Triadic percolation on multilayer networks.
No full textTriadic interactions are special types of higher-order interactions that occur when regulator nodes modulate the interactions between other two or more nodes. In the presence of triadic interactions, a percolation process occurring on a single-layer network becomes a full fledged dynamical system, characterized by period doubling and a route to chaos. Here we generalize the model to multilayer networks and name it as the multilayer triadic percolation (MTP) model. We find a much richer dynamical behavior of the MTP model than its single-layer counterpart. MTP displays a Neimark-Sacker bifurcation, leading to oscillations of arbitrarily large period or pseudoperiodic oscillations. Moreover, MTP admits period-two oscillations without negative regulatory interactions, whereas single-layer systems only display discontinuous hybrid transitions. This comprehensive model offers new insights on the importance of regulatory interactions in real-world systems such as brain networks, climate, and ecological systems

No full textEveryone Breathes: a mixed methods evaluation of a combined Feldenkrais and vocal improvisation group within an adult mental health Recovery College setting
No full text Background A range of singing interventions exist for mental health contexts, but few have incorporated group-based body, breathwork and vocal improvisation. The Feldenkrais method has potential to support singing interventions by raising attention to body and breath. This study aimed to describe practice and evaluate experiences and outcomes of a Feldenkrais and group vocal improvisation workshop provided by professional musicians and a Feldenkrais practitioner in a Recovery College setting. Methods We used an observational mixed methods design. The workshop was held by a Recovery College for adults living with mental health challenges. All group attendees were invited to participate in the evaluation. Those who consented completed questionnaires at the workshop beginning, end, and two weeks later. We assessed mental wellbeing alongside goals, emotions, group appraisal, un/helpful and important events. Researchers attended as participant observers and conducted a focus group on the third day. We used interpretive content analysis to understand group content and evaluations. Quantitative data were analysed descriptively. Results Eight service users (4 male, 5 white British, mean age=43) consented to participate. Group practice was summarised following TIDieR principles and emphasised equality and collaboration. Service users were attracted to the unusual course content, with a strong wish to connect with others and learn. Feldenkrais movement facilitated authentic vocal exploration, expression and creativity. This was experienced initially with some anxiety, but later supported bonding, enjoyment and fun. Experiences were positive, with benefits relating to capacity to breathe, connection to the body, ability to express themselves and find an authentic voice, as well as gain group support. Wellbeing improved on average by 3.14 (range 1–8) to a moderate wellbeing score of 25.9 with a standard deviation (SD) of 2.9. The workshop intensity and course focus were highlighted as areas for future development. Discussion The Everyone Breathes workshop offers an intensive, creative, and supportive experience within the Recovery College context. The pilot evaluation suggests the group was well-received, safe and has potential to improve wellbeing in a relatively short timeframe. Future research should explore how to develop content and broaden opportunities for wider implementation to enable formal assessments of effectiveness. </jats:sec
