Inter rater reliability of recovery capital: Assessment of a clinician rated measure
No full textThis study investigated the inter rater reliability for the Clinician Recovery Capital Measure as a tool to assess recovery capital for clients with alcohol and other drug problems. The sample consisted of 15 women (M = 40.07 years, SD = 10.79 years) and 6 men (M = 47.83 years, SD = 13.57 years), who had at least a three year degree or equivalent in a relevant field plus professional/practical experience with mental health clients. Assessment of inter rater reliability required participants to code standardised case notes using the Clinician Recovery Capital Measure. Data were analysed for total recovery capital as well as the subcategories of social, human, cultural and physical capital. Use of the Intra Class Correlation Coefficient (ICC) demonstrated excellent levels of inter rater reliability for total recovery capital ICC = 0.909, social capital ICC = 0.884, human capital ICC = 0.775, cultural capital ICC = 0.857, and physical capital ICC = 0.975. These ICC results demonstrate that the Clinician Recovery Capital Measure can be reliably coded by a range of mental health practioners in an Australian clinical context. This study is an important step in the development of the clinician recovery capital measure and the process of operationalising recovery.

Spectral ageing in the lobes of FR-II radio galaxies: new methods of analysis for broad-band radio data
No full textThe broad-bandwidth capabilities of next generation telescopes such as the Jansky Very Large Array (JVLA) mean that the spectrum of any given source varies significantly within the bandwidth of any given observation. Detailed spectral analysis taking this variation into account is set to become standard practice when dealing with any new broad-band radio observations; it is therefore vital that methods are developed to handle this new type of data. In this paper, we present the Broadband Radio Astronomy ToolS (brats) software package and, use it to carry out detailed analysis of JVLA observations of three powerful radio galaxies. We compare two of the most widely used models of spectral ageing, the Kardashev–Pacholczyk and Jaffe–Perola models and also results of the more complex, but potentially more realistic, Tribble model. We find that the Tribble model provides both a good fit to observations as well as providing a physically realistic description of the source. We present the first high-resolution spectral maps of our sources and find that the best-fitting injection indices across all models take higher values than have previously been assumed. We present characteristic hotspot advance speeds and make comparison to those derived from dynamical ages, confirming the previously known discrepancy in speed remains present when determined at high spectral resolutions. We show that some previously common assumptions made in determining spectral ages with narrow-band radio telescopes may not always hold and strongly suggest that these are accounted for in future investigations
Indirect Methods in Nuclear Astrophysics: ANCs
No full textOur understanding of stellar evolution depends on knowing beta-decay rates and reaction cross
sections for a wide range of nuclear capture reactions. Direct laboratory measurements of
important stellar reaction rates are hindered by low cross sections and, in some cases, the need
for radioactive targets. Indirect techniques have been developed to determine reaction rates for
systems that are particularly difficult to measure in a direct experiment. One of the indirect
techniques involves measurements of Asymptotic Normalization Coefficients (ANCs) which
determine the direct-capture contribution to a capture reaction. Also ANCs can be used to
understand the role of subthreshold states in stellar capture. This essay gives an introduction to
ANCs and describes how they are used in nuclear astrophysics. Examples are given of
measurements which have been carried out with both stable and radioactive beams

Authorship trends in the journal of cutaneous pathology
No full textThere has been a global increase in the number of authors per article across medical specialties.[1] The growth in authorship has been attributed to increased research complexity and honorary authorship.[2,3] This has led to debate on responsible authorship.[4] The International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) recommends limiting authorship credit to individuals who: 1) make substantial contributions to the conception or design of the work OR the acquisition, analysis of the data; AND 2) draft or critically review the work; AND 3) approve the final version; AND 4) agree to be accountable for all aspects of the work.[5] Those who do not fulfill all four criteria should be acknowledged instead.
Author counts per article have increased in journals across different scientific fields. [6-8] Authorship trends in the Journal of Cutaneous Pathology are unknown. The primary goal of this study is to evaluate authorship trends in the Journal of Cutaneous Pathology and analyze its relationship with relative citation rates and research complexity. We seek to test the a priori hypothesis that author counts have significantly increased over this period while controlling for study complexity and clinical impact. Secondary aims include comparison of mean author count by decade and comparison of the proportion of descriptive study designs by decade
