No full textSystematic Review of the Literature (SRL): Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Psychosocial Outcomes in Children and Young People with Long-Term Physical Health Conditions: A Systematic Review of Intervention Studies Background: Children and young people (CYP) with long-term physical health conditions (LTCs) are at greater risk of psychosocial difficulties. Systematic reviews on adults with LTCs have supported acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) in improving several psychosocial outcomes. Aims: This systematic review aimed to investigate the effectiveness of ACT on CYP-reported psychosocial outcomes among CYP with LTCs. It also examined the factors associated with the effects and the quantitative acceptability of the included ACT interventions. Methods: Eligible studies used a quantitative experimental design to evaluate ACT for CYP-reported psychosocial outcomes in CYP (≤18 years old) with LTCs. Only studies published in English in peer-reviewed journals, from any year, were included. CINAHL (EBSCO), Cochrane Library, Embase (Ovid), MEDLINE (Ovid) and PsycInfo (Ovid) were systematically searched. Google Scholar and Web of Science were also searched and forward and backward citation searching were completed for included papers. Research quality was appraised using Cochrane risk of bias tools. Results were narratively synthesised. Results: Sixteen studies (nine randomised controlled trials [RCTs], seven non-RCTs) from 19 reports met inclusion criteria, with 777 participants and five LTCs (chronic pain, diabetes, cancer, obesity, visual impairment). Findings provided preliminary support for the effectiveness of ACT on most CYP-reported psychosocial outcomes studied. Seven studies considered factors associated with intervention effects, with mixed findings. Acceptability was supported in the three studies that assessed it quantitatively. However, almost all studies had overall high/serious risk of bias ratings. Conclusion: There is preliminary evidence supporting the effectiveness of ACT in improving CYP-reported psychosocial outcomes in CYP with LTCs, with limited but supportive findings for its acceptability. However, findings are constrained by high/serious risk of bias and small sample sizes. Larger, high-quality trials with active controls and longer follow-ups are needed to inform future care pathways. Registration: This systematic review was pre-registered (PROSPERO registration number: CRD42023425918). Service Improvement Project (SIP): “We Are Here Too”: Experiences and Perceived Support Needs of Adolescent Siblings of Paediatric Oncology Ward Inpatients at Oxford Children’s Hospital Background: Adolescent siblings of children and young people (CYP) with cancer are at increased risk of experiencing psychosocial difficulties. Kamran’s Ward, a paediatric oncology ward at Oxford Children’s Hospital, recognised the need for improving sibling support. This project aimed to explore the experiences and perceived needs of adolescent siblings of CYP on Kamran’s Ward to inform service improvement recommendations for sibling support. Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 10 adolescent siblings of CYP who had recently stayed on Kamran’s Ward. Interviews were transcribed verbatim and analysed using reflexive thematic analysis. The findings were reviewed in consultation with staff and used to identify feasible recommendations for improving sibling support.Results: An overarching narrative of siblings wanting to feel part of the cancer journey, including their family’s experience on Kamran’s Ward, was found, with three key themes: (i) “what about me?”: overlooked and unseen, (ii) “always changing, never knowing”: the challenge of uncertainty and (iii) “let me be part of it all”: togetherness, communication and connection. These findings informed sibling support recommendations, organised by level of need. Recommendations included: psychosocial screening, staff training, opportunities for family time and communication and developmentally appropriate information for all siblings (universal support), monitoring psychosocial difficulties, providing someone to talk to and fostering family and peer connection for siblings requiring additional support (targeted support) and one-to-one psychological support and family therapy for persistent and/or escalating distress (clinical/treatment support). Conclusion: Based on the experiences of adolescent siblings, a range of sibling support recommendations have been identified. Implementation and evaluation of these recommendations are warranted. Theory Driven Research Project (TDRP): Self-Compassion, Mental Health and Emotion Regulation in Adults with Temporal Lobe Epilepsy Background: People with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) are at increased risk of mental health difficulties. Self-compassion, comprised of self-kindness, common humanity and mindfulness, has been associated with better mental health in wider epilepsy populations. Previous research suggests that self-compassion may be protective by fostering better emotion regulation. However, this has not been studied in TLE. Aims: To (1) compare adults with TLE, other types of epilepsy (non-TLE) and non-epilepsy controls on measures of self-compassion, anxiety and depression, and (2) investigate the relationships between self-compassion, mental health and emotion regulation difficulties in adults with TLE. Methods: A cross-sectional, online survey was completed by 180 adults with TLE, 149 with non-TLE and 127 non-epilepsy controls. The survey measured sociodemographic and epilepsy-related factors, self-compassion, anxiety, depression and emotion regulation difficulties. Results: Anxiety and depression were highest in adults with TLE, followed by non-TLE and then non-epilepsy controls. Overall self-compassion, and components self-kindness and common humanity, were lowest in adults with TLE, followed by non-TLE and then non-epilepsy controls. Mindfulness was lower among epilepsy groups than non-epilepsy controls but did not significantly differ between epilepsy groups. In TLE, higher self-compassion predicted lower anxiety and depression, after controlling for significant sociodemographic and epilepsy-related factors. Emotion regulation difficulties partially mediated such relationships. Clinical implications: These findings contribute to understanding risk factors for poor mental health among adults with TLE. Future research evaluating interventions to target such factors is needed, to inform psychological support and care pathways
Kraichnan-Leith-Batchelor similarity theory and two-dimensional inverse cascades
No full textWe study the scaling properties and Kraichnan-Leith-Batchelor (KLB) theory of forced inverse cascades in generalized two-dimensional (2D) fluids (-turbulence models) simulated at resolution . We consider (surface quasigeostrophic flow), (2D vorticity dynamics) and . The forcing scale is well-resolved, a direct cascade is present and there is no large-scale dissipation. Coherent vortices spanning a range of sizes, most larger than the forcing scale, are present for both and . The active scalar field for contains comparatively few and small vortices. The energy spectral slopes in the inverse cascade are steeper than the KLB prediction in all three systems. Since we stop the simulations well before the cascades have reached the domain scale, vortex formation and spectral steepening are not due to condensation effects; nor are they caused by large-scale dissipation, which is absent. One- and two-point pdfs, hyperflatness factors and structure functions indicate that the inverse cascades are intermittent and non-Gaussian over much of the inertial range for and , while the inverse cascade is much closer to Gaussian and non-intermittent. For the steep spectrum is close to that associated with enstrophy equipartition. Continuous wavelet analysis shows approximate KLB scaling () and () in the interstitial regions between the coherent vortices. Our results demonstrate that coherent vortex formation ( and ) and non-realizability () cause 2D inverse cascades to deviate from the KLB predictions, but that the flow between the vortices exhibits KLB scaling and non-intermittent statistics for and . The results will appear in \cite{BurgessEA2015}, which has been accepted to the \emph{Journal of Fluid Mechanics}
Ultra thin and transfer tattoo UHF RFID tags
No full textThis paper describes inkjet printing as a digital fabrication tool for the manufacture of RFID tags on flexible and porous substrates (i.e. paper). The RFID tag presented is a single layer, ultrathin UHF tag in the form of a transfer tattoo, [1] which evolved from ultra-thin, substrate insensitive tag designs, [2]. Operation has been demonstrated when mounted direct on the skin with initial read ranges in the region of 1m and subsequent improvements have enabled read range increases. The implications of ink sintering processes for paper based transfer tattoos will be discussed as specifically applied to this work, [3], and resulting patch conductivities and read ranges highlighted for tags printed on tattoo transfer paper, [4]. Recent developments in selective ink layering will be outlined to illustrate the benefits to cost effective fabrication and efficient tattoo patch operation. Finally, work integrating additional components to improve transponder efficiency will be presented and leading to the concept of an ultra-thin battery for power assisted tagging where on-skin read ranges of 6m are possible. The issues for fabrication will be discussed for deposition and fabrication of such ultra-low profile sensitive tattoo tags.

Prandtl number effects on the decaying and the forced turbulence in stratified fluids
No full textEffects of high-Prandtl number density-stratifying scalar, i.e., active scalar, on decaying and forced turbulence in stratified fluids are investigated by numerical simulations. In decaying turbulence, potential energy spectrum of the high-Prandtl number active scalar (Pr=6) agrees with the kinetic energy spectrum even at small scales. In forced steady turbulence, these two spectra again approach each other at small scales. These phenomena, which are in disagreement with the Batchelor scaling for a high-Schmidt number passive scalar, occur at scales even smaller than the Ozmidov scale, suggesting that these effects would not be negligible in general

Turbulent super-diffusion as a ballistic cascade
No full textSince the pioneering work of Richardson in 1926, later refined by Batchelor and Obukhov in 1950, it is predicted that the rate of separation of pairs of fluid elements in turbulent flows with initial separation at inertial scales, grows ballistically first (Batchelor regime), before undergoing a transition towards a super-diffusive regime where the mean-square separation grows as (Richardson regime). Richardson empirically interpreted this super-diffusive regime in terms of a non-Fickian process with a scale dependent diffusion coefficient (the celebrated Richardson's ``4/3rd'' law). However, the actual physical mechanism at the origin of such a scale dependent diffusion coefficient remains unclear. The present work proposes a simple physical phenomenology for the Richardson super-diffusivity in turbulence based on a scale dependent \emph{ballistic} scenario rather than a scale dependent \emph{diffusive} scenario. It is shown that this phenomenology elucidates several aspects of turbulent dispersion: (i) it gives a simple physical explanation of the origin of the super diffusive Richardson regime as an iterative cascade of scale-dependent ballistic separations, (ii) it simply relates the Richardson constant to the Kolmogorov constant (and eventually to a ballistic persistence parameter), (iii) it gives a simple physical interpretation of the non-Fickian scale-dependent diffusivity coefficient as originally proposed by Richardson and (iv) a further extension of the phenomenology, taking into account higher order corrections to the local ballisitic motion, gives a robust interpretation of the assymetry between forward and backward dispersion, with an explicit connection to the energy flux accross scales
