We present a cosmic microwave background (CMB) large-scale polarization dataset obtained by combining
Wilkinson
Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) in the
K
,
Q
, and
V
bands with the
Planck
70 GHz ...maps. We employed the legacy frequency maps released by the WMAP and
Planck
collaborations and performed our own Galactic foreground mitigation technique, relying on
Planck
353 GHz for polarized dust and on
Planck
30 GHz and WMAP K for polarized synchrotron. We derived a single, optimally noise-weighted, low residual foreground map and the accompanying noise covariance matrix. These are shown through
χ
2
analysis to be robust over an ample collection of Galactic masks. We used this dataset, along with the
Planck
legacy
Commander
temperature solution, to build a pixel-based low-resolution CMB likelihood package, whose robustness we tested extensively with the aid of simulations, finding an excellent level of consistency. Using this likelihood package alone, we are able to constrain the optical depth to reionization,
τ
= 0.069
−0.012
+0.011
at 68% confidence level, on 54% of the sky. Adding the
Planck
high-ℓ temperature and polarization legacy likelihood, the
Planck
lensing likelihood, and BAO observations, we find
τ
= 0.0714
−0.0096
+0.0087
in a full ΛCDM exploration. The latter bounds are slightly less constraining than those obtained by employing the
Planck
High Frequency Instrument’s (HFI) CMB data for large-angle polarization, which only include EE correlations. Our bounds are based on a largely independent dataset that includes TE correlations. They are generally compatible with
Planck
HFI, but lean towards slightly higher values for
τ
. We have made the low-resolution
Planck
and WMAP joint dataset publicly available, along with the accompanying likelihood code.
Mental health services provided in correctional facilities require improvement (Fazel et al., 2016). One strategy for improving care in these facilities may be to give consideration to a patient's ...personality dynamics when planning interventions or interacting with the patient. Understanding a patient in the context of their personality dynamics can give members of a treatment team an increased ability to predict a patient's experience of, and response to, different interventions, situations, and stimuli. This brief report identifies three treatment issues relevant to correctional settings and then uses clinical material from three cases to illustrate how conceptualizing each patient's personality dynamics helped address these issues by facilitating more considerate and patient-centered interactions between staff and patient, assisting in the planning of behavioral interventions that were better suited for a patient's personality, and by guiding approaches to building rapport and encouraging a patient's engagement in their own treatment. These brief cases demonstrate the diverse utility of attending to each patient's personality dynamics in correctional settings.
矫正机构提供的精神卫生服务需要改进(Fazel 等,2016)。改善这些机构保健的一种策略可能是在计划干预或与患者互动时,考虑到患者的人格动力。在患者的人格动力中理解他们,可以使治疗团队成员更有能力预测患者对不同的干预、情境和刺激的体验和反应。这篇简短的报告指出了三个与矫正设置有关的治疗问题,然后用三个案例的临床材料来说明了概念化每位患者的人格动力是如何帮助解决这些问题,通过促进更多的体贴以及工作人员和病人之间以患者为中心的互动,协助计划更适合患者人格的行为干预,并指导建立融洽关系及鼓励患者参与他们自己的治疗的方法。这些简短的案例说明了在矫正设置中注意每位患者人格动力的不同效用。
Often believed to have Kraepelinian origins, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders—5th Edition (DSM-5) defines personality disorders using a categorical, hierarchical taxonomic ...system. This system possesses many long-standing problems for clinical practice, including a large assortment of symptom combinations that contribute to problematic heterogeneity and likely impair diagnostic validity. The DSM diagnostic system was at one time heavily influenced by psychoanalytic theory (Shorter 2005). A desire for greater theoretical neutrality then encouraged a shift away from psychoanalytic theory, resulting in the problematic atheoretical model of personality pathology introduced in DSM-III (1980) and still used today. The Alternative Model for Personality Disorders (AMPD), introduced in DSM-5 (2013), is an attempt to reconcile many of the categorical model’s issues and directly parallels primary themes that characterize psychoanalytic models of personality. After a review of the historical development of DSM, three current systems for diagnosing personality pathology—the DSM-5’s categorical model (2013), its AMPD (2013), and the Psychodynamic Diagnostic Manual (2nd ed.; Alliance of Psychoanalytic Organizations 2017) are compared. The comparison illustrates how the AMPD brings psychoanalytic theory back into the DSM system and acknowledges the implications of a more psychoanalytic DSM.

We present the data reduction pipeline for the Herschel Infrared Galactic Plane survey (Hi-GAL). Hi-GAL is a key project of the Herschel satellite, which is mapping the inner part of the Galactic ...plane (|l| ≤ 70° and |b| ≤ 1°), using two Photodetector Array Camera and Spectrometer (PACS) and three Spectral and Photometric Imaging Receiver (SPIRE) frequency bands, from 70 to 500 μm. Our pipeline relies only partially on the Herschel Interactive Processing Environment (hipe). It features several newly developed routines to perform data reduction, including accurate data culling, noise estimation and minimum variance map-making, the latter performed with the romagal algorithm, a deep modification of the roma code already tested on cosmological surveys. We discuss in depth the properties of the Hi-GAL science demonstration phase data.
We study the propagation of a specific class of instrumental systematics to the reconstruction of the
B
-mode power spectrum of the cosmic microwave background (CMB). We focus on the non-idealities ...of the half-wave plate (HWP), a polarization modulator that is to be deployed by future CMB experiments, such as the phase-A satellite mission LiteBIRD. We study the effects of non-ideal HWP properties, such as transmittance, phase shift, and cross-polarization. To this end, we developed a simple, yet stand-alone end-to-end simulation pipeline adapted to LiteBIRD. We analyzed the effects of a possible mismatch between the measured frequency profiles of HWP properties (used in the mapmaking stage of the pipeline) and the actual profiles (used in the sky-scanning step). We simulated single-frequency, CMB-only observations to emphasize the effects of non-idealities on the BB power spectrum. We also considered multi-frequency observations to account for the frequency dependence of HWP properties and the contribution of foreground emission. We quantified the systematic effects in terms of a bias Δ
r
on the tensor-to-scalar ratio,
r
, with respect to the ideal case without systematic effects. We derived the accuracy requirements on the measurements of HWP properties by requiring Δ
r
< 10
−5
(1% of the expected LiteBIRD sensitivity on
r
). Our analysis is introduced by a detailed presentation of the mathematical formalism employed in this work, including the use of the Jones and Mueller matrix representations.
The parity symmetry of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) pattern as seen by Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe 7 yr (WMAP 7 yr) is tested jointly in temperature and polarization at large ...angular scale. A quadratic maximum likelihood (QML) estimator is applied to the WMAP 7-yr low-resolution maps to compute all polarized CMB angular power spectra. The analysis is supported by 10 000 realistic Monte Carlo realizations. We confirm the previously reported parity anomaly for TT in the range δℓ=2, 22 at >99.5 per cent C.L. No anomalies have been detected in TT for a wider ℓ range (up to ℓmax= 40). No violations have been found for EE, TE and BB which we test here for the first time. The cross-spectra TB and EB are found to be consistent with zero. We also forecast Planck capabilities in probing parity violations on low-resolution maps.
We discuss spherical needlets and their properties. Needlets are a form of spherical wavelets which do not rely on any kind of tangent plane approximation and enjoy good localization properties in ...both pixel and harmonic space; moreover needlet coefficients are asymptotically uncorrelated at any fixed angular distance, which makes their use in statistical procedures very promising. In view of these properties, we believe needlets may turn out to be especially useful in the analysis of cosmic microwave background (CMB) data on the incomplete sky, as well as of other cosmological observations. As a final advantage, we stress that the implementation of needlets is computationally very convenient and may rely completely on standard data analysis packages such as healpix.
Personality functioning impairment is at the center of many dimensional models of personality. Available measures of personality functioning impairment are limited to self-report, ...clinician-/informant-rated, and interview methods. Although researchers have begun investigating established performance-based instruments’ potential for assessing personality functioning impairment, administration and scoring of these instruments is complex and the latent variables they measure diverge from personality functioning impairment as described in the ICD-11 and the Alternative Model for Personality Disorders (AMPD) of the DSM. We address this absence by developing and psychometrically evaluating the Level of Personality Functioning Scale-Questionnaire-based Implicit Association Test (LPFS-qIAT). The LPFS-qIAT’s psychometric properties were evaluated across four studies, producing initial evidence supporting the new instrument’s reliability as well as its convergent, discriminant, and criterion-related validity. As the first performance-based measure of personality functioning impairment that aligns with the AMPD and, to a degree the ICD-11, that is easily administered, scored, and interpreted, the LPFS-qIAT shows potential to become a valuable tool in both research and clinical practice.
