Abstract:

30 Background: While research has explored the role of companions (accompanying family members) in medical visits, studies have not examined companions’ involvement in pre-surgical visits. This study explored how companions’ presence impacts communication and satisfaction during pre-surgical visits to discuss major cancer surgery. Methods: Secondary analysis of 61 pre-surgical visit recordings with 8 surgical oncologists at an academic tertiary care hospital. Recordings were analyzed using the Roter Interaction Analysis System, and surgeons and patients completed a post-visit satisfaction questionnaire. Poisson and logistic regression models were used to assess differences in communication and satisfaction when companions were present (n = 46, 75%) and not present (n = 16, 25%). Models were fit using generalized estimating equations to account for nesting of patients within surgeons. Results: Companion communication was largely emotional and facilitative. In unadjusted analyses, companion presence was associated with a 29% increase in surgeon talk in the visit overall (IRR 1.29, p = 0.006), and a 41% increase in the amount of medical information provided (IRR 1.41, p = 0.001). Companion presence was associated with 45% less patient disclosure related to lifestyle/psychosocial topics (IRR 0.55, p = 0.037). In adjusted analyses, companions’ presence was associated with 23% lower levels of patient-centeredness (IRR 0.77, p 0.004). No difference between visits with and without companions in patient nor surgeon satisfaction. Conclusions: Companions’ presence increased the medical focus of the discussion; surgeons conveyed more medical information, and patients disclosed less psychosocial information. Companions might perceive patients as anxious prior to major surgery, compelling companions to advocate for the patient. Companion’s presence might be beneficial; however, this benefit might not be captured by the patient-centeredness ratio. As there was no difference in satisfaction, patient and surgeon satisfaction may not be predicated on patient-centeredness, but on the conveyance of timely, surgery-related information. Clinical trial information: NCT02489799.

Abstract:

The objective of this study was to systematically characterize the content and patterning of companion’s communicative behavior during oncology consultations for older African-American male patients. Companions and family members often play an important role in patient-centered communication for patients with cancer. Despite their disproportionate cancer burden, little is known about how companions facilitate patient-provider communication for older African-American men with cancer. This study represents a secondary qualitative analysis of 14 video-recorded doctor patient-companion medical visits for African-American male patients with cancer. Videos were captured with consent and institutional review board approval at a Midwest comprehensive cancer center between 2002 and 2006. These medical visits were transcribed, deidentified, and analyzed for the content, frequency, co-occurrence, and thematic clustering of companions’ active participation behaviors during the interaction. Results were well aligned with existing studies on accompanied oncology visits. Patients were on average, 60.14 years old and all but one of the 16 companions was a woman. A total 782 companion behaviors were coded across 14 medical interactions. While companions communicated directly with providers (eg, asking questions, providing medical history) and directly with patients (eg, clarifying information, giving advice), there was a lack of triadic communication. This study clarifies the role of mainly spousal companions as important intermediaries in the patient-provider communication dynamic for older African-American men with cancer.

Abstract:

ObjectivesTo determine emergency department (ED) physicians’ perceptions regarding hospital companions being prohibited from accompanying the patient during COVID-19.DesignTwo qualitative datasets were combined. Data collected included voice recordings, narrative interviewing and semistructured interviews. A reflexive thematic analysis was conducted and guided by the Normalisation Process Theory.SettingSix hospital EDs in the Western Cape, South Africa.ParticipantsConvenience sampling was used to recruit a total of eight physicians working full time in the ED during COVID-19.ResultsThe lack of physical companions provided an opportunity for physicians to assess and reflect on a companion’s role in efficient patient care. Physicians perceived that the COVID-19 restrictions illuminated that patient companions engaged in the ED as providers contributing to patient care by providing collateral information and patient support, while simultaneously engaging as consumers detracting physicians from their priorities and patient care. These restrictions prompted the physicians to consider how they understand their patients largely through the companions. When companions became virtual, the physicians were forced to shift how they perceive their patient, which included increased empathy.ConclusionThe reflections of providers can feed into discussions about values within the healthcare system and can help explore the balance between medical and social safety, especially with companion restrictions still being practised in some hospitals. These perceptions illuminate various tradeoffs physicians had to consider throughout the pandemic and may be used to improve companion policies when planning for the continuation of the COVID-19 pandemic and future disease outbreaks.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Observations of systems hosting close-in (<1 au) giant planets and brown dwarfs (M ≳ 7 MJup) find an excess of binary-star companions, indicating that stellar multiplicity may play an important role in their formation. There is now increasing evidence that some of these objects may have formed via fragmentation in gravitationally unstable discs. We present a suite of 3D smoothed particle hydrodynamics simulations of binary-star systems with circumprimary self-gravitating discs, which include a realistic approximation to radiation transport, and extensively explore the companion’s orbital parameter space for configurations that may trigger fragmentation. We identify a ‘sweet spot’ where intermediate separation binary companions (100 au ≲ a ≲ 400 au) can cause a marginally stable disc to fragment. The exact range of ideal binary separations is a function of the companion’s eccentricity, inclination, and mass. Heating is balanced by efficient cooling, and fragmentation occurs inside a spiral mode driven by the companion. Short separation, disc-penetrating binary encounters (a ≲ 100 au) are prohibitive to fragmentation, as mass stripping and disc heating quench any instability. This is also true of binary companions with high orbital eccentricities (e ≳ 0.75). Wide separation companions (a ≳ 500 au) have little effect on the disc properties for the set-up parameters considered here. The sweet spot found is consistent with the range of binary separations that display an excess of close-in giant planets and brown dwarfs. Hence, we suggest that fragmentation triggered by a binary companion may contribute to the formation of these substellar objects.

Abstract:

The documentary Crip Camp presents a 1970s summer camp for disabled youth as a place of friendship and political dialogues that spawned the American disability rights movement. The film also represented Camp Jened as a haven of racial harmony and inclusion. Jened was not the only American micro-community of disability solidarity and political possibilities that also involved questions of racial politics. Scholars have criticized disability activists and disability studies scholars for neglecting problems of racial oppression. This historical study examines three examples of empowering disability subcultures in twentieth century America: Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s Warm Springs rehabilitation resort from the mid-1920s through the mid-1940s, the Rolling Quads at the University of California, Berkeley, in the late 1960s, and Camp Interdependence in California in the 1980s. The article interrogates the racial politics of these egalitarian communities.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Black widows are millisecond pulsars with low-mass companions, a few per cent the mass of the sun, on orbits of several hours. These companions are presumably the remnants of main-sequence stars that lost their mass through a combination of Roche lobe overflow and ablation by the host pulsar’s high-energy radiation. While ablation itself is too weak to significantly reduce the mass of the companion star, the ablated wind couples to its magnetic field, removes orbital angular momentum, and thus maintains stable Roche lobe overflow. We use the mesa stellar evolution code, complemented by analytical estimates, to track initially main-sequence companions as they are reduced to a fraction of their original mass by this ablation-driven magnetic braking. We argue that magnetic braking remains effective even for low-mass companions. A key ingredient of our model is that the irradiating luminosity of the pulsar Lirr deposits energy in the companion’s atmosphere and thereby slows down its Kelvin–Helmholtz cooling. We find that the high-energy luminosities measured by Fermi $L_{\rm irr}=0.1\rm {-}3$ L⊙ can explain the span of black widow orbital periods. The same Lirr range reproduces the companions’ night-side temperatures, which cluster around 3000 K, as inferred from optical light curves.

Abstract:

Background: Birth companion refers to a person who provides support to laboring women during child birth. Various studies have shown the benefits of birth companions. The objective of this study was to assess the attitude of mothers towards the involvement of birth companions during child birth at St Paul’s Hospital Millennium Medical College (SPHMMC) and its selected catchment health centers. Methodology: The study used a cross-sectional study to determine the perception of postpartum mothers on the involvement of birth companions during child birth. Result: The study included a total of 393 postpartum women. The finding from the study showed majority of the post-partum women (98.7%) were not allowed to have companions during labor. Among postpartum women 27.3 % has negative attitude towards involvement of birth companions. The commonest reasons mentioned by post-partum women for having negative attitude to this practice included need for privacy, religious values and fear of overburdening family members with stress. Conclusion: The findings from this study showed that majority of women were denied the option of having a birth companion. The study has also shown the desire to have birth companion isn’t universal among laboring women in our setup. There is a need to understand the socio-cultural values of the community before embarking on widespread implementation of involvement of birth companions. Key words: Birth companions, post-partum women, Ethiopia

Abstract:

A labor companion of choice during childbirth is crucial for improving women’s birth experience and confidence to give birth. Labor companions provide various benefits, including enhanced communication, emotional support, non-pharmacological pain relief, and better healthcare. However, little is known about the supportive actions of labor companions with respect to women’s needs during labor and birth, as well as healthcare providers’ perceptions of labor companions. Therefore, this study was conducted to explore the perceptions of healthcare providers and women regarding labor companions. The study utilized an interpretative phenomenology research design. Data collection involved conducting semi-structured interviews with 14 participants. The sample consisted of mothers, physicians, and nurses, ensuring a diverse range of perspectives. An interpretative phenomenological analysis was conducted for data analysis. Five themes were identified: (a) impact of companionship, (b) benefits for healthcare providers, (c) companion roles, (d) loneliness and alienation of mothers, and (e) challenges of implementation. The findings indicated that the presence of a companion reduces the need for unnecessary medical interventions and eases the workload of healthcare providers. Without a companion, mothers often feel lonely and disconnected during the birthing process. The presence of companions is often hindered by space limitations in delivery rooms, the absence of clear policies, and lack of childbirth education programs for companions. Clear policies, education programs, and adequate space are essential for implementing and promoting labor companionship during childbirth.

Abstract:

In this thesis I present a new near-infrared photometric search for unresolved ultracool companions and debris disks to white dwarfs in UKIDSS DR5. 24 DA white dwarfs were found with multiple excesses indicative of a low mass companion, with 7 of these having a predicted mass in the range associated with brown dwarfs. The results of this survey show that the unresolved brown dwarf companion fraction to DA white dwarfs is 0.5 ≤ fWD+BD ≤ 1.8 ± 0.7%. I also calculate the unresolved L-dwarf companion fraction to be 0.5 ≤ fWD+dL ≤ 1.5 ± 0.6%, which is much higher than the previous estimate of Farihi, Becklin & Zuckerman (2005). However, the results are consistent with previous estimates of the brown dwarf companion fraction to main sequence stars. I analyse the near-infrared spectra of eleven known DA white dwarf + M-dwarf binaries, and compare the spectral types assigned using optical photometry against those assigned using near-infrared spectra. I search for evidence that the known short period systems once existed in a common envelope phase. No such evidence was found. I also present the spectroscopic analysis of two particularly interesting binaries; PG 1234+ 482 and PHL 5038. PG 1234+482 is the hottest and youngest DA white dwarf with a cool companion on the stellar-substellar borderline. I discuss the possibility that the companion is a brown dwarf, and the possibility that the secondary is the source of contamination by heavy metals in the white dwarf's atmosphere. PHL 5038 was identified to have a near-infrared excess in UKIDSS, and the spectroscopic analysis in this thesis confirms that the secondary in this system can be resolved at a projected orbital separation of 55AU, and is a brown dwarf with spectral type L8-L9. This is only the second such pair found (over 20 years later) after GD165AB. The secondary in this system has the potential to be used as a benchmark brown dwarf for testing substellar atmospheric models.

Abstract:

In this thesis I present the search for ultracool dwarf companions to main sequence stars, subgiants and white dwarfs. The ultracool dwarfs identified here are benchmark objects, with known ages and distances. The online data archives, the two micron all sky survey (2MASS) and SuperCOSMOS were searched for ultracool companions to white dwarfs, where one M9 1 companion to a DA white dwarf is spectroscopically confirmed as the widest separated system of its kind known to date. The age of the M9 1 is constrained to a minium age of 1.94Gyrs, based on the estimated age of the white dwarf from a spectroscopically derived Teff and log g and an initial-final mass relation. This search was extended using the next generation surveys, the sloan digital sky survey (SDSS) and the UK infrared deep sky survey (UKIDSS), where potential white dwarf + ultracool dwarf binary systems from this search are presented. A handful of these candidate systems were followed-up with second epoch near infrared (NIR) imaging. A new white dwarf with a spectroscopic M4 companion and a possible wide tertiary ultracool component is here confirmed. Also undertaken was a pilot imaging survey in the NIR, to search for ultracool companions to subgiants in the southern hemisphere using the Anglo-Australian telescope. The candidates from that search, as well as the subsequent follow-up of systems through second epoch NIR/optical imaging and methane imaging are presented. No systems are confirmed from the current data but a number of good candidates remain to be followed-up and look encouraging. A search for widely separated ultracool objects selected from 2MASS as companions to Hipparcos main-sequence stars was also undertaken. 16 candidate systems were revealed, five of which had been previously identified and two new L0 2 companions are here confirmed, as companions to the F5V spectroscopic system HD120005 and the M dwarf GD 605. The properties of HD120005C were calculated using the DUSTY and COND models from the Lyon group, and the age of the systems were inferred from the primary members. For GD 605B no age constraint could be placed due to the lack of information available about the primary, but HD120005C has an estimated age of 2-4Gyr. In the final part of this thesis I investigate correlations with NIR broadband colours (J - H, H - K and J - K) with respect to properties, Teff , log g and [Fe/H] for the benchmark ultracool dwarfs, both confirmed from the searches undertaken in this work and those available from the literature. This resulted in an observed correlation with NIR colour and Teff, which is presented here. I find no correlation however with NIR colours and log g or [Fe/H], due in part to a lack of suitable benchmarks. I show that despite the current lack of good benchmark objects, this work has the potential to allow UCD properties to be measured from observable characteristics, and suggest that expanding this study should reveal many more benchmarks where true correlation between properties and observables can be better investigated.

Abstract:

American culture tends to consider imaginary friends (or imaginal companions, as I refer to them) as a folk belief belonging in the realm of childhood. If an adult believes in imaginal companions, they are potentially subject to the social stigma of psychological labeling. The mass media reflects this perception of reality and influences social interactions regarding experiences and beliefs in imaginal companions. Fear of this social stigma limits folk group size, which potentially creates an issue with informant group size. I gathered my informants from a group of friends, whom I interviewed over a one-year period. Although there is a danger of overgeneralizing when dealing with a small informant group, I reached many useful conclusions pertaining to the belief in imaginal companions as a "hidden tradition" expressed through narratives in small groups. Social relationships clearly exist between imaginal companions and believers of imaginal companions. The formation of a dyadic folk group begins with the initial appearance of the imaginal companion and communication with the believer. The believer perceives their imaginal companion or companions by manipulating the influence of the culture and society around them. However, there are other folk groups to consider in relation to this phenomenon as well. Through storytelling in safe environments, folk groups of varying sizes emerge, ranging from other dyads to slightly larger groups. Although a believer may create these groups through cautious social interaction, they may also be born into a safe environment such as a family of believers. These groups tend to revolve around storytelling. Investigations of these social interactions, as expressed in narrative form, suggest American cultural influences on personal perceptions of reality.

Abstract:

From fleeting interactions to long affairs, our relationships with things are diverse and complex. Like people, designed objects and environments are close companions in our lives. The way we understand and engage with artifacts is parallel to the way we interpret and interact with each other. A constant source of comfort and delight, frustration and anxiety, their personalities inform our everyday dialogues and experiences. Designed artifacts assume engaging and pleasurable personalities when they transcend materials, challenge perceptions, and garner active, reflective interactions. Through the investigation of familiar materials such as concrete, crayons, paper, sequins, and thread in unfamiliar formats and contexts, I am creating objects that are playful in construction and interaction. By imbuing objects with friendly and intriguing personalities, everyday interactions and experiences with these objects are elevated, as users invest in pleasurable forays and relationships.

Full text

Abstract:

Millisecond Pulsars (MSPs) are fast rotating, highly magnetized neutron stars. According to the "canonical recycling scenario", MSPs form in binary systems containing a neutron star which is spun up through mass accretion from the evolving companion. Therefore, the final stage consists of a binary made of a MSP and the core of the deeply peeled companion. In the last years, however an increasing number of systems deviating from these expectations has been discovered, thus strongly indicating that our understanding of MSPs is far to be complete. The identification of the optical companions to binary MSPs is crucial to constrain the formation and evolution of these objects. In dense environments such as Globular Clusters (GCs), it also allows us to get insights on the cluster internal dynamics. By using deep photometric data, acquired both from space and ground-based telescopes, we identified 5 new companions to MSPs. Three of them being located in GCs and two in the Galactic Field. The three new identifications in GCs increased by 50% the number of such objects known before this Thesis. They all are non-degenerate stars, at odds with the expectations of the "canonical recycling scenario". These results therefore suggest either that transitory phases should also be taken into account, or that dynamical processes, as exchange interactions, play a crucial role in the evolution of MSPs. We also performed a spectroscopic follow-up of the companion to PSRJ1740-5340A in the GC NGC 6397, confirming that it is a deeply peeled star descending from a ~0.8Msun progenitor. This nicely confirms the theoretical expectations about the formation and evolution of MSPs.

Abstract:

This document is part of a series of technical notes describing the compilation of a new companion database that complements the World Income Inequality Database (WIID). It aims at facilitating the analysis of inequality as well as progress in achieving the global goal of reducing inequality within and across countries. This new dataset also includes an annual series reporting the income distribution at the percentile level for all citizens in the world, regardless of where they live, from 1950 to the present. This technical note describes the first stage in constructing the first version of the companion datasets: data selection. It provides an overview of the approach followed in the selection of the series from different sources with information on income distribution and inequality that best represent each country and period. It also discusses the general criteria used and their implementation, which are illustrated with a few country examples.

Abstract:

This document is part of a series of technical notes describing the compilation of a new companion database that complements the UNU-WIDER World Income Inequality Database. It aims at facilitating the analysis of inequality as well as progress in achieving the global goal of reducing inequality within and across countries. This new dataset includes an annual series reporting the income distribution at the percentile level for all citizens in the world, regardless of where they live, from 1950 to the present. The global distribution is displayed along with the country-level information used to produce it. The dataset also includes estimates of various global absolute and relative inequality measures, and the income share of key population groups. All estimates are further disaggregated by the contribution of inequalities within and between countries, as well as by each country’s geographical region and income group. While previous technical notes described the selection of country income distribution series and the integration and standardization process to overcome the heterogeneity in original welfare concepts and other methods, I here describe all the necessary additional steps and assumptions made to construct the new global dataset.
