Abstract:
Childbearing, has been recognized in the literature as a major life event that can invoke many challenges for the woman and her family. Motherhood, either by natural conception (NC) or by egg donation (ED), entails risks as mothers’ psychological health is at high risk, during this crucial period. This systematic review was written with an eye to understand and explore the experience of motherhood between mothers lacking & not, a genetic bond to their embryo. This systematic review was conducted, from June 2021 till November 2021. It encompasses researches with English as a written language, published during the period 2001-2021 and deposited in the UK. Online databases like PubMed & Research Gate were used as a found and the selection criteria were, researches analyzing family building with oocyte donation or surrogacy in heterosexual couples. Adaption and embryo donation were inserted in the exclusion criteria. Ten studies were finally selected and fulfill all inclusion & exclusion criteria of this systematic review. In each age group of children, differences, but also, similarities occurred between ED and NC mothers. Differences were referred mainly to mothers’ psychological adjustment and mother-child interactions. After collating the final 10 studies, it was deduced that the experience of motherhood is almost close for each type of mother (ED or NC-IVF), with ED mothers, usually, face some extra thoughts and feelings towards the child and motherhood in general. Further research is suggested on mothers’ experiences and attitudes after ED, as for now, researches are limited.

Abstract:
Understanding the dynamics of social risk factors in the occurrence of adolescent motherhood is vital in designing more appropriate prevention initiatives in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs). We aimed this study to examine the transition of social risk factors and their association with adolescent motherhood in LMICs since the initiation of the MDGs. We analysed 119967 adolescent girls (15–19 years) from 40-nationally representative Demographic Health Surveys in 20 LMICs that had at least two surveys: a survey in 1996-2003(baseline, near MDGs started) and another in 2014-2018(endline). Adolescent motherhood (having a live birth or being pregnant before age 20) was the outcome of interest, whereas social risk factors including household wealth, girls’ level of education, and area of residence were the exposures. The association between adolescent motherhood and the social risk factors, as well as changes in the strength of the association over time were observed using multilevel logistic regression analysis. On an average, the proportion of adolescent mothers without education decreased by -15·61% (95% CI: -16·84, -14·38), whereas the poorest adolescent mother increased by 5·87% (95% CI: 4·74, 7·00). The national prevalence of adolescent motherhood remained unchanged or increased in 55·00% (11/20) of the studied countries. Comparing baseline to endline, the overall adjusted odds ratio (AOR) of adolescent motherhood increased for both poorest (AOR = 1·42, 95% CI: 1·28, 1·59) and rural residences (AOR = 1·09, 95% CI: 1·01, 1·17), and decreased, but not statistically significant for the low level of education (AOR = 0·92, 95% CI: 0·84, 1·01 for no education). Our study concludes that social risk factors of the adolescent mother had shifted in different directions during MDGs and SDGs eras, and adolescent mothers remained more disadvantaged than non-mothers in LMICs. Efforts need to be enhanced to improve adolescent girls’ education. Intervention should be prioritised in disadvantaged communities to delay adolescent first birth and prevent adolescent motherhood in LMICs.

Abstract:
Abstract. The transition to motherhood is an important moment in the life course, in which symbolic interactive dynamics are established between self, other, and world to overcome developmental challenges. However, these challenges are intensified with the COVID-19 pandemic, which caused a radical and unexpected rupture in daily life. This article aims to analyze the affective-semiotic dynamics of Brazilian women who experienced the transition to motherhood during the COVID-19 pandemic from a qualitative multiple case study. Eight women participated in the study in the city of Salvador. Data were collected from two narrative interviews with each participant conducted through videoconference, with a 2-month interval between interviews. The main finding reveals that the emergence of the pandemic was described by the participants as an unexpected and significant rupture in the transition to motherhood that raised feelings of fear and anxiety. In addition, I–other relations were marked by intense ambivalence between the need for social support and the risk of contagion, and the perspective and experience of childbirth were marked by a feeling of insecurity in the relations with the health personnel and settings. In light of Semiotic Cultural Psychology, three interdependent affective-semiotic fields were highlighted from the narratives: the perception of oneself regulated by the sign of vulnerability, the other regulated by the sign of a potential threat, and healthcare provision regulated by the sign of risk. These findings highlight the importance of quality healthcare that helps women to reduce the disruptive impact of the pandemic on the ontogenetic structure of psychological organization.

Abstract:
In recent decades, normative expectations for parenthood have changed for both men and women, fertility has declined, and work–family arrangements have become more egalitarian. Previous studies indicate that the transition to parenthood and work–family arrangements both influence life satisfaction and do so differently for men and women. Drawing on constructivism and utility maximization, we theorize how gendered parenthood norms influence life satisfaction after the transition to parenthood, and how decisions regarding motherhood and fatherhood are made in order to maximize life satisfaction. We hypothesize that the rise of gender-egalitarian patterns has contributed to closing the parental happiness gap, and that the effects of motherhood and fatherhood on life satisfaction have converged. We test these assumptions by drawing on data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (1984-2015) and applying a series of hybrid panel regressions to estimate motherhood and fatherhood effects on life satisfaction in Western Germany over the last three decades. We then trace trends in these effects back to changing parenthood norms. The results indicate that the implications of parenthood have converged for men and women. As support for a gendered division of labor has lost ground, the transition to parenthood has become increasingly conducive to life satisfaction for both genders, and the parental happiness gap has vanished.

Abstract:
Introduction. Universally mothers at 35 years or more have had higher maternal and perinatal risks. This study analyzed the trend of this group in maternal population and determined their risk of having premature children, during the demographic transition period in Chile.Materials and Methods. Epidemiological study conducted in the population of simple live births registered in the Chilean National Database Births of 1991–2012. Analyses were performed in three categories of maternal age: 35 or more, under 35, and 20 to 29 years. The risk of prematurity was measured by crude and Adjusted Odds Ratio from logistic regression model.Results. Mothers aged 35 and older increased in population from 10.6% in 1991 to 16.7% in 2012 and presented an overall prevalence of preterm delivery of 6.7%, higher prevalence than 20–29 age group (4.7%). In aging mothers, the Odds Ratio for preterm birth adjusted for education, marital status, and parity was 1.68 (95% CI (1.66–1.70)) compared to mothers aged 20–29. All differences were significant (p<0.001).Conclusions. During Chilean demographic transition, mothers aged 35 or older increased steadily and significantly maintaining higher risks of preterm births. Policies to prevent and monitor the late motherhood could contribute to stopping the current trend.

Abstract:
Untreated postpartum mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs) place women and their families at risk for negative biopsychosocial sequelae. Innovative and tailored treatments are needed to address potential disruptions in maternal functioning. Third-wave cognitive–behavioral approaches, including acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), hold promise for optimizing functioning given the focus on values-based living, rather than symptom reduction. Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to describe the development of an innovative psychotherapy group for women with symptoms of PMADs. Methods: This seven-session group, Motherhood and Me (Mom-Me), includes selected skills training from ACT, DBT, and Emotion-Centered Problem-Solving Therapy. Results: Mom-Me group sessions are described, and an outline of key information (session goals, content, and homework assignments) is provided to facilitate practical implementation. Conclusion: In line with third-wave approaches, this group was developed to enhance maternal functioning, which, in turn, may help women cope with psychological distress during the transition to motherhood.

Abstract:
Theories suggest curricular tracking is linked to racial/ethnic inequality. However, prior studies largely examine cognitive outcomes like standardized test scores and neglect behavioral outcomes. They also overlook potential racial/ethnic differences within curricular tracks. This study asks the following questions: (a) Is curricular tracking associated with young women’s social and behavioral outcomes during the transition to adulthood (dropping out of high school, teen motherhood, and poverty)? and (b) Are there racial/ethnic differences in these associations? Using National Longitudinal Survey of Youth data and logistic regression, results show that all women reduce risks of negative outcomes in the college and vocational tracks compared with the general track. However, college track coursework buffers White women from dropping out and teen motherhood (but not poverty) significantly more than it does Black and Latina women. Thus, racial gaps are greatest within the college track rather than lower tracks, suggesting that the college track may be a site for opportunity hoarding among Whites.

Abstract:
Background and objective: Adolescence is generally understood as a period of growing to maturity, transition from childhood to adulthood with physical and mental maturity. Nowadays girls enter puberty as young as 9 years which pose a health risk to adolescent pregnancy and early motherhood. The purpose of this study was to explore and describe the experiences of adolescent mothers as regards motherhood in Oshana region.Methods: A qualitative, explorative, descriptive and contextual study was conducted among adolescent mothers in Oshana Region of Namibia regards their experiences on adolescent motherhood. Thematic analysis following Tesch’s analysis process was employed.Results: The findings of this study revealed that having a baby at a younger age have a negative effect on their future plans. It is an unfortunate fact that emerged from the study that many adolescent mothers lack the required form of support or social assistance both during pregnancy and in raising their children in the economically driven world of today. It is an unfortunate fact that emerged from the study that many adolescent mothers lack the required form of support or social assistance both during pregnancy and in raising their children in the economically driven world of today. It appeared that having a child gives an added impetus to their lives; and they felt that every decision or step they made would impact their babies’ lives in one way or another.Conclusions: It appeared that having a child gives an added impetus to their lives; and they felt that every decision or step they made would impact their babies’ lives in one way or another. They experienced distorted inter-personal relationships with families and friends related to motherhood as well as challenges on bringing up a baby and baby care. However adolescent mothers also had future ambitions on education, support, relationships and job attainment.

Abstract:
Women are at greater risk of exposure to interpersonal violence during pregnancy. The influence prenatal violence has on children’s behavioral adjustment is generally understood to stem from its impact on mothers, but there is a dearth of prospective research to test these models. The current study evaluated the influence of interpersonal violence during pregnancy on children’s behavioral adjustment in toddlerhood through the mother’s mental health and parenting in infancy. Data were drawn from a longitudinal study on the transition to motherhood ( N = 682). Mothers reported on their experiences of violence during pregnancy, depression at 6 months, and their children’s behavior at 24 months. Warm, responsive behavior was coded at 8 months. Prenatal experiences of violence predicted toddlers’ aggression/defiance toward mothers through maternal depressive symptoms and parenting in infancy. There were no effects on the toddlers’ aggression toward their peers. Interpersonal violence in pregnancy was linked to aggression/defiance toward mothers in early childhood via cascading negative effects on maternal depressive symptoms and parenting.

Abstract:
Perinatal mental health of the mother occupies a central position in healthcare, the same as caring for a newborn baby. Maternal depression is the lead pathology of postpartum period. Despite the high prevalence and importance to the overall development of children, most cases of depression are unappreciated, unrecognized and untreated. Inattention to issues which are related to physical and mental health of women, leads to severe negative social and economic consequences for society. Statistical comparison of the total number of pregnant women, the number of births in the United States in 2007, excluding cases of fetal loss, including still-births and miscarriages with similar Russian data allowed to calculate the approximate prevalence of postpartum depression in the same period. Presumable probability of postpartum depression is 15% in different regions of the world, and the diagnostic criteria of DSM-IV for postpartum depression are representative for comparison. Considering these assumptions, according to 2007 each year about 260,000 out of 1 mln. 600,000 of Russian women in childbirth may suffer from post-natal depression. The results have a probabilistic character. For the mothers the consequences of unrecognized and untreated depression after childbirth are the most frequent. It should be seen as a depressive episode or recurrent depressive disorder which has a singular coloring due to the appearance in the peak period of reproductive age of women. Postpartum depression may increase the possibility of occurrence of relapse of a depressive disorder as well as the transition to a state of chronic depression. Alcoholism or drug use is a common complication of depression; the risk of suicide increases, especially during the time of reducing the severity of the most severe symptoms of depression, though it is below the prevalence of suicide among the population. Particular attention should be paid to such symptoms as instability in mood and irritability as during the postpartum depression and in its residual period. They can cause child abuse. This paper also presents current data on the epidemiology, etiology, risk factors for postpartum depression, its clinical manifestations, the influence of untreated maternal depression on child development, therapy and educational modules to spread multidisciplinary and inter-agency approach in perinatal mental health problems.

Abstract:
Introduzione. La transizione alla maternità è un momento nella vita della donna molto importante ed è una crisi evolutiva, che nella maggior parte dei casi ha un esito positivo. In alcuni casi la maternità può essere influenzata negativamente dall’insorgere nella donna di disagi psichici (Milgrom et al., 2001). Uno dei disagi della maternità è la depressione post-partum, che si manifesta con un’incidenza all’incirca del 13%, ha un eziologia multifattoriale e ha ricadute sulla salute e acquisizione del ruolo di madre, sull’instaurarsi della relazione madre/bambino, sulla regolazione emotiva diadica e sul rapporto con il partner (Karney & Bradbury, 1995; O’Hara & McCabe, 2013; Pearson et al., 2013). La depressione post-partum è spesso associata con sintomi depressivi durante la gravidanza e questa continuità predice conseguenze peggiori sulla salute psichica della madre (Grigoriadis et al., 2013). Inoltre anche l’ansia si può presentare in comorbidità con i sintomi depressivi sia in gravidanza sia nel post-partum, l’incidenza è più alta in gravidanza, 18-25%, e decresce dopo il parto fino al 4,7% (Figueiredo & Conde, 2011 Sherry et al., 2014). L’ansia perinatale influenza negativamente gli scambi interattivi della diade madre bambino, queste madri sono più intrusive e i loro figli mostrano: pianto eccessivo, temperamento difficile e meno stati affettivi condivisi (Austin et al., 2008; Feldman, 2007; Reck et al., 2012). Un altro stato di disagio psichico è lo stress parentale che si può presentare nella transizione alla genitorialità (Abidin, 1990), ma non ci sono studi su questo stato in relazione con la depressione post-partum e/o l’ansia. Obiettivi. Il presente lavoro è suddiviso in tre ricerche che hanno lo scopo di indagare l’incidenza della depressione post-partum, le variabili che predicono maggiormente la depressione post-partum, la relazione fra ansia patologica depressione post-partum e stress parentale e come queste variabili influenzino gli stili interattivi e la regolazione emotiva della diade. Metodo. Le donne che hanno partecipato alle differenti ricerche sono state contattate presso l’ASL 2 di Savona fra la gravidanza e i primi mesi di post-partum. In tutte le ricerche la depressione è stata indagata con l’EPDS (Cox et al., 1987), l’ansia con lo STAI-Y (Spielberger, 1983), lo stress parentale con il PSI (Abidin, 1987), la percezione del rapporto di coppia con il DAS (Spanier, 1976), gli stili interattivi con il sistema di codifica video CARE-INDEX (Crittenden, 1994) e la regolazione emotiva diadica con il sistema di codifica video ICEP (Weinberg & Tronick, 1999; Riva Crugnola et al., 2013). Risultati. Le tre ricerche mettono in luce diversi risultati, fra cui come l’ansia in gravidanza sia un fattore predittivo della depressione post-partum e come durante la transizione alla maternità l’aumentare dei fattori di rischio psicosociali sia associato a una maggiore depressione post-partum. Le ricerche sottolineano la stretta relazione fra depressione post-partum, stress parentale e ansia perinatale e come quest’ultima influenzi maggiormente gli stili di regolazione emotiva diadici meno adeguati. Infine la depressione post-partum influenza la percezione della donna della qualità del rapporto di coppia e predice stili interattivi disfunzionale della madre e del bambino. Conclusioni. I seguenti studi mettono in evidenza la necessità di effettuare screening preventivi e mettere in atto interventi mirati a aiutare e a promuovere il benessere delle madri.
Background. The transition to the motherhood is a important moment in woman life and it is also a developmental crisis, in most cases this transition has a positive outcome. Motherhood in some cases is negatively influenced by woman mental illness (Milgrom et al., 2001). Post-partum depression is one of these perinatal mental illness and its incidence is 13%, it has a multifactorial etiology and it influence the woman well-being, the mother-child relationship, the dyadic emotional regulation and the relationship with partner (Karney & Bradbury, 1995; O’Hara & McCabe, 2013; Pearson et al., 2013). Postpartum depression often is associated with depressive symptoms during pregnancy and this predict worse consequences on the mother's psychological well-being (Grigoriadis et al., 2013). The perinatal anxiety often occurs in comorbidity with depressive symptoms both in pregnancy and in the postpartum, the incidence of anxiety is higher in pregnant between 18% and 25% than in the post-partum period 4.7% (Figueiredo & Conde, 2011 Sherry et al., 2014). The perinatal anxiety has negative influence on mother-infant relationship, these mothers are more intrusive and their children have excessive crying, difficult temperament and less shared positive states (Austin et al., 2008; Feldman, 2007; Reck et al., 2012). Another perinatal mental distress is parenting stress that may occur in the transition to parenthood (Abidin, 1990), but there are few studies on the relationship of parenting stress, post-partum depression and anxiety. Aims. This paper is divided in three studies investigating different themes, like: the incidence of postpartum depression, the variables who predict postpartum depression, the relationship between anxiety postpartum depression and parenting stress and how these variables influence the relationship styles and emotional regulation of the mother-child dyad. Methods. The women who participated in the research were contacted in ASL2 of Savona between pregnancy and first months of post-partum. In all three studies post-partum depression has been investigated with EPDS (Cox et al., 1987), anxiety with STAI-Y (Spielberger, 1983), parenting stress wih PSI (Abidin, 1987), dyadic adjustment with partner with DAS (Spanier, 1976), the relationship styles with the video coding system CARE INDEX (Crittenden, 1994) and the emotional regulation of the mother-child with the video coding system ICEP (Weinberg & Tronick, 1999; Riva Crugnola et al., 2013). Results. The three studies underline different results, like: anxiety during pregnancy is predictor of post-partum depression; mothers who have a lot of psychosocial risk factors have more probability to develop depressive symptoms in pregnancy and in the post-partum period; the effect of this risk factors is pejorative in depression symptomatology in the transition to the motherhood; maternal depression, anxiety and parenting stress are associated, anxiety is a grater predictor than depression of less adequate styles of mother-infant emotion regulation; post-partum depression affects the dyadic adjustment with partner and dysfunctional relationship styles of mother-child dyad. Conclusions. The results of these studies highlight the importance of doing early screening and well-timed and preventive intervention programs to help the mother wellbeing.

Abstract:
This thesis explores the relationship between antenatal education and the transition to motherhood, focusing on the pre-natal expectations and postnatal experiences of a small sample of first-time mothers in Plymouth. The aims of the study were 1) to investigate the style and content of statutory and voluntary sector antenatal classes in the Plymouth area. 2) To investigate factors affecting non-attendance, including non-attenders' perceptions of them. 3) To examine the role of lay systems of knowledge and support in the transition to motherhood and 4) to investigate the differential impact of different patterns of knowledge and support on the experiences of new parents, with particular attention to the three key areas of maternal wellbeing, parenting skills and parental relationships. A combination of qualitative and quantitative methods was used to obtain relevant data. The findings suggested that antenatal classes in both sectors focused mainly on labour and birth. Coverage of infant care skills and other important postnatal issues like parental relationships and maternal wellbeing were virtually non-existent. The style of antenatal classes was perceived as overly-prescriptive and directive. Information about labour and birth often duplicated what women already knew. The greatest benefit of attending classes was social, rather than informational. Many women found the classes did not provide them with realistic expectations of new motherhood. Non-attenders were found not to be disadvantaged by not attending classes, despite the common concerns of health professionals. Instead, they drew extensively on lay information and support. In light of these fmdings, it is argued that formal antenatal classes should have a broader curriculum that is also realistic. This study is implicitly critical of the biomedical framework in which maternity services are couched. It contributes to the field by broadening the definition of antenatal education to include informal and lay sources, engaging with users' (rather than just providers') views, to help evaluate antenatal education services. Importantly, it does this by evaluating them in the context of new motherhood.

Species relationships of the endemic Elaphoglossum, and the extent and distribution of population genetic diversity were investigated using allozyme analysis in chapter five. As well as supporting the relationships of the taxa in the molecular phylogeny, the allozyme data suggest a hybrid origin of E. dimorphum between E. nervosum and E. bfurcatum. In addition the allozyme data revealed significant genetic differentiation in populations of E. nervosum and E. bfurcatum which should be taken into consideration in any future conservation programme. To conclude, Chapter 5 is a general discussion on the evolution and conservation of island plants, highlighting my research findings from St Helena and comparing it to other studies.

Abstract:
The ways in which women experience and narrate their journeys into first time motherhood is explored through a focus on narrative construction and reconstruction. The unique positioning of childbearing - at the interface between the biological and the social - both shapes expectations and renders experiences which do not conform to idealised notions of motherhood, diflicult to voice. The 17 participants in this study were all white, working women, who were expecting their first child. In depth interviews were carried out on three separate occassions, both antenatally and postnataily, over approximately a year. The longitudinal dimensions of the study enabled narrative trajectories to be collected and strategic construction and presentation of narratives to be explored. The movement in and out of the worlds of work and home was found to provide different reference points from which to make sense of, and narrate, a shifting sense of self. Narrative has not previously been used to explore women's experiences of transition to first time motherhood. Gathering women's narratives over time enabled different subjectivities to be explored and narrative layers to be discerned. The shifts made visible by this approach revealed the ways in which transition to motherhood is socially constructed and experienced within the context of differing professional and personal time frames. Within these competing time frames epistemological and ontological shifts take place. Eventually, epistemological and ontological security led women to challenge assumptions around mothering with which they may have previously collaborated. Feeling able to cope led to the voicing, retrospectively, of past difficult experiences. Narratives were reconstructed and professional constructions of 'normal' transition to motherhood, questioned. The research suggests that needs can remain unvoiced in a context where diverse mothering experiences are unjformly measured. The implications of the research for policy and practise, which is based on normative preoccupations, is considered.

Abstract:
This qualitative study explored the period of transition around having a child, during which women develop an identity as a mother within the wider context of a relational matrix. A comprehensive review of the literature highlighted the need to consider a view of self that is not unified or rational. The literature also emphasised the need to maintain mothers in a relational context. Stern's (1998) Motherhood Constellation was focused on to provide a framework for considering identity change with regard to relational aspects involving both the social world and intrapsychic phenomena. This study investigated the experiences of 6 first time mothers who, when approached by their Health Visitor about taking part, volunteered in order to share their experiences of becoming a competent mother with other women. A narrative approach based on Hollway and Jefferson's (2000) free association narrative interview technique was used to look at the way the women narrated their experiences, attending to intra-psychic phenomena within a sociocultural context. The main findings of the study were that the women narrated their experiences of change in terms of continuity and discontinuity of self and relationships, involving conscious and unconscious processes. This occurred within the wider context of a relational matrix featuring intimate relationships and others in the social world. This both pre-dated this period of transition and was anticipated to extend into the future. Implications for clinical practice and future research are explored and quality issues are appropriately discussed.

Abstract:
Becoming a mother derails many women’s chances for career progression. One reason for this is that women leave organisations when they become mothers, or reduce their working hours. Another reason is that people within the organisation start to view them as less career-orientated as a result of being mothers. At the core of this issue is that who a woman is – her identity – is being redefined in the transition to motherhood, by herself and by those around her. But, little is known about how her professional identity develops during the transition to motherhood, or whether its development is related to her growing maternal identity. This paper, therefore, presents a systematic review of the literature concerning changes in maternal and professional identities, as well as the relationship between them. Based on the evidence, this review concludes that although the development of maternal identity has been well documented in the literature, little is known about how a woman’s professional identity develops, as she becomes a mother. Suggestions for further research and practice are discussed.

Abstract:
Paragraph (a)(4) of the Maintenance Rule (re 10CFR§50.65) states that before performing maintenance activities, the licensees shall assess and manage the increase in risk that may result from the maintenance activities. The rule is explicitly applicable to all operating modes. Currently, most plants use a qualitative tool for assessing and controlling the risk of the various plant conditions during an outage. Fewer plants have any means of performing a quantitative or qualitative assessment of the associated risks of transitioning the plant in each configuration from power to “cold shutdown.” Typically, only the end-state of shutdown is considered. The transition-period includes short-duration configurations when the available set of equipment is not what it was during power operations, e.g., having only one main feedwater train in-service. Given the concern that the NRC may require quantitative risk assessments of plant transitions and plant configurations during shutdown operations, Omaha Public Power District (OPPD) pro-actively authorized Westinghouse Engineering Services to develop a method for assessing risk associated with a transition from all power to shutdown and back to full power. An outage schedule is highly plant specific, with plant-to-plant and outage-to-outage variations in system configurations, and maintenance practices. Accordingly, the duration of the transition largely depends on equipment maintenance activities driving the decision to shutdown and repair. The time spent in various parts of the transition is a strong determinant in the associated risk of the transition. A transition takes the plant through a series of Plant Operational States (POSs). The features important to the characterization of each of the POSs include decay-heat level, plant activities involved, available equipment, as well as RCS temperature and pressure. The risk of the entire transition comes from calculating a figure-of-merit of each POS which can be loosely thought of as a per-hour core-damage frequency (CDF). This number gets multiplied by the associated duration of the POS. The sum is the transition risk. The effective CDF associated with the transition comes from dividing the POS-specific CDF sum by the total transition time, and converting that result to an annual frequency. Our paper describes decomposing OPPD operating procedures into periods for which we quantified sequences. In particular, the method considers the dominant shutdown failure modes: loss of shutdown cooling, loss of inventory, and loss of offsite power (including both plant centered and grid-related events). The transition example presented herein covers a simple shutdown and restart stemming from an indeterminate-quality problem. That is, all equipment is functional and available to the plant operators.

Full text
Abstract:
Under the auspices of the Standards Developing Organizations (SDOs), the nuclear industry is currently in the process of developing standards for Probabilistic Risk Assessments (PRAs) to support risk-informed applications of nuclear power plants, including PRA standards for Low Power and Shutdown (LP/SD) operations. A particularly challenging part of building a LP/SD PRA model is the definition of quasi-steady Plant Operating States (POSs). This document provides guidance for developing the POSs needed for the creation and use of a LP/SD risk model based on a standard set of 15 generally applicable POSs. NUREG/CR-6144, prepared by the Brookhaven National Laboratory for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) (for the Surry plant), was used as a foundation to build the set of standard set of 15 POSs presented here. Within these standard POSs, there is room for modification for plant- and application-specific purposes such as the specific LP/SD risk application of transition risk analysis. Specifically, modifications are accomplished by subdividing POSs. Another particularly challenging part of building a LP/SD PRA model is defining and modeling periods of transition which for the suggested guidance, are defined as risk-significant activities between quasi-steady POSs which involve significant configuration changes. This guidance provides support for developing the models needed for the evaluation of the risk associated with plant transitions occurring in the process of the plant shutdown and startup. Specifically, guidance is provided to lead a PRA modeler through the identification and characterization of the transitions and the selection and generation of appropriate transition PRA modeling elements and data. The transition modeling guidelines are applicable for procedure-based transitions (as opposed to physical-phenomenon-type transitions such as the drop in decay heat level) occurring during LP/SD operations. The guidance presented is intended to be applicable for all Light-Water Reactors (LWRs). The detailed guidance processes described are currently focused on Pressurized-Water Reactors (PWRs).

Abstract:
Abstract The energy transition from fossil fuels to renewable or cleaner energy sources is upon us. There is also a global focus on reducing atmospheric carbon dioxide emissions. Several major companies are placing an emphasis on solutions such as hydrogen and carbon capture and sequestration or reuse. While this will provide new business opportunities for the pipeline industry, there are inherent risks, especially as they are scaled up to meet societal demand. Therefore, there is a need to assess the potential for harm to people and the environment. Hydrogen is a flammable gas with the potential for both fire and explosion. Carbon dioxide is an asphyxiant at high concentrations and can dissolve in water, having unintended environmental effects. Traditional oil dispersion models have been used by the oil and gas sector and pipeline industry for decades to investigate overland, downstream, and in water movement, behavior, and potential effects of hypothetical and real-world releases. Atmospheric dispersion models have been used to assess vapor transport, resulting potential impacts (e.g., asphyxiation and or toxic effects) to humans and the environment, and risk of fire and explosion. Based upon our experience with the current regulatory environment, the scrutiny placed upon operators by regulators and intervenors (especially with other products such as oil), and the large amount of time required to plan, permit, construct, and operate pipelines, we believe these comprehensive and quantitative assessments will be at the forefront of decision making. The use and potential adaptation of these existing modeling tools will be crucial in assessing risk from transport, storage, and use to ensure safety of each project through all phases of its life cycle (e.g., prior to permitting, construction, operation, and decommissioning) during this energy transition.

Abstract:
Water supply schemes in refugee settlements in Uganda are being transitioned from management by humanitarian actors to management by national and regional utilities in an effort to improve their long-term sustainability. Research with refugee and host communities has demonstrated the need to strengthen the transition process. The transition in its current form could risk increasing inequality and pushing water services out of reach for an already vulnerable population. This summary report examines how WASH agencies and stakeholders playing a supporting role in the utility transition can make the transition more equitable, participatory and effective.

Abstract:
Climate mitigation scenarios are an essential tool for analyzing the macroeconomic and financial implications of climate change (physical risk), and how the transition to a low-carbon economy could unfold (transition risk). The Network for Greening the Financial System (NGFS) has co-developed a set of climate mitigation scenarios for climate financial risk assessment. Despite the important role that these scenarios play in climate stress tests, the understanding of their main characteristics and limitations is still poor. In this paper, we contribute to filling this gap by focusing on the following issues: comparison of the process-based Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs) used by the NGFS with alternative models; the role of Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs) and Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs) in shaping the scenario narratives, and their shortcomings; the interpretation and sensitivities of carbon price pathways; and, comparison with other climate mitigation scenarios. We then draw lessons on how to increase the relevance of the NGFS scenarios. These include updating the SSP narratives; considering the potential trade-offs between different types of climate policies; assessing acute physical risks and their compounding; integrating physical risks within transition scenarios; and, taking into account the role of the financial sector and investors’ expectations.
