“Contemporary standard” English policy and pseudo‐diversity among inner and outer circle assistant language teachers in Japan

open access: yesInternational Journal of Applied Linguistics, Volume 33, Issue 2, Page 260-274, July 2023., 2023
Abstract Assistant language teachers (ALTs) in the Japan Exchange and Teaching (JET) program are composed of 90% of Inner Circle ALTs and 10% of rigorously screened Outer Circle JET ALTs, who are hired under the Education Ministry's “contemporary standard” (i.e., American) English policy.

Development and validation of a goal attainment scale for families affected by maternal substance use

open access: yesInfant Mental Health Journal: Infancy and Early Childhood, Volume 43, Issue 6, Page 899-909, November 2022., 2022
Abstract The Team for Infants Exposed to Substance use (TIES) Program is a longstanding home‐based family support program that provides a multidisciplinary, community‐facing model to address the complex needs of families with young children affected by maternal substance use.

Supporting early infant relationships and reducing maternal distress with the Newborn Behavioral Observations: A randomized controlled effectiveness trial

open access: yesInfant Mental Health Journal: Infancy and Early Childhood, Volume 43, Issue 3, Page 455-473, May 2022., 2022
Abstract Research points to the significant impact of maternal distress on the parent‐infant relationship and infant development. The Newborn Behavioral Observations (NBO) is a brief intervention supporting the infant, the parent and their relationship.

Evaluation of the effects of chlorhexidine digluconate with and without cBD103 or cCath against multidrug‐resistant clinical isolates of Staphylococcus pseudintermedius

open access: yesVeterinary Dermatology, Volume 33, Issue 1, Page 17-e6, February 2022., 2022
Background – Because of the increased incidence of multidrug‐resistant (MDR) bacteria, the use of disinfectants over antibiotics has been encouraged. However, the interactions between disinfectants and host local immunity are poorly understood. Objective – To assess the effects of chlorhexidine digluconate (Chx), with and without selected host defence ...

Reproducibility of serum testing for environmental allergen‐specific IgE in dogs in Europe

open access: yesVeterinary Dermatology, Volume 32, Issue 3, Page 251-e67, June 2021., 2021
Background – Serum testing for allergen‐specific immunoglobulin (Ig)E is commonly employed to identify allergens used for allergen‐specific immunotherapy in dogs, yet the reliability of results has been a matter of debate. Objective – The aim of this study was to evaluate the reproducibility of serum tests for environmental allergen‐specific IgE in ...

On capacity and torsional rigidity

open access: yesBulletin of the London Mathematical Society, Volume 53, Issue 2, Page 347-359, April 2021., 2021
Abstract We investigate extremal properties of shape functionals which are products of Newtonian capacity cap(Ω¯), and powers of the torsional rigidity T(Ω), for an open set Ω⊂Rd with compact closure Ω¯, and prescribed Lebesgue measure. It is shown that if Ω is convex, then cap(Ω¯)Tq(Ω) is (i) bounded from above if and only if q⩾1, and (ii) bounded ...

Enhancing parental reflective functioning through early dyadic interventions: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

open access: yesInfant Mental Health Journal: Infancy and Early Childhood, Volume 42, Issue 1, Page 21-34, January/February 2021., 2021
ABSTRACT Parental reflective functioning (PRF) is an important predictor of infant attachment, and interventions that target parent–infant/toddler dyads who are experiencing significant problems have the potential to improve PRF. A range of dyadic interventions have been developed over the past two decades, some of which explicitly target PRF as part ...

Solving the maximum edge-weight clique problem in sparse graphs with compact formulations

open access: yesEURO Journal on Computational Optimization, 2015
This paper studies the behavior of compact formulations for solving the maximum edge-weight clique (MEWC) problem in sparse graphs. The MEWC problem has long been discussed in the literature, but mostly addressing complete graphs, with or without a ...

Optimal capacitated ring trees

open access: yesEURO Journal on Computational Optimization, 2016
We study a new network design model combining ring and tree structures under capacity constraints. The solution topology of this capacitated ring tree problem (CRTP) is based on ring trees which are the union of trees and 1-trees.
