    Talking about personal recovery in bipolar disorder: Integrating health research, natural language processing, and corpus linguistics to analyse peer online support forum posts

    Get PDF
    Background: Personal recovery, ‘living a satisfying, hopeful and contributing lifeeven with the limitations caused by the illness’ (Anthony, 1993) is of particular value in bipolar disorder where symptoms often persist despite treatment. So far, personal recovery has only been studied in researcher-constructed environments (interviews, focus groups). Support forum posts can serve as a complementary naturalistic data source. Objective: The overarching aim of this thesis was to study personal recovery experiences that people living with bipolar disorder have shared in online support forums through integrating health research, NLP, and corpus linguistics in a mixed methods approach within a pragmatic research paradigm, while considering ethical issues and involving people with lived experience. Methods: This mixed-methods study analysed: 1) previous qualitative evidence on personal recovery in bipolar disorder from interviews and focus groups 2) who self-reports a bipolar disorder diagnosis on the online discussion platform Reddit 3) the relationship of mood and posting in mental health-specific Reddit forums (subreddits) 4) discussions of personal recovery in bipolar disorder subreddits. Results: A systematic review of qualitative evidence resulted in the first framework for personal recovery in bipolar disorder, POETIC (Purpose & meaning, Optimism & hope, Empowerment, Tensions, Identity, Connectedness). Mainly young or middle-aged US-based adults self-report a bipolar disorder diagnosis on Reddit. Of these, those experiencing more intense emotions appear to be more likely to post in mental health support subreddits. Their personal recovery-related discussions in bipolar disorder subreddits primarily focussed on three domains: Purpose & meaning (particularly reproductive decisions, work), Connectedness (romantic relationships, social support), Empowerment (self-management, personal responsibility). Support forum data highlighted personal recovery issues that exclusively or more frequently came up online compared to previous evidence from interviews and focus groups. Conclusion: This project is the first to analyse non-reactive data on personal recovery in bipolar disorder. Indicating the key areas that people focus on in personal recovery when posting freely and the language they use provides a helpful starting point for formal and informal carers to understand the concerns of people diagnosed with bipolar disorder and to consider how best to offer support

    Current issues of the management of socio-economic systems in terms of globalization challenges

    Get PDF
    The authors of the scientific monograph have come to the conclusion that the management of socio-economic systems in the terms of global challenges requires the use of mechanisms to ensure security, optimise the use of resource potential, increase competitiveness, and provide state support to economic entities. Basic research focuses on assessment of economic entities in the terms of global challenges, analysis of the financial system, migration flows, logistics and product exports, territorial development. The research results have been implemented in the different decision-making models in the context of global challenges, strategic planning, financial and food security, education management, information technology and innovation. The results of the study can be used in the developing of directions, programmes and strategies for sustainable development of economic entities and regions, increasing the competitiveness of products and services, decision-making at the level of ministries and agencies that regulate the processes of managing socio-economic systems. The results can also be used by students and young scientists in the educational process and conducting scientific research on the management of socio-economic systems in the terms of global challenges

    Computer Vision and Architectural History at Eye Level:Mixed Methods for Linking Research in the Humanities and in Information Technology

    Get PDF
    Information on the history of architecture is embedded in our daily surroundings, in vernacular and heritage buildings and in physical objects, photographs and plans. Historians study these tangible and intangible artefacts and the communities that built and used them. Thus valuableinsights are gained into the past and the present as they also provide a foundation for designing the future. Given that our understanding of the past is limited by the inadequate availability of data, the article demonstrates that advanced computer tools can help gain more and well-linked data from the past. Computer vision can make a decisive contribution to the identification of image content in historical photographs. This application is particularly interesting for architectural history, where visual sources play an essential role in understanding the built environment of the past, yet lack of reliable metadata often hinders the use of materials. The automated recognition contributes to making a variety of image sources usable forresearch.<br/

    The 9th volume of the series Acarorum Catalogus contains lists of mites of 13 families, 225 genera and 1268 species of the superfamilies Schizoglyphoidea, Histiostomatoidea, Canestrinioidea and Hemisarcoptoidea. Most of these mites live on insects or other animals (as parasites, phoretic or commensals), some inhabit rotten plant material, dung or fungi. Mites of the families Chetochelacaridae and Lophonotacaridae are specialised to live with Myriapods (Diplopoda). The peculiar aquatic or intertidal mites of the families Hyadesidae and Algophagidae are also included.Publishe

    Charakterystyka bioróżnorodności i potencjału biotechnologicznego mikroorganizmów halofilnych

    Celem przedstawionej pracy doktorskiej było scharakteryzowanie bioróżnorodności mikrobiomów wybranych środowisk o wysokim zasoleniu oraz ocena potencjału biotechnologicznego bytujących w nich mikroorganizmów w oparciu o dane genomiczne i metagenomiczne. Wygenerowane dane oraz przeprowadzone analizy pozwoliły na ocenę składu taksonomicznego mikrobiomu Kopalni Soli Bochnia oraz na identyfikację klastrów genów związanych z biosyntezą wtórnych metabolitów. Ponadto w analizowanych metagenomach zidentyfikowano 16 unikatowych MAGs, z których 15 nie ma swoich odpowiedników wśród dotychczas znanych sekwencji. W toku analiz zsekwencjonowano również genomy pięciu szczepów Eubakterii oraz trzech szczepów Archaea wyizolowanych z solanek pobranych na obszarze Przedgórza Karpackiego. Część z genomów należy najprawdopodobniej do nowych, nieopisanych dotychczas gatunków. W dalszej kolejności na podstawie danych metagenomicznych wytypowano trzy sekwencje, które potencjalnie mogły kodować peptydy przeciwdrobnoustrojowe. Zostały one zsyntezowane a ich właściwości zostały ocenione w warunkach laboratoryjnych. Wykazano, że peptyd P1 był aktywny przeciw E. faecalis 29212 a peptyd P3 przeciw E. faecalis 29212 i S. aureus 43300. Ponadto udowodniono, że oba analizowane peptydy nie mają właściwości cytotoksycznych ani nie wykazują aktywności hemolitycznej. Podsumowując, w toku prac scharakteryzowano mikrobiom Kopalni Soli Bochnia oraz genomy szczepów mikroorganizmów wyizolowanych z solanek pobranych na obszarze Przedgórza Karpackiego. Ponadto wykazano, że wybrane peptydy kodowane w analizowanych metagenomach wykazują aktywność przeciwdrobnoustrojową i mogą być obiektem dalszych badań mających na celu ocenę możliwości wykorzystania ich w praktyce."InterDOC-STARt – Interdyscyplinarne Studia Doktoranckie na Wydziale BiOŚ UŁ” - Program Operacyjny Wiedza Edukacja Rozwój 2014-2020, Oś priorytetowa III.
