Orbital ordering in La0.5_{0.5}Sr1.5_{1.5}MnO4_4 studied by model Hartree-Fock calculation

We have investigated orbital ordering in the half-doped manganite La$_{0.5}$Sr$_{1.5}$MnO$_4$, which displays spin, charge and orbital ordering, by means of unrestricted Hartree-Fock calculations on the multiband $p$-$d$ model. From recent experiment, it has become clear that La$_{0.5}$Sr$_{1.5}$MnO$_4$ exhibits a cross-type $(z^2-x^2/y^2-z^2)$ orbital ordering rather than the widely believed rod-type $(3x^2-r^2/3y^2-r^2)$ orbital ordering. The calculation reveals that cross-type $(z^2-x^2/y^2-z^2)$ orbital ordering results from an effect of in-plane distortion as well as from the relatively long out-of-plane Mn-O distance. For the "Mn$^{4+}$" site, it is shown that the elongation along the c-axis of the MnO$_6$ octahedra leads to an anisotropic charge distribution rather than the isotropic one.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figure

Military Children’s Difficulty with Reintegration after Deployment: A Relational Turbulence Model Perspective

This study drew on the relational turbulence model to investigate how the interpersonal dynamics of military couples predict parents’ reports of the reintegration difficulty of military children upon homecoming after deployment. Longitudinal data were collected from 118 military couples once per month for 3 consecutive months after reunion. Military couples reported on their depressive symptoms, characteristics of their romantic relationship, and the reintegration difficulty of their oldest child. Results of dyadic growth curve models indicated that the mean levels of parents’ depressive symptoms (H1), relationship uncertainty (H2), and interference from a partner (H3) were positively associated with parents’ reports of military children’s reintegration difficulty. These findings suggest that the relational turbulence model has utility for illuminating the reintegration difficulty of military children during the postdeployment transition

Training Paths to Improve Health and Livelihoods for Myanmar Pig Farmers

Evidence briefingThe Myanmar Pig Partnership piloted two approaches to farmer training in Yangon Region: one participatory, one more advisory. The work offers useful practical advice which can help inform further initiatives. It also highlights the limitations training interventions alone offer.Zoonoses and Emerging Livestock Systems (ZELS

Taking Myanmar’s AMR National Action Plan Forward

Pilot research findings from the Myanmar Pig Partnership show increasing antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in pig farming in Yangon Region, Myanmar. They highlight challenges in AMR awareness, antibiotic use and disease prevention relating to farmers, slaughterhouse workers, vets and others in the pig meat supply chain. Decision makers need to consider these challenges at all levels.Zoonoses and Emerging Livestock Systems (ZELS

Pig Meat and Food Safety in Myanmar: Evidence to Support Practice

Research findings reveal that disease-causing bacteria, including Salmonella, are widespread on pig farms of all sizes in Yangon Region, Myanmar, as well as in pig meat sold to consumers in the city and rural areas. This evidence provides a snapshot of how intensification in pig production can affect food safety – and points to potential responses.Zoonoses and Emerging Livestock Systems (ZELS
