A Representation of the Virasoro Algebra via Wigner-Heisenberg Algebraic Technique to Bosonic Systems
Using the Wigner-Heisenberg algebra for bosonic systems in connection with
oscillators we find a new representation for the Virasoro algebra.Comment: Revised version. Revtex, 7 pages, no figures. This work was presented

On Matrix Superpotential and Three-Component Normal Modes
We consider the supersymmetric quantum mechanics (SUSY QM) with three-
component normal modes for the Bogomol'nyi-Prasad-Sommerfield (BPS) states. An
explicit form of the SUSY QM matrix superpotential is presented and the
corresponding three-component bosonic zero-mode eigenfunction is investigated.Comment: 17 pages, no figure. Paper accepted for publication in Journal of

On the Temperley-Lieb reflection matrices
This work concerns the boundary integrability of the spin-s
Temperley-Lieb model. A systematic computation method is
used to constructed the solutions of the boundary Yang-Baxter equations. For
half-integer, a general free parameter solution is presented.
It turns that for integer, the general solution has free
parameters. Moreover, some particular solutions are discussed.Comment: LaTex 17 page
Living with conduct problem youth: Family functioning and parental perceptions of their child
Parenting children with conduct problems (CP) is challenging, yet very little is known about the impact of the child’s behaviour on family functioning or how parents of children with CP perceive their child. The aim of this research was to examine whether families with children with CP and high vs. low levels of callous–unemotional traits (HCU vs. LCU) experience differences in family functioning and parental perceptions. One hundred and one parents/caregivers of boys aged 11–16 [Typically developing (TD) n = 31; CP/HCU n = 35; CP/LCU n = 35] completed the McMaster Family Assessment Device, measuring multiple domains of family functioning. Parents/caregivers also completed a written statement describing their child, used for qualitative analysis. Families with CP/HCU children had poorer affective involvement than TD (p = 0.00; d = − 1.17) and CP/LCU (p = 0.03; d = − 0.62) families. Families with CP/HCU children showed significantly poorer general family functioning (p = 0.04; d = − 0.63) and more poorly defined family roles (p = 0.005; d = − 0.82) than families with TD children. Qualitative analyses indicated that parents/caregivers of CP/HCU children characterised them as having a dichotomous personality and being superficially charming. CP/LCU children were characterised as cheeky and endearing, with parents reporting good rapport. Families with CP/HCU children presented with specific difficulties in affective involvement and parents described challenges which were in line with the child’s specific presentation of lack of empathy and shallow affect. These findings may be used to help clinicians identify targets for family interventions
