Emotion regulation and PTSI
Treball Final de Grau en Psicologia. Codi: PS1048. Curs: 2018/2019.In this review, our aim was to study the relationship between emotion regulation and PTSD. For
this, the scientific literature was analyzed from the Scopus, PubMed and Web of Science
databases. Broadly speaking, a total of 100 related studies were obtained, however, after an
exhaustive selective process, 35 studies remained. After the review, a large number of studies
were obtained confirming the close relationship between the difficulties of emotional regulation
and the severity of PTSD symptoms, which is more complex than it appeared. At the same time,
it was seen how emotional regulation mediates the relationship between PTSD and problems
such as risky sexual behavior, alcohol consumption, trauma-cocaine association, eating disorders,
depressive symptoms and problems of social adjustment after trauma. Also the relationship with
alexithymia, negative affect, positive affect, more cognitive aspects (such as metacognition or the
own perception of emotional intelligence), the type of trauma, dissociative symptoms and
traumatic history. The influence of emotional regulation on the symptoms of PTSD is evidenced
even by alterations in certain psychophysiological parameters. Another remarkable result of this
review was the relationship between emotion regulation and the most severe form of PTSD, that
is complex PTSD. In some way, this review is validating the importance of the difficulties of
emotional regulation in PTSD and with it, the need to include sections to work these difficulties
in treatment programs and even their prevention in the school setting.En esta revisión, nuestro objetivo fue estudiar la relación que hay entre la regulación emocional
y el TEPT. Para ello, la literatura científica fue analizada desde las bases de datos Scopus, PubMed
y Web of Science. A grandes rasgos, se obtuvieron un total de 100 estudios relacionados, sin
embargo, tras un exhaustivo proceso selectivo, se quedaron en 35 estudios. Tras la revisión, se
obtuvieron gran cantidad de estudios que confirmaban la estrecha relación entre las dificultades
de regulación emocional y la severidad de los síntomas TEPT, siendo esta más compleja de lo que
parecía. Al mismo tiempo, se vio cómo la regulación emocional media la relación entre el TEPT y
problemáticas tales como conductas sexuales de riesgo, consumo de alcohol, asociación traumacocaína, trastornos alimentarios, síntomas depresivos y problemas de ajuste social tras el trauma.
También la relación con la alexitimia, el afecto negativo, el afecto positivo, aspectos más
cognitivos (como la metacognición o la propia percepción de la inteligencia emocional), el tipo de
trauma, síntomas disociativos y la historia traumática. La influencia de la regulación emocional en
los síntomas del TEPT se evidencia incluso mediante alteraciones en ciertos parámetros
psicofisiológicos. Otro resultado destacable de esta revisión fue la relación entre las dificultades
de regulación emocional y la forma más severa del TEPT, que es el TEPT complejo. De alguna
manera, esta revisión está validando la importancia de las dificultades de regulación emocional
en el TEPT y con ello, la necesidad de que se incluyan apartados para trabajar estas dificultades
en los programas de tratamiento e incluso su prevención en el entorno escolar
On the speed of Random Walks among Random Conductances
We consider random walk among random conductances where the conductance
environment is shift invariant and ergodic. We study which moment conditions of
the conductances guarantee speed zero of the random walk. We show that if there
exists \alpha>1 such that E[log^\alpha({\omega}_e)]<\infty, then the random
walk has speed zero. On the other hand, for each \alpha>1 we provide examples
of random walks with non-zero speed and random walks for which the limiting
speed does not exist that have E[log^\alpha({\omega}_e)]<\infty.Comment: 22 pages, 4 picture
Designing Auditory Feedback from Wearable Weightlifting Devices
While wearable devices for fitness have gained broad popularity, most are focused on tracking general activity types rather than correcting exercise forms, which is extremely important for weightlifters. We interviewed 7 frequent gym-goers about their opinions and expectations for feedback from wearable devices for weightlifting. We describe their desired feedback, and how their expectations and concerns could be balanced in future wearable fitness technologies
A central limit theorem for the effective conductance: Linear boundary data and small ellipticity contrasts
Given a resistor network on with nearest-neighbor conductances,
the effective conductance in a finite set with a given boundary condition is
the the minimum of the Dirichlet energy over functions with the prescribed
boundary values. For shift-ergodic conductances, linear (Dirichlet) boundary
conditions and square boxes, the effective conductance scaled by the volume of
the box converges to a deterministic limit as the box-size tends to infinity.
Here we prove that, for i.i.d. conductances with a small ellipticity contrast,
also a (non-degenerate) central limit theorem holds. The proof is based on the
corrector method and the Martingale Central Limit Theorem; a key integrability
condition is furnished by the Meyers estimate. More general domains, boundary
conditions and ellipticity contrasts will be addressed in a subsequent paper.Comment: 30 pages, 1 figure. Corrected a proof of a bound on triple gradient

Self-Supervised Vision-Based Detection of the Active Speaker as Support for Socially-Aware Language Acquisition
This paper presents a self-supervised method for visual detection of the
active speaker in a multi-person spoken interaction scenario. Active speaker
detection is a fundamental prerequisite for any artificial cognitive system
attempting to acquire language in social settings. The proposed method is
intended to complement the acoustic detection of the active speaker, thus
improving the system robustness in noisy conditions. The method can detect an
arbitrary number of possibly overlapping active speakers based exclusively on
visual information about their face. Furthermore, the method does not rely on
external annotations, thus complying with cognitive development. Instead, the
method uses information from the auditory modality to support learning in the
visual domain. This paper reports an extensive evaluation of the proposed
method using a large multi-person face-to-face interaction dataset. The results
show good performance in a speaker dependent setting. However, in a speaker
independent setting the proposed method yields a significantly lower
performance. We believe that the proposed method represents an essential
component of any artificial cognitive system or robotic platform engaging in
social interactions.Comment: 10 pages, IEEE Transactions on Cognitive and Developmental System
Large deviations for the local times of a random walk among random conductances
We derive an annealed large deviation principle for the normalised local
times of a continuous-time random walk among random conductances in a finite
domain in in the spirit of Donsker-Varadhan \cite{DV75}. We work in the
interesting case that the conductances may assume arbitrarily small values.
Thus, the underlying picture of the principle is a joint strategy of small
values of the conductances and large holding times of the walk. The speed and
the rate function of our principle are explicit in terms of the lower tails of
the conductance distribution. As an application, we identify the logarithmic
asymptotics of the lower tails of the principal eigenvalue of the randomly
perturbed negative Laplace operator in the domain.Comment: 12 page
