TL;DR: A Schrödinger equation may be unitarily transformed into dynamical equations in different interaction pictures which describe a common physical process, i.e., the same underlying interactions and dynamics, to enable us to design alternative and feasible experimental routes for operations that are a priori difficult or impossible to perform.
Abstract: A Schr\"odinger equation may be unitarily transformed into dynamical equations in different interaction pictures which describe a common physical process, i.e., the same underlying interactions and dynamics. In contrast to this standard scenario, other relations are also possible, such as a common interaction-picture dynamical equation corresponding to several Schr\"odinger equations that represent different physical processes. This may enable us to design alternative and feasible experimental routes for operations that are a priori difficult or impossible to perform. The power of this concept is exemplified by engineering Hamiltonians that improve the performance or make realizable several shortcuts to adiabaticity.

TL;DR: The role of the microbiome as an important factor in modulating gut-brain signaling has emerged and the concept of a microbiota-gut-brain axis has been established as discussed by the authors, highlighting the role of this axis in modifying enteric and central nervous system function and how this may impact disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome and disorders of mood and affect.

TL;DR: First-time mothers’ husbands/partners need to become active participants in antenatal and postnatal care and interdisciplinary educational programmes need to be developed so that public health nurses and midwives work collaboratively in facilitating social support for first- time mothers in caring for their infants.
Abstract: Aim. This paper reports a study whose primary aim was to explore the relationship between social support for first-time mothers and their confidence in infant care practices. A secondary aim was to identify their sources of support in the postnatal period. Background. Policy documents emphasize the importance of support for new mothers in the postnatal period in caring for their infants. Nurses/midwives require a working knowledge of how social support influences maternal confidence in infant care practices, specifically during the first 6 weeks postdelivery. Methods. A descriptive, correlational design was used. A 28 item questionnaire was designed to measure social support in the specific context of first-time motherhood and confidence in infant care practices. Content validity was sought and the instrument demonstrated reliability using Cronbach's alpha. A convenience sample of 135 first-time mothers was recruited and 74% completed questionnaires at 6 weeks after birth. Data were collected in 2000. Results. Appraisal support had a statistically significant moderate relationship with confidence in infant care practices (r = 0·4, P < 0·01). Informational support had a weaker but statistically significant relationship (r = 0·2, P < 0·05). Respondents’ primary sources of appraisal support were husbands/partners and their own mothers. Public health nurses and mothers were primary sources of informational support. Conclusions. First-time mothers’ husbands/partners need to become active participants in antenatal and postnatal care. Interdisciplinary educational programmes need to be developed so that public health nurses and midwives work collaboratively in facilitating social support for first-time mothers in caring for their infants. Curricula for public health nurses and midwives need to be evidenced-based with respect to social support.

TL;DR: The realm of psychological assessment in South Africa has undergone significant changes since the demise of apartheid, and global developments within psychometric test development are constantly undergoing revision and renewal, which can be found in the work of.
Abstract: The realm of psychological assessment in South Africa has undergone significant changes since the demise of apartheid. In addition to the changing socio-political arena in South Africa, global developments within psychometric test development are constantly undergoing revision and renewal.
