“…However, the reduced core confinement predicted in the GENE-QLNN simulations as they stand may also lead to a reduced pedestal height, due to a lower total plasma b. 64 While recent EPED scans in the ITER baseline regime have shown small variation of the pedestal height with plasma-b, 66 10. The QuaLiKiz time trace has continuous jitter due to inherent fluctuations in the gradient-flux relationship over time, due to QuaLiKiz mode convergence issues, i.e., strong sensitivity to input parameters of converging/not-converging to eigenvalue solutions near instability thresholds.…”

Fast transport simulations with higher-fidelity surrogate models for ITER

A fast and accurate turbulence transport model based on quasilinear gyrokinetics is developed. The model consists of a set of neural networks trained on a bespoke quasilinear GENE dataset, with a saturation rule calibrated to dedicated nonlinear simulations. The resultant neural network is approximately eight orders of magnitude faster than the original GENE quasilinear calculations. ITER predictions with the new model project a fusion gain in line with ITER targets. While the dataset is currently limited to the ITER baseline regime, this approach illustrates a pathway to develop reduced-order turbulence models both faster and more accurate than the current state-of-the-art.

“…Around 30% of children detained in a secure children's home presented with language difficulties, and at least 60% of young people accessing youth justice services have speech, language and communication difficulties (Bryan et al, 2015). Young offenders may disproportionately present with Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) and struggle with the demands of communication within the context of the criminal justice system (Sowerbutts et al, 2021;Holland et al, 2023). Young offenders in the custodial setting with autism may have difficulties with communication (Paterson, 2007).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to find out what role intermediaries have in facilitating communication with victims and prisoners at Parole Board (PB) oral hearings. Design/methodology/approach A survey was designed and administered to 39 PB members to find out their perceptions of, and experiences with, the use of intermediaries. Frequency tables and verbatim quotations are used to report the results. Findings Overall, participants had not experienced any use of intermediaries with victims or family members presenting victim personal statements at an oral hearing. Further, there had been limited use of intermediaries for prisoners attending oral hearings. Nevertheless, there was a good recognition of a range of communication needs that a prisoner might present with at a hearing. There was also general support for the use of intermediaries with some caution about possible delays to procedural fairness. Practical implications The early identification of communication support needs for prisoners and victims attending an oral hearing is essential. The PB should raise awareness with the PB Membership about the role of intermediaries. The PB should continue to develop guidance and policy surrounding intermediaries. Prison lawyers and HM Prison and Probation Service may require specialist training in identifying communication needs in vulnerable prisoners and identifying when a communication specialist might be required for an oral hearing. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first published paper examining the role of intermediaries at PB oral hearings. It builds on the evidence base of the use of intermediaries in other criminal justice contexts.

Purpose: The purpose of this clinical focus article is to provide a framework for speech-language pathologists (SLPs) supporting youth and adults in the criminal justice system (CJS) who have cognitive-communication disorders (CCDs) related to neurodisability. Method: We provide an overview of communication disorders and CCDs in the CJS as well as the underlying etiologies leading to neurodisability, with a primary focus on traumatic brain injury. Additionally, we provide a framework for understanding the underlying factors that contribute to criminalization and recidivism as well as elucidate the role of SLPs in the context of the CJS. Results: SLPs have an important role to play with youth and adults in the CJS and should be routinely involved in the screening of communication disorders; in the provision of assessments, intervention, education, and training; and in advocacy roles. Conclusion: The high prevalence of CCDs in the CJS affords a unique and important role for SLPs to be active members of the interdisciplinary justice team, which, ultimately, may improve outcomes and reduce the cycle of recidivism.
