    Abstract
    Transitional care is an important process for professionals to consider, particularly as recent studies have shown how a mental health difficulty in adolescence will persist into adulthood. This indicates that a number of those seen in Child and Adolescent mental health services are likely to make the transition into Adult services. For professionals from both services, barriers can arise when supporting young people across service boundaries and recent studies have stated that the current practice of transitional care in mental health is deemed to be problematic. However at the time of conducting this study, there was a paucity of literature, therefore the aim of the study was to add to the existing knowledge. The study followed a Social Constructivist grounded theory (Charmaz, 2014) approach to explore the experience of stakeholders of the transition process. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with professionals, young people and parents. There were a total of eight interviews which were transcribed and analysed. The findings present the core category as Facing the transition, with three sub- categories: Changing status, Manoeuvring the boundaries and Reflections on the process. The tentative theory explains how facing the transition involves stakeholders adjusting to the changing status of the service user. This category triggers the service transition but also describes how societal perceptions about adulthood influence the expectations placed on young people. Manoeuvring the boundaries describes and explains service transition, identifying a range of barriers and strategies to overcome these. One of the most significant barriers was identified as cultural differences between the two services. The third category describes how stakeholders make sense of their experiences, and how these are managed within the therapeutic relationship.

      Transition from placement to first role

      Richards, Hazel; Richards, Hazel; Malomo, Michelle (Critical Publishing, 2022-04-15)
      This chapter explores transitions from the range of perspectives (education, health and care) involved in child and family support. The chapter: introduces you to theories of transition and identity formation; poses critical questions to enable you to reflect on your own transition(s); considers the unique experience of transitioning from student to first role during the pandemic and; suggests how you might support your own transition.

      Sustainable transition towards biomass-based cement Industry: A review

      Kusuma, Ravi Teja; Hiremath, Rahul B.; Rajesh, Pachimatla; Kumar, Bimlesh; Renukappa, Suresh (Elsevier, 2022-05-02)
      Cement manufacturing is a hard-to-abate industrial sector that accounts for 5 to 8% of global anthropogenic emissions. Approximately 80 to 90% of these emissions occur during limestone calcination and fuel combustion processes. Decarbonising these two emission and energy-intensive processes requires a sustained and regenerative supply of low-carbon resources. Unlike other renewables such as solar or wind, biomass is uniquely positioned to abate emissions from fuel combustion and process emissions by substituting clinker with biomass ash. Moreover, bioenergy with carbon capture utilisation or storage offsets the energy penalties and associated emissions due to the deployment of carbon-capturing technologies. The sustainable transition towards biomass-based industry involves multifaceted socio-technical conflicts across bioenergy and cement sectors. This review uncovers opportunities, challenges and interplay involved in the sustainable transition of the cement industry through the lens of circular bioeconomy and multi-level perspective. The review found that 20 to 30% of fossil fuels can be replaced with biofuels without significant capital investments. This can be further enhanced through pre-processing of biomass and process optimisation. Clinker substitution with biomass ash is reported to be in the range of 3 to 80%. To increase the uptake of biomass, key aspects of circular bioeconomy are good starting points for transition at an organisation level, but system-wide change demands policy interventions. The policy intervention points presented in this study will serve as focus areas for practitioners and policy makers.

      Macroscopic two-dimensional polariton condensates

      Ballarini, Dario; Caputo, Davide; Muñoz, Carlos Sánchez; De Giorgi, Milena; Dominici, Lorenzo; Szymańska, Marzena H.; West, Kenneth; Pfeiffer, Loren N.; Gigli, Giuseppe; Laussy, Fabrice; et al. (American Physical Society, 2017-05-26)
      We report a record-size, two-dimensional polariton condensate of a fraction of a millimeter radius free from the presence of an exciton reservoir. This macroscopically occupied state is formed by the ballistically expanding polariton flow that relaxes and condenses over a large area outside of the excitation spot. The density of this trap-free condensate is <1 polariton /μm2, reducing the phase noise induced by the interaction energy. Moreover, the backflow effect, recently predicted for the nonparabolic polariton dispersion, is observed here for the first time in the fast-expanding wave packet.
