RÉSUMÉ
The precise measurement of cosmic-ray antinuclei serves as an important means for identifying the nature of dark matter and other new astrophysical phenomena, and could be used with other cosmic-ray species to understand cosmic-ray production and propagation in the Galaxy. For instance, low-energy antideuterons would provide a "smoking gun" signature of dark matter annihilation or decay, essentially free of astrophysical background. Studies in recent years have emphasized that models for cosmic-ray antideuterons must be considered together with the abundant cosmic antiprotons and any potential observation of antihelium. Therefore, a second dedicated Antideuteron Workshop was organized at UCLA in March 2019, bringing together a community of theorists and experimentalists to review the status of current observations of cosmic-ray antinuclei, the theoretical work towards understanding these signatures, and the potential of upcoming measurements to illuminate ongoing controversies. This review aims to synthesize this recent work and present implications for the upcoming decade of antinuclei observations and searches. This includes discussion of a possible dark matter signature in the AMS-02 antiproton spectrum, the most recent limits from BESS Polar-II on the cosmic antideuteron flux, and reports of candidate antihelium events by AMS-02; recent collider and cosmic-ray measurements relevant for antinuclei production models; the state of cosmic-ray transport models in light of AMS-02 and Voyager data; and the prospects for upcoming experiments, such as GAPS. This provides a roadmap for progress on cosmic antinuclei signatures of dark matter in the coming years.
RÉSUMÉ
BACKGROUND: Caregivers play an essential role in maintaining home care for elderly people with dementia. However, it is difficult for caregivers to target their own needs as well as those of the person with neurocognitive disorders they support on a daily basis. Identifying the needed resources can also be difficult. In order to better assist caregivers in identifying resources needed to support their role, this study aims to understand the factors that influence their help-seeking process. METHODS: This qualitative and descriptive study focuses on the point of view of the main people affected by this problem: caregivers. Eleven caregivers of elderly people with dementia living at home were recruited by convenience sampling. Semi-structured interviews were conducted, and the data were analyzed according to Mast's typology. RESULTS: The factors influencing caregivers help-seeking process were categorized into five themes: 1) service-related (e.g. wait times); 2) personal (e.g. feeling intrusive); 3) experiential (e.g. positive use of a service); 4) relational (e.g. rejection of the elder), and 5) informational (e.g. directed to the right service). CONCLUSION: Caregivers face many challenges in their help-seeking process and want to be more proactively accompanied in a way adapted to their changing needs.
