University of Southern Denmark The Wildman Programme. A Nature-Based Rehabilitation Programme Enhancing Quality of Life for Men on Long-Term Sick Leave

Many men have poor mental health and need help to recover. However, designing a rehabilitation intervention that appeals to men is challenging. This study protocol aims to describe the ‘Wildman Programme’, which will be a nature-based rehabilitation programme for men on long-term sick leave due to health problems such as stress, anxiety, depression, post-cancer and chronic cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cardiovascular disease, or diabetes type II. The programme will be a nature-based rehabilitation initiative combining nature experiences, attention training, body awareness training, and supporting community spirit. The aim of the study will be to examine whether the ‘Wildman Programme’ can help to increase quality of life and reduce stress among men with health problems compared to treatment as usual. The study will be a matched control study where an intervention group (number of respondents, N = 52) participating in a 12-week nature-based intervention will be compared to a control group (N = 52) receiving treatment as usual. Outcomes are measured at baseline (T1), post-treatment (T2), and at follow up 6 months post-intervention (T3). The results of this study will be important to state whether the method in the ‘Wildman Programme’ can be implemented as a rehabilitation offer in the Danish Healthcare System to help men with different health problems.
Chemical Routes Toward Multicompartment Colloids

The search for mimicking natural living and non-living systems with synthetic products leads to the fabrication of advanced colloidal morphologies with hierarchical micro- and nanostructures. Different chemical routes toward the synthesis of colloids with complex morphologies are presented and a tentative analogy between these routes and the four basic arithmetic operations is proposed.
Rapid assessment of toxicity of chlorinated aqueous solution by dissolved oxygen depletion and optical density bioassays

Background: Chlorination of wastewater effluent with high levels of residual organic matter has been suspected to the production of toxic and hazardous disinfection by-products (DBPs) including trihalomethane (THM) compounds. Methods: In this study, two rapid techniques including dissolved oxygen depletion (DOD) and optical density (OD) bioassays were used to evaluate the chloroform toxicity of aqueous solution. The activated sludge was collected from aeration tank of a full-scale municipal wastewater treatment plant and used as a biological inoculum. In order to achieve an active and stabilized mixed culture of bacteria, the test cultures were transferred to a fresh nutrient broth culture media every day. The influence of chloroform on DOD and OD bioassays was examined at chloroform initial concentrations of 10-1000 μg/L. Results: It was revealed that the application of chloroform at concentrations of 100 and 1000 μg/L showed moderate and extreme toxicity, respectively, and reduced bacterial activity. The estimated chemical concentration with 50% inhibition of bacterial activity for DOD and OD bioassays was 457 and 961 μg/L, respectively. Conclusion: According to the results, the wastewater effluent should use bioassays in order to evaluate the effects of DBPs where the wastewater effluent is disinfected by chlorine compounds.
Optimists’ and pessimists’ self-reported mental and global health during the COVID-19 pandemic in Norway

BACKGROUND The COVID-19 pandemic represents a global health crisis. How well people cope with this situation depends on many factors, including one’s personality, such as dispositional optimism. The aim of the study was to investigate: 1) optimists’ and pessimists’ concerns during lockdown, and mental and global health; 2) whether pessimists without known risk factors more often than optimists report being at risk for COVID-19. PARTICIPANTS AND PROCEDURE A snowball sampling strategy was used; 4,527 people, 18 years or older, participated in a survey on a variety of mental health conditions and COVID-19 worries. In addition, they completed the Life Orientation Test-Revised (LOT-R). Optimism was defined by LOT-R f ≥ 17. RESULTS Fewer optimists than pessimists reported that they were worried about COVID-19, respectively 51.2% vs. 66.8%, p < . 001. Among those reporting none of the known somatic risk factors, more pessimists than optimists (14.3% vs. 9.1%, p < .001) considered themselves at risk of a fatal outcome from COVID-19. Significantly fewer optimists reported that they had anxiety (5.1%), depression (3.4%), suicidal ideation (0.7%) and insomnia (19.3%) during the COVID-19 outbreak than pessimists (24.7% anxiety, 18.4% depression, 5.4% suicidal ideation, 39.8% insomnia, all p < .001). Optimists reported better global health than pessimists (87.2 vs. 84.6, p < .001). CONCLUSIONS Optimists were generally less worried about the COVID-19 pandemic than pessimists and reported better mental and global health during lockdown. Pessimists more often than optimists reported being at risk for COVID-19 without reporting known risk factors.
Bringing Balance to the Force: Dynamic Analysis of the Android Application Framework

Android's application framework plays a crucial part in protecting users' private data and the system integrity. Consequently, it has been the target of various prior works that analyzed its security policy and enforcement. Those works uncovered different security problems, including incomplete documentation, permission re-delegation within the framework, and inconsistencies in access control. However, all but one of those prior works were based on static code analysis. Thus, their results provide a one-sided view that inherits the limitations and drawbacks of applying static analysis to the vast, complex code base of the application framework. Even more, the performances of different security applications---including malware classification and least-privileged apps---depend on those analysis results, but those applications are currently tarnished by imprecise and incomplete results as a consequence of this imbalanced analysis methodology. To complement and refine this methodology and consequently improve the applications that are dependent on it, we add dynamic analysis of the application framework to the current research landscape and demonstrate the necessity of this move for improving the quality of prior results and advancing the field. Applying our solution, called Dynamo, to four prominent use-cases from the literature and taking a synoptical view on the results, we verify but also refute and extend the existing results of prior static analysis solutions. From the manual investigation of the root causes of discrepancies between results, we draw new insights and expert knowledge that can be valuable in improving both static and dynamic testing of the application framework.
Identification of Nucleotide Patterns in Meconium Microbiota to Improve the Management of Meconium Aspiration Syndrome in Clinical Practice

For many years, airways, lungs and meconium, which is a thick green substance and accumulates in the baby’s intestines during pregnancy, have been assumed to be sterile. However, this assumption has been revised by the development of microbiota analysis, which is used for the identification of microorganisms as a new promising technique; it has been found that various microorganisms exist in the lungs and in the meconium fluid. Meconium Aspiration Syndrome (MAS) as a common neonatal problem can give rise to the development of lung infections in newborns and even cases leading to death are encountered. Various strategies regarding antibiotic therapy have been developed against the risk of infection, but positive outcome could not be obtained for each case. In this study, 16S rRNA gene sequences of bacteria existing in meconium microbiota and infected lung microbiota were subjected to comparative sequence analysis. Our aim was to identify positions of nucleotide patterns between the hypervariable regions of the bacterial 16S rRNA gene sequences that could provide similar functions among bacterial groups. Furthermore, similarity analysis was conducted to identify molecular signatures via phylogenetic framework to understand the etiology of the infections after MAS. Interestingly, Bifidobacteria which are used as probiotics were found to be similar to Actynomyces which are known as opportunistic pathogens. Furthermore, Clostridium leptum was associated with pulmonary inflammation for the first time. This study proposes the usage of microbiota analysis to improve the MAS management in clinical practice.
Synthesis of 1‐Hydroxymethylene‐1,1‐bis(phosphonic acids) from Acid Anhydrides: Preparation of a New Cyclic 1‐Acyloxymethylene‐1,1‐bis(phosphonic acid)

In continuing with our work to find new pathways to bis(phosphonate) structures we report on their synthesis from tris(trimethylsilyl) phosphite and acid anhydride. This new synthesis allows a direct access to a 1-hydroxymethylene-1,1-bis(phosphonic acid) functionalised by a carboxylic function on the side chain. Moreover, we describe the formation of an original cyclic bis(phosphonate) obtained from phthalic anhydride. (© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2004)

Graphene nanocluster decorated niobium oxide nanofibers for visible light photocatalytic applications

In this paper, we report a novel nanocomposite of graphene nanocluster decorated Nb2O5 nanofibers. With the structural modification, the photocatalytically active region of Nb2O5 has been significantly extended from the UV region to the UV-Vis region (from ∼380 nm to ∼800 nm in the adsorption edge); and hence, the visible light photocatalytic performance has been greatly improved. Detailed structural analysis revealed that the enhanced photocatalytic activity of the graphene nanocluster decorated Nb2O5 nanofibers could be mainly attributed to the modification of the bandgaps by the clusters and the unique orientation of graphene layers (nearly perpendicular to the Nb2O5/C interface, which is quite different from classical “core–shell” composites). We believe that the findings suggest a potential candidate for visible-light photocatalytic applications and would inspire further studies.
Molecular factors related to skeletal muscle atrophy in a mouse model
 of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is progressive neurological disease that results in the death of motor neurons in the brain and spinal cord, leading to a decrease in skeletal muscle size and muscle weakness, wasting, or paralysis. Most research on ALS has focused on motor neuron death, and the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. This study examined the molecular mechanisms underlying muscle degeneration. We compared the protein and cytokine profiles of gastrocnemius muscle in ALS model hSOD1 mice at pre-symptomatic and symptomatic stages by western blotting. Pro-inflammatory factors including tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-6, and cluster of differentiation 11b were upregulated in the muscle of symptomatic as compared to pre-symptomatic mice. Additionally, the levels of oxidative stress-related proteins, heme oxygenase-1 and ferritin, were increased in muscle from symptomatic as compared to pre-symptomatic mice. We also observed increased autophagy dysfunction and metabolic dysregulation in the muscles of symptomatic hSOD1 as compared to non-Tg and pre-symptomatic hSOD1 mice, which was accompanied by upregulation of thrombospondin-1, Prospero-related homeobox 1, glial fibrillary acidic protein, and DNA-damage-inducible 45α. Increased inflammation, oxidative stress, and autophagy contribute to motor neuron death and muscle atrophy in ALS, and the factors involved in these processes are potential therapeutic targets for treatment of this disease.
Miniaturization and Bandwidth Enhancement of Quarter-mode and Half-mode SIW Cavity-Backed Antenna for 5G Applications

Substrate Integrated Waveguide (SIW) is a special antenna technology which retains reduced copper surface waves and low dielectric loss property of classical rectangular waveguides. The antennas developed on SIW have simple configuration with an ease of fabrication in flame redundant wearable and integration in walls and floors. In this sense a Quarter-mode SIW (QMSIW) antenna has been designed, analyzed and its performance has been compared with Half-mode SIW. QMSIW has been precisely designed to operate efficiently in the range of 40 - 57 GHz. It aims at enhancing the bandwidth for 5G applications with a maximum return loss of -36 db at 55 GHz. HMSIW structure has Triple band resonant frequencies at 20.5 GHz, 24.7 GHz & 27 GHz with the return loss values of -34 db, -14 db & -32.5 db respectively. Both antennas operate in 20 – 72 GHz range of 5G applications.
Microreactor with mesoporous silica support layer for lipase catalyzed enantioselective transesterification

Lipase PS was immobilized in mesoporous silica (MPS) thin films inside a borosilicate tube microreactor for use in the enantioselective transesterification of vinyl acetate with (±)-1-phenylethanol. The immobilization was tested for 3D cubic and 2D hexagonal MPS thin films inside microreactors with and without hydrophobic treatment. The hydrophobic treatment enhanced the adsorption amount and the lipase activity for both 3D cubic and 2D hexagonal films. Of these treated films, the 3D cubic structure film exhibited the highest yield (64%) with an enantioselectivity higher than 99% in a continuous flow experiment. The activity of the immobilized lipase PS was well maintained for 36-hour continuous operation. A Ping-Pong Bi Bi kinetic model was employed to interpret the activity of the immobilized lipase PS. The ratios of the maximum velocity to the Ping-Pong constant (i.e., specificity constants) were measured for lipase PS immobilized inside the microreactor and for native lipase PS. The value inside the microreactor was 800 times greater than that of the native lipase PS.
Scaling digital screen reading with one-shot learning and re-identification

Using only a mobile phone app, our objective is to cheaply retro-fit digital meters (e.g blood pressure, blood glucose or industrial gauges) with ‘smart' data transfer capabilities. Using the mobile phone camera we build an app to securely and accurately transcribe information from digital meter screens. Only a single labelled training image of a target meter is required to build a custom screen reading module. Here we show how this can scale to potentially hundreds of different meters by learning to recognising the meter type so that the reading module can be automatically selected. This makes the system very easy for a user who would need to scan multiple different meter types. To this end, we build a CNN based system which runs in real-time on mobile device with very high read accuracy and meter recognition. Our contributions include (i) a method of one-shot training by synthesis through domain shift reduction, (ii) a deep embedding network for scale, translation and rotation invariant re-identification of digital meters, (iii) a highly accurate and efficient mobile phone app for recognising and parsing digital meter screens and (iv) release of a new digital meter re-identification dataset.
THE USE OF DISSOLVED AIR FLOTATION FOR RECYCLING WATER IN THE MINERAL PROCESS INDUSTRIES

The amount of water involved in mineral processing is, in most of cases, responsible for contaminants transportation, such as chemicals, oils, detergents, suspended solids. Therefore the large volume of wastewater from this process must be treated, before its discharge in the environment or reuse in the ore beneficiation plant. Dissolved air flotation (DAF) is a solid-liquid separation process based on the particle (or flocks) entrainment by microbubbles (10-100 µm) and can be used as an alternative to the mineral processing wastewater treatment. The optimization of different steps of the DAF process must be considered, as coagulation and flocculation, air bubble generation and design of dissolved air flotation cell to promote the best solid and organic compound removal efficiencies. Considering the disposal of the wastewater generated in mineral processes, the coarse fraction of particles will settle in the dam, but the fine fraction will still remain floating in the overflow, besides residual chemicals. Dissolved air flotation is an alternative technique that can be applied to adequate this overflow to be reused in the beneficiation plant (grinder, mill, cyclone, etc) or discharged in the environment. Therefore, this study aims to optimize the dissolved air flotation process to reduce suspended solids concentration, such as residual chemicals from the mineral processing beneficiation wastewater.

EXPLORING CREATIVITY THROUGH ARTISTS’ REFLECTIONS

The concept of creativity has been theorized and debated for millennia, dating back to the Greek philosopher Plato, who referred to “divine madness” in poets. Debates continue as to whether creativity is a gift or talent, a product of the genius gene, a side effect of mental health conditions, or if it is learned and nurtured through the environments and societies in which an individual grows and develops. While there is a wealth of research that sets out to define the concept of creativity, and numerous theoretical models have emerged since the early part of the 20th century, little of that involves artists reflecting on the concept. In order to explore this area, this study surveyed 314 artists from a range of countries, using an online survey, which invited them to reflect on creativity as a concept and how they understand it within their artistic practice. The findings reveal that creativity is a complex term and there is a range of understandings demonstrated by those who practice art-making. Questions for key stakeholders in education and policy are also raised, in terms of the role and place of artistic creativity in society.
Gene Pyramiding for Brown

The brown planthopper (BPH)-resistant rice, early maturity, and aromatic are expected by both farmers and consumers. The traits have been combined through gene pyramiding and some promising rice genotypes obtained. However the genetic control of BPH resistance and maturity is quantitatively inherited, it is therefore both molecular and phenotypic assessments would be tremendously helpful in selecting promising genotypes. The study aimed to obtain genotypes with such valuable traits. Rice lines were analyzed using molecular markers i.e., RM586, RM589, RM8213 (BPH resistant gene markers); RM7610 and RM19414 (early maturity markers), and IFAP (Internal Fragrant Antisense Primer) for detecting aromatic, and INSP (Internal Non-fragrant Sense Primer) for non-aromatic rice. Phenotypic assessment was performed for brown planthopper resistant-related traits, such as chlorophyll content, stomatal conductance, and trichome density. Other evaluations were heading date and aroma (using 1.7% KOH solution). Results showed that molecular markers for evaluating BPH resistance genes (Bph3, Bph4, Qbph4, and Bph17), aroma (fgr gene), and heading date (Hd2 and Hd3 genes) could differentiate genotypes, and they serve as perfect markers, except for heading date markers. Seven genotypes i.e., #2, #3, #4, #5, #6, #10, and #11 were related to all traits expected based on molecular marker analysis. Meanwhile, genotypes #1, #2, #4, #6, and #11 were similar to their parents based on phenotypic analysis. Pyramiding program based on molecular and phenotypic markers enables us to combine three valuable traits into one rice genotype as presented in this study.
Light Scattering Study of Chitosan in Acetic Acid Aqueous Solutions

Using intrinsic viscosity, static light scattering (SLS), and dynamic light scattering (DLS), we demonstrated that the particle sizes of chitosan molecules in dilute acetic acid/water solutions increased with decreasing pH values. SLS data also demonstrated that the second virial coefficient (A 2 ) increased with decreasing pH value suggesting that solubility of chitosan in water increased with increasing acetic acid concentration. Depolarization measurements showed that the depolarization ration (p v ) increased with decreasing pH value indicating the increase of anisotropy with decreasing pH value indicating the increase of anisotropy with increasing acetic acid concentration. Increasing the acetic acid concentration in chitosan aqueous solution caused an increase of the amount of -NH 3 + groups on chitosan molecules which led to an increase in intra-molecular electrostatic charge repulsion and chitosan chain expansion. Thus the molecular size, second virial coefficient A 2 , and depolarization ratio p v of chitosan increased with increasing acetic acid concentration.
PlanCurves: An Interface for End-Users to Visualise Multi-Agent Temporal Plans

In operational contexts, there is a growing need to make automatically generated plans available for assessment, veriﬁ-cation, and accountability purposes, in order to evaluate the risks associated with such plans prior to their execution. However, this task can be challenging, especially in situations where multiple agents are scheduled to interact and carry out activities over long periods of time. In this paper, we present PlanCurves, a web application for visualising multi-agent plans generated by temporal planners, to enhance end-user understanding and interpretation of these plans. We implement a familiar chart visualisation for temporal plans, in combination with a novel layout designed to provide a rapid overview of the plan while highlighting the relative similarities between agents. We describe how the approach is both planner and domain agnostic, and show potential applications of the visualisation interface using example domains from the International Planning Competition and domains with industrial applications.
