Advancing play participation for all: The challenge of addressing play diversity and inclusion in community parks and playgrounds

Introduction Outdoor parks and playgrounds are important sites of social inclusion in many urban communities. However, these playspaces are often inaccessible and unusable for many children with disabilities. This paper presents findings from a case study of one urban municipality in Ireland. The study aimed to understand play participation in five local playgrounds by exploring the perspectives of play providers and families with diverse abilities, through the lens of universal design. Methods Multiple qualitative methods were used, including playground audits, walk-and-talk observations, and semi-structured interviews. Four play providers, 12 children, and 10 adult users took part. Inductive analysis was conducted to understand the usability and accessibility of playgrounds from a universal design perspective. Findings These playgrounds provided high play value for younger children, but low play value for older children and those with disabilities, due to lack of accessibility or usability. While local authorities aimed to provide inclusive playgrounds, they lacked knowledge on universal design for playspaces. Conclusion Children with disabilities continue to experience exclusion in community playspaces, despite a commitment to inclusion in local authorities. Play providers need support to tailor principles of universal design to playground design. Occupational therapists are ideally situated to collaborate with local authorities on universal design for enhancing children’s play participation in community settings.
Immunoprofiling of Cell Wall Carbohydrate Modifications During Flooding-Induced Aerenchyma Formation in Fabaceae Roots

Understanding plant adaptation mechanisms to prolonged water immersion provides options for genetic modification of existing crops to create cultivars more tolerant of periodic flooding. An important advancement in understanding flooding adaptation would be to elucidate mechanisms, such as aerenchyma air-space formation induced by hypoxic conditions, consistent with prolonged immersion. Lysigenous aerenchyma formation occurs through programmed cell death (PCD), which may entail the chemical modification of polysaccharides in root tissue cell walls. We investigated if a relationship exists between modification of pectic polysaccharides through de-methyl esterification (DME) and the formation of root aerenchyma in select Fabaceae species. To test this hypothesis, we first characterized the progression of aerenchyma formation within the vascular stele of three different legumes—Pisum sativum, Cicer arietinum, and Phaseolus coccineus—through traditional light microscopy histological staining and scanning electron microscopy. We assessed alterations in stele morphology, cavity dimensions, and cell wall chemistry. Then we conducted an immunolabeling protocol to detect specific degrees of DME among species during a 48-hour flooding time series. Additionally, we performed an enzymatic pretreatment to remove select cell wall polymers prior to immunolabeling for DME pectins. We were able to determine that all species possessed similar aerenchyma formation mechanisms that begin with degradation of root vascular stele metaxylem cells. Immunolabeling results demonstrated DME occurs prior to aerenchyma formation and prepares vascular tissues for the beginning of cavity formation in flooded roots. Furthermore, enzymatic pretreatment demonstrated that removal of cellulose and select hemicellulosic carbohydrates unmasks additional antigen binding sites for DME pectin antibodies. These results suggest that additional carbohydrate modification may be required to permit DME and subsequent enzyme activity to form aerenchyma. By providing a greater understanding of cell wall pectin remodeling among legume species, we encourage further investigation into the mechanism of carbohydrate modifications during aerenchyma formation and possible avenues for flood-tolerance improvement of legume crops.
A subspace projection method for the implementation of interface conditions in a two–phase flow problem

We present a mesh moving method within a finite element context, where the interface conditions of the two–phase flow problem are conveniently included in suitable chosen subspaces of the general trial and testfunction spaces. A weak formulation of the two–phase flow problem including species transport is derived, where the problem specific function spaces are replaced by appropriate projections operating on standard function spaces. The transfer of the variational formulation to a finite element method is straightforward and results in one set of equations for both fluidic phases. This subspace projection method is applicable to a wide range of interfacial conditions for multiphase flow problems. The method is validated for single drop flow problems including species transfer. Furthermore, an application to the simulation of stagnant caps is presented.
Predictability from Market Timing-Sensitive Mutual Fund Flows

I extract mutual fund flows that respond to the active equity share change of mutual funds and show that they have significant predictability of market return. These “market timing-sensitive (MT-sensitive) flows” have predictability of the overall market over the next two to twelve months, without evidence of reversal. This predictability holds even when controlling for other macroeconomic variables and market sentiment index. I report that mutual fund managers who enjoy MT-sensitive inflows outperform the managers with MT-sensitive outflows over the next quarter. Also, I show that investors whose mutual fund investments mimic MT-sensitive flows have market timing ability, and outperform investors with mutual fund investments in the opposite direction to MT-sensitive flows. ∗PhD candidate in the Finance and Economics Division at Columbia Business School (Jcho14@gsb.columbia.edu).

Paper Title (use style: paper title)

we compare the performance of the nano-photonic waveguide based evanescent Raman sensors and a typical the confocal microscope. For 1 cm long strip silicon nitride waveguides, we theoretically expect more than 500 times higher signal compared to the confocal microscopic systems. The results of our preliminary measurements indicate at least 50 times higher signal. For slotted waveguides, the preliminary measurement result yields about 300 times higher signal compared to confocal microscope while the theoretical figure is more than 2000.

Allogeneic bone marrow transplantation for acute leukemia-IGCI experience

: From October 1984 to December 1994, 142 patients from six IGCI-BMT centers (78 acute myelogenous leukemia and 64 acute lymphoblastic leukemia) received allogeneic bone marrow from their HLA-identical sibling. The probability of LFS at 60 months is 41% for AML patients and 39% for ALL patients. A better LFS was documented in patients allografted in first CR compared to the patients treated in advanced stage of the disease. The overall relapse rate is 27% for AML patients and 45% for ALL patients. The relapse rate is higher for patients allografted in advanced stage of the disease (47 vs 26% at 60 months for AML and 55 vs 38% at 60 months for ALL). The incidence of moderate to severe acute GVHD is between 45-50% for both AML and ALL patients. Chronic GVHD was documented in 30% of AML patients and 38% of ALL patients. Transplant-related mortality for both AML and ALL is about 25%. Relapse and GVHD with or without infection are the main causes of death. These results confirmed that allogeneic BMT is very effective therapy for patients with acute leukemia, especially for patients transplanted in first CR.
A PDF Wrapper System for Table Processing Purpose

Tables are a widely-used structure for data presentation and summarisation in documents but are not yet well-utilised computationally because of the difficulty of extracting their structure and data automatically. Many pre-processing or wrapper tools have been developed to convert different document types to more structured data models. However, it is not straightforward for the tools to extract he document objects at the right level of granularity because it often depends on the intended applications. In this paper, we propose a PDF document wrapper system that is specifically targeted at table processing applications. We review the PDF specifications and identify particular challenges from the table processing point of view. We specify a table-oriented document model containing the required atomic elements for table extraction and understanding applications, and present implementation of the wrapper that produces the model. Our evaluation showed that using our wrapper modules resulted in better table locating and segmenting, compared to a similar system. The wrapper was able to detect important features such as page columns, bullets and numbering in all measures, recording over 90% accuracy.
Apresentação Pediátrica da Síndrome Antifosfolípide Paediatric Antiphospholipid Syndrome Presentation

Objective: To describe clinical and laboratorial features as well as outcome in a paediatric series with defined diagnosis of antiphospholipid syndrome. Methods: A descriptive-retrospective report from a pediatric tertiary referral, with case ascertainment by vascular events identification, either venous thrombosis or arterial occlusion, anti-cardiolipin antibodies (IgG and IgM) titres and lupus anticoagulant tests. Results: Five cases, being two boys and three girls, were identified in the last five years. Venous thrombosis occurred in brain sinus vessels (2), fibular (2), popliteal (1), femoral (1), intestinal (1) and renal (1) veins, followed by arterial occlusion in the gut (1), kidneys (1) halux (1) this resulted in digit gangrene as a recurrent event occurring during warfarin treatment. A spontaneous abortion occurred in an adolescent with thrombocytopenic purpura evolving into haemolytic anemia (Evans Syndrome) and bleeding fatal outcome. Laboratory investigation resulted in at least one positive titre of IgG and/or IgM anticardiolipin antibodies in all of the cases, being considered as primary antiphospholipid syndrome. Three cases have been followed under oral anticoagulation treatment. Conclusion: Cerebral and extremities venous thrombosis were the most frequent events in this series. This points to early diagnosis and team approach for investigation and treatment.
Simple and Low-Cost Photovoltaic Module Emulator

The design and testing phase of photovoltaic (PV) power systems requires time-consuming and expensive field-testing activities for the proper operational evaluation of maximum power point trackers (MPPT), battery chargers, DC/AC inverters. Instead, the use of a PV source emulator that accurately reproduces the electrical characteristic of a PV panel or array is highly desirable for in-lab testing and rapid prototyping. In this paper, we present the development of a low-cost microcontroller-based PV source emulator, which allows testing the static and dynamic performance of PV systems considering different PV module types and variable operating and environmental conditions. The novelty of the simple design adopted resides in using a low-cost current generator and a single MOSFET converter to reproduce, from a fixed current source, the exact amount of current predicted by the PV model for the actual load conditions. The I–V characteristic is calculated in real-time using a single diode exponential model under variable and user-selectable operating conditions. The proposed method has the advantage of reducing noise from high-frequency switching, reducing or eliminating ripple and the demand for output filters, and it does not require expensive DC Power source, providing high accuracy results. The fast response of the system allows the testing of very fast MPPTs algorithms, thus overcoming the main limitations of state-of-art PV source emulators that are unable to respond to the quick variation of the load. Experimental results carried on a hardware prototype of the proposed PV source emulator are reported to validate the concept. As a whole result, an average error of ±1% in the reproduction of PV module I–V characteristics have been obtained and reported.

Natural Language Generation for Social Robotics Applications∗

A crucial aspect of face-to-face social conversation is fluent, flexible linguistic interaction. However, most developers of social robots tend to employ relatively simplistic processes for choosing the words for their robots to say. This contrasts with the work carried out Natural Language Generation (NLG), the field of computational linguistics devoted to the automated production of high-quality linguistic content.
A LOWER BOUND ON INSPECTION TIME FOR COMPLEX SYSTEMS WITH WEIBULL TRANSITIONS

The paper studies the expectation of the inspection time in complex aging systems. Under reasonable assumptions, this problem is equivalent to studying the expectation of the length of the shortest path in the directed degradation graph of the systems where the parameters are obtained from experts. The expectation itself being sometimes out of reach, in closed form or even through Monte Carlo simulations in the case of large systems, we study the bound of Dyer, Frieze and McDiarmid which provides an interesting upper bound in the case of exponential transition times between degradation states. On the other hand, we show that this bound does not hold for Weibull distributions. Another problem is that lower bounds are much more useful in the context of estimating inspection times before failure. Such a rigourous lower bound is presented for the case of Weibull distribution with reasonable values of the shape parameter.
ModalitÃ©s du dÃ©clenchement dans les grossesses prolongÃ©es

MOTS CLÉS Grossesse prolongée ; Ocytocine ; Prostaglandines ; Misoprostol ; Sonde de Foley ; Déclenchement du travail Résumé Objectifs. — Chez les femmes enceintes à 41 SA et au-delà, définir l’intérêt du décollement des membranes, du déclenchement à l’ocytocine, du déclenchement aux prostaglandines E2 (dinoprostone) et E1 (misoprostol). Envisager d’autres méthodes ainsi que la situation particulière de l’utérus cicatriciel. Méthode. — Recherche bibliographique effectuée par consultation des banques de données PubMed et Cochrane. Résultats. — Le décollement des membranes n’est pas comparable à une technique rapide de déclenchement du travail. Il peut cependant réduire la durée de la grossesse par une augmentation du nombre de patientes entrant en travail spontanément dans la semaine suivant le décollement (NP2). Comparé à l’expectative, il n’augmente pas le taux de césarienne (NP1) et réduit le recours au déclenchement de 41 % à 41 SA et de 72 % à 42 SA (NP2). Il n’augmente ni le risque de rupture des membranes, ni les risques infectieux maternel et néonatal (NP2), mais ses désagréments (contractions, métrorragies, douleurs) doivent être clairement exposés et acceptés avant son éventuelle réalisation. Compte tenu de ses inconvénients, le décollement des membranes ne doit pas être imposé aux patientes lors d’un examen systématique. L’ocytocine reste la technique de référence des produits utilisés pour le déclenchement du travail lorsque le col est jugé favorable (Bishop ≥ 6). En présence de membranes intactes, il doit être couplé à l’amniotomie, car celle-ci permet une réduction significative du délai induction-accouchement (NP1). L’utilisation des prostaglandines s’accompagne d’un risque augmenté d’hypercinésie ou d’hypertonie utérine avec ou sans modifications du RCF (NP1). Les prostaglandines E2 vaginales — en tampon ou en gel — sont des méthodes comparables pour déclencher le travail. Elles peuvent être utilisées avec succès pour déclencher le travail indépendamment du score de Bishop (NP1). En cas de conditions cervicales défavorables, les PGE2 permettent de diminuer le recours à l’ocytocine (NP1). Les prostaglandines E1 (misoprostol) n’ont pas l’AMM dans le déclenchement du travail en fin de grossesse. C’est pourtant une molécule qui offre des perspectives intéressantes pour le déclenchement du travail à condition d’en utiliser la bonne dose, d’en informer des effets secondaires et d’en adapter la surveillance.

Structural Characterization of Chalcogenide Glasses During Solution Processing

Chalcogenide glasses are a class of amorphous materials containing one or more of the chalcogens sulfur, selenium, or tellurium with properties of interest for optoelectronics. Their high refractive indices and optically induced behaviors like photocrystallization make them well-suited for information transfer and storage devices like photonic waveguides and optical discs [1]. Their transparency in the mid-infrared, a crucial spectral region spanning two atmospheric transmission windows, enables remote sensing of many molecules [2]. Additionally, they can be doped with metallic nanoparticles to enhance these desirable traits [3]. Solution processing is commonly employed with chalcogenides, since the glasses dissolve readily in organic solvents and can then be doped, stored, or spin-coated with relative ease [3, 4]. But while this process has been well studied with regards to film and device preparation, little is known about the solution itself prior to deposition. Arsenic sulfide (As2S3), for instance, takes on elusive solvent-dependent structures during dissolution, leading to molecule-like clumps or polymer-like chains that can then influence film morphology [5, 6]. The first of these structures explored was in n-propylamine. Chern and Lauks detected amine salts in the solution—evidence of a solvent-solute reaction—despite the fact that optical properties were similar to bulk As2S3. They hypothesized a structure consisting of as-bulk As2S3 clusters with a sulfide shell bonded to the amine groups of the solvent [5]. Though yet unproven, this theory was assumed to be true by Kohoutek et al. in a later experiment that then claimed the size of the clusters increased with concentration [7]. While these studies provide a useful starting point for discussions on solution structure, their conclusions have gone largely untested. More than thirty years after the Chern and Lauks structure was proposed, there is still no direct experimental evidence to support it, no understanding of what determines its dimensions, and consequently, no way to truly forward engineer the morphological properties of films.
On the use of advanced measurement techniques for characterization of bond behavior in FRP-masonry components

Fiber reinforced materials are frequently used as externally bonded reinforcement (EBR) for structural enhancement of concrete and masonry structures. Significant progress has been achieved in the last years regarding experimental investigation and computational modeling of the debonding phenomenon and damage in FRP-strengthened masonry elements. However, aspects such as failure initiation, interfacial damage propagation and localization, three-dimensional nature of the bond behavior, effective bond length and strain distributions along the reinforcement as well as nondestructive bond quality monitoring are still open issues. This paper shows how these aspects can be monitored and characterized by means of three full-field measurement techniques including Infrared (IR) thermography, Digital Image Correlation (DIC) and Acoustic Emission (AE).
