The Myth of the Angry Voters: Parliamentary Election in Slovak Republic
Authors: Žúborová Viera , Borarosová Ingrid
Published: February 2017

The recent parliamentary elections which took place in The Slovak Republic in March 2016 opened for many national and international commentators the bottled of demons from the past history of Slovakia. For the first time a Far right extremist political party entered into parliament and held seats there. They gained more than some standard political parties and also were not dubbed as the “black” horse of this election. As they were not measured by public opinion. The main purpose of this article is to analyze the fundamental purpose of voters that had elected this political party and on the other hand the main reason that has opened the parliamentary door to such a political entity that was not visible in the previous electoral periods or played any important role in the independence of Slovak republic. Our main assumption will be that which is taken from the media analysis before the parliamentary election and public opinion research. Our main variable from the external environment will be the migration refugee crisis and the rhetoric of political parties acting at national level. We can assume that this was one of the main reason for the entry of this political party within others which were “hidden” or covered by this crisis and were not mediatized in the media.
Preliminary Results Regarding the Present Morphometric Characters of Thermal Rudd, Scardinius racovitzai Müller 1958 from Pețea Spring Natural Reserve
Authors: Grigoraş Gabriela , Müller Tamás , Gagiu Adrian , Şerban Cecilia , Bontaş Ionuţ
Published: February 2017

The precarious temperature regime, associated with the negative influence of other environmental and biotic factors, represents a major risk for the survival of the thermal rudd from the lake Ochiul Mare, located in the Pârâul Peţea natural reserve. Therefore, a complex morphometric and body geometry analysis was conducted on specimens collected in 2013 in order to define the variability of the present population. The relatively small sample size is due to legislative restrictions on collecting endangered species, so statistical methods of analysis were applied to increase confidence in the assertions.
Addressing Adolescent Oral Health: A Review
Authors: Silk Hugh , Kwok Amy
Published: February 2017

Oral health is one of the most unmet health care needs of adolescents. Oral disease can have a profound effect on overall health, including pain, missed school, heart disease, and even death. Adolescents have specific needs pertaining to oral health in addition to the usual lifelong issues of caries management, sports injury prevention, and dental referrals. Teen years are a higher risk time for oral piercings, increased sugar intake, nicotine initiation, and orthodontic considerations. Adolescents need a unique approach to motivate them about their oral health issues. This is particularly important because lifelong health habits are created during these formative years, and prevention opportunities for sealants and varnish are only available at this age.
Filosofia da Educação e formação de professores no velho dilema entre teoria e prática
Authors: Trevisan Amarildo Luiz
Published: February 2017

A discussão sobre a formação de professores no Brasil parece seguir o deslocamento do polo da teoria para o polo da prática, ou seja, do "dever ser" ao "fazer" do professor, acompanhando a mudança de paradigma que norteou o surgimento da compreensão moderna do conhecimento. Entretanto, o que se observa no modelo proposto, subjacente à legislação, é uma tentativa extremamente problemática de minimizar a sua distância, na medida em que apenas se afirma de outro modo a mesma dicotomia. Não há uma solução ou equacionamento correto, pois somente se diluiu a prática ao longo do percurso teórico, sem compreender devidamente o significado da virada da prática. Por isso, o objetivo do texto é propor uma reformulação do dilema entre teoria e prática desenvolvido pela educação brasileira enquanto cristalizado nas normativas sobre a formação de professores, a partir da reflexão sobre uma Filosofia da Educação inspirada na teoria do reconhecimento social do outro.
Joined up Clinical Governance: Learning from Our Mistakes
Authors: Mosedale Pam
Published: February 2017

This session will be a practical demonstration, with group discussion of how a significant event can lead to the practice examining what happened, looking at the evidence base, revising protocols & auditing implementation of the new protocols.

A significant event is an event thought by anyone in the team to be significant in the care of patients or the conduct of the practice.
Significant Event Audit is a qualitative rather than quantitative form of Audit but still needs a structured framework to be successful.
SEA involves gathering information in the form of a timeline of the event, clinical records & accounts of individuals involved.
Scenarios around significant events will be discussed and analysed by the group as if they were conducting a non-threatening, open, fair & honest SEA meeting.

During the meeting the incident will be analysed to see what happened, why it happened, any underlying reasons, what has been learned & what needs to change. This meeting is not to apportion blame.

When looking at what needs to change the group should consider whether it is necessary to go away & look at the evidence base & then make changes to practice protocols. Any need for training or CPD for individuals or the whole team should be identified.
A timescale for changes should be agreed.

An audit can then be carried out to monitor the improvements and assess the impact of these changes. The group will consider what audits are appropriate, whether process or outcome audits are useful in the circumstances. They will also discuss how these audits can be carried out.

SEA is a very useful tool in veterinary practice & a very good way to get all team members engaged with clinical governance & evidence based veterinary medicine in a joined up way which demonstrates the potential improvements to practice systems of work and patient care and safety.

This session would be designed to appeal to all team members whether vets, nurses, receptionists or practice managers.

"Aleppo" and "Sunset"
Authors: Whelan Alex , Cohen Irun
Published: February 2017

IntroductionDaniel DouekWe are very fortunate to introduce two poems from two great immunologists, Alex Whelan and Irun Cohen. Alex’s poem, titled “Aleppo,” is a stark insight into the horrors which scar the population of that blighted city. Irun has written a haiku in response which evokes the interminable nature of that horror. When I walked into Irun’s lab at the age of 18, one of the technicians took one look at me and said in Arabic “Enta Halabi” —You are from Aleppo. And indeed, without knowing who I was, he recognized that I have the features of an Aleppine Jew. My great-great-grandfather was the chief rabbi of that city’s once flourishing Jewish community. As for the great synagogue from which he preached—I do not know if it exists today. And if it does exist today, I do not know if it will exist tomorrow.
A New Recommended Practice for Fit-for-Purpose Well Abandonment
Authors: Wilson Adam
Published: February 2017

This article, written by Special Publications Editor Adam Wilson, contains highlights of paper OTC 27084, “Introducing a New Recommended Practice for Fit-for-Purpose Well Abandonment,” by David Buchmiller, SPE, Per Jahre-Nilsen, Stian Sætre, and Eric Allen, SPE, DNV GL, prepared for the 2016 Offshore Technology Conference, Houston, 2–5 May. The paper has not been peer reviewed. Copyright 2016 Offshore Technology Conference. Reproduced by permission.

DNV GL is introducing a new, risk-based recommended practice for performing and qualifying well abandonments titled DNVGL-RP-E103, Risk-Based Abandonment of Offshore Wells. Most of the current regulations use prescriptive requirements for well-abandonment design and the necessary plugging operations. As an alternative to the established one-size-fits-all approaches, the DNV GL recommended practice analyzes the abandonment requirements for each well and field using a quantitative method that takes into account subsurface uncertainties.

Introduction

There is an ongoing paradigm shift toward differentiating plug-and-abandonment requirements on a well-by-well basis instead of having prescriptive requirements, which not only will provide the appropriate focus for complex wells and facilitate development of new technology but also will potentially reduce plug-and-abandonment expenditures.

The recommended practice is intended to provide an alternative approach based on functional requirements and risk-acceptance criteria to assess abandonment designs. This is consistent with offshore engineering practice and is in-tended to facilitate cost-efficient solutions, including the development of new technology. By calculating the risk levels for the proposed solutions and cross checking them with the risk-acceptance criteria, more-cost-effective solutions can be identified and implemented.

Advantages of this approach are that it has

Explicit criteria for environmental protection

Plug-and-abandonment spending focused on higher-risk wells

The ability to optimize well-abandonment design

The flexibility to make use of new plugging technology in the future

Site-specific considerations

Methodology, Data, and Results

The methodology for performing risk-based assessments of well-abandonment designs is composed of five steps. The steps are

Establishing the risk context

Identifying well-barrier-failure modes

Performing a risk analysis

Performing a risk evaluation

Conducting qualification for well-abandonment design

Fig. 1 depicts the elements in a well-abandonment risk assessment. Establishing the risk context is the first step in the process and applies to the entire assessment. The second, third, and fourth steps are part of the risk-assessment process, where the well-abandonment risks are identified, analyzed, and evaluated. At the conclusion of the risk-assessment process, a qualification of the well-abandonment design is performed.
Electrochemically-assisted ammonia recovery from wastewater using a floating electrode
Authors: Muster Tim H. , Jermakka Johannes
Published: February 2017

This work presents and explores a novel methodology for the removal and recovery of ammonia from wastewater based upon two mechanisms: electrochemical oxidation and a previously unreported electrochemically-assisted surface transfer mechanism. Recovery of ammonia is enabled by placing a porous cathodic electrode at the wastewater-air interface. In this configuration, the cathode creates local alkalinity and an electric field that draws ammonium ions towards the wastewater-air interface, resulting in near-linear reductions of dissolved ammonium irrespective of concentration. This approach leads to significant ammonia recovery without the need for ion-exchange membranes. In addition, anodic reactions that simultaneously occur at depth in the wastewater induce ammonia oxidation in accordance with proven mechanisms. The floating electrode approach offers improved ammonia removal efficiency in comparison to electrooxidation. Trials conducted on synthetic wastewater (900 mg NH4+-N l−1) and filtered anaerobic centrate (560 mg NH4+-N l−1) demonstrated ammonia concentration decreases up to 216 mg l−1 hr−1 and 110 mg l−1 hr−1, respectively, under the application of 5 mA cm−2 current density. The technology would be best used to treat municipal and industrial wastewaters possessing high ammonia concentration, including anaerobic digester centrate and urine, and offers potential to assist in removing ammonia from environmental waters.

Employee perceptions of the influence of diversity dimensions on co-worker interactions and daily organizational operations
Authors: Reddy Atasha , Parumasur Sanjana Brijball
Published: February 2017

This study assesses employee perceptions of the influence of diversity dimensions (race, gender, religion, language, sexual orientation, attitudes, values, work experience, physical ability, economic status, personality) on their interactiions with co-workers as well as on their organization in its daily operations. These perceptions were also compared and gender related correlates were assessed. The study was undertaken in a public sector Electricity Department in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. The population includes 100 employees in the organization, from which a sample of 81 was drawn using simple random sampling. Data was collected using a self-developed, pre-coded, self-administered questionnaire whose reliability was assessed using Cronbach’s Coefficient Alpha. Data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The findings reflect that employees perceive that their interactions with co-workers are most likely to be influenced by attitudes, work experience and personality and that daily organizational operations are most likely to be influenced by race, work experience and attitudes. Furthermore, religion and sexual orientation are perceived as having the least influence on co-worker interaction and day-to-day organizational operations. In the study it was also found that employees perceive that race followed by gender influences day-to-day organizational operations to a larger extent than it influences co-worker interactions. Recommendations made have the potential to enhance the management of workforce diversity
Growth opportunities and dividend policy: some evidence on the role of ethnicity in an emerging economy
Authors: Subramaniam Ravichandran K. , Shaiban Mohammed , Suppiah Susela Devi
Published: February 2017

This paper examines the association between growth opportunities and dividend payouts and moderates the relationship between growth opportunities and dividend payouts. Our sample consisted of the Malaysian top 300 public listed companies (in terms of market capitalization) for a period from 2004 to 2011. Based on a specified selection process, the sample contained 1330 firm-year observations, after excluding firms with missing data. This paper finds that growth opportunities is associated with less dividends payouts and that this relationship is weaker for Bumiputera ethnic controlled firms. Furthermore, the results show that this negative association exists only for non-Government Linked Controlled firms

Published: February 2017

Chagas disease or American trypanosomiasis is a worldwide public health problem. In this work, we evaluated 26 new propyl and isopropyl quinoxaline-7-carboxylate 1,4-di-N-oxide derivatives as potential trypanocidal agents. Additionally, molecular docking and enzymatic assays on trypanothione reductase (TR) were performed to provide a basis for their potential mechanism of action. Seven compounds showed better trypanocidal activity on epimastigotes than the reference drugs, and only four displayed activity on trypomastigotes; T-085 was the lead compound with an IC50 = 59.9 and 73.02 µM on NINOA and INC-5 strain, respectively. An in silico analysis proposed compound T-085 as a potential TR inhibitor with better affinity than the natural substrate. Enzymatic analysis revealed that T-085 inhibits parasite TR non-competitively. Compound T-085 carries a carbonyl, a CF3, and an isopropyl carboxylate group at 2-, 3- and 7-position, respectively. These results suggest the chemical structure of this compound as a good starting point for the design and synthesis of novel trypanocidal derivatives with higher TR inhibitory potency and lower toxicity.
Serum Uric Acid and the Risk of Incident and Recurrent Gout: A Systematic Review
Authors: Shiozawa Aki , Szabo Shelagh M. , Bolzani Anna , Cheung Antoinette , Choi Hyon K.
Published: February 2017

Objective.

Lowering serum uric acid (SUA) levels can essentially cure gout; however, this is not widely practiced. To summarize epidemiologic evidence related to this causal link, we conducted a systematic review of the published literature reporting the association between SUA level and incident and recurrent gout (i.e., gout flares).

Methods.

We systematically searched Medline, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews using separate search strategies for incident gout and recurrent gout. We screened 646 abstracts to identify 8 eligible articles reporting gout incidence and 913 abstracts to identify 18 articles reporting recurrent gout.

Results.

For both gout incidence and recurrence, a graded trend was observed where the risk was increased with higher SUA levels. Gout incidence rates per 1000 person-years from population-based studies ranged from 0.8 (SUA ≤ 6 mg/dl) to 70.2 cases (SUA ≥ 10 mg/dl). Recurrent gout risk in clinical cohorts ranged from 12% (SUA ≤ 6 mg/dl) to 61% (SUA ≥ 9 mg/dl) among those receiving urate-lowering therapy (ULT), and 3.7% (SUA 6–7 mg/dl) to 61% (SUA > 9.3 mg/dl) after successful ULT. Retrospective database studies also showed a graded relationship, although the strength of the association was weaker. Studies reporting mean flares or time-to-flare according to SUA showed similar findings.

Conclusion.

This systematic review confirms that higher SUA levels are associated with increased risk of incident and recurrent gout in a graded manner. Although few prospective cohorts have evaluated incident and recurrent gout according to SUA, the existing evidence underscores the need to treat to SUA targets, as recommended by the American College of Rheumatology and the European League Against Rheumatism.

Sericulture Industry
Authors: Raju P. J. , Mamatha D. M. , Seshagiri S. V.
Published: February 2017

India has a huge potential for sericulture development unlike other agro industries since sericulture is a unique agro-based industry comprising of several components such as mulberry cultivation, silkworm rearing, silk reeling and other connected activities. Each of these components appear to be independent but closely linked with one another having intricacies of their own. The major activities of these components comprises of mulberry food-plant cultivation to feed the silkworms which spin silk cocoons and reeling the cocoons for unwinding the silk filament for manufacturing silk goods, subjecting them to the process of degumming, bleaching, dyeing, weaving and printing. Thus sericulture industry provides employment to approximately 7.85 million in rural and semi urban areas in India. Of these, a sizeable number belongs to the economically weaker sections of the society, including women. In addition to this, India has the unique credibility of producing all the five known commercial silk viz., mulberry, tropical tasar, oak tasar, eri and muga of which muga with its golden yellow glitter is unique and prerogative of India. Though silk is a luxury item, it is produced by the rural populace and purchased by urban rich, causing money to flow from urban to rural. It also prevents rural people to migrate to urban areas. The United Nation's recent endeavor “Millennium Development Goals” has an eight point programme to make our earth more healthy wealthy and free from inequalities by 2015. Sericulture being a rural and women friendly business aligns well with many of these ideas which are explained in detail in the chapter.

Multi-year surface velocities and sea-level rise contribution of the Basin-3 and Basin-2 surges, Austfonna, Svalbard
Authors: Schellenberger Thomas , Dunse Thorben , Kääb Andreas , Schuler Thomas Vikhamar , Hagen Jon Ove , Reijmer Carleen H.
Published: February 2017

Abstract. Basin-3, the largest outlet basin of the Austfonna ice cap, started to surge in autumn 2012. A maximum velocity of 18.8 m d-1 was found in December 2012 / January 2013. Here we present a time series of area wide velocity fields from synthetic aperture radar (SAR) offset tracking and Global Positioning System (GPS) data in the aftermath of the velocity maximum, extending the previously published data from May 2013 to July 2016. We find that terminus velocity slowed down by ~ 50 % until spring 2014, whereas the upper parts of the basin continued to speed-up and reached their maximum only in summer 2014. Until the date of writing (July 2016), Basin-3 maintained high velocity with maxima between 8.9–11.4 m d-1. Summer speed-ups were superimposed even on the otherwise fast surge motion. The total frontal ablation Af over the period 19 April 2012 to 26 July 2016 was calculated to 22.2 ± 8.1 Gt (5.2 ± 1.9 Gt yr-1) from the ice mass flux qfg = 33.2 ± 11.5 Gt (7.8 ± 2.7 Gt yr-1) and the terminus mass change qt = 11.0 ± 3.4 Gt (2.6 ± 0.8 Gt yr-1). Additional advance of the terminus led to a total sea-level rise equivalent of 31.3 ± 11.2 Gt (7.3 ± 2.6 Gt yr-1). This rate of frontal ablation roughly equals previous estimates of both the calving flux and total mass loss from the entire archipelago, resulting in a doubling of the current ice-mass loss from Svalbard. In vicinity of Basin-3, we also observe a terminus advance and a speed-up of the northern part of Basin-2 starting in autumn 2014, with surface velocity reaching 8.71 m d-1 in August 2015. The related ice mass loss of Basin-2 between 20 June 2015 and 26 July 2016 amounts to 0.8 Gt (min: 0.3 Gt, max: 1.6 Gt). Accounting also for the replacement of ocean water, we find a total sea-level rise equivalent of 1.1 Gt (min: 0.5 Gt, max: 2.1 Gt).
El mensaje periodístico en la comunicación comercial: El caso de los micro-programas en la radio generalista
Authors: Muela-Molina Clara , Perelló-Oliver Salvador
Published: February 2017

El presente trabajo explora el uso del micro-programa definiéndolo como una modalidad de mensaje híbrido que mimetiza el mensaje comercial con el periodístico sin que los oyentes sean explícitamente advertidos de la naturaleza publicitaria del mensaje que, en la mayoría de las ocasiones, son protagonizados por los propios periodistas. Para la consecución de este objetivo se analizaron todos los micro-programas emitidos en las emisoras radiofónicas generalistas. Esas prácticas, contrarias a la legislación publicitaria y al código deontológico de los periodistas, se basan en no distinguir los contenidos editoriales de los publicitarios, proyectando en el producto o servicio anunciado la credibilidad que el periodista ostenta como líder de opinión, en detrimento del respeto que éste debe a la audiencia y con el consentimiento de los responsables del medio.

Este estudo analisou os sentidos produzidos por homens usuários a respeito dos
serviços de atenção primária em saúde da cidade de Natal-RN. Examinamos
dois contextos: unidade básica de saúde (UBS), localizada em um bairro
de classe média, e uma unidade de saúde da família (USF), localizada num
bairro de classe popular. Realizamos entrevistas semiestruturadas com 24
homens, sendo 12 de cada serviço. Os sentidos produzidos se vinculam às
experiências vividas com os serviços, especialmente no tocante à relação
profissional-usuário e à oferta de serviços. A maioria do grupo da UBS
aponta para a pouca resolutividade, gerando sentidos de ineficácia do
serviço. Na USF, os sentidos apresentam uma positividade em relação ao
serviço, que julgamos ter relação com a natureza da ESF. A assistência à
saúde do homem deve ser pensada no sentido da especificidade das suas
demandas, considerando a perspectiva de gênero para se alcançar um maior
conhecimento das necessidades de saúde da população masculina.

Objective

To investigate the prevalence and progression of early radiographic osteoarthritis (OA) of the hip and knee on different radiographic views, to determine whether different radiographic views have additional value in detecting early hip and knee radiographic OA cases or progression.

Methods

In the Cohort Hip and Cohort Knee (CHECK) study (n = 1,002), 5 different radiographs were obtained: an anteroposterior and faux profile view of the hips, and posteroanterior, mediolateral, and skyline views of the knees. The prevalence of radiographic OA was estimated based on each view separately and in combinations. We determined whether different radiographic views have additional value in detecting and determining the progression of radiographic OA cases, compared to standard projections.

Results

In the hip, we found 22.9% more cases when we combined both views. In the knee, we detected 79.7% more radiographic OA cases when we combined information from all 3 different radiographic views than when using only the posteroanterior view. Progression was seen in 33.1% more cases when using 2 hip radiographs, and in 65.1% more cases when using 3 knee radiographs.

Conclusion

The use of different radiographic views increased the number of participants classified as having radiographic OA in an early OA cohort, both at baseline and at followup. The progression of early radiographic OA is demonstrated more frequently when multiple different radiographic views are used.
Shuttle Catalysis—New Strategies in Organic Synthesis
Authors: Bhawal Benjamin N. , Morandi Bill
Published: January 2017

Shuttle catalysis has recently emerged as a powerful new concept that provides a platform for performing both functionalization and defunctionalization reactions. In this concept article, applications of shuttle catalysis as a novel strategy in organic synthesis are discussed. This includes using forward shuttle catalysis reactions for challenging bond‐forming processes that avoid the use of hazardous chemicals. Shuttle catalysis also facilitates the transfer of reactive functionality as a route to procure a broad range of compounds using one simple procedure. Reverse shuttle catalysis reactions are also discussed as a method for the valorization of biomass and waste materials. Another area of interest, shuttle‐catalysis‐assisted reactions, wherein the transfer of a small molecule is utilized in a catalytic cycle, is also described. Possible future directions in this exciting new field are also suggested.

Biodiversity in agricultural landscapes: The effect of apple cultivar on epiphyte diversity
Authors: Stevenson C. Robin , Davies Chantel , Rowntree Jennifer K.
Published: January 2017

In natural systems, extended phenotypes of trees can be important in determining the species composition and diversity of associated communities. Orchards are productive systems where trees dominate, and can be highly biodiverse, but few studies have considered the importance of tree genetic background in promoting associated biodiversity. We tested the effect of apple cultivar (plant genetic background) on the diversity and composition of the associated epiphytic bryophyte community across a total of seven cultivars in five productive East Anglian orchards where each orchard contained two cultivars. Data were collected from 617 individual trees, over 5 years. Species richness and community composition were significantly influenced by both orchard and cultivar. Differences among orchards explained 16% of the variation in bryophyte community data, while cultivar explained 4%. For 13 of the 41 bryophyte species recorded, apple cultivar was an important factor in explaining their distribution. While the effects of cultivar were small, we were able to detect them at multiple levels of analysis. We provide evidence that extended phenotypes act in productive as well as natural systems. With issues of food security ranking high on the international agenda, it is important to understand the impact of production regimes on associated biodiversity. Our results can inform mitigation of this potential conflict.

Published: January 2017

Amperometric sensor for eugenol based on glassy carbon electrode (GCE) modified with CeO2 nanoparticles dispersed in surfactant was fabricated. The effect of surfactant nature (sodium dodecylsulfate, cetylpyridinium bromide (CPB) and Brij® 35) on eugenol voltammetric behaviour was tested. In comparison to CeO2‐H2O/GCE, CeO2‐CPB/GCE showed 2.8‐fold increased current and 70 mV cathodic shift of potential in the diffusion‐controlled irreversible electrooxidation. The electrodes were characterized with SEM and EIS. CeO2‐CPB/GCE showed significantly lower charge transfer resistance (2.6±0.3 kΩ vs. 20±1 kΩ for CeO2‐H2O/GCE and 173±9 kΩ for GCE). Under conditions of DPV, the sensor linear dynamic range is 0.075‐75.0 μM of eugenol with the limits of detection (LOD) and quantification (LOQ) of 19.1 and 63.8 nM, respectively. The sensor exhibited high sensitivity, selectivity, good reproducibility and fast response and was applied for the real samples analysis (essential oils and clove spices). The results obtained correspond well to the data of spectrophotometric method.
Serpentinite Carbonation Process Routes using Ammonium Sulfate and Integration in Industry
Authors: Zevenhoven Ron , Slotte Martin , Koivisto Evelina , Erlund Rickard
Published: January 2017

Vast resources of serpenitinite rock available worldwide are capable of binding CO2 amounts that diminish the capacity of methods based on geological storage of CO2. R&D has been ongoing in Finland for many years on developing large‐scale application of process routes for serpentinite carbonation. Several routes have been assessed in the laboratory, in all cases using ammonium salts to extract magnesium from rock followed by carbonation either in a gas/solid reactor at elevated temperatures and pressures or in an aqueous solution at ambient conditions. The choice for either route is motivated by the CO2‐producing source, (waste) heat availability, the magnesium (hydro‐)carbonate product aimed at, and a preference for energy efficiency or simplicity. Rocks from several locations have been analysed. A special issue is the recovery of the ammonium flux salt, typically from an aqueous solution. As for application, several industry sectors are considered, such as a (natural gas fired) power plant, a lime kiln, or iron‐ and steelmaking, applying mineral carbonation (MC) to blast furnace top gas. The analysis includes life cycle assessment (LCA). Finally, the use of magnesium (hydro‐)carbonates for heat storage is addressed.

The BRCA‐like phenotype is a feature that some sporadic breast cancers share with those occurring in BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation carriers. As tumors with the phenotype have defects in the DNA damage response pathway, which may increase sensitivity to drugs such as DNA cross‐linking agents and PARP inhibitors, a method to identify this phenotype is important. The prediction of chemoresistance, which frequently develops in these tumors, is also crucial for improving therapy. We examined genomic aberrations and BRCA1 promoter methylation in tumors of 73 breast cancer (20 HR−/HER2− and 53 HR+/HER2−) patients, who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy with anthracycline, cyclophosphamide, and taxane, using SNP array CGH and quantitative PCR. The methylation and/or loss or uniparental disomy (UPD) of BRCA1 (BRCA1 alterations) and the loss or UPD of BRCA2 (BRCA2 alterations) were detected in 27 (37%) and 21 (29%), respectively, of the 73 tumors. Tumors with BRCA1 or BRCA2 alterations were associated with a higher number of genomic aberrations (P < 0.001 and P < 0.001) and higher percentage of TP53 alterations (P < 0.001 and P < 0.001) than those without. Overall survival (OS) rates were similar between patients with or without BRCA1 or BRCA2 alterations. However, when 27 patients with BRCA1‐altered tumors were classified into those with or without the loss or UPD of PALB2, PAGR1, RAD51B, FANCM, MLL4, or ERCC1/2 in tumors, patients with additional defects in DNA damage response genes had worse OS (P = 0.037, 0.045, 0.038, 0.044, 0.041, or 0.019) than those without. These defects may confer chemoresistance and predict poor outcomes in patients with BRCA1‐altered breast cancer.

The bedrock controls on catchment mixing, storage, and release have been actively studied in recent years. However, it has been difficult to find neighbouring catchments with sufficiently different and clean expressions of geology to do comparative analysis. Here, we present new data for 16 nested catchments (0.45 to 410 km2) in the Alzette River basin (Luxembourg) that span a range of clean and mixed expressions of schists, phyllites, sandstones, and quartzites to quantify the relationships between bedrock permeability and metrics of water storage and release. We examined 9 years' worth of precipitation and discharge data, and 6 years of fortnightly stable isotope data in streamflow, to explore how bedrock permeability controls (a) streamflow regime metrics, (b) catchment storage, and (c) isotope response and catchment mean transit time (MTT). We used annual and winter precipitation–run‐off ratios, as well as average summer and winter precipitation–run‐off ratios to characterise the streamflow regime in our 16 study catchments. Catchment storage was then used as a metric for catchment comparison. Water mixing potential of 11 catchments was quantified via the standard deviation in streamflow δD (σδD) and the amplitude ratio (AS/AP) of annual cycles of δ18O in streamflow and precipitation. Catchment MTT values were estimated via both stable isotope signature damping and hydraulic turnover calculations. In our 16 nested catchments, the variance in ratios of summer versus winter average run‐off was best explained by bedrock permeability. Whereas active storage (defined here as a measure of the observed maximum interannual variability in catchment storage) ranged from 107 to 373 mm, total catchment storage (defined as the maximum catchment storage connected to the stream network) extended up to ~1700 mm (±200 mm). Catchment bedrock permeability was strongly correlated with mixing proxies of σδD in streamflow and δ18O AS/AP ratios. Catchment MTT values ranged from 0.5 to 2 years, based on stable isotope signature damping, and from 0.5 to 10 years, based on hydraulic turnover.
