Enhancing Inclusive Design by Balancing Digital Innovation and Physical Accessibility
Authors: Rong Emily
Published: September 2024

Even with recent advancements, significant challenges persist in the majority of subway systems globally, ranging from physical barriers to information accessibility and poor overall user experience. This paper contributes to the conversation surrounding inclusivity in urban planning by investigating how infrastructure development, technology integration, and policy changes affect the accessibility of Line 1 of the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC). Using a comprehensive literature review, this study contextualizes the concept of accessibility within the broader framework of disability rights movements and social perceptions while examining Line 1’s accessibility initiatives in the context of current global trends. Moreover, society should aim to guarantee that every individual experiences the highest level of freedom, irrespective of

their characteristics, for everyone is susceptible to disability, whether due to aging or injuries. Ultimately, this paper concludes that the Toronto Transit Commission’s current app development focused initiatives fail to sufficiently address gaps in physical infrastructure, as evidenced by an analysis of other accessibility initiatives, layout practicality, and various implications. The study recommends prioritizing physical modifications, such as strategically placed elevators, clear signage, and designated wheelchair areas, to improve the efficacy of other initiatives. By laying a foundation for continued exploration, this study aims to inspire global efforts in improving public transportation accessibility, fostering greater economic participation and independence for individuals with disabilities, social integration, and ridership satisfaction for everyone.
Using social determinants health theory as a framework to understand the complex tapestry of geographic, social, and economic factors that perpetuate ethnic inequality in New Zealand.
Authors: Lou RuiLin (David)
Published: September 2024

In recent years, there have been increasing attempts by both the government and private sector to address long-standing ethnic disparities that have characterised much of New Zealand’s post-colonial history. Despite this, historically marginalised groups such as Māori and Pasifika still face significant economic, social, and cultural obstacles. This paper utilises social determinants theory as a framework to understand the complex factors that perpetuate ethnic inequalities in New Zealand. Drawing on both primary and secondary data from New Zealand and research from comparable countries in the OECD, this paper finds that disparities in education and work commitments could be a significant driver of ethnic inequality, especially in an inter-generational context. The intra-regional structural dynamics of Auckland, New Zealand’s largest city, are also examined as a potential factor that synergises with other factors to perpetuate inequality. Based on these findings, this paper identifies several potential interventions that could

provide a greater equality of opportunity to Māori and Pasifika. These interventions include the expansion of Vocational Education Training (VET) programs with an emphasis on the provision of full-track programs and the expansion of finance-based equity systems.
Research on the synthesis of transitional metal and post-transitional metal doping zeolitic imidazolate framework-based electrocatalysts and electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction
Authors: Fang Zirui
Published: September 2024

Hydrogen, as a sustainable and green energy source, has gained significant attention in the context of the global energy crisis. The challenge underlying the hydrogen evolution reaction in electrochemical water splitting is to replace the noble metal-based electrocatalysts with effective low overpotential and kinetically favorable electrocatalysts. This research focused on the synthesis and modification of non-noble metal zeolitic imidazolate framework-based electrocatalysts. Using the heteroatom metal doping to improve electrocatalysts, Ni, Ce, Bi, and In are investigated as possible dopants. Herein, we successfully synthesized electrocatalysts combining CoM nanoalloy (M = Ni/Ce/In/Bi) with N-doped carbon nanostructure, denoted as CoM@NC. Among all synthesized electrocatalysts, CoNi@NC demonstrates to be the best HER electrocatalyst, with the lowest overpotential of 454.5mV at 10 mA cm-2 current density, Tafel slope of 86.3 mV dec-1, and stability for more than 10 hours. The composition and structures of CoNi@NC optimize its electron structure, increase active sites, and improve its onductivity and stability, which makes it a possible effective nonnoble metal HER electrocatalyst. This electrocatalyst provides a possible method to design and synthesize hydrogen evolution electrocatalysts that can replace noble metal-based electrocatalysts.

Authors: Mageean Amanda , Alexander Ryan , Mier Constance
Published: September 2024

The purpose of this study was to examine gender differences in repeated sprint exercise (RSE) performance among male and female athletes matched for VO2max relative to FFM (VO2max FFM). Thirty nine male and female college athletes performed a graded exercise test for VO2max and hydrostatic weighing to determine FFM. From the results, 11 pairs of males and females matched for VO2max FFM (mean ± SD; 58.3 ± 4.3 and 58.9 ± 4.6 ml.kg FFM-1.min-1; men and women, respectively) were identified. On a separate day, matched participants performed a RSE protocol that consisted of five 6-sec cycle sprints with 30-sec recovery periods, followed by 5-min active recovery and a 30-sec all-out sprint. Repeated 6-sec sprint performance did not differ between men and women; both maintained power output (PO) until sprint 4. POFFM (W.kg-1 FFM) did not differ between men and women during the five sprints. During the 30-sec sprint, men achieved a lower peak POFFM than women (11.7 ± 1.5 vs 13.2 ± 1.2); however, the decline in POFFM over 30 sec was greater in women. VO2 (ml.kg FFM-1.min-1) was lower in men during recovery (24.4 ± 3.8 vs 28.7 ± 5.7) and at the beginning (29.2 ± 4.0 vs 34.7 ± 4.9and end (49.4 ± 5.0 vs 52.3 ± 4.0) of the 30-sec sprint. These data indicate that men and women with similar aerobic capacities do not respond differently to short repeated sprints but may differ in their ability to recover and perform sprints of longer duration.

Published: September 2024

Children that are classified as obese (body mass index (BMI) > 95th percentile for age and sex, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) have an increased risk for metabolic and cardiovascular complications. Family based programs that focus on physical activity (PA) and healthy eating are recommended for treatment of pediatric obesity. The purpose of the current study is to determine the outcomes of Building Healthy Families (BHF), a family-based pediatric weight loss treatment program composed of nutrition, physical activity and behavioral modification strategies. In addition, mediating variables that are associated with weight loss in children, in order to enhance the retention and success of this program will be identified. Twenty-two obese (>95th percentile BMI) children (age: 9.94 ± 1.58 yrs) volunteered to participate. Children and their parents (20 moms, 20 dads, 68% obese; BMI > 30 kg•m‾²) participated in weekly nutrition education, family lifestyle PA, and one-on-one meetings with a behavioral psychologist. Overall, child participants lost an average of 2.3 ± 2.0 kg of body mass in 12 weeks while parents lost 6.4 ± 4.3 kg of their body mass. There was a significant inverse association between percentage of program goals met and weight loss (r = -0.67, p < 0.05). Decreases in the child participants intake of high fat, high calorie foods significantly predicted weight change (R2=0.98, p<0.05). In conclusion, family based pediatric obesity programs may offer significant benefits and lead to healthier lifestyles for obese children and their parents.

Authors: Medina Morales María Fernanda
Published: September 2024

El presente trabajo proporciona evidencia sobre el nivel de desarrollo de Gobierno Electrónico al que atiende el municipio de León, Guanajuato. Se parte de la revisión teórica del nuevo modelo de gestión para proporcionar un acercamiento a la conceptualización del fenómeno y, a su vez, presentar uno de los auspicios metodológicos con el cual ha sido posible medir su grado de desarrollo o evolución. Además, se da cuenta de la forma en la que el entorno institucional ha contribuido en la adopción del Gobierno Electrónico en el resto de los subsistemas, fuera del sistema internacional. Finalmente, a partir del modelo evolutivo se describe el proceso de integración del Gobierno Electrónico en el nivel municipal a partir de una de sus expresiones predominantes, es decir, los sitios web gubernamentales. El análisis realizado al sitio gubernamental leon.gob.mx, a partir del modelo presentado, concluye demostrando que el portal atiende a un nivel de integración total pero que, de acuerdo con el marco teórico aportado, no cumple con el grueso de los procesos integradores, por lo cual quedan pendientes por hacer acciones y trabajo en torno al completo desarrollo del nuevo paradigma de gestión.
Marco teórico para el estudio de la violencia política contra las mujeres en México: aplicación al análisis de sentencias
Authors: Torres Gómez Stephanie
Published: September 2024

El concepto Violencia Política contra las Mujeres en Razón de Género se introduce como una de las problemáticas político-electorales del contexto mexicano, consecuencia de la implementación de las acciones afirmativas. A partir su identificación, se ha conceptualizado mediante la integración de diferentes formas de violencia. Sin embargo, el concepto incluye categorías que aluden a crímenes de orden electoral y penal. Esta conjunción de elementos en su conceptualización dificulta su identificación, haciendo que las instituciones de impartición de justicia electoral sean insuficientes para sancionar este tipo de prácticas. Es así como alcanza relevancia la revisión de literatura sobre violencia, violencia contra las mujeres, violencia política y electoral, y violencia política contra las mujeres en razón de género, así como la teoría política feminista que actúa como eje transversal, el cual permite dar un seguimiento teórico sistemático a partir del concepto anclaje de dominación, dando lugar a la subordinación que lleva a conceptos como la exclusión, la desigualdad y la violencia contra las mujeres en todas sus configuraciones. La revisión de la literatura permite identificar las diferentes acciones, momentos, espacios y sujetos que ejercen violencia política contra las mujeres, elementos que se incluyen en la elaboración de un libro de códigos para el análisis de contenido de las sentencias en esta materia. En este trabajo se exponen los resultados del análisis de los datos generales de las sentencias, con el objetivo de proporcionar un entendimiento preliminar del comportamiento de las autoridades en la identificación y sanción de este tipo de violencia.

Partir de la blessure : une lecture du film En corps de Cédric Klapisch
Authors: Jacomino Baptiste
Published: September 2024

Elise se blesse en dansant un grand ballet classique sur la scène de l’opéra. C’est sur cet évènement traumatisant que s’ouvre le film En corps de Cédric Klapisch. Nous voyons ensuite Elise pleurer, errer, puis se relever au sein d’une compagnie de danse contemporaine. Le film dessine, tantôt explicitement, tantôt plus souterrainement, une ligne tout à la fois esthétique, éthique et pédagogique : elle consiste à partir de la blessure plutôt que de l’idéal. Il s’agit de passer d’un imaginaire de la sphère une et harmonieuse à l’acceptation d’une dispersion propice à la recherche, au désir, à la création et à la multiplication d’expériences esth-éthiques qui nourrissent la production artistique autant que la vie morale. L’idée éducative telle qu’elle structure les écoles depuis l’origine se trouve ainsi prise à contre-pied et un nouveau chemin éducatif possible s’ouvre pour nos sociétés éclatées.
Blanche Gardin, moraliste de notre temps ? Humour, spectacle et formation informelle du sujet hypermoderne
Authors: Roelens Camille
Published: September 2024

Dans la continuité de précédents travaux sur la part de la formation informelle dans le déploiement de l’éthicité du sujet hypermoderne, nous nous intéresserons dans ce texte aux enseignements que l’on peut tirer, lorsqu’on travaille dans le champ scientifique de l’éthique pratique et appliquée en éducation et formation, du succès contemporain des spectacles humoristiques « seule en scène » de l’humoriste française Gardin. Une première partie de l’étude nous permet d’en restituer les aspects les plus heuristiques. Une seconde esquisse trois pistes herméneutiques à explorer pour mieux comprendre en quoi Gardin s’érige in fine en éducatrice/formatrice informelle des passions de son public, du prisme le plus compréhensif et biographique (en lien avec ses études de sociologie) au plus critique, montrant en quoi elle glisse parfois de la position réflexive du moraliste classique à une posture moralisatrice plus problématique, car tendant davantage vers le fait de faire la leçon.
L’évaluation formative : pratiques d’évaluation en classe et dilemmes du personnel enseignant dans la mise en oeuvre
Authors: Ruminot Carolina
Published: September 2024

Cette recherche examine l’état actuel des connaissances, des contraintes et des défis existants dans la pratique de l’évaluation formative chez des enseignants du primaire au Chili. Les résultats de 17 entretiens semi-dirigés réalisés à la suite d’une formation de dix ateliers de développement professionnel indiquent que le personnel enseignant de l’étude démontre une préoccupation à repenser ses pratiques évaluatives en classe. Cependant, une approche traditionnelle reste mobilisée en raison, d’une part, du manque de formation et, d’autre part, de la forte concentration du système éducatif sur l’évaluation standardisée. Les analyses fournies dans l’étude révèlent des tensions dans la quête d’équilibre entre les évaluations formatives et sommatives. Or, les réflexions posées sur les connaissances des enseignants à l’égard des défis rencontrés dans leurs pratiques peuvent alimenter les réflexions pédagogiques quant à l’impact des évaluations standardisées sur les pratiques des enseignants et sur les apprentissages mathématiques des élèves.

Published: September 2024

Face à des élèves qui cumulent les formes de vulnérabilités, les acteurs du lycée professionnel (LP) conçoivent des dispositifs éducatifs innovants, notamment pour l’évaluation. Aussi, cette recherche participative et pluridisciplinaire autour de l’enseignement de l’anglais en CAP s’articule autour de deux axes : 1) l’impensé d’une évaluation diagnostique comme objet frontière et 2) l’évaluation des effets de la recherche participative sur les membres du collectif (enseignants, inspecteurs, chercheurs). Une méthodologie qualitative de recueil de données et d’analyse de contenus a été mise en oeuvre. Les résultats montrent le besoin exprimé de (re)mobiliser les acteurs (enseignants et élèves), en partie à travers des interactions entre enseignants, ainsi qu’avec les chercheurs, autour des pratiques d’évaluation. Les enseignants verbalisent leur développement professionnel grâce aux temps de coopération sur l’objet frontière. Les valuations émergent tant par la recherche que par la coconception de l’évaluation, au sein d’une communauté de pratique pluricatégorielle.
Étude visant à identifier des facteurs ayant le potentiel de réduire les écarts d’anxiété mathématique observés entre les garçons et les filles francophones de 15 ans du Québec, à partir d’une analyse des données du PISA de 2003 et 2012
Authors: Vohl Patricia , Loye Nathalie
Published: September 2024

Dans une étude antérieure (Vohl & Loye, 2024), nous avons montré qu’en moyenne, les filles québécoises francophones de 15 ans se disent davantage anxieuses à l’égard des mathématiques que les garçons et ce, sur l’ensemble du continuum des performances. Nous avons également montré que performances en mathématique et anxiété mathématique sont deux phénomènes négativement corrélés. Dans le présent article, nous souhaitons identifier des facteurs qui pourraient permettre d’expliquer les écarts d’anxiété mathématique observés entre les filles et les garçons. En prenant appui sur le modèle du contrôle et de la valeur de Pekrun (2006), nous vérifions si les écarts de concept de soi, de valeur intrinsèque et de valeur utilitaire observés entre les filles et les garçons expliquent complètement les écarts d’anxiété mathématique. Nos résultats révèlent que les écarts de concept de soi expliquent près de 70 % des écarts d’anxiété mathématique relevés chez les élèves francophones du Québec.

However, a comprehensive understanding of the immune microenvironment in the placenta of PE and the differences between PE and GDM is still lacking.

Inactivating mutations in the melanocortin 4 receptor (
MC4R
) gene cause monogenic obesity. Interestingly, female patients also display various degrees of reproductive disorders, in line with the subfertile phenotype of MC4RKO female mice. However, the cellular mechanisms by which MC4R regulates reproduction are unknown. Kiss1 neurons directly stimulate gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) release through two distinct populations; the Kiss1
ARH
neurons, controlling GnRH pulses, and the sexually dimorphic Kiss1
AVPV/PeN
neurons controlling the preovulatory LH surge. Here, we show that
Mc4r
expressed in Kiss1 neurons regulates fertility in females.
In vivo
, deletion of
Mc4r
from Kiss1 neurons in female mice replicates the reproductive impairments of MC4RKO mice without inducing obesity. Conversely, reinsertion of
Mc4r
in Kiss1 neurons of MC4R null mice restores estrous cyclicity and LH pulsatility without reducing their obese phenotype.
In vitro
, we dissect the specific action of MC4R on Kiss1
ARH
vs Kiss1
AVPV/PeN
neurons and show that MC4R activation excites Kiss1
ARH
neurons through direct synaptic actions. In contrast, Kiss1
AVPV/PeN
neurons are normally inhibited by MC4R activation except under elevated estradiol levels, thus facilitating the activation of Kiss1
AVPV/PeN
neurons to induce the LH surge driving ovulation in females. Our findings demonstrate that POMC
ARH
neurons acting through MC4R, directly regulate reproductive function in females by stimulating the “pulse generator” activity of Kiss1
ARH
neurons and restricting the activation of Kiss1
AVPV/PeN
neurons to the time of the estradiol-dependent LH surge, and thus unveil a novel pathway of the metabolic regulation of fertility by the melanocortin system.

Carnivores play key roles in maintaining ecosystem structure and function as well as ecological processes. Understanding how sympatric species coexist in natural ecosystems is a central research topic in community ecology and biodiversity conservation. In this study, we explored intra- and interspecific niche partitioning along spatial, temporal, and dietary niche partitioning between apex carnivores (wolf Canis lupus, snow leopard Panthera uncia, Eurasian lynx Lynx lynx) and mesocarnivores (Pallas’s cat Otocolobus manul, red fox Vulpes vulpes, Tibetan fox Vulpes ferrilata) in Qilian Mountain National Park, China, using camera trapping data and DNA metabarcoding sequencing data. Our study showed that apex carnivore species had more overlap temporally (coefficients of interspecific overlap ranging from 0.661 to 0.900) or trophically (Pianka’s index ranging from 0.458 to 0.892), mesocarnivore species had high dietary overlap with each other (Pianka’s index ranging from 0.945 to 0.997), and apex carnivore and mesocarnivore species had high temporal overlap (coefficients of interspecific overlap ranging from 0.497 to 0.855). Large dietary overlap was observed between wolf and snow leopard (Pianka’s index = 0.892) and Pallas’s cat and Tibetan fox (Pianka’s index = 0.997), suggesting the potential for increased resource competition for these species pairs. We concluded that spatial niche partitioning is likely to key driver in facilitating the coexistence of apex carnivore species, while spatial and temporal niche partitioning likely facilitate the coexistence of mesocarnivore species, and spatial and dietary niche partitioning facilitate the coexistence between apex and mesocarnivore species. Our findings consider partitioning across temporal, spatial, and dietary dimensions while examining diverse coexistence patterns of carnivore species in Qilian Mountain National Park, China. These findings will contribute substantially to current understanding of carnivore guilds and effective conservation management in fragile alpine ecosystems.

The emergence of myelinating oligodendrocytes represents a pivotal developmental milestone in vertebrates, given their capacity to ensheath axons and facilitate the swift conduction of action potentials. It is widely accepted that cortical oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs) arise from medial ganglionic eminence (MGE), lateral/caudal ganglionic eminence (LGE/CGE), and cortical radial glial cells (RGCs). Here, we used two different fate mapping strategies to challenge the established notion that the LGE generates cortical OPCs. Furthermore, we used a Cre/loxP-dependent exclusion strategy to reveal that the LGE/CGE does not give rise to cortical OPCs. Additionally, we showed that specifically eliminating MGE-derived OPCs leads to a significant reduction of cortical OPCs. Together, our findings indicate that the LGE does not generate cortical OPCs, contrary to previous beliefs. These findings provide a new view of the developmental origins of cortical OPCs and a valuable foundation for future research on both normal development and oligodendrocyte-related disease.

Background

Although chemoradiotherapy is an effective treatment for esophageal cancer, its feasibility in esophageal cancer with cirrhosis remains largely unclear.

Methods

We retrospectively studied 11 patients with superficial esophageal cancer with liver cirrhosis (Child-Pugh score ≤8) who underwent radical chemoradiotherapy from four centers, and the overall survival rate, local control rate and adverse events at 1 and 3 years were explored.

Results

The median age of the included patients was 67 years (Inter-Quartile Range 60–75 years). Complete response was observed in most patients (n = 10, 90.9%), and the remaining patient was unevaluable. The 1- and 3-year overall survival and local control rates were 90.9% and 90.9%, and 72.7% and 63.6%, respectively. Hematotoxicity was a common adverse reaction, and seven patients developed radiation esophagitis, with grade 3–4 observed in two cases. All cases of radiation dermatitis (n = 4) and radiation pneumonia (n = 2) were grade 1–2. Gastrointestinal bleeding occurred in two patients, including one with grade 1–2 bleeding, and one died.

Conclusion

Radical chemoradiotherapy is a potential treatment option for patients with superficial esophageal cancer complicated with cirrhosis. However, it can increase the risk of bleeding, which warrants prompt recognition and intervention.
