Surgical and dermatological management of asymptomatic congenital ear canal atresia in a male Wirehaired Pointing Griffon dog
Authors: Cantrall Reanna , Spinner Maureen , Petersen Annette , Ludwig Allison 
Published: November 2024

AbstractA 1‐year‐old, male, entire Wirehaired Pointing Griffon was evaluated for asymptomatic right congenital ear canal atresia. Head computed tomography confirmed congenital ear canal atresia diagnosis. Surgical resection and anastomosis of the ear canal followed by video otoscopy was performed. An intact, but flaccid tympanic membrane, suspected from impacted ear canal debris, was identified. One week postoperatively, bilateral yeast otitis externa was diagnosed and successfully treated with topical anti‐fungal therapy. Five months postoperatively, the stoma remained patent, the dog was asymptomatic, and computed tomography with video otoscopy revealed a taut tympanic membrane bulging into the horizontal ear canal. Myringotomy, cytology, bacterial cultures, susceptibility testing, middle ear saline lavage and pre‐emptive topical antibiotic therapy were pursued. Cultures yielded no bacterial growth. Four weeks later, the tympanic membrane was visibly normal, and the stoma was unchanged. This case report is the first to describe interdisciplinary management of asymptomatic congenital ear canal atresia and might support early surgical intervention as a reasonable option.

AbstractAn adult, male, neutered, domestic shorthair cat was presented with a 2‐month history of dysphagia and a movable cervical mass. Cytology of the cervical mass was consistent with carcinoma. Thoracic radiographs revealed pleural effusion, cardiomegaly, diffuse patchy interstitial pattern and pulmonary nodules. Fluid analysis of the pleural effusion was consistent with marked septic neutrophilic inflammation, and Pasteurella multocida was isolated. Contrast‐enhanced cervical and thoracic computed tomography scan revealed a cervical mass in the region of the right thyroid lobe, with circumferential invasion of the oesophageal wall and well‐defined pulmonary nodules consistent with distant metastases. Oesophago‐gastroscopy was performed and revealed a proximal, oesophageal, mural mass causing severe intraluminal obstruction. Humane euthanasia was elected. Postmortem examination with histology and immunohistochemistry confirmed a thyroid carcinoma with oesophageal invasion and pulmonary metastases. The oesophageal mucosa was extensively disrupted and ulcerated by the thyroid carcinoma. Additionally, echocardiogram and postmortem examination confirmed cardiomyopathy and congestive heart failure.
Experimental Study on Identification of Aerodynamic Damping Matrix for the Tower of an Operating Wind Turbine by Artificial Excitation
Authors: Wang Zhaowei , Lu Shengxin , Wu Ningyu , Hua Xugang , Chen Chao 
Published: November 2024

ABSTRACTQuantitation of damping is of great significance for the design and condition assessment of wind turbines. The authors' previous theoretical and numerical studies showed that compared with damping ratios, a modal aerodynamic damping matrix can better describe the damping coupling in the fore‐aft (FA) and side‐side (SS) tower motions. In the present study, an improved damping identification method was first proposed to identify this damping matrix with artificial exciters and then verified by using OpenFAST simulations under different excitation frequencies, excitation force amplitudes, and turbulent wind fields. Following the numerical study, a scaled wind turbine model with a geometric scale ratio of 1/75 was carefully designed based on the NREL 5‐MW wind turbine prototype, in which the scaled blade design follows the rule in thrust coefficient similarity. An identification study was performed with this scaled model by a series of wind tunnel tests. The modal aerodynamic damping matrix was identified under steady‐state harmonic excitation in the operating state and compared with the identified results by a free decay method and the theoretical values. The results experimentally confirm the correctness of the aerodynamic damping matrix theory under uniform wind and the feasibility of the improved identification method in practice.
An interior inverse generalized impedance problem for the modified Helmholtz equation in two dimensions
Authors: Ivanyshyn Yaman Olha , Özdemir Gazi 
Published: November 2024

AbstractWe consider the inverse interior problem of recovering the surface impedances of the cavity from sources and measurements placed on a curve inside of it. The uniqueness issue is investigated, and a hybrid method is proposed for the numerical solution. The approach takes advantages of both direct and iterative schemes, such as it does not require an initial guess and has an accuracy of a Newton‐type method. Presented numerical experiments demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the approach.
Numerical solutions and stability analysis of hybrid Casson nanofluid flow with MHD and heat transfer effects
Authors: Ramesh Katta , Lund Liaquat Ali , Fadhel Mustafa Abbas , Jayavel Prakash 
Published: November 2024

AbstractThis research addresses the complex dynamics of hybrid Casson nanoliquids in flow and heat transfer applications, focusing on the interaction between fluid dynamics and thermal phenomena in the presence of magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), viscous dissipation, and Joule heating. The motivation behind this study stems from the need to enhance the efficiency of heat transfer processes in various engineering applications, such as cooling systems and electronic devices, where hybrid nanofluids can offer superior thermal performance compared to conventional fluids. The novelty of this work lies in its comprehensive numerical investigation of a hybrid Casson nanoliquid over a moving permeable surface, incorporating a detailed analysis of MHD effects, viscous dissipation, and Joule heating. Using the Tiwari and Das model to formulate the governing equations, the study employs similarity transformations to convert these equations into a system of ordinary differential equations (ODEs). MATLAB is then used to derive numerical solutions, with a stability analysis ensuring the physical dependability of these solutions. Key findings reveal that the temperature distribution of the hybrid nanoliquid shows a positive correlation with both Prandtl and Hartmann numbers. Additionally, a positive relationship between temperature and the Eckert number is observed. These insights offer valuable guidance for engineers aiming to optimize heat transfer processes using hybrid nanofluids, highlighting their potential for improved thermal management in practical applications.
The influence of lymphatic vessels on nanoparticle distribution and heat transfer within tissue
Authors: Ahmed N. F. , Mansour M. A. , Ibrahim F. S. , Ismaeel A. M. 
Published: November 2024

AbstractThis study analytically investigates the dynamics of nanoparticle transport within a three‐dimensional porous cylinder simulating a lymphatic vessel, without external heat sources. The governing equations and boundary conditions are transformed to yield a system of ordinary differential equations, which are solved numerically using MATLAB built‐in function, bvp4c. Key parameters are visually examined and physically interpreted in relation to temperature, velocity, concentration, and Nusselt number profiles. The study reveals that the distribution of temperature and Nusselt number are maximized by increasing the heat transfer coefficient, whereas NP concentration is increased by decreasing it. Furthermore, the Brownian motion parameter enhances both heat transmission and NP concentration. It is also observed that simpler extravasation into lymphatics decreases tissue nanoparticle levels and heat conduction. Ultimately, optimal intra‐lymphatic nanoparticle distribution pathways are achieved by specifically varying heat transfer and interstitial mass flux patterns. By simulating biological barriers and lymphatic drainage, this model enhances our understanding of the underlying transport mechanisms controlling nanoparticle mobilization.
EU Cooperation with Serbia for Externalization of Asylum
Authors: Djurovic Olga , Djurovic Rados 
Published: November 2024

AbstractSince 2015, the role of the European Union (EU) in Serbia’s domestic migration, asylum, and refugee protection systems has grown significantly. This occurred in the process of Serbia’s accession to the EU, while formal negotiations about Serbia’s accession started in 2014. Serbian institutions refugee reception asylum and migration management systems are propped up by EU support and funding, and Serbian asylum and migration policy, legislative and field practices are aligned with the EU incentives accordingly. The purpose of the paper is to evaluate the scope of EU policy, legal and financial instruments of support to Serbia related to asylum and migration, their purpose, and their effects, and to evaluate their alignment with the EU and international human rights and refugee law, as well as to evaluate their alignment with the principles of UN Global Compact on Refugees.
Tunisia-EU Cooperation in Migration Management: From Mobility Partnership to Containment
Authors: Raach Fatma , Sha’ath Hiba 
Published: November 2024

AbstractThis chapter examines select political, legal, and financial instruments regarding asylum, protection, and mobility between Tunisia and the EU. We have assessed the effectiveness, fairness, and consistency of these instruments, to determine whether they have been successful in achieving their stated aims, have been designed and implemented with accountability mechanisms, and have been aligned with international and regional human rights standards. The chapter concludes that while some of the instruments have achieved their stated results of building the Tunisian state’s capacity to host refugees, they have been lacking in transparency, accountability mechanisms, and compatibility with international and regional human rights laws. With the focus predominantly having been on the containment of refugees to Tunisia through emphasis on border protection programs and readmission agreements, the instruments’ alignment with the Global Compact for Refugees is limited, as there is far more pressure exerted on Tunisia to host a growing number of third country nationals and prevent their onward movement to Europe, with few other initiatives aimed at easing this burden. While the continued absence of asylum legislation has been a barrier to upholding refugees’ rights in the country, we argue that Tunisian officials’ refusal to pass national asylum legislation has been their way of resisting EU pressure to become a safe third country of asylum, as they fear this will pave the way to other EU actions of deporting third country nationals to Tunisia, and to set up offshore asylum processing centres on Tunisian soil. The Chapter critiques the EU’s approach in its mobility partnership with Tunisia to date due to its outsized focus on security and insufficient attention to the needs and perceptions of Tunisian counterparts.
Refugee and Human Rights Law Standards Applicable to Asylum Governance and the Right of Asylum
Authors: Kienast Julia , Tan Nikolas Feith , Vedsted-Hansen Jens 
Published: November 2024

AbstractThis chapter interrogates key standards and trends in asylum governance, exploring the compatibility of emerging asylum regimes with international and regional refugee and human rights law. The chapter takes a global view, while drawing on practice from Bangladesh, Brazil, Canada, Jordan, South Africa and Türkiye, where relevant. First, we briefly set out the most relevant international and regional human rights and refugee law instruments, as well as the relationship between human rights and refugee law in this area and the (potential) impact of the UN GCR on global asylum governance. Second, we provide an account of key binding international and regional standards governing access to asylum, asylum procedures, the scope of protection and content of protection. The following section is devoted to the tension between paradigms of deterrence and containment and admission to territory, including the emergence of pushbacks as a systematic global practice; ‘safe third country’ mechanisms; perceived ‘instrumentalisation’ of asylum; externalisation of asylum; and alternative solutions to moderate containment approaches. Finally, the chapter addresses tendencies related to the temporariness of protection, encompassing differential treatment between groups of protection seekers and refugees, issues of exploitation due to limitations on the right to work and ‘vulnerability’ as a protection issue.
Precarious Lives: Status, Vulnerability and the Right to Work for Protection Seekers in Bangladesh and Jordan
Authors: Hossain M. Sanjeeb , Turner Lewis 
Published: November 2024

AbstractThis chapter brings together, and compares, the research findings of two case studies: Jordan and Bangladesh. In exploring refugee status, vulnerability and (working) rights, we examine how refugee protection is allocated in these two states, both of which, as hosts to large numbers of protection seekers, play important roles in the international refugee regime. Jordan and Bangladesh both deal with deeply protracted refugee situations, but neither have formal ties to international refugee law, although they both engage with some of the norms of the Refugee Convention. In both contexts, the rights of refugees are often unclear, and remain perpetually uncertain. The assigning of various labels to them is a politicised process, which varies over time and by nationality, leading to a precarious status for protection seekers. Based on extensive desk-based research and fieldwork in 2021 and 2022, we relay how refugee status, vulnerability and working rights are dealt with in each context and explore the themes of precarity and (in)formality. Subsequently, we undertake a comparative analysis of the two case studies, exploring contrasts and similarities, and identify the key lessons that can be taken from them, particularly in terms of expanding labour market access for protection seekers.
Status, Vulnerability and Rights in Brazil: Operation Welcome and Its Impacts on Asylum and Social Inclusion of Refugees, Asylum Seekers and Immigrants
Authors: Araújo Natália Medina , Barros Patrícia Ramos 
Published: November 2024

AbstractThis chapter examines migration and asylum governance instruments and how their implementation is affecting status determination, vulnerability, and rights, especially the right to work, in Brazil. Especial interest was devoted to one country-specific asylum governance instrument, “Welcome Operation”, designed to deal with the most significant arrival of refugees in Brazil, caused by the humanitarian crisis in Venezuela. Reflecting upon ASILE’s concerns, the inclusionary and exclusionary aspects of the innovative solutions adopted in Brazil were examined. As for “Welcome Operation”, despite the official labelling being on “welcome”, the militarization of the borders and the security concerns behind the system were made evident. As for the right to work, although formally recognized, asylum seekers and refugees face obstacles in finding formal work and in accessing decent work. In addition, despite prima facie recognition to Venezuelan asylum seekers, protraction in recognizing the refugee status has put pressure on applicants to opt for residency. Finally, structural vulnerabilities that disproportionately affect certain groups—racial, ethnic of gender based—may be reinforced by the same migration governance instruments that are supposed to deal with them.
Identifying Criteria for Complementary Pathways to Provide Sustainable Solutions for Refugees: Two Canadian Case Studies
Authors: Cortinovis Roberto , Fallone Andrew 
Published: November 2024

AbstractThis chapter provides critical insights on the main features and implementation dynamics of two Canadian policy instruments falling within the scope of complementary pathways of admission for refugees: the well-established Private Sponsorship of Refugees (PSR) program, a key component of Canada’s refugee resettlement since the late 1970s, and the Economic Mobility Pathways Pilot (EMPP), an initiative launched in 2018 to enable the resettlement of a relatively small but growing number of refugees through Canada’s existing labour migration channels. The analysis aims to identify a set of normative criteria to assess those two pathways’ alignment with international refugee, human rights and labour law standards. It pays specific attention to aspects of equitable access and procedural fairness in the design and implementation of complementary pathways, including the possibility for refugees to exercise their agency and autonomy when accessing and navigating those programmes. Crucially, the chapter discusses which legal and policy adjustments are needed to ensure that Canadian pathways—as well as similar admission instruments developed elsewhere—not only create safe entry channels for refugees additional to resettlement, but also provide them a clear path towards achieving a durable solution.
Challenging the Notion of Temporary Protection as a Viable Complementary Pathway to Protection: The Case of the Special Zimbabwean Dispensation
Authors: Khan Fatima 
Published: November 2024

AbstractSouth Africa’s decision to provide temporary residence permits to Zimbabwean migrants in 2010 was initially hailed as innovative and applauded by migrants as well as some scholars. However, the reasoning employed by government to introduce the Zimbabwean Dispensation Permit (ZDP), (a temporary protection approach) has since been likened to the concept of a humanitarian logic (Moyo I. J Immigr Refug Stud 18(1):60–74, 2020) which hides behind the draconian intentions of immigration legislation to contain mobility rather than provide protection. Since their introduction, the permits have been subject to several renewals and have been given a final date for expiration of 30 June 2023 with no possibility of further renewal. However, this supposedly final date has also been interrupted by legal challenges. While the dispensation at first glance appears to fall within the complementary pathway framework as envisaged by the Global Compact on Refugees (GCR), the research begs the question of whether the dispensation was simply a pathway to get undocumented Zimbabweans out of an irregular status and therefore not meeting the core objectives of the GCR. The theme of precarity and/or hyper-precarity emerged when the situation of Zimbabweans was investigated through the lens of their legal status and their temporary protection in South Africa.
Navigating the Shadows: Syrians under Temporary Protection, Employment, and Hyper-Precarity in Türkiye
Authors: Şanlıer İlke 
Published: November 2024

AbstractThis chapter explores the employment conditions and hyper-precarity faced by Syrians under temporary protection in Türkiye. Using a qualitative approach, the study examines the legislative frameworks, socio-economic challenges, and the impact of the 2016 EU- Türkiye Statement on the labour market integration of Syrian refugees. Findings reveal significant barriers to formal employment, leading to widespread informal work characterized by low wages, poor working conditions, and limited legal protections. The concept of hyper-precarity is used to analyse the compounded vulnerabilities experienced by refugees. Policy recommendations include simplifying work permit processes, incentivizing formal employment, and implementing comprehensive integration programs aligned with the Global Compact on Refugees principles. The chapter concludes by emphasizing the need for a multi-level governance approach to enhance the socio-economic inclusion of Syrian refugees in Türkiye.

Designing for Human Interactions: An Approach to Service Design
Authors: Parrilli Davide M. 
Published: November 2024

AbstractIn this chapter, we explore the interplay between service design and design culture, tracing the roots of service design within the Italian project-centered design tradition. Through an extensive literature review, we move beyond viewing service design merely as the design of services, emphasizing the importance of interactions. We identify three critical interactions in service design: between users and services, users and touchpoints/interfaces, and users and stakeholders. These interactions are examined through the lenses of dematerialization, servitization, and innovation, highlighting their implications for new service value propositions. We stress the significance of user-stakeholder interactions, analyzing their nature and strength within the context of modernity characterized by liquidity, flexibility, and ambiguity. Ethical considerations in designing for liquid communities and sustainability are underscored. Additionally, we address the often-overlooked aspect of service as experience, and conclude with an operative definition of service design, discussing its challenges and relation to design thinking.
An Ethical Approach to Privacy for Service Design
Authors: Parrilli Davide M. 
Published: November 2024

AbstractThis chapter lays the groundwork for an ethical approach to privacy in service design. It begins by identifying a gap in current service design and human-centered design research regarding informational privacy, and critiques Value Sensitive Design and its practical implications. The author argues that privacy legislation, such as in the EU, is insufficient due to loopholes and its inability to challenge surveillance capitalism. Privacy by Design is also critiqued for its compliance focus without addressing deeper privacy needs in service design. The second part emphasizes the importance of ethics over legislation for protecting informational privacy in service design. The author identifies the need to integrate privacy into service design practice and sustain it through ethics. They explore various moral approaches, ultimately advocating for Luciano Floridi’s information ethics due to its ontological link between information and human identity. This view, supported by intercultural information ethics, positions privacy as a universal human need, culturally specific yet universally relevant.
