Published: October 2024

Abstract
Using a classification scheme for solar-wind type based on the heliocentric distance of the observation, we look at near-perihelion observations from Parker Solar Probe Encounters 4 to 14 to study the sources of the slow Alfvénic solar wind (SASW). Through Potential Field Source Surface (PFSS) modeling and ballistic mapping, we connect streams to their solar source and find that a primary population of SASW comes from low magnetic field strength regions (low-B
0), likely small coronal holes (CHs) and their overexpanded boundaries, while a second population of high field strength (high-B
0) seems to emerge from non-CH structures potentially through interchange reconnection with nearby open field lines. This low-B
0 SASW shows larger expansion than the fast solar wind (FSW) but similar mass flux, potentially indicating additional heating below the critical point, and emergence from a cooler structure, which could lead to slower wind emerging from CH-like structures. We show that this low-B
0 SASW shows stronger preferential acceleration of alpha particles (similar to the FSW) than the high-B
0 SASW, and that this is a velocity-dependent phenomenon as found in previous studies. To have additional confidence in our mapping results, we quantify the error on both the PFSS model and ballistic mapping and discuss how additional multipoint observations of plasma parameters and composition would allow us to better constrain our models and connect the solar wind to its source.
From Solitary Quests to New Folklore. Reading Juhani Karila’s Summer Fishing in Lapland through Cultural Emotions
Authors: Nykänen Elise 
Published: October 2024

Mon article étudie la solitude et le sisu, et leur relation avec les normes culturellement construites du genre et le non-humain dans le roman éco-philosophique Pienen hauen pyydystys (2019 ; Summer Fishing in Lapland, 2023, La pêche au petit brochet, 2021) de Juhani Karila. Mon objectif est de démontrer qu’une approche culturellement sensible des émotions littéraires et des humeurs incarnées peut servir d’outil méthodologique pour l’analyse d’émotions incarnées et spatialement situées, tant dans leur description que dans l’expérience du lecteur. J’accorde une attention particulière à l’utilisation humoristique des conventions associées au genre du Nordic Noir et du « Finnish weird » dans le roman de Karila. Je soutiens qu’en combinant l’atmosphère sombre du Nordic Noir avec le monde panthéiste du folklore finno-ougrien, lequel est présenté de façon humoristique, ainsi que la mythologie de la Laponie, Karila invite ses lecteurs à ressentir et à s’émerveiller devant les plus petites créatures de la nature. L’effet d’émerveillement est obtenu, d’abord, en établissant des comparaisons entre animaux humains et non humains, puis en présentant côte-à-côte des animaux et des forêts en voie de disparition et des créatures imaginaires fantastiques. Le roman montre de manière corporelle les réserves limitées d’énergie ou de sisu (c’est-à-dire « instinct » ou « courage ») dans la chair et le sang d’individus qui tentent d’apprivoiser et de contrôler la nature au lieu de coopérer avec elle.
Safety Assessment on the Proposed Inclusion of Up to 75% Inert Copper in a PARNUT Bolus (RP2059)
Authors:   Food Standards Agency,   Food Standards Scotland
Published: October 2024

An application was submitted to the Food Standards Agency in May 2023 to extend the scope of the conditions of use associated with an existing feedstuff for particular nutritional purposes (PARNUT). Intraruminal boluses can be used to provide a long-term supply of trace elements and vitamins to grazing animals, specifically ruminants with functional rumen. Under this use, they are classified as a PARNUT. Up to 20% inert, non-bioavailable iron can be added to the bolus as a means to increase density and ensure that the bolus is retained in the reticulum of the animal. The applicant proposed the inclusion of up to 75% inert, non-bioavailable copper in a bolus as an alternative to iron. To support the Food Standards Agency (FSA) and Food Standards Scotland (FSS) in evaluating the dossier, the Advisory Committee on Animal Feedingstuffs (ACAF) were asked to review the dossier and the supplementary information from the applicant. The FSA/FSS concluded, based on the ACAF’s advice, that copper in a bolus ballast is inert and that leaching of copper into the rumen is highly unlikely. The copper in a bolus ballast is not bioavailable to the animal, therefore the risk of toxicity to target animals and consumers is low. The use of up to 75% inert copper as an alternative to up to 20% inert iron in a PARNUT bolus poses no additional risk to the target animals, consumers, users or the environment. The views of the ACAF have been taken into account in the safety assessment which represents the opinion of the FSA and FSS.
Safety Assessment on the Safety and Efficacy of an Additive of 6-Phytase (VTR-Phytase) as a Feed Additive for All Avian Species and All Pigs (RP1026/1027)
Authors:   Food Standards Agency,   Food Standards Scotland
Published: October 2024

An application was submitted to the Food Standards Agency in April 2021 from Victory Enzymes GmbH (‘the applicant’) for the new authorisation of an additive (VTR-phytase) containing 6-phytase, under the category ‘zootechnical additives’ and functional group ‘digestibility enhancers’. The additive is proposed to be used at an inclusion rate of 500 U/kg of complete feed (12% moisture) for all avian species and all pigs. To support the Food Standards Agency (FSA) and Food Standards Scotland (FSS) in evaluating the dossier, the Advisory Committee on Animal Feedingstuffs (ACAF) were asked to review the dossier and the supplementary information from the applicant. The FSA/FSS concluded, based on the ACAF’s advice, that the additive was correctly characterised. No conclusion could be reached on the stability and homogeneity of the product. No further concerns were raised for Section II of the dossier. The additive can be considered safe for the target species, consumers and the environment. The active substance is non-irritant to the skin and eyes, but the additive should be regarded as skin and respiratory sensitiser. Given the high dusting potential of the powder formulation, it is advised to limit user/worker exposure through inhalation. VTR-phytase has the potential to be efficacious for all avian species, sows and pigs for fattening, and is efficacious in piglets when used at the proposed dose of 500 U/kg of complete feed with 12% moisture. Conclusions can be extrapolated to all Suidae at the corresponding developmental level. The views of ACAF have been taken into account in the safety assessment which represents the opinion of the FSA and FSS.

Developing a three-strand approach to playfulness in learning development
Authors: Denby Michelle , Zelibe Sam 
Published: October 2024

In this presentation, we outlined the development of a new Academic Skills Service at Oxford International Education Group, which, whilst supporting students from seven university-based international colleges, implemented a three-strand approach to playfulness in learning development. The presentation focused on three examples of playful approaches:

The use of digital and traditional game-based learning within otherwise performance-driven classes.
The creation of playful spaces in the form of extracurricular cross-college book and Maths movies clubs.
The development of a gamified Moodle learning system through activity badging and levelling up.

These initiatives reflect current research regarding the value of playful approaches in student learning and in counterbalancing a predominantly performance-driven higher education environment (Langan and Smart, 2018; Whitton, 2018; Forbes, 2021). Firstly, game-based learning can increase student enjoyment, motivation, and participation in the learning process and promote social belonging (James and Nerantzi, 2019; Forbes, 2021). Secondly, online book/Maths clubs can operate as playful spaces where student learning is supported in a positive social environment and creativity and risk-taking become part of the learning process (Whitton, 2018; James and Nerantzi, 2019; Forbes, 2021). Thirdly, although the gamified Moodle learning system relies on extrinsic rewards, which reflect the performance-led ethos of HE (Nørgård, Toft-Nielsen and Whitton, 2017), it can also increase student motivation in completing learning activities.
This presentation proposed that learning development departments, whilst supporting student outcomes and the student experience, may encounter fewer performance-led constraints compared with programme-based delivery, enabling the utilisation of playful approaches that are otherwise underused in HE.
Not Another PDF, please: Using ThingLink scenarios and Camtasia to build engaging virtual learning objects
Authors: Stinetorf Alice 
Published: October 2024

In this resource showcase, I presented ‘Refine Your Writing: Better Proofreading,’ a multimedia digital learning sequence I created as a Writing Skills Officer in the Academic Skills Service of the University of Southampton. This learning object sprang from my (and colleagues’) dissatisfaction with existing resources about proofreading: these largely elevate the ‘what’ over the ‘how,’ comprising little more than checklists of potential errors to look out for. I set out to create a resource that went beyond cataloguing to instead equip students with active strategies to interact with and enhance their texts.

In developing this resource, I followed best practices conveyed via the Learning Object Review Instrument (LORI), as well as Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principles (Leacock and Nesbit, 2007; CAST, 2018). My presentation outlined how the ThingLink ‘Scenarios’ feature can be used to build inclusive virtual objects through which learners advance at their own pace. Incorporating original videos edited in Camtasia, the result was a resource that was not only accessible, but more likely than a text-based webpage or narrated PowerPoint webinar to sustain learners’ interest. Indeed, I argued that aesthetics and delivery energy must be prioritised in the creation of digital objects whose use is suggested to, but not required of, university learners (i.e., resources maintained by academic skills services, writing centres, and so on).

Although the primary focus was on inclusive virtual objects, my presentation was of interest to conference attendees looking to expand their knowledge of the IT skills, software, and platforms underpinning their resource designs. To support this, I shared my ‘lessons learned’ after diving into ThingLink and Camtasis with this project.
A Comparative Study on the Impact of Fasting on Blood Glucose and Blood Pressure Among Diabetic and Non-Diabetic Individuals During Ramadan, Kurdistan Region, Iraq
Authors: Salih Banaz Abed , Ali Himan Ibrahim , Ramadhan Shireen Hosny 
Published: October 2024

Objective: The primary aim of this research was to evaluate the differential effects of regular and fasting dietary patterns on blood glucose levels and blood pressure among diabetic patients and non-diabetic control group. A comprehensive analysis was conducted to compare physiological responses on fasting versus non-fasting days during the holy Ramadan month.
Methods: This observational study involved 92 participants, with a subset of 38 diabetic patients and 54 non-diabetic control group, aged 19-76 years, who were observed on regular and fasting days. Participants were monitored for pre-prandial, postprandial, evening blood sugar, and fasting blood glucose levels, as well as blood pressure. Statistical analysis was performed using paired sample t-tests to compare mean ± SD between regular and fasting days of both groups. The study cohort consisted of male and female adults diagnosed with type 1 or type 2 diabetes. Exclusion criteria included individuals under 18 years, pregnant women, and patients unable to fast during the study period.
Results: Statistical analysis revealed significant differences in fasting blood glucose levels during Ramadan compared to non-fasting days. In the diabetic group, significant changes were observed in fasting blood glucose levels during Ramadan compared to after Ramadan ( postprandial blood sugar p=0.04, evening blood sugar p=0.019). In contrast, the non-diabetic group also showed significant changes in blood glucose levels during Ramadan compared to after Ramadan (postprandial blood sugar p=0.001, evening blood sugar p=0.020). Blood pressure showed no significant differences between these periods, suggesting that fasting does not alter blood pressure significantly in diabetic individuals. Additionally, a two-way ANOVA demonstrated significant dietary influences on post-Iftar glucose levels in non-diabetics (p<0.001), but not in diabetics, suggesting differential metabolic responses to dietary intake during Ramadan. These findings emphasize the critical need for personalized dietary management and continuous monitoring to optimize diabetic care during fasting.
Conclusion: Fasting significantly influences blood glucose levels in diabeticand non-diabetic individuals but does not affect blood pressure. This study underscores the necessity for personalized medical guidance and balanced meal planning to minimize complications and enhance diabetes management during fasting. Further research is warranted to explore the long-term effects of different fasting practices on diabetic health outcomes.

Published: October 2024

Objective. Early detection of small for gestational age fetuses can prevent infant morbidity and mortality. The objective of this study was to compare the levels of Placental Growth Factor among small for gestational age with appropriate for gestational age mothers and to identify the predictive value of PlGF in detecting pregnancies with Intra uterine growth retardation in local population.
Design. Quasi experimental (comparative cross-sectional) study.
Place & duration of study. Gynecological department of Ayub Medical complex, Abbottabad from August 2021 to January 2022.
Methodology. The studied population included total 68 mothers in last trimester with 34 in each group, i.e. appropriate for gestational age and small for gestational age. Fetal size was estimated either by clinical examination (symphysis fundal height) or estimated fetal weight by ultrasound examination. Sociodemographic along with reproductive history were recorded and blood samples analyzed for PlGF difference in both groups.
Results. The median age of mothers was 32.5 years. The PlGF in small for gestational age was observed in the below normal concentration (mean value = 126.7 pg/mL) while it was observed in normal ranges in appropriate for gestational age mothers (mean value = 24.2 pg/ml) with P-value (<0.001).
Conclusion. Mothers with small for gestational age were having significantly lower placental growth factor levels compared to mothers with appropriate for gestational age.
