Comparison of Activated Carbons for Removal of Perfluorinated Compounds From Drinking Water
Authors: McNamara James D. , Franco Ralph , Mimna Richard , Zappa Leo 
Published: September 2017

AbstractThis article describes the challenge of treating drinking waters contaminated by perfluorinated compounds, especially perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS). A goal of the study was to establish the relative effectiveness for perfluorinated compound removal by the two primary types of granular activated carbons (GACs) commonly used in the treatment of municipal drinking water: bituminous coal‐based re‐agglomerated GAC and coconut‐based direct activated GAC. The effectiveness of GACs in removing PFOA and PFOS to nondetectable levels is demonstrated through the use of rapid small‐scale column testing. Results demonstrate that bituminous coal‐based re‐agglomerated carbons provide considerably greater removal capacity of the targeted compounds compared with the coconut‐based direct activated carbon. In support of these findings, summaries of additional third‐party test work and field installations are cited. In addition, the authors provide an overview of reactivation of activated carbon to improve the economics of the technology.
Alternative rum til læring?
Authors: Lyngsø Anita , Nielsen Camilla Kirketerp 
Published: September 2017

Innovative projekter, der gennemføres som online- og spilbaseret læring på sygeplejeuddannelsen og dyrlægeuddannelsen, har intentioner om at udvikle digitale alternative læringsrum. To uafhængige igangværende etnografiske studier, der følger projekternes praktiske forløb og læringssituationer, identificerer et interessant empirisk tematisk slægtskab: En tendens til utilsigtet skolificering. Skolificering som tema og fælles tendens er omdrejningspunktet for denne artikel. De nye alternative læringsrum skal styrke forholdet mellem teori og praksis, øge fleksibiliteten for uddannelsernes aktører samt bidrage til øget grad af studenterstyret undervisning og studenteraktivitet. Analyserne viser, at de alternative læringsrum faktisk producerer nye strategier og muligheder, men at strategier kendt fra de traditionelle læringsrum også tydeligt reproduceres. Analyserne fokuserer på konflikten mellem de digitale alternativer og de faktiske undervisningsbetingelser og fremdrager forskellige perspektiver på de innovative projekters tendens til skolificering.
Når det innovative projekt er at gøre skolen til en hverdagsaktivitet – om skoleudvikling i Nordghana
Authors: Trolle Line Agerlin 
Published: September 2017

Artiklen baseres på et feltarbejde, hvor jeg i foråret 2015 fulgte et skoleprojekt i den ghanesiske udviklingsorganisation School for Life (SfL). Feltstudierne gjorde det nærværende, at innovation i den nordghanesiske sammenhæng frem for alt handler om at gøre det at gå i skole til en hverdagsaktivitet. Da jeg i mine studier samtidig satte fokus på de frivillige facilitatorers praksis, fik jeg levende indtryk af, at den egentlige intervention og nyudvikling af undervisningsstrategier og nye rutiner nok så meget handlede om at integrere skole- og hverdagsliv i hinanden, synliggøre skolen i lokalsamfundet og etablere opbakning blandt forældrene. Når jeg i artiklen går tættere på disse problemstillinger, refererer jeg til feltprotokoller fra de måneder, jeg fulgte SfL’s facilitatorers undervisning, forberedelse og skolerelaterede gøremål. Men jeg refererer også til studier i materialer fra organisationen, ghanesisk uddannelsespolitik og internationalt udviklingsarbejde samt samtaler med facilitatorer og nøglepersoner fra organisationsniveau. På den baggrund fokuserer artiklen på de frivillige faci- litatorers professionalisering, men den viser samtidig en innovativ praksis, hvor det at skabe kvalitet i uddannelse og holde skole i denne lokale kontekst også handler om at initiere en ny tradition for uddannelse.
Continuing innovation and development of teacher expertise – the continual transformation of personal knowledge for teaching
Authors: Wieser Clemens 
Published: September 2017

Teachers develop their expertise progressively through experiences of teaching and reflecting on these experiences. When teaching in class, personal educational knowledge of teachers provides the horizon to maintain their performance, to interpret classroom events, and to react to them. Out of class, personal educational knowledge is used to reflect upon personal performance and classroom events, and these reflections modify orientations for teaching. Personal educational knowledge incorporates concepts for teaching and reflection. How personal educational knowledge of teachers is structured and used in and out of teaching is subject to discussion in educational research to date, and empirical research yet struggles to trace how personal educational knowledge is transformed for teaching. Sensitising conceptual perspectives may clarify how knowledge is transformed for teaching and how knowledge and knowing differ.
Projekt InterTværs og interprofessionalitet som det innovative match
Authors: Nielsen Cathrine Sand , Kramer Tina 
Published: September 2017

Uddannelsesprojektet InterTværs er et bud på fremtidens velfærdsuddannelser og betragtes som et svar på omverdenens krav om sammenhængende patient-/borgerforløb. I projektet forskydes den konventionelle mono-faglighed til en interprofessionel og tværsektoriel orientering mod samarbejde omkring patientforløb. I uddannelsesmæssig forstand betyder det, at projekt InterTværs’ fokus på det klinisk-praktiske samarbejde udfordrer såvel det organisatoriske som pædagogiske plan. Projekt InterTværs skal således både fokusere på organisationsudvikling og praktisk drift af studieforløbet og på interprofessionel fag- og pædago- gikudvikling. Projekt InterTværs følges i to igangværende etnografiske studier med fokus på henholdsvis involverede studenter- og supervisionsteam.
IT-innovationer fra kontorlandskaber til læringslandskaber
Authors: Kolbæk Raymond 
Published: September 2017

Artiklen er baseret på empiriske studier af it-innovationer i sygeplejefeltet og analyserer karakteristiske udviklingstræk og konsekvenser for sygeplejerskeuddannelsen fra midt 1950’erne og frem til i dag. Over tid peger analysen på en bevægelse, hvor computere startede som en innovation i kontorlandskaberne over skolebibliotekerne for senere at ende i læringslandskaberne. Analysen fokuserer på ”Sygeplejerskeuddannelsen i Danmark”, men samtidig inddrages sundhedssektoren som den omkringliggende kontekst. Undervejs skifter optikken mellem teknologiernes plads i uddannelsen og i hospitalet. Det gøres tydeligt, hvordan udviklingen af sygeplejerskeuddannelsen som professionsuddannelse påvirkes af nye digitale praktikker, men også af sundhedsfagenes og uddannelsesfeltets egne logikker.
Les bibliothèques et le développement durable
Authors: Guertin Pascale , Poirier-Rouillard Valérie 
Published: September 2017

Toits verts, systèmes géothermiques, matériaux durables, recyclage et réutilisation sont des termes qui viennent spontanément à l’esprit lorsqu’il est question de développement durable.
Mais que signifie véritablement ce concept ? Comment se manifeste-t-il, concrètement, dans notre environnement, dans nos habitudes de vie ? L’écosystème qu’est la bibliothèque laisse de plus en plus de place aux préceptes du développement durable, par sa nature citoyenne et sa mission de partage du savoir, mais aussi d’inspiration et d’idées nouvelles.
Autant au Québec qu’à l’international, divers projets de bibliothèques vertes, axées sur les besoins et le développement de leur communauté, abondent et se démarquent, laissant place à un discours nouveau, où s’entremêlent harmonieusement les considérations et impératifs actuels, sans compromis quant aux besoins des générations futures.
Le présent texte reprend des éléments du travail réalisé dans le cadre du cours SCI6372 – Aspects internationaux et comparés de l’information donné à l’été 2016 par Réjean Savard (qui a fait suite au voyage d’études organisé par l’EBSI en Allemagne, à Prague et à Strasbourg à l’été 2016) et propose un survol des initiatives de quelques bibliothèques dans le monde et invite à réfléchir au rôle de la bibliothèque verte.

Civil society organizations and social innovation. How and to what extent are they influencing social and political change?
Authors: Andion Carolina , Moraes Rubens Lima , Gonsalves Aghata 
Published: September 2017

This study aims to understand how civil society organizations (CSOs) perform and influence public arenas. The focus of this paper is the transformative scope of social innovation initiatives promoted by CSOsin two public arenas in Brazil: the fight against electoral corruption and the protection of children and adolescents’ rights. The research consisted of three stages: 1) controversy mapping to understand the configuration ofthese public arenas and compare the trajectories of the public problems studied; 2) observation of the “field of experience” of some CSOs that perform in these arenas; and 3) analysis of “political grammars” produced in public arenas, connecting them to the performance of the CSOs analysed. The results reveal how social innovation emerges, develops and is disseminated in the public arenas studied and highlights the similarities and differences between the two cases, discussing the practices and role of CSOs in these processes. As conclusions, the study indicates that social innovation initiatives promoted by CSOs are influenced by and have an effect on the “political culture” in the public arenas. Additionally, this work states that the regime of CSOs’ engagement in the public sphere and their performance have consequences in terms of influence on social and political changes. In the cases studied, when CSOs go beyond the logic of coproduction of public services and engage in “public inquiry” processes, their capacity to inspire social transformation seems to be enhanced.

Local development through social and territorial innovation: An exploratory case study
Authors: Bernardino Susana , Santos J. Freitas 
Published: September 2017

This investigation aims to examine innovation in a selected successful Portuguese social venture (The Cooperative Terra Chã) and to analyse the extent to which innovative social ventures are able to contributeto local development. Specifically, the paper highlights the activities developed by the social organization in response to the needs of particular (micro) segments of society and illustrates which key factors triggered thesuccess of the examined social initiative. A case study methodology is used to describe the distinctive characteristics and strategies pursued by the managers of the social venture and to establish the links between the opportunities for social innovation and the territory. The data collected for the study were triangulated from desk research and from in-depth semi-structured interviews conducted with privileged actors.The results show that social innovation is a viable strategy to revitalize the region’s socio-economic tissue, through the creation of new economic activities and consequently local employment that are based on the village’straditional activities. This strategy seeks to achieve sustainable economic growth and well-being for the people of the region. However, to be successful, the strategy demands a deep knowledge of existing social problems as well as the availability of endogenous local resources and capabilities for use by social entrepreneurs. In this context, social innovation should be a participatory process, in which different entities and the beneficiaries of social programs were active players.

Published: September 2017

BackgroundMelissococcus plutoniusis an entomopathogenic bacterium that causes European foulbrood (EFB), a honeybee (Apis melliferaL.) disease that necessitates quarantine in some countries. In Czechia, positive evidence of EFB was absent for almost 40 years, until an outbreak in the Krkonose Mountains National Park in 2015. This occurrence of EFB gave us the opportunity to study the epizootiology of EFB by focusing on the microbiome of honeybee workers, which act as vectors of honeybee diseases within and between colonies.MethodsThe study included worker bees collected from brood combs of colonies (i) with no signs of EFB (EFB0), (ii) without clinical symptoms but located at an apiary showing clinical signs of EFB (EFB1), and (iii) with clinical symptoms of EFB (EFB2). In total, 49 samples from 27 honeybee colonies were included in the dataset evaluated in this study. Each biological sample consisted of 10 surface-sterilized worker bees processed for DNA extraction. All subjects were analyzed using conventional PCR and by metabarcoding analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene V1–V3 region, as performed through Illumina MiSeq amplicon sequencing.ResultsThe bees from EFB2 colonies with clinical symptoms exhibited a 75-fold-higher incidence ofM. plutoniusthan those from EFB1 asymptomatic colonies.Melissococcus plutoniuswas identified in all EFB1 colonies as well as in some of the control colonies. The proportions ofFructobacillus fructosus,Lactobacillus kunkeei,Gilliamella apicola,Frischella perrara, andBifidobacterium coryneformewere higher in EFB2 than in EFB1, whereasLactobacillus melliswas significantly higher in EFB2 than in EFB0.Snodgrassella alviandL. melliventris,L. helsingborgensisand,L. kullabergensisexhibited higher proportion in EFB1 than in EFB2 and EFB0. The occurrence ofBartonella apisandCommensalibacter intestiniwere higher in EFB0 than in EFB2 and EFB1.Enterococcus faecalisincidence was highest in EFB2.ConclusionsHigh-throughput Illumina sequencing permitted a semi-quantitative analysis of the presence ofM. plutoniuswithin the honeybee worker microbiome. The results of this study indicate that worker bees from EFB-diseased colonies are capable of transmittingM. plutoniusdue to the greatly increased incidence of the pathogen. The presence ofM. plutoniussequences in control colonies supports the hypothesis that this pathogen exists in an enzootic state. The bacterial groups synergic to both the colonies with clinical signs of EFB and the EFB-asymptomatic colonies could be candidates for probiotics. This study confirms thatE. faecalisis a secondary invader toM. plutonius; however, other putative secondary invaders were not identified in this study.
Revealing Layers of Pristine Oriented Crystals Embedded Within Deep Ice Clouds Using Differential Reflectivity and the Copolar Correlation Coefficient
Authors: Keat W. J. , Westbrook C. D. 
Published: September 2017

AbstractPristine ice crystals typically have high aspect ratios (≫ 1), have a high density and tend to fall preferentially with their major axis aligned horizontally. Consequently, they can, in certain circumstances, be readily identified by measurements of differential reflectivity (ZDR), which is related to their average aspect ratio. However, because ZDR is reflectivity weighted, its interpretation becomes ambiguous in the presence of even a few, larger aggregates or irregular polycrystals. An example of this is in mixed‐phase regions that are embedded within deeper ice cloud. Currently, our understanding of the microphysical processes within these regions is hindered by a lack of good observations. In this paper, a novel technique is presented that removes this ambiguity using measurements from the 3 GHz Chilbolton Advanced Meteorological Radar in Southern England. By combining measurements of ZDR and the copolar correlation coefficient (ρhv), we show that it is possible to retrieve both the relative contribution to the radar signal and “intrinsic” ZDR (
) of the pristine oriented crystals, even in circumstances where their signal is being masked by the presence of aggregates. Results from two case studies indicate that enhancements in ZDR embedded within deep ice clouds are typically produced by pristine oriented crystals with
values between 3 and 7 dB (equivalent to 5–9 dB at horizontal incidence) but with varying contributions to the radar reflectivity. Vertically pointing 35 GHz cloud radar Doppler spectra and in situ particle images from the Facility for Airborne Atmospheric Measurements BAe‐146 aircraft support the conceptual model used and are consistent with the retrieval interpretation.
Development of a Polar Stratospheric Cloud Model Within the Community Earth System Model: Assessment of 2010 Antarctic Winter

Published: September 2017

AbstractTo simulate polar stratospheric clouds (PSCs) during the Antarctic winter of 2010, we have developed a PSC model within the Community Earth System Model framework that includes detailed microphysics of sulfuric aerosols and three types of PSCs: supercooled ternary solution (STS), nitric acid trihydrate (NAT), and ice. Our model includes two major NAT formation mechanisms, both of which are essential to reproduce the PSC and gas phase chemical features in the 2010 Antarctic winter. Homogeneous nucleation of NAT from STS produces NAT particles with sizes near 8 μm, which are important to properly simulate denitrification and the gas phase HNO3 observed by the Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS). Heterogeneous nucleation of NAT on ice particles or ice particles on NAT and subsequent evaporation of the ice produces NAT particles with sizes from submicrometers to a few micrometers. These particles account for the large backscattering ratio from NAT observed by the Cloud‐Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observations satellite, especially in the midwinter season. Adding temperature fluctuations from gravity waves is important to produce larger number density and higher backscattering ratio from ice and NAT particles. However, our model needs a better representation of waves to improve the backscattering ratio and gas phase HNO3 compared with observations. Our model also includes homogeneous nucleation of ice from STS and heterogeneous nucleation of ice on NAT. The model reproduces the gas phase H2O during the winter within the uncertainty of the MLS observations.

AbstractEarthquake‐induced landslide (EQIL) inventories are essential tools to extend our knowledge of the relationship between earthquakes and the landslides they can trigger. Regrettably, such inventories are difficult to generate and therefore scarce, and the available ones differ in terms of their quality and level of completeness. Moreover, access to existing EQIL inventories is currently difficult because there is no centralized database. To address these issues, we compiled EQIL inventories from around the globe based on an extensive literature study. The database contains information on 363 landslide‐triggering earthquakes and includes 66 digital landslide inventories. To make these data openly available, we created a repository to host the digital inventories that we have permission to redistribute through the U.S. Geological Survey ScienceBase platform. It can grow over time as more authors contribute their inventories. We analyze the distribution of EQIL events by time period and location, more specifically breaking down the distribution by continent, country, and mountain region. Additionally, we analyze frequency distributions of EQIL characteristics, such as the approximate area affected by landslides, total number of landslides, maximum distance from fault rupture zone, and distance from epicenter when the fault plane location is unknown. For the available digital EQIL inventories, we examine the underlying characteristics of landslide size, topographic slope, roughness, local relief, distance to streams, peak ground acceleration, peak ground velocity, and Modified Mercalli Intensity. Also, we present an evaluation system to help users assess the suitability of the available inventories for different types of EQIL studies and model development.
Post‐LGM Grounding‐Line Positions of the Bindschadler Paleo Ice Stream in the Ross Sea Embayment, Antarctica
Authors: Bart Philip J. , Anderson John B. , Nitsche Frank 
Published: September 2017

AbstractThe West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) retreated more than 1,000 km since last grounding at the Ross Sea outer continental shelf. Here we show an interpretation of former grounding line positions from a new large‐area multibeam survey and a regional grid of chirp cross‐sectional data from the Whales Deep Basin in eastern Ross Sea. The basin is a paleo‐glacial trough that was occupied by the Bindschadler Ice Stream when grounded ice advanced to the shelf edge during the Last Glacial Maximum. These new geophysical data provide unambiguous evidence that the WAIS occupied at least seven grounding line positions within 60 km of the shelf edge. Four of seven grounding zone wedges (GZWs) are partly exposed over large areas of the trough. The overlapping stratal arrangement created a large‐volume compound GZW. Some of the groundings involved local readvance of the grounding line. Subsequent to these seven outer continental shelf groundings, the ice sheet retreated more than 200 km towards Roosevelt Island on the middle continental shelf. The major retreat across the middle continental shelf is recorded by small‐scale moraine ridges that mantle the top of GZW7, and these are suggestive of relatively continuous grounding line recession. The results indicate that retreat was considerably more complex than was possible to reconstruct with reconnaissance‐level data. The added details are important to climate models, which must first be able to reproduce the recent retreat pattern in all of its complexities to improve confidence in model predictions of the system's future response.
