Published: September 2024

Abstract Biotechnology and biomanufacturing development has the potential to strengthen the bioeconomy as new opportunities in many areas such as the energy, chemical, agriculture, pharmaceutical, and food industries can be unlocked. Biotechnology and biomanufacturing refer to the technologies that use microorganisms, molecular biology, metabolic engineering, and chemical processing to transform biobased resources (e.g., biomass) into new products. These microorganisms are genetically engineered in such a way that the production of new products happens more efficiently. Creating new products through biotechnology and biomanufacturing will promote shifting from a fossil-based economy to a bioeconomy. However, these new technologies will need to be evaluated from the accessibility, affordability, and sustainability point of view. In this paper, a review of recent studies evaluating the carbon footprint of biotechnologies to produce fuel, bioplastics, and bioproducts is presented. The assumptions, biogenic and coproduct credit subtraction, and co-product treatment methods in the life-cycle assessment (LCA) showed an important impact on the results of the different studies. Besides, integrated biorefineries presented an alternative to improve the environmental impact of bioproducts compared to single-product refineries.

Authors: Sievers Eric J , Heyneman Catherine A 
Published: September 2024

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate recent reports of vaccinations causing or exacerbating multiple sclerosis (MS). DATA SOURCES: Literature was identified through MEDLINE (1966–December 2001). Key search terms included vaccinations, hepatitis B, influenza, tetanus, and multiple sclerosis. DATA SYNTHESIS: Case reports of MS temporally associated with hepatitis B vaccination have prompted some researchers to propose that vaccines may provoke demyelinating diseases. Recently, studies have been performed to determine whether vaccinations are capable of causing or exacerbating MS symptoms. CONCLUSIONS: Recent studies reaffirm that vaccinations do not increase the risk of symptom exacerbation in patients with MS or constitute a causative agent in the disease.

Published: September 2024

Background: Cesarean section (CS) is the most performed operation globally. It’s a clean-contaminated surgery with higher surgical site infections (SSIs) risk. The mortality rate associated with cesarean section in Africa is 50 times greater than in high income settings, 11 women die per 1000 CS in sub-Saharan Africa and 14% of women suffer complication (SSIs). Proper antibiotic use can reduce this burden however effective antibiotics are running out due to inappropriate use. This study aimed to assess the pre-cesarean and post-cesarean antibiotic practices and the rate of SSIs following CS at Mbale regional referral hospital (MRRH)Methods: The study was a retrospective and descriptive cross-sectional on CS mothers between 1st January 2020 and 31st December 2022 at MRRH. Out of the 2432 patient files reviewed, an equal number (104) of women who developed SSIs and those that did not develop SSIs (104) were selected by simple random sampling, total sample size of 208.Result: More than half (n=148; 71.2 %.) received antibiotic prophylaxis. Majority received I.V ceftriaxone (38.0%) within 15minutes (mean duration) before skin incision. 35.1% of 208 that received antibiotic prophylaxis developed SSIs. I.V Metronidazole and Ceftriaxone were the most administered after CS and Oral metronidazole was the most prescribed upon discharge.Conclusion : The rate of SSIs at MRRH was 3% similar to that of Mbarara regional referral hospital at 3.5%. Lack of antibiotics prophylaxis and poor antibiotic prophylaxix timing could explain this rateu underscoring compliance to International, National and Hospital surgical bundles.

Published: September 2024

Abstract
Artificial intelligence (AI) constitutes a new technological revolution that has far-reaching, somehow paradigmatic implications for the economy and as well as for the society – for good and for evil. Given the specific properties of artificial intelligence this article analyses the economic consequences of AI on productivity and growth, the distribution of income as well as on firms, markets, and competition. It argues that artificial intelligence is creating a new economic order that requires new approaches to economic policy and regulation. Issues of how to maintain competition, protect consumer rights, promote AI literacy and preserve ethical standards are at the center of a holistic AI governance.
A gradient typology of gerund clauses: revisiting the internal and external syntax of Portuguese gerund clauses
Authors: Lobo Maria 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
Focusing mostly on European Portuguese, this paper proposes that the internal syntax of Portuguese gerund clauses and the gradience in their degree of defectiveness may be explained by an interplay between their external syntax (locus of merge), agreement relations between embedded Tense and matrix Tense and the presence/absence of an intervening head. We first revisit the distinction between peripheral adverbial gerund clauses and central adverbial gerund clauses and show that their internal syntax correlates with their external syntax: central adverbial gerund clauses are merged in lower positions and appear to be more defective. We derive their defectiveness from the agree relation established between embedded T and matrix T. We then consider predicative gerund clauses and show that they are even more defective and restricted in their aspectual value, lacking a T head. Finally, we consider predicative gerund clauses introduced by como ‘as’ and show that, although they are merged in a low position, they are less defective than central adverbial gerund clauses. We attribute this mismatch between the internal and external syntax of this specific type of gerund clause to the presence of the Predicate head como, which intervenes between matrix T and embedded T and blocks the agreement relation.

Published: September 2024

Abstract
Montagelinien sind häufig sehr komplex und ihre Ausgestaltung hat direkten Einfluss auf Ausbringung und Margen. Die diskrete Eventsimulation (DES) gilt als ein leistungsstarkes Werkzeug zur Planung, Bewertung und Optimierung von Montageprozessen. Dieser Beitrag untersucht einen Ansatz für die Verwendung von DES für die Planung einer Montagelinien auf der Grundlage einer morphologischen Analyse. Im Fallbeispiel steht nicht die Qualität des Simulationsmodells im Vordergrund, sondern die Frage, wann dessen Einsatz sinnvoll ist.

Implementing a budget task force is part of a new approach to administering public finance. Its essence is the management of public funds by objectives. Budgeting prompts a more efficient and transparent management of public funds and allows for efficient long-term economic planning. The article presents solutions for the budget task force in selected EU countries and discusses the implementation of a budget task force in Poland as well as the advantages and disadvantages of using a task force as opposed to sticking with classic budgeting. The practical section of the work shows a solution proposed for the customs administration. It shows those tasks the customs administration is charged with performing, the objectives, and the measures. The summary examines the problems that arose in the context of the performance budget in government administration.
Banking on Housing: Credit Foncier Loans and The State Savings Bank of Victoria, 1890–1941
Authors: Koehler Maren , Ludewig Jasper 
Published: September 2024

Following the collapse of the Australian property boom in the 1880s, public trust in the volatile colonial land market — largely fuelled by overseas speculation — was exceptionally low. Colonial governments and financial institutions attempted to stabilise the economy in part by making ownership of property more accessible to greater portions of the domestic population. In the colony of Victoria, this led to the introduction of a transformative financial instrument: the credit foncier loan. Credit foncier loans are fixed-term loans, secured against the value of land and backed by the government, in which principal and interest are repaid on a regular basis. The State Savings Bank of Victoria (SSBV) established its first credit foncier scheme in the 1890s. Loans covered the cost of land, construction and connection to utilities, as well as one of the many designs preapproved by the bank under the scheme. These designs prescribed suitable materials, methods of construction, fixings and appliances. By the 1920s, around 1,300 so-called bank houses were being constructed in Victoria annually and the SSBV had established a dedicated Building Department to ‘design and supervise the erection of low-cost housing’ for the people of Victoria.
This essay explores the ways in which the credit foncier scheme effectively transformed a Protestant-inspired savings bank into a real estate developer. It examines how the architecture of the bank houses was designed to meet the commercial imperatives of the SSBV: by mitigating risk, acting as collateral, attracting insurance premiums and through the sale of architectural plans produced for the scheme. At the same time, the paper examines how the terms of the credit foncier loan also facilitated homeownership for a financially indebted — and thereby ‘settled’ — 20th-century population, propelling the settler colonial project in Victoria towards a pervasive paradigm of ‘residential capitalism’ based on the commodification of dispossessed Aboriginal land.
O AMOR GREGO NA INGLATERRA TARDO-VITORIANA E EDUARDIANA
Authors: Martins Esteves Anderson 
Published: September 2024

Eufemismo para designar o homoerotismo masculino na Grécia antiga, o “amor grego” e as reflexões a que deu origem foram decisivos na formação do movimento de defesa dos direitos dos homossexuais no final do século XIX e início XX. Na Inglaterra vitoriana tardia e no período eduardiano, algumas vozes se levantaram para se contrapor ao fundamentalismo religioso e ao rígido moralismo social e sexual, a exemplo de John Addington Symonds, Goldsworthy Lowes Dickinson e Edward Morgan Forster, que tomamos como exemplos neste artigo. Nosso objetivo é estudar como pederastia grega, entendida como prática sexual ou como objeto do discurso filosófico, foi ressignificada por esses autores ingleses, de maneira a usarem o “Greek love” como alternativa à patologização da homossexualidade por parte da medicina. Para isso, utilizamos a teoria foucaultiana, com o aporte de David Halperin e Didier Eribon.
