Sport for Development: A Social Movement Captured by Elites?
Authors: Moustakas Louis 
Published: April 2024

AbstractOver the last 30 years there has been a growth of actors involved in Sport for Development (SFD). Though some of these actors aligned with prevailing power structures, others challenged existing power structures. In that sense, the SFD movement became disparate and multi-faceted and could be seen as an emerging area that could challenge dominant structures. With time, the SFD sector has coalesced around a variety of formal structures, and these more ‘rebellious’ tendencies have been dampened. Though some have argued that these structures show adaptation or professionalisation, using Olúfẹ́mi O. Táíwò’s work as a foundation, I will argue that these changes emerged as part of a purposeful process of elite capture. In particular, elite capture has occurred in three interconnected ways. First, elite actors established standards, policies and guidelines that aligned with their interests. Second, elites imposed those standards by funding and controlling projects in the field. Finally, elites legitimised the standards they set by taking over avenues for knowledge production within SFD. Taken together, elite capture limits the ability of SFD actors to challenge the systemic factors that impede their participants and communities. To escape this, as Táíwò argues, means more than just offering representation to ‘marginalised’ groups. New structures outside of the constraints of existing ones are needed.

Abstract
How and why early hunter–gatherers expanded into the challenging environments of the Tibetan Plateau during the Pleistocene remain largely unexplained. The discovery of the archaeological site of Nwya Devu, characterized by lithic blade production, brings new evidence of human expansion to high elevations ca. 40–30 ka. The blade assemblage currently lacks technological antecedents in East Asia. During Marine Isotope Stage 3, the surrounding lowlands to the Plateau were dominated by a distinct type of industry broadly named “core and flake.” It is suggested that the Nwya Devu blade assemblage derives from traditions in the eastern Eurasian Steppe, a clustered hub for Upper Paleolithic blade technology. In contrast to the East Asian lowlands, the Tibetan Plateau shares a number of environmental similarities with North and Central Asia such as low temperature and humidity, long winters, strong seasonality, and grassland landscapes. Blade and core-and-flake technologies tend to be associated with different environments in eastern Asia. We hypothesize that this geographic distribution indicates different sets of behavioral adaptations that map onto distinct ecozones and are relevant to human expansion to the Tibetan Plateau during Marine Isotope Stage 3. To evaluate the working model, we characterized the environmental parameters for both blade and core-and-flake technologies in eastern Asia during the period. The results show that environmental conditions on the Plateau and at the Nwya Devu site align with those of blade assemblages documented in the Eurasian Steppe and contrast with those of core-and-flake assemblages. Blade technology is strongly associated with low-temperature environments. These findings suggest that hunter–gatherers from the steppe belt may have benefited from their behaviorally adaptive advantages when moving into the highland environments of the Tibetan Plateau, 40–30 ka.
Zur Idee eines Menschenrechts auf Tierschutz
Authors: Albersmeier Frauke 
Published: April 2024

ZusammenfassungMenschen sind als Bürger, Konsumenten und Mitmenschen umfassend in Verhalten gegenüber nichtmenschlichen Tieren verstrickt, das ihren reflektierten moralischen Vorstellungen widerspricht. Es existieren einige wenige Ansätze, diese Lage als eine Menschenrechtsverletzung zu analysieren und ein Menschenrecht auf Tierschutz einzufordern. Der vorliegende Text unterzieht diese Idee einer kritischen Prüfung. Dass der Ethik der Mensch-Tier-Beziehung menschenrechtliche Relevanz zukommt, soll dabei nicht bestritten werden. Am Beispiel des Befriedungsrechts ist etwa zu sehen, wie bereits anerkannte Menschenrechte zur Durchsetzung ethischer Interessen in Bezug auf nichtmenschliche Tiere genutzt werden. Dieser Artikel stellt vorhandene Ansätze zur Darlegung eines separaten Menschenrechts auf Tierschutz vor und geht der Frage nach, von welchen ethischen Voraussetzungen ein solches Recht abhängig und wie es zu formulieren wäre. Es wird gezeigt, dass der Versuch, dem Menschenrecht auf Tierschutz einen über das Recht auf Gewissensfreiheit hinausgehenden Gehalt zuzuweisen, mit grundlegenden Schwierigkeiten konfrontiert ist. Schließlich wird vorgeschlagen, die menschenrechtliche Relevanz gegenwärtiger Probleme der Mensch-Tier-Beziehung eher in der Störung der Bedingungen der Möglichkeit von Gewissensfreiheit zu suchen und das Recht auf Tierschutz als ein besonderes Recht auf Bildung zu konzipieren.
Zur Funktion der „kleinen“ Rache in Prozessen moralischer Wiederherstellung – Warum Verzeihen und Rache nicht immer Gegensätze sind
Authors: Lotter Maria-Sibylla 
Published: April 2024

ZusammenfassungAusgehend von der Beobachtung, dass die Rache heute von der Philosophie entweder ganz ignoriert oder mit ihren exzessiv gewalttätigen Formen gleichgesetzt und moralisch verurteilt wird, möchte der Beitrag ein differenzierteres Bild der Rache skizzieren. Dabei wird auch die Vorstellung kritisiert, Rache und Verzeihen seien in der sozialen Realität einander ausschließende Gegensätze. Im ersten Teil wende ich mich, ausgehend von verschiedenen neueren philosophischen Arbeiten, gegen ein essentialistisches und idealisiertes Verständnis des Verzeihens. Ich plädiere dafür, bei der Bewertung von Verzeihen und Rache auch ihre jeweilige Rolle mit Blick auf die Aufrechterhaltung oder Ausgleichung ungleicher Machtverhältnisse und ihre Funktion für die Selbstermächtigung von Opfern von Übergriffen und die Wiederherstellung ihrer Selbstachtung zu berücksichtigen. Im letzten Teil zeige ich an drei Beispielen, dass ein Prozess der moralischen Reparatur nicht selten kleine Racheelemente integrieren muss, um das Verzeihen zu ermöglichen.

AbstractOxygen (O2)-sensing matrices are promising tools for the live monitoring of extracellular O2 consumption levels in long-term cell cultures. In this study, ratiometric O2-sensing membranes were prepared by electrospinning, an easy, low-cost, scalable, and robust method for fabricating nanofibers. Poly(ε-caprolactone) and poly(dimethyl)siloxane polymers were blended with tris(4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline) ruthenium(II) dichloride, which was used as the O2-sensing probe, and rhodamine B isothiocyanate, which was used as the reference dye. The functionalized scaffolds were morphologically characterized by scanning electron microscopy, and their physicochemical profiles were obtained by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and water contact angle measurement. The sensing capabilities were investigated by confocal laser scanning microscopy, performing photobleaching, reversibility, and calibration curve studies toward different dissolved O2 (DO) concentrations. Electrospun sensing nanofibers showed a high response to changes in DO concentrations in the physiological-pathological range from 0.5% to 20% and good stability under ratiometric imaging. In addition, the sensing systems were highly biocompatible for cell growth promoting adhesiveness and growth of three cancer cell lines, namely metastatic melanoma cell line SK-MEL2, breast cancer cell line MCF-7, and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma cell line Panc-1, thus recreating a suitable biological environment in vitro. These O2-sensing biomaterials can potentially measure alterations in cell metabolism caused by changes in ambient O2 content during drug testing/validation and tissue regeneration processes.

Published: April 2024

AbstractNurses face complex stressors in their work including routine exposure to human suffering and potentially traumatic events. Consequently, nurses are at risk of moral distress, workplace burnout, and compassion fatigue. The aim of this study was to design, develop, and test a health-promoting resilience education program for nurses. The research questions were as follows: (1) Are resilience scores of nurses affected by resilience education? (2) How do nurses understand resilience in the context of their workplace? (3) What role does resilience play in nurses’ mental health? (4) Is single-session targeted resilience education effective in maintaining resilience scores over time? Nurses in this study are moderately resilient as noted by their pre-education scores on the Resilience Scale (RS) and the Resilience at Work (RS@W) Scale. Resilience scores significantly increased immediately after resilience education and were sustained over time. Nurses have an array of health strategies for maintaining their resilience; these were further enhanced through experiential education. Increased resilience scores resulted in changes in nurses’ behavior and thinking, and new strategies were integrated into the nurses’ “toolbox” of cognitive and behavioral skills. Building and sustaining a strong foundation of resilience and well-being is key for nurses to maintain mental health, cope with work-related stressors, and provide safe competent patient care. Study outcomes offer opportunities to change the narrative from nursing as perilous and risky to one of strength, flourish, and growth. Beyond individual resilience, system-level change is required to support the well-being of healthcare personnel.

Authors: Adams Vikki , Jones Ashley , Partner Hannah , Partner Richard 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
Purpose
Underwater Hockey (UWH) is an upcoming sport involving limited contact between players. To date there are no published estimates of injuries in UWH. The aim of this study was to provide estimate on overall injury incidence and injury period prevalence in a sample of UWH players.

Methods
A cross-sectional study design with a convenience sample of UWH players recorded injuries sustained over the previous 12-month period. A total of 441 UWH players completed the study online questionnaire. Descriptive statistics with confidence intervals, alongside a one variable Chi squared test (χ2) or independent sample t-test.

Results
The overall injury incidence was 2.33/1000 h. Wrist, hand, and finger injuries combined (31.8%) were the most frequently injured regions followed by isolated shoulder injuries (16.8%). Contact with another player was the most frequent injury mechanism (43.5%) attributed, whilst the most common injury duration was between 8 and 28 days (35.9%).

Conclusion
This is the first study to report injury data in a sample of UWH players. Incidence rates were similar to other water-based sports such as endurance swimming. The high prevalence of wrist, hand and finger and shoulder injuries suggest that future injury prevention programmes should look to include upper limb-focussed risk reduction strategies.

Published: April 2024

AbstractEfficient and precise genomic deletion shows promise for investigating the function of proteins in plant research and enhancing agricultural traits. In this study, we tested the PRIME-Del (PDel) strategy using a pair of prime editing guide RNAs (pegRNAs) that targeted opposite DNA strands and achieved an average deletion efficiency of 55.8% for 60 bp fragment deletions at six endogenous targets. Moreover, as high as 84.2% precise deletion efficiency was obtained for a 2000 bp deletion at the OsGS1 site in transgenic rice plants. To add the bases that were unintentionally deleted between the two nicking sequences, we used the PDel/Syn strategy, which introduced multiple synonymous base mutations in the region that had to be patched in the RT template. The PDel/Syn strategy achieved an average of 58.1% deletion efficiency at six endogenous targets, which was higher than the PDel strategy. The strategies presented in this study contribute to achieving more accurate and flexible deletions in transgenic rice plants.
Development of a bio-inspired wound model for debridement training

Published: April 2024

AbstractWound debridement is commonplace in expediting wound healing in the clinic. Despite this, there are limited resources available for simulation training for practitioners prior to facing real-life patients. Typically, citrus peels or porcine skin are employed in a vain attempt to improve debridement proficiency, yet these fail to provide a realistic experience of the textures and consistencies of wounds. Therefore, there is a clear unmet need for a safe and effective tool that can facilitate hands-on learning under the instruction of an experienced debrider. To fill this niche, a life-like wound model was designed and developed, featuring leathery necrotic eschar, an intermediary sloughy layer, and a rough granulation tissue in the bottommost layer, all within a healthy skin base. The healthy tissue portion of the model was designed to exhibit similar mechanical properties to those found in human skin. Likewise, the sloughy layer was viscous enough to remain within the model under static conditions yet could be removed using any appropriate debriding tool synonymous with real slough. Mechanical testing of the necrotic eschar revealed brittle fracture behaviour, akin to what is observed in patients. Each layer of the wound model provided the visual and haptic feedback of how it would look and feel to debride a patient’s wound in the clinic, giving invaluable experience for potential trainees in a safe and effectual way. It is envisaged that these models can be developed in a personalised way to suit the individual needs of the user, such as incorporating underlying models of bone or tendon, while retaining the key elements of the wound, which make it successful. This model is proposed as an important step forward in bridging the gap between becoming a newly qualified debriding practitioner and encountering the first wound in the clinic, subsequently improving the confidence of the debrider and enhancing patient outcomes.
Heat transfer characteristics of a heat-recovery boiler built based on a modular mini boiler
Authors: Ahn Joon 
Published: April 2024

AbstractThe objective of this study is to design a heat-recovery boiler for a 1 MW-class gas engine-based cogeneration system intended to recover heat from engine exhaust gas. To accommodate high-pressure applications, a water tube-type boiler is selected. For ensuring effective water circulation within the boiler, an innovative modular-type boiler based on the mini-boiler concept is developed. This boiler comprises finned tube-type risers, and their heat-transfer characteristics are measured and compared with the conventional correlation used in the design process. Additionally, an inlet guide vane is developed to address the temperature nonuniformity resulting from the shape mismatch between the gas engine outlet and heat-recovery boiler inlet. The performance of the proposed boiler was evaluated by integrating it into an experimental rig. The diamond-shaped inlet guide vane, which was designed by computational fluid dynamics, facilitated a uniform temperature distribution. However, the temperature became nonuniform downstream owing to the influence of a downcomer. Although the modular heat-recovery boiler effectively produced steam from gas engine exhaust gasses, its heat-transfer performance in the downstream section was lower than expected, necessitating additional heat-transfer area.
The significance of conceptualism in McDowell
Authors: Hsu Shao-An 
Published: April 2024

AbstractTo explain perceptual justification, McDowell proposes so-called “conceptualism,” the view that the content of experience is all conceptual. Tony Cheng, in his book, John McDowell on Worldly Subjectivity (2021), suggests that McDowell can do without conceptualism. To support his suggestion, Cheng makes several contentions against McDowell’s thesis of the co-extensiveness of conceptuality and rationality. In this commentary, I focus on two most crucial contentions Cheng makes: (i) conceptualism is an extra commitment for explaining perceptual justification and (ii) it can be replaced by a suitable structural constraint on non-conceptual content. First, I clarify McDowell’s co-extensiveness thesis and his conception of the conceptual. Then, based on my clarifications, I defend conceptualism against the two contentions.

Abstract
Objectives
To analyze Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) indicators for the Health Systems of Costa Rica, Spain, and Italy, focusing on year-to-year changes.

Study design and methods
Examining each country’s healthcare systems utilizes a value-for-money approach, aiming to outline their healthcare expenditures relative to the OECD average, while also assessing the value obtained from these investments. This involves contrasting reported indicator values for each country and the OECD average during a year close to the last decade’s outset (year 1) with data around 2020 (year 2).

Results
Results obtained are based on different indicators and the countries being examined. Costa Rica stood out with lowest healthcare investment, while Chile had the less population coverage for a set core of services. Italy and Spain achieved 100% healthcare coverage. All four regions reported decreased tobacco consumption in terms of non-medical determinants of health. Costa Rica showcased the highest vaccination coverage and experienced the most significant increase in this aspect within healthcare utilization. In the context of resource accessibility, waiting times from specialist assessment to treatment increased the most for hip replacement procedures in Chile, Costa Rica, Italy, and Spain. The Pharmaceutical Consumption analysis highlighted agents acting on the Renin-Angiotensin system as the most widely consumed category.

Conclusion
This analysis helps reveal the workings of diverse health systems, allowing us to pinpoint areas for potential improvement within each region. By examining the achievements and obstacles faced by other nations, policymakers and healthcare stakeholders acquire a valuable foundation on which to enact reforms.

Published: April 2024

AbstractService Quality (SQ) of passenger ferries greatly influences passengers' travel experience. The purpose of this article is to identify the passenger ferry's SQ factors and evaluate them using the Relative Importance Index (RII) method. After a thorough review of the literature and passenger interviews, 28 distinct SQ elements are identified, categorised into six major groups, and depicted using the Ishikawa (fishbone) diagram. Different SQ factors are ranked according to their relative importance using the relative importance index method. According to the SQ, the groups and factors are prioritised. Based on the study’s findings, recommendations are made to enhance the passenger ferry's SQ. The factors and groups influencing the SQ (those in need of attention) are discussed.

Elevation bias due to penetration of spaceborne radar signal on Grosser Aletschgletscher, Switzerland

Abstract
Digital elevation models (DEMs) from the spaceborne interferometric radar mission TanDEM-X hold a large potential for glacier change assessments. However, a bias is potentially introduced through the penetration of the X-band signal into snow and firn. To improve our understanding of radar penetration on glaciers, we compare DEMs derived from the almost synchronous acquisition of TanDEM-X and Pléiades optical stereo-images of Grosser Aletschgletscher in March 2021. We found that the elevation bias – averaged per elevation bin – can reach up to 4–8 m in the accumulation area, depending on post co-registration corrections. Concurrent in situ measurements (ground-penetrating radar, snow cores, snow pits) reveal that the signal is not obstructed by the last summer horizon but reaches into perennial firn. Because of volume scattering, the TanDEM-X surface is determined by the scattering phase centre and does not coincide with a specific firn layer. We show that the bias corresponds to more than half of the decadal ice loss rate. To minimize the radar penetration bias, we recommend to select DEMs from the same time of the year and over long observation periods. A correction of the radar penetration bias is recommended, especially when combining optical and TanDEM-X DEMs.
