Development of an integrated model framework for multi-air-pollutant exposure assessments in high-density cities
Authors: Li Zhiyuan , Ho Kin-Fai , Lee Harry Fung , Yim Steve Hung Lam 
Published: January 2024

Abstract. Exposure models for some criteria of air pollutants have been intensively developed in past research; multi-air-pollutant exposure models, especially for particulate chemical species, have been however overlooked in Asia. Lack of an integrated model framework to calculate multi-air-pollutant exposure has hindered the combined exposure assessment and the corresponding health assessment. This work applied the land-use regression (LUR) approach to develop an integrated model framework to estimate 2017 annual-average exposure of multiple air pollutants in a typical high-rise and high-density Asian city (Hong Kong, China) including four criteria of gaseous air pollutants (particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter equal to or less than 10 µm (PM10) and 2.5 µm (PM2.5), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), and ozone (O3)), as well as four major PM10 chemical species. Our integrated multi-air-pollutant exposure model framework is capable of explaining 91 %–97 % of the variability of measured gaseous air pollutant concentration, with the leave-one-out cross-validation R2 values ranging from 0.73 to 0.93. Using the model framework, the spatial distribution of the concentration of various air pollutants at a spatial resolution of 500 m was generated. The LUR model-derived spatial distribution maps revealed weak-to-moderate spatial correlations between the PM10 chemical species and the criteria of air pollutants, which may help to distinguish their independent chronic health effects. In addition, further improvements in the development of air pollution exposure models are discussed. This study proposed an integrated model framework for estimating multi-air-pollutant exposure in high-density and high-rise urban areas, serving an important tool for multi-air-pollutant exposure assessment in epidemiological studies.

This will not replace the face-to-face Biometals symposium that should be take place in summer 2025.Biosynthesis and Functions of the Nickel-Pincer Nucleotide (NPN) CofactorThe nickel-pincer nucleotide (NPN) cofactor catalyzes the proton-coupled hydride-transfer reactions of selected racemases and epimerases (1-2). This novel organometallic molecule has a square-planar nickel atom that is tri-coordinated by a modified pyridinium mononucleotide, forming C-Ni and two S-Ni bonds (3). Within the active site of enzyme, the nickel is additionally bound by a histidyl residue and in some cases the NPN cofactor is covalently tethered to a lysyl group. Biosynthesis of NPN is a three-step process. LarB uses nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide (NaAD) as its substrate and catalyzes C5-carboxylation and phosphoanhydride hydrolysis to produce the dicarboxylated pyridine mononucleotide (P2CMN) (4). LarE catalyzes an ATP-dependent sulfur insertion reaction that converts P2CMN into a species with two thiocarboxylic acids (P2TMN) by sacrificial loss of a cysteinyl sulfur atom or by sulfur donation from a [4Fe-5S] cluster (5-6). LarC is a CTP-dependent nickel insertase or cyclometallase that transforms P2TMN into NPN (7-8). Recent developments in understanding the biosynthesis and utilization of the NPN cofactor will be described (9).

Published: January 2024

The talk will discuss the aircraft design, instrumentation and flight testing considerations leading to the successful flutter controller tests and aeroservoelastic model validation flight test campaign within the EU H2020 project FliPASED, marking the first conventional configuration UAV flying beyond the open-loop flutter speed in May 2023 at DLR’s Cochstedt flight test center.Along with the theoretical control design results the team also explored the effects of sensor selection, model order reduction and custom actuator development and placement to achieve the most suitable demonstrator flight envelope to conduct dangerous test involving pushing the flutter boundary. The project advanced the state-of-art in several areas, including aeroelastic modelling, flight testing, control design and implementation as well as operational modal analysis and model order reduction. All the flight test data generated within the 28 flights of the project are available open-source to benefit the flight testing and aeroelasticity research community.

Poetry and Well-Patterned Language (in Philosophy)
Authors: McBride III Lee A. 
Published: January 2024

ABSTRACT
Toni Morrison suggests that storytelling is a highly effective way of structuring knowledge, and that the harnessing of a clever allegory, the search for well-patterned language is a constant, provocative engagement with the contemporary world. This article considers the ways poetry, imagination, and well-patterned language are utilized in the philosophies of Ralph Waldo Emerson, Richard Rorty, and Leonard Harris. The author notes that there are apparent similarities between Rorty and Harris, but one should also notice that there are significant differences in these two philosophical positions. The author ultimately argues that Harris’s move toward poetry and well-patterned language is extremely powerful and needed if people wish to move beyond a well-established set of values and norms. Harris prods us to tell thought-provoking, engaging stories—to intricately tuck knowledge into allegory and well-patterned language—but do it without being an apologist for the prevailing bourgeois liberal democratic tradition. In this manner, the harnessing of metaphor and clever allegory, the creative engagement with poetry and well-patterned language (in philosophy) is a provocative means of engaging the oppression, dispossession, and immiseration of the contemporary world.
Relation and Rupture at the End of Life
Authors: Craig Megan 
Published: January 2024

ABSTRACT
This article considers three kinds of relations: being-there-alongside, waiting, and staying, that come into focus at or after the end of life. The first relation is explored in light of Heidegger’s and Levinas’s contrasting accounts of responsibility, the second in terms of Bergson’s notion of hesitation, and the third in relation to Winnicott’s description of a “holding environment.” The work serves as a plea for spaces and practices that support more generous, open-ended, and nuanced relations among those who are dying and those who attend to and survive them.
Earth Art in the Great Acceleration: Times/Counter-Times, Monuments/Counter-Monuments
Authors: Shapiro Gary 
Published: January 2024

ABSTRACT
This article attempts to situate land art in the deserts of the US Southwest in terms of the works’ relation to and rupture with more traditional genres (seventeenth to twentieth centuries) of parks, gardens, and landscape architecture. It argues that the earlier works provide implicit answers to questions concerning Earth’s meaning and offer models of flourishing habitation. In contrast, the more recent works, all constructed in the era of the great acceleration (the Anthropocene), pose questions having to do with new challenges posed by climate change and the devastation of the Earth.
Researching two Compassionate Cities: Study protocol for a mixed-methods process and outcome evaluation.
Authors: Quintiens Bert , Smets Tinne , Cohen Joachim , Chambaere Kenneth , Van den Blockt Lieve , Deliens Luc 
Published: January 2024

Background/Targeted community: Compassionate Cities are social ecology approaches that apply a set of actions, targeting a broad range of stakeholders, with the intention of renormalising caring, dying and grieving in everyday life. While several initiatives have been described in the literature, a rigorous evaluation of their processes and outcomes is lacking. This paper describes the protocol for a mixed-methods study to evaluate the development process and the outcomes of two Compassionate Cities in Flanders, Belgium.
Involved stakeholders: While the concept of Compassionate Cities is introduced by the researcher to the cities of Bruges and Herzele, the development is realised through the input from involved local stakeholders and the local project leaders. The project leaders are appointed by the cities of Bruges and Herzele. Their primary task revolves around coordinating the project and guarding its cocreational character. The stakeholders can be anyone with an interest in developing the Compassionate Cities. A community facilitator with expertise in change projects guides, with respect to local ownership, the development of both Compassionate Cities.
Methods and analysis, planning: We will use a convergent multi-phase mixed-methods design, in which a combination of qualitative and quantitative data collection methods will be triangulated in the data analysis stage to capture both development processes and outcomes. Our design includes a quasi-experimental component of a quantitative outcome evaluation in both Compassionate Cities and two comparable control cities with no formal Compassionate City programme. A critical realism lens will be applied to understand how and why certain processes manifest themselves.
Discussion: The creation of Compassionate Cities implies high levels of complexity, adaptivity, unpredictability and uncertainty. This requires various data collection methods that can be applied flexibly. A researcher taking on the role of active participant in the project’s development has several advantages, such as access to scholarly information. Reflexivity in this role is paramount to questioning where the ownership of the project lies. By applying a critical realism lens, we remain cautious about our interpretations, and we test the homogeneity of our findings through other forms of data collection.
Learning for the international audience: This is the first published study protocol to describe both a process and outcome evaluation of a Compassionate City project. By transparently describing our aims and data collection methods, we try to maximise information exchange among researchers and to inform others who desire to implement and evaluate their own initiatives.
Rural healthcare kiosks with telemedicine connectivity: Germany starts to offer 1.000 health kiosks within the next years
Authors: Hildebrandt Helmut 
Published: January 2024

A rural healthcare kiosk is an innovative healthcare and social infrastructure for those areas where no physician practices exist and has the goal of not only providing access to healthcare services, but also of preventing social isolation and making possible care, aid to the aged and general welfare. Additionally, the conveyance and development of a digital health competence for the popu-lation is an essential task.
A network of healthcare kiosks can provide local inhabitants a first point of contact directly in the rural area of districts in Thuringia, Germany which have limited access to medical care. They serve as points of information, advice and navigation, as a social infrastructure and as preventative healthcare for rural localities and villages, as well as mediators and problem solvers for outpatient care, medical services and nursing. In combination with community care outreach, healthcare kiosks fill the holes in provision of care in extensive rural areas.
The first rural healthcare kiosk was built and opened in 2022 in the Unstrut-Hainich district.
The organization “Gesundes Landleben GmbH” owned by a local foundation and OptiMedis guides and administers the care for residents through this healthcare kiosk. Through a telemedi-cine link with cooperating doctor’s offices and clinics, residents can have their vital medical data taken at healthcare kiosks and then, using an easily serviced device, securely conveyed to partici-pating medical providers.
Implementation has taken place so the first results can be reported to ICIC 2023. Local stakehold-ers are already involved in this on-going project. Additionally, this provision of care should be linked with further new forms of care and consultation in order to provide the best-possible enhancement to local healthcare competence and quality of care, while simultaneously avoiding unnecessary waste of time for patients and healthcare providers.
Note: OptiMedis founded as well the first health kiosk in Germany in a deprived urban area in Hamburg and reported on it at the ICIC conference in Dublin in 2017. Today the ministry of health in Germany announced that up to 1.000 health kiosks will be opened in Germany during the next years.
Patient partnership an integrated health system
Authors: Dayekh Alaa , Nasreddine Mohamad , Dakroub Fatima , Olliek Adel 
Published: January 2024

The patient as partner approach is a modern model of patient engagement that integrates the patients’ knowledge and skills into managing their own health. This study aims to evaluate the benefits and barriers of patient partnership in a healthcare setting. It is a qualitative and interventional study that implemented a patient and family partnership committee (PFPC) at a Lebanese hospital during the COVID-19 pandemic. A purposeful guided
approach was used for sampling, and data was collected by structured questionnaire interviews. Seven PFPC team dynamics building blocks were generated: transparency, support,
motivation, comfortable communication, mutual understanding, equity in positions and
empowerment to participate. Both the patient partners (94%) and healthcare professionals (90%) were satisfied with the PFPC experience. The majority of the healthcare profession-
als (HP) reported a noticeable change in the quality improvement process (QIP) (89%) and approved to standardize the PFPC (93%). The patient partnership benefits were clear, and the PFPC was perceived positively by both patient partners (PP) and HP. PP experienced
distress relief (37%), gained ideas (41%) and felt that their opinion was heard (27%) after PFPC participation. PP reported benefits to hospitalized patients, including respect and
care (63%) and patient satisfaction (20%). The main challenges for PFPC implementation were time availability and conflicts. Lessons from patient partnership can be utilized to
improve the patient care policies in the Lebanese healthcare system. Moreover, developing countries can benefit from the patient partnership approach in their healthcare settings.
Facilitating the creation of compassionate cities in Flanders. The case of Bruges and Herzele.
Authors: Raes Ruth 
Published: January 2024

This paper presents the case studies of Compassionate Bruges and Herzele, as experienced in the role of a project leader/facilitator. Two cities want to grow more solidarity and more carefulness for their citizens as an answer to social bitterness, coldness and isolation. Two PhD students search for an answer to the question ‘how can we develop and foster a civic approach that is complementary to institutional health care, improving the quality of life in situations of severe illness, dying and grieving?’. And to the question ‘how can we invite people to think and act differently to realise this social change?’.
The uniqueness of this testimonial lies in the top-down approach that was chosen to implement the compassionate city as well as the compassionate community aspect of this project. This is unlike a lot of international examples of compassionate community projects that are rather driven by an individual ‘sponsor’ or grassroots initiatives. In the top-down approach, we bring together partners like schools, employers, life stance groups,… In the bottom-up approach we work with civil society organisations and key figures in local networks. We aim at developing a compassionate community in Bruges Sint-Kruis as well as in Herzele-Centre.
We will give an overview of how the project was conceived and how both cities evolved in their own way, driven by local differences in policy making, social network dynamics and the people involved. We will present the tensions that emerged and what we did to try and manage these tensions, as well as to manage the complexity of the global context in which these projects deployed.
Since some of our interventions proved to be more successful than others, we will conclude with some learnings and reflections and a brief presentation of the ‘Navigation Triangle’ framework. This framework is the synthesis of the levers we experienced to be crucial to understand and use in the process of leading cultural change in a complex environment. This framework might inspire project leaders and facilitators in their navigation processes through the complexity of their own projects, trying to involve people from a top-down as well as a bottom-up point of view.
Engaging with autistic children and their families: Strategies for effective partnerships
Authors: Mullins Lhara 
Published: January 2024

Background: Autism diagnoses for children are becoming more commonplace due to greater understanding and insight concerning neurodiversity and an increased awareness of the importance of inclusion. Consequently, greater numbers of health and social care professionals, educators and practitioners in the community are more likely to find themselves supporting autistic children and their families. Understanding the needs, wishes and hopes of families who you interact with will enable you to plan your professional response to their needs more effectively.
Target audience: This presentation is intended for professionals responsible for supporting autistic children and their families within clinical, residential or community settings, in addition to those working in education settings. This presentation will explore the needs of autistic children and their families when they present at appointments or for services, and how you as the professional can make the most positive impact through your interactions.
Key messages: Supporting parents to support their children has fast become the mantra of disability support services here in Ireland. But what do parents universally really need from professionals to truly empower and enable them to support their autistic child?
A partnership approach between professionals and parents is instrumental in promoting more positive outcomes for autistic children. Yet what parents need more than anything else when they meet you is hope. They need to feel listened to, that their worries and concerns have been heard and they need to have hope that things can improve for their child and their family. You may not always be in a position to provide the level of service an autistic child truly needs. You can however maximise the effectiveness of your intervention with their family by establishing and developing good working relationships with their parents.
Learning outcomes: This presentation will provide you with strategies and tangible methods of supporting autistic children, via enabling and empowering parents. Actual case studies will be provided to demonstrate to attendees the effectiveness of active listening, being present and creating a space of hope, within interactions with parents. Examples of both effective and non-effective ways of engaging families will be presented, to maximise understanding and enhance positive outcomes.
