description: В системе многоступенчатого образования одним из важных и сложных этапов является переход от школьного обучения к вузовскому. Изучение вопросов подготовки учащихся к поступлению в вуз актуально, поскольку на этом этапе закладывается фундамент дальнейшего успешного обучения и трудовой деятельности. Анализ литературных данных показал, что на стадии подготовки необходимо не только решать образовательные вопросы, но и включать в нее элементы адаптации к вузовским формам и методам обучения, формировать коммуникативные умения и навыки. Авторами статьи предлагается подход, основанный на реализации курса по предмету. Цель исследования - показать эффективность образовательно-адаптационного курса по химии как средства подготовки учащихся средних общеобразовательных школ к поступлению в вуз. Исследование проведено с использованием системно-философского подхода и комплекса взаимодополняющих методов: анализа психолого-педагогической литературы и собственного опыта авторов статьи, опроса учащихся, статистической обработки. Курс основан на принципах интерактивного обучения и представлен как целостная система психолого-педагогических приемов, методов обучения, воспитательных средств. Новизна и теоретическая ценность работы обусловлены одновременным комплексным решением образовательной, адаптационной и коммуникативной задач. Эффективность курса показана на примере его реализации в районной средней общеобразовательной школе в течение четырех лет и подтверждается повышением интереса школьников к изучению химии в 9-м классе и успешной сдачей ОГЭ, ростом среднего балла по результатам ЕГЭ. Практическая значимость заключается в том, что выпускники, прошедшие образовательно-адаптационный курс, приобретают необходимый и достаточный объем знаний для восприятия вузовских программ по химическим дисциплинам, адаптированы к вузовским формам и методам обучения, не испытывают психоэмоционального дискомфорта при переходе от школьной системы оценки знаний к балльно-рейтинговой, владеют коммуникативными умениями и навыками. Он эффективен в качестве методической базы для проведения профориентационной работы. Рекомендуется для реализации в средних общеобразовательных школах.

description: Introduction:
Patients who use the acute services frequently are more likely to have complex needs. Previous work carried out by this group has shown that large percentage of these patients have psychiatric backgrounds and already receive support from the mental health services. With introduction of 24/7 liaison service, an opportunity was identified to work collaboratively on a pathway to manage this vulnerable group of patients.

Aims:
We aimed to create a ‘one stop’ case management approach aiming to put in place a clear, safe and purposeful plan, tailored according to each patient’s needs; Improve communications between the different specialties (Psychiatry, A&E and Medicine); Reduce the patients’ stay in hospital (at inpatient as well as A&E waiting time); To sign post, if necessary, to appropriate and available sources of care and ensure a consistent approach is delivered by all services.

Methods
Patients were identified through a previous audit. Bimonthly meetings were organized and chaired by the liaison team. Consultants from A&E and Emergency Admission Unit as well as the Frequent Attenders Nurse at University Hospital North Tees were invited.
4 weeks prior to the meeting, two patients are nominated by the acute consultants. Each team then carries out a case review.
A psychiatric summary, including key management problems, is circulated prior to the meeting. Care coordinators and agencies involved are invited.
A summary and management plan is shared by all teams involved. This plan is stored on the psychiatric electronic clinical records system and A & E electronic alerts, where it can be accessed at any time.
Plans are reviewed regularly.
Attendance measured for the same time before and after the formulation of each plan (to A&E as well as hospital inpatient stay at UHNT)

Results:
Between Jul 2013 and Feb 2014, three meetings are held and 5 patients were discussed. There was an overall reduction in attendance to A&E in all but one patient.  Acute hospital inpatient admissions was significantly reduced in 4 out of the 5 patients. Another meeting was held to revise the plan for the patient whose attendance increased. Non adherence to the plan by other teams was identified. One patient started to present to a different location in another city

Conclusion/Comments:
This approach has grown in popularity. Care coordinators and other parties involved offered a positive feedback about these plans. Carers and patients ‘involvement in future would be important. Clear communication and continued positive collaboration are crucially important between the acute and the psychiatric trusts to optimize patient outcomes.

description: This study examined the feasibility of green hydrogen as a transport fuel for the very heavy vehicle (VHV) fleet in New Zealand. Green hydrogen is assumed to be produced through water electrolysis using purely renewable energy (RE) as an electricity source. This study chose very heavy vehicles as a potential market for green hydrogen, because it is considered “low-hanging fruit” for hydrogen fuel in a sector where battery electrification is less feasible. The study assumed a large-scale, decentralized, embedded (dedicated) grid-connected hydrogen system of production using polymer electrolytic membrane (PEM) electrolysers. The analysis comprised three steps. First, the hydrogen demand was calculated. Second, the additional RE requirement was determined and compared with consented, but unbuilt, capacity. Finally, the hydrogen production cost was calculated using the concept of levelized cost. Sensitivity analysis and cost reduction scenarios were also undertaken. The results indicate an overall green hydrogen demand for VHVs of 71 million kg, or 8.5 PJ, per year, compared to the 14.7 PJ of diesel fuel demand for the same VHV travelled kilome-tres. The results also indicate that the estimated 9824 GWh of RE electricity that could be generated from consented, yet unbuilt, RE projects is greater than the electricity demand for green hydrogen production, which was calculated to be 4492 GWh. The calculated levelized hydrogen cost is NZD 6.83/kg. Electricity cost was found to be the most significant cost parameter for green hydrogen production. A combined cost reduction for CAPEX and electricity translates to a hydrogen cost reduction in 10 to 20 years.

description: Hydrogen is currently receiving significant attention and investment as a key enabler of defossilised global energy systems. Many believe this will eventually result in the international trade of hydrogen as a commodity from countries with significant renewable energy resources, for example New Zealand and Australia, to net energy importing countries including Japan and Korea. Japan has, since 2014, been actively exploring the components of the necessary supply chains, including the assessment of different hydrogen carriers. Public/private partnerships have invested in demonstration projects to assess the comparative merits of liquid hydrogen, ammonia, and organic carriers. On the supply side, significant projects have been proposed in Australia while the impending closure of New Zealand’s Tiwai Point aluminium smelter at the end of 2024 may provide an opportunity for green hydrogen production. However, it is also evident that the transition to a hydrogen economy will take some years and confidence around the timing of supply and demand capacity is essential for new energy infrastructure investment. This paper reviews the expected development of an export market to Japan and concludes that large scale imports are unlikely before the late 2020s. Comparative evaluation of the energy efficiency of various hydrogen carriers concludes that it is too early to call a winner, but that ammonia has key advantages as a fungible commodity today, while liquid hydrogen has the potential to be a more efficient energy carrier. Ultimately it will be the delivered cost of hydrogen that will determine which carriers are used, and while energy efficiency is a key metric, there are other considerations such as infrastructure availability, and capital and operating costs.

description: Reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the transport sector is known to be an important contribution to climate change mitigation. Some parts of the transport sector are particularly difficult to decarbonize; this includes the heavy-duty vehicle sector, which is considered one of the “hard-to-abate” sectors of the economy. Transitioning from diesel trucks to hydrogen fuel cell trucks has been identified as a potential way to decarbonize the sector. However, the current and future costs and efficiencies of the enabling technologies remain unclear. In light of these uncertainties, this paper investigates the investments required to decarbonize New Zealand’s heavy-duty vehicle sector with green hydrogen. By combining system dynamics modelling literature and hydrogen transition modelling literature a customized methodology is developed for modelling hydrogen transitions with system dynamics modelling. Results are presented in terms of the investments required to purchase the hydrogen production capacity and the investments required to supply electricity to the hydrogen production systems. Production capacity investments are found to range between 1.59 and 2.58 billion New Zealand Dollars, and marginal electricity investments are found to range between 4.14 and 7.65 billion New Zealand Dollars. These investments represent scenarios in which 71% to 90% of the heavy-duty vehicle fleet are replaced with fuel cell trucks by 2050. The wide range of these findings reflects the large uncertainties in estimates of how hydrogen technologies will develop over the course of the next thirty years. Policy recommendations are drawn from these results, and a clear opportunity for future work is outlined. Most notably, the results from this study should be compared with research investigating the investments required to decarbonize the heavy-duty vehicle sectors with alternative technologies such as battery-electric trucks, biodiesel, and catenary systems. Such a comparison would ensure that the most cost effective decarbonization strategy is employed.
title: Improvements to the [13C]MTG breath test for measuring fat digestion
Creators: name: Slater, Christine
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Medicine.

description: There is a need for a robust, non-invasive clinical test to assess fat digestion, especially in children with cystic fibrosis. Labelling of substrates with 13C enables investigation of their digestion, absorption and subsequent metabolism. The mixed triacylglcerol (MTG) 13C-breath test is an indirect measure of fat digestion, and therefore exocrine pancreatic function. Cystic fibrosis is the commonest cause of pancreatic insufficiency in children. 13C-breath tests are particularly attractive for use in children because they are non-invasive, and pose no radiation hazard. MTG is a synthetic triacylglycerol (1,3 distearyl 2-[1-13C] octanoyl-glycerol). Pancreatic lipases preferentially hydrolyse triacylglycerol at the sn-1 and -3 positions, releasing 13C-labelled octanoate which is rapidly absorbed and oxidised with the generation of 13CO2. Quantitation of tracer excretion requires knowledge of the volume of distribution of the 13C-labelled tracer as well as quantity of ingested dose and abundance in breath CO2. In 13C-breath tests, labelled CO2 originating from oxidation of the tracer is diluted by endogenously produced CO2 from metabolic processes. Therefore knowledge of CO2 production rate (VCO2) is required. A resting value based on basal metabolic rate is often assumed, but if subjects are not at rest and in the postprandial state throughout the test, this will be an underestimate of the true CO2 production rate and therefore underestimate the quantity of tracer excreted. The MTG breath test has not been widely adopted because it lacks discrimination due to its poor specificity. The hypothesis tested in this study is that the poor specificity of the [13C]MTG breath test is due to lack of knowledge of the true carbon dioxide production rate during the test.

description: Importance: Although racial/ethnic differences in functional outcomes after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) exist, whether such differences are associated with differences in presurgical physical function (PF) has not been thoroughly investigated. Objective: To examine trajectories of PF by race/ethnicity before and after TKA among older women. Design, Setting, and Participants: This cohort study was conducted among the prospective Women's Health Initiative with linked Medicare claims data. A total of 10 325 community-dwelling women throughout the United States with Medicare fee-for-service underwent primary TKA between October 1, 1993, and December 31, 2014, and were followed up through March 31, 2017. Exposures: Race/ethnicity comparisons between Hispanic or Latina women, non-Hispanic black or African American women, and non-Hispanic white women (hereafter referred to as Hispanic, black, and white women, respectively). Main Outcomes and Measures: Physical functioning scale scores and self-reported activity limitations with walking 1 block, walking several blocks, and climbing 1 flight of stairs were measured by the RAND 36-Item Health Survey during the decade before and after TKA, with a median of 9 PF measurements collected per participant over time. Results: In total, 9528 white women (mean [SD] age at surgery, 74.6 [5.5] years), 622 black women (mean [SD] age at surgery, 73.1 [5.3] years), and 175 Hispanic women (mean [SD] age at surgery, 73.1 [5.2] years) underwent TKA. During the decade prior to TKA, black women had lower PF scores than white women (mean difference, -5.8 [95% CI, -8.0 to -3.6]) and higher odds of experiencing difficulty walking a single block (5 years before TKA: odds ratio, 1.86 [95% CI, 1.57-2.21]), walking multiple blocks (odds ratio, 2.14 [95% CI, 1.83-2.50]), and climbing 1 flight of stairs (odds ratio, 1.81 [95% CI, 1.55-2.12]). After TKA, black women continued to have lower PF scores throughout the decade (mean difference 1 year after TKA, -7.8 [95% CI, -10.8 to -4.9]). After adjusting for preoperative PF scores, PF scores after TKA were attenuated (mean difference 1 year after TKA, -3.0 [95% CI, -5.3 to -0.7]), with no statistically significant differences in long-term follow-up. Hispanic women had similar PF scores to white women during the pre-TKA and post-TKA periods. Conclusions and Relevance: This study suggests that black women had significantly poorer PF than white women during the decades before and after TKA. Poorer PF after surgery was associated with poorer preoperative PF. Reducing disparities in post-TKA functional outcomes should target maintenance of function preoperatively in the early stages of arthritic disease and/or reduction of delays to receiving TKA once need arises.

description: In the grid-tied micro-grid context, energy resilience can be defined as the time period that a local energy system can supply the critical loads during an unplanned upstream grid outage. While the role of renewable-based micro-grids in enhancing communities’ energy resilience is well-appreciated, the academic literature on the techno-economic optimisation of community-scale micro-grids lacks a quantitative decision support analysis concerning the inclusion of a minimum resilience constraint in the optimisation process. Utilising a specifically-developed, time-based resilience capacity characterisation method to quantify the sustainability of micro-grids in the face of different levels of extended grid power outages, this paper facilitates stakeholder decision-making on the trade-off between the whole-life cost of a community micro-grid system and its degree of resilience. Furthermore, this paper focuses on energy infrastructure expansion planning, aiming to analyse the importance of micro-grid reinforcement to meet new sources of electricity demand—particularly, transport electrification—in addition to the business-as-usual demand growth. Using quantitative case study evidence from the Totarabank Subdivision in New Zealand, the paper concludes that at the current feed-in-tariff rate (NZ$0.08/kWh), the life cycle profitability of resilience-oriented community micro-grid capacity reinforcement is guaranteed within a New Zealand context, though constrained by capital requirements.

description: Renewable Energy Technologies are rapidly gaining uptake in South Africa, already having more than 3900 MW operational wind, solar PV, Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) and biogas capacity. CSP has the potential to become a leading Renewable Energy Technology, as it is the only one inherently equipped with the facility for large-scale thermal energy storage for increased dispatchability. There are many studies that aim to determine the potential for CSP development in certain regions or countries. South Africa has a high solar irradiation resource by global standards, but few studies have been carried out to determine the potential for CSP. One such study was conducted in 2009, prior to any CSP plants having been built in South Africa. As part of a broader study to determine the impact of CSP on South Africa's water resources, a geospatial approach was used to optimise this potential based on technological changes and improved spatial data. A tiered approach, using a comprehensive set of criteria to exclude unsuitable areas, was used to allow for the identification of suitable areas, as well as the modelling of electricity generation potential. It was found that there is more than 104 billion m2 of suitable area, with a total theoretical potential of more than 11,000 TWh electricity generating capacity.

description: The complexities that are inherent in electricity value chains are non-linear in nature and they require unconventional modelling methods, such as system dynamics. This paper provides an overview of the system dynamics method applied for obtaining an understanding of the impact of electric-bus, -car, and -truck market penetration on carbon emissions in South Africa, through the development of the electric mobility simulator (eMobiSim). Two scenarios were tested. The World Reference scenario was based on a market penetration of 22% eCars, 19% eTrucks, and 80% eBuses and the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) scenario was based on 2.38% eCars, 1.79% eTrucks, and 12% eBuses. The results indicate that the World Reference scenario is the most optimistic, with a 12.33% decrease in carbon emissions in the transport sector and an increase of 4.32% in the electricity sector. However, if the economic structure that is specific to South Africa is to be considered and the GDP scenario is run, then there would only be a 1.77% decrease of carbon emissions in the transport sector and an increase of 0.64% in the electricity sector. Although the eCar market penetration produces the highest reduction in carbon emissions, the volumes that are required are large and other factors, such as price parity and affordability in the various income deciles, would have to be considered in determining whether this volume is achievable.

description: Objective:
As documentation reflects actual practice, to assess whether there is proper identification of evidence based reasons for psychotic relapse in patients with schizophrenia during their readmission.

Method:
A list of patients attending Carlow/Kilkenny Mental Health Services who had been discharged from their 2nd or more admission was obtained. The study period was a 9 month span from June 06 to March 07.
Their case notes were reviewed and the most recent (index) admission was studied.

Results:
A total of 32 readmissions were recorded over this period. 22 were male and 10 were female cases. 100% of patients had an ICD-10 diagnosis of Paranoid Schizophrenia.
Only 41% had the reason for relapse documented in their case formulation at the time of admission.100% had it documented during readmission and 22% had it documented or addressed in their discharge plan.
40% of index admissions had medication compliance discussed. 53% were asked about their alcohol intake while 50% had illicit drug use discussed. In 100% of cases, discussion about social support was documented, 80% had insight assessed.
Only 16% had a recovery plan meeting documented as having taken place while 13% had received written information during their period of readmission.

Conclusion:
There is a clear need for better documentation of reasons for relapse in case formulation and at discharge planning. This would improve the clinical management including the prevention of relapse of Schizophrenia.

description: Recent reports from international energy agencies indicate that more than a billion of the population in the world is deprived of basic electricity provisions, confined mainly to the remote communities of developing nations. Microgrids are promoted as a potential technology for electricity provisions to off-grid rural communities, but have failed to reach their value proposition in the context of rural electrification access. In view of the rampant rural electrification issues, the objective of this paper is to furnish an understanding of, and advance the knowledge into, methods to facilitate the design and development of microgrid systems for remote communities in developing countries. The methodology involves an integrative review process of an annotated bibliography to summarise past empirical or theoretical literature. As such, this research is based on evaluation attributes, and identifies the challenges and barriers for remote microgrids through an analysis of 19 case studies. The paper concludes by proposing key aspects that need to be considered for developing a framework to improve the sustainability of electricity provisions for off-grid rural communities in developing countries.

title: Renal and mammary PD excretion in Holstein/Friesian dairy cows: Its potential as a non-invasive index of protein metabolism

description: The significance and contribution of rumen synthesised MCP (MCP) in the context of current metabolisable protein (MP) systems and variations in the energetic efficiency of MCP synthesis reported in the literature are reviewed. The estimation of MCP supply from urinary PD (PD) excretion is discussed and reviewed in detail, with the conclusion that it is a reliable non-invasive technique. HPLC methodologies were developed to determine PD, pseudouridine and creatinine in bovine urine and allantoin in bovine milk. A series of experiments were conducted to evaluate the potential of the PD technique using spot urine samples or measurements of allantoin in milk as on-farm diagnostics of MCP supply. Prediction of daily mean urinary molar ratios of PDs to creatinine (PD/c) ratios from spot urine samples was poor due to diurnal variations, the extent of which was influenced by feeding regimen. Furthermore, prediction of urinary PD excretion from daily mean PD/c ratios was poor due to between-cow variations in urinary creatinine excretion. On this basis the spot urine sampling technique was considered unreliable and a total urine collection proved necessary. Variabilty of urinary creatinine excretion precludes its use as a urinary output marker for individual cows. Urinary pseudouridine excretion was independent of nutrient supply but appeared to be influenced by metabolic changes occurring during lactation. In two experiments, dietary fermentable metabolisable energy (FME) supply was manipulated during early and late lactation. For both experiments, individual cow urinary PD excretion was poorly predicted from calculated FME intake or MCP supply. Based on mean treatment values, urinary PD excretion was accurately predicted from calculated MCP. Individual cow milk allantoin excretion or concentration were poorly correlated with urinary PD excretion, calculated FME intake or MCP. Relationships derived using mean treatment values indicated that milk allantoin excretion or concentration were strongly correlated with urinary PD excretion or calculated MCP. Variability precludes the use of milk allantoin as an index of MCP supply for individual cows, but it appears as reliable as urinary PD excretion when used on a herd or group feeding basis.
