description: Implementing interprofessional education (IPE) in health professions curricula requires considerations of students’ attitudes and readiness. Interventional studies that assess students’ perceptions about IPE are needed. As IPE is an emerging concept in Jordan, our study aimed at exploring the attitudes of health profession students about IPE and collaborative practice before and after implementing an IPE activity. Students completed the validated Interprofessional Attitudes Scale (IPAS) before and after completing a 3-hour interprofessional activity. Students’ attitudes toward IPE were compared using the subscales and total IPAS scores. A total of 41 health profession students attending the professional health programs of Doctor of Pharmacy, Medicine, Nursing, Nutrition, or Pharmacy completed IPAS before and after conducting the interprofessional activity. Students reported positive attitudes toward IPE prior to the activity. Significant increases were observed in IPAS scores from pre- (median [interquartile range: IQR] score = 4.19 [0.61]) to post-activity (median [IQR] = 4.48 [0.65]), and in its subscales (teamwork, roles and responsibilities, diversity and ethics, and community-centeredness). Students’ experience with the IPE activity was positive and optimistic. The findings revealed for the first time the perception and readiness of health profession students toward IPE and collaborative practice in Jordan. This readiness can help draw a path for strategic integration of IPE in health profession curricula.

description: The Cygnus region harbours a huge complex of massive stars at a distance of 1.0-2.0kpc from us. About 170 O stars are distributed over several OB associations, among which the Cyg OB2 cluster is by far the most important with about 100-120 O stars. These massive stars inject large quantities of radioactive nuclei into the interstellar medium, such as 26Al and 60Fe, and their gamma-ray line decay signals can provide insight into the physics of massive stars and core-collapse supernovae. Past studies of the nucleosynthesis activity of Cygnus have concluded that the level of 26Al decay emission as deduced from CGRO/COMPTEL observations was a factor 2-3 above the predictions based on the theoretical yields available at that time and on the observed stellar content of the Cygnus region. We reevaluate the situation from new measurements of the gamma-ray decay fluxes with INTEGRAL/SPI and new predictions based on recently improved stellar models including some of the effects of stellar rotation for the higher mass stars and a coherent estimate of the contribution from SNIb/c. We developed a population synthesis code to predict the nucleosynthesis activity and corresponding decay fluxes of a given stellar population of massive stars. The observed decay fluxes from the Cygnus complex are found to be consistent with the values predicted by population synthesis at solar metallicity. The observed extent of the 1809keV emission from Cygnus is found to be consistent with the result of a numerical simulation of the diffusion of 26Al inside the superbubble blown by Cyg OB2. Our work indicates that the past dilemma regarding the gamma-ray line emission from Cygnus resulted from an overestimate of the 1809keV flux of the Cygnus complex, combined with an underestimate of the nucleosynthesis yields.

description: The original notion of individual consumer’s benefit triggering the derogatory effects under Art. 101.3 TFEU has been superseded and definitively expanded so as to include not only individual consumers’ benefits but also all other social value benefits fostering the development of a new social model of market economy superseding the old one embodied in the original Treaty of Rome. On this basis, the paper discusses the recent Communication whereby the EU Commission has provided instructions and guidelines for the proper assessment of the compatibility of horizontal cooperation agreements with the objective set out by Art. 3 TEU of contributing to the shaping of a new European social market economy. This, in particular, implies the extension of the scope of action of all competent public authorities and the evolution of their power of control to such an extent as to include the assessment of the consistency and the actual sustainability of the effects deriving from each specific cooperation agreement for the benefit of the entire community thereby affected.

description: Different compositions of galaxy types in the field in comparison to galaxy clusters as described by the morphology-density relation in the local universe is interpreted as a result of transformation processes from late- to early-type galaxies. This interpretation is supported by the Butcher-Oemler effect. We investigate E+A galaxies as an intermediate state between late-type galaxies in low density environments and early-type galaxies in high density environment to constrain the possible transformation processes. For this purpose we model a grid of post-starburst galaxies by inducing a burst and/or a halting of star formation on the normal evolution of spiral galaxies with our galaxy evolution code GALEV. From our models we find that the common E+A criteria exclude a significant number of post-starburst galaxies and propose that comparing their spectral energy distributions leads to a more sufficient method to investigate post-starbust galaxies. We predict that a higher number of E+A galaxies in the early universe can not be ascribed solely to a higher number of starburst, but is a result of a lower metallicity and a higher burst strength due to more gas content of the galaxies in the early universe. We find that even galaxies with a normal evolution without a starburst have a Hdelta-strong phase at early galaxy ages.

Photoproduction of $J/ψ$ in association with a $c\bar{c}$ pair

description: Based on the color-singlet model, we investigate the photoproduction of $J/ψ$ associated with a $c \bar{c}$ pair with all subprocesses including the direct, single-resolved, and double-resolved channels. The amplitude squared of these subprocesses are obtained analytically. By choosing corresponding parameters, we give theoretical predictions for the $J/ψ$ transverse momentum distributions both at the LEPII and at the future photon colliders for these subprocesses. The numerical results show that at the LEPII these processes can not give enough contributions to account for the experimental data, and it indicates that the color-octet mechanism may still be needed. At the photon collider with the laser back scattering photons, the resolved photon channe will dominate over the direct one in small and moderate $p_t$ regions with large $\sqrt{s}$. By measuring the $J/ψ$ production associated with a $c\bar{c}$ pair, this process can be separated from the inclusive $J/ψ$ production and may provide a new chance to test the color-singlet contributions.

The role of vasopressin in the diuretic response to left atrial distension
Creators: name: Mason, James Melvin
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The concept that the renal excretion of water and electrolytes is partly governed by the volume in some fluid compartment of the body is one which has received some experimental verification. Attempts to define a mechanism sensitive to changes in some fluid compartment of the body have provided support both for and against the theory that stimulation of sensory nerve endings in the intrathoracic circulation sets up afferent impulses in the vagus nerves which diminish the release of antidiuretic hormone from the neurohypophysis and so cause diuresis. Evidence which supports the theory comes from experiments in which atrial distension has been associated with a reduction of antidiuretic activity in the circulating blood. Evidence which does not support the theory comes from experiments in which the diuretic response to left atrial distension has been demonstrated during infusion of vasopressin at rates adequate to completely inhibit water diuresis in conscious dogs (0.025 m-u./kg./min.). A series of experiments has been carried out in an attempt to define the role of antidiuretic hormone in the diuretic response to left atrial distension. In one series, experiments were designed to test the effects of different doses of vasopressin upon the diuretic response to left atrial distension. The results of this series showed that the diuretic response to left atrial distension was composed of an increase in solute excretion and an increase in water excretion. At a rate of infusion of vasopressin of 0.4 m-u./kg./min. or above the increase in water excretion was abolished while the increase in solute excretion was unaffected. In another series, experiments were designed to test the renal response to large changes in vasopressin concentration. The concentrations of vasopressin used (0.4 m-u./kg./min. and 0.04 m-u./kg./min.) completely inhibited water diuresis in conscious dogs. The results of this series indicated that in the hydrated anaesthetized dog, a change from the high concentration of vasopressin to the lower concentration may cause a transient dilute diuresis. These results support the view that a decrease in the circulating concentration of antidiuretic hormone is one mechanism which may produce a diuretic response to left atrial distension. The results will be reported in a condensed form (Mason and Ledsome, 1971; Ledsome and Mason, 1971).

description: We consider the D7/D(--1) system in Type I' as a prototypical "exotic" brane instanton. With respect to systems such as the D3/D(-1) ones, which correspond to gauge instantons in four dimensions, exotic systems lack the bosonic mixed moduli w of the ADHM construction, related to the instanton size, and their possible field-theoretical interpretation as classical solutions is an important open question. For the system at hand, we propose that it corresponds to the point-like limit of the eight-dimensional so-called SO(8) instanton solution. This configuration is a solution of the quartic term of the non-abelian D7 action, i.e., the term which stays finite in the limit in which alpha' goes to zero with the string coupling fixed that preserves the D(-1) effects. As a necessary consistency condition, we check that the next order term in the non-abelian effective action vanishes on the SO(8) solution so that the limit we take is well-defined.

Three dimensional non-linear evolution of a magnetic flux tube in a spherical shell: Influence of turbulent convection and associated mean flows

Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)

description: We present the first 3D MHD study in spherical geometry of the non-linear dynamical evolution of magnetic flux tubes in a turbulent rotating convection zone. We study numerically the rise of magnetic toroidal flux ropes from the base of a modelled convection zone up to the top of our computational domain where bipolar patches are formed. We compare the dynamical behaviour of flux tubes in a fully convective shell possessing self-consistently generated mean flows such as meridional circulation and differential rotation, with reference calculations done in a quiet isentropic zone. We find that two parameters influence the tubes during their rise through the convection zone: the initial field strength and amount of twist, thus confirming previous findings in Cartesian geometry. Further, when the tube is sufficiently strong with respect to the equipartition field, it rises almost radially independently of the initial latitude (either low or high). By contrast, weaker field cases indicate that downflows and upflows control the rising velocity of particular regions of the rope and could in principle favour the emergence of flux through Omega-loop structures. For these latter cases, we focus on the orientation of bipolar patches and find that sufficiently arched structures are able to create bipolar regions with a predominantly East-West orientation. Meridional flow seems to determine the trajectory of the magnetic rope when the field strength has been significantly reduced near the top of the domain. Finally differential rotation makes it more difficult for tubes introduced at low latitudes to reach the top of the domain.

description: Impact of supernova explosion on the neutron star magnetosphere in a massive binary system is considered. The supernova shock striking the NS magnetosphere filled with plasma can lead to the formation of a magnetospheric tail with significant magnetic energy. The magnetic field reconnection in the current sheet formed can convert the magnetic energy stored in the tail into kinetic energy of accelerated charged particles. Plasma instabilities excited by beams of relativistic particles can lead to the formation of a short pulse of coherent radio emission with parameters similar to those of the observed bright extragalactic millisecond radio burst (Lorimer et al. 2007).

Vitamin E status of infant formulas.
Creators: name: O'Leary, Lillian Patricia
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: In early Infancy, limited ingestion of vitamin E, especially the α-tocopherol form, and/or a high, intake of polyunsaturated fatty acids are reflected as a low serum tocopherol level. This vitamin E deficiency state is probably responsible for the development of an anemia characterized by abnormal erythrocyte hemolysis. Edema and skin changes may also be present. In order to ascertain the tocopherol status of infant formulas available in Canada, thirty-six representative formulas were chemically analyzed for vitamin E and polyunsaturated fatty acid contents. For the tocopherol analysis, a combination of the Emmerie-Engel procedure and two-dimensional thin-layer chromatography was used. An alkaline isomerization technique was chosen for the polyunsaturated fatty acid analysis. The vitamin E status of the various formulas was assessed in relation to three criteria of tocopherol adequacy - the α-tocopherol-to-PUFA ratio, the α-tocopherol content, and the level of International Units of vitamin E. With the exception of one formula which was supplemented with vitamin E, the twenty-one formulas based on fresh or modified cow's milk often contained insufficient tocopherol to meet the various criteria of adequacy. A large per cent of the vitamin E content in these formulas was present as α-tocopherol. The polyunsaturated fatty acid content was relatively low. In general, the fifteen proprietary formulas had much higher levels of vitamin E and polyunsaturated fatty acids than the formulas based on fresh or modified cow's milk. For many of the proprietary products, α-tocopherol constituted only a small part of the vitamin E content. Four of the proprietary formulas (including three which had been fortified with vitamin E) contained sufficient amounts of vitamin E to satisfy the three standards of adequacy. On the basis of the chemical analysis results, it is recommended that all infant formulas be supplemented with sufficient amounts of vitamin E. to meet the various criteria of adequacy. In this way, the risk of vitamin E deficiency in early childhood should be minimal. The present study is also concerned with past, present, and future trends in infant feeding practices. In the 1960's, the ready-to-feed hospital feeding systems, which are usually based on a proprietary preparation,were introduced in Canada. A survey conducted among Canadian hospitals indicated that the use of such systems has become widespread. At the same time, the popularity of the hospital-prepared formula system has declined. Consequently, the use of modified cow's milk formulas has declined in Canadian hospitals. However, such formulas are frequently used for home-feeding of infants. No definite trends were noted in the frequency of breast-feeding.

description: As a part of the construction of an information theory based on general probabilistic theories, we propose and investigate the several distinguishability measures and "entropies" in general probabilistic theories. As their applications, no-cloning theorems, information-disturbance theorems are reformulated, and a bound of the accessible informations is discussed in any general probabilistic theories, not resorting to quantum theory.

Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania

description: Public awareness of the toxic effects of some volatile organic compounds present in the working and home environment has created a requirement for the accurate measurement of the concentration of these substances. Similar techniques may be used for the examination of the volatile components of plant material and assist in determining the optimum economic time for harvesting, and also provide useful information in the areas of plant-insect interaction. This thesis examines some of the sampling and analytical aspects for the determination of trace volatile organic compounds present in air. A brief critical review of the literature is presented describing concentration and trapping techniques, headspace collection, separation and analytical techniques, detection and measurement of the separated components and the sources of error in trace volatile analysis. The development of an experimental sampling system for volatile organic compounds in air, based on trials conducted with activated carbon and a porous polymer is presented. Two methods of sample desorption are described and the development of sampling equipment based on Tenax GC, thermal elution with secondary trapping and flash injection into the inlet of a gas chromatograph is described. An investigation was conducted into the nature and origin of an unpleasant lachrimatory component emanating from an industrial furnace, and a number of trapping and separation techniques were used to determine the nature of the irritant. The experimental methods used are described, and conclusions are drawn concerning the suitability of the various techniques for trace organic volatile sampling. The steam volatile components of the oil of two Tasmanian native plants, Drimys lanceolata and Prostanthera lasianthos are examined using gas chromatography retention criteria on two columns and mass spectral information. A comparison of the volatile components of Boronia megastigma in the flowers, concrete, and.concrete headspace is described and the application of the technique to the determination of the optimum time for harvesting, is outlined. Changes in the volatile components produced upon injury of Pinus radiata are examined using headspace traps above and below the injury and comparisons are made of the volatile components present in the bark.

description: We study the rate at which stars spiral into a massive black hole (MBH) due to the emission of gravitational waves (GWs), as a function of the mass M of the MBH. In the context of our model, it is shown analytically that the rate approximately depends on the MBH mass as M^{-1/4}. Numerical simulations confirm this result, and show that for all MBH masses, the event rate is highest for stellar black holes, followed by white dwarfs, and lowest for neutron stars. The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) is expected to see hundreds of these extreme mass ratio inspirals per year. Since the event rate derived here formally diverges as M->0, the model presented here cannot hold for MBHs of masses that are too low, and we discuss what the limitations of the model are.

Wakers and sleepers : the dynamics of Christina Stead's 'drama of the person'
Creators: name: Brown, Denise
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This thesis begins with an introductory survey of the various influences which shaped Christina Stead's vision of life and her interest in drama is identified as an important aspect influencing her work. Her kinship with Balzac, Henry James and others in the European tradition of the dramatic novel is evident. Her concerns as a dramatic novelist are then examined briefly and some of the criticisms of her ability to create character successfully are dealt with. From the outset, Stead uses both drama and dream as metaphors through which to express the illusory quality of life. The thesis demonstrates that in many ways these terms become interchangeable. It explores Stead's use of myth and legend and of the drama and fiction of the past to reinforce her conception of the theatricality of her characters and their lives. The emphasis of her 'drama of the person' is upon character rather than plot. Since she sees life as drama, a struggle, the forms of her novels reflect the flux or process of her characters' lives as they struggle to realise their dreams. Dialectic, manifested in character, imagery, style and theme, operates over the corpus as well as within each individual novel, contributing to the impression of flux or dynamic movement that is essential to drama. In keeping with Stead's use of the metaphor of life as dream or drama, her characters fall into the categories of 'wakers' and 'sleepers' according to the strength of their will to direct their lives. The 'wakers' are those strong‚ÄövÑvÆwilled characters whose aspirations are brought to fulfilment as they actively shape and direct their lives. Their dramas are marked by a narrative movement from entrapment towards their ultimate destiny. The 'sleepers' are those characters whose lives are marked by the aimlessness of inertia as they fail to break free from the forces of stasis and they succumb as victims of fate. A consistent pattern of imagery associated with these different categories augments the psychological dramas of the characters. Stead's method of characterisation is a process of unmasking as each aspect of the multi‚ÄövÑvÆfaceted personae in her dramas is revealed in the different roles they enact. Speech, in dramatic monologues and dialogue, exhibits a strong theatrical bias. Her characters are represented as actors in their plays of life and their actions, speech and gesture accord with this. Stead's dramatic method combines detached naturalistic observation of and close engagement with her characters and their situations. Her presentation allows her characters to expose themselves directly in their ironic predicaments. In using this method, Stead has much in common with the dramatist. The principles of her 'drama of the person' operate throughout the novels making her work an ongoing drama. The major novels are examined, for the most part chronologically, as a demonstration of this ongoing drama.

description: We address the question of the optimal choice of loading material for antenna miniaturization. A new approach to identify the optimal loading material, dielectric or magnetic, is presented for resonant antennas. Instead of equivalent resonance circuits or transmission-line models, we use the analysis of radiation to identify the fields contributing mostly to the stored energy. This helps to determine the beneficial material type. The formulated principle is qualitatively illustrated using three antenna types. Guidelines for different antenna types are presented.

description: This resource is a single blog post created as part of the Day of Archaeology initiative. The Day of Archaeology project aimed to provide a window into the daily lives of archaeologists from all over the world. The project asked people working, studying or volunteering in the archaeological world to participate in a 'Day of Archaeology' each year by recording their day and sharing it through text, images or video on the Day of Archaeology blog.
The project asked anyone with a personal, professional or voluntary interest in archaeology to get involved, and help highlight the reasons why archaeology is vital to protect the past and inform our futures. The resulting Day of Archaeology project archive demonstrates the wide variety of work the archaeological profession undertakes day-to-day across the globe, and helps to raise public awareness of the relevance and importance of archaeology to the modern world.
The first ever Day of Archaeology was held in 2011 and, since then, the project had thousands of archaeologists take part in the event, from those working in the field through to specialists working in laboratories and behind computers. The last Day of Archaeology was on Friday 28th July 2017.

The effects of branched chain amino acid supplementation on indicators of muscle damage after prolonged strenuous exercise
Creators: name: Coombes, Jeff Scott
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) supplementation is becoming more widely used by athletes in an attempt to improve their recovery between training or competition. This study examined the effects of the supplementation on indicators of muscle damage after intense prolonged exercise. Sixteen male subjects were used in the study with eight taking BCAA supplementation and eight acting as the control group. The experimental group were required to take the manufacturer's recommended dose for the 14 days oi iesiing. For the seven days before the exercise test both groups had their blood analysed every second day for creatine kinase and lactate dehydrogenase which have been shown to be accurate indicators of muscle damage. The exercise test was a 120 minute bicycle ride at 70% of their predetermined VO2max. Directly after the exercise and hourly for 4 hours all subjects again had blood samples analysed. The experimental group continued to take supplementation for 7 days after the test and all subjects had their blood analysed every second day. Subjects were also required to keep activity to a minimum and have their diet analysed during the 14 days and manipulated if necessary to ensure that the recommended daily Intake of BCAA's were being consumed as part of their normal diet. Results indicated that all subjects' diets did not require manipulation as they all consumed the recommended daily intake of BCAA's in their normal diet. No significant differences were found between any of the two enzyme values in the 7 days prior to the test. There were, however, significant changes in pre-exercise and post-exercise values for LDH at 2 hrs., 3 hrs., 4 hrs., 1 day, 2 days and 4 days after the test (p<0.05). There were also significant changes in pre -exercise and post-exercise values for CK at 4 hrs., 1 day, 2 days and 4 days after the test. The BCAA was shown to significantly (p<0.05) reduce this change in LDH at 3 hrs., 4 hrs. and 1 day and CK at 4 hrs., 1 day and 2 days post exercise. These results indicate that supplementary Branched Chain Amino Acids significantly reduce the levels of the intramuscular enzymes creatine kinase and lactate dehydrogenase after prolonged strenuous exercise. This suggests that the supplementation may reduce muscle damage.
