description: Water splitting is important to a green energy future. Current issues with efficient water splitting include degradation of the fuel cell materials, thermal expansion, and transport through the material. Precise control of nanomaterial composition and morphology are among a materials scientist's tools to design novel low-cost and efficient materials. One way to improve material performance through controlling the composition is to create a high entropy oxide. There has been great interest in high entropy oxide systems because of the ability to combine multiple well-performing cations into one oxide phase, taking advantage of the synergistic effect. This work focuses on Ba, Sr, Ca, Co, Fe, and Mn cations (promising candidates for solid oxide fuel cell electrodes) in the perovskite ABO3 structure. Controlling the synthesis method to achieve single-phase, high entropy materials and maintaining nanomorphology will be discussed in this presentation. Aerogel synthesis is done in an autoclave with pseudo supercritical fluid drying, which allows immediate departure of the solvent and promotes nanomaterial production, resulting in a dry powder. However, subsequent calcination steps to achieve a single-phase oxide often sinters the materials, which removes the desired morphology. Different morphologies are of interest to be used in solid oxide fuel cells because it may improve performance depending on the unique surfaces that are exposed with different free energies.

L’analisi dei dati provenienti da osservazioni nei raggi X e in banda radio svolte nel corso di 15 anni ha permesso di capire con grande accuratezza cosa sta succedendo in un sistema composto da un buco nero e una stella. Il buco nero strappa gas dalla compagna e forma un esteso disco attorno a sé. Poi, dalla zona più spessa e vicina del disco, chiamata corona, una parte di quel gas sfugge via dal buco nero, venendo accelerata a velocità prossime a quella della luce sotto forma di getti.

description: Contemporary studies of queer tourism overwhelmingly focus on white upper middle-class gay and lesbian travel experiences (Puar, 2002) and rarely discuss queer tourism emerging from the Global South, and more specifically Africa. At the same time, Africa has gained global notoriety as a homophobic continent (Nyong’o, 2012 & Wahab, 2016) and these two factors reinscribe the image of a rights-stripped queer Africa rendering the continent itself incapacious for queer tourism. This thesis examines the intersection of race, sexuality and geopolitics that render African queer mobility invisible within contemporary queer tourism studies. I argue that the result of situating the queer consumer and tourist exclusively within the Global North is a perpetuation of colonialist and racist stereotypes of queer Africans as impoverished victims of homophobic states and perpetual asylum seekers. Throughout this thesis, I wrestle with the question of how the queer African subject negotiates his / her / their identity as queer citizens of the Global South, whose queer Black bodies become the sites upon which Western driven gay rights are negotiated and projected. Through a qualitative study of their leisure-travels in Europe and the United States, I explore the experiences of queer Africans, and how they navigate their queerness and racial identity in Euro-American queer spaces that are predominantly White populated. I problematize contemporary transnational sexuality studies’ erasure of non-Western queer mobility. I also interrogate the Western driven LGBT rights discourses that mark Black queer rights as inconceivable in the Global South. While these discourses posit equality for all queers, I contend that they fail to account for global structures of inequality, such as customs and border control policies and practices that overwhelmingly limit international mobility for queer citizens of the Global South while rendering their governments incapable of the socio-political capital to guarantee protection of human rights for their citizens.

description: Educational governance has garnered attention recently in school reform literature. One main question is whether appointed school boards can improve education performance where elected school boards have failed to produce good outcomes. This is essentially a question of regulatory control. Economic theory suggests that how public officials and regulators are chosen will affect the outcomes within the regulated industry. Using demographic and school finance data from 1992 to 2008, I show that while there are some differences in resource allocation between school districts governed by boards with appointed members and those governed by wholly elected boards, these governance structures do not have an observable impact on education quality, as measured by the school district’s market share.

description: With the exponentially growing smartphone market, more and more people desire to have a multipurpose handheld device that not only supports voice communication and text messaging, but also provides video streaming, multimedia entertainment, etc. A crucial problem with a handheld device that enables video streaming is how to prolong the battery lifetime given the large amount of energy consumed by video transmission, decoding, and presentation. Thus, it is essential to have an in-depth understanding of power consumption required by video transmission, decoding, and presentation. The knowledge can be utilized to identify power-hungry components and to provide insight into how power consumption can be reduced for such components. Our experiments show that energy is mainly consumed by the wireless radio, the application processor, and the display system in a typical handheld device. More specifically, our research focuses on the streaming services where video is streamed over the 3G/4G network, decoded on ARM application processors and rendered on HD displays. To tackle the problem, we first propose power optimization algorithms for the 3G/4G radio, the ARM processor, and the display subsystem individually. By integrating all the algorithms, we build GreenVideo, a framework for energy-efficient video streaming to handheld devices. The system is validated with a large amount of real world videos from YouTube and the experimental results show that GreenVideo achieves significant power reductions.

description: Stealth journal takeovers, that is, the discreet acquisition of established academic journals by entities with questionable publishing practices, represent an emerging threat to the integrity of scholarly communication. This study proposes a set of bibliometric analyses to detect such takeovers, focusing on sudden shifts in citation patterns and authorship networks. Based on an analysis of 55 journals linked to a known network of related publishers, we identify substantial increases in cross-journal citations and shared authorship following ownership transitions, often between journals with no clear thematic connection. These patterns may serve as early warning signals for bibliographic databases and other academic stakeholders aiming to avoid compromised journals. Our findings also demonstrate the potential of scientometric methods to support the detection of problematic publishing practices, contributing to the growing field of forensic scientometrics.

description: 1. As natural forests decline and intensively managed forest plantations, particularly eucalypt plantations, rise globally, understanding these plantations' ecological impacts becomes crucial. This research evaluates bird diversity in four land-use types, comparing eucalypt plantations to shrublands (directly replaced land-use), agricultural lands (alternative land-use), and riparian forests (surrogate for potential natural vegetation). Moreover, the influence of habitat heterogeneity within eucalypt plantations on birds’ community assembly was tested using variables representing vegetation structure and composition, and landscape context.2. Taxonomic diversity was assessed through species richness and Shannon's equitability index, while functional diversity was analysed using functional richness, evenness, divergence, and dispersion. Bird species were categorised into functional groups based on traits related to diet, foraging and nesting substrates, and size.3. Eucalypt plantations had the lowest taxonomic diversity, with significantly fewer bird species and lower species evenness than the other three land-uses. Functional diversity showed less variation among land-uses; however, functional richness was notably lower in eucalypt plantations. Functional divergence was higher in eucalypt plantations than in agricultural lands but did not differ significantly from riparian forests or shrublands. Functional group analysis revealed that bird abundances in eucalypt plantations were generally lower than in other land-uses, with notable deficits in most bird functional groups. Habitat heterogeneity within eucalypt plantations, particularly vegetation structure and composition, significantly influenced bird functional group abundances. Factors like eucalypt cover and height negatively impacted certain bird functional groups, while understory cover and height had positive effects.4. The study highlights the significant biodiversity loss associated with eucalypt plantations, particularly in comparison to indirectly replaced land-uses (riparian forests and agricultural lands). Although eucalypt plantations support similar functional richness to the land-use they directly replace (shrublands), they still contribute to the decline in ecosystem services provided by birds. Proper management of eucalypt plantations, such as enhancing vegetation structure complexity, could mitigate negative biodiversity impacts and improve sustainability in this critical economic sector.

subject: Upper limb prosthetic

description: The goal of this study is to determine how the needs of those who operate upper limb prosthetics can be met so that the prosthetic retention rate is higher, reflecting an improvement in their quality of life. As we use our extremities to feel and interact with our environment, it is crucial that developments are made specifically in the hands to allow individuals to complete tasks that require high dexterity and precision. Upper limb prosthetic users have a high rate of abandonment due to the lack of ownership and embodiment felt regarding the prosthetic limb [1]. Improved functionality of the prosthetic limb would reduce the load applied to the functional limb, which would lead to better prosthetic retention. Another area for improvement that is addressed in this literature review is the accuracy of the BCI component in signal acquisition and translation to prosthetic automation. Accuracy is important not only for functionality but for a sense of self in the user. A sense of self is vital for those using prosthetic limbs as the goal is for it to be a cohesive part of the user. This review will discuss the different methods for data acquisition and how to improve the accuracy of the resultant movement.

description: This presentation reviews the potential contributions of integrative therapies in treatment of PTSD, the biopsychosocial model as related to PTSD, and rationale for dyadic intervention that involves Veterans and their significant relationship partners in collaborative management of the challenges of PTSD. It will then describe a randomized controlled trial with 160 post-9/11 Veteran/partner dyads that evaluated impact of an online, self-directed, home-based wellness training program called Mission Reconnect (MR) employing instruction in selected integrative therapies. The multimedia intervention uses both video and audio content to provide instruction in mindfulness-related stress reduction and self-regulation practices, contemplative practice focused on compassion, and instruction in simple massage techniques for mutual use. The program is designed to promote individual and relationship well being in Veterans and their partners affected by the stresses of past military deployment and reintegration. The main study evaluated impact of the intervention on a range of mental health outcomes in a community-based sample that was self-selected and required no diagnostic screening criteria. Participants were recruited via publicity by the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA) to its membership. This presentation reviews findings for the subset of Veterans in the sample who entered the study with baseline levels on the PCL-C at or above 50, which is commonly regarded as a diagnostic threshold for a diagnosis of PTSD. Results of the full study are described in a forthcoming publication (Journal of Medical Internet Research, in press, fall 2016).

description: This thesis is presented as a preliminary and explorative endeavor about the role Information and Communication Technologies have, or may have, in the field of Conflict Prevention and Conflict Resolution. Even if this field hasn‘t been strengthened by years of academic research, its relevance is increasingly emerging in relation to social and political contexts where processes – more or less conflictual – are characterizing new forms of civic and political participation, encouraging democratization movements in public life. Relying on a selected body of literature on the topic, this thesis work begins by a socio-political perspective on the impact of ICTs as new forms of information, communication and participation. It then develops an analysis concerning different uses of these technologies by social actors holding different levels of power, and finishes with the focus on the potentialities ICTs have in relation to the Conflict Resolution field.

Makrofaagide aktivatsiooni sündroom (MAS) on JIA tõsine, potentsiaalselt eluohtlik tüsistus, mida iseloomustab liigne T-lümfotsüütide ja makrofaagide aktivatsioon ning paljunemine, mille tulemuseks on suurtes kogustes proinflammatoorsete tsütokiinide tootmine organismis ning vastavate kliiniliste ja laboratoorsete ilmingute teke.
Artiklis kirjeldatud haigusjuhu puhul kujunes 7aastasel tüdrukul viis aastat pärast JIA diagnoosimist MAS. Aasta pärast diagnoosimist muutus haigus pidevalt ägenevaks ja ravile allumatuks, seda nii sünteetilistele kui ka 1. ja 2. valiku bioloogilistele haiguskulgu modifitseerivatele ravimitele vaatamata. MASi teket võisid põhjustada nii ägedana püsiv põhihaigus, selle kontrollimiseks kasutatavad ravimid kui ka lisandunud pneumotsüstitekkene pneumoonia. MASi raviks kasutati suures annuses glükokortikoidhormooni veenisisest pulssravi ja tsüklosporiini, mille foonil protsess taandus.

description: How do individuals become radicalized, turning into terrorists, insurgents, violent actors.Computational agent-based models of irregular warfare, internal war, domestic political violence, and related conflicts require violent agents capable of carrying out attacks. Rather than introducing such agents as an exogenous process, as a Deus ex machina, this paper presents an agent-based model where radicalization is generated as an emergent phenomenon from within a population of individuals. The model (tentatively called “MASONRadicalAgent’’) is based on a new process-based theory of individual radicalization and is implemented in the MASON simulation system. Our paper describes the underlying theory, model structure, and some preliminary results intended for demonstration.This modeling effort is part of a broader project for modeling conflict in complex polities by combining computational simulations and network models.

 Ganitrus roxburghii Wight stands as a replacement name for Elaeocarpus ganitrus Roxb. ex G.Don because the tautonym created by a direct transfer of the basionym would be invalid. Don cited Rumphius’s plate in his protologue but made no mention of specimens. I therefore select the Rumphius plate as lectotype.

description: Death and disability related to substance use disorder have increased substantially over the past couple of decades. Most adults with substance use disorder initiated substance use as adolescents, making adolescence a critical period for the prevention of substance use and substance use disorder. It is therefore important to identify risk factors for adolescent substance use. Recent research has demonstrated the role of altered affective processing in adolescent substance use. Unfortunately, most of this research has employed self-report and behavioral methods, which, while valuable, are limited in comparison to other methods, namely functional neuroimaging, in detecting subtle neural-level differences in affective processing and how it relates to adolescent substance use. Thus, the focus of this dissertation is on neural affective processing and adolescent substance use employing functional neuroimaging. In Study 1 of this dissertation, a systematic review of neuroimaging studies examining affective processing and adolescent substance use was conducted. Results revealed that higher activation in midcingulo-insular regions—particularly the striatum—to positive affective stimuli (e.g., monetary reward) was most often associated with initiation and low-level use of substances, whereas lower activation in these regions was most often associated with substance use disorder and higher-risk substance use. In regard to negative affective stimuli, most research demonstrated associations between higher activation of midcingulo-insular network regions and adolescent substance use. Associations between activation in additional network regions (e.g., frontoparietal, pericentral) and adolescent substance use were mixed. To extend findings from Study 1, Study 2 of this dissertation was an empirical study examining how patterns of neural activation in two standardized and one naturalistic affective processing tasks classify substance use as well as predict substance use intentions and expectancies in 11–15-year-old adolescents (n = 168). Machine learning analyses were performed. Results did not provide evidence that neural activation to negative or positive affective stimuli—neither standardized nor naturalistic—could reliably classify adolescent substance use and predict adolescent substance use intentions and expectancies. Implications of all findings, as well as limitations and directions for future research are discussed.

description: Physical activity as an intervention for mental health and disorders is gaining increasing attention. The intent of this exploratory study was to investigate the levels of Swedish mental health professionals’ physical activity counseling, their use of counseling methods, as well as their attitudes toward and knowledge about this therapy. A non-experimental, cross-sectional survey design was used to structure the descriptive and correlational assessment of the 529 participating professionals working in the Stockholm County Council Healthcare Division. Nearly all participants used physical activity at least sometimes as an adjunctive therapy for the purpose of treating and preventing mental disorders. Physical activity counseling was found to be correlated with the use of counseling methods, attitudes, and knowledge. Further, there were significant differences among types of care and professions with regard to key study variables (Frequency, Behavior, Attitudes, and Knowledge of physical activity counseling). Implications for future research and practice are noted.
