description: The World Trade Organization (WTO) rules on public stockholding programmes have been under discussion among member countries for quite some time and are likely to be at the heart of the WTO Ministerial Conference in Buenos Aires in December 2017. This article proposes a new approach to advance toward a permanent solution on public stockholding programmes. This approach is based on splitting WTO rules into two components: i) the rules that specify how the support provided by public stocks should be calculated; and ii) the rules that define how WTO disciplines on support should be calculated. It focuses on the first, more technical, component. The author provides a systematic analysis of the biases in current WTO rules for estimating the support provided to farmers through public stockholding programmes and puts forward a proposal to correct them.

Agricultural and Food Policy

description: The Uruguay Round’s Agreement on Agriculture (AoA) categorized “domestic support” according to its presumed effect on trade. Subsidies that were deemed to be “trade distorting” were subject to limits specified in member schedules. Those that were regarded as having no (or minimal) impacts on trade were sheltered from reduction obligations. In practice, few countries have provided tradedistorting support to the level allowed, and so the limits have acted only as a “loose” constraint. Domestic agricultural policies have been radically reformed in a number of countries. This reform has been in the direction of reducing reliance on price supports in favor of direct payments. Subsidies to farming in developed countries operate through a variety of measures that provide incentives to remain in farming even when not tied to output and prices. Countries have found ways to adjust policy instruments to appear to show tradedistorting support reductions even when incentives to producers are maintained. Emerging and developing countries have increased their support to agriculture, often in ways that distort trade. Issues such as the purchase of grain for food reserves have sprung up, linking the restrictions on trade-distorting support with food security. In short, there is plenty of scope for improving the disciplines on domestic farm programs embodied in the AoA. Agricultural subsidies are also constrained by the Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures (ASCM), as that agreement applies to all subsidies related to the production of goods. Subsidies could violate the ASCM even if within the limits set by the AoA. So the ASCM might seem to be a more viable way to avoid the adverse trade impacts of domestic farm policies. The paper raises several questions that need to be faced while further developing subsidy rules in the World Trade Organization. Its primary focus is on whether the shift in the distribution of agricultural subsidies has changed the relevance of the AoA. Examining whether the AoA has successfully distinguished between “good” farm subsidies and “bad” ones, it considers whether the agreement has hindered agricultural subsidies that are deemed desirable for development and sustainability. It also thinks over the question of disciplining food subsidies and biofuel programs by counting them as agricultural subsidies. Finally, it deliberates on the benefit of keeping the AoA subsidy framework when the ASCM (perhaps revised) would do as well. The paper puts forth alternative suggestions, including dividing the Green Box into direct income payments and “public goods” payments, which could operate under different constraints, and phasing out the AoA over time by shifting some of its provisions to the ASCM.

description: Transparency is essential to the smooth functioning of a trade system. Improved transparency in agricultural policies and markets will allow trade to play a full role in achieving global food security. The situation has improved since the Uruguay Round, with extensive monitoring activities embedded in WTO Agreements. Monitoring of the obligations under the Agreement on Agriculture (AoA) has led to the collection of considerable data on the policies of WTO Members. This data provides the basis for a deeper understanding of the extent to which policies are consistent with the smooth functioning of the trade system. The monitoring has, however, been tardy and Members’ classification of policies has been inconsistent. Certain policies that are crucial to food security, including biofuel subsidies and export restrictions, have not been adequately notified to the relevant WTO Committees. The 2008 Draft Modalities contains a revised Article 18 of the AoA that would strengthen rules on notification and encourage more scrutiny by the Committee on Agriculture of country policies. It would also improve transparency if the notifications relating to obligations under the AoA were to be aligned with notifications of the same subsidies under the Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures. This should include the notification of biofuel subsidies. Notification and binding of export restrictions for nonagricultural products has been discussed in the Non-Agricultural Market Access talks in the Doha Round—if this were instituted for agricultural products the transparency of the trade system would improve. Coordination of the WTO and OECD databases would lead to a more useful basis for policy evaluation. In addition, more information on agricultural policies could be integrated with the Trade Policy Reviews of WTO Members.

Abstract: HIV-associated sensory neuropathy (HIV-SN) is the most common neurological condition associated with HIV. HIV-SN has characteristics of an inflammatory pathology caused by the virus itself and/or by antiretroviral treatment (ART). Here, we assess the impact of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in a cluster of three genes that affect inflammation and neuronal repair: P2X7R, P2X4R and CAMKK2. HIV-SN status was assessed using the Brief Peripheral Neuropathy Screening tool, with SN defined by bilateral symptoms and signs. Forty-five SNPs in P2X7R, P2X4R and CAMKK2 were genotyped using TaqMan fluorescent probes, in DNA samples from 153 HIV(+) black Southern African patients exposed to stavudine. Haplotypes were derived using the fastPHASE algorithm, and SNP genotypes and haplotypes associated with HIV-SN were identified. Optimal logistic regression models included demographics (age and height), with SNPs (model p

description: Among three series of 1,2,4-trioxane derivatives, five compounds showed good in vitro antimalarial activity, three compounds of which exhibited better activity against P. falciparum resistant (RKL9) strain than the sensitive (3D7) one. Two best compounds were one from aryl series and the other from heteroaryl series with IC50 values of 1.24 µM and 1.24 µM and 1.06 µM and 1.17 µM, against sensitive and resistant strains, respectively. Further, trioxane derivatives exhibited good binding affinity for the P. falciparum cysteine protease falcipain 2 receptor (PDB id: 3BPF) with well defined drug-like and pharmacokinetic properties based on Lipinski’s rule of five with additional physicochemical and ADMET parameters. In view of having antimalarial potential, 1,2,4-trioxane derivative(s) reported herein may be useful as novel antimalarial lead(s) in the discovery and development of future antimalarial drug candidates as P. falciparum falcipain 2 inhibitors against resistant malaria.

description: Led by the question of how a viol was constructed in Ganassi’s time, the Basle research project concerning early string instruments involved organology and art history. The question of typical constructional elements involved the organological examination of 16th century viols in Leipzig, Lisbon, Vienna and Nuremberg. Recent advances in technology and academic studies have brought new data to the documentation of such previously-studied instruments. A critical interpretation of iconographical sources considering the type of art work, technique and even its functional and social context also brought new aspects to light. Can a close look at these new details and the instruments themselves find similarities that form typical constructional elements, within which diverse regional schools of viol building can be identified? The neck-body connection, the ribs, the top thickness allocation and outer shape are indicators that give particular hints of what may have been a viol-making “default” in several areas of Ganassi’s Italy.

Abstract: Sensory neuropathy (SN) is a common and difficult to manage cause of chronic pain in HIV. Recent recommendations for earlier HIV treatment and avoidance of neurotoxic antiretroviral drugs (such as stavudine) have led to optimism that HIV-SN rates may decline. We present several reasons as to why HIV-SN is likely to remain prevalent, despite improvements in HIV management, together with clinical evidence confirming high HIV-SN rates in cohorts never exposed to neurotoxic medications. A combination of epidemiologic studies, laboratory work and clinical trials are needed to understand the problem of HIV-SN in the post-stavudine era. Improved HIV-SN prevention and management strategies are needed if the morbidity associated with HIV infection is to improve along with life expectancy.

description: The current studies entail systematic development of SNEOFs containing long-chain triglycerides for improving lymphatic targeting of darunavir for complete inhibition of HIV progression. As per QbD-oriented approach for formulation development, the QTPP was defined and CQAs were earmarked. Preformulation equilibrium solubility and phase diagram studies, and risk assessment through FMEA studies identified Lauroglycol 90, Tween 80 and Transcutol HP as the lipid, emulgent and cosolvent, respectively, for formulating SNEOFs of darunavir. Systematic optimisation of SNEOFs was conducted using IV-optimal mixture design, and the optimised formulation was chosen through numerical desirability function. Characterisation of optimised SNEOFs exhibited globule size of 50 nm, >85% drug release within 15 min and >75% permeation within 45 min. In vivo lymph cannulation and in situ intestinal perfusion studies indicated significant improvement in the drug absorption parameters from SNEOFs via intestinal lymphatic pathways, owing primarily to the presence of long-chain triglycerides. Also, in vivo pharmacokinetic studies in rat corroborated significant improvement in rate and extent of drug absorption into plasma vis-à-vis pure drug. In a nutshell, these studies indicate significant improvement in the biopharmaceutical attributes of a robust and stable SNEOFs formulation of darunavir for holistic management of viral loads in lymph and blood.

Im vorliegenden Artikel werden mögliche Erklärungsansätze zur Entstehung von Langzeit- und Generalisierungseffekten aufgezeigt und Hypothesen zum Zusammenhang zwischen Merkmalen von Hilfestel- lungen aus der Wortabruftherapie und Langzeit- bzw. Generalisierungseffekten aufgestellt. Grundlage bilden Arbeiten zu Grundfragen der Therapie und die detaillierte Analyse von acht ausgewählten Studien. Die acht Hypothesen zeigen mögliche positive Zusammenhänge mit folgenden Faktoren auf: Hilfestellungshierarchien mit vielen Abstufungen; Hilfestellungshierarchien, die mit einer Aufforderung zur Beschreibung der Funktion des Zielwortes durch den Patienten anfangen; multimodale Hilfestellungshierarchien; Ablenker innerhalb einer Hilfestellung; unspezifische Ergänzungssätze. Die aufgestellten Hypothesen werden abschliessend in einem grösseren Zusammenhang diskutiert. Sie sollen nicht in erster Linie der Bestimmung eindimensionaler Zusam- menhänge dienen, sondern als möglicher Baustein für das Verständnis des komplexen Zusammenspiels zahl- reicher Einflussfaktoren auf die langfristige und generalisierende Wirkung von Aphasie-Therapie angesehen werden.

description: The paper presents the implementation of a dense multi-view stereo matching pipeline for the evaluation of image sequences from a camera-based mobile mapping system. For this purpose the software system SURE is taken as a basis. Originally this system was developed to provide 3D point clouds or DEM from standard airborne and terrestrial image blocks. Since mobile mapping scenarios typically include stereo configurations with camera motion predominantly in viewing direction, processing steps like image rectification and structure computation of the existing processing pipeline had to be adapted. The presented investigations are based on imagery captured by the mobile mapping system of the Institute of Geomatics Engineering in the city center of Basel, Switzerland. For evaluation, reference point clouds from terrestrial laser scanning are used. Our first results already demonstrate a considerable increase in reliability and completeness of both depth maps and point clouds as result of the matching process.
Investigating the function of the ventral visual reading pathway and its involvement in acquired reading disorders
Creators: name: Woodhead, Zoe V. J.
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2011

description: This thesis investigated the role of the left ventral occipitotemporal (vOT) cortex and how damage to this area causes peripheral reading disorders. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies in volunteers demonstrated that the left vOT is activated by written words over numbers or perceptually-matched baselines, irrespective of the word’s location on the visual field. Mixed results were observed for the comparison of words versus false font stimuli. This response profile suggests that the left vOT is preferentially activated by words or word-like stimuli, due to either: (1) bottom-up specialisation for processing familiar word-forms; (2) top-down task-dependent modulation, or (3) a combination of the two. Further studies are proposed to discriminate between these possibilities. Thirteen patients with left occipitotemporal damage participated in the rehabilitation and fMRI studies. The patients were impaired on word, text and letter reading. A structural analysis showed that damage to the left occipitotemporal white matter, in the vicinity of the inferior longitudinal fasciculus, was associated with slow word reading speed. The fMRI study showed that the patients had reduced activation of the bilateral posterior superior temporal sulci relative to controls. Activity in this area correlated with reading speed. The efficacy of intensive whole-word recognition training was tested. Immediately after the training, trained words were read faster than untrained words, but the effects did not persist until the follow-up assessment. Hence, damage to the left vOT white matter impairs rapid whole-word recognition and is resistant to rehabilitation. The final study investigated the role of spatial frequency (SF) in the lateralisation of vOT function. Lateralisation of high and low SF processing was demonstrated, concordant with the lateralisation for words and faces to the left and right vOT respectively. A perceptual basis for the organisation of vOT cortex might explain why left vOT damage is resistant to treatment.

description: BackgroundDescriptive quantitative researchers often use surveys to collect data about a group or phenomenon. Determining the required sample size in descriptive surveys can pose a challenge as there is no simple 'formula' by which to calculate an appropriate sample. However, when a sample is too small the study may fail to answer the research question and too many responses can create resource implications.AimTo explore considerations regarding the justification of adequate sample size in descriptive quantitative research.DiscussionSeveral considerations may assist quantitative descriptive researchers in examining the appropriateness and justification of sample size. Response rates can guide decision-making around the proportion of the target population who respond. Additionally, consideration of any validated tools, the spread or responses and types of analysis can guide sampling decisions.ConclusionThe strategies in this article provide a considered approach to justifying sample size in descriptive quantitative research. Factors such as response rates and analytical considerations provide a transparent means of justifying an adequate sample.Implications for practiceProviding clear justification for the sample size within descriptive quantitative research demonstrates a robust research approach and optimises resource use.

description: Mechanical ventilation, essential for the support of patients with acute lung injury (ALI), causes exacerbation of the existing pathology, a process termed ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI). The pro-inflammatory cytokine tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF) has been consistently implicated in ALI/VILI. TNF activates two receptors, TNFR p55 and p75 that act in opposition during VILI to promote or protect against pulmonary oedema formation, respectively, but the mechanisms underlying this are unknown. Alveolar and plasma soluble TNFR (sTNFR) levels are elevated in ventilated ALI patients and associated with mortality. However, the relevance of these increases is unclear. This project had two main aims: to investigate kinetics and sources of sTNFRs in the alveoli and plasma and investigate mechanisms underlying differential TNFR signalling during VILI, using in vivo mouse models. Investigation of intraalveolar sTNFRs during VILI, and also ALI induced by intratracheal administration of hydrochloric acid or bacterial toxins, showed that intraalveolar sTNFRs are differentially regulated during ALI: VILI/hydrochloric acid induced leakage of sTNFR p55 and p75 from plasma, whereas bacterial toxins induced intraalveolar p75 production. These differences have important implications for TNF signalling and potential use as clinical markers. Investigation of plasma sTNFRs suggests that VILI induces direct production of sTNFRs by the pulmonary vasculature, as opposed to leakage of intraalveolar sTNFRs into the circulation as previously suggested. Development of a flow cytometry technique to study pulmonary TNFR expression was successfully validated using TNFR deficient tissue, but consolidation of data by immunohistochemistry was unsuccessful. Investigation of differential TNFR signalling mechanisms showed that following intratracheal fluid administration, p75 deficient mice exhibit physiological changes consistent with impaired fluid reabsorption, implicating p75 in lung fluid reabsorption during VILI. These data offer new, potentially clinically applicable insights into the involvement of TNFR biology in VILI/ALI and the novel methodologies developed herein constitute useful tools for future research.

description: Excerpts from the report: Demand for outdoor recreation facilities is growing rapidly. Population, leisure time, mobility, and disposable income (spending money) are on the increase. More people are going more places and spending more time and money on recreation than ever before. Types of outdoor summer recreation activities most popular in 1960 were driving for pleasure, swimming, walking for pleasure, playing outdoor games or sports, sightseeing, picnicking, fishing, and boating. “Outdoor recreation activity, already a major part of American life, will triple by the year 2000.” Farms can and do provide vacation facilities for some or all of the popular recreation activities. An analysis was made of the development of local farm vacation associations and of experiences of farm owners providing such facilities. These farms are located in East Central Ohio, where the Switzerland of Ohio Farm Vacation Association was formed in 1960 in Monroe and Belmont Counties. This was probably the first local association of farm families who provide vacation facilities. Similar associations later were formed in Carroll, Guernsey, and Noble Counties. Farm vacation developments in these five counties are the focal point of the study.

description: Geschichte kann unterschiedlich erzählt werden und umstritten sein – gerade in offenen, demokratischen Gesellschaften wie der Schweiz. Um Kontroversen um Geschichte und Geschichtskultur zu verstehen und daran teilhaben zu können, ist es essenziell, Schüler*innen die notwendigen historischen und politischen Kompetenzen zu vermitteln. Lehrplan, Lehrmittel und der vorliegende empirische Forschungsstand deuten jedoch an, dass die Auseinandersetzung mit umstrittener Geschichte im Unterricht noch marginalisiert sein dürfte. Die neue Ressource PBTools schafft hier Abhilfe und unterstützt Lehrpersonen dabei, Kontroversen in und um Geschichtskultur gezielt und produktiv zum Thema zu machen, unter anderem unter Rückgriff auf das Angebot Mal denken! der Schweizerischen Akademie für Geistes- und Sozialwissenschaften (SAGW). Ziel ist es, die Lernenden mit unterschiedlichen Perspektiven auf Geschichtskultur vertraut zu machen, ihnen eine eigenständige Urteilsbildung zu ermöglichen und sie so zur gesellschaftlichen Teilhabe zu befähigen.
Labelling Human-Object-Interaction images by attribute based modelling

description: In this research, we have proposed a novel attribute-centric approach towards classifying Human-Object-Interactions (HOI) from RGBD images. Unlike the other contemporary methods in HOI classification, our approach takes into consideration the physical attributes of the Human, Object, and Ambience (nearby object) contexts to classify HOI images robustly. We argue that the attributes (i.e. object appearance, object shape, object material, human body poses, etc.) are distributed and shared between different HOI classes and thus give a compact and discriminative representation of the HOI.
Information Transfer and Communication in Surgical Care

description: Effective Information transfer and Communication is one of the key aspects of good medical practice and essential for surgical safety. High reliability organisations such as aviation have highlighted the importance of communication for safety and regularly provide communication skills training to their team members via Crew resource management (CRM) module. This report discusses important aspects of communication research in high-risk environments and confers its application in surgery. It analyses the nature and scope of communication failures in surgical field. The thesis has taken bottom-up approach unlike other research in this field, which has taken a top-down approach. First we have mapped and analysed the communication failures across the entire surgical pathway. Analysis of full pathway is critical as communication failures are not discrete events; information loss in one phase of care can potentially compromise safety in a subsequent phase. After the analysis, user-centred interventions were developed and implemented to enhance the information transfer and communication in the postoperative handover phase. Results show that information transfer and communication failures are ubiquitous and distributed across the continuum of surgical care. These findings indicate that there is a room for improvement for enhancing ITC in surgical care. There is an imminent need for standardizing and structuring communication through use of checklists, proformas, care pathways and information technology. Subsequently we have demonstrated that standardization of ITC process through the implementation of postoperative handover proforma has improved the information transfer and decreased the ITC errors. It is hoped that this thesis provides a first step towards understanding, assessing and improving information transfer and communication through entire surgical care pathway, which in a long run will improve surgical safety.

description: Ovarian cancer is a devastating disease affecting millions of women worldwide. Initially successful chemotherapy using platinum-based drugs is often followed by a relapse after which platinum therapy is usually ineffective and prognosis poor. The mechanism by which platinum resistance develops and its reversal to a more sensitive phenotype are of major interest in modern medical oncology, especially for ovarian cancer which has overall low survival rates. In this study, different types of in vivo-derived and in vitro cell models of platinum resistance were examined within a metabolic context using ¹H NMR spectroscopy and bioinformatics-based approaches to test the hypothesis that a metabolic signature of a platinum resistance phenotype could be defined. The in vitro-derived cell models of platinum resistance focused on the study of the Mlh1 gene, whose loss of expression has been shown to play a role in the development of resistance to platinum drugs and mitochondrial dysfunction. A comparative metabolic analysis of a transient Mlh1 expression cell model (HEK-293T) involving kidney cell lines of common genetic background and the ovarian cancer cell lines A2780 and its platinum resistant sub-line CP70 of well-established Mlh1 status was conducted. This resulted in the definition of a metabolic signature associated with Mlh1 expression, which included metabolites such as glutathione, alanine, myo-inositol and phosphocholine. It also achieved to associate the loss of MLh1 to mitochondria. The in vivo-imitating cell model focused on the normoxic & hypoxic baseline metabolic profiling of isogenic ovarian cancer cells that were clinically sensitive (PEA1 and PEO1) or resistant (PEA2 and PEO4) to platinum. The ¹H NMR-generated results showed oxygen level-related changes in glucose, lactate, pyruvate, acetate, and choline-related metabolites. Overall, this study managed to contribute towards the understanding of platinum resistance in ovarian cancer through a metabolic spectrum using a variety of analytical and methodological tools.
