description: Edible oil industry produced massive wastewater, which requires extensive treatment to remove pungent smell, high phosphate, carbon oxygen demand (COD), and metal ions prior to discharge. Traditional anaerobic and aerobic digestion could mainly reduce COD of the wastewater from oil refinery factories (WEORF). In this study, a robust oleaginous microalga Desmodesmus sp. S1 was adapted to grow in WEORF. The biomass and lipid content of Desmodesmus sp. S1 cultivated in the WEORF supplemented with sodium nitrate were 5.62 g·L−1 and 14.49%, whereas those in the WEORF without adding nitrate were 2.98 g·L−1 and 21.95%. More than 82% of the COD and 53% of total phosphorous were removed by Desmodesmus sp. S1. In addition, metal ions, including ferric, aluminum, manganese and zinc were also diminished significantly in the WEORF after microalgal growth, and pungent smell vanished as well. In comparison with the cells grown in BG-11 medium, the cilia-like bulges and wrinkles on the cell surface of Desmodesmus sp. S1 grown in WEORF became out of order, and more polyunsaturated fatty acids were detected due to stress derived from the wastewater. The study suggests that growing microalgae in WEORF can be applied for the dual roles of nutrient removal and biofuel feedstock production.

description: Mycotoxins represent a serious risk for human and animal health. Οchratoxin A (OTA) is a carcinogenic mycotoxin produced by A. carbonarius that constitutes a severe problem for viticulture. Within the framework of a recently EU funded project OchraVine Control (www.ochravine.eu), we investigate the development of novel detection and on-line monitoring approaches for OTA in the field (i.e. out of the chemical laboratory) using advanced molecular sensing. Both stand-alone and hyphenated mass spectrometry (MS) based systems (e.g. Time-of-Flight ToF-MS and gas chromatography GC combined with MS) and compact portable membrane inlet MS (MIMS) has been employed for the first time to detect and monitor, both qualitatively and quantitatively, volatile emissions of grapes infected by the fungus Aspergillus carbonarius. In vacuo (electron impact - EI) and ambient ionisation (electrospray ionisation - ESI) techniques were also examined. On-line monitoring of such compounds (for their early detection) in field conditions is of importance due to their potential negative impact on the crop production, the public health and the environment. MS and more specifically portable MIMS is a powerful, simple analytical technique ideal for in-situ applications that offers high sensitivity (low limits of detection), selectivity, fast and accurate analysis (within seconds), with no sample preparation requirements. Gas phase experiments were performed at concentration levels from low ppb to low ppm. Results obtained showed very good linearity within the examined concentration range, ppb limits of detection and fast response (rise and fall) times (within sec).

description: Οchratoxin A (OTA) is a very toxic mycotoxin that constitutes a severe problem for viticulture and taking into account the extreme climatic events that are frequently faced in recent years, the OTA problem is arising in wine and raisins/currants. OchraVine Control project offers an inexistent innovative, sustainable and integrated smart ICT solution (OchraVine Control DSS) considering fungal, host and environmental indicators that affect OTA contamination along the vine grape-wine value chain. The OchraVine Control DSS will allow prediction and monitoring at pre- and post-harvest level to control Aspergillus infection and OTA contamination in vine cultivation by combining epidemiological data, biological and chemical management strategies, post-harvest technologies and precision agriculture tools. OchraVine Control DSS solution will pursue a field-to-fork approach and will link and translate the information derived from the OchraRisk and OchraDetect predictive map tools and real data obtained during the monitoring controls by the OchraSensor. OchraVine Control DSS tool in combination with data from the OchraRed Integrated Management Strategy will provide risk prediction information (i.e. geographic OTA vine alerts), practical recommended solutions for OTA management and will verify the compliance with legislation requirements in a rapid and cost-effective way.

description: The Islamic Republic of Iran located on the largest transit routes for opiates smuggled in the world and opium is the most common drug of choice in this country. A meta-analysis study was conducted to estimate the opium abuse prevalence for Iranian young people. The meta-analysis was designed according to MOOSE guideline for review of observational studies. Factors related to heterogeneity of prevalence in national level was assessed using meta-regression multivariate model. The PubMed/Medline, ISI/Web of Science, and Scopus/Elsevier databases and reference lists of eligible articles were searched. A total of 52,173 samples were included in analysis (32,116 college students and 20,057 high school students). The pooled prevalence of opium abuse in male, female, and mixed was 6.0% (95% CI = 5.0–7.0%), 2.0% (95% CI = 1.0–2.0%), and 4.0% (95% CI = 3.0–5.0%), respectively. Meta-regression model found that prevalence was significantly higher in older students, and in studies with multistage sampling, and was lower in newer conducted studies. The prevalence of opium abuse in Iranian youth students is higher than for other countries as well as sampling methods, and the level of education and age is in association with variation in prevalence across provinces. Declining prevalence among male students during past 30 years is notable.

description: Teacher education programmes pursue the triple objective of transmitting knowledge, of initiating to a savoir fa ire and of developing certain attitudes. Research indicates that attitudes which precede preparation for teaching and which the programs attempt to modify tend to reappear continually in the practice of education. This observation brings the author to question the teacher educators' methodology and to propose a methodology of the recreation of knowledge which would make it possible for transmitted knowledge to influence the development of attitudes more effectively.

The Helping Model of Interpersonal Communication: Viable Alternatives for Teacher Education Programs
Creators: name: Fiordo, Richard
Publisher: name: Journal of Educational Thought / Revue de la Pensée Educative
Year: 2018

description: This article criticizes the extensive use of the helping model for interpersonal communication courses in teacher training programs. As one of several alternative models, the helping model is endorsed; as the sole model, it is criticized. While the humane goals of the helping model may be retained, it is argued that diverse means for attaining humane goals be utilized. The alternatives to the helping model discussed include the psychological perspectives of Maslow and Clarizio and Goldstein , the perspectives involving the management of human and public relations of Galleraman and Cutlip and Rapaport, and the rhetorical perspectives of Frye and Andersen and Freely. The article concludes with a reminder of the benefits associated with a limited use of the helping model for interpersonal courses in teaching programs and the burdens associated with the unlimited use of the helping model.

description: Pain disorders affect a large number of individuals throughout the world and are costly. Although randomized clinical trials assess the efficacy (i.e., how well treatments work in controlled settings) of pain pharmacotherapy, clinical trials do not assess effectiveness (i.e., how well treatments work in real-world settings). The number of observational studies that use real-world data to assess the effectiveness of medications is increasing rapidly in many disease areas. It is important for clinicians to understand how real-world data may be used to assess the effectiveness of medications. This paper aims to review the current body of literature assessing the effectiveness of pain pharmacotherapy using medical records. To do this, a literature search was conducted to identify papers published between January 2013 and September 2015 that examined the effectiveness of pain pharmacotherapy using electronic medical records. The search found only three papers meeting these criteria, which were described, reviewed, and critiqued in this paper. Electronic medical records are an underutilized source of data to assess pain outcomes in real-world settings. Although there are many methodological challenges in using these data, there is also great opportunity to impact clinical practice and explore the real-world effectiveness of pharmacotherapy used in pain management.

title: Idiosyncratic deals in context: a three-paper thesis
Creators: name: Ayeni, Dotun
Publisher: name: The University of Edinburgh
Year: 2024
Subjects: subject: idiosyncratic deals
subject: I-deals
subject: context
subject: socio-institutions
subject: temporality

description: This thesis presents three papers focusing on the significance of context in idiosyncratic deals (I-deals)- that is, non-standard, individualised employment arrangements negotiated between employees and their employers. The overarching research aim, evident across all three papers, is the role of contexts in I-deals negotiations and how contexts inform how different actors process and respond to I-deals negotiations. The role of contexts in I-deals negotiations is under-explored in extant I-deals literature. Context is predominantly treated as a universal and unchanging variable, with little consideration given to how contexts may shape why, how, and when I-deals emerge, as well as their outcomes. The three papers in this thesis address these context gaps. Providing a qualitative review and Critical Interpretive Synthesis (CIS) of extant empirical I-deals research, the first paper problematises how context is treated in empirical I-deals research and its implications for the understanding and practice of context in I-deals scholarship. In delineating macro context practice in empirical I-deals research, the existing universalistic, singularistic and descriptive approaches to contexts in I-deals are challenged. The second paper highlights the dynamic and multi-layered nature of context by focusing on the concept of temporality and its impact on the creation of I-deals at different time points. Drawing on evidence from three Nigerian firms in Healthcare, Capital Markets and Advertising, the paper investigates the role of temporal contexts (environmental, social, economic, individual) on I-deals and how organisational actors such as employer agents (supervisors, line managers, human resource managers) and I-dealers (employees who negotiate I-deals), respond to enabling and/or constraining temporal conditions during I-deals. Focusing on I-deals outcomes, the third paper explores the significance of contexts for why I-deals may be successful or unsuccessful and the resulting implications for I-deals contents and forms. Specifically, it investigates the underlying contextual forces shaping employer agents’ I-deals authorisation or decline and the impact on the contents and forms of I-deals observed within firms. Empirical evidence for this study was generated from two firms within Nigeria’s telecoms and law industry. This thesis extends I-deals research by exploring how contexts influence different phases of I-deals negotiations. Practical implications for employer agents and I-dealers are offered, one of which is that organisations experiencing considerable flux in their external environments should anticipate I-deals requests and determine how best to respond in line with their contextual realities.

 Taiy Tsadlh or Six Mile Hill has been used since prehistoric times for a variety of activities, ranging from recreation, a military fuel terminal, ceremony, subsistence, and game spotting. Archaeological investigations have revealed six extensive prehistoric sites further documenting the rich history of the area. Lithic artifacts and tools, as well as faunal remains, have expanded our understanding of prehistoric hunting and gathering subsistence activities. Data derived from these sites regarding lithic raw material acquisition and trade, as well as lithic tool creation, maintenance, and use have contributed to broader patterns of landscape use in the area.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: Four task-specific –SO3H functionalized imidazolium ionic liquids (ILs) were investigated for Brønsted acidities by Hammett functions. After knowing their thermal stabilities, the catalytic activity was observed for the preparation of 2-styrylquinolines by following consecutive Friedländer and Knoevenagel reactions in solvent-free thermal energy. The acidity order ([Dsim][OOCCF3] > [Dsim][OTs] > [Dsim][OOCCl3] > [Msim][OOCCF3]) of three ILs was consistent with their activity order observed in the acid-catalyzed synthesis of 2-styrylquinolines under solvent-free conditions at 90° C, with the exception of [Dsim][OTs]. The best catalytic activity was shown by 25 mol% of [Dsim][OOCCF3] IL. The less acidic IL required 50 mol% to give good yield of 2-styrylquinolines under the optimized condition.

description: As a Teacher's Assistant at university and a sponsor of student-teachers, I have learnt that teacher education programs do include discussions and activities around diversity and social justice. What remains untapped are teachers' abilities to recognize their own prejudices. This paper starts as an autobiographical piece. It tracks my teaching experience in a multicultural school where nearly 40% of the student population is identified as English as a Second Language. It shows that language can be a factor more prevalent in triggering discrimination than skin colour and that all five senses can prompt prejudice. For example, speaking Cantonese or Mandarin even in the hallways has become unacceptable for some staff members. The second half of my paper makes recommendations on how new teachers can address their own hidden prejudices by involving their students in classroom activities and community projects that focus on social justice.

description: Objectives: The 2 objectives of this study are to (1) examine the rib and sternal fractures sustained by small stature elderly females in simulated frontal crashes and (2) determine how the findings are characterized by prior knowledge and field data. Methods: A test series was conducted to evaluate the response of 5 elderly (average age 76 years) female postmortem human subjects (PMHS), similar in mass and size to a 5th percentile female, in 30 km/h frontal sled tests. The subjects were restrained on a rigid planar seat by bilateral rigid knee bolsters, pelvic blocks, and a custom force-limited 3-point shoulder and lap belt. Posttest subject injury assessment included identifying rib cage fractures by means of a radiologist read of a posttest computed tomography (CT) and an autopsy. The data from a motion capture camera system were processed to provide chest deflection, defined as the movement of the sternum relative to the spine at the level of T8. A complementary field data investigation involved querying the NASS-CDS database over the years 1997–2012. The targeted cases involved belted front seat small female passenger vehicle occupants over 40 years old who were injured in 25 to 35 km/h delta-V frontal crashes (11 to 1 o'clock). Results: Peak upper shoulder belt tension averaged 1,970 N (SD = 140 N) in the sled tests. For all subjects, the peak x-axis deflection was recorded at the sternum with an average of −44.5 mm or 25% of chest depth. The thoracic injury severity based on the number and distribution of rib fractures yielded 4 subjects coded as Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS) 3 (serious) and one as AIS 5 (critical). The NASS-CDS field data investigation of small females identified 205 occupants who met the search criteria. Rib fractures were reported for 2.7% of the female occupants. Conclusions: The small elderly test subjects sustained a higher number of rib cage fractures than expected in what was intended to be a minimally injurious frontal crash test condition. Neither field studies nor prior laboratory frontal sled tests conducted with 50th percentile male PMHS predicted the injury severity observed. Although this was a limited study, the results justify further exploration of the risk of rib cage injury for small elderly female occupants.

description: The unceasing concern for climate change, closely related to the exploitation of fossil fuels, pushes the scientific community to develop new technologies for CO2 capture and utilization (CCU). Moreover, the growth and diffusion of solar energy requires new energy storage systems that put solar fuels at the forefront. Methane seems to be a suitable energy vector, which could both store solar energy and exploit fossil fuel derived CO2. Moreover, methane has the main advantage of an already existing distribution and storage infrastructure. The methanation reaction from hydrogen and carbon dioxide (or monoxide) is generally carried out in staged adiabatic catalytic fixed beds operated at high pressure in order to overcome thermodynamic limitations. A recently proposed alternative pathway is the sorptionenhanced methanation concept, which is based on the employment of a sorbent able to capture in situ the H2O produced during reaction, to shift equilibrium towards the formation of CH4. In this work a CaO, derived from natural limestone, and a commercial 3A Zeolite were tested as sorbent materials for H2O capture in a new configuration for the sorption-enhanced methanation based on the concept of chemical looping in dual interconnected fluidized bed systems. The experimental campaign was aimed at studying the sorbent performance in terms of hydration and dehydration at different operating conditions relevant for catalytic methanation. The results showed that CaO has a good capacity to capture and release steam in the temperature range of interest. Unfortunately, even at the lowest temperatures tested, the sorbent is affected by the presence of CO2, which worsens its performance in terms of H2O capture capacity. The zeolite has a more stable behavior than CaO under all investigated conditions. Comparing the performance of the two materials, the zeolite on average has better capture capacity (0.017-0.049 g/g) than CaO (0.006-0.025 g/g) and it is not affected by deactivation during the cycles.

description: This paper explores the question "How might teacher education live well in a changing world?" through the lens of a particular course, "Interprofessional Practice in a Community Setting," offered at the University of Calgary during the 2005-2006 academic year. This action research project was inquiry-based and grounded in reflective practice driven by the essential question "what is the meaning and nature of inter-professional practice?" Details of the community-based projects were negotiated between the student project-based teams and the community liaisons. The students learned about interprofessional practice through their own experiences within their project team, their observations in the community. as well as through in-class discussions. This article takes up the reflections and observations through the experiences of the education students who chose to participate in this unique course offering.

A Multi-disciplinary Study of Field Experiences: Possibilities for Teacher Education
Creators: name: Wimmer, Randolph
Publisher: name: Journal of Educational Thought / Revue de la Pensée Educative
Year: 2018

description: This article explores possibilities of enhancing the field experience component of a variety of professional programs offered by Canadian universities. The contexts of both higher and more specifically professional education are rapidly changing. Now, more than ever, we are challenged to prepare beginning professionals for the 21 s t century. Some findings about the current state of field experiences in higher education are presented, and issues and ideas from a number of disciplines are discussed in an effort to address some of the chronic issues and dilemmas facing field experience programs. As well, attention is drawn to how field experiences in teacher education might be conceptualized and practiced differently.

Fortschritt zwischen Illusion und Störfall

description: Der Beitrag thematisiert aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven die Herkunft und Bedeutung des modernen Fortschrittsbegriffs sowie dessen Verengung auf seine rein technisch-ökonomische Seite. Dabei wird einerseits die historisch gewachsene Ambivalenz des Fortschrittsbegriffs nachgezeichnet, andererseits aber auch der Frage nachgegangen, ob eine solch semantische Engführung, die dauerhaft Glück und Zufriedenheit durch Wachstum, die Ökonomisierung aller Lebensbereiche und die Produktion von immer mehr materiellem Wohlstand hervorzubringen verspricht, sich am Ende nicht als Schimäre erweist. Übersehen werden im hellen Schein des Leuchtfeuers Fortschritt nämlich ganz offensichtlich zwei entscheidende Faktoren: zum einen die Tatsache, dass der Mensch sich in der Befriedigung seiner Leidenschaften durch Konsum nicht von den Bedingungen seines Zustandekommens in der Wettbewerbsgesellschaft abkoppeln kann; zum anderen das Faktum, dass der Glaube an den technisch-ökonomischen Fortschritt genau jenem System entspringt, das diesen Glauben als Bedingung seiner eigenen Existenz hervorgebracht hat: dem kapitalistisch-marktwirtschaftlichen Wirtschaftssystem und seiner Produktions- und Konsumweise, samt eingebauter Wachstumslogik. The essay focusses the origin and meaning of the modern term of progress as well as the limitation on its technical-economic dimension from different points of view. On the one hand it reconsiders the historically grown ambivalence in the understanding of progress; on the other hand it questions, if its semantic limitation, which promises sustainable happiness and satisfaction through growth, the economization of all areas of life and the production of everlasting material wealth, crystallizes as a chimera. As a matter of fact, this perspective ignores two crucial factors in its understanding of progress: firstly the fact, that humans, while satisfying their passions through consumption, cannot uncouple from the conditions of their formation within the competitive society; furthermore the fact, that the believe in technical-economic progress originates from the system, that produced this believe for its own existence: the capitalistic market economy and its mode of production and consumption, including its logic of economic growth.

description: Objectives: The two objectives of this study are to 1) examine the rib and sternal fractures sustained by small stature elderly females in simulated frontal crashes and 2) determine how the findings are characterized by prior knowledge and field data. Methods: A test series was conducted to evaluate the response of five elderly (average age 76 years) female PMHS subjects, similar in mass and size to a 5th percentile female, in 30 km/h frontal sled tests. The subjects were restrained on a rigid planar seat by bilateral rigid knee bolsters, pelvic blocks, and a custom force-limited three-point shoulder and lap belt. Posttest subject injury assessment included identifying ribcage fractures by means of a radiologist read of a posttest CT and an autopsy. The data from a motion capture camera system were processed to provide chest deflection, defined as the movement of the sternum relative to the spine at the level of T8. A complementary field data investigation involved querying the NASS-CDS database over the years 1997–2012. The targeted cases involved belted front seat small female passenger vehicle occupants over 40 years old who were injured in 25 to 35 km/h delta-V frontal crashes (11 to 1 o'clock). Results: Peak upper shoulder belt tension averaged 1970 N (SD 140 N) in the sled tests. For all subjects, the peak x-axis deflection was recorded at the sternum with an average of −44.5 mm or 25% of chest depth. The thoracic injury severity based on the number and distribution of rib fractures yielded four subjects coded as AIS 3 (serious) and one as AIS 5 (critical). The NASS-CDS field data investigation of small females identified 205 occupants who met the search criteria. Rib fractures were reported for 2.7 percent of the female occupants. Conclusions: The small, elderly test subjects sustained a higher number of ribcage fractures than expected in what was intended to be a minimally injurious frontal crash test condition. Neither field studies nor prior laboratory frontal sled tests conducted with 50th percentile male PMHS predicted the injury severity observed. Although this was a limited study, the results justify further exploration of the risk of ribcage injury for elderly small female occupants.
Risk drivers pose to themselves and other drivers by violating traffic rules

description: Objective: Violation of traffic rules is a major contributing factor in both crashes and fatalities in the United States. This study aims at quantifying risk that drivers pose to themselves and other drivers by violating traffic rules. Method: Crash data from 2010 to 2013 were gathered for the state of North Carolina. Descriptive analysis was carried out to identify frequent traffic violations and who were committing the traffic violations that resulted in crashes. A multinomial logit model was then developed to examine the relation between different traffic violations and driver injury severity. Additionally, odds ratios were estimated to identify the likelihood (probability) of severe or moderate injury to the driver and other drivers due to a driver violating a traffic rule that led to a crash. Results: Exceeding the speed limit is more likely to result in severe injury compared to disregarding traffic signals. However, going the wrong way is more likely to result in severe injury to other drivers when compared to any other traffic violation. Driving under the influence of alcohol is 2 times more likely to result in severe injury than driving under the influence of drugs. These 2 traffic violations by a driver are almost equally likely to result in severe injury to other drivers. Conclusions: Drivers often perceive that violating traffic rules will not result in a crash or severe injury. However, the results from this study show that a majority of the traffic violations lead to severe injury to the violator as well as to other drivers. The findings from this study serve as documented evidence to educate drivers about the risk they pose to themselves and to other drivers by violating traffic rules and encourage the adaptation of safe driving behavior in order to contribute toward reaching the “zero traffic deaths” vision. They also help make policy changes pertaining to penalty points and fines for violating a traffic rule.

Few Women in School Administration: Some Explanations

description: Frequently, explanations for the small number of women administrators are based on the belief that we know the nature of the problem (i.e., disparity in numbers). An alternative explanation would suggest that disparity in numbers is not the problem but is symptomatic of a larger one the androcentrism embedded in administrative roles, i.e., role discrimination. This concept in conjunction with access discrimination and treatment discrimination may answer the question, "Why are there so few women in school administration?"
