description: The article investigates recent Children’s Literature, in order to find out metaphors and references about disabled people. Documentation on this issue is so abundant that only the most considerable tales and writers was analyzed: for instance, Neil Gaiman, Roald Dahl, Silvana Gandolfi and many other writers dedicated some of their books to characters with physical disabilities, dyslexia, autism. This research shows that Children’s Literature can enable children and grown-up people not only to know disabilities, but also to start up social integration of disabled person.
description: L’articolo esamina la recente Letteratura, per l’Infanzia per scoprire metafore e allusioni sulle persone con disabilità. La documentazione su tale questione è così abbondante che sono stati analizzati solo i più significativi racconti e scrittori: per esempio, Neil Gaiman, Roald Dahl, Silvana Gandolfi e molti altri autori hanno dedicato alcuni dei loro libri a personaggi con disabilità fisiche, dislessia o autismo.  Questa ricerca mostra che la Letteratura per l’Infanzia può consentire ai ragazzi e agli adulti non solo di conoscere le disabilità, ma pure di avviare l’integrazione sociale della persona disabile.

A Fourier-transform infrared study on the interaction between sulfoglycolipid and phosphatidylcholine.
Creators: name: Attar, Mayssa.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1999
Subjects: subject: Chemistry, Biochemistry.

description: The objective of this study was to investigate the interaction between the sulfoglycolipids, sulfogalactosylceramide (SGC) or sulfogalactosylglycerolipid (SGG), and dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC) in a mixed model liposomal system (molar ratio 2:3). Structural and dynamic changes of the liposome contents were monitored by Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Thermotropic FTIR analysis showed a single gel-to-liquid crystalline phase transition for SGC+DMPC liposomes (42$\sp\circ$C) and SGG+DMPC liposomes (28$\sp\circ$C). The thermotropic profile of SGG liposomes showed a pretransition followed by the main gel-to-liquid crystalline phase transition (45$\sp\circ$C). Spectral changes of the amide and ester C=O bands arising from the functional groups at the interfacial region indicated a reduced hydrogen bonding of these groups in the mixed liposomes. Pressure-tuning FTIR of mixed SGC+DMPC liposomes showed that the methylene chains of SGC and DMPC were more orientationally disordered than those of the individual lipid liposomes. Analysis of SGG symmetric and antisymmetric $\rm CH\sb2$ stretching bands in the gel phase and liquid crystalline phase revealed the insertion of DMPC into SGG bilayers results in an increase in the number of gauche conformers in the acyl chains as well as a greater number of conformational states. Overall, these results suggested that the mixed liposomes of sulfoglycolipid and phosphatidylcholine consisted of a homogeneous mixture in which mutual shielding reduced hydrogen bonding at the interfacial region, with a concurrent increase in the orientational and conformational disorder of the hydrocarbon chains.

description: Background: Psychotherapeutic consultation services in the workplace (PSIW) have been developed to provide collaborative mental health care for employees. The aim of this study was to analyze participant characteristics, the role of PSIW in treatment courses, and the development of sick leave before and after PSIW start. Methods: Routine data from PSIW and health insurance of 155 participants were analyzed descriptively and by means of a multilevel negative binomial regression. Results: Eighty-four percent of users were male, and 72% were diagnosed with a mental disorder. The number of PSIW consultations varied from 1 to 13 (mean = 4). For 34% of participants, PSIW sessions were sufficient, 33% received a recommendation for outpatient psychotherapy, and 20% for inpatient mental health treatment. While recommendations for inpatient treatment displayed a high adherence rate (74%), recommendations for outpatient treatment were followed by 37%. Compared with the period of a half-year before PSIW, sick-leave days were reduced from the period of the second half-year after PSIW start and in the subsequent observed half-year periods. Trajectories of sick leave by subgroups showed differences. Conclusions: PSIW is a flexible care offer, and results indicate a possible effect of PSIW on sick leave. In future studies, control group designs and inclusion of further variables are needed.

Numerical modelling of multi-particle flows in bubbling gas-solid fluidised beds
Creators: name: Bell, Robyn A.
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: In Victoria, Australia, brown coal is utilised as a major source of energy for the power generation industry. Victorian and South Australian brown coals have a very high moisture content and therefore, the efficiencies of power generation in traditional pulverised fuel fired furnaces are low. Fluidised beds offer a number of advantages over conventional furnaces, leading to improvements in efficiency and environmental impact. A disadvantage with implementing fluidised bed technology is the issue of scale-up. Fluidised bed behaviour can alter significantly with changes in scale, because of their strong dependence on the bed hydrodynamics. Hence, there is a need to accurately model bed behaviour to ensure that the effect of changes in scale are well understood and will not become costly and time consuming. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) techniques can be applied to fluidised bed systems to gain a better understanding of the hydrodynamic behaviour involved. In the past, numerical models have considered only single particle sizes due to the added complexity of interaction between particles of differing sizes and densities. Industrial fluidised beds typically contain more than one particle size and density, therefore there is a need to develop a numerical model which takes this into account. The aim of this thesis is to develop and validate CFD techniques for modelling the behaviour of a gas-solid fluidised bed containing more than one particle size and density. To provide validation data for the numerical model, physical experiments are undertaken on a small two-dimensional bubbling gas-solid fluidised bed. Mixing and segregation behaviour of different materials are investigated. The experiments demonstrate that whilst only a small proportion of the bed consists of different size/density particles, significant changes in bed behaviour are apparent. Changes in bubble rise velocity, bubble size and bubble shape are observed. A number of constitutive equations must be included in the numerical model, including relationships for the momentum transfer between various phases and solids pressure. Different combinations of these constitutive equations are investigated. A new equation for particle-particle interactions is derived and included in a CFD model. The CFD model is validated against both data in the literature and physical experiments. From the validation studies, an optimum equation set is identified. This optimum equation set produces numerical results that closely resemble experimental bed behaviour, thus bringing the goal of solving scale-up problems one step closer. The use of this type of CFD model will ultimately result in timely and cost effective solutions for both the power generation and chemical processing industries.

description: Listeria monocytogenes strains are known to harbour plasmids that confer resistance to sanitizers, heavy metals, and antibiotics; however, very little research has been conducted into how plasmids may influence L. monocytogenes’ ability to tolerate food-related stresses. To investigate this, a library (n = 93) of L. monocytogenes plasmid sequences were compared. Plasmid sequences were divided into two groups (G1 and G2) based on a repA phylogeny. Twenty-six unique plasmid types were observed, with 13 belonging to each of the two repA-based groups. G1 plasmids were significantly (p < 0.05) smaller than G2 plasmids but contained a larger diversity of genes. The most prevalent G1 plasmid (57,083 bp) was observed in 26 strains from both Switzerland and Canada and a variety of serotypes. Quantitative PCR (qPCR) revealed a >2-fold induction of plasmid-contained genes encoding an NADH peroxidase, cadmium ATPase, multicopper oxidase, and a ClpL chaperone protein during growth under salt (6% NaCl) and acid conditions (pH 5) and ProW, an osmolyte transporter, under salt stress conditions. No differences in salt and acid tolerance were observed between plasmid-cured and wildtype strains. This work highlights the abundance of specific plasmid types among food-related L. monocytogenes strains, the unique characteristics of G1 and G2 plasmids, and the possible contributions of plasmids to L. monocytogenes tolerance to food-related stresses.

description: The article focuses on the traffic of children, who are kidnapped, cheated and purchased by their families to be exploited in many ways. These victims have severe mental and physical traumas. Many of them, slaves of their exploiters, remain invisible and live their lifes without fundamental rights and without any kind of support or help. The traffic in human beings is a new kind of slavery, which acts in the dark, is criminal and involves different subjects of different ages, different nationalities and generations. The traffic in human beings is managed by transnational criminal organizations and is a disturbing and growing phenomena around the world.
description: Il focus dell’articolo riguarda la tratta di minori che in tutto il mondo vengono rapiti, ingannati, venduti dalle loro famiglie per poi venire sfruttati in diversi ambiti. I minori che ne diventano vittime subiscono gravi traumi a livello fisico e psicologico. Molti di loro, alla completa mercé dei loro sfruttatori, restano invisibili, privati dei loro diritti fondamentali e senza alcun tipo di assistenza e aiuto. La tratta di esseri umani è una moderna forma di schiavitù, che si presenta come sommersa, criminale, tentacolare, che coinvolge diversi soggetti di età, genere e nazionalità differenti. La tratta di esseri umani è gestita da organizzazioni criminali transnazionali ed è un fenomeno preoccupante e in costante aumento in tutto il mondo.

description: The Sundarbans poses a unique challenge to policy makers. With rising sea level, large part of the area will be inundated and hence a climate adaption strategy needs to be in place. While there is a significant discussion regarding medium- and long-term strategies, preventing or mitigating such local level disasters need micro level data with minimum lag. In this article, we show how using satellite imagery can achieve both. With real-time data availability, one can map various villages, monitor their economic activities (primarily agriculture) and create a vulnerability mapping. While this article only highlights an extremely localised shock, such vulnerability mapping for the entire area will be an extremely useful tool for policy makers. We use Landsat images 2007–18 and perform clustering to map local area vulnerability in Mousuni island Sundarbans.

description: Accelerated soil erosion by water on agricultural land is considered one of the most critical forms of soil degradation, as it threatens both agronomic productivity and environmental quality. Given that both the costs and the benefits of soil erosion control measures are subject to spatial variation, the criterion of cost-effectiveness calls for spatially heterogeneous soil conservation policies. Under the German Direct Payments Regulation, federal state authorities are obliged to assess the potential risk of soil erosion by water on arable land in accordance with ABAG - the German version of the well-established Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) - and to impose appropriate management restrictions on farmers. However, the responsible federal state authorities have considerable degrees of freedom with regard to the methodology of erosion modelling - and thus in the designation of soil erosion protection areas: First, classification is carried out by multiplication of soil erodibility (K) and slope steepness (S) factors; the inclusion of rainfall erosivity (R) and slope length (L) factors is only optional. Second, classification of RKS- and RKLS-factors corresponds to the assumption of cross-regional standard estimates for R and L, which do not adequately reflect the heterogeneity of local conditions. This inevitably leads to over- and underestimation of local soil erosion hazards. As a consequence, the official risk assessment of soil erosion by water in Germany consists of a patchwork of cadastral risk maps at federal state level, which are neither publicly available nor fully comparable with each other. Hence, under current legislation there is a great danger that management requirements will be imposed on German farmers, which are economically inefficient, distort competition and do not achieve their environmental objectives. The aim of this study is to identify methodological and conceptual potential for improvement and harmonization in the risk assessment of soil erosion by water in Germany. For this purpose, high-resolution nationwide maps of rainfall erosivity (R-factor), soil erodibility (K-factor), slope length (L-factor), and slope steepness (S-factor) are produced in accordance with the revised ABAG using High Performance Computing (HPC) resources. The study area covers arable land, permanent grassland, vineyards, and orchard plantations. The modelling shows that the potential risk of soil erosion by water on agricultural land in Germany is much higher than previously assumed. © 2020 Elsevier Ltd.

description: The relationship between technology and learning is becoming increasingly important in the field of musical education. However there are few studies regarding the interaction between children and musical instruments. This article looks at a study carried out with children aged between 3 and 5, and a particular interactive musical system: the Continuator, which was created by the SONY-Computer Science Laboratory in Paris. An analysis of the studies shows that the Continuator is capable of developing interesting interaction between children and the machine and creative musical processes in early childhood. It is possible to observe an evolution in interaction and microprocesses  similar to those seen in adult/child interaction. The abilty of the system ton  to attract and maintain attention in the children as been interpreted  through Csikszentmihalyi’s Flow Theory . This article gives an overview of literature regarding musical education and new technologies, a description of the interactive system used in our experimental project, the pilot protocol and the analysis of the two case studies. We also draw certain conclusions regarding the psychological and pedagogical implications of the results.
description: La relazione tra nuove tecnologie e apprendimento sta acquistando una crescente rilevanza anche nel campo dell’educazione musicale. Pur tuttavia sono ancora pochi gli studi sull'interazione tra i bambini e le macchine musicali. Questo articolo descrive uno studio condotto con bambini dai 3 ai 5 anni a confronto con un particolare sistema musicale interattivo, il Continuator, elaborato presso il SONY-Computer Science Laboratory di Parigi. L’analisi di due casi-studio mostra che il Continuator è capace di sviluppare interessanti interazioni bambino\macchina e processi musicali creativi nella primissima infanzia. E’ possibile osservare un’evoluzione dell’interazione e microprocessi simili a quelli osservati nell’interazione adulto\bambino. L’abilità del sistema di attrarre e mantenere l’attenzione dei bambini è stata interpretata attraverso la “Teoria del Flusso” di Csikszentmihalyi. In questo articolo verrà presentata una panoramica sulla letteratura riguardante l'educazione musicale e le nuove tecnologie, una descrizione del sistema interattivo utilizzato nel nostro progetto sperimentale, il protocollo pilota e l’analisi di due casi-studio. Tracceremo poi alcune conclusioni sulle implicazioni  psicologiche e pedagogiche dei risultati ottenuti.

description: Thin-film polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si) on glass is a promising material for lowering the cost of PV electricity. This paper gives an update on the poly-Si on glass thin-film PV research in our group at the University of New South Wales (UNSW). Each of the investigated Si formation methods (solid phase crystallisation, solid phase epitaxy, ion-assisted deposition) is shown to be capable of producing device-grade Si material, with voltages in the 440-530 mV range. Fill factors of over 70% are now frequently obtained using an interdigitated cell metallisation scheme. The best cells presently have efficiencies of 7% and are improving rapidly.
Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) and the parallel 'people's summits': Theorizing the political and democracy in international theory.

Subjects: subject: Political Science, International Law and Relations.

description: Since 1993, only four years after its inaugural meeting, and the same year of its first meeting of heads of state in Seattle, Washington, the international economic organization known as Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) has been the site of opposition headed by nongovernmental organizations (NGOs). These NGOs are concerned with issues such as human rights, gender, labour rights, migrant rights, democracy, and the environment. Almost every year the scope and sophistication of the opposition has grown. In order to account for this opposition, the thesis develops an alternative interdisciplinary perspective through the work of authors such as Claude Lefort, Enersto Laclau, Chantal Mouffe, Jacques Derrida, and William Connolly. The thesis argues that APEC represents more than merely the outcome of interstate relations and/or economic globalization. Rather, its discourse contains representations of identity which obscure difference. This political move of APEC's discourse creates an antagonism to which respond the parallel NGO forums. In responding to this antagonism the NGO discourse opens the possibility for a deterritorialization of democracy. In order to envision this deterritorialization the thesis further argues that one must appropriate the theoretical vantage point of a model of 'agonistic democratic politics'.

description: Nel settembre 2008, all’indomani dell’approvazione parlamentare del d.l. n. 137/2008, alcuni studenti, ricercatori e supervisori di tirocinio della Facoltà di Scienze della Formazione dell’Università di Bologna autoconvocati hanno deciso di aprire un tavolo di confronto e riflessione in merito agli elementi salienti del Decreto Legge riguardanti la scuola primaria. Quello che presentiamo è il prodotto di questo processo che ha inteso testimoniare come, dietro alle prassi educative e alla organizzazione didattica, esistano precisi riferimenti culturali e scientifici, scarsamente conosciuti e considerati, che sono il frutto del lavoro rigoroso e paziente di ricercatori e formatori. Oggi, con la traduzione il legge 169/2009 del d.l. n. 137/2008 e l'imminente inizio dell'anno scolastico, la scuola primaria italiana rischia di trasformarsi radicalmente e presentare notevoli elementi di criticità disattendendo, di fatto, la basi scientifico-culturali su cui è stata pensata.

Affidiamo quindi alla vostra lettura il nostro lavoro nella speranza che possa essere utile, specialmente per i non addetti ai lavori, per pensare alla scuola di domani con maggiore consapevolezza, nel rispetto della complessità che caratterizza questo universo tanto importante per la vita civile e democratica di un paese, e  nella speranza  che maggiore rispetto e attenzione vengano anche dedicate a chi si impegna con passione nella ricerca educativa e a chi nella scuola italiana investe quotidianamente risorse personali e professionali."

description: Predicting the far-field radiation pattern of reflectarrays (RAs) by means of semi-analytical models is of great interest to save computationally expensive full-wave simulations, especially when performing parametric optimization of large-scale or distributed arrays. This work presents a novel approach for modeling the far-field response of an RA, which is obliquely illuminated by a planar TE wave and performs beam steering within the incidence plane. In particular, the model predicts specular reflections of RA and carrier in offset-fed scenarios. The proposed method supplements the conventional array theory; it only requires full-wave simulation of the UC’s phase characteristic and a single array row, allowing to scale up to larger array sizes by analytical means. For demonstration, several RAs implemented on thin fused silica substrates are characterized at 245 GHz, where the measured far-field patterns agree very well with both the full-wave simulation and the analytical prediction.

description: This research aims to define the role of a new communication technology, Internet, into the development of a locality. Will it be a tool for autonomy, gathering an, economic, community and social support? Will it increase the gap between the dynamic environment and the apathetic? Will it change the center periphery relations, the metropolis- intermediate city relations? Will Internet have a real impact on the development methods? Will it stimulate the interest of the political, economical, community and cultural leaders? Two methods have been used to define the appropriation and the deployment of Internet in the intermediate city of Drummondville: (1) making an inventory of Internet sites related to the city and analysing them; (2) meeting with 17 city contributors which use and develop the Internet. Those two distinct methods allowed to highlight the actual development of Internet in Drummondville and to learn about the future development. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

description: Le projet de recherche intitulé "Corps et enfermement: Récits de femmes" cherche à explorer comment le corps est marqué par un passage au pénal et ce, selon la perspective de celles qui vivent l'enfermement. Les assises théoriques de cette étude dérivent de Foucault (1975) et de Garfinkel (1956). Nous examinerons, dans un premier temps, la construction d'un "corps docile" (Foucault, 1975) et, dans un deuxième temps, les "cérémonies de dégradation" (Garfinkel, 1956) qui ont lieu pendant l'incarcération. Toutefois, nous nous inspirons de Goffman (1961) en ce qui à trait au "processus de mortification" et au concept de l'"institution totalitaire". Ainsi dans le cadre de ce projet, nous exposerons tout d'abord une généalogie du corps en criminologie suivi d'un aperçu historique de l'enfermement féminin. Enfin nous présenterons un exposé des pratiques pénales qui assujettissent le corps des femmes et les façons dont ces dernières y résistent. En s'inspirant d'une approche féministe radicale, nous avons utilisé une méthodologie qui privilégiait l'entretien non directif. Dix entrevues en profondeur ont été menées avec des femmes incarcérées dans un établissement provincial canadien. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

description: Herein, a BiOCl hydrogel film electrode featuring excellent photocorrosion and regeneration properties acts as the anode to construct a novel type of smart solar–metal–air batteries (SMABs), which combines the characteristics of solar cells (direct photovoltaic conversion) and metal–air batteries (electric energy storage and release interacting with atmosphere). The cyclic photocorrosion processes between BiOCl (Bi3+) and Bi can simply be achieved by solar light illumination and standing in the dark. Upon illumination, the device takes open-circuit configuration to charge itself from the sunlight. Notably, in this system, the converted solar energy can be stored in the SMABs without the need of external assistance. In the discharging process in the dark, Bi0 spontaneously turns back to Bi3+ producing electrons to induce the oxygen reduction reaction. With an illumination of 15 min, the battery with an electrode area of 1 cm2 can be continuously discharged for ≈3000 s. Taking elemental Bi as the calculation object, the theoretical capacity of the SMABs is 384.75 mAh g-1, showing its potential application in energy storage. This novel type of SMABs is developed based on the unique photocorrosive and self-oxidation reaction of BiOCl to achieve photochemical energy generation and storage.

description: Despite elaborate regulation of agricultural pesticides, their occurrence in non-target areas has been linked to adverse ecological effects on insects in several field investigations. Their quantitative role in contributing to the biodiversity crisis is, however, still not known. In a large-scale study across 101 sites of small lowland streams in Central Europe, Germany we revealed that 83% of agricultural streams did not meet the pesticide-related ecological targets. For the first time we identified that agricultural nonpoint-source pesticide pollution was the major driver in reducing vulnerable insect populations in aquatic invertebrate communities, exceeding the relevance of other anthropogenic stressors such as poor hydro-morphological structure and nutrients. We identified that the current authorisation of pesticides, which aims to prevent unacceptable adverse effects, underestimates the actual ecological risk as (i) measured pesticide concentrations exceeded current regulatory acceptable concentrations in 81% of the agricultural streams investigated, (ii) for several pesticides the inertia of the authorisation process impedes the incorporation of new scientific knowledge and (iii) existing thresholds of invertebrate toxicity drivers are not protective by a factor of 5.3 to 40. To provide adequate environmental quality objectives, the authorisation process needs to include monitoring-derived information on pesticide effects at the ecosystem level. Here, we derive such thresholds that ensure a protection of the invertebrate stream community. © 2021 Elsevier Ltd.

Towards interculturalism: A critical history of contemporary drama in Canada.
Creators: name: Sherlow, Lois Juanita.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1996
Subjects: subject: Literature, Canadian (English).

description: In the late sixties in Canada, the emerging alternative theatre adapted dramaturgical models, many of them from the international countercultural movement of the period, which served as means of challenging the primacy of the playwright and of creating a new decentralized iconography of the Canadian people. In the process of doing so, however, this theatre left many colonialist practices unexamined, and effectively succeeded in disseminating nationalist or centralizing mythologies of utopian populism. Thus, the suppressive effects of colonialism were ironically prolonged as the new nationalist theatre continued to produce marginalizing effects. This study reframes critical perspectives on contemporary theatrical values and practices in Canada by revisiting the ways in which colonialist representation inscribed subordination and marginality in the first place. Since 1980, there has been a significant subversion and effacement of nationalist ideology by the very groups which had been suppressed by the universalizations of populism. In addition, the adoption by many practitioners of decentred, postmodern textuality combined with experimentation in interdisciplinary techniques has created performance modes more adaptable to cultural reality. In Canadian theatre of the nineties, it has become common practice to historicize unitary narratives of culture and self-identity and to construct, instead, intercultural texts which acknowledge the co-presence of universality and difference, and which assist in drawing spectators with diverse cultural expectations into communal experience.

description: Background: Decisions relating to the funding of new drugs are becoming increasingly challenging due to a combination of aging populations, rapidly increasing list prices, and greater numbers of drug-indication pairs being brought to market. This is especially true in cancer, where rapid list price inflation is coupled with steeply rising numbers of incident cancer cases. Within a publicly funded health care system, there is increasing recognition that resource allocation decisions should consider the reassessment of, and potential disinvestment from, currently funded interventions alongside new investments. Public input into the decision-making process can help legitimize the outcomes and ensure priority-setting processes are aligned with public priorities. Methods: In September 2014, a public deliberation event was held in Vancouver, Canada, to obtain public input on the topic of cancer drug funding. Twenty-four members of the general public were tasked with making collective recommendations for policy-makers about the principles that should guide funding decisions for cancer drugs in the province of British Columbia. Deliberative questions and decision aids were used to elicit individuals’ willingness to make trade-offs between expenditures and health outcomes. Results: Participants discussed the implications of disinvestment decisions from cancer drugs in terms of its impact on patient choice, fairness and quality of life. Their discussions indicate that in order for a decision to disinvest from currently-funded cancer drugs to be acceptable, it must align with three main principles: the decision must be accompanied by significant gains, described both in terms of cost savings and opportunities to re-invest elsewhere in the health care system; those who are currently prescribed a cancer drug should be allowed to continue their course of treatment (referred to as a continuance clause, or “grandfathering” approach); and it must consider how access to care for specialized populations is impacted. Conclusions: The results from this deliberation event provide insight into what is acceptable to British Columbians with respect to disinvestment decisions for cancer drugs. These recommendations can be considered within wider health system decision-making frameworks for funding decisions relating to all drugs, as well as for cancer drugs.
