description: We consider the quantized enveloping algebra $U_q(\widehat{\mathfrak{sl}}_2)$ and its basic module $V(Λ_0)$. This module is infinite-dimensional, irreducible, integrable, and highest-weight. We describe $V(Λ_0)$ using a $q$-shuffle algebra in the following way. Start with the free associative algebra $\mathbb V$ on two generators $x,y$. The standard basis for $\mathbb V$ consists of the words in $x,y$. In 1995 M. Rosso introduced an associative algebra structure on $\mathbb V$, called a $q$-shuffle algebra. For $u,v\in \lbrace x,y\rbrace$ their $q$-shuffle product is $u\star v = uv+q^{(u,v)}vu$, where $( u,v) =2$ (resp. $(u,v) =-2$) if $u=v$ (resp.
 $u\not=v$).
 Let $\mathbb U$ denote the subalgebra of the $q$-shuffle algebra $\mathbb V$
 that is generated by $x, y$. Rosso showed that the algebra $\mathbb U$ is isomorphic to the positive part of $U_q(\widehat{\mathfrak{sl}}_2)$.
 In our first main result, we turn $\mathbb U$ into a $U_q(\widehat{\mathfrak{sl}}_2)$-module. Let $\bf U$ denote the $U_q(\widehat{\mathfrak{sl}}_2)$-submodule of $\mathbb U$ generated by the empty word. In our second main result, we show that the $U_q(\widehat{\mathfrak{sl}}_2)$-modules $\bf U$ and $V(Λ_0)$ are isomorphic. Let $\bf V$ denote the subspace of $\mathbb V$ spanned by the words that do not begin with $y$ or $xx$. In our third main result, we show that $\bf U = \mathbb U \cap {\bf V}$.

description: In celiac disease (CD) a T-cell–mediated response to gluten is mounted in genetically predisposed individuals, resulting in a malabsorptive enteropathy histologically highlighted by villous atrophy and crypt hyperplasia. Recent data point to the epithelial layer as an under-rated hot spot in celiac pathophysiology to date. This overview summarizes current functional and genetic evidence on the role of the epithelial barrier in CD, consisting of the cell membranes and the apical junctional complex comprising sealing as well as ion and water channel-forming tight junction proteins and the adherens junction. Moreover, the underlying mechanisms are discussed, including apoptosis of intestinal epithelial cells, biology of intestinal stem cells, alterations in the apical junctional complex, transcytotic uptake of gluten peptides, and possible implications of a defective epithelial polarity. Current research is directed toward new treatment options for CD that are alternatives or complementary therapeutics to a gluten-free diet. Thus, strategies to target an altered epithelial barrier therapeutically also are discussed.

description: The Fildes Peninsula and neighbouring Ardley Island are part of the largest ice-free areas in the maritime Antarctic region. This region is characterised by its comparatively high biodiversity. At the same time, this area is home to the highest density of scientific stations used all year round in the whole of the Antarctic. Diverse activities in the fields of research and logistics, but also tourism, are putting a considerable strain on the area and are leading to a conflict of interests between the various user groups and the nature conservation and environmental protection measures according to international law (cf. Protocol on Environmental Protection to the Antarctic Treaty).
A major revision of the discipline on exorcism: A comparative study of the liturgical laws in the 1614 and 1998 Rites of Exorcism

description: Exorcism has been a ministerial component of Christianity from its inception, following the example of Jesus Christ who cast out demons from possessed persons. In the Roman Catholic Church, this ministry is principally carried out by means of the Rite of Exorcism, which is an official liturgical rite celebrated by a priest on behalf of a person who is thought to be possessed by the devil. The rite evolved through the centuries until it was standardized for the first time in 1614. For nearly four hundred years thereafter, it remained virtually unaltered until a process of revision was set in motion in the 1990s. Why was the revision undertaken? Would the liturgical laws contained in the 1614 rite be altered? In response to these queries and others, the author contextualizes the rite of exorcism within a larger historical framework by tracing its development from ancient times to the present. With this context established, the revised rite of 1998 is studied and compared with its predecessor of 1614.
Target-based Association Rules for Point-of-Coverage wireless sensor network

Subjects: subject: Engineering, Electronics and Electrical.

description: Wireless sensor networks allow remote and accurate monitoring of physical environment, but these networks are often deployed in inhospitable and nearly inaccessible environments. The lack of accessibility due to harsh environments makes routine maintenance of wireless sensor networks impossible. The networks must then be able to maintain themselves unattended. These accessibility and environmental constraints make resource management an essential requirement of any wireless sensor network in order to ensure continued performance and maintain quality of service to acceptable levels. Intelligent use of resources of wireless sensor networks could be achieved by using modern techniques of knowledge discovery and data mining. This thesis considers a special type of wireless sensor networks named Point-of-Coverage Wireless Sensor Networks. The Thesis proposes the Target-based Association Rules, and associated data preparation mechanisms to improve the performance and quality of service of Point-of-Coverage wireless sensor networks by reducing the energy consumption of the knowledge discovery process. To implement our solution, we exploit the nature of Point-of-Coverage wireless sensor networks and divide sensor nodes into disjoint groups that independently fully cover all of the targets nodes in the field of interest. Data gathering is then performed by each group, alternatively, using the proposed data preparation mechanisms. Then, the gathered data are used by the sink to generate the Target-Based Association rules. Simulation of the proposed data preparation mechanisms shows the benefit of including energy consideration when data mining wireless sensor networks.

description: Ideally, quantum anomalous Hall systems should display zero longitudinal resistance. Yet in experimental quantum anomalous Hall systems elevated temperature can make the longitudinal resistance finite, indicating dissipative flow of electrons. Here, we show that the measured potentials at multiple locations within a device at elevated temperature are well-described by solution of Laplace's equation, assuming spatially-uniform conductivity, suggesting non-equilibrium current flows through the two-dimensional bulk. Extrapolation suggests that at even lower temperatures current may still flow primarily through the bulk rather than, as had been assumed, through edge modes. An argument for bulk current flow previously applied to quantum Hall systems supports this picture.

Broadband applications and commercialisation: Hospital-in-the-home and water management

Year: 2024

description: Government investment in ubiquitous high-speed broadband, such as the Australian National Broadband Network (NBN) is often seen as putting the cart before the horse, due to the lack of existing applications that can utilise the technology. From a commercialisation perspective, the NBN and its technology is not the innovation; instead it is a platform that enables innovation. Innovators can use the NBN to fundamentally transform existing products and services, or to create new ones. This paper examines two applications: hospital-in-the-home and agricultural water management, representing a sliver of the commercial and social opportunities made possible through broadband infrastructure investment.
Shifts in plant functional phenotypes reflect resource-use strategies across an experimental nitrogen gradient
Creators: name: Malamud, Nathan David
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2025

description: Trait-based ecology seeks to understand how environmental variation influences organismal performance and fitness via functional traits. The morphology-performance-fitness (MPF) framework hypothesizes directional causal relationships linking functional traits, performance traits, and fitness. However, the mediating role of functional traits in linking environmental variation to performance has not been fully articulated or tested within this framework. To address this gap, I extended the MPF framework by explicitly incorporating causal links between environmental variation and functional traits. I tested these hypotheses using data for three leaf economics traits — leaf mass per area (LMA), leaf dry matter content (LDMC), and chlorophyll content (CHL) — and a performance trait (aboveground growth rate) in three plant species grown across a broad nitrogen addition gradient. Leaf traits responded strongly to nitrogen addition, with variation structured primarily along a leaf economics axis and secondarily along a photosynthetic pigment axis. Increasing nitrogen drove phenotypic convergence, shifting trait expression toward a common region of multivariate trait space at high nitrogen levels. Structural equation modeling strongly supported MPF hypotheses, demonstrating that nitrogen addition influenced growth rates primarily through its effects on chlorophyll content and LDMC, as well as unmeasured functional traits. By clarifying the pathways linking environmental variation to plant functional and performance traits, these findings enhance our understanding of plant responses to nutrient gradients and their broader implications for global change ecology.

description: This thesis is the culmination of work done by Ionut Chifan, Daniel Drimbe and myself investigating the structure of von Neumann algebras arising from graph product groups. In particular, this thesis investigates various rigidity aspects of the von Neumann algebra L(Γ) where Γ is a graph product group whose underlying graph is a certain cycle of cliques and the vertex groups are wreath-like product property (T) groups. Using an approach that combines methods from Popa’s deformation/rigidity theory with new techniques pertaining to graph product algebras, a description of all symmetries of these von Neumann algebras and reduced C˚ -algebras is given by establishing formulas in the spirit of Genevois and Martin’s results on automorphisms of graph product groups.
description: The other main result of this work is the fact that these graph product groups Γ are entirely recognizable from the category of all von Neumann algebras arising from an arbitrary non-trivial graph product group with infinite vertex groups. A sharper C˚ -algebraic version of this statement is also obtained. Proving these results leads to an extension of the main W˚ -superrigidity result from [CIOS21] to direct products of property (T) wreath-like product groups.

description: We study how Chapter 11 bankruptcies affect local legal labor markets. We document that bankruptcy shocks increase county legal employment and corroborate this finding by exploiting a stipulation of the law known as Forum Shopping during the Court Competition Era (1991-1996). We quantify losses to local communities from firms forum shopping away from their local area as follows. First, we calculate the unrealized potential employment gains implied by our reduced-form results. Second, we structurally estimate a model of legal labor markets and quantify welfare losses. We uncover meaningful costs to local communities from lax bankruptcy venue laws.

Conflict resolution between principals and teachers in elementary schools.

Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1992
Subjects: subject: Education, Administration.

description: The purpose of this study was to test the Likerts' (1976) system 4T conflict resolution theory in an elementary school setting to assess its potential to explain constructive conflict resolution, and to test an extension to the theory based on the Graen and Cashman (1975) Leader-Member Exchange model. The study focused on teachers' perceptions of their principals' ability to constructively manage conflict. A Likert-type survey questionnaire was administered to 216 elementary school teachers from eastern Ontario and Quebec to assess their perceptions of the following variables: system 4T conflict resolution style, help with work, performance goals, technical competence, school effectiveness, satisfaction with problem solving, and loyalty to the principal. Constructive conflict resolution, a latent variable, was measured by school effectiveness, satisfaction with problem solving, and loyalty to the principal. For the extension of the theory, help with work was used as an indicator of in-group/out-group membership. Structural equation modeling and Lisrel VI (Joreskog & Sorbom, 1984) were used to analyze the two models which represented the system 4T conflict resolution theory and the extension to the theory. Three hypotheses were tested: Hypothesis one. The closer teachers' perceptions of the principals' conflict resolution behavior are to system 4T; and the higher the level of performance goals, help with work, and technical competence, the greater the level of constructive conflict resolution perceived by those teachers. Hypothesis two. Group membership, as measured by help with work, will be related to principals' system 4T conflict resolution behavior. Hypothesis three. Group membership, as measured by help with work, will be related to constructive conflict resolution. The following results were obtained from this study: (1) the Likerts' system 4T theory holds, however it may be overspecified requiring only the system 4T conflict resolution style factor and the technical competence factor; (2) constructive conflict resolution is not unidimensional; (3) perceptions of system 4T conflict resolution behavior have an effect on the satisfaction and loyalty dimensions of constructive conflict resolution more than the effectiveness dimension; (4) the group membership effect exists in educational settings; (5) group membership has an effect on teachers' perceptions of principals' conflict resolution behavior; and (6) group membership has an effect on teachers' perceptions of constructive conflict resolution.
Global classical solution for three-dimensional compressible isentropic magneto-micropolar fluid equations with Coulomb force and slip boundary condition in bounded domains

description: We study an initial-boundary value problem of three-dimensional (3D) compressible isentropic magneto-micropolar fluid equations with Coulomb force and slip boundary conditions in a bounded simply connected domain, whose boundary has a finite number of two-dimensional connected components. We derive the global existence and uniqueness of classical solutions provided that the initial total energy is suitably small. Our result generalizes the Cauchy problems of compressible Navier-Stokes equations with Coulomb force (J. Differential Equations 269: 8468--8508, 2020) and compressible MHD equations (SIAM J. Math. Anal. 45: 1356--1387, 2013) to the case of bounded domains although tackling many surface integrals caused by the slip boundary condition are complex. The main ingredient of this paper is to overcome the strong nonlinearity caused by Coulomb force, magnetic field, and rotation effect of micro-particles by applying piecewise-estimate method and delicate analysis based on the effective viscous fluxes involving velocity and micro-rotational velocity.

Phytoplankton differential sensitivity to pesticide stress: Predicting vulnerability and identifying response mechanisms in freshwater algae exposed to the insecticide fenitrothion.

description: Axenic batch cultures of twelve freshwater phytoplankton species were used to study the molecular, cellular and population effects of the organophosphorus insecticide fenitrothion (O,O-Dimethyl-O-nitro-m-tolyl phosphorothioate) on algae. The unicellular chlorophytes Ankistrodesmus falcatus, Chlamydomonas segnis, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, Chlorella pyrenoidosa, Chlorella vulgaris, Cosmarium sp., Pediastrum sp., Scenedesmus obliquus, Selenastrum capricomutum and Staurastrum sp., the bacillariophyte Navicula sp., and the cyanophyte Anabaena sp. were exposed to three treatment levels of fenitrothion. Differential algistasis was observed among the species exposed to fenitrothion over short and long-term durations. Effects on growth included an extension in lag-phase and/or alterations in growth rate and/or final standing crop. At the molecular level, alterations in the fatty acid composition of total lipids suggest that fenitrothion disrupts lipid synthesis and membrane structure. We hypothesize that fenitrothion prevented normal mitotic divisional processes from occurring. Uninhibited biomolecular synthesis resulted in an accumulation of macromolecules and subsequent cell weight augmentation. The ecological implications of the observed effects were discussed. In addition to effects studies, selected properties of the test algae (cell size functions, lipid content and fenitrothion bioaccumulation capacity) were measured and examined for their relationship to fenitrothion sensitivity.

description: This thesis presents the usability evaluation of the user-interface prototype of the PArents Decision Support (PADS) framework. The PADS framework is the first decision support system to address ethical decision-making in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). But due to the historical resistance of information systems by clinical staffs, does this system have the potential of being accepted into the NICU? We took the user-centric evaluation approach by rapid prototyping and conducting a pilot study with clinical users to assess whether this prototype satisfies basic usability requirements. Our results indicated that all of the clinical evaluators found the prototype moderately easy or very easy to use, as well as being consistent with the concepts and terminologies used in their clinical practices. Based on those results, we conclude that the UI prototype satisfied the usability objects we set out and that the PADS framework's requirements has partially been validated.

description: Background Clinical trials on caries lesion management use an abundance of outcomes, hampering comparison or combination of different study results and their efficient translation into clinical practice. Core outcome sets are an agreed standardized collection of outcomes which should be measured and reported in all trials for a specific clinical area. We aim to develop a core outcome set for trials investigating management of caries lesions in primary or permanent teeth conducted in primary or secondary care encompassing all stages of disease. Methods To identify existing outcomes, trials on prevention and trials on management of caries lesions will be screened systematically in four databases. Screening, extraction and deduplication will be performed by two researchers until consensus is reached. The definition of the core outcome set will by based on an e-Delhi consensus process involving key stakeholders namely patients, dentists, clinical researchers, health economists, statisticians, policy-makers and industry representatives. For the first stage of the Delphi process, a patient panel and a separate panel consisting of researchers, clinicians, teachers, industry affiliated researchers, policy- makers, and other interested parties will be held. An inclusive approach will be taken to involve panelists from a wide variety of socio-economic and geographic backgrounds. Results from the first round will be summarized and fed back to individuals for the second round, where panels will be combined and allowed to modify their scoring in light of the full panel’s opinion. Necessity for a third round will be dependent on the outcome of the first two. Agreement will be measured via defined consensus rules; up to a maximum of seven outcomes. If resources allow, we will investigate features that influence decision making for different groups. Discussion By using an explicit, transparent and inclusive multi-step consensus process, the planned core outcome set should be justifiable, relevant and comprehensive. The dissemination and application of this core outcome set should improve clinical trials on managing caries lesions and allow comparison, synthesis and implementation of scientific data.
Chemistry of medium-valent vanadium amide complexes.

Subjects: subject: Chemistry, Inorganic.

description: The chemistry of low-valent vanadium was extensively investigated especially in the organometallic field. Apart from cyclopentadienyl and alkoxides (or aryloxides) derivatives, its chemistry is poorly developed. Among the supporting ligands for the stabilization of low-valent vanadium, alkylamides need to be studied in more details. By introducing bulky amides such as $\rm R\sb2N\sp-\ (R = \sp{i}Pr,$ Cy, $\rm SiMe\sb3,\ C\sb6H\sb5,$ 3,5-Me$\sb2$Ph and Ad) in chemistry of vanadium(III) and vanadium(IV), we have opened a new field in the coordination of this early transition metal. Synthetic methodology is focused on the preparation of novel tris(amide) vanadium(III) complexes via transmetallation reaction of $\rm VCl\sb3(THF)\sb3$ with $\rm R\sb2NLi,$ using the stoichiometry ratio 1:3 and the same reaction conditions. Reaction of $\rm VCl\sb3(THF)\sb3$ with $\rm\lbrack(CH\sb3)\sb3Si\rbrack NPhLi$ led to the formation of the corresponding tetrahedral $\rm\{\lbrack(CH\sb3)\sb3Si\rbrack NPh\}\sb3V(THF)$ complex. Conversely, the reaction of $\rm CH\sb3C\lbrack(CH\sb2)N(\sp{i}Pr)Li\rbrack\sb3(TIAME)$ with VCl3(THF)$\sb3$ gave the new dinitrogen complex (TIAME)V-N$\sb2$-V(TIAME) whose structure was determined by X-ray analysis. The reaction of VCl$\sb3$(THF)$\sb3$ with (3,5-Me$\sb2$Ph)AdNLi.Et$\sb2$O (Ad = adamantyl) yielded the homoleptic vanadium(III) complex ((3,5-$\rm Me\sb2Ph)AdN\rbrack\sb3V$ which reacts with chalcogens E (E = S, Se) to yield diamagnetic terminal chalcogenide derivatives. The use of low-valent vanadium in the polymerization of olefins is poorly developed apart from acetylacetonato derivatives and chloride derivatives. The complexes of formula $\rm(R\sb2N)\sb2VCl\sb2$ (R = $\rm\sp{i}$Pr, Cy) provide a unique example of oxidative disproportionation. The formation of dicyclahexyl and diisopropyl derivatives is the result of oxidative coupling of two low-valent vanadium entities. The first to be formed is the bis(amido)V$\rm\sp{IV}Cl\sb2$ followed by the unstable "$\rm V\sp{II}Cl\sb2$". The stability of the novel vanadium(IV) bisamido complexes allowed us to investigate their reactivity towards olefin polymerization.

description: Background: Understanding the RNA processing of an organism’s transcriptome is an essential but challenging step in understanding its biology. Here we investigate with unprecedented detail the transcriptome of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1, a medically important and innately multi-drug resistant bacterium. We systematically mapped RNA cleavage and dephosphorylation sites that result in 5′-monophosphate terminated RNA (pRNA) using monophosphate RNA-Seq (pRNA-Seq). Transcriptional start sites (TSS) were also mapped using differential RNA-Seq (dRNA-Seq) and both datasets were compared to conventional RNA-Seq performed in a variety of growth conditions. Results: The pRNA-Seq library revealed known tRNA, rRNA and transfer-messenger RNA (tmRNA) processing sites, together with previously uncharacterized RNA cleavage events that were found disproportionately near the 5′ ends of transcripts associated with basic bacterial functions such as oxidative phosphorylation and purine metabolism. The majority (97%) of the processed mRNAs were cleaved at precise codon positions within defined sequence motifs indicative of distinct endonucleolytic activities. The most abundant of these motifs corresponded closely to an E. coli RNase E site previously established in vitro. Using the dRNA-Seq library, we performed an operon analysis and predicted 3159 potential TSS. A correlation analysis uncovered 105 antiparallel pairs of TSS that were separated by 18 bp from each other and were centered on single palindromic TAT(A/T)ATA motifs (likely − 10 promoter elements), suggesting that, consistent with previous in vitro experimentation, these sites can initiate transcription bi-directionally and may thus provide a novel form of transcriptional regulation. TSS and RNA-Seq analysis allowed us to confirm expression of small non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), many of which are differentially expressed in swarming and biofilm formation conditions. Conclusions: This study uses pRNA-Seq, a method that provides a genome-wide survey of RNA processing, to study the bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa and discover extensive transcript processing not previously appreciated. We have also gained novel insight into RNA maturation and turnover as well as a potential novel form of transcription regulation.

description: Nagetiere sind Reservoirwirte für zoonotische Krankheitserreger, die auf Mensch, Haus- und Nutztiere übertragen werden können und dort z. T. schwere Erkrankungen hervorrufen. Solche Zoonoseerreger repräsentieren mehr als zwei Drittel der heute bekannten humanpathogenen Krankheitserreger. Die Epidemiologie einiger Zoonoseerreger (z. B. Hantaviren) ist an die Populationsdynamik von Nagetieren gebunden. Kommt es zu einer Massenvermehrung bei der Reservoirart, können gehäuft Humanerkrankungen auftreten. Bei anderen Nagetier-übertragenen Zoonoseerregern sind solche Phänomene nicht bekannt; z. T. ist die Nagetierwirtsspezifität dieser Erreger noch unklar. Ein Monitoring relevanter Nagetierpopulationen und assoziierter zoonotischer Pathogene ist unabdingbar, um 1.) die Verbreitung und Epidemiologie der Zoonoseerreger zu verstehen und 2.) Vorhersagesysteme für Zoonoseausbrüche zu entwickeln. Momentan existieren in Deutschland aber keine systematischen und langfristigen Aktivitäten, weil sich Monitoringvorhaben im Wesentlichen auf den Bereich Pflanzenschutz [Feldmaus (Microtus arvalis), forstschädliche Nagetiere] beschränken. Jedoch gab es seit dem Jahr 2000 projektspezifische Arbeiten über jeweils wenige Jahre und Monitoringprogramme zum Vorkommen vor allem von Wanderratten (Rattus norvegicus) in Niedersachen und Hamburg. Dank der intensiven Zusammenarbeit von Behörden und Forschungseinrichtungen ist es gelungen, zahlreiche Informationen zur Verbreitung und Bedeutung Nagetier-übertragener Zoonosen zu sammeln. Für das Verständnis der Verbindung zwischen Nagetier-Populationsdynamik und dem Zoonosegeschehen und speziell zur Entwicklung von Risikoprognosen sind aber räumlich und zeitlich ausgedehnte Monitoringprogramme erforderlich. Dabei sollten bestehende Netzwerke und Kooperationsbeziehungen genutzt, weitere Kooperationspartner (z. B. Schädlingsbekämpfungsfirmen) einbezogen und Synergien der unterschiedlichen Forschungsbereiche genutzt werden.

Mammalian paleoecology of a Caverne de la Mine (Quebec, Canada): Analysis of an early Holocene cave deposit.
Creators: name: Deschamps, Eric Martin.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2001
Subjects: subject: Paleoecology.

description: The aim of this study is to analyse a mammalian terrestrial fossil fauna in order to assess the early Holocene fauna of the St. Lawrence-Ottawa valley region. The fossils were excavated from Caverne de la Mine located on the Eardley Escarpment in Gatineau Park, western Quebec, near the city of Ottawa (45°28'18"N, 75°51'01"W). The fossil deposit dated between 5 020 +/- 70 and 8 230 +/- 80 B.P. yielded twenty-three taxa among ten mammalian families. Two species, Dicrostonyx hudsonius and Microtus pinetorum, are not part of the modern local fauna. Analysis of the fossil assemblage has shown that most species constituting the local fauna were established in the region soon after deglaciation. However, shifting community structure and the presence of extirpated taxa suggest that the local fauna underwent some adjustments since the beginning of the Holocene. The faunal adjustments mirror evolving vegetation cover in the area. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)
Examining the impact of team-based care for people living with multimorbidity in primary care
Creators: name: Ndateba, Innocent

description: The increase of the ageing population and patients with complex care needs (e.g., people living with multimorbidity [PLWMM] and those with social vulnerabilities) has driven the primary care systems to undertake reforms based on team-based care to meet patient care needs and reduce health care costs. However, there is limited evidence on how team-based care in primary care impacts patient outcomes for PLWMM (≥ 2 chronic conditions). This dissertation aimed to examine how team-based care impacts patient outcomes for PLWMM in primary care. This study used a convergent mixed methods design including a systematic review and a secondary data analysis of a cross-sectional study. The systematic review included peer-reviewed studies conducted in primary care for PLWMM and published from 2000 to May 2024. Of 3,075 studies identified, 26 studies met the inclusion criteria. The results indicate that team-based primary care improved mental health, general health, health/disease management, and functional health outcomes. Additionally, team-based primary care improved mental health for older people, females, and those with lower socioeconomic status. The secondary analysis was performed from cross-sectional data collected from 87 practices and 1,929 patients. The results showed that team functioning had no association with self-efficacy and quality of life for primary care patients. However, team functioning had a strong positive association with self-efficacy in PLWMM. Likewise, the results showed strong positive association between team functioning and quality of life for people with more social vulnerabilities compared to those < 2 social vulnerabilities. On the contrary, team size and team composition were not associated with patient outcomes. Altogether, these studies show that team-based primary care is effective in improving multiple patient outcomes. Team-based primary care and how teams function matter in improving patient outcomes, particularly for PLWMM and those with social vulnerabilities. Policymakers, health care leaders, and clinicians should ensure that the structure of team-based primary care is tailored to patient individual experiences and needs such as social vulnerabilities, and set strategies to facilitate team functioning so that team-based primary care can be optimized. Future research examining the impact of team size and team composition on patient outcomes is needed.

description: Background: Ovarian carcinoma is the most lethal gynecological malignancy due to early dissemination and acquired resistance to platinum-based chemotherapy. Reliable markers that are independent and complementary to clinical parameters are needed to improve the management of patients with this disease. The Canadian Ovarian Experimental Unified Resource (COEUR) provides researchers with biological material and associated clinical data to conduct biomarker validation studies. Using standards defined by the Canadian Tissue Repository Network (CTRNet), we have previously demonstrated the quality of the biological material from this resource. Here we describe the clinical characteristics of the COEUR cohort. Methods: With support from 12 Canadian ovarian cancer biobanks in Canada, we created a central retrospective cohort comprised of more than 2000 patient tissue samples with associated clinical data, including 1246 high-grade serous, 102 low-grade serous, 295 endometrioid, 259 clear cell and 89 mucinous carcinoma histotypes. A two-step reclassification process was applied to assure contemporary histological classification (histotyping). For each histotypes individually, we evaluated the association between the known clinico-pathological parameters (stage, cytoreduction, chemotherapy treatment, BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation) and patient outcome by using Kaplan-Meier and Cox proportional hazard regression analyses. Results: The median follow-up time of the cohort was 45 months and the 5-year survival rate for patients with high-grade serous carcinomas was 34%, in contrast to endometrioid carcinomas with 80% at 5 years. Survival profiles differed by histotype when stratified by stage or cytoreduction. Women with mucinous or clear cell carcinomas at advanced stage or with non-optimally debulked disease had the worst outcomes. In high-grade serous carcinoma, we observed significant association with longer survival in women harboring BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation as compared to patients without detectable mutation. Conclusions: Our results show the expected survival rates, as compared with current literature, in each histotype suggesting that the cohort is an unbiased representation of the five major histotypes. COEUR, a one stop comprehensive biorepository, has collected mature outcome data and relevant clinical data in a comprehensive manner allowing stratified analysis.
Some comments on Paul Fletcher's article 'Broadband: What is the problem to be solved, and is the NBN solving it?'
Creators: name: Fitzsimmons, Wayne
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The Member for Bradfield has argued well for the Coalition's position on the NBN (Fletcher 2012). I would like to present an alternative perspective on some of the key issues surrounding the NBN implementation. Most importantly I wish to counter some extravagant assertions such as the NBN being 'stupendously expensive and unnecessarily complicated'. I will argue that the nation can and must afford it, and that from the 100,000-foot level, the Coalition approach to the NBN is essentially identical to the existing NBN Co plan; the difference lies in the timeline to full implementation.

description: We show that a single electron spin can serve as a sensor for radio-frequency (RF) magnetic fields. The longitudinal and transverse components of the RF field can be extracted from the phase acquired during free evolution of the spin coherence. In our experimental demonstration, a single electron spin of an NV center in diamond serves as an atomic-size of two components of an RF field.
