description: The School of Vocational and Technical Education, Lagos State University of Education formerly Adeniran Ogunsanya College of Education has been a frontline and pacesetter in the quest to searching for sustainable solutions to myriad of challenges in Nigeria's educational, agricultural and socioeconomic morphology. These efforts are being pursued vigorously through practical exchange of research results from the pool of committed experts around the globe in order to minimize and/or stop the excruciating effects of massive youth unemployment, school dropouts, food, human lives and property insecurities among other indices of poor socioeconomic performance and low quality of human resource management and development. This year's conference theme "Advocacy for Entrepreneurial and Skills development for sustainable development and national building" has been carefully chosen to address these challenges with a view to preferring sustainable solutions leading to higher youth employability, wealth creation, better social security, higher food yields and better quality, improved exploration and utilization of locally available human, material and capital resources. In an attempt to achieve the laudable goals of the 4th International Conference of the school, reputed and respected International and World rated professionals and academic gurus including Professor Emeritus Stella Williams, Professor Folake Sodique and Professor Olu Ayodabo will address topical theme and sub-themes of the conference. I therefore unreservedly commend the management of Lagos State University of Education, Oto/Ijanikin Lagos under the leadership of Professor Bidemi Balkis Lafiaji-Okuneye, the Dean Dr Shefiu Ogunbote and the entire members of the Conference/ Seminar/Workshop Committee for their support, cooperation and untiring efforts in ensuring successful accomplishment of this epoch making event. The Book of Proceedings for the 2022 4th International Conference tagged VOTEC '22 is recommended to all stakeholders in the Nigeria's technological, industrial and human capacity building revolution.

description: The Taylor expansion of thermodynamic observables at a finite baryon chemical potential $μ_B$ is an oft-used method to circumvent the well-known sign problem of Lattice QCD. Owing to the associated difficulty and limitations of precision in calculating these high-ordered Taylor coefficients, it becomes essential to look for various resummation schemes which can mitigate the computational cost, besides providing trustworthy estimates of different thermodynamic observables. Recently, a way to exponentially resum the contribution of the first $N$ charge density correlation functions $D_1,\dots,D_N$ to the Taylor series to all orders in $μ_B$ was proposed in Phys. Rev. Lett. 128, 2, 022001 (2022). Since the correlation functions $D_n$ are calculated stochastically using estimates from different random volume sources, the resummation formulation gets affected by the biased estimates. These estimates can become very drastic and can radically misdirect the calculations for large values of $N$ and $μ$ and also for observables which are higher order $μ$ derivatives of free energy, specially at lower temperatures. In this work, we present a cumulant expansion procedure that allows to investigate and regulate these biased estimates at different orders in $μ$. We find that the unbiased estimates in the cumulant expansion can truly capture the genuine higher-order stochastic fluctuations of the higher order correlation functions, which got suppressed by the exponential resummation formulation. Finally, we discover an unbiased formalism of the exponential resummation, which when expanded in a series, can exactly reproduce the Taylor series upto a desired power in $μ$. We are also able to regain the knowledge of reweighting factor and many other important properties of the partition function, which got entirely lost through the implementation of cumulant expansion scheme.

description: Glass-forming materials are characterized by an intermittent motion at the microscopic scale. Particles spend most of their time rattling within the cages formed by their neighbors, and seldom jump to a different cage. In molecular glass formers the temperature dependence of the jump features, such as the average caging time and jump length, characterizes the relaxation processes and allows for a short-time prediction of the diffusivity. Here we experimentally investigate the cage-jump motion of a two-dimensional hard-sphere-like colloidal suspension, where the volume fraction is the relevant parameter controlling the slowing down of the dynamics. We characterize the volume fraction dependence of the cage-jump features and show that, as in molecular systems, they allow for a short time prediction of the diffusivity.

Characterization of Extracellular Vesicles from Klebsiella pneumoniae
Creators: name: Purohit, Aayush
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2022

description: Extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from bacteria are of interest to those looking to understand bacterial pathogenesis and how to adequately combat an infection. Recent studies analyzing the characteristics of EVs have uncovered many of the cellular-level interactions taking place between hosts and pathogens, as well as between pathogens, allowing a better understanding of how EVs operate during infections and how local conditions affect EV characteristics. Identifying what is currently known about bacterial EVs in the context of their impact on the immune system is necessary, for which the first part of this thesis was to conduct a thorough literature review on EVs from various bacterial species. Based on this review, it was observed that when looking at clinical isolates, it is unclear what the specific role of Klebsiella pneumoniae vesicles is in pathogenesis which was the focus of the second part of this thesis. We expected there to be a significant alteration in the cytokine secretion from host cells facing infection from vesicles in their microenvironment. Vesicles were isolated from two clinical isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae using ultracentrifugation. To confirm proper isolation and to visualize the EVs, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was performed on the samples. Finally, EVs were used to infect human lung epithelial cells, A549. Vesicle infection was able to increase the level of pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-8 but we did not observe any increase in IL-6 secretion. Anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 and adaptive immunity cytokine, IL-2, did not show a detectable difference compared to the control after infection with vesicles. The cytokine secretion levels indicated that infection by vesicles alone was sufficient to induce pro-inflammatory cytokine release. Through a stronger comprehension of the behavior of EVs, practical ideas for their implementation in the clinical sphere could potentially be developed with opportunities for EVs to serve as biomarkers or as efficient vessels transporting drugs for treatment of serious bacterial infections.

description: Within the realm of QCD sum rules, one of the most important areas of application of this nonperturbative approach is the prediction of the decay constants of heavy mesons. However, in spite of the fact that, indisputably, the adopted techniques are, of course, very similar, we encounter rather dissimilar challenges, or obstacles, when extracting from two-point correlators of appropriate heavy-light currents interpolating the mesons, the characteristics of charmed mesons with different spin. In view of this, it seems worthwhile to us to revisit this issue for the case of charmed pseudoscalar mesons $D_{(s)}$ and vector mesons $D^*_{(s)}.$

Something of the Past, Present, or Future: Analyzing Collegiate Awareness of the Modernization of Historical Thought
Creators: name: Holbrooks, Allison
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2022

description: Public History is a modern idea crafted to merge both professional and public interests in the dissemination of history. Its primary aim is to link different subjects to the practice of historical study, allowing the departments to flourish together within the public sphere. In many ways, it is the act of reorganizing historical information for the sake of appealing to broader audiences and hoping to improve those public communities. Benjamin Shambaugh, a primary contributor to the inception of public history, based his work in the idea of an ‘applied history.’ As defined by Shambaugh, an ‘applied history’ became the “collecting, preserving, publishing, and using history for the greater good of the state.”  This ‘commonwealth history’ was Shambaugh’s new approach to publicizing history as a means to aid society rather than merely educate it.  Its ambition and conception was not foreign to historians, but the direct actions taken by Shambaugh and others during the 20th century, have paved roads for projects such as the 1619 Project, hoping to provide sources as both educational and practically useful to general publics. My aim in introducing this project and examination is to create a piece of public history reflecting Shambaugh's work while also researching the impacts public history projects have had on society.

description: We analyze exciton spin dynamics in GaSe under nonresonant circularly polarized optical pumping with an exciton spin-flip rate-equation model. The model reproduces polarized time-dependent photoluminescence measurements in which the initial circular polarization approaches unity even when pumping with 0.15 eV excess energy. At T = 10 K, the exciton spin relaxation exhibits a biexponential decay with a sub-20 ps and a >500 ps time constants, which are also reproduced by the rate-equation model assuming distinct spin-relaxation rates for hot (nonequilibrium) and cold band-edge excitons.

Year: 2024
Subjects: subject: 000

description: This article delves into the challenges associated with accessing abortion services in Halle (Saale), Germany. Based on interviews with counselors, doctors, and women directly impacted, the study characterizes abortions as a significant component of reproductive geography. The author employs an assemblage framework, considering the interplay of individuals, material elements, and societal norms. The analysis identifies and delineates three focal points of tension inherent in the daily battle for abortion rights: the dichotomy of legality/illegality, the balance between openness and taboo, and the interplay of freedom and constraint.
Cellular Resolution Brain Structure Sex Differences in a Mouse Model of Autism
Creators: name: Escobar-Tomlienovich, Carla
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2022

description: Previous studies have identified genetic variants associated with risk for autism. Individuals with a mutation in the gene CHD8 have a higher risk for developing autism and exhibit macrocephaly. Through the development of a mouse model, it was found that there is a difference in wild-type (WT) and heterozygous Chd8+/- brain weight and no differences in body weight, but it is not yet known whether cell counts affected by this mutation are different based on sex. This research has additionally shown differences in brain weight between sexes. These variations must be considered when evaluating degree of macrocephaly. Additionally, current methods to quantify cell counts in mouse brains are manual and can take more than 800 years when completed by one individual. Genotyping and brain extractions were performed on WT and heterozygous Chd8-mutated mouse models. The brains were then measured for cortical length, underwent iDISCO tissue clearing, and imaged using light-sheet microscopy. Analysis of cortical lengths was performed using t-tests to demonstrate significance of cortical length measurements and indexes of laterality between paired samples. To then quantify cell counts across the cortex, we have developed Segmentor - a manual annotation tool that is used to refine a machine-learning algorithm to automatically segment light-sheet microscopy images. We found that there was a general trend of larger cortical lengths in heterozygous brains when compared to their WT counterparts in each experimental group and a decrease in hemispheric dominance in heterozygous samples, especially when comparing all samples together as results were statistically significant. Incorporation of training data that has been manually edited by Segmentor has led to an increase in precision and recall, signifying an increase in accuracy of the deep learning algorithm to automatically segment images and quantify neurons in 3D image stacks. Together, the approach of measuring cortical length, hemispheric differences, and 3D whole brain nuclei segmentation provide a method to understand the underlying mechanisms involved in the macrocephaly-associated Autism Spectrum Disorder.

description: In teaching, analogies can be used to support the introduction of a new concept or idea with reference to a more familiar one. This relies on the learner’s correct understanding of the (supposedly) familiar situation, their identification of the relevant similarities (structural relations) between the two situations, and of the limits of the similarities. Without these, analogies may reinforce or introduce misconceptions. Through content analysis of 14 introductory textbooks, semi-structured interviews with four students, and analysis of two analogies, we explore how analogies are used as part of introductions to isostasy in introductory geoscience textbooks. Analogies were ubiquitous, but prior knowledge of the source domain was typically assumed and the majority were not elaborated (explained to the learner). Interviews indicate that, in the absence of sufficient elaboration, students turn to superficial similarities for clues on how to apply the analogies. Many textbooks used analogies amenable to this approach, indicating an alignment between textbook strategy and student reactions. However, giving precedence to superficial similarities over explicit elaboration of structural relations may favor a novice approach to learning. Analyzing an analogy using free-body diagrams demonstrates how an apparently relevant analogy can introduce misconceptions, both in terms of the underlying physics (introducing a fictitious force) and the Earth application (unnatural behavior of the lithosphere) when not sufficiently, or correctly, elaborated. We conclude that the introductory textbooks place much of the responsibility for appropriate use of their analogies, and for avoiding misconceptions, on the learners and their teachers.

For this it is convenient to dualize; we work with pairs of isotropic subspaces of presymplectic vector spaces. We identify ten elementary types which are the building blocks of such pairs, and we write down a matrix, invertible over $\mathbb{Z}$, which takes one 10-tuple of invariants to the other.
title: Continued Professional Development (CPD) Strategy for natural hazards
Creators: name: Saunders, Wendy S. A.
Publisher: name: GNS Science
Year: 2020

description: In July 2020, Dr Wendy Saunders of GNS Science became the ‘EQC Champion of Land Use Planning for Natural Hazards’. With support from the planning team at GNS Science, the position is for three years. There are three key objectives associated with the role: 1. to build land use planning capacity and capability in natural hazards and climate change; 2. to contribute to national and local initiatives that lead to improved land use planning outcomes for Aotearoa New Zealand; and 3. to undertake research in land use planning for natural hazards, including the effects of climate change. These objectives are aligned with three key outcomes in the EQC Resilience Strategy : 1. Councils need to actively consider natural hazards in their short-term and long-term planning (p. 6). 2. Urban and land use planners must understand the value of incorporating resilience planning principles and options for avoiding the worst hazard risks in urban and land use plans (p. 6). 3. Smarter land use avoids the worst risks (p. 9). The focus of this Continued Professional Development (CPD) Strategy is Objective 1, details of which are presented in Figure 1. The primary activity is to support and increase engagement of the planning profession in better managing natural hazards and climate change; in this case, through CPD. The associated milestone is to develop this CPD plan with the New Zealand Planning Institute (NZPI) to inform future CPD activities, with the anticipated outcome being better planning for natural hazards, including the effects of climate change.

Exploration of the Neurological Impacts of Ehrlichiosis and the Development of a Rapid Diagnostic Tool for the Disease
Creators: name: Iyamu, Osahon
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2022

description: Cases of Human Monocytic Ehrlichiosis (HME) have continued to rise over the last two decades in essentially every continent. The wide symptoms of HME have become increasingly important within the scientific community. Despite the several methods that exist to diagnose HME, there are several issues that exist with the current methods of diagnostics. These include high expenses, time investment, and low analytical sensitivity during the early course of infection which can cause issues for many high-risk patients. Although around 20% of patients with HME experience neurological symptoms, these symptoms are not extensively researched. Many patients, especially those who are immunocompromised, suffer from the severe neurological symptoms associated with the condition. With these gaps in knowledge related to HME, we hope to improve the current state of diagnostics through the creation of a Recombinase Polymerase Amplification assay adapted to a lateral flow platform (RPA-LF). We also developed a case series that took some deeper insight into the neurological manifestations of this condition in patients. We were able to complete the optimization of the assay and we hope future improvements to the assay will improve the state of diagnostics for this condition. The case series not only highlights the importance of the prominent connections between infectious disease and neuroscience, but also brings to light the issues that high risk patients face during the early stage of infection.

description: R-mode oscillations of rotating neutron stars are promising candidates for continuous gravitational wave (GW) observations. The r-mode frequencies for slowly rotating Newtonian stars are well-known and independent of the equation of state (EOS) but for neutron stars, several mechanisms can alter the r-mode frequency of which the relativistic correction is dominant and relevant for most of the neutron stars. The most sensitive searches for continuous GWs are those for known pulsars for which GW frequencies are in targeted narrow frequency bands of few Hz. In this study, we investigate the effect of several state-of-the-art multi-messenger constraints on the r-mode frequency for relativistic, slowly rotating, barotropic stars. Imposing these recent constraints on the EOS, we find that the r-mode frequency range is slightly higher from the previous study and the narrow band frequency range can increase upto 8-25% for the most promising candidate PSR J0537-6910 depending on the range of compactness. We also derive universal relations between r-mode frequency and dimensionless tidal deformability which can be used to estimate the dynamical tide of the r-mode resonant excitation during the inspiral signal. These results can be used to construct the parameter space for r-mode searches in gravitational wave data and also constrain the nuclear equation of state following a successful r-mode detection.

The following contributions at the crossroad of STS, material gerontology, design, and medical sociology offer alternative views on ageing and care. Ageing emerges as a boundary object through which authors explore the relationship with technologies and technology-based processes and practices. Authors point out that becoming older is a sociomaterial process and emphasize the importance of thinking with care when designing technology as well as the relevance of the socio-technical imaginary in conceptualizing older people.

Year: 2021

description: The participation of older people in technology development is an ambivalent field: while promising a better fit between users and technology, it still is challenging for both the project and for older users. This is particularly the case when older people with cognitive or physical impairments are to be involved. The article examines the configuration of older people as users in the design of a digital memory training for older people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Referring to (feminist) STS, this configuration is conceptualised as a matter of care. Based on an ethnographic field study the article unfolds the spatial, affective, discursive and material practices of user configuration and describes ambivalences and asymmetries in the configuration process that determine the configuration of older people as users in user-centred design.

description: We aimed to quantify the number of prehospital randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published in the 25 years since the Callaham editorial and review his perception of prehospital emergency care as “scanty” science. We replicated Callaham’s methods to retrieve publications related to prehospital randomized controlled trials (RCTs). This study systematically searched over 35 million citations cataloged by the National Library of Medicine in the PubMed Database between January 1, 1998, and December 31, 2022. Two independent reviewers screened titles, abstracts, and full manuscripts in two rounds, and key terms that indicated RCTs, such as randomized and controlled, standard, or placebo-controlled were identified. The final study group of prehospital RCTs published between 1998 and 2022 included 141 papers. Of the 141 RCTs, 48.2% concluded no significant difference between the intervention and control groups. The average number of RCTs per year was 5.6. Trials during the study period were conducted in 19 different countries, and multinationally. In the time period reported by Callaham, the average number of prehospital RCTs was 4.5 per year. The number of prehospital RCTs published per year has increased only slightly, to 5.6 per year, in the 25 years since Callaham described prehospital emergency care as a “scanty science.”

description: This study analyzes the co-production of peer-to-peer interactions as a social innovation that utilizes older people’s resources as a means for providing public care. We ethnographically explore an initiative named Give&Take that aims to establish peer-to-peer care among older people. We draw on a practice perspective with respect to care and its organization while also being influenced by the conceptualization of sociomateriality. The study illustrates the co-production of peer-to-peer care within a social innovation at the intersection of formal and informal care. We show how care practices and their specificities clash with institutionalized logics in the co-production of care. In conclusion, we argue that considering how care practices are shaped by a set of institutionalized logics in public innovations enhances our understanding of the coproduction of care that draws on older people’s resources. These findings are of importance to innovations following EU policies on co-production and active aging.

description: Aims: The Danish 1.54-meter telescope at the La Silla observatory was used for photometric monitoring of selected eccentric eclipsing binaries located in the Small Magellanic Cloud. The new times of minima were derived for these systems, which are needed for accurate determination of the apsidal motion. Moreover, many new times of minima were derived from the photometric databases OGLE and MACHO. Eighteen early-type eccentric-orbit eclipsing binaries were studied. Methods: Their (O-C) diagrams of minima timings were analysed and the parameters of the apsidal motion were obtained. The light curves of these eighteen binaries were analysed using the program PHOEBE, giving the light curve parameters. For several systems the additional third light also was detected. Results: We derived for the first time and significantly improved the relatively short periods of apsidal motion from 19 to 142 years for these systems. The relativistic effects are weak, up to 10% of the total apsidal motion rate. For one system (OGLE-SMC-ECL-0888), the third-body hypothesis was also presented, which agrees with high value of the third light for this system detected during the light curve solution.

Ethics by Other Means? Care Robot Trials as Ethics-in-Practice
Creators: name: Jaakola, Joni
Publisher: name: Tecnoscienza – Italian Journal of Science & Technology Studies
Year: 2021

description: Recently, socially assistive robots (SARs) have entered care work to tackle the care deficit for ageing populations. Previous research on care robot ethics has emphasised design processes and ethical guidelines. In contrast, this paper employs an empirical ethics approach to investigate how ethics is co-constituted in care practices. Drawing on ethnographic research on an SAR’s dementia-care usability trials, the core research question is “What therapeutic gains does human-robot interaction achieve for older users?” These usability trials were underpinned by the optimistic “ageing-and-innovation discourse”, which frames how “the good” and “therapeutic gain” are perceived. Furthermore, this article contributes to science and technology studies (STS) on older users by studying user figuration as a site of “ethics by other means”. It argues that the ethics of care robots should not be contemplated only as ethical frameworks, guidelines and imperatives but, rather, as situated and relational normativities that stem from care practices.

The Role of Social Support and Social Integration in Explaining Racial/Ethnic Disparities in Unmet Healthcare Need
Creators: name: Zasloff, Rebecca

description: It is increasingly clear that healthcare outcomes are greatly rooted in social determinants of health, as social resources may influence how likely one is to receive care. Given the stark racial/ethnic health disparities in the United States, this study aims to provide a greater understanding as to how social relationships may help explain racial/ethnic gaps in unmet healthcare need. Specifically, this thesis uses measures of social integration and social support in order to study how structural and functional aspects of social networks are related to unmet healthcare need. Using survey data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (Add Health) and a series of logistic regression models, I found that black respondents have 23% higher odds of having unmet healthcare need compared to white respondents. However, controlling for measures of socioeconomic status and health factors eliminates this racial gap in unmet need. Moreover, results show intergroup differences in social relationship characteristics among racial/ethnic groups, most notably between Blacks, Whites, and Hispanics. Surprisingly, the disparity in unmet need between Blacks and Whites is only resolved when controlling for marital status, although taking into account measures of social integration and social support in combination through index scores additionally eliminates disparities in unmet healthcare need. Ultimately, this knowledge may help healthcare professionals and policy officials connect socially isolated individuals at high risk for poor health outcomes to social resources and support groups. Given the multifactorial causes of health disparities, this thesis may serve to help improve health outcomes for racial/ethnic minority patients in a unique way.

description: Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato complex comprises 20 species, from which B. afzelii, B. garinii, B. burgdorferi sensu stricto, B. bavariensis, and B. spielmanii are directly associated with Lyme borreliosis, while B. bissettiae, B. lusitaniae, and B. valaisiana were detected in individual cases. Their main vector in Europe is the hard tick species Ixodes ricinus. To date, two species, B. spielmanii and B. lusitaniae, have been molecularly detected in Bosnia and Herzegovina. To test for the presence of other Borrelia species, we performed nested PCR targeting intergenic region rrf (5S) – rrl (23S) on DNA isolates from 49 ticks collected from vegetation by flagging method and 43 removed from humans in The Center for Emergency Medical Assistance of the Sarajevo Canton and The Healthcare Centers of the Sarajevo Canton. Borrelia species were detected by one-directional Sanger sequencing of the amplified region using the same forward primer as in PCR. Out of six Borrelia species detected in the present study, this is the first record of B. afzelii, B. garinii, B. burgdorferi s.s. B. bavariensis, and B. valaisiana in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

description: Quantum entanglement plays a key role in both understanding the fundamental aspects of quantum physics and realizing various quantum devices for practical applications. Here we propose how to achieve coherent switch of optomechanical entanglement in an optical whispering-gallery-mode resonator, by tuning the phase difference of the driving lasers. We find that the optomechanical entanglement and the associated two-mode quantum squeezing can be well tuned in a highly asymmetric way, providing an efficient way to protect and enhance quantum entanglement against optical backscattering, in comparison with conventional symmetric devices. Our findings shed a new light on improving the performance of various quantum devices in practical noisy environment, which is crucial in such a wide range of applications as noise-tolerant quantum processing and the backscattering-immune quantum metrology.
