description: Introduction: People experiencing severe mental illness (SMI) smoke at much higher rates than the general population and require additional support. Engagement with existing evidence-based interventions such as quitlines and nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) may be improved by mental health peer worker involvement and tailored support. This paper reports on a qualitative study nested within a peer researcher-facilitated tobacco treatment trial that included brief advice plus, for those in the intervention group, tailored quitline callback counseling and combination NRT. It contextualizes participant life experience and reflection on trial participation and offers insights for future interventions. Methods: Qualitative semi-structured interviews were conducted with 29 participants in a randomized controlled trial (intervention group n = 15, control group n = 14) following their 2-month (post-recruitment) follow-up assessments, which marked the end of the “Quitlink” intervention for those in the intervention group. Interviews explored the experience of getting help to address smoking (before and during the trial), perceptions of main trial components including assistance from peer researchers and tailored quitline counseling, the role of NRT, and other support received. A general inductive approach to analysis was applied. Results: We identified four main themes: (1) the long and complex journey of quitting smoking in the context of disrupted lives; (2) factors affecting quitting (desire to quit, psychological and social barriers, and facilitators and reasons for quitting); (3) the perceived benefits of a tailored approach for people with mental ill-health including the invitation to quit and practical resources; and (4) the importance of compassionate delivery of support, beginning with the peer researchers and extended by quitline counselors for intervention participants. Subthemes were identified within each of these overarching main themes. Discussion: The findings underscore the enormity of the challenges that our targeted population face and the considerations needed for providing tobacco treatment to people who experience SMI. The data suggest that a tailored tobacco treatment intervention has the potential to assist people on a journey to quitting, and that compassionate support encapsulating a recovery-oriented approach is highly valued. Clinical trial registration:The Quitlink trial was registered with ANZCTR (www.anzctr.org.au): ACTRN12619000244101 prior to the accrual of the first participant and updated regularly as per registry guidelines.

description: BACKGROUND: Elite Australian Football (AF) match-play requires proficiency in physical, technical, and tactical elements. However, when analysing player movement practitioners commonly exclude technical and tactical considerations, failing to recognise the multifactorial nature of AF match-play and providing little context into the movement requirements of the players. OBJECTIVES: This systematic review aimed to identify the physical, technical, and tactical requirements of the Australian Football League (AFL) and to highlight the importance of integrating data from multiple sources when analysing player output. METHODS: A systematic search of electronic databases (CINAHL, PubMed, Scopus, SPORTDiscus, and Web of Science) was conducted from January 2009 to June 2022. Keywords relating to physical, technical, and tactical match requirements were used. RESULTS: Forty-eight studies met the inclusion criteria. In isolation, physical requirements were the most analysed construct within the AFL (n = 17), followed by technical (n = 9) and then tactical (n = 6). Thirteen studies integrated physical and technical elements, one study integrated technical and tactical elements, one study integrated physical and tactical elements, and one study integrated all three elements. Movement analysis centred around average 'whole' match requirements, whereas technical and tactical match analyses focused on key performance indicators of match performance. CONCLUSION: While the physical requirements of the AFL have been well documented, there is little understanding of how player technical output and various team tactics influence player movement requirements. Knowledge of how the elements of AF match-play interact with one another could enhance our understanding of match performance and provide a greater resource for training prescription.

description: This work analysed the effect of spontaneous fermentation of sage leaves on the release and extraction of flavonoid and phenolic compounds. Chemical profiling based on thin-layer chromatography was used to compare different extracts from two sage species, common sage (Salvia officinalis) and white sage (Salvia apiana). Non-fermented Salvia apiana extracts are richer in antioxidants, phenolics, and terpenoids. Fermentation significantly enhances extraction of total phenolics, flavonoids, and antioxidants only from Salvia officinalis leaves, while it does not affect extraction from Salvia apiana leaves. In each 20 µL of extract, extraction of polyphenolics increases from 6.55 to 21.01 µg gallic acid equivalents (GAE), anti-oxidants from 0.68 to 2.12 µg GAE, and flavonoid content from 48.01 to 65.33 µg RE (rutin equivalents). Higher antioxidant activity in fermented Salvia apiana ethyl acetate extracts is associated with an increased concentration of phenolics and phenolic terpenoids. However, in Salvia officinalis, the higher antioxidant activity of fermented extract is a result of the release and improved extraction of flavonoids, as there is no increase in the extraction of phenolics. Lactic acid produced via fermentation and proline from Salvia officinalis leaves forms a natural deep eutectic solvent (NADES), which significantly increases the solubility of flavonoids.

During COVID-19, programs needed to respond quickly to ensure that students continued to gain the necessary experiences and skills required to progress through their program and graduate as clinicians, while simultaneously complying with COVID-19 requirements. Case studies from seven different universities in Australia, Ghana and Hong Kong described the diverse ways in which placements were adapted to be COVID-safe, taking into account local needs. Some practices which had been included in placement education prior to the pandemic, such as telepractice and simulation-based learning, were extended and developed during this time. Educators, students, clinicians and clients responded to the rapidly changing needs of the time with flexibility and innovation, utilising a variety of technologies and tools to support case-based and virtual learning opportunities. Feedback from these diverse stakeholders about the experiences was positive, despite inevitable limitations and less-than-ideal circumstances.  The positive findings provided insights for consideration in the future: could strategies implemented in response to the pandemic continue to be incorporated into placement experiences, enhancing current practices and maintaining student performance outcomes? Exceptional circumstances prompted exceptional responses; flexibility and innovation were accelerated in response to the pandemic and may transform future placement-based learning opportunities.

description: Abstract 

 

      It is important to predict the temporal dynamics of a hospital pandemic system (e.g. COVID-19). For deriving the probability of the number of patients in the hospital system, this paper uses a Theoretical M/D/1 queue to represent the stream of patients requiring hospitalization. It is assumed that the service (treatment period) required by each admitted patient is an equal service time D; and the arrival rate of the new patients is Poisson  . We give the solution to a corresponding level-crossing integral equation, which shows that the probability of   n patients being in the system is equal to the stationary cumulative distribution function (c.d.f.-M/D/1) of the virtual waiting time at time nD. We use this equality to approximate the number of patients in the hospital system over a time interval. Finally, the paper presents the “temporal dynamics” of a real-world COVID-19 pandemic example in Ontario, Canada during 2020-2021.

Key words: Stochastic model, stochastic level crossings, M/D/1 queue, stationary probability cumulative distribution function, pandemic, temporal dynamics. virtual waiting time.

description: Plants, fungi, and many other eukaryotes have evolved an RNA interference (RNAi) mechanism that is key for regulating gene expression and the control of pathogens. RNAi inhibits gene expression, in a sequence-specific manner, by recognizing and deploying cognate double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) either from endogenous sources (e.g. pre-micro RNAs) or exogenous origin (e.g. viruses, dsRNA, or small interfering RNAs, siRNAs). Recent studies have demonstrated that fungal pathogens can transfer siRNAs into plant cells to suppress host immunity and aid infection, in a mechanism termed cross-kingdom RNAi. New technologies, based on RNAi are being developed for crop protection against insect pests, viruses, and more recently against fungal pathogens. One example, is host-induced gene silencing (HIGS), which is a mechanism whereby transgenic plants are modified to produce siRNAs or dsRNAs targeting key transcripts of plants, or their pathogens or pests. An alternative gene regulation strategy that also co-opts the silencing machinery is spray-induced gene silencing (SIGS), in which dsRNAs or single-stranded RNAs (ssRNAs) are applied to target genes within a pathogen or pest. Fungi also use their RNA silencing machinery against mycoviruses (fungal viruses) and mycoviruses can deploy virus-encoded suppressors of RNAi (myco-VSRs) as a counter-defence. We propose that myco-VSRs may impact new dsRNA-based management methods, resulting in unintended outcomes, including suppression of management by HIGS or SIGS. Despite a large diversity of mycoviruses being discovered using high throughput sequencing, their biology is poorly understood. In particular, the prevalence of mycoviruses and the cellular effect of their encoded VSRs are under-appreciated when considering the deployment of HIGS and SIGS strategies. This review focuses on mycoviruses, their VSR activities in fungi, and the implications for control of pathogenic fungi using RNAi.

description: In this paper, we propose a new approach to gravity, interpreting it as a volume expansion phenomenon rather than a force of attraction. We explore the behavior of light near massive objects within this framework and compare the results with predictions of general relativity. Using practical examples, including light deflection near the Sun and black holes, as well as Young's double-slit experiment, we present calculations and analyze the consistency of this model with observational data. We also examine how this model may eliminate the need for dark matter by naturally explaining galaxy rotation curves.

 Local government bodies and the compression of freedom of religion: the ban on the face veil.
ABSTRACT: During the last decade several Italian local government bodies (and especially Municipalities) attempted to introduce a general ban on the so called “face veil” (niqab or burqa) through secondary law, in the absence of a national comprehensive policy on the matter. The aforementioned attempts were, without fail, found illegal by the Council of State and the Constitutional Court. Nonetheless, following the rekindling of the anti-Islamic sentiment in Europe in the aftermath of the 2015 terrorist attacks in Paris, we are currently witnessing a “new wave” of local regulation trying to impose a ban on the face veil, based on the claim that, in order to answer the exacerbation of the so called “clash of cultures”, a different balancing of the fundamental rights involved is needed. The author challenges the legality of the new local bans, as well as the compatibility of a general ban on the face veil with the Italian constitutional system.

description: Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to explore the status of entrepreneurship education programs (EEPs) in Indonesia, expanding similar papers on related Australian EEPs in 2019 and Malaysian EEPs in 2021. The aim is to review neoteric global best practice entrepreneurship education (EE), aligning context and specific inference of EEPs in Indonesian Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) within dynamic entrepreneurial ecosystems. We provide a descriptive and emergent inquiry approach consisting of a review of prominent scholarship within the context of EEPs in Indonesia, together with a first of its kind quantitative component depicting the distribution of entrepreneurship spirit, EEPs, accelerators and entrepreneurship support services within HEIs. The paper highlights the sparse and inconsistent distribution across EEPs in Indonesia, further characterized by only a few dominant HEIs specializing in EE. The findings provide critical insights for HEI leaders, researchers, practitioners, and administrators wishing to enhance entrepreneurship and start-up resources at Indonesian HEIs. Further research, however, is recommended especially with respect to the efficacy and impact of these EEPs.

description: Pacific youth growing up in rural horticultural towns in Victoria, Australia, frequently experience the stigmatising labels of ‘fruit picker’ and ‘farmworker’. Drawing on extensive fieldwork in the Sunraysia region, we focus on schools as early sites of racialisation and racism, and compare the perspectives of students and teachers. While teachers often blame ‘culture’ for poor academic performance, students complain of teachers’ racism while also experiencing low confidence and poor self-esteem that hinder their academic progress. Underpinning these issues is the racial hierarchy in the towns, shaped by their particular histories of colonisation, migration and intercultural relationships. Current theories of rural multiculturalism tend to focus on everyday interactions and strategies to encourage social cohesion, with the inherent danger of neglecting the deeper structural issues. We argue that Pacific youth seeking to move beyond the casual and precarious farmwork undertaken by their migrant parents encounter structural barriers that begin in schools and profoundly shape their future opportunities.

Subjects: subject: 621.3 Elektrotechnik, Elektronik

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit befasst sich mit der Härtung von industriellen Automatisierungssystemen. Unter Härtung versteht man die Umsetzung von Maßnahmen, die die Cybersicherheit dieser Systeme erhöhen. Dies beinhaltet in der Regel das Entfernen oder Deaktivieren von nicht benötigten Funktionen, um die Angriffsfläche zu reduzieren. Mögliche Maßnahmen sind beispielsweise die Reduzierung von Schnittstellen, die Einschränkung von Benutzerrechten oder der Einsatz von Software zur Überwachung und Kontrolle der Systemkonfiguration. Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit wird zunächst der aktuelle Stand der Härtung von industriellen Automatisierungssystemen anhand relevanter Normen und Standards analysiert. Anschließend werden die Härtungsempfehlungen der Hersteller ABB und Siemens in diesem Kontext betrachtet und eingeordnet. Darauf aufbauend wird ein generischer Leitfaden zur Härtung von Operational Technology (OT)-Systemen erarbeitet. Dieser Leitfaden, der als separates Dokument der Arbeit beigefügt ist, soll Anwender dabei unterstützen, ihre industriellen Automatisierungssysteme effektiv und systematisch gegen Cyber-Bedrohungen abzusichern. Der Leitfaden beinhaltet praxiserprobte Empfehlungen und Maßnahmen, die sich an den Erkenntnissen aus der Normenanalyse und den Vorgaben von ABB und Siemens orientieren. Damit soll er Betreibern von OT-Systemen als wertvolle Orientierungshilfe für die Umsetzung geeigneter Härtungsmaßnahmen dienen.
description: This thesis deals with the hardening of industrial automation systems. Hardening refers to the implementation of measures that increase the cyber security of these systems. This usually involves removing or deactivating functions that are not required to reduce the attack surface. Possible measures include the reduction of interfaces, the restriction of user rights or the use of software to monitor and control the system configuration.
In this thesis, the current state of hardening of industrial automation systems is first analyzed based on relevant norms and standards. The hardening recommendations of the manufacturers ABB and Siemens are then considered and classified in this context. Based on this, a generic guideline for the hardening of operational technology (OT) systems is developed. This guideline, which is included as a separate document, is intended to support users in effectively and systematically securing their industrial automation systems against cyber threats. The guide contains tried-and-tested recommendations and measures based on the findings of the standards analysis and the specifications of ABB and Siemens. It is intended to serve as a valuable guide for operators of OT systems when implementing suit-able hardening measures.

description: The frontal sinuses are cavities inside the frontal bone located at the junction between the face and the cranial vault and close to the brain. Despite a long history of study, understanding of their origin and variation through evolution is limited. This work compares most hominin species' holotypes and other key individuals with extant hominids. It provides a unique and valuable perspective of the variation in sinuses position, shape, and dimensions based on a simple and reproducible methodology. We also observed a covariation between the size and shape of the sinuses and the underlying frontal lobes in hominin species from at least the appearance of Homo erectus. Our results additionally undermine hypotheses stating that hominin frontal sinuses were directly affected by biomechanical constraints resulting from either chewing or adaptation to climate. Last, we demonstrate their substantial potential for discussions of the evolutionary relationships between hominin species.

description: Background: App-based interventions designed to prevent and treat eating disorders have considerable potential to overcome known barriers to treatment seeking. Existing apps have shown efficacy in terms of symptom reduction; however, uptake and retention issues are common. To ensure that apps meet the needs and preferences of those for whom they were designed, it is critical to understand the lived experience of potential users and involve them in the process of design, development, and delivery. However, few app-based interventions are pretested on and co-designed with end users before randomized controlled trials. Objective: To address the issue, this study used a highly novel design thinking approach to provide the context and a lived experience perspective of the end user, thus allowing for a deeper level of understanding. Methods: In total, 7 young women (mean age 25.83, SD 5.34, range 21-33 years) who self-identified as having a history of body image issues or eating disorders were recruited. Participants were interviewed about their lived experience of body image and eating disorders and reported their needs and preferences for app-based eating disorder interventions. Traditional (thematic analysis) and novel (empathy mapping; visually depicting and empathizing with the user’s personal experience) analyses were performed, providing a lived experience perspective of eating disorders and identifying the needs and preferences of this population in relation to app-based interventions for eating disorders. Key challenges and opportunities for app-based eating disorder interventions were also identified. Results: Findings highlighted the importance of understanding and identifying problematic eating disorder symptoms for the user, helpful practices for recovery that identify personal values and goals, the role of social support in facilitating hope, and aspects of usability to promote continued engagement and recovery. Conclusions: Practical guidance and recommendations are described for those developing app-based eating disorder interventions. These findings have the potential to inform practices to enhance participant uptake and retention in the context of app-based interventions for this population.

description: Optical clarity and efficient phototransduction are necessary for optimal vision, however, how the associated processes of osmoregulation and continuous fluid drainage across the whole eye are achieved remains relatively unexplored. Hence, we have employed elemental microanalysis of planed surfaces of light-adapted bulk frozen-hydrated chick eyes to determine the unique intracellular elemental localization, compositions, and hydration states that contribute to maintaining osmotic gradients and water flow from the vitreous, across the retina, retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), to choroid and sclera. As expected, the greatest difference in resultant osmotic concentration gradients, [calculated using the combined concentrations of sodium (Na) and potassium (K)] and tissue hydration [oxygen-defined water concentration], occurs in the outer retina and, in particular, in the RPE where the apical and basal membranes are characterized by numerous bioenergetically active, osmoregulating ion transport mechanisms, aquaporins, and chloride (Cl) channels. Our results also demonstrate that the high intracellular Na+ and K+ concentrations in the apical region of the RPE are partially derived from the melanosomes. The inclusion of the ubiquitous osmolyte taurine to the calculation of the osmotic gradients suggests a more gradual increase in the osmotic transport of water from the vitreous into the ganglion cell layer across the inner retina to the outer segments of the photoreceptor/apical RPE region where the water gradient increases rapidly towards the basal membrane. Thus transretinal water is likely to cross the apical membrane from the retina into the RPE cells down the Na+ and K+ derived osmotic concentration gradient and leave the RPE for the choroid across the basal membrane down the Cl− derived osmotic concentration gradient that is sustained by the well-described bioenergetically active RPE ion transporters and channels.

description: Cloud condensation nuclei (CCN), i.e., aerosol particles that undergo theoretically unlimited growth when exposed to a certain (low) water vapor supersaturation and grow to large droplets, play an important role in cloud microphysics and are crucial for the second indirect effect of aerosols on global climate. The activation and growth of particles depends not only on their size but also on their chemical composition, which determines whether a particle of a certain size will actually be activated to grow to a cloud droplet. In order to analyze the chemical composition of individual CCN, the CCN must first be separated from non-CCN particles. For this purpose, we coupled a CCN-VACES (Cloud Condensation Nuclei-Versatile Aerosol Concentration Enrichment System, a modification of the original VACES), which activates CCN at defined supersaturations and enriches their concentrations by a factor of 17 to a single particle mass spectrometer (in our case a Laser Ablation Aerosol Particle Time of Flight mass spectrometer; LAAPTOF). Supersaturations in the CCN-VACES are set to 0.035%, 0.054%, 0.1% and 0.6%, respectively. The CCN present in an aerosol flow entering the CCN-VACES are activated and grow to droplets. Droplets > 1.5 µm are enriched in the exit flow and pass directly into the LAAPTOF where the chemical composition of the droplets originating from the individual activated CCN is obtained. In this pilot study, where ambient urban aerosol as well as nebulized sea water samples were used as test aerosols, we show that the LAAPTOF is indeed able to provide ion spectra for aqueous droplets and can therefore be used to determine the chemical composition of actually activated CCN in their droplet state. Single ambient CCN were found to contain sometimes highly complex mixtures of different carbonaceous and non-carbonaceous components. Sea water derived CCN show the expected sea salt constituents, but also the presence of organic material. Copyright © 2022 American Association for Aerosol Research

description: In almost all animals, physiologically low oxygen (hypoxia) during development slows growth and reduces adult body size. The developmental mechanisms that determine growth under hypoxic conditions are, however, poorly understood. Here we show that the growth and body size response to moderate hypoxia (10% O2) in Drosophila melanogaster is systemically regulated via the steroid hormone ecdysone. Hypoxia increases level of circulating ecdysone and inhibition of ecdysone synthesis ameliorates the negative effect of low oxygen on growth. We also show that the effect of ecdysone on growth under hypoxia is through suppression of the insulin/IGF-signaling pathway, via increased expression of the insulin-binding protein Imp-L2. These data indicate that growth suppression in hypoxic Drosophila larvae is accomplished by a systemic endocrine mechanism that overlaps with the mechanism that slows growth at low nutrition. This suggests the existence of growth-regulatory mechanisms that respond to general environmental perturbation rather than individual environmental factors.

description: Background: Urgent action is required to identify socially acceptable alcohol reduction options for heavy-drinking midlife Australian women. This study represents innovation in public health research to explore how current trends in popular wellness culture toward ‘sober curiosity’ (i.e., an interest in what reducing alcohol consumption would or could be like) and normalising non-drinking could increase women’s preparedness to reduce alcohol consumption. Methods: Qualitative interviews were undertaken with 27 midlife Australian women (aged 45–64) living in Adelaide, Melbourne and Sydney in different social class groups (working, middle and affluent-class) to explore their perceptions of sober curiosity. Results: Women were unequally distributed across social-classes and accordingly the social-class analysis considered proportionally the volume of data at particular codes. Regardless, social-class patterns in women’s preparedness to reduce alcohol consumption were generated through data analysis. Affluent women’s preparedness to reduce alcohol consumption stemmed from a desire for self-regulation and to retain control; middle-class women’s preparedness to reduce alcohol was part of performing civility and respectability and working-class women’s preparedness to reduce alcohol was highly challenging. Options are provided for alcohol reduction targeting the social contexts of consumption (the things that lead midlife women to feel prepared to reduce drinking) according to levels of disadvantage. Conclusion: Our findings reinstate the importance of recognising social class in public health disease prevention; validating that socially determined factors which shape daily living also shape health outcomes and this results in inequities for women in the lowest class positions to reduce alcohol and related risks.
