description: Poly(ester amides) based on L-valine and adipic acid with different aliphatic and aromatic diols were synthesized by interfacial polymerization. Four different diols such as ethylene glycol, 1,5-pentanediol, resorcinol, and catechol were used to systematically vary the chain lengths and position of the hydroxyl groups. The chemical structures, thermal properties, degradation, and dye release of these polymers were investigated. This study demonstrates that the release kinetics can be tailored through the control of the chain length of the diol and the position of the hydroxyl groups. These findings have important implications for designing biodegradable polymers for tailored release.

Gravitational waves in ultra-slow-roll and their anisotropy at two loops
Creators: name: Ruiz, Juan Álvarez

Publisher: name: Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron, DESY, Hamburg
Year: 2024

description: We compute the non-Gaussian corrections to the energy density and anisotropies of gravitational waves induced after an ultra-slow-roll phase of inflation by using a diagrammatic approach, and present the corresponding Feynman rules. Our two-loop calculation includes both the intrinsic non-Gaussianity of the inflaton perturbation $\delta\phi$ and the non-Gaussianity arising from the nonlinear relation between the latter and the curvature perturbation $\mathcal{R}$. We apply our formalism to an analytical model in which the ultra-slow-roll phase is followed by a constant-roll stage with a nonvanishing second slow-roll parameter $\eta$, and address the renormalization of the one-loop scalar power spectrum in this scenario.

title: Transfer of working memory training to the inhibitory control of auditory distraction
Creators: name: Kattner, Florian
Publisher: name: Springer
Year: 2024

description: Extended working memory training with the dual n-back task has been shown to improve performance on various untrained cognitive tasks, but previous findings were inconsistent with regard to the extent of such transfer. The dual n-back training task addresses multiple components of working memory as sequential information from two different stimulus modalities needs to be simultaneously encoded, maintained, continuously monitored and updated in working memory while irrelevant information needs to be inhibited. However, it is unclear which executive functions account for the observed transfer effects. In this study, the degree of inhibitory control required during training was manipulated by comparing two versions of the dual n-back task in which participants are asked to either respond or withhold a response on the less frequent trials when an item was identical to an item n trials back. Eight 80-min sessions of training with adaptive versions of both n-back tasks were shown to improve working memory updating. Moreover, in contrast to the standard n-back task, training on the inhibitory n-back task was found to reduce the interference in working memory produced by task-irrelevant speech. This result suggests that enhanced demand for inhibitory control during training enables transfer to the inhibition of distractor interference, whereas the standard n-back task primarily affects working memory updating. The training effects did not transfer to the inhibition of spatially incompatible responses in a Simon task, and it yielded no far transfer effects to untrained executive functions or measures of fluid intelligence.

description: Currently, no studies dealing with the role played by ionic liquids on tailoring surface features of polymer films are available. In this work, ionic liquids influence on the surface of sulfonated polyarylethersulfones was investigated. Sulfonated polyarylethersulfones with different degrees of sulfonation were synthesized; their surface properties were modulated through an ionic exchange reaction between the K+ cation of sulfonated polyarylethersulfones and ionic liquids, synthesized changing the length of cation of apolar groups. Hydrophobic properties of sulfonated polyarylethersulfones–ionic liquids films improve with both an increase in degrees of sulfonation and the length of ionic liquids alkyl chains due to higher surface roughness, as shown by scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy.

description: This project investigated airborne particle releases derived from paper shredding. The characteristics of these emissions have not been studied previously. The objective of this project was to characterize released particles in terms of particle size distribution, particle mass and number concentration, particle morphology and chemical composition, as well as the structure of paper fibers. A significant amount of paper particles were found in the close vicinity of an unenclosed paper shredder during shredding and the manual manipulation of shredded paper. The particle release from shredding using two types of printer paper, two types of shredders, and various shredding frequencies was measured inside the shredder basket. The particles released from paper shredding were found to be in the nanometer to micrometer size ranges, and the particles contained calcium and other metal elements. Manual stirring of shredded paper released the highest particle concentration as measured at the opening of the container. Shredding with 30-s intervals increased the duration of airborne particle release as compared to intermittent shredding. Multiple quantitative analyses were employed to evaluate released particles at various particle size ranges. Two real-time instruments which measured thoracic (<10 μm) and respirable (<4 μm) particle sizes showed comparable concentrations measured inside and outside of the shredder basket.

description: Spindle poisons elicit various cellular responses following metaphase arrest, but how they relate to long-term clonogenicity has remained unclear. We prepared several HeLa lines in which the canonical apoptosis pathway was attenuated, and compared their acute responses to paclitaxel, as well as long-term fate, with the parental line. Three-nanomolar paclitaxel induced brief metaphase arrest (<5 h) often followed by aberrant mitosis, and about 90% of the cells of each line had lost their clonogenicity after 48 h of the treatment. A combination of the same concentration of paclitaxel with the kinesin-5 inhibitor, S-trityl-L-cysteine (STLC), at 1 µM led to much longer arrest (∼20 h) and predominance of subsequent line-specific responses: mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilization (MOMP) in the apoptosis-prone line, or mitotic slippage without obvious MOMP in the apoptosis-reluctant lines. In spite of this, combination with STLC did not lead to a marked difference in clonogenicity between the apoptosis-prone and -reluctant lines, and intriguingly resulted in slightly better clonogenicity than that of cells treated with 3 nM paclitaxel alone. This indicates that changes in the short-term response within 3 possible scenarios — acute MOMP, mitotic slippage or aberrant mitosis ― has only a weak impact on clonogenicity. Our results suggest that once cells have committed to slippage or aberrant mitosis they eventually undergo proliferative death irrespective of canonical apoptosis or p53 function. Consistent with this, cells with irregular DNA contents originating from mitotic slippage or aberrant mitosis were mostly eliminated from the population within several rounds of division after the drug treatment.
Worker cooperatives as alternative economies within capitalism: organisational variation and democratic decision-making
Creators: name: Moushouttas, Nicos
Publisher: name: Loughborough University
Year: 2024

description: This thesis analyses the organisational and decision-making processes of worker cooperatives, which are productive organisations that are collectively owned and controlled by their worker-members. The research is based on qualitative data gathered via semi-structured interviews, participant observation, and document analysis, from five worker cooperatives in the United Kingdom, which varied substantially in terms of size and operational activities. Organised in three stand-alone papers, there are three distinct, yet interrelated arguments derived from the findings. Firstly, by evaluating the ways in which worker-members organise work, the findings suggest that worker cooperatives can prevent degenerative tendencies and maintain collective control through the implementation of decentralised organisational structures or through practices that facilitate empowerment in the workplace. Secondly, examining the work process of worker cooperatives within the broader capitalist context which necessitates capital valorisation, the findings suggest that certain organisational tensions remain inevitable. Despite their inevitability, however, the intensity and form of these tensions can vary depending on the organisational and decision-making structure of the cooperative, with worker-members being able to address and alleviate some of the pressures. Finally, the findings suggest that worker-members adapt their organisational practices, not only to maintain operational continuity but also to enhance their sense of collective autonomy and protect their shared values and priorities. Overall, the thesis acts as an indication of how worker-members can construct non-exploitative spaces of production that provide for their material needs while allowing for democracy and worker control to flourish.

description: Introduction and background: Often, eHealth services are not accepted because of factors such as eHealth literacy or trust. Within this study, eHealthMonitor was evaluated in three European countries (Germany, Greece, and Poland) by medical professionals and laypersons with respect to numerous acceptance factors. Methods: Questionnaires were created on the basis of factors from literature and with the help of scales which have already been validated. A qualitative survey was conducted in Germany, Poland, and Greece. Results: The eHealth literacy of all participants was medium/high. Laypersons mostly agreed that they could easily become skillful with eHealthMonitor and that other people thought that they should use eHealthMonitor. Amongst medical professionals, a large number were afraid that eHealthMonitor could violate their privacy or the privacy of their patients. Overall, the participants thought that eHealthMonitor was a good concept and that they would use it. Discussion and conclusion: The main hindrances to the use of eHealthMonitor were found in trust issues including data privacy. In the future, more research on the linkage of all measured factors is needed, for example, to address the question of whether highly educated people tend to mistrust eHealth information more than people with lower levels of education.

description: Plant diversity affects multi-trophic communities, but in young regrowth forests, where forest insects are in the process of re-establishment, other biotic and also abiotic factors might be more important. We studied cavity-nesting bees, wasps and their natural enemies along an experimental tree diversity gradient in subtropical South-East China. We compared insect communities of experimental young forests with communities of established natural forests nearby the experiment and tested for direct and indirect effects of tree diversity, tree basal area (a proxy of tree biomass), canopy cover and microclimate on bee and wasp community composition, abundance and species richness. Finally, we tested if the trophic levels of bees, herbivore-hunting wasps, spider-hunting wasps and their natural enemies respond similarly. Forest bee and wasp community composition re-established towards communities of the natural forest with increasing tree biomass and canopy cover. These factors directly and indirectly, via microclimatic conditions, increased the abundance of bees, wasps and their natural enemies. While bee and wasp species richness increased with abundance and both were not related to tree diversity, abundance increased directly with canopy cover, mediated by tree biomass. Abundance of natural enemies increased with host (bee and wasp) abundance irrespective of their trophic position. In conclusion, although maximizing tree diversity is an important goal of reforestation and forest conservation, rapid closure of canopies is also important for re-establishing communities of forest bees, wasps and their natural enemies.

description: Exposure of renal cells to high glucose (HG) during diabetes has been recently proposed to be involved in renal injury. In the present study, we investigated a potential mechanism by which AICAR treatment regulates the DNA repair enzyme, 8-oxoG-DNA glycosylase (OGG1) in renal proximal tubular mouse cells exposed to HG and in kidney of db/db mice. Cells treated with HG for 2 days show inhibition in OGG1 promoter activity as well as OGG1 and Nrf2 protein expression. In addition, activation of AMPK by AICAR resulted in an increase raptor phosphorylation at Ser792 and leads to increase the promoter activity of OGG1 through upregulation of Nrf2. Downregulation of AMPK by DN-AMPK and raptor and Nrf2 by siRNA resulted in significant decease in promoter activity and protein expression of OGG1. On the other hand, downregulation of Akt by DN-Akt and rictor by siRNA resulted in significant increase in promoter activity and protein expression of Nrf2 and OGG1. Moreover, gel shift analysis shows reduction of Nrf2 binding to OGG1 promoter in cells treated with HG while cells treated with AICAR reversed the effect of HG. Furthermore, db/db mice treated with AICAR show significant increased in AMPK and raptor phosphroylation as well as OGG1 and Nrf2 protein expression that associated with significant decrease in oxidative DNA damage (8-oxodG) compared to non-treated mice. In summary, our data provide a novel protective mechanism by which AICAR prevents renal cell damage in diabetes and the consequence complications of hyperglycemia with a specific focus on nephropathy.

description: This work presents a regularized eigenstrain formulation around the slip plane of dislocations and the resultant non-singular solutions for various dislocation configurations. Moreover, we derive the generalized Eshelby stress tensor of the configurational force theory in the context of the proposed dislocation model. Based on the non-singular finite element solutions and the generalized configurational force formulation, we calculate the driving force on dislocations of various configurations, including single edge/screw dislocation, dislocation loop, interaction between a vacancy dislocation loop and an edge dislocation, as well as a dislocation cluster. The non-singular solutions and the driving force results are well benchmarked for different cases. The proposed formulation and the numerical scheme can be applied to any general dislocation configuration with complex geometry and loading conditions.

description: The Kenyan banking industry contributes significant lyto the government revenues yet financial reports indicate that Kenya’s listed banks recorded a negative EPS (earnings per share) indicating a decline in growth of the core earnings pershare. The study looked at the effects of Poter’s generic strategies on performance of commercial banks in Kenya. The study focused on the 11 listed commercial banks in Kenya with one being used for pilot. The respondents comprised of 68 heads of departments, 11CEOs,29regional heads, and 145 regional managers. The findings revealed that porter’s generic strategies have an effect on performance of commercial banks(β=.645, p=.000) and accounted for 41.6% variance. It is concluded from the findings that porter’s generic strategies has a positive effect on performance of commercial banks. It is recommended from the findings that companies improve more on the cost strategy to realize better performance.

description: The Kenyan banking industry contributes significant lyto the government revenues yet financial reports indicate that Kenya’s listed banks recorded a negative EPS (earnings per share) indicating a decline in growth of the core earnings pershare. The study looked at the effects of Poter’s generic strategies on performance of commercial banks in Kenya. The study focused on the 11 listed commercial banks in Kenya with one being used for pilot. The respondents comprised of 68 heads of departments, 11CEOs,29regional heads, and 145 regional managers. The findings revealed that porter’s generic strategies have an effect on performance of commercial banks(β=.645, p=.000) and accounted for 41.6% variance. It is concluded from the findings that porter’s generic strategies has a positive effect on performance of commercial banks. It is recommended from the findings that companies improve more on the cost strategy to realize better performance.

description: Following the recommendations of the European Strategy Group for High Energy Physics, CERN started the Future Circular Collider Study (FCC), a design study for possible future circular collider projects to investigate their feasibility for high energy physics research. One part of this study is FCC-ee, an e⁺/e^{−} collider with a circumference of 100 km. Challenges for the lattice design result from operation at four different beam energies ranging from 45.5 GeV to 175 GeV. Very high beamstrahlung effects at high energies and the beam-beam limit at low energies request emittance parameters that rise with decreasing beam energy. This talk will present the status of the lattice design and the lattice modifications needed to achieve the requested emittance parameters.

description: In der Automobilindustrie werden einphasige Strömungssimulationen seit vielen Jahren zur Aerodynamik- und Aeroakustikentwicklung eingesetzt. Sie gewähren einen detaillierten Einblick in das Strömungsfeld und helfen bei der Optimierung des Luftwiderstands und des Innenraumpegels in frühen Phasen des Fahrzeugentwicklungsprozesses. Daneben spielen zweiphasige Strömungssimulationen eine zunehmende Rolle, z. B. bei der Funktion der Scheibenwischer, der Sichtfreihaltung von Scheiben, der Reinigung von Sensoren oder dem Abtropfen von Regenwasser beim Öffnen von Türen und Klappen. Solche Mehrphasenströmungen sind jedoch weitaus komplexer und weniger gut verstanden. BMW arbeitet zusammen mit der TU Darmstadt an der Weiterentwicklung von Simulationsmethoden zur frühzeitigen Analyse und Auslegung des externen Wassermanagements.
 
Im vorliegenden Beitrag werden drei Anwendungsfälle mit zweiphasigen Strömungen betrachtet. Der erste Anwendungsfall umfasst die Beaufschlagung der Frontscheibe mit Regenwasser, dessen Verdrängung durch die Scheibenwischer und das Abfließen des Wassers. Beim zweiten Anwendungsfall wird das Ablaufverhalten von Regenwasser am stehenden Fahrzeug berechnet und überprüft, ob und wie das Wasser beim Öffnen der Heckklappe in den Fahrzeuginnenraum abtropft. Der letzte Anwendungsfall betrifft die Reinigung von Sensoren zur Fahrzeugumfeldüberwachung im Rahmen des teil-, hoch- und vollautomatisierten Fahrens. Damit das Reinigungsmedium jederzeit effizient seinen Zweck erfüllt, wird das Sensorreinigungssystem simulativ optimiert. Für alle drei Anwendungsfälle werden die zugrundeliegenden Methoden erläutert, Simulationsergebnisse präsentiert und ein Abgleich mit experimentellen Daten zur Validierung durchgeführt.

description: Mary Magdalene and Rebecca – an inspiration for the women's feminist movement in the Catholic Church in Poland? 

A combination of feminist theology and feminist hermeneutics inclines them to complement and enrich mutually. Taking a try at the reinterpretation of the Bible with consideration of male-female dualism can create space for renewal and reconstruction of the role of a woman in The Catholic church. Re-reading the biblical characters can be an inspiration to taking new actions enriching The Catholic church. This chapter points to two female biblical characters – Rebecca, the wife of Isaac, mother of Jacob and Esau, and Mary Magdalene, presented as a repentant sinner. Rebecca and Mary Magdalene with their actions could amaze, surprise and shock people who were around them. Both of them were living in the world of specified social norms. Both of them realized their position in society and questioned applicable social norms. Both of them became some kind of feminists of their time. Modern women want to take and take the same actions. They want to change the awareness of other people and their surrounding reality in accordance with feminist and emancipatory trends. The aim of the chapter is to encourage reflection and to search answer the question: Can Rebecca and Mary Magdalene become the inspiration for the modern woman and show them the road of independence and strength to set their own goals?The chapter does not include an unequivocal answer but encourages verifying knowledge about biblical female characters and the situation of women in The Catholic church. The chapter contains an introduction to discussed issues. Next, the meaning of feminism and emancipation has been explained and historical and cultural background has been presented. In the next step, a case study of Rebecca and Mary Magdalene has been done. In the end, an attempt to define their potential to become the inspiration for modern women has been made.

description: The Bos indicus zebu cattle Butana is the most commonly used indigenous dairy cattle breed in Sudan. In the last years, high-yielding Holstein dairy cattle were introgressed into Butana cattle to improve their milk yield and simultaneously keep their good adaption to extreme environmental conditions. With the focus on the improvement of milk production, other problems arose such as an increased susceptibility to mastitis. Thus, genetic selection for mastitis resistance should be considered to maintain healthy and productive cows. In this study, we tested 10 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) which had been associated with somatic cell score (SCS) in Holstein cattle for association with SCS in 37 purebred Butana and 203 Butana × Holstein crossbred cattle from Sudan. Animals were genotyped by competitive allele-specific PCR assays and association analysis was performed using a linear mixed model. All 10 SNPs were segregating in the crossbred Butana × Holstein populations, but only 8 SNPs in Sudanese purebred Butana cattle. The SNP on chromosome 13 was suggestively associated with SCS in the Butana × Holstein crossbred population (rs109441194, 13:79,365,467, PBF = 0.054) and the SNP on chromosome 19 was significantly associated with SCS in both populations (rs41257403, 19:50,027,458, Butana: PBF = 0.003, Butana × Holstein: PBF = 6.2 × 10−16). The minor allele of both SNPs showed an increase in SCS. Therefore, selection against the disadvantageous minor allele could be used for genetic improvement of mastitis resistance in the studied populations. However, investigations in a bigger population and across the whole genome are needed to identify additional genomic loci.

description: A series of novel N-pyridylpyrazolecarboxamides containing benzothiazole were designed and synthesized. The target compounds were identified by 1H NMR,13C-NMR, IR, high-resolution mass spectrum (HRMS) and elemental analysis. The bioactivities of the new compounds against oriental army worm (Mythimnaseparata) and diamond back moth (Plutellaxylostella) were evaluated. The results of bioassays indicated that some of the compounds showed good activitiesat the tested concentrations. Compound Ij showed 100% larvicidal activities against Plutellaxylostella at 2.5 mg/L, while the activity of Ij against Mythimnaseparata was 100% at 10 mg/L.

description: The DataCite Metadata Working Group has been working on the next batch of metadata schema changes—and we need your feedback! Today, we are sharing a new Request for Comments (RFC) with several proposed changes to the DataCite Metadata Schema.

Since Schema 4.5 was finalized, we have been working on numerous ideas put forward by the DataCite community - some of which are reflected in this RFC. The set of changes we are sharing here is not yet a complete schema version; rather, this RFC contains an assortment of changes that may be released in different versions—e.g., some changes may be released in Version 4.6, while others may be scheduled for later versions. The implementation details and release timing of specific changes will depend on complexity, backward compatibility, and the DataCite development roadmap.

description: Poly(N,N’-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate) (PDMAEMA) samples were synthesized via aqueous atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) with DPn of 35, 151, 390, and 546 and dispersity of 1.13, 1.17, 1.20 and 1.18 respectively. All samples were exposed to temperature and pH variations at different concentration of polymer and salt (NaCl). Results indicated that cloud point (Tcl) can be controlled by changing DPn, polymer concentration, and ionic strength of solution. According to results, Tcl of the PDMAEMA chains shifted to lower temperatures with increasing solution pH at all molecular weight ranges due to deprotonation of tertiary amine groups in polymer structure. However, higher molecular weight polymers were more sensitive to pH variation especially in alkaline media. Also, higher polymer concentration acted as driving force to decrease cloud point of samples and formation of aggregates that was more predominant for higher molecular weights at alkaline media. Tcl of PDMAEMA chains decreased with increasing ionic strength even at low pH values for low molecular weight polymers.
title: Age and origin of groundwater resources in the Ararat Valley, Armenia: a baseline study applying hydrogeochemistry and environmental tracers

description: Within the Ararat Valley (Armenia), a continuously growing water demand (for irrigation and fish farming) and a simultaneous decline in groundwater recharge (due to climate change) result in increasing stress on the local groundwater resources. This detrimental development is reflected by groundwater-level drops and an associated reduction of the area with artesian conditions in the valley centre. This situation calls for increasing efforts aimed at more sustainable water resources management. The aim of this baseline study was the collection of data that allows for study on the origin and age distribution of the Ararat Valley groundwater based on environmental tracers, namely stable (δ²H, δ¹⁸O) and radioactive (³⁵S, ³H) isotopes, as well as physical-chemical indicators. The results show that the Ararat Valley receives modern recharge, despite its (semi-)arid climate. While subannual groundwater residence times could be disproved (³⁵S), the detected ³H pattern suggests groundwater ages of several decades, with the oldest waters being recharged around 60 years ago. The differing groundwater ages are reflected by varying scatter of stable isotope and hydrochemical signatures. The presence of young groundwater (i.e., younger that the 1970s), some containing nitrate, indicates groundwater vulnerability and underscores the importance of increased efforts to achieve sustainable management of this natural resource. Since stable isotope signatures indicate the recharge areas to be located in the mountains surrounding the valley, these efforts must not be limited to the central part of the valley where most of the abstraction wells are located.
