description: An increase in market demand for poultry is driving indiscriminate use of antibiotic agents. Exposure toantibiotics reduces animal and human immunity to currently curable diseases, a phenomenon known as antimicrobial resistance. Unchecked antibiotic use results in environmental contamination through poultry waste and effluents, affecting farms as well as their surroundings. The resulting antimicrobial resistance renders human farmers, their neighbours, as well as consumers, more vulnerable to outbreaks of mutant diseases.

This policy brief describes investigations of the environmental conditions in poultry farms in Baramati district of Maharashtra. Based on the findings, it outlines measures to combat antimicrobial resistance in poultry farm environments by:

Enforcing environment and food safety guidelines

Empowering farmers to reduce antibiotic use

Engaging agencies in antimicrobial resistance monitoring
Towards Emotion-Sensitive Conversational User Interfaces in Healthcare Applications

Subjects: Conversational user interface deep learning natural language processing sentiment analysis

description: Perception of emotions and adequate responses are key factors of a successful conversational agent. However, determining emotions in a healthcare setting depends on multiple factors such as context and medical condition. Given the increase of interest in conversational agents integrated in mobile health applications, our objective in this work is to introduce a concept for analyzing emotions and sentiments expressed by a person in a mobile health application with a conversational user interface. The approach bases upon bot technology (Synthetic intelligence markup language) and deep learning for emotion analysis. More specifically, expressions referring to sentiments or emotions are classified along seven categories and three stages of strengths using treebank annotation and recursive neural networks. The classification result is used by the chatbot for selecting an appropriate response. In this way, the concerns of a user can be better addressed. We describe three use cases where the approach could be integrated to make the chatbot emotion-sensitive.

description: With the aim of gathering new knowledge about the complex processes that lead to the breakdown of foster care placements, an international research team explored the reasons for the unplanned termination of these placements in Germany, England, and Switzerland. The Project 'Foster Care Placement Breakdown' (2014-2017) was a cooperation between the Universities of Siegen and London and the Zürich University of Applied Sciences, School of Social Work (lead), financed by the Jacobs Foundation. In this article, we present the findings from the Swiss subproject, focusing on the experiences and definitions of foster children and foster parents, exploring how foster children and foster parents experience and explain placement breakdown processes. We explore key topics and influences based on interviews with foster children (n=13) and foster parents (n=20). These qualitative, semi-structured interviews were carried out in German-speaking Switzerland. The data evaluation involved a combination of hermeneutic and content-analysis processes. The results show that foster care placement breakdown processes are always complex, subject to the influence of multiple factors, and cannot be reduced to isolated causes. What emerges clearly in the research, however, is that one experience common to foster children who have gone through a breakdown in foster care is the feeling of no longer belonging to the foster family from a particular point in time. From the perspective of the foster parents, it is possible to reconstruct different conditional constellations (e.g., stresses and burdens on foster parents or a lack of willingness of schools to support the foster child) associated with the process of foster care placement breakdown. The results provide important insights for the supervision of foster care placements and the management of placement breakdown processes.

description: Objective We evaluated whether regional differences in physical activity (PA) and sedentary behaviour (SB) existed along language boundaries within Switzerland and whether potential differences would be explained by sociodemographics or environmental characteristics. Methods We combined data of 611 children aged 4 to 7 years from four regional studies. PA and SB were assessed by accelerometers. Information about the socio-demographic background was obtained by questionnaires. Objective neighbourhood attributes could be linked to home addresses. Multivariate regression models were used to test associations between PA and SB and socio-demographic characteristics and neighbourhood attributes. Results Children from the German compared to the French-speaking region were more physically active and less sedentary (by 10–15 %, p\0.01). Although Germanspeaking children lived in a more favourable environment and a higher socioeconomic neighbourhood (differences p\0.001), these characteristics did not explain the differences in PA behaviour between French and German speaking. Conclusions Factors related to the language region, which might be culturally rooted were among the strongest correlates of PA and SB among Swiss children, independent of individual, social and environmental factors.

description: In common layer hybrid nutrition, feedstuffs potentially human edible and soybean-based feeds cover most of the diet. The use of alternative energy and protein sources is limited due to insufficient nutrient density. We investigated whether less demanding dual-purpose poultry would better tolerate a diet composed of food industry by-products and grain legumes. Hen types investigated were Lohmann Brown Plus (LB, layer hybrid; n = 10), Lohmann Dual (LD, a dual-purpose hybrid; n = 10), Belgian Malines (BM) and Schweizerhuhn (CH) (both traditional dual-purpose breeds; n = 9). Hens were in late stage of lay. In a cross-over design, hens received for 4 weeks a common layer diet (C; 11.5 MJ/kg N-corrected metabolizable energy (ME) and 4.3 g methionine/kg) or a diet exclusively composed of by-products and grain legumes (B; 10.4 MJ/kg ME and 2.4 g methionine/kg). Subsequently they stayed for another 8 weeks on the respectively other diet until slaughter. Feed efficiency (g feed/g egg) was better in LB (2.7) and LD (2.8) than CH (4.6) and BM (5.2). Body and carcass weights (kg) were highest in BM (3.4/2.0), followed by CH (2.6/1.6), and lowest in LB and LD (both 1.9/1.1). Feed efficiency was higher in diet C than B, as was egg weight (g; C: 63; B: 59). Diet B adversely affected carcass weight, breast meat yield and meat shear force, but not egg quality. Feed intake (g/day) declined in LB from 121 to 65 and in LD from 102 to 80 when switching from diet C to B. With diet B, laying performance declined from 92 to 53% in LB and from 70 to 50% in LD. Both traits remained unaffected in BM and CH, showing that diet B was sufficient only in these two hen types in late laying. Further studies have to confirm these results with more replicates and different by-product diets.

description: Freedom is often defined by the choices we make, but this essay explores a deeper understanding: freedom as the capacity to choose itself. Rooted in the human mind's ability to deliberate, reflect, and decide, this perspective shifts the focus from actions to the intrinsic potential that enables them. By exploring philosophical, psychological, and neurobiological dimensions, this essay argues that freedom is not merely an external condition but an internal capability that defines our humanity.The author acknowledges the use of OpenAI’s language model for assistance in drafting certain sections of this workl
Measuring Public-Private-Substitution After Divorce: Ex-Spouse Income and the Effect of Marital Separation on Social Assistance Take-up

description: Both public social assistance and private child and spousal support reduce the poverty risks of single parent households. However, research on system interactions has highlighted that social assistance eligibility is often denied for households that have a private support order. Such public-private substitution reduces social expenditures but undermines poverty reduction and prolongs economic dependency in separated couples. Using Swiss administrative data on ex-spouse income and social assistance take-up after divorce, this study develops an empirical approach to quantify public-private substitution. We have found that marital separation increased a mother’s probability of receiving social assistance by 19 percentage points if both her own and her ex-spouse’s income were in the bottom 30% of the distribution. This probability was reduced to 1 percentage point for low-income mothers whose ex-spouses had top-30% incomes. This strict public-private substitution could partially account for child poverty and reflects the traditional gender regime in Switzerland.
Talk-based approaches to support people who are distressed by their experience of hearing voices: a scoping review

description: Background: The positive effects of both antipsychotic medication and cognitive behavioral therapy in psychosis (CBTp) for people who are distressed by their experience of hearing voices remain limited. As a result, there has been a recent surge in talk-based individual approaches. Many of these continue not to be very well known nor implemented in practice. Some of the approaches may focus more on understanding and dealing constructively with voices, an element that has been identified as potentially helpful by voice hearers. Existing barriers to a wider implementation include both the widespread pathologization of hearing voices and a lack of mental health professionals who have been trained and trusted to carry out these new interventions. Methods: This scoping review aimed to identify and describe a current synthesis of talk-based individual approaches for people who hear voices, including studies independently of method of study or approach, diagnosis of voice hearers nor of the professional background of interventionists. Results: Nine different talk-based approaches were identified. These included: (1) Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Psychosis (CBTp); (2) AVATAR therapy; (3) Making Sense of Voices (MsV) aka Experience Focused Counselling (EFC); (4) Relating Therapy; (5) Acceptance and Commitment Therapy; (6) Smartphone-based Coping-focused Intervention; (7) Prolonged and Virtual Reality Exposure Therapy; (8) Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, and (9) Individual Mindfulness-based Program for Voice Hearing. The different approaches differed greatly in relation to the number of sessions, length of time offered and the scientific evidence on efficacy. Psychologists represented the main professional group of interventionists. CBTp and the MsV/EFC approach also included health professionals, like nurses, as implementers. Most of the approaches showed positive outcomes in relation to voice related distress levels. None identified overall or voice specific deteriorations. Conclusion: There appears to be a strong case for the implementation of a broader heterogeneity of approaches in practice. This would also be in line with recommendations for recovery focused services and requirements of voice hearers. A greater emphasis on whole systems implementation and thus the involvement of frontline staff, like nurses, in the delivery of these approaches would likely reduce the research-practice implementation gap.

Year: 2022

description: Agricultural intensification during the green revolution involved heavy use of chemical fertilisers and pesticides which have had detrimental effects on the environment, soil and human health. Indiscriminate use of chemical fertilizers has led to soil acidification, and soil health is failing due to intensive agriculture with no application of soil revival techniques, unsustainable land management practices such as leaving the soil open to weathering between two crops, etc. Additionally, use of chemical pesticides has resulted in unintentional killing of useful insects (pollinators), animals, birds and organisms, while also contributing to serious human health issues. Farmers who apply these chemicals are highly prone to their adverse health effects.

In this policy brief, we explore the role of regenerative agriculture in soil health, and suggest the following measures to improve impact:

Support integrated agroecological farming infrastructure

"Live high - train low": ein erfolgreiches Höhentrainingsparadigma zur Leistungssteigerung bei Eliteausdauerathleten?
Creators: name: Wehrlin, Jon Peter
Publisher: name: Rubmedia

Subjects: Höhentraining Leistungssteigerung Elite Ausdauersport

description: Während der Nutzen der Höhenakklimatisation für eine verbesserte ausdauerleistungsfähigkeit in der Höhe gut dokumentiert ist, wird die Höhentrainingsmethode «oben schlafen – oben trainieren» («live high – train high»; LHTH) als Vorbereitung für Wettkämpfe im Flachland kontrovers diskutiert. Eine optimierte Variante stellt «oben schlafen – unten trainieren» («live high – train low»; LHTL) dar. LHTL versucht auf der einen Seite, den Vorteil der positiven Höhenakklimatisationseffekte durch das «Live high» beizubehalten (vor allem die Zunahme des Erythrozytenvolumens und der Hämoglobinmasse), während auf der anderen Seite der Nachteil (hauptsächlich die reduzierte absolute Trainingsintensität in der Höhe) möglichst minimiert werden soll. Dieses Höhentrainingsparadigma hat sich bei Eliteausdauerathleten in der Vorbereitung für Wettkämpfe im Flachland als vorteilhaft gegenüber von LHTH und normalem Training im Flachland erwiesen. Mögliche erfolgsmindernde Faktoren sind: 1) eine ungenügende «hypoxische Dosis» des LHTL (empfohlen ist ein Aufenthalt von 3–4 Wochen mit mindestens 400 Std. auf einer Höhe von ca. 2300–2600 m); 2) ein inadäquater Trainingsstimulus während des LHTL (Unteroder Übertrainingssymptome); 3) Probleme mit dem «Timing» des Wettkampfes und dem Training nach dem Höhenaufenthalt; 4) medizinische Probleme (Atemwegserkrankungen, Infektionen, Höhenkrankheit usw.); 5) eine individuell schwache «Akklimatisationsresponse» an die Höhe. Wenn LHTL sorgfältig durchgeführt wird, bietet diese Höhentrainingsmethode auch als Vorbereitung für Wettkämpfe im Flachland ein zusätzliches Potential zur Leistungssteigerung bei Eliteausdauerathleten.

Der Beitrag geht der Frage nach, ob Forschendes Lernen zur Persönlichkeitsentwicklung beitragen kann. Dazu wird der Begriff der wissenschaftlichen Ausbildung analysiert und daraus ein Konzept Forschenden Lernens abgeleitet. Daran lässt sich der Begriff der Persönlichkeit anschließen und die Fragestellung beantworten. Forschendes Lernen trägt zur Persönlichkeitsentwicklung bei: In einem Gruppensettinq fördert es Sozialkompetenzen, und in der Dimension der Selbstkompetenz erfordert es insbesondere Selbstsicherheit, Offenheit und Gewissenhaftigkeit und fördert diese vermutlich zugleich.

Variable Inputs Allocation among Crops: A Time-Varying Random Parameters Approach

subject: crop production decisions
subject: random parameter models
subject: SAEM algorithm

description: In this paper, we propose an approach to allocate input uses among crops produced by farmers, based on panel data that includes input use aggregated at the farm-level. Our proposed approach simultaneously allows for (i) controlling for observed and unobserved farm heterogeneity, (ii) accounting for the potential dependence of input uses on acreage decisions, and (iii) ensuring consistent values of input use estimates. These are significant issues commonly faced in the estimation of input allocation equations. The approach is based on a model of input allocation derived from accounting identities, where unobserved input uses per crop are treated as time-varying random parameters. We estimate our model on a sample of French farms’ accounting data, by relying on an extension of the Stochastic Approximation of Expectation Maximization algorithm. Our results show good performance of our approach in accurately allocating input uses among crops, for the crops the most frequently produced in our data sample in particular.
The role of strategic alliances in VC exits: evidence from the biotechnology industry

description: In this study, we analyze the impact of strategic alliances on VC exits. We explicitly ask whether strategic alliances may serve as a certifying device for new potential investors and whether the role alliances play differs in IPO and M&As. We hypothesize that strategic alliances serve as a certifying device particularly in instances with many uninformed buyers (IPOs) but not when there is a single buyer (M&As). To empirically test this hypothesis, we draw on a sample of 663 US VC-backed biotechnology companies founded between 2004 and 2008. We explicitly control for observed and unobserved heterogeneity in our cohort sample, alleviate concerns relating to self-selection into alliance activity, and assuage methodological concerns with respect to censoring. Our findings suggest that alliances improve the probability of successful exits for IPOs, but not for M&As. Moreover, we find a smaller effect than prior studies do.

description: Pollinators are a key component of natural and agricultural systems, helping pollinate many important foods such as fruits and vegetables. Indiscriminate use of chemicals in agriculture seriously threatens populations of pollinators. Additionally, expansion of urban development encroaches not only on surrounding agriculture, but also farm and natural habitats of pollinators. Nevertheless, urban farms and gardens, may in fact, be harnessed to support pollinators and the foods they help propagate.

In this policy brief, we explore the role of urban landscapes in creating habitat for pollinators, and suggest the following measures to enhance this habitat:

Planning pollinator habitat in urban farms and gardens

Adding pollinator-friendly features to urban landscapes

Enabling citizens and farmers to host urban pollinators

description: The main objective of the PLATO Study was to gain insight into the Platinum/Diamond open access publishing ecosystem in Switzerland through a mixed-method approach. The study consisted of three parts: First, bibliometric data were combined with inputs from Swiss open access publishers, institutional open access experts as well as information on journal websites to identify Swiss Diamond Open Access journals and their main characteristics. Second, seven semi-structured interviews with editors of select Diamond Open Access journals were conducted to generate a thorough understanding of their workflows, infrastructures, business models, challenges and opportunities. Third, based on the inputs from the interviews, three surveys were designed and sent to authors/reviewers, editors, and representatives of hosting and funding institutions of Swiss Diamond OA journals.

description: This thesis discusses concepts of cosmopolitism and peripherality in the Greek and wider European goth scene. The research took place primarily in Greece but extended to Germany, the United Kingdom and online as I followed the movement of Athenian goths who were searching for connectivity, hybridity and their cosmopolitan selves. In living a hybrid cosmopolitan identity, goths regularly challenge national stereotypes and transgress international boundaries. But sometimes the complexities of goth cosmopolitan identity may also contain unpalatable aspects, such as hard-core Greek or German nationalism and views that verge on xenophobia or anarchism that are seemingly at odds with the ‘open’ and ‘egalitarian’ persona put forward by Athenian goths. It is through performance (particularly dance) that Athenian goths choose to express their beliefs and desires, blending aspects of the contemporary goth scene with twists of ‘traditional’ Greek ideas. Often performance, with all its paradoxes and hybrid contradictions, says more than words. Movement is at the centre of goth identity; the movement of ideas on social media, the physical movement of goths to overseas festivals and the exchange of opinions among goths at nightclubs in Athens all contribute to a hybrid cosmopolitan identity of a group of people who reside both on the geographical periphery of Europe and on the periphery of their own society. Goth identity is hybrid and complex with layers of peripherality being channelled toward becoming an ever-developing cosmopolitan subject. This thesis focuses on the core aspects of the goth life-project which aim for individuality, connectivity, movement and inclusivity. Being able to creatively display one’s hybrid cosmopolitanism is the very essence of what it is to be goth.
CP-MAS 13C NMR and FT-IR investigation of the degradation reactions of polymer constituents in wood welding

description: The essential chemical modifications involving the polymeric constituents of wood in friction welding occur in the first 5-6 s slowing down or even stopping afterwards. FT-IR and CP-MAS 13C NMR of the welded area of wood have shown dehydration and an apparent increase in the crystallinity of cellulose. A certain level of hemicelluloses degradation occurs, accompanied by the generation of some furfural. Cellulose degradation is instead very slight. Both analytical techniques show an increase in the proportion of lignin in the welding interphase. A proportion of methoxy groups of lignin is de-etherified to phenolic hydroxy groups. Self-condensation of lignin occurs by internal rearrangement with the formation of Ar-Ar and Ar-CH2-Ar bridges. This progresses throughout the whole process of welding. The formation of C-O-C bridges, although stopping after 6 s welding, at the start of wood carbonisation, also appears to contribute to the increase in cross-linking of the lignin network. ?? 2007 Elsevier Ltd.

description: Agroecological practices such as crop diversification (intercropping, crop rotation, agroforestry, etc.) and livestock integration offer ecological benefits such as carbon and water sequestration. In the long term, such practices often improve on-farm soil health and water use efficiency on-farm. However, civil society organisations (CSOs) that promote these practices encounter many social, economic, and institutional challenges in persuading farmers, including unclear short-term trade-offs associated with agroecological transitions. Evidence-based economic forecasting is crucial to ensuring that farmers’ incomes are supported during transitions for improved agroecological outcomes.

In this policy brief, we pilot a farm-scale tool to estimate the trade-offs between farmer income, carbon storage, and water requirement across different types of farms in a semi-arid region, and suggest the following measures to better plan farm interventions:

1. Provide farmers with information on farm design options

2. Tailor agroecological interventions to local land use, needs, and priorities

3. Develop and implement joint landscape management for ecosystem services

Subjects: Middle aged Overweight Obesity Telemedicine Women

description: BACKGROUND: This article is an overview of the scientific research on the effectiveness of the original weight management program delivered via telehealth services for middle-aged overweight women - the summary of three original scientific studies that complement each other (N.=55, N.=105, N.=62). METHODS: The manuscript presents theoretical analysis of special scientific and methodological literature, anthropometric and pedagogical methods and methods of mathematical statistics. The physical fitness profile of the middle-aged overweight and obese women was assessed by factor analysis. RESULTS: The pilot feasibility study involving women with an average age of 37.2 years (N.=55) was designed to explore the possibility of remote implementation of primary and ongoing measurement for main anthropometric indicators characterizing excessive body weight. The cross-sectional study involving overweight and obese women (via the Body Mass Index [BMI] from 25.00 to 32.10 kg/m2) with an average age of 38.9 years (N.=105) explored the data with factor analysis and identified the major factors, which determined the structure of physical condition in middle-aged obese women and selected the most informative criteria for designing self-training exercise programs. These criteria were used to evaluate the effectiveness of the original weight management program delivered via telehealth services for middle-aged overweight women in interventional cohort study (N.=62). Participation in the weight management program resulted in significant changes in the morpho-functional status of the women. CONCLUSIONS: This article consisting of three blocks presents the original weight management program whose detailed description and proved effectiveness make this article valuable from a practical point of view for health care professionals who consider telemedicine tools possible for implantation in their practice with obese people.
