description: Fetal hypoxia contributes significantly to the pathogenesis of permanent perinatal brain injury. Cerebrovascular pathology following hypoxia can lead to devastating and debilitating brain injury, such as that seen following stroke and haemorrhage, but the effect of in utero fetal hypoxia on the developing cerebrovasculature is not well understood. In the adult brain, robust up-regulation of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) occurs following hypoxia and cerebral ischemia which results in the formation of new blood vessels, as an adaptive response to protect and repair the brain from hypoxic injury. However, newly-formed blood vessels are fragile and prone to rupture. The aims of the studies described in this thesis were to determine how a single brief, but severe episode of fetal hypoxia in late gestation in sheep affects VEGF expression and the cerebral vasculature. We also determined the effects of this global hypoxia on fetal and neonatal behaviour to determine if the fetal brain can repair itself following a single brief hypoxic insult. The results show that 48 h after an in utero hypoxic insult, produced by 10 min of complete umbilical cord occlusion, the distribution of mean blood vessel size is greater in white matter but not gray matter, and there was greater blood vessel-associated VEGF expression white matter compared to gray matter. This was associated with disruption in blood brain barrier (BBB) permeability seen by increased extravasation of plasma albumin in white matter. When the fetuses were left in utero (5 – 10 days following UCO) until the onset of labour, increased VEGFR-2 expression was again seen in white, not gray matter. These studies highlight the importance of assessing VEGF/VEGFR system following in utero hypoxia in the developing fetal brain. Studies assessing both fetal and newborn behaviour following in utero global hypoxia showed that fetal electrocortical (ECoG) activity and breathing movements were disturbed throughout late gestation, and after birth there were delays in the newborn lamb achieving important behavioural milestones such as the ability to stand, use all four legs, and find the udder and suckle. Therefore, it is concluded that an antepartum hypoxic event late in gestation does not result in the fetal brain being able to recover fully, resulting in persistent and profound changes in brain structure and pre- and post-natal behaviour.

description: This study examines a group of Australian Indonesian-Muslim youths’ ways of being Muslim in relation to their experiences within their families and the Muslim community. Families and religious spaces are important social and educational sites for identity formation. In unpacking these young Indonesian Muslims’ ways of constructing and negotiating their Muslim identity, I interviewed 12 Muslim teenagers and their parents. The senior members of Indonesian Muslim community and the president of the Indonesian Muslim community of Victoria were also interviewed. The Indonesian youths also wrote personal narratives describing their experiences within their family as well as in the Muslim and broader community. In this study, I look at the ways in which Muslim identity is represented in the religious texts, the Qur`ān and the Hadith. These two central religious texts describe essentialised understandings of Muslim identity, which define Muslims as those who submit and surrender totally to the will of Allāh and express their devotion through fulfilling their religious duties. I also draw on the works of Muslim scholars located in the west such as Basit (1997, 2009), Mondal (2008), Ramadan (2004), Yasmeen (2008) and Zine (2008) on ways of being Muslim. While acknowledging that the construction of Muslim identity is rooted in religious doctrine, these Muslim scholars in the West also believe that Muslim identity is socially and culturally constructed. My research positionings as an insider and outsider are unpacked in this study. I share some similar experiences in being a Muslim like all my participants. Unlike, these young Muslims, however, I was born and have lived most of my life in Indonesia, a country with a Muslim majority. My educational and religious backgrounds are also different from those of my research participants. The findings of my study indicate that these Indonesian-Muslim youths’ experiences within their families and their community have significantly shaped their ways of understanding their Muslimness. These young Muslims hold essentialised understandings of Muslim identity, Australian identity and Indonesian identity. They associate specific physical, social, and cultural markers with these essentialised identities, albeit drawing on these different markers differently in their own ways of being young Muslim. Three groups emerged in my study: Balancing being Muslim, Australian and Indonesian; Being practising Muslims, Indonesian and Australian, and Being strong Muslims, Indonesian and Australian. These findings have provided insights into the ways in which Indonesian Muslim youth constructed their sense of Muslim identity within the Australian contexts. The findings also broaden understandings migrant communities and their cultural and religious experiences in Australia.

description: This is a review of my work focusing on molecular diagnostic markers, as well as the staging and surgical management of gastro-entero-pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NETs). We prospectively studied the clinical utility of 68Ga-DOTATATE imaging in the detection of unknown primary tumors and metastatic disease in patients with suspected or known GEP-NETs, and compared it to that of the current FDA-approved imaging modalities such as 111In- pentetreotide single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT/CT), computed tomography (CT), and/or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We found that 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT imaging was the most sensitive in the staging and detection of unknown primary GEP-NETs. These findings have opened new avenues for the diagnosis and treatment of GEP-NETs, as well as access to precision surgery, which combined with imaging and tumor genomics, represents the future in terms of the application of personalized cancer management.

Disorders of sexual development
Transdisciplinary management
Centralisation of surgery

description: Management of disorders of sexual development (DSD) partly remains controversial: initial clinical management, timing of surgical interventions and its applied techniques are a matter of debate. The present review describes the current management of the different groups of DSD. It underlines the significance of the neonatal period, both for the child as for the parents, when support is of outmost importance. As soon as possible and in a sensitive manner, a Relationship of trust must be established, later on passing information also to the child, adapted to his/her age. The management has to be discussed in and offered by a multidisciplinary team, ideally in a transdisciplinary way, and must be provided in a reference center. Long term follow-up until adulthood and beyond is mandatory. Surgical indications and techniques are discussed based on the state of the art. The importance of dedicated, specialized surgical teams is highlighted, allowing for expertise, hence obtaining a significant reduction of post-operative complications, as underlined by recent research. The discussion ends with some perspectives for the French-speaking Western part of Switzerland, this particularly in conjunction with the development of the University Center of Pediatric Surgery of Western Switzerland, implying centralisation of complex urological cases, DSD patients obviously being part of it.

Strategies to modulate the pancreatic beta-cell mass to prevent type 1 diabetes
Creators: name: Klee, Philippe
Publisher: name: Université de Genève
Year: 2018
Subjects: info:eu-repo/classification/ddc/618

description: Type 1 diabetes (T1DM) results from the autoimmune destruction of most insulin-producing pancreatic beta-cells. For affected patients, diagnosis of T1DM represents the beginning of a life-long treatment with insulin. Insulin permits survival but mean life expectancy of diabetic patients remains shorter than in controls and the treatment has a significant impact on the patients' quality of life. There is urgent need for strategies aiming at preventing the destruction of the pancreatic beta-cells or even at restoring a functional beta-cell mass after diagnosis of the disease. The aim of this thesis is to review the current knowledge about the risk factors for T1DM, as well as about the molecular pathways leading to the destruction of the insulin-producing beta-cells. Four articles are presented. They focus on the identification of mechanisms permitting either the modulation of the beta-cell mass or the modulation of the beta-cell sensitivity to cytokines such as interleukin 1β (IL-1β), tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα) and interferon γ (IFNγ), all of which being implicated in the beta-cell destruction in a context of T1DM. The work underlying this thesis opens the basis for further studies aiming at dissecting the mechanisms by which pharmacological agonists may modulate the resistance of pancreatic beta-cells against auto-immune attacks. Moreover, since beta-cell apoptosis in a context of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) shares common pathways with cell death observed in T1DM, it would be important to determine whether the protective mechanisms identified in this thesis may also apply to glucotoxicity, lipotoxicity and low grade inflammation, as seen in T2DM.

description: STUDIO CONDITIONS is a site-driven art project that explores how institutional structures and subjective identities mutually constitute each other. The project involves two types of sites: the artist’s studio in a university art department; and four fieldwork sites––a friend’s lounge-room, parent’s backyard, a student common room and an urban foreshore area. The work explores the roles artists play within the institution of art and academia. These concerns are explored in a material form via the production of sculptural furniture, related sited installations and performances. The artist’s fieldwork draws upon various community frameworks both within its understanding of site and its enactment of collaborative processes. The fieldwork highlights both local social narratives and the project’s institutional boundaries. The artistic activity in each respective site results in a ‘propositional artwork.’ These propositions involve publication of a sited idea rather than an actual sited intervention. As a result, the work is ‘site specific’ but only in the sense that it offers a discursive exploration of the idea of site. The exegetic text that accompanies STUDIO CONDITIONS explores the social aspects of the work. It argues that art is always, already, social, as the conditions of its production, exchange, and reception are products of society. The exegesis first contextualises STUDIO CONDITIONS within the tradition of Institutional Critique and draws on Andrea Fraser’s framing of this methodology as ‘critically reflexive site specificity.’ This strategy of interrogating the role of the co-opted artist within the institutional siting of art draws on a range of artistic, social and political considerations. The artwork is interpreted via a range of concerns that include: the historical lineage of identity politics; the psychological dimension of artistic failure within the progress-driven paradigm of the university; the complex community dynamics that surround any site of artistic process or presentation. Next the exegesis assesses how social relations within art are valued, give value and are evaluated within both heteronomous and autonomous conceptions of art. The discussion of sociability, art, and site includes an examination of Nicolas Bourriaud’s notion of ‘relational aesthetics’ and argues that this reading needs to be supplemented by a richer understanding of the ways in which sociability is embedded in art objects, in processes of production, in audience reception, and is embodied within the formal languages of objects and representation.

Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing: The Legal Standing of Fake Abortion Clinics
Creators: name: De Paula, Leela
Publisher: name: feminists@law
Year: 2022

description: Across the United States, fake abortion clinics calling themselves “crisis pregnancy centers” (CPCs) are being set up in record numbers by pro-life organizations. These centers operate to compromise the reproductive autonomy of women by dissuading them from getting abortions, disproportionately targeting women from minority communities through deceitful advertisement, scientific misinformation, and false promises of after-birth care. Despite their highly questionable practices, CPCs have little to no regulation as compared to real abortion clinics, relying on legal technicalities and conservative political support in state legislatures for their ongoing operation. An analysis of their legality shows a history of court cases and legislation challenging their existence, often overturned in their favor by conservative forces, and the potential of a few ongoing cases to grant them further influence in communities by limiting abortion access. However, there are promising options to undermine their current legal standing using both medical and consumer laws. As abortion rights stand to be overturned in the Supreme Court, it is important to recognize the CPCs’ crucial role in the anti-abortion movement and to curb their growing influence by limiting their scope of operation through the law and other forms of legal action.

description: Biodegradation of carbamazepine (CBZ), diclofenac sodium (DCF) and ibuprofen (IBP) was evaluated through fungal granules development in a sequencing batch reactor (SBR). Fungal granules were developed in co-culture of T. polyzona, A. niger, T. longibrachiatum, M. circinelloides and R. microsporus at a retention time (RT) of 2 days and 1 day. Ligninolytic enzymes [laccase (Lac), lignin peroxidase (LiP) and manganese peroxidase (MnP)] were determined. Removal of pharmaceuticals was assessed and metabolites identified using the SPE-UPLC-QToF/MS methods. A pH range of 3–4.6 was found to improve the granulation development from day 6 and the production of ligninolytic enzymes [MnP (253.00 ± 14.19 U/L), Lac (111.58 ± 10.00 U/L) and LiP (95.25 ± 8.22 U/L)]. At steady-state, a removal of 97.41±0.25%, 99.83±0.14%, and 99.91±0.08 were achieved at an RT of 2 days for CBZ, DCF, and IBP, respectively, and of 91.94±0.05%, 99.31±0.12% and 97.72±0.23% at an RT of 1 days for the same PhCs. A variety of chemical reactions have been proposed for degradation pathways catalysed by enzyme-producing fungi, generating fragment ions of intermediate compounds. This study is highly relevant for cost-effective and environmentally friendly wastewater treatment processes in water scare countries.

description: The influence of the distance between electrodes, electrical current, and flow rate of emulsified crude oil in water effluent through an electrocoagulation reactor was studied. Power switch at an interval of 30 s was used to reduce electrode passivation. The output variables were power consumption, pH, and oil removal from effluent. There was no significant change in the output variables with the working time of the reactor. The final pH was between 7.5 and 9.5 depending on the input variables. It increases with higher electrical current and tends to decrease with increased flow rate. Increasing electrical current tends to increase while increasing either distance between electrodes or the flow rate tends to reduce oil removal. Using a 2.88 L reactor, it is possible to treat 7.12 L of effluent in one hour, removing 78% of the crude oil, keeping final pH at 8.3, and this system will have an energy consumption of 21.6 kWh.

description: Although highway runoff has historically been extensively studied, the increasing complexity of stormwater management means that there are still significant gaps regarding the reduction of soluble metals. The work reported in this paper addresses these challenges by analysing the presence and behaviour of iron, copper and zinc in runoff from junction 24 of the M1 motorway in the UK (peak traffic flow: 30,000 vehicles per hour) and comparing it with other urban sources of metals found in the same catchment (a local brook and sewage treatment works). The sampling site included an interceptor and a treatment lagoon and the event monitoring indicated a trend by which the metals did not change their concentration or particulate soluble proportion immediately, hence showing that pre- and post-storm conditions are important factors when analysing the solubility of metals and their behaviour. The data provided further evidence of the important influence of storm characteristics on metal concentrations in highway runoff, in particular the effects of an antecedent dry weather period (ADWP). In addition, this study also helped us to better understand how the release of sodium the application of de-icer for road maintenance in winter affects the availability of zinc.

description: Biodegradation of carbamazepine (CBZ), diclofenac sodium (DCF) and ibuprofen (IBP) was evaluated through fungal granules development in a sequencing batch reactor (SBR). Fungal granules were developed in co-culture of T. polyzona, A. niger, T. longibrachiatum, M. circinelloides and R. microsporus at a retention time (RT) of 2 days and 1 day. Ligninolytic enzymes [laccase (Lac), lignin peroxidase (LiP) and manganese peroxidase (MnP)] were determined. Removal of pharmaceuticals was assessed and metabolites identified using the SPE-UPLC-QToF/MS methods. A pH range of 3 to 4.6 was found to improve the granulation development from day 6 and the production of ligninolytic enzymes [MnP (253.00 ± 14.19 U/L), Lac (111.58 ± 10.00 U/L) and LiP (95.25 ± 8.22 U/L)]. At steady-state, a removal of 97.41±0.25%, 99.83±0.14%, and 99.91±0.08 were achieved at an RT of 2 days for CBZ, DCF, and IBP, respectively, and of 91.94±0.05%, 99.31±0.12% and 97.72±0.23% at an RT of 1 days for the same PhCs. A variety of chemical reactions have been proposed for degradation pathways catalysed by enzyme-producing fungi, generating fragment ions of intermediate compounds. This study is highly relevant for cost-effective and environmentally friendly wastewater treatment processes in water scare countries.

description: The theme running through this thesis is quantitative MRI using 3D techniques, which allow isotropic coverage of whole organs and more accurate volumetric measurements and visualisation of small, complex structures. The use of contrast agents and the measurement of their concentration in vivo, as well as location and migration, is explored. In conclusion, this thesis describes the past, present and future of projects encompassing multidimensional quantitative MRI. The work has been drawn from small animal imaging, contrast agent development, novel sequences and applications to non-invasive follow-up in the clinical situation. The techniques aim to help in the move towards non-invasive and quantitative clinical diagnosis and monitoring.

description: Persulphates, an advanced oxidation process, has been recently used as an alternative pretreatment method to enhance short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) yield from waste-activated sludge (WAS) anaerobic fermentation (AF). But so far, the effects of peroxydisulphate (PDS) dosages on mesophilic anaerobic fermentation are still not studied fully. Herein, we explored the influences of potassium PDS addition on mesophilic AF of WAS. Notably, the addition of PDS could drastically accelerate WAS solubilization and hydrolysis, which was proportional to the amount of PDS. The maximal total SCFAs yield of 249.14 mg chemical oxygen demand/L was obtained with 120 mg PDS/g suspended solids addition at 6 days of AF, which was 2.2-fold that of the control one. Tightly bound extracellular polymeric substances (EPSs) were transformed into loosely bound EPS and dissolved organic matters, and aromatic proteins and humic-like substances of EPSs were disintegrated, which were caused by the devastating effects of PDS treatments on EPSs disruption. The intracellular constituents of microbial cells in the sludge were released accordingly. As a result, there was release of soluble substrates derived from the disintegration of both EPSs and cells, the amounts of which were proportional to the dose of PDS. Moreover, microbial diversity and richness were both decreased in the presence of PDS, and the relative abundance of phyla Actinobacteria increased with the increase of the PDS dosage. In addition, the stability of sludge flocs was destroyed in the presence of PDS, the distribution of particle size tended to be small and dispersive, and dewaterability of the sludge was deteriorated.

description: The influence of volatilization from mainstream tobacco smoke particles in annular denuders on the gas-particle distribution was investigated by using multiple annular denuders coupled with a filter pack method (multiple-AD-FP method) under low flow volume conditions (1.05 and 1.65 L/min). Smoking experiments and model experiments using poly styrene latex (PSL) particles and generated gases were conducted to measure the particle loss ratio and gas collection efficiency in the denuders. In this research, we focused on the influence of XAD-4 slurry concentrations and particle volatility including tobacco smoke from a cigarette and vapor products on the volatilization from particles in the denuders, and have proposed a measurement method for considering volatilization. Our experimental results showed that volatilization depends on the particle volatility, targeted components, denuder length, particle concentration, and adsorbent amount, thereby suggesting the importance of selecting the proper measurement conditions and taking volatilization into account, so as to evaluate the appropriate gas-particle distribution. The gas-phase nicotine ratio obtained from calculating the volatilization rate in the multiple-AD-FP method agreed with previous research. This means that the calculation method was appropriate for the evaluation of gas-particle distribution. Furthermore, the gas-particle ratio determined through the multiple-AD-FP method was compared to that determined through a filter-impinger method that uses a glass fiber filter. The results revealed that most of the gases in the filter-impinger method were not collected in the impinger due to the condensation of gases on the surface of the filter fibers and collected particles. © 2017 American Association for Aerosol Research
