description: Physiotherapy education in Europe must incorporate self-study units in the curriculum due to the bologna reform. Studies investigating the impact of guided self-study (G-SS) on knowledge and skills in pre-clinical Swiss physiotherapy students are scarce. This study protocol describes a prospective randomized feasibility education study that will primarily examine the feasibility of establishing G-SS using retired physiotherapists as tutors in undergraduate physiotherapy students at the Bern University of Applied Sciences, School of Health Professions. Secondary objective will be to evaluate the effectiveness of six G-SS cycles with retired physiotherapists as tutors on knowledge and skills of pre-clinical undergraduate physiotherapy students. Students of the physiotherapy degree course will be allocated into a G-SS group or control group (CG). G-SS consists of an 8-day cycle. Feasibility outcome are the fidelity of implementation that include exposure dosage and students' responsiveness, and the degree of acceptability. Success criteria of feasibility are (1) exposure dosage calculated as the number of 90-min presentations that are conducted, and the content of cases and competences and (2) students' responsiveness, with at least a 83% willingness to participate. Acceptability of intervention from the undergraduate students' perspective will be evaluated by a questionnaire with open, semi-structured questions (post intervention). This study will provide new information regarding the feasibility of embedding G-SS in the curriculum and about the students' responsiveness and their acceptability for G-SS.

description: The aim of this pilot study was to evaluate the feasibility and the effect size of a four-week stochastic resonance whole body vibration (SR-WBV) intervention on functional performance and strength in frail elderly individuals. Twenty-seven participants have been recruited and randomly distributed in an intervention group (IG) and a sham group (SG). Primary outcomes were feasibility objectives like recruitment, compliance and safety. Secondary outcomes were short physical performance battery (SPPB), isometric maximum voluntary contraction (IMVC) and isometric rate of force development (IRFD). The intervention was feasible and safe. Furthermore it showed significant effects (p = 0.035) and medium effect size (0.43) within the IG in SPPB. SR-WBV training over four weeks with frail elderly individuals is a safe intervention method. The compliance was good and SR-WBV intervention seems to improve functional performance. Further research over a longer time frame for the strength measurements (IMVC and IRFD) is needed to detect potential intervention effects in the force measurements as well.

description: Disease symptoms in T0 transgenic plants over-expressing OsWAK91 or OsWAK112d. Unique rice T0 plants over-expressing OsWAK91 (A, B, C; 5 lines starting with “OE”) or OsWAK112d (D, E, F; 6 lines starting with “OX”) were produced. Plants transformed with the empty vector are also shown (A; 4 lines starting with “EV”). The transgene expression level was normalized using Actin and is expressed as Arbitrary Unit (A, C). The values presented are unique values since each represents a unique T0 plant. Given the extremely low expression levels and thus variability in empty vectors, the very high values in over-expressor lines was considered as significant. Plants were inoculated with the virulent isolate FR13 of Magnaporthe oryzae and lesion number was quantified 7 dpi (B, E). Examples of symptoms are also shown (C, F). The experiments in panels A/B and C/D have not been conducted at the same time but in two separate experiments. The difference between empty vectors can thus be attributed to differences in the inoculum pressure (higher in the case of A/B). (PDF 2113 kb)

description: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the wrist-worn device Mio FUSE, which estimates heart rate (HR) based on photo-plethysmography, 1) in a large study group during a standardised activity, 2) in a small group during a variety of activities and 3) to investigate factors affecting HR accuracy in a real-world setting. First, 53 male participants (20 ±1 years; 1.79 ±0.07 m; 76.1 ±10.5 kg) completed a 35-km march wearing the Equivital EQ-02 as a criterion measure. Second, 5 participants (whereof 3 female; 29 ±5 years; 1.74 ±0.07 m; 67.8 ±11.1 kg) independently performed 25 activities, categorised as sitting passive, sitting active, standing, cyclic and anti-cyclic activities with the Polar H7 as a criterion device. Equivalence testing and Bland-and-Altman analyses were undertaken to assess the accuracy to the criterion devices. Third, confounders affecting HR accuracy were investigated using multiple backwards regression analyses. The Mio FUSE was equivalent to the respective criterion measures with only small systematic biases of -3.5 bpm (-2.6%) and -1.7 bpm (-1.3%) with limits of agreements of ±10.1 bpm and ±10.8 bpm during the 35-km march and during different activities, respectively. Confounding factors negatively affecting the accuracy of the Mio FUSE were found to include larger wrist size and intensified arm and/or wrist movement. The wrist-worn Mio FUSE can be recommended to estimate overall HR accurately for different types of activities in healthy adults. However, during sporting activities involving intensified arm and/or wrist movement or for detailed continuous analysis, a chest strap is preferred to the Mio FUSE to optimise HR estimation accuracy.

New Public Management and the Change of Forest Institutions
Creators: name: Kissling-Näf, Ingrid

Year: 2000

description: The forestry sector, public forest policy and forest administration in many countries are currently involved in a process of change. Public budget crises, inefficient and obsolete administrative structures, changes in social requirements with respect to forests and low timber prices have all given rise to persistent requests for fundamental administrative reform in the forestry sector. New Public Management (NPM) has been gaining acceptance as the most common concept in this context. Originally developed in New Zealand, this concept has been the inspiration behind widespread reform in all kinds of countries in East Asia, North America and Europe. We would like to present reforms implemented by forest authorities in Germany and Switzerland as examples of such authorities which have already gained experience with elements of New Public Management.
title: Royal Dutch Shell and the Venezuelan State in the 20th century

description: Diese Arbeit untersucht das Zusammenspiel staatlicher und privater Macht in der Rohstoffindustrie, die wohl die Grundlage für die globale politische Ökonomie des 20. Jahrhunderts bildet: Öl. Durch eine Analyse der sich gegenseitig bedingenden, kooperativen und widersprüchlichen Beziehung zwischen der Royal Dutch Shell Group und dem venezolanischen Staat im Laufe des 20. Jahrhunderts untersucht sie die Entwicklung des venezolanischen Ölsektors von die ersten Konzessionsvergaben bis zu seiner Konsolidierung als globale Kraft und der Verstaatlichung im Jahr 1976. Wie wurde in jeder Phase der Entwicklung der Industrie Wert geschaffen und zwischen Shell und dem venezolanischen Staat aufgeteilt, wie wurde er angefochten und in welcher Weise hat er sich verschoben? Anhand einer Vielzahl von Primärquellen aus nationalen und Unternehmensarchiven zeichnet diese Arbeit die nationalen und globalen Konturen dieser Fragen nach.
description: This thesis explores the interplay of state and private power in the commodity industry which is arguably most foundational to the global political economy of the twentieth century: oil. Through an analysis of the mutually-constituting, cooperating, and conflicting relationship of the Royal Dutch Shell Group and the Venezuelan state over the course of the 20th century, it examines the development of Venezuela’s oil sector from initial concession grants to its consolidation as a global force and 1976 nationalization. Across each period of the industry’s development, how was value created and shared between Shell and the Venezuelan state, how was it contested, and in what ways did it shift? Using a variety of primary sources from national and company archives, this thesis traces the domestic and global contours of these questions.
Quantifying the effect of forests on frequency and intensity of rockfalls
Creators: name: Moos, Christine

description: Forests serve as a natural means of protection against small rockfalls. Due to their barrier effect, they reduce the intensity and the propagation probability of falling rocks and thus reduce the occurrence frequency of a rockfall event for a given element at risk. However, despite established knowledge on the protective effect of forests, they are generally neglected in quantitative rockfall risk analyses. Their inclusion in quantitative rockfall risk assessment would, however, be necessary to express their efficiency in monetary terms and to allow comparison of forests with other protective measures, such as nets and dams. The goal of this study is to quantify the effect of forests on the occurrence frequency and intensity of rockfalls. We therefore defined an onset frequency of blocks based on a power-law magnitude–frequency distribution and determined their propagation probabilities on a virtual slope based on rockfall simulations. Simulations were run for different forest and non-forest scenarios under varying forest stand and terrain conditions. We analysed rockfall frequencies and intensities at five different distances from the release area. Based on two multivariate statistical prediction models, we investigated which of the terrain and forest characteristics predominantly drive the role of forest in reducing rockfall occurrence frequency and intensity and whether they are able to predict the effect of forest on rockfall risk. The rockfall occurrence frequency below forested slopes is reduced between approximately 10 and 90 % compared to non-forested slope conditions; whereas rockfall intensity is reduced by 10 to 70 %. This reduction increases with increasing slope length and decreases with decreasing tree density, tree diameter and increasing rock volume, as well as in cases of clustered or gappy forest structures. The statistical prediction models reveal that the cumulative basal area of trees, block volume and horizontal forest structure represent key variables for the prediction of the protective effect of forests. In order to validate these results, models have to be tested on real slopes with a wide variation of terrain and forest conditions.

description: Continuous operation is often chosen for conceptual designs of biological processing of cellulosic biomass to ethanol to achieve higher volumetric productivities. Furthermore, continuous stirred tank reactors (CSTR) can handle higher solids concentrations than possible in batch mode due to broth thinning at partial conversion in a continuous fermentor. However, experience and literature data are very limited for continuous simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (cSSF) processes. In this work, a slurry feed system was developed and applied to a 3-stage bench-scale cSSF train to convert pretreated corn stover to ethanol and determine the effects of dilution rate and number of fermentation vessels on overall volumetric productivity. The highest productivity of 0.4 g L−1 h−1 was achieved in a single cSSF vessel with an 8 h residence time. Furthermore, productivity at identical total residence times was 12% higher for operation with 3 cSSF stages than for a single CSTR stage for pretreated corn stover.

description: Untreated wood facades often show discoloration after a certain life time. In this study various untreated wood facades were cleaned by high pressure water spray with different parameters. The color of the facade was determined in the CIE L*, a*, b* system and small samples were taken on the surface for electronic microscopy analysis before and after each treatment step. The results show that it is possible, with adjusted parameters and without the pre-treatment with detergents, to obtain a good color homogenization on the facade. Grayed facades become considerably brighter and get back a yellow-red tone. The achieved color is often slightly different from the original color. Inhomogeneous south-facades become more homogenous and their strong red coloration gets reduced. The microscopy investigations show that after the treatment almost all spores, fibers residues and dust particles are removed. The compounds of the middle-lamella have been washed off; cleaned fibers remain on the surface. This leads to a slight woolly surface effect. In future work the durability of this technique will be investigated.

description: This paper introduces a titanium-based planar ultrasonic microscalpel. The concept of silicon-based planar ul­trasonic transducers has already been proven, but they are not yet suitable for clinical use due to material failure. The main objective of this work was to develop a smaller, lighter, and more cost-effective ultrasonic scalpel that could be used as an alternative or supplementary device to current surgical instruments. Various prototypes were fabricated and characterized, differing in bonding by three epoxy adhesives and two solder pastes as well as three variations in tip design. The instruments were designed to operate in the frequency range of commercial in­ struments and to generate a longitudinal displacement amplitude. The electro-mechanical characterization through impedance analysis and vibration measurements was complemented by an in vitro cutting trial and an acute in vivo animal experiment in comparison to commercial ultrasonic and electrosurgical devices. The operating frequency was around 40 kHz and 48 kHz depending on whether matched or unmatched operation was used. Unmatched operation turned out to be more suitable, achieving displacement amplitudes of 25.3 μm and associated velocity amplitudes of up to 7.9 m/s at an electrical power of 10.2 W. The cutting ability was demonstrated in vivo by successful dissection even under anticoagulation. The geometry of the instrument tip was found to have a major influence on cutting performance by affecting the resonance behaviour and tissue penetration.

description: In conversation with Hanna Hölling, archaeologist Shadreck Chirikure discusses the continuity of cultural traditions through the sustained performance of heritage. For Chirikure, the continuity of intangible heritage is secured through its active use – even if this use means constant change and adaptation by new generations: “Continuity,” he argues, “enables change.” Uniting various indigenous as well as academic perspectives in his own work, Chirikure believes that including multiple standpoints in archaeological research and heritage projects will lead to the best outcomes.

description: Since industrial suited ps laser systems are available, the cold ablation with ultrashort laser pulses is of huge interest when high requirements concerning accuracy, surface roughness and heat affected zone are demanded. Interesting applications lie within the fields of surface and 3-d structuring of metals, semiconductors (especially flexible solar cells) and dielectric materials with direct and induced processes. For a profitable industrial use of this technology high process efficiency is required which is confirmed by the development of the corresponding systems towards high average powers up to several 10 W. Beside the pulse duration, which is given by the laser system, the user has a wide variety of parameters, e.g. fluence, repetition rate, wavelength and marking speed, to optimize structuring processes. For a given average power there exist optimal laser parameters to achieve a maximal volume ablation rate. To take benefit of this maximum ablation rate, to simultaneously prevent harmful effects (particle shielding, surface melting) and to achieve the requirements concerning surface quality and accuracy, adapted structuring strategies have to be used. This can lead to equipment needs of the beam guiding system which are often not accomplishable and therefore to the demand for new technologies which have to be developed.

description: Periods of unfavorable storing conditions can lead to changes in the quality of fish feeds, as well as the development of relevant mycotoxins. In the present study, a commercial fish feed was stored under defined conditions for four weeks. The main findings indicate that even storing fish feeds under unsuitable conditions for a short duration leads to a deterioration in quality. Mycotoxin and fungal contamination were subsequently analyzed. These investigations confirmed that different storage conditions can influence the presence of fungi and mycotoxins on fish feed. Notably, ochratoxin A (OTA) was found in samples after warm (25 °C) and humid (>60% relative humidity) treatment. This confirms the importance of this compound as a typical contaminant of fish feed and reveals how fast this mycotoxin can be formed in fish feed during storage.

description: This research study was conducted at the Gulf Petrochemical Industries Company (GPIC) in the Kingdom of Bahrain, with the primary objective of reducing equipment maintenance costs in the Urea and Utilities plants. As a prominent player in the international petrochemical market, GPIC is involved in the manufacturing of ammonia, methanol, and urea. The maintenance department at GPIC plays a crucial role in ensuring the smooth operation and efficient maintenance of their extensive range of plants.To attain the research objective, GPIC's maintenance data was analyzed, with a focus on identifying the plants with the greatest maintenance costs. The plants were the Urea and Utilities plants. These maintenance costs were further classified as Preventive Maintenance (PM) and Corrective Maintenance (CM). The goal of this project was to examine deeper into the existing data and design and recommend an improved maintenance approach for CM and PM in both plant areas.The methodology employed in this study involved a thorough analysis of the data, incorporating root cause analysis, with the aim of formulating effective countermeasures conducive to GPIC's objectives. The findings of this project advocate the adoption of a Predictive Condition-based Maintenance (CBM) model, anticipated to yield a 10% reduction in total maintenance costs and extend the lifespan on equipment. Furthermore, three Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) have been suggested as a result of this research: Maintenance Budget Variance, Emergency Maintenance Frequency, and Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF).
