description: This paper presents an original methodology for the construction of a harmonized database for urban areas in the United States from 1790 to 2010 (a period with a census every 10 years, amounting to 23 dates). Upstream, this method is based on a theoretical choice, the use of a spatio-temporal reference frame to construct urban areas over the long term, defined by a maximum range of one hour’s travel for each period. We used an automatic aggregation from a Reilly model. Urban measures (growth, concentration) derived from this harmonized database are then presented, providing a unified picture of urbanization in the United States over more than two centuries. They are compared with results derived from more classical databases established using the official figures from the Census Bureau, or from other constructions differing from the present system. The results diverge considerably in some instances, which confirms the impact of the method of delineation of geographical areas in measures of growth.

description: A new indole alkaloid strychnosinol (1) and a new phenolic-glycoside (2) were isolated from the bark and leaves of Strychnos fendleri Sprague & Sandwith, together with six known compounds reported for the first time in this species. The structures of these compounds were determined on the basis of spectroscopic data; mainly those obtained by using 1H and 13C NMR (1D and 2D) and mass spectrometry. Strychnosinol (1) and the phenolic glycoside (2) together with compounds 3–8 were evaluated for cytotoxicity against a panel of five tumour cell lines; IC50 values between 0.090 and 0.227 μM for the human tumour cell lines were observed for compound 2.
title: An investigation on energy-efficient housing of past and their compliance to current standards

description: The building sector consumes 38.7% of total energy within the EU, and is therefore a major contributor to greenhouse gases emissions that cause climate change. Buildings should not just prioritize energy efficiency; they should also be able to adapt to increasing temperatures caused by global warming. The case of BedZED, a widely acclaimed energy efficient housing scheme of yesteryear was studied. BedZED was tested and studied in today's climate and in future climate scenarios. Retrofit strategies were tested using dynamic simulation to investigate upgrading the homes to modern energy efficiency standards. The results indicated overheating issues and the potential need for energy intensive mechanical cooling. Interventions were proposed and tested with a reduction of 40% of internal temperatures over the base-case was achieved. The findings reveal the need to design homes today that are resilient to future climate conditions.

description: 2019 wurde im Zentrum der deutschen Hauptstadt das rekonstruierte Berliner Stadtschloss fertiggestellt. Es wird künftig unter dem Namen Humboldt Forum auch eine bedeutende ethnografische Ausstellung beheimaten. Rund um dieses Großprojekt ist eine Debatte entstanden, die Fragen nach der generellen Aufgabe ethnografischer Museumsschauen im 21. Jahrhundert aufwirft. Getrieben von der öffentlichen Aufmerksamkeit reagierte die ethnologische Museumslandschaft in Deutschland in den vergangenen Jahren insbesondere mit der Anpassung und Neugestaltung der Afrika-Ausstellungen in verschiedenen Häusern. Dies zeugt von der Bedeutung Afrikas für den wissenschaftlichen und öffentlichen Umgang mit dem fremden Anderen generell. Unter anderen Vorzeichen ist diese Thematik auch in südafrikanischen Museen präsent. Dort geht es vor allem darum, eine Aktualisierung ethnografischer Ausstellungen vorzunehmen, die es zulässt, das problematische Erbe von Kolonialismus und Apartheid ernst zu nehmen und die Museen dennoch als Institutionen in das neue Narrativ der Rainbow Nation einzufügen. Gemeinsam ist den Bemühungen der ethnologisch ausgerichteten Museen in Deutschland und Südafrika mithin das Ziel, eine angemessene Repräsentation indigener afrikanischer Kulturen in der globalisierten Welt des 21. Jahrhunderts zu entwerfen und dabei zugleich den Blick auf vergangene und gegenwärtige Machtkonstellationen zu richten.
Kin and Gifts: Understanding the Kin-based Politics of Solomon Islands - The Case of East AreAre
Creators: name: Hiriasia, Tony
Publisher: name: Canberra, ACT: Coral Bell School of Asia Pacific Affairs, College of Asia and the Pacific, The Australian National University
Year: 2016

description: Despite the claim that money and especially Rural Constituency Development Fund (RCDF) disbursement have played a major role in influencing political choices in the Solomon Islands national parliamentary elections (Commonwealth Secretariat 2014:3, 5; Cox 2015; Hague 2012; Haley and Zubrinich 2015; Morgan 2005:4; Wood 2014a), empirical evidence and election data suggest that political alliances in some rural constituencies are based more on kin relationship rather than gift exchanges and RCDF disbursements. Although gifting has attracted a lot of attention in the discussions about politics and elections in the Solomon Islands, it is kin relationship (more than anything else) that forms the basis for political alliances in the constituency politics. In the rural areas where social organisation is kin-based and institutions like the extended family or clan still play an important role in the lives of individuals, it is the social and biological bond between members and their loyalty to these institutions that set the foundation for collective political action and allegiance.
Solomon Islands Is Unprepared to Manage a Minerals-Based Economy

description: Now that Solomon Islanders' forests have been depleted (Allen 2011; Bennett 2000) its mineral resources are being seen as a potential base for the economic development of the nation. However, in assessing this prospect from a national economic perspective Haque (2013) comes to the sobering conclusion that ‘even if potential mining investment was to be fully realised, favourable economic outcomes for Solomon Islands are far from assured.

description: In the scientific community, there is a growing interest in Tamarindus indica L. leaves, both as a valuable nutrient and as a functional food. This paper focuses on exploring its safety and antioxidant properties. A tamarind leaf fluid extract (TFE) wholly characterised was evaluated for its anti-DPPH activity (IC50 = 44.36 μg/mL) and its reducing power activity (IC50 = 60.87 μg/mL). TFE also exhibited a high ferrous ion-chelating capacity, with an estimated binding constant of 1.085 mol L− 1 while its influence over nitric oxide production in human leucocytes was irregular. At low concentrations, TFE stimulated NO output, but it significantly inhibited it when there was an increase in concentration. TFE was also classified as a non-toxic substance in two toxicity tests: the acute oral toxicity test and the oral mucous irritability test. Further toxicological assays are needed, although results so far suggest that TFE might become a functional dietary supplement.

description: This Discussion Paper looks at the shifting media landscapes in four Melanesian countries in 2015 — Fiji, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands and Vanuatu. It charts and links the key developments, and considers their potentially wide-ranging impacts on policy, politics, free speech and good governance. Of the many profound and rapid changes experienced in 2015, some of the most significant can be linked to the growing use and influence of social media. This is discernable from internet statistics, research reports, media advocacy group statements, news items and the reaction of governments (see Internet World Stats 2015; International Federation of Journalists 2015; Pacific Freedom Forum 11/4/2015; Radio New Zealand International 16/10/2015; Reporters Without Borders 2015; Shing 4/7/2015; Tahana 21/1/2015; Tarai et al. 2015; The National 27/3/2015; UNESCO 2015; Wood 22/1/2015).

description: The creation of two new provinces, Hela and Jiwaka, in 2012 will be remembered as a great event in the political history of Papua New Guinea. However, like all great events it had many false starts and some near fatal collisions. The period from 2010 to 2012 held exciting times for Papua New Guinea. There was an unprecedented political impasse between Sir Michael Somare and Hon Peter O’Neill, attempts were made to remove provincial electorates and Exxon Mobil was preparing to invest heavily in a gas pipeline and processing plant. This discussion paper will attempt to provide some insight into some of these events and consider why after 36 years the dreams of the Hela and Jiwaka people were finally fulfilled.

description: Ce mémoire traite de l’impact de la manipulation d’objets sur la résolution de problèmes additifs chez les élèves. Nous voulions voir si la manipulation a une influence sur l’apprentissage des élèves. Pour cela, nous avons choisi la résolution de problèmes additifs chez les élèves de 2H. Certains élèves ont de la difficulté à se représenter un problème, d’autant plus qu’ils n’ont aucun support car ils écoutent le problème dicté par l’enseignante. Il est important de permettre à tous les élèves d’entrer dans les apprentissages, c’est pourquoi, nous avons décidé de fabriquer notre propre matériel : une boite à problèmes additifs afin de voir si celle-ci peut aider à la représentation. Cela permet à l’élève de manipuler du matériel pour les aider à sortir de l’abstraction. Pour cette recherche, nous avons proposé plusieurs problèmes additifs de deux types différents : les compositions d’états (EEE) et les transformations d’états (ETE). Nous avons observé les élèves en train de résoudre des problèmes additifs avec ou sans matériel. Nous avons pu constater que la manipulation a bel et bien un impact positif sur la résolution de problèmes additifs. Les élèves passent d’un énoncé oral abstrait à une représentation plus concrète du problème grâce au matériel. Il est important de mettre en évidence que ce n’est pas la boite à problèmes additifs en elle-même qui a permis cet impact positif sur la résolution de problèmes mais l’utilisation de matériel en général. Ce mémoire a démontré qu’il est possible d’aborder ce sujet dans les petits degrés et il encourage les enseignants des degrés 1-2H à travailler la résolution de problèmes additifs. De plus, il a montré que la manipulation permet aux élèves de sortir de l’abstraction d’un énoncé de problèmes en se le représentant.

description: In September 2011, the author was one of two Federal Court of Australia judges appointed to the Supreme and National Courts of Papua New Guinea (PNG) to sit on civil and commercial appeals. The article provides a personal account of the author’s first year as a member of the PNG judiciary. This was an eventful and tumultuous year which saw the PNG Supreme Court order that the Hon. Sir Michael Somare be restored to the office of prime minister; simmering political tensions which followed that decision; the arrest of the Chief Justice, Sir Salamo Injia; a permanent stay of criminal proceedings against the Chief Justice; the enactment of the Judicial Conduct Act 2012 (PNG), which undermined the independence of the judiciary, and subsequent challenge to the validity of that Act; a further sedition charge being laid against the Chief Justice; and a national election. The author explores the impact of these events on the PNG judiciary. He also discusses options relating to the proposed establishment of a permanent Court of Appeal and an ultimate appellate court for PNG .

description: This paper provides a high-level but comprehensive review of the status, as of mid-2016,1 of the artisanal and small-scale (ASM, or sometimes AASM) industry in post-conflict Bougainville, drawing on extensive fieldwork conducted during 2014–16.2 It focuses on the location of ASM activity and the modes and methods of production being used, the identity of miners, and the nature of their participation in ASM. It outlines preliminary findings regarding the way in which access is gained to land used in ASM. It then considers key issues raised by ASM under three broad headings: the economic rewards it generates; the environmental, social, cultural and safety risks associated with ASM; and informal and formal efforts at regulation of ASM activity.

description: This Discussion Paper provides an account of the rise and fall of chiefly leadership and the apparent ebbing of a longstanding ideology of traditionalism among indigenous Fijians in the context of national politics and of the claims made in the name of indigenous nationalism. It begins with abrief survey of Fiji's colonisation in the late nineteenth century; the establishment of the GCC and the role of chiefs in the British colonial regime;and their domination of national politics, despite some challenges, up until 1987. The second section reviews the political dynamics surrounding chiefly leadership from 1987 until the Bainimarama-led coup of 2006. The final sections examine the nature of chiefly involvement in national politics in the lead-up to the 2014 elections and prospects for the future of traditional chiefly political leadership.

description: It is now 10 years since the publication of Chega! (the final report of the Commission for Reception, Truth and Reconciliation, known by its Portuguese acronym, ‘CAVR’). The CAVR was tasked with documenting human rights violations committed throughout Timor-Leste’s 24-year-long armed conflict and making recommendations on how to address the negative impact of the conflict, including measures to prevent its recurrence. This report presents the key findings of a project that assesses some dimensions of Chega!’s impact in Timor-Leste.1 The project consisted of two components. The first component examined how ‘key actors’ — defined as prominent figures in the government, parliament, education sector, Catholic Church, media and civil society organisations — perceive and utilise Chega! The second component assessed different programs designed to disseminate and ‘socialise’ Chega! amongst Timorese. The methodology involved a desk review of publicly available speeches and documents, interviews with 28 key actors, interviews with students exposed to Chega!-socialisation programs and an analysis of students’ written responses to such programs.

description: Colon cancer is one of the major causes of cancer mortality worldwide. Hydroalcoholic extract of ginger peel extract was more potent against colon cancer cells than ginger pulp hydroalcoholic extract using MTT assay, while ginger pulp hydroalcoholic extract showed higher anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities. The two samples of ginger showed a different polyphenolic content and lipophilic composition. Peel extract possessed twice the polyphenolic content than pulp and the highest number of non-polar compounds. Among them, α-zingibirene was found to be the major constituent. The findings add to epidemiologic evidence for therapeutic effects of ginger peel in colorectal carcinoma.

Year: 2017

description: This paper draws on research undertaken in 2015 among coffee smallholders in Eastern Highlands Province of Papua New Guinea (PNG), focusing specifically on some of the challenges faced by women coffee farmers in accessing financial services. Considering the importance given to financial inclusion in women’s economic empowerment programming by donors and other development practitioners, this research highlights that attention is needed to increase women’s literacy and numeracy. However, other factors play an important part, such as local gender norms which constrain women’s decision-making and movements.

Papua New Guinea under the O’Neill Government: Has There Been a Shift in Political Style?
Creators: name: May, R.J.
Publisher: name: Canberra, ACT: Dept. of Pacific Affairs, Coral Bell School of Asia Pacific Affairs, The Australian National University
Year: 2017

description: In 2011–12 Papua New Guinea suffered its most serious constitutional crisis since independence, when the incumbent prime minister, Grand Chief Sir Michael Somare, was effectively removed from office in a ‘political coup’ by members of parliament whose actions were subsequently ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. The political impasse of this period, in which two people laid claim to the office of prime minister, was finally resolved in mid-2012 following a scheduled national election. But it is arguable that the damage done in 2011 to the institutions of Papua New Guinea’s democratic system was not entirely undone in 2012 and that political developments since 2012 give some cause for concern. This paper briefly recounts the events of 2011–12 and looks at political developments under the O’Neill government which came to power following the 2012 election.

Year: 2017

description: Pacific Islander (PI) communities are underrepresented in US higher education, and hold bachelor’s degrees at rates lower than the national rate (US Census 2012). Empowering Pacific Island Communities (EPIC and Asian Americans Advancing Justice 2014) reported that Guamanians (13%), Samoans (11%), Tongans (11%), Fijians (10%), and Micronesians (4%) all hold bachelor’s degrees at less than half the rate of the national population of the United States (28%). As college tuitions continue to rise (Mumper and Freeman 2005; Schoen 2015), and meritocratic aid (Perna and Titus 2004) replaces need-based aid, there is the possibility that PI participation in higher education may be hampered even further. This research on ‘college choice’ for PIs entering college athletics is an attempt to study alternative pathways to higher education. This research should inform policymakers, staff, faculty and administrators about the goals and expectations that PI student-athletes bring with them to college, in order to better serve and support this population.

The Deliverable of the Component sizing Tool is an online Component Sizing Tool, with an additional report explaining the calculations and simulations in the background. The simulation model and the online tool, however, remain the intellectual property of Austrian Institute of Technology (AIT), the code itself will not be made public. The component sizing tool for technical and economic optimization within the HYPERRIDE project is lead by AIT who is responsible for the tool development and implementation, in collaboration with additional partners EMOTION and ASM, whos role are to provide the neccessary profile data for the simulations. The component sizing tool for economic optimisation will provide a technical and economic base for finding the optimal component size solution for three different use cases within the HYPERRIDE project. The first use case is as an addition to the Grid Planning Tool for the development of Hybrid ACDC microgrids, for the simplified simulation of battery storages within Hybrid ACDC micro grids. Secondly, the tool will be used for simulations in the Italian pilot as EMOTION and ASM are the main contributors. Therefore, input data from the partners will be pre-implemented into the online tool to simplify the tool usage. As a third use case, the tool will be used to generate input parameters for creating business models, regulatory assessment and identify consumers. The online Component Sizing Tool is currently available under http://sizing-tool.hyperride.eu (Username: HYPERRIDE, password: Component-sizing-Tool).

Mais qu’est-ce que « bien parler » signifie ? Au-delà de phrases grammaticalement correctes, communiquer à l’oral s’apprend à travers un travail qui se partage entre celui de la voix et du corps. La pratique théâtrale stimule l’apprentissage de ces deux pôles de manière équilibrée. Des jeux théâtraux permettent de travailler l’écoute, d’apprendre à contrôler le volume de sa voix, l’intonation et la respiration, mais aussi tous les aspects liés à la corporalité : la gestion de l’espace, la posture, la gestuelle, l’adresse et le regard. Pour notre mémoire nous avons décidé de développer une ingénierie didactique qui intègre une série de six ateliers-théâtre. Nous avons choisi comme fil conducteur de travailler sur les émotions et utilisé comme support l’album La couleur des émotions de Anna Llenas. Le but de notre travail est d’analyser les effets de la mise en oeuvre de ces ateliers sur l’apprentissage de la communication orale pour des élèves de 2e HarmoS. Nous avons mesuré leurs capacités à l’aide d’une grille nous permettant de contraster les productions initiales et finales d’un texte qui raconte. Les résultats obtenus argumentent en faveur de l’usage de l’outil du théâtre d’improvisation au premier cycle du primaire.

description: De nombreuses recherches ont prouvé que de bonnes facultés en conscience phonologique sont un atout pour l’entrée dans la lecture et l’écriture chez de jeunes apprenant-e-s. « La conscience phonologique facilite la découverte du principe alphabétique, lequel, à son tour, permet l’identification de mots nouveaux » (Giasson, 2012). Il nous a cependant semblé que, sur le terrain, l’importance de la métaphonologie n’était pas reconnue à sa juste valeur. De ce fait, certain-e-s élèves ne bénéficient pas d’un entrainement assez poussé dans ce domaine, ce qui pourrait prétériter leur entrée dans le monde de l’écrit. L’objectif de ce mémoire est de vérifier si un enseignement explicite et régulier de la conscience phonologique augmente les performances métaphonologiques des élèves de 2H. Par performances métaphonologiques, nous entendons les capacités des élèves à manipuler et identifier les différentes unités linguistiques que sont les syllabes, les attaques, les rimes et les phonèmes. Ainsi, nous avons construit deux séquences, l’une avec le moyen d’enseignement PhonoDEL (2016), et l’autre avec Construire la conscience phonologique (2008) dans le but de répondre à cette problématique. Afin de mettre en avant les progrès des élèves, il nous a semblé pertinent d’utiliser un pré-test et un post-test. Les données récoltées montrent qu’une progression significative en conscience phonologique est présente chez les élèves entre les différents tests. Ces résultats prouvent l’importance d’un travail métaphonologique en classe, ce qui nous a amenées à établir une proposition de planification couvrant les deux premières années de l’école obligatoire. Notre travail constitue un premier pas qui pourrait bénéficier d’être approfondi par de nouvelles réflexions. Des recherches ultérieures devraient pouvoir vérifier l’impact de ce travail mené en enfantine auprès d’élèves de 3H lors de leur réelle entrée dans le monde de l’écrit.

description: This 1981 was one of the earliest and most comprehensive to examine this complex issue. It did so in a setting in which the baby food industry was attempting to show that working, not their advertising, was the cause of the decline in breastfeeding and that their products were going to become increasingly important as more mothers went to work. It provides data showing that the reality, especially in low-income countries, is not so clear.

This paper examined the determinants of vitamin A deficiency, a moderate public health problem in China. In contrast to other countries, younger infants are more at risk than toddlers, probably because levels of supplemental feeding are higher, especially with foods low in vitamin A such as sweetened condensed milk.
Comparison of active stand and head-up tilt table testing for the diagnosis of orthostatic intolerance syndromes
Creators: name: Bentley, Gisele Juliette
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2024
Subjects: classificationCode: 320101
subject: Cardiology (incl. cardiovascular diseases)

description: Background: Orthostatic intolerance (OI) causes signs (e.g., elevated heart rate (HR) or reduced blood pressure (BP)) and symptoms (e.g., light-headedness) when standing, which are relieved by lying down. Testing involves measuring HR and BP during a postural challenge (head-up tilt test (HUTT)/active stand (AS)). Variability of testing outcomes is possible due to the lack of testing guidelines and physiological differences between tests. The aim of this thesis was to determine if there is variation between AS and HUTT in the context of OI testing. 
Methods: This thesis used various methods to compare AS to HUTT, including a systematic literature review. We also conducted a controlled pairwise study, accounting for pre- and during-study confounders, with a healthy population (n = 12; 23 ± 7 years; 75% female). Cardiovascular responses were measured using continuous and intermittent monitoring (Finapress, electrocardiogram (ECG), and brachial cuff) during a 40-minute AS and HUTT. After 40-minutes, bilateral leg cuffs occluded the individuals’ lower limbs for 3 minutes, and responses were recorded after release. Additionally, a 5-minute slow HUTT (slower transition from supine to upright) was conducted. 
Results: The 10 papers included in our literature review, revealed high variability between populations, protocols, and results measured. Our controlled experiment revealed inter-test differences in maximum HR (p < 0.05) and minimum BP in AS compared to baseline (p < 0.001). Leg cuff occlusion release showed systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) drops (−8±6mmHg; −6±4mmHG (p < 0.0014)) and elevated HR (14±5bpm (p < 0.05)). No significant difference in the effect of HUTT transition speeds on HR or BP was observed. 
Conclusions: The literature was heterogenous leading to difficulty in comparing HUTT and AS tests. Our controlled experiment demonstrated inter-test variability in maximum HR, while the leg cuff produced HR and BP changes comparable to exogenous protocols, indicating a physiologically meaningful response. Additionally, HUTT transition speeds is not a confounder. OI testing need clear guidelines based on a rigorous comparison of techniques, which should involve both diagnosed and healthy populations. This clarity would enable quicker and more accurate diagnosis of OI.
VITAMIN A DEFICIENCY AND IRON DEFICIENCY IN CHINA: PROBLEMS, PROGRAMS, AND POLICIES Report on a consultancy for the World Bank, including field trips to Henan and Guizhou

description: This 2001 report to the World Bank covers the extent to which deficiencies of iron and vitamin A are public health problems, what policies are already in place to deal with them, what is already being done to prevent and treat them, and recommends ways of improving these approaches. In a sense, outside Beijing at least, it appeared that both problems were being treated in the opposite of the ways recommended: iron was given in large doses for a short time and vitamin A in small doses for a long period of time.

description: This was a review done in 1998 of the vitamin A supplementation program in Bangladesh run by UNICEF with partial funding from the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency, Sida. This capsule distribution program was struggling, and after over 15 years of implementation still did not achieve adequate coverage to have a public health impact. It advised that Sida shift its funding to more effective and sustainable food-based approaches. (Which Sida later did.)

description: Depuis maintenant plusieurs années, le système scolaire vaudois a subi de nombreuses modifications notamment en ce qui concerne le processus d’orientation. Ceci se confirme en 2011, lorsque celui-ci passe de l’Ecole vaudoise en Mutation (EVM) à la Loi sur l’enseignement obligatoire (LEO). Les modifications subies marquent alors un tournant décisif. En effet, dès la rentrée 2012-2013, les élèves sont orientés dans deux filières différentes : la voie prégymnasiale (VP) et la voie générale (VG) mais également dans des classes à niveaux (niveaux 1-2) en fonction du nombre de points obtenus dans chaque groupe de disciplines. Précédemment ces derniers étaient orientés dans trois filières différentes : la voie secondaire baccalauréat (VSB), la voie secondaire générale (VSG) et la voie secondaire à option (VSO) selon les notes obtenues durant l’année. Afin d’identifier les différentes modifications apportées par le nouveau système dans l’orientation scolaire, nous avons décidé de mener quatre entretiens avec des enseignants ayant enseigné sous EVM et avec la LEO. D’après les réponses obtenues, nous avons pu mettre en évidence certains changements. Non seulement le processus d’orientation subit des modifications, mais le rôle des enseignants lors des conseils de classe change également. Le rôle joué par les parents précédemment est lui aussi réduit, ce dernier n’étant plus que consultatif. Enfin, les évaluations et les épreuves cantonales de référence gagnent en importance puisque seuls les résultats obtenus sont pris en compte. Afin de mener à bien notre travail de mémoire, nous avons donc décidé de centrer notre travail sur les pratiques des enseignants, la collaboration entre les professionnels et les parents ainsi que le processus d’orientation.
