description: This paper addresses the uniform random generation of words from a context-free language (over an alphabet of size $k$), while constraining every letter to a targeted frequency of occurrence. Our approach consists in a multidimensional extension of Boltzmann samplers \cite{Duchon2004}. We show that, under mostly \emph{strong-connectivity} hypotheses, our samplers return a word of size in $[(1-\varepsilon)n, (1+\varepsilon)n]$ and exact frequency in $\mathcal{O}(n^{1+k/2})$ expected time. Moreover, if we accept tolerance intervals of width in $Ω(\sqrt{n})$ for the number of occurrences of each letters, our samplers perform an approximate-size generation of words in expected $\mathcal{O}(n)$ time. We illustrate these techniques on the generation of Tetris tessellations with uniform statistics in the different types of tetraminoes.

Dark matter : reactivating myth to visually express the existential experience of 'The Change'
Creators: name: Mendham, JF
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: My investigation is concerned with developing a visual language to express the existential transition from fertile womanhood. As Germaine Greer points out, whilst a vast array of medical material on this transition exists, we hardly ever hear the voices of women on the experience. This experience remains undescribed and invisible except for rare voices such as Simone de Beauvoir in her study The Second Sex, Doris Lessing in the literary arts, and Rosemarie Trockel in the visual arts. The strange phenomenon of invisibility of archetypal experience such as this in our contemporary language is related by Carl Jung, Mircea Eliade, Joseph Campbell, and Suzi Gablik as symptomatic of our cultural constructs that view humans as apart from nature, and perpetuates a fragmented, abstracted and rationalistic way of seeing the world. My investigation re-engages with this experience of transformation through appropriating the ancient vehicle of myth which traditionally gives form and meaning to archetypal experience, and inherently affirms connection between humans and the rest of the natural world. The mythological symbols which emerge in my art-making mostly have their origins in my Western cultural heritage and include the symbol of woman as vessel/grail, the moon, and the horn. Classical mythological figures such as Hekate are also referenced in my work. The artists who contextualise this research draw on myth, or archetypal form, generate works from the body, and/or contribute to a dialogue on feminine experience. At a more essential level they re-affirm connection with our bodies, heritage, and the world of nature including our ancient and primal selves. These artists include: Rosemarie Trockel, Kiki Smith, Antony Gormley, Louise Bourgeois, Anselm Kiefer and Bronwyn Oliver. Although much of my studio-based research has been conducted through drawings, the final works find resolution as sculptural objects. This submission presents a mythical landscape of metamorphosing object sculptures in a darkened space. Lighting is used to partially illuminate the sculptures and generate shadows that reveal other dimensions to the space and works. Each work describes something of liminal experience and is bound to the other works through repetition and variants of form, shape and pattern. This investigation contributes to the field through redressing the silencing of women's voice on the experience of transformation beyond fertile womanhood, by re-engaging with modes of thinking and expression that remain undervalued in our contemporary world, and through contributing to an emergent voice that is concerned with the connectivity of humans with the rest of nature.

description: PROJECT ABSTRACT BACKGROUND The purpose of this scoping review is to examine the effectiveness of team-based learning and problem-based learning toward the development of effective professional communication skills. These professional communication skills include providing feedback to peers, communicating to patients and preceptors, elaboration of ideas, non-verbal active listening, and engaging other team members. Interpersonal and communication skills is listed as one of the competencies for the physician assistant profession. This student development is relevant to physician assistant education and other health professions education. METHODS A systematic search will be created by a health sciences librarian using keywords and MeSH terms in PubMed. Upon approval of the initial PubMed search by the rest of the research team, the librarian will translate the search to 8 other databases. Those databases are: Embase (Elsevier), CINAHL Complete, ERIC, and PsycInfo (EBSCOHost), Web of Science Core Collection and Dissertations & Theses index (Clarivate), Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews (Wiley), Applied Social Sciences Index & Abstracts (ASSIA) via ProQuest, and Google Scholar. Google Scholar, Web of Science and Dissertations & Theses will be used to source grey literature findings. The research team will conduct hand-searching of relevant agencies and websites upon completion of screening. CONCLUSION As a result of this project, we hope to better understand the evidence regarding the effectiveness of team-based learning and problem-based learning toward the development of professional communication skills.
The targum (1979:Sep. 4 - 1979:Sep. 28)
Creators: name: No Name Supplied
Publisher: name: Targum Association
Year: 1979

description: Some University historians indicate that the Targum was first published as an annual in 1867, but of this we have no extant evidence. In January 1869, the Targum as we now know it, made its appearance as a monthly paper that concerned itself with student “literary contributions” and college news as well as serving as a vehicle for bringing news to alumni and the general public. The newspaper, which originally was for sale, varied in frequency over the years as did its title (The Targum, Rutgers Targum, Rutgers Daily Targum, and Daily Targum). The newspaper has continuously been published since 1869 with the exception of 19 months during the second world war, between February 1944 and October 1945. The Targum was published by the students of Rutgers College, and later Rutgers University—New Brunswick represented through the years as the Targum Association, Rutgers Targum Association, and Rutgers College Targum. As a student organization, the Targum operated under the oversight of the dean of students and student government but in October 1980, the Targum became an independent college paper.
Cantor Series Constructions Contrasting Two Notions of Normality

description: A. Rényi \cite{Renyi} made a definition that gives a generalization of simple normality in the context of $Q$-Cantor series. In \cite{Mance}, a definition of $Q$-normality was given that generalizes the notion of normality in the context of $Q$-Cantor series. In this work, we examine both $Q$-normality and $Q$-distribution normality, treated in \cite{Laffer} and \cite{Salat}. Specifically, while the non-equivalence of these two notions is implicit in \cite{Laffer}, in this paper, we give an explicit construction witnessing the nontrivial direction. That is, we construct a base $Q$ as well as a real $x$ that is $Q$-normal yet not $Q$-distribution normal. We next approach the topic of simultaneous normality by constructing an explicit example of a base $Q$ as well as a real $x$ that is both $Q$-normal and $Q$-distribution normal.

description: The fundamental groupoid of a locally 0 and 1-connected space classifies covering spaces, or equivalently local systems. When the space is topologically stratified Treumann, based on unpublished ideas of MacPherson, constructed an `exit category' (in the terminology of this paper, the `fundamental category') which classifies constructible sheaves, equivalently stratified etale covers. This paper generalises this construction to homotopically stratified sets, in addition showing that the fundamental category dually classifies constructible cosheaves, equivalently stratified branched covers. The more general setting has several advantages. It allows us to remove a technical `tameness' condition which appears in Treumann's work; to show that the fundamental groupoid can be recovered by inverting all morphisms and, perhaps most importantly, to reduce computations to the two stratum case. This provides an approach to computing the fundamental category in terms of homotopy groups of strata and homotopy links. We apply these techniques to compute the fundamental category of symmetric products of R^2, stratified by collisions. Two appendices explain the close relations respectively between filtered and pre-ordered spaces and between cosheaves and branched covers (technically locally-connected uniquely-complete spreads).

Airway remodelling in smokers with or without chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and the effects of inhaled corticosteroids on remodelling in COPD
Creators: name: Soltani Abhari, A
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: `Introduction:` Smoking-related COPD is a worldwide health problem. Airway remodelling is defined as structural changes occurring in chronic inflammatory diseases of the airways. Our knowledge about airway remodelling in COPD is very limited. My preliminary observational study of bronchial biopsies (BB) from COPD subjects revealed reticular basement membrane (Rbm) fragmentation and vascular changes. I hypothesised that these changes are specific for COPD and are related to the angiogenic activity of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and transforming growth factor-‚àövº (TGF-‚àövº). I also aimed to study the effects of inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) on these airway changes. `Methods:` A cross-sectional study compared BB from current smokers with COPD (SCOPD), ex-smokers with COPD (ES-COPD), current smokers with normal lung function (S-N) and healthy nonsmoking (H-N) subjects. BB were stained with anti-Collagen IV, anti-VEGF and anti-TGF- ‚àövº antibodies. Rbm fragmentation and vessels in the Rbm and lamina propria (LP) were measured. Anti-Factor VIII antibody was compared with anti-Collagen IV antibody in detecting vessels. Then a double-blind, randomized and placebo controlled study assessed the effects of ICS on airway remodeling, VEGF and TGF- ‚àövº in COPD. \\(Results:\\) Airway remodelling changes were also detectable in S-N. The Rbm was fragmented. The length of splits was significantly greater in both COPD groups and in S-N than controls (p<0.02). The Rbm was hypervascular and the LP hypovascular in current smokers compared with controls (p<0.05). Vessels stained for VEGF and TGF-‚àövº were increased in the Rbm of both COPD groups and S-N (p<0.05). Factor VIII antibody confirmed my finding of hypovascularity of the LP in S-COPD. ICS reversed Rbm splitting but did not have any effect on vessel remodelling and angiogenic activities. `Discussion:` My studies revealed novel aspects of Rbm and vascular remodelling in BB from COPD subjects and S-N and for the first time showed that ICS are effective on Rbm changes in COPD. Rbm fragmentation, we think, is probably a consequence of the effects of proteolytic enzymes on the Rbm due to activation of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) by smoking. This is under more investigation in our group. My study could not explain the mechanisms to vessel changes in current smokers. Further studies to examine the role of other angiogenic/antiangiogenic factors are now needed. Absence of vascular changes in ES-COPD subjects may imply that vascular remodelling is reversible with smoking cessation, but to test this we need a longitudinal smoking cessation study.

Subjects: subject: Indian foreign policy, domestic politics, India-China, parliamentary records

description: What is the relationship between Indian domestic politics and foreign policy? While this dynamic has been substantially studied in the western context, this subject remains underexamined in the case of India. This paper argues for understanding domestic political dynamics and its relationship with foreign policy by investigating parliamentary records. This paper examines the case study of India-China bilateral ties from 1952 to 1962 and makes use of a newly created, unique dataset of key parliamentary records. The key findings from these records include a correlation between the state of India-China ties and the nature of questions and debates being raised in the parliament, insights into intra-party views on foreign policy, highlights the role of select parliamentarians, and raises questions about the relationship between party ideology and foreign policy. This qualitative work is an initial foray into examining domestic politics and foreign policy using parliamentary data and there is greater data to be unearthed using parliamentary records.

Transport coefficients and resonances for a meson gas in Chiral Perturbation Theory

Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We present recent results on a systematic method to calculate transport coefficients for a meson gas (in particular, we analyze a pion gas) at low temperatures in the context of Chiral Perturbation Theory (ChPT). Our method is based on the study of Feynman diagrams taking into account collisions in the plasma by means of the non-zero particle width. This implies a modification of the standard ChPT power counting scheme. We discuss the importance of unitarity, which allows for an accurate high energy description of scattering amplitudes, generating dynamically the $ρ(770)$ and $f_0(600)$ mesons. Our results are compatible with analyses of kinetic theory, both in the non-relativistic very low-$T$ regime and near the transition. We show the behavior with temperature of the electrical and thermal conductivities as well as of the shear and bulk viscosities. We obtain that bulk viscosity is negligible against shear viscosity, except near the chiral phase transition where the conformal anomaly might induce larger bulk effects. Different asymptotic limits for transport coefficients, large-$N_c$ scaling and some applications to heavy-ion collisions are studied.

Double-rod vs Single rod Instrumentation for the Correction of Neuromuscular Scoliosis (NMS):cohort study
Creators: name: Saqib, Muhammad
Publisher: name: Open Science Framework
Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: Medicine and Health Sciences

description: Objectives: Dual rod segmental spinal instrumentation is the standard surgical procedure for the management of NMS. Less invasive single-rod fusion technique may be indicated to minimise operative time, blood loss and wound-related complications. The objective of this study is to evaluate and compare the outcomes of both techniques to determine their safety and efficacy. Subjects: A total of 58 patients with a predominantly neuromuscular scoliosis operated were included. 28 in the single rod group (Mean age = 16.4 (SD ± 4.0) and 30 in the double rod group (Mean age = 16.3 (SD ± 3.5). Methods: This cohort study was conducted including a minimum 2 year follow period, detailed information on the type of implant and a complete pre- and post-operative imaging and medical records. Patient baseline demographics, comorbidities, and surgical characteristics were collected. Outcomes assessed included the post-op and final follow up angles and general complications. Analyses performed for each outcome included: unadjusted comparison between groups (analysis 1), adjusted for baseline demographic factors and comorbidities (analysis 2) and analysis 2 plus additional adjustments for surgical factors. All outcome analysis was performed using a regression approach. Results: There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups for the majority of the baseline, comorbidities and demographic features. Angles at final follow-up: lumbar (Difference ratio (DR)= 2.60 [95% CI 0.37 – 18.4], p=0.25), thoracic (DR= 1.08 [95% CI 0.19 - 6.28], p=0.92), thoracolumbar (DR 1.35 [ 95% CI 0.60 - 3.06], p=0.46) and kyphosis (DR = 0.97 [0.66, 1.42] p=0.86). The data shows that there is no statistically significant difference in any of the above outcomes between the two groups both with and without adjustments for factors found to vary between groups. This is also true for the angles at initial post-operative review. Similarly, there was no statistically significant differences in outcomes between groups for length of surgery, blood loss and length of stay as well as no difference in complication outcomes (general and implant failure). Conclusion: These results show that both single and double rod instrumentation achieves satisfactory deformity correction which is maintained at final follow up. This warrants a larger scale study to further assess these techniques while also conducting a cost-benefit analysis between them.

description: We explore the stability of domain wall and bubble solutions in theories with compact extra dimensions. The energy density stored inside of the wall can destabilize the volume modulus of a compactification, leading to solutions containing either a timelike singularity or a region where space decompactifies, depending on the metric ansatz. We determine the structure of such solutions both analytically and using numerical simulations, and analyze how they arise in compactifications of Einstein--Maxwell theory and Type IIB string theory. The existence of instabilities has important implications for the formation of networks of topological defects and the population of vacua during eternal inflation.

description: The goal of this project was to develop and validate a new instrument that reliably measures materialism in preschool children (4–6 years old). A simple and universal Pictorial Materialism Test (PMT) was created and then its psychometric properties were evaluated. The PMT consists of 32 items reflecting two dimensions: acquisition as the pursuit of happiness and success defined by possessions. To examine the psychometric properties of the PMT, 204 children aged 4–6 years participated in the study. To examine the reliability of the PMT, we calculated the internal consistency, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and test–retest intra-class correlation. To determine the convergent validity of the PMT, correlations with another measure of children's materialism (Happiness Collage) and with age were examined. Results confirmed that materialism can be reliably reported by preschool children and that the PMT has satisfactory (albeit moderate) psychometric properties, but requires further validation studies. Nonetheless, the instrument developed in this project is promising for further research because it is universally applicable and has the potential to be used in research on materialism in preschool children around the world.

It is shown that if p(0)=1 or p(0)=-1 and Z[x]/(p(x)) is a principal ideal domain, then Z^n/p(A) Z^n is an invariant of the strong stable isomorphism class of G(A). For n=2 and p(x)=x-1 we conjecture a formula linking values of the invariant and torsion subgroup of elliptic curves with complex multiplication.

Desiccation leads to series of damages, especially those connected to proteins, nucleic acids and membrane lipids. There are many diverse mechanisms beyond desiccation tolerance including osmoprotectants (especially trehalose) and protective proteins (such as chaperones and LEA proteins). Bacterial anhydrobionts can exist in extreme environments of natural or anthropogenic origin, e.g., dried food. Anhydrobiosis phenomenon has many applications, in agriculture, bioremediation, or even in desertification reversal or astrobiology. Our state of knowledge concerning anhydrobiosis enables us to conduct anhydrobiotic engineering based on desiccation tolerance induction under laboratory conditions. (PL) Anhydrobioza to zdolność wybranych organizmów do utraty niemalże całej wody i wejścia w stan odwracalnego ametabolizmu. Organizm taki wysycha do stanu równowagowego z suchym powietrzem. Desykacja prowadzi do uszkodzeń, głównie białek, kwasów nukleinowych oraz lipidów błonowych. Za jej tolerancją stoją zróżnicowane mechanizmy, oparte np. na osmoprotektantach (głównie trehalozie) czy białkach opiekuńczych (chaperonach oraz LEA). Bakteryjne anhydrobionty mogą występować w środowiskach ekstremalnych – naturalnych oraz antropogenicznych, jak suszona żywność. Zjawisko to znajduje praktyczne zastosowania w rolnictwie, bioremediacji, a także w zwalczaniu pustynnienia czy astrobiologii.Wiedza o anhydrobiozie umożliwia praktyczne zastosowanie inżynierii anhydrobiotycznej, polegającej na laboratoryjnej indukcji desykacji.

The solution for the metric dimension is divided into four cases. If n = 3 or 6, the metric dimension of wheel graph Wn is 3. If n = 4 or 5, the metric dimension of wheel graph Wn is 2. If n = 7 or 8, the metric dimension of wheel graph Wn+5k is 3 + 2k for k is a whole number. If n = 9, 10, or 11, the metric dimension of wheel graph Wn+5k is 4 + 2k for k is a whole number. The solution for the partition dimension is divided into two cases. If s ≥ t, the partition dimension of graph F is s + 1. If s < t, the partition dimension of graph F is t.

description: Seven different refinements of trapped surfaces are proposed, each intended as potential stability conditions. This article concerns spherical symmetry, but each condition can be generalized. Involute trapped spheres satisfy a similar condition to minimal trapped spheres, which are are strictly minimal with respect to the Kodama vector. There is also a weaker version of involute trapped. Outer trapped spheres have positive surface gravity. Increasingly (future, respectively past) trapped spheres generate spheres which are more trapped in a (future, respectively past) causal direction, with three types: in any such causal direction, along the dual Kodama vector, and in some such causal direction. Assuming the null energy condition, the seven conditions form a strict hierarchy, in the above order. In static space-times, they reduce to three inequivalent definitions, namely minimal, outer and increasingly trapped spheres. For a widely considered class of so-called nice (or non-dirty) black holes, minimal trapped and outer trapped become equivalent. Reissner-Nordström black holes provide examples of this, and that increasingly trapped differs. Examples where all three refinements differ are provided by a simple family of dirty black holes parameterized by mass and singularity area.

description: Elliptic flow is a hallmark of collectivity in hadronic collisions. Its measurement relies on analysis techniques which require high event multiplicity and could be applied so far to heavy ion collisions only. Here, we delineate the conditions under which elliptic flow becomes measurable in the samples of high-multiplicity ($dN_{\rm ch}/dy \geq 50$) p-p collisions, which will soon be collected at the LHC. We observe that fluctuations in the p-p interaction region can result in a sizable spatial eccentricity even for the most central p-p collisions. Under relatively mild assumptions on the nature of such fluctuations and on the eccentricity scaling of elliptic flow, we find that the resulting elliptic flow signal in high-multiplicity p-p collisions at the LHC becomes measurable with standard techniques.

description: In this article we obtain the energy spectrum of colored, spinor particles in chromoelectric flux tubes. The chromoelectric field of the flux tubes considered here comes from {\em simply} constant gauge potentials rather than from covariantly constant gauge potential, as is usually the case. The energy spectrum of the simply constant flux tubes is different than that of the covariantly constant flux tubes. The spectrum is discrete due to the walls of the tube and with a plus/minus constant shift depending on the magnitude of the constant chromoelectric background. This goes against the classical intuition where one would expect a charged particle in a uniform "electric" field to accelerate with ever increasing velocity/energy i.e. there would be no constant energy eigenvalue.

description: The International Radiation Protection Association (IRPA), the global voice of the radiation protection professionals, has established a specific Task Group (TG) on the Review of the System of Radiological Protection. The goal is to facilitate active IRPA involvement in the review process proposed by ICRP. Furthermore, IRPA has informed all Associate Societies about this first step, encouraging them to organize feedback to ICRP, through the IRPA TG, and independently, on areas of the System that may benefit most from review, as well as early thoughts on directions for improvement of the System. The Task Group has now 30 members from 17 Associated Societies representing thousands of RP professionals from all regions of the world. Feedback from Associate Societies has been sought through the members of the Task Group focusing on general comments on the System, specific comments on the areas of the System that may benefit the most from review, and on additional issues that should be considered by the ICRP as well as early thoughts on direction for improvement of the System. The feedback from Associate Societies will be consolidated to provide an overview reflecting areas of broad consensus and the spectrum of views of the radiation protection professionals. The focus of the IRPA presentation will be on this consolidated feedback obtained from Associated Societies. This feedback will provide the perspective of the radiation protection professionals based on their practical experience living with the System.

Late Cainozoic glaciation and mountain geomorphology in the Central Highlands of Tasmania
Creators: name: Kiernan, K
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania

description: The broad topographic framework and erosion surface morphology of west central Tasmania predates the early Pleistocene. The valley systems, however, have been emphasised by glacial erosion which has played a major role in shaping the detailed geomorphology of the mountains. Part of an extensive ice cap that developed in the Tasmanian Central Highlands during the late Cainozoic discharged southwards via a major outlet glacier that occupied the valley of the Derwent River. The heart of the Central Tasmanian ice cap probably lay west of the Du Cane Range. When the ice cover was most extensive the Derwent Glacier was up to 500 metres thick. It may have extended to as low as 230 metres above sea level, 70 kilometres downstream from its source in the cirques of the Du Cane Range. Two diffluent lobes of this glacier spread eastwards to merge with other glaciers in the Nive Valley. Other diffluent lobes extended southwards into the upper Gordon Valley, and westwards into the upper Franklin and Alma valleys. At the maximum phase the Franklin and Alma glaciers were confluent around Mt. Alma, near the present junction of the Collingwood and Franklin rivers. The more westerly glaciers displayed the highest rates of mass throughput hence glacial landforms are more abundant and better developed in the west. Analysis of the post-depositional modification of the glacial landforms and sediments suggests that at least three glaciations took place. The first glaciation was probably early Pleistocene or late Pliocene in age while the most recent and smallest occurred during the late Last Glacial Stage. Glaciation would have demanded colder temperatures and an increased solid precipitation budget, but no major shift in the direction of snow bearing winds is neccessitated. At no stage was the mean annual air temperature likely to have been more than 9¬¨‚àû C less than present. The glaciations were probably broadly contemporaneous with those at similar southern latitudes in Andean Patagonia and South Island New Zealand. Like the glaciers of those areas the ice masses of west central Tasmania were mainly of temperate maritime character. The glaciations were accompanied by periglacial activity beyond the limits of the ice. The development of rock glaciers suggests that localised areas of permafrost existed during the Last Glaciation. The glacial oversteepening has greatly facilitated slope retreat in areas of high structural anisotropy, particularly under periglacial conditions. Interglacial weathering and erosion was comparatively innocuous, although the presence of a substantial vegetation cover seems to have been critical to the maintenance of slope stabilty, particularly in steeper and more elevated terrain. The geomorphic evidence does not demand any climate deterioration during the Holocene, The most active geomorphological agent of the Holocene interglacial is humankind.
International regime formation and leadership : the origins of the Antarctic treaty

description: This study assesses the role of political leadership in international regime formation. It is argued that political leadership is a necessary, but not sufficient, condition for the success of efforts to reach agreement through processes of institutional bargaining that dominate attempts to form regimes in international society. The theoretical work of Oran Yotmg has drawn attention to the issue of leadership in the formation of international regimes. This study has sought to test ideas, derived from his work, in the context of the international regime regulating human activities in Antarctica which was established under the terms of the Antarctic Treaty of 1959. Based largely on the analysis of recently released government archival material, this case study contrasts the failed attempt to form an Antarctic regime in the late 1940s and early 1950s with the success of efforts in the late 1950s. Indeed, the failure of the efforts undertaken in the earlier period to solve what was known as the Antarctic Problem provides a near experimental condition (or relevant counterfactual) to compare with the success of the efforts which culminated in the signing and ratification of the 1959 Treaty. This thesis confirms Young's hypothesis that political leadership is a multidimensional phenomenon which plays a critical role in regime formation. While leadership was present in both attempts to form an Antarctic regime, the emergence of intellectual leadership in the late 1940s was not complemented by structural or significant entrepreneurial leadership to overcome or circumvent prenegotiation problems. In the later, successful attempt, the ideas generated and proposed through intellectual leadership in the earlier period were complemented with entrepreneurial leadership and structural leadership that were crucial in overcoming extant prenegotiation and other institutional bargaining problems. Thus, the case study suggests that entrepreneurial, structural and intellectual forms of leadership are necessary for regime formation to occur.

description: As noted in the call for this workshop, the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) is embarking on a journey to review and revise the System of Radiological Protection (RP). In doing so, it is seeking input from stakeholders, and, among other actions, asking for advice on education and training. It would seem reasonable then that higher education be able to weigh in on the future of radiological protection. Unfortunately, higher education, which ostensibly serves as a key stakeholder in the RP system, does not currently have a defined role within which to engage the ICRP on this important topic. Historically the ICRP maintains formal relations with several organizations which deal with radiological protection. Among them are the International Commission on Radiation Units and Measurements (ICRU), the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development / Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA), the United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation (UNSCEAR), the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), and many more. However, unlike these strategic liaison organizations (SLOs) with which ICRP interacts, there is no well-defined single organisation of academic radiological protection programs which can serve in an SLO role. This is problematic, as one could argue that students (and faculty) serve the RP system in a multitude of ways: as consumers of the RP system; as knowledge creators of the science used to underpin it; and, through individual contributions as members of ICRP or its task groups. The competency of tomorrow’s radiation protection professionals hinges on a deep understanding of the System of RP. It is critical that educators (and students) be integrated into the development process, to ensure that the system is robust, defensible, implementable, and EXPLAINABLE. This presentation explores ways in which higher education might function as an SLO, so that it can effectively contribute to the future of RP.
