description: We study the decay of "false" domain walls, which are metastable states of the quantum theory where the true vacuum is trapped inside the wall, with the false vacuum outside. We consider a theory with two scalar fields, a shepherd field and a field of sheep. The shepherd field serves to herd the solitons of the sheep field so that they are nicely bunched together. However, quantum tunnelling of the shepherd field releases the sheep to spread out uncontrollably. We show how to calculate the tunnelling amplitude for such a disintegration.

description: Second semester University: University of Nottingham
description: Children involved in production, trafficking or sale of drugs are victims of circumstances as well as law offenders. Drug trafficking is a ‘global illicit trade involving the cultivation, manufacture, distribution and sale of substances which are subject to drug prohibition laws’ The purpose of this study is to investigate whether children who have fallen into drug-related delinquency in Colombia should be treated as victims or as criminals. This study extensively examined international human rights law, including the Convention on the Rights of the Child, and national law instruments to determine how children involved in illicit drug trafficking should be treated. Having ratified the Convention on children’s rights and given the Colombian legal framework, Colombia demonstrates a clear commitment to protect the rights of children regardless of the nature of crimes that they commit. In conclusion, it was found that both international and national human rights laws tend to favour the victimisation of children involved in drug trafficking. Thus, it can be argued that children trafficking drugs be considered victims rather than as criminals. It is firmly believed that this study would contribute to the respect of human rights in the treatment of children. Key words: children, drug trafficking, human rights, Colombia, victimisation, criminalisation.

description: Within the ERC AdG 885222-GreekSchools we aim to manage the edit of multiple papyrologic texts: diplomatic and literary editions and the corresponding apparatuses and their translations. To endow scholars with automatic consistency and coherence of editorial choices and to support the whole editing process, we leverage Domain Specific Languages (DSLs): a formal language definition in a bounded domain. Digital text editing can be handled in multiple ways depending on the editorial purpose. We identify four possible editing approaches to digital textual scholarship: (1) word processor; (2) structured text (e.g. XML); (3) GUI-centric; (4) domain specific language (DSL). Each of them has pros and cons. In particular we analyse five dimensions: familiarity, compactness, completeness, data elaboration support, and the need of technical training. With familiarity we refer to how much the scholar can avoid shifting his established working paradigm/environment. Compactness is the ratio between quantity of information and formalisation size. Completeness refers to the information the content represents. The capability to extract or deduce information from the data is addressed by data elaboration support. Finally, we consider important to evaluate the amount of technical training for text editing. For example, structured texts grant completeness of information, while requiring extensive technical training. In this context only the DSL approach encompasses all these dimensions while the other approaches compromises on some of them. We propose a DSL-based editor that will support and improve the editing workflow in the context of the ERC project.

description: The scientific movement of intervening on human reproduction to manipulate breeding and produce genetically superior offspring, called eugenics, became nationwide public policy in early twentieth century United States. The government and social elite sought to cleanse the country of ‘defective’ heredity and preserve the American race by promoting breeding for families who fulfilled the Anglo-Saxon ideal and suppressing procreation for those who did not. A model of genetic advancement intensified by Adolf Hitler and his Third Reich, eugenics in America provided a scientific foundation for government intervention on populations antithetical to the American identity. One hundred years later, eugenic ideals for race preservation have resurfaced with the presidential election of Donald Trump. His call to “make America great again” has facilitated the enactment of policy initiatives that target immigrants, minorities, and the poor to eliminate populations outside the model of a ‘true’ American. Despite being a nation founded on human rights principles, which are embedded in the Constitution, the endowment of these rights is conditional for the advancement and posterity of a select minority of Americans.
FYCO1 mediates clearance of α-synuclein aggregates through a Rab7-dependent mechanism
Creators: name: Falkenburger, Björn
Publisher: name: Open Science Framework
Year: 2022

description: Parkinson disease can be caused by mutations in the α-synuclein gene and is characterized by aggregates of α-synuclein protein. We have previously shown that overexpression of the small GTPase Rab7 can induce clearance of α-synuclein aggregates. We now investigate which Rab7 effectors mediate this effect. To model Parkinson disease we expressed the pathogenic A53T mutant of α-synuclein in HEK293T cells and Drosophila melanogaster. We tested the Rab7 effectors FYVE and coiled-coil domain-containing protein 1 (FYCO1) and Rab-interacting lysosomal protein (RILP). FYCO1-EGFP decorated vesicles containing α-synuclein. RILP-EGFP also decorated vesicular structures, but they did not contain α-synuclein. FYCO1 overexpression reduced the number of cells with α-synuclein aggregates, defined as visible particles of EGFP-tagged α-synuclein, whereas RILP did not. FYCO1 but not RILP reduced the amount of α-synuclein protein as assayed by western blot, increased the disappearance of α-synuclein aggregates in time-lapse microscopy, and decreased α-synuclein-induced toxicity assayed by the Trypan blue assay. siRNA-mediated knockdown of FYCO1 but not RILP reduced Rab7 induced aggregate clearance. Collectively, these findings indicate that FYCO1 and not RILP mediates Rab7 induced aggregate clearance. The effect of FYCO1 on aggregate clearance was blocked by the dominant negative Rab7 indicating that FYCO1 requires active Rab7 to function. Electron microscopic analysis and insertion of lysosomal membranes into the plasma membrane indicate that FYCO1 could lead to secretion of α-synuclein aggregates. Extracellular α-synuclein as assayed by ELISA was, however, not increased with FYCO1. Coexpression of FYCO1 in the fly model decreased α-synuclein aggregates as shown by the filter trap assay and rescued the locomotor deficit resulting from neuronal A53T-α-synuclein expression. This latter finding confirms that a pathway involving Rab7 and FYCO1 stimulates degradation of α-synuclein and could be beneficial in patients with Parkinson disease.
Externally induced electric fields alter endogenous cortical activity in vitro

Year: 2017

description: Transcranial electrical stimulation (tES) is a novel noninvasive brain stimulation method which has been proposed to interact with and alter endogenous brain oscillations. This stimulation delivers a weak electric current to the brain via sponge electrodes placed on the skull. The tES has behavioral and cognitive effects on healthy populations and improves mood symptoms in several drug-resistant forms of psychiatric disorders including major depression and schizophrenia. The cellular level mechanism of the effect of tES is an active research topic in neuroscience. This study aims to study the effects of tES at the neural population level using mouse cortical slices in vitro.
Thermodynamic theory of equilibrium fluctuations

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)

description: The postulational basis of classical thermodynamics has been expanded to incorporate equilibrium fluctuations. The main additional elements of the proposed thermodynamic theory are the concept of quasi-equilibrium states, a definition of non-equilibrium entropy, a fundamental equation of state in the entropy representation, and a fluctuation postulate describing the probability distribution of macroscopic parameters of an isolated system. Although these elements introduce a statistical component that does not exist in classical thermodynamics, the logical structure of the theory is different from that of statistical mechanics and represents an expanded version of thermodynamics. Based on this theory, we present a regular procedure for calculations of equilibrium fluctuations of extensive parameters, intensive parameters and densities in systems with any number of fluctuating parameters. The proposed fluctuation formalism is demonstrated by four applications: (1) derivation of the complete set of fluctuation relations for a simple fluid in three different ensembles; (2) fluctuations in finite-reservoir systems interpolating between the canonical and micro-canonical ensembles; (3) derivation of fluctuation relations for excess properties of grain boundaries in binary solid solutions, and (4) derivation of the grain boundary width distribution for pre-melted grain boundaries in alloys. The last two applications offer an efficient fluctuation-based approach to calculations of interface excess properties and extraction of the disjoining potential in pre-melted grain boundaries. Possible future extensions of the theory are outlined.

We use Ozsváth and Szabó's correction terms in Heegaard Floer homology to obtain general constraints on the surgery coefficients. We then turn our attention to the case of integral surgeries, with particular emphasis on positive torus knots. Finally, combining these results with a lattice-theoretic obstruction based on Donaldon's theorem, we classify which integral surgeries along torus knots of the form $T_{kq\pm 1,q}$ bound rational homology balls.

description: We have commenced experiments with intense short pulses of ion beams on the Neutralized Drift Compression Experiment-II at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, by generating beam spots size with radius r < 1 mm within 2 ns FWHM and approximately 10^10 ions/pulse. To enable the short pulse durations and mm-scale focal spot radii, the 1.2 MeV Li+ ion beam is neutralized in a 1.6-meter drift compression section located after the last accelerator magnet. An 8-Tesla short focal length solenoid compresses the beam in the presence of the large volume plasma near the end of this section before the target. The scientific topics to be explored are warm dense matter, the dynamics of radiation damage in materials, and intense beam and beam-plasma physics including selected topics of relevance to the development of heavy-ion drivers for inertial fusion energy. Here we describe the accelerator commissioning and time-resolved ionoluminescence measurements of yttrium aluminium perovskite using the fully integrated accelerator and neutralized drift compression components.

Rb-Sr isotopic characterization of pegmatite dikes from the Tuolumne Intrusive Suite, California, USA
Creators: name: Doorn, Christopher
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries

description: Pegmatite dikes are common in granitic plutons and reflect crystallization of the fluid-rich last increments of the system. I measured 87Sr/86Sr ratios for several pegmatites from the Tuolumne Intrusive Suite in the Sierra Nevada batholith, California to examine the possible role of mass transfer between wall rocks and intruding magma. Variation in isotopic composition between wall rocks and plutons provides a sensitive test of fluid-rock interaction.
Meter-scale pegmatite dikes along the margins of the intrusive suite cut both wall rocks and granitoids (including tonalite, granodiorite, and granite). Initial 87Sr/86Sr ratios in granitoids along an east-west traverse range from 0.7057 to 0.7066 (Kistler et al, 1986; Bateman et al., 1988; Gray et al., 2008). Wall rocks along the margins of the suite display variable 87Sr/86Sr, ranging from 0.710 to 0.774 (Mills et al., 2009), significantly more radiogenic than the igneous materials. Age-corrected pegmatite 87Sr/86Sr ratios range from 0.706 to 0.709.
Pegmatites have higher 87Sr/86Sr ratios than granitoids, but lower than the metasedimentary wall rocks. I interpret these data as indicating interaction between hydrous fluids from late-stage granite crystallization and wall rocks. Pegmatites in the Tuolumne Intrusive Suite represent the final stages of pluton development, and hydrothermal circulation could drive fluid paths that traverse wall rocks and the crystallizing plutons, resulting in 87Sr/86Sr ratios between those of the two end members.

description: This thesis examines the impact of the European Convention on Human Rights in the Russian Federation. Since the Convention was ratified fifteen years ago, it is interesting to look at the changes it has brought in the Russian legal system. The thesis focuses on the implementation of Criminal Procedural rights in the Russian legal system. The author will argue that although changes are slow to come, the European Convention on Human Rights has already greatly influenced the Russian legal system. Unfortunately, the current discrepancy between the theory of the law that was developed in the European Court on Human Rights, which has reached the Russian Constitutional Court, and the practical and effective protection of criminal procedural rights prevents individuals from being adequately protected daily. This thesis will therefore attempt to point out various elements in the Russian legal system detrimental to the protection of Criminal Procedural rights.

description: We present Hubble Space Telescope observations of the upper part (T_eff> 10 000 K) of the white dwarf cooling sequence in the globular cluster 47 Tucanae and measure a luminosity function of hot white dwarfs. Comparison with previous determinations from large scale field surveys indicates that the previously determined plateau at high effective temperatures is likely a selection effect, as no such feature is seen in this sample. Comparison with theoretical models suggests that the current estimates of white dwarf neutrino emission (primarily by the plasmon channel) are accurate, and variations are restricted to no more than a factor of two globally, at 95% confidence. We use these constraints to place limits on various proposed exotic emission mechanisms, including a non-zero neutrino magnetic moment, formation of axions, and emission of Kaluza-Klein modes into extra dimensions.

description: A log symplectic manifold is a complex manifold equipped with a complex symplectic form that has simple poles on a hypersurface. The possible singularities of such a hypersurface are heavily constrained. We introduce the notion of an elliptic point of a log symplectic structure, which is a singular point at which a natural transversality condition involving the modular vector field is satisfied, and we prove a local normal form for such points that involves the simple elliptic surface singularities $\tilde{E}_6,\tilde{E}_7$ and $\tilde{E}_8$. Our main application is to the classification of Poisson brackets on Fano fourfolds. For example, we show that Feigin and Odesskii's Poisson structures of type $q_{5,1}$ are the only log symplectic structures on projective four-space whose singular points are all elliptic.

How endogenous crowd formation undermines the wisdom-of-the-crowd in online ratings

Publisher: name: Open Science Framework
Year: 2022

description: People frequently consult average ratings on online recommendation platforms before making consumption decisions. Research on the wisdom-of-the-crowd phenomenon suggests that average ratings provide unbiased quality estimates. Yet, we argue that the process by which average ratings are updated creates a systematic bias. In analyses of more than 80 million online ratings, we found that items with high average ratings tend to attract more additional ratings than items with low average ratings. We call this asymmetry in how average ratings are updated ‘endogenous crowd formation.’ Using computer simulations, we show that it implies the emergence of a negative bias in average ratings. This bias affects particularly strongly items with few ratings, which leads to ranking mistakes. The average-rating ranks of items with few ratings are worse than their quality ranks. We found evidence for the predicted pattern of biases in an experiment and in analyses of large online rating datasets.

It is divided in two parts: first, it studies the place of democracy and human rights and their conditionality in the recent history of the European Union Enlargement, analysing its evolution as the EU increased its integration and number of Member States. It later shifts to focus its attention on the accession of Bulgaria to the EU and studies the treatment given by the European Commission and the European Council to the Political Criteria during the process of accession of Bulgaria. To this end, this paper analyses the main instruments provided at the time: the Accession Partnerships and the Regular Reports. An assessment of the accession of Bulgaria to the Council of Europe is introduced in order to throw greater clarity about the evolution of the country since 1990.
Determining the fate of internalized CFTR after cigarette smoke exposure
Creators: name: Smith, Amanda J.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2015

description: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a global health problem with tobacco smoke exposure being the predominant cause. COPD has two subtypes: emphysema, the destruction of the alveolar surfaces, and chronic bronchitis (CB), the accumulation of mucus in the airways. Patients with cystic fibrosis (CF), a disease caused by genetic mutations in the CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene, have similar symptoms to the CB form of COPD, such as mucus dehydration and failure in mucociliary clearance. Research has shown that these characteristics in CB may be caused, at least in part, by the rapid internalization and aggregation of CFTR after cigarette smoke (CS) exposure. My research investigated the colocalization, or proximity, of CFTR after CS-induced internalization with various endosomes of the endocytic pathway.
For my research, I have labeled early and late endosomes, and CFTR, with fluorescent proteins and expressed them in HEK293T cells, a human embryonic kidney cell line, exposed the cells to CS, and imaged the cells using confocal microscopy. My results suggest that internalized CFTR colocalized with, or relocated to, early and late endosomes at various time points after CS exposure. Understanding the mechanisms of how CFTR is internalized will help lead to therapies to treat CFTR dysfunction in COPD patients.

Sugar-Sweetened Beverage (SSB) Consumption is Associated with Lower Quality of the Non-SSB Diet in U.S. Adolescents and Young Adults
Creators: name: Doherty, Alexandra
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2019

description: Background. Since 2003-4, the US has seen large declines in sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) intake overall and especially among non-Hispanic white subpopulations. Obesity prevalence has not shown comparable declines in the two highest SSB groups, adolescents and young adults. Little is understood about the quality of the diet excluding SSBs (non-SSB diet).Objective. The objective of this study is to evaluate differences in non-SSB diet quality among SSB consumers and non-consumers in adolescents and young adults and among the three major ace/ethnic subgroups.Design. This study utilized data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), a cross-sectional, nationally representative survey of the US population for both days of the survey, when possible.Participants. This study included 6,426 adolescents, ages 12-18, and young adults, ages 19-29, in NHANES (2009-2014).Main outcome measures. Quality of the non-SSB diet was measured using the 2015 Healthy Eating Index (HEI).Statistical analyses performed. Multivariate linear regressions controlled for sociodemographic characteristics and stratified by race/ethnicity (non-Hispanic whites, non-Hispanic blacks, and Hispanics). Subpopulations were stratified by non-SSB consumption, low consumption, and high consumption based on the World Health Organization’s added sugar recommendations. Results. Adolescents and young adults had significantly different non-SSB HEI scores among different SSB consumer groups (p < 0.001), with higher non-SSB HEI scores among non-consumers. However, non-SSB HEI scores were universally low and require improvement. Among non-Hispanic Blacks, significant differences in non-SSB HEI were only found between non- and low SSB consumers. Among Hispanics, associations varied by age group, with significant differences found for young adults but no association found for adolescents. Conclusions. Universally low non-SSB HEI scores among SSB consumers indicate that reducing SSB consumption alone will not be a sufficient strategy for improving dietary quality among adolescents and young adults. Future interventions need to consider ways to increase the quality of the non-SSB diet.

description: We report on the observation of the spin Seebeck effect in antiferromagnetic MnF$_2$. A device scale on-chip heater is deposited on a bilayer of Pt (4 nm)/MnF$_2$ (110) (30 nm) grown by molecular beam epitaxy on a MgF$_2$ (110) substrate. Using Pt as a spin detector layer it is possible to measure thermally generated spin current from MnF$_2$ through the inverse spin Hall effect. The low temperature (2 - 80 K) and high magnetic field (up to 140 kOe) regime is explored. A clear spin flop transition corresponding to the sudden rotation of antiferromagnetic spins out of the easy axis is observed in the spin Seebeck signal when large magnetic fields (>9 T) are applied parallel the easy axis of the MnF$_2$ thin film. When magnetic field is applied perpendicular to the easy axis, the spin flop transition is absent, as expected.
Probing the Structure Of mCHE-12's TOG Domains to Understand Their Role in Regulating Microtubule Dynamics in vitro
Creators: name: Wood, Cameron Champion
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2014

description: The study of proteins with microtubule organizing function is important in order to better understand mechanisms of the cytoskeleton. The protein Che-12 is one such conserved protein that affects microtubule dynamics in cilia development. How Che-12 carries out this function, however, remains unknown. Following sequence analysis, it was hypothesized that Che-12 contains four TOG domains which are known to regulate microtubule polymerization. The purpose of my in vitro study of mChe-12 (mouse) was to characterize mChe-12’s predicted TOG domains and their interactions with microtubules. I have purified multiple constructs containing these predicted domains and have used these purified proteins for both structure determination using X-ray crystallography and tubulin polymerization assays using light scattering techniques. Based on these experiments, I have helped validate the presence of TOG domains within mChe-12 and begun to determine the role of mChe-12’s TOG domains in regulating tubulin polymerization. Thus, we have been able to characterize the Che-12 family as a new class of TOG domain containing proteins which are conserved in ciliated and flagellated organisms.

description: This article presents FVA and CVA of a bilateral derivative in a coherent manner, based on recent developments in fair value accounting and ISDA standards. We argue that a derivative liability, after primary risk factors being hedged, resembles in economics an issued variable funding note, and should be priced at the market rate of the issuer's debt. For the purpose of determining the fair value, the party on the liability side is economically neutral to make a deposit to the other party, which earns his current debt rate and effectively provides funding and hedging for the party holding the derivative asset. The newly derived partial differential equation for an option discounts the derivative's receivable part with counterparty's curve and payable part with own financing curve. The price difference from the counterparty risk free price, or total counterparty risk adjustment, is precisely defined by discounting the product of the risk free price and the credit spread at the local liability curve. Subsequently the adjustment can be broken into a default risk component -- CVA and a funding component -- FVA, consistent with a simple note's fair value treatment and in accordance with the usual understanding of a bond's credit spread consisting of a CDS spread and a basis. As for FVA, we define a cost -- credit funding adjustment (CFA) and a benefit -- debit funding adjustment (DFA), in parallel to CVA and DVA and attributed to counterparty's and own funding basis. This resolves a number of outstanding FVA debate issues, such as double counting, violation of the law of one price, misuse of cash flow discounting, and controversial hedging of own default risk. It also allows an integrated implementation strategy and reuse of existing CVA infrastructure.

"Where are the now" : listen(ing) to the children: a holistic perspective on children and youth participation
Creators: name: Damjanovich, Krisztina

Subjects: children rights

description: Second semester University: University of Padua.
description: This interdisciplinary research study looks into the possibility of closing the gap between child rights ratification and rights implementations by proposing a holistic approach to children’s full and meaningful participation based on the assumption that the realisation of the ‘right to participation’ and practical experience of the participation processes are the pivotal means towards children’s rights enjoyment. The paper explores the existing theoretical concepts and understandings of the child, childhood and participation alongside with the challenges of participation processes. This research study proposes a holistic conception on the so-called “participatory rights” whereby analysis is centred on the importance of article 12 and its interrelations with other respective participatory rights of children. In that regards, a participation rights bracelet model is presented for the hypothetical assumption of Convention rights implementation in the participation processes. In addition, the paper showcases secondary sources of empirical case studies conducted on and with children to demonstrate children’s participation in practice, and aims to draw on those standard setting practices for universal applicability towards a culture of participation. The study aspires to contribute to the understanding of meaningful children and youth participation, implementation and monitoring.
Slow convergence in periodic homogenization problems for divergence type elliptic operators
Creators: name: Aleksanyan, Hayk
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Analysis of PDEs (math.AP)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: We introduce a new constructive method for establishing lower bounds on convergence rates of periodic homogenization problems associated with divergence type elliptic operators. The construction is applied in two settings. First, we show that solutions to boundary layer problems for divergence type elliptic equations set in halfspaces and with infinitely smooth data, may converge to their corresponding boundary layer tails as slow as one wish depending on the position of the hyperplane. Second, we construct a Dirichlet problem for divergence type elliptic operators set in a bounded domain, and with all data being $C^\infty$-smooth, for which the boundary value homogenization holds with arbitrarily slow speed.

A Media Guide for an Evolving Narrative: understanding campus media coverage of sexual assault from a survivor perspective
Creators: name: Petersen, Hannah M.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2017

description: Across the nation, campus newspapers are amplifying efforts to obtain detailed sexual
assault records held by their respective universities. Should campus news organizations succeed in their requests, student reporters would have access to information that could lead to more substantive coverage of the issue and help hold institutions accountable, but could also violate the privacy of survivors and individuals involved in the case. There has been relatively little research done of campus media to guide its coverage of sexual assault on their campuses. Because of their proximity to the issue of sexual assault, campus media is often first to cover the topic. Due to this position, campus papers would do well to take a survivor centered approach to coverage of sexual assault guided by the voices of survivors in the form of a best practices guide. Through conducting interviews with survivors and campus journalists at UNC-Chapel Hill, this research investigates how both parties understand their role within media for the purpose of creating a survivor centered best practices guide that campus journalists can utilize when approaching stories about sexual assault.

description: Second semester University: University of Zagreb
description: To what extent is Colombia’s protection programme effective in protecting human rights defenders in the post-demobilisation scenario? This is the main question that guides the content of the thesis are focused on the extent and nature of human rights violations defenders face in Colombia. What is happening? Who is being killed? Who are killing them? Why are they being them? Chapter 2 will try to shed a light on these questions, and to explore the driving forces behind the widespread threats and aggressions against defenders. A second group of questions deals with the protection mechanisms in place. How are defenders being protected? Who protects them? How could the protection’s institutional framework be improved? Through these questions, Itry to offer an account of shortcomings and challenges the National Protection Unit should face in the years to come.
In-situ Derivatization of Flavor Additives in E-Cigarette Liquids During Nano-Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometry
Creators: name: Ogorchock, Megan

description: Chemicals used as flavorings, such as diacetyl, cinnamaldehyde, benzaldehyde, and vanillin, are FDA approved products for ingestion, but are now being added into the liquid of e-cigarettes and have recognized associations with respiratory disease when inhaled. A common method used for detection and quantification of harmful carbonyl compounds involves derivatization of the aldehyde or ketone in conjunction with chromatographic separation prior to mass analysis. Derivatization reactions have been integral for chemical analysis of molecules that do not readily ionize and thus are not detected by mass spectrometry (MS). Specific derivatization reactions can be utilized to add a permanent charge to the analyte, thus improving MS limits of detection. One example of analyte derivatization involves using Girard’s reagents. Girard’s Reagent T (GirT) and Girard’s Reagent P (GirP) undergo a Schiff-base formation with a carbonyl compound and provide the analyte with a permanent, positive charge that increases ionization efficiency and sensitive detection by MS. Typically, derivatization reactions are run for hours at elevated temperatures to get efficient conversion to products. Thus, utilizing conventional derivatization and chromatographic techniques limits high throughput analyses. However, recently it has been demonstrated that reactions can be completed on-line on a microsecond timescale in a microdroplet generated through nano-electrospray ionization (nESI). Herein, we demonstrate simultaneous derivatization and analysis of carbonyl compounds using nESI-MS. The derivatization kinetics of GirT and GirP reacting with the carbonyls were studied in the generated microdroplets.

description: Second semester University: New University of Lisbon
description: Intimate partner’s violence has been recognised as a serious social issue, public health problem and a violation of basic human rights. The notion has evolved that only men are using violence against their female partners and if women are using violence it’s only for self-defense. Many recent researches have denied this statement, and some researchers even claim that women physically abuse their male partners more often than men. This thesis is a call for recognision of physical violence by women against men. The work emphasises women’s violence as a serious social issue and examines particularity of women’s violence, violent women’s motivations and men victim’s experiences. The protection from domestic violence is analysed within discourse of human rights: the main international treaties and states obligations concerning domestic violence are overviewed. The work is complemented with two case studies of women’s violence and men victim’s protection in Lithuania and Portugal. In final part, the recommendations are given how to tackle women’s violence against men.
