description: Daily life has changed for families due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The aim of this repeated cross-sectional study was to describe movement behaviours in Canadian children and youth 6 months into the pandemic (T2; October 2020) compared with the start of the pandemic (T1, April 2020). An online survey was distributed to parents (N = 1568) of children and/or youth (5–17 years; 58% girls) in October 2020. The survey assessed changes in movement behaviours (physical activity and play, sedentary behaviours, and sleep) from before the pandemic to October 2020 (T2). We compared these data with spring data (T1; April 2020; Moore et al. 2020; Int. J. Behav. Nutr. Phys. Act, 17:85) collected using identical methodology (N = 1472; 54% girls). We report correlations between movement behaviours and relevant parental factors and provide word frequency distributions for open-ended responses. During the second wave, 4.5% of children (4.6% girls; 4.3% boys) and 1.9% of youth (1.3% girls, 2.4% boys) met the movement guidelines (3.1% overall). Whereas, during the first wave, 4.8% (2.8% girls, 6.5% boys) of children and 0.6% (0.8% girls, 0.5% boys) of youth were meeting combined guidelines (2.6% overall). Parental support was correlated with their child’s movement behaviours (T1 and T2). Our study demonstrates the ongoing challenges for children and youth to engage in healthy movement during the pandemic. Novelty: Our large-scale national study demonstrates that children and youth were not meeting the 24-hour movement guidelines during the second wave of the pandemic. Our findings illustrate the need to protect children and youth from the collateral consequences of the pandemic.

description: ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: The coronavirus disease SARS-CoV-2 or COVID-19 has taken the lives of more than 3 million people across the world, with more than 160 million cases reported. Respiratory therapists (RTs) play an important role in the treatment of COVID-19, including managing ventilators and administering breathing treatments. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate attitudes, practices, and perceptions about COVID-19 disease and the COVID-19 vaccine among respiratory therapists in Saudi Arabia. METHODS: The study utilized an online, cross-sectional survey with 36 questions administered to a convenience sample of RTs in Saudi Arabia. The survey is divided into five sections: attitudes, practices, perceptions, vaccination questions toward COVID-19 and demographics questions. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent samples t-test, and one-way ANOVA tests. A significance level was set at 0.05. All analyses were performed in SPSS version 27. RESULTS: The total sample consisted of 38 respiratory therapists consisting of three education levels: associate's degree (n=2, 5.3%), bachelor's degree (n=32, 84.2%), and master's degree (n=4, 10.5%). The majority of the participants were males (66 %, n=25), while the females comprised 34 % (n=13). The participants in the study had a mean age of 29.81 (SD ñ 6.0). The mean and S.D. of experience as a respiratory therapist were (2.24, ñ1.26). The respondents who worked in a public hospital were 27 (71.1%), while those in private hospitals were 11(28.9%). Thirty-six (94.7%) of the participant considered frontline providers, and only two (5.3%) participants declared that they were not. In this study, 32 out of 38 respiratory therapists had previously treated COVID-19 patients in Saudi Arabia. There were no statistically significant differences between male and female respondents in the attitude subscales. The statistically significant findings were found between male and female respondents in the practice subscales. CONCLUSION: In conclusion, the majority of respiratory therapists in Saudi Arabia showed positive attitudes and adequate practices regarding COVID-19 prevention and treatment. More studies are needed to assess the correlates of negative COVID-19 perceptions and vaccination among high-priority populations.

Creators: name: Alharbi, Ahmad
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2021

description: BACKGROUND: Evidenced-based practice (EBP) is applying or translating research findings in our daily patient care practices and clinical decision-making. EBP also involves integrating the best available evidence with clinical knowledge and expertise, while considering patients? unique needs and personal preferences. Since the role of RTs has increased, the importance of choosing the most effective treatment available is vital. Therefore, it is essential to evaluate RTs' EBP beliefs and their implementation level and obtain important information about their daily clinical practice. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to measure the level of implementation, describe beliefs about EBP among respiratory therapists in the clinical setting in Saudi Arabia. METHODS: The study utilized an online, cross-sectional survey with 34 questions administered to a convenience sample of RTs in Saudi Arabia. The survey is divided into three sections: belief and implementation, and demographics questions. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and one-way ANOVA tests. A significance level was set at 0.05. All analyses were performed in SPSS version 26. RESULTS: The total sample consisted of 49 respiratory therapists consisting of three experience levels: less than 5 years (n=38, 77.55%), 5 to 10 years (n=6, 12.24%), and more than 10 years (n=5, 10.20%). The majority of the respondents were males (57%, n=28), while the females comprised (40% n=20). Most of the respondents in the study are between 25 and 30 years old (59% n=29), under 25 years (32% n=16), and over 35 years old (8% n=4) There were no statistically significant differences between male and female respondents or years of experience in the belief or implementation scales. CONCLUSION: In conclusion, the respiratory therapists' community in Saudi Arabia reported their positive beliefs about EBP, but most of them did not frequently implement it in their daily clinical practice. Further research is required due to a lack of literature on evidence-based practice in respiratory therapy, and to assess the correlates of negative EBP' implementation levels among RTs in Saudi Arabia

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Outward foreign direct investment (OFDI) from emerging economies theoretically regarded as a means to acquire overseas knowledge and overcome competitive disadvantages, potentially benefiting parent firms through reverse technology spillover. This thesis empirically examines Chinese OFDI, establishing a positive link with innovation, highlighting its potential as a catalyst for technological advancements. Further, it uncovers the influence of project-specific characteristics challenging the assumptions that location choice decision is solely exogenous to the firm. Additionally, this research explores how host-home differences hinder reverse technology spillover and emphasises the role of experience in overcoming such challenges. This thesis contributes to the existing literature by exploring multiple aspects of the OFDI-reverse technology spillover relationship.
An Assessment of Perception, Prevalence, And Attitudes Toward Using ECMO among Respiratory Therapists in Saudi Arabia
Creators: name: Alkhamis, fatimah

description: Background: Despite the growing research about the effectiveness of using Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in different countries, there is a lack of research that addresses Respiratory therapists (RTs') practice, perception, and prevalence regarding the use of ECMO specifically in Saudi Arabia. Therefore, it is essential to evaluate RTs' perceptions, prevalence, and attitudes toward working with ECMO patients in Saudi Arabia to address the need for designing a target intervention to improve the awareness of understanding ECMO, generate advanced practitioners, enhance the healthcare quality, and decrease mortality.
Purpose: The primary purpose of this study was to evaluate the perception, prevalence, and attitudes toward the application of ECMO among respiratory therapists in Saudi Arabia.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was designed with 28 survey-based questions divided into four sections: demographic data, general questions about using ECMO, general questions about the knowledge of using ECMO, and general questions about the attitudes toward using ECMO among RTs in SA. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and the Chi-square tests. A convenience sample of Respiratory Therapists working in Saudi Arabia was collected online through social media platforms (Twitter, Facebook, and WhatsApp).
Results: A total of 49 RTs responded. More than half of the respondents were male 29 (60.4%), and 19 (39.6%) were female. The majority of respondents were working in urban regions (76.6%), 12.8% (n=6) of respondents were in suburban areas, and only 10.6% (n=5) were in rural areas. Approximately half of the respondents revealed they were uncomfortable with their knowledge while working with patients on ECMO (45.8%). Also, sixteen (34%) of respondents were uncomfortable with their knowledge when decisions are made in their unit relating to the initiation and withdrawal of the ECMO circuit. In comparison, they were knowledgeable in managing the mechanical ventilation of patients receiving ECMO (37.5%). The findings showed that most respiratory therapists working in intensive care units (ICU), most likely the cardiovascular ICU that provides ECMO (52.1%). However, most of them learned about ECMO from their college or university studies. Still, most hospitals did not offer ECMO training for RTs in SA (41.4%). Also, significant differences were received in RTs' attitudes toward ECMO depending on their working area (urban, suburban or rural).
Conclusion: The respiratory therapists showed a limited perception regards working with ECMO patients. However, the findings of this study revealed the experience positively impacts the perception of working with ECMO patients. This study found that education programs and country regions affect the practicing and understanding the patients in ECMO. Future studies should include larger sample size and compare respiratory therapists to other ICU professionals in managing ECMO patients.

description: Recent advances in development of amyloid-targeting therapies support the potential to slow the rate of progression of Alzheimer’s disease. We conducted a narrative review of published evidence identified through a targeted search of the MEDLINE and EMBASE databases (2020-2023), recent presentations at disease-specific conferences, and data updates from cohort studies in Alzheimer’s disease to describe the trajectory of progression of Alzheimer’s disease. Our findings enable interpretation of clinical trial results and the value associated with slowing disease progression across outcomes of relevance to patients, care partners, clinicians, researchers and policymakers. Even at the earliest stages, Alzheimer’s disease imposes a substantial burden on individuals, care partners, and healthcare systems. The magnitude of burden increases with the rate of disease progression and symptom severity, as worsening cognitive decline and physical impairment result in loss of functional independence. Data from cohort studies also indicate that slowing disease progression is associated with decreased likelihood of needing extensive clinical care over at least 5 years, decreased care partner burden, and substantial individual and societal cost savings. Slowed disease progression is of significant benefit to individuals with Alzheimer’s disease, their loved ones, and the healthcare system. As clinicians and policymakers devise strategies to improve access to treatment earlier in the disease spectrum, they should carefully weigh the benefits of slowing progression early in the disease (e.g., preservation of cognitive and functional abilities, as well as relative independence) to individuals, their loved ones, and broader society.

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The rapid evolution of the Internet of Things (IoT) has facilitated the development and deployment of IoT applications in domains such as manufacturing, smart cities, retail, agriculture, health etc. Such IoT applications often are collecting data, responsible for analyzing, and for extracting insightful information to enable decision-making and actuation. In such IoT environments with minimal/no human intervention, evaluating quality is a grand challenge. The notion of quality is essential in order to ensure that autonomic IoT applications are resilient to distributed, uncertain, and heterogeneous IoT environments. The current approaches of evaluating quality in the literature, such as multimedia IoT, involve human feedback (i.e., Likert scale, MOS, etc.), which may be unsuitable for autonomic IoT applications with minimal/no human intervention.
In this thesis, we have introduced and proposed a pioneering definition for autonomic IoT applications. We also introduce a novel definition for quality of autonomic IoT applications. We have proposed, implemented, and evaluated a novel technique for the holistic evaluation of the quality of autonomic IoT applications. The proposed solution is based on first identifying the key metrics which we name IoT quality metrics that contribute to the quality of autonomic IoT application life cycle (data sensing, sensed data transmission, data analytics, analyzed information transmission, decision-making/actuation). Finally, we propose, implement, and evaluate a novel framework, namely Internet of Things-Quality Watch (IoT-QWatch), that supports the development of quality aware autonomic IoT applications.

description: Outdoor learning offers clear physical, cognitive, social-emotional and academic benefits for children and yet, it is considered a grassroots approach to teaching and learning in elementary schools. Purpose: We examined teachers’ perspectives on barriers and supports for outdoor learning in public elementary schools. Methods: Thirty-six teachers in (urban and rural) British Columbia, Alberta, and Ontario (all female; Mean age=43.84, SD=10) participated in one of five virtually administered, semi-structured focus groups. Questions/prompts facilitated a discussion on teachers’ experiences with barriers and supports for outdoor learning. Thematic analysis was used to identify main themes. Results: Four interrelated themes and further sub-themes were found: 1) Teacher characteristics: interest/motivation to teach outdoors, preparedness, confidence in handling risks; 2) Systemic factors: principal support, school/district policies, funding/resources, curriculum, school schedule; 3) Culture: school culture, societal beliefs about education, family backgrounds; 4) Environmental factors: weather, built/natural environment, hazards. Discussion: Systemic support is needed to integrate outdoor learning in schools. Translation to Health Education Practice: Results support the need for a strategic approach in school districts and schools that includes assessing needs and capacities for outdoor learning, planning and implementation of programs, advocacy for and positive communication about outdoor learning, and implementation of professional development for educators.

description: The Canadian Plant Breeders’ Rights Act, which was enacted in 1991, specifically section 73, requires that the Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food form an Advisory Committee consisting of representatives of various associations and enterprises involved in the value chain (e.g. plant breeders, horticulturists, seed dealers, farmers, and other persons the Minister considers appropriate). The measure is intended to involve the farming community, as well as other representatives, in the administration of the Canadian intellectual property regime for the protection of new plant varieties. It thus ensures that legislative, policy, and procedural decisions surrounding the administration of the Plant Breeders’ Rights Act, are made respecting interests of all value chain members, including farmers, and benefits the value chain as a whole. The advice comes in various forms; it could be communicated to the Plant Breeders’ Rights Commissioner via an annual face-to-face meeting or in written format. The outcomes of this measure/practice are reflected in the impacts of the decisions taken by the Advisory Committee, or the policies implemented; for example, improved access to new plant varieties for Canadian farmers.

description: The 8.4 eV transition in the $^{229}$Th nucleus is the basis for a high-precision nuclear clock with exceptional sensitivity to new physics effects. We have identified several cases in the Th$^+$ ion where electronic excitations closely resonate with the nuclear excitation, with the smallest energy difference being $Δ= -0.09$ cm$^{-1}$. We investigate the electronic bridge process, in which nuclear excitation is induced via electronic transitions, and demonstrate that a proper selection of laser frequencies can lead to a dramatic enhancement of this effect. Additionally, we show that the interaction with electrons significantly shortens the lifetime of the nuclear excited state.

description: As inherently social beings, children’s acquisition of knowledge often stems from the testimony of others. However, not all sources of information are equally reliable. Selective learning refers to an individual’s propensity to rely on one source of information over another. The overarching goal of this dissertation is to shed light on the ways in which children interpret credibility cues that guide their selective learning patterns. As such, Study 1 explored how children interpret informant confidence cues. Study 2, which was run concurrently with Study 1, analyzed children’s interpretation of informant credibility when cues of accuracy and confidence were conflicting. Finally, Study 3 investigated the cue of explicit informant disagreement and its effect on children’s selective learning patterns and informant attributions. Findings from Study 1 (n = 84) suggest that school-aged children, but not preschoolers, expect confident informants to be knowledgeable. Furthermore, Study 2 (n = 87) results show that when accuracy conflicts with confidence, accuracy drives 3- to 8-year-old children’s knowledge attributions. Findings from Study 3 (n = 111) suggest that 5- to 8-year-old children do not base their learning decisions on the cue of disagreement despite attributing significantly more confidence and less benevolence to a discordant informant. In all, these studies shed light on the developmental course of children’s selective learning, a skill that is indispensable in a world wherein children must carefully evaluate the reliability of others’ testimony.

description: Die Broschüre ist ein Ergebnis des Forschungsprojektes "Die Umsetzung der Sustainable Development Goals als Chance und Herausforderung für das bürgerschaftliche Engagement". Im Projekt wurden zivilgesellschaftliche Kooperationen zwischen unterschiedlichen engagement-politischen Akteuren zur konkreten Ausgestaltung von bürgerschaftlichem Engagement im Kontext der SDG erprobt. Die Broschüre macht die Vielfalt des bestehenden Engagements und ihren Beitrag für einen sozial-ökologischen Wandel sichtbar und soll hier insbesondere zivilgesellschaftlichen Akteuren als Anregung und Unterstützung dienen, die SDG mit der alltäglichen Praxis bürgerschaftlichen Engagements zu verbinden. Sie liefert zudem Handlungsempfehlungen für Engagierte, aber auch für wissenschaftliche und staatliche Akteure, um Engagement bei der Ausgestaltung von Kooperationen im Sinne der SDG zu stärken und zu fördern.

description: Patents are an interesting area for
scientists as a supplement to publications
in scientific journals. Research
contracts with companies always
take the issue of intellectual property
(IP) into account. This can lead to
extensive and lengthy negotiations
between the University and the company,
before a research contract can
be signed, and of course before any
IP is generated. As employee of the
University, the inventor typically
helps to design the contract and the
patent application, in the case of a
successful research during the time of
the contract. If a patent is commercialized,
the inventor typically receives
a modest compensation for his
efforts. This has changed in the past
18 years. I have filed my first patent
all alone, without help or financial
contribution by the University, but
retaining all rights (and running
costs) associated with it. Inventors
typically do not become rich, but
experience with patents and the corresponding
negotiations helps to get
research contracts from companies.

Tei en español: why and how

description: The Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) was, from its beginnings, a very much Western, English-language project. However, its use is nowadays global. The efforts to internationalize the TEI's documentation started with an initiative led by Sebastian Rahtz by 2005. This work resulted in partial translations in Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Italian, Spanish, French, and German. Still, the TEI Guidelines are written and edited entirely in English, and most of the courses and tutorials are either written in English or use examples from European or North American literatures. We believe that, in order to adopt the TEI, the academic community, individuals and institutions, need to have more resources available in their native language. With this in mind, we started some years ago the Text Technologies Hub or TTHub, an online open site that aims to function as a hub of materials in Spanish devoted to the global Spanish community interested in Digital Scholarly Edition with TEI and Text Technologies. Thanks to the Mellon Foundation we will soon be improving our Hub. In this presentation we will share goals and next steps.

Katarina-Dimitrijevic aka KraalD | Plastic Entanglement—A visual narrative with single-use plastics
These exhibits are a departure from pictorial maps. Two site-specific installations (KraalD, Özçetin & Özçetin) mapped systems so they could be experienced from multiple points of view. The third, an experiment in art-science collaboration (Berry-Firth), resulted in richly rendered systemic representations of scientific findings. Also presented is the inventory of graphical devices and an opportunity to consider notations in multi-media mapping (Stoyko).

More than just a feeling: The relationship between loneliness and health
Creators: name: Vasan, Shradha
Publisher: name: Swinburne

description: The thesis consists of three studies exploring the relationship between loneliness and various health dimensions, including physical health (particularly cardiovascular health), mental health, and health literacy. The results reveal that loneliness has a detrimental impact on these health dimensions, independent of concurrent mental and social health issues, in both young adults and the general adult population. Furthermore, the COVID-19 pandemic may have exacerbated this effect. These findings can be valuable in developing interventions to tackle loneliness and improve health outcomes, including primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular diseases, as well as enhancing health literacy through awareness and education.
Socioeconomic factors and substances involved in poisoning-related emergency department visits in British Columbia, Canada

description: Canada’s opioid crisis has taken thousands of lives, increasing awareness of poisoning-related injuries as an important public health issue. However, in British Columbia (BC), where overdose mortality rates are the highest in Canada, studies have not yet identified which demographic populations most often visit emergency departments (ED) due to all poisonings, nor which substances are most commonly involved. The aim of this study was to explore these gaps, after developing a methodology for calculating ED visit rates in BC. A methodology for estimating ED visit rates in BC was developed and applied to determine poisoning-related ED visit rates among various demographic groups within BC. British Columbians most vulnerable to poisoning have been identified, emphasizing the need for efforts to limit drug overdoses and excessive alcohol intoxication to reduce rates of these preventable injuries.

description: Die Antwort auf ein bislang ungelöstes Fingerprinting-Problem lieferten drei Forscher aus der Universität Duisburg-Essen. Das Verfahren ist besonders, weil es eine schnelle Installation und Kalibrierung der Infrastruktur in neuen Umgebungen erlaubt.
description: After five years of intense research in the area of indoor localization, three researchers of the University of Duisburg-Essen have founded Locoslab GmbH, a company that sells indoor localization solutions for airports, shopping centers, trade fairs and other applications. Locoslab offers three services: (1) The installation and provision of software and hardware needed to build an infrastructure for indoor localization. (2) The design and implementation of Apps for Android and iOS to meet the specific needs of the end-users. (3) Analysis tools for big-data that has been extracted through the use of location-based services. With their patent-pending calibration approach, Locoslab GmbH is able to install a localization system in minutes instead of weeks or hours, making it a viable alternative for new application areas where installations are needed in quick changing environments such as trade fairs or conferences. Despite the great support from the UDE regarding the submission of the patent application, there are a number of issues that need to be mentioned with respect to funding a new company. First of all, as a founder and scientist, it is very hard to understand that other people might not be genuinely interested in the elegance of the solution and do not appreciate its beauty. Secondly, putting a price to someone’s own invention is harder than it seems, mostly due to the emotional attachment to the solution itself. All in all, it is great to have the opportunity to fund a company and work on commercializing the product of scientific work although one needs to understand very quickly that most of the challenges to be solved are not of technical nature and cannot be solved through patents or even logic. It is a hell of a trip to get involved with a start-up and one has to be a little crazy to do it but it is also extremely rewarding, especially if things go well in the end.

description: Objective: Concussion is a public health concern across all ages, yet there is little research on providing concussion education and training within the educational context. The Concussion Awareness Training Tool for School Professionals (CATT SP) was developed to provide the neces-sary concussion education and resources for school professionals to support a student with con-cussion while integrating back to school. Methods: The CATT SP module underwent a 2016 pre/post-intervention evaluation to determine if knowledge and attitudes significantly improved among educators and administrators following completion of the CATT SP, as well as a 2018-19 pilot study within a school district in British Columbia with an accompanying Quality Assurance/Quality Improvement assessment. Results: A statistically significant positive change in knowledge (p = .027) was found among those who indicated that they had accessed CATT SP. Results of the pilot study and QA/QI assessment found support of the use of CATT within the school district. Conclusions: Evidence-based concussion training and resources are key components for school professionals who are collaboratively supporting a student’s individualized return to school and learning following a concussion, and when developing and implementing a concussion policy within districts and school.
