description: In this study, manufacture of ceramic membranes modified by nanomaterials (Tio2) and CTAC was done. Materials were synthesized by the application of the sol-gel method with respective amounts measured in the molar ratio of Ti: Ethanol: HCL: H2O as 1:15:0.3:5. The coating of Tio2 was done by two methods. The first method involves coating the sample with the prepared sol and subsequently letting the gelation process to occur. The gel-coated ceramic was then calcinated at 550 c resulting in a Tio2 coated ceramic sample. The second method involves preparing Tio2 particles with the formed 0 0 c resulting in Tio2 powders. Taking the newly formed Tio2 powder with Nitric acid (HNO3) in the ratio of 0.5 gm Tio2 powder: 10ml of HNo3; rigorous mixing for three hours has yielded a solution. Whereby a second sample was Immersed and calcined at the previous temperature. The prepared samples were then Immersed again in a solution formed by CTAC and water at a ratio of 5gm:100ml. The coated samples where finally dried and prepared for the testing. Material characterization and filtration tests were conducted to check whether or not the samples were acceptable. SEM/EDS Mapping as well as XRD tests was done to determine the morphology and phase composition of the manufactured material. Performance in the form of efficiency was also conducted by the use of filtration test as another form of characterization. The results obtained confirmed that the prepared membrane has met all the objectives of the study and has successfully removed hexavalent chromium from water solution. The calculated efficiency value of the respected modified and unmodified membranes has been found to be 73.01% for the unmodified gel calcination at 550 membrane while Tio2 modified is found to be 80.05% and CTAC modified 85.44% respectively.

description: Integration of deworming, growth monitoring, vitamin A supplementation, family planning, and insecticide-treated bednet distribution during routine immunization or campaign delivery has been used in many countries to achieve sustainable development and universal health coverage goals. The comparative effectiveness of integrated vs. non-integrated health care services has been investigated in several published reviews, including reviews with a specialized focus on immunization. Cost savings are seen as a major reason to integrate programs; however, none of these reviews found evidence addressing the costs and cost-effectiveness of integration of immunization and primary health care services (although there was cost evidence for integration of other health care services). A review by the EPIC team at Harvard, with support from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, aimed to fill this evidence gap by describing the available research on the costs and cost-effectiveness of integrating immunization with primary health care services in low- and middle-income countries.

description: Abstract Background The incidence of burns has significantly increased over the last decades. Although there is an extensive amount of literature on burns related injuries in Kenya, there is no evidence of studies which have examined barriers to quality nursing burn care in public health facilities in the country.
 Objective To examine factors hindering quality nursing burn care at Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital.
 Material and Methods Six variables were assessed namely nurse age, nursing responsibility, availability of consumables, pre and post-operative care, staffing and the equipment which is always working and in good condition.
 Results Availability of consumables negatively predicted barriers to quality nursing care among nurses who were currently working in the burn unit (t = -2.37; p = 0.02). And a positive predictor among those who had worked in the burn unit before (t = 2.00; p = 0.05). Equipment always working and in good condition was a positive predictor among nurses who had never worked in the burn unit (t = 2.38; p = 0.02).
 Conclusion Staffing, proper working equipment and availability of consumables are major barriers to the provision of quality nursing for burn patients.

description: Moving from teaching to learning paradigm requires serious and courageous work about assessment aspects. Teachers and students have in fact to leave reassuring situations and to accept a margin of risk. The experience Training assessment skill aims to generate educational innovation together with the students by engaging them on three key aspects: judgements, criteria and feedback. This way of doing allows not only to increase the transparency process, satisfying the increasingly pressing demand of accountability by the system, but above all to make assessment a resource for the promotion of deep learning. Process and product data, presented from the students’ perspective, can lead to develop more general reflections on assessment meaning in higher education. Apprendere le competenze valutative all’università: studenti all’opera Il passaggio dal paradigma dell’istruzione a quello dell’apprendimento richiede un serio e coraggioso lavoro in campo valutativo. Docenti e studenti sono chiamati a compiere uno sforzo notevole poiché entrambi devono abbandonare situazioni rassicuranti e accettare un margine di rischio. L’esperienza Allenare la competenza valutativa si propone di generare innovazione didattica insieme agli studenti attivandoli su tre aspetti del processo valutativo: la formulazione dei giudizi, la definizione dei criteri e la stesura di feedback di miglioramento. Sottesa vi è l’intenzione non solo di aumentare la trasparenza del processo, soddisfacendo anche alla richiesta sempre più pressante in termini di accountability da parte del sistema, ma soprattutto di rendere la valutazione una risorsa per la promozione di un apprendimento profondo. I dati di processo e quelli di risultato, restituiti privilegiando la prospettiva degli studenti, permettono di sviluppare alcune riflessioni più generali sul senso della valutazione nel contesto universitario.

description: This paper presents a reflection on the topic of the university professor’s performance. A model (SFERA) is described, it allows to evaluate the professor’s performance; moreover, descriptive data and correlations show the relationship among the model’s dimensions (synchrony, strengths, energy, rhythm and activation) and the perceived teaching self-efficacy and the representations of evaluation. It emerged the importance of training program and the usefulness of helping professors reflect on their performance and on the possible improvements to be taken to support student learning and successful teaching. Results also suggest starting training experiences that permit the university professor to reflect on his/her performance in the classroom and during the exams, helping him/her to identify the appropriate strategies to improve and to face the challenges of one’s role, through transformative learning. La prestazione del docente universitario e i suoi legami con l’autoefficacia didattica e la valutazione Il contributo presenta una riflessione sul tema della prestazione lavorativa del docente universitario. Viene illustrato un modello (SFERA) che permette di valutare la prestazione del docente universitario; inoltre sono presentati alcuni dati descrittivi e correlazioni che mostrano i legami delle dimensioni del modello (Sincronia, punti di Forza, Energia, Ritmo e Attivazione) con le percezioni di autoefficacia didattica e le rappresentazioni della valutazione. Emerge l’importanza di percorsi di formazione sul tema e l’utilità di aiutare i docenti a riflettere sulla propria prestazione e sui possibili miglioramenti da adottare per sostenere l’apprendimento degli studenti e la riuscita didattica. I risultati suggeriscono inoltre di avviare esperienze formative che consentano al docente di riflettere sulla propria prestazione in aula e durante gli esami, aiutandolo a individuare le strategie adeguate per migliorarsi e per far fronte alle sfide del proprio ruolo, attraverso un apprendimento trasformativo.

[...] It’s not a linear story – it appears linear to us [...] but there is nothing linear at all.“ Wer mit zeitbasierten Medien arbeitet kommt zu ganz ähnlichen Ergebnissen. Eine Video-Timeline ist eine Montage von Einzelbildern deren Reihenfolge nicht festgelegt ist, sondern beliebig sortiert und umstrukturiert werden kann. Für Julian Barbour sind diese Einzelbilder Momente die ihren eigenen Rahmen verdienen: „Each moment, each now is very different to each other. A Now has no duration. Nows are eternal.“

description: Therapeutics Letter 36 examines benefits and harms of new drugs rosiglitazone, tolterodine, bupropion, and doxazosin. Conclusions: In patients with type 2 diabetes rosiglitazone improves some surrogate markers and worsens others. Long-term trials are required to know whether this class of drugs reduces morbidity and mortality outcomes. Tolterodine and oxybutynin have similar but limited efficacy in patients with overactive bladder symptoms. Dry mouth is a common side effect and occurs more frequently with oxybutynin (78%) than with tolterodine (40%). Bupropion has antidepressant and smoking cessation effects through a unique mechanism of action. The adverse effect profile is different from other antidepressants and includes convulsions and serious allergic reactions. Doxazosin and other alpha-blockers (terazosin, Hytrin® and prazosin, Minipress®) should not be used as first-line drugs in the management of elevated blood pressure.
Discovery of Neurocognitive Phenotypes of Autism By Analyzing Functional Connectivity in the Default Mode Network and Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex

description: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder usually presenting as reduced social interaction, lessened verbal communication, and repetitive behavior. Diagnosing autism spectrum disorder is extremely difficult because of its wide variety of symptoms, so it can only be diagnosed through behavioral tests and analysis of developmental history. Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) can help researchers discover a neural substrate for autism spectrum disorder to diagnose it earlier. One prominent fMRI database for autism spectrum disorder research is the Autism Brain Imaging Data Exchange, a large-scale collection of anonymized functional MRI scans subdivided by age, gender, handedness, and scores on behavioral assessments.
 This analysis focused on two brain networks: the default mode network (DMN), which is active when minds wander, and the executive network, which is active during the performance of tasks. The medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), posterior cingulate cortex (PCC), and angular gyrus are nodes of the default mode network, and the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) is the main node in the executive network. Both networks are affected by autism spectrum disorder.
 This research used preprocessed resting-state fMRI data to establish neurocognitive phenotypes for autism spectrum disorder. Bivariate correlation was used to compare connectivity in the default mode network and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex between autism spectrum disorder fMRI scans and control fMRI scans, and these differences were analyzed for correlations with each patient’s assessment scores. After the Benjamini-Hochberg procedure was applied to reduce the false discovery rate, analysis of these metrics revealed that in autism spectrum disorder patients there was underconnectivity between the right posterior cingulate cortex and the right medial prefrontal cortex, while in control patients there was overconnectivity between the right angular gyrus and left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex. Autism spectrum disorder is extremely heritable, so phenotypic research is absolutely necessary for discovering more about the genetic causes of autism spectrum disorder, which will speed up autism spectrum disorder diagnosis and help researchers develop more targeted treatments for autism spectrum disorder.

description: In this paper we investigate the impact of decryption failures on the chosen-ciphertext security of (Ring/Module)-Learning With Errors and (Ring/Module)-Learning with Rounding based primitives. Our analysis is split in three parts: First, we use a technique to increase the failure rate of these schemes called failure boosting. Based on this technique we investigate the minimal effort for an adversary to obtain a failure in 3 cases: when he has access to a quantum computer, when he mounts a multi-target attack and when he can only perform a limited number of oracle queries. Secondly, we examine the amount of information that an adversary can derive from failing ciphertexts. Finally, these techniques are combined in an attack on (Ring/Module)-LWE and (Ring/Module)-LWR based schemes with decryption failures. We provide both a theoretical analysis as well as an implementation to calculate the security impact and show that an attacker can significantly reduce the security of (Ring/Module)-LWE/LWR based schemes that have a relatively high failure rate. However, for the candidates of the NIST post-quantum standardization process that we assessed, the number of required oracle queries is above practical limits due to their conservative parameter choices.

title: Design and Synthesis of macrocyclic FKBP51 ligands

Publisher: name: UNSPECIFIED
Year: 2022

description: The FK506-binding protein 51 (FKBP51) emerged as a key player in several diseases like stress-related disorders, chronic pain, and obesity. Linear analogs of FK506 called SAFit1 and SAFit2, the most advanced FKBP51 inhibitors so far, were shown to be highly selective for FKBP51 over its closest homolog FKBP52, allowing the proof-of-concept studies in animal models. However, the SAFit ligands show several liabilities in their drug-like parameters and further modifications are needed for future drug developments. Due to the shallow binding site of FKBP51, the creation of low molecular mass inhibitors based on the SAFit scaffold remained unfruitful. Here, we pursued a different strategy and chose a structure-based approach to implement the SAFit scaffold into a macrocyclic framework. Macrocycles are a compound class known to be able to cope with difficult drug targets and key drug properties like solubility, metabolic stability, and oral bioavailability often benefit from the cyclization of linear ligands. Hence, we designed a synthesis strategy to vary linkage, linker length and functionalization and synthesized the first FKBP51-selective, macrocyclic ligand library. All 33 macrocycles retained high FKBP51 affinity and selectivity over FKBP52 and the incorporation of polar functionalities further enhanced affinity. Six high-resolution crystal structures of macrocyclic inhibitors in complex with FKBP51 confirmed the desired selectivity-enabling binding mode. Our results show that macrocyclization is a viable strategy to target the shallow FKBP51 binding site selectively. Furthermore, we present the synthesis of multi-gram amounts of SAFit2 as well as an inactive SAFit2 diastereomer and deuterated SAFit analogs. These compounds will contribute to high-quality research on FKBP51 in cellular and animal models and help to decipher its biochemical and biological role.

description: In Museen, Ausstellungen, Galerien und auf dem Kunstmarkt waren und sind Künstlerinnen immer noch wesentlich weniger präsent als ihre männlichen Kollegen. Auch in der bildenden Kunst, ihren Marktstrukturen und Institutionen findet sich die binär konzeptionalisierte Geschlechterdifferenz, die mit Macht- und Unterdrückungsverhältnissen einhergeht. Dies lässt sich gut ablesen an den Sammlungsbeständen der Museen weltweit, die Ausdruck eines bestehenden Kunstkanons sind. In ihnen spiegelt sich u. a. der systematische Ausschluss von Frauen und nicht westlich geprägter Kunst.

In der Ausstellung „ANDERS NORMAL! Revision einer Sehschwäche“ wurde dies anhand der eigenen Sammlungsbestände im Märkischen Museum Witten kritisch beleuchtet und die eigene museale Praxis dabei hinterfragt.

description: Flipped-type classrooms represent an instructional model which is generally acknowledged as promoting learner engagement and autonomy. However, when flipped courses are not redesigned according to constructivist principles and innovative evaluation practices are not adopted, there is the risk that motivation and learning results are lower than expected. The purpose of this study was to compare: (i) class attendances, (ii) students’ overall performance results, and (iii) students’ perceptions with respect to two differently designed flipped-type Italian writing modules in two sets of Erasmus students. Whereas the control group followed the lessons in a traditional flipped mode, students in the experimental group were given precise deliveries about the activities to be carried out of class, carried out group activities during the lessons and were subject to in-class formative assessment. The results showed that the experimental group class attendance and scores in a final writing assignment were higher than the control group. In addition, their perceptions on the effectiveness of learning were more positive than those of the control group. Progettazione e valutazione dell’aula capovolta: uno studio sull’apprendimento e sulle percezioni nel contesto universitario Le classi capovolte rappresentano un modello didattico che favorisce il coinvolgimento e l’autonomia degli studenti. Tuttavia, soprattutto quando i corsi non vengono riprogettati secondo principi costruttivistici e non vengono adottate pratiche di valutazione innovative, c’è il rischio che i risultati in termini di motivazione e apprendimento siano inferiori alle aspettative. Lo scopo di questo studio è di confrontare: (i) la frequenza, (ii) i livelli complessivi di performance, e (iii) le percezioni degli studenti rispetto a un modulo di scrittura in lingua italiana destinato a studenti Erasmus. Mentre il gruppo di controllo seguiva le lezioni in una modalità di classe capovolta più tradizionale, gli studenti del gruppo sperimentale ricevevano consegne precise sulle attività da svolgere prima delle lezioni, imparavano in gruppo durante le lezioni ed erano soggetti a valutazione formativa in classe. I risultati dimostrano che per gli studenti istruiti nell’ambiente di apprendimento potenziato, la frequenza e i punteggi nella prova finale di scrittura erano più alti del gruppo di controllo. Inoltre, le loro percezioni sull’efficacia dell’apprendimento erano più positive.

description: The self-assessment of learning is a process that guides the student in the study and allows him to understand how to perform a task, determine the quality of his performance, compare himself with others on the basis of a shared system of quality criteria. Systematically used, self-assessment can be a vehicle for lasting improvement and reflect on the future performance of the student, in his university, human and professional career, allowing him to develop a working method. This article discusses the possibilities related to self-assessment in university education. The article also describes an empirical research, carried out on students of the three-year degree course in Educational Sciences, aimed at probing the perception that students have of the potential inherent in self-assessment, their ways of using it, and the benefits obtainable in terms of predictive ability of the outcome they will get on the exam.

Spunti dalla ricerca sul campo L’autovalutazione dell’apprendimento è un processo che orienta l’allievo nello studio e gli permette di capire come svolgere un compito, determinare la qualità della propria prestazione, confrontarsi con gli altri sulla base di un sistema condiviso di criteri qualitativi. Utilizzata in modo sistematico l’autovalutazione può essere veicolo di miglioramento durevole e riflettersi sulle prestazioni future dell’allievo, nella sua carriera universitaria, umana e professionale, consentendogli di sviluppare un metodo di lavoro. Il presente articolo discute le possibilità connesse all’autovalutazione nella formazione universitaria. L’articolo descrive anche una ricerca empirica, svolta sugli studenti del corso di laurea triennale in Scienze dell’Educazione, volta a sondare la percezione che gli studenti hanno delle potenzialità insite nell’autovalutazione, i loro modi di utilizzarla, e i benefici ottenibili in termini di capacità previsiva dell’esito che otterranno all’esame.

California and the Gold Standard During the American Civil War
Creators: name: Shearer, Ronald Alexander, 1932-
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2017

description: In late December 1861 the New York banks stopped redeeming their monetary liabilities in gold or silver legal tender coins. The New York suspension was followed by banks throughout the east and midwest and by the government of the United States. Combined with a subsequent act that declared United States notes (“greenbacks”) to be legal tender, the suspension effectively put most of the Union on an inconvertible paper standard. The glaring exceptions were on the Pacific coast where support for the gold standard was strong and where some states remained on the gold throughout the period of inconvertibility. The western recalcitrance with respect to the greenback standard is an interesting and puzzling episode in the American monetary history. Several questions suggest themselves. What does it mean to say that some far western states remained on the gold standard? Given the presumed supremacy of the federal government in monetary affairs, how were these states able to remain on gold while the rest of the country was on an inconvertible paper standard? What were the consequences of remaining on gold? The purpose of this paper is to explore these issues. The scope of this paper is limited in two ways. First, although the period of inconvertibility in the east extended from December 30, 1961 to January 1, 1879, I focus on the Civil War period and its 1 immediate aftermath. This was the period during which the western commitment to gold was aggressively asserted and was placed under severe political stress. Second, I limit the analysis to California. Other western states and territories either adhered to gold (Oregon and Idaho) or contained strong but defeated support for the gold standard (Washington and Nevada) but California was the leader and the lynch- pin in the western gold standard movement. If California had abandoned gold, the role of San Francisco as the financial centre for the coast made it is almost certain that the others would have also. For this reason, understanding why and how California remained on gold is fundamental to understanding the coexistence of the gold standard and an inconvertible paper standard in the United States at this time.

description: Assessment is an emerging educational topic and the need to make education a practice aimed at improving university student’s learning is growing. The interest in self-assessment as a lifelong learning strategy is also part of this framework. A systematic review of the literature was conducted in order to investigate self-assessment as a learning strategy in the university context and to understand its real benefits. The obtained evidences highlight the positive aspects and the potential of using self-assessment as a learning strategy for university students. L’autovalutazione nel contesto universitario: una revisione sistematica della letteratura La valutazione risulta un tema emergente in ambito educativo e cresce la necessità di ripensarla come una pratica volta a migliorare l’apprendimento degli studenti universitari. È in tale quadro che si colloca anche l’interesse verso l’autovalutazione come strategia di apprendimento e di lifelong learning. Allo scopo di indagare l’autovalutazione come strategia di apprendimento nel contesto universitario, è stata condotta una revisione sistematica della letteratura con il fine di comprenderne i reali benefici. Le evidenze raggiunte mettono in luce un quadro positivo delle potenzialità di impiego dell’autovalutazione come strategia di apprendimento per gli studenti universitari.

description: The present study examined how group size may impact students’ participation, perceptions, and work quality in an online peer assessment activity. One hundred sixty-three college freshmen were randomly assigned into three conditions that consisted of either 3-student groups, 6-student groups, or 9-student groups. Students reviewed each other’s projects within their groups. Upon receiving peer feedback, students improved their own work. The data analysis suggested that students in bigger groups more actively participated in peer review discussion than students in smaller groups. For students’ perceptions, students’ responses to SCS and IMI questionnaires did not show considerable differences between the three groups. For work quality, it seemed that students in bigger groups outperformed students in smaller groups. Pratiche di valutazione fra pari in un contesto on line: quale impatto ha la numerosità del gruppo? Il presente lavoro considera l’impatto della numerosità del gruppo su partecipazione, percezioni e qualità del lavoro degli studenti in attività on line di valutazione fra pari. 163 matricole sono state distribuite, in modo casuale, in gruppi di lavoro da tre, da sei o da nove studenti. Essi hanno esaminato i prodotti dei pari all’interno del proprio gruppo. Dopo aver ricevuto feedback dai pari, gli studenti hanno migliorato il proprio lavoro. L’analisi dei dati ha permesso di rilevare che gli studenti di gruppi più numerosi partecipano più attivamente alla discussione di peer review, rispetto a quelli di gruppi meno numerosi. Non vi sono, invece, differenze significative di risposta ai questionari SCS e IMI. Considerando la qualità del lavoro, si è constatato che gli studenti di gruppi più numerosi ottengono prodotti migliori di quelli di gruppi meno numerosi.

description: This study aims to increase the pozzolanic reactivity of metakaolin (MK) in Portland cement (PC) blends by adding additional calcium hydroxide (CH_add) to the initial mixture. Cement paste samples were prepared with PC, MK and water with a water-to-binder ratio of 0.6. Cement replacement ratios were chosen from 5 to 40 wt.% MK. For higher replacement ratios, i.e., 20, 30 and 40 wt.% MK, CH_add was included in the mixture. CH_add-to-MK ratios of 0.1, 0.25 and 0.5 were investigated. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) was carried out to study the pozzolanic reactivity after 1, 7, 28 and 56 days of hydration. A modified mass balance approach was used to normalize thermogravimetric data and to calculate the calcium hydroxide (CH) consumption of samples with CH_add. Results showed that, without CH_add, a replacement ratio of 30 wt.% or higher results in the complete consumption of CH after 28 days at the latest. In these samples, the pozzolanic reaction of MK turned out to be restricted by the amount of CH available from the cement hydration. The increased amount of CH in the samples with CH_add resulted in an enhanced pozzolanic reaction of MK as confirmed by CH consumption measurements from TGA
title: Drop-Downs of an Outer Rotor Flywheel in Different Planetary Touch-Down Bearing Designs

description: With an increase in renewable energy in the electricity grid, more storage capacity for grid stabilization and energy flexibilization is necessary. Dynamic grid stabilization is one possible application for flywheels. To increase the energy density of flywheels, they can be built as highly integrated outer rotor systems. The losses of the flywheel are reduced by magnetic levitation and operation under vacuum conditions. In the case of the failure or overload of the active magnetic bearings, the system needs touch-down bearings to prevent system destruction. Planetary touch-down bearings consisting of several small bearing units circumferentially distributed around the stator are especially suited for these systems. In the literature, these planetary touch-down bearings are rarely investigated, especially the number of bearing units. Therefore, this paper investigates the influence of the number of touch-down bearing elements in simulations and experiments for an 8-element and a 6-element touch-down bearing arrangement. For the investigation, drop-downs at four different speeds were performed. Simulation and experimental results showed that, for the 6-element touch-down bearing, in contrast to the 8-element touch-down bearing, maximal velocity did not increase with the drop-down speed. Therefore, the touch-down bearing arrangement with fewer elements is preferrable.
Antiplatelet Chemoprevention of Occlusive Vascular Events and Death

description: Therapeutics Letter 37 summarizes the benefit and harm from taking four common antiplatelet drugs: acetylsalicylic acid, ticlopidine, clopidogrel and dipyridamole for prevention of cardiovascular events. Conclusions: For secondary prevention, ASA, 80 -325 mg/day, is proven effective for the prevention of vascular occlusive events for patients with established disease. There is little evidence of benefit beyond a maximum dose of ASA of 325 mg/day. Other antiplatelet drugs should be used for patients allergic to or intolerant of ASA. Patient characteristics, benefits, harm and cost should be considered when selecting an agent other than ASA. Combination of ASA with other antiplatelet agents requires further study.
