description: Flexed knee gait is a common gait dysfunction in individuals with bilateral spastic cerebral palsy (BSCP) and is often addressed with single event multilevel surgery (SEMLS). SEMLS has been shown to have positive short-term effects especially on sagittal knee joint kinematics with less knee flexion during stance phase. However, mid- and long-term observations are rare, and results are reported in discrete parameters or summary statistics where temporal aspects are not considered. Does the improved knee joint kinematics after patellar tendon shortening (PTS) as part of SEMLS persist in the long-term in individuals with BSCP? Data of instrumented gait analysis of twelve participants (females/males: 5/7, mean age: 15.3 ± 3.4 years) with BSCP treated with PTS as part of SEMLS were retrospectively analyzed. Participants had had follow-up gait analysis 1, 5 and 7 years or more after surgery. Three-dimensional lower extremity kinematics of walking at a self-selected speed were collected using a 12-camera motion capture system and 4 embedded force plates. One-dimensional statistical parametric mapping (SPM) was used for data analysis, permitting time point comparisons of continuous data. Time point comparison revealed no significant differences in the sagittal plane for knee joint kinematics (p > 0.05) over the tree measurement time points. Hip and ankle joint kinematics as well as normalised walking speed remained stable over the observation period. This is the first study investigating lower extremity kinematics in patients with BSCP and flexed knee gait after SEMLS with SPM. Results demonstrate that positive effects on sagittal knee joint kinematics of PTS as part of SEMLS persist up to 9 years after surgery and progressivity does not reoccur. Thus, if clinical examination indicates an operation in individuals with BSCP, improved kinematics through SEMLS persist into adulthood. With the relatively new statistical procedure SPM gait can be displayed and analysed in established joint angle curves making them easier to understand (e.g. physiotherapists, movement scientists, physicians).

description: The main objective of this research project was to identify current cocoa production practices and determine the principal factors that affect the adoption of sustainable farming practices and socio-environmental certifications among small-scale cocoa farmers in Ghana. The study was conducted in two cocoa districts (Atwima Mponua and Ahafoano North) in the Ashanti Region of Ghana. A combination of stratified, systematic and random sampling techniques was employed to select 439 cocoa producing households for the study. A standardized structured questionnaire was used to gather field data through personal interviews. Results showed that membership in farmers’ organizations, awareness of certification and size of cocoa farm were the main determinants of willingness to adopt sustainable cocoa production methods and certifications. Whereas membership in farmer-based organizations and awareness about different aspects related to certification had a significant positive effect on adoption of cocoa certification, farm size tended to have a significant negative effect on adoption of certification. Formation of cocoa farmers’ associations/organizations in various communities, creation of awareness about certification and continuous education of cocoa farmers are recommended to stimulate adoption of cocoa certification to achieve sustainability in the Ghanaian cocoa industry.

description: Urban dumpsites are excellent sources of microbes which can biodegrade numerous materials present in waste. This study focused on the assessment of the mycodegradation potential of LDPE (Low-Density Polyethylene) by ascomycetous microfungi from urban dumpsites in Sri Lanka. Out of the collection obtained from five localities in Sri Lanka, eight species of ascomycetes, viz. Talaromyces purpureogenus (GF85), T. beijingensis (GGF03), Penicillium citrinum (GF89), Purpureocillium lilacinum (GF99), Aspergillus flavus (GF94), Aspergillus sp. (GF82), A. terreus (MMF08), and Fusarium falciforme (GF77), demonstrated mycodegradation potential based on the primary screening. All the isolates were accurately identified based on morphology, Sanger sequencing, and phylogenetic analysis of nuclear internal transcribed spacer region with 5.8 s ribosomal DNA (ITS). Among the isolates, T. purpureogenus GF85 showed a 13–17% weight reduction of LDPE. The same fungus showed evidence of remarkable ability to cause biodeterioration of LDPE by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). This study highlights the significance of extensive sampling, morphological, molecular characterisation, and comparative analysis of fungi from unexplored habitats towards developing sustainable solutions for the polyethylene waste crisis.

description: Tourism in Vietnam has become an important sector of the economy. Its environmental impacts include the quantity of waste generated. This study aims to assess the compositions of solid waste generated within diverse accommodation service establishments (ASEs) in Hoi An City to understand the differences across accommodation types and generating areas. The analysis indicated that most of the ASEs provided multiple services and waste components differed among generating areas. Initiatives for optimising the recovered material flows from waste at the ASEs were proposed. A decentralised-centralised hybrid model was suggested as a suitable approach for waste circulation in the accommodation service sector. The training of staff in the ASEs and tourists, as well, is crucial. So is the participation of social entities in the city’s waste management.

description: This study focuses on isolating, optimising and characterising cellulose from Peltophorum pterocarpum pods and synthesising cellulose nanofibres (CNF) using a eutectic solvent (ES). Three methods were evaluated: Soxhlet extraction, formic acid, and autoclave-assisted pre-treatment. The autoclave-assisted method yielded the highest cellulose content, approximately 43.6% w/w, at 121°C for 40 min. CP-MAS13C NMR and FTIR spectroscopy confirmed the cellulose’s carbon atoms and functional groups, and XRD analysis indicated a high crystallinity index (82.92%) and the transformation from cellulose I to cellulose II. SEM and TGA analyses assessed the morphological and thermal properties. CNFs were synthesised using a green solvent (ChCl/Lactic acid, 1:2) at 80°C, with TEM confirming their nanofibrous structure. The CNF zeta particle size was 262.1 nm, with a potential of −19.0 mV. The use of ES in the CNF synthesis is a novel and eco-friendly process that aligns with 5 of the 12 principles of green chemistry.

description: The end-grain bonding of timber components using the Timber Structures 3.0 technology (TS3) is an advancing construction method in timber engineering. This technology allows the realisation of any plate size by bonding plates on-site where low temperatures influence the performance. Therefore, investigations are underway to evaluate the influence of the low temperatures on the curing process. Additionally, research is in progress to discover techniques to reduce any adverse effects of low curing temperatures on the mechanical properties of the bond. The implementation of particular measures, such as the inclusion of milled heating wires into the joint and the pre-heating of the joint with a hot air blower, has been identified as advancing the potential for grouting even in the face of low external temperatures, as recent research has indicated.
The art of dieting: Exposure to thin sculptures effortlessly reduces the intake of unhealthy food in motivated eaters

Publisher: name: Elsevier

description: Thin, human-like sculptures by the artist Alberto Giacometti, applied as environmental cues, have been found to facilitate dieting by reducing chocolate intake and promoting healthy snack choices. However, the processes underlying this “Giacometti effect” have been left unexplored so far. The present study therefore first examines the effortlessness of the effect. More specifically, it aims to determine whether the sculptures reduce unhealthy food intake when only few cognitive resources for their influence are available. For this purpose, the participants in a chip tasting were given the cognitive load task of memorizing either 10 or two digits during the tasting. The results indicate that the sculptures reduced participants’ chip intake independent of the cognitive load. Thus, they influenced participants’ eating behavior even when only few cognitive resources were available. The results also indicate that the sculptures reduced chip intake only when the participants liked the chips. The sculptures could thus exert their influence when individuals were motivated to eat and the dieting cues were useful. The finding that the Giacometti sculptures, applied as environmental dieting or health cues, influenced individuals when only few cognitive resources were available, could indicate a crucial advantage for the application of these cues in complex, real-world settings.

description: The potential of linear vibration friction as an innovative means of producing increases in both surface density and surface hardness was explored. The influence of processing pressure and time on the degree of surface densification, surface hardness and surface elasticity was investigated. It was found that surface hardness (measured as Brinell hardness) was positively correlated with densification ratio. Furthermore, surface elasticity, that is the ability of the surface to recover elastically after indentation during the Brinell hardness test, could be increased by up to 33% depending on the degree of surface densification. The temperature rise due to friction was also studied. During processing, it was found that the temperature rise on both the radial and tangential surfaces was positively correlated with the processing pressure and time.

description: Hemeroby and naturalness are indicators of ecosystem health and can be used to assess the state of aquatic macrophyte communities in floodplain landscapes under anthropogenic pressure. This article verifies the hypothesis that hemeroby and naturalness are distinguished by specific spatial patterns. Hemeroby is sensitive to changes in the level of anthropogenic pressure under conditions of a high level of ecosystem transformation. Naturalness is capable of responding to environmental disturbances of both natural and anthropogenic origin and is sensitive to changes in the state of ecosystems as they approach natural conditions. The variability of the naturalness of aquatic macrophyte communities does not depend on the direction of spatial patterns. Accounting for the directionality of spatial patterns provides a better explanation for the small-scale component of community hemeroby variability.

description: Evaluation of waste management practices in leading pharmaceutical companies was conducted using disclosures from their annual and sustainability reports. The study identified differences in practices among the companies and examined the multidimensional nature of waste management. Seven top Indian pharmaceutical companies (Group ‘A’) listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) were selected for analysis. A Waste Management Measurement (WMM) index, based on the ‘Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Sustainability Reporting Standards 2020’, resulted across three dimensions: waste generated, waste prevented and diverted, and waste disposed of. Content analysis classified relevant information and mathematical tools quantified the data. Results showed sub-standard performance and significant differences in waste management, particularly in waste generation and disposal. Reporting practices for waste prevention and diversion were consistent among the companies, indicating a focus on these areas. The study also noted selective disclosure practices and a lack of transparency in reporting waste generation. It recommended sector-wide efforts to improve waste management and address climate change and environmental sustainability issues.

Subjects: Schoolchildren Overweight Diet Physical activity Sedentary behavior

description: Background Overweight in children and adolescents have increased significantly and are a major public health problem. To allow international comparisons, Switzerland joined the European study ‘ENERGY’ cross sectional survey consortium that investigated the prevalence of overweight and obesity as well as selected dietary, physical and sedentary behaviors of 10–12 years old pupils across seven other countries in Europe. The aims of the present study was to compare body composition and energy-balance related behaviors of Swiss schoolchildren to those of the seven European ENERGY-countries and to analyze overweight and energy-balance related behaviors of Swiss children according to socio-demographic factors. Method A school-based cross-sectional study among 10–12 year old children was conducted in Switzerland and seven other European countries using a standardized protocol. Body height, weight and waist-circumference were measured by trained research assistants. Energy-balance related behaviors –i.e. selected dietary, physical activity and screen-viewing behaviors were assessed by questionnaires. Weight status and behaviors in Switzerland were compared to the seven European ENERGY countries. Within the Swiss sample, analyses stratified by gender, parental education and ethnicity were performed. Results Data of 546 Swiss children (mean age 11.6±0.8y, 48% girls) were obtained and compared to the ENERGY- results (N=7.148; mean age 11.5±0.8y, 48% girls). In Switzerland significantly less children were overweight (13.9%) or obese (2.3%) compared to the average across the ENERGY-countries (23.7% and 4.7%, respectively), and were even somewhat lower than the ENERGY countries with the lowest prevalence. Sugar sweetened beverage intakes and breakfast habits of Swiss children did not differ significantly from those of ENERGY. However, the mean time devoted by Swiss children to walking or cycling to school and attending sports activities was significantly higher and screen time significantly lower compared to the other ENERGY-countries. Within the Swiss, sample relatively large and consistent differences were observed between children from native and non-native ethnicity. Conclusions The prevalence of overweight and obesity among Swiss children are substantial but significantly lower compared to all other European ENERGY-Partners, probably due to the fact that Swiss children were found to be more active and less sedentary comparing to the rest of the European sample.

description: Der Fragebogen erfasst über Selbstauskünfte Einstellungen von Fußballspielern zu fairem Verhalten sowie Fairness im Spiel als Aspekte von "Fair Play". Die SFFB basieren auf einer Differenzierung von "Fair Play" in formelle Fairness und informelle Fairness (Lenk, 1964). Sie umfasst 24 Items, die zwei Subskalen zugeordnet werden: (1) "Bereitschaft zu taktischen Regelverstößen (zu formeller Unfairness)" (k = 19) und (2) "Bereitschaft zu informeller Fairness" (k = 5). Reliabilität: Die interne Konsistenz (Cronbachs Alpha) der Skala "Bereitschaft zu taktischen Regelverstößen" betrug Alpha = .94, die der Subskala "Bereitschaft zu informeller Fairness" Alpha = .76. Validität: Für die Validität der Differenzierung zwischen den zwei Subskalen spricht ihre geringe Korrelation von r = -.24. Mit dem Validitätskriterium "Tatsächliche Regelverstöße" (operationalisiert durch einen Index, in dem die Anzahl gelber, gelb-roter und roter Karten eines Spielers in der Vorsaison an der Anzahl seiner Spieleinsätze relativiert wurde) waren die "Bereitschaft zu taktischen Regelverstößen" zu r = .36 und die "Bereitschaft zu informeller Fairness" zu r = -.23 ebenfalls bedeutsam, wenngleich niedrig korreliert.

It comprises 24 items that are assigned to two subscales: (1) "Willingness to tactical violations of rules (to formal unfairness)" (k = 19) and (2) "Willingness to engage in informal fairness" (k = 5). Reliability: The internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha) of the scale "readiness to tactical violations of rules" was alpha = .94, that of the subscale "readiness for informal fairness" was alpha = .94. Alpha = .76. Validity: The validity of the differentiation between the two subscales is indicated by their low correlation of r = -.24. With the validity criterion "Actual rule violations" (operationalized by an index in which the number of yellow, yellow-red and red cards of a player in the previous season was relativized by the number of his bets), the "Willingness to tactical rule violations" to r = .36 and the "Willingness to informal fairness" to r = -.23 were also significant, albeit with a low correlation.

description: Die SWAP-200 ist ein Q-Sort-Test, der die beständigen Muster der Persönlichkeit, des intrapsychischen und zwischenmenschlichen Funktionierens in Gesundheit und Pathologie beschreibt. In die SWAP-200 flossen trieb-, objektbeziehungstheoretisch und ich-psychologisch fundierte psychoanalytische Erkenntnisse und aktuelle Forschungsergebnisse zu Affektregulation, Charakterpathologie, Beziehungsqualität, kognitiven Funktionen sowie zu psychischer Gesundheit ein. Das SWAP-200-Profil eines einzelnen Patienten kann in der Auswertung einerseits mit den DSM-IV-Kriterien der Achse II korreliert werden, andererseits mit empirisch festgelegten Prototypen. Somit ergibt sich als Endresultat eine kategoriale und dimensionale Diagnose der Persönlichkeit. Die SWAP-200 umfasst ein Set von 200 Aussagen. Reliabilität: Es liegen keine Angaben vor. Validität: Die hohe Korrelation zwischen Prototyp und einer jeweiligen Persönlichkeitsstörung belegt die Konvergenzvalidität. Die niedrigen Korrelationen zwischen Prototyp und den unterschiedlichen Persönlichkeitsstörungen sprechen für eine hohe diskriminative Validität. Zudem konnten inhaltlich identische Itemgruppierungen durch konfirmatorisch-faktorenanalytisches Vorgehen und auch dieselbe übergeordnete drei- bzw. vier-faktorielle Struktur repliziert werden, womit eine ausreichend gute Kriteriums- und Konstruktvalidität berichtet wird.
description: The SWAP-200 is a Q-Sort test that describes the persistent patterns of personality, intrapsychic and interpersonal functioning in health and pathology. SWAP-200 incorporates drive theory, object relationship theory and ego-psychology based psychoanalytic findings and current research on affect regulation, character pathology, relationship quality, cognitive functions and mental health. The SWAP-200 profile of an individual patient can be correlated in the evaluation on the one hand with the DSM-IV criteria of Axis II and on the other hand with empirically established prototypes. Thus, the final result is a categorical and dimensional diagnosis of the personality. The SWAP-200 comprises a set of 200 statements. Reliability: No data are available. Validity: The high correlation between prototype and a respective personality disorder proves the convergence validity. The low correlations between prototype and the different personality disorders speak for a high discriminative validity. In addition, item groupings with identical content could be replicated by means of a confirmatory factor-analytical procedure and also the same superordinate three- or four-factorial structure, thus reporting a sufficiently good criterion and construct validity.

description: This Capstone Project aims for more efficient planning and resource utilization in the Copper process line at Muller Middle East Company in the Kingdom of Bahrain. The company is a globally known copper-producing company. The company faces a delay in its production line, which results in low productivity, production lag, and high machine downtime. This project aims to use Industrial Engineering concepts and techniques to analyze the Muller Middle East production line. All concepts will be used to analyze the gathered data to develop an accurate simulation model that will be used by the production coordinator and supervisors for production planning.This project uses qualitative and quantitative data-gathering techniques and concepts to gather relevant data. The collected data aids in providing an upgraded simulation and recommendations, through site observations, supervisor meetings, and gathering historical/current data to gain a deeper insight and perspective into the issue. Finally, the improved simulated process flow will be implemented after detecting the root causes of the delay in the production line. Overall, this capstone project aims to identify bottlenecks, increase material flow in the process streamline, and maximize production efficiency.

description: People with severe mental illness frequently have somatic health risks which are only rarely diagnosed and treated. The objective of this study was to investigate the prevalence of somatic health risks of outpatients and day hospital patients with severe mental health problems and to register nursing interventions. The German version of the Health Improvement Profile (HIP) was used to survey 146 psychiatric patients diagnosed with schizophrenia and affective disorders. The most frequent health risks are “abdominal measurement” (78%), “lipids” (76%), “Body Mass Index” (70%) and “smoking” (61%). In only 13 of 27 health risks more than half the patients at risk received interventions. The substantial quantity of somatic health risks confirms the necessity of the systematic assessment and treatment of these patients.

description: Dans notre article, nous associons des données fiscales à d’autres données administratives pour analyser la manière dont la collecte des impôts directs et le versement de transferts sociaux ont des répercussions sur l’inégalité des revenus dans les six cantons suisses d’Argovie, de Berne, de Lucerne, de Saint-Gall, de Genève et du Valais. Les résultats montrent que l’inégalité des revenus du marché est réduite de 26%, passant de 37,4 points de Gini à 27,6, grâce au système fiscal et de transferts sociaux. L’essentiel de cette réduction est due à des transferts sociaux tels que les prestations sous condition de ressources et les rentes (71% de l’effet total). L’effet associé à la progressivité de l’impôt est significativement plus faible (29%). En comparaison internationale, le faible effet redistributif des impôts directs en Suisse est frappant. Ce phénomène s’explique, entre autres, par l’organisation fédérale du pays. Nous constatons également des disparités entre les cantons en matière de niveau d’inégalité, d’ampleur et de composition de la redistribution.

description: This is Virio Andreyana Master Thesis for Masters in Renewable Energy Technology

Southeast Asia, a region with a rapidly growing population and energy demand, is striving to achieve net-zero emissions by 2060 or sooner. This thesis develops a new Southeast Asia-wide electricity-only energy system model to assess the impact of an interregional grid development plan named the ASEAN Power Grid and strategies for the phase-out or phase-down of coal-fired power plants. A series of scenarios are made for comparison, spanning the years 2020 to 2050, with three network topologies and three decarbonization policy targets. These models are simplified to have 200 spatial nodes and a temporal resolution of three hours. However, due to the way the data is aggregated, they can be adjusted to achieve a higher resolution if needed.

The results indicate that expanding grid interconnections enables the region to decarbonize while maintaining annual system costs within 20% of the baseline pathway. Moreover, the phase-out or reduction of coal-fired power plants is influenced not only by their efficiency and location but also by the ASEAN Power Grid. Enhanced grid interconnections extend the operational lifespan of coal-fired power plants while still achieving comparable decarbonization goals.

description: Der Einsatz der linearen Vibrationsschweißtechnologie (LVST) ist weit verbreitet in der Au- tomobilindustrie, dort werden Kunststoffe schon lange erfolgreich verschweißt. Dies f\"hrte an der Abteilung Forschung und Entwicklung der HSB1 zu dem Grundgedanken diese Techno- logie als m\"gliche Alternative zu den konventionellen Verbindungs- und Klebeprozessen der Holzindustrie zu untersuchen. Resultierend aus vorangegangenen Forschungsarbeiten an der HSB wurde im Jahr 2002 ein Technologietransferprojekt \"ber den Einsatz des linearen Vibrationsschweißens in der Holzindustrie mittels thermo- und duroplastischen Kunststoffen als Verbindungsmittel gestartet. Ziel des Projektes war die Entwicklung einer innovativen Klebe- und Verbindungstechnologie, welche wirtschaftlich und qualitativ hochwertig in einer industriellen Produktion einsetzbar ist. Mittels Parameterstudien wurden unterschiedliche Klebstoffsysteme getestet und die optimalen Schweißbedingungen ermittelt. Die durchge- f\"hrten Forschungsarbeiten f\"hrten zu der Entdeckung, dass mittels der LVST duroplasti- sche Kunststoffe thermisch aktiviert und somit innerhalb kurzer Prozesszeiten qualitativ hochwertige Holzverbindungen hergestellt werden k\"nnen. Auf Grund der Erfolg verspre- chenden Projektergebnisse wurde die Idee durch nationale und internationale Patente ge- sch\"tzt 1. Seit Anfang 2004 werden erste potentielle Anwender kontaktiert und in Zusam- menarbeit mit dem Hauptindustriepartner2 wird intensiv an der m{\"{o}}glichen Einf{\"{u}}hrung der Technologie in der Holzindustrie gearbeitet.

description: Fungal keratitis is a severe ocular infection secondary to accidental macro or microscopic trauma of the cornea. Dramatic increase of this infection was recorded along with the spread of antibiotic and heavy corticosteroids. This fungal disease s difficult to treat because of the scarcity of efficacious topical and systemic drugs. We evaluated in vivo and in vitro effectiveness of Povidone Iodine (PVP-I [betadine]), an agent with broad antibacterial and antiviral activity on Candida albicans and Aspergillus niger isolates from patients with fungal keratitis. The results showed that PVP-I solution 5% - 10% has a in vivo fungicidal activity against the vegetative cells of Candida albicans but not spores of Aspergillus niger
