description: Serious water pollution and energy demand issues are driving the rapid development of several advanced technologies to purify wastewater, generate energy, and reduce waste in the context of sustainable economic growth. Herein, the application of photoelectrocatalysis (PEC) to wastewater treatment, with simultaneous production of either energy or high value-added products, and even with recovery of valuable resources, is reviewed. Specifically, multifunctional PEC systems include wastewater treatment, combined with either the production of H2, H2O2, CO2-derived chemicals, and power or the recovery of metal (e.g., Ag, Cu) and nonmetal (e.g., N, S) resources. The fundamentals of PEC process, the performance and selection of photoelectrodes, the mechanisms of different PEC applications and the construction of reactors are discussed. In addition, the critical challenges of PEC development in terms of system stability, energy consumption, and scale-up to practical applications are summarized. This review provides a comprehensive overview of multifunctional PEC systems in which reaction coupling allows achieving high-efficiency and low-energy consumption, with the ultimate goal of achieving a greener development.

description: Abstract Background The British Columbia (BC) Take-Home Naloxone (THN) program provides naloxone to people at risk of experiencing or witnessing an opioid overdose for use in reversing suspected overdose events. This study seeks to examine trends and correlates of individuals obtaining a THN kit in BC between 2017 and 2020. Methods Records of THN kits distributed between 2017 and 2020 were the primary source of data for this analysis. Frequency tables were used to describe characteristics of people obtaining kits from THN sites. Correlates of individuals obtaining a THN kit to replace a previous kit reported as used to reverse an overdose were assessed with multivariate logistic regression. Results Between January 1, 2017, and December 31, 2020, 240,606 THN kits were reported distributed by registered sites to members of the public, with 90,011 records indicating that a kit was obtained to replace a previous kit that had been used to reverse an overdose. There was a significant trend in increasing kits reported used by year (p < 0.01). The kit recipient’s risk of overdose was a significant predictor of having reported using a THN kit, and the strength of the association was dependent on gender (Male: Adjusted odds ratio (AOR) 5.37 [95% confidence interval (CI) 5.08 – 5.67]; Female: AOR 8.35 [95% CI 7.90 – 8.82]; Trans and gender expansive: AOR 3.68 [95% CI 2.82 – 4.79]). Conclusions Between 2017 and 2020, THN kits were used to reverse tens of thousands of overdose events in BC, with people at risk of overdose (i.e. people who use drugs [PWUD]) having greater odds of using a kit to reverse an overdose than those not at risk. Thus, PWUD are responsible for reversing the vast majority of overdoses. THN kits are being distributed to the people who use them most. However, additional strategies in conjunction with community-based naloxone distribution programs are needed to address the rising number of illicit drug toxicity deaths.

description: Soil is a multifunctional sustainable pillar that holds the Earth by connecting and supporting the lithosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and anthroposphere. Circular economy (CE) has emerged as a solution to human-environmental sustainability needs. CE implementations have been popularized across various fields including engineering, agriculture, forestry, and waste management, but comprehensive studies focusing mainly on soil circularity in scientific literature are unavailable. This paper aims to outline the conceptual frameworks underpinning soil functions, services, and threats in relation to CE. This is done by identifying and mapping the research trajectory, thematic chronology, and evolution of the concept of CE and soil from contemporary scientific literature. The conceptual network is categorized into six main clusters (viz; extraction and processing, nutrient cycling, ecosystem services, contamination, waste management, and soil-related technologies) which were assessed by applying recycling, regeneration, and repurpose strategies in the soil context. Mapping the triple-R to soil functions, our study revealed that nutrient cycling was the most published topic on CE and soil. Further, we observed that research on recycling had the most attention and increased rapidly, regeneration increased marginally, while repurpose decreased. The study concludes that thematic conceptualization based on the triple-R is neither definite nor comprehensive but is meant to be indicative and applicable considering the “triple-A (agent-action-aim) principle representing intention, action, and purpose. A comprehensive knowledge synthesis about circular soil principles could help in the application of decisive, operational, and competitive benefits, vis-à-vis fostering more studies to intensify and promote soil circularity for a better society.

description: El almacenamiento de hidrógeno de forma eficiente y segura es uno de los
 inconvenientes aún no resueltos para el empleo del hidrógeno como combustible alternativo en vehículos. Un modo seguro y eficiente de almacenar hidrógeno es en compuestos sólidos, entre los cuales encontramos a los hidruros complejos. Se ha prestado especial interés a el LiBH4 dada su alta capacidad gravimétrica y volumétrica, 18.4 wt% y 121 kg H2/m3 respectivamente [1]. Sin embargo, su aplicación práctica esta limitada por las restricciones cinéticas y termodinámicas dado que son necesarias altas presiones y temperaturas (mayores a 100 bar y 350 ºC) para la absorción/desorción de hidrógeno [2, 3]. En el presente trabajo se estudian materiales compuestos por Mg–Fe–LiBH4 sintetizados por molienda mecánica en atmósfera inerte. Los resultados obtenidos muestran que
 los compuestos Mg–Fe–LiBH4 poseen velocidades y capacidades de absorción de hidrógeno superiores a las que se tienen con materiales conformados sólo por Mg–Fe. La adición de LiBH4 al Mg–Fe introduce cambios microestructurales (menores tamaños de grano) y morfológicos que resultan en mayores áreas superficiales, partículas con fisuras y microporos
 , lo cual facilita la difusión del hidrógeno a través de la capa hidrura formada. Sin embargo, las propiedades termodinámicas de los hidruros en base Mg–Fe no se ve alterada por el agregado de LiBH4, lo cual indica que el LiBH4 tiene un rol catalítico. Las propiedades de almacenamiento de hidrógeno que presentan los compuestos Mg–Fe–LiBH4 los convierten en un potencial material para su aplicación práctica. Sin embargo, estudios adicionales son necesarios para poder entender el rol del LiBH4 de modo tal de poder mejorar las características del material. Referencias

Subjects: Bt-Toxin

description: The increasing cultivation of genetically modified corn plants (Zea mays) during the last decades is suggested as a potential risk to the environment. One of these genetically modified variety expressed the insecticidal Cry1Ab protein originating from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt), resulting in resistance against Ostrinia nubilalis, the European corn borer. Transgenic litter material is extensively studied regarding the decomposition in soils. However, only a few field studies analyzed the fate of the Cry1Ab protein and the impact of green and senescent leaf litter from corn on the decomposition rate and related ecosystem functions in aquatic environments. Consequently, a microbial litter decomposition experiment was conducted under controlled semi-natural conditions in batch culture using two maize varieties: one variety with Cry1Ab and another one with the appertaining Iso-line as control treatment. The results showed no significant differences between the treatment with Cry1Ab and the Iso-line regarding loss of total mass in dry weight of 43% for Iso-line and 45% for Bt-corn litter, lignin content increased to 137.5% (Iso-line) and 115.7% (Bt-corn), and phenol loss decreased by 53.6% (Iso-line), 62.2% (Bt-corn) during three weeks of the experiment. At the end of the experiment Cry1Ab protein was still detected with 6% of the initial concentration. A slightly but significant lower cellulose content was found for the Cry1Ab treatment compared to the Iso-line litter at the end of the experiment. The significant higher total protein (25%) and nitrogen (25%) content in Bt corn, most likely due to the additionally expression of the transgenic protein, may increase the microbial cellulose degradation and decrease microbial lignin degradation. In conclusion a relevant year by year input of protein and therefore nitrogen rich Bt corn litter into aquatic environments may affect the balanced nutrient turnover in aquatic ecosystems.

description: The COVID-19 pandemic has riveted attention on the deep fault lines that exist globally and locally, as well as the physical and social suffering of people who continue to live on a low income, especially those who have experienced systemic discrimination. Ongoing documentation during the pandemic has shown that different population groups are disproportionally impacted. In this submission, we aim to contribute to the Government of B.C.’s long-term plan, as outlined in Budget 2022, to restore ground lost in this pandemic, and to work towards a more prosperous future, inclusive of all British Columbians. Related policy action requires a comprehensive understanding of the lived experiences of diverse peoples of all ages, families, and communities, and the deployment of resources that are most relevant within each context. Governments should provide not only financial resources, but also resources that enable people to navigate complex social and health systems. Such policy action necessitates significant time, resources, and clinical expertise in social and health care planning, including the delivery of health and social services by professional groups, policy makers, and governments. We hope that the following recommendations, constructed from experiences “on the ground,” might be useful strategies for action as the government moves forward in implementing its plan during this pandemic and thereafter to decrease income inequity and improve health in the Province of B.C. The recommendations build towards the right of all British Columbians to a dignified life, with all basic necessities of life adequately and equitably available to everyone (1).

description: The Prasiolaceae is a small family of mainly sub-aerial multicellular green algae that is well known for the preference of its members for nutrient-enriched environments. In central and northwestern European cities with humid climate, for example, species of the largest genus Prasiola commonly occur at sites where dogs urinate, such as at street corners or bases of trees. The present study reports three minute new species in two new genera of the family Prasiolaceae discovered in cultures of material collected from nutrient-enriched urban sites in Northern Germany. Morphological and DNA sequence data based on plastid markers support the separation of Prasibo cubiformis gen. et sp. nov. Prasiolotta rindii gen. et sp. nov. and Prasiolotta hercynia sp. nov. from currently known genera and species of the Prasiolaceae. Mature thalli of Prasiolotta species can be distinguished from those of other members of the family by their irregular shape, comprising uni- to multiseriate filaments and small fan-shaped sections, with Prasiolotta rindii having slightly smaller cells than Prasiolotta hercynia. Young thalli of Prasibo cubiformis resembled tiny green gummy bear sweets, while developed ones comprised short filaments consisting of multiseriate cell packages. The multiseriate filaments occuring in both new genera may lead to confusion with the closely related genus Prasiolopsis, suggesting that for the correct identification of the smaller members of the Prasiolaceae, genetic data are essential. This study suggests that our knowledge of the diversity of terrestrial algae is still very incomplete, and that urban habitats may be a source of unexpected discoveries. New genera and species of Prasiolaceae were discovered in cultures.The cryptic diversity of green algal films is underestimated.Urban habitats remain a major repository of new taxa.

description: Background: The aim of this study was to analyze the long-term topographic and refractive outcomes of corneal cross-linking (CXL) in keratoconus. Methods: We used a retrospective observational study of patients with keratoconus who underwent CXL with a minimum follow-up of 5 years. Patients’ refractive and topography data (corrected distance visual acuity, sphere, cylinder, average and maximum keratometry, and corneal aberrations) were collected. Results: A total of 112 patients/150 eyes (mean age: 33.2 ± 10.7 years; range: 13–61) were included. The mean follow-up was 5.87 ± 1.35 years (range: 5–10). At the last follow-up visit, an improvement in CDVA, spherical and cylindrical refraction, average and steepest keratometry, and corneal aberrations were observed (p < 0.05), with the exception of trefoil. At the last visit, 49 (34.8%) and 31 (22.0%) eyes had an improvement beyond 1D in their spherical and cylindrical power, respectively, and 43 (28.7%) eyes had a flattening of their steepest keratometry. Progressive improvement over time was observed for spherical refraction; max and mean-K; as well as corneal RMS, total, high, coma, and spherical aberrations (p < 0.05). More severe disease at the baseline correlated with an improvement in corneal aberrations over time. Conclusions: In addition to a progressive improvement in refractive and keratometric indices, corneal aberrations also demonstrate a steady decline with long-term follow-up after CXL, which was more pronounced in more severe patients.

description: European CH4and N2O emissions are estimated for 2006 and 2007 using four inverse modelling systems, based on different global and regional Eulerian and Lagrangian transport models. This ensemble approach is designed to provide more realistic estimates of the overall uncertainties in the derived emissions, which is particularly important for verifying bottom-up emission inventories. We use continuous observations from 10 European stations (including 5 tall towers) for CH4and 9 continuous stations for N2O, complemented by additional European and global discrete air sampling sites. The available observations mainly constrain CH4and N2O emissions from north-western and eastern Europe. The inversions are strongly driven by the observations and the derived total emissions of larger countries show little dependence on the emission inventories used a priori. Three inverse models yield 26-56% higher total CH4emissions from north-western and eastern Europe compared to bottom-up emissions reported to the UNFCCC, while one model is close to the UNFCCC values. In contrast, the inverse modelling estimates of European N2O emissions are in general close to the UNFCCC values, with the overall range from all models being much smaller than the UNFCCC uncertainty range for most countries. Our analysis suggests that the reported uncertainties for CH4 emissions might be underestimated, while those for N2O emissions are likely overestimated. Quelle: http://www.scopus.com

description: Light is used ubiquitously across science and engineering to explore, characterise, understand matter, and catalyse processes. Relative to its utility in science and engineering, very little research has been conducted on how students develop an understanding of light-matter interactions, especially at the quantum level, which is necessary to understand many modern applications. To begin addressing this gap, we present results from a cross-sectional qualitative investigation of postsecondary chemistry students’ conceptions of light and light-matter interactions in the context of the photoelectric effect. A knowledge analysis of the interviews resulted in a model of students’ understanding that consisted of three distinct levels of knowledge. These levels were distinct from each other based on the features of students’ cognitive structure and treatment of wave-particle duality. The lowest level reasoning constructed fragmented explanations and relied on intuition; and described light behaviour as only a wave or a particle. In contrast, the highest level reasoning coordinated observations and inferences to construct mechanistic explanations of the photoelectric effect; and described light behaviour as both wave and particle. These results provide a starting point for characterising how students conceptually transition from the classical, macroscopic view to the quantum view.

description: BACKGROUND: Bacterial infections such as osteomyelitis and endocarditis routinely require several weeks of treatment with intravenous (IV) antimicrobials. Outpatient parenteral antimicrobial therapy (OPAT) programs allow patients to receive IV antimicrobials in an outpatient clinic or at home. The outcomes and costs of such treatments remain uncertain. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective observational cohort study over a 5-year study interval (June 1, 2012, to March 31, 2018) using population-based linked administrative data from British Columbia, Canada. Patients receiving OPAT following a hospitalization for bacterial infection were matched based on infection type and implied duration of IV antimicrobials to patients receiving inpatient parenteral antimicrobial therapy (IPAT). Cumulative adverse events and direct healthcare costs were estimated over a 90-day outcome interval. RESULTS: In a matched cohort of 1,842 patients, adverse events occurred in 35.6% of OPAT patients and 39.0% of IPAT patients (adjusted odds ratio, 1.04; 95%CI, 0.83-1.30; p=0.61). Relative to IPAT patients, OPAT patients were significantly more likely to experience hospital readmission (30.5% vs 23.0%) but significantly less likely to experience C. difficile diarrhea (1.2% vs 3.1%) or death (2.0% vs 8.8%). Estimated mean direct healthcare costs were $30,166 for OPAT patients and $50,038 for IPAT patients (cost ratio, 0.60; average cost savings with OPAT, $17,579; 95%CI, $14,131-$21,027; p<0.001). CONCLUSION: Outpatient IV antimicrobial therapy is associated with a similar overall prevalence of adverse events and with substantial cost savings relative to patients remaining in hospital to complete IV antimicrobials. These findings should inform efforts to expand OPAT use.

description: On the road to Delphi, as one approaches the sanctuary of Apollo from the East (800 m from the main sanctuary), there is a much smaller sanctuary dedicated to Athena Pronaia ("Athena before the Temple") on a terrace now called "Marmaria" (150 m x 40 m). It consists of a walled temenos (sacred precinct) and various structures (altars, at least two temples, a tholos, and two treasuries). This smaller sanctuary to Athena served as a gateway to the much larger sanctuary to Apollo, and the goddess Athena can be perceived as protecting her younger half-brother, Apollo.

description: Asp vipers (Vipera aspis) and adders (Vipera berus) coexist in the Loire-Atlantique department in France where the two species reach their respective range limits. This contact zone is of special interest since hybridization has been recently discovered there. We carried out extensive sampling to further investigate the hybrid status of morphologically typical individuals and to evaluate the proportion of genetically admixed individuals in this area. Using microsatellite markers, no hybrids with typical morphological traits of either asp vipers or adders were detected. All recently investigated individuals with intermediate morphological traits were shown to be hybrids. A rather low proportion of genetically admixed individuals (1.5–3%) and a very small number of supposed second-generation hybrids suggest reduced fertility of first-generation hybrids or low viability of their progeny. The investigation of mtDNA of newly sampled hybrids support the finding that hybridization only occurs between female V. aspis and male V. berus. Several possible explanations for the unidirectional hybridization are discussed and consequent future studies suggested.

description: This study grasps the system related to the current parking facilities in the business district of Tokyo and the regional rules applied in multiple districts.In addition, we will investigate and analyze the actual usage of parking facilities in areas where regional rules are based on information from local governments, actual operating conditions of parking facilities by field surveys, and interviews with parking facility operating companies.As a result, we focus on the problem of “excessive supply of parking facilities” that has arisen in the operation of regional rules and three points to consider when formulating future regional rules. In particular, it suggests future directions regarding acceptance of distant place parking.

description: Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) cultivars that produce black grains are thought to be more nutritious and contain powerful antioxidant properties, but little is known about the chemical foundation and the genetic mechanism behind this trait. In this research, widely-targeted metabolome and transcriptome analyses were employed to unveil the chemical and genetic differences between black and white quinoa cultivars. A total of 157 differentially expressed metabolites were found in the black and white quinoa cultivars. The tannins and flavonoids were present at high levels in the black quinoa grains. The tannins comprised 13 proanthocyanins, all of which could barely be detected in white grains. Proanthocyanidins are suggested to cause the black grain trait in Arabidopsis thaliana and Brassica species and are thought to produce the black grain trait, while contributing to antioxidant activity, in black grain quinoa. A total of 4620 differentially expressed unigenes were identified in the black and white quinoa grains. Structural genes associated with proanthocyanin biosynthesis, particularly DFR, LAR, LDOX and ANR, were more highly expressed in black than white grains. Genes involved in the betalain biosynthetic pathway, which competes with anthocyanin biosynthesis, showed relatively lower levels of expression in black grains. Two MYB and one MYC transcription factor related to the phenylpropane metabolic pathway displayed higher expression levels in black grains, while BvMYB1, associated with betalain biosynthesis, was not detected. This study suggested that the accumulation of proanthocyanins produces the black grain trait in quinoa, and the activation of transcription factors triggers the proanthocyanidin biosynthesis pathway.

Designing Open Spaces for Rehabilitation in Australian Prisons: Contemporary Applications
Creators: name: Hackler, Friederika Helena
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This study argues that Australian prisons would benefit from more investment in their open spaces. It is suggested that simply focusing on security and basic infrastructure, with little commitment to understanding the user needs has been resulting in prison spaces with a limited repertoire of ideas. The design result of outdoor spaces has been generally sterile, limited to poorly vegetated garden beds, sports area, concrete seats, and paths. Finally, when designed for this purpose, open spaces can be of great value on rehabilitation practices (e.g. healing gardens) and may represent important outcomes in prisoner's rehabilitation.
Empiric Antibiotic Therapy for Uncomplicated Lower Urinary Tract Infections
Creators: name: Therapeutics Initiative (University Of British Columbia)
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Background: Therapeutics Letter 135 discusses antimicrobial best practices for treating uncomplicated UTIs in British Columbia (BC), Canada. Uncomplicated lower urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common and can be treated with empiric antibiotic therapy. However, antibiotic use should take into account local patterns of bacterial resistance. Conclusions: Urine dipstick/urinalysis and/or urine cultures are not recommended for diagnosing most uncomplicated lower urinary tract infections. Empiric prescription of nitrofurantoin for 5 to 7 days is recommended. The British Columbia Centre for Disease Control recommends one oral dose of fosfomycin 3 g when CrCl is ≤ 30mL/min or when there is allergy/intolerance to nitrofurantoin. TMP-SMX, fluoroquinolones, and beta-lactams are unsuitable for empiric therapy in BC due to bacterial resistance.

description: Astaxanthin is one of the most important secondary metabolites with superior antioxidant property and is widely applied in nutraceuticals and pharmaceuticals industry. Recently, the production of astaxanthin from natural source has been mainly focused on the green microalgae, Haematococcus pluvialis, as it can accumulate large amounts of astaxanthin and its esters. However, the slow growth with low biomass yield and easy contamination by other fast-growing organisms are the main problems faced by H. pluvialis. In this study, the preliminary study on growth characteristic and amount of astaxanthin by tropical microalgae strains isolated from environment in Malaysia was reported. Two newly isolated microalgae including Acutodesmus obliquus and Coelastrum sp. were compared under various stress inductive conditions to identify the microalgae culture that can accumulate high amount of astaxanthin. The objective of this study is to compare and characterise astaxanthin accumulation using different species of green microalgae as mentioned above under different stress conditions. Findings of the preliminary studied indicated that the exposure of microalgae culture to high light intensity and nitrogen starvation in mixotrophic culture is a potential inducer of high amount of astaxanthin production. Among the two microalgae studied, Coelastrum sp., exhibited the highest tolerance to stress conditions. Outcomes of this work have shown that, astaxanthin produced in Coelastrum sp. is the most comparable to H. pluvialis and can be the potential alternative to current astaxanthin production.

ANALYSING THE FINANCIAL VIABILITY OF THE 50MW BANGWEULU SOLAR PLANT IN ZAMBIA USING FINPLAN
Creators: name: Mubanga, Harnadih Kabwe
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: The financial viability of the Bangweulu 50 MW Power Plant using FINPLAN was analysed by exploring three scenarios to assess the impact on shareholder dividends in a solar power plant project. The first scenario involved varying electricity prices, indicating that the base price of ZMW 1.5 per KWh resulted in the highest dividends and the shortest waiting period for shareholders to access their dividends. The second scenario focused on increasing the quantity of electricity produced, revealing that all tested productivity increases led to higher shareholding dividends without resulting in a lag time before dividend payments. However, increasing productivity to 75% above the base level resulted in higher dividends and ensured better efficiency. The third scenario examined varying loan repayment periods, demonstrating that shorter repayment periods were more profitable in the short term, while longer periods reduced plant profitability. The findings provide insights into the factors influencing the financial performance of solar power plant projects and offer practical implications for project planning and decision-making. It was recommended that exploring price reduction, increasing production and focussing on loans with shorter repayment periods would improve the financial viability and profitability of the solar power plant.

High-Precision Measurement of Height Differences from Shadows in Non-Stereo Imagery: New Methodology and Accuracy Assessment
Creators: name: Camilo, Rada
Publisher: name: Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute
Year: 2022

description: The shadow-height method has been extensively used to extract the heights of buildings from the shadows they cast in non-stereo (single view) aerial and satellite imagery. However, the use of this method in Earth sciences has been limited, partially due to the relatively low accuracy reported, the fuzziness of shadow edges, the complexities of the scanning sensors, and a lack of software tools. In this paper, we present an enhanced shadow-height methodology offering significant accuracy improvement. These improvements are mainly the result of using a physical approach to model the illumination gradient through the edge of shadows and by leveraging meteorological data to precisely estimate atmospheric refraction. We validated 91 shadow-derived height estimations from images obtained by the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) at three sites with latitudes between 33 and 78°S: The Andes Mountains, Sentinel Range, and Abbot ice shelf. Reference measurements were obtained from Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) surveys and the Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite (ICESat). The observed errors fell below 6% for small height differences (∼20 m) and below 2% for larger height differences (≳300 m). Our validation data cover solar elevations ranging from 3.7 to 42.2°, and we observed smaller absolute errors at lower solar elevations. This novel information can be valuable for studying surface elevation changes in present and old imagery and extending glacier volume variation time-series.
Identity Formation in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) Creative Writing in Indonesia
Creators: name: Widyastuti, Dewi
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The research revealed that students in English as a foreign language in Indonesia perceived themselves as society members, English as a foreign language learners and creative writers. Students' identities were utilised as creative writing resources for self-expression, blending the Indonesian and English cultures and emotional channels. Through their creative writing, students accepted and rejected the identities ascribed by others. Moreover, their creative writing allowed students to claim and confirm their identities while abiding to the societal expectations towards them. As such, students were empowered and could develop positive learning attitudes. Thus, creative writing practices could be used promote students' identity formation.
