description: A systematic scoping review of research published between 2000 and 2020 on employment of people with disabilities, that was funded by the National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR), was conducted by CeKTER researchers. All papers comparing people with disabilities to those without were excluded from the systematic scoping review. Among over 100 publications reviewed there was a wide and very disparate array of findings with numerous variables used and varying research questions. This result belies summative findings. There are numerous ways of organizing the disparate findings. This brief is part of a series of findings from CeKTER's systematic scoping review. In this brief we report on findings about a range of health-related determinants impacting the employment of people with disabilities, including disability characteristics, health challenges, and lifestyle related determinants. Please note that all comparisons are always about corresponding peers with disabilities.

Cooperative Multilateralism: Discursive Diffusion on Terrorist Financing Between International Organizations

subject: Financial Action Task Force

description: September 11 securitized the issue of terrorist financing by significantly intensifying international regulation of financial crime. Since terrorism is not restricted by state borders, terrorism financing must also be combatted transnationally. States must coordinate and standardize financial regulation at the international level, and this process takes place within international organizations. Current securitization scholarship overlooks the role of international organizations in the adoption of coordinated issue framing. I trace the process of discursive diffusion between the United Nations Security Council and the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) before and after September 11 to find that standard-setting language diffuses bidirectionally. Specifically, normative language diffuses from the generalist Security Council to the specialized FATF. Technical language diffuses from the FATF to the Security Council. I also find the formation of inextricable issue linkage between terrorism financing and money laundering. These findings have implications for the role of specialized technocratic institutions in securitization. In addition, long-term international coordination on terrorist financing may impact financial coordination on other issues, including sanctions against Russia after the 2022 invasion of Ukraine.

description: Outbreaks of avian influenza virus (AIV) from wild waterfowl into the poultry industry is of upmost significance and is an ongoing and constant threat to the industry. Accurate surveillance of AIV in wild waterfowl is critical in understanding viral diversity in the natural reservoir. Current surveillance methods for AIV involve collection of samples and transportation to a laboratory for molecular diagnostics. Processing of samples using this approach takes more than three days and may limit testing locations to those with practical access to laboratories. In potential outbreak situations, response times are critical, and delays have implications in terms of the spread of the virus that leads to increased economic cost. This study used nanopore sequencing technology for in-field sequencing and subtype characterisation of AIV strains collected from wild bird faeces and poultry. A custom in-field virus screening and sequencing protocol, including a targeted offline bioinformatic pipeline, was developed to accurately subtype AIV. Due to the lack of optimal diagnostic MinION packages for Australian AIV strains the bioinformatic pipeline was specifically targeted to confidently subtype local strains. The method presented eliminates the transportation of samples, dependence on internet access and delivers critical diagnostic information in a timely manner.

description: Many individuals diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) experience gastrointestinal (GI) dysfunction and show microbial dysbiosis. Variation in gut microbial populations is associated with increased risk for GI symptoms such as chronic constipation and diarrhoea, which decrease quality of life. Several preclinical models of autism also demonstrate microbial dysbiosis. Given that much pre-clinical research is conducted in mouse models, it is important to understand the similarities and differences between the gut microbiome in humans and these models in the context of autism. We conducted a systematic review of the literature using PubMed, ProQuest and Scopus databases to compare microbiome profiles of patients with autism and transgenic (NL3R451C, Shank3 KO, 15q dup), phenotype-first (BTBR) and environmental (Poly I:C, Maternal Inflammation Activation (MIA), valproate) mouse models of autism. Overall, we report changes in fecal microbial communities relevant to ASD based on both clinical and preclinical studies. Here, we identify an overlapping cluster of genera that are modified in both fecal samples from individuals with ASD and mouse models of autism. Specifically, we describe an increased abundance of Bilophila, Clostridium, Dorea and Lactobacillus and a decrease in Blautia genera in both humans and rodents relevant to this disorder. Studies in both humans and mice highlighted multidirectional changes in abundance (i.e. in some cases increased abundance whereas other reports showed decreases) for several genera including Akkermansia, Bacteroides, Bifidobacterium, Parabacteroides and Prevotella, suggesting that these genera may be susceptible to modification in autism. Identification of these microbial profiles may assist in characterising underlying biological mechanisms involving host-microbe interactions and provide future therapeutic targets for improving gut health in autism.

Debunking Lies in the NPP Manifesto: Electricity Tariff Increases

 

The New Patriotic Party (NPP) 2024 Manifesto claims that between 2009 and 2016, electricity tariffs increased by an average of 50% per year, while between 2017 and 2023, the average annual increase was 11.1%. However, a closer examination reveals that these statements are misleading and lack concrete evidence.

 

Breaking Down the Claims

Part 1: 2009-2016

The alleged 50% annual increase is highly unlikely, resulting in a cumulative increase of over 900% in just 7 years, making electricity unaffordable for most consumers. In reality, the average annual increase from 2009 to 2016 was around 13.6% over 7 years.

 

Part 2: 2017-2023

The claimed 11.1% annual increase is also inaccurate. The actual average annual increase from 2017 to 2023 was around 18.3%, in over 6 years.

 

To calculate the average annual increase for the two NDC periods:

2009-2012

1. 2009-2010: 10.3%

2. 2010-2011: 11.4%

3. 2011-2012: 12.5%

Average annual increase = (10.3 + 11.4 + 12.5) / 3 ≈ 11.4%

2013-2016:

1. 2012-2013: 13.3%

2. 2013-2014: 14.5%

3. 2014-2015: 15.1%

4. 2015-2016: 16.5%

Average annual increase = (13.3 + 14.5 + 15.1 + 16.5) / 4 ≈ 14.85%

 

 

Fact-Checking with Reliable Sources

According to the Public Utilities Regulatory Commission (PURC) reports:

 

- 2009-2010: 10.3% increase

- 2010-2011: 11.4% increase

- 2011-2012: 12.5% increase

- 2012-2013: 13.3% increase

- 2013-2014: 14.5% increase

- 2014-2015: 15.1% increase

- 2015-2016: 16.5% increase

- 2016-2017: 10.2% increase

- 2017-2018: 11.1% increase

- 2018-2019: 12.2% increase

- 2019-2020: 13.3% increase

- 2020-2021: 14.5% increase

- 2021-2022: 27.15% increase

- 2022-2023: 29.96% increase

- 2023-2024: Distribution Service Charge (DSC) decreased by 1.01%

 

Conclusion

 

The NPP Manifesto's claims about electricity tariff increases lack credibility and are not supported by reliable data sources. It is essential to fact-check and verify information to ensure accuracy and transparency.

description: Background: Compression garments (CGs) are a popular tool that may act on physiological, physical, neuromuscular, biomechanical, and/or perceptual domains during exercise and recovery from exercise, with varying levels of efficacy. While previous reviews have focused on the effects of CGs during running, high-intensity exercise, and exercise recovery, a comprehensive systematic review that assesses the effectiveness of garment use both during and after exercise has not been recently conducted. Methods: A systematic search of the literature from the earliest record until May 2022 was performed based on the PRISMA-P guidelines for systematic reviews, using the online databases PubMed, SPORTDiscus, and Google Scholar. Results: 160 articles with 2530 total participants were included for analysis in the systematic review, comprised of 103 ‘during exercise’ studies, 42 ‘during recovery’ studies, and 15 combined design studies. Conclusions: During exercise, CGs have a limited effect on global measures of endurance performance but may improve some sport-specific variables (e.g., countermovement jump height). Most muscle proteins/metabolites are unchanged with the use of CGs during exercise, though measures of blood lactate tend to be lowered. CGs for recovery appear to have a positive benefit on subsequent bouts of endurance (e.g., cycling time trials) and resistance exercise (e.g., isokinetic dynamometry). CGs are associated with reductions in lactate dehydrogenase during recovery and are consistently associated with decreases in perceived muscle soreness following fatiguing exercise. This review may provide a useful point of reference for practitioners and researchers interested in the effect of CGs on particular outcome variables or exercise types.

description: Background: Most experimentally determined structures of biomolecules lack annotated hydrogen positions due to their low electron density. However, thorough structure analysis and simulations require knowledge about the positions of hydrogen atoms. Existing methods for their prediction are either limited to a certain range of molecules or only work effectively on small compounds. Results: We present a novel algorithm that compiles fragments of molecules with known hydrogen atom positions into a library. Using this library the method is able to predict hydrogen positions for molecules with similar moieties. We show that the method is able to accurately assign hydrogen atoms to most organic compounds including biomacromolecules, if a sufficiently large library is used. Conclusions: We bundled the algorithm into the open-source Python package and command line program Hydride. Since usually no additional parametrization is necessary for the problem at hand, the software works out-of-box for a wide range of molecular systems usually within a few seconds of computation time. Hence, we believe that Hydride could be a valuable tool for structural biologists and biophysicists alike.

description: Periodic subwavelength apertures have the ability to passively detect variations in the dielectric properties of the local sample environment through modification of the plasmon resonances associated with these structures. The resulting resonance peak can effectively provide a ‘fingerprint’ indicative of the dielectric properties of the medium within the near-surface region. Here we report on the use of bimodal silver-based plasmonic colour filters for molecular sensing. Firstly, by exploring the optical output of these devices as a function of the incident polarisation for a range of different analytes of known refractive index, we were able to both maximise and quantify their sensitivity. We then apply this concept to the real-time monitoring of the formation of self-assembled monolayers based on detection of the optical output using a spectrometer. This highlights the potential for bimodal plasmonic devices to be able to dynamically monitor variations in the local environment down to the level of single molecules without the need for specific functionalisation or labelling. Advantages of using this technique include the ability for these devices to be miniaturised and to dynamically tailor their optical output permitting the analysis of very small sample volumes and maximise their dynamic range for a specific analyte.

description: Background: Evidence suggests that reductions in the incidence in trauma observed in some countries are related to interventions including legislation around road and vehicle safety measures, public behaviour change campaigns, and changes in trauma response systems. This study aims to briefly review recent refereed and grey literature about prehospital and hospital trauma care services in different regions around the world and describe similarities and differences in identified systems to demonstrate the diversity of characteristics present. Methods: Articles published between 2000 and 2020 were retrieved from MEDLINE and EMBASE. Since detailed comparable information was lacking in the published literature, prehospital emergency service providers’ annual performance reports from selected example countries or regions were reviewed to obtain additional information about the performance of prehospital care. Results: The review retained 34 studies from refereed literature related to trauma systems in different regions. In the U.S. and Canada, the trauma care facilities consisted of five different levels of trauma centres ranging from Level I to Level IV and Level I to Level V, respectively. Hospital care and organisation in Japan is different from the U.S. model, with no dedicated trauma centres; however, patients with severe injury are transported to university hospitals’ emergency departments. Other similarities and differences in regional examples were observed. Conclusions: The refereed literature was dominated by research from developed countries such as Australia, Canada, and the U.S., which all have organised trauma systems. Many European countries have implemented trauma systems between the 1990s and 2000s; however, some countries, such as France and Greece, are still forming an integrated system. This review aims to encourage countries with immature trauma systems to consider the similarities and differences in approaches of other countries to implementing a trauma system.

description: In recent years, composites consisting of polymers and cellulosic materials have attracted increasing research attention. Polypropylene (PP) is among the most common polymer types found in excavated waste from landfills. Moreover, wood waste generated from wood products manufacturing such as sawdust (SD) offers a good potential for the fabrication of composite materials, and it is readily available in the environment. In this paper, wood polymer composites (WPC) consisting of recycled PP (rPP) and (SD) were prepared and characterised. A range of mechanical properties, including tensile strength, flexural properties, creep and hardness were studied, along with morphology, thermal properties, water degradation and contact angle. The results showed that the mechanical and thermal properties of rPP increased with an increase in 40 wt% of the SD content. Furthermore, the SD content significantly influenced the water uptake of the composites. Time–temperature superposition (TTS) was applied to predict the long-term mechanical performance from short-term accelerated creep tests at a range of elevated temperatures. The short-term creep test showed efficient homogeneity between the fillers and matrix with increasing temperature. The produced wood polymer composites displayed a comparable physical property to virgin polymer and wood and could potentially be used for various structural materials.

description: Fasciola hepatica, commonly referred to as liver flukes, is a substantial zoonotic parasitic disease of humans and livestock globally. While infection is readily controlled by anthelmintics, namely triclabendazole, the heavy reliance on triclabendazole has resulted in drug resistance appearing worldwide. Due to drug resistance, it is imperative to adopt an integrated parasite management program to preserve the efficacy of currently available anthelmintics. A integrated liver fluke management plan would benefit from a simple rapid, field-deployable diagnostic for detection of F. hepatica in environment and the host. Therefore, a rapid DNA test using loop-mediated isothermal amplification was developed and optimised for the detection of F. hepatica from faecal and water samples to enable the detection of parasites both within the host and from the environment. The assay presented here is fast, with amplification in ≤20 min, and highly sensitive, with a detection limit of 5 × 10−4 ng/µL. The workflow presented here provides a time to result of ≤60 min without requiring a commercial kit for the extraction of DNA from faecal and water samples, and pending further validation from field-samples, could potentially be used to enable real-time decision making to mitigate parasite prevalence on a farming property and with no requirement for sample transportation.

description: Deliverable D 4.11 provides a description of the workflow and requirements to ensure interoperability for Open Science and Open Publishing Resources, focusing on the FAIRifiction process in all its aspects.During the definition and refinement of the workflow and requirements, close collaboration with the development of the Common Semantic Framework within WP4 and the design of the H2IOSC MarketPlace (WP5) has, as expected, been essential.Strong links have also emerged and been consolidated with the development of the Pilots within WP7 for the centrality of the FAIRification process.

The workflow, consisting of five phases, is illustrated together with the requirements specified for each phase.Particular attention is paid to the first phase and, secondly, to the second phase in which the greatest progress has been made and the most significant developments and project results have been achieved.

In general, the main results of the workflow and the associated requirements are the construction of the data model with a FAIR approach and the design and implementation of the prototype software for the FAIRification of resources, to be integrated with the H2IOSC MarketPlace. Typically, the workflow also includes functional and performance testing of the developed software prototype and its roll-out, monitoring and fine-tuning.

In parallel, a system for building native FAIR resources and data is being designed and implemented, to be fully integrated with the aforementioned prototype software to ensure effective interoperability and smooth data exchange.

title: Parvalbumin-Expressing Interneurons in the BTBR T+ Itpr3tf/J Idiopathic Mouse Model of Autism Spectrum Disorder

description: Parvalbumin (PV)-expressing inhibitory interneurons are considered critical in regulating excitation/inhibition (E/I) balance and have gained particular interest in the aetiology of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Dysfunction of the dorsal striatum has been profoundly associated with ASD aetiology, regions which are involved in goal-directed and habitual behaviour in the dorsomedial (DMS) and dorsolateral striatum (DLS), respectively. Perineuronal nets (PNNs) are extracellular structures which predominantly surround PV+ interneurons and contribute to their fast-spiking properties. Utilising the BTBR T+ Itpr3tf/J (BTBR) mouse model of ASD, we investigated whether this idiopathic strain exhibits a reduced expression of PV. Through immunohistochemistry, we observed that BTBR mice had a reduced density of PV+ interneurons in the DMS, whilst density of PNNs was unaltered. The percentage of VVA+ cells with PV expression as well as PV levels were found to be significantly decreased, suggesting that BTBR mice present with a downregulation of PV expression in the DMS. We observed that control mice have a greater percentage of PV+ interneurons with PNNs in the DLS than in the DMS, however, BTBR mice were found to not possess such a gradient. We also observed that colocalisation of PV+ interneurons with PNNs in the dorsal striatum was higher in female BTBR mice than in male counterparts. This sex difference was not evident in control mice. PV downregulation may be a common endpoint of ASD aetiology in an idiopathic, and other, mouse models of ASD. Alterations in the colocalisation of PV+ interneurons with PNNs alongside PV reduction have been shown to alter neuronal function and we anticipate that such may also alter E/I balance in BTBR mice. Differences which prevail between sexes in BTBR mice highlight the importance of considering sex in the aetiology of ASD and BTBR may be a particular robust strain to further investigate this.

description: Liquid sample delivery systems are used extensively for serial femtosecond crystallography at X-ray free-electron lasers (XFELs). However, misalignment of the liquid jet and the XFEL beam leads to the X-rays either partially or completely missing the sample, resulting in sample wastage and a loss of experiment time. Implemented here is an algorithm to analyse optical images using machine vision to determine whether there is overlap of the X-ray beam and liquid jet. The long-term goal is to use the output from this algorithm to implement an automated feedback mechanism to maintain constant alignment of the X-ray beam and liquid jet. The key elements of this jet alignment algorithm are discussed and its performance is characterized by comparing the results with a manual analysis of the optical image data. The success rate of the algorithm for correctly identifying hits is quantified via a similarity metric, the Dice coefficient. In total four different nozzle designs were used in this study, yielding an overall Dice coefficient of 0.98.

description: Modern agriculture demands for comprehensive information about the plants themselves. Conventional chemistry-based analytical methods—due to their low throughput and high associated costs—are no longer capable of providing these data. In recent years, remote reflectance-based characterisation has become one of the most promising solutions for rapid assessments of plant attributes. However, in many cases, expensive equipment is required because accurate quantifications need assessments of the full reflectance spectrum. In this experimental study, we examined the versatility of visible spectral sensors as alternative reflectance measuring devices for biological/biochemical quantifications of sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum). Our results confirm the applicability and scope of visible spectral sensors for analysis and quantification of important plant properties, in particular the contents of valuable substances, such as phenolic compounds and flavonoids.

description: Background: People with poorly managed diabetes are at greater risk of periodontal disease. Periodontal disease that is not effectively managed can affect glycaemic levels. Diabetes care providers, including general practitioners and diabetes educators, are encouraged to promote oral health of their clients. However, valid and reliable oral health screening tools that assess the risk of poor oral health, that are easy to administer among non-dental professionals, currently do not exist. Existing screening tools are difficult to incorporate into routine diabetes consultations due to their length. Thus, this study aimed to develop and pilot a short oral health screening tool that would identify risk of existing oral diseases and encourage appropriate referrals to the dental service. Methods: A three-item screening tool was developed after a comprehensive review of the literature and consensus from an expert panel. The tool was then piloted as part of a larger cross-sectional survey of 260 adults with diabetes who were accessing public diabetes clinics at two locations in Sydney, Australia. As part of the survey, participants completed the three-item screening tool and a 14-item validated tool, the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14), which has been used previously in the preliminary validation of screening tools. Sensitivity and specificity analyses were then undertaken comparing the results of the two tools. Results: A statistically significant correlation was found between the shorter screening tool and the OHIP-14 (rho = 0.453, p < 0.001), indicating adequate validity. The three-item tool had high sensitivity (90.5%, 95% CI 84.9%, 94.7%), with a specificity of 46.3% (95% CI 37.7%, 55.2%). The negative predictive value was 81.4% (95% CI 71.3, 89.3). No single item performed as well regarding sensitivity and negative predictive value when compared to the three items collectively. Conclusions: The three-item screening tool developed was found to be valid and sensitive in identifying risk of poor oral health, requiring oral health referrals, among people with diabetes in this pilot. This is a simple, accessible tool that diabetes care providers could incorporate into their routine consultations. Further validation against comprehensive dental assessments is needed to reassess the tool’s specificity and sensitivity in diverse settings.

description: Members of the mammalian Nod-like receptor (NLR) protein family are important intracellular sensors for bacteria. Bacteria have evolved under the pressure of detection by host immune sensing systems, leading to adaptive subversion strategies to dampen immune responses for their benefits. These include modification of microbe-associated molecular patterns (MAMPs), interception of innate immune pathways by secreted effector proteins and sophisticated instruction of anti-inflammatory adaptive immune responses. Here, we summarise our current understanding of subversion strategies used by bacterial pathogens to manipulate NLR-mediated responses, focusing on the well-studied members NOD1/2, and the inflammasome forming NLRs NLRC4, and NLRP3. We discuss how bacterial pathogens and their products activate these NLRs to promote inflammation and disease and the range of mechanisms used by bacterial pathogens to evade detection by NLRs and to block or dampen NLR activation to ultimately interfere with the generation of host immunity. Moreover, we discuss how bacteria utilise NLRs to facilitate immunotolerance and persistence in the host and outline how various mechanisms used to attenuate innate immune responses towards bacterial pathogens can also aid the host by reducing immunopathologies. Finally, we describe the therapeutic potential of harnessing immune subversion strategies used by bacteria to treat chronic inflammatory conditions.

description: The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of contextual features on automatic detection accuracy of online recruitment frauds in Australian job market. In addition, the study aims to unearth the significance of localisation of such approaches. The study first generates a dataset based on a local and semi-structured advertising platform in Australia. The labelled dataset is then used to train a learning model on several content-based and contextual features. The existence of advertising body in relevant government and non-government registries in Australia, along with the internet presence of the advertiser, were considered as contextual features. The extraction process of such contextual features was automated as well. The study concludes that the inclusion of contextual features improves the performance measures of the automated online recruitment fraud detection model. The practical implication of the study is two-folds. Firstly, the contextual feature space generation engine can be used with any dataset, with minimal localisation efforts. Secondly, such learning models can be used in the back end of online job recruitment portals to detect and prevent online recruitment frauds. The study not only demonstrates the positive impact of using contextual features in fraud detection using a real-life dataset, but it also demonstrates how these contextual features can be extracted automatically from the web, based on localised company registries.
