description: Management of datasets that include health information and other sensitive personal information of European study participants has to be compliant with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR, Regulation (EU) 2016/679). Within scientific research, the widely subscribed 'FAIR' data principles should apply, meaning that research data should be findable, accessible, interoperable and re-usable. Balancing the aim of open science driven FAIR data management with GDPR compliant personal data protection safeguards is now a common challenge for many research projects dealing with (sensitive) personal data. In December 2020 a workshop was held with representatives of several large EU research consortia and of the European Commission to reflect on how to apply the FAIR data principles for environment and health research (E&H). Several recent data intensive EU funded E&H research projects face this challenge and work intensively towards developing solutions to access, exchange, store, handle, share, process and use such sensitive personal data, with the aim to support European and transnational collaborations. As a result, several recommendations, opportunities and current limitations were formulated. New technical developments such as federated data management and analysis systems, machine learning together with advanced search software, harmonized ontologies and data quality standards should in principle facilitate the FAIRification of data. To address ethical, legal, political and financial obstacles to the wider re-use of data for research purposes, both specific expertise and underpinning infrastructure are needed. There is a need for the E&H research data to find their place in the European Open Science Cloud. Communities using health and population data, environmental data and other publicly available data have to interconnect and synergize. To maximize the use and re-use of environment and health data, a dedicated supporting European infrastructure effort, such as the EIRENE research infrastructure within the ESFRI roadmap 2021, is needed that would interact with existing infrastructures. © 2022 The Authors

description: Some of the major concerns regarding sewer overflows to receiving water bodies include serious environmental, aesthetic and public health problems. A noble self-cleansing sewer overflow screening device having a sewer overflow chamber, a rectangular tank and a slotted ogee weir to capture the gross pollutants has been investigated. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) techniques are used to simulate the flow phenomena with two different inlet orientations; parallel and perpendicular to the weir direction. CFD simulation results are compared with analytical results. Numerical results show that the flow is not uniform (across the width of the inclined surface) near the top of the inclined surface. The flow becomes uniform near the bottom of the inclined surface, with significant increase of shear stress. The simulation results promises for an effective and efficient self-cleansing sewer overflow screening device by comparing hydrodynamic results.

description: Die Reduzierung der Einträge von Pflanzenschutzmitteln ist eine der vordringlichsten Herausforderungen im vorsorgenden Grundwasserschutz, insbesondere vor dem Hintergrund der Bedeutung des Grundwassers für die Trinkwasserversorgung in Deutschland, um eine zukünftige Verunreinigung des Trinkwassers zu verhindern. Die aktuellen Ergebnisse der Bestandsaufnahme nach EU-Wasserrahmenrichtlinie zeigen, dass vielerorts flächenhafte Belastungen des Grundwassers mit Pflanzenschutzmitteln vorliegen. Besonders häufig werden Wirkstoffe und relevante Metaboliten von Mitteln nachgewiesen, die bereits seit langer Zeit nicht mehr zugelassen sind. Aber auch die sogenannten nicht relevanten Metaboliten stehen aufgrund hoher Fundhäufigkeiten und der fehlenden rechtlichen Regulierung im Fokus der Betrachtung. Aus Gründen des vorsorgenden Trinkwasserschutzes sind die Einträge von Pflanzenschutzmitteln in das Grundwasser weitestgehend zu reduzieren, verbindliche Grenzwerte auch für die nicht relevanten Metaboliten einzuführen und die bestehenden Belastungen umfassend zu überwachen. Als erster Schritt werden im Rahmen der Umsetzung der europäischen Trinkwasserrichtlinie in nationales Recht in einer für Deutschland zu erstellenden neuen Verordnung ("Trinkwassereinzugsgebieteverordnung") auch nicht relevante Metaboliten für das Trinkwasser berücksichtigt. Auch können neue Monitoringansätze wie Non-Target- Screening im Rahmen der chemischen Gewässerüberwachung dazu beitragen, die Belastungssituation noch besser zu beurteilen.

description: Having recently attended my university's graduation ceremony, I noted again what seems to have become a global trend - design is becoming a field where the majority of practitioners are women. I have made similar observations in India, China, and the USA. The question that arises when a field, in which men were the majority, becomes one in which women become the majority is this: what does that shift mean to occupational prestige of the field and the respect women experience within it?

description: We report the first detections of the repeating fast radio burst source FRB 121102 above 5.2 GHz. Observations were performed using the 4-8 GHz receiver of the Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope with the Breakthrough Listen digital backend. We present the spectral, temporal, and polarization properties of 21 bursts detected within the first 60 minutes of a total of 6 hr of observations. These observations comprise the highest burst density yet reported in the literature, with 18 bursts being detected in the first 30 minutes. A few bursts clearly show temporal sub-structure with distinct spectral properties. These sub-structures superimpose to provide an enhanced peak signal-to-noise ratio at higher trial dispersion measures. Broad features occur in ∼1 GHz wide subbands that typically differ in peak frequency between bursts within the band. Finer-scale structures (∼10-50 MHz) within these bursts are consistent with the structure expected from Galactic diffractive interstellar scintillation. The bursts exhibit nearly 100% linear polarization, and a large average rotation measure of 9.359 ± 0.012 ×104 rad m-2 (in the observer's frame). No circular polarization was found for any burst. We measure an approximately constant polarization position angle in the 13 brightest bursts. The peak flux densities of the reported bursts have average values (0.2 ± 0.1 Jy) similar to those seen at lower frequencies (

description: We focus on elliptic quasi-variational inequalities (QVIs) of obstacle type and prove a number of results on the existence of solutions, directional differentiability and optimal control of such QVIs. We give three existence theorems based on an order approach, an iteration scheme and a sequential regularisation through partial differential equations. We show that the solution map taking the source term into the set of solutions of the QVI is directionally differentiable for general unsigned data, thereby extending the results of our previous work which provided a first differentiability result for QVIs in infinite dimensions. Optimal control problems with QVI constraints are also considered and we derive various forms of stationarity conditions for control problems, thus supplying among the first such results in this area.

description: In this short note, we prove that the minimal and maximal solution maps associated to elliptic quasi-variational inequalities of obstacle type are directionally differentiable with respect to the forcing term and for directions that are signed. On the way, we show that the minimal and maximal solutions can be seen as monotone limits of solutions of certain variational inequalities and that the aforementioned directional derivatives can also be characterised as the monotone limits of sequences of directional derivatives associated to variational inequalities.

description: Background: There is little information about the current management of pain after obstetric surgery at Mulago hospital in Uganda, one of the largest hospitals in Africa with approximately 32,000 deliveries per year. The primary goal of this study was to assess the severity of post cesarean section pain. Secondary objectives were to identify analgesic medications used to control post cesarean section pain and resultant patient satisfaction. Methods: We prospectively followed 333 women who underwent cesarean section under spinal anesthesia. Subjective assessment of the participants’ pain was done using the Visual Analogue Scale (0 to 100) at 0, 6 and 24 h after surgery. Satisfaction with pain control was ascertained at 24 h after surgery using a 2-point scale (yes/no). Participants’ charts were reviewed for records of analgesics administered. Results: Pain control medications used in the first 24 h following cesarean section at this hospital included diclofenac only, pethidine only, tramadol only and multiple pain medications. There were mothers who did not receive any analgesic medication. The highest pain scores were reported at 6 h (median: 37; (IQR:37.5). 68% of participants reported they were satisfied with their pain control. Conclusion: Adequate management of post-cesarean section pain remains a challenge at Mulago hospital. Greater inter-professional collaboration, self-administered analgesia, scheduled prescription orders and increasing availability of analgesic drugs may contribute to improved treatment of postoperative pain with better pain scores.

description: In a rapidly urbanizing world, identifying evidence-based strategies to support healthy design is essential. Although urban living offers increased access to critical resources and can help to mitigate climate change, densely populated neighborhood environments are often higher in many of the physical and psychological stressors that are detrimental to health, and lower in the social capital that is beneficial to health. One component of urban form that can reduce these stressors and improve social capital is nature: greenspace, such as parks and street trees, and bluespace, such as rivers and oceans. In this project, we applied measures from a Natural Space Index previously developed for the Vancouver, Canada census metropolitan area to explore the relationship between distinct measures of natural space and prevalence of (1) major depressive disorder, (2) negative mental health, and (3) psychological distress. In addition, we examined direct associations between natural space exposure and neighborhood social capital, as measured via self-reported sense of community belonging (SoC), as well as the potential mental health benefits of natural space mediated via SoC. Using data from the population-based, cross-sectional 2012 Canadian Community Health Survey-Mental Health (weighted n=1,930,048), we found no direct associations between any measure of natural space and mental health in models adjusted for 11 demographic, socioeconomic, household arrangement, health, and urban design variables. However, publicly accessible neighborhood nature was associated with increased odds of higher SoC. A 1% increase in the percentage of natural space (combined greenspace and bluespace) within 500m had an odds ratio [95% confidence interval] of 1.05 [1.00, 1.10] for very strong vs. very weak SoC and 1.04 [1.01, 1.08] for somewhat strong vs. very weak SoC. In addition, higher levels of SoC were associated with improvements in all three mental health outcomes. Mediation tests indicated significant indirect effects of both publicly accessible neighborhood nature variables on reductions in psychological distress and reduced odds of negative mental health via increased sense of SoC. This suggests that natural space has the potential to address the pressing issue of social isolation and, in turn, poor mental health faced by residents of dense urban environments.

description: Face-dependent bulk nanostructuring of Cu metal electrodes is reported, leading to Janus-type electrodes where one face features Cu(OH)2 nanowires while the other face is decorated with CuO nanoflowers. Thermal conversion into CuxO nanowires/nanoflowers as well as chemical reduction to elemental Cu nanowires/nanoflowers demonstrate the versatility of the approach. Initial electrocatalytic studies show the electrochemical reactivity of the composite electrodes.The stable deposition of reactive nanostructures on metal electrodes is a key process for modern technologies including energy conversion/ storage, electrocatalysis or sensing. Here a facile, scalable route is reported, which allows the bulk nanostructuring of copper foam electrodes with metal, metal oxide or metal hydroxide nanostructures. A concentration-gradient driven synthetic approach enables the fabrication of Janus-type electrodes where one face features Cu(OH)2 nanowires, while the other face features CuO nanoflowers. Thermal or chemical conversion of the nanostructured surfaces into copper oxide or copper metal is possible whilst retaining the respective nanostructure morphologies. As proof of concept, the functionalized electrodes are promising in electrocatalytic water oxidation and water reduction reactions.
The effect of environment on the evolution of nearby gas-rich spiral galaxies

description: The distribution of galaxies in the Universe is not uniform - galaxies are located in filamentary structures, groups and clusters. Due to the small separation between galaxies in high density regions, galaxy-galaxy interactions may occur, which can transform the properties of the galaxies. In my thesis, I classify the Ursa Major region and look for evidence of galaxy transformation. This study utilizes observations of neutral hydrogen, which is a sensitive tracer of environmental effects. I find that the Ursa Major region is a `supergroup', i.e. several galaxy groups in the process of merging, whose members show signs of transformation.

description: A Neochloris oleoabundans strain screened in our lab was demonstrated to have the ability to accumulate large quantities of triglycerides, the feedstock of biodiesel production, and to remove nitrogen and phosphorus from wastewater efficiently. Box-Behnken experimental design (BBD) and response surface method (RSM) were used to study the effects of a large number of nutrients on cell growth and lipid accumulation. The optimized medium supported a lipid concentration of 641.4 mg/l and a cell density of 2.54 g/l, which were 4.5-fold and 2.2-fold of that obtained with the basic medium, modified Bristol medium (MBM), respectively. The capacity of the strain for phosphorus removal and nitrogen removal was investigated using artificial wastewater and municipal wastewater effluents. It was demonstrated that the strain could achieve near-zero residual phosphate and nitrogen at the end of cultivation when artificial wastewater contained up to 140 mg N-NO 3-/l and 47 mg P-PO43-/l. The rates of the removal of N-NO3- and P-PO4 3-, are 27.5 mg/l·d, and 9.4 mg/l·d, respectively under optimal conditions. It was observed that the nitrogen content of the wastewater effluent was not sufficient and additional nitrogen source (e.g., NaNO 3) of 70 mg/l was required for optimal cell growth, CO2 fixation, and phosphate removal.

description: There is growing interest in making academic books open access (OA), with the number of OA books increasing each year along with the introduction of additional funder mandates. However, limited awareness amongst authors as well as a lack of understanding and common misconceptions about licensing and quality, form barriers in the transition to OA for books. Within the context of open scholarship this calls for an open resource that is easy to use, kept up-to-date and relevant for researchers and research support worldwide. This has resulted in the concept of an Open Access Books Toolkit: making it easy for authors to find the information they need to publish their research as an open access book. The toolkit has been recently launched, and will be further developed over time with new resources based on user feedback.

description: The revised version of the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II) is one of themost frequently applied questionnaires not only in adults, but also in adolescents. To date, attempts to identify a replicable factor structure of the BDI-II have mainly been undertaken in adult populations. Moreover, most of the studies which included minors and were split by gender lacked confirmatory factor analyses and were generally conducted in healthy adolescents. The present study therefore aimed to determine the goodness of fit of various factor models proposed in the literature in an adolescent clinical sample, to evaluate alternative solutions for the factor structure and to explore potential gender differences in factor loadings. The focus was on testing bifactor models and subsequently on calculating bifactor statistical indices to help clarify whether a uni- or a multidimensional construct is more appropriate, and on testing the best-fitting factor model for measurement invariance according to gender. The sample comprised 835 adolescent girls and boys aged 13–18 years in out- and inpatient setting. Several factor models proposed in the literature provided a good fit when applied to the adolescent clinical sample, and differences in goodness of fit were small. Exploratory factor analyses were used to develop and test a bifactor model that consisted of a general factor and two specific factors, termed cognitive and somatic. The bifactor model confirmed the existence of a strong general factor on which all items load, and the bifactor statistical indices suggest that the BDI-II should be seen as a unidimensional scale. Concerning measurement invariance across gender, there were differences in loadings on item 21 (Loss of interest in sex) on the general factor and on items 1 (Sadness), 4 (Loss of pleasure), and 9 (Suicidal Thoughts) on the specific factors. Thus, partial measurement invariance can be assumed and differences are negligible. It can be concluded that the total score of the BDI-II can be used to measure depression severity in adolescent clinical samples.

description: Plastics, and microplastics in particular, are still part of scientific and regulatory discussions. Their inputs from land ultimately end up in the oceans, where they remain for a long time. River systems represent an important path of entry into the oceans. The Danube is the second largest river in Europe and can therefore be an example for the occurrence of plastic in other large river systems. In JDS4 a comprehensive screening of microplastics was carried out over the entire course of the river. Sampling was performed by means of deploying sedimentation boxes into the river for 14 days; followed by thermo-analytical detection (TED-GC/MS) for determination of the total content of various plastic polymers in the collected suspended particulate matter samples. For the first time, a baseline of pollution by microplastics in the Danube River Basin has been established.

description: We introduce a new method for determining the influence of galaxies and active galactic nuclei (AGN) on the intergalactic medium (IGM) at high redshift and illustrate its potential via a first application to the field of the z = 6.42 QSO J1148+5251. Correlating spatial positions Lyman break galaxies (LBGs) with the Lyman alpha forest seen in the spectrum of a background QSO, we provide a statistical measure of the typical escape fraction of Lyman continuum photons. Using Keck DEIMOS spectroscopy to locate seven colour-selected LBGs in the range 5.3≲z≲6.4 we examine the spatial correlation between this sample and Lyα/Lyβ transmission fluctuations in a Keck ESI spectrum of the QSO. Interpreting the statistical HI proximity effect as arising from faint galaxies clustered around the LBGs, we translate the observed mean Lya transmitted flux into a constraint on the mean escape fraction (fesc) ≥ 0.08 at z ≃ 6. We also report individual transverse HI proximity effect for a z = 6.177 luminous LBG via a Lyβ transmission spike and two broad Lyα transmission spikes around the z = 5.701 AGN. We discuss the origin of such associations which suggest that while faint galaxies are primarily driving reionization, luminous galaxies and AGN may provide important contributions to the UV background or thermal fluctuations of the IGM at z≃6. Although a limited sample, our results demonstrate the potential of making progress using this method in resolving one of the most challenging aspects of the contribution of galaxies and AGN to cosmic reionization.

description: The usual practice of using a control chart to monitor a process is to take samples from the process with fixed sampling interval (FSI). In this paper, a synthetic X¯ control chart with the variable sampling interval (VSI) feature is proposed for monitoring changes in the process mean. The VSI synthetic X¯ chart integrates the VSI X¯ chart and the VSI conforming run length (CRL) chart. The proposed VSI synthetic X¯ chart is evaluated using the average time to signal (ATS) criterion. The optimal charting parameters of the proposed chart are obtained by minimizing the out-of-control ATS for a desired shift. Comparisons between the VSI synthetic X¯ chart and the existing X¯, synthetic X¯, VSI X¯ and EWMA X¯ charts, in terms of ATS, are made. The ATS results show that the VSI synthetic X¯ chart outperforms the other X¯ type charts for detecting moderate and large shifts. An illustrative example is also presented to explain the application of the VSI synthetic X¯ chart.

Subjects: subject: Engineering, System Science.

description: Electronic commerce is growing at an ever increasing pace every year. However, the payment mechanisms in use were developed without electronic commerce in mind, and as a result, must be modified before they may be used for online transactions. In this thesis, the online payment mechanisms in use are analyzed to find out if they meet present day electronic businesses requirements. A comparative study of existing payment mechanisms has been performed and their strengths and weaknesses evaluated. Recommendations are made for improved mechanisms capable of meeting the needs of consumers and businesses today.

description: A novel lithium‐ion battery active material is developed that follows a completely new reaction mechanism: Fe‐doped CeO2. While CeO2 generally hosts Li+ by insertion, the introduction of the slightly off‐centered iron dopant allows for a substantial increase in capacity thanks to the fully reversible reduction of the dopant to the metallic state. The development of alternative anode materials with higher volumetric and gravimetric capacity allowing for fast delithiation and, even more important, lithiation is crucial for next‐generation lithium‐ion batteries. Herein, the development of a completely new active material is reported, which follows an insertion‐type lithiation mechanism, metal‐doped CeO2. Remarkably, the introduction of carefully selected dopants, herein exemplified for iron, results in an increase of the achievable capacity by more than 200%, originating from the reduction of the dopant to the metallic state and additional space for the lithium ion insertion due to a significant off‐centering of the dopant atoms in the crystal structure, away from the original Ce site. In addition to the outstanding performance of such materials in high‐power lithium‐ion full‐cells, the selective reduction of the iron dopant under preservation of the crystal structure of the host material is expected to open up a new field of research

Unamuno's use of contradictions in "Love and Pedagogy".
Creators: name: Novell, José.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1978
Subjects: subject: Education, Philosophy of.

description: The present thesis was undertaken with the purpose of elucidating the confusion surrounding Unamuno's thought. The existence of many contradictory interpretations of Unamuno's ideas, added to his claim that "contradictions" are the core of reality and cannot be avoided, is at the core of the hypothesis that the source of the confusion rests in Unamuno's use of the "contradiction" as a method of inquiry. This study investigated the novel Love and Pedagogy from the methodological standpoint. The first part, descriptive in nature, studies the meaning and use of the "contradiction"; the second part, speculative in nature, deals with the implications of the "contradiction" for education at the ontological, epistemological and axiological levels. It was found that the "contradiction" is a paradigm formed by opposing contradictories and similar to logical and dialectical contradictions. Concisely, the "contradiction" is a real opposition felt by the individual. Two main types of contradictions were distinguished; internal, referring to oppositions within the individual, and external, meaning oppositions between individuals and extremes of different nature imposed by circumstances. "Contradictions" can evolve and be transformed into others, depending upon the circumstances, but the radical opposition between the extremes remains. The education of Apolodoro in Love and Pedagogy reflects these fundamental contradictions. The basic thesis is that an element of difference is essential to education, and that such difference includes or excludes other concepts of education. It was concluded that the "contradiction" creates an ontological state of dependency between two modes of being. There is a radical dichotomy within the individual. Knowledge is viewed as a systematically pluralized process characterized by its preference and affinity for the concrete and its apprehension of the dual nature of reality. The axiology of Love and Pedagogy postulates, as a supreme value, the concrete and personal self. The use of "contradictions" allows for the reversal of values. The final conclusion was that Unamuno's "contradiction" has a heuristic value for philosophy and education.

description: Background: Despite access to quality care at the end-of-life (EOL) being considered a human right, it is not equitable, with many facing significant barriers. Most research examines access to EOL care for homogenous ‘normative’ populations, and as a result, the experiences of those with differing social positioning remain unheard. For example, populations experiencing structural vulnerability, who are situated along the lower rungs of social hierarchies of power (e.g., poor, homeless) will have unique EOL care needs and face unique barriers when accessing care. However, little research examines these barriers for people experiencing life-limiting illnesses and structural vulnerabilities. The purpose of this study was to identify barriers to accessing care among structurally vulnerable people at EOL. Methods: Ethnography informed by the critical theoretical perspectives of equity and social justice was employed. This research drew on 30 months of ethnographic data collection (i.e., observations, interviews) with structurally vulnerable people, their support persons, and service providers. Three hundred hours of observation were conducted in homes, shelters, transitional housing units, community-based service centres, on the street, and at health care appointments. The constant comparative method was used with data collection and analysis occurring concurrently. Results: Five significant barriers to accessing care at EOL were identified, namely: (1) The survival imperative; (2) The normalization of dying; (3) The problem of identification; (4) Professional risk and safety management; and (5) The cracks of a ‘silo-ed’ care system. Together, findings unveil inequities in accessing care at EOL and emphasize how those who do not fit the ‘normative’ palliative-patient population type, for whom palliative care programs and policies are currently built, face significant access barriers. Conclusions: Findings contribute a nuanced understanding of the needs of and barriers experienced by those who are both structurally vulnerable and facing a life-limiting illness. Such insights make visible gaps in service provision and provide information for service providers, and policy decision-makers alike, on ways to enhance the equitable provision of EOL care for all populations.
