description: Recent evidence suggests an association between persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and type 2 diabetes. In two First Nations communities of high wild food consumption, specific objectives were formulated to: (1) compare POP levels between diabetics and non-diabetics; (2) investigate the association between POPs and insulin resistance in non-diabetics; and (3) determine the effects of POPs on certain inflammatory markers. Results indicated significantly higher age-adjusted plasma concentrations of some POPs in diabetics as compared to non-diabetics. Body mass index was found to be the most significant predictor of insulin resistance. There was a positive association of Tumour Necrosis Factor (TNF)-alpha with oxychlordane and mono/di-ortho substituted polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). Positive associations were detected between adiponectin and mono/di-ortho substituted PCBs as well as some pesticides. Results indicate that diabetics have higher levels of some POPs than non-diabetics. In non-diabetics, POPs are unrelated to insulin resistance although some are positively associated with inflammatory markers.

Stochastic design of wastewater flow equalization basins.
Creators: name: MacInnes, Campbell D.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1977
Subjects: subject: Engineering, Civil.

description: Wastewater flow equalization basin volume design has been an imprecise art in which the use of safety factors has been required to allow for the lack of sophistication. A design method is proposed which takes into account the time-dependent nature of flows, the brevity of the observed data record, the facility operation, and the expected performance. Wastewater treatment plant raw inflow rates are modelled using combined deterministic-stochastic time series techniques. Long flowrate series samples generated by Monte Carlo simulation with a fitted time series model are routed through flow equalization basins to estimate their performance capabilities. The routing procedure includes forecasting of inflow rates and storage requirements and adjustment of basin outflow rates at discrete time intervals. With the inclusion of a plant effluent recycle option, the major performance variables are basin overflow occurrence, reduction of diurnal flowrate variance, and the effect of the recycle option on increasing the mean flowrate through the plant. For the Ottawa, Ontario, Green Creek wastewater treatment plant, this study indicates highest expected performance is derived from basins with volumes close to those suggested by previous design methods. The uncertainty in the flows and the limitations inherent in basin operation contribute to a reduction in attainable performance from the ideal level.

Debts and other legacies
Creators: name: Neumann, Klaus

description: Greece wants war reparations and loan repayments from Germany, writes Klaus Neumann, and the idea isn't as far-fetched as it might sound. It still isn't clear whether Greece will default on its massive foreign debt, and even less certain what will happen if it does. Economists need look no further than Germany to get a glimpse of possible scenarios - not because Germany's inflexibility could trigger Greece's insolvency but because, having defaulted at least three times in the past hundred years, Germany has accurately been called the 'biggest debt transgressor of the twentieth century.'
Existence of optimal controls for second-order nonlinear evolution equations.
Creators: name: Kerbal, Sebti.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1993
Subjects: subject: Mathematics.

description: In this thesis we study the question of existence of optimal controls for systems governed by second order nonlinear evolution equations. Let I = ($0,\ T$), $(X, H, X\sp\*)$ be an evolution triple, with compact embedding $X\to H\to X\sp\*$ and Y a separable, reflexive Banach space, modeling the control space. Here $X\sp\*$ denote the dual of the Banach space X. Let $t\to U(t)$ be a measurable set-valued map with values $U(t)\in 2\sp{Y}.$ For admissible controls, we introduce the class ${\cal U}\sb{ad}$ given by $U\sb{ad}\equiv\{ u: I\mapsto Y$, strongly measurable, and $u(t)\in U(t) a.e.\}$. We consider the following Lagrange type optimal control problem: $$\left\{\eqalign{&J(x,u) = f\sbsp{0}{T} L(t,x (t), \dot x(t), u(t))dt\ \to\inf\cr&subject\ to\ the\ following\ state\ and\ control\ constraints:\cr&\ddot x(t) + A(t,\dot x(t) + Bx(t)) = f(t,x(t))u(t),\cr& x(0) =x\sb0\in X, \dot x(0) = x\sb1\in H, u(t)\in U(t)\ a.e.\cr}\right\}(P)$$ To establish the existence of an optimal pair $\{$x,u$\}$ for the problem (P), an appropriate hypotheses on the data have been introduced and some apriori bounds for the admissible trajectories of (P) have been derived.

description: Therapeutics Letter 114 looks at Shingrix, a new vaccine for shingles. Conclusions: Compared to placebo the Shingrix vaccine reduced the incidence of herpes zoster by 3.26 % (NNV = 31) over 3.5 years in all age groups and reduced the incidence of post-herpetic neuralgia by 0.28% (NNV ≈ 350). Compared to placebo Shingrix increased grade 3 systemic reactions (which prevented normal daily activities for about 1-3 days) by 4 to 9% (NNH 11 to 25). The effectiveness (i.e. maintained protection) and safety of Shingrix are still unknown beyond about four years. Discuss the balance of baseline herpes zoster risk, harms, benefits and costs when considering this vaccine.

description: Background Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a complex, irreversible neurodegenerative disorder. At present there are neither reliable markers to diagnose AD at an early stage nor therapy. To investigate underlying disease mechanisms, induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) allow the generation of patient-derived neuronal cells in a dish. Results In this study, employing iPS technology, we derived and characterized iPSCs from dermal fibroblasts of an 82-year-old female patient affected by sporadic AD. The AD-iPSCs were differentiated into neuronal cells, in order to generate disease-specific protein association networks modeling the molecular pathology on the transcriptome level of AD, to analyse the reflection of the disease phenotype in gene expression in AD-iPS neuronal cells, in particular in the ubiquitin- proteasome system (UPS), and to address expression of typical AD proteins. We detected the expression of p-tau and GSK3B, a physiological kinase of tau, in neuronal cells derived from AD-iPSCs. Treatment of neuronal cells differentiated from AD-iPSCs with an inhibitor of γ-secretase resulted in the down-regulation of p-tau. Transcriptome analysis of AD-iPS derived neuronal cells revealed significant changes in the expression of genes associated with AD and with the constitutive as well as the inducible subunits of the proteasome complex. The neuronal cells expressed numerous genes associated with sub-regions within the brain thus suggesting the usefulness of our in- vitro model. Moreover, an AD-related protein interaction network composed of APP and GSK3B among others could be generated using neuronal cells differentiated from two AD-iPS cell lines. Conclusions Our study demonstrates how an iPSC-based model system could represent (i) a tool to study the underlying molecular basis of sporadic AD, (ii) a platform for drug screening and toxicology studies which might unveil novel therapeutic avenues for this debilitating neuronal disorder.

description: The transfer of inappropriate health technology to less developed countries constitutes a large obstacle to the improvement of health in the Third World. Technology transferred through three major mechanisms is examined: Multinational Corporations, Foreign Aid and Education. The technology is evaluated based on a criteria of appropriateness determined from the needs of less developed countries. The criteria of appropriateness incorporated morbidity and mortality, economic, sociocultural, and political factors. Recommendations to redress the inappropriate transfer of technology are set forth in the conclusions.

The proprotein convertases in the murine small intestine
Creators: name: Gagnon, Jeffrey

Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Chemistry, Biochemistry.
subject: Biology, Physiology.

description: The small intestine (SI) is a major endocrine organ with over 40 precursor hormones produced and proteolytically matured into active peptide hormones which signal throughout the body including the pancreas and CNS. One group of enzymes believed to be responsible for this maturation is the family of protein convertases (PCSKs). Using double immunofluorescent microscopy, the spatial localization of PCSK1, 2 and 3 in each region of the SI and colocalization with potential intestinal substrates was examined in mice. A unique regional expression pattern was observed for each of the PCSKs and several hormones examined exhibited high levels of colocalization. Next the gastrointestinal physiology of the PCSK2 knock out (KO) mouse was examined and correlated with the circulating levels of hormones known to mediate these functions. KO animals consume less food immediately after refeeding and have delayed intestinal transit. Several of the hormones responsible for feeding and intestinal motility were modulated in the PCSK KO animals. These studies suggest that the PCSK1 2 and 3 are present in the SI and required for normal functionality.

description: L'intérêt ultime de cette thèse est d'étudier le pouvoir de l'ADN à partir d'une approche foucaldienne. Pour ce faire, nous avons analysé une formation discursive du discours sur l'ADN soit le débat politique lié à l'instauration de la Banque nationale de données génétiques au Canada. Concrètement, la question qui guide notre recherche est: comment le discours lié à l'instauration de la Banque nationale de données génétiques produit-il le pouvoir de l'ADN? Une analyse discursive foucaldienne des mémoires déposés au comité parlementaire étudiant le projet de loi C-3 nous a permis d'identifier certaines règles concernant les façons dont nous pouvons parler et penser l'ADN. En plus, nous avons identifié certains sujets/acteurs et pratiques institutionnelles qui sont désormais liés à l'ADN, et les façons dont le savoir de l'ADN acquiert de l'autorité. Nous avons pu avec ces résultats exposer trois effets de pouvoir qui émergent de la formation discursive analysée: la juridiciarisation de la génétique, la réduction génétique du criminel et la scientifisation de l'enquête. Cette recherche contribue à combler un manque de connaissances théoriques et empiriques sur la question de l'ADN.

description: While interplay between BRCA1 and AURKA-RHAMM-TPX2-TUBG1 regulates mammary epithelial polarization, common genetic variation in HMMR (gene product RHAMM) may be associated with risk of breast cancer in BRCA1 mutation carriers. Following on these observations, we further assessed the link between the AURKA-HMMR-TPX2-TUBG1 functional module and risk of breast cancer in BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation carriers. Forty-one single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were genotyped in 15,252 BRCA1 and 8,211 BRCA2 mutation carriers and subsequently analyzed using a retrospective likelihood approach. The association of HMMR rs299290 with breast cancer risk in BRCA1 mutation carriers was confirmed: per-allele hazard ratio (HR) = 1.10, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.04 – 1.15, p = 1.9 x 10−4 (false discovery rate (FDR)-adjusted p = 0.043). Variation in CSTF1, located next to AURKA, was also found to be associated with breast cancer risk in BRCA2 mutation carriers: rs2426618 per-allele HR = 1.10, 95% CI 1.03 – 1.16, p = 0.005 (FDR-adjusted p = 0.045). Assessment of pairwise interactions provided suggestions (FDR-adjusted pinteraction values > 0.05) for deviations from the multiplicative model for rs299290 and CSTF1 rs6064391, and rs299290 and TUBG1 rs11649877 in both BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers. Following these suggestions, the expression of HMMR and AURKA or TUBG1 in sporadic breast tumors was found to potentially interact, influencing patients’ survival. Together, the results of this study support the hypothesis of a causative link between altered function of AURKA-HMMR-TPX2-TUBG1 and breast carcinogenesis in BRCA1/2 mutation carriers.

description: We report on a 70-year-old woman who tried to eliminate ants from her kitchen by applying a publicly available insecticide spray. Immediately afterwards, she felt dyspnoea, superseded by heavy chest pain. High-sensitivity troponin concentration increased from 33 to 149 ng/L (cut-off 50 ng/L). Significant coronary stenosis was excluded by coronary angiography, and the myocardial damage was classified as myocardial infarction type II. After exclusion of other potential mechanisms, we consider a cardiotoxic effect of the insecticide mixture of cypermethrin, tetramethrin, and piperonyl butoxide possible. We conclude that consumer information has to be improved. This concerns sustainable control measures adapted to the target insect species (in this case, the black garden ant Lasius niger), and differentiation between authorized and non-authorized but notified products. The instructions for use should give clear information on vulnerable groups and recommend personal protective equipment. Physicians and authorities should be alert to cardiac side-effects of insecticides. Source: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com

Exploring How Model Oriented Programming Can Be Extended to the User Interface Level

description: The purpose of our research is to explore the alternatives to extend well-defined UML to the user interface level. For the novice software modeler there is a gap between how the model looks and how the final product should look. The implications of some design decisions might not be easy to analyze without strategies like story boards, prototyping, etc. A cornerstone of our work is the use of the text-based modeling language Umple (UML Programming Language) and its metamodel as input. Umple has a similar syntax to Java, but is enhanced with additional modeling constructs. In this way our target was the creation of a code generator capable of interpreting a subset of the Umple language to produce complete working applications, by providing a translation into existing object-oriented programming languages. Using this generator, the software modeler can create working prototypes to help him to validate the correctness of the designed model.

description: Vascular calcification resulting from hyperphosphatemia is a major determinant of mortality in chronic kidney disease (CKD). Vascular calcification is driven by aldosterone-sensitive osteogenic transformation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). We show that even in absence of exogenous aldosterone, silencing and pharmacological inhibition (spironolactone, eplerenone) of the mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) ameliorated phosphate-induced osteo-/chondrogenic transformation of primary human aortic smooth muscle cells (HAoSMCs). High phosphate concentrations up-regulated aldosterone synthase (CYP11B2) expression in HAoSMCs. Silencing and deficiency of CYP11B2 in VSMCs ameliorated phosphate-induced osteogenic reprogramming and calcification. Phosphate treatment was followed by nuclear export of APEX1, a CYP11B2 transcriptional repressor. APEX1 silencing up-regulated CYP11B2 expression and stimulated osteo-/chondrogenic transformation. APEX1 overexpression blunted the phosphate-induced osteo-/chondrogenic transformation and calcification of HAoSMCs. Cyp11b2 expression was higher in aortic tissue of hyperphosphatemic klotho-hypomorphic (kl/kl) mice than in wild-type mice. In adrenalectomized kl/kl mice, spironolactone treatment still significantly ameliorated aortic osteoinductive reprogramming. Our findings suggest that VSMCs express aldosterone synthase, which is up-regulated by phosphate-induced disruption of APEX1-dependent gene suppression. Vascular CYP11B2 may contribute to stimulation of VSMCs osteo-/chondrogenic transformation during hyperphosphatemia.

description: La relation épistolaire entre Jean-Jacques Rousseau et la comtesse d'Houdetot a ceci de particulier qu'elle se transforme en échange mortifère. Cette correspondance met en évidence la potentialité démiurgique de l'écriture épistolaire et sa dimension solipsiste. La lettre confère à l'épistolier des pouvoirs déréalisants qui lui permettent de transformer l'autre et la réalité à l'image de ses désirs. Cependant, les créations générées par l'écriture s'avèrent plus satisfaisantes. L'épistolier en vient donc à préférer l'écriture à la vie, la fiction à la réalité. L'échange fait disparaître le destinataire au profit de son double d'ancre et de papier, ce qui revient à dire que le scripteur dialogue avec lui-même par le détour d'un être fantasme. Au terme de cette double métamorphose, celle de l'autre et celle de la réalité, il ne reste plus au moi que lui-même comme partenaire et, croyant à la maîtrise parfaite de l'autre et du monde, il se suffit à lui-même comme Dieu.

description: Background: The patterns and determinants of long-term income among young people surviving cancer, and differences compared to peers, have not yet been fully explored. The objectives of this paper are to describe long-term income among young survivors of cancer, the impact of socio-demographic, disease, and treatment factors on long-term income, and income relative to the general population. Methods: Retrospective cohort study with comparison group from the general population, using linked population-based registries, clinical data, and tax-records. Multivariate random effects regression models were used to determine survivor income, compare long-term income between survivors and comparators, and assess income determinants. Subjects included all residents of British Columbia (BC), Canada, diagnosed with cancer before 25 years of age and surviving 5 years or more. Comparators were selected from the BC general population matched by gender and birth year. Results: Young cancer survivors earned significantly less than the general population. In addition, survivors of central nervous system tumors have significantly lower incomes than lymphoma survivors. Survivors who received radiation therapy have significantly lower income. Results should be interpreted with caution as the comparator group was matched by gender and date of birth. Conclusions: Depending on original diagnosis, treatment, and other characteristics, survivors face significantly lower income than peers and may require supports to gain and retain paid employment. Lower income will affect their opportunity for independent living, and will reduce productivity in the labour force.

This machine is obsolete: a listeners' guide to Nine Inch Nails' The Fragile
Creators: name: Burns, Alex
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The industrial music group Nine Inch Nails' album The Fragile (1999) is a gritty meditation on The End. Dominant approaches in late 1990s cyberculture criticism are critiqued, drawing on millennialist subcultures as dynamically emergent from ideas, social change and religious traditions. NIN's Trent Reznor is posited as an industrial music practitioner comparable to David Cronenberg, Mark Dery, Kodwo Eshun or Greil Marcus. The paper then provides a hermeneutic and phenomenological analysis of The Fragile as an ur-text of Reznor's (attempted) cultural adaptation and psychological survival in a fragmented world, where the future is always bleeding into a non-recoverable past. At millennium's end, industrial and electronica music like The Fragile capture the 'assimilation gap' between 19th century 'war on self' worldviews, the Sadeian aesthetics of Dark Eros, and the dynamic synthesis of disciplines striving toward a unity of knowledge.

description: Unter Carbon Capture and Utilization, kurz CCU, verstehen wir Abscheidung, Transport und anschließende Nutzung von Kohlenstoff. In Klimaschutzdebatten werden CCU-Maßnahmen als schnelle Lösung für eine treibhausgasneutrale Industrie angeführt. Sie werden als vielversprechend erachtet, da sich durch die Substitution fossiler Produkte ein geringerer Ausstoß von Emissionen zu ergeben scheint. Jedoch muss die Klimewirkung des gesamten CCU-Prozesses betrachtet werden. Welche Rolle kann CCU wirklich bei der Transformation und in einem zukünftigen defossilen Wirtschaftssystem spielen? Die vorliegende UBA-Studie systematisiert und bewertet dies nach Aspekten des Klimaschutzes sowie der Rohstoffversorgung. Quelle: www.umweltbundesamt.de
description: Under Carbon Capture and Utilization (CCU) we summarise all relevant technologies for capturing, transport, and the subsequent utilisation of carbon. In the promising perspective CCU seems to reduce emissions by substitution of fossil products. For the evaluation we have to apply a more holistic view on these technologies and especially their energy consumption. In order to clarify the role of CCU in the near future as well as for a fossil free future society, the study by the German Environment Agency (⁠UBA⁠) evaluates CCU. Main perspectives are the role in greenhouse gas mitigation as well as the role of CCU for future carbon feedstock sourcing for fuels and the chemical industry.

Subjects: subject: Computer Science.

description: A relational method is presented for specifying a software system and detecting feature interaction. The method used allows for the independent specification of features and the detection of interactions between features. This method is based on the lattice properties of the refinement ordering between specifications. The specification of a feature is given by a relation between the inputs and the outputs of a system and the combination of the features is given by taking the greatest lower bound of all features.

description: Background In times of increasing global challenges to health, it is crucial to create a workforce capable of tackling these complex issues. Even though a lack of GHE in Germany is perceived by multiple stakeholders, no systematic analysis of the current landscape exists. The aim of this study is to provide an analysis of the global health education (GHE) capacity in Germany as well as to identify gaps, barriers and future strategies. Methods An online search in combination with information provided by student representatives, course coordinators and lecturers was used to create an overview of the current GHE landscape in Germany. Additionally, a semi-structured questionnaire was sent to GHE educators and students engaged in global health (GH) to assess the capacity of German GHE, its barriers and suggested strategies for the future. Results A total of 33 GHE activities were identified at 18 German universities. Even though medical schools are the main provider of GHE (42%), out of 38 medical schools, only 13 (34%) offer any kind of GHE. Modules offered for students of other health-related professions constitute 27% of all activities. Most survey respondents (92%, n = 48) consider current GHE activities in Germany insufficient. Suggested formats were GHE as part of medical curricula (82%, n = 45) and dual degree MD/MPH or PhD programs. Most important barriers mentioned were low priority of GH at faculties and academic management levels (n = 41, 75%) as well as lack of necessary institutional structures (n = 33, 60%). Conclusions Despite some innovative academic approaches, there is clearly a need for more systematic GHE in Germany. GHE educators and students can take an important role advocating for more awareness at university management level and suggesting ways to institutionalize GHE to overcome barriers. This study provides key evidence, relevant perceptions and suggestions to strengthen GHE in Germany.
