description: Today, Ireland is recognised as a leader among European countries in advancing gender equality (GE) in higher education. The remarkable characteristic of this profile, though, is the speed at which the higher education (HE) sector has embedded GE as a distinctive and integral feature of the system. Although there were efforts to advance gender equality in the Irish higher education sector, the importance of the topic did not take hold until 2015-2016. At that point, two events of enduring significance occurred. One was consensus in the higher education institutions (HEIs), supported by the Higher Education Authority (HEA), to adopt the Athena Swan framework for gender equality plans (GEPs). The other was publication by the HEA of an investigative report, with recommendations, by a committee led by former European Commissioner for Research and Innovation, Maire Geoghegan-Quinn.Little is known about advancing change across a higher education system in one country as a national priority. This paper explores the changes within the Irish HE landscape to unearth lessons learned and to address how Ireland as a case study, with government focus and support, has transformed the EDI agenda in the context of GE. The paper is based on, and draws from, a recent publication on this subject to which change leaders have contributed reflections to embed an EDI landscape. It discusses the methods by which collaboration on this book project was developed and supported, and the value of this reflective approach in making sense of the fast-paced change of the last decade. The paper highlights challenges and well as opportunities encountered along the way and briefly reflects on the maturation of the gender equality agenda in the current context

description: Background When the novel coronavirus pandemic emerged in March 2020, many settings across Canada and the USA were already contending with an existing crisis of drug overdoses due to the toxic unregulated drug supply. In response, the Canadian province of British Columbia (BC) released innovative risk mitigation prescribing (RMP) guidelines for medical professionals to prescribe pharmaceutical alternatives to unregulated drugs in an effort to support the self-isolation of people who use unregulated drugs (PWUD) in preventing both SARS-CoV-2 virus infection and overdoses. We sought to assess the level of awareness of RMP and identify factors associated with this awareness among PWUD in Vancouver, BC. Methods Cross-sectional data were derived from participants enrolled in three community-recruited prospective cohort studies of PWUD in Vancouver, interviewed between July and November 2020. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to identify factors associated with awareness of RMP. Results Among 633 participants, 302 (47.7%) had heard of RMP. Of those 302 participants, 199 (65.9%) had never tried to access RMP services, ten (3.3%) made an unsuccessful attempt to access RMP, and 93 (30.8%) received RMP. In the multivariable analysis, participants who had awareness of RMP guidelines were more likely to self-identify as white (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 1.47; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.01, 2.13), to have completed secondary school education or higher (AOR = 1.67; 95% CI: 1.16, 2.39), to have used drugs at a supervised consumption or overdose prevention site in the past six months (AOR = 1.66; 95% CI: 1.10, 2.52), and to have received opioid agonist therapy as treatment for opioid use disorder in the past six months (AOR = 1.51; 95% CI: 1.02, 2.24). Conclusion At least four months after the release of the guidelines, RMP was known to less than half of our study participants, warranting urgent educational efforts for PWUD, particularly among racialized groups and those who were not accessing other harm reduction services. Furthermore, the majority of participants who were aware of RMP guidelines had never tried to access the service, suggesting the need to improve perceived accessibility and knowledge of eligibility criteria.

description: In this document measurements of a star through turbulence media made by a dual system of event-based cameras are presented. The motivation is to experimentally demonstrate concepts over the sensitivity of these sensors to measure turbulence at different scales, i.e. both cameras are attached to different optical telescopes. The posterior analysis of these data can serve us to design optical systems that can exploit the potential of these cameras. In particular, due to our principal objective is to detect and track satellites, the optical scales used are of a wide FOV. This work, as far as we know, are the first side by side data captured with event-based cameras.

description: Beyond Site-Testing and Site-Selection for Astronomical Observations or Optical Ground Stations for Optical Communications, precise nocturnal and diurnal knowledge of atmospheric turbulence parameters is of interest for the technical specifications of the Adaptive Optics (AO) systems dedicated to real-time correction of the atmospheric turbulence. In addition, the CN2 (h) profiles (as well as wind and outer scale profiles) with high vertical resolution is necessary for a better evaluation of the performance of AO systems. A large number of monitors have been developed for this purpose, particularly with the emergence of ELT projects, but very few meet the required need. Indeed, a minority of these instruments are profilers, the majority of which are limited by the vertical resolution and/or confined to part of the atmosphere (Ground Layer or Free Atmosphere). When these limitations are lifted, some profilers require telescopes larger than 1m in diameter. On the other hand, there is a strong imbalance in favor of night monitors, whereas there is an insistent need for daytime conditions, especially for optical telecommunications. Generally, the majority of existing monitors are dedicated to the measurement of integrated turbulence parameters and not necessarily whole of them, only partially meeting the need and without any guarantee on the relevance and reliability of their results.

description: Introduction Bystanders to drug overdoses often avoid or delay calling 9–1-1 and cite fear of police involvement as a main reason. In 2017, the Good Samaritan Drug Overdose Act (GSDOA) was enacted by the Canadian government to provide people present at an overdose with legal protection from charges for simple drug possession, and conditions stemming from simple possession. Few studies have taken a multi-methods approach to evaluating the GSDOA. We used quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews to explore awareness, understanding, and perceptions of the GSDOA in people at risk of witnessing an overdose. Methods Quantitative cross-sectional surveys and qualitative telephone interviews were conducted with adults and youth at risk of witnessing an overdose across British Columbia. Cross-sectional survey participants were recruited at 19 Take Home Naloxone sites and online through Foundry. Multivariable logistic regression models were constructed hierarchically to determine factors associated with GSDOA awareness. Telephone interview participants were recruited by research assistants with lived/living experience of substance use. Deductive and inductive thematic analyses were conducted to identify major themes. Results Overall, 52.7% (n = 296) of the quantitative study sample (N = 453) reported being aware of the GSDOA. In multivariable analysis, cellphone possession (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 2.19; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.36, 3.54) and having recently witnessed an opioid overdose (AOR = 2.34; 95% CI 1.45, 3.80) were positively associated with GSDOA awareness. Young adults (25 – 34 years) were more likely to be aware of the Act (AOR = 2.10; 95% CI 1.11, 3.98) compared to youth (16–24 years). Qualitative interviews (N = 42) revealed that many overestimated the protections offered by the GSDOA. To increase awareness and knowledge of the Act among youth, participants recommended adding the GSDOA to school curricula and using social media. Word of mouth was suggested to reach adults. Conclusion Both awareness and knowledge of the GSDOA remain low in BC, with many overestimating the protections the Act offers. Dissemination efforts should be led by people with lived/living experience and should target those with limited awareness and understanding of the Act as misunderstandings can erode trust in law enforcement and harm reduction policy.

description: With a pressing water shortage and prevalent, long-lasting droughts, desalination of seawater by reverse osmosis provides an attractive technology to counteract these worsening conditions. Reverse osmosis uses an applied hydraulic pressure to force a salt solution through a semi-permeable membrane, separating the salt ions from the water. Because of the nature of ion transport in aqueous solutions, molecular dynamics (MD) positions itself well for the study of these systems. A useful MD simulation technique for studying transport in bulk and interfacial systems, reverse nonequilibrium molecular dynamics (RNEMD), could be applied to the study of water desalination if an algorithm were developed which imposes an unphysical flux across an interface, while the system responds by creating a concentration difference across the same membrane. In this work, we present a novel algorithm that allows particle positions to be swapped between non-adjacent regions of a simulation box, resulting in an applied particle flux. We show that the scaled particle flux (SPF) method accurately calculates diffusion coefficients while maintaining energy and linear momentum constraints without the need for an external thermostat. As a result, we can map the temperature dependence of diffusion when used in tandem with a thermal flux.

The development of the SPF-RNEMD algorithm, and the consequences of this development procedure are explored for our open-source molecular dynamics engine, OpenMD. Here we show how the method can be applied to charge separation techniques in ionic solutions. We also applied the method to the interfacial systems of nanoporous graphene in molecular and aqueous salt solutions. In the molecular case, permeabilities are computed by imposing a molecular flux between regions on opposite sides of the membrane and measuring both the hydraulic and osmotic pressures that develop as a result of this flux. For aqueous salt solutions, the effect of pore size on salt permeabilities is studied; however, because of the concentration dependence of the method, our findings suggest that the use of a solvent flux in a desalination study may yield better results.

REINFORCEMENT LEARNING
SOFT ACTOR-CRITIC
COST-EFFECTIVE

description: Optical satellite communications receivers can greatly benefit from single mode fiber coupling for optical ampli- fication and coherent communication over long distances. However, efficient single mode fiber coupling requires the use of adaptive optics to dynamically correct the distorted beam wavefront caused by atmospheric turbu- lence. Traditional adaptive optics systems suffer from high complexity and cost, with a significant fraction of the cost arising from the wavefront sensor. Wavefront sensors are limited in dynamic range, consume a frac- tion of the incident beam intensity, and introduce latency between the measurement and the actuation of the deformable mirror. To mitigate these disadvantages, we propose using a reinforcement learning (RL) controller via a soft actor-critic (SAC) model to generate deformable mirror commands for maximal coupling of 1550 nm light from a 0.5 m aperture telescope into a single-mode fiber under moderate and severe turbulence conditions. Without wavefront measurement, the SAC controller is capable of building a relationship between a 2x2 pixel focal plane intensity measurement and deformable mirror actuators states, replacing the costly wavefront sensor. The simulations are conducted under different atmospheric distortions by varying the Fried parameter. From our simulations, the proposed SAC algorithm can effectively rebuild the distorted wavefront with a Strehl ratio of 55% and couple it into a single-mode fiber under different turbulence conditions.

description: Adsorption with activated carbon (AC) is an important method for the treatment of heavy metal wastewater, but there are still certain challenges in the separation and reuse of activated carbon. The preparation of magnetic activated carbon (MAC) by modifying AC is one of the effective means to realize the separation of AC from solution after the adsorption process. In this work, lignite and poplar leaves were used as raw materials for co-pyrolysis, and the co-pyrolysis char was activated and modified to prepare MAC. The structure and properties were characterized by VSM, N2 adsorption, SEM, XRD, and FT-IR. At the same time, the adsorption performance of MAC on wastewater containing Pb and Cd ions was studied. The results show that the prepared MAC contains Fe₃O₄, and the saturation magnetization (Ms) of the MAC is 13.83 emu/g; the specific surface area of the MAC is 805.86 m²/g, and the micropore volume is 0.23 cm³/g; the MAC exhibited a good porous structure. When the pH value of the solution was 5, the adsorption time was 120 min, the dosage of MAC was 4 g/L, the initial concentration of Pb ion solution was 50 mg/L, and that of Cd ion solution was 25 mg/L, and the adsorption temperature was 30 °C, the adsorption efficiency of Pb, Cd ions were 84.40 and 78.80%, respectively, and the adsorption capacities were 10.55 and 4.93 mg/g, respectively. The adsorption of Pb and Cd ions by MAC conforms to the Langmuir adsorption model, which is a monolayer adsorption. The adsorption process is mainly chemical adsorption, which can be better described by the pseudo-second-order model. The adsorption thermodynamic analysis showed that the adsorption of Pb and Cd ions by MAC was a spontaneous reaction, and the higher the temperature, the stronger the spontaneity.

description: Medium-voltage DC (MVDC) distribution is an enabling technology for the electrification of transportation such as aircraft and shipboard. One main obstacle for DC distribution is the lack of adequate circuit fault protection. The challenges are due to the rapidly rising fault currents and absence of zero crossings in DC systems compared to AC counterparts. Existing DC breaker solutions lack comprehensive consideration of energy efficiency, power density, fault interruption speed, reliability, and implementation cost.

In this thesis, two circuit topologies of improved DC circuit breakers are developed: the resonant current source based hybrid DC breaker (RCS-HDCB) and the high temperature superconductor fault current limiter based solid state DC breaker (HTS-FCL-SSDCB). The RCS-HDCB utilizes a controllable resonant current source based upon wide bandgap (WBG) switches that enable low loss and fast fault interruption due to the fast switching speed. The voltage applied by the controllable resonant current source is much lower than the rated voltage of the DC breaker, allowing the utilization of significantly lower voltage rated WBG switches. The conduction path's sole component is a fast-actuating ultra-low resistance vacuum interrupter for high efficiency during normal operation. As the second DC breaker concept, the HTS-FCL-SSDCB is subdivided into a fault current limiter (FCL) and solid state DC breaker (SSDCB). The FCL is based upon a high temperature superconductor cable which has natural fault current limiting capabilities while having negligible insertion losses for normal load currents. The SSDCB utilizes WBG switches to decrease conduction losses compared to Silicon-based breakers. The FCL reduces fault current such that the number of semiconductive switches in the SSDCB is minimized. Both breakers feature a metal-oxide varistor device in parallel to clamp overvoltages and dissipate energy after fault interruption.

Modeling, simulation, and analysis in electrical and thermal domains are conducted to verify the functionality of the DC circuit breakers. The simulation results confirm the feasibility of these two DC breakers in their proposed applications of 2.4 kV electric aircraft and 20 kV shipboard MVDC distribution systems.

description: Cannabis is the second most commonly used impairing substance by drivers, after alcohol. As more countries legalize cannabis, there is concern that cannabis-impaired driving will increase. In many countries, police use roadside devices to test for oral fluid THC (the primary psychotropic component in cannabis) to identify drivers who used cannabis; including in countries with non-zero per se limits for THC in blood. This practice is questioned as previous research demonstrates a poor correlation between oral fluid and blood THC concentrations at the individual level. We conducted a meta-analysis to identify all research that compared oral fluid with blood THC levels. We obtained individual-level data from study authors and analyzed pooled individual-level data to calculate sensitivity and specificity of oral fluid THC (at various cut-off values) to detect blood THC above different concentration limits. Finally, we explored practical implications of using oral fluid THC in an enforcement context. Our review found THC concentrations measured in over 18,000 paired samples of oral fluid and blood. We found a good correlation between the presence of THC in oral fluid and presence of THC in blood (sensitivity = 71.2%, specificity = 97.7%). However oral fluid THC, at commonly used cut-off values, is less sensitive and less specific when used as a biomarker to detect people with blood THC concentrations above commonly used per se limits (such as 5 ng/mL). As such, there will be a large number of “false positive” tests if oral fluid THC testing were used as a biomarker for “illegal” THC concentrations in randomly selected drivers. We argue that the adverse implications of false positive oral fluid THC tests in this context outweigh the possible road safety benefits and we recommend against oral fluid THC screening in randomly selected drivers in countries with nonzero per se limits for blood THC. In contrast, oral fluid THC tests appear to be useful for investigating “high-risk” drivers who come to police attention because of evidence of impairment.

description: Here, biophysical properties of membranes enriched in three metabolically related sterols are analyzed both in vitro and in vivo. Unlike cholesterol and ergosterol, the common metabolic precursor zymosterol is unable to induce the formation of a liquid ordered (lo) phase in model lipid membranes and can easily accommodate in a gel phase. As a result, Zym has a marginal ability to modulate the passive membrane permeability of lipid vesicles with different compositions, contrary to cholesterol and ergosterol. Using fluorescence-lifetime imaging microscopy of an aminostyryl dye in living mammalian and yeast cells we established a close parallel between sterol-dependent membrane biophysical properties in vivo and in vitro. This approach unraveled fundamental differences in yeast and mammalian plasma membrane organization. It is often suggested that, in eukaryotes, areas that are sterol-enriched are also rich in sphingolipids, constituting highly ordered membrane regions. Our results support that while cholesterol is able to interact with saturated lipids, ergosterol seems to interact preferentially with monounsaturated phosphatidylcholines. Taken together, we show that different eukaryotic kingdoms developed unique solutions for the formation of a sterol-rich plasma membrane, a common evolutionary trait that accounts for sterol structural diversity.

These include an individual’s residential proximity to roads, measurement of individual pollutants as surrogates or markers, as well as dispersion and land use regression (LUR) models. Hopanes are organic compounds still commonly found on ambient particulate matter and are specific markers of combustion engine primary emissions, but they have not been previously used in personal exposure studies. In this paper, children’s personal exposures to TRAP were evaluated using hopanes determined from weekly integrated filters collected as part of a personal exposure study in Windsor, Canada. These hopane measurements were used to evaluate how well other commonly used proxies of exposure to TRAP performed. Several of the LUR exposure estimates for a range of air pollutants were associated with the children’s summer personal hopane exposures (r = 0.41–0.74). However, all personal hopane exposures in summer were more strongly associated with the length of major roadways within 500 m of their homes. In contrast, metrics of major roadways and LUR estimates were poorly correlated with any winter personal hopanes. Our findings suggest that available TRAP exposure indicators have the potential for exposure misclassification in winter vs. summer and more so for LUR than for metrics of major road density. As such, limitations are evident when using traditional proxy methods for assigning traffic exposures and these may be especially important when attempting to assign exposures for children’s key growth and developmental windows. If long-term chronic exposures are being estimated, our data suggest that measures of major road lengths in proximity to homes are a more-specific approach for assigning personal TRAP exposures.

description: Self-collection may provide an opportunity for innovation within population-based human papillomavirus (HPV) cervical cancer screening programs by providing an alternative form of engagement for all individuals. The primary objective was to determine willingness to self-collect a vaginal sample for primary HPV screening and factors that impact willingness in individuals who participated in the Human Papillomavirus For Cervical Cancer (HPV FOCAL) screening trial, a large randomized controlled cervical screening trial. A cross-sectional online survey was distributed between 2017 and 2018 to 13,176 eligible participants exiting the FOCAL trial. Bivariate and multivariable logistic regression assessed factors that influence willingness to self-collect on 4945 respondents. Overall, 52.1% of respondents indicated willingness to self-collect an HPV sample. In multivariable analysis, the odds of willingness to self-collect were significantly higher in participants who agreed that screening with an HPV test instead of a Pap test was acceptable to them (odds ratio (OR): 1.45 (95% confidence interval (CI): 1.15, 1.82), those who indicated that collecting their own HPV sample was acceptable to them (p < 0.001), and those with higher educational ascertainment (OR: 1.31, 95% CI: 1.12, 1.54). The findings offer insight into the intentions to self-collect in those already engaged in screening, and can inform cervical cancer screening programs interested in offering alternative approaches to HPV-based screening.
Are Anomaly Detection Models Suitable for Code Smell Detection? A Preliminary Study

description: Code Smells are symptoms of poor design and implementation choices. Researchers spent a great effort studying them for a long time, as they are known causes of complex code maintainability, change, and fault proneness. Many (semi) automatic approaches to detect and correct code smells have been proposed in recent years, both heuristic-based and machine learning-based. While the former present some issues (threshold dependent, lack of agreement, subjective interpretation) that are thought to be solved by the latter, ML-based approaches suffer from shallow performances, particularly a very high false-positive rate. Past studies explained this given the unbalanced nature of the problem: code smells are indeed a needle in the haystack of a software system. Hence, inspired by this assertion, in this paper we explore a different perspective on code smell detection, as if they were anomaly code components. Exploiting this idea, in this paper, we explore the possibility of using anomaly detection models to detect code smells in software systems. The achieved results showed models scoring a very high recall and a very low precision. To comprehend why anomaly detection outcomes are limited, this study investigates the role and significance given by the code metrics. As a result, we believe that the code metrics exploited to distinguish between smelly and non-smelly code components are insufficient.

description: In recent years, it is pointed out the importance to provide a place (ibasho) for supporting people with mental difficulties. The number of informal ibasho is increasing. These locations are not based on the public systems. The previous research does not uncover the framework and details for its support, thus this research focuses on them to understand the current situation and its possibility. The results present that the nature of ibasho differs depending on the purpose, and there are characteristics for each form. The participatory observation at Ibasho X make us discover that active engagement of people leads to self-identification through "speaking", especially for elderly hikikomori who have been delayed in support. These findings helps the practitioners and stakeholders for making a better plan and its effective strategies for improving the ibasho for people with mental difficulties.

description: Anthropogenic disturbances are increasingly threatening the health of wildlife populations globally. One such threat is chemical pollution. With the advent of the Anthropocene, negative impacts from pollution are escalating in all ecosystems. Indeed, the United Nations has recently declared pollution to be the third global catastrophe (along with climate change and biodiversity loss). However, the urgency of this threat has not always been widely appreciated in Australia.

This knowledge gap was addressed in this thesis by providing a contemporary account of exposure to pollutants in Australian waterbirds. This was achieved by opportunistically sampling birds from across the state of Victoria and focusing on three species: Pacific black ducks (Anas superciliosa), grey teal (Anas gracilis), and black swans (Cygnus atratus). I examined two contaminant types in these species: heavy metals (lead, copper, chromium, iron, manganese, mercury, and zinc) and persistent organic pollutants (POPs), and five tissue types: bone, feather, muscle, blood and adipose. The physiological impacts of these pollutants on birds were explored by characterising associations with metabolites in muscle and biochemistry parameters in blood. One key finding of this thesis is that exposure levels to critical contaminants are currently not as high in Australian ducks as in equivalent species inhabiting heavily industrialised areas of other continents. Additionally, there was little evidence that the quantified toxicants had obvious deleterious effects on the health of Victorian waterbirds.

This research project has provided new information relevant to waterbird ecotoxicology in an under-studied global region. It has also allowed me to develop several key skills in field biology, laboratory methods, statistical analysis, and science communication. The crucial recommendation for future research is to conduct further investigations on other environmental contaminants in other Australian ecosystems and taxa.

description: COPO streamlines the process of data deposition to public repositories by hiding much of the complexity of metadata capture and data management from the end-user. The ISA infrastructure (www.isa-tools.org) is leveraged to provide the interoperability between metadata formats required for seamless deposition to repositories and to facilitate links to data analysis platforms. Logical groupings of artefacts (e.g. PDFs, raw data, contextual supplementary information) relating to a body of work are stored in COPO collections and represented by common standards, which are publicly searchable. Bundles of multiple data objects themselves can then be deposited directly into public repositories through COPO interfaces.
