description: (1) Background: Segmented Cartesian Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) often fails to deliver robust assessment of cardiac function in patients with arrhythmia. We aimed to assess the performance of a tiny golden-angle spiral real-time CMR sequence at 1.5 T for left-ventricular (LV) volumetry in patients with irregular heart rhythm; (2) Methods: We validated the real-time sequence against the standard breath-hold segmented Cartesian sequence in 32 patients, of whom 11 presented with arrhythmia. End-diastolic volume (EDV), end-systolic volume (ESV), stroke volume (SV), and ejection fraction (EF) were assessed. In arrhythmic patients, real-time and standard Cartesian acquisitions were compared against a reference echocardiographic modality; (3) Results: In patients with sinus rhythm, good agreements and correlations were found between the segmented and real-time methods, with only minor, non-significant underestimation of EDV for the real-time sequence (135.95 ± 30 mL vs. 137.15 ± 31, p = 0.164). In patients with arrhythmia, spiral real-time CMR yielded superior image quality to the conventional segmented imaging, allowing for excellent agreement with the reference echocardiographic volumetry. In contrast, in this cohort, standard Cartesian CMR showed significant underestimation of LV-ESV (106.72 ± 63.51 mL vs. 125.47 ± 72.41 mL, p = 0.026) and overestimation of LVEF (42.96 ± 10.81% vs. 39.02 ± 11.72%, p = 0.039); (4) Conclusions: Real-time spiral CMR improves image quality in arrhythmic patients, allowing reliable assessment of LV volumetry.

description: Objectives Within the framework of the burden of disease (BoD) approach, disease and injury burden estimates attributable to risk factors are a useful guide for policy formulation and priority setting in disease prevention. Considering the important differences in methods, and their impact on burden estimates, we conducted a scoping literature review to: (1) map the BoD assessments including risk factors performed across Europe; and (2) identify the methodological choices in comparative risk assessment (CRA) and risk assessment methods. Methods We searched multiple literature databases, including grey literature websites and targeted public health agencies websites. Results A total of 113 studies were included in the synthesis and further divided into independent BoD assessments (54 studies) and studies linked to the Global Burden of Disease (59 papers). Our results showed that the methods used to perform CRA varied substantially across independent European BoD studies. While there were some methodological choices that were more common than others, we did not observe patterns in terms of country, year or risk factor. Each methodological choice can affect the comparability of estimates between and within countries and/or risk factors, since they might significantly influence the quantification of the attributable burden. From our analysis we observed that the use of CRA was less common for some types of risk factors and outcomes. These included environmental and occupational risk factors, which are more likely to use bottom-up approaches for health outcomes where disease envelopes may not be available. Conclusions Our review also highlighted misreporting, the lack of uncertainty analysis and the under-investigation of causal relationships in BoD studies. Development and use of guidelines for performing and reporting BoD studies will help understand differences, avoid misinterpretations thus improving comparability among estimates. © The Author(s) 2023.

description: Background: Indigenous peoples globally experience a disproportionate burden of mental illness due to forced policies and practices of colonization and cultural disruption. The objective of this study was to provide a baseline profile of hospitalization rates for mental health-related Ambulatory Care Sensitive Conditions among First-Nations living both on and off reserve in British Columbia, Canada, and explore the relationship between local access to health services and mental health-related hospitalization rates. Methods: A population-based time trend analysis of mental health-related Ambulatory Care Sensitive Conditions hospitalizations was conducted using de-identified administrative health data. The study population included all residents eligible under the universal British Columbia Medical Services Plan and living on and off First Nations reserves between 1994/95 and 2009/10. The definition of mental health-related Ambulatory Care Sensitive Conditions included mood disorders and schizophrenia, and three different change measures were used to operationalize avoidable hospitalizations: 1) rates of episodes of hospital care, 2) rates of length of stay, and 3) readmission rates. Data were analyzed using generalized estimating equations approach, controlling for age, sex, and socio-economic status, to account for change over time. Results: Our findings show that First Nations living on reserve have higher hospitalization rates for mental disorders compared to other British Columbia residents up until 2008. Those living off reserve had significantly higher hospitalization rates throughout the study period. On-reserve communities served by nursing stations had the lowest rates of hospitalization whereas communities with limited local services had the highest rates. Compared to other British Columbia residents, all First Nations have a shorter length of stay and lower readmission rates. Conclusions: This study suggests that despite reduced rates of hospitalization for mental-health related Ambulatory Care Sensitive Conditions over time for First Nations, gaps in mental health care still exist. We argue greater investments in primary mental health care are needed to support First Nations health. However, these efforts should place equal importance on prevention and the social determinants of health.

Creators: name: Chua, Jia Ni
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Clopidogrel plays a crucial role in preventing thrombotic events in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). CYP2C19 polymorphism involved in drug metabolism influence the antiplatelet efficacy of clopidogrel. Hence, this study aimed to determine the prevalence of CYP2C19 *2 (681G>A; rs4244285), *3 (636G>A; rs4986893) and *17 (-3402C>T; rs11188072 and -806C>T; rs12248560) alleles and their association with adenosine diphosphate – induced platelet aggregation (ADP-PA) in clopidogrel-treated multiethnic Malaysian patients (Chinese, Malay and non-Malay Bumiputras) before possible PCI. This study also aimed to assess the impact of CYP2C19 polymorphism with adverse clinical outcomes at one month and twelve months after hospital discharge in patients who had PCI. A total of 237 consecutive patients, who were electively admitted for possible PCI, were recruited from a Malaysian tertiary cardiology referral centre. These patients underwent either dual antiplatelet therapy, DAPT (clopidogrel plus aspirin) or aspirin monotherapy. CYP2C19 *2 (681G>A), *3 (636G>A) and *17 (-3402C>T) genotypes were determined by PCR-RFLP assay; while CYP2C19 *17 (-806C>T) genotype was detected by high resolution melt analysis. ADP-PA was assessed by Multiplate analyzer. Our study cohort had a mean age of 57.6 ± 11.1 years and 77.6% were male. The allelic frequencies of CYP2C19 *2, *3 and *17 variant alleles were 18.1%, 1.9%, and 0.4% for Chinese; 5.9%, 1.5% and 0.2% for Malay; 3.2%, 1.9% and 0.2% for native Iban; and 2.1%, 0.8% and 0.8% for other races respectively. The patients were categorized into three predicted metabolizers which were poor metabolizers (PMs), normal metabolizers (NMs) and ultrarapid metabolizers (UMs) according to the observed CYP2C19 genotypes. Majority of the PMs were Chinese followed by Malay, native Iban and other races. In this study, only 63.3% patients received DAPT. There was no significant difference in the post-treatment ADP-PA levels among the patients who received DAPT (p = 0.056). However, there was a significant difference in the post-treatment ADP-PA levels among the Chinese clopidogrel-treated patients (p = 0.031), but not among the other ethnic groups. From the 150 clopidogrel-treated patients, only 39.3% of the patients underwent PCI. Nevertheless, our study demonstrated that clinical outcomes were not significantly associated with clopidogrel antiplatelet therapy and CYP2C19 genotypes. In conclusion, CYP2C19 *2 carriers, but not CYP2C19 *3 and *17 carriers, were highly prevalent in Malaysians. Most of the CYP2C19 *2 variant allele carriers were Chinese patients. CYP2C19 polymorphism was not significantly associated with ADP-PA levels and clinical outcomes in those undergoing PCI in Malaysian population.

description: The principle objective of this study is to examine how penal codification was received and interpreted by the media. The media sources to be used are English newspapers and professional legal English Journals. With respect to the legal journals three journals were selected (two from Ontario, one from Quebec where they already experienced codification). The period examined is from each journal's founding date until 1900. Therefore, the examination of the Legal News was from 1886-1900, the Canada Law Journal was from 1855-1900, and the Canadian Law Times was from 1881-1900. It should be noted that the Canada Law Journal was the successor of the Upper Canada Law Journal beginning in 1868. The three newspapers examined for this study representing either the conservative, liberal or radical label were: The Montreal Gazette (conservative), The Toronto Globe (liberal) and The Toronto Mail (radical). The period examined was 1886-1893 for the two former newspapers and 1890, 1891 and 1892 for the latter newspaper. All articles relating to the criminal law, the criminal code and codification were analyzed for both sources of data. In examining what opinions were expressed this study attempted to establish whether the focus was on codification or specific topics of the code as well as whether the reactions to the code, if any, changed after its inception.

description: Liver surgery is still associated with a high rate of morbidity and mortality. We aimed to compare different haemodynamic treatments in liver surgery. In a prospective, blinded, randomised, controlled pilot trial patients undergoing liver resection were randomised to receive haemodynamic management guided by conventional haemodynamic parameters or by oesophageal Doppler monitor (ODM, CardioQ-ODM) or by pulse power wave analysis (PPA, LiDCOrapid) within a goal- directed algorithm adapted for liver surgery. The primary endpoint was stroke volume index before intra-operative start of liver resection. Secondary endpoints were the haemodynamic course during surgery and postoperative pain levels. Due to an unbalance in the extension of the surgical procedures with a high rate of only minor procedures the conventional group was dropped from the analysis. Eleven patients in the ODM group and 10 patients in the PPA group were eligible for statistical analysis. Stroke volume index before start of liver resection was 49 (37; 53) ml/m2 and 48 (41; 56) ml/m2 in the ODM and PPA group, respectively (p=0.397). The ODM guided group was haemodynamically stable as shown by ODM and PPA measurements. However, the PPA guided group showed a significant increase of pulse-pressure-variability (p=0.002) that was not accompanied by a decline of stroke volume index displayed by the PPA (p=0.556) but indicated by a decline of stroke volume index by the ODM (p<0.001). The PPA group had significantly higher postoperative pain levels than the ODM group (p=0.036). In conclusion, goal-directed optimization by ODM and PPA showed differences in intraoperative cardiovascular parameters indicating that haemodynamic optimization is not consistent between the two monitors.

description: Electrochemical energy storage systems become increasingly important due to the advent of large-scale renewable energy generation and electric mobility. Commercial lithium-ion batteries achieve an acceptable performance, but cannot fulfill the expectations of society. Metal-air batteries offer high theoretical energy densities and are a major candidate for next-generation energy storage. Theory-based models improve researchers’ understanding of complex electrochemical systems and guide development. Along this line, we validate our models with experiments and suggest battery design optimizations throughout this work. In this thesis, we discuss the development of consistent modeling methods and their implementation to advance metal-air and lithium-ion batteries. Non-equilibrium thermodynamics is the point of origin for deriving consistent equations for reaction and transport in electrochemical systems based on various electrolytes. Structural changes due to dissolution and crystallization reactions determine the behavior of metal-air batteries. With analogous modeling methodologies, we study the morphologic evolution of the solid electrolyte interphase in lithium-ion batteries. Our electrochemical continuum theories describe mesoscopic processes at the interfaces of battery electrodes as well as macroscopic processes governing battery cell performance.

description: The Multiband Imaging Photometer for Spitzer (MIPS) provides long wavelength capability for the mission, in imaging bands at 24, 70, and 160 microns and measurements of spectral energy distributions between 52 and 100 microns at a spectral resolution of about 7%. By using true detector arrays in each band, it provides both critical sampling of the Spitzer point spread function and relatively large imaging fields of view, allowing for substantial advances in sensitivity, angular resolution, and efficiency of areal coverage compared with previous space far-infrared capabilities. The Si:As BIB 24 micron array has excellent photometric properties, and measurements with rms relative errors of 1% or better can be obtained. The two longer wavelength arrays use Ge:Ga detectors with poor photometric stability. However, the use of 1.) a scan mirror to modulate the signals rapidly on these arrays, 2.) a system of on-board stimulators used for a relative calibration approximately every two minutes, and 3.) specialized reduction software result in good photometry with these arrays also, with rms relative errors of less than 10%.

Analysis of thermomagnetic convection in a vertical layer of magnetic fluid with arbitrary orientation of magnetic field
Creators: name: Rahman, Md Habibur
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Dr Md Habibur Rahman's research deals with the analysis of flows of fluids that contain ferro-nano-particles and thus can be controlled by the application of an external magnetic field. In particular, he studied convection flows of non-isothermal synthetic ferrofluids that are used in modern cooling systems. Linear stability of pure magnetic and magneto-gravitational convection in a layer of ferrofluid placed in a uniform oblique external magnetic has been investigated. It has been found that the arising thermomagnetic convection is caused by the spatial variation of magnetization occurring due to its dependence on the temperature. The investigation has also revealed that the stability characteristics of magneto-convection in ferrofluids depend not only on the inclination of the applied magnetic field, but also on its magnitude. Such characteristics have been shown to be qualitatively different from those of similar flows of natural paramagnetic fluids that have a much weaker magnetisation.

description: Background: Oligometastases refer to a state of disease where cancer has spread beyond the primary site, but is not yet widely metastatic, often defined as 1–3 or 1–5 metastases in number. Stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) is an emerging radiotherapy technique to treat oligometastases that require further prospective population-based toxicity estimates. Methods: This is a non-randomized phase II trial where all participants will receive experimental SABR treatment to all sites of newly diagnosed or progressing oligometastatic disease. We will accrue 200 patients to assess toxicity associated with this experimental treatment. The study was powered to give a 95% confidence on the risk of late grade 4 toxicity, anticipating a < 5% rate of grade 4 toxicity. Discussion: SABR treatment of oligometastases is occurring off-trial at a high rate, without sufficient evidence of its efficacy or toxicity. This trial will provide necessary toxicity data in a population-based cohort, using standardized doses and organ at risk constraints, while we await data on efficacy from randomized phase III trials. Trial Registration Registered through clinicaltrials.gov NCT02933242 on October 14, 2016 prospectively before patient accrual.

Subjects: subject: Education, Administration.

description: School climate is a complex and multidimensional construct that is an essential part of the school experience. Currently, there is no clear consensus on its definition or what specific dimensions it encompasses. The purpose of this study was to examine various ways that school climate has been defined in empirical studies and to establish consensus on the factors essential to the construct. To this end, we conducted a synthesis and analysis of school climate research followed by a Delphi poll in order to reach consensus among participating experts. Results indicated that school climate should be considered based on three interrelated dimensions: individual, interpersonal, and organizational, as well as various sub-dimensional components. Participants prioritized: (1) factors related to students and teachers, including their relationships; and (2) factors related to the school's philosophy, such as policies and disciplinary climate. Findings of the study may be used to develop a comprehensive school climate scale for assessing school improvement programs and initiatives.

description: Control of vehicle speed is a central tenet of the safe systems approach to road safety. Most research shows that raising speed limits results in more injuries. Advocates of higher speed limits argue that this conclusion is based on older research, that traffic fatalities are decreasing despite higher speed limits, and that modern vehicles are able to safely travel at higher speeds. These arguments were used to justify raising speed limits on rural highways in British Columbia, Canada (July 2014). We used an interrupted time series approach to evaluate the impact of these speed limit increases on fatal crashes, auto-insurance claims, and ambulance dispatches for road trauma. Events were mapped to affected road segments (with increased speed limits) and to nearby road segments (within 5 km of an affected segment). Separate linear regression models were fitted for each outcome and road segment group. Models included gasoline sales to account for changes in vehicle travel. Our main findings were significant increases in (i) total insurance claims (43.0%; 95% Confidence Interval [CI] = 16.0–76.4%), (ii) injury claims (30.0%; 95% CI = 9.5–54.2%), and (iii) fatal crashes (118.0; 95% CI = 10.9–225.1%) on affected road segments. Nearby segments had a 25.7% increase in insurance claims (95% CI = 16.1–36.1%).

description: Animal studies have shown that there is a dose-response impact of glucose on memory but very few studies in humans have used several doses of glucose adjusted to body weight to determine whether there is more than one optimal dose. This study explored further the effect of ingested glucose on cognition in older adults by examining the impact of three doses of glucose (300 mg/kg, 650 mg/kg and 1 g/kg) on performance on neuropsychological tasks, including cognitive measures involving a concomitant or interference task. Another goal of this study was to investigate whether glucoregulation will mediate the impact of glucose on cognitive performance and if age will interact with this effect. A total of 103 older adults (mean age = 68.22) were tested twice, once after glucose ingestion and once after saccharin. Participants were categorized as younger (60-67) and older (68-85) and as better or worse glucoregulators. A doubly-multivariate analysis was conducted on 19 cognitive measures and only showed an overall significant effect of age. Some results suggest a small but not significant overall general decrease in performance on many tasks in people with worse glucoregulation. A number of methodological issues such as age and the generally high level of functioning of the participants may have reduced the ability of the present study to observe cognitive deficits or improvements.

description: RTMI ´13 is the fifth incarnation of the annual seminar Research Trends in Media Informatics hosted by the Institute of Media Informatics at Ulm University. The RTMI seminar series aims to motivate students to delve deeper into the vast and diverse research in the area of media informatics, human computer interaction, and ubiquitous computing. The authors presented their papers at the RTMI conference in March 2013, which was held in the Hall of Knights at the Villa Eberhardt in Ulm. This year´s program focuses around four themes, which underline that media informatics research covers far more than graphical user interfaces. The papers in the "Beyond the Desktop" session discuss novel interaction methods and research trends that dispense with the desktop metaphor and click-based interfaces. The "Technology and Society" session considers implications of technology on society and opportunities that arise from available technology. The two papers in the session "The User´s Mind" discuss how the human brain can be used for direct interaction, as well as how computing systems can be designed to positively influence the behavior of users. The "Physical Interaction" session focuses on applications for tabletop interaction and the opportunities and limitations of 3D printing.

description: (1) Background: Self-determination is one of the central values of many societies. Self-determination concerns many areas of life, including sexuality. Unfortunately, the sexuality of individuals with intellectual disabilities (IID) is often discriminated against, and even in their everyday care, sexuality is often given too little space, not least because of knowledge deficits of parents and staff. A practicable conceptualization of sexual self-determination is a prerequisite for helping IID to achieve self-determined sexuality. The aim of this paper is to formulate such an applicable conceptualization and to discuss related challenges. (2) Method: This paper uses Harry Frankfurt’s hierarchical conception of desires and the WHO definition of sexuality to develop a suitable understanding of sexual self-determination. (3) Results: The mentioned concepts offer promising tools to develop a conceptualization of sexual self-determination with high practical applicability. (4) Discussion: Sexual self-determination involves decision-making processes in relation to the different dimensions of sexuality. IID do need support to come to these decisions. Challenges that might be involved with such decision processes will be discussed.
Minimising attainment deficit: a leadership process theory

description: Leadership as a process was found by RTA workers to fulfill their need for attaining their potential in their jobs. This article presents an overview of this substantive theory which emerged during a Grounded Theory study. Minimising Attainment Deficit, the process, comprises a number of Leader Strategies which aim to modify workplace conditions and so alter workers' behaviours. The fundamental premise of this theory is the workers' perceptions of their own potential and their perception of what they are currently achieving, and that any shortfall in achievement results in an Attainment Deficit. Minimising Attainment Deficit Unleashes workers to achieve higher productivity whereas failing to minimise Attainment Deficit Limits workers and results in low productivity.

description: We present a new, accurate measurement of the H I mass function of galaxies from the HIPASS Bright Galaxy Catalog, a sample of 1000 galaxies with the highest H I peak flux densities in the southern (δ < 0°) hemisphere. This sample spans nearly 4 orders of magnitude in H I mass [log (MH I/ M⊙) + 2 log h75 = 6.8-10.6] and is the largest sample of H I-selected galaxies to date. We develop a bivariate maximum likelihood technique to measure the space density of galaxies and show that this is a robust method, insensitive to the effects of large-scale structure. The resulting H I mass function can be fitted satisfactorily with a Schechter function with faint-end slope α = -1.30. This slope is found to be dependent on morphological type, with late-type galaxies giving steeper slopes. We extensively test various effects that potentially bias the determination of the H I mass function, including peculiar motions of galaxies, large-scale structure, selection bias, and inclination effects, and we quantify these biases. The large sample of galaxies enables an accurate measurement of the cosmological mass density of neutral gas: ΩH I = (3.8 ± 0.6) × 10-4 h75-1. Low surface brightness galaxies contribute only ∼ 15% to this value, consistent with previous findings.

description: Background Malaria incidence has declined considerably over the last decade. This is partly due to a scale-up of control measures but is also attributed to increasing urbanization. This study aimed to analyse the association between malaria and urbanization and the effect of urbanicity on the acquisition of semi-immunity. Methods In 2012, children with fever presenting to St Michael’s Hospital Pramso/Ghana were recruited. The malaria-positive-fraction (MPF) of fever cases was calculated on community-level to approximate the malaria risk. The mean age of malaria cases was calculated for each community to estimate the acquisition of semi-immunity. The level of urbanicity for the communities was calculated and associations between MPF, urbanicity and immunity were modelled using linear regression. Results Twenty-six villages were included into the study with a mean MPF of 35 %. A linear decrease of 5 % (95 % CI: 4–6 %) in MPF with every ten-point increase in urbanicity was identified. The mean age of malaria patients increased by 2.9 months (95 % CI: 1.0–4.8) with every ten-point increase in urbanicity. Discussion The results confirm an association between an increase in urbanicity and declining malaria risk and demonstrate that the acquisition of semi-immunity is heterogeneous on a micro- epidemiological scale and is associated with urbanicity.

description: Kraftfahrzeuge, Flugzeuge, Schiffe, Maschinen, Fassaden und Innenräume von Häusern, Möbel, Haushaltsgeräte, Zeitschriften, Poster und Datenträger: Die Liste der Produkte, die mit Lacken und Anstrichen beschichtet sind, lässt sich beliebig fortsetzen. In Deutschland wurden 2012 etwa 2,6 Millionen Tonnen Lacke, Anstriche sowie Druckfarben produziert (VdL 2013). Die Beschichtungen durch Lacke und Anstriche dienen sowohl dem Schutz vor mechanischen, chemischen und witterungsbedingten Belastungen als auch der ästhetischen Veredelung von Oberflächen. Um den steigenden Anforderungen an moderne Beschichtungen zu begegnen, ist die Lackindustrie bestrebt ihre Produkte immer weiter zu verbessern. So hat die Nanotechnik in den vergangenen Jahren zunehmend Bedeutung bei der Entwicklung von Beschichtungen gewonnen.

description: Aim 20-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (20-HETE) and epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) are cytochrome P450 (CYP)-dependent eicosanoids that play opposite roles in the regulation of vascular tone, inflammation, and apoptosis. 20-HETE aggravates, whereas EETs ameliorate ischemia/reperfusion (I/R)-induced organ damage. EETs are rapidly metabolized to dihydroxyeicosatrienoic acids (DHETs) by the soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH). We hypothesized that sEH gene (EPHX2) deletion would increase endogenous EET levels and thereby protect against I/R-induced acute kidney injury (AKI). Methods Kidney damage was evaluated in male wildtype (WT) and sEH-knockout (KO)-mice that underwent 22-min renal ischemia followed by two days of reperfusion. CYP-eicosanoids were analyzed by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. Results Contrary to our initial hypothesis, renal function declined more severely in sEH-KO mice as indicated by higher serum creatinine and urea levels. The sEH-KO-mice also featured stronger tubular lesion scores, tubular apoptosis, and inflammatory cell infiltration. Plasma and renal EET/DHET-ratios were higher in sEH-KO than WT mice, thus confirming the expected metabolic consequences of sEH deficiency. However, CYP-eicosanoid profiling also revealed that renal, but not plasma and hepatic, 20-HETE levels were significantly increased in sEH-KO compared to WT mice. In line with this finding, renal expression of Cyp4a12a, the murine 20-HETE-generating CYP-enzyme, was up-regulated both at the mRNA and protein level, and Cyp4a12a immunostaining was more intense in the renal arterioles of sEH-KO compared with WT mice. Conclusion These results indicate that the potential beneficial effects of reducing EET degradation were obliterated by a thus far unknown mechanism leading to kidney-specific up- regulation of 20-HETE formation in sEH-KO-mice.
