Eco-civilisation and Reformed Communism in a Contested G-One World
Creators: name: Smyer Yü, Dan
Publisher: name: International Quarterly for Asian Studies
Year: 2022

description: This article offers an ideological examination of China’s ecological civilisation initiative with respect to its globalisation agenda. The basic argument is that the Chinese state’s eco-civilisation project is an open-ended, statist technocratic bricolage that appropriates a philosophy of human­–nature harmony and facilitates a reformed communism intended to enchant both domestic and global audiences with a set of human universal values. The article considers eco-civilisation to be technically devised as an attractive initiative packed with the Chinese state’s propagated universal values without a specific manual of operations. It is a one-size-fits-all concept but provides enough room for creative tailoring under specific circumstances in different geographical, cultural, economic and political contexts. In the course of delivering this argument, the article discusses how eco-civilisation is domestically and internationally promoted and how it is an inherent part of the renewed but reformed communism of the Chinese state.

The Geotechnical Imaginary of the Belt and Road: Mobilising Imaginative Labour
Creators: name: Chubb, Andrew
Publisher: name: International Quarterly for Asian Studies
Year: 2022

description: What is the Belt and Road? Academics, pundits and policymakers have offered divergent answers ranging from a grand geostrategic gambit to an incoherent frenzy of sub-state commercial opportunism, from an inward-looking hinterland development strategy to the building of a global “community of common destiny for mankind”, and from an overflow of industry to a vacuous propaganda slogan. While there is evidence to support each of these arguments, this long and growing list lacks an integrative framework that could shed light on the relationships among the individual phenomena. This article offers a step in this direction, drawing from science and technology studies. It contends that these disparate perspectives on the BRI can be integrated into an understanding of the BRI as a geotechnical imaginary – a collectively imagined form of global life and order reflected in the design and performance of specific technological projects. This perspective foregrounds how China’s party-state’s capacious BRI slogan has mobilised imaginings – both affirmatory and oppositional – on a global scale. These shared imaginings, with divergent normative implications, suggest a broadening of the existing concept of sociotechnical imaginaries.

description: Background:Obesity is an independent risk factor for morbidity and mortality from pandemic influenza H1N1. Influenza is a significant public health threat, killing an estimated 250 000–500 000 people worldwide each year. More than one in ten of the world's adult population is obese and more than two-thirds of the US adult population is overweight or obese. No studies have compared humoral or cellular immune responses to influenza vaccination in healthy weight, overweight and obese populations despite clear public health importance.Objective:The study employed a convenience sample to determine the antibody response to the 2009–2010 inactivated trivalent influenza vaccine (TIV) in healthy weight, overweight and obese participants at 1 and 12 months post vaccination. In addition, activation of CD8+ T cells and expression of interferon-γ and granzyme B were measured in influenza-stimulated peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) cultures.Results:Body mass index (BMI) correlated positively with higher initial fold increase in IgG antibodies detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay to TIV, confirmed by HAI antibody in a subset study. However, 12 months post vaccination, higher BMI was associated with a greater decline in influenza antibody titers. PBMCs challenged ex vivo with vaccine strain virus, demonstrated that obese individuals had decreased CD8+ T-cell activation and decreased expression of functional proteins compared with healthy weight individuals.Conclusion:These results suggest obesity may impair the ability to mount a protective immune response to influenza virus.

Terraforming “Beautiful China”: Island Building and Lunar Exploration in the Making of the Chinese State
Creators: name: Bashford, Laurence

Publisher: name: International Quarterly for Asian Studies
Year: 2022

description: Chinese terraforming projects in the South China Sea have been condemned as geopolitically and ecologically destabilising. Following years of escalating construction and tourism initiatives, China pivoted in January 2019 by announcing ecosystem restoration efforts on several terraformed islands. Days later, the Chinese National Space Agency made the first soft landing on the far side of the moon, carrying with it a micro-ecosystem of living seeds and insect eggs. The micro-ecosystem sprouted the first plant on the moon, whose brief lifespan was met with rapt attention by the Chinese public as it disseminated across the national mediascape. This article contends that terraforming efforts in the South China Sea and the Chang’e 4 lunar biosphere project are related material-symbolic instantiations of a uniquely Chinese sociotechnical imaginary. Prevailing interpretations of Chinese island-building, outer space ventures and ecological civilisation tend to construe Beijing’s intentions as primarily antagonistic. These accounts are useful yet insufficient for comprehending China’s terraforming projects on Earth and beyond. The authors instead refigure terraformation as an imaginative, material and bio-geophysical process enacted in the globalising pursuit of new Chinese horizons.

Diagnosis: This is a smallish (TL=5-5.8), light coloured species; carapace pale orange, abdomen dorsaily mouse-grey with a small, triangular dark coloured apical scutum covered with long, curved and thickened hairs, venter creamy white. Male palp with enlarged embolar base bearing a long, whip-like embolus running along the retrolateral edge of large, flat conductor. Female epigynum with a wide median ridge covering two long, parallel median ducts with laterally directed anterior ends. Description: The species has been well described by Platnick (1981: Odontodrassus javanus ) and Deeleman-Reinhold (2001). Distribution: The species seems to be widely distributed in the tropics, probably partly due to human introductions (Platnick 1981, Deeleman-Reinhold 2001). This is the first record of the species from Seychelles and so far found only from Bird.

description: Electromagnetic radiation from human activities, known as man-made Radio Frequency Interference (RFI), adversely affects radio astronomy observations. In the vicinity of the Upgraded Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (uGMRT) array, the sparking on power lines is the major cause of interference at observing frequencies less than 800 MHz. A real-time broadband RFI detection and filtering system is implemented as part of the uGMRT wideband signal processing backend to mitigate the effect of broadband RFI. Performance analysis techniques used for testing and commissioning the system for observations in the beamformer and correlator modes of the uGMRT are presented. The concept and implementation of recording simultaneous unfiltered and filtered data along with data analysis and interpretation is illustrated using an example. For the beamformer mode, spectrogram, single spectral channel, and its Fourier transform is used for performance analysis whereas, in the correlator mode, the cross-correlation function, closure phase, and visibilities from the simultaneously recorded unfiltered and filtered is carried out. These techniques are used for testing the performance of the broadband RFI filter and releasing it for uGMRT users.

description: ObjectiveTo evaluate the influence of breastfeeding on the body mass index (BMI) growth trajectory from birth through 13 years of age among offspring of diabetic pregnancies (ODP) and offspring of non-diabetic pregnancies (ONDP) participating in the EPOCH study.SubjectsThere were 94 ODP and 399 ONDP who had multiple BMI measures obtained from birth throughout childhood. A measure of breast milk-months was derived from maternal self-report to categorize breastfeeding status as adequate (≥6 breast milk-months) or low (<6 breast milk-months). Mixed linear effects models were constructed to assess the impact of breastfeeding on the BMI growth curves during infancy (birth to 27 months) and childhood (27 months to 13 years).ResultsODP who were adequately breastfed had a slower BMI growth trajectory during childhood (p=0.047) and slower period-specific growth velocity with significant differences between 4 to 6 years of age (p=0.03) and 6 to 9 years of age (p=0.01) compared to ODP with low breastfeeding. A similar pattern was seen in the ONDP, with adequate breastfeeding associated with lower average BMI in infancy (p=0.03) and childhood (p=0.0002) and a slower growth trajectory in childhood (p=0.0002). Slower period-specific growth velocity was seen among the ONDP associated with adequate breastfeeding with significant differences between 12–26 months (p=0.02), 4–6 years (p=0.03), 6–9 years (p=0.0001) and 9–13 years of age (p<.0001).ConclusionOur study provides novel evidence that breastfeeding is associated with long-term effects on childhood BMI growth that extend beyond infancy into early and late childhood. Importantly, these effects are also present in the high-risk offspring, exposed to overnutrition during pregnancy. Breastfeeding in the early postnatal period may represent a critical opportunity to reduce the risk of childhood obesity.

description: Poisson surface reconstruction (PSR) remains a popular technique for reconstructing watertight surfaces from 3D point samples thanks to its efficiency, simplicity, and robustness. Yet, the existing PSR method and subsequent variants work only for oriented points. This paper intends to validate that an improved PSR, called iPSR, can completely eliminate the requirement of point normals and proceed in an iterative manner. In each iteration, iPSR takes as input point samples with normals directly computed from the surface obtained in the preceding iteration, and then generates a new surface with better quality. Extensive quantitative evaluation confirms that the new iPSR algorithm converges in 5-30 iterations even with randomly initialized normals. If initialized with a simple visibility based heuristic, iPSR can further reduce the number of iterations. We conduct comprehensive comparisons with PSR and other powerful implicit-function based methods. Finally, we confirm iPSR's effectiveness and scalability on the AIM@SHAPE dataset and challenging (indoor and outdoor) scenes. Code and data for this paper are at https://github.com/houfei0801/ipsr.
title: Education and Ethnic Minorities: The Political, Institutional and Professional Responses in the United Kingdom
Creators: name: Savvides, Savvas
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London
Year: 1987

description: The thesis starts with an account of the post-war changes in the ethnic composition of the British population including an estimation of the racial and ethnic mix of the school classroom. Basic terms such as "race", ethnicity and culture are defined and the concepts of a multi-racial, multi-ethnic and multi-cultural society are considered. The ideologies of assimilation, integration and cultural pluralism, and their relevance to the British educational system, are examined. A specific analysis of the political and institutional responses to the educational "needs" of ethnic minority children is conducted against the background of a dominant ideology of "assimilation" in the nineteen sixties and early seventies. These responses are further discussed for the period from the late nineteen seventies to the mid nineteen eighties, an era characterised by a shift of emphasis from assimilation towards ethnic diversity and cultural pluralism. The implications of these changes for the education of children from ethnic minority groups are considered. The second part of the thesis is concerned with the issue of academic achievement and assesses theories connected with the debate over "heredity versus environment" and their consequences for "racial" differences and measured intelligence. The significance of a variety of other factors such as language, identity and teachers' expectations is also discussed. Different conceptions of multi-cultural education are considered with an analysis of the factors related to the origins and initiation of such policies in British schools. The major criticisms of multi-cultural education are stated and their implications for the implementation of multi-ethnic educational policies are examined. The final section of the thesis describes the development of multi-cultural education in an Inner London school during the period 1978-86. With the use of both participant observation and survey analysis the response of teachers to multi-cultural education initiatives is presented. The finding of the survey on teachers' attitudes are analysed in connection with the definitions, objectives and the implementation of multi-cultural education.

description: Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) represents the largest component of total energy expenditure and is a major contributor to energy balance. Therefore, accurately estimating BMR is critical for developing rigorous obesity prevention and control strategies. Over the past several decades, numerous BMR formulas have been developed targeted to different population groups. A comprehensive literature search revealed 248 BMR estimation equations developed using diverse ranges of age, gender, race, fat free mass, fat mass, height, waist-to-hip ratio, body mass index, and weight. A subset of 47 studies included enough detail to allow for development of meta-regression equations. Utilizing these studies, meta-equations were developed targeted to twenty specific population groups. This review provides a comprehensive summary of available BMR equations and an estimate of their accuracy. An accompanying online BMR prediction tool (available at http://www.sdl.ise.vt.edu/tutorials.html) was developed to automatically estimate BMR based on the most appropriate equation after user-entry of individual age, race, gender, and weight.

description: Innovators are creative people who can conjure the ground-breaking ideas that represent the main engine of innovative organizations. Past research has extensively investigated who innovators are and how they behave in work-related activities. In this paper, we suggest that it is necessary to analyze how innovators behave in other contexts, such as in informal communication spaces, where knowledge is shared without formal structure, rules, and work obligations. Drawing on communication and network theory, we analyze about 38,000 posts available in the intranet forum of a large multinational company. From this, we explain how innovators differ from other employees in terms of social network behavior and language characteristics. Through text mining, we find that innovators write more, use a more complex language, introduce new concepts/ideas, and use positive but factual-based language. Understanding how innovators behave and communicate can support the decision-making processes of managers who want to foster innovation.

description: BackgroundObesity prevalence stabilized in the U.S. in the first decade of the 2000s. However, obesity prevalence may resume increasing if younger generations are more sensitive to the obesogenic environment than older generations.MethodsWe estimated cohort effects for obesity prevalence among young adults born in the 1980s. Using data collected from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey between 1971 and 2008, we calculated obesity for respondents aged between 2 and 74 years. We used the median polish approach to estimate smoothed age and period trends; residual non-linear deviations from age and period trends were regressed on cohort indicator variables to estimate birth cohort effects.ResultsAfter taking into account age effects and ubiquitous secular changes, cohorts born in the 1980s had increased propensity to obesity versus those born in the late 1960s. The cohort effects were 1.18 [95% CI: 1.01, 1.07] and 1.21 [95% CI: 1.02, 1.09] for the 1979–1983 and 1984–1988 birth cohorts, respectively. The effects were especially pronounced in Black males and females but appeared absent in White males.ConclusionsOur results indicate a generational divergence of obesity prevalence. Even if age-specific obesity prevalence stabilizes in those born before the 1980s, age-specific prevalence may continue to rise in the 1980s cohorts, culminating in record high obesity prevalence as this generation enters its ages of peak obesity prevalence.

description: The scope and scale of the Research Infrastructure envisaged in this proposal mean that it is necessary to establish an Enterprise-Wide Risk Management Framework (ERM) to design, implement, monitor and improve risk management consistently and efficiently across all aspects of the RI’s activities using quantitative and qualitative measures in a way which is compatible with existing Risk Management arrangements within partner institutions. This Framework has been created by reference to the Best Practice contained in: ISO31000:2009 as updated in ISO31000:2018 (Risk Management – Principles and Guidelines) ISO IEC 31010:2009 - Risk management - Risk assessment techniques ISO/TR31004:2013 - Risk management — Guidance for the implementation of ISO 31000 The Management of Risk (M_o_R) – produced by Axelos as part of the Prince2 suite of methodologies ISBN 9780113312740
 which has been customised to reflect the specific structures and areas of activity of the Research Infrastructure. The Framework is designed to be compatible with and capable of integration with existing Risk Management procedures and regulations already in place within partner organisations. It takes account of national Health & Safety Regulations as well as the EU General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 and any local considerations arising from local Freedom of Information legislation. The Framework addresses practical Risk Management from the perspectives of the different levels of the hierarchical Research Infrastructure (International, National and Individual) as well as from the perspectives of risks inherent within specific artefacts and defined preservation procedures. The overall objective is to create a consistent approach to risk management which enables all participants to share and learn from others’ experience. The Framework also considers Opportunity Management as a positive aspect of Risk Management. The hierarchical design of the Framework has been tested with other partners via a dedicated workshop during Year 2 and is based on the author’s wide experience in Risk Management Frameworks. The Framework will now be developed into a full Corporate Risk Management Function (D2.5) as part of the creation of the overall Corporate Governance Function within WP2.

description: Low-density lipoprotein-related receptor protein 1 (LRP1) is a multi-functional endocytic receptor and signaling molecule that is expressed in adipose and the hypothalamus. Evidence for a role of LRP1 in adiposity is accumulating from animal and in vitro models, but data from human studies are limited. The study objectives were to evaluate (i) relationships between LRP1 genotype and anthropometric traits, and (ii) whether these relationships were modified by dietary fatty acids.

description: The complete assessment, the impact and cost/benefit ratio of the activities of E-RIHS, depends on the knowledge of the overall size of the resources made available by the E-RIHS Members through the appointed national nodes as well as on the value of the resource specifically committed to the activities of E-RIHS. In a broad sense, in-kind contributions represent the capital of European Research Infrastructure Consortia, whose Members, in the proper sense, are the Governments of the involved States. The goal of E-RIHS, the European Research Infrastructure for Heritage Science, is to grow and strengthen a creative, European-wide framework for supporting frontier research in heritage science. It will do so by offering access to expertise, data and technologies through a standardized approach based on different modes of services organized in four platforms: • ARCHLAB (access to heritage archives and collections);
 • DIGILAB (remote access to data and tools for heritage research);
 • FIXLAB (access to large-scale facilities and advanced laboratories;
 • MOLAB (collections of mobile instruments enabling in-situ diagnostics). The scope of D3.4 is represented by the identification of the main foreseeable types of in-kind contributions as well as by the definition of a methodology for the accounting of in-kind resources, taking into-account the specific needs of E-RIHS. According to the working plan defined in the Grant Agreement, at M24 a preliminary report has been delivered. This document represents the starting point of the present document, and it is in line with the following project WPs: Task 2.1 Governance structure of E-RIHS Task 3.1 Finance and budget Task 4.2 Statutes; task 4.3 Internal rules and procedures Task 6.1 Integrating E-RIHS in European funding instruments and joint programming initiatives Task 8.3 Catalogue of E-RIHS resources and services All the activities described in the present document have been also performed on the basis of the following timetable: Definition of the working plan (2nd semester 2017) and its presentation during the project meetings. Submission of a questionnaire to the E-RIHS partner. (1st semester 2018)

description: BackgroundFatty liver disease (FLD) is characterized by increased intrahepatic triglyceride content with or without inflammation and is associated with obesity, and features of the metabolic syndrome. Several recent GWAS have reported an association between SNP rs738409 in the PNPLA3 gene and FLD. Liver attenuation (Hounsfield Units, HU) by computed tomography is a non-invasive measure of liver fat, with lower values of HU indicating higher liver fat content. Clinically, a liver attenuation (LA) value of ≤ 40 HU indicates moderate-to-severe hepatic steatosis.ObjectiveWe investigated whether missense rs738409 PNPLA3 interacted with abdominal visceral adipose tissue volume (cm3) to reduce liver attenuation (i.e. increased liver fat) in 1,019 European American men and 1,238 European American women from the Family Heart Study.MethodsWe used linear regression to test the additive effect of genotype, abdominal visceral adipose tissue (VAT), and their multiplicative interaction on LA adjusted for age, BMI, HDL-cholesterol, insulin resistance, serum triglycerides, abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue, and alcohol intake.ResultsIn men and women combined, the interaction between each copy of the rs738409 variant allele (MAF 0.23) and 100cm3/150mm slice VAT decreased LA by 2.68±0.35 HU (p < 0.01). The interaction of 100cm3 VAT and the variant allele was associated with a greater decrease in LA in women than men (−4.8±0.6 and −2.2±0.5 HU, respectively).ConclusionsThe interaction between genotype and VAT volume suggest key differences in the role of PNPLA3 genotype in conjunction with abdominal VAT in liver fat accrual. The stronger association of the PNPLA3 genotype and liver fat in women suggests that women may be more sensitive to liver fat accumulation in the setting of increased visceral fat, compared to men. The presence of the PNPLA3 variant genotype, particularly in the context of high visceral adipose tissue content may play an important role in FLD.

description: This paper presents results from the SESAR ER3 Domino project. Three mechanisms are assessed at the ECAC-wide level: 4D trajectory adjustments (a combination of actively waiting for connecting passengers and dynamic cost indexing), flight prioritisation (enabling ATFM slot swapping at arrival regulations), and flight arrival coordination (where flights are sequenced in extended arrival managers based on an advanced cost-driven optimisation). Classical and new metrics, designed to capture network effects, are used to analyse the results of a micro-level agent-based model. A scenario with congestion at three hubs is used to assess the 4D trajectory adjustment and the flight prioritisation mechanisms. Two different scopes for the extended arrival manager are modelled to analyse the impact of the flight arrival coordination mechanism. Results show that the 4D trajectory adjustments mechanism succeeds in reducing costs and delays for connecting passengers. A trade-off between the interests of the airlines in reducing costs and those of non-connecting passengers emerges, although passengers benefit overall from the mechanism. Flight prioritisation is found to have no significant effects at the network level, as it is applied to a small number of flights. Advanced flight arrival coordination, as implemented, increases delays and costs in the system. The arrival manager optimises the arrival sequence of all flights within its scope but does not consider flight uncertainties, thus leading to sub-optimal actions.

Transition Phase

description: The Legal Work Package No.4 (WP4) has prepared the Memorandum of Understanding, a non- legally binding agreement between the countries who intend to coordinate their activities and work together towards the construction and operation of E-RIHS ERIC. With the MoU, the signatories materialize the intent to work together during the Transition Phase and define a clear line of action from now on without, necessarily, forming legally binding constraints. WP4 wanted to present a very lean and simple document; presenting only basic features of this kind of agreements. A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) sets an official framework during the Transition Phase. The signatories of the MoU (national representatives or authorized delegates of the ministries or funding agencies) will undertake the responsibility to support the activities of E-RIHS until the decision by the Commission to set up E-RIHS-ERIC takes effect. The proposal of MoU has been discussed amongst partners of E-RIHS-PP and the Stakeholders Advisory Board (SAB) (February and September 2018). This deliverable D.4.1 presents the revised version of MoU.

description: This report reviews the issues concerning data curation for heritage science. It provides a policy framework to be implemented by E-RIHS, but the report is designed to be of use to all those with interests in data within the heritage science domain. E-RIHS provides an opportunity to ensure the long term preservation and increased re-use of heritage science data within broader European frameworks. The report follows the structure of the FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Re-usable) but interprets them in the context of heritage science. Examples are given with reference to a substantial appendix which covers a broad range of heritage science data types. It is recommended that E-RIHS researchers should be required to complete a Data Management Plan as a condition of support for their usage of an E-RIHS facility, and this, along with the information contained in this report, will assist E-RIHS researchers, facilities and repositories to follow our thirty-three recommendations.

description: ObjectiveFour body mass index (BMI) metrics—BMI, BMI z-score, BMI percentile, and BMI%—are commonly used as proxy measures for children's adiposity. We sought to determine a BMI metric that is most strongly associated with measured percentage of body fat (%BF) in the US pediatric population stratified by sex, age and race/ethnicity, and to determine cutoffs that maximize the association for each BMI metric.Subjects, Design and Methods%BF was measured by DXA among N=6120 US boys and girls aged 8.0 to 17.9 years old from NHANES 1999-2004. We fit piece-wise linear regression models with cutoffs to %BF data using each BMI metric as the predictor stratified by sex, race/ethnicity and age. The slopes were modeled differently before and after the cutoffs which were determined based on grid searches.ResultsBMI z-score was in general most strongly associated with %BF for both boys and girls. The associations of the four BMI metrics were lowest for boys aged 12-13.9 years and girls aged 16-17.9 years, and strongest for Mexican-American boys and for non-Hispanic black girls. Overall, the associations were stronger for girls than for boys. In boys, BMI had the lowest association with %BF (R2=0.39) for all ages combined. The fold changes in slopes before and after cutoffs were greatest in general for BMI percentiles regardless of age, sex and race/ethnicity. BMI z-score cutoffs were 0.4 for both boys and girls for all ages combined. Except for BMI, the slopes after the cutoffs were in general greater than those before.ConclusionsAll BMI metrics were strongly associated with %BF when stratified by age and race/ethnicity except that BMI was the least associated with %BF in boys for all ages combined. Overall, BMI z-score was superior for evaluation of %BF, and its cutoff of 0.4 can also serve as a threshold for careful monitoring of weight status.
