description: A tinta ferrogálica, introduzida no Brasil pelos portugueses no início do século XVI, era amplamente usada em documentos oficiais e manuscritos religiosos. A combinação de sulfato de ferro (FeSO4), isto é, íons de ferro (II), com taninos e ácido gálico, provenientes da galha, produz um complexo insolúvel de tonalidade preto-azulada, o galato de ferro (III). O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar como variações na proporção de FeSO₄ influenciam a cor e outras propriedades visuais da tinta ferrogálica. Inicialmente, realizou-se uma revisão de receitas históricas, identificando as proporções comuns entre FeSO4 e galha, observando-se a composição química, com destaque à quantificação de taninos e outros compostos relevantes. Na pesquisa experimental, prepararam-se amostras de tinta com diferentes concentrações de FeSO4. Conduziram-se análises colorimétricas preliminares, no espaço de cor CIELAB, para avaliar a intensidade de cor e estabilidade cromática ao longo do tempo. Os resultados mostraram que maiores concentrações de FeSO4 produzem tinta mais escura (menor luminosidade L*) e preta, enquanto menores concentrações geram tinta mais clara (maior luminosidade L*) e azulada (coordenada colorimétrica b* negativa). Os dados foram comparados com as referências para identificar padrões e diferenças significativas. A pesquisa sugere que compreender variações na formulação da tinta pode ajudar a identificar padrões e proporções que refletem as práticas históricas de fabricação de materiais da escrita no Brasil.

description: In the United States, individuals who identify as LGBTQ+ account for one out of every twenty people (Jones, 2021). LGBTQ+ individuals are subjected to discrimination and stigma from their friends, family, and members of society. This discrimination and stigma place them at an increased risk of adverse health issues. Although many may think healthcare discrimination is an issue of the past, LGBTQ+ Americans still report discrimination against them by healthcare providers, leading them to be less likely to seek care. Since nurses make up the greatest number of healthcare providers, they must be educated on LGBTQ+ Health. This study assessed the changes in attitudes of individuals from the beginning of their undergraduate nursing curriculum to their fourth semester, after having ten hours of didactic learning centered around the care of the LGBTQ+ population. Through this study, students were presented a case study centered around an LGBTQ+ patient and given practice using non-gender-specific terminology. Students were surveyed to assess their ability and comfort with LGBTQ+ health topics and care of LGBTQ+ individuals. The survey found that many students increased their knowledge and comfort with caring for LGBTQ+ individuals. Students reported that the case study was beneficial and should be utilized in future semesters. As a result, nursing schools should educate on LGBTQ+ health topics to help decrease the discrimination that LGBTQ+ individuals face from healthcare providers.

description: We present resolved Plateau de Bure Array observations of DM Tau in lines of HCO+ (3-2), (1-0) and DCO+ (3-2). A power-law fitting approach allowed a derivation of column densities of these two molecules. A chemical inner hole of ~50 AU was found in both HCO+ and DCO+ with DCO+ emission extending to only 450 AU. An isotopic ratio of R_D = N(DCO+) / N(HCO+) was found to range from 0.1 at 50 AU and 0.2 at 450 AU. Chemical modeling allowed an exploration of the sensitivity of these molecular abundances to physical parameters out with temperature, finding that X-rays were the domination ionization source in the HCO+ molecular region and that R_D also is sensitive to the CO depletion. The ionization fraction, assuming a steady state system, was found to be x(e-) ~ 10$^{-7}$. Modeling suggests that HCO+ is the dominant charged molecule in the disk but its contribution to ionization fraction is dwarfed by atmoic ions such as C+, S+ and H+.

Standardizing the Method of Measuring Water Security and Assessing Water’s Direct Role in Childhood Stunting in Zambia
Creators: name: Funaro, Syndie

Year: 2022

description: Although rates of childhood stunting in Zambia have improved, since the implementation of the Scaling Up Nutrition program, the problem persists. A majority of prevailing interventions target nutrition; however, given that rates remain alarmingly high, additional factors must be considered. Although food insecurity is undoubtedly at the root of childhood stunting, the role of water insecurity in perpetuating the problem has yet to be explored. My research was conducted to discover whether water insecurity has a strong, independent effect on childhood stunting in Zambia. Although scales have been developed in other countries, a standardized approach to measuring water insecurity in Zambia does not exist. My research sought to address this gap by constructing a Zambian-specific water insecurity scale based on responses to the SUN/ MCDPII Baseline Survey; a scale that accounts for the unique socioeconomic, cultural and geographic context of Zambia could be used to more accurately classify households as water secure or water insecure. Though the scale proved unreliable, further research was conducted on the particular water variables and sociodemographic characteristics associated with childhood stunting. A final investigation of each water variable was pursued to determine whether it was significantly, and independently, associated with the health outcome of interest. Findings from the study are intended to inform Zambian public health policy for more targeted allocation of funding and interventions.

description: Aims. We want to study the amount of molecular gas in a sample of nearby early-type galaxies (ETGs) which host low-luminosity Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN). We look for possible differences between the radio-loud (RL) and radio-quiet (RQ) AGN. Methods. We observed the CO(1-0) and CO(2-1) spectral lines with the IRAM 30m and NRO 45m telescopes for eight galaxies. They belong to a large sample of 37 local ETGs which host both RQ and RL AGN. We gather data from the literature for the entire sample. Results. We report the new detection of CO(1-0) emission in four galaxies (UGC0968, UGC5617, UGC6946, and UGC8355) and CO(2-1) emission in two of them (UGC0968 and UGC5617). The CO(2-1)/CO(1-0) ratio in these sources is $\sim0.7\pm0.2$. Considering both the new observations and the literature, the detection rate of CO in our sample is 55 $\pm$ 9%, with no statistically significant difference between the hosts of RL and RQ AGNs. For all the detected galaxies we converted the CO luminosities into the molecular masses, $M_{H_2}$, that range from 10$^{6.5}$ to 10$^{8.5}$ M$_{\odot}$, without any statistically significant differences between RL and RQ galaxies. This suggests that the amount of molecular gas does not likely set the radio-loudness of the AGN. Furthermore, despite the low statistical significance, the presence of a weak trend between the H$_{2}$ mass with various tracers of nuclear activity (mainly [O III] emission line nuclear power) cannot be excluded.

Women's crime and prison reform in early Pennsylvania, 1786-1829
Creators: name: Manion, Jennifer
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2008

description: My dissertation examines the role that ideologies of gender, sexuality and race played in the penal reform movement in Pennsylvania. Women's presence in prison throughout this vital era in the development of the penitentiary shaped the system in countless and often unacknowledged ways. Efforts aimed to define appropriate gender roles, restrict sexual practices, and cultivate moral refinement were dynamic but inconsistent. Changes to the penal code did not designate sex-specific punishment, but women were punished differently from men through the enactment of a sexual division of labor. Moreover, reformers sought to instill order by segregating prisoners along lines of sex, crime, race, and age. Official institutional and organizational records regarding race as a category of distinction were relatively silent in the 1780s and 1790s. By the 1820s, however, the consolidation of the language of darkness into "black" also led to the formation of a new category, "white." The implementation of racial classification and segregation reveals the gendered nature of the racial ideology that shaped institutional practice, since segregation was most strictly enforced among male convicts. Sex-segregation was implemented earlier and more fully. Aimed at thwarting heterosexual liaisons among prisoners, such excessive regulation along with the absence of concern about alternative sexualities enabled reformers to reproduce the social structure of compulsory heterosexuality, rooted in a heterosexual political economy, while simultaneously nurturing same-sex desire.

Intelligent Ecological Momentary Assessment Platform: Front-End Web App and Predictive Models
Creators: name: Liu, Mincen

Year: 2022

description: Through repeated sampling of subjects’ current behaviors and experiences in real-time, in subjects’ natural environments, Ecological momentary assessment (EMA) minimizes recall biases, maximizes ecological validity, and allows the study of microprocesses that influence behavior in real-world contexts. However, the repeated measurements may cause survey fatigue that results in low participants’ adherence, along with redundant information presented in the data. Tan et al. proposed an intelligent EMA (iEMA) method which aims to minimize the total number of questions to be asked to participants without sacrificing overall information to reduce the burden on participants. In this paper, we illustrate the concept of iEMA by introducing its overall workflow and basic components and focusing on the component of active data collection designed to accommodate the new framework and an attempt of improving the predictive models in the iEMA algorithms.
Supply chain agility in the service industry: an innovation perspective
Creators: name: Al Humdan, Eias
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2023
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Despite the large body of research devoted to the topic of supply chain agility (SCA), most studies agree that the concept is still under-theorised and suffers definitional ambiguity and structural fragmentation. To date, most of the published literature in SCA research has focused on the manufacturing industry. This study is an early attempt to investigate SCA in service industries. While research on the enablers or the factors that lead or affect SCA is voluminous and spanning from strategic to operational factors, research has simplified or ignored the role of firm innovativeness as an important input. Also, the previous research is inconsistent in its findings about the relationship between SCA and performance. This study aims to rectify these issues by developing a complete and new definition for SCA and constructing an integrative framework with appropriate hypotheses for the enablers and outcomes of SCA. To reflect on the multidisciplinary and multi-dimensional nature of SCA, this research advances the growing body of literature by proposing firm innovativeness in its three broad dimensions (service (product), process, and administrative innovation) as enablers of SCA and suggesting five broad dimensions of firm performance (operational, marketing, relational, cost and financial) as key performance implications of SCA. Theoretical substantiation is provided by integrating the resource theories with the service-dominant logic (SDL). Using data from 245 service firms in Australia collected using a novel approach, the analysis found that firm innovativeness is positively related to SCA, and SCA is positively related to firm performance making notably conceptual, methodological and empirical contributions. Achieving SCA from an innovation perspective has attracted less attention but has become central for firms operating within the service industry and in uncertainty contexts. This research also contributes to SCA in holistically examining its benefits and presents one of the few studies which empirically validates the statement that SCA manages market changes rapidly in a cost-effective way to gain a competitive advantage. The thesis concludes with a detailed discussion on implications, limitations and a future research agenda.
Exploring the Effects of Stigma Among Older African American Women Living with HIV
Creators: name: Maganga, Laika
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2022

description: Introduction: African American women aged 50 years and older are disproportionately affected by HIV. Yet, there are major gaps in the literature that adequately describe the experiences and needs of older African American women living with HIV. HIV remains a stigmatized topic and requires further research for this population of interest. This study aims to explore the effects of stigma among older African American women living with HIV. 
Methods: This is a qualitative descriptive study used secondary findings from a previous study with older women living with HIV. A total of 19 HIV positive Black women aged 50 years or older, older African American women or OAAW, participated in this study. A convenience sampling was used to recruit participants in the Ambulatory Care Center HIV Clinic in South Florida, USA. In-depth interviews were conducted using a semi-structured interview guide. The interviews were transcribed and content analysis was performed to identify major themes. 
Results: Seven themes emerged from the in-depth interviews: (1) Need for HIV to be a secret, (2) Discrimination, (3) Participants perception of anticipated stigma, (4) Changes in behavior associated with fear of stigma, (5) Participants perceptions of reasons for stigmatizing behaviors/discrimination, (6) Participants emotional response to experienced stigma, and (7) Suggestions for future interventions to cope with HIV stigma and raise awareness about it.
Conclusion: Findings from this study confirm HIV-related stigma remains a major barrier for older African American women to overcome and cope with. Future research should be conducted to increase awareness and addressing the effects of stigma among older African American women.
The Role of Histone 3 Lysine 4 Methyltransferase Kmt2d in T cell Homeostasis
Creators: name: Singh, Yasharth
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2022

description: KMT2D is a methyltransferase that adds a methyl group to histone H3 lysine 4 (H3K4). This epigenetic modification promotes gene expression and plays an important role in the differentiation and development of immune cells. We previously found that mice whose T cells are deficient for KMT2D display reduced populations of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells when compared to wildtype mice. We hypothesized this lowered T cell count was the result of reduced homeostatic proliferation in KMT2D knockout mice, which is the process by which cells repopulate to resolve lymphopenia. We assessed proliferation in mutant mice by staining for apoptotic and proliferation markers to determine the cause of the observed lymphopenia. Through this analysis, we found that KMT2D deficient T cells actually exhibit reduced apoptosis and increased expression of proliferative markers when compared to wildtype mice. To directly compare homeostatic proliferation between deficient and wildtype T cells, both populations were transferred into lymphopenic hosts and allowed to divide for seven days. Proliferation was assessed using CFSE staining and KMT2D deficient T cells were found to have divided less than wildtype mice, indicating that KMT2D promotes proliferation in T cells. Additional research is needed to determine the mechanics of KMT2D’s impact on T cell maintenance to explain why KMT2D-TCD mice are unable to resolve lymphopenia.

description: Workers all over the country are leaving their jobs at rates never seen before due to burnout, lack of flexibility and training, job design, value misalignment, and even toxic workplaces, among others. The pandemic has provided an opportunity for many employees to contemplate the meaning of work and what qualities in a company are important to them. Organizations need to understand this phenomenon and tap into the minds of their employees to see what they value today.  Green culture is a relatively new and unstudied concept in academic literature. However, companies across the United States have recently begun implementing sustainability and environmental aspects into their organizational culture. Therefore, it is important that the concept and its potential applications are better understood by business leaders and academic scholars. Through in-depth interviews with 11 employees from a leading aluminum packaging company, this study provides insights into key perceived and experienced aspects of green culture and the influence green culture has on employee commitment. Results of the study are discussed and compiled into a white paper and LinkedIn Learning style video for companies to utilize in efforts to reduce turnover and attract the best talent.

description: This report analyses new product development (NPD) using the Stage Gate © (Cooper, 2001) model. The review is from a manufacturing perspective and considers different fundamental approaches. The scoping review study focuses on the effects of R&D, project management approach, risk management, core competencies, new technologies, product innovation, program implementation and market influence that are essential to the success of new products. Based on a variety of case studies across the manufacturing industry, the findings show that in the innovative techno-savvy markets emerging from the 21st century, there arises the need to successfully and sustainably convert concepts into practical applications, resulting in new products. In the manufacturing industry, the Stage Gate ® model aims to ensure that such occurs with minimum risk and maximum long-term profitability. This product management technique ensures that a complex project is sub-divided into gates and stages. It warrants the use of go, kill, hold, and rework decisions at each gate, to enable a full-proof product idea to product launch process. Even though the technique may stunt creativity, is heavy on resources and is time consuming, if used effectively or in conjunction with open innovation methods – there is huge success.
The machine in the forest: a political ecology of snowmobiling and conflict in Maine's north woods
Creators: name: Andrews, Marguerite
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2008

description: In Maine's north woods, a vast expanse of more than 60,000 square kilometers of mostly private, second-growth forestland, sweeping changes in land ownership and consequent large-scale conservation efforts have provoked a layered debate. Many residents of the woods have reacted vociferously against preservationist policies that aim to restrict practices such as hunting, motorized recreation, and timber harvesting on lands where they have lived, worked, and played for generations. The clashes in the forest are multifaceted, involving control over access and appropriate uses, disparate aesthetics and ideologies, and divergent constructions of both the landscape and rural livelihoods. In an effort to tease out and better understand these broader aspects of conflict, I explore the history and culture of snowmobiling, both generally and within Maine. Snowmobiling is one of several practices that north woods communities are identifying as traditional and attempting to preserve in the face of intensifying natural resource protection efforts and ensuing restrictions. I argue that opponents' framing of snowmobiling simply as a threat to forest ecologies can mask underlying ideological, aesthetic, and socio-cultural objections which also work to shape beliefs and policy regarding the place for humans and their various activities in natural areas. Dominant environmental discourses and expectations of human relations with nature are characterized by dualistic ways of thinking that situate nature/culture, rural/urban, and tradition/technology in separate realms. Thus I aim to establish linkages among these discrete categories and reveal how dichotomous frameworks effectively privilege certain practices and people, while silencing or dismissing local social, economic, and environmental relations and histories. However, this project of deconstruction and redefinition is not just my own. My research demonstrates that local residents of Maine's woods are not merely struggling for the retention of access points; more profoundly, they are advancing alternate discourses of nature, rurality, and tradition in a fight to defend and protect their livelihood(s) and culture(s).

description: The Inaliti Huis, which means ‘Needle House’ translating from isiZulu/Xhosa and Afrikaans is a sharps bin, which is designed to be placed in public areas in South Africa. This concept is based on the idea of ‘Safe Houses’ which are safe drug injection sites. Needle and syringe programmes provide drug users with sterile equipment but with less opportunity to safely dispose of sharps. Therefore these sharp bins are aimed at providing hygienic and safe zones to dispose of sharps to all-drug users/other members of the public. It is essential to deliver a secure and reliable means of discarding of sharps to ensure that needles do not get re-used and re-purposed, thereby reducing spread of infection and disease. The Inaliti Huis, will be of two sizes, one for indoor public areas and one for outdoor spaces. Both bins will be accessible and serviceable for maintenance, sharps bag removal and replacement from a 2-point locking system. The AutoSep is a waste disposal and management system for the used sharps and is done in 2 stages, the initial process of autoclaving – which is sterilization process that utilises steam at high pressures. And the second stage of separating the waste into different sized components using a vibratory separator. There will be deep analysis on the methodology, testing procedures, thought process and design patterns used to create the Inaliti Huis and the AutoSep. Strength of material calculations, finite element analysis, simulations and operations will be discussed and interpreted for the sharps bin and the waste disposal method. A detailed exanimation and explanation on the design procedures implemented for both designs, the build process, costing, modifications and alterations will be discussed along with future recommendations and concluding remarks encompasses this report.

description: Abstract
Background: Therapeutic eccentric exercise may offer significant functional & structural advantages during tendinopathy rehabilitation therapy. The purpose of this study is to determine whether eccentric exercise can reduce discomfort and enhance grip strength in study participants with medial epicondylitis. Methods: For the pre-to-posttest experimental design study being conducted at the lady Reading hospital (LRH) in Peshawar, 30 patients with medial epicondylitis complaints were randomly divided into two groups: Group A (CG); 15 and Group B (TG); 15. While the treatment group (TG) received 4 weeks of both conventional and eccentric exercise, the control group (CG) only received conventional physical therapy. Result: When data from the two groups were gathered and compared using the T-independent test, it became clear that there was no statistically significant difference between them in terms of the gains made in terms of grip strength and VAS scores. However, when the averages of VAS score and grip strength were analyzed using the Willcoxon signed ranked test and paired-t-test within the group with a positive percentage of change, there was a significant change. Conclusion: After 4 weeks of the eccentric exercise programme intervention in addition to conventional physical therapy for the medial epicondylitis patients in the treatment group, results showed statistically significant effects on improving patients' grip strength & reducing pain intensity, but the improvement obtained has shown no difference when compared with the conventional treatment for patient with epicondylitis.

description: Este trabalho avaliou de enzimas de 14 fungos isolados encontrados em uma pintura de Portinari. Os fungos foram cultivados em BDA. Para os testes enzimáticos empregaram-se meios com diferentes fontes de carbono: carboximetilcelulose, xilana, lignina e peptona com extrato de malte. Para revelação da celulase utilizou-se a coloração vermelho congo. Para a xilanase foi utilizada a solução triiodeto de potássio. Para a determinação de produção enzimática foi empregado o índice enzimático cujos diâmetros dos halos de hidrólise foram divididos pelos de crescimento fúngico. Todos os isolados mostraram crescimento micelial nos substratos testados. Os isolados que apresentaram atividades celulolítica e xilanolítica baixa foram Arthrinium rasikravindrae, Chaetomium globosum, Mytilinidion decipiens e Pleurostoma richardsiae. O Aspergillus oryzae o Epicoccum nigrum apresentaram atividades xilanolíticas e celulolítica respectivamente baixas. E apresentaram atividades de xilanase intermediárias foram Aspergillus niger, Didymela microchlamydospora e Penicillium crysogenum. Já os 4 isolados Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus nomius, Penicillium crysogenum e Epicocum nigrum apresentaram atividades xilanolíticas altas. Contudo é interessante avaliar que o perfil enzimático desses isolados apresenta-se com potenciais biotecnológicos promissores com vistas para aplicação na degradação de corantes produzidos pela indústria têxtil contribuindo para mitigação e sustentabilidade do impacto dessa atividade econômica no meio ambiente.

description: Analyses of potentiometric measurements were conducted on ternary complexes of copper(II) with dipicolinic acid and quinolinic acid, as well as lactic acid, oxalic acid, citric acid, and phosphoric acid, which are components of blood plasma. Studies on chemical speciation showed that ternary compounds were more likely to be formed. In systems with quinolinic acid, the solubility was small, and most complexes precipitated at pH ≤ 2. In situ isolated ternary and binary complexes of CuDiPic(H2O)2 were evaluated for antioxidant activity, as shown by their inhibiting activity of superoxide anion (O2.−), which demonstrates copper(II) complexes provide protective effects. Docking studies of ligands with a protein kinase revealed that the Cu(II) metal centre is crucial for the successful interaction of the complex with the receptor’s active site.

Masculinity in video games

description: Historically developed for male audiences, video games are played by more women than ever before. Even though men and women represent a near equal split among game players, the gender disparity of the teams creating video is significant. This study aims to establish whether a correlation exists between a games popularity and the gender composition of its development team. Specifically, it investigates whether games with more gender diverse development teams garner greater viewership on Twitch. For this research, Twitch was used as a proxy for game popularity given its ability to capture the attention of gaming audiences. To test the hypothesis, a content analysis of 100 of the “most popular” games was conducted over a 30-day period using publicly available data. The games were split up into a “top 50” and “bottom 50”. Based on the data, there was no difference in gender diversity between the two groups of games.

description: In today’s climate, customers say diversity, equity and inclusion within a company’s values are important to them. According to Fair Play Talks, two thirds of consumers prefer to buy brands with inclusive advertising, and it is time companies give the customers what they want (Fair Play Talks, 2020).  Larger companies are focusing on their diversity and inclusion plans, but can have a harder time articulating their goals, especially to a younger generation who are not easy to persuade.  For those businesses that do try to be inclusive, it uses the same stock images and videos as everyone else and the audience sees right through this lazy attempt to be diverse (Diaz, 2021).  Companies, big and small, also get stuck in their ways and rely on what has always worked in the past, even though that is not what the audience is asking for.  The millennial generation is able to quickly understand if a company is being authentic with their diversity, equity and inclusion efforts, or if a business is saying all the right things because it is currently a trending topic, but once the spotlight is off, goes back to its old ways. It is important for a business to truly believe in its efforts and walk the walk from the inside of an organization.
Aharonov-Bohm effect for excitons in a semiconductor quantum ring dressed by circularly polarized light

description: We show theoretically that the strong coupling of circularly polarized photons to an exciton in ring-like semiconductor nanostructures results in physical nonequivalence of clockwise and counterclockwise exciton rotations in the ring. As a consequence, the stationary energy splitting of exciton states corresponding to these mutually opposite rotations appears. This excitonic Aharonov-Bohm effect depends on the intensity and frequency of the circularly polarized field and can be detected in state-of-the-art optical experiments.

description: In [4], Dunwoody defined resolutions for finitely presented group actions on simplicial trees, that is, an action of the group on a tree with smaller edge and vertex stabilizers. He, moreover, proved that the size of the resolution is bounded by a constant depending only on the group. Extending Dunwoody's definition of patterns we construct resolutions for group actions on a general finite dimensional CAT(0) cube complex. In dimension two, we bound the number of hyperplanes of this resolution. We apply this result for surfaces and 3-manifolds to bound collections of codimension-1 submanifolds.
