title: Essays on Rainfall Shocks and Decision-Making within Community Development Organisations in South Asia
Creators: name: Ahmed, Hamna
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2017

description: The first part of this dissertation examines the consequences of rainfall shocks on child health while the second part of the dissertation explores the process of collective decision-making within community development organisations in rural Pakistan. In the first chapter we examine the short, medium and long run effects of exposure to a drought during the first two years of life on physical growth and cognitive development. We use exogenous variation in rainfall at the district level for drought exposure. The aim of the second chapter is to examine the impact of rainfall variations during agricultural seasons in the pre-pregnancy, pre-natal and post-natal period on height in the short and long run. In addition to rainfall, we also study the effect of fluctuations in river water flows, and thereby water availability The through irrigation, on physical growth during the birth year and the year before. Finally, the aim of the third chapter is to examine how individual preferences of members running community development organisations aggregate into group preferences, and to what extent, intrinsic characteristics of members matter in determining whether their individual preferences are represented or ignored in group preferences. In order to answer these questions, we conducted a framed field experiment with community organisations in Pakistan. The experiment involved eliciting risk and time preferences of members by asking them to make organisational budgetary decisions on behalf of the organisation, first individually and then collectively after face-to-face deliberation amongst each other.

description: Pregnancy and motherhood constitute periods of tremendous hormonal variation that orchestrate parturition, lactation, maternal care and aggression, and recognition of offspring, among other functions. Cognitive processing also varies during pregnancy and motherhood and may serve an adaptive function in preparation for parturition and rearing. Additionally, maternal experience may have enduring consequences for the brain, behavior and cognition long after offspring are mature. However, the early postpartum period also renders women vulnerable as approximately 15% of women experience postpartum depression, with estimates of 50 - 80% reporting a milder form of depression termed ‘maternal blues.’ This review will present literature on pregnancy- and parity- related changes in both cognition and affect and how these changes likely involve plastic changes within the hippocampus, a region that is sensitive to reproductive hormones. Further, this review will discuss steroid and peptide hormones that may contribute to affective and cognitive disruptions during pregnancy and postpartum. Research in this area may reveal insight into how pregnancy and motherhood alter the likelihood of developing postpartum depression and related disorders.
title: The experiences of children and young people with and without learning disabilities who have a cleft lip and/or palate
Creators: name: Bates, Amanda Jane
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2017

description: Background and aim: Present at birth, a cleft lip and/or palate (CL±P) - affecting 1 in 700 births - requires a number of interventions (e.g. surgical, speech and language therapy) from birth until late adolescence. Increased psychosocial problems are reported in the literature for children and young people (CYP) with additional condition(s) to a CL±P (Feragen & Stock, 2014). However, the presence of a learning disability (LD) in addition to a CL±P remains qualitatively unexplored. How CYP with LDs and CL±P experience their different appearance, treatment, and their friendships, is unknown, making it difficult to ascertain their need for further support/interventions. This study therefore explored their experiences. Method: The triangulation of data sources resulted in 39 semi-structured interviews with 15 CYP with clefts (aged 10-16) with and without LDs, 15 parent interviews and nine interviews with Healthcare Professionals. Thematic Analysis was used to determine patterns across the data. Results: Nine superordinate themes were identified, and overlapped between participant groups; self-image, struggles, resilience, double vulnerability (of having LDs and a cleft), tensions, good practice, and promotion of rights. Struggles were particularly apparent for CYP with LDs/learning needs, and their parents. Resilience was most strongly asserted by CYP without LDs and their parents. However, key mediating factors affected experiences of appearance, treatment and friendships, namely how familial needs were met in hospital and school. Results led to an interpretative framework, and conceptual flow-diagram of the findings. Conclusion: Individualised care and support in hospitals and schools is pivotal to ensure inclusion, and improve the experiences of CYP with LDs and CL±P.

description: As a consequence of Covid-19 and the accompanied lockdowns, the demand for digital banking products and services has increased dramatically. Furthermore, the digital transformation in general has been significantly accelerated by the events of the past two years. For many banks, often with a long history, it is difficult to adapt to the new conditions so quickly. Established banks often need decision-making tools that help them use new technologies successfully and appropriately. In this thesis, alternatives to physical identification, which every new customer who wants to use a bank's product has to go through, are presented. In particular, video identification, which became legally effective as of 1 July 2017, is discussed. In order to find the right provider or software for video identification, the criteria catalogue provided in this thesis offers the necessary basis for banks to decide which provider meets their requirements. The criteria catalogue is based on Austrian national law and thus on the generally applicable directives of the European Union on the prevention of the use of the financial system for the purpose of money laundering and terrorist financing and also on the regulation on electronic identification and trust services for electronic transactions in the internal market. The criteria are kept general in order to be able to follow a best practice approach and to be validated by experts from the banking industry. Furthermore a general defined best practice criteria catalogue can also be applied to other jurisdictions. The validation through expert interviews supports the hypothesis that the criteria catalogue provides a good basis and meets all legal requirements for making a decision on which provider is suitable for a bank. The experts receive a holistic overview of the applicable guidelines and can thus make a decision regarding the use of video identification software quicker. Furthermore, the criteria catalogue can be used to check whether the video identification software already in use meets the current requirements.

Child occupants and side-impact crashes : Commentary

Publisher: name: Elsevier

description: Commentary piece. Side-impact crashes are more dangerous for children and represent a challenge to injury prevention efforts. A recent study found that significant injury occurred in 41% of side-impact crashes, 15% of frontal impacts, and 3% of rear impacts involving child occupants. In addition, other studies have reported child mortality rates of 30% for side-impact crashes and 17% for frontal-impact crashes. Because of the large size of the head in relation to the rest of the body, a child's head and neck are more vulnerable than those of an adult. Children have more head surface area and a lower-seated height, both of which increase the risk of contact with the interior door panel or pillars during side-impact crashes.
title: Ideas that Matter: Strategies of Intertextuality in A. S. Byatt's Fiction
Creators: name: Franchi, Barbara
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2017

description: What is the role of intertextuality and ekphrasis in A. S. Byatt's novels and short stories? How does Byatt deploy intertextuality to address the relationship between art as experience and representation? And how do intertextuality and ekphrasis enhance creativity and destructive forces across characters, texts and discourses? This thesis examines how the numerous intertextual and ekphrastic references in Byatt's fiction challenge and complicate the crucial relationship between ideas and matter, and between mental processes and bodily experiences. Starting from Kristeva's theory of intertextuality, I argue how in Byatt reading, storytelling and writing are not only the highly demanding intellectual activities that most of her characters engage with, but also potentially dangerous: writing can kill once written words come to replace actual experience (Chapter 1). Conversely, the visual arts, medicine and science, appearing throughout Byatt's fiction in the form of intertextual and ekphrastic presences, represent more positive, empowering and liberating elements because of the greater balance between the mental and the physical dimensions they encourage (Chapters 2 and 3). The two final chapters shift their attention from the metatextual, theoretical perspective of the first part and focus on how Byatt deploys intertextual strategies to address political and historical discourses, in particular war trauma and the construction of national identity. Where the weight of history defines material existence, intertextuality unleashes its most creative powers of self-defence and survival, and allows characters to defend themselves, through mythology and storytelling, against the traumas of war and cross-cultural encounters. Ultimately, Byatt's are stories of individual development: intertextuality and ekphrasis thus become the ultimate strategies with which her protagonists are given agency over themselves, either to fight for their own emancipation, or be the tragic cause of their own self-destruction.

Abstract
Olezarsen (TRYNGOLZA™) is a first-in-class, GalNAc3-conjugated antisense oligonucleotide being developed by Ionis Pharmaceuticals for the treatment of familial chylomicronaemia syndrome (FCS) and severe hypertriglyceridaemia. It binds to apoC-III mRNA, promoting its degradation and lowering serum apoC-III protein levels. This action lowers triglyceride levels by enhancing the clearance of plasma triglyceride-rich lipoproteins such as chylomicrons and very-low-density lipoproteins. GalNAc3 conjugation improves hepatocyte uptake, which helps localise oligonucleotide treatment to the liver; this enables lower dosing, reduced injection volume and frequency, potentially reducing the risk of adverse events such as thrombocytopenia. Olezarsen received its first approval in the USA on 19 December 2024 under priority review as an adjunct to diet to reduce triglycerides in adults with FCS. This article summarizes the milestones in the development of olezarsen leading to this first approval for FCS.

description: Wildflowers are plants rich in diversity that can be used in many different ways; nevertheless they are not widely used in Italian urban settings. This exploratory study aims to verify preference for wildflowers. To this end, seventy-six adults answered a questionnaire developed to assess a series of wildflower pictures for preference (pictures depicted wildflowers in natural and urban environments, showing pro and cons of this cultivation), and a series of questions concerning wildflowers and their use (questions served as a control of preference ratings). To verify a secondary hypothesis - how preference for wildflowers may be affected by the way the issue is presented - the questionnaire was presented with or without the title explaining the nature of the study, and each question presented with or without a picture. Finally, it was verified whether an individual’s connection to Nature affects preference for wildflowers. Results showed our participants liked wildflowers (no differences between genders and ages emerged) and this correlated with participants’ connection to Nature. However questions concerning the actual use of wildflowers in urban settings still remain, e.g. concerning the fauna that comes with them, and people being more used to ornamental vegetation that challenges preference and use of wildflowers.

description: For deep-space propulsion and interplanetary exploration, the centrifugal nuclear thermal rocket (CNTR) has the ability to achieve a very high specific impulse (Isp) metric beyond that of conventional chemical rockets or solid-core nuclear thermal propulsion systems. The high Isp allows the rocket to use less propellant or achieve a higher velocity for shorter transit times. However, the cylindrical containment structure of a CNTR fuel element encounters extreme conditions, as it houses molten uranium at temperatures exceeding 1408 K, leading to challenges such as dissolution, chemical reactions, and thermal stresses that conventional materials struggle to withstand. This study aims to address this issue by analyzing appropriate materials for constructing the cylindrical containment component. The operating conditions of the annular porous medium that confines the liquid uranium in the centrifugal fuel element are simulated by conducting a comprehensive one-dimensional numerical analysis using a range of candidate porous materials, including Mo, W, zirconium carbide, and silicon carbide. The porous structure facilitates the flow of the hydrogen propellant into the internal molten uranium section, where it gains significant thermal energy while simultaneously cooling the cylinder. The containment cylinder has an internal temperature of 1478.1 K, exceeding the melting point of uranium, while the external gas temperature of the hydrogen propellant is much lower. This temperature difference induces significant thermal stresses in the cylinder. The porous containment cylinder made from molybdenum was able to maintain elastic deformation throughout the thickness of the cylinder, showcasing its ability to handle these extreme thermal stress conditions. Tungsten, on the other hand, experienced plastic deformation at the cylinder’s edges and elastic deformation through the middle radial locations. In contrast, the stresses experienced by the ceramic materials far exceeded their failure stress values, leading to brittle failure. These findings will help with the refinement of the CNTR design, edging it closer to practical implementation.

Year: 2023

description: Therapeutics Letter 84 reviews the evidence for harms associated with long-term use of alendronate, etidronate, and risedronate. Conclusions: Systematic reviews assessing harms using observational studies are more difficult to conduct than traditional systematic reviews of RCTs assessing benefits. Bisphosphonates are associated with serious harms that are of similar clinical significance to their benefits. In secondary prevention, the small benefits of bisphosphonates likely outweigh the harms during the first 3 years of therapy, but harms likely outweigh benefits for durations greater than 3 years.

 Remarks: On comparing the setal length registered in the literature to this cosmopolite species it is seen that the Gondwanian specimens have shorter setal length. The teeth of the needles are 2 times shorter than in European or North-American specimens. This, associated with the variability of the branchial fossa in preserved specimens, makes the identification of the species difficult. According to Botea (1983), the Cuban specimens have “finament serrées” hairs, but this is not showed in his fig. 10 and needs confirmation. Dero cooperi Stephenson (1932), D. bonairensis Michaelsen (1933) and; D. quadribranchiata Cernosvitov (1937) are distinguished from D. digitata only by their needles with teeth of equal length.

Статья очерчивает круг экспортеров и импортеров России и Норвегии, вместе с которыми сотрудники Торгового Совета Норвегии закладывали фундамент делового сотрудничества в рыбном, нефтегазовом и строительном бизнесе.Статья про королевский визит в Россию в 1998 г. двуязычная, на русском и букмоле. Для скандинавистов, историков новейшего времени, всех изучающих и совершенствующих норвежский язык. Журнал со статьей доступен для чтения и скачивания на платформе издателя: Международный научный журнал "Исторический формат" №3 2020. Det norske kongebesøket til Moskva i 1998 kan symbolisere begynnelsen på den aller første modellen for handel og investeringer mellom nabolandene etter Sovjetunionens oppløsning. Modellen ble etter hvert et uttrykk for globalisering, fred og samarbeid mellom Norge og Russland, en «gullalder» i det bilaterale forholdet.

description: Background: Predictive models have revealed promising results for the individual prognosis of treatment response and relapse risk as well as for differential diagnosis in affective disorders. Yet, in order to translate personalized predictive modeling from research contexts to psychiatric clinical routine, standardized collection of information of sufficient detail and temporal resolution in day-to-day clinical care is needed. Digital collection of self-report measures by patients is a time- and cost-efficient approach to gain such data throughout treatment. Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate whether patients with severe affective disorders were willing and able to participate in such efforts, whether the feasibility of such systems might vary depending on individual patient characteristics, and if digitally acquired assessments were of sufficient diagnostic validity. Methods: We implemented a system for longitudinal digital collection of risk and symptom profiles based on repeated self-reports via tablet computers throughout inpatient treatment of affective disorders at the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Münster. Tablet-handling competency and the speed of data entry were assessed. Depression severity was additionally assessed by a clinical interviewer at baseline and before discharge. Results: Of 364 affective disorder patients who were approached, 242 (66.5%) participated in the study; 88.8% of participants (215/242) were diagnosed with major depressive disorder, and 27 (11.2%) had bipolar disorder. During the duration of inpatient treatment, 79% of expected assessments were completed, with an average of 4 completed assessments per participant; 4 participants (4/242, 1.6%) dropped out of the study prematurely. During data entry, 89.3% of participants (216/242) did not require additional support. Needing support with tablet handling and slower data entry pace were predicted by older age, whereas depression severity at baseline did not influence these measures. Patient self-reporting of depression severity showed high agreement with standardized external assessments by a clinical interviewer. Conclusions: Our results indicate that digital collection of self-report measures is a feasible, accessible, and valid method for longitudinal data collection in psychiatric routine, which will eventually facilitate the identification of individual risk and resilience factors for affective disorders and pave the way toward personalized psychiatric care.

title: Witness to the American Apocalypse? A Study of 21st Century "Doomsday" Prepping
Creators: name: Mills, Michael F.
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2017

description: This thesis addresses the phenomenon of 21st century "doomsday" prepping. Prepping is a primarily American phenomenon centred on storing food, water, and weapons for the purpose of surviving future crisis or social collapse. Growing rapidly post-2007/8, it is the successor to the right-wing American survivalist movement that flourished (and then disappeared) in the late-20th century. This thesis engages with a lack of scholarly knowledge on prepping, which has resulted in this phenomenon being understood through media-driven stereotypes and theories of older survivalist activity. Such understandings suggest that prepping is apocalyptic, millenarian, politically-extreme, and a product of the United States' fringe right-wing militia culture. Drawing on research that involved 200 online surveys responses, ethnography and interviews with 39 American preppers, and attendance at three prominent prepping conventions, the thesis challenges such dominant ideas. It shows prepping to be a distinct, more moderate wave of American survivalist activity. The thesis establishes that preppers typically do not prepare for an "apocalypse", nor do they think in millenarian terms. Preppers instead use their preparations as precautionary protection against temporary social collapse and job loss. The thesis also reveals that prepping is not as politically-extreme as is often speculated. Rather than militia ideology, prepping intermingles with waves of right-wing "Tea Party" discontent, as well as widespread frustration at the dysfunctional and post-political state of American democracy. Additionally this work reveals that, as far as preppers retreat from political and community life, their withdrawal is symptomatic of wider currents of American individualist values, and processes of civic decline. It is thus argued that prepping must be understood as a product of "mainstream" American society. It is concluded that prepping should be principally explained as a product of: late modern capitalism's effects on democracy, secure employment, and collective sympathies; contemporary media's impact on disaster-related fears; and the American Right's promotion of political anxiety and individualistic thinking.

description: Dero magna Harman, 1974   (Fig. 1 D-F)
 Dero (D.) magna Harman, 1974: 23, fig. 4A-C.
Material: Surinam 642,2 specimens (ZU-1315). Habitat: Limnetic; salinity 0.2%.
Description: Length 6.9-16.5 mm. Diameter 385-424 µm. Number of segments 130. Division-zone lacking. Prostomium like an obtuse cone. Very contracted branchial fossa with dorsal opening and 2 or 3 pairs of short gills. Bundles of dorsal setae begining at V in one specimen and VI in the other; one hair and one needle setae per bundle. The hairs are straight, smooth, thin and 256-328 µm long. The needles (Fig. 1D) are 88-108 µm long; the nodulus separates the straight proximal 2/3 from the bowed distal 1/3. The apex presents the proximal and distal teeth of equal length, 4 µm, and the thickness or the proximal tooth is somewhat longer; there are 2-5 intermediate teeth. The ventral bundles have 4, occasionally 3, setae in segments II-V, in the following segments there are 3 setae per bundle and 2 in the last segments. The length of the setae in II-V is 107-111 µm, the nodulus is medial and the teeth are alike in length, 10 µm, or the distal tooth is a little longer; the proximal tooth is the thickest (Fig. 1E). From VI onwards the length of the setae is 100-141 µm, the nodulus is proximal and the teeth have similar length or the proximal is a little longer. The proximal tooth is always the thickest (Fig. 1F).
 Remarks: Dero magna is known only be the type specimen and the two worms described here, the three of them from Surinam. Dero magna and D. asiatica Cernosvitov (1930) are distinguished from the other species of the genus by the size of the setae and by the posterior setae of similar length or longer than the anterior ones. There is a great possibility that D. magna is just an aberrant form of Aulophorus pectinatus Stephenson, 1931a (= A. intermedia Loden & Harman, 1982).

description: This article reveals the importance of studying the history of Uzbekistan in educating young people in the spirit of the ideology of national independence. The history of the development of the ethnic community "Uzbeks" and the formation of statehood is also given. One of the urgent problems facing the people of Uzbekistan is the task of educating young people in the spirit of the ideology of national independence. emphasized: "The spiritual foundation of our home, the pillars of the future of our state are very ancient and very strong. No one can deny this. Our history goes back a thousand years." Turning to history, it is necessary to remember that this is the "memory of the people" and therefore requires careful and respectful treatment. People who do not have historical memory turn into mankurts, people without a homeland, without morality, without a civic position.
