Two different modes of oscillation in a gene transcription regulatory network with interlinked positive and negative feedback loops
Creators: name: Karmakar, Rajesh
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Molecular Networks (q-bio.MN)
subject: FOS: Biological sciences

description: We study the oscillatory behaviour of a gene regulatory network with interlinked positive and negative feedback loop. Frequency and amplitude are two important properties of oscillation. Studied network produces two different modes of oscillation. In one mode (mode 1) frequency remains constant over a wide range amplitude and in other mode (mode 2) the amplitude of oscillation remains constant over a wide range of frequency. Our study reproduces both features of oscillations in a single gene regulatory network and show that the negative plus positive feedback loops in gene regulatory network offer additional advantage. We identified the key parameters/variables responsible for different modes of oscillation. The network is flexible in switching between different modes by choosing appropriately the required parameters/variables.

Vom Leben im Trotzdem - Gedanken zu den Paralympischen Spielen 2012

description: The concerns of the Paralympic Games go far beyond the media representation of high-performance sports. Questioning deficit-oriented meanings of disability the aim especially is to change social perception, thoughts and action patterns. In turn, notions of identity are constructed and anchored in society, assuming that impairments are accessible with the appropriate individual commitment or claiming that it is possible to reach high-performance despite disability. From an intersectional perspective interest is paid to the context-specific and ambivalent implications of associated discourses, normalization patterns and practices. And attempt to clarify the effects of these ideas athletes with – but also without – disabilities face in everyday life. Die Anliegen der Paralympischen Spiele reichen weit über die mediale Repräsentation sportlicher Höchstleistungen von Menschen mit Behinderungen hinaus. Sie stellen defizitorientierte Bedeutungen des Begriffs Behinderung radikal in Frage und zielen darauf ab, gesellschaftliche Wahrnehmungs-, Denk- und Handlungsmuster zu verändern. Im Gegenzug werden Identitätsvorstellungen konstruiert und gesellschaftlich verankert, die davon ausgehen, dass Beeinträchtigungen bei entsprechendem individuellem Engagement überwindbar und Höchstleistungen trotz Behinderung erreichbar seien. Ihnen und den damit verbundenen Abgrenzungsprozessen geht dieser Text aus einer intersektionalen Perspektive nach und richtet das Interesse vor allem auf die kontextspezifischen Wechselwirkungen zwischen Handlungserwartungen, Macht- und Wissenssystemen, mit deren Effekten Sportler_innen mit – aber auch ohne – Behinderungen alltäglich konfrontiert sind.

description: A sigma-phase Fe65.9V34.1 alloy was investigated with the AC magnetic susceptibility as a function of temperature, frequency and external magnetic field. An evidence was found that its magnetism shows features characteristic of a reentrant behavior viz. two transitions: first at TC ca.312K from the paramagnetic state into the collinear ferromagnetic one, and second at Tf ca.302K to a mixed state (sometimes termed as a ferromagnetic re-entrant spin glass) which, finally, at a lower temperature (TRSG ca.60K) transforms to a state where replica symmetry is broken. The frequency dependence of Tf is lower than that of canonical spin glasses, a feature, that in the light of a high concentration of magnetic carriers, can be understood in terms of a weak coupling between magnetic clusters.

description: A specific Horndeski scalar-gravity mimetic model is investigated within a FLWR space-time. The mimetic scalar field is implemented via a Lagrangian multiplier, and it is shown that the model has equations of motion formally similar to the original simpler mimetic matter model of Chamseddine-Mukhanov-Vikman. Several exact solutions describing inflation, bounces, future time singularities are presented and discussed.

The struggles of others. Yvonne Rainers Film 'Privilege' (1990) im Kontext ästhetischer und theoretischer Debatten um Intersektionalität
Creators: name: Zimmermann, Anja

description: In retrospect Yvonne Rainer commented on her film Privilege: „How could I in good conscience, as a white middle-class woman, portray working-class people of color, especially men? The script drove me half crazy to the point where I was ready to give up filmmaking and go back to school.“ The problem which Rainer expresses hereby concerns not only the aesthetic but also the political sphere. The text explores the relationship of both by contextualizing Rainers Film with contemporary examples from the visual arts (Cindy Sherman, Betye Saar et al.) and argues that the aesthetic strategy of these works as well as Rainers film can be adaequately described by referring to the theoretical concept of intersectionality. Im Rückblick auf die Produktion ihres Films Privilege stellte Rainer sich folgende Frage: „How could I in good conscience, as a white middle-class woman, portray working-class people of color, especially men? The script drove me half crazy to the point where I was ready to give up filmmaking and go back to school.“ Das Problem, das Rainer hiermit zum Ausdruck bringt, beruht auf der Verknüpfung von politischem und ästhetischem Feld. Der Text beleuchtet diese Verknüpfung im Kontext zeitgenössischer Beispiele aus der bildenden Kunst (Cindy Sherman, Betye Saar u.a.) unter dem Begriff der Intersektionalität und argumentiert für eine Verwendung des Begriffs zur Analyse der erwähnten Verbindungen zwischen Ästhetik und Politik.

Assessing the Role of the United States and the European Union in Democracy Promotion in Ukraine
Creators: name: Mawby, Heidi Danielle
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2008

description: Both the United States (US) and the European Union (EU) are involved in democracy promotion efforts across the world. This thesis examines how each employs its own approach for doing so, and how effective these approaches have been during two different phases of Ukrainian democracy. Although the approaches are complementary and both play a positive role for democracy in Ukraine, they have each been more effective during different phases. During Ukraine's latest transition phase, known as the Orange Revolution, the US "bottom-up approach," with its focus on free and fair elections as well as civil society, was more effective in helping the Ukrainians overcome their corrupt regime. The EU, with its "top-down" and integrative approach, is currently playing a more influential role in helping Ukraine consolidate its democratic gains.

description: Berkeley FrameNet is a lexico-semantic resource for English based on the theory of frame semantics. It has been exploited in a range of natural language processing applications and has inspired the development of framenets for many languages. We present a methodological approach to the extraction and generation of a computational multilingual FrameNet-based grammar and lexicon. The approach leverages FrameNet-annotated corpora to automatically extract a set of cross-lingual semantico-syntactic valence patterns. Based on data from Berkeley FrameNet and Swedish FrameNet, the proposed approach has been implemented in Grammatical Framework (GF), a categorial grammar formalism specialized for multilingual grammars. The implementation of the grammar and lexicon is supported by the design of FrameNet, providing a frame semantic abstraction layer, an interlingual semantic API (application programming interface), over the interlingual syntactic API already provided by GF Resource Grammar Library. The evaluation of the acquired grammar and lexicon shows the feasibility of the approach. Additionally, we illustrate how the FrameNet-based grammar and lexicon are exploited in two distinct multilingual controlled natural language applications. The produced resources are available under an open source license.
Two Blue Crocodiles [...] Theorie_Praxis - Eine Frage der Verkehrsregelung?
Creators: name: Lummerding, Susanne
Publisher: name: FKW // Zeitschrift für Geschlechterforschung und visuelle Kultur
Year: 2014

description: By reference to Mart Busche's and Olaf Stuve's animated Video Clip “Two Blue Crocodiles and the Gap in the System”, designed as an „educational film“ for further education and prevention of violence in order to “‘introduce’ the concept of intersectionality” (Busche/Stuve 2012) the article interlinks the following issues: Discussing the Video Clip as an audio-visual format conceptualized to communicate intersectionality, and its perception by experts from the field of education and training, it analyses the role of visual representation in this context, as well as the preconditions of perception, and the relation between intersectionality and Visual Culture. Further, a rereading of Kimberlé Crenshaw's metaphor of “intersection” introduced in 1989 in her article “Demarginalizing the Intersection of Race and Sex” – which had a lasting effect until today not only by coining a term but also in shaping a notion – prompts focussing on the concept of responsibility. Interlinking the questions of responsibility, the critique of representation, the relation of theory and practice, and the consequences to draw for an anti-discriminatory theory_practice, the article with respect to aspirations to challenge hegemonic constructions of reality – and contrary to popular juxtapositions of theory and practice – argues for an understanding of theory_practice fully aware of its responsibility. Der als „Lehrfilm“ für eine „‚Einführung‘ in das Intersektionalitätskonzept“ in der Erwachsenenbildung und Gewaltprävention konzipierte animierte Videoclip Zwei blaue Krokodile und die Lücke im System (Busche/Stuve 2012) bildet den Ausgangspunkt für die Analyse und Verknüpfung folgender Fragenkomplexe: Zum einen werden ausgehend von der Analyse dieses Videos als audiovisuelles Format zur Vermittlung von Intersektionalität sowie dessen Rezeption im Bildungs-/Beratungsbereich kritische Überlegungen zur Rolle visueller Repräsentation in diesem Kontext, den Voraussetzungen von Wahrnehmung und zum Verhältnis der Konzepte von Intersektionalität und von Visueller Kultur entwickelt. Zum anderen wird über eine Relektüre von Kimberlé Crenshaws – in ihrem begriffsprägenden Aufsatz Demarginalizing the Intersection of Race and Sex 1989 formulierter – Metapher der Straßenkreuzung, die ein bis heute nachhaltig wirksames Vorstellungsbild generierte, der Fokus auf den Begriff der Verantwortung gerichtet. Die Fragen der Verantwortung, der Repräsentationskritik, des Verhältnisses von Theorie und Praxis und der Konsequenzen für eine antidiskriminatorische Theorie_Praxis miteinander verknüpfend, wird, entgegen gängigen Gegenüberstellungen von Theorie und Praxis, in Hinblick auf kritische Interventionen in hegemoniale Realitätskonstruktionen für eine verantwortungs-bewusste Konzeption von Theorie_Praxis argumentiert.

Green blood.: a phenomenological study of long-term Girl Scout volunteers
Creators: name: Oakleaf, Linda
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2006

description: This study examined the role of Girl Scout volunteering for women. I used three guiding questions: 1) why women engaged in volunteering, 2) whether they considered it leisure, and 3) how they negotiated constraints to volunteering. Research was conducted through interviews with 12 long-term Girl Scout volunteers. Phenomenology provided the theoretical standpoint for the analysis, and constant comparison of the data resulted in several themes. All participants had daughters in their troops, and connected their volunteering to the responsibility to care for their daughter. Participants benefited from volunteering, which motivated them to continue. Most participants adopted a role identity as Girl Scout volunteers. Participants experienced volunteering as serious leisure, with all of the advantages and disadvantages inherent in commitment to complex pursuits.

description: We analyze the probability of a single loop formation in a long flexible polymer chain in disordered environment in $d$ dimensions. The structural defects are considered to be correlated on large distances $r$ according to a power law $\sim r^{-a}$. Working within the frames of continuous chain model and applying the direct polymer renormalization scheme, we obtain the values of critical exponents governing the scaling of probabilities of loop formation with various positions along the chain as function of loops length. Our results quantitatively reveal that the presence of structural defects in environment decreases the probability of loop formation in polymer macromolecules.
Modality Through Fiction's Eye
Creators: name: Brantner, James
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2013

description: This paper explores the relationship between modality and fiction, particularly in regard to questions asked by both about identity of objects across worlds or fictions and about how the relationship between fictional or possible objects and their properties should be explained. On the latter question, it concludes that, while the exemplifying/encoding distinction as spelled out by Edward Zalta is problematic, the distinction captures an important intuition and should be re-imagined in such a way as to avoid those problems. Additionally, the analysis of both questions draw out strong parallels between fictions and possible worlds indicating that the distinction will apply in a similar way to both.

description: Die kürzlich verstorbene Behindertenrechtsaktivistin Judy Heumann beschreibt die Bedeutsamkeit digitaler Medien im Sinne Assistiver Technologien (AT): „For most of us, technology makes things easier. For a person with disabilities, it makes things possible” (Edyburn, 2020, S. 11). Zur gleichberechtigten aktiven Teilhabe am Unterricht und damit an Bildung benötigen manche Schüler:innen spezielle Hilfsmittel. Assistive Technologien bieten Optionen der Partizipation (Fisseler, 2020) und lassen sich aufgrund des Fokus auf das Individuum von Barrierefreiheit und Universal Design weitestgehend abgrenzen. Der Beitrag beschreibt den Einsatz von Assistiven Technologien im schulischen Umfeld sowie die Optionen der Implementation im schulischen Alltag. Die einerseits hoch eingeschätzte Relevanz von Assistiven Technologien (Edyburn, 2020) geht gleichzeitig mit einer geringen Implementation in der Schule einher (Bouck & Long, 2021). Diesem Mangel sollte mit einer Lehrer:innenausbildung begegnet werden, die Kompetenzen hervorbringt, die die Lehrkräfte in einem transdisziplinären Team den Einsatz von Assistiven Technologien planen lässt. Der Vorschlag für ein Seminarkonzept für die erste Phase der Lehrer:innenbildung wird abschließend dargelegt. Abstract The recently deceased disability rights activist Judy Heumann describes the importance of digital media in terms of assistive technologies (AT): "For most of us, technology makes things easier. For a person with disabilities, it makes things possible" (Edyburn, 2020, S. 11). Some pupils need special aids in order to participate actively in lessons and thus in education on an equal footing. Assistive technologies offer options for participation (Fisseler, 2020) and can be largely distinguished from accessibility and universal design due to the focus on the individual. The article describes the use of assistive technologies in the school environment as well as the options for implementation in everyday school life. The highly rated relevance of assistive technologies (Edyburn, 2020) is accompanied by a low level of implementation in schools (Bouck & Long, 2021). This deficiency should be countered with teacher training that produces competences that allow teachers to plan the use of assistive technologies in a transdisciplinary team. The proposal for a seminar concept for the first phase of teacher education is presented in conclusion.

description: Some people hold beliefs that are opposed to overwhelming scientific evidence. Such misperceptions can be harmful to both personal and societal well-being. Communicating scientific consensus has been found effective in eliciting scientifically accurate beliefs, but it is unclear whether it is also effective in correcting false beliefs. Here we show that a boosting strategy that empowers people to understand and identify scientific consensus can help to correct misperceptions. In three experiments with over 1,500 US adults holding false beliefs, participants first learned the value of scientific consensus and how to identify it. Subsequently, they were exposed to a news article with information about a scientific consensus opposing their belief. We found strong evidence that in the domain of genetically engineered food this two-step communication strategy is more successful in correcting misperceptions than merely communicating scientific consensus. The data suggest the current approach may not work for misperceptions about climate change. If you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact a.vanstekelenburg@bsi.ru.nl

In fact, we reconstruct the entire phase diagram including the Ising, matrix and stripe boundaries together with the triple point. We also report that the measured critical exponents of the Ising transition line agrees with the Onsager values in two dimensions. The triple point is identified as a termination point of the one-cut-to-two-cut transition line and is located at $(\tilde{b},\tilde{c})=(-1.55,0.4)$ which compares favorably with previous Monte Carlo estimate.

description: Description: England Netball (EN), with the National Federation Women’s Institute (NFWI) has developed a Walking Netball (WN) programme for adult women. The programme will be delivered across England from March 2018 until December 2020. We will evaluate, and provide additional learning for the WN programme. As such, the overall aims of the proposed research are: 1. To evaluate the effectiveness of Walking Netball in reaching inactive adult females and helping them become active, increase their activity levels and motivation to sustain participation 2. To evaluate the impact of the programme on perceived mental and physical health, and objective physical performance outcomes 3. To evaluate the factors influencing the implementation of the Walking Netball programme and participation by inactive older women. The aims will be achieved by addressing the following objectives: • Assess uptake of the programme by WI members and the characteristics of participants • Assess changes in physical activity levels over a 12 month period • Assess the impact of the sources of social support on motivation and perceived loneliness of those participating in the programme • Assess changes in perceived mental and physical health outcomes, and objective physical performance outcomes • Assess participant satisfaction • Assess the uptake of the programme by WIs or WI Federations and the factors influencing uptake • Identify the key barriers and facilitators for implementing the programme and how this impacts on programme fidelity and adaptation • Identify barriers and facilitators for engagement, participation and adherence (and reasons for drop out) • Identify factors influencing the long-term sustainability of the programme in the WI.
HELPING OBESE PREGNANT WOMEN ACHIEVE HEALTHY WEIGHT GAIN: IS PROVIDER INTERVENTION FEASIBLE?
Creators: name: Marshburn, Mandy
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2017

description: Problem Statement: Obesity rates among reproductive aged women are steadily rising. Obesity has significant health implications for pregnant woman and their babies. Obese pregnant women are more likely to gain excessive weight during pregnancy, further increasing health risks. While it is not possible to reverse obesity during pregnancy, it is possible to prevent excessive weight gain. Individualized counseling about physical activity and nutrition given by the primary obstetrical provider is the most effective intervention in helping obese pregnant women achieve healthy gestational weight gain (GWG). Providers may not find it feasible to offer individualized counseling when prenatal care visits are restricted to 10-15 minutes.
      Purpose: The purpose of this DNP Project was to assess the feasibility of implementing the Clinician Lead Intervention of Daily Physical Activity and Healthy Eating (CINDHE) within a prenatal clinic in which a Certified Nurse Midwife (CNM) provides individual care for low-risk pregnant women. CINDHE is an evidence-based lifestyle intervention to assist obese pregnant women achieve healthy gestational weight gain.
      Methods:  Participants were given Fitbit activity trackers to track daily physical activity and nutrition data was obtained by having participants complete a nutrition survey at each prenatal
      visit. Physical activity and nutrition data were reviewed and individualized counseling on diet and nutrition was given during each visit. Feasibility of implementation was assessed by tracking time spent with patients in the exam room and weekly transcribed voice memos recorded by the CNM. The effectiveness of the intervention was assessed by GWG, physical activity, and nutrition compared with historic matched cases.
      Analysis: Descriptive data analyses and correlations were translated conservatively, taking into consideration the small sample size and study design. Descriptive statistics were used to calculate results of quantitative data (time of visits, weight gain, physical activity, nutrition). Qualitative data (provider perception and patient satisfaction) were coded, organized into common themes, and placed into table format to translate results.
      Results: CINDHE proved feasible to implement. Data demonstrated that the intervention was effective in achieving healthy GWG. Participants demonstrated the ability to increase physical activity levels and make healthy food choices.

description: High-order harmonic generation (HHG) is investigated for H$_2^+$ and its isotopomers under seven- and ten-cycle trapezoidal laser pulses at 800 nm wavelength and $I$=4$\times 10^{14}$ W$/$cm$^2$ intensity. We solved numerically full-dimensional electronic time-dependent Schrödinger equation with and without the Born-Oppenheimer approximation. We show that the HHG at the falling edge of a trapezoidal laser pulse can result in redshift and complexity on the total HHG spectrum which can be removed by considering different laser pulse duration and nuclear motion not possible for sin$^2$ and Gaussian laser pulses. We resolve the redshifts and complexities of the HHG spectra into different electronic and vibrational states and their interferences.

description: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and has become a global pandemic. The signs and symptoms most common are fever, cough, fatigue, anorexia, shortness of breath and myalgia. In the most severe cases, the patients can develop pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), sepsis or septic shock. Medications such as hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine have been used but their use is currently not recommended to treat the coronavirus disease 2019. We will perform a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the efficacy and safety of chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine in patients with COVID-19.
Incredible Active Region 1429: One for the record books
Creators: name: Zheng, Yihua
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: This is a detailed description of the Active Region 1429 during March of 2012, written sometime during 2012. 

On March 2, 2012, Active Region (AR) 1429 rotated onto the Earth-facing solar disk. For about 27 days (roughly one solar rotation period), it was in continual activity,  producing large eruptions such as solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs), two of the most energetic/catastrophic solar phenomena.

 

Note: the ISWA (Integrated Space Weather Analysis) layouts need to be updated with the newer version of ISWA.

The relationship between lower extremity muscle activity and knee flexion angle during a jump-landing task
Creators: name: Walsh, Meghan C.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2008

description: Objective: To determine relationships between lower extremity muscle activity and knee flexion angle during a jump-landing task. Subjects: Thirty recreationally active people free from previous ACL injury. Methods: Muscle activity of the lower extremity and knee flexion angle were recorded during 10 trials of the jump-landing task. Data was analyzed using correlation and multiple regression statistical analyses. Results: Eight significant negative relationships were found, VMO, GMAX activity and Q:H ratio with knee flexion angle at initial contact (VMO: r = -0.382, P = 0.045, GMAX: r = -0.385, P = 0.043, Q:H ratio: r = -.442, P = .018). VMO, VL, and GMAX activity with peak knee flexion angle (VMO: r = -0.687, P =0.00, VL: r = -0.467, P = .011, GMAX: r = -0.386, P = 0.043). VMO and VL activity with knee flexion displacement (VMO: r = -0.631, P= 0.00, VL: r = -0.453, P = 0.014). Q:H ratio and GMAX activity predicted 34.7% of knee flexion angle variance at initial contact (R2= 0.347, P =
Development of an optical imaging platform for assessment of tooth color and whiteness

description: The two most common devices to measure tooth color in dental applications are shade guides (a visual comparison) and colorimeters (a quantitative comparison). Shade guides are subjective, difficult to convert into a useful digital file type, and metrics cannot be easily converted to a standard color scale to quantify whiteness. Colorimeters can provide quantitative color measurements, but usually only at a single location on a sample. Digital color cameras offer the potential to achieve quantification of sample color mapped across an entire field of view but typically provide only three overlapping red / green / blue spectral channels. This project aims to create an optical imaging system using a new polarization-sensitive color camera to perform color and whiteness index measurements using the CIELAB color space. Values obtained from the camera setup were compared to measurements obtained from a commercial colorimeter (Optishade). The system was calibrated and validated using standard test objects (ColorChecker CG1 and VITA teeth), then tested using six bovine teeth which underwent staining and whitening. After the bovine teeth were stained by immersion in coffee, there was a mean decrease in whiteness of 3.80% and mean change in L*a*b* color of 3.16% (n = 6). After whitening with a 30% hydrogen peroxide solution, there was a mean increase in whiteness of 5.98% and mean change in L*a*b* color of 4.30%, relative to tooth color after the staining experiment. The polarization camera system gave a mean relative error of 4.91% in L* value, 30.95% in a* value, and 8.21% in b* value when comparing the staining experiment results to the Optishade values. The polarization camera system gave mean relative errors of 7.57% in L* value, 20.37% in a* value, and 6.67% in b* value when comparing the post-whitening color to the Optishade values. In summary, the methods developed in this project provide a foundation for using a new polarization-sensitive color camera for quantitative spatial mapping of tooth color and whiteness. Future studies may focus on decreasing errors in the measured L*a*b* values and using the camera’s different polarization images, which can carry information about light returning from superficial and deep layers of the tooth.
Timing of Orthodontic Tooth Movement in Bone Defects Repaired with Synthetic Scaffolds: A Scoping Review of Animal Studies

description: The optimal timing of orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) could allow earlier tooth movements across alveolar bone defects while minimizing the adverse effects. Despite the tremendous amount of published articles focusing on novel biomaterials, the graft stability and their effects on defect regeneration, there is a lack of good evidence with regards to the functional outcomes, such as OTM. Hence, this scoping review primarily aims to review the animal model studies that investigated the timing of OTM across the alveolar defects augmented with synthetic bone scaffolds. Additionally, this work also provides suggestions on optimizing the pre-clinical models in the hope of translating the data for clinical applications in the future.

description: Background: Mercury and its compounds are priority toxic substances. Ireland reports mercury emissions to atmosphere as a party to the UN Convention on Long Range Transboundary Air Pollution using conversion factors based on economic activity (Environmental Protection Agency, 2021a). The conversion factors are no longer relevant to current waste management practices. The Minamata Convention and preceding EU Directives on Eco-Design have reduced the mercury content of products. However, an environmental threat remains in the case of historic equipment and exempted product categories. Aim: This paper scopes and ranks key categories of mercury-added products (MAPs) in the Irish built environment. Methodology: Put on market, waste collected, waste characterisation and data on MAPs in scrap metal collection were analysed. The rate of mercury lost per annum based on these data was calculated. The UN Mercury Inventory Toolkit was employed to identify additional MAPs and grey data were reviewed to scope and priority rank MAPs in the Irish built environment. Findings: Upwards of 18kg of mercury was lost to the environment due to leakage of waste electronics and mercury containing lamps from home maintenance and renovation to general and scrap metal waste streams. The quantity of MAP lighting in building stock is greatly underestimated. Professional lighting installation as part of governmental energy efficiency retrofits caused a stock increase that may not fully be reflected in the put-on-market data available to policy makers. Conclusions & Implications: Contamination of materials prior to treatment needs consideration to realise elements of the circular economy. Exempted MAP stocks in the built environment are currently unknown. Empirical studies are required to quantify these and target safe handling.
