description: Drug repurposing is an attractive strategy for extending the arsenal of oncology therapies. Tolperisone is an old centrally acting muscle relaxant used for treatment of chronic pain conditions. In this study, we investigated the therapeutic effect and mechanism of tolperisone in human cancers and explored the combination strategy with proteasome inhibitor and immunotherapy. The antitumor effect of tolperisone was evaluated by measuring half maximal inhibitory concentration, cell death, and cell growth. RNA sequencing, western blotting, molecular docking, enzyme activity assay, and ChIP-qPCR were performed to reveal the underlying mechanism. Xenograft models were used to evaluate the efficacy of tolperisone alone or in combination with proteasome inhibitor or immunotherapy. Tolperisone inhibited cell growth and induced cell death in human cancer cell lines. Unfolded protein responses (UPR) pathway was hyperactivated in tolperisone-treated cells. We further identified histone lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1) as a potential target of tolperisone, which directly demethylates UPR-related genes in H3K4me2. Tolperisone synergistically improved the efficacy of MG132 by enhancing UPR and sensitized tumors to immunotherapy by reprogramming M2 macrophages into M1 phenotype. Tolperisone inhibits human cancer by targeting LSD1. Repurposing tolperisone in cancer therapy by a combination strategy implies clinical potential.
No longer Dazai : the re-authoring and "character-ification" of literary celebrity in contemporary Japanese popular culture
Creators: name: Laturnas, Jaylene
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Dazai Osamu (1909–1948) is a celebrated Japanese author who is most known for his postwar novels of despair and decadence, such as The Setting Sun (1947) and No Longer Human (1948). He is recognized as one of the literary greats by the academy and his work has been praised by scholars and critics. However, his star image also has a familiar presence in mass culture and his texts have been labelled as popular literature for anomic youth who are struggling to define themselves. While Dazai’s place in canonical literature is well established, I argue that it is Dazai’s multi-faceted, mutable image as a decadent anomic figure that has been mobilized by popular culture networks to expand his star text, adapt it to new mediums, and generate interest among youths in the historical “original.” I first contextualize Dazai’s literary celebrity in his historical moment of early twentieth-century Japan to highlight how the author self-fashioned himself as a social outcast vis-à-vis the literary establishment, and how the details of his life and death have been “re-authored” by publishers and readers to intensify his image as an anomic figure. Specifically, I engage in paratextual analysis to see how reprints of No Longer Human emphasize narratives of autobiography, suicide, and youth literature; and how this, in turn, has led to Dazai’s star text becoming synonymous with the novel and its protagonist, Ōba Yōzō. Then, through a close reading of the multimedia series Bungō Stray Dogs (2013–) and Bungō and Alchemist (2016–), I explore how Dazai’s “character-ification” has embodied the author’s abstract image in the collective imagination and brought it into in the world of manga, anime, and video games. Because the author-characters are constructed from biographical details with new elements added on top, there is still room for audiences to translate the semiotic signs assigned to each character. This has made Dazai visually “knowable” to audiences and encouraged many fans to seek out the original author. In this fashion, popular culture adaptations of literary star texts have played a significant role in revitalizing youth interest in modern Japanese literature and its authors.

Insights from infinitely wide neural networks
Creators: name: Mohamadi, Mohamad Amin
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Studying neural networks in the limit of infinite-width has provided us with numerous valuable theoretical and practical insights about the initialization of NNs, their training dynamics and properties of the learnt functions. One of the theoretical tools emerged from this study is the empirical Neural Tangent Kernel (eNTK). The eNTK can provide a good understanding of a given network’s representation: they are often far less expensive to compute and applicable more broadly than infinite-width NTKs. In this work, we use eNTKs to predict the local dynamics of neural networks in an active learning setup to propose a new method for approximating active learning acquisition strategies that are based on retraining with hypothetically-labeled candidate data points. Furthermore, to tackle the notorious space and computational complexity of calculating eNTKs, we propose a fast approximation of eNTK using a block-diagonal kernel resulting from eNTK with respect to only one (or average) of the output neurons of a network. We further use this approximation in our proposed “look-ahead” strategies in deep active learning. We finally present empirical evidence that our querying strategy beats other look-ahead strategies by large margins, and achieves equal or better performance compared to state-of-the-art methods on several benchmark datasets in pool-based active learning.

To pledge or not to pledge that is the question: carbon literacy training and international post-graduate students
Creators: name: Sutcliffe, Mark

Publisher: name: Cardiff Metropolitan University
Year: 2023
Subjects: Higher education

description: This research project is part of a more comprehensive study that seeks to identify and improve upon the effectiveness of carbon literacy training for student cohorts. It sets out to better understand which students pledge at the end of the training process, and which do not, and the variety of reasons that might be identified to explain this difference. Can pledgers and non-pledgers be grouped together, or do they need to be classified into distinct sub-groups, with distinct motivations? What can be done to increase the PCR? Do distinct pledging (non-pledging) sub-groups require focused and targeted carbon literacy training? Is non-pledging simply a wider issue of academic (non) engagement, or does it extend further into a lack of environmental awareness and concern, or both?
Businesses and Society – The UN Sustainable Development Goals - Exploring their relevance and application. The role of tidal range energy in helping to meet the SDGs
Creators: name: Morgan, Brian
Publisher: name: Cardiff Metropolitan University
Year: 2023
Subjects: Electrical energy transmission, networks and systems

description: Perhaps it first needs to be emphasised that the UN SDGs are not only relevant for less developed countries. They are also relevant for developed countries – especially where environmental challenges and energy security are driving the need for investment in renewable energy. Secondly, although the interests of business and society should coincide in relation to the UN SDGs this is not often the case. For example, whereas citizens see many of the SD goals as self-evident and very relevant to their lives, businesses have different objectives and often don’t see a market opportunity. As a consequence, businesses are likely to cherry pick those SDGs that offer an economic opportunity for them to drive growth and increase their market share. Indeed, one of the few SDGs that both business and society strongly identify with is SDG 13 (Climate action).

Livoneca emarginata Bleeker, 1857, by monotypy (Schioedte and Meinert 1884). Remarks. Diagnostic characters for Elthusa include a weakly vaulted body; pleonite 1 as wide as or slightly narrower than pleonite 2; posterior margin of cephalon not trilobed; wide pleon; antennula shorter than antenna, bases not in contact (varying from close together to wide apart); and pleopods all simple, lamellar. A revised diagnosis of the genus was provided by Bruce (1990) as well as Trilles and Randall (2011). Elthusa can be regarded as one of the most morphologically varied cymothoid genera, with many Elthusa species still requiring detailed study and redescription. The antennula position (being close together or far apart), shape of the cephalon anterior margin, as well as the width of the pleon and pleonite 5 are some of the varying characters noted within species of this genus (Bruce 1990). This variation can cause confusion in genus identifications and may lead to incorrect species placement if not taken into account with all of the other genus characters.

description: After the implementation of the T-MEC, the Mexican agricultural sector has played a fundamental role in the world by increasing its exports by 15% during 2022 compared to 2021, while imports grew 19% in the same period. Despite the war between Russia and Ukraine, which caused the rise in prices of some food products, during the first half of 2022, the Mexican agri-food sector exported 27 645k million USD. Despite this growth, the sector is facing several challenges. For example, The most important challenge that Mexican producers face is adapting their products to the demand of the different global markets and the search for growing niches such as the organic, kosher and halal markets. Other important challenges are related to migration, import substitution strategies, insecurity, poverty and inequality, as well as agri-food governance and the lack of qualified personnel for precision agriculture and the development of the country's own technology in combination with the knowledge and traditional knowledge for optimal use of resources; while the prolonged droughts related to climate change, the rise in the prices of fertilizers controlled by large corporations; as well as the lack of subsidies to agricultural activities aggravate the situation of the sector.

Between Promise and Ecstasy: Hope as a Subject of an Engaged Theology
Creators: name: Von Sass, Hartmut
Publisher: name: Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin
Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: 230 Christentum

description: This article outlines a socially-engaged theology that retrieves hope as an essential theological concept. The argument focuses not so much on the specific orientation that a socially engaged theology might take, but more on its motives. Here two notions of hope need to be distinguished: the hope that is future-oriented (hoping that . . .) and the act of hoping as a mode of being in the world (to live in hope or hopefully). The first type of hope is derivative of the second, which means that the act of hoping acquires a hermeneutical privilege over the hope directed to the future. Furthermore, the distinction between ‘hoping that . . .’ and ‘living in hope’ highlights the difference between—with St. Paul—the old person and the new person who understands everything in a new light. This difference is articulated in terms of a productive dissatisfaction rooted in a life lived by faith by hope. Hope thereby turns faith into an ecstatic stance. It is this ecstasy endowed by hope that joins faith—and theology as faith’s companion—to dedicated engagement with the world.

"Protect the children, save the family" - 'gender ideology' in the classroom : a case study of moral panic in Brazil
Creators: name: Da Silva Pereira, Renato
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Since the start of the 21st century, Brazil has seen its political and discursive arenas being taken over by debates and controversies over the expansion of civil rights for LGBT+ citizens and government initiatives to combat systemic homophobia across the country, including its school system. These moments have become more frequent in the current scenario of rising religious (ultra)conservatism(s) and increased battling of moralities around gender and sexual orientation issues. Many (ultra)conservative politicians and religious leaders have continuously spread the alarming notion that Brazilian children and adolescents are in great danger and need to be legally protected against moral corruption, unnatural sexualities, and indoctrination into ‘gender ideology,’ turning the Brazilian education system into an ongoing ideological battlefield. For this thesis, I chose the format of a case study to analyze the discourses present in 12 federal bills that were proposed by (ultra)conservative legislators in the National Congress of Brazil from 2015 to 2022. My goal is to examine the language, concepts, ontological premises, and discursive strategies utilized in those documents. All those bills were introduced with the aim of protecting school children and adolescents against the so-called ‘gender ideology,’ which the fundamentalist and (ultra)conservative voices perceive to be a true menace to the existent traditional heterosexual institution in the country and, in their view, the very existence of Brazilian society.

description: The purpose of this document is to enable facility operators to modularize their services. The first version of this document was created by a cross-cutting taskforce, which was operational from December 2020 to March 2021. The taskforce outcome will be first applied in TNA4 projects. Eventually, these guidelines will be part of how IBISBA operates. When these guidelines are applied in TNA4 projects, the services to be modularized are the infrastructure accesses that compose the project. The current goal is a minimum - a good starting point that can later be improved. It has already been identified in several subtopics that the current minimum will not be good enough in the future (e.g. within 3-5 years). Some changes/adjustments are likely to be needed before TNA5. Stricter requirements are expected in future versions because the ultimate goal is to offer seamless multi-facility services via the IBISBA legal entity.

Exploration, experience and the creation of audiovisual artworks of a mountain
Creators: name: Blom, Tine
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London
Year: 2019

description: The research site is the mountain area along Tvergasteinstjørnet in Hallingskarvet mountain range in Norway. The mountain has been made by the processes of seasons, weather, geology and species and is in permanent transition. The research aim is to explore, experience and artistically articulate the mountain. This includes the experience of ecological awareness or the sense of being embedded, being part of and being vulnerable.

I have developed and artistically articulated an embodied, sensuous and affective relationship to the mountain over a period of several years. The methodology is practice research and autoethnography, and the methods are wandering, place-making and writing fieldwork diaries. Field recording and art production are both research themes and research methods.

The portfolio is a series of experiments with art forms and techniques. I compare them with a selection of artworks of other artists. The art forms are visual art, soundscape composition, audio documentary, multimedia and video. The techniques are the various perspectives of and relationships between visuals, sounds, voice and text.

I discuss whether or how the artworks convey nature in sensory textured ways, whether or how they articulate embodied experiences and whether the artists are present in the artworks. Finally, I discuss what it takes for such artworks to articulate ecological awareness.

The research is interdisciplinary, with approaches from philosophy, natural sciences, social science, visual arts and sound studies. I draw on Whitehead, Merleau-Ponty, Næss, Ingold, Böhme, Murray Schafer, Westerkamp and others.

The research outcome is that the connections and discrepancy between the embodied memories and recordings are the most important source for creation of the artworks. However, the particular here-and-now experiences on the mountain cannot be mediated. Ecological awareness implies a relationship between nature and humans, and therefore the presence of humans should be indicated in the artwork, or the audience should be able to imagine such presence.

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Simulation der Mikrostrukturvergröberung in der Nickellegierung IN718. Ihre vorteilhaften mechanischen Eigenschaften erhält die Legierung zu einem großen Teil durch die Ausscheidung der tetragonalen intermetallischen γ″-Phase. Zur physikalischen Beschreibung der Mikrostrukturentwicklung wird die neuartige anisotrope Sharp Phase-Field Methode (SPFM) für translationsinvariante Grenzflächen verwendet, welche den Rechenaufwand um mehr als zwei Größenordnungen vermindert. Neben der Grenzflächenenergie geht auch die elastische Energie durch die Gitterfehlpassung zwischen Ausscheidung und Matrix in das Modell ein. In tetragonaler Richtung ist die Fehlpassung um etwa einen Faktor 25 größer als in den beiden anderen Gitterrichtungen. Außerdem wird die phasenabhängige anisotrope Elastizität berücksichtigt. Bei einem realistischen γ″-Volumenanteil spielen elastische Wechselwirkungen zwischen den Ausscheidungen eine entscheidende Rolle. In Simulationsstudien konnte gezeigt werden, dass das Aspektverhältnis der Ausscheidungen mit zunehmendem Phasenanteil steigt, und, dass gleichzeitig die Rundheit der Ausscheidungsformen abnimmt. Es wurde außerdem erstmalig gezeigt, dass die experimentell beobachtete schräge Anordnung der Ausscheidungen, die energetisch günstigste regelmäßige Anordnung von γ″-Ausscheidungen ist. Durch konsistente Anpassung der Grenzflächenenergiedichte an die experimentell beobachteten Ausscheidungsformen und an die Reifungskinetik, kann diese präzise bestimmt werden. Mit dem 3D Phasenfeldmodell kann die zeitabhängige Vergröberung der Mikrostruktur durch Ostwaldreifung quantitativ vorhergesagt werden. Die Temperaturabhängigkeit der Reifungskinetik und die Morphologie der Mikrostruktur werden korrekt vorhergesagt.

description: Academic studies in the field of tourism and hospitality continue to highlight technology as a vehicle to both simulate and enhance tourism experiences (Errichiello et al., 2019; Li et al., 2018; Scott et al., 2019; Tham et al., 2021). But while Tlili et al. (2021) explains that the integration of technologies in tourism has in many cases improved the tourism experience. Thirty-six million people are living with some form of sight loss (WHO, 2021) and age is commonly associated with declining vision (Age UK, 2022). Richards et al. (2021) note that smartphone apps alongside booking sites and information boards continue to come in inaccessible formats together with limited functionality for some users; meaning that the existing travel booking and mobility apps simply do not enable all people to live and travel independently (Khan and Khusro, 2021). This presents challenges for users who require support and assistance from smartphone and smartwatch devices (Chorfi et al., 2017). Besides the foundations of any tourism experience are permitting accessibility to destinations (Darcy, 2010), it is noted that inaccessible technologies limit both choices and enjoyment of travel for people with disabilities (Richards et al., 2021) and by extension older travellers who often face the same or similar accessibility challenges. Therefore, this submission will discuss the capabilities of travel apps and the need for such knowledge to be accessible.
Deviation from quantum diffraction universality and effects of interaction potential uncertainty on collision observables

description: Quantum Diffraction Universality (QDU) is a law that allows the experimental determination of the thermalized rate coefficient ⟨σₜₒₜv⟩ between an impinging gas and a nearly stationary sensor gas in high vacuum. QDU relies on the insensitivity of the rate coefficient to the short-range interaction potential for the collision partners. This law allows one to bypass time-intensive theoretical scattering calculations for ⟨σₜₒₜv⟩ and additionally leads to the determination of the impinging gas pressure. In this thesis, I describe two projects that further our understanding of QDU. First, I conduct coupled-channel quantum scattering calculations for the collision partners Li+H₂ and Rb+H₂. These calculations for ⟨σₜₒₜv⟩, in combination with experimental measurements, show that Rb+H₂ is a system that cannot be described by QDU. The reason is that Rb+H₂ has a light reduced mass and small C6 coefficient (which characterizes the long-range interaction potential). For these reasons, one can infer that Li+H₂ also deviates from Universality. In the second project, I modify the shortrange interaction potential of Rb+H₂ and analyze how the modifications lead to a change in ⟨σₜₒₜv⟩. Furthermore, I describe how machine learning – specifically Gaussian Process Regression – can be utilized to predict ⟨σₜₒₜv⟩ for different modulations of the short-range interaction potential. This analysis will give an estimate on the error arising from interaction potential uncertainty associated with ⟨σₜₒₜv⟩ for Rb+H₂. Additionally, it serves as a second demonstration of the non-Universal behaviour of the Rb+H₂ system.

description: Abstract: The machines operated in wood furniture factories generate a high level of noise. Therefore, wood furniture workers are exposed to machine-derived noise. The noise situation and the effects of noise are worthy of attention. This study was conducted in Rajshahi City to measure the noise levels in the selected wood furniture factories and evaluate the impact of noise on workers. A digital sound level meter was used to measure the noise level, and a total of 102 furniture workers were surveyed about their perceptions of noise effects. The findings show that 70% of noise levels exceeded the 85 dBA occupational standards, and the maximum noise level was recorded at 107.6 dBA. In terms of noise effects on conversation during work time, 52% of respondents treated the workplace as moderately noisy; whereas 55.9% experienced moderate communication interference; 32.4% had moderate disturbance in recreation activities during work. 70% workers had to raise voice sometime to overcome noise; most of them (76.5%) were not aware of the adverse effects of noise. One-third (34.3%) of the workers had headaches, one-six (16.6%) had digestion problems, and a mentionable amount (13.7%) had asthma symptoms. Workers hardly wear personal protective equipment (PPE) and hearing aids while working in wood furniture factories in Rajshahi City.

Subjects: Gender, policy and administration

description: The pandemic reinforced the moral and social justice case for diversity and inclusion (D&I) deepening the need for equality and fairness of opportunity (McKinsey, 2022). D&I should be an integral part of people resourcing which is about attracting and selecting the most suitable candidate for the job in accordance with organisational goals (Bratton et al., 2022). However, it is not always clear what makes a candidate ‘suitable’. There is potential for bias when making these decisions and evidence shows that marginalised groups face discrimination in recruitment (CIPD, 2022). Thus, recruitment often fails to result in an inclusive and diverse workforce (Pilbeam and Corbridge, 2006; Di Stasio and Heath, 2019).

Implementazione di tecniche evolute di indagine per la gestione di aspetti di Salute in ambienti lavorativi con sospetta presenza di materiali contenenti amianto

description: La presenza residuale di componenti critici (come i Materiali Contenenti Amianto - MCA) rappresenta ancora oggi una delle principali criticità per la Sicurezza e la Salute dei lavoratori e dei fruitori di molte strutture, tra cui le grandi strutture accessibili al pubblico. Il primo passo per una efficace Valutazione e Gestione del rischio è chiaramente una rigorosa definizione dei diversi approcci che occorre adottare, in conformità con le normative italiane generali e speciali di sicurezza e salute, a partire da scenari in cui l'assenza di MCA può essere dimostrata, e via via nelle varie condizioni in cui si presenta il Fattore di pericolo, da dormiente, ad armato, ad attivo. Un progetto di ricerca, incoraggiato sin dal 2008 dal Politecnico di Torino e dall'Università degli Studi di Torino, ha portato alla stesura di una Linea Guida per la sicurezza sul lavoro nelle Università e grandi strutture pubbliche, e delle sue sotto-fasi, messe a punto per fornire efficaci metodologie di approccio a varie criticità specifiche. Sia la Linea Guida, sia le sotto-parti sono state sistematicamente validate attraverso estesi test sul campo prima della approvazione e diffusione. Il presente lavoro riferisce sui risultati dell’applicazione, su casi reali, dell’approccio basato su metodiche di Ingegneria Forense (Canvassing), di uso generale ma particolarmente adatta alla problematica in oggetto, in combinazione con l'Analisi di Immagine, che mostrano un contributo efficace nella Valutazione del rischio e nella Gestione in qualità della sicurezza e salute. Tale approccio, inoltre, contribuisce in modo sostanziale alla transizione da metodiche ancora condizionate dal giudizio soggettivo di un osservatore umano, o dall’affidarsi a tecniche non sempre sufficientemente efficaci, verso metodi più coerenti con l'evoluzione dei sistemi produttivi fondati su controlli diretti e da remoto, con elevati livelli di digitalizzazione e automazione.

 In terms of scholarly productivity of professional librarians, some people may believe that the role of a librarian is confining to shelving and checking out books, processing information resources in the library, and providing information services to users. One of the most important factors that may help a librarian to succeed in his/ her professional life is to participate in scholarly communication and to be a librarian-author or a scholar-practitioner. It is important for librarians to be involved in publishing in order to support the scholarly communication process. This study aims to reveal the role of librarian as a as a researcher in LIS Discipline and the role of professional associations in supporting librarians in this context.
Simpler specifications for resource-manipulating programs
Creators: name: Grannan, Zachary
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Many program verifiers allow specifications to be written in terms of program states. The specification language of a program verifier is typically a superset of the source language, extended with additional constructs such as first-order quantifiers. This is a pragmatic choice because it allows the same language to be used for both implementation and specification. This kind of language is ideal for properties that can be easily expressed in terms of program expressions. However, programs that manipulate resources, such as money, are best described in terms of how they operate on resources rather than in terms of program state. This is because properties that are implicit when reasoning about resources must be made explicit in specifications written using program expressions. As a result, specifications of resource-manipulating programs tend to be complex, are difficult to compose, and are hard for non-experts to understand. In this thesis, we present a methodology for extending a modular program verifier to support resource reasoning in its specifications. Users can specify where resources are created and destroyed, and assert properties about the resource state. The verifier ensures that resource operations cannot fail, and that the asserted properties hold. Our methodology does not require first-class support for resources in the source language itself, and does not impose requirements on how resources are represented in the program. Instead, users can define coupling invariants to relate changes in the resource state to changes in the program state; these invariants are enforced by the verifier. Coupling invariants enable simpler specifications because they enable users to describe changes in program state in terms of resource operations. We implement our methodology as an extension to the Prusti program verifier. To evaluate our technique, we use our extended version of Prusti to verify properties of a real-world blockchain application. We show that, compared to a more-classical specification implemented without resource reasoning, our methodology enables more concise specifications.

description: This deliverable constitutes the first result produced by task T2.1 - Cross-fertilization Workshops organisation, in the context of the SwForum.eu project. The main objective of the task is to organize and deliver three workshops involving stakeholders from both academia, industry and the public sector, representing different domains and application sectors. The workshops are important events to facilitate synergy-ignition among R&D EC funded projects as well as a dissemination opportunity. Within the context of the initial 10 months of the project, taking advantage of the new way of holding meetings in the COVID era, we have modified our objectives and run two workshops instead of one. This has allowed us to reach our stakeholders early on (the first workshop being held in February). Moreover, it has allowed us to test two different approaches, one based on the invitation of well-known keynote speakers and the other approach more oriented to facilitate the discussion among participants.
