Year: 2024
Subjects: subject: 300 Sozialwissenschaften

description: In Deutschland sterben jährlich rund 20.000 Kinder und Jugendliche, viele davon hinterlassen Geschwister, die oft unauffällig trauern und wenig Aufmerksamkeit erhalten. Diese Bachelor-Thesis untersucht die Trauererlebnisse von verwaisten Geschwisterkindern, die in der Literatur und Forschung nur unzureichend behandelt werden. Der Verlust eines Geschwisterkindes ist für Kinder ein bedeutender und unersetzlicher Verlust, der tiefgreifende Auswirkungen auf ihre emotionale und psychische Gesundheit haben kann. Die Arbeit zielt darauf ab, die spezifischen Trauersymptome und -prozesse von Geschwisterkindern zu identifizieren und die Notwendigkeit einer gezielten heilpädagogischen Begleitung aufzuzeigen. Ziel der Arbeit besteht in der Entwicklung eines heilpädagogischen Handlungkonzepts zur Unterstützung verwaister Geschwisterkinder in ihrem Trauerprozess. Hierbei wird ein praxisorientierter Ansatz vorgestellt, der es Fachkräften ermöglicht, die Profession Heilpädagogik effektiv in der Trauerbegleitung einzusetzen.

description: An increasing number of migrants are living in a state of indefinite ‘transit’. In this paper, we report on interviews conducted in 2009 with 59 refugees and asylum seekers in Indonesia and describe how these individuals make a life despite their circumstances. While all participants were deeply affected by their position of uncertainty and insecurity, most sought to transcend these conditions and pursue significant life projects such as getting married, having children, becoming part of the local community, and working towards a better future. The current conceptualisation of transit as life in limbo does not wholly account for such permanent, life-changing experiences. We analyse the reasons why the use of the term ‘transit’ persists in international policy settings despite its incongruities, arguing that its ongoing political valence overrides its conceptual flaws.

description: The Organización Mapuche Consejo de Todas las Tierras represents more than three hundred Mapuche communities living in their ancient territories in Araucanía region of Chile. Mapuche peoples are known for being deeply attached to the earth and natural environments, they have unique culture, language and strong customary laws.  Mapuche communities have followed ancestral practices of domestication and cultivation of various crops and their respective varieties to achieve food security, including potatoes, wheat, legumes, lentils, tomatoes, peppers and beans, among others. They continue to cultivate these crops despite the increasing presence of agro-industry in the region. Mapuche communities have no major obstacles for the cultivation and use of seeds in the communities; for example, there are no restrictions to the exchange of seeds between Mapuche families. However, there is currently no national or local legislation on the role of peasants in the dynamic management of biodiversity; no recognition of traditional knowledge and practices; and no differentiation between ‘formal’ and ‘informal’ seeds. While the absence of a legal framework has not prevented Mapuche communities from carrying out crop conservation activities based on Mapuche customary laws, it exposes seeds for traditional use to risks of genetic contamination and misappropriation.

description: PARAGOS-PILIPINAS is a civil society organization engaging in education and awareness campaigns on land rights and sustainable agriculture practices, often in partnership with other NGOs. In 2018, a study was conducted with the aim to assess the level of implementation of Article 9 of the ITPGRFA in the Philippines and to support farmers in their role as seed developers. A number of policies and laws were found to be relevant, including laws targeting the seed industry, phytosanitary regulations, organic farming as well as rights of women and indigenous peoples. Farmers are recognized as seed growers but are not dynamically supported in their role as biodiversity managers; relevant legal provisions view farmers as mere beneficiaries. There are no limitations for farmers in the Philippines to save, use, exchange and sell seed, but the government policies endorse mainly certified seeds, so that farmers’ seed production and exchange tends to be discouraged. Community Intellectual Property Rights, including for seeds, genetic resources and related traditional knowledge, are legally recognized through several provisions of the Indigenous People’s Rights Act (IPRA), 1997. Lessons learned include that the links between land rights and peasants’ and indigenous communities’ rights to seeds and genetic resources would deserve more attention.

Basin Amplification Effects on Structures: Bridge Fragility Subjected to Subduction Earthquakes
Creators: name: Parla, Rajesh
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The sedimentary basins are regions of the earth’s crust that consist of thick multiple layers of sedimentary soil deposits. With the availability of fresh water and flat terrain for ease of infrastructure, the sedimentary basins have become home the dense urbanization. Most of the densely populated cities like Mexico, Seattle, and Kathmandu located directly on basins. Due to the impedance contrast between basin and bedrock materials, these sedimentary basins often amplifies the seismic waves. One of the classic examples is 1985 the Michoachan earthquake where the Mexico City located at 350 km from the epicentre, suffered significant damage. It is also evident that the densely populated basins are in the vicinity of seismically active fault regions such as Cascadia subduction zone and Himalayan fault zone. Since the sedimentary basins often lead to amplification of the seismic ground motion, which eventually increases the consequences of earthquakes on civil infrastructure, the investigation of the basin amplification is one of the major concern issues for seismologists and earthquake engineers.

description: Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations are the molecular driver of a subset of non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLC); tumors that harbor these mutations are often dependent on sustained oncogene signaling for survival, a concept known as “oncogene addiction”. Inhibiting EGFR with tyrosine kinase inhibitors has improved clinical outcomes for patients; however, successive generations of inhibitors have failed to prevent the eventual emergence of resistance to targeted agents. Although these tumors have a well-established dependency on EGFR signaling, there remain questions about the underlying genetic mechanisms necessary for EGFR-driven oncogenesis and the factors that allow tumor cells to escape EGFR dependence. In this review, we highlight the latest findings on mutant EGFR dependencies, co-operative drivers, and molecular mechanisms that underlie sensitivity to EGFR inhibitors. Additionally, we offer perspective on how these discoveries may inform novel combination therapies tailored to EGFR mutant NSCLC.

description: We study the role of the equilibrium equation in bootstrapped Newtonian gravity (BNG) by including terms inspired by the post-Newtonian expansion of the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkov (TOV) equation. We then compare (approximate) BNG solutions for homogenous stars with their Newtonian and General Relativistic exact solutions. Regardless of the additional terms from the conservation equation, BNG stars do not exhibit a Buchdahl limit. However, specific extra terms added to this equation can cause the pressure to become negative inside stars with compactness smaller than the critical values for BNG black hole formation.

description: The National Agricultural Research Center of Jordan, together with the International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA), implemented an applied research project from 2011 to 2015 to increase wheat production, enhance farmers’ income and contribute to food security. The project took an integrated approach, which included large-scale distribution and testing of high-yielding wheat varieties, farmer-based seed production to make seeds of preferred varieties available to farmers, as well as promotion of integrated agricultural practices and conservation agriculture systems for sustainable wheat production and increased profitability. The project established Farmer Field Schools to enhance farmers’ learning and awareness. It facilitated adoption of the ‘full package’ of innovative practices. More than 600 tons of seed was produced, of which the majority was used for subsequent sowing due to proven adaptability and good quality of the seed. Conservation agriculture systems were consistently more productive than conventional agriculture due to improved soil moisture conservation. Altogether, the proposed measure/practice of conducting applied integrated research in combination with Farmer Field Schools increased yields, farmers’ income and status and contributed to more varietal diversity in farmers’ fields.

description: The International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT), in collaboration with the Department of Agriculture Farmers’ Empowerment, Government of Odisha, India, conducted activities for the promotion and adoption of new and improved chickpea cultivars in three districts (Keonjhar, Mayurbhanj and Sundargarh) of Odisha state from 2014 to 2017. The objective was to identify and promote farmer-preferred chickpea varieties. Core components were farmer-participatory variety selection (FPVS) trials, through which farmers were exposed to seeing the performance of improved and diverse cultivars, including early maturing, drought tolerant, high yielding and wilt resistant cultivars. Fifty-two FPVS trials were conducted in different villages of the target districts, each trial included 5-6 cultivars; 668 men and 261 women farmers participated in the activities. Farmer-preferred chickpea varieties spread quickly among the farming community and showed high rates of adoption. These trials enhanced farmers’ awareness of newly available varieties and improved production technologies among farmers. Key lessons learned include that the low availability of improved seeds is one of the challenges face by farmers, and there is a need to strengthen seed systems, to enhance farmers’ access to their preferred varieties.

description: Objective: Handheld dynamometers are common tools for assessing/monitoring muscular strength and endurance. Health/fitness Bluetooth load sensors may provide a cost-effective alternative; however, research is needed to evaluate the validity and reliability of such devices. This study assessed the validity and reliability of two commercially available Bluetooth load sensors (Activ5 by Activbody and Progressor by Tindeq). Methods: Four tests were conducted on each device: stepped loading, stress relaxation, simulated exercise, and hysteresis. Each test type was repeated three times using the Instron ElectroPuls mechanical testing device (a gold-standard system). Test–retest reliability was assessed through intraclass correlations. Agreement with the gold standard was assessed with Pearson’s correlation, interclass correlation, and Lin’s concordance correlation. Results: The Activ5 and Progressor had excellent test–retest reliability across all four tests (ICC(3,1) ≥ 0.999, all p ≤ 0.001). Agreement with the gold standard was excellent for both the Activ5 (ρ ≥ 0.998, ICC(3,1) ≥ 0.971, ρc ≥ 0.971, all p’s ≤ 0.001) and Progressor (ρ ≥ 0.999, ICC(3,1) ≥ 0.999, ρc ≥ 0.999, all p’s ≤ 0.001). Measurement error increased for both devices as applied load increased. Conclusion: Excellent test–retest reliability was found, suggesting that both devices can be used in a clinical setting to measure patient progress over time; however, the Activ5 consistently had poorer agreement with the gold standard (particularly at higher loads).

Subjects: subject: AGROVOC: Income generation

description: Since 2011, the PROINPA foundation, with support of the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) and Bioversity International, has started supporting peasant communities in Bolivia, including in the ‘Puna de Colomi’, where peasant groups are interested in improving their seed production systems. The objective was to supply native potato varieties not only locally, but also to other potato producing areas. Key activities are (1) to organize seed producers and officially register them in the national directory of seed producers; (2) in a participatory manner, to characterize, identify and produce the most promising native potato varieties, for marketing and for consumption; and (3) to enhance the capacities and skills of farmers (both seed producers and others) for the production of high-quality native potato crops under the harsh conditions of the Puna de Colomi. Lessons learned include that seed production by farmers can contribute to their income generation as well as increase the choices and diversity of varieties available in their seed markets; in the face of a rigid political and legal seed production regime, farmers' organizations were able to organize their own seed production and quality control systems.

Publisher: name: ITPGRFA
Year: 2025
Subjects: subject: AGROVOC: Income generation

description: The Federal Government of Nigeria has put in place policies to reduce rice imports and increase domestic production. To be successful, this policy must be accompanied by investments in the local rice sector, including through research and innovation. Main objectives of the current research are to increase the productivity and competitiveness of the rice value chain in Nigeria through implementation of an innovation systems model. AfricaRice and its national partners have started implementing the rice value chain development component in the Middle Rima Valley Irrigation Scheme (MRVIS) in Goronyo, Sokoto State of Nigeria, since 2018. Key components include creating linkages between rice value-chain actors; understanding strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of the rice economy in MRVIS; identification of 1-2 high-yielding, processor- and consumer-preferred rice varieties; and installation of a rice-processing facility for the Goronyo Rice Innovation Platform (GRIP) that will help develop quality products and services for the market. Expected outcomes include increased productivity and quality of paddy rice in the target area and training of youth groups to become part of the innovation platform by providing services around the use of innovative technologies. Furthermore, rice husks will be used as fuel for household cooking.

Recycling and Recovery of Metals from End-of-Life Electric Vehicle Components (Lithium-ion Batteries and Rare Earth Permanent Magnets)
Creators: name: Nababan, Deddy Chandra
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: In recent years, the demand for electric vehicles (EVs) has significantly increased to support decarbonisation in the transportation sector. However, the increase in EVs uptake will result in a high generation of EVs components waste. The disposal of these wastes into landfills is not the solution as they have the potential to negatively impact human life and environment. Recycling is vital as one of the strategic solutions. It is also to conserve natural resources on earth. This thesis attempts to recycle and recover valuable metals from two EOL EV components, namely rare earth permanent magnets (REPM) and lithium-ion batteries (LIBs).

description: The characterization of cassava landraces in the region of Pasco, Peru, was initiated in 2017 by a consortium coordinated by the International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT), including the Instituto Nacional de Innovación Agraria (INIA), National University Daniel Alcides Carrión (UNDAC), the civil society organization Instituto del Bien Común (IBC) and an organization representing the indigenous Yanesha peoples, the Federación de Comunidades Nativas Yaneshas  (FECONAYA). Objectives entail the documentation of Yanesha cassava agrobiodiversity, including  associated practices and traditions; to compare these with historic measures (based on previous studies); to assess patterns of conservation, management, and loss; to generate locally-appropriate educational materials, including varietal catalogues; to communicate results to local peoples; and ultimately to empower the Yanesha peoples. Core components include the systematic documentation of existing landrace diversity in cassava-producing Yanesha communities by conducting household surveys, participatory GIS cartography and field sampling, phenological and morphological documentation, plant photography and ethnobotanical inquiries, combined with genetic fingerprinting studies. These data provide a robust analysis of cassava diversity and conservation trends, both spatially and temporally. In addition, locally appropriate catalogues and communication materials give local people insight into their varietal diversity, risk of loss, and management options.

description: In 2010, the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT), in collaboration with seed companies, launched the International Maize Improvement Consortium – Asia (IMIC-Asia), a consortium of organizations engaged in maize research, breeding, hybrid production, seed sales and marketing in South and Southeast Asia. Objectives included (1) developing and testing inbred and hybrid maize with abiotic and biotic stress tolerance and high yield potential based on needs and priorities identified by consortium members; (2) improving maize productivity and livelihoods of farmers in rain-fed farming areas that have not yet benefited from improved and adapted seeds; and (3) developing capacities of breeders and technical personnel of consortium members in modern maize breeding and breeding informatics. Core component is the establishment of a consortium of small- and medium-size enterprises and research organizations in which all partners contribute to building capacities and technical expertise in maize breeding. Together, they established a strong collaborative testing network for identifying promising pre-release products for further evaluation at the national or state level as a part of the varietal release process. CIMMYT hybrid combinations are in the process of being allocated to interested members for commercialization and deployment to farmers.
Wearable Technology to Increase Self-Awareness of Low Back Pain: A Survey of Technology Needs among Health Care Workers
Creators: name: Ferrone, Andrea

Year: 2022

description: Low back pain (LBP) is a leading contributor to musculoskeletal injury worldwide and carries a high economic cost. The healthcare industry is the most burdened, with nurses, in particular, being highly prone to LBP. Wearable technologies have the potential to address the challenges of monitoring postures that contribute to LBP and increase self-awareness of workplace postures and movements. We aimed to gain insight into workers’ perceptions of LBP and whether they would consider using wearable monitoring technologies to reduce injury risks. We conducted a cross-sectional survey to gather information from a selected population of nurses. Sixty-four participants completed the survey, and data were analyzed with the support of Machine Learning techniques. Findings from this study indicate that the surveyed population (64 nurses) is interested in these new approaches to monitor movement and posture in the workplace. This technology can potentially change the way ergonomic guidelines are implemented in this population.
Simulating and understanding quantum processes using tensor networks

description: Simulation of quantum processes is essential to both furthering our understanding of the microscopic world and also in developing quantum technologies. For accuracy we must take into consideration the environment in which they take place. In this thesis we begin by introducing an existing method that utilises tensor networks to efficiently represent the time non-local evolution of the system induced by interaction with its environment. Previously reliant on a linear interaction and a Gaussian environment, it is presented with no assumptions made on the form of interaction or environment statistics. The versatility is then showcased by first simulating the dynamics of a system coupled to a structured environment before then considering a pair of spatially separated systems coupled to the same environment. Here we see that the separation can be tuned to screen the interaction with dominant modes in the environment. Moving beyond system dynamics we show how correlation functions can be efficiently calculated and used to infer the dynamics of the bath. This result is then applied to study the dynamics of heat exchange between a system and regions of the environment; in particular a time dependent drive is employed to move heat between specific regions as desired. Finally, we see how the dynamics of a dimer coupled to both photons and phonons can be exactly captured and its non-equilibrium steady state is explored in all coupling regimes. This required extending the method to be able to combine the memory effects from each environment. The occurrence of population inversion is confirmed at weak light-matter coupling and then shown to disappear as the coupling is increased before entering a regime characterised by quantum Zeno physics.

description: In 2018, the International Centre for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA) started implementing a project addressing gender relations in lentil production in Ethiopia, in cooperation with Agricultural Offices at district (Woreda) and community (Kebele) administrative levels and with funding from the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) Research Program on Grain Legumes and Dryland Cereals. Main objectives were to enhance understanding how gender inequality affects the capacity of women and men to build resilient livelihoods, and how to address gender-based constraints in agricultural research and extension work. Core components included exploring gender-related norms surrounding the division of roles in lentil production; farm-related decision making; access to lentil-based extension services; and innovations, particularly new varieties, in two major lentil-producing areas of Amhara and Oromiya, where rain-fed farming is dominant. Activities entailed quantitative and qualitative interviews and focus group discussions, followed by a validation and an awareness-raising process, which involved representatives of the above-mentioned administrative units as well as community leaders and lentil growers. In the course of this process, the research-findings were shared with the communities, considering Article 9 of the International Treaty and ICARDA’s obligations under the CGIAR Principles on the Management of Intellectual Assets.

Subjects: subject: AGROVOC: Access and benefit sharing

description: The project was implemented in April 2016 and targeted small scale farmers especially women in Gulu district with ten farmer groups with a membership of about  3250 farmers in 4 sub-counties. The project objectives were to: (1) provide a practical, harmonized and systematic approach for promoting community-led seed security among small scale farming communities, (2) generate experiences for strengthening the informal seed sector that can provide good quality seed of required characteristic for small scale farmers in Uganda, and (3) provide for an alternative source of income for the small scale farmers through the sale of surplus good quality declared seeds. The community seed security model looked at a practical, harmonised and systematic approach for promoting community-led seed security for small scale farmers as well as consolidating the technical capacity of small-scale farmers in reproduction saving and distributing good quality seed for improved food security. Key outcomes include the following: strengthened solidarity around protection and promotion of farmer-managed seed systems in the region; increased household seed security, increased farmers’ incomes as the sale of seeds have provided an alternative source of income for the small-scale farmers and increased political support for farmer-managed seed systems.

description: In 2014, the International Wheat and Maize Improvement Center (CIMMYT), in collaboration with the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) and with funding provided through the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) Research Program on Maize, started the implementation of the ‘Drought Tolerant Maize for Africa’ project, which will be continued under the ‘Stress Tolerant Maize for Africa’ project. The objective of the project is to improve food and economic security of Zimbabwean farmers by stabilizing and securing maize food security when drought strikes. Core components include development and dissemination of drought-tolerant (DT) maize varieties to farmers in Zimbabwe to improve maize yields and improve livelihood conditions. Key outcomes so far are improved maize yields (up to 40%) under severe drought conditions, providing smallholders in Zimbabwe an additional nine months of food at no additional cost. Key lessons learned include that Zimbabwean households that grew DT maize experienced a significant increase in total maize production; DT maize thus has the potential to improve food and economic security for many farmers.
Impact Measurement and Application of Conservation System (IMACS)
Creators: name: Dert, Vincent
Publisher: name: Zenodo

description: This article describes a system for the calculation of environmental (E) and human condition (H) impacts and sustainabilities for all products, services and individuals as a set of universally standardized methods, earlier published as a patent application (1). The overall system allows buyers to select more sustainable products and services, and allows end-user consumers to apply conservation rendering the product or service purchased free of damaging environ-human (EH) impacts. It includes EH impacts contributed by employees and other parts of the organization. The system carries EH impact variables through the supply chain as an extension of the price variables “currency” and “monetary amount”. Similar to the calculation and payment of prices and salaries, the system runs in real time and allows calculation of EH impacts at very low costs. The system has the potential to create very large amounts of funding for conservation, may prevent nature from being pushed past tipping points from which no return is possible (2) and potentially allows a relative fast return to pre-industrial environmental conditions, while improving human conditions and saving costs.

description: Starting in 2015, the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries (MAEP) and Service d’Appui à la Gestion de l’Environnement (SAGE) in Madagascar and the Institut National des Recherches Agricoles du Benin (INRAB) together with the NGO Cercle de Sauvegarde des Ressources Naturelles (CeSaReN) for Benin, with support of Bioversity International and the Darwin Initiative, implemented a project to facilitate the mutually supportive implementation of the ITPGRFA and Nagoya Protocol. The ABS Capacity Development Initiative, the Secretariats of the Convention on Biological Diversity and the ITPGRFA; the African Union Commission and the regional NGO Natural Justice were also involved as partners. At the national level, the focus was on creating and adopting legal instruments. At the local level, communities were supported to create Community Biodiversity Registries as a useful tool to identify, document and monitor the existing biodiversity in their surroundings, along with associated traditional knowledge; Biocultural Community Protocols were then developed to enable local communities to take advantage of their countries’ commitments under both the ITPGRFA and the Nagoya Protocol by establishing mechanisms to regulate access to genetic resources in their territories and to establish the terms and conditions for access to and use of their traditional knowledge and resources.
