description: In this thesis, an examination of Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s prison writings as contained in Letters and Papers from Prison will be conducted to determine the impact of imprisonment on his theology. To identify this impact, two of Bonhoeffer’s works written before his imprisonment, Discipleship and Ethics, will be compared to his Letters and Papers from Prison, with particular attention paid to themes of liberation, justice, and practical theology. These themes have been considered significant to religious prison writings and will serve as the point of comparison between Bonhoeffer’s writings prior to and during his imprisonment. This thesis will argue that while these themes are not absent from Bonhoeffer’s work prior to his imprisonment, they take on a new significance and potency in Letters and Papers from Prison as a result of his imprisonment.

description: Introduction: The TROPHY registry has been established to conduct an international multicenter prospective data collection on the surgical management of neonatal intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH)-related hydrocephalus to possibly contribute to future guidelines. The registry allows comparing the techniques established to treat hydrocephalus, such as external ventricular drainage (EVD), ventricular access device (VAD), ventricular subgaleal shunt (VSGS), and neuroendoscopic lavage (NEL). This first status report of the registry presents the results of the standard of care survey of participating centers assessed upon online registration. Methods: On the standard of treatment forms, each center indicated the institutional protocol of interventions performed for neonatal post-hemorrhagic hydrocephalus (nPHH) for a time period of 2 years (Y1 and Y2) before starting the active participation in the registry. In addition, the amount of patients enrolled so far and allocated to a treatment approach are reported. Results: According to the standard of treatment forms completed by 56 registered centers, fewer EVDs (Y1 55% Y2 46%) were used while more centers have implemented NEL (Y1 39%; Y2 52%) to treat nPHH. VAD (Y1 66%; Y2 66%) and VSGS (Y1 42%; Y2 41%) were used at a consistent rate during the 2 years. The majority of the centers used at least two different techniques to treat nPHH (43%), while 27% used only one technique, 21% used three, and 7% used even four different techniques. Patient data of 110 infants treated surgically between 9/2018 and 2/2021 (13% EVD, 15% VAD, 30% VSGS, and 43% NEL) were contributed by 29 centers. Conclusions: Our results emphasize the varying strategies used for the treatment of nPHH. The international TROPHY registry has entered into a phase of growing patient recruitment. Further evaluation will be performed and published according to the registry protocol.

description: Background: The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus type 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic presented unprecedented challenges to both inpatient and outpatient care. In order to maintain good care under necessary contact restrictions, especially in the outpatient sector, the use of telemedical applications was demanded and promoted. The exploratory survey among members of the Association of German Allergists (AeDA) was intended to show how these were received among allergists in private practice. Methods: The survey was restricted to actively practising members of the AeDA who had previously given their consent to receive such surveys (n = 437). They were invited by email to participate in a survey on the topic of "Telemedicine in everyday clinical practice in allergology". The survey included quantitative and qualitative questions on the use of telemedicine services before and during the pandemic and was conducted anonymously on the SoSci Survey platform. Participation was possible in the period from June to August 2020. Results: In all, 76 specialists with additional qualification in allergology took part in the survey. Of these, 71 completed the full questionnaire. Before the start of the pandemic-related contact restrictions, 46.5% (33/71) stated that they had used telemedicine in their clinical practice. This number increased to 73.2% (52/71) after 31 January 2020. The largest increase (4.3% vs. 15.6%) was seen in the area of video consultations. Furthermore, 43/76 participants can imagine integrating telemedicine services into their daily clinical routine in the future. Conclusion: The use of telemedical services, especially video consultations, increased significantly during the SARS-CoV‑2 pandemic in Germany. The majority of respondents perceive the implementation as positive and can imagine continuing to use telemedical methods after the end of the pandemic.

description: It has long been recognised that a key element in improving student transition, retention and success in higher education is cross-institutional consistency and unity of action among disparate academic, policy and support units. However, transferring this principle into practice often requires overcoming departmental silos, negotiating shared understandings of key concepts, and establishing patterns of cross-institutional collaboration in spaces where this may have been lacking. This study examines the effect of a program of supported communities of practice among teaching academics that sought to improve the culture of learning and teaching in a large science, health and engineering faculty in an Australian university. We found indications that these communities of practice promoted collaboration by functioning as loci of cross-institutional consultation and coordination, providing the basis for an enhanced student experience. We interpret this finding through the lens of Bronfenbrenner’s ecological model of development, and propose an approach based on academic communities of practice as a way of building cross-institutional unity of action and making the student experience everybody’s business.

description: Objective: Sagittal suture synostosis (SSS) is the most common form of craniosynostosis. For older patients, the strategy for surgical correction needs to consider diminished growth dynamics of the skull and an active reconstruction cranioplasty aims to sustain stability for the active child. We describe our technique of biparietal meander expansion (BME) technique for SSS for patients older than 1 year and retrospectively reviewed the perioperative course as well as the subjective experience of patients and caregivers during follow-up. Methods: The BME technique incorporates bilateral serpentine craniotomies and fixation of the consecutively expanded bone tongues with crossing sutures for patients with SSS older than 12 months of age at surgery. We reviewed patients undergoing this surgical technique for correction of SSS and collected data about the clinical course and performed a patients reported outcome measure (PROM) for patients or caregivers to evaluate subjective experience and outcome after surgical treatment. Results: BME was performed in 31 patients (8 females; median age: 43 months; range 13-388). The mean length of operation was 172.7 ± 43 minutes (range 115-294). Patients experienced no immediate complications or neurological morbidity after surgery. Considering a total of 21 completed PROM questionnaires, the head shape after surgery was evaluated as either "better" (57%) or "much better" (43%) compared to preoperatively. Eighty-one percent of patients or caregivers answered that the patient experiences no limitation in daily activities. Although 42.8% perceived the hospital as strenuous, 90.5% would choose to undergo this treatment again. Conclusion: BME is a feasible technique for older SSS patients resulting in immediate stability of the remodelled calvarium with a more normal head shape. The survey among caregivers or patients revealed a favourable subjectively experienced outcome after this type of surgical treatment of SSS in the more complex context of an older patient cohort.

description: Aufgabe von Betrieb und Schule in der dualen Berufsausbildung ist es, die Kompetenzentwicklung der Auszubildenden zu fördern (KMK 1996). Entsprechend arrangierte Bedingungen an den Ausbildungsorten kommen allerdings nur zum Tragen, wenn seitens der Lernenden geeignete motivationale Orientierungen vorliegen. Sie werden in dieser Studie durch die Konzepte Leistungsmotivation (Heckhausen 1969), Interesse (Krapp & Prenzel 1992) und Selbstbestimmung (Deci & Ryan 1993) konkretisiert und hinsichtlich ihrer Effekte auf bankwirtschaftliche Kompetenz differentiell überprüft. Weiterhin werden die Zusammenhänge ausgewählter Ausbildungsbedingungen, wie erlebte Autonomie am Arbeitsplatz oder Lehrqualität in der Berufsschule, auf die motivationalen Orientierungen untersucht. Es zeigt sich, dass sie unterschiedlich, aber tendenziell niedrig ausfallen. Die Analyse von Partialkorrelationen ergibt, dass die aufgebaute bankwirtschaftliche Kompetenz vornehmlich leistungsmotivational bedingt zu sein scheint. Demgegenüber wird durch Interesse und verschiedene Formen selbstbestimmter Motivation keine zusätzliche Varianz aufgeklärt.

description: Bei der Diskussion über Kosten und Finanzierung der dualen Berufsausbildung kommt den Methoden zur Erfassung des Ausbildungsnutzens eine zentrale Rolle zu. In einem IT+B-Forschungsvorhaben zum Zusammenhang von Kosten, Nutzen und Qualität beruflicher Bildung wurde ein Selbstevaluationsinstrument für Ausbildungsbetriebe entwickelt, das es erlaubt, nicht nur die Ausbildungskosten und –erträge abzuschätzen, sondern zusätzlich auch die Ausbildungsqualität zu ermitteln. Dabei wird nach vier Input-Kriterien und den zwei Output-Kriterien »Berufsfähigkeit« und »berufliches Engagement« unterschieden. Die Methode ermöglicht auch, den Zusammenhang zwischen Qualität und Rentabilität der Ausbildung insgesamt sowie für alle Ausbildungsjahre zu analysieren und zu veranschaulichen. In der Pilotphase des Projektes wurde die These bestätigt, dass die Rentabilität der Ausbildung mit zunehmen der Ausbildungsqualität ansteigt.
The four-dimensional evolution of normal faults

Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2023

description: Normal faults play a crucial role in understanding the dynamic processes of the Earth, shaping landscapes, influencing sedimentary basins’ distribution, energy resources, and impacting seismic activities. However, much remains to be unravelled, such as the variation of slip rates over time and changes in a fault’s sealing potential throughout its lifespan. In this thesis, I investigate the geometric and kinematic variability of normal faults over time and their implications for fluid flow using age-constrained 3D seismic reflection and wellbore data from the SW Barents Sea. First, I constrain the four-dimensional evolution of extensional growth folds using the stratigraphic record. This reveals that fault-propagation folding can occur in multiple phases, as a protracted process. Next, I focus on the understudied early stage of normal fault growth, providing critical observational datasets that contribute to fault growth models. The results show that there is no universal law that explains normal fault growth. Instead, variability is observed even within faults in the same basin. Local differences in fault initiation times and strain distribution not only affect the final dimensions of faults but also impact the fault length to height aspect ratios. Faults in the early stages of development grow following the constantlength model, reaching near-final lengths before accumulating significant displacement and thus exhibiting geometric immaturity. I investigate the influence of fault geometry and kinematics on fault seal potential. and explore the capabilities of FWI models in determining the P-wave velocity of fault zones. My research indicates an influence of fault growth patterns on fault seal potential. My work demonstrates that fault zones often exhibit variability in their P-wave velocity structure, reflecting the natural heterogeneity observed in faults studied in outcrops. This contributes towards improving our understanding of the physical properties of fault zones by combining seismic reflection and FWI velocity data.

description: Purpose: Diaschisis of cerebrocerebellar loops contributes to cognitive and motor deficits in pediatric cerebellar brain tumor survivors. We used a cerebellar white matter atlas and hypothesized that lesion symptom mapping may reveal the critical lesions of cerebellar tracts. Methods: We examined 31 long-term survivors of pediatric posterior fossa tumors (13 pilocytic astrocytoma, 18 medulloblastoma). Patients underwent neuronal imaging, examination for ataxia, fine motor and cognitive function, planning abilities, and executive function. Individual consolidated cerebellar lesions were drawn manually onto patients' individual MRI and normalized into Montreal Neurologic Institute (MNI) space for further analysis with voxel-based lesion symptom mapping. Results: Lesion symptom mapping linked deficits of motor function to the superior cerebellar peduncle (SCP), deep cerebellar nuclei (interposed nucleus (IN), fastigial nucleus (FN), ventromedial dentate nucleus (DN)), and inferior vermis (VIIIa, VIIIb, IX, X). Statistical maps of deficits of intelligence and executive function mapped with minor variations to the same cerebellar structures. Conclusion: We identified lesions to the SCP next to deep cerebellar nuclei as critical for limiting both motor and cognitive function in pediatric cerebellar tumor survivors. Future strategies safeguarding motor and cognitive function will have to identify patients preoperatively at risk for damage to these critical structures and adapt multimodal therapeutic options accordingly.

description: This research describes the notion of evolution in terms of the Party of God ‘Hezbollah’. The assessment of the transformation of Hezbollah endured due to domestic and international pressure alongside its strategically based interests is stressed using the understandings of theoretical frameworks of Conflict Analysis and Resolution and International Relations. Broad theoretical frameworks that encompass this research include culture, and identity. The struggle for its continuous presence and security Hezbollah faces in its home of Lebanon, a high conflict area, located in the far east of the Mediterranean Sea has been claimed to have been the cause or part of events that have engraved trauma in the domestic and international regions. Lebanon a country that is at war with several identities within and outside its zone holds one of the keys to establishing peace in the region. The struggle this organization holds within its society and internationally, has caused its positional defense for its culture and ix identity to aspire and drive for political legitimization and increasing mobilization. It is a fight in which Hezbollah is seen to have taken, that has evolved over the years to almost looking like a diplomatic fight for its presence in an unwanted setting by some of its neighboring states and even its domestic area which has impacted diplomatic relations. In the process of researching and writing this thesis, it is divided to provide literature search and reviews of media documents, scholarly journals, books, and memoranda of Hezbollah to analyze the social movement’s evolution.

description: Cellulose being an excellent biopolymer has cemented its place firmly in many industries as a coating material, textile, composites, and biomaterial applications. In the present study, we have investigated the effect of biofield treatment on physicochemical properties of cellulose and cellulose acetate. The cellulose and cellulose acetate were exposed to biofield and further the chemical and thermal properties were investigated. X-ray diffraction study asserted that the biofield treatment did affect the crystalline nature of cellulose. The percentage of crystallite size was found increased significantly in treated cellulose by 159.83%, as compared to control sample. This showed that biofield treatment was changing the crystalline nature of treated cellulose. However treated cellulose acetate showed a reduction in crystallite size (-17.38%) as compared to control sample. Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) of treated cellulose showed no improvement in melting temperature as compared to control sample. Contrarily cellulose acetate showed significant improvement in melting temperature peak at 351.91ºC as compared to control (344ºC) polymer. Moreover percentage change in latent heat of fusion (ΔH) was calculated from the DSC thermogram of both treated and control polymers. A significant increase in percentage ΔH of both treated cellulose (59.09%) and cellulose acetate (105.79%) polymers indicated that biofield treatment enhanced the thermal stability of the treated polymers. CHNSO analysis revealed a significant change in percentage hydrogen and oxygen of treated cellulose (%H-17.77, %O-16.89) and cellulose acetate (%H-5.67, %O-13.41). Though minimal change was observed in carbon percentage of both treated cellulose (0.29%) and cellulose acetate (0.39%) polymers as compared to their respective control samples. Thermo gravimetric analysis and Differential thermo gravimetric (TGA-DTG) analysis of treated cellulose acetate (353ºC) showed increased maximum thermal decomposition temperature as compared to control polymer (351ºC). This showed the higher thermal stability of the treated cellulose acetate polymer; although the maximum thermal decomposition temperature of treated cellulose (248ºC) was decreased as compared to control cellulose (321ºC). These outcomes confirmed that biofield treatment has changed the physicochemical properties of the cellulose polymers.

description: Systemic sclerosis represents a chronic connective tissue disease featuring fibrosis, vasculopathy and autoimmunity, affecting skin, multiple internal organs, and skeletal muscles. The vasculopathy is considered obliterative, but its pathogenesis is still poorly understood. This may partially be due to limitations of conventional transmission electron microscopy previously being conducted only in single patients. The aim of our study was therefore to precisely characterize immune inflammatory features and capillary morphology of systemic sclerosis patients suffering from muscle weakness. In this study, we identified 18 individuals who underwent muscle biopsy because of muscle weakness and myalgia in a cohort of 367 systemic sclerosis patients. We performed detailed conventional and immunohistochemical analysis and large-scale electron microscopy by digitizing entire sections for in-depth ultrastructural analysis. Muscle biopsies of 12 of these 18 patients (67%) presented minimal features of myositis but clear capillary alteration, which we termed minimal myositis with capillary pathology (MMCP). Our study provides novel findings in systemic sclerosis-associated myositis. First, we identified a characteristic and specific morphological pattern termed MMCP in 67% of the cases, while the other 33% feature alterations characteristic of other overlap syndromes. This is also reflected by a relatively homogeneous clinical picture among MMCP patients. They have milder disease with little muscle weakness and a low prevalence of interstitial lung disease (20%) and diffuse skin involvement (10%) and no cases of either pulmonary arterial hypertension or renal crisis. Second, large-scale electron microscopy, introducing a new level of precision in ultrastructural analysis, revealed a characteristic capillary morphology with basement membrane thickening and reduplications, endothelial activation and pericyte proliferation. We provide open-access pan-and-zoom analysis to our datasets, enabling critical discussion and data mining. We clearly highlight characteristic capillary pathology in skeletal muscles of systemic sclerosis patients.

description: While the demand for ethical artificial intelligence (AI) systems increases, the number of unethical uses of AI accelerates, even though there is no shortage of ethical guidelines. We argue that a possible underlying cause for this is that AI developers face a social dilemma in AI development ethics, preventing the widespread adaptation of ethical best practices. We define the social dilemma for AI development and describe why the current crisis in AI development ethics cannot be solved without relieving AI developers of their social dilemma. We argue that AI development must be professionalised to overcome the social dilemma, and discuss how medicine can be used as a template in this process.

description: 2-Aminopyridine is an important compound, which is used as intermediate for the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds. The present work was aimed to assess the effect of Mr. Trivedi’s biofield energy treatment on the physical, thermal and spectral characteristics of 2-AP. The work was accomplished by dividing the sample in two parts i.e. one part was remained untreated, and another part had received biofield energy treatment. Subsequently, the samples were analyzed using various characterization techniques such as X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis, ultra violet-visible spectroscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The XRD analysis revealed a decrease in crystallite size of the treated sample (91.80 nm) as compared to the control sample (97.99 nm). Additionally, the result showed an increase in Bragg’s angle (2θ) of the treated sample as compared to the control. The DSC and Differential thermal analysis analysis showed an increase in melting temperature of the treated 2-AP with respect to the control. Moreover, the latent heat of fusion of the treated sample was increased by 3.08%. The TGA analysis showed an increase in onset of thermal degradation (Tonset), and maximum thermal decomposition temperature (Tmax) of the treated 2-AP as compared to the control sample. Additionally, the treated sample showed a reduction in weight loss as compared with the control indicating higher thermal stability of the sample. UV-visible analysis showed no changes in the absorption peak of the treated sample as compared to the control. The FT-IR spectroscopic results showed downward shifting of C-H stretching vibration 2991→2955 cm-1 in treated sample with respect to the control.

description: British Prime Minister Tony Blair has told the U.S. government-sponsored Iraq Study Group that pushing for an Israeli-Palestinian peace settlement "was the only way" to bring about long-term stability to Iraq and the Middle East as a whole. This is a viewpoint that has long been expressed by many Arabs and which has become increasingly popular in Europe. But as desirable as it would be to achieve an Israeli-Palestinian peace settlement, it is doubtful that this could contribute much to stability either in Iraq or elsewhere in the Middle East.
Previously Undiscovered Exoplanets Detected with Deep Learning

description: Using deep learning with the Adam optimization algorithm in this research, I detected more than ten previously undiscovered exoplanets, as well as many confirmed and candidate exoplanets, in the Kepler data. Although some of the exoplanet transit signals were evident, others were not as strong and need further evaluation. By using my own code, open source libraries, and deep learning packages TensorFlow, I developed a Python program for exoplanet search. The program first normalizes the transit light curves, trains the deep learning model, folds the light curves to intensify the transit signals, then uses the model to search for exoplanet transits in the Kepler light curves. Among the newly detected exoplanets, most of them are ultra-short period (USP) exoplanets with orbital periods shorter than a day, and the two others are short period exoplanets with periods between 1 to 10 days. Because the Kepler mission lasted for 9.6 years and observed each star for a selected period of time, there are much more Kepler Objects of Interest (KOI) with shorter periods than those with long periods in the NASA database. This may be a reason as to why the orbital periods of the detected exoplanets in this study are shorter than 10 days. Meanwhile, the detection of these new exoplanets, especially the USP exoplanets, can shed light on their kind and expand our views on their planetary systems. Finally, these findings show that artificial intelligence such as deep learning can be an effective technological tool to used detect objects of interest in astronomy big data.

Structural studies of σ54-mediated transcription initiation
Creators: name: Gao, Forson
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2023

description: Transcription is an essential step in gene expression in all organisms and involves the conversion of sequential information from genomic DNA to single-stranded RNA by the enzyme RNA polymerase. Transcription initiation is the most regulated step in transcription and is essential in ensuring an organism can adapt and respond to changes in its environment and maintain homeostasis. In bacteria, transcription initiation is mediated by σ factors, which are classified as housekeeping σ70 family or major variant σ54. σ factors recruit RNA polymerase to upstream promoter regions of genes and regulate the ability for RNA polymerase to melt and load DNA into its active site to form a competent open complex. σ54 promoters are associated with nutrient depletion and stress response, and σ54 is unique as it recruits RNA polymerase to form a stable closed complex. σ54 initially inhibits open complex formation by blocking DNA loading, as well as occupying the active site and sitting atop of the RNA exit channel. Open complex formation therefore requires ATP hydrolysis by a specialised family of clade 6 AAA+ (ATPase associated with diverse cellular activity) proteins called bacterial enhancer binding proteins. Furthermore, σ54 must undergo a set of conformational changes to enable promoter escape and a transition to processive elongation. We used biochemical approaches coupled with cryo-electron microscopy to capture multiple AAA+-engaged intermediate states to elucidate the mechanism of early DNA melting during open complex formation. Furthermore, we have determined high-resolution structures capturing the initial stages of transcription, gaining insights into how σ54 is displaced during promoter escape. The work presented here deepens our understanding of σ54 mediated transcription initiation, demonstrates conserved mechanisms of promoter escape in all bacteria and demonstrates a unique mechanism of transcription activation by a specialised family of AAA+ protein.

description: Background: Selective dorsal rhizotomy (SDR) in ambulatory children affected by cerebral palsy (CP) is a surgical treatment option to lower spasticity and thereby improve gait and ambulation. The aim of the current study is to investigate the outcome of children with respect to spasticity, muscle strength, and overall function after SDR. Methods: All children who underwent SDR via a single-level laminotomy in the time period from January 2007 to April 2015 at our center were enrolled in this study. Within a standardized evaluation process, the following was assessed routinely pre-operatively and 12 and 24 months following surgery: extent of spasticity at hip adductors and hamstrings as characterized by the Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS), maximal muscle strength as characterized by the Medical Council Research Scale (MRC), overall function regarding ambulation as characterized by the Gross Motors Function Classification System (GFMCS), and overall function as characterized by the Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM-88). Results: Matching sets of pre- and post-operative assessments of the chosen outcome parameters were available for 109 of the 150 children who underwent SDR within the observation period. After 24 months, the MAS scores of hip adductors (n = 59) improved in 71% and 76% of children on the right and left side, respectively. In 20% and 19%, it remained unchanged and worsened in 9% and 5% of children on the right and left side, respectively (p < 0.00625). For hamstrings, the rates for the right and left sides were 81% and 79% improvement, 16% and 16% unchanged, and 4% and 5% worsened, respectively (p < 0.00625). Muscle strength of ankle dorsiflexion and knee extension significantly improved after 24 months. Overall function assessed by GMFM-88 improved significantly by 4% after 12 months (n = 77) and by 7% after 24 months (n = 56, p < 0.0001). Conclusions: The presented data underlines the benefit of SDR in a pediatric patient collective with bilateral spastic CP. The procedure resulted in an effective and permanent reduction of spasticity and improved overall function without causing relevant weakness of the lower extremities.
