description: Background: Sex workers (SWs) experience a disproportionately high burden of HIV, with evidence indicating that complex and dynamic factors within work environments play a critical role in mitigating or producing HIV risks in sex work. In light of sweeping policy efforts to further criminalize sex work globally, coupled with emerging calls for structural responses situated in labour and human-rights frameworks, this meta-synthesis of the qualitative and ethnographic literature sought to examine SWs’ narratives to elucidate the ways in which physical, social and policy features of diverse work environments influence SWs’ agency to engage in HIV prevention. Methods We conducted a meta-synthesis of qualitative and ethnographic studies published from 2008 to 2014 to elucidate SWs’ narratives and lived experiences of the complex and nuanced ways in which physical, social, and policy features of indoor and outdoor work environments shape HIV prevention in the sex industry. Results Twenty-four qualitative and/or ethnographic studies were included in this meta-synthesis. SWs’ narratives revealed the nuanced ways that physical, social, and policy features of work environments shaped HIV risk and interacted with macrostructural constraints (e.g., criminalization, stigma) and community determinants (e.g., sex worker empowerment initiatives) to shape SWs’ agency in negotiating condom use. SWs’ narratives revealed the ways in which the existence of occupational health and safety standards in indoor establishments, as well as protective practices of third parties (e.g., condom promotion) and other SWs/peers were critical ways of enhancing safety and sexual risk negotiation within indoor work environments. Additionally, working in settings where negative interactions with law enforcement were minimized (e.g., working in decriminalized contexts or environments in which peers/managers successfully deterred unjust policing practices) was critical for supporting SWs’ agency to negotiate HIV prevention. Conclusions Policy reforms to remove punitive approaches to sex work, ensure supportive workplace standards and policies, and foster SWs’ ability to work collectively are recommended to foster the realization of SWs’ health and human rights across diverse settings. Future qualitative and mixed-methods research is recommended to ensure that HIV policies and programmes are grounded in SWs’ voices and realities, particularly in more under-represented regions such as Eastern Europe and Sub-Saharan Africa.

description: Am Ostersonntag explodierten Bomben an mehreren Stellen in Sri Lanka, die sich vor allem gegen christliche Einrichtungen gerichtet hatten und 250 Menschen das Leben kosteten. Ausgeführt wurden die Verbrechen von islamistisch orientierten Extremisten. Es hätte die Zeit sein können, für einen Moment innezuhalten, gemeinsam zu trauern (es gab viele Kondolenzbezeugungen an christliche Einrichtungen aus der muslimischen Nachbarschaft) und einen Weg aus dem Hass heraus zu finden. Stattdessen nutzten buddhistisch beeinflusste Extremisten die angespannte Situation, ihrerseits gegen Muslime und Flüchtlinge aus Pakistan und Afghanistan zu hetzen. Unter anderen Vorzeichen trudelt Sri Lanka in eine neue Spirale der Gewalt.

description: The root of Prismatomeris connata has been used in China for centuries as the medicinal herb “Huang Gen” (HG), but its phytochemicals or active ingredients are not well understood. In this study, we performed chemical analysis of the ethyl acetate fraction of a HG ethanol extract. We thus isolated seven new tetrahydroanthraquinones, prisconnatanones C–I (compounds 1–7) from the root of P. connata and identified their structures using spectroscopic analyses. Their absolute configurations were established by both modified Mosher’s and Mo₂OAc₄ methods, and ORD techniques. Their cytotoxicity was tested in a panel of human lung tumor cells (H1229, HTB179, A549 and H520 cell lines). Prisconnatanone I (7) showed the highest activity, with an IC50 value ranging from 2.7 µM to 3.9 µM in the suppression of tumor cell growth, and the others with chelated phenolic hydroxyls exhibited relatively lower activity (IC₅₀: 8–20 µM). In conclusion, these data suggest that some of the natural tetrahydroanthraquinones in HG are bioactive, and hydroxylation at C-1 significantly increases the cytotoxicity of these compounds against lung tumor cell growth.

title: Making WiFi: A Sociological Study of Backyard Technologists in Suburban Australia
Creators: name: Jungnickel, Katrina
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London
Year: 2008

description: This thesis explores the culture of new digital technology - Wireless Fidelity (WiFi). Drawing on an ethnography of the largest not-for-profit community WiFi group in Australia, it examines how members construct a communications network that spans across the largely suburban city of Adelaide by connecting together home-made antennas, many ofwhich are located in their own backyards. I show how these individuals, whom I term backyard technologists, collectively make WiFi using a diverse range of materials and improvised methods in places and at times outside conventional information communication technology (lCT) innovation contexts. They imbue a DoIt-Yourself (DIY) ethic yet importantly they do not do it alone - they Do-It-Together (DIT). My study begins by examining the role and importance of representations established in science and technology studies (STS), particularly in the work of Latour and Woolgar (1979) and Henderson (1999). In these contexts, objects and methods of rendering are linked to particular ways of seeing the world: the production of graphs, diagrams and images are seen as pivotal to understanding how practitioners collaborate, construct knowledge and recruit allies. Central to this literature is the idea of stable, rigorously ordered and immutable public 'facts' that reduce, or entirely erase ambiguity and alternative interpretation. Foregrounding the many representations WiFi members make, I describe how regular encounters with trees, thieves, birds, possums, neighbours, technical complications, a myriad of materials and the weather are implicated in the daily practice of making WiFi. Rather than filtering out and tidying up daily interruptions, I show how members build them into their network. My analysis reveals the public exposure of the messy middlework of making WiFi and I explain that this practice is not a consequence of a fragile technology, the elastic nature of the group or an unpredictable environment but rather deliberately produced, critical to how they innovate, expand the network and recruit new members. Drawing on Actor Network Theory (ANT), I argue that the current understanding of representations in STS does not account for an expanded typology, that is, the possibility of multi-dimensional co-located contingent assemblies of knowledge. Moreover, attending to the nuances and textures ofthis homebrew high-tech network, this thesis establishes the presence of a distinct version of WiFi - an Australian WiFi - thus contributing to the study of different versions of ICTs (Miller and Slater 2000; Goggin 2004; 2007; Ito et a12005). It concludes by proposing alternate means of representing mess in STS and more broadly in the craft of sociology
Changes in hormone flux and signaling in white spruce (Picea glauca) seeds during the transition from dormancy to germination in response to temperature cues

description: Background: Seeds use environmental cues such as temperature to coordinate the timing of their germination, allowing plants to synchronize their life history with the seasons. Winter chilling is of central importance to alleviate seed dormancy, but very little is known of how chilling responses are regulated in conifer seeds. White spruce (Picea glauca) is an important conifer species of boreal forests in the North American taiga. The recent sequencing and assembly of the white spruce genome allows for comparative gene expression studies toward elucidating the molecular mechanisms governing dormancy alleviation by moist chilling. Here we focused on hormone metabolite profiling and analyses of genes encoding components of hormone signal transduction pathways, to elucidate changes during dormancy alleviation and to help address how germination cues such as temperature and light trigger radicle emergence. Results ABA, GA, and auxin underwent considerable changes as seeds underwent moist chilling and during subsequent germination; likewise, transcripts encoding hormone-signaling components (e.g. ABI3, ARF4 and Aux/IAA) were differentially regulated during these critical stages. During moist chilling, active IAA was maintained at constant levels, but IAA conjugates (IAA-Asp and IAA-Glu) were substantially accumulated. ABA concentrations decreased during germination of previously moist-chilled seeds, while the precursor of bioactive GA1 (GA53) accumulated. We contend that seed dormancy and germination may be partly mediated through the changing hormone concentrations and a modulation of interactions between central auxin-signaling pathway components (TIR1/AFB, Aux/IAA and ARF4). In response to germination cues, namely exposure to light and to increased temperature: the transfer of seeds from moist-chilling to 30 °C, significant changes in gene transcripts and protein expression occurred during the first six hours, substantiating a very swift reaction to germination-promoting conditions after seeds had received sufficient exposure to the chilling stimulus. Conclusions The dormancy to germination transition in white spruce seeds was correlated with changes in auxin conjugation, auxin signaling components, and potential interactions between auxin-ABA signaling cascades (e.g. the transcription factor ARF4 and ABI3). Auxin flux adds a new dimension to the ABA:GA balance mechanism that underlies both dormancy alleviation by chilling, and subsequent radicle emergence to complete germination by warm temperature and light stimuli.

description: Die Adivasi im Bundesstaat Jharkhand gelten im Volksmund als kämpferisch. Seit mehr als 300 Jahren widersetzen sie sich dem Verlust ihrer Identität, Autonomie, Kultur, Sprache, ihrem Land und Territorium sowie dem Raub ihrer natürlichen Ressourcen. Die Einrichtung des Bundesstaates Jharkhand zur Jahrtausendwende auf der politischen Landkarte Indiens war eines der Ergebnisse der Kämpfe. Mit dem neuen Bundesstaat stoppten die Bedrohungen jedoch nicht. Im Gegenteil, der Widerstand der Adivasi musste sich nun auf das Verhindern von Vertreibungen konzentrieren, die durch den Ressourcenzugriff des Staates und Firmen drohten. Dies konnte bislang weitgehend abgewendet werden, doch nun droht die Enteignung auf administrativverschwiegenem Wege, wie der Autor berichtet.

Using Stochastic Ray Tracing to Simulate a Dense Time Series of Gross Primary Productivity

Publisher: name: Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute
Year: 2019

description: Eddy-covariance carbon dioxide flux measurement is an established method to estimate primary productivity at the forest stand level (typically 10 ha). To validate eddy-covariance estimates, researchers rely on extensive time-series analysis and an assessment of flux contributions made by various ecosystem components at spatial scales much finer than the eddy-covariance footprint. Scaling these contributions to the stand level requires a consideration of the heterogeneity in the canopy radiation field. This paper presents a stochastic ray tracing approach to predict the probabilities of light absorption from over a thousand hemispherical directions by thousands of individual scene elements. Once a look-up table of absorption probabilities is computed, dynamic illumination conditions can be simulated in a computationally realistic time, from which stand-level gross primary productivity can be obtained by integrating photosynthetic assimilation over the scene. We demonstrate the method by inverting a leaf-level photosynthesis model with eddy-covariance and meteorological data. Optimized leaf photosynthesis parameters and canopy structure were able to explain 75% of variation in eddy-covariance gross primary productivity estimates, and commonly used parameters, including photosynthetic capacity and quantum yield, fell within reported ranges. Remaining challenges are discussed including the need to address the distribution of radiation within shoots and needles.

Man fasst schwer Fuß, hat eine begrenzte Hörerschaft und schlechten Zugang zu öffentlichen, gut besuchten Veranstaltungen. Entsprechend schwer haben es Bands, bekannt zu werden. The Casteless Collective (TCC) hat es geschafft. Die über 10-köpfige Band spielt auf großen Bühnen, lässt sich aber auch für Straßengigs begeistern. Ihre Musik ist politisch, unzensiert und handelt von kastenbasierter Diskriminierung, Unterdrückung von Frauen und Homosexuellen, dem Alltagsleben in Slums. Die Bandmitglieder verstehen sich als keiner Kaste zugehörig, stehen für Gleichheit und Menschenwürde ein. Der Beat wird auf Beerdigungstrommeln geschlagen, die nach hinduistischer Interpretation als unrein gelten.

Directing assessment at supporting learning
Creators: name: Naidu, Som
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This paper describes an attempt to use assessment activities in a course to support student learning and improve the quality of the students' learning experience. It aims to show that assessment activities can be more than devices for merely measuring the achievement of learning outcomes. Innovative use of assessment tasks can serve to scaffold learning and indeed enrich the quality of the student learning experience. Assessment activities that are able to lead to such outcomes mirror the sorts of activities that students are likely to be doing while in professional practice. As such, they provide students with training that they will need for professional practice. This paper seeks to illustrate how some of these types of goals are being pursued in a graduate level course that is offered exclusively in an online distance education format.

description: In photoelectron circular dichroism (PECD) it is generally difficult to trace how and when the chirality of the molecule is imprinted onto the photoelectron. We present simulations of PECD in a simple model and employ chirality measures to establish a quantitative connection between the chirality of the potential, the electronic wave function's chirality, and the anisotropy of the photoelectron distribution. We show that these measures are suitable indicators for chirality, paving the way for tracking the chiral evolution from the nuclear scaffold to the final observable.

description: This study investigates the factors driving students to pursue a master’s degree, taking into account the mediating role of ability beliefs in this decision-making process. Previous research has primarily focused on a narrow range of explanatory factors, such as the utility value of a master’s degree and associated monetary costs. Yet, the role of intrinsic value, expectations of success, and psychological costs of failure, which are crucial in the decision to pursue further studies, have been insufficiently explored. Drawing on the expectancy-value model by Eccles et al., this study develops a comprehensive model to examine the factors influencing bachelor’s students’ intentions to pursue a master’s degree. Using structural equation modelling (SEM) to analyse cross-sectional data from N =  3,044 undergraduate students at a major German university, our findings provide robust support for the theoretical framework. Specifically, students’ expectations of successfully completing a master’s degree emerged as the strongest predictor of their intentions to transition (β = .42, p <  0.001). Intrinsic value, indicated by interest in scientific work, proved to be as important as the utility value (β = .36, p <  0.001). Moreover, psychological costs significantly influenced student’s decisions (β =  -.21, p <  0.01). Notably, apart from academic performance, beliefs about general and scientific abilities contributed to both the expectancy and value components of the model. These results provide valuable insights for higher education institutions regarding programme development and counseling services aimed at supporting students during this critical decision-making process. Additionally, this study enriches the theoretical understanding of the complex dynamics involved in student’s academic transitions.

Die Demokratie ist gut verankert, hingegen müssen viele politische, wirtschaftliche und soziale Herausforderungen noch angegangen werden. Gandhis Vision einer rural basierten Entwicklung ist Indien nicht gefolgt. Der nachfolgende Text lotet aus, wieviel Vision sich in der heutigen Politik unterbringen lässt.

description: The present study hypothesized that supplementation of different methionine (Met) sources might influence the intestinal absorption of L-Met and 3-O-methyl-D-glucose (3-OMG) in broilers. In a completely randomized study, a total of 53 Cobb500 broilers (30 males and 23 females) received a grower-finisher diet that was either not supplemented with Met (Met + Cys, 0.49 %; control) or supplemented with either 0.27 % L-Met, 0.27 % DL-Met or 0.47 % DL-2‑hydroxy-4-(methylthio) butanoic acid (HMTBA). After ≥10 days on the diets, uptakes of 3-OMG and L-Met were measured in duodenum, mid-jejunum and caecum at 50 µM and 5 mM concentrations in Ussing chambers, each in the presence and absence of Na+. We also investigated the mRNA expression of apical glucose and Met transporters. Dietary supplements had no effect on 3-OMG and L-Met uptakes (P > 0.05), except for male broilers receiving DL-Met or DL-HMTBA, that showed higher jejunal uptakes of L-Met than control at 5 mM (P < 0.001). Except for L-Met uptakes at 5 mM, tissue × sodium interactions (P ≤ 0.05) for 3-OMG and L-Met uptakes verified higher uptakes in jejunum compared to duodenum and caecum; with higher uptakes in the presence vs. absence of Na+ in jejunum only. In duodenum, uptakes of L-Met and 3-OMG at 50 µM concentration were higher in males vs. females. Expression of SGLT1, B0AT1, ATB0,+ and rBAT, but not ASCT1, were lowest in caecum (P ≤ 0.05). Expression of B0AT1 was higher in males vs. females (P ≤ 0.05). Expression of ASCT1 was higher with DL-Met and DL-HMTBA supplements compared to L-Met and control (P ≤ 0.05). These findings indicate that jejunum is the main intestinal segment for Na+-dependent L-Met and 3-OMG absorption in broilers with minor effects of dietary Met source. A sexual dimorphism for duodenal nutrient uptake and mRNA abundance of B0AT1 was congruent with the more efficient growth performance of male chickens known from the literature.

description: Language documentation or documentary linguistics is concerned with compiling long lasting multipurpose records of natural language (Himmelmann 1998; 2006; Austin & Grenoble 2007). Austin (2010) identifies five components of language documentation practice, the last component being “mobilisation”, which deals with the “creation, publication and distribution of outputs, in a range of formats for a range of different users and uses” (2010: 19). In practice, language documentation outputs tend to remain obscure to the community, being hidden in user-unfriendly online archives, even though the materials themselves are potentially of great value and interest to the community. It is therefore crucial that the documentary linguist recognises their responsibility beyond compiling and archiving of materials, ensuring that the outputs are accessible for the speaker community.

In this presentation, we firstly aim to elaborate on the current definition of mobilisation as given by Austin (2010). Then, taking a modernising setting into account, we suggest practical ways to share and promote documentary outputs digitally among communities in accessible, usable, and digestible formats. We also highlight the importance of localised solutions which account for local means of access, compatibility of platforms, and related issues such as varying rates of (digital) literacy in sharing the documentary materials. Finally, to help ensure better outreach and community awareness of the materials, we stress the benefits of cooperating with active and digitally literate community members who have existing networks of digital content distribution.

description: Understanding plant photosynthesis, or Gross Primary Production (GPP), is a crucial aspect of quantifying the terrestrial carbon cycle. Remote sensing approaches, in particular multi-angular spectroscopy, have proven successful for studying relationships between canopy-reflectance and plant-physiology processes, thus providing a mechanism to scale up. However, many different instrumentation designs exist and few cross-comparisons have been undertaken. This paper discusses the design evolution of the Automated Multiangular SPectro-radiometer for Estimation of Canopy reflectance (AMSPEC) series of instruments. Specifically, we assess the performance of the PP-Systems Unispec-DC and Ocean Optics JAZ-COMBO spectro-radiometers installed on an updated, tower-based AMSPEC-III system. We demonstrate the interoperability of these spectro-radiometers, and the results obtained suggest that JAZ-COMBO can successfully be used to substitute more expensive measurement units for detecting and investigating photosynthesis and canopy spectra. We demonstrate close correlations between JAZ-COMBO and Unispec-DC measured canopy radiance (0.75 ≤ R² ≤ 0.85) and solar irradiance (0.95 ≤ R² ≤ 0.96) over a three month time span. We also demonstrate close agreement between the bi-directional distribution functions obtained from each instrument. We conclude that cost effective alternatives may allow a network of AMSPEC-III systems to simultaneously monitor various vegetation types in different ecosystems. This will allow to scale and improve our understanding of the interactions between vegetation physiology and spectral characteristics, calibrate broad-scale observations to stand-level measurements, and ultimately lead to improved understanding of changing vegetation spectral features from satellite.

description: The scale of modern datasets has necessitated innovations to solve even the most traditional and fundamental of computational problems. Set membership and set cardinality are both examples of simple queries that, for large enough datasets, quickly become challenging using traditional approaches. Interestingly, we find a need for these innovations within the field of biology. Despite the vast differences among living organisms, there exist functions so critical to life that they are conserved in the genomes and proteomes across seemingly unrelated species. Regular expressions (regexes) can serve as a convenient way to represent these conserved sequences compactly. However, despite the strong theoretical foundation and maturity of tools available, the state-of-the-art regex search falls short of what is necessary to quickly scan an enormous database of biological sequences. In this work, we describe a novel algorithm for regex search that reduces the search space by leveraging a recently developed compact data structure for set membership, the hierarchical interleaved bloom filter. We show that the runtime of our method combined with a traditional search outperforms state-of-the-art tools.

description: Gandhi war nicht sonderlich stolz auf die politische Unabhängigkeit, da sie mit der Teilung des Landes erkauft wurde. In den Feierlichkeiten sah er vielmehr die Gefahr, die wichtigeren und schwierigeren Schritte zur wirklichen Freiheit zu verdrängen. Darin erwies er eine prophetische Gabe, denn diese Verdrängung fand überall statt. Der vorliegende Text beschäftigt sich hingegen mit der Frage, wie Gandhi realiter in das alltägliche Leben gerade in seinem Bewegungsaspekt integriert werden könnte.

description: Newborn calves face challenges adapting from the warm uterine environment to cold ambient temperatures, and often experience cold stress. The objective of this study was to assess the preferred inside hutch temperature of dairy calves in their first week after birth during Central European winter and to compare lying behavior in heated and nonheated hutches. Sixteen matched pairs of dairy calves (2.6 ± 1.3 d old) were enrolled in 7-d replicates with a preference and a control phase. During the preference phase, the calf could choose between 4 different hutches with access to a shared paddock. Inside the hutches, either 0, 1, 2, or 3 heat lamps (HL0, HL1, HL2, HL3) were switched on. The control calf was kept in a nonheated hutch with an enclosed paddock. Calves were observed for 3 to 4 d, then switched from preference to control phase (or vice versa) and observed again for 3 to 4 d. The calves' location was documented once per minute by a time-lapse camera. Lying times and lying bouts were monitored by a 3-dimensional accelerometer data logger attached to the calves' metacarpus. With each additional heat lamp switched on, the temperature inside the hutches rose by 2.6 ± 1.0°C. Calves spent 90% of their time inside a hutch, irrespective of the number of heat lamps switched on, and no preference for a specific inside hutch temperature existed. However, we observed a tendency to prefer the location of the hutches closest to the control calf. Lying behavior did not differ between preference and control phase, but decreased marginally with increasing age. These findings could indicate a need of shelter for calves in winter, but without a preference for a certain inside hutch temperature under the prevailing conditions of deep straw bedding, highly sufficient milk supply, and an ambient temperature of 5.4 ± 3.3°C.

description: Mahatma Gandhi war die erste Person im indischen Freiheitskampf, die die Frage nach einer nationalen Sprache für die Nation nach der Unabhängigkeit aufwirft. Fast alle Führungspersonen vor Gandhi gingen dieser Frage einfach aus dem Weg. Nicht ohne Grund: Sie waren größtenteils Teil der gebildeten englischsprachigen Elite wie etwa Rechtsanwälte. Gandhi paraphrasierte die Frage: „Wie kann eine dumme Nation, die keine eigene Sprache hat, nach Freiheit von den Fesseln eines fremden Regimes streben?“ Gandhi stellte diese Frage 1909 in seinem Magnum Opus Hind Swaraj. Der Autor skizziert Hintergrund und aktuelle Bedeutung der Identitätsbildung über Sprache in einem kolonialen und post-kolonialen Kontext.
