description: © 2020 by the authors. Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland. In conventional method protection schemes are devised for certain operation conditions with fixed settings throughout their operation life, however, protection systems in interconnected distribution networks rely on a detailed analysis of fault current contribution and variation in operation conditions under real-world scenarios. In fact, the concept of Adaptive Protection System (APS) and possibility of the adjustment for protection settings within modern Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs) have introduced desired functionalities for protection systems to cope with complex operation scenarios envisioned within future power system networks. In this paper, a novel protection system based on Multi-Agent System (MAS) and heuristic decision-making is proposed to update protection settings of the protection IEDs with respect to prevailing operation conditions in an interconnected distribution network. The adopted methodology is reliant on real-time simulation of a distribution network interconnected with Doubly-fed Induction Generator (DFIG) wind farms where different fault scenarios are applied to evaluate the functionality and performance of the proposed Multi-Agent Protection System (MAPS). In addition to that, combination of knowledge sharing between different protection IEDs and logic reasoning are integrated to fulfill protection task under real-world operation scenarios. The significance of the proposed MAPS is the improvement in protection system of the interconnected distribution network.

Experiments conducted in large scientific research infrastructures, such as synchrotrons, free electron lasers and neutron sources become increasingly complex. Such experiments, often investigating complex physical systems, are usually performed under strict time limitations and may depend critically on experimental parameters. To prepare and analyze these complex experiments, a virtual laboratory which provides start-to-end simulation tools can help experimenters predict experimental results under real or close to real instrument conditions. As a part of the PaNOSC (Photon and Neutron Open Science Cloud) project, the VIrtual Neutron and x-raY Laboratory (VINYL) is designed to be a cloud service framework to implement start-to-end simulations for those scientific facilities. In this paper, we present an introduction of the virtual laboratory framework and discuss its applications to the design and optimization of experiment setups as well as the estimation of experimental artifacts in an X-ray experiment.

description: Background Epidemiological and animal studies have associated systemic inflammation with blood pressure (BP). However, the mechanistic factors linking inflammation and BP remain unknown. Fatty acid–derived eicosanoids serve as mediators of inflammation and have been suggested to regulate renal vascular tone, peripheral resistance, renin‐angiotensin system, and endothelial function. We hypothesize that specific proinflammatory and anti‐inflammatory eicosanoids are linked with BP. Methods and Results We studied a population sample of 8099 FINRISK 2002 participants randomly drawn from the Finnish population register (53% women; mean age, 48±13 years) and, for external validation, a sample of 2859 FHS (Framingham Heart Study) Offspring study participants (55% women; mean age, 66±9 years). Using nontargeted liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry, we profiled 545 distinct high‐quality eicosanoids and related oxylipin mediators in plasma. Adjusting for conventional hypertension risk factors, we observed 187 (34%) metabolites that were significantly associated with systolic BP ( P Conclusions Plasma eicosanoids demonstrate strong associations with BP in the general population. As eicosanoid compounds affect numerous physiological processes that are central to BP regulation, they may offer new insights about the pathogenesis of hypertension, as well as serve as potential targets for therapeutic intervention.

description: Abstract Background Horizontal gene transfer contributes to bacterial evolution through mobilising genes across various taxonomical boundaries. It is frequently mediated by mobile genetic elements (MGEs), which may capture, maintain, and rearrange mobile genes and co-mobilise them between bacteria, causing horizontal gene co-transfer (HGcoT). This physical linkage between mobile genes poses a great threat to public health as it facilitates dissemination and co-selection of clinically important genes amongst bacteria. Although rapid accumulation of bacterial whole-genome sequencing data since the 2000s enables study of HGcoT at the population level, results based on genetic co-occurrence counts and simple association tests are usually confounded by bacterial population structure when sampled bacteria belong to the same species, leading to spurious conclusions. Results We have developed a network approach to explore WGS data for evidence of intraspecies HGcoT and have implemented it in R package GeneMates (github.com/wanyuac/GeneMates). The package takes as input an allelic presence-absence matrix of interested genes and a matrix of core-genome single-nucleotide polymorphisms, performs association tests with linear mixed models controlled for population structure, produces a network of significantly associated alleles, and identifies clusters within the network as plausible co-transferred alleles. GeneMates users may choose to score consistency of allelic physical distances measured in genome assemblies using a novel approach we have developed and overlay scores to the network for further evidence of HGcoT. Validation studies of GeneMates on known acquired antimicrobial resistance genes in Escherichia coli and Salmonella Typhimurium show advantages of our network approach over simple association analysis: (1) distinguishing between allelic co-occurrence driven by HGcoT and that driven by clonal reproduction, (2) evaluating effects of population structure on allelic co-occurrence, and (3) direct links between allele clusters in the network and MGEs when physical distances are incorporated. Conclusion GeneMates offers an effective approach to detection of intraspecies HGcoT using WGS data.

description: Background Several small-scale animal studies have suggested that gut microbiota and blood pressure (BP) are linked. However, results from human studies remain scarce and conflicting. We wanted to elucidate the multivariable-adjusted association between gut metagenome and BP in a large, representative, well-phenotyped population sample. We performed a focused analysis to examine the previously reported inverse associations between sodium intake and Lactobacillus abundance and between Lactobacillus abundance and BP. Methods and Results We studied a population sample of 6953 Finns aged 25 to 74 years (mean age, 49.2±12.9 years; 54.9% women). The participants underwent a health examination, which included BP measurement, stool collection, and 24-hour urine sampling (N=829). Gut microbiota was analyzed using shallow shotgun metagenome sequencing. In age- and sex-adjusted models, the α (within-sample) and β (between-sample) diversities of taxonomic composition were strongly related to BP indexes (P<0.001 for most). In multivariable-adjusted models, β diversity was only associated with diastolic BP (P=0.032). However, we observed significant, mainly positive, associations between BP indexes and 45 microbial genera (P<0.05), of which 27 belong to the phylum Firmicutes. Interestingly, we found mostly negative associations between 19 distinct Lactobacillus species and BP indexes (P<0.05). Of these, greater abundance of the known probiotic Lactobacillus paracasei was associated with lower mean arterial pressure and lower dietary sodium intake (P<0.001 for both). Conclusions Although the associations between overall gut taxonomic composition and BP are weak, individuals with hypertension demonstrate changes in several genera. We demonstrate strong negative associations of certain Lactobacillus species with sodium intake and BP, highlighting the need for experimental studies.

Background Until a vaccine is developed, a test, trace and isolate strategy is the most effective method of controlling the COVID-19 outbreak. Contact tracing and case isolation are common methods for controlling infectious disease outbreaks. However, the effectiveness of any contact tracing system rests on public engagement. Numerous factors may influence an individual’s willingness to engage with a contact tracing system. Understanding these factors has become urgent during the COVID-19 pandemic. Objective To identify facilitators and barriers to uptake of, and engagement with, contact tracing during infectious disease outbreaks. Method A rapid systematic review was conducted to identify papers based on primary research, written in English, and that assessed facilitators, barriers, and other factors associated with the uptake of, and engagement with, a contact tracing system. Principal findings Four themes were identified as facilitators to the uptake of, and engagement with, contact tracing: collective responsibility; personal benefit; co-production of contact tracing systems; and the perception of the system as efficient, rigorous and reliable. Five themes were identified as barriers to the uptake of, and engagement with, contact tracing: privacy concerns; mistrust and/or apprehension; unmet need for more information and support; fear of stigmatization; and mode-specific challenges. Conclusions By focusing on the factors that have been identified, contact tracing services are more likely to get people to engage with them, identify more potentially ill contacts, and reduce transmission.

description: Publishers, libraries, and consumers have all come to the understanding that authorizing access to content based on IP address no longer works in today’s distributed world. The RA21 project hopes to resolve some of the fundamental issues that create barriers to moving to federated identity in place of IP address authentication by looking at some of the products and services available in the identity discovery space today, and determining best practice for future implementations going forward.

RA21 conducted three pilots, one corporate and two academic, that explored potential technologies that would enable these steps, and reviewed the user experience, security, and privacy characteristics of each technology.

With the conclusion of the pilot evaluation, the remaining work of the project focuses on polishing the recommendations for the user experience, writing up the best practices and submitting them to NISO for public comment and publication, and establishing the governance of a future service that would build on RA21 guidelines.

description: The  Academic Integrity Module was developed for students at the University of Alabama at Birmingham and completed in collaboration with the division of e-Learning and the Collat School of Business. Beginning in the spring of 2018, the fully asynchronous module was embedded in all sections of the introductory business classes with the intention of better informing students about the many forms of academic dishonesty and the university’s honor code. In addition, it examines the role of students, instructors, and administration in the event of academic misconduct. The module includes a discussion, interactive tutorial, and quiz within the Canvas LMS. The creation of this module has also led to the addition of face-to-face instruction of academic integrity in these classes. Attendees will leave the poster with ideas on how to establish an asynchronous academic integrity module at their institution.

title: Aufarbeitung des Nationalsozialismus in der österreichischen Krankenpflege
Creators: name: Jirku, Karin
Year: 2010

description: In der beruflichen Gesundheits- und Krankenpflege begann die Auseinandersetzung mit dem Nationalsozialismus – wie in anderen Berufen auch – erst mit Beginn des 21. Jahrhunderts. Bis dahin spielte die Aufarbeitung in der beruflichen Pflege überhaupt keine Rolle und war auch niemals Gegenstand der pflegerischen Ausbildung. Die vorliegende Diplomarbeit stellt eine umfassende Recherche der gesamten Literatur zum Gegenstand dar. Dies soll verdeutlichen, welche Autorinnen und Autoren die Aufarbeitung vorangetrieben haben und in welchem Kontext dies geschah. Im Speziellen werden die Verfasserinnen und Verfasser aus der beruflichen Pflege hervorgehoben. Weiters untersucht die Arbeit, wie im Allgemeinen im Berufsfeld der Krankenpflege mit der Aufarbeitung der NS-Vergangenheit umgegangen wurde. Hier spielen besonders der Österreichische Gesundheits- und Krankenpflegeverband (ÖGKV) und Krankenpflegelehrbücher eine übergeordnete Rolle. Neben der Strukturierung der Literatur, gibt die Arbeit einen Überblick zur Situation der Pflege in den Jahren 1938 bis 1945 und zu ihrer Einbindung in die grausamen Verbrechen gegen die Menschlichkeit. Die verfasste Diplomarbeit kann als eine Art „Nachschlagewerk“ für Interessierte verstanden werden, woraus sich ein Nutzen vor allem auch für jene ergibt, die aus der beruflichen Krankenpflege kommen (Schülerinnen und Schüler, Studierende, Lehrende).
description: In the field of occupational health care and nursing practice the debate about National Socialism – as well as in other professional fields – did not start until the early 21st century. Until then coming to terms with the past in the occupational nursing practice played absolutely no role and was also never a subject in the caregiving education. The present diploma thesis provides a comprehensive research of the entire literature regarding this topic. This should point out which authors pushed coming to terms and in which context this happened. Special emphasis is given to the authors who come from the occupational nursing practice. Furthermore the thesis examines how coming to terms with the National Socialism past was generally handled within the occupational field of nursing. Here especially the “Österreichische Gesundheits- und Krankenpflegeverband“ (ÖGKV) and health care educational books play a major role. In addition to structuring the literature, the thesis provides an overview about the situation of caregiving between 1938 and 1945 and its involvement in the cruel crime against humanity. The composed diploma thesis can be understood as a reference work for people interested in this topic, especially for those who come from the occupational health care (students, teachers).

description: We analyse a variational regularisation problem for mixed noise removal that was recently proposed in [14]. The data discrepancy term of the model combines L1 and L2 terms in an infimal convolution fashion and it is appropriate for the joint removal of Gaussian and Salt & Pepper noise. In this work we perform a finer analysis of the model which emphasises on the balancing effect of the two parameters appearing in the discrepancy term. Namely, we study the asymptotic behaviour of the model for large and small values of these parameters and we compare it to the corresponding variational models with L1  and L2 data fidelity. Furthermore, we compute exact solutions for simple data functions taking the total variation as regulariser. Using these theoretical results, we then analytically study a bilevel optimisation strategy for automatically selecting the parameters of the model by means of a training set. Finally, we report some numerical results on the selection of the optimal noise model via such strategy which confirm the validity of our analysis and the use of popular data models in the case of ``blind'' model selection.

description: © The Author(s) 2020. Low levels of health literacy are associated with poorer health outcomes. Both individual- and social-level factors have been identified as predictors of low health literacy, and men are known to have lower health literacy than women. Previous research has reported that men working in male-dominated occupations are at higher risk of accidents, injury, and suicide than other population groups, yet no study to date has examined the effect of gendered occupational contexts on men’s health literacy. The current article examined the association between occupational gender ratio and health literacy among Australian males. The Australian Longitudinal Study on Male Health (Ten to Men) was used to examine associations between occupational gender ratio (measured in Wave 1) and health literacy (measured in Wave 2) across three subscales of the Health Literacy Questionnaire. Multivariable linear regression analyses were used and showed that the more male dominated an occupational group became, the lower the scores of health literacy were. Results for the different subscales of health literacy for the most male-dominated occupational group, compared to the non-male-dominated group were: ability to find good health information, (Coef. −0.80, 95% CI [−1.05, −0.54], p
Changing Horses In Mid-Stream

description: The Smithsonian/NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS) is the core digital library for astrophysics.  It was built in 1992, put on the Internet for public use in 1993, and moved to the WWW in 1994.  It was an immediate success, and has dominated astronomers use of their scholarly literature ever since.

By the beginning of the 21st century it was clear the ADS was an important part of the scholarly infrastructure of astronomy.  This required that it be rebuilt, from the original ad hoc system to more long-term stable, maintainable, robust and extensible one, while keeping the existing service operating 24/7/365.

This has been substantially more difficult than we imagined; finally begun in 2007 the new system was released this spring (2018), to run for a year in parallel with the old, Classic system until next spring, when the Classic system will be turned off, after a quarter of a century of use.

The project has taken more than a decade of intense work; it required a change in the management structure, and an eventual doubling of the staff (and thus budget).  During this time the technological landscape has changed substantially, many promising directions for the development were taken, only to be later abandoned.  Additionally many new capabilities became possible, requiring improvements both to the new design, and where feasible, to the old system as well.

We hope the new ADS will enable researchers discovery for the next 25 years.

description: © The Author/s 2020. While Vietnamese students continue to enrol in international branch university campuses in Vietnam, little is known about the Vietnamese first year transition into these institutions, especially from a cultural perspective. This article presents the findings of four case studies that explored the face strategies used by Vietnamese undergraduate business students in transition to an international branch campus based in Vietnam. The use of collectivist and individualist face strategies was examined in three phases: at commencement, mid-way and at the end of the first year of studies. The findings suggest that collectivist face strategies might not be employed as often as expected by Vietnamese first year students in this context even though they transition from a Confucian heritage culture. Understanding face strategies can help anticipate challenges of Vietnamese students studying in English-medium environments and inform culturally sensitive practices in teaching and learning.

description: © The Author(s). The implementation of Agrobacterium tumefaciens as a transformation tool revolutionized approaches to discover and understand gene functions in a large number of fungal species. A. tumefaciens mediated transformation (AtMT) is one of the most transformative technologies for research on fungi developed in the last 20 years, a development arguably only surpassed by the impact of genomics. AtMT has been widely applied in forward genetics, whereby generation of strain libraries using random T-DNA insertional mutagenesis, combined with phenotypic screening, has enabled the genetic basis of many processes to be elucidated. Alternatively, AtMT has been fundamental for reverse genetics, where mutant isolates are generated with targeted gene deletions or disruptions, enabling gene functional roles to be determined. When combined with concomitant advances in genomics, both forward and reverse approaches using AtMT have enabled complex fungal phenotypes to be dissected at the molecular and genetic level. Additionally, in several cases AtMT has paved the way for the development of new species to act as models for specific areas of fungal biology, particularly in plant pathogenic ascomycetes and in a number of basidiomycete species. Despite its impact, the implementation of AtMT has been uneven in the fungi. This review provides insight into the dynamics of expansion of new research tools into a large research community and across multiple organisms. As such, AtMT in the fungi, beyond the demonstrated and continuing power for gene discovery and as a facile transformation tool, provides a model to understand how other technologies that are just being pioneered, e.g. CRISPR/Cas, may play roles in fungi and other eukaryotic species.

Reflections on my journey in using Information Technology to support Legal Decision Making—from Legal Positivism to Legal Realism

description: In this paper I discuss my transition from legal positivism to legal realism and how this has impacted upon my construction of legal decision support systems. As a child living with parents who were heavily engaged in politics, and who had disastrous experiences with the twin evils of fascism and communism, I was encouraged to become a scientist. But my interest was always in law and politics. Constructing legal decision support systems was a pragmatic balance between my skills and interests. So I began constructing rule-based systems. But gradually I became aware of the discretionary nature of legal decision making and the need to model legal realism. Through the use of machine learning I have been able to develop useful systems modelling discretion. The advent of the world wide web has allowed the wider community to become more aware of legal decision making. It has fostered the concept of online dispute resolution and provided tools for self-represented litigants. Most importantly, we have become aware that the major impediment to the use of technology in law is not the lack of adequate software. Rather it is the failure of the legal profession to address user centric issues.

description: © 2020 Akademiai Kiado Rt.. All rights reserved. Background and aims: Since mid-March 2020, over 3 billion people have been confined as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Problematic eating behaviors are likely to be impacted by the pandemic through multiple pathways. This study examined the relationships between stress related to lockdown measures and binge eating and dietary restriction in a population of French students during the first week of confinement. Methods: A sample of undergraduate students (N 5 5,738) completed an online questionnaire 7 days after lockdown measures were introduced. The survey comprised variables related to lockdown measures and the COVID-19-pandemic, mood, stress, body image, binge eating and dietary restriction during the past 7 days, as well as intent to binge eat and restrict in the following 15 days. Results: Stress related to the lockdown was associated with greater likelihood of binge eating and dietary restriction over the past week and intentions to binge eat and restrict over the next 15 days. Greater exposure to COVID-19-related media was associated with increased eating restriction over the past week. Binge eating and restriction (past and intentions) were associated with established risk factors, including female gender, low impulse regulation, high body dissatisfaction, and having a concurrent probable eating disorder. Discussion and conclusion: The higher the stress related to the first week of confinement, the higher the risk of problematic eating behaviors among students, particularly those characterized by eating-related concerns. Screening for risk factors and providing targeted interventions might help decrease problematic eating behaviors among those who are most vulnerable.
title: Perspektiven Regionaler Identität und deren Einfluss auf das Konsumverhalten im Lebensmittelbereich
Creators: name: Greiner, Viktoria
Year: 2009

description: In der vorliegenden Arbeit wurde ein Modell der Regionalen Identität in die Theorie des geplanten Verhaltens integriert, um deren Einfluss auf das Konsumverhalten im Lebensmittelbereich zu untersuchen. Dieses Modell basierte einerseits auf Erkenntnissen aus einer, im Vorfeld durchgeführten, qualitativen Exploration des Regionalitätsverständnisses von EinwohnerInnen, Wirtschaftstreibenden und ProponentInnen des Regionalmanagements einer oberösterreichischen Industrie- und Landwirtschaftsregion, sowie den theoretisch fundierten Konstrukten Ortsbindung, Ortsidentität und Gemeinschaftsverständnis andererseits. Entgegen der Erwartung, zeigten die Ergebnisse einer Regressionsanalyse der Daten (n=939), in Relation zu den anderen einbezogenen Einflussfaktoren, keinen statistisch signifikanten Einfluss der Regionalen Identität auf das Einkaufsverhalten. Die Ergebnisse werden in Hinblick auf deren praktische Relevanz für Marketing- und Positionierungsstrategien von Klein- und Mittelbetrieben des Lebensmittelhandels diskutiert.

description: © 2020 The Authors Co-production between scientific and Indigenous knowledge has been identified as useful to generating adaptation pathways with Indigenous peoples, who are attached to their traditional lands and thus highly exposed to the impacts of climate change. However, ignoring the complex and contested histories of nation-state colonisation can result in naïve adaptation plans that increase vulnerability. Here, through a case study in central Australia, we investigate the conditions under which co-production between scientific and Indigenous knowledge can support climate change adaptation pathways among place-attached Indigenous communities. A research team including scientists, Ltyentye Apurte Rangers and other staff from the Central Land Council first undertook activities to co-produce climate change presentations in the local Arrernte language; enable community members to identify potential adaptation actions; and implement one action, erosion control. Second, we reflected on the outcomes of these activities in order to unpack deeper influences. Applying the theory of articulation complexes, we show how ideologies, institutions and economies have linked Indigenous societies and the establishing Australian nation-state since colonisation. The sequence of complexes characterised as frontier, mission, pastoral, land-rights, community-development and re-centralisation, which is current, have both enabled and constrained adaptation options. We found knowledge co-production generates adaptation pathways when: (1) effective methods for knowledge co-production are used, based on deeply respectful partnerships, cultural governance and working together through five co-production tasks—prepare, communicate, discuss, bring together and apply; (2) Indigenous people have ongoing connection to their traditional territories to maintain their Indigenous knowledge; (3) the relationship between the Indigenous people and the nation-state empowers local decision-making and learning, which requires and creates consent, trust, accountability, reciprocity, and resurgence of Indigenous culture, knowledge and practices. These conditions foster the emergence of articulation complexes that enable the necessary transformative change from the colonial legacies. Both these conditions and our approach are likely to be relevant for place-attached Indigenous peoples across the globe in generating climate adaptation pathways.

description: © 2020 by the authors. Higher education institutions are tasked with education for sustainable development, of which the environment is a central pillar. Understanding the demographic factors that influence the establishment of environmental worldviews allows educators to better contextualize sustainability content and discussion. Identifying pedagogies capable of creating learning spaces within which worldviews can shift offers similar opportunities. Using a quasi-experimental design and model building, this study identifies important social psychological antecedents of environmental beliefs, assesses the effectiveness of outbound mobility pedagogy at changing those beliefs and identifies important predictors of the nature and magnitude of those changes. Sustainable outbound mobility courses were effective at increasing environmental worldview compared to a control group. At program commencement, political orientation and businessmajorswere negatively associatedwith environmental worldview, while female gender was the reverse. For sustainability education courses, only gender was retained as a significant predictor of the nature and change of environmental worldview by the course's end. These results suggest that the factors associated with environmental worldview upon commencement of a course do not necessarily predict the malleability of that worldview in higher education students.
