description: Connecting knowledge with action (KWA) for health equity involves interventions that can redistribute power and resources at local, national, and global levels. Although there is ample and compelling evidence on the nature, distribution, and impact of health inequities, advancing health equity is inhibited by policy arenas shaped by colonial legacies and neoliberal ideology. Effective progress toward health equity requires attention to evidence that can promote the kind of socio-political restructuring needed to address root causes of health inequities. In this critical interpretive synthesis, results of a recent scoping review were broadened to identify evidence-informed promising practices for KWA for health equity. Following screening procedures, 10 literature reviews and 22 research studies were included in the synthesis. Analysis involved repeated readings of these 32 articles to extract descriptive data, assess clarity and quality, and identify promising practices. Four distinct kinds of promising practices for connecting KWA for health equity were identified and included: ways of structuring systems, ways of working together, and ways of doing research and ways of doing knowledge translation. Our synthesis reveals that advancing health equity requires greater awareness, dialogue, and action that aligns with the what is known about the causes of health inequities. By critically reflecting on dominant discourses and assumptions, and mobilizing political will from a more informed and transparent democratic exercise, knowledge to action for health equity can be achieved.

description: Following the prime minister's surprise announcement of a federal election for September 14, attention will inevitably fall on the role Labor's key electoral reforms may play in the coming contest. Alongside a plethora of routine updates, the most significant change this government has made has been the long-overdue overhaul of Australia's electoral enrolment procedures. Also contentious, but far less significant in impact, will be proposed reforms to political donations.

description: Many of the world’s most pressing issues, such as the emergence of zoonotic diseases, can only be addressed through interdisciplinary research. However, the findings of interdisciplinary research are susceptible to miscommunication among both professional and non-professional audiences due to differences in training, language, experience, and understanding. Such miscommunication contributes to the misunderstanding of key concepts or processes and hinders the development of effective research agendas and public policy. These misunderstandings can also provoke unnecessary fear in the public and have devastating effects for wildlife conservation. For example, inaccurate communication and subsequent misunderstanding of the potential associations between certain bats and zoonoses has led to persecution of diverse bats worldwide and even government calls to cull them. Here, we identify four types of miscommunication driven by the use of terminology regarding bats and the emergence of zoonotic diseases that we have categorized based on their root causes: (1) incorrect or overly broad use of terms; (2) terms that have unstable usage within a discipline, or different usages among disciplines; (3) terms that are used correctly but spark incorrect inferences about biological processes or significance in the audience; (4) incorrect inference drawn from the evidence presented. We illustrate each type of miscommunication with commonly misused or misinterpreted terms, providing a definition, caveats and common misconceptions, and suggest alternatives as appropriate. While we focus on terms specific to bats and disease ecology, we present a more general framework for addressing miscommunication that can be applied to other topics and disciplines to facilitate more effective research, problem-solving, and public policy.

The lived experiences of physiotherapists in their encounters with people with chronic pain : a phenomenological enquiry
Creators: name: Barlow, Shelley
Publisher: name: Southern Cross University
Year: 2021
Subjects: Physiotherapist
Lived experiences
Chronic pain
Phenomenology

description: This study investigates and explicates the lived experiences of physiotherapists in their clinical encounters with people with chronic pain. A phenomenological approach to interviewing physiotherapists who work in public outpatients was used. The methodology draws on the Husserlian tradition of descriptive phenomenological enquiry for explication of the physiotherapists’ experiences. The structural approaches of three Husserlian-influenced phenomenologists to descriptive phenomenology was used for analysis and synthesis of participants’ experiences. Each phenomenologist provided the structure to explicate the unfolding of experience over time.
description: The first round of interviews was explicated using Moustakas’ version of Husserlian descriptive phenomenology. The meta-themes of challenge, confidence and commitment described the enduring nature of how and what participants experienced working with people with chronic pain. The second round of interviews was explicated with Giorgi’s methodological structure. The phenomenological psychological elements of participants’ experiences in relation to the phenomenon were revealed. The time between interviews provided an opportunity for the physiotherapists to reflect on their experiences, allowing them to reference their own experiences, rather than placing the experience of the person with chronic pain before their own. Todres’ descriptive methodological structure used for rounds three and four revealed the intersubjective nature of the clinical encounter and how it unfolds.
description: This longitudinal study revealed how enduring and emerging elements of the clinical encounter co-exist. The enduring theme of challenge, coexisted with confidence, commitment, courage, and compassion. Initially challenge dominated the experience, often disrupting the therapeutic relationship and preventing further engagement with people with chronic pain. Being immersed in a field of trauma, with reduced psychological safety, was largely unrecognised by participants until they reflected on their experiences. Some participants, by reflecting on their work with people with chronic pain, recognised and appreciated their responses to people with chronic pain was a source of their own discomfort. Confronting and understanding their own responses allowed some participants to transform and transcend their previous negative experiences. A framework for working with people with chronic pain is presented. It recognises the value of a relational approach to working with people with chronic pain and the importance of self-developmental processes to help transcend enduring challenges. The findings of this study have implications for health professionals working with people with chronic pain in complex and potentially overwhelming situations.

description: We present a detailed two-dimensional stellar dynamical analysis of a sample of 44 cosmological hydrodynamical simulations of individual central galaxies with stellar masses of 2 × 1010M{N-ary circled dot operator} ≲ M* ≲ 6 × 1011M≲. Kinematic maps of the stellar line-of-sight velocity, velocity dispersion and higher order Gauss-Hermite moments h3 and h4 are constructed for each central galaxy and for the most massive satellites. The amount of rotation is quantified using the λR-parameter. The velocity, velocity dispersion, h3 and h4 fields of the simulated galaxies show a diversity similar to observed kinematic maps of early-type galaxies in the ATLAS3D survey. This includes fast (regular), slow and misaligned rotation, hot spheroids with embedded cold disc components as well as galaxies with counter-rotating cores or central depressions in the velocity dispersion. We link the present-day kinematic properties to the individual cosmological formation histories of the galaxies. In general, major galaxy mergers have a significant influence on the rotation properties resulting in both a spin-down as well as a spin-up of the merger remnant. Lower mass galaxies with significant (≳18 per cent) in situ formation of stars since z ≈ 2, or with additional gas-rich major mergers - resulting in a spin-up - in their formation history, form elongated (σ 0.45) fast rotators (λR 0.46) with a clear anticorrelation of h3 and v/σ. An additional formation path for fast rotators includes gas-poor major mergers leading to a spin-up of the remnants (λR 0.43). This formation path does not result in anticorrelated h3 and v/σ. The formation histories of slow rotators can include late major mergers. If the merger is gas rich, the remnant typically is a less flattened slow rotator with a central dip in the velocity dispersion. If the merger is gas poor, the remnant is very elongated (σ 0.43) and slowly rotating (λR 0.11). The galaxies most consistent with the rare class of non-rotating round early-type galaxies grow by gas-poor minor mergers alone. In general, more massive galaxies have less in situ star formation since z 2, rotate slower and have older stellar populations. We discuss general implications for the formation of fast and slowly rotating galaxies as well as the weaknesses and strengths of the underlying models.

Publisher: name: RomaTrE-Press

description: Il saggio si propone di esaminare la relazione tra i fiorentini e gli altri gruppi di forestieri stabilitisi a Roma, attratti dalle molte opportunità offerte dalla città del papa. La comunità fiorentina si organizzò per la prima volta nel 1448 in una confraternita di assistenza detta Compagnia della Pietà. I membri di questa grande comunità ruotavano attivamente intorno alla confraternita e ai luoghi dove si incontravano settimanalmente per soddisfare le loro esigenze spirituali e sociali, stabilendo e consolidando relazioni che avevano per obiettivo il bene comune, la mutua assistenza, i reciproci vantaggi economici e il prestigio fiorentino. La confraternita si è dunque impegnata ad aiutare i malati e i poveri di provenienza toscana e a difendere gli interessi commerciali e sociali, promuovendo la ‘fiorentinità’ attraverso l’esaltazione delle loro tradizioni di grandeur sociale, politica e culturale. La compagnia si è poi progressivamente orientata a promuovere e a sponsorizzare la costruzione di una chiesa nazionale che testimoniasse del prestigio fiorentino, rifacendosi al simbolo principale di Firenze: la cupola di S. Maria del Fiore. Il risultato finale non fu realizzato da artisti fiorentini come Antonio da Sangallo il giovane e Michelangelo Buonarroti, autori – tra altri artisti fiorentini – di splendidi progetti, ma da ‘stranieri’ come Giacomo della Porta, Carlo Maderno e Francesco Borromini. Tre architetti non fiorentini, dunque, al fine di poter disporre degli stessi architetti impegnati nella costruzione della basilica di S. Pietro, il più grande cantiere europeo di sempre, e continuare così ad alimentare l’idea di grandeur fiorentina, senza più alcun riguardo per la nazionalità degli artisti come era accaduto inizialmente.

description: Biomass materials have been increasingly used due to their renewable nature. The problems occurring during the storage of fresh woody materials include gas emissions and dry matter losses as a result of degradation. The objective of this study was to investigate and quantify the effect of moisture content on gas emissions from stored wood chips. Experiments were conducted under non-aerobic and aerobic conditions using fresh Western Red Cedar (WRC) chips with different initial moisture contents over a range of temperatures. The peak CO2 emission factor of 2.9 g/kg dry matter (DM) was observed from high moisture chips at 20 °C under non-aerobic conditions after two-month storage, which was an order of magnitude greater than that from low moisture chips. In the case of volatile organic compounds, a range of compounds were detected from all tests. The concentration of VOCs was found to be positively correlated with moisture content. Gas emissions from the aerobic reactors exhibited similar trends as non-aerobic reactors with respect to the effect of moisture content, although higher values were observed under aerobic conditions. Slight reduction of dry mass from all tests at the end of storage indicated the decay-resistance characteristics of WRC.

Resistance Is Not Futile: Fleay’s barred frogs Mixophyes fleayi show low susceptibility to chytridiomycosis in recovered populations

description: Amphibians are the most imperilled class of animals on the planet. A major contributor to this has been the amphibian disease chytridiomycosis, caused by the chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), which spread around the world during the 20th century because of increasing global trade. Following epizootic waves across multiple continents which contributed to the extinction of around 100 species, several species appear to have recovered after often precipitous declines. However, few of these species have been studied extensively to investigate their current response to chytridiomycosis. The purpose of this project was to understand the effects of Bd infection on mortality and to quantify infection dynamics across multiple life stages of a recovering species in the field. I conducted extensive surveys of all life stages of Fleay’s barred frog (Mixophyes fleayi) across three sites. I applied rigorous, bespoke statistical models to assess the effect of Bd infection on mortality. Upon the recognition of imperfect pathogen detection in the Bd sampling protocols, I developed a novel extension to multistate models to propagate this uncertainty into the ecological inference. Chapter 3 reports on a four-year mark-recapture study on adults across three sites, where I show that Bd infection intensity, and not infection status, is an important predictor of mortality, but that populations remain stable despite infections. Chapter 4 details the development of a novel multievent model to account for imperfect pathogen detection, where I show that infection dynamics parameters are severely biased in traditional models. In Chapter 5, I report the findings of a four-month mark-recapture study on juveniles—the first of its kind—where I found that this life stage of M. fleayi is not more vulnerable to chytridiomycosis than adults, in contrast to results reported in previous literature. In Chapter 6, I assessed the seasonal patterns of Bd infections in tadpoles at two independent streams and investigated the effect of infection on mouthpart abnormalities. Finally, the general discussion provides an integrated assessment of the response of M. fleayi to Bd, where I suggest continued persistence is likely and that other recovered species can potentially follow similar trajectories. This project represents a significant contribution to the literature of post-epizootic species recovery. Additionally, the statistical methods presented herein are considered an important methodological advance for improved inference on infection prevalence and dynamics in a wide range of disease systems.

description: Radar sensors become typical components for automotive driver assistance systems and autonomous driving. The widespread use of this sensor type leads to an increasing risk of unwanted interferences. Those interferences can severely degrade the detection performance and cause sensor blindness. To overcome this problem, this paper describes a method to estimate and remove interfering signals in data of chirp sequence modulated radars. The estimation is derived theoretically and applied on simulation and measurement data.

description: Indirect carbothermal reduction of alumina for the production of aluminum utilizes different reducing agents to convert alumina into intermediate aluminum compounds. In the present study, the carbosulfidation route for aluminum production utilizing H2S(g) as the reductant and sulfur source has been investigated, in particular the formation of Al2S3 in the first step of the process. The results of the thermodynamic analysis predicted that conversion of Al2O3(s) to Al2S3(l) significantly increases above 1400°C at 1 atmosphere pressure. Experimental investigations were carried out at temperatures of 1100 to 1500°C using dilute H2S(g) gas in argon. The reaction products were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), inductively-coupled plasma absorption emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES) and chemical filtration. The X-ray diffraction results confirmed the presence of Al2S3(s). Percentage of conversion from Al2O3to Al2S3 was found to be over 80% at 1500°C.

Conclusioni.ABSTRACT: The essay describes the historical and political context, as well as the law production in Canton Ticino during the first half of the nineteenth-century, which will lead to the Civil Ecclesiastical Law of 1855. The article is structured in two parts. The first part deals with the historical period between 1803 and 1829 and is divided into four sections: from the Act of Mediation to the project of the Civil Ecclesiastical Statute of 1819; the Constitution of 1830; the predominance of liberal ideas and the anti-ecclesiastical measures from 1848 to 1855. The second part is entirely dedicated to the Civil Ecclesiastical Law of 1855 – peak of the historical political process described in the first part – and to the analysis of its origin and the contents from the 1852 bill. The development procedure, the purpose and the kernel of the Law, specifically the government placet, are particularly stressed.

description: The Amazon floodplains consist of lakes and inundated forests covering an area of approximately 840,000 km2. This thesis measured sediment accretion and carbon burial rates in the past century on the Amazon floodplains, through the 210Pb and plutonium sediment dating methodology, and compared these values to the CO2 and CH4 emissions rates. The carbon burial results in this thesis indicate a total carbon accumulation of 32 Tg yr-1 for the Amazon floodplains. Therefore this research will contribute to a better understanding of the carbon budget in the Amazon floodplains, which is significant to the global carbon cycle.

These guidelines are distributed in paper form, complicating their use at the point-of-care. We have developed a framework for building advanced clinical guideline applications for the Android mobile phone OS. The framework transfers clinical guidelines into a flexible and interactive electronic format using an XML interpreter. The resulting application supports intuitive navigation of guidelines while assessing the patient, easy integration of patient management tools, and logging of performed assessments and treatments. The novel approach transforms clinical guidelines from a mere paper dictionary into a working tool that integrates into the daily workflow of community health workers and simplifies their task at the care and administrative levels.

description: We investigate a novel design for all-solid large mode area (LMA) leakage channel fibers (LCFs) for high-power Yb-doped fiber lasers and amplifiers, based on a single down-doped-silica rod ring surrounding a seven-cell pure-silica core, aiming for effectively single-mode behavior and low bending loss characteristics. Through detailed numerical simulations based on the finite element method (FEM), we find that the proposed all-solid LMA-LCFs, having a seven-cell core and two different sizes of down-doped rods, can achieve sufficient differential mode loss and much lower bending loss, as compared with a previously-reported LCF with a one-cell core and six large down-doped-silica rods.

It highlights how the United Sections of the Court defines this legal guarantee, granted by lateran Treaty to the central entities of the Catholic Church, in terms of “functional or restricted immunity” according to international law, so that - the Court adds - its basic foundation in the Italian constitution lies both in Article 7 (State-Church relations) and in Art. 10, concerning the automatic effect of the general international norms in the Italian system of law. Furthermore, the paper makes some relevant remarks about the main aspects and actual evolution of the doctrine of sovereign “immunity” through some recent judgements of italian law Courts. Then it underlines some emerging differences in its application - through Art. 11, Lat. Treaty - to the central entities of the Catholic Church, deriving from the special recognition of the “sovereignty of the Holy See in international matters” (Art. 2, Lat. Treaty). Finally it makes some concluding remarks about the actual meaning of this legal guarantee, taking the 2009 Monetary Agreement between the European Union and the Vatican City State into consideration too.

description: Entrepreneurship and growth are driving forces in the development of emerging economic systems. In this exploratory study we discuss emerging economies within a South-East Asia context. In particular, we expand on a previous study on the East Asian Tiger economies, and introduce the mini-dragon economies of Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Philippines. We explore the role of various economic indicators and indices, entrepreneurship and SMEs as drivers of growth in these emerging economies. Growth factors unique to the region are also identified, and institutional and government interventions are recommended. Furthermore, we elaborate on the interdependence of the entire region on each of the mini-dragon economies. Since we have highlighted only a few of the emerging economies in the region, opportunities exist to expand the base for further study.

description: The potential of multiparametric quantitative neuroimaging has been extensively discussed as a diagnostic tool in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). In the past, the integration of multimodal, quantitative data into a useful diagnostic classifier was a major challenge. With recent advances in the field, machine learning in a data driven approach is a potential solution: neuroimaging biomarkers in ALS are mainly observed in the cerebral microstructure, with diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and texture analysis as promising approaches. We set out to combine these neuroimaging markers as age-corrected features in amachine learningmodel with a cohort of 502 subjects, divided into 404 patients with ALS and 98 healthy controls. We calculated a linear support vector classifier (SVC) which is a very robust model and then verified the results with a multilayer perceptron (MLP)/neural network. Both classifiers were able to separate ALS patients from controls with receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves showing an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.87–0.88 (“good”) for the SVC and 0.88–0.91 (“good” to “excellent”) for the MLP. Among the coefficients of the SVC, texture data contributed the most to a correct classification. We consider these results as a proof of concept that demonstrated the power of machine learning in the application of multiparametric quantitative neuroimaging data to ALS.

description: Background: Pediatric low-grade gliomas (PLGG) are the most frequent brain tumors in children. Up to 50% will be refractory to conventional chemotherapy. It is now known that the majority of PLGG have activation of the MAPK/ERK pathway. The same pathway is also activated in plexiform neurofibromas (PNs) which are low-grade tumors involving peripheral nerves in patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). These lesions are known to be refractory to chemotherapy. Specific MEK inhibitors such as trametinib are now available and have been approved for other cancers harboring mutations in the MAPK/ERK pathway such as melanoma. We have observed significant responses to trametinib in patients with refractory PLGG in our institutions and results from the phase I study are promising. The treatment appears not only efficacious but is also usually well tolerated. We hypothesize that we will observe responses in the majority of refractory PLGG and PN treated with trametinib in this phase 2 study. Methods: The primary objective is to determine the objective response rate of trametinib as a single agent for treatment of progressing/refractory tumors with MAPK/ERK pathway activation. The TRAM-01 study is a phase II multicentric open-label basket trial including four groups. Group 1 includes NF1 patients with progressing/refractory glioma. Group 2 includes NF1 patients with plexiform neurofibroma. Group 3 includes patients with progressing/refractory glioma with KIAA1549-BRAF fusion. Group 4 includes other patients with progressing/refractory glioma with activation of the MAPK/ERK pathway. Eligible patients for a given study group will receive daily oral trametinib at full dose for a total of 18 cycles of 28 days. A total of 150 patients will be enrolled in seven Canadian centers. Secondary objectives include the assessment of progression-free survival, overall survival, safety and tolerability of trametinib, serum levels of trametinib and evaluation of quality of life during treatment. Discussion: Trametinib will allow us to target directly and specifically the MAPK/ERK pathway. We expect to observe a significant response in most patients. Following our study, trametinib could be integrated into standard treatment of PLGG and PN. Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03363217 December 6, 2017.
