description: The interest in developing new drug carriers for delivery to the liver using natural polysaccharides with a high galactose content has necessitated the study of the pharmacokinetics and tissue distribution of these polysaccharides. In this paper, a new method was established for the microanalysis of Angelica sinensis polysaccharide (ASP) in biosamples. Fluorescein-labelled ASP (FA) was rapidly eliminated from the bloodstream and distributed to the liver with high specificity following intravenous injection. The analysis of the hepatocellular localization demonstrated that FA was predominantly endocytosed by the parenchymal cells, an observation consistent with the results obtained from microscopy studies. Additionally, FA showed a high affinity for asialoglycoprotein receptor-rich cells, while minimal binding of FA to asialoglycoprotein receptor-poor cells was observed. Moreover, the absorption of FA was markedly inhibited by the co-administration of neogalactosylalbumin (NGA) both in vivo and in vitro. To allow for the visualization of the systemic circulation of ASP, 99mTc-DTPA-ASP was synthesized and in vivo imaging was performed with single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). It also showed a high aggregation of 99mTc-DTPA-ASP in liver. These results suggest that the distribution of ASP to the liver occurs via asialoglycoprotein receptor (ASGPR) mediated endocytosis and ASP could potentially be applied as a new carrier for delivering drugs to the liver.

description: Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT) is an emerging frontier based on the deep fusion of Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies. Although advanced deep learning techniques enhance the efficient data processing and intelligent analysis of complex IoT data, they still suffer from notable challenges when deployed to practical AIoT applications, such as constrained resources, and diverse task requirements. Knowledge transfer is an effective method to enhance learning performance by avoiding the exorbitant costs associated with data recollection and model retraining. Notably, although there are already some valuable and impressive surveys on transfer learning, these surveys introduce approaches in a relatively isolated way and lack the recent advances of various knowledge transfer techniques for AIoT field. This survey endeavors to introduce a new concept of knowledge transfer, referred to as Crowd Knowledge Transfer (CrowdTransfer), which aims to transfer prior knowledge learned from a crowd of agents to reduce the training cost and as well as improve the performance of the model in real-world complicated scenarios. Particularly, we present four transfer modes from the perspective of crowd intelligence, including derivation, sharing, evolution and fusion modes. Building upon conventional transfer learning methods, we further delve into advanced crowd knowledge transfer models from three perspectives for various AIoT applications. Furthermore, we explore some applications of AIoT areas, such as human activity recognition, urban computing, multi-robot system, and smart factory. Finally, we discuss the open issues and outline future research directions of knowledge transfer in AIoT community.

description: Emergent hydrophytes Acorus calamus, Typha latifolia and Phragmites karka and epiphytic root bacteria isolated from their rhizoplanes were exposed to atrazine (5 mg l−1 and 10 mg l−1) individually and in plant‒bacterium combination for 15 days hydroponically. It was observed that A. calamus‒Pseudomonas sp. strain ACB combination was best in decontamination, showing 91% and 87% removal of 5 mg l−1 and 10 mg l−1 atrazine. Plant‒bacterium association led to significant increase in atrazine decontamination as compared to decontamination by either plant or bacterium alone indicating synergistic action of the hydrophytes and isolates which led to enhanced atrazine removal. To the best of our knowledge this is the first report on the potential of plant-bacterium combinations for atrazine decontamination. The isolates showed augmented growth in the presence of plants and were able to alleviate atrazine stress in them. These isolates exhibited plant growth promoting traits such as auxin, siderophore, PHB/succinogycan, ammonia, catalase production and solubilization of inorganic phosphate in vitro. Use of plant‒bacterium mutualistic symbiosis for atrazine mitigation is a relatively simple, inexpensive and clean technique and this phytoremediation‒rhizoremediation combination is suggested to be tried on field to establish their potential for clean-up of contaminated sites.

description: Since the 1980s, the scale and growth of social expenditure has come into question in most industrial nations. The large share of this expenditure devoted to the support of the aged, amidst growing numbers of old and very old people, has put age pensions at the centre of this discussion. At issue is the question of how best to achieve income adequacy among the aged at least cost to government. Should pensions be paid only to those with relatively few resources of their own, so that scarce public funds can go to the people who need them most? Or is it more just, and are pensions more willingly funded, when everyone can expect to get one when they reach the official retirement age? The choice between universal and selective (means-tested) benefits is a classic question in social policy, made newly relevant by the restructuring of western welfare states in the 1980s and 1990s. This report examines this issue in a comparative analysis of income support for the aged in six countries whose systems give varying weight to the principles of universality and selectivity. The countries included, in addition to Australia, are Germany, Norway, Sweden, the United Kingdom and the United States.

Propusemos hipóteses de trabalho segundo as quais o discurso dos seminaristas poderia refletir tanto a influência de agentes clássicos de socialização religiosa, como a família e a comunidade paroquial, como elementos mais subjetivos relacionados com a ideia de vocação para o sacerdócio. Os resultados indicaram a presença desses fatores e mostraram que os motivos relacionados com a vocação sacerdotal e a vontade de servir a Deus e a Igreja aparecem como mais importantes do que a influência da família ou de outros significativos.

title: Structural Dynamics of Dispersed Titania During Dehydration and Oxidative Dehydrogenation Studied by In Situ UV Raman Spectroscopy
Creators: name: Waleska, Philipp
name: Hess, Christian
Publisher: name: Springer
Year: 2024

description: The structural dynamics of dispersed titania, i.e., silica supported titania, is investigated during dehydration and oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) of ethanol using optical spectroscopy. UV Raman spectroscopy enabling resonance enhancements proves to be a valuable tool to identify Ti–OH, Ti–O–Si, and Ti–O–Ti groups. Upon dehydration, a transformation of Ti–OH into Ti–O–Si and Ti–O–Ti groups is observed. Two types of Ti–OH vibrations (isolated, geminal) are identified at around 700 and 800 cm⁻¹ in agreement with theoretical models. Dispersed titania is catalytically active in ethanol ODH with a performance comparable to dispersed vanadia. In situ UV Raman spectra reveal a consumption of Ti–O–Ti, Ti–O–Si, and Ti–OH groups during ethanol adsorption to the titania surface. The presented results are consistent with an ODH reaction mechanism involving a structural transformation of oligomerized or closely neighbored monomeric TiOₓ structures. The relevance of the proposed mechanism is discussed in the context of other supported transition metal oxide catalysts.

description: Introduction: Treatment methods of anterior urethral strictures in adults have undergone considerable changes in the recent past. Our goal was to determine national practice patterns among German urologists and to compare results with the results of prior international surveys. Methods:We conducted a survey on the management of urethral strictures among German urologists. Results: Eight hundred forty-five urologists, representing about 14.6% of German urologists, answered the survey. Most common procedures were direct vision internal urethrotomy (DVIU; 87.2%), blind internal urethrotomy (57.5%), dilatation (56.3%), ventral buccal mucosa graft urethroplasty (31.6%) and excision and primary anastomosis (28.9%). In case of a 3.5-cm bulbar stricture and in the case of a 1-cm bulbar stricture after 2 failed DVIUs, a consecutive urethroplasty was significantly more often favoured compared to transurethral treatment options (44.9 vs. 21.3% and 59.4 vs. 8.3%, both p < 0.001). Conclusion: Open urethral reconstruction reveals to be a more common method in practice nowadays. Adherence to recommended treatment algorithms improved in comparison to prior surveys.

FEATURES OF DOGMATIC THEOLOGY IN TRADITIONAL (SUNNISM) ISLAM
Creators: name: Sagdiev, Khabibullo
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: This article highlights the features of dogmatic theology (ilmu-l-akaid) from the point of view of representatives of traditional (Sunni) Islam. It conveys information that the main sources of dogmatic theology, which can be cited as an argument, from the point of view of representatives of traditional Islam are the Qurʾān, Sunnah and decisions of righteous ancestors (al-salafu-s-salihun). In addition, the article lists 10 features of dogmatic theology that are illuminated according to arguments from the sacred sources of Islam. The early and late representatives of “ahlu-s-sunna wa-l-djama`a” in the preparation of theological treatises paid much attention to the above features. Besides, the article cites as an example the words of one of the first eponyms of traditional Islam - Abū Ḥanīfa and his treatise “al-Fikh Al-akbar”.
Household Income Sharing, Joint Consumption and the Expenditure Patterns of Australian Retired Couples and Single People
Creators: name: Bradbury, Bruce
Publisher: name: UNSW Sydney
Year: 1996

description: What level of household income is required so that a household member will have the same level of consumption as when living alone? The answer to this question depends on the extent to which household income is directed towards the consumption needs of the particular person, together with the extent to which there is shared consumption of household goods. This paper proposes a framework which permits data and assumptions obtained from several sources to be used together to identify these different relationships. This framework is applied to estimate the intra-household distribution of income and the economies of sharing for Australian married couples over retirement age. The main conclusions of the paper are that income is shared relatively evenly (and the hypothesis of equal sharing cannot be rejected), and that on average couples require about one and half times the income of singles to reach the same living standard. This suggests that current Australian pension payments to singles are relatively too low.

description: This paper analyses whether international migrants contribute to increasing technological advances in developing countries by inducing a transfer of productive knowledge from developed countries back to migrants’ home countries. Using the Economic Complexity Index as a proxy for the amount of productive knowledge embedded in each countries and bilateral migrant stocks of 20 OECD destination countries, we show that international migration is a strong channel of technological transmission. Diasporas foster the local adoption of new technologies by connecting high technology countries with low ones, reducing the uncertainty surrounding their profitability. Our empirical results support the hypothesis that technological transfers are more likely to occur out of more technologically advanced destinations and when emigration rates are particularly high.
Recent Trends in the Size and Growth of Government in OECD Countries

description: Developments in the size of government in GECD nations over the last two decades have differed markedly from 'the generally steady rise in the relative size of the government sector during the 1950s and 1960s. This paper discusses the nature and limitations of measures of the size of government before proceeding to examine trends in the size of government in GECD nations through the 1970s and 1980s. After examining aggregate trends, the paper turns to looking at how the structure of government has changed. The findings for different nations are compared and contrasted and the patterns and trends related to social, economic and political factors. The analysis reveals that overall differences in government outlays between countries can largely be explained by differences in the level of spending on transfer payments.

description: Background: Drug rash with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS), also known as drug-induced hypersensitivity syndrome, is characterized by severe drug-induced reactions with extensive cutaneous lesions and visceral involvement. Although T cell-mediated hypersensitivity reactions to drugs may be involved in the pathogenesis of DRESS, there is limited data regarding the T-cell phenotypes responsible for the pathogenesis of DRESS. Objective and Methods: Using flow cytometry, we investigated the cytokine profiles and cutaneous lymphocyte antigen (CLA) expression in circulating T cells in patients with DRESS. Results: The proportions of circulating IL-4- and IL-13-producing CD4+ T cells, but not CD8+ T cells, were significantly higher in patients with DRESS during the active stage of the disease than in healthy subjects, and these proportions declined during the recovery stage. No differences in the proportions of circulating IFN-γ-, IL-17-, and IL-22-producing CD4+ and CD8+ T cells were observed between patients with DRESS and healthy subjects. A strong correlation between the proportion of IL-13-producing CD4+ T cells and serum levels of thymus and activation-regulated chemokine was observed. The proportion of CLA-expressing CD4+ T cells was significantly higher during the active stage of the disease. Moreover, the proportion of IL-13-producing CD4+ T cells was higher in the CLA+ subset than in the CLA- subset. Conclusions: Skin-homing IL-13-producing CD4+ T cells may be involved in the pathogenesis of DRESS.
Assessing the Quality and Inter-temporal Comparability of ABS Household Income Distribution Survey Data

description: The Australian Bureau of Statistics has conducted numerous surveys that are used to analyse poverty and the distribution of income amongst Australian households. Confidentialised unit record data for those surveys held since 1975 are available for the use and scrutiny of researchers. Recently, concerns have arisen over the reliability of these data to represent the circumstances of the population, and especially changes therein over time. This paper examines the quality and inter-temporal comparability of these survey data by comparing aggregates derived from the surveys to external data such as official population estimates, labour force data, the National Accounts and administrative data. We summarise the major changes to the survey data in an Appendix. Issues discussed include mis-reporting of income, and differences in scope, weighting procedures, definitions and collection methodology. The analysis suggests that uncritical use of the data may give rise to flawed estimates of the extent of poverty and inequality in Australia and how these have changed over time. There is scope to improve the comparability of the survey data, and the SPRC is pursuing this task in partnership with the ABS.

description: Social care policies for frail elderly people and other people with disabilities are based on the notion that people who need such support should be able to live an independent life in their own homes for as long as possible and should only have to move to residential care when care at home is no longer a feasible option. It is now recognised that the continuing support of vulnerable people at home relies very heavily on care provided by unpaid and informal carers, often family members, supplemented by domiciliary and community-based services. In recent years there has been a burgeoning research literature, both in Australia and overseas, identifying the role of carers and the range of issues associated with caregiving. Amongst these, gender, ageing, employment, and psychological burden and stress are the most prominent. This annotated bibliography was undertaken as part of the Social Policy Research Centre's portfolio research program funded in 1992-93 by the Department of Health, Housing, Local Government and Community Services (now the Department of Human Services and Health). The financial support provided by that Department has been important in allowing the Centre to further extend its research into community services policy. This bibliography is part of a broader project entitled A Meta-Analysis of Australian Research on Informal Care, the aim of which is to bring together, for the first time, Australian and selected overseas research on informal caregiving for elderly people and adults with disabilities.

description: Objectives: The aim of this study was to derive longitudinal reference values of fetal growth (estimated fetal weight [EFW] and abdominal circumference [AC]) during the third trimester and to develop coefficients for conditional growth assessment. Patients and Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted involving consecutive singleton pregnancies in a low-risk population for a routine third-trimester scan at 30+0-34+6 weeks and follow-up at 37+0-38+6 weeks for an additional ultrasound. Statistical analysis was based on multilevel modeling using MLwiN software. Unconditional centiles were calculated from z-values at each gestational age, and conditional centiles were calculated from z-values at a given measurement (30-34 weeks) and the expected measurement (37-38 weeks). Results: At 30-34 weeks, 8 and 9.3% of the fetuses had an unconditional EFW below the 10th and above the 90th centile, respectively. At 37-38 weeks, these figures were 10.3 and 9.3%, respectively. Regarding the unconditional AC, at the first scan, 8.9 and 9.6% had values below the 10th and above the 90th centile, while at the second scan 10.5 and 10.5% had values below the 10th and above the 90th centile, respectively. The proportion with a conditional EFW below the 10th and above the 90th centile was 10.2 and 9.4% at the second scan, respectively. For conditional AC, these figures were 10.7 and 10.3%, respectively. Conclusion: We have produced reference centiles for EFW and AC growth during the third trimester as a useful tool for quantifying growth.

description: This report summarises the symposium and workshop regarding the future of semi-natural pastures in Sweden, held in Jönköping March 8-9th 2017.

The first day consisted of a symposium where presentations and subsequent discussions were based on three main topics:
- What are the motives for continued management of semi-natural pastures?
- What are the attitudes of different actors to these motives in relation to agricultural benefits?
- What are the actions needed to ensure sustainable future use of semi-natural pastures?

On the second day, three parallel workshops were held allowing for the topics from day one to be discussed more thoroughly. The workshop sessions were divided into three themes:
1. The Design of Future Subsidy Systems
2. Future and Alternative Management Methods
3. Information and Communication

The purpose of this report is to compile all the thoughts, ideas and suggestions that emerged from the workshop, regarding potential measures that could be implemented to ensure the future sustainable management of semi-natural pastures in Sweden. The report first summarises the presentations from the first day of the meeting to provide context to the feedback received from participating stakeholders.

description: Os novos modelos de educação superior têm por finalidade reparar as injustiças históricas em relação aos grupos sociais excluídos e marginalizados pelos processos de colonização e neocolonização. Com base nesse cenário, propõe-se nesse projeto uma análise dos documentos institucionais da Universidad Andina Simón Bolívar (UASB), visando encontrar nesses documentos, indícios de adoção de novas formas de conhecimento e novas formas de autonomia do processo de geração do conhecimento cientifico local. Justifica-se, pela necessidade de estabelecer uma análise em torno dos processos de redemocratização dos países da América Latina, e assim retratar uma nova perspectiva social de natureza educativa. Este projeto é parte integrante do programa de Iniciação Científica da Universidade Nove de Julho, vinculado à pesquisa mais ampla intitulada “Fundamentos e horizontes epistemológicos dos processos de internacionalização e inclusão da diversidade cultural e epistemológica ao nível da educação superior no Brasil e outros países da América Latina: Argentina, Brasil, Bolívia, Equador e Venezuela.”

title: Thermodynamisch konsistente FE-Simulation des Ermüdungsrissfortschritts unter Berücksichtigung zyklischer Plastizitätseffekte und der Mechanik materieller Kräfte
Creators: name: Panic, Darko
Publisher: name: UNSPECIFIED
Year: 2024

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit befasst sich mit der Weiterentwicklung von numerischen Methoden zur Lebensdauerbewertung von zyklisch belasteten Strukturen durch die Anwendung der Mechanik der konfigurellen oder materiellen Kräfte. Im Rahmen der Arbeit wird ein Konzept zur Durchführung einer thermodynamisch-konsistenten Finite Elemente Simulation des Ermüdungsrissfortschritts erarbeitet und vorgestellt. Im Fokus steht die Verwendung von elastisch-plastischen Werkstoffmodellen zur Erfassung der relevanten Feldgrößen in der elastisch-plastischen Bruchmechanik. Durch die Anwendung der inkrementellen Plastizitätstheorie wird das transiente Werkstoffverhalten von metallischen Strukturen unter zyklischer Belastung berücksichtigt. Eine zentrale Rolle nimmt hierbei die Bestimmung und Erweiterung des zyklischen J-Integrals, unter Einbeziehung der physikalischen Bilanzgleichungen und der Mechanik materieller Kräfte, ein. Besonderes Augenmerk liegt auf der Einbeziehung des Phänomens des Rissschließens in Verbindung mit der numerischen Berechnung des Rissspitzenparameters. Der effektive Anteil des zyklischen Rissspitzenparameters wird mit Hilfe eines programmierten Rissschließalgorithmus bestimmt. Des Weiteren befähigt das FE-Berechnungskonzept zur präziseren Bewertung des Rissstopp- bzw. Rissarresteffektes bei druckeigenspannungsbehafteten Strukturen. Ein hybrides Optimierungsverfahren wird zur Parameteridentifikation von elastisch-plastischen Werkstoffmodellen vorgestellt und angewendet. Das Optimierungsprogramm vereint die Stärken eines globalen Verfahrens in Form des implementierten Differential-Evolution-Algorithmus und des lokalen Verfahrens basierend auf dem Nelder-Mead-Algorithmus. Resultierend aus den Ergebnissen der Parameteridentifikation und der anschließenden Definition des elastisch-plastischen Werkstoffmodells können die bruchmechanischen Feldgrößen realistischer bestimmt werden.
Abschließend werden Ergebnisse des numerischen Bruchmechanikverfahrens mit einer konventionellen FE-Rissfortschrittsmethode anhand von Berechnungsbeispielen verglichen und diskutiert. Die Ergebnisse der numerischen Lebensdauerbewertung von Bauteilproben zeigen eine gute Übereinstimmung mit den experimentellen Resultaten.

description: Numerous organisms integrate information from multiple sources and express adaptive behaviours, but how they do so at different developmental stages remains to be identified. Seeds, which are the embryonic stage of plants, need to make decisions about the timing of emergence in response to environmental cues related to survival. We investigated the timing of emergence of Plantago asiatica (Plantaginaceae) seed while manipulating the presence of Trifolium repens seed and the relatedness of neighbouring P. asiatica seed. The relatedness of neighbouring P. asiatica seed and the presence of seeds of T. repens did not on their own influence the timing of P. asiatica emergence. However, when encountering a T. repens seed, a P. asiatica seed emerged faster in the presence of a sibling seed than in the presence of a non-sibling seed. Water extracts of seeds gave the same result. We show that P. asiatica seeds integrate information about the relatedness of neighbouring P. asiatica seeds and the presence of seeds of a different species via water-soluble chemicals and adjust their emergence behaviour in response. These findings suggest the presence of kin-dependent interspecific interactions.

description: This paper is not a research paper. It is only a working paper. Perhaps it could best be described as two researchers thinking aloud, trying to sort out what we know, what we do not know, what areas we ought to explore, the context within which issues might develop, and what general questions ought to be asked. The sections of the paper are all self-contained. Section I raises value and policy issues in introducing the paper. Section II provides a profile of Australia's elderly population. Section III raises and analyses some of the contemporary issues in Australian social gerontology. Section IV discusses some of the values which will shape outputs and outcomes. Section V describes and analyses income and services presently available. Section VI discusses political power of the elderly. Section VII summarises the issues and points to research questions, some of which will be taken up in the very near future.

description: Colonization of islands often activate a complex chain of adaptive events that, over a relatively short evolutionary time, may drive strong shifts in body size, a pattern known as the Island Rule. It is arguably difficult to perform a direct analysis of the natural selection forces behind such change in body size. Here, we used quantitative evolutionary genetic models, coupled with simulations and pattern-oriented modelling, to analyse the evolution of brain and body size in Homo floresiensis, a diminutive hominin species that appeared around 700 kya and survived up to relatively recent times (60–90 kya) on Flores Island, Indonesia. The hypothesis of neutral evolution was rejected in 97% of the simulations, and estimated selection gradients are within the range found in living natural populations. We showed that insularity may have triggered slightly different evolutionary trajectories for body and brain size, which means explaining the exceedingly small cranial volume of H. floresiensis requires additional selective forces acting on brain size alone. Our analyses also support previous conclusions that H. floresiensis may be most likely derived from an early Indonesian H. erectus, which is coherent with currently accepted biogeographical scenario for Homo expansion out of Africa.

Reflections on the Review of the Home and Community Care Program
Creators: name: Saunders, Peter
Publisher: name: UNSW Sydney

Subjects: Home and Community Care Program

description: The First Triennial Review of Home and Community Care (HACC) Program was released in early 1989. This paper discusses the main thrust of some of the recommendations made in that Review, specifically those relating to program administration, planning and user rights. The discussion of these issues and how the HACC Review addressed them is preceded by a summary of the general demographic, economic and policy context within which the HACC program was introduced and has evolved. The final section of the paper addresses two issues that are of longer-run relevance to the development of the HACC Program, the first relating to the role of carers in the program and the second the broad question of costs and who should bear them.
