description: Solar photovoltaics (PV) are emerging as a major alternative energy source. The cost of PV electricity depends on the efficiency of conversion of light to electricity. Despite of steady growth in the efficiency for several decades, little has been achieved to reduce the impact of real-world operating temperatures on this efficiency. Here we demonstrate a highly efficient cooling solution to the recently emerging high performance plasmonic solar cell technology by integrating an advanced nano-coated heat-pipe plate. This thermal cooling technology, efficient for both summer and winter time, demonstrates the heat transportation capability up to ten times higher than those of the metal plate and the conventional wickless heat-pipe plates. The reduction in temperature rise of the plasmonic solar cells operating under one sun condition can be as high as 46%, leading to an approximate 56% recovery in efficiency, which dramatically increases the energy yield of the plasmonic solar cells. This newly-developed, thermally-managed plasmonic solar cell device significantly extends the application scope of PV for highly efficient solar energy conversion.

description: Amore è musica, osserva Massimiliano Stramaglia nel suo ultimo lavoro, teso a indagare gli aspetti di più intima complessità dell’esperienza musicale e i suoi stringenti legami con i domini dell’educazione. Dialogando con i principi fondanti del Personalismo Pedagogico e aprendosi a una scrittura che dà voce al pensiero evocativo e rammemorante di Martin Heidegger, l’Autore coglie l’essenza della musica nel suo continuo costituirsi come sfondo: dimora d’autenticità esistenziale, luogo di possibile raccoglimento in sé stessi e di concentrazione privilegiata, nel quale l’individuo, forte del suo farsi persona, può sperimentare la propria vicinanza all’essere.

description: ObjectiveIn medical education, biochemistry topics are usually knowledge based, and students often are unaware of their clinical relevance. To improve students’ awareness of the relevance, we integrated communication skills training into biochemistry education. No studies before have examined the difference between peer and standardised patient (SP) role plays where students explain the biochemical background of a disease in patient-centred language. Therefore, we evaluated whether students’ self-perceived competency in Canadian Medical Education Directives for Specialists (CanMEDS) roles and their opinion of the quality of role play differ if the layperson is played by peers or SPs.MethodsWe randomly assigned medical students in a preclinical semester to one of the two groups. The groups used predefined scripts to role play a physician–parent consultation with either a peer (peer group) or an SP (SP group) in the parent role. Students then assessed the activity’s effects on their competency in CanMEDS roles and motivation and the relevance of the role play. To determine whether students achieved biochemistry learning goals, we evaluated results of a biochemistry exam.ResultsStudents’ self-perceived competency improved in both groups. The SP group rated their competency in the roles ‘Scholar’ and ‘Professional’ significantly higher than the peer group did. The peer group rated their competency in the role of ‘Medical Expert’ significantly higher if they played the role of the parent rather than physician or observer. The SP group agreed more that they were motivated by the role play and wanted to receive more role play-based teaching. The SP group perceived the role play as being realistic and rated the feedback discussion as more beneficial. The examination results were the same in both groups.ConclusionWe showed that role plays in a biochemistry seminar improve students’ self-perceived competency. The use of SPs has some advantages, such as being more realistic.

The use of reason in Karl Barth.
Creators: name: Wilson, Gerry I.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: Philosophy.

description: Karl Barth is the foremost Protestant theologian of the twentieth century. He is often derided as a fideist, and an enemy of reason, and, by implication, of truth. The burden of this thesis is to overturn this assumption concerning Barth's thought, by exhibiting the rationality which sustains his enormous body of published writing. I claim that for Barth reason is most powerful when it is about the theological task of finding the limits of reason's reach. Reason shows us its own limits in attempting to think the origin of all things, and thus of itself. I argue that Barth boldly affirms the necessity and integrity of empirical rationality, but that this mode of reasoning is limited from outside of itself in the effort to think the ground of both empirical reality and its own power to understand that reality. The reality of God, in Barth's Christian understanding God, shows the necessity and insufficiency of reason. Reason is necessary as the principle of unity in human experience, but it is insufficient in that it cannot comprehend, and so rationally integrate, the reality which God is. God transcends and is different from all acts in which we claim to know God. The recognition of this is not the end of reason, but its beginning as wisdom. I argue this thesis by a study of the two works which mark the fundamental turning points of Barth's intellectual development: his Commentary on the Epistle to the Romans (1921) and his Anselm: fides quaerens intellectum (1931). I claim that the basic form of Barthian rationality is dialectical, and that the virtue of Barth's use of reason is in its power to transform external challenges to Christian belief into internal problems for its self understanding. Barth is not opposed to reason, but uses reason to fashion a coherent interpretation of reality.

Targeting Tumour Vasculature with Oncolytic Viruses

description: Oncolytic viruses (OVs) have been engineered or selected for cancer cell-specific infection; however, we have found that following intravenous administration of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV), tumour cell killing rapidly extends far beyond the initial sites of infection. This Bystander Effect is due to the virus’ ability to specifically target tumour vasculature through tumour-specific infection of tumour endothelium and the induction of an inflammatory response resulting in tumour-restricted coagulation, acute vascular disruption, apoptosis and necrosis of the tumour core. VSV-infected tumours, reconstructed in three-dimensions from serial histological sections, revealed that the majority of the tumour mass lacks significant blood flow in contrast to uninfected tumours, which exhibit relatively uniform perfusion. VSV infection rapidly induced intravascular coagulation within 6 hours of intravenous administration. The induction of coagulation was dependent on neutrophils and could be prevented with inhibitors of the coagulation pathway. Normal vasculature was not infected by VSV and no increase in coagulation was observed. Vascular collapse was also observed with the oncolytic poxvirus, JX-594, in patients and preclinical models. Biopsies from patients enrolled in a dose escalation trial for JX-594 were immunoreactive for vaccinia antigens and transgene products in high dose cohorts. Tumour-associated vessels from patients treated with JX-594 were infected with JX-594 and expressed virally encoded transgenes. A decrease in blood flow was also observed 5 days post infection. Several viruses, VSV, JX-594, vvDD, Maraba, and Sindbis, were able to rapidly induce widespread bystander cell death in a subset of mouse models. Tumours responded to OV therapy in three ways, and the type of response was determined by two factors - susceptibility to infection and the heterogeneity of the tumour microenvironment. Heterogeneity correlated with E-cadherin expression. Among tumours that supported viral replication, cancers with low E-cadherin expression were susceptible to vascular collapse. E-cadherin positive tumours were susceptible to infection and direct cell killing but resistant to vascular disruption or bystander cell death. If poorly-differentiated tumours were resistant to infection, no acute cell killing was observed. These histological subtypes provide a potential framework for the rational selection of patients, the integration of combination therapies and the creation of designer viruses to improve the success of OV therapy.

description: Sodium superionic conductor (NASICON)-type lithium aluminum germanium phosphate (LAGP) has attracted increasing attention as a solid electrolyte for all-solid-state lithium-ion batteries (ASSLIBs), due to the good ionic conductivity and highly stable interface with Li metal. However, it still remains challenging to achieve high density and good ionic conductivity in LAGP pellets by using conventional sintering methods, because they required high temperatures (>800 °C) and long sintering time (>6 h), which could cause the loss of lithium, the formation of impurity phases, and thus the reduction of ionic conductivity. Herein, we report the utilization of a spark plasma sintering (SPS) method to synthesize LAGP pellets with a density of 3.477 g cm-³, a relative high density up to 97.6%, and a good ionic conductivity of 3.29 × 10-⁴ S cm-¹. In contrast to the dry-pressing process followed with high-temperature annealing, the optimized SPS process only required a low operating temperature of 650 °C and short sintering time of 10 min. Despite the least energy and short time consumption, the SPS approach could still achieve LAGP pellets with high density, little voids and cracks, intimate grain–grain boundary, and high ionic conductivity. These advantages suggest the great potential of SPS as a fabrication technique for preparing solid electrolytes and composite electrodes used in ASSLIBs.

The medieval cities were also places in which have been verified numerous and variegated migratory movements that involved all classes: from economic and political elites to more humble components of social stratification. That which is presented in these pages is certainly an exemplary event, symptomatic of a general picture, all things considered, that is contradictory, giving on the one hand evidence of the persistence of phenomena such as the practice of the commerce of slaves, and on the other hand the social ransoming of an “Ethiopian” slave, by means of its inclusion in the ganglia of the Angevin kingdom and the awarding of high profile bureaucratic offices. In the urban framework of Naples in the first half of the Fourteenth century a human story is unraveled that the tangle of literary and documentary sources with architectural persistencies has made possible to reconstruct.

Subjects: subject: Biology, Molecular.

description: Regulation of genetic information occurs through many intricate and varied mechanisms. We have explored two such mechanism, splicing and translation initiation, by studying two kinase families involved in these processes. The work in this thesis represents our ongoing efforts to understand the role of these proteins and the mechanisms by which they work. In the first section of this thesis, we present evidence that the Clk family of kinases are able to influence the regulatory process known as alternative splicing. In the second portion, we discuss PKR, a regulator of protein translation, and demonstrate it to be an essential mediator of antiviral defence. In the final chapter, we consider a possible application of the data from our PKR studies, and propose an oncolytic therapy based on putative defects in regulatory pathways controlling PKR and other members of the IFN pathway.

La filiere formelle ou l'education dispensee dans les institutions scolaires publiques et privees et la filiere non formelle qui est l'education dispensee hors des institutions scolaires. Pour connai tre ce que chacune des deux filieres offre, une etude a ete menee aupres de 47 travailleurs et 43 chomeurs ayant suivi une formation technique professionnelle en filieres formelle et/ou non formelle d'education a l'aide d'un questionnaire ecrit destine a recueillir des informations sur le jugement que portent ces repondants sur leur situation professionnelle, le facon dont ils evaluent leur formation technique professionnelle et les ameliorations qu'ils souhaiteraient voir survenir dans chacune des filieres. 15 chefs d'enterprises privees ont aussi ete sollicites pour avoir une idee du jugement que les employeurs portent sur la formation de leurs employes, sur les problemes d'emploi et les suggestions qu'ils font quant a une eventuelle amelioration de la formation technique professionnelle. Au vu des resultats de cette enquete effectuee a Douala au Cameroun, l'appui massif de l'Etat donne a l'education formelle un certain nombre d'advantages par rapport a la non formelle privee qui ne beneficie d'aucun soutien. Mais la persistance (pour ne pas dire l'aggravation) des problemes economiques de l'Etat vont a long terme faire de l'education non formelle la filiere de l'avenir dans le domaine de la formation technique professionnelle pour le plus grand nombre de citoyens. Pour y arriver il faut une articulation entre l'education formelle et l'education non formelle, pour faire de tout le systeme educatif camerounais une entite formant des personnes capables d'inventer, de creer, de transformer. Cela se ferait par le biais de reformes radicales et une planification coordonnee. Cependent, toute tentative d'evolution sociale par le biais du developpement de l'education doit etre precedee de reformes politiques, economiques et sociales a long terme.

description: Ozone depletion is not only observed in the polar stratosphere, but also near the ground. Bromine species originating from sea salt are released from snow in an auto-catalytic reaction cycle and can then deplete ozone, strongly altering the oxidation capacity of the atmosphere. In this study, ozone depletion events in the Arctic between February and May 2019 are studied using the time-dependent, three-dimensional software Weather Research and Forecasting model coupled with Chemistry (WRF-Chem). Two bromine emission schemes are evaluated: first, infinite releasable bromide is assumed and, second, a scheme with a finite bromide release tracked over time is considered. Good agreement of simulation results with observations from two in-situ measuring stations and from ozone sonde flights is found. The finite bromide assumption dramatically improves the simulation results near Utqiaġvik, Alaska and Churchill, Canada in April whereas in February and March, the numerical results are similar, with a slight overall improvement. An underestimation of ozone depletion near Eureka, Canada in both simulations suggests that multi-year ice and snow-covered land near coasts are possibly better bromide sources than previously anticipated.

description: In adolescent environments there are frequent occurrences of aggressive verbal and physical behaviour regarding homosexuality. In these situations young boys are motivated by a series of complex contributory factors such as difficulty in finding significant adults who are prepared to discuss sexuality; the growth and role of gender; group dynamics – how the perception that power over others is something that guarantees success and immediate social integration; the cultural and social dimension such as the legitimisation of hostility in institutional discourse.  Homophobia in educational contexts can create a series of negative consequences not only for the victims, but also for the perpetrators   who represent  a challenge for teachers and educators. Various forms and examples of homophobia found in social discourse and adolescent behaviour are illustrated here and   possible strategies for intervention are outlined along with proposals aimed at promoting respect for human diversity and mitigating  contempt and dehumanisation.

Austin and Ayer and the role of language in philosophy.
Creators: name: Graham, Delwin John.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2001
Subjects: subject: Philosophy.

description: The aim of this thesis is to study a dispute between J. L. Austin and A. J. Ayer, and in so doing consider the relevance of a linguistic investigation for philosophy. The dispute is confined for the most part to Austin's criticisms of the sense-datum theory, particularly as it has been supported by the argument from illusion, in Sense and Sensibilia (S&S) and Ayer's reply to these in "Has Austin Refuted the Sense-Datum Theory?" (ARS). The argument from illusion is a traditional philosophical argument whereby incidents of non-veridical perception, e.g., the partly immersed stick that looks bent, are taken to support the claim that we do not (directly) perceive material objects, but must perceive something else, i.e., sense-data. In S&S , Austin contends that the argument is typically philosophical because it over-simplifies and misrepresents the facts of ordinary language and normal perception. In ARS, Ayer replies that the argument is essentially philosophical because it is logical and not factual: it shows that the truth of a material object statement is never entailed by the truth of the experiential statement upon which it is based. The Austin-Ayer dispute is best characterized as a clash of philosophical vision, that is, as a conflict about the proper aim and method of a philosophical investigation, and the role of an "analysis of language" for philosophy. This thesis, then, sets out (a) to describe the philosophical vision of Austin and Ayer, (b) to show how the criticisms that are offered by each philosopher are informed by their respective philosophical viewpoints, and (c) to establish that each philosopher presupposes the legitimacy of his own method in criticizing the other. As a result, (d) the arguments that each philosopher makes in defence of his position are seen as begging the question by presuming the validity of the claims that they must establish.

Working Alliance and Functional Outcomes in an Occupational Therapy Intervention: A Cross Case Analysis

Year: 2012
Subjects: Occupational Therapy
Therapeutic Relationship
Working Alliance

description: This is the first known occupational therapy (OT) study to examine the emergent patterns of the client-therapist working alliance during the course of a community-based OT intervention. The experiences of both the adult client and OT in each of four dyads are explored and described as they relate to the evolution of the alliance over time and the impacting contextual factors. These experiences were considered alongside the therapy outcomes. Mixed methods, including quantitative scales and interviews, were used in this multiple-case study situated within a pragmatism paradigm. Individual case and cross case analyses were conducted leading to the identification of eleven cross case themes. These findings suggest that the interpersonal relationship between a client and OT develops with the goal of becoming a safe harbour for the clients. The strengthening interpersonal bond appears to create an impetus within the client to engage in therapeutic activities. This enticed engagement results in the client’s performance of novel activity purposefully selected by the OT as bearing personal meaning for the client. The clients’ engagement often results in enhanced insight into their abilities and meaningful functional gains. This success appears to reinforce and energize both the momentum toward the collaboratively-established therapy goals, as well as provides a positive feedback mechanism into the working alliance. The OT’s training, philosophy and skill, client’s attributes, and environmental influences (both physical and social) all appear to have potential implications upon the working alliance’s development and/or the therapeutic achievements. Further research will be needed to confirm or disconfirm these findings and may include further study with variable client populations (e.g., different ages, different conditions), the role of humour in the therapeutic process, the impact of client’s degree of social isolation on the alliance, as well therapists’ disparate levels of use-of-self and the related impacts upon the alliance.

It analyses national and international reports, bibliographic sources and interviews. The emerging data and experiences confirm the economic relevance of female migration, and above all, the ability to “ give back” in respect to what is being taken. In their countries of origin their remittances contribute in a consistent manner to supporting  deficient general budgets as well as those of their families; in host countries their varied and articulated presence promotes cultural interaction and constitutes an enriching of society as a whole. Migrant women are part of the process of the transformation of global society, they are playing a role in the  complex cultural and contradictory transformations that are taking place: active protanganists in virtue of the their typically feminine potential and resources.

description: Objectives: Considerable evidence has advanced the role of citizen-led coalitions (CLC) in supporting the health and social needs of rural citizens. There has been little research focusing on the experiences and strategies of coalitions, with their limited resources and status, in targeting health inequities in their rural communities. The aim of this study was to understand the entrepreneurial strategies and experiences of rural coalitions to effect change in the delivery of health services for their older adult populations. Method: A qualitative descriptive study method was used to generate understanding of the entrepreneurial experiences and strategies of CLCs in advancing health services to meet the health and social needs of their citizens. Seven diverse CLCs (n = 40) from different rural communities participated in focus groups and in individual and coalition-level surveys. Thematic analysis was used to construct themes from the data. Results: Two over-riding themes emerged: entrepreneurial strategies and societal recognition. CLCs engaged in numerous entrepreneurial strategies that enabled actions and outcomes in meeting their health care needs. These strategies included: securing quick wins, leveraging existing resources, and joining forces with stakeholder groups/individuals. However, despite these strategies and successes, coalitions expressed frustration with not being seen and not being heard by decision-makers. This pointed to a key structural barrier to coalition successes -- a broader societal and institutional problem of failing to recognize not only the health needs of rural citizens, but also the legitimacy of the community coalitions to represent and act on those needs. Conclusions: Despite the potential for coalitions to mobilize and effect change in addressing the inequities of rural health service access for older adults, broader barriers to their recognition, may undermine their entrepreneurial strategies and success.
Workplace identity
Creators: name: Agostino, Joseph
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: There have been a limited number of studies carried out on employee workplace identity. There have been many studies carried out on organizational change; however, they have been carried out mostly from an instrumentalist perspective where the topic of organizational change has been treated in isolation from other aspects of organization. The question of how a relationship exists between employee workplace identity and organizational change has been left unanswered. This thesis applies narrative theory as a conceptual bridge across identity and change. By considering how employees derive a sense of workplace identity from the workplace narratives, and organizational change as the destruction of existing workplace narratives and adoption of new workplace narratives, it is possible to gain new understandings of these concepts. A theory is developed which explains how narrative theory creates a relationship between identity and change. This new theory is further developed to explain how narrative theory creates a relationship between organizational identity, culture, leadership, conflict, and change. The new extended theory is applied to a narrative presentation of empirical data, which offers a powerful explanatory lens for understanding the relationship between these chosen aspects of organization.

description: The present study investigates links between fear of COVID-19, the personality trait of neuroticism, social networks use disorder, and smartphone use disorder (SNUD and SmUD, respectively) tendencies. In an online survey, N = 932 participants recruited at a Chinese University (237 males and 695 females) completed self-reports on fear of COVID-19, neuroticism (and other personality traits from the Big Five Inventory-44), the Bergen Social Media Addiction Scale (assessing tendencies toward SNUD), and the Smartphone Addiction Scale short version—assessing individual differences in tendencies toward SmUD. Our findings showed that all variables of main interest were positively correlated with each other. A mediation model suggested that SNUD (in parts) mediated the association between fear of COVID-19 and SmUD. Although neuroticism was robustly correlated with all mentioned variables, no moderation effect could be observed on the investigated fear-of-COVID-19-SNUD-link. The findings of this work provide further evidence that the smartphone itself is only a device giving individuals access to software applications, which might be excessively used. Beyond that, the present data indicate neuroticism to be a risk factor with respect to fear of COVID-19, SNUD, and SmUD, although the study is limited by its cross-sectional study design.

description: The first comprehensive analysis of surface waters in the Labrador Sea for 236U was completed via Accelerator Mass Spectrometry. Through the analysis of 236U the method for AMS measurement was fine-tuned to allow for more precise results. Surface samples for the anthropogenic isotopes 137Cs and 129I were also collected along with two depth profiles of 129I. Samples were also collected in the Beaufort Sea and analyzed for the aforementioned isotopes. It was found that anthropogenic 129I from reprocessing plants is easily discernible at different concentrations among water bodies in both the Labrador and Beaufort Sea. 137Cs in surface waters is close to global fallout levels with no discernable influence from reprocessing plant inputs, but follows a similar trend to that of 129I with depth in the Beaufort Sea. 236U among surface waters in the Labrador Sea did not follow the same trends as 129I but had concentrations indicative of a mix of global fallout as well as reprocessing plant influenced waters. 236U samples from the Beaufort Sea were contaminated by an unknown source of 236U and were inconclusive but were reproducible and allowed for continued development of the AMS analysis methodology.

description: The objective of this thesis was to develop the required tools to solve a relatively comprehensive telecommunications network design optimisation problem. It can be summarised as a Minimum Cost-Flow Capacitated Network Design Problem with multiple facilities, multiple commodities and constrained by performance and survivability requirements. The resulting optimisation model is supported by one mixed-integer/linear mathematical programming formulation and implemented in a 32-bit GUI-based network design tool for automation purposes. Throughout its developmert, the model was tested and validated with randomly generated design problems. The base case application, from which the design requirements were derived, is the National Defence Headquarters (NDHQ) Metropolitan Area Network (MAN). The area of interest on the NDHQ MAN is the inter-building router backbone, where expensive leased facilities are installed to inter-connect buildings routers. As a result of this thesis, an interactive tool was developed, which provides network design and analysis capabilities. Its impact on the NDHQ MAN was lowered because of the limitations in the data available and significant changes to the network environment, but the results obtained proved very insightful in validating the performance and accuracy of the model.
Gender Education in Italy: from the quality to complexity

description: Moving from an distinction between Gender-Education and Gender-Pedagogy, this paper aims to identify the main joints that have characterized the last forty years of Italian theories and practices in these areas. From the equality to the differences, from the differences to the complexity: this is the itinerary, non-linear, followed by Italian feminists who - although here mentioned only in general terms - are remembered in order to understand the “operability” in the areas of education.

description: Disabled men and women in modern society: a few explored issue in Italy. It is an actual challenge that require to scientific community to rethink the existing theories on the basis of new paradigms such as empowerment, resilience, advocacy and citizenship. This approach may become an ideal setting to suggest new perspectives on the status of women and men with disabilities if it consider at the light of the rights and gender studies. This article aims to define suggestion on the relationship between gender studies and disability studies through selected study cases, particularly for the women.
