description: In our flat world of the 21st century, ever more key policy challenges are embedded in a broader global context while S&T underpin their cause or cure. For knowledge-intensive economies, to effectively engage with S&T in their foreign policy has become a bare necessity to enhance their capacities, science base, outreach, and power. Hence they are well advised to deploy strategies how to best leverage these assets. At the same time, global challenges like climate change and migration, food security and pandemics, to name but a few, call for highly effective international collaboration in S&T to address and hopefully alleviate the many problems that come along with them. S&T have become a crucial part of the global scramble for competitiveness, innovation and excellence, but they also necessitate international cooperation, which offers a wide array of opportunities for resolving conflicts, easing gridlocked relations, and build international understanding.

description: Scientific and clinical interest in extracellular vesicles (EVs) has increased rapidly as evidence mounts that they may constitute a new signaling paradigm. Recent studies have highlighted EVs carry preassembled complex biological information that elicit pleiotropic responses in target cells. It is well recognized that cells secrete essentially two EV subtypes that can be partially separated by differential centrifugation (DC): the larger size class (referred to as “microvesicles” or “shed microvesicles,” sMVs) is heterogeneous (100–1500 nm), while the smaller size class (referred to as “exosomes”) is relatively homogeneous in size (50–150 nm). A key issue hindering progress in understanding underlying mechanisms of EV subtype biogenesis and cargo selectivity has been the technical challenge of isolating homogeneous EV subpopulations suitable for molecular analysis. In this protocol we reveal a novel method for the isolation, purification, and characterization of distinct EV subtypes: exosomes and sMVs. This method, based on sequential centrifugal ultrafiltration (SCUF), affords unbiased isolation of EVs from conditioned medium from a human colon cancer cell model. For both EV subtypes, this protocol details extensive purification and characterization based on dynamic light scattering, cryoelectron microscopy, quantitation, immunoblotting, and comparative label-free proteome profiling. This analytical SCUF method developed is potentially scalable using tangential flow filtration and provides a solid foundation for future in-depth functional studies of EV subtypes from diverse cell types.

description: The use of lead in manufacturing has decreased significantly over the last few decades. However, previous widespread use of lead-containing products and their incorrect disposal has resulted in environmental contamination. Accumulation of harmful quantities of lead pose a threat to all living organisms, through inhalation, ingestion, or direct contact, resulting in lead poisoning. This study utilized synthetic biology principles to develop plasmid-based whole-cell bacterial biosensors for detection of lead. The genetic element of the lead biosensor construct consists of pbrR, which encodes the regulatory protein, together with its divergent promoter region and a promoterless gfp. GFP expression is controlled by PbrR in response to the presence of lead. The lead biosensor genetic element was cloned onto a low-copy number broad host range plasmid, which can stably exist in a range of laboratory and environmental isolates, including Pseudomonas, Shewanella, and Enterobacter. The biosensors constructed were found to be sensitive, rapid, and specific and could, as such, serve as monitoring tools for lead-contaminated water.

description: In Cambodia and Vietnam, low-lying terrain is particularly susceptible to flooding during the monsoon season between May and November. To monitor flooding in the region, a near-real time NDVI percent decrease based Flood Extent Product was developed to be hosted on an online Flood Dashboard by the NASA DEVELOP team. The product was designed to be updated twice per day with 250-meter resolution from MODIS on the Aqua and Terra satellites. To increase the usage and usability of this product, the classification intervals were compared with other commonly used classification schemes to monitor flooding. The use of substantiated flood classification methods is essential to ensure understanding and usefulness of mapped flood products. Classification schemes can influence the usability and usefulness of these products, e.g. inappropriate flood mapping classification intervals and color selections may incorrectly classify flooded areas and distract from the interpretation of the phenomenon of interest. The percent change method proved to be very helpful in delineating flood boundaries compared to standard deviation and differencing methods. However, only the 100% decrease interval class had the highest accuracy ratings compared to three reference data sets, with an average producer’s accuracy of 67.8% and an average user’s accuracy of 74%. The results of the accuracy assessments indicate that only the 100% interval class can be reclassified to into a descriptive ‘flood’ classification. The use of an additional ‘wet’ category with 75% decrease will be useful to support the flooded area description and allow users to monitor changes in regions that are not currently flooded, but are more susceptible to flooding. The use of a descriptive two-class product eliminates confusion from understanding input data while removing extra information from lower interval change classes.

description: “Entrepreneurial” state economic development strategies, which focus on nurturing home-grown high-technology and other high-growth businesses, lack immediate payoffs for politically powerful constituencies, a condition that would seem likely to limit their political appeal compared to the alternative “locational” strategy of attracting large investments from elsewhere. Nonetheless, many states have added programs with entrepreneurial attributes to their economic development portfolios in recent years. This paper explores how the political obstacles to such programs have been overcome, using a set of sixteen brief case studies. In a few cases, an institutional innovation in the policy-making process drew in new participants who provided ideas for and support to programs with entrepreneurial elements. More commonly, the preferences of the executive branch officials, especially governors, appear to have been critical to the enactment and implementation of such programs. The finding suggests that ED policy-making may be more technocratic than is commonly believed, and that the educational efforts of policy experts, who generally favor entrepreneurial ED strategies over locational ED strategies, have been fruitful and should be sustained.

description: ABSTRACT
Title: Decision-making processes when paramedics refer patients away from hospital: a scoping review.
Background: Paramedic practice faces increasing service demand with decision-making and referral pathways needing to change.  Patients with low acuity clinical presentations do not necessarily require ambulance transport to an emergency department, and previous studies show alternative referral pathways can be effective, safe and efficient. Decision-making processes within the context of referring patients needs to be examined. 
Objectives: To examine the literature related to paramedic decision-making when referring patients to alternative care services, instead of transporting to hospital.
Methods: In this scoping review, the literature between 2005 and 2015 of service providers was examined.  Key search terms were developed to search five databases and Internet search engines.
Results: Four studies were specifically related to decision-making.   Research into the broader topic of paramedics referring patients to alternative medical services other than hospital emergency departments were located, and thirteen relevant studies were included in this review.
Conclusions:  Key factors including clinical experience, education, protocol use, referral processes, and holistic healthcare approaches all influence decision-making of paramedics when referring patients away from hospital.  Further research into these factors is required to better understand how they influence and interact with each other.

description: This report presents an overview of the samples of participants in four major large population cohorts, in Finland, Estonia, Norway and the Netherlands, who have developed pancreas cancer in the years after their enrolment (‘cases’) as well as a twice as high nr of samples of participants of the same biobanks, matched for age and gender, who have not developed this disease (‘controls’). Subsequently, in close consultation with the biobanks themselves, the status of the samples has been reviewed (actual availability, presence of informed consent, availability of phenotypic data, required local and national approvals procedures and completion thereof), followed by their shipment to the centralized address of THL (Helsinki, FI). In the next phase of the research, the samples will be subjected to metabolomics data generation at Brainshake Ltd (Helsinki, FI), after which all the data will be jointly analysed by the academic groups involved, with the aim of defining early metabolomic biomarkers for presymptomatic pancreas cancer.

title: Elucidating the Reaction Mechanism and Deactivation of CO₂-Assisted Propane ODH over VOₓ/TiO₂ Catalysts: A Multiple Operando Spectroscopic Study
Creators: name: Schumacher, Leon
name: Hofmann, Kathrin

Publisher: name: ACS Publications

description: The CO₂-assisted oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) of propane is of great technical importance and enables the use (and thus removal from the atmosphere) of CO₂, a greenhouse gas, in a value-adding process. Supported vanadium oxide (VOₓ) catalysts are a promising alternative to more active but toxic chromium oxide catalysts. Despite its common use, TiO₂ has not been investigated as a support material for VOₓ in the CO₂–ODH of propane. In this study, we elucidate the interaction between titania (P25) and vanadia in the reaction mechanism by analyzing the reaction network and investigating the catalyst using X-ray diffraction (XRD), multiwavelength Raman, UV–vis and diffuse reflectance IR Fourier transform (DRIFT) spectroscopy. Besides direct and indirect ODH reaction pathways, propane dry reforming (PDR) is identified as a side reaction, which is more prominent on bare titania. The presence of VOₓ enhances the stability and the selectivity toward propylene by participating in the redox cycle, activating CO₂ and leading to a higher rate of regeneration. Additionally, VOₓ catalyzes the conversion of anatase to rutile, which facilitates CO₂ activation, thereby leading to an encapsulation of vanadium. At higher loadings, reducible VOₓ oligomers are present on the surface, facilitating some PDR, but less than on bare P25. As the main deactivation mechanisms of the catalyst system, we propose the reduction of the titania lattice and the consumption of vanadium, while carbon formation appears to be less relevant. Our results highlight the importance of analyzing the CO₂–ODH reaction network and applying a multispectroscopic approach to obtain a detailed mechanistic understanding of CO₂-assisted propane ODH over supported VOₓ catalysts.

description: Acute bovine liver disease (ABLD) is a hepatotoxicity principally of cattle which occurs in southern regions of Australia. Severely affected animals undergo rapid clinical progression with mortalities often occurring prior to the recognition of clinical signs. Less severely affected animals develop photosensitization and a proportion can develop liver failure. The characteristic histopathological lesion in acute fatal cases is severe, with acute necrosis of periportal hepatocytes with hemorrhage into the necrotic areas. Currently there are a small number of toxins that are known to cause periportal necrosis in cattle, although none of these have so far been linked to ABLD. Furthermore, ABLD has frequently been associated with the presence of rough dog’s tail grass (Cynosurus echinatus) and Drechslera spp. fungi in the pasture system, but it is currently unknown if these are etiological factors. Much of the knowledge about ABLD is contained within case reports, with very little experimental research investigating the specific cause(s). This review provides an overview of the current and most recently published knowledge of ABLD. It also draws on wider research and unpublished reports to suggest possible fungi and mycotoxins that may give rise to ABLD.

description: Understanding the impact of the environment on the participation of people with aphasia depends on one's perspective. A long-term perspective provides a unique insight into the myriad of ways in which the environment can influence the participation of people living with aphasia over decades. In this article, the authors present the real-life story of "Hank," who has lived with aphasia for more than 15 years. The authors consider how 2 different conceptual frameworks-the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health and the Social Determinants of Health-account for Hank's experience. The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health is useful to conceptualize the range of factors that influence living with aphasia at a particular point in time. In contrast, the Social Determinants of Health is useful to conceptualize the cumulative impact of living with aphasia on long-term health and well-being. Viewing aphasia as a social condition that impacts social determinants of health has potentially wide ranging implications for service design and delivery and the role of speech-language pathologists.

description: Cette thèse s’intéresse à la détermination des peines. Elle met au centre de l’attention les proches des personnes condamnées, et les effets que les sanctions pénales sont susceptibles de produire à leur égard. L’objectif premier de la thèse est de décrire la manière dont ces effets, documentés dans la littérature, sont problématisés par les acteurs et actrices qui ont la responsabilité de choisir la peine juste et adéquate. Ce faisant, la recherche interroge le rapport de l’intervention pénale à ses conséquences concrètes : est-ce que le droit criminel se fait réflexif par rapport aux conséquences de ses propres interventions sur le plan de la détermination des peines ? À travers ce questionnement, la thèse ambitionne de réfléchir à des mécanismes permettant de sortir de la manière conventionnelle de penser les peines, des mécanismes qui fassent une place substantielle aux valeurs positives du système pénal : l’inclusion sociale et la modération en matière de peine. Sur le plan théorique, la recherche mobilise la théorie de la rationalité pénale moderne, développée initialement par Alvaro Pires, pour construire l’hypothèse de la recherche et pour guider l’observation empirique. Sur le plan méthodologique, la thèse s’appuie sur des entretiens qualitatifs menés auprès de juges, et accessoirement d’avocat-e-s de la défense, au Québec et en Suisse romande. Ce matériau de recherche a été privilégié, dans la mesure où ce sont les points de vue des acteurs et actrices judiciaires sur la thématique de recherche qui se trouvent au cœur du questionnement. L’analyse des données a permis de décrire comment ces acteurs et actrices se représentent les notions de « proches des personnes condamnées », et d’ « effets de la peine sur les proches » ; elle observe également les rationalités à l’œuvre dans la prise en compte, ou non, de ces effets, en lien avec le choix de la peine.
Developing a Llama-Based Chatbot for CI/CD Question Answering: A Case Study at Ericsson

Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa | University of Ottawa
Year: 2024

description: This thesis presents our experience developing a Llama-based chatbot for question answering about continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) at Ericsson, a multinational telecommunications company. Our chatbot is designed to handle the specificities of CI/CD documents at Ericsson, employing a retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) model to enhance accuracy and relevance. Our empirical evaluation of the chatbot on industrial CI/CD-related questions indicates that an ensemble retriever, combining BM25 and embedding retrievers, yields the best performance. When evaluated against a ground truth of 72 CI/CD questions and answers at Ericsson, our most accurate chatbot configuration provides fully correct answers for 61.11% of the questions, partially correct answers for 26.39%, and incorrect answers for 12.50%. Through an error analysis of the partially correct and incorrect answers, we discuss the underlying causes of inaccuracies and provide insights for further refinement. We also reflect on lessons learned and suggest future directions for further improving our chatbot’s accuracy.

description: While there is a longer history of concern about alcohol's harm to others, researchers' interest has intensified in the last few years. The background of variation in concern over time in different societies is outlined. Three main traditions of research have emerged: population survey studies of such harm from the perspective of the 'other'; analysis of register or case-record data which includes information on the involvement of another's drinking in the case; and qualitative studies of interactions and experiences involved in particular harms from others' drinking. In the course of the new spate of studies, many conceptual and methodological issues have arisen, some of which are considered in the paper. The diverse types of harms which have been studied are discussed. The social and personal nature of many of the harms means they do not fit easily into a disability or costing model, raising questions about how they might best be counted and aggregated. Harm from others' drinking is inherently interactional, and subject to varying definitions of what counts as harm. The attribution to drinking, in the usual situation of conditional causation, is also subject to variation, with moral politics potentially coming into play. For measurement and comparison, account needs to be taken of cultural and individual variations in perceptions and thresholds of what counts as a harm, and attribution to alcohol. The view from the windows of a population survey and of a response agency case register are often starkly different, and research is needed, as an input and spur to policy initiatives, on what influences this difference and whether and how the views might be reconciled.

description: Pipelining is now widely used in the design of high speed processors in order to overcome the intrinsic speed limitations imposed by the technology. For a good performance and avoidance of internal conflicts, the concurrent operations within different subunits of a pipeline architecture should be properly scheduled This scheduling problem is known to be intrinsically difficult" and a member of the "NP complete class of problems. The aim of this thesis is to develop heuristic suboptimal algorithms whose execution time is a polynomial function of the number of items to be scheduled. Insertion of delay is used as a basic tool for better utilization of hardware and thereby increasing the throughput at the expense of the execution time of an indivici1al data set. Rescheduling of pipelines made up of either single or many subunits communicating with each other are considered. Effects of unequal speeds and unequal loadings of the subunits are also studied. Results obtained compare well with earlier work.

description: Les problèmes de santé psychologiques représentent actuellement la cause principale d’absence maladie chez le personnel scolaire. Le retour au travail (RaT) subséquent représente une étape cruciale, qui exige que les employés soient adéquatement soutenus dans leur processus de réinsertion professionnelle. Le rôle joué par la direction d’établissement scolaire (DES) est considéré comme essentiel pour favoriser un retour au travail durable chez le personnel enseignant. Cette étude a donc cherché à mieux comprendre ce qui influence (positivement ou négativement) l’adoption de comportements de soutien par la DES dans le processus de RaT. Douze DES ont participé à des entrevues semi-dirigées portant sur leur expérience dans l’accompagnement du RaT lié à un PSP.

description: This thesis consists of multiple projects that work towards the realistic implementation of real-world high-dimensional quantum key distribution protocols within the confines of Earth's atmosphere. First, we investigate the behaviour of the atmosphere of a 5.4 km free-space channel over the city of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. This data was collected over a period of 9 months, and is ongoing as of the writing of this thesis. Using the data collected, we have created an AI-based approach to predict atmospheric conditions up to 12 hours in advance. We then performed a simulated quantum communication protocol under different atmospheric conditions to predict the performance of such a protocol. This AI tool will be capable of providing performance forecasts of future quantum networks. Next, we investigate the implementation of an adaptive optics system into a laboratory-scale quantum communications channel with turbulence. We investigated the effects of the turbulence on the transmission of the optical modes through the channel as well as the restorative effects of the adaptive optics system. These results are placed in the context of the theoretical performance of a quantum key distribution system, showing that the implementation of adaptive optics allows for quantum communications where it was otherwise impossible. These two works pave the way for future quantum networks operating under atmospheric conditions. We have shown that it is possible to confidently provide predictions of the quality of a quantum channel. However, in the future, this could be applied to a quantum network with many nodes and channels, potentially allowing for optimization of the network according to future weather conditions. The same network would additionally benefit from the implementation of adaptive optics, allowing for quantum communications when it would otherwise render the network ineffective.

description: Prosthetists and Orthotists (P&O) are exposed to physical hazards within the workshop environment. Concern regarding these exposures has been expressed by P&Os; however, little research has been undertaken. Exposures to noise and volatile organic compounds in amounts larger than statutorily allowed can have adverse short and long term consequences on people’s health. To identify and quantify hazardous noise and chemical exposures in a typical P&O workplace. Noise and volatile organic compound testing was undertaken in 2011 and 2013. Modifications to the workshop occurred between these testing times and the impact of these changes examined. The levels of volatile organic compounds was very low in all areas in 2011 and 2013. Noise levels were high and staff require the use of PPE to prevent exposure beyond levels prescribed in the Australian Standards. Conclusions. Occupational environmental exposures in P&O are of concern to the profession. A pilot study of one facility demonstrated that Occupational Noise exposures are high and may result in hearing loss and other adverse health outcomes. Occupational chemical exposures through volatile organic compound exposures are relatively low. Further, systematic investigation is required to develop evidence-based control strategies.

Modification-Tolerant Signature Schemes Using Combinatorial Group Testing: Theory, Algorithms, and Implementation

description: Matrices that are d-cover-free are used in non-adaptive combinatorial group testing (CGT). They allow for locating up to ddefectives within a set of nitems by testing them in groups. In non-adaptive group testing, all tests are determined before any are conducted. A group test yields a negative result if and only if all items in the group are non-defective. In this thesis, we study d-cover-free families (CFFs) built from set systems and codes. Examples of these include Sperner sets, Steiner Triple Systems, and Reed-Solomon codes. Our primary focus is on decoding algorithms of CGT, which are used to accurately identify all defectives based on the test results. We introduce a general decoding algorithm that relies solely on the d-CFF property of the matrix, as well as specialized algorithms designed according to the specific construction of d-CFFs. Additionally, we conduct experiments to evaluate the performance of each decoding method and compare the general and specialized algorithms, particularly in terms of their efficiency as n and d grow. This study also explores the application of non-adaptive combinatorial group testing using d-CFF to digital signatures. Digital signatures are mathematical schemes designed to ensure data integrity and authenticity of digital communications. They verify the authenticity of a signature and ensure that the signed document has not been tampered with. These schemes include classical methods like RSA-based and ECDSA, as well as post-quantum approaches such as FALCON and SPHINCS+. However, they lack the ability to identify the location of changes if a document has been modified. By incorporating d-CFFs into these digital signatures, we can not only verify the authenticity of the signature, but also locate up to dmodifications, leading to what is known as d-modification tolerant signature schemes(MTSS). Our work advances the study of modification-tolerant signature schemes (MTSS) by practically implementing d-MTSS for various document types. Key achievements include developing efficient data structures and decoding algorithms for different constructions of d-CFFs. We also conduct extensive testing of d-MTSS across multiple scenarios, and our results demonstrate its viability where document modifications are necessary. This research paves the way for future enhancements in data security and digital signature methods.

(Fig. 29)
Hemilophus albicollis Laporte, 1840: 488.
Remarks. – This species was described based on a single specimen from French Guiana. Currently it is known from Costa Rica, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, French Guiana, and Brazil (Amazonas, Pará, Mato Grosso) (Monné 2023b; Tavakilian & Chevillotte 2022). Isomerida albicollis shows great chromatic variation. According to Martins & Galileo (2014b) (translated): “We found in this species variability in the color of the elytral integument, in the presence or absence of dark regions on the pronotum, and in the distribution of the white pubescence that covers the abdominal ventrites. We could not conclude whether this variability indicates forms of the same species (most likely) or closely related species.”

Subjects: Innovation
Diplomacy
European Union

description: In recent years, innovation has become a topic in foreign affairs and in the practices of diplomacy. The number of publications which talk about “innovation diplomacy” is rapidly growing. Such talk about “innovation diplomacy” is of very recent date and mostly exploratory. There is no generally accepted meaning of the term and there are no established practices.

This blog note introduces the work undertaken in work package 2 of the EL-CSID research project. This WP intends to develop a framework for thinking about the role of innovation in diplomacy and to develop a few tools which help structure and map changes in the field, in terms of topics, stakeholders and available policy instruments.

description: Optical constants are important properties governing the response of a material to incident light. It follows that they are often extracted from spectra measured by absorbance, transmittance or reflectance. One convenient method to obtain optical constants is by curve fitting. Here, model curves should satisfy Kramer-Kronig relations, and preferably can be expressed in closed form or easily calculable. In this study we use dielectric constants of three different molecular ices in the infrared region to evaluate four different model curves that are generally used for fitting optical constants: (1) the classical damped harmonic oscillator, (2) Voigt line shape, (3) Fourier series, and (4) the Triangular basis. Among these, only the classical damped harmonic oscillator model strictly satisfies the Kramer-Kronig relation. If considering the trade-off between accuracy and speed, Fourier series fitting is the best option when spectral bands are broad while for narrow peaks the classical damped harmonic oscillator and the Triangular basis fitting model are the best choice.
title: Inverse stochastic resonance in networks of spiking neurons

description: Inverse Stochastic Resonance (ISR) is a phenomenon in which the average spiking rate of a neuron exhibits a minimum with respect to noise. ISR has been studied in individual neurons, but here, we investigate ISR in scale-free networks, where the average spiking rate is calculated over the neuronal population. We use Hodgkin-Huxley model neurons with channel noise (i.e., stochastic gating variable dynamics), and the network connectivity is implemented via electrical or chemical connections (i.e., gap junctions or excitatory/inhibitory synapses). We find that the emergence of ISR depends on the interplay between each neuron’s intrinsic dynamical structure, channel noise, and network inputs, where the latter in turn depend on network structure parameters. We observe that with weak gap junction or excitatory synaptic coupling, network heterogeneity and sparseness tend to favor the emergence of ISR. With inhibitory coupling, ISR is quite robust. We also identify dynamical mechanisms that underlie various features of this ISR behavior. Our results suggest possible ways of experimentally observing ISR in actual neuronal systems.
