description: The fact that the European elections in 2014 resulted in an unprecedented success for Eurosceptic parties raises questions concerning the influence of political elites on citizens’ Euroscepticism. This paper examines whether Eurosceptic messages have a different impact when communicated by mainstream right-wing parties vs. their more radical counterparts. We do so using data from a survey experiment conducted in Germany in 2013. Our results show that Eurosceptic messages from mainstream parties significantly increase Euroscepticism among voters but that those effects are confined largely to “in”-partisans. Furthermore, when a message is effective among “out”-partisans, it is due to a combined effect of source and message credibility. This holds true for both mainstream and radical right parties suggesting that contrary to expectations, the former do not enjoy any advantage over the latter in terms of perceived credibility.

description: Child marriage exists as a harmful practice that prevails in both developing and developed countries. Unfortunately, there has been little research on child marriage among the diaspora communities, with none having been conducted among the Indonesian diaspora. As a member of the Indonesian diaspora in Qatar for almost two years – one who has been working on child marriage research and prevention in Indonesia – I understand and am aware of some members of the Indonesian community's attitudes toward child marriage, but I lack any understanding of how the Indonesian diasporas' life experiences and interactions in Qatar have influenced their perspectives or attitudes toward child marriage. Accordingly, the objective of this study is to discover how likely it is for the Indonesian Diaspora in Qatar to accept the practice of child marriage, based on a range of environment and migration factors. This study combined quantitative (survey) and qualitative (in-depth interview) methods to gain a comprehensive understanding of the Indonesian diaspora's attitudes toward child marriage, taking into account that it is one of Qatar's oldest communities (over two decades), is intergenerational, and has a cross-class divide. Three major findings were identified: first, the majority of respondents believe that marriage should occur when people are in their 20s and beyond; the majority also believe that child marriage causes more harm than good; and finally, the majority of participants agree that in order to prevent child marriage, all stakeholders, including parents, teachers, community leaders, religious leaders, and the national government, should be involved.

description: The CHOVE-CHUVA project aims to monitor territorial dynamics in Mato Grosso, in the Brazilian Amazon, focusing on changes in climatic variables and land use. Citizen data on perceptions of climate change and the location of rational land use practices are also collected.
Details
The Brazilian Amazon, especially Mato Grosso, has experienced significant socio-environmental changes driven by a dynamic agricultural sector, which is now transitioning towards sustainable practices with a country-wide plan for climate change mitigation and adaptation : the Plan ABC. 
Using satellite data from Sentinel-2, Landsat, and MODIS, the tool serves dual purposes. The primary objective is to provide comprehensive monitoring of the territorial dynamics observed in Mato Grosso with spatio-temporal indicators. For a predefined zone, the user can produce a "dashboard" of the territorial situation from synthetic indicators on 5 major themes: climate, forests, water, agriculture, and land use. The second objective of the tool is to take advantage of user visits to collect citizen data, allowing users to contribute data on practices like reforestation and crop-livestock integration.

description: A new model for viscoelastic phase separation is proposed, based on a systematically derived conservative two-fluid model. Dissipative effects are included by phenomenological viscoelastic terms. By construction, the model is consistent with the second law of thermodynamics. We study well-posedness of the model in two space dimensions, i.e., existence of weak solutions, a weak-strong uniqueness principle, and stability with respect to perturbations, which are proven by means of relative energy estimates. Our numerical simulations based on the new viscoelastic phase separation model are in good agreement with physical experiments. Furthermore, a good qualitative agreement with mesoscopic simulations is observed.

description: Digital pathology has emerged as a promising tool for the diagnosis and management of cancer. However, the accurate and efficient analysis of histopathology images is still a challenging task. Recently, artificial intelligence (AI) has matured enough to provide models for large-scale detection and classification of cellular structures. In this thesis, we propose an automatic multi-scale visual annotation approach for histopathology images. We use AI to automatically detect and classify whole slide images (WSIs) of histopathology tissue samples. We then create annotations using AI, density, and topology analysis. The proposed approach provides these visual annotations for histopathologists to ease their workflow. We provide 3 types of visual annotations: microscale, mesoscale, and multiscale annotations. Microscale annotations involve drawing different colored bounding boxes around nuclei of a specific cancer type inWSIs and are generated automatically by AI. Mesoscale annotations use kernel density estimation to provide colored contours overlayed on top of the WSI. Macroscale annotations are the most general and use topology to provide annotations that summarize the WSI. We evaluate the performance of the proposed approach through qualitative assessment by interviewing a histopathologist working in the field. We find that our proposed approach has the potential to aid histopathologists in the accurate and efficient analysis of histopathology images, and could contribute to the development of computer-aided diagnosis systems for cancer.

description: Objectives: The current treatment options for patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) often present a trade-off between the potential for treatment failure and safety concerns. We set out to investigate real-world outcomes associated with the use of currently available antimicrobial treatment options for CAP in both the outpatient and inpatient (non-intensive care unit [ICU]) settings. Methods: This claims-based retrospective study included adult patients diagnosed with CAP and treated with antibiotic therapies, including any oral fluoroquinolone, macrolide, or beta-lactam monotherapy in the outpatient setting, and intravenous (IV) levofloxacin or IV azithromycin/ceftriaxone in the inpatient setting. Generalized linear model (GLM) regression was used to determine total charges for inpatient stay, the length of stay, and days of inpatient therapy. For outpatients, rates of adverse events (AEs), treatment failure, and hospitalization were compared by type of initial antibiotic therapy using logistic regression multivariate models that controlled for baseline characteristics. Results: A total of 441,820 outpatients and 33,287 inpatients treated for CAP between 2007 and 2012 were included in this analysis. In the outpatient setting, fluoroquinolone therapy led to a higher rate of documented AEs (adjusted odds ratio [OR]: 1.23; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.20–1.25; p < 0.0001) but a lower rate of retreatment (adjusted OR: 0.9; 95% CI: 0.87–0.94; p < 0.0001) compared with macrolides. Both AEs and retreatment in these patients were associated with increased costs. For patients treated with the IV macrolide/beta-lactam combination compared with IV fluoroquinolone in the inpatient setting, a significantly longer length of stay in hospital (4.71 vs 4.38 days; p < 0.0001) and greater overall costs ($3,535 more per stay; p < 0.0001) were observed. Conclusion: In both the inpatient and outpatient settings, the development of additional efficacious treatment options that have a reduced AE burden for patients with CAP may be warranted.

description: Die Beliebtheit von Medienberufen ist ungebrochen. Das zeigt sich unter anderem an der Zahl der Studieninteressierten. So haben sich allein in diesem Jahr mehr als 1 500 junge Leute auf einen der 44 Plätze für den Studiengang Medienwissenschaft an der Universität Potsdam beworben. Nach ihrem erfolgreichen Abschluss allerdings konkurrieren die Absolventen am Arbeitsmarkt mit Tausenden Abgängern anderer Hochschulen aus Film-, Medien- und Kommunikationsstudiengängen. Das sind allein in der Region Berlin-Brandenburg jährlich etwa 1 500. Doch nach jahrzehntelangem Boom der Medienbranche hat sich der Arbeitsmarkt im vergangenen Jahrzehnt drastisch verändert. Konjunkturkrise, Kursrückgänge und rückläufige Werbeinvestitionen schwächten die Medien deutlich. Es folgten daraus schlechte Gewinnergebnisse, Einsparungen und Personalreduzierung, insbesondere bei den Printmedien. Die Insolvenz der Frankfurter Rundschau oder die Einstellung der Financial Times Deutschland sind nur zwei eklatante Beispiele. Auf der anderen Seite boomt der dynamische Online-Markt aufgrund des veränderten Nutzerverhaltens insbesondere der jungen Generation, die ihre Informationen zunehmend aus Internet, Apps und sozialen Netzwerken gewinnen. Die Berufsaussichten für all Jene, die „Irgendwas mit Medien“ studieren wollen sind zwar aufgrund des Arbeitsmarktes schwieriger geworden, sie sind aber dennoch vielfältig. Guter Journalismus wird weiterhin benötigt und auch Öffentlichkeitsarbeiter sind gefragt. Darüber hinaus stehen Absolventen der Kommunikationswissenschaften die Türen in die Medienplanung oder in der Markt- und Meinungsforschung offen. Und nicht zuletzt sind Experten in der Online-Branche gefragt. Portal alumni hat sich in diesem Jahr dafür interessiert, welche Karrierewege Absolventen der der Universität Potsdam in Medienberufen bisher gegangen sind. Dabei zeigt sich, dass auch hier die Wege selten linear verlaufen und berufliche Erfolge sich keineswegs leicht einstellten.

description: Capsule: Bearded Reedlings Panurus biarmicus show consistent nest timing, select old, compacted areas of reed when positioning their nests, and may adjust nest structure in relation to local reed characteristics and temperature. Aims: To investigate the nest timing, nest site selection and nest structure of a rare and elusive passerine, the Bearded Reedling at the northern limit of this species’ range. Methods: A sample of Bearded Reedling nests from the Tay Reedbeds in Scotland were located and monitored with regard to the timing of nesting, fate, fine-scale habitat characteristics and nest structure. Results: First egg dates and brood sizes were consistent between years of the study despite variation in spring temperatures. Bearded Reedlings nested within unmanaged patches of reed, positively selecting deep leaf litters and compacted reed. Attributes of nest structure, namely internal and external diameter, were influenced by nest site characteristics and local temperature. Conclusion: Despite a limited sample size, the study suggests that reedbed management should ensure adequate areas of old, dry and unmanaged reed are available when aiming to encourage breeding Bearded Reedlings. Additionally, the apparently flexible structure of the nest may assist this species when coping with changeable climatic conditions.

description: Die Universität Potsdam hat in diesem Jahr groß gefeiert: Sie ist 25 Jahre alt geworden. Zahlreiche Veranstaltungen und Publikationen zum Jubeljahr beleuchten, wie sich die Universität seit ihrer Gründung am 15. Juli 1991 entwickelt hat. Auch die Redaktion von Portal Alumni will dieses Vierteljahrhundert in den Blick nehmen und zwar aus der Perspektive der Studierenden und Alumni. Wir haben uns gefragt: Wie hat sich das Studium an der Universität Potsdam in der Vergangenheit geändert? Was ist den Studierenden heute wichtig, was waren wichtige Themen vor zehn oder zwanzig Jahren? Welche Erinnerungen haben Alumni an ihre Hochschulzeit? In diesem Heft lassen wir Alumni zu Wort kommen, die zu unterschiedlichen Zeiten an der Universität studiert haben und die für uns einen Blick zurück werfen auf ihre Generation. Mit dabei ist etwa Stefan Uhlmann, der sein Studium kurz vor dem Wendeherbst aufgenommen hatte. Sein erstes Semester war noch geprägt von sozialer Sicherheit: Der Staat zahlte den monatlichen studentischen Unterhalt von 200 Mark, die Universität stellte den Wohnheimplatz. Selbst der Arbeitsplatz war nach den Gesetzen der Planwirtschaft sicher. Wenige Monate später war alles anders: Die Inhalte aller Studiengänge wurden auf den Prüfstand gestellt, alle Rahmenbedingungen neu gestaltet, die gesamte Gesellschaft und damit auch der Arbeitsmarkt waren im Umbruch. Zwischen der Generation von Stefan Uhlmann und der der jungen Bachelorabsolventin Friederike Bath liegen 25 Jahre Universitätsgeschichte. Eine Zeit, in der sich Lehre und Studium gewandelt haben. Der Einführung von einer Studienordnung nach bundesdeutschem Recht folgte in der Jahrtausendwende die Bologna-Reform, die nicht nur das Studieren verändert hat. Sie hat auch einen Wertewandel mit sich gebracht, den der Sozialisationswissenschaftler Wilfried Schubarth in dieser Ausgabe beschreibt.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: Offenheit, Vertrauen und Zuverlässigkeit – das sind wichtige Säulen langanhaltender und erfolgreicher Partnerschaften. Partnerschaften auf Augenhöhe, die auf Freiwilligkeit, gegenseitigem Wohlwollen, Respekt, Vertrauen und Wertschätzung beruhen, werden auch an der Universität Potsdam gebraucht und gefördert. Sie entstehen zwischen Lehrenden, Studierenden und Alumni oder sie werden gelebt in vielfältigen Kontakten der Universität mit Stakeholdern in Politik, Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft. Wie in jeder Partnerschaft gilt auch hier das Prinzip des gegenseitigen Gebens und Nehmens. Sind Ziele, Rollen, Erwartungen und Rahmenbedingungen geklärt, kann aus einem ersten Gespräch eine neue Perspektive, ein zündender Impuls, eine Entscheidungshilfe oder sogar eine langjährige Kooperation werden. In dem 15. Heft unseres Alumni-Magazins berichten wir von solchen Partnerschaften. So stellen wir Biologieprofessorin Ursula Gaedke vor, die zu ihren ehemaligen Studierenden und Mitarbeitern langjährige Kontakte pflegt, von denen beide Seiten profitieren. Wir berichten aber auch vom Partnerkreis „Industrie & Wirtschaft“, der Unternehmen und die Universität Potsdam verbindet. Mit diesem Netzwerk wird die Fachkräftesicherung in der Region unterstützt und der Wissenstransfer gefördert. Die Vermittlung von Studierenden und Absolventen ist dabei ein wichtiger Baustein. Und nicht zuletzt kommen Ehemalige der Universität zu Wort und erzählen von ihren Partnerschaften zu Studierenden. Katharina Strauß beispielsweise, gibt ihre Erfahrungen aus dem Jurastudium und dem Berufsleben seit zehn Jahren an Studentinnen ihres Faches weiter. Im Juristinnen-Mentoring-Programm gibt sie Anstöße und neue Impulse und mildert so manche Prüfungsangst. Darüber hinaus stellen wir in diesem Heft auch wieder aktuelle Projekte Ihrer Alma Mater vor und berichten von den Höhepunkten des Jahres 2018.

description: We present a detailed derivation of a simple hydrodynamic two-fluid model, which aims at the description of the phase separation of non-entangled polymer solutions, where viscoelastic effects play a role. It is directly based upon the coarse-graining of a well-defined molecular model, such that all degrees of freedom have a clear and unambiguous molecular interpretation. The considerations are based upon a free-energy functional, and the dynamics is split into a conservative and a dissipative part, where the latter satisfies the Onsager relations and the second law of thermodynamics. The model is therefore fully consistent with both equilibrium and non-equilibrium thermodynamics. The derivation proceeds in two steps: firstly, we derive an extended model comprising two scalar and four vector fields, such that inertial dynamics of the macromolecules and of the relative motion of the two fluids is taken into account. In the second step, we eliminate these inertial contributions and, as a replacement, introduce phenomenological dissipative terms, which can be modeled easily by taking into account the principles of non-equilibrium thermodynamics. The final simplified model comprises the momentum conservation equation, which includes both interfacial and elastic stresses, a convection–diffusion equation where interfacial and elastic contributions occur as well, and a suitably convected relaxation equation for the end-to-end vector field. In contrast to the traditional two-scale description that is used to derive rheological equations of motion, we here treat the hydrodynamic and the macromolecular degrees of freedom on the same basis. Nevertheless, the resulting model is fairly similar, though not fully identical, to models that have been discussed previously. Notably, we find a rheological constitutive equation that differs from the standard Oldroyd-B model. Within the framework of kinetic theory, this difference may be traced back to a different underlying statistical-mechanical ensemble that is used for averaging the stress. To what extent the model is able to reproduce the full phenomenology of viscoelastic phase separation is presently an open question, which shall be investigated in the future.

Recently, the oxidation products of these fatty acids are gaining attention, as they are likely to disturb body redox balance. Therefore, the efficacy of omega-3 fats under conditions of diminished antioxidant status, such as aging, is always a concern. Present study assessed the effects of omega-3 fats (DHA and EPA) together with or without vitamin-E in naturally aged rats. It was found that in omega-3 fats alone consumed rats the lipid profile was improved, while in omega-3 fat with vitamin-E-consumed group (OMVE), the hepato protective and antioxidant properties were pronounced, especially the redox status of brain tissue. It is possible that vitamin-E might have reduced the peroxidation of omega-3 fats, thereby allowing their synergistic effects. Hence, the use of vitamin-E along with omega-3 fat may be beneficial under aged conditions.

description: The rapid growth in the number of international students choosing Australia as a preferred place for tertiary education has brought many benefits and challenges to both students and universities. Australia has become a temporary home for many thousands of students prepared to pay large sums of money for the opportunity to advance their education and better their lives in a location that promotes itself as safe and welcoming. Nonetheless, cash-strapped universities should be mindful of the volatility of the market and the fact that students' needs are diverse and compounded by relocating to a foreign environment. Amidst strategies employed to attract both international students and funds, is the issue of providing support to discerning and culturally sensitive students whose requirement for security in a host community has implications that need to be properly addressed. The thesis adopts Baldwin's (1987: 13) abstract definition of security - 'a low probability of damage to acquired values' - to encompass both social and psychological elements of international student life. An extensive discussion concerning security in this abstract sense precedes consideration of the influence of cultural difference and relocation. Inspired by many years of experience working and studying at Monash University, the candidate's belief in optimal education opportunities for all underpins the aim of this thesis, which is to clarify international student security needs and to explore how a large internationalised university provides the support services required to ensure international students are secure. Contextualised in the global market where education qualifications have become a much sought after commodity, the thesis argues for international students' right to security as both consumers and human beings. Empirical evidence gathered from Monash University documentation, international student survey data and interviews with staff are utilised to ascertain whether or not support services successfully provide security to the University's large international student cohort. The thesis contributes to a continuing debate concerning whether specialised or mainstreamed services best provide for international students. Through this contribution and giving credence to the predictions of contingency theory, it is concluded that Monash University to date has not successfully provided for the security of its international student cohort.

description: Legislative responsiveness to the preferences of an informed electorate is a key characteristic of representative democracy. Yet, studies increasingly show that the degree to which representatives respond to voters is contingent upon a host of features such as gender, social class and ideology. In this thesis, I argue that group identity shapes responsiveness to constituents and representation more broadly. Is how that representation can be understood through the lens of inter group conflict, with shared identity acting as a defining pre-requisite for group responsiveness. The thesis consists of four empirical chapters, each of which feature original research that leverage new observational data collected from national representatives in the United States and the United Kingdom. Methodologically, I rely on a variety of computational approaches to the study of text data such as transformer based language models, neural networks, and supervised machine learning. Additionally, I apply a range of statistical methods that incorporate both Bayesian and frequentist approaches to probability and uncertainty. Although each of the four articles utilize state-of-the-art methods, one of the real values of the thesis comes in its substantive contributions to our understanding of representation and elite behavior.

description: A comprehensive study of sillenite Bi₁₂SiO₂₀ single-crystal properties, including elastic stiffness and piezoelectric coefficients, dielectric permittivity, thermal expansion and molar heat capacity, is presented. Brillouin-interferometry measurements (up to 27 GPa), which were performed at high pressures for the first time, and ab initio calculations based on density functional theory (up to 50 GPa) show the stability of the sillenite structure in the investigated pressure range, in agreement with previous studies. Elastic stiffness coefficients c₁₁ and c₁₂ are found to increase continuously with pressure while c₄₄ increases slightly for lower pressures and remains nearly constant above 15 GPa. Heat-capacity measurements were performed with a quasi-adiabatic calorimeter employing the relaxation method between 2 K and 395 K. No phase transition could be observed in this temperature interval. Standard molar entropy, enthalpy change and Debye temperature are extracted from the data. The results are found to be roughly half of the previous values reported in the literature. The discrepancy is attributed to the overestimation of the Debye temperature which was extracted from high-temperature data. Additionally, Debye temperatures obtained from mean sound velocities derived by Voigt-Reuss averaging are in agreement with our heat-capacity results. Finally, a complete set of electromechanical coefficients was deduced from the application of resonant ultrasound spectroscopy between 103 K and 733 K. No discontinuities in the temperature dependence of the coefficients are observed. High-temperature (up to 1100 K) resonant ultrasound spectra recorded for Bi₁₂SiO₂₀ crystals revealed strong and reversible acoustic dissipation effects at 870 K, 960 K and 550 K for M = Si, Ge and Ti, respectively. Resonances with small contributions from the elastic shear stiffness c₄₄ and the piezoelectric stress coefficient e₁₂₃ are almost unaffected by this dissipation.

description: The corrosion protection of aluminium alloys is of high importance, particularly in the aerospace industry. The most widely used technologies utilise Chromium(VI) compounds for conversion coatings and primer additives in paint systems to provide corrosion protection to these alloys. These compounds are highly toxic, carcinogenic and detrimental to the environment, therefore the identification of alternative systems that are safe and environmentally benign, that meet or exceed the current levels of corrosion protection is vital. This research program examines the corrosion inhibition effectiveness of selected rare earth diphenyl phosphates (RE(dpp)3). These compounds incorporate known inhibitor species, namely rare earth metals, organics and phosphates into a single complex, with the aim of achieving synergistic inhibition in corrosive environments. A screening study utilising immersion and weight loss experiments identified Cerium diphenyl phosphate (Ce(dpp)3) and Mischmetal diphenyl phosphate (Mm(dpp)3) as the most effective inhibitors of corrosion for AA2024-T3. The inhibiting efficiency, mechanism of inhibition and surface interaction of these complexes on aluminium alloy AA2024-T3 was characterised using a range of electrochemical and surface techniques. A similar study was carried out using AA7075-T6 to assess the adaptability of the RE(dpp)3 compounds to protect different alloy compositions. The complexes were effective in significantly reducing the corrosion rate of the alloys, with both the cathodic and anodic corrosion processes being suppressed. This mixed inhibition was not attained with the constituent rare earth and diphenyl phosphate ions individually, indicating the need for the complex to remain intact in solution to achieve the high level of corrosion protection observed. The initiation and propagation of surface pits was effectively suppressed by the RE(dpp)3 complexes. The combination of electrochemical and surface characterisation techniques has for the first time allowed insights into the mechanism of action of these compounds on aluminium alloys, and indicated deposition was initiated at electrochemically active intermetallic particles. The mixed rare earth phases present in Mm(dpp)3 produced a synergistic effect, providing a greater degree of corrosion protection compared with Ce(dpp)3, particularly on AA2024-T3. In the final phase of this research project the RE(dpp)3 inhibitor compounds were incorporated into an epoxy coating system, and demonstrated that the initiation of filiform corrosion on AA2024-T3 could be reduced by up to a factor of 3 by their addition. The growth rate of filaments was also impeded.

description: Objective: Olmesartan medoxomil (OLM) is an antihypertensive drug with low oral bioavailability (28%) resulting from poor aqueous solubility, presystemic metabolism and P-glycoprotein mediated efflux. The present investigation studies the role of lipid nanocarriers in enhancing the OLM bioavailability through oral delivery. Materials and methods: Solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN) were prepared by solvent emulsion-evaporation method. Statistical tools like regression analysis and Pareto charts were used to detect the important factors effecting the formulations. Formulation and process parameters were then optimized using mean effect plot and contour plots. The formulations were characterized for particle size, size distribution, surface charge, percentage of drug entrapped in nanoparticles, drug–excipients interactions, powder X-ray diffraction analysis and drug release in vitro. Results and discussion: The optimized formulation comprised glyceryl monostearate, soya phosphatidylcholine and Tween 80 as lipid, co-emulsifier and surfactant, respectively, with an average particle size of 100 nm, PDI 0.291, zeta potential of −23.4 mV and 78% entrapment efficiency. Pharmacokinetic evaluation in male Sprague Dawley rats revealed 2.32-fold enhancement in relative bioavailability of drug from SLN when compared to that of OLM plain drug on oral administration. Conclusion: In conclusion, SLN show promising approaches as a vehicle for oral delivery of drugs like OLM.

description: This study explores the ways in which migrant female domestic workers bargain with patriarchy and capitalism in Qatar through the analysis of key structures and women’s behavior within capitalist patriarchy. Primarily based on first-hand narratives from semi-structured interviews, this dissertation aims to highlight ways in which women navigate and strategize within the structures that work to oppress them. I build on Deniz Kandiyoti’s theory of women ‘bargaining with patriarchy’ (1988) to argue that migrant female domestic workers can identify and strategize within the structures that oppress them based on their gender, nationality, and class, to exercise their agency. Moreover, I question how migrant female domestic workers navigate spaces of vulnerability where dependency on employers and limited access to justice hinder their rights and lived condition. This dissertation highlights three central lines of inquiry: the legal framework of the kafala and Qatar Law No.15 of 2017 and subsequent crafted work arrangements; the politics of space in the household that determine boundaries of private and public; finally, the demands of a gendered-emotional labor experienced by female employer and female employee in domestic employment, to reflect the capitalist patriarchal structures defining women’s position in Qatar, and reflective throughout the global care-chain. Lastly, this study seeks to highlight the intricate and often unappreciated lived experience of women in vulnerable conditions who strategize to navigate the boundaries of their workplace and home.

description: Background Serotonin induces fluid secretion from Calliphora salivary glands by the parallel activation of the InsP3/Ca2+ and cAMP signaling pathways. We investigated whether cAMP affects 5-HT-induced Ca2+ signaling and InsP3-induced Ca2+ release from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Results Increasing intracellular cAMP level by bath application of forskolin, IBMX or cAMP in the continuous presence of threshold 5-HT concentrations converted oscillatory [Ca2+]i changes into a sustained increase. Intraluminal Ca2+ measurements in the ER of ß-escin-permeabilized glands with mag-fura-2 revealed that cAMP augmented InsP3-induced Ca2+ release in a concentration-dependent manner. This indicated that cAMP sensitized the InsP3 receptor Ca2+ channel for InsP3. By using cAMP analogs that activated either protein kinase A (PKA) or Epac and the application of PKA-inhibitors, we found that cAMP-induced augmentation of InsP3-induced Ca2+ release was mediated by PKA not by Epac. Recordings of the transepithelial potential of the glands suggested that cAMP sensitized the InsP3/Ca2+ signaling pathway for 5-HT, because IBMX potentiated Ca2+-dependent Cl- transport activated by a threshold 5-HT concentration. Conclusion This report shows, for the first time for an insect system, that cAMP can potentiate InsP3-induced Ca2+ release from the ER in a PKA-dependent manner, and that this crosstalk between cAMP and InsP3/Ca2+ signaling pathways enhances transepithelial electrolyte transport.
