description: An electrochemical method was developed for the determination of mercury using polycrystalline gold electrode modified by self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of 2-mercaptobenzothiazole (MBTH). Morphological and electrochemical characterisation of the self-assembled structure of MBTH was performed using atomic force microscopy (AFM) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements. The monolayer of MBTH has shown high affinity for Hg2+. The limit of detection for the determination of Hg2+ using the MBTH SAMs modified gold electrode was obtained as 0.421 μg L−1. The pre-concentration of Hg2+ at open circuit potential is beneficial for the onsite monitoring of mercury concentration in water samples.

description: Optimization of the M9 medium for production of Penicillin G Acylase (PGA) from recombinant E. coli DH5α carrying a plasmid encoding pac from Bacillus badius was carried out based on response surface methodology (RSM). For the first time M9 medium was used for enhancing the production of PGA from recombinant B. badius pac expressed in E. coli DH5α. RSM is a useful method for studying the effect of several variables influencing the responses by varying them simultaneously and carrying out a limited number of experiments. Initial screening method of Plackett-Burman design gave rise to identification of fructose, yeast extract and magnesium sulphate as significant medium components. A 23 full-factorial central composite design (CCD) was applied to further optimize concentration of each significant variable. The optimal concentration of medium for higher production of PGA consisted of 10 g/l fructose, 6 g/l yeast extract, 1.85 ml/l MgSO4 · 7H2O (100 mM), 9 g/l disodium hydrogen phosphate, 4 g/l potassium dihydrogen phosphate, 0.75 g/l sodium chloride, 2 ml/l thiamine HCl (100 mM) and 2 ml/l calcium chloride (10 mM). The model prediction of PGA activity (14.11 U/ml) at optimum conditions was verified experimentally (13.94 U/ml). Through statistically designed optimization, the production of PGA was found to go up from 2.2 U/ml to an average of 13.94 ± 0.03 U/ml. Thus the modified M9 media has shown a 7.74 fold increase in PGA activity.

description: Um die immer strikter werdenden Vorschriften bezüglich der Abgasemissionen zu erfüllen, ist es notwendig, neue Brennerkonzepte zu erforschen und genauer zu verstehen. Eines dieser neuen Brennerkonzepte ist der Matrixbrenner, der eine Gruppe von nicht-verdrallten Strahlflammen erzeugt. Zur Auslegung solcher Brenner sind Kenntnisse über fundamentale Brennereigenschaften notwendig. Vergangene Untersuchungen berichteten bereits in Abhängigkeit der Betriebsbedingungen über eine signifikante Änderung der Flammenform, die Gegenstand der aktuellen Arbeit ist. Zu diesem Zweck werden unterschiedliche Matrixbrenner unter Änderung der Betriebsbedingungen mithilfe eines Grobstruktur- und tabellierten Chemie-Ansatzes numerisch simuliert. Zunächst werden die beiden Flammenformen genauer charakterisiert und verglichen und ein Algorithmus zur Identifikation der Flammenform vorgestellt. Weiterhin wird ein Korrelationsansatz zur Vorhersage des Flammenumschlagpunktes auf Basis des Peclet-Kriteriums vorgeschlagen.

description: Diese Master-Thesis entstand aus einer Ausschreibung des Begleiteten Besuchstreffs (BBT) Zürich, in welcher aufgrund der Herausforderungen, insbesondere mit konflikthaften Eltern, der Unterstützungsbedarf der angebotsnutzenden Eltern untersucht werden sollte. Die vorliegende Arbeit analysiert deshalb, welche Unterstützung die Eltern im Rahmen der begleiteten Übergaben und begleiteten Besuche im BBT Zürich brauchen, damit diese kindeswohlgerecht ablaufen. Zunächst werden relevante Bezüge aus Studien sowie der Literatur zu den Themen elterliche Konflikte nach der Trennung, Kindeswohl und Kindeswille sowie verschiedene Interventionsformen bei Konflikten nach der Trennung beleuchtet. Um die Fragestellung zu beantworten, wurde ein mehrperspektivisches qualitatives Forschungsvorgehen angewendet. Die entsprechenden Daten wurden mittels teilstandardisierter Leitfadeninterviews mit angebotsnutzenden Eltern sowie teilstandardisierter Expert:inneninterviews mit Mitarbeitenden des BBT Zürich und Beistandspersonen aus dem Kanton Zürich erhoben. Deren Auswertung erfolgte mit der Grounded Theory Methodologie. Aus den Ergebnissen lässt sich schliessen, dass die Eltern je nach Bedarf auf unterschiedliche, allenfalls miteinander zu kombinierende, beraterische, therapeutische und mediative Interventionsformen sowie Elternkurse angewiesen sind, was zum aktuellen Zeitpunkt unzureichend gewährleistet ist. Aufgrund des mehrperspektivischen Fokus wurde jedoch deutlich, dass nicht nur der Elternbedarf berücksichtigt werden kann, sondern eine Einbettung in die Gesamtthematik erforderlich ist. Diese beinhaltet die Elternarbeit, das Kind als Akteur:in, Strukturen und Ressourcen im BBT Zürich, Ressourcen und Aufgabenwahrnehmung der Beistandspersonen, Vernetzung und/oder Kombination mit verschiedenen Unterstützungsmassnahmen sowie Zusammenarbeit und Wissen im Fachpersonensystem.

description: The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the adoption of hybrid work models, blending onsite and remote work, driven by advancements in information and communication technology. This shift allows knowledge workers to work from virtually anywhere but also presents the challenge of fostering a sense of belonging among employees.
This study investigated how the hybrid work model affects employees' sense of belonging and their connection to the company culture, including new hires and those from multicultural backgrounds. The primary research question explored the impact of hybrid work on employees' sense of belonging, with supporting questions examining its effect on the company culture, the onboarding of new employees, and the influence of multicultural backgrounds.
An inductive and qualitative research approach was employed, involving semi-structured interviews with eight participants who have hybrid work experience in Switzerland. Interview partners were selected based on criteria including multicultural background, generation, gender, and onboarding experience. Thematic analysis was used to identify patterns in the data.
The study found that the hybrid work model generally does not significantly affect employees' sense of belonging, as regular office attendance provides sufficient opportunities for in-person interactions. Employees have become more intentional about maintaining connections through coordinated office days and virtual check-ins. However, the hybrid work model adds challenges to the onboarding of new hires, who may find it difficult to build connections and integrate into the company culture. Additionally, it encourages organizations to reassess and improve their cultures. The impact of a multicultural background on belonging depends on cultural context. The hybrid work model generally does not negatively impact employees' sense of belonging but can present additional challenges for those already struggling to form connections, such as new hires, multicultural teams, and part-time employees.
Future research should incorporate psychological assessments to explore the influence of personality traits on the sense of belonging and investigate the cultural impact on belonging in diverse work environments. Additionally, examining how company cultures influence employees' experiences and exploring the challenges of onboarding newcomers in hybrid work settings are recommended. Organizations should implement strategies to foster a sense of belonging, ensure equitable career opportunities, and support multicultural teams in navigating these complexities successfully.

description: Humic substances can mediate electron transfer between microorganisms and Fe(III) minerals. Because it is unknown which microorganisms reduce humics in anoxic aquifers, we analyzed the diversity and physiological flexibility of Fe(III)-, humics-, and AQDS-reducers, which were present at up to 106 cells g−1. No significant differences in 16S rRNA gene based diversity were found between enrichment cultures reducing ferrihydrite, humics or AQDS. Even after repeated transfers many of the enrichments retained the ability to switch to other electron acceptors. This suggests that humics- and Fe(III)-reducing microorganisms in anoxic aquifers are rather versatile and able to reduce different extracellular electron acceptors.

description: The effect of gibberellic acid application on the development of necrosis in cv. Queen of Vineyard grapevine buds was studied. GA3 caused the development of a necrotic layer at the base of the central bud and promoted the development of the axillary buds. GA3 application to leaves caused necrosis in the buds more readily than direct application to the buds. GA3 fed to the petiole was 100 times more active in inducing necrosis than leaf application. Only developing and relatively young buds were sensitive to GA3. A minimum of 6 X 10-6 mg GA3 in the bud was needed to cause bud necrosis. During the period from 1 week before to 3 weeks after bloom, the movement of GA3 in the grape shoot was acropetal. The possible involvement of gibberellins in the natural necrosis of buds on vigorous grapevines is discussed. Knospennekrosen bei der Rebsorte Queen of Vineyard (Vitis vinifera) II. Einfluß der Gibberellinsäure- (GA3)Behandlung Bei der Sorte Queen of Vineyard wurde der Einfluß der GA3-Behandlung auf die Entwicklung von Knospennekrosen untersucht. GA3 bewirkte die Ausbildung einer nekrotischen Gewebeschicht an der Basis der Mittelknospe und förderte die Entwicklung der Axillarknospen. Durch GA3-Behandlung der Blätter ließen sich leichter Knospennekrosen auslösen als durch direkte Behandlung der Knospen. Wurde GA3 über den Blattstiel zugeführt, so war seine Nekrosen induzierende Wirkung 100mal stärker als bei Behandlung der Blattspreite. Nur sich entwickelnde und relativ junge Knospen waren gegen GA3 sensibel. Um eine Knospennekrose auszulösen, mußten in den Knospen mindestens 6 X 10-6 mg GA3 vorliegen. Zwischen 1 Woche vor und 3 Wochen nach der Blüte erfolgte die Bewegung des GA3in den Rebentrieben akropetal. Die mögliche Beteiligung von Gibberellinen am natürlichen Auftreten von Knospennekrosen bei wüchsigen Reben wird diskutiert.

description: Germination of seeds required a stratification period either at cold (5 ± 1 °C) or warm (18 ± 1 °C) conditions. Besides, production of normal seedlings (seedlings with plumule) needed stratification of at least 60 d. Cold stratification treatments increased pronouncedly the percentages of seed germination and normal seedlings when seeds were first subjected to warm stratification conditions. Soaking the seeds in IAA, IBA or Ethrel at different concentrations before sowing failed completely to produce normal seedlings. Conversely, the best results with respect to germination i;ercentage and normal seedlings were obtained with GA-, especially at 5000 ppm, followed by thiourea and kinetin. Applying GA3 to seeds immediately before stratification was more effective than adding it after stratification. Der Einfluß verschiedener Behandlungsbedingungen auf die Samenkeimung bei der Rebsorte Romi red Die Samen der Rebsorte Romi red keimten nur nach Stratifikation, entweder unter Kälte- oder unter Wärmebedingungen (5 ± 1 °C bzw. 18 ± 1 °C). Normale Sämlinge, d. h. solche mit Plumula, entwickelten sich nur bei einer Stratifikationsdauer von mindestens 60 d. Durch Kaltstratifikation wurde der Anteil keimender Samen und normaler Sämlinge bedeutend erhöht, wenn die Samen zuvor warmstratifiziert worden waren. Das Einweichen der Samen vor der Aussaat in unterschiedlichen Konzentrationen von IAA, IBA oder Ethrel förderte die Bildung normaler Sämlinge in keiner Weise. Umgekehrt wurden im Hinblick auf die Samenkeimung und die Bildung normaler Sämlinge die besten Ergebnisse mit GA3, vor allem in der Konzentration von 5000 ppm erzielt; auch Thioharnstoff und Kinetin zeigten einen positiven Einfluß. GA3-Behandlung der Samen unmittelbar vor der Stratifikation war wirksamer als danach.

description: Des greffes herbacées de deux cultivars compatibles du genre Vitis (Carignan et 99 Richter) ont permis de réaLiser une étude histologique détaillée de la zone de greffage. Différents tissus peuvent contribuer à la formation du cal. En général, les rayons interfasciculaires, le parenchyme cortical, les dérivés récents du cambium et les cellules cambiales elles-mêmes prolifèrent et sont à l'origine des tissus néoformés. Les parenchymes associés au xylème et au phloème participent également à l'élaboration du oal. Toutefois, l'importance relative de ces différents tissus dans le processus de régénération dépend largement de la nature des entailles pratiquées au moment du greffage. L'existence de la soudure greffon/porte-greffe résulte de remaniements pariétaux et se fait préférentiellement par l'intermédiare des tissus néoformés. A l'intérieur du oal un cambium se différencie, qui assure la jonction des cambiums du porte-greffe et du greffon. Le développement d'éléments conducteurs spécialisés (vaisseaux et tubes criblés) permet d'établir des échanges plus importants d'eau, d'éléments minéraux et de métabolites. A histogenetic study of green-grafting between two compatible cultivars of Vitis Green-grafting was performed between Vitis berlandieri x V. rupestris 99 Richter (stock) and V. vinifera Carignan (scion). Various tissues from both partners contribute to the formation of the callus. During the development of the union, newly formed tissues originate preferentially from the cortical parenchyma cells and from the cambial initials (including those of the interfascicular rays). The relative importance of the different tissues in the development of the union varies according to the orientation of the cuts. The union between the two partners occurs preferentially at the level of the neoformed tissues and is accomplished through wall alterations and reorganization. A cambium differentiates within callus tissues, which connects the cambia of stock and scion. Newly formed xylem and phloem ensure efficient transport of water, inorganic and organic nutrients.

description: Float system is a less-intensive and low-cost technology that enables efficient control of the nutrition of the growing plants. The findings of experiments carried out under float system in various crops with or without organic fertilization need to be reviewed. The importance of float system for growing plants without inorganic fertilization and chemical pesticide use needs also to be pointed out. Float system can enhance root development of growing plants and control the height of produced transplants. This can result in increased yields and improved transplant quality, not only in tobacco transplant production systems but also in the case of vegetable crops such as tomato or lettuce. In the case of crops like tobacco and for the success of float system alkalinity and oxygen content of the water in the nutrient solution and selection of the growing media are crucial. Regarding vegetable crops, the combination of float system and organic fertilization can enhance root development in tomato as compared to the combination and lettuce resulting in high-quality products. Several aromatic and medicinal plants, including basil and spearmint, provide high yields and good product quality in floating systems especially along with organic fertilization. Conclusively, float system is a major method for producing high quality products or transplants. Further investigation is needed regarding the combined effects of organic fertilization and float system on more crops and under different climatic conditions.

description: In porous burners, premixed combustion of gaseous fuels inside the cavities of an open-pore ceramic matrix heats the solid material to temperatures of 1400 °C, which leads to the emission of electromagnetic radiation with its intensity maximum at infrared light. The net thermal radiation emission can be used for efficient, fast and uniform heat transfer in various technical applications. Improving radiation efficiency correlates to increasing thermal radiation flux at constant thermal power, implicating a potential for reduction of fuel consumption and associated emissions for a given application. Additive manufacturing techniques offer new opportunities in the design of ceramic structures. However, the design of an optimized structure requires detailed knowledge of processes and conditions inside the porous matrix during operation, the experimental determination of which is complex and challenging. Inside the porous burner, chemical combustion reactions coincide with complex interaction between thermo-physical transport processes that occur within solid and gaseous phase, and across phase boundary. Flow, heat release and resulting heat flows influence each other. The numerical model used in this work considers gaseous and solid phases, includes flow, enthalpy transport, conjugate heat transfer, radiative heat transfer between solid surfaces as well as combustion kinetics according to a skeletal chemical reaction mechanism. These phenomena are resolved on the pore scale in three-dimensional space (Direct Pore Level Simulation, DPLS). The calculations are performed based on the finite volume method using standard applications implemented in the OpenFOAM library. The reactive flow and enthalpy field are calculated for a lateral periodical representative element of flat twolayer porous burner in full axial extension of flame trap and porous structure. The present study presents simulations of three different structures, each at four settings of specific thermal power. Results indicate that specific surface area of the porous structure is a major influencing parameter for increasing radiation efficiency, whereas no correlation of the orientation of an anisotropic structure on radiation efficiency was observed.

description: Cadmium (Cd) is a widespread environmental pollutant which negatively affects bone health. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of Cd exposure on cell parameters, expression of specific genes and mineralization in cultivated human osteoblasts. Osteoblasts were incubated without (control group) or with CdCl2 at final Cd concentrations of 0.1, 2, 5, 10, and 50 μM for 2, 4, 6 or 14 days. Cell viability, morphological changes, alkaline phosphatase activity, mineralization, and an expression of 10 genes associated with osteoblast-specific pathways, oxidative stress and cell death were determined. Osteoblast viability decreased at the highest Cd concentrations (5, 10 and 50 μM) after 4 days of treatment. Our findings specified the threshold of Cd exposure with morphological alterations to 5 μM Cd following 4 days of cultivation. Morphometric measurements revealed significantly decreased size of Cd-treated osteoblasts when compared to the control. The alkaline phosphatase activity was dose-dependent with a reduction at 5 μM Cd after 2 days. Cd concentration of 5 μM significantly down-regulated the expression of COL1A1, ALPL, BGLAP, and GPX1 genes. On the contrary, BAX and SOD1 genes were over-expressed at 0.1, 2, 5 μM Cd and TNFSF11 gene transcripts showed an increase at 0.1-2 μM Cd. No significant impact of Cd exposure on transcription levels of WNT5A, RUNX2, and CASP1 genes was detected. Cd at 0.1 μM stimulated the mineralization, while the dose of 1 μM Cd had no effect. In conclusion, Cd exposure had adverse impact on human osteoblasts viability, morphology and function. On molecular level, it was associated with bone matrix protein synthesis, bone remodelling, cell death, and response to oxidative stress. The lowest dose of Cd had the stimulatory effect on bone mineralization.

'Going international' in Higher Education: a corpus-driven analysis of strategic plans in a Spanish university

Publisher: name: Zenodo

Subjects: internationalisation, higher education, institutional policy

description: IN THE PAST decades internationalization has become one of the main strategic goals of universities as a response to globalization and the need to attract international students and increase competitiveness. Many scholars have theorized about what it means for a university to become international because factors such as the local context, motivation, goals, strategies or even research fields can shape its interpretation (Albatch and Knight 2007, Childress 2006,2010, Foskett and Maringe 2010, Knight 2004, 2011). In this paper I use corpus methods to examine how ‘internationalization’ is understood by the different stakeholders —institution, faculty members, policymakers—involved in the university’s internationalization processes. Institutional strategic plans as well as faculty management documents and internal regulation from the institutional webpage of the university were compiled following McEnery and Hardie’s (2012) defining principles for corpus compilation. Antconc (Anthony, 2011) was used to retrieve frequency lists, keyword lists, and collocation patterns in order to analyze the meanings of ‘internationalization’ in context. Corpus findings indicate that mobility, international students, teaching in English, international publications or international agreements are valued as key indicators in the internationalization process, as the literature on internationalization in HE also reports (Childress, 2006, 2010; Luzon and Cardim, 2008). The corpus shows thatthe meanings of ‘internationalization’ in the corpus texts are mainly related to mobility, the presence of international students, international collaborations and agreements, study programs, dissemination of knowledge in conferences and publications, and language accreditation. Moving beyond these broader semantic correlations, of particular interest are the references to languages and language use in relation to internationalization. Corpus data shows that compared to the national language, Spanish, the use of English is closely associated with internationalization. Implications of language values and possible language tensions will be discussed. Villares, R.

description: We propose a novel application of 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC) polymers for enhancing the performance of modified segmented polyurethane (SPU) surfaces for the development of a small-diameter vascular prosthesis. The SPU membranes were modified by random-type, block-type, and graft-type MPC polymers that were prepared using a double-solution casting procedure on stainless steel substrates. Among these MPC polymers, the graft-type poly(MPC-graft-2-ethylhexyl methacrylate [EHMA]), which is composed of a poly(MPC) segment as the main chain and poly(EHMA) segments as side chains, indicated a higher stability on the SPU membrane after being peeled off from the stainless steel substrate, as well as after immersion in an aqueous medium. This stability was caused by the intermiscibility in the domain of the poly(EHMA) segments and the soft segments of the SPU membrane. Each SPU/MPC polymer membrane exhibited a dramatic suppression of protein adsorption from human plasma and endothelium cell adhesion. Based on these results, the performance of SPU/poly(MPC-graft-EHMA) tubings 2 mm in diameter as vascular prostheses was investigated. Even after blood was passed through the tubings for 2 min, the graft-type MPC polymers effectively protected the blood-contacting surfaces from thrombus formation. In summary, SPU modified by graft-type MPC polymers has the potential for practical application in the form of a non-endothelium, small-diameter vascular prosthesis.

description: The current study mainly focused on the biodegradation process of p-nitroacetophenone (NP) in the presence and absence of goethite mediated by iron-reducing microbe (Shewanella decolorationis S12) and electron shuttle. The results showed that introduction of electron shuttle could obviously lead to an accumulation of biodegradation intermediate, especially in reaction systems containing high content of electron shuttle in the absence of goethite. Goethite could enhance the degree and rate of NP biodegradation. The microbial reductively generated Fe(II) played an active role in the biodegradation process. The relationship between the concentrations of biodegradation end product and the reaction times could be fitted by a consecutive reaction model with correlation coefficients (adjusted R2) in the range from 0.9241 to 0.9831 during the biodegradation stage from the beginning to about 250 h of incubation. However, during the subsequent biodegradation stages, in the presence and absence of goethite, transitions from the consecutive reaction model to zero-order reaction model and from the consecutive reaction model to exponential growth reaction model were observed, respectively. The newly proposed two-step reaction model will help understand the mechanism of the biodegradation process of nitroaromatic compounds and related pollutants.

description: This study analyzes changes in solar ultraviolet (UV) irradiances at 305 and 325 nm at selected sites located at high latitudes of both hemispheres. Site selection was restricted to the availability of the most complete UV spectroradiometric datasets of the past twenty years (1990–2011). The results show that over northern high latitudes, between 55° and 70°N, UV irradiances at 305 nm decreased significantly by 3.9% per decade, whereas UV irradiance at 325 nm remained stable with no significant long-term change. Over southern high latitudes (55°–70°S), UV irradiances did not show any significant long-term changes at either 305 or 325 nm.

description: In 1825, Ribes described a case of a 45-year old man who died after a 6-month history of epilepsy, seizures and delirium. The autopsy examination revealed thrombosis of the superior sagittal sinus, the left lateral sinus and a cortical vein in the parietal region. This was probably the first detailed description of extensive cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST). Since then, the literature describing this disease has comprised of case reports, series and some newer prospective studies, including recent reviews and guidelines (statement) on the diagnosis and management of CVST (Siddiqui & Kamal, 2006; Stam, 2005; Saposnik et al, 2011; Brown & Thore, 2011). The cerebral venous sinus thrombosis is a challenging condition and it is most common than previously thought. CVST accounts for 0.5% to 1.0% of all strokes and usually affects young individuals. Important advances have been made in the understanding of the pathophysiology of this vascular disorder. The diagnosis of CVST is still frequently overlooked or delayed as a result of the wide spectrum of clinical symptoms and the often sub-acute or lingering onset. Patients with CVST commonly present with headache, although some develop a focal neurological deficit, decreased level of consciousness, seizures, or intracranial hypertension without focal neurological signs. Uncommonly, an insidious onset may create a diagnostic challenge. The main problem of this disorder is that it is very often unrecognised at initial presentation. In particular, a prothrombotic factor or a direct cause is identified in approximately 66% of the CVST patients (a list of most important causal and risk factors are listed in Table 1). Cerebral venous thrombosis is more common in women than men, with a female to male ratio of 3:1 (cited in Ferro & Canhao, 2011). The imbalance may be due to the increased risk of CVST associated with pregnancy and puerperium and with oral contraceptives. The female predominance in CVST is found in young adults, but not in children or older adults.

description: Measured and calculated results are presented for the emission properties of a new class of emitters operating in the cavity quantum electrodynamics regime. The structures are based on high-finesse GaAs/AlAs micropillar cavities, each with an active medium consisting of a layer of InGaAs quantum dots (QDs) and the distinguishing feature of having a substantial fraction of spontaneous emission channeled into one cavity mode (high β-factor). This paper demonstrates that the usual criterion for lasing with a conventional (low β-factor) cavity, that is, a sharp non-linearity in the input–output curve accompanied by noticeable linewidth narrowing, has to be reinforced by the equal-time second-order photon autocorrelation function to confirm lasing. The paper also shows that the equal-time second-order photon autocorrelation function is useful for recognizing superradiance, a manifestation of the correlations possible in high-β microcavities operating with QDs. In terms of consolidating the collected data and identifying the physics underlying laser action, both theory and experiment suggest a sole dependence on intracavity photon number. Evidence for this assertion comes from all our measured and calculated data on emission coherence and fluctuation, for devices ranging from light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and cavity-enhanced LEDs to lasers, lying on the same two curves: one for linewidth narrowing versus intracavity photon number and the other for g(2)(0) versus intracavity photon number.

description: Two-level emitters are the main building blocks of photonic quantum technologies and are model systems for the exploration of quantum optics in the solid state. Most interesting is the strict resonant excitation of such emitters to control their occupation coherently and to generate close to ideal quantum light, which is of utmost importance for applications in photonic quantum technology. To date, the approaches and experiments in this field have been performed exclusively using bulky lasers, which hinders the application of resonantly driven two-level emitters in compact photonic quantum systems. Here we address this issue and present a concept for a compact resonantly driven single-photon source by performing quantum-optical spectroscopy of a two-level system using a compact high-β microlaser as the excitation source. The two-level system is based on a semiconductor quantum dot (QD), which is excited resonantly by a fiber-coupled electrically driven micropillar laser. We dress the excitonic state of the QD under continuous wave excitation, and trigger the emission of single photons with strong multi-photon suppression (g(2)(0)=0.02) and high photon indistinguishability (V = 57±9%) via pulsed resonant excitation at 156 MHz. These results clearly demonstrate the high potential of our resonant excitation scheme, which can pave the way for compact electrically driven quantum light sources with excellent quantum properties to enable the implementation of advanced quantum communication protocols.
Developing guidance for the management of Government funded dwelling retrofit programs, evaluating occupant Quality of Life (QoL)

description: The aim of this doctoral research project is to evaluate the impact of dwelling retrofit funded through the Welsh Government Arbed 2 programme upon occupant Quality of Life and stakeholder decision making to achieve this goal. There are two contributions to knowledge documented in this doctoral research project. The first is a methodology for obtaining empirical data about the health and wellbeing (QoL) of occupants living in dwellings retrofitted through the Arbed 2 programmes in Wales, which is the Short Form 36 (SF36) health survey alongside the RAND scoring system ensured a patient (occupant) lead approach to gathering and scoring occupant health factors. The findings demonstrate the value and need for occupant engagement and QoL factors throughout the lifecycle of a government funded dwelling retrofit scheme, and something that is not practiced within industry. The second is a methodology for obtaining empirical data on stakeholder decision making for occupants living in dwellings retrofitted by Government funded programmes in Wales, using IDEFØ mapping. The use of stakeholder questionnaire, causal loop diagram, theory of change and IDEFØ language ensured the development of a decision-making process map. Through the occupant engagement (SF36) and stakeholder engagement (IDEFØ), the findings indicated that a multi-method approach would be extremely beneficial to both academic, as well as industry knowledge due to the gaps in knowledge. The IDEFØ decision making process tool with embedded QoL method was developed in case study B as part of this doctorate, providing a robust, validated, easy to manage and use decision making process tool for dwelling retrofit projects, aiming to improve occupant QoL.

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: Transcription is the first step in decoding genetic plan, where specific segments of DNA are transcribed into messenger RNA (mRNA). This process ensures that the genetic instructions are accurately copied and carried from the nucleus to the cytoplasm, setting the stage for the next act.

Once in the cytoplasm, the mRNA undergoes translation, where it is read by ribosomes to synthesize proteins, the essential building blocks of cells. This transformation involves converting the nucleotide sequence of mRNA into a specific amino acid sequence, ultimately forming functional proteins that drive cellular processes.
