ABSTRACT
As Electric Vehicle (EV) is now leading in the automobile industries, their ecosystem also needs to be created to overcome the limitations like charging problems. In EV industry, EVSE is as much important as we are giving to EV battery and charger. It connects our EV to the external world for charging our vehicle. Mainly, in case of conductive charging, external world is connected through EVSE to the vehicle to transfer the power in a control manner so that the required amount of power only can transfer to the vehicle. It also protects the vehicle from any fault conditions outside the world and also stops the power flow where there is any fault occurs in the vehicle itself. It also communicates with the vehicle to start, limit and stop the power flows. Depending upon the capacity of On Board Charger, the EVSE is decided.
There are various categories of EVSE available in the market such as portable EVSE, wall and mounted EVSE. In off board charging, the EVSE is integrated with off Board Charger. In this webinar, the various types of EVSE, the principle and function of EVSE will be discussed. Along with that, different industrial standards required to design the EVSE also will be discussed. How the charging process starts and what are the different voltage levels
are maintained during charging will be covered."

Structure of the Anaesthesia specialty training in the U.K.
Creators: name: Misquita, Lucia
Publisher: name: Journal of the Portuguese Society of Anesthesiology
Year: 2024

description: The document provides an overview of the structure and process of anaesthesia specialty training in the UK. Anaesthesia is a highly subscribed training with competitive entry into the program. The Royal College of Anaesthetists (RCoA) is the professional body responsible for setting standards for anaesthetists and anaesthetists in training in the UK. The anaesthesia training curriculum is set by RCoA.


Anaesthesia training is outcome based rather than time based in the UK. The indicative length of training is seven years and is divided into three stages. Trainees must complete the Primary and Final Fellowship examinations of the RCoA. There is also an option for out of programme training or experience within the programme architecture.


Doctors undertaking dual training in Anaesthetics and Intensive Care Medicine have a programme that allows attainment of capabilities in both curricula. Trainees may also choose less than full time training flexible options at any point in their training.

description: Immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapies, such as anti-PD1 and anti-CTLA4, have proved to be clinically effective in numerous malignant diseases due to their ability to maintain immune surveillance of tumors by overriding the mechanisms in which lymphocytes establish peripheral tolerance. However, these therapies act in a systematic manner and thus may lead to autoimmune-like side effects termed immune-related adverse events (irAEs) in many organ systems that can ultimately halt treatment or lead to death. Therefore, understanding the underlying drivers of these irAEs is imperative in ensuring the quality of life and safety of our patients on ICI.

description: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic disease characterised by a dense fibrosing of the lung parenchyma. An association between IPF and cellular senescence is well established and several studies now describe a higher abundance of senescent fibroblasts and epithelial cells in the lungs of IPF patients compared with age-matched controls. The cause of this abnormal accumulation of senescent cells is unknown but evidence suggests that, once established, senescence can be transferred from senescent to non-senescent cells. In this study, we investigated whether senescent human lung fibroblasts (LFs) and alveolar epithelial cells (AECs) could induce a senescent-like phenotype in “naïve” non-senescent LFs in vitro. Primary cultures of LFs from adult control donors (Ctrl-LFs) with a low baseline of senescence were exposed to conditioned medium (CM) from: (i) Ctrl-LFs induced to become senescent using H₂O₂ or etoposide; (ii) LFs derived from IPF patients (IPF-LFs) with a high baseline of senescence; or (iii) senescence-induced A549 cells, an AEC line. Additionally, ratios of non-senescent Ctrl-LFs and senescence-induced Ctrl-LFs (100:0, 0:100, 50:50, 90:10, 99:1) were co-cultured and their effect on induction of senescence measured. We demonstrated that exposure of naïve non-senescent Ctrl-LFs to CM from senescence-induced Ctrl-LFs and AECs and IPF-LFs increased the markers of senescence including nuclear localisation of phosphorylated-H2A histone family member X (H2AXγ) and expression of p21, IL-6 and IL-8 in Ctrl-LFs. Additionally, co-cultures of non-senescent and senescence-induced Ctrl-LFs induced a senescent-like phenotype in the non-senescent cells. These data suggest that the phenomenon of “senescence-induced senescence” can occur in vitro in primary cultures of human LFs, and provides a possible explanation for the abnormal abundance of senescent cells in the lungs of IPF patients.

description: This paper presents the outcome of a study focused on the evolution of internal damage in fresh cement mortar over 25 hours of hardening. In situ timelapse X-ray computed micro-tomography (μXCT) imaging method was used to detect internal damage and capture its evolution in cement mortar hardening. During μXCT scans, the temperature released during the cement hydration was measured, which provided insight into the internal damage evolution with a link to a hydration temperature rise. The measured temperature during cement mortar hardening was compared with an analytical model, which showed a relatively good agreement with the experimental data. Using 20 CT scans acquired throughout the observed cement mortar hardening, it was possible to obtain a quantified characterisation of the porous space. Additionally, the use of timelapse μXCT imaging over 25 hours allowed for studying the crack growth inside the meso-structure including its volume and surface characterisation. The results provide valuable insights into cement mortar shrinkage and serve as a proof-of-concept methodology for future material characterisation.

description: The experimental evolution of microorganisms exposed to extreme conditions can provide insight into cellular adaptation to stress. Typically, stress-sensitive species are exposed to stress over many generations and then examined for improvements in their stress tolerance. In contrast, when starting with an already stress-tolerant progenitor there may be less room for further improvement, it may still be able to tweak its cellular machinery to increase extremotolerance, perhaps at the cost of poorer performance under non-extreme conditions. To investigate these possibilities, a strain of extremely halotolerant black yeast Hortaea werneckii was grown for over seven years through at least 800 generations in a medium containing 4.3 M NaCl. Although this salinity is well above the optimum (0.8–1.7 M) for the species, the growth rate of the evolved H. werneckii did not change in the absence of salt or at high concentrations of NaCl, KCl, sorbitol, or glycerol. Other phenotypic traits did change during the course of the experimental evolution, including fewer multicellular chains in the evolved strains, significantly narrower cells, increased resistance to caspofungin, and altered melanisation. Whole-genome sequencing revealed the occurrence of multiple aneuploidies during the experimental evolution of the otherwise diploid H. werneckii. A significant overrepresentation of several gene groups was observed in aneuploid regions. Taken together, these changes suggest that long-term growth at extreme salinity led to alterations in cell wall and morphology, signalling pathways, and the pentose phosphate cycle. Although there is currently limited evidence for the adaptive value of these changes, they offer promising starting points for future studies of fungal halotolerance.

Altruism in young children: Exploring factors that influence helping behaviour
Creators: name: Martin, Dorothea U.
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Helping behaviour is fundamental to human interaction but its underlying motivation and origins have caused much debate - is it egoistic or altruistic, biological or acquired? Indeed, it has been proposed that young children might initially be relatively indiscriminate altruists who become more selective with who and how they help as they get older. The findings of this PhD research first highlight the effect of children’s self-awareness on their behaviour and second, show that young children’s selfless helping behaviour indiscriminately extends to a novel type of recipient; a robot. These findings further support the idea of a predisposition for altruism.

description: Allium triquetrum L. (Amaryllidaceae), a bulbiferous monocot, is native to the Mediterranean. It was introduced to Australia in the early 1900s, where it has subsequently become a significant invader of temperate forests throughout south-eastern Australia. Intensive chemical and mechanical control methods can suppress A. triquetrum infestations at the local scale for short periods of time but remain ineffective at sustainably curtailing its invasion at landscape and regional scales. In this context, we undertook field surveys across the Mediterranean (mainland France, Corsica, Sardinia) to determine the feasibility of developing classical biological control solutions for A. triquetrum in Australia. Despite extensive sampling (i.e. 30 surveys at 18 sites over three growing seasons), very few phytophagous arthropod and fungal pathogen taxa were detected on A. triquetrum. The most common arthropod species were the flies Phytomyza gymnostoma and Delia hirticrura, the weevil Oprohinus consputus and the moth Hysterophora maculosana. All identified arthropod taxa were considered generalists, having been found on other plant species, and some are known pests of cultivated Allium species. Twenty-one different fungal isolates were recovered from A. triquetrum, with most considered as saprophytic, secondary/opportunistic pathogens that probably infected already-damaged A. triquetrum leaves. Only four fungal taxa were found to be primary pathogens of A. triquetrum but have been recorded to infect other plant species. None of these enemy taxa were deemed to be suitable candidate biocontrol agents to help manage A. triquetrum invasion in Australia. Future research directions for improved A. triquetrum management in Australia are discussed in this paper.

description: The possibility of establishing a novel technique for reliably accessing glycemic information in a non-invasive, easy to implement method at THz frequencies via the fingernail bed is investigated. The nail bed’s major content is blood at its various glucose levels and is also partially protected from environmental conditions by the nail plate, making it a desirable platform for non-invasive glucose sensing. The study is based on a 2D computational electromagnetics (EM) model of the layered fingernail in COMSOL Multiphysics, where the required dielectric function (i.e. permittivity and conductivity) of the fingernail plate is measured using THz-Time-Domain- Spectroscopy (THz-TDS), and the glucose-dependend dielectric functions of the fingernail bed are taken from available experimental data in the literature. From this data a material model using a multipole Cole-Cole model is established for both, the nail plate and the nail bed, where the glucose content in the latter is varied from 3.0-19.0 mmol/l. A numerical analysis of the THz reflectometry at the fingernail in the frequency range of 0.1-2.0 THz revealed that the reflectance spectra are sensitive to the glucose content in the nail bed proving that accurate glucose sensing via the fingernail bed may become feasible around 0.2-0.4 THz.

description: Drug-delivery vehicles have been used extensively to modulate the biodistribution of drugs for the purpose of maximizing their therapeutic effects while minimizing systemic toxicity. The release characteristics of the vehicle must be balanced with its encapsulation properties to achieve optimal delivery of the drug. An alternative approach is to design a delivery vehicle that preferentially releases its contents under specific endogenous (e.g., tissue pH) or exogenous (e.g., applied temperature) stimuli. In the present manuscript, we report on a novel delivery system with potential for triggered release using external beam radiation. Our group evaluated Zein protein as the basis for the delivery vehicle and used radiation as the exogenous stimulus. Proteins are known to react with free radicals, produced during irradiation in aqueous suspensions, leading to aggregation, fragmentation, amino acid modification, and proteolytic susceptibility. Additionally, we incorporated gold particles into the Zein protein matrix to create hybrid Zein–gold nanoparticles (ZAuNPs). Zein-only nanoparticles (ZNPs) and ZAuNPs were subsequently exposed to kVp radiation (single dose ranging from 2 to 80 Gy; fractionated doses of 2 Gy delivered 10 times) and characterized before and after irradiation. Our data indicated that the presence of gold particles within Zein particles was correlated with significantly higher levels of alterations to the protein, and was associated with higher rates of release of the encapsulated drug compound, Irinotecan. The aggregate results demonstrated a proof-of-principle that radiation can be used with gold nanoparticles to modulate the release rates of protein-based drug-delivery vehicles, such as ZNPs.

Publisher: name: Journal of the Portuguese Society of Anesthesiology
Year: 2024

description: Switzerland's healthcare system is globally recognised for its access to care, supported by a robust network of hospitals and private healthcare providers. The Swiss anaesthesia workforce consists of approximately 2700 physicians, including specialists and trainees, with a notable presence of international medical graduates, predominantly from Germany. The country also relies heavily on nurse anaesthetists, who undergo extensive training to support anaesthesia procedures under physician supervision.

Becoming an anaesthesia trainee in Switzerland requires a medical degree compliant with EU or EFTA standards and proficiency in one of the three official languages (German, French, or Italian). The residency program is regionally divided, with different structures in the German-speaking and French-Italian regions. The Swiss anaesthesia residency spans five years and emphasises a competency-based curriculum that includes mandatory anesthesiology and intensive care rotations.

Training facilities are categorised into four levels (A1, A2, B, C) based on their training quality and scope. Residents undergo rigorous assessment through continuous evaluations, practical and written exams, and contributions to medical literature. The Swiss Institute for Post-Graduate and Continuous Medical Education (SIWF/FMH) oversees the certification process.

Challenges in the training system include managing workload and stress, with ongoing campaigns to reduce clinical hours from 50 to 42 per week and ensure teaching time. Long waiting times for rotations in A Level clinics and the need to match the growing elderly population with sufficient trained anesthesiologists also present significant challenges.

Addressing these issues through curriculum development, workload management, and increased training opportunities is crucial for maintaining the high standards of anesthesiology in Switzerland and meeting future healthcare demands.

description: In Greece, the updated 2019 program for the training in anaesthesia follows the guidelines of the European Board of Anaesthesiology, encompassing all theoretical and practical learning objectives. The training is time- and count-based, lasts for 5 years and can take place in 4 types of training centres. At the end of the residency, the trainee must provide proof of activities in the relevant logbook and is subject to formal assessment. As there is no recertification or revalidation program for specialists, in order for them to demonstrate their knowledge and engagement in lifelong learning, they are motivated to earn CME/CPD activities credits. Compared to the past decades, training in anaesthesia has improved, placing more emphasis on professionalism, but there is still a long way to go and many challenges, mainly regarding resources (human and infrastructure), still exist.

subject: acute calcific tendinitis
subject: longus colli muscle
subject: calcium phosphate crystal deposition disease

description: Acute calcific tendinitis (ACT) of the longus colli muscle is a rare and benign presentation of calcium phosphate crystal deposition disease. The calcifications are most frequently found in the superior portion of the longus colli muscle, which causes pain and a significant reduction in cervical motion due to inflammation of the anterior C1 and C2 prevertebral tissue. Literature suggests that ACT of the longus colli muscle presents following trauma or ischemic injury, resulting in the rupture of crystals prompting an inflammatory response.

Erosion potential of pipe embedment materials through defective sewer pipes
Creators: name: Indiketiya Hewage, Samanthi Renuka
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This research investigates the potential of sinkhole formation due to cracks or openings in buried sewer pipes. A new laboratory test apparatus was developed, and this was efficiently used to understand the mechanism of backfill erosion through the various size of pipe defects. The proposed methodology is also useful for the industry to evaluate the erosion susceptibility of various pipe bedding materials. The study highlights the risks associated with some widely used backfilling materials and provides a pathway to the effective control of sinkhole formation due to pipe defects by simply improving the pipe backfill without any additional construction or maintenance costs.

description: Broad-spectrum therapeutics in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are in demand. Most human solid tumors express proteoglycans modified with distinct oncofetal chondroitin sulfate (CS) chains that can be detected and targeted with recombinant VAR2CSA (rVAR2) proteins and rVAR2-derived therapeutics. Here, we investigated expression and targetability of oncofetal CS expression in human NSCLC. High oncofetal CS expression is associated with shorter disease-free survival and poor overall survival of clinically annotated stage I and II NSCLC patients (n = 493). Oncofetal CS qualifies as an independent prognosticator of NSCLC in males and smokers, and high oncofetal CS levels are more prevalent in EGFR/KRAS wild-type cases, as compared to mutation cases. NSCLC cell lines express oncofetal CS-modified proteoglycans that can be specifically detected and targeted by rVAR2 proteins in a CSA-dependent manner. Importantly, a novel VAR2-drug conjugate (VDC-MMAE) efficiently eliminates NSCLC cells in vitro and in vivo. In summary, oncofetal CS is a prognostic biomarker and an actionable glycosaminoglycan target in NSCLC.

Lifetimes, Not Project Cycles: Exploring the Long-Term Impacts of Gender and Development Programming in Northern Sri Lanka
Creators: name: Cadesky, Jessica Nicole
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2022
Subjects: Gender
Development Programming

Life Histories
Empowerment
Agency

description: The concepts of 'empowerment', 'agency' and 'gender' have been variously interpreted and applied by donors and development actors, and in largely instrumental terms. Theoretically, these concepts - as well as gender mainstreaming, the primary tool proposed to achieve gender equality - have drawn criticism for being disassociated with the original political intent to transform power relations. Practically, the current state of knowledge around the outcomes of gender and development programming is rife with institutional perspectives of donors and NGOs reflecting in the short-term, with voices of the constituents of development conspicuously absent. Understanding how gender and development interventions are perceived and experienced by recipients in the context of their life course is an urgent task required not only to improve the current state of knowledge, but also to understand what kinds of measures lead to positive societal changes. Drawing from ten life histories of recipients of gender mainstreamed development programming in Northern Sri Lanka, this dissertation probes how recipients situate and make sense of gender mainstreamed development programs as they navigate a post-war reality. Findings show that encounters with development programming and the development apparatus in general contributed to some positive social changes, with certain groups of women expressing agency and even moments of empowerment. However, the longitudinal scope of this study reveals that these experiences take place within the prevailing structural confines of insecurity that take place at the macro (state), meso (development apparatus) and micro (community) levels. These findings uncover how gender hierarchies and factors of identity influence these limits on choice, and therefore challenge current understandings of agency, empowerment, and the role of development programming within society. This research points to the limitations of donor-driven development programs that are ill-equipped to address structural issues of gendered insecurity, patriarchal societal norms, and deep-seated trauma. Further, this research offers new dimensions to existing frameworks around the interaction of masculinities, femininities, identity and conflict, suggesting that factors of identity must be complemented with significant experiences across a life course in order to understand how constituents receive and perceive development interventions, and to what extent these interventions are ultimately equipped to facilitate change. Methodologically, this dissertation offers innovative feminist approaches to foregrounding recipients' knowledge and experience of the development process, including pursuing more partnership approaches that include development actors, constituents, and researchers.
MODES OF ORGANIZATION AND MANAGEMENT OF ENTREPRENEURIAL PROCESSES IN THE CONTEXT OF THE HETERONOMY OF AN ENTREPRENEURIAL FIELD. AN ANALYSIS WITH REFERENCE TO ALGERIA
Creators: name: Dr. AHMED SADOUD
Publisher: name: Zenodo

Subjects: Entrepreneurial Capital, Entrepreneurial Processes, Management Entrepreneurial, Heteronomy, Entrepreneurial Leadership, Entrepreneurial Governance.

description: Abstract 

The modes of organization and management of entrepreneurial processes are subject to influences and even reactive effects exerted by the overall management of the economy. A historical perspective makes it possible to link this particularity to the entrepreneurial policies pursued at least from the launch of industrialization plans in the early 1970s. The main objective of the analysis is to show that the exogeneity of the logics of reproduction of entrepreneurial processes has powerful effects on their modes of organizational structuring and governance, on the choices of their commitments and on the inter-functional relationships to be maintained between them. On an empirical level, the task consists of reconstituting the organizational and managerial realities of large private groups (NCA ROUIBA, GENERAL EMBALLAGE, SIM, AMOR BENAMOR, etc.), of establishing the structure and origin of their skills and the nature of their strategic movements (diversification or conglomeration strategy, succession or takeover strategies, etc.). The results of the explorations and analysis (historical and qualitative) of entrepreneurial processes are of four types: Low complexity of production functions and inter-functional entrepreneurial relationships in the economy. Also, development of unrelated forms of diversification in the economy in reason for the distrust maintained towards large size at the political level. Additionally, the subordination of the evolution of private capital to the managerial capacities offered by the family space. Finally, with the shift of competition from goods markets towards the spheres of access to regulated entrepreneurial resources.
Development of carbon dots as fluorescent probes for fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) application
Creators: name: Nishi, Phyllis Jacqueline
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Carbon dots, a type of fluorescent carbon nanoparticles, were utilised as fluorescent probes to detect gene in human cells using a technique known as fluorescence in situ hybridisation. Carbon dots were synthesised by heating carboxymethylcellulose in an acid solution. Then, the carbon dots were neutralised, isolated, and subsequently attached to an oligonucleotide probe that binds specifically to a target gene or nucleic acid sequence. These modified carbon dot-oligonucluotide probes were incubated in cultured human skin cells and the detection of gene was visually confirmed via fluorescence microscopy.

description: At 1.4°C hotter than the pre-industrial average, 2023 was the hottest year in human history. As climate change escalates from an inconvenient truth to a global health crisis, we must reduce our individual and institutional carbon emissions wherever possible. The Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) recommends that residency interviews be conducted virtually to decrease costs, enhance equity, and lessen environmental impact. This study aims to 1.) assess the current breakdown of in-person versus virtual residency interviews in orthopaedic surgery nationwide and 2.) estimate the carbon emissions avoided by conducting only virtual interviews for orthopaedic surgery residency positions at OHSU this year.
