description: Background Incorporation of the patient voice is urgently needed in a broad array of health care settings, but it is particularly lacking in the obstetrical literature. Systematically derived information about patients’ experience with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP), most notably preeclampsia, is necessary to improve patient-provider communication and ultimately inform patient-centered care and research. We sought to examine the information needs and experiences of individuals with pregnancies complicated by hypertensive disorders. Methods We conducted a qualitative content analysis of narrative-responses to an open-ended question from the Preeclampsia Registry (TPR), an online registry hosted by the Preeclampsia Foundation. Individuals were invited to enroll in TPR via social media, web searches, and newsletters. We restricted our analysis to participants who self-reported a history of HDP and responded to the open-ended question, “Is there any information that you could have had at the time of this pregnancy that would have been helpful?”. Available responses from July 2013 to March 2017 were included. Narrative responses were coded, reconciled, and thematically analyzed by multiple coders using an inductive approach. Our main outcome measures included participants’ expressed needs and additional concerns with respect to their HDP pregnancy. Results Of 3202 enrolled participants, 1850 completed the survey and self-reported having at least one pregnancy complicated by HDP, of which 895 (48.4%) responded to the open-ended question. Participants delivered in the United States (83%) and 27 other countries. Compared to non-responders, responders reported more severe HDP phenotypes and adverse offspring outcomes. We identified three principal themes from responses: patient-identified needs, management and counseling, and potential action. Responses revealed that participants’ baseline understanding of HDP, including symptoms, management, therapeutic strategies, and postpartum complications, was demonstrably lacking. Responders strongly desired improved counseling so that both they and their providers could collaboratively diagnose, appropriately manage, and robustly and continuously communicate to facilitate a partnership to address any HDP complications. Conclusions Participants’ responses regarding their HDP experience provide indispensable insight into the patient’s perspectives. Our study suggests that improved education regarding possible HDP complications and transparency about the consideration of HDP and its associated outcomes during an evaluation are needed, and efforts to implement these strategies should be sought.

title: The Real Oil Shock: Re-examining petrodollar recycling’s impact on international credit markets
Creators: name: Smith, Ryan C.
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2022

description: The debate on the origins and causes of financialization is one of the big questions of modern economic history. Beginning in the 1970s, the international financial world underwent a series of dramatic changes which pushed banking to the centre stage of a new economic order characterized by new channels and unprecedented levels of globalized lending. This process of financialization was the core of the new neo-liberal capitalist world system which defines the present Second Period of Globalization. Generally speaking, the main arguments over how this happened tend to centre on questions of government policy, typically whether state intervention in economic affairs created the crisis, or larger, global developments which re-oriented the structures of international capitalism. The Real Oil Shock provides further support for the more globally focused, materialist view by focusing on the birth of the endogenous petrocapital cycle, a period which began with the 1973 OPEC Oil Embargo and ended in 1982 with the collapse of oil revenues following the 1979 Oil Shock. Processing this new source of funds forced financial institutions to adapt to new market conditions, giving rise to many financial instruments which became central to the new neo-liberal world. This dissertation will demonstrate these claims by examining the British financial system supplemented with archival material retrieved from OPEC and the Bank for International Settlements. The key role played by British banks in facilitating the endogenous petrodollar cycle between 1974 and 1982 makes these firms, ranging from major international players like Barclay’s to regional actors like the Bank of Scotland, a critical window for understanding how this cycle developed during this formative period. These sources will show how petrodollars funded and initiated many of the innovations associated with financialization, providing a geopolitical, materialist explanation for the neoliberal economic revolution.

description: An interactive map shows the total sediment yield and the potential for mitigation strategies to reduce sediment losses from land to water by 2035. The map allows users to zoom in to any of New Zealand's catchments or regions, and swipe between two views. Swiping to the left reveals the sediment yield. Swiping to the right reveals the potential for on-farm actions to reduce suspended sediment loss to water. This allows New Zealanders to see which rivers, lakes and estuaries are under the most pressure from agriculture, and whether all farmers adopting all on-farm mitigation actions will ease this pressure by 2035.

Trinitrotoluol

description: Submerged munitions are present in marine waters across the globe. They contain energetic compounds (ECs), such as TNT and metabolites thereof, which are considered carcinogenic, exhibit toxic effects in marine organisms, and may affect human health. The aim of this study was to investigate the occurrence of ECs and their trends in blue mussels from the annual collections of the German Environmental Specimen Bank sampled over the last 30 years at three different locations along the coastline of the Baltic and North Sea. Samples were analyzed by GC-MS/MS for 1,3-dinitrobenzene (1,3-DNB), 2,4-dinitrotoluene (2,4-DNT), 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT), 2-amino-4,6-dinitrotoluene (2-ADNT), and 4-amino-2,6-dinitrotoluene (4-ADNT). The first signals indicating trace levels of 1,3-DNB were observed in samples from 1999 and 2000. ECs were also found below the limit of detection (LoD) in subsequent years. From 2012 onwards, signals just above the LoD were detected. The highest signal intensities of 2-ADNT and 4-ADNT, just below the LoQ (0.14 ng/g d.w. and 0.17 ng/g d.w., respectively), were measured in 2019 and 2020. This study clearly shows that corroding submerged munitions are gradually releasing ECs into the waters that can be detected in randomly sampled blue mussels, even though the concentrations measured are still in the non-quantifiable trace range. © Authors

description: Die Intention der vorliegenden Diplomarbeit war ein geeignetes Füllstück für eine Baulücke im 4. Wiener Gemeindebezirk, inmitten des Stadtverbunds der Blockrandbebauung, zu entwickeln und dabei Funktionen des Wohnens, Arbeitens und städtischen Lebens zu thematisieren. Dem Entwurf gingen Untersuchungen der im Verlauf der Gründerzeit stattfindenden Genese Wiens zur Großstadt wie auch der räumlichen Aspekte und Qualitäten der Typologien der gründerzeitlichen Zinshäuser, welche bis heute einen maßgeblichen Teil der Stadtstruktur prägen, voraus. Anhand einer Einordnung ausgewählter räumlicher Aspekte und Charakteristika wurde eine Grundlage an Themen und Motiven für den folgenden Entwurf definiert. Ein Dossier mit Recherchen, unter anderem zur Geschichte und Entwicklung der Wohnkultur sowie zu ausgewählten Wohn- und Geschäftshäusern der Jahrhundertwende in Wien, ergänzt die Erkenntnisse, die aus der genaueren Betrachtung der Raumqualitäten der Wiener Zinshäuser gewonnen wurden. Durch eine Ordnung von räumlicher Gleichwertigkeit, wie es in der Gründerzeit in der Form einer Vielzahl von einander zugeordneten „Zimmern“ üblich war, wird die Wohn- bzw. Benutzungsform dieser Raumsammlungen nicht vordefiniert, sondern freigestellt. Diese Erkenntnis bildet das zentrale räumliche Thema der vorliegenden Arbeit.
description: The intention of the present diploma thesis was to find a suitable urban infill for a vacant lot in the 4th district of Vienna, located within the structures of Vienna’s perimeter block of the„Gründerzeit“. The project should also address the accompanying functions of housing, work and urban living.The design of the project was preceded by investigations into the genesis of Vienna as a metropolis during the Gründerzeit period, as well as the spatial aspects and qualities of the typologies of the apartment buildings from this era, which still characterize the present urban structure. The classification of selected spatial aspects formed a foundation of spatial themes for the design of the ensuing project. A dossier with research, inter alia, on the history and development of the culture of living as well as on selected residential and commercial buildings in Vienna from the turn of the century, supplements the knowledge gained from the spatial investigations. Apartments of the Gründerzeit are particularly characterized by an arrangement of functionally undefined, similar rooms. The forms of living and use are not predefined, but rather open to interpretation by the inhabitant(s). This is the central spatial theme of this thesis.

description: Objective Neurofibromatosis 1 (NF1) is a rare autosomal dominant disease that causes the dysregulated growth of Schwann cells. Most reported studies of brain morphology in NF1 patients have included only children, and clinical implications of the observed changes later in life remain unclear. In this study, we used MRI to characterize brain morphology in adults with NF1. Methods Planar (2D) MRI measurements of 29 intracranial structures were compared in 389 adults with NF1 and 112 age- and sex-matched unaffected control subjects. The 2D measurements were correlated with volumetric (3D) brain measurements in 99 of the adults with NF1 to help interpret the 2D findings. A subset (n = 70) of these NF1 patients also received psychometric testing for attention deficits and IQ and was assessed for clinical severity of NF1 features and neurological problems. Correlation analysis was performed between the MRI measurements and clinical and psychometric features of these patients. Results Four of nine corpus callosum measurements were significantly greater in adults with NF1 than in sex- and age-matched controls. All seven brainstem measurements were significantly greater in adults with NF1 than in controls. Increased corpus callosum and brainstem 2D morphology were correlated with increased total white matter volume among the NF1 patients. No robust correlations were observed between the 2D size of these structures and clinical or neuropsychometric assessments. Conclusion Our findings are consistent with the hypothesis that dysregulation of brain myelin production is an important manifestation of NF1 in adults.

description: Cardiovascular disease continues to be one of the most prevalent medical conditions in modern society, especially among elderly citizens. This thesis reviewed the challenges of automatically detecting heart arrhythmias and developed a platform for remote monitoring with an emphasis on early arrhythmia detection and scalability. Additionally, a novel two-phase classification scheme was proposed and applied to an existing electrocardiogram classification algorithm, improving its predictive performance for arrhythmia detection. Testing of a prototype setup was performed on 27 unique patients at the Sarawak General Hospital to evaluate the effectiveness and future applications of the work.

description: We investigate properties of the quark--antiquark mesons at zero and finite temperature in the framework of a solvable chirally symmetric quark model with linear confining potential. The interquark interaction in the model is reminiscent of that derived in Coulomb gauge QCD, with the string tension being the only model parameter. We demonstrate that while the confining interaction induces spontaneous breaking of chiral symmetry at T=0, chiral symmetry gets restored at a temperature Tch ~ 90 MeV for the string tension fixed to provide the phenomenological value of the quark condensate. This temperature is similar to Tch ~ 130 MeV observed on the lattice in the chiral limit for N_c=3. The physical mechanism responsible for the chiral symmetry restoration in the confining regime is Pauli blocking of the quark levels, required for the existence of a nonvanishing quark condensate, by the thermal excitations of the quarks and antiquarks. Thus, above the chiral restoration temperature, the meson-like states are chirally symmetric and approximately chiral spin symmetric. A crucial property of the confined meson-like light-light states above Tch is their size that exceeds drastically that in the chirally broken phase below Tch, in contrast to the heavy-heavy mesons that nearly preserve their size irrespective of the temperature. This property is a result of Pauli blocking of the quark and antiquark levels with small momenta. Furthermore, the root-mean-square radius of the states with J=0,1 diverges in the chiral limit. This unexpected property must be a key to understanding unusual features of the hot QCD matter as observed at RHIC and LHC. Consequently, the confining but chirally symmetric matter above Tch can be considered as a dense system of very large and strongly overlapping meson-like states (``strings'').

Gravity as an Emergent Electromagnetic Effect
Creators: name: Miran, Walid
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: This paper explores the hypothesis that gravity is not a distinct fundamental force but an emergent relativistic effect of electromagnetic energy redistribution. By analyzing kinetic fluctuations in charged particle systems, it demonstrates that electromagnetic interactions inherently produce relativistic effects—such as time dilation and length contraction—that mimic gravitational behavior with an inverse-square dependence. The study reinterprets the stress-energy tensor in purely electromagnetic terms, challenging conventional models of dark matter and dark energy. Empirical validation from gravitational field measurements, relativistic time dilation experiments, and electromagnetic radiation observations supports this framework, suggesting a paradigm shift in our understanding of gravity.

description: Wasserstoff gilt als Energieträger für die Erreichung der Klimaziele und einer nachhaltigen zukünftigen Energieversorgung. Für den notwendigen Transport des Wasserstoffs in großem Maßstab und über weite Entfernungen ist eine zuverlässige Pipeline-Infrastruktur erforderlich. Umfassende weltweite Forschungsprojekte deuten auf die allgemeine Kompatibilität der verwendeten überwiegend ferritischen Stähle für die vorgesehenen Betriebsbedingungen von bis zu 60 °C bei 100 bar Wasserstoff hin. Dies ist jedoch nicht direkt übertragbar auf schweißtechnische Reparatur- und Wartungsarbeiten an im Betrieb befindlichen Pipelines. Ein im Erdgasnetz etabliertes Verfahren stellt das „Hot-Tapping“ dar, bei dem eine unter Druck stehende Pipeline im Betrieb angebohrt wird. Hierfür kommt ein an die Rohrleitung geschweißtes Formstück zum Einsatz, das die Montage der Bohr-/Lochschneidemaschine ermöglicht. In den Richtlinien EIGA 121/14 bzw. AIGA 033/14 wird darauf hingewiesen, dass das Anbohren von Wasserstoffleitungen kein Routineverfahren darstellt: “[…] a hydrogen hot-tap shall not be considered a routine procedure […]“. Dieser Aussage liegt unter anderem zugrunde, dass das Anschweißen des Formstücks an das Rohr und alle zu erwartenden Wärmebehandlungen vor und nach dem Schweißen eine lokale Temperaturerhöhung verursachen. Insbesondere auch an der Rohrinnenfläche, die dem Wasserstoff ausgesetzt ist. Diese erhöhten Temperaturen begünstigen die Absorption und Diffusion von Wasserstoff in das Material. Besonders zu beachten ist außerdem die lokal auftretende kurzzeitige Austenitisierung des Materials, die eine lokal stark erhöhte Wasserstoffkonzentration verursachen kann. Aus den genannten Gründen gibt diese Studie einen kurzen Überblick über die derzeit weltweit verfügbaren Forschungsprojekte zum Schweißen von Wasserstoff-Pipelines im Betrieb. Vorgestellt werden unter anderem erste Ergebnisse des Kooperationsforschungsprojektes H2SuD, das derzeit an der BAM bearbeitet wird.

description: Hintergrund: Die gesundheitlichen Auswirkungen von Luftschadstoffen reichen von kurzfristigen Gesundheitseinschränkungen über Krankenhauseinweisungen bis hin zu Todesfällen. Der Klimawandel führt zu einer Zunahme von Luftverschmutzung. Methode: Dieser Beitrag adressiert, auf der Basis ausgewählter Fachliteratur, den Zusammenhang zwischen Klimawandel und Luftschadstoffen, die gesundheitlichen Effekte von Luftschadstoffen sowie deren Modifikation durch die Lufttemperatur, mit einem Fokus auf Deutschland. Ergebnisse: Schlechte Luftqualität erhöht das Risiko für viele Erkrankungen. Durch den Klimawandel kommt es unter anderem zu einer Zunahme von Perioden extremer Hitze mit gleichzeitig erhöhten Konzentrationen von Luftschadstoffen. Die Wechselwirkungen zwischen Lufttemperaturen und Luftschadstoffen sowie ihre kombinierten Auswirkungen auf den Menschen sind noch nicht ausreichend erforscht. Zum Schutz der Gesundheit sind Grenz-, Ziel- und Richtwerte von besonderer Bedeutung. Schlussfolgerungen: Maßnahmen zur Minderung von Luftschadstoffen und klimawirksamen Gasen müssen verstärkt umgesetzt werden. Als ein wesentlicher Schritt zur Verbesserung der Luftqualität sollten in Europa strengere Grenzwerte zur Luftreinhaltung festgelegt werden. Notwendige Präventions- und Anpassungsmaßnahmen sollten in Deutschland zeitnah, auch in Hinblick auf klimaresiliente und nachhaltige Gesundheitssysteme, vorangetrieben werden. © Robert Koch Institut
description: Background: The impacts of air pollutants on health range from short-term health impairments to hospital admissions and deaths. Climate change is leading to an increase in air pollution. Methods: This article addresses, based on selected literature, the relationship between climate change and air pollutants, the health effects of air pollutants and their modification by air temperature, with a focus on Germany. Results: Poor air quality increases the risk of many diseases. Climate change is causing, among other things, more periods of extreme heat with simultaneously increased concentrations of air pollutants. The interactions between air temperature and air pollutants, as well as their combined effects on human health, have not yet been sufficiently studied. Limit, target, and guideline values are of particular importance for health protection. Conclusions: Measures to reduce air pollutants and greenhouse gases must be more strictly implemented. An essential step towards improving air quality is setting stricter air quality limit values in Europe. Prevention and adaptation measures should be accelerated in Germany, as they contribute to climate-resilient and sustainable healthcare systems. This is part of a series of articles that constitute the German Status Report on Climate Change and Health 2023. © Robert Koch Institute

Year: 2024

description: This research aims to design a low-power linear-in-decibel RF power detector using a 180 nm standard CMOS process. The RF power detector targets S-band frequency range (2 GHz to 4 GHz) applications in wireless communication and as sensing devices in the agriculture sector, where low-power consumption, wide dynamic range, and high sensitivity are required. The S-band frequency is suitable because most design of microwave ring resonators for agricultural applications operates in frequency ranging between 2 GHz and 4 GHz. The proposed power detector could also be used to manufacture cheaper VNA's which has multiple important applications at present time.

description: Improving the provision of supportive care for patients with Ebola is an important quality improvement initiative. We designed a simulated Ebola Treatment Unit (ETU) to assess performance and safety of healthcare workers (HCWs) performing tasks wearing personal protective equipment (PPE) in hot (35 °C, 60% relative humidity) or thermo-neutral (20 °C, 20% relative humidity) conditions. In this pilot phase to determine the feasibility of study procedures, HCWs in PPE were non-randomly allocated to hot or thermo-neutral conditions to perform peripheral intravenous (PIV) and midline catheter (MLC) insertion and endotracheal intubation (ETI) on mannequins. Eighteen HCWs (13 physicians, 4 nurses, 1 nurse practitioner; 2 with prior ETU experience; 10 in hot conditions) spent 69 (10) (mean (SD)) minutes in the simulated ETU. Mean (SD) task completion times were 16 (6) min for PIV insertion; 33 (5) min for MLC insertion; and 16 (8) min for ETI. Satisfactory task completion was numerically higher for physicians vs. nurses. Participants’ blood pressure was similar, but heart rate was higher (p = 0.0005) post-simulation vs. baseline. Participants had a median (range) of 2.0 (0.0–10.0) minor PPE breaches, 2.0 (0.0–6.0) near-miss incidents, and 2.0 (0.0–6.0) health symptoms and concerns. There were eight health-assessment triggers in five participants, of whom four were in hot conditions. We terminated the simulation of two participants in hot conditions due to thermal discomfort. In summary, study tasks were suitable for physician participants, but they require redesign to match nurses’ expertise for the subsequent randomized phase of the study. One-quarter of participants had a health-assessment trigger. This research model may be useful in future training and research regarding clinical care for patients with highly infectious pathogens in austere settings.

description: ObjectivesElectronic health record systems are increasingly used to send messages to physicians, but research on physicians’ inbox use patterns is limited. This study’s aims were to (1) quantify the time primary care physicians (PCPs) spend managing inboxes; (2) describe daily patterns of inbox use; (3) investigate which types of messages consume the most time; and (4) identify factors associated with inbox work duration.Materials and MethodsWe analyzed 1 month of electronic inbox data for 1275 PCPs in a large medical group and linked these data with physicians’ demographic data.ResultsPCPs spent an average of 52 minutes on inbox management on workdays, including 19 minutes (37%) outside work hours. Temporal patterns of electronic inbox use differed from other EHR functions such as charting. Patient-initiated messages (28%) and results (29%) accounted for the most inbox work time. PCPs with higher inbox work duration were more likely to be female (P < .001), have more patient encounters (P < .001), have older patients (P < .001), spend proportionally more time on patient messages (P < .001), and spend more time per message (P < .001). Compared with PCPs with the lowest duration of time on inbox work, PCPs with the highest duration had more message views per workday (200 vs 109; P < .001) and spent more time on the inbox outside work hours (30 minutes vs 9.7 minutes; P < .001).ConclusionsElectronic inbox work by PCPs requires roughly an hour per workday, much of which occurs outside scheduled work hours. Interventions to assist PCPs in handling patient-initiated messages and results may help alleviate inbox workload.

description: Falls are a major issue among older adults with cancer and lead to interruptions in cancer treatment. Resistance and balance training can prevent falls in older adults, but minimal evidence is available regarding the older cancer population, who often have unique risk factors. We used a pre–post design to assess the feasibility of a remotely delivered exercise program that progressed in difficulty and its efficacy on lower body strength, balance, and falls in older adults with cancer who had prior in-person exercise experience. Twenty-six older adults with cancer completed the intervention. Attendance rate for the virtual component was 97.6% and for the independent component was 84.7%. Participants perceived the program as rewarding and enjoyable (100%), felt this program prepared them to exercise on their own (92%), were confident to continue exercising on their own (81%), and would recommend the program to other patients (100%). The median balance score at baseline and end-of-study was 4 (IQR = 0). The median chair-stand time decreased from 9.2 s (IQR = 3.13) to 7.7 s (IQR = 4.6). A statistically significant difference in lower body strength (r = 0.68, p = 0.001) was detected post-intervention. The findings from this study can inform the design of a larger randomized trial.

Rational and generalised rational Chebyshev approximation problems and their applications
Creators: name: Peiris, Vinesha
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: In this research, we study rational and generalised rational Chebyshev approximation problems, their extensions, and their applications in different disciplines. Rational approximations are very flexible than other extensively studied approximation classes such as polynomial and piecewise polynomial approximations. This research explores many potential applications of rational functions. Some of them are theoretical, aiming at evaluating matrix functions, while some others are very applied, particularly, in data analysis where raw data are approximated by suitable rational functions to enhance the efficiency. Moreover, rational functions have recently attracted interest due to their potential use as an activation function in neural networks.

description: Este ensayo explora la relación entre la ilustración de la naturaleza, la comprensión de la biodiversidad y la necesidad de adoptar perspectivas multisensoriales y holísticas en nuestra interacción con el mundo natural.Se argumenta que la biodiversidad es un concepto complejo que abarca la variedad de la vida en la Tierra, incluyendo la diversidad de especies, la variabilidad genética y la complejidad de los ecosistemas.La ilustración científica se presenta como un puente entre el arte y la ciencia, que puede aclarar y objetivar conceptos complejos.Sin embargo, se destaca la importancia de ir más allá de un enfoque visual de la biodiversidad y adoptar una perspectiva multisensorial que incorpore la ecología acústica y la fenomenología de la escucha.Se critica la noción de "recursos naturales" por su implicación de una visión extractivista y antropocéntrica de la naturaleza, y se propone repensar la relación entre naturaleza y cultura.En conclusión, se defiende que la ilustración de la naturaleza, en todas sus formas, puede ser una herramienta poderosa para fomentar la apreciación de la biodiversidad y promover la conservación, siempre y cuando se adopten enfoques holísticos y multisensoriales.

description: With the increasing engineering applications of geothermal borehole heat exchangers (BHEs), accurate and reliable mathematical models can help advance their thermal design and operations. In this study, an analytical model with a time-dependent heat flux boundary condition on the borehole wall is developed, capable of predicting the thermal performance of single, double, and multiple closed-loop BHEs, with an emphasis on solar- and waste-heat-assisted geothermal borehole systems (S-GBS and W-GBS) for energy storage. This analytical framework begins with a one-dimensional transient heat conduction problem subjected to a time-dependent heat flux for a single borehole. The single borehole scenario is then extended to multiple boreholes by exploiting lines of symmetry (or thermal superposition). A final expression of the temperature distribution along the center line is attained for single, double, and multiple boreholes, which is verified with a two-dimensional finite-element numerical model (less than 0.7% mean absolute deviation) and uses much lesser computational power and time. The analytical solution is also validated against a field-scale experiment from the literature regarding the borehole and ground temperatures at different time frames, with an absolute error below 6.3%. Further, the thermal performance of S-GBS and W-GBS is compared for a 3-by-3 borehole configuration using the analytical model to ensure its versatility in thermal energy storage. It is concluded that our proposed analytical framework can rapidly evaluate closed-loop geothermal BHEs, regardless of the numbers of boreholes and the type of the heat flux on the borehole wall.
