description: This study investigated the nutrients and heavy metal contents in water body and sediment of the Napahai Wetland during summer through fluorescence spectroscopy and inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometer analysis. Results indicated that most of the heavy metal contents in water body are derived from municipal sewage when the stream passes through the town center. The primary organic compounds in the water body of the Nachi River and the Napahai Wetland were hydrophobic acid, fulvic acid, and aromatic protein-like compounds. Cr, Ni, Cd, As, Pb, and V contents in wetland sediments significantly differ from sampling sites and depths, and varied in the following order: V > Cr > Ni > Pb > As > Cd. Principal component analysis showed that the distribution of heavy metals was primarily affected by urbanization and secondarily affected by other abiotic factors.
Auf dem Weg zu einer adressat*innengerechten Behörden-kommunikation: Ausführungen am Beispiel der Abteilung Behindertenhilfe ABH Basel-Stadt

description: Die Sprache der Verwaltung wird seit ihren Ursprüngen als Rechts- und Wissenschaftssprache im Frühmittelalter als unverständlich kritisiert und gilt bis heute, trotz zahlreicher Verwaltungsreformen und Bemühungen in Richtung mehr Verständlichkeit als unverständlich, bürokratisch und unhöflich. In der Abteilung Behindertenhilfe (ABH) Basel-Stadt fand in den letzten Jahren ein Systemwechsel statt, welcher geprägt ist vom Grundgedanken der Behindertenrechtskonvention der Vereinten Nationen (UN-BRK) nach mehr Teilhabe- und Mitbestimmungsmöglichkeiten für Menschen mit Behinderungen. Zudem wird künftig der Anspruch einer adressat*innengerechten Behördenkommunikation im Behindertenrechtegesetz BRG im Kanton Basel-Stadt verankert. Vor dieser Ausgangslage soll in vorliegender Ar-beit der Frage nachgegangen werden, wie die Kommunikation der ABH gegenüber ihren Adressat*innen und insbesondere bezogen auf die Zielgruppe der Menschen mit Behinderung adressat*innengerecht ausgestaltet werden kann. Die bestehende Literatur und Forschung bezieht sich hauptsächlich auf die schriftliche Behördenkommunikation und macht zudem kaum Angaben in Bezug auf Menschen mit Behinderung. In vorliegender Arbeit wurden Fachliteratur und gesetzliche Grundlagendokumente mit Bezug zur Forschungsfrage analysiert und eine empirische Erhebung in Form von Expert*innen-Interviews mit Fach- und Peer-Expert*innen durchgeführt. Aus der Untersuchung wurden konkrete Empfehlungen an die ABH zur Ausgestaltung, Umsetzung und Konsolidierung der schriftlichen, aber auch weiterer Formen einer adressat*innengerechten Behördenkommunikation abgeleitet. Es hat sich dabei gezeigt, dass diese Empfehlungen zum grössten Teil sowohl für Menschen mit als auch ohne Behinderung Gültigkeit haben. Zudem sind die Ergebnisse auch auf Bereiche ausserhalb der Behörde verallgemeinerbar. Vorliegende Arbeit vermag damit einerseits einen Beitrag zu leisten, um die Lücken in der Forschung zur Behördenkommunikation in Zusammenhang mit Menschen mit Behinderung und zur über die schriftliche Kommunikation hinausgehende Forschung zu schliessen. Und andererseits vermag sie der Praxis eine Handreichung zu bieten, um die Behördenkommunikation künftig verständlich, transparent und höflich zu gestalten.

description: Intelligent transportation systems mostly operate on information exchange principle between vehicles and roadside infrastructure. They are commonly regarded as a base technology for persistent diminution of road accidents and traffic efficiency increase. However, intelligent transportation systems can also be used at all levels of transportation systems as a basis for stable development of cities, enterprises, regions, states, continents. According to the research, the existing intelligent transportation systems not only provide the considerable reduction of greenhouse gases emissions, fuel saving, time of travel cutting, but they don’t marginalize citizens’ mobility as well. Thus, the further development and introduction of modern transportation innovative technologies will allow to guarantee the energy- and resources efficiency and, therefore, the sustainable development of the whole society.

description: The reaction mechanisms of methylhydrazine (CH3NHNH2) with O(3P) and O(1D) atoms have been explored theoretically at the MPW1K/6-311+G(d,p), MP2/6-311+G(d,p), MCG3-MPWPW91 (single-point), and CCSD(T)/cc-pVTZ (single-point) levels. The triplet potential energy surface for the reaction of CH3NHNH2 with O(3P) includes seven stable isomers and eight transition states. When the O(3P) atom approaches CH3NHNH2, the heavy atoms, namely N and C atoms, are the favourable combining points. O(3P) atom attacking the middle-N atom in CH3NHNH2 results in the formation of an energy-rich isomer (CH3NHONH2) followed by migration of O(3P) atom from middle-N atom to middle-H atom leading to the product P6 (CH3NNH2+OH), which is one of the most favourable routes. The estimated major product CH3NNH2 is consistent with the experimental measurements. Reaction of O(1D) + CH3NHNH2 presents different features as compared with O(3P) + CH3NHNH2. O(1D) atom will first insert into C–H2, N1–H4, and N2–H5 bonds barrierlessly to form the three adducts, respectively. There are two most favourable paths for O(1D) + CH3NHNH2. One is that the C–N bond cleavage accompanied by a concerted H shift from O atom to N atom (mid-N) leads to the product PI (CH2O + NH2NH2), and the other is that the N–N bond rupture along with a concerted H shift from O to N (end-N) forms PIV (CH3NH2 + HNO). The similarities and discrepancies between two reactions are discussed.

description: Objective: The development of the adaptive occupant restraint system (AORS) has led to an innovative way to optimize such systems for multiple size occupants. An AORS consists of multiple units such as adaptive air bags, seat belts, etc. During a collision, as a supplemental protective device, air bags can provide constraint force and play a role in dissipating the crash energy of the occupants’ head and thorax. This article presents an investigation into an adaptive passenger air bag (PAB).Methods: The purpose of this study is to develop a base shape of a PAB for different size occupants using an optimization method. Four typical base shapes of a PAB were designed based on geometric data on the passenger side. Then 4 PAB finite element (FE) models and a validated sled with different size dummy models were developed in MADYMO (TNO, Rijswijk, The Netherlands) to conduct the optimization to obtain the best baseline PAB that would be used in the AORS. The objective functions—that is, the minimum total probability of injuries (∑Pcomb) of the 5th percentile female and 50th and 95th percentile male dummies—were adopted to evaluate the optimal configurations. The injury probability (Pcomb) for each dummy was adopted from the U.S. New Car Assessment Program (US-NCAP).Results: The parameters of the AORS were first optimized for different types of PAB base shapes in a frontal impact. Then, contact time duration and force between the PAB and dummy head/chest were optimized by adjusting the parameters of the PAB, such as the number and position of tethers, lower the Pcomb of the 95th percentile male dummy.Conclusions: According to the optimization results, 4 typical PABs could provide effective protection to 5th and 50th percentile dummies. However, due to the heavy and large torsos of the 95th percentile occupants, the current occupant restraint system does not demonstrate satisfactory protective function, particularly for the thorax.

description: The evaluation of the economic efficiency of regulatory schemes is essential for regulators and utilities. In this study it is analysed for the first time the welfare costs of non-marginal cost pricing in the water supply in England and Wales, by computing the deadweight loss of the water only companies (WoCs) that existed over the period of 1993–2009. The results indicate that the current price schemes can have substantial efficiency costs. Our estimates show that the loss of efficiency for the WoCs lies between 15 and 60 million GBP over the period 1993–2009. These amounts could have been redistributed either to the companies in terms of profits or to the consumers via price reductions. The methodology and results of this study are of great interest for both regulators and water utilities managers to evaluate the effectiveness of price regulation and make informed decisions.

description: Objective: The primary objective of this study was to identify whether the frequency of traffic conflicts at signalized intersections can be modeled. The opposing left-turn conflicts were selected for the development of conflict predictive models.Methods: Using data collected at 30 approaches at 20 signalized intersections, the underlying distributions of the conflicts under different traffic conditions were examined. Different conflict-predictive models were developed to relate the frequency of opposing left-turn conflicts to various explanatory variables. The models considered include a linear regression model, a negative binomial model, and separate models developed for four traffic scenarios. The prediction performance of different models was compared.Results: The frequency of traffic conflicts follows a negative binominal distribution. The linear regression model is not appropriate for the conflict frequency data. In addition, drivers behaved differently under different traffic conditions. Accordingly, the effects of conflicting traffic volumes on conflict frequency vary across different traffic conditions.Conclusions: The occurrences of traffic conflicts at signalized intersections can be modeled using generalized linear regression models. The use of conflict predictive models has potential to expand the uses of surrogate safety measures in safety estimation and evaluation.

description: Objective: To evaluate the effects of CO2 laser in the treatment of vulvovaginal atrophy (VVA) in postmenopausal women. Methods: VVA was assessed in 87 postmenopausal women (mean age 58.6 ± 6.9 years) before and after the treatment. The protocol consisted of three monthly treatments and included the treatment of vulva. Subjective measures included VAS (Visual Analog Scale) both for vaginal dryness and dyspareunia; DIVA (Day-by-day Impact of Vaginal Aging); a questionnaire on treatment satisfaction and one about the degree of pain during the procedure. Objective measures included VHI (Vaginal Health Index) and VVHI (Vulvo-Vaginal Health Index). Time points of the study were at the screening visit (T0), at baseline (T1), at week 4 (T2), at week 8 (T3), after 3 months since the last laser application (T4), after 6 months (T5), after 9 months (T6), after 12 months (T7) and after 15 months (T8). Results: Treatment induced significant improvement in the VAS score. After treatment, VHI and VVHI indicated no VVA and this improvement was long lasting. Multivariate analysis showed that the time of follow-up was correlated with better VHI and VVHI (p p Conclusions: This study shows that CO2 laser treatment induces a significant and long-lasting improvement of symptoms.

description: Objective: The cervical anatomy has been shown to affect injury patterns in vehicle crashes. Characterizing the spine anatomy and changes associated with growth and gender is important when assessing occupant protection. In this study, selected cervical characteristics were quantified.Methods: Computed tomography (CT) scans of 750 patients were selected from the University of Michigan trauma database; 314 were children and 436 were adults. Four variables were obtained: the maximum spinal canal radius, vertebral body depth, facet angles, and retroversion angles.Results: The cervical spine measurements varied with age and gender. The body depth increased nonlinearly with age. The average vertebral body depth at C4 was 9.2 ± 0.38 mm in the 0–3 age group, 15.7 ± 0.29 mm in the 18–29 age group, and 17.2 ± 0.46 mm in the 60+ age group. Pediatric and adult males had larger vertebral body depth than females overall, irrespective of vertebral level (P <.001). Compared to females, the vertebral body depth was 8–9 percent greater in male children and 13–16 percent greater in adult males. The average radius varied with gender, with male children generally having a larger radius than females irrespective of vertebral level (P <.001). Overall, spinal canal radius was smallest in the 0–3 and 60+ age groups and largest in the 18–29 age group. The C4 radius was 5.91 ± 0.17, 6.28 ± 0.14, and 6.73 ± 0.17 mm respectively. The radius was larger in the 4–7 age group than in the 0–3 age group, irrespective of vertebral level (P <.0001). There were nonsignificant radius changes between the 4–7 and 8–11 age groups and the 8–11 and age 12–17 groups, suggesting that the size of the spinal cord reaches near maturation by the age of 7.Facet angles decreased with age in children and increased with age in adults. The average facet angles were largest in the 0–3 age group (P <.1, C2–C6). Adult facet angles were greater in the 60+ age group than in the 18–29 age group (P <.0001, C2–C6). Males had larger facet angles than females overall (P <.01 at C2, C5–C7). The retroversion angles were largest at C6 and C7. They increased with age in children and decreased in the adult population; they were larger (5–22%) in the 18–29 age group than in the 60+ age group (P <.0001, C2–C6).Conclusions: The results obtained in this study help explain variations in cervical anatomical changes associated with age and gender. The information is useful when assessing differences in injury patterns between different segments of the population. Anatomical measurements of the cervical spine should be considered for the development of models used to assess injury mechanisms for various occupant age groups.

description: It is normatively desirable that parties’ policy positions match the views of their supporters, as citizens in Western democracies are primarily represented by and through parties. Existing research suggests that parties shift their policy positions, but as of today, there is only weak and inconsistent empirical evidence that voters actually perceive these shifts. Using individual-level panel data from Germany, United Kingdom, Ireland and the Netherlands, this article tests the proposition that voters perceive parties’ policy shifts only on salient issues while remaining oblivious to parties’ changing positions on issues that they do not consider important. The results demonstrate that issue saliency plays a fundamental role in explaining voters’ perceptions of parties’ policy shifts: according to this logic, democratic discourse between the elites and the electorate appears to take place at the level of policy issues that voters care about.

description: Objective: The purpose of our study was to better characterize and evaluate drunk driving for governmental reference in order to further reduce alcohol-impaired driving.Method: This article reports the characteristics of 1226 alcohol-positive drivers with blood alcohol concentrations (BACs) at or over the legal limit of 0.20 mg/mL involved in nonfatal traffic accidents in Shanghai, China, from 2008 to 2011. The mean BAC, age, and gender of these drivers are discussed as well as the vehicle types and times of day when the crashes occurred.Results: The mean BAC was 1.41 mg/mL and the mean age was 38 years old, and the vast majority of drivers were male (96.9%). The mean BAC of male drivers (1.42 mg/mL) was higher than that of female drivers (1.20 mg/mL). The mean age of male drivers (38) was also higher than that of female drivers (33). Distributions of vehicle types involved were studied. Cars had the highest percentage of occurrences (56.4%), followed by motorcycles (32.8%), electric bicycles (6.8%), trucks (1.5%), and bicycles (0.8%). It was found that these alcohol-related traffic crashes most often occurred between 7:00 p.m. and 10:59 p.m., representing 48.1 percent (n = 590) of the 1226 cases. Single-vehicle crashes were overrepresented (70.3%) in all cases. The mean BAC in multivehicle crashes (1.69 mg/mL) was higher than that in single-vehicle crashes (1.30 mg/mL).Conclusions: The results indicated a notable need for more governmental attention that would prevent accidents caused by driving under the influence of alcohol.

description: Aims: This study assessed the cost-effectiveness of ezetimibe with statin therapy vs statin monotherapy from a US payer perspective, assuming the impending patent expiration of ezetimibe. Methods: A Markov-like economic model consisting of 28 distinct health states was used. Model population data were obtained from US linked claims and electronic medical records, with inclusion criteria based on diagnostic guidelines. Inputs came from recent clinical trials, meta-analyses, and cost-effectiveness analyses. The base-case scenario was used to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of adding ezetimibe 10 mg to statin in patients aged 35–74 years with a history of coronary heart disease (CHD) and/or stroke, and with low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels ≥70 mg/dL over a lifetime horizon, assuming a 90% price reduction of ezetimibe after 1 year to take into account the impending patent expiration in the second quarter of 2017. Sub-group analyses included patients with LDL-C levels ≥100 mg/dL and patients with diabetes with LDL-C levels ≥70 mg/dL. Results: The lifetime discounted incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) for ezetimibe added to statin was $9,149 per quality-adjusted life year (QALY) for the base-case scenario. For patients with LDL-C levels ≥100 mg/dL, the ICER was $839/QALY; for those with diabetes and LDL-C levels ≥70 mg/dL, it was $560/QALY. One-way sensitivity analyses showed that the model was sensitive to changes in cost of ezetimibe, rate reduction of non-fatal CHD, and utility weight for non-fatal CHD in the base-case and sub-group analyses. Limitations: Indirect costs or treatment discontinuation estimation were not included. Conclusions: Compared with statin monotherapy, ezetimibe with statin therapy was cost-effective for secondary prevention of CHD and stroke and for primary prevention of these conditions in patients whose LDL-C levels are ≥100 mg/dL and in patients with diabetes, taking into account a 90% cost reduction for ezetimibe.

description: A pair of temperature and cosolvent-controlled assemblies of one dimensional (1-D) and two dimensional (2-D) Zn(II)-organic frameworks (ZOFs] based on 5-iodoisophthalic acid (H2IIP) and an auxiliary flexible ligand, 1,4-bis(triazol-1-ylmethyl)benzene (bbtz) with different structures, has been rationally designed and successfully synthesized. Results show that when the reaction was carried out under ambient condition, the novel discrete single-walled Zn(II)-organic coordination polymer nanotube {[Zn(IIP)(bbtz)(H2O)]·H2O}n (SWCPNT-1), which shows a fascinating 3-D supramolecular interdigitated columnar microporous architecture supported by face to face π⋯π stacking interactions and hydrogen bonds, was generated, whereas under solvothermal condition at 120 °C, an interesting 3-D-polycatenated array of layers, [Zn(IIP)(bbtz)] (2), which further extends into a threefold-interpenetrated 3-D supramolecular mesoporous framework with 1-D channels (ca. 3.46 × 1.54 nm2) through C–I⋯O halogen bonds would be obtained. Interestingly, the reversible in situ rapid rehydration from static air is significantly observed in the discrete SWCPNT-1, revealing its potential application as water absorbent and sensing material. The dehydrated SWCPNT-1 shows selective gas adsorption of CO2 over N2. Luminescent studies show that SWCPNT-1, dehydrated SWCPNT-1, and 2 exhibit blue fluorescence in the solid state. The water molecules in SWCPNT-1 affect its fluorescent property.

description: A new phosphorus-containing dicarbamates, di(N-carbomethoxylaminomethyl)benzyl phosphine oxide was first synthesized from tetrakis(hydroxymethyl)phosphonium sulfate (THPS) via five step reactions (Scheme 1), and its structure was proved by FTIR, (1H, 13C, and 31P) NMR, and MS. A series of thermally stable phosphorus-containing polyureas were synthesized via trans-ureation polycondensation of the new monomer with aliphatic diamines, including poly(propylene glycol) bis(2-aminopropyl ether), respectively. All of the above polyureas were fully characterized by inherent viscosity, GPC, solubility tests, and thermogravimetric analysis. The thermal gravimetric analysis results showed that the initial breakdown temperature of all phosphorus-containing polyureas was observed at above 265 °C while complete weight loss occurred in the region of 406–465 °C, which shows all polyureas have good thermal stability. GPC results showed that the maximum number-average molecular weight of the synthesized polyureas reached 59,100 g mol−1. The solubility tests results demonstrated that incorporating the ether moieties into the polymer main chain can enhance the solubility of polyureas in organic solvents.

description: André Bazin, one of the major film theorists of the twentieth century, famously entitled his opus magnum What is Cinema? Picking up where Bazin left off, Adrian Martin recently re-inscribed the question within the context of contemporary cinema in his monograph What is Modern Cinema? The appropriate question for us to ask here would be "What is BAD Cinema?" However, by raising this question I seek not so much to introduce the BAD cinema discourse, but to interrogate it within the broader interdisciplinary framework that Colloquy has consistently advocated.
The organisers of the conference "B for BAD Cinema: aesthetics, politics and cultural value", which took place at Monash in April 2009 and from which the contributions to the current issue have been drawn, traced BAD cinema's pedigree to cult film, paracinema and its early predecessors in the form of B-movies of studio era.

description: This study aimed to screen in vitro antitumour activity of the redox couple avarol/avarone against the human malignant glioma cell line U-251 MG for the first time. Compared both with avarol and positive controls used (temozolomide and doxorubicin), avarone was found to be the most active compound with IC50 value below 1 μM (IC50 0.68 ± 0.04 μM, 96 h). Considerable less DNA damage in the cells treated with avarol and avarone vs. doxorubicin (105 & 123% vs. 299%, respectively; untreated U-251 MG cells were used as a control, 100%), coupled with no sign of cytotoxicity against the normal human foetal lung fibroblast MRC-5 cells (IC50 > 100 μM), has actually pointed out the importance of this marine sesquiterpenoid quinone structure as a promising lead compound in development of novel brain chemotherapeutics.

Excremental Ecstasy, Divine Defecation and Revolting Reception: Configuring a Scatological Gaze in Trash Filmmaking

description: Scatology, for all the sordid formidability the term evokes, is not an especially novel or unusual theme, stylistic technique or descriptor in film or filmic reception. Shit happens – to emphasise both the banality and pervasiveness of the cliché itself – on multiple levels of textuality, manifesting it- self in both the content and aesthetic of cinematic texts, and the ways we respond to them. We often refer to "shit films," using an excremental vocabulary redolent of detritus, malaise and uncleanliness to denote their otherness and "badness". That is, films of questionable taste, aesthetics, or value, are frequently delineated and defined by the defecatory: we describe them as "trash", "crap", "filth", "sewerage", "shithouse". When considering cinematic purviews such as the b-film, exploitation, and shock or trash filmmaking, whose narratives are so often played out on the site of the grotesque body, a screenscape spectacularly splattered with bodily excess and waste is de rigeur. Here, the scatological is both often on blatant display – shit is ejected, consumed, smeared, slung – and underpining or tincturing form and style, imbuing the text with a "shitty" aesthetic. In these kinds of films – which, as their various appellations tend to suggest, are defined themselves by their association with marginality, excess and trash, the underground, and the illicit – the abject body and its excretia not only act as a dominant visual landscape, but provide a kind of somatic, faecal grammar for which to discuss the status of these texts as somehow unclean, forbidden, or distasteful, as cinema's "dark matter".
