description: With the continuing surge of evidence on the endocrine and metabolic roles played by adipose and hepatic tissues, it has become increasingly important to understand regulatory pathways governing their development, to find novel therapeutic targets to combat metabolic disorders. Although much progress has been made in understanding their development, findings have been obtained using non-human preadipocyte and hepatocyte models, which make the translation of these findings highly controversial. Therefore, this research project makes use of human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) towards modelling hepatic and adipocyte associated disorders. Development of hepatocyte is assessed in the absence of FOXA2, an important marker for endodermal development and metabolic gene expression, while development of adipocytes is assessed in the light of multiple heritable gene variants by using induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) derived from the insulin resistant individuals. Our results showed FOXA2 to impact hepatocyte development at progenitor and maturation stages of development by impacting functionality of key transcription factors– HNF16, C/EBPA, HNF1B and functional – ALB, CPS1, TTR markers, whereas next generation sequencing of mature hepatocytes derived from FOXA2+/- iPSC revealed it to impact hepatocyte functionality by impacting genes regulating bile acid homeostasis and gluconeogenesis. Moreover, iPSCs generated from insulin resistant and insulin sensitive individuals gave us fully mature mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) characterized by high expression of CD90, CD44 and CD73, with low expression of hematopoietic markers. Generated MSCs allowed us to obtain mature adipocytes, whose sorting using Nile red gave a pool of pure adipocytes. This model would allow us to make tangible inferences on the effect of genetic makeup towards adipocyte development, without it getting perturbed by heterogeneity in cell population.

description: Крым – это рекреационный регион. Охрана окружающей среды имеет важное значение при осуществлении сельскохозяйственной деятельности. Усовершенствование технологии возделывания сельскохозяйственных культур за счет элементов биологизцации является актуальным. Цель работы – установить влияние биологизированной технологии возделывания озимой пшеницы на основные агрохимические показатели чернозема южного слабогумусированного. Исследования проводили в 2023 г. в шестипольном севообороте лаборатории земледелия ФГБУН «Научно-исследовательский институт сельского хозяйства Крыма». Элементы биологизации – замена черного пара сидеральным, применение комплексного микробного препарата (Микробиокомагро ) и жидких органических удобрений СанаМикс для предпосевной обработки семян и некорневой обработки вегетирующих растений. Определение в почве органического вещества – по методу Тюрина в модификации ЦИНАО, ГОСТ 26213-21, нитратного азота – по ГОСТ 26951-86, подвижных соединений фосфора и калия по методу Мачигина в модификации ЦИНАО, ГОСТ 26205-91. Математическую обработку результатов проводили по Б.А. Доспехову (1985). Согласно проведенным анализам, перед посевом пшеницы содержание гумуса в слое 0–20 см при биологизированной технологии было выше (на 0,67 %), к уборке этот показатель существенно не отличался по обеим технологиям. Обеспеченность нитратным азотом, подвижными формами фосфора перед посевом была выше по сидеральному пару на 1,4 и 0,67 мг/100 г почвы. Однако вынос с урожаем подвижных соединений фосфора и калия в слое 0–40 см при биологизированной технологии был выше, чем при традиционной. В целом же содержание данных элементов под озимой пшеницей изменяется от среднего до повышенного значения по P2O5 и от повышенного до высокого значения по К2О.
Differences between women and men with and without children in the household during the Covid-19 lockdown 2020 in Switzerland
Creators: name: Lanfranconi, Lucia
Year: 2021

description: The COVID-19 pandemic was an external shock, which provoked countries over the globe to put in place different versions of lockdowns, described as the closure of many services. In Switzerland from March 16, 2020 to May 11, 2020 most schools remained closed and most families had to take care of their children and other dependent household members. In this moment, the potentials, and freedoms to aim for what each person likes to reach in life was restricted to a high extend. However, not everyone was affected to a similar extend. This paper is based on an online survey with about 1 000 people – students and employees from the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts – Social Work – living in Switzerland during the lockdown. We analyzed the data that was answered between April 23 and May 21, 2020. The following research questions were asked for the four groups of interest; women and man with or without children in the households: Which differences between the groups emerge in the lockdown in the change of (Q1) behavior, (Q2) consequences from the lockdown as well as (Q3) the support system? Our results show for all three research questions main differences between persons with children in households, who were restricted more than persons without children in households. By focusing on gender differences in households with children, we find that women with children in the household were restricted the most in how they could realize their good life. This is true, by looking at their behavior, which was constrained through childcare activities, at the consequences from the lockdown, such as more conflicts, as well as a lack in their private support system, specifically around support in the private area. From our results we conclude that women did most of the care-work, however, our results also reveal some unexpected gender-patterns: Men with children in the HH, same as women expressed restrictions in their behavior and felt a lack of institutional support even stronger than women, which could have positive effects on gender equity. Our analysis suggests a need for a better-elaborated family policy for Switzerland, as well as a concrete support in childcare in the moment of a lockdown.

Optimization of the Design and Operation of a Healthcare Facility: The COVID-19 Case

Publisher: name: Manara - Qatar Research Repository
Year: 2024
Subjects: classificationCode: 40
subject: Engineering

description: As witnessed by the 1st wave of the Corona Virus, COVID-19 has overwhelmed hospitals worldwide and exhausted valuable resources such as bed capacities, medical equipment, personal protective equipment (PPE) stocks and healthcare personnel. These factors imposed unforeseen challenges on the design, operation and control of healthcare treatment systems. Logistical and operational inefficiencies are detrimental during pandemics and are amongst the biggest reasons why healthcare systems fail to minimize death rates and spreads of pandemics. In the inevitable chance of future pandemics, or in the chance of repeated waves of the COVID-19 virus and mutagenic variants, countries and healthcare systems must pursue ways to predict the growth and spread of the virus, implement strategies to contain it, and prepare their facilities and resources accordingly. Mitigating operational inefficiencies by learning from COVID-19 is necessary to be better prepared in the future and save many lives and economic resources. The main goal of this study is the development of an optimized healthcare treatment network by using epidemiology curves to predict future influxes of COVID-19 patients, and then to optimize the In-Patient (IP)and Intensive Care Unit (ICU) bed capacities in a hospital facility, and finally to determine required levels of personal protective equipment. Our model seeks to determine the optimized bed capacity based on the flow of patients, by distinguishing them in terms of medical severity and allocating patients in the best possible manner in an existing or installed healthcare facility with a fixed limited capacity. Considering the different dates of hospital admission and discharge of patients from 2020’s 1st wave of COVID-19 and the upcoming expected influx of patients, we will be able to determine the bed space availability at any given future date. This will enable us to prescribe innovative solutions engineered to increase the capacity, responsiveness, and preparedness of healthcare systems infrastructure and management. In a post-optimization step, the results of the flow of patients will also allow us to determine the number of staffing required for the expected patients, and consecutively the amount of PPE required to be used by those staff as well. This optimization will allow medical corporations to a) design and operate healthcare treatment systems and b) determine and allocate required resources in a time of crisis to withstand a medical surge.

description: The objective of this study was to quantify the economic potential of grass-based milk production strategies with limited use of concentrated feed in the pre-alpine region. We monitored 36 family dairy farms from the pre-alpine region of Switzerland divided in three study groups following one of three defined, voluntarily adopted production strategies: Partial grazing and barn feeding with freshly cut forages, supplementing <500 kg (GBF) and 1,200 kg (GBFplus) of concentrated feed, respectively, and practicing full grazing (FG), supplementing <100 kg of concentrated feed per cow per year. For three years (2014–2016), data were collected on the farms, and experience and ideas were exchanged and evaluated in a participatory process together with local extension services and researchers. Economic success indicators such as cost price and return to labor from each study group were compared with structurally similar control groups derived from the Swiss Farm Accountancy Data Network after completing an interactive standardization process, which largely balanced farm-specific features in the study groups. Compared with the control groups, the cost price (Swiss francs [CHF] per 100 kg milk) of GBF, GBFplus, and FG was significantly reduced by 20%, 20%, and 26%, respectively. Return to labor (CHF per hour) was significantly higher than in the control group for GBF (20.60 versus. 13.80), GBFplus (19.70 versus. 10.20), and FG (29.30 versus. 19.20). The comparison between the study groups also showed that lower milk revenues due to a lower use of concentrate could be economically compensated by a better input efficiency. A consistent implementation of the production strategy as well as personal qualities in terms of cost management seems to play a decisive role.

Adopting Environmental Measures in the Supply Chain: The Effect of Market Dynamics and Asymmetry of Information
Creators: name: Mohamed, Reem Mamoon Osman
Publisher: name: Manara - Qatar Research Repository
Year: 2024
Subjects: classificationCode: 40
subject: Engineering

description: This research examines market dynamics in the form of relationships among commodities, substitutes or complements, and their ability to incentivize the adoption of pro-environmental measures. The study focuses on firms in different countries competing either locally or globally. Understanding the behavior arising from such relations would enhance our estimation of the importance of environmental policy's differences with respect to market dynamics. For instance, when their competitor is confronted with cost-increasing stricter regulations, a substitute's reaction could indicate a marked preference for greener production through adopting more measures rather than benefiting from being an option with lower cost. The strategic interactions studied relate to supply chain outsourcing behavior, which currently dominates foreign direct investment from developed to developing countries. This research is conducted using econometric models to study survey data of firms adopting measures in their supply chain to reduce their environmental impact. The result is analyzed considering organizational behavior theories and sociocognitive dynamics that could explain the tendency to adopt such measures. The findings include the similarity of adoption behavior in some industries more than others regardless of regulatory differences. The second part of the research utilizes some of the empirical section's insights to build a game-theoretical framework tackling the underinvestment behavior among complements' producers. The model showcases how discrepancies in organizational learning and asymmetry of information in a market could counter pessimism regarding consumer willingness to pay for green products. Coercive methods, including financial support, can create a long-term advantage if presented by an upstream producer, which the market agrees on its superior market information. As a result, inter-firm signaling could yield higher sustainable investment than sharing information.

description: Seit Ende 2015 sind Sentinel-2-Satellitendaten frei erhältlich. Die hohe räumliche Auflösung, die grossflächige Verfügbarkeit sowie die häufige Wiederholung der Aufnahmen in für Vegetationsanalysen wichtigen Spektralbändern eröffnen neue Perspektiven für Anwendungen im Waldbereich. In dieser Studie wurde das Potenzial von Sentinel-2 anhand von Anwendungsbeispielen im Wald des Forstbetriebs der Burgergemeinde Bern (Schweizer Mittelland) untersucht. Hierfür wurden die Ermittlung des Laub- bzw. Nadelholzanteils sowie die Erfassung von forstlichen Eingriffen und natürlichen Störungen getestet. Vom Forstbetrieb erhobene Daten (Stichprobeninventur, kartierte Holzschläge, Waldbrandfläche) wurden als Trainingsdaten und für die Validierung der Ergebnisse verwendet. Mit einem Regressionsmodell, dem Sentinel-2-Daten von drei verschiedenen Zeitpunkten zugrunde lagen, konnten 56% der Variation des Laub- bzw. Nadelholzanteils erklärt werden. Dieses Modell war deutlich besser als die Modelle, die auf einem oder zwei Aufnahmezeitpunkten beruhten. Die Unterscheidung von reinen Laub- und Nadelholzflächen erreichte eine Genauigkeit von 90%. Die Detektion von Eingriffen wurde anhand der Unterschiede der spektralen Information aus zwei Zeitpunkten ermittelt und zeigte eine hohe Übereinstimmung mit den Angaben des Forstbetriebs. Dies war auch bei der Erkennung und Abgrenzung der Waldbrandfläche der Fall, was das Potenzial von Sentinel-2-Daten für die zeitnahe und grossflächige Erfassung von natürlichen Störungen unterstreicht.

description: Objective: To determine the prevalence, magnitude and transient patterning of RAEs according to sex, stroke type and distance across all age-groups at the Australian National age swimming Championships. Design: Multiple years of repeated cross-sectional participation data were examined. Method: Participants were 9595 male and female swimmers (aged 12-18 years) who’d participated in a 50 or 400m Freestyle and/or 100 or 200m Breaststroke at the National age swimming Championships between 2000-2014 (inclusive). RAE prevalence, magnitude and transience were determined using Chi-square tests and Cramer’s V estimates for effect size. Odds Ratios (OR) and 95% Confidence Intervals (CI) examined relative age quartile discrepancies (e.g., Q1 v Q4). These steps were repeated across age-groups and according to sex, swimming stroke and distance. Results and discussion: Consistent RAEs with large-medium effect sizes were evident for males at 12-15 years of age and with large-medium effects for females at 12-14 across swimming strokes. RAE magnitude then consistently reduced with age-groups across strokes (Q1 v Q4 OR range - 14 year old male = 1.77-2.29; female = 1.10-1.39). While noting a few exceptions, at 15-16 years, RAEs had typically dissipated; and by 17-18 years, descriptive and significant inverse RAEs emerged, reflecting overrepresentation of relatively younger swimmers. Conclusion: Performance advantages associated with relative age (and therefore growth and maturation) are transient. Greater consideration of transient performance and participation in athlete development systems is necessary. This may include revising the emphasis of sport programmes according to developmental stages and delaying forms of athlete selection to improve validity.

description: Steigende Emissionen von Treibhausgasen wie Kohlendioxid (CO2), Methan(CH4) und Lachgas (N2O) führen zu Klimaveränderungen und Extremwetterereignissen. Steigende CO2-Konzentrationen in der Atmosphäre, höhere Lufttemperaturen und variierende Niederschlagsereignisse verändern die Wachstumsbedingungen für Pflanzen und beeinflussen dadurch deren Ertragsbildung, Futterqualität und Nahrungssicherheit (Andresen et al., 2018; Augustine et al., 2018). Auch wird angenommen, dass im Grünlandökosystem unter erhöhten atmosphärischen CO2-Konzentrationen der Kohlenstoffkreislauf und der daran gekoppelte Stickstoffkreislauf beeinflusst werden und sich damit auch die Treibhausgasflüsse und –bilanz verändern.Zur Untersuchung von sich verändernden klimatischen Bedingungen, vor allem in landwirtschaftlichen Systemen, werden CO2-Anreicherungsanlagen verwendet. Mit Hilfe dieser sogenannten FACE-Systemen (Free-Air CO2Enrichment), lassen sich unter realistischen Freilandbedingungen der Einfluss von erhöhtem CO2in der Atmosphäre auf Pflanzen untersuchen (Hendrey & Kimball, 1994).Das Institut fürPflanzenökologie der Justus-Liebig-Universität Giessen, untersucht seit über 20 Jahren mit Hilfe eines FACE-Systems die Auswirkungen von erhöhtem atmosphärischen CO2auf extensiv bewirtschaftetes Grünland. Damit gehört dieser FACE-Freilandversuch zu einemder am längsten laufenden Versuche weltweit.

description: Background and Aims: Patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) suffer from diminished balance control. We examined whether 4 sessions of training with vibrotactile biofeedback (VTfb) of trunk sway could improve their balance control and provide a carry-over effect. Methods: Baseline trunk sway was first measured for 15 MS patients. Then they received head mounted VTfb of trunk sway which was directionally active when trunk sway exceeded limits set using the baseline assessments. Stance and gait tasks were trained 2 times weekly for 2 weeks with VTfb. Assessments with VTfb were performed at the end of each week. Two weeks later balance was assessed without VTfb to determine if a carry-over effect was present. Results: Assessments with VTfb showed a significant decrease in trunk sway after 1 and 2 weeks of VTfb training (p<0.02). Carry-over improvements were also present (p<0.02). The greatest effects were found for tests of standing eyes closed stance on foam which resulted in a 59% decreased pitch sway angle (p=0.002) with VTfb and a 51% reduction (p=0.03) carry-over effect. Conclusions: This study indicates that balance control in MS patients improves rapidly after one week of training with VTfb and more slowly subsequently. The carry-over effect lasted at least 2 weeks. Future studies should determine, with more weeks of VTfb training, the time course of the slower balance and carry-over improvements following the first rapid improvement in balance control. We conclude that training with VTfb of trunk sway significantly improves balance control in MS patients, and could possibly reduce falls.
Exploring Sustainable Approaches of Modernization and Regionalism for Mosque Design in Qatar

description: In this age of globalization and environmental crises, the ethical desire to design appropriately for a place, its climate and people through proper technology is increasing. The major problem that results from globalization is losing the local identity. The loss of identity in the contemporary cities has become a recognizable phenomenon which has led to social, physical, and environmental problems. There is a critical argument nowadays about the question of appropriate connection between the spiritual and secular aspects of religious architecture in Muslim societies. On one side of the debate are those who would limit the vocabulary used for a range of easily recognizable, traditional forms. On the other are those who believe that the only way to express the central role of the mosque in contemporary society is to rebel and utilize the full range of industrial materials and technology, in a search for a new architectural language, which sometimes leads to an international identity that cancels local identities. Yet, the main purpose of the mosque was to serve and reflect its community and local context, which has started to vanish now as a result of globalization. Due to globalization, many factors have affected the image of Doha, therefore, the local identity starts to get lost during this rapid urbanization. The intention of this paper is to focus on the fereej, or the neighborhood mosque in Doha, and how mosques’ design had significant implications on the development of the community. Thus, social functions in neighborhood mosques are crucial issue that cannot be undermined, however, communal value and identity of the Qatari neighborhood mosques has started to vanish. The purpose of this study is to investigate possible approaches to sustain the social, cultural and environmental aspects of the neighborhood mosque in Qatar.

It takes some effort. How minimal physical effort reduces consumption volume

description: Plenty of studies have demonstrated that effort influences food choice. However, few have been conducted to analyze the effect of effort on consumption volume. Moreover, the few studies that have measured consumption volume all have strong limitations. The goal of the present paper is to disentangle confounding variables in earlier research and to rule out various alternative explanations. In a tasting setting focusing on snacking behavior, either unwrapping a food product or grabbing it with sugar tongs was enough to significantly reduce consumption, regardless of whether an unhealthy or healthy food item was used. Hardly any cognitive resources seem to be necessary for the effect to occur, as cognitive load did not affect the findings. In light of obesity being a pressing concern, these findings might be valuable for individuals as well as for the food industry.
Using Intersensory Translation to Enhance Social-Emotional Literacy of Children with Autism

description: Storytelling for neurodiverse children, particularly children on the autism spectrum disorder (ASD), is critically important. Not only because it helps them to bridge between their inner world and the outer world in which they live, but, most importantly, because it helps them develop language skills and build social-emotional literacy, among others. However, rarely do we find picture books, if any, to meet the specific needs of these children. Out of the belief that positive outcomes are achievable through storytelling, I embarked on the mission of transadapting the picture book Calm-Down Time by Elizabeth Verdick. This book provides young children with coping skills to handle emotions with confidence and cooperation. The prototyping effort entailed developing a multimodal digital storytelling experience that could enhance the social-emotional literacy of ASD children. The outcome, which may be seen as a call for action, is an interactive digital picture book in a video format.
