description: Since 1990 mortality and morbidity decline has been more extensive for some conditions prevalent in low- and middle-income countries than for others. One reason may be differences in the effectiveness of global health networks, which have proliferated in recent years. Some may be more capable than others in attracting attention to a condition, in generating funding, in developing interventions and in convincing national governments to adopt policies. This article introduces a supplement on the emergence and effectiveness of global health networks. The supplement examines networks concerned with six global health problems: tuberculosis (TB), pneumonia, tobacco use, alcohol harm, maternal mortality and newborn deaths. This article presents a conceptual framework delineating factors that may shape why networks crystallize more easily surrounding some issues than others, and once formed, why some are better able than others to shape policy and public health outcomes. All supplement papers draw on this framework. The framework consists of 10 factors in three categories: (1) features of the networks and actors that comprise them, including leadership, governance arrangements, network composition and framing strategies; (2) conditions in the global policy environment, including potential allies and opponents, funding availability and global expectations concerning which issues should be prioritized; (3) and characteristics of the issue, including severity, tractability and affected groups. The article also explains the design of the project, which is grounded in comparison of networks surrounding three matched issues: TB and pneumonia, tobacco use and alcohol harm, and maternal and newborn survival. Despite similar burden and issue characteristics, there has been considerably greater policy traction for the first in each pair. The supplement articles aim to explain the role of networks in shaping these differences, and collectively represent the first comparative effort to understand the emergence and effectiveness of global health networks.
Network advocacy and the emergence of global attention to newborn survival

description: Globally 2.9 million babies die each year before reaching 28 days of life. Over the past quarter century, neonatal mortality has declined at a slower pace than post- neonatal under-five mortality: in consequence newborns now comprise 44% of all deaths to children under five years. Despite high numbers of newborn deaths, global organizations and national governments paid little attention to the issue until 2000, and resources, while growing since then, remain inadequate. This study examines the factors behind these patterns of policy attention: the delayed emergence of attention, its sudden appearance in 2000, its growth thereafter, but the dearth of resources to date. Drawing on a framework on global health networks grounded in collective action theory, the study finds that a newborn survival network helped to shift perceptions about the problem’s severity and tractability, contributing to the rise of global attention. Its efforts were facilitated by pressure on governments to achieve the child survival Millennium Development Goal and by growing awareness that the neonatal period constituted a growing percentage of under-five mortality, a fact the network publicized. The network’s relatively recent emergence, its predominantly tech- nical rather than political composition and strategies, and its inability to date to find a framing of the issue that has convinced national political leaders of the issue’s urgency, in part explain the insufficiency of resources. However, since 2010 a number of non-health oriented inter-governmental organizations have begun to pay attention to the issue, and several countries with high neonatal mortality have created national plans, developments which augur well for the future. The study points to two broader implications concerning how neglected global health issues come to attract attention: priority emerges from a confluence of factors, rather than any single cause; and growth in priority may depend on the creation of a broader political coalition that extends beyond the largely technically oriented actors who may first press for attention to a problem.
Children’s Digital Play during the COVID-19 Pandemic: insights from the Play Observatory

description: The COVID-19 pandemic has had an enormous impact on many aspects of children’s day-to-day lives, including their play. Measures such as lockdowns, school and playground closures, quarantine, isolation and social distancing introduced to curb transmission have resulted in major consequences for where, when, how and with whom children can play. This article reports on interim findings from ‘The Play Observatory’, a 15-month project researching children’s play experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic. Collecting data through an online survey and online case studies, the research offers insights into ways in which children’s play has endured, adapted and responded to restrictions brought about by the pandemic. This article focuses on children’s digital play throughout this period, including examples of digital gaming, online play, social media, playful creation of digital media texts and hybrid online-offline play. Drawing on theories relating to dynamic literacies, multimodal perspectives and the Reggio Emilia concept of the ‘hundred languages’, this article examines the role of the digital in children’s contemporary play practices and the specific affordances of digital play during times of stress, uncertainty and physical distancing. The findings highlight ways in which digital play continued, adapted, evolved and reflected children’s experiences and understandings of the pandemic. The study reveals the complexity of digital play and its place within contemporary digital childhoods, troubling simplistic notions of ‘screen time’ and highlighting the increasingly blurred boundaries around digital and non-digital practices, calling for educational approaches that value digital play as significant meaning-making.

description: Raman scattering measurements indicate that cis-bridged chains are retained in AuF3 even at a compression of 45 GPa - in contrast to meta-GGA calculations suggesting that structures with such motifs are thermodynamically unstable above 4 GPa. This metastability implies that novel gold fluorides (e.g. AuF2) might be attainable at lower pressures than previously proposed.

description: This paper attempts to identify the main factors influencing the decisions regarding educational choices of rural youth from Cluj county, Romania. In order to achieve this, data collected in three waves of survey, in 2007, 2011 and 2015, were combined. The three surveys used the same methodology, thus allowing us to test the stability of the outcomes over a period of eight years, to highlight the main changes occurring in this period and to test statistically the factors of influence on a larger sample. The results show that the share of those who intend to study further slightly increased in the period 2007-2015. Regression analysis lead us to five factors that have a statistically significant influence on continuing education: the parents’ attitude towards continuing education, the age, the number of siblings, the school performance and the computer skills of the respondents. Some other individual, family and locality-related variables also correlated significantly with the intention to study further. Based on the conclusions, some policy implications are discussed.

description: The objective of this report is to discuss the social, environmental and economic benefits of implementing the Pavegen in the new Student Union Building. The proposed Pavegen will convert human walking into energy, which will sequentially light up the floor. To fulfill the objectives two key analysis were conducted. The first one counts the traffic around the proposed Pavegen location to calculate the amount of energy generated and complete preliminary economics. The second is a survey which gathers student input on the Pavegen idea. This survey is used to help understand the social benefits and losses. To analyze the environmental aspect, the materials used in the Pavegen are analyzed. Also, the amount of CO₂ not being released into the atmosphere is calculated. These indicators allow for a full cycle analysis on the Pavegen project.

description: Global health issues vary in the amount of attention and resources they receive. One reason is that the networks of individuals and organizations that address these issues differ in their effectiveness. This article presents key findings from a research project on the emergence and effectiveness of global health networks addressing tobacco use, alcohol harm, maternal mortality, neonatal mortality, tuberculosis and pneumonia. Although networks are only one of many factors influencing priority, they do matter, particularly for shaping the way the problem and solutions are understood, and convincing governments, interna- tional organizations and other global actors to address the issue. Their national- level effects vary by issue and are more difficult to ascertain. Networks are most likely to produce effects when (1) their members construct a compelling framing of the issue, one that includes a shared understanding of the problem, a consensus on solutions and convincing reasons to act and (2) they build a political coalition that includes individuals and organizations beyond their traditional base in the health sector, a task that demands engagement in the politics of the issue, not just its technical aspects. Maintaining a focused frame and sustaining a broad coalition are often in tension: effective networks find ways to balance the two challenges. The emergence and effectiveness of a network are shaped both by its members’ decisions and by contextual factors, including historical influences (e.g. prior failed attempts to address the problem), features of the policy environment (e.g. global development goals) and characteristics of the issue the network addresses (e.g. its mortality burden). Their proliferation raises the issue of their legitimacy. Reasons to consider them legitimate include their members’ expertise and the attention they bring to neglected issues. Reasons to question their legitimacy include their largely elite composition and the fragmentation they bring to global health governance.

Initial-state radiation beyond O(alpha) is included in the structure-function approach. The calculation of the corrections is briefly described, and numerical results are presented for the total cross section. Both the photonic and the genuine weak corrections reach the order of about 10% or even more and show a non-trivial dependence on the Higgs-boson mass and on the scattering energy. We compare our results with two previous calculations that obtained differing results at high energies.

description: Building on transaction cost economics theoretical framework, we examined the determinants of long-term business relationships between farmers and buyers in the Albanian dairy chain in a context characterised by weak institutions and lack of formal contract. Logistic regression analysis was employed to test the model on primary data collected from a sample of 315 Albanian farmers engaged in the production of sheep and goat milk. The study results support our hypotheses that trust, uncertainty and investment in specific assets are key determinants of long-term relationships. Implications at managerial and policy-making levels are discussed. At a managerial level, dairy owners and managers need to build trust with farmers and mitigate uncertainties as a precondition for long-term relationships. At the policy level, the government subsidy schemes need to be further refined in order to motivate farmers to increase flock size and strengthen vertical relationships in the dairy value chain, the latter being a precondition also to achieve traceability and improve standards.

Global health as a field of power relations : A response to recent commentaries
Creators: name: Shiffman, Jeremy
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Actors working in global health often portray it as an enterprise grounded in principled concerns, advanced by individuals and organizations who draw on scientific evidence to pursue health equity. This portrait is incomplete. It is also a field of power relations—a social arena in which actors claim and draw on expertise and moral authority to gain influence and pursue career, organizational and national interests. A clear understanding of how power operates in this field is necessary to ensure that it is used productively to serve the aims of health equity and improved population health. Responding to commentaries on an editorial published in this journal, I offer 3 ideas toward this end: (1) be skeptical of the global health rationality project—the effort to rescue the field from the alleged indignities of politics through the application of scientific methods; (2) analyze global health as a field of power relations, a concept developed by sociologist Pierre Bourdieu; and (3) elevate the place of input legitimacy—inclusive deliberation, fair process and transparency—to address legitimacy and knowledge deficits in this field.

description: This paper presents a critical discussion of the concepts of farm-level viability, sustainability and resilience, which are typically discussed separately in the literature. While farm-level viability frequently focuses on measurable economic factors, sustainability is comparatively more elusive because of its added social, cultural and ecological dimensions. Resilience, in turn, is unambiguous in the sense that it requires particular conditions, but is achieved in dynamic ways. A traditional resilience strategy in agriculture globally is co-operative action, involving farmers working together to enhance their viability and sustainability, often achieving resilience. We draw attention to agricultural development models that are distinctive because they leverage co-operative action in and between family farms in agricultural communities while pursuing integrated viability, sustainability and resilience strategies. We focus on the prospect of such rural development models, particularly a values-based supply chain approach, and identify crucial considerations and future research needs.

 Osirinus fritzi Roig-Alsina, 1989: 20. Holotype female, Argentina: Entre Rios, Palmar de Colón (MACN; not examined).
 Comments
 Roig-Alsina compared fritzi to what he thought was rutilans based on a specimen identified by Shanks. As explained below, this specimen is actually santiagoi. These two species seem to be closely allied, differing mainly in the characters given in the key. Roig-Alsina also used the proportion between the lengths of the posterior and apical margins of the 1st submarginal cell to distinguish santiagoi (his rutilans) from fritzi. This proportion varied from 1.3 to 1.6 in the specimens of santiagoi examined, the lower limit being too close to the value of 1.25 given for the type of fritzi. He also mentions that santiagoi lacks stiff setae on the hind tibiae, these setae being present along the posterior (his dorsal) margin in fritzi. We do not agree, however, with his interpretation, since the outer surface of the hind tibiae in santiagoi has abundant stiff, simple setae intermixed with the finely plumose pubescence. Nevertheless, the stiff setae in santiagoi are somewhat slender and lighter coloured when compared to those present in fritzi.
The male specimen examined agrees with the description of the female holotype, except as follows: proportion of 1st to 2nd flagellomere 1.1:1; proportion of lengths of submarginal cells on posterior margin 1:0.9:1; ‘basal vein’ of forewing arising apical to vein cu-a. Its S7, S8 and genitalia are depicted in figures 1–5, respectively.
 Material examined Argentina, Entre Rios: one male (MACN), ‘ARG.-E. RIOS, Liebig, Zelich’.

description: There are problems in the functioning of the food supply chain related to price transmission and value-added distribution. Vertical price transmission analysis is an important research area in the aspect of the assessment of impact on the welfare at the producer, processor and retailer levels. The paper investigates vertical price transmission along the whole milk supply chain after the end of European Union milk quotas in the Slovak market using a vector error correction model. Monthly farm-gate, processor and retail prices in the Slovak Republic covering the period from 2010 to 2016 were used in the analysis. Using the Johansen co-integration technique, empirical evidence has been found for two co-integration equations between farm-gate, processor and retail prices. We show that short-term and long-term bilateral causal relationships exist between prices at different market stages. The estimation of the price transmission elasticity supports the assumption that price changes are not transmitted efficiently from one level to another. However, symmetric price transmission exists between farm-gate and processor prices for whole milk in the long term. The perfect price transmission may also be due to recently emerging and strengthening the producer organisations that enable producers support their bargaining position in the supply chain.

Re-Analysis of Polarization in the Gamma-ray flux of GRB 021206

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: (abridged) A previous analysis of the Reuven Ramaty High Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imager observation of GRB 021206 found that the gamma-ray flux was 80+/-20 polarized. We re-examine this data and find no signal that can be interpreted as due to polarization. First, we find that the number of scattering events suitable for measuring polarization -- having been scattered from one detector to another, with a count produced in both -- is considerably lower than estimated by Coburn and Boggs (2003; CB03), by a factor of 10. The signal-to-noise of the data-set is thus too low to produce a detection, even from a 100% polarized source. Nonetheless, we develop a polarization-detection analysis limited in sensitivity only by Poisson noise, which does not require a space-craft mass model to detect polarization, as in CB03. We find no signal which might be interpreted as due to polarization. Separately, we reproduce the CB03 signal and show that it is not due to polarization. Rather, the CB03 signal is consistent with the previously-neglected systematic uncertainty in the ``null lightcurve'' used for detection. Due to the low signal-to-noise ratio of the RHESSI data, our Poisson noise-limited analysis results in an upper limit consistent with 100%-polarization of the gamma-ray flux from GRB 021206. Thus, no observational constraint on the polarization of GRB 021206 can be derived from these data.

description: Realizing a fully connected network of quantum processors requires the ability to distribute quantum entanglement. For distant processing nodes, this can be achieved by generating, routing, and capturing spatially entangled itinerant photons. In this work, we demonstrate the deterministic generation of such photons using superconducting transmon qubits that are directly coupled to a waveguide. In particular, we generate two-photon N00N states and show that the state and spatial entanglement of the emitted photons are tunable via the qubit frequencies. Using quadrature amplitude detection, we reconstruct the moments and correlations of the photonic modes and demonstrate state preparation fidelities of $84\%$. Our results provide a path towards realizing quantum communication and teleportation protocols using itinerant photons generated by quantum interference within a waveguide quantum electrodynamics architecture.

Distance Educational Links: a qualitative study on the perception of kindergarten teachers
Creators: name: Zecca, Luisa
Publisher: name: Journal of e-Learning and Knowledge Society
Year: 2021

description: The outbreak of novel coronavirus infection that originated in 2020 resulted in the immediate closure of all Italian school services for several months. Children who attend ECEC (Early Childhood Education and Care) services have particularly suffered from not being able to take advantage of consolidated distance learning models specifically designed for them. The main priority was to re-establish the bond between them and the teachers so that the educational path they embarked on did not disappear from their daily lives. To this end, LEADs (Distance Educational Links) have been established in Italy, a new relational modality involving children, teachers, and families, who could rely exclusively on communication through digital devices. The research presented here explored what happened during the first lockdown phase, corresponding to the start of LEADs, and during the resumption of the school in presence. The study aimed to detect and record reactions, experiences, and changes in children, families, and teachers, with attention to new pedagogical and social practices and a main focus on the unprecedented use of technology as the primary tool to maintain the bond. IT devices revealed new potential as relational and educational resources, making them indispensable during emergencies, not only for basic communication but also for recreating the setting in which bonding occurs and is built. Bonding was possible even at a distance because technology supported it. The unprecedented involvement of families as educational partners, the rethinking of teachers’ roles, and close collaboration among colleagues emerged as equally significant results.

title: Evaluation of the efficacy and safety of primaquine for clearance of gametocytes in uncomplicated falciparum malaria in Uganda
Creators: name: Eziefula, C
Publisher: name: London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine
Year: 2020

description: Background: After standard effective antimalarial treatment with artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT), a proportion of individuals remain infectious to mosquitoes, enabling onward transmission. This is due to persisting gametocytes, the sexual stage of the malaria parasite. Primaquine, an 8-aminoquinoline drug, sterilizes and clears gametocytes. The World Health Organization recommends that, in areas where malaria elimination is targeted, a single dose of primaquine should be given in addition to standard antimalarial treatment. Despite its recommendation in WHO guidelines since the 1970s, the optimal dose of primaquine for this purpose had not been determined. Primaquine is associated with haemolytic toxicity in individuals with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency, a condition that is prevalent in malaria-endemic regions. This thesis presents the first dose ranging trial to assess the safety and efficacy of reducing doses of primaquine in combination with ACT to treat children with uncomplicated falciparum malaria infection. Methods: A literature review was conducted to inform a novel, evidence-based trial design. Based in Jinja, Uganda, this randomised, double-blind, and placebo-controlled trial had four parallel treatment groups of reducing doses of primaquine plus ACT. Results: For trial participants, a single dose of 0.4mg/kg primaquine base had non-inferior efficacy (measured by gametocyte clearance) to the WHO-recommended dose of 0.75mg/kg, whereas a dose of 0.1mg/kg was not non-inferior. There was no significant haemolysis in any of the treatment arms and the fall in haemoglobin was not associated with the dose of primaquine. However, a sub-analysis showed a dose-dependent reduction in haemoglobin in participants who were G6PD deficient (heterozygous or hemi-/homozygous genotype). Subsequently, the WHO reduced the recommended dose to 0.25mg/kg primaquine base

description: Actors working in global health often portray it as an enterprise grounded in principled concerns, advanced by individuals and organizations who draw on scientific evidence to pursue health equity. This portrait is incomplete. It is also a field of power relations—a social arena in which actors claim and draw on expertise and moral authority to gain influence and pursue career, organizational and national interests. A clear understanding of how power operates in this field is necessary to ensure that it is used productively to serve the aims of health equity and improved population health. Responding to commentaries on an editorial published in this journal, I offer 3 ideas toward this end: (1) be skeptical of the global health rationality project—the effort to rescue the field from the alleged indignities of politics through the application of scientific methods; (2) analyze global health as a field of power relations, a concept developed by sociologist Pierre Bourdieu; and (3) elevate the place of input legitimacy—inclusive deliberation, fair process and transparency—to address legitimacy and knowledge deficits in this field.
Four challenges that clobal health networks face
Creators: name: Shiffman, Jeremy
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Global health networks, webs of individuals and organizations with a shared concern for a particular condition, have proliferated over the past quarter century. They differ in their effectiveness, a factor that may help explain why resource allocations vary across health conditions and do not correspond closely with disease burden. Drawing on findings from recently concluded studies of eight global health networks—addressing alcohol harm, early childhood development (ECD), maternal mortality, neonatal mortality, pneumonia, surgically-treatable conditions, tobacco use, and tuberculosis—I identify four challenges that networks face in generating attention and resources for the conditions that concern them. The first is problem definition: generating consensus on what the problem is and how it should be addressed. The second is positioning: portraying the issue in ways that inspire external audiences to act. The third is coalition-building: forging alliances with these external actors, particularly ones outside the health sector. The fourth is governance: establishing institutions to facilitate collective action. Research indicates that global health networks that effectively tackle these challenges are more likely to garner support to address the conditions that concern them. In addition to the effectiveness of networks, I also consider their legitimacy, identifying reasons both to affirm and to question their right to exert power.
Empirical evidence and research perspectives on the use of didactic video: with a focus on the health professions

description: The article presents a brief overview and a critical analysis of the emerging evidence in international literature regarding the use of audiovisual texts, with a focus on the didactic video to support professional medical education. The study of cognitive artifacts used in the representation of knowledge is not a new phenomenon, but with the Covid-19 emergency there has been renewed interest in this area of research. Evidence highlights how audiovisual texts can perform very diversified, rich and stimulating functions from a pedagogical point of view. In particular, a new direction of research on the significant role of the camera point of view (first person or subjective) in learning complex manual procedures is of great interest in the health professions. A number of critical issues are also clear.

description: A study of the agricultural factor markets that support the farm economy of the southeastern United States aids the understanding of how farmers change the mix of factors as product and factor prices change. Factor demand elasticities were estimated for capital, land, labour, chemicals, energy and other intermediate inputs. On average, labour accounted for USD 0.410 of every USD 1 spent on agricultural inputs followed by other intermediate inputs, which accounted for USD 0.255. The demands for farm labour and other intermediate inputs were inelastic. The demand for farm chemicals was elastic, which indicates a lack of pricing power by companies that sell them. A substantial reduction in the use of farm chemicals could be achievable by increasing their price. Most of the factors are substitutes with the exceptions of capital and energy, and land and chemicals, which were found to be complements.

description: Results of an experimental study of palladium nanojunctions in hydrogen environment are presented. Two new hydrogen-related atomic configurations are found, which have a conductances of ~0.5 and ~1 quantum unit (2e^2/h). Phonon spectrum measurements demonstrate that these configurations are situated between electrodes containing dissolved hydrogen. The crucial differences compared to the previously studied Pt-H_2 junctions, and the possible microscopic realizations of the new configurations in palladium-hydrogen atomic-sized contacts are discussed.

description: The paper presents and discusses the Research and Development and related reflective practice process for the design of an approach to STEM school education. It focuses on Future Inventors, an education project of the National Museum of Science and Technology Leonardo da Vinci which aims to design, develop, test, and define an approach for teaching and learning in STEM at junior high school. Through this case study, the authors argue for the need to design for learning activities in which children can learn creatively building on their own potential and, for educators, to develop and maintain a STEM teaching mind-set that recognizes a series of qualities, bodily engagement, emotions, self-expression and open-ended, creative exploration, as having a legitimate place in the science classroom This is an attempt to move beyond the de-contextualised use of technology in learning towards a learning flow that fosters engagement with digital experiences a way to develop children’s thinking, their voice and identity, making them feel able to share and contribute actively.

description: We present results from the FUNK experiment in the search for hidden-photon dark matter. Near the surface of a mirror, hidden photons may be converted into ordinary photons. These photons are emitted perpendicular to the surface and have an energy equal to the mass of the dark matter hidden photon. Our experimental setup consists of a large, spherical mirror with an area of more than 14 m$^2$, which concentrates the emitted photons into its central point. Using a detector sensitive to visible and near-UV photons, we can exclude a kinetic-mixing coupling of stronger than $χ\approx 10^{-12}$ in the mass range of 2.5 to 7 eV, assuming hidden photons comprise all of the dark matter. The experimental setup and analysis used to obtain this limit are discussed in detail.
