description: Abstract: Emerging evidence suggests that cancer cell metabolism can be regulated by cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), but the mechanisms are poorly defined. Here we show that CAFs regulate malignant cell metabolism through pathways under the control of FAK. In breast and pancreatic cancer patients we find that low FAK expression, specifically in the stromal compartment, predicts reduced overall survival. In mice, depletion of FAK in a subpopulation of CAFs regulates paracrine signals that increase malignant cell glycolysis and tumour growth. Proteomic and phosphoproteomic analysis in our mouse model identifies metabolic alterations which are reflected at the transcriptomic level in patients with low stromal FAK. Mechanistically we demonstrate that FAK-depletion in CAFs increases chemokine production, which via CCR1/CCR2 on cancer cells, activate protein kinase A, leading to enhanced malignant cell glycolysis. Our data uncover mechanisms whereby stromal fibroblasts regulate cancer cell metabolism independent of genetic mutations in cancer cells.

description: This paper provides a review on China’s meat trade for the 2000-2012 period and discusses its future development, with reference to China’s grain trade. With marginal decreases in meat exports and slight increases in their imports, China’s net imports of major meat products (including pork, beef, mutton and poultry but excluding meat offal) were just below one million tons in 2012, dwarfed by China’s net imports of grains which reached 66.7 million tons in the same year. This slow growth in meat trade seems to contradict earlier expectations on increasing meat demand and imports, based upon projected shifts in consumption patterns driven by rapid per capita income growth. Several plausible explanations of this paradoxical trade pattern are offered, including mass imports of feed grains, persistent (but shrinking) gaps between Chinese and international meat prices, tariff barriers, and non-tariff measures. In the near future China may not be able to maintain such a lower profile on the world meat markets, as per capita income is projected to continue to rise and domestic production cost advantages erode due to rising labor costs. A model-based projection exercise indicates that under plausible assumptions China’s meat imports may rise sharply by 2030.
Gate-controlled spin polarized current in ferromagnetic single electron transistors

description: We theoretically investigate spin dependent transport in ferromagnetic/normal metal/ferromagnetic single electron transistors by applying master equation calculations using a two dimensional space of states involving spin and charge degrees of freedom. When the magnetizations of ferromagnetic leads are in anti-parallel alignment, the spins accumulate in the island and a difference of chemical potentials of the two spins is built up. This shift in chemical potential acts as charge offset in the island and alternates the gate dependence of spin current. Taking advantage of this effect, one can control the polarization of current up to the polarization of lead by tuning gate voltages.

description: We consider the paradigm of an overdamped Brownian particle in a potential well, which is modulated through an external protocol, in the presence of stochastic resetting. Thus, in addition to the short range diffusive motion, the particle also experiences intermittent long jumps which reset the particle back at a preferred location. Due to the modulation of the trap, work is done on the system and we investigate the statistical properties of the work fluctuations. We find that the distribution function of the work typically, in asymptotic times, converges to a universal Gaussian form for any protocol as long as that is also renewed after each resetting event. When observed for a finite time, we show that the system does not generically obey the Jarzynski equality which connects the finite time work fluctuations to the difference in free energy, albeit a restricted set of protocols which we identify herein. In stark contrast, the Jarzynski equality is always fulfilled when the protocols continue to evolve without being reset. We present a set of exactly solvable models, demonstrate the validation of our theory and carry out numerical simulations to illustrate these findings. Finally, we have pointed out possible realistic implementations for resetting in experiments using the so-called engineered swift equilibration.

description: In this paper, we use a three-round farm-level panel from rural India to explore the existence and evolution of the inverse relationship between farm size and productivity that has been found in a large empirical literature. While present throughout, the inverse relationship weakened significantly over time; the estimated elasticity of productivity with respect to farm size increased from 0.73 to 0.95 from 1982 to 2007. Key drivers are better functioning labor markets and a narrowing of efficiency differences between own and hired labor, possibly due to greater use of machinery. Structural transformation and a transition towards larger farms thus did not hurt productivity and economic efficiency.
Probing Turbulence in the Intracluster Medium with High-resolution X-ray Spectroscopy

description: The hot gas in the intracluster medium (ICM) is perturbed by smooth mass accretion, mergers, feedback from active galactic nuclei (AGN), motions of galaxies, and other processes. These processes could drive turbulence, which plays an important role in energy transfer, ICM heating, and star formation. Direct turbulence measurements through Doppler line broadening and resonant scattering of X-ray photons require high-resolution X-ray spectra. I will discuss what we have learned so far from the high-resolution XMM-Newton/RGS observations of compact cores of galaxies and groups and the near-future XRISM observatory, focusing on turbulence-related science planned for the Performance Verification phase.

description: We consider the associativity or Witten-Dijkgraaf-Verlinde-Verlinde (WDVV) equations and discuss one of the most relevant for non-perturbative physics class of their solutions based on existence of the residue formulas. It is demonstrated for this case that the proof of associativity equations is reduced to the problem of solving system of algebraic linear equations. The particular examples of solutions related to Landau-Ginzburg topological theories, Seiberg-Witten theories and tau-functions of quasiclassical hierarchies are discussed in detail. We also discuss related questions including covariance of associativity equations, their relation to dispersionless Hirota relations and auxiliary linear problem for the WDVV equations.

description: Abstract: Background: Falls, associated injuries and fear-of-falling are common in adults with RA. Fear-of-falling can be a major consequence of, and as debilitating as falling, resulting in a cycle of activity restriction, reduced quality of life, institutionalisation and potentially increase risk of falls. The objective of this study was to examine the relationship between fear-of-falling and risk factors associated with fear-of-falling in adults with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) over a 1 year period. Methods: Five hundred fifty-nine patients with RA were recruited from four outpatient clinics in this prospective cohort study. Baseline assessments included socio-demographic, medical and lifestyle related risk factors. Fall incidence was prospectively obtained monthly using postal cards over a 1 year period. Fear-of-falling was assessed at baseline and 1 year using the Short Falls Efficacy Scale-International (Short FES-I). Logistic regression was used to determine the association between high fear-of-falling (Short FES-I > 11) at baseline (outcome) and a range of putative predictor variables including previous falls, and also baseline factors associated with a high fear-of-falling at follow-up. Results: Five hundred thirty-five (ninety-six percent) participants (mean age 62.1 yrs.; 18–88 yrs) completed 1 year follow-up and of these, 254 (47%) completed the Short FES-I questionnaire at 1 year. In a multivariate model, a history of multiple falls (OR = 6.08) higher HAQ score (OR = 4.87) and increased time to complete the Chair Stand Test (OR = 1.11) were found to be independent predictors of high fear-of-falling and had an overall classification rate of 87.7%. There were no significant differences found in fear-of-falling at 1 year follow-up in those who reported falls during the study, participant’s baseline fear appeared to predict future fear, regardless of further falls. Conclusions: Fear-of-falling is significantly associated with previous falls and predictive of future falls and fear. RA patients would benefit from fall prevention measures whether or not they have previously fallen.

description: Farms throughout Asia are predominantly small. By nature, small farms use labour-intensive production methods. The question arises as to the viability of small farms in the face of the rapidly increasing wage rate in most Asian countries. There is also indication that the production efficiency of small farms has declined relative to large farms in many other Asian economies, indicating the increasing disadvantage of small farms in Asia. Therefore, this study argues that unless new policy measures are taken to expand farm size, Asia as a whole is likely to lose comparative advantage in agriculture and become an importer of food grains in the future

benzyl alcohol self-etherification reaction

description: Abstract: Hierarchical single-crystal ZSM-5 zeolites with different Si/Al ratios (Hier-ZSM-5-x, where x = 50, 100, 150 and 200) were synthesized using an ordered mesoporous carbon-silica composite as hard template. Hier-ZSM-5-x exhibits improved mass transport properties, excellent mechanical and hydrothermal stability, and higher catalytic activity than commercial bulk zeolites in the benzyl alcohol self-etherification reaction. Results show that a decrease in the Si/Al ratio in hierarchical single-crystal ZSM-5 zeolites leads to a significant increase in the acidity and the density of micropores, which increases the final catalytic conversion. The effect of porous hierarchy on the diffusion of active sites and the final catalytic activity was also studied by comparing the catalytic conversion after selectively designed poisoned acid sites. These poisoned Hier-ZSM-5-x shows much higher catalytic conversion than the poisoned commercial ZSM-5 zeolite, which indicates that the numerous intracrystalline mesopores significantly reduce the diffusion path of the reactant, leading to the faster diffusion inside the zeolite to contact with the acid sites in the micropores predominating in ZSM-5 zeolites. This study can be extended to develop a series of hierarchical single-crystal zeolites with expected catalytic performance.

description: In Workpackage 13 of the CAN.HEAL project a basic e-learning course on Oncogenomics for physicians and other health professionals was developed and disseminated in Europe to foster implementation of Personalised Cancer Medicine. The Learning Objectives (LOs) of the course aimed at improving knowledge and know-how of non-geneticist health professionals  on basic principles of genetics and main applications of genomics in cancer prevention, diagnosis and care. The LOs were identified in the iPAAC Joint Action, in which a pilot English version of the e-learning was tested in Italy.

Building on the results of this preliminary pilot, in CAN.HEAL (Task 13.1) the training materials were reviewed and translated into four latin languages (IT, SP, FR, PT). The teaching modality was inspired by the Problem Based Learning method. Self-assessment tests, certification test and a satisfaction questionnaire were integrated in the course to evaluate its efficacy in different perspectives.

The e-learning course received Continuing Medical Education (CME) credits by European (EACCME) and national accreditation bodies. English, Italian and Spanish versions of  the course were deployed on existing national e-learning platforms in Italy (www.eduiss.it) and Spain (https://e-oncologia.org). Professionals from Belgium, Latvia, Malta, Portugal and Slovenia accessed the English version of the e-learning. Data collected during deployment in different countries will allow to assess the impact of the course in terms of adhesion, knowledge increase and users' satisfaction.
Orientation Determination of Low Symmetry Materials Using Computational Polarized Light Optical Microscopy

description: The structure of materials can have a big impact on the properties and performance of the material. A variety of methods are used by materials scientists and engineers to study the crystallographic orientation of grains in bulk metal. Computational polarized light microscopy (CPLM) is proposed as a method for partial orientation determination for metals with anisotropic structure, such as a-titanium. CPLM is a low cost, easy-to-use orientation mapping method, which can be used as an alternative to methods such as EBSD. When a-titanium grains are illuminated with polarized light, the reflected intensity of light of each grain differs depending on the orientation of the grain. An intensity profile can be obtained for a grain illuminated with linearly polarized light at different rotations. From this intensity profile, the partial orientation of the grain, which describes inclination and azimuth of the grain’s c-axis, can be determined. The c-axis orientation of grains determined using the CPLM method is compared to the known orientation obtained from EBSD. Comparison between the two show reasonable agreement between the methodologies. Results also suggest polarization aberration exists across the field of view of the microscope setup. An experiment was conducted to isolate changes in reflected intensity caused by grain orientation from that which was caused by polarization aberration in the optical chain. In addition to the experimental work, an idealized physics-based forward model was developed for the CPLM method. This model is used to simulate the theoretical intensity profile for a given grain orientation. While area for improving both the experimental setup and forward model exist, thereare interesting potential for future applications with preliminary results shown, including performing texture analysis for samples with localized texture as well as applications to different materials systems.
Many-body calculations of two-photon, two color matrix elements for attosecond delays

description: We present calculations for attosecond atomic delays in photoionization of noble gas atoms based on full two-color two-photon Random-Phase Approximation with Exchange in both length and velocity gauge. Gauge invariant atomic delays are demonstrated for the complete set of diagrams. The results are used to investigate the validity of the common assumption that the measured atomic delays can be interpreted as a one-photon Wigner delay and a universal continuum--continuum contribution that depends only on the kinetic energy of the photoelectron, the laser frequency and the charge of the remaining ion, but not on the specific atom or the orbital from which the electron is ionized. Here we find that although effects beyond the universal IR--photoelectron continuum--continuum transitions are rare, they do occur in special cases such as around the $3s$ Cooper minimum in argon. We conclude also that in general the convergence in terms of many-body diagrams is considerably faster in length gauge than in velocity gauge.

Lawang pada awalnya sebuah desa yang sebagian besar lahannya digunakan untuk perkebunan, baik tanaman subsisten maupun komersial. Atas dasar kebutuhan distribusi hasil perkebunan yang lebih efisien, maka dibangun jalur kereta api antara Surabaya hingga Malang yang juga melewati Lawang. Opsi moda transportasi demikian yang akhirnya membuka wilayah pedalaman ke potensi lain. Seperti Lawang yang akhirnya dikenal sebagai wilayah untuk bervakansi orang-orang Eropa dari kota pesisir, seperti Surabaya. Lawang yang awalnya hanya sebagai hunian semi permanen, lambat laun mulai dilirik untuk menjadi hunian permanen orang-orang Eropa. Penelitian ini bermaksud untuk melihat adanya perkembangan wilayah Lawang dari sebuah desa menjadi kota kecil. Penelitian ini memakai metode penelitian sejarah yang diawali dengan pemilihan topik, heuristik, verifikasi, interpretasi, dan historiografi. Sumber sejarah dalam penelitian ini didapat secara daring dan luring yang meliputi Staatsblad, Volkstelling, surat kabar sezaman, buku sezaman, serta data kartografi dalam beberapa masa, antara lain tahun 1882, 1893, 1914, 1936, dan 1940. Hasil dari penelitian ini didapatkan bahwa Lawang mengalami perkembangan menjadi sebuah kota kecil. Hal ini ditinjau secara jumlah penduduknya maupun infrastruktur dalam ruang kota yang berkembang dalam satu kawasan di pusat kota. Walau demikian status administrasi Lawang tidak mengalami perubahan, yakni tetap menjadi onderdistrict hingga akhir masa kolonial.

description: Objectives: To investigate whether residential area deprivation index predicts subsequent admissions to hospital and time spent in hospital independently of individual social class and lifestyle factors. Design: Prospective population-based study. Setting: The European Prospective Investigation into Cancer in Norfolk (EPIC-Norfolk) study. Participants: 11 214 men and 13 763 women in the general population, aged 40–79 years at recruitment (1993–1997), alive in 1999. Main outcome measure: Total admissions to hospital and time spent in hospital during a 19-year time period (1999–2018). Results: Compared to those with residential Townsend Area Deprivation Index lower than the average for England and Wales, those with a higher than average deprivation index had a higher likelihood of spending >20 days in hospital multivariable adjusted OR 1.18 (95% CI 1.07 to 1.29) and having 7 or more admissions OR 1.11 (95% CI 1.02 to 1.22) after adjustment for age, sex, smoking status, education, social class and body mass index. Occupational social class and educational attainment modified the association between area deprivation and hospitalisation; those with manual social class and lower education level were at greater risk of hospitalisation when living in an area with higher deprivation index (p-interaction=0.025 and 0.020, respectively), while the risk for non-manual and more highly educated participants did not vary greatly by area of residence. Conclusion: Residential area deprivation predicts future hospitalisations, time spent in hospital and number of admissions, independently of individual social class and education level and other behavioural factors. There are significant interactions such that residential area deprivation has greater impact in those with low education level or manual social class. Conversely, higher education level and social class mitigated the association of area deprivation with hospital usage.

description: This paper aims to examine the dynamics of land transactions, machine investments and the demand for machine services using farm panel data from China. Recently, China’s agriculture has experienced a large expansion of machine rentals and machine services provided by specialized agents, which has contributed to mechanization of agricultural production. The empirical results show that an increase in non-agricultural wage rates leads to expansion of self-cultivated land size. A rise in the proportion of non-agricultural income or the migration rate also increases the size of self-cultivated land. Interestingly, relatively educated farm households, however, decrease the size of self-cultivated land, which suggests that relatively less educated farmers tend to specialize in farming. The demand for machine services has also increased if agricultural wage and migration rate increased over time, especially among relatively large farms. The results on crop income also support complementarities between rented-in land and machine services (demanded), which implies that scale economies are arising in Chinese agriculture with mechanization and active land rental markets.

description: We report here on a direct and non-invasive measurement of the charge and its distribution in a Kondo correlated quantum dot (QD). A non-invasive potential-sensitive detector in proximity with the QD reveals that even though the conductance of the QD is significantly enhanced as it enters the Kondo regime the net charge in the QD remains unaffected. This demonstrates the separation between spin and charge degrees of freedom in the Kondo effect. We find however, under certain experimental conditions, that an abrupt redistribution of the charge in the QD is taking place simultaneously with the onset of Kondo correlation. This suggests that the spin-charge separation in the Kondo effect does not always hold.

description: The ideals of tolerance and cultural exchange associated with the interfaith past of Muslim Spain (al-Andalus) have become a symbol for Andalusian regionalism and for the integration of Moroccan communities. Nowhere is this more keenly felt than in the context of music. In cities such as Granada, Moroccan and Spanish musicians actively promote the ideals of intercultural dialogue through the performance of repertoires such as flamenco and Arab-Andalusian music that allegedly possess a shared cultural history. In this article, we examine the interrelationship between music and ‘intercultural regionalism’, focusing on how music is used by public institutions to ground social integration in the discourse of regionalism. Against a backdrop of rising Islamophobia and the mobilization of right-wing populist and anti-immigration rhetoric both within Spain and internationally, the authors consider how music can be used to promote social integration, to overcome Islamophobia and to tackle radicalization. We advance two arguments. First, we argue that the musical interculturalism promoted by a variety of institutions needs to be understood within the wider project of Andalusian regionalism. Here, we note that musical integration of Spain’s cultural and historical ‘Other’ (Moroccans) into Andalusian society is promoted as a model for how Europe can overcome the alleged ‘death of multiculturalism’. The preferential way to achieve this objective is through ‘intercultural regionalism’, envisioned as the combination of regional identity-building and intercultural interactions between communities that share a common cultural heritage. Second, we assess some of the criticism of the efficacy of al-Andalus as a model for contemporary intercultural exchange. Combining approaches in political science and ethnomusicology, we focus on one case study, the Fundación Tres Culturas (FTC). Through interviews with figures within the FTC, we examine why this model has become partly insufficient and how it is borne out in the sorts of musical activities programmed by FTC that seek to move beyond the ‘andalusí’ myth. We conclude by recognizing the continuing regional and international importance of this myth but we question its integrating capacity at a time of radical political, economic and environmental upheaval.

description: We obtain Gaussian upper bounds for heat kernels of higher order differential operators with Dirichlet boundary conditions on bounded domains in $\R^N$. The bounds exhibit explicitly the nature of the spatial decay of the heat kernel close to the boundary as well as the long-time exponential decay implied by the spectral gap. We make no smoothness assumptions on our operator coefficients which we assume only to be bounded and measurable Keywords : Heat Kernel, Parabolic, Uniformly Elliptic, Gaussian.

description: In this paper, we present an approach for identification of actions within depth action videos. First, we process the video to get motion history images (MHIs) and static history images (SHIs) corresponding to an action video based on the use of 3D Motion Trail Model (3DMTM). We then characterize the action video by extracting the Gradient Local Auto-Correlations (GLAC) features from the SHIs and the MHIs. The two sets of features i.e., GLAC features from MHIs and GLAC features from SHIs are concatenated to obtain a representation vector for action. Finally, we perform the classification on all the action samples by using the l2-regularized Collaborative Representation Classifier (l2-CRC) to recognize different human actions in an effective way. We perform evaluation of the proposed method on three action datasets, MSR-Action3D, DHA and UTD-MHAD. Through experimental results, we observe that the proposed method performs superior to other approaches.

description: This paper examines dynamic patterns of land use, capital investments and wages in agriculture using farm panel data from Indonesia. The empirical analysis shows that with an increase in real wages that prevailed in both agricultural and non-agricultural sectors in rural areas, relatively larger farmers increased the size of operational farm land by renting in land. An increase in real wages has induced the substitution of labor by machines among relatively large farmers. Machines and land are complementary and, consistently, the inverse land-productivity relationship is reversed among relatively large holders.

description: Prostate Cancer (PCa) is the most common oncological disease in Western men. Even though a growing effort has been carried out by the scientific community in recent years, accurate and reliable automated PCa detection methods on multiparametric Magnetic Resonance Imaging (mpMRI) are still a compelling issue. In this work, a Deep Neural Network architecture is developed for the task of classifying clinically significant PCa on non-contrast-enhanced MR images. In particular, we propose the use of Conditional Random Fields as a Recurrent Neural Network (CRF-RNN) to enhance the classification performance of XmasNet, a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) architecture specifically tailored to the PROSTATEx17 Challenge. The devised approach builds a hybrid end-to-end trainable network, CRF-XmasNet, composed of an initial CNN component performing feature extraction and a CRF-based probabilistic graphical model component for structured prediction, without the need for two separate training procedures. Experimental results show the suitability of this method in terms of classification accuracy and training time, even though the high-variability of the observed results must be reduced before transferring the resulting architecture to a clinical environment. Interestingly, the use of CRFs as a separate postprocessing method achieves significantly lower performance with respect to the proposed hybrid end-to-end approach. The proposed hybrid end-to-end CRF-RNN approach yields excellent peak performance for all the CNN architectures taken into account, but it shows a high-variability, thus requiring future investigation on the integration of CRFs into a CNN.

description: People in rural communities negotiate the effects of a changing climate, of markets and other events that affect their livelihoods. These contexts are often uncertain and risky, and the decision makers are vulnerable. This presentation shares experiences with rural communities in the Andes, and in Kenya, using a similar framework, to create information that is relevant to local decision makers, through a process that builds trust, by connecting local and scientific knowledge. One experience focuses on translational research for information on innovations, while the second focuses on community processes to understand sources of vulnerability and potential practices that contribute to adaptation and resilience. Participatory research approaches aim to build human, social and political capitals while producing salient information for local decision makers. These cases used techniques that acknowledge potential gender, ethnicity, life cycle, and vulnerability status. The cases are set up to compare outcomes across landscapes shaped by agroecological conditions, markets, and policies.
Quantum entanglement of charges in bound states with finite-size dyons

description: We show that the presence of finite-size monopoles can lead to a number of interesting physical processes involving quantum entanglement of charges. Taking as a model the classical solution of the N=2 SU(2) Yang-Mills theory, we study interaction between dyons and scalar particles in the adjoint and fundamental representation. We find that there are bound states of scalars and dyons, which, remarkably, are always an entangled configuration of the form |ψ> =|dyon+> |scalar-> +/- |dyon->|scalar+>. We determine the energy levels and the wave functions and also discuss their stability.

description: Cooking at home is likely to be associated with benefits to diet and health. However, the nuanced perceptions and practices linked to different types of cooking are not yet fully understood. This research aimed to explore the specific concept of ‘home cooking’, using qualitative research from the UK and US. Data from two previously completed studies exploring cooking at home were combined and a new secondary analysis was undertaken using the Framework Method. Data in the first study were drawn from participants in the North East of the UK who were interviewed. Data in the second study were drawn from participants in Baltimore, US, who took part in focus groups. Data from a total of 71 adults (18 UK and 53 US), with diverse sociodemographic characteristics and experiences of cooking, were analysed. In both countries, participants distinguished ‘home cooking’ as a distinct subtype of cooking at home. ‘Home cooking’ was defined in terms of preparing a meal from scratch, cooking with love and care, and nostalgia. Cooking at home had a range of dimensions, and perceptions of ‘home cooking’ tended to focus on social and emotional associations. In future, public health initiatives might, therefore, highlight the potential social and emotional benefits of ‘home cooking’, rather than emphasising implications for physical health.
Effects of Anisotropy in Polycrystalline Ti-7Al Using Far-Field High Energy X-Ray Diffraction Microscopy

description: On the grain scale, materials are inhomogeneous and anisotropic, and these non-uniformities are often the initiation sites for failure. However, most traditional models assume a homogeneous and isotropic material to predict performance and failure, so focus has begun to turn to micromechanical materials models. These models rely on experiments which supply three-dimensional, in situ, multi-scale data to make accurate predictions. Titanium alloys are commonly used in many biomedical and aerospace applications. However, the alpha-phase in this material is both thermally and mechanically anisotropic due to itshexagonal closed packed structure. This anisotropy can lead to the development of significant internal stresses in polycrystals. Far-field high energy x-ray diffraction microscopy (ff-HEDM), a synchrotron-based in situ x-ray characterization technique, is employed to study the micromechanical evolution of Ti-7Al under thermal and cyclic loading. In turn, this data will be used for the validation of micromechanical models and eventually the prediction of materials failure.

description: Many countries have been burdened with a legacy of unplanned mine closure. Inadequate and ineffective regulatory approaches to mine closure have resulted in legacy of abandoned mine sites, which rehabilitation costs are substantial liabilities to governments and communities. Although governments have been reviewing mine closure regulations to enhance their effectiveness, achievement of successful closure outcomes still remains a challenge. The purpose of this study was to evaluate how well existing regulatory approaches for Kenya, Western Australia and Queensland incorporate various aspects of mine closure. This is the first study to do this type of evaluation for regulatory approaches to mine closure. This study reviewed published literature to identify characteristics of mine closure success, and subsequently developed an analytical framework based on this review. Regulatory documents such as Acts, Bills, regulations, policies, guidelines and government reports were then assessed for inclusion of these characteristics in each case study area. The study found that regulatory approaches in the three case study areas do not incorporate all the aspects identified as requirements for successful mine closure. The study found that Western Australia and Queensland regulations were more comprehensive than Kenya. In addition, requirements that address socio-economic impacts of mine closure need to be incorporated in regulatory approaches in all study areas. This study indicates there is need to improve the existing regulatory approaches to mine closure in each study area, particularly Kenya, so that the regulation is more likely to have the desired effect of improved mine closure outcomes and success.
