description: La stimulation multisensorielle (SMS; Snoezelen) utilisée avec des personnes atteintes d’un trouble neurocognitif majeur (TNC) est une intervention non pharmacologique qui vise la stimulation sensorielle ainsi que la relaxation corporelle pour favoriser le bien-être du patient. Cette recherche comporte deux études. La première étude, de nature qualitative, examine comment les salles de stimulation multisensorielle sont utilisées avec des patients atteints d’un TNC dû à la maladie d’Alzheimer (TNC-MA) dans quelques résidences pour personnes âgées de la région d’Ottawa. Les entrevues ont été menées avec huit intervenantes provenant de neuf résidences. Quatre idées fortes ont émergé des entrevues: 1) Snoezelen est utile pour réduire plusieurs symptômes comportementaux et psychologiques (SCPD) dans le TNC-MA, 2) son utilisation présente des défis logistiques, 3) il y a une grande variabilité dans son utilisation, et 4) il s’agit d’une approche humaniste, centrée sur la personne. La deuxième étude s’adresse à l’utilité clinique de l’intervention. Un protocole à cas unique a été utilisé, avec ligne de base multiple, phase d’intervention et posttest (A1-B-A2), afin d’examiner l’effet de la SMS sur les SCPD les plus prévalents (agitation, apathie, et humeur dépressive), sur le niveau de retentissement des SCPD sur le personnel soignant, et aussi sur la fréquence d’administration de médicaments psychotropes chez des participants institutionnalisés atteints d’un TNC-MA de modéré à sévère. Sept résidents d’un centre de soins de longue durée ont participé. Les effets sur l’apathie, l’agitation, l’humeur dépressive et le retentissement ont été évalués à l’aide de l’Inventaire neuropsychiatrique, version équipe soignante (NPI-ES). La prescription des médicaments a été documentée par la chercheuse principale. Les résultats démontrent que la SMS réduit l’agitation chez les patients et atténue le retentissement sur le personnel soignant. La SMS pourrait aussi réduire l’apathie chez certains participants. Il n’y a pas d’effet notable sur les médicaments prescrits. Toutefois, les résultats modestes ne permettent pas de recommander cette forme d’intervention auprès des personnes institutionnalisées atteintes d’un TNC-MA, en l’état actuel des connaissances, considérant les investissements en ressources qu’elle implique. En bref, cette recherche contribue au développement des connaissances sur l'utilité clinique d’une forme d’intervention multisensorielle, non pharmacologique, dans les soins d’un TNC-MA.

description: Modern western diets are increasingly recognized to be unsustainable. As a result, an ever-growing number of people are looking to alternative proteins as a way to reduce their environmental footprints. Some studies have suggested that insects represent a promising alternative to more conventional animal protein sources, like pigs, cows, and chickens. But how ready is the average consumer to eat insects? Do environmental values make people more willing to try insect-based foods? Would providing people with information on the environmental advantages of insects in any way change their attitudes towards these foods? This article summarizes the answers to these questions.

description: Increasing numbers of children are being immunized using alternative childhood vaccination schedules, due to a number of parental concerns about safety and children's health. While accurate information is critical to informing parents, issues of trust and empathy also play a major part in parents' decision-making. Nurses can play an important role in helping parents make informed decisions and are uniquely suited to provide the necessary knowledge and empathy.

Adjudication of Tax Disputes within the Tax Authority in Ethiopia
Creators: name: Byness, Aschalew Ashagre
Publisher: name: Bahir Dar University Journal of Law
Year: 2022

description: The experiences of various countries clearly demonstrate that the tax authority is vested with adjudication of tax disputes arising between taxpayers and itself when a taxpayer does not accept the decision of the authority. In Ethiopia, the 2016 Federal Tax Administration Proclamation (hereinafter FTAP) has unequivocally provided that if a taxpayer is aggrieved by a tax decision of the tax authority and if he wants to challenge that decision, he is compelled to take his grievance to the Review Department of the Tax Authority- an authority accountable to the Ministry of Revenues, which itself is the successor of the former Ethiopian Revenues and Customs Authority (ERCA). Before the coming into force of the FTAP, taking a tax case to the Review Committee of ERCA was not mandatory while the FTAP has clearly provided that taking a tax case to the Review Department is mandatory. This shows that the role of the Review Department has become more influential on the taxpayer as compared to its predecessor- the Review Committee. Therefore, it is imperative now to investigate the review power of the Department and the overall process of tax dispute resolution within the tax authority. This piece is, therefore, aimed at critically examining the process of tax dispute resolution at the Review Department of the Tax Authority at federal level. This study has found out that there are certain meaningful improvements made by the FTAP that enhance access to justice to the taxpayer and the fairness of the process. Nevertheless, the study has revealed several shortcomings in the FTAP including lack of clearly defined scope of review power of the Review Department; absence of clear provisions dealing with appointment, composition and removal of members of the Review Department; absence of unequivocally articulated right to be heard before the Review Department; that FTAP does not seem to have given sufficient time to taxpayers to lodge an application and that it has not provided exceptional circumstances where the tax authority should bear burden of proof. Therefore, the author recommends that the problems identified needs to be addressed by amending the FTAP.

description: Within the context of the collaboration "B fields in OB stars (BOB)", we used the FORS2 low-resolution spectropolarimeter to search for a magnetic field in 50 massive stars, including two reference magnetic massive stars. Because of the many controversies of magnetic field detections obtained with the FORS instruments, we derived the magnetic field values with two completely independent reduction and analysis pipelines. We compare and discuss the results obtained from the two pipelines. We obtained a general good agreement, indicating that most of the discrepancies on magnetic field detections reported in the literature are caused by the interpretation of the significance of the results (i.e., 3-4 sigma detections considered as genuine, or not), instead of by significant differences in the derived magnetic field values. By combining our results with past FORS1 measurements of HD46328, we improve the estimate of the stellar rotation period, obtaining P = 2.17950+/-0.00009 days. For HD125823, our FORS2 measurements do not fit the available magnetic field model, based on magnetic field values obtained 30 years ago. We repeatedly detect a magnetic field for the O9.7V star HD54879, the HD164492C massive binary, and the He-rich star CPD -57 3509. We obtain a magnetic field detection rate of 6+/-4%, while by considering only the apparently slow rotators we derive a detection rate of 8+/-5%, both comparable with what was previously reported by other similar surveys. We are left with the intriguing result that, although the large majority of magnetic massive stars is rotating slowly, our detection rate is not a strong function of the stellar rotational velocity.

Year: 2022

description: Print-disabled persons face barriers to access the accessible format of copyrighted materials in their day-to-day life due to copyright law restraints. Since copyright laws provide to the owners of a work an exclusive economic right including the right to reproduction, distribution, adaptation, and making available to the public, print-disabled persons face difficulties in getting the accessible format of works. This results in the violation of various human rights including the right to access to information, the right to read, the right to education, the right to participate in cultural life, the right to enjoy the benefits of scientific progress, and the right to employment. With the view of establishing normative standards, the Marrakesh Treaty to Facilitate Access to Published Works for Persons Who Are Blind, Visually Impaired, or Otherwise Print- Disabled was adopted in June 2013. The primary goal of this Treaty is to facilitate the accessibility of copyrighted works for print-disabled persons in an accessible format by eliminating copyright law barriers. The Treaty realizes the significance of the international copyright system and intends to ensure that the limitations and exceptions in national copyright laws allow print-disabled persons access to published works. Ethiopia has ratified this Treaty on March 13, 2020, to improve access to copyrighted works for print-disabled persons in the country. This article, thus, intends to make a critical appraisal of the preparedness of the national copyright law regime for the effective implementation of the Treaty. The study employs doctrinal legal research and focuses on identification and analysis of the national copyright law regime in light of the Marrakesh Treaty. Finally, the study concludes that the existing national copyright law of Ethiopia is inadequate in realizing the obligations stated under the Marrakesh Treaty. This article, therefore, recommends the amendment of the national copyright law to make it comprehensive and enhance the effective implementation of the Marrakesh Treaty in Ethiopia.

Year: 2017

description: BackgroundGrowing literature on the social-emotional development of young children suggests that social-emotional health in young children is a strong predictor of success in adulthood. The North Carolina Infant Mental Health Association (NCIMHA) is committed to developing a workforce that is trained in positive social-emotional development of children ages 0-5. MethodsInspired by stakeholder input, and an infant mental health summit, the author, the summit convening team, and NCIMHA’s Workforce Development Project Steering Committee conducted a survey of early childhood workforce professionals to assess professional development needs in June of 2017. Results 252 respondents completed the survey. Face-to-face continuing education or in-service training was ranked as the most effective form of training (55% of respondents), followed by bachelor’s degree programs (22%). Online continuing education or in-service training was most frequently ranked the second (33%) most effective form of training. Respondents discussed a need for more variety in the geographic location of training (17%), more online training options (16%), and more face-to-face training options (13%). 14% of respondents said that reducing the cost of trainings would make them more accessible. Implications for PracticeThe results suggest that a series of in-person and online trainings on the early childhood social-emotional competencies should be developed and implemented across NC, and made as low-cost as possible. Degree programs in psychology, social work, education, medicine, and allied health fields should revise their existing curriculums to include pre-service training on early childhood social-emotional development.

description: In 1924 David Hilbert conceived a paradoxical tale involving a hotel with an infinite number of rooms to illustrate some aspects of the mathematical notion of "infinity". In continuous-variable quantum mechanics we routinely make use of infinite state spaces: here we show that such a theoretical apparatus can accommodate an analog of Hilbert's hotel paradox. We devise a protocol that, mimicking what happens to the guests of the hotel, maps the amplitudes of an infinite eigenbasis to twice their original quantum number in a coherent and deterministic manner, producing infinitely many unoccupied levels in the process. We demonstrate the feasibility of the protocol by experimentally realising it on the orbital angular momentum of a paraxial field. This new non-Gaussian operation may be exploited for example for enhancing the sensitivity of N00N states, for increasing the capacity of a channel or for multiplexing multiple channels into a single one.

Intoxication, Provocation and Necessity as Defenses of Criminal Irresponsibility in the Judgments of Emperor Iyasu, and Emperor Dawit III of Ethiopia: A Historical Reflection
Creators: name: Chane, Gizachew Silesh

description: Judgments rendered before the introduction of modern justice system in Ethiopia were largely subject to the final approval and analysis of the emperors. This trend continued to some extent until 1974; in this regard the Crown Court of Haile Selassie I was the first to be mentioned. Cases brought before the emperors’ courts were often criminal cases, and the judgments of the emperors reflected principles and concepts of criminal law that have been recognized in the criminal law of many countries today. This reflection presents three criminal cases brought before the courts of Emperor Iyasu, and Emperor Dawit III of Ethiopia and argues that the judgments of these two emperors are compatible with the principles of defenses of intoxication, provocation, necessity, and criminal responsibility.

The Slow Learner: Feeling our way to Thinking about Lifelong Learning
Creators: name: Barter, Derek
Publisher: name: PRISM: Casting New Light on Learning, Theory and Practice
Year: 2023

description: This article is a critique of the current formal education system as a construct for consumerism, where the value of learning is geared towards increasingly limited instrumentalist ends. It considers alternative ways of educating the population to prepare for a century of disruption and upheaval as we transition from an unsustainable fossil fuel-based economy, where competition and acquisition are lauded to a less frenetic, but ultimately more egalitarian reflective future. It argues against the short-term myopia of credentialism, determined by election cycle politics and competitive advantage, and instead posits a humanistic vision for community education and teaching innovation that takes the longue durée regard of the history of human relations into account. Accepting Gellner’s exo-socialisation model for mass education in the industrial age, it asks what will replace this in a post-industrial world. Beginning with the principles of widening participation and social inclusion as the starting points for a socially just education, it argues that relationships are central for emancipatory education to take effect. It uses two programmes offered by Maynooth University’s Department of Adult and Community Education, the Communiversity and the Critical Skills modules: A Social Analysis of Everyday Life, as examples of programmes that have inclusion, equality and diversity, and social justice as core principles in their modus operandi. Here participation, dialogue, reflection, and a willingness to engage offer hope for an intergenerational lifelong learning approach to education in the twenty-first century that is ‘thought led’ rather than ‘market driven’.

Demographics and Outcomes of Service Recipients of a Perinatal Health Worker Program in the District of Columbia

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2018

description: Objective: To present demographics and birth outcomes for service recipients of an innovative perinatal health program and consider the evidence base and implications for participation in this program.Methods: Program administrative data for service recipients with estimated due dates from October 2015 to November 2018 were analyzed to present descriptive and bivariate statistics for a variety of demographic and birth outcome indicators. A subgroup was stratified by education status, housing adequacy, employment status, history of mental health diagnosis, and history of preterm delivery to analyze differences in four birth outcomes (birth weight, gestational age at delivery, breastfeeding initiation, and method of delivery) between higher- and lower-risk service recipients.Results: Results indicated that the organization is serving a very high-risk segment of the population, and that birth outcomes are trending toward positive when compared to DC resident births from 2015 to 2016. In the subgroup analysis, there were no differences in birth outcomes among high-risk versus low-risk women. Women with inadequate housing had infants with significantly lower birth weights than women with adequate housing. Also, women with a history of preterm birth had infants with significantly lower birth weights than women without a history of preterm birth.Conclusion: It is not possible to know whether the positive birth outcomes for service recipients are attributable to program participation without a controlled study. However, the general positive trend of outcomes supports the need for more rigorous program evaluation to determine the efficacy of this model and its potential to contribute to wider improvements in perinatal health outcomes.
Interpretation and visitors in two Islamic art exhibitions
Creators: name: Forstrom, Melissa
Publisher: name: University of Westminster
Year: 2017

description: In the past fifteen years there has been an increase is Islamic art exhibitions in the United States and Europe. Islamic art exhibition includes both reinstallations of permanent collections and temporary exhibitions. Often Islamic art exhibitions are equated with broader social and political contexts and infused with beliefs like Islamic art can “bridge divides” (Flood, 2007; Winegar, 2008) and “speak” for the humanity of Islam and Muslim peoples. This conflation or slippage is unique to the coverage of Islamic art exhibition and may, at least in part, be rooted in societal and religious ideologies like Orientalism and Islamophobia. Contemporaneously, there has been a steadily growing body of research on interpretative theory in new museology. However, no significant attempt has been made to amalgamate and apply the recent academic research in interpretative theory, including design interpretation, museum graphics and written interpretation to the analysis of Islamic art exhibitions. This thesis examines the interpretation, the process(es) of interpretation production and visitors responses in two Islamic art exhibitions in the United States: the New Galleries for the Art of the Arab Lands, Turkey, Iran, Central Asia and Later South Asia (New Galleries) at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City and Pearls on a String: Artists, Poets, and Patrons at the Great Islamic Courts (Pearls) at the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore, Maryland. This thesis utilizes a triangulated methodological approach where the theoretical research in interpretative theory is applied to a case study of New Galleries interpretation. A critical reflection method is adopted to examine the author’s professional involvement in the Pearls exhibition. Summative visitor evaluations of both exhibitions were undertaken in order to better understand the meanings visitors’ make. Ultimately this thesis argues that a unified, process-based approach (Whitehead,2012) to interpretation with both design and written interpretation is important because of the association or slippage between Islamic art exhibitions and the broader social and political contexts.
Abortion Stigma: A State of the Field Technical Report in Conjunction with the International Network for the Reduction of Abortion Discrimination and Stigma
Creators: name: Drozdiak, Alice
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2015

description: Background: Abortion stigma has been noted in academic literature since 1989, and only examined in earnest in the last 15 years. The abortion stigma can lead to poor quality of care and increased barriers for people seeking abortions. Inroads, a global network focused on reducing abortion stigma and discrimination, is publishing a state of the network report in December 2015 describing the state of research, activism, and advocacy around abortion stigma. This research is the foundation of that report. Methods: Using literature searches conducted over the course of nine months, we analyzed the content of both peer-reviewed and popular literature for examples addressing abortion stigma. All literature was coded by socioecological level, geographic region, type of source (peer-reviewed, white/gray literature, popular media, etc.) and, when applicable, study design (quasi-experimental, RCT, etc.). Additionally, all literature addressing or proposing interventions was highlighted. Results: One major result of the analysis was discovering the wide variety of ways in which stigma is manifested; manifestations varied based on geographic region, socioecological level, and other intersecting stigmas. The study also yielded a set of recommended practices for developing abortion stigma scales for measurement, though this area is still nascent. Conclusions: For those interested in developing measurements or interventions for abortion stigma, it is crucial to consider socioecological context, geographic location, and other stigmas. Those factors must all be considered when performing exploratory qualitative research, which can then be used to develop items for a scale, or programmatic elements for an intervention.

Sex-based harassment & Title IX compliance in K-12 schools: Using research to inform best practices
Creators: name: Broadway, Naomi
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2016

description: Title IX of the Educational Amendments of 1972, often simply referred to as Title IX, prohibited discrimination in education on the basis of sex in the United States for the first time. Title IX prohibits sex discrimination in areas such as sports options, class options and sexual harassment. Sexual violence is considered a type of sex-based harassment and schools are mandated by Title IX to appropriately prevent and respond to sexual violence. Title IX applies to any educational setting that receives federal funding, regardless of the age of the students. In the 40+ years since Title IX was originally passed, the Department of Education's Office of Civil Rights (OCR) has issued guidance for educational settings, primarily in the form of "Dear Colleague" letters. Recently, colleges and universities have received higher levels of scrutiny in their compliance with Title IX and very little attention has been paid to K-12 schools. This paper will discuss what K-12 schools are doing in light of policy mandates and guidance set forth by the OCR, as well as relevant case law. School policies, grievance procedures, remedies and prevention efforts will be examined through the lens of these requirements to help determine best practices. There is very little literature evaluating programs and procedures specifically related to Title IX in K-12 schools, but using available information and research, this paper will offer recommendations for K-12 schools to improve compliance as closely to OCR recommendations as possible, given resources available.
Establishment of Strict Liability for Motor Vehicle under Ethiopian Law: Issues of Concern

description: Due to frequent happening of accidents and their severe impact on the victims, court disputes pertaining to liabilities for motor vehicles are not only considerable in amount but also ever increasing in number. Unfortunately, some provisions governing strict liability for motor vehicles are either silent or vague or too general. These factors led to disparities in the application of laws governing strict liability for motor vehicles, particularly on issues related to the establishment of strict liability. This paper, thus, inter alia, raises the following questions: What is the scope of the law governing strict liability for motor vehicles? How the advent of a law on third party insurance against motor vehicle victim affects the scope of strict liability law? Who can be plaintiff and defendant under strict liability law? To address these issues, qualitative research approach which employs legal analysis, interview, and literature and case reviews is used. The finding concluded that laws governing establishment of strict liability for motor vehicles are neither adequate to regulate current dispute nor be able to anticipates possible future developments. Hence, for uniform and proper application of laws governing establishment of strict liability for motor vehicles, amendment of relevant provisions needs to be made, until then, the Federal Supreme Court Cassation bench shall provide guidance through interpreting vague and general provisions in light of theories of strict liability.

The Regulation of Illicit Cultural Heritage Trafficking under Ethiopian Law
Creators: name: Chane, Gizachew Silesh
name: Tibebu, Tilahun Yazie
Publisher: name: Bahir Dar University Journal of Law
Year: 2022

description: The illicit cultural heritage trafficking belongs to the most profitable criminal activities alongside illicit drug and firearms trafficking. It is impoverishing the history, archeological context, culture, and similar resources of states. Furthermore, it has now become a security concern, and thus, the intervention of criminal law is highly required. To circumvent the problem, the Research and Conservation of Cultural Heritage Proclamation of Ethiopia, Proclamation 209/2000, incorporates provisions that regulate crimes related to cultural heritage trafficking. Writers have indicated that the incorporation of criminal offenses within administrative legislations, including Proclamation 209/2000, may create a problem of over-criminalization. Specifically, the Proclamation has been criticized for prescribing a penalty in a way that could lead to over-criminalization. This article nonetheless explores another equally problematic dimension of the Proclamation related to inadequate criminalization. Accordingly, the article argued that the inadequacy of the law results from non-comprehensive criminalization and inconsistent penalties. Following doctrinal research methodology, the article critically examined relevant literatures, laws, policies, international conventions, and soft laws. Besides, the author employed the Four-stage Network Model to explain the nature of cultural heritage trafficking as a transnational and organized crime. Consequently, for the sake of triggering academic and policy debates, the article recommends that the UNODC non-binding guidelines and the UNTOC could be referred to as a guide to fill the gaps with due human rights safeguards.

description: There are growing concerns among developing countries on the arbitration proceeding of the International Center for Settlement of Investment Dispute (ICSID). The worries range from the transparency of arbitral proceedings; high arbitral costs; exclusion of national courts to the unsatisfactory nature of annulment proceedings. Investors' mounting claims against developing state, the link of ICSID to the World Bank, and their lack of resources to bear costs of defending against well-resourced investors make developing states to believe that they are at a comparative disadvantage compared with developed states and their investors. Although Ethiopia is not a party to the convention, many of its Bilateral Investment Treaties (BITs) accept ICSID jurisdiction. Thus, the main purpose of this paper is to examine the cost and benefit of ICSID in the context of developing countries. Besides, relevant BITs of Ethiopia that recognize jurisdiction of the Center are analyzed to explore the potential consequences in the event that it ratifies the ICSID. Relying on the doctrinal research methodology, the article examined the ICSID convention, scholarly research findings and the literature in the field. After due analysis, the author concluded that introducing the appellate system, ensuring transparency of the arbitration process and the publication of awards would address the concerns of developing countries. The article also argues that many of Ethiopia's BITs are inconsistent and vague with regards to submission to the jurisdiction of the Center, which implicates the need to have a model BIT.

description: Measuring the $ac$ magnetic response of a type II superconductor provides valuable information on the pinning landscape (pinscape) of the material. We use strong pinning theory to derive a microscopic expression for the Campbell length $λ_{\rm \scriptscriptstyle C}$, the penetration depth of the $ac$ signal. We show that $λ_{\rm \scriptscriptstyle C}$ is determined by the jump in the pinning force, in contrast to the critical current $j_c$ which involves the jump in pinning energy. We demonstrate that the Campbell lengths generically differ for zero-field-cooled and field-cooled samples and predict that hysteretic behavior can appear in the latter situation. We compare our findings with new experimental data and show the potential of this technique in providing information on the material's pinscape.

Converting Old Possessions into Lease System in Ethiopia

description: Dual urban land tenure arrangements have continued to exist in urban centers of the Ethiopia since the beginning of 1990‟s. However, despite the fact that the lease system began to be implemented for more than a decade ago, we are still witnessing the existence of urban land lease holdings and old possessions side by side. The attempt to have a unified tenure arrangement began with the current government following the enactment of the first urban land lease proclamation in 1993. However, this attempt has turned out to be unsuccessful so far, due to various reasons. Similarly, an unsuccessful effort was witnessed during the implementation period of the 2002 subsequent urban land lease proclamation. However, like its preceding urban land lease laws, even if the law aims to achieve otherwise, no feasible change has been observed in unifying the urban land tenure system after the coming into force of the existing Urban Lands Lease law in 2011. Using a doctrinal approach, this article aims to examine why the government is unable to start the process of implementing the law in unifying the urban land tenure system. More specifically, the major possible challenges the government may encounter in converting old possessions into lease holdings and the corresponding benefits that can be accrued to the lease holders, as well as the government, will also be addressed. Moreover, in order to substantiate the argument forwarded in this article, interviews were also conducted with relevant experts in the field from the two concerned authorities of Amhara region. Based on the primary data and analysis of various legal documents, the authors argue that if there is a need to have a unified tenure arrangement in urban areas of the country through converting old possession into lease holdings and if there is a need to rectify previous failures, especially after the enactment of an unambiguous and unequivocal regulation by the Council of Ministers, then a different approaches and strategies must be adopted.

Analyzing the Key Functions of Peer Support in Postpartum Weight Management Interventions: A Review of the Literature
Creators: name: Slough, Laurel

description: Overview: Currently in the United States, nearly two-thirds of women are entering pregnancy either overweight or obese. Additionally, many of these women gain more than the recommend amount of weight during pregnancy and often retain excess weight after delivery. Systematic reviews have been conducted in the past on the effectiveness of various behavioral interventions to manage weight postpartum. These reviews have had inconclusive results, so this review was conducted for the purpose of identifying the key functions of peer support in postpartum weight loss interventions. The rationale for exploring peer support is that this framework has been effective in achieving desirable health outcomes in diabetes prevention and management programs. Methods: A systematic review was conducted to analyze postpartum weight loss studies that used behavioral interventions including diet, physical activity, group education, or counseling. Only studies published after 2009 were included as this is the year the Institute of Medicine changed its gestational weight gain guidelines. CINAHL and PUBMED were searched with fifteen studies meeting inclusion criteria. Studies were evaluated for baseline characteristics and general outcomes and more specifically analyzed for the key functions of peer support. Results: The fifteen studies reviewed varied greatly in their use of peer support and in the four key functions of peer support: assistance in daily management of weight loss postpartum, social and emotional support for behavior change, connection to clinical care, and long-term support. No study explicitly relied on traditional peer supporters, or postpartum women from the same community, to facilitate weight loss postpartum. Discussion: Although peer support has shown efficacy in diabetes prevention and management, this framework has not been utilized for postpartum weight interventions. There a many opportunities for the maternal and child health workforce to leverage peer support in policy development, practice improvements, and research.

description: Two-dimensional (2D) materials have attracted a great deal of interest in recent years. This family of materials allows for the realization of versatile electronic devices and holds promise for next-generation (opto)electronics. Their electronic properties strongly depend on the number of layers, making them interesting from a fundamental standpoint. For electronic applications, semiconducting 2D materials benefit from sizable mobilities and large on/off ratios, due to the large modulation achievable via the gate field-effect. Moreover, being mechanically strong and flexible, these materials can withstand large strain (>10\%) before rupture, making them interesting for strain engineering and flexible devices. Even in their single layer form, semiconducting 2D materials have demonstrated efficient light absorption, enabling large responsivity in photodetectors. Therefore, semiconducting layered 2D materials are strong candidates for optoelectronic applications, especially for photodetection. Here, we review the state-of-the-art in photodetectors based on semiconducting 2D materials, focusing on the transition metal dichalcogenides, novel van der Waals materials, black phosphorus, and heterostructures.

description: We study one-dimensional systems of $N$ particles in a one-dimensional harmonic trap with an inverse power law interaction $\sim|x|^{-d}$. Within the framework of the harmonic approximation we derive, in the strong interaction limit, the Schmidt decomposition of the one-particle reduced density matrix and investigate the nature of the degeneracy appearing in its spectrum. Furthermore, the ground-state asymptotic occupancies and their natural orbitals are derived in closed analytic form, which enables their easy determination for a wide range of values of $N$. A closed form asymptotic expression for the von Neumann entanglement entropy is also provided and its dependence on $N$ is discussed for the systems with $d=1$ (charged particles) and with $d=3$ (dipolar particles).
