Subjects: Occupational therapy

description: The authors examined the longitudinal association between persisting posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms and multiple domains of life functioning in a community sample of 1,377 American Legionnaire Vietnam veterans first assessed in 1984 and followed-up 14 years later. Almost 30 years after their return from Vietnam, 10% of veterans continued to experience severe PTSD symptoms. At all levels of combat exposure, persisting severe PTSD symptoms were associated with worse family relationships, more smoking, less life satisfaction and happiness, more mental health service use, and more nonspecific health complaints at the 14-year follow-up. Further investigation is needed to determine whether the PTSD-functioning relationship is causal and if successful treatment of PTSD is associated with improvement in functioning.

description: In this study, the system thinking approach was used to explain the challenges of the beef value chain in Mashhad, Iran. Due to the complexity of the system and its dynamic nature, rich picture and CATWOE analysis were used to structure the problem. After structuring the problem, the relationships between the chain actors were drawn in the causal loop diagram. Then, the system archetypes were identified. Results showed that the dynamics of this value chain could be explained by limit to growth, fixes that fail and shifting the burden archetypes. The results indicated that the beef import policy has not been effective to regulate the domestic market. Also, it can be concluded that beef cattle production in Mashhad is largely dependent on sustainable supply of livestock feed. So, enhancing cattle production requires policy making to increase availability of livestock feed. Therefore, it is recommended to plan for increasing its production through changing irrigation system and using early maturing and drought-tolerant varieties of corn.
Patterns of Reported Age: Lack of Digit Bias (and No Holding)

Epidemiology

description: Richard Nichols reported a substantial digit bias (toward multiples of five) in the age distribution of physicians and plaintiffs involved in malpractice claims, and a most peculiar bias toward the single ages of 39 and 59. They advised that "physicians and others concerned with age-related problems should be aware of this when collecting and analyzing data." Since age is nearly always a critical variable in epidemiologic studies, it is important to know whether this is a widespread phenomenon.

description: We propose a semi-automated region-based color segmentation algorithm to extract anatomical structures, including soft tissues, in the color anatomy slices of the Visible Human data. Our approach is based on repeatedly dividing an image into regions using Voronoi diagrams and classifying the regions based on experimental classification statistics. The user has the option of reclassifying regions in order to improve the final boundary. Our results indicate that the algorithm can find accurate outlines in a small number of iterations and that manual interaction can markedly improve the outline. This approach can be extended to 3D color segmentation.

Subjects: Biophysics

description: We present an analysis of the planar motion of single semiflexible filaments subject to viscous drag or point forcing. These are the relevant forces in dynamic experiments designed to measure biopolymer bending moduli. By analogy with the “Stokes problems” in hydrodynamics (motion of a viscous fluid induced by that of a wall bounding the fluid), we consider the motion of a polymer, one end of which is moved in an impulsive or oscillatory way. Analytical solutions for the time-dependent shapes of such moving polymers are obtained within an analysis applicable to small-amplitude deformations. In the case of oscillatory driving, particular attention is paid to a characteristic length determined by the frequency of oscillation, the polymer persistence length, and the viscous drag coefficient. Experiments on actin filaments manipulated with optical traps confirm the scaling law predicted by the analysis and provide a new technique for measuring the elastic bending modulus. Exploiting this model, we also present a reanalysis of several published experiments on microtubules.

Come Out to Show the Split Subject: Steve Reich, Whiteness, and the Avant-Garde
Creators: name: Biareishyk, Siarhei
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2012
Subjects: Music

description: Steve Reich’s Come Out (1966) begins with articulated speech—a mere sentence—and in the span of 12 minutes and 54 seconds, by way of looping and phasing, it deteriorates into utter noise. Come Out is a tribute to the Harlem
Six case (1964) in which six African–American youths were falsely accused
of murder. The voice in the composition belongs to one of these six men,
Daniel Hamm; the noise at the end is a product of Reich’s experimentation
in the development of what was then a new avant–garde technique. Jacques
Attali theorizes music as an “organization of noise,” arguing that music is
“inscribed between noise and silence, in the space of the social codification”
(Attali 11;20). In order to transcend the musical tradition and its own time,
many avant–garde composers appeal to this sphere of noise—a sphere
identified as the “Other” of music; through the composer’s intervention, such
noise becomes the avant-garde’s music. In Reich’s Come Out, the composer
ostensibly identifies the noise as the signifier in the sphere of technology,
namely, in tape recordings; and yet, one must insist on the question, why
is the recorded voice that of a black man—of the domain that whiteness
constructs as its Other? As I will argue, this sphere of noise, for the avantgarde
musician, shares functional equivalence with what Jacques Lacan
theorizes as the function of the “big” Other. It is nevertheless necessary to
insist that the Lacanian field of the Other is a battery of signifiers; it is the
field of the symbolic order that is understood as the Other of being, which
is by no means synonymous with racial Otherness. If the Lacanian Other
then overlaps with racial Otherness, as I contend it does in the case of Steve
Reich’s Come Out and the avant–garde music more generally in a greater
scope, it is a result of historical contingency and not structural necessity. But
this historical contingency is a reason enough to insist relentlessly on the
conditions of such historical manifestation; one must question all the more
rigorously: why, in the development of the Western avant–garde music does
the field of the Other fall on the voice of racialized Otherness? What is the
function of this Other in reconstituting a subjectivity in crisis?

description: The detection of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH)-DNA adducts in human lymphocytes may be useful as a surrogate end point for individual cancer risk prediction. In this study, we examined the relationship between environmental sources of residential PAH, as well as other potential factors that may confound their association with cancer risk, and the detection of PAH-DNA adducts in a large population-based sample of adult women. Adult female residents of Long Island, New York, aged at least 20 years were identified from the general population between August 1996 and July 1997. Among 1556 women who completed a structured questionnaire, 941 donated sufficient blood (25+ ml) to allow use of a competitive ELISA for measurement of PAH-DNA adducts in peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Ambient PAH exposure at the current residence was estimated using geographic modeling (n=796). Environmental home samples of dust (n=356) and soil (n=360) were collected on a random subset of long-term residents (15+ years). Multivariable regression was conducted to obtain the best-fitting predictive models. Three separate models were constructed based on data from : (A) the questionnaire, including a dietary history; (B) environmental home samples; and (C) geographic modeling. Women who donated blood in summer and fall had increased odds of detectable PAH-DNA adducts (OR=2.65, 95% confidence interval (CI)=1.69, 4.17; OR=1.59, 95% CI=1.08, 2.32, respectively), as did current and past smokers (OR=1.50, 95% CI=1.00, 2.24; OR=1.46, 95% CI=1.05, 2.02, respectively). There were inconsistent associations between detectable PAH-DNA adducts and other known sources of residential PAH, such as grilled and smoked foods, or a summary measure of total dietary benzo-[a]-pyrene (BaP) intake during the year prior to the interview. Detectable PAH-DNA adducts were inversely associated with increased BaP levels in dust in the home, but positively associated with BaP levels in soil outside of the home, although CIs were wide. Ambient BaP estimates from the geographic model were not associated with detectable PAH-DNA adducts. These data suggest that PAH-DNA adducts detected in a population-based sample of adult women with ambient exposure levels reflect some key residential PAH exposure sources assessed in this study, such as cigarette smoking.
Extraterritorial Lockouts in Sports: How the Alberta Labour Board Erred in Declining Jurisdiction over the NHL

description: Labor related work stoppages are becoming an epidemic in the four major American sports leagues, the National Hockey League (NHL), National Basketball Association (NBA), Major League Baseball (MLB) and National Football League (NFL). With the successful use of player strikes and several successful antitrust challenges, 1970–2000 was a period of significant player gains in the form of free agency rights and salary increases. Yet the past ten years represent a period of substantial owner take-backs, largely through the use of owner-imposed lockouts. This trend began when the NHL took the extreme step of cancelling the entire 2004-05 season in order to impose a hard cap on player salaries. In 2011, both the NFL and NBA locked out their players and achieved reductions in the percentage of league revenues paid to their players. The NFL even survived an antitrust challenge to its lockout, defeating the players’ previously powerful negotiation tool. Following this playbook, the NHL again locked out its players in 2012–13, demanding that the players take a smaller share of league revenues and looking to further capitalize on gains from the 2004–05 lockout.

description: What can one hear in confinement, and how can that hearing be connective
lineament? In her grandmother’s crawlspace for seven years—compressed
as a means to escape, confined with access only to shallow air as a means
to flight—Harriet Jacobs was both discarded and discardable. What did it
mean to be discarded, for discardable materiality to bespeak an ontological
condition? What can we learn from Jacobs’s existence in the crawlspace, of
her throwing herself into claustrophobic conditions to stage her eventual
scurrying away? Her discarded body bodies forth socially and a sociality.
What is the social life—as opposed to the social death—of the discarded?
Her existence in that crawlspace, as an object that was thrown and thrown
away, is cause for celebration. Harriet Jacobs knew something about black
performance as a mode of sociality that is still reproduced today. Sound, for
Harriet Jacobs, was an important resource for allowing her thriving, even
in the most horrific of conditions.

description: Numerous factors appear to influence the outcomes of non-invasive brain stimulation, specifically neurophysiological factors such as neurochemical excitability and cortical morphology. The effects of TMS and tDCS may stem (at least in part) from modulations of GABA and glutamate, and baseline neurochemical concentrations and cortical thickness may relate to stimulation efficacy. Previous studies have shown TMS may provide a measure of neurochemical concentrations via paired pulse methods such as SICI and LICI. Links between tDCS and ratios of GABA/glutamate have also been highlighted in past research and thus we aim to investigate the relationship between neurochemicals and stimulation outcomes. This will be accomplished via a large-scale individual differences study, with stimulation sessions featuring tDCS and cognitive paradigms measuring executive function, multiple imaging sessions to investigate cortical excitability and morphology and a TMS session implementing paired pulse methods.
Testing the higgsino-singlino sector of the NMSSM with trileptons at the LHC

description: We propose a simplified light higgsino-singlino scenario in the NMSSM, in which the masses of the chargino and the lightest neutralino determine the masses and couplings of all 3 lightest neutralinos. This scenario is complementary to the simplified wino-like chargino/neutralino scenario used conventionally for the interpretation of results from trilepton searches, and motivated by lower bounds on the gluino mass in the case of GUT relations between the wino and gluino masses. We present all masses and mixing angles necessary for the determination of production cross sections of the chargino and the 3 neutralinos in the form of Tables in the M_{neutralino_1} - M_{chargino_1} plane, assuming Higgs mass motivated values for tan(beta)=2 and lambda=0.6. We show that this scenario leads to considerable signal rates, and present constraints in this plane from recent searches for trileptons at the LHC.

Cluster Analysis

description: The ocean is an important part of the global system. Tracking the connectivity between bodies of water is crucial for understanding local, regional and global changes in the ocean dynamics that mediate the spreading of nutrients and influence the marine ecosystem and ocean productivity. We developed a Data Fusion approach that enhances and automates the existing methods for the analysis of this connectivity. This approach combines and condenses two different data sources in two stages, Data Enhancement followed by Data Reduction. The Data Enhancement stage fuses equidistantly gridded data containing physical measurements and trajectories representing movement data. The Data Reduction stage aggregates the fused data into a Markov Model representation of the transition probabilities between ocean regions. We applied this framework to an exemplary analysis for the connectivity between two oceanic areas using real ocean data stemming from marine research. We show that this method directly tackles the limitations of existing marine data analysis methods and furthermore introduces new means to answer questions that had no quantitative answers up to now.
Environmental Sustainability and Human Capital Development

description: This study utilizes a multiple log regression model to examine how markers of environmental wellbeing are able to explain disparities in human capital globally. This paper utilizes data from The World Bank to examine relationships between emissions, air pollution, land and water conservation, renewable energy reliance, development status, and human capital levels. The results find that carbon emissions and particulate matter air pollution are the largest environmental predictors of human capital index scores, and that the positive relationship between carbon emissions and human capital level all but disappears amongst developed nations. This study fills a gap in the literature, providing a non-geographically isolated examination of particularly relevant explanatory variables, as opposed to solely utilizing index scores.

Do young people in Australian educational systems receive adequate support to feel empowered in engaging with Sustainable Development Goals?
Creators: name: Morley, Sarah
Publisher: name: Consilience
Year: 2020

description: With the anticipated rise of over double the Paris Agreement’s 2°C goal, climate change is likely to jeopardize the pros- perity of future generations. Thus, it has become increasingly apparent that young demographics must be integrated into the process required to achieve the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) owing to their disproportionately threatened futures over that of adult demographics. A major barrier to children engaging with SDG progress is evident in Australian educational policies, which fail to provide adequate opportunities for young people. Moreover, a lack of individual autonomy in young people can lead to feelings of disempowerment regarding sustainability. Hence, at the present moment, young people in Australian educational institutions are deprived of adequate support systems that could help them feel empowered by contributing to sustainability progress. Research methods undertaken for this paper include literature review, interviews with Australian students and teachers, research into successful international frameworks for youth programs, policy review, and analysis of Australian educational frameworks. Opportunities for empowerment through education and intergenerational support are vital for children to be integrated into the work of SDGs. This fails to transpire within Australian educational institutions. Although there exist various independent organisations which promote tools for youth empowerment throughout Australia, the lack of wider systematic support results in insufficient accessibility for teachers and students alike. Whilst young people possess the capacity to play a role in politically securitising climate change and the achievement of SDGs, supportive systems are required through structural changes, including policy, to initiate progress.

description: Considering what is taught is a key part of decolonising science teaching. It is not easy to know where to start and how to balance providing context to the knowledge with overloading students with information. Many of us teach with lecture notes passed down from other staff, or based heavily on textbooks and may not have considered the deliberate choices made of example and context used to illustrate key concepts. The KLAWES framework is a work in progress to enable reflection on what is taught across a range of dimensions of relevance to decolonising.

description: The study was conducted to look into the efficacy of vermicast as soil amendments on the growth and yield performance of tomato (Lycopersicum esculentum L.). It aimed to determine vermicast’s effect on the fruit quality of tomato and to determine which among the treatments gives significant results. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with five (5) treatments replicated three (3) times. Treatment effectiveness was based on plant height, number of flowering days, weight yield per hectare, ROI, physico-chemical of tomato and NPK soil content. Results revealed that 10 bags of vermicast per hectare in combination with inorganic fertilizer (90-0-0Kg N ha1) was a good soil amendment or nutrient source because it improved soil quality, fruit quality, and physic-chemical properties of tomato, thus, producing better yield and cost return.

In order to understand this inquiry, I will begin by defining IOT technology. Then I will examine the function and capabilities of IOT technology and how it helps smart cities’ urban devel- opment in areas such as architectural, agricultural, safety and surveillance, and health and sanitary needs. I will develop a prognosis that provides targeted solutions for how IOT can specifically reduce urban population strains and challenges in particular urban sectors, and analyze the environmental implications of IOT technology. Lastly, in the discussion section, I propose applying sustainable frameworks, that can incorporate IOT technology, and showcase IOT weaknesses. This research concludes with describing the impact of implementing IOT technologies to address specific urban infrastructure and overcrowding problems. It can allow readers to view the interdisciplinary potential of sustainability with the use of technology, environmental science, and engineering, and social science through urban development and planning. Internet of things technology, through a cross disciplinary approach, can alleviate and resolve humanity’s rising problems.

description: We examine the effect of CuO intergrowths on the superconductivity in epitaxial La_{2/3}Ca_{1/3}MnO_3/YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-δ} (LCMO/YBCO) thin-film heterostructures. Scanning transmission electron microscopy on bilayer LCMO/YBCO thin films revealed double CuO-chain intergrowths which form regions with the 247 lattice structure in the YBCO layer. These nanoscale 247 regions do not appear in x-ray diffraction, but can physically account for the reduced critical temperature Tc of bilayer thin films relative to unilayer films with the same YBCO thickness, at least down to ~25 nm. We attribute the CuO intergrowths to the bilayer heteroepitaxial mismatch and the Tc reduction to the generally lower Tc seen in bulk 247 samples. These epitaxially-induced CuO intergrowths provide a microstructural mechanism for the attenuation of superconductivity in LCMO/YBCO heterostructures.

Complications of the Climate Change Narrative within the Lives of Climate Refugees: Slow Causality and Apocalyptic Themes
Creators: name: Mascia, Raphaella
Publisher: name: Consilience
Year: 2020

description: With projections of rapidly increasing numbers of climate refugees in the next decades, the discourse surrounding climate refugees becomes ever more pertinent within the field of sustainable development and the public sphere. I offer an alternative analysis of the processes which surround “knowing” and “defining” climate refugees by employing an interpretive framework which disseminates the term “narrative” according to Jean François Lyotard’s The Postmodern Condition: A Report on Knowledge. In the discourse surrounding climate refugees, two main narratives interact with each other: the dominant climate change narrative and the individual narratives of climate refugees themselves. I contend that the dominant narrative of climate change complicates the narratives of climate change refugees through specific characteristics of climate change discourse, specifically, the temporal characteristics of slow causality and apocalyptic themes as evinced in two case studies, one in the small town of Shishmaref, Alaska and the other in the Maldives. Through researching and examining the thematic elements featured in narration, we gain a fuller comprehension of the personal narratives of climate refugees. The dominant climate change discourses permeate almost all environmental issues, and therefore, the field of sustainable development continuously confronts and interacts with such discourses. Furthermore, one aspect of sustainable development involves the ongoing circumstances of forced migration due to climate change. Illuminating the ways in which the dominant climate change narrative reduces the personal narratives of climate refugees compels us to look towards climate refugees themselves as sources for their own narratives instead of permitting the dominant narratives to overshadow their experiences.

National Culture and Urban Resilience: A Case Study of Resilient Cities
Creators: name: Cilk, Madison
Publisher: name: Consilience

description: As climate change, population growth, and globalization create new challenges for cities around the world, it is imperative that urban areas take steps to increase their resilience. Previous research has shown that national culture, or the beliefs and attitudes that guide behavior, can play a significant role in shaping the values of a nation’s citizens. With more and more cities designing urban resilience plans, it is highly relevant to assess the role that national culture plays in the creation of these plans. Through a qualitative content analysis of 71 urban resilience plans from 27 countries around the world using Geert Hofstede’s cultural dimensions theory, this research assesses whether and how national culture influences urban resilience efforts. The results of the analysis show that, for many cities, urban resilience efforts are not strongly influenced by national culture, but instead share a common thread of being inclusive, future-oriented, and prioritizing quality of life over profits.

Water Quality Pilot Study for Traditional Water Structure Revitalization Potential in the Deccan Plateau of India
Creators: name: Bessette, Jonathan

description: Traditional water structures such as stepwells and canal systems historically function as sustainable water sources. They are advantageous within India’s cyclic climate of flooding and drought, especially in regions of the Deccan plateau. Structures in the Deccan particularly tend to leverage laterite, a porous, geological feature specific to the region. Laterite is especially useful for collecting and maintaining water from surrounding aquifers, permitting reliable storage of water even during the dry season. Unfortunately, many of these structures have been damaged, polluted, and misused. This pilot study investigates the water quality of traditional water structures in the western Deccan Plateau region of India and their potential for revitalization. Samples were drawn from traditional water structures and domestic taps located across Central Maharashtra and Northern Karnataka. Water quality parameters were converted into a single water quality index (WQI) to characterize their current state. Qualitative site information such as degree of conservation and visible pollution level are compared via WQI. Quality amongst some traditional water structures was discovered to be comparable to domestic drinking sources despite a lack of conservation and usage in the former. Some sites exhibited strong potential for revitalization as domestic and agricultural water sources. Finally, a detailed case study of a Karez system in Bidar outlines current characteristics, challenges, and future work in promoting sustainable development practices for revitalizing traditional water structures.

description: In 1891, Brazil’s constitution decreed that at some point in the future the capital would be moved from Rio de Janeiro to a new location towards the interior of the country. In the 1960s, the capital was moved to Brasília. While one of the wealthiest cities in Brazil today, there were significant costs to building Brasília. This article aims to survey the development of the new capital and the negative externalities which emerged following its development.

Mindscapes and Landscapes: Learning to Adapt in Transnational Climate Adaptation Collaborative in Africa
Creators: name: Manteaw, Bob Offei
Publisher: name: Consilience
Year: 2020

description: This paper foregrounds notions of learning and how they are framed in transnational adaptive capacity building processes. While supporting emerging adaptation governance mechanisms that recognize the boundlessness of climate change impacts, the paper draws attention to learning and the role it plays in such processes. Learning, for the most part, is framed as an event rather than a series of conscious, reflexive, adaptive and multi-layered processes. Such framing, the paper argues, is limiting and is based on flawed understandings of adaptation to climate change. Instead, learning should reflect the underlying complexity of both the climate change phenomenon and socio-ecological systems change processes. This paper argues that current conceptualization of climate change fails to present climate change as emerging, evolving and complex and, in the process, influences how learning in adaptation is perceived, framed and pursued.

description: The aim of this paper was to identify factors influencing dynamics of international beer export. The Poisson pseudo maximum likelihood estimator was employed to estimate the export determinants of the biggest global beer exporters to 199 destinations between 2000 and 2017. We estimated that international beer export is positively influenced by gross domestic product of importing countries and cultural similarities. Trade between countries that share common borders, same language or colonial links has shown to be a very strong and positive determinant. We found a significant role of customs unions and signed free trade agreements; however, this result was not robust across all estimated models. Beer export is negatively affected by the distance between trading countries and their landlockedness, which confirms the relevance of transport cost in beer trade. Beer exports are declining with rise in population of importing countries, which signals an advantage in targeting countries with less differentiated beer supply.
