description: A survey of the data management and curation practices of scientists at six research labs and scientists affiliated with the NSF EarthCube Project was administered from October 1, 2013 - October 31, 2013. 129 scientists started and 107 scientists completed the survey for a 83% completion rate. The survey was an adapted Data Asset Framework survey. The DAF explored the topics such as data types, formats, barriers to data management, backups, and infrastructure to name a few. The DAF has been used by several higeher education institutions (HEIs) in the UK and the USA. The purpose of this survey was to build a better understanding of research data held in select research labs, to inform strategic planning for data management at Florida State University and to inform the wider FSU data management community. Within the scope of this study 'research data' was data that scientists currently held that has been collected and/or used in the course of their research at the Florida State University and/or respective institutions. Research data can be primary data collected by researchers or their research group or secondary data provided by a third party (i.e. existing data). Data may be quantitative or qualitative (e.g. survey results, interview transcripts, databases compiled from documentary sources, images or audiovisual files). Data that scientists 'currently hold' is all research data that they currently store anywhere (i.e., in your 'My Documents' folder, on shared drive, a PC or laptop, cloud storage, on portable media such as CDs/DVDs, external hard drives, paper, or USB.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: Food scientists need to work together with agriculturists, nutritionists, civil society, and governments to develop an integrative approach to feed a growing population sustainably. Current attention on food sustainability mainly concentrates on production agriculture and on nutrition, health, and well-being. Food processing, the necessary conversion of raw materials to edible, functional, and culturally acceptable food products, is an important link between production and consumption within the food value chain. Without increased attention to the role of food processing for a maintainable food supply, we are unlikely to succeed in addressing the mounting challenges in delivering sustainable diets for all people. The objective is to draw on multidisciplinary insights to demonstrate why food processing is integral to a future food supply. We aim to exemplify the importance of essential relevant sustainability indicators and impact assessment for developing informed strategies to feed the world within planetary boundaries. We provide a brief outlook on sustainable food sources, review food processing, and recommend future directions. We highlight the challenges and suggest strategies for improving the sustainability of food systems, to hopefully provide a catalyst for considering implementable initiatives for improving food and nutrition security.
The effect of sodium hydroxide surface treatment on the tensile strength of cellulose nanofibre

description: The use of cellulose nanofibres in the reinforcement of polymers has applications in bio-based building materials. However, one problem observed when using cellulose nanofibres within composites is the difficulty of ensuring their adequate dispersion. The phenomenon of agglomeration is attributed to the high density of polarized hydroxyl groups at the surface of cellulose nanofibres. Initial observations of cellulose nanofibre agglomeration, in a cement matrix at volume fractions larger than 0.1%, are theorized to have contributed to the brittle failure mode of the casts. In order to expand the use of cellulose nanofibres in bio-based building materials, it is necessary to reduce their agglomeration and improve their dispersion within a polymer through surface modifications in effort to improve their reinforcing capability. As such, a mild alkali treatment with sodium hydroxide (NaOH), also known as mercerization, was chosen for use in this study due to its longstanding establishment as a common, low cost, and simple process. Alkali treatment was found to improve the values of tensile strength and modulus, compared to the untreated strips, by 20% and 24%, respectively. These results could be attributed to the rearrangement of fibrils along the direction of tensile deformation, as a result of the dissolution of lignin and hemicelluloses fractions. This paper reports the initial results of a larger, ongoing study into the feasibility of utilising cellulose nanofibres as reinforcements within cement composite building materials.

description: The availability and accessibility of open data has the potential to increase transparency and accountability and, in turn, the potential to improve the governance of universities as public institutions. In addition, it is suggested that open data is likely to increase the quality, efficacy and efficiency of research and analysis of the national higher education system by providing a shared empirical base for critical interrogation and reinterpretation. The Centre for Higher Education Transformation (CHET) has developed an online, open data platform providing institutional-level data on South African higher education. However, other than anecdotal feedback, little is known about how the data is being used. Using CHET as a case study, this project studied the use of the CHET open data initiative by university planners as well as by higher education studies researchers. It did so by considering the supply of and demand for open data as well as the roles of intermediaries in the South African higher education governance ecosystem. The study found that (i) CHET’s open data is being used by university planners and higher education studies researchers, albeit infrequently; (ii) the government’s higher education database is a closed and isolated data source in the data ecosystem; (iii) there are concerns at both government and university levels about how data will be used and (mis)interpreted; (iv) open data intermediaries increase the accessibility and utility of data; (v) open data intermediaries provide both supply-side as well as demand-side value; (vi) intermediaries may assume the role of a ‘keystone species’ in a data ecosystem; (vii) intermediaries have the potential to democratise the impacts and use of open data – intermediaries play an important role in curtailing the ‘de-ameliorating’ effects of data-driven disciplinary surveillance. The report concludes as follows: (i) despite poor data provision by government, the public university governance open data ecosystem has evolved because of the presence of intermediaries in the ecosystem; (ii) by providing a richer information context and/or by making the data interoperable, government could improve the uptake of data by new users and intermediaries, as well as by the existing intermediaries; and (iii) increasing the fluidity of government open data could remove uncertainties around both the degree of access provided by intermediaries and the financial sustainability of the open platforms provided by intermediaries.

description: This thesis was submitted as a partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Master’s program in Bioinformatics at the University of Copenhagen. This project was conducted in collaboration with Karen Krogfelt at Statens Serum Institut (SSI), Copenhagen and Dr. Paul S. Cohen at the University of Rhode Island (URI). Escherichia coli is a bacteria living in the lower mammalian instestines. Many different strains of E. coli are found, ranging from pathogenic to commensal to probiotic. It is understood that these strains prefer different nutrients and therefore selectively inhabit the biofilms in the gut where other bacteria can provide the necessary nutrients. A number of samples are collected from this environment, including samples of intestinal mucus of mice, samples obtained through laser capture microdissection, and samples obtained from an in vitro model of the mouse gut. Through 16S rRNA surveys, the community structure is explored and it is investigated whether specific strains of E. coli can affect the composition of the local or general microbial community. To accomplish this the samples are sequenced and a sequence processing pipeline is set up based primarily on the software package Mothur. This provides an explaination of how to take the data that comes out of the sequencing platform and in the end provide it in a form that can be visualized and further analysed by statistical modeling. The requirements of the pipeline are detailed and provides a starting point for more setting up similar studies in the future. The results of the investigation into the communty structure are reported and some initial findings that were found to have statistical significance are reported. Finally, some recommendations for further work using the described pipeline and the mouse gut samples are given.
Provenance and sediment characteristics of contemporary gravel deposits at Sellicks Beach, eastern shore of Gulf St Vincent, South Australia

description: Sellicks Beach, located on the eastern shore of Gulf St Vincent, South Australia, is subject to wave-dominated processes and northward longshore transport. During winter, when wave energy is typically vigorous, gravel deposits are exposed across most of the beach, and three step-like berms are well developed. Sand is restricted to a narrow strip that is exposed only at low tide. In contrast, during summer, when wave energy is generally moderate to low, much of the gravel is covered by a thin veneer of sand and only the high berm, on the landward edge of the beach, remains as an obvious feature. Steeply dipping Neoproterozoic to Cambrian strata that outcrop strongly across Sellicks Hill are the original source rocks for the beach gravel; distinctive sedimentary textures, structures and fossils in the cobble-size clasts can be confidently matched with those of the provenance rocks. Much of the sediment entered the modern beach environment as a consequence of coastal erosion of transitional alluvial fan sediments. The oldest alluvial fan sediments are of late Pliocene to earliest Pleistocene age. Mount Terrible Gully provides a conduit for the input of fluvial sediment at the mouth of Cactus Canyon, where clasts as large as boulders accumulate across the beach. Sellicks Beach gravels are subject to longshore transport northwards. Relatively softer clasts, such as those derived from the Heatherdale Shale, are rare beyond Cactus Canyon. In contrast, quartzite clasts are more abundant towards the north. This lithological differentiation is attributed to preferential survivorship of clasts that are physically harder and chemically less reactive. The change in the shapes of clasts northwards, from predominately shingle-like ‘very platy’ and ‘very bladed’ at Cactus Canyon, to more ‘compact’ towards the boat ramp, is in accord with the more massive fabric of the surviving quartzite clasts. At Sellicks Beach, preservation of uplifted, coarse gravels, with entire and comminuted marine molluscan shells, of last interglacial age, provides evidence of neotectonism. At the landward margin of the beach, imbricated gravels in which pore spaces have been infilled with mud, and which show no evidence of modern coastal erosion, may provide evidence of continuing uplift during the recent Holocene. The geological setting, geomorphic framework and modern sedimentary regime at Sellicks Beach combine to provide an exceptionally useful outdoor laboratory for education in field geology.

description: The concept of design-led innovation is gaining importance in both the design studies and innovation research areas by drawing attention to design and its strategic value for innovation. This paper offers a critical review of academic articles, books, and national innovation assessment instruments on the conceptualizations and claimed outcomes of design-led innovation. The review identified three conceptualizations: outcome-, process-, and dominant logic-oriented conceptualizations, which differ in the manner by which design influences innovation outcomes. Claimed innovation outcomes include new to market products and services, competitive advantage, strategic change, and intellectual property. Empirical studies show a direct link between the qualities of the designed artifact on market-oriented innovation metrics. National innovation instruments likewise point to design as positively influencing multi-factor productivity. However, the review did not uncover any article presenting data to refute a null hypothesis relating to the positive influence of design on innovation, and empirical studies linking the intensity of design-led processes or degree of design-led capabilities to innovation performance remain inconclusive. This lack of evidence suggests that the concept of design-led innovation may be, at least at the moment, more a perspective rather than a set of evidence-based practices.

Monsieur,

Il nous est parvenu l'envoi de M. La Trulle et Vidal de Nice, & par le capitaine Richard une petite caisse avec ordre de vous la faire passer. Ils nous ont chargé de la faire ouvrir à bord, en présence du capitaine et avant qu'il remît son manifeste, leur ayant été remise disent-ils, sans les instruire du contenu. Nous l'aurions fait volontiers, mais le capitaine nous a prévenu, en vous l'envoyant sans nous avertir. Nous l'avons ouverte et trouvé qu'elle contenait les articles détaillés ci-bas. Comme ils sont prohibés et qu'ils seraient saisis dans les bureaux des fermes de la route, nous suspendront l'expédition jusqu'à ce que vous nous marquiez de quelle façon nous devons vous la faire.

Nous profitons avec plaisir de cette occasion pour vous assurer de la considération avec laquelle nous avons l'honneur d'être,

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2018

description: This research paper explores the nexus between international trade policies and economic growth, focusing oncase studies from developing economies. Through an analysis of trade policies and economic indicators, thepaper examines the impact of tariff and non-tariff measures, participation in trade agreements, and regionalintegration initiatives on economic development. Case studies from countries such as South Korea, Kenya, andPeru provide insights into the diverse approaches to trade policy formulation and implementation. Findingsreveal that countries embracing open and liberal trade policies tend to experience higher levels of economicgrowth, driven by export-oriented industries and increased market access. However, challenges such asinfrastructure deficiencies, institutional weaknesses, and income inequality persist, underscoring the need fortargeted policy interventions to ensure inclusive growth. The paper concludes with policy recommendationsaimed at promoting trade facilitation, infrastructure development, and inclusive growth strategies to maximizethe benefits of international trade for developing economies.

description: An adjustable, scaled form of the exponential-six (exp-6) potential is presented. The potential form allows stable scaling from a fully interacting exp-6 system to a non-interacting reference system for the direct computation of free energy differences or efficient particle growth simulations, particularly for high-density systems. Additional scaling parameters were introduced to overcome known endpoint effects, whereby reducing the potential to an ideal gas state can produce singularities in simulation averages or prohibit the sampling of close particle distances. The scaled potential is validated in several ways, using Hamiltonian thermodynamic integration, by comparison to vapour–liquid and solid–liquid coexistence free energies reported in the literature, and by the application of the Gibbs–Helmholtz equation. Forms of the scaled exp-6 potential for its implementation into molecular simulations and the thermodynamic integration methods are also developed.

description: Doel van de testDit screeningsinstrument helpt om een verhoogd risico op voedings- en slikproblemen (dysfagie) op te sporen bij mensen met een verstandelijke beperking. Het maakt daarvoor niet uit wat de oorzaak is van de beperking, of wat het niveau van de cliënten is.Met behulp van het screeningsinstrument voor dysfagie bij mensen met een verstandelijke beperking (SD-VB) wordt ondersignalering van dysfagie bij mensen met een verstandelijke beperking voorkomen. Een verhoogd risico op dysfagie wordt tijdig in kaart gebracht waardoor adequaat diagnostiek en behandelbeleid kan worden ingezet. Dit leidt tot verlaging van risico’s en verbetering van de kwaliteit van leven.

ToepassingsmogelijkhedenDeze handleiding bevat naast de verantwoording van de ontwikkeling en gebruikersinstructies (afname, scoring, interpretatie) ook een beschrijving van het cyclische dysfagiewerkproces waarin het SD-VB idealiter wordt ingezet. Dit proces, beginnend bij het moment van screenen op verhoogd dysfagierisico tot en met het uitvoeren en evalueren van het logopedisch behandelbeleid, is onmisbaar voor goede dysfagiescreening, -diagnostiek en -behandeling in de praktijk.

Voor wie?Screenen op dysfagie bij mensen met een verstandelijke beperking. 

Afname en scoringHet SD-VB bestaat uit 29 ja/nee-vragen over eet- en drinkgedrag. Zorgverleners kunnen dit gemiddeld in vier minuten invullen. Ze hebben hiervoor geen cursus nodig. De interpretatie van de scores is voorbehouden aan logopedisten.

description: A novel printed film consisting of multiwalled carbon nanotubes was fabricated on a polyethylene terephthalate substrate by means of a mass flexographic printing process. Potential applications of this film for electrochemical biosensing were examined through the oxidation of acetaminophen, dopamine, and uric acid in phosphate buffer (pH 7.0). The results demonstrate that the printed carbon nanotube film exhibits an enhanced electrochemical response toward these molecules. Dopamine and uric acid did not interfere with each other and, thus, their simultaneous determination may be performed. The results suggest the mass flexographic printing technique has potential application for the construction of low-cost, precise, and disposable multiwalled carbon nanotube films.

description: Αυτή η διατριβή αποσκοπούσε στη διερεύνηση του διαμεσολαβητικού ρόλου της εργασιακής ικανοποίησης στη σχέση μεταξύ ηθικής ηγεσίας και φιλότιμης οργανωσιακής συμπεριφοράς. Υιοθετώντας μια ποσοτική ερευνητική μεθοδολογία, η μελέτη ανέλυσε δεδομένα από ένα δείγμα 131 συμμετεχόντων. Τα ευρήματα αποκάλυψαν μια θετική σχέση μεταξύ ηθικής ηγεσίας και φιλότιμης οργανωσιακής συμπεριφοράς. Επιπλέον, όταν εξετάστηκαν οι επιμέρους διαστάσεις της φιλότιμης οργανωσιακής συμπεριφοράς - ατομική και οργανωσιακή - προέκυψε μια διαφοροποιημένη εικόνα. Η εργασιακή ικανοποίηση δεν μεσολάβησε στη σχέση μεταξύ ηθικής ηγεσίας και φιλότιμης οργανωσιακής συμπεριφοράς σε ατομικό επίπεδο. Ωστόσο, σε οργανωσιακό επίπεδο, παρατηρήθηκε μερική διαμεσολάβηση από την εργασιακή ικανοποίηση. Η έρευνα προσθέτει στην υπάρχουσα βιβλιογραφία αναλύοντας τον ρόλο της εργασιακής ικανοποίησης ως διαμεσολαβητή και παρέχει γνώσεις που έχουν τόσο θεωρητικές όσο και πρακτικές εφαρμογές για μελέτες αναφορικά με την ηγεσία και την οργανωσιακή συμπεριφορά
description: This dissertation aimed to investigate the mediating role of job satisfaction in the relationship between ethical leadership and organizational citizenship behavior. Adopting a quantitative research methodology, the study analyzed data from a sample of 131 participants. The findings revealed a positive relationship between ethical leadership and organizational citizenship behavior. Furthermore, when the individual dimensions of organizational citizenship behavior - individual and organizational - were examined, a nuanced picture emerged. Job satisfaction did not mediate the relationship between ethical leadership and organizational citizenship behavior at the individual level. However, at the organizational level, partial mediation by job satisfaction was observed. The research adds to the existing literature by analyzing the role of job satisfaction as a mediator and provides insights that have both theoretical and practical applications for studies of leadership and organizational behavior

description: Σκοπός της παρούσας μελέτης ήταν να διερευνήσει ποιοι παράγοντες συνδέονται με την υποκειμενική και εθνική ευζωία των Ελλήνων ηλικιωμένων σε περίοδο καραντίνας. Αρχικά, διερευνήθηκε αν υπάρχει κάποια σχέση μεταξύ των δημογραφικών παραγόντων, όπως το γένος, το οικονομικό και εκπαιδευτικό επίπεδο, με θετικά και αρνητικά συστατικά του ευ ζην και με το υποκειμενικό και εθνικό ευ ζην. Πιο συγκεκριμένα, μετρήθηκαν θετικοί και αρνητικοί δείκτες του ευ ζην όπως οι θετικές σχέσεις, τα θετικά συναισθήματα των ηλικιωμένων, το νόημα ζωής, καθώς και αρνητικοί δείκτες του ευ ζην, όπως τα αρνητικά συναισθήματα, η μοναξιά, η κατάθλιψη, το στρες και άγχος. Στους ηλικιωμένους συμμετέχοντες δόθηκαν ερωτηματολόγια αυτοαναφοράς μέσω διαδικτυακής πλατφόρμας. Πραγματοποιήθηκαν οι εξής στατιστικές μέθοδοι: διερευνητική παραγοντική ανάλυση, ανάλυση διακύμανσης, πολυμεταβλητή ανάλυση διακύμανσης, ανάλυση διαμεσολάβησης. Ενδεικτικά, τα αποτελέσματα έδειξαν ότι η οικογενειακή κατάσταση, οι άγαμοι και το χαμηλό εισόδημα συνδέονταν με αρνητικούς δείκτες ευζωίας. Επίσης, αναδείχθηκε ο ρόλος της παρουσίας και αναζήτησης νοήματος στη ζωή, των θετικών συναισθημάτων και των θετικών σχέσεων στο υποκειμενικό και εθνικό ευ ζην των ηλικιωμένων. Τέλος, προσδιορίστηκε ο αρνητικός ρόλος της μοναξιάς, τους άγχους, του στρες και των αρνητικών συναισθημάτων στο ευ ζην
description: The aim of the current study is to examine which factors associate with subjective and national wellbeing of Greek elderly population in a lockdown context. Firstly, were defined any relationships between demographics including gender, economic level and level of education, with positive and negative determinants of wellbeing and with subjective and national wellbeing. Moreover, positive and negative indicators of wellbeing were measured such as the positive relationships, the positive emotions of the Greek elderly, the meaning in life and on the negative spectrum, negative emotions, loneliness, depression, stress and anxiety symptoms too. The sample of the study were administered online self report questionnaires via google forms. Statistical methods were conducted such as factor analysis, analysis of variance, multivariate analysis of variance, mediation analysis. Some results indicated that the marital condition and the low income were associated with some negative determinants of wellbeing. The mediation analysis results showed the important role of meaning in life, of positive emotions and of positive relationships on subjective and national wellbeing. Also, loneliness, anxiety, stress and negative emotions was related with negative consequences on wellbeing
