description: Representatives of the closely related genera, Interfilum and Klebsormidium, are characterized by unicells, dyads or packets in Interfilum and contrasting uniseriate filaments in Klebsormidium. According to the literature, these distinct thallus forms originate by different types of cell division, sporulation (cytogony) versus vegetative cell division (cytotomy), but investigations of their morphology and ultrastructure show a high degree of similarity. Cell walls of both genera are characterized by triangular spaces between cell walls of neighbouring cells and the parental wall or central space among the walls of a cell packet, exfoliations and projections of the parental wall and cap-like and H-like fragments of the cell wall. In both genera, each cell has its individual cell wall and it also has part of the common parental wall or its remnants. Therefore, vegetative cells of Interfilum and Klebsormidium probably divide by the same type of cell division (sporulation-like). Various strains representing different species of the two genera are characterized by differences in cell wall ultrastructure, particularly the level of preservation, rupture or gelatinization of the parental wall surrounding the daughter cells. The differing morphologies of representatives of various lineages result from features of the parental wall during cell separation and detachment. Cell division in three planes (usual in Interfilum and a rare event in Klebsormidium) takes place in spherical or short cylindrical cells, with the chloroplast positioned perpendicularly or obliquely to the filament (dyad) axis. The morphological differences are mainly a consequence of differing fates of the parental wall after cell division and detachment. The development of different morphologies within the two genera mostly depends on characters such as the shape of cells, texture of cell walls, mechanical interactions between cells and the influence of environmental conditions.

description: This thesis examines the role of the central and local administration (the Ministry of Health and District Health Service) and their development partners who are tasked with the implementation of health services with the attendant relevant health policies within the bounds of the Timor-Leste’s Health Policy Framework 2002. This study explores and analyzes how health policy actors, decision makers and implementers engage with policy processes and elements of governance. The elements include: structure, power, equity, ethics, cooperation, responsiveness, transparency, accountability, effectiveness and efficiency, and participation. The research explores structures and processes that are in place, the way they operate, and their legitimacy. It compares these arrangements in two districts, where one district has good performance and one district has poor performance in terms of achieving Ministry of Health identified health indicators and objectives. The study identifies that these elements of governance are essential to strengthen local health governance and to improve the health status and well-being of the Timorese people. The overall design of this study followed mixed-methods, qualitative and quantitative approaches with case studies. NVIVO 8 computer software program was used to facilitate data analysis and assist with interpretation. It was identified that the two districts have similarities and differences in history and experience of governance, as well as geography, demography, socio economic and human capital background. These have contributed to differences in performance and differences in the achievement of health indicators and objectives. It was found that the development of health policies and procedures was dominated by those with power, including donors and leaders of the political parties, which disempowered the local administration and communities. Lack of responsiveness on the part of the central and local administration and partners is the foremost concern of both districts. This lack of responsiveness jeopardizes the implementation of health programs.

description: Ocean Press has added a significant resource for those interested in issues of race and politics in the nation of Cuba. By publishing AFROCUBA: An Anthology of Cuban Writing on Race, Politics and Culture, Ocean has given academics as well as the general reading audience an additional lens with which to understand race relations and how Cubans themselves view the topic. I only wish this book had been available at the time Carlos Moore's work was published by the University of California Press in 1988. Moore's Castro, The Blacks, andAfrica was one of the first book-length offerings in English to consider Cuban race relations. Unfortunately, however, the book was devoid of a context or alternative perspective which other published literature was able to offer. Moreover, not only did the work raise a multitude of questions concerning Moore's research and sources, it also read like a highly personal foray into important and serious issues of race and politics. For those reasons I judged it to be an inadequate examination of the topic.

description: In recent years the framework of learning from label proportions (LLP) has been gaining importance in machine learning. In this setting, the training examples are aggregated into subsets or bags and only the average label per bag is available for learning an example-level predictor. This generalizes traditional PAC learning which is the special case of unit-sized bags. The computational learning aspects of LLP were studied in recent works (Saket, NeurIPS'21; Saket, NeurIPS'22) which showed algorithms and hardness for learning halfspaces in the LLP setting. In this work we focus on the intractability of LLP learning Boolean functions. Our first result shows that given a collection of bags of size at most $2$ which are consistent with an OR function, it is NP-hard to find a CNF of constantly many clauses which satisfies any constant-fraction of the bags. This is in contrast with the work of (Saket, NeurIPS'21) which gave a $(2/5)$-approximation for learning ORs using a halfspace. Thus, our result provides a separation between constant clause CNFs and halfspaces as hypotheses for LLP learning ORs.
 Next, we prove the hardness of satisfying more than $1/2 + o(1)$ fraction of such bags using a $t$-DNF (i.e. DNF where each term has $\leq t$ literals) for any constant $t$. In usual PAC learning such a hardness was known (Khot-Saket, FOCS'08) only for learning noisy ORs. We also study the learnability of parities and show that it is NP-hard to satisfy more than $(q/2^{q-1} + o(1))$-fraction of $q$-sized bags which are consistent with a parity using a parity, while a random parity based algorithm achieves a $(1/2^{q-2})$-approximation.

description: Beim fortgeschrittenen Ovarialkarzinom stellt die optimale Tumorreduktion (Tumorrest = 10 mm) den wichtigsten Prognosefaktor dar, bestenfalls eine R0-Resektion. Kann dies nicht erreicht werden, ist eine neoadjuvante Chemotherapie zu erwägen. Primäres Studienziel war es herauszufinden, ob es radiologische Merkmale im Rahmen des präoperativen CT-Stagings gibt, die die Wahrscheinlichkeit einer suboptimalen Tumorreduktion vorhersagen können. Weiterhin wurde untersucht, wie zuverlässig die präoperative Koloskopie in der Prädiktion der Notwendigkeit einer Darmteilresektion ist.

title: The impacts of hydropower development on livelihoods of downstream communities

description: Laos is currently promoting hydropower generation and sale of electricity to neighbouring countries as a key economic development strategy. While helping the Government of Laos achieve its economic development goals, hydropower comes with costs that accrue at the local level. Hydropower projects can interrupt, alter and inhibit river flows and associated ecological services that have supported rural livelihoods. The effects of hydropower therefore extend to people living downstream of the dams. Using a replicated cross-sectional case study design, this empirical research identifies and explores the perceived direct and indirect effects hydropower projects have on the people living downstream of six hydropower projects in Laos, which are at different developmental stages─planned, recently commissioned and long term operation. The Sustainable Livelihoods Framework has been employed to categorise and quantify these effects in the environmental, financial, physical, human and social domains. A social survey was implemented using face-to-face interviews of 40 households per case study. Villagers experienced loss of productive land, river ecosystems degradation and decline in river-based fisheries. Some households benefitted from hydropower related employment. However, most jobs were ephemeral and on-going employment was limited, particularly if the project was foreign-owned. Impacts on the natural capital were felt most acutely in villages below recently commissioned dams. Over time, people could adjust and take advantage of any new livelihoods opportunities associated with dams including reservoir-based fisheries and hydropower tourism. When hydropower developers incorporate environmental and social obligations during planning, construction and operation, loss of traditional livelihoods, especially river based fishing, can be reduced while social benefits can be fostered, particularly through livelihood improvement programmes. Human and social capital is improved if developers construct school and health care facilities. Key policy recommendations include mandating the consideration of downstream communities in social impact assessment, that ex-post impact assessments are conducted in addition to the ex-ante impact assessments, that capacity of downstream communities is increased by improving education and training, that mitigation measures are considered and implemented for every dam, that hydropower projects are mandated to provide environmental flows and a land-for-land option is available for compensation.

description: The Andean páramo is notable for high soil carbon storage and its contribution to ecosystem services. However, the páramo’s ability to maintain high soil carbon levels is threatened by land use change from tussock grassland and shrublands to agricultural uses. A chronosequence study was conducted in the páramo around Quito, Ecuador, to determine the rate of soil carbon loss from traditional fallow agriculture. In parallel, a land use and land cover classification of Landsat images was used to measure the change in agricultural areas between 1991 and 2017. There was a significant negative relationship between the time since initial cultivation of a field and soil C: Older agricultural sites had significantly less C compared to natural ecosystems due to an average loss of 0.045 percent soil C per year. Undisturbed sites had significantly more soil C than cultivated sites but not pastures or fallow fields, indicating that cultivation is the most detrimental stage of the fallow agricultural cycle for soil C storage. There was an 838 percent increase in cultivated land between 1991 and 2017 but a 10 percent decrease in pastures, indicating a trend away from traditional regenerative agriculture toward land use types that lead to substantial losses in soil carbon.

description: Microsatellite markers have been used recently for the identification and pedigree analysis of grapevines with leaves and wood as sources of vine DNA. To identify grapes after harvest and their products, we applied DNA extraction protocols to grape berries and raisins. DNA was obtained from both sources, but that of raisins was highly degraded. The suitability of DNA for PCR amplification of single genetic loci was shown by amplification of 11 microsatellite markers. 18 commercially available table grape samples were genotyped, and 11 (61 %) matched the corresponding genetic profile in our reference database. Four samples were shown to be defined incorrectly and 4 samples did not match any of the generic profiles present in the database. The investigated raisins were found to be cv. Sultanina. The results demonstrate that DNA-based cultivar identification methods can be applied to harvested grapes and raisins.

There is increased awareness of the high fatality rate associated with this crash type, but there is very limited pediatric-specific data related to rollover crashes in the United States. Recent focus on rollover mitigation has resulted in implementation of countermeasures, making it important to evaluate injury causation for child occupants in rollover crashes with a more current data set.Methods: We queried the Crash Injury Research and Engineering Network (CIREN) from case years 1998 through 2013. Rollover crashes for passenger vehicles of model year 1998 or newer with at least one restrained occupant (excluding drivers) between 0 and 19 years of age were included. Vehicle-involved physical component and occupant–vehicle contact maps were developed with the CIREN data set.Results and Conclusions: Of the 20 CIREN cases that met the inclusion criteria, 15 had one or more injuries attributed to contact with some part of the vehicle structure. The CIREN analyses revealed that the head was the most common seriously injured body region, primarily due to contact with the roof side rail and/or vehicle interior. This finding was true for both adolescents and younger pediatric passengers in outboard seating positions. Fifty percent of head injury causation scenarios involving the vehicle interior had component intrusion of 20+ cm at the point of contact. Further exploration of pediatric rollover injury mechanisms using computational modeling and real-world testing is recommended in order to improve upon current mitigation strategies.

description: Objective: The objective of the current study was to estimate the benefit for Europe of fitting precrash braking systems to cars that detect pedestrians and autonomously brake the car to prevent or lower the speed of the impact with the pedestrian.Methods: The analysis was divided into 2 main parts: (1) Develop and apply methodology to estimate benefit for Great Britain and Germany; (2) scale Great Britain and German results to give an indicative estimate for Europe (EU27). The calculation methodology developed to estimate the benefit was based on 2 main steps:1. Calculate the change in the impact speed distribution curve for pedestrian casualties hit by the fronts of cars assuming pedestrian autonomous emergency braking (AEB) system fitment.2. From this, calculate the change in the number of fatally, seriously, and slightly injured casualties by using the relationship between risk of injury and the casualty impact speed distribution to sum the resulting risks for each individual casualty.The methodology was applied to Great Britain and German data for 3 types of pedestrian AEB systems representative of (1) currently available systems; (2) future systems with improved performance, which are expected to be available in the next 2–3 years; and (3) reference limit system, which has the best performance currently thought to be technically feasible.Results: Nominal benefits estimated for Great Britain ranged from £119 million to £385 million annually and for Germany from €63 million to €216 million annually depending on the type of AEB system assumed fitted. Sensitivity calculations showed that the benefit estimated could vary from about half to twice the nominal estimate, depending on factors such as whether or not the system would function at night and the road friction assumed. Based on scaling of estimates made for Great Britain and Germany, the nominal benefit of implementing pedestrian AEB systems on all cars in Europe was estimated to range from about €1 billion per year for current generation AEB systems to about €3.5 billion for a reference limit system (i.e., best performance thought technically feasible at present). Dividing these values by the number of new passenger cars registered in Europe per year gives an indication that the cost of a system per car should be less than ∼€80 to ∼€280 for it to be cost effective.Conclusions: The potential benefit of fitting AEB systems to cars in Europe for pedestrian protection has been estimated and the results interpreted to indicate the upper limit of cost for a system to allow it to be cost effective.

description: Objective: Frontal crashes in which the vehicle has poor structural engagement, such as small-overlap and oblique crashes, account for a large number of fatalities. These crash modes are characterized by large intrusion and vehicle yaw rotation. Results from previous studies have shown mixed results regarding the importance and effects of these parameters. The aim of this study was to evaluate how vehicle yaw rotation, instrument panel intrusion, and the time history of the pulse angle influence chest injury outcomes.Method: This study was conducted using kinematic boundary conditions derived from physical crash tests, which were applied on a finite element simulation model of a vehicle interior including a finite element human model. By performing simulations with different levels of simplified boundary conditions and comparing the results to a simulation with a full set of boundary conditions, the influence of the simplifications was evaluated. The injury outcome measure compared between the simulations was the expected number of fractured ribs. The 3 simplifications simulated were (1) removal of vehicle yaw rotation, (2) removal of vehicle yaw rotation plus an assumption of a constant pulse angle between the x- and y-acceleration, and (3) removal of instrument panel intrusion.The kinematic boundary conditions were collected from 120 physical tests performed at the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety; 77 were small-overlap tests, and 43 were moderate overlap tests. For each test, the full set of boundary conditions plus the 3 simplifications were simulated. Thus, a total of 480 simulations were performed.Results: The yaw rotation influences occupant interaction with the frontal airbag. For the approximation without this kinematic boundary component, there was an average error in injury outcome of approximately 13% for the moderate overlap cases. Large instrument panel intrusion increases the risk of rib fracture in nearside small-overlap crashes. The mechanism underlying this increased fracture risk is a combination of increased airbag load and a more severe secondary impact to the side structure. Without the intrusion component, the injury risk was underestimated by 8% for the small-overlap crashes.Conclusion: The approximation with least error was version 2; that is, a model assuming a constant pulse angle, including instrument panel intrusion but no vehicle yaw rotation. This approximation simulates a sled test with a buck mounted at an oblique angle. The average error for this approximation was as low as 2–4%.

description: BACKGROUND: Typhoid fever, a systemic infection caused by Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi, remains a considerable public health threat in impoverished regions within many low- and middle-income settings. However, we still lack a detailed understanding of the emergence, population structure, molecular mechanisms of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), and transmission dynamics of S. Typhi across many settings, particularly throughout the Asia-Pacific islands. Here we present a comprehensive whole genome sequence (WGS) based overview of S. Typhi populations circulating in Papua New Guinea (PNG) over 30 years. PRINCIPLE FINDINGS: Bioinformatic analysis of 86 S. Typhi isolates collected between 1980-2010 demonstrated that the population structure of PNG is dominated by a single genotype (2.1.7) that appears to have emerged in the Indonesian archipelago in the mid-twentieth century with minimal evidence of inter-country transmission. Genotypic and phenotypic data demonstrated that the PNG S. Typhi population appears to be susceptible to former first line drugs for treating typhoid fever (chloramphenicol, ampicillin and co-trimoxazole), as well as fluoroquinolones, third generation cephalosporins, and macrolides. PNG genotype 2.1.7 was genetically conserved, with very few deletions, and no evidence of plasmid or prophage acquisition. Genetic variation among this population was attributed to either single point mutations, or homologous recombination adjacent to repetitive ribosomal RNA operons. SIGNIFICANCE: Antimicrobials remain an effective option for the treatment of typhoid fever in PNG, along with other intervention strategies including improvements to water, sanitation and hygiene (WaSH) related infrastructure and potentially the introduction of Vi-conjugate vaccines. However, continued genomic surveillance is warranted to monitor for the emergence of AMR within local populations, or the introduction of AMR associated genotypes of S. Typhi in this setting.

description: Focal chondral defects of the knee occur commonly in the young, active population due to trauma. Damage can insidiously spread and lead to osteoarthritis with significant functional and socioeconomic consequences. Implants consisting of autologous chondrocytes or mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) seeded onto scaffolds have been suggested as promising therapies to restore these defects. However, the degree of integration between the implant and native cartilage still requires optimization. A PRISMA systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted using five databases (PubMed, MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science, CINAHL) to identify studies that used autologous chondrocyte implants (ACI) or MSC implant therapies to repair chondral defects of the tibiofemoral joint. Data on the integration of the implant-cartilage interface, as well as outcomes of clinical scoring systems, were extracted. Most eligible studies investigated the use of ACI only. Our meta-analysis showed that, across a total of 200 patients, 64% (95% CI (51%, 75%)) achieved complete integration with native cartilage. In addition, a pooled improvement in the mean MOCART integration score was observed during post-operative follow-up (standardized mean difference: 1.16; 95% CI (0.07, 2.24), p = 0.04). All studies showed an improvement in the clinical scores. The use of a collagen-based scaffold was associated with better integration and clinical outcomes. This review demonstrated that cell-seeded scaffolds can achieve good quality integration in most patients, which improves over time and is associated with clinical improvements. A greater number of studies comparing these techniques to traditional cartilage repair methods, with more inclusion of MSC-seeded scaffolds, should allow for a standardized approach to cartilage regeneration to develop.

description: Northern Australian ecosystems are threatened by invasion from many non-native plants with the potential to cause significant environmental, social and economic impacts and management problems. With Aboriginal people owning approximately 30% of the land in northern Australia on which weed management takes place this situation also presents significant risks to Aboriginal cultural landscapes. Yet Aboriginal attitudes towards non-native plants and approaches to weed management remain largely unrecognised and unstudied. This thesis aims to examine Aboriginal attitudes towards non-native plants, including weeds, to identify impediments to Aboriginal engagement in weed management and investigate how future engagement should take place. Ethnographic and ethnobotanical research was undertaken in two case study areas in Cape York, north Queensland on Wik and Northern Kaanju Aboriginal clan estates. The findings show that Aboriginal people hold a wide range of attitudes towards non-native plants, from intellectual incorporation, to tolerant ambivalence, to ‘not belonging, and that Aboriginal motivations for, and approaches to, managing weeds differ from those of Western scientists and government agencies. Aboriginal people identify impediments to their engagement in weed management as primarily external. This thesis argues this perception originates from a nature/culture dichotomy in which dominant Western scientific knowledge is seen as superior to placed-based Local Knowledge, thereby affecting weed management. For effective collaborative weed management Western scientists and government agency representatives need to adopt new approaches and epistemological frameworks to remove any assumed epistemological superiority giving more weight to Aboriginal voices. This thesis contributes to ongoing discourse in the socio-ecological and environmental anthropological literature about alternative world views and the place of Aboriginal Local knowledge. It helps illuminate the existence and nature of an intercultural/ontological gap affecting attempts to engage collaboratively with Aboriginal people. It also shows that a world view approach provides a useful framework for studying attitudes to weeds and weed management on Aboriginal lands.
