description: Autorappresentazione e autoconsapevolezza del samizdat come processo in tutte le metanarrative che descrivono il testo clandestino: come nasce, lo spirito con cui nasce, l’ambiente in cui nasce e si diffonde. Verranno utilizzate solo fonti testuali, escludendo del tutto testimonianze e memorie (salvo fonti ibride come Momemurs di Berg e Trapanazione del cranio di Gandlevskij), così da avere un quadro di grande intensità, non certo documentalmente attendibile, ma porta d’accesso esclusiva alla dimensione più profonda del fenomeno. I nuclei espositivi sui quali si concentrerà la trattazione sono: l’idea di autore e autorialità; il testo come oggetto fisico e la sua stesura; i rappresentanti del mondo letterario clandestino a contatto con i quali il testo nasce, e che svolgono un ruolo di potenziale fisicizzazione del narratario, ovvero di cancellazione dei confini tra narratario e destinatario; i canali di trasmissione e il destinatario “reale” (non noto); il tamizdat, come estrema concettualizzazione del canale, ma anche riflessione a posteriori da parte di scrittori già emigrati sull’intero processo.

title: The evolution of urban morphology in the creative industry-driven renewal of existing residential areas - taking the urban design of Anshan new village in Shanghai as an example
Creators: name: Zhao, Liang
Publisher: name: University of Strathclyde Publishing
Year: 2022

description: In China, the focus of urban development has shifted from incremental expansion to inventory renewal. On the one hand, existing residential areas in urban built-up area are seeking for new chance and intervention to achieve the transformation of urban form and public space. On the other hand, creative industry-driven renewal brings out the transformation and development of urban form based on the integration of society, industry and space. So the evolution of urban morphology reflects the result of organization of creative industry and its functional space. This article takes the case of creative industry driven urban renewal design in Anshan New Village, Shanghai as an example, showing the significant effects on urban form evolution of existing residential areas.

description: "Village in city" is a unique phenomenon in the process of China's rapid urbanization. As the concentrated embodiment of urban-rural conflicts in the period of urban transformation, urban villages have received extensive attention in the physical space and social security issues. They seem chaotic, but contain rich and colourful social life. They are vibrant communities, which provide a large number of cheap houses for the migrants. Different from modern cities or traditional villages, individuals of different classes and backgrounds constantly compete and cooperate here, forming a unique "community of social life" in urban villages. Based on the perspective of urban morphology, this paper takes Gaotang community, a typical urban village in Hangzhou as the research object, and analyses the relationship between its spatial pattern and social life through field investigation, interview and mapping. Firstly, this paper analyses the texture and public space characteristics of the self-evolution of urban villages in the context of urbanization. Then it insights the life integration of different population based on the environment-behaviour studies, which shows the daily life scenes and neighbourhood relations in a richer spatial level. The research will help to better understand the role of urban village as a social life community carrying a variety of lives. At the same time, the richness and complexity of urban village space and social life provide design strategies and reference for urban organic renewal and future community construction.
Optimising the Location of On-route Fast-charging Stations in a Battery Electric Bus System

subject: Electrical energy storage

description: The transportation system is responsible for producing around 18% of total greenhouse gas emissions in Australia. Electrified public transport, mainly in the form of Battery Electric Buses (BEBs), stands at the intersection of mobility and electricity systems and is a promising alternative for conventional bus fleets in achieving zero-emission targets. To provide reliable mobility service using BEBs, different charging methods, including battery swapping, fast and normal charging in depots, and main or on-route bus stops, are required to merge charging requirements into the bus schedule. The mobility-desired fast charging could merge BEBs into the bus network with minimum effect on bus schedules; however, it may lead to an unmanageable electricity demand. Therefore, a trade-off between mobility requirements and power system constraints should be achieved about the charging process. In this research, the optimal deployment of fast-charging stations for BEBs is addressed in order to minimise a cost function including the total cost of vehicle batteries, number of fast-charging stations, station electrification cost and electricity demand. It is formulated as a constrained optimisation problem and is solved using mixed-integer linear programming. Numerical simulations show the efficiency of the suggested approach when applied to a real-world bus network for eastern suburbs of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.

The Foundation for Developing an Exoskeleton for the Rehabilitation of Temporomandibular Disorders

Subjects: subject: Medical Physics (physics.med-ph)

description: Temporomandibular disorders affect a significant portion of the population, often causing pain and restricted jaw movement. Physiotherapy with active jaw exoskeletons seems to be a promising treatment approach. However, there has been limited progress in this area, with only a few studies published. The lack of detailed simulations and biomechanical jaw models in these papers impedes the design and validation of such devices. Thus, this work presents an open-source and extendable jaw model framework to support the development of jaw exoskeletons for TMD rehabilitation. The framework includes three model variants with varying complexity: a rigid body model with point-on-surface constraints, a rigid body model with mesh geometry constraints, and a hybrid model combining rigid dynamics with finite element methods. Model customization is facilitated through JSON configuration files, requiring minimal programming expertise. The framework was evaluated using experimental kinematic data from a single participant, with muscle excitations computed via PID controllers tuned through global optimization. The models successfully reproduced jaw movements without prior individualization, demonstrating their suitability for prototyping and studying exoskeleton behavior. The basic models are ideal for rapid prototyping, while the hybrid model provides insights into the effects of exoskeletons on the masticatory system. This framework establishes a foundation for advancing jaw exoskeleton development, with future work focusing on patient-specific modeling, improved anatomical detail, and tools for exoskeleton control and design. The framework code is publicly available and can be found at https://github.com/paulotto/exosim.

description: Background: The work of contemporary school principals is intensifying in terms of its complexity and volume. Many factors moderate and drive such work intensification. This study aims to understand what and how factors interact to complicate principals’ work. Methods: Focus groups and an online survey were used for data collection. Three focus group sessions with eight principals were conducted to help develop and refine the online survey. The survey covers 12 key areas in principals’ work and was distributed among the members of Ontario Principals’ Council. Descriptive statistics, correlation and factor analysis were conducted on survey results. Results: The study shows that there are many key areas that moderate principals’ work, such as administrative duties and responsibilities, jurisdictional policies, external influences, partnerships, and challenges and possibilities. School principals are experiencing increased expectations at work in terms of the number of tasks they are expected to undertake, the duration of time they are required to complete those tasks, and the many challenges they face at their work. Conclusions: Principals’ choice of leadership approaches and practices is subject to factors that exist within and beyond schools. Such factors moderate the way that principals carry out their work and limit their choices in exercising their professional autonomy.

description: This study explores how and why postgraduate trainees in internal medicine incorporate race into clinical decision-making (CDM). Recognizing that US medical education historically emphasized biological interpretations of race, this qualitative study seeks to capture the shifts in trainees’ perspectives as they navigate the role of race in clinical care. Using semi-structured interviews and thematic analysis guided by Piaget’s Theory of Cognitive Conflict and Learning, the study examined how twenty-four trainees, presented with a clinical vignette, integrated race into their decision-making. Findings revealed three cognitive patterns: 1) an "old equilibrium" where race was treated as a biological factor, 2) a "disequilibrium" where competing concepts about the role of race existed and 3) a "new equilibrium" that recognizes race as a social construct with individual health implications linked to racism. This study highlights a transitional phase for many trainees as they move toward a nuanced understanding of race in medical practice.

Toward a Soviet Poor Art: Ilya Kabakov’s Use of Trash
Creators: name: Komaromi, Ann
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Cagliari
Year: 2020
Subjects: Ilya Kabakov; Soviet nonconformist art; Arte Povera; Robert Rauschenberg; Comparative art history

description: This article examines the evolution of Soviet non-conformist artist Ilya Kabakov’s work to consider questions of influence and reception from within the U.S.S.R as well as in Europe and beyond. Komaromi compares Kabakov’s use of poor-quality objects (plokhie veshchi) and trash (musor) with the practices of Italian artists associated with Arte Povera to determine in what sense Kabakov produces a Soviet poor art. She further juxtaposes his approach to trash with the techniques of Robert Rauschenberg’s combines. While Rauschenberg’s combines present the resistant materiality of discrete objects, Kabakov’s trash ultimately invites consideration of the material context according to what Komaromi calls a syntax of reception. Audience responses to Kabakov’s works, including his famous installations with trash, speak to western and post-Soviet perceptions of Soviet and Russian identity, with implications also for how those audiences understand themselves.

description: The well-known expressions for the Green's functions for the Helmholtz equation in polar coordinates with Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions are transformed. The slowly converging double series describing these Green's functions are reduced by means of successive subtraction of several auxiliary functions to series that converge much more rapidly. A method is given for constructing the auxiliary functions (the first one is identical with the Green's function of the Laplace equation) in the form of single series and in the form of closed expressions. Formulas are presented for summing series of the Fourier-Bessel and Dini type; they are required to implement the two steps of the procedure for accelerating convergence. The effectiveness of the functions constructed is illustrated by the numerical solution of the problem of the dispersion properties of a slotted line with a coaxial circular cylindrical screen.

description: Meme clustering is critical for toxicity detection, virality modeling, and typing, but it has received little attention in previous research. Clustering similar Internet memes is challenging due to their multimodality, cultural context, and adaptability. Existing approaches rely on databases, overlook semantics, and struggle to handle diverse dimensions of similarity. This paper introduces a novel method that uses template-based matching with multi-dimensional similarity features, thus eliminating the need for predefined databases and supporting adaptive matching. Memes are clustered using local and global features across similarity categories such as form, visual content, text, and identity. Our combined approach outperforms existing clustering methods, producing more consistent and coherent clusters, while similarity-based feature sets enable adaptability and align with human intuition. We make all supporting code publicly available to support subsequent research.

description: Selfishly evolving centromeres bias their transmission by exploiting the asymmetry of female meiosis and preferentially segregating to the egg. Such female meiotic drive systems have the potential to be supergenes, with multiple linked loci contributing to drive costs or enhancement. Here, we explore the supergene potential of a selfish centromere (D) in Mimulus guttatus, which was discovered in the Iron Mountain (IM) Oregon population. In the nearby Cone Peak population, D is still a large, non-recombining and costly haplotype that recently swept, but shorter haplotypes and mutational variation suggest a distinct population history. We detected D in 5 additional populations spanning greater than 200 km; together, these findings suggest that selfish centromere dynamics are widespread in M. guttatus. Transcriptome comparisons reveal elevated differences in expression between driving and non-driving haplotypes within, but not outside, the drive region, suggesting large-scale cis effects of D's spread on gene expression. We use the expression data to refine linked candidates that may interact with drive, including Nuclear Autoantigenic Sperm Protein (NASPSIM3), which chaperones the centromere-defining histone CenH3 known to modify Mimulus drive. Together, our results show that selfishly evolving centromeres may exhibit supergene behaviour and lay the foundation for future genetic dissection of drive and its costs.This article is part of the theme issue ‘Genomic architecture of supergenes: causes and evolutionary consequences’.

description: Background. In order to address several health challenges, the Chinese government issued the National Essential Public Health Services Package (NEPHSP) in 2009. In China’s large cities, the lack of funding for community health centers and consequent lack of comprehensive services and high quality care has become a major challenge. However, no study has been carried out to estimate the cost of delivering the services in the package. This project was to develop a cost estimation approach appropriate to the context and use it to calculate the cost of the NEPHSP in Beijing in 2011. Methods By adjusting models of cost analysis of primary health care and workload indicators of staffing need developed by the World Health Organization, a model was developed to estimate the cost of the services in the package through an intensive interactive process. A total of 17 community health centers from eight administrative districts in Beijing were selected. Their service volume and expenditure data in 2010 were used to evaluate the costs of providing the NEPHSP in Beijing based on the applied model. Results The total workload of all types of primary health care in 17 sample centers was equivalent to the workload requirement for 14,056,402 standard clinic visits. The total expenditure of the 17 sample centers was 26,329,357.62 USD in 2010. The cost of the workload requirement of one standard clinic visit was 1.87 USD. The workload of the NEPHSP was equivalent to 5,514,777 standard clinic visits (39.23 % of the total workload). The model suggests that the cost of the package in Beijing was 7.95 USD per capita in 2010. The cost of the NEPHSP in urban areas was lower than suburban areas: 7.31 and 8.65 USD respectively. Conclusions The average investment of 3.97 USD per capita in NEPHSP was lower than the amount needed to meet its running costs. NEPHSP in Beijing is therefore underfunded. Additional investment is needed, and a dynamic cost estimate mechanism should be introduced to ensure services remain adequately funded.

description: Background: Implementing appropriate shift work schedules can help mitigate the risk of sleep impairment and reduce fatigue of healthcare workers, reducing occupational health and safety risks. In Australia, the organisation has a responsibility to make sure all reasonable measures are taken to reduce fatigue of staff. Therefore, it is important to assess what the current rostering processes is for staff responsible for creating the rosters for nurses. Aim: The aims of the project were to understand (1) who creates the rosters and what the process is, (2) what training and knowledge these staff have in establishing rostering schedules that optimise the sleep and wellbeing of staff, and (3) what the benefits and limitations are of current rostering practices. Methods: Findings were generated through semi-structured interviews, using cluster coding to form categories. Twenty four nurses responsible for rostering staff were interviewed from three different sites in Victoria (one metropolitan and two regional/rural hospitals). Data was analysed using selected grounded theory methods with thematic analysis. Results: The common themes that came out of the interviews were that rostering staff were under prepared, unaware of fatigue and safety guidelines and polices from governing bodies and had not received any education or training before taking on the role. The most common rostering style was self-rostering, where staff could submit preferences. However, there were concerns about staff fatigue but were divided as to who should be responsible, with many saying it was up to staff to preference shifts that they could cope with. The final theme was cultural barriers to change. Conclusion: While self-rostering resulted in staff having more freedom and flexibility, shift preferences may be influenced more so by a need to fit with lifestyle rather than to minimise fatigue and increase safety in the workplace. Greater consideration of the impact of shift work schedules on fatigue is required to ensure that the layers of clinical governance in health care organisations minimise the risk of occupation health and safety issues for employees delivering direct patient care.

description: Background:

Pediatric communication skills are essential in clinical medical education. However, employing children as standardized patients in the Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) encounters challenges regarding standardization difficulties and ethical concerns. This study aims to explore the feasibility and effectiveness of using adults portraying children as standardized patients (APCSPs) in an OSCE for assessing pediatric communication skills in medical college students.

Summary of Work:

In a pediatric communication elective course at the College of Medicine, Fu Jen Catholic University, the corresponding author aimed to introduce a novel OSCE using APCSPs. First, the author created an OSCE draft, tasking participants with explaining the processes of a COVID-19 nasal swab test and uncomfortable physical examinations to a 6-year-old girl. An expert meeting refined the OSCE script and checklist. Ten female adults with childcare professions, such as babysitters, were recruited and trained to portray children as standardized patients. They recorded five error-inclusive videos for six evaluators, yielding 30 samples for the OSCE pre-test. After confirming the acceptable validity and reliability of the OSCE, a comprehensive OSCE and a satisfaction survey were administered to students in the course. Institutional Review Board approval was obtained (FJU-IRB No.: C111178).

Summary of Results:

Following extensive discussions and consensus in the expert meeting, all OSCE checklist items achieved a content validity index score of 1. The pre-test results revealed an intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) of 0.91, indicating excellent inter-rater reliability, and a Cronbach's alpha of 0.86, reflecting good internal consistency. In the final OSCE, 41 students (43.6% male) participated, with 27 providing feedback. The average OSCE total score was 70.1±13.4, and the average global score was 69.8±20.6. The satisfaction survey demonstrated an exceptionally high score of 4.8 ± 0.3 on a 5-point Likert scale.

Discussion and Conclusion:

Using APCSPs in OSCE presents a valid, reliable, and satisfactory method for assessing pediatric communication skills in medical college students. Further studies are needed to explore the utilization of this novel approach in medical education.

Take-home Message: Utilizing adults with childcare professions as standardized patients in OSCE offers a practical and effective solution to address challenges in standardization and ethical considerations related to the use of actual child standardized patients.
Advancing pharmacists' competence in identifying inappropriate prescriptions through Just-in-Time Teaching (JiTT)

description: Background

Competence in evaluation of prescriptions is crucial for hospital pharmacists, yet relevant training was often arranged only in initial hospital orientation or early career training in Taiwan. Faced with the rapidly changing medications and updated treatment guidelines, pharmacists often find their clinical prescriptions evaluation skills insufficient.

Summary of Work

To address this gap, we introduced monthly Just-in-Time Teaching (JiTT) sessions in pharmacist morning meetings dedicated to discussing inappropriate prescriptions. Each session covers 10 inappropriate prescriptions selected from pharmacist-reported cases, aiming to include various types of inappropriate prescriptions. Before these JiTT sessions, pharmacists answer multiple choice questions related to the inappropriateness in these 10 prescriptions. During the sessions, clinical instructors use the pharmacists’ responses and explain the inappropriateness in these prescriptions. The pharmacists also have time to discuss the inappropriate prescriptions with their colleagues. In the end of the sessions, pharmacists answer the questions again as a post-test.

Summary of Results

We implemented these JiTT sessions from April 2023 to December 2023. The results of pharmacists’ pre- and post-tests show an average score increase from 57.3 points to 90.2 points (p <0.05). This increase corresponds to that on average, every pharmacist can improve approximately 3.4 types of prescription evaluation skills. Additionally, we observed an increase in pharmacist-reported cases, from 4.5 to 6.9 cases per pharmacist from April to December, indicating an enhanced competence in evaluation of prescriptions.

Discussion and Conclusion

The advantages of this JiTT session design include: (1) the selection of inappropriate prescriptions are more in accord with clinical needs; (2) the pharmacists' answers to questions the can help the clinical instructors tailor their teaching to the need of the pharmacists; (3) all hospital pharmacists can be informed and educated in a short morning meeting time; (4) through peer discussion, the pharmacists can construct knowledge and enhance problem-solving abilities together. The pharmacists can continuously improve their evaluation skills of prescription through monthly JiTT sessions.

Take-home Message

Using JiTT to discuss inappropriate prescriptions helps pharmacist better advance their competence in identifying inappropriate prescriptions.

description: This work describes how we integrated advanced Value-based Medicine concepts into the pre-clinical curriculum. We developed a conceptional framework and integrated value- based concepts into our OSCE cases and assessment rubrics. We developed a value-based medicine and narrative writing workshop for the 3rd semester where we introduce our modified SOAP-V format, a value-based H&P tool, which students are expected to use in the Internal Medicine Clerkship. In a post survey, students shared that they felt better prepared for clerkship. Our work supports the benefit of learning value-based medicine concepts early in medical training.

Publisher: name: F1000 Research Limited
Year: 2024

description: Background: Over-ordering blood and imaging tests not guided by clinical reasoning has escalated health care cost. Cost consideration based on clinical reasoning was not discussed or emphasized at undergraduate medical teaching. 

Aims: The aim of our study was to improve on clinical reasoning to sieve out unnecessary investigations with cost saving comparing to the approach of doing multiple tests practiced by our ward-based physicians (WBP).

Methods: We started a course with cost analysis based on clinical reasoning among our undergraduate students. Based on actual clinical cases in the wards, students were given history and physical findings and followed by a guided discussion on further investigations with clinical reasoning and cost analysis blinded to the ward management. Approach to jaundice was our case-based learning topic. The definitive diagnosis with investigative tests, cost, and hospitalization period were analysed based on CRC method compared to WBP. 

Results: Twenty patients with jaundice and abnormal liver function tests (LFT) were studied. Based on CRC analysis, 8 patients were diagnosed to have biliary sepsis with full blood count (FBC), LFT and 1 imaging study; 4 patients were diagnosed with Infectious mononucleosis based on FBC, LFT and Epstein-Bars viral serology with no imaging studies. In contrast, multiple blood tests and expensive imaging studies were done by WBP. 

Five patients had Metabolic Associated Steatohepatitis (MASH) based on CRC analysis with simple metabolic screens, FBC, LFT and ultrasound imaging; compared to extensive blood and imaging studies by WBP. Three had drug induced liver injury (DILI) with FBC, LFT, common hepatitis screens with ultrasound by CRC analysis; compared to uncommon viral serologies and expensive CT and/or MRI by WBP. There was significant cost saving with shortened hospital stays if we applied CRC analysis as compared to the actual clinical management by the WBP.  

Conclusions: Our study revealed that incorporating CRC analysis in the undergraduate medical postings enabled cost sensitive evaluation of common medical problems guided by clinical reasoning. 

With the implementation of this course, we hope that medical students turned interns would order relevant investigations with clinical reasoning and cost sensitivity as they are the first line medical contacts for our hospitalized patients.
