description: Between October 2010 and November 2010, The Cuff Road Project (TCRP), a twice a day food programme in Little India, Singapore, had catered to 610 foreign workers. Of this, 81% had encountered injuries in their work and had filed a Work Injury Compensation claim. Many low-skilled foreign workers worked in the construction sector where there could be serious work-related injuries. Although there were several legislative measures and regulations to ensure the safety and well-being of these foreign workers, these were oftentimes unknown to the injured workers and were often not complied with by the employers, causing the medical treatment for injured workers to be delayed or denied. This case study highlights some of the policy gaps and the challenges faced by Singapore in maintaining a high level of growth vis-à-vis ensuring the welfare of foreign workers with particular reference to the construction sector. It zooms in on the experiences of two foreign construction workers who experienced workplace injuries, requiring costly and long medical treatment.

description: The self renewal process in colonic crypts is the object of several studies. We present here a new compartment model with the following characteristics: a) We distinguish different classes of cells: stem cells, 6 generations of transit amplifying cells and the differentiated cells. b) In order to take into account the monoclonal character of the crypts in homeostatic regime we include symmetric divisions of the stem cells. We first consider the dynamic differential equations that describe the evolution of the mean values of the populations but the small observed value of the total number of cells involved plus the huge dispersion of experimental data found in the literature leads us to study the stochastic discrete process. This analysis allows us to study fluctuations, the neutral drift that leads to monoclonality and the effects of the fixation of mutant clones.
Dissipative quantum oscillator with two competing heat baths

Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We study the dissipative dynamics of a harmonic oscillator which couples linearly through its position and its momentum to two independent heat baths at the same temperature. We argue that this model describes a large spin in a ferromagnet. We find that some effects of the two heat baths partially cancel each other. This leads to unexpected features such as underdamped oscillations and long relaxation times in the strong coupling regime. Such a partial frustration of dissipation can be ascribed to the canonically conjugate character of position and momentum. We compare this model to the scenario where a single heat bath couples linearly to both the position and the momentum of the central oscillator. In that case less surprising behavior occurs for strong coupling. The dynamical evolution of the quantum purity for a single and a double wave packet is also investigated.

Extending Healthcare to the Informal Sector in Laos

Subjects: healthcare financing
decentralisation
health insurance

description: In 2000, the Ministry of Health of Laos was faced with the seemingly insurmountable problem of how to extend healthcare coverage to the country’s informal sector. Laos had just implemented a social health insurance scheme for the formal private sector to complement the existing civil servants insurance scheme, leaving a huge vacuum in healthcare for the remaining 80 percent of the population in the informal sector. Health financing for this group of people was difficult due to the challenges of obtaining financing from a government with low tax revenues as well as aid from external donors, the decentralized nature of the health system and operational difficulties in extending healthcare to the informal population. By illustrating the problems and the policy options available, this case prompts readers to consider the complexity in striking a balance between the trade-offs of efficiency versus equity, expediency versus sustainability and quantity in terms of coverage versus quality.

Long-Term Land Use Planning In Singapore

Subjects: Singapore
land use planning
rapid population growth
infrastructure development

description: The Singapore government has a well-deserved reputation for its long-term, forward looking approach to land use planning, earned largely because of its success in transforming the island-state from a chaotic ‘third-world’ country to the well-run city it is today. In recent years however, Singapore experienced rapid population growth, which threw the planning system out of gear because infrastructure growth could not catch up. In response to public concerns over the long-term viability of its population policies and the liveability of the island, in 2013, the Singapore government released a Population White Paper[1] as well as a forward-looking Land Use Plan articulating the government’s proposed land use and infrastructure development strategy to support a population of 6.9 million by 2030. Despite best intentions, the reactions to the Population White Paper and the accompanying Land Use Plan proved negative. The events leading up to the Population White Paper, and the subsequent public uproar over the government’s proposed population policy roadmap and Land Use Plan raised key questions about the efficacy of long-term land use planning in Singapore. This case looks to examine whether Singapore’s long-term planning over the years has been effective, and also explore how and why it may have fallen short.
The Government Weighs in on Housing in Hong Kong

land administration

description: In July 2012, the property prices in Hong Kong were the highest in the world and providing affordable housing to the people of Hong Kong was among the top priorities of the government. The property prices had been rising in Hong Kong since 2009 due to various factors such as the inflow of money from rich Chinese mainlanders, low interest rates, a mismatch in the demand and supply and a stalling of public housing supply. The prices continued to rise into the beginning of 2013 in spite of several short-term measures taken by the government such as lower loan-to-value ratios, an increase in property transaction taxes, introduction of new stamp duties for overseas buyers etc. The steep rise in housing prices had resulted in the proliferation of cage homes where housing conditions were dangerous and deplorable. This case study raises several issues related to housing such as ownership versus rental, the provision of public housing and longer term measures such as land administration, market failures in the real estate market and the role of politics in guiding public policies.

description: Objective: The objective of the scoping review is to systematically examine and map the range, type, and outcomes of transdisciplinary models of care that have been implemented in hospital-based allied health teams. Introduction: Healthcare frameworks and strategic plans support transdisciplinary models of care as a strategy to redesign healthcare to optimize workforce skills and efficiency. There is limited research evidence that evaluates transdisciplinary models of care in hospital-based allied health teams, and the factors that might contribute to successful implementation. Inclusion criteria: Sources will be considered for inclusion that 1) define or describe transdisciplinary teams in any adult (>18 years of age) healthcare setting, and 2) evaluate transdisciplinary models of care in adult (>18 years of age) hospital settings, where at least two allied health professionals combine assessment, intervention and/or discharge planning to allow a single allied health professional to work beyond traditional discipline boundaries. Methods: The databases PubMed, CINAHL, Scopus, and the Cochrane Library, and the search engine Google will be searched. Results will be limited by date (2011 – 2021) and language (English). Screening and data extraction will be completed by two independent reviews, where disagreements are resolved by discussion or a third reviewer. Data will be analysed descriptively, and key results presented in tabular format.

description: Статья посвящена анализу и обсуждению интеграции инженерного подхода в педагогические науки. Раскрываются сущность и содержание понятия «инжиниринг», описываются представления об образовательном инжиниринге в разные исторические периоды и в разных социальных и культурных условиях. Обсуждаются возможности и рамки применения данного понятия в педагогической деятельности. Новизна материалов, представленных в данной статье, заключается в том, что подвергается анализу содержание самого термина «образовательный инжиниринг», выясняется значение, в котором он использовался ранее и используется сейчас. Анализируя новую для отечественной педагогики дефиницию, авторы приходят к выводу, что в современных условиях образовательный инжиниринг представляет собой целенаправленную деятельность педагога по созданию, освоению, внедрению и распространению инновационных образовательных продуктов. В статье показана роль образовательного инжиниринга в разработке уроков и их учебно-методического обеспечения, проектировании авторских образовательных технологий, конструировании электронных образовательных сред. На основании материалов, приведенных в статье, можно сделать вывод о том, что становлению и активному внедрению в педагогическую науку и практику термина «образовательный инжиниринг» способствуют проектный характер педагогической деятельности, необходимость доведения до этапа внедрения современных образовательных продуктов, потребность в навигации в цифровой образовательной среде, акцент на подготовку кадров нового типа для цифровой экономики. Показано, что возможно использование устоявшегося термина «инжиниринг» применительно к педагогическим исследованиям и образовательным процессам. В статье обоснована целесообразность открытия нового профиля бакалавриата «Образовательный инжиниринг и английский язык» в рамках направления 44.03.05. «Педагогическое образование (с двумя профилями подготовки)».

The temperatures of dust-enshrouded AGNs
Creators: name: Trentham, Neil

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2000
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A high density of massive dark objects (MDOs), probably supermassive black holes, in the centres of nearby galaxies has been inferred from recent observations. There are various indications that much of the accretion responsible for producing these objects took place in dust-enshrouded active galactic nuclei (AGNs). If so, then measurements of the intensity of background radiation and the source counts in the far-infrared and submillimetre wavebands constrain the temperature of dust in these AGNs. An additional constraint comes from the hard X-ray background, if this is produced by accretion. One possibility is that the dust shrouds surrounding the accreting AGNs are cold, about 30 K. In this event, the dusty AGNs could be some subset of the population of luminous distant sources discovered at 850 microns using the SCUBA array on the JCMT, as proposed by Almaini et al. (1999). An alternative is that the dust shrouds surrounding the accreting AGNs are much hotter (> 60 K). These values are closer to the dust temperatures of a number of well-studied low-redshift ultraluminous galaxies that are thought to derive their power from accretion. If the local MDO density is close to the maximum permitted, then cold sources cannot produce this density without the submillimetre background being overproduced if they accrete at high radiative efficiency, and thus a hot population is required. If the dust-enshrouded accretion occurred at similar redshifts to that taking place in unobscured optical quasars, then a significant fraction of the far-infrared background radiation measured by COBE at 140 microns, but very little of the submilllimetre background at 850 microns, may have been produced by hot dust-enshrouded AGNs which may have already been seen in recent X-ray surveys.

INDIVIDUALITY AS EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVE

description: В статье представлено понимание индивидуальности в философии, психологии и педагогике. В философском подходе индивидуальность понимается как особая форма бытия человека в мире, дающая возможность жить и действовать как автономная и неповторимая система, сохраняя целостность и тождественность в условиях непрерывных изменений благодаря способности к саморегуляции и саморазвитию. В психологиии индивидуальность представляет высшую интегральность неповторимого сочетания устойчивого единства свойств, составляющих «внутренний мир человека»; выступает как результат развития личности. В педагогике индивидуальность предстает как интегральная психологическая характеристика человека, отражающая семь сфер психики: интеллектуальную, мотивационную, эмоциональную, волевую, предметно-практическую, экзистенциальную и сферу саморегуляции (концепция индивидуальности О. Г. Гребенюка). Развитие индивидуальности человека это развитие всех семи сфер. Педагогика индивидуальности включает четыре концептуальных положения: во-первых, формирование и развитие целостной индивидуальности учащегося в педагогическом процессе представляет собой развитие всех его психических сфер в единстве ( как педагогическая цель ). Во-вторых, развитие индивидуальности и личности учащегося в единстве обеспечивает эффективную социализацию человека благодаря развитию его психических сфер, способностей воспринимать, осмысливать, оценивать, рефлексировать и др. ( как составляющая гуманистической парадигмы образования ). В-третьих, необходимо создавать условия для саморазвития индивидуальности учащегося и индивидуальности педагога ( направленность на субъектность участников педагогического процесса ). В-четвертых, требуется переструктурирование педагогического процесса с целью активизации всех психических сфер учащегося в единстве ( психологизация процесса обучения и воспитания ). Педагогика индивидуальности направлена на освоение самого человека, его собственного мира, на развитие его сущностных сил. Ее задача раскрыть, каким образом достижения философии и психологии можно применить по отношению к личностному развитию, психологическому здоровью, деятельности субъектов образовательного процесса.

description: In early 2013, Singapore's Health and Finance Ministers announced that the government was reviewing the country's healthcare financing system with a view to increasing the state's share of national healthcare spending from the current one-third to 40 per cent. This review occurred in the context of a fast-changing and politically more contested Singapore. Among others, Singapore's population was ageing rapidly, income inequality had risen amid greater economic volatility in the past fifteen years, and citizens were increasingly concerned about the affordability of healthcare in a country that had always emphasised individual responsibility over social protection. As the government grappled with the question of how it should adjust the balance between collective and individual responsibility in healthcare financing, health policymakers in Singapore faced a number of interconnected challenges: diagnosing correctly the limitations of the current financing system; finding the right balance between economic incentives, social equity and fiscal sustainability; and developing sound alternatives that were acceptable to Singaporeans with unequal levels of wealth and health.

description: This case study is in three parts and describes the leadership styles and challenges facing the ‘India Against Corruption’ (IAC) movement led by Anna Hazare and Arvind Kejriwal in India. Case A describes the beginning of the IAC movement as a series of alleged corruption scandals came to light in 2010. The IAC sought to pressurize the government into enacting a strong Lokpal (Public Ombudsman) Bill. The hunger strike staged by Anna Hazare drew massive public support and forced the government to create a joint drafting committee for the Lokpal Bill with five representatives from the government and five from IAC. The deliberations of the committee proved to be tough as the government reportedly accepted less than a dozen items from IAC’s 71-point agenda. The committee failed to reach consensus and IAC threatened to begin another hunger strike if a ‘strong’ Lokpal Bill was not introduced in Parliament.

description: The behavior of polyampholytes near a charged planar surface is studied by means of Monte Carlo simulations. The investigated polyampholytes are overall electrically neutral and made up of oppositely charged units (called blocks) that are highly charged and of the the same length. The influence of block length and substrate's surface-charge-density on the adsorption behavior is addressed. A detailed structural study, including local monomer concentration, monomer mean height, transversal chain size, interface-bond orientation correlation, is provided. It is demonstrated that adsorption is favored for long enough blocks and/or high enough Coulomb interface-ion couplings. By explicitly measuring the chain size in the bulk, it is shown that the charged interface induces either a swelling or a shrinkage of the transversal dimension of the chain depending, in a non trivial manner, on the block length.

Great Recession
incremental policy decisions

description: Singapore’s Budget for financial year (FY) 2009 was delivered in January, at the start of the Great Recession. Commentators hailed it as an extraordinary budget, and praised the radical policy measures that it contained. Although these claims contained a grain of truth, they also overstated the extraordinariness of Budget 2009. This case study situates Budget 2009 in the context of the Ministry of Finance's evolving policy orientations, and relates the seemingly radical measures in Budget 2009 to earlier policy initiatives that the Ministry had undertaken in response to greater economic volatility and uncertainty. The perspective gained from such an understanding of Budget 2009 is one of path dependence, continuity and incremental change. Though policymakers were articulating what appeared to be novel policies, these were in fact highly embedded in established policy understandings, orientations and bureaucratic capabilities. Analysing Budget 2009 against the backdrop of the earlier policy innovations of the Finance Ministry also allows one to appreciate how cumulative, incremental policy decisions contributed to significant shifts in the Singapore government’s response to a major recession.

The OPE turns out to be the same as in the absence of the boundary. For this result it is crucial that the trace anomaly is proportional to the Gauß-Bonnet density. Some relations to the $σ$ - model approach for open strings are discussed.

description: Статья посвящена актуальной на сегодняшний день проблеме оптимального использования в воспитательных целях развивающего потенциала событий, происходящих в жизни ребенка. На основе анализа различных подходов к определению понятия «событие» в философской, психологической и педагогической науках дается его обобщенная характеристика: событие это основной элемент человеческой жизни, представляющий собой совокупность обстоятельств, вызывающих эмоциональное отношение к происходящему и приводящих к изменению последующей жизни, а также влияющих на развитие сущностных сфер личности. Далее приведена классификация событий по различным основаниям: по характеру эмоционального отклика, по степени воздействия на сознание человека; события окружающей среды и поведения человека в среде, события внутренней жизни, составляющие духовную биографию человека; участники и место события, степень активности участия в событии человека и его отношение к нему, длительность события. Отдельно рассматриваются особенности педагогического события, заранее запланированного и организованного педагогом, а также сделан акцент на отличительных особенностях «ситуации» и «события». В целом понятие «событие» имеет более широкий характер, чем понятие «ситуация». В статье отражена специфика событийного подхода к социальному воспитанию в учреждениях дополнительного образования. На основе событийного подхода автором разработана цикличная модель социального воспитания, целевым компонентом которой является мотивация саморазвития личности. Подробно описаны все элементы модели: актуализация события/принятие явления как события, организация рефлексивной деятельности/отношение к событию, анализ события/определение его развивающего потенциала, ознакомление с возможными последствиями событий/прогнозирование различных вариантов последействия, проектировочная деятельность/планирование новых событий, а также перечислены основные методы, реализуемые на каждом из этапов. В заключение автор делает вывод о необходимости организации социального воспитания в рамках событийного подхода, насыщении жизни ребенка различными событиями, способствующими мотивации саморазвития и позитивных изменений его личности.

Целевые приоритеты современного школьного образования, выражающиеся в установке «учись учиться» и заключающиеся в формировании учащегося как субъекта учения и познания, не подкрепляются постановкой задачи по овладению школьниками умениями в повторении изученного. По данным исследования, осуществленного автором на базе ярославских и московских школ, учащиеся не осознают всей значимости повторения, не имеют четких представлений о способах его осуществления, не проявляют интереса к его содержанию и готовности самостоятельно ликвидировать свои пробелы в изученном материале. Одна из причин такого положения видится автору статьи в том, что повторение в дидактической традиции рассматривается как репродуктивный вид деятельности, и это на практике выражается в однотипных многократных упражнениях на заучивание информации, отработку решений стандартных учебных задач. Раскрывая психологическую природу повторения через трактовку понятия «воспроизведение» как активного творческого процесса с перестройкой, преобразованием ранее воспринятой информации, автор статьи утверждает и развивает понятие продуктивного повторения. Для этого через анализ диссертаций второй половины XX первой четверти XXI в. по проблеме педагогической организации повторения прослеживается движение научной мысли в определении повторения, выделении его основных функций. Дополняя их функцией приращения знаний, способов деятельности, автор обосновывает собственное понимание продуктивного повторения как не ограничивающегося изученным материалом, а опережающего его в ориентации на последующий программный материал (учебные темы, разделы). Опираясь на идеи «новодидактики» и «смыслодидактики» современных дидактических направлений, заявляющих о себе в качестве инновационных, автор публикации связывает возможности повышения эффективности повторения изученного с преодолением его жесткой этапности, включением в непрерывный процесс познания, приданием проблемного характера с элементами учебно-исследовательской деятельности и смыслообразованием. Выдвигается тезис о том, что метод проектов в наибольшей степени обеспечивает осмысленное продуктивное повторение школьниками изученного материала.

description: This study reports the whole-genome assemblies of two endophytic Bacillus subtilis strains originating from desert plants in Cameroon. B. subtilis FC6, isolated from Calotropis procera, was assembled into 13 contigs with a total genome size of 4.17 Mb. B. subtilis RA15, isolated from Alcasia albida, was assembled into 11 contigs with a total genome size of 4.08 Mb. These strains have been shown to exhibit antifungal activities against Fusarium verticillioides and growth promotion in maize (REF). Whole genome sequencing (WGS) represents a valuable strategy for characterizing Bacillus strains and provides insights into biocontrol mechanisms and plant growth promotion

description: Figure S3. Physical constraints of positioning illumination and detection objectives. (a) Schematics showing calculations of the elongated working distance (EWD) of the air illumination objective (Olympus Macro 4×/0.28NA/29.5WD Air) when used in immersion liquid (refractive index 1.454). Original working distance (OWD) is the working distance in air according to the objective specifications. A thin quartz coverslip and a 3D-printed cap were used to seal the illumination objectives. EWD was estimated to be 43.84 mm. (b) Geometric constraints calculation for the co-arrangement of the illumination and detection objectives. The two boundary conditions are shown in blue and green shading of the illumination objective. For the upper bound limit (blue), the relationship among different parameters is defined by the equation W 2 ∗ sin θ i = D 1 2 + D 2 ∗ cos θ i 2 $$ W2\ast \sin \left(\uptheta i\right)=\frac{D1}{2}+D2\ast \frac{\cos \left(\uptheta i\right)}{2} $$ . For the lower bound limit (green), it is defined by W 2 ∗ cos θ f = W 1 + D 2 ∗ sin θ f 2 $$ W2\ast \cos \left(\uptheta f\right)=W1+D2\ast \frac{\sin \left(\uptheta f\right)}{2} $$ . W1 and W2 are the effective working distances of detection and illumination objectives respectively. D1 and D2 are the diameters of the detection and illumination objectives respectively. θi and θf are the angular positions of upper and lower bounds respectively. For the 4×/0.28NA/29.5 mmWD (as illumination objective) and 10×/0.6NA/8mmWD (as detection objective), the calculated θi and θf are 43.32° and 63.37° respectively. This range served as a starting point during the optical alignment of the system. (PDF 596 kb)
Housing: How should Singapore’s Housing Development Board (HDB) Help Older People Monetise their Housing Assets and Age in Place?

description: This case explores housing monetisation in the context of Singapore’s rapidly ageing resident population, and the consequent challenges of ensuring retirement adequacy for the elderly and future elderly. It explores the linkages between Singapore’s policies on home ownership and asset enhancement, long-term residential property price trends, and the tendency for many retiree households to be “asset rich but cash poor”. It also explores the benefits of helping the elderly to “age in place”, assesses the options available to help them monetise the asset value of their properties, and discusses how these options can be enhanced.

description: Breast cancer is a significant health challenge, with accurate and timely diagnosis being critical to effective treatment. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining is a widely used technique for the evaluation of breast cancer markers, but manual scoring is time-consuming and can be subject to variability. With the rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI), there is an increasing interest in using machine learning and deep learning approaches to automate the scoring of ER, PR, and HER2 biomarkers in IHC-stained images for effective treatment. This narrative literature review focuses on AI-based techniques for the automated scoring of breast cancer markers in IHC-stained images, specifically Allred, Histochemical (H-Score) and HER2 scoring. We aim to identify the current state-of-the-art approaches, challenges, and potential future research prospects for this area of study. By conducting a comprehensive review of the existing literature, we aim to contribute to the ultimate goal of improving the accuracy and efficiency of breast cancer diagnosis and treatment.

description: Reabsorption, the multiple scattering of spontaneously emitted photons in optically thick gases, is a major limitation to efficient optical pumping and laser cooling in ultracold gases. We report mitigation of reabsorption using spatial and frequency modulation of laser light illuminating such gases. We developed a semi-classical model that successfully describes the reabsorption process when frequency-modulated light is present. It was necessary to extend the treatment in the model beyond a simple two-atom picture in order to reproduce our experimental results.

description: A detailed investigation of hadronic interactions is performed using $\pi^-$-mesons with energies in the range 2--10 GeV incident on a high granularity silicon-tungsten electromagnetic calorimeter. The data were recorded at FNAL in 2008. The region in which the $\pi^-$-mesons interact with the detector material and the produced secondary particles are characterised using a novel track-finding algorithm that reconstructs tracks within hadronic showers in a calorimeter in the absence of a magnetic field. The principle of carrying out detector monitoring and calibration using secondary tracks is also demonstrated.
