My Rights, My Resources: A study involving the development, implementation, and evaluation of a health care workshop for transgender youth in North Carolina
Creators: name: McGee, Andrew Pyles
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2017

description: Transgender youth in the South are disproportionately at risk for violence, trauma, and diseases such as HIV, and transgender people face significant discrimination in health care. This study and the workshops created are one of the first interventions for transgender youth focused on strengthening community resilience of transgender youth accessing health care in the South.
This is a study involving the development, implementation, and evaluation of an intervention for transgender youth (age 13-24) in North Carolina on navigating health care, self-advocacy, and local resources. The intervention was structured as a three-hour workshop for this population, and was designed to improve participants’ knowledge and self-efficacy related to using health care. The information provided in the workshop was emphasized and further disseminated by distributing an educational “zine-style” handout on health care rights, self-advocacy, and community resources. The workshop was developed and led by the student researcher, who is transgender, in collaboration with 2 transgender youth artists, 2 health care providers, a lawyer for counsel, and Piedmont Health Services. Increase in knowledge was measured quantitatively with a comparison between a pre-workshop survey and a post-workshop survey with questions on health care, self-advocacy, and resource information discussed in the workshop. Change in self-efficacy for advocating for oneself was measured quantitatively with a self-efficacy scale included in the pre-workshop survey and post-workshop survey. Analysis was conducted to determine the difference between the mean scores between the pre-workshop surveys and post-workshop surveys. Statistical testing was conducted to test for statistical nonequivalence between the means. Quantitative survey results demonstrate that the intervention did have an impact on participants’ knowledge, although this finding is not statistically significant, and self-efficacy, which was statistically significant. Mean knowledge and self-efficacy scores increased after both workshops, but only self-efficacy scores increased significantly.

description: We analyse the largest spectroscopic samples of galaxy clusters to date, and provide observational constraints on the distance-redshift relation from baryon acoustic oscillations. The cluster samples considered in this work have been extracted from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey at three median redshifts, $z=0.2$, $z=0.3$, and $z=0.5$. The number of objects is $12910$, $42215$, and $11816$, respectively. We detect the peak of baryon acoustic oscillations for all the three samples. The derived distance constraints are: $r_s/D_V(z=0.2)=0.18 \pm 0.01$, $r_s/D_V(z=0.3)=0.124 \pm 0.004$ and $r_s/D_V(z=0.5)=0.080 \pm 0.002$. Combining these measurements, we obtain robust constraints on cosmological parameters. Our results are in agreement with the standard $Λ$ cold dark matter model. Specifically, we constrain the Hubble constant in a $Λ$CDM model, $H_0 = 64_{-9}^{+14} \, \mathrm{km} \, \mathrm{s}^{-1}\mathrm{Mpc}^{-1}$, the density of curvature energy, in the $oΛ$CDM context, $Ω_K = -0.015_{-0.36}^{+0.34}$, and finally the parameter of the dark energy equation of state in the $ow$CDM case, $w = -1.01_{-0.44}^{+0.44}$. This is the first time the distance-redshift relation has been constrained using only the peak of baryon acoustic oscillations of galaxy clusters.

description: SLK, a STE20-like serine/threonine protein kinase, and LOK/STK10, or lymphocyte oriented kinase/serine/threonine protein kinase 10, are thought to be involved in apoptosis and regulation of cell division. To further study the physiological roles of these two closely related and poorly-studied kinases, there is a need to discover selective chemical probes. Modeling chemogenomics data with Quantitative Structure Activity Relationship (QSAR) analysis is well-defined approach employed by computational chemists to predict the bioactivity of an untested compound. Here we show that QSAR models built on large curated chemogenomics datasets can help to prioritize and design inhibitors selective for SLK or LOK from the majority of related kinases within the STE20 subfamily. Twenty-six predictive QSAR models were developed on both Carolina Cheminformatics Workbench (ChemBench) and GUSAR software with CCR and Q2 values obtained by 5-fold external cross-validation of 0.6-0.85 and 0.67-0.94, respectively. Over three million compounds from the ZINC dataset were screened through these externally validated QSAR models. Two compounds were predicted to be selectively active for SLK and forty for LOK. Predicted activity of these compounds was in agreement with the results of molecular docking with Schrodinger GLIDE on crystal structures 4USF and 4USE. Selected compounds were recommended to the Structural Genomics Consortium in UNC for experimental testing.

description: Aim: Comprehending the elements that influence COVID-19 vaccination acceptability and recognizing expediters for vaccination decisions are critical components of developing effective ways to increase vaccine coverage in the general population. This study aims to investigate the main factors affecting COVID-19 vaccination uptake among Dubai 'Airport's employees. In addition, it seeks to explore the main signs and symptoms that appeared on vaccinated employees after taking the COVID-19 vaccination, hence, track the vaccine's safety. Methods: Employees at Dubai's airport in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), mainly in Dubai, provided data. To gather data online utilising the Google Forms platform, a questionnaire was used as the main quantitative tool. As 2000 questionnaires got distributed, 1007 employees participated in the survey, yielding a 50.4% response rate. Results: The results show that employees overwhelmingly agree with the assertion that the factors of accessibility and affordability have a significant effect on their decision to receive the COVID-19 vaccine, followed by a trust in vaccine, knowledge, vaccine safety, advice and information, and beliefs on the vaccine. In this study, the agreement level on factors affecting the COVID-19 vaccine uptake was found significantly to be higher in females (88.6%) who were married (91.6%) and those aged over 60 years (89.2%) at P <.05. In addition, the results show that 53.7% of vaccinated staff was found to have one or more side effects of the vaccine, where none of them was hospitalized after immunization. The binary logistic regression analysis in this study shows that females were two times more likely to have 'vaccine's symptoms after vaccination than males (Exp (B): 1.6; 95%CI: 1.127 - 2.351, P< .01). It further reveals that participants in the age group over 50 were three times more likely to have 'vaccine's symptoms after vaccination than participants in the age group 20-29 (Exp (B): 2.9; 95%CI: 2.497-9.681, P< .001). Finally, it indicates that individuals with previous SARS-CoV-2 infection were 2 times more likely to have 'vaccine's symptoms after vaccination than those without known past infection (Exp (B): 1.9; 95%CI: 1.272 - 2.542, P< .01). Conclusion: There are several factors that playing a significant role in population’s decision to receive the COVID-19 vaccine, where the accessibility and affordability factors were found to have the greatest effect on their decision to uptake the vaccine. The current study concluded that COVID-19 vaccination is safe and that adverse effects from a vaccine are usually modest and affected by several factors such as age, gender, and COVID-19 infection history.

Addressing Prenatal Breastfeeding Self-efficacy and Advancing the Baby Friendly Hospital Initiative with HUG Your Baby Curriculum
Creators: name: Rippe, Molly

Year: 2019

description: Experts recommend exclusive breastfeeding for at least the first six months of life. The World Health Organization’s (WHO) Baby-Friendly designation has significantly impacted rates of breastfeeding initiation in hospitals across the United States. However, exclusive breastfeeding rates at six months are still far below the WHO’s recommendations.  Additional interventions to increase breastfeeding success are needed. A non-randomized, blinded experimental pilot study was designed to test whether participants in a standard childbirth preparation course offered at a Baby Friendly hospital differed in breastfeeding intention and self-efficacy from participants who took the same course with an added breastfeeding component from the prenatal education program called HUG Your Baby (HYB) (n=15). Breastfeeding intention and prenatal breastfeeding self-efficacy scales were used and analyzed using a pre-and-post-test design.  Results included an increased level of breastfeeding intention and self-efficacy in the intervention group when compared to the control group. Implementing HYB curriculum may further support the Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative and increase rates of successful breastfeeding.

description: We study the effects of stochastic thermal fluctuations on the instability of the free surface of a flat liquid film upon a solid substrate. These fluctuations are represented as a standard Brownian motion that can be added to the deterministic equation for the film thickness within the lubrication approximation. Here, we consider that while the noise term is white in time, it is coloured in space. This allows for the introduction of a finite correlation length in the description of the randomized intermolecular interaction. Together with the expected spatial periodicity of the flow, we find a dimensionless parameter, $β$, that accounts for the relative importance of the spatial correlation. We perform here the linear stability analysis (LSA) of the film under the influence of both terms, and find the corresponding power spectra for the amplitudes of the normal modes of the instability. We compare this theoretical result with the numerical simulations of the complete non-linear problem, and find a good agreement for early times. For late times, we find that the stochastic LSA predictions on the dominant wavelength remains basically valid. We also use the theoretical spectra to fit experimental data from a nanometric melted copper film, and find the corresponding times of the evolution as well as the values of the parameter, $β$.

description: We formulate a quantum waveguide theory of the Josephson effect in multiband superconductors, with special emphasis on iron-based materials. By generalizing the boundary conditions of the scattering problem, we first determine the Andreev levels spectrum and then derive an explicit expression for the Josephson current which generalizes the formula of the single band case. In deriving the results, we provide a second quantization field theory allowing to evaluate the current-phase relation and the Josephson current fluctuations in multiband systems. We present results for two different order parameter symmetries,namely $s_\pm$ and $s_{++}$, which are relevant in multiband systems. The obtained results show that the $s_\pm$ symmetry can support $π$ states which are absent in the $s_{++}$ case. We also argue a certain fragility of the Josephson current against phase fluctuations in the $s_{++}$ case. The temperature dependence of the Josephson critical current is also analyzed and we find, for both the order parameter symmetries, remarkable violations of the Ambegaokar-Baratoff relation. The results are relevant in view of possible experiments aimed at investigating the order parameter symmetry of multiband superconductors using mesoscopic Josephson junctions.

description: We report the discovery of a ultraluminous X-ray source (ULX; CXO J133815.6+043255) in NGC 5252. This ULX is an off-nuclear point-source, which is 22$^{\prime\prime}$ away from the center of NGC 5252, and has an X-ray luminosity of 1.5 $\times$ $10^{40}$erg s$^{-1}$. It is one of the rare examples of ULX, which exhibits clear counterparts in radio, optical, UV bands. Follow-up optical spectrum of the ULX shows strong emission lines. The redshift of [O III] emission line coincides with the systematic velocity of NGC 5252, suggesting the ULX is gravitationally bound to NGC 5252. The flux of [O III] appears to be correlated with both X-ray and radio luminosity in the same manner as ordinary AGNs, indicating that the [O III] emission is intrinsically associated with the ULX. Based on the multiwavelength data, we argue that the ULX is unlikely to be a background AGN. A more likely option is an accreting BH with a black hole mass of $\geq 10^4M_\odot$, which might be a stripped remnant of a merging dwarf galaxy.

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2019

description: This article explores solidarity as an important political praxis with diverse ways of participation through a case study of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s student anti-apartheid movement. Research heavily draws upon primary resources from the Southern Historical Collection at the Wilson Library. Secondary resources are utilized to contextualize the history of apartheid, internal resistance, and anti-apartheid solidarity within the global community. The focus is placed primarily on the Anti-Apartheid Support Group (AASG) due to limited archival materials. This article explores the AASG’s organizational structure, influences, collaborating organizations, strategies and tactics employed, challenges, and gains to argue that student solidarity efforts made an impact on the national anti-apartheid movement by influencing public awareness and policies that eventually aided the fall of the apartheid regime in South Africa. While the AASG was a prominent student organization, it does not represent the entire UNC Chapel Hill student movement nor paint a picture of the exact way the movement occurred, as there were various students who participated outside of university-recognized organizational bodies. Additionally, there were other student organizations such as the Black Student Movement and Action Against Apartheid, the participation of which is not fully accounted for due to the lack of an archival collection.

description: The Majorana neutrino in type-I seesaw and the pseudo-Dirac neutrinos in the inverse seesaw can have sizable mixings with the light neutrinos in the standard model (SM), through which the heavy neutrinos can be produced at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). In producing the heavy neutrinos we study a variety of initial states such as quark-quark, quark-gluon and gluon-gluon as well as photon mediated processes. For the Majorana heavy neutrino production we consider same-sign di-lepton plus di-jet as the signal events. Using the recent ATLAS and CMS data at $\sqrt{s}=$ 8 TeV with 20.3 fb$^{-1}$ and 19.7 fb$^{-1}$ luminosities, respectively, we obtain direct upper bounds on the light-heavy neutrino mixing angles. For the pseudo-Dirac heavy neutrino production we consider the final sate with tri-lepton plus missing energy as the signal events. Using the recent anomalous multi-lepton search by CMS at $\sqrt{s}=$ 8 TeV with 19.5 fb$^{-1}$ luminosity we obtain upper bounds on the mixing angles. Taking the varieties of initial states into account, the previously obtained upper bounds on the mixing angles have been improved. We scale our results at the 8 TeV LHC to obtain a prospective search reach at the 14 TeV LHC with high luminosities.

Year: 2019

description: The 2015 Valletta Summit on Migration between African and European leaders brought migration management to the forefront of foreign policy and cooperation relations. With a focus on bilateral relations between Senegal and the European Union since the launch of new instruments linking migration and development policy, the following study analyzes the driving interests for Senegalese and European counterparts regarding the treatment of migration as a foreign policy topic and its linkage to development and security issues. The research draws on evidence from interviews conducted in 2017 in Dakar, Brussels, and Rome with representatives from the Senegalese government, the Italian government, European Union institutions, the African Union Delegation to the EU, national embassies, NGOs, and think-tanks, among others. All interviews were conducted by the author. While bilateral relations for migration management were found to be of strategic interest for both parties, this article concludes that their securitization framework places a strain on development objectives and long-term relations between Senegal and the EU, due to the EU’s short-term prioritization of readmission demands and the reduction of irregular migration.

description: Aims: One of the vital roles of nurses is to perform pressure ulcer risk assessment that enables them to appropriately assess and track healing progress of wound and pressure ulcers among patients. Our aim was to assess the feasibility and clinical utility of the Bates-Jensen Wound Assessment Tool (BWAT) among nurses caring of patients with pressure ulcer. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional design used to collect data from 177 registered nurses caring of patients who developed or have a risk of developing pressure ulcers working in three hospitals in Jordan. Results: The mean feasibility score of the BWAT was 28.3 out of 36 (SD=3.4) with a median score of 29. Most of nurses reported that the BWAT was easy to use on a scale of 1-4 (best) (M=3.40/4, SD=0.62) and can successfully assess wound characteristics (M=3.40/4, SD=0.59). The mean utility score of the BWAT was 21.3 out of 28 (SD=2.7) with a median of 21. Nurses had a perception that using the BWAT enhances care of patients with wounds (M=3.36/4, SD=0.61) and makes communication easier between nurses and physicians. Conclusion: This study provided evidence that support the use of the Bates-Jensen Wound Assessment Tool for patients with pressure ulcer. Nurses perceived BWAT as easy to use, understandable, and relevant for assessing patients with pressure ulcers.

Year: 2019

description: Adam Ewing's book, The Age of Garvey: How a Jamaican Activist Created a Mass Movement and Changed Global Black Politics (2016), illustrates the climate that gave rise to twentieth-century Pan-Africanism, and specifically, Garveyism. Notably, Ewing does not delve into either the life of Marcus Garvey or his philosophy at the onset of his book. This is intentional so that he can contextualize the core themes of the book and introduce twentieth-century questions of race. His core themes include Pan-Africanism, black self-determination, and discourse around black leadership, and Garvey's efforts are examples of these themes as much as they are results of them. It is important to explore the impact of these themes both globally and within the United States, as well as how they may have changed the way blacks assert their understanding of race. The Age of Garvey (2016) provides valuable insight into the birth and spread of the Pan- Africanist movement, as well as grapples with problems faced within the movement, such as leadership, strategy, and how to unite blacks.

description: Aim: Electronic cigarettes (eCig) and heated tobacco products (HTP), that heat a solution (e-liquid) to create vapour and tobacco at a temperature below the point of combustion, respectively, are emerging forms of smoking device widely diffused. The aim of this study was to investigate knowledge, attitudes and behaviour toward HTP among young people in Italy. Methods: The Smoking E-CigaRette and HEat-noT-burn products (SECRHET) study was an online survey carried out in April 2019 using the platform Skuola.net, a platform where 2.5 million students are registered. Questions were related to knowledge about new generation smoking products, such as “Do you know what happens to tobacco when you use a heat-not-burn product?”, “Do you think electronic cigarettes create addiction?”, “Are products that use heated tobacco harmful to health?”, “Are electronic cigarettes harmful to health?”, “Have you ever heard of products that use heated tobacco?”, “Is nicotine present in products that use heated tobacco?” Results: A total of 13882 people completed the questionnaire, of which 8056 (58%) were females. Regarding smoking habits, 3393 (24.4%) declared to be current cigarette smokers, while 802 (5.8%) and 3173 (22.9%) were current and former e-cigarette smokers, respectively. Moreover, 715 (5.2%) and 1148 (8.3%) declared to be current and former heat-not-burn cigarette smokers. The variables associated to both eCig and HTP use were current smoking, age over 18 years, male gender, and residence in Central and Southern Regions. Concerning knowledge issues, almost half of respondents believe that electronic cigarettes are addictive and are harmful to health. Moreover, most of respondents do not know what happens to tobacco when using a heated tobacco device and if heated tobacco products are harmful to health. Conclusion: The prevalence of eCig and HTP use is higher among young people in Italy compared to adults and older people, and requires adequate public health interventions.

description: Software quality assurance has been a heated topic for several decades, but relatively few analyses were performed on open source software (OSS). As OSS has become very popular in our daily life, many researchers have been keen on the quality practices in this area. Although quality management presents distinct patterns compared with those in closed-source software development, some widely used OSS products have been implemented. Therefore, quality assurance of OSS projects has attracted increased research focuses. In this paper, a survey is conducted to reveal the general quality practices in open source communities. Exploratory analysis has been carried out to disclose those quality related activities. The results are compared with those from closed-source environments and the distinguished features of the quality assurance in OSS projects have been confirmed. Moreover, this study suggests potential directions for OSS developers to follow.

Levelised Cost of Energy

description: FLOTANT project public deliverable. The purpose of this document is to introduce the techno-economic model for the FLOTANT system, and the results quantifying the expected Levelised Cost of Energy (LCoE) to be achieved with this technology. This is done by considering two scales of deployment - for a pilot park (60MW) and commercial wind farm (600MW), at two locations - West of Barra and Gran Canaria, representing the range of operating conditions the FLOTANT system is designed for. The estimated LCoE values are compared with the cost reduction targets set out at the proposal stage. Comparing the key techno-economic indicators with the estimated values for a 600MW deployment by 2030 of the FLOTANT technology shows that the targets have been met.

description: The civil rights era was a period of unveiling and combatting discrimination against, and unjust legal treatment of minorities in the United States. This article discusses how the unconventional participation of influential lawyers in the civil rights movement was necessary in counteracting these norms. It was crucial both during and after this period for these legal advocates to ensure the public of their commitment to a transformation of the justice system by connecting with the diverse members of their community. This article serves to trace the valiant efforts of such lawyers in North Carolina and the South, allowing for a better understanding of the actions that were needed to provide change that has benefitted all minorities in this country, and by extension, the world.

description: We show that for any sequence $f: {\bf N} \to \{-1,+1\}$ taking values in $\{-1,+1\}$, the discrepancy $$ \sup_{n,d \in {\bf N}} \left|\sum_{j=1}^n f(jd)\right| $$ of $f$ is infinite. This answers a question of Erdős. In fact the argument also applies to sequences $f$ taking values in the unit sphere of a real or complex Hilbert space. The argument uses three ingredients. The first is a Fourier-analytic reduction, obtained as part of the Polymath5 project on this problem, which reduces the problem to the case when $f$ is replaced by a (stochastic) completely multiplicative function ${\bf g}$. The second is a logarithmically averaged version of the Elliott conjecture, established recently by the author, which effectively reduces to the case when ${\bf g}$ usually pretends to be a modulated Dirichlet character. The final ingredient is (an extension of) a further argument obtained by the Polymath5 project which shows unbounded discrepancy in this case.

description: Aim: Since March 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has been causing unprecedented challenges to higher education by disrupting traditional face-to-face teaching as well as international mobility of students, faculty and staff. The factual knock-out of established modes of teaching and learning and the restriction of international travel called for rapid action and a shift towards remote learning and teaching. Methods: Within the framework of a pragmatic approach, global health faculty from Fulda University of Applied Sciences in Germany and York University in Canada, including a small group of public health students from Cluj in Romania, established a globally networked learning environment. Between November and December 2020, a total of 147 students participated in joint virtual lectures and international collaborative group projects. To capture the acceptance and effectiveness of the innovative didactic experience, a semi-structured student survey was conducted directly after the last session. Results: The overall rating of internet-based cross-university teaching-learning was positive: Students reported benefits of an enriched learning experience through the sharing of different perspectives, approaches and debates with international professors and peers. Success and overcoming challenges for collaboration among students depended strongly on the level of coordination relating to time differences and expectations. Conclusion: The COVID-19 pandemic has revealed that transnational inter-university teaching-learning is feasible, provides a beneficial pedagogic option and points promising ways to the future. Conflict of interest: None declared. Acknowledgements: We gratefully acknowledge the contributions of Prof. Dr. Kai Michelsen and Prof. Dr. Marius I.

description: We report the results of $1^{\prime}.5 \times3^{\prime}$ mapping at 1.1~mm with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) toward the central region of the $z=3.09$ SSA22 protocluster. By combining our source catalog with archival spectroscopic redshifts, we find that eight submillimeter galaxies (SMGs) with flux densities, $S_{\rm 1.1~mm}=0.7-6.4$~mJy ($L_{\rm IR}\sim10^{12.1}-10^{13.1}L_\odot$) are at $z=3.08-3.10$. Not only are these SMGs members of the protocluster but they in fact reside within the node at the junction of the 50 Mpc-scale filamentary three-dimensional structure traced by Lyman-$α$ emitters (LAEs) in this field. The eight SMGs account for a star formation rate density (SFRD) $\sim$10 $M_\odot$ yr$^{-1}$ Mpc$^{-3}$ in the node, which is two orders of magnitudes higher than the global SFRD at this redshift. We find that four of the eight SMGs host a X-ray luminous active galactic nuclei (AGN). Our results suggest that the vigorous star formation activity and the growth of super massive black holes (SMBHs) occurred simultaneously in the densest regions at $z\sim3$, which may correspond to the most active historical phase of the massive galaxy population found in the core of the clusters in the present universe. Two SMGs are associated with Lyman-$α$ blobs (LABs), implying that the two populations coexist in high density environments for a few cases.

description: In this paper, we prove that all H$^+$(Z$^+$)-eigenvalues of each principal sub-tensor of a strictly semi-positive tensor are positive. We define two new constants associated with H$^+$(Z$^+$)eigenvalues of a strictly semi-positive tensor. With the help of these two constants, we establish upper bounds of an important quantity whose positivity is a necessary and sufficient condition for a general tensor to be a strictly semi-positive tensor. The monotonicity and boundedness of such a quantity are established too. Furthermore, we present global error bound analysis for a class of the nonlinear complementarity problem defined by a strictly semi-positive tensor.

Review of Racquel Gates' Double Negative: The Black Image and Popular Culture
Creators: name: Tyson, André E.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2019

description: Disparaging portrayals of African Americans in American media outlets have long been a site of much critique and protest. In Double Negative: The Black Image and Popular Culture (2018), Racquel Gates critically analyzes the ways in which African Americans potentially benefit in terms of economic, political, and social gains as a result of these negative images. In exploring the negative African-American images that proliferate contemporary media representations, Gates establishes a theoretical framework to approach and study such images, and calls for a critical analysis of their use. She references films like Boyz n the Hood (1991), Coming to America (1988), and New Jack City (1991); stars like Flavor Flav, Halle Berry, and Katt Williams; and, current reality television shows like Real Housewives of Atlanta (2012–present), Basketball Wives (2010–present), and Love & Hip Hop Atlanta (2012–present). Gates proposes that negative images are able to be used to confront issues that impact the black community and American society in ways that more positive images cannot.

Year: 2021

description: Introduction: Sexism and misogyny remains an ongoing threat to optimal health and medical services. An important factor in health and medical services is the education and training pipeline into these careers. A substantial body of literature demonstrates the impacts of sexism in third-level education and training institutions developing future health service staff. Athena SWAN accreditation is a benchmark designed to counter such institutional and individual sexist practices in education settings to foster equality. In recent years the Athena SWAN process has expanded to include professional and administrative staff, as well as academics. This process has also evolved to move beyond a narrow focus on gender, to also include other crucial issues such as race, sexuality and gender identity. Methods: This examination is based on the author’s role as a participant observer and critiques the Athena SWAN process in an Institute of Technology in Ireland. Results: This examination identifies a substantial number of deficits in the Athena SWAN process, as well as also identifying institutional resistance strategies to such gender equality work. Conclusion: The current Athena SWAN process in Ireland is critically flawed. Suggested strategies for those engaged in such work into the future are outlined. Conflict of interest: None declared.

FLOTANT - D.7.2. Viability and sensitivity studies on FLOTANT solutions
Creators: name: Garcia-Teruel, Anna
Publisher: name: Zenodo

Subjects: Floating offshore wind
Levelised Cost of Energy
Techno-economic viability
Net Present Value
Internal Rate of Return

description: FLOTANT project public deliverable. The purpose of this document is to provide techno-economic viability indicators for potential deployments of the FLOTANT technology and perform a sensitivity study of key input parameters used in the techno-economic model. The cost estimates of the FLOTANT deployments and their sensitivity to changes in input parameters are used to assess the viability of potential projects. The considered indicators include: the Levelised Cost of Energy, the Cost of Energy, the Net Present Value, and the Internal Rate of Return. These are calculated for pilot park (60MW) and wind farm (600MW) deployments in Gran Canaria and West of Barra. Analysing the identified key techno-economic indicators taking account of the current cost of electricity in the Canary Islands and the maximum market price set within the fourth round of Contracts for Difference (CfD) for floating offshore wind in the UK, shows that the studied FLOTANT deployments would be viable at all scales at both locations. For the 600MW deployments, this is also true even in the most pessimistic scenario considered in the sensitivity study.
Women’s Works: The Evolution of Tanzanian Women’s Movements from Late Colonialism to Post-Structural Adjustment
Creators: name: Peeples, Alexander
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries

description: Gender has become an important area of increased focus in discourses on human rights and development over the last thirty years, but unfortunately that focus has primarily been on liberal approaches to gender as mediated through international organizations. The history of Tanzania offers an opportunity for more expansive scholarly interrogations of gender within political action in Africa. In particular, the evolution of women’s movements in Tanzania from the early independence era to post-structural adjustment is instructive for understanding the potential of non-elite women’s subaltern mass movements and the limitations of liberal institutionalism. This article examines that evolution, tracing these movements after first identifying theoretical entry points that allow for a better understanding of the work of Tanzanian non-elite women.
Learning from the pandemic, building increased international cooperation

description: The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted a fragile preparation by countries and regions for epidemic events, exposing exacerbated nationalisms in pandemic mitigation and control actions. Both conditions decisively compromise the effectiveness and efficiency of pandemic control capacity. It is important to develop frameworks that help overcome frailties in response to epidemics. Based on a thematic literature review and discussions with multiple national and international entities an attempt was made to build a tool for responding to future epidemics, the Pandemic Preparation Framework (2PF). The proposed 2PF tool is aligned with the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction and with international bodies, such as the European Health Emergency Preparedness and Response Authority (HERA). It aims to be a framework for operationalizing these agreements. The response to pandemics must be based essentially on international action and closer collaboration between countries and regions.
