description: Purpose: Report a successful case of scleral perforation repair, refractive to treatment with bank-scleral graft, using pretibial periosteum graft patch. Case Report: A patient who suffered a traumatic scleral perforation was treated unsuccessfully with bank-scleral patch graft. An autologous pretibial periosteal patch graft was then obtained and sutured to the scleral rupture with the osteogenic layer facing the sclera. The periosteum patch was covered by amniotic membrane and conjunctiva. Results: Early vascularization was observed in the first seven days postoperative. The autologous periosteal patch graft and conjunctiva remained stable over a follow-up period of 6 months. Conclusion: An autologous periosteal patch graft could be a good alternative after a non-successful bank-scleral patch repair of a scleral perforation.

description: Although great progress has been made in the field of Natural Language Processing (NLP) over the last few years, particularly with the development of attention-based models, less research has been contributed towards modeling keystroke log data. State of the Art (SOTA) methods handle textual data directly and while this has certainly produced excellent results, the time complexity and resource usage is quite high for such methods. Additionally, these methods fail to incorporate the actual writing process when assessing text and instead solely focus on the content. Therefore, I propose a framework for modeling textual data using keystroke based features. Such methods pay attention to how a document or response was written, rather than the final text that was produced. These features are vastly different from the kind of features extracted from raw text but reveals information that is otherwise hidden. The results in this paper show that not only are models trained on keystroke log data capable of achieving strong results on a downstream task, but they do it in a significantly shorter amount of time compared to traditional methods.

description: We present an optical (gri) study during quiescence of the accreting millisecond X-ray pulsar IGR J00291+5934 performed with the 10.4m Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC) in August 2014. Despite the source being in quiescence at the time of our observations, it showed a strong optical flaring activity, more pronounced at higher frequencies (i.e. the g band). Once the flares were subtracted, we tentatively recovered a sinusoidal modulation at the system orbital period in all bands, even if a significant phase shift with respect to an irradiated star, typical of accreting millisecond X-ray pulsars is detected. We conclude that the observed flaring could be a manifestation of the presence of an accretion disc in the system. The observed light curve variability could be explained by the presence of a superhump, which might be another proof of the formation of an accretion disc. In particular, the disc at the time of our observations was probably preparing to the new outburst of the source, that happened just a few months later, in 2015.

Subjects: subject: Social and Behavioral Sciences

description: In urban areas, private motorized vehicles produce several negative externalities, such as air pollution, noise, congestion, traffic accidents and GHG emissions that contribute to climate change. In addition to economic instruments, notably road pricing, cities are increasingly using pedestrianization and traffic calming measures to reduce the use of cars and support switches to active mobility. These measures have been shown to improve accessibility, mobility, safety, and health and support the environment and local economy. Despite these benefits, the implementation of policies to reduce car use is increasingly being met with political opposition. We ask how Swiss residents assess traffic reduction measures in urban areas. In particular, we are interested in how preferences depend on the design of the policy package personal costs, distribution of costs and various respondent characteristics and attitudes.
The effects of industrial ototoxic agents and noise on hearing

Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Recent epidemiological and laboratory experimental studies have established that some commonly used organic solvents and heavy metals can be ototoxic. Workers exposed to these substances may also be exposed to high levels of industrial noise. -- The possibility of short or long term combined exposure to noise and chemicals poses new questions for hazard risk assessment. This research project reviews aspects of the scientific literature on potential industrial and environmental ototoxic agents and, where possible, on the combined effects of multiple exposures. Multiple exposures may be exposures to mixtures of chemicals, sequential exposures to chemicals or exposures to chemicals and noise sequentially or simultaneously. -- Organic solvents implicated are unsaturated aliphatic or aromatic compounds including toluene, styrene, xylene, trichloroethylene and carbon disulphide and the heavy metals include lead, mercury and tin. -- Animal and human studies of the effects of these substances on hearing are reviewed. Particular attention is devoted to combined effects. Some data on other possible ototoxic chemicals are reviewed. -- The study finds that there are similarities in the effects of various solvents on the cochlea and that there are neurotoxic effects of variable severity. Interactions between noise and chemicals are described. -- There is some information on the effects of those agents at the cellular and biochemical level especially for mercury and tin. Generally, however knowledge of the biochemical and pharmacokinetic basis for ototoxicity was found to be quite limited. -- Studies of chemicals and noise together in both humans and animals confirm the need for watchfulness in occupational health and safety regulation and rigour in enforcing existing exposure standards for both noise and chemicals especially where there is the possibility of multiple exposures.
Posterior Uveal Melanoma

Subjects: Diseases

description: Uveal melanoma is a deadly ocular malignancy that involves predominantly the choroid. Once diagnosed, patients usually require long-term follow up to detect any local recurrence and metastatic disease to the liver, lung and skin. One must be competent at diagnosing choroidal melanoma in order to enable prompt intervention, which is critical to patient survival. When faced with the challenge of distinguishing it from an initial choroidal nevus or a nevus potentially transforming into a melanoma, especially small-sized, indicators for malignancy include presence of orange lipofuscin pigment, associated sub-retinal fluid, tumour proximity within 3mm of the optic disc, absence of halo or drusen, and symptoms of flashes, floaters or blurred vision. A comprehensive dilated fundus examination supplemented with fundus imaging such as optical coherence tomography and fundus auto-fluorescence is warranted. Ancillary testing using fluorescein and indocyanine green angiography, and ultrasonography demonstrating tumour hollowness in malignancy may also prove beneficial.

description: Algebraic boundaries of convex semi-algebraic sets are closely related to polynomial optimization problems. Building upon Rainer Sinn's work, we refine the stratification of iterated singular loci to a Whitney (a) stratification, which gives a list of candidates of varieties whose dual is an irreducible component of the algebraic boundary of the dual convex body. We also present an algorithm based on Teissier's criterion to compute Whitney (a) stratifications, which employs conormal spaces and prime decomposition.

description: This paper examines the impact of financial integration and other variables on foreign direct investment capital inflows in ASEAN3 (Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam) and ASEAN5 (Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand, Singapore). Other variables are the gross domestic product, interest rate, infrastructure facility, labor cost, and trade openness. This paper uses the panel ordinary least square estimation with the method of first differencing for the period between 1996 and 2016. The authors divide ASEAN member countries into two groups by the level of economic development. The findings indicate that the coefficient of financial integration is positive and significant at 1 % level of significance on foreign direct investment capital inflows. The empirical results also support the hypothesis that foreign direct investment in ASEAN is positively correlated to market size, infrastructure facilities, and negatively correlated to labor cost as well as trade openness in ASEAN3.

description: Meteoritic abundances of r-process elements are analyzed to deduce the history of chemical enrichment by r-process from the beginning of disk formation to the present time in the solar vicinity, by combining the abundance information from short-lived radioactive nuclei such as 244Pu with that from stable r-process nuclei such as Eu. These two types of nuclei can be associated with one r-process event and cumulation of events till formation of the solar system, respectively. With help of the observed local star formation history, we deduce the chemical evolution of 244Pu and obtain three main results: (i) the last r-process event occurred 130-140 Myr before formation of the solar system, (ii) the present-day low 244Pu abundance as measured in deep sea reservoirs results from the low recent star formation rate compared to ~4.5 - 5 Gyr ago, and (iii) there were ~15 r-process events in the solar vicinity from formation of the Galaxy to the time of solar system formation and ~30 r-process events to the present time. Then, adopting a reasonable hypothesis that a neutron star merger is the r-process production site, we find that the ejected r-process elements are extensively spread out and mixed with interstellar matter with a mass of ~3.5 million solar masses, which is about 100 times larger than that for supernova ejecta. In addition, the event frequency of r-process production is estimated to be one per about 1400 core-collapse supernovae, which is identical to the frequency of neutron star mergers estimated from the analysis of stellar abundances.

Computational Literacy for Graphic Design

Publisher: name: Zenodo

description: Late years have seen growing debates about artificial intelligence. Such a spread depends on the positive results in applying recent technologies to face and voice recognition. This so-called second generation of artificial intelligence is affected by three factors: 1) the availability of large amounts of data, 2) the increase of computational power, and 3) new statistical algorithms. Although what we call artificial intelligence appears like an autonomous entity, we often forget that there is always a human presence behind the machine. It’s up to humans to shape artificial intelligence, even if such intelligence disappears later in a black box. Artificial intelligence, and more generally all the objects crafted with a computer, is always related to a design process. Design is therefore a discipline that is not formally limited to graphic design, especially when we see that the boundaries of disciplines are intertwined. Graphic design is a form of design, as such it cannot be isolated by forming boundaries with other disciplines including artificial intelligence or computing. Many graphic designers draw using algorithms, using computer programming as a way to foster creativity. For example, John Maeda had this idea in mind when he supported Ben Fry and Casey Reas to develop Processing, a programming language for computational graphic design. Proving that the MIT Medialab is famous for anticipating new tendencies, after twenty years Processing is still maintained and employed. Some disciplines such as the digital humanities support scholars in developing technical skills to change their daily practice, and some schools teach computer programming from a young age. Today designers can learn computer programming without being afraid. The benefits in terms of creativity and job opportunities are obvious. Artificial intelligence is among the tools that a designer can use. The distance in front of artificial intelligence can be filled up by studying and practicing at home and school. The point is not discussing what artificial intelligence is, but rather inviting the largest number of people to be familiar with programming. The demystification of computer programming should begin in youth, and designers cannot be unready for the data age. Graphic design cannot be distinct from data and algorithmic design, they should go side by side. Society as well as designers need updated education programs, they need a computational literacy.

description: Dry eye syndrome is a multifactorial disease of tears and ocular surface resulting in ocular discomfort, visual disturbances and damage to the ocular surface with tear film instability. Diagnosis is based on symptom based assessment, clinical examination and tests like Schirmer’s, tear film break up time and Rose bengal staining of ocular surface. Conjunctival impression cytology (CIC) is a non-invasive, easy to perform test which can be used with other tests to diagnose dry eye. The present study aimed at evaluating the usefulness of impression cytology in the diagnosis of dry eye syndromes and to correlate the results of impression cytology with their aetiology. Materials and Methods: 150 eyes which met the inclusion criteria were subjected to clinical examination and diagnostic tests after obtaining informed consent. CIC samples were obtained from temporal bulbar conjunctiva and stained with periodic acid Schiff, Hematoxylin and eosin. The epithelial cell morphology was graded according to Nelson. Results: The eyes showed normal, grade 1, grade 2 and grade 3 scores of CIC in 26 (17.33%), 41 (27.33%), 55 (36.67%) and 28(18.67%) respectively. Abnormal CIC increased with declining schirmer’s, tear break up time values less than 10 seconds and increasing Rose Bengal staining. Thyroid ophthalmopathy and keratoconjunctivitis sicca were associated with severe while xerophthalmia was associated with mild cytological changes. Conclusion: Diagnostic tests when used in combination are more effective than when used alone in dry eye. CIC, a noninvasive and simple test can be used with other tests for the diagnosis and monitoring treatment of dry eye.

description: Late years have seen growing the discussion about artificial intelligence. Such a spread is related to the positive results in applying AI, for example in areas such as face and voice recognition. This second generation of AI was affected by three factors that played together and important role: 1) the availability of large amounts of data, 2) the increase of computational power, and 3) new statistical algorithms. Although what we call artificial intelligence seems to be an autonomous entity, we often forget that behind the curtain of machines there is always a human presence. It’s up to humans to shape artificial intelligence, even if such intelligence is hidden in a black box. The point of such a proposal is that AI, and more generally computation, doesn’t have to be unrelated to design. My definition of design is not formally restricted to graphic design only, especially today that the boundaries of disciplines are blurred more and more. Graphic design is a form of design and cannot be isolated avoiding synergies with other disciplines. Many graphic designers — or simply designers — have learned to draw with computers over the last few decades and some of them make the most of computer programming as a way to being creative. As the new generations are invited to study computer programming from a young age, some disciplines such as the digital humanities support scholars in developing technical skills to change their daily practice. My argument is that today designers are mature to learn computer programming at school, and that would benefit them greatly in terms of creativity and quality. Artificial intelligence, of course, can be one of the skills that a designer/coder can use by studying computer science. This concept was developed at the beginning of this century by John Maeda, who supported Ben Fry and Casey Reas to develop Processing, a library for computational graphic design. If the MIT Medialab is famous to anticipate new tendencies, twenty years after Processing is central for many designers. The distance that each one of us can feel in front of artificial intelligence can be seen as a lack of knowledge. But such a distance can be filled up by studying computer programming and practicing it. The question is not about discussing what artificial intelligence is, but rather practicing with it by writing code; this is the only way to learn and understand. This contribution is about demystifying that everyone is a stranger to programming. In particular, designers are not and they would enormously benefit from such a skill to reestablish control over the technology and employs new tools in their daily work.

description: Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) have gained considerable attention because of their novel properties and great potential applications. The flakes of TMDCs not only have great light absorptions from visible to near infrared, but also can be stacked together regardless of lattice mismatch like other two-dimensional (2D) materials. Along with the studies on intrinsic properties of TMDCs, the junctions based on TMDCs become more and more important in applications of photodetection. The junctions have shown many exciting possibilities to fully combine the advantages of TMDCs, other 2D materials, conventional and organic semiconductors together. Early studies have greatly enriched the application of TMDCs in photodetection. In this review, we investigate the efforts in photodetectors based on the junctions of TMDCs and analyze the properties of those photodetectors. Homojunctions based on TMDCs can be made by surface chemical doping, elemental doping and electrostatic gating. Heterojunction formed between TMDCs/2D materials, TMDCs/conventional semiconductors and TMDCs/organic semiconductor also deserve more attentions. We also compare the advantages and disadvantages of different junctions, and then give the prospects for the development of junctions based on TMDCs.

description: Node Importance Estimation (NIE) is a task of inferring importance scores of the nodes in a graph. Due to the availability of richer data and knowledge, recent research interests of NIE have been dedicating to knowledge graphs for predicting future or missing node importance scores. Existing state-of-the-art NIE methods train the model by available labels, and they consider every interested node equally before training. However, the nodes with higher importance often require or receive more attention in real-world scenarios, e.g., people may care more about the movies or webpages with higher importance. To this end, we introduce Label Informed ContrAstive Pretraining (LICAP) to the NIE problem for being better aware of the nodes with high importance scores. Specifically, LICAP is a novel type of contrastive learning framework that aims to fully utilize the continuous labels to generate contrastive samples for pretraining embeddings. Considering the NIE problem, LICAP adopts a novel sampling strategy called top nodes preferred hierarchical sampling to first group all interested nodes into a top bin and a non-top bin based on node importance scores, and then divide the nodes within top bin into several finer bins also based on the scores. The contrastive samples are generated from those bins, and are then used to pretrain node embeddings of knowledge graphs via a newly proposed Predicate-aware Graph Attention Networks (PreGAT), so as to better separate the top nodes from non-top nodes, and distinguish the top nodes within top bin by keeping the relative order among finer bins. Extensive experiments demonstrate that the LICAP pretrained embeddings can further boost the performance of existing NIE methods and achieve the new state-of-the-art performance regarding both regression and ranking metrics.

description: We present and analyze a Virtual Element Method (VEM) of arbitrary polynomial order $k\in\mathbb{N}$ for the Laplace-Beltrami equation on a surface in $\mathbb{R}^3$. The method combines the Surface Finite Element Method (SFEM) [Dziuk, Elliott, \emph{Finite element methods for surface PDEs}, 2013] and the recent VEM [Beirao da Veiga et al, \emph{Basic principles of Virtual Element Methods}, 2013] in order to handle arbitrary polygonal and/or nonconforming meshes. We account for the error arising from the geometry approximation and extend to surfaces the error estimates for the interpolation and projection in the virtual element function space. In the case $k=1$ of linear Virtual Elements, we prove an optimal $H^1$ error estimate for the numerical method. The presented method has the capability of handling the typically nonconforming meshes that arise when two ore more meshes are pasted along a straight line. Numerical experiments are provided to confirm the convergence result and to show an application of mesh pasting.

The legality of foreign military action against Islamic State in Syria
Creators: name: Al-Jbori, Mudhafar
Publisher: name: Macquarie University

Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) (also known as Da’esh) emerged in Iraq and Syria in 2013, adopting an extremely radical ideology and controlling a wide area of both the Iraqi and Syrian territories. The international community has unanimously agreed that ISIL represents an unprecedented threat to international peace and security. In October 2014, the President of the United States (US) announced the formation of an international coalition to defeat ISIL. The US-led coalition began its operations by conducting strikes in the Syrian territory. Meanwhile, the Russian air force and the Iranian Revolutionary Guard were the strongest supporters of the Assad regime in Syria. This project seeks to analyse the legal basis used to justify the use of foreign force against ISIL in Syria. The unsolicited armed action of foreign forces in Syria based on the invoked principle of self-defence as a justification is untenable in international law. The participants in the military operations in Syria have invoked different legal approaches to justify their operations. Many different questions have been raised concerning the legality of intervention with or without the consent of the Syrian government. The adoption of the self-defence principle according to Article 51 of the United Nations (UN) Charter does not provide a solid legal basis for intervention. As the international law does not give a clear answer on how to respond to armed attacks conducted by non-state actors emanating from foreign territories without the involvement of the state that harbours them. The language of the UN Security Council Resolution 2249 is controversial, as it does not explicitly authorise the use of force. The intervention by the Russian and Iranian forces, at Syria’s invitation, also faces certain legal challenges. The legality of interfering in a civil war, as well as an examination of the intervening states’ intentions and purposes, has exposed the difficulties that arise regarding respect for the fundamental principles of self-determination and intervention under international law. The ambiguity in the international law that is controlling the use of force, especially against non-state actors, as well as the lack of political consensus between the superpower states, reflects negatively on the endorsement of a mutual legal basis to eradicate the threat of ISIL and reduce the suffering of the Syrian people. As a matter of law, the consent of the Syrian Government is deemed crucial to legalise the use of force in its territory.

description: Introduction: Thygeson’s superficial punctate keratitis (TSPK) is a chronic, recurrent disorder affecting the anterior surface of the cornea. Common symptoms include photophobia, epiphora, pain and blurred vision. The management of TSPK is challenging, and long-term combined therapy is often required, namely steroids. We present a case of TSPK that was managed with a novel regenerative agent (RGTA) resulting in the symptomatic control of the condition. Methods: Observational case report. Case: A 25-year-old male patient with bilateral TSPK presented with ongoing symptoms of irritation, photophobia and foreign body sensation. Previous treatment included steroids, bandage contact lens, antibiotics and various lubricants. While steroids controlled his symptoms, he was concerned about side effects of long-term use and unwilling to persevere with treatment. He was intolerant to cyclosporin drops. As an alternative, he was started on regenerative agent poly (carboxymethylglucose sulphate) known as Cacicol™. Over weeks of treatment, his symptoms were documented using a pain and photophobia score, and improved considerably. The appearance of his corneal surface also improved although epithelial defects did not completely resolve. Discussion: Literature suggests that medical interventions do not modify the natural history of TSPK and therefore treatment should be aimed at achieving symptomatic relief. During treatment with RGTA, our patient’s symptomatic relief was striking. Although, RGTA may not modify the pathogenesis of TSPK, it appears to promote healing of epithelial defects and reduce associated pain, and there is evidence to suggest it may be a useful alternative therapy to control the symptoms of TSPK.
An assessment of the advantages and disadvantages of multidisciplinary models of care delivery in renal genetics clinics

description: The use of genetic testing in clinical practice has the potential to change the diagnostic landscape for patients with rare and inherited forms of kidney disease; multidisciplinary clinical models are proposed to support its adoption in clinical practice. However, there has been little investigation into the advantages and disadvantages of multidisciplinary models in renal genetics services. Additionally, the literature lacks information on the structures and workflows of renal multidisciplinary services which support the use of genetic medicine. Therefore, the aims of this thesis were: 1) to model the structure and workflows of multidisciplinary renal genetics clinics and 2) to investigate their advantages and disadvantages according to clinic team members. The research was conducted with clinical members of the renal genetics consortium, KidGen Collaborative. A literature review and an exploratory two-stage mixed methods design were employed, consisting of semi-structured interviews and an online survey. Process maps were used to define the clinical models and thematic coding and descriptive statistics were used to analyse the advantages and disadvantages. The most important advantages of the model to clinic team members were shared expertise, professional development and education and accurate communication across specialties. The perceived financial unsustainability of the model was the most prevalent concern to team members. The findings of this study are directly relevant to the KidGen Collaborative and other specialist clinical services seeking to implement genetic testing for the diagnosis of rare and inherited conditions.

description: Background and Objective: Retinal observation in immature infants is highly important to screen and evaluate the progression of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). Sharing the information with pediatricians and ophthalmologists is also important. Although video laryngoscopy is a tool for observation of the larynx to secure the airway, a recent study showed that it can visualize posterior fundi and allow diagnosis of shaken-baby syndrome even by pediatricians. Material and Methods: We evaluated the potential to observe the retinal periphery using video laryngoscopy in comparison with other imaging systems. Results: Video laryngoscopy can visualize avascular zones, ridges, and spots of photocoagulation. Conclusion: It is a good alternative for recording findings for the diagnosis of ROP.

description: In scientific literature, there are many programs that predict linear B-cell epitopes from a protein sequence. Each program generates multiple B-cell epitopes that can be individually studied. This paper defines a function called that combines results from five different prediction programs concerning the linear B-cell epitopes (ie., BebiPred, EPMLR, BCPred, ABCPred and Emini Prediction) for selecting the best B-cell epitopes. We obtained 17 potential linear B cells consensus epitopes from Glycoprotein E from serotype IV of the dengue virus for exploring new possibilities in vaccine development. The direct implication of the results obtained is to open the way to experimentally validate more epitopes to increase the efficiency of the available treatments against dengue and to explore the methodology in other diseases.

Composition Factors of Tensor Products of Symmetric Powers

description: We determine the composition factors of the tensor product $S(E)\otimes S(E)$ of two copies of the symmetric algebra of the natural module $E$ of a general linear group over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic. Our main result may be regarded as a substantial generalisation of the tensor product theorem of Krop and Sullivan, on composition factors of $S(E)$. We earlier answered the question of which polynomially injective modules are infinitesimally injective in terms of the "divisibility index". We are now able to give an explicit description of the divisibility index for polynomial modules for general linear groups of degree at most $3$.
Identifying the women of Early Dynastic Egypt: an analysis of the women’s funerary stelae/slabs from Abu Rawash, Helwan, and Abydos

description: The study of women’s historiography worldwide, historically, was largely neglected until the feminist movement advocated for the inclusion of women’s contributions to world history. The inclusion of ‘women and gender’ studies in Egyptology commenced in the late 1980’s, however, the predominance of literature pertains to the Pharaonic period. To date, little concentrated analysis dedicated to the women of Early Dynastic period (3150 – 2890 BC) has been undertaken. The thesis investigates the roles of the women in the early Egyptian society, through the examination of the biographic details recorded on their funerary monuments. The multi-disciplinary investigation combines a textual, and a new sociological approach, to the women’s titles recovered from the cemeteries of Abydos, Abu Rawash and Helwan. The evaluation into the previous scholarship regarding the titles uncovers androcentric characterisation of the women as concubines associated with the harem, which has masked the women’s participation in the society. The textual analysis re-evaluates the titles objectively and situates the women’s involvement contextually, providing new insight into the society of Early Dynastic Egypt. The study offers an anthology of the women’s Early Dynastic stelae that provides a framework for the developments and changes to women’s roles throughout the different period of Egyptian history.
Supersymmetry Across the Light and Heavy-Light Hadronic Spectrum II

description: We extend our analysis of the implications of hadronic supersymmetry for heavy-light hadrons in light-front holographic QCD. Although conformal symmetry is strongly broken by the heavy quark mass, supersymmetry and the holographic embedding of semiclassical light-front dynamics derived from five-dimensional anti-de Sitter (AdS) space nevertheless determines the form of the confining potential in the light-front Hamiltonian to be harmonic. The resulting light-front bound-state equations lead to a heavy-light Regge-like spectrum for both mesons and baryons. The confinement hadron mass scale and their Regge slopes depend, however, on the mass of the heavy quark in the meson or baryon as expected from Heavy Quark Effective Theory (HQET). This procedure reproduces the observed spectra of heavy-light hadrons with good precision and makes predictions for yet unobserved states.

Singing teachers and the development of young voices
Creators: name: Pecina, Kelly

Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: The method of teaching singing has long been based on the master-apprentice model and oral tradition. Historically, teachers applied methods sourced from their own learning experience, and the focus was primarily on producing beautiful sound. More recently, with the introduction of scientific advancements and an acknowledgment of the stages in adolescent vocal development, the role of the singing teacher is becoming increasing more multifaceted and holistic. The aim of this explorative study was to investigate the singing teacher’s role in the development of young voices. To guide this inquiry, a structured interview of nine singing teachers was conducted, in which the participants responded to questions pertaining to their teaching methods, feedback methods, pedagogical orientation and teacher-student relationships. The results highlighted three key influences of the singing teacher on the development of young voices. These included the need for adaptation in response to the individual, creating an individual learner through the use of student-led and technological feedback, and establishing a safe learning environment. The outcomes achieved from this research have teaching implications not only for the private singing teacher in regard to enhanced teaching methods, but may also extend to the primary and secondary school sector in the delivery of vocal programs within the classroom setting. Additional benefits include improved professional development courses for teachers, pre-service education students, as well as pedagogical content in tertiary courses. Future research stemming from this study could include a more in-depth analysis of the term vocal development, or an investigation into the teaching methods utilised by online singing teachers.

description: Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate differences in pupil size of subjects with diabetes mellitus, age-related macular degeneration and retinal vein occlusion at different illumination levels with a novel pupilometer. Methods: The pupil size of study participants was measured with an infrared-video pupillometer (PupilX, Albomed) at 5 different illumination levels (0, 0.5, 4, 32 and 250 lux). Measurements were performed by the same investigator. 90 images were executed during a measurement period of 3 seconds. Results: This cross-sectional study analysed 484 eyes of 242 patients with diabetes mellitus (DM), age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and retinal vein occlusion (RVO); mean age 73.8 ± 12 years, range 45-92 years. A healthy control group had 342 eyes, mean age 61.4 ± 12.5 years, range 40-87 years. There was a statistically significant smaller pupil size at the DM-group in comparison to AMD, RVO and control group at all illumination levels, except 250 lux (p=0.041, Kruskal Wallis test). There was no statistically significant difference in pupil size of RVO and AMD in comparison to the control group. Conclusion: This study provides comparative data for pupil size at different retinal diseases at different illumination conditions measured with PupilX. Pupil size in diabetic patients was significantly smaller at scotopic and mesopic illuminance conditions. Therefore we confirm using pupillometry as a noninvasive and simple tool for additive detection of autonomic dysfunction in diabetes mellitus.

description: In this article, we study the behaviour of a looped string launched in ambient air using motorised wheels. We show that the loop, once it reaches its stationary state, is either in the pulley or the air-lifted state. The transition between these two distinct states occurs at the so-called takeoff speed. We prove that this speed differs from one string to another based on its characteristics. However, it is independent from the loop's length and its initial launch angle. This speed indeed corresponds to the threshold where air drag starts compensating for the weight of the string.

description: In the framework of quantum thermodynamics, we propose a method to quantitatively describe thermodynamic quantities for out-of-equilibrium interacting many-body systems. The method is articulated in various approximation protocols which allow to achieve increasing levels of accuracy, it is relatively simple to implement even for medium and large number of interactive particles, and uses tools and concepts from density functional theory. We test the method on the driven Hubbard dimer at half filling, and compare exact and approximate results. We show that the proposed method reproduces the average quantum work to high accuracy: for a very large region of parameter space (which cuts across all dynamical regimes) estimates are within 10% of the exact results.
