description: Passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) is a sampling technique that has gained increasing popularity in the field of wildlife monitoring and research since it allows for non-invasive and cost-effective collection of acoustic information. Retrieving biological information from PAM recordings can often involve time-consuming sound annotation methodologies, but the advent of acoustic indices can help expedite this process. While correlations between acoustic indices and species richness have been observed in a variety of ecological contexts, these relationships faulter in environments with increased vehicular noise. Here, we assessed the direct impact of vehicular noise on nine acoustic indices through controlled manipulation of vehicular noise within computer-generated bird assemblage soundscapes. Our results demonstrate that recording distance from roadsides and number of passing cars per minute have notable and persistent impacts on acoustic index values, but the magnitude of the effect varies across indices. Four acoustic indices demonstrated greater resilience to vehicular noise interference and may therefore be better suited for developed areas: Bioacoustic Index, Acoustic Complexity Index, Acoustic Diversity Index, and Acoustic Evenness Index. By contributing to the collective understanding of acoustic index behaviours under anthropogenic noise pollution, we hope to better inform their ecological application in human-developed contexts.

description: Εισαγωγή: Η συνεχής εξέλιξη της τεχνολογίας έχει ανοίξει νέους ορίζοντες για τη βιομηχανία του αυτοκινήτου, αναδεικνύοντας τη σημασία της ψηφιακής μετασχηματιστικής διαδικασίας. Το SAP αποτελεί ένα τέτοιο σύστημα ενδοεπιχειρησιακής οργάνωσης, το οποίο επιτρέπει την ενοποίηση όλων των επιχειρησιακών δεδομένων και διαδικασιών σε μια ενιαία πλατφόρμα. Η αξιοποίηση του συστήματος SAP στην αυτοκινητοβιομηχανία προσφέρει ένα ευρύ φάσμα πλεονεκτημάτων, καθιστώντας το ένα από τα πιο ισχυρά εργαλεία για την ενίσχυση της αποδοτικότητας, της ευελιξίας και της ανταγωνιστικότητας στον κλάδο. Ειδικότερα, περιλαμβάνει τη διαχείριση των πελατών και του δικτύου διανομής, ενώ η αυτοματοποίηση ως χαρακτηριστικό του, μπορεί να διασφαλίσει την ασφάλεια της παραγωγικής διαδικασίας, στοιχείο που ειδικά για τον τομέα της αυτοκινητοβιομηχανίας είναι κρίσιμο. Σκοπός: Σκοπός της παρούσας εργασίας είναι να διερευνήσει τους τρόπους εφαρμογής του πληροφοριακού συστήματος SAP στον κλάδο της αυτοκινητοβιομηχανίας, για αυτό εστιάζει στη διαδικασία υλοποίησής του, στα οφέλη και στα μειονεκτήματά του. Μεθοδολογία: Η μεθοδολογία που αξιοποίησε η παρούσα μελέτη είναι αυτή της βιβλιογραφικής ανασκόπησης, γιατί επιτρέπει στον ερευνητή να έχει πρόσβαση σε μια πληθώρα διεθνών και εγχώριων επιστημονικών άρθρων και μελετών. Έτσι, μέσα από τη μελέτη των μελετών που ανταποκρίνονται στο θέμα της εργασίας του, μπορεί να την καταστήσει πιο αντικειμενική και πλήρης ως προς το περιεχόμενό της. Συμπεράσματα: Η υιοθέτηση του συστήματος SAP συνεπάγεται διάφορα οφέλη στον κλάδο της αυτοκινητοβιομηχανίας, καθώς συμβάλλει στην αποτελεσματική διαχείριση του συστήματος εφοδιασμού. Ωστόσο, το σύστημα αυτό μπορεί να βελτιστοποιηθεί μέσα από την ενσωμάτωση καινοτόμων τεχνολογιών, όπως το IoT, καθώς και μέσα από την επιτέλεση συγκριτικών αναλύσεων των αποτελεσμάτων του στον κλάδο της αυτοκινητοβιομηχανίας. Σε συνδυασμό με την αυτοματοποίηση, το SAP θα πρέπει να μπορεί να συμβάλλει στην κατεύθυνση των επιχειρήσεων στον τομέα της αυτοκινητοβιομηχανίας προς τη βιώσιμη ανάπτυξη, για αυτό και κάθε περαιτέρω έρευνα κρίνεται σημαντική.
Advance care planning conversations: the family perspective
Creators: name: Kruthaup, Alexandra L.

description: The course of endstage renal disease (ESRD) and receiving hemodialysis (HD) treatment is complex and filled with uncertainty. Part of this illness experience includes making end-of-life (EOL) care decisions. Many families are unprepared to make such decisions. Advance care planning (ACP) creates an excellent context for laying the groundwork for these emotionally charged conversations. Hemodialysis patients, their families and healthcare providers (HCPs) are in a unique position to begin the ACP process early in the illness trajectory, revisiting it when the patient’s health status, prognosis and treatment modality changes. To date, little research has focused directly on how families experience ACP conversations in the context of ESRD or HD. The purpose of this study was to explore family members’ experiences of participating in a facilitated ACP conversation with the HD patient. This approach recognizes and privileges the family’s role in the illness trajectory of ESRD and validates that they too are HCPs’ clients. Five families, consisting of the HD patient and one family member, who went through the ACP process were interviewed along with an ACP facilitator from the nephrology program. This focused ethnographic study applied the theoretical perspective of postmodernist critical theory to derive and analyze data from in-depth semi-structured interviews. Findings revealed a detailed description of the ACP process that included timing, readiness to acknowledge the potentiality of death, facing mortality, and finding meaning in the illness experience. As families started to deconstruct their experiences, they shared stories of communication breakdown, highlighting the complexities of their relationships with HCPs. Understanding the factors that potentially contribute to HD patients’, their families’ and the renal staff’s discomfort with death were analyzed. The study findings provide important direction for HCPs about how families make ACP decisions, how they perceive the ACP process, and what they identify as their EOL care needs and wishes. Failure to implement ACP as part of an EOL care program means that death will continue to be denied and clients’ EOL care needs will remain un-addressed. In order for ACP to be effective on HD units, sustainable resources are essential for patients, their families and HCPs.

description: Το ανθρώπινο μικροβίωμα, το οποίο περιλαμβάνει τρισεκατομμύρια μικροοργανισμούς, επηρεάζει σημαντικά την υγεία και τη σωστή λειτουργία του ανθρώπινου οργανισμού. Σε περιόδους ορόσημα, όπως η περιγεννητική περίοδος, το μικροβίωμα υπόκειται σε δραστικές αλλαγές, οι οποίες διαδραματίζουν καθοριστικό ρόλο στην μετέπειτα υγεία και ζωή του ατόμου. Ο καπνός του τσιγάρου και η έκθεση σε αυτόν είναι γνωστά για τη δυσμενή τους επίδραση στην υγεία του ανθρώπου και ειδικά κατά την περίοδο της εγκυμοσύνης. Παρόλα αυτά η επίδρασή του στο ανθρώπινο μικροβίωμα έχει μελετηθεί ελάχιστα. Στη συγκεκριμένη μελέτη διεξήγαμε μια Συστηματική Ανασκόπηση με σκοπό τη συγκέντρωση των ευρημάτων σχετικά με την περιγεννητική έκθεση στον καπνό του τσιγάρου και τις επιπτώσεις της στο εντερικό μικροβίωμα της μητέρας και του απογόνου. Πραγματοποιήσαμε μια εμπεριστατωμένη βιβλιογραφική αναζήτηση στις βάσεις δεδομένων PubMed, Scopus, και Web of Science. Η αναζήτηση αυτή αφορούσε μελέτες που έχουν δημοσιευτεί το διάστημα μεταξύ Ιανουαρίου του 2000 και Φεβρουαρίου του 2024. Οι μελέτες που αναλύσαμε επιλέχθηκαν με συγκεκριμένα κριτήρια εισαγωγής. Η συστηματική ανασκόπηση συμπεριέλαβε οχτώ μελέτες, οι οποίες κατέδειξαν ποικίλες επιπτώσεις της περιγεννητικής έκθεσης στον καπνό του τσιγάρου στο μικροβίωμα της μητέρας και του παιδιού. Το κάπνισμα κατά τη διάρκεια της κύησης προκάλεσε μεταβολές στη σύνθεση του μικροβιώματος του νεογνού και σχετίστηκε με αύξηση της αφθονίας των Firmicutes και μειωμένη αφθονία Akkermansia municiphila. Επιπρόσθετα, η δευτερογενής και τριτογενής έκθεση στον καπνό του τσιγάρου επηρέασε την ποικιλομορφία του μικροβιώματος νεογνών σε μονάδες εντατικής θεραπείας (ΜΕΝΝ). Οι απόγονοι που εκτέθηκαν σε καπνό παρουσίασαν ένα πλήθος μικροβιακών αλλαγών, οι οποίες καταδεικνύουν πιθανές μελλοντικές επιπλοκές στην υγεία των ατόμων αυτών, όπως για παράδειγμα αυξημένη πιθανότητα παχυσαρκίας. Η περιγεννητική έκθεση στον καπνό του τσιγάρου εγείρει καθοριστικές αλλαγές στο μητρικό και νεογνικό μικροβίωμα, με πιθανές δυσμενείς επιδράσεις σε βάθος χρόνου στην υγεία των ατόμων αυτών. Συνυπολογίζοντας κοινωνικοοικονομικούς και ψυχολογικούς παράγοντες η διακοπή του καπνίσματος, η λήψη αυστηρών μέτρων κατά του τσιγάρου και η προαγωγή της δημόσιας υγείας με μεγάλες αντικαπνιστικές εκστρατείες αποτελούν βασικά βήματα στην αντιμετώπιση των σχετικών με τον καπνό επιπτώσεων κατά την περιγεννητική περίοδο. Κρίνεται αναγκαία η περαιτέρω διερεύνηση του θέματος για την επιβεβαίωση των αποτελεσμάτων της παρούσης, καθώς και την ανάπτυξη αποτελεσματικών προληπτικών μέτρων.

title: Breaking the curse: retelling a folk fairy tale to explore trauma and healing in novels for young people
Creators: name: Hollingsworth, A
Publisher: name: Bath Spa University
Year: 2024

description: This practice-based research asks how the folk fairy tale might be used to explore themes of trauma and healing in writing for young people. My novel, The Wasting Curse, is a young adult retelling of the folk fairy tale ‘Kate Crackernuts.’ By finding gaps in the original tale, I use my retelling to introduce and explore interrelation and intergenerational trauma. I aim to assist young readers in understanding their own struggles, and to that end I also narratively explore the complexities of healing and hope.
This thesis also includes a piece of contextual research. Its four sections mirror the key elements of my novel: the folk fairy tale, trauma, dissociation, and healing. I examine these topics in light of both scientific studies and recent examples drawn from young adult reworkings of old folk or fairy tales. Existing young adult literature often dramatizes trauma without accounting for its weight or outcomes, which I have tried to address in my own writing. My methodology draws heavily on autoethnography, with influences from my personal history as a young person who experienced trauma and found release in folk fairy tales. 
‘Chapter One: Uncover’ introduces the concept of the folk fairy tale and the trauma that already exists in the stories we tell. ‘Chapter Two: Name’ narrows the types of trauma focused on in this research. ‘Chapter Three: Inhabit’ highlights dissociation and the ways it can be used and misused in stories, with a particular focus on the importance of traumatized characters finding safety in their own bodies. Finally, ‘Chapter Four: Mend’ covers the tricky subject of healing. This chapter questions the trope of ‘happily ever after,’ and discusses the importance of an ending that is both realistic and hopeful. 
My research is founded on the principle that fictional representations of trauma and healing can have a powerful impact on young readers. I offer this thesis in the hope that the methods I have developed will be useful to other writers and scholars.

description: Limited evidence exists to help understand the experiences of university students in relation to the long-term lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic. For that reason, we conducted a study using a phenomenographic approach in order to understand how university students perceive COVID-19 and the associated lockdown. Data were collected from 25 students in Pakistan. They were asked to demonstrate the psychological effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown in illustrations. In addition, in-depth interviews were conducted with these students, to gain further insights into their perspectives on the psychosocial effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. The analysis revealed four interlinked directions for understanding students' experiences. These themes were: 1) escape into peace, 2) hope for personal freedom, 3) fear of becoming a victim of COVID-19, and 4) concerns regarding education, future career, and opportunities. All four themes were analyzed and condensed into an outcome space, which further gathers the perceptions of students under one theme as "Hope for life while paradoxically living with fear". Studying the psychological impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown on students not only highlighted their concerns, but also emphasized the importance of starting regular psychological evaluations and stress-releasing sessions, along with online education to overcome growing depression.

description: Background Fungi play a key role in several important ecological functions, ranging from organic matter decomposition to symbiotic associations with plants. Moreover, fungi naturally inhabit the human body and can be beneficial when administered as probiotics. In mycology, the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region was adopted as the universal marker for classifying fungi. Hence, an accurate and robust method for ITS classification is not only desired for the purpose of better diversity estimation, but it can also help us gain a deeper insight into the dynamics of environmental communities and ultimately comprehend whether the abundance of certain species correlate with health and disease. Although many methods have been proposed for taxonomic classification, to the best of our knowledge, none of them fully explore the taxonomic tree hierarchy when building their models. This in turn, leads to lower generalization power and higher risk of committing classification errors. Results Here we introduce HiTaC, a robust hierarchical machine learning model for accurate ITS classification, which requires a small amount of data for training and can handle imbalanced datasets. HiTaC was thoroughly evaluated with the established TAXXI benchmark and could correctly classify fungal ITS sequences of varying lengths and a range of identity differences between the training and test data. HiTaC outperforms state-of-the-art methods when trained over noisy data, consistently achieving higher F1-score and sensitivity across different taxonomic ranks, improving sensitivity by 6.9 percentage points over top methods in the most noisy dataset available on TAXXI. Conclusions HiTaC is publicly available at the Python package index, BIOCONDA and Docker Hub. It is released under the new BSD license, allowing free use in academia and industry. Source code and documentation, which includes installation and usage instructions, are available at https://gitlab.com/dacs-hpi/hitac.

description: Revolving around the gap between the emic judgement that corruption cannot be eliminated and the etic attempts to bring this elimination about, this paper looks at the ontological preconditions of Luo politics in western Kenya and the way in which these render both the objective measurement and the eradication of corruption impossible. By taking the statements of people on the ground seriously, the paper aims to expose the Eurocentric mind-set that lies at the heart of most discourses on corruption. Unless we expect the Luo to change the way in which they conceptualize sociality, our only course is to embrace corrupt behaviour—which goes to prove that cooperation is sometimes obliged to follow rather curious paths.

Beyond the public-private binary: cooperatives as alternative water governance models
Creators: name: Moccia, Suzanne
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: This thesis examines the concept of water cooperatives as an alternative model to create access, supply and manage water services in poor urban and peri urban areas. Two case studies from the Municipality of Moreno, Buenos Aires are presented in this thesis in order to account for the feasibility of the model. The primary data for this research is derived from participant observation, key informant interviews, household questionnaire-based interviews and archival research. The significance of researching water cooperatives is that they have traditionally been dismissed in regard to their potential of being a practical alternative to large water concessions and public run water services in the Global South. Research on alternatives such as water cooperatives is key, particularly in the face of growing de-privatization in the water sector in the province of Buenos Aires. The Buenos Aires Metropolitan Area is an important case study for research on water governance because it was intended to be the World Banks model for which other countries would strive to emulate when reforming and improving water services by means of private concessions. The first part of the thesis examines the political and social history of water cooperatives in Argentina and the effects of privatization on the cooperative model. The second part outlines the theoretical advantages and disadvantages of the governance model and positions these theories against the realities of an existing water cooperative and a poor peri-urban community that has a strong affinity for implementing the model in their community. The two case studies presented in this thesis help to elucidate why the water governance model is able to serve poor peri-urban communities that otherwise remain unserviced by the traditional public or private water governance models. This is significant if we are earnest about providing water and sanitation services to all.
Sense of coherence and religion/spirituality: A systematic review and meta-analysis based on a methodical classification of instruments measuring religion/spirituality

description: The coherence hypothesis assumes that sense of coherence (SOC) explains the positive link between religion/spirituality (R/S) and mental health. The aim of our meta-analysis is to evaluate the evidence for the association between SOC (sensu Antonovsky) and different aspects of R/S and thus to contribute to the verification of the coherence hypothesis. Eighty-nine English- and German-language primarily cross-sectional studies with 67,913 participants met the inclusion criteria. The R/S scales of all included studies were subjected to item-by-item qualitative content analysis in order to determine whether scales do actually measure religion or spirituality and which R/S aspects dominated the instrument. Based on this classification, overall and subgroup meta-analyses were conducted using a random effects model. The adjusted effect size between SOC and all positive R/S measures was r+ = .120, 95% CI [.092, .149]. Particularly significant (r+ < -.180 or > .180) were correlations with negative R/S scales (r+ = -.405, 95% CI [-.476, -.333]), R/S instruments measuring primarily positive emotions (r+ = .212, 95% CI [.170, .253]) or meaning-making (r+ = .196, 95% CI [.126, .265]). Both sample characteristics (age, culture, gender, health status, religious affiliation) and study characteristics (e.g., publication year) had a moderating effect on the R/S-SOC connection. The correlation was particularly high in studies from Southern Asia (r+ = .226, 95% CI [.156, .297]), the African Islamic cultural value zone (r+ = .196, 95% CI [.106, .285]), and in a small subgroup of Iranian studies (r+ = .194, 95% CI [.117, .271]). The results confirm that R/S and SOC are clearly associated and suggest that there are different religious/spiritual pathways to a strong SOC. The strength of the associations presumably depends not only on individual differences, but also on cultural embeddedness and social plausibility of R/S.

description: This paper describes a novel approach to semantic system and security modelling developed in the SERSCIS project. The approach is designed to address dynamic multistakeholder systems that are composed from services at run-time. This presents several challenges for security risk modelling and management that are not well addressed by previous work. The biggest challenge is the fact that at design-time one only knows the structure but not the composition of the system, forcing an abstract modelling approach to be used. The SERSCIS approach deals with this by defining a set of OWL classes describing generic system assets, threats and security controls and the relationships between them. This dependability model captures security expertise concerning the types of threats that can arise in general and the controls that can be used to address them. An abstract system model can then be created using OWL subclasses, to capture the types of assets and their relationships in a specific system, but still without specifying how many assets, where they are deployed or what security controls they have. The resulting models can be used as inputs to run-time semantic monitoring tools, where the knowledge encoded in the abstract system model is used to automatically determine system threat activity and system vulnerabilities. The approach was validated in an Airport Collaborative Decision-Making scenario.

description: Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) has its highest prevalence among women of childbearing age and therefore frequently coincides with pregnancy. This retrospective cohort study aimed to explore the impact of pregnancy on the clinical course, ophthalmologic findings and on the therapeutic management of IIH patients. Individual patient records were reviewed for neuro-ophthalmologic findings, treatment strategy, adherence to therapy and pregnancy complications. Sixteen patients with 19 documented pregnancies were identified. The visual acuity, visual field defects and the grade of papilledema at baseline and after pregnancy were compared. The visual acuity and visual field mean deviation at baseline and at follow-up after pregnancy did not significantly differ. Papilledema at baseline was more pronounced in patients who had been diagnosed with IIH during pregnancy than in patients with established IIH. In this cohort, the visual acuity and the visual field were not lastingly impacted by pregnancy. The adherence to therapy was low, with 69% discontinuing treatment or medication.

Presidential signing statements as legislative strategy and the expansion of presidential power: an examination of the Bush II administration
Creators: name: Thomson, Michael G.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: This article explores the use of presidential signing statements during the George W. Bush administration. Given the existence of united government for much of Bush's term in office, why could the Bush administration and Congress not reach agreements on issues where much common ground should have existed? Its principal argument contends that the administration's use of presidential signing statements constitutes a new and important tool in the executive's efforts to influence legislation and expand the powers of the presidency. The paper employs case study and interview-based research to explore why the Bush administration has chosen to pursue this unprecedented path.

description: Gestational diabetes (GDM) is a frequent complication during pregnancy. We aimed to develop a score to predict future insulin dependency in gestational diabetes (GDM). Data from 1611 patients from Charite Berlins gestational diabetes clinic from 2015 to 2022 were utilized. A stepwise backwards regression, including patient characteristics obtained at the initial presentation, was performed. Predictors examined included age, fasting blood glucose level, blood glucose levels one and two hours after oral glucose tolerance test, pre-pregnancy BMI, number of previous pregnancies and births, and fetal sex. The ideal cutoff value between high and low risk for insulin dependency was assessed and the score was internally validated. There were 1249 (77.5%) women diagnosed with dietary GDM and 362 (22.5%) were diagnosed with insulin-dependent GDM. The CHarite AssessmeNt of GEstational Diabetes (CHANGED) Score achieved an area under the curve of 0.77 (95% confidence interval 0.75-0.80; 0.75 in internal validation). The optimal cutoff value was calculated at a score value of 9 (72% sensitivity, 69% specificity). We developed an easily applicable tool to accurately predict insulin dependency in gestational diabetes. The CHANGED Score is routinely available and can potentially improve maternal and fetal outcomes.
How much a dollar cost: Currency hierarchy as a driver of ecologically unequal exchange

description: Asymmetric transfers of biophysical resources from the Global South to the North are a key obstacle to sustainable development. The underlying causal drivers of this ‘ecologically unequal exchange’ are not well understood. This paper accounts for the causal role of hierarchy between currencies as one driver of ecologically unequal exchange. Drawing on dependency theory, I propose testable hypotheses that explain why countries that issue internationally acceptable currencies create net inflows of embodied labour, land, energy, raw materials, and carbon from countries whose currencies lack international acceptability: Countries with lower-ranking currencies face higher interest rates, which constrain their policy space, drive income outflows, and necessitate resource exports. Such countries also tend to have lower price levels (measured as the ratio between exchange rates and purchasing power parity rates) because their currencies are not demanded internationally, resulting in reduced dollar income per exported resource. To test these hypotheses, I use a novel categorical operationalization of currency hierarchy. I compare different observable correlations to the theoretical correlations implied by the proposed hypotheses, and test multiple regression models against cross-country data. Overall, the results are consistent with the hypotheses. Considering alternative explanations, the conclusion seems justified that currency hierarchy is a significant driver of ecologically unequal exchange, and that this mechanism operates specifically through cross-country divergences in interest rates and exchange rates. In short, the monetary cost of a dollar impacts the biophysical cost of a dollar.

description: Renewable and sustainable energies are vital for the near future. Hydrogen, as a clean energy carrier, is a potential candidate for supplying energy in the foreseeable future. Nowadays, hydrogen storage technology has become a significant issue in the energy sector. In this study, ZnCo2O4/ZnO and MgCo2O4/MgO nanocomposites have been synthesized using the sol-gel method with stearic acid as a complexing agent. Different analyses were studied to examine the crystal structure, morphology, and physical properties of the as-prepared samples, including X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transforms infrared (FT-IR), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). Various methods have been utilized for hydrogen storage technology. In a pioneering approach, the electrochemical hydrogen storage of samples was compared by the chronopotentiometry technique in KOH (4 M) electrolyte solution. The results reveal that ZnCo2O4/ZnO and MgCo2O4/MgO nanocomposites exhibit excellent discharge capacities of 4240 and 3529 mAh/g, respectively, after 11 cycles.
