description: Background: Understanding of the role of children in COVID-19 transmission has significant implications for school and childcare policies, as well as appropriate targeting of vaccine campaigns. The objective of this systematic review was to identify the role of children in SARS-CoV-2 transmission to other children and adults. Methods MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and Web of Science were electronically searched for articles published before March 31, 2021. Studies of child-to-child and child-to-adult transmission and quantified the incidence of index and resulting secondary attack rates of children and adults in schools, households, and other congregate pediatric settings were identified. All articles describing confirmed transmission of SARS-CoV-2 from a child were included. PRISMA guidelines for data abstraction were followed, with each step conducted by two reviewers. Results 40 of 6110 articles identified met inclusion criteria. Overall, there were 0.8 secondary cases per primary index case, with a secondary attack rate of 8.4% among known contacts. The secondary attack rate was 26.4% among adult contacts versus 5.7% amongst child contacts. The pooled estimate of a contact of a pediatric index case being infected as secondary case was 0.10 (95% CI 0.03-0.25). Conclusions Children transmit COVID-19 at a lower rate to children than to adults. Household adults are at highest risk of transmission from an infected child, more so than adults or children in other settings.

description: The use of e-cigarettes (vaping) among Indigenous youth is much higher than that of their non-Indigenous counterparts, which has raised the concerns of various Indigenous scholars and communities. To better understand the most salient constructs that influence Indigenous youth decision-making around vaping, we co-created a qualitative research study with a Syilx First Nation community that was guided by the Unified Theory of Behavior (UTB). Methods Through semi-structured interviews and a sharing circle, we gathered the perspectives and experiences of 16 Syilx youth in British Columbia, Canada. After an initial collaborative coding and training session, the interviews were transcribed and coded by Indigenous peer researchers using Nvivo. Through both directed and conventional qualitative content analysis methods, the final conceptual framework was collaboratively developed. Results Syilx youth reported that vaping decision-making is underpinned by colonialism, and the historical disproportionate impact of the tobacco industry. The youth spoke to several individual determinants that influence intentions to vape (e.g., vaping helps you cope) and to not vape (e.g., family and community connectedness), and determinants that translate intentions to vape to decision to vape (e.g., access to vaping), and to not vape (e.g., access to trusted adults and support from the band). The youth suggested that prevention efforts must be informed by an understanding of why Indigenous youth vape and what strengthens their resolve to not vape. Conclusions Vaping decision-making among Indigenous youth is underpinned by their cultures, contexts, and histories. To effectively address vaping among Indigenous youth, continued engagement of Indigenous youth in planning, developing, implementing, and evaluating both prevention and policies efforts is a necessity.

description: The Schengen Agreement, often heralded as a cornerstone of European integration, has been integral to fostering free movement within the EU. However, recent challenges have placed this fundamental principle under strain. Germany’s reintroduction of border controls under Article 25 of the Schengen Borders Code (SBC) reflects growing tensions between national security priorities and EU commitments to open borders. It is not the first infringement on Schengen rules but just the latest. This decision coincides with heightened political pressures ahead of Germany’s snap elections in February 2024, amplifying its significance within both national and EU-wide debates. This blogpost examines the legal framework governing such border measures, analyzes the implications for Schengen’s future, and explores potential policy shifts following the elections. Relevant case studies illustrate how Germany’s actions fit into broader European trends, highlighting the precarious balance between national sovereignty and collective EU principles.

description: Het Netwerk Digitaal Erfgoed (NDE) werkt, als samenwerkingsverband van Nederlandse erfgoedinstellingen, aan het beter vindbaar maken van erfgoedinformatie. Naar schatting ruim 2000 erfgoedinstellingen in Nederland publiceren digitale informatie over hun collecties. Het vinden van de beschikbare informatie over meerdere instellingen heen is echter voor veel gebruikers een lastige opgave. Om die reden werkt NDE aan diensten die het samenbrengen van verspreide erfgoedinformatie eenvoudiger maakt. Een van deze diensten is het Termennetwerk. Het Termennetwerk helpt om bij het beschrijven van erfgoedobjecten snel de juiste gestandaardiseerde definitie te vinden voor bijvoorbeeld personen of onderwerpen. Door gebruik van deze gestandaardiseerde termen kan informatie beter met elkaar verbonden worden. Zeker wanneer de informatie ook nog als Linked Data beschikbaar gemaakt wordt. In tegenstelling tot bestaande vergelijkbare oplossingen zoekt het Termennetwerk realtime in meerdere terminologiebronnen. De zoekresultaten worden geharmoniseerd en teruggegeven via een standaard beschrijvingsformaat (SKOS) en zoekinterface (GraphQL). Ook de koppeling met de terminologiebronnen verloopt via een standaard zoektaal (SPARQL) waardoor elke bron, die dit Linked Data protocol ondersteunt, koppelbaar is. In de presentatie wordt uitgebreid ingegaan op de functionaliteit van het Termennetwerk en de mogelijkheden om deze open source software ook voor andere informatiedomeinen in te zetten.

description: Using straw and herbaceous crops to replace or augment fossil fuels is becoming popular as access to forest biomass becomes environmentally stricter and more expensive. The low bulk density raw biomass is pre-processed and densified into pellets to facilitate handling and use. Dust is generated during collection, baling and debaling, grinding, drying, and densifying processed herbaceous biomass. Abundant literature deals with dust generated during the industrial handling of woody biomass, grains, and other crops like cotton. But the information on handling herbaceous biomass in the open literature is scarce. This paper reviews the available literature on dust generation from handling and processing of herbaceous biomass. Limited available data shows that herbaceous biomass species have a lower ignition temperature than woody biomass. The paper identifies several crucial pieces of information needed to ensure safety in the handling and pelleting of herbaceous crops.

description: This paper is ultimately going to tell a story of the limitation of scholarly activities in Kashmir in the field of Sanskrit grammar— how a multifaceted Sanskrit linguistic tradition of Kashmir came to be limited to a particular school of grammar called the Kātantra, which was, in many respects, inferior to certain other grammatical traditions, the foremost of which is the Paninian grammar. There is no doubt that the Paninian school is the longest, most influential, elaborate, sophisticated and elegant Sanskrit grammar. Some of the most important authors from this school were from Kashmir where this grammar had been flourishing since no later than the seventh century. The Kātantra grammar began its journey most probably in South India sometime between the first and the fourth century and it came to Kashmir sometime around the tenth century. Throughout the medieval period when Sanskrit scholarship was declining in Kashmir, the Kātantra tradition kept its presence in the valley and in the twentieth century, just before when indigenous Sanskrit learning finally disappeared from Kashmir, the Kātantra grammar was almost exclusively taught in the traditional Sanskrit schools of Srinagar and the Paninian grammar was no longer in vogue. In this paper, I want to give an account of the development of the grammatical school of Kātantra in Kashmir which survived through the decline of Sanskrit scholarship and ultimately replaced the other grammars, most importantly the Paninian one, which had maintained an impressive presence in the valley.

description: This dissertation presents a theorisation of videogame atmosphere from a phenomenological perspective. Atmosphere and atmospheric attunements are taken to be fundamental phenomena which come before any other type of 'immersion' into gameworlds. The dissertation explains how atmospheres are liminal phenomena originating between subjects and objects. By considering atmosphere, we are able to explain what enables different states of immersion such as kinaesthetic, spatial, empathic, rhetorical immersion, as well as immersion into different genres. This dissertation therefore enables for a deeper understanding of debates on immersiveness and provides a useful resource for designers interested in creating atmospheric games.

description: Background: Individuals with bipolar disorder (BD) are increasingly turning to smartphone applications (apps) for health information and self-management support. While reviews have raised concerns regarding the effectiveness and safety of publicly available apps for BD, apps surveyed may not reflect what individuals with BD are using. The present study had two aims: first, to characterize the use of health apps to support mood and sleep amongst people with BD, and second, to evaluate the quality, safety and functionality of the most commonly used self-management apps. Methods A web-based survey was conducted to explore which apps people with BD reported using to support self-management of mood and sleep. The characteristics of the most commonly nominated apps were described using a standardized framework, including their privacy policy, clinical foundations, and functionality. Results Respondents (n = 919) were 77.9% female with a mean age of 36.9 years. 41.6% of participants (n = 382) reported using a self-management app to support mood or sleep. 110 unique apps were nominated in relation to mood, and 104 unique apps nominated in relation to sleep; however, most apps were only mentioned once. The nine most frequently nominated apps related to mood and sleep were subject to further evaluation. All reviewed apps offered a privacy policy, however user control over data was limited and the complexity of privacy policies was high. Only one app was developed for BD populations. Half of reviewed apps had published peer-reviewed evidence to support their claims of efficacy, but little research was specific to BD. Conclusion Findings illustrate the potential of smartphone apps to increase the reach of psychosocial interventions amongst people with BD. Apps were largely created by commercial developers and designed for the general population, highlighting a gap in the development and dissemination of evidence-informed apps for BD. There may be risks in using generic health apps for BD self-management; clinicians should enquire about patients’ app use to foster conversations about their particular benefits and limitations.

description: Background An increasing number of individuals who use drugs in North America are preferentially consuming fentanyl over other opioids. This has significant consequences on the treatment and management of opioid use disorder (OUD) and its concurrent disorders, especially in acute care if opioid requirements are not met. Case presentation We present a patient with severe OUD and daily injection of fentanyl, admitted to hospital for management of acute physical health issues. Due to high opioid requirements and history of patient-initiated discharge, intravenous fentanyl was administered for treatment of opioid withdrawal, and management of pain, which supported continued hospitalization for acute care treatment and aligned with substance use treatment goals. Conclusion This case demonstrates that intravenous fentanyl for management of OUD in hospital can be a feasible approach to meet opioid requirements and avoid fentanyl withdrawal among patients with severe OUD and daily fentanyl use, thereby promoting adherence to medical treatment and reducing the risk of patient-initiated discharge. There is an urgent need to tailor current treatment strategies for individuals who primarily use fentanyl. Carefully designed research is needed to further explore the use of IV fentanyl for acute care management of severe opioid withdrawal in a hospital setting.

Year: 2024

description: Understanding teacher identity is important because it could become one of the factors why teachers stay or leave the profession. This study explored the construction of identities of EFL (English as a Foreign Language) beginning teachers who graduated from an Islamic teacher education program in Indonesia. The findings revealed that teachers' identities were dynamic and changing, affected by emotional experiences as pre-service teachers and as early career teachers. The participants' religious background and future hopes also influenced the way they viewed themselves and the teaching profession. This study findings provide some insights for teacher education programs in preparing future teachers.

Year: 2024

description: Bu araştırma, erken çocukluk dönemindeki 48-66 aylık çocukların bilişsel işlevleri ile öz düzenleme becerileri arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Edirne il merkezindeki altı okul öncesi eğitim kurumundan rastgele seçilen 95 ebeveynle gerçekleştirilen bu nicel araştırma, cinsiyet, yaş, hizmet yılı ve eğitim durumu gibi demografik faktörlere odaklanmaktadır. Bulgular, cinsiyet, yaş, hizmet yılı ve eğitim durumunun çocukların bilişsel işlevleri ve öz düzenleme becerileri üzerinde etkili olduğunu göstermektedir. Bilişsel işlevler açısından, kadın ebeveynlere sahip çocukların, erkek ebeveynlere sahip çocuklara kıyasla daha yüksek puanlar elde ettiği görülmüştür. Yaş bakımından, 20-30 yaş aralığındaki ebeveynlere sahip çocukların diğer yaş gruplarındakilere göre daha yüksek bilişsel işlev puanlarına sahip olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Hizmet yılı açısından, 0-5 yıl hizmet süresine sahip ebeveynlere sahip çocukların diğer gruplara göre daha yüksek bilişsel işlev puanlarına sahip olduğu belirlenmiştir. Eğitim düzeyine göre ise lisans sahibi ebeveynlere sahip çocukların lisansüstü eğitim alan ebeveynlere sahip çocuklardan daha yüksek bilişsel işlev puanlarına sahip olduğu gözlemlenmiştir. Öz düzenleme becerileri açısından, erkek ebeveynlere sahip çocukların kadın ebeveynlere sahip çocuklara göre daha yüksek puanlar elde ettiği görülmüştür. Yaş, hizmet yılı ve eğitim düzeyi açısından benzer şekilde, genellikle daha genç, kısa hizmet süresine sahip ve düşük eğitim düzeyine sahip ebeveynlere sahip çocukların daha yüksek öz düzenleme becerisi puanlarına sahip olduğu belirlenmiştir. Sonuç olarak, bu bulgular, çocukların bilişsel işlevleri ve öz düzenleme becerilerinin çeşitli demografik faktörlere bağlı olarak değişebileceğini ve eğitim programlarının bu faktörleri dikkate alarak tasarlanması gerektiğini vurgulamaktadır.
title: Bisphosphine ligands, metallamacrocycles and a solid-supported alkene metathesis catalyst
Creators: name: Nichols, David Andrew
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Metathesis (chemistry), ligands (biochemistry), transition metal catalysts.

description: The aim of this work was to develop a solid-supported alkene metathesis catalyst. The initial strategy involved two new bisphosphine ligands, DPEN I and DPPN II, and the short and efficient syntheses of these ligands from 2,7-dihydroxynaphthalene are described. The platinum, palladium and ruthenium complexes of ligands I and II were investigated. The ligands were found to favour bridging metal centres to form dimeric or oligomeric complexes. The isolation and structures of three metallamacrocycles formed with platinum(II) are discussed. It was found that the thermodynamically favoured structures were the cis, cis-dimers and that isomerisation to these was catalysed by excess ligand. The bisphosphine ligands were not suitable for use in a solid-supported metathesis N-heterocyclic carbene ligand. The synthesis of bis-mesityl diamine III from L-tyrosine methyl ester is described. Diamine III was immobilised on polystyrene resin and then converted to metathesis catalyst IV. The extensive optimisation carried out in the solid phase synthesis of IV is discussed. A number of diene substrates were synthesised and the supported catalyst was tested for ring closing metathesis activity with good results. However, no enantioselectivity was observed when using the catalyst for RCM of prochiral trienes.

description: Against the background of increasing uncertainty and complexity of the business environment, the usual risk management methods often turn out to be insufficiently effective. Traditional approaches are being replaced by innovative ones. The article is devoted to the urgent problem of integrating machine learning technologies into risk management processes to improve the quality of decisions. The purpose of the study is to analyze the potential and the most obvious limitations of the application of appropriate methods in various management aspects. Contradictions are found between the need to improve the accuracy of risk forecasting and the barriers associated with the interpretability of machine learning models, as well as between the need to process large amounts of data and the requirements for protecting confidential information. The systematization of the advantages of the application is presented, as well as the author's view on the allocation of "problem areas" when using machine learning tools in risk management is presented. The article pays special attention to promising areas of development — in particular, it implies federated learning, explicable artificial intelligence, etc. This work and its results are of interest to specialists in risk management, and data science, and managers interested in improving the effectiveness of risk management in their organizations.

description: Background: Screening for lung cancer with low dose CT can facilitate the detection of early-stage lung cancers that are amenable to treatment, reducing mortality related to lung cancer. Individuals are considered eligible for lung cancer screening if they meet specific high-risk criteria, such as age and smoking history. Population groups that are at highest risk of lung cancer, and therefore, the target of lung cancer screening interventions, are also the least likely to participate in lung cancer screening. This can lead to a widening of health inequities. Deliberate effort is needed to both reduce lung cancer risk (through upstream interventions that promote smoking cessation) as well as midstream interventions that promote equitable access to lung cancer screening. Methods: This protocol paper describes an equity-informed patient-oriented research study. Our study aims to promote equitable access to lung cancer screening by partnering with patients to co-design an e-learning module for healthcare providers. The learning module will describe the social context of lung cancer risk and promote access to lung cancer screening by increasing equity at the point of care. We have applied the Generative Co-Design Framework for Healthcare Innovation and detail our study processes in three phases and six steps: Pre-design (establishing a study governance structure); Co-design (identifying research priorities, gathering and interpreting data, co-developing module content); and Post-design (pilot testing the module and developing an implementation plan). Discussion: Patient engagement in research can promote the design and delivery of healthcare services that are accessible and acceptable to patients. This is particularly important for lung cancer screening as those at highest risk of developing lung cancer are also those who are least likely to participate in lung cancer screening. By detailing the steps of our participatory co-design journey, we are making visible the processes of our work so that they can be linked to future outcomes and related impact, and inform a wide range of patient co-led processes.

title: The socio-technical history of manual sport wheelchair devices

description: Sport wheelchair technology was driven by the goals, ingenuity, and lived experiences of wheelchair athletes. Wheelchair sport emerged as a form of medical and social rehabilitation during the 1940s, growing quickly into significant international competitions which were administered by practitioners. Contemporary wheelchair devices were unsuited to the demands of sports activities, such as wheelchair basketball or wheelchair racing, as disabled people were not imagined to lead active lives. Resisting medical control over wheelchair technology and sport administration, wheelchair users took innovation into their own hands, tinkering their chairs for sport and creating new devices which revolutionised daily use. In this context, the act of modification and innovation is constructed as a site of social and political agency, as users asserted their own interpretations of wheelchair devices and sport.

This thesis draws on semi-structured oral history interviews, digital resources, and archival data to examine the role of wheelchair users within the development of sport wheelchair technologies. Language and models from the field of Science and Technology Studies such as the Social Construction of Technology are employed to trace the evolution of manual sport wheelchair devices, and establish a user-orientated approach to locate disabled people within this narrative. Recent historical research into objects made and used by disabled people and literature from sport and Paralympic studies are also incorporated to establish disabled athletes as significant actors in the development of disability objects (Hamraie and Fritsch, 2019). It is asserted that technological innovation, entrepreneurialism, and rule-breaking constituted acts of self-determination and agency-affirmation for disabled athletes. This thesis argues that the history of sport wheelchair technology is a significant site of autonomy for disabled people, which has previously lacked significant consideration within disability studies.
The Sustainable GRC Façade Panel Design using Recycled Polymers

description: Glass fiber reinforced concrete (GRC) is a sustainable material for facades, but adding polymer affects sustainability and combustibility. Waste paint can replace commercial polymers in GRC, managing waste effectively. Adding waste paint, up to 1% of cement weight, improves workability; further additions reduce it. Waste paint enhances GRC's hardened properties, significantly boosting flexural and compressive strengths. At smaller percentages, waste paint-modified GRC is non-combustible, meeting Australian standards for building envelopes. Rheological properties decrease with paint addition, making paint-modified GRC suitable for 3D printing. 3D printed waste paint-modified GRC exhibits increased strength in all directions tested.
title: Fabrication and optimisation of high-performance nanoplasmonic sensors for biosensing applications

description: Plasmonic sensors are established as an effective, label-free technique for many applications. This thesis focuses on localised surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) sensors and how to optimise them for sensing applications. Although there are examples of lithographically-defined nanostructures being deployed in biosensing applications, few of these studies make attempts to use nanostructures optimised for sensing performance. For this reason, in this thesis we examine different ways of optimising plasmonic nanostructures with the aim of improving their performance in biosensing applications.

We first focus on the properties and sensing abilities of different nanostructure geometries including experimentally assessing both the bulk and localised refractive index sensitivity of different nanostructure arrays. This includes a discussion of the merits of different nanostructure geometries for different applications and the important role which resonance wavelength plays in a sensors refractive index sensing capability.

Next, we focus on the optimisation of nanostructure arrays using annealing techniques. There are few studies on the effect of annealing on the sensing performance of nanostructure arrays and this chapter serves as a discussion as to the benefits and drawbacks of thermal annealing for plasmonic nanostructure sensing arrays. As well as discussing the positive effects of annealing, remedies to the main drawback of annealing, structure deformation, are investigated. Structure deformation results in a reduced electromagnetic field concentration, resulting in diminished sensing performance. To mitigate these issues, we explore the use of a protective layer during annealing to prevent deformation as well as the use of a femtosecond laser as an alternative method for annealing.

Finally, we present work towards a cross-reactive method of sensing proteins. This begins by presenting different methods of making the plasmonic sensors reusable after proteins have adhered to the surface including optimising a cleaning protocol and investigating different surface chemistries that may allow for temporary protein interactions. This culminates in initial testing of a cross-reactive system which shows some success in discriminating between different proteins in solution without the need for specific receptors.
title: High-confinement alumina waveguides for nonlinear optics in the visible and ultraviolet

description: There is increasing interest in photonic integrated circuits (PICs) operating in the blue and ultraviolet (UV), driven by applications such as sensing and optical timing. Novel material platforms are required to operate at these wavelengths; amorphous alumina has an exceptionally wide bandgap, and is therefore a promising candidate. High-confinement waveguide geometries allow for high component integration densities and are essential for nonlinear frequency conversion; however, they can be challenging to fabricate and are sensitive to material absorption losses. This work establishes a methodology for fabrication of high-confinement alumina waveguides, then demonstrates that fabricated devices are suitable for low-loss visible waveguiding and integrated nonlinear optics.

Challenges in developing a high-confinement alumina platform are twofold. Atomic layer deposition (ALD) is a deposition method which can produce pure and homogenous films with low absorption losses; however, depositing amorphous alumina using a conventional thermal ALD process is extremely slow, placing a practical limit on the maximum attainable film thickness. Using an oxygen plasma as the oxidant considerably reduces deposition time; in this work, I establish that alumina films deposited using a dioxygen plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition (PEALD) process can be used to produce low-loss optical waveguides. Furthermore, alumina is difficult to etch selectively, especially whilst maintaining the low sidewall roughness required for operation in the UV-visible region. I address this by developing a waveguide definition process using an hydrogen silsesquioxane (HSQ) mask exposed using electron beam lithography (EBL) and a BCl3 etch plasma, which allows etching of waveguides up to 800nm thick.

Using this process, I fabricate 400nm-thick amorphous alumina waveguides with confinement factors over 0.9 at a wavelength of 450nm. With propagation losses of 0.8dB/cm, these are the lowest-loss high-confinement waveguides reported for blue light. I present dispersion engineering calculations which demonstrate the necessity of high-confinement, unclad waveguides for stimulation of spectral broadening through nonlinear optical processes, and demonstrate the first supercontinuum generated in alumina waveguides, extending from 384nm to 951nm at a level of −50dB, in 700nm-thick waveguides. These results establish the viability of amorphous alumina deposited using dioxygen PEALD as a wide-bandgap material platform for UV-visible linear and nonlinear optics.
