description: Concerns regarding the role of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in disease outbreaks are growing due to excessive antibiotic use. Moreover, consumers are demanding minimally processed and sustainably produced food products, without the use of chemical preservatives or antibiotics. Novel non-thermal technologies such as cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) and natural antimicrobials derived from by-products of the food industry such as grape seed extract (GSE) are attractive alternatives to conventional food decontamination methods as they meet the above demands. However, the level of microbial inactivation imposed by these methods varies depending on the type of microorganism, intensity of the treatment and substrate (solid or liquid). Therefore, further studies are required to investigate the potential of those novel approaches when applied individually or in combination.Most studies exploring the antimicrobial efficacy of natural antimicrobials derived from food waste are not carrying out systematic quantitative monitoring of the microbial dynamics. Additionally, in most cases, the antimicrobial efficacy of novel processing control strategies is only studied in liquid environments or specific food products and their mechanism of inactivation is still not fully elucidated. In this thesis, a fundamental study on the antimicrobial efficacy of GSE and CAP in liquid and solid(like) in vitro models and their effect on the environmental stress response of pathogenic bacteria is presented for the first time.This thesis demonstrates that GSE successfully inactivates L. monocytogenes and SigB appears to play an important role in the resistance of L. monocytogenes to the individual GSE and combined treatment with CAP. Additionally, it shows that the antimicrobial efficacy of the GSE in simplistic (monophasic) 3D models was comparable to liquid systems but not in more complex (biphasic and triphasic) 3D systems. The hurdle approach has promising microbial inactivation potential; however, the efficacy depends on the bacterial species, the structural and biochemical complexity of the substrate and the order of application.This work contributes towards understanding the antimicrobial efficacy of mild processing control strategies in controlled in vitro models and mechanisms playing a role in tolerance/sensitivity of our model Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria to GSE, CAP and their combination. Therefore, our results contribute to the development of sustainable food safety strategies.

description: Background Injection drug use remains a primary driver of HIV and HCV-related harms globally. However, there is a gap in efforts to prevent individuals from transitioning into injecting. People who inject drugs (PWID) play a key role in the transition of others into injecting, and while behavioral interventions have been developed to address this phenomenon, socio-structural approaches remain unexplored. To that end, we hypothesize that certain interventions designed to reduce injecting-related risk behaviors may also reduce the risk that PWID expose and introduce others into injecting. Identifying the preventive potential of existing interventions will inform broader efforts to prevent injecting and related harms. Methods The Preventing Injecting by Modifying Existing Responses (PRIMER) study is a multi-country mixed methods study with an aim to investigate whether specific interventions (e.g., opioid substitution therapy, supervised injection facilities, stable housing, incarceration environments) and related factors (e.g., public injecting and gender) influence the likelihood that PWID initiate others into injecting. This study will (1) investigate the PWID participation in injection initiation; (2) identify factors influencing the risk that PWID expose others to or facilitate injection initiation; (3) describe drug scene roles that increase the risk of PWID facilitating injection initiation; and (4) evaluate the impact of structural, social, or biomedical interventions on the risk that PWID facilitate injection initiation. It does so by pooling observational data from cohort studies of PWID in six cities: Vancouver, Canada; San Diego, USA; Tijuana, Mexico; Paris, Marseille, and Bordeaux, France. Results Team members are conducting a prospective, multi-site study of PWID (n = 3050) in North America and France that includes quantitative and qualitative data collection through four separate cohort studies of PWID (San Diego, STAHR II; Tijuana, El Cuete IV; Vancouver, V-DUS; Bordeaux, Marseille, Paris and Strasbourg, COSINUS). Conclusions PRIMER is the largest study of injection initiation to date and the first to investigate structural approaches to preventing injection drug use initiation. Findings have the potential to inform the development and scale up of new and existing interventions to prevent transitions into injecting.

description: Since the last couple years, entrepreneurship education have become a popular program in most universities in Indonesia. This paper presents partial results of a research designed to evaluate the entrepreneurship education in Bengkulu University, Indonesia. The research has four main objectives: (a) to evaluate the development of entrepreneurship education at the Bengkulu University, (b) to investigate students’ opinion on the entrepreneurship education and their satisfaction with the provision of entrepreneurship subject, (c) to identify strengths and weaknesses of the existing practice of the entrepreneurship education, and (d) to provide recommendations for the future. This study used secondary data and primary data collected from 15 lecturers of entrepreneurship subject and 333 students consisting of 189 new students and 144 who already undertook and passed the entrepreneurship subject. Data were analyzed using descriptive analysis techniques and SatMat model developed by Abduh, D’Souza, Burley and Quazi (2007) for assessing and classifying students’ satisfaction level. The results suggest that the entrepreneurship education in the Bengkulu University is getting progress as the number of students interested in to become an entrepreneur has increased overtime as well as the number of entrepreneurship lecturers. However, there were some weaknesses of the existing practice of the entrepreneurship education, including: a low level of students’ satisfaction on some kinds of subject materials, teaching methods and outcomes expected from the subjects, and lack of coordination between related units. Based on the results, an integrated framework named as Center for Student Entrepreneurship Development and Business Incubation Program (CSED-BIP) was proposed and recommended to improve the effectiveness of the entrepreneurship education in the university in the future.

Doch wir wollen semantisch neutral bleiben und den Terminus »normal« als eine statistische Bezeichnung betrachten, die sich auf eine Mehrheit bezieht. Verwandte Wörter sind »Normen« und »normativ«, die für Werte stehen, denen die Mehrheit der Gesellschaft beipflichtet.

description: In recent years, the inadequacy and high costs of current cancer treatment drugs have led to an increase in research focused on the design and synthesis of new compounds with potential applications in this field and the evaluation of their anticancer properties using in silico methods. For this purpose, four novel heterocyclic compounds (6–9) were synthesized and characterized using spectroscopic techniques. The DFT approach and B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) basis set were used to compare theoretical data with experimental ones and to obtain optimized geometries. It was observed that experimental and theoretical data were in harmony. In silico techniques were used to investigate the potential of synthesized compounds as drug candidates. ADMEt results have shown that all synthesized compounds have Lipinski’s rule of five which has searched criteria in drug candidates. Molecular docking studies were also performed against cancer-related proteins. The highest docking score between 2XIR protein and compound 8 was found to be −11.7 kcal/mol, while the lowest was −8.2 kcal/mol between 1MP8 protein and compound 9. To do meaningful comparisons standard drugs were also used in Molecular Docking studies. It was observed that all synthesized molecules had higher docking scores than standard drugs except ifebemtinib. It can be suggested that based on ADMET and molecular docking studies compound 8 has the potential to be a drug candidate after further investigations such as in vitro, in silico, etc., have been performed in this area.

description: Pyridazinone derivatives, 6-aryl-pyridazinone (2a–f) and 2-(N-substituted)-6-aryl-pyridazinone (3a–h) derivatives were synthesized and assessed for cytotoxicity action using brine shrimp assessment method and in silico molecular studies. In silico molecular study of pyridazine derivatives used as NNRTIs and Doravirine is used as reference drug. The compounds were investigated for docking modes onto probable binding sites with HIV reverse transcriptase. The majority of these demonstrated favorable binding interactive connections with the active receptor domain. The majority of the compounds exhibited a remarkable docked binding affinity score when compared with the reference drugs. Among the synthesized pyridazine derivatives, compounds 3a and 3c–h exhibited a good docking score. For the designed compounds, in silico ADME assessment indicated the favorable physicochemical properties to be a suitable drug candidate. The synthesized compounds could serve as a novel alternative in designing safe and effective anti-HIV options with reverse transcriptase inhibitor potential. In the cytotoxicity study, all the compounds were evaluated at dose levels 10, and 20 (μg/mL), and potassium dichromate was used as a reference. Compounds 2c and 2e have shown potent lethality through LC50 2.23 and 3.20 μg respectively. Various compounds, including 2a, 2b, 2d, and 2f have demonstrated significant cytotoxicity. Their LC50 values are 7.58, 6.76, 8.91, and 4.46 μg, respectively. Additionally, compounds 3b and 3d exhibited potent lethality with LC50 values of 4.023 and 4.20 μg. Other compounds, namely 3g, 3f, 3c, 3h, 3a, and 3e, displayed noteworthy cytotoxicity ability13.91, 12.58, 11.91, 11.76, 10.58, 9.76, and 7.46 μg, respectively having LC50 values. This study supports the use of in silico molecular design and the brine shrimp bioassay as a suitable, reliable, and simple method for assessing the bioactivity of compounds. It provides further evidence for their use in medicine.

Year: 2024

description: This article explores the domestication of mobile technologies by women and how their traditionally slow adoption of new technologies is being mirrored through their adoption of smart-phone applications. Building on existing gender and mobile communications literature, this paper provides a needed overview of how women are strategically deploying the use of 'apps' on their smart phones in both 'fun' and 'useful' ways. Two groups are analysed in this article. The first comprises women who only use a single Internet connection, identified as 'single connectors'. This group is contrasted with a second group who use multiple Internet connections, identified as 'triple connectors'. In this article we playfully name the social seeking Triple Connectors Social Consumers and the Mobile Internet Single Connectors have been identified as Information Seeking Consumers. 'Social networking' was identified as a 'fun' app rather than a 'useful' app by both groups of female connectors: what does this say about women and their definitions of leisure? Are women still viewing networking as part of their commitment to emotional labour rather than something that is 'useful'?

description: A multicomponent technique was utilized to synthesize pyrroloimidazoles, a novel class of compounds, with exceptional efficiency. The reaction involved the combination of oxoindolinylidene malononitrile, ethyl 2-arylamino-4-dioxo-4-arylbutanoates, hydrazonoyl chlorides, ammonium acetate, and ethyl bromopyruvate in an aqueous solution at room temperature. The presence of Ag/Fe3O4@MWCNTs MNCs intensified the reaction. This study examines the antioxidant properties of pyrroloimidazoles, in addition to other investigations undertaken within the same study. The manufacture of pyrroloimidazole exhibited several advantageous characteristics, such as rapid reactions, elevated yields of the end product, and straightforward separation of the catalyst and product from the reaction mixture.

Revealing the Structure and Function of Natural and Bioinspired Biocomposites Using Synchrotron X-ray Tomography Techniques
Creators: name: Leung, Nathanael Ho Wai

description: Dental caries is one of the most prevalent yet preventable oral conditions that affects 31% of UK adults as well as 46% and 34% of 15- and 12-year-olds, respectively. The condition is caused by the chronic exposure of acid produced by oral bacteria that leads to the destruction of the dental hard tissues, causing pain, infection, and even tooth loss.

description:

description: In this project, new cutting-edge synchrotron X-ray tomography techniques to further the understanding of caries and how acid damages teeth have been developed. Including the first, time-resolved study of dentine demineralisation using high-speed synchrotron X-ray tomography which was able to quantify the microstructural changes in the dentine tubules and measure the rate of demineralisation. A novel method for reconstructing crystalline properties, such as crystallite size and strain, measured using synchrotron X-ray diffraction tomography was also established. This method was later used to compare the structural changes in natural carious and artificially demineralised dentine. The findings showed that for artificial demineralisation to resemble the natural process, a process of pH cycling must be applied.

description:

description: Furthermore, when the natural dentition is no longer capable of continuing their function, dental crowns are used as replacements. With conditions like caries becoming more prevalent at younger ages, the need for longer lasting dental crowns is growing.

description:

description: This project studied the mechanical properties of bioinspired ceramic-polymer composites, as part of the development of next generation dental crown restorations. In particular, this project investigated the integration of a nanoindenter on a synchrotron beamline, as part of a proof-of-concept study, to enable in situ X-ray diffraction tomography mechanical testing of the proposed composite materials, to measure strain evolution. The initial results have highlighted some challenges, such as dominant single crystal diffraction spots, that will need to be appropriately handled during experimental planning and data processing.

description: Background: This paper provides an up-to-date review of the management and outcome of accidental hypothermia patients with and without cardiac arrest. Methods: The authors reviewed the relevant literature in their specialist field. Summaries were merged, discussed and approved to produce this narrative review. Results: The hospital use of minimally-invasive rewarming for non-arrested, otherwise healthy, patients with primary hypothermia and stable vital signs has the potential to substantially decrease morbidity and mortality for these patients. Extracorporeal life support (ECLS) has revolutionised the management of hypothermic cardiac arrest, with survival rates approaching 100 % in some cases. Hypothermic patients with risk factors for imminent cardiac arrest (temperature <28 °C, ventricular arrhythmia, systolic blood pressure <90 mmHg), and those who have already arrested, should be transferred directly to an ECLS-centre. Cardiac arrest patients should receive continuous cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) during transfer. If prolonged transport is required or terrain is difficult, mechanical CPR can be helpful. Delayed or intermittent CPR may be appropriate in hypothermic arrest when continuous CPR is impossible. Modern post-resuscitation care should be implemented following hypothermic arrest. Structured protocols should be in place to optimise pre-hospital triage, transport and treatment as well as in-hospital management, including detailed criteria and protocols for the use of ECLS and post-resuscitation care. Conclusions: Based on new evidence, additional clinical experience and clearer management guidelines and documentation, the treatment of accidental hypothermia has been refined. ECLS has substantially improved survival and is the treatment of choice in the patient with unstable circulation or cardiac arrest.

Focused Ion Beam Induced Strain of Nanomembranes and Exotic Liquid Metal Ion Sources Development

Publisher: name: University of Surrey
Year: 2023

description: Moving photonics onto silicon has been a long-held goal, and while there have been many successes in developing passive silicon photonic devices, an active laser that is truly CMOS-industry compatible remains elusive. In this thesis, it is described a novel ion-beam induced strain technique that allows to engineering high tensile strains in group-IV semiconductor membranes. Conventional focused ion beam (FIB) microscopes (Ga liquid metal ion source FIB and Xenon Plasma FIB) have been used to implant ~10^15 ions cm^-2 in silicon (Si) single-crystal 35 nm membranes. The implanted ions cause shrinkage of the irradiated region, giving rise to a pulling force at the edges of the neighbouring non-implanted region, in a similar fashion to the tightening of a drum skin. Since the experiments use low-energy implants, only the top half of the membrane is amorphised and contracts, whilst the bottom half remains crystalline. The overall result is a remarkable amplification effect causing record high tensile strains (3.1% biaxial and 8.5% uniaxial tensile strain) at the central unexposed region, all of which were measured by micro-Raman spectroscopy and correlated to electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) analyses. This new method has the potential to transform the silicon (and especially germanium, Ge) electronics/photonics industry via allowing far higher electron mobility in silicon transistors for much better speed and heat dissipation and by producing CMOS-compatible direct gap materials for lasers and other photonic devices. In addition, considering the potential of this newly developed technique to produce active silicon or germanium lasing devices, a facility to manufacture liquid metal alloy ion sources (LMAIS) was built in order to implant Si or Ge ions whilst straining membranes of its respective composition. This self-implantation is necessary to produce intrinsic laser without the introduction of defects, hence maintaining high probability and gain levels during stimulated emission of radiation.

description: Background: Mental practice, the cognitive rehearsal of a task in the absence of overt physical movement, has been successfully used in teaching complex psychomotor tasks including sports and music, and recently, surgical skills. The objectives of this study were, 1) To develop and evaluate a mental practice protocol for mastoidectomy 2) To assess the immediate impact of mental practice on a mastoidectomy surgical task among senior Otolaryngology─Head & Neck Surgery (OHNS) residents. Method: Three expert surgeons were interviewed using verbal protocol analysis to develop a mastoidectomy mental practice script. Twelve senior Residents from Canadian training programs were randomized into two groups. All Residents were video-recorded performing a baseline mastoidectomy in a temporal bone lab. The intervention group received mental practice training, while the control group undertook self-directed textbook study. All subjects were then video-recorded performing a second mastoidectomy. Changes in pre- and post-test scores using validated expert ratings, the Task Specific Evaluation of Mastoidectomy and the Global Evaluation of Mastoidectomy, were statistically analyzed. Results: A mental practice script was successfully developed based on interviews of three expert surgeon-educators. Task Specific Evaluation and Global Evaluation scores increased in both the mental practice and textbook study groups; there was no significant difference between the two groups in the change in scores post-intervention. There was a high and statistically signficant correlation between evaluators on the outcome measures. Conclusions: We were not able to demonstrate a significant difference for the benefits of mental practice in mastoidectomy, possibly due to the sample size. However, mental practice is a surgical education tool which is portable, accessible, inexpensive and safe.

description: Remote Simultaneous Interpreting (RSI) platforms enable interpreters to provide their services remotelyand work from various locations. However, despite its rising prominence, interpreters often perceiveRSI as more challenging than on-site interpreting (Buján and Collard, 2022). Whilst insufficient audioquality has regularly been cited as a source of problems in RSI (Braun, 2019), the visual dimension ofRSI has received little attention in research. Previous studies have highlighted interpreters’ feelings ofisolation and alienation in RSI (Moser-Mercer, 2003) and have pointed to the importance of theinterpreters’ sense of presence in RSI (Mouzourakis, 2006; Ziegler and Gigliobianco, 2018), but theyhave not yet comprehensively explored the contribution of visual aspects of RSI to this. The shift frombooth-based to cloud/software-based RSI, particularly in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, has,however, raised significant questions about the design of the visual interface of RSI platforms, and itsimpact on RSI.This project therefore addresses the underexplored visual dimension of RSI platforms, specifically thevisual interface design, the interpreter’s view of the speaker, and the integration of Automatic SpeechRecognition (ASR) in the RSI interface. By investigating how these elements impact interpreters' userexperience and perceptions of performance, the study aims to inform the design and customisation ofRSI platforms to align with interpreters' preferences, needs, and skills.The study used a mixed-methods approach, which combines a comprehensive literature review, focusgroup discussions, an experimental study involving 29 professional interpreters, and post-experimentinterviews with nine of these participants.The findings reveal that different visual elements within RSI platforms contribute differently to interpreteruser experience. For instance, speaker views play a pivotal role in helping interpreters understand thespeaker's message, while elements such as presentations and ASR support aid interpreters incomprehending complex content, particularly technical terminology and numerical data. Experiencedinterpreters exhibit more critical scrutiny of visual features, while less experienced interpreters expressa more positive outlook on ASR and minimal interfaces. Additionally, the study identifies broaderchallenges that impede the adoption of RSI, including technical support issues, sound quality concerns,and social challenges, offering insights for enhancing RSI practices.

ROR

description: As the use of DOIs and their associated metadata has proliferated throughout the research ecosystem to identify research outputs, linking research outputs to the organizations where they are affiliated remains challenging. ROR (Research Organization Registry) is a community-led project to develop an open, sustainable, usable, and unique identifier for every research organization in the world. ROR’s specific focus is the affiliation use case—to unambiguously identify which organizations are affiliated with which research outputs. ROR launched in 2019, starting with seed data from GRID, and the registry now includes unique ROR IDs and associated metadata for approximately 97,000 research organizations. ROR IDs are already being implemented in systems and platforms across the scholarly communications ecosystem, and they are being supported in DataCite and Crossref metadata. Wide adoption of ROR in scholarly infrastructure and metadata will enable more efficient discovery and tracking of publications across institutions and funding bodies, and ROR’s open approach will ensure that this type of institutional data is available to all. This session will cover the basics of ROR, examples of early ROR implementations, and ways to get involved with the project.

Phenomenological experience of recovery from critical illness with COVID-19 in Global Majority participants in the UK
Creators: name: BIDAD, NATALIE ANNE
Publisher: name: University of Surrey
Year: 2022

description: Global Majority people in the UK continue to be disproportionately affected by critical illness with Covid-19. Pre-pandemic literature indicates that acute stress responses predict psychological morbidity in critical care survivors. This study explored the lived experience of critical illness with Covid-19 for eight Global Majority people in the UK. Verbatim transcripts of semi-structured interviews were analysed using interpretative phenomenological analysis. Analysis suggested that participants’ experience was characterised by a pervasive threatened mortality, feeling alone and needing to be self-reliant, collective concern in their recovery from diverse social groups and ongoing impairment and vulnerability resulting in changes to identity. Perceived stressfulness of participants’ illness trajectory was influenced by contextual factors relating to the pandemic and their personal and social histories. This highlights the significance of patient ethnicity in stress responses to critical illness with Covid-19.
The effects of Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid supplementation on neurocognitive functioning in healthy young adults
Creators: name: Bauer, Isabelle Esther
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The high consumption of processed foods and the low intake of plant-based and fish-based products risk prematurely affecting the health and cognitive performance of young adults, who should be at the peak of their professional life. Despite the health risks associated with omega-3 deficiency, fish consumption in the Western world is decreasing. This thesis showed that a daily dose of omega-3 fatty acids has the potential to improve cognitive performance and leads to significant changes in visual functioning and brain function in 18 to 40 year old healthy adults.

Phase-matched high order harmonic generation and applications
Creators: name: Dinh, Ba Khuong
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This dissertation presents an experimental study of High Harmonic Generation (HHG) using ultrafast laser pulses to produce radiation in the extreme ultraviolet. Two novel schemes which provided an additional phase for the fundamental and harmonic fields were used to enhance the quality of the HHG source including the conversion efficiency and the coherence. The interplay between the single-atom response and the macroscopic response, especially the role of macroscopic propagation effects on the HHG process, were investigated. The HHG source was applied to study rotational coherence dynamics of molecules and to implement coherent diffractive imaging in the extreme ultraviolet region.
