description: Journal peer review regulates the flow of ideas through an academic discipline and thus has the power to shape what a research community knows, actively investigates, and recommends to policymakers and the wider public. We might assume that editors can identify the ‘best’ experts and rely on them for peer review. But decades of research on both expert decision-making and peer review suggests they cannot. In the absence of a clear criterion for demarcating reliable, insightful, and accurate expert assessors of research quality, the best safeguard against unwanted biases and uneven power distributions is to introduce greater transparency and structure into the process. This paper argues that peer review would therefore benefit from applying a series of evidence-based recommendations from the empirical literature on structured expert elicitation. We highlight individual and group characteristics that contribute to higher quality judgements, and elements of elicitation protocols that reduce bias, promote constructive discussion, and enable opinions to be objectively and transparently aggregated.

description: Ustawa Prawo prasowe należy do zbioru ustaw najdłużej obowiązujących, jako przejętych z systemu prawnego sprzed 1989 roku. Dotychczas niepodjęta została próba napisania od podstaw nowej ustawy, odpowiadającej nowoczesnym rozwiązaniom prawnym i politycznym. Podstawowa treść ustawy Prawo prasowe pochodzi z 26 stycznia 1984 r. (Dz.U. nr 5 poz. 24). Dokonano w niej jednak 21 zmian, uchwalonych na przestrzeni lat 1988-2013. Wszystkie zmiany miały na celu dostosowanie ustawy do nowych wyzwań, z jakimi środowiska dziennikarskie, w tym prasowe, stykają się w codziennej praktyce. W szczególności elektroniczne środki masowej komunikacji (radio, telewizja i Internet) postawiły przed dziennikarzami oraz prawnikami zainteresowanymi problemami tego środowiska konieczność poszerzania swej wiedzy w zakresie nowoczesnego stosowania prawa prasowego.

description: The latest book by Mirosław Pęczak is an overview of subcultures in the People's Republic of Poland. It came out in the same year as a study of the punk subculture in People's Poland and neighboring countries in the 1980s by Remigiusz Kasprzycki (Libron: Dekada buntu) as well as a related book on the subject of mainly British punk in the 1970s, England's Dreaming (Warsaw: Axis Mundi, March 2013). Pęczak's book is different from both. It is a monograph tackling seven subcultures and a host of related formations of late People's Poland. It is slightly surprising that in comparison with Kasprzycki's monumental 420 pages and Savage's 600, Pęczak's work spans about 180. The structure of Subkultury w PRL is as unique as its subject matter. The book is divided into chapters on all the major subcultures, ordered chronologically: from chuligani to punk, followed by one about the decline of People's Poland in the 1980s and the practices of the subculture-related phenomena, like Pomarańczowa Alternatywa. It is a good way to present these subcultures, because it underlines continuity, including their attitudes toward the regime and the different resources they each had in their symbolic or actual struggles against the system, whose attitude toward non-conformist cultural phenomena also evolved over time.

description: Zenon Pałat befasst sich in seiner hier anzuzeigenden Studie mit der Ikonografie der zu Beginn des 20. Jh. in Posen entstandenen Repräsentationsbauten. Auch das Buch selbst hat in ikonografischer Hinsicht einiges zu bieten: Der Einband ist in den Farben Schwarz-Weiß-Rot gehalten und zeigt die Abbildung eines in imposanter Manier über Posens Innenstadt schwebenden Luftschiffes, zudem ist der Begriff „polityka“ im Titel in Frakturschrift gesetzt. Hiervon sollte man sich aber nicht abschrecken lassen: Die detaillierte architektonische Beschreibung und Analyse von Gebäuden wie dem Königlichen Residenzschloss, der Königlichen Akademie, dem Neuen Theater oder dem Sitz der Ansiedlungskommission gehen weit über eine erneute Nachzeichnung des deutsch-polnischen Antagonismus hinaus.

description: Adam Ciołkosz (1901-1978) gehörte zu den wichtigsten polnischen Sozialisten und war ein Vertreter der jüngeren Generation der Aktivisten und Parteifunktionäre der Polnischen Sozialistischen Partei (PPS). Die Zeit seiner größten Aktivität fiel in die 1920er und 1930er Jahre in Polen und die 1940er im Exil. Er gehörte einer jüngeren Generation an als die berühmten polnischen Sozialisten Ignacy Daszyński, Mieczysław Niedziałkowski, Herman Lieberman oder Norbert Barlicki. In jungen Jahren war Ciołkosz einer der eifrigsten Aktivisten der Pfadfinderbewegung Polens und seit 1921 der Polnischen Sozialistischen Partei. Außerdem nahm er auch am Polnisch-Sowjetischen Krieg im Jahre 1920 teil. Ab 1928 war Ciołkosz Abgeordneter des polnischen Sejms. Bei der Sejm-Wahl 1930 wurde er wiedergewählt und bekleidete fortan wichtige Funktionen in Partei und Fraktion. Seine oppositionelle Tätigkeit gegen das Sanacja-Lager von Józef Piłsudski, insbesondere im Rahmen des Mitte-Links-Blocks Centrolew, führte ihn – nach der Verurteilung im Prozess von Brest im Jahre 1933 – ins Gefängnis. Ab Februar 1940 lebte er im Exil – zuerst in Paris und dann in London. Mehr als die Hälfte seines Lebens verbrachte er im Ausland, wo er auch die Exilorganisation der Polnischen Sozialistischen Partei leitete.

description: Background Bloodstream infections (BSIs) cause significant morbidity and mortality in critically ill children but treatment duration is understudied. We describe the durations of antimicrobial treatment that critically ill children receive and explore factors associated with treatment duration. Methods We conducted a retrospective observational cohort study in six pediatric intensive care units (PICUs) across Canada. Associations between treatment duration and patient-, infection- and pathogen-related characteristics were explored using multivariable regression analyses. Results Among 187 critically ill children with BSIs, the median duration of antimicrobial treatment was 15 (IQR 11–25) days. Median treatment durations were longer than two weeks for all subjects with known sources of infection: catheter-related 16 (IQR 11–24), respiratory 15 (IQR 11–26), intra-abdominal 20 (IQR 14–26), skin/soft tissue 17 (IQR 15–33), urinary 17 (IQR 15–35), central nervous system 33 (IQR 15–46) and other sources 29.5 (IQR 15–55) days. When sources of infection were unclear, the median duration was 13 (IQR 10–16) days. Treatment durations varied widely within and across PICUs. In multivariable linear regression, longer treatment durations were associated with severity of illness (+ 0.4 days longer [95% confidence interval (CI), 0.1 to 0.7, p = 0.007] per unit increase in PRISM-IV) and central nervous system infection (+ 17 days [95% CI, 6.7 to 27.4], p = 0.001). Age and pathogen type were not associated with treatment duration. Conclusions Most critically ill children with BSIs received at least two weeks of antimicrobial treatment. Further study is needed to determine whether shorter duration therapy would be effective for selected critically ill children.

An Energy Performance Contract Optimization Approach to Meet the Competing Stakeholder Expectations under Uncertainty: A Canadian Case Study
Creators: name: Prabatha, Tharindu

Year: 2022

description: Energy performance contracts (EPC) can address economic sustainability challenges associated with residential energy retrofitting projects, including funding limitations, poor quality of project delivery, and landlord-tenant dilemma. Literature has overlooked the impact of weighted average cost of capital (WACC) and funding sources in EPC planning. However, the WACC, stakeholder priorities, and uncertainties can alter the project outcomes. This study proposes a Monte-Carlo simulation based non-linear multi-objective optimization approach to address the aforementioned challenges. A case study conducted in British Columbia indicated that the maximum overall project profitability can vary between $18,035 and $20,626 with decision priorities. The overall project profitability can vary over 9% due to uncertainties. The project profits can change over $3000 due to changes in the WACC. These observations confirmed the criticality of accounting for WACC, stakeholder priorities, and uncertainties in EPC planning. The risk of compensating for the performance compromises and profits increases simultaneously for the energy services company with the increasing contract periods, while it is inverse for the owners. Therefore, the contract period must be decided considering the profit expectations and risk tolerance of the stakeholders. Extended contract periods allow lower capital contributions from the building owners, potentially solving the principal-agent disputes in rental buildings.
The value added of organized information: from Floridi to Bennett

Publisher: name: ISKO UK
Year: 2015
Subjects: Philosophy of information
Value of Knowledge Orgainization

description: Recently, Floridi has proposed that ethics be centered on the notion of information, which would represent a value in itself. As anything contains information in some form, this stance would imply that anything has intrinsic value. While this perspective is intriguing as it would make information science an even more important domain, it needs to be refined by distinguishing between different levels of organized information. Instances of matter, of life, of minds, of civil society, and of cultural heritage are all different kinds of informational systems, each formed through an evolutionary path that has built on the previous levels, with a corresponding increase in what Bennett has defined as logical depth. This process makes the logically deepest phenomena especially valuable, as they could not be recreated without repeating the whole path. Personal experiences of individual humans, either shared orally or recorded in diaries, as well as collective knowledge and knowledge organization systems, that can be documented in texts or in images before disappearing, are especially precious sorts of information and should be acknowledged the highest value.

Lebensmittelhandel

description: Die einen werben mit Pandas, die anderen sagen, dass sie verantwortungsvoll handeln oder dass Nachhaltigkeit Teil ihrer DNA sei. Es gibt kaum einen Supermarkt, der nicht mit dem Begriff "Nachhaltigkeit" wirbt. Aber was machen die Handelsunternehmen genau, welchen Beitrag leisten sie aus Umweltsicht für die Nachhaltigkeit im Ernährungsbereich? Diesen Fragen geht dieser Bericht nach. Dabei werden die in ihren Nachhaltigkeitsberichten oder auf ihren Webseiten o. Ä. angegebenen Aktivitäten der neun umsatzstärksten Unternehmen des Lebensmitteleinzelhandels (LEHs) (ALDI Nord, ALDI SÜD, EDEKA, Kaufland, Lidl, Netto, PENNY, real und REWE) mit Stand 31. Mai 2019 anhand der umweltrelevanten Aspekte der nachhaltigen Ernährung aus dem Nationalen Programm für Nachhaltigen Konsum der Bundesregierung untersucht. Ziel ist es, einen Überblick über die vielfältigen Aktivitäten des LEHs zu gewinnen, die Relevanz seiner Aktivitäten zu prüfen, Fortschritte und Defizite zu ermitteln und dem LEH eine Orientierung bzw. Unterstützung für zukünftige Aktivitäten in Bezug auf Nachhaltigkeit zu bieten. Schließlich soll dieser Bericht allen Akteurinnen und Akteuren in künftigen Diskussionen über die nachhaltige Gestaltung der Ernährungssysteme als Grundlage dienen. Quelle: Forschungsbericht
description: Some do advertise with Pandas, others declare acting responsibly or sustainability is a part of their DNA. Today, you hardly find a supermarket, tha not using sustainability as a keyword in its marketing campaign. But when you apply ecological standards what exactly do these companies do, what do they contribute when it comes to sustainability in the nutrition sector? Answering this question is the driver of this report. To find answers, the author analysed and assessed the reports on sustainability and or other sources published until 31 May 2019 by Germany's nine most revenue generating companies in food retailing (ALDI Nord, ALDI SÜD, EDEKA, Kaufland, Lidl, Netto, PENNY, real,- and REWE). They were benchmarked utilizing the ecological relevant aspects of nutrition as defined in the National Program for Sustainable Consumption (Nationales Programm für Nachhaltigen Konsum) by the German Government. This report is aiming to a) provide a comprehensive overview of the multifaceted efforts of the biggest players in German food retailing b) assess the relevance of these activities, c) identify current achievements and shortcomings and d) provide guidance to food retailing when it comes to defining future sustainability goals and drafting roadmaps aiming to reach those goals. Last, but not least, this report is aiming to serve all stakeholders as foundation for the future debate on how to design a truly Sustainable Nutrition system. Quelle: Forschungsbericht

description: The Long Aftermath is a collection of documented research essays by twenty-one scholars from various nations and disciplines. The sub-title, Cultural Legacies of Europe at War 1936-2016, informs the reader that the book focuses on World War II, its ideological if not military "prequel," the Spanish Civil War (p. 23), and its effects or "aftermath" in the decades under discussion. Several chapters are devoted to each of seven European countries: Spain, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, and the USSR/Russia. The term "cultural legacies" is addressed rather broadly, encompassing personal memories, historical, political, and ideological commentary, and analyses of war-related literature and films. The articles focus on specific topics in detail, although some general conclusions emerge
Development Of Concurrent Activation And Surface Modification (CAM) Process In Palm Kernel Shell-Derived Activated Carbon Production For Post-Combustion Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Adsorption
Creators: name: Lai, Jia Yen
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Palm kernel shell-derived activated carbon (PKSdAC) have been studied for CO2 capture given their unique structure, easy to modify, and low-cost compared to amine-based absorption. This research studies concurrent activation and surface modification (CAM) process to produce PKSdAC using sulphuric acid and barium chloride as activating and doping agents. Parametric optimization of PKSdAC production condition was performed to enhance its porous structure and surface affinity. The optimum CAM-PKSdAC was investigated for its CO2 adsorption performance and stability using customized lab-scale gas adsorption tower against conventional surface modified-activated PKSdAC. Techno-economic feasibility of CAM and two-step activation and surface modification were evaluated.

description: The recovery of algal biomass is one of the critical steps involved in the commercial production of beneficial metabolites from Arthrospira platensis. Efficient and safe harvesting methods that do not sacrifice quality of final product are important for commercial application. Phytic acid (PA) is a natural non-toxic phytochemical widely distributed in plant tissues. Effect of PA from rice bran on the growth, trichome morphology such as spiral number and algal filament length, and harvesting efficiency of A. platensis were investigated. Cells aggregated into large cell flocs after the addition of PA in the medium, and algal spiral number and filament length increased. UV-vis spectra indicated the interactions between PA and algal cells. Adding PA at stationary growth phase is a good strategy for harvesting, since no adverse effect to biomass growth and harvesting efficiency. Harvesting efficiency of 95.69% at 0.5% (v/v) PA was superior to other conventional harvesting methodologies.

description: Background Microglia participate in the immune response upon central nervous system (CNS) infections. However, the role of these cells during herpes simplex encephalitis (HSE) has not been fully characterized. We sought to identify different microglia/microglia-like cells and describe the potential mechanisms and signaling pathways involved during HSE. Methods The transcriptional response of CD11b⁺ immune cells, including microglia/microglia-like cells, was investigated using single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) on cells isolated from the ventral posterolateral nucleus (VPL)-enriched thalamic regions of C57BL/6 N mice intranasally infected with herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1) (6 × 10⁵ PFUs/20 µl). We further performed scanning electronic microscopy (SEM) analysis in VPL regions on day 6 post-infection (p.i.) to provide insight into microglial functions. Results We describe a novel microglia-like transcriptional response associated with a rare cell population (7% of all analyzed cells), named “in transition” microglia/microglia-like cells in HSE. This new microglia-like transcriptional signature, found in the highly infected thalamic regions, was enriched in specific genes (Retnlg, Cxcr2, Il1f9) usually associated with neutrophils. Pathway analysis of this cell-type transcriptome showed increased NLRP3-inflammasome-mediated interleukin IL-1β production, promoting a pro-inflammatory response. These cells' increased expression of viral transcripts suggests that the distinct “in transition” transcriptome corresponds to the intrinsic antiviral immune signaling of HSV-1-infected microglia/microglia-like cells in the thalamus. In accordance with this phenotype, we observed several TMEM119⁺/IBA-I⁺ microglia/microglia-like cells immunostained for HSV-1 in highly infected regions. Conclusions A new microglia/microglia-like state may potentially shed light on how microglia could react to HSV-1 infection. Our observations suggest that infected microglia/microglia-like cells contribute to an exacerbated CNS inflammation. Further characterization of this transitory state of the microglia/microglia-like cell transcriptome may allow the development of novel immunomodulatory approaches to improve HSE outcomes by regulating the microglial immune response.

description: Endomembrane transport system begins at the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), continues to the Golgi apparatus and subsequent compartment called trans-Golgi network (TGN). We found that SUT2, a tobacco sucrose-transporter ortholog and was localized in the TGN, decreased significantly under a sucrose-starvation condition. The tobacco SNARE protein SYP41, localized in the TGN and secretory vesicle cluster (SVC), also decreased under the starvation. Similarly, the SCAMP2-RFP fusion protein, which is localized in TGN, SVC, and plasma membrane (PM), was distributed solely in the PM under the starvation. Under the same starvation condition, protein secretion was not arrested but pectin deposition to cell wall was suppressed. These data indicated that the protein composition in TGN and existence of the SVC are regulated by sugar availability. Furthermore, our findings as well as the involvement of SVC in pectin secretion suggested that synthesis and transport of pectin are regulated by the level of extracellular sugars.

description: The lactic acid bacterium Tetragenococcus halophilus, which is used as a starter to brew soy sauce, comprises both cluster-forming strains and dispersed strains. The cluster-forming strains are industrially useful for obtaining clear soy sauce, because the cell clusters are trapped by filter cloth when the soy sauce mash is pressed. However, the molecular mechanism underlying cell cluster formation is unknown. Whole genome sequence analysis and subsequent target sequence analysis revealed that the cluster-forming strains commonly have functional defects in N-acetylglucosaminidase CseA, a peptidoglycan hydrolase. CseA is a multimodular protein that harbors a GH73 domain and six peptidoglycan-binding LysM domains. Recombinant CseA hydrolyzed peptidoglycan and promoted cell separation. Functional analysis of truncated CseA derivatives revealed that the LysM domains play an important role in efficient peptidoglycan degradation and cell separation. Taken together, the results of this study identify CseA as a factor that greatly affects the cluster formation in T. halophilus. In Tetragenococcus halophilus, putative N-acetylglucosaminidase CseA contributes to daughter cell separation, whereas functional defects in CseA cause cell cluster formation.

description: The financial industry and stock market analysis have been significantly reshaped by digital advancements, fostering remarkable growth and innovation. This transformation has been accelerated by the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) and the increasing demand for sophisticated computational power across various industries. A prime example of this shift is the rapid growth of semiconductor giants like Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) and Nvidia Corporation, both of which have seen notable increases in stock prices and market share. This project investigates the application of Reinforcement Learning (RL) in automating investment strategies within financial markets. By focusing on AMD and Nvidia, the study explores the implementation of RL algorithms, including policy networks and deep Q-networks, to optimise stock trading and investment decisions. The project aims to identify robust RL approaches that enhance decision-making by maximising returns while effectively managing market complexities and volatility, through simulations of real-world scenarios and comprehensive market data.

description: Richtiges Lüften in Bildungseinrichtungen, allen voran in Schulen, ist bis heute ein Problem. Man schafft es angesichts der oft vorhandenen hohen Schülerzahlen, der räumlichen Gegebenheiten sowie der Länge der Unterrichtseinheiten kaum noch, durch konsequentes Lüften in den Pausen für einen ausreichenden Luftaustausch zu sorgen, der auch in der darauffolgenden Unterrichtsstunde eine gute Raumluftqualität gewährleistet. Der Kohlendioxidgehalt der Luft (jeder Mensch atmet Kohledioxid aus) stellt einen sehr guten Gradmesser für die "verbrauchte" Luft in Klassenzimmern und die Notwendigkeit des Lüftens dar. Es muss in vielen Schulgebäuden auch während des Unterrichtes gelüftet werden. Besser ist es, wenn von vorn herein eine Grundlüftung über eine mechanische Lüftungseinrichtung erfolgt und zusätzlich in den Pausen über die Fenster gelüftet wird. Diese so genannte "hybride Lüftung" ist künftig der hygienisch und technisch anzustrebende Standard bei Neubauten oder umfangreicher Sanierung von Unterrichtsgebäuden. Die folgenden Empfehlungen beschreiben, was zu tun ist. Quelle: https://www.umweltbundesamt.de

description: Diet behaviour is influenced by the interplay of the physical and social environment as well as macro-level and individual factors. In this study, we focus on diet behaviour at an individual level and describe the design of a behaviour change artefact to support diet behaviour change in persons with type 2 diabetes. This artefact was designed using a human-centred design methodology and the Behaviour Change Wheel framework. The designed artefact sought to support diet behaviour change through the addition of healthy foods and the reduction or removal of unhealthy foods over a 12-week period. These targeted behaviours were supported by the enabling behaviours of water consumption and mindfulness practice. The artefact created was a behaviour change planner in calendar format, that incorporated behaviour change techniques and which focused on changing diet behaviour gradually over the 12-week period. The behaviour change planner forms part of a behaviour change intervention which also includes a preparatory workbook exercise and one-to-one action planning sessions and can be customised for each participant.

Authenticity in contemporary museum practices: relationships between people, place and time
Creators: name: Gradusova, Daria
Publisher: name: Swinburne

description: The thesis explores the concept of authenticity in museums, focusing on the perspectives of both visitors and curators. It highlights the lack of emphasis on visitors' collective undersatnding and experience of museums' authenticity and museum professionals' perspectives. The research aims to bridge this gap by including both the views of visitors and curators on authenticity in 'non-purpose-built' museums with multi-leyerd histories. The study adopts a qualitative approach to investigating how the notion of authenticity is understood by visitors and curators providing a people-perspective of this complex idea. The findings suggest that the experience of authenticity in 'non-purpose-built' museums is shaped by intangible aspects of heritage, linking visitors to a sense of place through temporal relationships and relatable stories. The thesis argues that curatorial strategies can create or emphasise authenticity and visitors connection to the site, and museum teams play a crucial role in this process. It provides an empirical foundation for further investigation into authenticity in curatorial practices and visitor experience design, indicating how museums can leverage authenticity in their interpretative practices.

description: Seit Juni 2008 sind die Malediven formal eine Demokratie. Der neue Präsident Mohamed Nasheed, selbst Opfer des früheren autoritären Regimes, kann in diesem Zusammenhang als eine Schlüsselfigur innerhalb des demokratischen Reformprozesses im südasiatischen Inselstaat betrachtet werden. Dabei setzt er gerade im Klimadiskurs sein Land auch international auf spektakuläre Art und Weise in Szene. Ferner haben die Malediven unter Nasheed den Sprung aus der Gruppe der am wenigsten entwickelten Länder (Least Developed Contries, LDCs) geschafft. Neben all diesen positiven Entwicklungen lassen sich jedoch ebenso das Erstarken eines radikalen Islam sowie innenpolitische und wirtschaftliche Instabilitäten ausmachen. Vor diesem Hintergrund nimmt der vorliegende Artikel eine Bestandsaufnahme nach knapp drei Jahren Demokratie in den Malediven vor.
