Confident and competent?: helping students to develop their practice based skills

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

The Competence in Practice Assessment (CiPA) Tool was designed and developed to support student self-assessment in a social care or health setting. It is one of many artefacts created as part of the Centre for Excellence in Teaching and Learning called ‘Assessment and Learning in Practice Settings’. Demonstration of competence is essential for courses leading to professional registration. This presentation will chart the development and evaluation of the CiPA tool into responsive software that students can self complete at stages throughout their course: In doing this we demonstrate how a research project became the springboard for the development of student centred learning and teaching innovation. 14 students from a range of health and social work courses, who responded to a job advertisement, worked in multiprofessional collaborative groups to design feedback, reflective prompts and resource links in response to students’ self assessment ratings. This was then built into a simple software package by a computing placement student. \nThe result is that students complete the tool [with potential for PC, web or Mobile access] by assessing their perception of their own competency at their current stage in the course. The software provides them with feedback designed to support their own assessment and suggest actions: this is confidential and thus a safe activity, but linked to Personal Development Planning and so able to be incorporated into their record of professional growth, preparation for further placement experience and readiness for qualification. Taking responsibility for one’s own learning, and developing self assessment skills are parts of becoming a competent practitioner in any profession; thus whilst the questions as they stand relate to health and social care professions, the design principles apply to any placement experience, leading to opportunities for creative development of the tool.
Dynamic Measurement of Spindle Errors of CNC Machine Tools by Capacitive Sensors During Aircraft Parts Machining

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

The work presents characteristics and practical application of Spindle Error Analyzer, an innovative bespoke diagnostic system, designed for precision measurement of spindles used in high-precision Computerized Numerical Control - CNC machining centres, dedicated to aircraft parts machining. Ultra-precise and high-speed spindles constitute one of the most expensive elements of the CNC machine tool. Their control, diagnostics and proper use should be the matter of utmost importance at any production plant. Dynamic diagnostics of spindles is possible partly due to spindle error analyzers. Static measurements, conducted at low or zero speed, have become inadequate for the determination of the tilt of the spindle, which behaves considerably different in dynamic conditions, when the rotational speed amount to considerable values. The synchronous and asynchronous error motions and radial runout measured at high RPM enables, indirectly, evaluation of bearings condition, backlash, insufficient stiffness or unbalance. Literature analysis indicates that, however important, geometric accuracy of the machining tool alone does not ensure high precision of aircraft parts machining, as spindle error motion is of great significance.
[Construction and analysis of a genetic linkage map of soybean].

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

A high-density genetic map was constructed with a RILs population (NJRIKY) from a cross of two cultivated soybean Kefeng 1 and Nannong 1138-2, using RFLP, SSR, RAPD and AFLP markers. The map consists of 24 linkage groups, which include 792 genetic markers, and covers 2,320.7 cM with an average genetic distance of 2.9 cM. The higher polymorphsims between two parents were identified with SSR markers. Due to its simplicity and stability, they could be used as anchored marker to integrate different maps constructed with different genetic markers. AFLP marker system is efficient for map construction while it easily form clusters to cause big gaps in the map. A total of 21.7% of markers was found with distorted segregation in the RILs population. The high-density molecular linkage map is fundamental for gene localization, comparative genomics, and QTL mapping of important agronomic traits.
Physico-chemical properties of rapeseed after different treatments of air drying temperature and storage

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

This paper presents a three year research conducted on the seeds of 6 rapeseed cultivars (Alaska, Bristol, Express, Eurol, Lirajet and Silvia) from primary production to storage. After the soil taken from the district of Daruvar was analyzed, it was submitted to the identical cropping intensity, with the goal of achieving a higher yield. The harvesting was conducted on the same day of the year for all cultivars and the basic physical and chemical properties (mass of 1000 seeds, water and oil content, and content of free fatty acids (FFA)) were determined before storing. The drying was conducted in laboratory drier at the 1.0 m/s air velocity and three different air temperatures, namely 40, 60 and 80oC. After drying, the rapeseed seeds were stored and the influence of storage conditions on the quality of seeds in rapeseed was determined, namely on the oil and free fatty acids content, which are the two most important rapeseed quality parameters. The rapeseed seeds were stored in three conditions: in storage facility with controlled atmosphere (with temperature of 4°C and 10°C and relative air moisture about 70%) and in storage facility without atmosphere control. During a one year storing period, the samples' mass was monitored monthly while oil content, FFA content and seed moisture in cultivars were determined. Storing in conditions without atmosphere control showed that the samples' mass varied, while the sample storing in controlled atmosphere showed variations in sample mass with minor oscillations during the whole storing period, which resulted with lower FFA content in comparison with the samples stored without atmosphere control. The oil content after storing in facility without atmosphere control decreased, while the FFA content after storing in the same conditions rose in all seeds samples. In conclusion, storing in controlled atmosphere showed better results in rapeseed quality. .
Treatment of rheumatoid synovitis of the knee with intraarticular injection of dysprosium 165‐ferric hydroxide macroaggregates

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract One hundred eight knees of 93 patients with seropositive rheumatoid arthritis and persistent synovitis of the knee were treated with an intraarticular injection of 270 mCi of dysprosium 165 bound to ferric hydroxide macroaggregate. Leakage of radioactivity from the injected joint was minimal. Mean leakage to the venous blood 3 hours after injection was 0.11% of the injected dose; this corresponds to a mean whole body dose of 0.2 rads. Mean leakage to the liver 24 hours after injection was 0.64% of the injected dose; this corresponds to a mean liver dose of 3.2 rads. In 7 additional patients examined, there was negligible or near negligible activity found in the draining inguinal lymph nodes. One‐year followup was possible for 74 knees (63 patients). Sixty‐one percent of the knees had good results, 23% had fair results, and 16% had poor results. There was a direct correlation between the radiographic stage and response to treatment. In knees with stage I radiographic changes, 72% showed good results; 93% showed improvement. In knees with stage II changes, 59% showed good results; 81% showed improvement. These preliminary results indicate that dysprosium 165‐ferric hydroxide macroaggregate is an effective agent for radiation synovectomy. The low leakage rates observed offer a definite advantage over agents previously used.
Augmented Lagrangian Pattern Search Based Multi‐Agent Model Predictive Control of Rhine‐Meuse Delta

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Abstract In Large Scale Systems the concept of centrality fails due to the lack of centralized computing capability. The control of such systems has to be performed using multiple control agents. In this case, the matter of interactions among neighboring subsystems needs to be considered. In this paper, a water control system in the Netherlands is studied as a real large scale system. A multi‐agent scheme is applied to control the flow through the system which is decomposed into two interconnected subsystems. Each agent employs a model‐based predictive control (MPC) technique. The model of this large scale system is nonlinear and nonconvex. Therefore, an augmented Lagrangian pattern search optimization algorithm is used to implement multi‐agent MPC for this system. This proposed algorithm is applied by each control agent to solve its own interconnected optimization problem, at each subsystem of whole the water system. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
Bio-Inspired Surface Modification of Magnetite Nanoparticles with Dopamine Conjugates

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

Organically-coated nanomaterials are intensively studied and find numerous applications in a wide range of areas from optics to biomedicine. One of the recent trends in material science is the application of bio-mimetic polydopamine coatings that can be produced on a variety of substrates in a cost-efficient way under mild conditions. Such coatings not only modify the biocompatibility of the material but also add functional amino groups to the surface that can be further modified by classic conjugation techniques. Here we show an alternative strategy for substrates modification using dopamine conjugates instead of native dopamine. Compared to the classic scheme, the proposed strategy allows separation of the “organic” and “colloidal” stages, and simplified identification and purification steps. Modification with pre-modified dopamine made it possible to achieve high loading capacities with active components up to 10.5% wt. A series of organo-inorganic hybrids were synthesized and their bioactivity was analyzed.
High-Durability Cellulose-Based Composite Paper with Superior Electromagnetic Interference Shielding

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

Highly efficient electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials are critical for portable hardware and flexible electronics, where mechanical durability often poses challenges. Here, the excellent wear resistance and flexibility of thermoplastic polyurethane are utilized to provide a "protective layer" for EMI equipment. A carbon nanotube/cellulose/thermoplastic polyurethane (CNT/paper/TPU) composite paper with a three-layer structure was prepared using a coating method. Strong hydrogen bonds between CNTs, cellulose, and TPU ensured robust integration. The composite, with a thickness of 0.54 mm and conductivity of 1040 S/m, achieved exceptional EMI shielding effectiveness of 69.0 dB. It demonstrated durability against water, solvents, bending, and friction while maintaining shielding performance. Furthermore, its excellent mechanical properties and fatigue resistance significantly enhance equipment lifespan. Therefore, it is expected that this work will open a simple strategy for developing materials with excellent durable EMI shielding properties.
John Selden

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This chapter focuses on John Selden's Table Talk, which serves as sufficient monument to an extraordinary jurist and which contains a myriad of insights into a cosmos of contemporary concerns. Each heading in its alphabetical arrangement bears witness to abundant knowledge and to a lively intelligence, and, moreover, demonstrates the skepticism that provides balance even in the most hotly contested arena of ideas. The irreverence with which almost all religious matters are treated serves as an antidote to the toxin of contemporary reverences doing battle as prophecies armed. The majesty of the law comes in for very subtle diminution, as its imperfections are revealed, and the useful and oft-ignored contributions of other legal systems noticed. Selden's ruminations also reflect an age of unusual turmoil and crisis, in which accepted notions, practices, arrangements, and beliefs were fundamentally challenged and ideas were forged that move us to this day.
Movement of forest‐dependent dung beetles through riparian buffers in Bornean oil palm plantations

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

Abstract Fragmentation of tropical forests is increasing globally, with negative impacts for biodiversity. In Southeast Asia, expansion of oil palm agriculture has caused widespread deforestation, forest degradation and fragmentation. Persistence of forest‐dependent species within these fragmented landscapes is likely to depend on the capacity of individuals to move between forest patches. In oil palm landscapes, riparian buffers along streams and rivers are potential movement corridors, but their use by moving animals is poorly studied. We examined how six dung beetle species traversed riparian buffers connected to a continuous forest reserve area within an oil palm plantation in Sabah, Malaysian Borneo. We used a mark–release–recapture study and a new Bayesian Joint Species Movement Modelling (JSMM) approach, extended to a continuous capture process model. Dung beetle species were fairly generalist in their habitat use, but two species showed a statistically supported preference for riparian buffer forest over oil palm, and one species showed a strong preference for forest reserve over riparian buffer, indicating the importance of forested areas within oil palm landscapes for some species. A land‐use change simulation indicated that the loss of riparian buffers in oil palm will result in reduced movement by forest‐dependent species. Synthesis and applications . Our results provide evidence for the use of riparian buffers in oil palm plantations for forest‐dependent dung beetle species, strengthening the case for their retention, restoration and re‐establishment. Furthermore, our study demonstrates the wider applicability of the Joint Species Movement Modelling (JSMM) framework to assess movement behaviour of species in fragmented landscapes, a vital tool for future forest and landscape management and conservation prioritisation exercises.
ORAL HEALTH AND DENTAL CARE AMONG OLDER ADULTS IN DIVERSE POPULATIONS: ANALYSES OF LARGE COHORT DATA

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Abstract Using large cohort surveys, this symposium includes five studies examining the linkages between oral health and systemic conditions, and social and behaviors factors affecting oral health and dental care utilization in older adults. The first study used the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (ELSA) and analyzed the effect of changes in self-rated dental conditions on memory among adults age 51+. This study also examined the mediation effect of stroke on this relationship. Using the same data (ELSA), the second study examined the longitudinal relationships between cognitive function and changes in diabetes and oral health status. Results showed that participants with co-occurrence of diabetes and poor oral health had an accelerated decline in cognitive function over the study period. The third study was conducted among 8,744 adults age 51+ using data from the Health and Retirement Study over a 10-year period. The authors found that social isolation had a significant effect on dementia onset and that both dental visits and tooth status had a mediating effect on the association. The fourth study analyzed the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey from 2009-2016 and found that individuals with cognitive impairment had a significantly lower probability of annual dental visits. Using data from the Population Study of Chinese Elderly in Chicago collected between 2017-2019, the fifth study found that spousal support was significantly associated with a lower likelihood of having any dental visit. Findings illustrate the importance of understanding how different aspects of social relationships might play a role in dental care use.
Children’s education and the struggle for social change

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This chapter presents a conceptual analysis of social class, radical education and the role of children's education in social change. First, it argues that the move towards understanding social inequality through the terminology of 'disadvantage' and 'exclusion' fundamentally delimits the analysis of social power. In response, this chapter develops a reflexive understanding of social class, which can attend to the inter-related dynamics of gender and race inequality and oppression. Second, bringing together analyses of critical social theory with the social history of radical education, Gerrard sets out a general orientation to mobilising the concept of emancipation for radical education. Finally, drawing upon Gramsci's notion of counter-hegemony, this chapter considers Nancy Frasers' conception of counter-publics as a possible means to understand the relationship of children's education to radical social change.
‘The Triumph of the Will’: The German Expressionist Body c. 1905-1945 and the Philosophy of Arthur Schopenhauer.

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This thesis explores depictions of the human body in German Expressionist art and the ways in which they might be interpreted through Arthur Schopenhauer’s philosophy. It is inspired by Franz Marc’s claim that, in Schopenhauer’s terms, the world as will took precedence over the world as representation in his own day. \nDiscussion begins with an assessment of Vasily Kandinsky’s development of abstract art in relation to Schopenhauer’s philosophy of the world as representation. Here attention is given to Kandinsky’s personal reading of Schopenhauer’s doctrine of vision and colour. Chapter 2 explores depictions of dance in Expressionism, where the body is considered to be an objectification of the will. Discussion is negotiated through a case study of the work of Emil Nolde. In addition to the body in movement, the theme of the naked body was also central to Expressionist ideology and practice. Hence, Chapter 3 engages in an interpretation of Expressionist depictions of the naked body according to Schopenhauer’s doctrine of the Platonic ideas and the world as representation. \nThe outbreak of war in 1914 presented the Expressionist generation with new challenges. Chapter 4, therefore, examines the military experiences of selected Expressionist artists in order to assess their affirmation or denial of the will to war. The final chapters of the thesis reflect upon the relationship between Expressionism and the emergent Nazi regime in the 1930s. Chapter 5 takes as its theme an exploration of ‘degenerate art’ and ‘degenerate’ bodies in relation to the artist Otto Mueller and his depiction of gypsies, according to Schopenhauer’s moral philosophy. Finally, Chapter 6 investigates Emil Nolde’s association with Nazism and offers a new interpretation of these associations according to Schopenhauer’s doctrine of free will. In conclusion, the thesis demonstrates that Marc’s claims were broadly valid throughout this period but not without exception. \n
Preliminary Analysis of Oil Shale Obtained from Kalynkara in Kazakhstan

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

Oil shale obtained from Kalynkara in Kazakhstan was investigated by powder XRD, XRF, SEM, TG-DTA, and EA. The XRD profiles indicated that the oil shale contained quartz (major component), CaSO4·2H2O, and Mg4Al2(OH)12CO2·H2O as minerals. The amount of organic matter in the oil shale was determined by TG-DTA and was approximately 19 wt% based on the weight loss in the temperature range of 473-823 K. Moreover, the H/C ratio determined by EA and TG-DTA was 0.86, indicating that the structure of the organic matter was similar to that of coal. We attempted to extract the organic matter from the oil shale in decalin at 373-623 K, but no significant amount of products was obtained.
Gallstone disease as a clinical marker of metabolic syndrome

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The prevalence of cholelithiasis, its close pathogenetic connection with metabolic syndrome, high frequency of surgical intervention, significant economic losses put forward this comorbid pathology in a number of leading problems of modern clinical medicine. The factors associated with the metabolic syndrome not only increase the risk of developing cholelithiasis, but also form the basis of non-drug and drug therapy. Metabolic syndrome often determines the occurrence of three common and potentially life-threatening complications of cholelithiasis: acute cholecystitis, acute cholangitis and biliary pancreatitis. Therefore, the solution of this problem is associated with the need for early detection of additional risk factors for cholelithiasis, optimization of the early diagnostic and prognostic model of existing multi-organ pathology with the aim of reducing the progression of the disease and its complications. The data obtained in recent years on the human genome with metabolic syndrome and cholelithiasis make it possible to predict the development of comorbid pathology and to fully ensure the effectiveness of primary prevention.
Noninvasive biomarkers to guide intervention: toward personalized patient management in prostate cancer

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Prostate cancer (PCa) is one of the most frequently diagnosed malignancies worldwide and is associated with high mortality. Broad screening through prostate-specific antigen analysis, along with an aging and growing population has resulted in a vast increase in PCa incidence. As not all PCa forms are life threatening, personalized management is of paramount importance to preserve survival and quality of life for the diagnosed patients. Owing to the complexity of PCa, noninvasive biomarkers for diagnosis, stratification and monitoring, are essential to tailor intervention among patients with different disease manifestations. In this article, we aim to provide a critical assessment of the reported noninvasive biomarkers for PCa and their applicability according to the targeted clinical context. For this purpose, a systematic review of the literature published within the last five years was performed, focusing on noninvasive biomarkers to guide initial and repeated biopsies, stratify for active surveillance, monitor biochemical recurrence and metastasis, and adjust treatment for metastatic castration resistant PCa. Evidence from clinical trials on novel drugs and latest technological advancements, indicate several clinical applications for biomarkers to tailor intervention throughout PCa progression, toward a more personalized medicine approach in PCa clinical management.
Miami Cuban Spanish Declarative Intonation

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Abstract The current study is a phonetic description and phonological analysis, using the Autosegmental Metrical (AM) theory of intonational phonology, of broad focus (neutral) declarative utterances in the Spanish of three generations of Miami Cubans. No differences were found across these three generations indicating the maintenance of a robust intonational pattern for declarative utterances. The prenuclear (non-final) pitch accent is analyzed to be L*+H and the nuclear pitch accent is L+H*. This phonological analysis is similar to what has been found for many other varieties of Spanish. A high rate of deaccenting, however, was observed in conjunction with the final lexically stressed syllable. The prevalence of deaccented final stressed syllables is unique to what has been found for other Spanish varieties.
