NUANCING NORTHERN MIDDLE ENGLISH: SCRIBAL LANGUAGE AND VARIATION IN NORTHERN MANUSCRIPTS OF THE PRICKE OF CONSCIENCE

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This thesis investigates the concept of the Northern Middle English dialect area as largely homogenous, taking its core data from four Northern manuscripts of the devotional poem, the Pricke of Conscience. Due largely to a lack of localised manuscripts from this region, the NME area has been little-studied. A Linguistic Atlas of Late Mediaeval English is an invaluable resource for the dialectologist, but where anchor texts are lacking, it cannot form a sole basis for study. This thesis approaches dialect study in the region from a different angle, compiling and comparing linguistic data from its core manuscripts to determine what variation can be observed. Each manuscript is also considered in its codicological and sociolinguistic context, using scribal behaviour as a means of illuminating the possible provenances of manusctipts and their language types. Finally, the data is considered alongside similar information from edited texts from this region, to place it in its proper context and examine what patterns of variation emerge. The findings of this thesis show a greater range of variation across the NME region than traditional descriptions would indicate. The variation attested demonatrates that some features previously held to be 'non-northern' or anomolous are, in fact, organically and consistently in use in this area. This study identifies and describes five language varieties observable within NME. The combination of textual and codicological evidence enables suggestions to be made about the identity of several of the scribes examined, connecting language varieties to occupation and possible provenance. This thesis presents a more nuanced, heterogeneous picture of the NME region, which may serve as a basis for further study in the area.
Pengaruh Model Pembelajaran Think Pair Share (TPS) terhadap Kemampuan Berpikir Kritis Peserta Didik dalam Konsep Al-Qur’an Hadits di Kelas VII Pondok Pesantren Diniyah Limo Jurai

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The low level of critical thinking skills among students at Ponpes Diniyah Limo Jurai serves as the background for this study, which is attributed to the predominance of conventional teaching methods such as lectures and passive discussions. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of the cooperative learning model Think Pair Share (TPS) in improving students’ critical thinking abilities. A quasi-experimental method was employed using a posttest-only with nonequivalent groups design. A total of 52 seventh-grade students were randomly divided into two groups: experimental and control, each consisting of 26 students. Data were collected through questionnaires and documentation, and analyzed using normality and homogeneity tests, as well as hypothesis testing with the assistance of SPSS version 30. The results show a significance value (sig-2 tailed) of 0.038 < 0.05, indicating that the application of the TPS model has a significant effect on enhancing students’ critical thinking skills. This finding is supported by observation results showing noticeable improvement in critical thinking during the learning process. Thus, the TPS model is proven to be effective in improving students' critical thinking in Qur’an Hadits instruction. The study implies the need to adopt active learning models such as TPS in the context of Islamic boarding school education.
[Significance of in-vitro studies ofr the evaluation of gastrointestinal motility].

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

To study the function of the smooth muscles taken from the gastrointestinal tract the simple organ bath or various superfusion techniques can be used. With the aid of these methods it is possible to measure contractile and electrical phenomena of the isolated muscles. In addition the reactivity to various stimuli can be tested. Such in-vitro-systems elucidate principal questions of physiology, pathophysiology, and pharmacology. However, there is no direct clinical significance of in-vitro-investigations of gastrointestinal motility up til now. The clinical benefit of such investigations can be seen in the better understanding of the pathophysiology and in the discovery of new drugs in the field of gastrointestinal motility.
Does Data Matter? Exploring how nonprofits working with abuse victims in Edmonton utilize data to inform service delivery

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This study explores data collection and utilization at four non-profit service organizations in Edmonton, Alberta. Participating organizations work with female victims of violence, abuse and exploitation. Through in-depth, semi-structured interviews, I explore the types of data collected at each organization, the reasons behind data collection, and how information is utilized in decision-making. I also analyze organizations’ client paperwork, data management software, and annual reports. Finally, I supplement this study by conducting a statistical analysis of a quantitative dataset obtained from one of the participating organizations. The results of this study are contextualized via Resource Dependence and Rational Choice Theories. The findings suggest that non-profit organizations in Edmonton allocate significant resources to collecting, documenting, analyzing and storing client data. This includes demographic information, information about service provision, qualitative feedback, wellness assessments, and historical narratives. Data is collected to help organizations manage daily activities, inform their practice, satisfy funder requirements and obtain additional funding. However, I argue that organizations face significant barriers to collecting and managing their data. Organizations lack the financial and human resources required to effectively manage client data. As a result, organizations are restricted in their ability to utilize client data in decision-making. Therefore, organizations predominantly rely on easily-accessible sources of information such as staff observations, client feedback, and anecdotal evidence. They are largely unable to make full use of their quantitative data. Yet quantitative data can be greatly beneficial to organizations’ decision-making practices. This research suggests several solutions to addressing organizations’ current barriers related to incorporating quantitative data into decision-making.
The level of consciousness development and positivity as integrating indicators of human characteristics

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

The study addresses the issue of indicators by which it is advisable to evaluate people from the point of view of how they differ not in general, but what exactly allows them to achieve different levels of life results. A person and his or her consciousness are considered as information systems that develop throughout life by changing software. It is proposed to accept the level of development of consciousness and its positivity as the most general indicators of consciousness, the human soul. Moreover, the level of development reflects not only the information component, but also the energy disclosed and accumulated by the soul, its strength, the possible power and speed of the consciousness as the main part of the soul. The level also determines the possible complexity of decisions made by a person. It is based on aspirations, followed by knowledge, qualities, habits, abilities, and talents. The level of development of consciousness reflects not only the content of information, but also the skill of its presentation, the energy of the soul, and its power. Positivity is seen as the degree to which the available information and energy comply with the laws and ideals of the Cosmos (the Universe, the World, the Creator). In essence, it is the quality of realization of the laws of relations - to oneself, to others (relationships) and to the surrounding World. In this sense, positivity shows how thinking and actions comply with the laws of spirituality, revealing the correlation in the mind between correct beliefs and false ones, in other words, the distinction and realization of the principles of good and evil. Positivity is based on a system of values. A person chooses the appropriate system of values - in essence, he or she chooses the beliefs, the state in which he or she lives, and the fate that corresponds to them. The peculiarity is that values differ by levels of development. A particular person's value system can be positive, negative, or mixed, and it can be appropriate to the level or not. Assessment of the soul by these indicators allows a person to understand himself (his soul) and others, build relationships correctly, and avoid mistakes and disappointments as a result of unmet expectations. The article suggests areas of application of integral human characteristics in the education system. The first place should be given not only to information that broadens the horizons and forms a general idea of the world, but also to knowledge that forms the spiritual core of a person, universal values, strength of mind and body, and shapes a Human with a capital H - a personality in the highest sense.
Durability and Surface Oxidation States of Antiviral Nano-Columnar Copper Thin Films

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

Antiviral coatings that inactivate a broad spectrum of viruses are important in combating the evolution and emergence of viruses. In this study, nano-columnar Cu thin films have been proposed, inspired by cicada wings (which exhibit mechano-bactericidal activity). Nano-columnar thin films of Cu and its oxides were fabricated by the sputtering method, and their antiviral activities were evaluated against envelope-type bacteriophage Φ6 and non-envelope-type bacteriophage Qβ. Among all of the fabricated films, Cu thin films showed the highest antiviral activity. The infectious activity of the bacteriophages was reduced by 5 orders of magnitude within 30 min by the Cu thin films, by 3 orders of magnitude by the Cu2O thin films, and by less than 1 order of magnitude by the CuO thin films. After exposure to ambient air for 1 month, the antiviral activity of the Cu2O thin film decreased by 1 order of magnitude; the Cu thin films consistently maintained a higher antiviral activity than the Cu2O thin films. Subsequently, the surface oxidation states of the thin films were analyzed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy; Cu thin films exhibited slower oxidation to the CuO than Cu2O thin films. This oxidation resistance could be a characteristic property of nanostructured Cu fabricated by the sputtering method. Finally, the antiviral activity of the nano-columnar Cu thin films against infectious viruses in humans was demonstrated by the binding inhibition of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein to the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 receptor within 10 min.

Facile Direct Coupling Reactions of MOM‐protected Benzylic Alcohols Using Aluminum Chloride

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

MOM group is one of the most commonly used protecting groups for alcohols. This study describes novel direct functionalization of the MOM‐protected benzylic alcohols. Preparation of allylic compounds from benzyl MOM ethers was successfully achieved by utilization of allyltrimethylsilane and AlCl 3 . In addition, direct azidation of benzyl MOM ethers using TMSN 3 was successful carried out under AlCl 3 ‐mediated reaction conditions. These results demonstrate that this novel synthetic procedure is a promising approach to direct functionalization of MOM‐protected alcohols including allylation and azidation.
Native Structure Protects\nSUMO Proteins from Aggregation\ninto Amyloid Fibrils

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

SUMO proteins belong to the Ubiquitin-like protein family,\nall\nsharing a common fold and a similar mechanism of conjugation to target\npolypeptides. SUMO is ubiquitous in all eukaryotes and participates\nin many crucial pathways. Native SUMO proteins are highly soluble,\na property that is exploited in biotechnology. Moreover, SUMO regulates\nthe solubility of aggregation-prone proteins in neurodegenerative\ndisorders. Despite these properties, we show here that human SUMO1,\nSUMO2, and SUMO3 proteins are at risk of aggregation into amyloid\nstructures if their native conformation is perturbed. Aggregation\nis mediated by specific regions, which overlap with SUMO functional\ninterfaces, illustrating a competition between function and aggregation.\nAggregation of SUMOs might have important physiological implications\nbecause disruption of the SUMO pathway is lethal in different organisms.\nIt appears that functional constraints make it difficult to avoid\nthe competition between productive folding and deleterious aggregation\nin globular proteins, even for essential polypeptides.
RESPONSE OF MALLARD DUCKLINGS TO VARIATION IN HABITAT QUALITY: AN EXPERIMENT OF FOOD LIMITATION

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Occurrence of Mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) pairs and broods was studied on 86 boreal lakes in two areas in south Finland during 1988–1997 (35 lakes) and 1989–1996 (51 lakes), and field experiments were conducted to determine whether food limitation is an important factor regulating population densities. In general, pairs and broods used and avoided the same lakes, but in both study areas, the proportion of lakes that were unoccupied every year was higher for broods (71% and 69%) than for pairs (26% and 31%). We hypothesized that lakes without breeding Mallards, and especially broods, were too poor to raise young in, and we tested that in field experiments on 22 lakes in boreal Sweden. Based on concentration of total phosphorus in the water, these lakes were divided into two groups: 11 "poor" lakes and 11 "rich" lakes. Mallard ducklings imprinted on humans were used to address brood-stage food limitation by studying mass change. Thirty-one individually marked ducklings were divided into three experimental groups: 12 ducklings were used in poor lakes, 12 ducklings in rich lakes, and 7 ducklings were used as controls receiving no experimental treatment in the field. Each group was studied in 11 daytime trials on 11 different lakes, except the control group which was kept in a pen with free access to food. Ducklings of all groups spent nights together as a big 31-individual group in the same pen and with free access to food. Ducklings foraging on poor lakes gained significantly less body mass than those feeding on rich lakes. At night, when ducklings of both groups had equal and free access to food, ducklings that had been feeding in a poor lake that day gained more mass than those that had been feeding in a rich lake. Overall, ∼95% of daily mass gain was accounted for by daytime gain in the control group, the corresponding percentage was 35% in the rich-lake experimental group and 11% in the poor-lake experimental group. Thus, we have observational, as well as experimental, evidence to conclude that many boreal lakes are inferior breeding habitat for Mallards, especially during the brood stage. Our results suggest (1) that it is important to recognize at what stage of the yearly reproductive cycle food limitation may occur, (2) that brood stage may be more important than nesting stage for possible population limitation and regulation in breeding Mallards, and (3) that the reason why so many lakes in the boreal region lack breeding Mallards may be food limitation.

Gait Cycle Recognition based on Wireless Inertial Sensor Network

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

This paper presents a method of recognizing gait cycle based on Wireless Inertial Sensor network. The wireless inertial sensor network is embedded in shoes with accelerometers and gyroscopes to measure inertial signal during walking. In gait analysis, gait cycle is one of the most important parameters. Based on gait cycle, we can easily calculate the step continuity, step regularity, step symmetry and so on. Especially for lots of diseases estimation, such as Parkinson's disease, the accurate time of step is a very important parameter. The commercial pedometer, which can simply give the counts of gait, cannot give the accurate time of gait cycle. Based on shoes embedded with inertia sensor, we develop one method using peak detection of combined inertia sensor signal. Experimental results show the method has less error and high precision.
Artificial intelligence model of fuel blendings as a step toward the zero emissions optimization of a 660 MWe supercritical power plant performance

Field: Energy (Physical Sciences)

Abstract Accurately predicting fuel blends' lower heating values (LHV) is crucial for optimizing a power plant. In this paper, we employ multiple artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning‐based models for predicting the LHV of various fuel blends. Coal of two different ranks and two types of biomass is used in this study. One was the South African imported bituminous coal, and the other was lignite thar coal extracted from the Thar Coal Block‐2 mine by Sind Engro Coal Mining Company, Pakistan. Two types of biomass, that is, sugarcane bagasse and rice husk, were obtained locally from a sugar mill and rice mill located in the vicinity of Sahiwal, Punjab. Bituminous coal mixture with other coal types and both types of biomass are used with 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, and 50% weight fractions, respectively. The calculation and model development procedure resulted in 91 different AI‐based models. The best is the Ridge Regressor, a high‐level end‐to‐end approach for fitting the model. The model can predict the LHV of the bituminous coal with lignite and biomass under a vast share of fuel blends.

ImmunogenIcity of thE PandemRIX A (H1N1) 2009 Influenza vaccine in hemodialysed and renal transplanted patients

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Swine-origin pandemic human influenza A(H1N1)2009 rapidly spread around the world since its initial reporting on the 25th of April 2009. To counter the virus, different vaccines were developed. In Belgium, the Pandemrix vaccine of GSK was used. Part of the Belgian population was vaccinated, especially those belonging to risk groups (immunodepressed patients, healthcare providers, patients with chronic disease, pregnant women….). In general, vaccine immunogenicity is less effective in immunodepressed patients than in immunocompetent patients.

In this study the immunogenicity of the Pandemrix vaccine was investigated by measuring neutralizing antibodies against A(H1N1)2009 in sera collected from immunocompetent and immunodepressed patients such as hemodialysed and renal transplanted patients. In total 32 healthy volunteers (control group), 106 hemodialysed patients and 112 renal transplanted patients were recruited. Neutralizing antibodies were measured in sera collected before (day 0) and 1 month after a single shot vaccination (day 30) using a seroneutralisation (SN) assay followed by an immunoenzyme colorimetric reaction to detect influenza A(H1N1)2009 antigen in infected cells. Geometric mean (GM) titers were determined at subject level by individual GM of quadruplicates at each time point. Individual and group level titer ratios (day 30/day 0) with 95% confidence intervals were determined as well.

The GM titer ratio for the healthy control group was 38 (23-62). For the dialysed patients, the GM titer ratio was 11 (8-17) and for the group of renal transplanted patients, the GM titer ratio was 5 (3-6). Differences in GM titer ratio between the healthy control group and each group of immunodepressed patients were significant (p<0,05; T test). Thirty out of 32 healthy participants (93%) had at least four-fold increases in SN titers between day 0 and day 30 (seroconversion). Among dialysed participants, 64 out of 106 (60%) had at least four-fold increases in SN titers between day 0 and day 30, and among renal transplanted patients, 49 out of 112 participants (44%) seroconverted between day 0 and day 30. Differences in seroconversion rates between the healthy control group and each group of immunodepressed patients were significant (p<0.05; fisher exact test).

These results suggest that only 60% of dialysed individuals developed sufficient neutralizing antibody titers after immunization with this vaccine. As for renal transplanted patients, only 44% of the patients developed sufficient neutralizing antibody titers after vaccination. Alternative vaccines, dosing, adjuvants or schedule strategies are needed to achieve effective immunization of these vulnerable populations.
