Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This chapter provides a review of the research evidence on the effectiveness of educational interventions aimed at improving the outcomes of children in out-of-home care (OOHC). The focus is limited to educational interventions during the school years focused specifically on children in OOHC that have educational outcomes. The chapter looks first at systemic interventions involving whole-school approaches before considering the individual interventions targeting children in OOHC specifically and then those interventions targeting their foster carers. Finally, the implications from the evidence reviewed for policy and practice are drawn out. 'Case study' illustrations are provided and some discussion questions are provided at the end of the chapter.
Studying the effect of nutrient fertilizers on agronomical and biological yieldof wheat (CV Alvand)

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

In order to examine the effect of applying fertilizers containing iron, Zinc and copper on the quantitative characteristics of Alvand wheat,an experiment consisted of eight fertilizer treatments, including control, zinc, iron, copper , mixture of iron and copper , iron and zinc mixture , the mixture of copper and zinc and a mixture of all three, was done in a randomized completely block design with three replications was conducted, in Yasouj, Iran in 2011. Iron , zinc and copper from the solephate sources and each of them was added to the soil at planting time in the amount of 30 kg/ha and others with a concentration of one in thousand were sprayed in three stages of tillering, stem elongation and flowering. By applying Zn solephate, the number of spike per area increased as 110 spike and 1000 grain weight as 1.4 gr at the level of 1%. There was no significant differences between other treatments. By applying Zn- HI, the harvesting index increased by 1.7% at 5% probability level, however the difference between other treatments, compared to control were not significant compared to control. In terms of the number of grains per spike, a significant difference was obtained between the two treatments using mixtures of pure iron and iron and copper. This difference could be due to the antagonistic effect of iron and copper in absorption to the plant. The results indicated that Zn had a significant effect on grain yield. This means that by using it at 5% level ,the yield was 1450 kg per hectare. Also, applying Zn had a significant effect at 5% level on the biological yield of wheat. This means that its application led to 2700 kg per hectar yield.
Computation Offloading and Resource Allocation for Digital Twin-empowered Mobile Edge Computing

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Mobile-edge computing (MEC) has been introduced as a promising paradigm to provide computing resources to resource-limited devices. Currently, most of the research consider static computation offloading and resource allocation in MEC, while ignoring the impact of mobility of mobile users (MUs). In this paper, we propose an algorithm to optimize the task offloading and resource allocation in Digital Twin (DT)-empowered MEC system in two steps. First, to obtain stable offloading choices, we propose an innovative algorithm for predicting stable association of MU and edge node (EN) pairs assisted by DT to enhance users’ experience. Second, taking into account the contention for resources and the constraints of offloading tasks, we construct an incentive mechanism based on reverse-auction and design an unit-revenue-based algorithm to maximize the overall revenue of MUs’ side. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm can improve the task offloading success rate and the overall system utility, thus show the the effectiveness of our algorithm.
A thousand years of human impact in the northern Scandinavian mountain range: Long-lasting effects on forest lines and vegetation

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

The vegetation history has been examined by pollen, microscopic and macroscopic charcoal analyses in the vicinity of two alpine Stállo settlement sites and one forested ‘Reference area’ with no settlement remains in northwestern Sweden in the northern part of the Scandinavian mountain range. The acquired data provide indications of the effects of human activities on local vegetation during the settlement phase, and on ecological processes in both long- and short-term perspectives. The results show that one settlement site, Gieddeålge, was established just above the forest line in the Betula treeline zone, and the other, Varenodjukke, in the Betula forest. At Gieddeålge an increase in herbs and graminoids appears to have occurred c. 700 cal. BP (during the thirteenth century) suggesting that the vegetation was altered by nutrient addition, most likely related to human activities associated with the settlement. At Varenodjukke, the Betula trees around the settlement were cut down and the site developed into an alpine heath dominated by Betula nana, which still characterizes the site today. In the Reference area evidence of changes to the vegetation probably caused by human impact was also found from c. 3500 to 700 cal. BP. In conclusion, the vegetation currently present at Gieddeålge and Varenodjukke has been strongly influenced by previous human activities, which have clearly had profound effects, both short and long term, on the composition of the vegetation and the properties of the ecosystems in these areas. Further, when studying processes, such as anticipated global warming that will influence future patterns of vegetation in these forest-line areas, legacies of land use must be taken into consideration.
Clergy as Public Actors

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Abstract This chapter begins with an analytical consideration of those factors that contribute to the political significance of clergy: their strategic position in society, the distinctive nature of the organizations they lead, the nature of the authority they possess, the resources at their disposal, and the opportunities they enjoy. The second section discusses the different roles that can be assumed by pastors (i.e., private citizen, religious professional, and pastor of a local congregation) and argues that it is in their capacity as pastors of local congregations that clergy collectively enjoy their greatest political potential. Clergy typically engage in public life through either direct action or political cue-giving, with political cue-giving being the primary means by which clergy seek to influence their parishioners. The final section of the chapter then discusses the role of cues in democratic theory.
Lattice Tower Design of Offshore Wind Turbine Support Structures

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Optimal design of support structure including foundation and turbine tower is among the most critical challenges for offshore wind turbine. With development of offshore wind industry heading for deeper ocean areas, new support structural concept such as a full lattice tower could be proven to be more advantageous than others when consideration of cost, safety and even environment aspects, etc are taken into. This thesis first gave introduction of present industrial applications of hybrid support structural concept combing a lattice foundation and monotower in relatively deep water areas before the presenting and introduction of challenges with the transition piece component. Conceptual model of transition piece design for a full lattice tower support structure proposal was discussed extensively which included consideration of structural form, functional requirement, mechanical condition, etc. A mechanical model of transition piece with regards to boundary condition and load conditions was also provided. Design and analysis of two different types of transition piece models under various load conditions were performed during preliminary design and with conclusion drawn, a refined final design of transition piece model for the full lattice tower support structural concept which has also included more practical aspects was assessed through investigation of its performance under varying load conditions and different load cases. This refined final design was found to be the most optimal design fulfilling all relevant requirements at a comparable structural cost. Conclusion and recommendation was therefore given in the last part. This thesis work is serving for a novel proposal of support structural concept for future offshore wind industry and relevant present experience is in fact nonexistent. The work applied present industrial information of hybrid support structure as basis along with consideration of offshore wind turbine structural and operational mechanism and their respective requirement. Structural analysis of transition piece design was conducted by means of finite element analysis technique and structural load conditions were simulated through up-to-date numerical modeling code for offshore wind turbine structure. Due to absence of relevant verification sources, advice and correction of the thesis content is much appreciated.
Supplementary Material for: Key prognostic factors create a composite risk score to stratify patients into high- and low treatment benefit groups: A multicenter, retrospective data analysis of 84 mCRC patients treated with regorafenib as part of the CORRECT and CONSIGN trials

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Introduction: In further-line mCRC treatment, median progression-free survival (PFS) is rather short, and many patients do not benefit from any anti-tumor treatment and should therefore treated according to best-supportive care (BSC). A risk score based on standard laboratory values using markers of tumor inflammation aims to define a patient cohort with high treatment benefit and might offer insights into tumor biology. As regorafenib has been dropped off the German market due to an unfavorable risk-benefit ratio, patient selection is key for any further-line treatment option. Methods: We used cox regression analysis to determine lab markers that are independent prognostic factors of OS and PFS outcome. The influence of these variables was weighted using an estimator, which was calculated using cox regression analysis. The estimators were implemented as multiplication factors, resulting in a risk score. A cut-off value for the resulting risk values was then determined via cox regression analysis resulting in a low- and high-risk subgroup. Results: Using data of 82 patients, a risk score identifying long-term survival in patients with last line mCRC treatment could be calculated. The following parameters were associated with significantly longer survival in multivariate analysis: NLR ≤ 5 (p = <0.001), AP ≤200 U/L (p = 0.001), CRP ≤3.2mg/dl (p = <0.001). The following estimator values were used to calculate a risk score: NLR: 0.132 (p=0.046), AP: 0.004 (p=0.014), and CRP: 0.032 (p=0.039). Implementing the estimators as multiplication factors yielded the following risk score: 0.132*NLR + 0.004*AP + 0.032*CRP = Risk value. Cox regression resulted in low- and high-risk subgroups with risk values below and above 1.4, respectively. In the group with a low-risk score (<1.4), patients had a median OS of 10.5 months after initiating regorafenib. Patients with a high-risk score (>1.4) survived only 3.3 months after starting therapy with regorafenib (n=43, p<0.001, HR=3.76). Discussion/Conclusions: The presented composite risk score stratifies patients into two prognostic subgroups characterized by standard laboratory values. Patients with signs of systemic characterized by elevated NLR, AP, and CRP have a high composite risk score and a significant shorter overall survival. Although this score needs to be prospectively validated in larger cohorts, it may be used to stratify patients suitable for further-line treatment studies.
CROSSTALK BETWEEN UBIQUITINATION AND ADP-RIBOSYLATION IN THE MAINTENANCE OF MITOCHONDRIAL HOMEOSTASIS

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

Abstract Oxidative stress and increased ROS production, as observed in aging and obesity, commonly lead to the accumulation of mitochondrial dysfunctions. This is met by the activation of a robust mitochondria-to-nucleus stress response promoting the rewiring of nuclear gene expression to limit cellular and tissue damage and promote organelle adaptation. Here we will review previous work uncovering the transcriptional cofactor G-Protein Pathway Suppressor 2 (GPS2) as a mediator of mitochondria retrograde signaling and a key nuclear regulator of nuclear-encoded mitochondrial genes, including mitochondrial chaperones/proteases, mitokines, and other protective enzymes such as the ADP-ribosyltransferase NEURL4. We will also discuss unpublished work showing that shuttling of GPS2 between organelles plays a role in coordinating the transcriptional and translational regulation of antioxidant factors and pro-apoptotic genes by promoting the ubiquitination of mitochondria-associated translation factors.

Black spruce boreal forest soil solution inorganic nitrogen is highly resilient to 20 years of elevated nitrogen deposition

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

Abstract Soil solution is the liquid phase of soil containing nutrients that are essential for vegetation’s health and growth. As such, soil solution chemistry is directly related to nutrient cycling and productivity in forest ecosystems. However, the long-term impacts of elevated N deposition on boreal forest soil solution composition remain uncertain. In this study, we investigate the effects of two decades of ammonium nitrate addition applied at rates of 3 (LN treatment) and 10 (HN treatment) times the ambient N deposition on soil solution collected weekly during the snow-free period at a black spruce boreal forest site located in eastern Canada. We show that N addition corresponding to 60 years (LN treatment) and 200 years (HN treatment) of accelerated ambient N deposition had nearly no important nor lasting impacts on soil solution NO 3 − and NH 4 + concentrations. This reveals that N deposition will most likely not significantly impact Canadian boreal forests soil solution inorganic N concentration in the future. Based on these results and along with NOx emissions data measured globally in North America and on NO 3 –N deposition recorded at our experimental forest site, it is also likely that N deposition never affected Canadian forests’ soil chemistry in the past, even at the peak of N emission in North America in the 70 s. Our results indicate a surprisingly strong and widespread resilience of the eastern Canadian boreal forest soil solution chemistry and inorganic N content to long-term N deposition. This resilience can be partially explained by an important N-limitation in high-latitude forest ecosystems.
Perborate Activated Peroxymonosulfate Process for Improving the Coagulation Efficiency of Microcystis aeruginosa by Polymeric Aluminum Chloride

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

In this study, the sodium perborate (SP)-activated peroxymonosulfate (PMS) process was used to enhance the coagulation efficiency of cyanobacteria with polymeric aluminum chloride (PAC), aiming to efficiently mitigate the impact of algal blooms on the safety of drinking water production. The optimal concentrations of SP, PMS, and PAC were determined by evaluating the removal rate of OD680 and zeta potential of the algae. Experimental results demonstrated that the proposed ternary PMS/SP/PAC process achieved a remarkable OD680 removal efficiency of 95.2%, significantly surpassing those obtained from individual treatments with PMS (19.5%), SP (5.2%), and PAC (42.1%), as well as combined treatments with PMS/PAC (55.7%) and PMS/SP (28%). The synergistic effect of PMS/SP/PAC led to the enhanced aggregation of cyanobacteria cells due to a substantial reduction in their zeta potential. Flow cytometry was performed to investigate cell integrity before and after treatment with PMS/SP/PAC. Disinfection by-products (DBPs) (sodium hypochlorite disinfection) of the algae-laden water subsequent to PMS/SP/PAC treatment declined by 57.1%. Moreover, microcystin-LR was completely degraded by PMS/SP/PAC. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) analysis evidenced the continuous production of SO4•−, •OH, 1O2, and O2•−, contributing to both cell destruction and organic matter degradation. This study highlighted the significant potential offered by the PMS/SP/PAC process for treating algae-laden water.

Central Venous Access Devices (CVADs) and Peripherally Inserted Central Catheters (PICCs) for Adult and Pediatric Patients: A Review of Clinical Effectiveness and Safety

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Central venous access devices (CVADs) or central venous catheters (CVCs) are devices that are inserted into the body through a vein to enable the administration of fluids, blood products, medication and other therapies to the bloodstream. CVADs can be inserted into the subclavian or jugular vein (implanted ports, tunneled catheters), or can be inserted into one of the peripheral veins of the upper extremities, called peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs).While generally safe, CVADs can be associated with complications such as catheter occlusion or rupture, venous thrombosis, and bloodstream infection. A number of strategies have been used to minimize the occurrence of CVAD- and PICC-associated complications such as antimicrobial-impregnated lines for prevention of infection, or addition of a valve (valved catheters) to prevent occlusion by preventing reflux of blood into the catheter. Flushing the catheters with saline or heparin – an agent with anticoagulant activity - have been used to reduce clot formation and occlusion of the catheters.This Rapid Response report is an update of the previous CADTH reports which found no difference in terms of frequency of occlusion in patients who had a valved versus a non-valved PICCs, and similar patency between heparin and saline use for CVCs., This report aims to review the evidence on the clinical effectiveness of valved versus non-valved PICCs, and saline versus heparin flushing in the maintenance of CVADs patency and reduction of complications.
Molecular design of novel indacenodithiophene‐based organic dyes for efficient dye‐sensitized solar cells applications

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

Abstract Indacenodithiophene (IDT)‐based high‐efficiency photovoltaics have received increasing attention recently. This paper reports a density functional theory investigation of the electronic and optical properties of three IDT‐based organic dyes together with the dye/(TiO 2 ) 46 interface. In order to enhance the photoelectric properties of IDT dyes, this paper considers two methods for the structure modification of the experimentally reported dye DPInDT (J. Org. Chem. 2011, 76, 8977): the extension of the conjugation length by dithienothiophene as well as the heteroatom substitution of the bridging atoms by electron‐rich nitrogen atoms. Our calculations show that both methods obviously affect the distributions of the molecular orbitals and notably red shift the absorption peaks of around 20 nm, with the former method demonstrating enhanced light harvesting efficiency. The structure modifications proposed also enhance the emission spectrum properties for IDT‐based organic dyes. The calculated ultrafast injection time of electrons from the excited state of IDT dyes to the (TiO 2 ) 46 belongs to the femtosecond order of magnitude, and is ideal for efficient photoelectric conversion process in dye‐sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) applications. The IDT dyes designed in this paper have good electronic and spectroscopic properties. This study is expected to provide useful guidance for the development of novel IDT dyes for applications in DSSCs.
Bounding the A-hat genus using scalar curvature lower bounds and isoperimetric constants

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

In this paper, we prove an upper bound on the $\widehat{A}$ genus of a smooth, closed, spin Riemannian manifold using its scalar curvature lower bound, Neumann isoperimetric constant, and volume. The proof of this result relies on spectral analysis of the Dirac operator. We also construct an example to show that the Neumann isoperimetric constant in this bound is necessary. Our result partially answers a question of Gromov on bounding characteristic numbers using scalar curvature lower bound.
Mutation in the CAV3 gene causes partial caveolin-3 deficiency and persistent elevated levels of serum creatine kinase

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Mutations in the caveolin-3 (CAV3) gene are associated with autosomal dominant limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD1C). The authors report a novel sporadic mutation in the CAV3 gene in two unrelated children with persistent elevated levels of serum creatine kinase (hyperCKemia) without muscle weakness. Immunohistochemistry and quantitative immunoblot analysis of caveolin-3 showed reduced expression of the protein in muscle fibers. Our data indicate that a partial caveolin-3 deficiency should be considered in the differential diagnosis of idiopathic hyperCKemia.
Crystal structure and magnetic properties of Gd–Cu substituted M-type Sr-hexaferrites synthesized by the co-precipitation method

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

The hexagonal strontium ferrites doped with diverse molar ratio of gadolinium and copper (Sr1−xGdxFe12−xCuxO19, x = 0.00, 0.05, 0.10, 0.15 and 0.20) were prepared by the co-precipitation method. X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) were employed to analyze the phase structure, morphology and magnetic performance, respectively. The samples with x from 0.00 to 0.10 were confirmed to a single magnetoplumbite phase, and the impurity phases were detected when the content of dopants x ≥ 0.15. The surface morphology of Sr1−xGdxFe12−xCuxO19 presented hexagonal shape and revealed average grain size increased with the increasing Gd–Cu substitution amount. With the increase of doping amount x, the saturation magnetization (Ms), remanent magnetism (Mr) and coercivity (Hc) firstly increase, and then decrease. When x was 0.10, the Hc arrived at 7203.42 Oe.
