Creating meaning in the face of bereavement, an adult child’s perspective

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This dissertation offers my personal exploration of the loss of my father through the eyes \nof multiple selves. Utilizing an arts-inspired autoethnographic narrative case study \napproach, I detail my journey of meaning making as I explore my personal transitions \nand self-discovery in the face of my bereavement, while also uncovering the potential \nfor growth and development within my relationship with my dad. Throughout this \ndissertation, I incorporate a variety of mediums to capture the essence of the experience \nof my filial bereavement. Through this synthesis of form, it is my goal to invite \nwitnesses to enter my experience, to have the opportunity to explore a different way of \nknowing by being able to look through the eyes of my multiple experiencing selves and \ntheir presentation of emotion, thought, and behaviour. Through blending of genre, this \nstudy provides a unique way of exploring a lived experience. It is meant to provide a \nspecific view of a broad topic from multiple angles. Though it is situated within my \npersonal bereavement, a daughter’s loss of her father, and inevitably my story will \ndemonstrate the cultural influence of my Canadian background, it also aims to touch on \naspects of the universality of loss, of bereavement, and what it means to be alive.
Differential Effectiveness of Applicant Impression Management Tactics on Employment Interview Decisions1

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

It has been a commonly held belief for some time that applicants attempt to manage impressions of interviewers in the employment interview process, but only recently have researchers begun to examine systematically the tactics applicants use, and how effective they are. The present study contrasted two sets of impression management tactics used by applicants and observed their effects on interviewer decisions in a controlled laboratory experiment. An applicant who employed self‐focused‐type impression management tactics was rated higher, received more recommendations for a job offer, and received fewer rejections from business students, who had just completed an interviewer training program, than when he used other‐focused‐type tactics. The implications of these results in terms of both theory and practice are discussed.
Simple modular system "iSES Remote Lab SDK" for creation of remote experiments accessible from PC, tablets and mobile phones: Workshop

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

The goal of this workshop is to introduce open modular hardware and software system "iSES Remote Lab SDK" (iSES — internet School Experimental Studio) designed for easy creation of real remotely controlled laboratories (RCL) that are accessible from PC, tablets and mobile phones. Open modular system iSES Remote Lab SDK consists of approx. 20 freely distributable JavaScript objects in commented source code. Widgets are highly configurable and provide many well documented options and allow to build a complex measurement and control interface with data and video transfer. Open modular system iSES Remote Lab SDK can communicate with different measurement platforms (ISES, Arduino are ready; CMA CoachLab, Vernier etc. are tested), and also common universal measurement devices with a COM or USB port, further universal rotation and linear motion stepper motors, etc.). We will demonstrate our 18 online advanced remote labs accessible at www.ises.info. All participants of the workshop will receive a fully functional lite version of the iSES Remote Lab SDK for Arduino-Uno so they can try to control a physics experiment remotely, download data and process it. Any user may have an access to the RCL on PC and mobile devices (iPad, smart phone, etc.) as well. The workshop participants will build and test several Arduino-Uno Remote experiments by putting selected components of the iSES Remote Lab SDK together, which includes assembling both hardware and software components in a custom way so that any user can control the experiment remotely. Even non-programmers can build up a simple RCL and publish it in 15 minutes on the Internet! We introduce a new measurement system ISES-LAN which is based on Internet of Things.
English Cleft Sentence and Split Projection

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This paper studies analytic approaches of English cleft sentence, particularly cleft constituents. Whether they are base-generated in the main clause or moved from the cleft clause has ever been the main subject of argument. In this paper I accept the latter contention and introduce Park(1996)`s OSHA based upon split projection on the analysis of English cleft sentences. If we assume Park(1996)`s OSHA as the available theory, English cleft construction can have more explanatory power to analyze cleft constituents consistently.
Integrated Management Strategies (Diagnosis, Treatment, and Wound Care Management) for Improved Clinical Outcomes of Buruli Ulcer in Ghana: A Retrospective Case Report in the Ga West Municipal Hospital, Amasaman

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Buruli ulcer is a necrotizing skin infection caused by Mycobacterium ulcerans. BU lesions may start with characteristic painlessness but most often, the typical presentations of the disease are characterized by large ulcers with undermined edges. If left untreated, BU lesions may result in extensive ulceration that can cover 15% of the body. Even though public sensitization and education have resulted in sufficient and improved knowledge about the etiology of the disease in Ghana, patients still report to health facilities with advanced forms of the disease.

Growth of thermophilic bacteria in rapemeal‐derived media

Field: Immunology and Microbiology (Life Sciences)

K.H. YEOMAN AND C. EDWARDS. 1992. A clarified, soluble, protein‐rich medium was developed from rapemeal by boiling with 0·1 mmol/1 NaOH. The medium contained 78% of the original meal protein and supported the growth of a range of thermophilic micro‐organisms that included Bacillus, Streptomyces and fungi. Amino acid analysis of the medium showed a full range of amino acids, and that acidic ones such as glutamate predominated. Growth of a thermophilic Bacillus spp. (termed 1/15) in the medium was biphasic and significant amounts of extracellular protease were synthesized during the scond growth phase. Biphasic growth was probably due to preferential utilization of free amino acids during the first phase of growth followed by degradation of proteins during the second phase.
The production of Olympic champions: international perspectives on elite sport development systems

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The paper explores national elite sport development systems in Europe (UK, France, Spain), North America (Canada, USA) and Australia and discusses the move towards, and the applicability of, a homogeneous elite sport development model. Since 1990, and the dissolution and fragmentation of the former communist states, the use of elite sport development strategies and sport institute networks has increased. Using study visits, interviews and a comprehensive review of secondary sources the paper demonstrates similarities in national elite development strategies and accounts for any national differences. In support of this aim, the efficiency of the six selected countries in producing Olympic medals in relation to population size over the last four Olympiads is investigated and significant 'focusing events' for each country identified.
Principle Component Analysis-Gradient Descent localization algorithm for Wireless Sensor Network

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Due to the latest progress in wireless communication, wireless sensor nodes (WSN) are being used in many real world applications. To find the location of WSN, when we have only proximity information between the nodes, is the difficult task. However, we have massive number of localization algorithms, each of them using different approach to get the final location. For robust fashion and noise sparse network, Principle component analysis (PCA), is one of that techniques which work good even with less number of anchor nodes. The proposed work addresses the problem of location discovery of nodes based on the combination of PCA and Gradient Descent (GD) method. In this paper we use PCA to find the initial estimated position of nodes and proposed GD as a refinement algorithm for final position.
The role of iodine in thyroid function and iodine impact on the course of Hashimoto’s thyroiditis - review

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Introduction: Iodine is one of the most important micronutrients necessary for the proper functioning of the thyroid gland. It is an essential component of thyroxine and triiodothyronine, hormones produced and secreted by the thyroid gland. Severe iodine deficiency impairs thyroid hormone synthesis and can lead to gland enlargement. This deficiency results in various disorders collectively termed iodine deficiency disorders. Not only iodine deficiency but also excess iodine intake can be harmful and affect thyroid function. Doses of iodine above physiological levels can result in both hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism. Numerous studies have linked chronic high iodine intake to an increased frequency of autoimmune thyroiditis. This review examines the mechanisms of iodine regulation and the role of excess iodine can play in the development of Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. Aim of the study: The aim of the study is to present and summarize the role of iodine in thyroid function and its impact on the course of Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. This review explains the potential increased risk of thyroid autoimmune disorder connected with iodine over-supplementation. Materials and Methods: For this current literature review, the important studies published from 1986-2024 in PubMed database was searched. The literature available in the PubMed database was reviewed with the following keywords: iodine, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, autoimmune thyroiditis. Conclusion: Iodine is crucial for thyroid health and fetal development, but its excessive intake can be harmful. Maintaining optimal levels of this microelement is essential to prevent both iodine deficiency and autoimmune disorders. Iodine supplementation is recommended only for pregnant and lactating women.
Optical photon reassignment microscopy (OPRA)

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Abstract To enhance the resolution of a confocal laser scanning microscope the additional information of a pinhole plane image taken at every excitation scan position can be used (Sheppard 1988). This photon reassignment principle is based on the fact that the most probable position of an emitter is at half way between the nominal focus of the excitation laser and the position corresponding to the (off centre) detection position. Therefore, by reassigning the detected photons to this place, an image with enhanced detection efficiency and resolution is obtained. Here we present optical photon reassignment microscopy (OPRA) which realizes this concept in an all-optical way obviating the need for image-processing. With the help of an additional intermediate optical beam expansion between descanning and a further rescanning of the detected light, an image with the advantages of photon reassignment can be acquired. However, just as in computational photon reassignment, a loss in confocal sectioning performance is caused by working with relatively open pinholes. The OPRA system shares properties such as flexibility and ease of use with a confocal laser scanning microscope, and is therefore expected to be of use for future biomedical routine research.
A development and application of GIS in Whanganui Catchment based river environment classification system : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master in Resource and Environmental Planning, Massey University

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

This thesis concerns a development and implementation of Geographical Information System (GIS) for the New Zealand Whanganui catchment, based on a new methodology for river environment classification systems in New Zealand. The Ministry for the Environment (MfE) and National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (NIWA) are developing this system with assistance from regional councils. The river habitat classification is sometimes called river "ecotyping". It describes the process of dividing rivers into similar or different physical classes based on the habitat requirements of the plants and animals that live there (Murray McLea, 1999). This project focuses on generating a Digital Terrain Model (DTM) for the Whanganui river catchment to determine Whanganui catchment boundaries and a series of hydrology parameters such as catchment patterns and channel slopes, etc. It comprises layers of elevation, rainfall, geology, land-cover and additional ecotyping related attributes for classification of each arc of the Whanganui River. There are five sections in this thesis. The first section introduces the basic concept of hydrology in environmental and ecological aspects. It reviews the hydrology model with GIS and DTM. It also briefly describes the river environment classification system – ecotyping methodology. Finally, it describes the aims and achievements of this project. The second section focuses on the ARC/INFO software environment, using different ways to generate the DTMs and present criteria that will be used to test and analyse the accuracy of DTMs. Also the Whanganui catchment and catchment boundaries will be determined. The third section focuses on the river analysis. The main target is to test whether the 1: 50000 topographic data can be used to determine the channel slope and channel sinuosity for river sections other than reaches (Snelder et al. 1999). The fourth section describes the method of using ecotyping parameters and classification rules to classify each arc of the river into a database. These rules are introduced in the article "Further development and application of a GIS based river environment classification system" (Snelder et al. 1999). The last section as a conclusion of the thesis will summary the achievements, the methodology of the processing and the results of the application of this research.
Tight junctions and IBS ‐ the link between epithelial permeability, low‐grade inflammation, and symptom generation?

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract In this issue of N eurogastroenterology and M otility, Dr Ewa Wilcz‐Villega and colleagues report low expression of E‐cadherin, a tight junction protein involved in the regulation of paracellular permeability, in the colonic mucosa of patients with the irritable bowel syndrome ( IBS ) with predominance of diarrhea ( IBS ‐D) or alternating symptoms ( IBS ‐A). These findings constitute an improvement in our knowledge of epithelial barrier disruption associated with IBS . There is mounting evidence to indicate that a compromised epithelial barrier is associated with low‐grade immune activation and intestinal dysfunction in at least a proportion of IBS patients. During the last 10 years of research, much interest has focused on the increase in the number of different types of immune cells in the gut mucosa of IBS patients including: mast cells, T lymphocytes, and other local cells such as enteroendocrine cells. The inflammatory mediators released by these cells or other luminal factors could be at the origin of altered epithelial barrier functions and enteric nervous system signaling, which lead to gut hypersensitivity. A current conceptual framework states that clinical symptoms of IBS could be associated with structural and functional abnormalities of the mucosal barrier, highlighting the crucial importance of elucidating the contributory role of epithelial barrier defects in the pathogenesis of IBS . More importantly, disruption of the epithelial barrier could also participate in the generation of persistent abdominal pain and discomfort mimicking IBS in patients with inflammatory bowel diseases considered in remission. This mini review gives a brief summary of clinical and experimental evidence concerning the mechanisms underlying epithelial barrier defects in IBS .
Assisted reproductive technologies for male factor infertility.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Experience in the diagnosis and treatment of infertility has led to an increased understanding of the prominent role male factors play in many couples' inability to conceive. While many forms of male factor infertility are amenable to treatment, for some patients there is no corrective therapy available. For this reason, a great deal of attention has been focused on developing technologies for semen processing and sperm utilization in cases of decreased semen quality. One area of research is the development of more sophisticated methods of assessing sperm function, as well as methods of sperm preparation. Progress is also being made in the application of technologies such as intrauterine insemination and in vitro fertilization in the treatment of male factor infertility. Such developments have improved prospects for fertility among patients suffering from decreased semen quality, as well as those suffering from such disorders as ejaculatory failure and congenital vasal agenesis. Current research also offers promise for future applications such as gamete micromanipulation. This technology holds potential for improving fertility even among patients suffering from profound male factor disorders. The following is a summary of recent publications pertaining to the application of these assisted reproductive technologies in the management of male factor infertility.
Autoantibodies against Muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptor on Exocrine Glands in Sjögren Syndrome

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

These investigations demonstrate that serum antibodies against muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChR) in primary Sjögren syndrome (pSS) and associated Sjögren syndrome (aSS) bind and activate both cholinergic receptors of M3 in salivary gland and M1 in neonatal myocardium and in the cerebral frontal cortex area subtypes; triggering the production of the second messengers and proinflammatory mediators related to mAChR activation. In this way the cholinergic autoantibodies damages these receptors, which thus starts acting as an antigen. On this basis M3 and M1 mAChR IgG can be considered new markers of pSS/aSS allowing the differentiation between dry eye and mouth of autoimmune and non-autoimmune nature. Given that cholinergic autoantibodies also deregulate the parasympathetic system of the target organs, they can also be seen as a new factor contributing to the etiopathology of the syndrome.
Canada faces the prospect of a public-sector strike

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Significance Employees at the Canada Revenue Agency voted for strike action last week, setting the scene for a potential showdown between the government and as many as 300,000 workers. Any strike action would be not only disruptive but politically divisive. Impacts With tax returns due on April 30, any disruption to their processing would delay government revenue collection. Strike action risks triggering public anger towards the unions, whose members are widely considered to be well rewarded. Conservatives will blame the governing Liberal party for any strikes while emphasising that they themselves would not negotiate. A prolonged disruption to non-critical government services has the potential to affect the Canadian economy.
