A review of the aquatic Mollusca from Lake Pamvotis, Ioannina, an ancient lake in NW Greece.

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

Lake Pamvotis (= Lake Ioannina) is an ancient lake in NW Greece famous for its long geological record, which has furnished some of the most detailed palaeoclimate records from Europe. Unlike some other Balkan lakes, which exhibit spectacular faunal radiations, Lake Pamvotis (and its surrounding habitats) supports just two (but maybe up to five) endemic gastropods but is the type locality for two other valid species of aquatic molluscs and for two taxa now regarded as junior synonyms. It was also an important locality where Schlfli collected specimens later described by Mousson in 1859. These shells, now in Zrich Museum, have been revised as part of a new study of the aquatic fauna of the lake. Four species represented in this collection are not otherwise known from Greece, raising the suspicion that shells from different localities have become mixed. The status of a further two species, known elsewhere in Greece, remains unclear since they have not been re-discovered at Ioannina. A systematic review is given of the 29 species of gastropod and 8 species of bivalve now known from Lake Pamvotis and its surrounding marshlands and springs. Trichonia trichonica is reported from only its second known site and Pisidium obtusale and Gyraulus cf. piscinarum are recorded from Greece for the first time. Illustrations of critical taxa are presented. Planorbis janinensis is transferred to the genus Gyraulus. Eight species of mollusc have been recovered from Holocene sediments beneath the lake; the records for four of these can be traced back to at least 200,000 years. Dreissena stankovici seems to have been present at Ioannina throughout the Quaternary.
Justice Under Microscope: Analysing Mandarin Chinese Markers in Virtual Courtroom Discourse

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

As codified in professional guidelines, professional interpreters should faithfully interpret everything that has been said exactly as the original speakers. In other words, court interpreters are expected to adequately interpret both the content and the manner of original utterances into their pragmatic equivalence to the best of their knowledge. However, little has been known about the court interpreters’ accuracy in rendering the manner of speech in remote settings in non-European languages. The present paper reports initial findings from a larger experiment research study that assesses Australia-based professional interpreters’ accuracy in interpreting discourse markers and speech style in court-related remote settings. This paper focuses on the way in which discourse markers were used by the Mandarin Chinese-speaking defendant in courtroom examination answers and interpreted by practitioners. Mandarin Chinese markers ‘呗(bēi)’, ‘啦(à)’, ‘啊(a)’, ‘吧(bā)’ and ‘嘛(mà)’ were analysed using a collection of models of markers in Mandarin Chinese. A general disregard for discourse markers was found in remote settings, as reflected by omissions, mistranslation and moderations of illocutionary forces, particularly the use of the monotone in practitioners’ renditions of some attitudinal markers in Mandarin Chinese. Such disregard may have further implications for the accuracy of court interpreting in remote settings. The findings of the present study intend to inform future interpreter education and contribute to interprofessional collaboration between interpreting service users and providers.

Depth profiling for ultrashallow implants using backside secondary ion mass spectrometry

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

We studied accurate depth profiling for ultrashallow implants using backside secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS). For measuring ultrashallow dopant profiles such as 200 eV B implantation profiles, the effects of surface transient and atomic mixing are not negligible. We applied backside SIMS to analyze ultrashallow doping in order to exclude these effects. Comparing the SIMS profiles of surface side and those of backside, backside SIMS profiles showed a shallower ion implantation tail than surface-side SIMS profiles. Furthermore, backside SIMS profiles showed almost no dependence on primary ion energy. This indicates that backside SIMS provides sharp B profiles suitable for analyzing ultrashallow implants, even in the case where higher primary ion energy is used in comparison with implantation energy. The backside SIMS technique has a good potential to be used for the development of next-generation devices.

Advanced nurse practitioner well‐being: A 4‐year cohort mixed methods study

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Abstract Aims To examine changes in advanced nurse practitioner (ANP) well‐being, satisfaction and motivation over a four‐year period. Design Longitudinal Cohort study. Methods Surveys were carried out each year from 2019 to 2022 with the same cohort of ANPs in the United Kingdom (UK). The survey consisted of demographics, questions on contemporary issues in advanced practice, National Health Service (NHS) staff survey questions and validated questionnaires. A core set of questions were asked every year with some changes in response to the COVID‐19 pandemic. Results Response rate ranged from 40% to 59% and appeared to be affected by COVID‐19. Staff satisfaction with pay and the well‐being score were stable throughout. Other questions on well‐being, job satisfaction and motivation saw statistically significant reductions after 4 years. Open‐ended questions about ongoing well‐being concerns show participants are concerned about exhaustion levels caused by workload, staffing issues, abuse from patients and colleagues' mental health. Conclusion The findings highlight a decline in ANP well‐being, job satisfaction and motivation post‐COVID‐19. Reasons for this, explored in the qualitative data, show that ANPs have faced extremely difficult working conditions. Urgent action is required to prevent a workforce retention crisis as many nursing staff are close to retirement and may not be motivated to remain in post. Impact This study has followed ANPs through the most challenging years the NHS has ever seen. Job satisfaction, motivation and enjoyment of the job all significantly reduced over time. In many areas, the ANP role has been used to fill medical workforce gaps, and this will become harder to do if ANPs are dissatisfied, disaffected and struggling with stress and burnout. Addressing these issues should be a priority for policymakers and managers. Patient or public contribution None as this study focussed on staff. Staff stakeholders involved in the design and conduct of the study.
Association of Tissue Promoter Methylation Levels of APC, RASSF1A, CYP26A1, and TBX15 with Prostate Cancer Progression

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Aberrant promoter methylation is known to silence tumor-suppressor genes in prostate cancer. Using a quantitative real-time PCR assay(MethyLight), I determined promoter methylation levels of APC, RASSF1A, CYP26A1 and TBX15 in 219 radical prostatectomies diagnosed between 1998-2001, examined their correlation with clinicopathological follow-up data including Gleason Pattern(GP), Gleason Score(GS) and pathological stage, and explored their potential in predicting biochemical recurrence(BR) using univariate and multivariate analyses. \nI demonstrated that methylation status of all four genes could accurately differentiate normal from cancerous tissues. Quantitative methylation levels of APC and TBX15 correlated strongly with GP, GS, and pathological stage. Both APC and TBX15 methylation levels could significantly predict BR in univariate analysis(p-value=0.028 and 0.003, respectively). The methylation profiles of APC and TBX15 combined could discriminate patients into high, intermediate, and low risk groups of BR(p-value=0.005). \nMy project demonstrated that quantitative increase in promoter methylation levels of APC and TBX15 were associated with PCa progression.
Democratization and Child Mortality Can democratic reform improve the situation for the children of the current generation

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The Millennium Development Goals call for a two-thirds reduction in under-five mortality rate. Can democratic reforms contribute to this goal? The focus of previous studies has mainly been on verifying the existence of a relationship between democracy and child mortality and not on the dynamics of the relationship. This paper addresses this question by empirically testing the dynamic effects of important changes in the level of democrac y on the percentage change in child mortality using a distributed lag model. The findings are that during the 5 to 25 years following a democratic transition child mortality decreases significantly. Following this decrease, child mortality stabilizes at a new, lower level. Disaggregating democratic transitions into different subcomponents the finding is that the single most important aspect for child mortality is the competitiveness of execut ive recruitment. The results on the effects of an autocratic experience mirror those of a democratic transition, child mortality increases for a number of years but the results are not as stable as for positive democratic changes .
EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTION SCHEMES IN SINGAPORE

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Among the various suggestions for improving the Singapore economy, a high-level task-force known as the Economic Committee in its 1986 report has suggested that Employee Stock Option Schemes (ESOS) "should be encouraged, as this is a good way to foster greater commitment of employees to their companies' financial performance". This paper discusses the status of Employee Stock Option Schemes in Singapore. An examination of the companies listed on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange of Singapore shows that only a minority of the Singapore incorporated and listed companies have offered ESOS. The study also finds that ESOS tends to be offered by the bigger companies within each sector of the economy. The results of a recent questionnaire survey show that among the companies that offered ESOS, motivating employees is the most popular objective for offering such schemes and these schemes are judged to be satisfactory in achieving it.
The Study of Social Needs as a Strategic Tool for the Innovation of the Social Care Sector

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

One of the biggest challenges for social intervention is to acquire more efficacy and innovation. The strategic detection of innovation opportunities is directly linked with the research and comprehension of unmet social and economic needs, but also with a profound evaluation of the usual ways to identify and answer to current and emergent needs. The contribution of ICTs, traditionally absent from social work and social care universes, can be very relevant at this level. Therefore, in this chapter, the authors discuss the boundaries and conceptions of (social) needs as a strategic dimension for innovation and evaluation on social intervention and reflect upon the key issues (difficulties and opportunities) associated with the use of ICTs in social work and social care systems.
Screening for senolytic and senomorphic compounds in HDF76 fibroblasts and their effects as geroprotectors in C. elegans

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

El envejecimiento es el principal factor de riesgo para muchas enfermedades, y la senescencia celular es un factor clave en este proceso y sus patologías relacionadas. Los senolíticos y senomórficos, que eliminan células senescentes o modulan su fenotipo secretor asociado a la senescencia (SASP), ofrecen un enfoque prometedor para promover una longevidad saludable. El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar los efectos senolíticos y senomórficos de trece compuestos en fibroblastos dérmicos humanos (HDF76) y sus efectos geroprotectores en C. elegans. La senescencia en HDF76 fue inducida usando doxorrubicina y, tras añadir los compuestos, se analizó la actividad senolítica utilizando Zombie NIR y Alamar Blue. Posteriormente, se evaluó la actividad senomórfica mediante ELISA, cuantificando la secreción de IL-6 y MMP1. Además, los compuestos se probaron en C. elegans para examinar sus efectos geroprotectores in vivo. Los resultados mostraron que los compuestos 1, 4, 5, 8, 9, 12 y 13 exhibieron propiedades senolíticas, mientras que los compuestos 1, 2, 4 y 6 mostraron indicios de actividad senomórfica. Sin embargo, ninguno de los compuestos testados actuó como geroprotector en C. elegans. Estudios con tamaños de muestra mayores y concentraciones adicionales son necesarios para confirmar su potencial terapéutico en el envejecimiento y enfermedades relacionadas.

Historiography as a form of political thought

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This article seeks to combine two lines of thought that have been little studied: a model history of early modern historiography, and a theory of the impact of historiography on a political society. Under the former heading, it traces the growth of a narrative of European history as a series of sequels to the Roman empire, and a history of historiography as passing from classical narrative to antiquarian study and Enlightened philosophy. Under the latter, it considers the effect on political life of being narrated in a plurality of contexts, and asks whether a modern society can survive if deprived of the capacity for debating its history.
GERMAN UNIFICATION AND THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITY: TRADE ASPECTS

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

Immediately after the first free election in the former German Democratic Republic (GDR) and the decision of its people to be reunited with the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG), the European Council in its meeting of April 1990 in Dublin welcomed German unification under the ceiling of Europe. The European Council decided that the economic integration of the former GDR in Europe should take place as soon as German unification occurred. The transitional arrangements of the treaty of unification between the GDR and the FRG should be accordingly considered. The full integration of the former GDR into the European Community (EC) should be realized without new alterations of the treaties. This assessment was underlined again in the resolution of 17 May of the European Parliament.
[Characteristics of B-cell lymphoma in Japan].

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Consecutive 431 patients with B-cell lymphoma seen in Aichi Cancer Center Hospital from 1964 to 1988 were analysed. Median age was 56 yr (range 8-86). There were 76 patients (17.6%) with follicular lymphoma and 355 with diffuse lymphoma. Among the 30 patients with follicular lymphoma, 10 (33%) were found to have a bcl-2 rearrangement. The incidence was lower than those reported in the United States. This might contribute to the lower incidence of follicular lymphoma cases in Japan. There were 168 patients (39.0%) with nodal lymphoma and 263 with extranodal lymphoma. Eight-four cases arose from the stomach, 84 from Waldeyer's ring, 21 small intestine and 13 thyroid. The distributions of extranodal B-cell lymphoma differed from those of T-cell lymphoma. Patients with gastric lymphomas in stage I were treated with resection alone. In the same manner, patients with Waldeyer's ring lymphoma in stage I were treated with radiotherapy alone. More than 90% of these patients were expected to survive without relapse. On the other hand, only 55% of patients with nodal lymphoma in stage I were expected to survive for more than 10 years. These findings suggest the site of localized lymphoma is an important determinant of outcome of clinical behavior.

Cosmopolitanism: a Journey of Suffering and Forgiveness

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

In this paper, cosmopolitanism is examined and then approached with a Sufi ontology and epistemology, particularly drawing on the history of thought at the time of Al-Andalus. Using the concepts of hilm and ilm as a dyad of thought and action, cosmopolitanism is reimagined to become cosmopassion and cosmocharis, the dual reality of universal suffering and a call for universal grace and forgiveness. Through an autobiographical exploration of the enactment of cosmopolitanism as a lived curriculum, the complexities of this reimagining are brought to bear on the current moment we inhabit in history.
Insights into the Acute Stress of Glutaraldehyde Disinfectant on Short-Term Wet Anaerobic Digestion System of Pig Manure: Dose Response, Performance Variation, and Microbial Community Structure

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

The outbreak of epidemics such as African swine fever has intensified the use of disinfectants in pig farms, resulting in an increasing residual concentration of disinfectants in environmental media; however, the high-frequency excessive use of disinfectants that damage pig farm manure anaerobic fermentation systems and their mechanisms has not attracted enough attention. Especially, the complex effects of residual disinfectants on anaerobic fermentation systems for pig manure remain poorly understood, thus impeding the application of disinfectants in practical anaerobic fermentation systems. Herein, we explored the effects of glutaraldehyde disinfectant on methane production, effluent physicochemical indices, and microbial communities in a fully automated methanogenic potential test system (AMPTSII). The results show that adding glutaraldehyde led to remarkable alterations in methane production, chemical oxygen demand (COD), volatile solids (VS), and polysaccharide and phosphorus concentrations. During the anaerobic process, the production of methane displayed a notable decrease of 5.0–98% in all glutaraldehyde treatments, and the trend was especially apparent for treatments containing high levels of glutaraldehyde. Comparisons of the effluent quality showed that in the presence of 0.002–0.04% glutaraldehyde, the COD and total phosphorus (TP) increased by 12–310% and 15–27%, respectively. Moreover, the addition of 0.01–0.08% glutaraldehyde decreased the ammonium (NH4+-N) concentration and VS degradation rate by 7.7–15% and 4.9–26.2%. Furthermore, microbiological analysis showed that the glutaraldehyde treatments had adverse effects on the microbial community. Notably, certain functional bacteria were restrained, as highlighted by the decreases in relative abundance and microbial diversity by 1.3–17% and 0.06–21%, respectively. This study provides a theoretical basis for the rational use of disinfectants in anaerobic fermentation systems.
Speech rate and vowel duration in American English

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

In an experiment designed to elucidate the manner in which vowel duration in American English is altered by speaking rate and how rate interacts with other duration-affecting factors, vowel durations were measured in nonsense words spoken in frame sentences. The following inherent and contextual factors were manipulated: vowel height and tenseness (/ɪ, I, e, r/); post-vocalic consonant voicing; vowel position in utterance (words were monosyllabic or disyllabic with the target vowel in the initial syllable); and speaking rate. Preliminary results confirm earlier findings that vowel height has an additive effect on vowel duration and consonant voicing interacts with vowel class (tense versus lax) and position. The results further show that rate exhibits similar behavior to voicing. It interacts with vowel class and voicing, and with position in voiced consonants.
The impact of short term credentials: an analysis of a technical college customer service certificate program

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This study sought to examine the lived experiences of participants of a grant funded, short term customer service certificate program for case managed unemployed adults, offered by a Midwestern technical college across two academic years; 2014 - 2015. This qualitative, phenomenological study employed personal interviews with selected program completers to gain a deeper understanding of their employment and educational attainment perceptions, in an effort to inform and guide the future development of short duration credentials. The study revealed that short term credentials can serve as a catalyst for enhanced employment and further educational opportunities, given the presence of several factors; the encouragement and support of others including employers, instructors and peers, the inclusion of a work based learning model that mirrors the conditions and behaviors required in the work environment, and the alignment of the training to in-demand occupations. The "Cliff Effect" was found to be an unintended outcome for some completers. Recommendations for future program design support the inclusion of employers in program design and delivery, the use of an Adult Learning Cohort Model, the creation of a speed to market occupational pathways, the addition of financial coaching to student support, and reinforcement of the concept of life-long learning.
