Writing the Bedlam Trilogy

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This essay is a reflective exploration of the inception and development of three novels I wrote set in Victorian (and Regency) London, so as to try and understand why this period still has such a powerful grip on our collective imaginations. I question whether our understanding of the nineteenth century is stereotypical or superficial, and to what extent we can escape from our own intellectual preoccupations and biases into those of our forebears. By reflecting on my own writing process, I ask whether, if we do manage to thus ‘escape’, this amounts to ‘escapism’ – a fear of confronting our own uncertain present – and in what way writing about real people differs from writing about imaginary ones. This leads on to wider speculations regarding the extent to which the internet and an ever more globalised and interconnected world influence what we write, in particular biofictions.
Suitable to Remain a Student Social Worker? Decision Making in Relation to Termination of Training

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Termination of training is a contentious aspect of work for social work educators. Studies in the USA, Australia and Canada have pointed to the need for clear procedures that safeguard the rights of students whilst also enabling social work staff to fulfil their role as professional gatekeepers. In England, recently introduced professional regulations require universities to have such procedures in place. The concept of professional suitability is central, but rarely defined either at a national or local level.
Primary and Secondary Progressive Aphasia in Posterior Cortical Atrophy

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

Background: Posterior cortical atrophy (PCA) is a clinico-radiological syndrome characterized by a progressive decline in visuospatial/visuoperceptual processing. PCA is accompanied by the impairment of other cognitive functions, including language abilities. Methods: The present study focused on three patients presenting with language complaints and a clinical profile that was compatible with PCA. In addition to neurological and neuroimaging examinations, they were assessed with comprehensive batteries of neuropsychological and neurolinguistic tests. Results: The general medical profile of the three patients is consistent with PCA, although they presented with confounding factors, making diagnosis less clear. The cognitive profile of the three patients was marked by Balint and Gerstmann’s syndromes as well as impairments affecting executive functions, short-term and working memory, visuospatial and visuoperceptual abilities, and sensorimotor execution abilities. Their language ability was characterized by word-finding difficulties and impairments of sentence comprehension, sentence repetition, verbal fluency, narrative speech, reading, and writing. Conclusions: This study confirmed that PCA is marked by visuospatial and visuoperceptual deficits and reported evidence of primary and secondary language impairments in the three patients. The similarities of some of their language impairments with those found in the logopenic variant of primary progressive aphasia is discussed from neurolinguistic and neuroanatomical points of view.
Light scattering properties of an isotactic polymer solution

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

Abstract A polystyrene of isotactic character having a melting point (221°C.) and a degree of crystallinity in the solid state of 40%, was found to be partially soluble in toluene at 100°C. Light scattering measurements on the soluble portion indicate that the material has the high weight‐average molecular weight of 8.93 × 10 6 . The dimensions of the molecules in solution agree with those deduced from the theoretical treatment of the polydispersed random coil, and the second virial coefficient is of the expected order.
HIV prevention programme cascades: insights from HIV programme monitoring for female sex workers in Kenya

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Abstract Introduction HIV prevention cascades have emerged as a programme management and monitoring tool that outlines the sequential steps of an HIV prevention programme. We describe the application of an HIV combination prevention programme cascade framework to monitor and improve HIV prevention interventions for female sex workers (FSWs) in Kenya. Methods Two data sources were analysed: (1) annual programme outcome surveys conducted using a polling booth survey methodology in 2017 among 4393 FSWs, and (2) routine programme monitoring data collected by (a) 92 implementing partners between July 2017 and June 2018, and (b) Learning Site in Mombasa (2014 to 2015) and Nairobi (2013). We present national, sub‐national and implementing partner level cascades. Results At the national level, the population size estimates for FSW were 133,675 while the programme coverage targets were 174,073. Programme targets as denominator, during the period 2017 to 2018, 156,220 (90%) FSWs received peer education and contact, 148,713 (85%) received condoms and 83,053 (48%) received condoms as per their estimated need. At the outcome level, 92% of FSWs used condoms at the last sex with their client but 73% reported consistent condom use. Although 96% of FSWs had ever tested for HIV, 85% had tested in the last three months. Seventy‐nine per cent of the HIV‐positive FSWs were enrolled in HIV care, 73% were currently enrolled on antiretroviral therapy (ART) and 52% had attended an ART clinic in the last month. In the last six months, 48% of the FSWs had experienced police violence but 24% received violence support. National and sub‐national level cascades showed proportions of FSWs lost at each step of programme implementation and variability in programme achievement. Hotspot and sub‐population level cascades, presented as examples, demonstrate development and use of these cascades at the implementation level. Conclusions HIV prevention programme cascades, drawing on multiple data sources to provide an understanding of gaps in programme outputs and outcomes, can provide powerful information for monitoring and improving HIV prevention programmes for FSWs at all levels of implementation and decision‐making. Complexity of prevention programmes and the paucity of consistent data can pose a challenge to development of these cascades.
Preferences in human mate selection.

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

In this article we examine preferences in mate choice within the broader context of the human mating system. Specifically, we discuss the consequences of mate preferences for the processes of assortative mating and sexual selection. In Study 1 (N = 184) we document (a) the mate characteristics that are consensually more and less desired, (b) the mate characteristics that show strong sex differences in their preferred value, (c) the degree to which married couples are correlated in selection preferences, and (d) the relations between expressed preferences and the personality and background characteristics of obtained spouses. In Study 2 (N = 100) we replicated the sex differences and consensual ordering of mate preferences found in Study I, using a different methodology and a differently composed sample. Lastly, we present alternative hypotheses to account for the replicated sex differences in preferences for attractiveness and earning potential. Neither men nor women prefer all members of the opposite sex equally. Some are favored over others, and one important research task is to identify the characteristics that prospective mates consider to be important. Although mate choice is clearly a crucial adult decision for more than 90% of the population (Price & Vandenberg, 1980), surprisingly little is known about the characteristics that men and women seek in potential mates (Thiessen & Gregg, 1980). In this article we develop a conception of the role of mate preferences within the human mating system. Specifically, we address the consequences for sexual selection and assortative mating. In two empirical studies we document several basic features of this conception.

Identifying Factors in Human Trafficking

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

IDENTIFYING FACTORS IN HUMAN TRAFFICKING Patrice M. Broderick 31 March 2005 This thesis reviews the transnational problem of human trafficking, a form of slavery. Women and children are trafficked within and between countries at an alarming rate and it has become a prime agenda for the Bush Administration and the Department of State to call for action and solutions to. This thesis opens with a defining of this problem and overview of the scope of the problem on a global scale. It reviews social, political and economic factors which play a role. It describes laws enacted and police responses and describes what research has been conducted to get a grasp of what is involved and what might be done. This author decided to explore factors that other researchers have suggested are “compelling factors” in victimization. This research hypothesis for this thesis explores the economic factors. Comparisons are made between countries of origin where victims originate from and destination countries where they are trafficked to. The research findings reveal some significant differences in economic factors exist between the origin and destination countries. The findings lend support in why victims iii feel compelled to seek entrance to countries like the U.S. and Australia or U.K. and might be easy prey for traffickers. This author makes it clear that the research here does not mean that this is why they are victimized. Further research with victim surveys and victim interviews will be helpful. Furthermore, it will be valuable to conduct more exploration of the economic factors, but more accurate data sources are needed. It is recommended that countries attempt to establish more standardized criteria for reporting economic data. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to express praise to Almighty God for his gracious abundance of his love for giving me the gift of writing, to use me as an instrument to convey information to others of this hurtful pervasive crime against His people. Secondly, I wish to express my gratitude to my parents for their genes related to compassion and writing abilities. I am thankful to my thesis advisor, Dr. Hal Campbell, PhD, for all his advise and assistance throughout this difficult and sometimes trying project as I encountered first hand what the thesis process is supposed to teach about the “how to” of conducting research properly and how one relinquishes control when one uses secondary sources and or uses sources requiring permissions. Along those same lines, I owe thanks to Sarah Harrison of the InterUniversity Consortium for Political and Social Research for helping me as I tried to obtain restricted victim data, even though it wasn’t possible for me to obtain it. I at least learned the process that is involved for students and for other researchers. I am grateful to my fellow classmates for their support and encouragement along the way.

HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER IN FREE SURFACE FLOWS WITH SOLIDIFICATION

Field: Chemical Engineering (Physical Sciences)

The objective of this paper is to discuss the theory of free surface flows with solidification. This type of open-channel flows is relevant to a number of important manufacturing processes, such as the horizontal continuous casting of carbon steel. Since carbon steel is a binary alloy, in formulating a mathematical model in addition to accounting for fluid flow and heat transfer, it is also necessary to account for the solute transport and for the two-phase region (the mushy zone) effects. Difficulties of the theory are discussed.
[Genetic male infertility].

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

Several etiological factors in male infertility have been identified and it is now clear that a proportion of these factors have a genetic basis. This implies that using assisted reproductive technology procedures and especially intracytoplasmic sperm injection these genetic factors may be transmitted to the children. The following genetic factors involved in severe male infertility will be discussed: the presence of numerical and structural chromosomal anomalies, the occurrence of microdeletions on the long arm of the Y chromosome and the relation between cystic fibrosis and congenital bilateral absence of the vas deferens.
Inter-Rater Reliability and Intra-Rater Reliability of Assessing the 2-Minute Push-Up Test

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

The purpose of this study was to assess inter-rater reliability and intra-rater reliability of the 2-minute, 90° push-up test as utilized in the Army Physical Fitness Test. Analysis of rater assessment reliability included both total score agreement and agreement across individual push-up repetitions. This study utilized 8 Raters who assessed 15 different videotaped push-up performances over 4 iterations separated by a minimum of 1 week. The 15 push-up participants were videotaped during the semiannual Army Physical Fitness Test. Each Rater randomly viewed the 15 push-up and verbally responded with a "yes" or "no" to each push-up repetition. The data generated were analyzed using the Pearson product-moment correlation as well as the kappa, modified kappa and the intra-class correlation coefficient (3,1). An attribute agreement analysis was conducted to determine the percent of inter-rater and intra-rater agreement across individual push-ups.The results indicated that Raters varied a great deal in assessing push-ups. Over the 4 trials of 15 participants, the overall scores of the Raters varied between 3.0 and 35.7 push-ups. Post hoc comparisons found that there was significant increase in the grand mean of push-ups from trials 1-3 to trial 4 (p < 0.05). Also, there was a significant difference among raters over the 4 trials (p < 0.05). Pearson correlation coefficients for inter-rater and intra-rater reliability identified inter-rater reliability coefficients were between 0.10 and 0.97. Intra-rater coefficients were between 0.48 and 0.99. Intra-rater agreement for individual push-up repetitions ranged from 41.8% to 84.8%. The results indicated that the raters failed to assess the same push-up repetition with the same score (below 70% agreement) as well as failed to agree when viewed between raters (29%). Interestingly, as previously mentioned, scores on trial 4 increased significantly which might have been caused by rater drift or that the Raters did not maintain the push-up standard over the trials. It does appear that the final push-up scores received by each participant was a close approximation of actual performance (within 65%) but when assessing physical performance for retention in the Army, a more reliable test might be considered.
Solar Response to Luminosity Variations

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

The connection between solar luminosity and magnetic fields is now well-established. Magnetic fields under the guise of sunspots and faculae enhance or suppress heat transfer through the solar surface, leading to changes in the total solar luminosity. This raises the question of the effect that such surface heat transfer perturbations have on the internal structure of the sun. The problem has been considered previously by Foukal and Spruit. Here, researchers generalize the calculation of Spruit, removing the assumption of a constant heat diffusivity coefficient by treating the full mixing length heat transfer expression. Further, they treat the surface conditions in a simpler manner, and show that the previous conclusions of Foukal and Spruit are unaffected by these modifications. The model shows that following the application of a step function emissivity change: a fraction 1 - D(sub 0) of the luminosity change relaxes away after approx. 50 days. This corresponds to the thermal diffusion time across the convection zone, adjusting to a value in correspondence with the surface change. In other words, the whole convection zone feels the perturbation on this timescale. The remaining fraction relaxes away on a timescale of 10 to the 5th power years, corresponding to the convective layer radiating away enough energy so that it can adjust to its new adiabat. These are the same results arrived at by Spruit and Foukal. For variations of sigma on timescales of 10 to 200 years, then, the only important relaxation is the 50 day one. If the amplitude of this relaxation is small, the luminosity follows the sigma variation.
SH1722314.08FU

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

UNITE provides a unified way for delimiting, identifying, communicating, and working with DNA-based Species Hypotheses (SH). All fungal ITS sequences in the international nucleotide sequence databases are clustered to approximately the species level by applying a set of dynamic distance values (<0.5 - 3.0%). All species hypotheses are given a unique, stable name in the form of a DOI, and their taxonomic and ecological annotations are verified through distributed, web-based third-party annotation efforts. SHs are connected to a taxon name and its classification as far as possible (phylum, class, order, etc.) by taking into account identifications for all sequences in the SH. An automatically or manually designated sequence is chosen to represent each such SH. These sequences are released (https://unite.ut.ee/repository.php) for use by the scientific community in, for example, local sequence similarity searches and next-generation sequencing analysis pipelines. The system and the data are updated automatically as the number of public fungal ITS sequences grows.

Empowering Transliteracy in the School Library through international collaboration

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

In the field of Slovenian school libraries, we join many of those wide spaces of literacies through our international cooperation between schools involving pupils in different multicultural and international activities. For this occasion, we will represent two examples of Empowering Transliteracy in the School Libraries of Slovenia. The first one involves activities of transliteracy in the school curricula by celebrating International School Library Month, which takes place every October. The second example of empowering Transliteracy in the School Library was established in the Elementary School Litija through Erasmus plus activities. Not only do these activities strengthen all levels of competence of modern times, but as we strongly believe, help creating critical readers who will insist on lifelong learning.
REVIEW OF EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES INVESTIGATING THE RATE OF STRONTIUM AND ACTINIDE ADSORPTION BY MONOSODIUM TITANATE

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

A number of laboratory studies have been conducted to determine the influence of mixing and mixing intensity, solution ionic strength, initial sorbate concentrations, temperature, and monosodium titanate (MST) concentration on the rates of sorbate removal by MST in high-level nuclear waste solutions. Of these parameters, initial sorbate concentrations, ionic strength, and MST concentration have the greater impact on sorbate removal rates. The lack of a significant influence of mixing and mixing intensity on sorbate removal rates indicates that bulk solution transport is not the rate controlling step in the removal of strontium and actinides over the range of conditions and laboratory-scales investigated. However, bulk solution transport may be a significant parameter upon use of MST in a 1.3 million-gallon waste tank such as that planned for the Small Column Ion Exchange (SCIX) program. Thus, Savannah River National Laboratory (SRNL) recommends completing the experiments in progress to determine if mixing intensity influences sorption rates under conditions appropriate for this program. Adsorption models have been developed from these experimental studies that allow prediction of strontium (Sr), plutonium (Pu), neptunium (Np) and uranium (U) concentrations as a function of contact time with MST. Fairly good agreement has been observed between the predicted and measured sorbate concentrations in the laboratory-scale experiments.
Improving Access to Endocrinologists through Provider-to-Provider eConsultations

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Access to specialty healthcare care remains a major issue for many Canadians. Not only are wait times long, but other barriers contribute to inequitable access. These include the patient’s ability to attend appointments (e.g. related to transportation difficulties and/or cost), and the ability of some patients to participate in an appointment (e.g. due to cognitive impairment, mobility challenges, loss of wages, or degree of comfort with a new provider). Informal consultations between healthcare providers have always played a role in healthcare access. The “call a colleague” approach works well when a practitioner is able to contact a colleague by telephone and an established network of specialists exists; however, it is inefficient, does not facilitate record-keeping for medico-legal purposes and follow-up, and is not remunerated. One way to help address these obstacles is through inter-provider electronic consultations (eConsults).
