Forty years of IKEA kitchens and the rise of a neoliberal control of domestic space
Year: 2019

This article uses a social semiotic approach to look at the representations and designs of kitchens in the IKEA catalogue from 1975 until 2016. The authors find a shift from function to lifestyle of the order observed by scholars of advertising. But using Fairclough's concepts of 'technologization' in Discourse and Social Change (1992) and Van Leeuwen's New Writing (2006) concept, they are able to dig deeper to show that there are four stages of kitchen that become, they argue, more and more codified, with increasing prescription over the meaning of space and also regarding what takes place there. Such coding aligns with the ideas, values and identities of neoliberalism: 'flexible' 'dynamic' 'creative' 'solutions' and 'self management' The authors show how the features of New Writing allow a suppression of actual causalities and context, and permit symbolic and indexical meanings to take over. Domestic life itself becomes technologized, coded and stripped down to a number of symbols and indexical meanings which assemble easily into the requirements of the neoliberal order.
Female knowledge in distillation images and practices
Year: 2008

One of the recurrent motives in Alchemy iconography is the work of women, appearing in significant treatises from the second half of the 16th century onwards. The images of women were also present in books on distillation devoted to the description of procedures to preparing medicinal waters. This paper, focusing on alchemical treatises Splendor Solis and Liber de arte distillandi by Hieronymus Brunschwig analyzes some of the paths that would lead to the enrichment and modernization of the representation of the work of women.
A case series of paediatric high flow nasal cannula therapy.
Venue: Australian critical care official journal of the Confederation of Australian Critical Care Nurses
Year: 2013

High flow nasal cannula is an emerging treatment option in Paediatric Intensive Care Units for paediatric patients in acute respiratory distress. Yet there is a paucity of literature describing its clinical application in various presenting pathophysiologies.  To describe three cases with differing underlying pathophysiologies and their response to high flow nasal cannula oxygen therapy.  Patients admitted to the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit with bronchiolitis, asthma and cardiomyopathy, and treated with high flow nasal cannula therapy were searched in the Paediatric Intensive Care database. The most representative cases were chosen to review.  One infant and two children were reviewed. All were commenced on high flow nasal cannula therapy in the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit and all demonstrated an improvement in their work of breathing. There was also a substantial improvement in their haemodynamic status. No patient required escalation to other forms of respiratory therapy.  High flow nasal cannula therapy is a viable treatment option for a range of patients presenting to the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit with acute respiratory distress. More invasive methods of respiratory support may be avoided by the use of high flow nasal cannula therapy.
Diffusion Weighted Imaging, MR Angiography, and Baseline Data in a Systematic Multicenter Analysis of 3,301 MRI Scans of Ischemic Stroke Patients Neuroradiological Review Within the MRI GENIE Study
Venue: Frontiers in Neurology
Year: 2020

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) serves as a cornerstone in defining stroke phenotype and etiological subtype through examination of ischemic stroke lesion appearance and is therefore an essential tool in linking genetic traits and stroke. Building on baseline MRI examinations from the centralized and structured radiological assessments of ischemic stroke patients in the Stroke Genetics Network, the results of the MRI Genetics Interface Exploration (MRI GENIE) study are described in this work.  The MRI GENIE study included patients with symptoms caused by ischemic stroke (N 3,301) from 12 international centers. We established and used a structured reporting protocol for all assessments. Two neuroradiologists, using a blinded evaluation protocol, independently reviewed the baseline diffusion weighted images (DWIs) and magnetic resonance angiography images to determine acute lesion and vascular occlusion characteristics.  In this systematic multicenter radiological analysis of clinical MRI from 3,301 acute ischemic stroke patients according to a structured prespecified protocol, we identified that anterior circulation infarcts were most prevalent (67.4% that infarcts in the middle cerebral artery (MCA) territory were the most common, and that the majority of large artery occlusions 0 to 48 h from ictus were in the MCA territory. Multiple acute lesions in one or several vascular territories were common (11% Of 2,238 patients with unilateral DWI lesions, 52.6% had left sided infarct lateralization (P 0.013 for kh2 test)  This large scale analysis of a multicenter MRI based cohort of AIS patients presents a unique imaging framework facilitating the relationship between imaging and genetics for advancing the knowledge of genetic traits linked to ischemic stroke.
Research on Quantitative Evaluation Model of Investment Value of Power Grid Enterprises' New Business Based on Real Options
Year: 2020

With the continuous advancement of the power system reform, especially after the introduction of equipment capital to participate in the competition, the business development of power grid companies is facing increasingly severe internal and external tests. While continuing to do a good job in regulated businesses centered on transmission and distribution business, vigorously develop new businesses and strive to achieve high quality development in a complex market environment. Through the evaluation of the intrinsic value of new businesses of power grid companies, investors can clarify the true value of new businesses, better identify and avoid potential risks, and encourage investors to invest rationally. This article first expounds the types of new businesses of power grid companies, introduces the basic overview of real option theory, and constructs a value evaluation model of discounted cash flow model plus real option theory pricing model, and through case analysis, the feasibility of empirical option theory in the evaluation of new business of power grid investment value is verified.
A Novel Photo thermochemical Approach for Enhanced Carbon Dioxide Reforming of Methane
Year: 2018

We report a new approach for photo thermochemical CO2 (dry) reforming of methane (PTC DRM) to produce syngas by using concentrated sunlight as the energy input. A unique catalyst, Pt supported Si modified CeO2, was designed for this novel PTC DRM reaction by integrating photocatalytic and thermocatalytic effects, for which Pt was the thermocatalytic DRM catalyst and co catalyst for photocatalysis, CeO2 was the DRM support and semiconductor photocatalyst, and Si was the promoter and stabilizer. Under irradiation of the equivalent of 30 suns at 600 degC in 30 h, the production rates of H2 and CO reached stable levels of 90 and 154 mmol g 1 h 1, respectively, which were five and two times higher than those obtained in the dark at the same temperature. The significantly enhanced catalytic performance and stability under solar irradiation, resulting from synergy between the photocatalytic and thermocatalytic effects, demonstrates the feasibility of a new direction in low carbon fuel production from sunlight.
The Success of Student Information Management System: The Case of Higher Education Institution in Ethiopia
Venue: AMCIS
Year: 2010

Information Systems (IS) implementation in higher education is a large investment. Such investments are expected to bring increased efficiency and effectiveness, as well as better quality services to stakeholders. Our literature search did not find student information management systems (SIMS) in Ethiopia or similar low income countries. This research is work in progress. It attempts to bridge the literature gap for utilization and success factors of SIMS in a university context of low income countries. The study will address the research question: what determinant factors contribute to the success or failure of IS in higher education institutions in Ethiopia, with particular reference to SIMS? The study uses DeLone and McLean (1992, 2003) IS Success Model to identify the dimensions of IS success when applied to SIMS. We also investigate two new constructs top management support and user support that were found relevant in the study context.
Why Choosing Healthy Foods is Hard, and How to Help: Presenting the 4Ps Framework for Behavior Change
Year: 2014

The pursuit of long term goals is often thwarted by immediate desires a pattern particularly common in food choices. Research in economics, psychology, and marketing has identified a rich supply of unrelated small influences or "nudges" that can help make healthy choices easier, aligning behaviors with intentions. We organize these streams of research using a novel taxonomy, the 4Ps Framework for Behavior Change, to integrate nudges within a dual system model of consumer choice and to provide suggestions for extensions. We conclude with a discussion of some practical challenges facing researchers in this area.
Improved ETSI advanced front end for ASR based on robust complex speech analysis
Venue: 2016 Asia Pacific Signal and Information Processing Association Annual Summit and Conference (APSIPA)
Year: 2016

An automatic speech recognition (ASR) is commonly used in these days. Current ASR systems perform well in ideal environment, however it does not perform well in realistic noisy environment. As a robust ASR, ETSI has standardized Advanced Front End (AFE) that adopts two stage of iterative Wiener filter (IWF) to realize a speech enhancement as the front end of ASR. In the ETSI AFE, FFT is used to estimate speech spectrum that designs the Wiener filter. On the other hand, we have already proposed robust complex speech analysis for an analytic signal. It can estimate more robust and more accurate speech spectrum due to the introduced robust criterion and nature of analytic signal. This paper proposes an improved AFE using wide band robust ELS (Extended Least Square) complex analysis and real valued analysis instead of FFT. The experimental results using the CENSREC 2 speech database demonstrates that the performance is improved.
The Consumer's Perceived Risk When Buying a Home: The Role of Subjective Knowledge, Perceived Benefits of Information Search and Information Search Behavior
Year: 2011

Having knowledge of various aspects of the consumer's buying process can help companies significantly when developing strategies to increase their market share, while relying on two mechanisms: enhancing customer satisfaction and/or reducing the customer's perceived risk. This study aims to develop and empirically test a conceptual model of consumers' perceived risk for a prefabricated house purchase. The study has two specific objectives: (a) to determine the influence of prior subjective knowledge on an individual's risk perception, and (b) to test the mediating effect of the perceived benefits of information search between perceived risk and information search behavior. According to the empirical findings, prior subjective knowledge and perceived benefits of information search are significantly and directly related to perceived risk. Information search behavior is only indirectly influenced by perceived risk through perceived benefits of information search. In addition to the empirical research, implications are set out for several stakeholders: manufacturers and sellers of prefabricated houses, and companies producing strategically important products.
2D/2D Z scheme heterojunction of CuInS2/g C3N4 for enhanced visible light driven photocatalytic activity towards the degradation of tetracycline
Venue: Separation and Purification Technology
Year: 2019

Photocatalysis is one of the most promising technologies owing to its great potential to relieve energy and environmental issues. Constructing Z scheme heterojunction photocatalyst with strong redox ability to make for enhanced light absorption and efficient charge separation is extremely attractive but still underdeveloped. Herein, Z scheme heterojunction of CuInS2/g C3N4 with a "sheet on sheet" hierarchical structure showing enhanced photocatalytic performance for the tetracycline (TC) degradation under visible light irradiation has been developed. This 2D/2D hierarchical structure of CuInS2/g C3N4 composite not only enlarges the contact region in the heterojunction interface but also provides more active reaction sites, as demonstrated by the TEM and BET analyses. Particularly, 50 wt% CuInS2/g C3N4 heterojunction shows the highest photocatalytic activity (20 mg/L; 83.7% degradation within 60 min) which the apparent rate constant is 15 and 11 times higher than that of pure g C3N4 and CuInS2 nanosheets, respectively. The remarkably enhanced photocatalytic activity mainly derives from the synergistic effect between CuInS2 and g C3N4, thereby promoting the charge separation during the photocatalytic reaction. This work is expected to provide a design idea to construct multifunctional 2D/2D nanocomposites for photocatalytic applications.
Doubling the acquisition rate by spatial multiplexing of holograms in coherent sparse coded aperture correlation holography.
Venue: Optics letters
Year: 2020

Optical, spatial, or temporal multiplexing is a well known approach to optimize the performance of imaging systems. Following the recent discovery about the capability to record a coherent hologram in an interferenceless working mode, we propose a motionless method to spatially multiplex more than one hologram in a single camera exposure. Using the rather simple multiplexing framework based on coded aperture correlation holography, we effectively increase the acquisition rate of dynamic scenes and the holographic data compression by two fold. Quantitative or qualitative phase microscopy and acquisition of a bipolar hologram from a single camera shot, experimentally confirm the applicability of the suggested technique.

'He's not the Messiah, he's a very naughty boy! Radicalising hermeneutics with Kafka's The Castle
Venue: Tamara. Journal for Critical Organization Inquiry
Year: 2019

This paper explores the politics of interpretation from the perspective of hermeneutic theory. It presents a reading of Kafka's novel The Castle focused on critique of the business of interpretation, where suspicion unfolds in distorted, possibly fraudulent, sense making between protagonist, narrator and reader. The protagonist's mission is neither heroic nor a call to resistance to bureaucratic absurdity, but instead, the result of hubris, hoax, or even a slip of the pen, and it becomes impossible to unpick the perils of bureaucracy from the perils of interpretation, or to distinguish between error and insight. In mining discrepancies between justification, effort and reward of interpretation, Kafka punctures the mythology of understanding, rupturing the near sacrosanct hermeneutic connection between interpretation and meaning. His work undermines both objective and subjective understandings, leaving us distrustful of both expert and experiential perspectives. In a post truth era with its 'alternative facts' The Castle feels startlingly fresh and relevant.
Peers influence adolescent reward processing, but not response inhibition
Venue: Cognitive, affective behavioral neuroscience
Year: 2018

Most adolescent risk taking occurs in the presence of peers. Prior research suggests that peers alter adolescents' decision making by increasing reward sensitivity and the engagement of regions involved in the processing of rewards, primarily the striatum. However, the potential influence of peers on the capacity for impulse control, and the associated recruitment of the brain's control circuitry, has not yet been adequately examined. In the current study, adolescents underwent functional neuroimaging while they completed interleaved rounds of risk taking and response inhibition tasks. Social context was manipulated such that the participants believed they were either playing alone and unobserved, or watched by an anonymous peer. Compared to those who completed the tasks alone, adolescents in the peer condition took more risks during the risk taking task and exhibited relatively heightened activation of the striatum. Activity within this striatal region also predicted individual differences in overall risk taking. In contrast, the presence of peers had no effect on behavioral response inhibition and had minimal impact on the engagement of typical cognitive control regions. In a subregion of the anterior insula engaged mutually by both tasks, activity was again found to be sensitive to social context during the risk taking task, but not during the response inhibition task. These findings extend the evidence that the presence of peers biases adolescents towards risk taking by increasing reward sensitivity rather than disrupting cognitive control.

Automatic analysis of double coronal mass ejections from coronagraph images
Year: 2015

Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) can have major impacts on man made technology and humans, both in space and on Earth. These impacts have created a high interest in the study of CMEs in an effort to detect and track events and forecast the CME arrival time to provide time for proper mitigation. A robust automatic real time CME processing pipeline is greatly desired to avoid laborious and subjective manual processing. Automatic methods have been proposed to segment CMEs from coronagraph images and estimate CME parameters such as their heliocentric location and velocity. However, existing methods suffered from several shortcomings such as the use of hard thresholding and an inability to handle two or more CMEs occurring within the same coronagraph image. Double CME analysis is a necessity for forecasting the many CME events that occur within short time frames. Robust forecasts for all CME events are required to fully understand space weather impacts. This paper presents a new method to segment CME masses and pattern recognition approaches to differentiate two CMEs in a single coronagraph image. The proposed method is validated on a data set of 30 halo CMEs, with results showing comparable ability in transient arrival time prediction accuracy and the new ability to automatically predict the arrival time of a double CME event. The proposed method is the first automatic method to successfully calculate CME parameters from double CME events, making this automatic method applicable to a wider range of CME events.
Happiness in the ones who walk away from Omelas by Ursula K. Le Guin
Year: 2019

This study is conducted to analyze the short story by Ursula K. Le Guin entitled The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas. The purpose to analyze this short story is to better understand the general theme and the literary device that is found in this short story and as a vehicle for the researcher to give his own opinion regarding the general theme and the true meaning of the ending of this short story. To conduct this study, the researcher takes the data from the Short Story "the Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas" by Ursula K. Le Guin. The method of the research is the descriptive qualitative method applied by the researcher to analyse the study. The researcher uses the key principles of Wolfgang Iser's Reception Theory and New Criticism Theory such as the dynamism between the two poles of his reception theory, aesthetic and artistic. In this research, aesthetic means the short story itself while artistic means the text created by the researcher as the response. The result of the study shows that the literary devices such as plot, setting, point of view, etc at the beginning are all connected to the general theme of Happiness. Although, in the latter part of the short story the ironic side of the short story began to appear. The study also shows that some of the parts of the short story can be interpreted differently according to the researcher's opinion. and that the ending of the short story was well thought out according to the researcher's opinion.
An active high fidelity simulator device for newborn respiratory care: A multidisciplinary experience
Venue: 2017 IEEE International Conference on Cyborg and Bionic Systems (CBS)
Year: 2017

Neonatal endotracheal intubation is a complex procedure because of the complex newborn's airway anatomy. Excessive pressure on soft tissues during laryngoscopy can determine permanent damage, even during expert performance. Commercial passive skill trainers do not give valid feedback about this problem. The present study describes the engineering design and clinical assessment of an active neonatal skills and assessment trainer providing objective feedback during intubation manoeuvres. The most appropriate technical solutions for a proper sensorization methodology able to follow both the medical requirements and engineering constraints were identified. Commercial force sensors were fixed on a (c)Laerdal Neonatal Intubation Trainer in the areas that are mostly subject to pressure and potential damages (epiglottis and dental arches) Additionally, an home madepolymeric tongue was designed to integrate a matrix textile sensor for pressure mapping. An associated software provides real time sound feedback if pressure during laryngoscopy exceeds an established threshold. Pressure data are continuously recorded and exported in a database for subsequent analysis. Data examination from training sessions shown that the mainly stressed area is the epiglottis while the investigation performed on the tongue pressure provided both force values and distribution, in agreement with clinicians' performance. The proposed skill trainer represents a reliable model of intubation and the obtained results show its potential to optimize procedures related to the control of trauma risk and to improve personnel retraining.
