Abstract:
Since the opening of the University of Nebraska at Omaha’s (UNO) Community Engagement Center in 2014, both university and community building partners have been guided by a set of core values. Established by a community/university task force after months of focus groups, community conversations, and other data gathering activities, these values have helped provide a foundation for the selection of university and community building partners, decision-making, and ongoing operations. This study explored the ways in which building partner alignment with the Weitz CEC values influenced their subsequent perceived organizational capacity. Results indicated that embracing the values was positively associated with increased perceptions of organizational capacity. Essentially, those who indicated they embraced the values experienced heightened feelings of belongingness, participated in more networking activities, and agreed that the culture was more cooperative, which contributed to their organization’s perceived capacity.

Abstract:
Judges face a challenging task in determining the weight that ought to be accorded to the person (P)’s values and testimony in judicial deliberation about her capacity and best interests under the Mental Capacity Act 2005 (MCA). With little consensus emerging in judicial practice, incommensurable values drawn from divergent sources often collide in such cases. This paper outlines strict and flexible interpretations of the MCA’s values-based approach to making decisions about capacity and best interests, highlighting the problematic implications for the normative status of P’s values and the participatory role of P in judicial deliberations. The strict interpretation draws a false separation between ascertaining P’s values and the intrinsic value of enabling P’s participation in court proceedings; meanwhile, the flexible interpretation permits judicial discretion to draw on values which may legitimately override the expressed values of P. Whether in the ambiguous form of internal and/or extra-legal judicial values, these value sources demand further scrutiny, particularly regarding their intersection with the values held by P. We offer provisional normative guidelines, which set constraints on the appeal to extra-legal values in judicial deliberation and outline further research pathways to improve the justification around judicial decisions regarding P’s participation.

Abstract This article explores capacity to marry in depth, beyond the literal statements presented by legal acts in Estonia. Th e discussion will be focusing on answering the following questions: What is the nature of marriage capacity and how it has been developed in Estonia? What are the values that the Estonian Family Law Act (2010) protects when regulating marriage capacity? In addition a brief comparative analysis will seek to explain how different regulations of the EU member states on the same matter (marriage capacity) are. Th is can also help discussions on whether is it justified to talk about cultural differences of EU member states in the context of marriage capacity or not.

Abstract:
Masters in Public Administration - MPA
This research report sets up a model of policy development at Traditional Authority level in Namibia that is then used in examining the Ovambanderu constitutional case. Reference to the Generic Model, as used by de Coning (2000) and the Moore (1995) Strategic Triangle is not new or original to this thesis. These models have been used elsewhere and were considered as appropriate for this case study due to the complexity of the issues under consideration. This study attempts to demonstrate the importance of applying public policy models and theories to policy making in Namibia. Firstly, the author has applied the generic model to the Ovambanderu case to elicit information pertaining to the process followed in drafting the constitution. Secondly, the Moore Strategic Triangle was used in furthering discussion on the importance of considering phases and stages in the public policy process, which touch on such aspects as political feasibility, substantive value and administrative feasibility (Moore, 1995). The emphasis here was on the importance of dynamism in the policy-making process, not as a once off event but as an ongoing process. This research report shows that public policy/constitution making needs specialised skills in order for it to be a success. Capacity needs to be sourced and used appropriately, while objectives of the policy/constitution are communicated clearly to the stakeholders. Again the fear amongst the community that once a policy/constitution is implemented it becomes binding and difficult to change needs to be addressed by clearly informing people that a policy remains a statement of intent until it is put to use and once it is implemented there is always room for improvement on issues that may create problems for the affected parties. Another important lesson is the fact that public policy making has been and remains a process as it involves bargaining, issue prioritisation, issue filtration, advocacy, reporting and consultation before decisions are made. The Ovambanderu constitutional problem has now set a scene for better policy planning at Traditional Authority level and the government needs to consider this as a serious phenomenon that can lead to major problems if ignored

Full text
Abstract:
Disclosing a value system in a living will could be in your best interests: Whilst doctors are recognised for being expert in medical matters they are nevertheless generally required by law to obtain the consent of a competent adult patient prior to administering a medical treatment.1 The need for consent underpins the right of a competent adult patient to refuse treatment, even life preserving treatment. Accordingly, bodily inviolability is a fundamental principle of law and violation of it, even for benevolent reasons, is prima facie punishable. Instead of which a competent patient has a right to self-determine what shall happen to their own body. In this way the subjective decision-making standards and methods of a competent patient inform, and are made determinative, of any decision to accept or reject a medical treatment. It is against this general background that the comments of Lord Goff in the case of Bland should be considered. There he suggested that the best interests test should comprise of something more than purely professional appraisal of a person’s medical welfare.2 To confine the test in this way, he said, would be inconsistent with the primacy given to the principle of self-determination and would ‘downgrade the status of the incompetent person by placing a lesser value on [their] intrinsic worth and vitality’.3 So as the title to this thesis suggests I am primarily concerned with legal provisions governing medical treatment decision-making processes in respect of formerly competent adult patients. More specifically it questions whether the values, beliefs and preferences of members of this patient group should be more favourably promoted, i.e. used and made determinative, in medical treatment decision-making processes concerning them based on contemporary understanding and application of the moral principle of autonomy. Naturally this depends on whether a person’s value system can be accurately ascertained, recorded and protected to ensure that it is most fully promoted and respected in the future should a loss of decision-making capacity leave them unable to determine matters contemporaneously. Accordingly, the premise underlying this thesis is that the autonomous values, beliefs and preferences of a formerly competent person should be ascertained and recorded so that they can be understood and used by others to determine whether, and if so what, medical treatment is in the actual best interests of the patient. Essentially bodily integrity would be safeguarded if a surrogate decision-maker was able to determine what the patient would decide if they were competent to make that choice. A situation that is most desirable if we are not to downgrade the moral status of this particular group of incompetent patients. 1.The term generally has been used to denote the fact that the inviolability of persons is a fundamental principle of law and in a medical context this means that the administration of a medical treatment is dependent on some form of legal authority. As the primacy of the moral principle of autonomy is established in law doctors must obtain legal consent prior to administering a medical treatment. However, there are circumstances where the law remains paternalistic and medical treatment can be administered on the basis of an alternative legal authority, for example, the Mental Health Act 2007. 2.

Full text
Abstract:
Organisational Psychology’s focus on the formal business setting has resulted in the discipline limiting its potential contribution to and relevance in broader society. To address this shortfall this study was conducted in the paratransit industry, which is the largest contributor to the informal economy in South Africa. It is based on the argument that by applying discipline specific knowledge, Organisational Psychology may have the potential to assist in transforming the culture in the paratransit industry, a culture which has been described as violent, aggressive and undemocratic. As culture can shift through industry-leader driven changes in values, the first step was to understand what values are held by leaders within the paratransit industry. The second step was to find ways in which to shift values. Using Schwartz’s (1992) Theory of Basic Human Values as theoretical framework, this dissertation consequently served to surface the values among paratransit operators which may underlie the violent and aggressive culture in the Cape Town paratransit industry. Secondly, it sought to determine if value shifts may be achieved through formal business skills capacity training. To this end, the extent to which paratransit operators who had participated in such a training programme demonstrated different values to non-participant paratransit operators was assessed. By employing a quasi-experimental post-test design participants (n = 46) and non-participants (n = 46) in a particular three-year capacity-building programme responded to Schwartz et al.’s (2001) Portrait Values Questionnaire (PVQ), which assesses the universal value dimensions stipulated by Schwartz (1992), as well as to additional scales assessing trust in the City of Cape Town (CoCT) and Transport for Cape Town (TCT). The sample valued universalism, benevolence, conformity and security – values that are not generally associated with violent, aggressive and undemocratic behaviour. Power, on the other hand, was neither valued nor not valued although it had been expected to be espoused strongly. The only result in line with expectations was that participants valued stimulation to some extent. Participants indicated trust in the CoCT and TCT. While training participants and non-participant paratransit operators did not differ significantly in the degree to which they espoused the different values and their degree of trust in the two transport authorities, the effect sizes for the differences in conformity, power, security, and universalism as well as trust in the two transport authorities were meaningful. It needs to be noted, though, that a number of limitations in the study design, particularly that no pre-intervention data was available, means that it is not possible to assess if the values of paratransit operators had shifted over the duration of the programme. Consequently, one cannot be certain that such a programme is an effective means of shifting espoused values. If, however, the values espoused by participants in this study are a reflection of reality, then paratransit operators endorse values that lend themselves to the formation of a non-aggressive and democratic culture. Organisational psychologists can assist in bringing about a positive shift to the operating culture of the paratransit industry by translating these value-conform behaviours shown towards drivers and by encouraging similar behaviour in their work and over time, these minibus-taxi drivers may shift their values and behaviours in turn. From a theoretical perspective, the findings on the dimensionality of the PVQ in the sample suggest that even though Schwartz (1992) assumed the value dimensions in the Theory of Human Values to be universal, what indicates each of these value dimensions is context dependent. This calls into question the universal applicability of the PVQ as a measurement tool for these values. The relative endorsement of value dimensions in relation to each other, however, was found to be in line with Schwartz’s (1992) assumptions.

Abstract:
Introdução: A diferenciação entre saúde e doença do sistema respiratório torna-se mais difícil devido à tendência de envelhecimento populacional e da necessidade de identificação das alterações próprias da senescência. Os testes de função pulmonar constituem ferramentas clínicas importantes para avaliação respiratória e sua interpretação está baseada em equações de referência derivadas de amostra de indivíduos saudáveis, que podem não expressar adequadamente o comportamento nesta faixa etária específica, dada a reduzida representatividade de indivíduos idosos nos estudos que postularam tais equações. Objetivo: Verificar a acurácia das equações de referência disponíveis para testes de função pulmonar e cardiopulmonar de esforço em relação aos valores obtidos em amostra de indivíduos idosos hígidos e o impacto clínico na interpretação funcional baseada nestas equações. Metodologia: Estudo prospectivo observacional transversal, com voluntários saudáveis, com idade igual ou superior a 65 anos, não tabagistas, urbanos. Em uma única visita, foram coletados dados demográficos, antropométricos e clínicos, seguidos da realização de provas de função pulmonar em repouso (espirometria, medidas de volumes pulmonares e difusão) e do teste cardiopulmonar de exercício máximo (TCPE). Os resultados obtidos foram comparados com os valores esperados de acordo com equações de referência rotineiramente utilizadas para a interpretação (teste-T pareado e avaliação de concordância pelo diagrama de Bland-Altman) e a frequência de casos fora das faixas previstas foi determinada. Novas equações de referência foram geradas por regressão linear múltipla. Resultados: Foram incluídos 95 indivíduos (55 mulheres), com idade (anos) 75 ± 6 (feminino) e 74±6 (masculino). Caracterizou-se diferença significativa entre as médias dos parâmetros de função pulmonar em repouso observados e previstos por pelo menos 2 das 3 equações testadas para CVF, VEF1, CPT, VR e difusão para ambos os sexos. O mesmo ocorreu para os parâmetros funcionais ao exercício (carga e VO2 no pico do esforço) para 3 de 4 equações testadas. Não houve homogeneidade de um autor específico em predizer com melhor acurácia os valores observados na amostra testada para todos os parâmetros funcionais em ambos os sexos. A frequência de classificação de parâmetros fora das faixas de referência foi elevada para todas as equações avaliadas. Novas equações de referência foram apresentadas a partir dos dados obtidos. Conclusões: A utilização das equações de referência existentes apresentou aplicabilidade limitada à amostra de idosos saudáveis estudada, gerando elevados índices de valores sub e superestimados, potencialmente comprometendo a sensibilidade e especificidade dos testes. Foram derivadas equações idade-específicas para uma amostra de idosos suadáveis brasileiros, visando contemplar as mudanças fisiológicas nesta faixa etária
Introduction: Differentiating between health and disease of the respiratory system becomes more challenging due to the tendency of population aging and the need to identify themselves senescence changes. Pulmonary function tests are important tools for respiratory evaluation. Its interpretation is based on reference equations derived from healthy people studies that possibly not accordingly express the behavior at this particular age group, due to the low representativity of elderly individuals in the studies that postulated such equations. Objective: To verify the accuracy of reference equations available for pulmonary function and cardiopulmonary exercise tests in comparison to values obtained in a sample of healthy elderly subjects and assess the clinical impact on functional interpretation based on these equations. Methodology: Cross-sectional observational prospective study in healthy volunteers, aged over 65 years, non-smokers, urban living. Demographic, anthropometric and clinical data, were collected and pulmonary function tests at rest (spirometry, lung volumes measures and diffusing capacity pulmonary), and the maximal cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) were performed. Results were compared to the expected values according to reference equations routinely used for interpretation (paired t-test and evaluation agreement by Bland-Altman plot) and the frequency of cases outside the reference ranges were determined. New reference equations elderly-specific were generated using multiple linear regression. Results: 95 subjects (55 women), age (years) 75 ± 6 (female) and 74 ± 6 (male) were included. Significant difference between the mean lung function parameters observed versus predicted by at least 2 of 3 tested equations for FVC, FEV1, TLC, RV for both sexes were identified. The same occured for exercise measurements (load and VO2 at peak exercise) for 3 of 4 tested equations. There was no homogeneity of a particular author to predict more accurately values observed in the sample tested for all functional parameters in both sexes. There was high rates of out of reference range classification for all evaluated equations. New elderly-specific reference equations were presented from the data obtained. Conclusions: The use of existing reference equations had limited applicability to the sample of healthy elderly studied, generating high rates of under and overestimated values, potentially compromising the sensitivity and specificity of the tests. Age-specific equations were derived from a sample of Brazilian healthy elderly, aiming to represent the physiological changes in this age group

Abstract:
The research aims to analyse the concept of the 'holiday home' in Italy, a phenomenon that is not very well known and not given sufficient visibility in the tourism sector. The objective is to grasp the role and the degree of response that the holiday homes can offer in order to consolidate a genuinely social and sustainable tourism, which is the specific feature of the Associazione di Promozione Sociale Santa Lucia. The holiday homes represent an efficacious response to the emerging motivations for travel and a new sensitivity towards social and sustainable tourism. The growing opportunities for this sector call for reflection on the mission and future positioning of the holiday homes within the tourist reception panorama, with the deriving choices relating to: the offer, consisting of values more than of services; the functions fulfilled, intimately bound up with the demands of the individual and the territory; the quality of the service, which is not generic but linked to the functions and can be measured in line with objective and subjective parameters. Strategic awareness, managerial capacity and elevated professionalism at all levels are the factors of legitimisation and success of this original reception formula.

Abstract:
AbstractValue-based medicine recognises the legitimacy of value differences. These may be associated with differences amongst individuals’ values or cultural differences. The latter arise in the case discussed here where the parents of a young man who hale from India discuss covert treatment with a psychiatrist (who is also from India). As the young man has decision-making capacity, and the case takes place in the UK, this is not a legal option. But it is possible that it might have been acceptable in India. However, transcultural analyses of cultural differences call attention to the internal variety of cultures, and this is explored in this case. It is suggested that judgements about capacity may contain judgements about whether a person’s choices are unacceptably harmful to them.

Abstract:
Ecosystem services are all goods and benefits that humans obtain from ecosystems. These are essential for human survival, social and economic development. With the impacts of climate change, ecosystem degradation and loss of biodiversity, the efficient and complete provision of ecosystem services is also under threat. The paper presents community capacity building activities on ecosystem services and climate change implemented under the ECO - SMART project (Cooperation program Interreg V-A ItalySlovenia 2014-2020). Since the design of coordinated local climate change adaptation plans of selected pilot Natura 2000 sites in Slovenia and Italy is a project objective, activities aimed at strengthening competences of crossborder local communities and confronting different stakeholder views are of particular importance. The educational needs of the community were identified through a questionnaire. The respondents' knowledge regarding mentioned contents, interest for capacity building and participation in training events were analysed. The results were taken in consideration during design of capacity building activities.

Abstract:
Elements of the city road network that determine its capacity are signalized intersections. Their capacity depends of many factors: traffic volume and distribution, traffic flow structure, signal timing, and number of bicyclists and pedestrians. However, the starting parameter for calculation of intersection capacity is saturation headway. This research explores the influence of weather conditions and purpose of trip on saturation headway. Saturation headways were determined on few intersections in the morning peak hour of working and weekend day, in good and bad weather conditions. The impact of different trip purposes and different weather conditions on intersection capacity is analysed, as well as the influence of using mean and median values of saturation headway when calculating the intersection capacity.

Abstract:
The state of charge (SOC) of Vanadium Redox Flow Battery (VRFB) plays an important role in the operation and control of the Battery system. The value of SOC can be defined as the ratio of the remaining capacity to the rated capacity of the battery. Current measurement of SOC of VRFB is limited to one certain charge-discharge circulation so the rated capacity is known and can be regarded as a constant. However, during long time cycling, the capacity of VRFB will reduce gradually to a relatively low level so that the capacity of the battery cannot be seen as the constant value of rated capacity, which makes it difficult to measure the SOC accurately in real-time operation. This work presents a neural network based method of measuring the capacity and SOC for VRFB in real time. The capacity is firstly classified into three levels in terms of the loss degree by a Probabilistic Neural Network (PNN) using the values of the voltage per second and the average power of the cell stack in any period of the circulation. The values of capacity which fall within different levels are then given by different Back Propagation Neural Networks (BPNN) trained by the battery operation values in corresponding level. Finally, the SOC can be obtained by the calculated capacity. All the networks are validated by experimental data and the results indicate that the method is suitable for the measurement of VRFB capacity and SOC in the practical application.

Abstract:
The mathematical model and the methodology of the reliability prediction of generating units are presented. Based on statistical analysis of operation reliability past data for generating units, statistical values of the repair factor and the mathematical model’s parameters of the repair factor are determined. According to plan repair outage days and the mathematical model for the repair factor of some generating unit, equivalent availability factor (EAF) of the generating unit can be predicted in future three years. The reliability prediction examples for sub-critical 300MW, supercritical 600MW and sub-critical 600MW fossil units are given together with reliability prediction results of 550MW hydro units and 984MW, 990MW nuclear units. The relative error’s range for equivalent availability factor prediction values of the generating units is between −1.48% and 2.69% which indicates that reliability prediction precision is higher. By using reliability prediction method, prediction values for the reliability indexes of generating units can be quantitatively calculated, which provides a basis for reliability objective management and optimization repair of generating units.

Abstract:
In 2016 the government of Vanuatu introduced a National Gender Equality Policy. A second phase of the policy will be implemented in 2020–2024. Insights from key informants working on gender in Vanuatu reveal that there have been some positive developments in the first policy phase. A number of challenges remain, however, including limited capacity in a number of key institutions, and resistance to progress caused by prevailing conservative and patriarchal values and beliefs in Vanuatu. In the absence of other legal instruments for LGBTQI+/SOGI equality, perspectives vary on whether this aspect of gender equality should be included in the revised policy.

Full text
Abstract:
The U.S. national parks have experienced significant climate-change impacts and rapid, on-going changes are expected to continue. Despite the significant climate-change vulnerabilities facing parks, relatively few parks have conducted comprehensive climate-change vulnerability assessments, defined as assessments that synthesize vulnerability information from a wide range of sources, identify key climate-change impacts, and prioritize vulnerable park resources (Michalak et al. In review). In recognition that funding and planning capacity is limited, this project was initiated to identify geographies, parks, and issues that are high priorities for conducting climate-change vulnerability assessments (CCVA) and strategies to efficiently address the need for CCVAs across all U.S. National Park Service (NPS) park units (hereafter “parks”) and all resources. To help identify priority geographies and issues, we quantitatively assessed the relative magnitude of vulnerability factors potentially affecting park resources and values. We identified multiple vulnerability factors (e.g., temperature change, wildfire potential, number of at-risk species, etc.) and sought existing datasets that could be developed into indicators of these factors. To be included in the study, datasets had to be spatially explicit or already summarized for individual parks and provide consistent data for at least all parks within the contiguous U.S. (CONUS). The need for consistent data across such a large geographic extent limited the number of datasets that could be included, excluded some important drivers of climate-change vulnerability, and prevented adequate evaluation of some geographies. The lack of adequately-scaled data for many key vulnerability factors, such as freshwater flooding risks and increased storm activity, highlights the need for both data development and more detailed vulnerability assessments at local to regional scales where data for these factors may be available. In addition, most of the available data at this scale were related to climate-change exposures, with relatively little data available for factors associated with climate-change sensitivity or adaptive capacity. In particular, we lacked consistent data on the distribution or abundance of cultural resources or accessible data on infrastructure across all parks. We identified resource types, geographies, and critical vulnerability factors that lacked data for NPS’ consideration in addressing data gaps. Forty-seven indicators met our criteria, and these were combined into 21 climate-change vulnerability factors. Twenty-seven indicators representing 12 vulnerability factors addressed climate-change exposure (i.e., projected changes in climate conditions and impacts). A smaller number of indictors measured sensitivity (12 indicators representing 5 vulnerability factors). The sensitivity indicators often measured park or landscape characteristics which may make resources more or less responsive to climate changes (e.g., current air quality) as opposed to directly representing the sensitivity of specific resources within the park (e.g., a particular rare species or type of historical structure). Finally, 6 indicators representing 4 vulnerability factors measured external adaptive capacity for living resources (i.e., characteristics of the park and/or surrounding landscape which may facilitate or impede species adaptation to climate changes). We identified indicators relevant to three resource groups: terrestrial living, aquatic living (including living cultural resources such as culturally significant landscapes, plant, or animal species) and non-living resources (including infrastructure and non-living cultural resources such as historic buildings or archeological sites). We created separate indicator lists for each of these resource groups and analyzed them separately. To identify priority geographies within CONUS,...

Full text
Abstract:
Demand for public hospital emergency departments’ services and care is increasing, placing considerable restraint on their performance and threatens patient safety. Many factors influence such demand including individual characteristics (e.g. perceptions, knowledge, values and norms), healthcare availability, affordability and accessibility, population aging, and internal health system factors (e.g patient flow, discharge process). To alleviate demand, many initiatives have been trialled or suggested, including early identification of at-risk patients, better management of chronic disease to reduce avoidable ED presentation, expanded capacity of front-line clinician to manage sub-acute and non-urgent care, improved hospital flow to reduce access block, and diversion to alternate site for care. However, none have had any major or sustained impact on the growth in ED demand. A major focus of the public discourse on ED demand has been the use and integration of primary healthcare and ED, based on the assumption that between 10%–25% of ED presentations are potentially avoidable if patients’ access to appropriate primary healthcare (PHC) services were enhanced. However, this requires not only improved access but also appropriateness in terms of the patients’ preference and PHC providers’ capacity to address the needs. What is not known at the moment is the extent of the potential for diversion of non-urgent ED patients to PHC and the cost-benefits of such policy and funding changes required, particularly in the Australian context. There is a need to better understand ED patients’ needs and capacity constraint so as to effect delivery of accessible, affordable, efficient and responsive services. Jennie Money Doug Morel

Abstract:
Antioxidant activity of fruits is gaining wide interest among consumers due to its importance in counteracting oxidative stress, free radicals and preventing DNA damage. Oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) assay is one of the commonly used assays to measure the antioxidant activity, which is based on hydrogen atom transfer mechanism. Furocoumarins present in grapefruit are reported to have antiproliferative activity, induce GST activity, inhibit biofilm formation and increase bioavailability of drugs. In the present project ORAC values were measured of Star Ruby grapefruit undergone ethylene degreening treatment, cold storage and temperature conditioning treatment, and modified atmosphere packaging which were stored at different temperatures for prolonged period. In addition, furocoumarins were quantified in Star Ruby grapefruits from cold storage and conditioning experiment conducted in Israel. Conditioning treatment is practiced prior cold storage to reduce chilling injury in grapefruits during cold storage for prolonged period. Levels of 6,7-dihyrdoxy bergamottin decreased during storage period in all three treatments.
