Abstract:
The rising interest in polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEFC) technology, part of the global shift in energy production to clean sources, is accompanied by efforts to drive down the cost of this technology, which focus primarily on the cathode catalyst, the most expensive PEFC component. While platinum-group metals (PGMs) continues to be the materials of choice for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalysts, use of these materials in PEFCs must be significantly reduced or eliminated without a penalty in the overall cell performance for PEFC technology to become fully viable. The most promising class ORR catalysts that do not utilize PGMs (i.e., PGM-free catalysts), involve first-row transition metals, such as iron and cobalt incorporated in a nitrogen-doped carbon (M-N-C catalysts). While advancements in M-N-C activity have been impressive, the much sought-after improvement in durability has been impeded by limited information on changes in the PGM-free catalyst active site density, activity and its degradation rate during fuel cell testing. Currently, degradation of PGM-free catalysts during fuel cell operation is often quantified using the low-current region of polarization curves. While this approach is well established, it neglects complications from such factors as catalyst pore structure, membrane conductivity, ionomer content, nature of the support, and the inhomogeneity of active sites. Hence, there exists a critical need for a method with high specificity towards catalytic activity. In this presentation we will report for the first time on the use of Fourier-transform alternating current voltammetry (FTacV) as an electrochemical method for accurately quantifying the electrochemically active site density of PGM-free ORR catalysts and following their degradation in situ during operation of polymer electrolyte fuel cells. Using this method, we were able to detect changes in performance of electrochemically active species (electrocatalytic centers in this case), allowing us to calculate the electrochemical active site density (EASD) for the first time, which is necessary to elucidate the degradation mechanisms of PGM-free ORR catalysts that occur in situ fuel cells. large-amplitude FTacV, a well-established electrochemical method with distinct advantages over dc methods, was utilized to quantify the electrochemically active site density of PGM-free FeNC catalysts in situ in PEFC. First, we will demonstrate that an accurate measurement of the EASD can be made using this method. To further emphasize the strength of the technique, we will present our findings during degradation of commercial FeNC catalysts in operating PEFC. The peak currents from higher harmonics produced by this method are correlated to the fuel cell performance, and decrease after durability tests in a manner that indicates EASD loss may not be the only catalyst degradation mechanism, thus inviting further studies of yet-unknown degradation pathway(s).

Abstract:
The rediscovery of the importance of mental illness in the risk assessment and management of those who threaten, approach, and harm public figures has led to a new way of dealing with those that threaten public figures. This approach emphasises the role of “fixation” which may be defined as an intense preoccupation pursued to an abnormally intense degree. It integrates a threat assessment paradigm with the literature on stalking. The need for such an approach was highlighted in research on the prevalence of harassment of public figures. Psychiatry has a key role in this approach which sees mental health clinicians and Police work together in Fixated Threat Assessment Centres (FTACs). An FTAC functions by assessing the level of concern and sharing information to facilitate interventions that are often mental health based. The purpose is not the hopeless task of identifying those who will go on to perpetrate serious violence, rather to intervene in the group they emerge from, to prevent harm. As well as decreasing risk to the persons fixated upon, this approach improves care to the mentally disordered people who harass and threaten them and, in doing so, decreases the likelihood of their criminalization while enhancing their quality of life. As expertise in the area has grown, policing and security agencies in several countries have expanded the FTAC model to cover individuals thought at risk of lone-actor grievance-fueled violence, a term that captures both different forms of mass killing and lone actor terrorism.

Abstract:
Under the 2016 Federal Tax Administration Proclamation (FTAP), it is by way of appeal that taxpayers reach the judiciary when they can show that the Federal Tax Appeal Commission (FTAC) has committed an error of law. As far as factual issues are concerned, the decision of the FTAC is thus final and conclusive. Ethiopia’s tax dispute resolution system has made improvements although there has been discontent on the part of taxpayers. This article examines the tax appeal processes at the federal level to see whether the processes enhance fair play between taxpayers and the tax authority. Specifically, the article evaluates whether there are clear and adequate procedural rules that ensure access to justice for aggrieved taxpayers and fair treatment by the Federal Tax Appeal Commission (FTAC). I argue that although there have been certain improvements made by the FTAP (as far as administrative appeal before the FTAC is concerned), there are still some critical shortcomings that have to be reconsidered.

Abstract:
INTRODUÇÃO: A fisioterapia na fase I da reabilitação cardiovascular (FTCV) pode ser iniciada de 12 a 24 horas após o infarto agudo do miocárdio (IAM), no entanto, é comum o repouso prolongado no leito em razão do receio de instabilização do paciente. OBJETIVOS: Avaliar as respostas autonômicas e hemodinâmicas de pacientes pós-IAM submetidos ao primeiro dia de protocolo de FTCV fase I, bem como sua segurança. MATERIAIS E MÉTODOS: Foram estudados 51 pacientes com primeiro IAM não complicado, 55 ± 11 anos, 76% homens. Foram submetidos ao primeiro dia do protocolo de FTCV fase I, em média 24 horas pós-IAM. A frequência cardíaca (FC) instantânea e os intervalos R-R do ECG foram captados pelo monitor de FC (Polar®S810i) e a pressão arterial (PA) aferida pelo método auscultatório. A variabilidade da FC foi analisada nos domínios do tempo (RMSSD e RMSM dos iR-R em ms) e da frequência. A densidade espectral de potência foi expressa em unidades absolutas (ms²/Hz) e normalizada (un) para as bandas de baixa (BF) e alta frequência (AF) e pela razão BF/AF. RESULTADOS: O índice RMSSD, a AF e a AFun apresentaram redução na execução dos exercícios em relação ao repouso pré e pós-exercício (p < 0,05), a BFun e a razão BF/AF aumentaram (p < 0,05). A FC e a PA sistólica apresentaram aumento durante a execução dos exercícios em relação ao repouso (p < 0,05). Não foi observado qualquer sinal e/ou sintoma de intolerância ao esforço. CONCLUSÕES: O exercício realizado foi eficaz, pois promoveu alterações hemodinâmicas e na modulação autonômica nesses pacientes, sem ocasionar qualquer intercorrência clínica.

Abstract:
The full-thickness articular cartilage defect (FTAC) is an abnormally severe grade of articular cartilage (AC) injury. An osteochondral autograft transfer (OAT) is the recommended treatment, but the increasing morbidity rate from osteochondral plug harvesting is a limitation. Thus, the 3D-printed bilayer’s bioactive-biomaterials scaffold is of major interest. Polylactic acid (PLA) and polycaprolactone (PCL) were blended with hydroxyapatite (HA) for the 3D-printed bone layer of the bilayer’s bioactive-biomaterials scaffold (B-BBBS). Meanwhile, the blended PLA/PCL filament was 3D printed and combined with a chitosan (CS)/silk firoin (SF) using a lyophilization technique to fabricate the AC layer of the bilayer’s bioactive-biomaterials scaffold (AC-BBBS). Material characterization and mechanical and biological tests were performed. The fabrication process consists of combining the 3D-printed structure (AC-BBBS and B-BBBS) and a lyophilized porous AC-BBBS. The morphology and printing abilities were investigated, and biological tests were performed. Finite element analysis (FEA) was performed to predict the maximum load that the bilayer’s bioactive-biomaterials scaffold (BBBS) could carry. The presence of HA and CS/SF in the PLA/PCL structure increased cell proliferation. The FEA predicted the load carrying capacity to be up to 663.2 N. All tests indicated that it is possible for BBBS to be used in tissue engineering for AC and bone regeneration in FTAC treatment.

Abstract The article provides a critical analysis of the new Danish Act on Use of Force in Somatic Treatment of Adults with a Permanently Impaired Ability to Give Consent (FTAC, Act no. 655 of 8 June 2017), which covers adults unable to give an informed consent. The rules in the Act are included in the legal framework governing medical treatment with and without consent in Denmark, and the article draws on international human rights in connection with the subject matter. The aim of the article is also to highlight the grey areas that still exist despite the new rules and to provide legal argumentation for solutions to the issues that can arise in these legal grey areas.

Abstract:
The Fixated Threat Assessment Centre (FTAC) manages the risk posed to public figures by fixated individuals by paying attention to their correspondence and approaches and liaising with the mental health and criminal justice agencies responsible for their management. This paper offers a narrative reflection on the clinical experience of this unusual work. The clinical population is significantly different from that seen in mainstream mental health services, with a preponderance of delusional disorders and paraphrenias. The interface with mental health and criminal justice systems around the UK and internationally also offers a unique perspective on the functioning and malfunctioning of these services, and we attempt to describe and make sense of these experiences.

The aim of this thesis is to discuss the seven bilateral foreign trade and economic cooperation agreements (including transitional agreements) signed by Taiwan, all of which in force: “Free Trade Agreement between the Republic of China and the Republic of Panama”, “Free Trade Agreement between the Republic of China (Taiwan) and the Republic of Guatemala”, ” Free Trade Agreement between the Republic of China (Taiwan) and the Republic of Nicaragua”, ” Free Trade Agreement between the Republic of China (Taiwan), the Republic of El Salvador and the Republic of Honduras”, ”Cross-Straits Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement”, “Agreement between the Separate Customs Territory of Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen, Matsu and New Zealand on Economic Cooperation”, “Agreement between the Separate Customs Territory of Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen, Matsu and Singapore on Economic Partnership” as well as the political economy analysis of the change in the name used by Taiwan as a signatory and in the contracting parties. This thesis is divided into five chapters. The first chapter includes a summary statement of the background in this research and the major discussion points; the second chapter reviews incidents of Cross-Strait governments fighting for "name rectification" in the international community and follow-up responses to find out an appropriate theory model; chapter three traces back to the source of the problems and to look at the Cross-Strait relations in a historical context; the fourth chapter examines the economic and trade relationship between Taiwan and its seven trading partners based on the statistics of economy and trade. In conclusion, the study found that regardless of what kind of foreign affairs Taiwan is dealing with, be it to name, to rename, or to look for a new identity, all of the policies were aimed at avoiding the enforcement of the central-local relations between Cross-Strait governments in the international community. Under this proposition, we can find that our decision-making behavior in dealing with foreign affairs in different periods is consistent. By the Name-Status Order Theory application, we found that the early fight between the Cross-Strait governments for “China’s representation” is largely based on the traditional “China ideology”, which can be attributed to the differences in values between the two parties. Since Taiwan has withdrawn from the United Nations, it is being pressured not to use its official name or the name “Taiwan” which emphasizes the independent status of both parties. This trend has deepened the recognition of “Taiwan identity”, which has forced Taiwan to be in the grey area of “inheriting the traditional orthodox legitimate principles” and “going independence”. This is in fact a strategy to reap practical benefits in expense of its own identity in order to maintain the foreign affairs relations with other countries.

Abstract:
Fixated threat assessment centers (FTACs) have been established in the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand. The model was developed to assess and manage risk from isolated loners who write concerning communications or make problematic approaches to politicians or the British royal family. It has recently been expanded to encompass risks of lone actor grievance-fueled violence more broadly. The essential feature of FTACs is that they are police units jointly staffed by police officers and psychiatric staff from the health service. Given the central role that mental state and motivation play in the assessment of risk, the presence of psychiatric personnel greatly enhances the power of risk assessment and catalyzes multiagency interventions with fixated loners, a population with high psychiatric morbidity. This chapter describes the function, structure, and operating methods of FTACs. The FTACs deal with forms of psychotic pathology rarely seen in psychiatric services, but well described by 19th-century phenomenologists.
