Abstract:
Helen Keleher is Associate Professor in the School of Health and Social Development, Deakin University.Kerreen Reiger is Associate Professor in the School of Social Sciences, La Trobe University.Since the late 1980s, Maternal and Child Health Services (MCHS) in Victoria have undergone significant change. This paper provides an historically-informed analysis of the complex intersection of policy, administrative restructuring and stakeholder interests. It draws on and extends the authors' previous research into MCH Service policy directions and administration, including the impact of Compulsory Competitive Tendering (CCT) on MCH nurses in the 1990s. Historically there has been little explicit debate about either organisational arrangements, or the policy objectives of the MCHS. The dominant focus on health surveillance of infants never adequately reflected nurses' wider role in the community and was not consistent with a wider social model of health. Tensions between professional, consumer and administrative stakeholders became heightened by the implementation of the 1990s neoliberal political agenda. During this period, when restructuring linked funding to service delivery through tendering arrangements, apolitical and policy settlement further institutionalised surveillance as the basis of the MCHS. The restructured Service has remained constrained by the dominance of health surveillance as the primary program goal even after more varied contracting arrangements replaced CCT. Although recent initiatives indicate signs of hange, narrow surveillancebased guidelines for Victorian MCH Services are not consistent, we argue, with recent early years of life policy which calls for approaches derived from socio-ecological models of health.

Abstract:
Gender as a social category playing a role in the process of how mothers perceive their newborns was investigated. 94 primiparous mothers completed a survey that included a physical and an emotional scale on their newborn infants. Neither scale as a whole discriminated between the male and female newborns; however, a one-way analysis of variance did identify four statistically discriminating items. The four items evidence maternal perceptions that sex-stereotype males as having broad, wide hands, looking tall and large, looking athletic, and being mostly serious—not smiling but not crying. Maternal sex-stereotyped perceptions for daughters would be the inverse of these. 30 items gave similar maternal ratings between the two gender sets. These confirmed prior work in 1974 showing sex-stereotyped physical characteristics outnumber the emotional characteristics. The similarity of current conclusions to the 1974 data suggests less than expected fundamental parental attitudinal change due to increased societal interest and attention to gender and sex-stereotyping.

Abstract:
Since the Millennium Declaration in 2000, unprecedented progress has been made in the reduction of global maternal mortality. Millennium Development Goal 5 (MDG 5; improving maternal health) includes two primary targets, 5A and 5B. Target 5A aimed for a 75% reduction in the global maternal mortality ratio (MMR), and 5B aimed to achieve universal access to reproductive health. Globally, maternal mortality since 1990 has nearly halved and access to reproductive health services in developing countries has substantially improved. In setting goals and targets for the post-MDG era, the global maternal health community has recognised that ultimate goal of ending preventable maternal mortality is now within reach. The new target of a global MMR of <70 deaths per 100 000 live births by 2030 is ambitious, yet achievable and to reach this target a significantly increased effort to promote and ensure universal, equitable access to reproductive, maternal and newborn services for all women and adolescents will be required. In this article, as we reflect on patterns, trends and determinants of maternal mortality, morbidity and other key MDG5 indicators among adolescents, we aim to highlight the importance of promoting and protecting the sexual and reproductive health and rights of adolescents as part of renewed global efforts to end preventable maternal mortality.

Abstract In this study, we compared storytelling of a pictured narrative, Frog, Where Are You?, by 6 Deaf and 6 hearing mothers in American Sign Language (ASL) and in English, respectively. How do these mothers construct their stories, that is, how do they mark episodes? And how do English-speakers' strategies differ from ASL-users' strategies? We found that stories in ASL contained more explicit markers to signal both local and global relations of the narrative. Because of modality and grammatical differences between English and ASL, Deaf mothers seemed to have more strategies available to use. Although the overall pattern of use throughout the story was similar, Deaf mothers appeared to be more "dramatic" in their storytelling than were hearing mothers. Both groups of parents used a variety of markers to call their children's attention to the theme of the story. (Psychology)

Abstract:
Objective: Identifying that there is a lack of Canadian evidence surrounding the interaction between ethnicity and reproductive risk factors and neonatal outcomes, this study sought to report on risk factors and outcomes amongst high-risk newborns requiring intensive neonatal care. Study Design: The data source for this project was the Canadian Neonatal Network™ (CNN) Database. The CNN maintains a national standardized database that collects information on selected neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) practices and outcomes on every neonate admitted to a Canadian NICU. Results: Mothers at risk of delivering newborns requiring intensive care showed differing perinatal priorities on the basis of ethnic origin. Furthermore, there were differences in the risk of mortality and major morbidity among newborns born of different ethnic backgrounds. The risks of poor infant outcome associated with ethnicity were observed over and above the presence of other well known risk factors for adverse outcome. Conclusions: Increasing our understanding of ethnically-related differences in reproductive health issues is important in order to be able to minimize disparities in health delivery on the basis of ethnicity and to improve health outcomes for all.

Abstract:
In this essay, I argue that issues of voyeurism and scopophilia raised in Laura Mulvey’s early essay, “Visual Pleasure in Narrative Cinema,” are closely related to the social and economic shifts which occurred during the post-war period. Specifically, I argue that Mulvey’s essay articulates a particular kind of formal technique associated with what she calls “non-narrative scopophilia,” a kind of long-take shot that is utilized to great effect by Alfred Hitchcock in two of his later films, Rear Window (1955) and Psycho (1960). I argue that these shots represent a disruption to the smooth functioning of the classical Hollywood model of narrative and gender ideology in the post-war period tied closely to the changing economic realities of the period. I further argue that such a disruption is closely related to a new model of consumerism that emerges during this period.

Professor Michael Cima in MIT's Department of Materials Science and Engineering has developed a new approach for sensing NOx (nitric oxide and nitrogen dioxide), and Christophoros Vassiliou, a Masters of Engineering student in Electrical Engineering, is working with Cima on the development of the technology in the lab. The novelty of the electrochemical sensor is that it employs a molten alkali carbonate electrolyte as opposed to sensors with solid electrolytes, which are generally used. While the science of the sensor is still under development, Cima has targeted diesel engines for implementation. The purpose of this thesis was to assess the value of the technology and suggest possible actions. By looking at the structure, trends, and competitive drivers in the market for automotive gas sensors, I have outlined the plausibility and grounds for obtaining a patent and also suggested possible licensing opportunities or partners to fund reduction to practice. Such companies include Ceramatec, Bosch, and City Technology.

Full text
Abstract:
This dissertation explores a unique body of historical writings published in the native-language newspapers of the Hawaiian kingdom during the 19th century and examines the incorporation of these materials into contemporary knowledge. Scholars of the 20th century have translated a fraction of the historical material, reorganized its contents and published those portions as reference texts on Hawaiian history, culture and ethnography. These English presentations, along with other translated texts have become an English-language canon of Hawaiian reference material that is widely used today. The canon of translated texts is problematic in that it alters the works of the original authors, recasting important auto-representational writings by Hawaiians of the 19th century into a modern Western framework. General reliance upon these translated texts has fostered a level of authority for the canon texts similar to that of primary source material. Such authority and reliance have in many ways eclipsed the Hawaiian authors' original works and have obscured the larger corpus of published writings from the period. General acceptance of the sufficiency of the translated works, a dearth of access tools and few fluent readers of Hawaiian has resulted in much of the archive of historical material remaining unutilized and largely inaccessible to date. However, the impetus of Hawaiian language renewal efforts and more recent Hawaiian scholarship has brought new attention to this body of writings, and such awareness is generating new efforts to rearticulate this neglected resource into the production of knowledge, now and in the future.

Abstract:
Nel presente lavoro espongo i risultati degli esperimenti svolti durante la mia internship all’Institut des NanoSciences de Paris (INSP), presso l’Università Pierre et Marie Curie (Paris VI), nel team "Phisico-Chimie et Dynamique des Surfaces", sotto la supervisione del Dott. Geoffroy Prévot. L’elaborato è stato redatto e in- tegrato sotto la guida del Dott. Pasquini, del dipartimento di Fisica e Astronomia dell’Università di Bologna. La tesi s’inserisce nel campo di ricerca del silicene, i.e. l’allotropo bidimensionale del silicio. Il cosidetto free-standing silicene è stato predetto teoricamente nel 2009 utilizzando calcoli di Density Functional Theory, e da allora ha stimolato un’intensa ricerca per la sua realizzazione sperimentale. La sua struttura elettronica lo rende particolarmente adatto per eventuali appli- cazioni tecnologiche e sperimentali, mentre lo studio delle sue proprietà è di grande interesse per la scienza di base. Nel capitolo 1 presento innanzitutto la struttura del silicene e le proprietà previste dagli studi pubblicati nella letteratura scientifica. In seguito espongo alcuni dei risultati sperimentali ottenuti negli ultimi anni, in quanto utili per un paragone con i risultati ottenuti durante l’internship. Nel capitolo 2 presento le tecniche sperimentali che ho utilizzato per effettuare le misure. Molto tempo è stato investito per ottenere una certa dimistichezza con gli apparati in modo da svolgere gli esperimenti in maniera autonoma. Il capitolo 3 è dedicato alla discussione e analisi dei risultati delle misure, che sono presentati in relazione ad alcune considerazioni esposte nel primo capitolo. Infine le conclusioni riassumono brevemente quanto ottenuto dall’analisi dati. A partire da queste considerazioni propongo alcuni esperimenti che potrebbero ulteriormente contribuire alla ricerca del silicene. I risultati ottenuti su Ag(111) sono contenuti in un articolo accettato da Physical Review B.

Abstract:
Magister Artium - MA
This mini-thesis attempts to analyse the way in which Van Kalker photographs enabled representations of the self and allowed sitters a means through which to assert themselves visually especially when considered against a backdrop fraught with the socio-economic and political tensions of apartheid. The Van Kalker Studio, started by the late J. G. Van Kalker in 1937 at 47 Victoria Street, Woodstock became one of the most popular photo studios in Cape Town. Despite the effects of apartheid legislation such as the Group Areas Act (1950), the studio retained its prominence as an institution in which to mark memorable occasions. I have selected these photographs because it has become pivotal to consider how these intimate, beautiful and complex photographs speak to questions of the personal and the familial within an unfolding history of the city of Cape Town. By considering the Van Kalker photographs not only as mere images but as material objects with historical traces that are enmeshed in highly emotive processes of production, usage, exchange, storage, and collection, it creates the possibility that meaning can be found in the way in which photographs are presented, and how they are appropriated and disseminated. Although the significance of photographs as material objects has been largely overlooked or fleetingly explored, I intend to address that loss of material understanding in the thesis by regarding the Van Kalker photographs both as images and material objects that co-exist together. In pushing the argument of the thesis further, I will argue that through the display of Van Kalker photographs as material objects in prominent positions in the domestic interior, it serves as poignant reminders of personal and familial relations. Through an exploration of the Van Kalker photographs and the way in which they were appropriated, this thesis aims to weave an ephemeral visual seam across time and space, one that especially connects those that had theirphotographs taken at the Van Kalker studio despite their geographical dis/location.

Abstract:
The healthy physical, cognitive and social development of infants depends on nurturing relationships. The earliest relationship is usually between the mother and her infant, and mother-infant gaze plays a crucial role. This thesis examines maternal looking—the unidirectional looking by a mother at her newborn baby over the first hours and days post birth—as a precursor to bi-directional mother-infant gaze. Maternal looking allows the mother time to adjust to her actual baby, which may be pivotal for the mother-infant relationship. Midwives work closely with mothers and their babies perinatally. They are well placed to identify those mothers who struggle to look at their babies and respond with an appropriate intervention to support the crucial but vulnerable mother-newborn relationship. However, they have not had specific tools to assist them to do this. The research explores how the more subtle features of a mother’s looking at her newborn may mirror the meaning she makes of that newborn. By identifying or characterising these features, midwives can recognise mothers at risk and help them to look at their babies. Two studies were conducted. Study 1 used video to examine how mothers look at their newborns. Using an iterative design, intensive analysis identified and categorised patterns of looking and looking-related behaviours. This resulted in a typology of looking, which in turn generated a one-page clinical tool for midwives. Study 2 subjected the tool to inter-rater reliability testing using midwives as multiple raters. The results of this study show that the tool has moderate reliability. The tool, which has subsequently been named the Maternal Looking Guide, enables the assessment of mothers’ looking behaviour over six constructs and then allocation to one of three overall categories of looking: comfortable, uncomfortable, and worrisome. These categories distinguish women who are doing well (comfortable), those who need a referral to an expert perinatal service (worrisome) and those to whom midwives could offer something extra (uncomfortable). It is this third intermediate group, the uncomfortable mothers, that the research aims to help midwives identify. The Maternal Looking Guide is a practical, reliable tool that can be used for early assessment and decision-making about the mother-infant relationship. This research raises the profile of infant mental health in the midwifery profession. Implications of the research and ways that it may stimulate further research in the field of infant mental health are identified.

The company predicted in early 2016 year, the company earnings NTD 5 per share, but the mid-term found that the budget can’t be reached, the 2016 year earnings per share will be reduced to NTD -5 , if the insider learned that the financial projections down and sell some of the shares, there is a violation Insider trading? Haven’t any update obligations, when the company found that the budget cannot be reached? Aren’t the results different, if the company did not disclose financial forecasts? 　　Second, our country has no similar provisions of the United States forward-looking safe harbor, is the possibility of setting up in our country, to reduce the risk of corporate liability? Whether is the possibility of setting administrative penalties in Taiwan’s insider trading? Why does the non-guaranteed financial forecast constitute an insider transaction? Why the same financial forecast because of information disclosure and non-disclosure and have different legal effects? Should the materiality of non-guaranteed financial forecast information be judged differently from historical information of a secured nature or of information that has not yet been determined but is already in the making and has a high chance of success (e.g. mergers and acquisitions)? What is the judicial review of the insider trading related to financial forecasting? Is it possible to establish a multi-stage judgment on the materiality of liquidity financial forecast? 　　Based on the above issue, get on research. This thesis is consists of six chapters; the first chapter is an introduction, aimed at illustrating the research background and motivation, scope, methods and framework of this thesis. The second chapter is the disclosure of the information of the securities exchange law, the first part introduces the purpose and principle of the securities exchange law disclosure of information, followed by the introduction of relevant provisions of the information disclosure of the US listed companies, and finally introduces the relevant provisions of the disclosure of information of the listed companies in our country. The third chapter is predictive financial information of forward-looking statements, first introduced American forward-looking statements history, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on financial forecasts and financial projections of administrative guidance, forward-looking statements safe harbor rules and legislations , forward-looking statements of judicial review--- bespeak caution; secondly, introduced forward-looking statements in our country, including the historical evolution of Taiwan 's financial forecast and the current financial forecasting system; and finally, compare our forward-looking statements with the United States. The fourth chapter is to prohibit the general rules of the insider trading; first of all, introduce the history of the insider trading between Taiwan and the United States; secondly, introduce the theory of the American insider trading protection; finally, introduce the specification of the insider trading in our country, different specification of insider trading will have different components. The fifth chapter is about the relationship between financial forecasting and insider trading; firstly, introduce the basic concepts of economic analysis of law, including ideology and development, basic tool; secondly, introduce the legal relationship between financial forecasting and insider trading, our court to update the financial forecast information constitutes a judicial review of insider trading, a list the materiality judgment reference index, constructing the multi-stage reviewing and predicting process of the predictive financial information, and the materiality judgment of the predictive financial information at each stage; finally, introducing the information disclosure and insider trading economic analysis of law, includes economic analysis of information disclosure , economic analysis of bespeak caution phrases and safe harbors, economic analysis of adding administrative penalty of insider trading , economic analysis of unification domestic insider trading protection purpose. The sixth chapter is the conclusion and suggestion of this article. Through the above research, this paper tries to find a suitable answer for A case, and puts forward the opinions and suggestions on the problems found after the current forecasting financial information and the insider trading are researched.

Abstract:
AbstractMisoprostol has been hailed as a revolution within global maternal health research and policy communities because of its potential to reduce maternal mortality from post-partum haemorrhage and unsafe abortion, allowing relatively safe abortion in legal and illegal settings. However, we know little about how women who want to use misoprostol access it to induce abortion. Based on 15 months of ethnographic fieldwork in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, this chapter describes and analyses how women gain access to misoprostol to induce abortion within a setting where induced abortion is legally restrictive and where the legal use of misoprostol is limited to post-abortion care and post-partum haemorrhage. The findings show that women seeking abortions in Ouagadougou are able to access misoprostol through unofficial channels, specifically through health workers and drug vendors. While this unofficial use of misoprostol is relatively safer, and more affordable than other options, access is not equally distributed and the cost women pay for the drug varies significantly. While women with strong social networks and financial resources can access misoprostol easily, other women who do not have money to buy misoprostol may become victims of sexual violence from men from whom they seek abortion services. In Ouagadougou, access to abortion with misoprostol is shaped by health workers and the social and economic conditions of the women who seek it. The study uses the concepts of ‘pharmaceutical diversion’ and ‘domestication’ as adjacent analytical frameworks to emphasize the changing pattern of access to misoprostol. The chapter introduces the importance of looking at safe access to safe abortion.

Abstract:
AbstractIn this chapter, I tell the story of the waxing and waning of the status of the traditional birth attendant (TBA) in global maternal health policy from the launch of the Safe Motherhood Initiative in 1987 to the present. Once promoted as part of the solution to reducing maternal mortality, the training and integration of TBAs into formal healthcare systems in the global south was deemed a failure and side-lined in the late 1990s in favour of ‘a skilled attendant at every birth’. This shift in policy has been one of the core debates in the history of the global maternal health movement and TBAs continue to be regarded with deep ambivalence by many health providers, researchers and policymakers at the national and global levels. In this chapter, I take a critical global heath perspective that scrutinises the knowledge, policy and practice of global health in order to make visible the broader social, cultural and political context of its making. In this chapter, I offer a series of critiques of global maternal health policy regarding TBAs: one, that the evidence cited to underpin the policy shift was weak and inconclusive; two, that the original TBA component itself was flawed; three, that the political and economic context of the first decade of the SMI was not taken into account to explain the failure of TBAs to reduce maternal mortality; and four, that the reorganisation of the Safe Motherhood movement at the global level demanded a new humanitarian logic that had no room for the figure of the traditional birth attendant. I close the chapter by looking at the return of TBAs in global level policy, which, I argue, is bolstered by a growing evidence base, and also by the trends towards ‘self-care’ and point-of-use technologies in global health.

Abstract:
Henk Wiechers discusses the relationship between the concept of glitch feminism and platform urbanism with a sectoral focus on mobility platforms. Looking for glitches in everyday workings of platforms is seen as a way to envision emancipatory potentials in these interactions. Here, mobility platforms serve as a fitting example, due to their manifold material and social interconnections between platforms and urban space. In three scenes deduced from autoethnographic field visits the author identifies three perspectives on how to investigate mobility platforms through the lens of the glitch and points out aspects where further research is needed.

Full text
Abstract:
Mycocomposites have received special attention from both academic and commercial environments. These materials give a new purpose to agricultural residues, bringing benefits to companies, society and the environment. Currently, they have been studied to replace synthetic materials such as polyester. However, its field of application is still very limited, making it necessary for more research to be carried out. In this work, mycocomposites were produced in two configurations: without jute and with two jute arranged at 1/3 of the thickness in relation to the surfaces perpendicular to loading plains during bending and compression tests. The base substrate used consisted of coconut mesocarp, white wood sawdust and wheat grain pre-myceliated by the fungus Pycnopurus sanguineus. Analysis by confocal microscopy showed that the fungus produced a network of mycelial hyphae capable of uniting substrate components and incorporated jute. Composites’ mechanical properties were evaluated from three-point bending tests and compression tests. The Shapiro-Wilk tests showed that all determined mechanical properties are normally distributed. The highest compressive resistance (10% deformation) was found in the mycocomposite without jute. The analysis of variance showed that the mean flexural strength of the two configurations analyzed did not present any statistically significant difference; despite this, the composite without jute proved to be more rigid. It was verified that the flexural strength of the produced mycocomposites is located between the values found for the expanded polystyrenes EPS 100 and EPS 150, but that their compressive strength was lower. At first, the materials produced in this work exhibited the necessary properties to be applied in simple pieces such as lampshades, packaging, and plant vases. However, it is still necessary that new studies are carried out to verify the feasibility of its application in the field of engineering, such as in civil construction panels, where EPS are used.

Vickers indentation result show that the KIC of this material is 0.3 MPa m1/2. Intentional defects from the indentation show that the <100> direction is the weakest direction and that electrical fatigue is fastest in the <100> direction. By looking at the hysteresis behavior of this material before and after the fatigue runs, the material ages over time.

Abstract:
Depth impressions are an inward associative layer of the expressed impressions of humans. To analyze tactile interaction, it is essential to examine what users feel and imagine and how they create depth impressions by touching and looking at different materials. On the basis of tactile interactions, this study captures and analyzes users’ depth impressions on materials. We propose impressionable new tactile material for design from the viewpoint of depth impressions and emotional engineering. We employed a concept networks-based method to analyze the experimentally obtained verbalized protocols and to identify the depth impressions. We found that the feel of materials’ tactile naturalness is related to the depth impressions and concept networks’ complexity. The depth impressions and concept network of the proposed micro-print material are distinct and beyond that of existing natural or artificial materials. These findings will help in employing new analysis tools and developing better tactile materials for designing products.

Abstract:
<p>The use of mass timber as a structural element is not a new phenomenon. For example, within almost every major city in the world, there are upscale enclaves centered around the adaptive reuse of factories and warehouses from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. These former industrial structures are almost always constructed from masonry and mass timber.</p><p>Within the past decade, the building industry has seen a renewed interest in mass timber structures. This resurgence has been fueled by several trends, including the mass production of Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) and a growing awareness of mass timber’s sustainable advantages. A number of high-profile heavy timber structures have found commercial success in the United States and abroad. Leading architectural practices such as Skidmore Owings &amp; Merrill (SOM) have used research initiatives like the Timber Tower Research Project to jump-start a fertile debate within the design industry. On the demand side, building owners have pushed the design community to find innovative ways to incorporate mass timber into their projects.</p><p>This interest has often driven designers and builders to aggressively distinguish their projects from predecessors, pushing for pure mass timber structures while giving less consideration to hybrid structures (mass timber and masonry/concrete structures). This bias towards material purity risks ignoring important lessons from the past and may in some cases lead to inefficient structural choices and structures with less durability and sustainability than their hypothetical hybrid counterparts.</p><p>This paper posits that some of the energy generated by a resurgence in mass timber construction would be well spent on understanding, celebrating, and rediscovering the elegance and importance of hybrid structures.</p>

Full text
Abstract:
The climate crisis is urging us to act fast. Buildings are a key leverage point to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, but the embodied emissions related with their construction remain often the hidden challenge of any ambitious policy. Considering that a complete material substitution is not possible, we explore in this paper a material GHG compensation where fast-growing bio-based insulation materials are used to compensate building elements that necessarily release GHG. Looking for analogies with other human activities, different material diets as well as different building typologies are modelled to assess the consequences in term of bio-based insulation requirement to reach climate-neutrality. The material diets are defined according to the gradual use of herbaceous materials, from the insulation up to the structural level: omnivorous, vegetarian and vegan. Our results show the relationship in terms of volume between the climate intensive materials and the climate-negative ones needed to neutralize the overall building GHG emissions. Moreover, they suggest how climate-neutral building can look like and that it is possible to have climate-neutral buildings with wall thickness within the range of current construction practices.

In ASME 2015 34th International Conference on Ocean, Offshore and Arctic Engineering. American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2015. http://dx.doi.org/10.1115/omae2015-41919.

Full text
Abstract:
It is a fact that when a pipeline is installed by the reeling method, it will undergo cyclic plastic straining and the pipe will plastically deform. Due to the applied plastic bending moment, the residual deformation in terms of residual pipe ovality after reeling is difficult to predict by Finite Element Analyses (FEA) without a thorough understanding of the material characterization and changes under cyclic plastic straining. The paper describes how the material behavior of seamless pipe under plastic strain reeling cycle has been characterized by a comprehensive material testing program including Bauschinger tests and perpendicular loading pre-straining tests. It turns out that for seamless pipe, by looking at the yield stress locus of the material after plastic straining, the reeled pipe material which initially shows isotropic behavior in the un-strained condition will change and evolve to show anisotropic behavior. The material in the hoop direction of the pipe will become more hardened than the material in the longitudinal direction of the pipe. The cross hardening characteristics of material under cyclic plastic deformation have been modeled using the “distortional plasticity” principle and implemented in a user subroutine of an FEA software package. This paper includes the validation of the ovality prediction by FEA model using the developed material model against the ovality measurement from full scale bend tests at Heriot-Watt University as well as ovality measurements taken during the spooling test and trial of 16″OD pipeline at Carlyss spool base in 2013. The material testing of a sample cut out from Spoolbase test and trial, undergoes spool and un-spool 5 cycles, has been performed to confirm the distortional plasticity hardening behavior obtained from the small scale Bauschinger and perpendicular loading tests.

Abstract:
The article analyzes a series of materials by Aleksander Janta-Polczynski «Into the USSR» from Soviet Russia during the in 1932, published on «Wiadomości Literackiе». The purpose of this article is explain the uniqueness of the reporter’s style and personality. We want to emphasize the role of Janta-Polczynski as the pioneer of reportage journalism. He was the first who worked professionally in this position in the full sense of this word. Analyzed the cycle of Alexander Janta-Polczynski from Russia, we can emphasize the scale of the reporter’s trip: in 1932 the journalist made the largest journalistic trip to the USSR. Janta visited the Eastern republics, which differed from the popular Moscow and Leningrad. Also, he saw the largest construction in the USSR at this time – which it bragged about russian newspapers – Magnitogorsk and Dneprostroy. For a better understanding are given the visual examples from reportorial texts. It should be noted that for Janta the main task of the reporter is to show what is seen and recorded: only facts and personal experience in communication. This cycle can safely be called a journey and social expedition. The main task for Janta the scene where the reportage takes place is to find proper characters and convince them of the importance of their story. These are the materials of a reporter – an eyewitness, not a researcher, a report from the scene, which pushes the reader to an independent conclusion. We explore that all the Janta-Polczynski texts are inextricably linked by looking into the «middle» of the process: the diversity of what is seen allows the journalist to look for differences and similarities, compare, look at the fundamental components, track changes and distinguish them. Special attention was paid to a low-angle shot in his materials. He describes how Soviet society lives, how factories work, how the system of educating a Soviet person, goes to the movies and exhibitions, communicates with ordinary citizens. Undoubtedly, all this is successfully complemented by the factual detail and uniqueness of the author’s style.

Full text
Abstract:
The main recommendations of the panel report can be summarised under four key headings:  High quality, high impact research: the importance of archaeological science is reflected in work that explores issues connected to important contemporary topics, including: the demography of, the nature of movement of, and contact between peoples; societal resilience; living on the Atlantic edge of Europe; and coping with environmental and climatic change. A series of large-scale and integrated archaeological science projects are required to stimulate research into these important topics. To engage fully with Science in Scottish Archaeology iv these questions data of sufficient richness is required that is accessible, both within Scotland and internationally. The RCAHMS’ database Canmore provides a model for digital dissemination that should be built on.  Integration: Archaeological science should be involved early in the process of archaeological investigation and as a matter of routine. Resultant data needs to be securely stored, made accessible and the research results widely disseminated. Sources of advice and its communication must be developed and promoted to support work in the commercial, academic, research, governmental and 3rd sectors.  Knowledge exchange and transfer: knowledge, data and skills need to be routinely transferred and embedded across the archaeological sector. This will enable the archaeological science community to better work together, establishing routes of communication and improving infrastructure. Improvements should be made to communication between different groups including peers, press and the wider public. Mechanisms exist to enable the wider community to engage with, and to feed into, the development of the archaeological and scientific database and to engage with current debates. Projects involving the wider community in data generation should be encouraged and opportunities for public engagement should be pursued through, for example, National Science Week and Scottish Archaeology Month.  Networks and forums: A network of specialists should be promoted to aid collaboration, provide access to the best advice, and raise awareness of current work. This would be complemented by creating a series inter-disciplinary working groups, to discuss and articulate archaeological science issues. An online service to match people (i.e. specialist or student) to material (whether e.g. environmental sample, artefactual assemblage, or skeletal assemblage) is also recommended. An annual meeting should also be held at which researchers would be able to promote current and future work, and draw attention to materials available for analysis, and to specialists/students looking to work on particular assemblages or projects. Such meetings could be rolled into a suitable public outreach event.

Shan, Yina, Praem Mehta, Duminda Perera, and Yurissa Yarela. Cost and Efficiency of Arsenic Removal from Groundwater: A Review. United Nations University Institute for Water, Environment and Health, February 2019. http://dx.doi.org/10.53328/kmwt2129.

Full text
Abstract:
Hundreds of millions of people worldwide are exposed to arsenic-contaminated drinking water, leading to significant health complications, and social and economic losses. Currently, a wide range of technologies exists to remove arsenic from water. However, despite ongoing research on such technologies, their widespread application remains limited. To bridge this gap, this review aims to compare the effectiveness and costs of various arsenic remediation technologies while considering their practical applicability. A search conducted using the Medline and Embase databases yielded 31 relevant articles published from 1996 to 2018, which were categorized into laboratory and field studies. Data on the effectiveness of technologies in removing arsenic and associated costs were extracted and standardized for comparison as much as was possible, given the diversity of ways that studies report their key results. The twenty-three (23) technologies tested in laboratory settings demonstrated efficiencies ranging from 50% to ~100%, with the majority reaching relatively high removal efficiencies (>90%). Approximately half achieved the WHO standard of 10 µg/L. Laboratory studies used groundwater samples from nine (9) different countries – Argentina, Bangladesh, Cambodia, China, Guatemala, India, Thailand, the United States, and Vietnam. The fourteen (14) technologies tested in the field achieved removal efficiency levels ranging between 60% and ~99%, with ten (10) attaining above 90% removal efficiency. Of these, only five (5) reached established the WHO standard. Some of the technologies under-performed when their influent water contained excessive concentrations of arsenic. Only six (6) countries (Argentina, Bangladesh, Chile, China, India, and Nicaragua) were represented among the studies that implemented and tested technologies in the field, either at household or community level. For technologies tested in the laboratory, the cost of treating one cubic meter of water ranged from near-zero to ~USD 93, except for one technology which cost USD 299/m³. For studies conducted in the field, the cost of treating one cubic meter of water ranged from near-zero to ~USD 70. Key factors influencing the removal efficiencies and their costs include the arsenic concentration of the influent water, pH of the influent water, materials used, the energy required, absorption capacity, labour used, regeneration period and geographical location. Technologies that demonstrate high removal efficiencies when treating moderately arsenic-contaminated water may not be as efficient when treating highly contaminated water. Also, the lifetime of the removal agents is a significant factor in determining their efficiency. It is suggested that remediation technologies that demonstrate high arsenic removal efficiencies in a laboratory setting need to be further assessed for their suitability for larger-scale application, considering their high production and operational costs. Costs can be reduced by using locally available materials and natural adsorbents, which provide near zero-cost options and can have high arsenic removal efficiencies. A notable feature of many arsenic removal approaches is that some countries with resource constraints or certain environmental circumstances – like typically high arsenic concentrations in groundwater –aim to reach resultant arsenic concentrations that are much higher than WHO’s recommended standard of 10 µg/L. This report maintains that – while this may be a pragmatic approach that helps progressively mitigate the arsenic-related health risks – it is unfortunately not a sustainable solution. Continuing exposure to higher levels of arsenic ingestion remains harmful for humans. Hence arsenic-removal technology should only be seen efficient if it can bring the water to the WHO standard. A less radical approach effectively shifts the attention from the origin of the problem in addressing the impacts and postpones achieving the best possible outcome for populations. The quantitative summary of costs and effectiveness of arsenic remediation technologies reviewed in this report can serve as a preliminary guideline for selecting the most cost-effective option. It may also be used as an initial guideline (minimum standard) for summarising the results of future studies describing arsenic remediation approaches. Looking ahead, this study identifies four priority areas that may assist in commercializing wide-scale implementation of arsenic removal technologies. These include: i) focusing efforts on determining market viability of technologies, ii) overcoming practical limitations of technologies, iii) determining technology contextual appropriateness and iv) concerted effort to increase knowledge sharing in and across regions to accelerate the implementation of research on the ground. Overall, the current science and knowledge on arsenic remediation technologies may be mature enough already to help significantly reduce the global numbers of affected populations. The missing link for today’s arsenic removal challenge is the ability to translate research evidence and laboratory-level successes into quantifiable and sustainable impacts on the ground. Achieving this requires a concerted and sustained effort from policymakers, engineers, healthcare providers, donors, and community leaders.

Integrating STI/HIV services into existing MCH/FP programs. Population Council, 1998. http://dx.doi.org/10.31899/rh1998.1003.

Full text
Abstract:
The presence of certain STIs increases the risk of the sexual transmission of HIV. Thus, controlling STIs can reduce the incidence of HIV. Almost all women in the East and Southern African regions attend MCH/FP clinics regularly, and recent surveys have shown that the prevalence levels of many STIs, including HIV, can be high for women seeking FP and antenatal services, even though they are frequently asymptomatic. MCH/FP services are provided by medically trained staff with many of the same skills needed for managing STIs. Consequently, several MCH/FP programs have started looking for ways to integrate STI management strategies, such as STI screening, treatment, and education, into their routine services. The Population Council’s Africa OR/TA Project undertook case studies of four such programs in Botswana; Nakuru, Kenya; Mombasa, Kenya; and Busoga, Uganda. The model includes case detection and treatment, HIV/AIDS management, detection and treatment of syphilis, and information and education materials. This summary explains that STI and HIV/AIDS management services can be integrated successfully into existing MCH/FP programs in East and Southern Africa.
