Abstract:
Oxidative stress is one of the major causes of skin aging. In this study, the shape memory gels containing phytosomes were developed as a delivery system for Nicotiana tabacum var. Virginia fresh (VFL) and dry (VDL) leaf extracts. The extracts were loaded in the phytosomes by a solvent displacement method. The physical and chemical characteristics and stability of phytosomes were evaluated by dynamic light scattering and phytochemistry, respectively. The in vitro antioxidant activity and intracellular reactive oxygen species reduction of phytosomes and/or extracts were investigated by the DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging assays, FRAP assay, and DCFH-DA fluorescent probe. The cytotoxicity and anti-inflammatory activity of VDL and VFL phytosomes were studied by an MTT and a nitric oxide assay, respectively. Here, we first reported the total phenolic content in the dry leaf extract of N. tabacum var. Virginia was significantly greater than that of the fresh leaf extract. The HPLC analysis results revealed that VDL and VFL extracts contained 4.94 ± 0.04 and 3.13 ± 0.01 µg/mL of chlorogenic acid and 0.89 ± 0.00 and 0.24 ± 0.00 µg/mL of rutin, respectively. The phytosomes of the VDL and VFL extracts displayed stable size, polydispersity index, zeta potential values, and good chemical stability. VDL and VDL phytosomes showed higher phenolic and flavonoid contents which showed stronger DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging effects and reduced the intracellular ROS. The results suggested that the phenolic compounds are the main factor in their antioxidant activity. Both VDL and VFL phytosomes inhibited nitric oxide production induced by LPS, suggesting the anti-inflammatory activity of the phytosomes. The shape memory gel containing VDL and VFL phytosomes had good physical stability in terms of pH and viscosity. The VDL and VFL phytosomes dispersed in the shape memory gels can be considered as a promising therapeutic delivery system for protecting the skin from oxidation and reactive oxygen species.

Abstract:
Vertical federated learning (VFL) attracts increasing attention due to the emerging demands of multi-party collaborative modeling and concerns of privacy leakage. In the real VFL applications, usually only one or partial parties hold labels, which makes it challenging for all parties to collaboratively learn the model without privacy leakage. Meanwhile, most existing VFL algorithms are trapped in the synchronous computations, which leads to inefficiency in their real-world applications. To address these challenging problems, we propose a novel VFL framework integrated with new backward updating mechanism and bilevel asynchronous parallel architecture (VFB^2), under which three new algorithms, including VFB^2-SGD, -SVRG, and -SAGA, are proposed. We derive the theoretical results of the convergence rates of these three algorithms under both strongly convex and nonconvex conditions. We also prove the security of VFB^2 under semi-honest threat models. Extensive experiments on benchmark datasets demonstrate that our algorithms are efficient, scalable, and lossless.

Abstract:
We describe the molecular characterization and function of vielfältig (vfl), a X-chromosomal gene that encodes a nuclear protein with six Krüppel-like C2H2 zinc finger motifs. vfl transcripts are maternally contributed and ubiquitously distributed in eggs and preblastoderm embryos, excluding the germline precursor cells. Zygotically, vfl is expressed strongly in the developing nervous system, the brain, and in other mitotically active tissues. Vfl protein shows dynamic subcellular patterns during the cell cycle. In interphase nuclei, Vfl is associated with chromatin, whereas during mitosis, Vfl separates from chromatin and becomes distributed in a granular pattern in the nucleoplasm. Functional gain-of-function and lack-of-function studies show that vfl activity is necessary for normal mitotic cell divisions. Loss of vfl activity disrupts the pattern of mitotic waves in preblastoderm embryos, elicits asynchronous DNA replication, and causes improper chromosome segregation during mitosis.

Abstract:
Vertical federated learning (VFL) is an emerging paradigm that allows different parties (e.g., organizations or enterprises) to collaboratively build machine learning models with privacy protection. In the training phase, VFL only exchanges the intermediate statistics, i.e., forward activations and backward derivatives, across parties to compute model gradients. Nevertheless, due to its geo-distributed nature, VFL training usually suffers from the low WAN bandwidth. In this paper, we introduce CELU-VFL, a novel and efficient VFL training framework that exploits the local update technique to reduce the cross-party communication rounds. CELU-VFL caches the stale statistics and reuses them to estimate model gradients without exchanging the ad hoc statistics. Significant techniques are proposed to improve the convergence performance. First, to handle the stochastic variance problem, we propose a uniform sampling strategy to fairly choose the stale statistics for local updates. Second, to harness the errors brought by the stateness, we devise an instance weighting mechanism that measures the reliability of the estimated gradients. Theoretical analysis proves that CELU-VFL achieves a similar sub-linear convergence rate as vanilla VFL training but requires much fewer communication rounds. Empirical results on both public and real-world workloads validate that CELU-VFL can be up to six times faster than the existing works.

Abstract:
Purpose Vinflunine (VFL) is a new microtubule inhibitor that has activity against transitional cell carcinoma of urothelial tract (TCCU). We conducted a randomized phase III study of VFL and best supportive care (BSC) versus BSC alone in the treatment of patients with advanced TCCU who had experienced progression after a first-line platinum-containing regimen. Patients and Methods The study was designed to compare overall survival (OS) between patients receiving VFL + BSC (performance status [PS] = 0: 320 mg/m2, every 3 weeks; PS = 0 with previous pelvic radiation and PS = 1: 280 mg/m2 subsequently escalated to 320 mg/m2) or BSC. Results Three hundred seventy patients were randomly assigned (VFL + BSC, n =253; BSC, n = 117). Both arms were well balanced except there were more patients with PS more than 1 (10% difference) in the BSC arm. Main grade 3 or 4 toxicities for VFL + BSC were neutropenia (50%), febrile neutropenia (6%), anemia (19%), fatigue (19%), and constipation (16%). In the intent-to-treat population, the objective of a median 2-month survival advantage (6.9 months for VFL + BSC v 4.6 months for BSC) was achieved (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.88; 95% CI, 0.69 to 1.12) but was not statistically significant (P = .287). Multivariate Cox analysis adjusting for prognostic factors showed statistically significant effect of VFL on OS (P = .036), reducing the death risk by 23% (HR = 0.77; 95% CI, 0.61 to 0.98). In the eligible population (n = 357), the median OS was significantly longer for VFL + BSC than BSC (6.9 v 4.3 months, respectively), with the difference being statistically significant (P = .040). Overall response rate, disease control, and progression-free survival were all statistically significant favoring VFL + BSC (P = .006, P = .002, and P = .001, respectively). Conclusion VFL demonstrates a survival advantage in second-line treatment for advanced TCCU. Consistency of results exists with significant and meaningful benefit over all efficacy parameters. Safety profile is acceptable, and therefore, VFL seems to be a reasonable option for TCCU progressing after first-line platinum-based therapy.

Abstract:
e22021 Background: Given the role of vinflunine (VFL) in the microtubule dynamics and the link between microtubules and cell adhesions through cadherins, we have investigated the possible influence of VFL on adherens junctions through its interaction with microtubules. We have studied the implication of VFL on the reversion of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in bladder transitional cell carcinoma and explored a possible novel molecular mechanism. Methods: Four human bladder transitional carcinoma cell lines were used to carry out the following experimental procedure: Cytotoxicity assay by using MTT assay, qRTPCR to analyze mRNA markers of the EMT, Western blotting using specific antibodies for EMT markers, and immunofluorescence images, analyzed by epifluorescence microscopy. Results: Cell growth reduction was detected in human bladder carcinoma cells under VFL treatment compared to control. VFL induces mesenchymal to epithelial phenotype and modulates the EMT markers: E-cadherin and Cytokeratin-19 were enhanced under treatment, while significantly reduction of mRNA mesenchymal markers expression (Vimentin, N-cadherin) and EMT-transcriptional factors (Snail and Zeb1) was detected. Strong reduction of Hakai protein was seen under VFL treatment. Hakai was discovered as an E3 ubiquitin-ligase that mediates the posttranslational downregulation of E-cadherin. Epifluorescence images showed that VFL treatment promotes E-cadherin localization specifically at cell-cell contact; while, Hakai expression decreases its expression in the nuclei and cytoplasm. Conclusions: These results suggest that VFL up-regulates E-cadherin contributing to mesenchymal to epithelial transition, and that Hakai modulation might be the molecular mechanism by which the increasing E-cadherin at cell-cell contacts in bladder carcinoma cell lines is detected. Given the relevant in vitro role of VFL on E-cadherin expression and on the reversion of EMT process, we hypothesized that VFL could exert a clinical benefit in delaying the metastasis in urothelial tumors.

Abstract:
Background/Aim: Vein-first lobectomy (VFL) in lung cancer might reduce shedding of circulating tumour cells (CTCs). This study assessed the clinical significance of VFL. Patients and Methods: Lung cancer patients undergoing lobectomy and CTC testing were evaluated. The primary evaluation item was postoperative clustered CTC detection, and the secondary outcome measures were the 2-year overall survival and recurrence-free survival rates according to the status of VFL and postoperative clustered CTC. Results: Eighty-six patients with similar backgrounds, except for lobe resection and pulmonary vein dissection time, showed postoperative clustered CTC identification rates of 43.8% and 37.9% in the VFL group (n=57) and no-VFL group (n=29), respectively. However, prognosis was not significantly different, although the presence of clustered CTC after surgery was a predictor of recurrence. Conclusion: The status of postoperative clustered CTC was similar regardless of VFL or not, although the detection of clustered CTC was a predictor of recurrence.

Abstract:
Chez la vigne, les gibbérellines activent le débourrement des bourgeons latents et stimulent la formation de vrilles mais contrairement à Arabidopsis, celles-ci semblent inhiber la formation d'inflorescences. Par ailleurs, comme la floraison de la vigne n'est pas sensible à la photopériode,on peut se demander si l'orthologue du gène FT (VvFT) a tout de même un rôle intégrateur au niveau des feuilles et s'il active l'expression de l'orthologue du gène LFY (VFL). Dans la première partie de ma thèse, nous avons conduit une analyse moléculaire avec un matériel original : un porte-greffe 41 B transformé avec une construction contenant le gène VvFT sous contrôle du promoteur 35S et une plante dérivée du Pinot Meunier, portant une mutation dans le gène GA-INSENSITIVE (GAl). Notre étude montre que les gibbérellines ou/et le gène VvFT activent les gènes de floraison comme VFL. mais avec des réponses très différentes entre la vrille, les bourgeons latents et les inflorescences.Dans la seconde partie de ma thèse, nous nous sommes intéressés au silencing. Nous avons produit des plantes transgéniques de la lignée PN40024 contenant soit le gène codant la GFP, soit une construction tige-boucle GF-FG, soit les deux. Les cals embryogènes transgéniques GFP et GFP+GF-FG sont fluorescents. Par contre, nous avons observé une disparition totale de la fluorescence chez ces PN40024 GFP+GF-FG, dès l'apparition des premières feuilles et chez la plante entière. L'étude moléculaire a mis en évidence des petits ARNs de 21 nt et 24nt produits à partir de la construction tige-boucle GF-FG. Des petits ARNs secondaires de 21 nt produit à partir de la séquence de la GFP ont été également été détectés
In grapevine, gibberellins activate latent bud and stimulate the formation of tendrils but in contrast to Arabidopsis, they appear to inhibit the formation of inflorescences. Moreover, as the flowering of the grapevine is not sensitive ta photoperiod, one might wonder whether the ortholog of the FTgene (VvFT) still has an integrative raie in leaves and it activates the expression of the ortholog ofLFY gene (VFL). ln the first part of my thesis, we conducted a molecular analysis with original material: a rootstock 41 B transformed with a construct containing the VvFT gene under the control of the 35S promoter and a derivative of the plant Pinot Meunier, carrying a mutation in the GA-INSENSITIVE gene (GAl). Our study shows that gibberellins and 1 or the gene VvFT activate genes in flowering as a VFL, but with very different responses between the tendril, latent buds and inflorescences.ln the second part of my thesis, we are interested in silencing. We produced transgenic plants of the PN40024 which line containing either the gene encoding GFP, a stem-loop structure GF-FG, orbath. The embryogenic callus transgenic GFP and GFP + GF-FG fluoresce. We observed acomplete disappearance of fluorescence in PN40024 GFP + GF-FG, from the first leaves appear and in the whole plant Molecular analysis revealed small RNAs of 21 nt and 24nt produced from the stem-loop structure GF-FG. Small secondary 21 nt RNAs produced from the sequence of the GFP were also detected

Abstract:
Sports injury prevention has been the focus of a number of recent public health initiatives due to the acknowledgement that sports injuries are a significant public health problem in Australia Whilst Australian football is one of the most popular participation sports in the country, only very limited data is available about football injuries The majority of sports injury data available for this sport is from hospital emergency departments and elite-level injury surveillance Overall there is a paucity of data from treatment settings other than hospitals In particular, there is a lack of information about the injuries sustained by community-level, junior and recreational Australian football participants. One good potential source of football injury data is sports medicine clinics. Analysis of injury presentations to sports medicine clinics was undertaken to provide a detailed description of the epidemiology of Australian football injuries that present to this treatment setting and to determine the implications for injury prevention in this sport. In addition, the data from sports medicine clinics was compared with existing sources of Australian football injury data to determine how representative sports medicine clinic data is of other football injury data sources and to provide recommendations for future injury surveillance n Australian football. The results contained in this thesis show that Australian football is the sport most associated with injury presentation at sports medicine clinics. The majority of injured Australian football players presenting to sports medicine clinics are community-level or junior participants which suggests that sports medicine clinics are a good source of information on the injuries sustained by sub-elite football participants. Competition is the most common context in which Australian football players presenting to sports medicine clinics are injured. The major causes of injuries to Australian football players are being struck by another player, collisions and overuse. Injuries to Australian football players predominantly involve the lower limb. Adult players, players who stopped participating immediately after noticing their injury and players with overuse injuries are the most likely to sustain a more severe injury (i.e. more than four weeks before a full return to football participation and a moderate/significant amount of treatment expected). The least experienced players (five or less years of participation) are more likely to require a significant amount of treatment than the more experienced players. The prevention of lower limb injuries, injuries caused by body contact and injuries caused by overuse should be a priority for injury prevention research in Australian football due to the predominance of these injury types in the pattern of Australian football injuries Additionally, adult players, as a group, should be a focus of injury prevention activities in Australian football due to the association between age and injury severity. Overall, the pattern of Australian football injuries presenting to sports medicine clinics appears to be different than reported by club-based and hospital emergency department injury surveillance activities. However, detailed comparison of sports medicine clinic Australian football data with other sources of Australian football injury data is difficult due to the variable methods of collecting and reporting injury information used by hospital emergency department and club-based injury surveillance activities. The development of a standardised method for collecting and reporting injury data in Australian football is strongly recommended to overcome the existing limitations of data collection in this sport. In summary, sports medicine clinics provide a rich source of Australian football injury data, especially from the community and junior levels of participation. The inclusion of sports medicine clinic data provides a broader epidemiological picture of Australian football injuries. This broader understanding of the pattern of Australian football injuries provides a better basis for the development of injury prevention measures in this sport.

Full text
Abstract:
The need for a method to create a collaborative machine learning model which can utilize data from different clients, each with privacy constraints, has recently emerged. This is due to privacy restrictions, such as General Data Protection Regulation, together with the fact that machine learning models in general needs large size data to perform well. Google introduced federated learning in 2016 with the aim to address this problem. Federated learning can further be divided into horizontal and vertical federated learning, depending on how the data is structured at the different clients. Vertical federated learning is applicable when many different features is obtained on distributed computation nodes, where they can not be shared in between. The aim of this thesis is to identify the current state of the art methods in vertical federated learning, implement the most interesting ones and compare the results in order to draw conclusions of the benefits and drawbacks of the different methods. From the results of the experiments, a method called FedBCD shows very promising results where it achieves massive improvements in the number of communication rounds needed for convergence, at the cost of more computations at the clients. A comparison between synchronous and asynchronous approaches shows slightly better results for the synchronous approach in scenarios with no delay. Delay refers to slower performance in one of the workers, either due to lower computational resources or due to communication issues. In scenarios where an artificial delay is implemented, the asynchronous approach shows superior results due to its ability to continue training in the case of delays in one or several of the clients.

Estudos recentes sugerem que a técnica de estimulação elétrica transcraniana (ETCC) pode reduzir a vontade subjetiva de comer e desejo pelo alimento, mostrando-se uma possível ferramenta terapêutica no combate à obesidade. O exercício físico suscita efeitos positivos sobre a manutenção e perda do peso corporal total, balanço energético, regulação do apetite e neuroplasticidade, oxigenação e vascularização cerebral. Desse modo, o objetivo do presente estudo foi verificar o efeito da ETCC, associada à prática de exercício físico, sobre a variabilidade da freqüência cardíaca (VFC) e sensações subjetivas do apetite em humanos obesos. Participaram do estudo nove indivíduos de ambos os sexos. Os sujeitos foram submetidos a duas etapas de procedimentos experimentais. A primeira consistiu na realização de um teste cardiopulmonar máximo no cicloergômetro com protocolo do tipo rampa, a fim de determinar sua capacidade cardiorrespiratória (VO2MAX; FCMAX; CargaMAX). Na segunda etapa, os sujeitos realizaram duas sessões não consecutivas de testes, em que inicialmente permaneceram sentados por 10min, receberam ETCC anódica ou placebo (2mA por 20min), em ordem randomizada e, logo após, executaram sessões isocalóricas (~200kcal) a 70%VO2MAX. Em seguida, permaneceram em recuperação sentados em repouso por 30 minutos. Em todo o protocolo, escalas visuais analógicas para avaliação das sensações subjetivas de apetite, bem como a VFC, foram registradas. Os resultados mostraram que, para os escores médios das sensações de saciedade na condição de ETCC anódica, houve diminuição significativa entre os momentos 30 PÓS EXERCÍCIO vs. todos os momentos analisados (P<0.05). Houve aumento da sensação de fome, em ambas condições de ETCC, entre os momentos 30 PÓS EXERCÍCIO vs. PÓS EXERCÍCIO. No entanto, houve diminuição do desejo pelo alimento após a ETCC anódica (PRÉ ETCC vs. PÓS ETCC; p=0.04), mas não quando os indivíduos receberam ETCC placebo. Quando se associou a ETCC com o exercício, uma diminuição ainda maior foi evidenciada (PRÉ ETCC vs. PÓS EXERCÍCIO; p=0.05). Quanto à VFC, a variável low frequency (LFLOG) demonstrou, em todos os momentos e condições analisados, semelhança em seu comportamento. Por outro lado, as variáveis high frequency (HFLOG) e balanço simpatovagal (LF/HFLOG), apresentaram aumento e diminuição significativas, respectivamente, entre as condições analisadas (placebo e anódica) após a realização da sessão de exercício. Um maior HF e menor LF/HF foram mantidos até o trigésimo minuto de recuperação. Portanto, pode-se concluir que a aplicação da ETCC anódica associada à prática de exercício físico não foi capaz de modificar as respostas hedônicas de fome e saciedade. Porém, a ETCC foi capaz de diminuir o desejo pelo alimento, o que foi potencializado pela associação com o exercício físico. Por outro lado, a ETCC foi capaz de alterar o comportamento do sistema nervoso autonômico cardíaco, propiciando uma maior modulação da atividade parassimpática e diminuição no balanço simpatovagal durante todo o período de recuperação após exercício aeróbio.

Syftet är att belysa ungdomars tankar kring sin framtida karriär i relation till att göra väl övervägda val. Sex intervjuer har genomförts med ungdomar i årskurs tre på det samhällsvetenskapliga programmet. Resultaten visar att tidigare erfarenheter är viktiga för att uttrycka vad man är bra på och tycker är roligt, vilket också är kopplat till framtidstankar. Kopplingen mellan sig själv och framtidstankarna är främst att något är kul eller att man är bra på något. Oro över att inte hitta det ”rätta” alternativet framkommer. Ungdomarna lägger hinder och lösningar på dessa samt resurser på sig själva. Hinder som ungdomarna nämner kan härledas till avsaknad av ingredienser i att göra ”väl övervägda val”.

Abstract:
Efter nio terminers studier på Malmö högskola så var det tid för det avslutande examensarbetet. Under dessa nio terminer hade vi fått olika upplevelser och erfarenheter av den verksamhetsförlagda tiden berättade för oss av våra medstudenter. Även våra egna erfarenheter varierade. Vi ville därför ta reda på mer om dessa upplevelser och vilka anledningar till variationerna var. Den verksamhetsförlagda tiden uppfattade vi som en stor del av utbildningen för en lärarstudent och den del av utbildningen som förbereder studenten mest för den blivande yrkesrollen. Vi var nyfikna på ifall den verksamhetsförlagda tiden var något som andra lärarstudenter kunde se fram emot och var något som bidrog till deras utveckling som lärare. Studien ansågs vara av allmänt intresse för lärarstudenter som någon gång i framtiden blir handledare och/eller mentorer. Studien ansågs även vara intressant för de ansvariga för den verksamhetsförlagda tiden samt för verksamma handledare och mentorer knutna till Malmö högskola.
The aim of this essay was to examine the student teachers, who study the last semester at Malmö högskola school of education, attitudes towards their trainee post. The attitudes contain not only the trainee post as such, but also attitudes towards the instructor at the trainee post, the mentor at the school of education and the views of the theoretical goals which the student shall achieve. We used a qualitative method in shape of interviews to get the result. The interviews took place at the school of education and were executed at two separate occasions. We did not focus the result on gender, age or ethnicity, our only limitation was that the student’s primary subject was physical education and that they study the last semester at the teacher education. The result showed that the attitudes toward the trainee post were mostly positive. It also showed that the extent of freedom of responsibility was an important aspect of the student’s development and learning and that the theoretical goals were a bit indistinctive. The result was later analysed through two theoretical perspectives, a sociocultural perspective and a theory based on situated learning. This was later connected with a comprehensive discussion.

Abstract:
I denna studie har jag undersökt hur man inom grundskolan kan arbeta kontinuerligt med studie- och yrkesorienterade insatser, för att eleverna ska få en grund för att göra väl underbyggda val inför framtiden. Vidare har jag undersökt vilka lokala riktlinjer som de som arbetar kontinuerligt i grundskolan med dessa insatser har och vad de förväntar sig uppnå med de insatser som de genomför. Syftet med studien var att försöka ta fram ett förslag på en plan för kontinuerliga studie- och yrkesorienterade insatser i grundskolan. Som metod har jag använt mig utav kvalitativ data i form av intervjuer med studie- och yrkesvägledare samt lärare. Resultatet har sedan diskuterats mot styrdokument och utvalda karriärteorier. Studien visade att de skolor som intervjuats vilar sitt arbete på de styrdokument och råd som finns men att de mer konkreta lokala riktlinjerna många gånger är bristfälliga. Med hjälp av styrdokument, karriärteorier och idéer kring övningar från informanterna har jag under analysen och diskussionen utformat ett förslag till hur man skulle kunna arbeta.

Abstract:
Although disaster risk reduction is still not considered a priority by many countries and organisations, there is significant progress made towards the reduction of disaster risk. The experience of the International Decade for Natural Disaster Reduction (IDNDR, 1990–1999) prompted a major conceptual shift from disaster response to disaster reduction underscoring the crucial role of human action (UNISDR, 2001:03). This circumstance led to the adoption of an International Strategy for Disaster Risk Reduction (ISDR) in 1999 by the participants of the IDNDR Programme Forum. The adoption gave emphasis to the importance of a global strategy that encourages and facilitates concerted action to reduce risk and vulnerability to natural and related technological and environmental hazards. This research then focuses on the disaster risk reduction phenomenon and major or international initiatives and forums aimed at improving or raising the disaster risk reduction profile. It also focuses on disaster risk management in the South African context. In recent years, disaster risk reduction has grown in importance on the international agenda. This followed the prevalence of natural hazards such as floods, drought, earthquakes, tsunamis, as well as epidemics, which have had an increasing impact on humans, due to population growth, urbanization, rising poverty and the onset of global environmental changes. Aspects of environmental change include climate change, land degradation and deforestation. Practitioners and researchers widely acknowledge that poor planning, poverty and a range of other underlying factors create conditions of vulnerability that result in insufficient capacity or measures to reduce hazards‘ potentially negative consequences (IISD/UN/ISDR, 2007:01). It is in this light that in 2005 many governments around the world committed themselves to take action to reduce disaster risk, and thereby adopted a guiding document to reduce vulnerabilities to natural hazards, called the Hyogo Framework for Action (HFA). The HFA was adopted in January 2005 at the World Conference on Disaster Reduction, in Kobe Hyogo, Japan by 168 States. The aim of the HFA is to assist the efforts of nations and communities to become more resilient to, and cope better, with the hazards that threaten their development gains with the overriding goal of achieving a substantial reduction in global disaster risk. It also emphasizes that disaster risk reduction is a central issue for development policies, in addition to being of interest to various science, humanitarian and environmental fields. To help attain the expected outcome, the HFA identified five specific priorities for action (PFAs) which are: (i) making disaster risk reduction a priority; (ii) improving risk information and early warning; (iii) building a culture of safety and resilience; (iv) reducing the risks in key sectors; and (v) strengthening preparedness for response. The Global Network of Civil Society Organisation for Disaster Risk Reduction (GNDR) which was launched in 2007 in Geneva, is a major international network of civil society organisations working to influence and implement disaster risk reduction policies and practice around the world. The major programme of the global network is to collect perspective for the local level as to how the HFA is progressing. The Views from the Frontline (VFL) is the first independent assessment project undertaken towards the implementation of the HFA at the local level and is led by the Global Network. The aim of this project is to measure the gap between policy formulation at international level with the realities of policy execution at local level and to deepen the communication and coordination between different stakeholders on disaster risk reduction by involving government organisation and communities at the local level. The VFL perspective is that nationally formulated policies are not generating widespread systematic changes in local practices. There is a concern that the current approach is top–down and engages minimally with affected communities and fails to address their needs and capacities (GNDR, 2008:01). The main objective of this research was to provide an overview of progress made in the implementation of the HFA at local level particularly in the Kabokweni Location. The approach adopted in this study is called 'the Views from the Frontline', and explores the extent of the actual progress made toward the implementation and impact of the HFA priorities at local level, namely the Kabokweni community in the Mbombela Local Municipality (MLM) situated in the Mpumalanga Province of South Africa.

Abstract:
Syftet med examensarbetet var att undersöka på vilket sätt lärare tolkar sitt uppdrag att arbeta med studie- och yrkesvägledning i vid bemärkelse i förhållande till rådande styrdokument. Vi har använt oss av en kvalitativ metod med semistrukturerade intervjufrågor och med ett urval av totalt sex behöriga lärare inom tre grundskolor på två olika orter. Intervjuerna utgick från frågeställningar om hur lärare arbetar med studie – och yrkesvägledning i den ordinarie undervisningen samt hur aktuella styrdokument och riktlinjer efterföljs. Resultatet visade att lärares uppfattning av vad vägledning i vid bemärkelse innebär är av varierande karaktär. Den skiftande uppfattningen avspeglades även i lärarnas vägledningsarbete i undervisningen samt på vilket sätt de arbetar i förhållande till rådande styrdokument. Det centrala är att arbeta med vägledning i vid bemärkelse i tidig ålder för att motverka begränsningar och komproisser, vilket kan förhindra att elevens studie- och yrkesdrömmar skyms.

Abstract:
Preparandutbildningen är relativt nytt på gymnasieskola och det är inte alla gymnasieskolor som har denna utbildning. Inom vägledning på gymnasieskolor är studie- och yrkesvägledarnas metoder och insatser för preparandelever inte tydliga, vilket gör att man inte kan på ett strukturerat och överskådligt sätt kunna överblicka insatserna och metoderna. Detta gör att studie- och yrkesvägledarna kan bli begränsade i sitt val av insatser och metoder för preparandeleverna. Dessutom kan de inte dra nytta av varandras erfarenheter av metoder och insatser.Vår studie syftar till att undersöka vilka vägledningsmetoder och insatser en studie- och yrkesvägledare använder sig av i sitt arbete med preparandeleverna, och hur dessa metoder och insatser kan bidra till att eleverna gör ett välunderbyggt val inför deras gymnasieval. De teoretiska begreppen vi använder för att analysera resultatet är självkännedom, kompromiss och begränsningar samt beslutsprocess. För att besvara på våra frågeställningar har vi använt oss av en kvalitativ metod och intervjuade fem studie- och yrkesvägledare från olika gymnasieskolor som har preparandutbildning.Resultatet har visat att den vägledningsmetoden som mest används är Egans modell. Andra metoder som används är coaching, MI, Lindhs modell, Trappan och blomman. De gemensamma insatser som de gör i sitt arbete är bland annat att ha vägledningssamtal, studiebesök samt undervisningspass om val och väljande. De metoderna och insatserna som kom fram under resultatet bidrar till att preparandeleverna gör ett väl underbyggt val genom att framför allt de ökar deras självkännedom och att sätta igång deras tankeprocess inför gymnasievalet.

Abstract:
Introduction: Lymphedema is one of the main complications associated with the treatment of breast cancer. Multiple methodologies can be used in the diagnosis of lymphedema. A simple and clean, easy methodology is lacking, aiming to correlate with the findings of volumetry. Objectives: To evaluate different methodologies for the evaluation of indirect volumetry, by calculating the Frustrum and potential cutoff points related to direct volumetry. Methods: Study approved by the Ethics Committee under number 782/2014. A cross-sectional study with prospective collection, diagnostic evaluation, performed in patients with breast cancer undergoing surgical treatment of the breast. The participants were subjected to evaluations of the upper limbs using volumetry (total limb and hand), cylindrical and radial perimetry for diagnosis of lymphedema at equidistant points every 5 cm (V10) and 10 cm (V6). One software was created based on the cylindrical and diametrical measurements of the upper limbs. Concomitant upper limb and hand volumetry was performed, with a difference of 200 mL in volume being considered a lymphedema. The formula VFC=h(C12+C1C2 + C22)/12π was used for the cylindrical Frustrum (VFC), and for the elliptical Frustrum (VFE) the formula VFE= (Lπ/3)A2B-a2b)/(A-a) was used. To compare the agreement of the volumes, the Interclass Correlation Index was used. In order to equalize values associated with volumetry, the ROC curve was used. Grant from FAPESP project no. 2014 08197-0 and Institutional IEP/HCB no 5/2017. Results: 300 patients were evaluated. With regard to VFE, the result was not adequate in 25.5% in the V10 assessment and in 8.9% in the V6. The correlation between the difference in volume in total volume and the difference in volume without hands was excellent (ICC = 0.993). The difference of the risk member was compared with the contralateral of the VC10 and VC6 volumes with hand and VC10 and VC6 without the hand, the intra-class correlation coefficients were 0.840, 0.878, 0.835, 0.878, respectively. The presence or absence of the hand did not change the correlation, given the difference in volume (dV). Considering the difference in volume of the limbs of 200 mL, in the VFC formula dVC6 this value corresponded to 108.79 mL, with a sensitivity of 88.9, specificity of 87.3 and accuracy of 87.7; and in the VFC dVC10 formula this value was 96.9 mL, with a sensitivity of 92.1, specificity of 85.7 and accuracy of 87. Conclusions: The use of cylindrical Frustrum proved to be satisfactory, and different cutoff points should be used in clinical practice. The creation of the software facilitates the evaluation because it is a clean and reproducible methodology.

Full text
Abstract:
Mechanical stresses in vocal folds (VFs) developed during self-oscillation — due to interaction with the glottal flow — play an important role in tissue damage and healing. Contact stresses occurring due to collision between VFs modify both self-oscillation characteristics, as well as stresses. The complexity of the problem is increased due to other factors acting in combination: transient nature of the flow, non-linear and anisotropic biomechanical properties of the VFs, and acoustic loading. Experiments with physical models [1] have attempted to deduce the state of stress in the interior through measurement of superior surface deformation. However, these methods pose challenges in data acquisition. on the other hand, full three-dimensional transient computational analysis of a self-oscillating and contacting VF model requires highly sophisticated algorithms as well as prohibitive resource usage. Not surprisingly, therefore, it has not been conducted until now. We hypothesize that a high-fidelity numerical simulation incorporating realistic tissue properties is essential to accurately determine stresses within VFs during self-oscillation and contact.

Avis, William. Value for Money of Different CSO Delivery Options. Institute of Development Studies, June 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.19088/k4d.2022.087.

Full text
Abstract:
Value for Money (VfM) is a concept that broadly defines how to maximise and sustain equitable and quality outputs, outcomes and impact for a given level of resources. VfM is a frequently misunderstood term, often associated with complex economic analysis methods. The literature reviewed in this report shows no clear consensus concerning how VfM should be defined. This rapid literature review collates available literature on the value for money of different CSO delivery options. It draws on a diverse range of sources from academic and grey literature. The review draws heavily on a number of sources including Coffey (2015), Laws and Valters (2021) and INTRAC (2020).Despite a range of definitions of VfM being developed and refined, there exist a dearth of detailed attempts to understand how best to conceptualise, measure and manage VfM for programmes which aim to be adaptive.How VfM is interpreted continues to evolve, for example, the Independent Commission for Aid Impact has broadened how VfM is assessed by requiring different types of accountability and transparency commitments to ensure that CSOs use funding responsibly (ICAI, 2018).The availability of VfM evidence across many funding arrangements is lacking or incomplete. Additionally, while the effectiveness and impact of specific funding mechanisms was typically explored and assessed in the literature, the relationship between the design and execution of the broader funding arrangement in relation to VfM was usually inferred rather than explicitly assessed.

Full text
Abstract:
Value for Money (VfM) is an essential tool for balancing difficult policy and programme decisions. While many of the conceptual approaches to VfM and methods for estimation are similar between regular development programming for social protection and humanitarian cash and food assistance, so far these literatures have evolved in fairly distinct silos. There is relatively little work that brings the two strands together. This thematic review provides a conceptual framework for understanding VfM of social assistance in fragile and conflict-affected situations (FCAS). It draws out what is particular to these contexts and identifies key areas for focus. It then reviews the existing literature to identify gaps and point to priorities for further research.

Review question / Objective: To assess the possible cause of events, the incidence of grade 3 hyperglycemia after treating Sofosbuvir/Velpatasvir/Voxilaprevir in HCV infections. Condition being studied: Sofosbuvir, velpatasvir, and voxilaprevir (SOF/VEL/VOX) is an effective, safe rescue therapy regimen for patients have previously been treated failure. Initiating Direct-Acting Antiviral (DAA) treatment for HCV infection with diabetes have experienced hypoglycemia, it could improve insulin resistance due to clean HCV. However, some studies shown that SOF/VEL/VOX has Grade 3 hyperglycemia adverse events. This finding contradicts that other DAAs studies. Information sources: Conducting a comprehensive literature search on the pubmed, Cochrane, clinicalkey, Embase, and MEDLINE electronic databases.

Abstract:
Az elemzés azt vizsgálja, hogy a megújuló energiaforrásokra történő átállás hogyan hat napjaink nagyhatalmi versengésére, illetve azon belül Kína dominanciája a szektorban milyen kockázatot rejt elsősorban az USA számára. A megújuló energiaforrások jellegzetességeiből adódóan várhatóan egyetlen ország sem lesz képes domináns termelővé válni világszinten, az energia mint külpolitikai eszköz pedig előreláthatólag veszít jelentőségéből. Kína dominanciája a megújulóenergia-termelési eszközök terén vitathatatlan, ám az elemzés megállapításai szerint ez a pozíció önmagában nem tekinthető nemzetbiztonsági kockázatnak az USA számára. Kínát nem nemzetközi befolyásszerzési, hanem a belső stabilitással, kereskedelmi lehetőségekkel, illetve a kőolajimport-kitettséggel kapcsolatos szempontok motiválták abban, hogy versenytársainál gyorsabban építse fel megújulóenergia-iparát. Egy esetleges kínai „napelemembargó” az USA-val vagy az EU-val szemben elsősorban nem a geopolitikai erőviszonyokat befolyásolná, hanem a globális klímacélok elérését késleltetné. Kína inkább érdekelt abban, hogy a jövő egyik kulcsiparágának éllovasa maradjon, és kihasználhassa az ezzel járó kereskedelmi és technológiai innovációs előnyöket.

Abstract:
In the development field, technical assistance (TA) broadly refers to support for a specific project or country programme in the form of technical advice, research and data sharing, and skills training, among other activities. As a result, TA may be more valuable as a development tool than the amount of funding received. The primary areas of focus for TA include developing a project pipeline, de-risking investments, and assisting TA beneficiaries in their efforts to improve business standards, as well as supporting policy reforms by developing country. Because TA recipients may face a variety of issues, effective TA programmes can take many forms. TA programmes must be established to address beneficiaries’ primary concerns. The goal for both TA recipients and donors should be to determine the main objective of the TA and to select from a variety of technical adviser, taking into account the limitations and enabling conditions for each approach (Nastase et al., 2020). Some useful principles (or good practices) when designing and implementing TA (through in-house or external contracting) include: • Importance of local ownership: • Partnerships and inclusivity: • Effectiveness: • Value-for-money (VFM): TA can be delivered in-house or by contracting out TA to other firms or suppliers. However, each approach has certain merits (VFM and other factors) and shortcomings. There is a very limited evidence base regarding an explicit discussion of the merits of in-house vs commissioned TA programming. Much of the available evidence simply describes TA programme elements – rather than the VFM behind business cases for in-house or contracted TA design and delivery.
