Automated decision support systems with high stake decision processes are frequently controversial. The Online Compliance Intervention (herewith “OCI” or “RoboDebt”) is a system of compliance implemented with the intention to facilitate automatic issuance of statutory debt notices to individuals, taking a receipt of welfare payments and exceeding their entitlement. The system appears to employ rudimentary data scraping and expert systems to determine whether notices should be validly issued. However, many individuals that take receipt of debt notices assert that they were issued in error. The commentary on the system has resulted in a lot of conflation of the system with other system types and caused many to question the role of decision of support systems in public administration given the potentially deleterious impacts of such systems for the most vulnerable. The authors employ a taxonomy of Robotic Process Automation (RPA) issues, to review the OCI and RPA more generally. This paper identifies potential problems of bias, inconsistency, procedural fairness, and overall systematic error. This research also considers a series of RoboDebt specific issues regarding contractor arrangements and the potential impact of the system for Australia's Indigenous population. The authors offer a set of recommendations based on the observed challenges, emphasizing the importance of moderation, independent algorithmic audits, and ongoing reviews. Most notably, this paper emphasizes the need for greater transparency and a broadening of criteria to determine vulnerability that encompasses, temporal, geographic, and technological considerations.

We carry out a revision of the mechanism of anyon superconductivity found in the Random Phase Approximation. It is shown that the Debye screening of a statistical Coulomb-like interaction produced by contributions beyond the RPA destroys the abovementioned mechanism. The linear mode appeared in the particle-hole channel within the RPA is identified with a finite damping zero-sound. As an alternative mechanism an attraction of anyons which could lead to a formation of boson composites is observed. A finite temperature phase transition, hydrodynamics and electrodynamics of anyon system are described from this alternative point of view.

Second RPA calculations with a Skyrme force are performed to describe both high- and low-lying excited states in 16 O . The coupling between 1 particle-1 hole and 2 particle-2 hole as well as that between 2 particle-2 hole configurations are fully taken into account and the residual interaction is never neglected. For the rearrangement terms in the matrix elements beyond standard RPA two approximations are employed: they are either neglected or evaluated with the RPA procedure. A several-MeV shift of the strength distribution to lower energies is systematically found with respect to RPA distributions. A better description of the excitation energies of the low-lying 0+ and 2+ states is obtained with second RPA with respect to RPA.

Properties of neutral and charged anyon fluids are examined, with the main focus on the question of whether or not a charged anyon fluid exhibits a superconductivity at zero and finite temperature. Quantum mechanics of anyon fluids is precisely described by Chern-Simons gauge theory. The random phase approximation (RPA), the linearized self-consistent field method (SCF), and the hydrodynamic approach employed in the early analysis of anyon fluids are all equivalent. Relations and differences between neutral and charged anyon fluids are discussed. It is necessary to go beyond RPA and the linearized SCF, and possively beyond the Hartree-Fock approximation, to correctly describe various phenomena such as the flux quantization, vortex formation, and phase transition.

Ph.D.
The Random Phase Approximation and beyond Random Phase Approximation methods based on Adiabatic Connection Fluctuation Dissipation Theorem (ACFD) are tested for structural phase transitions of different groups of materials, including metal to metal, metal to semiconductor, semiconductor to semiconductor transitions. Also the performance assessment of semilocal density functionals with or without empirical long range dispersion corrections has been explored for the same cases. We have investigated the structural phase transitions of three broad group of materials, semi- conductor to metal transitions involving two symmetric structures, semiconductor to metal and wide bandgap semiconductor to semiconductor transitions involving at least one lower symmetric structure and lastly special cases comprising metal to metal transitions and transitions between energetically very close structural phases. The first group contains Si (diamond → β-tin), Ge (diamond → β-tin) and SiC (zinc blende → rocksalt), second group contains GaAs (zinc blende → cmcm) and SiO 2 (quartz → stishovite) and third group contains Pb (fcc → hcp), C(graphite → diamond) and BN (cubic → hexagonal) respectively. We have found that the difference in behavior of exchange and correlation in semilocal functionals and ACFD methods is striking. For the former, the exchange potential and energy often comprise the majority of the binding described by density functional approximations, and the addition of the correlation energy and potential often induce only a (relatively) small shift from the exchange- only results. For the ACFD, however, non self-consistent EXX typically underbinds by a considerable degree resulting in wildly inaccurate results. Thus the addition of correlation leads to very large shifts in the exchange-only results, in direct contrast to semilocal correlation. This difference in behavior is directly linked to the non-local nature of the EXX, and even though the exchange-only starting point is often nowhere close to experiment, the non-local correlation from the ACFD corrects this deficiency and yields the missing binding needed to produce accurate results. Thus we find the ACFD approach to be vital in the validation of semilocal results and recommend its use in materials where experimental results cannot be straightforwardly compared to other approximate electronic structure calculations. Utilizing the second-order approximation to Random Phase Approximation renormalized (RPAr) many-body perturbation theory for the interacting density-density response function, we have used a so-called higher-order terms (HOT) approximation for the correlation energy. In combination with the first-order RPAr correction, the HOT method faithfully captures the infinite- order correlation for a given exchange-correlation kernel, yielding errors of the total correlation energy on the order of 1% or less for most systems. For exchange-like kernels, our new method has the further benefit that the coupling-strength integration can be completely eliminated resulting in a modest reduction in computational cost compared to the traditional approach. When the correlation energy is accurately reproduced by the HOT approximation, structural properties and energy differences are also accurately reproduced, as confirmed by finding interlayer binding energies of several periodic solids and compared that to some molecular systems along with some phase transition parameters of SiC. Energy differences involving fragmentation have proved to be challenging for the HOT method, however, due to errors that do not cancel between a composite system and its constituent pieces which has been verified in our work as well.

Mean-field approaches successfully reproduce nuclear bulk properties like masses and radii within the Energy Density Functional (EDF) framework. However, complex correlations are missing in mean-field models and several observables related to single-particle and collective nuclear properties cannot be predicted accurately. The necessity to provide a precise description of the available data as well as reliable predictions in the exotic regions of the nuclear chart motivates the use of more sophisticated beyond-mean-field models. Correlations and higher-order corrections (beyond the leading mean-field order) are introduced. A crucial aspect in these calculations is the choice of the effective interaction to be used when one goes beyond the leading order (available effective interactions are commonly adjusted at the mean-field level). In the first part, we deal with the equation of state of nuclear matter evaluated up to the second order with the phenomenological Skyrme force. We analyze the ultraviolet divergence that is related to the zero range of the interaction and we introduce Skyrme-type regularized interactions that can be used at second order for matter. Cutoff regularization and dimen- sional regularization techniques are explored and applied. In the latter case, connections are naturally established between the EDF framework and some techniques employed in Effective Field Theories. In the second part, we check whether the regularized interactions introduced for nuclear matter can be employed also for finite nuclei. As an illustration, this analysis is performed within the particle- vibration model that represents an example of beyond mean-field models where an ultraviolet divergence appears if zero-range forces are used. These first applications suggest several directions to be explored to finally provide regularized interactions that are specially tailored for beyond- mean-field calculations for finite nuclei. Conclusions and perspectives are finally illustrated.

Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) can contribute to the alteration of biological functions in normal cells, leading to progression and malignant phenotype in cancer. Among them, microRNAs and Transcribed-ultraconserved regions (T-UCRs), a novel class of long non coding RNAs transcribed from ultraconserved regions (UCRs), can both act as key regulators of cancer gene expression. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been generally considered as members of the non-coding RNA family. In the last decade, an increasing number of studies focused on the evaluation of the coding potential of circRNAs. The role of ncRNAs and circRNAs in human cancer and the molecular mechanisms in which they are involved are under scrutiny. We decided to explore the cobweb of non-coding RNAs in human cancer by using in silico and in vitro approaches. In particular we focused our attention on the following themes: i) the coding potential of cancer circRNAs (evaluated in terms of novel primary structure and/or domain composition) and their differential expression in a pan-cancer dataset ii) the role of a set of T-UCRs, mutually exclusive with miR-221 expression, in the cell cycle circuitry of breast cancer cell lines; iii) the molecular network composed by non-coding RNA and their targets in breast cancer; iv) the molecular network of miRNA and their targets in the drug-resistance of colon carcinoma. These studies contribute to clarify the influence of non-coding regulators and circRNAs on various human cancer processes and might also offer hints to guide clinical applications.
Gli RNA non codificanti (ncRNA) possono contribuire all’alterazione delle funzioni biologiche in cellule normali, favorendo la progressione del fenotipo tumorale. Tra questi, microRNA e regioni ultra-conservate trascritte (T-UCRs), una nuova classe di long non coding RNAs, possono entrambi agire da regolatori dell’espressione dei geni coinvolti nella carcinogenesi. Per lungo tempo gli RNA circolari (circRNA) sono stati considerati membri della famiglia degli RNA non codificanti. Nell’ultimo decennio, diversi studi si sono focalizzati sulla valutazione del potenziale codificante dei circRNA. Il ruolo dei ncRNA e circRNA nei diversi tumori dell’uomo e i meccanismi molecolari in cui essi sono coinvolti sono ancora oggetto di discussione. Abbiamo investigato sulla rete di ncRNA nel cancro dell’uomo attraverso un approccio in silico e in vitro. In particolare sono stati approfonditi i seguenti temi: i) il potenziale codificante dei circRNA (valutato in termini di novità in struttura primaria e/o composizione in domini) e la loro espressione differenziale in un dataset di pan-cancer; ii) il ruolo di una serie di T-UCRs, espressi in maniera mutualmente esclusiva rispetto al miR-221, nel circuito del ciclo cellulare in linee di cancro al seno; iii) il network molecolare composto da ncRNA e i loro target nel tumore al seno; iv) il network molecolare di miRNA e i loro target nel contesto della resistenza farmacologica nel tumore al colon retto. Questi studi contribuiscono a chiarire l’influenza dei ncRNA e circRNA sui vari processi tumorali nell’uomo e potrebbero anche offrire degli spunti per applicazioni cliniche.

Pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) proteins are helical-repeat proteins that bind RNAs through a simple 1-repeat:1-nucleotide manner. Nucleotide specificity is determined by an amino acid code, the PPR code. This modular interaction mode, predictable code for nucleotide specificity, and simple repeating architecture make them a promising scaffold for engineering proteins to bind custom RNA sequences and binding site prediction of native PPR proteins. Despite these features, the alignments of the binding sites of well-characterized PPR proteins to the predicted binding sites often have mismatches and discontinuities, suggesting a tolerance for mismatches. In order to maximize the ability to predict the binding sites of native PPR proteins and effectively generate designer PPR proteins with predictable specificity, it will be important to address how affinity and specificity is distributed across a PPR tract. I developed a high- throughput bind-n-seq technique to rapidly and thoroughly address these questions. The affinity and specificity of the native PPR protein, PPR10 was determined using bind-n- seq. The results demonstrate that not all of PPR10’s repeats contribute equally to binding affinity, and there were sequence specific interactions that could not be explained by the PPR code, suggesting alternate modes of nucleotide recognition. A similar analysis of four different designer PPR proteins showed that they recognize RNA according to the code and lacked any alternate modes of nucleotide recognition, implying that the non- canonical sequence specific interactions represent idiosyncratic features of PPR10. This analysis also showed that N-terminal and purine specifying repeats have greater contributions to binding affinity, and that longer scaffolds have a greater tolerance for mismatches. Together, these findings highlight the challenges for binding site prediction and present implications for the design of PPR proteins with minimum off-target binding. This dissertation contains previously published and unpublished co-authored material.

The present dissertation is about International Tax Competition and its harmful effects, the role of International Organizations such as the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development ??? OECD and the Organized Civil Society in the fight against the damaging impacts of this international phenomenon. In a globalized era where technology plays a significant role, with the mobility of capital and the easy flow of investments, many tax systems are structured to offer benefits for non-resident investors, ???poaching??? other countries??? tax bases. The effects of these advantages offered are mostly harmful, since most taxpayers that take advantage of these harmful tax reducing schemes continue to utilize a particular country???s structure and the public services it offers, but end paying low or no taxes in these jurisdictions. The effects of these malpractices are very damaging to the global tax system, resulting in erosion that impairs the countries??? financial health and in many cases, it can also impact several countries??? social policies once they end up collecting fewer taxes that they should. These non-collected taxes could be invested in social programs to combat usual problems such as hunger, poor public health systems, security, education, and many others. And that is why the international community is discussing and researching this phenomenon trying to find ways that can lead to a harmonization of the international tax scenario, especially when the subject is harmful tax competition and its damaging effects. But not only Governments and International Organisms are involved in this cause. The Civil Society, through its organizations, has been working on these issues looking for better tax practices, normally directing more of their attention to the situation of poorer countries, since they have more difficulties in addressing these issues due to their lack of resources both to fight the harmful tax competition and to research solutions for it. One of the most active Civil Society???s Organization is the Tax Justice Network, which plays a significant in studying and publishing impactful reports on how the harmful tax practices affects countries??? economies, in an effort to achieve tax justice and fairness at a global level, alongside to dozens of others Civil Society???s Organizations spread around the World.
A presente disserta????o trata sobre a concorr??ncia tribut??ria internacional e os seus efeitos prejudiciais, o papel de Organiza????es Internacionais como a Organiza????o para a Coopera????o e Desenvolvimento Econ??mico ??? OCDE e da sociedade civil organizada no combate aos efeitos prejudiciais desse fen??meno internacional. Numa era globalizada, onde a tecnologia possui grande destaque e com a mobilidade do capital e do facilitado fluxo de investimentos, muitos sistemas tribut??rios s??o estruturados para oferecer benef??cios para investidores n??o-residentes, prejudicando a base tribut??ria de outros pa??ses. Os efeitos desses benef??cios oferecidos s??o na sua grande maioria prejudiciais, vez que a maioria dos contribuintes que tiram vantagem desses esquemas prejudiciais de redu????o de tributos continuam a se utilizar da estrutura e servi??os p??blicos do pa??s no qual se encontram, por??m, pagando poucos ou at?? mesmo nada a t??tulo de tributos nessas jurisdi????es. Os efeitos dessas pr??ticas s??o demasiadamente prejudiciais para o sistema tribut??rio global, resultando em eros??es nas bases tribut??rias, prejudicando a sa??de financeira dos pa??ses e, em muitos casos, prejudicando tamb??m a agenda social do pa??s, vez que os mesmos acabam por coletar menos impostos, que por sua vez poderiam ser reinvestidos em programas sociais para combater problemas b??sicos como a fome, sa??de p??blica, seguran??a, educa????o etc. E ?? por isso que a comunidade internacional est?? discutindo e pesquisando esse fen??meno, com o fim de encontrar caminhos que possam levar ?? harmoniza????o do cen??rio tribut??rio internacional, em especial quanto ?? competi????o tribut??ria prejudicial e os seus efeitos danosos. Mas n??o s??o s?? os pa??ses e Organiza????es Internacionais que est??o envolvidos nessa causa. A sociedade civil organizada, tamb??m conhecida como terceiro setor, atrav??s das suas organiza????es, est?? engajada na busca de melhores pr??ticas tribut??rias, normalmente direcionando a sua aten????o a quest??es ligadas aos pa??ses mais pobres, devido a falta de recursos para combater a competi????o tribut??ria prejudicial e pesquisar formas de solucion??-la. Uma das organiza????es da sociedade civil mais ativas ?? a ???Tax Justice Network???, destacando-se no estudo e publica????o de impactantes relat??rios que mostram como as pr??ticas tribut??rias prejudiciais afetam a economia dos pa??ses, de forma a alcan??ar justi??a fiscal e justi??a a um n??vel global, ao lado de dezenas de outras organiza????es da sociedade civil espalhadas ao redor do globo.

This thesis delves into the Moroccan rap scene and contemporary Morocco's social, political and economic context to examine the role of the state headed by the Makhzen (the Moroccan ruling elites) as main patrons of the arts in its attempt to use rap as a tool for social control. This project explores how, by promoting a 'modern' and liberal image of the country through patronage of selective rappers, the country's elites have honed a particular vision of the nation. It also looks at how other civil society groups have capitalized on rap to fulfill their own political agendas. Though forces conspired to silence certain rappers, voices of dissent that oppose dominant narratives have also emerged. Moreover, this thesis reflects on the different signifiers used to gain an audience and popular support, and the relation of rappers with urban unprivileged youth and their feelings of exclusion. It goes on to provide a nuanced analysis of rappers use of language, urban spaces, national and international music genres. In its analysis, this thesis unravels the Moroccan rap scene both as a music production at the intersection of national and local cultural politics, as well as one influenced by global cultural flows. It also examines how rappers reimagine national identity and the politics of patriotic rap songs. By presenting the complexities of the rap scene, this thesis aims at challenging the representation of youth cultural production in the MENA (Middle East and North Africa) region and Africa as simply a 'protest' culture. It looks beyond the binary where music is understood either as co-opted or dissenting and explores the politics of artistic creativity and music aesthetics. Analysis is supported by two years of fieldwork that expands on the dominant perception of rap music and youth in Morocco, the MENA region and Africa.

A study was conducted for NASA Dryden Flight Research Center to investigate the viability of developing an externally powered zero stage booster fan to boost the altitude performance of a high altitude turbojet from 80 kft. to over 90 kft., in order to realize a very high altitude subsonic remotely piloted aircraft (RPA) capable of atmospheric science missions. A modified non-airbreathing torpedo engine powers the booster fan. The powered fan is grafted onto an airbreathing turbojet (the General Electric YJ97 jet engine) and is used to supercharge the engine (boost inlet pressure and airflow) at altitudes above its original design limits. The inlet boost keeps the engine operating and delivering thrust, at subsonic speeds, to mission altitudes over 95,000 ft. If this modified engine were grafted back into the air vehicle it was originally designed for (the Viet Nam era AQM-91A Compass Arrow) the modifications would enable the vehicle to increase its maximum altitude from 80,000 ft to over 88,000 ft for periods up to 45 min. With some additional wing area, the aircraft, which is in the 5000 lbm TOGW class, could carry a 500 lbm payload to altitudes over 92,000 kft with an operational radius over 1500 NMi. This study examined a number of candidate component arrangements to realize this fan-boosted propulsion system. Performance was estimated for the subsystem components, the resulting propulsion systems, and the associated RPA. In addition, the study estimated the time and cost to demonstrate/validate this concept in a full-scale propulsion system wind tunnel test program. This paper describes the concept, summarizes the concept selection efforts and performance analysis conducted during the study, and explains the rationale behind this unusual approach. A description of the proposed development and test program, and the cost estimate, lies beyond the scope of this paper.

Abstract PETRONAS is operating total of more than 1,200 km in total length of pipeline onshore/offshore transporting processed and semi-process hydrocarbon with total no of >500 nos of pipelines within Peninsular of Malaysia as well as Sabah and Sarawak in Borneo. PETRONAS Group Technical Solutions (GTS) as a Centre of Excellence (COE) is providing services in design engineering as well as integrity solutions to pipeline operators operating assets wholly owned by and partly owned by PETRONAS operating within Malaysia as well as overseas. Records shows that aging facilities in the upwards trending approaching or beyond design life. Thus, for the past 10 years, PETRONAS has adopted ISO/TS 12747 – Recommended practice for pipeline life extension in ascertain current and future integrity of aging pipeline and determine risk-based inspection plan. Other than managing aging facilities, GTS also providing solutions in managing pipeline integrity for all major pipeline threat which requires proactive approach to reduce the risk at ALARP Level. One of the pipeline threats is geohazard due to soil movement along the pipeline right of way. EML Survey was conducted but requires further assessment by pipeline engineers to determine the severity to the pipeline due this soil movement. Each integrity assessment maybe painstaking and repetitive with duration of 1 months to 6 months based on the severity and complexity of inspection records. Taking advantage of PETRONAS inhouse digital platform data icloudbased and to align with Industrial Revolution 4.0, PETRONAS has embarked Robotic Process Automation to leverage on the digital data and to improve on the productivity. PETRONAS Group Digital, were consulted to assist on the development of RPA using commercialised software available in the market. This paper describes the process of RPA PipeRBot - Pipeline Integrity Assessments Virtual Robots to assist our Engineers to perform Integrity Assessments and increase process cycle efficiency. This PiperBothas completed proof of concept and ready to for deployment. With this Automation, we have achieved more than 50% of process efficiency and increase in productivity and more cost saving to end users which is pipeline operators, operating assets wholly owned by and partly owned by PETRONAS operating within Malaysia as well as overseas in PETRONAS Canada.

Gas turbine engines and high speed rotating machinery using magnetic bearings require auxiliary and backup bearings for reliability and safety of operation. A 140 mm diameter Zero Clearance Auxiliary Bearing (ZCAB) capable of supporting radial and/or thrust loads of up to 4500 N was designed for an advanced gas turbine engine. The ZCAB was fabricated and tested successfully up to the expected maximum operating speed of 18,000 rpm in a specially configured test rig. The test rig included a 36,000 rpm capable drive motor, a 64 kg rotor which simulates a gas turbine engine shaft dynamics, a damped ball bearing at the drive end and an active magnetic bearing next to the ZCAB. Operation in excess of 240 minutes and 20 transient engagements simulating magnetic bearing failures were completed in the initial tests. Post test inspection revealed minimal wear to the shaft and the ZCAB rollers, whereupon the ZCAB was reassembled for shipment. These preliminary tests confirm the operation and durability of the ZCAB in maintaining rotor support and continued operation even if the primary magnetic bearing support is overloaded or encounters a failure.

Previous studies have shown that chord extension morphing over a spanwise section of helicopter rotor blades can reduce main rotor power requirement in stall-dominant flight conditions while at the same time being able to increase the maximum gross weight, altitude, and flight speed capability of the aircraft. This study examines a centrifugally driven, fully passive chord morphing mechanism for helicopter rotor blades. It is based on a von-Mises truss situated aft of the leading-edge spar, connected to a rigid extension plate which deploys through a slit in the trailing-edge. When the rotor RPM increases beyond a critical value the chordwise component of centrifugal (CF) force on the von-Mises truss and plate assembly results in the deployment of the plate beyond the slit in the trailing edge, effectively increasing chord length. On reducing the RPM, a retraction spring pulls the plate back within the confines of the blade. This study presents the design process, iterations and the final design solution for a configuration that undergoes 20% chord extension. A prototype was fabricated and tested on the bench-top as well as on a rotor test stand at rotational speeds simulating 70% full-scale CF loads. The test results demonstrate that the concept works. However, effects such as friction lead to higher force (or RPM) requirements for deployment than predicted by simulation, and are present during retraction as well. The effects are more pronounced in the high CF field in the rotor test.

BackgroundCare recipients in care and welfare are increasingly presenting themselves with complex needs (Huber et al., 2016). An answer to this is the integrated organization of care and welfare in a way that personalized care is the measure (Topol, 2016). The reality, however, is that care and welfare are still mainly offered in a standardized, specialized and fragmented way. This imbalance between the need for care and the supply of care not only leads to under-treatment and over-treatment and thus to less (experienced) quality, but also entails the risk of mis-treatment, which means that patient safety is at stake (Berwick, 2005). It also leads to a reduction in the functioning of citizens and unnecessary healthcare cost (Olsson et al, 2009).Integrated CareIntegrated care is the by fellow human beings experienced smooth process of effective help, care and service provided by various disciplines in the zero line, the first line, the second line and the third line in healthcare and welfare, as close as possible (Ettema et al, 2018; Goodwin et al, 2015). Integrated care starts with an extensive assessment with the care recipient. Then the required care and services in the zero line, the first line, the second line and / or the third line are coordinated between different care providers. The care is then delivered to the person (fellow human) at home or as close as possible (Bruce and Parry, 2015; Evers and Paulus, 2015; Lewis, 2015; Spicer, 2015; Cringles, 2002).AimSupport societal participation, quality of live and reduce care demand and costs in people with complex care demands, through integration of healthcare and welfare servicesMethods (overview)1.

We analyze a model of gene transcription and protein synthesis which has been previously presented in the biological literature. The model takes the form of an ODE (ordinary differential equation) coupled to a DDE (delay differential equation), the state variables being concentrations of messenger RNA and protein. The delay is assumed to depend on the concentration of mRNA and is therefore state-dependent. Linear analysis gives a critical time delay beyond which a periodic motion is born in a Hopf bifurcation. Lindstedt’s method is applied to the nonlinear system, resulting in closed form approximate expressions for the amplitude and frequency of oscillation.

Review question / Objective: The aims of this study are: 1. To compare urinary complications of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy(RARP) and laparoscopic radical prostatectomy(LRP) in patients with prostate cancer; 2. To compare sexual complications of RARP and LRP in patients with prostate cancer. Condition being studied: Prostate cancer is one of the most prevalent types of cancer; according to 2018 statistics, prostate cancer was responsible for 7.1% of all cancer in men. The primary intervention in such patients is radical prostatectomy surgery (RP), which could be performed in different methods in patients that cancer has not spread beyond the prostate gland or has not spread much. One of the most common types of RP is laparoscopic radical prostatectomy. There are several techniques for performing RP; two are Conventional Laparoscopic Radical Prostatectomy (LRP) and Robot-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy (RARP). Sexual and urinary difficulties can occur in prostate cancer patients due to cancer itself or the treatment. Like any treatment option and surgery, radical prostatectomy can carry risks, like urinary(e.g., incontinency) and sexual complications(e.g., Impotence). In this review, we compared urinary and sexual complications of LRP and RARP.

This paper draws overarching conclusions based on a synthesis of previously published case studies that examined the impact of EU military training missions (EUTMs) in Somalia (EUTM Somalia, 2010–), Mali (EUTM Mali, 2013–), the Central African Republic (CAR) (EUTM RCA, 2016–). It concludes that EUTMs are relevant niche operations. Despite difficult circumstances beyond the control of the missions, EUTM training and advisory efforts have increased the effectiveness of partner armed forces. While these gains have been marginal in CAR and Somalia, they have been a bit more pronounced in Mali. Yet, broader security sector reform and defence sector reform efforts to improve the accountability and governance of defence and security sectors have become bogged down. The main challenge is that EUTMs are generally mandated to implement largely technical and tactical agendas in contexts where the ongoing armed conflict and the politics of the security sector are not conducive to building professional national security forces. As a consequence EUTMs find themselves caught up in interlinked and partially overlapping dilemmas. This study concludes with seven partly overlapping recommendations to EU member states and to EUTMs to address the main limitations that are restricting the impact of the missions.

Morrison, Mark, and Joshuah Miron. Molecular-Based Analysis of Cellulose Binding Proteins Involved with Adherence to Cellulose by Ruminococcus albus. United States Department of Agriculture, November 2000. http://dx.doi.org/10.32747/2000.7695844.bard.

At the beginning of this project, it was clear that R. albus adhered tightly to cellulose and its efficient degradation of this polysaccharide was dependent on micromolar concentrations of phenylacetic acid (PAA) and phenylpropionic acid (PPA). The objectives for our research were: i) to identify how many different kinds of cellulose binding proteins are produced by Ruminococcus albus; ii) to isolate and clone the genes encoding some of these proteins from the same bacterium; iii) to determine where these various proteins were located and; iv) quantify the relative importance of these proteins in affecting the rate and extent to which the bacterium becomes attached to cellulose. BARD support has facilitated a number of breakthroughs relevant to our fundamental understanding of the adhesion process. First, R. albus possesses multiple mechanisms for adhesion to cellulose. The P.I.'s laboratory has discovered a novel cellulose-binding protein (CbpC) that belongs to the Pil-protein family, and in particular, the type 4 fimbrial proteins. We have also obtained genetic and biochemical evidence demonstrating that, in addition to CbpC-mediated adhesion, R. albus also produces a cellulosome-like complex for adhesion. These breakthroughs resulted from the isolation (in Israel and the US) of spontaneously arising mutants of R. albus strains SY3 and 8, which were completely or partially defective in adhesion to cellulose, respectively. While the SY3 mutant strain was incapable of growth with cellulose as the sole carbon source, the strain 8 mutants showed varying abilities to degrade and grow with cellulose. Biochemical and gene cloning experiments have been used in Israel and the US, respectively, to identify what are believed to be key components of a cellulosome. This combination of cellulose adhesion mechanisms has not been identified previously in any bacterium. Second, differential display, reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (DD RT-PCR) has been developed for use with R. albus. A major limitation to cellulose research has been the intractability of cellulolytic bacteria to genetic manipulation by techniques such as transposon mutagenesis and gene displacement. The P.I.'s successfully developed DD RT- PCR, which expanded the scope of our research beyond the original objectives of the project, and a subset of the transcripts conditionally expressed in response to PAA and PPA have been identified and characterized. Third, proteins immunochemically related to the CbpC protein of R. albus 8 are present in other R. albus strains and F. intestinalis, Western immunoblots have been used to examine additional strains of R. albus, as well as other cellulolytic bacteria of ruminant origin, for production of proteins immunochemically related to the CbpC protein. The results of these experiments showed that R. albus strains SY3, 7 and B199 all possess a protein of ~25 kDa which cross-reacts with polyclonal anti-CbpC antiserum. Several strains of Butyrivibrio fibrisolvens, Ruminococcus flavefaciens strains C- 94 and FD-1, and Fibrobacter succinogenes S85 produced no proteins that cross-react with the same antiserum. Surprisingly though, F. intestinalis strain DR7 does possess a protein(s) of relatively large molecular mass (~200 kDa) that was strongly cross-reactive with the anti- CbpC antiserum. Scientifically, our studies have helped expand the scope of our fundamental understanding of adhesion mechanisms in cellulose-degrading bacteria, and validated the use of RNA-based techniques to examine physiological responses in bacteria that are nor amenable to genetic manipulations. Because efficient fiber hydrolysis by many anaerobic bacteria requires both tight adhesion to substrate and a stable cellulosome, we believe our findings are also the first step in providing the resources needed to achieve our long-term goal of increasing fiber digestibility in animals.
