Developing National Identity Scale: As Indonesian Case
<p><strong><em>Background: </em></strong></p> <p><em>National identity is an important concept to be developed, so it is necessary to have a measurement instrument with evidence of validity and reliability. Thus, the accuracy of the information obtained through the measurement of this instrument will be guaranteed.</em></p> <p> </p> <p><strong><em>Objective:</em></strong></p> <p><em>This article aims to test the psychometric properties of the national identity scale to fulfil the standardization of good measurement.</em></p> <p> </p> <p><strong><em>Method:</em></strong></p> <p><em>In this study, three analytical approaches were used: content validity involving eight subject matter experts (SME), confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and reliability analysis.

Outcome of the 3 Manifesto Development Workshops held by the ReMO COST Action between 20th and 26th April 2021
<p>These documents are the result of a series of three online workshops held between 20th and 26th April 2021 by the Researcher Mental Health (ReMO) COST Action. The 2-hour long workshops focussed on engaging the ReMO community through developing recommendations for the <a href="https://zenodo.org/record/5559806">Researcher Mental Health and Well-being Manifesto</a> based on the specific impact priorities of each of ReMO's three Working Groups:</p> <ul> <li> <p>Working Group 1: System level - the ERA working environment</p> </li> <li> <p>Working Group 2: Institutional level - Wellbeing Practices in Research Institutions</p> </li> <li> <p>Working Group 3: Local actors - Promoting researcher well-being on a practical level </p> </li> </ul> <p>These workshops were based on the outcomes of a previous process to perform <a href="https://zenodo.org/record/5643588">SWOT analyses</a> and <a href="https://zenodo.org/record/5643362">Impact analyses</a>.The following procedure was executed:</p> <ul> <li> <p>First, the working group chairs introduced the focus of each working group.</p> </li> <li> <p>Participants were randomly assigned to small parallel discussion groups. In four discussion rounds, participants identified actions to prioritise within the Manifesto and the agenda of the Working Group over project lifetime and populated the matrix of the padlet. </p> </li> <li> <p>Subsequently, through a plenary discussion the ideas recorded in the matrix were discussed, duplications and similar items were merged. </p> </li> <li> <p>As a result, the three Manifesto matrices for the three working groups were finalized and synthesized to a project level Manifesto matrix.</p> </li> </ul> <p>The process aimed to distill a number of key themes and actions, which are critical for developing a model of doctoral education and more general research culture embracing researcher mental health as a key priority. This process led to the publication of the <a href="https://zenodo.org/record/5559806">Researcher Mental Health and Well-being Manifesto</a>.</p> <p>The audience’s responses were anonymous, and they were recorded in a padlet, whose contents are available here.</p>

A Promising Concept for the Development of Means for the Prevention of Radiation Pathologies
<p>The problem of developing radioprotective means, capable of mitigating the effects of radiation exposure on the body, is associated not only with the danger of terrorist, military incidents or emergencies at nuclear facilities. An important area for the use of radioprotectors is space exploration, in particular, the need for crew members, protected only by a spacesuit, to enter open space. Furthermore, the solution to the problem of radiotherapy complications in oncology can also be the use of selective radioprotectors able to protect healthy tissues without reducing the effectiveness of tumor radiotherapy. An example of such approach is the use of amifostine in radiotherapy of a number of head-neck tumors.</p> <p>It is important to understand that the developed means should be well tolerated not only by healthy volunteers, but also by people of different ages, physical conditions, including the elderly and debilitated cancer patients. In particular, the adverse effects of amifostine in its effective radioprotective doses lead to a significant limitation of its clinical use.</p> <p>The solution to the problem of radioprotector safety can be the development of combinations containing several radiomodifying substances in small doses. Such compositions are capable of providing a synergistic radioprotective effect and good patient tolerance.</p> <p>Compounds capable of selectively inhibiting endothelial and inducible nitric oxide synthase (NOS) could be the base of such combinations. We have shown that NOS-inhibitors, in particular, N,S-substituted isothioureas, are highly effective in relatively safe doses. For example, the optimal radioprotective dose of one of them, T1023, with dose modifying factor (DMF) of 1.6 - 1.8, is 1/5-1/4 LD10.</p> <p>It has been shown that T1023 and its derivatives are highly effective both for parenteral and oral administration.</p> <p>These compounds provide pronounced prophylaxis of bone marrow and intestinal forms of acute radiation syndrome. Moreover, they are capable to effectively, with a DMF of 1.45, provide the prophylaxis of early and late complications in mouse and rat models of single and fractionated radiotherapy of solid tumors. It is important that the use of these compounds does not reduce the effectiveness of radiotherapy.</p> <p>The radioprotective effect of these compounds is realized by a specific molecular mechanism - by suppressing the endothelium-dependent eNOS/sGC/cGMP pathway of vascular relaxation. The mechanism of radioprotective activity of NOS inhibitors brings them with vasoactive radioprotectors - α1-adrenoreceptor agonists and 5-HT2 serotonin receptors. Therefore, their combined use is accompanied by a synergistic radioprotective effect. This opens up prospects for the creation of highly effective and safe radioprotector combinations.</p>
Impact of New Developments in the Commissioning of Operational Radiation Protección in Compact Proton Therapy Centers (CPTC)
<p>Proton therapy is in continuous ever evolving to improve its performance. Some prominent current trends involve cutting-edge delivery methods or building compact proton centers. New developments have a direct impact in radiation protection of proton facilities and actions should be developed continuously with the aim that new centers meet all the requirements. The study of radiological protection in multi-room centers has been widely studied elsewhere, however, compact centers have specific features that pose a challenge in radiation protection, and the present work suggest different contributions to the body of knowledge in these compact facilities. Compact Proton Therapy Centers (CPTC) act out latest advances in particles: Usually have one single room, small footprint and a standard configuration, higher radiation density (Sv/m<sup>2</sup>), using the most advanced equipment and machinery to reduce their size, the delivery mode of protons is Pencil Beam Scanning (PBS), and there is a mix of professional exposed workers (clinical and technical staff) in these centers.</p> <p>The present work is framed into the project Contributions to operational radiation protection and neutron dosimetry in compact proton therapy centers (CPTC), which is focused on assessing the impact of these innovations on the operational radiation protection and commissioning of the compact facilities. Thus, several tasks have been carried out over the last three years, as checking and evaluation of shielding, comparing ambient dose equivalent of several CPTC, analyzing activation with different types of concrete, and activation in machinery, air and water of the facility, characterizing wide range rem-meters and neutron area monitors to measure neutron fields, studying new proton delivery techniques and their neutron fields, or assessing personal dosemeters, among others. The aim of the work is to present outcomes achieved in the aforementioned areas. As a result, a commissioning process of the operational radiation protection in compact centers will be suggested, lined up with the requirements by the Spanish Regulatory Body.</p> <p>Considering topics as new methods of application of dose in development (proton arc therapy, flash-therapy with protons), new materials for barriers and shielding or recent radiation monitoring equipment, future works must be carried out to study their impact on operational radiation protection and recommendations such as ICRP Publication 127, Radiological Protection in Ion Beam Radiotherapy, should be updated periodically taking into account the new methods and technologies developed.</p>
Developing the System of Radiological Protection to Enhance Its Contribution to the UN Sustainable Development Goals
<p>The system of radiological protection has evolved since the publication of the ICRP’s first set of recommendations in 1959. It has enabled the beneficial uses of radiation and radioactive substances while protecting humans from their harmful tissue reactions and carcinogenic (and other stochastic) effects. The system has arguably been world leading in the protection of humans from carcinogens.</p> <p>Since the publication of the most recent ICRP recommendations in 2007 the pace of change in global socio-economic challenges and environmental degradation has accelerated. We face climate, biodiversity and pollution emergencies as well as global health crises such as Covid-19 and increases in non-communicable diseases such as cancer.</p> <p>In addressing the global issues we face it is therefore more important than ever to take an integrated approach to balancing social, environmental and economic risks and impacts. In the context of radiological protection it is vital that our efforts to reduce or control radiation risks consider the wider consequences of those efforts if we are to avoid causing more harm than good.</p> <p>The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are an ideal framework for facilitating a balanced approach to socio-economic development and environmental protection and enhancement. They recognise that ending poverty and other deprivations must go hand-in-hand with improving health and education, reducing inequality, and spurring economic growth – all while tackling climate change and preserving our environment.</p> <p>The ICRP system of radiological protection is based on three fundamental principles: justification, optimisation and the limitation of radiation exposure. The principle of justification requires that any decision that changes the amount of radiation exposure should do more good than harm. Optimisation requires that radiation exposure should be kept as low as reasonably achievable, taking into account economic and societal factors. Optimisation is not the minimisation of radiation exposure rather the maximising of the net benefit relative to the radiation exposure.</p> <p>This paper explores how the system of radiological protection contributes to the delivery of sustainable development and considers how the SDGs might be taken into account in its further development and application to ensure that the system is fit for the 21st century.</p>

Data Supplement for 'Curled Wake Development of a Yawed Wind Turbine at Turbulent and Sheared Inflow' - Wind Energy Science Journal
<p>Data Supplement for 'Curled Wake Development of a Yawed Wind Turbine at Turbulent and Sheared Inflow' - Wind Energy Science Journal</p> <p>This database contains the measurement using a model wind turbine with 0.6m diameter(D) in a wind tunnel. A short-range Lidar WindScanner facilitated mapping the wake with a high spatial and temporal resolution in vertical, cross-stream planes at different downstream locations and in a horizontal plane at hub height.</p> <p>The measurement campaign was conducted in the large wind tunnel at ForWind-University of Oldenburg. The wind tunnel has a test section cross-section with the dimensions of 3m x3m. For this study three movable test section elements of 6m length were attached for a total enclosed length of 18m. The roof of the test section was adjusted to compensate for boundary layer growth to achieve a zero pressure gradient for the target wind speed of the experiments, nominally 7.5m/s, with an empty tunnel with no grid or turbine installed. The three-bladed MoWiTO 0.6 wind turbine model(Schottler et al.(2016)), with a hub height (h) of 0.77m and a diameter of 0.58m was placed at a distance of 2.4D downstream of the test section inlet, where the distance was measured to the centre of the rotor. In addition, the distance between the rotor center and the tower center is 110mm.<br> The flow blockage, based on rotor swept area and tower flow-facing area, was 2.7%. The wind turbine controller is based on the torque of the generator (Petrovi ́c et al. (2018)) leading to a tip speed ratio of 5.7 at the operational point during non-misaligned cases with no grid.

Life on a leaf: the development of spatial structure in epiphyll communities
<p>1. The spatial structure of biotic communities can be shaped by niche-based or stochastic processes, and the importance of both can change through time. Niche-based processes include neighbour interactions, which can change in intensity and quality as communities develop in dependence of environmental conditions. Epiphylls, miniature communities of liverworts, lichens, algae and fungi on leaves, develop only in relatively moist forests, but their leaf-surface habitat is still characterised by moisture stress, especially in more exposed parts of the forest. As neighbours may alleviate moisture stress, we expected that in forest gaps (dryer, brighter) epiphyll communities would show more positive neighbour interactions, resulting in more clustered spatial patterns, than in closed forest, in accordance with the stress-gradient hypothesis.</p> <p>2. To understand how the processes shaping epiphyll communities change through time and differ between gaps and closed forest, we examined the fine-scale spatial structure within and between epiphyll functional groups (algae, fungi, lichens, liverworts) during 12 months on 60 leaves across twelve sites in a tropical rainforest in Panama. We analysed changes in spatial positions and spatial associations within and between functional groups using spatial point pattern analysis based on repeated photography.</p> <p>3. Epiphyll densities increased through time for most epiphyll functional groups. However, although epiphyll groups changed their positions through time, the general types of spatial patterns remained similar for most groups: only lichen patterns shifted from mostly random to mostly aggregated through time. We found only random and aggregated spatial patterns within groups, while among groups we additionally found segregated spatial associations, but no consistent temporal trend. Patterns did not differ between gaps and closed forest, thus not supporting the stress-gradient hypothesis.</p> <p>4. Synthesis. Our results only weakly support the assumption that community-shaping processes change from neutral to niche-based as communities develop. We do provide empirical evidence that epiphyll communities are dynamic and exhibit different spatial association patterns within than among groups. This suggests different interactions and processes within than between groups. Experimental studies and monitoring of individual epiphyll patches are recommended to shed further light on what processes shape life on leaves.</p>
Files used to develop and test SLAG, Seeded Local Assembly of Genes
<p>This dataset consists of configuration files and results files involved in developing and testing SLAG, an iterative Perl pipeline to construct local assemblies seeded on query sequences. SLAG is intended for situations where a full genome assembly is economically or technically infeasible, and thus it emphasizes methods that can deal with shallow read depth. SLAG and its user-runnable test suite have been deposited at https://github.com/cfcrane/SLAG. This Dryad repository contains files that were used in preparing a manuscript, "SLAG: A Program for Seeded Local Assembly of Genes in Complex Genomes", which has been submitted to Molecular Ecology Resources. The repository is divided into sections for scripts, simulated reads, real reads, and benchmarking against two functionally similar programs, aTRAM2 and SRAssembler.</p>
