Diabetes Care for You: leadership, followership, partnership

AbstractThe 2022 Mary MacKinnon lecture reminds us of some of the history of the development of out of hospital specialist diabetes services in the United Kingdom. There have been multiple clarion calls across the years to collaborate, share information and values and break down traditional boundaries in the pursuit of improved patient care and outcomes. Along with this, we note the roles of clinical and managerial leadership, followership and partnership in working together with people living with diabetes to co‐produce a model of diabetes care and then to ensure through good stewardship of shared resources that the expectations of that change are delivered for our population. We go on to discuss how the Diabetes Care for You team has continued to innovate and provide care during the pandemic and conclude with a vision of the future and a challenge for decision makers to put the needs of the population at the forefront of future planning.

STATE MANAGEMENT OF OUT-OF- SCHOOL ESTABLISHMENTS OF UKRAINE (THE XX – THE BEGINNING OF THE XXI CENTURY). PERIODS OF ITS DEVELOPMENT

The article stresses upon the fact that reference to the history of non- school establishments, their management, financing and staffing gives an opportunity to take into account achievements, drawbacks and prospects of this important social – pedagogical processes in the historical retrospection. The author defines seven periods in the development of out – of – school education state management within the period of the XX- the beginning of the XXI century. They characterize the activity of state bodies concerning promoting the development of out- of – school education as a social institution of up- bringing children and youth. Besides the author single out their proper features and the main directions of the state policy regarding out- of – school education.Key words: out – of –school education, management of out – of school education, state management of out –of –school education, period, state bodies

An Out of Memory tSVD for Big-Data Factorization

Singular value decomposition (SVD) is a matrix factorization method widely used for dimension reduction, data analytics, information retrieval, and unsupervised learning. In general, only singular values of SVD are needed for most big-data applications. Methods such as tensor networks require an accurate computation of a substantial number of singular vectors, which can be accomplished through truncated SVD (tSVD). Additionally, many real-world datasets are too big to fit into the available memory, which mandates the development of out of memory algorithms that assume that most of the data resides on an external disk during the entire computation. These algorithms reduce communication to disk and hide part of the communication by overlapping it with communication on blocks of work. Here, building upon previous works on SVD for dense matrices, we present a method for computation of a predetermined number, $K$ , of SVD singular vectors, and the corresponding $K$ singular values, of a matrix that cannot fit in the memory. Our out of memory tSVD can be used for tensor networks algorithms. We describe ways for reducing the communication during the computation of the left and right reflectors, needed to compute the singular vectors, and introduce a method for estimating the block-sizes needed to hide the communication on parallel file systems.

Non-formal science education: The relevance of science camps

Non-formal science education means goal-oriented learning outside of school. The use of out of school learning environments (e.g. science camps) has been found to increase motivation and interest in natural sciences. In this study, the relevance of non-formal science education in science camps has been analyzed from the perspectives of children and families, which has not been studied before. The analysis of relevance has been based on the relevance theory developed by Stuckey, Hofstein, Mamlok-Naaman & Eilks in 2013. The study focuses on the 46 science camps organized by the University of Helsinki LUMA Centre in the years 2015 and 2016, involving more than 900 schoolchildren and some of their parents (N=124). The study examined also the impact of children’s gender and children’s earlier interest in science on the relevance of chemistry related science camps. Survey and theme interview were both used as research methods.
 The results of the survey show that non-formal science education in science camps is relevant according to both the children and the families, mainly at the level of individual relevance, with emphasis on present and intrinsic dimensions of relevance. The tasks related to the camp themes, for example in chemistry camps, experimental work in the laboratory, and friends made in the science camps are the most relevant for children. The chemistry science camps are individually most relevant to those children who didn’t have much earlier interest in chemistry. Boys are more confident about their own interests at the individual relevance level than girls. At the level of societal relevance, boys are more focused on present-day relevance than girls when girls also consider the future. The levels of societal and vocational relevance were only slightly visible in the answers of the survey. However, based on theme interviews, camps were considered as relevant for all relevance levels of the relevance theory.
 The results of this research can be utilized in the development of out of school learning environments, especially in the development of science camps and in further research.

A real time study on drying and the mechano-optical behavior of polyvinyl alcohol films in solid and swollen state

In this paper, we investigate film drying followed by mechano-optical behavior of PVA films in solid and swollen state, respectively. During drying the real time evolution of thickness, weight, and birefringence (both in and out of plane) are captured using a highly instrumented measurement system. During drying, initially isotropic solution rapidly loses water and beyond a critical stage it develops optical anisotropy in the thickness direction as reflected in rapid development of out of plane birefringence while in-plane isotropy is maintained. Stretching the dried films in the solid state yields three regimes of non-linear stress and strain-optical behavior. The temperature shows a positive effect on the birefringence value at given true strain levels. Swelling the PVA films with water, facilitate room temperature stretchability, hence providing a route of stretching that avoids decomposition and discoloration that occurs at elevated temperatures. The effects of moisture content on mechano-optical properties of PVA films are mapped and opposite dependences of photolelastic and strain optical constants on moisture content are observed.

Sustainable development and economic competition

This paper examines the tension between the economic benefits of commercial development and the objectives associated with the development of sustainable urban forms. Economic forces have led to the building forms and development patterns we now have. These have been modified by government controls such as urban and regional planning to a varying extent at different times and in different places. A key issue in the debate about sustainable development in the UK currently concerns the development of out of town facilities. Activities which have traditionally located in town centres; shopping, leisure and commerce have been decentralising to out of town sites, often in new forms of property. Legislation has been passed by Central Government in order to limit this trend. Two case studies are used to explore this issue. The first is from a study for Worcester (UK) City Council. Here an out of town site was proposed for office use in order to strengthen the service sector and improve local economic performance. The second, for Adur District Council concerns the development of out of town retail facilities in a nearby authority. The questions arising are the balance between environmental and economic objectives; the influence of competition and the methods by which some form of control may be introduced. Finally the paper uses a biological metaphor to suggest that there may be reasons for planning authorities' competitive attitudes, which are beyond the rational and which are rooted in their organisational structure.

Retail services ride the waves

Within the UK, the continuing development of out of town retail outlets is well documented in the literature. The process is usually depicted as a set of four waves. However, all four waves focus on the retailing of goods rather than of services. Asserts that there are growing indications that retail services complexes are playing an increasingly leading role in the process of retail decentralisation. Describes some of the contributions to the growth of out of town services retailing and outlines a number of planning issues associated with them. Focuses on multiplex cinemas, leisure complexes and hyperpubs.

A Neural Network to Predict Particleboard Manufacturing Process Parameters

Abstract A methodology to predict the occurrence of out of control conditions, based on current operating conditions, in a particleboard manufacturing facility was developed using neural network theory. Multivariable linear regression and time series analysis techniques were applied to analyze the data set for informational purposes. Back-propagation neural networks were successfully trained to represent bonding treatment process parameters. The inputs to the network included data representing the current process condition, including moisture contents, bulk densities, and dryer temperatures, along with historical values of these same parameters. Neither the regression nor the time series analysis resulted in the development of a valid statistical model. The best trained neural networks were able to successfully predict the development of out of control conditions in the manufacturing process for 70% of the test cases, having been trained using only a relatively small training data set. Thus the potential for the utilization of neural networks in manufacturing process analysis was demonstrated. For. Sci. 37(5):1463-1478.
