Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting (FGM/C) is a harmful traditional practice with severe health complications, deeply rooted in many Sub-Saharan African countries. In The Gambia, the prevalence of FGM/C 78.3% women aged between 15 and 49 years. objective this study to perform first evaluation magnitude consequences Gambia. Data were collected on types each type from 871 female patients who consulted for any problem requiring medical gynaecologic examination had undergone different were: I,...
Female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C) is a harmful traditional practice deeply rooted in 28 Sub-Saharan African countries. Its prevalence The Gambia 76.3%. objective of this study was to gain precise information on the long-term health consequences FGM/C as well its impact delivery and newborns.Data were collected from 588 female patients examined for antenatal care or hospitals centers Western Health Region, Gambia. collected, both through questionnaire medical examination, included...
Female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C) is a harmful traditional practice with severe consequences for the health and well-being of girls women. Health care professionals (HCPs) are therefore expected to be aware how identify manage these in order ensure that those affected by receive quality care. Moreover, their integration legitimacy within communities allow them play key role prevention practice. Nevertheless, perception HCPs on FGM/C has been barely explored African contexts. This...
We present outcomes from a large-scale air quality citizen science campaign (xAire, 725 measurements) to demonstrate its positive contribution in the interplay between advances exposure assessment and developments policy or collective action. A broad partnership with 1,650 people communities around 18 primary schools across Barcelona provided capacity obtain unprecedented high-resolution NO2 levels an updated asthma Health Impact Assessment. It is shown that vary considerably at some cases...
Under the name of Citizen Science, many innovative practices in which volunteers partner up with scientists to pose and answer real-world questions are growing rapidly worldwide. Science can furnish ready-made solutions citizens playing an active role. However, this framework is still far from being well established as a standard tool for computational social science research. Here, we present our experience bridging gap between philosophy underlying case has taken form what call ``pop-up...
Can public libraries become hubs for citizen science? In line with the principles of science, this question was answered collaboratively librarians from Barcelona Network Public Libraries who performed two hands-on activities. One activity a training course taken by 30 24 different which enabled them to envisage science implementation at each library. The other consisted co-creating social project and involved 40 library users, seven three cities, professional scientists. analysis considers...
Abstract Computational social science is being scrutinised and some concerns have been expressed with regards to the lack of transparency inclusivity in researches. However, how computational can be reformulated adopt participatory inclusive practices? And, furthermore, which aspects shall carefully considered make possible this reformulation? We present a practical case that addresses challenge collectively studying interactions within community-based mental health care. This study done by...
Abstract Metal hexacyanoferrates are well known molecular solids for a large variety of cations, although very little has been described actinide adducts. Two new members actinide(III) were synthesized with the cations americium and californium. They structurally characterized by infrared X‐ray absorption spectroscopy. Combined EXAFS data at iron K edge L 3 provide evidence three‐dimensional model these two compounds. Structural in terms bond lengths compared to those reported parent...
Abstract Social physics is an active and diverse field in which many scientists with formal training study a broad class of complex social phenomena. investigates societal problems but most often does not count on the conscious participation citizens. We here want to support idea that citizen science, more particularly can contribute physics. The current manuscript review paper science projects from context as there are still too few experiences this context. We, contrast, present selection...
Summary The uptake of iodine species (I − /IO 3 ) by HCP (hardened cement paste) and a CSH (calcium silicate hydrate) phase under highly alkaline conditions has been investigated using X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS). study was performed at the I K-edge (33.169 keV) instead L -edge (4.557 to avoid interference with Ca ( K -edge=4.038 keV), major element in phases. XANES (X-rays near-edge structure) spectra revealed no changes formal oxidation state iodide (I(-I) iodate (I(V)O upon CSH....
TRLFS has been used to study the U VI O 2 2+ -PO 4 3- system, in 1 5 pH range, for [PO ] = × 10 -3 1.02 -1 M range and [UO 1.2 -5 M. The data acquisition procedure was based on four different sets of parameters, which were chosen order maximize fluorescence signal time domains. fitting simulate corresponding decays curves crosscheck results inter-comparison between solutions concentrations. Five lifetimes τ evidenced associated with five uranyl species (UO (H PO ) , UO H + HPO - ). results,...
In this study, the immobilization mechanisms of Sn(IV) onto calcium silicate hydrates (C−S−H) and hardened cement paste (HCP) have been investigated by combining wet chemistry experiments with X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS). Evidence is presented which demonstrates formation a inner-sphere surface complex on C−S−H CaO/SiO2 weight ratio 0.7. Two possible structural models, implying corner sharing between Sn octahedra Q1 or Q2b Si tetrahedra, developed based experimentally determined...

An IV Fe II (CN) 6 ·xH 2 O (An = Th, U, Np) molecular compounds have been prepared by precipitation from acidic media. These microcrystalline characterized infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and absorption spectroscopy. They found to be isostructural with the Ln III KFe ·4H compounds. The structures of these are presented their chemical formulas given: in all compounds, Fe(CN) octahedra is conserved ion linked N atoms CN ligands. formal oxidation states also discussed.Key words:...
Even though citizen and patient engagement in health research has a long tradition, science only recently gained attention recognition. However, at present, there is no clear overview of what major challenges initiatives the domain are facing, nor makes distinctive from other domains, if all. Such an could contribute to highlighting articulating different voices needs stakeholders engaged any form domain. Besides that, it may encourage input citizens patients alike innovation, policy...
As libraries struggle to keep pace with the changing societal landscape, emerging practices such as citizen science (CS) initiatives are being incorporated reinforce idea of public gathering, meeting, and collaboration spaces within context shared community learning resources. However, there is little empirical evidence whether most open participatory ways that CS puts forward can converge be nurtured by essence libraries. Also, roles librarians users in 'next generation library' have been...
