    Abstract Organically coated steels are widely used in applications in which they are subjected to the natural environment and therefore require excellent corrosion resistance. Organic clearcoats are typically employed as a barrier that improves the overall corrosion resistance; however, they are typically derived from fossil fuel-based feedstock. A more sustainable alternative could be possible using sol-gel coatings. The application of a simple tetraethoxysilane (TEOS)-based sol-gel was applied to polyurethane-coated steels using a spray coater. The concentration of TEOS was altered to produce coatings containing either 2.5% or 10%. The 10% TEOS resulted in dense, homogeneous coatings that offered a significant improvement in corrosion resistance compared to an uncoated substrate. Whereas the 2.5% TEOS coatings were inhomogeneous and porous, which indicated a limitation of concentration required to produce a uniform coating. The successful demonstration of using a simple TEOS-based coating to improve the corrosion resistance of organically coated steel highlights the potential for further investigation into the use of sol-gels for these applications.

    Abstract Background: The use of multi-sensory rooms as a form of engagement with art in Palliative Care is largely unexplored.
    Method: This practice-based report discusses a qualitative study exploring the experiences of hospice-based inpatients receiving end-of-life care and their carers who immersed themselves into a multi-sensory room.
    Results: Findings demonstrate that the room provided a safe space for reflection and reconnection that counteracted challenging times during their end of life. It fostered healing and wellbeing by alleviated suffering through respite and sharing of treasured memories with loved ones. Key considerations for future iterations are also discussed.

    Abstract The CRP on Water, Land and Ecosystems (WLE) aims to “learn how to intensify farming activities, expand agricultural areas and restore degraded lands, while using natural resources wisely and minimizing harmful impacts on supporting ecosystems.” WLE is led by the International Water Management Institute (IWMI). It encompasses nearly all research at IWMI, but it is a partnership of 11 participating CGIAR Centers, with CIAT, Bioversity, ICRAF, and IITA as the most significant partners. WLE comprises five Strategic Research Portfolios (SRPs): (1) irrigated agriculture; (2) rainfed agriculture; (3) resource recovery and reuse; (4) river basins [into which CPWF merged]; and (5) information systems technology. Two additional themes are “Gender, Poverty, and Institutions” and “Ecosystem Services and Resilience,” themes which cut across the five SRPs. Focusing on Africa and Asia, WLE has selected the Volta, Nile, Ganges, and Mekong river basins for particular emphasis in its research, policy influence, and partnership outreach activities. The primary purpose of this evaluation is to enhance the contribution that the CRP on Water, Land and Ecosystems is likely to make towards reaching the CGIAR goals on reducing poverty, improving food security, and managing natural resources sustainably. As for all CRP evaluations, the purpose is to provide essential evaluative information for decision-making by Program management and its funders on issues such as extension, expansion and structuring of the program and adjustments in some aspects of the program.

    Abstract Northeast Atlantic climate shifted into the Quaternary Ice Age around 2.6 M yr ago. Until now, however, the detailed changes associated with this inception of an Ice Age have remained obscure. New high-quality three-dimensional seismic data reveal a detailed geological record of buried surfaces, landforms and sedimentary architecture over vast parts of the Norwegian North Sea. Here, we show the sequence of near-coast geological events spanning the Northeast Atlantic inception of an Ice Age. We identify the location of immediate pre-glacial fluvially derived sandy systems where rivers from the Norwegian mainland built marine deltas. The stratigraphic position of a large submarine channel, formed by enhanced meltwater from initial build-up of local glaciers, is also shown. Finally, we document the transition to full ice-sheet growth over Scandinavia from the ice sheet's earliest position to the later pattern of debris-flow lobes reaching the present-day shelf edge.

    Abstract Background: Sedation and anesthesia are widely used to relieve pain and ensure cooperation during elective diagnostic and medical procedures in the pediatric population. However, there is currently limited evidence about the recovery trajectory following deep sedation or general anesthesia for such procedures in children.
    Aims: The primary aim was to describe the severity and duration of pain, nausea, and vomiting after common diagnostic and medical procedures. Secondary outcomes include return to baseline functioning and incidence of medical re-presentation.
    Methods: Recruitment was achieved postprocedurally by telephone interview with parents or legal guardians of patients who underwent botox injection, bronchoscopy, either or both a colonoscopy or upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, or MRI scan. Daily pain scores, nausea and vomiting, administration of at-home analgesia, and any adverse events requiring medical attention were obtained. Children were followed until pain completely resolved and baseline activity resumed.
    Results: A total of 307 patients were included (50 botox injection, bronchoscopy and MRI; 48 colonoscopy, 58 upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, 51 colonoscopy plus upper gastrointestinal endoscopy). Parental-rated pain scores peaked on day of procedure across all groups and decreased over time, with most children resuming normal activity within 1 day postprocedure. Pain was mostly mild and resolved quickly in botox injection (10% moderate to severe and 22% mild), bronchoscopy (8% and 10%, respectively), and MRI (2% mild) patients. Combined upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and colonoscopy was associated with greatest pain severity (29% moderate to severe and 20% mild). Highest rates of nausea and/or vomiting were observed in colonoscopy (23%), upper gastrointestinal endoscopy (28%), and combined procedure groups (20%). At-home simple analgesia was administered in 21% of patients. Unplanned medical re-presentations were infrequent across all groups.
    Conclusion: This study demonstrates that the recovery trajectory following procedural sedation and anesthesia is short, with minimal requirement for additional medical attention. These findings will aid in alleviating parental anxiety and encourage utilization of regular simple analgesia.

    Abstract The analysis of buried tunnel valleys in the North Sea can provide information about the past configuration and dynamics of the Scandinavian and British ice sheets and the processes by which sediment and meltwater were transported at the ice-sheet base. However, little is presently known about the distribution and characteristics of tunnel valleys in the Norwegian sector of the North Sea. Here we use an extensive database of 3D seismic and high-resolution magnetic data to map >2200 tunnel valleys in the Norwegian and British sectors of the North Sea between 56°N and 62°N. With the exception of the deep Norwegian Channel, in which evidence for tunnel valleys is absent, the geological setting of the North Sea is interpreted to have been conducive to tunnel-valley formation and preservation because of its poorly consolidated substrate and shallow water depths. The highest density of tunnel valleys is located in the central part of the North Sea where Quaternary sediments are thickest. The extreme length of some of the tunnel valleys, which are up to 155 km long, supports theories that tunnel valleys form in stages rather than catastrophically. Detailed analysis of the orientation of tunnel valleys and their relative age relationships within four representative subareas shows that tunnel-valley orientation varies significantly across the central and northern North Sea and between different generations of valleys. This suggests that the pattern of subglacial meltwater drainage in the central and northern North Sea was different between each deglacial event in which tunnel valleys were formed.

    Abstract The System-Wide Initiative on Water Management (SWIM) has defined its central theme and objective as ?enhancing the productivity of water and agriculture in an environment of growing scarcity and competition.? One program area of SWIM, namely SWIM 7, has the aim of improving the utilization of water resources from the catchment perspective. This paper has been prepared as part of the process of planning research that is to be undertaken by SWIM 7. The paper includes a historical review of research that has involved the use of catchment experiments and a discussion on hydrological modeling techniques. Options for improving water utilization at the catchment and farm scales are identified, and recommendations are made for research that might be undertaken by SWIM 7. The case is argued for interdisciplinary catchment studies that involve the participation of local communities and other stakeholders.
