Abstract This paper examines the potential for PV to improve the performance of primary schools in London. Disaggregate data including energy use is compared with modelled PV generation, showing that electricity demand could theoretically be met in 59% of the schools investigated. The impact of several key factors is then considered, including architectural heritage, building age and form. The results show that the greatest PV potential exists in newer schools, as well as those that are shorter and with less dense forms.

Clinical Advances

Significant advances in the management of cystic fibrosis (CF) in recent decades have dramatically changed the epidemiology and prognosis of this serious disease, which is no longer an exclusively pediatric disease. This paper aims to review the changes in the incidence and survival of CF and to assess the impact of the discovery of the responsible gene (the CFTR gene) on these changes. The incidence of CF appears to be decreasing in most countries and patient survival, which can be monitored by various indicators, has improved substantially, with an estimated median age of survival of approximately50 years today. Cloning of the CFTR gene 30 years ago and efforts to identify its many mutations have greatly improved the management of CF. Implementation of genetic screening policies has enabled earlier diagnosis (via newborn screening), in addition to prevention within families or in the general population in some areas (via prenatal diagnosis, family testing or population carrier screening). In the past decade, in-depth knowledge of the molecular bases of CF has also enabled the emergence of CFTR modulator therapies which have led to major clinical advances in the treatment of CF. All of these phenomena have contributed to changing the face of CF. The advent of targeted therapies has paved the way for precision medicine and is expected to further improve survival in the coming years.

The Impact

The nature of motherhood and maternalism in Africa challenges perceptions and assumptions about women, families, and societies in unexpected ways. Across Africa, motherhood has operated as an institution and ideology that shaped social, economic, and political organization, especially before European colonialism expanded across the continent during the late 19th century. The sociocultural significance of biological motherhood and childrearing remains an important theme in the study of the past and the present as African women form families, sometimes outside of the bonds of marriage. Ideas about biological motherhood have also shifted to address health, disease, and sexuality. African women and men are reimagining motherhood in the face of diverse issues such as infertility, the impact of HIV/AIDS, and an emergent, self-identified LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer) community. Similarly, maternalism in Africa extends beyond the common focus on issues such as women’s rights, reproductive health, or children’s education. Maternalist politics in Africa in the 20th and 21st centuries have addressed broader political questions such as state policies, housing, and infrastructure, often with an internationalist vision. Taken together, motherhood and maternalism in Africa not only encompass personal and emotional realms often associated with both terms but also bridge historical and political questions, including ones about belonging and citizenship in an interconnected world.

An increasing number of non-endemic vectorborne pathogens have been described in dogs imported to the UK in the past two decades. Recently, an outbreak of canine babesiosis in south-east England has raised veterinary awareness with regard to the impact of such diseases on the UK canine population. Canine hepatozoonosis, caused by Hepatozoon canis and transmitted by the ingestion of Rhipicephalus sanguineus ticks, is widespread in the Mediterranean basin. Herein we describe the first three molecularly confirmed clinical cases of canine hepatozoonosis in dogs imported into the UK. Veterinarians in the UK should be aware of H canis as a potential infection in imported dogs, especially in the face of the expanding distribution of R sanguineus ticks in Europe.

Title: Empowerment of Locality and Creativity: The Effect towards Bandung Creative City As modernity with all rigidity and practically increasingly creeping, the locality was still elegant with its charm. Localities seems to be a special allure which become healer of longing of the past. Everything related to tradition inspires architects and city planners. Creative design certainly has allure for residents, local and non local tourists. Bandung is the city wellknown as Paris Van Java, which has consequence to the arrangement of the infrastucture and face of the city with strong identity of exquisite Sundanese culture. These opportunities would require creativity which offer uniqueness and special identity of Bandung. The study of city arrangement, planning stategy towards creative city, and sustainable strategy would be essential to realize the Bandung Creative City. The study was conducted by observing Bandung infrastucture at some central points in the heritage building until face of the city, and how the goverment‘s strategy to overcome this problem, related to creativity. The result shows that efforts to Bandung Creative City is done through empowerment of ?creative economy‘ in fashion, culinary, and design decorate city faces up to hilly region. Creative city allows the achivement of community prosperity and economically independence. Furthermore, through ?Bandung Creative City‘ program, the impact is not only to the creative city but also to a ‘smart city‘ which is done the following strategies: innovation, decentralization, and collaboration.

The Traditional Medina of Tunis is a historical city center holding a remarkable architectural and cultural heritage which is a mixture of several civilizations and traces of different era. One of the most remarkable architectural traces is left by the Ottomans. The Ottoman architectural monuments left in the Medina of Tunis are reflecting a resistance in the face of gentrification.This research aims to describe the impact of modern art events and their induced hybrid representations on the Ottoman architectural heritage of the Medina of Tunis. Despite the structural changes left by commercialism, the centuries old infrastructures still possess an outlook of an authentic historical space embracing several civilizations. A qualitative research method has been chosen to achieve the goal. In the first part of this study, a brief history and an overview about the urban context of the Medina of Tunis is given. Subsequently the existing Ottoman architecture in the Medina of Tunis and the ways it has affected the existing urban atmosphere is reflected upon. To highlight the interaction of Ottoman architectural heritage and modernity, two contemporary art events are commented upon as an observation cases. The events are ‘Interference’ and ‘Dream city’ and they are held annually in the Medina of Tunis.It is concluded that modern art events are becoming a tool to express the community’s ‘psyche’ of culture. Events like ‘Interference’ are nurturing a crosscultural interaction of identities, where virtual simulations are shaping new experiences inside spiritual city walls of Medina and leading to highlight the imminent presence of Ottoman architectural heritage in this historical city center.

The increased presence and visibility of Muslims in America in the past century means that Islam is no longer to be characterized as a Middle Eastern or South Asian phenomenon. Given the fact that it is the fastest growing religion in America, Islam is now a very American phenomenon. The face of American Islam has changed dramatically especially after the events of September 11, 2001. This article will examine the impact that recent events have had on the American Muslim community and will focus on increasing political engagement by members of the community. It will examine the political experience of American Muslims and will discuss how community members have come together to try to change the American political landscape.

Emotional anger is an urgent and has an essential role in living human life, besides he is also praiseworthy as well as the nature and attitude to watch out for, because anger is also the most active role in things that are self-preservation, family, and other social communities. Anger emotions arise as a result of feelings of displeasure with people other than themselves, or certain objects that are closely related to the personality and inner experience experienced by someone. In the Qur'an the expression "human emotion" is very closely related to human behavior personally related to information aspects of the past, present or future. In the Koran no less than 13 times in the form of unequal derivatives, where anger is depicted and seen in human attitudes and behaviors that sometimes appear on the face, can be detected in verbal and nonverbal forms, angry with fa'ali, angry with the qalb fil , angry in terms of quelling evil and angry in terms of human expectations that are not achieved.Humans are required to know and minimize the nature of anger because of the impact it has on the lives of human beings both psychologically, sociologically and psychologically. But through the media remember Allah Almighty, through purification media with the nature of Husn al-zhan, patience, gratitude, forgiveness is a solution in controlling human angry emotions

Do So

Pharmacogenetics is widely proclaimed as about to revolutionise the face of medicine. In a more realistic assessment, the implementation of molecular genetics and biology will continue to provide, as it has done already, better ways to diagnose and treat illnesses, but it will do so at a steady and evolutionary pace based on an improved understanding of the nature of disease, allowing more specific treatments, better risk prediction, and the implementation of preventive strategies. As such, future progress in biomedicine will travel the same well-trodden paths of improved differential diagnosis and risk prediction along which it has advanced over the past decades and centuries. So, while meaningful biomedical research today depends, by and large, on the use of the newly developed tools of genetics and genomics, and the insights gained through them, it is unlikely to fundamentally change the direction of medical progress.

The Impact

A major application of potentiometric dyes has been the multisite optical recording of electrical activity in excitable systems. After being championed by L.B. Cohen and his colleagues for the past 20 years, the impact of this technology is rapidly being felt and is spreading to an increasing number of neuroscience laboratories. A second class of experiments involves using dyes to image membrane potential distributions in single cells by digital imaging microscopy - a major focus of this lab. These studies usually do not require the temporal resolution of multisite optical recording, being primarily focussed on slow cell biological processes, and therefore can achieve much higher spatial resolution. We have developed 2 methods for quantitative imaging of membrane potential. One method uses dual wavelength imaging of membrane-staining dyes and the other uses quantitative 3D imaging of a fluorescent lipophilic cation; the dyes used in each case were synthesized for this purpose in this laboratory.
