Tissue engineered braided hybrid fiber scaffold for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction
No full textThe knee joint is the largest and most complex joint in the human body. Its stability is largely dependent on the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), a dense fibrous connective tissue that attaches the femur to the tibia. Under high tensile and torsional forces the ACL will tear and does not heal without surgical intervention. This is due to the low blood supply and ligament retraction from the synovial tissue that envelops a tear. We explored the potential of a novel ACL reconstructive device composed of a hybrid poly(desaminotyrosyl-tyrosine dodecyl dodecanedioate)(12,10) [p(DTD DD)] and type I bovine collagen fiber scaffold as an alternative to current autograft and allografts techniques. The three phase process initially tested the fabrication and characterization of p(DTD DD) fibers and compared them to poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA), a common biomaterial. Data suggested that p(DTD DD) fibers, with their higher strength, lower stiffness, favorable degradation products and comparable cell compatibility, may be a superior alternative to PLLA fibers for development of an ACL reconstructive device. The second phase tested electron beam (E-beam) sterilized hybrid scaffolds composed of parallel 75% p(DTD DD) and 25% collagen fibers. Hybrid scaffolds were implanted for up to 4 weeks in the ACL space of New Zealand White (NZW) rabbits. At 4 weeks there was far more cell infiltration, vascular tissue and granuloma. Inflammatory cells were concentrated on the outer part of the scaffold, which is the natural repair reaction to surgery and not the implant. The third phase used a similar scaffold in a braided configuration, a larger sheep model and a longer 12 week time point. Analysis showed an increase in the amount of cellular infiltration and vascular tissue after 12 weeks. There was a decrease in the amount of eosinophils and no change in the number of multi nucleated giant cells after 12 weeks. Cellular infiltration was apparent at the center of the scaffold, which suggests that spacing between fibers is large enough to allow cells to migrate freely throughout the scaffold. Data suggests there is a definite potential in using a braided hybrid fiber scaffold composed of p(DTD DD) and Collagen as an ACL reconstructive device.Ph.D.Includes bibliographical references (p. 102-113)by Nicky Tova
A Tear by Nicky Manuputty: a Review of Alto Saxophone Playing Techniques and the Meaning of the Work
No full textA TEAR is a work of Nicky Manupputty who is a Saxophonist. The uniqueness of this song is that Nicky Manuputty uses a distinctive and different tounging. He has his own characteristics in playing saxophone in this work, namely tounging techniques resembling 'del-del' and resembling 'ta-ya' tounging. Therefore, the author is interested in researching the work A TEAR. The author found the technique of combining 'del-del' and 'ta-ya' tounging. The technique is the "dah-ya" tounging technique. In the 'dah-ya' technique, the author finds a tounging sound that is almost the same as that used by Nicky Mannuputty. The method used is descriptive qualitative method, by collecting data through youtube (https://youtu.be/76KrrEAQUek ), observation, literature study, articles/journals and documentation. The meaning of A TEAR is an expression of sadness. The results of this study are: 1) Showing the work of A TEAR live. 2) Introducing the works of Indonesian composers. 3) Knowing the techniques used by Nicky in his work, and the meaning of the work A TEAR

Interview with Prof. Nicky Gregson
No full textInternational audienceNicky Gregson is Emeritus Professor of Human Geography at Durham University, specializing in waste, consumption and the wider implications of waste management. Her recent book, “The Waste of the World”, published by Bristol University Press in May 2023, is the result of several years’ researches and offers an in-depth examination of the global waste problem. In particular, the book explores the root causes of waste, questions existing policies and proposes a systemic approach to waste, notably through the prism of consumption practices shaped by the capitalist economy. Her academic research has made Nicky Gregson a leading voice on the subject, and we are pleased that she shares here perspectives on the “urban mine” discussed in this thematic dossier
‘Jasmin, Ryde, Isle of Wight, July 2000 – January 2001’ from Tracing Echoes (2001), in Seduced by Art: Photography Past and Present.
No full text'The exhibition explores early photography from the mid-19th century and the most exciting contemporary photographs, alongside historical painting. It takes a provocative look at how photographers use fine art traditions, including Old Master painting, to explore and justify the possibilities of their art.'

Nicky and Adam go on holiday: an approach to cancer education
No full textDescribes the development of Nicky and Adam Go on Holiday, a teaching pack commissioned by the Southampton and South West Hampshire Health Authority and created while the author was on a one‐day‐a‐week secondment to the advisory team for personal and social education (health). The pack deals with cancer education and is designed to be used with secondary pupils as a term’s module. It focuses, in a covert manner, on skin, breast, cervical and testicular cancer, and the information is presented in the style of a romantic teenage story. Summarizes the research and final materials and explains the aims and rationale of the pack. The pack utilizes a range of active learning techniques based on the fictitious activities and needs of the four young protagonists. It was piloted in two Southampton secondary schools, which reported positive responses from pupils and staff and it is now available on request. </jats:p
Beneath the Surface / Hidden Place, 2007-2010
No full textThis photographic project (2007-10) investigated the physical and emotional effects of economic change and regeneration. This involved close collaboration with individuals and communities across Scotland whose surroundings have undergone significant upheaval - whether caused by a decline in heavy industry, or housing regeneration. The resulting body of work consisted of 26 digital montages, which deployed two kinds of photographic language in articulating change to place: the family snap, and a contemporary landscape photograph. The contribution to knowledge is embodied, in the first instance, within these images. Location photography was completed by 2009; the touring exhibition produced in 2008 with new works added 2009-10. The 2008 exhibition consisted of 17 87 x 57cm prints, framed, unglazed; 7 57 x 35cm prints, framed, unglazed; 2 tables 2ml x 1mw x 77cmh with painted wooden tops of redrawn maps, family photographs and contact strips under glass.
A publication was realized in 2010: fully illustrated, with an interview with the artist-author which discussed the project’s processes and conceptual concerns; an essay on Commemoration and Loss by Ray McKenzie; reproductions of selected exhibition images in addition to previously unseen images; also responses from three collaborators reflecting on their experience of the project. Dissemination of the project, its contribution to knowledge and the critical questions that emerged from a specific practice experience was realized through a series of key conferences (2009-2013). For example, ‘regeneration’ indicates a loaded territory; add to this, family photographs with their relationship to personal histories whose physical traces are on the brink of erasure: and recent critiques that interrogate the trend in contemporary art photography depicting places in terms of sublime dereliction
