Abstract

As a major player in the global human economy, industry must play a prominent role in identifying and implementing practices that promote sustainable development. Within this context, the objective of this research has been to identify more sustainable options for one major traditional and highly resource-intensive sector of industry, the potable (alcoholic) spirits industry. To help identify those practices that would benefit the environment as a 'whole' and promote a more sustainable development of the industry, a system optimisation approach, combining Environmental Life Cyle Assessment (LCA) and Non-Linear Programming, has been used. This approach has been developed and applied to a real case study of a system producing Scotch whisky, representing the more traditional form of spirits production. It has been shown that there are few environmental benefits to be gained by implementing short-term process changes; instead, it is medium- to long-term changes that are required to effect major improvements. Guided by the precautionary principle embedded in the philosophy of sustainable development, 'six such options have been investigated. Furthermore, to determine which of the industry's products can deliver the equivalent 'social' function demanded of potable spirits in more environmentally-acceptable ways, two extreme ends of the industry have been compared: traditional whisky production and an alternative process utilising liquid whey, a waste material from dairy processing, to manufacture neutral spirit. It has been shown that with the current operations in the whisky system, the alternative system has significant environmental advantages over the traditional system. However, if the six improvement options are effected in the whisky system, then, in some respects, the more traditional system can be improved to be as good as, if not better, than the alternative type of system utilising waste materials. Finally, the wider social and economic consequences of introducing options to improve the environmental performance of this industry sector are identified and discussed.

Abstract

Background: Few studies have examined depression after a cancer diagnosis and before initiating adjuvant or neoadjuvant systemic treatments. In this study, we present baseline data on device‐measured physical activity, sedentary behaviour, depression, happiness, and satisfaction with life in newly diagnosed breast cancer survivors. Purpose: To examine associations of accelerometer‐assessed physical activity and sedentary time with depression symptoms and prevalence, happiness, and satisfaction with life. Methods: Shortly after diagnosis, 1425 participants completed depression, happiness, and satisfaction with life measures and wore an ActiGraph® device on their hip to measure physical activity and the activPALTM inclinometer on their thigh for 7 days to measure sedentary time (sitting/lying) and steps (1384 completed both device measures). ActiGraph® data were analysed using a hybrid machine learning method (R Sojourn package, Soj3x), and activPALTM data using activPALTM algorithms (PAL Software version 8). We used linear and logistic regression to examine associations of physical activity and sedentary time with depression symptom severity (0–27) and depression prevalence, happiness (0–100), and satisfaction with life (0–35). For the logistic regression analysis, we compared participants with none‐minimal depression (n = 895) to participants with some depression (that is, mild, moderate, moderately‐severe, or severe depression [n = 530]). Results: Participants reported a mean depression symptom severity score of 4.3 (SD = 4.1), a satisfaction with life score of 25.7 (SD = 7.2), and a happiness score of 70 (SD = 21.8). Higher moderate‐to‐vigorous physical activity (MVPA) was associated with reduced depression symptom severity scores (β = −0.51, 95% CI: −0.87 to −0.14, p = 0.007). A 1 hour increase in MVPA was associated with a reduced odds of at least mild or worse depression by 24% (Odds Ratio [OR] = 0.76, 95% CI: 0.62–0.94, p = 0.012). Higher daily step counts were associated with lower depression symptom severity scores (β = −0.16, 95% CI: −0.24 to −0.10, p < 0.001). Perceptions of happiness was associated with higher MVPA (β = 2.17, 95% CI: 0.17–4.17, p = 0.033). Sedentary time was not associated with depression severity, but higher sedentary time was associated with lower perceptions of happiness (β = −0.80, 95% CI: −1.48 to −0.11, p = 0.023). Conclusions: Higher physical activity was associated with fewer depression symptom severity scores and reduced odds of mild or worse depression in women newly diagnosed with breast cancer. Higher physical activity and daily step counts were also associated with stronger perceptions of happiness and satisfaction with life, respectively. Sedentary time was not associated with depression symptom severity or odds of having depression, but was associated with stronger perceptions of happiness. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Background: Decisions to participate in cancer trials are associated with uncertainty, distress, wanting to help find a cure, the hope for benefit, and altruism. There is a gap in the literature regarding research examining participation in prospective cohort studies. The aim of this study was to examine the experiences of newly diagnosed women with breast cancer participating in the AMBER Study to identify potential strategies to support patients' recruitment, retention, and motivation. Methods: Newly diagnosed breast cancer patients were recruited from the Alberta Moving Beyond Breast Cancer (AMBER) cohort study. Data were collected using semi-structured conversational interviews with 21 participants from February to May 2020. Transcripts were imported into NVivo software for management, organization, and coding. Inductive content analysis was undertaken. Results: Five main concepts associated with recruitment, retention, and motivation to participate were identified. These main concepts included: (1) personal interest in exercise and nutrition; (2) investment in individual results; (3) personal and professional interest in research; (4) burden of assessments; (5) importance of research staff. Conclusions: Breast cancer survivors participating in this prospective cohort study had numerous reasons for participating and these reasons could be considered in future studies to enhance participant recruitment and retention. Improving recruitment and retention in prospective cancer cohort studies could result in more valid and generalizable study findings that could improve the care of cancer survivors.

Abstract

Cover cropping and diversifying corn-soybean rotation by including a wheat crop is recommended as a best management practice for promoting soil ecosystem services but can affect water use efficiency (WUE). Water can be the most limiting resource in agriculture, and predictions are for precipitation patterns to become affected by climate change. To measure the impact of crop rotation and climate change on evapotranspiration, yield, and WUE, direct measurements of the water budget are required, which are best done with high precision weighing lysimeter. This thesis is a study of the short-term impact of diversification and warming on evapotranspiration, yield, and WUE. Soybean yields were 19% higher, and growing season evapotranspiration was 14% higher after 3 years of crop rotation diversification, but WUE was not significantly affected. Winter warming caused a 14% and 19% reduction in corn and soybean yields, and a 12% reduction in soybean WUE. Ontario Soil and Crop Improvement Association

Abstract

Background: This study examined associations of device‐measured physical activity and sedentary time with quality of life (QOL) and fatigue in newly diagnosed breast cancer patients in the Alberta Moving Beyond Breast Cancer (AMBER) cohort study. Methods: After diagnosis, 1409 participants completed the SF‐36 version 2 and the Fatigue Scale, wore an ActiGraph device on their right hip to measure physical activity, and an activPAL device on their thigh to measure sedentary time (sitting/lying) and steps. ActiGraph data was analyzed using a hybrid machine learning method (R Sojourn package, Soj3x) and activPAL data were analyzed using activPAL algorithms (PAL Software version 8). Quantile regression was used to examine cross‐sectional associations of QOL and fatigue with steps, physical activity, and sedentary hours at the 25th, 50th, and 75th percentiles of the QOL and fatigue distributions. Results: Total daily moderate and vigorous physical activity (MVPA) hours was positively associated with better physical QOL at the 25th (β = 2.14, p = <.001), 50th (β = 1.98, p = <.001), and 75th percentiles (β = 1.25, p =.003); better mental QOL at the 25th (β = 1.73, p =.05) and 50th percentiles (β = 1.07, p =.03); and less fatigue at the 25th (β = 4.44, p <.001), 50th (β = 3.08, p = <.001), and 75th percentiles (β = 1.51, p = <.001). Similar patterns of associations were observed for daily steps. Total sedentary hours was associated with worse fatigue at the 25th (β = −0.58, p =.05), 50th (β = −0.39, p =.06), and 75th percentiles (β = −0.24, p =.02). Sedentary hours were not associated with physical or mental QOL. Conclusions: MVPA and steps were associated with better physical and mental QOL and less fatigue in newly diagnosed breast cancer patients. Higher sedentary time was associated with greater fatigue symptoms. Consistent and significant associations emerged between device‐measured physical activity, quality of life, and fatigue outcomes in this large cohort of newly diagnosed breast cancer patients. These results may be used to inform clinical practice and policies about incorporating physical activity and reducing sedentary time as adjuvant therapy for newly diagnosed breast cancer patients starting treatment.
