How do general hospitals respond to patients diagnosed with a personality disorder who are distressed

Patients with a diagnosis of personality disorder are at risk of poor physical health outcomes and reduced life expectancy. To date, research in the area of personality disorder and physical health has mostly been epidemiological. There has been very little research on what happens when patients with a diagnosis of personality disorder are admitted to NHS general hospital wards. This PhD thesis aims to explain how general hospitals respond to patients diagnosed with a personality disorder who are distressed. An explanatory sequential design was used to integrate mixed methods data from: 1) a scoping review of the literature (n=10); 2a) a QUAN web-based survey of patients diagnosed with a personality disorder (n=65) and carers (n=5); 2b) embedded [QUAL] telephone interviews with patients diagnosed with a personality disorder (n=12); 3a) QUAN web-based survey of general hospital professionals (n=58); and 3b) QUAL telephone interviews with mental health liaison professionals (n=13). The primary data were analysed using QUAL framework analysis and QUAN descriptive statistics. The findings were integrated through mixed methods triangulation. This research identified that general hospitals respond iatrogenically to patients diagnosed with a personality disorder. Five themes were identified across the integrated data: Workforce, Service delivery, Service design, Organisational stress, and Adverse events. There were three overarching meta-themes: Systems and logistics, Structures, and Outcomes. An explanatory framework of the interrelationship between the themes and meta themes is proposed. Considerable efforts are required to reduce organisational stress and to ensure that patients with a diagnosis of personality disorder are not subject to adverse experiences in NHS general hospitals.
On Mouse Dynamics As Continuous User Authentication

: User authentication based on human behaviour through the pointing devices, such as mouse or touchpads are gaining attention. Mouse dynamics is an emerging behavioral biometric. Mouse dynamics address the user authentication problem by verifying the genuineness of a user on the basis of their mouse handling style. This paper proposed an efficient user authentication method based on mouse dynamics. In the proposed algorithm, prior registration of user is not required. It is designed for an open setting environment, where anyone can access the system. Information security is taken care by continuously monitoring the system without disturbing the user. One-Class Support Vector Machine (SVM) is used to differentiate the intruder’s characteristics from user.
Performance of Venture-Backed Firms in an Emerging Market Context

Entrepreneurs have trouble funding their businesses, from traditional finance sources. These entrepreneurs bring to the market innovative ideas and technical skills vital for firm success. Yet they may lack managerial advice and/or business expertise, which Venture capital (VC) firms are able to provide for them, along with funding. Nonetheless, not all VC-backed firms succeed. Therefore, an understanding of the determinants of success of these firms is crucial. This study contributes to the literature; by combining the characteristics of entrepreneurs and VC firms, and their relationship, to assess their impact on VC-backed firms’ performance. There is a sufficient amount of literature testing these determinants separately. However, studying them together as they co-exist in the market produces more reliable results. Additionally, emerging economies are still developing their VC markets, thus research on these markets is relatively recent. Hence, this study is timely and crucial, as it generate key insights to help leverage successful industries. This is achieved by combining two survey responses. One distributed to 14 VC firms in Egypt, and another to 79 of their portfolio firms. The research data is analysed using t-tests, ordinary least square regression and ordered probit regression. Supported by the Institutional Theory, the findings of this study emphasise the importance of entrepreneur networks in Egypt. As they have a positive and significant impact on performance of VC-backed firms. The resource-based capabilities of portfolio firms, matched to their firms’ strategies, have a significant impact on the performance of VC-backed firms. Finally, the VCE relationship shows that contracts have a significant negative impact on VCbacked firms’ performance. However, when legal environment factors are considered, their impact becomes insignificant. Instead, the strength of the VC-E relationship has a positive impact on sales growth. Hence, trust is more crucial than contracts, in weak legal environments. This study provides recommendations to entrepreneurs, VCs and policy makers in Egypt. Table of

CERE Working Paper, 2015:3 Energy Efficiency in Swedish Industry A Firm-level Data Envelopment Analysis

This paper assesses energy efficiency in Swedish industry. Using unique firm-level panel data covering the years 2001-2008, the efficiency estimates are obtained for firms in 14 industrial sectors by using data envelopment analysis (DEA). The analysis accounts for multi-output technologies where undesirable outputs are produced alongside with the desirable output. The results show that there was potential to improve energy efficiency in all the sectors and relatively large energy inefficiencies existed in small energy-use industries in the sample period. Also, we assess how the EU ETS, the carbon dioxide (CO2) tax and the energy tax affect energy efficiency by conducting a second-stage regression analysis. To obtain consistent estimates for the regression model, we apply a modified, input-oriented version of the double bootstrap procedure of Simar and Wilson (Journal of Econometrics 136(1):31-64, 2007). The results of the regression analysis reveal that the EU ETS and the CO2 tax did not have significant influences on energy efficiency in the sample period. However, the energy tax had a positive relation with the energy efficiency. JEL-classification: D22; D24; L60; Q41

Temporal size and maturity-stage distribution of Sagitta elegans and occurrence of other chaetognath species in Gullmarsfjorden, Sweden

Abstract Oblique and vertical plankton hauls were taken from May 1980 to December 1982. Sagitta elegans was the only chaetognath occurring abundantly throughout the investigation period. It had a one-year life-span and the breeding period (defined as the presence of stage-3 individuals) started at the end of March and ended in August. High spermatophore production was found in March 1981 and 1982 (including 99 and 86% of all mature individuals). Size distribution indicated little or no length growth during winter. A mean shrinkage in length of 6.3 % occurred when S. elegans was preserved in 4% formaldehyde. Sagitta setosa appeared during late summer and autumn. The high numbers in October and the temporal distribution of different maturity stages indicated a one-year life cycle and breeding mainly during autumn. From the occasional findings of Eukrohnia hamata no conclusions could be drawn as to whether this species was breeding in Gullmarsfjorden.
The Effect of Supportive Work Environment on Employee Retention at Malaysia Information, Communication, and Technology (ICT) Industry

The decreasing number of employee retention rate especially in the Information, Communication, and Technology (ICT) industry, either in local and global, cannot be exempted. Previous studies revealed that a supportive work environment is among the retainable factors. Thus, the purpose of this study examined the effect of supportive work environment on employee retention. There are three dominant predictors of a supportive work environment, namely organizational support, supervisory support, and job satisfaction that are hypothesized to have a positive and significant relationship with employee retention. A total of 257 questionnaires have distributed and 183 valid questionnaires have returned. The data collected are statistically analyzed and reported in descriptive statistics, frequency, Pearson correlation, and multiple regression analyses. The findings of the study confirmed that only supervisory support and job satisfaction, have a positive and significant relationship with employee retention. However, there is no significant relationship found between organizational support and employee retention among ICT employees.

NOTES Glycoprotein Tyrosine Phosphorylation inRousSarcoma Virus-Transformed Chicken EmbryoFibroblasts

srcmutants was examined inan effort toidentify cellular membraneproteins whosephosphorylation correlates withphenotypic transformation. Wehaveidentified twoglycoproteins, withmolecular massesof95and135kilodaltons, whose phosphorylation correlates withmorphological transformation, growth insoft agar,andan increase intherate of2-deoxyglucose uptake. Thestrong correlation obtained between transformation andphosphorylation of these proteins suggests thattheymay besubstrates forpp60 whichare important intheprocessof transformation. Elucidation ofthemechanism ofmalignant transformation bysrcandother tyrosine kinase-encoding oncogenes will require determination oftherole played bytyrosine-specific phosphorylation ofcellular proteins. However, this determination hasbeenhindered inlarge partbecause somany cellular proteins becometyrosine phosphorylated insrctransformed cells (12,18)thatithasnotbeenpossible to determine unambiguously whichprotein phosphorylations areimportant fortransformation. We previously described thepotential utility indistinguishing adventitious fromsignificant phosphorylations ofsrcmutants whichretain protein kinase activity butaredefective fortransformation (1). Using these srcmutants, wefound that although manyofthe phosphorylations seeninsrc-transformed cells appear tobe adventitious, there islikely tobemorethanonebiologically significant substrate forpp6Ovsr. Unfortunately, inthis earlier work,noneoftheprotein tyrosine phosphorylations detected couldbecorrelated unambiguously withtheappearance ofanyofthemeasured parameters oftransformation (2). Because srcmutantswhichdonotlocalize tocellular membranes donottransform cells (10), itiswidely believed thatatleast sometarget substrates ofpp64src whichare critical fortransformation aremembrane associated. Since manyproteins involved incell-cell interaction andtransmembranesignaling andtransport areglycoproteins, we haveexamined theeffects ofsrcexpression onthetyrosine phosphorylation state ofcellular glycoproteins isolated by wheatgermagglutinin (WGA)affinity chromatography (essentially asdescribed previously [7], except thattheprocedurewasperformed withspin columns). A similar approach wasusedbyMonteagudo etal. (20); however, onlywild-type src-transformed cell extracts wereexamined inthis earlier study, making itimpossible todetermine whether anyofthe tyrosine-phosphorylated glycoproteins observed weretransformation specific.
Cancer gene discovery and immunosurveillance studies using Sleeping Beauty mouse models

Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States. The majority of cases are caused by sporadic somatic mutation, which leads to cellular transformation over time. Therefore, cancer gene identification is a major focus of current research efforts. Understanding how key driver mutations result in cancer could lead to the design of better targeted therapies. The Sleeping Beauty (SB) transposon system can be used to identify driver mutations in a variety of tumor types. SB mutagenesis mimics the sporadic accumulation of somatic mutations found in spontaneous human cancers. This system also has an additional benefit over chemical carcinogenesis models in that key cancer gene candidates are easily identified with high-throughput sequencing and subsequent bioinformatic analysis. Using SB, our lab recently identified a novel oncogene involved in non-melanoma skin cancer called Zmiz1, the biological function of which is not well studied. A major focus of my thesis work was to characterize Zmiz1 and its role in skin cancer. This gene encodes a protein with predicted E3 SUMO ligase activity. My work has provided the first evidence firmly establishing an oncogenic role for Zmiz1 in cutaneous malignancy, thereby generating a novel transgenic mouse model of skin carcinogenesis. Importantly, we observed tumor-specific overexpression of an endogenous ZMIZ1 isoform in human squamous cell carcinomas. Non-melanoma skin cancer is the most common malignancy worldwide, and it disproportionally affects immunosuppressed patients. One proposed explanation for this is the concept of tumor immunosurveillance, whereby the
Modelling the Effects of Financial Services Advertising on Financial Product Purchase: An Empirical Validation

The main aim of the study is to find the effect of the financial advertisement on the respondent’s information selection, processing and analysing it while making the financial purchase decisions. The study identified the important factors that affect the investment decision-making process and explored them by using the exploratory factor analysis. The conceptual model has been tested using the AMOS SEM software. The factor analysis identified the four important factors that are affecting the financial decision-making, that is, financial literacy, celebrity endorsement, perceived reality and entertainment. The hypothesis testing reveals that advertisement, perceived reality and entertainment are affecting the information processing and financial decision-making process, whereas financial literacy and celebrity endorsement do not have significant effects on the financial product purchase. The results are useful for the advertisers, policy makers and the financial service providers so as to increase the sale of financial products by focusing on the variables extracted by the research.

A new species of Gilmaniella from the soil of Kuwait

In the course of investigations on the fungal flora of the salt-marsh soils of Kuwait, a Gilmaniella species was isolated twice in 1973. Its smooth vegetative mycelium and large conidia with relatively wide germ pores indicated that it is sufficiently different from the only known species in Gilmaniella, G. humicola Barron (1964), to warrant its description as a new species.
Efecto de Pochonia chlamydosporia var. catenulata (Goddard) Zare y Gams como endófito facultativo en frijol (Phaseolus vulgaris L.)

The aim of this work was to evaluate the effect of the strain IMI SD 187 of P. chlamydosporia var. catenulata as an endophyte on plant growth promotion of the black bean cv. ´Cuba Cueto 25-9´ (CC 25-9 N). Two experiments were carried out, in vitro and under greenhouse conditions. In vitro , the bean seeds were coated with a mixture of the fungal spores and clay at different doses: 1, 5, 10 and 15% respect to the total weight of the seeds. A negative control with only disinfected seeds and a positive control of seeds coated with the clay (15 %) were used. The germination associated parameters in each treatment were compared. In the greenhouse experiment, the application of the fungus was evaluated by coating the seeds, applying a fungal suspension to the substrate, or by combining them, taking into account the rhizosphere colonization by the strain and the plant growth on the soil: organic fertilizer (3:1 v/v ) substrate. The strain IMI SD 187 increased the in vitro germination parameters of the bean seeds, with a significant effect on hypocotyl length and fresh plant weight. High root colonization was achieved with two applications of the fungus, the endophytic root colonization was 16,67 % in 30 days and seed germination was advanced in two days. There was a tendency to increase the parameters number of trifoliate leaves, shoot length, fresh and dry plant weight, and fresh root weight, in different treatments with the fungus compared with the control treatment.
Wild plants eaten in childhood: A retrospective of Estonia in the 1970s-1990s

In this ethnobotanical study, the authors provide the first quantitative analysis of the use of wild edible plants in Estonia, describing the domains and assessing the food importance of different species. The information was collected using free-listing written questionnaires and concerned plants used by the respondents in their childhood. As part of a major study, this article covers the responses of professionals with some botanical education at vocational or university level, to ensure the greatest possible reliability without using voucher specimens. Fifty-eight respondents provided information on the use of 137 plant taxa, corresponding to approximately 6% of the native and naturalized vascular plants of Estonia. According to use frequency, the most typical wild food plant of Estonia is a fruit, eaten raw as a snack. The results clearly signal that the majority of famine and food shortage plants had already been forgotten by the end of the 20th century, but new plants have been introduced as green vegetables for making salads. Despite changes in the nomenclature of the plants, the use of wild food plants in Estonia was still thriving at the turn of the 20th century, covering many domains already forgotten in urbanized modern Europe. © 2013 The Linnean Society of London, Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society, 2013, 172, 239–253.
Difference in defense mechanism of two cassava cultivars to bacterial blight disease inferred by analysis of interspecies protein-protein interaction networks

Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz), is an important economic crop of the world and especially Thailand. One of the major problems resulting in its yield loss is cassava bacterial blight (CBB) disease caused by Xanthomonas axonopodis (XAM). Unfortunately, the basic knowledge of cultivar-specific defense mechanism is limited. Therefore, in this work protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks of two cassava cultivars; KU50 and AM560, and XAM were reconstructed using domain-domain interaction method (DDI) to study interactions between XAM and cassava. The PPIXAM-KU50 consisted of 24,509 interactions from 4,754 proteins while PPIXAM-AM560 contained 28,962 interactions from 6,153 proteins. The results demonstrated that XAM used different mechanisms to invade specific cassava cultivar. This study would enable us to comprehend the protein-protein relationship between bacterial pathogen and cassava.
