description: Objective: To provide a review of prediction models that have been used to measure clinical or pathological progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Design: Scoping review. Data sources: Medline, EMBASE, CINAHL and Scopus from the year 2011 to 17th February 2022. Study selection: All English written studies that are published in peer-reviewed journals in any country, that developed at least a statistical or computational model that predicted the risk of CKD progression. Data extraction: Eligible studies for full text review were assessed on the methods that were used to predict the progression of CKD. The type of information extracted included: the author(s), title of article, year of publication, study dates, study location, number of participants, study design, predicted outcomes, type of prediction model, prediction variables used, validation assessment, limitations and implications. Results: From 516 studies, 33 were included for full-text review. A qualitative analysis of the articles was compared following the extracted information. The study populations across the studies were heterogenous and data acquired by the studies were sourced from different levels and locations of healthcare systems. 31 studies implemented supervised models, and 2 studies included unsupervised models. Regardless of the model used, the predicted outcome included measurement of risk of progression towards end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) of related definitions, over given time intervals. However, there is a lack of reporting consistency on details of the development of their prediction models. Conclusions: Researchers are working towards producing an effective model to provide key insights into the progression of CKD. This review found that cox regression modelling was predominantly used among the small number of studies in the review. This made it difficult to perform a comparison between ML algorithms, more so when different validation methods were used in different cohort types. There needs to be increased investment in a more consistent and reproducible approach for future studies looking to develop risk prediction models for CKD progression.
Descript-SQL : Enriched Database Descriptions in Text-to-SQL
Creators: name: Stenback, Soren
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2025

description: Text-to-SQL research has developed over several years to make use of Large Language Models (LLMs). One avenue of research is to create models that prompt an existing LLM such as ChatGPT and provide specific context that will assist the LLM in generating correct SQL queries based on a provided database schema and a text question. However, there are certain functions or techniques that do not assist the LLM and reduce the accuracy of the model. Researchers must determine which techniques are beneficial and which are detrimental to improving an LLM for text-to-SQL. The focus of this thesis is to assess an existing model called E-SQL and attempt to apply improvements through generative database descriptions to increase the accuracy of the model. Additional discoveries through testing are presented.
ECA Rules in EmbedDB : Enabling Lightweight, Event-Driven Decision Making for Resource-Constrained Devices
Creators: name: Richards, MacKenzie E.
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2025

description: Resource-constrained Internet of Things (IoT) and edge devices require autonomous, real-time decision-making capabilities without relying on cloud systems or energy-intensive polling. This thesis introduces event-condition-action (ECA) rule support in EmbedDB, transforming it into an active database system that executes reactive queries with minimal latency and memory overhead. We present a lightweight API for defining ECA rules that trigger on data insertion, enabling devices to evaluate conditions (e.g., sliding-window aggregates) and execute actions (e.g., alerts or actuation) entirely on-device. Our implementation maintains EmbedDB’s efficiency, operating in under 4 KB of RAM, while adding active capabilities. Benchmarks show that EmbedDB processes ECA rules in 49µs per insert, outperforming InfluxDB/Kapacitor by over 200 times in end-to-end latency.

description: Introduction: Consistent with international promulgation on the criminalization of filicide, Ghana’s Children’s Act 1998 (560) and the Criminal Justice Act criminalizes any form of torture against children. Yet, perpetrators of filicide in Ghana may go unpunished due to the beliefs in cultural norms that justify filicide acts. The cultural narratives of filicide can impede on the application and effectiveness of the laws of filicide. Method: The study employed a vignette approach to explore the views of 19 adults, who were parents between 69 years of age and 30 years of age, in rural and urban Ghana on the laws of filicide in Ghana and filicide intervention measures. The interviewees were provided with narratives on two different vignettes (developed based on real life cases), followed by semi-structured questions to probe the narratives. The interviews were analyzed following Fraser’s narrative thematic analysis procedure. Results: The study identifies the association between cultural beliefs and the communities’ understanding of the concept of filicide. Though community members are aware of the criminalization of filicide acts, the majority of them were not informed about the laws against filicide in Ghana. Addressing filicide cases within the community was the most preferred option for the participants, as they believe that some children, termed “spirit children” (SC), deserve to be killed. Resorting to spiritual intervention from concoction men emerged as the normative pathway to obtain community approval for filicide. Police interventions were considered necessary in non-spiritual related filicides. Community members were only prepared to cooperate with the law in filicide cases if the filicide act has no connection with spirituality. Conclusion: The study adds to understanding of the concept of filicide outside western societies. The importance of intensive community campaigns against filicide acts, and norms that support filicide acts, has relevance for all counties.

description: To achieve herd immunity to a disease, a large portion of the population needs to be vaccinated, which is possible only when there is broad acceptance of the vaccine within the community. Thus, policymakers need to understand how the general public will perceive the vaccine. This study focused on the degree of COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy and refusal and explored sociodemographic correlations that influence vaccine hesitancy and refusal. A cross-sectional online survey was conducted among the adult population of India. The survey consisted of basic demographic questions and questions from the Vaccination Attitudes Examination (VAX) Scale. Multinomial logistical regression was used to identify correlates of vaccine hesitancy and refusal. Of the 1582 people in the study, 9% refused to become vaccinated and 30.8% were hesitant. We found that both hesitancy and refusal predictors were nearly identical (lower socioeconomic status, female gender, and older age groups), except for three groups (subjects aged 45–64 years, those with approximate income <10,000 INR/month, and those residing in rural households) that showed slightly higher odds of vaccine hesitancy than refusal. We need to address the underlying sociodemographic determinants and formulate public awareness programs to address specific subgroups that are at higher risk of rejecting the vaccine and convert those who are undecided or hesitant into those willing to accept the vaccine.

description: Many venomous animals express toxins that show extraordinary levels of variation both within and among species. In snakes, most studies of venom variation focus on front-fanged species in the families Viperidae and Elapidae, even though rear-fanged snakes in other families vary along the same ecological axes important to venom evolution. Here we characterized venom gland transcriptomes from 19 snakes across two dipsadine rear-fanged genera (Leptodeira and Helicops, Colubridae) and two front-fanged genera (Bothrops, Viperidae; Micrurus, Elapidae). We compared patterns of composition, variation, and diversity in venom transcripts within and among all four genera. Venom gland transcriptomes of rear-fanged Helicops and Leptodeira and front-fanged Micrurus are each dominated by expression of single toxin families (C-type lectins, snake venom metalloproteinase, and phospholipase A2, respectively), unlike highly diverse front-fanged Bothrops venoms. In addition, expression patterns of congeners are much more similar to each other than they are to species from other genera. These results illustrate the repeatability of simple venom profiles in rear-fanged snakes and the potential for relatively constrained venom composition within genera.

description: This research examines representations of nationalism in Syrian television drama and how they shape the national identities of Syrians living in Qatar during the current Syrian crisis. The Syrian national crisis has affected both the industry of TV drama production as well as the Syrian people across the world. This research provides an opportunity to explore nationalism in cultural production and its reception in a transnational setting, during a time of rampant violence and uncertainty about the future of the nation. After analyzing the content of two famous Syrian dramas produced after the uprising (Bāb al-hāra 7 and Al-hqā'ib), particularly focusing on the political representations and commentary they articulate, this research explores how Syrian viewers in Qatar decode the representations they see on TV on the basis of interviews, focus groups, and participant observation. These observations as well as the viewers’ responses are then used to understand more about the reconfiguration of Syrian identities in a diasporic context like Qatar’s. National identity in this research is discussed in relation to loyalty, migration, unity, sectarianism, and cultural heritage that shape the social and political lives of the viewers.

description: Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) is a prevalent and endemic swine pathogen which causes significant economic losses in the global swine industry. Multiple vaccines have been developed to prevent PRRSV infection. However, they provide limited protection. Moreover, no effective therapeutic drugs are yet available. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop novel antiviral strategies to prevent PRRSV infection and transmission. Here we report that Toosendanin (TSN), a tetracyclic triterpene found in the bark or fruits of Melia toosendan Sieb. et Zucc., strongly suppressed type 2 PRRSV replication in vitro in Marc-145 cells and ex vivo in primary porcine alveolar macrophages (PAMs) at sub-micromolar concentrations. The results of transcriptomics revealed that TSN up-regulated the expression of IFI16 in Marc-145 cells. Furthermore, we found that IFI16 silencing enhanced the replication of PRRSV in Marc-145 cells and that the anti-PRRSV activity of TSN was dampened by IFI16 silencing, suggesting that the inhibition of TSN against PRRSV replication is IFI16-dependent. In addition, we showed that TSN activated caspase-1 and induced maturation of IL-1β in an IFI16-dependent pathway. To verify the role of IL-1β in PRRSV infection, we analyzed the effect of exogenous rmIL-1β on PRRSV replication, and the results showed that exogenous IL-1β significantly inhibited PRRSV replication in Marc-145 cells and PAMs in a dose-dependent manner. Altogether, our findings indicate that TSN significantly inhibits PRRSV replication at very low concentrations (EC50: 0.16-0.20 μM) and may provide opportunities for developing novel anti-PRRSV agents.

description: (1) Background: Excess weight in the form of adiposity plays a key role in the pathogenesis of cardiometabolic diseases. Lifestyle modifications that incorporate continuous energy restriction (CER) are effective at inducing weight loss and reductions in adiposity; however, prescribing daily CER results in poor long-term adherence. Over the past decade, intermittent fasting (IF) has emerged as a promising alternative to CER that may promote increased compliance and/or improvements in cardiometabolic health parameters independent of weight loss. (2) Methods: This paper presents a secondary analysis of data from a 12-week intervention investigating the effects of a twice-weekly fast (5:2 IF; IFT group) and CER (CERT group) when combined with resistance exercise in 34 healthy participants (17 males and 17 females, mean BMI: 27.0 kg/m2, mean age: 23.9 years). Specifically, changes in cardiometabolic blood markers and ratings of hunger, mood, energy and compliance within and between groups were analysed. Dietary prescriptions were hypoenergetic and matched for energy and protein intake. (3) Results: Both dietary groups experienced reductions in total cholesterol (TC; mean reduction, 7.8%; p < 0.001), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C; mean reduction, 11.1%; p < 0.001) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (mean reduction 2.6%, p = 0.049) over the 12 weeks. Reductions in TC and LDL-C were greater in the IFT group after adjustment for baseline levels and change in weight. No significant changes in markers of glucose regulation were observed. Both groups maintained high levels of dietary compliance (~80%) and reported low levels of hunger over the course of the intervention period. (4) Conclusions: Secondary data analysis revealed that when combined with resistance training, both dietary patterns improved blood lipids, with greater reductions observed in the IFT group. High levels of compliance and low reported levels of hunger throughout the intervention period suggest both diets are well tolerated in the short-to-medium term.

description: Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI) promises groundbreaking automation technology - a potential which may raise the management of variability-intensive software systems to a new level of automation. Several activities in maintaining variability-intensive software systems, such as extracting feature traces to updating features consistently, are repetitive and performed mainly manually or semi-automatically. Exploiting the potentials of GAI in maintaining variability-intensive software systems opens a fundamentally new research perspective, where GAI shall solve repetitive and hard-to-automate tasks. In this vision paper, we propose and discuss increasing levels of maintaining variability-intensive software systems automatically enabled through the support of GAI. We sketch actions necessary to reach the next levels of automation while discussing the current state-of-the-art.

description: Video and music as a dissociative attention stimulus during exercise is known to distract from the discomfort of physical exertion and improve exercise adherence; however, the influence of video-based feedback and engagement during pedalling on the performance and motivation of pedalling in stroke patients is poorly understood. The aim of this study was to employ a novel video-based engagement paradigm for pedalling in stroke patients and evaluate its capacity to influence the cadence control, physiological output, and perceived motivation and enjoyment. Thirteen stroke patients were recruited with low-to-moderate lower-limb disability (mean age: 64.0 yrs.). A reference group of 18 healthy young adult subjects (mean age: 27.7 yrs.) was also recruited to assess the broad applicability of the techniques to a contrasting non-pathological cohort. The participants pedalled at a slow (60 RPM) and fast (100 RPM) target speed with constant resistance in 15 min pedalling bouts that included (i) baseline pedalling with real-time visual feedback of cadence deviation from the target provided only in the first 20 s (ii) real-time visual feedback of cadence data over the entire pedalling session, and (iii) real-time engagement to maintain the playback rate of a prerecorded video by pedalling at the target speed. During low speed pedalling, stroke patients demonstrated significantly smaller absolute cadence deviation during pedalling with feedback (mean difference: 1.8 RPM, p = 0.014) and video-based engagement (mean difference: 2.4 RPM, p = 0.006) compared to the baseline pedalling. For the healthy adults, feedback and video-based engagement reduced cadence deviation significantly at all speeds (p < 0.05). All but one stroke patient either enjoyed or really enjoyed the video engagement during pedalling and felt motivated to undertake this form of exercise in therapy in the future. This proof-of-concept study showed that feedback and video-based engagement may improve the targeted pedalling performance in stroke patients, and by helping dissociate subjects from physical cues associated with fatigue, may ultimately improve exercise motivation and compliance.

Feature-Model Analysis

description: Developers of configurable software use the concept of selecting and deselecting features to create different variants of a software product. In this context, one of the most challenging aspects is to identify unwanted interactions between those features. Due to the combinatorial explosion of the number of potentially interacting features, it is currently an open question how to systematically identify a particular feature interaction that causes a specific fault in a set of software products. In this paper, we propose an incremen- tal approach to identify such 𝑡-wise feature interactions based on testing additional configurations in a black-box setting. We present the algorithm Inciident, which generates and selects new configura- tions based on a divide-and-conquer strategy to efficiently identify the feature interaction with a preferably minimal number of con- figurations. We evaluate our approach by considering simulated and real interactions of different sizes for 48 real-world feature models. Our results show that on average, Inciident requires 80 % less configurations to identify an interaction than using randomly selected configurations.

Italy and George Gissing: A Geocritical Approach

description: Victorian novelist George Gissing (1857-1903) was a devotee of ancient Roman culture and visited Italy three times between 1888 and 1897. In spite of this admiration, his relationship with Italy was problematic, largely due to personal mishaps. In light of these conflicting views, my essay considers Gissing’s portrayals of mostly Southern Italian locations through his fiction, letters, and travelogues. The focus lies here not so much on the narrator but on the narrated space, with Bertrand Westphal’s notion of “geocriticism” at its theoretical core. Far from being a utopian haven, Gissing’s Italy emerges as a trans-cultural meeting point where the perception of an “interiorised place” can reshape reality, alter horizons, and redefine established values.

description: Background: Community-based doulas share the same cultural, linguistic, ethnic backgrounds or social experiences as the women they support. Community-based doulas may be able to bridge gaps for migrant and refugee women in maternity settings in high-income countries (HICs). The aim of this review was to explore key stakeholders' perceptions and experiences of community-based doula programmes for migrant and refugee women during labour and birth in HICs, and identify factors affecting implementation and sustainability of such programmes. Methods: We conducted a mixed-method systematic review, searching MEDLINE, CINAHL, Web of Science, Embase and grey literature databases from inception to 20th January 2022. Primary qualitative, quantitative and mixed-methods studies focusing on stakeholders' perspectives and experiences of community-based doula support during labour and birth in any HIC and any type of health facility were eligible for inclusion. We used a narrative synthesis approach to analysis and GRADE-CERQual approach to assess confidence in qualitative findings. Results: Twelve included studies were from four countries (USA, Sweden, England and Australia). There were 26 findings categorised under three domains: (1) community-based doulas' role in increasing capacity of existing maternity services; (2) impact on migrant and refugee women's experiences and health; and (3) factors associated with implementing and sustaining a community-based doula programme. Conclusion: Community-based doula programmes can provide culturally-responsive care to migrant and refugee women in HICs. These findings can inform community-based doula organisations, maternity healthcare services and policymakers. Further exploration of the factors that impact programme implementation, sustainability, strategic partnership potential and possible wider-reaching benefits is needed.

description: Invertebrates constitute the majority of animal species and are critical for ecosystem functioning and services. Nonetheless, global invertebrate biodiversity patterns and their congruences with vertebrates remain largely unknown. We resolve the first high-resolution (∼20-km) global diversity map for a major invertebrate clade, ants, using biodiversity informatics, range modeling, and machine learning to synthesize existing knowledge and predict the distribution of undiscovered diversity. We find that ants and different vertebrate groups have distinct features in their patterns of richness and rarity, underscoring the need to consider a diversity of taxa in conservation. However, despite their phylogenetic and physiological divergence, ant distributions are not highly anomalous relative to variation among vertebrate clades. Furthermore, our models predict that rarity centers largely overlap (78%), suggesting that general forces shape endemism patterns across taxa. This raises confidence that conservation of areas important for small-ranged vertebrates will benefit invertebrates while providing a "treasure map" to guide future discovery.
Understanding Consumer Preferences for Vertical Farming Produce and the Impact of Information: Insights from a Scottish Case Study

description: Vertical farming (VF) offers a potential solution to enhance food security, support rural econ-omies, and advance sustainable agriculture by minimising water usage, reducing the need for land, and increasing crop yields. However, its adoption potential depends on consumer ac-ceptance and demand. This study explores consumer preferences and willingness to pay (WTP) for vertical farming produce through a choice experiment focused on bowls of ready-to-eat salad leaves. We focus on the case study of Scotland, a country whose pedoclimatic conditions limit on-field production of fresh vegetables. An online survey was conducted with a sample of 800 Scottish consumers stratified by age and gender. Participants were assigned to one of four treatment groups. Each group received different information about VF, emphasising re-spectively environmental benefits, localness and local development, or energy concerns, in ad-dition to a baseline with no additional information. We find very limited prior knowledge of VF, increasing the salience of our treatments. We detect no significant difference in preferences between VF and on-field production per se, neither in the baseline, nor under the different treatments, but relative preference for products providing this information. Taste consistency, freshness (residual shelf life), and local origin, all enhanced by VF production, were important drivers of consumers’ choices. In the absence of vegetables grown on-field in the UK, national VF products were still preferred to imported ones. These findings can inform policymakers, producers, and retailers about strategies to enhance consumer acceptance and market potential for VF production.

description: With feature-model analyses, stakeholders can improve their under- standing of complex configuration spaces. Computationally, these analyses are typically reduced to solving satisfiability problems. While this has been found to perform reasonably well on many models, estimating the efficiency of a given analysis on a given model is still difficult. We argue that such estimates are necessary due to the heterogeneity of feature models. We discuss inherently influential factors and suggest potential algorithmic solutions.

description: Statistics is a widely taught subject in Higher Education but for many students, anxiety about statistics interferes with the learning process. Statistics anxiety workshops to help students understand and reduce statistics anxiety were developed by the authors and in 2020/21 delivered collaboratively and remotely with specific cohorts of students at three institutions. Prior to the workshops, all students within the targeted cohorts were asked to complete a survey which included measures of statistics anxiety, and asked if they were interested in attending the voluntary workshop. This enabled a comparison of the characteristics of groups who were interested or not. The workshops successfully attracted the targeted students, since those attending had higher overall statistics anxiety, software and maths anxiety, and anxiety around learning statistics. However, students with higher help seeking anxiety were less likely to attend.
