description: Heligmosomoides polygyrus is a solely enteric helminth parasite that infects mice. It has recently been reported that infection of this parasite elicits a systemic increase in type-I interferon expression. This response is likely a result of the translocation of microbiota elements during the burrowing of the L3 larvae into the duodenal wall. This elevated level of interferon is potentially detrimental to the cognition of infected mice as interferon beta (Ifnb1) induces the production of CXCL10, which acts as a ligand for CXCR3 receptors. Sustained CXCR3 activation in the brain has previously been shown to inhibit neural plasticity, thus affecting mood, behaviour and cognition. Given that 880 million children worldwide are currently estimated to be infected with intestinal parasites, the potential for developmental morbidity is great. Using qPCR, transcripts of Ifnb1, CXCL10 and a plethora of related pathway factors were measured and analysed to determine expressional differences in 4 key brain regions of infected individuals. Alongside these inflammatory factors, qPCR analysis of immediate early genes (IEGs) was also performed to further explore the potential cognitive effects of H. polygyrus infection, on an expressional level. Given that these genes are associated with discovery and the learning of new surroundings, we hypothesise that there will be a decrease in expression in the infected mice. To determine the location of interferon expression in the brain, transgenic GFP interferon reporter mice were infected with H. polygyrus and subsequently examined using a fluorescent microscope, as well as being subjected to interferon beta antigen retrieval. No distinguishable difference was found between the naïve and infected sample brain tissues; however, the qPCR findings suggest that future work should include the analysis of other pathway factors that are expressed at a higher level. This project attempts to outline and further characterise the pathway leading to cognitive decline post parasitic infection.

description: This is a scanned copy of a line Intercept at Groenberg (Heuningvlei) in the Cederberg, site 3219AA/4. The Jonkershoek Forestry Research Center (part of the former South African Forestry Research Institute) was established in 1935 at Jonkershoek, near Stellenbosch, under the directorship of Dr C. L. Wicht. The initial aim was to determine how forestry activities in state plantations would affect climate, water conservation and erosion, and was later expanded to include studies of fynbos ecology, fire and alien species. Studies from the 1930s to the early 1990s saw the accumulation of a large amount of data dealing with fire experiments, detailed vegetation plot surveys, rare plant surveys and ecological studies, hydrological studies and the development of management plans for catchments around the Western Cape.   SAEON now houses the archive of data collected by the Jonkershoek Forestry Research Center, which was originally held by the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR).

description: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is an irreversible neurodegenerative disease and affects a large population in the world. Cognitive scores at multiple time points can be reliably used to evaluate the progression of the disease clinically. In recent studies, machine learning techniques have shown promising results on the prediction of AD clinical scores. However, there are multiple limitations in the current models such as linearity assumption and missing data exclusion. Here, we present a nonlinear supervised sparse regression–based random forest (RF) framework to predict a variety of longitudinal AD clinical scores. Furthermore, we propose a soft-split technique to assign probabilistic paths to a test sample in RF for more accurate predictions. In order to benefit from the longitudinal scores in the study, unlike the previous studies that often removed the subjects with missing scores, we first estimate those missing scores with our proposed soft-split sparse regression–based RF and then utilize those estimated longitudinal scores at all the previous time points to predict the scores at the next time point. The experiment results demonstrate that our proposed method is superior to the traditional RF and outperforms other state-of-art regression models. Our method can also be extended to be a general regression framework to predict other disease scores.

title: Building a leadership pipeline for deans in business schools
Creators: name: Amann, Wolfgang
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2021

description: The management education industry is in flux. Technological change impacts course delivery. Stakeholder demands diverge. As a result, institutions, such as the United Nations with its PRME (Principles of Responsible Management Education) initiative, and various scholars call for more ethics and a more balanced impact on society. Parts of the corporate sector use business schools as an effective recruitment pool and advocate customer orientation when dealing with institutions. Additional industry trends, such as commercialisation, internationalisation, consolidation and intensifying competition, increase the level of adversity and the challenges that business school leaders face. Recurring crises, such as the health-related Covid-19 throughout the year 2020, aggravate the situation and challenge established solutions. A key question is therefore: How do we ensure that adequately qualified and highly motivated individuals rise to the upper echelons? In business schools, dynamics do not naturally encourage leadership development. Younger scholars must master research and/or teaching skills, none of which represent the core skill set needed to lead a business school. Leadership pipelines with clearly defined stages have been in use in the non-academic corporate sector for a while. This thesis investigates the potential for business schools to rely on such pipelines too, asking the specific research question of how business school deans experience their leadership development for their roles. Adopting a grounded theory approach, this thesis relies on in-depth interviews of deans located in a number of countries. The emerging substantive, i.e. context-specific, grounded theory suggests a better depiction of the phenomenon analogy-wise as well as semantics-wise by proposing a leadership-oriented ship canal. Several fundamental assumptions diverge, such as being less linear, less cumulative, less sequential, less one-directional, to name but a few features. The study continues with implications for theory and practice, including schools and next-generation aspiring leaders.

Abstract
title: DEVELOPING LEADERSHIP AND FINANCIAL ALLOCATION PRACTICES IN THE BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS: AN ACTION RESEARCH STUDY
Creators: name: Smith, Neil
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2020

description: This thesis reports on a study of the leadership and financial allocation practices of the British Virgins Islands (BVI) Civil Service. It focuses on the introduction of proposed modifications to the current practices meant to improve the effectiveness of leadership and the efficiency of budgeting practices. The study examines how the leadership practices in the BVI Civil Service influence resource allocation and the challenges that prevent it from realizing higher service delivery standards. This thesis also examines the synergies required between leadership practice, budgeting, and the implementation of initiatives. The literature review aimed to understand some of the challenges that exist in public sector leadership, organization systems, decision making, and financial management practices. The study then sought to understand the peculiarities of the British Virgin Islands’ leadership and financial management practices that may be responsible for the dissatisfaction of the senior managers within the BVI Civil Service in their quest to ensure that they carry out their mandates from the political directorate efficiently and effectively. The results showed that many of the issues regarding the budgeting and allocation of financial resources could be attributed to the leadership practices of the BVI Civil Service. Proposals include suggestions for changes to leadership and budget cycle procedures to improve the effectiveness of resource allocation and the implementation of BVI Civil Service initiatives. This improvement is achieved by, first, integrating stakeholders meaningfully in their various capacities to participate in the development of initiatives that utilize the resources of the Government of the Virgin Islands; second, by ensuring that lines of accountability and responsibility are established that are obvious to all stakeholders; third, by providing that the in-depth details necessary for implementing budget initiatives are shifted from pre-budget approval to post-budget approval; fourth, during the planning for implementation of initiatives, by emphasizing clear and accurate articulation of the problem as opposed to devising possible solutions to a less clearly defined problem; fifth, by ensuring that decision points are clearly defined and that the information required to make decisions at these points are part of a natural and progressively more detailed process moving towards the formulation of an acceptable solution to the defined problem. Finally, the implications for the leadership and financial management procedures and public policy in the British Virgin Islands Civil Service are discussed, along with proposals for further research.

Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2020

description: Action research and action learning have been applied in a shared service organisation as part of a global financial institute. Shared services aim for benefits, such as economies of scale and quality improvements for internal clients. However, various research indicates that there are also side effects. This research project starts from known issues of a local shared service entity with regard to its shared service delivery to clients and end-users. The concept of competencies and capabilities, as key focus areas to differentiate in competition, is applied through action learning sets. Based on two action cycles, primary and secondary data are captured, analysed and processed. Action learning is achieved for the learning set members for their personal development. The organisation also gains learning and competency from the project. Finally, the project suggests solutions to performance and quality issues as well as knowledge to apply action research and action learning in future projects. Limitations and directions for future research are also presented.

description: River Ardas in Greece is an area of outstanding natural beauty and used as a recreation area. Each year the area is visited by people of all ages. Children visit the place either with their school or with their parents. It is important to study their views about the river as a recreation area. The children asked were pupils of the elementary schools of the region. All of these children had visited the area before. The majority of the children declare satisfied from their visit in the area and assess the landscape positively. However, most of them have a less positive view about the provided recreation services. Through the use of hierarchical loglinear analysis it becomes clear that pupils who declare from totally to very satisfied regarding their visit in the recreation area of Ardas also find that the provided recreation services range from very good to good. The same pupils also believe that that the river constitutes from very small to fair danger to their safety and visit the place more than five times a year. In addition, the pupils who visit the area more than five times a year think that the river constitutes from very small to fair danger to their safety. Most of the pupils think that the diversity of plants ranges from big to very big while the diversity of animals ranges from small to very small. There is a need for improved infrastructure in the area, e.g. observatories, so that pupils can discover the wild animals that live there. The love of the children for animals becomes obvious from the fact that they do not wish the prohibition of pets in the place. Most of the pupils like the idea of camping in the area with their parents but the idea of doing so with their fellow pupils is even more popular. The children think that their parents would find it easier to grant permission to them to camp in the area if they themselves accompanied their children and not if their children did so together with their fellow pupils. Through the test of independence it becomes obvious that the will of the children to camp in the area depends on the will of their parents.

description: Cortical atrophy has been documented in both Parkinson’s disease (PD) and healthy aging, but its relationship to changes in subcortical white matter is unknown. This was investigated by obtaining T1- and diffusion-weighted images from 76 PD and 70 controls at baseline, 18-, and 36-months, from which cortical volumes and underlying subcortical white matter axial (AD), radial (RD) diffusivities, and fractional anisotropy (FA) were determined. Twelve of 69 cortical subregions had significant group differences, and for these underlying subcortical white matter was explored. At baseline, higher cortical volumes were significantly correlated with lower underlying subcortical white matter AD, RD, and higher FA (Ps ≤0.017) in PD. Longitudinally, higher rates of cortical atrophy in PD were associated with increased rates of change in AD RD, and FA values (Ps ≤ 0.0013) in two subregions explored. The significant gray-white matter associations were not found in controls. Thus, unlike healthy aging, cortical atrophy and subcortical white matter changes may not be independent events in PD.

description: Breakdown of neuro-glial N-acetyl-aspartate (NAA) metabolism results in the failure of developmental myelination, manifest in the congenital pediatric leukodystrophy Canavan disease caused by mutations to the sole NAA catabolizing enzyme aspartoacylase. Canavan disease is a major point of focus for efforts to define NAA function, with available evidence suggesting NAA serves as an acetyl donor for fatty acid synthesis during myelination. Elevated NAA is a diagnostic hallmark of Canavan disease, which contrasts with a broad spectrum of alternative neurodegenerative contexts in which levels of NAA are inversely proportional to pathological progression. Recently generated data in the nur7 mouse model of Canavan disease suggests loss of aspartoacylase function results in compromised energetic integrity prior to oligodendrocyte death, abnormalities in myelin content, spongiform degeneration, and motor deficit. The present study utilized a next-generation “oligotropic” adeno-associated virus vector (AAV-Olig001) to quantitatively assess the impact of aspartoacylase reconstitution on developmental myelination. AAV-Olig001-aspartoacylase promoted normalization of NAA, increased bioavailable acetyl-CoA, and restored energetic balance within a window of postnatal development preceding gross histopathology and deteriorating motor function. Long-term effects included increased oligodendrocyte numbers, a global increase in myelination, reversal of vacuolation, and rescue of motor function. Effects on brain energy observed following AAV-Olig001-aspartoacylase gene therapy are shown to be consistent with a metabolic profile observed in mild cases of Canavan disease, implicating NAA in the maintenance of energetic integrity during myelination via oligodendroglial aspartoacylase.

description: We present the results of a Monte Carlo technique to calculate the absolute magnitudes (H) and slope parameters (G) of about 240000 asteroids observed by the Pan-STARRS1 telescope during the first 15 months of its 3-year all-sky survey mission. The system's exquisite photometry with photometric errors < 0.04 mag, and well-defined filter and photometric system, allowed us to derive accurate H and G even with a limited number of observations and restricted range in phase angles. Our Monte Carlo method simulates each asteroid's rotation period, amplitude and color to derive the most-likely H and G, but its major advantage is in estimating realistic statistical+systematic uncertainties and errors on each parameter. The method was tested by comparison with the well-established and accurate results for about 500 asteroids provided by Pravec et al. (2012) and then applied to determining H and G for the Pan-STARRS1 asteroids using both the Muinonen et al. (2010) and Bowell et al. (1989) phase functions. Our results confirm the bias in MPC photometry discovered by (Juric et al. 2002).

description: In1 recent years, there has been a great interest in prostate segmentation, which is a important and challenging task for CT image guided radiotherapy. In this paper, a learning-based segmentation method via joint transductive feature selection and transductive regression is presented, which incorporates the physician’s simple manual specification (only taking a few seconds), to aid accurate segmentation, especially for the case with large irregular prostate motion. More specifically, for the current treatment image, experienced physician is first allowed to manually assign the labels for a small subset of prostate and non-prostate voxels, especially in the first and last slices of the prostate regions. Then, the proposed method follows the two step: in prostate-likelihood estimation step, two novel algorithms: tLasso and wLapRLS, will be sequentially employed for transductive feature selection and transductive regression, respectively, aiming to generate the prostate-likelihood map. In multi-atlases based label fusion step, the final segmentation result will be obtained according to the corresponding prostate-likelihood map and the previous images of the same patient. The proposed method has been substantially evaluated on a real prostate CT dataset including 24 patients with 330 CT images, and compared with several state-of-the-art methods. Experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms the state-of-the-arts in terms of higher Dice ratio, higher true positive fraction, and lower centroid distances. Also, the results demonstrate that simple manual specification can help improve the segmentation performance, which is clinically feasible in real practice.

description: Noise artifacts in magnetic resonance (MR) images increase the complexity of image processing workflows and decrease the reliability of inferences drawn from the images. It is thus often desirable to remove such artifacts beforehand for more robust and effective quantitative analysis. It is important to preserve the integrity of relevant image information while removing noise in MR images. A variety of approaches have been developed for this purpose, and the non-local means (NLM) filter has been shown to be able to achieve state-of-the-art denoising performance. For effective denoising, NLM relies heavily on the existence of repeating structural patterns, which however might not always be present within a single image. This is especially true when one considers the fact that the human brain is complex and contains a lot of unique structures. In this paper we propose to leverage the repeating structures from multiple images to collaboratively denoise an image. The underlying assumption is that it is more likely to find repeating structures from multiple scans than from a single scan. Specifically, to denoise a target image, multiple images, which may be acquired from different subjects, are spatially aligned to the target image, and an NLM-like block matching is performed on these aligned images with the target image as the reference. This will significantly increase the number of matching structures and thus boost the denoising performance. Experiments on both synthetic and real data show that the proposed approach, collaborative non-local means (CNLM), outperforms the classic NLM and yields results with markedly improved structural details.

description: In this paper, we describe an IDE called CAPS (Calculational Assistant for Programming from Specifications) for the interactive, calculational derivation of imperative programs. In building CAPS, our aim has been to make the IDE accessible to non-experts while retaining the overall flavor of the pen-and-paper calculational style. We discuss the overall architecture of the CAPS system, the main features of the IDE, the GUI design, and the trade-offs involved.

description: Automatic labeling of the hippocampus in brain MR images is highly demanded, as it has played an important role in imaging-based brain studies. However, accurate labeling of the hippocampus is still challenging, partially due to the ambiguous intensity boundary between the hippocampus and surrounding anatomies. In this paper, we propose a concatenated set of spatially-localized random forests for multi-atlas-based hippocampus labeling of adult/infant brain MR images. The contribution in our work is two-fold. First, each forest classifier is trained to label just a specific sub-region of the hippocampus, thus enhancing the labeling accuracy. Second, a novel forest selection strategy is proposed, such that each voxel in the test image can automatically select a set of optimal forests, and then dynamically fuses their respective outputs for determining the final label. Furthermore, we enhance the spatially-localized random forests with the aid of the auto-context strategy. In this way, our proposed learning framework can gradually refine the tentative labeling result for better performance. Experiments show that, regarding the large datasets of both adult and infant brain MR images, our method owns satisfactory scalability by segmenting the hippocampus accurately and efficiently.

description: This paper investigates the causal relations between tourism growth, relative prices and economic expansion for the Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol, a region of northeast Italy bordering on Switzerland and Austria. Johansen cointegration analysis shows the existence of one cointegrated vector among real GDP, tourism and relative prices where the corresponding elasticities are positive. Tourism and relative prices are weakly exogenous to real GDP. A variation of the Granger Causality test developed by Toda and Yamamoto is performed to reveal the unidirectional causality from tourism to real GDP. Impulse response analysis shows that a shock in tourism expenditure produces a fast positive effect on growth
