description: AbstractIntroduction: This protocol describes the study design of a research project on how working hours affect the risk of accidental injuries.Method: The research project will investigate how working hours during the past week affects the risk of all accidental injuries (during work, commuting and leisure time), with a main focus on timing of working hours. The population will consist of public sector employees in the Danish working hour database (DWHD) from 2008–2015, primarily employed in hospitals. Payroll data from the DWHD will be linked to accidental injuries recorded in the National Patient Register and The Danish Register of Causes of Death. The effect of timing of working hours will be studied in a multistate model with Poisson regression analyses.Discussion: A protocol helps in the planning of a research project and reduces the risk of data driven findings. This protocol describes the research questions, data, definitions and serves as a starting point for testing and applying the method in a subset of the data. The developed model will then be used to test the research questions in another subset of the cohort.

title: Big data analytics for demand response in smart grids
Creators: name: Oyedokun, James Timilehin
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2021

description: The transition to an intelligent, reliable and efficient smart grid with a high penetration of renewable energy drives the need to maximise the utilisation of customers’ demand response (DR) potential. More so, the increasing popularity of smart meters deployed at customers’ sites provides a vital resource where data driven strategies can be adopted in enhancing the performance of DR programs. This thesis focuses on the development of new methods for enhancing DR in smart grids using big data analtyics techniques on customers smart meter data. One of the main challenges to the effective and efficient roll out of DR programs particularly for peak load reduction is identifying customers with DR potential. This question is answered in this thesis through the proposal of a shape based clustering algorithm along with novel features to target customers. In addition to targeting customers for DR programs, estimating customer demand baseline is one of the key challenges to DR especially for incentive-based DR. Customer baseline estimation is important in that it ensures a fair knowledge of a customers DR contribution and hence enable a fair allocation of benefits between the utility and customers. A Long Short-Term Memory Recurrent Neural Network machine learning technique is proposed for baseline estimation with results showing improved accuracy compared to traditional estimation methods. Given the effect of demand rebound during a DR event day, a novel method is further proposed for baseline estimation that takes into consideration the demand rebound effect. Results show in addition to customers baseline accurately estimated, the functionality of estimating the amount of demand clipped compared to shifted demand is added.

description: Objective: The best management of patients with femoropopliteal and infrapopliteal artery occlusion disease is not clear. This study aimed to compare the efficacy of drug-coated balloons (DCBs) and drug-eluting stents (DESs) with percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) in patients with femoropopliteal or infrapopliteal arterial occlusive disease. Methods: Medline, Cochrane, Embase, and Google Scholar databases were searched for randomized controlled trials from 1 January 2000 until 30 June 2016. Results: Compared with PTA, significant benefits in favor of DCB and DES were found for target lesion revascularization (TLR) (OR = 0.38, 95% CI = 0.22 to 0.66, p = .001 for DCB; OR = 0.51, 95% CI = 0.32 to 0.81, p < .001 for DES). Primary patency rate was greater with DCB (p = .001) and DES (p < .001) than PTA. Compared with PTA, a significant reduction in mortality was observed in the DCB group (p = .039) but not in the DES group. Subgroup analysis found a lower rate of TLR and a higher rate of primary patency in the active group (DCB and DES) compared with the control group (PTA) in patients with femoropopliteal arterial occlusion (p ≤ .016) but not in patients with infrapopliteal arterial occlusion (p ≥ .063). Mortality was similar between active replacement and control groups both in the femoropopliteal arterial occlusion and the infrapopliteal arterial occlusion subgroups (all p > .05). Conclusions: Significantly better TLR and primary patency rate were found in the drug-delivering endovascular treatments compared with the PTA group for patients with femoropopliteal arterial occlusion but not for patients with infrapopliteal arterial occlusion.
title: C*-algebras of graphs of semigroups
Creators: name: Chen, Cheng
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2021

description: In the thesis, we investigate the properties of the reduced C*-algebras of graphs of monoids. These include nuclearity, ideal structure, K-theory and so on. Based on Serre’s definitions of graphs of groups and their fundamental groups, we define graphs of monoids and study the right LCM property. We also investigate the nuclearity of C*-algebras of graphs of monoids and give some examples to embed some special graphs of monoids (generalised Baumslag-Solitar monoids) into amenable groups. Using Xin Li’s work to view reduced semigroup C*-algebras as reduced groupoid C*-algebras, we study the topological approximate invariant means, the closed subgroupoids and the principality of the associated groupoids. The results in this part help us work out the primitive ideal spaces of these groupoid C*-algebras. Lastly, we compute K-theory of all the groupoid C*-algebras induced by the associated groupoids and their closed subgroupoids.

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

description: Motivated by the recent discovery of odd-parity multipolar antiferromagnetic order in CeRh$_2$As$_2$, we examine the coexistence of such translation invariant Kramers' degenerate magnetic states and superconductivity. We show that the presence of such magnetic states generically suppresses superconductivity, whether it be spin-singlet or spin-triplet, unless the magnetic state drives a symmetry-required pair density wave (PDW) superconducting order. We apply our results to CeRh$_2$As$_2$, where no pair density wave order appears; and to the loop current order in the cuprates, where such pair density wave superconductivity must appear together with Bogoliubov Fermi surfaces. In the former case, we explain why superconductivity is not suppressed.

description: The stimulation of angiotensin II (Ang II), the effector peptide of renin–angiotensin system, has been reported to increase the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) through the activation of the Ang II type 1 receptor (AT1R). In this study, we investigated whether hyperglycemia (HG, 33 mM glucose) in ARPE-19 cells could promote the expression of VEGF independently of Ang II through prorenin receptor (PRR), via an NADPH oxidase (Nox)-dependent mechanism. ARPE-19 cells were treated with the angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor perindopril to block the synthesis of Ang II. Treatment with HG induced VEGF expression in ARPE-19 cells, which was attenuated by pretreatment with the inhibitors of Nox, but not those of nitric oxide synthase, xanthine oxidase and mitochondrial O2 synthesis. In addition, Nox-derived and H2O2 signaling in the regulation of VEGF was determined by using both polyethylene glycol (PEG)-catalase (CAT) and PEG-superoxide dismutase (SOD). We demonstrated that small interfering RNA (siRNA)-mediated knockdown of PRR, Nox2 and Nox4 significantly reduced the HG-induced stimulation of VEGF. On the other hand, Nox4 overexpression significantly potentiated PRR-induced stimulation of VEGF under hyperglycemia in ARPE-19 cells. Furthermore, Nox4 was shown to be associated with enhanced activities of ERK1/2 and NF-κB (p65), indicating their involvement in PRR-induced activation of VEGF under HG in ARPE-19 cells. Our results support the hypothesis that Nox4-derived reactive oxygen species (ROS) signaling is implicated in the hyperglycemia-induced increase of VEGF expression through PRR in ARPE-19 cells. However, further work is needed to evaluate the role of PRR and Nox-s in HG-induced stimulation of VEGF in vivo.

description: Introduction: Acute fish liver intoxication, including hypervitaminosis A and hypervitaminosis D, may result from the ingestion of certain fish livers. The typical symptoms of hypervitaminosis A include nausea, headache, blurred vision, and cutaneous manifestations, such as flushing, vesicles formation, and desquamation. Hypervitaminosis D may result in hypercalcemia. We report a case of acute fish liver intoxication with systemic and cutaneous manifestations. Case: A 63-year-old male presented to the clinic with generalized desquamation and multiple clear-fluid filled flaccid vesicles after eating approximately two fist-sized portions (about 300–400 g) of cooked seerfish (Scomberomorus spp.) liver. Laboratory examination showed a high serum level of vitamin A and D, and hypercalcemia. Conclusions: Fish liver consumption from particular fish may result in acute hypervitaminosis A and D. In patients with skin detachment or blister formation, headache, drowsiness, and other symptoms and signs consistent with hypervitaminosis A and/or hypercalcemia, a history of fish intake should be sought, and a serum level of vitamin A and D should be measured.

description: Cross-modal correspondences refer to associations between apparently unrelated stimulus features in different senses. For example, high and low auditory pitches are associated with high and low visual elevations, respectively. Here we examined how this crossmodal correspondence between visual elevation and auditory pitch relates to auditory elevation. We used audiovisual combinations of highor low-frequency bursts of white noise and a visual stimulus comprising a white circle. Auditory and visual stimuli could each occur at high or low elevations. These multisensory stimuli could be congruent or incongruent for three correspondence types: cross-modal featural (auditory pitch/visual elevation), within-modal featural (auditory pitch/auditory elevation) and cross-modal spatial (auditory and visual elevation). Participants performed a 2AFC speeded classification (high or low) task while attending to auditory pitch, auditory elevation, or visual elevation. We tested for modulatory interactions between the three correspondence types. Modulatory interactions were absent when discriminating visual elevation. However, the within-modal featural correspondence affected the cross-modal featural correspondence during discrimination of auditory elevation and pitch, while the reverse modulation was observed only during discrimination of auditory pitch. The cross-modal spatial correspondence modulated the other two correspondences only when auditory elevation was being attended, was modulated by the cross-modal featural correspondence only during attention to auditory pitch, and was modulated by the within-modal featural correspondence while performing discrimination of either auditory elevation or pitch.We conclude that the cross-modal correspondence between auditory pitch and visual elevation interacts strongly with auditory elevation.

description: An escape response is a rapid manoeuvre used by prey to evade predators. Performing this manoeuvre at greater speed, in a favourable direction, or from a longer distance have been hypothesized to enhance the survival of prey, but these ideas are difficult to test experimentally. We examined how prey survival depends on escape kinematics through a novel combination of experimentation and mathematical modelling. This approach focused on zebrafish (Danio rerio) larvae under predation by adults and juveniles of the same species. High-speed three-dimensional kinematics were used to track the body position of prey and predator and to determine the probability of behavioural actions by both fish. These measurements provided the basis for an agent-based probabilistic model that simulated the trajectories of the animals. Predictions of survivorship by this model were found by Monte Carlo simulations to agree with our observations and we examined how these predictions varied by changing individual model parameters. Contrary to expectation, we found that survival may not be improved by increasing the speed or altering the direction of the escape. Rather, zebrafish larvae operate with sufficiently high locomotor performance due to the relatively slow approach and limited range of suction feeding by fish predators. We did find that survival was enhanced when prey responded from a greater distance. This is an ability that depends on the capacity of the visual and lateral line systems to detect a looming threat. Therefore, performance in sensing, and not locomotion, is decisive for improving the survival of larval fish prey. These results offer a framework for understanding the evolution of predator–prey strategy that may inform prey survival in a broad diversity of animals.

description: Scanning transmission X-ray microscopy (STXM) at the Fe 2p (L23), O 1s, C 1s and S 2p edges was used to study greigite magnetosomes and other cellular content of a magnetotactic bacterium known as a multicellular magnetotactic prokaryote (MMP). X-ray absorption (XAS) and X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) spectra of greigite (Fe3S4) nanoparticles, synthesized via a hydrothermal method, were measured. Although XAS spectra of the synthetic greigite nanoparticles and biotic magnetosome crystals in MMPs are slightly different due to partial oxidation of the MMP greigite, the XMCD spectra of the two materials are in good agreement. The Fe 2p XAS and XMCD spectra of Fe3S4 are quite different from those of its oxygen analog, magnetite (Fe3O4), suggesting Fe3S4 has a different electronic and magnetic structure than Fe3O4 despite having the same crystal structure. Sulfate and sulfide species were also identified in MMPs, both of which are likely involved in sulfur metabolism.

title: Understanding the viral diversity of Hepatitis B virus in Saudi Arabia using Next Generation Sequencing (NGS)
Creators: name: Alessa, Ahmed Abdulkarem
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2021

description: Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is a powerful method for detecting the viral mutations. The aim of this study was divided into two main sections; initially developed a protocol for Hepatitis B virus (HBV) full genome sequencing using NGS and contributed to the development of in-house bioinformatics tools to analyze drug resistance and vaccine escape mutations in a cohort of HBV-positive samples from Saudi Arabia. Then, performed detailed functional analysis using either in vitro infection or replicon system, of selected mutation to gain insights into their role conferring resistance to currently available drugs. To examine circulating HBV genotypes in Saudi Arabia, 64 patients with chronic hepatitis B infection were enrolled in this study. Plasma samples with known viral load were collected retrospectively from two major hospitals in Saudi Arabia. We used two sequencing approaches: i) Metagenomic approach and ii) Target enrichment. The designed probes were validated using MiSeq® platform from Illumina®. We validated a whole-genome sequencing protocol for HBV using deep sequencing, which enabled us to characterize the prevalence of HBV genotypes. Our results suggest that HBV genotype D is predominant in Saudi Arabia, as observed throughout the Middle East. A transfection-based in vitro system was developed in second part of this study to investigate the effect of changes in the genomes on HBV replication. A variety of cell lines were tested, and protein expression and viral DNA were characterised using several techniques, including ELISA and western blotting. The Huh7 cell line was validated for expressing HBV antigens, and the assessment of several monoclonal antibodies was conducted using transfected cells. This system was used to explore the mutations associated with antiviral treatment resistance observed in our sequence. Two mutations from NGS outcome (rtD134E and rtD134N) utilized for in-vitro drug assays to evaluate the efficacy of antiviral drug. In this study, none of the above mutant strains conferred resistance to ADV and TDF, suggesting the good, sustained antiviral efficacy of these two drugs with regard to inhibiting viral replication. This would provide strong support for the two mutations having a clear role in resistance to these drugs. Lastly, expression of HBcAg was conducted to confirm if the inhibition of the drugs was linked to cell toxicity. The results support the initial finding with lack of core expression in ADV and TDF treated samples whereas LdT, LAM, and ETV did not demonstrate any effect on HBcAg expression.

description: There has been extensive game-theoretic modelling of conditions leading to equilibria of producer–scrounger dichotomies in groups. However there is a surprising paucity of experimental evidence in wild populations. Here, we examine producer–scrounger games in five subpopulations of birds feeding at a socially learnt foraging task. Over four weeks, a bimodal distribution of producers and scroungers emerged in all areas, with pronounced and consistent individual tactic specialization persisting over 3 years. Tactics were unrelated to exploratory personality, but correlated with latency to contact and learn the foraging task, with the late arrivers and slower learners more likely to adopt the scrounging role. Additionally, the social environment was also important: at the broad scale, larger subpopulations with a higher social density contained proportionally more scroungers, while within subpopulations scroungers tended to be central in the social network and be observed in larger foraging flocks. This study thus provides a rare example of a stable, dimorphic distribution of producer–scrounger tactics in a wild population. It further gives support across multiple scales for a major prediction of social foraging theory; that the frequency of scroungers increases with group size.
The Future of Social Citizenship in the EU

description: EUSOCIALCIT Flagship REPORT 2 emphasizes priorities for the further development of EU social citizenship and the implementation of the European Pillar of Social Rights (EPSR). Grounded in the project's resource-based conception of social rights, this report identifies key findings and proposes recommendations for shaping the future of Social Europe.

The introductory chapter briefly outlines the project’s resource-based conception and key concepts, summarizing key findings and paving the way for forward-looking recommendations. Chapter two reviews rationales justifying the EU’s role in social rights, providing the general backdrop which has motivated our choice of studying EU social citizenship and arguing in favour of its further development. 

Chapter three aligns EUSOCIALCIT’s findings with the recent High-Level Group (HLG) Report on social protection and the welfare state in the EU, noting the synergy between the two. The fourth chapter evaluates the EPSR’s implementation in terms of power resources, emphasizing the need to address accessibility issues to counter non-take up and its adverse consequences. 

Chapter five emphasizes social investments, particularly in Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC), advocating for a re-evaluation of economic governance and increased social targets in fiscal plans. Chapter six addresses challenges in social protection and inclusion, urging the EU to adopt a more ambitious approach, both legislatively and financially, to achieve 2030 targets. 

Chapter seven focuses on the gender issue, particularly work-life balance, highlighting the need for further intervention despite the 2019 directive’s legal impetus. Recommendations include addressing low paternal leave uptake and strengthening instrumental resources for vulnerable individuals. 

The concluding chapter systematizes insights and proposals, offering policy recommendations under three main headings: institutional recalibration for social inclusion, infrastructural enhancement for instrumental and output production resources, and improved governance of the ‘marble cake’ metaphor that symbolizes EU social citizenship. These proposals aim to guide the future direction of EU social policy, emphasizing inclusivity, sustainability, and effective governance.

description: Acetaldehyde was introduced onto the side chains of polysulfone, and then Schiff base reactions were carried out between the introduced acetaldehyde and ortho-aminophenol (OAP) or meta-aminophenol (MAP). Two bidentate Schiff base (B) ligands of acetaldehyde/aminophenol type, OAPB and MAPB, were bonded on the side chains of polysulfone, and two new bidentate Schiff base ligand functionalized-polysulfones, PSF-OAPB and PSF-MAPB, were obtained. The triplet state energies of OAPB and MAPB are well matched with the resonant level energy of Tb(III), and the Tb(III) complexes emit the strong characteristic fluorescence of Tb(III) (green luminescence). Complexes of Eu(III) have no fluorescence emission because of the mismatching of the energy levels. In comparison, the fluorescence intensity of the binary complex PSF-(MAPB)3-Tb(III) is stronger than that of the binary complex PSF-(OAPB)3-Tb(III) because of the structured difference of the chelating ring. The ternary complexes PSF-(MAPB)3-Tb(III)-(Phen)1 (Phen represents 1,10-phenanthroline) and PSF-(OAPB)3-Tb(III)-(Phen)1 have stronger fluorescence emissions than the corresponding binary complexes. The fluorescence emission intensities of solid films of the complexes are stronger than that of their solutions. The prepared luminescent polymer-Tb(III) complexes containing acetaldehyde/aminophenol type bidentate Schiff base ligands have very high quantum yields (80–86%), reflecting the high intramolecular energy transfer efficiencies from the ligands to Tb(III).

description: We successfully stabilised liquid crystalline blue phases (BPs) by introducing two suitable additives with different geometric molecular structures, linear-shaped cobalt oleate complex (Co-OL) or tetrahedral-shaped tetraoctadecylammonium bromide (TODAB), into a liquid crystal (mixture of 4ʹ-pentyl-4-biphenylcarbonitrile, JC-1041XX and chiral dopant). The BPs temperature range and phase sequence depending on the addition amount and shape of additives were systematically investigated to determine the optimal concentration and shape dependency required to achieve a stabilising effect for BPs. From the polarising optical microscope results, the BPs temperature range for all of the samples with additives was not only broadened but also shifted to room temperature compared to that of BPs without additives. The widest BPs temperature range was increased to 15.3°C by the addition of 3 wt% Co-OL. According to the UV-vis reflection spectroscopy results, the Co-OL has a more significant stabilisation effect on BP I than on BP II, and the widest BP I range increases to 11.0°C. On the other hand, TODAB is effective for BP II stabilisation with the broadest BP II range reaching 1.8°C. These selective stabilisation effects are attributed to the specific shape of additives that closely match the structures of the disclination lines of the BPs.

description: Sustainable biomass-derived carbon materials were produced by hydrothermal carbonization of corn stover that was followed by chemical activation with KOH. The prepared carbon materials were used for CO2 adsorption and had a CO2 uptake of 7.14 mmol/g at a pressure of 1 bar and at 0°C that was much higher than CO2 uptake by activated carbon that was prepared from direct activation of corn stover (2.78 mmol/g). The porous corn stover-derived carbonaceous material had high surface area (2442 m2/g) and large pore volume (1.55 cm3/g). Product yields obtained by the activation of hydrothermally carbonized corn stover were significantly higher than those obtained by the direct activation of corn stover (36–75 vs. 8%). The prepared corn stover-derived porous carbon had a high CO2/N2 selectivity of 15.5 and exhibited constant CO2 uptake for five successive reuse cycles. The hydrothermal carbonization step plays an important role for producing porous carbons from biomass that have high and specific adsorption properties.

description: A new chiral capillary electrophoresis (CE) analytical method for the determination of six pairs of amino acid enantiomer-derivatized precapillary with 9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl chloride (FMOC) was developed. CE separation parameters such as the pH of background electrolyte, the boric acid concentration, the addition of D-fructose and isopropanol, and the effect of new binary chiral selectors on the electropherograms were investigated. Precapillary and in-capillary derivatization was compared as well. The results showed that enantiomeric separations were obtained with enantio-resolution (Rs) ranged from 2.61 to 9.99 for the FMOC-derivatized amino acid enantiomers except alanine with Rs 1.06. Precapillary derivatization method provides overall better Rs for nearly all the targets except FMOC-aspartate with efficiency up to 1.309 × 106 plates and limit of detection (LOD) down to 2.5 μM. This method was successfully applied to analyze the concentration of the D/L-glutamic acid and D/L-aspartate in seven rice wine samples.
