description: Neural stem/progenitor cells derived from olfactory neuroepithelium (hereafter olfactory neural stem/progenitor cells, ONSPCs) are emerging as a potential tool in the exploration of psychiatric disorders. The present study intended to assess whether ONSPCs could help discern individuals with schizophrenia (SZ) from non-schizophrenic (NS) subjects by exploring specific cellular and molecular features. ONSPCs were collected from 19 in-patients diagnosed with SZ and 31 NS individuals and propagated in basal medium. Mitochondrial ATP production, expression of β-catenin and cell proliferation, which are described to be altered in SZ, were examined in freshly isolated or newly thawed ONSPCs after a few culture passages. SZ-ONSPCs exhibited a lower mitochondrial ATP production and insensitivity to agents capable of positively or negatively affecting β-catenin expression with respect to NS-ONSPCs. As to proliferation, it declined in SZ-ONSPCs as the number of culture passages increased compared to a steady level of growth shown by NS-ONSPCs. The ease and safety of sample collection as well as the differences observed between NS- and SZ-ONSPCs, may lay the groundwork for a new approach to obtain biological material from a large number of living individuals and gain a better understanding of the mechanisms underlying SZ pathophysiology.

description: The British Film Institute (BFI) and the Creative Industries Policy and Evidence Centre (‘Creative PEC’) commissioned Ipsos, in partnership with Nordicity and the Bennett Institute for Public Policy ‘(Bennett Institute’), to explore the economic and cultural value of existing cinema venues in the UK. The economic value results can be found in the companion report, Measuring the Economic Value of Cinema Venues,[1] published in November 2023, which used a non-market valuation technique known as Contingent Valuation which utilises Stated Preference surveys to capture a ‘Willingness-to-Pay’ value.[2] To supplement the economic findings, focus groups were conducted to provide additional insight about the motivations and drivers of social and cultural value that cinema venues provide. Cultural value can be defined in different ways, but broadly as value attributed to cultural goods and activities. Social value can be defined as value created which impacts the wellbeing of society and enables community interaction. This report analyses the qualitative evidence collected from these focus groups using a social infrastructure framework.

Subjects: subject: NAD mechanisms

description: The finding that NAD+ plays a role in a variety of signalling pathways, including gene expression, Ca2+ signalling and DNA repair mechanisms, has sparked interest in the proteins involved in these pathways as potential pharmacological targets for drug development. Recently, FK866, a potent inhibitor of nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (Nampt) an important enzyme in the NAD+ rescue pathway, has been evaluated in clinical trials against cancer. The aim of this study is to further investigate the mechanisms and therapeutic characteristics of FK866 in different cancer cell lines and to determine if decreasing intracellular NAD+ levels can be used as a co-therapy strategy to improve the efficacy of current and new chemotherapy treatments. Experiments measuring cell vitality showed that FK866 dose-dependently decreased cell vitality. To investigate NAD+ consumption during Nampt inhibition, NAD+ levels were measured in cells treated with FK866 and inhibition of each of the main NAD+ consuming enzymes (PARP, sirtuins or CD38). This revealed differential NAD+ consumption rates by the different NAD+ consuming enzymes in MDA-MB-231 cells, with sirtuins being the major NAD+ consuming enzyme. The glycolytic effects of Nampt inhibition was measured using SEAHORSE assays; which measured the oxygen consumption and extracellular acidification rates as well as measuring NAD+/ NADH ratios. In the MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cell lines, FK866 had no effect on the oxygen consumption rates; however there was a general decrease in extracellular acidification rates indicating an effect on glycolytic activity. When measuring the NAD+/NADH ratio however, there was only a decrease in the MDA -MB-231 cells but no change in the MCF-7 cell line. Cell vitality and NAD+ levels were measured after treatment with FK866 in addition to NAD+ consuming enzyme inhibitors or the alkylating agent, Temozolomide to see if combination therapy would have more cytotoxic potential. This co-treatment indicated that there was no real positive effect on either the MCF-7 or MDA-MB-231 cells in either the cell vitality or NAD+ levels. Finally the effects of FK866 and the oral PARP inhibitor, Olaparib, were investigated using 3D cell culture (spheroids) and compared with 2D monolayer cultures. The effects of FK866 showed little difference in spheroid or monolayer culture. However, when treating with Olaparib there was higher level of cell viability and NAD+ levels with the cells grown in spheroid culture in comparison to cells grown in monolayer. In conclusion, this study has shown that FK866, as a single treatment decreases cell vitality, NAD+ levels and glycolytic activity. However as a co -therapy with PARP or Sirtuin inhibitors there is an increase in the cell vitality and NAD+ levels. Although similarities have been seen between spheroid culture and monolayers as a single treatment, FK866 does not seem to have the beneficial effects as a therapeutic.

description: Many optimization problems in engineering and industrial design applications can be formulated as optimization problems with highly nonlinear objectives, subject to multiple complex constraints. Solving such optimization problems requires sophisticated algorithms and optimization techniques. A major trend in recent years is the use of nature-inspired metaheustic algorithms (NIMA). Despite the popularity of nature-inspired metaheuristic algorithms, there are still some challenging issues and open problems to be resolved. Two main issues related to current NIMAs are: there are over 540 algorithms in the literature, and there is no unified framework to understand the search mechanisms of different algorithms. Therefore, this paper attempts to analyse some similarities and differences among different algorithms and then presents a generalized evolutionary metaheuristic (GEM) in an attempt to unify some of the existing algorithms. After a brief discussion of some insights into nature-inspired algorithms and some open problems, we propose a generalized evolutionary metaheuristic algorithm to unify more than 20 different algorithms so as to understand their main steps and search mechanisms. We then test the unified GEM using 15 test benchmarks to validate its performance. Finally, further research topics are briefly discussed.

description: Objective: To assess the association between sleep irregularity, anxiety, and depression while controlling for other sleep dimensions and using a longitudinal design. Methods: Longitudinal cohort study which started in April 2020 during the first French lockdown in the general population. Follow-up questionnaires were completed in June 2020, a period without lockdown measures. Participants were asked about their sleep (regularity, duration, timing, complaints) and their anxiety (General Anxiety Disorder-7) and depressive (Patient Health Questionnaire-9) symptoms. Results: A total of 3745 participants were included (mean age: 28.9 years) with 2945 women (78.6%). At baseline, 38.1% (1428) of participants reported irregular sleep timing, 23.8% (891) anxiety and 28.9% (1081) depressive symptoms. In cross-sectional analyses, irregular sleep timing was associated with a 2.5-fold higher likelihood of anxiety and a 4-fold higher likelihood of depressive symptoms compared to regular sleepers. Associations were not explained by the other sleep dimensions and persisted in a longitudinal analysis, with irregular sleep timing at baseline being associated with anxiety (OR = 3.27[1.58-6.76]) and depressive symptoms (OR = 3.45[1.66-7.19]) during follow-up. Conclusion: The results show a strong association between sleep irregularity and mental health. Furthers studies are needed to explore how sleep regularity could promote good mental health in non-clinical populations.

description: This survey assessed psychiatry residents’/early-career psychiatrists’ attitudes towards the utility of therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) of antipsychotics. A previously developed questionnaire on attitudes on TDM utility during antipsychotic treatment was cross-sectionally disseminated by national coordinators between 01/01/2022–31/12/2023. The frequency of using TDM for antipsychotics other than clozapine was the main outcome in a linear regression analysis, including sex, clinical setting, caseload, and factors generated by an exploratory factor analysis. Comparisons between residents and early-career psychiatrists, respondents working in in- and outpatient settings, and low-/middle- and high–income countries were performed. Altogether, 1,237 respondents completed the survey, with 37.9% having never used TDM for antipsychotics. Seven factors explained 41% of response variance; six of them were associated with frequency of TDM use (p < 0.05). Items with highest loadings for factors included clinical benefits of TDM (factors A and E: 0.7), negative expectations for beliefs of patients towards TDM (factor B: 0.6–0.7), weak TDM scientific evidence (factor C: 0.8), and TDM availability (factor D: −0.8). Respondents from low-/middle-income countries were less likely to frequently/almost always use TDM compared to high-income countries (9.4% vs. 21.5%, p < 0.001). TDM use for antipsychotics was poor and associated with limited knowledge and insufficient availability.

description: Geophysical and sedimentary records from five lakes in Massachusetts reveal regionally coherent hydrologic variability during the Holocene. All of the lakes have risen since ~9.0 ka, but multicentury droughts after 5.6 ka repeatedly lowered their water levels. Quantified water level histories from the three best-studied lakes share ≥70% of their reconstructed variance. Four prominent low-water phases at 4.9-4.6, 4.2-3.9, 2.9-2.1, and 1.3-1.2 ka were synchronous across coastal lakes, even after accounting for age uncertainties. The droughts also affected sites up to ~200 km inland, but water level changes at 5.6-4.9 ka appear out of phase between inland and coastal lakes. During the enhanced multicentury variability after ~5.6 ka, droughts coincided with cooling in Greenland and may indicate circulation changes across the North Atlantic region. Overall, the records demonstrate that current water levels are exceptionally high and confirm the sensitivity of water resources in the northeast U.S. to climate change.

description: Topotactic chemical reaction (TCR) is a chemical process that transforms one crystalline phase to another while maintaining one or more of the original structural frameworks, typically induced by the local insertion, removal, or replacement of atoms in a crystal. The utilization of TCR in atomic-layer materials and surfaces of bulk crystals leads to exotic quantum phases, as highlighted by the control of topological phases, the emergence of two-dimensional (2D) superconductivity, and the realization of 2D ferromagnetism. Advanced surface-sensitive spectroscopies such as angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) are leading techniques to visualize the electronic structure of such exotic states and provide us a guide to further functionalize material properties. In this review article, we summarize the recent progress in this field, with particular emphasis on intriguing results obtained by combining spectroscopies and TCR in thin films.

description: Coastal wetlands, such as marshes, mangroves and forested swamps, are in decline globally. Although considerable progress has been made in quantifying and valuing some of the key ecosystem goods and services provided by these habitats, fundamental challenges remain. The biggest challenge is inadequate knowledge to link changes in ecosystem structure and function to the production of valuable goods and services. Another problem is that very few ecosystem services are marketed. This review discusses recent advances in overcoming these challenges. To illustrate key valuation issues, the paper introduces three case studies from the US Gulf Coast state of Louisiana: quantifying ecosystem services and the 2012 Master Plan for coastal Louisiana; valuing storm protection by marsh in southeast Louisiana; and oil spills and the Natural Resource Damage Assessment approach to wetland compensation in lieu of restoration. The paper concludes with some final remarks on the state of coastal wetland valuation for protection and restoration.

Attachment and affect motivated eating behavior in an obese population: Maintenance versus relapse
Creators: name: Celec, Mary Jean
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 1994

description: This dissertation explored object relations characteristics in an obese population by comparing those who relapse following treatment with those who maintain their weight losses following treatment. The impetus for this study came from the proliferation, in recent years, of weight loss programs whose long-term results have been dismal. This all-too-common trend of relapse only serves to perpetuate the negative physical and psychological concominants of obesity. This dissertation presented a psychodynamic approach to conceptualizing relapse in weight loss and conducted a preliminary exploration in an effort to glean same information to confirm or disconfirm the usefulness of this approach. Theoretically, disruptions in early attachment, through empathic failures on the part of the selfobject, interfere with internalization of self-soothing structures. consequently, when the self experiences intolerable affect, the self initiates some action to ameliorate it. In the case of obesity, the self eats compulsively. This dynamic plays a role in relapse. Assessing the theoretical concepts presented through the Bell Object Relations Inventory with particular attention to the Insecure Attachment subscale, this study proposed that those who relapsed would show greater object relations deficits than those who maintained their weight losses and that those who reported emotional eating would show greater deficits on the Insecure Attachment subscale than those who did not. The subjects included in this study were thirty-nine caucasian females who had participated in a modified fasting diet. The study contacted the subjects through mailed surveys. It analyzed the data collected through the use of a t-test. Results did not show a significant difference between the relapse and maintenance groups. However, a significant difference appeared on the Insecure Attachment subscale when it compared emotional eaters to non-emotional eaters. This finding was consistent with the theoretical link between affect motivated eating behavior and the quality of object relations.

description: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a common progressive neurological disorder characterised by a complex range of motor and non-motor symptoms (NMS). Current PD service provision does not meet the needs of patients, and puts pressure on services with limited capacity. Digital Health Technologies (DHTs), including body-worn sensors and portable devices, may provide advantages, by enabling continual and objective monitoring of symptoms, and facilitating patient self-management. I carried out a series of studies and evaluations of DHTs for use in PD, to evaluate their ability to identify and monitor symptoms in both a clinical and research context. These included: 1. The evaluation of a computerised paced finger tapping task (PFT) that was found to correlate with a measure of verbal fluency, suggesting there may be potential to implement the PFT as part of a wider finger tapping battery to be used as a screening tool for PD executive dysfunction. 2. The iterative, user-centred design and formative evaluation of NMS Assist, a smartphone-based app to enable regular assessment of NMS as well as provide education for patients. The app was found to be highly usable, and key areas of amendment were identified. 3. A clinical service evaluation of the PKGTM, a PD remote monitoring device. The findings revealed the PKGTM is useful for identifying patients with unmet treatment need, even in newly diagnosed people with Parkinson’s (PwP) who experience more frequent clinic review. 4. A systematic review of neuroprotective trial design in PD. The results demonstrated a wide range of primary outcome measures is used across trials, and there is little evidence of patient stratification. The findings highlighted the potential for DHTs to improve various aspects of clinical trial design. I discuss the potential value of DHTs, as well as challenges associated with their use, identified as a result of this research.

Improving Introductory Astronomy Education in American Colleges and Universities: A Review of Recent Progress

Publisher: name: University of Wyoming. Libraries
Year: 2011
Subjects: Education

description: Over the past 15 years, professional astronomers, their societies, and associated funding agencies have collaborated to improve astronomy teaching and learning at the introductory undergraduate level. Many nonscience majors and preservice teachers enroll in these introductory astronomy courses, thus meriting the focused attention. In this review of recent developments, issues, approaches, and resources, we describe and document key instructional assets that have been made available to college and university faculty who wish to enhance their teaching of introductory astronomy. We find that although faculty support has progressed intermittently, there exist numerous programs and resources that faculty can access to increase student engagement and learning in astronomy. As funding support for these various instructional assets have waxed and waned, the professional societies have served as vital anchors and agents for advancing the profession of astronomy education at the introductory undergraduate level. Our findings, though focused on astronomy education, can be applied to the practice of introductory undergraduate education throughout the Earth and space sciences.

description: Strongly interacting systems appear in several areas of physics and are characterized by attractive interactions that can almost, or just barely, loosely bind two particles. Although this definition is made at the two-body level, this gives rise to fascinating effects in larger systems, including the so-called Efimov physics. In this context, the zero-range theory aims to describe low-energy properties based only on the scattering length. However, for a broad range of physical applications, the finite range of the interactions plays an important role. In this work, I discuss some aspects of finite-range effects in strongly interacting systems. I present the zero-range and shapeless universalities in two-body systems with applications in atomic and nuclear physics. I derived an analytical expression for the $s$-wave bound-state spectrum of the modified Pöschl-Teller potential for two particles in three dimensions, which is compared with the approximations to illustrate their usefulness. Concerning three identical bosons, I presented a trimer energy scaling function that explicitly includes the effective range. The implications for larger systems are briefly discussed.

description: Subduction of the Farallon plate beneath northwestern Mexico stalled by ~12 Ma when the Pacific-Farallon spreading-ridge approached the subduction zone. Coupling between remnant slab and the overriding North American plate played an important role in the capture of the Baja California (BC) microplate by the Pacific Plate. Active-source seismic reflection and wide-angle seismic refraction profiles across southwestern BC (~24.5N) are used to image the extent of remnant slab and study its impact on the overriding plate. We infer that the hot, buoyant slab detached ~40 km landward of the fossil trench. Isostatic rebound following slab detachment uplifted the margin and exposed the Magdalena Shelf to wave-base erosion. Subsequent cooling, subsidence and transtensional opening along the shelf (starting ~8 Ma) starved the fossil trench of terrigenous sediment input. Slab detachment and the resultant rebound of the margin provide a mechanism for rapid uplift and exhumation of forearc subduction complexes.
Risk eDecisions: Online Behaviour and Decision Making from the iGeneration to the Silver Surfer

description: Since the inception of the Internet there has been immense growth in the number of internet users worldwide, and the integration of social media in our daily lives has become commonplace for many. Yet, alongside the many benefits of this global connectivity come numerous risks. Research shows that individuals of all ages are exposed to, and engage in, risky activities online, despite numerous campaigns to highlight the perils of risky online behaviour. Although the rates of victimisation increase year-on-year, surprisingly little is known about the psychological mechanisms underlying online risk-taking. The work in this thesis aimed to address this gap in the psychological literature by conducting empirical research focussing on online risky behaviour and decision making across the lifespan. Four studies, conducted with individuals ranging in age from 13- to 79-years-old, investigated two online risk-taking behaviours, personal information disclosure and friending strangers, within the framework of Fuzzy Trace Theory. A further study investigated the posting of risky and inappropriate content online in British and Italian students, examining the role of self-monitoring and impulsivity. The work in this thesis reveals that Fuzzy Trace Theory is able to predict risk-taking and risk-averse behavioural intentions, and that the retrieval of gist-based, intuitive beliefs and values about online risk reduces risk-taking behaviour and intentions, whereas representing risk in a quantitative-based, verbatim manner leads to increased risk-taking intentions. The ability to reason using gist representations increases with age. Additionally, high self-monitoring was found to predict risky posting behaviour across different cultures. These findings offer a novel and important contribution to our theoretical and practical knowledge about risky online behaviour, and have the potential to inform the development of more effective online safety intervention programmes.

description: We have investigated FexTi12-xO2-δ (x50.02, 0.06, and 0.08) thin films grown on α-Al2O3 substrates by pulsed-laser deposition. X-ray diffraction results indicate that the films are single phase and of reduced-rutile type. Detailed microstructural observations reveal no measurable magnetic impurities in the films. Vibrating sample magnetometer measurements show the films are ferromagnetic at room temperature with coercivity ranging from 340 to 770 Oe. The temperature dependence of the resistivity shows nearly metallic behavior at room temperature but semiconducting behavior at lower temperatures. The extraordinary Hall effect with coercivities similar to those in magnetic hysteresis curves was observed at room temperature. The carriers are p type with a carrier density of about 1022/cm3.
AN EVALUATION OF CREST, A NIGHT HOSPITAL FOR ELDERLY PEOPLE SUFFERING FROM DEMENTIA
Creators: name: WATKINS, MARY
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 1994

description: The aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a night hospital nursing service for elderly people suffering from dementia; in particular, to establish the appropriateness of night support for this group and their carers. The study developed as a result of previous work that demonstrated that some carers requested "inpatient" admission for their relative/friend because of the stress of providing support and supervision at night. The research methods involved an evaluative structure - process - outcome, quality assurance and case study approach. An operational policy for the service was drawn up, as were nursing standards (process) . The service was evaluated over a two year period. Patient outcomes were measured using a visual analogue scale at intervals over six months to identify behavioural changes. Similarly, carers' feelings of anxiety and coping ability relating to their caring role were measured. Changes in patient behaviour and carer anxiety and felt ability to cope were analysed using the Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed ranks test. Carers were interviewed to elicit the effects their relatives' attendance at CREST had on their day to day lives. Changes in the use of community care services as a result of CREST were also identified. The sample consisted of 38 patients and their informal carers. Nursing activity was observed using non-participant observation to establish both the type of activity and peak work load periods. The results demonstrate that CREST had a positive outcome in terms of supporting patients' carers and that patients' behaviour did not change significantly while attending the night hospital. This latter result has been interpreted as a positive outcome in that people suffering from dementia can be expected to deteriorate over time. In conclusion it is anticipated that the results of this study have significance for planning nursing services for the care group involved and should assist in identifying the number and grade of staff needed to deliver optimum care at night to elderly people with dementia. Recommendations for changes in the operational policy have been made which will assist managers in planning new services. The research suggests that new nursing services for this group in the health authority will be more closely related to the individual needs of patients and their carers than has been achieved hitherto. This strategy should lead to fewer patients needing long term in-patient care.
Formation Mission Design for Commercial Aircraft Using Switched Optimal Control Techniques

description: In this article, the formation mission design problem for commercial aircraft is studied. Given the departure times and the departure and arrival locations of several commercial flights, the relevant weather forecast, and the expected fuel savings during formation flight, the problem consists in establishing how to organize them in formation or solo flights and in finding the trajectories that minimize the overall direct operating cost of the flights. Each aircraft can fly solo or in different positions inside a formation. Therefore, the mission is modeled as a switched dynamical system, in which the discrete state describes the combination of flight modes of the individual aircraft and logical constraints in disjunctive form establish the switching logic among the discrete states of the system. The formation mission design problem has been formulated as an optimal control problem of a switched dynamical system and solved using an embedding approach, which allows switching decision among discrete states to be modeled without relying on binary variables. The resulting problem is a classical optimal control problem which has been solved using a knotting pseudospectral method. Several numerical experiments have been conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach. The obtained results show that formation flight has great potential to reduce fuel consumption and emissions.
