Comparing the SIR and I2SIM models for the COVID-19 virus propagation
Creators: name: Song, Jerry
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: The COVID-19 pandemic has been present for nearly three years; we have acquired significant data about the COVID-19 virus. However, there are still many aspects of the pandemic unknown to us. In particular, it is still unknown what will be the optimal government decision for controlling the pandemic. The interdependencies between the various control policies are complex, with limited information about the relationship each policy has with each other and on controlling the growth of the virus. The I2SIM-RT software is based on the I2SIM concept developed in the UBC Power Research Group under Dr. José R Martí and was designed to simulate system interdependencies. This thesis will use I2SIM-RT to analyze the various protocols and restrictions implemented to counter COVID-19 in two areas in the world affected by the COVID-19 pandemic: British Columbia, Canada, and Hubei, China. We will also use the SIR Model, a model used in epidemiology to model infectious diseases, to assess the various government health policies intended to control the spread of the COVID-19 virus. This project will simulate the various government health policies implemented to counter the COVID-19 pandemic and how they affected the active COVID-19 case counts. We will compare the data reported during the pandemic with the model predictions obtained with the SIR Model implemented using MATLAB and the I2SIM COVID-19 Model using the I2SIM-RT software. A significant aspect of this thesis is to simulate the percentage of people who follow government health policies to see how their actions affect the number of active COVID-19 case counts. We used data from the British Columbia Centre for Disease Control to populate the I2SIM-RT COVID-19 Model. We adjusted different simulation scenarios based on different pandemic policies that will reflect the interdependencies between the policies. The Hubei, China data comes from the Hubei Ministry of Health. We investigated the Hubei government's various restrictions and policies that were used to suppress active COVID-19 cases and prevent new COVID-19 cases from emerging.

description: The continuous evolution of small Unmanned Aerial Systems (sUAS) demands advanced testing methodologies to ensure their safe and reliable operations in the real-world. To push the boundaries of sUAS simulation testing in realistic environments, we previously developed the DroneReqValidator (DRV) platform, allowing developers to automatically conduct simulation testing in digital twin of earth. In this paper, we present DRV 2.0, which introduces a novel component called DroneWiS (Drone Wind Simulation). DroneWiS allows sUAS developers to automatically simulate realistic windy conditions and test the resilience of sUAS against wind. Unlike current state-of-the-art simulation tools such as Gazebo and AirSim that only simulate basic wind conditions, DroneWiS leverages Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to compute the unique wind flows caused by the interaction of wind with the objects in the environment such as buildings and uneven terrains. This simulation capability provides deeper insights to developers about the navigation capability of sUAS in challenging and realistic windy conditions. DroneWiS equips sUAS developers with a powerful tool to test, debug, and improve the reliability and safety of sUAS in real-world. A working demonstration is available at https://youtu.be/khBHEBST8Wc

description: Over the past decade, app store (AppStore)-inspired requirements elicitation has proven to be highly beneficial. Developers often explore competitors' apps to gather inspiration for new features. With the advance of Generative AI, recent studies have demonstrated the potential of large language model (LLM)-inspired requirements elicitation. LLMs can assist in this process by providing inspiration for new feature ideas. While both approaches are gaining popularity in practice, there is a lack of insight into their differences. We report on a comparative study between AppStore- and LLM-based approaches for refining features into sub-features. By manually analyzing 1,200 sub-features recommended from both approaches, we identified their benefits, challenges, and key differences. While both approaches recommend highly relevant sub-features with clear descriptions, LLMs seem more powerful particularly concerning novel unseen app scopes. Moreover, some recommended features are imaginary with unclear feasibility, which suggests the importance of a human-analyst in the elicitation loop.

Amélioration du comportement à long terme de composites cimentaires renforcés par des fibres de lin
Creators: name: Page, Jonathan
Publisher: name: Academic Journal of Civil Engineering
Year: 2019

description: Le travail réalisé dans cette étude vise à améliorer le comportement mécanique à long terme de composites renforcés par des fibres de lin selon différentes stratégies. Tout d’abord, plusieurs traitements de surface appliqués aux fibres sont étudiés, tels qu’un enrobage minéral au liant hydraulique (ciment + laitier), un enrobage organique à l’huile de lin et un traitement physique de surface au plasma atmosphérique. Bien que ces traitements aient permis d’améliorer certaines propriétés des mortiers, ils n’ont pas permis de réduire dans le temps la dégradation des fibres au sein de la matrice cimentaire (hydrolyse alcaline des fibres et leur minéralisation sous l’action de l’hydroxyde de calcium). Il apparaît donc nécessaire de recourir à des liants alternatifs pour tenter d’améliorer la durabilité de ces composites à fibres végétales. Ainsi, de nouvelles formulations de mortiers sont proposées, dans lesquelles le ciment Portland est remplacé partiellement par le métakaolin / le laitier de hauts fourneaux ou totalement par un ciment sulfo‑alumineux. L’étude des nouveaux composites formulés avec le métakaolin ou le ciment sulfo‑alumineux indique des niveaux de résistance mécanique et de ténacité élevés.

description: Des matériaux à base de granulats végétaux, comme le béton de chanvre, sont utilisés pour améliorer l’isolation thermique, le confort acoustique et hygrothermique des bâtiments, tout en valorisant des ressources renouvelables. Cependant l’absence de données sur les performances à long terme du matériau est un frein au développement de cet isolant. L’objectif de cette étude portant sur la durabilité du béton de chanvre est d’identifier les mécanismes de vieillissement du matériau, en utilisant une approche pluridisciplinaire et multiéchelle. Deux formulations de bétons de chanvre sont ainsi soumises à deux types de conditions environnementales pendant 2 ans, avec comme facteurs de vieillissement la température et les variations d’humidité relative. L’évolution des propriétés fonctionnelles (thermiques, acoustiques et mécaniques) est suivie et reliée à l’évolution des propriétés microstructurales et chimiques. Les résultats montrent qu’en conditions normales de laboratoire, les propriétés du matériau sont maintenues. Le vieillissement accéléré permet d’observer des évolutions de propriétés fonctionnelles, qui proviennent d’une modification de la chimie du minéral et de la microstructure du végétal, avec un impact des microorganismes.

description: Problème Les céréaliers ont des difficultés à diversifier largement leurs rotations, notamment par manque de débouchés de certaines productions et de marchés limités. D’un autre côté, les élevages laitiers importent énormément de matières premières comme le soja. Il est souvent difficile de substituer cette source protéique avec des ressources locales. Solution Une des solutions envisagée pour diversifier les rotations tout en augmentant la production de ressources protéiques localement est de faciliter et promouvoir les échanges “gagnant-gagnant” entre éleveurs et céréaliers. Les éleveurs pourraient ainsi utiliser les protéines localement pour leur animaux, afin de créer un marché local favorisant la diversification des systèmes agricoles.
Deep reinforcement learning for resource allocation in beyond 5G systems
Creators: name: Huang, Rui
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: With the rapid development of wireless network-enabled applications, the beyond fifth generation (B5G) wireless systems are required to support a large number of mobile and Internet of things (IoT) devices. Moreover, the growing demand for applications with high data rate requirements, including virtual reality (VR), brings new challenges to the B5G wireless systems. While several emerging physical layer and medium access control techniques, including grant-free multiple access (GFMA), intelligent reflecting surface (IRS), and rate-splitting (RS), introduce additional degrees of freedom (DoF) to the B5G wireless systems, novel resource allocation algorithms are required to fully exploit their potentials. In this thesis, we propose deep reinforcement learning (DRL)-based algorithms to efficiently optimize the DoF and improve the performance of B5G wireless systems. First, we propose a distributed pilot sequence selection scheme for GFMA systems. The proposed scheme maximizes the aggregate throughput by mitigating pilot sequence selection collisions. In the proposed scheme, a distributed pilot sequence selection policy is obtained by using a multiagent DRL technique. Second, we propose a joint user scheduling, phase shift control, and beamforming optimization algorithm for IRS-aided systems. We formulate a joint optimization problem for maximizing the aggregate throughput and achieving the proportional fairness in IRS-aided systems. The proposed algorithm exploits neural combinatorial optimization (NCO) to determine user scheduling, and uses curriculum learning (CL) and deep deterministic policy gradient (DDPG) to optimize the beamforming vectors and IRS phase shifts. Third, we propose a novel IRS-aided RS VR streaming system. We formulate an optimization problem for maximizing the achievable bitrate of the 360-degree video subject to the quality of experience (QoE) constraints of the users. We propose a deep deterministic policy gradient with imitation learning (Deep-GRAIL) algorithm, in which we leverage DRL and the human expert knowledge to optimize the IRS phase shifts, RS parameters, beamforming vectors, and bitrate selection of 360-degree videos. Simulation results show that the proposed DRL-based algorithms improve the performance of B5G wireless systems by efficiently optimizing the DoF. Our results also demonstrate the effectiveness of empowering the DRL techniques with the human expert knowledge of wireless systems.

The impact of traditional masculinity ideology on veteran mental health and treatment outcome
Creators: name: O'Loughlin, Julia Iman
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: This dissertation examines the intersections between traditional masculinity ideology, mental health, and psychotherapeutic treatment outcome among veteran men. This is an important line of inquiry as endorsement of traditional masculinity ideology is common among veteran men and linked to mental health concerns that can negatively impact the transition from military to civilian life. A better understanding of how, and through which means, traditional masculinity impacts veteran men’s mental health and treatment outcomes may elucidate how negative effects of masculinity on the transition trajectory may be mitigated. To this end, three distinct, but interrelated studies were conducted. The first study aimed to determine the relevance of traditional masculinity ideology to veterans’ transition trajectory by examining the relationship between individual masculinity facets and mental health. Results indicated that restrictive emotionality predicted posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, and lack of perceived social support, and avoidance of femininity predicted alcohol-related problems. To build on these findings, we sought to assess whether the relationship between traditional masculinity ideology and veteran mental health extends to psychotherapeutic treatment outcome. We began by assessing whether individual masculinity facets impacted pre-to post-treatment change in PTSD symptomatology. Results indicated that higher endorsement of self-reliance and dominance attenuated positive treatment outcomes. To build on our learnings, we conducted a subsequent treatment-focused study to determine if similar results would be observed when measurement of treatment outcome was expanded beyond a single mental health category. To do so, treatment outcome was assessed according to changes in general psychosocial functioning. Additionally, we conducted three post-treatment follow-ups over 18 months to increase our understanding of how masculinity influences symptom change over a longer trajectory of time. Results indicated that higher endorsement of self-reliance may impede treatment outcome and endorsement of toughness may improve outcomes overtime. Combined, results of the three studies can be used to identify means of interrupting the effects of masculinity on the military to civilian transition trajectory. They may also be useful in potentiating positive treatment outcome by indicating interventions points related to interrupting masculinity facets that may disrupt veteran wellbeing and bolstering those with possible protective effects.

description: Daptomycin, which is produced by Streptomyces roseosporus, has been characterized as a novel cyclic lipopeptide antibiotic that is effective against gram-positive bacteria. The biosynthesis of daptomycin is regulated by various factors. In the present study, we demonstrated that Crp (cyclic AMP receptor protein), which is a global transcriptional regulator that manages multiple biological activities, plays an important role in producing daptomycin in the S. roseosporus industrial strain, and the daptomycin production of the crp deletion strain was drastically reduced, while the crp overexpression strain exhibited a 25% increase. This result may be explained by the transcriptome analyses showing that some genes related to the daptomycin biosynthetic gene cluster (dpt) and the pleiotropic regulator (adpA) were significantly upregulated. RNA-seq also indicated that Crp is a multifunctional regulator that regulates primary metabolism and enhances precursor fluxing to secondary metabolite biosynthesis. These results may provide guidance for the development and improvement of potential natural products.

description: Diffusion MRI is a powerful tool that serves as a bridge between brain microstructure and cognition. Recent advancements in cognitive neuroscience have highlighted the persistent challenge of understanding how individual differences in brain structure influence behavior, especially in healthy people. While traditional linear models like Canonical Correlation Analysis (CCA) and Partial Least Squares (PLS) have been fundamental in this analysis, they face limitations, particularly with high-dimensional data analysis outside the training sample. To address these issues, we introduce a novel approach using deep learninga multivariate autoencoder model-to explore the complex non-linear relationships between brain microstructure and cognitive functions. The model's architecture involves separate encoder modules for brain structure and cognitive data, with a shared decoder, facilitating the analysis of multivariate patterns across these domains. Both encoders were trained simultaneously, before the decoder, to ensure a good latent representation that captures the phenomenon. Using data from the Human Connectome Project, our study centres on the insula's role in cognitive processes. Through rigorous validation, including 5 sample analyses for out-of-sample analysis, our results demonstrate that the multivariate autoencoder model outperforms traditional methods in capturing and generalizing correlations between brain and behavior beyond the training sample. These findings underscore the potential of deep learning models to enhance our understanding of brain-behavior relationships in cognitive neuroscience, offering more accurate and comprehensive insights despite the complexities inherent in neuroimaging studies.

description: Background

Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) is a major mental health problem among youth worldwide. Dysfunction in emotion regulation contributes to NSSI, but research on the underlying neurobiological mechanisms of NSSI is limited. Adolescents with emotion regulation difficulties are vulnerable to stress, making them susceptible to maladaptive coping mechanisms such as NSSI.
Methods

This study examined the functional neurocircuitry relevant to emotion regulation and stress coping in individuals with NSSI compared with healthy controls. This case-control study included 34 adolescents with NSSI (15.91 years) and 28 (16.0 years) unaffected controls. Participants underwent a functional magnetic resonance imaging scan before and after completing a laboratory stress-induction paradigm (the Montreal Imaging Stress Test). The effects of stress induction were quantified by both physiological measures and self-reports.
Results

Participants with NSSI showed distinctive alterations in functional resting-state following stress induction, which differentiated them from unaffected controls. Results show a reduction in functional connectivity between frontoparietal regions and the angular gyrus within the patient group compared to controls, as well as an increase in functional connectivity between visual regions, the insular cortex, the planum polare, and the central opercular cortex. After conditions of acute stress, adolescents with NSSI show changes in functional connectivity of regions associated with sensorimotor alertness, attention, and effortful emotion regulation.
Limitations

The patient group showed both NSSI and suicidal behavior, therefore results might be partly due to suicidality.
Conclusion

The findings emphasize the importance of targeting emotion regulation within therapeutic approaches to enhance stress coping capacity, which in turn may contribute to counteracting self-injurious behavior.
Spliceosomal evolution in the reduced genomes of microsporidia
Creators: name: Whelan, Thomas
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2024

description: Eukaryotic genes are mosaics of coding regions and non-coding regions called spliceosomal introns. Introns are removed from pre-mRNA by a ribonucleoprotein complex called the spliceosome. The spliceosome in humans is composed of five small nuclear RNAs and nearly 200 associated proteins. As nuclear genomes reduce, introns are more readily lost and, as a result, there is weakened selection to maintain a complex spliceosome. My dissertation focuses on the evolution of introns and spliceosomes in species with reduced genomes. Microsporidia are intracellular parasites that have extremely reduced nuclear genomes and have lost of many, if not all, introns. I examined all available microsporidian genomes and identified a family of introns that are conserved in all intron-containing microsporidia. These introns differ from typical microsporidian introns: they are longer, are spliced at higher levels, have hyperextended motifs, and contain internal conserved regions that may indicate a non-coding function. Despite the genome of Pseudoloma neurophilia having no annotated introns, I identified the presence of two long introns. I established that the P. neurophilia spliceosome is the most reduced known, and that the retained proteins and small nuclear RNAs are notably divergent from canonical orthologs. Due to extensive sequence evolution in microsporidia, direct comparisons to model organisms can be difficult. I produced the first transcriptomes from the Rozellomycota, the sister group to microsporidia, and found significant plasticity of expression throughout the lifecycle. I also found that Rozella introns are extremely constrained in size but lack conserved spliceosomal motifs. These data, combined with available genomic data from two other related parasites, provide insights into the evolution of microsporidian introns. Spliceosomal reduction extends beyond the loss of proteins. In the red alga Cyanidioschyzon merolae, a regulatory toggle in the core spliceosomal protein Prp8 has been lost. I examined a diverse set of eukaryotes and found that convergent losses occurred in other reduced taxa, including microsporidia. Overall, my dissertation highlights the usefulness of microsporidia as a model for spliceosomal reduction and aids in our understanding of the evolution of splicing in reduced systems.
Managing temporary suspended sediment releases to improve environmental and economic outcomes for river construction
Creators: name: Courtice, Gregory James
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: The temporary release of suspended sediment in lotic environments is a common phenomenon that can result from construction activities in rivers. Aquatic ecosystems may be harmed by exposure to fine sediments. Temporary suspended sediment releases are described by the variables of suspended sediment concentration (SSC; mg∙L⁻¹) and duration of exposure (DoE; h). Activities that induce temporary suspended sediment releases have fixed scopes of work that yield trade-offs between SSC versus DoE; managing an activity to reduce one variable will likely lead to an increase in the other. Predominant management policies prioritize reducing SSC, leading to increased activity durations (and project costs), however there is no framework to evaluate if this approach results in more desirable environmental outcomes. The objective of this thesis was to develop a framework to understand how SSC and DoE can be co-managed during temporary suspended sediment releases to improve both environmental and economic outcomes. Several steps were taken to achieve this objective. First, a common source of temporary suspended sediment releases (i.e., in-stream construction-induced suspended sediment) was characterized by exploring the abiotic and biotic factors that govern point-source suspended sediment releases and resulting adverse effects to ecosystems. Then, a categorical analysis was undertaken to reassess existing dose-response observation data for salmonids. Candidate variables of SSC, DoE, and their product, suspended sediment dose (SSD; mgh∙L⁻¹), were evaluated for their potential to explain major physiological and lethal effect outcomes. The categorical model was then adapted to quantify uncertainty and develop a management solution space, demonstrating that SSD represents mean salmonid dose-response dynamics well for a commonly used regulatory benchmark limit. The research demonstrates the value of using multilevel logistic regression to describe the categorical data structure of the dose-response dataset for salmonids. Graphical presentations of the management operating space revealed a conceptual framework for identifying improved environmental and economic exposure domains. Two practical case studies supported the theoretical conclusions. Achieving desirable project outcomes was found to require a clear operational definition to understand the necessary measurements and modeling so that management actions may be considered in terms of their costs against the costs associated with mitigation of opposing risks.

description: Reproducibility is an important pillar of scientific work. It allows knowledge to be shared and new knowledge to be gained based on existing research. However, reproducibility is severely limited by insufficient and incomplete documentation of research results.To counteract this, the FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) data principles were established. In science, the realisation of research data management (RDM) based on the FAIR data principles is time and resource consuming. In view of this, we are developing BioCatHub (biocathub.net). BioCatHub is a research data management platform in form of a browser-based web application, designed to help experimenters in biocatalysis to realise research data management based on the FAIR data principles. To simplify the use of BioCatHub, it maps experiments in biocatalysis and specifically asks for information that is essential for reproducibility. Subsequently, the collected data is exported in the machine-readable format EnzymeML, which enables it to be stored locally, shared with other researchers for further processing or be uploaded and published to platforms like Zenodo. Once the experiments are available as EnzymeML documents, they can be imported to BioCatHub to plan further experiments or to gain detailed insight into already recorded experiments.The aims of BioCatHub are to help experimenters in biocatalysis realise research data management based on the FAIR data principles, to enhance the digitalisation of positive as well as negative experimental results and to improve the reproducibility of experimental results in biocatalysis. As negative data can be included, a rich source of additional information is maintained, which is up to date often lost.

description: The extraordinary gamma-ray burst GRB 221009A provides a great opportunity to investigate the enigmatic origin and evolution of GRBs. However, the complexity of the observations associated with this GRB provides significant challenges to developing a theoretical modeling in a coherent framework. In this paper, we present a theoretical interpretation of the GRB 221009A afterglow within the relativistic fireball scenario, aiming to describe the broadband dataset with a consistent model evolution. We find that the adiabatic fireball evolution in the slow-cooling regime provides a viable scenario in good agreement with observations. Crucial to our analysis is the set of simultaneous GeV and TeV gamma-ray data obtained by AGILE and LHAASO during the early afterglow phases. Having successfully modeled as inverse Compton emission the high-energy spectral and lightcurve properties of the afterglow up to $10^4$ s, we extend our model to later times when also optical and X-ray data are available. This approach results in a coherent physical framework that successfully describes all observed properties of the afterglow up to very late times, approximately $10^6$ s. Our model requires time-variable microphysical parameters, with a moderately increasing efficiency $\varepsilon_e$ of a few percent for transferring the shock energy to radiating particles and a decreasing efficiency for magnetic field generation $\varepsilon_B$ in the range $10^{-5}$-$10^{-7}$. Fitting the detailed multifrequency spectral data across the afterglow provides a unique test of our model.

Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: Medicine and Health Sciences
subject: Medical Education

description: Health professional students often work independent in various hospital settings and treat patients in a variety of circumstances. A key part of their professional competency is the ability to think critically and integrate their knowledge into practice to make clinical decisions. Simulation-based education is a pedagogy that can enhance the critical thinking skill of a health professional student. This scoping review aims to identify and describe the available literature related to the use of simulation-based education to facilitate critical thinking skills. A systematic and comprehensive literature review will be conducted using the PRISMA-ScR guidelines. This scoping review will consider all journal articles and grey literature, and incorporate databases such as Medline, Embase, CINAHL, EBSCOhost and Web of Science. The refined framework of Arskey and O’Malley will be used for this scoping review. The researcher will screen all eligible articles and Microsoft office Excel will be used to document the data extraction. Consultation with two educators with experience in critical thinking will be done, adding validity to the study. This scoping review is used to identify and map the research gaps in the available literature on the research topic. The research findings will be used to inform future studies aiming to develop and evaluate simulation-based training that target the critical thinking skills of healthcare professionals

description: This paper introduces SGCode, a flexible prompt-optimizing system to generate secure code with large language models (LLMs). SGCode integrates recent prompt-optimization approaches with LLMs in a unified system accessible through front-end and back-end APIs, enabling users to 1) generate secure code, which is free of vulnerabilities, 2) review and share security analysis, and 3) easily switch from one prompt optimization approach to another, while providing insights on model and system performance. We populated SGCode on an AWS server with PromSec, an approach that optimizes prompts by combining an LLM and security tools with a lightweight generative adversarial graph neural network to detect and fix security vulnerabilities in the generated code. Extensive experiments show that SGCode is practical as a public tool to gain insights into the trade-offs between model utility, secure code generation, and system cost. SGCode has only a marginal cost compared with prompting LLMs. SGCode is available at: https://sgcode.codes/.

description: Deliverable D2.2 presents the results of Task 2.2 of the COLOSSUS project related to stakeholder needs and scenarios for the two use cases: Sustainable Intermodal Mobility (ADAM) and Wildfire fighting (EVE) respectively. To help readability and usability of the results, the Deliverable D2.2 is divided into two parts, one for each use case. D2.2 – Part A addresses the EVE use case, whereas D2.2 – Part B addresses the ADAM use case.
The work presented are the results from analysing the identified stakeholders which was performed under Task 2.1. The analysis of the stakeholder needs is presented herein. These needs have then been turned into two scenarios, describing the objectives and the operational environment, capturing the main parameters and factors that will influence the operational system-of-systems.
Lines of sight : the hand, the eye, the microscope and the knife in Nehemiah Grew's The anatomy of plants (1682)

description: We are come ashore into a new World,” declared seventeenth-century naturalist Nehemiah Grew in the dedication to his 17th century publication ordered by the Royal Society. The world he went on to describe, however, did not include any of the typical features one might expect from a treatise on the exploration of new territory. There were no coastlines there – no mountainous regions, no lakes or valleys. Instead, the place he described consisted of roots, seeds, vessels and membranes. Grew’s The Anatomy of Plants, published in 1682, was one of the first systematic studies of plants using microscopic evidence to observe the biological structure and function of plants. Employing the method of comparative anatomy, not just among species but across taxonomic kingdoms, Grew dissected and investigated the fibrous interiors of trees and flowers and described the movement of fluids through different plants by using models typically reserved for humans and other animals. Accompanying this groundbreaking study was an illustrated program of 83 printed pages of etches and engravings, capturing some of the earliest visualizations and interpretations of the biological functioning of plants, and of the microscopic inner world underlying their growth and reproduction. This dissertation will examine the visual construction of Nehemiah Grew’s The Anatomy of Plants and discuss the relationship between images and knowledge-making in the context of Grew’s natural history investigations at the Royal Society in the late seventeenth century. Given that what Grew was observing through his experiments, dissections, and use of lenses had never been described or represented in detail before, he had to operate with a previously unarticulated conceptual apparatus and visual language in order to make sense of what he saw and to then communicate his findings to others through image and text.
Understanding Depression Symptom Heterogeneity in South Asian Minority Groups: A Scoping Review

description: Depression is the most common mental illness globally, affecting over 300 million people world-wide. It is therefore recognised as a leading cause of years lived with disability globally. However, depression epidemiology in minority groups has been poorly characterised and the cultural appropriateness of screening tools and diagnostic indicators have been questioned and critiqued.

Within the existing evidence base, differences in depressive symptoms by ethnicity have been reported. This heterogeneity in symptoms contributes to under- and mis-diagnosis within primary care; however, despite South Asian groups comprising the largest UK minority, there is limited understanding on how this applies to South Asian minority groups. Therefore, it is crucial we explore reporting of depression symptoms and how this compares to diagnostic frameworks such as the DSM-V. A scoping review will be conducted to explore the reporting of depressive symptoms by individuals in the South Asian diaspora, taking into account intergenerational differences and differences by acculturation.
