description: Accurate modelling of transistors is considered to be an invaluable foundation for successful circuits. This dissertation presents a new approach to scalable, large-signal modelling of GaAs and GaN microwave HEMT devices, that can be used to accurately synthesise arbitrary device geometries. The modelling technique involves an extraction of frequency-independent small-signal intrinsic model parameters that linearly scale with zero offset in proportion to device width. These parameters are extracted from multi-bias steady-state small-signal measurements, i.e. thermal and trap states, are embedded in the extracted small-signal model parameters. Local temperature rise and trap-state of the measured device are separately characterised. A lumped-element thermal model is formulated that can accurately model the local temperature rise, i.e. at the individual gate finger, and scales correctly with number of fingers. A newly- developed trap-state characterisation technique that is used to fit an adequate trap circuit model over a wide bias range is presented. The thermal and trap circuit models form part of the complete large-signal model, in which the interaction of the thermal and trap models are critical to the model completeness, scalability and accuracy, as well as the consistency with the small-signal model. The complete model is fitted to the extracted multi-bias small-signal intrinsic parameters. The model is shown to accurately predict the small-signal and large-signal performance of arbitrary synthesised device geometries. The model is then used to design a GaN PA which benefited from the scalability and built-in electrothermal simulation capability of the model to achieve best electrical and thermal performance.

description: That conditioning on a common effect of exposure and outcome may cause selection, or collider-stratification, bias is not intuitive. We provide two hypothetical examples to convey concepts underlying bias due to conditioning on a collider. In the first example, fever is a common effect of influenza and consumption of a tainted egg-salad sandwich. In the second example, case-status is a common effect of a genotype and an environmental factor. In both examples, conditioning on the common effect imparts an association between two otherwise independent variables; we call this selection bias.

description: Background Cigarette smoking is associated with lower body mass index (BMI), and a commonly cited reason for unwillingness to quit smoking is a concern about weight gain. Common variation in the CHRNA5-CHRNA3-CHRNB4 gene region (chromosome 15q25) is robustly associated with smoking quantity in smokers, but its association with BMI is unknown. We hypothesized that genotype would accurately reflect smoking exposure and that, if smoking were causally related to weight, it would be associated with BMI in smokers, but not in never smokers.Methods We stratified nine European study samples by smoking status and, in each stratum, analysed the association between genotype of the 15q25 SNP, rs1051730, and BMI. We meta-analysed the results (n = 24 198) and then tested for a genotype × smoking status interaction.Results There was no evidence of association between BMI and genotype in the never smokers {difference per T-allele: 0.05 kg/m2 [95% confidence interval (95% CI): −0.05 to 0.18]; P = 0.25}. However, in ever smokers, each additional smoking-related T-allele was associated with a 0.23 kg/m2 (95% CI: 0.13–0.31) lower BMI (P = 8 × 10−6). The effect size was larger in current [0.33 kg/m2 lower BMI per T-allele (95% CI: 0.18–0.48); P = 6 × 10−5], than in former smokers [0.16 kg/m2 (95% CI: 0.03–0.29); P = 0.01]. There was strong evidence of genotype × smoking interaction (P = 0.0001).Conclusions Smoking status modifies the association between the 15q25 variant and BMI, which strengthens evidence that smoking exposure is causally associated with reduced BMI. Smoking cessation initiatives might be more successful if they include support to maintain a healthy BMI.

description: To conduct the direct comparison of abiraterone acetate and docetaxel for first-line treatment of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) in real-life settings. Data were extracted from the French nationwide claims database (SNDS) on all men aged ≥40 years starting first-line treatment with abiraterone acetate or docetaxel for mCRPC in 2014. A high-dimensional propensity score including 100 baseline characteristics was used to match patients of both groups and form two comparative cohorts. Three-year overall survival and treatment discontinuation-free survival were determined using Kaplan–Meier analysis. In 2014, 2,444 patients started abiraterone for treatment of mCRPC and 1,214 started docetaxel. After trimming and matching, 716 patients were available in each group. Median overall survival tended to be longer in the abiraterone acetate cohort (23.8 months, 95% confidence interval = [21.5; 26.0]) than in the docetaxel cohort (20.3 [18.4; 21.6] months). Survival at 36 months was 34.6% for abiraterone acetate and 27.9% for docetaxel (p = 0.0027). Treatment discontinuation-free median was longer in the abiraterone acetate cohort compared to the docetaxel cohort (10.8 [10.1; 11.7] versus 7.4 [7.0; 8.0] months). The findings underline the interest of oral abiraterone acetate over intravenous docetaxel as the first-line treatment option in mCRPC.

description: Background Previous studies suggest an association between obesity and oesophageal (OA) and oesophagogastric junction adenocarcinomas (OGJA). However, these studies have been limited in their ability to assess whether the effects of obesity vary by gender or by the presence of gastro-oesophageal reflux (GERD) symptoms.Methods Individual participant data from 12 epidemiological studies (8 North American, 3 European and 1 Australian) comprising 1997 OA cases, 1900 OGJA cases and 11 159 control subjects were pooled. Logistic regression was used to estimate study-specific odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the association between body mass index (BMI, kg/m2) and the risk of OA and OGJA. Random-effects meta-analysis was used to combine these ORs. We also investigated effect modification and synergistic interaction of BMI with GERD symptoms and gender.Results The association of OA and OGJA increased directly with increasing BMI (P for trend <0.001). Compared with individuals with a BMI <25, BMI ≥40 was associated with both OA (OR 4.76, 95% CI 2.96–7.66) and OGJA (OR 3.07, 95% CI 1.89–4.99). These associations were similar when stratified by gender and GERD symptoms. There was evidence for synergistic interaction between BMI and GERD symptoms in relation to OA/OGJA risk.Conclusions These data indicate that BMI is directly associated with OA and OGJA risk in both men and women and in those with and without GERD symptoms. Disentangling the relationship between BMI and GERD will be important for understanding preventive efforts for OA and OGJA.

description: Background Although generic anti-retroviral drugs are in common use throughout the developing world, studies comparing their clinical effectiveness with that of proprietary formulations are lacking.Methods We analysed observational data from a large cohort of adults on anti-retroviral therapy (ART) to assess potential differences between generic and proprietary zidovudine (ZDV) formulations in post-90-day mortality, ‘programme failure’ (a composite of death, follow-up losses and withdrawals) and other clinical outcomes. We accounted for drug exposure in three ways: an ‘initial dispensation’ approach that categorized patients according to the first prescription; ‘time-varying’ approach that attributed an outcome to the formulation taken at the time of event; and ‘predominant exposure’ approach that considered only those with >75% exposure to either brand or generic ZDV. Proprietary formulations were used as the reference group in all adjusted Cox proportional hazard regressions.Results Among 14 736 patients eligible for analysis, 7277 (49%) initiated a generic formulation of ZDV and 7459 (51%) initiated a proprietary formulation. When categorized according to initial dispensation, no difference in post-90-day mortality was observed between the two groups [adjusted hazard ratio (AHR): 0.93, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.77–1.12]. Similar findings were noted when drug formulation was treated as a time-varying exposure (AHR: 1.15, 95% CI: 0.89–1.48) when analysis was limited to those with a predominant exposure to one formulation or the other (AHR: 0.59, 95% CI: 0.24–1.49). Results were consistent across all approaches when programme failure was considered as an outcome. No longitudinal differences were detected between formulations for CD4 response, weight change and haemoglobin concentration. Generic ZDV formulations were associated with slight decreases in single-drug substitution.Conclusions In this large programmatic cohort of adults starting ZDV-based first-line therapy, clinical outcomes appeared similar among patients on generic or proprietary formulations. These findings support continued use of generic anti-retroviral drug formulations in resource-constrained settings.

Developing Individual Accords: How transgender people negotiate their knowable gender identities, changing bodies, and culture, to live in and alongside the cisnormative gender order
Creators: name: Kelly, Margaret Jean
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2023
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: This study analyses the lived experiences of transgender people who seek to negotiate and develop congruent gender identities within, against and alongside predominantly cisnormative (gender identity matches sex assigned at birth) and binary (male/female) conceptualisations of gender in contemporary Western society. Using the framework of queer sociology and trans identity theory, I employ constructed grounded theory methodology to inform my analysis of 18 interviews with Australian transgender men and women across a broad age range and from diverse socio-economic and geographic locations. In doing so, this study engages with and illuminates the complex process of on-going negotiation involving an individual’s knowable gender identity, gender identity as performed by and embedded in bodies, and gender identity as defined and produced by culture. Such movement means that while transgender participants in this study often use binary and static identity language to describe their experience, they live lives that express cisnormative, transnormative and genderqueer identifications and practices. Participants demonstrate agency by developing individual accords or understandings that honour their knowable gender identity and their complex positionalities in relation to the cisnormative binary gender order. This project thereby sheds light on and expands our understanding of diverse transgender identities by foregrounding how transgender people’s lived experiences of gender identity are relational and contextual. Their lived realities testify to the reductive nature of binaries—whether the nature versus culture binary, cisnormative versus genderqueer, or the stable versus fluid gender identity binary—as a lens for understanding or explaining the production of gender identity. This study reveals that, far from constituting a rigid structure, the cisnormative binary gender order is subtly but routinely managed by transgender people via complex gender practices that demonstrate agency and resistance against its hegemony.

description: In this dissertation I develop three essays on dynamic conditional score (DCS) models for univariate and multivariate models. In the first essay, I focus on a DCS model with a short memory process with changes in regimes for volatility. I also study volatility dynamics in my second essay using score-based copula models with time-varying dependencies with two components. For my last essay, I propose a score-driven multivariate model with factors for the location or mean of a set of macroeconometric variables. All my essays deal with episodes of atypical observations such as the global financial crisis and the recent pandemic.

description: Background Arsenic exposure through drinking water is a serious global health issue. Observational studies suggest that individuals who metabolize arsenic efficiently are at lower risk for toxicities such as arsenical skin lesions. Using two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the 10q24.32 region (near AS3MT) that show independent associations with metabolism efficiency, Mendelian randomization can be used to assess whether the association between metabolism efficiency and skin lesions is likely to be causal.

description: Researchers from the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) programme - Horizon 2020's individual fellowship programme had written to the European Commission's President on 29. April 2020 (https://zenodo.org/record/3779067#.Xw7FHi17E0o). The intent of that letter was to voice researchers' concerns about Horizon 2020's lack of funding to support projects impacted by the covid-19 outbreak and to solicit appropriate support through costed extensions. The present document is European Commissioner for Innovation, Research, Culture, Education and Youth's response on 13th July 2020, who continues to deny costed extensions for fellows whose research was impacted by the covid-19 outbreak, regardless of any circumstances.
Markov Chain Monte Carlo: an introduction for epidemiologists

description: Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods are increasingly popular among epidemiologists. The reason for this may in part be that MCMC offers an appealing approach to handling some difficult types of analyses. Additionally, MCMC methods are those most commonly used for Bayesian analysis. However, epidemiologists are still largely unfamiliar with MCMC. They may lack familiarity either with he implementation of MCMC or with interpretation of the resultant output. As with tutorials outlining the calculus behind maximum likelihood in previous decades, a simple description of the machinery of MCMC is needed. We provide an introduction to conducting analyses with MCMC, and show that, given the same data and under certain model specifications, the results of an MCMC simulation match those of methods based on standard maximum-likelihood estimation (MLE). In addition, we highlight examples of instances in which MCMC approaches to data analysis provide a clear advantage over MLE. We hope that this brief tutorial will encourage epidemiologists to consider MCMC approaches as part of their analytic tool-kit.
All your data are always missing: incorporating bias due to measurement error into the potential outcomes framework

description: Epidemiologists often use the potential outcomes framework to cast causal inference as a missing data problem. Here, we demonstrate how bias due to measurement error can be described in terms of potential outcomes and considered in concert with bias from other sources. In addition, we illustrate how acknowledging the uncertainty that arises due to measurement error increases the amount of missing information in causal inference. We use a simple example to show that estimating the average treatment effect requires the investigator to perform a series of hidden imputations based on strong assumptions.

description: Background: The fundamental problem of causal inference is one of missing data, and specifically of missing potential outcomes: if potential outcomes were fully observed, then causal inference could be made trivially. Though often not discussed explicitly in the epidemiological literature, the connections between causal inference and missing data can provide additional intuition.

description: Background: For men and women, taller height is associated with increased risk of all cancers combined. For colorectal cancer (CRC), it is unclear whether the differential association of height by sex is real or is due to confounding or bias inherent in observational studies. We performed a Mendelian randomization study to examine the association between height and CRC risk.
Assessment of Dairy Production System, Handling, Processing and Utilization Practices in South Ari and Malle District of South Omo Zone, Ethiopia

description: Milk is produced, processed and utilized in different parts of Ethiopia and the majority in rural areas is processed at the household level into milk products using traditional technologies and marketed through informal channels. This study was initiated to assess and describe the traditional knowledge of milk production, handling, processing and utilization practices in South Ari and Malle district. Three dairy potential Kebeles from each district were selected via a purposive sampling procedure. Then, 196 households were selected through a systematic random sampling procedure. Data were collected using a semi-structure questionnaire and analyzed by SPSS (Version 23) software. There was a significant difference (P < 0.05) in livestock composition across the study districts. About 75% in South Ari and 72.9% in Malle have their own grazing land. Feed shortage (73%) and improved breed access (26%) in South Ari, and feed shortage (52.1%), drought (44.8%) in Malle were among the main constraints affecting dairying. About 65% of South Ari used plastic buckets for milking and clay pots for fermentation and churning. In Malle 88.5% used calabash containers for milking, accumulation and churning. The average days of raw milk fermentation before churning in South Ari and Malle were 4.2±0.1 and 2.9±0.0 days. The average butter-making time was 63.4±1.8 minutes in both districts. The amount of milk fermented and butter produced from this fermented milk is significantly different (P < 0.05) across districts. Nearly 95% of South Ari milk is traditionally processed into yogurt, butter, buttermilk and cheese; and used for home consumption and marketing. However, in Malle 72.9% of yogurt and buttermilk processing is used for home consumption; and 26% of butter processing is only used for marketing. It is possibly concluded that dairy production was commonly practiced and it was a good source of income in both districts. Therefore, it is vigorous to support the dairy linkage with extension services by enhancing the input provision.

Modelling recurrent events: a tutorial for analysis in epidemiology
Creators: name: Amorim, Leila DAF

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2015

description: In many biomedical studies, the event of interest can occur more than once in a participant. These events are termed recurrent events. However, the majority of analyses focus only on time to the first event, ignoring the subsequent events. Several statistical models have been proposed for analysing multiple events. In this paper we explore and illustrate several modelling techniques for analysis of recurrent time-to-event data, including conditional models for multivariate survival data (AG, PWP-TT and PWP-GT), marginal means/rates models, frailty and multi-state models. We also provide a tutorial for analysing such type of data, with three widely used statistical software programmes. Different approaches and software are illustrated using data from a bladder cancer project and from a study on lower respiratory tract infection in children in Brazil. Finally, we make recommendations for modelling strategy selection for analysis of recurrent event data.

description: Background: A long-standing epidemiological puzzle is the reduced rate of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in those with schizophrenia (SZ) and vice versa. Traditional epidemiological approaches to determine if this negative association is underpinned by genetic factors would test for reduced rates of one disorder in relatives of the other, but sufficiently powered data sets are difficult to achieve. The genomics era presents an alternative paradigm for investigating the genetic relationship between two uncommon disorders.
