description: Este trabajo pretende estudiar el caso de la representación mediática de un candidato presidencial en medio de una enfermedad, y tiene por metodología realizar una aproximación descriptiva cercana a un análisis de contenido con perspectiva de framing que busca establecer si aumentó el porcentaje positivo de la representación de la figura del candidato en un encuadre de interés humano y de personalización de la política. El caso estará determinado en el tratamiento mediático que dio la prensa nacional al entonces Vicepresidente de la República y actual candidato Presidencial, Germán Se identificó que a medida que la salud de Vargas iba "empeorando" los frames personalistas y de interés humano también fueron creciendo. Vargas Lleras, en momentos de enfermedad, después de haber revelado que tenía un tumor en la cabeza. Para la muestra se escogieron los principales periódicos de circulación Nacional de Colombia, El Tiempo y El Espectador, en los que se buscaron noticias que mencionaran en algún momento al Vicepresidente. La búsqueda se realizó en un periodo de tiempo de cinco meses (diciembre de 2015 - abril de 2016), para ambos diarios.
description: This paper aims to study the case of the media representation of a presidential candidate in the midst of a disease. lt has the methodology to make a descriptive approximation to a content analysis, with framing perspective that seeks to establish whether the positive percentage of the candidate increases in a trame of human interest and personalization of politics. The case will be determined in the media treatment given by the country press to the then Vice President of the Republic and current Presidential candidate, Germán Vargas Lleras, at times of illness, after revealing that he had a tumor on his head. Far the sample, the main newspapers of the National circulation of Colombia, El Tiempo and El Espectador, were selected, in which news that mentioned at sorne point the Vice Presiden!, were sought. The proper search was conducted in a period of five months (December 2015 - April 2016), far both newspapers. lt was identified that as Vargas' health was "worsening" the personalist and human interest trames were also growing.

description: Background. In a previous study, we demonstrated that some essential proteins from pathogenic organisms contained sizable insertions/deletions (indels) when aligned to human proteins of high sequence similarity. Such indels may provide sufficient spatial differences between the pathogenic protein and human proteins to allow for selective targeting. In one example, an indel difference was targeted via large scale in-silico screening. This resulted in selective antibodies and small compounds which were capable of binding to the deletion-bearing essential pathogen protein without any cross-reactivity to the highly similar human protein. The objective of the current study was to investigate whether indels were found more frequently in essential than non-essential proteins. Results We have investigated three species, Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae, for which high-quality protein essentiality data is available. Using these data, we demonstrated with t-test calculations that the mean indel frequencies in essential proteins were greater than that of non-essential proteins in the three proteomes. The abundance of indels in both types of proteins was also shown to be accurately modeled by the Weibull distribution. However, Receiver Operator Characteristic (ROC) curves showed that indel frequencies alone could not be used as a marker to accurately discriminate between essential and non-essential proteins in the three proteomes. Finally, we analyzed the protein interaction data available for S. cerevisiae and observed that indel-bearing proteins were involved in more interactions and had greater betweenness values within Protein Interaction Networks (PINs). Conclusion Overall, our findings demonstrated that indels were not randomly distributed across the studied proteomes and were likely to occur more often in essential proteins and those that were highly connected, indicating a possible role of sequence insertions and deletions in the regulation and modification of protein-protein interactions. Such observations will provide new insights into indel-based drug design using bioinformatics and cheminformatics tools.

description: Business Process Management Systems (BPMS) are attracting much attention these days as core tools for process management. A BPMS consists of several modules including Business Activity Monitoring (BAM), which evaluates the performance of processes. Although measuring the performance of business processes is based on organizational goals and the impact of processes on such goals is an important aspect of the process evaluation, most of the existing BPMS do not offer appropriate capabilities. Several process improvements and quality methodologies have also been around for some time. Most of them, however, are based on statistical and management tools that are not integrated with current technologies including BPMS. In other words, the management and quality disciplines have not yet evolved to take full advantage of current technologies that can enhance process improvement efforts. One of the pitfalls here is the failure to use the information generated by different information systems dispersed across the organization to evaluate the impact of processes on their goals. In this thesis, we use the User Requirements Notation (URN) in a methodology for evaluating business processes against organizational goals. Although URN enables the modeling of processes and goals, its process monitoring capabilities need enhancements and we will address this issue by extending URN. In addition, we propose a methodology that exploits the new capabilities of URN for process analysis and improvement. Unlike other quality methodologies, the methodology and supporting tool proposed are capable of using different sources of information to measure the performance of modeled processes and evaluate their impact on the goal models. The new capabilities and their benefits are illustrated through examples from the healthcare domain.

Por el contrario en los impuestos de autoliquidación, el sujeto pasivo es quien fija la suma de que es deudor, en cumplimiento de un deber de carácter tributario. Lo mencionado tiene significativa importancia en el ámbito tributario de las entidades territoriales, toda vez que en los impuestos de los departamentos, distritos y municipios existen los dos tipos de tributos, a diferencia de lo que ocurre con el sistema tributario de la Nación donde todos los impuestos funcionan a través del sistema de declaración privada o autoliquidación, punto de partida del procedimiento establecido en el Estatuto Tributario Nacional.

description: El Departamento para la Prosperidad Social-DPS- es la entidad del gobierno colombiano encargada de la superación de la pobreza y apoyo a la población vulnerable y víctimas del conflicto. Sin embargo, a pesar de sus funciones tan significativas para el desarrollo del país y de ser una entidad que puede ser protagonista en la etapa del posconflicto, la opinión pública desconoce su labor. Por esta razón, en este trabajo se buscó realizar una evaluación de su estrategia de comunicaciones para hacer un diagnóstico y análisis de la misma. El análisis se hizo teniendo en cuenta la Teoría de la Difusión de Innovaciones de Everett Rogers que plantea la importancia de los canales de comunicación y los individuos de un sistema social. Además de esto se analizó un grupo de jóvenes beneficiarios de la entidad para tener un acercamiento a sus intereses y comunicaciones. En el transcurso de evaluación se pudo encontrar la ausencia de una estrategia de comunicaciones por lo que se hizo un análisis de las acciones en comunicaciones que ha desarrollado la entidad a lo largo de su historia para luego proponer una estrategia formal de comunicaciones que sirva para posicionarla y mejorar su reputación.
description: The Department for Social Prosperity is the entity of the Colombian government in charge of overcoming poverty and supporting the vulnerable population as well as the victims of armed conflict in the country. However, in spite of the significance of its activities in supporting the country's development and the fact that it can play an important role in the postconflict stage, the public is not aware of its work. This is why this paper sought to evaluate the DPS's communications strategy, make a diagnosis and analyze it. The analysis was made using Everett Rogers' Diffusion of Innovations Theory that focuses on the importance of communication channels and members of a social system to spread information. Additionally, a group ofyoung beneficiaries from DPS's programs were interviewed to have a better understanding of their interests and analyze the communication channels. During the evaluation stage, it became apparent that there was an absence of a communications strategy. An analysis was made ofthe communications activities that DPS has developed throughout its history in order to propose a formal communications strategy that will be useful in promoting the institution's activities and in improving its reputation among its millions of beneficiaries.

Bearing fault detection and oil debris monitoring by adaptive noise cancellation
Creators: name: Wang, Raymond Yi-Wen
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Engineering, Mechanical.

description: Bearing fault detection is critical in preventing machine failure and ensuring machine is operating in optimal condition. However, the monitored bearing vibration signal is often corrupted by interference signals from other sources in the machine. Adaptive noise canceller can be used to extract the bearing signal from the corrupting interference signals, thus enable bearing fault detection. Adaptive noise canceller utilizing least mean square algorithm is also suitable for on-line monitoring because of its computational efficiency. The effectiveness of the adaptive noise canceller is controlled by its operating parameters: the transversal filter length and the step-size parameter. This thesis establishes the criteria in determining the proper operating parameters. The Akaike information criterion is used to obtain the transversal filter length because of the adaptive noise canceller's autoregressive structure. The adaptive filter weight fluctuations affect the performance of the adaptive noise canceller. The misadjustment positively correlates to the filter weight fluctuations. A small misadjustment value can be used to obtain the required step-size parameter to ensure the satisfactory performance of the adaptive noise canceller. A procedure to achieve zero settling time in on-line monitoring under the stationary environment is also illustrated in this thesis. Simulation and experiments are performed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the adaptive noise canceller in bearing signal extraction. Inductive oil debris monitoring sensor is used to detect metal particles in the lubricating oil. However, the sensor is affected by the interfering vibration signal and the metal particle signatures can no longer be correctly detected from the resulting mixed signal. In order to obtain reliable metal particle counts and sizes, it is critical that the interfering vibration signal is removed. The metal particle signal in the oil debris monitoring signal is non-periodic and can be considered a broadband signal. Thus a special form of the adaptive noise canceller which does not require a separate reference input source can be used. A delay is incorporated to the collected signal to derive the reference input. A delay value longer than the length of the characteristic output signal sampling units is needed to achieve the decorrelation between the metal particle signal in the primary input and the metal particle signal in the reference input. The criteria to determine the operating parameters established in bearing fault detection application can also be implemented in oil debris monitoring application. Simulation and experiments are performed to verify that the adaptive noise canceller can effectively remove the interfering periodic signals and reveal the metal particle signal from the corrupted signal.

description: Mechanical ventilation is commonly used for environmental thermal regulation inside closed-field agricultural production systems. Analyzing the air distribution inside these facilities and the correct operation of the fans can be a challenging. This could be determined using cost prohibitive techniques as particle image velocimetry or deploying large wind sensors networks on-site. To avoid this limitation without a lack of measurement accuracy, this research was focused on developing and test a low-cost anemometer network based in low cost propeller’s anemometers, built using fused 3D-printed and open-hardware platforms. Four propeller anemometers with three to six blades were simulated using the 6-DOF method of ANSYS computer fluid dynamics software. Similar results were obtained for all the simulated models with minor differences. Anemometers were tested in an open circuit wind tunnel before to be evaluated in two open compost dairy barn building using high-volume low-speed and low-volume high-speed fans. Data were analyzed by employing contour maps, descriptive statistics and correlation. The results show that the anemometer network determines the fan’s wind profile for wind speeds over 0.7 m s-1 and it was possible to determine the facilities spots with ventilation problems. The proposed anemometer network and methodology are a good alternative to analyze the operating conditions of the tested agricultural facilities and optimize its performance.

title: Enacting telecare 'at scale'
title: A study of care, cuts and boundary making practices

Publisher: name: Lancaster University

description: This study was set in the context of an English local authority’s ambition to expand telecare use at a time when resources were rationed, demographic demands were rising and technologies of care, despite evidential uncertainties, were increasingly seen as potential care ‘solutions’. My ethnographic approach was multi-sited, had depth as well as breadth, and involved observation of installations, document analysis, in-depth interviewing, shadowing care assessments and the work of control centre staff, as well as examining call data. Telecare was provided ‘at scale’ and celebrated as an accomplishment, but telecare and scale are considered here as multiple, only coming into being through complex material-discursive practices and multifaceted entanglements of people, feelings and things. My thesis disturbs and unsettles the celebratory account, highlighting hidden frictions and tensions that emerged along the way. Although I found collaboration and co-operation for some, ‘person-centred-tele-care’ was always in the making, and for some it was hardly made at all. Telecare’s intelligent, automatic fall detection systems, were also not that stable nor predictable, failing to concede fully to the social and technological ideal with older people’s personal care needs not always addressed as envisaged in the care planning process. I draw on Barad’s agential realist ideas, particularly her notion of ‘agential cuts’ and boundary making practices, attending not only to matters of fact, matters of concern, matters of care, but also to matters of ethics and consequence. The focus on at-scale provision, I argue, obscures telecare’s complexities and contingencies and creates more scale, more uncertainty and more indeterminacy. Telecare at- scale provision also diverts attention, ambition and aspiration away from more creative human and non-human centred care alternatives. In my thesis I try to re-imagine a future for care, for older people, particularly for those living alone, with or without the use of telecare.

description: Heated mountain slopes sometimes vent air pollutants out of the boundary layer over the slope top and at other times trap pollutants in closed circulations. Field, numerical, and water tank studies of fair weather atmospheric conditions over complex terrain have shown more complicated vertical distributions of temperature, moisture, and aerosols than over horizontal terrain. To study these phenomena, we analyze flow fields, densities, and dye distributions in a bottom-heated salt-stratified water tank over a 19° slope with adjacent plain and plateau and compare with field and numerical model data. Vertical layering of dye results from upslope and plain-plateau circulations. The thermal boundary layer (TBL, the bottom layer up to neutral buoyancy height), coincides with the lower branches of these circulations. The return flow branches form elevated layers (EL) with properties intermediate between the TBL and environmental background. As heating continues, the TBL rapidly entrains the ELs, leading to deeper circulations with new ELs at greater heights. Field data suggest that successive formation and entrainment of ELs occurs at multiple scales in the atmosphere. If the aerosol loading of an EL is too high to distinguish it from the underlying TBL on lidar backscatter scans, then both layers and the associated closed circulation appear embedded in one deep backscatter boundary layer. The findings suggest defining the atmospheric boundary layer in complex terrain on the diurnal heating timescale rather than the commonly used 1-hour timescale, which is more appropriate for flat terrain. We discuss conditions leading to venting versus trapping of air pollutants. An edited version of this paper was published by AGU. Copyright 2007 American Geophysical Union.

description: Para estudiar la comunicación de la Corte Constitucional en sus diferentes niveles externo e interinstitucional, es importante hacerlo desde su propio ámbito que es el jurídico; complementándolo con una observación de las diferentes oportunidades que se han venido presentando en su historia. Situaciones que aunque permiten evidenciar que el tribunal constitucional aunque no tenga una función comunicacional establecida por la Carta Política, está la desarrolla en virtud de su reglamentación interna. Hecho que hizo que para conocer una visión de cómo ha sido su manejo en todo este tiempo de existencia del órgano constitucional, se estimó que la mejor forma para hacerlo era acudiendo a la realización de una serie de entrevistas a profundidad a personal relacionado con el tribunal, líderes de opinión y periodistas que constituyen los públicos objetivos definidos para el presente trabajo. Trabajo de campo que sirvió tanto para encontrar las razones por las cuales la comunicación de la Corte Constitucional no solamente no están visible e influyente. como para tener en cuenta una serie de sugerencias dadas por los entrevistados, que finalmente quedaran en la propuesta que con esta investigación se le está dando a conocer a la opinión pública y académica.

description: Les changements contemporains obligent l'université à redéfinir ses missions et à relever divers défis. À travers le monde, cette organisation vit des problématiques liées aux méthodes d'enseignement, aux styles d'apprentissage et aux usages pédagogiques des Technologies de l'Information et de la Communication (TIC). Cependant, la recension des écrits révèle un manque flagrant d'études qualitatives interprétatives réalisées in situ et impliquant les acteurs1 des écoles de formation à l'enseignement secondaire du Cameroun. Cette realité compromet l'évolution des connaissances scientifiques dans le champ des pédagogies universitaires. Afin de déterminer des pistes de résolution des problèmes liés aux défis des universités et remédier au manque des recherches constate, il s'avère nécessaire d'explorer les representations sociales des acteurs de l'ENS (École normale supérieure) de Yaounde et de l'ENSET (École normale supérieure d'enseignement technique) de Douala. Notre question principale de recherche se lit: Quels sont les facteurs qui facilitent l'implantation de l'apprentissage en ligne dans les écoles normales supérieures camerounaises selon les administrateurs, les enseignants et les étudiants de ces établissements ? Comme réfèrents conceptuels, cette recherche considère: trois propositions d'implantation des changements, deux modèles pédagogiques, et plusieurs modèles de facteurs influençant les innovations technopédagogiques. Elle adopte une démarche à la fois systémique, qualitative/interprétative intégrant la méthode des cas. Une stratégie d'échantillonnage par saturation permet d'inviter des acteurs de terrain à participer aux entretiens semi-diriges. L'ensemble des participants comprend: quatre administrateurs, quatre enseignants et trois groupes d'étudiants de l'ENSET; six administrateurs et trois groupes étudiants de l'ENS. La reconstitution interprétative des représentations recueillies laisse émerger six catégories de facteurs facilitant l'apprentissage en ligne, que nous situons selon les échelles macro, meso et micro du système de formation innovant. Un schéma illustré une vision globale des facteurs déterminés et par ce fait, il indique des moyens pour relever les défis des universités en regard des composantes du contexte. Quant à la complexité de l'apprentissage en ligne et à l'état des lieux étudiés, cette proposition reste ouverte à toute modification pouvant renforcer sa contribution scientifique. 1Afin d'alléger le texte, dans cette thèse, le genre masculin désigne toute personne.

La investigación consulta a las notas publicadas en la versión fisica de los dos periódicos de circulación nacional más grandes del país, "El Tiempo" y "El Espectador''. El análisis se desarrolla a través del contenido de 426 noticias, en donde el principal hallazgo de la investigación muestra que los dos periódicos presentan un encuadre positivo de negociaciones de paz y no de conflicto. El encuadre de participación y representación, alude que tanto la guerra como las negociaciones de paz son procesos de hombres; y que la mujer no participa como sujeto político. Los periódicos también reproducen estructuras de género en relación a la violencia y las víctimas. Las víctimas presentadas son en su mayoría hombres, pero sus historias parecen estar contadas por mujeres. Las mujeres entonces, no son actores activos; sino espectadores y testigos inactivos del conflicto.

Update and transaction processing in peer data sharing systems
Creators: name: Masud, Md. Mehedi
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: Computer Science.

description: Our thesis investigates an update exchange mechanism in data sharing systems. In these systems, databases in peers are created independently and may have semantic inter-dependencies with regards to data. Therefore, each peer specifies pair-wise mappings with other peers for sharing and exchanging related data. The mappings express how data in one peer relate to data in another peer. In our thesis, we first define settings for sharing and exchanging related data in a data sharing system, and then we discuss an update exchange semantics considering these settings. The update exchange models how changes made to a peer's instance are applied to the peer's local database instance and then propagated to related peers for maintaining data consistency in data sharing systems. The propagation is subject to transformations of the updates wrt the schema and data vocabularies (i.e., constants and relation naines) of the related peers, and the results of the updates are consistent wrt the defined data sharing settings. Second, we propose an update translation strategy between a peer and its acquainted peers. The translation strategy first filters those updates from consideration that are ineligible for execution at the acquainted peers. During the translation, the locally expressed updates are transformed in terms of the schema of acquainted peers. Moreover, the translation ensures that insertions, deletions, and modifications of the tuples made by an update in a peer and by the translated version of the update in an acquainted peer are related through the mappings between both peers. The translation is performed by considering the mappings between peers and through a syntactic analysis of update operations. Third, we investigate an update conflict detection and resolution mechanism during the propagation of updates. Fourth, we investigate the processing of transactions in a data sharing system. We mainly focus on how to maintain a consistent execution view of concurrent transactions in peers without a global transaction coordinator. For this purpose, we investigate potential problems that arise when maintaining a consistent execution of concurrent transactions. In order to guarantee consistent execution, we introduce a correctness criteria and propose two approaches, namely the Merged Transactions method and the Ticket method. We assume that one single peer initiates the concurrent transactions. In this thesis, we also discuss the architecture and functionalities of a simulation tool, called PDST, that we developed for simulating large peer data sharing systems. We evaluate our proposed strategies using this tool.

While useful in clinical practice, patients taking GCs often suffer from skeletal side effects including growth retardation in children and adolescents, and decreased bone quality in adults. On a physiological level, GCs have been implicated in the regulation of chondrogenesis and osteoblast differentiation, as well as maintaining homeostasis in cartilage and bone. We identified the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) as a potential regulator of chondrocyte hypertrophy in a microarray screen of primary limb bud mesenchyme micromass cultures. Some targets of GC regulation in chondrogenesis are known, but the global effects of pharmacological GC doses on chondrocyte gene expression have not been comprehensively evaluated. Results This study systematically identifies a spectrum of GC target genes in embryonic growth plate chondrocytes treated with a synthetic GR agonist, dexamethasone (DEX), at 6 and 24 hrs. Conventional analysis of this data set and gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) was performed. Transcripts associated with metabolism were enriched in the DEX condition along with extracellular matrix genes. In contrast, a subset of growth factors and cytokines were negatively correlated with DEX treatment. Comparing DEX-induced gene expression data to developmental changes in gene expression in micromass cultures revealed an additional layer of complexity in which DEX maintains the expression of certain chondrocyte marker genes while inhibiting factors that promote vascularization and ultimately ossification of the cartilaginous template. Conclusion Together, these results provide insight into the mechanisms and major molecular classes functioning downstream of DEX in primary chondrocytes. In addition, comparison of our data with microarray studies of DEX treatment in other cell types demonstrated that the majority of DEX effects are tissue-specific. This study provides novel insights into the effects of pharmacological GC on chondrocyte gene transcription and establishes the foundation for subsequent functional studies.

description: Codon usage bias is due to a combination of biased mutation and selection effects. Isochore-related GC mutational bias has been shown to be the dominant cause of tissue-specific codon bias in adult human tissues and limited evidence for translational selection has been shown. This thesis is a comprehensive evaluation of the relative contribution of selection and mutation to variation in codon usage among different mouse embryonic tissues. Through a detailed analysis of tissue-specific codon usage in relation to gene expression and gene location of mouse embryonic tissue-specific genes, I found that translational selection is partially responsible for some differences in codon usage among tissue-specific genes. This observation indicates profound impact of selection favouring codon-anticodon adaptation. The characteristic GC biases of tissue-specific gene sets are shown not to be caused by their clustering on the same isochore. Tissue-specific genes are no more clustered on the genome than randomly selected genes. In mouse, the usage of some G-ending codons decreases with increasing GC bias, while all other G and C-ending codons increase. To understand this counterintuitive observation, we generate a continuous-time Markov chain model of GC-biased synonymous substitution which explains qualitative usage patterns of all codons, including non-linear and sometimes non-monotone codon usage in isoleucine, arginine and leucine. This effect is universal, extending to mouse and human genes as well as plant and prokaryotic genomes. This work enriched our understanding of the codon-anticodon adaptation theory and extended it to the level of tissue-specific genes. The result suggests the possibility of tissue-specific tRNA pools mediating tissue-specific codon-anticodon adaptation. The methods developed in the thesis can be easily extended to characterize this previously little explored facet of codon-anticodon adaptation.

description: Background: RNA viruses have been isolated that infect marine organisms ranging from bacteria to whales, but little is known about the composition and population structure of the in situ marine RNA virus community. In a recent study, the majority of three genomes of previously unknown positive-sense single-stranded (ss) RNA viruses were assembled from reverse-transcribed whole-genome shotgun libraries. The present contribution comparatively analyzes these genomes with respect to representative viruses from established viral taxa. Results: Two of the genomes (JP-A and JP-B), appear to be polycistronic viruses in the proposed order Picornavirales that fall into a well-supported clade of marine picorna-like viruses, the characterized members of which all infect marine protists. A temporal and geographic survey indicates that the JP genomes are persistent and widespread in British Columbia waters. The third genome, SOG, encodes a putative RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) that is related to the RdRp of viruses in the family Tombusviridae, but the remaining SOG sequence has no significant similarity to any sequences in the NCBI database. Conclusion: The complete genomes of these viruses permitted analyses that resulted in a more comprehensive comparison of these pathogens with established taxa. For example, in concordance with phylogenies based on the RdRp, our results support a close homology between JP-A and JP-B and RsRNAV. In contrast, although classification of the SOG genome based on the RdRp places SOG within the Tombusviridae, SOG lacks a capsid and movement protein conserved within this family and SOG is thus likely more distantly related to the Tombusivridae than the RdRp phylogeney indicates.

description: Background: Systematic reviews (SRs) are increasingly viewed as useful decision-making tools yet the extent of SR publication bias is under-explored. Through my thesis, I aimed to investigate the extent of SR publication bias. Methods: A conceptual model was derived from literature searches and one-on-one interviews and three studies were conducted: a cross-sectional study of 296 SRs indexed in MEDLINE and published in November 2004, an international survey of 625 corresponding or first authors of a published SR in 2005, and a retrospective cohort study of 411 Cochrane protocols from Issues 2-4, 2000 and Issue 1,2001 that were followed until Issue 1,2008 in The Cochrane Library. Main findings: The interviewees reported 40 unpublished SRs and the conceptual model showed that publication bias can permeate all steps of the publication process, from conceptualization to ultimate effect on health outcomes. The cross-sectional study identified favourable results in 57.7% of Cochrane reviews and 64.3% of non-Cochrane reviews with a meta-analysis of the primary outcome and non-Cochrane reviews were twice as likely to have positive conclusions as Cochrane reviews (p-value≤0.05). In the international survey, participants reported 1405 published (median: 2.0, range: 1-150) and 199 unpublished (median: 2.0, range: 1-53) SRs. In the retrospective cohort study, 19.1% (71/372) of eligible Cochrane protocols remained unpublished and the median time to publication was 2.4 years (range: 0.15-8.96). A shorter time to publication was associated with the Cochrane review being subsequently updated versus not updated (n=100/372 Cochrane reviews that were updated, hazard ratio: 1.80 [95% confidence interval: 1.39-2.33 years]) and a longer time to publication was associated with the Cochrane review having two published versus one protocol (n=10/372 Cochrane reviews with two published protocols, 0.33 [0.12-0.90 years]). General conclusions: Over 300 unpublished SRs were identified through the interviews conducted for the conceptual model and the three studies that comprised my thesis. Possible solutions for minimizing or avoiding SR publication bias include registration of SRs at inception, educating the research community about the importance of publishing SRs, and having a general online open-access journal with rapid peer review that is dedicated to only publishing the results of SRs (including their updates).
