Gender dynamics in the management of commercial and public biotechnology organisations
Creators: name: Pickering, Janine Fay
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Data from 30 Australian biotech organisations reveal no significant difference in pay or responsibilities between male and female managers in the commercial sector. By comparison, academic biotech is characterised by vertical segregation with female managers concentrated in lower level management positions. Interviews suggest the organisation of work and career advancement opportunities in commercial biotech are more accommodating of working mothers, an outcome that is primarily productivity-driven. This suggests public biotech organisations seeking to improve gender equity should re-examine how productivity is defined and evaluated, rather than focusing on 'family friendly' policies to accommodate women in existing patterns of work.
A case study of the Marine Pioneer, investigating local natural resource management and natural capital valuation
Creators: name: WILLS, BETHENEY
Publisher: name: University of Surrey
Year: 2020

description: This research is a case study of the Marine Pioneer, a UK government pilot run by the Department for the Environment Food and Rural Affairs and associated with the cross-department 25-Year Environment Plan to restore nature. The Marine Pioneer was located at two sites in North Devon and Suffolk. The purpose of the research is to investigate the effects of testing local-scale governance alongside the experimental implementation of the Natural Capital Approach in the Marine Pioneer. To explore the intersection between local governance and the use of the Natural Capital Approach the following questions are considered:
description: 1. Are the participants of the Marine Pioneer achieving co-management? If so, how?
description: 2. How was the Natural Capital Approach tested in the Marine Pioneer?
description: 3. What are participants’ perceptions of the use of the Natural Capital Approach in the Pioneer?
description: The research uses several qualitative methods including interviews, participant observation and Participatory System Mapping. Research participants represent multiple scales and sectors and include national decision-makers (Group 1), Marine Pioneer steering group members (Group 2) and local conservation group members (Group 3). The research findings reveal that UK marine governance displays a hierarchical structure with multiple political constraints which inhibit experimentation and adaptive management. Groups 2 and 3 worked in collaboration to undertake set asks but beyond this they also engaged in double-loop feedback learning to consider the assumptions and constraints in UK marine governance and to identify ways to increase adaptability and resilience. This thesis provides a novel contribution to the field of natural resource management, with precise application to the use of the Natural Capital Approach at a local scale and the importance of supporting local governance, knowledge and values. In addition to academic application the research is policy relevant, with recommendations for future use of local decision-making, the Natural Capital Approach and pilots.

title: The Hidden Cost of Industrialization: Reflections on the Emergence and Reproduction of the African Industrial Working Class in Southern Africa
Creators: name: Higginson, John
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 1992

description: This paper amounts to a series of discursive reflections on why industrial capitalism has assumed the shape that it did in southern Africa- and in South Africa particularly-during the two generations before the commencement of struggles for political independence in Africa. It is far from the last word on the subject. However, it tries to draw attention to an historiographical problem which has remained undeservedly submerged in recent works: the relationship between the labor process-what Marx often referred to as the "hidden abode" of industrial capitalism-and the social reproduction of the industrial workforce.

Rinne test: does the tuning fork position affect the sound amplitude at the ear?
Creators: name: Butskiy, Oleksandr
name: Ng, Denny
name: Hodgson, Murray
name: Nunez, Desmond A
Publisher: name: BioMed Central
Year: 2016

description: Background: Guidelines and text-book descriptions of the Rinne test advise orienting the tuning fork tines in parallel with the longitudinal axis of the external auditory canal (EAC), presumably to maximise the amplitude of the air conducted sound signal at the ear. Whether the orientation of the tuning fork tines affects the amplitude of the sound signal at the ear in clinical practice has not been previously reported. The present study had two goals: determine if (1) there is clinician variability in tuning fork placement when presenting the air-conduction stimulus during the Rinne test; (2) the orientation of the tuning fork tines, parallel versus perpendicular to the EAC, affects the sound amplitude at the ear. Methods To assess the variability in performing the Rinne test, the Canadian Society of Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery members were surveyed. The amplitudes of the sound delivered to the tympanic membrane with the activated tuning fork tines held in parallel, and perpendicular to, the longitudinal axis of the EAC were measured using a Knowles Electronics Mannequin for Acoustic Research (KEMAR) with the microphone of a sound level meter inserted in the pinna insert. Results 47.4 and 44.8 % of 116 survey responders reported placing the fork parallel and perpendicular to the EAC respectively. The sound intensity (sound-pressure level) recorded at the tympanic membrane with the 512 Hz tuning fork tines in parallel with as opposed to perpendicular to the EAC was louder by 2.5 dB (95 % CI: 1.35, 3.65 dB; p < 0.0001) for the fundamental frequency (512 Hz), and by 4.94 dB (95 % CI: 3.10, 6.78 dB; p < 0.0001) and 3.70 dB (95 % CI: 1.62, 5.78 dB; p = .001) for the two harmonic (non-fundamental) frequencies (1 and 3.15 kHz), respectively. The 256 Hz tuning fork in parallel with the EAC as opposed to perpendicular to was louder by 0.83 dB (95 % CI: −0.26, 1.93 dB; p = 0.14) for the fundamental frequency (256 Hz), and by 4.28 dB (95 % CI: 2.65, 5.90 dB; p < 0.001) and 1.93 dB (95 % CI: 0.26, 3.61 dB; p = .02) for the two harmonic frequencies (500 and 4 kHz) respectively. Conclusions Clinicians vary in their orientation of the tuning fork tines in relation to the EAC when performing the Rinne test. Placement of the tuning fork tines in parallel as opposed to perpendicular to the EAC results in a higher sound amplitude at the level of the tympanic membrane.

The Potential Use of Hydrological Neutron Sensor Networks for Space Weather Monitoring

Publisher: name: University of Surrey
Year: 2024
Subjects: Space weather
Ground level enhancements
Solar energetic particles
Cosmic ray neutron sensing
Cosmic rays

description: Space weather poses a multitude of hazards to human infrastructure and activities on Earth and in space. One such hazard is atmospheric radiation induced by relativistic solar energetic particles. Atmospheric radiation is of particular concern for aviation, as it damages the biological tissue of passengers and crew, and can cause upsets in avionic systems. The risk is greatly increased during the Ground Level Enhancements (GLE) caused by space weather. Monitoring atmospheric radiation levels is fundamental to mitigating the risk posed by this hazard. There are very few radiation detectors on board aircraft, and monitoring efforts rely heavily on the ground level neutron monitor network. This is a relatively sparse network of detectors ( 50 worldwide) which measure changes in the ground level nucleonic radiation flux. The Cosmic Ray Neutron Sensing (CRNS) method measures soil moisture using small neutron detectors positioned above the soil. There are over 200 such detectors worldwide, including 50 in the UK network alone (COSMOS-UK). The objective of this work is to develop an understanding of how these detectors respond to energetic particles in space and predict how detectors and networks would respond to a GLE. The data from COSMOS-UK has been analysed and signatures of cosmic ray modulation have been identified. No GLEs have been observed, but none have occurred during the lifetime of the network which were of sufficient intensity to be detectable. Additionally, an approximate correction factor for soil moisture was developed, and an indoor CRNS detector station was set up in Guildford, UK. This station is also shown to be able to observe cosmic ray modulation. The response functions of the CRS 2000/B detectors have been calculated, and the models validated against experimental data. The yield function of these detectors have also been calculated and used to successfully predict the long term trend in of COSMOS-UK detectors. Finally, the response of a hypothetical world-wide CRNS network to historical GLEs has been calculated. This demonstrates that CRNS detectors can be used to monitor space weather, particularly GLEs.

Gino Marinuzzi Jr.: Critical Editions of his Piano Music
Creators: name: Rubini, Rossella
Publisher: name: University of Surrey
Year: 2023

description: This thesis sheds light on the piano work of the composer Gino Marinuzzi Jr. (1920-1996), who lived an intense artistic life in Rome. Well known as a teacher of composition, he also became a pioneer in electronic music and a prolific screen music composer. He never dismissed his background as a classical music writer. Today, however, many of Marinuzzi’s works are either unpublished, out of print, or in need of correction; equally, his output is only partially recorded. Furthermore, biographical literature surrounding the composer remains incomplete.

description:

description: I address this gap by producing a critical edition of four of his piano works; I then outline my methodological approach and identify the challenges of my research. I also present a short biography of Marinuzzi and a brief account of his works in the context of post-war Italy. Further, I contribute to the dissemination of Marinuzzi’s outputs by recording some of his piano works, following an initial release in 2012 of the CD Gino Marinuzzi Piano Works (Tactus).

description:

description: This study will contribute to the understanding of Gino Marinuzzi Jr. and the context of his work. It aims to recognise his role within the history of music, and to identify the importance of his contribution within the development of Italian music after WWII. The outcome of my research represents a sound foundation for further work and could be useful to performers, academics and anyone interested in the culture of post-war Italy.

description: The thermal stability and identification of decomposition products of formamidinium organic based precursors and hybrid perovskite materials have been investigated under inert atmosphere at constant heating rate and pulsed heating steps under illumination/dark conditions.[1] As in the previous case studied for methylammonium based precursors and perovskites, the thermogravimetry technique coupled to quadrupole mass spectrometry allows to draw interesting insights about the thermal stability of these hybrid perovskite materials allowing forecasts towards their operational stability working as light harvester material in photovoltaic devices. In this talk, we compare and review the different results obtained in four recent articles in the topic of decomposition products determination for formamidinium based perovskite paying special attention to the HCN release. We will discuss general tenets and beliefs misleading on the topic of stability of perovskite materials and finally, we will propose an operational stability test for perovskite solar cells without consensus.

description: Objective: We sought to estimate the change in viral suppression prevalence if homelessness were eliminated from a population of HIV-infected people who use drugs (PWUD). Design: Community-recruited prospective cohort of HIV-infected PWUD in Vancouver, Canada. Behavioral information was collected at baseline and linked to a province-wide HIV/AIDS treatment database. The primary outcome was viral suppression (<50 copies/mL) measured during subsequent routine clinical care. Methods: We employed an imputation-based marginal modelling approach. First, we used modified Poisson regression to obtain effect estimates (adjusting for sociodemographics, substance use, addiction treatment, and other confounders). Then, we imputed an outcome probability for each individual while manipulating the exposure (homelessness). Population viral suppression prevalence under realized and “housed” scenarios were obtained by averaging these probabilities across the population. Bootstrapping was conducted to calculate 95% confidence limits. Results: Of 706 individuals interviewed between January 2005 and December 2015, the majority was male (66.0%), of Caucasian race/ethnicity (55.1%), and had a history of injection (93.6%). At first study visit, 223 (31.6%) reported recent homelessness, and 37.8% were subsequently identified as virally suppressed. Adjusted marginal models estimated a 15.1% relative increase (95%CI: 9.0%, 21.7%) in viral suppression in the entire population—to 43.5% (95%CI: 39.4%, 48.2%)—if all homeless individuals were housed. Among those homeless, eliminating this exposure would increase viral suppression from 22.0% to 40.1% (95%CI: 35.1%, 46.1%), an 82.3% relative increase. Conclusions: Interventions to house homeless, HIV-positive individuals who use drugs could significantly increase population viral suppression. Such interventions should be implemented as a part of renewed HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment efforts.
An Online Compassionate Imagery Intervention for Veterinarian Mental Health: A Feasibility Study
Creators: name: WAKELIN, KATHERINE ELIZABETH
Publisher: name: University of Surrey
Year: 2021

description: Amongst veterinarian professions there is a high prevalence of psychological distress. However, limited studies have investigated the effectiveness of psychological interventions on veterinarian populations. Evidence suggests that Compassion-Focused interventions are effective at reducing psychological distress, particularly in those with high self-criticism. The aim of this study was to investigate the feasibility and preliminary effectiveness of a two-week online compassionate imagery intervention in a veterinarian sample. A one-group repeated measures design was used with a sample of 128 veterinarians (81% Female, 70.3% Qualified Veterinary Surgeons, 29.7% Students, Mean Age= 32). Participants completed measures of perfectionism, resilience, work-related rumination, self-criticism, self-reassurance and fears of compassion at a two-week baseline, pre-intervention, post-intervention and at a two-week follow-up. Participants qualitatively answered written questions about their intervention experience post-intervention. A reason for dropout questionnaire was sent to participants who disengaged. Content analysis of the qualitative data found the intervention to be acceptable and beneficial to participants. However, overall study attrition was 50.8%. The occurrence of personal demands and Corona Virus Disease (COVID-19) were reported as explanations for attrition. Minimal differences were found between participants who dropped out compared to those who completed the study. Perfectionism, work-related rumination and self-criticism significantly reduced over the intervention duration and maintained effects at follow-up, indicating suitability of such measures and potential effectiveness. Unlike other variables, fears of compassion reduced over the baseline period and intervention duration, questioning the validity of the FCS measure. Resilience and self-reassurance remained unchanged. Overall, in context of the unprecedented eruption of COVID-19, the intervention showed impressive feasibility and preliminary effectiveness. However results are limited by a one-group design and the occurrence of the pandemic. Continued feasibility research to establish lower attrition rates is recommended before progression to randomised controlled trial research is considered.

description: Falls man nach der homosexuellen Gemeinschaft in Vientiane sucht, ist dies wahrscheinlich ein schweres Unterfangen, und während ich durch die geschäftigen und holprigen Straßen der provinziell anmutenden Stadt lief, fragte ich mich, in was für Formen sich homosexuelles Leben hier aus- drücken würde. Die Berichte, die ich vor meiner Ankunft zu Ohren bekam, waren zwiespältig und oberflächlich.

Disentangling the role of Ascaris β-tubulin isotypes in the emergence of anthelmintic resistance
Creators: name: Jones, Ben Paul
Publisher: name: University of Surrey
Year: 2023

description: As of 2019 there were nearly 500,000 people infected with Ascaris, and in pigs Ascaris infection is also a global issue. With the high use of a limited number of drugs to combat ascariasis the development of resistance is always a worry. This work focused on trying to understand the potential for the development of anthelmintic resistance in Ascaris.

description:

description: By surveying British pig farms and using national post-mortem datasets this work has highlighted differences in Ascaris suum prevalence across Britain that may be associated with region and rearing methods.

description:

description: This study characterised the repertoire of Ascaris β-tubulins and investigated the roles they play in the development of benzimidazole resistance. Using experimental and transcriptomic data the expression profiles of multiple β-tubulin genes were determined to highlight the isotypes most likely to play a role in benzimidazole mechanisms of action.

description:

description: Genetic screening of these isotypes from Ascaris samples across the world showed that none possessed the resistance-associated mutations typically seen in benzimidazole resistant nematodes.

description:

description: Using in silico simulations this work showed how mutations in β-tubulins can alter drug interactions and potentially lead to benzimidazole resistance, and identified key residues involved in benzimidazole binding. By applying the same methods to other parasites of importance this study highlighted differences between groups of nematodes which may explain the difference seen in the development of resistance in these parasites.

description:

description: The research presented has demonstrated that Ascaris possess a larger repertoire of β-tubulins than other nematodes, but they still interact with benzimidazoles in a similar manner. Therefore, it would be possible for the common resistance-associated mutations to cause anthelmintic resistance.

description:

description: This research has led to the publishing of two articles, with another under review and one more to be submitted in the future. It has also contributed to another publication not included in this thesis.

description: So vielfältig und verschiedenartig die politische Landschaft Südostasiens ist, so unterschiedlich fielen die Reaktionen der Länder der ASEAN-Region gegenüber dem einseitigen und gewaltsamen Vorgehen der Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika gegen den Irak aus. Die unterschiedlichen Beziehungen zu den USA, die innenpolitische Situation mit religionspolitischen Empfindlichkeiten, aber auch die ökonomische Abhängigkeit der jeweiligen Länder von dem nordamerikanischen Exportmarkt, beeinflussten die Stellungnahmen der Regierungen.

title: Transitions in the American Novel
title: Literary Naturalism and the Ideology of Fossil Capital
titleType: Subtitle
Creators: name: Mcneilly, Sam
Publisher: name: University of Surrey
Year: 2024
Subjects: Naturalism

description: Through the nineteenth century, Western industrial nations transitioned to fossil fuels following the formation of what Andreas Malm terms “Fossil Capital,” a distinct form of capitalism based on the extraction and consumption of coal, oil, and gas. In America, the industrial operations of fossil capital – in addition to igniting our contemporary climate crisis – reshaped society in the image of a productive engine through social interpretations of the thermodynamic principles of energy conservation and entropy. Through readings of key naturalist texts from the period when fossil capital firmly established itself as America’s dominant socioeconomic form, this thesis considers American literary naturalism as an aesthetic response to the reordering of the nation’s society around the consumption of fossil fuels. It argues that Fredric Jameson’s understanding of naturalism as a narrative mode that communicates class anxieties through an “entropic trajectory” invites a thermodynamic reading that foregrounds the literary form’s relationship to fossil capital’s socioeconomic and environmental transformations. Each chapter examines the ways in which a pair of American naturalist novels engage in or resist a tendency to imagine the developments of fossil capital as manifestations of thermodynamic laws. In doing so, this thesis presents a reconsideration of American literary naturalism that highlights the form’s ideological function in the establishment of a fossil-fuelled industrial middle class fixated on productivity. The form’s ideology, it demonstrates, ultimately works to present the rise of fossil capital as a natural – and, as such, immutable – phenomenon.

Development and preliminary validation of the Food Intolerance Quality of Life Questionnaire (FIQLQ): Parent, Teenager and Child Forms
Creators: name: SCHOFIELD, RACHEL
Publisher: name: University of Surrey
Year: 2021

description: "Background: A significant proportion (up to 20%) of children and young people avoid food due a perceived food hypersensitivity. Disease-specific quality-of-life scales are needed to measure the impact of living with a food hypersensitivity on physical, psychological and social wellbeing. Although quality-of-life scales exist for children and young people with a food allergy and coeliac disease and a proxy version for parents, there is only an adult version for food intolerance.
description: Aims: This study aimed to develop the child (aged 8-12 years), teenager (aged 13-17 years) and a parent proxy (for parents of children aged 0-17 years) versions of the Food Intolerance Quality of Life Questionnaire (FIQLQ).
description: Methods: We adapted the existing child and teenager version of the Food Allergy Quality of Life Questionnaire (FAQLQ) following interviews with two teenagers. There was a pre-existing but unvalidated version of the parent FIQLQ that had already been adapted from the FAQLQ. 29 children, 39 teenagers and 132 parents completed the relevant FIQLQ along with general questions about their food intolerance and experience of living with intolerance (as part of a broader study funded by the Food Standards Agency).
description: Results: All three versions of the FIQLQs had excellent internal consistency for the subscales and total scores (Cronbach’s ⍺ 0-83-0.97). The parent version was analysed through Principal Component Analysis, resulting in a 23-item measure with three subscales: Dietary Impact, Emotional Impact and Social Impact. Construct validity with hypothesised variables including perceived severity of intolerance, age, and quality-of-life measured through the EQ-5D-Y suggested that the scales might be valid, but further validation with larger samples is needed.
description: Conclusion: The child, teenager and parent proxy versions of the FIQLQ have been developed and have excellent internal consistency. They are quick and easy to use but need further validation to confirm the findings."
