description: Background: Scalp involvement is not directly evaluated in patients with dermatomyositis (DM). Therefore, the exact frequency of scalp dermatomyositis (SDM) and its clinical and trichoscopic characteristics have been poorly described. Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the frequency and clinical and dermoscopic features of SDM in patients diagnosed with DM. Methods: We performed a descriptive prospective, cross-sectional observational study that included all patients diagnosed with DM at a Mexican academic institute over the course of a year. Results: Twenty-four out of 31 patients with DM had scalp involvement at clinical examination, with a prevalence of 77.4%. SDM was clinically characterized by erythema in all cases, scales in 20 (83.3%) patients, nonscarring alopecia in 21 (87.5%) patients, pruritus in 17 (70.8%) patients, and poikiloderma of the scalp in 16 (51.6%) patients. Twenty-eight patients were evaluated by trichoscopy. The most consistent finding was the presence of enlarged capillaries, found in 20 (71.4%) cases, followed by peripilar casts (57.1%) and tufting and interfollicular scales in 14 (50%) cases. Twenty-two patients also had positive nail fold capillaroscopic features similar to those observed by trichoscopy. Limitations: The simple size was limited. Conclusions: Scalp involvement and alopecia are common in patients with DM, and trichoscopy shows features similar to those found at capillaroscopy. Trichoscopy is a very important tool for diagnosis of scalp involvement in patients with DM.

description: Whether large-scale variation in lineage diversification rates can be predicted by species properties at the population level is a key unresolved question at the interface between micro- and macroevolution. All else being equal, species with biological attributes that confer metapopulation stability should persist more often at timescales relevant to speciation and so give rise to new (incipient) forms that share these biological traits. Here, we develop a framework for testing the relationship between metapopulation properties related to persistence and phylogenetic speciation rates. We illustrate this conceptual approach by applying it to a long-term dataset on demersal fish communities from the North American continental shelf region. We find that several indices of metapopulation persistence have phylogenetic signal, suggesting that traits are connected with range-wide demographic patterns. However, there is no relationship between demographic properties and speciation rate. These findings suggest a decoupling between ecological dynamics at decadal timescales and million-year clade dynamics, raising questions about the extent to which population-level processes observable over ecological timescales can be extrapolated to infer biodiversity dynamics more generally.

title: Proto-proteomics: novel tools for the analysis of artificial polymer soups
Creators: name: Doran, David
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: oligomer, sequencing, mass spectrometry, artificial life.

description: The ultimate goal of the fields of origin(s) of life and artificial life is to create an artificial living system in the laboratory from the simplest possible precursors, without the aid of components derived directly from biology. There is a growing consensus that, if this ambitious goal is to be achieved, it will be through heterogeneous, multicomponent reactions that can generate a high degree of complexity. Characterising the products of such reactions presents analytical challenges that will only be overcome through the development of new tools to deal with diverse synthetic product mixtures of comparable complexity to those found in biology. The relatively recent advent of so-called ‘omics’ technologies has provided us with a suite of new analytical methodologies that could be adapted for studies into complex artificial systems. However, application of these methods, which are bespoke for biological applications, to artificial chemistries is non-trivial. In this thesis, I present novel proteomics-like approaches for analysis of complex artificial polymer soups. A model system of unconstrained, multicomponent depsipeptide elongation was used to detect the emergence of function and selection in heterogeneous synthetic polymer mixtures. This was achieved partly through the application of proteomics-like methods for screening large volumes of mass spectrometry data, without which these products could not be analysed with any reasonable throughput. Further to this, I discovered a new one-pot depsipeptide elongation and fatty acid acylation reaction driven by thermal dehydration. The fatty acid-acylated products of this reaction have the potential to form vesicles, thus providing a potential means of spontaneous compartmentalisation concomitant with the formation of diverse depsipeptide product pools. However, there were no tools available for characterising the complex mixtures of acylated and non-acylated depsipeptides produced from these reactions. I therefore developed a novel polymer sequencing software tool, adopting a more sophisticated proteomics approach for analysis of these products. While this tool has been developed using depsipeptide chemistry, I have written it with the explicit aim that, upon release to the wider artificial life community, it can be adapted for investigations into a wide variety of synthetic polymer mixtures. It is my hope that the analytical tools developed during this project will help artificial life researchers investigate heterogeneous, multicomponent polymerisation reactions that would have previously been analytically intractable.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

title: Mathematical and numerical modelling of high-speed rarefied flow of binary gas mixtures
Creators: name: Todorova, Blaga Nenkova
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: nonquilibrium flow, high-speed flow, rarefied gas, mixture models, kinetic models, numerical evaluation, shockwave.

description: Engineering applications that include flows with thermodynamic non-equilibrium and rarefaction effects require modelling with an increased level of physical detail. Practical problems often involve more than one constituent in the flow and therefore the capability to analyse gas mixtures is important. Extending kinetic model equations of the Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook (BGK)-type from a single-species gas to a gas mixture presents a number of difficulties. These are further pronounced when diatomic gas mixtures are considered, due to the addition of internal energy. This is a challenging research area and available models present a number of shortcomings. This thesis presents new mathematical models for high-speed flow applications with moderate levels of rarefaction. The novel kinetic models are derived for mixtures of binary gases: two new models for mixtures of monoatomic gases and a model for mixtures of diatomic gases are introduced. The novel kinetic models are shown to have good mathematical properties and demonstrate significant advances over models in the literature. Transport properties in the continuum limit are obtained through the Chapman-Enskog (CE) type expansion and shown for each model. The models account for separate species-mean velocity such that the species diffusion and velocity drift are accurately represented. For mixtures of monoatomic gases a Shakhov-based model and an Ellipsoidal-Statistical (ES)-based model are derived. The main advantage of the newly introduced models is the recovery of three correct transport coefficients in the hydrodynamic limit and as a result having a correct Prandtl number for the mixture. For the diatomic mixture model, the key improvement is the inclusion of separate species velocities, species- translational, -rotational and -vibrational temperatures and three-step relaxation process. Furthermore, the new models are numerically evaluated for a range of high-speed flows with strong thermodynamic non-equilibrium. Validation and good agreement with results from the Boltzmann model and the direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) demonstrates the models’ capabilities and limitations. A parametric study shows the variation of flow properties under varied free-stream conditions. A numerically efficient gas-kinetic scheme (GKS) based on the monoatomic Shakhov-based mixture model is also presented and the results show good accuracy, while reducing the required computational time. Overall, the newly-introduced gas mixture models demonstrate promising computational results for relevant applications. The current work can form the basis for further work on improved kinetic modelling of high-speed nonequilibrium flows.

description: Purpose: Parents of children on the autism spectrum enrolled in early intervention often receive coaching to address both social communication and disruptive behavior, which are the two most frequently reported concerns by parents. Intervention techniques for both are often recommended to be implemented across daily routines and require the parents to learn new ways of interacting with their child. A sequential approach to instructing parents in these key intervention targets may reduce burden and increase adherence.Method: This multiple-baseline design pilot study included three mother–child dyads who received instruction in a disruptive behavior intervention immediately following a social communication intervention. Maternal maintenance of social communication strategies and child disruptive behaviors were measured during probes throughout the study.Results: Results indicate that although mothers readily learned to implement the techniques, fidelity of implementing social communication strategies declined after introduction of the positive behavior support strategies.Conclusions: A sequenced approach to parent-mediated intervention is feasible and acceptable. Clinical implications and future directions are discussed.

Strategies for social engagement and acceptance

Social strategies

description: In this report, the first section describes the project context i.e. industrial symbiosis, the main foreseen outputs and the governance around social engagement and acceptance. Industrial Symbiosis is an emerging concept with a multitude of benefits for companies, communities and the local environment. It can be a very powerful and important strategic approach to promoting sustainability in the European Union. For this reason, the FISSAC project is highly relevant, bringing together a wide range of partners and countries.
 Industrial Symbiosis (IS) can be initiated by a public authority, private firm, or association. Research to date rarely focuses on the interactions between the highly predominant technical aspect of industrial symbiosis and the non-technical aspects (including social engagement and acceptance); despite this being a key element of success of an IS project.
 Due to the low level of knowledge on social engagement and acceptance held by the majority of the partners of FISSAC, the Social Advisory Board plays a strategic role to orientate the integration of these aspects throughout the project.
 Beyond the technical feasibility of the exchanges, social elements also play a crucial role in the development of IS networks (Domenech and Davies, 2009) and therefore understanding of such elements is essential for the further development of IS. Hence, the second section describes the stakeholder engagement strategy, which establishes the objectives of stakeholder engagement and indicates how the involvement of stakeholders will be achieved at each stage of the project. A Five-step approach is used:
 1. Develop a vision
 2. Map stakeholders
 3. Prepare for the engagement
 4. Engage stakeholders
 5. Monitoring and evaluation
 The third section describes how we will define the next steps of the project and what are the actions already foreseen.
 The diversity of the tasks and the wide range of countries and partners underline the need to clarify the responsibilities of each partner in the contribution of social engagement and acceptance. It is why this document summarises the implication of each partner.

description: Background/Aims: Dietary factors can modify calciuria. We aim to investigate urinary calcium excretion in healthy infants according to their protein. Methods: Secondary data analysis from a randomized clinical trial where healthy term infants were randomized after birth to a higher (HP) or lower (LP) protein content formula that was consumed until age 1 year. A non-randomized group of breastfed (BF) infants was used for reference. Anthropometry, dietary intakes and calciuria (calcium/creatinine ratios) from spot urine samples were assessed at ages 3 and 6 months. At 6 months, the kidney volumes were assessed using ultrasonography, and the serum urea and creatinine levels were determined. Results: BF infants showed the highest calciuria levels, followed by the HP and the LP groups (p < 0.001 for all comparisons). Either protein intakes or formula types modulated the calciuria in linear regression models adjusted for other influencing dietary factors. The usual cut-off values classified 37.8% (BF), 16.8% (HP) and 4.9% (LP) of the infants as hypercalciuric. Conclusions: Feeding types during the first months of life affect calciuria, with BF infants presenting the highest levels. We propose new cut-off values, based on feeding types, to prevent the overestimation in hypercalciuria diagnoses among BF infants.
title: Ideas of spiritual ascent and theurgy from the ancients to Ficino and Pico

Publisher: name: University of Glasgow

Subjects: subject: Magic, Christian Cabala, Theurgy, Mysticism, Marsilio Ficino, Giovanni Pico della Mirandola.

description: The relationship between religion and magic has held a precarious position in the history of Ideas and ecclesiastical history. It is often held that religion petitions while magic coerces. Marsilio Ficino (1433 –1499) translated many Platonic, Neoplatonic and Hermetic texts into Latin reintroducing Platonic theology to the Italian renaissance humanists. Giovanni Pico della Mirandola (1463-1494), utilising Ficino’s translations and incorporating Jewish Kabbalist ideas, gave birth to Christian Cabala through the publication of his nine hundred theses to be delivered in Rome. By exploring the idea of spiritual ascent and its relationship to the Neoplatonic practice of theurgy, it may enable a deeper understanding of the complexities between the Renaissance understanding of religion and magic. At the heart of this discussion for Ficino and Pico is a quest for divine truth, which centres on their understanding of mis dated texts and the development of the prisca theologia. In understanding the way both men understood the concepts of ancient wisdom and ancient religion through the practice of spiritual ascent I aim to explore the complex history of magic and religion demonstrating that definitions between them are not always appropriate or helpful. Chapter one sets the Renaissance scene in which Ficino and Pico were working. Chapter two explores the ideas of spiritual ascent and theurgy in Late Antiquity. Chapter three focuses on Christianity, in particular the legacy of Augustine’s rhetoric and ideas of spiritual ascent in Pseudo-Dionysius. The final two chapters explore the role of theurgy and spiritual ascent in the writings of Ficino and Pico. This thesis explores the development of ideas of spiritual ascent from Classical antiquity into the early modern period, and considers, how, when applied to the thought of Ficino and Pico, these ideas can shed light on the contested relationship between magic and religion.

description: Two new heterobimetallic complexes of the composition [(VO2)2(μ3-slsch){Na2(μ-H2O)2(H2O)2}]n (1) and [(VO2)2(μ3-npsch){Na2(μ-H2O)2(H2O)2}(DMF)]n (2) were obtained by reaction of the ligand and vanadium pentoxide in a 1:1 molar ratio in methanol in the presence of Na2CO3 (2 equivalents). The complexes obtained were characterized using various spectroscopic studies. The structures of both the complexes were established by single crystal X-ray crystallographic study. We have also explored the catalytic behavior of the complexes in oxidative bromination of phenol red, which is the bio-inspired reaction catalyzed by an enzyme haloperoxidase.

description: We have developed a novel lipase-mediated method to realize the Dakin reaction. A wide range of hydroxylated benzaldehydes could be oxidized with high yields (from 90% to 97%) under mild reaction conditions. Moreover, this lipase-mediated reaction could be scaled up easily and Novozym 435 could be reused more than 10 runs without an obvious decrease in enzyme activity. This protocol expands the application of lipase in organic synthesis and offers a complementary route for the Dakin reaction.

description: We have developed an efficient and straightforward methodology for the synthesis of novel tanshinone-substituted bis(indolyl/pyrrolyl)methane scaffolds 3 through TsOH catalysis-enabled addition of indoles or pyrroles 1 with tanshinones 2 based on molecular hybridization strategy. Products were smoothly obtained in good yields (up to 81% yield). This protocol also represents the first construction of tanshinone skeleton-fused bis(indolyl/pyrrolyl)methane scaffolds, thus leading to new knowledge in the fields of both molecular complexity and diversity-oriented synthesis and the lead compound discovery. Furthermore, their biological activities against human leukemia cells K562, human prostate cancer cells PC-3, and human lung cancer cells A549 have been preliminarily demonstrated by in vitro assays. The results demonstrated that most of these compounds 3 obtained by this protocol showed comparable activity to the positive control of cisplatin.
Towards the efficient use of LoRa for wireless sensor networks
Creators: name: Bor, Martin
Publisher: name: Lancaster University
Year: 2020

description: Since their inception in 1998 with the Smart Dust Project from University of Berkeley, Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) had a tremendous impact on both science and society, influencing many (new) research fields, like Cyber-physical System (CPS), Machine to Machine (M2M), and Internet of Things (IoT). In over two decades, WSN researchers have delivered a wide-range of hardware, communication protocols, operating systems, and applications, to deal with the now classic problems of resourceconstrained devices, limited energy sources, and harsh communication environments. However, WSN research happened mostly on the same kind of hardware. With wireless communication and embedded hardware evolving, there are new opportunities to resolve the long standing issues of scaling, deploying, and maintaining a WSN. To this end, we explore in this work the most recent advances in low-power, longrange wireless communication, and the new challenges these new wireless communication techniques introduce. Specifically, we focus on the most promising such technology: LoRa. LoRa is a novel low-power, long-range communication technology, which promises a single-hop network with millions of sensor nodes. Using practical experiments, we evaluate the unique properties of LoRa, like orthogonal spreading factors, nondestructive concurrent transmissions, and carrier activity detection. Utilising these unique properties, we build a novel TDMA-style multi-hop Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol called LoRaBlink. Based on empirical results, we develop a communication model and simulator called LoRaSim to explore the scalability of a LoRa network. We conclude that, in its current deployment, LoRa cannot support the scale it is envisioned to operate at. One way to improve this scalability issue is Adaptive Data Rate (ADR). We develop two ADR protocols, Probing and Optimistic Probing, and compare them with the de facto standard ADR protocol used in the crowdsourced TTN LoRaWAN network. We demonstrate that our algorithms are much more responsive, energy efficient, and able to reach a more efficient configuration quicker, though reaching a suboptimal configuration for poor links, which is offset by the savings caused by the convergence speed. Overall, this work provides theoretical and empirical proofs that LoRa can tackle some of the long standing problems within WSN. We envision that future work, in particular on ADR and MAC protocols for LoRa and other low-power, long-range communication technologies, will help push these new communication technologies to main-stream status in WSNs.

description: Adsorption of Hg2+ and methylmercury (MeHg) to multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) modified, respectively, with hydroxyl, amine and carboxyl groups was studied. The effect of various factors like the initial pH, natural organic matter (NOM), Cl- and adsorbent dose on the sorption efficiency were evaluated. It was found that amine-modified MWCNTs showed a strong adsorption capacity to Hg2+ and MeHg, and the removal efficiency could reach up to 92% (0.5 g/L MWCNTs, and 100 μg/L Hg2+ and MeHg) which is independent of pH. NOM had complex effects on the adsorption of Hg2+ and MeHg to MWCNTs. Cl- inhibited the adsorption of Hg2+ and MeHg to MWCNTs. The adsorption of Hg2+ and MeHg was found to be inhomogeneous and homogeneous chemisorption, respectively. Our results suggested that MWCNTs modified with different functional groups can efficiently adsorb both Hg2+ and MeHg in aqueous environment.

description: In this paper our objective is to analyze sustainable debt policy rules and economic growth using a model of endogenous economic growth theory. For the government it is possible to run into debt, but, the primary surplus is a positive linear function of the debt-to-GDP ratio which guarantees that public debt is sustainable. We analyze different sustainable debt policies in this small open economy model of endogenous growth with public capital accumulation, as well we take transitions into account. We investigate the characteristics and stability of the steady state and we analyze the effects on welfare for the different debt policies.

title: The Grief Nurse, a novel, & Asterisms, lyrical essays: Creative questionings of grief
Creators: name: Spoto, Angela
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: grief, fantasy, speculative, SFF, language, politics of grief, lyrical essays, madness, memoir, grieving, bereavement.

description: This PhD work is a creative and critical exploration of grief. The thesis consists of a novel called The Grief Nurse and a collection of essays called Asterisms. Inspired by the decline of the British aristocracy at the turn of the 20th century, The Grief Nurse is a speculative novel that imagines a world where grief is commodified and freedom from grief is hoarded by the wealthy. It explores the consequences of suppressing grief and the personal and political implications of stigma against grief, mental illness and suicide. Asterisms weaves together poetry, memoir, and research spanning across the disciplines of psychology, feminist theory, philosophy, and literature to explore the relationship between grief and mental illness, the many types of grief, and the politics and language of grief, ultimately attempting to understand what grief can be. Aiming to be an accessible yet intellectual examination of grief, Asterisms is written in an intimate style that invites readers to imagine their own experiences with grief as they read. The novel and essays, although very different in form, were written symbiotically; they engage with one another through the themes they explore and the questions they raise. Together the novel and essays form an argument for the necessity of grief as an essential component of the human condition.

description: Synaptic plasticity is considered to be a basis for learning and memory. However, the relationship between synaptic arrangements and individual differences in learning and memory is poorly understood. Here, we explored how the density of microglomeruli (synaptic complexes) within specific regions of the bumblebee (Bombus terrestris) brain relates to both visual learning and inter-individual differences in learning and memory performance on a visual discrimination task. Using whole-brain immunolabelling, we measured the density of microglomeruli in the collar region (visual association areas) of the mushroom bodies of the bumblebee brain. We found that bumblebees which made fewer errors during training in a visual discrimination task had higher microglomerular density. Similarly, bumblebees that had better retention of the learned colour-reward associations two days after training had higher microglomerular density. Further experiments indicated experience-dependent changes in neural circuitry: learning a colour-reward contingency with 10 colours (but not two colours) does result, and exposure to many different colours may result, in changes to microglomerular density in the collar region of the mushroom bodies. These results reveal the varying roles that visual experience, visual learning and foraging activity have on neural structure. Although our study does not provide a causal link between microglomerular density and performance, the observed positive correlations provide new insights for future studies into how neural structure may relate to inter-individual differences in learning and memory.

(a) Human visual depiction of each of the colours used in experiments, with RGB values and bee vision hexagon loci. +/- symbols indicate rewarding (+) and unrewarding (-) chips during training. Asterisks indicate yellow and green chips used for 2-colour Learning group in Experiment Experiment 3. (b) Spectral reflectance plot of each of the colours used. (c) Loci of chip colours in bee colour space, describing the range of colours a bee can see given their three photoreceptors sensitive to Blue, Green and UV light. Dots indicate each of the chip colours used in the experiments and are shown with human depicted colours. The closer to the center the dot, the greyer the colour appears to the bee, and the closer to the edge, the brighter the colour appears. The closer the dots are together the more similar they look to a bee. (d) Histogram of landings among rewarding colours during training. During the last 10 landings of training, bees landed more on all rewarding colours than any unrewarding colours (GLMM: p < 0.0001; table S6), but there was no difference amongst rewarding colours and no difference amongst unrewarding colours.

description: We present a mapping between a Schrödinger equation with a shifted non-linear potential and the Navier-Stokes equation. Following a generalization of the Madelung transformations, we show that the inclusion of the Bohm quantum potential plus the laplacian of the phase field in the non-linear term leads to continuity and momentum equations for a dissipative incompressible Navier-Stokes fluid. An alternative solution, built using a complex quantum diffusion, is also discussed. The present models may capture dissipative effects in quantum fluids, such as Bose-Einstein condensates, as well as facilitate the formulation of quantum algorithms for classical dissipative fluids.

description: In the wake of the ‘Great Recession’, welfare states have entered a new phase of austerity. Simultaneously, new social risks and the rise of the knowledge economy fuel new demands on the welfare state. We analyse how demands for social investment policies – particularly education – come into conflict with budgetary concerns, using new survey data on individual-level preferences in eight European countries. Paying particular attention to fiscal and budgetary trade-offs, we find that social investments are generally very popular, but as soon as realistic budget constraints are added, public support drops considerably. The largest drop occurs when social investments would be financed with cutbacks in social transfers rather than higher taxes or higher public debt levels. Furthermore, when studying the determinants of preferences, we find that in the era of permanent austerity distributive conflicts within welfare states exhibit a different political dynamic than conflicts about the size of the welfare state.
