description: This three-year research project began in January 2014 and investigated whether, during the Victorian period, the professions formed a distinct self-sustaining social group with its own mores and values. The project looked at 16,000 individuals drawn from census data for Alnwick, Brighton, Bristol, Dundee, Greenock, Leeds, Merthyr Tydfil, Morpeth, and Winchester. The research project was funded by the UK Economic & Social Research Council and was based at the Universities of Oxford and Northumbria.
title: APPREHENSION ABOUT COLLECTIVE LEADERSHIP: AN ACTION RESEARCH STUDY IN MODERN ORGANISATIONS IN AFRICA
Creators: name: Soumahoro, Khoko
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2022

description: More than 25 years after the development of collective leadership (COLLEAD) as a leadership practice, not all modern organisations in Africa are exercising it when required. The lack of applying this practice has been attributed to different factors. The purpose of this research is to better understand how COLLEAD is practised in African organisations; to be aware of the challenges leaders and managers are facing and that make them apprehensive, and to propose a tool that can facilitate the practice of COLLEAD. The data collected for this qualitative study is from interviews and focus group discussions undertaken with leaders/managers and employees with no leadership role working for public, private, and international organisations. As a pragmatist, I built on research participants’ experiences and their opinion about the collectivist approach in leadership practice, the existing literature on the subject, and my observations, to understand the reasons of this apprehension about collective leadership. The research has confirmed that the personality and behaviour of individuals involved, influence the practice of COLLEAD. Furthermore, it has revealed that the socio-cultural background of leaders/managers and members of a team in the African context, affects this leadership practice. The hierarchical structure of the organisation, the mechanistic management style as well as the issue of accountability prevent leaders/managers and team members from fully engaging in COLLEAD practices. Overall, this action research has enabled to respond to my research questions. It has also contributed to understanding the actions required to promote COLLEAD practice and to propose a framework to guide leaders/managers.
Simplifying one-loop amplitudes in superstring theory

description: We show that 4-point vector boson one-loop amplitudes, computed in ref.[1] in the RNS formalism, around vacuum configurations with open unoriented strings, preserving at least N=1 SUSY in D=4, satisfy the correct supersymmetry Ward identities, in that they vanish for non MHV configurations (++++) and (-+++). In the MHV case (--++) we drastically simplify their expressions. We then study factorisation and the limiting IR and UV behaviour and find some unexpected results. In particular no massless poles are exposed at generic values of the modular parameter. Relying on the supersymmetric properties of our bosonic amplitudes, we extend them to manifestly supersymmetric super-amplitudes and compare our results with those obtained in the D=4 hybrid formalism, pointing out difficulties in reconciling the two approaches for contributions from N=1,2 sectors.

description: In this investigation, indicator species analysis has been used for the study of spatial distribution of monogenean parasite communities on four teleost fish along the eastern Algerian coastline during 2005-2008. Because of its resilience to changes in abundance, IndVal is a particularly effective tool for the study of ecological bio-indication. The IndVal method showed how locality (Annaba gulf and El Mellah lagoon) can influence the occurrence of parasite species in fish, and also identified parasites as bio-indicators of the host species (Chelon labrosus, Mugil cephalus, Liza aurata and Dicentrarchus labrax). The randomization test identified six parasite species having a significant indicator value for the locality (Microcotyle mugilis, Microcotyle labracis, Ligophorus mediterraneus, Ligophorus vanbenedinii, Ligophorus szidati and Ergenstrema labrosi) and eight indicator species of a host (Microcotyle mugilis, Serranicotyle labracis, Ligophorus angustus, Diplectanum aequans, Ligophorus mediterraneus, Ligophorus vanbenedinii, Ligophorus szidati and Ergenstrema labrosi). Chao-Sorensen similarity index indicated that the monogenean communities were relatively similar in the two localities.

description: We report pressure broadening coefficients for the 21 electric-dipole transitions between the eight lowest rotational levels of ortho-H$_2$O and para-H$_2$O molecules by collisions with He at temperatures from 20 to 120 K. These coefficients are derived from recently published experimental state-to-state rate coefficients for H$_2$O:He inelastic collisions, plus an elastic contribution from close coupling calculations. The resulting coefficients are compared to the available experimental data. Mostly due to the elastic contribution, the pressure broadening coefficients differ much from line to line, and increase markedly at low temperature. The present results are meant as a guide for future experiments and astrophysical observations.

Metabolic impacts of weight loss intervention on morbid obesity
Creators: name: Chen, Qiling
Publisher: name: Imperial College London

description: Morbid obesity can result in life-altering health issues, such as type 2 diabetes. Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery has been demonstrated to be one of the most effective treatments for morbid obesity and its co-morbidities in long-term. This aim of this thesis is to investigate the metabolic impact of weight loss intervention (RYGB, caloric restriction, and gut hormone treatment) on urine, plasma, and faecal profiles from morbidly obese patients, and to answer two hypotheses: 1) RYGB-induced metabolic changes are partially attributed to caloric restriction and increased gut hormones; 2) RYGB alters metabolic profile of faecal bacterial pellets separated using a newly developed method. Samples at pre-intervention time point were compared with post-intervention time point, and multivariate and univariate analysis were applied based on different types of datasets using different software to avoid missing potential biomarkers. Samples at post-intervention time point were compared across the intervention groups using the same strategy as above. At 1-month-post-intervention, RYGB-induced metabolic changes could be attributed by caloric restriction via increased metabolisms of ketone bodies, lactic acid, and tricarboxylic acid, and decreased concentrations of total apolipoprotein A1, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) subfraction 3&4, and very-low-density-lipoprotein (VLDL) subfraction 5. RYGB-induced distinct metabolic changes included metabolisms of amino acids, short chain fatty acids, creatine, increased concentration of low-density lipoprotein fraction of triglycerides, and decreased concentration of HDL subfraction 2 of phospholipids. Gut hormone treatment exerted limited metabolic effects on urine and plasma samples. A separation method was developed for faecal bacterial pellets profiling and applied on RYGB and caloric restriction cohorts. Propionate and butyrate productions via dicarboxylic acid pathway were increased significantly 2-5 years after RYGB and 3 months after caloric restriction, respectively. My study showed RYGB-induced metabolic changes could not be fully explained by caloric restriction nor increased gut hormone levels; Gut hormone treatment induced limited metabolic changes and could be an alternate therapy for morbid obesity followed by clinical trial with increased sample size and follow-up study in long term.

description: In the ubiquitin-proteasome system, protein substrates are degraded via covalent modification by a polyubiquitin chain. The polyubiquitin chain must be assembled rapidly in cells, because a chain of at least four ubiquitins is required to signal for degradation, and chain-editing enzymes in the cell may cleave premature polyubiquitin chains before achieving this critical length. The ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme Cdc34 and ubiquitin ligase SCF are capable of building polyubiquitin chains onto protein substrates both rapidly and processively; this may be explained at least in part by the atypically fast rate of Cdc34 and SCF association. This rapid association has been attributed to electrostatic interactions between the acidic C-terminal tail of Cdc34 and a feature on SCF called the basic canyon. However, the structural aspects of the Cdc34-SCF interaction and how they permit rapid complex formation remain elusive. Here, we use protein cross-linking to demonstrate that the Cdc34-SCF interaction occurs in multiple conformations, where several residues from the Cdc34 acidic tail are capable of contacting a broad region of the SCF basic canyon. Similar patterns of cross-linking are also observed between Cdc34 and the Cul1 paralog Cul2, implicating the same mechanism for the Cdc34-SCF interaction in other members of the cullin-RING ubiquitin ligases. We discuss how these results can explain the rapid association of Cdc34 and SCF.
Kenneth Oravetz - Comics Codices Futures: A Different Approach to Understanding Print Comics Materiality in the Digital Era

description: This presentation seeks to posit possible futures of the comics codex and the study of comics materiality by adapting frameworks from critical bibliography and artists’ books scholarship. Prior work on comics materiality, including Aaron Kashtan’s 2018 Between Pen and Pixel, has posited that comics which explore the material dynamics of the codex have emerged in response to a perceived competition with the digital. I argue instead that, rather than being motivated by a digital “crisis,” material experimentation should be read in terms of the pursuit of new expressive possibilities in the codex and comics format. I explore comics from current small press movements with this mindset by applying and adjusting frameworks from artist’s book scholars, as artists’ books and comics alike draw attention to the unique material dynamics of the codex through their self-conscious design. Through my material approach, I advocate for closer attention to comics materiality and for bringing avant-garde small press works closer into the comics studies fold, as they suggest unique and valuable potentialities of print experience-making, representation, and expression. In doing so, these sorts of texts posit the potential future role and value of both the print comic and the codex book.

I will try to show how physics helps to (re)consider this issue.
A Learning-Based Approach to Caching in Heterogenous Small Cell Networks

description: A heterogenous network with base stations (BSs), small base stations (SBSs) and users distributed according to independent Poisson point processes is considered. SBS nodes are assumed to possess high storage capacity and to form a distributed caching network. Popular files are stored in local caches of SBSs, so that a user can download the desired files from one of the SBSs in its vicinity. The offloading-loss is captured via a cost function that depends on the random caching strategy proposed here. The popularity profile of cached content is unknown and estimated using instantaneous demands from users within a specified time interval. An estimate of the cost function is obtained from which an optimal random caching strategy is devised. The training time to achieve an $ε>0$ difference between the achieved and optimal costs is finite provided the user density is greater than a predefined threshold, and scales as $N^2$, where $N$ is the support of the popularity profile. A transfer learning-based approach to improve this estimate is proposed. The training time is reduced when the popularity profile is modeled using a parametric family of distributions; the delay is independent of $N$ and scales linearly with the dimension of the distribution parameter.

description: The fish assemblages of a temperate (Mira estuary, Portugal) and a tropical (Mussulo lagoon, Angola) seagrass
 beds were comparatively analysed based on the species composition, fish abundance and functional guilds. The species
 composition in the two assemblages was very different and the number of species recorded in the Mira site (47) was higher
 than that in the Mussulo site (18). The dominant fish families were the Syngnathidae, Gobiidae, Sparidae and Labridae in
 the Mira assemblage and the Haemulidae and Mugilidae in the Mussulo. Both assemblages were composed of a large
 proportion of species that use these estuarine systems as nursery areas. The percentage of resident species was higher in the
 Mira estuary. Considering the trophic guilds, for both areas, the benthophagous species were the dominant group. A
 comparative analysis of the abundance ranks of the fish families recorded in several seagrass bed assemblages worldwide
 reflected mainly biogeographical areas rather than seagrass habitat types.

description: Eight vilasinin-class limonoids, including the unusually chlorinated rubescins K–M (1–3), the 2,3-epoxylated rubescin N (4), and rubescins O–R (5–8), were newly isolated from Trichilia rubescens. The structures of the isolated compounds were determined through spectroscopic and spectrometric analyses, as well as ECD calculations. The natural occurrence of chlorinated limonoids 1–3 was confirmed by chemical methods and HPLC analysis of a roughly fractionated portion of the plant extract. Eight selected limonoids, including previously known and new compounds, were evaluated for antiproliferative activity against five human tumor cell lines. All tested limonoids, except 8, exhibited significant potency, with IC50 values of <10 μM; in particular, limonoid 14 strongly inhibited tumor cell growth, with IC50 values of 0.54–2.06 μM against all tumor cell lines, including multi-drug-resistant cells.

description: At the Rainbow hydrothermal site the concentrations of metals in the fluid are the highest observed in the Mid-
 Atlantic Ridge hydrothermal areas, and the shrimps Rimicaris exoculata were observed forming dense swarms in small
 depressions on the chimney walls. In order to understand the fluid-organism relationship, we investigated the relative
 abundance of metals in the water surrounding R. exoculata and their bioaccumulation by the shrimps. This first approach
 stresses a net metal enrichment around R. exoculata. Precipitation, scavenging and oxidative redissolution processes in the
 mixing zone are controlling the concentrations of metals. Their bioaccumulation varies according to their bioavailability in
 the surrounding water. Metals are abundant as insoluble forms in the tissues but the hypothesis of external deposits on the
 gills and the cuticle of the abdomen cannot be rejected. The regular lysosomal breakdown of metallothioneins may
 participate to the relative abundance of these insoluble forms. Improvements concerning the preparation of the biological
 material and the use of a complementary histological technique are needed to answer the questions emerging from our work.
 The study of the distribution of metals between dissolved and particulate fractions in the water surrounding the shrimps has
 to be performed, in order to provide data on the bioavailability of metals.
UV Light Potentiates STING (Stimulator of Interferon Genes)-dependent Innate Immune Signaling through Deregulation of ULK1 (Unc51-like Kinase 1)

description: The mechanism by which ultraviolet (UV) wavelengths of sunlight trigger or exacerbate the symptoms of the autoimmune disorder lupus erythematosus is not known but may involve a role for the innate immune system. Here we show that UV radiation potentiates STING (stimulator of interferon genes)-dependent activation of the immune signaling transcription factor interferon regulatory factor 3 (IRF3) in response to cytosolic DNA and cyclic dinucleotides in keratinocytes and other human cells. Furthermore, we find that modulation of this innate immune response also occurs with UV-mimetic chemical carcinogens and in a manner that is independent of DNA repair and several DNA damage and cell stress response signaling pathways. Rather, we find that the stimulation of STING-dependent IRF3 activation by UV is due to apoptotic signaling-dependent disruption of ULK1 (Unc51-like kinase 1), a pro-autophagic protein that negatively regulates STING. Thus, deregulation of ULK1 signaling by UV-induced DNA damage may contribute to the negative effects of sunlight UV exposure in patients with autoimmune disorders.

In this study, we investigated the efficacy of direct injection of antibiotics into a wound cavity after wound closure, both alone and in combination with systemic administration of antibiotics. We hypothesized that a combination of preoperative systemic administration and postoperative local injection would be the most effective treatment.

description: Youth filmmaking is considered as a relational practice through the analysis of a case study that took place in an informal learning setting. Comics are employed as a research form allowing us to investigate and portray Sally’s story through a biographical-style sequential narrative. We visualize her experience through various encounters with the space of learning and identify characteristics of informal learning spaces that encourage youth to create meanings from filmmaking as media arts practice. This visual essay provides a contextual and unique outlook into Sally’s struggle and joy of learning, thus allowing teachers, educators and academics to ponder the role of relationality in youth arts engagement.The presentation reflects on the use of comics as both research methodology and findings output. Some of the focus will be on the challenges that arise when creating academic comics for scholarly publications. Topics include maintaining anonymity, referencing in comics, mechanical type vs. hand lettering, and implementing editorial revisions.

description: In spite of Ethiopia’s over a decade long double-digit economic growth that started in 2004, there seemed to be no significant change in the economic development of the country. This study sets out to investigate the factors that drive economic growth in Ethiopia and explain why the highly praised and rapid economic growth has led to little or no change in the welfare of the society. The study uses time-series data extending from 1950 to 2017 and employs descriptive statistics and a production function and growth accounting models to examine the factors that directly or indirectly impact major macroeconomic variables. Our findings show that real capital stock accounted for most part of the real GDP growth especially during the post-2004 period, while the contribution of labor or employment to economic growth was consistently low in the same period. Overall, while a disproportionately large share of the gains from economic growth accrued to a few capital owners, the bulk of workers, averaging about 41 percent of the country’s population, ended up taking only a small share of the economic pie. This shows that the country’s double-digit economic growth was not inclusive, and it has manifested itself by stagnant change in the welfare of the average citizen.

description: The most basic local conversion is local operations and classical communications (LOCC), which is also the most natural restriction in quantum information processing. We investigate the conversions between the ground states in quantum critical systems via LOCC and propose an novel method to reveal the different convertibility via majorization relation when a quantum phase transition occurs. The ground-state local convertibility in the one-dimensional transverse field Ising model is studied. It is shown that the LOCC convertibility changes nearly at the phase transition point. The relation between the order of quantum phase transitions and the LOCC convertibility is discussed. Our results are compared with the corresponding results using the Renyi entropy and the LOCC convertibility with assisted entanglement.

description: We investigate how nontrivial topology affects the entanglement dynamics between a detector and a quantum field and between two detectors mediated by a quantum field. Nontrivial topology refers to both that of the base space and that of the bundle. Using a derivative-coupling Unruh-DeWitt-like detector model interacting with a quantum scalar field in an Einstein cylinder S1 (space) x R1 (time), we see the beating behaviors in the dynamics of the detector-field entanglement and the detector-detector entanglement, which distinguish from the results in the non-compact (1+1) dimensional Minkowski space. The beat patterns of entanglement dynamics in a normal and a twisted field with the same parameter values are different because of the difference in the spectrum of the field modes. In terms of the kinetic momentum of the detectors, we find that the contribution by the zero mode in a normal field to entanglement dynamics has no qualitative difference from those by the nonzero modes.

description: Standard methods for calculating the black hole entropy beyond general relativity are ambiguous when the horizon is non stationary. We fix these ambiguities in all quadratic curvature gravity theories, by demanding that the entropy be increasing at every time, for linear perturbations to a stationary black hole. Our result matches with the entropy formula found previously in holographic entanglement entropy calculations. We explicitly calculate the entropy increase for Vaidya-like solutions in Ricci-tensor gravity to show that (unlike the Wald entropy) the holographic entropy obeys a Second Law.

description: In the study of literature, it is common practice to indicate changes in style, language, dialect or idiom and take these changes into account when analyzing texts. These things can tell us something about the text (when it was written, who the writer is, etc.) as well as about the story itself: who is speaking, to start. It can also indicate things about the character: his level of education, or her level of maturity, for instance. Through using a different language/dialect, it becomes possible to identify the character who is narrating/speaking. In Comics Studies, it seems, there is a lot less attention for these kinds of changes in style, while the impact these changes have can be just as great, and the information we can gather from the style of a text is very important in understanding the text. In this presentation, I will discuss how style can influence the narrative and message of a story, how the style of a text can convey information and how different styles within a single narrative influence the interpretation of the story – for better or for worse – by conveying information about narration, focalization and the likes.

description: Point cloud is the most fundamental representation of 3D geometric objects. Analyzing and processing point cloud surfaces is important in computer graphics and computer vision. However, most of the existing algorithms for surface analysis require connectivity information. Therefore, it is desirable to develop a mesh structure on point clouds. This task can be simplified with the aid of a parameterization. In particular, conformal parameterizations are advantageous in preserving the geometric information of the point cloud data. In this paper, we extend a state-of-the-art spherical conformal parameterization algorithm for genus-0 closed meshes to the case of point clouds, using an improved approximation of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on data points. Then, we propose an iterative scheme called the North-South reiteration for achieving a spherical conformal parameterization. A balancing scheme is introduced to enhance the distribution of the spherical parameterization. High quality triangulations and quadrangulations can then be built on the point clouds with the aid of the parameterizations. Also, the meshes generated are guaranteed to be genus-0 closed meshes. Moreover, using our proposed spherical conformal parameterization, multilevel representations of point clouds can be easily constructed. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed framework.
LE DÉVELOPPEMENT LARVAIRE CHEZ OPHIODERMA LONGICAUDA (RETZIUS)
Creators: name: FÉNAUX, Lucienne
Publisher: name: Station Biologique de Roscoff (SBR)
Year: 1969

description: The larval development of Ophioderma longicauda was observed for the first time in planktonic blastulae and embryos obtained by artificial fertilization. It is a small cask shaped larva and the ciliated apparatus is concentrated in four transverse bands. The identity of this larva with the larval type described by
Müller(1850)and Krohn(1957)is suggested.

description: Despite the policy recommendation and effectiveness of administering the hepatitis B birth-dose vaccine (HepB-BD) to newborns to prevent mother-to-child hepatitis B transmission, timely uptake remains an issue. Countries adopting the HepB-BD to their national immunization schedule report programmatic challenges to administering the vaccine within the recommended 24-hour window after delivery. Further, while the World Health Organization recommends streamlining three birth-dose vaccines (HepB-BD, BCG, and OPV0), scarce Sub-Saharan(SSA)-based literature reports on a streamlined and timely approach to birth-dose vaccines. As more SSA countries adopt the new birth-dose vaccine to their immunization schedules, a systematically developed implementation strategy—Vaccination of Newborns–Innovative Strategies to Hasten Birth-Dose vaccines’ delivery (VANISH-BD)—will facilitate the adoption and implementation of timely birth-dose vaccine uptake. In this paper, we describe the development of the implementation strategy using intervention mapping, an evidence-based and theory-driven approach. We report on the development of our intervention, beginning with the needs assessment based in Kinshasa Province, Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), informing step 1 of intervention mapping. The intervention is contextually relevant, locally produced, sustainable, and designed to improve timely birth-dose vaccine uptake in the DRC. We intend to inform future implementers about improving timely and streamlined birth-dose vaccine uptake and for VANISH-BD to be adapted for similar contexts.

description: The pathogenesis of Stevens Johnson Syndrome (SJS) remains obscure but it has been associated with various infectious agents, including members of the Herpes virus family. We present the first report of high level human herpesvirus-6 (HHV-6) viremia at the onset of SJS suggesting a possible new association. This finding supports the need for further investigation into the possible relationship between HHV-6 and SJS which may illuminate the pathogenesis of SJS and bring us closer to achieving enhanced prevention and treatment of this rare disease.

Renormalized Entanglement Entropy on Cylinder

description: We develop a framework of calculating entanglement entropy for non-conformal field theories with the use of the dilaton effective action. To illustrate it, we locate a theory on a cylinder $\mathbb{R} \times \mathbb{S}^{2}$ and compute entanglement entropy of a cap-like region perturbatively with respect to the mass for a free massive scalar field. A renormalized entanglement entropy (REE) is proposed to regularize the ultraviolet divergence on the cylinder. We find that the REE decreases monotonically both in the small and large mass regions as the mass increases. We confirm all of these behaviors by the numerical calculations, which further shows the monotonic decrease of the REE in the entire renormalization group flow.

description: My paper takes a critical approach to the use of categories in the writing and illustrating of Red Wolf from 2017-2019. This study focuses on issues of representation and aims to examine where and how the comics destabilise and challenge racist stereotypes in the medium as well as in society, where and how they further construct such views, and consequentially what needs to be improved in future representations in order to portray Indigenous characters as full, complex humans with agency over their own stories. By undertaking this analysis, I aim to examine where and how these comics use the medium as a tool to raise awareness of indigenous cultures and the problems facing their communities, as a political artefact and a social commentary on the above, and to hold the comics accountable and encourage creators to take responsibility for any discrimination and inequalities found within the works. I will be conducting a close-reading of the texts and examining them in relation to the two dominant categories that Indigenous peoples are written into: the “Bloodthirsty Savage” and the “Naïve Sidekick”, which will be scrutinised and problematised whilst being used as a basis from which to compare the representations.
On Virtual Conjugacy of Generalized Odometers

description: The paper is focused on the study of continuous orbit equivalence for generalized odometers (profinite actions). We show that two generalized odometers are continuously orbit equivalent if and only if the acting groups have finite index subgroups (having the same index) whose actions are piecewise conjugate. This result extends M.~Boyle's flip-conjugacy theorem originally established for $\mathbb Z$-actions. As a corollary we obtain a dynamical classification of the restricted isomorphism between generalized Bunce-Deddens $C^*$-algebras. We also show that the full group associated with a generalized odometer is amenable if and only if the acting group is amenable.

description: We show how "colored" SU(2) BPS monopoles (that is: SU(2) monopoles satisfying the Bogomol'nyi equation whose Higgs field and magnetic charge vanish at infinity and which are singular at the origin) can be obtained from the BPST instanton by a singular dimensional reduction, explaining the origin of the singularity and implying that the singularity can be cured by the oxidation of the solution. We study the oxidation of other monopole solutions in this scheme.

description: Increasing evidence suggests that stress system activation after burn injury may contribute to burn-related pain. If this is the case, then genetic variations influencing the function of important stress system components, such as the enzyme catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT), may predict pain severity after thermal burn injury.
