description: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is an incurable neurodegenerative disease that is fatal with
a median of 3-4 years. It is characterized by degeneration of the first and second motor neurons.
In addition to physical limitations, neuropsychological abnormalities occur in more than 50%
of cases. This leads to a rapid loss of autonomy and increases the need for care. An individual
prognosis for the course of the disease is currently not possible. As part of our investigations,
we focused on cognitive performance and behavioral abnormalities measured by the Edinburgh
Cognitive and Behavioral ALS Screen (ECAS) in patients with ALS (pALS) and investigated
possible prognostic biomarkers in cerebrospinal fluid as well as modifiable factors such as
nutrition and lung function. Retrospective data analysis of 99 pALS cases, examined between
2018 and 2021 at the Department for Neurodegenerative Diseases and Gerontopsychiatry at the
University Hospital of Bonn, using ECAS found that increased levels of total tau (tTau) and
phospho-Tau181 (pTau) correlates with a poorer performance of pALS on the ECAS. Weight
loss during the disease also negatively affects cognitive performance. We also showed a
correlation between abnormalities in the ECAS and low-normal serum thiamine levels.
Previous findings of a negative effect of reduced lung function on cognitive performance were
not replicated. Whether the onset of ALS is bulbar or spinal does not appear to have an effect
on cognition and behavior. We also confirmed that the ECAS is useful in identifying a
behavioral variant of frontotemporal dementia in ALS patients. Our findings provide insight
into the prognosis of pALS in terms of their cognitive performance and behavioral
abnormalities as the disease progresses, as well as possible therapeutic approaches to stabilize
and support neuropsychological abnormalities. In addition, interesting new avenues of research
are emerging, particularly regarding the role of thiamine in ALS.
Thread Local Storage Cleanup in Thread-Safe HDF5 for Windows

description: Although not multithreaded internally, the HDF library can optionally be made safe for access by multiple concurrent threads.  When enabled,  this thread-safe feature uses the designated threading library to implement a global mutex around the library and to provide thread-local storage (TLS) for thread-specific error reporting and function traces. The cleanup of these per-thread resources, however, is incomplete on  Windows.

In this  RFC,  we present a thread clean-up mechanism for Windows and describe its limitations. This functionality will appear in the 1.8.13 release of  HDF5.
Kinematics of Normal Faults
Creators: name: Lathrop, Bailey
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2021

description: Continental extension is accommodated by normal faults, and fault growth is achieved by increases in length (L) and displacement (D). When normal fault length and displacement were initially studied in the 1970’s and 80’s, it was assumed that faults maintain a constant D/L ratio from initiation to cessation, growing via sympathetic increases in displacement and length (the propagating fault model). Since the advent of 3D geophysical seismic data, it has been suggested that faults reach their maximum length before accruing significant displacement (the constant-length model). Several uncertainties remain, such as (i) how normal fault displacement and length relate to each other in different settings and whether a universal scaling law can be used, (ii) how different geological factors affect fault geometry and growth. To address these issues, I first assemble and interrogate a global database of normal faults that includes displacement and length, as well as tectonic setting, host rock lithology, fault maturity, and D/L through time where available. I next present a case study that uses growth faults imaged in 3D seismic data from offshore NW Australia to track fault lengthening, throw, and changes in slip rate through time. Observations on fault growth from the global database and seismic-based interpretations were then tested using physical analogue models, designed to investigate fault displacement/throw and length through time in higher resolution than seismic data allows. Results demonstrate that ‘one-size-fits-all’ D/L scaling laws are not accurate because the fault geometry and growth is affected by fault size, host rock lithology, fault reactivation, and fault maturity in particular. Universal scaling laws are inherently problematic because the relationship between length and displacement/throw is ever-changing throughout a fault’s life. Individual normal faults follow the following growth pattern: a lengthening stage (10-30% of a fault's active life), displacement stage (30-75% of a fault's active life), and possible tip retreat stage (final 25% of a faults’ active life). On a fault array scale, faults follow a cyclical growth pattern, where faults alternate between the lengthening and displacement stages.

The Return: Why Collapse Happens — and What Comes After
Creators: name: Shipkowski, James
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: This manifesto presents a structural explanation for the collapse of systems, institutions, and inner coherence in the modern world. Grounded in the principle of recursive correction, it proposes that reality is not held together by belief or force, but by a fundamental law: what is misaligned will either correct or collapse. Drawing from mathematical ontology, natural recursion, and timeless ethical structures, this work outlines a path to alignment that does not require belief — only observation. It is not a religion, movement, or ideology. It is a map back to structural truth. The return is already active. This document simply names it.
The Law of Return: A Recursive Framework for Collapse, Correction, and Universal Alignment
Creators: name: Shipkowski, James
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: This work introduces the Recursive Correction Law—a structural, mathematical, and ontological model for understanding the collapse and realignment of systems across all domains: physical, cognitive, ethical, technological, and spiritual.

 

Built on the foundation of the Universal Mathematical Ontology (UMO), the Law of Return unifies Quantum Mechanics and General Relativity as scale-expressions of recursive feedback. It redefines matter as stabilized recursion, intelligence as corrective feedback, and ethics as structural alignment.

 

Across seven parts, this document:

 

Explains systemic collapse as suppressed recursion

Defines truth as recursive survivability, not belief

Describes matter, intelligence, and healing as feedback convergence

Unifies particle formation, entropy, and AI alignment under one law

Reveals the misuse of scripture as blocked return

Offers a map for structural re-alignment at global, institutional, and personal levels

 

 

This is not a theory.

It is a pattern already in motion.

It does not require belief.

It requires only that you stop resisting return.

Antigenic profiling and target specific isolation of mAb against viral spike protein of emerging diseases
Creators: name: Gao, Qiao
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2021

description: Outbreak of viral infections cause infectious diseases with variable mortality rates and are associated with serious public health concerns and major economic crippling. Two notable examples of such emerging diseases are Chikungunya and the current pandemic of COVID19, Most viral particles enter target host cells through the specific interaction between their surface glycoproteins and target host cell surface receptor(s) in the viral life cycle. As such, the surface glycoproteins (also known as spike proteins) have been the focus to identify potential neutralizing monoclonal antibodies (nmAbs) for antibody therapy. While many neutralizing mAbs that prevent host cell surface receptors binding have shown potent immune responses, the receptor-binding domain (RBD) of viral surface proteins is prone to hypermutations, resulting in the emergence of more virulent strains. Using the technique of yeast surface display (YSD), the immunodominant epitopes within the Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) surface glycoproteins was comprehensively mapped using patient convalescent serum, and a novel immunodominant epitope(s) within the CHIKV-E1 was identified and used to isolate E1-specific mAbs from phage single-chain variable fragment (ScFv) library. After which, a panel of ScFvs were expressed as human IgGs to carry out biochemical and structural analysis. Using similar principles and approaches, a conserved immunodominant epitope within the S2 domain of MERS-CoV was identified, which was used to isolate a panel of cross-reactive mAbs from SARS patient samples that showed cross-reactivity and neutralizing ability. More importantly, these mAbs also showed neutralizing ability to the SARS-CoV-2. Furthermore, CHIK-virus like particals(VLP) was expressed in different expression systems, and chimeric-VLP for SARS-CoV-2 RBD was generated using the SpyCatcher/SpyTag system to assess the feasibility of potential vaccine candidates for both CHIK and COVID19.

Metamorphic Testing for Software Libraries and Graphics Compilers
Creators: name: Lascu, Andrei
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2021

description: Metamorphic Testing is a testing technique which mutates existing test cases in semantically equivalent forms, by making use of metamorphic relations, while avoiding the oracle problem. However, these required relations are not readily available for a given system under test. Defining effective metamorphic relations is difficult, and arguably the main obstacle towards adoption of metamorphic testing in production-level software development. One example application is testing graphics compilers, where the approximate and under-specified nature of the domain makes it hard to apply more traditional techniques. We propose an approach with a lower barrier of entry to applying metamorphic testing for a software library. The user must still identify relations that hold over their particular library, but can do so within a development-like environment. We apply methods from the domains of metamorphic testing and fuzzing to produce complex test cases. We consider the user interaction a bonus, as they can control what parts of the target codebase is tested, potentially focusing on less-tested or critical sections of the codebase. We implement our proposed approach in a tool, MF++, which synthesises C++ test cases for a C++ library, defined by user-provided ingredients. We applied MF++ to 7 libraries in the domains of satisfiability modulo theories and Presburger arithmetic,. Our evaluation of MF++ was able to identify 21 bugs in these tools. We additionally provide an automatic reducer for tests generated by MF++, named MF++R. In addition to minimising tests exposing issues, MF++R can also be used to identify incorrect user-provided relations. Additionally, we investigate the combined use of MF++ and MF++R in order to augment code coverage of library test suites. We assess the utility of this application by contributing 21 tests aimed at improving coverage across 3 libraries.

description: Background: In this paper, we present the protocol for a cluster-randomised trial to evaluate the implementation and effectiveness of a workplace mental health intervention in the state-wide police department of the south-eastern Australian state of Victoria. n. The primary aims of the intervention are to improve psychosocial working conditions and mental health literacy, and secondarily to improve mental health and organisational outcomes. Methods/design: The intervention was designed collaboratively with Victoria Police based on a mixed methods pilot study, and combines multi-session leadership coaching for the senior officers within stations (e.g., Sergeants, Senior Sergeants) with tailored mental health literacy training for lower and upper ranks. Intervention effectiveness will be evaluated using a two-arm cluster-randomised trial design, with 12 police stations randomly assigned to the intervention and 12 to the non-intervention/usual care control condition. Data will be collected from all police members in each station (estimated at >20 per station). Psychosocial working conditions (e.g., supervisory support, job control, job demands), mental health literacy (e.g., knowledge, confidence in assisting someone who may have a mental health problem), and mental health will be assessed using validated measures. Organisational outcomes will include organisational depression disclosure norms, organisational cynicism, and station-level sickness absence rates. The trial will be conducted following CONSORT guidelines. Identifying data will not be collected in order to protect participant privacy and to optimise participation, hence changes in primary and secondary outcomes will be assessed using a two-sample t-test comparing summary measures by arm, with weighting by cluster size. Discussion: This intervention is novel in its integration of stressor-reduction and mental health literacy-enhancing strategies. Effectiveness will be rigorously evaluated, and if positive results are observed, the intervention will be adapted across Victoria Police (total employees ~16,500) as well as possibly in other policing contexts, both nationally and internationally.

description: Expression of miR-154 is upregulated in the diseased heart and was previously shown to be upregulated in the lungs of patients with pulmonary fibrosis. However, the role of miR-154 in a model of sustained pressure overload-induced cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis had not been assessed. To examine the role of miR-154 in the diseased heart, adult male mice were subjected to transverse aortic constriction for four weeks, and echocardiography was performed to confirm left ventricular hypertrophy and cardiac dysfunction. Mice were then subcutaneously administered a locked nucleic acid antimiR-154 or control over three consecutive days (25 mg/kg/day) and cardiac function was assessed 8 weeks later. Here, we demonstrate that therapeutic inhibition of miR-154 in mice with pathological hypertrophy was able to protect against cardiac dysfunction and attenuate adverse cardiac remodelling. The improved cardiac phenotype was associated with attenuation of heart and cardiomyocyte size, less cardiac fibrosis, lower expression of atrial and B-type natriuretic peptide genes, attenuation of profibrotic markers, and increased expression of p15 (a miR-154 target and cell cycle inhibitor). In summary, this study suggests that miR-154 may represent a novel target for the treatment of cardiac pathologies associated with cardiac fibrosis, hypertrophy and dysfunction.
Studies in Complex Systems: Complex Networks with Hidden Layers & Modelling Atrial Fibrillation
Creators: name: Falkenberg McGillivray, Max
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2021

description: This thesis, covering the broad theme of complexity science, is split into two parts. In part 1, I discuss models of network growth with hidden network layers. First, I introduce the “k2 model”, based on linear preferential attachment, where the attachment probability is proportional to the number of nodes within two steps of a target node. The model generates time dependent degree distributions and attachment kernels, despite initially appearing to grow as linear preferential attachment. Subsequently, I focus on node copying models. Motivated by observations of asymmetric triadic closure in real networks, I introduce a model of heterogeneous copying, built using a hidden and observed network layer. Framed in a social context, these two layers represent a node’s inner social circle, and wider social circle, such that the model can bias copying probabilities towards, or against, a node’s inner circle of friends. Compared to homogeneous copying, this heterogeneous model suppresses power-laws, leads to unusually high clustering, and results in size-independent clique growth. Part 2 discusses simple percolation-based models of atrial fibrillation (AF), the most common cardiac arrhythmia. First, I introduce a 3d-analogue of a previous 2d lattice model. The model highlights the unification of previous discrepant observations in the clinical literature, specifically, how asymmetry in the fibre structure between the inside and the outside of the heart leads to differences in the observed surface activation patterns. The 3d model is not representative of real atrial geometries. Hence, I subsequently introduce a further adaptation of the model in which signals propagate on a spatial network representation of the atria, which can be adapted for use with real imaging data. The model highlights how, as the atria become increasingly decoupled through the accumulation of interstitial fibrosis, the successful termination of fibrillation via ablation becomes increasingly difficult.

description: Background: With improvements in treatment of cancer, more men of fertile age are survivors of cancer. This study evaluates trends in birth rates among male cancer survivors and mortality rates of their offspring. Methods: From the Swedish Multi-generation Register and Cancer Register, we identified 84,752 men ≤70 years with a history of cancer, for which we calculated relative birth rates as compared to the background population(Standardized Birth Ratios, SBRs). We also identified 126,696 offspring of men who had cancer, and compared their risks of death to the background population(Standardized Mortality Ratio, SMRs). Independent factors associated with reduced birth rates and mortality rates were estimated with Poisson modelling. Results: Men with a history of cancer were 23 % less likely to father a child compared to the background population(SBR 0.77, 95 % Confidence Interval[CI] 0.75-0.79). Nulliparous men were significantly more likely to father a child after diagnosis (SBR 0.81, 95 % CI 0.79-0.83) compared to parous men (SBR 0.68, 95 % CI 0.66-0.74). Cancer site(prostate), onset of cancer during childhood or adolescence, parity status at diagnosis(parous), current age(>40 years) and a recent diagnosis were significant and independent predictors of a reduced probability of fathering a child after diagnosis. Of the 126,696 children born to men who have had a diagnosis of cancer, 2604(2.06 %) died during follow up. The overall mortality rate was similar to the background population(SMR of 1.00, 95 %CI 0.96-1.04) and was not affected by the timing of their birth in relation to father's cancer diagnosis. Conclusion: Male cancer survivors are less likely to father a child compared to the background population. This is influenced by cancer site, age of onset and parity status at diagnosis. However, their offspring are not at an increased risk of death.

description: Background: The symptom profile and neuropsychological functioning of individuals with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), change as they enter adolescence. It is unclear whether variation in brain structure and function parallels these changes, and also whether deviations from typical brain development trajectories are associated with differential outcomes. This paper describes the Neuroimaging of the Children's Attention Project (NICAP), a comprehensive longitudinal multimodal neuroimaging study. Primary aims are to determine how brain structure and function change with age in ADHD, and whether different trajectories of brain development are associated with variations in outcomes including diagnostic persistence, and academic, cognitive, social and mental health outcomes. Methods/Design: NICAP is a multimodal neuroimaging study in a community-based cohort of children with and without ADHD. Approximately 100 children with ADHD and 100 typically developing controls will be scanned at a mean age of 10 years (range; 9-11years) and will be re-scanned at two 18-month intervals (ages 11.5 and 13 years respectively). Assessments include a structured diagnostic interview, parent and teacher questionnaires, direct child cognitive/executive functioning assessment and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). MRI acquisition techniques, collected at a single site, have been selected to provide optimized information concerning structural and functional brain development. Discussion: This study will allow us to address the primary aims by describing the neurobiological development of ADHD and elucidating brain features associated with differential clinical/behavioral outcomes. NICAP data will also be explored to assess the impact of sex, ADHD presentation, ADHD severity, comorbidities and medication use on brain development trajectories. Establishing which brain regions are associated with differential clinical outcomes, may allow us to improve predictions about the course of ADHD.

description: Despite high numbers of cats admitted to animal shelters annually, there is surprisingly little information available about the characteristics of these cats. In this study, we examined 195,387 admissions to 33 Australian RSPCA shelters and six friends of the RSPCA groups from July 2006 to June 2010. The aims of this study were to describe the numbers and characteristics of cats entering Australian RSPCA shelters, and to describe reasons for cat surrender. Data collected included shelter, state, admission source, age, gender, date of arrival, color, breed, reproductive status (sterilized or not prior to admission), feral status and surrender reason (if applicable). Most admissions were presented by members of the general public, as either stray animals or owner-surrenders, and more kittens were admitted than adults. Owner-related reasons were most commonly given for surrendering a cat to a shelter. The most frequently cited owner-related reason was accommodation (i.e., cats were not allowed). Importantly, although the percentage of admissions where the cat was previously sterilized (36%) was the highest of any shelter study reported to date, this was still lower than expected, particularly among owner-surrendered cats (47%). The percentage of admissions where the cat was previously sterilized was low even in jurisdictions that require mandatory sterilization.
What does wellbeing do? An approach to defamiliarize keywords in youth studies

description: Wellbeing has become a keyword in youth and social policy, a construct deployed as a measure of a good life. Often associated with physical and mental health, wellbeing encompasses numerous indicators, from subjective experiences of happiness and satisfaction to markers of economic prosperity and basic human needs of security. This article examines wellbeing as an organizing concept in discourses on young people and argues for defamiliarizing its truth claims and cultural authority by investigating what wellbeing does. We begin by examining the rise of wellbeing, drawing attention to its conceptual muddiness and ambiguity. Framed by the Foucauldian notion of problematization, the analysis proceeds along two routes: first, through an historical consideration of wellbeing as a relational concept with antecedents, focusing on ‘self-esteem’; and second, through a reading of wellbeing in contemporary educational policy. Informed by Somers' historical sociology of concept formation and Bacchi's critical policy analysis, we illuminate the mixed dimensions of wellbeing's reach, placing it within longer traditions of youth studies and psy-knowledges and showing its transformative promise as well as its individualizing effects. In doing so, we elaborate a methodological approach that can be adapted to examine other keywords in youth studies and social policy discourse.

description: Background: People with aphasia and their family members are at high risk of experiencing post stroke depression. The impact of early interventions on mood and quality of life for people with aphasia is unknown. Methods/design: This study will determine whether an early intervention for both the person with aphasia after stroke and their family members leads to better mood and quality of life outcomes for people with aphasia, and less caregiver burden and better mental health for their family members. This is a multicenter, cluster-randomized controlled trial. Clusters, which are represented by Health Service Districts, will be randomized to the experimental intervention (Aphasia Action Success Knowledge Program) or an attention control (Secondary Stroke Prevention Information Program). People with aphasia and their family members will be blinded to the study design and treatment allocation (that is, will not know there are two arms to the study). Both arms of the study will receive usual care in addition to either the experimental or the attention control intervention. A total of 344 people with aphasia and their family members will be recruited. Considering a cluster size of 20, the required sample size can be achieved from 18 clusters. However, 20 clusters will be recruited to account for the potential of cluster attrition during the study. Primary outcome measures will be mood and quality of life of people with aphasia at 12 months post stroke. Secondary measures will be family member outcomes assessing the impact of caregiving and mental health, and self-reported stroke risk-related behaviors of people with aphasia. Discussion: This is the first known program tailored for people with aphasia and their family members that aims to prevent depression in people with aphasia by providing intervention early after the stroke. Trial registration: This trial is registered in the Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry (ANZCTR) as ACTRN12614000979651. Date registered: 11 September 2014.

description: Los bosques tienen gran importancia en la regulación de gases de efecto invernadero, ya que son capaces de fijar parte del CO2 presente en la atmósfera dentro de su estructura (hojas, ramas, fuste), lo que recibe el nombre de Biomasa Aérea (BA). La cantidad de BA presente en los diversos ecosistemas forestales podría estar relacionada con algunos factores ambientales. El presente documento tuvo como objetivo identificar si existe relación entre la Temperatura Superficial(TS) estimada a partir de productos satelitales de las misiones Landsat TM y MODIS. La información de BA fue obtenida a partir de mapas de estimación de biomasa previamente desarrollados, mientras que la TS fue estimada a partir de los productos antes mencionados. Se encontró una correlación inversa entre la BA y la TS. La correlación más significativa se observó con los valores de Landsat TM (-0.63) y fue más baja con respecto a la información proveniente de MODIS (-0.42). Utilizar la información de Landsat resulta más conveniente, debido a que su resolución espacial, presenta mayor relación con los valores de BA.

description: Objective: The Trans Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPP) is a recently concluded free trade agreement involving Australia and 11 other Pacific-rim nations, which has the potential for far-reaching impacts on public health. A health impact assessment (HIA) was carried out during the negotiations to determine the potential future public health impact in Australia and to provide recommendations to mitigate potential harms. This paper explores the findings and outcomes of the HIA, and how this approach can be used to provide evidence for public health advocacy. Design: A modified version of the standard HIA process was followed. The HIA was led by technical experts in HIA, trade policy, and health policy, in collaboration with advocacy organisations concerned with the TPP and health. The HIA reviewed the provisions in leaked TPP text in order to determine their potential impact on future health policy. As part of this process, researchers developed policy scenarios in order to examine how TPP provisions may affect health policies and their subsequent impact to health for both the general and vulnerable populations. The four policy areas assessed were the cost of medicines, tobacco control, alcohol control and food labelling. Results: In all areas assessed, the HIA found that proposed TPP provisions were likely to adversely affect health. These provisions are also likely to more adversely affect the health of vulnerable populations. Conclusions: The HIA produced relevant evidence that was useful in advocacy efforts by stakeholders, and engaging the public through various media platforms.

description: This report has been produced as a result of the activity of MIRRI work package 8, task 8.3, and it is tightly linked to the previous reports from the same work package, namely the report on minimum standards for data acquisition and data management and mechanisms to incentivize the deposit of quality data (D8.1) and the report on users‘ requests, desired features, and meta-analyses of the integrated platform (D8.5). These reports were taken into account while preparing this deliverable, in order to avoid needless repetitions and to better specify correspondences and synergies.

In the first report, deliverable D8.1, the MIRRI Information System (MIRRI-IS) vision and strategy was introduced. It describes how MIRRI will distinguish itself‖ on the basis of the following features (which are here rephrased):

i) ensure high data quality by an intensive data curation activity,

ii) guarantee data integration across mBRCs/CCs and interoperability of related systems,

iii) provide an open platform for downstream data analysis and product development,

iv) establish complementarity with other disciplines, applying appropriate data structure and ontologies.

Conclusions of deliverable D8.5 pointed out how the main obstacle for the building of the MIRRI-IS refers to defining a core set of data fields across BRCs invoking ontology/controlled vocabularies where necessary and feasible.

This, essentially, is the core of this report. In this deliverable, we have mainly faced the following issues:

- the status of current culture collection data management systems,

- the present guidelines for culture collection data,

- the semantic resources that can support both an improved management of and an advanced access to culture collection data,

- the information systems that relate to the microbiological domain and should interoperate with the MIRRI-IS.
