title: “Putting a plaster on a festering wound”: Perspectives on wellbeing initiatives amongst early career medical and academic professionals
Creators: name: Yañez Ospina, Claudia Mylena
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2024

description: This thesis explores employee wellbeing practices, specifically perceptions and experiences of wellbeing interventions in academia and the medical profession. It utilises a social constructionism approach to understanding the experiences pertaining to wellbeing at work of junior doctors and Early Career Researchers (ECRs). Using photo-elicitation semistructured interviews, this research examines wellbeing practices amongst junior doctors and ECRs. A Foucauldian perspective, particularly the notions of the neoliberal subject, governmentality and technologies of the self, is utilised to explore employer-led wellbeing interventions and the tensions that exist when individuals are presented with wellbeing interventions as well as the responsibility that relies on them as ‘neoliberal subjects’ to comply with the neoliberal organisations systems (e.g. audit culture, accountability and performativity). This thesis also draws on a sociological framework by looking at wellbeing as relational and processual, in terms of relationships with others. The relational approach to wellbeing explores the experiences of wellbeing; the type of relationships that individuals forge and how these within the workplace can shape the way wellbeing is experienced. Owing to dominant discourses of wellbeing which centre on individualistic behaviours and the responsibilisation for their own wellbeing, then within the workplace domain, this may also lead to the assumption that it is the ‘choice’ of the employee to participate in these interventions and act responsibly towards their own wellbeing. The findings in this research points to three themes: alternatives to resist to the neoliberal workplace and wellbeing discourse; the nature of work and possibilities of managing working conditions; and wellbeing practices outwith the workplace. These themes were analysed using crosscutting themes such as relationality, time and space, and the ‘ideal worker’ and ‘extreme work’ notions. This thesis has contributed to look at wellbeing as relational and processual which enable further understanding on how and why employees’ relationships with others (people, as well as animals and plants) shape their wellbeing practices beyond the workplace.

title: Interferometric intensity correlation: from sensing to imaging
Creators: name: Kassem, Khaled
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2024

description: Second-order intensity correlations (g (2)) of the optical field offer a robust framework for various applications due to their inherent resistance to phase noise and independence from temporal or spatial coherence, relying solely on intensity measurements. This thesis demonstrates the feasibility and advantages of this approach effectively.

The first project applies the g (2) detection method to microscopy. Initially, a single laser beam with a 10 nm bandwidth was used to achieve micron-level axial resolution, demonstrated with a biological sample. We then enhanced the resolution by using two laser beams of 10 nm bandwidth, separated by a wavelength of 150 nm, achieving nanometric axial resolution, as demonstrated by measuring a 5 nm step in a 10-layer graphene sample.

Next, we extend the dual-wavelength approach used in microscopy to synthetic wavelength holography, a technique commonly applied in non-line-of-sight imaging. We demonstrate that our method offers several advantages, including phase noise resistance and enhanced light gathering through the use of a larger aperture, which are crucial in low-light scenarios. This is validated by imaging through various scatterers: first, by imaging through two thin glass diffusers, then through 2.3 cm of optically thick volume scatterer, and finally by showing that we can measure while the scatterer is moving (dynamic), demonstrating our robustness to fluctuations induced by changes in the scattering medium.

Moreover, the potential of a dual-comb laser modality is tested within the experimental setup, aiming to enhance both speed and robustness by eliminating the necessity for mechanical scanning. By leveraging the dual-comb laser’s ability to perform optical delay scanning without mechanical movement, this method offers greater flexibility in terms of range and resolution. Proof-of-principle measurements substantiate this advancement and discuss both the potential of dual-comb lasers and the further developments needed to make them useful and applicable in practical scenarios.

Finally, we highlight the broad range of possible applications for g (2) methods, emphasizing how this work lays the foundation for future projects. By combining these techniques with emerging technologies, there is great potential to tackle new challenges and further expand the impact of this work in various fields.
title: The distribution of the classics in the incunabula period
Creators: name: Craig, Michelle Helen
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: incunabula, classics, materiality, Early Modern, printers, readers.

description: A fundamental component of the European Renaissance is its rediscovery of lost classical texts, the re-examination and reinterpretation of the traditional classics curriculum, and the integration of ideas from classical philosophy, scientific theory and literary form into early modern statesmanship, scholarship and artistic and literary culture. It has long been argued therefore, that the ideas of classical authors were fundamental in the creation of Early Modern Europe. Very few studies, however, have considered the importance of the methods behind the diffusion of Greco-Roman literature. This thesis - using a well catalogued sample of early printed books, the Glasgow University Library’s incunabula collection - examines each individual volume as a material object, evaluating it in terms of production concerns, reader response, and the book marketplace more generally. In doing so it not only sheds further insight into the books within Glasgow University Library’s collection but also into the material importance of this important group of texts in early modern Europe.

This is first of all achieved by forming a sample of all Glasgow University’s classical texts. Using a combination of extant literature, the ISTC, and books within the sample, geographical trends are uncovered. Other chapters examine the books within Glasgow University Library’s collection as material objects in order to ascertain the manner that they were produced or used. 

Aside from the classical ideas themselves, this thesis suggests that it is through examining the geographical spread, production and use of classical incunabula that we can appreciate the materiality of books in early modern Europe. It proposes that it was a genre in which printers could freely innovate and begin to experiment in language choice, production quality and intended readership, and as such, may have lain the foundations for the greater diversification of the European print market in the sixteenth century. In doing so, this thesis recommends that not only the reception of ideas in the early modern period be studied, but also their method of diffusion. In examining the material object alongside an appreciation of the importance of the textual content, new insight can be shed on importance of the genre in the period.
title: Gabriel the Victorious and Hungarian fiction in contemporary English translation
Creators: name: Szilágyi, Anikó
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: Hungarian literature, English translation, literary translation, contemporary translation.

description: This thesis employs multiple methodologies in order to explore Hungarian fiction in contemporary English translation as a distinct body of literature. It comprises three interrelated contributions: a bibliography, three case studies, and a translation. A bibliography of English translations of Hungarian novels published between 2000 and 2016 is presented in Appendix A, and Chapter 1 contains an overview of contemporary Hungarian-to-English fiction translation based on the bibliographic data, including a description of the assembly process. Chapters 2-4 focus more closely on a selection of these texts, tracing publication histories as well as target culture reception and interpreting translation shifts. Chapter 2 considers the language of Seiobo There Below by László Krasznahorkai (2013, tr. Ottilie Mulzet) in relation to the author’s vernacular oeuvre, and offers meta-artistic commentary on the target text. Chapter 3 investigates the concept of corporeal writing in Parallel Stories by Péter Nádas (2011, tr. Imre Goldstein), arguing that the organising principle of the source text is compromised in translation, which produces a fragmented work. Chapter 4 uncovers and categorises translation shifts in Journey by Moonlight by Antal Szerb (2002, tr. Len Rix) as an example of a recently translated Hungarian classic. Chapter 5 connects the analytical section of the thesis with the creative component that follows it. It departs from traditional academic discourse and uses a more reflective, lyrical mode of writing to explore the subjectivity of the translator and introduce the new text to its English-language readership. Finally, my English translation of the 1967 Hungarian novel Győzelmes Gábriel by György Méhes is presented under the title Gabriel the Victorious.

description: In this study, we conducted a comparative analysis of the inhibiting effect of two recently developed thiazolidine-2,4-dione derivatives, namely (Z)-3-allyl-5-(4-bromobenzylidene) thiazolidine-2,4-dione (TZD1) and (Z)-5-(4-bromobenzylidene) thiazolidine-2,4-dione (TZD2), on the corrosion protection of carbon steel (Csteel) in a 1 M HCl electrolyte. Both potentiodynamic polarization (PDP) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) techniques were used to do this comparison. The results indicate that the concentrations of TZD1 and TZD2, as well as the experimental temperature, are important factors that affect inhibitory efficacy. At 303 K and a concentration of 10−3M, the highest significant inhibition rates were achieved, reaching 93.7% for TZD1 and 91.7% for TZD2. The PDP analysis revealed that TZD1 and TZD2 are mixed-type inhibitors that primarily function as anodic inhibitors. Using the Langmuir isotherm model as a guide, TZD1 and TZD2 molecules chemisorb onto the steel surface. Surface characterization analysis utilizing scanning electron microscopy (SEM), contact angle (CA), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) confirmed this interaction. Additionally, UV-visible spectra showed that TZD1 and TZD2 molecules interact significantly with Fe ions at certain atomic positions. To investigate how the molecular structure of TZD1 and TZD2 affects their ability to inhibit corrosion, Fukui functions, Molecular Dynamics Simulations (MDS), and DFT calculations were employed. An examination was also conducted to determine how the thiazolidine derivatives protonate in an acidic environment. Strong agreement was observed between the outcomes of these different approaches.
title: Memory patterns and the dream narratives of Matthew 1-2
Creators: name: Shaw, Alistair Neil
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Memory patterns, memory devices, orality, rhetoric, dream narratives, Matthew 1-2, biblical register, cultural background.

description: The aim of this thesis is to explore the cultural background of Matthew’s dream narratives and in particular to try and establish whether the literary practice underlying them is closer to that of OT or Graeco-Roman literature. This will be done by looking at the ways in which the dreams were remembered and transmitted, analysing the text in search of “memory patterns”, devices used in oral and semi-literate societies with the aim of helping people remember a poem or a narrative. Many of these techniques use sound (e.g. alliteration, assonance and rhythm), but some engage with the structure of the material; occasionally an image might be applied to aid memory. Thereafter dream reports from a variety of other ancient sources will be analysed to reveal the memory patterns which underlie them. Subsequently the results will be compared, with attention focused on the few devices which are culturally specific and elsewhere noting the frequency with which devices are used as authors typically express themselves.
The outcome will be to identify the cultural background within which the Matthean dream narratives emerge. 

The thesis will take the following shape. After an introductory chapter, there will be the literature review, followed by a chapter on methodology. The method used in the analysis of dream narratives is new and will provide a novel interpretive approach to this section of Matthew. Chapters on memory, orality and rhetoric, Matthew, and a comparison of his text with dream narratives in other literature will follow. Finally there will be a conclusion. 

In this thesis I argue that the Matthean narratives have greater affinity to Jewish material and OT in particular than to Graeco-Roman literature. The data gathered in the course of research also allows for other comparisons. Of particular interest are comparisons between the writers of OT and those of Hellenistic background and between Josephus and both the groups just mentioned. 

Several contributions are made to scholarship. Arguably the greatest of these is the methodology employed in the thesis. I also introduce the concept of ‘translation distortion’, which affects memory where an account of the past is originally expressed in a different language. I introduce comparison of Matthew’s use of oral sources with similar use in Herodotus and Pausanias, the latter living in the second century CE and his work rarely applied to NT studies.

description: The primary challenges in the Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) region are enhancing technological capabilities and information in agriculture and forestry. Land use change is also a pressing concern. This study is a systematic review and meta-analysis of recent research on the Google Earth Engine (GEE) platform for decision support in agriculture and forestry planning. It summarized policy frameworks, spatial indicators, and data tools from 59 studies between 2017 and May 2022. Cloud-based platforms like GEE and artificial intelligence have grown in applications for scientific analysis. The review concludes that the best practices for enhancing technological capabilities and information available in the agriculture and forestry sector in LAC include: (i) further leverage of GEE and the recent artificial intelligence techniques; (ii) a continued effort to expand spatial data infrastructure; (iii) a continued effort to share harmonized labeled datasets; (iv) a continued effort to overcome the current limitations in terms of sensor resolution and image processing; and (v) political and administrative issues (e.g. funding, sustainability). This paper can contribute to further interdisciplinary research and stakeholder coordination activities to generate benefits based on artificial intelligence and GEE tools, so that capabilities and services can be offered in each country of the region.

Diagnosis: Animals about 3 mm long, with a reddish head. With a small tail. Eyes red. Zoochlorellae absent. The male copulatory organ of the duplex-type IIIA. Female genital system of the EVELINAE - type. Female genital canal distally with a diverticulum, at the left side. With a lobular intestinal bursa, which is connected to the gut by a very rudimentary genito-bursal duct. A sphincter is present between the female genital canal and the intestinal bursa.
Remarks: The diverticulum of the female genital canal is more proximally situated than that of P. evelinae (Marcus 1946). According to Marcus (1946), the sphincter between the female genital canal and the intestinal bursa is not a genito-bursal duct, so the female system is not of the AGLOBULATA - type.

title: Personalities, politics and power: the British Chiefs of Staff Committee in the Phoney War, 1939-1940
Creators: name: McDowall, Colin John
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: COS, Chiefs of Staff, Chiefs of Staff Committee, Edmund Ironside, Dudley Pound, Cyril Newall, Churchill, Winston Churchill, Second World War, Phoney War, June 1940, September 1939, War Cabinet, Twilight War.

description: This thesis examines the Chiefs of Staff Committee’s (COS) decision-making and policy-making influence on Britain during the September 1939 to May 1940 period of the Second World War, commonly known as the Phoney War. To date, the actions of the COS during the Phoney War have come under little scrutiny. Historians have included only passing reference to the committee’s actions during the Winter War and the Norway Campaign, and have argued that its conduct was mired in error and misjudgement. As a consequence there is both confusion and debate over the COS’s contribution to Britain’s conduct in the Phoney War.

This thesis contains the first systematic analysis of the influence of the COS on Britain’s course during the Phoney War and it advances the argument that the inadequacies of the committee had a major impact on the planning and conduct of the Phoney War. This study places the COS in the context of Britain’s wider decision-making and policy-making machinery during the Phoney War, where it was answerable to the War Cabinet and responsible for Britain’s defence. It argues that the COS was inadequate as a committee and that it failed to recognise its own limitations and to acknowledge the wisdom of its advisers. While on some occasions the COS provided good advice to the War Cabinet, it failed to press its opinions with sufficient force, particularly when the War Cabinet overlooked its recommendations. Individually, the Chiefs were dominated by both Churchill and Ironside, a factor which consistently undermined the COS’s effectiveness in policy-making and decision-making; Chiefs of Staff Newall and Pound were too easily influenced by Ironside and were insufficiently forceful in exerting their positions. This thesis also proposes that Britain’s organisation for the higher management of the war was weak and that this hindered the effectiveness of the COS; the committee structure during the period September 1939 to May 1940 was overly bureaucratic and this occupied too much of the COS’s time. It concludes that the COS demonstrated inadequacies as a decision-making and policy-making committee, however, while found to be wanting, there were mitigating factors which impinged upon its ability to perform.

This thesis’s examination of the COS provides a better understanding of a little documented committee, which, although often overlooked, had a profound influence on Britain’s course during the Phoney War. Through archival research of the COS and War Cabinet papers this study will appraise the COS’s contribution to the unfolding of events between September 1939 and May 1940.

description: This thesis makes significant contributions to the field of AI-enabled video inpainting by addressing fundamental challenges in visual and contextual consistency, handling complex scenes with multiple layers, and computational efficiency. The proposed approaches—shortlong-term propagation, depth-guided modeling, and hierarchical sparse Transformer—have advanced the state of the art in video inpainting, achieving superior results across diverse datasets and tasks, including object removal and video restoration. Beyond addressing the technical challenges, these contributions establish a foundation for scalable and robust video inpainting methods that can be adapted for real-world applications in media production, healthcare, scientific research, and beyond.

Looking ahead, video editing tasks, including inpainting, are poised to witness transformative developments over the next 5–10 years. As AI techniques continue to evolve, future research is expected to focus on enhancing user interactivity and customization in video editing. By integrating Natural Language Processing (NLP) and generative models, video inpainting systems could allow users to specify their desired edits through textual prompts, enabling intuitive and precise control over the content generation process. Additionally, advances in multimodal learning may lead to systems capable of simultaneously processing video, audio, and textual data, providing comprehensive tools for complex multimedia editing tasks. However, some challenges must be addressed to enable widespread adoption of video inpainting technologies in real-world applications, such as real-time processing and the reliability and ethical concerns of AI-generated content in sensitive domains. By addressing the challenges of real-time performance, ethical considerations, and user-centric design, future research can further enhance the impact of video inpainting and related video editing tasks, paving the way for transformative advancements in media, healthcare, education, and beyond in the coming decade.

NBP/NIS material examined. 1 ♀, 1? from the following sites: Northwest Territories: Norman Wells; Nunavut: Kugluktuk (vi.1962; vi–vii.2011) (CNC, LEM).
Comments. Parapiophila dudai is present in northern Russia and Finland (Frey 1930; McAlpine 1977; Ozerov 2004b). McAlpine (1977) listed the species as Holarctic, but that was probably based on unpublished Nearctic records of NIS specimens in CNC. Ozerov (2004a) also listed P. dudai as Holarctic, but this may have been based on McAlpine’s (1977) statement.

title: Investigating the role of Ajuba LIM domain protein in Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma
Creators: name: Rolo, Sonia

description: The relationship between a cell and its microenvironment is complex, dynamic and bidirectional. In cancer, an altered extracellular matrix (ECM) composition promotes tumour development through the modification of activities such as cellular proliferation, metabolism, mobility and survival. In pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), the high matrix rigidity results in large tumours and leads to increased invasiveness. The ECM stiffness is sensed by cells through mechanosensing proteins and transduced by mechanotransduction actors into a cellular response. YAP/TAZ, several LIM domain proteins and a plethora of other proteins are involved in mechanotransduction pathways. Using polyacrylamide hydrogels of tuneable stiffnesses, I showed that cell morphology, proliferation, mRNA expression, transcription factors activities and cellular metabolism are modified by stiffness in a pancreatic KPC-derived mouse cell line (KRasG12D and p53R172H) named PDACA. The combination of polyacrylamide hydrogel stiffness and the use of RNA sequencing technology allowed me to identify Ajuba, a LIM protein, as a mechanosensitive protein. Ajuba was shown to be a versatile scaffold protein involved in many cellular activities such as adhesion, cell migration, invasion, and proliferation in many cancer types. However, in PDAC, the role of Ajuba is mostly unexplored. Our study shows that Ajuba localises at mature focal adhesions in PDACA cells. Interestingly, the downregulation of Ajuba induces a decrease in cellmatrix adhesion and an increase in cell invasion. However, no modification of focal adhesion formation, focal adhesion turnover or cellular migration was found. Finally, using a combination of polyacrylamide hydrogel stiffness and the use of RNA sequencing technology, I also showed that the downregulation of Ajuba modifies both mRNA expression and transcription factor activities. Collectively our results indicate that Ajuba is both a mechanosensitive and a mechanotransducer in PDAC.

Known distribution: Krakow (Poland) (Schmidt 1858), North France, Bohemia (Czech Republic), former Galicia (Graff 1909; Graff 1913); Saint Petersburg (Russia): ditch in Peterhofs park (Nasonov 1926); vicinity of Berlin (Germany) (Weise 1942); near Skútustaðir (Iceland), pond called Mývatn (Steinböck 1948).
Material examined: None.
Diagnosis: Animals about 3–4 mm long, coloured grey, although often green when zoochlorellae are present. Eyes greenish-black, situated at the lateral side of the head. Reproductive structures situated caudally from the gonopore.
Remark: Schmidt (1858) originally described the internal organization of P. galiziana as being identical to that of P. unipunctata, with the reproductive structures situated caudally from the gonopore. Therefore it seems reasonable to assume P. galiziana has a male copulatory organ of the duplex-type IIIA and a female system of the UNIPUNCTATA - type. However, Schmidt (1858) never mentioned any of these features when describing P. galiziana.
