description: Purpose: Growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) is a 44-amino acid peptide that regulates growth hormone (GH) secretion. We hypothesized that GHRH receptor (GHRH-R) in alveolar type 2 (AT2) cells could modulate pro-inflammatory and possibly subsequent pro-fibrotic effects of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or cytokines, such that AT2 cells could participate in lung inflammation and fibrosis. Methods: We used human alveolar type 2 (iAT2) epithelial cells derived from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) to investigate how GHRH-R modulates gene and protein expression. We tested iAT2 cells’ gene expression in response to LPS or cytokines, seeking whether these mechanisms caused endogenous production of pro-inflammatory molecules or mesenchymal markers. Quantitative real-time PCR (RT-PCR) and Western blotting were used to investigate differential expression of epithelial and mesenchymal markers. Result: Incubation of iAT2 cells with LPS increased expression of IL1-β and TNF-α in addition to mesenchymal genes, including ACTA2, FN1 and COL1A1. Alveolar epithelial cell gene expression due to LPS was significantly inhibited by GHRH-R peptide antagonist MIA-602. Incubation of iAT2 cells with cytokines like those in fibrotic lungs similarly increased expression of genes for IL1-β, TNF-α, TGFβ-1, Wnt5a, smooth muscle actin, fibronectin and collagen. Expression of mesenchymal proteins, such as N-cadherin and vimentin, were also elevated after prolonged exposure to cytokines, confirming epithelial production of pro-inflammatory molecules as an important mechanism that might lead to subsequent fibrosis. Conclusion: iAT2 cells clearly expressed the GHRH-R. Exposure to LPS or cytokines increased iAT2 cell production of pro-inflammatory factors. GHRH-R antagonist MIA-602 inhibited pro-inflammatory gene expression, implicating iAT2 cell GHRH-R signaling in lung inflammation and potentially in fibrosis.

Development of a bond-based peridynamic model for masonry structures
Creators: name: Du, Rongshu
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Masonry is a popular construction material that has many desirable properties including ease of construction, durability, and fire resistance. However, numerical modeling of masonry prisms and structures with hollow masonry units, such as hollow concrete blocks, remains a challenge due to a discontinuous interface between masonry units and grout. This thesis proposed a new bond-based peridynamic (BPD) model to simulate the nonlinear response of masonry structures. The proposed BPD model was verified using an experimental study. The result demonstrated that the proposed BPD model can effectively simulate the behaviour of masonry prisms. The verified BPD model was implemented using a parallel version of an open-source finite element analysis platform, OpenSeesMP. A parametric study, including the prism height-to-thickness ratio, inclusion of grout, grout strength, and block configuration, was conducted to simulate the ultimate strength and failure mode of masonry prism under compression load. The result shows that the masonry compression strength increases with decreasing height-to-thickness ratio, inclusion of grout, higher grout strength, and block configuration without central web.

title: Aligning expectations to experiences: A qualitative study of international students enrolled on privately provided UK university pathway programmes.
Creators: name: Cunnington, Mark John
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2019

description: Against a neoliberal backdrop impelling evolving changes to university funding and income streams, the private pathway sector has established itself in the last decade as a key partner in recruiting and teaching international students for universities. Pathway providers deliver year-long courses for international students, usually at university-based Study Centres. Almost 50% of UK pathway programmes are delivered for universities in partnership with private providers (ICEF, 2016a). Typically, Foundation programmes permit students access to undergraduate university Degrees. A risk posed is that in the commercial drive to increase international student numbers, a mismatch occurs between students’ perceptions of a university’s pathway programme and the students’ subsequent experiences. This thesis examines whether the early experiences of international students on UK-university based, privately delivered Foundation programmes, matched their expectations set during recruitment. A qualitative study using Mazzarol & Soutar’s (2002) “pull” factors as the theoretical basis for the research, 35 international students enrolled on privately delivered Foundation programmes at six UK universities took part in focus groups and online interviews. The participants provided direct insights into their reasons for studying in the UK, their expectations established during the recruitment process and subsequent on-campus experiences. Data from the focus groups and interviews were initially open coded in an inductive process, with further coding deductively testing the presence or absence of themes in international student literature. Online interviews with participants further explored premises established from the focus groups. The research established five major findings to better align students’ expectations to their experiences. Students’ families are key influencers and should be engaged more during decision-making; personalised digital information tools should be leveraged to better set and managing student expectations; students must experience responsive ‘customer service’ during their pre- and post-arrival; misaligned early impressions of a university Study Centre hugely influences student experiences and satisfaction; and pathway providers must promote the pedagogical uniqueness of their offering and quality of teaching staff to prospective students. With little literature examining international pathway provision, specifically pertaining to international student expectations and experiences, the research contributes new knowledge to this fast-growing international sector.
title: The interplay between energy security and law and policy on green energy development: a socio-legal analysis
Creators: name: Rutherford, A
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2019

description: This thesis examines the interplay between energy security and law and policies promoting green energy. Based on empirical work carried out in two very different country case studies – Great Britain and Brazil – this thesis attempts to foster a better understanding of the role played by energy security in constructing and deconstructing green energy policy initiatives. Understanding the diversity of views on and the complexities of the interplay between energy security and green energy development is at the heart of this thesis. The diversity of views raised in national contexts leads to legal disputes in international forums when attempts are made to address the issues of this energy security-green energy interplay. As such, building on the findings of the case studies of Great Britain and Brazil, this thesis then analyses the interplay between energy security and green energy development in international trade law as encapsulated in the law of the World Trade Organisation (WTO), an international trade organisation which adjudicates between competing discursive claims surrounding energy security and green energy development and pronounces on their legal status. This thesis shows the complexity of the relationship between energy security and law and policies on green energy development and how the existing discursive constructions are broadening, deepening and transforming this interplay. In summary, the findings demonstrate the discursive contests that lead to divergent constructions of energy security not only in the context of different countries, but also in different sectors of the economy within a country. It also shows that the links between energy security and national and international law and policies on green energy pose challenges to a transition to a green energy system. In order to assist the energy transition, this thesis puts forward the adoption of the broader energy security concept in law and policies which includes environmental, climate and social considerations. It also argues for the incorporation of a dominant positive frame in relation to the interplay between energy security and law and policy on green energy development since a positive frame in relation to this link has the implication to significantly contribute to the promotion of an energy source. In addition, it advances the need to embrace emerging green energy technologies in energy systems and argues that an evenly distributed market share of green energy technologies and equipment around the world is the best solution to ensure green energy security in the context of the just energy transition. This thesis then proposes a way forward in creating the legal space in the law of the WTO for trade restrictive measures aimed at ensuring green energy security.
title: Using an Integrated Approach to Developing Leadership Capability in an Organisational Setting: The role of one-to-one executive coaching and group executive coaching
Creators: name: Ojukwu, DI
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2019

description: This thesis focused on the use of an integrated approach to leadership development, with special emphasis on the role of executive coaching (one-to-one coaching, and group coaching). I chose the topic for study due to its growing importance and utilisation in the corporate setting and higher education research. The demarcating lines between higher education and corporate education are getting thinner and thinner. Collaboration has bridged the gap between the two, while corporate universities and corporate academies are now offering some of the courses offered by higher education. Leadership development, in both the corporate world and higher education, share many commonalities; including coaching and mentoring. One can say that corporate learning has become the higher education for practitioners, as is being evidenced by the rise in the establishment of corporate universities and corporate academies. Corporate learning is an active area of investment for corporate organisations as corporate learning helps the organisations to improve and retain their leaders and professionals. This study used a phenomenological approach to capture the experience of those undertaking such development. This study aims at exploring participants' interaction with the world of leadership development through executive coaching, and the meaning they developed from that experience. The results offered some insight into the pros and cons of one-to-one executive coaching, and group executive coaching, and factors to consider when deploying either of these methods. The study also provided suggestions on how to improve the practice of executive coaching. It suggests measures that can be implemented to enhance learning for practitioners. It also suggests how one can leverage the concept of executive coaching in developing the organisation's leaders. This research contributes to the existing body of knowledge about executive coaching and leadership development, especially in a corporate setting and Higher education setting. This study concludes by calling for collaboration between institutions of higher education, the corporate community, and coaching practitioners, to create awareness, raise the standard and create a pragmatic and enduring legacy for executive coaching field.

title: UNDERSTANDING THE SOURCES OF STUDENTS’ SELF-EFFICACY DEVELOPMENT IN A CHINESE HIGHER VOCATIONAL INSTITUTE
Creators: name: Quek, A
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2019

description: ABSTRACT Self-efficacy theory (Bandura, 1997) posits that if individuals believe they have the capability to perform well in their endeavours, they are more inclined to be motivated, invest more effort and persist in the face of adversity (Klassen & Usher, 2010; Pajares & Schunk, 2001; Zimmerman, 2000). The study of efficacy beliefs is still a relatively new area of research in Chinese society (Kwan, Hui & McGee, 2010) and research into the influence of perceived self-efficacy or one’s efficacy belief on academic achievements is limited, especially in the context of vocational education. The purpose of this study is to understand the development of efficacy beliefs of Chinese students in vocational education. This study adopted a qualitative approach using face to face interviews in the data collection, and thematic analysis was used to analyse data collected from participants who were studying on a Sino-Australian hotel management programme at a higher vocational institute in China. The findings from this study indicated that the major sources of self-efficacy development are consistent with Bandura’s (1997) four hypothesized sources of self-efficacy. The findings also indicated that Influences of these sources of self-efficacy can be both positive in increasing perceived self-efficacy and negative by undermining efficacy beliefs development, depending on varying conditions such as how the information is valued and interpreted, and the timing of information received. Self-talk was found in this study as self-encouragement as well as a copying strategy to overcome anxieties and stressful situations. Participants also reported the beneficial influence of collective efficacy in the foreign component of their Sino-Joint Venture programmes as well as on their internship workplace. This study found that despite some participants’ with self-reported low perceived self-efficacy in certain domains, expressed the willingness and necessity to persevere with more effort to gain a chance of success. The findings also indicated that the participants generally believe that effort investment is necessary for achievement; however it is also necessary to first have belief in their capabilities. The implications are that the development of self-efficacy beliefs is important to help them make sense of their commitment to hard work and that the development of collective efficacy at the institutional level can change how vocational education is perceived in China. Key words: Chinese students; collective efficacy; effort investment; internship; mastery experience; perceived self-efficacy; physical and emotional status; qualitative research; relational efficacy, self-efficacy beliefs; sources of self-efficacy; vicarious experience; self-talk; social cognitive theory; vocational education.

title: A deterministic approach on working capital to strategically improve company performance
Creators: name: Briones, Oscar
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2019

description: The purpose of this investigation was to achieve three objectives: firstly, to determine to what extent profitability of Ecuadorian firms is linked with their short-term financial management; secondly, to contribute to current financial literature by providing additional variables that may explain business lucrativeness; and thirdly, to assist a real company using econometric tools. The investigation used both quantitative and qualitative research methods to obtain information. The quantitative analysis was based on annual financial statements submitted to the Ecuadorian Superintendence of Companies over a seven-year period. A series of iterative models were created, using, pooled ordinary least squares, random and fixed effects under the context of panel data. The tests revealed that fixed effects should be used to explain profitability. Qualitative information was obtained by applying action research as a means to gain in-depth knowledge of learning through action in a real company. It was found that short term financial management measured by cash conversion cycle both explains and augments profitability when working capital is diminished. Return on equity was not statistically significant; moreover, it discriminates in terms of capital structure. The investigation implemented return on assets which has been widely proven an unbiased and reliable metric to measure profitability; findings here support that view. In addition, two cash conversion cycle components: accounts receivable period and accounts payables period were found to have a significant relation with profitability. The investigation found that the ratios for fixed asset turnover and times interest earned contribute to explain firm performance. These are new control variables not previously reported, thus these findings fulfilled the second research objective. The previous axioms served as the construct for company evaluation in the case of Cronos, a firm in the corporate sector. The assembled team strove vigorously to examine the situation of the company, debate action to be taken and take decisions. This process is reported. Ultimately, the set agreed to implement an aggressive working capital management strategy which steered the firm to profitability. The third research objective was therefore also fulfilled. This process allowed action research members to both achieve firm objectives and learn while acting as a single entity whose efforts have financial repercussions for all members.
title: A Simplicial Approach to Stratified Homotopy Theory
Creators: name: Nand-Lal, SJ
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2019

description: This thesis provides a framework to study the homotopy theory of stratified spaces, in a way that is compatible with previous approaches. In particular our approach will be closely related to the work of Frank Quinn on homotopically stratified sets. We introduce a stratified analogue of the geometric realisation-singular simplicial set adjunction, allowing us to relate simplicial sets to stratified spaces. This allows us to cofibrantly transfer the Joyal model structure from simplicial sets to the category of fibrant stratified spaces. We have chosen to use the Joyal model structure on simplicial sets over the Quillen model structure. This choice allows a partial (ordered) composition of simplices, which under the stratified adjunction corresponds to concatenation of stratified paths. One of the biggest advantages of working in a simplicially enriched model structure is the ability to exploit the combinatorial nature of simplicial sets, which helps us to prove results about stratified spaces. By studying the cofibrations and fibrations that we transfer to the category of stratified spaces, we see that the cofibrant stratified spaces satisfy one condition that Quinn imposed for homotopically stratified sets, and that the fibrant stratified spaces satisfy the other condition. Consequently, the cofibrant-fibrant stratified spaces in our model structure are closely related to homotopically stratified sets. To use our framework to study homotopy theory, we need a notion of basepoint for a stratified space. We define the basing of a stratified space to be a factoring of the counit on the underlying poset through a choice of continuous map to the underlying topological space. The requirement of a stratified space to be based provides a restriction on the stratified spaces, and as such there are examples of cofibrant-fibrant stratified spaces which cannot be based. To justify this approach we are able construct an adjunction between stratified suspension and loop space functors. In addition, we are able to construct an indexed family of categories for a based fibrant stratified space, which we call the homotopy categories of a stratified space. Importantly, in the case of a trivially stratified connected space, the homotopy categories coincide with the homotopy groups of the underlying topological space. The homotopy categories of a based fibrant stratified space behave analogously to homotopy groups. For example, we are able to extract a long exact sequence of homotopy categories from a stratified fibration. Furthermore, we are able to provide partial results towards construction of a Postnikov Tower of a based fibrant stratified space. Further research is required to complete this construction, which would hopefully lead to a stratified analogue of Eilenberg-Mac Lane spaces.

title: Weaponised Imagination: Sibling Collaborations and Rivalries in the Brontë and Rossetti Families
Creators: name: Richardson, A
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository

description: For the Brontë and Rossetti siblings, familial collaboration shaped their working methods from their earliest juvenilia to the end of their careers. Both sibling sets would continually compare their works and seek advice on how to develop their early writings – a sense of co-dependence they never fully outgrew. This thesis examines the dynamic of these sibling sets from the early need of parental approval; their ambitious juvenilia – and the need to maintain the familial connection such early works provided upon entering the adult world of work – and finally the autobiographical narratives of the surviving siblings. This analysis will explore how these siblings’ literary collaborations altered under the cultural expectations of class and gender, as well as familial aspirations. Nevertheless, the support network of childhood writings could be “restored” by recreating the motifs and methodologies of their early juvenilia. Weaponised Imagination applies close, comparative readings to works completed by the Brontës’ and Rossettis’ throughout their careers, which can be applied to literary families throughout history.

title: Exchange Rate Risk Premium Estimation and an Analysis of Exchange Rate Pass-through into Import Prices

description: This thesis investigates the workings of the exchange rate as it plays a key role in the financial market and international trading. Moreover, it has essential impacts on the monetary policy effectiveness. Chapter 1 discusses the initial motivations of this work, introduces the content of chapters, and briefly positions each essay. In Chapter 2, an innovative model with high predictive power is developed to estimate the currency risk premium based on the Taylor Rule fundamentals, which builds a bridge between exchange rates risk premium and macroeconomic variables. After that, the focus is switched to the exchange rate pass-through into import prices that measures the response of import prices to fluctuations in exchange rates. Chapter 3 studies the exchange rate pass-through into aggregated import prices for five developed economies while chapter 4 studies it on a disaggregated import price level for the UK. We found exchange rate pass-through differentiate across countries and we provide empirical evidences on the impacts of macroeconomic determinants of exchange rate pass-thorough. Finally, Chapter 5 provides concluding comments and suggestions for the future research. An appendix of all the equations introduced in this thesis is included at the very end.

description: In recent years, the European Union (EU) has substantially intensified its activities directed at externalising border/migration management towards the territories of third countries. This specific model of EU migration management is often realized at the expense of democratic scrutiny, judicial supervision, transparency and, most importantly, the protection of human rights. It also entails unprecedented challenges for the legitimacy of the EU in its international projection. Currently, EU cooperation with third countries appears focused on advancing EU's own interests and thus subordinated to the objectives of alleviating pressure on its external borders and reception capacities. Such EU action purports to prevent, as close as possible to the point of departure, irregular arrivals to EU Member States' territories, to ensure effective returns/readmission and to transfer the burden of protection responsibilities. This Special Section, composed of five contributions, aims to assess the implications of the externalisation of EU migration policies for the EU constitutional principles and values, and to take stock of the latest developments in different concrete policy areas. Particular attention is devoted to analyzing compliance of externalisation practices with the requirements imposed by the EU constitutional framework, specifically with the principles and values that should guide Union's external conduct in this area of law.

description: Objective: In rare cases, Lyme neuroborreliosis (LNB) can induce cerebral vasculitis leading to severe stenosis of the cerebral vasculature and consecutive ischemia. Therapy is based on anti-biotic treatment of the tick-borne disease, whereas interventional therapeutic options have not been assessed yet. Material and Methods: We report on a patient with LNB and concomitant stenoses and progressive and fatal vasculitis of the cerebral vessels despite all therapeutic efforts by the departments of neurology and interventional neuroradiology. In this context, we also conducted a literature review on endovascular treatment of LNB-associated cerebral ischemia. Results: A 52-year-old female presented with transient neglect and psychomotor slowdown (initial NIHSS = 0). MRI and serology led to the diagnosis of basal meningitis due to LNB with vasculitis of cerebral arteries. Despite immediate treatment with antibiotics and steroids, neurologic deterioration (NIHSS 8) led to an emergency angiography on day 2 after admission. Hemodynamically relevant stenoses of the MCA were treated via spasmolysis and PTA, leading to almost complete neurological recovery. Despite intensified medical treatment, the vasculitis progressed and could only be transiently ameliorated via repetitive spasmolysis. On day 19, she again presented with significant neurologic deterioration (NIHSS 9), and PTA and stenting of the nearly occluded MCA were performed with a patent vessel, initially without hemorrhagic complications. Despite all therapeutic efforts and preserved stent perfusion, vasculitis worsened and the concurrent occurrence of subdural hemorrhage led to the death of the patient. Conclusion: Neuroradiological interventions, i.e., spasmolysis, PTA, and, if necessary, stenting, can and should be considered in cases of LNB-induced vasculitis and stroke that are refractory to best medical treatment alone. Key point: Neuroradiological interventions can be considered in patients with vascular complications of Lyme neuroborreliosis as an additional extension of the primary drug therapy.

A deep learning approach for classification of pancreatic adenocarcinoma whole-slide pathology images

description: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) mortality rates are projected to rise by 2030 due to factors such as delayed diagnosis and resistance to chemotherapy and radiation therapy. A key challenge in treating PDAC is the lack of biomarkers for predicting treatment effectiveness and chemotherapy resistance. Researchers suggest a binary subtype system, basal-like and classical, can predict treatment selection and response, but identifying these subtypes requires costly and time-consuming RNA profiling. Histopathology, which provides an inexpensive and convenient visual readout of disease biology, has been essential in cancer diagnosis and prognosis for over a century. Artificial intelligence (AI) has recently been successfully applied to histopathology data, with AI-based models potentially outperforming traditional pathology assessments. However, an AI expert is needed to utilize and interpret these techniques. This research aimed to: 1) develop an AI-based pipeline to identify and detect histological features for classifying PDAC molecular subtypes, and 2) generalize the pipeline using a “Machine Learning Workflow Engine” and a “Web-based Slide Manager and Annotator” for processing and interpreting histopathology data. The researchers used the developed infrastructures to train and evaluate a deep-learning model for classifying PDAC patients into prognostic subgroups. They used 130 histological slides from the TCGA-PAAD dataset for training and 81 slides from 19 patients from an in-house dataset as the external test dataset. A two-step machine learning model was trained: 1) a classifier distinguishing tumor patches from stroma patches, and 2) a classifier predicting the molecular subtype of a slide based on tumor patches. The tumor/stroma classifier showed excellent performance with an AUC of 96.18% ± 1.84%, while the subtype classifier achieved a balanced accuracy of 96.19% ± 2.45% at the slide level. The model correctly classified 83.03% ± 6.35 of the patients' tumor molecular subtypes in the validation cohort. This classifier is the first to categorize PDAC patients based on biopsy samples.
