description: Intangible assets are weightless and instantaneously transferable at minor economic incidence, theoretically, they should not have a spatial dimension, such a quality would question the public good status of knowledge. This thesis demonstrates that transfers of knowledge are bound to geography, meaning that there are significant consequences of place and geography. Furthermore, this finding has ramifications for decisions regarding performance evaluations of research output and impact. Because the location of a researcher can affect how their knowledge is diffused and adapted. These findings also shed light on how to transform the pace of development of nascent fields and how social networks, research travel funds etc can benefit society.
The Capital Asset Pricing Model: A Static Single Regression to a Dynamic Multi-Regression Model: US, UK and Australia: 1973 to 2017
Creators: name: Fowler, John Cottrell
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The capital asset pricing model (CAPM, 1964), and its successors (1993, 2015), present a primary theory of equity valuation and risk. Questions of the model include empirical under-performance, anomalous outcomes, constrained assumptions, uncertainties in the market coefficient, and absence of a completed theory. Structure of the benchmark CAPM is found to be limited and static. By comparison, a dynamic multi-regression model is tested successfully, the model incorporating asymmetric, reverting, and cycle-varying properties, behavioural and market-status influences, a discount rate measure of risk, and a dual profile of risk. The extended model provides a more complete macrofinance framework for investors and researchers.

Subjects: subject: Biology, Microbiology.

description: Recent work with a mouse model of T. vaginalis indicated that only 25% of mice harbour Lactobacillus spp. and T. vaginalis introduced in the vagina persisted for about 7 days after which it was rapidly eliminated. In an attempt to establish a better model of intravaginal infection that resembles human disease we established Lactobacillus acidophilus in estrogenized Balb/c mice. Rates of T. vaginalis infection in this group were then compared to a control group of mice who were not treated with L. acidophilus. The addition of L. acidophilus did not significantly alter the resident mouse vaginal flora. The interaction observed in the model between T. vaginalis and L. acidophilus was then examined in in-vitro competitive assays between the two organisms. Interesting was the deleterious effect of T. vaginalis on L. acidophilus seen in the combined cultures with the reduction in bacteria seen at a much greater rate than in matched controls. Finally, this modified model was employed in preliminary immunological studies of T. vaginalis infection. Mice immunized with T. vaginalis prior to intravaginal challenge were less likely to develop infection than controls. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

description: Background: Active management of existing health technologies (e.g., devices, diagnostic, and/or medical procedures) to ensure the delivery of high value care is increasingly recognized around the world. A number of initiatives have raised awareness of technologies that may be overused, mis-used, or potentially harmful by compiling them into lists of low value care. However, despite the growing number of lists, changes to local healthcare practices remain challenging for many systems. The objective of this study was to develop and implement a process, leveraging existing initiatives and data assets, to produce a list of prioritized low value technologies for health technology reassessment (HTR). Methods: An expert advisory committee comprised of clinical experts and health system decision-makers was convened to determine key process requirements. Once developed, the process was piloted to assess feasibility in the Canadian province of British Columbia (BC). Results: The expert advisory committee identified five required attributes for the process: data-driven, routine and replicable, actionable, stakeholder collaboration, and high return on investment. Guided by these attributes, a 5-step process was developed. First, over 1300 published low value technologies (i.e., from the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence [NICE] “do not do” recommendations, low value technologies in the Australian Medical Benefits Schedule, and Choosing Wisely “Top 5” lists) were identified. Using appropriate coding systems for BC’s administrative health data (e.g., International Classification of Diseases [ICD]), the low value technologies were queried to examine frequencies and costs of technology use. This information was used to rank potential candidates for reassessment based on high annual budgetary impact. Lastly, clinical experts reviewed the ranked technologies prior to broad dissemination and stakeholder action. Pilot testing of the process in BC resulted in the prioritization of 9 initial candidate technologies for reassessment. Conclusions: This is the first account of a systematic approach to move a collective body of low value technology recommendations into action in a healthcare setting. This work demonstrates the feasibility and strength of using administrative data to identify and prioritize low value technologies for HTR at a population-level.

description: Abstract: We aimed to compare the clinical data at first presentation to inpatient treatment of children (<14 years) vs. adolescents (≥14 years) with anorexia nervosa (AN), focusing on duration of illness before hospital admission and body mass index (BMI) at admission and discharge, proven predictors of the outcomes of adolescent AN. Clinical data at first admission and at discharge in 289 inpatients with AN (children: n = 72; adolescents: n = 217) from a German multicenter, web-based registry for consecutively enrolled patients with childhood and adolescent AN were analyzed. Inclusion criteria were a maximum age of 18 years, first inpatient treatment due to AN, and a BMI <10th BMI percentile at admission. Compared to adolescents, children with AN had a shorter duration of illness before admission (median: 6.0 months vs. 8.0 months, p = 0.004) and higher BMI percentiles at admission (median: 0.7 vs. 0.2, p = 0.004) as well as at discharge (median: 19.3 vs. 15.1, p = 0.011). Thus, in our study, children with AN exhibited clinical characteristics that have been associated with better outcomes, including higher admission and discharge BMI percentile. Future studies should examine whether these factors are actually associated with positive long-term outcomes in children.

description: Alternative drive concepts for trucks represent a highly promising way of reducing environmental pollution from road freight traffic. There are numerous proposals and pilot schemes pointing to the replacement of fossil fuel diesel by more sustainable energy sources. Along with drive chain electrification, it is a matter here of deploying alternative natural (gas) and synthetically generated fuels (eFuels) in combustion engines that might have to be modified. Given that a multitude of parameters on final energies, vehicle and travel route/ ambient conditions enter into the consumption calculation, it is usually difficult to compare the various drive concepts based on individually gauged consumptions/emissions. It is therefore proposed assessing the comparison on the basis of the same vehicle platform under practically the same deployment and route parameters. In other words, in order to examine an alternative energy as to its efficiency, only the vehicle drive chain is replaced - everything else remains as it is! The Fe coefficient in the heading is formulated to afford a simplified comparison of the various drive concepts under the above general conditions. Going into the Fe coefficient in each instance is solely the mean drive efficiency over the route ηE-N and the payload to total load ratio under full capacity utilisation ηkon (design efficiency).The calculated Fe coefficient provides information on consumption. The greater the Fe the higher the consumption. Under the same vehicle platform - and with consideration given to the above general conditions - the Fe coefficients of the various drive variants can be related one to the other and, in this way, the increase or decrease in consumption as against, for instance, the diesel benchmark can be established. In conclusion, the Fe coefficient is used in three case studies to assess the effectiveness as against the diesel benchmark of two electric battery (Fuso eCanter, Tesla Semi) trucks and one LNG-driven Iveco Stralis NP 400 truck.

description: This research examines economic development in a rural region, specifically how and why local people are supported to start new businesses in the region. I shine a light on the people providing support to entrepreneurs, and concentrate on how these supporters manoeuvre around social, political, environmental and economic tensions to create new economic options locally. This research shows how powerful people elsewhere shape economic outcomes in rural regions, and the strategies used by rural regions to carve out space for their own ideas and values. This research opens up new directions for designing just and sustainable development.

Synthetic approaches to complex organic molecules: Desogestrel, acetylenic allenophanes, and Buckminsterfullerene
Creators: name: Clay, Matthew D
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: Chemistry, Organic.

description: This thesis is composed of three sections and describes our work towards the synthesis of three molecules: Desogestrel, the first acetylenic allenophane, and Buckminsterfullerene. Section A details a tether-controlled diene-transmissive intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction approach to the oral contraceptive progestin Desogestrel. Using our indium-mediated gamma-pentadienylation chemistry as a key step, we synthesized tetraenes 92 and 68. Unfortunately, the intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction of these tetraenes resulted in formation of three isomers, bicyclo[4.3.0]nonenes 96 and 97, and the unusual bicyclo[3.3.1]nonene 99. Attempts to improve the selectivity were unsuccessful and precluded further pursuit of the synthesis. Section B of this thesis describes our design and asymmetric synthesis of the first acetylenic allenophane (308). This molecule represented a new class of cyclophane, and illustrative of the current interest in this type of molecule, several additional examples have since been reported, as well as an independent highlight in Angewandte Chemie. To complete our asymmetric synthesis, we developed a novel method of synthesizing tertiary propargyl alcohols (e.g., 299) in very good yield and enantioselectivity using a Sharpless asymmetric epoxidation as a key step. In contrast to the few procedures available for the asymmetric synthesis of tertiary propargyl alcohols, our protocol could be completed in roughly half the time, did not require the rigorous exclusion of oxygen or moisture, and did not require particularly specialized equipment. Section C describes our work towards a controlled laboratory synthesis of Buckminsterfullerene (C60) using hexakis[(Z)-enynyl]benzenes. We have developed several approaches to these molecules using trisubstituted benzene test substrates and have used these methods to construct hexasubstituted benzenes 417 and 418 from bromoaldehyde 399 . We are presently attempting to convert 418 to our cyclophane precursor to C60.

description: In outburst, neutron star X-ray binaries produce less powerful jets than black holes at a given X-ray luminosity. This has made them more difficult to study as they fade towards quiescence. To explore whether neutron stars power jets at low accretion rates (L X ≲ 10 36 erg s -1 ), we investigate the radio and X-ray properties of three accreting millisecond X-ray pulsars (IGR J17511-3057, SAX J1808.4-3658 and IGR J00291+5934) during their outbursts in 2015, and of the non-pulsing neutron starCenX-4 in quiescence (2015) and in outburst (1979). We did not detect the radio counterpart of IGR J17511-3057 in outburst or of Cen X-4 in quiescence, but did detect IGR J00291+5934 and SAX J1808.4-3658, showing that at least some neutron stars launch jets at low accretion rates. While the radio and X-ray emission in IGR J00291+5934 seem to be tightly correlated, the relationship in SAX J1808.4-3658 is more complicated.We find that SAX J1808.4-3658 produces jets during the reflaring tail, and we explore a toy model to ascertain whether the radio emission could be attributed to the onset of a strong propeller. The lack of a universal radio/X-ray correlation, with different behaviours in different neutron star systems (with various radio/X-ray correlations; some being radio faint and others not), points at distinct disc-jet interactions in individual sources, while always being fainter in the radio band than black holes at the same X-ray luminosity.

description: This study employs the MESSAGEix integrated assessment model to analyze the effects of emission cap implementation on India's thermal power sector. Given the significant contribution of thermal power generation to India's greenhouse gas emissions, policy interventions such as the proposed Indian Carbon Market (ICM) warrant rigorous analysis. The study examines the period from 2020 to 2050, assessing the impacts of varying emission caps on key metrics: installed generation capacity, electricity generation by source, projected emission trajectories, and associated system costs. Two scenarios are compared: a business-as-usual (BAU) projection and a moderate emission reduction scenario. The BAU scenario anticipates continued reliance on subcritical coal-fired power plants, coupled with rising coal-based generation and limited renewable energy growth. Conversely, the moderate emission cap scenario projects a substantial reduction in thermal power generation and capacity, particularly for coal-fired plants. This reduction is compensated by significant expansion of renewable energy capacity, notably in hydro, solar, and wind power, and necessitates the accelerated decommissioning of existing coal-fired capacity. The model optimizes the total discounted system cost, subject to techno-economic and societal constraints, including the imposed emission limitations. The results elucidate the inherent trade-offs between achieving emission reductions, facilitating technological transitions within the power sector, and minimizing overall system costs.

description: Per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of anthropogenic chemicals, which are not (fully) biodegradable and accumulate in different environmental compartments worldwide. A comprehensive, quantitative analysis - consisting of target analysis (66 different analytes, including e. g. ultrashort-chain perfluorinated carboxylic acids (PFCAs), precursor compounds and novel substitutes) and the Total Oxidisable Precursor (TOP) assay (including trifluoroacetic acid (TFA)) - were conducted to analyse the PFAS concentrations and patterns in 12 mammalian and two bird species from different areas of Germany and Denmark. The PFAS contamination was investigated in dependance of the trophic class (herbivores, omnivores, carnivores), ecological habitat (terrestrial, (semi-) aquatic) and body tissue (liver, musculature). PFAS concentrations were highest in carnivores, followed by omnivores and herbivores, with (sigma sign)PFAS concentration ranging from 1274 (micro)g/kg (Eurasian otter liver) to 22 (micro)g/kg (roe deer liver). TFA dominated in the herbivorous species, whereas perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS) and the long-chain PFCAs covered the majority of the PFAS contamination in carnivorous species. Besides trophic class, ecological habitat also affected the PFAS levels in the different species, with terrestrial herbivores and omnivores showing higher PFAS concentration than their aquatic counterparts, whereas for carnivores this relationship was reversed. The TOP assay analysis indicated similar trends, with the PFCA formation pattern differing significantly between the trophic classes. TFA was formed predominantly in herbivorous and omnivorous species, whereas in carnivorous species a broad spectrum of PFCAs (chain-length C2-C14) was formed. Musculature tissue of six species exhibited significantly lower PFAS concentrations than the respective liver tissue, but with similar PFAS patterns. The comprehensive approach applied in the present study showed, that primarily the trophic class is decisive for the PFAS concentration, as herbivores, omnivores and carnivores clearly differed in their PFAS concentrations and patterns. Additionally, the TOP assay gave novel insights in the PFCA formation potential in biota samples. /© 2023 The Authors

description: Background: To use Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) to characterize the severity, location, prevalence, and demographics of shoulder injuries in athletes at the Rio de Janeiro 2016 Summer Olympic Games. Methods: This was a retrospective analysis of all routine shoulder MRIs obtained from the Olympic Village Polyclinic during the Rio 2016 Summer Olympics. Imaging was performed on 1.5 T and 3 T MRI, and interpretation was centrally performed by a board-certified musculoskeletal radiologist. Images were assessed for tendon, muscle, bone, bursal, joint capsule, labral, and chondral abnormality. Results: A total of 11,274 athletes participated in the Games, of which 55 (5%) were referred for a routine shoulder MRI. Fifty-three (96%) had at least two abnormal findings. Seven (13%) had evidence of an acute or chronic anterior shoulder dislocation. Forty-nine (89%) had a rotator cuff partial tear and / or tendinosis. Subacromial / subdeltoid bursitis was present in 29 (40%). Thirty (55%) had a tear of the superior labrum anterior posterior (SLAP). Conclusion: Our study demonstrated a high prevalence of both acute and chronic shoulder injuries in the Olympic athletes receiving shoulder MRI. The high rates of bursal, rotator cuff, and labral pathology found in these patients implies that some degree of glenohumeral instability and impingement is occurring, likely due to fatigue and overuse of the dynamic stabilizers. Future studies are needed to better evaluate sport-specific trends of injury.

description: The digital shift leads to increasing changes. Employees can deal with changes through informal learning that enables needs-based development. For successful informal learning, self-regulated learning (SRL) is crucial, i.e., to set goals, plan, apply strategies, monitor, and regulate learning for example by applying resource strategies. However, existing SRL models all refer to formal learning settings. Because informal learning differs from formal learning, this study investigates whether SRL models can be transferred from formal learning environments into informal work settings. More precisely, are all facets relevant, and what are the relational patterns? Because informal workplace learning occurs through interaction with the context, this study investigates the influence of context, i.e., organizational learning culture and job characteristics (autonomy, task identity, and feedback) on SRL. Structural equation modeling of N = 170 employees in various industries showed the relevance of the self-reported metacognitive strategies planning, monitoring, and regulation; the resource strategies help-seeking and effort regulation; and deep processing strategy elaboration. However, there was no evidence for organization strategies. The learning strategies were associated with self-efficacy and mastery-approach goal orientation. Regarding context, results supported indirect effects over self-motivational beliefs of learning strategies. Organizational learning culture was connected with mastery-approach goal orientation, whereas job characteristics autonomy and feedback were related to self-efficacy, which were again related to SRL strategies. Therefore, context can empower employees not only to accomplish their tasks but to develop themselves by applying SRL strategies. The results are discussed, and practical implications are outlined.

description: Objectives: While regular physical exercise has many health benefits, strenuous physical exercise may have a negative impact on cardiac function. The ‘Berlin Beat of Running’ study focused on feasibility and diagnostic value of continuous ECG monitoring in recreational endurance athletes during a marathon race. We hypothesised that cardiac arrhythmias and especially atrial fibrillation are frequently found in a cohort of recreational endurance athletes. The main secondary hypothesis was that pathological laboratory findings in these athletes are (in part) associated with cardiac arrhythmias. Design: Prospective observational cohort study including healthy volunteers. Setting and participants: One hundred and nine experienced marathon runners wore a portable ECG recorder during a marathon race in Berlin, Germany. Athletes underwent blood tests 2–3 days prior, directly after and 1–2 days after the race. Results: Overall, 108 athletes (median 48 years (IQR 45–53), 24% women) completed the marathon in 249±43 min. Blinded ECG analysis revealed abnormal findings during the marathon in 18 (16.8%) athletes. Ten (9.3%) athletes had at least one episode of non-sustained ventricular tachycardia, one of whom had atrial fibrillation; eight (7.5%) individuals showed transient ST-T-segment deviations. Abnormal ECG findings were associated with advanced age (OR 1.11 per year, 95% CI 1.01 to 1.23), while sex and cardiovascular risk profile had no impact. Directly after the race, high-sensitive troponin T was elevated in 18 (16.7%) athletes and associated with ST-T-segment deviation (OR 9.9, 95% CI 1.9 to 51.5), while age, sex and cardiovascular risk profile had no impact. Conclusions: ECG monitoring during a marathon is feasible. Abnormal ECG findings were present in every sixth athlete. Exercise-induced transient ST-T-segment deviations were associated with elevated high-sensitive troponin T (hsTnT) values. Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov NCT01428778; Results.

description: Cette these tente de comprendre comment enterrent la notion de retard dans l'explication de la sous-representation des femmes dans les Parlements dans cinq pays occidentaux Canada, Quebec, France, Angleterre, Danemark. Elle cherche a savoir si cette sous-representation est due a un retard dans les droits (civiques, civils et sociaux) ou dans le fonctionnement de la societe. Ce qui permet dans cette meme veine de saisir le sens et l'utilisation de la notion du retard. Afin d'affiner la question, la presente these met a contribution des donnees statistiques sur la scolarisation des femmes et leur activite salariale, et des donnees puisees dans leur histoire socio-politique et juridico-culturelle. Il en ressort que la sous-representation des femmes au niveau de l'eligibilite est imputable, avant tout, aux modalites de fonctionnement de la structure politique qui ne prend pas en consideration les "avancees" effectuees par les femmes.

description: Systemic AL amyloidosis is a debilitating and potentially fatal disease that arises from the misfolding and fibrillation of immunoglobulin light chains (LCs). The disease is patientspecific with essentially each patient possessing a unique LC sequence. In this study, we present two ex vivo fibril structures of a λ3 LC. The fibrils were extracted from the explanted heart of a patient (FOR005) and consist of 115-residue fibril proteins, mainly from the LC variable domain. The fibril structures imply that a 180° rotation around the disulfide bond and a major unfolding step are necessary for fibrils to form. The two fibril structures show highly similar fibril protein folds, differing in only a 12-residue segment. Remarkably, the two structures do not represent separate fibril morphologies, as they can co-exist at different z-axial positions within the same fibril. Our data imply the presence of structural breaks at the interface of the two structural forms.

description: This study provides a comprehensive review of journeys through and out of
 domestic abuse experienced by Pakistani women living in the UK. The study
 shows the importance of understanding how intersectional disadvantages
 based on gender, race, culture and ethnic minority status can lead to
 Pakistani women experiencing life as inhabitants of inequalities.
 Questioning the White feminist notion of a ‘global sisterhood’, this study
 is underpinned by postcolonial feminism and attempts to give a voice to
 those who have been silenced. Drawing upon the narratives and voices of
 fourteen Pakistani women, this study finds that Pakistani women are prone
 to abuse from an early age. Patriarchal control and gender segregation
 have shaped Pakistani women’s identities, making them vulnerable to
 harmful customary practices such as honour codes. At the same time, the
 white curriculum, as an educational institution, plays a fundamental role
 in reproducing white privilege. This makes schools, colleges, and
 universities places where racism and stereotypes against ethnic minority
 groups take root and affect the trajectories of minoritised groups in
 society. This study sheds light on the obstacles that Pakistani women face
 when trying to escape their abusive relationships, including factors that
 worsen their vulnerabilities. The social structure, it seems, harms ethnic
 minority groups, contributing towards structural intersecting forms and
 revealing multiple layers of oppression experienced by Pakistani women due
 to both their race and gender.

description: Background Under conditions of gender-specific division of paid employment and unpaid childcare and housework, rising employment of women increases the likelihood that they will be faced with work-family conflicts. As recent research indicates, such conflicts might also contribute to musculoskeletal disorders. However, research in patient samples is needed to clarify how important these conflicts are for relevant health-related measures of functioning (e.g., work ability). We therefore examined, in a sample of women with chronic musculoskeletal disorders, the indirect and direct associations between the indicators of work-family conflicts and self-reported work ability as well as whether the direct effects remained significant after adjustment for covariates. Methods A cross-sectional questionnaire-based study was conducted. Participants were recruited from five rehabilitation centers. Work- family conflicts were assessed by four scales referring to time- and strain- based work interference with family (WIF) and family interference with work (FIW). Self-reported work ability was measured by the Work Ability Index. A confirmatory factor analysis was performed to approve the anticipated four- factor structure of the work-family conflict measure. Direct and indirect associations between work-family conflict indicators and self-reported work ability were examined by path model analysis. Multivariate regression models were performed to calculate adjusted estimators of the direct effects of strain-based WIF and FIW on work ability. Results The study included 351 employed women. The confirmatory factor analysis provided support for the anticipated four-factor structure of the work-family conflict measure. The path model analysis identified direct effects of both strain-based scales on self-reported work ability. The time-based scales were indirectly associated with work ability via the strain-based scales. Adjusted regression analyses showed that a five-point increase in strain-based WIF or FIW was associated with a four- and two-point decrease in self-reported work ability, respectively. The standardized regression coefficients were β = 0.35 and β = 0.12. Conclusions Our findings indicate that work-family conflicts are associated with poor work ability in female patients with chronic musculoskeletal disorders. However, longitudinal research is needed to establish a causal relationship. Better compatibility of work and family life might be an environmental facilitator of better rehabilitation outcomes in female patients with musculoskeletal disorders.

description: We propose a scheme involving cold atoms trapped in optical lattices to observe different phenomena traditionally linked to quantum-optical systems. The basic idea consists of connecting the trapped atomic state to a non-trapped state through a Raman scheme. The coupling between these two types of atoms (trapped and free) turns out to be similar to that describing light–matter interaction within the rotating-wave approximation, the role of matter and photons being played by the trapped and free atoms, respectively. We explain in particular how to observe phenomena arising from the collective spontaneous emission of atomic and harmonic oscillator samples, such as superradiance and directional emission. We also show how the same setup can simulate Bose–Hubbard Hamiltonians with extended hopping as well as Ising models with long-range interactions. We believe that this system can be realized with state of the art technology.

description: Background The main objective of every new development in total hip arthroplasty (THA) is the longest possible survival of the implant. Periprosthetic stress shielding is a scientifically proven phenomenon which leads to inadvertent bone loss. So far, many studies have analysed whether implanting different hip stem prostheses result in significant preservation of bone stock. The aim of this preclinical study was to investigate design- depended differences of the stress shielding effect after implantation of a selection of short-stem THA-prostheses that are currently available. Methods Based on computerised tomography (CT), a finite elements (FE) model was generated and a virtual THA was performed with different stem designs of the implant. Stems were chosen by osteotomy level at the femoral neck (collum, partial collum, trochanter sparing, trochanter harming). Analyses were performed with previously validated FE models to identify changes in the strain energy density (SED). Results In the trochanteric region, only the collum-type stem demonstrated a biomechanical behaviour similar to the native femur. In contrast, no difference in biomechanical behaviour was found between partial collum, trochanter harming and trochanter sparing models. All of the short stem-prostheses showed lower stress-shielding than a standard stem. Conclusion Based on the results of this study, we cannot confirm that the design of current short stem THA-implants leads to a different stress shielding effect with regard to the level of osteotomy. Somehow unexpected, we found a bone stock protection in metadiaphyseal bone by simulating a more distal approach for osteotomy. Further clinical and biomechanical research including long-term results is needed to understand the influence of short- stem THA on bone remodelling and to find the optimal stem-design for a reduction of the stress shielding effect.
