description: Purpose of the project: The primary purpose of this evidence-based practice project is to identify facilitators and barriers as well as best evidence clinical guidelines in improving the suboptimal HPV vaccination rates in pre-teen and teen boys. Methodology: This project evaluated the use of targeted educational interventions in vaccine-hesitant parents and caregivers in improving HPV rates. The project is a single group pretest/posttest design with no control group and purposive sampling of participants with boys ages 9-17 who have never initiated the HPV vaccine.Results: Statistical data indicate that one to one education regarding HPV vaccines does provide improved knowledge and creates positive changes in attitude regarding vaccine safety, vaccine efficacy, and sexual initiation.Implication for Practice: HPV education should be provided at the local level in order to reflect changes in both state and national levels. A closer look at the factors that prevent timely HPV vaccination in this gender group may be the sexual component of the vaccine. Therefore, it is important to develop strategies that promote policy changes at local, state, and national levels regarding HPV education.

description: Cholesterol is an essential component of mammalian cells. Cellular cholesterol levels are tightly regulated by various, well-characterized, homeostatic mechanisms that reside primarily in the endoplasmic reticulum. As the majority of cellular cholesterol resides in the plasma membrane and membrane derived vesicles, regulation of cholesterol homeostasis depends upon the transport of sterols from the plasma membrane to the endoplasmic reticulum. There are also other specific cellular membranes and structures that must be enriched with cholesterol for proper function. The regulation of sterol distribution between various membranes within the cell, and mechanisms behind specific intracellular sterol transport remain poorly understood. Elucidation of these processes remains key to our understanding of cholesterol metabolism and will be important for diagnosis and treatment of lipid related diseases. In this dissertation I describe my work with a putative progesterone binding protein, PGRMCl, and detail a novel role for this protein in intracellular sterol transport. Additionally, I report a previously uncharacterized protein function associated with PGRMCl, that of catalyzing the incorporation of cholesterol into membranes.  In Chapter 1 I review what is currently known about regulation of cholesterol homeostasis and intracellular sterol transport. In Chapter 2 I describe my initial work to characterize PGRMCl, its ligand, and its cellular function, and suggest a possible role in sterol metabolism. In Chapter 3 I describe the development of a large scale, high throughput, Synthetic Genetic Array screen designed to uncover genetic interactions between yeast PGRMCl and other genes, and report the results of that screen which further reveal its biologic function. In Chapter 4 I describe an in vitro assay developed to study PGRMCl ligand binding which provided important insights into PGRMCl's role in intracellular cholesterol transport. In Chapter 5 I describe how my work with PGRMCl helps define the role of an entire family of putative sterol binding proteins, and uncovers a possible drug target for the treatment of diseases of cholesterol metabolism.

description: Here, we propose an unsupervised fuzzy rule-based dimensionality reduction method primarily for data visualization. It considers the following important issues relevant to dimensionality reduction-based data visualization: (i) preservation of neighborhood relationships, (ii) handling data on a non-linear manifold, (iii) the capability of predicting projections for new test data points, (iv) interpretability of the system, and (v) the ability to reject test points if required. For this, we use a first-order Takagi-Sugeno type model. We generate rule antecedents using clusters in the input data. In this context, we also propose a new variant of the Geodesic c-means clustering algorithm. We estimate the rule parameters by minimizing an error function that preserves the inter-point geodesic distances (distances over the manifold) as Euclidean distances on the projected space. We apply the proposed method on three synthetic and three real-world data sets and visually compare the results with four other standard data visualization methods. The obtained results show that the proposed method behaves desirably and performs better than or comparable to the methods compared with. The proposed method is found to be robust to the initial conditions. The predictability of the proposed method for test points is validated by experiments. We also assess the ability of our method to reject output points when it should. Then, we extend this concept to provide a general framework for learning an unsupervised fuzzy model for data projection with different objective functions. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first attempt to manifold learning using unsupervised fuzzy modeling.

Nuovi modelli della organizzazione del lavoro e nuovi rischi

description: Il saggio si propone di inquadrare il complesso tema del rapporto tra nuovi modelli organizzativi e tutela della salute e sicurezza occupazionale nel più ampio contesto delle trasformazioni del lavoro: non solo la transizione ecologica e quella digitale ma anche l’impatto dei cambiamenti demografici. A questo fine la prospettiva di indagine prescelta cerca di rispondere alla domanda se oggi, al di là di ogni retorica sulla “nuova modernità”, sul lavoro (e di lavoro) si muoia esattamente per le stesse ragioni e ancora allo stesso modo di come avveniva cinquant’anni fa. Questa prospettiva aiuta a comprendere, dati alla mano e rispetto allo sforzo di ripensare il concetto sempre più polimorfo di organizzazione del lavoro, i progressi compiuti sul versante della sicurezza sul lavoro, là dove ancora non pienamente comprese sono le sempre più rilevanti problematiche di salute occupazionale e il loro impatto sul sistema prevenzionistico e sul sistema delle tutele assicurative. Da qui la consapevolezza di dover oggi pensare, nei mercati transizionali e sempre più fluidi del lavoro, non solo a regole giuridiche ma anche a reti sociali di protezioni in chiave partecipativa e comunque tarate sulla persona piuttosto che su (soli) luoghi fisici sviluppando una direzione di marcia già impressa all’apparato di tutele in materia prevenzionistica con il Testo Unico del 2008, grazie a una definizione ampia e universalistica di lavoratore affrancata dallo specifico status occupazionale o anche contrattuale. Una “sicurezza dei lavoratori” piuttosto che la mera “sicurezza nei luoghi di lavoro”.

description: Although nonspecific, pulmonary gallium  (Ga ) imaging is a useful diagnostic study in many diseases.  Positive (increased uptake) Ga  imaging has been reported in radiographic silicosis and asbestosis.  The purpose of this pilot study was to assess the use of Ga  imaging as an indicator of lung reaction to retained coal dust in underground coal miners with and without radiographic coal workers' pneumoconiosis (CWP).  Twenty-two coal miners with a minimum of 20 years of underground coal mining without other significant dust exposure or known pulmonary disease were studied. Eleven miners had radiographic CWP and eleven had normal chest radiographs.  The eleven miners with CWP by chest x-ray (CXR) were found to have an increased diffuse uptake (positive) image over their lung fields.  In five of eleven positive scans, increased activity was present in areas where no disease was noted on CXR. The eleven miners without CWP on CXR had normal scans.  In conclusion, radiographic CWP is associated with increased Ga  uptake (positive image).  There is also a suggestion that the scan is more sensitive than the corresponding chest radiograph in affected miners.  In addition, coal miners without CXR evidence of CWP have normal Ga  uptake.

description: The purpose of this study was to determine the conflict management behavior modes most often employed by the registered staff nurse at McKay-Dee hospital Center in Ogden, Utah and St. Markâ€™s Hospital in Salt Lake City, Utah.  To accomplish this objective, a descriptive approach was employed using a questionnaire, and adaptation of the Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument, along with a demographic information form.  This questionnaire contains 30 forced-choice statements, allowing the participant to select each of five behavior modes from 0 (for very low) to 12 (for high use) times each.  Analysis of the results revealed that all five behavior modes were used to differing degrees.  The avoidance mode was used with the greatest frequency, followed by the compromise mode, with the accommodation mode third, collaboration fourth, and the competing mode being used the least.  The chi-square statistic was used in determining if a relationship existed between the behavior mode selection and the age, sex, extent of basic and higher education, length of Nursing; experience, and experience in conflict management class.  Analysis of each of the areas revealed a probability value greater than .25 (p?.25) leading to the conclusion that there was not a significant relationship between the behavior mode selected and the characteristics of the group being examined.

description: The purpose of this research was to compare Pregnancy Illness-Proneness and Stress (PIPAS) data from an original study done by Sullivan with PIPAS data gathered through a Childbearing Year (CBY) instructional program.  Pregnancy symptoms by trimester were tabulated giving percentages of symptoms in six areas for each trimester.  The CBY PIPAS data was also correlated with CBY maternal/fetal outcome data to determine if illness-proneness, stress, or Cornell Psychiatric Items (CPI) have significant effect on maternal/fetal outcome of pregnancy.  Significance was found between complications of labor and delivery, postpartum or baby problems, and the general adaptational stress of pregnancy in the first and third trimesters.  Hours of first stage of labor were significantly correlated with symptom-proneness, two areas of pregnancy symptoms in the second trimester, and neuromuscular symptoms in the third trimester.

description: Response adaptive randomization (RAR) is appealing from methodological, ethical, and pragmatic perspectives in the sense that subjects are more likely to be randomized to better performing treatment groups based on accumulating data. However, applications of RAR in confirmatory drug clinical trials with multiple active arms are limited largely due to its complexity, and lack of control of randomization ratios to different treatment groups. To address the aforementioned issues, we propose a Response Adaptive Block Randomization (RABR) design allowing arbitrarily pre-specified randomization ratios for the control and high-performing groups to meet clinical trial objectives. We show the validity of the conventional unweighted test in RABR with a controlled type I error rate based on the weighted combination test for sample size adaptive design invoking no large sample approximation. The advantages of the proposed RABR in terms of robustly reaching target final sample size to meet regulatory requirements and increasing statistical power as compared with the popular Doubly Adaptive Biased Coin Design (DBCD) are demonstrated by statistical simulations and a practical clinical trial design example.

description: A two-staged fluidized-bed reactor for the energy-efficient, thermal recovery of bitumen from Utah tar sands has been constructed. This reactor is a scaled-up version of an earlier system investigated at the University of Utah, and involves the use of three liquid-potassium heat pipes which thermally couple an upper pyrolysis bed with a lower combustion bed. The reactor has been studied to determine the effect of multiple heat pipes, increased feed rate, and longer duration run times.  The process consists essentially of three steps. In the first step, mined and suitably sized tar sand, being fed into the reactor at a constant rate, is pyrolyzed at temperatures of 440C to above 500°C in an inert atmosphere to volatilize and partially crack most of the contained bitumen. The vaporized products of the pyrolysis section are condensed and coalesced to give a synthetic crude oil. In the second step, coked sand, formed as a by-product in the pyrolysis reactor, is combusted with air at tempe

Patient Education

description: This study examined mothers' utilization of educational handouts and learning retention. It compared demographic data and utilization of handouts. Opinions of how helpful information about development issues and if the study handout was useful were gathered. Mothers' sources for answers regarding development questions were collected. Data were collected at the well-child visit and 5 to 8 days later via telephone. Data were analyzed using frequencies and analysis of variance. The findings indicate half of mothers read the educational material and one fourth implemented the suggestions in the article. There was minimal difference in demographic variables between readers and nonreaders. Data indicated mothers rely on personal experience when making decisions regarding developmental issues. Health care providers need to be aware of the limitations of using educational handouts and of the minimal role that demographics play in handout utilization. Providers must use a variety of educational techniques when teaching mothers about developmental issues.

description: A criação de datasets pressupõe a utilização de identificadores que de forma unívoca identifiquem as entidades envolvidas: pessoas, instituições, locais, eventos, etc.

Os sistemas de gestão de dados utilizam identificadores próprios a nível local para o seu funcionamento. Esses identificadores são muitas vezes irrelevantes para utilizadores humanos e para outros sistemas, uma vez que apenas garantem a lógica interna do sistema em que operam.

A partilha de dados deve seguir os princípios FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable). Mesmo em datasets que sigam estes princípios, os dados podem requerer um nível de interpretação que está sujeito a erros ou atribuição incorreta, por exemplo, confundir duas pessoas com o mesmo nome. A utilização de um sistema de identificadores universais que possam ser partilhados nos datasets permite um maior nível de FAIRness, uma vez que garante uma interoperabilidade mais eficiente entre sistemas.

A Wikidata é um sistema de dados estruturados que permite a interligação de entidades entre si (Linked Open Data). É uma base de conhecimento gratuita e aberta que pode ser lida e editada por humanos e por máquinas.

A utilização de Wikidata Q Identifiers (QID) em sistemas de gestão de colecções de História natural está a tonar-se uma prática comum, que visa permitir uma melhor integração de dados em agregadores (GBIF), mas também a criação de novas plataformas que possibilitam a interpretação e descoberta de novo conhecimento. São exemplo disso a plataforma Bionomia, e mais recentemente o WikiProject sobre expedições de investigação científica.

Esta prática pode ser aplicada em outro tipo de sistemas ou datasets com vista à sua partilha de forma totalmente interoperável.

description: The total body blood volume can be calculated by the product of mean systemic transit time (t) and cardiac output.  This study has developed the mathematical procedures that, based on feedback analysis of linear time invariant systems for extracting mean systemic transit time from [18]O[2] and inert gas profiles, determined the accuracy of the mean systemic transit time calculating algorithms under simulated conditions which model pulmonary states from normal to severely abnormal.  These states are used to test the hypothesis that the mean [18]O[2] systemic transit time can be determined to within 15% with model simulating patients have lungs with ventilation-perfusion ratio distributions in nonuniformity from normal to severely nonuniform [as in patients with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)].  Literature ventilation-perfusion ration distribution data for normal, restrictive lung disease (RLD), and COPD subjects (from Wagner) have been used in the simulation study.  The reliability of this measurement has been tested when different types of random noise have been added into the measured signals.

Neural retina in photoreceptor degenerations
Creators: name: Jones, Bryan William
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2012
Subjects: Synaptic Excitation
Phenotyping

description: The mammalian retina is comprised of 55-60 cell types mediating transduction of photic information through visual preprocessing channels. These cell types fall into six major cell superclasses including photoreceptors, horizontal, amacrine, Muller and ganglion cells. Through computational molecular phenotyping, using amino acids as discriminands, this dissertation shows that the major cellular superclasses of the murine retina are subdivisible into the following natural classes;  1 retinal pigment epithelium class, 2 photoreceptor, 2 bipolar cell, 1 horizontal cell, 15 amacrine cell, 1 Muller cell, and 7 ganglion cell classes.  Retinal degenerative diseases like retinitis pigmentosa result in loss of photoreceptors, which constitutes deafferentation of the neural retina. This deafferentation, when complete, is followed by retinal remodeling, which is the common fate of all retinal degenerations that trigger photoreceptor loss. The same strategy used to visualize cell classes in wild type murine retina was applied to examples of retinal degenerative disease in human tissues and naturally and genetically engineered models, examining all cell types in 17 human cases of retinitis pigmentosa (RP) and 85 cases of rodent retinal degenerations encompassing 13 different genetic models. Computational molecular phenotyping concurrently visualized glial transformations, neuronal translocations, and the emergence of novel synaptic complexes, achievements not possible with any other method. The fusion of phenotyping and anatomy at the ultrastructure level also enabled the modeling of synaptic connections, illustrating that the degenerating retina produces new synapses with vigor with the possibility that this phenomenon might be exploited to rescue vision. However, this circuitry is likely corruptive of visual processing and reflects, we believe, attempts by neurons to find synaptic excitation, demonstrating that even minor rewiring seriously corrupts signal processing in retinal pathways leaving many current approaches to bionic and biological retinal rescue unsustainable.  The ultimate conclusion is that the sequelae of retinal degenerative disease are far more complex than previously believed, and schemes to rescue vision via bionic implants or stem/engineered cells are based on presumed beliefs in preservation of normal wiring and cell population patterning after photoreceptor death. Those beliefs are incorrect: retinal neurons die, migrate, and create new circuitries.  Vision rescue strategies will need to be refined.

description: The Mediterranean region is home to about 25 000 plant species, of which 13 000 are endemic (not found anywhere else on Earth) and has been recognised as a biodiversity hotspot that is suffering an exceptional loss of habitat. Mediterranean agriculture, forests and other environments are seriously threatened by numerous quarantine and emerging pests, and their negative impacts is expected to increase due to global trade and climate change. In the face of these challenges, the Mediterranean region is particularly vulnerable due to the weakness of national quarantine systems, limited expertise and phytosanitary infrastructures, and not least the lack of funds for research activities in support of statutory plant health. The Compendium on the ‘Plant Health research priorities for the Mediterranean region’ is the result of the collaboration of experts from leading organizations and initiatives in the region: the International Centre for Advanced Mediterranean Agronomic Studies, the Euphresco network for phytosanitary research coordination and funding, the Arab Society for Plant Protection, the European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organization, the Food and Agriculture Organization, the Mediterranean Phytopathological Union and the Near East Plant Protection Organization. The compendium summarizes the result of a survey on plant health research priorities organised among experts from National Plant Protection Organizations and research organizations in the Balkan-Mediterranean, Eastern Mediterranean, Maghreb, and Western Mediterranean. The most threatening pests, the research priorities, the important research infrastructures and the needs in terms of capacity are presented.

description: In recent years, quantum-enhanced machine learning has emerged as a particularly fruitful application of quantum algorithms, covering aspects of supervised, unsupervised and reinforcement learning. Reinforcement learning offers numerous options of how quantum theory can be applied, and is arguably the least explored, from a quantum perspective. Here, an agent explores an environment and tries to find a behavior optimizing some figure of merit. Some of the first approaches investigated settings where this exploration can be sped-up, by considering quantum analogs of classical environments, which can then be queried in superposition. If the environments have a strict periodic structure in time (i.e. are strictly episodic), such environments can be effectively converted to conventional oracles encountered in quantum information. However, in general environments, we obtain scenarios that generalize standard oracle tasks. In this work we consider one such generalization, where the environment is not strictly episodic, which is mapped to an oracle identification setting with a changing oracle. We analyze this case and show that standard amplitude-amplification techniques can, with minor modifications, still be applied to achieve quadratic speed-ups, and that this approach is optimal for certain settings. This results constitutes one of the first generalizations of quantum-accessible reinforcement learning.

description: We use infinite dimensional self-dual $\mathrm{CAR}$ $C^{*}$-algebras to study a $\mathbb{Z}_{2}$-index, which classifies free-fermion systems embedded on $\mathbb{Z}^{d}$ disordered lattices. Combes-Thomas estimates are pivotal to show that the $\mathbb{Z}_{2}$-index is uniform with respect to the size of the system. We additionally deal with the set of ground states to completely describe the mathematical structure of the underlying system. Furthermore, the weak$^{*}$-topology of the set of linear functionals is used to analyze paths connecting different sets of ground states.

description: Swarm Intelligence-based optimization techniques combine systematic exploration of the search space with information available from neighbors and rely strongly on communication among agents. These algorithms are typically employed to solve problems where the function landscape is not adequately known and there are multiple local optima that could result in premature convergence for other algorithms. Applications of such algorithms can be found in communication systems involving design of networks for efficient information dissemination to a target group, targeted drug-delivery where drug molecules search for the affected site before diffusing, and high-value target localization with a network of drones. In several of such applications, the agents face a hostile environment that can result in loss of agents during the search. Such a loss changes the communication topology of the agents and hence the information available to agents, ultimately influencing the performance of the algorithm. In this paper, we present a study of the impact of loss of agents on the performance of such algorithms as a function of the initial network configuration. We use particle swarm optimization to optimize an objective function with multiple sub-optimal regions in a hostile environment and study its performance for a range of network topologies with loss of agents. The results reveal interesting trade-offs between efficiency, robustness, and performance for different topologies that are subsequently leveraged to discover general properties of networks that maximize performance. Moreover, networks with small-world properties are seen to maximize performance under hostile conditions.

description: In current clinical trial development, historical information is receiving more attention as it provides utility beyond sample size calculation. Meta-analytic-predictive (MAP) priors and robust MAP priors have been proposed for prospectively borrowing historical data on a single endpoint. To simultaneously synthesize control information from multiple endpoints in confirmatory clinical trials, we propose to approximate posterior probabilities from a Bayesian hierarchical model and estimate critical values by deep learning to construct pre-specified strategies for hypothesis testing. This feature is important to ensure study integrity by establishing prospective decision functions before the trial conduct. Simulations are performed to show that our method properly controls family-wise error rate (FWER) and preserves power as compared with a typical practice of choosing constant critical values given a subset of null space. Satisfactory performance under prior-data conflict is also demonstrated. We further illustrate our method using a case study in Immunology.

description: This is a study of the relationships between illness proneness, life change stress, and toxemia of pregnancy.  Illness proneness, common pregnancy symptoms and life change stress data were obtained from the Utah-IIIC test battery developed and administered by the Pregnancy, Illness Proneness, and Stress (PIPAS) project of the University of Utah, College of Nursing.  Women enrolled in prenatal classes at McKay-Dee Hospital, Ogden, Utah, were given the Utah-IIIC test battery in the second to eight month of pregnancy.  The Illness Proneness (IP), Trimester Symptom, and Modified Schedule of Recent Experience (SRE) portions of the battery were used to measure general susceptibly to illness; pregnancy symptoms experienced per trimester; and life change stresses experienced during the previous 12 months, respectively.  Following delivery, medical record data were used to classify the women as toxemic or normal controls.  The sample consisted of 29 toxemic women and 137 normal controls.  No clinically significant differences were found between toxemic and normal group mean test scores and no relationships were found between the test scores and the incidence of toxemia, with one exception.  The Illness Proneness-SRE combined score for the entire 12-month period was related to the incidence of toxemia, p=.0124.  A higher percentage of toxemic women had high IP-SRE scores (7.2% vs. 1.5%) but the majority of both groups (79% and 69%) had low IP-SRE scores.  Discriminant analyses, using the Utah-IIIC test scores, were unable to produce functions able to differentiate between the groups, with any clinically useful degree of specificity or sensitivity.

description: Up-to-date poverty maps are an important tool for policy makers, but until now, have been prohibitively expensive to produce. We propose a generalizable prediction methodology to produce poverty maps at the village level using geospatial data and machine learning algorithms. We tested the proposed method for 25 Sub-Saharan African countries and validated them against survey data. The proposed method can increase the validity of both single country and cross-country estimations leading to higher precision in poverty maps of 44 Sub-Saharan African countries than previously available. More importantly, our cross-country estimation enables the creation of poverty maps when it is not practical or cost-effective to field new national household surveys, as is the case with many low- and middle-income countries.

description: We consider residual-based a posteriori error estimators for Galerkin-type discretizations of time-harmonic Maxwell's equations. We focus on configurations where the frequency is high, or close to a resonance frequency, and derive reliability and efficiency estimates. In contrast to previous related works, our estimates are frequency-explicit. In particular, our key contribution is to show that even if the constants appearing in the reliability and efficiency estimates may blow up on coarse meshes, they become independent of the frequency for sufficiently refined meshes. Such results were previously known for the Helmholtz equation describing scalar wave propagation problems and we show that they naturally extend, at the price of many technicalities in the proofs, to Maxwell's equations. Our mathematical analysis is performed in the 3D case, and covers conforming Nédélec discretizations of the first and second family, as well as first-order (and hybridizable) discontinuous Galerkin schemes. We also present numerical experiments in the 2D case, where Maxwell's equations are discretized with Nédélec elements of the first family. These illustrating examples perfectly fit our key theoretical findings, and suggest that our estimates are sharp.
