description: As per the World Health Organization, cancer continues to be one of the leading causes of death worldwide, accounting for nearly one in six deaths, which sets its associated health, economic and societal burdens to worrisome levels. However, many cancer cases have a high chance of being cured if treated timely. For these reasons, reducing the cancer burden has always been a central question for researchers from different backgrounds. Fostered by the huge development of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), the democratization of the Internet of Things (IoT), and the evolution of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and optimization techniques, research on Cancer Care Operations Management (CCOM) has taken a lot of interest and attention in the recent years as it opened the door for new opportunities to optimize cancer patient pathways leading to a significant cancer burdens’ reduction. Well anchored in this setting, the present research looks at where the research in CCOM has gone in the past decades and leverages data analytics, simulation, and optimization techniques to design effective strategies for the management of outpatient chemotherapy; one of the cancer main treatment options, and one of the main challenging links in the cancer patient pathway. These objectives are achieved in two phases. In the first phase, a bibliometric analysis is used to map the aspects of 1288 published articles in the field of CCOM in the past decade. Then, specific emphasis is given to the research focusing on the optimization of outpatient chemotherapy. In the second phase, we collaborated with a large cancer care center to undertake data-driven research aimed at finding innovative solutions for outpatient chemotherapy management. Our efforts culminated in the creation of a novel approach that incorporates unsupervised machine learning and stochastic simulation optimization models for planning and scheduling of outpatient chemotherapy appointments. The experimental studies showed improvement in patient waiting time, staff overtime, and computational time, with reductions of 37%, 17%, and 48% respectively.

description: The free-living nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is an important laboratory model organism that has been fundamental to the understanding of metazoan biology. However, until recently, C. elegans has largely been studied in isolation, with its evolutionary history poorly understood. Recent progress in our understanding of natural ecology of C. elegans has led to the discovery of many new species from the genus Caenorhabditis, most of which are in laboratory culture. In 2014, an international collaboration was launched which aimed to sequence the genomes of all species currently in culture. In this thesis, I present draft genomes for 38 Caenorhabditis species generated using both short- and long-read technology. I also present the genome of C. bovis, a species which appears to live parasitically in the ears of cattle in Eastern Africa. I exploited these and other genome sequences to perform the most comprehensive reconstruction of the Caenorhabditis phylogeny to date. Analysing genome size and content within the context of this phylogeny, I reveal extensive variation in genome size that is driven by changes in gene number and repetitive content. The work presented in this thesis represents a substantial contribution to the understanding of genome evolution in Caenorhabditis. Moreover, these data will become fundamental in our attempts to understand the evolutionary origins of this important model organism.

description: Anti-tubercular drugs (ATDs) mediated adverse drug reactions are major concerns for clinicians to treat tuberculosis infection. This study aimed to investigate Andrographis paniculata extract-based phytotherapy to combat the nephrotoxic effects caused by ATDs therapy. Reno-protective effect of A. paniculata extract in ATDs-induced rats was evaluated through LPO, GSH, CAT, SOD, GST, urea, creatinine, uric acid, and histopathological studies. Standardization of the extract was performed using RP-HPLC and FTIR analysis. Whereas, the effect of A. paniculata extract on ATDs induced genetic perturbation was analyzed using micronucleus assay. Moreover, the expression level of the xenometabolic gene was investigated using RT-PCR to explore the therapeutic mechanism. The nephrotoxic effect of ATDs was indicated by elevated levels of LPO and renal function markers along with the reduced activity of renal antioxidants. An up-regulated expression profile of NAT gene and histological alterations were observed in renal tissue however, micronucleated PCEs were observed in bone marrow cells. Concomitant treatment with A. paniculata extract revealed a noticeable amelioration of elevated oxidative stress markers, gene expression levels, genotoxic perturbation, and histological alterations in a dose-dependent manner. Hence, the present study using A. paniculata leaf extract confirmed to play effective phytotherapy against ATDs induced renal toxicity.

description: The genus Dysschema belongs to Pericopina (Erebidae: Arctiinae: Arctiini). It is outstanding because of the extreme sexual dimorphism and polymorphism found among many of its species, with males and females mimicking different groups within Lepidoptera. This has led to a confused taxonomic scenario because males and females were routinely described as different species, and an inflated number of species was established. Dysschema maginata and D. terminata are sexually dimorphic, the females of both species have the same wing pattern and represent a rare case of sex-limited mimicry. Both species were described based on the females, and the association with males was proposed long after the original descriptions without any further evidences. Despite these similarities, the former species represents a simple dual case of polymorphism, while the latter species represents an uncommon case of multiple-dual polymorphism with at least four phenotypes for the male. In this study, we tested and corroborated hypothesized associations between sexes of D. marginata and D. terminata using DNA barcodes. The morphological studies also corroborated four phenotypes of males in D. terminata, with a new synonym: Dysschema Hering, 1928 and the the first record of a female-like male morph in a population of a sexually dimorphic species in Arctiinae. Moreover, we redescribed the two species, with comments on morphology and discussion on the polymorphism. A lectotype is designated for Pericopis holofernes Butler, 1871, synonym of D. terminata, to ensure the stability of the name.

description: Fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF-23) level has been linked the adverse outcomes in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). The purpose of this meta-analysis was to assess the predictive value of blood FGF-23 levels in CAD patients. Two authors comprehensively searched PubMed and Embase until 20 August 2021 to identify studies investigating the association of FGF-23 level with adverse outcomes in CAD patients. Outcomes of interest were major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs), cardiovascular or all-cause mortality. Eight studies with 16,702 patients with CAD were identified. Pooled results showed that elevated FGF-23 level was associated with a higher risk of MACEs (risk ratio [RR] 1.56; 95% confidence intervals [CI] 1.32–1.84), cardiovascular mortality (RR 1.99; 95% CI 1.38–2.86), and all-cause mortality (RR 1.95; 95% CI 1.67–2.27) after adjusted confounding factors. In addition, per doubling increase in the FGD-23 level was associated with a 24% higher risk of MACEs. Each standard deviation increase in the FGD-23 level conferred a 36% higher risk of cardiovascular mortality. Elevated blood FGF-23 level is associated with a higher risk of MACEs, cardiovascular or all-cause mortality in patients with CAD, even after adjustment for renal function. Blood FGF-23 level may provide important predictive information in CAD patients.

The movement aspires to encourage research in neglected areas of positive human experience. Also, the beginning of the positive clinical psychology faction has been announced. It aims to extend the scope of positive psychology research and practice onto individuals with psychological difficulties. Understanding and facilitating happiness is the core objective of positive psychology.In the present research, a correlational study examined the suppositions of the four-dimension model of happiness and psychological distress amongst people experiencing psychosis. The study?s objective was to check how emotional distress resulting from psychosis affects the individuals? satisfaction with life. Forty-seven individuals with diagnoses of paranoid schizophrenia completed self report measures of psychoticism, paranoid ideation, depression and anxiety (Brief Symptom Inventory), positive affect (Bradburn?s Affect Balance Scale), and life satisfaction (Satisfaction With Life Scale). Correlational patterns of the four-dimension model of subjective wellbeing and psychological distress were replicated with people with experiences of psychosis. However, although the levels of depression and anxiety were clearly elevated in comparison with general population norms, the levels of positive affect remained similar to those in general public, and the average life satisfaction appeared only slightly decreased.Extended statistical analysis was conducted and the series of mediation analyses were carried out to examine whether the levels of depression, anxiety, and positive affect mediated the relationship between psychosis related distress and the individuals? satisfaction with life. The data were consistent with the dominant, indirect-only mediating role of depression. Possible explanations for the findings are proposed, and clinical and ethical implications from the applied positive psychology perspective are suggested. Study limitations are discussed and recommendations for future research are made.

description: With the aim of protecting Mexican diversity, one current governmental task is to complete national biological inventories. In the case of odonate insects, several researchers have hypothesized that species richness is complete (205 dragonflies and 151 damselflies), but there has not been any formal exercise to test this. Thus, we have investigated whether odonate species richness (for Mexican endemics, dragonflies (suborder Anisoptera), damselflies (suborder Zygoptera) and total species) is complete using sample-based and coverage-based rarefaction curves. Along with this, we also showed how good distribution data are in the country. The rarefaction curves have indicated 100% completeness for all groups suggesting that the inventory is complete. However, species' distribution data is highly patchy regarding areas either well (e.g. central Mexico) or badly (e.g. coast of Guerrero and Oaxaca) collected. We encourage researchers to continue odonate sampling in order to support at least three conservation actions: (i) conservation assessment of endangered species; (ii) knowledge of range shifts given rising global temperatures; and (iii) increase public interest and awareness in protected, touristic areas.

description: Objectives: Gastro-oesophageal reflux and dyspepsia are felt to be separate upper gastrointestinal (GI) conditions. We aimed to measure the degree of overlap between them, and assess whether endoscopic findings differed. Material and methods: Demographic, symptom, upper GI endoscopy and histology data were collected from consecutive adults in secondary care. Patients were categorised according to whether they reported gastro-oesophageal reflux alone, dyspepsia alone or both, and patient demographics and endoscopic findings were compared. Results: Of 1167 patients, 97 (8.3%) had gastro-oesophageal reflux alone, 571 (48.9%) dyspepsia alone, and 499 (42.8%) overlap. Patients with overlap symptoms were more likely to smoke, compared with those with gastro-oesophageal reflux alone, or dyspepsia alone (p = .009), but there were no other differences. Patients with gastro-oesophageal reflux alone or overlap had a higher prevalence of erosive oesophagitis (18.6% and 15.4% respectively, p Conclusions: Gastro-oesophageal reflux and dyspepsia symptoms commonly overlap. There were minimal differences in demographics or spectrum of underlying organic disease between various symptom groups, suggesting that restrictive classifications according to predominant symptom may not be clinically useful.
Identity formation and conflict in older Irish gay men

description: Gay Irish men over 55 grew up in the 1950s and 1960s when homosexuality in Ireland was illegal, the Catholic Church was an unquestioned dominance within society and the heterosexual family was seen as the basic unit of the Catholic state.The power of the Catholic Church, homophobia and repressive laws combined to create an atmosphere that made many people unable or unsafe to admit their sexuality. Gay men constructed their identity under a cloak of secrecy and negotiated any identity threat and conflict between their multiple identities alone. Evidence suggests that gay and lesbian individuals with religious identities face greater social and psychosocial challenges due to their identity configuration. Furthermore, the challenges faced within identity construction, and the obstacles of threat and conflict, have shown to affect an individual’s mental health.Using the interpretive lens of Identity Process Theory (IPT) the present study used a qualitative design to explore how older gay Irish men (over the age of 55) understand and construct their sexual identity and investigate the strategies they used. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with seven older gay men to explore their experiences, perceptions and understanding of being an older gay person in Ireland and the UK.Thematic analysis identified three themes i) experiences of sexual awareness and identity conflict; ii) the dilemma of ‘staying in ‘ vs. ‘coming out’; iii) dealing with identity conflict. The results suggested that many men faced challenges and barriers to constructing a stable identity. Religious and cultural experiences played a central role in Irish men’s identity acquisition and how they made sense of it. The results show ways in which identity conflicts were created and how the men developed strategies to minimise these conflicts. The study has implications for professionals working therapeutically with sexual minority clients.Recommendations are provided for improved understanding of sexuality issues concerning minority clients within therapeutic work. Health practitioners need to be willing to engage in discussion about the effect that religious and cultural influences have on a client’s well-being, as this will help support patients, reduce psychological distress and improve therapy outcomes.

title: A Qualitative Analysis of Athenian Psychoanalytic Therapists’ Approach to Working with Adults’ Child Sexual Abuse Memory
Creators: name: Piki, Eirini
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London
Year: 2019

description: The historical background regarding proposed psychotherapeutic treatment of adults’ child sexual abuse memory is bristling with obscurities. More recent relevant history involved the recovered-false memory debate, which also addressed but failed to answer certain questions regarding the handling of child sexual abuse memories. The present thesis attempts to explore literature gaps and controversial situations met by professionals working with adults who experience child sexual abuse memories. For this purpose 31 Athenian psychoanalytic therapists were interviewed, and the emerging data were analysed qualitatively using Content Analysis. Most of the key findings, regarding child sexual abuse memories in psychoanalysis, contradicted past research findings, emphasised difficulties and revealed that psychoanalytic therapy can be effective. The present study produced new ideas about unexplored areas in the psychoanalytic work with CSAM (e.g. the conditions under which the fantasy-realily distinction is the therapists’ responsibility) and provided guidelines for various issues (such as how to facilitate the distinction between fantasy and reality in cases involving CSAM). Implications for clinical work with adults who suffer from child sexual abuse memories are examined and suggestions for future research are given.

Subjects: C840 - Psychology in health & medicine

description: Introduction: There are mixed findings about whether termination of pregnancy (ToP) is a significant life event that may trigger a negative psychological reaction in vulnerable women, or whether ToP is a minor life event (or not considered a life event) with minimal or temporary detrimental effects. The quality of studies exploring these issues varies substantially in terms of sample size, sample selection and validity of measures. Existing studies do not consider the role of discourse in the construction of ToP. This is significant because discourse has the potential to influence meaning, practices, and reported psychological distress.Objectives: This study employed a qualitative methodology to explore how discourse operates through power to produce a particular 'truth' of ToP and the effects of this.Design: A Foucauldian Discourse Analysis approach was taken using Berg's (2009) model to analyse the data obtained from the interviews.Method: Initially, a document analysis was performed where literature about ToP, produced by health organisations in the UK, was collected in order to contextualise health/legislative discourse. Next, discourse was collected from interviews conducted with six South Asian women recruited from community centres in Nottinghamshire and South Yorkshire.Results: Religious and cultural discourses were perceived to have validity and worth and produced effects- discursively and through practice which influenced how women understood, experienced, and responded to ToP. The discourses identified linked together using 'common-sense' ideas to produce a discourse of ToP.Discussion: The findings illustrate that taken for granted sets of ideas about who and what exists in the world help to impose bounds beyond which it is often very hard to reason and behave. When particular discourse becomes understood as common sense and 'true', these set limits to the cultural know-how of a particular social group. The clinical implications and the limitations of this study are considered and suggestions for future research are made.

description: In natural languages, two negating elements that cancel each other out (as in not impossible) are logically equivalent to the non-negated word form (in this case, possible). It has been proposed that the function of sentential double negation is to create coherence between sentences containing opposing information. Thus, not impossible is functionally different from possible. The present ERP study tested this hypothesis in Dutch. Native speakers read sentences in which evoked negative expectations are cancelled by a second sentence including either a double negation or the corresponding non-negated word form. Results showed that non-negated word forms, such as possible, elicited a larger N400 effect than double negations, such as not impossible. We suggest that canceling out a negative expectation by a double negation compared to the non-negated word form, makes it easier for the reader to integrate the two sentences semantically and connect them to the present discourse.

description: Introduction: There are a number of theories proposed in order to attempt to understand the behaviour of sexual offenders. A common theme that they all cover is that of the impact of thoughts and beliefs on behaviour. However, existing measures of cognitions are explicit in their nature and therefore easy to respond to in a socially acceptable way. There has recently been a move towards using implicit measures in order to increase “honest” responding to overcome this. Such measures have been utilised with sex offenders, in order to empirically investigate the process of offending as proposed by a number of theories. There is as yet no universally accepted explanation of the beliefs that sexual offenders hold about children, whether they are pre-existing and inform offending, or develop after offending in the context of justifying behaviour. The present study aimed to investigate the role of the post-offending context in the presence of ‘implicit beliefs’ using the Implicit Relational Assessment Procedure with staff who work with offender relating to children and sex.Method: The Implicit Relational Assessment Procedure (IRAP, Barnes-Holmes, Barnes-Holmes, Power, Hayden, Milne & Stewart, 2006) was administered to 20 staff who work with sex offenders from the UK Probation Service, asking them to respond to Child-Sexual stimuli. The same measure was also administered to a non-offender control group (n=20) with no experience of working with sex offenders for the purposes of comparison. An explicit measure (Cognitive Distortion Scale, Gannon, 2006) was also completed by both groups.Results: The control group were unable to discriminate between children as being sexual or non sexual on the IRAP, whereas the staff group responses indicated that they view children as the opposite of sexual. The CDS results converged with the IRAP, with the control group scoring significantly higher on this measure than the staff group.Discussion: The results indicate that there is an impact of context on beliefs about children, and also that the presence or non-rejection of child-sexual relations is not necessarily indicative of a sexual offender. The results may also suggest some methodological issues with the IRAP, which are discussed.

description: In work on grammatical agreement in sentence production, there are accounts of verb number formulation that emphasise the role of whole-structure properties and accounts that emphasise the role of word-driven properties. To evaluate these alternatives, we carried out two experiments that examined a referential (wholistic) contributor to agreement along with two lexical-semantic (local) factors. Both experiments gauged the accuracy and latency of inflected-verb production in order to assess how variations in grammatical number interacted with the other factors. The accuracy of verb production was modulated both by the referential effect of notional number and by the lexical-semantic effects of relatedness and category membership. As an index of agreement difficulty, latencies were little affected by either factor. The findings suggest that agreement is sensitive to referential as well as lexical forces and highlight the importance of lexical-structural integration in the process of sentence production.

description: Old-growth tropical forests are increasingly vanishing worldwide. Although the accurate quantification of tropical old-growth forests attributes is essential to understand, manage, and conserve their high diversity and biomass, conducting this task over large areas and at fine detail is not only expensive and time consuming, but also often practically impossible. This calls for the search for more efficient alternatives, particularly those based on remote sensing. In this study, we evaluate the potential of several surface metrics (tone and texture) extracted from very high resolution (VHR) satellite imagery to model the structural and diversity attributes of a tropical dry forest (TDF) in southern Mexico. We constructed simple linear models that used each forest attribute as dependent variables, and the tone and texture metrics extracted from several bands, the panchromatic (resolution = 0.5 m), red (R), infrared, and two vegetation indices (normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), enhanced vegetation index (EVI); resolution = 2 m), of a VHR image (GeoEye-1) as predictive variables. The significance of the models including one, two, two and its interaction, and three image metrics was evaluated by comparing them with null models. The structural characteristics of the TDF (basal area (BA), mean height, stem density) showed the highest modelling potential, with the goodness-of-fit (R2) values ranging from 0.58 to 0.66. Conversely, no significant models were obtained for total crown area (TCA) and all diversity attributes. Our results show that remote-sensing metrics detect the spatial variation in the structural attributes of this old-growth TDF better than they detect the variation in its diversity. Our ability to model forest attributes at large scales at fine detail (sampling plots <0.2 ha) can be much improved by combining the use of VHR imagery with an array as wide as possible of the image surface metrics, including both tone and texture.

description: In this study, a one-pot synthesis of metallopyrazinoporphyrazines starting from simple and readily available precursors including 2,3-diaminomaleonitrile, 1,2-dicarbonyl compounds, metal salts such as CuCl2, CoCl2, FeCl2, and ZnCl2 and urea in the presence of nano-Fe3O4 anchored sulfuric acid as an efficient superparamagnetic heterogeneous nanocatalyst was described. The particle size of the nanocatalyst was studied by scanning electron microscopy images and chemical information about its surface functionalization was confirmed by energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy spectra. This new multicomponent protocol includes some important aspects such as easy work-up procedure, high atom economy, and simple and green reaction conditions for the synthesis of a new class of porphyrazine derivatives carrying six-membered pyrazine rings annulated at the periphery of the tetrapyrrolic macrocycle.
