posthuman institutional ethnography

description: The value of nursing and nurse work in the UK is unclear. Changes in nursing within contemporary social, economic and political systems have renegotiated the power structures that produce the meaning and value of nurse work. An increasing amount of research addresses nursing and nursing practice, however there is a scarcity of research about fundamental care and nurse work in contemporary frameworks of nursing. This PhD project explores how the value and meaning of nurse work is created within contemporary institutions. This project was a posthuman institutional ethnography (PIE) conducted at a large acute NHS hospital in Scotland. The mixed method design involved workforce demographic data, documentary analysis of the NMC Code of Conduct, participatory ethnography at an acute ward as well as three-week long multimedia diaries and semi-structured interviews from 10 practicing nurses. This heterogeneous data was examined using multiple analytical tools grounded in critical feminist and posthuman theoretical approaches. The project mapped each of the tools used onto the supporting principles of PIE and situated the findings from this perspective. This thesis contributes to nursing research theoretically and methodologically. First, it suggests understanding fundamental care as an ecology created by people, place and structure. Second, it positions nursing in the theoretical framework of critical posthumanities as a (new)materialist practice. Third, it suggests that the obscure valuation of nurse work makes it difficult for institutions to value nurse work. Fourth, it develops the Posthuman Institutional Ethnography research method, developed in educational studies by (Taylor & Fairchild, 2020) as a research method in healthcare for the first time.

description: This work is concerned with the quasineutral limit of the one-dimensional Vlasov-Poisson equation, for initial data close to stationary homogeneous profiles. Our objective is threefold: first, we provide a proof of the fact that the formal limit does not hold for homogeneous profiles that satisfy the Penrose instability criterion. Second, we prove on the other hand that the limit is true for homogeneous profiles that satisfy some monotonicity condition, together with a symmetry condition. We handle the case of well-prepared as well as ill- prepared data. Last, we study a stationary boundary-value problem for the formal limit, the so-called quasineutral Vlasov equation. We show the existence of numerous stationary states, with a lot of freedom in the construction (compared to that of BGK waves for Vlasov-Poisson): this illustrates the degeneracy of the limit equation.

description: Higgs coupling deviations from Standard Model predictions contain information about two scales of Nature: that of new physics responsible for the deviation, and the scale where new bosons must appear. The two can coincide, but they do not have to. The scale of new bosons can be calculated by going beyond an effective field theory description of the coupling deviation. We compute model-independent upper bounds on the scale of new bosons for deviations in Higgs to $WW$ and $ZZ$ couplings, finding that any measured deviation at present or future colliders requires the existence of new bosons within experimental reach. This has potentially interesting implications for naturalness.

description: In this project, we have investigated the use of advanced machine learning methods, specifically fine-tuned large language models, for pre-annotating data for a lexical extension task, namely adding descriptive words (verbs) to an existing (but incomplete, as of yet) ontology of event types. Several research questions have been focused on, from the investigation of a possible heuristics to provide at least hints to annotators which verbs to include and which are outside the current version of the ontology, to the possible use of the automatic scores to help the annotators to be more efficient in finding a threshold for identifying verbs that cannot be assigned to any existing class and therefore they are to be used as seeds for a new class. We have also carefully examined the correlation of the automatic scores with the human annotation. While the correlation turned out to be strong, its influence on the annotation proper is modest due to its near linearity, even though the mere fact of such pre-annotation leads to relatively short annotation times.

description: Robust monitoring, providing information on population status, is fundamental for successful conservation planning. However, this can be hard to achieve for species that are elusive and occur at low densities, such as felids. These are often keystones of functioning ecosystems and are threatened by habitat loss and human persecution. When elusive species can be individually identified by visible characteristics, for example via camera-trapping, observations of individuals can be used in combination with capture–recapture methods to calculate demographic parameters such as population density. In this context, spatial capture–recapture (SCR) outperforms conventional non-spatial methods, but the precision of results is inherently related to the sampling design, which should therefore be optimised. We focussed on territorial felids in different habitats and investigated how the sampling designs implemented in the field affected the precision of population density estimates. We examined 137 studies that combined camera-trapping and SCR methods for density estimation. From these, we collected spatiotemporal parameters of their sampling designs, monitoring results, such as the number of individuals captured and the number of recaptures, as well as SCR detection parameters. We applied generalised linear mixed-effects models and tree-based regression methods to investigate the influence of variables on the precision of population density estimates and provide numerical thresholds. Our analysis shows that the number of individuals, recapture frequency, and capture probability play the most crucial roles. Surveys yielding over 20 captured individuals that were recaptured on average at least once obtain the most precise population density estimates. Based on our findings, we provide practical guidelines for future SCR studies that apply to all territorial felids. Furthermore, we present a standardised reporting protocol for study transparency and comparability. Our results will improve reporting and reproducibility of SCR studies and aid in setting up optimised sampling designs.
title: Zebrafish as a model to study genes associated with neurodevelopmental disorders
Creators: name: Gostić, Monika
Publisher: name: University of St Andrews
Year: 2018

description: Dyslexia is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects between 5% and 12% of school-aged children. Individuals with dyslexia have difficulties in learning to read despite normal IQ levels and adequate socio-economical and educational opportunities. Dyslexia has a strong genetic component, but only a few candidate genes have been characterized to date. The KIAA0319 gene is a strong dyslexia candidate found to be associated with dyslexia in independent studies. The KIAA0319 genetic variants associated with dyslexia reside in a regulatory region. Studies in rat suggested that this gene is required for neuronal migration during early cortex formation. The KIAA0319-like (KIAA0319L) is a KIAA0319 homolog in structure and has recently been shown to play a role in dyslexia. I used zebrafish as a model organism both to study the effects of non-coding variants and to characterise kiaa0319 gene function. I used Gateway Tol2 technology to study the role of regulatory sequences. While these experiments led to inconclusive results, they highlighted some of the challenges but also the feasibility of using zebrafish as model organism to study genetic associations. In parallel, I studied the kiaa0319 function with knockout and knockdown experiments. Additionally, I conducted a detailed gene expression analysis with different in situ hybridisation protocols showing kiaa0319 ubiquitous expression in the whole embryo before 12 hours post fertilisation, with later specification to the eyes, brain, otic vesicle and notochord. Additionally, I have tested for the expression of kiaa0319l and showed similar expression pattern to the kiaa0319, but with significantly lower expression of kiaa0319l in zebrafish notochord. My data show, for the first time, that kiaa0319 has stage-specific expression in the brain and notochord during zebrafish early development, suggesting kiaa0319 specific role in the development of these structures. These results are in line with recent mouse studies. With this project I support the idea of kiaa0319 role being extended beyond the brain function and propose a role for kiaa03019 in the visual system and in the notochord.

Increasing Diversity While Maintaining Accuracy: Text Data Generation with Large Language Models and Human Interventions

description: Large language models (LLMs) can be used to generate text data for training and evaluating other models. However, creating high-quality datasets with LLMs can be challenging. In this work, we explore human-AI partnerships to facilitate high diversity and accuracy in LLM-based text data generation. We first examine two approaches to diversify text generation: 1) logit suppression, which minimizes the generation of languages that have already been frequently generated, and 2) temperature sampling, which flattens the token sampling probability. We found that diversification approaches can increase data diversity but often at the cost of data accuracy (i.e., text and labels being appropriate for the target domain). To address this issue, we examined two human interventions, 1) label replacement (LR), correcting misaligned labels, and 2) out-of-scope filtering (OOSF), removing instances that are out of the user's domain of interest or to which no considered label applies. With oracle studies, we found that LR increases the absolute accuracy of models trained with diversified datasets by 14.4%. Moreover, we found that some models trained with data generated with LR interventions outperformed LLM-based few-shot classification. In contrast, OOSF was not effective in increasing model accuracy, implying the need for future work in human-in-the-loop text data generation.

H-alpha fluxes were used to determine the rate of integral star formation of galaxies, SFR. For the observed galaxies the value of log SFR lies in the range from 0 to -8 M_sun/yr. The specific star formation rate for all the sample galaxies does not exceed the limit of log SSFR=-9.2 yr^{-1}. A burst of star formation was detected in the center of a nearby dwarf galaxy UGC 2172.

description: This study compares independent films from different countries (Turkey, Denmark, Iran and Spain) in a transnational context. Making use of schizoanalytic concepts, it presents an analysis of filmic space in relation to character construction in the internationally acclaimed contemporary films: Ten (Abbas Kiarostami, 2002), Talk to Her (Pedro Almodóvar, 2002), Two Girls (Kutluğ Ataman, 2005), Allegro (Christoffer Boe, 2005), The Others (Alejandro Amenábar, 2001), Destiny (Zeki Demirkubuz, 2006), Offside (Jafar Panahi, 2006), Dogville (Lars von Trier, 2003) and Climates (Nuri Bilge Ceylan, 2006). I argue that these films are feminist texts, in which becoming-woman of the female character deterritorializes the patriarchal ideal of home(land) as a political statement. In the above listed films filmic space is never configured as a harmonious unity of a righteous woman and a peaceful home. Despite the pervading homelessness, the female characters turn the male dominated public space into a habitable place through the filmic assemblages with space, objects and other characters. I also argue that the homelessness and the problematic connection between the female character and the storyworld posits a metaphor for the disconnection between the auteur-filmmakers and their home(land)s.

We consider four-derivative scalars and abelian vectors as well as three-derivative fermions, confirming the result of the literature obtained via indirect methods. We generalise the vector case by including the curvature coupling $FF \mathrm{Weyl}$.

title: War surgical experience reduces operation times and saves lives: a comprehensive analysis of all trauma sustained in the Afghanistan conflict 2009-2014 prioritises the surgical procedures to improve training and readiness for future armed conflicts, terror attacks, and civilian damage control surgery
Creators: name: Maitland, Laura Mary Rose

description: Background: Between 2009 and the end of UK combat operations in Helmand, Afghanistan (2014), each consecutive surgical procedure carried out by the multinational, military surgical team at the Medical Treatment Facility, Camp Bastion was collated. Through analysis I aim to develop the template for prioritising surgical procedures to improve surgical training and readiness for future armed conflicts and terror attacks. Methods: All surgical teams operating in Camp Bastion filled out detailed, handwritten theatre logbooks for each surgical case. I transcribed all 10,891 consecutive surgical cases, and 20,266 surgical procedures, into an electronic format. I provide for the first time the distinct, original and stand-alone surgical database for this thesis: the “Maitland Module”, the largest of its kind. Results: I present a new analysis and classification of surgery by anatomical region which accounts for the impact of the multiplicity of wounding caused by explosion on surgical workload. I present the first evidenced-based skill set requirement for war, including the most frequently performed humanitarian surgical procedures and their impact on the skill set required of a surgeon in armed conflict. I show that surgical experience predicted shorter operation times for blast trauma. I found that surgical experience of >50 blast trauma cases predicted lower fatality rates. Skill atrophy in surgical competence between conflicts exists, with an associated rise in preventable loss of life at the start of conflict. Discussion: I propose that the Complex Attack Surgical Team (CAST) of surgeons, with >50 blast trauma case experience, be on standby in the event of a terrorist attack in the UK to support the currently blast-naive civilian surgeons. I hope that the template for surgical procedures may lead to standardisation and prioritisation of the skill set requirement for: trauma surgical training; NATO curriculum development; and intelligent, risk-assessed, deployment of surgeons to conflict zones.

description: The galactic component in clusters is commonly thought to be generally nonrotating and in a dynamical state different from that of a collisionally relaxed system. In practice, a test of such a picture is often not available. We consider the member galaxies of two clusters, Abell S1063 and MACS J1206.2$-$0847, and study the possible presence of mean rotation and some properties of their distribution in phase space. We look for empirical evidence of factors normally found in collisionally relaxed systems and others characteristic of violently-relaxed collisionless systems. Starting from the CLASH-VLT data, we obtain positions, stellar masses, and individual line-of-sight velocities for a large number of galaxies (N_{AS1063}=1200 and N_{M1206}=650) extending out to 1.6 (Abell) and 2.5 (MACS) times the radius r_{200}. We study the spatial distribution of the galaxy velocities and the properties of the available galaxy sets when divided in stellar mass bins. To test the presence of velocity dispersion anisotropy we compare the results based on the Jeans equations with those obtained by assuming a specific form of the galaxy distribution function incorporating the picture of violent relaxation, where the total gravitational potential is imposed as set by the available gravitational lensing observations. We find evidence of systematic rotation in both clusters, with significant rotation in each core (within 0.5' from the center) and no signatures of rotation at large radii. While no signs are found of energy equipartition, there is a clear indication of (stellar) mass segregation. Velocity dispersion anisotropy is present and qualitatively similar to that found in violently relaxed collisionless systems; this last conclusion is strengthened by the overall success in matching the observations with the predictions of the physically justified distribution function.

description: The ordinary-extraordinary-Bernstein (O-X-B) double conversion is considered and simulated with a kinetic particle model vs full wave model for parameters of the TJ-II stellarator. This simulation has been done with the particle-in-cell code, XOOPIC (X11-based object-oriented particle-incell). XOOPIC is able to model the non-monotonic density and magnetic profile of TJ-II. The first step of conversion, O-X conversion, is observed clearly. By applying some optimizations such as increasing the number of computational particles in the region of the X-B conversion, the simulation of the second step is also possible. By considering the electric and magnetic components of launched and reflected waves, the O-mode wave and the X-mode wave can be easily detected. Via considering the power of launched O-mode wave and converted X-mode wave, the efficiency of O-X conversion for the best theoretical launch angle is obtained, which is in good agreement with previous computed efficiencies via full-wave simulations. For the optimum angle of 47? between the wave-vector of the incident O-mode wave and the external magnetic field, the conversion efficiency is 66%.

description: Link prediction has been widely studied as an important research direction. Higher-order link prediction has gained especially significant attention since higher-order networks provide a more accurate description of real-world complex systems. However, higher-order networks contain more complex information than traditional pairwise networks, making the prediction of higher-order links a formidable challenging task. Recently, researchers have discovered that local features have advantages over long-range features in higher-order link prediction. Therefore, it is necessary to develop more efficient and concise higher-order link prediction algorithms based on local features. In this paper, we proposed two similarity metrics via local information, simplicial decomposition weight (SDW) and closed ratio weight (CRW), to predict possible future higher-order interactions (simplices) in simplicial networks. These two algorithms capture local higher-order information at two aspects: simplex decomposition and cliques' state (closed or open). We tested their performance in eight empirical simplicial networks, and the results show that our proposed metrics outperform other benchmarks in predicting third-order and fourth-order interactions (simplices) in most cases. In addition, we explore the robustness of the proposed algorithms, and the results suggest that the performance of these novel algorithms is advanced under different sizes of training sets.

description: The PROTEX-SPR-MS method has unveiled several epitopes with promising medical applications, including an epitope peptide suitable for antibody removal in Fabry's disease. Additionally, an epitope conducive to early heart muscle injury diagnosis was identified and characterized.Furthermore, PROTEX-SPR-MS has been employed to study two distinct single-stranded DNA aptamers interacting with a tumor biomarker protein. This analysis has revealed that aptamers have remarkably similar affinity and epitope binding to antibodies, suggesting their potential utility in medical applications.

description: We implement full, three-dimensional constrained mixture theory for vascular growth and remodeling into a finite element fluid-structure interaction (FSI) solver. The resulting "fluid-solid-growth" (FSG) solver allows long term, patient-specific predictions of changing hemodynamics, vessel wall morphology, tissue composition, and material properties. This extension from short term (FSI) to long term (FSG) simulations increases clinical relevance by enabling mechanobioloigcally-dependent studies of disease progression in complex domains.

description: Controlling coherent interaction at avoided crossings is at the heart of quantum information processing. The regime between sudden switches and adiabatic transitions is characterized by quantum superpositions that enable interference experiments. Here, we implement periodic passages at intermediate speed in a GaAs-based two-electron charge qubit and observe Landau-Zener-Stückelberg-Majorana (LZSM) quantum interference of the resulting superposition state. We demonstrate that LZSM interferometry is a viable and very general tool to not only study qubit properties but beyond to decipher decoherence caused by complex environmental influences. Our scheme is based on straightforward steady state experiments. The coherence time of our two-electron charge qubit is limited by electron-phonon interaction. It is much longer than previously reported for similar structures.

description: Symmetry Protected Topological (SPT) phases are a minimal generalization of the concept of topological insulators to interacting systems. In this paper we describe the classification and properties of such phases for three dimensional(3D) electronic systems with a number of different symmetries. For symmetries representative of all classes in the famous 10-fold way of free fermion topological insulators/superconductors, we determine the stability to interactions. By combining with results on bosonic SPT phases we obtain a classification of electronic 3D SPT phases for these symmetries. In cases with a normal U(1) subgroup we show that this classification is complete. We describe the non-trivial surface and bulk properties of these states. In particular we discuss interesting correlated surface states that are not captured in a free fermion description. We show that in many, but not all cases, the surface can be gapped while preserving symmetry if it develops intrinsic topological order.
