Salmonella Typhimurium

description: Salmonella enterica species are intracellular bacteria causative agents of gastroenteritis and typhoid fever in humans. Pregnancy poses an increased risk of severe Salmonellosis in many mammalian species contributing to miscarriage and/or maternal illness. Previous studies indicated that Salmonella infection in pregnant mice caused rapid fetal and maternal death due to massive bacterial proliferation in the placenta. However, the susceptibility of human primary trophoblast cells (cTBCs) to Salmonella infection was not known. We hypothesized that human placental trophoblast cells are productively infected and provide a unique intracellular niche that permits uncontrolled Salmonella replication due to an ineffective maternal innate immune response to the virulent bacteria resulting in placental death. Firstly, we observed that S.Tm strains defective in the Salmonella pathogenicity island (SPI)-1 type III secretion system (TTSS) (S.Tm-ΔinvA) were unable to enter epithelial cells, but efficiently infected placental choriocarcinoma cell lines through scavenger receptor-mediated endocytosis. Next, we observed that S.Tm failed to grow vigorously in macrophages, but replicated rapidly within epithelial and placental trophoblast cells. Further examination of intracellular localization of S.Tm indicated that bacteria were arrested in early Rab5 expressing phagosomal vesicles within trophoblast cells, whereas phagosomal maturation progressed steadily in macrophages (with expression of lysosomal-associated membrane protein-1 (LAMP-1) and cathepsin D). Moreover, human primary cTBCs harboring S.Tm underwent rapid death of the cells. Infected cTBCs expressed phosphorylated-receptor-interacting serine/threonine-protein kinase (RIPK)-1 protein and phosphorylated-mixed lineage kinase domain-like (MLKL), suggesting induction of the necroptosis pathway of cell death. Furthermore, specific inhibition of necroptosis rescued S.Tm-induced death of cTBCs. Finally, S.Tm infected trophoblast cells produced interleukin (IL)-10, and signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT)-3 signalling. This correlated to delayed phagosomal maturation which consequently facilitated intracellular pathogen proliferation. Overall, human trophoblast cells may act as reservoirs for S.Tm survival and may aid dissemination in the pregnant host.

NFIRAOS: TMT facility adaptive optics with conventional DMs.
Creators: name: Hickson, Paul
Publisher: name: Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE)
Year: 2011

description: Although many of the instruments planned for the TMT (Thirty Meter Telescope) have their own closely-coupled adaptive optics systems, TMT will also have a facility Adaptive Optics (AO) system feeding three instruments on the Nasmyth platform. For this Narrow-Field Infrared Adaptive Optics System, NFIRAOS (pronounced nefarious), the TMT project considered two architectures. One, described in this paper, employs conventional deformable mirrors with large diameters of about 300 mm and this is the reference design adopted by the TMT project. An alternative design based on MEMS was also studied, and is being presented separately in this conference. The requirements for NFIRAOS include 0.8-5 microns wavelength range, 30 arcsecond diameter output field of view (FOV), excellent sky coverage, and diffraction-limited atmospheric turbulence compensation (specified at 133 nm RMS including residual telescope and science instrument errors.) The reference design for NFIRAOS includes multiple sodium laser guide stars over a 70 arcsecond FOV, and an infrared tip/tilt/focus/astigmatism natural guide star sensor within instruments. Larger telescopes require greater deformable mirror (DM) stroke. Although initially NFIRAOS will correct a 10 arcsecond science field, it uses two deformable mirrors in series, partly to provide sufficient stroke for atmospheric correction over the 30 m telescope aperture, but mainly to partially correct a 2 arcminute diameter "technical" field to sharpen near-IR natural guide stars and improve sky coverage. The planned upgrade to full performance includes replacing the ground conjugated DM with a higher actuator density, and using a deformable telescope secondary mirror as a "woofer." NFIRAOS incorporates an instrument rotator and selection of three live instruments: a near-Infrared integral field Imaging spectrograph, a near-infrared echelle spectrograph, and after upgrading NFIRAOS to full multi-conjugation, a wide field (30 arcsecond) infrared camera.

description: It is hardly a secret in the world’s language landscape that the United States lags behind other developed nations in teaching foreign languages to its citizens. In one of the world’s most diverse nations, education policies at the local, state and federal levels have promoted a culture of monolingualism and one of the least effective language education systems of the 21st century. This paper explores the cause of this discouraging development from both a historical and political perspective, comparing the United States to its peer nations and examining the activity of citizen organizations formed to affirm or resist our monolinguistic tendencies. At the close of this paper, I argue for several innovative policy developments in the field of language education. I have written versions of this paper in both English and Spanish.
Révolution et souveraineté. L’idéalisation nécessaire du peuple.

description: Si la Révolution française se fait au nom du peuple, la réalité de celui-ci n’en finira pas de poser problème. Par-delà ses figures polysémiques, ce n’est pas seulement en tant que nouvel acteur politique que surgit le peuple dans l’espace public – « bas peuple » des villes, catégorie sociologique associant révolte socio-économique et revendications politiques –, mais surtout comme détenteur ultime de la souveraineté, « peuple-nation » incarnation de la liberté collective. Concept mystérieux, voire mystique, mais néanmoins indispensable et incontournable, le peuple reste indissociablement lié à l’interrogation permanente sur la nature de la démocratie moderne, jusqu’à la crise contemporaine qui touche nos « sociétés des individus », dans laquelle sa composition, son expression, ses frontières continuent de poser d’insolubles questions.

description: Currently, social network owns the hottest topic in people’s life. The real system belongs to the complex physics model and data-mining area. Social network, like facebook.com, myspace.com and twitter.com, is a real-time complex system. Author tries to introduce a model [1] to predict the life cycle of the social network. A social network is a social structure made up of a set of actors (such as individuals or organizations) and the dyadic ties between these actors. The social network perspective provides a clear way of analyzing the structure of whole social entities. The study of these structures uses social network analysis to identify local and global patterns, locate influential entities, and examine network dynamics.

description: Abstract: The abundance of ancient worlds detected by the Kepler Mission and others brings the persistence of the Fermi Paradox into stark relief. If an existential (sterilizing) risk to Earth emerged before an interstellar civilization were established, it could eliminate the prospects for complex life across an unknowable span of future time. In the absence of evidence of interstellar life, we must cultivate life on Earth as if the future of life in our region of the universe depended on it. Near-term, humanity must rise to its potential. Long-term, life must find a way. In this presentation and discussion, we will propose an open project to collaboratively plan and build what we call Vessel Archives: Compact, focused habitats that foster our most sustainable methods and focus our most aspirational traces during our immediate challenges, emphasizing 100 Year Starship efforts as a milestone on our journey. Yet Vessel Archives would also serve as long-term cultural, biological, and geological archives within self-sustaining biospheres. This session's immediate goal will be an overview comprehensive enough to launch the concept into public collaboration, and many approaches from different fields will be integrated. We will explore (among other topics): the tension between curation and sampling through the lens of Benford’s “Library of Life” proposal; the urgent aspiration that Vessel Archives serve as galvanizing beacons for humanity; and the enduring mission of securing the resources we would need on-site to engineer spaceworthy vessels from within isolated installations, even in the absence of signals from a global civilization. NOTE: This working paper is a draft meant for reference and to aid in further discussion with conference attendees at the 100YSS Symposium, September 13-16, 2012. It is not submission-complete.

Building Durable Missions Through Cultural Exchange: Language, Religion, and Trade on the Frontier Missions of Paraguay

description: This thesis explores the cultural interactions between the Jesuit missionaries and the Guaraní indigenous peoples in the missions of Paraguay from 1609 to 1767. A particular attention is given to the missions’ formative years in which both groups refined their cultural strategies. Specifically, this thesis will explore the collaboration between the two groups and the cultural concessions made by both sides for the project to succeed. While missions are used as an area of evangelization by the Orders that operate them, involvement with the Jesuits allowed the Guaraní to avoid interactions with other settlers and colonial authorities. By agreeing to convert, they gained the protection of the Jesuits. However, they consistently threatened to leave or to refuse work if their protectors took away their most treasured cultural elements: their divine language and their use of sacred herbs like yerba mate. Furthermore, this thesis delves into power relations in the forgotten frontier. An inconsequential source of income for the Spanish Crown, the Province of Paraguay’s main importance was a presence in the buffer zone next to the Portuguese Empire in Brazil. Actors in this frontier─including the Guaraní and the Jesuits─were granted more autonomy and were able to interact with very little royal interference, resulting in an organic cultural exchange between the groups.

description: Efficient Market Hypothesis has always been a hot topic for empirical study in Finance. In this paper, we examine the efficiencies of Mainland China and Hong Kong markets by analyzing the different reactions of stock price and volatility to credit rating changes. The study of impact of credit rating change also fills a gap of no empirical analysis of credit rating change effect in these two markets.
 In a semi-strong efficient market, investors cannot make profit based on public information. In this study, we select Chinese cross-listed A-H share companies as our sample and compare the effects of bond rating changes on A-share stock price and H-share stock price. The differences in the stock return and volatility reactions signify the differences in market efficiency. The results from an event study indicate that neither market is semi-strong efficient and Hong Kong market is more efficient in digesting credit rating change information. Both Mainland China and Hong Kong markets show statistically significant and negative abnormal returns after the announcement of credit rating downgrades and only Mainland China market shows statistically significant abnormal returns before the announcement. Hong Kong market shows statistically significant and positive abnormal returns around the announcement of credit rating upgrades and Mainland China market shows no statistically significant abnormal returns around the announcement. Concerning volatility, credit rating downgrades can cause significant positive abnormal volatility around the announcement date in both Mainland China and Hong Kong markets, while there is no significant abnormal volatility around the announcement of credit rating upgrades.
 In the cross-sectional analysis of return reactions to credit rating changes, pre-announcement abnormal returns and whether credit ratings moved to speculative grade have an impact on the abnormal returns during the announcement.

description: In this paper a Bayesian Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method discussed in Huang and Yu (2010) is applied to estimate the credit risk models with microstructure noise, using the daily equity data from China. In literature, the observed equity prices are known to be influenced by market microstructure effects so that they deviate from the corresponding efficient prices. Credit risk models with microstructure noise is a way to depict this relationship. In the Bayesian framework, we employ Gibbs sampling, which is a Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) technique, to analyze such models. We estimate the model with Gaussian iid microstructure term, using equity data of the firms in the Shanghai Stock Exchange 50 index constitutes. Estimates in the model converge well when we use the data of 6 firms out of 16 in our sample.

description: The research paper Fully Homomorphic Encryption over the Integers by van Dijk, Gentry, Halevi, and Vaikuntanathan [31] explores the construction of an encryption scheme over the integers that is fully homomorphic, using modular arithmetic. The plaintext messages in this encryption are single bits and the ciphertexts are large integers. The homomorphic property means that the algebraic operations on the plaintexts can be carried out analogously on the ciphertexts. We analyze in detail the parameter constraints required to make the scheme functional and secure, prove auxiliary results about noise accumulation, and generate a toy example to concretely illustrate parts of the scheme.
Forecasting output growth and inflation with stock returns: A MIDAS approach
Creators: name: CAI, Yu

Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: 150202 Financial Econometrics
subject: FOS: Economics and business

description: Improving forecasts of macroeconomic indicators such as output growth and inflation is of focal interest to academics and policy makers. Because stock returns can be observed at very high frequencies, there is the question of whether high frequency information is useful for forecasting output and inflation. Furthermore, stock data is timely, whereas macro data is available only at a lag, so there is a question of whether stock returns can help to indicate the current state of the economy, i.e., "nowcasting". In this thesis, we study the predictive power of daily stock returns on output growth and inflation with Mixed Data Sampling (henceforth, MIDAS) regression models both in forecasting and nowcasting contexts. We filter the daily stock returns with a newly proposed frequency domain filter, and aggregate the daily data with MIDAS weights using estimated parameter values. We find that predictors with MIDAS regressions perform quite well in inflation forecasting. For Singapore inflation, filtered stock returns forecast better than unfiltered stock returns; for US inflation, on the other hand, unfiltered stock returns forecast better than filtered stock returns. Predictors with MIDAS regressions perform fairly well in Singapore output growth forecasting in that contemporary stock returns have higher forecasting accuracy than the benchmark model, but for the US output growth, we don't see any improvements with our MIDAS regressions.
Human rights protection : the role of institutional capacity and selective adaptation
Creators: name: Potter, Pitman B.
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2018

description: This paper will examine the potential application of selective adaptation and institutional capacity to understanding of international human rights norms and practices. Enforcement of international human rights norms depends on the capacity of intermediary institutions; that is, their ability to perform their assigned tasks. Institutional performance is in turn contingent on domestic political and socio-economic conditions, and as such, local conditions of rapid socio-economic and political transformation pose particular challenges. The other key concept in this paper, selective adaptation, describes a process by which practices and norms are exchanged across cultural boundaries. The dynamic of selective adaptation can operate to mediate international norms and local enforcement as in the case of the right to development—a right which differs markedly from the liberal ideals of individual rights. This paper will posit that selective adaptation may offer an approach to resolving tensions between other conflicting international and local human rights norms as well, and thereby provide a basis for mutual understanding and common commitment to recognizing and protecting the rights of all people.
Estimating and forecasting intraday volatility

subject: FOS: Economics and business

description: The purpose of this study is to investigate stock volatility and forecasting performance of different volatility models over high-frequency intervals. The multiplicative component model that decomposes the conditional variance into a daily component and a periodicity component is studied with different specifications. This model is applied to 30 stocks. For the daily component, both parametric and non-parametric measures are considered. 12 models that capture the long memory feature of volatility are examined. Our results show the HAR-MEM model with overnight jump and the HAR-MEM model have the best forecasting performance among 12 models, and adding an overnight return term improves model’s forecasting ability. Periodicity component is captured by the proportion of summation of intraday volatility to summation of daily volatility over some time period. In comparison with the literature, our specification of periodicity component has slightly better forecasting performance in the first 2-hour volatility.

Shared decision-making

description: This thesis examines strategies to address the inappropriate proton pump inhibitor (PPI) use. A scoping review was conducted to examine patient preferences and values towards PPI initiation and continued treatment, as well as their attitudes towards reducing PPI use (deprescribing). Symptom control (reflux, heartburn) was a driver for patients to seek treatment. Patients were concerned about symptoms returning if they reduced their PPI use but were interested in using less medication if possible. Patients were open to discussing PPI reduction and valued clear communication about rationale and potential benefits/harms. As such, shared and informed decision-making (including eliciting patient values) is important in the choice to continue a PPI or try deprescribing. A decision-support tool for clinicians, aimed at the decision to continue a PPI versus try deprescribing, was implemented over 12 months in one long-term care home in Ottawa. The tool led to a non-statistically significant decrease in PPI use after it was implemented, but PPI usage began to gradually increase after six months. Strategies to sustain use of deprescribing initiatives are needed. Finally, a consult patient decision aid (PtDA) was developed and piloted in three Ottawa area clinics, and aimed to facilitate shared decision-making surrounding the decision to continue or try to reduce a PPI during a healthcare visit. Based on a sample of 12 patients, the consult PtDA increased knowledge about the decision and increased decisional confidence. After receiving the consult PtDA, 8/12 (75%) patients chose to reduce their PPI use and 4/12 (25%) chose to continue their PPI.

description: The Statewide Landcover and Trees Study (SLATS) is a major vegetation monitoring initiative of the Queensland Department of Natural Resources and Water (NRW). SLATS gathers accurate woody vegetation cover and land cover change information for vegetation management planning and compliance, and for greenhouse gas inventory purposes. The SLATS land cover change is produced annually over the state of Queensland and is required to map changes in woody vegetation at a sub-hectare scale. Detailed operational mapping of such a large area requires robust and automated methods wherever possible in the image processing chain. The SLATS woody vegetation change classification relies on the analysis of Landsat TM and ETM+ satellite imagery but this imagery is limited in its ability to reliably detect minor clearing and more subtle changes in woody vegetation such as thinning and drought related death using only two image dates. However, by accessing the SLATS archive of Landsat imagery it is possible to develop change detection algorithms that account for the historical variability of woody cover to improve the classification estimator. This paper describes the development of the classifier, which uses the statewide change classification from previous eras as training data to derive both time series and spectrally based indices. The output from the classifier is a woody change probability and an interpretation image that is then checked by an operator before field validation.

description: A systematic review of the current review literature was undertaken to identify prevention strategies for motor vehicle crashes (MVCs) and intervention strategies for crash-related injuries occurring among young drivers. Six strategies for keeping young drivers safe were identified from systematic review articles, six strategies were identified from review articles, and two risk factors without accompanying strategies were also found. Recommendations for BC regarding each of these prevention and intervention strategies were formulated based on the collective evidence.

description: Over a period of time, it has been studied that a mobile “edge-cloud” formed by hand-held devices could be a productive resource entity for providing a service in the mobile cloud landscape. The ease of access to a pool of devices is much more arbitrary and based purely on the needs of the user. This pool can act as a provider of an infrastructure for various services that can be processed with volunteer node participation, where the node in the vicinity is itself a service provider. This representation of cloud formation to engender a constellation of devices in turn providing a service is the basis for the concept of Mobile Ad-hoc Cloud Computing. In this thesis, an architecture is designed for providing an Infrastructure as a service in Mobile Ad-hoc Cloud Computing. The performance evaluation reveals the gain in execution time while offloading to the mobile ad-hoc cloud. Further, this novel architecture enables discovering a dedicated pool of volunteer devices for computation. An optimized task scheduling algorithm is proposed that provides a coordinated resource allocation. However, failure to maintain the service between heterogeneous networks shows the inability of the present day networks to adapt to frequent changes in a network. Thus, owing to the heavy dependence on the centralized mobile network, the service related issues in a mobile ad-hoc cloud needs to be addressed. As a result, using the principles of Software Defined Networking (SDN), a disruption tolerant Mobile Ad-hoc Cloud framework is proposed. To evaluate this framework a comprehensive case study is provided in this work that shows a round trip time improvement using an SDN controller.

description: Piekkala, A. (2012) Challenges of Public Health Education in the former Soviet Union: Example of Ukraine. Tobacco Control and Public Health in Eastern Europe, 2 (2), 67-76. Anna Piekkala Abstract INTRODUCTION: Many former Soviet Union (fSU) countries face a high burden of disease and a much lower life expectancy compared to western countries. Many of the underlying causes are amenable to public health interventions, but the prevailing Soviet approach to prevention has largely failed to address the new and more complex public health issues these countries face. This study looks at public health challenges in Ukraine, in particular at those related to public health education.   METHODS: The research is based on a small-scale, qualitative analysis of information collected through i) review of literature related to public health and public health education in the former Soviet Union and Ukraine, as well as curricula and training material for epidemiology students in Ukrainian medical schools, ii) observations during workshops for epidemiology students and teachers from Ukrainian medical schools and iii) semi-structured interviews with epidemiology students and teachers from Ukrainian medical schools. The collected data was interpreted using the method of thematic discourse analysis, which allowed identifying major areas challenging public health education in the country.   RESULTS: The main challenges identified were seen in the outdated conceptual understanding of public health, particularly in epidemiology. These challenges underlie further problems including limited hours and narrow content of epidemiology training, lack of training in research skills, inadequate training material and conservative attitudes among teachers and students towards prevailing ideas and development.   DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: There is urgent need for a wider definition of public health, moving towards the “New Public Health” approach and subsequently a series of changes to education curricula and materials. Curricula reform should provide additional hours for covering non-communicable diseases, non-medical topics such as health policy and health promotion and ensure linkage between training and research. Critical evaluation of current approaches, their impact and performance is essential for reforming public health education programmes and strengthening health systems.

Pictorial Visualization System with Patient Portal for Problem-based Electronic Medical Record

Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2017
Subjects: EMR

description: The use of electronic medical records (EMRs) has yet to reach its potential for information visualization and achieve corresponding expected outcomes. Current EMR systems show numerous health data with large amounts of texts, which are sometimes integrated in various tables. This type of presentation presents difficulties in promptly determining medical conditions or quickly finding desired information given the volume of texts that needs to be read. Amid these problems, researchers and developers have not explored the creation of easy and intuitive user interfaces for visualizing EMRs. To bridge the gap between current EMR and ideal EMR systems, we propose a prototype web-based pictorial visualization system that can be used by both patients and doctors. The system allows spatial interactivity through representations of human body images (front and back views) and temporal interactivity through interconnected time axes. Medical histories are classified using 11 physiological systems to enable efficient browsing of selected information. This classification enables physicians to quickly understand patients’ health conditions and accordingly make medical decisions, which are useful in emergency rooms and intensive care units.

Quality of Services

description: Currently a growing number of users depend on the Edge Cloud Computing Paradigm in a Metro Optical Network (MON). This has led to increased competition among the Cloud Service Providers (CPs) to supply incentives for the user through guaranteed Quality of Service (QoS). If the CP fails to guarantee the QoS for the accepted request, then the user will move to another CP. Making an informed decision dynamically in such a sensitive situation demands that the CP knows the user's application requirements. The Software Defined Networking (SDN) paradigm enabled the CP to achieve such desired requirement. Therefore, a framework called Virtual Network Embedding on SDN-based Metro Optical Network (VNE-MON) is proposed in this Thesis. The use of SDN paradigm in the framework guarantees profit to the CP as well as QoS to the user.\par The design concept of the SDN control plane, raises concerns regarding its scalability, reliability and performance compared to a traditionally distributed network. To justify concerns regarding the SDN, the performance of VNE-MON and its possible dependancy on the controller location is investigated. Several strategies are proposed and formulated using Integer Linear Programming to determine the controller location in a MON. Performance results from the assessment of the VNE-MON illustrates that it is more stable compare to GMPLS-based network. It is evident that the controller location's attributes have a significant effect on the efficacy of the accepted VN request.
