description: Objectives: The objective of this study was to describe treatment patterns, survival, healthcare use and costs in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) in a real-world setting. Research design and methods: We used the National Health Insurance (NHI) claims database for the Ile-de-France region to perform a retrospective cohort analysis of patients with mRCC treated by a first-line targeted therapy. Treatment naïve patients were identified combining the 10th revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) codes (C64 & C77-C79) and a first prescription of targeted therapies. Descriptive analyses were performed on treatment patterns and patients’ characteristics. Progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were determined using Kaplan–Meier actuarial survival analysis. All healthcare resource use and costs were estimated on a per patient per month (PPPM) basis (€2016). Results: A total of 327 treatment naïve patients with mRCC were included. Median follow-up was 13.4 months. Sunitinib accounted for 73% of first-line treatments. The most frequently observed treatment sequence for the first two lines was sunitinib–everolimus (16%; n = 137) and for the first three lines sunitinib–everolimus–axitinib (20%; n = 49). First-line PFS for sunitinib, everolimus, pazopanib, sorafenib and other was 8.7, 6.2, 10.7, 5.7 and 11.2 months, respectively. Median OS for patients treated by first-line sunitinib, everolimus, pazopanib, sorafenib and other was respectively 14.7, 8.1, 21.1, 8.9 and 14.0 months. From the NHI’s perspective, the mean PPPM was €5546. The average PPPM in pre-progression was €5597 compared to €5541 beyond progression of the disease. Oral targeted therapies accounted for 53% of the total PPPM. Conclusion: This descriptive study showed that the economic burden of mRCC is substantial with oral targeted therapies accounting for 53% of the PPPM. OS and PFS in real life are poorer than observed in clinical trials.

description: Multi-modal medical images provide complementary soft-tissue characteristics that aid in the screening and diagnosis of diseases. However, limited scanning time, image corruption and various imaging protocols often result in incomplete multi-modal images, thus limiting the usage of multi-modal data for clinical purposes. To address this issue, in this paper, we propose a novel unified multi-modal image synthesis method for missing modality imputation. Our method overall takes a generative adversarial architecture, which aims to synthesize missing modalities from any combination of available ones with a single model. To this end, we specifically design a Commonality- and Discrepancy-Sensitive Encoder for the generator to exploit both modality-invariant and specific information contained in input modalities. The incorporation of both types of information facilitates the generation of images with consistent anatomy and realistic details of the desired distribution. Besides, we propose a Dynamic Feature Unification Module to integrate information from a varying number of available modalities, which enables the network to be robust to random missing modalities. The module performs both hard integration and soft integration, ensuring the effectiveness of feature combination while avoiding information loss. Verified on two public multi-modal magnetic resonance datasets, the proposed method is effective in handling various synthesis tasks and shows superior performance compared to previous methods.

Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2022

description: Analysis on a full season of matches (n= 21) from a professional rugby union club in the Guinness Pro 14 and European competition from the 2017-18 season took place. BIP times were split into four categories of specific durations which were used to design the GRIT simulation. The same methodology occurred for ball-out-of-play (BOP) durations and categories. The subsequent BIP and BOP periods were combined in a stochastic nature to replicate specific match play demands. Power profile scores took place both prior (baseline) and post players completing the GRIT simulation to establish the performance decrement in terms of Whole Squad and Positional analysis. The tests used in the Power Profile scores were Countermovement Jump (CMJ), Banded-Bench Press and Speed Tests with variables to measure aspects of physiological performance appropriate for rugby union. Through Kruskal Wallis post-hoc analysis, each position (n= 8) was subject to their own demands as no positions could be grouped together. The BIP categories, Short (15s, n=17), Moderate (20s, n=12), Long (40s, n=7) and Very Long (90s, n=3) totalled 16 mins. The BOP categories, Short (15s, n= 17), Moderate (40s, n= 12), Long (54s, n=7) and Very Long (85s, n=3) totalled 22 mins 48s. The total duration of the GRIT simulation was 38mins 48s. GRIT simulation: The position Back 3 covered the greatest Total Distance (4001m) and Sprint Distance (310m) for the whole simulation. The position Hooker had the greatest number of collisions (n= 25) and the greatest Moderate Acceleration metres of the forwards unit (188m). Centres had the largest distance covered for High Speed Running metres (880m) with Back 3 having the largest distance covered in Hard Acceleration metres (68m). Power Profiling: Whole Squad analysis illustrated a small increase in Effect Sizes (ES) for the speed tests 0-10m, 0m-20m and 10m-20m (d = 0.25, d = 0.34 and d = 0.40, respectively). Trivial ES were seen for all variables of the CMJ (d < 0.20), and a mix of trivial and moderate ES were evident for Banded-Bench Press variables. The Backs unit group illustrated the largest increase compared to forwards (d = 1.08) for the 10-20m speed test. Forwards unit group illustrated larger decrements in Banded-Bench Press variables (concentric mean power (W), d = -1.02) and CMJ variables (mean velocity (m/s), d = -0.45) from pre to post GRIT simulation.

description: Ptychopetalum olacoides is a folk medicinal plant for health care in market, especially in Brazil. Fourteen known compounds were isolated from P. olacoides and their chemical structures were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic data, including 1D NMR, 2D NMR, UV, IR and HR-ESI-MS. The 14 known compounds were identified as N-trans-feruloyl-3,5-dihydroxyindolin-2-one (1), magnoflorine (2), menisperine (3), 4-coumaroylserotonin (4), moschamine (5), luteolin (6), 4′-methoxyluteolin (7), 3-methoxyluteolin (8), 3, 7-dimethoxyluteolin (9), caffeic acid (10), ferulic acid (11), vanillic acid (12), syringic acid (13) and ginsenoside Re (14). To our knowledge, compounds (1–6, 13–14) were isolated from the plant for the first time. Additionally, quantitative analysis results indicated that calibration equations of compounds (1–3, 6, 9, 11–13) exhibited good linear regressions within the test ranges (R2 ≥ 0.9990) and magnoflorine and menisperine were the major constituents in the barks of P. olacoides. The contents of magnoflorine and menisperine accounted for 75.96% of all analytes. However, the content of phenolic components was smaller and the highest content was no more than 1.04 mg/g. Collectively, these results suggested that alkaloids are the dominant substances in P. olacoides, which can make a difference for the quality control and further use of P. olacoides.

description: 1. The growth performance of squabs reared solely by male or female parent pigeons was measured, and the changes of lipid content of crop milk and the expression profiles of genes potentially involved in lipid accumulation by crop tissues of parent pigeons were evaluated during incubation and chick rearing. 2. Squabs increased in body weight during 25 d of rearing, whereas both male and female pigeons lost weight after finishing rearing chicks, and the weight loss of male pigeons was significantly greater than that of female parent pigeons. Lipid content of crop milk from both parent pigeons gradually decreased to the crude fat level in the formulated diet after 10 d (R10) of chick rearing. 3. The gene expression of fatty acid translocase (FAT/CD36), fatty acid-binding protein 5 (EFABP) and acyl-CoA-binding protein (ACBP) in male pigeon crop tissue were the greatest at 17 d (I17) of incubation. In female pigeons, FAT/CD36 expression was the highest at I14, and both EFABP and ACBP expression peaked at I14 and R7. The expression of acetyl-CoA carboxylase and fatty acid synthase in male pigeons reached the maximum level at R1, while they peaked at I14 and I17, respectively in female pigeons. The gene expression of peroxisome proliferators-activated receptor-gamma (PPARγ) was the greatest at I17 in the male, while it was at I14 in the female. However, no regular changing pattern was found in PPARα gene expression in male pigeons. 4. These results indicated that male and female pigeons may make different contributions in rearing squabs. The gene expression study suggested that fatty acids used in lipid biosynthesis of crop milk probably originated from both exogenous supply and de novo synthesis. The sex of the parent pigeon affected the lipid content of crop milk and the expression profiles of genes involved in fatty acid transportation and lipogenesis.
title: Aiming for the top corner: Measuring top-quark pair production in association with additional jets in highly boosted events using the ATLAS detector
Creators: name: Jamieson, Jonathan
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2022

description: Since beginning operations in 2010 the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has consistently pushed the boundaries of high energy physics and provided a wealth of proton-proton collision events. Due to the high centre of mass energies achieved, and the QCD nature of protonproton collisions, the LHC is particularly suited to the production of top-quarks, resulting in the apt nickname of ’top factory’. This thesis outlines the process of making state-of-the-art precision measurements of the top-quark pair production cross-section in events with a high energy top-quark and additional radiation, using data recorded by the ATLAS detector at the LHC from 2015 to 2018. Focus is put on comparing measured values with different QCD predictions showcasing how suited current theories are to estimating complex, multi-scale, and above leading-order processes. Both single and double-differential cross-section measurements as functions of various event kinematic properties are presented with results derived from proton-proton collisions, at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. Additionally a single differential measurement is used to set limits on new physics using an effective field theory framework.

description: Ligand field molecular mechanics (LFMM) parameters have been benchmarked for copper (II) bound to the amyloid-β1-16 peptide fragment. Several density functional theory (DFT) optimised small test models, representative of different possible copper coordination modes, have been used to test the accuracy of the LFMM copper bond lengths and angles, resulting in errors typically less than 0.1 Å and 5°. Ligand field molecular dynamics (LFMD) simulations have been carried out on the copper bound amyloid-β1-16 peptide and snapshots extracted from the subsequent trajectory. Snapshots have been optimised using DFT and the semi-empirical PM7 method resulting in good agreement against the LFMM calculated geometry. Analysis of substructures within snapshots shows that the larger contribution of geometrical difference, as measured by RMSD, lies within the peptide backbone, arising from differences in DFT and AMBER, and the copper coordination sphere is reproduced well by LFMM. PM7 performs excellently against LFMM with an average RMSD of 0.2 Å over 21 tested snapshots. Further analysis of the LFMD trajectory shows that copper bond lengths and angles have only small deviations from average values, with the exception of a carbonyl moiety from the N-terminus, which can act as a weakly bound fifth ligand.

description: AbstractAgricultural contribution to GDP in Malaysia has been declining since 1970. The usages ofagricultural land are also gradually decreasing. Even within the total agricultural area, mostof the land has been used for industrial crops, and the ratio between industrial crops and foodcrops is increasing. Paddy is the main food crop in Malaysia, but as a low rate ofproductivity, farmers are engaged on part time basis. Therefore, it seems necessary to knowthe socioeconomic characteristics of the paddy farmers, their livelihood, and agriculturalsustainability for policy implementation and its evaluation. This study analyzes the currentprofile of the paddy farmers in the Integrated Agricultural Development Area (IADA), North-West Selangor, Malaysia based on primary data. The data was collected through aquestionnaire survey. Findings of the study suggest policy recommendations and action plansfor the improvement of the farmers’ livelihood. The findings of the study are important forthe policy makers and relevant agencies

description: AbstractLike other social services, education is one of the essential services that government isobliged to arrange for its country people, but to meet such increasing demand of educationalinfrastructures, government alone faces hues difficulties in capital investment especially inthe developing countries. So, for developing the education infrastructure and providingquality education programmes, Public Private Partnership (PPP) has been proven anadvanced tool for government in many of the countries. However, private investors may nothave much interest for a typical PPP deal in education sector, because government providesthe education services for free at the primary and secondary level. Therefore to make the PPPdeal attractive to private investors, this paper suggests two approaches of PPP funding underthe Built Operate and Transfer (BOT) models. Both the Viability Gap Funding (VGF) andAnnuity Payment provide the investors the required subsidy from the government throughpayment in the construction or operation phase to make the project viable. This allows privateinvestors to make revenue at expected level and government to save of hues up-frontinvestments. Moreover, among different types of PPP models, the suggested types – BOT -also ensures the quality of education programmes

title: The New Appointment System in Education in Cyprus: What is its effect on primary teachers’ professional identities?
Creators: name: Phylactou, Antigoni Michael
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2022

description: Teachers’ contemporary realities are facing a wide spectrum of education innovations and reforms that aim to improve education in ways that will improve students’ learning outcomes. However, in the push to reform education, often the repercussions on teachers are not included in the debate nor are they explored in any depth. One example of such efforts can be found in the Cyprus education system through its first ever major reform: the ‘New Appointment System in Education’. In this context, the influence on teachers’ professional identities has captured the interest of several education researchers but they ignore the way in which teachers respond to such initiatives, preferring, instead, to examine the consequences and changes this may have on teachers. The purpose of this research is to examine teachers’ perceptions of the education reform, exploring how this change has the potential to influence their professional practice and sense of professional identity, and how they respond. Discursive practices related to teachers’ professionalism and quality worked as areas of exploration and as a basis for both the construction of this research methodology and the interpretation of data. Foucault’s ideas on governmentality were utilised to help understand the power relations and discursive practices embedded in this reform. A case study was used as the method of inquiry, employing two sources of evidence: interviews and focus groups, through a qualitative approach and interpretivist paradigm. This research provides evidence that issues of power and control exist at the heart of education reforms and affect not only the relations between teachers and the relevant authorities but also the way teachers perceive themselves. The findings strongly indicate that, in the process of an education reform, there can be a disconnect between its intended aims and its actual consequences, delivered through the role of teachers in the reform. This research suggests that Foucault’s ideas are an important conceptual tool for understanding the ramifications of education reforms on teachers’ professional identities. At the same time, it shows that the way teachers are likely to respond and resist, specifically in this case through performance and managing impressions, may challenge the Foucauldian notion of government as ‘the conduct of conduct’, as well as the theory of governmentality, which requires the disciplining and subjectivation of teachers. Thus, the findings of this research provide another way of looking at how education academics and researchers explore the ways that teachers respond to education reforms, contributing to the already robust international research and literature that adopts Foucauldian notions to explore teachers’ professional identities in this context.

description: 1. The growth performance of squabs reared solely by male or female parent pigeons was measured and the changes of lipid content of crop milk and the expression profiles of genes potentially involved in lipid accumulation by crop tissues of parent pigeons, were evaluated during incubation and chick rearing. 2. Squabs increased in body weight during 25 d of rearing, whereas both male and female pigeons lost weight after finishing rearing chicks, and the weight loss of male pigeons was significantly greater than that of female parent pigeons. Lipid content of crop milk from both parent pigeons gradually decreased to the crude fat level in the formulated diet after 10 d (R10) of chick rearing. 3. The gene expression of fatty acid translocase (FAT/CD36), fatty acid binding protein 5 (EFABP) and acyl-CoA binding protein (ACBP) in male pigeon crop tissue were the greatest at 17 d (I17) of incubation. In female pigeons, FAT/CD36 expression was the highest at I14, and both EFABP and ACBP expression peaked at I14 and R7. The expression of acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) and fatty acid synthase (FAS) in male pigeons reached the maximum level at R1, while they peaked at I14 and I17, respectively in female pigeons. The gene expression of peroxisome proliferators-activated receptor-gamma (PPARγ) was the greatest at I17 in the male, while it was at I14 in the female. However, no regular changing pattern was found in PPARα gene expression in male pigeons. 4. These results indicated that male and female pigeons may make different contributions in rearing squabs. The gene expression study suggested that fatty acids used in lipid biosynthesis of crop milk probably originated from both exogenous supply and de novo synthesis. The sex of the parent pigeon affected the lipid content of crop milk and the expression profiles of genes involved in fatty acid transportation and lipogenesis.

description: Introduction: Intestinal parasitic infections (IPIs) are important causes of morbidity and mortality in patients with immunocompromising conditions. Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of IPIs in different groups of immunocompromised patients, including hemodialysis patients (HD), renal transplant recipients (RTR), cancer and HIV/AIDS patients in comparison with healthy individuals in two central cities of Iran (Kashan and Qom). Methods: In this case–control study, the stool samples of 135 HD, 50 RTR, 60 cancer patients, 20 HIV/AIDS patients and 120 healthy subjects were tested using direct-smear, formol-ether concentration, Ziehl–Neelsen staining and Agar plate method. Results: The overall infection rate was 11.7% (31/265) in patient groups and 0% (0/120) in the control group. The frequency of parasites was 25% in HIV/AIDS patients, 11.9% (16/135) in HD, 12.0% (6/50) in RTR and 6.7% (4/60) in cancer patients. Blastocystis hominis (4.2%) and Giardia lamblia (3.0%) were the most prevalent parasites in patient groups. The infection rate was significantly higher in male (17.6%) than female (5.4%) patients (p = .002), but no statistically significant association was observed according to the age and educational levels. Conclusions: This study showed a high prevalence of IPIs in immunocompromised patients. The results of this study suggest that periodic stool examinations for screening of IPIs should be included as a part of routine medical care in these patients.

description: Veratrum nigrum L. (VN) is a poisonous traditional Chinese medicine herb present since thousands of years in China. Clinical studies have shown that VN has the ability to cause hepatotoxicity, which severely limits its clinical use. The mechanism of its hepatotoxicity has not been fully elucidated. The purpose of this study was to develop and characterize a model of acute and chronic hepatotoxicity induced by Veratrum nigrum L. extract (VNE) to understand the mechanism of liver tissue metabolomics approach using on ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UHPLC-Q-TOFMS). Mice were administered with VNE in the acute and chronic phases. Histopathologic inspections and biochemistry analysis disclosed severe liver damage after exposure to VNE. A partial least-squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) of the metabolomic profiles of rat liver tissues highlighted a number of metabolic disturbances induced by VNE, focusing on purine and pyrimidine metabolism, tryptophan metabolism, phospholipid metabolism, sphingolipid metabolism and fatty acid metabolism. These findings could well explain VNE-induced acute and chronic hepatotoxicity and reveal several potential biomarkers associated with this toxicity. This indicates that UHPLC-Q-TOFMS-based metabolomics approach demonstrated its feasibility and allowed a better understanding of VNE-induced liver toxicity dynamically.

description: Neural network (NN) approximations of model predictive control (MPC) are a versatile approach if the online solution of the underlying optimal control problem (OCP) is too demanding and if an exact computation of the explicit MPC law is intractable. The drawback of such approximations is that they typically do not preserve stability and performance guarantees of the original MPC. However, such guarantees can be recovered if the maximum error with respect to the optimal control law and the Lipschitz constant of that error are known. We show in this work how to compute both values exactly when the control law is approximated by a maxout NN. We build upon related results for ReLU NN approximations and derive mixed-integer (MI) linear constraints that allow a computation of the output and the local gain of a maxout NN by solving an MI feasibility problem. Furthermore, we show theoretically and experimentally that maxout NN exist for which the maximum error is zero.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: The biocompatible, quickly recoverable, mechanically strong and tough polymer hydrogels have great potential for biomedical applications. A novel carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCTs)/graphene oxide (GO)/polyacrylamide (PAM) nanocomposite (NC) hydrogel with excellent mechanical performance was synthesized through a facile, one-pot free radical polymerization, using GO nanosheets as the crosslink centers instead of toxic organic molecules. The content of GO nanosheets and CMCTs has great influence on the mechanical properties of CMCTs/GO/PAM NC hydrogels. When the amount of GO nanosheets is 0.118 wt % and CMCTs is 1.5 wt % (to the total weight of CMCTs and acrylamide), CMCTs/GO/PAM hydrogel displays a compressive stress as high as 5.8 MPa at the breaking deformation of 87.5% and a tensile strength of 223.6 kPa at the failure strain of 631%. Besides, with nearly complete recovery in 1 min at the room temperature after unloading, the CMCTs/GO/PAM hydrogels exhibit excellent fast recoverability. Additionally, the CMCTs/GO/PAM hydrogels also have an obvious pH-responsive property.

description: Objective: To explore the associations between latitude and solar radiation with inflammatory bowel disease admission rates in Chile, the country with the largest variation in solar radiation in the world. Patients and methods: This is an ecological study, which included data on all hospital-admitted population for inflammatory bowel disease between 2001 and 2012, according to different latitudes and solar radiation exposures in Chile. The data were acquired from the national hospital discharge database from the Department of Health Statistics and Information of the Chilean Ministry of Health. Results: Between 2001 and 2012 there were 12,869 admissions due to inflammatory bowel disease (69% ulcerative colitis, 31% Crohn’s disease). Median age was 36 years (IQR: 25–51); 57% were female. The national inflammatory bowel disease admission rate was 6.52 (95% CI: 6.40–6.63) per 100,000 inhabitants with increasing rates over the 12-year period. In terms of latitude, the highest admission rates for pediatric ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease, as well as adult ulcerative colitis, were observed in the southernmost region with lowest annual solar radiation. Linear regression analysis showed that regional solar radiation was inversely associated with inflammatory bowel disease admissions in Chile (β: −.44, p = .03). Conclusions: Regional solar radiation was inversely associated with inflammatory bowel disease admission rates in Chile; inflammatory bowel disease admissions were highest in the southernmost region with lowest solar radiation. Our results support the potential role of vitamin D deficiency on inflammatory bowel disease flares.
