description: “Change is the only constant in life,” said the Greek philosopher Heraclitus. In order to function and develop under uncertainty, our complex society, as well as its elementary agents, must exhibit an appropriate adaptation. Hence, it is imperative to understand how adaptation takes place in complex systems. This understanding should include a theory of adaptation that would enable us to model and predict its outcomes using the language of mathematics. In this work, we provide an attempt to present such a theory. A review of major directions is provided in Chapter 1 of the thesis. Chapter 2 provides a hierarchy of models of adaptation. These models are based on Hans Selye’s and Bernard Goldstone’s axioms of adaptation: an organism (or a group of individuals) is represented as a system which optimizes distribution of the internal adaptation resource (“Adaptation Energy”) for neutralization of an aggressive factor. A general analysis of these models is presented in the same chapter. In this Chapter 3, we provide an example of the application of these principles and models to the problem of understanding complex spontaneous activity of neural cultures. We demonstrate that the rich dynamics of activity patterns in neural cultures can be described by very simple equations modelling “adaptation” in such systems. In Chapter 4 we present another take on adaptation through correlation graphs measuring correlations between agents in complex systems. We discuss a potential of using these graphs for early warning of crisis for various systems. We demonstrate this on examples of the thirty largest companies from the Financial Times Stock Exchange 100 Index during the two major crises – the global financial crisis of 2008 and the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020. Chapter 5 concludes the thesis and discusses directions for future work.

description: Scholars have long recognized gender variation in social relationship dynamics. However, how gender shapes developmental networking relationships for career advancement, particularly among university faculty members, is understudied. This area of research is important since women comprise an increasing proportion of faculty and yet report receiving less mentoring and lower career satisfaction, productivity, and advancement than their male counterparts. This cross-sectional study assessed gender differences in self-reported dimensions of faculty participants’ developmental networks by collecting information on relationships with developers, who are people who have taken concerted action and offered professional and personal guidance to help participants advance in their careers over the past year. The investigators used egocentric network data from an electronically administered Mentoring Network Questionnaire collected from 159 faculty involved in a mentoring intervention during the pandemic. Faculty were from multiple Southwest and Mountain West institutions. Statistical analyses were performed using the Chi-squared test, Wilcoxon rank-sum test, and unadjusted multilevel regression. Female faculty chose developers of lower gender diversity than male faculty (p=0.01). Compared to male faculty, female faculty reported receiving more psychosocial support from individual developers (p=0.03). Female faculty members’ developers were more often characterized as friends and less often described as sponsors and allies than male faculty, based on relative levels of career and psychosocial support that individual developers provided (p<0.001). No gender differences were found in other network characteristics. Female faculty build developmental networks that have different factors compared to male faculty. Greater levels of psychosocial support and fewer allies and sponsors for female faculty may have long-term implications for differential career advancement for women vs. men in academic careers. Strategies to enhance networking should address gender differences and include a structured framework for assessing network gaps.

description: The Adiabatic Flame Temperature (AFT) in combustion represents the maximum attainable temperature at which the chemical energy in the reactant fuel is converted into sensible heat in combustion products without heat loss. AFT depends on the fuel, oxidizer, and chemical composition of the products. Computing AFT requires solving either a nonlinear equation or a larger minimization problem. This study obtained the AFTs for oxy-methane (methane and oxygen), oxy-hydrogen (hydrogen and oxygen), air-methane (methane and air), and air-hydrogen (hydrogen and air) for stoichiometric conditions. The reactant temperature was 298.15 K (25°C), and the pressure was kept constant at 1 atm. Two reaction mechanisms were attempted: a global single-step irreversible reaction for complete combustion and the GRI-Mech 3.0 elementary mechanism (53 species, 325 steps) for chemical equilibrium with its associated thermodynamic data. NASA CEARUN was the main modeling tool used. Two other tools were used for benchmarking: an Excel and a Cantera-Python implementation of GRI-Mech 3.0. The results showed that the AFTs for oxy-methane were 5,166.47 K (complete combustion) and 3,050.12 K (chemical equilibrium), and dropped to 2,326.35 K and 2,224.25 K for air-methane, respectively. The AFTs for oxy-hydrogen were 4,930.56 K (complete combustion) and 3,074.51 K (chemical equilibrium), and dropped to 2,520.33 K and 2,378.62 K for air-hydrogen, respectively. For eight combustion modeling cases, the relative deviation between the AFTs predicted by CEARUN and GRI-Mech 3.0 ranged from 0.064% to 3.503%.

description: We describe a successive convex programming (Sequential Convex Programming (SCP)) based approach for estimate the set of points where a 5-degree of freedom (5-DoF) reusable launch vehicle (RLV) returning to a landing site can transition from aerodynamic to propulsive descent. Determining the set of feasible ignition points that a RLV can use and then safely land is important for mission planning and range safety. However, past trajectory optimization approaches for RLVs consider substantially simplified versions of the vehicle dynamics. Furthermore, prior reachability analysis methods either do not extend to the full constraint set needed for an RLV or are too beset by the curse of dimensionality to handle the full 5-DoF dynamics. To solve this problem, we describe an algorithm that approximates the projection of a high dimensional reachable set onto a low dimensional space. Instead of computing all parts of the reachable space, we only calculate reachability in the projected space of interest by using repeated trajectory optimization to sample the reachable polytope in the reduced space. The optimization can take into account initial and terminal constraints as well as state and control constraints. We show that our algorithm is able to compute the projection of a reachable set into a low dimensional space by calculating the feasible ignition points for a two-phase aerodynamic/propulsive RLV landing trajectory, while also demonstrating the aerodynamic divert enabled by our body and fin actuator model.
“La Religione, La Patria, e la Famiglia” : Comparison of the Reactions of Italian Americans in Philadelphia and New York City to Fascism, 1910s-1930s

description: In the period between 1880 and 1920, Italy experienced the mass migration of 17 million of its inhabitants, which brought millions of these Italians to settle in the United States. This influx of Italian immigration to the United States reached its tail end just as Benito Mussolini was beginning to introduce his fascist doctrine to Italy, rapidly rising to power shortly after. This research involves and analysis and comparison of the responses of the Italian Americans in both Philadelphia and New York City to the rise of Mussolini’s fascism during the early 1910s to the early 1930s. To understand how each city’s Italian-American communities responded, this thesis focuses on the way their reactions to fascism are reflected in their Italian-American press organizations, religious organizations, labor organizations and social organizations. The differences found between the reactions of those Italian Americans in New York City and in Philadelphia are then placed in the context of each city's unique challenges and conditions in order to provide an explanation of why such variance in their reactions occurred.
The Reagan Administration, Iranian-backed Terrorism and the Cold War

description: Ronald Reagan entered the White House in 1981 as the president who had promised to confront the foreign enemies of the United States. Whilst the Soviet Union remained the single greatest threat to the United States, the 1979 hostage crisis in Iran had dramatically raised concerns over international terrorism. Reagan’s approach to this threat was unequivocal - those responsible would be subject to “swift and effective retribution.” Despite this pledge, Iran, and its surrogates, were not confronted for their involvement in the 1983 bombings of the U.S. Embassy and Marine barracks in Beirut, the 1984 bombing of the U.S. Embassy annex building and the hijacking of TWA Flight 847. This thesis argues that the Reagan administration did not retaliate for these acts of terrorism because of Iran’s strategic significance to the Cold War and the administration’s wider priorities in the strategically vital Persian Gulf region. Using extensive archival and primary source material, this thesis provides a unique new addition to the literatures on the Reagan administration, U.S.-Iran relations and U.S. policy toward international terrorism.

description: The way Leibniz applied his philosophy to mathematics has been the subject of longstanding debates. A key piece of evidence is his letter to Masson on bodies. We offer an interpretation of this often misunderstood text, dealing with the status of infinite divisibility in nature, rather than in mathematics. In line with this distinction, we offer a reading of the fictionality of infinitesimals. The letter has been claimed to support a reading of infinitesimals according to which they are logical fictions, contradictory in their definition, and thus absolutely impossible. The advocates of such a reading have lumped infinitesimals with infinite wholes, which are rejected by Leibniz as contradicting the partwhole principle. Far from supporting this reading, the letter is arguably consistent with the view that infinitesimals, as inassignable quantities, are mentis fictiones, i.e., (well-founded) fictions usable in mathematics, but possibly contrary to the Leibnizian principle of the harmony of things and not necessarily idealizing anything in rerum natura. Unlike infinite wholes, infinitesimals - as well as imaginary roots and other well-founded fictions - may involve accidental (as opposed to absolute) impossibilities, in accordance with the Leibnizian theories of knowledge and modality.

description: Cet article a pour objectif de trouver les principaux déterminants de la performance financière des banques commerciales des pays de la CEA. Pour y arriver, nous avons utilisé l’économétrie des données de panel. Notre échantillon porte sur 100 banques commerciales de 6 sur 8 pays constituant cette communauté pour la période de 2014-2022.

Les résultats montrent d’abord que la taille bancaire, la liquidité bancaire, la présence d’administrateurs indépendants dans le conseil d’administration et la croissance du PIB ont des effets positifs et significatifs sur la ROA et sur la ROE. Ensuite, nous avons trouvé que la qualité des auditeurs externes à la banque et la taille du conseil d’administration de la banque ont des effets négatifs et significatifs que ça soit sur la ROA que sur la ROE.  Enfin, les résultats montrent que la capitalisation affecte négativement et significativement la ROE au moment où les dépôts bancaires ont un effet positif et significatif sur la ROA. De plus, les crédits accordés à la clientèle affectent positivement et significativement la ROA. Il est souhaitable que les différentes banques étudiées suivent de près ces déterminants trouvés dans le but d’améliorer la qualité de leur performance financière.

description: Renewable energies provide effective sustainable development by raising living standards, accelerating economic growth, and mitigating pollution. However, specifically in developing countries, the lack of information, data, and local expertise challenges the design process and long-term success of renewable energy systems. Following the call for inter-disciplinary, solution-oriented research, this work uses a design science research-approach to facilitate multi-energy planning. The decision support system NESSI4D is developed, which considers site-specific economic, environmental, technological, and social factors and is tuned for stakeholder needs in developing countries. Following a step-by-step process model manual, the artifact’s applicability is demonstrated in a use case for a rural community in Thua Thien-Hue, Vietnam. Missing load data are synthesized from the TVSEP with the software RAMP. The results show that the implementation of renewable energy technologies only enables affordable, low-emission electrification with governmental financial incentives. Several sensitivity tests illustrate the impact of changing assumptions and highlight the importance of detailed analyses with highly specialized tools. The demonstrating use case validates the method’s relevance for research and practice towards the goals of effective sustainable development.

subject: Gene and molecular therapy

description: Background: Targeted Next-Generation Sequencing (tNGS) is commonly used to detect genetic mutations in patients with leukemia on DNA-level, necessitating additional methods to confirm genomic rearrangements and gene fusions.Methods: A total of 357 adults diagnosed with leukemia were included in the study. The tNGS panel includes all exons from 302 genes closely associated with leukemia and 95 introns from 26 genes, facilitating the detection of gene fusion alterations within these specific regions. Additionally, the common breakpoint regions of IGH and MYC are employed for the detection of IGH orMYC rearrangements. Commercial quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) reagents were used simultaneously to detect 45 gene fusions in RNA samples.Results: The qRT-PCR method detected a total of 102 gene fusions, encompassing 23 distinct types. The tNGS method identified gene fusions on DNA-level in 98 samples, achieving a Positive Percent Agreement (PPA) of 96.1% (98/102) when compared to the qRT-PCR method, and no false positive findings. Additionally, it revealed the presence of two gene fusions, KMT2A::ELL and KMT2A::MLLT3, which had gone undetected by qRT-PCR. The tNGS can also identify IGH or MYC gene rearrangements in patients with B-ALL, achieving a PPA of 93.8%(15/16) when compared to the FISH. Moreover, tNGS can accurately identify the specific partner genes associated with these rearrangements, facilitating a more precise analysis of the impact of mutations on prognosis.Conclusion: This study demonstrates the feasibility of employing tNGS methods to concurrently identify gene mutations and fusions (including IGH andMYC rearrangements) at the DNA level in adults with leukemia.

Digitally enabled activism: a study of hashtag activism and unemployment in Oman
Creators: name: Ambusaidi, Khamis
Publisher: name: University of Leicester
Year: 2022
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This research explores the interplay between Twitter hashtag activism and the unemployment movement in Oman. It examines the dynamics of the unemployment movement on Twitter in relation to the broader unemployment crisis in Oman and the country’s sociopolitical, ethnoreligious and socioeconomic characteristics, exploring how these characteristics may impact digital activism and how a Twitter-based movement can make a difference, if at all, in offline contexts of the kind of Oman’s monarchic system. This research draws upon the cyberconflict framework (Karatzogianni, 2006) that borrows from three theories - social movement theory, media theory and conflict theory, as its theoretical framework. A mixed methods design was employed: thematic analysis of 5,163 tweets and semi-structured interviews with 17 job seekers. The findings demonstrate that nationalism, national identity and other traits of the Omani context have been important motivators for the development of the unemployment movement on Twitter. Additionally, movement actors utilised Twitter as an opportunity to initiate alternative and digital-based civil society organisations due to the overall weakened and controlled civil society environment in the country. While the findings show that Omani netizens used soft activism strategies where the Twitter sphere has enabled Omani netizens and has constituted the platform for expression of direct, critical and even verbally aggressive discourses against government officials more visible, the movement was quite ‘conservative’, not radical, nor seeking broader change. The research concludes that Twitter hashtag activism can facilitate the creation of a digital activism infrastructure in contexts where offline protesting/mobilisation is banned or seriously restricted. The study offers evidence for the further understanding of how digital technologies can facilitate digital activism and the characteristics of digital activism in contexts of the kind of Oman. In this regard, the study enriches the Western literature about digital activism and online social movements, opening new avenues for advancing academic debates about digital activism in contexts of the kind of Oman.

description: Explanations for the West’s escape from premature mortality have focused on chronic malnutrition or income and on public health or state capacity. We argue that by ignoring the multigenerational effects of variance in ancestors’ harvests, we are underestimating the contribution of modern economic growth to the escape from early death at older ages. Using a newly constructed multigenerational dataset for Sweden, we show that grandsons’ longevity was strongly linked to spatial shocks in paternal grandfathers’ yearly harvest variability when agricultural productivity was low and market integration was limited. We reason that an epigenetic mechanism is the most plausible explanation for our findings. We posit that the removal of trade barriers, improvements in transportation, and agricultural innovation reduced harvest variability. We contend that for older Swedish men (but not women) born 1830-1909 this reduction was as important as decreasing contemporaneous infectious disease rates and more important than eliminating exposure to poor harvests in-utero.

description: This deliverable consists of two public hands-on guides for heritage professionals who are interested in measuring and enhancing the impact of their digital projects. Part 1 focuses on the impact created by organisational learning; part 2 discusses ways to develop a communication, dissemination and exploitation strategy that will enhance the impact of the digital project. Three
 appendices, which are not for publication, are added to provide information related to the Mingei project specifically: Stakeholder definition, prioritisation and analysis for Mingei; Detailed planning of WP7 activities and reporting; Innovation, social and scientific impact of Mingei. For this project, the emphasis lies on impact that can be created over the course of the project’s duration, rather than after product launch. Three areas for potential impact have been identified: building and improving stakeholder relationships and internal skills development, which focus on internal impact (part 1) and strategizing for communication, dissemination and exploitation, aimed to enhance impact in the heritage sector and academia (part 2). Part 1: Organisational learning
 In order to facilitate organisational learning and to give heritage partners control over the process of impact making, Team-Based Inquiry (TBI) will be used. This is a cyclical process of developing a question, investigating, reflecting on the outcomes and improving the product or process. It is developed specifically for teams that produce audience facing and/or informal learning products. Generic Learning Outcomes will be used to identify informal learning outcomes. This framework is developed and widely used in the UK heritage sector and identifies five different types of learning outcomes: Knowledge and understanding; Skills; Attitudes and values; Enjoyments, inspiration and creativity; Activity, behaviour, and progression.
 Part 2: Strategy
 Three elements can help enhance the impact of a digital heritage project; clear strategies for communication, which is the sharing of information; dissemination, the sharing of outcomes; and exploitation, using the outcomes in the economic, scientific, societal or political realm. For each of these three elements, guidelines as to what a strategy should consist of, as well as which data to collect in order to measure the created impact, are provided in part 2. It uses the guidance from the first two phases of the UK based Let’s Get Real project and the Europeana Impact Playbook for Museums, Libraries, Archives and Galleries.

description: The Developmental Network Questionnaire (DNQ) is used in business to self-assess relationships with developers, or people who support one’s career. The Mentoring Network Questionnaire (MNQ) is an online modification of the DNQ and includes two scales that rate developer’s contributions to career or psychosocial help. The psychometrics of these scales for different populations are unreported. This study analyzed the construct validity and reliability of the two scales measuring support provided by developers of university faculty. Mentors and mentees (G=156) from multiple Southwestern and Mountain West universities rated 741 developers on the MNQ’s five-item career- and psychosocial-support scales. Participants responded on a seven-point scale ranging from “never, not at all” to “to the maximum extent possible.” Multilevel confirmatory factor analysis (MCFA) using Mplus and the multi-level reliability coefficient omega assessed construct validity and internal consistency reliability, respectively. Results supported the validity of two latent constructs of career- and psychosocial support, each measured by the established five-item scale: Comparative fit index (CFI)=.93, Tucker-Lewis Index (TLI)=.91, root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA)=.06, standardized root mean square residual (SRMR): W=.09, B=.10. The measurement model was improved when the “removes barriers” item was removed from the career-support scale (CFI=.96, TLI=.95, RMSEA=.05, SRMR: W=.06 B=.09. Factor loadings at both the within- and between-levels were strong and statistically significant. Reliability omegas ranged from .85 to .92. Career and psychosocial support provided to university faculty by developers in their networks may be validly and reliably measured at both the within- and between-levels by a modified four-item career support scale and the original five-item psychosocial support scale from the DNQ and the modified MNQ. Limitations include reduced statistical power due to small sample size and lack of testing at the university level. Future work will assess the responsiveness of these scales to measuring change over time in the amount of support provided.

Practical Sized Typing for Coq
Creators: name: Chan, Jonathan
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2021

description: Termination of recursive functions and productivity of corecursive functions are important for maintaining logical consistency in proof assistants. However, contemporary proof assistants, such as Coq, rely on syntactic criteria that prevent users from easily writing obviously terminating or productive programs, such as quicksort. This is troublesome, since there exist theories for type-based termination- and productivity-checking. In this paper, we present a design and implementation of sized type checking and inference for Coq. We extend past work on sized types for the Calculus of (Co)Inductive Constructions (CIC) with support for global definitions found in Gallina, and extend the sized-type inference algorithm to support completely unannotated Gallina terms. This allows our design to maintain complete backward compatibility with existing Coq developments. We provide an implementation that extends the Coq kernel with optional support for sized types.

The o- and m-nitrophenol were divided into two parts - one part was control sample, and another part was considered as biofield energy treated sample, which received Mr. Trivedi’s biofield energy treatment (The Trivedi Effect®). The biofield energy treated nitrophenols having analyzed at different time intervals were designated as T1, T2, T3, and T4. The GC-MS analysis of both the control and biofield treated samples indicated the presence of the parent molecular ion peak of o- and m-nitrophenol (C6H5NO3+) at m/z 139 along with major fragmentation peaks at m/z 122, 109, 93, 81, 65, and 39. The relative peak intensities of the fragmented ions in the biofield treated o- and m-nitrophenol were notably changed as compared to the control sample with respect to the time. The isotopic abundance ratio analysis using GC-MS revealed that the isotopic abundance ratio of PM+1/PM in the biofield energy treated o-nitrophenol at T2 and T3 was significantly increased by 14.48 and 86.49%, respectively as compared to the control sample. Consequently, the isotopic abundance ratio of PM+2/PM in the biofield energy treated sample at T2 and T3 was increased by 11.36, and 82.95%, respectively as compared to the control sample. Similarly, in m-nitrophenol, the isotopic abundance ratio of PM+1/PM in the biofield energy treated sample at T1, T3, and T4 was increased by 5.82, 5.09, and 6.40%, respectively as compared to the control sample. Subsequently, the isotopic abundance ratio of PM+2/PM at T1, T2, T3 and T4 in the biofield energy treated m-nitrophenol was increased by 6.33, 3.80, 16.46, and 16.46%, respectively as compared to the control sample. Overall, the isotopic abundance ratios of PM+1/PM (2H/1H or 13C/12C or 15N/14N or 17O/16O), and PM+2/PM (18O/16O) were altered in the biofield energy treated o- and m-nitrophenol as compared to the control increased in most of the cases. The biofield treated o- and m-nitrophenol that have improved isotopic abundance ratios might have altered the physicochemical properties and could be useful in pharmaceutical and chemical industries as an intermediate in the manufacturing of pharmaceuticals and other useful chemicals for the industrial application.

description: The use of interactive voice assistants (IVAs) in healthcare provides an avenue to address diverse health needs, such as gaps in the medical recovery period for older adult patients who have recently experienced serious illness. By using a voice-assisted medical recovery curriculum, discharged patients can receive ongoing support as they recover. However, there exist significant medical and technology disparities among older adults, particularly among Black older adults. We recruited 26 Black older adults to participate in the design process of an IVA-enacted medical recovery curriculum by providing feedback during the early stages of design. Lack of cultural relevancy, accountability, privacy concerns, and stigmas associated with aging and disability made participants reluctant to engage with the technology unless in a position of extreme need. This study underscored the need for Black cultural representation, whether it regarded the IVA's accent, the types of media featured, or race-specific medical advice, and the need for strategies to address participants' concerns and stigmas. Participants saw the value in the curriculum for those who did not have caregivers and deliberated about the trade-offs the technology presented. We discuss tensions surrounding inclusion and representation and conclude by showing how we enacted the lessons from this study in future design plans.

description: Although the advantages of developmental networks are well-known, most faculty do not know how to participate in such networks actively. Additionally, institutions face challenges in teaching faculty the best practices of networking. This deficiency constitutes a critical gap in the literature, which may slow career advancement for faculty, particularly from underrepresented groups. The study’s purpose was to examine the effectiveness of a curriculum-based faculty training in developmental networks, utilizing the Extension for Community Health Outcomes (ECHO) platform. In this pre-post study, 33 faculty members participated in the intervention utilizing eight modules involving four competencies. Each module followed a standard format, including a short didactic, two facilitated case study discussions based on real-life scenarios, and self-reading of selected literature. Outcomes included (i) change in knowledge scores obtained from two questions per module and (ii) self-efficacy scores measured on a scale of 0–100. Paired student’s t-test and mixed model regression analyses were used. A significant increase in knowledge score was documented using mixed model regression for 4 of the eight modules (mean change score 0.4–0.8, p?0.03 for all analyses). The proportion of faculty participants reporting correct knowledge items for all modules increased from 49.8% (pre) to 64.3% (post), which was statistically significant (p<0.001). Significant increases in paired self-efficacy scores were reported for each of the eight modules (mean change score 17–37, p<0.05 for all analyses). This study highlights the importance of curriculum-based training in networking. Participants showed a significant increase in pre-post networking self-efficacy and knowledge scores. Our ECHO-based curriculum, facilitator training, and manual enable easy implementation in other institutions, ensuring scalability and adaptability. Our analysis provides the evidence basis for examining the impact of a developmental network intervention in enhancing individual career networks.

description: Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have produced many single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) significantly associated with coronary artery disease (CAD) in humans. The variant rs10139550 is a CAD-associated SNP within the HHIPL1 gene. HHIPL1 (hedgehog interacting protein-like 1) is an uncharacterised protein that has homology with the hedgehog (HH) antagonist Hedgehog Interacting Protein (HHIP). This thesis aimed to characterise HHIPL1 within HH signalling pathway. This thesis also aimed to identify causal variants in HHIPL1 and link them to human smooth muscle cell phenotypes. This is based on previous work in the same laboratory using murine models that linked HHIPL1, smooth muscle cell phenotypes, and CAD. A luciferase assay linked to GLI protein expression in murine Shh-LIGHT2 cells determined the function of HHIPL1 in HH signalling. GLI proteins are transcription factors in the HH pathway. In silico analysis and co-immunoprecipitation studies examined HHIPL1 binding to the HH ligand, sonic hedgehog (SHH). An association study determined if the lead SNP rs10139550 and SNPs in a 100kb area surrounding this variant were significantly associated with human umbilical artery smooth muscle cell phenotypes. Expression analysis determined if there was any link between HHIPL1 variants and altered expression of HHIPL1. Results of binding studies were suggestive of HHIPL1 binding to SHH. HHIPL1 was found to be a positive modulator of full-length SHH, but a negative modulator with the biologically active SHH-N. No variants were found to be in genome-wide significance with the smooth muscle cell phenotypes studied. One variant was significant at an analysis-wide threshold, but was deemed a false positive. Expression analysis showed no significant difference in HHIPL1 expression. This study characterises a novel modulator in hedgehog signalling and informs future investigation to further define HHIPL1 binding partners and dynamics, and causal variants in coronary artery disease.
New and Young Farmer Participation in Agricultural Planning in the Township of Langley

description: A farm succession crisis looms due to the ageing farm population, barriers facing emergent farmers, and a lack of succession plans to smoothly transition farms once their operators retire. Additionally, the agricultural sector exhibits a diversity of farm types, practices, markets, and crops, and is simultaneously facing increasing economic, social, and environmental issues. Agricultural planning is a means to address disputes involving agricultural development, farmland protection, and decision-making. Planning may also reconcile the competing interests for access and land base use. It is unclear what avenues exist for emerging farmers to contribute to this political process. To explain the practices employed in the Township of Langley that influence farmer participation levels, this study addressed the following: How are new and young farmers engaging in the agricultural planning process? What factors influence farmer participation? A case study methodology was employed, utilizing interviews with seven farms, a farm practices survey, and a document review. Analysis determined that farmers are contributing to agricultural planning through consultations and informal ways (board members on local nonprofits and farmers groups) that represent lower levels of involvement. Additionally, significant barriers prevented young and new farmer participation, including time constraints, lack of knowledge of how to become involved, and increased effort to find out about engagement processes. Furthermore, new and young farmers are contributing to their local food networks and employing practices aligned with food sovereignty movements. A characterization of policy problems in the Township indicated that more participation is required then currently employed. In order to increase participation, policy makers and planners in the Township must first increase communication flows in order to build trust with farmers.
