Year: 2018

description: September 2011. Ein Hauch von Moderne fegt durch die Altstadt Hanois. In der Duong Thanh Straße malen Neonscheinwerfer bunte Licht kreise auf Häuserfassaden. Durch die schmalen Gassen schallt ohrenbetäubende Technomusik. Viele Anwohner und Schaulustige sind gekommen, um das Spektakel mit eigenen Augen zu sehen. Dort, wo bisher das Gebäude des Hang Da Markts stand, steht nun in pinkfarbenen Leuchtbuchstaben Hang Da Galleria. Aus einem traditionellen Markt ist innerhalb von zwei Jahren eine 17.530 Quadratmeter große, fünfstöckige Shoppingmall geworden. Das gesamte Viertel ist auf den Beinen, um an der Eröffnungsparty teilzunehmen oder zumindest einen Blick zu erhaschen auf die überdimensionalen Modeplakate und bunten Werbebanner. Statt Blumen, Obst und Gemüse sollen nun überwiegend Kleider von der Stange verkauft werden. Internationale Marken wie French Connection, Naf Naf und Birken stock werden hier ihre Geschäfte eröffnen. Eine Moderatorin im knappen Minikleid führt durch die Modenschau, die vor der Galleria unter freiem Himmel stattfindet. Models, deren Haut elfenbeinfarben gebleicht ist, präsentieren mehr oder weniger gekonnt die neuesten Kollektionen. Das alles soll die konsumfreudige Mittel- und Oberschicht Hanois in die Galleria locken und der Stadt außerdem ein modernes Image verleihen.

description: Introduction
Evidence-based assessment is an elemental part of evidence-based treatments for drug use disorders, but recommendations are ambiguous and there is no scoping review or systematic review collecting the different monitoring systems for drug use disorders and assessing their contribution to evidence-based practice. Due to the current state of the evidence, we want to conduct a scoping review to shed light on the current state of data collection in routine drug interventions and identify areas for potential improvement.
Methods and Analysis
We will conduct the Scoping Review according to Peters et al., (2021) guidelines and apply the recommendations of the PRISMA extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) (Tricco et al., 2018). Documents will be searched in health-related databases and different evidence-based repositories. Grey literature sources including government/peak body websites will be also included. Keywords such as “Monitoring System” or “Patient Outcome Assessment" will be used.
Data such as the variables and methodology to assess those variables or the alignment with the different frameworks will be included.
Ethics and Dissemination
The application of eligibility and data extraction criteria will be done in pairs.

description: Background: Multiple prokaryotic lineages use the arginine deiminase (ADI) pathway for anaerobic energy production by arginine degradation. The distribution of this pathway among eukaryotes has been thought to be very limited, with only two specialized groups living in low oxygen environments (Parabasalia and Diplomonadida) known to possess the complete set of all three enzymes. We have performed an extensive survey of available sequence data in order to map the distribution of these enzymes among eukaryotes and to reconstruct their phylogenies. Results: We have found genes for the complete pathway in almost all examined representatives of Metamonada, the anaerobic protist group that includes parabasalids and diplomonads. Phylogenetic analyses indicate the presence of the complete pathway in the last common ancestor of metamonads and heterologous transformation experiments suggest its cytosolic localization in the metamonad ancestor. Outside Metamonada, the complete pathway occurs rarely, nevertheless, it was found in representatives of most major eukaryotic clades. Conclusions: Phylogenetic relationships of complete pathways are consistent with the presence of the Archaea-derived ADI pathway in the last common ancestor of all eukaryotes, although other evolutionary scenarios remain possible. The presence of the incomplete set of enzymes is relatively common among eukaryotes and it may be related to the fact that these enzymes are involved in other cellular processes, such as the ornithine-urea cycle. Single protein phylogenies suggest that the evolutionary history of all three enzymes has been shaped by frequent gene losses and horizontal transfers, which may sometimes be connected with their diverse roles in cellular metabolism.

description: Stadtentwicklung ist im Transformationsland Vietnam ein vieldiskutiertes Thema und oft heftig umstritten. Für vietnamesische StadtbewohnerInnen haben neben Sicherheitsaspekten Fragen des Land- und Wohnungsrechtes höchste Priorität in ihrer alltäglichen Lebenswelt. Während Aushandlungsprozesse im Kontext von Stadtentwicklung lange Zeit hauptsächlich von Einzelpersonen vorangetrieben wurden, ist in jüngerer Zeit eine neue Qualität des Protestes festzustellen: Individuen schließen sich zunehmend kollektiv in Gruppen zusammen, um ihren Anliegen auch öffentlich mehr Gewicht zu verleihen.

The failure of professional self-regulation: the example of the UK veterinary profession
Creators: name: Blass, Eddie
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This paper argues the case for professional bodies to lose their right to self-regulate wholly within their membership. Using the example of an analysis of six cases that were reported to the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS) as cases of false certification in the last 3 years, this paper demonstrates that self-regulation allows moral integrity to be sacrificed at the expense of economic imperatives, and individual judgements to be preferenced over fair process and procedure. Five of the six cases presented in this paper were upheld by the professional body and the sixth was dismissed and went through the British legal system instead. Narrative analysis of the case reports reveals a lack of consistency in the professional body's analysis of motive, causal connections, responsibility regarding implications and their role as either purveyor of standards or mentor to the profession, which has resulted in anomalies that leave the profession in disarray. By failing to act 'professionally' itself, this paper argues that the RCVS itself has undermined five of its own ten guiding principles, and hence can no longer regulate its own membership. The need for professional regulation beyond those provided by the professions themselves is presented if only by the inclusion of laY'people in professional diSCiplinary hearings.

description: Aim: A BIOPIGEE OneHealth EJP expert group aimed to clarify the term "biosecurity measure" (BSM) for swine farms. Methods: I) In- and exclusion-criteria related to biosecurity applied in over 5 BIOPIGEE task groups were collected, discussed, and relevant criteria were summarized. II) A literature scoping review with the search terms "biosecurity measures" AND (swine OR pig) in titles, abstracts, or keywords using Scopus, Pubmed, Web of Science, and Google Scholar databases was conducted. On the final record subset, we performed R- based bibliometric analysis. Finally, the first hundred terms with the highest occurrence frequency were used to perform a hierarchical clustering analysis. Results:  The scoping review did not reveal a clear definition for BSM, and six specific research themes were identified. Based on these results, in combination with the relevant in- and exclusion-criteria we propose a preliminary definition for the term BSM: "A BSM – is the implementation of a segregation, hygiene, or management procedure (excluding medically effective feed additives and preventive/curative treatment of animals) that specifically aims at reducing the probability of the spread of any potential pathogen to, within, or from a pig farm or geographical area." Conclusions: While "biosecurity" for swine operations is well defined, a harmonized definition of BSM has been lacking. The proposed preliminary definition provides a basis for clear communication of BSM within and among BIOPIGEE task groups and will improve communication of scientific results to the public and thus improve the understanding, acceptance, and implementation of BSM from the farm to the policy level.

description: introduction Dengue is most important rapidly growing arboviral disease of public health concern. This study aims to detect the dengue prevalence and transmission at urban dengue mortality areas in Kuala Lumpur based on the major breeding sources and abundance of Aedes mosquitoes. Methodology Entomological assessments were done in the year of 2017 at dengue mortality areas in Kuala Lumpur. The assessment data was analyzed in terms of various entomological indices; House Index (HI), Container Index (CI), Breteau Index(BI), and Pupae Index (PI), Pupae Per Container (PPC) and Pupae Per Positive Container (PPPC) and Adult Premise Index (API). Results Results of other indices; The Pupae Per Container (PPC) and Pupae Per Positive Container (PPPC) varied from 0.00 – 0.33 and 0.00 – 5.50 respectively. The Container Positivity varied from 0.45 (vase pedestal) to 25.00 (plastic container). The Adult Premise Index (API) showed variation from 1.50 – 17.20. Aedes albopictus was the most abundantly recorded from the study areas. Discussion / Conclusion Due to the availability of various breeding sources, larval and adult stages, there are high risk for occurrence of dengue infection and progress of outbreak. Thus, community awareness should be strengthened by focusing on source reduction to eliminate main breeding sources including all the aquatic stages of mosquitoes to which the chances of dengue outbreaks can be reduced.

Deep learning for fast and robust medical image reconstruction and analysis
Creators: name: Schlemper, Jo
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2019

description: Medical imaging is an indispensable component of modern medical research as well as clinical practice. Nevertheless, imaging techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computational tomography (CT) are costly and are less accessible to the majority of the world. To make medical devices more accessible, affordable and efficient, it is crucial to re-calibrate our current imaging paradigm for smarter imaging. In particular, as medical imaging techniques have highly structured forms in the way they acquire data, they provide us with an opportunity to optimise the imaging techniques holistically by leveraging data. The central theme of this thesis is to explore different opportunities where we can exploit data and deep learning to improve the way we extract information for better, faster and smarter imaging. This thesis explores three distinct problems. The first problem is the time-consuming nature of dynamic MR data acquisition and reconstruction. We propose deep learning methods for accelerated dynamic MR image reconstruction, resulting in up to 10-fold reduction in imaging time. The second problem is the redundancy in our current imaging pipeline. Traditionally, imaging pipeline treated acquisition, reconstruction and analysis as separate steps. However, we argue that one can approach them holistically and optimise the entire pipeline jointly for a specific target goal. To this end, we propose deep learning approaches for obtaining high fidelity cardiac MR segmentation directly from significantly undersampled data, greatly exceeding the undersampling limit for image reconstruction. The final part of this thesis tackles the problem of interpretability of the deep learning algorithms. We propose attention-models that can implicitly focus on salient regions in an image to improve accuracy for ultrasound scan plane detection and CT segmentation. More crucially, these models can provide explainability, which is a crucial stepping stone for the harmonisation of smart imaging and current clinical practice.

description: This paper proposes a language-level modeling approach for High-Level Synthesis based on the state-of-the-art Transformer architecture. Our approach estimates the performance and required resources of HLS applications directly from the source code when different synthesis directives, in terms of HLS #pragmas, are applied. Results show that the proposed architecture achieves 96.02% accuracy for predicting the feasibility class of applications and an average of 0.95 and 0.91 R^2 scores for predicting the actual performance and required resources, respectively.

description: Background: Acute kidney injury and hyperchloremia are commonly present in critically ill septic patients. Our study goal was to evaluate the association of hyperchloremia and acute kidney injury in severe sepsis and septic shock patients. Methods: In this retrospective cohort study in a provincial tertiary care hospital, adult patients with severe sepsis or septic shock and serum chloride measurements were included. Serum chloride was measured on a daily basis for 48 hours. Primary outcome was development of acute kidney injury (AKI) and association of AKI and serum chloride parameters was analyzed. Results: A total of 240 patients were included in the study, 98 patients (40.8 %) had hyperchloremia. The incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) was significantly higher in the hyperchloremia group (85.7 % vs 47.9 %; p < 0.001). Maximal chloride concentration in the first 48 hours ([Cl-]max) was significantly associated with AKI. In multivariate analysis, [Cl-]max was independently associated with AKI [adjusted odds ratio (OR) for AKI = 1.28 (1.02–1.62); p = 0.037]. The increase in serum chloride (Δ[Cl-] = [Cl-]max – initial chloride concentration) demonstrated a dose-dependent relationship with severity of AKI. The mean Δ[Cl-] in patients without AKI was 2.1 mmol/L while in the patients with AKI stage 1, 2 and 3 the mean Δ[Cl-] was 5.1, 5.9 and 6.7 mmol/L, respectively. A moderate increase in serum chloride (Δ[Cl-] ≥ 5 mmol/L) was associated with AKI [OR = 5.70 (3.00–10.82); p < 0.001], even in patients without hyperchloremia [OR = 8.25 (3.44–19.78); p < 0.001]. Conclusions: Hyperchloremia is common in severe sepsis and septic shock and independently associated with AKI. A moderate increase in serum chloride (Δ[Cl-] ≥5 mmol/L) is associated with AKI even in patients without hyperchloremia.

description: Background: Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) allows for non-invasive assessment of obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) beyond measures of stenosis severity alone. This assessment includes atherosclerotic plaque characteristics (APCs) and calculation of fractional flow reserve (FFR) from CCTA (FFRCT). Similarly, stress imaging by myocardial perfusion scintigraphy (MPS) provides vital information. To date, the diagnostic performance of integrated CCTA assessment versus integrated MPS assessment for diagnosis of vessel-specific ischemia remains underexplored. Methods: CREDENCE will enroll adult individuals with symptoms suspicious of CAD referred for non-emergent invasive coronary angiography (ICA), but without known CAD. All participants will undergo CCTA, MPS, ICA and FFR. FFR will be performed for lesions identified at the time of ICA to be ≥40 and <90 % stenosis, or those clinically indicated for evaluation. Study analyses will focus on diagnostic performance of CCTA versus MPS against invasive FFR reference standard. An integrated stenosis-APC-FFRCT metric by CCTA for vessel-specific ischemia will be developed from derivation cohort and tested against a validation cohort. Similarly, integrated metric by MPS for vessel-specific ischemia will be developed, validated and compared. An FFR value of ≤0.80 will be considered as ischemia causing. The primary endpoint will be the diagnostic accuracy of vessel territory-specific ischemia of integrated stenosis-APC-FFRCT measure by CCTA, compared with perfusion or perfusion–myocardial blood flow stress imaging testing, against invasive FFR. Discussion: CREDENCE will determine the performance of integrated CCTA metric compared to integrated MPS measure for diagnosis of vessel-specific ischemia. If proven successful, this study may reduce the number of missed diagnoses and help to optimally predict ischemia-causing lesions.

Materials and Methods This study is part of the Spread of COVID-19 Pandemic in Malaysia study (NMRR-20-720- 54598). Data was extracted from the relevant COVID19 Outbreak Investigation Format from the District Health Offices in Kuala Muda District, Kedah and Petaling District, Selangor. The source of infection, number of positive cases and time taken for the cluster to end were identified. Results The index case of this local transmission of COVID-19, was the first Malaysian imported case. The source of infection for this case was the hotel-linked cluster in Singapore. 3 Only 2 cases found as positive in this first local transmission cluster. A total of 48 close contacts were traced; 12 and 36 close contacts from the first and second cases respectively, and all were tested negatives. The cluster ended on 22 February 2020. Discussion / Conclusion COVID-19 spread rapidly from symptomatic and asymptomatic individuals through droplets. Close contacts from inter-state movement and public/family gathering were identified as the source of transmission. Family gathering as a source of COVID-19 transmission also reported in China. Family or public gathering during festival or religious event should be prohibited or controlled in COVID-19 prevalent areas. • Detail description of this first local cluster was published recently.

Development of diode pumped Alexandrite lasers
Creators: name: Sheng, Xin
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2019

description: This thesis is focused on the development of diode-pumped Alexandrite lasers, especially in terms of understanding and optimizing their performance. Alexandrite possesses excellent physical properties and broad wavelength tunability (701-858 nm). Diode pumping of Alexandrite is a promising route to construct simple, compact and low-cost laser systems, which can enable a multitude of precision applications including remote sensing (LIDAR) light sources. This thesis work presents the first demonstration of a Q-switched Alexandrite laser under CW diode pumping. The Q-switched laser was operated with pulse repetition rates up to 10 kHz. Pulses with maximum peak power of 1.19 kW were obtained at 1 kHz repetition rate. By modifying the already Q-switched laser system, a cavity-dumped Q-switched system was developed to generate shorter pulses. Pulses with considerably shorter duration of 2.9 ns and increased pulse energy of 200.8 μJ were produced. These correspond to a peak power of 69.2 kW which is more than 60 times that of the standard Q-switched operation. This thesis also reports the first wavelength-tunable passively Q-switched diode-pumped Alexandrite laser using a semiconductor saturable absorber mirror (SESAM). The Q-switched wavelength tuning was achieved between 775 and 781 nm using a birefringent plate. Highly stable pulses with 73 mW average power, 6.9 μs pulse duration and 11.2 kHz repetition rate were obtained in fundamental TEM00 mode with excellent spatial quality (M2 < 1.1). Lastly, the first single-longitudinal-mode (SLM) operation of a CW Alexandrite ring laser under diode pumping was presented in this work. An ultra-compact bow-tie ring cavity with astigmatic compensation was developed. The unidirectional operation of the ring laser was realized using an optical diode consisting of a Faraday rotator and a half-wave plate, which resulted in the SLM output with power >1 W in TEM00 mode. The wavelength was tuned between 727 and 792 nm. These successful pulsed and continuous-wave operations promote the prospect of diode-pumped Alexandrite lasers in light source applications.

description: introduction Globally, over 2 million population have been affected by the COVID-19 outbreak and over five thousand in Malaysia, with almost 100 deaths as of 22 April 2020. Knowledge on the incubation period (IP) of COVID-19 is scarce due to the novelty of the virus. The aim of this study was to determine the IP of COVID-19 infection in the district of Petaling, Selangor, Malaysia. Materials and Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted between 3 February 2020 and 13 April 2020 by using secondary data from the Petaling District Health Office. The IP was classified as the time elapsed between exposure to a confirmed case and the date of onset of symptoms. The Kruskal-Wallis test was performed to compare the differences of IP between the groups. Results A total of 219 cases were included in this study. Four main clusters were identified; corporate (n=44, 20·1%), religious (n=43, 19·6%), imported (n=74, 33·8%) and others (n=58, 26·5%). The median IP of COVID-19 among the cases was 5·0 days (interquartile range 3·0-8·0). The longest median IP was found in religious cluster (8·0 days, IQR 4·0-11·0), while the shortest median was corporate cluster (3·5 days, IQR 3·0-6·8). Significant difference was observed between corporate and religious clusters (p=0·001) (Table 1). Discussion / Conclusion The median IP of COVID-19 of 5 days is within the range of IP estimated by the World Health Organization. A higher infecting dose as well as higher virulence of the strain could possibly lead to a shorter IP. Based on the longest median incubation period in our study (cluster religious), medical observation or quarantine period should be of a minimum of 8 days to halt the spread of disease. Therefore, our recommendation is to maintain current practice of quarantine of 14 days which will suffice to curb the spread of disease.

description: Introduction Immigrants from tuberculosis (TB) endemic countries hold significant incident for TB cases in Malaysia. Duration of residence in the host country is one of the factors influencing the risk of TB infection or TB reactivation among immigrants. Method Data were retrieved from Tuberculosis Information System (TBIS) from 2013-2018. Only new positive TB cases were selected in this study. The duration of residence was categorized into three; less than a year, 1-10 years and more than 10 years. A chi-square test was performed to search for an association between duration of residence and TB diagnosis using SPSS Version 21. Results There was a total of 3838 new positive cases of TB among immigrants, of whom the majority were males (64%, n=2475), with mean age of 32.94 ± 11.66 and mainly from Indonesia (45.1%, n=1731) followed by Myanmar (19.6%, n=751) and Nepal (8.9%, n=340). Most cases were detected during immigrants’ duration of residence of 1- 10 years (64.3%, n= 2466) followed by less than a year (24.8%, n= 953) and more than 10 years (10.9%, n=419). A chi-square test of independence showed that there was a significant association between duration of residence and TB diagnosis among immigrants in Malaysia, (X2 = 18.4, p < 0.01). Conclusion Immigrants may be exposed to a wide range of risk to get TB infection or reactivation of TB during the period of residence. TST and IGRA are always recommended to increase the chances for TB detection, especially in latent TB infection among immigrants.

The influence of the board of directors on corporate entrepreneurship: a study of Australian commercial banks
Creators: name: Spring, Stephen Francis

description: Corporate entrepreneurship, the establishment of new businesses or the renewal of existing ones by an organisation, is increasingly recognised as necessary for a company’s ongoing competitiveness and growth. There are many factors that are likely to influence a company’s commitment to corporate entrepreneurship that are worthy of research. Of these, one that is likely to have significant impact is the role of the board of directors. This leads to the research question 'How does a board of directors influence a company’s corporate entrepreneurship?' This question is addressed in two stages. Firstly, the mechanisms through which boards influence corporate strategy are explored by addressing the question 'How does a board of directors influence a company’s corporate strategy?' Second, the answer to this question is used as a starting point for exploring 'How do a board’s characteristics influence its corporate entrepreneurship?' A case study methodology was adopted with a sample comprising directors from purposively selected publicly listed Australian commercial banks. The data comprised interviews with company directors and published material. Interviews were conducted using a standard interview protocol developed from an a priori specification of construct. The interview data was coded and analysed using qualitative data analysis software and then triangulated with the published material to confirm its validity. The research shows that boards play a significant role in a company’s choice of strategy. They appoint a chief executive who has views that are consistent with their own. They provide guidelines to management to assist its development of a strategic plan that they will be willing to approve. They assess the performance of the management team by monitoring the implementation of this plan. As the basis for most board decisions is not codified, they are made on the basis of a board’s shared judgement. Since boards aim to represent shareholders, their objective is that their decisions will reflect the wishes of the company’s shareholders. While this is a practical objective, the data shows that directors are unsure of shareholder priorities. The solution to this dilemma is for boards to assume that if shareholders buy shares in a conservative bank that pays high dividends and seldom innovates, they would like it to remains so. In the particular case of corporate entrepreneurship, a board’s support depends on it having a shared attitude that corporate entrepreneurship is desirable and a shared perception that it is feasible. A shared attitude that corporate entrepreneurship is desirable appears to be a long-term board value. A shared perception that entrepreneurship is feasible appears to be based on the board’s view as to management’s capabilities.

description: Community-based HIV, harm reduction, and addiction research increasingly involve members of affected communities as Peer Research Associates (PRAs)—individuals with common experiences to the participant population (e.g. people who use drugs, people living with HIV [PLHIV]). However, there is a paucity of literature detailing the operationalization of PRA hiring and thus limited understanding regarding how affected communities can be meaningfully involved through low-barrier engagement in paid positions within community-based participatory research (CBPR) projects. We aim to address this gap by describing a low-threshold PRA hiring process. Results In 2012, the BC Centre for Excellence in HIV/AIDS and the Dr. Peter AIDS Foundation collaborated to develop a mixed-method CBPR project evaluating the effectiveness of the Dr. Peter Centre (DPC)—an integrative HIV care facility in Vancouver, Canada. A primary objective of the study was to assess the impact of DPC services among clients who have a history of illicit drug use. In keeping with CBPR principles, affected populations, community-based organizations, and key stakeholders guided the development and dissemination of a low-barrier PRA hiring process to meaningfully engage affected communities (e.g. PLHIV who have a history of illicit drug use) in all aspects of the research project. The hiring model was implemented in a number of stages, including (1) the establishment of a hiring team; (2) the development and dissemination of the job posting; (3) interviewing applicants; and (4) the selection of participants. The hiring model presented in this paper demonstrates the benefits of hiring vulnerable PLHIV who use drugs as PRAs in community-based research. Conclusions The provision of low-barrier access to meaningful research employment described herein attempts to engage affected communities beyond tokenistic involvement in research. Our hiring model was successful at engaging five PRAs over a 2-year period and fostered opportunities for future paid employment or volunteer opportunities through ongoing collaboration between PRAs and a diverse range of stakeholders working in HIV/AIDS and addictions. Additionally, this model has the potential to be used across a range of studies and community-based settings interested in meaningfully engaging communities in all stages of the research process.
