description: Objectives: The objective of this systematic review was to determine what impact governance principles and guidelines have had on sport organisations’ governance practices and performance. Methods: Following the PRISMA, PIECES and Warwick protocols, we conducted a search of academic, grey literature and theses in sport and broader social sciences and humanities databases. We excluded studies that only proposed governance principles and did not actually measure their use by sport organisations, as well as those studies which did not consider the governance principles in relation to organisational performance. Results: From the initial 2,155 studies reviewed, 19 met the inclusion criteria. A wide range of governance principles or guidelines have been considered by the relatively small number of studies included in the analysis. We did find a variety of researchers from mainly developed countries examining the issue, often using case studies as a means to explore the topic. Although the link between board structure and organisational performance has been empirically found, the link between other governance principles and organisational performance remains lacking. Conclusions: Despite an increased interest in good governance principles and guidelines in sport, there is a clear need for both the international sport community and researchers to develop an agreed set of governance principles and language relevant for international, national, provincial/state and local level sport governance organisations. The multidimensionality of the concepts of governance and organisational performance, as well as their interrelationship and the potential positive and negative impacts of implementing governance principles render this need all the more critical.

description: Background-Cognitive impairment may increase the risk of all-cause and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality. This study examined the association between cognitive function and risk of all-cause and CVD mortality among the elderly in Beijing, China. Methods and Results-A total of 1996 participants aged ≥55 years at baseline were enrolled from the BLSA (Beijing Longitudinal Study of Aging). Cognitive function was assessed using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), and participants were categorized as: <18, 18 to 23, 24 to 27, and 28 to 30. Cox proportional hazard models were used to estimate the association. Hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were reported. During a 20-year follow-up, 1122 (56.21%) participants died, 478 (42.60%) of whom died of CVD. Compared with MMSE scores of 28 to 30, participants with MMSE scores of <18 were independently associated with all-cause mortality (hazard ratio, 2.14; 95% confidence interval, 1.59-2.87; P<0.001) and CVD mortality (hazard ratio, 4.52; 95% confidence interval, 2.80-7.30, P<0.001). Each 5-point decrease in MMSE score was associated with a 34% increased risk of all-cause mortality and a 56% increased risk of CVD mortality. This relationship remained statistically significant after using the competing risk model to consider non-CVD death as a competing risk event. Conclusion-Cognitive impairment measured by MMSE score was associated with elevated risk of all-cause and CVD mortality among the elderly in Beijing, China.

description: Objective: To describe, from the perspectives of health professionals, the health education currently being provided from hospital admission to discharge to home to patients who present with acute coronary syndrome who also have type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods: A qualitative study using semistructured interviews was undertaken in the coronary care unit (CCU) of a major hospital in Shanghai, China. Fifteen health professionals (nine registered nurses and six physicians) from the CCU who delivered health education to patients with acute coronary syndrome and T2DM participated. Participants also completed an Education Content Checklist containing topics consistent with existing national guidelines. Findings: Major themes identified included: health education is an essential embedded component of treatment; health education comprises varied strategies to facilitate behavioural change; and barriers and required resources to deliver effective health education. Conclusions: Surviving the initial symptoms and providing immediate treatment is the first step in recovery for patients with acute coronary syndrome and T2DM. Health education is an essential component of the management of these patients, and content and focus that is responsive to the recovery stage of the patient is required. Teaching and supporting strategies appropriate for the inpatient phase prior to discharging to the community phase are required.

description: The fourth biennial groundfish survey of groundfish and invertebrate resources of the Gulf of Alaska (GOA) was conducted during the summer of 2005 by the National Marine Fisheries Service's (NMFS) Alaska Fisheries Science Center (AFSC). Scientists from the Groundfish Assessment Program of AFSC's Resource Assessment and Conservation Engineering (RACE) Division in Seattle, Washington, were responsible for the survey’s design and operations. The biennial regimen extends the series begun in 1984, previously conducted every 3 years between 1984 and 1999, which have provided a time series of distribution, abundance, and biological characteristics of GOA groundfish resources for the purpose of stock assessment and management. In this report, we document the operations and results of the 2005 GOA bottom trawl survey. Results of routine analyses of distribution, relative abundance, size composition, and biological characteristics are shown for the principal groundfish species in each of the five International North Pacific Fisheries Commission (INPFC) statistical areas in the GOA: Shumagin, Chirikof, Kodiak, Yakutat, and Southeastern. These results provide stock assessment scientists and resource managers the most current information to be used for subsequent stock assessments and fishery evaluations. Only the 2005 survey results are presented and no comparisons are made to the results of previous GOA surveys.

description: The green jobfish Aprion virescens (Hawai’i local name, uku) is an economically important component of Hawai’i’s spearfishing, trolling, and deep handline fisheries (largest total poundage landed and third most valuable non-pelagic species). However, stock status of this large-bodied lutjanid has not been determined since 1990 and a primary reason is a lack of life history information (length-at-age, somatic growth, mortality). We examined the otoliths of this potentially long-lived fish to determine the most efficient method for thin-sectioning otoliths for age interpretation. We then developed an ageing criteria based on 1) edge analysis that confirmed the seasonality of annular mark deposition, 2) validation of the location of the first annual mark using daily ring counts and a corresponding distinct growth mark on the dorsal side of the otolith and, 3) a change in the shape of the otolith cross-section that distinguishes young fish from older fish. Bomb radiocarbon analysis and plots of otolith weight and fish length vs. estimated age revealed that the ageing criteria is acceptable and estimates of precision indicate that reproducible age estimates are possible. The ageing criteria (Appendix A) include annotated reference photographs of otolith thin sections to aid future age readers. [

description:
Otolaryngology-head and neck surgery (OHNS) lags behind other surgical subspecialties in the representation of underrepresented minorities in medicine (URMs). Given the recently announced changes to Step 1 scoring, we aimed to assess the effect of alternative application screening methods-Step 2 Clinical Knowledge scores and Alpha Omega Alpha membership-on the racial/ethnic diversity of the OHNS applicant pool. After reviewing OHNS residency applications submitted to our institution for the 2015-2020 matches (N = 2177), we determined that a significantly greater proportion of URM vs non-URM applicants would be screened out from interview consideration if any the following were used as an initial screening method: Step 2 cutoff score of 240, Step 2 cutoff score of 253 or non-Alpha Omega Alpha membership (P < .01 for each). Given that using these metrics to screen applications disproportionately affects URMs, programs should consider implementing alternative application review methods, such as holistic evaluation, which may promote more equitable distribution of interviews.

description: To address the questions of how many brown dwarfs there are in the Milky Way, how do these objects relate to star formation, and whether the brown dwarf formation rate was different in the past, the star-to-brown dwarf number ratio can be considered. While main sequence stars are well known components of the solar neighborhood, lower mass, substellar objects increasingly add to the census of the nearest objects. The sky projection of the known objects at <6.5 pc shows that stars present a uniform distribution and brown dwarfs a non-uniform distribution, with about four times more brown dwarfs behind than ahead of the Sun relative to the direction of rotation of the Galaxy. Assuming that substellar objects distribute uniformly, their observed configuration has a probability of 0.1 %. The helio- and geocentricity of the configuration suggests that it probably results from an observational bias, which if compensated for by future discoveries, would bring the star-to-brown dwarf ratio in agreement with the average ratio found in star forming regions.

description: Identification of pollen vectors is a fundamental objective of pollination biology. The foraging and social behavior of these pollinators has profound effects on plant mating, making quantification of their behavior critical for understanding the ecological and evolutionary consequences of different pollinators for the plants they visit. However, accurate quantification of visitation may be problematic, especially for shy animals and/or when the temporal and spatial scale of observation desired is large. Sophisticated heat- and movement-triggered motion-sensor cameras (“camera trapping”) provide new, underutilized tools to address these challenges. However, to date, there has been no rigorous evaluation of the sampling considerations needed for using camera trapping in pollination research. We measured the effectiveness of camera trapping for identifying vertebrate visitors and quantifying their visitation rates and foraging behavior on Banksia menziesii (Proteaceae). Multiple still cameras (Reconyx HC 500) and a video camera (Little Acorn LTL5210A) were deployed. From 2,753 recorded visits by vertebrates, we identified five species of nectarivorous honeyeater (Meliphagidae) and the honey possum (Tarsipedidae), with significant variation in the species composition of visitors among inflorescences. Species of floral visitor showed significant variation in their time of peak activity, duration of visits, and numbers of flowers probed per visit. Where multiple cameras were deployed on individual inflorescences, effectiveness of individual still cameras varied from 15% to 86% of all recorded visits. Methodological issues and solutions, and the future uses of camera traps in pollination biology, are discussed. Conclusions and wider implications: Motion-triggered cameras are promising tools for the quantification of vertebrate visitation and some aspects of behavior on flowers. However, researchers need to be mindful of the variation in effectiveness of individual camera traps in detecting animals. Pollinator studies using camera traps are in their infancy, and the full potential of this developing technology is yet to be realized.

description: (1) Background: Epithelial–mesenchymal plasticity (EMP) is a dynamic process whereby epithelial carcinoma cells reversibly acquire morphological and invasive characteristics typical of mesenchymal cells. Identifying the methylation differences between epithelial and mesenchymal states may assist in the identification of optimal DNA methylation biomarkers for the blood-based monitoring of cancer. (2) Methods: Methylation-sensitive high-resolution melting (MS-HRM) was used to examine the promoter methylation status of a panel of established and novel markers in a range of breast cancer cell lines spanning the epithelial–mesenchymal spectrum. Pyrosequencing was used to validate the MS-HRM results. (3) Results: VIM, DKK3, and CRABP1 were methylated in the majority of epithelial breast cancer cell lines, while methylation of GRHL2, MIR200C, and CDH1 was restricted to mesenchymal cell lines. Some markers that have been used to assess minimal residual disease such as AKR1B1 and APC methylation proved to be specific for epithelial breast cell lines. However, RASSF1A, RARβ, TWIST1, and SFRP2 methylation was seen in both epithelial and mesenchymal cell lines, supporting their suitability for a multimarker panel. (4) Conclusions: Profiling DNA methylation shows a distinction between epithelial and mesenchymal phenotypes. Understanding how DNA methylation varies between epithelial and mesenchymal phenotypes may lead to more rational selection of methylation-based biomarkers for circulating tumour DNA analysis.

description: Migratory species often roam vast distances bringing them into contact with diverse conditions and threats that could play significant roles in their population dynamics. This is especially true if long-range travels occur within crucial stages of a species’ annual life-cycle. Crested penguins, for example, usually disperse over several hundreds of kilometres after completing the energetically demanding breeding season and in preparation for the costly annual moult. A basic understanding of crested penguins’ pre-moult dispersal is therefore paramount in order to be able to assess factors affecting individual survival. The Fiordland penguin, or Tawaki, the only crested penguin species breeding on the New Zealand mainland, is currently one of the least studied and rarest penguin species in the world. We successfully satellite tracked the pre-moult dispersal of 17 adult Tawaki from a single colony located in the species’ northern breeding distribution. Over the course of 8–10 weeks the penguins travelled up to 2,500 km away from their breeding colony, covering total swimming distances of up to 6,800 km. During outbound travels all penguins headed south-west within a well-defined corridor before branching out towards two general trip destinations. Birds leaving in late November travelled towards the Subtropical Front some 800 km south of Tasmania, whereas penguins that left in December headed further towards the subantarctic front. Using K-select analysis we examined the influence of oceanographic factors on the penguins’ dispersal. Water depth, surface current velocity and sea level anomalies had the greatest influence on penguin movements at the subantarctic Front, while sea surface temperature and chlorophyll a concentration were key for birds travelling to the subtropical front. We discuss our findings in the light of anthropogenic activities (or lack thereof) in the regions visited by the penguins as well as the potential consequences of Tawaki pre-moult dispersal for the species’ breeding distribution on the New Zealand mainland.

description: Despite an established need, there are two remaining roadblocks to building distributed simulations and enterprise simulation systems. First, commercial simulation packages and engineering modeling tools are not readily distributable across multiple computers and have traditionally had very little impetus for utilizing a distributable format. Second, although HLA simulations have been built and there are tools to facilitate those efforts, very little has been done or written that specifically describes a "non-standard" integration implementation in sufficient detail to make the process reusable or repeatable. This thesis introduces a proof of concept prototype that was developed to integrate simulations. The paper presents the objectives of the prototyping effort, how various features of the HLA and RTI were used, the design tradeoffs and technical difficulties encountered during development.
title: Getting In: understandings of potential, talent and ability, and access to HE for Scottish young people from areas of high deprivation
Creators: name: Reid, Catherine
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2024

description: Widening Participation for young people from areas of high deprivation is an ongoing concern for the Scottish government. However, the attainment gap between the least and most affluent young people in Scotland persists. Using the theories of Ziegler and Philipson, Bronfenbrenner and Bourdieu, this research examines how Scottish young people from areas of high deprivation, their teachers, parents, and other key professionals understand potential, talent and ability and the relationship between this understanding and Higher Education choices and experiences. A mixed-methods approach was adopted, using secondary data, survey data and interviews with students (n=26) and adults (n=11). Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyse quantitative data, and reflexive thematic analysis was deployed for interview data.

Secondary and survey data indicated potential barriers to attainment for young people from lower SIMD quintiles. Interview data indicated restrictions on subject and level choice for this group. Survey data indicated similar attitudes to HE between SIMD quintiles across almost all measures. Interview data suggested that SIMD 1 and 2 students tended to see themselves as more committed and passionate students than their more affluent peers. Interviews indicated fractured, unstable, and sometimes self-contradictory understandings of potential, talent and ability amongst students, teachers, parents, SDS workers and WP workers. A range of attitudes was also found towards WP to HE and to HE itself. Survey data and interview data indicated that a surprisingly wide range of students had accessed WP, including students from SIMD quintile 3, 4 and 5. Students’ focus on HE as pleasurable and the purpose of HE contrasted with that of teachers and SDS workers who understood HE as primarily vocational.

This thesis shows that the multiple contradictory and sometimes self-contradictory understandings of potential, talent and ability allow groups and individuals with very different understandings of key concepts to believe they are using shared language to reach a shared goal, while in fact their perceptions, beliefs and aims are very different. This could facilitate the reproduction of existing educational inequity.

description: The rhizosphere, the zone of soil influenced by root secretions and associated microbial activities, plays a crucial role in plant nutrient acquisition. Mineral solubilizing bacteria (MSB) found within this niche can enhance soil nutrient availability, thereby promoting plant growth. This paper describes the development of a mineral solubilizing rhizospheric bacterial consortium (MSRBC) aimed at improving plant health and agricultural productivity through microbial intervention. The process involves isolation, characterization, and functional analysis of bacterial strains, as well as the formulation and application of the consortium in different agricultural settings.

description: © 2018, The Author(s). High magnesium (Mg2+) in some extreme serpentine soils or semi-arid regions is an important factor affecting crop growth and development. Specific loci that form the genetic framework underlying high Mg2+ homeostasis, however, are not well understood. By using GWA mapping on 388 accessions of Arabidopsis thaliana selected from a worldwide collection and genotyped at approximately 250,00 SNPs, we successfully identified 109 and 74 putative genetic regions associated in nutrient traits under normal (1,000 µM) and high Mg2+ (10,000 µM), respectively. Above 90% SNPs associated with nutrients including Mg2+ and only two SNPs shared between normal and high Mg2+. A single strong peak of SNPs associated with Ca concentration corresponding to candidate gene At1g60420 ARABIDOPSIS NUCLEOREDOXIN (AtNRX1) under high Mg2+ was further determined. Compared with wildtype, mutants of Atnrx1-1 and Atnrx1-2 supplied with high Mg2+ had higher Ca concentrations in the plant, and higher cytosolic Ca2+ concentrations during root elongation, as well as higher fresh weight and lateral-root number. This suggests that AtNRX1 was a critical gene negatively regulating Ca uptake under high Mg2+ conditions. The discovery could help to breed/select crops that can adapt to high-Mg2+ soils such as serpentine soils (high ratio of Mg2+: Ca2+) or Mars soil with high levels of magnesium sulfate.

description: Excerpts from the report: Modification and control of the atmosphere in fruit storage plants is a method used increasingly in recent years to hold the condition and extend the storage life of fruit, especially apples. This is in addition to the maintenance of artificially cooled temperatures and high relative humidity, basis requirements for regular cold storage. For apples in CA storage, levels of 2 to 3 percent oxygen and 1 to 7 percent carbon dioxide together with the appropriate minimum temperature, usually 30 to 38 degrees (depending on the variety), and 95 percent relative humidity, are the most satisfactory for minimizing respiration and the ripening process. Each apple variety differs slightly in requirements for oxygen and carbon dioxide, temperature, and relative humidity for optimum results.

INTRODUCTION: We examined the potential impact of COVID-19 on trends in volume sales of non-cigarette combustible and smokeless tobacco products in the United States. AIMS AND METHODS: We analyzed monthly national sales for cigars, smokeless tobacco, pipe, and roll-your-own tobacco during June 2019-June 2021. Data were from the U.S Department of the Treasury. Interrupted time-series were used to measure associations of the COVID-19 "shock" (taken as June 2020 or 6 months after the first diagnosis of COVID-19 in the United States) and volume sales. Negative binomial regression was used to evaluate associations between volume sales and changes in community mobility. RESULTS: Within interrupted time-series analysis, the shock of the COVID-19 pandemic was associated with an initial increase in the number of little cigars sold by 11.43 million sticks (p < .01), with no significant sustained change in trend. The COVID-19 shock was also associated with an initial increase in large cigar volume sales by 59.02 million sticks, followed by a subsequent decrease by 32.57 million sticks per month (p = .005). Every 10% reduction in mobility to retail stores was significantly associated with reduced volume sales of little cigars (IRR = 0.84, 95% CI, 0.71 to 0.98) and large cigars (IRR = 0.92, 95% CI, 0.88 to 0.96). Other findings were statistically nonsignificant. CONCLUSIONS: COVID-19 was associated with increased volume sales for cigars and there was a significant association between reduced mobility to points of sale and reduced cigar volume sales. Intensified efforts are needed to prioritize evidence-based tobacco prevention and control efforts amidst the pandemic.

description: Thin film strain gauges have many applications as transducers for monitoring pressure, vibration, and acceleration. In this thesis, a simple system, consisting of a Nichrome thin film strain gauge deposited on a glass substrate, is investigated in detail. Finite element analysis is used to model the expected sensor behavior. The substrate is shaped to exhibit a constant strain distribution, and is set up in a cantilever beam configuration. R. F. sputtering is used to deposit the Nichrome film, and the resistor pattern is transferred via photolithography. The gravitational force on a mass attached to the free end of the sensor causes the strain gauge resistance to change proportional to the angle of tilt. This change is converted into an electrical signal via a Wheatstone bridge. In the range of 0° to 30° tilt, the experimental results are very close to the modeled predictions. Sources of non-linearity are discussed and conclusions are made.

description: Despite the increasing number of older people, many with cognitive impairment (CI), in hospitals, there is yet to be an evaluation of hospital-wide interventions improving the management of those with CI. In hospitalized patients with CI, there are likely to be associations between increased complications that impact on outcomes, length of stay, and costs. This prospective study will evaluate the effectiveness of an established hospital CI support program on patient outcomes, patient quality of life, staff awareness of CI, and carer satisfaction. Using a stepped-wedge, continuous-recruitment method, the pre-intervention patient data will provide the control data for usual hospital care. The intervention, the Dementia Care in Hospitals Program, provides hospital-wide CI awareness and support education, and screening for all patients aged 65+, along with a bedside alert, the Cognitive Impairment Identifier. The primary outcome is a reduction in hospital-acquired complications: urinary tract infections, pressure injuries, pneumonia and delirium. Secondary outcome measures include cost effectiveness, patient quality of life, carer satisfaction, staff awareness of CI, and staff perceived impact of care. This large-sample study across four sites offers an opportunity for research evaluation of health service functioning at a whole-of-hospital level, which is important for sustainable change in hospital practice.

description: Hand Eczema is one of the most frequent dermatoses with grave consequences for patients as well as society as a whole, potentially leading to impairment or disability to work in many professions. Computer-aided detection of hand eczema could support patients in their decision whether to visit a dermatologist. Moreover, the amount of time a dermatologist has to spend on manually calculating certain scores for eczematous skin is substantial, a process in which a computer-aided system of adequate quality could be of assistance.
Previous work has shown that computer-aided detection of hand eczema from photographies is feasible in principle, but has failed to reach a satisfying quality. An average F1score of 35% with an average accuracy of 80.9% for images of the front side of hands and an average F1score of 25.7% with an average accuracy of 68.3% for back sides is reported.
This thesis investigates several promising approaches to improving classification quality by utilising Support Vector Machines (SVMs). The data provided to the SVM consists of several features extracted from the images, including Texton frequencies, several colour moments and metrics calculated from grey level co-occurrence matrices. To obtain the necessary labels, dermatologists have provided markings of eczematous regions on the hands images. These markings are consolidated into a single consensus diagnosis for each image.
Classification quality is considerably improved compared to previous work. For the best performing experiments, this thesis reports an F1score on front sides of hands of 58.6% with an accuracy of 89.3%, G mean of 74.7%, and an area misclassification error rate of 4.6 percentage points. For back sides of hands, the F1score reached is 44.1% with an accuracy of 88.7%, G mean of 75.6%, and an area misclassification error rate of 7.4 percentage points.

description: Upper tract urothelial carcinoma accounts for 5-10% of all urothelial carcinomas. Due to its lower prevalence, relatively less attention has been given to the study of its pathogenesis. Key clinical and molecular differences with bladder are becoming apparent. We have previously demonstrated dysregulation of the mTOR pathway in bladder carcinoma. In these slides, we present the results of a study aimed to assess the expression of mTOR markers in upper tract urothelial carcinomas. We also aimed to analyze the reciprocal interplay and prognostic significance of mTOR markers. For this purpose, we selected 99 patients with nonmetastatic upper tract urothelial carcinoma, treated by nephroureterectomy. We built 2 tissue microarrays (TMA), assessing the immunohistochemical expression of PTEN, phos-AKT, phos-mTOR, phos-4EBP1, phos-S6, p27, and c-MYC. Follow-up ranged from 3 to 174 months (median, 47 months). We found evidence of dysregulation of the mTOR pathway in upper tract urothelial carcinomas. High pT stage and vascular invasion were associated with tumor progression and cancer-related death. Lymph node metastasis and high WHO grade were also associated with cancer-related death. None of the evaluated biomarkers was associated with tumor progression or cancer-related death.

description: The emergence of pharmacological resistance mechanisms coupled with treatment-related toxicities inherent in conventional chemotherapeutic regimens necessitates the development of next-generation targeted therapeutics with enhanced therapeutic indices. It is anticipated that progress in research will aid in the development of more efficacious management and prevention strategies, thereby potentially reducing the global incidence of Toxoplasmosis. In this study, the viability of a one-step synthesis method for 1-hydroxy-7-azabenzotriazole-cinnamic esters was demonstrated. The conjugation of cinnamic acid with 1-hydroxy-7-azabenzotriazole was investigated with the aim of increasing the utilisation efficiency of cinnamic acid. The structure-activity relationship analysis highlighted that the presence of the 3,4,5-trifluorophenyl group on the aromatic ring of the cinnamic acid component in 3H-[1,2,3]triazolo[4,5-b]pyridin-3-yl (E)-3-(3,4,5-trifluorophenyl)acrylate (12) greatly increased its activity against Toxoplasma gondii. These results imply that 1-hydroxy-7-azabenzotriazole-cinnamic esters hold promise as potent anti-T. gondii agents and merit further exploration.
