description: Introduction Lumbo-sacral transitional vertebrae (LSTV) are accompanied by changes in soft tissue anatomy. The aim of our retrospective study was to evaluate the effects of LSTV as well as the number of free lumbar vertebrae on surgical approaches of ALIF, OLIF and LLIF at level L4/5. Material and methods We assessed the CTs of 819 patients. Of these, 53 had LSTV from which 11 had six (6LV) and 9 four free lumbar vertebrae (4LV). We matched them for sex and age to a control group. Results Patients with LSTV had a higher iliac crest and vena cava bifurcation, a greater distance between the common iliac veins and an anterior translation of the psoas muscle at level L4/5. In contrast, patients with 6LV had a lower iliac crest and aortic bifurcation, no differences in vena cava bifurcation and distance between the iliac veins compared to the control group. Conclusions For patients with LSTV and five or four free lumbar vertebrae, the LLIF approach at L4/5 may be hindered due to a high riding iliac crest as well as anterior shift of the psoas muscle. Whereas less mobilization and retraction of the iliac veins may reduce the risk of vascular injury at this segment by ALIF and OLIF. For patients with 6LV, a lower relative height of the iliac crest facilitates lateral approach during LLIF. For ALIF and OLIF, a stronger vessel retraction due to the deeper-seated vascular bifurcation is necessary during ALIF and is therefore potentially at higher risk for vascular injury.

description: Introduction Early diagnosis of periprosthetic hip and knee infection still represents a major challenge, as no single test can achieve ideal results. Currently, multiple preoperative indicators were performed to diagnose periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) to confirm or exclude infection in the early stage. However, the diagnostic value of biopsy-related tests in diagnosing periprosthetic hip and knee infection remains unclear. Materials and methods Publications in PubMed, Embase, and the Web of Science databases were searched systematically until October 2020. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were used for screening biopsy-related studies of the diagnosis of periprosthetic hip and knee infection. Results Three biopsy-related tests were identified in 14 articles and further analyzed in the present meta-analysis. The combined method had the highest value for the area under the curve (0.9805), followed by histology (0.9425) and microbiological tests (0.9292). In the subgroup, statistical differences were identified in sensitivity and specificity for PJI diagnosis between the synovial fluid culture and biopsy culture group, as well as in the biopsy-related combined method and serum C-reactive protein. Conclusions Biopsy culture does not appear to be advantageous compared to synovial fluid culture in the preoperative diagnosis of periprosthetic hip and knee infection. In contrast, combined biopsy microbial culture with histology analysis shows great potential in improving the preoperative diagnosis of PJI. The standard procedure of biopsy needs to be further explored. Further research is required to verify our results.

description: Introduction Mechanical failure of total hip arthroplasties is a rare but devastating complication. With increasing numbers in primary arthroplasty implantation, revision surgeries are indicated more often. Therefore, understanding the mechanism and the location of failure is essential in determining proper treatment. Aim of this study was to identify mechanical failures of all total hip arthroplasties performed in a major academic center as well as the associated risk factors such as BMI and sports. Methods A retrospective trial was conducted using our prospective arthroplasty database. Database was searched for all patients presenting with mechanical failures of total hip arthroplasty (THA) to the emergency department between 2011 and 2019. All medical charts and radiographs as well as surgical reports were analyzed to identify demographics, implant choice in addition to location of failure and subsequent treatment. Results In total, 13 patients suffering from mechanical total hip implant failure were found. The femoral neck (conus) was broken in four patients, the stem in five cases, one broken inlay, two cup failures and one conus dislocation. The mean BMI was 31.42 +/- 5.29 kg/m(2) including five patients who have obesity class II. In all cases, revision surgeries were indicated. No structural causes or underlying risk factors such as repeated physical load (i.e. in sports) were identified. Conclusion Implant failure does not seem to correlate with participation in sports or BMI. Catastrophic failure of implants is a technical challenge requiring special extraction instruments that can be difficult even for experienced surgeons. It should be noted that functional outcome is often worse for this group of patients after surgery than comparing against those revised for loosening.
Unsound foundations: refining AI’s role in audio-based COVID-19 detection
Creators: name: Coppock, Harry
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2023

description: This thesis explores the potential for respiratory audio biomarkers to enable detection of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, with a focus on discerning the true efficacy of Artificial Intelligence (AI) classifiers in this context. The research was motivated by the early pandemic findings suggesting potential vocal biomarkers in COVID-19 infected individuals and the subsequent surge in studies utilising Machine Learning (ML) methodologies for infection detection. Early results raised concerns about whether the success of the ML models was due to actual respiratory audio biomarkers or to confounding signals in the audio recordings, such as recruitment bias. To address these concerns, a large-scale study was undertaken as part of the UK government’s pandemic response, leading to the collection of The UK COVID Vocal Audio Dataset, comprising 72,999 individuals, including 23,514 with positive reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests for SARS-CoV-2. Unadjusted analysis of this dataset indicated high accuracy (Receiver Operating Characteristic Area Under the Curve (ROC-AUC)=0.846) of AI classifiers in predicting SARS-CoV-2 infection. However, adjusting for measured confounders, such as self-reported symptoms, revealed significantly weaker performance (ROC-AUC=0.619) with a further drop to random classification performance when cases hypothesised to contain unmeasured confounders were removed. A key finding was that, in practical settings, AI classifiers, while initially promising, were outperformed by predictions based on user-reported symptoms. The thesis concludes with the release of the collected dataset and offers best-practice recommendations for future studies, particularly in the handling of recruitment bias and assessment of audio-based classifiers’ utility in relevant practical contexts. This research provides valuable insights into the capabilities and limitations of AI in medical diagnostics and across the wider field of applications, emphasising the importance of careful study design and consideration of confounders in AI-enabled diagnostic tools.

title: The rhythmical development of samba between 1910 and 1940: Transformation of emergence? A reevaluation of the Bantu contribution in the form of timelines as a rhythm concept
Creators: name: De Oliveira, Bosco
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 2006

description: From a history of persecution and repression in the first decades of the 20th century samba became by 1940, the strongest cultural manifestation to represent Brazilian identity. In the space of a mere three decades, this musical form spread from the lower classes and permeated the highest echelons of Brazilian society. Samba, as it is known today in Brazil, inherits its rhythmical shape from the Samba Batucado. What I suggest is that the rhythmic cell that guided Samba during its rise to the position of Brazilian national music did not appear suddenly at the end of the 1920s with the Estácio composers, it already existed in other musical forms, as a creative concept and the Brazilian national style of music was the result of, not a transformation of the first sambas recorded, but in fact, the emergence into commercial popular music of a rhythmical concept which was part of the culture of the disenfranchised ex-slaves and their immediate descendents. I further suggest that this “timeline” is a direct inheritance from the Bantu culture of the Congo/Angolan slaves brought to Brazil, for it is from those areas in Africa that the majority of slaves in the states of Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo and Minas Gerais came from.

title: The Priesthood of Nationalism in Egypt: Duty, Authority, Autonomy
Creators: name: Geer, Benjamin
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 2011

description: This thesis considers the effects of nationalism on the autonomy of intellectuals in Egypt. I argue that nationalism limits intellectuals’ ability to challenge social hierarchies, political authority and economic inequality, and that it has been more readily used to legitimise new forms of domination in competition with old ones. I analyse similarities between religion and nationalism, using the sociological theory of Pierre Bourdieu together with cognitive linguistics. Focusing mainly on the similarities between priests and nationalist intellectuals, and secondarily between prophets and charismatic nationalist political leaders, I show that nationalism and religion are based on relatively similar concepts, which lend themselves to similar strategies for gaining credibility, recognition and moral authority. I present case studies of a few nationalist intellectuals, focusing on ones who advocated views that later became dominant. The translator and teacher Rifa‘a Rafi‘ al-Tahtawi, who was trained as a religious scholar before studying secular subjects in France, brought nationalism to Egypt by blending European nationalist concepts with centuries-old concepts from Islamic religious and literary traditions. In the early 20th century, the nationalism of intellectuals such as Muhammad Husayn Haykal enabled them to compete with men of religion for prestige and political influence, and also served particular class and professional interests. Tawfiq al-Hakim’s concept of the charismatic national leader influenced the young Gamal Abdel Nasser, who became a successful nationalist prophet and military autocrat. Ihsan ‘Abd al-Quddus articulated the concept of the nationalist martyr, who dies for his country; this concept also contributed to Nasser’s charisma. Both al-Hakim and al-Quddus arguably lost autonomy under Nasser’s regime. Al-Hakim was unable to criticise the regime until after Nasser’s death. Al-Quddus was imprisoned and tortured for advocating democracy, then became one of the most fervent supporters of Nasser’s autocracy.

Market-level and firm-level implications of financial distress
Creators: name: Ryabinin, Vitaliy
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2024

description: This thesis consists of three parts, all organized around a unifying theme of financial distress. In the first chapter, titled "The FOMC Announcement Premium Asymmetry", I demonstrate that excess equity returns around Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meetings are concentrated in recessions. On FOMC announcement days, the difference between stock returns in recessions and expansions is 73-119 basis points. The asymmetry remains even after accounting for the elevated volatility in economic downturns. Moreover, the pre-announcement drift and the compensation for bearing risk on announcement days are also characteristics of recessions. The second chapter, "Properties of Financial Texts", documents statistical properties of unstructured data. I find that counts of words, their combinations, and measures constructed from them are often non-stationary. I demonstrate the implications by focusing on an already existing application, predicting equity market returns using a text-based measure of sentiment. Non-stationary behavior results in contradictory findings - both forecast errors and prediction beta are higher in recessions than expansions. Using robust inference methods, I establish that the sentiment's interaction with recessions has been severely overstated, and it does not predict equity returns any better in downturns than upturns. The last part, "Trade Secrets Impairment" (written jointly with A. Michaelides, A. Milidonis, and Y. Wiwattanakantang), is an example of firm-level distress due to intellectual property loss. The market value of trade secrets is estimated using a hand-collected sample of U.S. court cases filed under the Economic Espionage Act. Impaired firms are large, operate in industries commonly associated with the dual-use (military and civilian) technology, have lower leverage, and own high-valued patents. For these companies, a lower bound on the mean trade secret value is approximately 1.5% of the firm's market capitalization, significant both economically and statistically. Following the impairment, victim firms make a high number of relatively low-valued acquisitions.

Este trabajo presenta un prototipo de sistema de teleoperación asistida para cuadricópteros basado en aprendizaje por refuerzo profundo (ARP), diseñado para mejorar la seguridad y eficiencia en entornos complejos o inaccesibles. Utilizando el simulador Webots y algoritmos como PPO, DQN y A2C, se desarrolló un esquema de autonomía compartida donde un agente autónomo (copiloto) complementa las decisiones de un operador humano (piloto). El enfoque incluyó aprendizaje por imitación para replicar trayectorias humanas y la simulación de pilotos subóptimos (lentos o ruidosos) para evaluar la asistencia del sistema.
title: Working for Development? A Study of the Political Economy of Rural Labour Markets in Tanzania
Creators: name: Mueller, Bernd
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 2011

description: The thesis aims to expand economists’ general understanding of rural development by interpreting the formation, expansion and functioning of rural labour markets as being situated at the centre of development. For this, we start by setting up an analytical framework that is rooted in classical political economy and that highlights the importance of socio-economic relations of power and property, processes of socio-economic differentiation, as well as the centrality of gender and intra-household relations as critical parts and complements in any holistic analysis. Through this we explore the deep theoretical links between the labour market and any process of rural development. The principal part of the thesis then goes on to applying this analytical framework using empirical survey data collected in the West Usambara Mountains region in North Tanzania through primary fieldwork in 2008 exploring wider processes of labour market participation and capital accumulation. A major aspect of this research is to compare our results with the influential study by Sender and Smith (1990) conducted in the same region in 1986. Some important results of our study are a relatively clear trend towards production being predominantly governed by wage labour relations, a general increase of economic pressure on people’s land holdings and a resulting process of increased differentiation and separation from the means of subsistence. We furthermore observed – in contrast to Sender and Smith’s conclusions – a tangible reduction of men’s capacity to coercively appropriate women’s labour power within the household, which they diagnosed to be a major impediment towards the greater process of development.
title: Grammatical Contact in the Sahara: Arabic, Berber, and Songhay in Tabelbala and Siwa
Creators: name: Souag, Lameen
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 2010

description: This thesis examines the effects of contact on the grammars of the languages of two Saharan oases, Siwa and Tabelbala. These share similar linguistic ecologies in many respects, and can be regarded as among the most extreme representatives of a language contact situation ongoing for centuries across the oases of the northern Sahara. This work identifies and argues for contact effects across a wide range of core morphology and syntax, using these both to shed new light on regional history and to test claims about the limits on, and expected outcomes of, contact. While reaffirming the ubiquity of pattern copying, the results encourage an expanded understanding of the role of material borrowing in grammatical contact, showing that the borrowing of functional morphemes and of paradigmatic sets of words or phrases containing them can lead to grammatical change. More generally, it confirms the uniformitarian principle that diachronic change arises through the long-term application of processes observable in synchronic language contact situations. The similarity of the sociolinguistic situations provides a close approximation to a natural controlled experiment, allowing us to pinpoint cases where differences in the original structure of the recipient language appear to have influenced its receptivity to external influence in those aspects of structure.

description: For decades, social scientists have debated the nature of inequality in the United States. A false dichotomy of race versus class is a common way of interpreting this. This brief article provides a detailed review of some of the important literature on racial and social class equality, as well as a view of current levels of inequality and the trends exacerbated in the market failure and Great Recession of 2008. Ultimately, this review results in policy recommendations to address the gap, and challenges the claims that the various "markets" in the United States are colorblind.
Challenging Dominant Market Theories in Five Ways
Creators: name: Janoski, Thomas E.
Publisher: name: Committee on Social Theory, University of Kentucky
Year: 2015
Subjects: Social theory

description: In the past 20 years, scholars in anthropology, geography and sociology have been challenging the neo-classical economists view of markets in society. After discussing the aforementioned disciplines dissatisfaction with overreliance on rational and efficient markets, this paper presents five arguments against the economic view of markets while accepting the continued use of markets. The five arguments are: (1) the Marxian approach to markets and crises along with the Hyman Minsky approach of increasing cyclical pressure to take risks, (2) the rise of Karl Polanyi’s view that markets are fragile and that they need the state to embed them; (3) organizational scholars including Neil Fligstein focusing on organizations creating a ‘conception of control’ whereby the market is shaped by their elite interests; (4) a complex decision-making approach starting with Max Weber’s view of social action being based on rationalities, traditions and emotions, which is then combined with Edward Fischer’s cultural approach to prices, quality, and the environment; and (5) a macro-application of social exchange theory to unequal bargaining power in the market.

This thesis explores electrodeposition for applying Ni-based catalysts to complex carbon substrates used as porous transport layers in electrode fabrication. This thesis investigates the scaling of pure Ni and NiMo electrodeposition by focusing on the influence of solution pH and plating potentials. The research utilized an in-house-designed flow reactor to scale the electrodeposition, aiming for a uniform Ni deposit. Optimal conditions for uniform Ni deposition on carbon cloth were identified as at a pH of 3.4 and potential of -0.659 V vs. RHE. The study employed surface characterization techniques like SEM and XPS to analyze oxidation states and surface morphology, correlating these findings with the electrodeposition conditions. Research on Ni was extended to NiMo alloys, focusing on the co-deposition characteristics of Mo using complexing agents like Na3C6H5O7. EQCM experiments initially achieved a Mo content of approximately 29 mol%, but this value dropped by over 50% on carbon cloth. To address this, a pulse plating strategy was adopted in the flow reactor, using a 0.2 M NiSO4, 0.12 M Na2MoO4, and 0.25 M Na3C6H8O5 electrolyte at pH 10.5. This method involved an initial plating at -0.74 V vs. RHE for 15 minutes, followed by pulse plating at -1.64 V vs. RHE with a 33% duty cycle, pulsing for 1 second per cycle over 30 minutes, which significantly enhanced the Mo content to over 30 mol%. The evaluation of electrodeposited catalysts in AEM electrolysers demonstrated that the Ni-NiMo cell nearly matched the performance of a Pt-only cell, with only a 10% difference in current density at a cell potential of 1.8 V. The NiMo catalysts showed superior cathodic performance compared to pure Ni.

title: Representative subset selection from RL benchmarks
Creators: name: Devgon, Varun

description: Diese Proof-of-Concept-Forschung zielt darauf ab, repräsentative environments aus mehreren Reinforcement Learning Benchmarks zu identifizieren, um effizientes Multi-Benchmark-Testing zu ermöglichen und damit allgemeinere und robustere Reinforcement Learning Algorithmen zu entwickeln. Die in dieser Arbeit vorgeschlagene Methodik baut auf den Ideen aus dem Atari-5-Papier auf, um das repräsentativste drei Environment-Subset für einen kombinierten Benchmark von 38 environments zu bestimmen, die 26 Atari100k environments und 12 DeepMind Control environments umfasst. Dies wird durch eine neue Normalisierungstechnik erreicht, die die Leistung eines zufälligen Agenten als Basislinie und den score eines PPO-Agenten bei Konvergenz als Referenz verwendet, gefolgt von einer logarithmischen Transformation. Dies geschieht, um die algorithm scores über verschiedene Benchmarks vergleichbar zu machen. Anschließend werden lineare Regressionsmodelle aus den Benchmark-Teilsets erstellt, um die gewichteten Medianscores des vollständigen Benchmarks über alle Algorithmen vorherzusagen. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die drei environments - Ms. Pacman, Ball in Cup Catch und Pendulum Swingup - erfolgreich die Medianscores der Algorithmen mit einem relativen Fehler von nur 6.59% vorhersagen, bei nur 7.9% der Rechenkosten im Vergleich zum vollständigen Benchmark von 38 environments.
description: This proof of concept research aims to identify representative environments from multiple Reinforcement Learning benchmarks, enabling efficient multi-benchmark testing to develop more generalizable and robust Reinforcement Learning algorithms. The methodology proposed in this thesis builds upon the ideas presented in the Atari-5 paper to determine the most representative three environment subset for a combined benchmark of 38 environments, which includes 26 Atari100k environments and 12 DeepMind Control environments. This is achieved using a new normalization technique that uses the performance of a random agent as a baseline and a PPO agent's score at convergence as a reference, followed by a log transformation. This is performed to make the algorithm scores across different benchmarks comparable. Linear regression models from benchmark subsets are then created to predict full benchmark weighted median scores across all algorithms. The results reveal that the three environments Ms. Pacman, Ball in Cup Catch, and Pendulum Swingup, successfully predict algorithm median scores with a relative error of only 6.59% at only 7.9% of computational costs compared to the full benchmark of 38 environments.
