description: The research performed in this thesis aims to improve our understanding about one of the most malignant tumors of the human brain – glioma. From the early stages of my career I was confronted with the cruel reality of losing patients due to this devastating disease. The studies performed over the last four years involve extensive data analysis in different clinical and laboratory settings. The direct application of different analysis methods and tools in order to investigate the glioma infiltration delineation has potentially lead to direct applications of our results in the clinical setting. The overall approach of the study is based on three primary outcome measures, i.e., neuronal, electrophysiological and genetic/molecular features for distinguishing infiltrated and non-infiltrated zones within specifically peritumoral tissue (PT) and, more extensively, across the radiologically-defined boundaries of healthy, peritumoral and tumoral tissues. As such, we propose for the first time an objective demarcation and characterization of the PT and we detail how the genetic and epigenetic alterations within the tumoral and peritumoral area are linked with macroscopic functional MRI results. We also describe scale-free features (power law exponent) as well as distinct spectral features and reactivity to external stimulus in the tumoral and adjacent tissue of patients and provide novel insights in terms of glioma’s electrophysiology. The insights gained from these empirical studies further improve our understanding about the pathophysiology of this disease at micro- and macroscopic scales allowing us to envisage novel management methods for patients affected by glioma.

title: ‘Muc Dhearg!’ ors’ ise: Women and Gaelic storytelling in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland c.1850-c.1980
Creators: name: Parker, Isla
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2022

description: This study explores the hitherto under-researched role of women within the Gàidhlig storytelling traditions of the Outer Hebrides of Scotland between c.1850 and c.1980. Drawing upon secondary sources, original audio material, and interviews with former collectors, this study will examine women’s role in and relationship to traditional storytelling events such as the “taigh-cèilidh” and draw attention to the lives and repertoires of eight women storytellers recorded by the School of Scottish Studies (est. 1951) over the time period researched. In so doing, this study demonstrates for the first time the historical importance of women’s participation in Gaelic storytelling practice throughout the Outer Hebrides. Adopting a feminist approach, this study will provide an in-depth analysis of two tales recited by Gaelic women storytellers in the twentieth-century, Peigidh NicDhòmhnaill (Peggy MacDonald) originally from South Uist and Anna NicIain (Annie Johnston) from Barra. Much of the scholarship to date has either omitted or missed the facts of NicDhòmhnaill’s familial relations. But NicDhòmhnaill was the sister of celebrated tradition bearer Aonghas ‘Beag’ Mac ’IllFhialain (Angus MacLellan). This study will make use of these familial relations by comparing the siblings’ versions of the same tale and thus demonstrate the value of recognising and utilising women’s stories as a source for research. Throughout, this study aims to contribute to a greater awareness and more accurate appraisal of Highland women’s role in the oral literature traditions of nineteenth- and twentieth-century Gaelic storytelling culture.
Microcredit - A More Credible Social than Economic Program in Bangladesh

Subjects: Economics

description: ABSTRACTCalculated under the framework of economic-profit counting, the productivity of microcreditin Bangladesh is found very low. In this survey about 48% of the borrowers had to compromisetheir normal wages for self-employed labor to be able to pay the high interest for the credit. Similarlyits social productivity is also found marginal. However, about 90% of the borrowers feltcomfortable with microcredit even at so high interest rate seemingly to avoid losing orcompromising their social and political empowerment at the hands of the local moneylendersor relatives. Borrowers give high value to their socio-political empowerments and are readyto compromise normal wages for their self-employed labor. In the game of political economyof credit for the poor, microcredit is seen as a means of protecting and enhancing sociopoliticalempowerments of the low income and distressed people in the society and isappraised as a credible social than economic institution.

description: ABSTRACTThe role of growing financial sectors is already marked with good attention of the policymakers, investors, academicians and researchers in Bangladesh. To accelerate and sustain theeconomic growth, the dimension of finance research is very critical which subsequentlyresults diversified types of researches being conducted continuously in this area. At the sametime, assessing the directions of researches is also very important to find out the gap in theresearch vicinity and to explore uncovered issues keeping in mind that the world of finance isvast and there is little success in Bangladesh in terms of area wise research conducted.Moreover, the financial crisis of the world allows us to think further and look back on thefinance researches being conducted and its evolution. This paper is an attempt to analyze thedimensions of financial researches that published in Bangladesh from 1973 to 2006. Thisstudy analyzes 549 papers covering from available issues (612 issues out of 750) of 18journals published by well reputed academic institutions in Bangladesh. This papercategorizes the existing finance publications into different major areas and sub-areas. Thecategory of finance researches is also segmented in three time periods based on the researchtrend in three decades. Finally the paper highlights the most focused areas and its outcomes,where most of the researches have been conducted but still need to do further study, andunexplored areas, where research works is highly required. This paper will be helpful for thefinancial institutions, researchers and policy makers

Subjects: subject: 40104 Climate Change Processes
subject: FOS: Earth and related environmental sciences

description: Abstract: Problem statement: The climatic factors are changing very rapidly in Malaysia. To adaptfarmers with the changes, government and other external agencies are providing several kinds of supports,but yet the adaptability is not that high. Approach: To analyze the climate change adaptability of thefarmers in Malaysia, this study uses primary data that have been collected through questionnaire survey onpaddy farmers in the Integrated Agricultural Development Area (IADA), North-West Selangor, Malaysia.Data have been analyzed by using descriptive statistics and ordered regression. Results: Most farmersbelieve that buying additional fertilizer from market is not important for their current adaptation capabilitywith climate change. As a consequence, 75.3% of the farmers never used extra fertilizer beyond the fullysubsidized quantity. But, 41.4% farmers agree that government’s supports are not enough to adequatelycope with climate change. Conclusion/ Recommendations: It is found that sustainability of agricultureand farmers’ livelihood are strongly dependent on the external supports. Therefore, farmers’ adaptability toclimate change needs to be addressed through steps beyond the incentives and subsidies. Farmers needtraining and motivational supports for the necessary adaption.

title: Le Corps au combat: the body as a site of symbolic combat in republican newspaper satire in the late Second Empire and early Third Republic, c. 1867-1873
Creators: name: Martin, Aidan
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2021

description: This thesis seeks to demonstrate the importance of the body in the contestation of symbolic authority by republican newspaper satirists during a period of great political change in France, encompassing the end of the Second Empire and the beginning of the Third Republic. In recent years, much attention has been given to caricature in the period, but historians have largely restricted their consideration to broad surveys of collections. This thesis instead opts for a close reading of individual caricatures and other satire in an effort to decode their symbolic meaning, identifying and contextualising sources that can enlighten us about the reformulation of authority in the period and assisting further research in the area. As concerns methodology, the study bases its understanding of the body on the frameworks set out by Judith Wechsler and Bertrand Tillier, that the body functioned as a set of codes to be read, revealing information about one’s character and serving as signs of social difference. Corporeality is therefore not only considered in its physical terms (physique, gesture and dress), but also as a social and political phenomenon, encompassing ideas of morality, gender and class. As explored in each chapter, this has wide-ranging consequences for satire’s ability to interrupt the transmission of symbolic authority, which, inspired by Seth Whidden, the thesis defines as the conventions of signs and symbols which allow one agent to act upon another. The manipulation of the body as sign, particularly but not solely in caricature, is the cornerstone of the satirist’s involvement in the contest of symbolic authority. As the thesis attests, symbolic conventions are constituted through discursive practice, with the theoretical approaches of Richard Terdiman shaping the thesis’ understanding of such practices. The study of the body and symbolic authority thus necessarily collides with issues of discourse and counter-discourse. The thesis contends that this intersection of corporeality, discourse and symbolic authority is a good framework in which to examine textual and visual satire in late-nineteenth-century France, appreciating the role that individual satirists played in the symbolic struggles of the era while recognising the collective, societal and discursive formations integral to their success and which defined their limitations. This is particularly important given the prevailing context of censorship in the period. This nuanced approach allows for censorship to be perceived as more than a mere roadblock to satirical intervention against Bonapartism and monarchism, but as a source of artistic and ideological innovation which provided a fertile field for the negotiation of symbolic authority between satirists, their readers and their subjects.

description: Formal rules and policies are fundamental in formally specifying a social system: its operation, boundaries, processes, and even ontology. Recent scholarship has highlighted the role of formal policy in collective knowledge creation, game communities, the production of digital public goods, and national social media governance. Researchers have shown interest in how online communities convene tenable self-governance mechanisms to regulate member activities and distribute rights and privileges by designating responsibilities, roles, and hierarchies. We present NLP4Gov, an interactive kit to train and aid scholars and practitioners alike in computational policy analysis. The library explores and integrates methods and capabilities from computational linguistics and NLP to generate semantic and symbolic representations of community policies from text records. Versatile, documented, and accessible, NLP4Gov provides granular and comparative views into institutional structures and interactions, along with other information extraction capabilities for downstream analysis.
title: “Vox clamantis in deserto?” The evolution of Britain’s foreign intelligence and security structures, 1870-1914
Creators: name: Gordon, Adam
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2022

description: This thesis examines the evolutionary process of Britain’s foreign intelligence organisations from 1870 to 1914. There were three main drivers behind the development of British foreign intelligence through this period. These were: the influence of political and administrative culture; the apathy of the military establishment; and the involvement of intelligence officers within policymaking. These latter two steps were guided by the effect of British political and administrative culture. These twin cultural influences informed the character of Britain’s foreign intelligence structures, along with Britain’s nascent intelligence culture, as they adopted state governance principles. Inter-departmentalism, involvement within the ‘committee system’, cooperation, and achieving consensus were, to varying degrees, the defining principles of Britain’s burgeoning intelligence machinery. These principles served to impel the animosity of the military establishment, while facilitating the intelligence institutions’ involvement with the civilian sphere and policymaking. By 1914 Britain’s foreign intelligence structures had become incorporated into the civilian sphere, acting as bridges between the civilian and military spheres of the British state facilitating the flow of information in both directions. This thesis will illustrate how important an influence a nation’s political and administrative culture can be upon the evolution of its intelligence agencies. The period from 1870 to 1914 laid the foundations for the shape and character of Britain’s modern intelligence community, establishing principles and an intelligence culture that persist to this day.

description: Purpose: To develop a sensitive scale of iris transillumination suitable for clinical and research use, with the capability of either quantitative analysis or visual matching of images. Methods: Iris transillumination photographic images were used from 70 study subjects with ocular or oculocutaneous albinism. Subjects represented a broad range of ocular pigmentation. A subset of images was subjected to image analysis and ranking by both expert and nonexpert reviewers. Quantitative ordering of images was compared with ordering by visual inspection. Images were binned to establish an 8-point scale. Ranking consistency was evaluated using the Kendall rank correlation coefficient (Kendall’s tau). Visual ranking results were assessed using Kendall’s coefficient of concordance (Kendall’s W) analysis. Results: There was a high degree of correlation among the image analysis, expert-based and non-expert-based image rankings. Pairwise comparisons of the quantitative ranking with each reviewer generated an average Kendall’s tau of 0.83 ± 0.04 (SD). Inter-rater correlation was also high with Kendall’s W of 0.96, 0.95, and 0.95 for nonexpert, expert, and all reviewers, respectively. Conclusions: The current standard for assessing iris transillumination is expert assessment of clinical exam findings. We adapted an image-analysis technique to generate quantitative transillumination values. Quantitative ranking was shown to be highly similar to a ranking produced by both expert and nonexpert reviewers. This finding suggests that the image characteristics used to quantify iris transillumination do not require expert interpretation. Inter-rater rankings were also highly similar, suggesting that varied methods of transillumination ranking are robust in terms of producing reproducible results.

Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2022

description: Exploiting the quantum properties of entangled photon-pairs allows the limits of classical imaging to be surpassed, whether that may be imaging beyond the shot-noise limit or the classical limits of resolution. Full-field imaging of quantum correlations has recently become possible as a result of single-photon sensitive detector arrays thereby offering a substantial reduction in the time required to acquire an image when compared to the scanning-fibre techniques previously employed. The work presented in this thesis seeks to utilise the spatial correlations between entangled photon-pairs to improve quantum imaging techniques such that quantum-enhanced imaging may be applied in real-world applications. Such applications included in this work include contrast-enhanced and resolution-enhanced imaging which may find applications in quantum enhanced microscopy, and quantum Lidar.
title: The geographies of care and training in the development of assistance dog partnerships
Creators: name: Arathoon, Jamie
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2022

description: Human-assistance-dog partnerships form a significant phenomena that have been overlooked in both animal geographies and disability geographies. By focusing on one Assistance Dogs UK (ADUK) charity, ‘Dog A.I.D’., a charity that helps physically disabled and chronically ill people to train their own pets to be assistance dogs, I detail the intimate entangled lifeworlds that humans and dogs occupy. In doing so, I also dialogue between the sub-disciplinary fields of animal geographies and disability geographies, by exploring two broad thematic areas – embodiment and care. As such, this thesis examines the geographies of assistance dog partnership, the care and training practices involved, the benefits and challenges of sharing a lifeworld with a different species, and the changing relationship from a human-pet bond to a human-assistance-dog partnership. Drawing on lived experience and representations of assistance dog partnerships gathered through qualitative (and quantitative) research methods, including a survey, semi-structured interviews (face-to-face, online, and telephone), video ethnography, and magazine analysis, I contribute to research on the assistance dog partnerships and growing debates around the more-than-human nature of care. The ethnomethodological approach to exploring how training occurs between disabled human and assistance dog is also noteworthy as it centres the lively experiences of practice at work between species. The thesis is organised around interconnected themes: the intimate worlds of assistance dog partnerships, working bodies, and caring relations. These thematics allow for a geographical interpretation into the governance, spatial organisation, and representations of dog assistance partnerships. I also explore the training cultures of Dog A.I.D. whilst also spotlighting the lived experiences of training through the early stages of ‘socialisation’, ‘familiarisation’, ‘life skills training’, through to ‘task work’. Finally, the thesis focuses on the practices of care that characterise the assistance dog partnership, showing how care is provided and received by both human and nonhuman. I pay attention to the complex potentiality of the partnership, illustrating how dogs are trained to assist, but also how dogs appear to embody lively, agentic, moments of care. The thesis contributes original work which speaks to animal and disability geographies and attends to the multiple geographies of care-full cross-species lives.

description: ReaxFF MD is a promising method for exploring complex chemical reactions, allowing large coal molecular systems simulated at high temperature. Due to the amorphous and diverse nature of coal chemical structure, model scale effect on the simulation of coal pyrolysis can be a big issue, which was investigated by comparing heat-up ReaxFF MD simulations of three Liulin coal models with 2338, 13,498 and 98,900 atoms. ReaxFF MD simulation results show its consistency in the observed trends of weight loss profiles and product generations lumped by C number for different model scales. The small-scale coal model facilitates observation of reaction sites, but can hardly access reasonable evolving trends of products and reactions. ReaxFF MD simulations of the coal model in middle scale can obtain much better evolving trends of pyrolyzates and reproduce some reaction pathways. But certain fluctuations or randomness of reactions still exist in the evolution trends of representative products. The diversity of chemical reactions in coal pyrolysis can be much more accessible by employing the large-scale coal model, thus permitting distinguishable evolving trends in pyrolyzates.
title: Anglicisation in the letters of Marie Stewart, Countess of Mar and her family: a sociolinguistic perspective
Creators: name: Elder, Claire M.
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2022

description: This study aims to further our understanding of the development of the Scots language by focusing on the family letters of the elite noblewoman, political influencer, patron of the arts and mother of 12, Marie Stewart, Countess of Mar (1576–1644). The multilingual circumstances of Stewart’s life as a French-born Jacobean courtier turned Scottish Covenanter establish her as a fascinating research subject. Stewart’s extant letters preserved in the National Library of Scotland archival collections, along with those sent by her husband John Erskine, 2nd Earl of Mar and their children, date from the first half of the seventeenth century and were written during the period of anglicisation in Scotland initiated by the Reformation and reinforced by the Union of the Crowns in 1603. Almost entirely overlooked by scholars until now, these remarkable manuscripts present a rare opportunity to explore how different members of the same family responded to the linguistic change. A historical sociolinguistic, pragmatic approach will uncover the conditioning factors that influenced the senders’ language, such as sex, recipient, and sender location. Corpus linguistic techniques track 23 iconic features of Early Modern Scots in a purpose-built corpus compiled from new diplomatic transcriptions of 47 manuscripts. Then a methodology that combines quantitative and qualitative variation analyses compares the senders’ use of linguistic forms. The dissertation concludes that micro-level studies of small numbers of language users can produce the nuanced picture that many scholars now consider necessary to pinpoint the complexity of what happens during linguistic change. The findings reveal a range of levels of anglicisation within a single family’s correspondence, their behaviour serving to augment our understanding of Scotland’s compelling linguistic history.

description: Background: Ageing and post-pollination changes in floral colour occur widely in flowering plants, but it remains an open question as to whether or not colour changes in nectar guides are associated with the quantity of floral rewards that ultimately influence pollinator visitations and reproductive success. Aims: To examine whether nectar guide changes should be considered as a reliable signal to pollinators and to assess the effects of nectar guide changes on reproductive success. Methods: We studied the process and adaptive value of colour changes in the nectar guides of Arnebia szechenyi whose flowers typically display conspicuous nectar guides at the onset of anthesis, after which they begin to fade, and disappear completely on the second day. Results: Changes in nectar guide colour in A. szechenyi were intrinsic and age-dependent, although pollination somewhat accelerated the change. By the time that the nectar guides disappeared completely, floral rewards were reduced almost to zero. Artificial removal of nectar guides decreased both fruit set and pollen export. Flowers without nectar guides do not appear to increase the overall attractiveness of the plants. Conclusions: Nectar guides and their changes represent reliable signals to pollinators and enhance both male and female reproductive success.

description: During the last few years, continual learning (CL) strategies for image classification and segmentation have been widely investigated designing innovative solutions to tackle catastrophic forgetting, like knowledge distillation and self-inpainting. However, the application of continual learning paradigms to point clouds is still unexplored and investigation is required, especially using architectures that capture the sparsity and uneven distribution of LiDAR data. The current paper analyzes the problem of class incremental learning applied to point cloud semantic segmentation, comparing approaches and state-of-the-art architectures. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first example of class-incremental continual learning for LiDAR point cloud semantic segmentation. Different CL strategies were adapted to LiDAR point clouds and tested, tackling both classic fine-tuning scenarios and the Coarse-to-Fine learning paradigm. The framework has been evaluated through two different architectures on SemanticKITTI, obtaining results in line with state-of-the-art CL strategies and standard offline learning.

description: This study investigated biodrying performance under variable and constant aerations. The matrix-related properties, air-related parameters, and bacterial community were assessed. Under variable aeration, the velocity and temperature of the air above the pile surface were high; bacterial diversity indicated that the biodrying was achieved during an established period; Proteobacteria was dominant throughout the biodrying; and there was better performance of the biodrying product intended for direct incineration or for postcuring land use. Different aeration conditions led different biomass percentages, but the dominant phyla were similar.

description: AbstractThe paper tries to find evidence supporting the impact of continuous policy reforms on themarket efficiency on the Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE). Different policies formed/reformedfrom 1994 to 2005 were categorized in eleven groups depending on their time of issue andsubject matter. To get the result, both non-parametric test (Kolmogrov-Smirnov normalitytest and Run test) and parametric test (Auto-correlation test, Auto-regression) has beenperformed. Analyses were done for each policy group, and it is found that formed/reformedpolicies for DSE during the study period failed to improve the market efficiency even in theweak form level.

description: Some bacterial pathogens utilize cell-cell communication systems, such as quorum sensing (QS), to coordinate genetic programs during host colonization and infection. The human-restricted pathosymbiont Streptococcus pyogenes (group A streptococcus [GAS]) uses the Rgg2/Rgg3 QS system to modify the bacterial surface, enabling biofilm formation and lysozyme resistance. Here, we demonstrate that innate immune cell responses to GAS are substantially altered by the QS status of the bacteria. We found that macrophage activation, stimulated by multiple agonists and assessed by cytokine production and NF-κB activity, was substantially suppressed upon interaction with QS-active GAS but not QS-inactive bacteria. Neither macrophage viability nor bacterial adherence, internalization, or survival were altered by the QS activation status, yet tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), interleukin 6 (IL-6), and interferon beta (IFN-β) levels and NF-κB reporter activity were drastically lower following infection with QS-active GAS. Suppression required contact between viable bacteria and macrophages. A QS-regulated biosynthetic gene cluster (BGC) in the GAS genome, encoding several putative enzymes, was also required for macrophage modulation. Our findings suggest a model wherein upon contact with macrophages, QS-active GAS produce a BGC-derived factor capable of suppressing inflammatory responses. The suppressive capability of QS-active GAS is abolished after treatment with a specific QS inhibitor. These observations suggest that interfering with the ability of bacteria to collaborate via QS can serve as a strategy to counteract microbial efforts to manipulate host defenses.IMPORTANCE Streptococcus pyogenes is restricted to human hosts and commonly causes superficial diseases such as pharyngitis; it can also cause severe and deadly manifestations including necrotizing skin disease or severe postinfectious sequelae like rheumatic heart disease. Understanding the complex mechanisms used by this pathogen to manipulate host defenses could aid in developing new therapeutics to treat infections. Here, we examine the impact of a bacterial cell-cell communication system, which is highly conserved across S. pyogenes, on host innate immune responses. We find that S. pyogenes uses this system to suppress macrophage proinflammatory cytokine responses in vitro Interference with this communication system could serve as a strategy to disarm bacteria and maintain an effective immune response.

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

description: In our previous study, polysialic acid-octadecyl dimethyl betaine (PSA-BS18) was synthesized and modified to liposomal EPI. Preliminary experiments revealed that the PSA-BS18 was a potential material for targeting tumor site with superior curative effects. In this study, PSA-BS18 and Pluronic F127 (F127) mixed polymeric micelles encapsulated docetaxel (DTX) (FP/DTX) were prepared by a self-assembly method. The FP/DTX was found to have a diameter of 34.83 ± 0.50 nm with a narrow polydispersity, the entrapment efficiency was 99.12 ± 1.17%, and the drug loading efficiency of 1.40 ± 0.01%. The storage and dilution stability of FP/DTX was fine. In vitro release studies demonstrated that FP/DTX had delayed the drug release from the micelles. In vitro cytotoxicity assay on B16 cells presented that FP/DTX led to a stronger cytotoxic activity in comparison to F127 micelles based DTX (F127/DTX) and Tween80-based DTX (Taxotere®). The in vivo imaging study showed that the accumulation of FP/DTX at tumor sites was more than F127/DTX. The in vivo antitumor activity of FP/DTX against B16 tumor xenograft model showed a significant higher inhibition and a lower toxicity compared with F127/DTX and Taxotere®. Taken together, the results obtained above showed that PSA-BS18 and F127 mixed polymeric micelles may be a promising strategy for antitumor delivery of DTX.
