A Study to evaluate the feasibility of Screening Relatives of Patients Affected by Non-Syndromic Thoracic Aortic Diseases: the ReST Study
Creators: name: Abbasciano, Riccardo G.
Publisher: name: University of Leicester
Year: 2023
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Objective Diseases of the thoracic aorta (TADs) are increasing in prevalence. Non-syndromic thoracic aortic diseases (NS-TADs) lack external physical features and can present as an acute aortic syndrome. Tailored genetic and imaging screening of first- (FDRs) and second-degree relatives (SDRs) of patients affected by NS-TADs may enable early diagnosis and allow appropriate surveillance or prophylaxis. Methods We performed a Delphi exercise to inform a research proposal that could evaluate a screening programme for TADs. Next, we conducted a feasibility study on 16 NS-TADs patients, along with their FDR and SDR. Each participant underwent imaging and genetic evaluation, together with a physical examination and a psychological assessment. Results In the Delphi exercise, a panel of 34 experts and a pool of 87 patients discussed themes such as preferred imaging technique, age criteria for screening, and optimal trial design. Suggestions included routine storage of DNA and screening test consent at first appointment. For the feasibility study, 70 participants, with median age of 48 years (range 18-85), were recruited. Imaging diagnosis was obtained in 24.1% of relatives, and a genetic variant was identified in 3 families. Overall, imaging or genetic surveillance, or new secondary prevention, was indicated in 68% of the participants in the familial group and 54% in the sporadic group. Conclusion Our results showed an important diagnosis rate with imaging for relatives of NS-TAD patients, and a potential role for genetic testing. With the results of our Delphi exercise, and the evidence gap identified by the review, our data supports the development of a research programme on cascade screening in people at risk of TAD.

Sales force integration into corporate marketing communications and its influence on sales force performance outcomes
Creators: name: Iqbal, Aumer
Publisher: name: Cardiff Metropolitan University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Sociology not elsewhere classified

description: This study is based on research examining whether the level of sales force integration with marketing communications influences sales force performance and concludes that it does. In past studies, integration in terms of marketing communications has been studied extensively, but there was a gap in the literature concerning knowledge of the link between the level of sales force integration into communications and performance outcomes. Good corporate integrated marketing practice is referred to as the manner through which an organisation intends to engage both internal staff (such as the sales force) and external customers. However, much of the Integrated Marketing Communications (IMC) literature revolves around the needs and interests of consumers without attributing much importance to other potential stakeholders, such as the sales force. The focus on other stakeholders has been highlighted in some IMC definitions and has also been a part of discussions of more generic strategic integration. However, the focus on the sales force in the context of IMC has been ignored in most other research. Therefore, there was considered to be a need to focus on integrated marketing communications in relation to sales force integration.   The idea of having well-integrated marketing communications for those involved in selling is that the sales force should be kept fully informed in all (internal and external) corporate marketing communications. This research attempted to uncover evidence as to the effects of sales force integration into an organisation’s communications. The robust statistical reliability and validity of the research is described, and a high level of validity was found for the research findings. All the dependent variables (performance outcomes) deployed in the current research show a significant and positive relationship with sales force integration in the expected direction.
On Courant's nodal domain property for linear combinations of eigenfunctions, Part I

description: According to Courant's theorem, an eigenfunction as\-sociated with the $n$-th eigenvalue $λ\_n$ has at most $n$ nodal domains. A footnote in the book of Courant and Hilbert, states that the same assertion is true for any linear combination of eigenfunctions associated with eigenvalues less than or equal to $λ\_n$. We call this assertion the \emph{Extended Courant Property}.\smallskipIn this paper, we propose simple and explicit examples for which the extended Courant property is false: convex domains in $\R^n$ (hypercube and equilateral triangle), domains with cracks in $\mathbb{R}^2$, on the round sphere $\mathbb{S}^2$, and on a flat torus $\mathbb{T}^2$.

description: Transactions of the Leicestershire Archaeological and Historical Society, 13, 155-198
description: When the fiscal survey known as the Domesday Book was compiled, two churches, a hundred and ten houses, and certain other properties in the borough of Leicester, and more than seventy manors in the county, were held by Hugh de Grentemesnil, a Norman baron who had fought at Hastings and had taken a leading part in the subjugation of England. This powerful nobleman was thus by far the greatest landowner in Leicester� shire, and his estates formed the nucleus of the honour attached to the earldom of Leicester, which was created in the next century, when the local pre-eminence and possessions of the Grentemesnils passed to the still more important family of Beaumont, from which Simon de Montfort, the last of the pre- Lancastrian earls, derived his right of succession.
L-space surgeries on satellites by algebraic links

description: Given an $n$-component link $L$ in any 3-manifold $M$, the space $\mathcal{L} \subset (\mathbb{Q}\cup \mkern-1.5mu\{\infty\})^n$ of rational surgery slopes yielding L-spaces is already fully characterized (in joint work by the author) when $n\!=\!1$ and $\mathcal{L}$ is nontrivial. For $n\mkern-2mu>\mkern-3mu1$, however, there are no previous results for $\mathcal{L}$ as a rational subspace, and only limited results for integer surgeries $\mathcal{L}\cap\mathbb{Z}^n$ on $S^3\mkern-2mu$. Herein, we provide the first nontrivial explicit descriptions of $\mathcal{L}$ for rational surgeries on multi-component links. Generalizing Hedden's and Hom's L-space result for cables, we compute both $\mathcal{L}$, and its topology, for all satellites by torus-links in $S^3\mkern-2mu$. For fractal-boundaried $\mathcal{L}$ resulting from satellites by algebraic links or iterated torus links, we develop arbitrarily precise approximation tools. We also extend the provisional validity of the L-space conjecture for rational surgeries on a knot $K \subset S^3$ to rational surgeries on such satellite-links of $K$. These results exploit the author's generalized Jankins-Neumann formula for graph manifolds.

description: One of the simplest viable models for dark matter is an additional neutral scalar, stabilised by a $\mathbb{Z}_2$ symmetry. Using the GAMBIT package and combining results from four independent samplers, we present Bayesian and frequentist global fits of this model. We vary the singlet mass and coupling along with 13 nuisance parameters, including nuclear uncertainties relevant for direct detection, the local dark matter density, and selected quark masses and couplings. We include the dark matter relic density measured by Planck, direct searches with LUX, PandaX, SuperCDMS and XENON100, limits on invisible Higgs decays from the Large Hadron Collider, searches for high-energy neutrinos from dark matter annihilation in the Sun with IceCube, and searches for gamma rays from annihilation in dwarf galaxies with the Fermi-LAT. Viable solutions remain at couplings of order unity, for singlet masses between the Higgs mass and about 300 GeV, and at masses above $\sim$1 TeV. Only in the latter case can the scalar singlet constitute all of dark matter. Frequentist analysis shows that the low-mass resonance region, where the singlet is about half the mass of the Higgs, can also account for all of dark matter, and remains viable. However, Bayesian considerations show this region to be rather fine-tuned.

description: We consider resonant tunneling between disorder localized states in a potential energy displaying perfect correlations over large distances. The phenomenon described here may be of relevance to models exhibiting many-body localization. Furthermore, in the context of single particle operators, our examples demonstrate that exponential resolvent localization does not imply exponential dynamical localization for random Schrödinger operators with correlated potentials.

description: An approximate solution of the Dyson equation related to a stochastic Helmholtz equation, which describes the acoustic dynamics of a three-dimensional isotropic random medium with elastic tensor fluctuating in space, is obtained in the framework of the Random Media Theory. The wavevector-dependence of the self-energy is preserved, thus allowing a description of the acoustic dynamics at wavelengths comparable with the size of heterogeneity domains. This in turn permits to quantitatively describe the mixing of longitudinal and transverse dynamics induced by the medium's elastic heterogeneity and occurring at such wavelengths. A functional analysis aimed to attest the mathematical coherence and to define the region of validity in the frequency-wavevector plane of the proposed approximate solution is presented, with particular emphasis dedicated to the case of disorder characterized by an exponential decay of the covariance function.

The focus is on the relative groups associated with a group homomorphism $ϕ:Γ_1\to Γ_2$ along with applications to Novikov type properties. In particular, we prove a relative strong Novikov property for homomorphisms of hyperbolic groups and a relative strong $\ell^1$-Novikov property for polynomially bounded homomorphisms of groups with polynomially bounded cohomology in $\C$. As a corollary, relative higher signatures on a manifold with boundary $W$, with $π_1(\partial W)\to π_1(W)$ belonging to the class above, are homotopy invariant.

description: The parish of Stathern possesses three sets of seventeenth century accounts, in varying degrees of completeness and preservation-those of the Constables, of the Churchwardens, and of the Overseers of the Poor. Considerable parts of the Constables' accounts have been transcribed and published in The Archaeological Journal, Vol. LXIX (1922): the Churchwardens' accounts are here printed in full, except for compressions in some of the lists of Church levies. It is hoped that the Overseers' accounts may also be transcribed and printed. The Churchwardens' accounts are contained in two sets of paper sheets, roughly sewn together, together with some odd leaves. The first set or volume is 7'' by 16�'', covering the years 1630 to 1646; the second 8" by 13", covering 1647 to 1677. End pages in both cases are much damaged. Where leaves had clearly been misplaced before their rough binding together, the matter has here been entered according to date. Where headings or entries took more than one line in the original, the division of lines has not necessarily been followed in the transcrip-tion. Capitals have been given where the original showed them clearly, but often it was impossible to determine whether or not a capital should be used, and it is clear that the original writers did not much trouble about the distinction.

description: In this article we study Diophantine approximation and local distribution of a rational point on a toric surface obtained as a blow-up of $\mathbb{P}^1\times\mathbb{P}^1$. It turns out that outside a Zariski closed subset the best approximations are achieved through a family of nodal curves. Hence the investigation is reduced to the question of local distribution of a quadratic point on the projective line.

description: Off-policy learning is key to scaling up reinforcement learning as it allows to learn about a target policy from the experience generated by a different behavior policy. Unfortunately, it has been challenging to combine off-policy learning with function approximation and multi-step bootstrapping in a way that leads to both stable and efficient algorithms. In this work, we show that the \textsc{Tree Backup} and \textsc{Retrace} algorithms are unstable with linear function approximation, both in theory and in practice with specific examples. Based on our analysis, we then derive stable and efficient gradient-based algorithms using a quadratic convex-concave saddle-point formulation. By exploiting the problem structure proper to these algorithms, we are able to provide convergence guarantees and finite-sample bounds. The applicability of our new analysis also goes beyond \textsc{Tree Backup} and \textsc{Retrace} and allows us to provide new convergence rates for the GTD and GTD2 algorithms without having recourse to projections or Polyak averaging.

The motivation for undertaking an examination of these pits by the author was a dissertation for a degree course at Nottingham University. However the present author had been interested in these features for some time, not only because they seem to be treated in a rather cursory manner in the excavation report, but also, because they cast some light upon the Pre-Roman settlement at Leicester; a topic of some interest.

description: We study the seven-dimensional Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM7) with the new GAMBIT software framework, with all parameters defined at the weak scale. Our analysis significantly extends previous weak-scale, phenomenological MSSM fits, by adding more and newer experimental analyses, improving the accuracy and detail of theoretical predictions, including dominant uncertainties from the Standard Model, the Galactic dark matter halo and the quark content of the nucleon, and employing novel and highly-efficient statistical sampling methods to scan the parameter space. We find regions of the MSSM7 that exhibit co-annihilation of neutralinos with charginos, stops and sbottoms, as well as models that undergo resonant annihilation via both light and heavy Higgs funnels. We find high-likelihood models with light charginos, stops and sbottoms that have the potential to be within the future reach of the LHC. Large parts of our preferred parameter regions will also be accessible to the next generation of direct and indirect dark matter searches, making prospects for discovery in the near future rather good.

description: Models are often defined through conditional rather than joint distributions, but it can be difficult to check whether the conditional distributions are compatible, i.e. whether there exists a joint probability distribution which generates them. When they are compatible, a Gibbs sampler can be used to sample from this joint distribution. When they are not, the Gibbs sampling algorithm may still be applied, resulting in a "pseudo-Gibbs sampler". We show its stationary probability distribution to be the optimal compromise between the conditional distributions, in the sense that it minimizes a mean squared misfit between them and its own conditional distributions. This allows us to perform Objective Bayesian analysis of correlation parameters in Kriging models by using univariate conditional Jeffreys-rule posterior distributions instead of the widely used multivariate Jeffreys-rule posterior. This strategy makes the full-Bayesian procedure tractable. Numerical examples show it has near-optimal frequentist performance in terms of prediction interval coverage.

description: This study investigates optimal minimax rates of specification testing for linear and non-linear instrumental variable regression models. The test constructed by non-parametric kernel techniques can be rate optimal when bandwidths are selected appropriately. Since bandwidths are often selected in a data-dependent way in empirical studies, the rate-optimality of the test with data-driven bandwidths is investigated. While least squares cross-validation selects bandwidths that are optimal for estimation, it is shown not to be optimal for testing. Thus, we propose a novel bandwidth selection method for testing, the performance of which is investigated in a simulation study.

Using this connection together with spectral theory of (unbounded) discrete Laplacians on infinite graphs, we prove a number of new results on spectral properties of quantum graphs. Namely, we prove several self-adjointness results including a Gaffney type theorem. We investigate the problem of lower semiboundedness, prove several spectral estimates (bounds for the bottom of spectra and essential spectra of quantum graphs, CLR-type estimates) and study spectral types.

description: We study three computer algebra systems, namely SageMath (with SageManifolds package), Maxima (with ctensor package) and Python language (with GraviPy module), which allow tensor manipulation for general relativity calculations along with general algebraic calculations. We present a benchmark of these systems using simple examples. After the general analysis, we focus on the SageMath and SageManifolds system to derive, analyze and visualize the solutions of the massless Klein-Gordon equation and geodesic motion with Hamilton-Jacobi formalism. We compare our numerical result of the Klein-Gordon equation with the asymptotic form of the analytical solution to see that they agree.

description: We present the most comprehensive global fits to date of three supersymmetric models motivated by grand unification: the Constrained Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (CMSSM), and its Non-Universal Higgs Mass generalisations NUHM1 and NUHM2. We include likelihoods from a number of direct and indirect dark matter searches, a large collection of electroweak precision and flavour observables, direct searches for supersymmetry at LEP and Runs I and II of the LHC, and constraints from Higgs observables. Our analysis improves on existing results not only in terms of the number of included observables, but also in the level of detail with which we treat them, our sampling techniques for scanning the parameter space, and our treatment of nuisance parameters. We show that stau co-annihilation is now ruled out in the CMSSM at more than 95\% confidence. Stop co-annihilation turns out to be one of the most promising mechanisms for achieving an appropriate relic density of dark matter in all three models, whilst avoiding all other constraints. We find high-likelihood regions of parameter space featuring light stops and charginos, making them potentially detectable in the near future at the LHC. We also show that tonne-scale direct detection will play a largely complementary role, probing large parts of the remaining viable parameter space, including essentially all models with multi-TeV neutralinos.

description: David James Vaughan was born in St. Martin's Vicarage, Leicester, on 2 August 1825. His father, Edward Thomas Vaughan, was, at the time, Vicar ,of St. Martin's and Rector of Foston. He died four years later, leaving behind him a family of fourteen, of which David was one of the youngest. After her husband's death Mrs. Vaughan, a daughter of John Pares, chief proprietor of Pares' Leicestershire Banking Company, removed to a house close by Pares' Bank, which� stJood on the site now occupied by the St. Martin's branch of the Westminster Bank. Here, within little more than a stone's throw of St. Martin's church, David spent most of his childhood and youth.
information technology and its role in CRM

Subjects: Marketing technology

description: Building relationship is a challenge, especially when a firm often has several millions of customers who interact with it in many ways (from e-mail to call centers to face to face interactions).when implemented well, a CRM system provides managers with a useful tool to understand their customers and subsequently tailor their products, service, cross selling, and retention efforts on one to one basis. Hence the objective of CRM is to attract, retain and enhance customer relationship with the existing and potential customers. Customizing the needs and wants is the best way of making customer loyal as it provides better service and special treatment to every customer, giving them tailor made solutions to meet their requirements, needs and want.

Cross-pollinating the evidence: A feasibility study into the therapeutic potential of beekeeping for adults with substance misuse issues.

description: Beekeeping could provide opportunities to address substance misuse, however the literature in this subject area is weak, with no formal evaluations using beekeeping as a complex intervention. Ethical approval was obtained. A feasibility study was undertaken, utilising a mixed methods research design, to explore the therapeutic potential of beekeeping for adults with substance misuse issues and to establish whether definitive formal evaluation is possible. Forty-five participants (18 in a Control Group and 25 in an Intervention Group) completed the following quantitative measures over three time periods: the Warwickshire Edinburgh Mental Wellbeing Scale, the Office of National Statistics Subjective Wellbeing Questions, the SF36 health questionnaire, the Connectedness to Nature Scale and the Treatment Outcome Profile. These data were analysed using mixed ANOVAS to ascertain changes in wellbeing, quality of life scores, connectedness to nature and substance use frequency. Eighteen participants from the Intervention Group then engaged in semi structured interviews about their experiences of beekeeping, which were analysed using Thematic Analysis. Significant improvements were seen in wellbeing, calmness, mental focus, mindfulness and recovery skills over time for both groups. However, it was only the Connectedness to Nature scores that showed significantly greater improvements in the Intervention Group compared with the Control Group. Phenomenological meanings that participants projected onto the beekeeping activity provided powerful narratives and demonstrated connection with the bees beyond anthropomorphism. It is argued here that this depth of meaning may be a form of recovery capital in its own right. It is concluded that beekeeping may have potential therapeutic qualities for adults who have experienced substance misuse issues, with promising implications for future practice development. This study shows that beekeeping is acceptable to participants as an intervention, which warrants consideration for formal evaluation.

description: Like most Romano-British civitas capitals, Leicester, Ratae Coritanorum, has yielded the remains of numerous mosaic pavements. The substantial number of thirty mosaics has been recorded to date in various states of preservation, despite much recent investigation, the majority are 19th century discoveries. Most pavements have been found in the western half of the town and, except for one or two examples, the north-east quarter of Ratae has a dearth of mosaics.

Enclosure and Landholding in the Soar Valley
Creators: name: Joyce, Stephen
Publisher: name: Archaeology Data Service
Year: 2023

description: Transactions of the Leicestershire Archaeological and Historical Society, 73, 34-44
description: The four contiguous Soar Valley parishes of Barrow upon Soar, Quorndon, Sileby and Mountsorrel North End were enclosed between 1760 and 1781 - the first three between 1760 and 1763. This article constitutes a case study of the locality in terms of surviving sources relating to the enclosure process, effects on landownership and changes in landholding and land use. While the focus will be on the framework of each parish, similar experiences and analyses will be referred to in terms of the locality. Villages will be examined individually, with the general observations seen as a bonus rather than the basis of the investigation. Particular attention will be paid to the provisions of the actual enclosure awards themselves and extant land tax records between 1781 and 1800. In relation to the latter, an amended version of previous turnover studies has been implemented to enable greater clarification of post-enclosure changes.
