title: Growing Up With HIV: Exploring the Experiences of the First Generation of Perinatally Infected Young People in the UK
Creators: name: Dorrell, Judith
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2010

description: This thesis explores the experiences of young people perinatally infected with HIV in the UK. Although advances in medical treatment have made a major difference to the life expectancy of these young people this may not be matched by their 'lived experience' insofar as they face the consequences of a stigmatised disease as well as an uncertain future. This is the first study to critically analyse young peoples' accounts of growing up with HIV in the UK. This thesis considers the experiences of twenty-eight young people between the ages of fifteen and twenty-four recruited from a London hospital. Drawing on Bury's (1982) concept of 'biographical disruption' and the concept of 'critical moments' (Thomson et al. 2002), it explores how HIV affects a young person's biography. Findings from the study demonstrate that a diagnosis of HIV disrupts biography and this experience is interspersed by 'critical moments' that serve to bring into sharp relief difference and forces young people to continually re-evaluate and make sense of being HIV positive. Young people make sense of disruption in order to construct and maintain a new identity as they become adults; this process is influenced by the stigma attached to HIV as well as by the disease trajectory. They use a range of strategies to adjust to and manage living with a stigmatised identity. This study raises important questions about the impact of HIV on young people, their families and their relationships. It demonstrates that most young people learn to 'pass' (Goffman 1963) as uninfected and conceal their HIV status. They withdraw from social relationships which increases their isolation and loneliness and affects their well-being. Findings also reveal that young people report little support to help them manage the impact of HIV. The study also highlights the urgent need for future research focusing on young people with HIV.

description: Patient-reported outcome (PRO) can give information to caregivers and doctors about adverse effects and give real-world data on symptom burden for patients during treatment. We here report PROs from patients with metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) receiving oncological treatment. Our findings are compared with adverse events from published findings in relevant registration studies and we discuss possible applications by looking at the level of interference with usual or daily activities. An electronic PRO-Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (ePRO-CTCAE) questionnaire, with 41 items corresponding to 22 symptoms/adverse events associated with the treatment regimens commonly used for mCRPC, were collected from 54 patients with mCRPC receiving medical oncological treatment. Eleven symptoms attributing interference with usual or daily living were selected and stratified by antineoplastic treatment administered. The responses were pooled and compared with data from relevant registration studies for docetaxel, cabazitaxel, radium-223 and abiraterone. 168 questionnaires were completed, and among responses from patients receiving docetaxel, 89% of responses shows that fatigue interfered with their usual or daily activities to some degree and 22% to a high or very high degree. In the registration study for docetaxel fatigue is reported with 53% for all grades and 5% for grade 3 or above. For cabazitaxel, radium-223 and abiraterone the percentage of responses with interference of daily activities from fatigue range from 58% to 82%. Between four and six of the eleven chosen PRO-CTCAE symptoms are not reported in the registration studies as common side effects. PRO may help inform caregivers about symptoms not previously reported, interfering with usual or daily activities but also point to the use of this information to inform new patients. This may help clinicians and patients decide a treatment plan with an acceptable benefit-to-harm ratio.

description: Phononless plasmon assisted thermally activated transport through a long disordered array of finite length quantum wires is investigated analytically. Generically strong electron plasmon interaction in quantum wires results in a qualitative change of the temperature dependence of thermally activated resistance in comparison to phonon assisted transport. At high temperatures, the thermally activated resistance is determined by the Luttinger liquid interaction parameter of the wires.

description: Conservation Compliance ties eligibility for most Federal farm program benefits to soil and wetland conservation. To be eligible for farm program benefits, farmers must apply an approved soil conservation system on highly erodible cropland (Highly Erodible Land Conservation, or HELC) and refrain from draining wetlands (Wetland Conservation, or WC). Conservation Compliance is effective when the incentive—the farm program benefits that could be lost due to noncompliance—exceeds the cost of meeting soil and wetland conservation requirements. HELC significantly reduced soil erosion on highly erodible cropland and may have also encouraged erosion reduction on land not subject to HELC. Compliance incentives (farm program benefits) under the Agricultural Act of 2014 are found to (1) vary widely across farms with cropland in HEL (highly erodible land) fields, (2)approximate the overall level of incentive that would have been provided under an extension of the 2008 Farm Act (although incentives changed significantly on many farms), and (3) be significantly lower on many farms if crop insurance premium subsidies were not subject to Conservation Compliance. Compliance incentives for WC, although measured only in the Prairie Pothole region of the Northern Plains, are clearly larger than Compliance costs for an estimated 75 percent of wetlands that are already cropped or have characteristics (e.g., productivity, topography) that are favorable to crop production.

description: Metadata forms the backbone of open scholarly infrastructure, enabling the discoverability, accessibility, and understanding of research outputs and resources. When repositories register Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) with DataCite, they use the DataCite Metadata Schema to describe each research output or resource. The six required metadata properties ensure that each record has the essential information to facilitate citation and retrieval.

To support interoperability across systems, the DataCite Metadata Schema also includes properties beyond the mandatory six which can be used to establish connections between works, people, and organizations—all linked using persistent identifiers. Together, these connections form the PID Graph of relationships between research outputs and resources, as well as to related people and organizations. This blog post explores how repositories can include related persistent identifiers (PIDs) in their DOI metadata and highlights the FAIR Island project as a case study, demonstrating the potential of rich, interconnected metadata. This case study will highlight the connections described above between people, organizations, and research outputs and resources.

description: Nanocrystal gelation provides a powerful framework to translate nanoscale properties into bulk materials and to engineer emergent properties through the assembled microstructure. However, many established gelation strategies rely on chemical reactions and specific interactions, e.g., stabilizing ligands or ions on the surface of the nanocrystals, and are therefore not easily transferrable. Here, we report a general gelation strategy via non-specific and purely entropic depletion attractions applied to three types of metal oxide nanocrystals. The gelation thresholds of two compositionally distinct spherical nanocrystals agree quantitatively, demonstrating the adaptability of the approach for different chemistries. Consistent with theoretical phase behavior predictions, nanocrystal cubes form gels at a lower polymer concentration than nanocrystal spheres, allowing shape to serve as a handle to control gelation. These results suggest that the fundamental underpinnings of depletion-driven assembly, traditionally associated with larger colloidal particles, are also applicable at the nanoscale.
Partisan Differences in Opinionated News Perceptions : A Test of the Hostile Media Effect
Creators: name: Feldman, Lauren
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: The proliferation of opinion and overt partisanship in cable news raises questions about how audiences perceive this context. Of particular interest is whether audiences effectively perceive bias in opinionated news programs, and the extent to which there are partisan differences in these perceptions. Results from a series of three online experiments produce evidence for a relative hostile media phenomenon in the context of opinionated news. Although, overall, audiences perceive more story and host bias in opinionated news than in non-opinionated news, these perceptions - particularly perceptions of the host - vary as a function of partisan agreement with the news content. Specifically, issue partisans appear to have a "bias against bias," whereby they perceive less bias in opinionated news with which they are predisposed to agree than non-partisans and especially partisans on the other side of the issue.

Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Despite a growing consensus that civic education is an important aspect of political socialization, little research has prospectively examined how gains made during civics courses are maintained after high school. This study used a quasi-experimental design to examine longer-term effects of the Student Voices program, which was originally evaluated in Philadelphia public high schools during the 2002-2003 school year. Following the 2004 presidential election, researchers recontacted students who had participated in the program for one or two semesters and students who had been in control civics classrooms. A structural equation model indicated that students who experienced two semesters of the program reported greater self-efficacy for political participation and that this effect carried over to increased political attentiveness as well as to knowledge of candidate positions. In addition, political attentiveness increased knowledge and voting in the election. However, neither knowledge nor efficacy had direct effects on voting once attentiveness was controlled. The results suggest that a supplementary civics education program such as Student Voices can increase subsequent participation in politics by building long-term gains in political self-efficacy and skills in using the news media to follow government and political affairs.
title: Feeling the groove: shared time and its meanings for three jazz trios
Creators: name: Doffman, Mark Russell
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2009

description: The notion of groove is fundamental to jazz culture and the term yields a rich set of understandings for jazz musicians. Within the literature, no single perspective on groove exists and many questions remain about the relationship between timing processes, phenomenal experience and musical structures in making sense of groove. In this account, the experience and meaning of groove is theorised as emerging from two forms of sharedness. Firstly, a primary intersubjectivity that arises through the timing behaviours of the players; this could be likened to the 'mutual tuning-in' described in social phenomenology. It is proposed that this tuning-in is accomplished through the mechanism of entrainment. The second form of sharedness is understood as the shared temporal models, the cultural knowledge, that musicians make use of in their playing together. Methodologically, this study makes use of detailed investigation of timing data from live performances by three jazz trios, framed by in-depth, semi-structured interview material and steers a new course between existing ethnographic work on jazz and more psychologically informed studies of timing. The findings of the study point towards significant social and structural effects on the groove between players. The impact of musical role on groove and timing is demonstrated and significant temporal models, whose syntactic relations suggest musical proximity or distance, are shown to have a corresponding effect on timing within the trios. The musician's experience of groove is discussed as it relates to the objective timing data and reveals a complex set of understandings involving temporality, consciousness and communication. In the light of these findings, groove is summarised as the feeling of entrainment, inflected through cultural models and expressed through the cultural norms of jazz.

description: For astronomical instruments, accurate knowledge of the optical pointing and coupling are essential to characterize the alignment and performance of (sub-)systems prior to integration and deployment. Ideally, this requires the phase response of the optical system, which for direct (phase insensitive) detectors was not previously accessible. Here we show development of the phase sensitive complex beam pattern technique using a dual optical source heterodyne technique for a large field of view Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detector camera at 350 GHz. We show here how you can analyze the measured data with Fourier optics, which allows integration into a telescope model to calculate the on sky beam pattern and telescope aperture efficiency prior to deployment at a telescope.

Characteristic Feature of Self-Consistent Mean-Field in Level Crossing Region

description: A shape change of the self-consistent mean-field induced by a configuration change is discussed within the conventional constrained Hartree-Fock (CHF) theory. It is stressed that a single-particle level crossing dynamics should be treated carefully, because the shape of the mean-field in such a finite many-body system as the nucleus strongly changes depending on its configuration. This situation is clearly shown by applying an adiabatic assumption, where the most energetically favorable single-particle states are assumed to be occupied. The excited HF states and the continuously-connected potential energy curves are given by applying the configuration dictated CHF method. The effect of pairing correlation is discussed in the level crossing region. Triaxial deformed results in our Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (HFB) calculation with Gogny force nicely reproduce the available experimental data of Ge isotopes. From our numerical calculation, it is concluded that the CHFB state is more fragile than the CHF state in the level crossing region.

description: This paper investigates systemic risk measures for stochastic financial networks of explicitly modelled bilateral liabilities. We extend the notion of systemic risk measures from Biagini, Fouque, Fritelli and Meyer-Brandis (2019) to graph structured data. In particular, we focus on an aggregation function that is derived from a market clearing algorithm proposed by Eisenberg and Noe (2001). In this setting, we show the existence of an optimal random allocation that distributes the overall minimal bailout capital and secures the network. We study numerical methods for the approximation of systemic risk and optimal random allocations. We propose to use permutation equivariant architectures of neural networks like graph neural networks (GNNs) and a class that we name (extended) permutation equivariant neural networks ((X)PENNs). We compare their performance to several benchmark allocations. The main feature of GNNs and (X)PENNs is that they are permutation equivariant with respect to the underlying graph data. In numerical experiments we find evidence that these permutation equivariant methods are superior to other approaches.

description: Prior research on the political effects of late-night comedy programs has demonstrated that by piggy-backing political content on entertainment fare, such programs provide a “gateway” to increased audience attention to news and public affairs, particularly among less politically engaged audiences. Given the heightened coverage of science and environmental topics on Comedy Central’s satirical news programs The Daily Show and The Colbert Report, this paper considers whether a similar process could be at work relative to public attention to science and the environment. An analysis of nationally representative survey data finds that audience exposure to The Daily Show and The Colbert Report goes hand-in-hand with attention paid to science and environmental issues, specifically global warming. Moreover, the relationship between satirical news use and attentiveness is most pronounced among those with the least amount of formal education, who might otherwise lack the resources and motivation to pay attention to scientific and environmental issues. In this way, satirical news is an attention equalizer, reducing traditional gaps in attentiveness between those with low and high levels of education.

description: Using an online experiment with a national sample, this study tests the effects of political efficacy messages on two types of climate-related political participation via the discrete emotions of hope, fear, and anger, and compares these effects across ideological groups. Relative to a message that only discusses negative climate impacts, messages that emphasize the internal, external, or response efficacy of political actions to address climate change are found to influence hope and fear but not anger, and these effects vary by political ideology. Further, exposure to efficacy information indirectly increases participation via hope - even, in some cases, among conservatives.

description: This chapter discusses the significance of distinctiveness theory for understanding advertising persuasion in multicultural marketplaces. First, we define distinctiveness theory, reviewing the initial empirical tests that formed the distinctiveness postulate and describing its underlying psychological assumptions. We also discuss other research that extends various elements of distinctiveness theory and attests to its robustness. Then, we review consumer applications of distinctiveness theory, and link this discussion to our understanding of the psychological processes affecting advertising responses. Our goal is to demonstrate how powerful the distinctiveness construct is in understanding advertising persuasion among multicultural audiences. Finally, we suggest directions for future research that capitalize on and extend the distinctiveness construct.

description: In Landau levels N > 1, the ground state of the two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) in a perpendicular magnetic field evolves from a Wigner crystal for small filling of the partially filled Landau level, into a succession of bubble states with increasing number of guiding centers per bubble as the filling increases, to a modulated stripe state near half filling. In this work, we show that these first-order phase transitions between the bubble states lead to measurable discontinuities in several physical quantities such as the density of states and the magnetization of the 2DEG. We discuss in detail the behavior of the collective excitations of the bubble states and show that their spectra have higher-energy modes besides the pinned phonon mode. The frequencies of these modes, at small wavevector k, have a discontinuous evolution as a function of filling factor that should be measurable in, for example, microwave absorption experiments.

description: We investigate the process of fixation of advantageous mutations in an asexual population. We assume that the effect of each beneficial mutation is exponentially distributed with mean value $ω_{med}=1/β$. The model also considers that the effect of each new deleterious mutation reduces the fitness of the organism independent on the previous number of mutations. We use the branching process formulation and also extensive simulations to study the model. The agreement between the analytical predictions and the simulational data is quite satisfactory. Surprisingly, we observe that the dependence of the probability of fixation $P_{fix}$ on the parameter $ω_{med}$ is precisely described by a power-law relation, $P_{fix} \sim ω_{med}^γ$. The exponent $γ$ is an increase function of the rate of deleterious mutations $U$, whereas the probability $P_{fix}$ is a decreasing function of $U$. The mean value $ω_{fix}$ of the beneficial mutations which reach ultimate fixation depends on $U$ and $ω_{med}$. The ratio $ω_{fix}/ω_{med}$ increases as we consider higher values of mutation value $U$ in the region of intermediate to large values of $ω_{med}$, whereas for low $ω_{med}$ we observe the opposite behavior.

description: The polarization curve of GRB 020813 is discussed and compared to different models for the structure, evolution and magnetisation properties of the jet and the interstellar medium onto which the fireball impacts. GRB 020813 is best suited for this kind of analysis for the smoothness of its afterglow light curve, ensuring the applicability of current models. The polarization dataset allows us to rule out the standard GRB jet, in which the energy and Lorentz factor have a well defined value inside the jet opening angle and the magnetic field is generated at the shock front. We explore alternative models finding that a structured jet or a jet with a toroidal component of the magnetic field can fit equally well the polarization curve. Stronger conclusions cannot be drawn due to the incomplete sampling of the polarization curve. A more dense sampling, especially at early times, is required to pin down the structure of the jet and the geometry of its magnetic field.

title: The Role of Speech Rhythm Sensitivity in Children's Reading Development
Creators: name: Holliman, Andrew John
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2009

description: This thesis examines whether speech rhythm sensitivity is related to children's reading development, phonological awareness, and non-speech rhythm sensitivity, whether children at risk of reading difficulties have a specific speech rhythm sensitivity deficit, and whether speech rhythm sensitivity is predictive of children's reading development over time. Study One investigated the relatedness of speech rhythm, non-speech rhythm, reading ability and phonological awareness. A hierarchical regression analysis revealed that non-speech rhythm sensitivity was unable to predict unique variance in reading attainment after controlling for speech rhythm sensitivity and phonological awareness. In contrast, sensitivity to speech rhythm was able to predict a significant amount of unique variance in reading attainment after age, vocabulary, phonological awareness, short-term memory, and non-speech rhythm had been accounted for. These results suggest that speech rhythm sensitivity is not merely an aspect of general phonological awareness or rhythmic appreciation; it is a skill that is explaining new variance in reading ability. Study Two investigated whether a measure of speech rhythm sensitivity administered to 5 to 7-year-old children could predict the different components of reading ability one year later. A series of hierarchical regression analyses revealed that speech rhythm sensitivity was able to predict a significant amount of unique variance in word reading, reading comprehension, and the phrasing component of a reading fluency measure after controlling for receptive vocabulary, age and phonological awareness. Study Three investigated whether apparent speech rhythm sensitivity deficits in young poor readers represent a specific deficit in these children who were at risk of reading difficulties. It was found that after controlling for receptive vocabulary and phonological awareness, the 'at risk' children were outperformed by their chronological-age matched controls. but not by their reading-age matched controls on measures of speech rhythm sensitivity. This is suggestive of a maturational lag as opposed to a specific deficit in speech rhythm sensitivity. The overall findings from these concurrent, longitudinal, and cross-sectional data suggest that speech rhythm sensitivity is an important, yet neglected aspect of English-speaking children's phonological representations, which needs to be incorporated into theoretical accounts of reading development.

description: Recurrence of endometrial cancer is not routinely registered in the Danish national health registers. The aim of this study was to develop and validate a register-based algorithm to identify women diagnosed with endometrial cancer recurrence in Denmark to facilitate register-based research in this field. We conducted a cohort study based on data from Danish health registers. The algorithm was designed to identify women with recurrence and estimate the accompanying diagnosis date, which was based on information from the Danish National Patient Registry and the Danish National Pathology Registry. Indicators of recurrence were pathology registrations and procedure or diagnosis codes suggesting recurrence and related treatment. The gold standard for endometrial cancer recurrence originated from a Danish nationwide study of 2612 women diagnosed with endometrial cancer, FIGO stage I–II during 2005–2009. Recurrence was suspected in 308 women based on pathology reports, and recurrence suspicion was confirmed or rejected in the 308 women based on reviews of the medical records. The algorithm was validated by comparing the recurrence status identified by the algorithm and the recurrence status in the gold standard. After relevant exclusions, the final study population consisted of 268 women, hereof 160 (60%) with recurrence according to the gold standard. The algorithm displayed a sensitivity of 91.3% (95% confidence interval (CI): 85.8–95.1), a specificity of 91.7% (95% CI: 84.8–96.1) and a positive predictive value of 94.2% (95% CI: 89.3–97.3). The algorithm estimated the recurrence date within 30 days of the gold standard in 86% and within 60 days of the gold standard in 94% of the identified patients. The algorithm demonstrated good performance; it could be a valuable tool for future research in endometrial cancer recurrence and may facilitate studies with potential impact on clinical practice.

description: A crescente utilização de biocombustíveis na matriz energética mundial introduziu uma nova questão de relevância teórica e empírica: o relacionamento mais próximo entre os preços de um número cada vez maior de commodities envolvidas na produção de energia, o tema de alta relevância para organizações do agronegócio e da área de energia. Objetiva-se com este trabalho analisar o relacionamento, tanto em termos de volatilidade quanto de transmissão de preços, entre os preços internacionais de duas commodities, o petróleo e o grão de soja, entre janeiro de 1980 e outubro de 2010. Foram utilizados testes ADF, Causalidade de Granger, Cointegração de Johansen, Exogeneidade, Modelo Vetorial de Correção de Erro (VEC), Decomposição da Variância dos Erros de Previsão e Função de Resposta de Impulso. Foi também realizada análise das variâncias das séries por meio de GARCH Multivariado. Os resultados indicam ausência de relacionamento entre essas variáveis no curto prazo; já no longo prazo, as variações nos preços internacionais do petróleo são transferidas menos que proporcionalmente para os preços da soja. As volatilidades são afetadas por choques defasados de um mês. ----- The growing importance of biofuels in the world energy matrix has introduced a new issue of theoretical and empirical relevance, namely the increasingly close relation between prices of a growing number of commodities involved in energy production, a subject of high relevance for both agribusiness and energy organizations. This paper analyzed the relation both in terms of volatility and of price transmission among international prices for two commodities, crude oil and soybean grain, for the period between january -1980 and october - 2010. It was carried out time series econometrics procedures like ADF testing, Granger causality, Johansen Cointegration, Exogeneity, Vector Error Correction (VEC) model, Forecast Error Variance Decomposition, and Impulse Response Function. It also was evaluated the variance analysis of the series using Multivariate GARCH model. The results indicate absence of relation among these variables in the short term, whereas in the long term, the variations in international oil prices are transferred less than proportionally to soybean prices. Volatilities are affected by shocks lagged of one month.

description: Using a formulation of quantum mechanics based on orthogonal polynomials in the energy and physical parameters, we present a method that gives the class of potential functions for exactly solvable problems corresponding to a given energy spectrum. In this work, we study the class of problems with a mix of continuous and discrete energy spectrum that are associated with the continuous dual Hahn polynomial. These include the one-dimensional logarithmic potential and the three-dimensional Coulomb plus linear potential.

description: In Multi-Label Text Classification (MLTC), one sample can belong to more than one class. It is observed that most MLTC tasks, there are dependencies or correlations among labels. Existing methods tend to ignore the relationship among labels. In this paper, a graph attention network-based model is proposed to capture the attentive dependency structure among the labels. The graph attention network uses a feature matrix and a correlation matrix to capture and explore the crucial dependencies between the labels and generate classifiers for the task. The generated classifiers are applied to sentence feature vectors obtained from the text feature extraction network (BiLSTM) to enable end-to-end training. Attention allows the system to assign different weights to neighbor nodes per label, thus allowing it to learn the dependencies among labels implicitly. The results of the proposed model are validated on five real-world MLTC datasets. The proposed model achieves similar or better performance compared to the previous state-of-the-art models.
