subject: FOS: Clinical medicine

description: The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) are a family of important molecules required for immunity. Our current understanding of MHC has mainly been dominated by studies into the archetypal or ‘classical’ MHC molecules. The non-classical MHC, despite their highly specialised functions, have remained comparatively understudied. This thesis explores the non-classical MHC molecule, H2-Q10, to characterise its functions within immunity and physiology. These findings uncover a new binding interaction between H2-Q10 and another immunological molecule and, through biochemical analysis, pinpoints regulators of this interaction. In addition, this thesis also demonstrates an additional non-immunological, but rather physiological, role of MHC.

description: The human immune system naturally makes antibodies to protect us from infection. By using new technologies such as genetic engineering, monoclonal antibody technology has revolutionised the treatment of some human diseases, however have failed in many intractable diseases. This thesis describes genetic engineering approaches to improve the function and efficacy of antibodies and shows that such approaches can generate new forms that have improved potency of over 100-fold. This paves the way for the next generation of therapeutic monoclonal antibodies and biopharmaceuticals for the treatment of intractable and incurable human diseases.

description: The most widely used method for finding relationships between several quantities is multiple regression. This however is restricted to a single dependent variable. We present a more general method which allows models to be constructed with multiple variables on both sides of an equation and which can be computed easily using a spreadsheet program. The underlying principle (originating from canonical correlation analysis) is that of maximising the correlation between the two sides of the model equation. This paper presents a fitting procedure which makes it possible to force the estimated model to satisfy constraint conditions which it is required to possess, these may arise from theory, prior knowledge or be intuitively obvious. We also show that the least squares approach to the problem is inadequate as it produces models which are not scale invariant.

description: The interstellar region within the few central parsecs around the super-massive black hole, Sgr A* at the very Galactic center is composed by a number of overlapping molecular structures which are subject to one of the most hostile physical environments in the Galaxy. We present high resolution (4"x3"~0.16x0.11 pc) interferometric observations of CN, 13CN, H2CO, SiO, c-C3H2 and HC3N emission at 1.3 mm towards the central ~4 pc of the Galactic center region. Strong differences are observed in the distribution of the different molecules. The UV resistant species CN, the only species tracing all previously identified circumnuclear disk (CND) structures, is mostly concentrated in optically thick clumps in the rotating filaments around Sgr A*. H2CO emission traces a shell-like structure that we interpret as the expansion of Sgr A East against the 50 km/s and 20 km/s giant molecular clouds (GMCs). We derive isotopic ratios 12C/13C~15-45 across most of the CND region. The densest molecular material, traced by SiO and HC3N, is located in the southern CND. The observed c-C3H2/HC3N ratio observed in the region is more than an order of magnitude lower than in Galactic PDRs. Toward the central region only CN was detected in absorption. Apart from the known narrow line-of-sight absorptions, a 90 km/s wide optically thick spectral feature is observed. We find evidences of an even wider (>100 km/s) absorption feature. Around 70-75% of the gas mass, concentrated in just the 27% densest molecular clumps, is associated with rotating structures and show evidences of association with each of the arcs of ionized gas in the mini-spiral structure. Chemical differentiation has been proven to be a powerful tool to disentangle the many overlapping molecular components in this crowded and heavily obscured region.

description: Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are up to 3 times more likely to develop cardiovascular disease (CVD), resulting in premature death. What is alarming, however, is that patients don’t always present with traditional CV risk factors such as high cholesterol levels (dyslipidemia). My project highlights that augmented white blood cell (WBC) levels contribute to increased heart disease in RA, and therapies which can alter either the abundance or the behaviour of WBCs can reduce heart disease in the setting of RA. Furthermore, this may provide clinicians with a new parameter to consider when accessing CVD in RA patients.

description: BAFF and APRIL are two key chemical molecules which signal certain immune cells to develop and grow, to perform their functions, or to live or to die. This thesis examines the role of the BAFF/APRIL system in two cancer-fighting cells called natural killer cells and natural killer T cells. A better understanding of the influence that BAFF and APRIL have on these cells may create an opportunity for the development of new treatments against cancer and other immune disorders.

description: This paper proposes an inertia-emulation-based cooperative control strategy for the multi-parallel energy storage system (ESS) to meet the requirements of state-of-charge (SoC) balance, inertia enhancement and zero-steady-state voltage deviation. The inertia emulation loop (IEL) is constructed by analogy with DC motors to dampen voltage oscillation, while the secondary voltage recovery loop is derived from the circuit equivalence of an inductor to indicate the system stiffness. Moreover, to equalize SoCs of energy storage units (ESUs) dynamically, a SoC self-balance algorithm is developed. The redefined SoC mismatch degree and balance speed adjustment factor k are introduced into the droop resistance, adjusting the SoC self-balance rate and eliminating the SoC deviation among ESUs. The dynamic performance of the SoC self-balance algorithm is analyzed and the small signal model of the DC microgrid (DC-MG) with proposed strategy is established. Based on eigenvalue analysis and step response, the system stability is assessed, and the influence of control parameters on transient characteristics and stability margin is investigated. Considering power constraint, voltage deviation constraint and dynamic stability constraint, the optimal design method of k is given. Finally, simulation and experiment verify that the proposed control, without modifying hardware, performs better dynamic and static characteristics and can equalize SoC among ESUs in charge and discharge mode.

description: This paper reflects women’s position in peace building process in Ethiopia, and examines whether women’s participation in conflict resolution and peace building process are real or rhetoric. Then it provides mechanisms of empowering women in peace building activities. This exploratory evaluation research provides evidence using both primary and secondary data. The research result shows that women’s role in conflict resolution and peace building activities are highly marginalized due to structural barriers which includes lack of capacity in conflict resolution, victimization and sexual harassment in conflict distance women’s from peace building activities. Furthermore, sociocultural influences, patriarchal norms limit their visibility in conflict resolution and peace building activities in Ethiopia. Lack of genuine representation and absence of peace policy are among the challenges that limits women’s from peace building activities. Therefore, women’s role in conflict resolution and peace building activities are just a rhetoric and taken as a political instrument for government gains than reality in determining women’s living as well as the sustainability of peace in the country especially since 2018 Ethiopia’s political transition. Based up on the finding, the research call the following reconsideration measures, namely: (1) Peace policy formulation that addresses the current marginalized position of women in the country’s peace building process, (2) Promoting and strengthening genuine representation of women in governmental decision making institutions, and (3) measures that raise practical engagement of women in peace process, and (4) addressing sociocultural barriers using civic empowerment works so as to get women capable actor in conflict resolution and peace building activities in the country.

description: General purpose graphical processing units (GPU's) offer high processing speeds for certain classes of highly parallelizable computations, such as matrix operations and Fourier transforms, that lie at the heart of first-principles electronic structure calculations. Inclusion of exact-exchange increases the cost of density functional theory by orders of magnitude, motivating the use of GPU's. Porting the widely used electronic density functional code VASP to run on a GPU results in a 5-20 fold performance boost of exact-exchange compared with a traditional CPU. We analyze performance bottlenecks and discuss classes of problems that will benefit from the GPU. As an illustration of the capabilities of this implementation, we calculate the lattice stability α- and β-rhombohedral boron structures utilizing exact-exchange. Our results confirm the energetic preference for symmetry-breaking partial occupation of the β-rhombohedral structure at low temperatures, but does not resolve the stability of α relative to β.

description: The purpose of the study is to examine the prevalence of mental health disorder and substance use among Jigjiga University undergraduate students. Survey research design was conducted on 406 students. The survey constitutes self-administered questionnaire (i.e., Alcohol, Smoking, and Substance Involvement Screening Test, ASSIST for substance use; and Self Reporting Questionnaire, SRQ-20 for mental health) were adapted and used. Respondents were selected using Simple random sampling technique. Data were collected, cleaned, entered and analysed by using SPSS version 20. Descriptive statistics (frequency, percentage, standard deviation (SD), and mean; and Inferential statistics (independent sample t-test, one way ANOVA, and Pearson) were applied and a p value of < 0.05 was considered to determine the significance level of the variables. The prevalence of mental health disorder among undergraduate students were found to be 48.3%. Besides, the study also revealed that the prevalence of alcoholism, chat chewing and using tobacco products were 28.6%, 22.5% and 10.8% respectively. However, the correlation between substance abuse and mental health showed that mental health was not significantly correlated with tobacco, alcohol and chat chewing. Generally, the study found that the prevalence of mental health illness and substance use (i.e, alcoholism, chat chewing and cigarette smoking among the students was relatively high. Hence, the university should establish a well-structured guidance and counselling centre and services to support students with mental health problems and substance use.

description: This study was undertaken to determine the extent to which instructional objectives were measured by departmentalized teacher made final examinations. Teacher-made examinations at Woldia College of Teacher Education weight up to forty (40%) percentage of a student’s grade point average almost for all semester courses. The study used the descriptive research design. The total number of sample test papers (18 in number) taken comprise 50% of the total final departmental examinations given in the semester. As source of data both interview and open-ended type of questionnaire that was developed to analysis exam paper were used. Six department heads were selected and interviewed purposefully. For the analysis purpose, this study mainly used qualitative analysis; simple descriptive statistical analysis that is simple percentage was also used. The major findings of the study were: 1. all sampled final examination papers didn’t measure, synthesis and evaluation and practical skills capabilities of trainees.2. The content validity of sampled examination papers seemed to be low because all instructors didn’t use table of specifications while preparing their final exams. Questions designed for final examinations were not inclusive in terms of assessing from simple to higher order learning outcomes. Based on the above findings, the researcher recommended the following points. Teachers must undergo periodic seminar-workshop on measurement and evaluation with emphasis on test construction, item analysis, test validation and administration to enhance the teachers' capability of producing valid and reliable test.

description: This thesis investigates the role of inflammation in driving autoimmune disease by utilising an experimental animal model of lupus. The findings suggest that therapeutic agents targeting mediators of inflammation may be an effective adjunct therapy, and demonstrate that consuming a diet high in fibre can moderate systemic inflammation and prevent kidney damage. This work also highlights the important regulatory role of the immune cell receptor CD11b in controlling the progression of inflammation and autoimmune disease. Altogether these studies offer distinct prospects for improving current lupus treatment.

description: This study surveyed English as a Foreign Language (EFL) writing teachers‟ and their first-year students‟ perceptions, preferences and practices of written corrective feedback techniques in improving writing accuracy. The subjects of the study were EFL writing instructors who were offering the Basic Writing/Sophomore English course at Wollo University and their first year students. To achieve the objectives of the study, data were gathered by using questionnaires from 60 randomly selected students and 11 writing teachers. Results indicated that all the writing instructors and their students perceived corrective feedback as very important in improving written accuracy. To this effect, most of the students preferred to have unfocused corrective feedback (UFCF), but most of the writing teachers believed focused corrective feedback (FCF) to be more effective. In addition, a majority of the students preferred to have direct corrective feedback (DCF) followed by a combination of direct and indirect corrective feedback (IDCF) whereas a majority of the teachers believed that a combination of DCF and IDCF could be more effective. Regarding to practice, a majority of the students indicated that their writing teachers were most frequently employing DCF; on the other hand, most of the writing teachers reported that they were most frequently practicing a combination of DCF and IDCF. Besides, most of the students indicated that UFCF was most frequently employed while most of the writing teachers said that they most frequently exercised FCF. It could, therefore, be seen that the writing teachers were practicing what they perceived to be effective. However, there were several mismatches between what the teachers said to have been practicing and what the students said to have been receiving. In addition, there were some mismatches between what the teachers perceived as effective and what the students believed as effective. This indicates the presence of some communication gaps between teachers and students regarding what CF techniques are practiced on the students‟ written pieces and why.

description: Background This study investigates individual and regional determinants of worries about inadequate medical treatment in case of a COVID-19 infection, an important indicator of mental wellbeing in pandemic times as it potentially affects the compliance with mitigation measures and the willingness to get vaccinated. The analyses shed light on the following questions: Are there social inequalities in worries about inadequate medical treatment in case of a COVID-19 infection? What is the role of the regional spread of COVID-19 infections and regional healthcare capacities? Methods Based on data derived from the German Socioeconomic Panel (SOEP), a representative sample of the German population aged 18 years and over, we estimated multilevel logistic regression models with individual-level (level 1) and regional-level (level 2) variables. The regional variables of interest were (a) the number of COVID-19 infections, (b) the number of hospital beds as an overall measure of the regional healthcare capacities, and (c) the number of free intensive care units as a measure of the actual capacities for treating patients with severe courses of COVID-19. Results Women, older respondents, persons with migrant background and those with a lower socioeconomic status were more likely to report worries about inadequate medical treatment in case of a COVID-19 infection. Moreover, respondents with chronic illness, lower subjective health and those who consider COVID-19 as a threat for their own health were more likely to report worries. In addition, also regional characteristics were relevant. Worries were more common in poorer regions with higher COVID-19 infections and worse health infrastructure as indicated by the number of hospital beds. Conclusions The analysis not only indicates that several social groups are more concerned about inadequate medical treatment in case of a COVID-19 infection, but also highlights the need for considering regional-level influences, such as the spread of the virus, poverty rates and healthcare infrastructure, when analyzing the social and health-related consequences of the pandemic.

description: Different research result indicates that there are different factors affecting the satisfaction of employees both internal and external. Among different factors the organizations’ human resource management practice is the major one. This study aimed to assess the effect of human resource management practice on employees’ job satisfaction particularly within private and public commercial banks found in Dessie and Kombolcha Town. Then to reveal the effects of HRM practices the researcher selected five independent variables (training and development, reward and compensation, performance appraisal, employee participation and recruitment and selection) of human resource management practices on the dependent variable (employees’ job satisfaction). The study was conducted in 6 private and 4 public owned commercial banks using purposive sampling (based on their work experience and their willingness to be a part of the stud). Based on Yeman (1967) sample size determination formula, out of the total number of 375 employees 264 samples were determined (189 from public owned commercial banks and 76 samples from private owned commercial banks). This study used explanatory research design since it seeks to establish the relationship and impact of HRM practices on employees’ job satisfaction. To collect data from the respondents the study was used primary sources of data. The 5 point likert scale questioner was used to collect date in this study. To find out the effect of the independent variables on the dependent variable the study used multiple regression analysis. The research found out that out of the five independent variables (reward and compensation, performance appraisal, employee participation and recruitment and selection had a significant and positive relationship with employees’ job satisfaction). Based on the finding, it is better to participate employees in decision making process, establishing good and fair recruitment and compensation practice, enhancing the recruitment and selection process and implementing job related performance appraisal result and linking the result with incentives.

subject: FOS: Clinical medicine

description: Belimumab, a new drug targeting a molecule named BAFF, is efficient in some patients suffering from an incurable illness called lupus. No tool is available enabling physicians to select patients who could benefit from belimumab. BAFF and/or related molecules, found in the blood or urine of patients, are associated with activity of lupus and a related illness called primary Sjögren’s syndrome. Specific associations of BAFF and other molecules were found with lupus manifestations involving kidney, joints, skin or brain. Ethnicity appears to influence some of these associations. Combining measurement of molecules may help selecting patients who may benefit from belimumab, or define new molecule(s) to target.

description: We show that the HOMFLY polynomials for torus knots T[m,n] in all fundamental representations are equal to the Hall-Littlewood polynomials in representation which depends on m, and with quantum parameter, which depends on n. This makes the long-anticipated interpretation of Wilson averages in 3d Chern-Simons theory as characters precise, at least for the torus knots, and calls for further studies in this direction. This fact is deeply related to Hall-Littlewood-MacDonald duality of character expansion of superpolynomials found in arXiv:1201.3339. In fact, the relation continues to hold for extended polynomials, but the symmetry between m and n is broken, then m is the number of strands in the braid.

description: Leucocyte migration is central to the generation of effective immunity. Notably, dendritic cells (DCs) must migrate from the periphery to the lymph nodes (LNs) to present pathogen-derived antigen to naïve T cells, which themselves must recirculate between lymph nodes to increase the chance of recognition of their cognate antigen. Molecules and cellular components that regulate leucocyte trafficking are therefore essential to allow efficient migration to occur. For example, L-selectin and integrins are important adhesion molecules and cytoskeletal rearrangement is important for dynamic changes in cell morphology during migration. Another type of molecule well known to regulate migration and adhesion in non-immune cells are the tetraspanins: a family of integral membrane proteins, known to be important organisers of the cell membrane. This project uses reverse genetics and in vivo models to determine the function of the two uniquely leucocyte-expressed tetraspanins CD37 and CD53, and reveals that these tetraspanins have a common role in regulating the migratory capability of leucocytes. The first study of the immunophenotype of the novel CD53-/- mouse is presented, showing compelling evidence for an unprecedented function of tetraspanin CD53 in the regulation of L-selectin, through a metalloproteinase-dependent mechanism, and thus this tetraspanin has roles in lymphocyte homing and inflammation. Further work on the CD37-/- mouse illustrates a function for CD37 in promoting DC migration from the periphery to the LNs, mediated through regulation of cytoskeletal rearrangement by Rho GTPases. Thus, I can now demonstrate that tetraspanins not only regulate non-immune cell migration, but also leucocyte migration. Leucocyte-specific tetraspanins, CD37 and CD53 can mediate DC migration from the periphery to LNs and naïve lymphocyte recirculation, respectively.

description: Detailed experimental data for physisorption potential-energy curves of H2 on low-indexed faces of Cu challenge theory. Recently, density-functional theory has been developed to also account for nonlocal correlation effects, including van der Waals forces. We show that one functional, denoted vdW-DF2, gives a potential-energy curve promisingly close to the experiment-derived physisorptionenergy curve. The comparison also gives indications for further improvements of the functionals.

description: Weak-gravitational-lensing distortions to the intensity pattern of 21-cm radiation from the dark ages can be decomposed geometrically into curl and curl-free components. Lensing by primordial gravitational waves induces a curl component, while the contribution from lensing by density fluctuations is strongly suppressed. Angular fluctuations in the 21-cm background extend to very small angular scales, and measurements at different frequencies probe different shells in redshift space. There is thus a huge trove of information with which to reconstruct the curl component of the lensing field, allowing tensor-to-scalar ratios conceivably as small as r ~ 10^{-9} - far smaller than those currently accessible - to be probed.

description: Ο συχνότερος καρκίνος στις γυναίκες είναι εκείνος του μαστού, συνεπώς η προστασία της υγείας στηρίζεται στην πρόληψή του για την επιτυχή αντιμετώπισή του. Κυριότερο όπλο είναι η πρώιμη διάγνωση συνεπώς απαιτείται συνεχής διερεύνηση της φυσικής κατάστασης αμφοτέρων των μαζικών αδένων σε τακτά χρονικά διαστήματα. Κάθε δε εύρημα οδηγεί σε περαιτέρω καθορισμό των κανόνων ελέγχου με τελικό στόχο την αποτελεσματική και άνευ ιδιαίτερων απωλειών προστασίας της ζωής του εξεταζόμενου. Τα τελευταία χρόνια στην απεικόνιση των μαζικών αδένων πρωτεύοντα ρόλο στην διάγνωση του καρκίνου του μαστού, κατέχει η τουλάχιστον ετήσια (αν μη τι άλλο) παρακολούθησή τους μέσω μαστογραφίας (αναλογική, ψηφιακή και μαγνητική) η οποία ανάλογα με τα ευρήματα ενισχύεται με υπερηχογράφημα και αν χρειαστεί ιστολογική εξέταση. Οι εμφανιζόμενες κατά την μαστογραφία μικροαποτιτανώσεις ανάλογα με το μέγεθος, το σχήμα και τη θέση τους μπορούν να οδηγήσουν σε περαιτέρω ή μη, διερεύνηση και στην αντιμετώπιση οποιασδήποτε απόκλισης από το φυσιολογικό, αν χρειαστεί και ανάλογα της περίπτωσης με ορμονοθεραπεία, χημειοθεραπεία, ακτινοθεραπεία ή και χειρουργική επέμβαση. Μελετήθηκαν 5 περιστατικά που εμφανίζουν ινοκυστική μαστοπάθεια, πλασματοκυτταρική μαστίτιδα, αρχόμενο πορογενές καρκίνωμα, πορογενές διηθητικό καρκίνωμα, λιπονέκρωση μετά από χειρουργείο. Κατά την μαστογραφία η ύπαρξη ύποπτων ευρημάτων με ή χωρίς αποτιτανώσεις, ανάλογα της περίπτωσης, οδηγεί σε περαιτέρω διερεύνηση και αντιμετώπισή των. Κατά συνέπεια η ορθή ακολουθία του πρωτοκόλλου απεικόνισης στο μαζικό αδένα οδηγεί στην ορθή διάγνωση και την κατά το δυνατό καλύτερη δυνατή αντιμετώπιση.
RAGE, adipose derived estrogens and dietary AGEs; interactions in obesity induced kidney disease

description: Obesity is now commonly seen worldwide and across all age groups. Obesity is the result of excessive nutrient intake often from sources which are highly processed which have a high energy-to-nutrient ratio. These dietary excuses are then compounded by decreased physical activity levels. Whilst these aetiological influences are thought to be easily modifiable, the reality is that individuals are becoming increasingly over-weight and obesity related diseases are posing more problems than ever before. Obesity has many metabolic consequences including, insulin resistance and predisposition for the development of chronic diseases such as cancers, autoimmune diseases, and type 2 diabetes (T2D). Diabetes then incurs further vascular complications in organs that have intricate microvascular networks such as those within, neurons, eyes and kidneys, leading to gangrenous limbs and amputations, cataracts and blindness, renal failure. Of course the ultimate complication of diabetes is early death, normally as a result of cardiac disease and heart failure. Receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) and its modulation of downstream pathways are recognised pathological contributors to the vascular complications of diabetes including renal disease. There is increasing evidence that obesity is an independent risk factor for kidney disease, in particular in the context of type 2 diabetes. However, the mechanisms by which obesity contributes to kidney disease remain to be determined. Estradiol (17-β-estradiol) has been shown to confer protection against renal and cardiovascular disease when it is the major biologically active estrogen. In obesity, white adipose tissue deposits secrete another estrogen isoform called estrone, which alters the balance of estrogens. Imbalances in estradiol to estrone are the development of obesity related diseases. At the time of beginning this thesis, there were no drugs available for the specific treatment of obesity related renal diseases. Some treatments are borrowed from type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease and have modest effects on excretion of albumin or target blood pressure lowering pathways. Others directly target obesity, leading to weight loss although these are often temporary. Therefore this thesis examines the development of obesity related renal disease. I have examined the role of excessive adipose tissue deposition and the ability of estrogens to modulate the receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE), to discover potential therapeutic targets to control the growing problem of obesity related kidney disease.

description: This is the first body of research to examine the interplay of affective empathy and gender equality through the lens of social constructionism and behaviour change theory. The overarching objective of the doctoral research is to characterise affective empathy and gender equality with the goal of exploring whether affective empathy can advance gender equality. In this thesis, gender equality and empathy are defined and reviewed. Then, the relationships between gender equality and affective empathy is examined quantitatively, theoretically and qualitatively.

description: It is widely suspected that AGN activity ultimately sweeps galaxies clear of their gas. We work out the observable properties required to achieve this. Large-scale AGN-driven outflows should have kinetic luminosities $\sim η\le/2 \sim 0.05\le$ and momentum rates $\sim 20\le/c$, where $\le$ is the Eddington luminosity of the central black hole and $η\sim 0.1$ its radiative accretion efficiency. This creates an expanding two-phase medium in which molecular species coexist with hot gas, which can persist after the central AGN has switched off. This picture predicts outflow velocities $\sim 1000 - 1500$ km\,s$^{-1}$ and mass outflow rates up to $4000 \msun\,{\rm yr}^{-1}$ on kpc scales, fixed mainly by the host galaxy velocity dispersion (or equivalently black hole mass). All these features agree with those of outflows observed in galaxies such as Mrk231. This strongly suggests that AGN activity is what sweeps galaxies clear of their gas on a dynamical timescale and makes them red and dead. We suggest future observational tests of this picture.
