Design of a geographical visualization-based interface for a community academic knowledge exchange
Creators: name: Augustine, Billy Selvaseelan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2019

description: Bridging the existing divide between the members of the DTES community and academic research was the overarching motivation in this research project. With the members of the DTES community as the primary users, an easily accessible map-based visual interface was planned and designed as an alternative point of entry to the existing Downtown Eastside Research Access Portal (DTES-RAP) to access community-based research. The author commenced the research by conducting a literature review to study the theories of community-based research that corresponded to the goals of the research. Here, journal articles dealing with aspects of community engagement, cultural sensitivity, geographic visualization, community mapping, searching as learning were among those that were studied. Following this study, textual analysis was done on journal articles about the DTES that were available through the DTES-RAP, to bring out locational references and main topic areas addressed in each study. An iterative design-based approach with stages such as empathize, define, ideate, prototype and test, was adopted. The resulting connections between organizations, authors and topics were represented in a map-based visual interface, designed to promote learning through exploration. Following the prototyping stage, a pilot study of the interactive version of the interface was conducted with graduate students of the University of British Columbia. On receiving the approval of the UBC Behavioural Research Ethics Board, a small-scale usability study was conducted with the members of the DTES community to evaluate the current design and identify areas for improvement. Some conclusions have been drawn and recommendations made based on the knowledge gained through this study.

description: Mechanosensitive channels are ion channels activated by membrane tension. We investigate the influence of bacterial mechanosensitive channels spatial distribution on activation (gating). Based on elastic short-range interactions we map this physical process onto an Ising-like model, which enables us to predict the clustering of channels and the effects of clustering on their gating. We conclude that the aggregation of channels and the consequent interactions among them leads to a global cooperative gating behaviour with potentially dramatic consequences for the cell.

description: The motivation of the students is an essential component in their good performance and in the assimilation of the contents of the various disciplines they receive during their career. Teachers, in search of arousing the interest of students and as part of their methodological work, constantly seek new teaching resources that enrich the teaching-learning experience. Augmented Reality, as a teaching resource, has contributed to arouse true interest among students. This statement has been corroborated by different international studies that show high levels of satisfaction when students use this technology and a significant increase in motivation levels when students are immersed in training activities with this technology. Together with motivation, it has been shown that the use of Augmented Reality enhances more motivational, collaborative and interactive training scenarios and helps a more open and creative education. Therefore, the objective of this research was to raise the motivation of the students, as well as the formation of competencies in the Computer Architecture course of the Computer Engineering degree through a didactic tool that made use of the Augmented Reality. This tool was applied to the 2nd year of the aforementioned career and after a comparative study of the results obtained by the students during 3 courses, including the current one, there were evidenced increases in motivation and appropriation of skills, expressed in the performance evaluations obtained.

description: We consider pairs of quantum observables (POVMs) and analyze the relation between the notions of non-disturbance, joint measurability and commutativity. We specify conditions under which these properties coincide or differ---depending for instance on the interplay between the number of outcomes and the Hilbert space dimension or on algebraic properties of the effect operators. We also show that (non-)disturbance is in general not a symmetric relation and that it can be decided and quantified by means of a semidefinite program.

description: Scientific data sets continue to increase in both size and complexity. In the past, dedicated graphics systems at supercomputing centers were required to visualize large data sets, but as the price of commodity graphics hardware has dropped and its capability has increased, it is now possible, in principle, to view large complex data sets on a single workstation. To do this in practice, an investigator will need software that is written to take advantage of the relevant graphics hardware. The Viewpoints visualization package described herein is an example of such software. Viewpoints is an interactive tool for exploratory visual analysis of large, high-dimensional (multivariate) data. It leverages the capabilities of modern graphics boards (GPUs) to run on a single workstation or laptop. Viewpoints is minimalist: it attempts to do a small set of useful things very well (or at least very quickly) in comparison with similar packages today. Its basic feature set includes linked scatter plots with brushing, dynamic histograms, normalization and outlier detection/removal. Viewpoints was originally designed for astrophysicists, but it has since been used in a variety of fields that range from astronomy, quantum chemistry, fluid dynamics, machine learning, bioinformatics, and finance to information technology server log mining. In this article, we describe the Viewpoints package and show examples of its usage.

A TRAMP-derived orthotopic prostate syngeneic (TOPS) cancer model for investigating oncolytic viral therapy and anti-tumor treatments
Creators: name: Lardizabal, Justin James Lardizabal
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2019

description: Prostate cancer is the most common non-skin malignancy and the second leading cause of cancer-related death in North American men. Patients diagnosed with localized disease are usually treated with surgery or radiotherapy; however, many of patients are diagnosed with a more advanced disease. Patients with advanced prostate cancer are primarily treated with hormone ablation therapy. Initially, most of these patients respond well to treatment; however, over time the tumor becomes unresponsive and develops into castration resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Current therapies for patients with CRPC, which include chemotherapy, have shown little effectiveness, therefore, alternative therapies that are more effective against advanced prostate cancer and CRPC are needed. Mouse models are essential for expanding our understanding of prostate cancer initiation, development, and progression. In addition, they are vital for the pre-clinical development of new treatments for advanced prostate cancer. We developed a TRAMP-derived orthotopic prostate syngeneic (TOPS) mouse model where cells derived from a TRAMP mouse express Luciferase and are orthotopically injected into immunocompetent mice. This established mouse model will be a valuable tool when developing and screening treatments for prostate cancer. This model produces mice with a functional immune system, tumor and metastases are reliably established, tumors can be monitored during their development and after exposure to potential therapeutics with bioluminescence imaging, and tumors are produced in a short period of time.Oncolytic viral therapy offers a novel treatment for patients with advanced prostate cancer and CRPC. An ideal tumor-specific virus can preferentially infect and replicate in a tumor cell, resulting in amplification of the virus and subsequent lysis of the tumor cell while leaving the normal cells unaffected. In this study, a transcriptionally and translationally controlled oncolytic herpes virus, AU27 was used in combination with Docetaxel. The combination acted synergistically against prostate cancer cells. AU27 replication was not affected by Docetaxel, however, the combination enhanced Docetaxel activity, determined by increased apoptosis. In vivo, AU27 was effective against TOPS mouse model tumors, reducing tumor size and increasing survival. The TOPS mouse model is a novel model that can be used to assess novel therapies against prostate cancer.

Subjects: subject: Probability (math.PR)

description: This is a continuation of a project on large deviations for the empirical measures of zeros of random holomorphic sections of random line bundles over a Riemann surface X. In a previous article with O. Zeitouni (arXiv:0904.4271), we proved an LDP for random polynomials in the genus zero case. In higher genus, there is a Picard variety of line bundles and so the line bundle L is a random variable as well as the section s. The space of pairs (L, s) is known as the "vortex moduli space". The zeros of (L, s) fill out the configuration space $X^{(N)}$ of $N$ points of $X$. The LDP shows that the configurations concentrate at one equilibrium measure exponentially fast. The new features of the proof involve Abel-Jacobi theory, the prime form and bosonization.

description: Postoperative endodontic pain is an unexpected complication with a high prevalence which can present in different degrees of severity and with a persistence that can lead to chronic pain. This type of pain can be caused by different factors ranging from the patient's own conditions to the procedures used during root canal therapy. Currently, both research and clinical practice have focused on resolving the acute phase of pain, thus avoiding a possible progression to chronicity. In the literature, multiple approaches have been presented as treatments for this kind of pain, highlighting a clear trend in articles on endodontic instrumentation over the use of drugs or alternative therapies for this purpose. The diverse and heterogeneous information found in the literature on how to address postoperative endodontic pain can be a confounding factor for both clinicians and patients themselves when agreeing on the ideal way to treat and avoid the appearance of this.The reason for the following research is to identify the assessment and therapeutic management strategies available in the literature, through a Scoping Review guided by the Joanna Briggs Institute protocol, complementing with the Prisma-ScR guidelines. A search will be carried out in Pubmed, Scopus and Web of Science to later carry out a synthesis of the literature that contributes to a vision of current clinical behaviors, in addition to identifying information gaps that can be resolved in future research.
The impact of corporate social responsibility on financial performance: an evidence from the Pakistani banking sector

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: This investigation has focused to study corporate social responsibility (CSR) and it impact on financial performance of Pakistani retail banks. CSR is popular practice by many organisations in developed country. The concept of corporate social responsibility has evolved in last few decades (Carroll, 1999). However, the concept is relatively new in developing countries like Pakistan. Corporate social responsibility (CSR) has been define as the level of ethical accountability that possibly will be recognized organisations ahead of uncomplicated compliance to the rules and regulation of the government (Kilcullen & Kooistra , 1999). Many researchers have studied about CSR relationship with financial performance but there are only few studies in context of developing countries. Therefore, this investigation fills the gap. There are different definitions and theories of corporate social responsibility included in the study. For example, stakeholder’s theory and agency theory. Numerous researchers argue that an organisation can attain advantages by engaging with societal activities (Idowu & Papasolomou, 2007). There are several reasons and motivations behind an organisation participating in CSR. Some organisations engage with societal activities to have good impression in perception of customers, investors and suppliers. Moreover, some scholars support the positive relationship between CSR and financial performance while some do not agree with it. Few researchers support the u-shaped relation between CSR and FP. One of the popular theories on the CSR pyramid was presented by Carroll (1991). The pyramid has four elements which are philanthropic, ethical, environmental and economic responsibilities. These responsibilities are constructed and linked with each other. Each responsibility in a CSR pyramid is giving support to other responsibility. The conceptual framework of this investigation was constructed based on CSR pyramid. The researcher used mixed method approach and stratified sampling technique to collect data. The researcher used SPSS and NVivo software to analyse the data. The results indicated that there is a positive correlation amongst CSR and financial performance of Pakistani banks.

description: We studied the field-induced magnetic structures of the Tb2Ti2O7 pyrochlore by single-crystal neutron diffraction with a magnetic field applied along a [110] axis, focusing on the influence of a small misalignment. Both induced magnetic structures with k=0 and k=(0,0,1) propagation vectors are found to be sensitive to the misalignment, which controls the magnitude and orientation of the Tb moments involved in the beta chains, with local [111] anisotropy axis perpendicular to the field. For k=0, spin-ice-like structures are observed for a misalignment of a few degrees, whereas other structures, where the Tb-beta moments flip by "melting" on the field axis, occur when the field is perfectly aligned. The field evolution of the k=0 structure is well reproduced by a molecular field model with anisotropic exchange. We give a complete symmetry analysis of the k=0 and k=(0,0,1) magnetic structures, both being described by the basis functions of single irreducible representations.

description: In molecular reactions at the microscopic level the appearance of resonances has an important influence on the reactivity. It is important to predict when a bound state transitions into a resonance and how these transitions depend on various system parameters such as internuclear distances. The dynamics of such systems are described by the time-independent Schrödinger equation and the resonances are modeled by poles of the S-matrix. Using numerical continuation methods and bifurcation theory, techniques which find their roots in the study of dynamical systems, we are able to develop efficient and robust methods to study the transitions of bound states into resonances. By applying Keller's Pseudo-Arclength continuation, we can minimize the numerical complexity of our algorithm. As continuation methods generally assume smooth and well-behaving functions and the S-matrix is neither, special care has been taken to ensure accurate results. We have successfully applied our approach in a number of model problems involving the radial Schrödinger equation.

description: Postoperative endodontic pain is an unexpected complication with a high prevalence which can present in different degrees of severity and with a persistence that can lead to chronic pain. This type of pain can be caused by different factors ranging from the patient's own conditions to the procedures used during root canal therapy. Currently, both research and clinical practice have focused on resolving the acute phase of pain, thus avoiding a possible progression to chronicity. In the literature, multiple approaches have been presented as treatments for this kind of pain, highlighting a clear trend in articles on endodontic instrumentation over the use of drugs or alternative therapies for this purpose. The diverse and heterogeneous information found in the literature on how to address postoperative endodontic pain can be a confounding factor for both clinicians and patients themselves when agreeing on the ideal way to treat and avoid the appearance of this.The reason for the following research is to identify the assessment and therapeutic management strategies available in the literature, through a Scoping Review guided by the Joanna Briggs Institute protocol, complementing with the Prisma-ScR guidelines. A search will be carried out in Pubmed, Scopus and Web of Science to later carry out a synthesis of the literature that contributes to a vision of current clinical behaviors, in addition to identifying information gaps that can be resolved in future research.

description: We study the reduction of 11- dimensional M-theory to (3 +1) dimensions with four conserved supersymmetric charges by following the work of B. Acharya and E. Witten [arXiv:hep-th/0109152]. We first review the various 10D superstrings models, their compactifications to lower dimensions, string/string dualities and links with M-theory. Then, we study compactifications of M-theory first on K3 with ADE singularities; and second on both regular and singular real 7-dimensional G2 manifolds. Others features, such as non abelian 4D quiver gauge models, are also discussed.

description: In the given work the plane curvilinear rod is considered. Three methods of calculation of one of its elastic moduli are considered. For calculation each method uses connection between translations and rotations in the rod theory and translations in the three-dimensional theory. During calculations of the required modulus, we use different coefficients, which are calculated with various combinations of translational and rotational components in the rod theory that were found in several sections. Determination of the most suitable method of calculation of the required modulus is a result of work.

description: Among the theories beyond the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics Supersymmetry (SUSY) provides an excellent dark matter (DM) candidate, the neutralino. One clear prediction of cosmology is the annihilation cross section of DM particles, assuming them to be a thermal relic from the early universe. In most of the parameter space of Supersymmetry the annihilation cross section is too small compared with the prediction of cosmology. However, for large values of the tan beta parameter the annihilation through s-channel pseudoscalar Higgs exchange yields the correct relic density in practically the whole range of possible SUSY masses up to the few TeV range. The required values of tan beta are typically around 50, i.e. of the order of top and bottom mass ratio, which happens to be also the range allowing for Yukawa unification in a Grand Unified Theory with gauge coupling unification. For such large values of tan beta the associated production of the heavier Higgses, which is enhanced by tan beta squared, becomes three orders of magnitude larger than the production of a simlar SM-like Higgs and could be observable as one of the first hints of new physics at the LHC.

description: Rationale: Interstitial lung abnormalities (ILAs) are associated with the highest genetic risk locus for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF); however, the extent to which there are unique associations among individuals with ILAs or additional overlap with IPF is not known.Objectives: To perform a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of ILAs.Methods: ILAs and a subpleural-predominant subtype were assessed on chest computed tomography (CT) scans in the AGES (Age Gene/Environment Susceptibility), COPDGene (Genetic Epidemiology of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease [COPD]), Framingham Heart, ECLIPSE (Evaluation of COPD Longitudinally to Identify Predictive Surrogate End-points), MESA (Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis), and SPIROMICS (Subpopulations and Intermediate Outcome Measures in COPD Study) studies. We performed a GWAS of ILAs in each cohort and combined the results using a meta-analysis. We assessed for overlapping associations in independent GWASs of IPF.Measurements and Main Results: Genome-wide genotyping data were available for 1,699 individuals with ILAs and 10,274 control subjects. The MUC5B (mucin 5B) promoter variant rs35705950 was significantly associated with both ILAs (P = 2.6 × 10-27) and subpleural ILAs (P = 1.6 × 10-29). We discovered novel genome-wide associations near IPO11 (rs6886640, P = 3.8 × 10-8) and FCF1P3 (rs73199442, P = 4.8 × 10-8) with ILAs, and near HTRE1 (rs7744971, P = 4.2 × 10-8) with subpleural-predominant ILAs. These novel associations were not associated with IPF. Among 12 previously reported IPF GWAS loci, five (DPP9, DSP, FAM13A, IVD, and MUC5B) were significantly associated (P < 0.05/12) with ILAs.Conclusions: In a GWAS of ILAs in six studies, we confirmed the association with a MUC5B promoter variant and found strong evidence for an effect of previously described IPF loci; however, novel ILA associations were not associated with IPF. These findings highlight common genetically driven biologic pathways between ILAs and IPF, and also suggest distinct ones.

description: Rationale: Proteolysis is a key aspect of the lung's innate immune system. Proteases, including neutrophil elastase and MMPs (matrix metalloproteases), modulate cell signaling, inflammation, tissue remodeling, and leukocyte recruitment via cleavage of their target proteins. Excessive proteolysis occurs with chronic tobacco use and is causative for bronchiectasis and emphysema. The effect of e-cigarettes (vaping) on proteolysis is unknown. Objectives: We used protease levels as biomarkers of harm to determine the impact of vaping on the lung. Methods: We performed research bronchoscopies on healthy nonsmokers, cigarette smokers, and e-cigarette users (vapers), and determined protease levels in BAL. In parallel, we studied the effects of e-cigarette components on protease secretion in isolated human blood neutrophils and BAL-derived macrophages. We also analyzed the nicotine concentration in induced sputum and BAL. Measurements and Main Results: Neutrophil elastase, MMP-2, and MMP-9 activities and protein levels were equally elevated in both vapers' and smokers' BAL relative to nonsmokers. In contrast, antiprotease levels were unchanged. We also found that exposure of isolated neutrophils and macrophages to nicotine elicited dose-dependent increases in protease release. After vaping, measurable levels of nicotine were detectable in sputum and BAL, which corresponded to the half-maximal effective concentration values for protease release seen in immune cells. Conclusions:We conclude that vaping induces nicotine-dependent protease release from resident pulmonary immune cells. Thus, chronic vaping disrupts the protease-antiprotease balance by increasing proteolysis in lung, which may place vapers at risk of developing chronic lung disease. These data indicate that vaping may not be safer than tobacco smoking.
