Essays in applied econometrics

description: Chapter 1 develops an empirical two-sided matching model with endogenous pre-investment. The model can be used to measure the impact of frictions in labour markets using a single cross-section of matched employer-employee data. The observed matching of workers to firms is the outcome of a discrete, two-sided matching process where firms with heterogeneous preferences over education sequentially choose workers according to an index correlated with worker preferences over firms. The distribution of education arises in equilibrium from a Bayesian game: workers, knowing the distribution of worker and firm types, invest in education prior to the matching process. I propose an inference procedure combining discrete choice methods with simulation. Counterfactual analysis using Canadian data shows that changes in matching frictions can lead to economically significant equilibrium changes in both inequality and the probability of investing in higher education. These effects are more pronounced when worker and firm attributes are complements in the match surplus function. In many economic settings, agents behave similarly because they share information with one another. Information-sharing relations among agents can be modeled as a network, and the strategic interactions among them as a game on a network. Chapter 2, coauthored with Kyungchul Song and Nathan Canen, develops a tractable empirical model of social interactions where each agent - without seeing the full information network - shares information with their neighbors and best responds to the other players based on simple beliefs about their strategies. We provide conditions on the information networks and beliefs of agents such that their best responses exhibit economically intuitive features and desirable external validity relative to equilibrium models of social interaction. Moreover, the setup admits asymptotic inference without requiring that the researcher observes all the players in the game, nor that the they know precisely the sampling process. Chapter 3 discusses how discrete distributions of unobserved heterogeneity can be identified using information on sample attrition. Although attrition is often seen as a source of selection problems, we argue that it can also be used to solve selection problems - even in the absence of covariates or panel data.
How visual art -making activities impact the overall wellbeing of retired seniors : a case study of Creek Springs Retirement Center in Vancouver, Canada
Creators: name: Mugambi, Lucy
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2018

description: The aim of this thesis is to inquire into how engagement in visual art-making activities can impact the overall wellbeing of elderly seniors in retirement centres. My basic interest was to explore the possibilities and limitations of visual art-making activities in the lives of the seniors. As an artist, researcher and teacher, I was guided by an a/r/tographical case study methodology of research. Using living inquiry as focus, I created openings, allowed slippages and gave way for loss, shift, and rupture to create presence through absence during the visual art-making activities with the seniors. The research was situated in an independent living facility in Vancouver BC whereby the elderly seniors voluntarily had an opportunity to work with various materials and tools to create visual art works. Seventeen participants were involved in three workshops that took two hours each. As the researcher I documented the proceedings through detailed field notes, photographs, audial recording and videos. The process of art-making provided the seniors with an opportunity to relate to their lives. Art-making activities have the power to encourage conversations about the present, the past and the future thus giving hope and direction to the seniors. Visual art- making activities elicited humour leading to social enjoyment, boosted self-confidence and raised self-esteem for the seniors. This research has demonstrated that making with materials, social connectedness and the flow in the process of making are essential attributes that can contribute to the overall wellbeing of the elderly. It was also clear that completion is not an end of learning, instead it is a state of continuing change that invites the seniors to explore more creative possibilities. The study hopes to share concerns raised by the senior residents and hence benefit the larger community as programs are designed for retirement centres. This may eventually generate guidelines for directing visual art-making activities for the seniors in retirement centres.

description: This paper establishes bounds on the performance of empirical risk minimization for large-dimensional linear regression. We generalize existing results by allowing the data to be dependent and heavy-tailed. The analysis covers both the cases of identically and heterogeneously distributed observations. Our analysis is nonparametric in the sense that the relationship between the regressand and the regressors is not specified. The main results of this paper show that the empirical risk minimizer achieves the optimal performance (up to a logarithmic factor) in a dependent data setting.
A Theatrical Performance of Vernon Lee’s The Ballet of the Nations
Creators: name: Blackburn-Daniels, Sally
Publisher: name: Skenè. Journal of Theatre and Drama Studies
Year: 2020

description: Vernon Lee’s short narrative piece The Ballet of the Nations (1915) was written after the sudden and shocking collapse of a long period of peace that had prevailed in Europe for forty-four years. In the text, Lee studies the developing war not as it is fought on the battlefields, but as it penetrates, occupies and dominates the civilian mind. How, she asks, does the slaughter become filled with idealism? How does a war that is so obviously catastrophic engage the best in people, and reduce it to partisan savagery? A site-specific and bilingual adaptation of The Ballet of the Nations was performed at the Villa il Palmerino – Lee’s home for forty years – in May 2019. The international cast was directed by Greek actor and director Angeliki Papoulia (The Lobster, The Miracle of the Sargasso Sea), and by dancer and choreographer Federica Parretti. My paper will consider the genesis of this project, the relationship to its original text, and the political implications of its performance.

description: In this paper we examine whether indirect detection constraints on dark matter associated with a non-thermal history may be significantly improved when accounting for the presence of galactic substructure in the form of dark matter spikes. We find that significant constraints may be derived from the non-observation of an excess of diffuse gamma-rays and from the properties of bright gamma-ray point sources observed by the Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope, but these constraints depend sensitively on the details of the formation of the first stars and their subsequent black hole remnants. However, we also find that, especially if WIMPs annihilate primarily to quarks or gauge bosons, it is possible to extract meaningful and conservative bounds on the annihilation cross section.

title: Bilingualism as a neuroprotective factor in ageing: insights from healthy and clinical populations
Creators: name: Voits, Tom
Publisher: name: University of Reading
Year: 2025

description: In the recent decades a significant amount of research has been dedicated to study of the neurocognitive effects of bilingualism. Although most of the work in this field has been focussed on healthy young adult populations, there has recently been an increased interest in examining bilingualism in the later years of life. This trend is intensified by the discovery that bilingualism may have clinical implications; bilingualism has been shown to considerably delay Alzheimer’s dementia symptom onset and age of formal clinical diagnosis. Episodic memory decline is one of the primary symptoms of dementia. This cognitive function has been linked to bilingualism-related enhancements across the lifespan. The hippocampus, a brain structure crucial for episodic memory function, is also known to be sensitive to bilingualism-induced adaptation, at least in younger populations. The aim of this thesis is to employ a more granular approach to bilingualism, as opposed to more commonly used monolingual vs. bilingual between-groups comparisons, in an investigation of the impact bilingualism might have on declining neurocognition in clinical and healthy ageing. Three studies are presented. The first two studies empirically examine the effects of bilingualism on episodic memory function and the hippocampal structure in healthy older adults and individuals with an MCI diagnosis. Results reveal bilingualism, and especially active engagement in second language use, to offer neuroprotection of the hippocampus in the older age, although behavioural differences may not always be observed. The third study is an epistemological investigation raising the question of whether bilingualism might be a more universal protective factor against cognitive and neural decline in other progressive neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson’s, Huntington’s and multiple sclerosis. This thesis highlights the need to further evaluate the effects of bilingualism by considering it as a generalised neuroprotective factor in clinical ageing, by fusing brain data and behavioural outcomes.
Stony Limits and Envious Walls: Metamorphosing Ovid in Romeo and Juliet and A Midsummer Night’s Dream

Year: 2020

description: This paper examines the story of Pyramus and Thisbe, which entered the European literary tradition by way of the fourth book of Ovid’s Metamorphoses, as it informs Romeo and Juliet and A Midsummer Night’s Dream. The discussion of the manner in which Ovid’s tragic tale haunts these Shakespearean works involves a consideration of the specular relation existing between the two plays that, among other things, also helps to explain some of the apparently anomalous elements in each. Attention is given to the manner in which Shakespeare’s works reflect the influence not only of the Ovidian original but of the different versions of the tale elaborated by Chaucer and Golding, and in particular to the emblematic image of the wall which, variously developed by his predecessors, plays a crucial role in both of Shakespeare’s plays.

Piety on Stage: Popular Drama and the Public Life of Early Modern Jewish Confraternities
Creators: name: Andreatta, Michela

Year: 2020

description: In the summer of 1720, in the ghetto of Ferrara, the members of the devotional confraternity Ḥadashim la-bekarim (Daily Renewal) organized and staged public readings of Moses Zacuto’s dramatic poem Tofteh ‘arukh (Hell Arrayed). The readings, which were held after midnight and included musical accompaniment by an instrumental ensemble, afforded the opportunity for the entire community to channel religious and aesthetical impulses into a public ritual of devotion, while supplying the members of the confraternity a platform from which to popularize both their rites and the underlying learned culture. The Ferrara readings were by no means an isolated phenomenon. Marking the observance of liturgical feasts with the organization of sometimes elaborate events, in which ritual enactment and entertainment were combined, was a staple of Jewish confraternal life in seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Italy. These performances, most of which were at the semi-professional or amateur level, went from dramatized readings to cantatas, to small oratorios, and often involved purportedly composed Hebrew poetry of considerable literary merit. By reconstructing the commissioning, performance, and audience reception of some of these works, this essay explores the ways in which devotional confraternities and akin groups used dramatic and music poetry to promote confraternal rituals and gain new visibility, thus also contributing to reshape the public sphere inside the ghetto.

title: Multi-fluid modelling of dry convection
Creators: name: McIntyre, William
Publisher: name: University of Reading
Year: 2020

description: Convection schemes are a large source of error in existing climate and weather prediction models, likely because most schemes are not scale aware and because net mass transport by convection and convective memory are usually ignored. A relatively new approach called the multi-fluid method may be able to address this issue by modelling the convective updraft as a separate fluid from the rest of the atmosphere, allowing convective plumes to be modelled prognostically at any resolution. In this thesis, we investigate the properties of multi-fluid systems and create a 2-fluid model for dry convection where the fluids are defined by the sign of the vertical velocity. We derive and analyse 20 numerical schemes for transferring mass between fluids (entrainment and detrainment). Two of these schemes, which transfer the mass and fluid properties implicitly, are accurate, bounded, conserve momentum and do not increase the total energy for any timestep. We also extend the stability analysis of Thuburn et al. (2019), who showed that a Kelvin-Helmholtz-like instability exists in the 2-fluid incompressible equations with a shared pressure. By using a pressure perturbation for each fluid proportional to fluid convergence, we show that the instability is significantly suppressed. Moreover, using transfer terms between fluids which are also proportional to convergence, the instability can be removed. We also analyse a high resolution dry convection test case and show that the convergence-based pressure and transfer assumptions are accurate. By using the transfer scheme and fluid pressure anomaly proportional to velocity divergence, the 2-fluid scheme was able to transport heat more effectively than the single-fluid scheme for multi-column grey-zone resolutions. Some errors remain for the multi-column test cases because parameters were tuned for the singlecolumn set-up, for which the 2-fluid scheme is able to accurately model the dry rising bubble test case.

description: In the attempt to fill identified gaps in the literature, this research explored the views of 12 educational psychologists (EPs) around the inclusive education (IE) of students with Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) in the UK. Considering the current debates within the British socio-political context and legislative background, as well as the call for EPs to work more systemically and inclusively, this study addressed how EPs construct their views and professional experiences of inclusion and perceive their role in promoting inclusive practices in the future. The research paradigm followed a relativist ontology and a social constructionist epistemology, which are linked to a social model of disability. The study adopted a qualitative methodology: EPs’ views were gathered through individual semi-structured interviews, which were transcribed verbatim and analysed through Thematic Analysis (TA). The findings were analysed inductively and interpreted by referring to the existing literature and relevant psychological theories. A reflexive approach was maintained throughout the research and issues of trustworthiness were addressed. Despite some variability in definitions and models of inclusion, reflective of wider controversies in defining IE, the findings highlight a strong EP commitment to inclusion, underpinned by social justice, children’s rights, and valuing diversity. From the participants’ perspective, inclusion underpins most of EP practice, both at the individual and systems level. Several barriers to IE were identified, some of which concern the EP role. These led to the identification of areas for professional development, involving EPs’ sense of agency and positioning, as well as strengths related to EP practice in promoting inclusion, as EPs can play an important part in advocating for children and young people (CYP) and empowering the systems around them. Implications for practice were built in a framework, involving professional developments around the EP practice at both the individual and systems levels, as well as around EPs’ professional identity. EPs are in a unique position to foster the development of inclusive practices and this study has the potential to increase the professional awareness and self-confidence that are required to challenge existing systemic barriers to IE.
Hamlet Overseas. The Acting Technique of Edwin Booth

Publisher: name: Skenè. Journal of Theatre and Drama Studies
Year: 2020

description: Often regarded as the premiere American Shakespearean actor of the late nineteenth century, Edwin Booth (1833-1893) distinguished himself as an interpreter of Hamlet through his exceptional ability to bring his experience from life to art. From the beginning of his career, in the 1850s, he brought Shakespeare to the American scene going beyond the boundaries of the English tradition; in performing the character of the Prince of Denmark, he paved the way for a new era in American theatre. After an initial struggle to find his acting style, he became a star, from the moment he first played Hamlet in New York in 1857, through his legendary ‘hundred nights Hamlet’ in 1864-1865, to his farewell performance at the Brooklyn Academy of Music in 1891. Starting from the broader perspective of how Shakespeare entered American culture from the end of the 18th century on, the aim of this paper is to focus on Edwin Booth as one of the most acclaimed performers on the American stage and one of the most significant example of the actor-managers – from the Hallams to Edwin Forrest, and the Booths, who emerged in the early to mid-nineteenth century to largely replace the itinerant stars – who played such an important part in bringing Shakespeare to America.

Behind Multiple Masks: Leon Modena’s Diasporic Tragedy L’Ester in Seventeenth-Century Venice
Creators: name: Scordari, Chiara Carmen
Publisher: name: Skenè. Journal of Theatre and Drama Studies
Year: 2020

description: Particularly in times of crisis and historical challenges, the biblical figure of Esther has been variously interpreted as a paradigm of resistance and renewal of communitarian bonds. Esther is a creative mediator thanks to her always being the Other: the Other of man (Mordecai and Ahasuerus), of society (Persian court), and of Judaism. This paper focuses on Leon Modena’s L’Ester: Tragedia tratta dalla Sacra Scrittura (1619). Particular attention is given to Modena’s anthropological and political reading of Ester’s characters, including the suicidal queen Vashti, whose impetuousness overshadows the taciturn Esther. The central figure is Mordecai: he typifies the ‘wandering Jew’ who lives a ‘two-hats’ existence and strives to find a balance between political realism and messianic expectations. Through its characters, Modena’s Purim tragedy unveils paradoxical interlacings between despair and hope; cry of protest and prayer of prophecy; blinding passions and mediation strategies.

description: We study the $ρ$-meson spectral function in hot nuclear matter by taking into account the isospin-symmetric pion and the nucleon loops within the quantum hadrodynamics (QHD) model as well as using an effective chiral SU(3) model. The spectral function of the $ρ$ meson is studied in the mean field approximation (MFA) as well as in the relativistic Hartree (RHA) approximation. The inclusion of the nucleon loop considerably changes the $ρ$-meson spectral function. Due to a larger mass drop of $ ρ$ meson in the RHA, it is seen that the spectral function shifts towards the low invariant mass region, whereas in the MFA the spectral function is seen to be slightly shifted towards the high mass region. Moreover, while the spectral function is observed to be sharper with the nucleon-antinucleon polarization in RHA, the spectral function is seen to be broader in the MFA.

Italian Jews and Theatre in Early Modern Italy

description: At the turn of the sixteenth century, Italian Jews usually adapted some of the most common motifs cherished by non-Jewish Renaissance scholars to their speculative, scientific, and literary productions. This phenomenon may explain the development of the specific interest by Italian Jews in theatre over the following centuries. While tragedies, comedies, and other dramatic forms inspired by the revival of classical theatre were composed and performed in Italian by Jewish authors for both a Jewish and a non-Jewish audience, more traditional Jewish theatrical genres, such as the Purimspiel, were now reinterpreted, in both Hebrew and the local Judaeo-languages, to suit the new stylistic standards current among non-Jews. The growing involvement of Jews in staging activities brought to their wide renown as actors and impresarios, and to the establishment of Jewish dramatic societies.

Nocturnal Histories: Nighttime and the Jewish Temporal Imagination in Modern Hebrew Drama
Creators: name: Lipshitz, Yair
Publisher: name: Skenè. Journal of Theatre and Drama Studies
Year: 2020

description: The paper examines the utilization of night as dramatic time in modern Hebrew plays as a device to explore the meaning of Jewish history. A long Jewish religious tradition links nighttime to questions of exile and redemption and constructs it, through texts and ritual performance, as a time to reflect upon time. Modern Hebrew theatre, although often considered a secular enterprise, follows this tradition either through direct allusions or more implicitly, while also critiquing or deconstructing its premises. The plays analyzed here, ranging from the 1930s to the 2010s and varying in political stance, stage nocturnal debates regarding the meaning of time and history, but also participate in broader such debates within Israeli society. Most prominent in these plays is the tension between religiosity and secularity in the understanding of time, as they interrogate the complex relations between Zionism and traditional concepts of redemption. As such, Hebrew and Israeli theatre takes part in shaping the temporal imagination of its surrounding culture and investigating its theological undercurrents and political ramifications. The paper suggests reconsidering Israeli theatre’s relation to Jewish religious performative traditions, as the case-study of nighttime exemplifies.

title: Evaluation of ICA and parallel ICA for extracting source information from simulated EEG-fMRI signals
Creators: name: Malik, Asad
Publisher: name: University of Reading
Year: 2020

description: Parallel independent component analysis (ICA) is a framework for analysing concurrent electroencephalogram (EEG) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) signals recorded from the brain that involves performing ICA in each modality and then matching the independent components (ICs) across modalities based on their statistical similarities. Together, the matched ICs are understood to provide information about the same neural sources (i.e. functional networks), with the EEG IC providing a high resolution temporal description and the fMRI IC providing a high resolution spatial description. In this thesis, EEG ICA, fMRI ICA, and parallel ICA are evaluated in terms of their accuracy at providing source information using synthetic data generated with The Virtual Brain (Sanz-Leon et al., 2013). Two novel extensions to parallel ICA, which are matching the ICs across modalities using spatial features and mutual information, are also proposed and evaluated. The results of this work indicate that EEG ICA, fMRI ICA, and parallel ICA performances increase with the number of orthogonal sources in the absence of noise, and decrease with the level of noise dispersion when the number of sources are fixed. In the absence of noise, EEG and fMRI ICA performances do not vary largely with source network size (in regions), but in the presence of noise, they vary without clear trends. The incorporation of spatial features improves parallel ICA performance at matching the ICs across modalities, whereas the incorporation of mutual information, in comparison with correlation, deteriorates it. An important observation is that the single-modality and parallel ICAs do not always perform well in best-case conditions. That said, it must be acknowledged that this work is an initial investigation in this direction and further work with more diverse simulation parameters is needed to assess the generalisability of these results. This thesis contributes to the existing body of ICA literature by performing the first evaluation of EEG ICA and fMRI ICA in terms of the number of neural sources and source network size. It is also the first evaluation of the parallel ICA approach that matches ICs across modalities using within-subject temporal dynamics, and the first application of parallel ICA that matches the ICs using spatial features and mutual information. This thesis is also the first demonstration of how The Virtual Brain can be used to evaluate unimodal and multimodal neuroimaging methods.

We show that it is possible to obtain successful inflation via non-minimal coupling to gravity, and that the underlying dynamics is preferred to be near conformal. We discover that the compositeness scale of inflation is of the order of the grand unified energy scale.

description: This article deals with the dialogical relation between modern Hebrew culture and Yiddish culture as reflected in the discourse of both the Hebrew and Yiddish press about Yiddish theatre in the State of Israel between 1948 and 2003. By considering the struggle for power between Hebrew and Yiddish, I outline the establishment of Hebrew as the national language of the new state, as the local and native language, and as the language of power and knowledge. I illustrate that Hebrew’s institutionalization occurred in tandem with a constant process of repression and alienation of Yiddish culture and language, as well as the repression and alienation of all the considered Diaspora cultures. If this cultural policy affected the economic conditions for the development of the Yiddish theatre in Israel, then the discourse about the Yiddish theatre in the press also affected the public reception and the public status of Yiddish theatre in Israel. Keywords: Yiddish theatre; Israel studies; Zionism; Jewish theatre

title: The “Hainan” lesson in China’s real estate industry- the overheated Hainan housing market in the early 1990s and its influence
Creators: name: Pan, Rui
Publisher: name: University of Reading
Year: 2023

description: This dissertation examines the development of the Chinese real estate sector since the 1980s, with a particular focus on the role played by private developers. The existing literature on the development of the Chinese real estate sector over the past forty years is dominated by discussion about the role of government policy. The role played by entrepreneurs in the current academic literature is secondary to government policy and largely passive. This dissertation focuses on a case study of a group of real estate entrepreneurs who were widely recognised in China as leaders of the real estate industry during the 2000s. It suggests that their role in the development of the real estate sector was more than passive, and that they acted with genuine entrepreneurial creativity. The research also suggests that the entrepreneurs considered here were impacted by events in the early 1990s in the real estate sector on Hainan island, which saw a bubble in real estate prices, which then collapsed. The development of the Hainan real estate market in the 1990s is an important phase for Chinese real estate industry. The real estate entrepreneurs completed the original capital accumulation in this process, and accumulated experience in the process of the real estate bubble. The bubble and its bursting had a profound impact on the entrepreneurs’ future business operations. However, very few studies are found in the existing academic literature about the role the entrepreneurs, i.e., the private developers in the market who played a fundamental role throughout the whole process and the experience they gained from the Hainan bubble. The study aims to develop research on the experience the real estate entrepreneurs gained from Hainan bubble and the impact on their future business. Three rounds of interviews were conducted with the entrepreneurs, scholars and government officers. Key findings suggest that the experience of the Hainan bubble deeply impacted the entrepreneurs. Imprinting theory has been used to explain the consequences of their future behaviour from having experienced such a deeply impactful experience. The dissertation suggests that their experience in the Hainan bubble made these real estate entrepreneurs pay more attention to controlling business risks. This helped them to operate steadily from 1995 to 2008, and their businesses developed smoothly. However, after the 2008 financial crisis, the conservative management style also resulted in these entrepreneurs missing opportunities that then appeared in the development of the real estate market, and these entrepreneurs, who had been the market leaders during the early 2000s, were surpassed by later ones after 2008. The impact of the Hainan bubble on the entrepreneurs was so profound that its effects were still felt long after.
Shakespeare and the Fall of the Roman Republic: A Reply to Paul A. Cantor

description: In the previous issue of Skenè, Paul Cantor, an eminent senior Shakespeare scholar, author of Shakespeare’s Rome: Republic and Empire (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1976) and Shakespeare’s Roman Trilogy: The Twilight of Antiquity (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2017), provides a substantial review of my recent monograph Shakespeare and the Fall of the Roman Republic: Selfhood, Stoicism, and Civil War (Edinburgh: Edinburgh University Press, 2019). In this essay, I respond to his wide-ranging criticism. I have explained some of my misgivings about Cantor’s work elsewhere, including not only the monograph in question, but also a review of Shakespeare’s Roman Trilogy in The Classical Review, with particular attention to our disagreement about Shakespeare’s sense of historical causation. What does Shakespeare believe drives changes to political institutions? Matter or ideas? ‘Conditions of production’? Or religious faith? Turning here, by contrast, to different concerns, I begin by summarizing the philosophical and literary-theoretical argument of my monograph, which Cantor dismisses without further explanation as “abstruse” and “impenetrable”. In contrast to a familiar but false dichotomy between ‘humanism’ and ‘antihumanism’, Shakespeare offers an appealing compromise vision of selfhood. In keeping with the recent religious turn within Shakespeare studies, as well as the revival of presentism in both history and literary criticism, I respond to Cantor’s charge that I am blinded by “Christian dogmatism” and defend my conclusion that Shakespeare’s Rome resembles present-day “liberal democracies”. Throughout the Roman plays, allusions to the Gospels and to biblical drama introduce dramatic irony. As Peter Lake (2015, 111) suggests, Shakespeare “reanimates and stages” a “neo-Roman” ideology which is “almost entirely secular”, then “tests it to breaking point by subjecting it, not merely to a secular historical and political critique, but also to a religious, indeed, a Christian critique”.

Reduction of neutrophilic inflammation in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis via metabolism of n-alpha-pgp by leukotriene A4 hydrolase

description: Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive and lethal disease characterized by injury and accumulation of fibroblasts, and abnormal remodeling of the lung parenchyma. IPF is a rare disease with no effective treatment. Due to etiology of IPF, several pathogenic mechanisms have been implicated in its development including: aberrant repair of injured epithelium, consistent fibroblast activation and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT). The main focus of this research is on the regulation of a bifunctional enzyme called Leukotriene A4 Hydrolase (LTA4H), with pro and anti-inflammatory functions. While LTA4H catalyzes the conversion of leukotriene A4 to the proinflammatory mediator leukotriene B4 (LTB4), it has an aminopeptidase activity that has shown to degrade N-alpha-Proline-Glycine-Proline (N-α-PGP) and non-acetylated PGP, leading to resolution of acute neutrophils driven inflammation in collagen break down during repair process. Chronic neutrophilic inflammation is observed in lung diseases such as cystic fibrosis (CF) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), mediating extensive tissue damage and contributing to organ dysfunction. These studies demonstrated that tissues and fibroblasts cultured from lungs tissues of IPF patients to contain more PGP content and lack extracellular LTA4H and matrix metalloproteinases 8 and 9 (MMP 8/9). In addition, LTA4H expression was much lower in fibrotic lungs when compared to normal patients. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) analysis of the tissue microarray of the IPF and normal patients indicated a reduction in LTA4H in basal, central and lingual part of the lung. In addition to LTA4H studies, it has been also demonstrated that phosphorylation of the c-Jun N-terminal kinases 1/2(JNK), a mitogen-activated protein kinase family which are responsive to stress stimuli, might be linked to remodelling and progression of the IPF. While the expression of JNK was not different across the IPF and normal patients, activated JNK was elevated in the IPF fibroblasts. In addition, the same fibroblast cells were shown to produce more pro-collagen I A; while utilizing the phospho-JNK (P-JNK) inhibitor 1/2, reduced the collagen formation in the IPF fibroblast cells.Further studies are needed to understand the role of LTA4H and PGP breakdown as well as P-JNK pathway in IPF patients, with a hope to control this devastating disease.

description: Feature selection is an important pre-processing step for many pattern classification tasks. Traditionally, feature selection methods are designed to obtain a feature subset that can lead to high classification accuracy. However, classification accuracy has recently been shown to be an inappropriate performance metric of classification systems in many cases. Instead, the Area Under the receiver operating characteristic Curve (AUC) and its multi-class extension, MAUC, have been proved to be better alternatives. Hence, the target of classification system design is gradually shifting from seeking a system with the maximum classification accuracy to obtaining a system with the maximum AUC/MAUC. Previous investigations have shown that traditional feature selection methods need to be modified to cope with this new objective. These methods most often are restricted to binary classification problems only. In this study, a filter feature selection method, namely MAUC Decomposition based Feature Selection (MDFS), is proposed for multi-class classification problems. To the best of our knowledge, MDFS is the first method specifically designed to select features for building classification systems with maximum MAUC. Extensive empirical results demonstrate the advantage of MDFS over several compared feature selection methods.
