Subjects: subject: Probability (math.PR)

description: Some examples of translation invariant site percolation processes on the $\Z^2$ lattice are constructed, the most far-reaching example being one that satisfies uniform finite energy (meaning that the probability that a site is open given the status of all others is bounded away from $0$ and $1$) and exhibits a.s. the coexistence of an infinite open cluster and an infinite closed cluster. Essentially the same example shows that coexistence is possible between an infinite open cluster and an infinite closed cluster that are both robust under i.i.d. thinning.

description: The diffusion limit of the linear Boltzmann equation with a strong magnetic field is performed. The giration period of particles around the magnetic field is assumed to be much smaller than the collision relaxation time which is supposed to be much smaller than the macroscopic time. The limiting equation is shown to be a diffusion equation in the parallel direction while in the orthogonal direction, the guiding center motion is obtained. The diffusion constant in the parallel direction is obtained through the study of a new collision operator obtained by averaging the original one. Moreover, a correction to the guiding center motion is derived.

description: Control of spatial quantum correlations in bi-photons is one of the fundamental principles of Quantum Imaging. Up to now, experiments have been restricted to controlling the state of a single bi-photon, by using linear optical elements. In this work we demonstrate experimental control of quantum correlations in a four-photon state comprised of two pairs of photons. Our scheme is based on a high-efficiency parametric downconversion source coupled to a double slit by a variable linear optical setup, in order to obtain spatially encoded qubits. Both entangled and separable pairs have been obtained, by altering experimental parameters. We show how the correlations influence both the interference and diffraction on the double slit.

Profiling the early molecular response of the human bronchial epithelium to Aspergillus fumigatus using a multi-omics approach
Creators: name: Toor, Amreen
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2018

description: Aspergillus fumigatus (A. fumigatus) is an opportunistic fungal pathogen that is widely distributed in nature through the release of conidiospores (conidia). Upon inhalation, fungal conidia (2-3 μm) are capable of reaching the bronchial and alveolar epithelia. This interaction between conidia and airway epithelial cells may result in the development of allergic, chronic or invasive aspergillosis in susceptible hosts. Characterization of the early molecular response of host using a multi-OMICs molecular approach is an important first step for better understanding the host-pathogen interaction. The aim of my research was to investigate the early molecular response of host upon interaction with A. fumigatus using an in-vitro model that closely recapitulates the in-vivo bronchial epithelium, and assess the applicability of this model to study host-pathogen interactions. A multi-OMICs approach utilizing NanoString and shotgun proteomics was applied to primary human bronchial epithelial cells (HBECs) grown for 21-28 days as differentiated air-liquid interface (ALI) cultures. Comparative analyses were conducted to compare the gene expression profiles of ALI cultures to submerged monolayer cultures of human airway epithelial cell line (1HAEo-) upon conidial exposure. In addition, transcriptional profiles of ALI cultures upon exposure to wild-type (WT) conidia of A. fumigatus were compared to Kdnase mutant strain (Δkdnase) of A. fumigatus and to Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV). Unlike submerged monolayer cultures, ALI cultures of primary HBECs internalized less than 1% of bound conidia 6 hours post-exposure. Transcriptomic and proteomic analyses of primary HBECs in ALI revealed that exposure to the fungus enriched the expression of genes related to cell cycle regulation, apoptosis/autophagy, iron homeostasis, calcium metabolism, complement and coagulation cascades, endoplasmic stress and the unfolded protein response. Comparative analyses to submerged monolayer cultures of 1HAEs indicated that the host molecular response in each model is different. The immune response in differentiated ALI cultures upon exposure to Δkdnase A. fumigatus conidia and RSV was pathogen-specific. Hence, ALI cultures of primary HBECs can provide novel insights into the mechanisms involved in the early molecular response associated with this opportunistic fungal pathogen.

description: Approximately 50% of all adults with heart failure (HF) are classified as frail. Frailty is a clinical state of 'accelerated ageing' that complicates management and results in adverse health outcomes. Despite recommendations for frailty assessment in HF guidelines, its implementation into routine clinical practice has been slow. Further, evidence to inform models of care and pharmacological treatment for individuals with HF who are classified as frail is lacking. The complexity of management underscores the importance of tailoring models of care that can improve the focus on frailty through multidisciplinary care teams. Frailty can be reduced in some cases through the comprehensive geriatric assessment model of care, integrating treatment pillars such as exercise, nutrition, social engagement and support networks, and optimised medication use. A national agenda for action on frailty in the context of HF is needed to advance policy, practice, education, and research improve health outcomes for individuals affected. In November 2023 the Australian Cardiovascular Alliance (ACvA) facilitated a national workshop on frailty and HF with key experts. This has led to the development of a frailty and HF national taskforce with the aim to address major priorities and unmet needs. This statement is first step for the taskforce in implementing a national agenda for the management of frailty in HF. Here we outline key considerations for policy, practice, education, and research in Australia.

description: Long-term, uniform series of UBVR observations of T Tauri and Herbig Ae stars obtained over 20 yr at the Maidanak Observatory as part of the ROTOR program are analyzed. We find a linear relationship between the characteristic variability time scale and the bolometric luminosity of the star+disk system: the higher the luminosity, the slower the brightness variations. This dependence is valid over a wide range of masses and luminosities, from T Tauri stars to Herbig Ae stars. On average, the variability time scale is one-quarter the Keplerian period at the dust-sublimation radius, which is known from interferometric observations. Some T Tauri stars have periods from 25 to 120 days, which are preserved over several observing seasons. These periods correspond to Keplerian orbits with semi-major axes from 0.14 to 0.52 AU. The results obtained provide indirect evidence for the existence of protoplanets in the gas-dust disks of stars in early stages of their evolution toward the main sequence.

An analytical profile for will be presented and validated by experimental data obtained by Thorne et al. (2009) for medium sand. The proposed profile allows a good description of suspended sediment concentrations for fine and coarse sediments.
Clarifying the mechanisms by which psychedelics achieve therapeutic efficacy
Creators: name: Jones, Andrew
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2018

description: The potential psychotherapeutic value of psychedelic drugs has recently generated much scientific and public interest. Many comparative trials have suggested that these drugs can produce significant benefits for individuals suffering from various treatment-resistant psychological disorders. However, recent work in the philosophy of medicine has emphasized the importance of complementing evidence produced by comparative trials with “mechanistic evidence”. Mechanistic evidence is evidence that is produced by reasoning about the causal pathways (or mechanisms) by which treatments achieve their effects. It is important, therefore, to have a strong understanding of the mechanistic evidence for the therapeutic efficacy of psychedelics. This thesis seeks to strengthen the understanding of the mechanistic evidence for the therapeutic efficacy of psychedelics. By surveying past and contemporary proposals about how psychedelics produce benefit, I articulate two broad views that dominate contemporary understandings of the mechanistic evidence. According to “mind-manifesting” views, psychedelics are therapeutically useful because they facilitate access to unconscious content. On the other hand, according to “mind-modifying” views, psychedelics are therapeutically useful because they disrupt rigid thought patterns and increase psychological flexibility. I argue that these two views are sometimes conflated or not clearly distinguished by contemporary researchers, and that they need to be teased apart to generate a stronger understanding of exactly how psychedelics produce beneficial outcomes. I then explore the viability of using “psychedelic testimony” to help tease these views apart.

description: The characteristic sizes of astrophysical structures, up to the whole observed Universe, can be recovered, in principle, assuming that gravity is the overall interaction assembling systems starting from microscopic scales, whose order of magnitude is ruled by the Planck length and the related Compton wavelength. This result agrees with the absence of screening mechanisms for the gravitational interaction and could be connected to the presence of Yukawa corrections in the Newtonian potential which introduce typical interaction lengths. This result directly comes out from quantization of primordial black holes and then characteristic interaction lengths directly emerge from quantum field theory.

description: On 17 July 1992, an assassin bug (Zelus luridus Stal) was flushed from the stomach of a smallmouth bass (Micropterus dolomieu) collected in West Long Lake of the University of Notre Dame Environmental Research Center, Gogebic County, Michigan. The bass measured 237 mm in total length and weighed 187 g. Although Z. luridus was reported by McPherson (1992) from 26 of 67 counties in Michigan's Lower Peninsula, he did not list it from the Upper Peninsula. Including Z. luridus, only 5 of 28 reduviids known from Michigan have been collected in the Upper Peninsula, a region that apparently has been under-collected (McPherson, 1992).

description: The InAs/InGaAs DWELL solar cell grown by MBE is a standard pin diode structure with six layers of InAs QDs embedded in InGaAs quantum wells placed within a 200-nm intrinsic GaAs region. The GaAs control wafer consists of the same pin configuration but without the DWELL structure. The typical DWELL solar cell exhibits higher short current density while maintaining nearly the same open-circuit voltage for different scales, and the advantage of higher short current density is more obvious in the smaller cells. In contrast, the smaller size cells, which have a higher perimeter to area ratio, make edge recombination current dominant in the GaAs control cells, and thus their open circuit voltage and efficiency severely degrade. The open-circuit voltage and efficiency under AM1.5G of the GaAs control cell decrease from 0.914V and 8.85% to 0.834V and 7.41%, respectively, as the size shrinks from 5*5mm2 to 2*2mm2, compared to the increase from 0.665V and 7.04% to 0.675V and 8.17%, respectively, in the DWELL solar cells.

We locate a critical endpoint (CEP) at (μ^E,T^E) ~ (1.0,0.9)T_c, where T_c is the critical temperature for chiral symmetry restoration at μ=0; and find that a domain of phase coexistence opens at the CEP whose area increases as a confinement length-scale grows.

Но они были вознаграждены серией духовных переживаний в одном из самых важнейших мест христианской веры. Их возили туда, где Отец в виде горящего куста явился Моисею и туда, где Моисей получил заповеди от Бога для избранного народа, в монастыре св. Екатерины они могли прикоснуться к святым мощам этого высокопоставленного святого, а на вершине горы Синай они могли представить себе остальную часть мира и всемогущество Бога. Вернувшись домой, паломники рассказывали о своих приключениях, а знатные люди добавляли в свой геральдический знак колесо св. Екатерины. Различными способами они подчеркивали, насколько значимым было паломничество туда для средневекового мировоззрения
A general statistical framework for dissecting parent-of-origin effects underlying endosperm traits in flowering plants

description: Genomic imprinting has been thought to play an important role in seed development in flowering plants. Seed in a flowering plant normally contains diploid embryo and triploid endosperm. Empirical studies have shown that some economically important endosperm traits are genetically controlled by imprinted genes. However, the exact number and location of the imprinted genes are largely unknown due to the lack of efficient statistical mapping methods. Here we propose a general statistical variance components framework by utilizing the natural information of sex-specific allelic sharing among sibpairs in line crosses, to map imprinted quantitative trait loci (iQTL) underlying endosperm traits. We propose a new variance components partition method considering the unique characteristic of the triploid endosperm genome, and develop a restricted maximum likelihood estimation method in an interval scan for estimating and testing genome-wide iQTL effects. Cytoplasmic maternal effect which is thought to have primary influences on yield and grain quality is also considered when testing for genomic imprinting. Extension to multiple iQTL analysis is proposed. Asymptotic distribution of the likelihood ratio test for testing the variance components under irregular conditions are studied. Both simulation study and real data analysis indicate good performance and powerfulness of the developed approach.

title: Studies of markers of vasculature and immunological systems in eyes of lumpfish, a North Atlantic Teleost
Creators: name: Hyde, Tatiana
Publisher: name: Memorial University of Newfoundland
Year: 2022

description: Lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus), a North Atlantic teleost, is used as a cleaner fish to delouse salmon in the commercial Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar) farming industry. Lumpfish require high visual acuity to observe and consume prey, such as the louse on salmon skin. Hematopoiesis, a process in which stem and progenitor cells differentiate to form blood cellular components occurs primarily in the bone marrow, but during fetal development it can in rare cases occur in “extramedullary” structures such as the ocular choroid vasculature of the eye. The choroid vasculature is a specialized vasculature that services the posterior retina and accounts for the majority of the blood flow to the eye. The comparable vasculature structures between lumpfish and human provide a new opportunity for a new model system for studying vasculature biology. I propose that the development of the posterior vasculature and hematopoiesis system of the lumpfish eye involves unique expression markers that exaggerate and support natural extramedullary hematopoiesis in ocular vascular structures. To date, there has been no report of such processes in the lumpfish eye. Here, I examined in lumpfish eyes, the expression of zonula occuldens-1 (ZO-1), chloride intracellular channel protein 2 (CLIC2), proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), cluster of differentiation 45 (CD45) and cluster of differentiation 10 (CD10), known markers of vascular and hematopoietic tissues in mammals. I studied the association of the aforementioned markers throughout the development of posterior ocular vascular and hematopoietic tissues of lumpfish. I found that CD45, CD10, CLIC2, PCNA and ZO-1 are not only present in the lumpfish eye throughout development, but also that CD10, CD45, CLIC2 and ZO-1 seem to be developmentally regulated. Characterizing the development of known markers of posterior ocular vascular-hematopoiesis-like tissues of lumpfish is important to gain a better understanding of ocular tissue development, homeostasis, and response to stress as well as provide new basic knowledge on these markers.

description: We study an undocumented large translucent cloud, detected by means of its enhanced radiation on the SHASSA (Southern H-Alpha Sky Survey Atlas) survey. We consider whether its excess surface brightness can be explained by light scattered off the dust grains in the cloud, or whether emission from in situ ionized gas is required. In addition, we aim to determine the temperature of dust, the mass of the cloud, and its possible star formation activity. We compare the observed H-alpha surface brightness of the cloud with predictions of a radiative transfer model. We use the WHAM (Wisconsin H-Alpha Mapper) survey as a source for the Galactic H-alpha interstellar radiation field illuminating the cloud. Visual extinction through the cloud is derived using 2MASS J, H, and K band photometry. We use far-IR ISOSS (ISO Serendipitous Survey), IRAS, and DIRBE data to study the thermal emission of dust. The LAB (The Leiden/Argentine/Bonn Galactic HI Survey) is used to study 21cm HI emission associated with the cloud. Radiative transfer calculations of the Galactic diffuse H-alpha radiation indicate that the surface brightness of the cloud can be explained solely by radiation scattered off dust particles in the cloud. The maximum visual extinction through the cloud is about 1.2mag. The cloud is found to be associated with 21cm HI emission at a velocity of about -9 km/s. The total mass of the cloud is about 550-1000 solar masses. There is no sign of star formation in this cloud. The distance of the cloud is estimated from the Hipparcos data to be about 100 pc.
Examining conditioned pain modulation in non-elite and elite rock climbers : the influence of pain coping strategies and cognitive appraisal
Creators: name: McDougall, Jessica F.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2018

description: The physical demands of rock climbing combined with climber’s verbal reports suggest that this sport requires participants to cope with pain. Recent athlete pain studies have used Conditioned Pain Modulation (CPM), a measure of pain that quantifies the amount that one painful sensation downregulates other painful sensations. This research has focused on traditional-sport athletes such as runners and has neglected adventure sport athletes such as climbers. Furthermore, the influence of pain coping strategies and appraisals on CPM have not been clarified. This study examined how elite and novice climbers experience, cope with, and appraise pain by examining CPM in a laboratory test. In addition, coping and appraisals for the pain during the CPM test were compared to coping and appraisals of a recent painful climb to examine if the situations elicited similar responses. Elite climbers (n=27) demonstrated higher CPM (p<.01) and higher baseline pain tolerance (p<.05) than novice climbers (n=26). Novice climbers reported using higher distraction coping strategies than elite climbers in both the CPM test and during a recent painful climb (p<.05). Elite climbers reported more control over pain during a recent painful climb (p<.01). Despite group differences, distraction coping was not linearly correlated to CPM. Intraclass correlation analysis showed that most pain coping strategies and appraisals were moderately to highly correlated across the two conditions, suggesting similarities in how climbers appraised and coped with the pain during the CPM test and climbing. Results suggest that elite climbers have better pain tolerance than non-elite climbers. However, the role of coping and appraisals of pain was unclear. Future research should consider longitudinal studies to examine the factors that lead to an elite climber’s higher pain tolerance, as well as examining climbers of all skill levels to elucidate the link between the stress process and rock climbing.
title: MCH and orexin gene expression in a murine model of cancer anorexia cachexia syndrome
Creators: name: Morden, Caleb Christopher
Publisher: name: Memorial University of Newfoundland
Year: 2021

description: Cancer anorexia/cachexia syndrome (CACS) is defined as a severe loss of appetite and body weight that results in a significant increase in cancer-related mortality. CACS is thought to involve the hypothalamus, the brain region that controls energy homeostasis. Melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) and orexin neurons of the lateral hypothalamus are involved in regulating appetite and body weight. However, their role in CACS is unclear. Here, the Lewis-Lung Carcinoma (LLC) mouse model was used to characterize CACS. Additionally, using quantitative RT-PCR we investigated the levels of MCH and orexin gene expression in the hypothalami of LLC tumour-bearing mice. We found that injection of 0.5x106 LLC cells results in the most robust CACS with consistent anorexia and cachexia. In these mice, orexin mRNA expression was significantly reduced which correlated with food intake. Alternatively, in mice displaying cachexia only, MCH and orexin gene expression were positively correlated with body weight gain. Specifically, tumour-bearing mice with upregulated MCH or orexin mRNA expression did not lose weight, while those that failed to increase these factors lost weight. These results indicate that MCH and orexin may play a protective role against tumour-induced weight loss, while decreased orexin gene expression may contribute to anorexia in tumour-bearing mice. Overall, these findings support the idea that the MCH and orexin system may provide a potential therapeutic target for CACS.

It is written for a general audience interested in science and philosophy. Intuitively, randomness is a lack of order or predictability. If randomness is the opposite of determinism, then algorithmic randomness is the opposite of computability. Besides many other things, these concepts have been used to quantify Ockham's razor, solve the induction problem, and define intelligence.

description: A posteriori estimates for mixed finite element discretizations of the Navier-Stokes equations are derived. We show that the task of estimating the error in the evolutionary Navier-Stokes equations can be reduced to the estimation of the error in a steady Stokes problem. As a consequence, any available procedure to estimate the error in a Stokes problem can be used to estimate the error in the nonlinear evolutionary problem. A practical procedure to estimate the error based on the so-called postprocessed approximation is also considered. Both the semidiscrete (in space) and the fully discrete cases are analyzed. Some numerical experiments are provided.

description: σ Ori E is a prototypical magnetic B star with a rapid 1.2 day rotation period. Two dips in brightness can be seen in its photometric light curve, which was well fit by the Rigidly Rotating Magnetosphere (RRM) model. This model shows that if a star is rotating rapidly enough, then material will become trapped in the centrifugal magnetosphere (CM). However, this model only considers absorption and as such does not fully explain the light curve of σ Ori E. We must take emission into account as well. To do this, we examine the possibility of electron scattering from the CM being responsible for extra emission seen in σ Ori E’s photometric light curve. These initial results could provide insight into explaining photometric light curves of other magnetic stars measured by TESS.

description: We describe the infinitesimal deformations of the standard embedding of the Lie superalgebra $D(2, 1 ; α)$ into the Poisson superalgebra of pseudodifferential symbols on $S^{1|2}$. We show that for the standard embedding of $D(2, 1 ; α)$ into the Poisson superalgebra of differential operators on $S^{1|2}$, the infinitesimal deformations correspond to formal deformations. For the embedding of $D(2, 1 ; α)$ into the derived contact superconformal algebra ${K}'(4)$, the infinitesimal deformations are formal deformations.

description: Motivated by the prospect of realizing a Fermi gas of $^{40}$K atoms with a synthetic non-Abelian gauge field, we investigate theoretically a strongly interacting Fermi gas in the presence of a Rashba spin-orbit coupling. As the two-fold spin degeneracy is lifted by spin-orbit interaction, bound pairs with mixed singlet and triplet pairings (referred to as rashbons) emerge, leading to an anisotropic superfluid. We show that this anisotropic superfluidity can be probed via measuring the momentum distribution and single-particle spectral function in a trapped atomic $^{40}$K cloud near a Feshbach resonance.

description: We have studied neutron-rich carbon isotopes in terms of the shell model employing a realistic effective hamiltonian derived from the chiral N3LOW nucleon-nucleon potential. The single-particle energies and effective two-body interaction have been both determined within the framework of the time-dependent degenerate linked-diagram perturbation theory. The calculated results are in very good agreement with the available experimental data, providing a sound description of this isotopic chain toward the neutron dripline. The correct location of the dripline is reproduced.

Directed coherent transport due to Bloch oscillation in two dimensions

description: We point out that in higher dimensions, in contrast to the one dimensional case considered usually, Bloch oscillation driven by a static force can induce transport of the wave packet. The wave packet oscillates constantly, but on a larger time scale it drifts at a constant velocity permanently. As a noteworthy feature, the net transport in the long run is always normal to the external force and thus controlled by it. We verify this prediction numerically and discuss its experimental realization both with cold atoms in optical lattices and with two dimensional photonic lattices.

description: We consider two-grid mixed-finite element schemes for the spatial discretization of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. A standard mixed-finite element method is applied over the coarse grid to approximate the nonlinear Navier-Stokes equations while a linear evolutionary problem is solved over the fine grid. The previously computed Galerkin approximation to the velocity is used to linearize the convective term. For the analysis we take into account the lack of regularity of the solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations at the initial time in the absence of nonlocal compatibility conditions of the data. Optimal error bounds are obtained.
Heaven's post office (Hanŭl uch’eguk) : methodology, analysis, and translation
Creators: name: Kim, Dawn D.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Written as a commemorative and reflective text, Kim Subok’s Heaven’s Post Office (Hanŭl uch’eguk, 2015) blends personal and public histories to reconcile the self, find closure for personal and public loss, and search for sources of trauma. As this collection spans his forty years as a poet, the themes used throughout his body of work are recalled: themes of historical loss awaken latent feelings of trauma while other themes that explore the transcendental quality of nature and existential questioning are also revisited, but their re-visitation is largely reflective. Rather than embarking on a new poetic examination, Kim’s collection returns to sites once travelled. To uncover how memory is engaged by the poet and to better frame the translation, I include the translation methodology and analysis of the text by way of memory studies, providing the reader with a framework that clarifies translation structures and textual meaning. I use four paradigms from translation studies to distill the translation process in the methodology section: polysystems theory, theories of equivalence, skopos theory, and cultural translation. I include an exposition of these theories to contextualize theoretically the translation choices I have made. Additionally, for the analysis portion, drawing on previous theorization of poetry’s role in memory and subjectivity formation, I suggest that since poetry can house memory, it can be considered a technology of memory; as such, many poems are memory texts located in personal and collective memory spheres and use imagery and memory work to create a shared space of empathy and prosthetic memory-making. Not all poems belong to personal and collective spheres of memory and thus, not all poems create prosthetic memories – other poems like these are relegated to the transcendental quality of nature. The final portion of this thesis culminates in my English translation of Heaven’s Post Office. These three portions act to elucidate Kim’s engagement with memory and the process of translation – especially the cultural translation that is necessarily at play. Through prosthetic memory-making, Kim extends an experiential engagement with Korea’s history and his own trauma and past, creating a third space of ethical engagement and empathetic alliance.
title: Investigating the association between prior history of asthma and later diagnosis of COPD: an analysis of British Columbia administrative health database in Canada

description: Adult asthma patients are at an increased likelihood of being diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD) later in life. The main aim of this dissertation is to examine the factors associated with asthma patients that lead to COPD diagnosis later in life. The study was motivated by the dearth of research explaining the complex relationship between prior history of asthma and a later diagnosis of COPD. Similarly, there is a lack of academic literature and clinical research that examines the association between sub-optimal medication adherence (MA) in asthma patients and their subsequent risk of COPD. Additionally, there exists no gold standard with a clinical or pharmacological rationale for measuring optimal MA in asthma patients using pharmacy-based databases. In examining these critical research areas, meta-analysis and a retrospective observational cohort design were employed. Four linked databases obtained from the Population Data BC, spanning from January 1, 1998, to December 31, 2018, were used for data analysis. The meta-analysis showed that patients with a previous history of asthma were 7.87 times more likely to develop COPD in the future than were non-asthmatics. In addition, an analysis of the Population Data BC found that the following risk factors predicted COPD in asthma patients: “being an older adult (40 years and older)”, “being male and obese”, “a history of tobacco use”, “comorbidity burden”, “length of hospital stay”, “asthma severity levels”, “asthma exacerbations”, and overuse of Short-Acting Beta-2 Agonist (SABA). Also, the study identified medication possession ratio (MPR) and proportion of days covered (PDC) as the most commonly used methods for measuring medication adherence with higher sensitivity. The study identified an adherence threshold of at least 0.80 as optimal in categorizing adherent and non-adherent adult asthma patients. Further, patients who achieved a sub-optimal level of MA were at a significantly increased risk for developing COPD over time after adjusting for relevant confounders. Levels of asthma severity modified the MA effect. Additionally, overuse of short-acting beta-2 agonist (SABA) was significantly associated with an increased risk of COPD after adjusting for relevant confounders and covariates. This study’s findings provide important insights into the lifestyle and behavioural risk factors associated with COPD risk. Healthcare providers and policymakers should highlight the need for smoking cessation programs, weight management, and medication compliance interventions, particularly in difficult-to-control adult asthma patients who are at an elevated risk of developing COPD.
