description: Objective: To describe health care resource utilization (HCRU) and associated costs in adult patients referred for specialist asthma care in Southwest Finland, by disease severity and blood eosinophil count (BEC). Methods: This non-interventional, retrospective registry study (GSK ID: HO-17-17558) utilized data from patients >18 years of age on the hospital register of the Hospital District of Southwest Finland. Data extraction was from January 1, 2004 to December 31, 2015; the index date was the first hospital visit within this period with an International Classification of Diseases-10 diagnosis code for asthma or acute severe asthma. Patients were categorized by asthma severity (based on medication use) and BEC (<300 or ≥300 cells/μL). Total and asthma-related HCRU and estimated costs were recorded the year following index and for calendar years 2004–2015. Results: Overall, 14,398 patients were included; 388 had severe asthma at index. BEC was available for 3781 patients; 1434 had a BEC ≥300 cells/μL and 2347 had a BEC <300 cells/μL. A total of 1241 patients had severe asthma; 270 patients had severe eosinophilic asthma (severe asthma and a BEC ≥300 cells/μL). Patients with severe versus non-severe asthma had higher total- and asthma-related outpatient visits, inpatient days, emergency room visits and costs per patient year; those with BEC ≥300 cells/μL versus <300 cells/μL had more outpatient visits. All recorded HCRU and associated costs were highest in patients with severe eosinophilic asthma. Conclusion: This study demonstrated a substantial burden associated with severe and/or eosinophilic asthma for adults in Finland.

Risk-based approach

description: Sea-level rise (SLR) is not just a future trend; it is occurring now in most coastal regions across the globe. It thus impacts not only long-range planning in coastal environments, but also emergency preparedness. Its inevitability and irreversibility on long time scales, in addition to its spatial non-uniformity, uncertain magnitude and timing, and capacity to drive non-stationarity in coastal flooding on planning and engineering timescales, create unique challenges for coastal risk-management decision processes. This review assesses past United States federal efforts to synthesize evolving SLR science in support of coastal risk management. In particular, it outlines the: (1) evolution in global SLR scenarios to those using a risk-based perspective that also considers low-probability but high- consequence outcomes, (2) regionalization of the global scenarios, and (3) use of probabilistic approaches. It also describes efforts to further contextualize regional scenarios by combining local mean sea-level changes with extreme water level projections. Finally, it offers perspectives on key issues relevant to the future uptake, interpretation, and application of sea-level change scenarios in decision-making. These perspectives have utility for efforts to craft standards and guidance for preparedness and resilience measures to reduce the risk of coastal flooding and other impacts related to SLR.

description: Objective: Asthma is a multifaceted disease, and severe asthma is likely to be persistent. Patients with severe asthma have the greatest burden and require more healthcare resources than those with mild-to-moderate asthma. The majority with asthma can be managed in primary care, while some patients with severe asthma warrant referral for expert advice regarding management. In adolescence, this involves a transition from pediatric to adult healthcare. This study aimed to explore how young adults with severe asthma experienced the transition process. Methods: Young adults with severe asthma were recruited from an ongoing Swedish population-based cohort. Qualitative data were obtained through individual interviews (n = 16, mean age 23.4 years), and the transcribed data were analyzed with systematic text condensation. Results: Four categories emerged based on the young adults’ experiences: “I have to take responsibility”, “A need of being involved”, “Feeling left out of the system”, and “Lack of engagement”. The young adults felt they had to take more responsibility, did not know where to turn, and experienced fewer follow-ups in adult healthcare. Further, they wanted healthcare providers to involve them in self-management during adolescence, and in general, they felt that their asthma received insufficient support from healthcare providers. Conclusions: Based on how the young adults with severe asthma experienced the transition from pediatric to adult healthcare, it is suggested that healthcare providers together with each patient prepare, plan, and communicate in the transition process for continued care in line with transition guidelines.

description: Paterson introduced the notions of semantic restrictions on the class of restricted classes of schemas might have and also be realistic models of what "good" or "efficient" programs. With the introduce two new classes of schemas: Freedom and liberality as schemas. He felt that such solvable decision problems, would generally be considered latter viewpoint in mind, we the reachable schemas and the semi free schemas. A schema is reachable if every statement in the schema is executed under some interpretation. A schema is semi free if every test in the schema is necessary in the sense that each exit of the test is taken under some interpretation. We discuss various decision problems for these classes, and translatability between these classes and other semantically restricted schema classes. We also mention the implications of these results for questions of program optimization and verification.

description: Shannon's theory lays the foundation for understanding the flow of information from world into brain: There must be a set of possible messages. Brain structure determines what they are. Many messages convey quantitative facts (distances, directions, durations, etc.). It is impossible to consider how neural tissue processes these numbers without first considering how it encodes them.

description: Transportation planners and traffic engineers are using crash modification factors to evaluate how changes in road geometry and design features can reduce crashes. Crash modification factors are typically estimated based on segmenting links on a highway and associating with geometric features. This allows statistical methods to be applied to the data. Concurrently there is a stream of research that relies on spatial units of analysis to examine crashes; these typically use broad features of the road network combined with socio-economic and demographic factors that are associated with crashes. In this paper, we examine whether omission of these spatial factors in a link-based model results in mis-specified models, in particular, omitted variable bias. Our results suggest that there is no change in coefficient signs, but that there is a reduction in the magnitude of estimates, suggesting that omitted variable bias exists. The sign of spatial variables differ substantially when combined with a link-based model. We also find substantial variability in coefficient estimates, and discuss the implications of these results for the use of crash modification factors in cost-benefit analysis of road safety projects.

description: Two recent productions of American dramas employed provocative strategies for enacting Jewish ethnicity: National Asian American Theatre Company’s performance of Clifford Odets’s Awake and Sing! with an all-Asian American cast and New Yiddish Rep’s staging of Toyt fun a seylsman, a Yiddish translation of Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman. Each production entails a different approach to performing Jewishness that exemplifies these companies’ respective artistic agendas regarding the enactment of ethnicity, resulting in complex performances of masking and unmasking Jewishness. Moreover, their analysis illuminates how ethnicity is conceptualized and realized in the United States in the early decades of the twenty-first century. Yiddish appears strategically, if often obliquely, in the histories of composition, production, and reception for both dramas, emblematic of shifting notions of enacting ethnicity.

description: Luftkontamination oder "Luftverschmutzung" liegt vor, wenn übermäßige Mengen oder auch für die Gesundheit schädliche Mengen an Spurengasen oder Staubpartikeln in die Atmosphäre gelangen. Neben den bekannten anthropogenen Quellen an Luftschadstoffen gibt es für viele Substanzen auch natürliche Quellen, die vom Menschen nur wenig beeinflussbar sind. Aufgrund von Schwankungen bei der Aktivität der Quellen sowie einer Vielfalt atmosphärischer Prozesse kann sich die Luftqualität im Einzelfall je nach Ort und Zeit stark unterscheiden. Luftverunreinigungen verursachen statistisch gesehen eine Bandbreite gesundheitlicher Auswirkungen in der Bevölkerung, die von Atemwegserkrankungen, Herz-Kreislauf-Erkrankungen, chronisch-obstruktiver Lungenkrankheit (COPD), Schlaganfällen bis zu Lungenkrebs reichen. Zum Schutz der menschlichen Gesundheit gibt es zahlreiche auf wissenschaftlicher Grundlage abgeleitete Grenzwerte bzw. Beurteilungswerte. In Deutschland wird die Luftqualität mit Hilfe eines umfangreichen Messnetzes aus ca. 600 Messstationen nach europaweit einheitlichen Vorgaben überwacht. Verstärkt muss vor allem dort gemessen werden, wo hohe Konzentrationen erwartet werden, denen viele Menschen ausgesetzt sind. Aktuell werden deutschland- und europaweit 11 Luftschadstoffe überwacht, von denen bei lang- und/oder kurzfristiger Exposition eine Gefahr für die menschliche Gesundheit ausgeht. Durch erfolgreiche Emissionsminderungsmaßnahmen, die in den 1960er Jahren begannen und bis in die Gegenwart reichen, gibt es mittlerweile in Deutschland keine Überschreitungen der geltenden Luftschadstoffgrenzwerte für Schwefeldioxid, Kohlenmonoxid, Benzol und Blei mehr. Allerdings sind in Ballungsräumen und Städten die Konzentrationen von Feinstaub (PM10/PM2,5) und Stickstoffdioxid (NO2) an einigen Messstationen nach wie vor zu hoch, auch wenn sie seit 1990 deutlich abgenommen haben. Auch die Ozonbelastung stellt in den Sommermonaten deutschlandweit ein Problem dar. Nur sehr vereinzelt werden zu hohe Konzentrationen der Staubinhaltsstoffe (Arsen, Cadmium, Blei, Nickel, Benzo[a]pyren) gemessen. Inzwischen halten auch orientierende, d.h. gesetzlich nicht verpflichtende Messungen einiger "neuer" Luftschadstoffe wie ultrafeiner Partikel (UFP) Einzug in Messnetze. Durch Langzeitmessungen von UFP konnten z.B. die Wirksamkeit emissionsmindernder Maßnahmen im Kfz-Bereich gut belegt werden. Die Luftqualitätsdaten der Bundes- und Ländermessnetze werden der Öffentlichkeit automatisiert und zeitnah zur Verfügung gestellt, damit sich empfindliche Personengruppen jederzeit über die Belastungssituation informieren können.

Group Velocity and Reflection Phenomena in Numerical Approximations of Hyperbolic Equations: a Survey

Publisher: name: Rutgers University
Year: 1982

description: Recent analyses of spurious phenomena near interfaces and boundaries of numerical approximations of hyperbolic equations have produced a host of interesting, concrete results, which are reviewed in this paper. What characterizes these analyses is that they rely on tools of mathematical physics, in particular in the systematic use of Fourier transforms and the concept of sinusoidal wave propagation this leads to a description of numerical inaccuracy in terms of dispersion, and a description of spurious numerical solutions in terms of wave packets and group velocities. It is in providing the mathematics needed to describe spurious reflection at numerical boundaries and at interfaces in mesh refinement that the most applied results of this theory are obtained.

description: Objective: People with allergic rhinitis (AR) often self-manage in the community pharmacy setting without consulting health care professionals and trivialize their comorbidities such as asthma. A mobile health application (mHealth app) with a self-monitoring and medication adherence system can assist with the appropriate self-management of AR and asthma. This study aimed to identify an app effective for the self-management of AR and/or asthma. Methods: MHealth apps retrieved from the Australian Apple App Store and Android Google Play Store were included in this study if they were developed for self-management of AR and/or asthma; in English language; free of charge for the full version; and accessible to users of the mHealth app. The mHealth app quality was evaluated on three domains using a two-stage process. In Stage 1, the apps were ranked along Domain 1 (Accessibility in both app stores). In Stage 2, the apps with Stage 1, maximum score were ranked along Domain 2 (alignment with theoretical principles of the self-management of AR and/or asthma) and Domain 3 (usability of the mHealth app using Mobile App Rating Scale instrument). Results: Of the 418 apps retrieved, 31 were evaluated in Stage 1 and 16 in Stage 2. The MASK-air achieved the highest mean rank and covered all self-management principles except the doctor’s appointment reminder and scored a total MARS mean score of 0.91/1. Conclusions:MASK-air is ranked most highly across the assessment domains for the self-management of both AR and coexisting asthma. This mHealth app covers the majority of the self-management principles and is highly engaging.

description: The argument about whether the police are unfairly targeting for harassment innocent citizens because they are identifiable as blacks or Hispanics or simply going about their difficult jobs in a reasonably efficient way cannot be settled by listening to the testimony of the police themselves. An obvious way to resolve the contradictory perceptions is to get objective data on police behavior. To my knowledge, only the study of police behavior conducted by Professor Albert Reiss in the 1960s for the President's Commission on Law Enforcement and Administration of Justice meets scientific standards of objectivity.

What happens when the Design Process meets Community Engagement
Creators: name: Davis, Dylan
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Community Engaged Design is often framed as a binary opposite to Commercial Design. Through the investigation of four design case studies this research contributes two key findings –
1. that in the case of these projects, there were many variables that could affect the design process and
2. that the differences between commercial and community engaged design projects are not as great as the differences between different design projects.
Secondly, the research findings suggest that it is not only the clients’ instructions and the commissions that determine the designers’ processes and practices, but also the designers’ beliefs, intents, practices and values.
Cubegrades: Generalizing Association Rules

Year: 1999

description: Cubegrades are a generalization of association rules which represent how a set of measures (aggregates) is affected by modifying a cube through specialization (roll down), generalization (rollup) and mutation (which is a change in one of the cube’s dimensions). Cubegrades are significantly more expressive than association rules in capturing trends and patterns in data because they use arbitrary aggregate measures, not just COUNT, as association rules do. Cubegrades are atoms which can support sophisticated “what if” analysis tasks dealing with the behavior of arbitrary aggregates over different database segments. As such, cubegrades can be useful in marketing, sales analysis, and other typical data mining applications in business. We formally define cubegrades, show methods to generate them by using efficient pruning algorithms and finally define two query languages to generate and retrieve sets of cubegrades which satisfy user-defined conditions. We also demonstrate how to evaluate simple cubegrade queries and conclude with a number of open questions and possible extensions of the work.

description: This thesis will argue that the reduction of the bargaining power of unions and employees through legislative mechanisms is a central reason in the ‘crisis’ of wage stagnation in the Australian workforce. Chapter one will show the causal relationship between the economic conditions of low wage growth and the neoliberal ascendance in labour legislation leading to the shift away from industry bargaining under the conciliation and arbitration system to the dominance of enterprise bargaining, and consequent loss of union bargaining power. Chapter two will interrogate the method of collective bargaining under the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth) (FW Act or ‘the Act’), and specific provisions that undermine the ability of unions to bargain collectively. Whilst there are many mechanisms in the Act that do this, such as the restrictions on union right of entry and prohibited content in collective agreements, this thesis will focus on the key provisions that undermine bargaining, the good faith bargaining provisions, and the prohibition on pattern bargaining and restrictions on protected industrial action. These provisions weaken unions’ bargaining capacity, by reducing their bargaining scale, restricting industrial pressure unions use to bargain with, and allowing employers to refuse to make agreements. Together, these provisions severely the capacity of unions to use collective agreements to achieve wage increases. Chapter three will offer a legislative solution, designed to increase the collective bargaining power of unions and thus to improve wages and conditions for the Australian workforce. These recommendations involve removing restrictions on the scope of bargaining and encouraging the use of multi-enterprise bargaining, amending the good faith bargaining provisions, and repealing some of the restrictions on protected industrial action

description: Background: To control the COVID-19 pandemic high vaccine acceptability and uptake will be needed. Teachers represent a priority population to minimize social disruption and ensure continuity in education, which is vital for the well-being and healthy development of youth during the pandemic. The objective of this analysis was to measure public school teachers’ intentions to receive a COVID-19 vaccine in British Columbia (BC), Canada. Methods: A population-wide cross-sectional online survey from August to November 2020 asked all BC public school teachers with an available email address how likely they were to receive a COVID-19 vaccine. Two multivariable logistic regression models explored separately sociodemographic and vaccine hesitancy predictors for intention to receive a COVID-19 vaccine. Results: A total of 5,076 teachers participated. The majority, 89.7%, reported they were likely or very likely to accept a COVID-19 vaccine. In multivariable regression, sociodemographic predictors of intention to be vaccinated included being male, having an educational background in science or engineering, and using reliable information sources on vaccination such as public health and health care providers. Teachers who reported lower levels of vaccine hesitancy, higher general vaccine knowledge, and belief that COVID-19 was a serious illness were more likely to intend to receive a COVID-19 vaccine. Conclusion: A high proportion of public-school teachers in BC intend to receive a COVID-19 vaccine. Continued monitoring of vaccine intentions will be important to inform public health vaccine implementation.

description: Background Inverted classroom approaches and the use of vignettes have been suggested in health care education. The objective of this study was to use an educational vignette to discuss issues of stigma around substance use and mental disorders within undergraduate Doctor of Medicine in Dentistry (DMD) and Bachelor of Dental Science in Dental Hygiene (BDSc-DH) students at the University of British Columbia, Canada. Our research question was “how can an educational vignette, depicting a fictitious patient with a history of substance use and mental health disorders accessing dental care, promote an open dialogue about stigma?” Methods An educational vignette was developed based on individuals’ lived-experiences with a variety of substance use and/or mental health disorders. This vignette was used to generate in-class discussion involving all the DMD and BDSc-DH undergraduate students enrolled between 2015/16 and 2018/19 who attended a mandatory 2.5 h didactic session using an inverted classroom approach. Students were also encouraged to provide a post-class voluntary written reflection, between 200 and 300 words, around stigma. The authors took written field notes on students’ response to the vignette and used excerpts from students’ de-identified reflections to illustrate the impact of such an educational tool. Results A total of 323 DMD and BDSc-DH students attended the didactic sessions between 2015/16 and 2018/19, and 148 reflections were submitted over the same time period. The inverted classroom approached showed to be engaging and collaborative. The vignette promoted open dialogue and was determined to be a conducive tool to generate in-class discussion and reflection. Major themes from the textual data included ‘exploring power relations’ and ‘patient-centered care approach to counteract stigma’. The vignette also enabled the discussion of positive experiences characterized by empathy, reassurance and communication, although it might not have prompted all students to participate in class or in writing the reflections. Conclusion The inverted classroom approach and the vignette seemed to be an effective way to facilitate dialogue and reflection for most students. This study highlighted the need to explore innovative ways in which to continuously prepare current and future oral health care providers to professionally address the needs of patients with a history of substance use and/or mental health disorders.

description: This study documents for the first time the correlation between livability and subjective well being (SWB) across European cities. Livability is measured with the popular Mercer Quality of Living Survey and correlates considerably with SWB, measured as place and life satisfactions. There are outliers, for instance: the “unlivable” but “happy” Belfast (fool’s paradise) and the “livable,” but “unhappy” Paris (fool’s hell). In addition, we find geographic patterns: while the Mercer index ranks higher Western cities, subjective well being is higher in Northern cities. Smaller cities score higher on both livability and SWB, confirming thus the urban sociological theory of urban malaise while contradicting urban economic theory of city triumph.
Model-based refinement of search heuristics
Creators: name: Barley, Michael W.
Publisher: name: Rutgers University
Year: 1996

description: Search is one of the central problem-solving paradigms in Artificial Intelligence. Unfortunately, search can be quite expensive. Problem-solvers frequently use rejection heuristics to lower the cost of their searches. Unfortunately, these rejection heuristics can also prevent a problem-solver from solving a problem. I describe a new learning algorithm, SHAPeS, that enables the learner to modify both rejection heuristics implemented explicitly as search control rules and those implemented implicitly by either being embedded within the program code or by being incorporated into the search space generators. The SHAPeS learning algorithm only requires a solution to be supplied rather than needing that solution's problem-solving trace. This frees the system from having to find the solution itself. The SHAPeS algorithm is generally applicable to search-based problem-solvers. I discuss both the conditions for the algorithm's correctness and its computational complexity. I implemented a restricted version of SHAPeS, called Bacall, and in this thesis report on the results of experiments conducted to assess the utility of the Bacall learned modifications. The experiments show that not only can Bacall learned modifications extend a problem-solver coverage but can also enable it to run faster. The experiments also compare the utility of the Bacall learned modifications with the utility of current approaches to modifying rejection heuristics. The experiments show that Bacall learned modifications can improve the problem-solver's performance more than comparable modifications learned by the alternative approaches. Lastly, I identify three types of search control knowledge interactions that complicate the analysis of rejection heuristics' effects upon a problem-solver's coverage. These interactions cause modifications to a problem-solver's search control knowledge to have counter-intuitive effects upon the problem-solver's coverage. For example, removing rejection rules or specializing their preconditions can cause the problem-solver to become unable solve some problems. I also identify conditions that are sufficient to eliminate these types of interactions and that simplify the analysis of the effect of modifying a problem-solver's search control logic upon its coverage.
Model-driven endpoint development for testing environment emulation
Creators: name: Liu, Jian
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Conducting integration testing is a challenging task because production systems are generally neither suitable nor available for software testing and the cost to replicate such an environment is usually too high. Testing environment emulation is an emerging technique for creating a testing environment with realistic executable models of production-like behavior. Aiming to achieve high development productivity and ease of use, we have developed a novel domain-specific modeling approach for testing environment emulation. Our approach is based on model-driven engineering, where developers work on high level abstraction models and executable code will be generated by transforming these models using code generators.

description: Studies exploring the emotional experiences of members of transnational families have often highlighted the emotional suffering of mothers and children separated from one another as a result of transnational migration. Taking Ghana as a case example, this paper complicates this picture by showing how parents and children in Ghanaian transnational families have different emotional responses to their separation, in which the parents express less suffering over the situation than their children. Their different discourses about the goals for parent-child relationships and their sense of agency in achieving these goals affect their expression of emotions. This paper argues that we need to pay attention to the ideologies and sense of agency of social actors in different social positions in order to understand the ways that transnational migration structures feelings.
