description: The β-D-Mannuronic acid (M2000) as a novel immunosuppressive drug, patented (PCT/EP2017/067920), has shown positive effects in experimental model of multiple sclerosis (MS). In this study, our aim was to assess efficacy and safety outcomes in MS treated patients with mannuronic acid compared to the conventional drug. In a 6-month, randomized controlled, phase II trial, we enrolled patients who had secondary progressive multiple sclerosis (SPMS), were 21–54 years of age, with a score of 1–7 on the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS), and who had at least one relapse in the previous 6 months. Patients were administered orally 1000 mg/day (two 500 mg/capsule daily) of M2000. Endpoints included changes in brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) measures and the EDSS score, as compared to the conventional drug (interferon beta-1a, interferon beta-1b). A total of 25 (92.5%) of the M2000 treated patients and 25 conventionally treated patients completed the study. M2000 had better performance compared to the conventional drug regarding to MRI-related measurements, however, the differences between groups were not statistically significant. M2000 decreased the disability progression over the 6-month period. The EDSS score was decreased in the M2000 treated group in the sixth month versus the conventional drug (p As compared with the conventional drug, mannuronic acid (M2000) improved the rate of disability progression. This clinical trial demonstrated the efficacy and safety of mannuronic acid in patients with SPMS. (Registered Clinical Trials number, IRCT2016111313739N6).

Nativity Status and Latinx Mothers: Stress, Resilience, Depression and Motherhood

subject: mixed-methods research design

description: Immigration has been implicated as a factor in determining the psychological well-being of Latinx parents and their children. Processes related to immigration may result in greater stress and depression over time; however, they may also foster greater resilience. Psychological symptomology and the development of stress, depression, and resilience compounded with immigration experiences may affect how Latinx mothers conceptualize motherhood. The ideology of child-centric support and intensive mothering present in the United States is associated with class status (Lareau, 2011) and racial or ethnic identity (Crane & Christopher, 2018) in which those with lower class status or marginalized racial or ethnic identities may hold more meaningful ideologies in the face of this hegemonic ideology. The current study examines the association between the nativity status of Latinx women and their stress, depression, and resilience, and how their experiences of immigration affect their conceptions of motherhood and their roles as mothers through a mixed-methods design. There was no significant effect of nativity status on total stress, depression, and resilience, though a marginally significant effect of lack of health insurance on increased stress was identified. Latinx mothers in the sample expressed child-centric support as proscribed by intensive mothering ideology regardless of nativity status. Further research should investigate the role that nativity status and immigration have on psychological factors for Latinx mothers, as well as the unique role nativity, plays in the experience of motherhood for Latinx mothers.

description: Much research within the noncritical perspective on the public sphere has been quantitative. To strengthen the argument for an ideologically disinterested approach to the study of publicity and counterpublicity, we use ethnomethodological discourse analysis to analyze how far-right movements claim counterpublicity, or “do being a counterpublic.” Specifically, we study the U.S. pundit Alex Jones and a prayer meeting of South Korean Evangelical Christians. For each, we considered how they created a shared discourse and attempted to change mainstream discourse while claiming being marginalized and different from the mainstream. Across these two case studies, the strategies for “doing being a counterpublic” are similar, even though they use different organizing symbols—conspiracy in the U.S. versus religion in Korea. These case studies show that the functionalist perspective yields benefits to understanding how publicity and counterpublicity are negotiated among various groups of activist citizens.

description: At the outset of the study, the appropriate inculcation of the religious element into secular educational activity is posited as the source of developmental incentives as they are generated within Jordan University College. The adequate description and elucidation of its empirically available religious elements become possible due to the employment of the network theory of the church by which it is assumed that, within the horizon of human relationships, there is formed a web of mutual interdependency and interaction through which suitable channels for the self-manifestation of the religious elements are created. Just as this element is one of the key components of the motivation of individuals enmeshed within the networks of ecclesiastical bodies, so does it effectively influence their way of thinking and valuing that they start to act in pro-developmental modes. The study discloses the following dimensions of the transforming impact of the religious element upon secular activity: the activity aimed at ensuring the financial stability of the institution and optimising financial outlay, the self-creation of the methods which allow the institution to compete successfully in the educational services market, the smooth transition from the fulfilment of the purely educational to the social functions. There are obtained within these areas, the abilities, skills and virtues which can easily be transferred into the closer and wider environment of this organisational unit as the institution networks outwards into its surrounding environment.

description: Increasing evidence suggests that unethical citation practices (e.g., inaccurate quotations, excessive self-citations, coercive citations, selective/biased citations, citation cartels, citation padding) negatively affect research integrity and mar the scholarly literature. This poster presents our methods to conduct of a survey of journal editors about a wide range of citation practices, some ethically dubious and some laudable. In a previous phase, we surveyed 257 US-based researchers in receipt of federal funding (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.6205453). Since surveyed researchers are likely authors of peer-reviewed manuscripts, they are inevitably affected by editorial decisions pre-/post-publication of manuscripts. However, scant research exists on editors’ attitudes about and responses to various citation practices they encounter. Therefore, in this follow-up survey, we will query journal editors about:
 - The extent to which various citation practices are perceived as unethical
 - The way editors manage citation practices perceived as unethical
 - How editor attitudes and practices regarding citations vary with journal characteristics (e.g., discipline, size, impact factor, peer review model) and editorial experience. Our research instrument consists of multiple choice and fictional scenarios inspired by existing literature from various disciplines on citation norms, our own interactions with journal editors and also Cambridge University Press’ experiences with citation ethics. Consistent with our previous methodology, we are soliciting feedback from selected editors in our network and will then pilot the survey with a small group of editors before scaling up recruitment and participation. The results of this study will help inform journal, publisher, and researcher guidance on citation practices.

description: This article explores the role of narratives about racial identity in constituting ethical performances in dialogue. Specifically, a dialogic communication ethics is described and placed in the context of intergroup dialogue (IGD) and communication approaches to dialogue. Then the focus turns to how these ethical frames and models for conducting dialogue functioned in a large-scale campus dialogue on race and whiteness. The article addresses the ways identities were constructed and deployed in the dialogues by examining how dialogue topics are framed and discussed by facilitators and participants. This discussion of intention and outcome raises theoretical and practical questions in order to facilitate further conversations about identity and ethics in a controversially “Post-racial” era. Finally, the article looks at how communication ethics and dialogue might work to address the discursive power of social group identities in pedagogical discussions of civility, inclusion, merit or a “good” life.

description: Nella tesi consideriamo i principali fattori che influenzano l'andamento demografico dei paesi industrializzati e ne descriviamo le implicazioni per i sistemi pensionistici. Dopo una descrizione dei principali modelli di mortalit� stocastica utilizzati in letteratura, analizziamo due datasets e scegliamo i migliori in termini di adattamento ai dati e proiezioni future. Vengono impostati due diversi problemi di massimizzazione. Il primo considera un consumatore che deve massimizzare l'utilit� del proprio consumo e delle somme che ricever� alla data di pensionamento in un contesto in cui sono presenti due sistemi pensionistici (il PAYG ed un funded puro). Il problema viene risolto mediante il metodo di Bellman. Il secondo considera un consumatore che massimizza l'utilit� del consumo durante l'intera vita lavorativa e pu� scegliere l'istante di pensionamento. Anche nel secondo problema sono considerati due sistemi pensionistici. Il problema � risolto tramite il metodo della martingala.
Fracture non-union: using the blast wave to our advantage

description: Fracture non-union is the failure of a fracture to heal and can confer long-term problems to the affected individual. The blast and ballistic mechanisms that typically cause combat injuries mean that fracture non-union is a particular problem amongst military personnel. Furthermore, a systematic review undertaken as part of this project showed that rates of fracture non-union have not improved over a century of warfare, highlighting the enduring clinical burden that this condition confers to defence. With limited treatment option for fracture non-union, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) represent a promising therapeutic option. Bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC), purported to contain high levels of MSCs, is already used in clinical practice to treat fracture non-union. Mechanotransduction describes the process through which a mechanical force can confer a biochemical signal within a cell, altering gene expression and stimulating cell differentiation. Blast victims present with a high incidence of heterotopic ossification, with the mechanism of action postulated as being a mechanotransducive transfer of energy from the blast wave stimulating osteoblastic transformation of MSCs. The experimental aspect of this project therefore sought to investigate whether a blast wave can induce osteoblastic transformation in MSCs, potentially offering a novel therapy to aid fracture healing. Upregulation in osteogenic gene expression and calcium mineralisation was observed in MSCs following blast wave exposure. However, these findings were not reproduced in BMAC samples with flow cytometry demonstrating a marked paucity of MSCs. Subsequent work demonstrated that growth factors likely mediate the osteogenic effect of BMAC and can be enhanced following exposure of BMAC to a single blast wave. The data presented in this thesis has shown that blast waves when used in conjunction with BMAC may provide a novel therapy for the treatment of fractures at high risk of developing a non-union, such as those sustained in combat from a blast mechanism. Development of subsequent pre-clinical and clinical studies is required to translate this work into a feasible clinical option to aid in the treatment and avoidance of fracture non-union.
Essays on systemic risk

description: The theme of this dissertation is economic stability. In the first chapter I show that interbank connections also have a positive effect on financial stability, via the bank-run channel. This is because they provide risk-sharing benefits to short-term creditors (outsiders), thus incentivizing them to ‘run on the bank’ less frequently. I argue that there is a trade-off between risk-sharing and cascading losses, both of which have an effect on stability. My novelty is the link I make between long-term welfare and financial stability. In view of the risk from the domino effect, policy makers sought to reduce credit exposures between Systemically Important Financial Institutions (SIFIs). One such policy was an amendment to the U.S. bankruptcy code in 2005-6. which expanded the exclusion of derivative positions from mandatory stay. Since this policy has two opposing effects, the question whether it was beneficial for financial stability is empirical. In the second chapter of this dissertation I ask exactly that question. I describe the challenges to identification, and document what had actually happened to financial stability in the four years period before the financial crisis. The final chapter deals with the question: how is it that economic outcomes can be highly volatile, while changes in economic fundamentals seem to be rather small? I develop a novel amplification mechanism that is closely related to the existence of multiple equilibria. I apply techniques from the global games literature in a macroeconomic model, showing that an economy with nominal wage rigidity exhibits a knife-edge property with erratic fluctuations around a threshold.
Developing a practical workflow for the application of multiwell deconvolution

description: Multiwell deconvolution converts pressure and rate histories from interfering wells into constant-rate pressure derivative responses of individual wells as if they were producing alone, and provides interference effects from any one well to any other. The deconvolved responses have the same duration as the corresponding pressure histories and allow identifying reservoir features not visible during individual build ups. The multiwell deconvolution algorithm used in this study was developed over several years as part of Imperial College Joint Industry Project (JIP) on “New Developments in Well Test Analysis”. A latest development was the introduction of constraints to decrease the non-uniqueness of the solutions and ensure their physical validity. The objective of the present study is (1) to further test the constrained multiwell deconvolution algorithm; and (2) to develop a practical workflow for deconvolution of well test data in interfering wells, covering the most common conditions encountered in actual fields, in particular highly depleted gas fields, and incomplete or erroneous flow rates. Deconvolution can only be applied to linear systems, i.e. to oil reservoirs directly, and to gas reservoirs with low to moderate pressure depletion after pressures have been replaced by pseudo-pressures to correct for non-linearity. Gas reservoirs with high pressure depletion, however, are highly non-linear systems for which linearization requires the use of pseudo-times instead of actual times in addition to the use of pseudo-pressures. In this study, pseudo-times are calculated numerically with a consistent, stable and fast numerical technique, called generalized integral quadrature (GIQ), which can handle sensitivity to numerical computations. A methodology supported by theory is introduced to correct for erroneous or missing rates. The use of multiwell deconvolution for oil reservoirs and gas reservoirs with low and high pressure depletion, and for erroneous or missing rates is illustrated with theoretical and field examples. Finally, this thesis investigates a number of practical issues in the use of multiwell deconvolution, such as the influence of numerical magnitude on deconvolution; and the need to convert all pressures to a common datum prior to deconvolution.
Effects of temperature inhomogeneity in lithium-ion batteries connected in series: experiments and modelling

Publisher: name: Imperial College London

description: In serial battery packs a mismatch in cell capacity, resistance and state of charge prevents the full utilization of the capacity of each of the cells. Cell utilization is also constrained by temperature effects as these affect the internal resistance of the cells and determine the onset of degradation. All these effects directly affect the capacity and the energy of serial battery packs and voltage imbalance is a symptom of discrepancies within the pack. The aim of this work is to understand the effect of temperature on voltage imbalance and propose mitigation solutions to the problem. To give the necessary background to the study, the electrochemical processes within a single lithium-ion battery and their temperature dependency are explained. The analysis is then expanded to describe the effects of temperature distribution on serial and parallel battery packs. To justify the topic of the present study, the causes of temperature distribution within battery packs are explained and existing mitigation methods, involving pack design and pack management, are discussed. The emerging voltage imbalance is experimentally studied in a pack of four cells in series. The effects of imbalance are experimentally quantified by comparing the performance of a battery pack under thermal equilibrium with that of a battery pack under temperature distribution. It is found that, when a battery pack is subject to a temperature distribution, cell operating voltage is a misleading indicator of State of Charge. The effects of balancing strategies on the thermally imbalanced pack are studied via a validated, thermally-coupled physics-based model created in Comsol. The instantaneous imbalance caused by temperature-dependent cell overpotentials is quantified and provides the basis for recommendations of effective balancing strategies for improved pack performance.
Transitions of care in the digital age: measuring and improving transitions of care using big data and digital technology

description: Many patients move between providers, teams, and settings over the course of their healthcare journey. These transitions of care are increasing in frequency as populations age, chronic diseases become more prevalent and provider work patterns move towards shorter shifts and larger care teams. Poorly executed transitions of care are a risk to patient safety and may contribute to duplication of tests, a higher cost of care and negative experiences for patients and providers. Despite the increasing relevance of care transitions to health systems, significant gaps in our understanding of these complex processes persist. The potential benefits of the digital healthcare revolution have not been realised. This thesis seeks to identify, measure, and better understand transitions of care by tapping into healthcare ‘big data’ sources, and to highlight the role digital technologies can play in improving these processes. The first part of this thesis provides a background to transitions of care and highlights how patients sit at the centre of care transitions. A qualitative interview study of patients transferring between hospitals identifies continuity of care and communication as key priorities for patients as they move between providers. The second part of this thesis uses hospital administrative big data to measure interhospital transitions of care in the NHS in England, identifying several barriers to care continuity in existing systems of care. The third part of this thesis examines transitions of care at the level of the clinician and patient within hospitals, tapping into electronic health record data to more accurately measure and better understand the hospital teams that care for patients. The final chapter of this thesis reports on the design of a digital interactive medical record interface that aims to improve care continuity and put patients at the forefront of their care transitions.
Essays on short selling

description: The purpose of this thesis is to study the trading behavior of short sellers. More specifically, we are interested in the information content embedded in disclosed short positions and the effects of short-selling restrictions. In the first chapter, we infer investors’ expectations about future stock returns through a measure of short conviction that exploits net short positions disclosed at the investor-stock level for European stock markets. A strategy that sells high-conviction stocks and buys low-conviction stocks, named Best Short, generates a risk-adjusted excess return that is larger than 8% per annum and differs from the performance of traditional strategies based on aggregate short interest. Its profitability, moreover, cannot be explained by transaction costs, stock characteristics, frictions in the securities lending market, leverage constraints, and measures of price efficiency. In the second chapter, we investigate whether short sellers are informed when they exit their positions, using publicly disclosed short positions in European stock markets. We find that short covering trades are associated with positive price impact, and future abnormal returns depend on whether short sellers exit their positions at a profit or at a loss. When short sellers close profitable short positions, we find evidence that future abnormal returns are positive. In contrast, when short sellers cover their trades at a loss, future abnormal returns are negative. Our results suggest that short sellers are generally informed when covering their shorts, but they are also sensitive to limits to arbitrage leading them to sometimes close their positions prematurely. In the third chapter, we present a theoretical framework to study the effects of short-selling bans on markets, and we test its predictions using cross-sectional variation in the European 2020 short-selling bans. The model’s novelty is in the way that institutional ownership affects the conditions under which bans help avert a sharp decline in prices. Empirically we find, consistent with the model, that tail risk was reduced in countries that implemented short-selling bans, and that this effect was more pronounced in stocks with low institutional ownership. However, bans were detrimental for liquidity and failed to support the average level of prices.
