description: In the context of the ageing workforce, late‐career development implies ongoing decisions during retirement regarding one's engagement in volunteering and bridge employment activities. While prior research has emphasized the role of the meaning of work in retirement decisions, it has not examined the roles that meaning in life and identity play in decisions made during retirement. Relying on the existential framework on meaning and career decision‐making, this article explores the role of social identities as retirees and as workers as critical self‐concept dimensions that may mediate the impact of meaning in life (search and presence) on their decisions to pursue bridge employment and to volunteer in retirement. Using an archival survey study relying on a time‐lagged design with a one‐year interval among 204 retirees, we found that retirees demonstrating a greater search for meaning in life exhibited positive identification with the worker social identity but negative identification with the retiree social identity. Additionally, worker social identity was positively associated with bridge employment; however, retiree social identity was negatively associated with bridge employment and positively with volunteering. The theoretical and practical implications of these findings are discussed.

description: Background: Large Language Models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT are gaining attention for their potential applications
in healthcare. This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic sensitivity of various LLMs in detecting hip or
knee osteoarthritis (OA) using only patient-reported data collected via a structured questionnaire, without prior
medical consultation.
Methods: A prospective observational study was conducted at an orthopaedic outpatient clinic specialized in hip
and knee OA treatment. A total of 115 patients completed a paper-based questionnaire covering symptoms,
medical history, and demographic information. The diagnostic performance of five different LLMs—including
four versions of ChatGPT, two of Gemini, Llama, Gemma 2, and Mistral-Nemo—was analysed. Model-generated
diagnoses were compared against those provided by experienced orthopaedic clinicians, which served as the
reference standard.
Results: GPT-4o achieved the highest diagnostic sensitivity at 92.3 %, significantly outperforming other LLMs.
The completeness of patient responses to symptom-related questions was the strongest predictor of accuracy for
GPT-4o (p < 0.001). Inter-model agreement was moderate among GPT-4 versions, whereas models such as
Llama-3.1 demonstrated notably lower accuracy and concordance.
Conclusions: GPT-4o demonstrated high accuracy and consistency in diagnosing OA based solely on patientreported
questionnaires, underscoring its potential as a supplementary diagnostic tool in clinical settings.
Nevertheless, the reliance on patient-reported data without direct physician involvement highlights the critical
need for medical oversight to ensure diagnostic accuracy. Further research is needed to refine LLM capabilities
and expand their utility in broader diagnostic applications.

description: The rapid transformation of the agri-food sector in developing countries has created rural off-farm employment opportunities, especially for women. There is a growing concern about worker welfare and employment conditions in agri-food and export sectors but empirical evidence on this issue is scant. We analyze contractual preferences of female workers in the horticultural export sector in Senegal. We use a discrete choice experiment to assess women’s preferences for a labour contract and employ a latent class model to capture preference heterogeneity. We find that women have a high willingness to accept a labour contract in the horticultural export industry and that differences in preferences for contract attributes can be explained by women’s empowerment status.

We show that this property allows the Chabauty-Kim method to be generalized to higher-dimensional varieties. In particular, we conditionally generalize several of the main Diophantine finiteness results in Chabauty-Kim theory to arbitrary number fields.

description: The European State Finance Database (ESFD) is an international collaborative research project for the collection of data in European fiscal history. There are no strict geographical or chronological boundaries to the collection, although data for this collection comprise the period between c.1200 to c.1815. The purpose of the ESFD was to establish a significant database of European financial and fiscal records. The data are drawn from the main extant sources of a number of European countries, as the evidence and the state of scholarship permit. The aim was to collect the data made available by scholars, whether drawing upon their published or unpublished archival research, or from other published material.

The ESFD project at the University of Leicester serves also to assist scholars working with the data by providing statistical manipulations of data and high quality graphical outputs for publication. The broad aim of the project was to act as a facilitator for a general methodological and statistical advance in the area of European fiscal history, with data capture and the interpretation of data in key publications as the measurable indicators of that advance. The data were originally deposited at the UK Data Archive in SAS transport format and as ASCII files; however, data files in this new edition have been saved as tab delimited files. Furthermore, this new edition features documentation in the form of a single file containing essential data file metadata, source details and notes of interest for particular files.

description: An updated analysis of all available neutrino oscillation evidence in Reactor (Kamland, first 145 days of data) and Solar experiments (SK day and night spectra, global rates from Homestake, SAGE and GALLEX) including the $SNO CC$ and $NC$ data is presented. In the framework of two active neutrino oscillations we determine the allowed regions in neutrino parameter space, we obtain, from the Kamland spectral shape and global signal, the following antineutrino best solution parameters, $ Δm^2_{kl}= 7.7\times 10^{-5} \eV^2, \tan^2θ_{kl}= 0.98.$ The overall effect of the measured observed ratio $R\sim 0.6$ is that the LMA region remains the only one which is still favored. Combining Kamland and Solar data and assuming CPT invariance, i.e. the same mass matrix for neutrino and antineutrinos, we obtain the following antineutrino best solution parameters (LMAI solution), $ Δm^2= 7.1\times 10^{-5} \eV^2,\tan^2θ= 0.47.$ A second solution (LMAII) appears for values $ Δm^2= 1.5\times 10^{-4} \eV^2, \tan^2θ= 0.48.$ We determine additionally individual neutrino mixing parameters and their errors from fits to marginal likelihood distributions, the values are compatible with previous results. In both methods, $χ^2$ minimization and marginal likelihood, the combined analysis of solar and Kamland data concludes that maximal mixing is not favored at the $\sim 3σ$ level at least.

description: The experiment was conducted at Multi Location Testing (MLT) site, Netrakona during rabi season of 2009-10 and 2010-11 to study the feasibility of intercropping of hybrid maize with different short duration vegetables and economic returns. Three intercrop combinations of hybrid maize along with sole maize were arranged in Randomized Complete Block Design replicated six times. There were four treatments viz., T1- Sole crop of maize, T2 - Three rows of red amaranth (25 cm apart) in between two (75 cm apart) rows of Maize, T3 - Three rows of bush bean (25 cm apart) in between two (75 cm apart) rows of Maize and T4 -Three rows of garden pea (25 cm apart) in between two (75 cm apart) rows of Maize. Yield contributing characters and yield of maize did not varied significantly due to intercropping with vegetables. The grain yield of maize in intercropped combination varied from 7.30-7.43 t/ha. But the highest grain yield (7.68 t/ha) was in sole maize. Maize equivalent yields in the intercrops ranged from 10.67-14.96 t/ha. The highest maize equivalent yield (14.96 t/ha), gross return (Tk. 224400/ha), gross margin (Tk.166830/ha) and benefit cost ratio (3.90) were obtained in maize + garden pea combination. The lowest maize equivalent yield (7.68 t/ha), gross return (Tk. 115200/ha), gross margin (Tk. 64128/ha) and benefit cost ratio (2.26) were obtained from sole crop of maize.

description: Due to the dynamics of today's working world, individuals face constantly changing work environments. As a consequence, careers are increasingly self-determined and require self-management, flexibility, and adaptability from individuals. Individuals need to develop the necessary skills and resources to successfully adapt to career dynamics. Career adaptability has emerged as a core concept in vocational and career research over recent decades. The concept is rooted in earlier notions of career maturity and has seen significant conceptual and empirical advancements. This chapter outlines the historical background, development, and different perspectives of the concept of career adaptability. It highlights empirical findings from exemplary studies, ranging from early to newer research on career adaptability. It also summarizes the accumulated empirical evidence based on relevant reviews and meta-analyses. Finally, the chapter discusses potential directions for future research on career adaptability as well as practical implications, with a specific focus on intervention studies conducted thus far.

description: We present results from spectroscopic observations with X-shooter at the Very Large Telescope of seven H2-bearing DLAs at high redshifts (z$_{\rm abs}\sim 2.5-3$). These DLAs were originally selected from the presence of strong H$_2$ lines directly seen at the DLA redshift in low-resolution, low S/N SDSS spectra. We confirm the detection of molecular hydrogen in all of them. We measure the column densities of HI, H$_2$ in various rotational levels, and metal species, and associated dust extinction. The metallicities, obtained from undepleted species, are in the range logZ=-0.8 to -0.2. We discuss the chemical enrichment in these clouds and compare their properties with that of other molecular-rich systems selected by other means. In particular, we show that three different methods of pre-selection of H$_2$-bearing DLAs in the SDSS have their own biases but complement each other mostly in terms of chemical enrichment. We use the rotational excitation of H$_2$ molecules together with the fine-structure energy levels of neutral carbon to constrain the physical conditions in the gas with the help of numerical modeling as well as analytical expressions for the surface density at which atomic to molecular conversion happens. We find that the H$_2$-bearing medium revealed by the studied DLAs has typical values for the kinetic temperature, hydrogen density, and UV radiation field of, respectively, T$\sim$100K, $n_{\rm H}\sim 100$ cm$^{-3}$, and I$_{\rm UV}$ about twice the intensity of the Draine field. Detailed studies combining different selections should, therefore, bring important clues to understand the HI-H$_2$ transition at high redshift.

The role of chemokine receptor trafficking in regulating neutrophil migration to inflammatory sites

description: Neutrophils are the first immune cells to be recruited to sites of tissue injury or infection. Upon detection of an inflammatory stimulus, neutrophils exit the vasculature and migrate directionally through the interstitial tissue towards the target site. Once at the target site, neutrophils may either focalise and form clusters or may exhibit a more dispersive and exploratory behaviour. Focalisation acts to concentrate local neutrophil effector responses but excess clustering can prove detrimental, resulting in undesirable tissue damage. Neutrophil dispersal promotes the encounter of alternative signals and therefore drives resolution of the response. A fine balance between focalisation and exploration must exist to ensure that the inflammatory response is effective but also transient and self-resolving. Neutrophils are recruited to target sites by gradients of attractant molecules, a major class of which is chemokines. Chemokines bind to G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) and initiate complex intracellular signalling cascades which ultimately result in directional neutrophil migration. Upon ligand binding, GPCRs can undergo multiple trafficking fates which may in turn influence sensitivity to the gradient. However, the functional significance of receptor trafficking during neutrophil responses in vivo remains unknown. Here, I address this question using zebrafish Cxcl8a (a homologue of human CXCL8) which signals through two G-protein coupled receptors, Cxcr1 and Cxcr2. Through new in vivo biosensors, I show that Cxcr1 and Cxcr2 exhibit differential trafficking in response to endogenous gradients. Cxcr1 is extensively internalised whilst Cxcr2 is sustained on the cell membrane. Live-imaging of receptor knockout neutrophils revealed that Cxcr1 promotes neutrophil clustering at wounds, whilst Cxcr2 drives dispersal. Through receptor mutagenesis I show that neutrophil dispersal relies on Cxcr1 internalisation and membrane sustenance of Cxcr2. Thus, I show that differential trafficking of two receptors balances the rise and fall of neutrophil inflammatory responses. To my knowledge, this is the first study to functionally link receptor dynamics to neutrophil migration behaviour in vivo.

description: Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology allows researchers to sequence genetic material from a wide range of sources, including patient and environmental samples, and ancient remains. The recovery of viruses from such datasets can provide insights into the diversity and evolution of both novel and already known viruses. This thesis focuses on two aspects of virus discovery in NGS datasets. In the first part of this thesis, I present ancient viral sequences from hepatitis B virus, human parvovirus B19, and variola virus. The sequences were recovered from NGS datasets from individuals living in Eurasia between ∼150 to ∼31,630 years ago, using standard sequence matching tools. The data show the past existence of viruses similar to variants circulating today. The sequences reveal a complexity of virus evolution that is not evident when considering modern sequences alone, including revised substitution rates and most recent common ancestor dates, as well as geographic movement and extinction of strains. The identification of viral sequences in NGS datasets relies heavily on sequence-based matching of unknown sequences to a database of known sequences. Comparisons are usually done at the nucleotide or amino acid level. However, those methods only work well on sequences closely related to those already present in the database. With the aim of identifying more diverged viral sequences, in the second part of this thesis, I present an algorithm to compare sequences based on predicted structural features, such as secondary structures and conserved amino acids. The algorithm is modelled after the music-matching algorithm ‘Shazam’. While initial results of the algorithm are somewhat encouraging, problems remain, in particular with the identification of adequate structural features. Identifying highly diverged viral sequences is thus still a challenging problem, hopefully to be solved in the future.

description: We propose a new supervised learning rule for multilayer spiking neural networks (SNNs) that use a form of temporal coding known as rank-order-coding. With this coding scheme, all neurons fire exactly one spike per stimulus, but the firing order carries information. In particular, in the readout layer, the first neuron to fire determines the class of the stimulus. We derive a new learning rule for this sort of network, named S4NN, akin to traditional error backpropagation, yet based on latencies. We show how approximated error gradients can be computed backward in a feedforward network with any number of layers. This approach reaches state-of-the-art performance with supervised multi fully-connected layer SNNs: test accuracy of 97.4% for the MNIST dataset, and 99.2% for the Caltech Face/Motorbike dataset. Yet, the neuron model that we use, non-leaky integrate-and-fire, is much simpler than the one used in all previous works. The source codes of the proposed S4NN are publicly available at https://github.com/SRKH/S4NN.

Supersonic Laser Deposition (SLD) is an emerging coating technology that can be used as an alternative to existing thermal spray processes. It has the benefit of low temperature, allowing the deposition of nanostructured and temperature sensitive coatings, which is not currently possible with existing thermal spray. This main aim of this work was to undertake an experimental study aimed at identifying the process mechanism used in the LaserForge process. The understanding of the process mechanism could then be applied to process improvements for SLD coatings. As part of this study the bonding mechanisms of both LaserForge and SLD were studied. Initially a laser system to enable the exploration of the LaserForge parameter space was specified and a system set up to enable investigation of LaserForge. The LaserForge process parameter space was characterised using a pulsed laser with Ti-64 on CP aluminium. Successful bonding was achieved with parameters of 10 ms pulse length, 1400 W per pulse and 0.8 mm spot diameter. The process was determined to be a form of welding-based laser cladding, a melt-based process. Following discovery that LaserForge was a melt-based process, the direction of work was changed to focus on the SLD process mechanisms. Several WC-17Co coatings were deposited as a single layer (0.5 mm thick) on carbon steel. The coating cross section morphology was characterised using an optical microscope and scanning electron microscope. A tensile pull off test was used to measure the coating adhesion, and a four-point bend test with acoustic emission was used to monitor the failure of the coating. Plastic failure of the coating was identified, and a test limited adhesion strength in excess of 70 MPa measured. The coating was shown to have a stress-to fracture of approximately 550 MPa in tension, and a reinforcement effect of approximately 100 MPa when compared to the uncoated substrate. The problems with the deposition of the coatings with SLD were investigated and characterised, with the thermal effect from the laser during deposition found to be significant. This work has characterised the mechanism behind the commercial LaserForge process and the deposition challenges of depositing WC-17Co using Supersonic Laser Deposition. The benefit of these advancements will provide guidance for the direction of future work into LaserForge, and Supersonic Laser Deposition of nanostructured and advanced materials.

description: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a group of immune-mediated autoinflammatory disorders, primarily manifesting in the gastrointestinal tract. Affecting millions of people around the world, IBD has a severe impact on patients’ quality of life. Several pharmacologic treatments have been available since the 1950s. However, the majority of patients either do not respond to a given therapy or lose response to a previously effective treatment and thus require therapeutic escalation. In the first research chapter of my thesis, I describe the results of the Personalised Anti-TNF Therapy in Crohn’s disease study. Immunogenicity to anti-TNF therapy is a major cause of loss of response, hypersensitivity reactions, and discontinuation of treatment in patients. Currently, immunogenicity cannot be predicted prior to treatment. My analysis has identified a strong dominant association in the HLA region on chromosome 6 (HLA-DQA1*05, P=5.9e-13; HR=1.90; 95% CI, 1.60 to 2.25). Around 40% of individuals of European ancestry carry HLA-DQA1*05, and the data suggest that around 95% of these would develop immunogenicity within the first year of infliximab monotherapy treatment (a common anti-TNF treatment regime). In the second research chapter of my thesis, I describe a genome-wide association study of thiopurine-induced liver damage (TILI). Ultimately, the study was underpowered to detect any associations of moderate effect size and did not detect any associations of high effect size amongst the common genetic variants. Interestingly, I was not able to replicate the association in PTPN22, which was reported to be a risk factor for drug-induced liver damage by Cirulli et al. – suggesting that its effect might be heterogeneous depending on the therapy. Finally, the third research chapter describes the initial analysis of the IBD 15x dataset – a whole-genome sequencing association study of around 7,000 IBD patients paired with 12,000 matching controls. I provide an overview of the sample quality control procedures and describe some of the novel challenges that sequencing studies bring in comparison to standard GWAS (e.g., sample cross-contamination due to index mismatching). Finally, I also provide the results of the initial meta-analysis of the exome-sequencing dataset produced by the Broad Institute. The results demonstrate that rare coding genetic variants play a role in IBD pathogenesis.

description: The European State Finance Database (ESFD) is an international collaborative research project for the collection of data in European fiscal history. There are no strict geographical or chronological boundaries to the collection, although data for this collection comprise the period between c.1200 to c.1815. The purpose of the ESFD was to establish a significant database of European financial and fiscal records. The data are drawn from the main extant sources of a number of European countries, as the evidence and the state of scholarship permit. The aim was to collect the data made available by scholars, whether drawing upon their published or unpublished archival research, or from other published material.

The ESFD project at the University of Leicester serves also to assist scholars working with the data by providing statistical manipulations of data and high quality graphical outputs for publication. The broad aim of the project was to act as a facilitator for a general methodological and statistical advance in the area of European fiscal history, with data capture and the interpretation of data in key publications as the measurable indicators of that advance. The data were originally deposited at the UK Data Archive in SAS transport format and as ASCII files; however, data files in this new edition have been saved as tab delimited files. Furthermore, this new edition features documentation in the form of a single file containing essential data file metadata, source details and notes of interest for particular files.

description: The experimentally observed correlated insulating states and quantum anomalous Hall (QAH) effect in twisted bilayer graphene (TBG) have drawn significant attention. However, up to date, the specific mechanisms of these intriguing phenomena are still open questions. Using a fully unrestricted Hartree-Fock variational method, we have explained the correlated insulating states and QAH effects at various integer fillings of the flat bands in TBG. Our results indicate that states breaking flavor (valley and spin) symmetries are energetically favored at all integer fillings. In particular, the correlated insulating states at $\pm 1/2$ filling and at the charge neutrality point are all valley polarized sates which break $C_{2z}$ and time-reversal ($\mathcal{T}$) symmetries, but preserves $C_{2z}\mathcal{T}$ symmetry. Such valley polarized states exhibit "moiré orbital antiferromagnetic ordering" on an emergent honeycomb lattice with compensating circulating current pattern in the moiré supercell. Within the same theoretical framework, our calculations indicate that the $C\!=\!\mp 1$ QAH states at $\pm 3/4$ fillings of the magic-angle TBG are spin and orbital ferromagnetic states, which emerge when a staggered sublattice potential is present. We find that the nonlocalness of the exchange interactions tend to enhance the bandwidth of the low-energy bands due to the exchange-hole effect, which reduces the gaps of the correlated insulator phases. The nonlocal exchange interactions also dramatically enhance the spin polarization of the system, which significantly stabilize the orbital and spin ferromagnetic QAH state at $3/4$ filling of TBG aligned with hexagonal boron nitride (hBN). We also predict that, by virtue of the orbital ferromagnetic nature, the QAH effects at electron and hole fillings of hBN-aligned TBG would exhibit hysteresis loops with opposite chiralities.

description: In non-oscillatory (NO) inflationary models, the reheating mechanism was usually based on gravitational particle production or the mechanism of instant preheating. In this paper we introduce the curvaton mechanism into NO models to reheat the universe and generate the curvature perturbation. Specifically we consider the Peebles-Vilenkin quintessential inflation model, where the reheating temperature can be extended from 1MeV to $10^{13}$GeV.

description: In the research area of time series classification, the ensemble shapelet transform algorithm is one of state-of-the-art algorithms for classification. However, its high time complexity is an issue to hinder its application since its base classifier shapelet transform includes a high time complexity of a distance calculation and shapelet selection. Therefore, in this paper we introduce a novel algorithm, i.e. short isometric shapelet transform, which contains two strategies to reduce the time complexity. The first strategy of SIST fixes the length of shapelet based on a simplified distance calculation, which largely reduces the number of shapelet candidates as well as speeds up the distance calculation in the ensemble shapelet transform algorithm. The second strategy is to train a single linear classifier in the feature space instead of an ensemble classifier. The theoretical evidences of these two strategies are presented to guarantee a near-lossless accuracy under some preconditions while reducing the time complexity. Furthermore, empirical experiments demonstrate the superior performance of the proposed algorithm.

description: We construct new explicit non-singular metrics that are complete on non-compact Riemannian 8-manifolds with holonomy Spin(7). One such metric, which we denote by A_8, is complete and non-singular on R^8. The other complete metrics are defined on manifolds with the topology of the bundle of chiral spinors over S^4, and are denoted by B_8^+, B_8^- and B_8. The metrics on B_8^+ and B_8^- occur in families with a non-trivial parameter. The metric on B_8 arises for a limiting value of this parameter, and locally this metric is the same as the one for A_8. The new Spin(7) metrics are asymptotically locally conical (ALC): near infinity they approach a circle bundle with fibres of constant length over a cone whose base is the squashed Einstein metric on CP^3. We construct the covariantly-constant spinor and calibrating 4-form. We also obtain an L^2-normalisable harmonic 4-form for the A_8 manifold, and two such 4-forms (of opposite dualities) for the B_8 manifold.
