Creators: name: Morris, Katie JA
Publisher: name: University of Lincoln
Year: 2024
Subjects: B900 - Others in subjects allied to medicine

description: Background: The MMSE is commonly used as a screening instrument for cognitive impairment in stroke services. However, recent research has shown that it has poor diagnostic validity for use in this patient population. The purpose of this study was to examine the validity of the ACE-R as an alternative screening measure for use in stroke.Objectives: The first objective was to determine whether the ACE-R is more accurate than the MMSE at detecting overall cognitive impairment in stroke. The second objective was to determine the accuracy of the ACE-R subscales for detecting impairments in specific cognitive domains.Methods: This study had a cross-sectional design. 40 patients were recruited from an inpatient stroke service. They were administered the ACE-R (which includes the MMSE), and a battery of more detailed neuropsychological tests, which served as the ‘gold standard’ for classification of impairment. The diagnostic validity of the ACE-R and MMSE was determined by ROC analysis.Results: Both the MMSE and the ACE-R were found to have inadequate diagnostic validity for the detection of overall cognitive impairment. No cut-scores scores could be identified which yielded test sensitivity of >80% and specificity of >60%. Levels of specificity were particularly poor. The ACE-R subscales showed a similar pattern of performance, indicating inadequate validity for the detection of impairment in specific areas of cognitive functioning.Conclusions: There was no support for the use of the MMSE or the ACE-R when screening for cognitive impairment in acute stroke. Further research should focus on the identification of an alternative measure.

title: The London International Festival of Theatre (LIFT) in Context, 1947-2016
Creators: name: Patey-Ferguson, Phoebe
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London
Year: 2022

description: This thesis maps the London International Festival of Theatre (LIFT) in its social, political, economic and cultural contexts from its inception in 1981 until 2016. Founded by Rose de Wend Fenton and Lucy Neal, LIFT established an innovative festival form that sought to create social, political and artistic change by presenting high-quality, avant-garde international theatre and performance throughout London. By locating the innovations of LIFT in the sociopolitical context of its creation and in direct relation to historical developments, it argues that international theatre festivals can act as catalysts for change through transforming ways of seeing and being, produced in and productive of the broader societal landscape. Opening with a historical perspective on LIFT, this thesis first gives context to its emergence in the 1980s and the role of international theatre festivals as they were first introduced into the field of theatre. It then examines LIFT’s development through four decades up to the present day, examining its shifting positions in the field. Methodologically rooted in the framework of the sociology of the theatre, the thesis interweaves archival research and primary observations with an exploration of the sociological, economic and political factors that have driven the creation and evolution of international theatre festivals in Britain. The thesis explores the dominant influence of neoliberal ideology in all contemporary areas of British life, arguing that their principles interpenetrate the field of cultural production to the extent that limits the possibilities of festivals achieving their full social purpose. Pierre Bourdieu’s theory of culture and Maria Shevtsova’s development of Bourdieu’s theory in relation to theatre, provides the theoretical frame of the thesis.

description: BackgroundSensory sensitivity (SS) is defined as the level to which an individualis able to regulate their responses to sensory input. Children withAutistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) have been found to display unusualand abnormal levels of SS. These variabilities in SS have beenassociated with poorer levels of adaptive behaviour, behaviouraldifficulties and emotional problems. Parental questionnaires arefrequently used to assess children’s SS. However concern has beenraised regarding the use of parents as the sole informant. This studyaimed to assess whether parental reports of children’s SS wereconsistent with alternative informants’ (school staff) reports.MethodsThe Short Sensory Profile (SSP: Dunn, 1999) was administered to 72pairs of parents/caregivers and school staff, to be completed forchildren with ASD (aged 4 to 18 years). This 38 item questionnairehighlights variations of sensory modulation and provides a totalscore, and 7 factor/subsection scores relating to different aspects ofsensory processing (e.g. auditory filtering). This study utilisedintraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) values to assess the level ofagreement.

description: Herbicides are a powerful weed control tool for farming operations around the world. A perceived over-reliance on herbicides for weed control has sparked much debate on how to best incorporate herbicides into sustainable weed management systems. To have an informed discussion on the future of herbicide use, it is important to understand current trends of how herbicides are being used. This presentation will explore several aspects of US herbicide use in several crops before and after the introduction of glyphosate-resistant crops.

Bayesian Optimal Investment and Reinsurance to Maximize Exponential Utility of Terminal Wealth
Creators: name: Leimcke, Gregor
Publisher: name: Karlsruhe
Year: 2020

description: We herein discuss the surplus process of an insurance company with various lines of business. The claim arrivals of the lines of business are modelled using multivariate point process with interdependencies between the marginal point processes, which depend only on the choice of thinning probabilities. The insurer's aim is to maximize the expected exponential utility of terminal wealth by choosing an investment-reinsurance strategy, in which the insurer can continuously purchase proportional reinsurance and invest its surplus in a Black-Scholes financial market consisting of a risk-free asset and a risky asset. We separately investigate the resulting stochastic control problem under unknown thinning probabilities, unknown claim arrival intensities and unknown claim size distribution for a univariate case. We overcome the issue of uncertainty for these three partial information control problems using Bayesian approaches that result in reduced control problems, for which we characterize the value functions and optimal strategies with the help of the generalized Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation, in which derivatives are replaced by Clarke's generalized gradients. As a result, we could verify that the proposed investment-reinsurance strategy is indeed optimal. Moreover, we analysed the influence of unobservable parameters on optimal reinsurance strategies by deriving comparative results with the case of complete information, which shows a more risk-averse behaviour under more uncertainty. Finally, we provide numerical examples to illustrate the comparison results.

Year: 2020
Subjects: Auxiliary information; Non-response; Mean square error

description: This paper introduces an efficient estimation procedure for the population mean in the presence of non-response. The proposed estimators of population mean provides an improvement over the corresponding conventional estimators proposed by Cochran (1977), Rao (1983, 1986) and Singh and Kumar (2008, 2010) under the deterministic non-response in terms of efficiency. A comparative study has been performed and it has been shown that the proposed estimators perform better in comparison to the conventional estimators. The theoretical findings are supported by an empirical study.

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

Subjects: Lomax distribution; Hazard rate function; Maximum likelihood estimation; Survival function

description: We introduce a new lifetime distribution, called the alpha-power transformed Lomax (APTL) distribution which generalizes the Lomax distribution to provide better fits than the Lomax distribution and some of its known generalizations. Various properties of the proposed distribution, including explicit expressions for the quantiles, mode, moments, conditional moments, mean residual lifetime, stochastic ordering, Bonferroni and Lorenz curve, stress-strength reliability and order statistics are derived. The new distribution can have a decreasing and upside-down bathtub failure rate function depending on its parameters. The maximum likelihood estimators of the three unknown parameters of APTL are obtained. A simulation study is carried out to examine the performances of the maximum likelihood estimates in terms of their mean squared error using simulated samples. Finally, the potentiality of the distribution is analyzed by means of two real data sets. For the real data sets, this distribution is found to be superior in its ability to sufficiently model both the data sets as compared to the Lomax (L) distribution, exponentiated-Lomax (EL) distribution, gamma-Lomax (GL) distribution, beta-Lomax (BL) distribution and Kumaraswamy-Lomax (KuL) distribution.

Year: 2020
Subjects: Sensitive variable; Successive occasions; Scrambled response model; Population mean; Optimum matching fraction

description: Surveys related to sensitive issues are accompanied with social desirability response bias which flaw the validity of analysis. This problem became serious when sensitive issues are estimated on successive occasions. The scrambled response technique is an alternative solution as it preserve respondents anonymity. Therefore, the present article endeavours to propose an improved class of estimators for estimating sensitive population mean at current occasion using an innocuous variable in two occasion successive sampling. Detailed properties of the estimators are analysed. Optimum allocation to fresh and matched samples are obtained. Many existing estimators in successive sampling have been modified to work for sensitive population mean estimation under scrambled response technique. The proposed estimators has been compared with recent modified estimators. Theoretical considerations are integrated with empirical and simulation studies to ascertain the efficiency gain derived from the proposed improved class of estimators.

A Study on the Selection Pattern of Players in any Team Sport

Publisher: name: Statistica
Year: 2020
Subjects: Cricket; Inclusion and exclusion; Copula

description: In this paper, we study the pattern of inclusion and exclusion of players from a team in any team sport. Usually these inclusions and exclusions are related to the player’s performance in the matches previously played. Also the inclusion and exclusion at any particular cycle depends on the player’s history as observed through the number of times he has been included or excluded previously. The focus of this paper is to study this pattern for cricketers who have represented their respective countries in One Day Internationals (ODIs). As observed in the study, there is a distinct difference in the inclusion and exclusion patterns of bowlers and batsmen, and hence the two groups have been studied separately. Respective survival functions over the cycles of inclusion and exclusion have been constructed for both groups. These reveal several interesting features regarding the chances of an ODI cricketer being retained or dropped from the team.

Subjects: C800 - Psychology

description: This study explored the subjective experience of nurses working with female inpatientsengaging in frequent and severe self-injury. Instances of self-injurywithin female secure inpatient hospitals include scratching of the skin, selfligationand removal of body parts. Six nurses working at a high secure hospitalin England were interviewed using interpretative phenomenological analysismethodology. From the data, two super-ordinate themes were established;‘Experiencing of affect’ and ‘containing processes’. ‘Experiencing of affect’involved the sub themes: ‘fear of patient death, ‘state of perturbation’ and‘culmination of stress’. The theme ‘containing processes’ involved sub-themes:‘Habituation’ (toward the self-injury), ‘enjoyment of the job’, ‘establishingboundaries’ and ‘peer support’. It was hypothesised that these latter themesprovided some containment for nurses’ distress or protection from the negativeimpacts of working with self-injury. These findings differ somewhat from existingliterature on professionals working with self-injury. The theoretical and clinicalimplications of these findings for nursing practice when working with self-injuryare considered.

description: The capture-recapture method is widely used by epidemiologists to estimate the size of hidden populations using incomplete and overlapping lists of subjects. Closed populations, heterogeneity of inclusion probabilities and dependence between lists are taken into consideration in this work. The main objective is to propose a new parameterization for the Poisson log linear odel (LLM) to treat continuous covariates in their original measurement scale. The analytic estimate of the confidence bounds of the hidden population is also provided. Proposed model was applied to simulated and real capture-recapture data and compared with the multinomial conditional logit model (MCLM). The proposed model is very similar to the MCLM in dealing with continuous covariates and the analytic confidence interval performs better than the bootstrap estimate in case of small sample size.

description: The results of this geomorphological study, which focuses on four Mediterranean embayed microtidal wave-dominated beach systems and the related inner shelf, are reported on a detailed geomorphological map (1:12,000 scale). The study area is located between Punta di Li Francesi and Lu Poltiddolu in NW Sardinia, W of the Strait of Bonifacio. The Main Map presents geomorphological, sedimentological, hydrodynamical and ecological (underwater vegetation) features indicated in nine sections of the map legend. Integrative maps (1:40,000 scale) of side-scan sonar surveys, sedimentary facies, survey routes and sampling point locations are also represented on the Main Map. This work summarizes 25 years of historical geomorphological datasets and can be considered as a reference for future comparisons of the study area as indicated by current European legislation. In addition to the scientific value of this study, the proposed map can be an important tool for coastal, beach and inner shelf management.

description: It is essential estimating the spatial distribution of soil organic carbon (SOC) and soil total nitrogen (STN) stocks and their spatial-temporal variations to understand the role of soil in ecosystem services and in the global cycles of carbon and nitrogen. This work was aimed to quantify and map the stocks of SOC and STN in topsoils in an area of the Biogenetic Natural Reserve ‘Marchesale’ (Calabria region, southern Italy). Forest soil samples (0–20 cm depth) were collected at 231 locations and analysed in laboratory for SOC and STN. Moreover, in all samples, bulk density (BD) and soil coarse fragments (SCFs) were determined. Geostatistics was used to map all soil properties (SOC, STN, BD and SCFs) and the stocks of SOC and STN. The mean stock values were 86.3 Mg ha−1 for SOC and 5.1 Mg ha−1 for STN. The total amounts stored in the study area (33.2 ha) were 2865.2 Mg for SOC and 170.1 Mg for STN. Although only the topsoil was considered, the accompanying maps (1:4000 scale) will be useful for the sustainable management of the Biogenetic Natural Reserve ‘Marchesale’ and for undertaking appropriate conservation plans to mitigate the emissions of greenhouse gases.
An investigation of staff attitudes towards challenging behaviour in intellectually disabled offenders: exploring the influence of staff characteristics and behavioural attributions

description: Background: There is little research on staff attitudes towards Intellectually Disabled (ID) offenders, particularly their attitudes towards challenging behaviour. Past research from ID and offender populations indicate that staff characteristics such as age, gender, experience, training and qualification may influence the attributions staff make about challenging behaviour. Additionally both staff characteristics and attributions may influence staffs? emotional reactions.Method: 91 staff working with ID offenders completed questionnaires measuring staff demographic characteristics, attributional styles (Challenging Behaviour Attribution Scale, Hastings 1997b) and emotional reactions towards challenging behaviour (Mitchell & Hastings, 1998).Results: A number of demographic factors correlated with attribution styles. Gender, qualification and attributional style were all correlated with the negativity of attitudes held. However, these alone cannot account for the total variance within staff attitudes.0910, RES, Research Project, UofN: 4073825, UofL: 07091892 Page | 6Conclusions: A number of staff groups are vulnerable to negative emotional reactions and require support in working with challenging behaviour.

Redundant Design and Adaptive Control of an Interleaved Continuum Rigid Manipulator

Subjects: subject: 90602 Control Systems, Robotics and Automation
subject: FOS: Electrical engineering, electronic engineering, information engineering

description: Continuum manipulator compliance enables operation in delicate environments at the cost of challenging actuation and control. In the case of catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation, the compliance of the continuum backbone lends an inherent safety to the device. This inherent safety frustrates attempts at precise, accurate, and fast control, limiting these devices to simple, static positioning tasks. This dissertation develops Interleaved Continuum-Rigid Manipulation, by which the hysteretic nonlinearities encountered in tendon-actuated continuum manipulators are compensated by discrete rigid joints located between continuum sections. The rigid joints introduce actuation redundancy, which an interleaved controller may use to avoid continuum nonlinearities and dynamic excitations, or to prefer particular configurations that may improve task accuracy, permit greater end-effector forces, or avoid environment obstacles. Two experimental systems explore the potential of these joints to 1) correct for actuation nonlinearities and enhance manipulator performance and 2) increase the manipulator’s dexterous workspace. These experiments expose important design and control observations that were not apparent in the general robotic and continuum literature.

description: Betreft data (geluidsbestanden, boekhouding van 20 focusgesprekken) die verzameld en gebruikt is bij het onderzoek naar de wijkeconomie in Zuidoost.

Wanneer we spreken over ‘wijkeconomie’ gaat het vrijwel altijd over ‘de markt’ van vraag en aanbod in een wijk welke vaak in kwantitatieve financieel-economische termen wordt beschreven. Als we de definitie van wijkeconomie er op naslaan dan zien we dat er ook ruimte is voor een bredere betekenis van het begrip. De definitie luidt: “Het volledig benutten van de economische potenties van een wijk en haar bewoners, waardoor een bijdrage wordt geleverd aan de economische vitaliteit en de leefbaarheid van een wijk.” (Ministerie van Economische Zaken, 2010). Er is dus ook een wijkeconomie die niet altijd in getallen uit te drukken is. Dat laatste hebben we aangegrepen en met dit artikel kijken wij hoe bewoners en lokaal ondernemers tegen hun wijkeconomie aankijken.

description: This deliverables shows the developed and deployed water-smart applications, demonstrated at six Living Labs (LLs). The different solutions are conceptually assembled into 2 coherent toolkits, a) the monitoring, negotiation and decision support solutions toolkit and b) the water cycle modelling and assessment solutions toolkit.

The current report documents the final release of the monitoring, negotiation and decision support solutions toolkit which is comprised of the following ten tools: the water reuse strategic platform, the environment for decision support and alternative course selection, Re-Actor, the sludge management platform, the UWC observatory, the stormwater reuse management system, the Nessie System, the Environmental Dashboard, the Digital Enabler and the climate-readiness certification tool and complements the other toolkit.

The final release of the toolkit aims at updating the readers about the latest developments of tools, focusing on tool description, attributes and information around pre-existing background, developments/advancements within the project, navigation and primary functionalities, interoperability, indicative applications and synergistic benefits and how to access each tool and test data. This report dives deeper in the application of tools to the LLs by introducing initially the water-smartness challenges and ambition of the LLs, presents the selected technologies and products and explains the integrative use, conceptual links, data flows and pilot interactions. Further, it describes the pre-processing stage and setup process before documenting the final results and lessons learned from tools and technologies’ application to the LLs. Building on results from the cases, the toolkit attempts to provide a more holistic and complementary picture of how water-smartness can be enhanced while highlighting complementarity and replicability aspects of tools.

Evidence-based practice: a trainee clinical psychologist perspective
Creators: name: Chapman, Lynn
Publisher: name: University of Lincoln
Year: 2024
Subjects: C800 - Psychology

description: Evidence-based practice (EBP) is now the dominant model in health care; its aim is to increase the use of research evidence to inform clinical decision making. Clinical practice guidelines are the predominant method by which research is distilled into practice recommendations. Clinical psychology has its own model which promotes the integration of research evidence with clinical expertise, the scientist practitioner model (SPM). Recent developments within the United Kingdom health service, such as the Improving Access to Psychological Therapies programme have stimulated debate about the types of evidence that is often prioritised within the EBP model. This study aimed to explore these concepts with current third year clinical trainee psychologists, with a view to seeing how they construct these models. The findings suggest that the SPM may be more accurately termed the reflective-scientist-practitioner, or the critical-reflective-scientist-practitioner; in acknowledgment of the importance placed on these skills by participants who saw them as central to their role. The current study indicates participants were unaware of the APA (2006) definition of EBP; recommendations include that clinical training courses consider including teaching around both models, exploring the complexity of the underlying debates, in doing so trainees will be more informed about the models that shape their chosen profession

description: Scientists more or less agree that emotions in humans act as a “mental guide” and affect our behavior. Emotions like fear, sadness and joy tell us which situations are good for us and which are bad. As a result of an emotion people react to a certain situation and may adapt their behavior. Emotions are therefore important for our functioning. Research has identified six basic emotions: anger, happiness, sadness, disgust, fear and surprise. From an evolutionary point of view there seem to be no reason to assume that this would work differently in animals. However, it is difficult to determine whether they experience emotions in the same way as humans. It is not always clear what an animal feels, and you can easily be wrong in judging the nature and strength of their feelings. Yet in everyday life emotions are regularly assigned to animals. We might therefore assume that animals ‘use’ their emotions to adjust their behavior to a certain situation. Emotions are important for their functioning.

description: A new aporphine glycoside (1), named ‘angkorwatine’, and eight known alkaloids: oblongine (2), stepharine (3), asimilobine-β-d-glucopyranoside (4), isocorydine (5), tetrahydropalmatine (THP) (6), jatrorrhizine (7), palmatine (PAL) (8), and roemerine (ROE) (9) were simultaneously isolated from the tuber of Stephania cambodica. The development and validation of UHPLC-DAD method was carried out for the quantification of marker compounds (PAL, ROE, THP) of S. cambodica. In addition to good selectivity and linearity (r2 > 0.997), trueness, precision, and accuracy of the method did not exceed the acceptance limit of ±10% for ROE, THP and ±20% for PAL. Consequently, this method is able to provide accurate results between 1.39–4.18 μg/mL, 2.01–30.72 μg/mL, and 4.29–64.42 μg/mL for PAL, ROE, and THP, respectively. This study shows that the validated UHPLC method is a rapid, innovative and effective analytical approach to control quality of tubers of S. cambodica and to regulate the usage of this plant in traditional medicine.
