Kardiopulmonale Adaptation und Therapie von wachstumsretardierten Frühgeborenen mit intrauteriner Perfusionsstörung im Vergleich zu nicht-wachstumsretardierten Frühgeborenen ohne intrauterine Perfusionsstörung

Chronische intrauterine Hypoxie bedingt durch uterine, feto-maternale und fetale Perfusionsstörung führt zur fetalen Wachstumsrestriktion und Erhöhung der fetalen und neonatalen Morbidität und Mortalität. Die pränatale Kreislaufzentralisation stellt einen pathophysiologischen Kompensationsmechanismus dar, der durch Umverteilung des Blutflusses eine Versorgung lebenswichtiger Organe des Feten sichert (Rizzo et al. 2008), (Robel-Tillig 2003), (Robel 1994), (Saling 1966).
In den letzten Jahren haben sich Studien mit der postnatalen Adaptation der wachstumsretardierten Neonaten beschäftigt und wesentliche Risiken im Verlauf der ersten Lebenstage definiert. Wenige validierte Aussagen existieren jedoch zur Kreislaufsituation der betroffenen Kinder und der kardialen Leistungsfähigkeit auch über die erste Lebenswoche hinaus.
Die vorliegende Studie vergleicht unter dieser Fragestellung eine Gruppe von 43 Frühgeborenen mit intrauteriner Wachstumsrestriktion auf der Grundlage einer Perfusionsstörung und 33 Frühgeborene mit appropriatem Wachstum und ungestörter pränataler Perfusion während der ersten 42 Lebenstage hinsichtlich der unmittelbaren postnatalen pulmonalen und kardialen Adaptationsparameter und des weiteren klinischen Verlaufs. Besonderer Schwerpunkt wird dabei auf die dopplersonographisch erfasste kardiale Funktion der Kinder gelegt.
Als wesentlichstes Ergebnis der dopplersonographischen Messungen lässt sich bei den Frühgeborenen mit pränataler Perfusionsstörung ein signifikant erhöhtes Herzminutenvolumen rechts- und linksventrikulär im Vergleich zur Gruppe der Frühgeborenen mit ungestörter Perfusion darstellen (Robel-Tillig 2003), (Leipälä et al. 2003), Martinussen 1997}, (Guajardo, Mandelbaum & Linderkamp 1994), (Lindner et al. 1990). Die unmittelbar postnatale Adaptation zeigt hinsichtlich des arteriellen Nabelschnur-pH-Wertes eine schlechtere Anpassung der Frühgeborenen mit pränataler Perfusionsstörung auf. Im weiteren Verlauf der ersten Tage benötigen diese Frühgeborenen seltener eine maschinelle Beatmung oder CPAP-Atemhilfe als die Frühgeborenen ohne Wachstumsrestriktion. Bis zum 42. Lebenstag kehrt sich dieser Befund jedoch um. Die Frühgeborenen mit Wachstumsrestriktion bedürfen nun signifikant länger und häufiger einer Atemhilfe und zusätzlicher Sauerstoffsupplementierung. Als Komplikation trat bei den wachstumsretardierten Frühgeborenen eine höhere Rate an bronchopulmonaler Dysplasie auf. Ein weiterer Unterschied wird hinsichtlich der Transfusionshäufigkeit dargestellt. Frühgeborene mit Wachstumsrestriktion erhielten häufiger eine Erythrozytentransfusion und länger eine Transfusion von zusätzlichem Volumen.
Zusammenfassend weisen die ermittelten Befunde auf ein Persistieren der intrauterin bestehenden Kompensation der beeinträchtigten Kreislaufsituation hin. Eine genaue Kenntnis der speziellen Probleme dieser Patientengruppe ist zur Vermeidung postnatal anhaltender hämodynamischer Störungen erforderlich.

Full textAbstract:
Il fattore antisecretivo (AF) è una proteina secreta nel plasma e nei tessuti dei mammiferi, che ha dimostrato di essere un potente inibitore dell’ipersecrezione intestinale e dell'infiammazione. Dopo il bando degli AGP, diversi approcci nutrizionali finalizzati all’ottimizzazione della fase di transizione dello svezzamento e alla riduzione delle malattie intestinali sono stati proposti, ma con scarsi risultati rispetto agli antibiotici. Le diete in grado di indurre la secrezione endogena di AF potrebbero essere una valida alternativa agli AGP. Si ritiene che AF contenuto nel colostro e nel latte delle scrofe possa essere un fattore di protezione contro la diarrea nei suinetti. E’ stato dimostrato che è possibile incrementare il livello di AF nel plasma attraverso la dieta, sia nell’uomo che negli animali, con l’ingestione di cereali sottoposti ad un particolare processo idro-termico (HPC). In questa tesi è stato studiato l’effetto dell’aggiunta di HPC alla dieta di suinetti svezzati, sulle performance e sullo stato infiammatorio dell’epitelio intestinale. La supplementazione della dieta con HPC ha migliorato ADG e FCR durante tutto il periodo sperimentale. I valori I-FABP, considerato un parametro del danneggiamento della mucosa intestinale, nel plasma dei suinetti sono risultati bassi in tutti i gruppi e non influenzati dalla dieta. L'attività antisecretiva di AF-16, il dominio attivo della proteina, è stata valutata mediate su colture cellulari IPEC-J2 trattate con tossina colerica (CT) in Ussing chamber. AF-16 non ha inibito l’incremento di Isc indotto da CT. E’ stato osservato un ridotto incremento di Isc durante la somministrazione contemporanea di AF-16 e CT. L'attività anti-infiammatoria di AF-16 è stata studiata in colture di macrofagi RAW 264,7, trattati con LPS, e su macrofagi alveolari di suino stimolati con PMA. AF-16 ha ridotto la produzione di NO nei macrofagi stimolati con LPS in funzione del dosaggio, con maggiori effetti a dosaggi più elevati. L’effetto antiinfiammatorio di AF-16 non è stata confermata dai ROS test, neanche usando dosi elevate di peptide. I risultati confermano l’efficacia dei cereali HPC come promotori della crescita nei suinetti. Ulteriori studi in vitro sono necessari per capire il meccanismo d’azione di AF.<br>The antisecretory factor (AF) is a protein secreted in plasma and other tissue fluids in mammalians which was shown to be a potent inhibitor of intestinal fluid secretion and inflammation.
After the AGP ban, several nutritional approaches aimed to the optimization of the weaning transition and reduction of gut diseases have been proposed, but the success rates are really low compared to antimicrobials. AF-inducing diets appear to be suitable alternatives to AGP. Indeed AF content in sows’ colostrum and milk appears to be a protection factor against diarrhoea in suckling piglets. Increased AF level in plasma by dietary means, such as feeding hydro-thermally processed cereals (HPC), has been demonstrated in human and animals. We tested the effect of two different HPC level of inclusion in a wheat-barley based diet on weaned piglets growth performance, reared in an experimental farm. The results confirmed the efficacy of HPC as growth promoters in piglet nutrition: HPC supplementation improved ADG and FCR.
In vitro test were made to study the antisecretory and anti-inflammatory properties of the AF protein and its mechanism of action by using AF-16, the active region of the protein. The Ussing chamber experiments performed on polarized IPEC-J2 cells confirmed the neuronal involvement in the antisecretory activity of AF. In fact, AF-16 did not inhibit CT-induced Isc. A slower rate of Isc increase was observed during the simultaneous administration with AF-16 and CT.
High dosages of AF-16 were found to reduce the LPS-stimulated NO production in RAW264.7 cell, thus supporting the hypothesis of an anti-inflammatory action. On the contrary, no significant results were obtained on PMA-stimulated ROS generation in pig alveolar macrophages.

Full textAbstract:
The concept of age management as a management with regard to the age of employees is due to demographic changes increasingly important topic. Therefore it is necessary the organizations should take care about age management to get by competitive fight and to avoid loosing experienced, qualified and loyal employees. Age management is gaining prominence due to delay founding families, an aging population and the lack of labor force. The basic threatened groups of age management are mainly workers 50+, graduates and ultimately mothers with small children. All these groups of workers require attention and the management of each organization should take care about them.
The aim of this work is to identify the pillars of the field of age management as part of human resources management in an organization, including evaluation of their objectives, strategies used within a given area. From a qualitative survey, namely structured interviews with human resources employees and after that with all managers can say that the organization is aware of the risks associated with the employment of graduates and workers 50+ and part of human resources management is to focus on risky groups of employees. The organization is aware of the qualities of its employees and is trying to use their retention of knowledge that human capital brings to achieve competitive advantage.

This thesis processes the concept of the human resources management with respect to the age structure of employees in the intentions of the Czech Republic. In the theoretical part, there is outlined the history of the application of the principle of age management, focusing on current demographic trends, forecasts of population age structure, the aging workforce and the need to preserve the ability to work into old age. Points to the need to adapt corporate strategy, personnel management trend of an aging population. It presents ideas for the main underlying programs and legislative measures which form the basis of the latest concepts and strategic plans in the Czech Republic and Europe. The empirical part deals with a specific level of allowance organization established by TSU and two sub investigation. The first is a case study of age management staff. The resulting data are confronted with the results of a survey among employees of the organization. The second investigation are interviews with members of management and employees of the HR department on the issue of the introduction of age management, their awareness of the concept of age management, the question of age discrimination, the issue of maintaining the continuity of knowledge in the organization and their views on these topics. The outcome of this survey indicates a willingness and readiness of the organization has already received age management principles adhere to and develop further.

Previous issue date: 2015<br>A presente dissertação aborda a política externa para a difusão da língua portuguesa empreendida pelo governo Lula (2003-2010). A pergunta norteadora deste trabalho foi: Por que houve uma expansão de iniciativas de difusão da língua portuguesa no governo Lula (2003-2010). A hipótese construída a partir da provocação inicial é a de que o governo Lula buscou impulsionar a expansão dos instrumentos de difusão da língua portuguesa para alcançar suas aspirações políticas e econômicas na política exterior, ou seja, fortalecer coalizões para participar mais assertivamente nos organismos multilaterais e proporcionar um ambiente mais favorável para as empresas nacionais. Foram usadas fontes primárias, como por exemplo, documentos do Arquivo Documental do Itamaraty em Brasília, e documentos disponíveis nos portais e publicações oficiais do governo brasileiro. Também nos servimos de fontes secundárias, como livros, trabalhos acadêmicos (teses e dissertações), revistas eletrônicas especializadas, anais de congresso, entre outros. Conceitos provindos da Economia Política do Sistemas-Mundo (EPSM), e o de Soft Power foram utilizados no intuito de compreender o contexto da política exterior brasileira para difusão linguística e a implementação da política de difusão linguística no período do governo Lula. Diante dos conceitos teóricos e dos dados coletados, percebeu-se que o governo Lula direcionou sua política externa de difusão linguística, principalmente, para as regiões da América Latina e África, no afã de alcançar suas aspirações políticas e econômicas não só na escala regional, como na escala global. Os resultados deste trabalho apontam que o governo Lula buscou, a partir de oportunidades conjunturais, imprimir uma maior dinamização e complementaridade de elementos culturais para o alcance de seus objetivos externos. Desse modo, esta dissertação contribui para os estudos da política externa brasileira e difusão de elementos culturais e, assim, problematiza e incentiva outros pesquisadores a aprofundar estudos desenvolvidos na área.<br><br>Abstract : This dissertation discusses the foreign policy and the Portuguese language diffusion conducted by Lula's governement (2003-2010). The question which guided this research was: why were the initiatives of language diffusion expanded during Lula's government? The hypothesis developed from the initial question is that Lula's government impulsed the expansion of the Portuguese language diffusion instruments in order to achieve its political and economics goals in foreign policy, in other words, build up coalitions to play an assertive role in multilateral organisms and provide a favorable enviroment to national enterprises abroad. The data were collected from primary resources, in Itamaraty's Documental Archive, and also in an oficial site and publications of the Brazilian Government, as well as in secondary resourses including, books, academic works (thesis and dissertations), specialized digital magazines, conference annals and others. Concepts from the World Systems Theory as well as the concept of Soft Power were mixed to understand the context of the linguistic diffusion in the Brazilian foreign policy and its implementation during Lula's government. Based on the theoric concepts and the collected data, it was shown that Lula's government conducted its linguistic foreign policy towards the Latin American and African regions as a result of Brazilian political and economic goals not only in those regions but also globally and structurally. The results of this research pointed that Lula's government, regarding conjuctural opportunities, has tried to boost and add the use of cultural elements to achieve its external objectives. In that way, this dissertation contributes to studies of Brazilian foreign policy and cultural elements difussion by problematizing and encouraging other researchers to deepen the studies in the area.

Full textAbstract:
Alzheimer's disease is characterized by (1) senile plaques formed of aggregated amyloid peptides of 40 to 42 amino acids (A$ beta sb{1-40}$ and A$ beta sb{1-42}$) which are derived from the metabolism of the amyloid precursor protein, (2) by neurofibrillary tangles involving a dysfunction of the cytoskeleton due to the hyperphosphorylation of the tau protein, and (3) by amyloid-laden cerebral vessels. The goal of this project is to determine if there is a link between the presence of aggregated amyloid peptides and tau hyperphosphorylation.<br>We incubated the human fetal primary neuron cultures with A$ beta sb{1-40}$ and A$ beta sb{1-42}$ (100nM). The western blots show that serine 202 epitope of tau protein is phosphorylated in a cyclic manner. With the tau phosphorylation assay, we showed that A$ beta sb{1-40}$ and A$ beta sb{1-42}$ activate one or more protein kinase(s) able to phosphorylate tau protein and more specifically the serine 202 epitope.<br>We conclude that pathological concentrations of aggregated peptides A$ beta sb{1-40}$ and A$ beta sb{1-42}$ activate protein kinases which induce the phosphorylation of tau protein and serine 202 epitope.

Full textAbstract:
The present study sought to determine the direction and degree to which occupations representative of all major occupational categories are viewed as age-typed (i.e., more appropriate for older or younger workers). The 60 occupations examined were the 12 most common and familiar occupations in each of five occupational categories used by the U.S. Census Bureau. I randomly assigned 365 participants to one of three survey conditions. Participants rated the feature centrality, proportional representation, normative age, and optimal performance age of 20 of the 60 occupations and the age-type of 20 different occupations. Results showed that participants reliably rated the occupations on a continuum from highly young-typed to highly old-typed. Occupations viewed as most appropriate for older workers included psychologists (clinical), bus drivers, and librarians, whereas those viewed as most appropriate for younger workers included recreation and fitness workers, bartenders, and hosts/hostesses. Interestingly, despite commonly held stereotypes that older workers are less competent than younger workers (Kite, Stockdale, Whitley, & Johnson, 2005), old-typed occupations were viewed as requiring higher competence than those viewed as young-typed. Additionally, roughly three times as many workers are needed to fill the most young-typed jobs compared to the most old-typed jobs (U.S. Census Bureau, 2000). Both of these findings suggest problems for an increasingly aging workforce (Administration of Aging, 2010). I also found that perceived proportional representation accounted for 79% of the variance in predicting the age-type of occupations. This suggests that people rely on general impressions of current worker ages, which supports career timetables theory's approach to the formation of occupational age-type.

Full textAbstract:
This research uses discourse analysis to explore constructions of age and the older worker in job search websites. These were identified on a Government website, Age Positive, a central location of age policy. The seemingly objective and factual nature of age and the older worker is ideal for sceptical examination of taken-for-granted knowledge. The de-stabilization of chronology, with age an aspect of equality, makes these relevant topics for investigation. The discourse analytic methodology is located ontologically and epistemologically within theories of social constructionism and discourse, and examines age and the older worker not as essentialist research categories but as díscursively constructed phenomena. ln the context of job search, age (positioned as older age) is constructed as risk and organiser of work; as negative ontology; as difference; as enterprise; and as commodíty. Older workers are constructed as Dinosaurs, Wise Owls and Wrinklies; as having special needs; as different; a safe pair of hands and a good match for marginal and flexible work. The older worker as victim and 'has been' is back-grounded. A minority are 'successful'. Discursive struggle is examined as job search websites seek to accommodate a business rationale that promotes older workers and a legal requirement not to discriminate against younger candidates. The constructions do little to challenge prevailing age norms and organizational structures that marginalise and constrain employment opportunities for older workers. Responding to the under-theorisation of age in organizations (Riach, 2011; Trethewey, 2001), this thesis posits that organizations are 'aged' through discourse, similar to being 'gendered' (Acker, 1990) and 'raced' (Ashcraft & Allen, 2003). This allows examination of the 'aged' claims to nature of organizations, making visible the hidden structures that are not age-neutral but described and conceived in terms of a discourse of older age as decline and of hegemonically defined differences between young and old.

Full textAbstract:
This research set out to investigate the nature and extent of prehistoric human activity in the Vale of Pewsey, Wiltshire, a relatively poorly understood area located between the Marlborough Downs and Salisbury Plain. This was to be achieved through a combination of archival reassessment, aerial photographic interpretation and non-intrusive fieldwork. It became obvious that the Vale was the location for a considerable density of Late Bronze Age/Early Iron Age sites, many of which were so called "midden" or "black-earth "sites, and this dissertation concentrates on this period. A survey of some 240 square km of the Vale was undertaken and the results analysed in the context of the few blackearth sites in the area that had previously been investigated. A number of well preserved sites dating from this period were identified and surveyed for the first time and fragments of the late prehistoric landscape defined and discussed.

Full textAbstract:
En reflechissant a l'existence d'une culture noire presente aujourd'hui dans les terteiros de candomle, ce travail propose de definir ces terreiros a bahia en tant qu'espaces symboliques ou le social et le rituel se realisent dans la vie de leurs propres acteurs. Cette analyse, resultat d'enquetes vecu parmi les agents rituels du candomble, presente cette culture venue d'afrique etrecreee a bahia du xvie au xixe siecle. Cette culture s'appuie sur la presence des orishas et la relation entre adeptes et adeptes et orishas, l'un representant l'autre au sein de la communaute constituee dans le terreiros par la "famille de saint". La raison eventuelle de cette derniere emane de l' "ashe", force vitale venant des ancetres, se renove dans la recherche et la rencontre d'une reference commune et passe symboliquement par la nature. La consolidation et le developpement du terreiro en tant qu'espace social et rituel se concretise a travers le rite d'initiation qui cree l'engagement, etablit les normes d'appartenance et prepare les "filles et fils de saint" sur le plan social et rituel et les "assentamentos", representation des orishas autour desquels la collectivie se reunit. La continuite s' opere par la transmission orale du savoir ancestral acquis par l'experience rituelle. Ceci differencie le terreiro de la societe globale. Cette etude presente les fonctions rituelles et la position sociale des agents, et la difference de l'une et l'autre societe. Les noirs de bahia vivent a travers le candomle une continuite africaine recreee avec laquelle ils s'identifient et affrontent differemment la societe. A present une alienation est perceptible, neanmoins il existe une forme d'epanouissement personnel.

Full textAbstract:
Challenging a long-held attachment to the medical model, this research develops a cultural model placing local governments at the center of policy making and refocusing policy attention on mobility, housing, the built environment and services. To examine the phenomenon of age friendly policy adoption by cities and the magnitude of adoption, a 21-question web-based survey was administered to a sample of 1,050 cities from the U.S. Census having a population over 10,000 and having at least 14% of their population aged 65 years and over. The goal of the questionnaire was to help identify what kind of policy objectives cities establish to facilitate the opportunity for older adults to live healthy and independent lives in their communities as they age. Multiple linear and ordinal regression models examined the likelihood of policy action by cities and provide evidence as to why some cities support more age friendly policy actions than others. Evidence illustrates theoretical advancement providing support for a cultural model of aging. The cultural model includes multiple factors including bureaucratic responsiveness reflected in the management values of the administration. Findings show variation in the integration of a cultural awareness of aging in the municipality's needs assessment, strategic goals, citizen engagement strategies, and budgetary principles. Cities with a cultural awareness of aging are more likely to adopt age friendly policies. Findings also provide support for the argument that the public administrator is not the driving sole factor in decision making. A shared spaced with mobilized citizen need of individuals 65 and over is identified.

Saffer, Dylan. "Does Age Matter? Comparing CEO Age and Social Media Success in Startups." Scholarship @ Claremont, 2017. http://scholarship.claremont.edu/cmc_theses/1685.
Full textAbstract:
In this paper, I examine the role of CEO age in predicting the success of startup firms, as measured by social media exposure. I use a novel measure of early-stage growth defined by increased levels of social media and online traction. I hypothesize that the age of the company’s CEO will be negatively correlated with their social media scores while controlling for the company’s total funding amounts and employee counts. My data consists of 250 United States-based startup companies that were founded between 2011 and 2015. Furthermore, they are all relatively successful in that they are still operating and have received between $100 thousand and $10 million of funding. I find that the social media score of a company is negatively impacted by the age of their CEO.

Full textAbstract:
A-kinase anchoring proteins (AKAPs) restrict the action of the broad-specificity cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) to discrete subcellular locations. The highresolution crystal structure of the docking and dimerisation (D/D) domain of the RIIa regulatory Bubunit of PKA in complex with the high-affinity anchoring peptide AKAP-IS explains the molecular basis of AKAP specificity for PKA regulatory subunits. AKAPIS folds into an amphipathic a-helix that engages an essentially preformed shallow groove on the surface of the RUa dimer D/D domains. Conserved AKAP aiiphatic residues dominate interactions to RUa at the predominantly hydrophobic interface, whereas polar residues are important in conferring regulatory subunit isoform specificity. Structural information for the AKAP family was previously limited to studies of the PKA-AKAP interface. To address this deficiency, a bioinformatic screen of AKAPs was performed to identify domains within AKAPs that might be suitable for structural investigation. A central domain in AKAP18 was identified, and its crystal structure was solved. The domain is structurally similar to 2H phosphoesterase enzymes, which catalyse the hydrolysis of cyclic nucleotides, with a central groove at the base of which two His-x-Thr motifs are positioned. The domain binds specifically to 5' AMP/CMP, with a dissociation constant for AMP in the physiological range, and the molecular basis for nucleotide specificity has been established. No catalytic activity was associated with the domain, so it may function as an AMP sensor. AKAP79 is a prototypical mammalian scaffold protein, which nucleates mUlti-protein kinase-phosphatase complexes, and localises at the cell membrane under the control of calmodulin. A system for expression and purification of AKAP79 has been developed enabling sufficient production of pure AKAP79 complexes for structural and biochemical investigation. Imaging of an AKAP79-PKA-calmodulin complex by negative-staining transmission electron microscopy indicates that the first three-dimen'sional reconstruction of this complex may be possible in the near future.

Khan, Muhammad Aurangzeb. "Automatic facial age estimation." Thesis, Lancaster University, 2015. http://eprints.lancs.ac.uk/76420/.
Full textAbstract:
The reliability of automatically estimating human ages, by processing input facial images, has generally been found to be poor. On other hand, various real world applications, often relating to safety and security, depend on an accurate estimate of a person’s age. In such situations, Face Image based Automatic Age Estimation (FI-AAE) systems which are more reliable and may ideally surpass human ability, are of importance as and represent a critical pre-requisite technology. Unfortunately, in terms of estimation accuracy and thus performance, contemporary FI-AAE systems are impeded by challenges which exist in both of the two major FI-AAE processing phases i.e. i) Age based feature extraction and representation and ii) Age group classification. Challenges in the former phase arise because facial shape and texture change independently and the magnitude of these changes vary during the different stages of a person’s life. Additionally, contemporary schemes struggle to exploit age group specific characteristics of these features, which in turn has a detrimental effect on overall system performance. Furthermore misclassification errors which occur in the second processing phase and are caused by the smooth inter-class variations often observed between adjacent age groups, pose another major challenge and are responsible for low overall FI-AAE performance. In this thesis a novel Multi-Level Age Estimation (ML-AE) framework is proposed that addresses the aforementioned challenges and improves upon state-of-the-art FI-AAE system performance. The proposed ML-AE is a hierarchical classification scheme that maximizes and then exploits inter-class variation among different age groups at each level of the hierarchy. Furthermore, the proposed scheme exploits age based discriminating information taken from two different cues (i.e. facial shape and texture) at the decision level which improves age estimation results. During the process of achieving our main objective of age estimation, this research work also contributes to two associated image processing/analysis areas: i) Face image modeling and synthesis; a process of representing face image data with a low dimensionality set of parameters. This is considered as precursor to every face image based age estimation system and has been studied in this thesis within the context of image face recognition ii) measuring face image data variability that can help in representing/ranking different face image datasets according to their classification difficulty level. Thus a variability measure is proposed that can also be used to predict the classification performance of a given face recognition system operating upon a particular input face dataset. Experimental results based on well-known face image datasets revealed the superior performance of our proposed face analysis, synthesis and face image based age classification methodologies, as compared to that obtained from conventional schemes.

Full textAbstract:
While over-dispersed Poisson age-period-cohort and extended chain-ladder models are used in a number of fields, so far no rigorous statistical theory has been available. We consider models for aggregate data organized in a two-way table with age and cohort as indices, but without measures of exposure. In these models, used for example in actuarial science, demography, economics, epidemiology and sociology, the number of parameters grows with the number of observations. Thus, standard asymptotic theory is invalid. In Chapter 2, we propose a repetitive structure that keeps the dimension of the table fixed while increasing the latent exposure. We pair this with the assumptions of infinitely divisible distributions which include a variety of compound Poisson models and Poisson mixture models. We then show that Poisson quasi-likelihood estimation results in asymptotic t parameter distributions, F inference, and t forecast distributions. In Chapter 3, we build on the asymptotic framework from Chapter 2 and develop tests for model specification. The over-dispersed Poisson model assumes that the over-dispersion is common across the data. A further assumption is that effects do not have breaks, for example age effects do not vary over cohorts. A log-normal age-period-cohort model makes similar assumptions. We show that these assumptions can easily be tested and that similar tests can be used in both models. In Chapter 4, we develop a non-nested test that allows one to evaluate whether the over-dispersed Poisson or log-normal model is the better choice for the data. While the over-dispersed Poisson model imposes a fixed variance to mean ratio, the log-normal models assumes the same for the standard deviation to mean ratio. We leverage this insight to propose a test that has high power to distinguish between the two models. Again, the theory is asymptotic but does not build on a large size of the array and instead makes use of information accumulating within the cells.

Morrison, Nina. "The age of innocence." Thesis, University of Iowa, 2018. https://ir.uiowa.edu/etd/6223.
Full textAbstract:
My work as a queer, feminist playwright is centered around reimagining the presentation of women and other marginalized people on stage. I write highly theatrical comedies meant to highlight and satirize aspects of presentation and representation related to gender, race and power. This play is titled The Age of Innocence, like the Edith Wharton novel which I have never read. I learned from the internet that Wharton wrote the novel in 1920 when she was 50 years old and thinking about her childhood days in New York City in the 1870’s long before the horrors of WWI. The novel is about the forbidden love and extramarital affair between very wealthy white people who cannot deny their love but are afraid of any impropriety that could threaten their wealth and social status. My play of the same title is inspired by Wharton’s novel and also by the very public breakup announcement made by famous television writer-director Jill Soloway and famous poet Eileen Myles. Soloway and Myles announced their breakup at a museum lecture that was supposed to be about queer media and queer literature. They decided to use the public speaking opportunity to publicly announce their breakup and process details of their relationship with the audience. My play is a comedy that borrows the premise of the Soloway Myles breakup announcement and a little of the structure of Wharton’s novel to examine gender presentation, race, privilege, romance and age.
