Abstract:
Abstract Abstract 3484 Poster Board III-421 Introduction Treatment of bleeding episodes in patients with congenital hemophilia (CH) can be complicated by the development of alloantibodies (inhibitors). This results in “difficult to control” bleeding episodes, which could lead to significant joint disease and decreased quality of life (QoL). As the site of treatment has moved from the hemophilia treatment center (HTC) and hospital to the home setting, the correlation between prescribed care and the way patients and their families manage their disease at home and the effects on daily life deserves attention. This analysis reports the overall results of the recently completed DOSE study. Methods Patients with congenital hemophilia with inhibitors (CHwI) with 4+ bleeding episodes in the prior 3 months who were prescribed rFVIIa (NovoSeven, Bagsvaerd, Denmark) as their first line or recommended therapy for bleeding episodes including breakthrough bleeds on prophylaxis were eligible for the study. The patients or their caregivers captured all bleed treatments, daily activities, QoL [EQ-5D, health and pain visual analog scales (VAS)], family anxiety/stress, and activity changes over a period of at least 90 days or until they captured 4 bleeds. Patients or caregivers recorded data in primary paper diaries with optional internet-based data entry. Participating sites completed registration forms with demographics, hemophilia history, and descriptions of currently prescribed care. Results There were 51 patients enrolled in this study from 18 participating sites. Mean age was 22.6 years (median 16.1), with 27.5% less than age 11, 19.6% ages 11-18, and 39.2% over age 18. The majority were white (70.6%). Mean (SD) weight was 72.4 (43.8) kg (median 61.0 kg). Nearly half (49%) had a central venous access device. The patients were diagnosed with hemophilia A (84.3%) or hemophilia B (15.7%) with inhibitors, with current severity of illnesses described as severe (76.5%) or moderate/severe (19.6%) in most patients. Mean (SD) age at diagnosis was 0.5 (0.7) years (range 0-4 years). Mean (SD) age at first bleed was 0.6 (0.9) years (range 0-6 years). Most subjects had a history of joint bleeds, with muscle, mucosal, and head bleeds also reported. Mean (SD) number of bleeds in the past year was 17.6 (15.4) with mean number of severe bleeds reported as 5.9 (9.2). There were 45.1% reported to have ever had immune tolerance. First line therapy for joint bleeds was rFVIIa in 94.1% with a mean (median) initial dose of 152.2 mcg/kg (120.0), with 33% prescribed 250-270 mcg/kg. Initial dosing for muscle and other bleeds was similar. From the enrolled population, at least 38 patients have completed paper or electronic diaries of 22-180 days duration (median 96 days). There were over 3705 total diary days captured, including 174 bleeding events and 421 bleed treatment days. On average, bleed days accounted for 7.6% of diary days (range 0-68.6%). Of the 174 bleeds, 100 were joint bleeds including 37 target joint bleeds, 19 were muscle bleeds, 4 were mouth/gum bleeds, 2 were in the brain, 1 was in the nose and 1 was in/on the skin, 31 were other. There were instances of two types of bleeds reported during the same episode. Bleed duration was reported as 2.6 (3.0) days (range 1-26). Conclusions DOSE represents the first large-scale diary study in the small population of patients with congenital hemophilia with high responding inhibitors. In this preliminary analysis of the data, there are several unexpected and previously unpublished results: 1) there is a surprisingly large number of patients with central venous access particularly when considering the mean age of the group, 2) less than half of the patients have undergone immune tolerance despite the fact that the participating centers are all established Hemophilia Treatment Centers, 3) a significant proportion of patients use doses of 250-270 mcg/kg. We expect further detailed analysis to provide valuable data and insight from which hypotheses can be generated for future studies of this rare patient population.

Abstract:
Purpose – This paper aims to offer a theory on optimal group size. To overcome the problems of institutional credit facilities to the poor and marginal people, Joint Liability Group Lending (JLGL) is often considered as a better option. However, the literature in the field is surprisingly silent about the issue of group-size. This paper tries to fill the vacuum in a theoretical framework. Design/methodology/approach – Using a standard theoretical model, this paper shows that even with costless peer monitoring, there exists an upper bound on the size of group, and this upper bound is exactly pinned down by the strength of the social sanction. Findings – This paper shows that under reasonable specification of effort cost, as group size increases, both optimal cooperative effort level and the deviation incentive from that effort level rise monotonically for any individual borrower. Thus, given the strength of social sanction, the rising incentive for deviation uniquely determines the optimal group size even in absence of free riding in peer monitoring. Research limitations/implications – The theoretical results derived in the paper require empirical verification which is, however, tricky because of the problems associated with quantifying social sanctions. Practical implications – This paper argues that the group size should be larger in more integrated communities which have better social cohesion among its members. Originality/value – This paper shows that, for a given extent of joint liability the borrowers need to bear, the group size in joint liability group lending should be designed according to the strength of social sanction prevailing in the society to achieve social efficiency.

Abstract:
This study was designed to describe the reproductive biology of a sample of wild-caught brown treesnakes and to determine the effect of increased food intake (nutrition) on the development of the testis and sexual segment of the kidney, and on sperm storage in the vas deferens in captive males. The wild snakes were trapped and preserved within 24 h, in December 1999, from a snake trap-line in northern Guam. In the nutrition experiment adult snakes were matched for snout–vent length and separated into three groups. Groups 1 and 2 were fed a high-calorie diet for 8 and 4 weeks, respectively. Group 3 males, the control group, received a low-calorie diet and were preserved at 7 weeks. In the wild sample all snakes above 1035 mm snout–vent length were undergoing spermatogenesis, had a well developed sexual segment of the kidney, and had sperm stored in the vas deferens. In all experimental groups, spermatogenesis and development of the sexual segment of the kidney was terminated or inhibited, and in most snakes sperm were absent from the vas deferens. Blood levels of stress hormones (i.e. corticosterone) and reproductive hormones (androgens) were not measured. However, a previous study reported that the stress of captivity causes an increase in plasma levels of corticosterone in brown treesnakes, and other studies on squamates indicate that high corticosterone levels can disrupt reproductive hormones and shut down the reproductive cycle.

Abstract:
Background Infants with Down syndrome (DS) have delayed walking and produce less-coordinated walking patterns. Objective The aim of this study was to investigate whether 2 treadmill interventions would have different influences on the development of joint kinematic patterns in infants with DS. Design Thirty infants with DS were randomly assigned to a lower-intensity, generalized (LG) treadmill training group (LG group) or a higher-intensity, individualized (HI) treadmill training group (HI group) and trained until walking onset. Twenty-six participants (13 in each group) completed a 1-year gait follow-up assessment. Methods During the gait follow-up assessment, reflective markers were placed bilaterally on the participants to measure the kinematic patterns of the hip, knee, and ankle joints. Both the timing and the magnitude of peak extension and flexion at the hip, knee, and ankle joints, as well as peak adduction and abduction at the hip joint, in the 2 groups were compared. Results Both the LG group and the HI group showed significantly advanced development of joint kinematics at the gait follow-up. In the HI group, peak ankle plantar flexion occurred at or before toe-off, and the duration of the forward thigh swing after toe-off increased. Limitations Joint kinematics in the lower extremities were evaluated in this study. It would be interesting to investigate the effect of treadmill interventions on kinematic patterns in the trunk and arm movement. Conclusions The timing of peak ankle plantar flexion (before toe-off) in the HI group implies further benefits from the HI intervention; that is, the HI group may use mechanical energy transfer better at the end of stance and may show decreased hip muscle forces and moments during walking. It was concluded that the HI intervention can accelerate the development of joint kinematic patterns in infants with DS within 1 year after walking onset.

Abstract:
The article deals with the functions of joint attention with regard to ontogenetic development of arbitrariness and social coordination of group activity of preschool children. It is shown that the concepts of joint attention cover much more than just “visual joint attention” and require to consider of other forms of manifestations of mutual participation in joint activities. The manifestation of joint attention on the part of children themselves without the participation of adults is studied in the article. Response and initiation of joint attention are considered not only in the adult-child dyads, but also in a larger group of preschool children. The study involved 157 preschool children, who were organized during the experiment in subgroups to jointly solve problem situations. It is proved that in the structure of the regulation of joint activity different forms of manifestation of joint attention provide an afferent synthesis of the conditions of activity, facilitates the analysis of internal and external conditions of joint activity, the development of a program of conscientious activity.

Abstract:
The use of group lending for poverty alleviation is a widespread feature of modern microfinance. The structure of joint-liability credit - if one member defaults the others are held financially responsible - produces a natural tension between a borrower's social and economic interests. This study integrates theory from economics, sociology, and behavioural experiments to address the question, "How do social and economic mechanisms interact to shape a microcredit group's financial behaviour?" The empirical analysis involves an original dataset from a microfinance institution in Sierra Leone. The total dataset includes 7,025 joint-liability borrowers involved in 47,931 repayment transactions from 2005 to 2011. The empirical methods used are diverse: ethnographic fieldwork, GPS spatial analysis, social affiliation survey design, and multilevel statistical analysis of loan performance data. The original work is structured as three distinct papers. In the first paper, I examine social collateral, the formal use of a borrower's relationships as security against loan default. How does a group's spatial structure affect the efficacy of social collateral? Spatial concentration improves a group's economic performance up to a certain level after which the effect reverses and performance declines. The relationship is driven by a social trade-off between ability and willingness to enforce the loan. Further, groups that consist of multiple spatial fragments produce worse performance. Spatially fragmented groups are prone to splitting into social factions. In the second paper, I question what drives the self-selection process of microcredit group formation. The results show that group leaders prefer members with pre-existing social ties, who are spatially proximate, and have matching business types. The preference for socio-spatial factors is likely motivated by reducing the risk of strategic default by group members. In the third paper, I explore how economic cooperation in small groups evolves over years of repeated interaction. Despite the selective retention of better performing groups, average cooperation rates consistently decline, in terms of contribution and effort. Further, variance across groups continues to increase over 30 months of repeated interaction, suggesting that convergence to a stable cooperation rate has not occurred. Given that group lending exhibits many of the factors found to promote cooperation in laboratory experiments, it is surprising to find such a marked decline in this field setting. Overall, this thesis contributes to economic sociology by dissecting the difficult trade-offs between social and economic motives in group lending and offers policy implications for microfinance institutions regarding group formation heuristics, contract design, and loan management.

AbstractDeveloping innovative and marketable products and services and maintaining innovation capacity are basic prerequisites for a company’s economic success and present implicit challenges in the adaptation to twenty-first-century needs. These success factors are put at risk by silo mentalities and by insufficiently pronounced cross-departmental knowledge transfers. The GASAG Group as a typical organizational layout of medium-sized enterprises in Germany has been and still is confronted with these challenges as well. In order to face them, the GASAG Group decided to work on company culture as well as to develop an open and innovative mindset, prompting it to join the ICU (ICU stands for ‘Internal Crowdsourcing in Enterprises’ and is a joint project funded by the Federal Ministry of Research and Education (BMBF) and the European Social Fund (ESF) for a period of 3 years, from June 2017 to May 2020, under the funding measure ‘Work in the Digitalised World’ and supervised by the project management organization Karlsruhe. The project goal was the development of an employee-friendly cross-industry reference model for Internal Crowdsourcing.). Research Project in 2017. The aim of this chapter is to describe the ICU approach from the practical, company perspective of the GASAG Group and to map out identified success factors as well as provide general recommendations for the implementation of Internal Crowdsourcing in a business environment.

Abstract:
AbstractThe article focuses on the value of group discussions both as a method of organisational development and as a method of empirical social research. These two perspectives are discussed as a “double meaning”, which often occurs simultaneously in different forms. The concept of “multi-stakeholder dialogues” takes up this challenge. Following on from this, dimensions of the design and research of group discussions will be discussed. The contribution relates to the subproject “Multi-stakeholder Dialogues and Qualitative Evaluation” of the joint project “#ko.vernetzt”. The subproject had the task of accompanying, structuring and researching organisational development in a networked educational institution with dialogue formats. A total of nine dialogues were conducted with different groups of participants, six of which were analysed using qualitative methods. The research perspective is based on a concept of organisations from a praxeological perspective and an understanding of organisational culture as collective conjunctive experience. Thus, the object of qualitative research is the reconstruction of typical modus operandi of the processing of requirements. The results show that structural deficits in educational organisations are reproduced and reinforced by digitisation.

Abstract:
AbstractMethods of particles are now recognized as an effective tool for numerical modeling of dynamic mechanical and coupled processes in solids and liquids. This chapter is devoted to a brief review of recent advances in the development of the popular particle-based discrete element method (DEM). DEM is conventionally considered as a highly specialized technique for modeling the flow of granular media and the fracture of brittle materials at micro- and mesoscopic scales. However, in the last decade, great progress has been made in the development of the formalism of this method. It is largely associated with the works of the scientific group of Professor S. G. Psakhie. The most important achievement of this group is a generalized formulation of the method of homogeneously deformable discrete elements. In the chapter, we describe keystones of this implementation of DEM and a universal approach that allows one to apply various rheological models of materials (including coupled models of porous fluid-saturated solids) to a discrete element. The new formalism makes possible qualitative expansion of the scope of application of the particle-based discrete element technique to materials with various rheological properties and to the range of considered scales form microscopic to macroscopic. The capabilities of this method are especially in demand in the study of the features of contact interaction of materials. To demonstrate these capabilities, we briefly review two recent applications concerning (a) the effect of adhesive interaction on the regime of wear of surface asperities under tangential contact of bodies and (b) the nonmonotonic dependence of the stress concentration in the neck of the human femur on the dynamics of hip joint contact loading.

Abstract:
The European Investment Bank (EIB) has been at the vanguard of public-private partnership (PPP) promotion and has been followed by most regional development banks (RDB) and many national development banks around the world. EIB activism on the promotion of PPPs can best be understood through the lenses of policy and norm entrepreneurship. Operating strategically, the EIB repeatedly created a ‘policy window’ through which to promote PPPs in different contexts. The EIB developed unrivalled PPP expertise among public bodies globally—with the possible exception of the United Kingdom Treasury. While the EIB was potentially motivated by ‘rationalist’ institutional goals, ideational considerations motivated a small group of British and Irish norm entrepreneurs to promote PPPs. The EIB promoted PPP usage to other RDB through the sharing of expertise and the joint financing of projects.

Abstract:
In today’s global, hyper-competitive business environment, enterprise alignment is a top concern with senior management. With mergers, global joint ventures, outsourcing/ off-shoring, and increased global competition, organizations are struggling with a host of enterprise alignment issues, particularly around information technology (IT) strategy alignment. Well-aligned systems and processes can provide an organization with a powerful source of competitive advantage. According to Gartner Group, the number one concern of business and IT professions world-wide is the alignment of IT and business strategies.

Abstract:
In today’s global, hyper-competitive business environment, enterprise alignment is a top concern with senior management. With mergers, global joint ventures, outsourcing/ off-shoring, and increased global competition, organizations are struggling with a host of enterprise alignment issues, particularly around information technology (IT) strategy alignment. Well-aligned systems and processes can provide an organization with a powerful source of competitive advantage. According to Gartner Group, the number one concern of business and IT professions world-wide is the alignment of IT and business strategies. Unfortunately, according to Whittle and Myrick (2005), less than 10% of the Global 2000 have well integrated systems that are aligned with the strategy of the business. In addition, according to Worren, Ruddle, and Moore (1999), organization development (OD) efforts are also often misaligned with the strategy of the business. These strategic misalignments are becoming an increasing concern to senior management and are areas of opportunity for OD and IT organizations.

Abstract:
Joint application development (JAD) was introduced in the late 1970s to solve many of the problems system users experienced with the conventional methods used in systems requirements determination (SRD) and has produced noteworthy improvements over these methods. However, a JAD session is conducted with freely interacting groups, which makes it susceptible to the problems that have curtailed the effectiveness of groups. JAD outcomes are also critically dependent on excellent facilitation for minimizing dysfunctional group behaviors. Many JAD efforts are not contemplated (and some fail) because such a person is often unavailable. The nominal group technique (NGT) was designed to reduce the impact of negative group dynamics. An integration of JAD and NGT is proposed here as a crutch to reduce the burden of the JAD facilitator in controlling group sessions during SRD. This approach, which was tested empirically in a laboratory experiment, appeared to outperform JAD alone in the areas tested and seemed to contribute to excellent group outcomes even without excellent facilitation.

Abstract:
Influence maximization is a widely used model for information dissemination in social networks. Recent work has employed such interventions across a wide range of social problems, spanning public health, substance abuse, and international development (to name a few examples). A critical but understudied question is whether the benefits of such interventions are fairly distributed across different groups in the population; e.g., avoiding discrimination with respect to sensitive attributes such as race or gender. Drawing on legal and game-theoretic concepts, we introduce formal definitions of fairness in influence maximization. We provide an algorithmic framework to find solutions which satisfy fairness constraints, and in the process improve the state of the art for general multi-objective submodular maximization problems. Experimental results on real data from an HIV prevention intervention for homeless youth show that standard influence maximization techniques oftentimes neglect smaller groups which contribute less to overall utility, resulting in a disparity which our proposed algorithms substantially reduce.

Abstract:
The United States Department of Transportation’s (USDOT) Research and Innovative Technology Administration’s John A. Volpe National Transportation Systems Center (Volpe Center), under the direction of the USDOT Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) Office of Research and Development (R&amp;D), is conducting a Trespass Prevention Research Study (TPRS) in the city of West Palm Beach, Florida. The main objective of this research is to demonstrate potential benefits, including documenting best practices and lessons learned, of implementation and evaluation of trespass prevention strategies on the rail network in West Palm Beach, Florida and all of its rights-of-way. This paper will detail the development and implementation of a risk based data analysis to determine the locations of highest trespass risk along the TriRail commuter rail corridor through the City of West Palm Beach, FL. This feeds into the overall study objective by providing a methodology for prioritizing safety improvement programs for high-risk trespass locations. The research team used a hazard analysis process based on the U.S. Department of Defense’s MIL-STD-882 and the APTA hazard identification/resolution processes. The adaptation of this methodology facilitated the systematic identification, analysis, and resolution/mitigation of hazards for this study. The research team also developed a risk-based prioritization algorithm for analyzing the trespass issue on the corridor. The hazard analysis and risk-based prioritization algorithm were used to identify several trespass high-risk areas along the TriRail corridor. The results of the analysis have been used by the study’s stakeholder group, composed of railroads, state and local agencies, and their safety partners, to develop a set of mitigation strategies for those higher-risk locations as identified though this analysis.

Abstract:
The removal technology of single-wafer processing using ozone is proposed on photoresist stripping in the semiconductor manufacturing in order not to generate residual sulfate group after stripping. It is revealed that Disk-shaped nozzle proposed by the authors forms a vortex structure between the disks which is considered to cause the reduction of photoresist stripping rate. This study proposes a disk-shaped convex nozzle. In order to investigate the effects on the flow caused by the presence or absence of the convex, visualization using a high-speed video-camera and numerical simulation of the flow between the disks were conducted. Also, the stripping experiments were conducted to investigate the effects on the photoresist stripping rate caused by the presence or absence of the convex. As a result, the vortex structure that was observed in the disk-shaped nozzle has been disappeared in the disk-shaped convex nozzle. In addition, it is revealed that disk-shaped convex nozzle has the higher stripping ability than disk-shaped nozzle in the convex part. Next, as a stripping method that is different from the conventional, we suggest the ozone microbubble with a venturi tube. To obtaining knowledge about the performance of the photoresist stripping with the ozone microbubbles, first, the generation of ozone microbubbles is observed in the venturi tube via a high speed video camera. Next, to clarify the effect of the superficial liquid and gas velocities on the ozone water concentration and the photoresist stripping rate, ozone water concentration measurement and photoresist stripping experiments were conducted. As a result, the ozone water concentration with increasing superficial velocity increase and the remaining photoresist thickness reduce. In addition, compared with the existing study, it is suggested that the superficial liquid and gas velocities and ozone water concentration affect the photoresist stripping rate.

Abstract:
Traffic signal control has achieved significant success with the development of reinforcement learning. However, existing works mainly focus on intersections with normal lanes with fixed outgoing directions. It is noticed that some intersections actually implement dynamic lanes, in addition to normal lanes, to adjust the outgoing directions dynamically. Existing methods fail to coordinate the control of traffic signal and that of dynamic lanes effectively. In addition, they lack proper structures and learning algorithms to make full use of traffic flow prediction, which is essential to set the proper directions for dynamic lanes. Motivated by the ineffectiveness of existing approaches when controlling the traffic signal and dynamic lanes simultaneously, we propose a new method, namely MT-GAD, in this paper. It uses a group attention structure to reduce the number of required parameters and to achieve a better generalizability, and uses multi-timescale model training to learn proper strategy that could best control both the traffic signal and the dynamic lanes. The experiments on real datasets demonstrate that MT-GAD outperforms existing approaches significantly.

Abstract:
This paper describes the work of development of a virtual two-dimensional wind tunnel using a vortex element method carried by the authors group, explaining the mathematical basis of the method and structure of the virtual wind tunnel. Following the development of an advanced vortex element method, the authors proceeded to development of a virtual wind tunnel, which provides a useful tool for researchers, designers and teaching staffs in the field of fluid dynamics. As the first step of the development, construction of a two-dimensional wind tunnel has been studied. The 2-D wind tunnel works on a PC, and it has such attractive features that once a user prepares a set of numerical data of two-dimensional bodies, he or she can begin immediately unsteady calculation of a flow around either an isolated body or multiple bodies in a uniform flow without any grid-generation work. The calculation provides unsteady characteristics of lift and drag coefficients acting on each body and instantaneous flow patters visualized by distribution of vortex elements. In this paper, the numerical procedure of the vortex element method and structure of the virtual wind tunnel are briefly explained. And typical results of two-dimensional and unsteady calculation of flows around bluff bodies will be demonstrated.

Abstract:
Microbial substances introduced into the body of animals increase radio stability and reduce the mortality rate. The greatest significance can be obtained by using vaccines based on bacteria of the intestinal-typhoid group, which in the process of life produce antibacterial substances, enzymes, antigens, entero-and exotoxins, and cytokines with radioprotective properties. The tests revealed a complex mechanism of interaction between bifidobacteria and Escherichia in their joint cultivation. The biomass accumulation of E.coli strain «PL-6» and B.bifidum 1 during co-cultivation depended on the ratio of live bacteria E.coli strain «PL-6» and B.bifidum 1. Microcopy of smears made on days 1-4 from monocultures showed that the grown microbes in morphology corresponded to these cultures. The concentration of microorganisms, determined by tenfold dilution by the above method, was 1x109 CFU/ml - E.coli and 1x107 CFU/ml B.bifidum, with a sowing dose of each type of microbe 1x108 CFU/ml. Microcopy of smears made from a mixture of cultures showed that a dilution of 0,9:1,1-1,0:1,0 is most optimal for co-growing bifidum and Escherichia coli, since with a relatively equal number of monocultures on the 1st day Escherichiae multiply intensely, splitting the components of the Blaurock medium and inhibiting the growth of bifidum, but from the 3rd day B.bifidum begins to prevail, splitting E.coli and assimilating substances cleaved by E.coli.

Abstract:
The Covid-19 pandemic implies a decrease in family income, resulting in social problems such as unemployment and poverty. This study aims to describe the process of creating product innovation carried out by groups of women farmers by using the land around the house to grow vegetables and the challenges they face. The study was conducted on a group of female farmers in Bantul, Yogyakarta using a qualitative analysis approach. Data collection techniques used observation, in-depth interviews, and focus group discussions. The results of this study indicate that the crisis conditions and knowledge play an important role in the creation of innovation in agriculture. The diverse knowledge of the members creates new product and service innovation ideas. Universities, local governments, and industry play a role in encouraging the creation of innovation and the formation of joint ventures so that members get economic benefits. The women farmer groups have grown their roles, not only as social organizations but also in business organizations.

Abstract:
In February 2021, a group from MASTS, Environmental Interactions of Marine Renewables (EIMR) and Marine Scotland began exploring options for a joint event on marine energy science and policy development. The original concept was to bridge the gap between events that each group would normally arrange ‘in person’ and the virtual world in which we were all currently existing. Encouraged by the online support and experience available from MASTS, a steering group decided to arrange a workshop. In order to straddle our interests, the starting point was the capacity of the North Sea to deliver renewable energy. We wanted to include emerging science and the timing of the review of Scotland’s National Marine Plan provided an excellent context. We sought to deliver a wide range of content but encourage participant conversation. We aimed for a range of speakers delivering 7-minute recorded talks. Talks included findings from funded research, ongoing projects, and some emerging thinking across the science policy interface for marine planning. Marine energy was interpreted in the widest of senses, but the main focus was on offshore wind in UK waters, with particular detail about Scotland.
