Full text
Abstract:
In approximately 10-15% of cases Multiple Sclerosis follows a progressive rather than a relapsing course and this is known as Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis (PPMS). In this thesis previous clinical, pathological and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) studies of PPMS are reviewed and new studies using two cohorts of patients with PPMS are presented. In the first of these studies an existing cohort of patients with PPMS are re-examined at first two, and then five years, clinically and with MRI, to provide the longest period of MRI follow up in the condition to date. Changes in clinical and MRI measures over this time, and their correlation, are described. Over this extended period, some limited correlation can be found between clinical and MRI measures in PPMS. It is also seen that there is great variability in the rate of MRI and clinical progression between individuals with PPMS, although for a given individual progression is relatively constant. The possible implications of this observation for the nature of the underlying disease process are discussed. The second part of this thesis describes the clinical and MRI features of a second cohort of patients with clinically early PPMS, examined within five years of the first onset of symptoms, the first study to examine this stage of the condition. It is seen that much of the MRI variation seen in established PPMS is already present at this time and that the degree of MRI abnormality, even at this early stage, can be substantial. The specific question as to whether a distinct, early, inflammatory phase occurs in the condition (on the model of the more fully studied relapsing MS subtype) is addressed by the use of triple dose Gadolinium in a subgroup of this cohort examined over six months and evidence for the possible existence of such a phase in some patients with PPMS is found.

Full text
Abstract:
A non-linear primary-multiple separation method using curvelets frames is presented. The advantage of this method is that curvelets arguably provide an optimal sparse representation for both primaries and multiples. As such curvelets frames are ideal candidates to separate primaries from multiples given inaccurate predictions for these two data components. The method derives its robustness regarding the presence of noise; errors in the prediction and missing data from the curvelet frame's ability (i) to represent both signal components with a limited number of multi-scale and directional basis functions; (ii) to separate the components on the basis of differences in location, orientation and scales and (iii) to minimize correlations between the coefficients of the two components. A brief sketch of the theory is provided as well as a number of examples on synthetic and real data.

Full text
Abstract:
In this abstract, we present a novel primary-multiple separation scheme which makes use of the sparsity of both primaries and multiples in a transform domain, such as the curvelet transform, to provide estimates of each. The proposed algorithm utilizes seismic data as well as the output of a preliminary step that provides (possibly) erroneous predictions of the multiples. The algorithm separates the signal components, i.e., the primaries and multiples, by solving an optimization problem that assumes noisy input data and can be derived from a Bayesian perspective. More precisely, the optimization problem can be arrived at via an assumption of a weighted Laplacian distribution for the primary and multiple coefficients in the transform domain and of white Gaussian noise contaminating both the seismic data and the preliminary prediction of the multiples, which both serve as input to the algorithm.

Abstract:
Breast and ovarian cancers are among the most common tumours affecting Canadian women. A proportion of these tumours was thought to be due to family history and the breast cancer susceptibility gene and are more likely to occur before the age of 50. It is hypothesized that women who have both primary tumours of the breast and ovary are more likely to have a mutation in this gene. The main objective of this study is to examine the role of family history in those women with breast cancer that subsequently develop ovarian cancer. The role of chemotherapy and radiotherapy in the treatment of breast cancer, as a risk factor for future development of ovarian cancer, was also assessed.<br>This was a case-control study. The cases studied were women with multiple primary breast and ovarian cancers and were identified from the Quebec Tumour Registry and a database at Sunnybrook Hospital in Toronto.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis describes the work performed using conventional (whole and regional brain volume) and non-conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) which measures diffusion tensor imaging, magnetization transfer imaging and magnetic resonance spectroscopy, to arrive at the most sensitive way of detecting neurodegenerative change in patients with primary progressive multiple sclerosis (PPMS). The experiments described aim to identify the most useful surrogate marker or combination of such markers that could be used to power trials of neuroprotective agents in PPMS. First, we compared within-patient variability using the same primary progressive MS cohort and a small number of healthy controls of a number of different MR outcome measures. We outlined efforts made to reduce this measurement related variability. We then demonstrated significant longitudinal change over one year in most MR measures in our PPMS cohort compared to healthy controls. We also compared these values to the measured change over time and the across group standard deviation which are necessary values required to power studies. Next we explored the value of non-conventional MRI metrics at baseline and time to get to a baseline value (disease duration) to predict brain atrophy longitudinally over one year. We demonstrated that baseline corpus callosum volume predicted percentage brain volume change over the 6 subsequent year and this correlation between the two became stronger when the annual baseline loss in corpus callosum volume (CCV) was considered. Finally, we showed that the grey matter volume when incorporated into the power calculation for a longitudinal study was the single measure that reduced the sample size required by the most. The combination of volumetric measures (Thalamic Volume+GM Volume) was the most powerful combination, interestingly more powerful than combinations involving PBVC which is the current gold standard. Sample sizes were halved by combining two measures and reduced even futhur by using three measures in combination compared to using a single MR measure.

Full text
Abstract:
Behavioral problems in children are common concerns in pediatric primary care. Time is an important factor for primary care providers (PCP) and it has been shown that pediatricians spend approximately five minutes longer providing care when behavioral concerns are presented, reducing the number of patients for which they can provide care. To date, no research has looked at the relationship between the quantity of behavioral concerns and PCP time demands, which is the aim of the present study. Using a sample of 516 children at a pediatric setting in rural southwest Virginia, data was recoded to classify children in one of two groups: those with behavioral concerns and those without. Using descriptive statistics, it was found that 96 children (18.6%) presented with at least one behavioral concern (with a range of 1 to 6 total behavioral concerns). Children with behavioral concerns were compared to children with medical-only concerns (with a range of 1-7 total medical concerns). When one concern was presented and it was behavioral, it took longer to address than when patients presented with up to four medical-only concerns. Regardless of the total number of concerns presented, PCPs spent 6.57 minutes longer with children presenting with at least one behavioral concern when compared to children in the medical-only group. More specifically, PCPs spent 5.07 additional minutes when one behavioral concern was presented and 9.03 additional minutes when two behavioral concerns were presented. Despite the quantity of behavioral concerns presented and the impact such concerns have on PCP’s time, results show that 100% of concerns raised were addressed at all times by PCPs within this clinic. Although from a consumer’s prospective, this is a desirable approach, such a model is not an especially time or cost efficient way for pediatricians to spend their time. As PCPs continue to address behavioral concerns, it is critical to develop and implement strategies (e.g., prioritizing concerns, identifying less time consuming concerns, scheduling follow up appointments) to address behavioral concerns more efficiently. Furthermore, incorporation of a full time on-site behavioral health provider might be an especially efficient way to maximize patient care while also relieving providers from the additional time burdens associated with the high prevalence of behavioral concerns within pediatric practices.

Full text
Abstract:
Multiple primary melanoma is defined as the gain of at least one additional independent melanoma and occurs in approximately 5% of melanoma patients. Germline mutations can be identified in genes in these patients, which are known to, or are predicted to result in an extension of melanocyte lifespan e.g. pl6, CDK4, and components of the telomere shelterin cap. We therefore hypothesised that 'normal' melanocytes from pl6 and CDK4 wild-type multiple primary melanoma patients have a statistically longer lifespan compared to those from single primary melanoma patients. Melanocytes from multiple primary melanoma patients did display a significantly extended culture lifespan, independently of donor age. Multiple primary melanoma is therefore commonly associated with a delay in normal melanocyte senescence. There is currently a shortage of diagnostic markers for melanoma and novel ones are needed for more accurate diagnosis and prognosis. TERT (the enzymatic component of telomerase) expression is the commonest route to telomere maintenance, required for melanoma immortality. TERT expression was tested via immunohistochemistry in a series of melanoma precursor and melanoma lesions, to analyse at which point in progression its expression is activated. The protein was found to be localised in either the nucleolus, the nucleoplasm (designated non-nucleolarTERT), or both. Only non-nucleolarTERT expression significantly increased with melanoma progression, suggesting this location is associated with immortality. As senescence likely needs to be bypassed for advanced melanoma development, microarrays were previously carried out comparing growing and senescent wild-type and pl6-null melanocyte lines to evaluate significantly up- or downregulated genes which could be used as future markers. In the present study, potential novel markers were authenticated using PCR and immunoblotting and validated genes were analysed via immunohistochemistry in a series of melanoma precursor and melanoma lesions. ETS1 was tested owing to recent findings that it can bind to and activate the mutant TERT promoter found commonly in melanomas. ETS1 was expressed at all stages from benign nevi onwards, perhaps owing to its link with the MAPK pathway.

Abstract:
The 2015 Residential Energy Consumption Survey design called for stratification of primary sampling units to improve estimation. Two methods of defining strata from multiple stratification variables were proposed, leading to this investigation. All stratification methods use stratification variables available for the entire frame. We reviewed textbook guidance on the general principles and desirable properties of stratification variables and the assumptions on which the two methods were based. Using principal components combined with cluster analysis on the stratification variables to define strata focuses on relationships among stratification variables. Decision trees, regressions, and correlation approaches focus more on relationships between the stratification variables and prior outcome data, which may be available for just a sample of units. Using both principal components/cluster analysis and decision trees, we stratified primary sampling units for the 2009 Residential Energy Consumption Survey and compared the resulting strata.

Abstract:
In 2019, the Gambling Commission announced a National Strategy to Reduce Gambling Harms. Underlying the strategy is the Framework of Harms, outlined in Measuring gambling-related harms: A framework for action. "The Framework" adopts a public health approach to address gambling-related harm in Great Britain across multiple levels of measurement. It comprises three primary factors and nine related subfactors. To advance the National Strategy, all componentsneed to be supported by a strong evidence base. This report examines existing research expertise relevant to the Framework amongacademics based in the UK. The aim is to understand the extent to which the Framework factors and subfactors have been studied in order to identify gaps in expertise and provide evidence for decision making thatisrelevant to gambling harms research priorities. A social network analysis identified coauthor networks and alignment of research output with the Framework. The search strategy was limited to peer-reviewed items and covered the 12-year period from 2008 to 2019. Articles were selected using a Web of Science search. Of the 1417 records identified in the search, the dataset was refined to include only those articles that could be assigned to at least one Framework factor (n = 279). The primary factors and subfactors are: Resources:Work and Employment, Money and Debt, Crime;Relationships:Partners, Families and Friends, Community; and Health:Physical Health, Psychological Distress, and Mental Health. We used Gephi software to create visualisations reflecting degree centrality (number of coauthor networks) so that each factor and subfactor could be assessed for the density of research expertise and patterns of collaboration among coauthors. The findings show considerable variation by framework factor in the number of authors and collaborations, suggesting a need to develop additional research capacity to address under-researched areas. The Health factor subcategory of Mental Health comprised almost three-quarters of all citations, with the Resources factor subcategory of Money and Debt a distant second at 12% of all articles. The Relationships factor, comprised of two subfactors, accounted for less than 10%of total articles. Network density varied too. Although there were few collaborative networks in subfactors such as Community or Work and Employment, all Health subfactors showed strong levels of collaboration. Further, some subfactors with a limited number of researchers such as Partners, Families, and Friends and Money and debt had several active collaborations. Some researchers’ had publications that spanned multiple Framework factors. These multiple-factor researchers usually had a wide range of coauthors when compared to those who specialised (with the exception of Mental Health).Others’ collaborations spanned subfactors within a factor area. This was especially notable forHealth. The visualisations suggest that gambling harms research expertise in the UK has considerable room to grow in order to supporta more comprehensive, locally contextualised evidence base for the Framework. To do so, priority harms and funding opportunities will need further consideration. This will require multi-sector and multidisciplinary collaboration consistent with the public health approach underlying the Framework. Future research related to the present analysis will explore the geographic distribution of research activity within the UK, and research collaborations with harms experts internationally.

Abstract:
The ability to simulate snow accumulation and melting processes is fundamental to developing real-time hydrological models in watersheds with a snowmelt-dominated flow regime. A primary source of uncertainty with this model development approach is the subjectivity related to which historical periods to use and how to combine parameters from multiple calibration events. The Hydrologic Engineering Center, Hydrological Modeling System, has recently implemented a hybrid temperature index (TI) snow module that has not been extensively tested. This study evaluates a radiatative temperature index (RTI) model’s performance relative to the traditional air TI model. The TI model for Willow Creek performed reasonably well in both the calibration and validation years. The results of the RTI calibration and validation simulations resulted in additional questions related to how best to parameterize this snow model. An RTI parameter sensitivity analysis indicates that the choice of calibration years will have a substantial impact on the parameters and thus the streamflow results. Based on the analysis completed in this study, further refinement and verification of the RTI model calculations are required before an objective comparison with the TI model can be completed.

Abstract:
The main objectives of this study are to investigate the trends in primary pavement materials’ unit price over time and to develop statistical models and guidelines for using predictive unit prices of pavement materials instead of uniform unit prices in life cycle cost analysis (LCCA) for future maintenance and rehabilitation (M&amp;R) projects. Various socio-economic data were collected for the past 20 years (1997–2018) in California, including oil price, population, government expenditure in transportation, vehicle registration, and other key variables, in order to identify factors affecting pavement materials’ unit price. Additionally, the unit price records of the popular pavement materials were categorized by project size (small, medium, large, and extra-large). The critical variables were chosen after identifying their correlations, and the future values of each variable were predicted through time-series analysis. Multiple regression models using selected socio-economic variables were developed to predict the future values of pavement materials’ unit price. A case study was used to compare the results between the uniform unit prices in the current LCCA procedures and the unit prices predicted in this study. In LCCA, long-term prediction involves uncertainties due to unexpected economic trends and industrial demand and supply conditions. Economic recessions and a global pandemic are examples of unexpected events which can have a significant influence on variations in material unit prices and project costs. Nevertheless, the data-driven scientific approach as described in this research reduces risk caused by such uncertainties and enables reasonable predictions for the future. The statistical models developed to predict the future unit prices of the pavement materials through this research can be implemented to enhance the current LCCA procedure and predict more realistic unit prices and project costs for the future M&amp;R activities, thus promoting the most cost-effective alternative in LCCA.

Full text
Abstract:
Objective. To assess the comparative benefits and harms across three airway management approaches (bag valve mask [BVM], supraglottic airway [SGA], and endotracheal intubation [ETI]) by emergency medical services in the prehospital setting, and how the benefits and harms differ based on patient characteristics, techniques, and devices. Data sources. We searched electronic citation databases (Ovid® MEDLINE®, CINAHL®, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, and Scopus®) from 1990 to September 2020 and reference lists, and posted a Federal Register notice request for data. Review methods. Review methods followed Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality Evidence-based Practice Center Program methods guidance. Using pre-established criteria, studies were selected and dual reviewed, data were abstracted, and studies were evaluated for risk of bias. Meta-analyses using profile-likelihood random effects models were conducted when data were available from studies reporting on similar outcomes, with analyses stratified by study design, emergency type, and age. We qualitatively synthesized results when meta-analysis was not indicated. Strength of evidence (SOE) was assessed for primary outcomes (survival, neurological function, return of spontaneous circulation [ROSC], and successful advanced airway insertion [for SGA and ETI only]). Results. We included 99 studies (22 randomized controlled trials and 77 observational studies) involving 630,397 patients. Overall, we found few differences in primary outcomes when airway management approaches were compared. • For survival, there was moderate SOE for findings of no difference for BVM versus ETI in adult and mixed-age cardiac arrest patients. There was low SOE for no difference in these patients for BVM versus SGA and SGA versus ETI. There was low SOE for all three comparisons in pediatric cardiac arrest patients, and low SOE in adult trauma patients when BVM was compared with ETI. • For neurological function, there was moderate SOE for no difference for BVM compared with ETI in adults with cardiac arrest. There was low SOE for no difference in pediatric cardiac arrest for BVM versus ETI and SGA versus ETI. In adults with cardiac arrest, neurological function was better for BVM and ETI compared with SGA (both low SOE). • ROSC was applicable only in cardiac arrest. For adults, there was low SOE that ROSC was more frequent with SGA compared with ETI, and no difference for BVM versus SGA or BVM versus ETI. In pediatric patients there was low SOE of no difference for BVM versus ETI and SGA versus ETI. • For successful advanced airway insertion, low SOE supported better first-pass success with SGA in adult and pediatric cardiac arrest patients and adult patients in studies that mixed emergency types. Low SOE also supported no difference for first-pass success in adult medical patients. For overall success, there was moderate SOE of no difference for adults with cardiac arrest, medical, and mixed emergency types. • While harms were not always measured or reported, moderate SOE supported all available findings. There were no differences in harms for BVM versus SGA or ETI. When SGA was compared with ETI, there were no differences for aspiration, oral/airway trauma, and regurgitation; SGA was better for multiple insertion attempts; and ETI was better for inadequate ventilation. Conclusions. The most common findings, across emergency types and age groups, were of no differences in primary outcomes when prehospital airway management approaches were compared. As most of the included studies were observational, these findings may reflect study design and methodological limitations. Due to the dynamic nature of the prehospital environment, the results are susceptible to indication and survival biases as well as confounding; however, the current evidence does not favor more invasive airway approaches. No conclusion was supported by high SOE for any comparison and patient group. This supports the need for high-quality randomized controlled trials designed to account for the variability and dynamic nature of prehospital airway management to advance and inform clinical practice as well as emergency medical services education and policy, and to improve patient-centered outcomes.

Full text
Abstract:
A systematic approach to tree planting and management globally is hindered by the limited synthesis of information sources on tree uses and species priorities. To help address this, the authors ‘mined’ information from 23 online global and regional databases to assemble a list of the most frequent tree species deemed useful for planting according to database mentions, with a focus on tropical regions. Using a simple vote count approach for ranking species, we obtained a shortlist of 100 trees mentioned in at least 10 of our data sources (the ‘top-100’ species). A longer list of 830 trees that were mentioned at least five times was also compiled. Our ‘top-100’ list indicated that the family Fabaceae (syn. Leguminosae) was most common. The information associated with our mined data sources indicated that the ‘top-100’ list consisted of a complementary group of species of differing uses. These included the following: for wood (mostly for timber) and fuel production, human nutrition, animal fodder supply, and environmental service provision (varied services). Of these uses, wood was most frequently specified, with fuel and food use also highly important. Many of the ‘top-100’ species were assigned multiple uses. The majority of the ‘top-100’ species had weediness characteristics according to ‘attribute’ invasiveness databases that were also reviewed, thereby demonstrating potential environmental concerns associated with tree planting that need to be balanced against environmental and livelihood benefits. Less than half of the ‘top-100’ species were included in the OECD Scheme for the Certification of Forest Reproductive Material, thus supporting a view that lack of germplasm access is a common concern for trees. A comparison of the ‘top-100’ species with regionally-defined tree inventories indicated their diverse continental origins, as would be anticipated from a global analysis. However, compared to baseline expectations, some geographic regions were better represented than others. Our analysis assists in priority-setting for research and serves as a guide to practical tree planting initiatives. We stress that this ‘top-100’ list does not necessarily represent tree priorities for the future, but provides a starting point for also addressing representation gaps. Indeed, our primary concern going forward is with the latter.

Full text
Abstract:
The multiple schema for the classification of soils rely on differing criteria but the major soil science systems, including the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the international harmonized World Reference Base for Soil Resources soil classification systems, are primarily based on inferred pedogenesis. Largely these classifications are compiled from individual observations of soil characteristics within soil profiles, and the vast majority of this pedologic information is contained in nonquantitative text descriptions. We present initial text mining analyses of parsed text in the digitally available USDA soil taxonomy documentation and the Soil Survey Geographic database. Previous research has shown that latent information structure can be extracted from scientific literature using Natural Language Processing techniques, and we show that this latent information can be used to expedite query performance by using syntactic elements and part-of-speech tags as indices. Technical vocabulary often poses a text mining challenge due to the rarity of its diction in the broader context. We introduce an extension to the common English vocabulary that allows for nearly-complete indexing of USDA Soil Series Descriptions.

Colomb, Claire, and Tatiana Moreira de Souza. Regulating Short-Term Rentals: Platform-based property rentals in European cities: the policy debates. Property Research Trust, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.52915/kkkd3578.

Full text
Abstract:
Short-term rentals mediated by digital platforms have positive and negative impacts that are unevenly distributed among socio-economic groups and places. Detrimental impacts on the housing market and quality of life of long-term residents have been particular contentious in some cities. • In the 12 cities studied in the report (Amsterdam, Barcelona, Berlin, Brussels, Lisbon, London, Madrid, Milan, Paris, Prague, Rome and Vienna), city governments have responded differently to the growth of short-term rentals. • The emerging local regulations of short-term rentals take multiple forms and exhibit various degrees of stringency, ranging from rare cases of laissez-faire to a few cases of partial prohibition or strict quantitative control. Most city governments have sought to find a middle-ground approach that differentiates between the professional rental of whole units and the occasional rental of one’s home/ primary residence. • The regulation of short-term rentals is contentious and highly politicised. Six broad categories of interest groups and non-state actors actively participate in the debates with contrasting positions: advocates of the ‘sharing’ or ‘collaborative’ economy; corporate platforms; professional organisatons of short-term rental operators; new associations of hosts or ‘home-sharers’; the hotel and hospitality industry; and residents’ associations/citizens’ movements. • All city governments face difficulties in implementing and enforcing the regulations, due to a lack of sufficient resources and to the absence of accurate and comprehensive data on individual hosts. That data is held by corporate platforms, which have generally not accepted to release it (with a few exceptions) nor to monitor the content of their listings against local rules. • The relationships between platforms and city governments have oscillated between collaboration and conflict. Effective implementation is impossible without the cooperation of platforms. • In the context of the European Union, the debate has taken a supranational dimension, as two pieces of EU law frame the possibility — and acceptable forms — of regulation of online platforms and of short-term rentals in EU member states: the 2000 E-Commerce Directive and the 2006 Services Directive. • For regulation to be effective, the EU legal framework should be revised to ensure platform account- ability and data disclosure. This would allow city (and other ti ers of) governments to effectively enforce the regulations that they deem appropriate. • Besides, national and regional governments, who often control the legislative framework that defines particular types of short-term rentals, need to give local governments the necessary tools to be able to exercise their ‘right to regulate’ in the name of public interest objectives.

Full text
Abstract:
In this report, we have evaluated the performance of nearly 40 global climate models (GCMs) participating in Phase 6 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP6). The focus is on the northern European area, but the ability to simulate southern European and global climate is discussed as well. Model evaluation was started with a technical control; completely unrealistic values in the GCM output files were identified by seeking the absolute minimum and maximum values. In this stage, one GCM was rejected totally, and furthermore individual output files from two other GCMs. In evaluating the remaining GCMs, the primary tool was the Model Climate Performance Index (MCPI) that combines RMS errors calculated for the different climate variables into one index. The index takes into account both the seasonal and spatial variations in climatological means. Here, MCPI was calculated for the period 1981—2010 by comparing GCM output with the ERA-Interim reanalyses. Climate variables explored in the evaluation were the surface air temperature, precipitation, sea level air pressure and incoming solar radiation at the surface. Besides MCPI, we studied RMS errors in the seasonal course of the spatial means by examining each climate variable separately. Furthermore, the evaluation procedure considered model performance in simulating past trends in the global-mean temperature, the compatibility of future responses to different greenhouse-gas scenarios and the number of available scenario runs. Daily minimum and maximum temperatures were likewise explored in a qualitative sense, but owing to the non-existence of data from multiple GCMs, these variables were not incorporated in the quantitative validation. Four of the 37 GCMs that had passed the initial technical check were regarded as wholly unusable for scenario calculations: in two GCMs the responses to the different greenhouse gas scenarios were contradictory and in two other GCMs data were missing from one of the four key climate variables. Moreover, to reduce inter-GCM dependencies, no more than two variants of any individual GCM were included; this led to an abandonment of one GCM. The remaining 32 GCMs were divided into three quality classes according to the assessed performance. The users of model data can utilize this grading to select a subset of GCMs to be used in elaborating climate projections for Finland or adjacent areas. Annual-mean temperature and precipitation projections for Finland proved to be nearly identical regardless of whether they were derived from the entire ensemble or by ignoring models that had obtained the lowest scores. Solar radiation projections were somewhat more sensitive.
