Across the world, refugee hosting has been associated with costs and benefits to the hosting nations. However, in Kenya, hosting Somali refugees is majorly considered costly rather than beneficial to the nation. The county’s high insecurity is one of the major effects that Somali refugees are associated with. No objective research has indicated the specific benefits of Somali refugees in Kenya. Using mixed research method, this study focused on establishing the costs and benefits of Somali refugees. The findings show that Somali refugees pose positive and negative effects on the Kenyan state. These effects are economic, social, and environmental. The study recommends policy implementation and technological adoption strategies as ways of enhancing Somali refugee contribution to Kenya’s socio-economic development.

Full textAbstract:
In line with the ORPHEUS guidelines, to encourage international recognition of PhD theses, the Faculty of Medicine University of Belgrade (FMUB) promotes writing PhD theses in English. FMUB also requests and encourages PhD candidates to publish their results in international journals before thesis submission so as to increase their visibility in the scientific community. In addition to specific topics in medicine, PhD education needs to cover topics of general interest to researchers, in particular copyright and originality issues in scientific research. By adopting the concepts and terms of copyright, PhD candidates learn the importance of intellectual property and avoid plagiarism. As writing a PhD thesis in English may increase textual overlap between the thesis and the candidate's own published papers (in English) originating from the thesis, there may be some dilemmas in practice as to whether such textual overlap should be considered self-plagiarism or not. In line with the regulations at the top universities in the field of medicine, FMUB has adopted the conclusion that textual overlap between the thesis and the thesis-based publications of the candidate does not represent self-plagiarism, provided that certain conditions are met. Namely, regardless of the language of the dissertation, the key aspects of academic integrity in writing a PhD thesis should be honesty and transparency, namely, transparently linking the thesis-based publications with the final thesis; honestly and appropriately referencing the statements or any other content taken from the candidate's own previous work (unrelated to thesis) or other people's work; and transparently acknowledging the contribution from coauthors and team members in the thesis. These recommendations will improve transparency of thesis writing, protect PhD candidates and their supervisors, enhance internationalization of PhD programs, and further promote academic honesty in medical research and publishing.

Supervision is a specific relationship, where an experienced senior researcher provides guidance, support, and advice to navigate a junior colleague through the barriers to becoming an independent researcher. While supervision is clearly a rewarding duty, it is also associated with a number of challenges. It is clear that supervision involves many responsibilities, which means that the supervisor needs to possess a certain set of skills. While many of these skills are learned in the direct interaction with PhD candidates, it would be beneficial if a more formal and structured training was offered to supervisors, especially at the beginning of their supervision careers, so as to avoid frequent mistakes in the supervisor-PhD candidate relationship. Hence, the idea is to shift from experience-based supervision to professionalization, believing that such an approach would reduce the risk of poor supervision. At present, many universities offer formal education of supervisors. The practice of organized education of supervisors at University of Belgrade Faculty of Medicine started in 2019 with the aim of preparing future supervisors to establish productive and responsive relationships with PhD candidates. After a break due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a revised supervision course was organized in 2022. The survey conducted among the attendees of the two organized courses supported the need for better education of university teachers in terms of supervision skills and leading of PhD candidates. Indeed, considering the fact that PhD outcomes are largely dependent on the supervisor and the successful supervisor-PhD candidate relationship, supporting supervision through formal training and education may be an important step in improving PhD experience and outcomes for both supervisors and PhD candidates.

Full textAbstract:
Doctoral studies can be daunting unless candidates are able to implement effective self-directed strategies and motivational tools to ensure success, which is reflected in the high attrition rates of doctoral candidates globally. This paper explores the use of a learning management system (LMS) to support the completion of a PhD for a doctoral candidate in a regional university enrolled in the online offering. The LMS was used throughout the PhD journey by the candidate to manage and organise documents related to the PhD study and reflect on progress. Using a digital ethnographic methodology, we analyse artefacts from the LMS through the lens of self-directed learning including cognitive, metacognitive, affective and social strategies. Findings showed that the LMS proved to be a useful way to organise, access and store information and had tools to enable motivation, both by the doctoral candidate and the supervisor. They also showed that the relationship between the candidate and supervisor was critical in this success. Implications from this digital ethnography highlight important self-directed strategies enabled through the use of the LMS. In addition, the LMS allowed deep reflection on PhD progress and provided the necessary motivation to complete the study. Therefore, LMS use could potentially increase doctoral candidate retention. Implications for practice or policy Supervisors within universities could consider facilitating an LMS as an effective learning environment to organise, access and store information for a doctoral student’s studies. Doctoral students may benefit from the pedagogical tools in an LMS to enhance self-directed study and facilitate communication with supervisors during their doctoral studies.

Full textAbstract:
Aim/Purpose: The purpose of this work is to develop more nuanced understandings of the PhD by publication, particularly raising awareness of the retrospective PhD by publication. The article aims to contribute to contemporary debates about the differing pathways to the attainment of doctoral study completion and the artifacts submitted for that purpose. It also seeks to support prospective graduate students and supervisors who are embarking upon alternative routes to doctoral accreditation. Background: The PhD is considered the pinnacle of academic study – highly cherished, and replete with deeply held beliefs. In response to changes in job markets, developments in the disciplines, and more varied student cohorts, diverse pathways to completion of this award have emerged, such as the PhD by publication (PhDP). A PhDP may either be prospective or retrospective. For the former, publications are planned and created with their contributions to the PhDP in mind. The retrospective PhD is assembled after some, or most, of the publications have been completed. The artifact submitted for examination in this case consists of a series of peer-reviewed academic papers, books, chapters, or equivalents that have been published or accepted for publication, accompanied by an over-arching narrative. The retrospective route is particularly attractive for professionals who are research-active but lack formal academic accreditation at the highest level. Methodology: This article calls upon a literature review pertaining to the award of PhDP combined with the work of authors who offer their personal experiences of the award. The author also refers to her candidature as a Scottish doctoral student whilst studying for the award of PhD by publication. Contribution: This work raises awareness of the PhDP as a credible and comparable pathway for graduate students. The article focuses upon the retrospective PhDP which, as with all routes to doctoral accreditation, has both benefits and issues for the candidate, discipline, and institution. Findings: The literature review identifies a lack of critical research into the PhDP, which mirrors the embryonic stage of the award’s development. Two specific anxieties are noted throughout the literature pertaining to the retrospective PhDP: first, issues for the candidate when creating and presenting an artifact submitted for examination; and, second, the diverse, and sometimes conflicting, advantages and challenges for the candidate, the subject specialism, and the institution of this pathway to doctoral accreditation. Recommendations for Practitioners: The advantages and challenges of the retrospective PhDP, for candidates, disciplines, and institutions are summarized especially pertaining to the artifact for submission, to guide conversations between supervisors and potential doctoral candidates. Impact on Society: It is hoped that this work will inform on-going conversations about pathways to PhD accreditation. Future Research: The article closes by proposing an emergent typology of the PhDP and by posing questions for those working in the area of doctoral study. Both seek to progress conversations about routes to doctoral accreditation.

Background While well-being has become increasingly important in graduate education, limited information exists regarding factors contributing towards burnout and well-being in Pharmaceutical Sciences Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) students. This exploratory story aimed to identify factors influencing well-being and burnout in these students as well as identify recommendations to support their well-being. Methods A two-stage sampling approach was used: (1) purpose sample of Pharmaceutical Sciences PhD students at a public university were invited to participate in a semi-structured focus group or interview to explore factors contributing to PhD student burnout and well-being as well as solicit suggestions for strategies to improve their well-being; (2) Stratified sampling was used to assign participants into focus groups by All-But-Dissertation (ABD) status (i.e., pre-ABD candidates, ABD candidates) to explore experiences that may be unique to these students. Inductive coding and thematic analysis were used. Results Six PhD candidates participated in three sessions: three Pre-ABD candidates in one focus group, two ABD candidates in one focus group, and one ABD candidate in one interview. Participants identified relationships and aspects of curriculum and research (i.e., program design, completing milestones) as factors influencing their well-being. Factors influencing participants’ burnout included curriculum and research stressors (e.g., cumulative exams, competing academic and research responsibilities), working overtime, unrealistic expectations, lack of work life balance, and financial burden. While relationships and curriculum and research were factors in both subgroups, unique aspects within these themes emerged between Pre-ABD and ABD participants. Participant recommendations to foster PhD student well-being included improving financial support and encouraging PhD connections. Conclusions This study advances knowledge on factors influencing PhD student well-being and burnout, providing suggestions to improve their well-being. Findings highlight curriculum and research factors as well as relationship dynamics influence graduate student burnout and well-being. Findings contribute to broader conversations aimed to support student wellness and reduce burnout in higher education, informing the academy of focused areas and strategies to improve PhD student well-being.

The purpose of this narrative review is to analyze the transition of the Candidate of Sciences (CSc) to the Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) academic degree among doctors who defended their theses in modern Ukraine and who specialize in Surgical Dentistry (i.e., Oral Surgery) and Maxillofacial Surgery. The following were highlighted: (1) regulatory documents regarding obtaining a CSc/PhD degree, (2) institutions that issued and issue diplomas and diploma supplements of CSc/PhD, (3) eight CSc and PhD diplomas awarded to citizens of Ukraine and foreigners since 2002, as well as supplements to diplomas, (4) a digital analog of the PhD diploma in the Diia (Action) smartphone application, (5) capabilities of the Diia app for educational documents, and (6) the number and types of points awarded for defending theses and obtaining PhD diplomas. The article also suggests why the Diia app does not contain digital analogs of diplomas of Candidate and Doctor of Sciences. According to our analysis, this is the first publication that highlights the comparison of the CSc and PhD diplomas of densitst at different stages of development of the specialties Surgical Dentistry and Maxillofacial Surgery and with the first published visualization of the digital analog of the PhD diploma.

Abstract. The Water Informatics in Science and Engineering Centre for Doctoral Training (WISE CDT) offers a postgraduate programme that fosters enhanced levels of innovation and collaboration by training a cohort of engineers and scientists at the boundary of water informatics, science and engineering. The WISE CDT was established in 2014 with funding from the UK Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) amongst the universities of Bath, Bristol, Cardiff and Exeter. The WISE CDT will ultimately graduate over 80 PhD candidates trained in a non-traditional 4-year UK doctoral programme that integrates teaching and research elements in close collaboration with a range of industrial partners. WISE focuses on cohort-based education and equips the PhD candidates with a wide range of skills developed through workshops and other activities to maximise candidate abilities and experiences. We discuss the need for, the structure and results of the WISE CDT, which has been ongoing from 2013–2022 (final year of graduation). We conclude with lessons learned and an outlook for PhD training, based on our experience with this programme.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Background Several COVID-19 vaccines have been authorized, and the need for rapid, further modification is anticipated. This work uses a Model-Based Meta-Analysis (MBMA) to relate, across species, immunogenicity to peak viral load (VL) after challenge and to clinical efficacy. Together with non-clinical and/or early clinical immunogenicity data (ECID), this enables prediction of a candidate vaccine’s clinical efficacy. The goal of this work was to enable the accelerated development of vaccine candidates by supporting Go/No-Go and study design decisions, and the resulting MBMA can be instrumental in decisions not to progress candidates to late stage development. Methods A literature review with pre-specified inclusion/exclusion criteria enabled creation of a database including nonclinical serum neutralizing titers (SN), peak VL after challenge with SARS-CoV-2 (VL), along with data from several clinical vaccine candidates. Rhesus Macaque (RM) and golden hamster (GH) were selected (due to availability and consistency of data) for MBMA modeling. For both RM and GH, peak post-challenge VL in lung and nasal tissues were used as surrogates for clinical disease and were related to pre-challenge SN via the MBMA. The VL predictions from the RM MBMA were scaled to incidence rates in humans, with a scaling factor between RM and human SN estimated using early Phase 3 efficacy data. This enabled clinical efficacy predictions based on ECID. To qualify the model’s predictive power, efficacies of COVID-19 vaccine candidates were compared to those predicted from the MBMA and their respective Ph1/2 SN data. More recently available clinical data enable building a clinical MBMA; comparing this to the RM MBMA further supports SN as predictive. Results The MBMA analyses identified a sigmoidal decrease in VL (increasing protection) with increase in SN in all three species, with more SN needed (in both RM and GH) for protection in nasal swabs than in BAL (see figure). The comparison between predicted and reported clinical efficacies demonstrated the model’s predictive power across vaccine platforms. RM and GH MBMA Protection Models and Translational Prediction with Observed Efficacies Sizes of circles indicate relative weight of the data in the respective quantitative model. Model and data visualizations have been harmonized (across tissue-types) separately for each of RM and GH using VACHER (Lommerse, et al., CPT:PSP, in press). Conclusion By quantifying adjustments needed between species and assays, translational MBMA can inform development decisions by using nonclinical SN and VL, and ECID to predict protection from COVID-19.

Full textAbstract:
Research supervisors and their higher degree research (HDR) candidates – including Master, Professional Doctorate, and PhD candidates – make critical contributions to research and innovation. In addition to providing research training, research supervisors have traditionally also acted as the graduate employability practitioner for their HDR candidates through preparation for work in academia. However, the effectivness of traditional HDR training models (such as the knowledge transmission, master-apprentice model for PhD training) are being reviewed in Australia and elsewhere due to changes in the contemporary employment environment. These changes include: fewer available academic jobs; increased desire of HDR candidates for non-academic careers; and implementation of government policies aimed at increasing the return on research investment, including by increasing alignment of graduate attributes with contemporary employer needs. Consequently, work-integrated learning (WIL) activities are being incorporated into HDR degrees to broaden HDR training beyond acquisition of research-focussed skills. For effective incorporation of WIL into HDR degrees, recognition is needed of the different types and roles of graduate employability practitioners required by HDR candidates, as well as improvements to training support structures, and evolved metrics for assessment of supervisor and HDR candidate success.

Full textAbstract:
Extant literature reveals that reports of the experiences of humanities doctoral students are relatively rare. In view of examining whether there is a need to review the traditional French studies doctoral training into the New-route PhD to reboot and reinvigorate the field, an inventory of how doctorates were and are still trained was conducted in 2019. An informal interview with five PhD holders, who have completed their PhD in the same field at different universities in France and Mauritius, was done. Two main themes were manually coded during data collection: research community, and doctoral training and career guidance. Despite major amendments over the centuries, the doctoral training for candidates enrolled in this PhD in both France and Mauritius still lags behind and is often accused of being completely irrelevant in solving social issues. In this empirical study, the focus group has enabled us to investigate the support doctoral students have received in order to make learning leaps and develop research and technical skills which can benefit them in or outside academia. Despite the resilience of all respondents to complete their PhD (French studies), it seems that some changes are needed in the field. The role of the university and Education 4.0 is not to simply produce and disseminate knowledge but must also prepare the student to face the labour market and to enable the doctoral candidate achieve what is called “doctorateness”, participate in (inter)-national research community and use advanced technology such as programming languages/artificial intelligence/metaverse/virtual reality among others.

Full textAbstract:
This essay outlines a unique set of challenges that we confronted as a PhD supervisor and candidate, drawing on a research project within a United States Federal Prison. We elicit the challenges that can be faced at different stages before, during, and after fieldwork, and share three lessons for others. First, exploring unique phenomena and processes often requires conducting research in extreme empirical contexts, which while challenging, helps to establish the boundaries within which other archetypes can be studied. Second, educating incarcerated individuals is a challenge and an opportunity, and requires creative approaches that can transcend work, family, and social boundaries. Finally, while it is tempting for supervisors and candidates to embark on PhDs for instrumental purposes, helping to support and develop each other should be the core motivation. We hope that others can learn from our experience and reflect on and share more widely their own experiences and practices.

Thus, I: • survey some of the questions that arise about the journeys made by the candidate, supervisor and examiner of the PhD in creative writing; • introduce discussion about what constitutes academic knowledge with particular reference to the PhD in writing at Swinburne University of Technology, Lilydale Campus; • bring to the fore multiple possibilities in understanding possible conceptualizations of legitimate scholarly, intellectual and cultural research; and • survey some ideas about research and/as creativity. In doing so, I provide the basis for discussion of the dynamic nature of research, and situate this discussion within the framework of assessment.

Full textAbstract:
Novice researchers face challenges in applying grounded theory and choosing between its two historical approaches—Glaserian and Straussian. Although much has been discussed regarding the differences between the Glaserian and Straussian approaches, these differences can confuse early researchers, leading to the flawed use of grounded theory in management and organizational research. Using three case studies (a PhD graduate, a PhD candidate, and a PhD supervisor) in a management and organizational research context, this article illustrates these key differences and provides guidance for researchers in choosing between them. By providing examples and commentary, this article aims to help researchers to choose and apply the most appropriate form of grounded theory within the field of management and organizational research.

This article is a commentary of the author’s experiences with visual representation as a doctoral candidate. It is an autobiographical reflection of her doctoral journey towards a PhD in education, a mixed methods study which explored teaching for creativity and creative processes for music educators. The author reflects on the experience of engaging with her own work visually via cartooning and mind mapping, and what this meant for her studies and her experience as a research student. The author hopes that this can offer a scope for reflection to readers who are doing similar types of studies or intend to engage more creatively with their doctoral studies. The article aims to demonstrate the benefit of cartooning as a self-expressive tool for the PhD candidate and to show the value of visual representation through mind mapping in the process of data analysis.

Full textAbstract:
Tick infestation causes a significant threat to human and animal health, requiring effective immunological control methods. This study aimed to investigate the potential of recombinant Haemaphysalis longicornis enolase protein for tick vaccine development. The exact mechanism of the recently identified enolase protein from the H. longicornis Jeju strain remains poorly understood. Enolase plays a crucial role in glycolysis, the metabolic process that converts glucose into energy, and is essential for the motility, adhesion, invasion, growth, and differentiation of ticks. In this study, mice were immunized with recombinant enolase, and polyclonal antibodies were generated. Western blot analysis confirmed the specific recognition of enolase by the antiserum. The effects of immunization on tick feeding and attachment were assessed. Adult ticks attached to the recombinant enolase-immunized mice demonstrated longer attachment time, increased blood-sucking abilities, and lower engorgement weight than the controls. The nymphs and larvae had a reduced attachment rate and low engorgement rate compared to the controls. Mice immunized with recombinant enolase expressed in Escherichia coli displayed 90% efficacy in preventing tick infestation. The glycolytic nature of enolase and its involvement in crucial physiological processes makes it an attractive target for disrupting tick survival and disease transmission. Polyclonal antibodies recognize enolase and significantly reduce attachment rates, tick feeding, and engorgement. Our findings indicate that recombinant enolase may be a valuable vaccine candidate for H. longicornis infection in experimental murine model.

Full textAbstract:
Many PhD candidates bring with them a wealth of knowledge and skills; however, these may not sufficiently prepare candidates to work with high autonomy on a project with often limited interaction with the wider research community. A peer-mentor program model, in which a mentor delivers dyadic and group support to higher degree by research students from different disciplines and backgrounds, has the potential to enhance candidates’ knowledge and skills. However, the mentors themselves can experience significant advantages, as peer-mentoring can also have a positive effect on the mentors’ research experience. In order to further understanding of the potential benefits of peer-mentoring for mentors, three researchers explore their experiences as peer-mentors through an autoethnographic framework. Through discussing their personal experiences as peer-mentors, the researchers identified a range of benefits for themselves. These benefits in-volved finding that peer- mentoring enhanced their own learning, fostered reflective practice, and provided current tertiary teaching and research support experience. Peer mentoring also gave them broad exposure to a breadth of disciplines, theories, and methods; provided project management insights; created opportunities for professional networking; supported their social needs; and gave them invaluable insight into other candidate/supervisor relationships. Their role in a peer-mentor model has shaped their experiences as PhD candidates and also informed their decisions after graduation.

Full textAbstract:
Aim: This study will evaluate the most effective peripheral intravenous catheter securement in paediatric emergency departments to reduce catheter failure, healthcare costs, patient distress, and improve satisfaction. Design: A multisite, three-arm, parallel, superiority, randomized controlled trial of 506 children requiring peripheral intravenous catheter in the emergency department. The trial will be reported following CONSORT guidelines, is registered on the Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry (ACTRN12619001026112) and ethics is approved via Children’s Health Queensland Hospital and Health Service Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC/19/QCHQ/45567). Methods: Staff screen patients, six months to eight years old, requiring peripheral intravenous catheters and inpatient stay of more than 24 hours. Written informed consent is obtained from the legal guardian with 1:1:1 randomization ratio allocation: 1. Standard care: Bordered polyurethane dressing (Tegaderm Advanced®; 3M) 2. Integrated dressing and securement: SorbaView SHIELD® (Centurion Medical Products) 3. Integrated dressing and securement with tissue adhesive: SorbaView SHIELD® (Centurion Medical Products) and Tissue Adhesive Secureport IVTM (Adhezion Biomedical) Primary outcome is peripheral intravenous catheter failure; secondary outcomes are peripheral intravenous catheter complications, pain and distress, healthcare costs, and staff satisfaction or acceptability. Intention-to-treat analysis of timeto-event data will be completed using adjusted Cox regression. Direct costs calculated from the hospital perspective and costeffectiveness analysis will estimate the incremental cost of each treatment option. Discussion: Most hospitalized children require a peripheral intravenous catheter, although persistent high rates of failure are recognized as a patient safety concern. The outcomes of this trial will directly inform clinical care for peripheral intravenous catheter securement in children in emergency departments.

Summary Abstract:Children are exposed to toxic chemicals throughout development and the long-term consequences of this exposure can be profound. Despite decades of research documenting the vulnerability of the developing brain to environmental contaminants, there has been little progress in protecting against developmental neurotoxicity. This symposium will discuss recent research in developmental neurotoxicology using a "developmental origins of health and disease" (DOHaD) framework that examines the context in which environmental contaminants exert their effects. We will examine the timescale for developmental toxicity, windows of vulnerability, and the bases of individual differences in vulnerability, including sex-specific effects of chemical exposures. This symposium will feature new pregnancy and birth cohort studies that have implicated fluoride as a developmental neurotoxin and endocrine disruptor. In addition, we will discuss emerging issues in epidemiology, including how environmental contaminants may interact with non-chemical stressors and have lifelong impacts on cognition and behaviours. This symposium will be capped with a discussion of the public's knowledge, attitudes, and behaviours related to developmental toxicity and strategies to reduce exposure. All speakers will be asked to draw conclusions on research priorities, and discuss how to balance regulators' need for "ideal evidence" with a public health strategy that aims to protect the public from critical environmental hazards. The symposium will consist of the following five presentations, each 12 minutes in length, followed by a 15 minute discussion.1.

Full textAbstract:
<abstract> <p>Phase-type distributions (PHDs), which are defined as the distribution of the lifetime up to the absorption in an absorbent Markov chain, are an appropriate candidate to model the lifetime of any system, since any non-negative probability distribution can be approximated by a PHD with sufficient precision. Despite PHD potential, friendly statistical programs do not have a module implemented in their interfaces to handle PHD. Thus, researchers must consider others statistical software such as R, Matlab or Python that work with the compilation of code chunks and functions. This fact might be an important handicap for those researchers who do not have sufficient knowledge in programming environments. In this paper, a new interactive web application developed with shiny is introduced in order to adjust PHD to an experimental dataset. This open access app does not require any kind of knowledge about programming or major mathematical concepts. Users can easily compare the graphic fit of several PHDs while estimating their parameters and assess the goodness of fit with just several clicks. All these functionalities are exhibited by means of a numerical simulation and modeling the time to live since the diagnostic in primary breast cancer patients.</p> </abstract>

Full textAbstract:
The article deals with the main aspects of training of PhD graduates in the scientific institutions of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine. The authors analyze the regulatory framework for improving the professional competence of scientific personnel of scientific institutions in the system of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine. The national security of Ukraine is an integral part and priority goal of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, which accordingly determines the main factors of stable development of society. Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine has created the conditions for the emergence of a hybrid form of warfare using the information space, which has forced the creation of new approaches to ensuring and maintaining the national security of the state. In this case, an important role is played by weapons and military equipment, which requires constant updating. Therefore, in order to timely take into account and forecast the production of weapons and military equipment, the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine needs graduates of the adjunct program who are able to conduct basic research in the field of defense. The issue of training PhD graduates in the modern conditions of the contemporary educational process should focus on the ability to make decisions in a state of uncertainty. In today's conditions, the future model of education provides for the possibility of choosing a solution that can be modeled as a situation of choosing the best solution from a set of equivalent, random solutions.
 The level of education of a PhD candidate will be higher, the wider the chosen field of activity and field of knowledge, as well as the ability to design solutions in an uncertain situation, which will allow them to have a wider range of possible decision-making methods. Therefore, the introduction of a system of training PhD candidates through adjuncture will create prerequisites for further implementation of measures that will ensure the development of science in the system of higher military education.

Full textAbstract:
Council estates, otherwise known as British social housing estates, have been subject to media scrutiny since their inception, and widespread criticism of social housing remains a prominent feature of British Welfare State discourse. In recent media coverage, for example of the 2011 riots, these spaces remain central to discussions of class, economics, and crime in the UK. This article draws on postcolonial theory to explore contemporary representations of the council estate on the Royal Court stage – with a focus on narratives of ‘authenticity’. Here, two plays, Off the Endz (Agbaje, 2010) and The Westbridge (De-lahay, 2011), are studied to assess how narratives of authenticity work in theatrical representations both to reinforce and to resist popular impressions of council estate spaces. Charlotte Bell is a PhD candidate in the Drama Department at Queen Mary University, where she is currently writing her PhD thesis on the urban social housing estate and the contemporary cultural economy. Katie Beswick is a Research Associate in Applied Theatre at the University of Leeds, where she has recently completed her PhD on the representation of the council estate in theatrical performance practices.

I am a PhD candidate in the ESRC Doctoral Training Partnership at the University of Leicester and my research is focused on how perfectionism and self-compassion affect the health and quality of life of people living with a successful kidney transplant. In March 2020, I was in the process of designing my PhD studies and applying for ethical approval when the pandemic hit, plunging the UK into a national lockdown which Leicester, in particular, did not emerge from for over a year. I have written this article to talk about the changes that this meant I had to make to my research, both in terms of the studies that I planned and the recruitment and data collection methods I employed.My PhD consists of three studies: 1) A validation of a scale of intuitive eating for use with kidney transplant recipients; 2) A systematic review of the psychometric properties of that scale; and 3) A quantitative test of a theoretical model of perfectionism in illness within the context of kidney transplant recipients. The systematic review is the only planned study that was not affected by the pandemic; the other studies required significant changes to ensure they remained feasible.

Open Forum Infectious Diseases 8, Supplement_1 (2021): S79—S80. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/ofid/ofab466.130.
Full textAbstract:
Abstract Background During allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT), the diversity and stability of the GI microbiome is disrupted, increasing the risk of domination by pathogens associated with bacteremia, aGvHD, and mortality. SER-155 is an investigational, oral microbiome therapeutic composed of cultivated spores and vegetative bacterial strains rationally designed to reduce the risk of bacteremia and aGvHD in HSCT recipients by decolonizing potential pathogens and restoring GI colonization resistance. SER-155 was evaluated in vitro for key pharmacological properties associated with colonization resistance, and in vivo to assess its ability to restore colonization resistance by reducing Enterococcus and Enterobacteriaceae carriage. Methods The design of SER-155 leveraged genomic data from interventional and observational human datasets to include taxa associated with reduced risk of infection and aGvHD in HSCT. Strains of interest were phenotyped, and over 50 candidate consortia containing different combinations of over 150 species were designed and tested in vitro and in vivo. In vivo, candidate compositions were evaluated in mouse models of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VRE) and carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRE) colonization. Results Oral administration of SER-155 led to a 2-3 Log10 reduction in VRE and CRE titers compared to untreated mice (Figure 1). In vitro, the carbon source utilization profile of VRE, CRE, and SER-155 strains were assessed using a panel of 85 carbon sources. All 56 carbon sources used by CRE or VRE for anaerobic growth were also utilized by SER-155 strains, supporting a model in which nutrient competition may contribute to reducing CRE and VRE carriage and restoring colonization resistance. Figure 1. SER-155 Efficacy in Mouse Models of VRE and CRE Colonization. The titers of VRE or CRE were quantified in fecal pellets by plating on selective agar at the indicated time-points. The median A) VRE and B) CRE CFU per gram of feces was calculated for each group and plotted on the line graph (n=6-10 per group). L.O.D., limit of detection. Data were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney t-test and significance was determined as a p-value of p&lt; 0.05*, p&lt;0.01**, p&lt;0.001***, p&lt;0.0001****. Conclusion SER-155 is an investigational cultivated microbiome therapeutic intended to reduce the risk of infection by engrafting human-commensal bacterial strains in adults undergoing allogeneic HSCT. Preclinical assessments in vitro and in vivo support the ability of SER-155 to reduce VRE and CRE carriage and restore colonization resistance in the gut. A Phase 1b study evaluating SER-155 in allogeneic HSCT patients is being planned.
