Global climate change – a crucial aspect of development planning
No full textAuthor Amanda J. Harvey examines the effect of global warming on the world. Citing concerns over rising sea levels and storm activity, she requests leaders and planners to work together to develop architecture that will take into account continuous climate change
Glen and Amanda Nelson in the Bookcliff Area
No full textGlen Nelson (aka Lee Sage) and Amanda Noyes Nelson are seen in the Bookcliff area where his father lived for a period of time. Glen\u27s father was the outlaw Pete Nelson (Pete Logan) who ran with the Robbers Roost outlaws. Glen became Lee Sage, author of The Last Rustler in which he writes about growing up as an outlaws. He also wrote the book Gopher Dick. Amanda Noyes and Glen later divorced in 1927. He died February 20, 1972 in Arizona
How parents and children evaluate emollients for childhood eczema: a qualitative study
No full textBackground: eczema affects one in five children in the UK. Regular application of emollients is routinely recommended for children with eczema. There are four main emollient types, but no clear evidence of which is best. The current ‘trial and error’ approach to find suitable emollients can be frustrating for parents, children, and clinicians.Aim: to identify how parents and children experience and evaluate emollients.Design and setting: qualitative interview study, nested within a primary care trial of emollients (Best Emollients for Eczema [BEE] trial).Method: semi-structured interviews with children with eczema and their parents were conducted. Participants were purposively sampled on emollient type (lotion, cream, gel, or ointment), age, and eczema severity.Results: forty-four parents were interviewed, with children participating in 24 of those interviews. There was no clear preference for any one emollient type. The strongest theme was the variation of experience in each of the four types. Participants focused on thickness and absorbency, both positively and negatively, to frame their evaluations. Effectiveness and acceptability were both considered when evaluating an emollient but effectiveness was the primary driver for continued use. For some, participating in the trial had changed their knowledge and behaviour of emollients, resulting in use that was more regular and for a longer duration.Conclusion: there is no one emollient that is suitable for everyone, and parents/children prioritise different aspects of emollients. Future research could evaluate decision aids and/or tester pots of different types, which could enable clinicians and parents/children to work collaboratively to identify the best emollient for them

Mediation Analysis with Survival Outcomes: Accelerated Failure Time Versus Proportional Hazards Models
No full textObjective: Survival time is an important type of outcome variable in treatment research. Currently, limited guidance is available regarding performing mediation analyses with survival outcomes, which generally do not have normally distributed errors, and contain unobserved (censored) events. We present considerations for choosing an approach, using a comparison of semi-parametric proportional hazards (PH) and fully parametric accelerated failure time (AFT) approaches for illustration.Method: We compare PH and AFT models and procedures in their integration into mediation models and review their ability to produce coefficients that estimate causal effects. Using simulation studies modeling Weibull-distributed survival times, we compare statistical properties of mediation analyses incorporating PH and AFT approaches (employing SAS procedures PHREG and LIFEREG, respectively) under varied data conditions, some including censoring. A simulated data set illustrates the findings.Results: AFT models integrate more easily than PH models into mediation models. Furthermore, mediation analyses incorporating LIFEREG produce coefficients that can estimate causal effects, and demonstrate superior statistical properties. Censoring introduces bias in the coefficient estimate representing the treatment effect on outcome – underestimation in LIFEREG, and overestimation in PHREG. With LIFEREG, this bias can be addressed using an alternative estimate obtained from combining other coefficients, whereas this is not possible with PHREG.Conclusions: When Weibull assumptions are not violated, there are compelling advantages to using LIFEREG over PHREG for mediation analyses involving survival-time outcomes. Irrespective of the procedures used, the interpretation of coefficients, effects of censoring on coefficient estimates, and statistical properties should be taken into account when reporting results

No full textSmall GTPases of the Rab family not only regulate target recognition in membrane traffic but also control other cellular functions such as cytoskeletal transport and autophagy. Here we show that Rab26 is specifically associated with clusters of synaptic vesicles in neurites. Overexpression of active but not of GDP-preferring Rab26 enhances vesicle clustering, which is particularly conspicuous for the EGFP-tagged variant, resulting in a massive accumulation of synaptic vesicles in neuronal somata without altering the distribution of other organelles. Both endogenous and induced clusters co-localize with autophagy-related proteins such as Atg16L1, LC3B and Rab33B but not with other organelles. Furthermore, Atg16L1 appears to be a direct effector of Rab26 and binds Rab26 in its GTP-bound form, albeit only with low affinity. We propose that Rab26 selectively directs synaptic and secretory vesicles into preautophagosomal structures, suggesting the presence of a novel pathway for degradation of synaptic vesicles
Thinking outside the box: Extra-parliamentary strategies and their effects on the development of good governance in new democracies
No full textThe literature on transitions and democratization overwhelmingly supports the idea that opposition parties should pursue tactics akin to those used in Westminster and other Western democracies, and those the choice to pursue extra-parliamentary opposition tactics is ultimately anti-democratic. In particular, there is a popular consensus that opposition participation in boycotts prevents the development of democracy. This dissertation takes a critical look at this conjecture, evaluating its plausibility in the first dedicated mixed-methods study of parliamentary and electoral boycotts as extra-parliamentary opposition tactics. I argue that the choice to condemn the use of boycotts takes too narrow a view of the utility of extra-parliamentary tactics in new democracies. I support this claim through the use of case study analysis and dynamic panel data analysis, for which I constructed, using event data, the most extensive dataset on electoral boycotts and the first dataset on legislative boycotts. My findings in both parts show that there is indeed no difference between the likelihood that a country that experiences a boycott and a country which does not will experience good or improved democratic governance, refuting the literature’s current consensus.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'Closed Access', the embargo will last until 2021-05-01The student, Amanda Burke, accepted the attached license on 2019-04-08 at 21:15.The student, Amanda Burke, submitted this Dissertation for approval on 2019-04-08 at 21:24.This Dissertation was approved for publication on 2019-04-10 at 08:52.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #13527 on 2019-08-22 at 16:20:53Made available in DSpace on 2019-08-23T20:44:40Z (GMT).
