On the Optimization of Clostridioides difficile Diagnostics Through RT-PCR Cycle Threshold Defined Zones of Disease Probability
No full textClostridioides difficile is an opportunistic pathogen with a large burden of disease and no gold standard test. Quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) offers excellent sensitivity but overcalls clinical C. difficile infections (CDI) due to the prevalence of colonization. The hypothesis of this thesis is that the CDI qPCR results can be titrated to determine clinical CDI more accurately and aid in predicting disease severity. A cross-sectional study was conducted on suspected CDI patients evaluating if qPCR cycle threshold (Ct) can be correlated to probability of CDI. Latent class analysis (LCA) was employed with observed variables including four commercial qPCR tests, toxin detection by enzyme immunoassay, toxigenic culture, fecal calprotectin, and clinical diagnosis. Three defined zones as a function of qPCR cycle threshold (Ct) were identified: CDI likely (>90% probability), CDI equivocal (<90% and >10%), CDI unlikely (<10%). A model comprising toxigenic culture, clinical diagnosis, and toxin EIA demonstrated the best fitness. The following Ct cut-offs for 4 commercial test platforms delineated CDI probability zones: GeneXpert®: 24.00, 33.61; Simplexa®: 28.97, 36.85; Elite MGB®: 30.18, 37.43; and BD Max™: 27.60, 34.26. A prospective cohort study was conducted to investigate if these zones can be further correlated to indicators of severe CDI. Primary diagnosis, demographic data and indicators of disease severity were captured: white blood cell, creatinine, albumin, C-reactive protein, and hospital length of stay. A sub analysis was conducted evaluating a subset of the patient population attempting to isolate patients whose clinical variables were most influenced by CDI. No significant correlations were found between the clinical variables investigated and Ct values or Ct zones. This work establishes a method of using deployed diagnostics to allow clinicians to reduce overdiagnosis of CDI. Decreasing false positives could have broad impacts, increase targeted treatments, and decrease antibiotics. The average cost attributed to CDI for one patient is estimated at 929,000 annually with no additional investment in laboratory infrastructure
Progenitors of Type Ia Supernovae
No full textabstract: Type Ia supernovae are important, but mysterious cosmological tools. Their standard brightnesses have enabled cosmologists to measure extreme distances and to discover dark energy. However, the nature of their progenitor mechanisms remains elusive, with many competing models offering only partial clues to their origins. Here, type Ia supernova delay times are explored using analytical models. Combined with a new observation technique, this model places new constraints on the characteristic time delay between the formation of stars and the first type Ia supernovae. This derived delay time (500 million years) implies low-mass companions for single degenerate progenitor scenarios. In the latter portions of this dissertation, two progenitor mechanisms are simulated in detail; white dwarf collisions and mergers. From the first of these simulations, it is evident that white dwarf collisions offer a viable and unique pathway to producing type Ia supernovae. Many of the combinations of masses simulated produce sufficient quantities of 56Ni (up to 0.51 solar masses) to masquerade as normal type Ia supernovae. Other combinations of masses produce 56Ni yields that span the entire range of supernova brightnesses, from the very dim and underluminous, with 0.14 solar masses, to the over-bright and superluminous, with up to 1.71 solar masses. The 56Ni yield in the collision simulations depends non-linearly on total system mass, mass ratio, and impact parameter. Using the same numerical tools as in the collisions examination, white dwarf mergers are studied in detail. Nearly all of the simulations produce merger remnants consisting of a cold, degenerate core surrounded by a hot accretion disk. The properties of these disks have strong implications for various viscosity treatments that have attempted to pin down the accretion times. Some mass combinations produce super-Chandrasekhar cores on shorter time scales than viscosity driven accretion. A handful of simulations also exhibit helium detonations on the surface of the primary that bear a resemblance to helium novae. Finally, some of the preliminary groundwork that has been laid for constructing a new numerical tool is discussed. This new tool advances the merger simulations further than any research group has done before, and has the potential to answer some of the lingering questions that the merger study has uncovered. The results of thermal diffusion tests using this tool have a remarkable correspondence to analytical predictions.Dissertation/ThesisPh.D. Astrophysics 201
Victorian values and the Victorian theatre
No full textI contend that 'morality, respectability, and decorum', were Victorian values trumpeted particularly loudly in Birmingham because of the local dominance of Nonconformism. Nonconformists had materially delayed the granting of a licence to Birmingham's playhouse, and continued actively hostile to its existence. Their influence on the prevailing 'official' moral climate is apparent in the reluctance of the local magistracy to grant music hall licence applications. Theatre managers here, then, laboured under an added imperative to maintain tranquil, well-conducted houses, presenting wholesome fare, and with strong community links.
II
My contention is that the theatre embraced and, occasionally, stimulated technological innovation. I also argue that Birmingham industrialists played a crucial role in materially changing both the functioning and the appearance of playhouses and music halls.
That the revolution in mobility was the overriding factor in the contemporary mushrooming of playhouses and music halls is, I suggest, too apparent to be gainsaid. I focus closely on the transformation of Birmingham's transport links, both externally and within the town, and the readiness of local promoters and managers of theatres to exploit the new opportunities to attract audiences.
III
I suggest that if cultural imperialism operated more subtly than the political brand, imperialism it remained. The relationship with the fledgling United States displayed the classic characteristics of paternalism and condescension, not unmixed with arrogance, on . the part of the metropolitan power, and a general deference, giving way to fits of resentment, pique, and sometimes open rebellion, on the part of the erstwhile colonials. Minstrelsy and the cult of the 'Wild West' represent the beginnings of a reversal of the hitherto one-way cultural traffic, mirroring changes in the transatlantic political balance. I argue that the advent of steam navigation was a key factor in the expanding and vibrant Anglo-American exchange, with Birmingham playing a full role in that exchange
Adaptations of Hamlet in Different Cultural Contexts: Globalisation, Postmodernism, and Altermodernism
No full textAlthough there has traditionally been a resistance to the study of adaptations, adaptation studies as a subsection of 'intertextuality‘ currently has a significant place in academic debates. Hamlet is "the Mona Lisa of literature" (T.S. Eliot), and has been the subject of constant scrutiny, mythologizing and adaptation. Hamlet has been adapted and appropriated into and by various cultural contexts. Even confining our attention to the same medium as Shakespeare‘s text, there exists an array of theatrical adaptations in languages and cultures as diverse as Persian, Korean, Arabic, German, Russian, and Turkish. Borrowing Ludwig Wittgenstein‘s metaphor of 'family resemblance,‘ I argue the usefulness of his idea, enabling us to examine not simply a small number of common properties among adaptations of Hamlet, but rather to explore the 'complicated network of similarities overlapping and criss-crossing‘ (Philosophical Investigations, §66). I further propose subdividing the 'global family‘ of Hamlets from around the world that participate in this/these web-like resemblances into 'local families‘ of adapted Hamlets, to enable better intercultural and cross-cultural studies.
In this thesis I analyse seven theatrical adaptations of Hamlet in Turkish, Russian, Arabic and Persian cultural contexts, from the perspectives of postmodernism, globalisation and altermodernism. I also scrutinise the Persian family of Hamlet in the light of 'intertextuality‘. Given that each adaptation per se brings together 'self‘ and 'other‘ at the same time, I go on to coin two new terms: homointertextuality and heterointertextuality, in order to explore fully the various connections of the adaptations of Hamlet in Iran with the 'cultural self‘ (Persian culture) and the 'cultural other‘ (Anglophone culture)

The regulation of commercial banks in Zambia and their role in development
No full textThis work analyses the regulation of commercial banks in
Zambia and its impact on the role that these institutions are
playing in national development. The background to this
analysis is -the conviction that as these institutions control
enormous amounts of resources, or are capable of doing so, then
they need certain incentives to make them available for
investment. These institutions are not using their own money.
Such incentives or inducements therefore must ensure that those
resources are safely invested. The incentives envisaged include
regulations both of the institutions themselves as well as the
economic system. It is these aspects that this work examines.
The work is divided into six basic chapters. The first
chapter is the introduction which makes the case for a role to
be played by commercial banks in development, under proper
regulation. The second chapter gives a historical origin of
banks in Zambia, including the circumstances of existing
commercial banks. Chapter three deals with the regulations
affecting commercial banking. This is basically an outline of
the various statutes enacted in the country since the colonial
days. Chapter four makes the case for the actual relevance or
need for commercial bank involvement in Zambia's economic
development. It sketches out the historical shortage of
resources in investment. Chapter five deals with the actual
role played by banks in Zambia's development, while chapter six
appraises the effect of the regulations on that performance.
The seventh chapter is a summary of the study and the
conclusions reached. The law is stated as it stood in 1985,
although recent developments and laws known to the author are
included
Restitutio ad integrum : an 'Augustinian' reading of Jeremiah 31:31-34 in dialogue with the Christian tradition
No full textThe struggle to read Jer 31:31-34 as Christian Scripture has a long and divided history. Yet remarkably little has been done to grapple with the depth of this struggle in the Christian tradition from the post-Nicene period to the modern era. This thesis attempts to show the value of the tradition as an interlocutor for contemporary exegetical concerns in Christian readings and use of Jer 31:31-34. The study begins with Augustineâ s interpretation of the text as an absolute contrast between unbelief and faith, rather than the standard reading (found in Jerome) of a contrast between two successive religio-historical eras - one that governed Israel (the â old covenantâ ) and a new era and its covenant inaugurated in the coming of Christ. Augustineâ s absolute contrast loosened the strict temporal concern, so that the faithful of any era were members of the â new covenantâ . The study traces this reading of an absolute contrast in a few key moments of Christian interpretation: Thomas Aquinas and high medieval theology, then the 16th and 17th century Reformed tradition.
The thesis aims at a constructive reading of Jer 31:31-34, and so the struggle identified in these moments in the Christian tradition is brought into dialogue with modern critical discussions from Bernhard Duhm to the present. Finally I turn to an exegetical argument for an â Augustinianâ reading of the contrast of the covenants. The study finds that Jer 31:31-34, read in its role in Jeremiah, contrasts Israelâ s infidelity with a future idyllic faithfulness to Yhwh: in the new covenant all will be as it always ought to have been. The contrast is thus between two mutually exclusive standings before Yhwh. Thus the study aims to contribute to modern exegetical, theological and ecclesial discussions of â oldâ and â newâ covenants by examining one of the central texts of the discussion in dialogue with parts of the history of interpretation
'And I saw that the delicacies were many’: A Commentary on Food and Eating in the Book of Tobit
No full textThe role of food ш its consumption in literature is well recognised in a number of fields, but is just beginning to play a role in the study of ancient Jewish and Christian writings. Although the Book of Tobit contains some three dozen references to food and drink, there has until now been no full-length study of the phenomenon. Most of the time, when food is mentioned in Tobit, it is in connection with the dietary laws, an area along with a few other topics such as fasting, Passover, and commensality that are the primary focus of scholarship of food in Judaism. This dissertation reveals that the role of food in the Book Tobit is much deeper and more complex. Ubiquitous and highly varied, food is essential to the telling of the story. This includes not only its three major meals/celebrations, but a whole range of activities including food preparation, the gift of food to others, and a variety of ways in which food is not consumed. Unlike well-known themes such as endogamy, burial of the dead, and almsgiving that are the mainstays of commentary work on Tobit, food's varied appearance allows it to play a supporting role of the major themes of the unit in which it appears. It is crucial to illustrating Tobit's righteous behaviour in the opening chapter, for instance, just as much as it is critical to evoking the dark, liminal backdrop for Tobiah’s combat with a hungry large fish in chapter 6. In addition to illuminating how food is integral to the story, this study raises broader questions about the composition of Tobit in general as well as the role of food in ancient narrative
