Early Indicators of Language Delay in Preterm

▼ Preterm children are at risk for language delays and
deficits. By 2 years, very preterm/low birthweight children tend to
have smaller vocabularies and use less complex grammatical
structures than do their full-term counterparts. Yet, little is
known about whether variations in skills in preverbal stages of
development predict later delays. Reduced vocabularies, however,
suggest that preterm children have difficulty with word-learning,
which depends on receptive language abilities developed early in
life. The present
longitudinal study addresses this premise in two
parts. First, it compares infant sound-structure sensitivities
(i.e., preferences for trochaic versus iambic lexical stress at 4
and 6 months and for high versus low phonotactic probabilities at 6
and 9 months) and toddler word form representations (i.e.,
detection of mispronunciations at 19 months and speed and accuracy
of word recognition at 26 months) in full-term and preterm
English-learning subjects using the video Head-Turn Preference
Procedure (v-HPP) and the Intermodal Preferential Looking Paradigm
(IPLP), respectively. Second, this study explores the predictive
value of sound-structure sensitivities and word form
representations on language outcomes at 14.5 and 26 months using
structural equation modeling (SEM). The effects of gestational age
(GA), cognitive skill (i.e., MVRS Score), and maternal education
(MaEd) on measures of receptive language skills and language
outcomes are also examined using covariance analyses. V-HPP and
IPLP results indicate that, compared to their full-term
counterparts, preterm participants show atypical sound-structure
sensitivities and word form representations. Specifically, preterm
infants have opposite preference patterns for lexical stress and
phonotactic probabilities than full-term infants. Furthermore,
preterm toddlers are not as sensitive to mispronunciations and do
not always use context cues as efficiently during word recognition
tasks as full-term toddlers. Despite these differences in infant
and toddler receptive language abilities, SEM analyses show that
neither sound-structure sensitivities nor word form representations
are linked to language outcomes, even though sound-structure
sensitivities are highly predictive of word form representations.
Lastly, GA and MaEd significantly co-vary with sound-structure
sensitivities, and MVRS Score with language outcomes.

▼ The current study investigated both intraindividual and interindividual change in occupational burnout in a sample of early-career nurses. This research utilizes Conservation of Resources theory in order to understand the trajectory of burnout over time, whether burnout predicts important outcomes for individuals and organizations, and whether burnout can be predicted by personality traits and recovery experiences. Nursing students were surveyed three times during their nursing program and an additional two times after they began their employment. Latent growth models were used to investigate the trajectory of burnout, assess variance in both the initial status and rate of change in burnout, and examine covariances of the rates of change of burnout with health, job attitudes, and recovery experiences. Autoregressive models provided additional information about the direction of relationships between burnout and these variables. Results indicated that average burnout levels declined during nursing school but then began to increase when the nurses entered their careers. Burnout predicted declines in physical health and satisfaction with the occupation, and reciprocal relationships between burnout and mental health were observed. Personality traits were related to the participants' initial burnout levels, and engaging in psychological detachment during time away from work was associated subsequent decline in burnout. Implications, directions for future research, and limitations are discussed.

▼ Global mobility means increasing numbers of individuals are exposed to potentially stressful experiences in their cross-cultural transition. A process of cultural learning is required to overcome differences between host and home culture during sociocultural adaptation. To study this process, this thesis employed a mixed-methods approach examining adaptive trajectory over a six-month educational exchange. The study analysed a unique population of 279 Brazilian high school students from low SES backgrounds arriving in New Zealand. Results from cross-lagged panel models in Study 1 indicated that higher initial ratings of English progress led to subsequent higher levels of interactions with New Zealanders three months after, which then led to higher ratings of language progress at the final time-point. A
longitudinal mediation showed interaction with New Zealanders at the mid-point of the sojourn helped explain increased English ability over time. No
longitudinal relations were observed for culture shock, indicating the influence of language progress and interactions with host culture on culture shock may vary across populations. In Study 2, we used thematic analysis on students’ open-ended interview responses to examine what their experiences in the new culture were. Three themes were identified: opportunities, difficulties, and general feelings. The identified themes supported the findings of Study 1 and highlighted the crucial role of language and social support during the students’ experiences. Combined, the studies partially confirmed previous research with our unique sample of Brazilian students, and placed further emphasis on the need to sample different populations in the study of adaptation.

▼ This thesis work is motivated by the specific
challenges in analyzing data from clinical trials in behavioral
medicine. Specifically, smoking cessation and physical activity
trials. Typically, the data are binary and
longitudinal with an
appreciable amount of missing responses. Here, we propose
methodology to address questions of behavior change, treatment
efficacy and mediation. Although these methods are applied to
behavioral data, they are applicable in other clinical trial
settings as well. The first part of this thesis examines a method
for identifying distinct patterns of behavior change amongst
participants in a smoking cessation trial. A latent class model is
proposed which allows for a degenerate class of responses. A mean
model is used to identify behavior change based on both an initial
intensity and slope function. Further subdivision based on first
order correlation is also proposed. This model finds classes of
responses that are both clinically meaningful and informative. The
second part of the thesis examines the challenges in estimating
treatment efficacy in smoking cessation trials, which are often
subject to non-compliance. The G-computation algorithm is used to
estimate the effect of receiving treatment. This method is first
demonstrated in a hypothetical scenario and later applied to real
data. The G-computation algorithm is a tool that is both
computationally efficient and particularly well-suited to smoking
cessation trials. The third part of the thesis examines methods for
establishing mediation in a clinical trial from behavioral
medicine. A critique of standard regression methods is provided as
well as a summary of key statistical papers. A multiple imputation
approach is used to estimate the descriptive direct effect of
treatment and consequently, the mediated effect of treatment on
outcome. A case study is provided in which this estimator is
applied to data from a physical activity trial with a binary
mediator. Extensions of this method are highlighted as are the
advantages of using a causal method instead of a regression-based
approach.

▼ In the past two decades neuroimaging studies have tried to unveil the neural mechanisms behind age-related changes in cognitive strategies and performance. Structural imaging studies have shown that brain volume changes throughout the complete life-span and functional imaging studies have reported age-related differences in brain activation and connectivity.
The aim of this thesis was to provide an overview of studies that report age-related changes in brain activation as measured with functional MRI in a
longitudinal design in healthy subjects. We found 16 studies of which 11 reported changes in activity over time. The majority of studies was performed in children. fMRI task used varied between attention, language, memory, working memory and sensory processing tasks.
We found increases and decreases in activation in children between 5 and 20 and adults above age 50. A trend of left-hemispheric increases were shown for children around age 8, adults around age 66 and in language studies. Adolescents between ages 10 and 14 seemed to primarily increase activity in regions in the right hemisphere.
We conclude that due to the small number of studies, wide variety of fMRI tasks used across studies and the wide age-range of participants, a meta-analysis is not yet feasible and findings should be interpreted with caution. Furthermore, we suggest that changes in brain volume, performance and BOLD characteristics should be controlled for when studying age-related changes in brain activation using the BOLD signal. Also, we stress the importance of including information about the nature of a
longitudinal activation change and to make a clear distinction whether
longitudinal activation differences refer to changes in BOLD signal between two task conditions or between task and rest activation.

▼ Several studies have compared the outcomes of children with and without language regression; however, no studies to date provide outcome data investigating theearly effect of language regression on adult outcomes. This study compared current adult functioning of individuals who were diagnosed with autism during childhood and reported to have language regression to those without reported language regression.Thirty-year follow-up data for participants with early childhood language regression were available for 118 participants in the follow-up study. Outcome measures included standardized assessments of diagnostic status, cognitive ability, and adaptive behavior.Demographic variables, indicators of independence, social relationships, medical and psychiatric conditions, and social service use were also recorded. Adult outcome results for children with and without language regression suggest that despite language regression occurring in 34% of children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder, this occurrence does not affect later adult outcomes in comparison to those without languageregression. This information is compelling, suggesting that while language regression can be devastating for children with ASD and their families, the potential adult outcomes are similar to those without reported language regression.

▼ AbstractStatistical models for longitudinal analysis of single and mixed species infectionsByKathryn Louise ColbornDoctor of Philosophy in BiostatisticsUniversity of California, BerkeleyProfessor Terence P. Speed, ChairThere are numerous examples of infectious diseases that are caused by various species ofthe same pathogen. Some examples include Lyme disease, malaria, Leishmaniasis, Denguefever, and Ehrlichiosis. The advancement of laboratory methods has facilitated more sensitivedetection of mixed species infections in humans, which has resulted in a surge of research focussingon the eects of mixed infections on clinical outcomes. Cross-sectional blood samplescompared with clinical outcome measures provide a limited scope of the interactions betweenspecies. It is important to study these infections in humans longitudinally, and within their naturalenvironments, in order to develop an understanding of the complex relationships betweenhosts, pathogens and vectors of transmission.Papua New Guinea is a country with high prevalence of both Plasmodium falciparum and P.vivax, two species of parasites that can cause malaria. It is well known that these two parasitescan cause severe morbidity and mortality independently, but there has not been conclusiveevidence of the eect of mixed P. falciparum and P. vivax infections on clinical symptoms.Children under age five are at highest risk of experiencing adverse outcomes from Plasmodiuminfections. In 2006, a cohort study was implemented to conduct an investigation of the eectsof mixed P. falciparum and P. vivax infections on clinical episodes of malaria in children livingin a rural area of Papua New Guinea. The data collected from this study are used throughoutthis dissertation to address both the epidemiological questions of the study investigators and topresent statistical models for analyzing longitudinal malaria data and mixed species infections.

▼ While HR attributions are known to influence firm performance, we still know little about what may influence these perceptions, how HR attributions may change over time, or what factors may moderate these trends. Thus, this study addresses three important, unanswered questions-(1) how do work-related, person-related, and personality factors influence HR attributions, (2) how do HR attributions change over time, and (3) what factors moderate trends in HR attributions over time? Using a
longitudinal design assessing HR attributions of 200 organizational newcomers over a three-month period, this study expands the HR attribution research base by investigating potential predictors of HR attributions, trends in HR attributions over time, and the role that sources of HR information (e.g., frequency, credibility, and ease of access) play in moderating HR attribution change. Findings indicate that various work-related, person-related, and personality factors influence initial HR attributions, and that these attributions vary over time. In addition, there is evidence that frequency, credibility, and ease of accessing sources of HR information may moderate the trends in Legal attributions. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

▼ Why are men more confident than women in science, technology, engineering, and math (i.e., STEM)? Prior research implies that the gap can be explained by women’s under-confidence. However, I examine whether, in addition, men are over-confident. This study used a
longitudinal field experiment to collect confidence surveys from students enrolled in a challenging gateway STEM course for three weeks. The student participants were randomly assigned to receive either a control or self-affirmation intervention, which was expected to mitigate students’ under- or over-confidence. Under- and over-confidence was estimated by determining the discrepancies between students’ reported confidence and level of confidence expected based on their prior performance in relevant courses. Prior performance was obtained from students’ official transcripts. First, I examined average (across all study days) confidence discrepancy scores by gender and condition. Consistent with predictions, in the control condition, women had negative average confidence discrepancies while men had positive average confidence discrepancies. However, contrary to predictions, there were no intervention effects for women’s average discrepancies, and for men, there was one intervention effect such that men in the affirmation condition had larger positive discrepancies than those in the control. Second, I examined confidence discrepancy scores longitudinally by gender and condition. In the control condition, women’s negative discrepancies did not change whereas men’s positive discrepancies increased (became more discrepant) over time. Among women, compared with those in the control, those in the affirmation condition had increased negative discrepancies (became less discrepant over time). Among men, compared with those in the control, those in the affirmation condition had increased positive discrepancies (became more discrepant over time).

▼ Genome-wide Association Studies, popularly known as GWAS, are playing a key role in understanding the genetic patterns of various traits and diseases. Despite the potential importance of GWAS, several limitations of such studies have been recognized in recent years. While most of the genetic traits and diseases are dynamic,
most GWAS consider a single time point phenotypic measurement which results in reduced statistical power and practical usefulness. In this thesis, we have incorporated the functional aspect of the dynamic traits by considering repeated
measurements over
subject-specific time points. For that, we have developed semiparametric
approach for joint modelling of the genotype-specific mean trajectories and the covariance matrix. Since for most of the biomedical experiments, it is of interest at what time point a particular event (death of a patient, for example) occurs, we also develop a framework for joint modelling of the
longitudinal and survival data. Semi-parametric approach for joint modelling of the mean and covariance function for bivariate
longitudinal trait has been proposed here too. All
our proposed approaches have been validated by real data as well as extensive simulation studies.

▼ Research Doctorate - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
In the current context of climate change, weather temperatures and droughts are set to increase in intensity and frequency. It is unclear what the adverse health outcomes might be as a result of this experience. Some research suggests that experiences of drought challenge mental health and wellbeing and there are reports of increases in male suicide rates at that time (Hanigan, Butler, Kokic and Hutchinson 2012). What is not certain is how experiences of drought might affect women’s health and wellbeing. This is a public health thesis that draws together information from science, health, geography, and sociology to explore the lived experience of drought for three generations of Australian women. The project examines these experiences through three different studies. Firstly, a thematic analysis will explore the diversity and breadth of experiences of women in drought. Secondly, a longitudinal analysis will qualitatively explore the experiences of drought over time for Australian women and thirdly, three in-depth narratives, from telephone interviews with women, will illustrate the connections between the themes, by presenting women’s stories in the wider context of their lives. Data from the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women’s Health (ALSWH) is analysed in these three studies to explore women’s experiences of drought. This project is particularly interested in the implications of drought on the ageing and wellbeing of women. Data from three age groups of women is included in the analyses. The younger women were born between 1973-78, the mid-aged women were born between 1946-51 and the older-aged women were born between 1921-26. Three separate studies were conducted in each age group, totalling nine different analyses. The first study conducted a thematic analysis of women’s free-text comments collected by the ALSWH. The aim of this study was to assess drought in the wider context of women’s lives and to examine diversity of experiences. This thematic analysis revealed several important insights. Firstly, there are generational differences in women’s experiences of drought. Secondly, this study revealed the importance of specific events surrounding women and their life in drought, such as raising families, caring for others, and maintaining their health and community involvement. Thirdly, this analysis found that gender was an important aspect of experiences of drought. Many women-specific themes were raised. The second study aimed to uncover the longitudinal impact of living in drought. This chapter visually mapped each cohort’s survey years and free-text comments to reveal common concepts and themes from the women’s free-text comments. Leximancer software was used to assist in analysis. This study found firstly that a longitudinal lens is vital for drought research. Secondly, this study found that ageing needs to be a vital aspect of drought research. Thirdly, mental health is compromised during drought particularly when examined over time. The third study…

▼ The physical and psychological health benefits of marriage have been well-documented in the family and medical sociology literature. Given the recent increases in the prevalence of cohabitation, this research asks whether marriage still confers the same health benefits, and whether cohabitation might do the same. Using two waves of a nationally representative sample, the effects of union type on eleven health outcomes were examined, both cross-sectionally and longitudinally; processual factors such as social support, health behaviors, and socioeconomic status were also examined. Union type was not a consistent predictor of health outcomes: spouses appear somewhat better off than singles, but major differences between cohabitation and marriage were not found. Further, the health benefits of marriage are primarily afforded to men, and the benefits of both union types are more pronounced for younger persons. Social support was a consistent and positive predictor of physical and psychological health, although men may receive greater benefits than women. Health behavior measures were not effective predictors of health outcomes, but this may be due to measurement issues. Socioeconomic status measures were also consistent predictors of physical and psychological health, although an individual’s employment was more often significant than total household income. Additional analyses were conducted to test the “selection hypothesis†– that healthier people are more likely to enter unions. Results are supportive of selective effects for marriage, but not nearly as much so for cohabitation, implying that perhaps different mate selection processes are at work for the two union types. Theoretical, research, and policy implications are discussed.

▼ Abstract
Introduction: Cancer of the cervix is the second most common cancer among women
worldwide and it is the most common cause of cancer deaths among women in developing
countries. Cervical cancer ranks as the second most frequent cancer among women in Ethiopia.
In spite of the high incidence and mortality rate, survival time among cervical cancer patients is
not measured in our country. Thus, this study aimed at providing information on the survival
time among cervical cancer patients and determining factors attributed to it in Black Lion
Hospital, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, 2013.
Objective- This study is aimed to assess a five year survival time and its predictors among
cervical cancer patients in Black Lion Hospital, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, from 2008-2012.
Methods- A retrospective
longitudinal study in the cancer treatment center at Black Lion
Hospital was conducted. All incident cases of cervical cancer (1391) registered during 2008-
2012 in Black Lion Hospital were selected and followed retrospectively for the study of five year
survival. Patient charts were reviewed and telephone interview made to generate survival rates
from February to March, 2013. Survival table was used to estimate the probability values of
survival after diagnosis of cervical cancer at different time intervals. Kaplan Meier survival curve
together with log rank test was fitted to test for the presence of difference in survival among
predictor variables. Cox regression was fitted to find out predictors of survival time. Backward
Stepwise Multiple Cox regression was fitted at 5% level of significance to determine the net
effect of each explanatory variable on time to death after diagnosis of cervical cancer.
Results- Overall survival was 32% at five years and 52% at three years. It is found that there is
a difference in survival experience between categories of stage of cervical cancer, treatment
modalities, age of patients, and place of residence. Being in stage IV cancer AHR 2.974(95%CI
1.303, 6.791), being operated AHR 0.488(95% CI 0.281, 0.848) and receiving palliative
chemotherapy AHR 0.731(95% CI 0.534, 0.937) were predictors of survival time among cervical
cancer patients.
Conclusion-The results of this study show a strong gradient in survival by stage and
treatment, which underlines the key role of early detection and timely treatment of cervical
cancer for reducing mortality.

▼ Background
This thesis investigates the relationship between income and health in New Zealand adults, using
longitudinal data from the household panel Survey of Family, Income and Employment, 2002 to 2005. Evidence for a cross-sectional relationship between income and health is strong, but may be affected by confounding.
Longitudinal data, with repeated measures on the same individuals, can be analysed to control for much of the confounding that biases cross-sectional analyses, giving a more accurate estimate of the causal impact of income on health.
Methods and Results
The outcome used was self-rated health (SRH), a five-level ordinal variable. The primary analytical method used was fixed effects regression modelling, which controls for time-invariant confounders, but applying this method to an ordinal outcome was challenging. Two fixed effects ordinal models were compared. These found that an increase in income of $10,000 increased the odds of better SRH by 0.6% (95% confidence interval -0.3% to 1.5%; ‘hybrid’ proportional odds model) to 0.9% (95% confidence interval -0.4% to 2.3%; amalgamated conditional logistic regression model). Random effects proportional odds models, which did not adequately control for bias from unmeasured time-invariant confounders, gave larger and statistically significant income estimates.
Conclusions
A modest (and statistically insignificant) association of changing income with changing SRH in New Zealand adults was found over the short-term, having controlled rigorously for confounding. The small size of the income estimate was consistent with results from other
longitudinal studies. However, this thesis (and similar research) may have underestimated the putative causal association between income and health due to measurement error in income and changes in income over time. Likewise, SRH, as a general health measure, prone to ceiling effects and measurement error, may not be an ideal repeated measures outcome. Changes in SRH over time occur in response to changes in both mental and physical health and short term income changes may have different effects on mental and physical health outcomes. Long term income rather than short term income changes may be more relevant for health and time lags longer than one year between changes in income and effects on health were not accounted for.

▼ This thesis presents three empirical studies examining the relations between religious sentiment and psychological outcomes over the course of adolescence. Although there are numerous theories of religious development, and many studies have found positive relations between religious sentiment and psychological outcomes, comparatively little research has focused on the adolescent years, especially longitudinally. This is surprising, given that adolescence is the period of the lifespan where the most significant changes to religious sentiment occur. The sample consisted of approximately 2000 high school students participating in the Australian Character Study (ACS) over a four-year period.
Study 1 focused on obtaining an understanding of the ways in which belief in God was related to psychological functioning at time 1 (grade 8). Three groups (mean age = 13.92 years; 946 males, 979 females) were compared according to belief in God (believer, agnostic, atheists), on positive, social, and negative outcomes, using a profile analysis. On almost all outcomes, believers were found to have improved psychological functioning compared to agnostics, who in turn, tended to outscore atheists. The profile analysis also revealed that groups had distinctive psychological profiles, with believers’ profiles distinguished by elevated subjective well-being and parental support; and atheists’ by low affective empathy and high antisocial behaviour. The findings of this study provided the basis for the questions explored in studies 2 and 3.
Study 2 further explored relations between belief in God and outcomes examined in study 1, by repeating analyses for the proceeding 3 years. Results indicated that the three groups’ profiles remained distinctive over time, but that grade 11 profiles significantly diverged from previous years for all 3 groups. Differences between the groups also widened by grade 11, with believers’ functioning found to improve over time, and atheists having more impaired functioning over time. Unlike study 1 however, all differences between groups in grades 10 and 11 were removed after controlling for parental support. This indicates that improved functioning amongst older religious adolescents is likely related to parental support.
Study 3 adopted a growth mixture model approach to identify individual differences in trajectories of religious values from grade 8 to grade 11. Overall religiousness was found to decline, and 4 unique trajectories of religious values were identified: High (steep decline), Average, Low (average decline), and Low (stable). Relative to the Average class, increased parental support in grade 8 predicted an increased likelihood of having high religious values with a sharp decline and a reduced likelihood of being in the classes with religious values below the average: Low (average decline) and Low (stable). Members of the High and Average classes were found to be more likely to have improved well-being in grade 11. These findings are suggestive of the need to account for…

▼ Longitudinal data, where data are repeatedly observed or measured on a temporal basis of time or age provides the foundation of the analysis of processes which evolve over time, and these can be referred to as growth or trajectory models. One of the traditional ways of looking at growth models is to employ either linear or polynomial functional forms to model trajectory shape, and account for variation around an overall mean trend with the inclusion of random eects or individual variation on the functional shape parameters. The identification of distinct subgroups or sub-classes (latent classes) within these trajectory models which are not based on some pre-existing individual classification provides an important methodology with substantive implications. The identification of subgroups or classes has a wide application in the medical arena where responder/non-responder identification based on distinctly diering trajectories delivers further information for clinical processes. This thesis develops Bayesian statistical models and techniques for the identification of subgroups in the analysis of longitudinal data where the number of time intervals is limited. These models are then applied to a single case study which investigates the neuropsychological cognition for early stage breast cancer patients undergoing adjuvant chemotherapy treatment from the Cognition in Breast Cancer Study undertaken by the Wesley Research Institute of Brisbane, Queensland. Alternative formulations to the linear or polynomial approach are taken which use piecewise linear models with a single turning point, change-point or knot at a known time point and latent basis models for the non-linear trajectories found for the verbal memory domain of cognitive function before and after chemotherapy treatment. Hierarchical Bayesian random eects models are used as a starting point for the latent class modelling process and are extended with the incorporation of covariates in the trajectory profiles and as predictors of class membership. The Bayesian latent basis models enable the degree of recovery post-chemotherapy to be estimated for short and long-term followup occasions, and the distinct class trajectories assist in the identification of breast cancer patients who maybe at risk of long-term verbal memory impairment.

▼ The present research aimed to examine relations between parent reminiscing and later attachment. It was expected that parent reminiscing in early childhood be related to later attachment, even after accounting for continuities both in attachment and in parent-child reminiscing. Evidence was collected from a New Zealand
longitudinal study of childhood development. The fifty-eight mothers and their now 16-year-old adolescents have been involved in this research since the children were toddlers. Previous research on this sample has collected attachment status at 19 months using the Attachment Q-Set (AQS) and reminiscing style at multiple timepoints between 19 - 40 months. The present timepoint examined attachment status at 16 years using the Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment (IPPA), and reminiscing with mothers at 12 years using positive and negative event conversations. Children’s early attachment status (at 19 months) was related to reminiscing in early childhood, but was not related to reminiscing at age 12, and was not significantly correlated to attachment at age 16. Children whose mothers used a more elaborative reminiscing style (maternal yes/no elaborations and statement elaborations) in early childhood developed greater peer and parent alienation and less peer trust. This relationship between reminiscing and attachment was also found at age 12. In particular, high maternal monologuing (mothers who talk more in each conversational turn) in early childhood and at age 12 was related to less secure attachment in adolescents. These findings support the hypothesis that there are optimal ways of reminiscing with young children and with adolescents.

▼ Entrepreneurship research heavily populates many of the leading business and management journals of contemporary times. It´s expansive utility however is not bound by any one particular area, evidenced by the prominence of coverage in a wide-array of multi-disciplinary domains spanning from psychology and sociology to medicine and politics. Attention is fueled by a commonly held belief that multi-faceted complex issues such as, market, economic and social dynamism can all be addressed through individuals both thinking and acting entrepreneurially. It is by means of entrepreneurship that plausible and effective solutions can be uncovered towards economic necessities whilst concomitantly at a broader level developing societies, instigating social change and combating poverty. The entrepreneurship process is considered to begin upon the articulation of an intention. As such, entrepreneurial intentions (EI), as a cognitive construct imparting attention towards, and prediction of, engagement in future behaviours based upon individually held beliefs and desires, represent an important pre-condition that can act as a catalyst to the emergence, or lack thereof, of entrepreneurial behaviour. The area is one that is coming under increasing pressure to prove its worth beyond parsimonious causative models that can predict a portion of variance but concomitantly leave large amounts unaccounted for, largely due to its failure to take into consideration the true dynamism of open systems. To abridge this shortcoming, the aim of the current thesis is to increase and progress our understanding of EI embedded within a processual perspective taking time as a key variable. The key research question that follows is: How (and if) do EIs change over time? Answer to this is achieved through the presentation of three inter-related scientific research articles through a mixed-method approach, namely, a conceptual contribution systematically analysing the current state-of-art in EI scholarship (Paper 1), a qualitative case study investigating intentional transitions throughout the entrepreneurial process (Paper 2), and finally a quantitative investigation tracking changes in intentional stability longitudinally over time (Paper 3).

▼ Although it requires time to develop and emerge as leaders, there is a shortage of longitudinal research on these topics. Across two essays, this dissertation aims to address this gap in the literature. Essay 1 examines the nature and degree of leader self-view development during formal leadership training. Drawing upon theories of leader development, it is suggested that as individuals acquire new leadership skills and knowledge, their leader efficacy and identity will develop. Testing competing predictions between developmental readiness (i.e., openness to change) and developmental necessity (i.e., room to change) perspectives, Essay 1 further examines whether learning goal orientation and motivation to lead predict how much and in what ways trainees developed in their leader self-views. Cadets (N = 240) participating in a leadership development course self-reported their leader self-views throughout the program. Using latent growth models, results provide evidence that individuals’ leader efficacy and identity developed–although differently–during leadership training. Moreover, results highlight the need to consider the developmental necessity perspective when allocating leadership development opportunities. Essay 2 examines the dynamic co-occurrence of leadership and trust over time. Drawing upon social exchange theory and models of social entrainment, it is suggested that trust can facilitate the emergence of informal leadership and informal leadership can facilitate the development of trust over time. Cadets (N = 123) participating in a leadership development course provided peer ratings of trust and leadership over time. Using stochastic actor-oriented models, results provide support that, over time, individuals initially perceived as trustworthy emerge as leaders and individuals initially perceived as leaders are trusted. Moreover, being trusting of others can facilitate one’s own leadership emergence over time. Overall, results across these two essays shed light on the longitudinal processes that affect how leaders develop and emerge.

▼ Background: Most commonly used statistical methods assume that the data consist of independent observations. Clustered data occur in many settings, such as
longitudinal studies, where outcomes are repeatedly measured over time on each
subject. Observations from the same
subject are dependent and hence form a cluster. Two commonly used methods of analysis for clustered data are mixed models and generalised estimating equations (GEEs). Additional complexity arises when analysing clustered data where the cluster size is informative; that is, where the cluster size is related to the outcome. Most methods of analysis for clustered data, including mixed models and GEEs, generally assume non informative cluster size and hence may not be suitable when the cluster size is informative. Aim: The aim of this thesis is to compare methods for analysing
longitudinal data when the cluster size (length of follow up) is informative. Methods: Both real and simulated data were used to compare methods for analysing clustered data with informative cluster size. A range of methods were considered including: GEEs with independent, autoregressive or exchangeable working correlation structures; cluster weighted GEEs; and mixed models. The real data come from a perinatal trial (the POPPET trial), which investigated the effect of high versus standard protein content human milk fortifier on the growth of 60 preterm infants. This dataset was used to investigate different methods of analysis for estimating the effect of treatment on infant growth when informative cluster size was suspected. As real data cannot be used to show which methods of analysis are performing best in general, a simulation study was conducted to compare methods when the true parameter values were known. The data were simulated based on the POPPET trial. Different treatment effects, sample sizes, and correlations between the cluster size and the outcomes were considered. Results: For the POPPET trial, evidence of informative cluster size was found. Different methods of analysis produced quite different parameter estimates but similar conclusions about the effect of the intervention. The simulation results showed that when cluster size was non informative, all methods performed very well. When cluster size was informative, mixed models and autoregressive GEEs always performed well. However, the independence, exchangeable and cluster weighted GEEs often produced low coverage probabilities and model based standard errors that differed from the standard deviation of the parameter estimates. These methods generally performed better when the trial size was larger and when there was no correlation between individual growth trajectories and cluster size. Conclusions: It is recommended that mixed models or autoregressive GEEs be used to analyse
longitudinal data with informative cluster size in general, including the POPPET trial data. Independence, exchangeable and cluster weighted GEEs should only be used when the sample size is large and there is no correlation between individual…

▼ A growing body of research has examined emergent
leadership within groups. Emergent leadership is defined as a
process during which some individuals, over time and through social
interaction, are recognized and accepted as leaders by the group.
Interestingly, although there is much theorizing about how
leadership emerges and about the individual characteristics
facilitating the emergence of leaders, there is still very little
about knowledge about this particular dynamic social process, and
this is especially true if we expand our view of leadership beyond
the leader-follower dyad. To refine our understanding of leadership
emergence, I built my investigations on previous research on
Distributed Leadership which recommends the use of social network
analysis to study how leadership may be shared among several
individuals. By envisioning leadership as a network of perceptions,
where nodes and ties represent actors and leadership nominations
respectively, a complex and multi-level representation of
leadership is gathered. While social network analysis has been
successfully applied to study distributed leadership using a
cross-sectional approach, leadership emergence occurs over time and
an analysis of this phenomenon would benefit from the use of a
longitudinal perspective. I therefore collected leadership networks
over several periods of time and used SIENA, a novel multilevel
statistical procedure for
longitudinal analysis of social networks,
to examine, through three manuscripts, (i) How emergent leaders are
the result of group processes?, (ii) Do emergent leaders perceive
themselves as leaders? and (iii) Are emergent leaders emotionally
intelligence?

▼ Cette recherche s'intéresse à l'histoire d'une cohorte
de jeunes élèves avec l'école, le métier d'élève et le savoir dans
une double perspective psychanalytique et sociologique et elle
s'inscrit dans la théorie du sujet de Mendel. Elle conçoit l'entrée
à l'école comme une confrontation aux expériences de séparation
et/ou aux expériences énigmatiques à l'origine de la curiosité
sexuelle infantile vécues dans la petite enfance. Cette
reviviscence est source d'angoisse contre laquelle l'élève lutte au
moyen des archisavoirs qu'il a acquis antérieurement, largement
déterminés par la vie fantasmatique, la socialisation
identificatoire et l'appropriation d'habitus autour de la Culture.
Elle pense que les premiers pas à l'école enfantine puis à l'école
primaire peuvent être à l'origine d'un jeu semblable au jeu de la
bobine du petit fils de Freud. Tout jeu a deux niveaux de lecture :
le niveau fantasmatique d'un sujet qui projette sur le réel la
maison familiale sous la poussée des forces pulsionnelles et le
niveau intermédiaire d'un acteur susceptible de construire un
actepouvoir, une perception du réel tel qu'il est et de soi en tant
qu'auteur créateur de savoirs sous la poussée du vouloir de
création. A la suite de l'exploration des travaux des équipes de
Beillerot et de Charlot sur le rapport au savoir, il est possible
de synthétiser leurs différents apports par la formalisation de
deux postures d'être apprenant : l'une héritée en lien à une figure
d'apprenti sage, d'héritier en conformité à ses appartenances et
d'un exécutant; l'autre jouée en lien à une figure d'apprenti sage
et d'apprends tissage, d'héritier en conformité à ses appartenances
et d'héritier "déviant" et d'un autodidacte. Cette recherche
recueille des informations auprès des élèves, de leurs parents et
de leurs enseignants sur deux ans en utilisant des entretiens
semi-structurés et des questionnaires. Elle montre que les élèves
entrent à l'école et qu'ils objectivent des savoirs sur leur métier
et sur l'apprendre en s'appuyant sur une posture d'être apprenant
héritée. Or certains héritiers au sens de Bourdieu n'objectivent
jamais de savoirs clairvoyants précocement ou avec retard. Le
rapport à l'école des parents de nombreux élèves en légères
difficultés renforce la perception de l'école comme une grande
famille, une relation de dépendance à l'autorité et l'affectivité
du rapport au savoir sous la domination de la peur d'être abandonné
et la peur de faire mal, le désir d'être puissant et le désir de
faire plaisir aux parents et à l'enseignante. Il existe une
minorité d'élèves qui vivent rapidement une continuité d'être entre
l'école et la maison et qui objectivent des savoirs sur le métier
d'élève et l'apprendre en avance. Par exemple, dès l'entrée à
l'école primaire ils savent le métier de faire et le métier de
savoir de l'élève, ils se sentent légèrement inquiets en raison de
l'incertitude de l'issue de l'acte de travail. Ils tendent ainsi à
construire une posture d'être apprenant jouée en bénéficiant d'un
appui parental confiant et d'un surmoi ni…

▼ In 1998, 12 students, aged 11-12 years, were identified by primary schools in a socially disadvantaged area of New Zealand as being at risk of negative life outcomes, as a consequence of known adversities in their lives. The students were interviewed, as were their parents and teachers, and they also completed learning assessments and measures of personal and social concerns. The purpose of these evaluations was to identify risk and protective factors in the young people’s lives, and to make estimations of personal resilience. In 2008, nine of the original study participants, who were now aged 21-22 years and in emerging adulthood, were located and were interviewed again. The assessments addressed the participant’s current circumstances, and what had happened for them over the last ten years. The interviews also asked the participants to reflect about 12 resilience dimensions that have been identified in the literature (Masten & Coatsworth, 1998) and whether they considered that they were personally resilient. The recent interview data were analysed using interpretative phenomenological analysis (Smith & Osborn, 2008). The individual analyses show a rich diversity of life paths and, as well, three sets of themes were identified across the case studies; and they are personal relationships, contexts of development (schooling and education, culture, religion, and jobs and careers), and personhood and identity. A resilience model was derived from the integration of the data from the first and second assessments with contemporary resilience studies and theorising. The central idea of the model is that resilient functioning is determined by the nature and quality of relationships within, and across, developmental settings. As a corollary, it is hypothesised that interpersonal relationships influence individual executive functioning, and emotional regulation in particular; and that these cognitive and affective capacities can translate into goal seeking and other constructive actions. The explanation of the resilience model leads onto recommendations for further research on relationships that enhance personal functioning. There are also suggestions for social policy that follow from the exposition, and some guidelines for professional practice with children and families.

▼ The spectral analysis of coherent Smith-Purcell radiation (cSPr) is a promising new longitudinal diagnostic technique. This thesis presents a conceptual design for a single-shot, non-destructive, coherent Smith-Purcell radiation monitor and investigates the challenges of realising this type of diagnostic. It is proposed to use the polarization of coherent Smith Purcell radiation in order to distinguish it from background radiation. A series of experimental studies are carried out at the 8MeV electron accelerator LUCX (KEK, Japan) in order to measure the polarization of cSPr. An experimental setup is developed for measuring the frequency and polarization of low intensity THz frequency signals in accelerator environments. The frequency measurements are made with a Fabry-Perot interferometer, using wire grid polarizers as beamsplitters. The operation of this interferometer is shown to be comparable to classic interferometer designs. The results show cSPr to be highly polarized and easily distinguishable from unpolarized background radiation. Suggestions are made to improve the experimental setup in order to obtain more detailed measurements in the future. An investigation into the number and distribution of detection channels required in the cSPr monitor is also carried out. This demonstrates that significant savings in space and cost can be made by optimising the design for specific accelerator environments.

▼ "Longitudinal studies, where data is collected by measuring the same experimental units several times over a relatively long period, are becoming increasingly common. Conventional statistical approaches have limitations when applied to the analysis of longitudinal data ... Practical limitations of longitudinal analysis that relate to missing data and large data set sizes were explored in this thesis with the application of a sampling technique known as Ranked Set Sampling (RSS). We developed this sampling method, which has not previously been applied to longitudinal data, for fixed and mixed-effects models. This thesis also illustrated inference techniques to estimate these models after selecting sample units by RSS."

▼ This thesis is about estimation bias of
longitudinal data when there is correlation between
the explanatory variable and the individual effect. In our study, we firstly introduce what is
longitudinal data, then we introduce the commonly used estimation methods for the general
linear model: the least squares method and maximum likelihood method. We apply these
estimation methods to three simple general models which are commonly used to analyse
longitudinal data. Secondly, we use frequentist and Bayesian analysis to explore the estimation
bias theoretically and empirically, with an emphasis on the heterogeneity bias. This
bias occurs where random effect estimation is used to analyse data with nonzero correlation
between explanatory variables and the individual effect. We then empirically compare the
estimated value with the true value. In this way, we demonstrate and verify the theoretical
formulation which can be used to determine the size of the bias [Mundlak, 1978]. In
order to avoid the estimation bias, the fixed effect estimation should be used to get the better
solution under nonzero correlation situation. The Hausman test is used to confirm this.
However, the bias not only occurs when we use frequentist analysis, but also exist by using
the Bayesian estimation of random effect model. Finally, we follow the Mundlak [1978]
idea, then define the special Bayesian model which can be used as Hausman test and as a
comparable model. We also prove that it is best fit model among the random effect, fixed
effect and pooled model if there is correlation between explanatory variables and individual
effect. Throughout this thesis, we illustrate this ideas using examples based on real and
simulated data.

▼ Alcohol use disorders ("AUDs") have a high prevalence rate, are heterogeneous, and are associated with deficits in executive abilities, learning, and memory. The literature on adolescent AUD and adult cognitive functioning is limited, and no prospective study has simultaneously examined how an AUD-onset during a neurologically-vulnerable period, persistence of use in adulthood, and an interaction of these processes may attenuate or exacerbate cognitive issues. This study used two AUD subtypes commonly employed to characterize the heterogeneity in AUD presentation - the adolescent-onset and persistent subtype - to address these questions, and also relied on measures of behavioral disinhibition and intellectual functioning ascertained during childhood to address the concern that the relationship between AUDs and later-cognitive functioning may be subject to confounding. It was hypothesized that premorbid childhood risk factors would relate to both AUD subtype and adult cognition, that both an adolescent-onset and a persistent course of AUD would relate to cognitive deficits in adulthood, and that accounting for premorbid risk factors would attenuate this relationship. A community sample of 650 men born in Minnesota was assessed at six visits occurring between age 11 and age 29 and divided into AUD groups of adolescent-onset persisters and desisters, adult-onset persisters and desisters, and controls. Both AUD-membership and age 29 cognitive performance were associated with risk factors that preceded AUD-onset; when accounting for premorbid risk, there was scant evidence that AUDs were associated with cognitive deficits. Future research of AUDs and cognition should account for premorbid risk factors.

▼ A common goal in medical research is to determine the effect that a treatment has on subjects over time. Unfortunately, the analysis of data from such clinical trials often omits several aspects of the study design, leading to incorrect or misleading conclusions. In this paper, a major objective is to show via case studies that randomized controlled trials with
longitudinal designs must account for correlation and clustering among observations in order to make proper statistical inference. Further, the effects of outliers in a multi-center, randomized controlled trial with multiple layers of clustering are examined and strategies for detecting and dealing with outlying observations and clusters are discussed.
