▼ Equity in educational outcomes, particularly reading, is an important policy issue in countries around the world. This dissertation used data from PIRLS 2006 to explore an approach to measuring equity in reading achievement internationally at the fourth grade. Relative risk ratios were selected as a measurement approach and were used to create a composite measure, the Relative Risk-Percentage (RRP) Equity Index, to compare equity in reading achievement across countries. This index was used to present the likelihood of scoring below the PIRLS 2006 Low International Benchmark for student groups that were traditionally at risk for low reading achievement compared to other students. The `at risk' student groups that were the focus of this study included those with low parental education, who spoke a language other than the language of instruction, who attended urban or rural schools, and who were boys. To complement the RRP Equity Index results, the relative likelihood of students scoring within the lower 20 percent of their country's reading achievement distribution was also presented. The results of these analyses showed that students with these characteristics were more likely than other fourth grade students to have low reading achievement in a number of the PIRLS 2006 countries. Overall, having parents with less than secondary education and not speaking the language of the test before starting school were associated with inequity in reading achievement in the largest number of PIRLS 2006 countries. As an example of how individual countries could further explore potential reasons for inequities in reading achievement highlighted by the RRP Equity Index, logistic regression models were built for Germany, Iran, and Romania. These models explored the extent to which statistically controlling for differences in resources could diminish the effect of being in an `at risk' group on reading achievement. In all three countries examined, resources explained a substantial proportion of the risk for low reading achievement. Though the logistic regression model results were country-specific, lacking books in the home was strongly associated with lower reading achievement in all three countries.

Le risque attribuable est un outil épidémiologique apparu dans les années 1950 aujourd’hui encore assez peu utilisé. Il permet d’estimer la proportion de cas d’une maladie potentiellement évitable par suppression ou réduction de l’exposition d’une population à un facteur de risque. Son principal intérêt réside dans la prise en compte concomitante de l’ampleur d’effet du facteur de risque et de la distribution de ce facteur au sein de la population. Après une présentation des caractéristiques essentielles du risque attribuable et des principes de son estimation à partir d’une étude cas-témoins, nous proposons un cadre conceptuel qui permet d’estimer l’impact d’une intervention de santé publique dans une nouvelle population dont l’exposition à certains facteurs de risque diffère de celle observée dans la population d’étude. Une décomposition du risque attribuable permet alors de prendre en compte l’action combinée, ou synergie, des facteurs de risque dans la survenue de la maladie. Parce qu’il donne une dimension populationnelle à l’estimation de l’effet d’une variable, le risque attribuable est particulièrement intéressant pour quantifier l’importance relative des différentes variables explicatives d’un modèle de régression. La question de l’importance relative des biomarqueurs classiques et de ceux issus des technologies à haut débit dans les modèles diagnostiques est actuellement centrale pour établir les apports respectifs de ces deux niveaux d’information. À partir de simulations, nous montrons comment l’apport des nouvelles technologies, quantifié en termes de risque attribuable, peut être faussé par l’utilisation de méthodologies inadaptées

The attributable risk is an epidemiologic tool that dates back to the fifties but is still relatively seldom used. It estimates the proportion of cases of a given disease that could be avoided if the exposure to a specific risk factor was removed or reduced. Its major interest is that it combines the magnitude of the effect of the risk factor to the distribution of this factor within the population. After a review of the attributable risk main features and the principles of its estimation from case-control studies data, we propose a conceptual framework that allows estimating the impact of a public health intervention in a new population with different exposure to certain risk factors than those observed in the study population. To reach this goal, we used a splitting of the attributable risk that takes into account the combined action –or synergy– of the risk factors on the occurrence of the disease. Because the attributable risk allows estimating the effect of a variable at the population level, it is particularly interesting to quantify the relative importance of the covariates of a regression model. In diagnostic models, the estimation of the relative importance of classic biomarkers and biomarkers obtained from high-throughput technologies is currently crucial in establishing the contribution of each of these two levels of information. Using simulations we have…

▼ Patients suffering from either the severe mental disorder bipolar disorder (BD) or schizophrenia (SCZ) show resemblance in cognitive impairments, genetic etiology and structural brain abnormalities. Mapping the structural brain abnormalities in first-degree relatives of BD and SCZ patients can be valuable in order to elucidate the causes of brain abnormalities observed in the patients themselves. The first aim of this thesis is to provide an overview of brain volume abnormalities found in first-degree relatives of BD and SCZ patients. It will also be studied whether there are differences in structural brain abnormalities between siblings, parents, co-twins and offspring of either BD or SCZ probands. Furthermore, the differences in brain volume abnormalities of first-degree relatives of BD patients and first-degree relatives of SCZ patients will be studied. Thirty-two studies investigating structural brain abnormalities in first-degree relatives of BD patients, and three reviews and two meta-analyses investigating structural brain abnormalities in first-degree relatives of SCZ were examined here. From the overview that arose from these articles a list is made of brain regions that were in more than one study found to have an abnormal volume in first-degree relatives compared to healthy controls. It appeared that in first-degree relatives of BD patients there is little consistency in the findings of these studies, with the exception of a rather consistent reported decrease in prefrontal cortex volume. Differences in structural brain abnormalities between siblings, parents, co-twins and offspring of BD probands could not be identified. Decreased hippocampus and prefrontal cortex volumes and increased third ventricle volumes have been consistently reported in all sub-groups of first-degree relatives of SCZ patients. Parents of SCZ patients are also likely to have decreased insula volumes. Although not all results are consistently found, it can be stated that there are more structural abnormalities in the first-degree relatives of SCZ patients than in those of BD patients. Because of the large amount of research already conducted in first-degree relatives of SCZ patients resulting in rather consistent findings for these subjects, in the future it might be valuable to increase the amount of research conducted on structural brain abnormalities in first-degree relatives of BD patients in order to achieve more consistent results in these subjects.

▼ Background: Binary outcomes have traditionally been analysed using logistic regression which estimates odds ratios. A popular alternative is to estimate relative risks using log binomial regression. Due to convergence problems with this model, alternative methods have been proposed for estimating relative risks. Comparisons between methods are limited and guidance on which method(s) should be used in practice is lacking. These methods are often applied to clustered data, despite the absence of evidence supporting their use in this setting. Comparison of methods in the clustered data setting via simulation is difficult. The simulation model requires specification of the random effects variance on the log scale, but the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) on the probability scale is the preferred measure of dependence. The relationship between the ICC and the random effects variance has been defined under the logistic model but not the log binomial model. The appropriate method for analysing binary outcomes from perinatal trials which include infants from multiple births is a matter of debate, and relative risks have received little attention in this context. Aim: To investigate statistical issues associated with the analysis of binary outcomes in randomised controlled trials (RCTs) when the effect measure of interest is the relative risk. Specifically, the aims are: • To compare the performance of methods for estimating relative risks in RCTs with independent and clustered observations; • To determine the relationship between the ICC on the probability scale and the between cluster variance on the log scale; • To provide guidance on the analysis of binary outcomes from perinatal trials including infants from multiple births. Methods: Simulation studies are conducted to compare methods for estimating relative risks using independent and clustered data. To determine the ICC in the latter scenario, the relationship between the ICC on the probability scale and the random effects variance on the log scale is derived. Additional simulation studies are conducted to determine how different analytical methods compare in perinatal trials with multiple births. Example datasets are analysed for illustration. Results: Some methods for estimating relative risks are associated with large bias and poor coverage. Others fail to overcome the convergence problems of log binomial regression. Several methods perform well across a wide range of independent and clustered data settings, including modified Poisson regression. When simulating clustered data, the ICC can be determined from the random effects variance on the log scale based on a Taylor series expansion or properties of the lognormal distribution. Failure to account for clustering in perinatal trials including multiple births leads to inflated type I errors and undercoverage, unless both the ICC and the multiple birth rate are low. Conclusion: Relative risks are a useful measure of effect for binary outcomes. Difficulties in estimating relative risks due to convergence… Advisors/Committee Members: Ryan, Philip (advisor), Salter, Amy Beatrix (advisor), School of Population Health and Clinical Practice (school).

Neste estudo, baseado na análise de séries temporais para um período de 8 anos, correlacionou-se os casos de dengue com as variáveis climáticas das cidades da Baixada Santista (sudeste brasileiro) e de Cingapura (sudeste asiático). O estudo foi feito com o uso de um modelo de regressão de Poisson (MRP), que considera os casos de dengue como a variável dependente e as variáveis climáticas: precipitação, temperatura (máxima e mínima) e umidade relativa (máxima e mínima) como as variáveis independentes. Também foi utilizada a Análise de Componentes Principais (ACP) para escolher as variáveis que influenciam no aumento do número de casos de dengue nas cidades estudadas. A CP1 (componente principal 1) foi representada pelas temperaturas (máxima e mínima) e a precipitação e a CP2 (componente principal 2) pela umidade relativa (máxima e mínima). Calculou-se o acréscimo dos novos casos de dengue e o risco relativo de ocorrência da doença por influência de cada uma das variáveis climáticas. Na Baixada Santista, os maiores valores de precipitação e temperatura ocorrem nos meses de dezembro e janeiro (verão) e o aumento dos casos de dengue ocorre nos meses de março a maio (outono). Para Cingapura, a diminuição da precipitação e o aumento da temperatura ocorrem nos meses de março a maio (pré-monção de sudoeste), e, portanto, observa-se o aumento dos casos de dengue nos meses de junho a outubro (monção de sudoeste). Os resultados foram: em Cingapura, para 2 °C a 10 °C de variação na temperatura (máxima e mínima), houve um aumento médio dos casos de dengue de 22,2% a 184,6% (máxima) e de 26,1% a 230,3% (mínima). O risco relativo médio foi de 1,2% a 2,9% e de 1,3% a 3,3%, respectivamente. Para precipitação, a variação de 5mm a 55mm, houve o aumento dos casos de dengue de 5,6% a 83,2%, sendo e o risco relativo médio foi de 1,06% a 1,83%. A umidade relativa após a análise de correlação foi descartada no uso do modelo de regressão de Poisson por apresentar uma correlação muito baixa. Para a Baixada Santista, a variação da temperatura de 2 °C a 10 °C apresentou um acréscimo médio nos casos de dengue de 19,6% a 154,4% (máxima) e de 18,2% a 145,4% (mínima). O risco relativo médio foi de 1,20% a 2,54% e de 1,18% a 2,45%, respectivamente. A variação da precipitação de 5mm a 55mm apresentou um aumento dos casos de dengue de 3,92% a 53,10%. A umidade relativa mínima variando de 2% a 10%, o acréscimo dos casos de dengue foi 7,7% a 49,4%, sendo que o risco relativo foi de 1,08% a 1,49%. Assim, após várias análises, a temperatura mínima foi um dos preditores para ocorrência do aumento dos casos de dengue em Cingapura, sendo que há uma influência bem particular da precipitação, na qual, atua significativamente no período seco (pré-monção de sudoeste). Enquanto que na Baixada Santista as influências mais significativas foram da temperatura (máxima e mínima) e precipitação, que desenvolvem conjuntamente um bom cenário de atuação do vetor no período do outono

In this study, based on time series analysis for a period of eight years, correlated dengue…

▼ Norovirus outbreaks can cause the closure of oyster harvesting waters and acute gastroenteritis in humans associated with consumption of contaminated raw oysters. The overall goal of this study was to develop a satellite-assisted forecasting system for oyster norovirus outbreaks. The forecasting system is comprised of three components: (1) satellite algorithms for retrieval of environmental variables, including salinity, temperature, and gage height, (2) an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) based model, called NORF model, for predicting relative risk levels of oyster norovirus outbreaks, and (3) a mapping method for visualizing spatial distributions of norovirus outbreak risks in oyster harvest areas along Louisiana coast. The new satellite algorithms, characterized with linear correlation coefficient ranging from 0.7898 to 0.9076, make it possible to produce spatially distributed daily data with a high resolution (1 kilometer) for salinity, temperature, and gage height in coastal waters. Findings from this study suggest that oyster norovirus outbreaks are predictable, and in Louisiana oyster harvest areas, the NORF model predicted historical outbreaks from 1994 - 2014 without any confirmed false positive or false negative predictions when the estimated relative risk level was > 0.6, while no outbreak occurred when the risk level was < 0.5. However, more outbreak data are needed to confirm the threshold for norovirus outbreaks. Gage height and temperature were the most important environmental predictors of oyster norovirus outbreaks while wind, rainfall, and salinity also predicted norovirus outbreaks. The ability to predict oyster norovirus outbreaks at their onset makes it possible to prevent or at least reduce the risk of norovirus outbreaks by closing potentially affected oyster beds. By combining the NORF model with the remote sensing algorithms created in this dissertation, it is possible to map oyster norovirus outbreak risks in all oyster growing waters and particularly in the areas without direct measurements of relevant environmental variables, greatly expanding the coverage and enhancing the effectiveness of oyster monitoring programs. The hot spot (risk) maps, constructed using the methods developed in this dissertation, make it possible for oyster monitoring programs to manage oyster harvest waters more efficiently by focusing on hot spot areas with limited resources.

RESUMO - A prevalência da obesidade não teve alterações significativas em Portugal. Uma vez que os recursos são escassos e é cada vez mais premente distribuí-los de forma racional, torna-se importante conhecer o impacto económico da obesidade para o país e perceber se os custos se alteraram. Objectivo: Actualizar, à luz de evidência mais recente, a estimativa dos custos directos com internamento hospitalar atribuíveis à obesidade, em Portugal, no ano 2008. Metodologia: Foi estimado o custo directo da obesidade, na componente internamento, a partir da metodologia custo da doença, utilizando uma abordagem baseada na prevalência. Os dados da prevalência advém do estudo epidemiológico mais recente em Portugal (14,4%). Os valores de risco relativo utilizados provêm da meta análise epidemiológica mais completa. Foi calculado, a partir destes dados, o risco atribuível populacional (RAP) de cada patologia. Através da base de dados nacional dos episódios de internamento, fez-se uma pesquisa de todos os episódios de internamento relativos às comorbilidades associadas à obesidade e aplicou-se o respectivo RAP. Com base na portaria n.º 839-A/2009 de 31 Julho atribuíramse os custos. Resultados: Os custos directos com a obesidade, na componente internamento, no ano 2008 foram de 85,9 milhões de euros, o que corresponde a 0,92% da despesa total em saúde. Os três maiores contribuintes para esta despesa são as patologias do sistema circulatório e cerebrovascular, a osteoartrite e os episódios relativos ao tratamento da obesidade em si. Conclusões: O impacto económico relativo ao internamento da obesidade diminuiu em Portugal. Este estudo surge então, como ponto de partida para estudar os custos totais com a obesidade e a efectividade das estratégias de prevenção.

ABSTRACT - The prevalence of obesity has no significative change in Portugal. Once resources are scarce, and it becomes important to deliver them in a rational manner, it is relevant to know the economic impact of obesity in the country, and discover if the costs had changed. Objective: To update, with the current evidence, the estimation of direct costs associated with hospital inpatient stays attributable to obesity, in Portugal, in the year 2008. Methodology: The direct costs of obesity related to hospital inpatient stays was estimated, using cost of illness methodology with prevalence based approach. Prevalence data becomes from the more recent epidemiologic study in Portugal (14, 4%). Relative risk values were taken from a key epidemiologic meta analysis. Population attributable risk (PAR) for each disease was calculated through these data. An investigation of all hospital inpatient episodes, related to comorbidities associated with obesity, through the inpatient hospital national database has been done and the respective PAR has been applied. Costs were attributed based on the portaria n. º 839-A/2009 de 31 Julho. Results: Obesity direct costs, inpatient hospital, year 2008, were 85,9 million euros, which corresponds to 0,92% of total health expenditure. The three…

Por mais que a negociação do voto em troca dos mais variados benefícios tenha desembarcado no país junto da coroa portuguesa ao início do século XIX, se percebe que ela não definhou na história política brasileira. Nem a queda da monarquia e instauração da república e seus valores, a perda de poder dos coronéis de terras, a implantação de punições eleitorais mais duras aos negociantes do voto, ou mesmo a introdução do voto eletrônico para dificultar a prestação de contas do eleitor cliente ao político patrão ao final do século XX foram capazes de conter o desenvolvimento do fenômeno político denominado clientelismo. Um tipo de prática difícil de mensurar, sobretudo, porque para confirmar a troca do voto por algum benefício é necessário que o eleitor admita ter participado desse tipo de transação, ou que o candidato admita ter proposto esse tipo de situação aos eleitores. A confissão é pouco provável de ocorrer, principalmente em decorrência das punições eleitorais e jurídicas que recaem sobre ambos. Para contornar essa dificuldade se optou por tomar apenas o eleitor brasileiro como objeto de análise, e questionar se suas características demográficas, socioeconômicas ou culturais favorecem o clientelismo no Brasil? A delimitação temporal consistiu no período com início no ano de 2000 e término no ano de 2010. Se decidiu trabalhar com duas linhas de investigação: a) mensurar a oferta do clientelismo pelo político ao eleitor; b) mensurar a aprovação do eleitor para uma situação específica de clientelismo vivenciada por si ou por outros. As hipóteses adotadas de início foram: (H1) residir em município de pequeno porte populacional aumenta a probabilidade da oferta clientelista ao eleitor brasileiro; (H2) possuir pouca renda mensal aumenta o risco da oferta e da aprovação ao clientelismo no Brasil; (H3) possuir uma cultura política paroquial aumenta a probabilidade da aprovação do clientelismo pelo eleitor brasileiro. Os resultados obtidos ao final da tese desmentem a maioria das afirmações embasadas no senso comum, algumas realizadas por pesquisadores da área, e todas as hipóteses da tese. Eles demonstram que a região de residência do eleitor e sua idade foram significativas para a ocorrência da oferta clientelista, e que nenhuma das características da população de eleitores foi capaz de influenciar em sua aprovação ao clientelismo na primeira década de 2000.

Even though the negotiation of the vote in exchange of the most varied benefits has landed in the country along with the Portuguese crown at the beginning of the XIX century, it is noticed that it does not decreased in Brazilian political History. Not even the fall of the monarchy and instauration of the Republic and their values, the loss of the power of the colonels, the implementation of harsher electoral punishments to the voting dealers or even the introduction of eletronic voting to difficult the accountability of the cliente elector to the political boss at the end of the 20th century were able to contain the development of the political phenomenon called…

▼ Process Analytical Technology (PAT) systems are used in the pharmaceutical industry to enhance the understanding and control the manufacturing processes. They are defined as systems for designing, analyzing, and controlling manufacturing operations through timely measurements of critical quality attributes of raw/in-process materials, with the goal of ensuring quality of final drug products. Near-Infrared (NIR) spectroscopy is a commonly used analytical part of the PAT toolbox. It offers advantages such as rapid/non-destructive analysis, limited sample preparation, and specificity to physical/chemical quality attributes. The implementation of NIR-based PAT systems enables real-time quality monitoring and process control strategies, which mitigates the risks to process efficiency and product quality. Some examples include reduction in manufacturing cycle times, prevention of rejects, increased automation, real-time release, and improved resource utilization associated with development/manufacturing. The use of PAT systems mitigates manufacturing risks to product quality; however, they can also introduce additional risks. The uncertainty of PAT methods contributes to the risks of inaccurate quality estimations. These risks depend on factors related to method development such as chemical variability, instrumentation optical design, scale of scrutiny, and calibration algorithms. The performance statistics of PAT methods can be used to represent the risks associated with its use for estimating quality. This research assessed the risk factors, i.e. chemical variability, instrumentation optical design, scale of scrutiny, and calibration algorithms with respect to impacting the performance of NIR-based PAT methods for predicting quality indices of powder blending, tableting, and roller compaction. The International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) Q9 guidance provides strategies for implementing quality risk management with respect to product development. This dissertation focuses on extending these concepts for assessing risks associated with the use of NIR methods. The knowledge gained by this research enhances our ability to develop accurate and robust NIR methods for prediction of quality attributes of solid oral dosage forms.

▼ Transgenic fishes are nearing commercialization for aquaculture around the world. Farmed transgenic fish would likely escape from typical production facilities and interbreed with wild relatives. We tested methodologies for predicting the risk of gene flow from transgenic fish. We conducted the first study of gene flow in confined populations of transgenic animals. In two experiments several generations long, we released growth-enhanced transgenic (T) Japanese medaka (Oryzias latipes) into populations of wild-type (W) medaka in semi-natural environments. Transgene frequencies varied in the first experiment, but transgene frequencies all decreased in the second experiment. We measured six fitness traits in both genotypes, and found that T males were more fertile than W, but W males obtained more matings than T males. Next, we compared fitness traits of W and T medaka under four environments: (A) high food availability, predation absent; (B) high food availability, predation present; (C) low food availability, predation absent; and (D) low food availability, predation present. Overall, T females were more fecund than W, and fecundity was highest in Environment B. Offspring of TW and WT crosses had higher survival to sexual maturity than offspring of two W parents. Fish in Environment A reached sexual maturity sooner than fish in all other environments. W males had a mating advantage in Environments B and C. Finally, we observed gene flow in populations of T and W medaka in Environments A-D for 210 days. The final transgene frequency in Environment A was greater than in Environments C or D. We parameterized a demographic model with fitness trait values collected under the same environments, which predicted that transgene frequency in Environment A would be the highest, but also overestimated transgene frequency compared to observed results. Predicted transgene frequencies overlapped with observations in Environments B and C but not in the more extreme Environments A and D. Our results suggest that risk assessment of gene flow from T to W fish ought to consider the impact of limiting environmental factors on fitness components. Before using models to inform ecological risk assessments, predictions should be confirmed with data collected under relevant environmental conditions.

▼ AbstractBackground: Kidney disease is recognised as an important worldwide health burden. Kidney failure is the result of acute and chronic kidney disease and is associated with morbidity and mortality. Chronic kidney failure is associated with high-costs for society and low quality of life. Kidney failure may progress to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) that requires dialysis or kidney transplantation with associated high costs for society and low quality of life for the patient. Both genetic and socioeconomic factors are increasingly recognised as important for the development of kidney disease. However, the importance of hereditary and socioeconomic factors has not been studied nationwide in a whole country for kidney failure or glomerulonephritis. Aims: The overall aim was to study the association between familial and non-hereditary factors and kidney failure and glomerulonephritis in Sweden. In the first paper, neighbourhood deprivation and ESRD was studied. In the second paper, familial risks of renal failure was determined. In the third paper, familial risks of glomerulonephritis was studied. In the fourth paper, heritability of ESRD was determined among Swedish adoptees.Methods: The thesis is based on nationwide retrospective cohort studies using Swedish registers such as the Multi-generation register and the National patient register (NPR). In the first paper, data were analysed by multilevel logistic regression, with individual-level sociodemographic factors and comorbidities at the first level and neighbourhood deprivation at the second level. In the second and third papers familial relative risks (FRRs) of kidney failure and glomerulonephritis were determined using standardized incidence ratio (SIR). In study IV logistic regression (OR=odds ratio) and tetrachoric correlation and also Falconers regression were used to determine heritability of ESRD among adoptees in Sweden.Results: In paper I, neighbourhood deprivation was modestly associated with ESRD in the full model after adjusting for individual-level sociodemographic factors and comorbidities in men OR=1.17 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.07–1.27) and in women OR=1.18 (95% CI 1.06–1.31). In paper II the FRR was significantly increased for chronic kidney failure (SIR= 2.02, 95% CI 1.90-2.14) but not for acute kidney failure (SIR=1.08 (95% CI 0.94-1.22) and for unspecified kidney failure, i.e. not specified as acute or chronic (SIR=1.25 (95% CI 0.94–1.63). Males and females had similar FRR for chronic kidney failure, (males SIR=2.04 [95% CI 1.90-2.20] versus females SIR=1.97 [95% CI 1.78-2.17]). The highest FRR was observed for chronic kidney failure among individuals aged 10-19 years (SIR=6.33 [95% CI 4.16-9.22]). In paper III FRR for acute glomerulonephritis was 3.57 (95% CI 2.77-4.53), for chronic glomerulonephritis 3.75 (95% CI 2.85-4.83), and 3.75 (95% CI 2.85-4.83) for unspecified glomerulonephritis, i.e. not specified as acute or chronic. An especially high FRR was observed if two or more relatives were affected (SIR=209.83, 95% 150.51-284.87).…

Les composés organiques semi volatils (COSV) sont largement présents dans les environnements intérieurs et sont suspectés d’être repro- ou neurotoxiques, mais peu de données sont disponibles quant à leur toxicité en mélanges. L’objectif de cette thèse est de proposer des indicateurs de toxicité cumulés pour les COSV détectés dans les logements français, dans un cadre d’évaluation des risques sanitaires cumulés. Les COSV ont été regroupés en fonction de leurs modes d’action communs, en lien avec les effets reprotoxiques (diminution de la concentration de testostérone sérique) et neurotoxiques (diminution de la viabilité neuronale). Des benchmark doses (BMD) ont ensuite été estimées par modélisation (modèle de Hill, PROAST, RIVM) des relations dose-réponse de la littérature décrivant la réponse d’intérêt. Des BMD comparables ont pu être estimées seulement pour 6 des 19 COSV reprotoxiques induisant une diminution de testostérone de 10 ou 50 % chez le rat adulte exposé par voie orale. Les facteurs de toxicité relatifs (RPF) estimés à partir des BMD sont sensiblement les mêmes en fonction du niveau de réponse (de 1600 pour le B(a)P à 0,1 pour le BBP), excepté pour le biphénol A qui passe de 7E+6 à 180. Considérant la mort neuronale in vitro, des BMD ont pu être estimées pour 13 COSV neurotoxiques, à partir de données provenant de différentes lignées et espèces. Les BMD équivalent à un niveau de réponse de 10 % s’échelonnent de 0,07 (PCB-153) à 95 µM (diazinon). L’originalité de ce travail repose sur le regroupement de composés de familles chimiques différentes qui constituent des contaminations réelles de notre environnement. Si l’estimation des quelques BMD a été possible à partir des données de la littérature, de nombreuses limites méthodologiques conduisent à émettre des recommandations en particulier sur la standardisation des protocoles expérimentaux et la disponibilité des résultats sous une forme adaptée à la modélisation de la relation dose-réponse.

Semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs) are widely present in indoor environments and are suspected to be repro- or neurotoxic but little is known on the health impact on SVOC mixtures. The objective of this work is to derive cumulative toxicity indicators for SVOCs detected in French dwellings in carrying forward a cumulative health risk assessment. SVOCs were grouped according to their repro- and neurotoxic common modes of action (i.e. decrease in serum testosterone concentrations, decrease in neuronal viability). Benchmark doses (BMDs) were then estimated by modeling dose-response relationships from scientific literature (Hill models, PROAST, RIVM). Comparable BMDs were estimated only for 6 of the 19 reprotoxic SVOCs which are responsible to 10 or 50% decrease in testosterone in adult male rats orally exposed. Estimated relative potency factors (RPFs) from BMDs are similar according to the response level (from 1600 for the B(a)P to 0.1 for the BBP), excepted for bisphenol A moving from 7E+6 to 180. For in vitro neuronal death, BMDs were estimated for 13…

Two fundamental biostatistical measures are the risk and the rate of event occurrence, representing the probability of an event and the expected number of events during a fixed time period. Regression models can be used to relate an individual's characteristics to the risk or rate of an event, such as the occurrence of disease or death. This allows identification of high-risk individuals and can reveal ways in which risk may be reduced.

Generalised linear models (GLMs) for binary and count data are an important statistical tool for risk and rate modelling, and semi-parametric extensions provide additional flexibility. However, some key GLMs of interest have parameter constraints implied by the risk and rate models, and standard model-fitting algorithms can be numerically unstable. This is particularly true for GLMs that allow estimation of risk differences, rate differences and relative risks.

In this thesis by publication new variants of the Expectation-Maximisation (EM) algorithm are developed in order to provide reliable and flexible methods for fitting such models to binary and count data. This begins with the development of a method for additional binomial GLMs, which allows for reliable adjustment of risk differences. An extension of this and other EM-type algorithms for binomial and Poisson GLMs is then provided, which allows for flexible semi-parametric regression based on spline models. As well as risk differences, these models allow reliable estimation of rate differences and relative risks. A method for additive regression under a negative binomial model is also developed, which can be used to estimate rate differences when the observed counts show more variation than is expected under a Poisson model. These methods all ensure that the fitted models respect the required parameter constraints, and their stability allows us to reliably use resampling methods that require many auxiliary analyses, such as the bootstrap.

The utility of these approaches is demonstrated by applying them to various clinical datasets. The methods described in this thesis have all been implemented in open-source packages for the R computing environment and have been made available online.

Atualmente a assistência à saúde do idoso é prioritária, verificando-se ser o envelhecimento um desafio mundial. Observa-se que a ocorrência de trauma tem aumentado nesta população nos últimos anos e os acidentes de trânsito são uma das causas mais frequentes destes eventos. O presente estudo é longitudinal retrospectivo com objetivo de analisar o trauma por acidente de trânsito no idoso atendido em um hospital municipal de referência em urgência nos anos de 2010 e 2011. O local de realização foi um hospital de urgência de referência e a Delegacia de Repressão aos Crimes de Trânsito. Em uma população de 524 idosos, os dados do estudo foram coletados por meio de levantamento nos prontuários, boletins de atendimento, boletins de registro de acidentes de trânsito e inquéritos policiais utilizando formulários validados por expertes na área do trauma. A análise descritiva foi realizada para todas as variáveis, incluindo as medidas de posição e de dispersão para as variáveis quantitativas. Na análise espacial utilizaram-se o Índice Local de Moran e a densidade de Kernel. Para análise do risco de acidente, trauma e óbito empregou-se como medida de associação o risco relativo. Do total de 524 idosos acidentados caracterizados pela média de 67,5 anos, 69,1% eram do sexo masculino, 66,9% eram casados e 65,3% possuíam ensino fundamental. Dentre os acidentados, 78,6% apresentaram trauma, sendo 34,9% pedestres e em 27,2% dos acidentes, a motocicleta foi o veículo envolvido. As lesões de maior incidência por região corporal ocorreram nos membros inferiores, correspondendo a 24,1%. Dentre as consequências, 47,7% foram imobilizações. As cirurgias ortopédicas responderam por 26,1% dos procedimentos. A alta hospitalar representou 83,2% da condição de saída do hospital. Dos acidentes, 92,5% ocorreram sem vítima fatal e 56,2% dos óbitos foram na faixa etária de 60 a 69 anos. Destes 59,7% eram pedestres, 47,3% ocorreram na sala de emergência, sendo 28,3% por traumatismo cranioencefálico. A análise espacial evidenciou que os óbitos se concentraram na área urbana, com aglomerado de bairros com alta ocorrência de acidente de trânsito, apresentando correlação positiva, assim como evidenciou também a existência de regiões com maior densidade de ocorrências. Os resultados do estudo demonstraram também forte associação entre o sexo masculino e a ocorrência de acidente, trauma e óbito em decorrência da lesão, em praticamente todas as situações e faixas etárias examinadas, principalmente entre os idosos mais velhos. Os acidentes de trânsito apresentaram características específicas nos idosos, carecendo de mais estudos para dimensionamento real do problema e adoção adequada de medidas de proteção cabíveis. Constatou-se a importância da análise espacial dos acidentes por local de ocorrência do evento, por possibilitar a identificação das regiões que necessitam, prioritariamente, da implantação e implementação de medidas preventivas e corretivas para prevenção e controle destas ocorrências

▼ Motivated by a logistic regression problem involving diet and cancer, we reconsider the problem of forming a confidence interval for the ratio of two location parameters. We develop a new methodology, which we call the Direct Integral Method for Ratios (DIMER). In simulations, we compare this method to many others, including Wald's method, Fieller's interval, Hayya's method, the nonparametric bootstrap and the parametric bootstrap. These simulations show that, generally, DIMER more closely achieves the nominal confidence level, and in those cases that the other methods achieve the nominal levels, DIMER generally has smaller confidence interval lengths. We also show that DIMER eliminates the probability of infinite length or enormous length confidence intervals, something that can occur in Fieller's interval. Furthermore, we study the real Healthy Eating Index-2005 (HEI-2005) data set from the NIH-AARP Study of Diet and Health, consider a weighted logistic regression model in which there are multiple subpopulations, and multiple diseases within each subpopulation. Based on this model, we present six different approaches to form the confidence intervals for the relative risks of different diseases in different subpopulations, including DIMER. The asymptotic distributions of the estimates for the log(relative risks) by the maximum likelihood and the nonparametric bootstrap method are provided. Next, the algorithms are presented to perform hypothesis tests and likelihood ratio tests to check there are significant differences between our proposed model and the other three logistic regression models or not. In addition, the adaptive lasso and an estimator with bounded constrains are described for variable selection and a novel algorithm to solve the nonlinear regression model with L1 norm penalty is proposed. The application of all those methods to the HEI-2005 data are illustrated. Additionally, we expand the linear function of nutrition components inside the logistic regression model to a nonlinear case. More than that, we consider there are some limitations from the knowledge of biology and nutrition and propose a logistic regression model involving I-spline basis functions and an algorithm to solve it. Application to the real HEI-200d data set and comparison to a logistic model with total HEI scores are also presented.

▼ The definition, understanding, and evaluation of performance have been an interest of the marketing, management, psychology, and education literature for a long time. The goal of this dissertation is contributing to the further understanding of the effects of environmental changes on performance, specifically on how budgetary contractions due to economic tightening and changes in feedback affect performance.The first chapter investigates to what degree budget contractions resulting from reduced pay-rates affect performance by changing risk preferences, and it aims to investigate whether using social priming can mitigate the relationship between budget contraction and risk-taking behavior. Three experimental studies demonstrated that experiencing a budget contraction through pay-rate reductions leads individuals to involve in riskier behavior in both financial and social domains. Individuals who experience reduced pay-rates took more risk by investing more in a risky lottery game and demonstrated more dishonest behavior by cheating more. Moreover, the results of the third experiment display that priming individuals with social concepts alleviated the increased risk-taking behavior experienced after budget contraction.The second chapter investigates the possible negative effects of providing Relative Performance Information (RPI) on the performance of participants working in a group with individual performance based payment setting. The results of the first experiment demonstrate that when participants lack expertise and need feedback to learn the optimal strategy, providing RPI will hurt average performance. Even though the participants who were ranked at the top and bottom of the ranking scale improved their performance, participants in the middle of the ranking scale performed worse. The second study in this chapter finds that providing RPI on a perceivably easy and unfamiliar task negatively affects the task enjoyment and (absolute and relative) perceived performance at the task by particularly showing that one does relatively poorly compared to their expectation.

▼ It has been proved from several studies that the genetic influence has been the most significant factor for having preeclampsia (PE). Still there are many uncertainties about origin and magnitude of the genetic effects as no specific inheritance patterns have been established. In this study, heritage risk of PE is in both the woman’s family and her partner’s family to her risk of PE is examined, along women and men own history with same and different partners. Moreover it is also examined whether timing of onset of PE is also has any impact on familial clustering of PE. Here, we used the population based Danish birth and multi generation registers to identify a cohort of women who have given birth during 1978 to 2008; which consisted of 1,79,69,28 singleton deliveries. This information is linked with pedigree information from the Danish Family Relation Database to define both maternal and paternal relationships. Risk ratios were estimated comparing women with and without various PE histories. It is found that the recurrence risk of a woman suffering from PE is 12.4 with 95% confidence limits (11.9, 12.8). Woman's recurrence risk diminishes only slightly when she changes partner means that particularly maternal genetic factors play the largest role, compared to male partner whose recurrence risk almost diminishes if he changes his female partner. Women and men from families with PE contribute to risk of PE in pregnancies they are involved in. The woman’s family history is still more important compared to man family history of PE; except for increased rick in pregnancies fathered by men who were born to preeclamptic mothers. The recurrence risk of a women suffering from PE, if she already has suffered from this condition before 34 weeks is found to be very high (RR=25.4 with 95% confidence limits (21.8, 29.1)) with same male partner. It is found that early-onset PE and later-onset varieties have a clear genetic component but the intensity of early onset is stronger than late onset varieties. There are both maternal and paternal genetic contributions to early-onset PE, with the maternal ones seeming to be stronger.

▼ A key proposition of Gottfredson and Hirschi's (1990) self-control theory is the stability hypothesis which suggests that an individual's level of self-control, once established between the ages of 8-10, is stable over the life course. Empirical results from examinations of the stability hypothesis have been mixed. Prior tests of the stability hypothesis have employed aggregate assessment methods (e.g., mean-level and correlational analyses). Such approaches fail to take into account the possibility that individual developmental pathways may differ. This study employs individual longitudinal data over a four year period for 3,249 7th to 10th grade subjects to assess the stability hypothesis using both traditional stability estimation techniques (e.g., ANOVAs and zero-order correlations), as well as heterogeneity assessment methods - semiparametric group-based trajectory modeling (SPGM). Multinomial logistic regression (MLOGIT) of theoretically and empirically relevant risk factors (i.e., parenting, parental criminality, deviant peers, bonds to school) was employed to distinguish between developmental trajectories. SPGM results suggest that self-control is stable for a majority of the sample; however, a sizeable portion of the sample evinced trajectories for which self-control was marked by considerable change. Specifically, 6 unique trajectories in the development of self-control were identified - two groups were identified with high stable trajectories of self-control and four groups were identified that had lower, less stable trajectories of self-control. Additionally, several risk factors differentiated these groups. The results indicate that those with lower, less stable trajectories have more deviant peer association, higher rates of parental criminality, less intense bonds to school, and lower levels of parenting. These results indicate that self control is not stable nor is it consistent across groups, leading to a rejection of Hirschi and Gottfredson's explanation.

▼ Este estudo, de natureza qualitativa e exploratória, pretende conhecer e analisar os significados que as pessoas constroem a partir da experiência de perda, por suicídio, de um familiar (i.e. sobrevivente-familiar). Procura também perceber se os significados diferem entre pessoas com diferentes níveis de sintomatologia psicopatológica. Foram entrevistados oito adultos que perderam familiares por suicídio, há mais de 1 ano e há menos de 10 anos, recrutados por procedimentos de amostragem por conveniência. Para estes sobreviventes, o suicídio do familiar inserese no campo semântico do drama, existindo uma tendência dos indivíduos com maior sintomatologia para a construção de significados autorreferentes de ineficácia. Estes resultados podem constituir-se como indicadores discursivos de risco psicopatológico. Surge também como uma implicação deste estudo a importância de se intervir na redução do estigma social e na promoção de acesso a serviços de apoio psicológico capazes de auxiliar os sobreviventes na construção de significados adaptativos; Abstract: Life after death: Narratives of a family member loss experience by suicide This qualitative and exploratory study aims to know and analyze the meanings that people construct from the loss experience of a family member, by suicide (i.e. relative-survivor). It also intends to understand if meanings differ between people with distinct psychopathological symptomatology levels. Eight adults who had lost relatives by suicide, for longer than 1 year and less than 10 years, were recruited through convenience sampling procedures. For these survivors, the relative suicide inserts into the semantic field of drama, exhisting a tendency of individuals with greater symptomatology to construct meanings self refering of inefficacy. These results may constitute discursive indicators of psychopathological risk. It also arises as an implication of this study a dimension of intervening in reducing social stigma and promoting access to psychological support services who can assist survivors in constructing adaptive meanings.
