▼ In software system development, it can be a challenge for people to select the ‘right’ requirement among several or many options if it is not obvious which requirement is desirable. Requirements prioritization helps people to discover the most desirable requirements. It seems that most requirements prioritization techniques work well on a small number of requirements, but many of them have constraints on medium to large numbers of requirements. This directly leads to a question: are there prioritization techniques that are suitable for people to prioritize medium to large numbers of requirements? In order to find an answer to this question, this research investigates the strength of evidence for the effectiveness of different requirements prioritization techniques for medium to large numbers of requirements. The methodology used for this research is a Systematic Literature Review. A Systematic Literature Review investigates research questions through identifying, evaluating and interpreting all relevant studies. It summarises the existing evidence for a certain technology. The reason a Systematic Literature Review was used to conduct this research is because it matches the purpose of this research, which is to systematically assess current studies in requirements prioritisation techniques as reported in literature, and analyse and draw together the results. After conducting the Systematic Literature Review, prioritization techniques that have been applied to medium to large numbers of requirements are identified and the strength of evidence for effectiveness of each technique is evaluated. It is found that the strength of evidence for effectiveness is weak for most prioritization techniques for large numbers of requirements. More studies on prioritization techniques for large numbers of requirements are needed. Stronger evidence presented for prioritization techniques for medium sized numbers of requirements shows the techniques are more mature. However, all the studies in the medium-size category use a subjective measure of improvement based on the users’ perceptions of level of improvement. It seems that the evaluations are still not strong for these studies. Advisors/Committee Members: Buchan, Jim (advisor).

▼ Abstract Title: Oral hygiene interventions for people with disabilities: A Scoping Review, a Cochrane Review and a Realist Review Author: Catherine Geraldine Waldron Background: Worldwide, the oral health of people with disabilities is poorer than that of the general population. The effectiveness of oral health interventions specifically designed for people with disabilities has not been systematically examined. The aim of this thesis was to identify what types of disabilities have been targeted, what types of interventions have been undertaken, what outcomes have been assessed and what are the contexts and mechanisms that facilitate or create barriers in relation to the success, or otherwise, of these interventions. Methods: The outcome from these reviews was realised through sequential application of multiple methods of data synthesis. Firstly, Scoping Review methodology was applied to systematically search for evidence in relation to what types of oral health interventions have been evaluated for people with disabilities. Secondly, a more focused Cochrane Review methodology explored the effectiveness of oral hygiene interventions for people with intellectual disabilities (ID). Thirdly, parallel to the Cochrane Review, Realist Review methodology was used to refine the theories in relation to how carer-led oral hygiene interventions are supposed to work. Results: The Scoping Review revealed a focus on therapeutic interventions for populations with disabilities (46%). Skill-based interventions (28%) were the next largest group of interventions, most of which were focused on oral hygiene skills or methods to teach these skills (90%), and most for a population with ID (48%). The Cochrane Review showed: (a) some benefits when a carer of a person with ID used a special manual toothbrush; (b) inconsistent findings between outcomes when an electric toothbrush was used by or for people with ID; (c) carers? oral health knowledge consistently improved following training. However, this training did not always impact on the carers? attitude or behaviour and resulted in only small reductions in the levels of gingival inflammation of the people with ID for whom they cared; (d) the benefit to the people with ID was shown to be greater when some level of monitoring of the carer?s behaviour was undertaken and (e) people with ID can acquire the skills to undertake some or all of the steps involved in toothbrushing. The Realist Review identified that the needs of the carers of people with ID, the type of oral care training provided and level of support provided to them, may all play an important role in the success of any carer-led oral hygiene intervention. The role of stakeholders in the planning and design of interventions and resourcing to ensure sustainability, were also identified as key elements supporting a successful outcome. Conclusion: The findings of the three reviews collectively provide a comprehensive insight, which did not exist previously, into oral hygiene interventions for people with ID: the types of interventions… Advisors/Committee Members: Nunn, June.

▼ Objective: To systematically identify, appraise and synthesis evidence of the formulation specific effects and population specific responses of probiotics in inflammatory arthritis (IA). Methods: MEDLINE (PubMed), CINAHL, EMBASE, and SCOPUS databases were searched for studies utilising probiotics and an intervention of inflammatory arthritis. The Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) method was used to conduct the systematic review. A single reviewer undertook screening and data extraction. Two independent reviewers assessed the quality of evidence using JBI tools. Results: A total of 154 full text articles were retrieved and of these twelve eligible studies were reviewed. Of these, ten (83%) were randomised controlled trials and two (17%) were quasi-experimental studies. Four studies included a variety of spondyloarthopathies (SpA). Eight studies focused on rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Probiotics were supplied for a median timeframe of 60 and mode of 56 days (range 7-365 days). Overall, 17 different probiotics were supplied in colony forming units (CFU) per 24hrs ranging from 1x 108 to 2.25 x 1011. The genus of probiotic most commonly supplied was Lactobacillus. There was no statistical difference in the relative risk (RR) of minor adverse effects between probiotic and control groups (RR 1.02, 95% CI 0.69 to 1.51) when including nil event studies and no major adverse effects reported. However, effects were more often reported for studies on SpA. Meta-analysis identified a statistically significant benefit of probiotics on quality of life with a standard mean difference (SMD) effect size -0.37 (CI-0.59, -0.15), p=0.01 with subgroup analysis favouring Lactobacillus-only formulations. Negative effects sizes related to the reduction in quality of life scores that utilise a higher score to indicate worsening symptoms and more impact upon daily living. Small but statistically significant reductions in pain, p=0.006 with a mean difference effects size -8.97 (95%CI -15.38, -2.56), were identified independent of formulation. Meta-analysis confirmed the known statistically significant benefit of probiotics on the inflammatory marker C-reactive protein p=0.017 with a mean difference effects size -2.34 (95%CI -4.26, -0.41), with subgroup analysis demonstrating a greater difference in RA and combined Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus formulations. The clinical significance of these small changes is questioned. Conclusion: This review indicates a potential differential benefit to combined formulations of Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus compared to purely Lactobacillus formulations, with respect to reducing pain, lowering C-reactive protein and improving quality of life. It also suggests altered benefits dependant on the type of inflammatory arthritis with less benefit and more frequently reported side effects for individuals with SpA compared to RA. Generalisability of results to clinical practice is limited by the dominant demographic of older individuals, with established disease beyond the ‘therapeutic window of intervention’ for… Advisors/Committee Members: Stephenson, Matthew (advisor), Briggs, Andrew (advisor), Adelaide Medical School (school).

▼ Background: It has been demonstrated informal caregivers of people with dementia (PWD) experience negative health outcomes. The current research explored caregivers’ cognitive and emotional well-being, in the hope of advancing understanding of how caregivers can best be supported. Objective: A systematic review was conducted to examine the relationship between caregiving for a PWD and cognitive functioning. An empirical study was conducted to examine the relationship between caregiving for a PWD and the experience of depressive symptoms. The empirical research aimed to understand how perceived suffering, intrusive thoughts and compassion contributed to caregivers depressive symptoms. Methods: Systematic review: A search of electronic databases was conducted. The research papers were systematically reviewed using an adapted version of the Effective Public Health Practice Project quality assessment tool. Empirical: A cross-sectional, within-subjects design was used. Participants completed six standardised self-report questionnaires online. Mediation and moderated mediation analysis was conducted using the PROCESS macro for SPPSS. Results: Systematic review: Fourteen papers were identified. There was evidence to suggest that caregivers of PWD had reduced complex attention when compared to controls. Empirical: Perceived suffering of a loved one and the occurrence of intrusive thoughts were significantly related to caregivers’ depressive symptoms. Compassion was not found to moderate the relationship between perceived suffering and intrusive thoughts. Conclusions: Systematic review: The findings suggested that caregivers found it more difficult to complete tasks involving complex attention when compared to non caregivers. There was not enough evidence to drawn conclusions about other areas of cognitive functioning. Empirical: Intrusive thoughts were found to be a potential pathway to depressive symptoms in caregivers’ of PWD. Research findings support the development and implementation of interventions targeted at intrusive thoughts. Research findings did not support concerns related to trait compassion.

▼ Clinical pathways (CPWs) are tools used by healthcare professionals to guide evidence-based practice by improving multidisciplinary communication, teamwork, and care planning to optimize patient outcomes. CPWs are continually developed and implemented in several healthcare settings; however, the evidence of their effectiveness in hospitals is debatable to date. There is no coherent theory that explains how CPWs work in different healthcare settings. The overall objective of this thesis is to investigate the effects of CPWs implemented in hospitals. The first part (study 1) of this thesis described a statistical method to refine an operational definition for CPWs that is useful for conducting CPWs research in healthcare. The refined operational definition was used to synthesize evidence from CPW literature. The second part (study 2) of the thesis investigated the effects of CPWs in hospitals following the Cochrane systematic review methodology. The key finding in this review was that stand-alone CPWs may reduce in-hospital complications and hospital costs compared to usual care (low-certainty evidence) and it is uncertain whether stand-alone CPWs reduces the length of hospital stay or improve adherence to recommended practice by healthcare providers (very low-certainty evidence). The final section of the thesis (study 3) is a realist review protocol following the realist methodology to describe an evidence-based approach for developing a realist program theory with the aim of filling the theoretical void on how clinical pathways work in hospitals to generate intended outcomes. Taken together, these studies make a valuable addition to the growing body of research on clinical pathways implemented in hospitals. There is an urgent need to develop an internationally agreed definition for clinical pathways that can inform the development of plausible theories on how they work in hospital environments.

▼ There is a general agreement that a relationship exists between health literacy (HL) and health outcomes. Nonetheless, there are critical gaps in the measurement of HL and in the evidence on the impact of inadequate HL on health outcomes, especially in the diabetes population. These gaps need to be addressed before any recommendations regarding HL screening or interventions are implemented. To address these gaps, first we conducted two systematic reviews, one in which we reviewed the evidence on the relationship between HL and health outcomes in the diabetes population, and the other consisted of a review and evaluation of HL measures used in this population. Then we conducted a validation study that examined the measurement properties of a HL measure; a longitudinal study that examined the associations between HL and health outcomes in individuals with diabetes; and last, a qualitative study that examined the use of interactive communication loops and medical jargon in relation to HL in nurses’ interaction with individuals with diabetes. We found that the evidence on the impact of HL on health outcomes in the diabetes population is limited and inconclusive; measures of HL are not comprehensive enough with limited evidence on their measurement properties; the 3-brief screening questions are potentially a useful measure for screening for inadequate HL; inadequate HL was not associated with worse health outcomes in individuals with diabetes and depressive symptoms; and healthcare providers may place high demands on patients through their communication and interaction with them. Despite the use of rigorous research methods and the robust evidence generated, the overall available evidence on these relationships is still inconsistent and thus inconclusive. Our work highlights two crucial questions that need to be examined “how to comprehensively measure HL?” and “whether HL is modifiable?” Until, these questions – and others – are answered and conclusive evidence is available, we believe that, outside of the study setting, it might be premature to invest in routinely screening for HL or to trying to improve HL for the purposes of improving patient-related outcomes in diabetes, although there might be other reasons to do so.

▼ Pregnancy is a time of tremendous life change as women become mothers. In Canada, 65% of primiparous women attend prenatal education classes during pregnancy. The goals of prenatal education are to provide information and support for women during the perinatal period. It is important for registered nurses and other prenatal educators to understand the role prenatal education classes have on influencing psychosocial postpartum outcomes. This systematic review answers the question ‘what is the effectiveness of structured prenatal education classes for mothers on maternal mental health, social support, transition to motherhood, infant care, and sexuality’. Inclusion criteria included studies published since 2003, a comparison study design, and a structured group prenatal education class for pregnant women which measured the outcomes of maternal mental health, social support, transition to motherhood, infant care, or sexuality between birth and 12-months postpartum. A search conducted April 2018 (updated July 2019) within the databases of CINAHL, MEDLINE, EMBASE, PsychINFO, Dissertations and Theses databases, found 10,047 studies with 15 included in the review. Relevance and validity tools were applied, and a data collection table organized the synthesis. The results of the review indicate prenatal education classes are of mixed effectiveness, with some benefits for: (a) maternal mental health sub-outcomes of depression, maternal well-being, confidence, and learned resourcefulness; (b) social support outcomes of support from others, perception of social support, and relationship satisfaction; and (c) the transition to motherhood outcomes of satisfaction with motherhood and with life, and self-efficacy. Prenatal education classes were not of benefit for infant care in the single study reporting on this outcome, and no studies reported on sexuality. A limitation of the review is the heterogeneity of the concepts under study, measuring tools, and content of the interventions, making it difficult to arrive at a firm conclusion. The review demonstrated prenatal education class interventions which include psychosocial topics and/or skill building elements and/or of longer duration show a greater benefit for some outcomes under study, although not for all. Prenatal education classes without additional psychosocial content generally do not demonstrate a benefit over nonattendance for these outcomes.

Reference intervals (RIs) are sets of percentiles that outline the range of laboratory test results belonging to healthy individuals. They are essential for the interpretation of laboratory test results. A wide variety of factors affect the validity of RIs. Among them are the statistical methods used to estimate RIs. However, little investigation has gone into the effect that different statistical methods have on the resulting RIs. This is particularly needed as the complexity of paediatric data makes it difficult to estimate RIs. These difficulties, however, can be addressed using appropriate statistical techniques, provided that there is an outline of scenarios under which these techniques are truly “appropriate”. The objective of this thesis is to provide a thorough investigation into the effect of different statistical methods on RIs. A systematic review was first conducted with a focus on paediatric RIs. The results of this review revealed that critical analysis steps are often overlooked due to complicated paediatric data. Even though a guideline addressing the establishment of RIs is available, there is great heterogeneity in the statistical methods chosen to estimate paediatric RIs. An extensive simulation involving the three most commonly used approaches to estimate RIs (the parametric, non-parametric, and robust methods) was also conducted to investigate and compare the performance of the different methods. The simulation results show that, when data follows a Gaussian distribution, or close to it, the parametric method provides the best estimates. The non-parametric method did not provide the best estimates of RIs (compared to the parametric method) unless data was highly skewed and/or large sample sizes were used. In addition, the bias and MSE associated with the parametric method when data follows a Gaussian distribution was mathematically derived, which may lead to the development of a bias corrected and more precise approach in the future.

Masters Research - Masters of Philosophy (MPhil)

This thesis by publication examines the Berg Balance Scale (BBS), a balance assessment tool used globally by clinicians and researchers for varied clinical and non-clinical populations. Despite its extensive application, important aspects of the utility of the BBS remain to be determined. This thesis evaluated three of these properties: validity when applied in a rural, clinical population, reliability evaluated from previously published literature, and normative values as measured in the healthy aged. The first published study investigated the BBS in the context of two rural hospitals. It aimed to describe predicted and measured balance changes in patients receiving physiotherapy in two rural hospitals and to explore the relationship between patients’ measured balance at discharge, carer availability and patients’ discharge destination. A strong relationship was discovered between the BBS at discharge and the probability of discharge to nursing home. The degree to which the balance of patients changed from the commencement of their physiotherapy intervention to their point of discharge displayed high variability and was very difficult to predict. The study attempted to identify information available to hospitals at admission which might predict change in balance. The presence or absence of several diagnoses and health issues was recorded at admission. Although 13 such potential predictors where recorded, none of them was shown to be useful in predicting change in balance. Treating physiotherapists were asked at commencement of therapy to predict how much change in patients’ measured balance they anticipated and their estimates were accurate. The findings of this study are valuable because they suggest that balance, as measured by the BBS is an important predictor of the need to enter nursing home care. These results also suggest that discharge planners and aged care assessment teams should give credence to the treating physiotherapist’s estimate of probable change in balance when planning hospital discharge destinations. The second published study used a systematic review and meta-analysis of the published literature to assess the relative and absolute reliability of the BBS. It aimed to determine the inter rater and intra rater relative reliability and the absolute reliability of the BBS. The relative reliability of the BBS was found to be high. The pooled estimate of the relative intra-rater reliability of 0.98 (95% CI 0.97 to 0.99) and the pooled estimate of the relative inter-rater reliability was 0.97 (95% CI 0.96 to 0.98). The absolute reliability of the BBS was found to vary across the scale. The minimal detectable change with 95% confidence varied between 2.8/56 and 6.6/56, with the highest reliability found when the BBS had scores near 56/56. No data was found describing the absolute reliability in the range 0-20/56. While the BBS has acceptable reliability, it may not detect a modest, clinically relevant change. These results are important because they…

▼ The systematic review has become the ‘gold standard’ of evidence. Historically the systematic review has focused on effectiveness and as such the aggregation of results from randomised controlled trials. However health care questions are often complex requiring different research approaches to yield appropriate answers. It is acknowledged that not all research questions are amenable to the results of RCTS and as such there is now a shift towards understanding the need to incorporate research findings that acknowledge social and cultural concerns. This shift has resulted in an increased use of qualitative research findings as evidence and more specifically the systematic review of qualitative research findings. While still a relatively new area of research, the methods surrounding qualitative systematic review are fast developing. To date there are many views and debates on how this type of research should be performed. In order to gain a deeper level of understanding of these positions a discursive analysis informed by Foucault was undertaken on contemporary literature. Incorporating Foucault’s archaeological and genealogical aspects to analysis three distinct discursive formations related to the incorporation of qualitative systematic review into evidence-based practice is revealed. History of the present: a voice silenced examines the discourses surrounding the evidence-based revolution lack of reference to incorporating qualitative research findings. Rise of the silenced voice examines the discourses around positioning qualitative research findings into evidence-based practice. The final formation, Building Blocks to systematic review examines all the discourses surrounding the elements of conducting a qualitative systematic review. Finally the researcher concludes that all approaches to synthesising qualitative research are useful and have a place within health care but only reviews that follow the Five Stages of Systematic Review can be given the label of being a ‘systematic review’. Only those methods that detail an explicit, well defined question, perform a comprehensive search for research, critically assess the quality of research papers, extract and aggregate the findings of the included research papers can be given the label of being a qualitative systematic review.

▼ Introduction HIV testing is an important step in controlling the spread of HIV worldwide. Data from the UNAIDS suggests that about 50% of people living with HIV are unaware of their diagnosis. Canadian estimates suggest that about 25% of HIV infected persons are unaware of their status. Ontario specific estimates suggests that there may be close to 40,000 persons living with HIV in Ontario; however, 27,000 persons are known and documented to be living with HIV in Ontario. The importance of testing and early diagnosis is well documented with evidence demonstrating that early treatment improves outcomes both for infected individuals and the communities they live in. This premise forms the foundation for the highly effective “treatment as prevention” approach. There are currently many HIV testing approaches including serum and saliva-based technologies. Testing can also be categorized based on duration to receipt of test result. With conventional HIV testing, results become available after greater than 24 hours. Rapid testing approaches such as rapid - facility based testing; rapid - location based testing; and rapid - mobile testing ensure results are available within 24 hours and in many cases, within a few minutes. Effectiveness studies of individual approaches have been conducted, however, studies on the cost-effectiveness of the various approaches in Canada are presently lacking. Most of the available economic studies have been conducted in high prevalence low-income countries, and as such, are not entirely applicable to the Canadian experience. Research objectives The overall aim of the thesis is to investigate the program and performance effectiveness, as well as the economic evidence for the use of rapid HIV testing options compared with existing conventional testing options. To achieve this there were three specific objectives, namely: i. To perform a systematic review of the available cost effectiveness evidence of rapid HIV testing approaches. ii. To perform a second systematic review and determine relative effect estimates for the use of available rapid HIV testing approaches versus conventional approaches iii. To determine the cost effectiveness estimates of the use of these testing approaches as they apply to a Canadian context. Results Rapid HIV Testing for improving uptake of HIV/AIDS services in people with HIV Infection - A Systematic Review and Network Meta-analysis HIV testing has evolved to include rapid testing done in hospitals, non-clinical environments such as bathhouses, places of worship, learning environments and in other cases mobile HIV testing options have also been offered using mobile vans or other motorized vehicles. While there is overall evidence from systematic reviews and meta-analysis of the head-to-head benefits of rapid HIV testing compared to conventional HIV testing, there is insufficient evidence of the indirect benefits of the various types of rapid HIV testing based on location of the tests to identify if there is a differential benefit based on the location where the…

▼ Improving the techniques used for the preservation of livers and kidneys for transplantation has the potential to enhance the outcomes of transplant procedures. With an ever increasing demand for suitable organs, we now turn to the use of organs that may once have been considered to have lower success rates. The importance of preventing further damage to these organs during preservation is even greater than for standard organs. National and international guidelines for the use of such techniques in health service provision should be based upon the best level of evidence available; this is a particular challenge in a specialty with relatively few numbers of procedures each year. This thesis describes a cohesive group of complementary studies which analyse the comparative effectiveness of preservation fluids for the cold storage of kidney and liver allografts from deceased donors. It also describes the comparison of hypothermic machine perfusion with static cold storage of kidneys. The systematic reviews carried out have a wider scope than any previously conducted. A novel approach was also taken towards the analysis of survival outcomes after transplantation as described in multiple studies. This work includes an analysis of national registry data that is the only large-scale comparison between Marshall's Solution and University of Wisconsin Solution for kidney preservation. There is limited trial evidence that suggests similarity between the effectiveness of current preservation fluids for kidney preservation, and good evidence that Celsior and University of Wisconsin Solutions are equivalent for liver preservation. Good randomised trial evidence suggests that hypothermic machine perfusion reduces delayed graft function of kidneys. Hypothermic machine perfusion may also result in improved graft survival, but robust evidence is not available for this. The continued use of Marshall's Solution for kidney preservation in the UK results in equivalent adjusted outcomes compared to University of Wisconsin Solution.

Uppsatsen undersöker med en systematisk litteraturöversikt centrala teman inom ledarskapsforskningen mellan åren 1940 och 2010. Finns det någon skillnad mellan äldre (1940-1999) och yngre ledarskapsforskning (2000-2010)? Vidare undersöks typ av artiklar, var de är skrivna och av vem. Uppsatsens analys består av 2815 artiklar som har ordet ”leadership” i titeln, fokus var innehållet i titlarna. Utifrån dem analyserades 3910 ord ur titlarna, resultatet blev nio centrala teman inom nämnd tidsperiod. Centrala teman som hittades var: (1) Individualistiskt/personligt, (2) toppstyrning/hierarkiskt, (3) utveckling/förbättring, (4) kommunikation, (5) socialt, (6) medarbetarskap, (7) värdeord, (8) emotioner och (9) situation/kontext. Toppstyrning/hierarkiskt är vanligare i den äldre forskningen än inom den yngre där medarbetarskap är vanligare. Huvudresultatet är att medarbetarskap är det vanligaste temat. USA är ledande inom ledarskapsforskningen, den kvantitativa metoden är dominerande, och manliga forskare bibehåller den hegemoniska ställningen.

In this systematic literature review, the fundamental themes in leadership research between the years 1940 and 2010 were examined, and if there is any difference between older (1940-1999) and younger leadership research (2000-2010). And what kind of articles where they and written by whom? The analysis consists of 2815 articles; focus was the content of the titles. Based on them the analysis was 3910 words, as resulted in nine fundamental themes from the mentioned period of time. The themes were: (1) Individualistic/personal, (2) top-down/hierarchical, (3) development/ enhancement, (4) communication, (5) social, (6) employeeship, (7) values, (8) emotions, and (9) situation/context. Top-down/ hierarchical is more frequent in the older research than in the younger where employeeship is more common. The main result is that employeeship is the most common theme. The U.S. was behind most of the articles and the quantitative method is dominating the research arena, and the male researchers retain the hegemonic position in leadership research.

▼ This thesis investigates the underlying mechanisms and processes that shape sport sponsorship in Cyprus. A systematic review of the international sport sponsorship literature (1980-2009) is undertaken and used as the guide for the qualitative empirical study concentrating on football sponsorship activity undertaken in Cyprus as a developing sport sponsorship market. The systematic review reveals sponsorship management structures, practices, tendencies, and models adopted at a range of national settings, and discloses contrasts that exist in different contexts. The findings of the systematic review highlight the management practices employed by sponsors, such as their motives, decision-making practices, activation and leveraging initiatives, objectives, and evaluation processes. With regard to the empirical investigation, sponsorship activity is viewed and interpreted within the broader social and cultural context in which it takes place. The analysis of the findings is informed by critical realism paradigm, so that the underlying causal mechanisms and structures shaping (or influencing) sponsorship activity in Cyprus are identified and discussed. Specifically, the findings of study, which focused on the top division of the national professional league, revealed the existence of a sponsorship continuum involving four significantly different sponsorship approaches, ranging from purely philanthropic to heavily rational and commercial. Interestingly, the study revealed the interdependence of global and local processes within the sponsorship-related practices, suggesting that sponsorship arrangements in this specific context are marked culturally by processes of glocalisation. Such processes appeared to be vividly expressed in sponsorship-related projects in Cyprus, and involved an amalgamation of several local and cultural factors such as a strong prevalence of localism, nationalism, political clientelism, and reliance on personal relations. Community pressures seemed to have a central role in sponsorship related decision-making, whilst sponsorship activity appeared also to be influenced by the structure of the sponsors industry, the organisational structure and corporate culture, as well as by the structure and local specificity of the football market in Cyprus. More specifically, competitive imbalance of the national league, politicisation of football, the level of competition within a particular industry, and centrality of authority and control (both organisational and cultural), are additional factors that appeared to impact sponsorship activity in the specific market.

▼ Approximately 800, 000 people die by suicide every year. Moreover, for every fatal outcome approximately 20 people attempt to take their own life. Therefore, increasing our understanding of the vulnerability factors and acute states that trigger suicide and related behaviours is vital in improving suicide prevention efforts and initiatives. This thesis aims to contribute to the evidence base by examining attachment in relation to suicide-related outcomes and, specifically, the role of psychological mechanisms in this relationship. Paper one is a systematic review of quantitative empirical research investigating the role of psychosocial mechanisms in the attachment-suicide relationship. Fifteen papers were identified, most of which carried out mediation analyses. Studies were extremely heterogeneous and there was limited overlap with respect to the psychological mechanisms under investigation. However, there is preliminary evidence that suggests a range of predisposing, precipitating and crisis-state factors mediate the association between attachment styles and suicidality. Studies were critically evaluated and findings were discussed in the context of a developmental model of suicide. Areas for further exploration are considered and clinical implications discussed. Paper two is an original empirical study investigating the mediating role of reflective functioning between adult attachment and suicidality. Sixty-seven participants completed self-report questionnaires measuring adult attachment, suicidal ideation, reflective functioning, depressive symptoms and hopelessness. Mediation analyses did not support an indirect effect of either attachment dimension on suicidal ideation via mentalization impairments. However, a direct relationship was established between avoidant attachment and suicidal ideation. Findings are considered in light of the limitations and cross-sectional methodology. Future research directions are recommended, and clinical implications outlined. Paper three is a critical reflection that aims to provide insight and reflections on the research process. Explanations and justifications of key decisions are offered, and reflections are made in respect to the study design, methodology, recruitment, data analysis and personal experiences of the researcher.

▼ The aim of this thesis was to explore the relationships between the constructs of self-compassion (SC), self-esteem (SE) and recovery in psychosis. It is presented to the reader as three separate papers. 1) A systematic literature review exploring the relationships between SE and the positive symptoms of psychosis, 2) an empirical study investigating SC, SE, recovery in psychosis and positive psychotic symptoms and 3) a critical appraisal and personal reflection of the processes involved in conducting the research.Paper one presents a systematic review of the existing literature that explores the relationships between SE and the positive symptoms of psychosis. Thirty-four articles were identified which met the strict criteria. The evidence was mixed and much of it inconclusive. There was some support for the relationship between SE and delusions, in particular paranoia. The evidence for hallucinations was much less conclusive. Recommendations for future research were suggested as were potential clinical implications which arose from the review.The empirical study presented in paper two explores the relationships between SE, SC and recovery in psychosis, and aimed to assess whether SC was a unique predictor of recovery in psychosis, over and above the impact of SE (using cross-sectional and longitudinal analysis). Further exploratory analysis was conducted to ascertain whether specific positive symptoms of psychosis were related to SC and SE. At baseline, the results indicated that SC did not contribute unique variance in recovery from psychosis over and above that attributable to SE. Longitudinally, SC at baseline was not related to recovery at follow up. Exploratory analysis revealed levels of SE and SC were significantly different in groups who had a presence or absence hallucinations, but not delusions. Methodological strengths and limitations, clinical implications and ideas for future research discussed.Paper three provides the reader with a critical reflection of the processes involved in the undertaking of the two papers presented. Implications for clinical practice are discussed as well as directions for future research. Advisors/Committee Members: Haddock, Gillian.

▼ Systematic reviews aim to produce repeatable, unbiased, and comprehensive answers to clinical questions. Systematic reviews are an essential component of modern evidence based medicine, however due to the risks of omitting relevant research they are highly time consuming to create and are largely conducted manually. This thesis presents a novel framework for partial automation of systematic review literature searches. We exploit the ubiquitous multi-stage screening process by training the classifier using annotations made by reviewers in previous screening stages. Our approach has the benefit of integrating seamlessly with the existing screening process, minimising disruption to users. Ideally, classification models for systematic reviews should be easily interpretable by users. We propose a novel, rule based algorithm for use with our framework. A new approach for identifying redundant associations when generating rules is also presented. The proposed approach to redundancy seeks to both exclude redundant specialisations of existing rules (those with additional terms in their antecedent), as well as redundant generalisations (those with fewer terms in their antecedent). We demonstrate the ability of the proposed approach to improve the usability of the generated rules. The proposed rule based algorithm is evaluated by simulated application to several existing systematic reviews. Workload savings of up to 10% are demonstrated. There is an increasing demand for systematic reviews related to a variety of clinical disciplines, such as diagnosis. We examine reviews of diagnosis and contrast them against more traditional systematic reviews of treatment. We demonstrate existing challenges such as target class heterogeneity and high data imbalance are even more pronounced for this class of reviews. The described algorithm accounts for this by seeking to label subsets of non-relevant studies with high precision, avoiding the need to generate a high recall model of the minority class.

▼ This thesis augments the extant literature into the use of knowledge and rationality in disaster decision-making practice by undertaking a systematic review of the empirical research body in the field. It provides scholars, practitioners and policymakers with a much-needed conceptual map of the key thematic and conceptual directions of research into decision-making practice in disasters. Based on an initial mapping of the thematic content of the body of research, the thesis draws out key trends within the studies in terms of the ways in which social action unfolds in specific disaster-related contexts. This structuring of social action and the influence it has on the decision-making behaviour of the social actors involved has important implications for disaster management as well as policymaking scholarship. This thesis demonstrates that competing theoretical approaches to policymaking, decision-making and disaster management are actually accounts of three different, intersecting dimensions of social action. The argument presented is not so much about the truth or correctness of these claims since they are not in simple opposition to each other. Instead, through the use of disaster management as an exemplar of the domain of public policy practice, this thesis demonstrates that these different dimensions of social action intersect to produce the dynamic, complex set of processes labelled policymaking and decision-making. Further, the thesis argues that since social actors operate within social processes that are structured in different ways, they in turn understand and respond differently to these particular contexts through the use of appropriately situated forms of rationality. In effect, the body of research into disaster decision-making practice demonstrates that social actor comprehension of how social action is structured influences their use of rationality and associated knowledge forms. These rationalities can often be highly contested during the decision-making and policymaking processes but, in fact, reflect the highly contextualised reasoning social actors use to respond to the range of contingencies and challenges they encounter during their everyday social practice.
