▼ The current study aimed to evaluate multiple longitudinal determinants of externalizing behavior problems in twins/triplets aged 7 to 12 years. Specifically, a prospective longitudinal design was utilized to assess relationships between age 5 sleep problems, age 5 temperament traits, and later externalizing problems. Additionally, heritability of sleep problems was assessed by utilizing the twin method, and genetic contributions of two specific genes – DRD4 and 5-HTTLPR – were evaluated. A total of 93 twins/triplets (40 boys and 53 girls) and their parents participated in the current study, and data were collected through self-report, parent-report, and molecular and behavioral genetic methods. Results suggest that sleep disturbances are significantly heritable, and that neither early sleep problems, temperament traits, nor specific genes significantly predicted follow-up externalizing problems. Post-hoc analyses assessing gene X environment interactions showed that externalizing problems were significantly predicted by the interaction between stressful life events and DRD4
risk, which is consistent with differential susceptibility models. This study has implications for future research as well as clinical practice, including for early screening, prevention, and intervention efforts aimed at decreasing childhood externalizing and sleep problems.

▼ Chapter 1: This paper reexamines the apparent success of two prominent stock trading strategies: long-term contrarian and intermediate-term momentum. The paper demonstrates that long-term contrarian is entirely attributable to the classic January size effect, rather than to investor overreaction, as argued by De Bondt and Thaler (1985). Further, the paper also resolves the Novy-Marx (2012) concern about whether return autocorrelation “is really momentum” by demonstrating that the superior performance of intermediate-term momentum is due to strong January seasonality in the cross-section of returns. The implications are that long-term contrarian must be considered largely illusory, and intermediate-term momentum must take account of annual seasonalities in returns.
Chapter 2: Macroeconomic risk continues to be proposed as a source of stock price momentum. For instance, Liu and Zhang (2008) claim that the growth rate of industrial production “plays an important role in driving momentum profits”. This paper shows that the growth rate of industrial production is not the source of momentum profits. Because recent winners and recent losers have nearly identical loadings on the growth rate of industrial production outside of January, there is essentially a net zero factor loading in the 11 months of a year when momentum does exist, and a difference only in January, when losers massively outperform winners. We also document the fact that the growth rate of industrial production is not a priced risk factor outside of January. Moreover, application of the same methodology to all factors reveals no evidence that an explanation for momentum profits lies in macroeconomic risk.
Subjects/Keywords: momentum; contrarian; seasonality; January effects; macroeconomic risk

▼ Phenotypic plasticity can be a strong driver of individual performance in heterogeneous environments and therefore has cascading effects on all levels of ecological organization. In response to predation risk, prey frequently display a variety of plastic responses that reduce their risk of being consumed, often at the expense of their fitness and performance. For example, prey may retreat into refuge habitats that provide increased safety, but incur foraging and growth consequences as a result, though these effects can be context dependent and are likely modified by habitat characteristics such as refuge quality. It is now widely recognized that nonconsumptive predator effects can have substantial impacts on predator/prey interactions and community and ecosystem dynamics. There is growing evidence, however, that the response of prey to predation risk can also be shaped by their direct and indirect past experiences with risk through parental and embryonic effects. Parental and embryonic experience with predation risk may prime organisms for the risk conditions that they are likely to face, and thus have impacts on offspring behavior and performance throughout life history. Despite the potential ecological implications of the parental and embryonic effects of predation risk, their role in shaping predator/prey dynamics remains unexplored in most natural systems.; The research presented here uses a rocky intertidal food chain to examine the ecological role of parental and embryonic exposure to predation risk on offspring behavior and performance across life history. Using this same system, it also explores the effect of refuge quality, as measured by resource abundance, on prey in response to predation risk. In the presence of predation risk from the green crab (<i>Carcinus maenas</i>), the carnivorous snail <i>Nucella lapillus</i> increases its use of refuges, which can reduce access to resources and have negative effects on foraging, growth, and physiology. The experiments conducted in this dissertation show that parental experience with predation risk largely mitigates the negative effects of risk exposure in <i>Nucella</i> offspring across different stages of ontogeny. Moreover, parental and embryonic risk exposures interact to improve offspring growth and physiology as embryos. Finally, within one generation of prey, higher quality refuges improve the performance of prey exposed to predation risk. These findings reveal that the legacy of predation risk, conveyed through both parental and embryonic effects, can provide essential information to offspring that shapes their response to risk, and therefore should be incorporated into our understanding of predator/prey dynamics in order to fully evaluate their role in ecological communities. They also suggest that the quality of refuge habitats available to consumers in natural systems may be integral to the persistence of prey populations.

▼ Assessment, prioritization, and communication of risks of failures of countermeasures over a wide range of flow events can be very effective in the selection and the design of an appropriate countermeasure considering the uncertainty in the performance of a countermeasure in an uncertain complex river system. In this study, a
risk-based approach is developed for assessing, prioritizing, and communicating the risks of failure modes of a bridge scour countermeasure using Failure Modes and
Effects Analysis (FMEA) tool. In FMEA, the risks of failure modes are derived from the severity (S) and occurrence (O) ratings. Widely used approach of
Risk Priority Number (RPN), product of the
risk ratings, is improved to assess risks overcoming the mathematical limitations of
Risk Priority Numbers (RPNs). Another simple and effective approach of assessing risks,
Risk Priority Code (RPC), is used to make a comparison between the RPN and RPC results, and to find out which approach is comparatively more rigorous. The appropriate
risk assessment approach is then used to build
risk matrix.
Risk matrix is a table that maps severity (S) and occurrence (O) ratings to the corresponding
risk priority level. The developed
risk matrix will be able to assess and prioritize the risks of failure modes of a countermeasure using only the qualitative information represented by S and O ratings. An approach of defining and incorporating confidence level in
risk matrix is developed to provide more comprehensiveness and/or completeness to the
risk matrix. Such an approach of developing
risk matrix will enable bridge engineers to use
risk matrix as a basis for making
risk-informed decision. To determine the relative change in a
risk priority level over a range of flow conditions, a study is then carried out focusing on the backwater in the vicinity of a bridge. The backwater is simulated using one dimensional model Hydrologic Engineering Centers River Analysis System (HEC-RAS). The
effects of backwater are defined based on the monitoring survey data. Then, the developed
risk matrix is used to determine any change in the
risk priority level considering the backwater
effects. Such an approach is simple enough to implement in the planning phase to account for the
effects of flood events in the
risk-based approach of selection and design of a countermeasure. Given the unavailability of quantitative information and the limited resources and time, the study results have important implications in the selection of an appropriate countermeasure and/or to pay special attention to certain components of a countermeasure which are at a higher risks in some situations.

Changing Circumstances, Changing Outcomes?: Longitudinal

▼ Emerging research in developmental psychology and
neuroscience suggests that childhood poverty is associated with
high levels of exposure to multiple contextual risks, which
cumulatively lead to persistent elevated stress levels that have a
direct, as well an indirect (e.g., through parental processes),
impact on child cognitive, academic, and socioemotional functioning
(Evans & Kim, 2013). Such research has begun to change the way
that scholars and practitioners envision the context of poverty,
the persistence of the income-achievement gap, and the types of
interventions that may be most effective in addressing disparities
in children’s long-term educational success. However, research on
the relations between poverty-associated stress and child outcomes
is still in its infancy and many questions remain. In particular,
it is unclear whether changing family economic circumstances
matter, a question of concern for developmental science and public
policy. Moreover, there is little work on moderators of relations
between income, stress, and child outcomes, which could help
identify factors that buffer children from the harm of stressful
home environments. With longitudinal data from the Panel Study of
Income Dynamics’ Child Development Supplement, the present study
used fixed
effects models to examine within-child associations
between changes in family income, cumulative
risk exposure (as
measured by an index that includes a range of poverty-related
stressors, such as economic strain, neighborhood crime, and
physical and psychological home environments), and children’s
cognitive, academic and socioemotional functioning. In addition,
moderators of these associations were investigated in order to
identify potential protective mechanisms and crucial levers for
interventions and policy development. On the whole, findings were
consistent with the cumulative stress model. On average, the
estimated direct
effects of changes in family income (i.e., prior
to examining mediation or moderators) were not significant for
changes in child outcomes. Yet, changes in income were, for the
sample as a whole, indirectly related via changes in cumulative
risk exposure: increases in income predicted decreases in
cumulative
risk exposure which, in turn, predicted improvements in
achievement and declines in externalizing behavior. Additionally,
these relations were moderated by child age, initial level of
family income, and initial level of cumulative
risk.

▼ This thesis investigates the Takeo community’s perception of climate change risks and their response strategies. It examines risks occurring in the regions and their impacts on the community. The thesis also explores how the perception of risks frames the community’s adaptation and mitigation strategies as well as how those perceptions influence climate change policies. This research draws on a range of
risk perception theories. Employing a qualitative approach, this study uses semi-structured interviews, document analysis and participant observation as its research methods. Interviews were conducted individually with agricultural practitioners, mothers, community leaders, a local government officer and a government official from the Ministry of Environment.
The thesis found that the Takeo’s community has a good perception of the issue and its impacts on their community. Droughts are the major concern for the majority of respondents, because these have become more severe and have the most direct impact on farmers’ lives, livelihoods and food security. The study reflects the view maintained by past and current theory, that individual perceptions of risks vary, and the perception of
risk is influenced by media and peers. This study adds that farmers’ direct experience of climate change affects their consideration of such risks as an issue of great personal concern.
Perception of climate change influences the community’s responses. Farmers employ a wide range of adaptation strategies such as increasing water storage and improving agricultural techniques. However, adaptation approaches are not enough to provide a long-term solution to the fast changing climate, because the community has limited knowledge of adaptation strategies, resources, and limited support from the government. The community, thus, needs to improve its water management by building more dams and sufficient irrigation that can store enough water for consumption and agriculture in the prolonged dry season. The government should provide more support and services to poor rural communities that rely on agriculture.

▼ In the classic option pricing theory, the market is assumed to be competitive. The relaxation of the competitive market assumption introduces two features: liquidity cost and feedback
effects. In our study, investors in non-competitive markets are divided into two categories: small investors and large investors. Small investors encounter liquidity cost while large investors face both liquidity cost and feedback
effects. Chapter 2 and chapter 3 are dedicated to investigating the option pricing for small investors. In chapter 2, how to perfectly hedge options (including vanilla options and exotic options) under the supply curve model in a geometric Brownian motion model is studied. In Chapter 3, local
risk minimization method is used to pricing European options with liquidity cost in a jump-diffusion model. In chapter 4, utility indifference pricing method is applied to pricing European options for large investors.

▼ This study was undertaken to analyze the effects of credit risk management practices on the performance of Financial Banking Institutions. The study attempted to establish if there exists any relationship between the credit risk management determinants by use of CAMEL indicators and financial performance of commercial banks in Kenya. The study reviewed several literatures in line with the area of study. This review enabled the researcher to demonstrate and familiarize with the area of study. The review also helped identify gaps in previous studies. This study sought to review the effect of credit risk management on the financial performance of commercial banks. The research design used in this study was descriptive research design. The design was appropriate because the study involved an in depth study of credit risk management and the relationship between the two variables i.e. credit risk management and the financial performance of commercial banks was described extensively and this was facilitated by the use of secondary data which was obtained from the Central Bank of Kenya publications on banking sector survey. The study used multiple regression analysis in the analysis of data and the findings have been presented in the form of tables and regression equations. The study found out that there is a strong impact between the CAMEL components on the financial performance of commercial banks. The study also established that capital adequacy management efficiency and liquidity had a strong relationship with financial performance (ROA).The study also established that credit risk had a weak and negative relationship with financial performance (ROA).This study concludes that CAMEL model can be used as a proxy for credit risk management when measuring the financial performance.

▼ The study investigates the regulatory capital effects on the liquidity risk of indigenous Ghanaian banks. The proxy for regulatory capital is the ratio of the sum of tier 1 and tier 2 capital to total assets and the proxy for liquidity risk is 1/ (liquid assets/Total assets). To achieve set objectives of the study, a Pearson correlation was run along with scatter plots to investigate the relationship between the variables of the study for five local commercial banks in Ghana covering the duration 2010 to 2017.
The outcome of the correlation coefficient and the various graphs of these banks from 2010 to 2017 show that regulatory capital has an indirect relationship with liquidity risk of the local commercial banks. Hence, a rise in the regulatory capital will lead to a decline in the liquidity risk of the banks and a decline in the regulatory capital will increase the liquidity risk of the banks.
The result also showed that regulatory capital has a direct or positive correlation with profitability of the various banks used in the study from 2010 to 2017. This is evident in the results of the scatter plots and the correlation coefficients between the regulatory capital and the profitability measures. This implies, a rise in the regulatory capital will increase the profitability of these banks whereas a decline in the regulatory capital, will lead to a fall in the profit levels of these banks.
On the outcome of these results, the study recommends the managers of the various commercial banks put in much effort to have adequate regulatory capital required of them because it tends to have a positive effect on profits but negative on liquidity risk.

▼ The present study examined the impact of college freshmen's sexual media diets (SMD) on the perception of their peers' sexual activity, endorsement of the hookup culture (EHC), hookup experiences, and sexual
risk-taking behaviors. A panel method approach was taken to investigate the influence of exposure to sexual media content across six different media formats (TV, movies, music, magazines, Internet, and social networking sites) on peer influence and sexual attitudes and behaviors. Likewise, the mediating effect of both peer influence and EHC were explored on the relationships between (a) SMD and hookup experiences and (b) SMD and sexual
risk taking. Lastly, the moderating
effects of gender, wishful identification, self-efficacy, alcohol consumption, concern for safe sex, number of sex partners, and relationship status were measured on the main relationships. Results revealed that college freshmen who had high levels of exposure to sexual media content were more likely to accept the norms and expectations of the hookup culture, overestimate their peers' sexual activity, participate in hookup experiences, and engage in more sexual
risk taking. The relationship between (a) SMD and hookup experiences as well as (b) SMD and sexual
risk taking was mediated through EHC. Additionally, college freshmen who had less concern for safe sex, lower levels of self-efficacy, more sex partners, and who consumed higher volumes of alcohol were more likely to engage in sexual
risk-taking behaviors.

▼ Top predators can suppress their smaller guild members and this can have profound consequences that cascade throughout the larger community. Suppression is mediated primarily through interference competition: (a) direct aggressive interactions, and (b) behavioral avoidance by mesopredators to minimize risks of encountering top predators. These avoidance responses can be costly, especially when they result in large-scale displacement that reduces access of the subordinate species to resources. However, fine-scale avoidance strategies may promote mesopredator persistence by minimizing risk without costly large-scale displacement. This dissertation explores the role of behavioral avoidance in driving intraguild predator dynamics. Specifically, I examine how African lions affect spotted hyenas, cheetahs, and African wild dogs in Serengeti National Park, Tanzania. Long-term lion monitoring by the Serengeti Lion Project provides a high-resolution understanding of how lions interact with each other and the landscape; I deployed a large-scale camera trapping survey to collect fine-scale spatial data on the broader carnivore community. Chapter 1 reveals that although lions displace African wild dogs from the landscape and suppress their populations, cheetahs persist with lions through space and time. Chapter 2 validates the camera trapping survey designed to study fine-scale carnivore avoidance and highlights the broad utility of citizen science for similar ecological projects. Chapter 3 applies the camera trapping survey to reveal that fine-scale avoidance does not always translate into costly spatial displacement for subordinate species. Together, these chapters identify large-scale displacement as a key driver of mesopredator suppression and fine-scale avoidance as a key mechanism for mesopredator persistence. This dissertation further establishes new methods to continue exploring community dynamics for long-lived, wide-ranging species.

▼ Personalised medicine is replacing the one-drug-fits-all approach with many prognostic models incorporating biomarkers available for risk stratifying patients. Evidence has been emerging that the effects of biomarkers change over time and therefore violate the assumption of proportional hazards when performing Cox regression. Analysis using the Cox model when the assumptions are invalid can result in misleading conclusions. This thesis reviews existing approaches for the analysis of non-proportional effects with respect to survival data. A number of well-developed approaches were identified but to date their uptake in practice has been limited. There is a need for more widespread use of flexible modelling to move away from standard analysis using a Cox model when the assumption of proportional hazards is violated. Two novel approaches were applied to investigate the impact of follow-up duration on two residual risk models, IHC4 and Mammostrat, for predicting risk in early breast cancers using two studies with different lengths of follow up; the Edinburgh Breast Conservation Series (BCS) and the Tamoxifen versus Exemestane Adjuvant Multinational (TEAM) trial. Similar results were observed between the two approaches that were considered, the multivariable fractional polynomial time (MFPT) approach and Royston-Parmer flexible parametric models, with their respective advantages and disadvantages being discussed. The analyses identified a strong time-varying effect of IHC4 score with the prognostic effect of IHC4 score on time-to distant recurrence decreasing with increasing follow-up time. Mammostrat score identified a group of patients with an increased risk of distant recurrence over full follow-up in the TEAM and Edinburgh BCS cohorts. The results suggest a combined IHC4 and Mammostrat risk score could provide information on the risk of recurrence and warrants further study.

▼ This dissertation analyzes the perception of flood risk as captured in property prices and in the decision of buying flood insurance. First, we examine whether property price differentials reflecting flood risk increase following a large
flood event, and whether this change is temporary or permanent. We use single family residential property sales in Dougherty County, Georgia, between 1985 and 2004 in a difference-in-differences spatial hedonic model framework. After the 1994 “flood of
the century,” prices of properties in the 100-year floodplain fell significantly. This effect was, however, short-lived. In spatial hedonic models that explicitly incorporate both linear and non-linear temporal flood-zone effects, we show that the flood
risk discount disappeared between four to nine years after the flood depending upon the specification. Second, in addition to knowing whether a property lies in the floodplain, we use a unique dataset with the actual inundation maps for the city of
Albany, GA, to estimate the changes in implicit flood risk premium following the 1994 flood in Georgia. We find that the discount for properties in the inundated area is substantially larger than in comparable properties in the floodplain areas that did
not get inundated. This suggests that, in addition to capturing an information effect, the larger discount in inundated properties reflects potential uninsurable flood damages, and supports a hypothesis that homeowners respond better to what they have
visualized (“seeing is believing”). Third, we determine the market penetration rate for flood insurance in Georgia. Additionally, we estimate a fixed effects model pooling the data from 1978 to 2010 across 153 counties in Georgia to identify the
determinants that influence the decision to buy flood insurance at the county level. The empirical analysis supports the hypothesis that income and price significantly influence the decision to buy the flood insurance. Our findings also suggest that
recent flood events and the proportion of the county in the floodplain have a significant positive impact on the decision to buy flood insurance. Education level, race and age also have a significant impact on the decision to buy flood
insurance.

▼ Home country effects on internationalization has been conventionally conceived as a contrast to the pull of host countries determinants. While scholarship acknowledges that home country support matters more to internationalizing emerging market multinational enterprises, the focus of extant literature has been underpinned by assumptions of stable macro-level and unidirectional institutional support for the internationalization of firms. This thesis contrasts with previous studies by repositioning the conversation to incorporate the temporal dimension, and investigate the multi-level relationships across institutions, industries and markets in the home country and the varied effects on internationalization. Chinese agrifood investment to advanced economies from 2008 to 2017 against the backdrop of rebalancing and consumption-led growth economy is the phenomenon and research context. The overarching research question is “How do home country effects shape the internationalization of Chinese firms?”. This is addressed in four contextual and case study chapters. Drawing on interdisciplinary literature and applying an abductive research process, I developed a dynamic home country relational model to study the internationalization process of Chinese firms that enriches existing process and institutional frameworks. There are four central findings presented in this thesis. First, home country support engenders different meanings constructed by heterogeneous dispensers and recipients who adopt discretionary selection in a competitive environment. Second, experienced agrifood firms have learned to deliberately avoid controversial farmland purchases and targeted downstream businesses in advanced economies to access resources and gain management skills. Third, wealthy non-agricultural Chinese groups lacking in specialized industry knowledge, face compounded challenges diversifying into agrifood sector and internationalizing simultaneously. Fourth, risk perception and risk mitigation have accentuated as internationalization of Chinese firms evolved, shifting from self-checking to tightening of regulatory controls and reinforced by businesses’ confirmation of support. This study has enhanced the understanding of evolving institutions, and the nuances and irregularity of internationalization processes through the explanation of complex interactions and responses from the perspective of home country actors.

▼ Introduction: The older adult population is rapidly increasing, and overweight and obesity prevalence is fast rising in older people globally. It is unclear whether excess body weight in older age reduces or increases the risk of incident dementia and whether it prolongs survival. Evidence of the risk factors for overweight and obesity in older age is scarce. This thesis investigated the risk factors and health effects of overweight and obesity in older age, with a focus on their impacts on incident dementia and all-cause mortality. Methodology: This study employed a mixed method of quantitative and qualitative approaches that are based on a large cohort study dataset from China and two focus group discussions from the United Kingdom. The cohort consisted of 3,336 participants in total: 1,736 aged >= 65 years recruited from urban areas in 2001 and 1,600 aged>=60 years from rural areas in 2003 in Anhui province, China. In the standard methods of interview, they were documented for sociodemographic, lifestyle, social network, disease, and other risk factors at the baseline survey. Body Mass Index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) were measured, and dementia was diagnosed by the GMS-AGECAT for each of the participants. The cohort members were followed up for 10 years to monitor mortality and examine the cause of death. There were three waves of interview for surviving cohort members during the follow up to document incident dementia apart from the causes of mortality. The data of the Anhui cohort study were analysed in multivariate Logistic and Cox regression models. Two focus groups research were conducted in Wolverhampton UK. It included 12 twelve older adults who were recruited from the community through their place of worship. The focus group data were collected in a digital audiotape. They were transcribed verbatim and analysed thematically. Findings: The data from the cohort wave three surveys showed that the risk factors for overweight and obesity in older people included female gender, low education, low income, residing in urban areas, being married, watching TV/reading newspapers, and hypertension at baseline. Over the 10-year follow-up, 271 participants were diagnosed as having incident dementia. The continuous BMI at baseline increased the risk of incident dementia (multivariate-adjusted odds ratio (OR) 1.06, 95%CI 1.00-1.11). There was no significant increase in OR in participants who were overweight (1.34, 0.91-1.98) and obese (1.52, 0.86-2.70) when compared to normal weight, but separate data by gender showed that dementia risk was significantly increased in men with overweight (3.09, 1.65-5.77) and obesity (4.19, 1.75-10.03) and not in women (0.74, 0.43-1.27; 0.72, 0.32-1.64). The prediction was similar regardless of different adiposity measures used; the risk of dementia was elevated in non-smokers with obesity measured by BMI (4.28, 1.46-12.53) and in non-smokers with waist circumference classed as action level two (3.19, 1.04-9.77). The Anhui cohort data did not show significantly reduced mortality…

▼ As part of planning and performing financial statement audits, auditors are required to make judgments regarding client
risk. These judgments permeate the audit process, driving decisions regarding client acceptance, audit pricing, the extent of audit testing, and the nature of auditors' written opinions. Although auditors may aim to assess each client's
risk independently, prior research suggests individuals' draw on their idiosyncratic experiences and environments for benchmarks against which to contrast the case at hand. These "contrast
effects" can result in judgments that deviate from those that would be reached using normative principles and may cause bias in auditors' assessment of client
risk. Consistent with this theory, the archival evidence presented in this paper shows that, after controlling for clients' actual
risk levels, auditors perform more (less) conservative audits and charge higher (lower) audit fees when clients appear riskier (less risky) in the context of other clients audited by the same practice office. Moreover, clients
subject to increased (decreased) conservatism and higher (lower) audit fees due to auditors' biases are more (less) likely to switch auditors during the following period.

▼ Predators impact community structure and stability by altering the abundance, distribution, and behavior of their prey and through the cascading effects that these changes have on other trophic levels. However, the effects of predators on food-web dynamics may be changing and becoming less predictable as ecosystems become increasingly polluted by anthropogenically-produced chemicals. This research investigates how an emerging class of contaminants – pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) – can influence predator-prey interactions by interfering with predator consumptive (i.e. prey consumption) and non-consumptive (i.e. prey behavior) effects on prey. Specifically, a predator consumption experiment was conducted to assess how three common PPCPs – caffeine, DEET, and triclosan – affect mosquito fish predation on mosquito larvae, and an oviposition experiment was performed to determine how these three PPCPs influence the effects of predator cues (mosquito fish cues) on mosquito egg raft deposition, larval abundance, and adult emergence. I demonstrate how all three PPCPs, individually and combined as a mixture, reduced mosquito predator consumption rates. The presence of predator cues reduced mosquito oviposition and larval abundance for all PPCP treatments except for DEET. Predator cues reduced mosquito adult emergence across PPCP treatments, however, mosquitoes that were exposed to caffeine did not emerge as adults even in the absence of predator cues. This study shows that the effects of PPCPs and mosquito predators together cannot be predicted by their individual effects on mosquitoes, and it addresses the need to investigate the complex interactions between biologically active PPCPs and biological cues on contaminated communities.

▼ This thesis examined how a universally delivered school-based injury prevention program targeting alcohol-use, violence, and transport- risks was relevant to delinquent year 9 adolescents. The studies examined factors influencing implementation and outcomes. A delinquency classification method was developed and the influence of maturation and the intervention on trajectories of delinquent involvement were examined. Underlying principles that could be applied to other health promotion interventions for delinquents were identified. The program was found to reduce medically-treated injury experience and the transport-risk for delinquents over a six month period. The findings have implications for school-based program design and implementation for delinquent adolescents.

▼ Objective
The primary objective of the study was to evaluate the
effects of communication style on
risk perception of medication side
effects. Secondary objective was to evaluate the effect of
risk perception and communication style on intention to adhere to medications.
Methods
The study was an experimental cross-sectional and factorial design. Participants were exposed to information on four medications and each associated with a side effect. The description of the side effect was presented in one of eight combinations from a 2 (communication style: verbal or verbal combined with numeric) X 2 (frequency: low or high) X 2 (severity: mild or severe), factorial design. The three factors acted as independent variables. Dependent variables of perceptions of
risk of experiencing side
effects and intention to adhere to medication was recorded for each of the four side
effects on a Visual Analogue Scale ranging from 0 to 100. Demographic information on age, gender, education, profession (healthcare/non-healthcare) and race was also recorded. Data was coded and analyzed using SAS Version 9.3 at an apriori significance level of 0.05. Multivariate analysis or covariance was performed to test the
effects of communication style severity and frequency on
risk perception and intention to adhere. Separate univariate analyses tests were also performed to test the
effects of the three dependent variables on the two independent variables.
Results
A total of 196 completed surveys were obtained giving a response rate of 81.6%. MANCOVA results indicated that communication style did not show any significant main
effects but showed significant
effects in interaction with frequency [F (3,772) = 10.43; p<0.001]. Significant
effects were also observed for frequency of side
effects [F (3,772) = 169.93; p<0.001], severity of side
effects [F (3,772) = 98.33; p<0.001] as well as their interaction [F (3,772) = 44.30; p<0.001]. Separate univariate ANCOVAs also showed same
effects for
risk perception. Frequency of side
effects showed the maximum
effects from all the three factors. Although overall interaction of communication style, frequency and severity was not significant, least square means for
risk perception showed that
effects of communication style were significant only for certain combinations of severity of frequency. It was observed that for low frequency severe side
effects, perceptions of
risk decreased when combination of verbal and numeric descriptions were used to communicate the side effect
risk as compared to only verbal communication style [Mean difference = 11.24, p=0.0008]. For high frequency mild side
effects, perceptions of
risk increased when combined communication style was used as compared to only verbal communication style [Mean difference = 7.80, p=0.0203].
Risk perception was found to be negatively associated with intention to adhere [β=0.61, p<0.0001]. There were no
effects of communication style on intention to adhere. However intention to adhere was observed to decrease with increase in frequency and severity of…

farmaceutske prakse / Pharmacy - Social pharmacy and pharmacy
practice research
Izdavanje lekova, jedna od osnovnih aktivnosti u
farmaceutskoj praksi, predstavlja proces koji je rizičan i sklon
nastanku grešaka, zbog čega potencijalno moţe ugroziti bezbednost
pacijenata. Sa porastom nivoa svesti o značaju ovog problema, došlo
je i do povećanja broja studija u ovoj oblasti tokom protekle
decenije, koje su primarno fokusirane na ispitivanje incidence,
tipova i uzroka propusta u izdavanju lekova. Ipak, sa razvojem
modernog pristupa medicinskim greškama, u sve većoj meri se
naglašava značaj proaktivnog upravljanja rizicima, pre nanošenja
štete pacijentu. Primena alata za prospektivnu analizu rizika već
je počela u velikom broju procesa zdravstvene zaštite, uključujući
izdavanje lekova. Ipak, ove studije se uglavnom sprovode u
bolnicama, dok ih na primarnom nivou gotovo uopšte nema, posebno u
javnim apotekama, gde se najvećem broju pacijenata vrši izdavanje
lekova. Ova doktorska disertacija imala je za cilj sprovoĎenje
prospektivnih sistemskih analiza rizika u procesima izdavanja
lekova u javnim apotekama u Republici Srbiji i SR Nemačkoj, radi
identifikacije potencijalnih grešaka, kvantifikacije i rangiranja
prioriteta pridruţenih rizika, kao i definisanja korektivnih mera
za smanjenje rizika za bezbednost pacijenata. Cilj je takoĎe bilo
sprovoĎenje komparativne analize dobijenih rezultata u Republici
Srbiji, kao zemlji u razvoju, i SR Nemačkoj, kao razvijenoj zemlji.
Analize načina (oblika) i efekata otkaza (FMEA) su sprovedene u
periodu od januara do maja 2016. godine u Republici Srbiji i u
oktobru 2016. godine u SR Nemačkoj. Najpre su multidisciplinarni
timovi, koji su se sastojali od moderatora i eksperata u izdavanju
lekova, primenom tehnike „oluja ideja‖ kreirali dijagram toka
analiziranog procesa, i identifikovali potencijalne greške, zajedno
sa njihovim uzrocima i posledicama. Zatim je izvršena
kvantifikacija pridruţenih rizika, izračunavanjem broja prioriteta
rizika (RPN) za svaku potencijalnu grešku, na osnovu njene
ozbiljnosti, učestalosti i detektabilnosti. Najzad, definisane su
korektivne mere i njihovi potencijalni efekti su procenjeni za
greške sa najvišim vrednostima RPN-ova. Identifikovane greške,
korektivne mere, kao i potencijal za smanjenje rizika u Republici
Srbiji i SR Nemačkoj su zatim uporeĎeni sprovoĎenjem kvalitativne
komparativne analize...

▼ During a risk assessment undertaken in a factory dealing with fiber reinforced plastic products in the northwestern part of Peninsular Malaysia, styrene was identified as the most potential hazard in the factory. It was therefore chosen to focus the rest of the risk assessment on this chemical. The purpose of this risk assessment was to find out which negative health effects styrene could have on the factory workers, especially on the laminators who are dealing daily with styrene at a close range during lamination through hand lay-up. This was investigated theoretically through a literature research and practically through measurements of styrene in the air in the factory. The styrene doses were measured on two occasions at several distances away from the potential sources. These measurements were high compared with dose-response relationships found in the literature and various national occupational exposure limit values with regards to styrene. The calculated risk quotient (RQ) was also greater than one and it is therefore likely that styrene has negative health effects on the workers in the factory. The various negative health effects identified in the literature were then included in a risk matrix were they were ranked according to the probability that they would have a negative effect on the factory workers. Hearing- and colourvision effects were ranked as very likely, effects on the central nervous system and the respiratory system as well as livertoxicity were classified as likely and genotoxicity was ranked as a possible negative health effect. In the future it would be interesting to talk to the current laminators and do health check-ups to see if they are suffering from any of the suggested negative health effects. It would also be interesting to follow them on a longterm basis to see if their health is changing and if this can be linked to the styrene handling in the factory.
Vid en riskbedömning i en fabrik i nordvästra Malaysia identifierades styren som den största hälsofaran för fabriksarbetarna, framförallt laminerarna eftersom de ofta hanterar styren på nära håll. Det valdes därför att fokusera den resterande riskbedömningen just på styren och dess möjliga negativa hälsoeffekter. Syftet med studien var att ta reda på om styren kan ha en negativ effekt på fabriksarbetarnas hälsa. Detta undersöktes teoretiskt genom en litteraturstudie och praktiskt genom mätningar av styrenhalten i fabriken. Vid två tillfällen mättes styrenhalten i fabriken. De uppmätta halterna jämfördes sedan med de dos-responssamband som funnits vid litteraturstudien, samt med olika nationella hygieniska gränsvärden för styren. De uppmätta värdena visade sig vara höga jämfört med de funna i litteraturen. Det bidrog tillsammans med den beräknade riskkvoten som visade sig vara större än ett, till slutsatsen att styren har en negativ effekt på fabriksarbetarnas hälsa. De möjliga negativa hälsoeffekter som identifierats i litteraturen rangordnas med hjälp av en riskmatris enligt sannolikheten att de…

▼ Riskanalysverktyget failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) som analyserar kompo-nenter och signaler är beroende av att designen av fordonets elsystem finns tillgängligt och utförs därför sent i utvecklingsprocessen av elsystem. Detta medför att vissa fel inte analyseras i tid och kanske måste designas bort i efterhand vilket kan leda till ökad sy-stemkomplexitet samt längre och dyrare utvecklingsprocesser.Målet med examensarbetet är att genom en litteraturstudie ta reda på om det finns me-toder eller arbetssätt som gör att Scania tidigt i utvecklingsprocessen av elsystem kan genomföra funktionsanalyser i sitt riskanalysarbete med FMEA samt analysera dessa.Resultatet av detta examensarbete visar att det är möjligt att påbörja FMEA-arbetet tidigt i utvecklingsprocessen av elsystem om ingenjörerna utgår från ett funktionsperspektiv i riskanalysarbetet där de listar och rangordnar de funktioner som tillsammans realiserar en eller flera funktionaliteter samt deras felmoder, feleffekter, feldetektering, allvarlighet, sannolikhet och frekvens. Med hjälp av en FFMEA kan ingenjörerna tidigt i utveck-lingsprocessen av elsystem snabbt och effektivt hantera de identifierade säkerhetskritiska funktionerna.En befintlig funktionalitet på Scania har brutits ned i funktioner och en FFMEA har genomförts på dessa som en demonstration på hur en FFMEA kan genomföras och se ut.
The risk analysis tool failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) that analyzes the com-ponents and signals of a electrical system is design dependent and are therefore per-formed late in the development process of electrical systems. This could lead to that some errors are not analyzed in time and may need to be designed away which can lead to increased system complexity as well as longer and more expensive development proc-esses.The objective of this study is that through a literature review identify if there are any methods or approaches that enables Scania to implement a functional hazard analyzes early in the development process of electrical systems and to analyze these.The results of this thesis shows that it is possible to start the FMEA process early in the development process of the electrical system if the engineers have a functional perspec-tive in mind when performing the risk analysis where they list and rank the functions that is provided by the electrical system and their failure modes, failure effects, failure de-tection, severity, probability and occurrence.By using a function based FMEA, the engineer(s) can identify and promptly handle the safety critical functions early in the development process of a electrical system.A existing functionality at Scania has been broken down into functions and a functional hazard analysis has been performed on these as a demonstration of how a function based FMEA can be carried out and look like.

Caribou in Canada: Ecology and Policy.

▼ Caribou (Rangifer tarandus L.) populations in Canada
are threatened by climate change and anthropogenic landscape
disturbance, which may negatively affect caribou energetics and
range occupancy, with negative consequences for vital rates.
Caribou are the basis of economy and spirituality for Northern
Peoples and embody numerous non-use values, but industrial
incursions into caribou range are largely unchecked. Hence, the
goal of this thesis was to examine broad- and fine-scale drivers of
caribou population change, as well as explore the efficacy of
existing management and conservation of caribou in Canada. I
investigated mechanisms by which climate change and industrial
disturbance influence caribou population change. Non-migratory
caribou were negatively influenced by apparent competition with
predators and alternate prey facilitated by industrial landscape
change. Migratory caribou body condition and reproductive capacity
were negatively influenced by climate-driven changes in plant and
insect phenology. Arctic island-dwelling caribou were negatively
affected by starvation associated with climate-driven rain-on-snow
events. I explored how summer plant productivity and winter snow
conditions influenced maternal condition, fetal weight, and antler
weight in barren-ground caribou. Maternal body condition and fetal
weight in March were positively influenced by previous summer’s
plant productivity, whereas winter snow conditions did not
adequately explain variation in fetal size or maternal condition.
Antler weight in male and female barren-ground caribou was
positively influenced by the previous summer’s plant productivity
as well as by snow conditions. Finally, I compared Canada’s
Species-at-Risk legislation to the ecological needs of threatened
boreal caribou. Old growth boreal forest was emphasized as
essential for the species’ persistence, but the Federal Recovery
Strategy did not identify critical habitat spatially. Moreover,
habitat protection was a provincial/territorial, rather than
federal, responsibility and there was no legal obligation for the
provinces to protect caribou habitat. While there exists little
means by which to mitigate the effects of climate change on
caribou, anthropogenic disturbance-related population declines can
be managed by limiting industrial incursions into caribou
range.

▼ Prostate cancer is the most common cancer among
Canadian men. The standard treatment in high-risk category is
radical radiation, with androgen suppression treatment (AST).
Significant disease progression is reported despite this approach.
Radiation dose escalation has been shown to improve disease-free
survival; however, it results in higher toxicities.
Hypofractionated radiation schedules (larger dose each fraction in
shorter overall treatment time) are expected to deliver higher
biological doses. A hypofractionated scheme was used in this study
to escalate radiation doses with AST. Treatment was well tolerated
acutely. Early results of self-administered quality of life
reported by patients shows a decrease in QOL which is comparable to
other treatment schedules. Significant positional variation of the
prostate was observed during treatment. Therefore, we suggest daily
target verification to avoid a target miss. Initial late effects
are reasonable and early treatment outcomes are promising. Longer
follow-up is required for full outcomes assessments.

▼ Chemical exposures threaten the health of freshwater ecosystems worldwide. In particular, endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are of concern because of their ability to cause sub-lethal effects on organisms at low, including environmentally relevant, concentrations. The susceptibility of fish populations to the effects of these chemicals depends on exposure risk, physiological susceptibility, and population resilience. Population models can explicitly incorporate these factors into environmental risk assessments (ERAs) to improve realism and identify potentially vulnerable species. In this thesis, modelling tools were developed and evaluated for the three-spined stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus) to advance understanding of the ecological relevance of EDC effects. The thesis begins with a critical review of the current status of EDCs in freshwater ecosystems worldwide and their effects on individual fish and their populations. The potential for different modelling techniques to provide realistic ecological assessments for EDCs is then explored. Individual-based models (IBMs) are used throughout this thesis to provide case study specific chemical assessments. Reproductive endpoints, including disruption of breeding behaviours, are used to extrapolate EDC effects from individuals to the population level. Findings included the importance of considering behavioural endpoints within chemical assessments, since disruption of breeding behaviours caused significant reductions in population abundance. Moreover, it was identified that the breeding strategy of the stickleback makes it particularly vulnerable to chemicals which directly affect reproductive output. The chemical exposure regime and density dependent processes determined whether the population recovered post-exposure. Empirical experimental exposures were used to investigate the interactive effects of EDC exposure and food limitation on somatic growth in early life stages. An energy budget model was then developed and used to further explore the mechanisms underlying this observed effect. The combined empirical and modelling results suggested that fish can adapt their physiology (by reducing physical activity) to cope with the effects of multiple stressors. Finally, in order to explicitly incorporate environmental conditions into population level assessments, a model was developed combining the energy budget model with the stickleback IBM. This model allows analyses on direct effects of the EDC as well as the additional metabolic effects associated with the chemical exposure. The effects of two case study EDCs (an oestrogen and an androgen) on individual fecundity were simulated in low and high food availability environments in order to explore how environmental conditions affect population susceptibility. The findings illustrate that the underlying mechanism of the EDC effect and environmental conditions can affect the susceptibility of populations to EDC exposures. This thesis has developed novel models for use by both researchers and risk assessors for…

▼ This paper attempts to present and analyze problems that may arise from the use of Genetically Modified (GM) products and issues raised by the Intellectual Property (IP) rights that Genetic Engineering (GE) companies have on their products. Arguments in favor and against the existence of health risks and environmental risks of GM products are presented. The European policy of the socioeconomic effects of the GM products is discussed and is proposed the application of the precautionary principle for the prevention of unintended consequences from the GM products to other than health and environmental domains. The need of IP rights is supported, but is also suggested an IP rights flexibility. Do IP rights violate the rights of all people to a nourishing life, natural resources, the right to decide about what they eat and the right to live in a viable ecosystem? Finally, I provide an analysis of the effects on the farmers due to the IP rights on GM crop for cultivation and state dependency issues that may occur.

▼ Self-affirmation is a psychological process in which individuals draw upon important aspects of their self-concept to maintain a positive evaluation of themselves. Previous work has found that self-affirmation can reduce biased processing of information that conflicts with individuals’ prior beliefs or political ideology. However, little research has examined the effect of self-affirmation in the domain of climate change communication.

▼ Quick and accurate prediction of seismic demand of tall buildings is one of the toughest tasks for engineers in civil industry. Nonlinear response time history analysis method (NLRHA) is currently considered as the most accurate and rigorous method, but the computation consumption is exceptionally high. The conventional pushover procedures, in which the building is treated as a single degree of freedom system, are not capable of reasonably estimating seismic demands of mid- to high rise-buildings, due to an over-simplification of the multi-mode effect and the complexity of seismic performance of buildings. In this study, an efficient, yet accurate, method of analysis, named spectrum-based pushover analysis (SPA) method, is proposed for the quick estimate of seismic demands of tall buildings. In the proposed SPA procedure, the very complex and complicated dynamic coupling effect of different modes of the nonlinear seismic performance of the building is simplified and the consecutive pushover technique is adopted to consider the simplified coupling effect. The SPA procedure is then modified to include the impact of the wall-frame interaction in dual wall frame structures for the fast prediction of the earthquake-induced deformations. The SPA procedure is further applied for the quick estimate of the tall buildings with singly symmetric building plans, by including the torsional effect. Finally, the SPA is extended to predict the earthquake-induced forces of the structures. Comparison of the seismic demands of tall buildings with different structural types from the NLRHA method, the modal pushover analysis (MPA) method, the consecutive modal pushover analysis (CMP) method and the proposed SPA procedures are conducted. It can be seen from the comparison of the results that the SPA method is capable of predicting the seismic demand of buildings, such as inter-storey drift ratio, hinge plastic rotation, shear force and bending moment accurately and the predictions are very close to those obtained from NLRHA. The SPA procedures are efficient and effective in estimating the seismic demands of building structures and the computation procedure of SPA procedures is simple. Additonally, the roof displacement calculation procedure is spectrum-based, which is user-friendly to engineers. Owing the impressive advantages of the SPA method, it is believed that the proposed SPA procedure can be one of the best alternatives of the NLRHA method in the fast estimate of seismic demands of tall buildings.
