Abstract:
Age Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) and Central Retinal Vein Occlusion (CRVO) are the rare and leading cause of blindness among patients with ocular problem. Many proteins are reported in the progression of these ocular disorders. Proteins which are directly involved in the development of this disorder reported in the literature, their sequence related information retrieved from biological databases. In silico technique was implemented in order to characterize the properties and structures of the proteins using ProtParam. For studying about the potential phosphorylation sites in protein generally NetPhos server was used whereas for denoting the location of signal peptide cleavage sites and their presence the server which is used is SingalP server. For prediction of secondary structure prediction of proteins is done by using SOPMA. The SOSUI server performs the identification of trans-membrane regions. The 3D dimensional structure was modeled using Swiss Model Workspace and Modeller. Ramachandran plot was used to validate the stereochemical properties of the predicted structures because it is a very important step after 3D structure prediction. Docking of screened phytochemicals with selected proteins was performed by AutoDock. Docking study revealed that Curcumin (binding energy: -8.35) and Berberine (binding energy: -7.14) can be used as better therapeutic lead molecule for the cure of CRVO and AMD respectively.

Abstract:
Humans are considered one of the most important components of the environment, which Freon affects indirectly, by creating a danger to the environment in which they live, which may prevent them from living in the environment as a result of its destruction, in addition to its direct danger through its negative impact on human health, through When a person smells this gas, this leads to serious effects on the functioning of the lungs and leads to a malfunction in the functioning of all body systems. It also has a significant impact on genes, as it has the ability to cause damage to them, and it leads to a weakening of the immune system as a result of harmful rays from Space, which makes humans vulnerable to many diseases, so there is great importance in preventing them and providing first aid methods when they occur.

Abstract:
Malaria is one of the most problematic diseases that human being has ever confronted. The quest for an effective, robust vaccine has been going on for more than a century. The whole Plasmodium sporozoites vaccine strategy has proven to be the best approach for eliciting up to 70% protection and for up to 6 months after the last immunization. Most of the robust vaccines that we have nowadays against several microbiological organisms are given by either oral or nasal routes. Infectivity and immunogenicity of Plasmodium berghei ANKA and P. yoelii Nigeriensis sporozoites have never been tested against BALB/c or C57BL/6 mice after being inoculated via oral and nasal routes. Results of this study show that inoculation of sporozoites of the species P. berghei or P. yoelii into BALB/c or C57BL/6 mice are infective and immunogenic. Furthermore, there was a cross-reactivity between the two parasite species when tested against several synthetic peptides. These findings shed light on the importancy of the oral and nasal canal as routes for experimentations of the immunization regime. The large subunit vaccines development concentrated on the erythrocytic stage of malaria parasites has generated disappointing results, Therefore, there is currently a renewed focus on the whole Plasmodium blood stage parasite. In the current study, we aim to assess whether it is possible to obtain a living, whole entity of the blood stage that can be kept alive under minimal conditions and ideally without cryopreservation which could be used in developing countries a live, whole organism blood stage vaccine. we examined the viability as well as the invasiveness potency of Plasmodium falciparum parasites after being isolated from RBCs and incubated at 37˚C and RT. We showed here that the Plasmodium parasites were able to retain their invasiveness for 16 days despite being incubated at far lower temperature (at RT) than the optimal temperature. Also we showed that the Plasmodium falciparum at late trophozoites and early schizonts were capable to remain viable for 10 months (nearly 300 days) outside the RBCs at RT. The diversity of malaria disease in animals is larger ecologically and systematically than we commonly expected. The Plasmodium genus is a member within the order Haemosporidia, is consider one of the largest genus in this order, and currently encompass more than 250 Plasmodium species. Most of these species have only been defined morphologically. Most animals show simultaneous infections with more than one species of Plasmodium and most species descriptions originated from such multiple infections, which prevents the molecular characterization of most Plasmodium species as sequence data cannot be assigned to particular morphospecies. We have successfully developed genus- and species-specific FISH probes based on the small and large ribosomal subunit for Plasmodium falciparum as a proof of concept for the interrogation of animal morphospecies of Plasmodium parasites. This will open up the future for molecular screening of animal malaria, not only in blood samples but also in fecal samples, and might lead to a better understanding of the epidemiology and ecology of malaria parasites in many animal species in temperate and in tropical regions.

Lalor, Kay. "Uneven encounters and paradoxical rights : embodiment and difference in sexual orientation rights and activism." Thesis, University of Westminster, 2012. https://westminsterresearch.westminster.ac.uk/item/8z3xv/uneven-encounters-and-paradoxical-rights-embodiment-and-difference-in-sexual-orientation-rights-and-activism.

Full text
Abstract:
My thesis takes the intersection of sexual orientation and human rights and the increased tendency towards the expression of the concerns of sexual minorities in rights based terminology in international law as a Deleuzian ‘problem’ to be explored and unpicked. Sexual orientation is a singular expression of a complex multifaceted virtuality, yet the term -­‐ understood as a static and relatively unchanging denotation of a particular identity and mode of action -­‐ holds increasing purchase as a human rights issue. I explore the way in which rights shape the expression of sexuality within institutional and activist practices in international arenas and suggest that the complex and contested encounter between sexuality and human rights in international law exposes the problems, limits and temporality of both. By taking seriously the problems inherent to the encounters between sexuality and rights, as they are expressed in different material circumstances, we can explore sexuality as a mutliplicitous and changing flux and rights as a dual sided paradox, acting simultaneously machines of territorialisation and machines of deteritorialisation. Thus, I suggest that in their engagement with questions of 'sexual orientation', rights act as both modes of control, restriction and exclusion and as modes of communication and connection, challenge and escape, depending upon the particular circumstances within which they are expressed. As such, I attempt to engage with the embeddedness of ‘sexuality’ within particular material contexts and through this engagement, explore different potentialities that are implicated within divergent enactments of rights and sexuality in order to critique a mode of action that remains fixed upon abstract discussion of ossified ‘sexualities’ and transcendental rights. Furthermore, my aim is to approach the encounter not only as a means of critique but also as a moment of uncertainty and a site of productive engagement, vitality and becoming. Thus, the key question to be asked of the encounter between sexual orientation and rights is not one of which rights have been violated or of how a perceived violation can be expressed in relation to an already conceived and fixed discourse of rights, but instead, which material circumstances have facilitated the expression of injustice suffered by a sexual minority as a rights violation and in expressing the violation in this way, which possibilities, problematics and discourses are activated, and which others are ignored.

Abstract:
This thesis considers how dialectic, dialogue and debate contribute to the construction of the courtly subject in twelfth- and thirteenth-century Old French and Occitan lyric and narrative. It considers how debate and dialogue are informed by dialectic, which acts as a structural and thematic frame and gives courtly debate its distinctive oppositional tone. I argue that dialectic underpins debate lyrics; dialogues within narrative texts; and monologues (within lyrics and narratives) which break down into clear internal dialogue, or which use formal structures which are suggestive of dialogue. Chapter one stands as an introduction to the substantial tradition of debate both in Occitan and in Northern French. Chapter two considers a major theme in courtly literature, silence and secrecy, in the context of debate. Chapter three addresses dialogic forms within monologue, whether in single-voiced lyric poems or in monologues delivered by characters in narrative texts. Chapter four examines women’s desire, within the framework of dialogue, asking how dialogue shapes and constructs the feminine voice. Each chapter considers a range of courtly lyrics that are not in dialogue form, but which use the formal properties of dialogue, in addition to contemporary verse narratives. Research questions include what dialogue can tell us about the construction of the speaking voice in courtly literature; how dialogue constructs the feminine voice; and how dialogue inscribes cultural difference.

Abstract:
This thesis explores the everyday experiences and aspirations of young people living in Los Angeles and London, focusing on their cultural and political dispositions, emotions, thoughts and practices, and how these converge with, and diverge from, the dominant neoliberal discourses they are surrounded by. The contemporary literature on youth and youth politics tends to view young people as active and cognizant agents in the reproduction of socio-cultural and political-economic institutions, discourses, and practices. Applying a socio-cognitive approach to the analysis of interview data, ethnographic observations, and media-cultural texts, this thesis contends that these bodies of literature neglect the unconscious dimensions of young people’s practices, and in particular, that insufficient emphasis is placed on how these contribute to the reproduction of neoliberalism. It argues that, if the literature on youth is to adequately conceptualize and represent young people and their roles in social reproduction, then research explorations must attend to these unconscious dimensions. As this thesis will demonstrate, doing so facilitates and enriches analyses of the ways in which different institutional settings influence, constrain, and enable young people, and of some of the ways that young people contest, internalize, and negotiate between the dominant societal discourses presented to them. The thesis also explores some of the lessons that a socio-cognitive approach to youth culture and politics can contribute to the work of critical educators concerned with progressive social change. It argues that critical and progressive educators must incorporate socio-cognitive insights into their practices in order to tackle the potential dispositional barriers which may hinder the realisation of the political objectives of critical and progressive pedagogy.

Smyth, Nina. "Cortisol secretion in saliva and hair : methodological considerations and relationships with state and trait well-being." Thesis, University of Westminster, 2013. https://westminsterresearch.westminster.ac.uk/item/8z18y/cortisol-secretion-in-saliva-and-hair-methodological-considerations-and-relationships-with-state-and-trait-well-being.

Full text
Abstract:
Cortisol secretion follows a distinct circadian rhythm characterised by a nadir in early sleep, gradually increasing concentrations during late sleep, peak levels at 30-45 minutes post awakening (the cortisol awakening response: CAR) and a declining pattern thereafter. Salivary cortisol enables determination of the diurnal pattern within the domestic setting, although the measurement presents methodological challenges that need to be addressed. Further, the diurnal pattern of cortisol has been studied in relation to trait and state ill-being, rather than well-being. Consequently the focus of this programme of research was to explore relationships between the diurnal pattern of cortisol secretion and measures of both state and trait well-being and to examine the impact of electronically determined participant adherence to protocol within the domestic setting. In the first instance healthy, psychopathology-free young females were investigated but the work was extended to investigate the impact of aging on associations between cortisol secretion and well-being in healthy older females. Data from healthy female participants demonstrates for the first time that moderate delays (on average 8 minutes) between awakening and the start of saliva sampling (previously considered tolerable) result in erroneous over-estimation of CAR magnitude and earlier timing of the CAR peak. This minimal level of non-adherence was not detected by self-reported awakening time, suggesting that electronic monitoring of awakening is essential in CAR research. The effects of moderate delays on the CAR measurement were explored in a detailed study, the first to sample salivary cortisol secretion at five minute intervals in the immediate post-awakening period. Over-estimation of the CAR magnitude and earlier peak were attributed to an observed approximate ten minute time lag between awakening and the start of the cortisol rise. In contrast non-adherence to the sampling protocol across the day did not impact on measurement of the diurnal cortisol measures when measured at 3-12 hours post-awakening. In healthy young females neither state nor trait well-being/ill-being were associated with the CAR when using data strictly monitored for non-adherence during saliva sampling in the post-awakening period. Additionally, state and trait well-being were not associated with the diurnal decline or mean levels of cortisol across the day. These null findings could be attributed to the age of the sample. Previous associations between well-being and diurnal cortisol patterns have been observed mostly in middle-aged and older adults. The new method of cortisol assessment in hair samples provided a retrospective trait measure of cortisol secretion, without the problems of non-adherence to protocol. No associations between three months hair cortisol secretion with well-being/ill-being were observed in young healthy females, in line with the results reported above using salivary cortisol. However, in the older sample associations between hair cortisol and trait well-being were evident. Higher levels of trait well-being were associated with higher hair cortisol, independently of ill-being, providing support for cortisol as an ‘energiser’ in healthy older female participants. Together these findings provide evidence for the neurotoxicity hypothesis of cortisol secretion; well-being did not exert effects on cortisol secretion in early adulthood but effects were evident in late adulthood in healthy psychopathology-free female samples. The unique contribution of this programme of research lies in its consideration of methodological issues in the measurement of cortisol and well-being and its focus on positive psychology rather than the traditional psychopathology in relation to cortisol.

Jovic, Maja. "Branding post-conflict cities and nations : theory and cases." Thesis, University of Westminster, 2018. https://westminsterresearch.westminster.ac.uk/item/q5520/branding-post-conflict-cities-and-nations-theory-and-cases.

Full text
Abstract:
Positive images have helped cities and nations attract investments, visitors, residents and talent. In contrast, a number of places are struggling with unfamiliarity and image problems based on inaccurate information or stereotypes. In other cases, a turbulent past, political instability, natural disasters, violence and economic downturns are to blame. Brand management is here particularly challenging but needed for many emerging, newly industrialised and transitional nations. A strong sense of national identity has the power to be a productive and enabling force in a society, providing positive social capital – improved cooperation within society, information flows, resilience and better functioning institutions. This thesis develops an understanding of how the process of branding may be used to help recreate an image of a post-conflict city or nation. It evaluates the potential, context and rationale of models designed to aid the branding process in environments defined by war residue. To do so, an interdisciplinary approach has been developed to identify the relations between the effect of national image and nationalism on brands, the built environment, and the image as a destination. The thesis draws on topics, experiences and questions from four different themes: conflict, tourism, marketing and architecture. Overall, it contributes to ongoing debates about branding and expands on them by exploring the unique post-conflict setting of Serbia, where discourses around urbanism, cosmopolitanism, the rural and local, as well as tensions between neighbouring countries are played out. The thesis examines the data relating to the case study of Serbia through a critical discourse analysis of printed media and interviews with key experts from the region. The research acknowledges literature on political or destination branding of other post-conflict countries, however, these are usually considered from a singular aspect – political science, implementation of a social programme or destination marketing. The thesis’ contributions are exploring the role of residents in a post-conflict environment and identifying it as a most important factor to consider when creating a branding strategy. It argues cities cannot carry the weight of a country’s brand, even though this is often an “ad hoc” solution, nor can national identity be interchangeable with the brand. The thesis argues First World branding models largely overlook the question of whether a place is post-conflict at all, and what form the conflict has taken. It provides a theoretical framework to analyse the construction of post-conflict national identities by drawing upon tourism, architecture, theories of national identity, and brand management.

Abstract:
This thesis focuses on cinema and video made by and about indigenous or subaltern people and communities in Bolivia and Colombia, and discusses the interaction between different cultural notions of social change and of aesthetic representation. It centres on the productions of Jorge Sanjines' Bolivian Ukamau Group, and of Marta Rodriguez's Fundaci6n Cine Documental in Colombia. Previous studies of these filmmaking collectives have tended to view them under the banner of either national cinematic traditions; the artistic and political avant-garde often termed as the 'New Latin American Cinema'; or a longer history of indigenous film and media. This thesis is bound by none of these categories, but asks how they overlap, mutually inform and alter one another. By combining close textual analysis with wider contextual and historical accounts of the films' production and distribution, it examines the linkages between aesthetic form, cultural memory and political action. It thus begins with an account of the national and international circulation of militant avant-garde indigenista and revolutionary cinema in the 1960s and 1970s, showing how these groups inserted their work into existing and nascent political and cultural movements, infrastructures and networks. It discusses how the film collectives' early works converted existing national tropes of the primitive into potential subjects of continental revolution. It argues that methodological and textual innovations have increasingly opened films up to the cultural and political expressions of their participants, and converted them into fields of intercultural dialogue and debate. It proposes that even videos made by indigenous people themselves are inevitably mediated by aesthetic, technological and institutional structures, and considers some of the strategies that indigenous intellectuals and video-makers have employed in response. This thesis concludes that the most effective political cinemas have been those that have acknowledged and gained strength from their own status as mediations between different political, cultural and ideological spheres; between European-derived notions of social change (revolution) and Andean ones (pachakuti).

Abstract:
Background: The increased prevalence of Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) in the UK has seen the adoption of empowerment models of T2D management. Research exists which contrasts patients’ and healthcare professionals’ perspectives of T2D management. However, no studies explicitly contrast healthcare professionals’ and patients’ perspectives within the empowerment approach. The overall aim of this study was to explore healthcare professionals’ and patients’ perspectives of managing T2D in a context where empowerment is the prevailing health paradigm. The three research questions informing the aim sought to explore: 1) What are patients’ and healthcare professionals’ perceptions, understanding and experiences of successful and unsuccessful (un/successful) T2D management? 2) What barriers and enablers do patients and healthcare professionals perceive, understand and experience in relation to managing T2D on a day-to-day basis? and 3) What similarities and differences emerge in patients’ and professionals’ perceptions, understanding and experiences of managing T2D on a day-to-day basis? Methods: This is cross-sectional, qualitative research using maximum-variation sampling with healthcare professional and patient participants in an empowerment-based T2D patient participation group. Semi-structured interviews (N = 25 patients / N=10 healthcare professionals), focus groups (3 x N = 12 patients) and open-ended questionnaires (N = 6 patients) were used. Data were analysed thematically using framework analysis. Findings: Patient management of T2D developed from factors in their personal and social contexts. T2D affected patients in differing ways across the course of the illness (i.e. diagnosis, adaption and eventual self-management) and patients had different resources available in their social contexts with which to manage these effects. Diagnosis was shaped largely by the different types of uncertainty patient participants experienced on their diagnostic route, and the progession of the illness prior to detection and diagnosis which shaped the barriers and enablers they experienced. Healthcare professionals, on the other hand saw diagnosis as a springboard to self-management and tended to interpret patients’ experiences of uncertainty as ‘resistance’. Therefore, barriers to responding to diagnosis were seen as largely patient-related. Patient participants reported adapting to living with T2D as an ongoing process of adjusting their personal (and wider) relationships, as well as social activities, to ensure their T2D-related needs were met. Conversely, although healthcare professionals saw adaption as important, it was seen as a brief adjustment period after diagnosis and before full self-management. This highlighted another area where healthcare professionals and patients gauged successful management differently, and saw different barriers and enablers. Patients also experienced varied barriers and enablers and evaluated successful management using diverse criteria, largely shaped by factors in their social context. Healthcare professionals expected patients to ‘own their illness’ which was seen to reduce pressure on finite health resources, and that clinical advice would create behaviour change. Healthcare professionals’ perspectives on successful self-management revolved around clinical evidence, the healthcare system and socio-contextual constraints, and portrayed barriers and enablers to managing T2D largely as patient or healthcare system related. Discussion: Similarities and differences in healthcare professionals’ and patients’ perspectives of T2D management were seen. These occurred as a result of the fit between patients’ styles of self-management and healthcare professionals’ expectations surrounding behaviour change and health resources management. These differences were also evident during the diagnosis and adaption stages of the illness. Conclusion: Management of T2D was seen and experienced differently by healthcare professionals and patients where empowerment of the patient to self-manage was the prevailing paradigm. The lack of fit develops largely due to the different evaluative contexts and criteria which healthcare professionals and patients use to manage T2D, and the different expectations that healthcare professionals and patients have of one another.

Abstract:
This thesis analyses how Spain as a raising power in the Mediterranean, has developed its diplomatic strategies and mechanisms to gain diplomatic influence, international recognition and power. On the other side, it also analyses how France as a competing and rival power reacted to those diplomatic offenses and to what extent they became collaborators or competitors. Geopolitical interests, domestic politics, historical and contextual pre-conditions architected their diplomatic strategy. Political communication and lobbying strategies deployed by them as political entrepreneurs and brokers, were defined to construct a new socio-political imaginary and to gather political and public opinion’ consensus in order to achieve planned aims and objectives. This thesis focuses on the evaluation of the policies propelled by these political brokers and entrepreneurs. In order to propose a valid evaluation system the thesis has implemented a wide number of methodological tools that will allow the researcher to understand –and explain and demonstrate – complex scenarios and dynamics, avoiding generalizations and speculation in the process. In order to do so the researcher has adopted a long-term, multivariable –quantitative and qualitative analysis- that allows a better understanding of political, diplomatic and socio-economic trends, mechanisms and processes. The thesis avoids also a Eurocentric approach and has developed a symmetric discourse aiming at placing European and southern Mediterranean interests at the same level. This thesis concludes demonstrating that Western leaders, political entrepreneurs and brokers, have been trying to find and support cooperative and collaborative regimes. In parallel, leaders from Southern Mediterranean countries have been playing that game in order to consolidate their leadership. Despite the number of Euro-Mediterranean initiatives, projects and mechanisms European partners did not show a commitment to choosing the right objectives and expectations for the challenges they faced. Therefore, at a managerial level, these policies have been ambiguous and scarcely productive.

Abstract:
Abstract This paper reports the findings of a study that was conducted to evaluate the effect of joints and their proper modeling technique in the crash analysis. Joints such as universal joints, lower control arm connections, etc. are generally not characterized in details in the current CAE models used for crash simulation. In the past, assumption was that crash is a short duration event and therefore accurate modeling of the joint kinematics is relatively less important for crash simulation. However, review of many recent crash tests have shown that some of the critical joints in the vehicle may undergo severe joint motion during crash affecting the crash modes and the responses in a significant way. Especially, in some offset crash tests, tire was found to rotate inward and caused significant toe-board intrusion. Improper modeling of the mechanical joints sometimes can lead to inaccurate prediction and jeopardize the design verification process. To study the effect of joints on crash responses, detailed models for the major joint types in the vehicle were developed. Four types of joints — spherical, revolute, cylindrical and universal joints, have been identified and investigated since they are used extensively in the design of vehicle’s chassis. In particular, attention was focused on accurately simulating the kinematics of the joints under various loading and impact conditions. Component modeling of the four joints was investigated first to ensure the proper motion of the different joints individually. A number of analyses were conducted with the models for different impact conditions. The joint models, thus verified, were incorporated into sub-system models to verify the responses of multiple components and joints. Finally full vehicle simulations, with and without these joints, were performed and compared with physical test to prove out the joint modeling methodologies. Both car and truck chassis were included in the full system study to examine the robustness of the models. The results showed that the inclusion of the joints in the CAE models can affect the simulated responses significantly.

Full text
Abstract:
Abstract With increased focus on new vehicle crash safety, vehicle structures are being developed to sustain more demanding frontal crash conditions such as, offset, angular, and pole impacts. To manage the higher amount of impact energy, vehicle body components are designed for higher strength and stiffness resulting in increased vehicle weight. As an alternative, a more efficient design concept involving the chassis, suspension and driveline components are studied here. Attempts are made to investigate how the non-body structure components of a vehicle can be deployed to absorb crash energy that may lessen the demand on the body-in-white. Contribution of underbody chassis subframe & cross-members, the suspension control arms and the drive-shaft components are evaluated using analytical methods for effective use in frontal impact conditions. Ideas are explored to improve the vehicle crash pulse and reduce passenger compartment intrusions in frontal impacts by employing sub-frame, drive shaft and suspension control arms more effectively.
