Abstract:
Contact lenses is a great invention which is intended for people with a sight problem. They have changed the lives of millions of people around the world. It was estimated that 125 million people (2%) used contact lenses in 2004. A contact lens is a thin lens placed directly on the surface of the eye and it is considered a medical device and may be worn to correct vision or for cosmetic or therapeutic reasons. They might seem like a new, modern invention, but the idea has actually been around for hundreds of years. So, the history of contact lenses development is long and rich.

Abstract:
Contact lenses seem to be the ideal method of vision correction for ametropic people who participate in sporting activities. This thesis sets out to evaluate the viewpoint of the optometric professional and that of the patient on the use of contact lenses in sport and to establish if education is needed within this area. It also aims to provide some scientific evidence on the effect of exercise on the physiology of the cornea with and without contact lenses. Silicone hydrogel contact lenses have previously been suggested to impede heat dissipation from the cornea compared to mid water hydrogels. This was further demonstrated with exercise. The physiological integrity of the cornea is dependant on the amount of oxygen available to its surfaces. Contact lenses can disrupt the diffusion of oxygen to the cornea. Previous methods of measuring the oxygen consumption of the cornea have been limited by their invasive nature and assessment of only a small surface area of the cornea. They are not suitable to measure corneal oxygen consumption during exercise with and without contact lenses. A new method needed to be established. This was achieved by designing a novel method by the use of an oxygen sensor inside an airtight goggle using dynamic quenching of luminescence method. This established a non-contact way of measuring the effect oxygen uptake with and without contact lenses in vivo, allowing the contact lens to be undisturbed in their natural environment. The new method differentiated between the closed-eye and the open-eye condition with a good within-visit repeatability. It also illustrated that the cornea utilises oxygen at a faster rate during controlled aerobic exercise at moderate intensity. New contact lenses are available specifically for sport, these claim to reduce glare and increase contrast for daylight outdoor sports. However, visual benefits of these types of contact lenses cannot be measured easily in an indoor clinical environment, such as the optometric practice. To demonstrate any potential benefits of these lenses emulation of them should be conducted outdoors.

Abstract:
The primary objective of this study was to quantify and characterise lipid deposition on soft (hydrogel) contact lenses, particularly those containing siloxane components. Studies involving a variety of in vitro doping and in vivo worn contact lenses were undertaken, in which lipid deposition was analyzed by either TLC or HPLC. Specific experiments were completed to optimize a method to extract the lipid from the lens materials, to compare the total lipid deposition on nine different hydrogel lenses and to analyze the effect that lipid deposition had on wettability. A method for extracting lipid from contact lenses using 2:1 chloroform: methanol was developed. This study also showed that siloxane-containing contact lens materials differ in the degree to which they deposit lipid, which is dependent upon their chemical composition. Small differences in lipid deposition that occur due to using variations in cleaning regimens were not identifiable through TLC, and required more sophisticated analysis using HPLC. Contact lens material wettability was found to be influenced by in vitro lipid deposition. Specifically, conventional hydrogels and plasma surface-treated silicone-hydrogel materials experienced enhanced wettability with lipid deposition. Reverse-phase HPLC techniques were able to quantify lipid deposits with increased sensitivity and accuracy. From the HPLC studies it was found that contact lens material, concentration of the lipid doping solution, and the composition of the lipid doping solution in in vitro deposition studies influenced the ultimate amount and composition of lipid deposits. In vivo HPLC studies showed that the final lipid deposition pattern was influenced by the interaction between the composition of the tear film and the various silicone hydrogel contact lens materials. In conclusion, HPLC analysis methods were more sensitive and quantitative than TLC. Lipid deposition was ultimately influenced by the concentration and composition of the lipid in the tear film and the contact lens material. Contact lens wettability was influenced by the presence and deposition of lipid onto the contact lens surfaces. Finally, this reverse-phase HPLC lipid analysis protocol was not the most sensitive, robust, or accurate. In the future, other methods of analysis should be explored.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis investigates the use of low temperature plasmas as a means of improving the surface properties of hard gas permeable contact lenses. It is important that the polymers used for this application should have good optical properties, should allow transport of oxygen to the cornea and be biocompatible, that is they should not stimulate an adverse response in the tissues which they contact. Whilst most patients have no problems with current materials there are a significant number who experience irritation of the eyes and abnormal build up of deposits on the lens surface. It has been found that mild oxygen plasma treatment of the contact lens can be helpful in alleviating these problems. In this volume the effects of such treatment are examined by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and alternative treatments proposed. It is found that the oxygen plasma treatment increases the wettability of the lens surface by the incorporation of oxygen in the polymer. This effect decays with time but is not wholly lost on prolonged storage. The mechanism of this decay appears to be a migration of oxidized material from the surface and is dependent on the storage conditions. During this decay an anomalous transient increase in hydrophilicity was encountered which can be associated with the temporary return of highly oxidized material to the surface. This effect is observed in other polymers and can be shown to be temperature dependent. The use of plasma polymerization as an alternative treatment was investigated and a number of materials produced with similar surface properties to the oxygen treated lens material. It was hoped that a coating would be generally applicable to a variety of lens materials.*Adsorption studies showed that the oxygen treated material has the property of reversibly adsorbing glycoproteins which may account for its performance in the eye. Some of the plasma polymer coatings gave a similar response.

Abstract:
Vision is presented and universally accepted as the most precious of the human senses.lt is structured in three main parts: the optical system {eye), the photo-sensor {eye's retina), and the data processor (brain). If one of them is affected by any disease or dysfunction, vision will be terrible or even nonexistent One of the most common dysfunction is presbyopia.lt i s an age-related disorder that is undergone by all the population s ince their mid-late-40s and it is consists in the loss of the ability to focus near objects (accommodation). A huge number of possible corrections of it can be easily found. On one hand, there are temporary corrections ,as progressive spectacle tenses or multifocal contact tenses. On the other hand, permanent corrections as multifocal i ntraocular lenses, multifocal cornea! ablation, accommodating intraocular tenses, monovision systems, or scleral modifications are also applied to correct presbyopia. Another age-related dysfunction is cataract. Cataract is the opacification of the crystalline fens and decreases the quality of the visual function. Consequently, it is one of the leading visual impairments in adults over 60 years old, affecting the half of the adults aged between 75-85 years old. The only possible solution far cataract is the extraction of the opacified fibers of the crystalline lens and the replacement of them with an intraocular lens by surgery. Due to the fact that all the patients affected by an age-related cataract are also affected by presbyopia it is totally understandable that a number of patients choose mulltifocal introcular lens to substitute their crystalline tenses .This way, only one surgery is needed to salve both age-related dysfunctions. Usually, young presbyopes choose a temporary correction as a first option to correct presbyopia. Some presbyopia corrections are based on the simultaneous vision principie, as, far example, multifocal contact or intraocular lenses. The optical design of these kind of lenses is very complex. Consequently, It is characterization is also difficult When these lenses were launched into the market, it was only possible to characterize optical quality before the implantation or the adaptation of them (characterization in vitro) and the visual quality after the surgery or the clinical adaptation was performed (characterization) .M. present and thanks to the technological advances, different new commercial instruments that are to perform characterization in vivo of the visual quality before the implantation or the adaptation of simultaneous vis ion tenses. They are based on the simulation of the vision that these tenses give to the implanted eye. Some experimental prototypes and commercial aberrometers or double­ pass systems have used to perform an optical quality characterization in vivo, but some issues have been reported. Taking into account all this information, the main goal of this thesis is the design and the assembly of a new open-field double-pass system with asymmetric focus that is suitable to characterize invivo optical quality in patients implanted or adapted with multifocal intraocular or contact lenses. In order to achieve this aim, different studies and processes were carried out Review of presbyopia corrections and the characterization of them (Clinical study about objective over-refraction wearing multifocal contact lenses); Verification of the suitability of one commerciat simulator (Clinical study with the commercial simulator VirtlOL (10lens S.l.)); Design and assembly of the double-pass system with asymmetric focus (Opto-mechanical design/ Validation of all the elements included in the system/ Optical validation of the system); Programming of the softwares to manage the system; Validation of the new prototype (Two clinical studies characterizing eyes implanted with multifocal introcular tenses by using the new system were done).
La visió és entesa i, universalment acceptada, com el sentit humà més valorat .Aquesta esta estructurada en tres parts principals: el sistema òptic (l'ull), el fot-sensor (la retina ocular) iel processador (el cervell). Si una d'aquestes parts es veu afectada per una disfunció o malaltia, la visió pot arribar a ser de molt baixa qualitat i, fins hi tot, inexistent Una de les disfuncions més comunes és la presbícia. La presbícia és una disfunció lligada a l'edat que pateix tota lla població a partir dels 40 anys, aproximadament. Consisteix en la pèrdua de la capacitat d'enfocar objectes propers (acomodació). Actualment, es troba un ampli nombre de possibles correccions. Per una banda, tenim les correccions temporals, com ulleres o lents de contacte progressives, i, per l'altre, correccions permanents, com lents intraoculars multifocals , ablacions corneals multifocals, lents intraoculars acomodatives, sistemes de monovisió, o modificacions esclerals, entre altres. Una altre disfunció associada a l'edat és la cataracta, la qual crea la opacificació del cristal·lí impedint una visió nítida. Conseqüentment, la cataracta és una de la deficiències visuals més estesa a partir dels 60 anys, afectant a la meitat de la població entre els 75 i els 85 anys . La única solució per eliminar les cataractes és eliminant les fibres opacificades i substituir-les per una lent intraocular quirúrgicament. Donat que tots els pacients amb cataractes són, a la vegada, prèsbites, està justificat que un nombre de pacients decideixi implantar-se lents intraoculars multifocals per substituir el seu cristal·lí. D'aquesta manera es solucionen dues degeneracions associades a l'edat en una sola cirurgia. Els joves prèsbites acostumen a optar per correccions prèsbites temporals, mentre que molts dels prèsbites amb cataractes opten per solucions permanents. Algunes de les correccions de la presbícia, com les lents de contacte o intraoculars multifocals , estan basades en el principi de visió simultània. Els dissenys òptics d'aquest tipus de lents són molt complexos, cosa que fa que la seva caracterització sigui molt complicada. Quan aquestes lents van aparèixer al mercat, només era possible caracteritzar-les òpticament abans de la seva implantació o adaptació de manera in vitro, i de caracteritzar-les visualment després de la seva adaptació o implantació de manera in vivo. Actualment, i gracies a tots els avenços tecnològics, diferents instruments clínics han estat desenvolupats per realitzar mesures de les qualitats visuals abans de la seva implantació. Tots ells, es basen en simular-li al pacient la visió que tindria després de ser implantat. Per un altre cantó, alguns prototips experimentals iaberrometres o sistemes de doble-pas comercials han estat utilitzats per dur a terme la caracterització de la qualitat in vim en pacients implantats o adaptats amb sistemes multifocals, pero diferents problemes han estat plantejats. Tenint en compte tota aquesta informació, el principal objectiu d'aquesta tesi ha estat la de dissenyar i muntar un nou sistema de doble-pas d'enfocament asimètric de camp obert que fos capaç de fer una caracterització de la qualitat òptica in vivo de pacients implantats o adaptats amb lents de contacte o intraoculars multifocals. I per arribar a aquest objectiu, s'han dut a terme els següents passos: Revisió de les correccions per a la presbícia i caracterització d'elles (Estudi clínic de la sobre-refracció objectiva de pacients adaptats amb lents de contacte multifocals); Validació de la capacitat de mesura d'un simulador comercial (Estudi clínic amb el simulador comercial VirtlOL (1OLens S.L); Disseny i muntatge del sistema de doble-pas amb enfocament asimètric (Disseny opto-mecànic/ Validació de tots els components del sistema/ Validació òptica del sistema); Programació dels programes informàtics que gestionen el sistema i processen

Abstract:
Additional design by controlling the radial graded-index (GRIN) inside a lens medium has generated considerable interest especially in reducing spherical aberration or increasing optical power. However in the case of glass materials, it is difficult to prepare large dimensional GRIN materials with about 10 mm diameters. On the other hand, polymer materials are suitable for obtaining a large dimension such as 10mm - 100mm1).

Abstract:
To correct presbyopia with contact lenses, three means exist for a long time: monovision, translating bifocals and simultaneous vision. The main feature of the last one is to produce on the retina, two or more images from a single object, each corresponding to a different optical power. However, only one of these images can be in-focus at one time. The out-of-focus images of an extended object produce a loss of contrast in the in-focus image, with respect to sharp images produced by a spherical lens. So it is necessary to devise specific tools to assess the physical quality of these multifocal contact lenses correcting presbyopia.

Abstract:
There are several designs of contact lenses currently available for the correction of presbyopia. No lens comes close to the ideal of providing a correction appropriate to the object of regard which covers the full entrance pupil of the eye1. Of interest are the compromises offered by specific designs and how well their on-eye performance compares with both their theoretical performance and in vitro measurements made on the lenses. One of the current classes of design consists of concentric simultaneous vision varifocal lenses. These lenses are usually limited to radial power profiles. The available range of corrective power under any particular set of lighting conditions is dependent on the pupil diameter of the individual wearer. The lens design usually cannot be modified to match the pupil diameter of the individual nor to increase the effective reading addition for the aging presbyope1. Their smooth variation in power is presumed to give reasonably good visual performance for a wide range of object distances. Moreover, unlike alternating designs, concentric varifocals give adequate near vision for all directions of gaze, and do not require decentration, which is difficult to achieve with soft lenses.

Abstract:
There is a growing population of presbyopic contact lens wearers. Many of these individuals would like to retain the comfort, convenience and cosmesis of soft lenses and avoid the use of spectacle lenses to achieve adequate vision at distance and near. This demand has led to the development of a wide range of soft bifocal contact lens (SBCL) designs. The majority rely on "simultaneous- vision" where the in-focus image of the distant or near object formed by the appropriate portion of the lens is always accompanied by a superimposed out-of-focus image formed by the remainder of the lens. Simultaneous-vision may be achieved by various techniques. The traditional approach is the concentric design where a small (~2.5 mm) central near portion is surrounded by the distance portion (e.g. the Alges lens). Alternatively the distance portion may be placed at the lens center (e.g. the Bi-soft lens). A second approach is the aspheric design where a gradual transition in lens power between the distance and near portions is achieved by producing and back or front lens surface (e.g. the PA1 lens). Increases in asphericity will produce a more pronounced variation in surface power, thereby increasing the range of distances over which the lens is focussed but this will be at the expense of image quality (Charman and Walsh, 1988). A third approach is the diffractive design as employed in the Echelon lens (Klein and Ho, 1986). In this lens, images of distance objects are formed by refraction, while images of near objects are formed by diffraction. Diffraction is achieved by annular grooves on the back surface of the lens.

Full text
Abstract:
International financial institutions (IFIs) generally enjoy preferred creditors treatment (PCT). Although PCT rarely appears in legal contracts, when sovereigns restructure bilateral or commercial debts, they normally pay IFIs in full. This paper presents a model where a creditor, such as an IFI, that can commit to lend limited amounts at the risk-free rate and can refrain from lending into arrears is always repaid and adds value. The analysis suggests that IFIs and market lenders can both enhance welfare, even if banning commercial borrowing can sometimes be optimal. To maintain their status, preferred lenders should offer low cost financing in volumes that are consistent with countries' incentives to repay even in bad states. This suggests such lenders should not differentiate lending interest rates according to risk and should not participate in the restructuring of commercial debt.

Full text
Abstract:
The paper explores the incidence of sudden stops in capital flows on the incentives for building national institutions that secure property rights in a world where sovereign defaults are possible equilibrium outcomes. Also the paper builds upon the benchmark model of sovereign default and direct creditor sanctions by Obstfeld and Rogoff (1996). In their model it is in the debtor countrys interest to tie its hands and secure the property rights of lenders as much as possible because this enhances the credibility of the countrys romise to repay and prevents default altogether. It incorporate two key features of todays international financial markets that are absent from the benchmark model: the possibility that lenders can trigger sudden stops in capital movements, and debt contracts in which lenders transfer resources to the country at the start of the period, which have to be repaid later. The paper shows that under these conditions the advice build institutions to secure repayment at all costs may be very bad advice indeed.

Appealing to a Religiously Defined ‘the People’: How Religion Was Performatively Operationalised in the 2019 and 2024 Election Campaigns of Indonesia’s President-Elect. European Center for Populism Studies (ECPS), April 2024. http://dx.doi.org/10.55271/pp0034.

Abstract:
Observers widely acknowledged the lack of divisive Islamist populism in Indonesia’s 2024 Presidential Elections. This was in stark contrast to the 2019 elections in which Prabowo Subianto, the case study of this article and new leader of Indonesia, led a campaign that overtly supported Islamist interests and actors, and deepened religio-ethnic tensions in society. Despite this acknowledgement, it remains unclear if religion was still operationalized – albeit differently – in his most recent campaigning efforts. This article therefore seeks to examine if religion was politicized and performed by Prabowo in 2024 and contrast the findings with 2019 to address how and why his instrumentalization of religion varied significantly. Applying a discursive-performative lens, discourse analysis will be used to determine if and how religion featured in a sample of Prabowo Subianto’s speeches (six speeches in total, three from each election campaign). Specifically, this analysis will explore how references to religion and a religious community reflect a) his political goals and b) the political community he is attempting to engage. It will also discuss these findings in the context of contemporary populism studies.
