Abstract:
Practitioners encounter more elderly clients and their families as the service demands of our aging society continue to grow. This article seeks to increase gerontological knowledge among students and practitioners by providing an outline for the multidimensional assessment of the elderly client. Seven domains of assessment are reviewed: physical health, mental health, social support, physical environments, functioning, coping styles, and formal service usage. Discussion includes topics to be covered in each dimension, helpful assessment instruments, particularly relevant interviewing skills, and use of allied professionals.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Existing models and measures of well-being tend to be based on an individualistic, western worldview. In addition, when cross-cultural comparisons are made, diverse cultural groups within the same national border are typically not examined. The Multidimensional Well-Being Assessment (MWA) was developed because of the absence of a culturally relevant measure to assess the well-being of those whose worldview is more consistent with collectivism. Although much attention has been given to detrimental forces in the lives of African Americans, less consideration has been given to assessing well-being in this population. In this study, a nonrandom sample was used to examine the validity of the MWA. In addition, several demographic variables were considered to explore the relationship of the dimensions of well-being contained on the MWA. A total of the 169 persons who identified as African-American or as a Black person with African ancestry participated in the study. The MWA showed strong reliability on nearly all dimensional subscales, as well as a pattern of expected significant positive and negative correlations with multiple validation measures. Significant correlations between demographic variables (i.e., age, education, income, and gender) and several dimensions on the MWA were also found. This study has implications for future research and the MWA shows promising results with regard to its psychometric properties. It is a potentially useful instrument to utilize in research that seeks to deepen understanding of life satisfaction and wellness in diverse populations, with particular attention to unique findings within the African American population.

Abstract:
Background Regulatory T cells (Treg) are a subpopulation of CD4+ T cells that play an important role in the peripheral tolerance mechanisms of the immune system. Their suppressive function on autoreactive T cells can prevent autoimmunity. In type 1 diabetes (T1D), Treg have been inconsistently reported to be impaired in their capability to suppress autoreactive T cells (Tan, et al., 2014; Zhang, et al., 2012). Treg can be thymus derived (tTreg) or generated from naïve CD4+ CD25- T cells in the periphery (pTreg), which exhibit similar suppressive qualities as tTreg. They have also been reported to be actively induced (iTreg) under tolerogenic conditions (Kleijwegt, et al., 2010; Yuan and Malek, 2012). Although several Treg subpopulations have been described, the archetypical Treg express the major markers CD4, CD25 and FOXP3, while CD127 is heavily downregulated. However, activated conventional T cells (Tconv) show a similar phenotype, at least transiently (Miyara, et al., 2009). Since Treg and Tconv have opposing functions and therapeutic indications, it is important to obtain markers that confidently identify bona fide Treg. Scientific aim The aim of my thesis is to define the heterogeneity of human T cells with a specific emphasis to identify bona fide Treg. I examined heterogeneity of this population in healthy controls and T1D patients, as my model disease, and examined how T cells that are exposed to antigen can be defined as Treg or Tconv. Material and Methods For marker phenotyping I used samples from new onset T1D patients (age 7-11 years), autoantibody positive (Aab+) patients and age-matched healthy controls, which were tested by flow cytometry with an array of Treg-associated markers. Separately, freshly isolated CD4+CD25+CD127lo Treg and CD+CD25- Tconv were used for transcriptomic analysis, which was done by RNAseq on isolated whole RNA. For functional analysis of antigen specific gene expression patterns I developed a multi-dye proliferation assay. Treg (CD4+CD25+CD127lo) and Tconv (CD4+CD25-CD127+/lo) were sorted from isolated peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). I recombined the sorted and proliferation dye stained subsets with CD4- cells to simulate whole PBMC assays and stimulated them with tetanus-, influenza- or auto-antigens (GAD65, proinsulin). Cells were incubated for 5 days and responding proliferating cells as well as non-responding cells were single cell sorted and analyzed by multiplex qPCR. In investigating therapeutic approaches to expand or generate Treg, I examined in vitro approaches for de novo induction of Tregs with tolerogenic dendritic cells (tDCs). The tDCs were differentiated from monocytes either in the presence of 1α,25-OH(2)Vitamin D3 and/or Dexamethasone and matured with lipopolysaccharide. In a multistep assay, naïve T cells were incubated with DCs for two rounds and functional suppression assays were performed. The resultant T cells were analyzed at the DNA, protein, and functional level. Results Substantial phenotypic heterogeneity of peripheral blood CD4+ T cells was observed and documented for three major populations: resting Tconv (CD25-CD127+/lo), activated Tconv (CD25+CD127+) and Treg (CD25+CD127lo) in healthy controls. Despite this, I observed no differences between the Treg subpopulations from new onset T1D patients, Aab+ patients and healthy controls. In addition, there were no differences in the Treg transcriptome of T1D patients and healthy controls by RNAseq. I was, however, able to identify a small set of differentially expressed genes was discovered in Tconv suggesting a role of neutrophils in the onset of T1D. Heterogeneity of antigen-responsive Tconv and Treg was identified by gene expression profiling. I was able to define Treg specific as well as activation specific profiles, and found different expression profiles if T cells are foreign antigen or autoantigen activated and if the responding cells are Treg or Tconv. Genes that define the specific profiles include FOXP3, CD127, several cytokines, transcription factors and activation markers. The manipulation of naïve CD4+CD25- T cells by tDCs led to an unstable CD25+CD127loFOXP3+ phenotype of the generated cells. However, none of the subsequently performed functional assays could confirm that the resultant cells were iTreg or exhausted activated Tconv. In particular, methylation status of the Treg-specific demethylated region (TSDR) was inconsistent with stable Treg, suggesting that so-called tolerogenic protocols may not lead to a long-lived Treg phenotype. Conclusion CD4+CD25+ T cells are heterogeneous. I defined marker combinations that will help distinguish Treg from ex vivo and in vitro activated Tconv cells. With these tools, I was able to show that healthy controls and patients with type 1 diabetes cannot be distinguished by Treg phenotype. Comprehensive single cell analysis of antigen activated T cells provided the most promising avenue for identifying antigen-specific Treg and opens new possibilities to analyze immune therapeutic approaches, particularly when Treg expansion is the therapeutic objective. The findings will be used for monitoring children participating in antigen-based prevention studies in children at risk for T1D
Hintergrund Regulatorische T Zellen (Treg) sind eine Subpopulation der CD4+ T Zellen, welche eine wichtige Rolle in den peripheren Toleranzmechanismen des Immunsystems spielen. Ihre suppressive Funktion auf autoreaktive T Zellen kann Autoimmunität verhindern. Verschiedene Studien berichteten widersprüchlich, dass Treg in Typ 1 Diabetes (T1D) in ihrer Fähigkeit beeinträchtigt sind autoreaktive T Zellen zu supprimieren (Tan et al., 2014; Zhang et al., 2012). Treg können im Thymus differenzieren (tTreg) oder aus peripheren naïven CD4+CD25- T Zellen generiert werden (pTreg), welche ähnliche suppressive Eigenschaften wie tTreg besitzen. Es wurde außerdem berichtet, dass Treg aktiv unter tolerisierenden Konditionen induziert werden können (iTreg) (Kleijwegt et al., 2010; Yuan and Malek, 2012). Obwohl verschiedene Treg Subpopulationen beschrieben wurden, exprimieren die archetypischen humanen Treg die Hauptmarker CD4, CD25 und FOXP3 exprimieren, während CD127 herunterreguliert ist. Jedoch zeigen auch aktivierte konventionelle T Zellen (Tconv) diesen Phänotyp (Miyara et al., 2009). Da Treg und Tconv gegensätzliche Funktionen und therapeutische Indikationen aufweisen, ist es wichtig Marker zu erhalten, die sicher bona fide Treg identifizieren. Fragestellung Das Ziel meiner Arbeit ist es, die Heterogenität von humanen T Zellen zu definieren mit einen spezifischen Fokus bona fide Treg zu identifizieren. Dafür untersuchte ich die Heterogenität dieser Zellpopulation in gesunden Individuen und T1D Patienten, als Krankheitsmodell, und wie T Zellen als Treg oder Tconv definiert werden können wenn sie einem Antigen ausgesetzt sind. Material und Methoden Für das Phänotypisieren habe ich Proben von Patienten mit beginnendem T1D (Alter 7-11 Jahre), Autoantikörper positiven Patienten (Aab+) und gesunden Individuen mittels Durchflusszytometrie auf eine Reihe von Treg-assoziierten Markern getestet. Des Weiteren wurden frisch isolierte CD4+CD25+CD127lo Treg und CD+CD25- Tconv für die Transkriptomanalyse (RNAseq) genutzt, welche mit der Gesamt-RNA durchgeführt wurden. Für die funktionelle Analyse von Antigen-spezifischen Genexpressionsmustern habe ich ein Multifarbenproliferationstest entwickelt. Treg (CD4+CD25+CD127lo) und Tconv (CD4+CD25-CD127+/lo) wurden aus isolierten mononukleären Zellen des peripheren Blutes (PBMC) sortiert. Ich habe die sortierten und gefärbten Zellen mit CD4- Zellen zusammengefügt, um einen Gesamt-PBMC-Test zu simulieren und habe die Zellen mit Tetanus-, Influenza- oder Auto-antigen (GAD65, Proinsulin) stimuliert. Die Zellen wurden für 5 Tage inkubiert und die Antigen-reagierenden und -proliferierenden Zellen sowie die nicht-reagierenden Zellen Einzelzell sortiert und mittels Multiplex qPCR analysiert. Um therapeutische Ansätze zum Expandieren oder Generieren von Treg zu untersuchen, habe ich in vitro Ansätze für die de novo Induktion von Treg durch die Nutzung von tolerisierenden dendritischen Zellen (tDCs) untersucht. Die tDCs wurden von Monozyten in Anwesenheit von 1α,25-OH(2)Vitamin D3 und/oder Dexamethason differenziert und mit Lipoploysaccharid maturiert. Naïve T Zellen wurden in einem Mehrschrittverfahren mit DCs inkubiert. Die resultierenden T Zellen wurden auf DNA, Protein und funktioneller Ebene analysiert. Ergebnisse Substantielle phänotypische Heterogenität von peripheren Blut CD4+ T Zellen wurde in drei Hauptpopulationen in gesunden Individuen beobachtet und dokumentiert: ruhende Tconv (CD25-CD127+/lo), aktivierte Tconv (CD25+CD127+) und Treg (CD25+CD127lo). Weiterführend ergab der phänotypische Vergleich von Patienten mit beginnender T1D, Aab+ Patienten und gesunden Individuen keine Unterschiede in den Treg Subpopulationen. Außerdem zeigten sich keine Unterschiede in den durch RNAseq gemessenen Treg Transkriptomen von T1D Patienten und gesunden Individuen. Jedoch wurde ein kleine Gruppe von differentiell exprimierten Genen in Tconv entdeckt, welche eine mögliche Rolle von Neutrophilen in T1D andeuten. Heterogenität von Antigen-spezifischen Tconv und Treg Antworten wurde durch Genexpressionsanalysen identifiziert. Ich konnte Treg- sowie Aktivierungs-spezifische Muster definieren und verschiedene Expressionsprofile finden, wenn T Zellen durch Fremd- oder Autoantigen aktiviert wurden und ob sie die reagierenden Zellen Treg oder Tconv sind. Folgende Gene waren hauptsächlich in die Profilbildung involviert: FOXP3, CD127, mehrere Zytokine, Transkriptionsfaktoren und Aktivierungsmarker. Die Manipulation von naïven CD4+CD25- T Zellen durch tDCs führte zu einem instabilen CD25+CD127loFOXP3+ Phänotyp der generierten Zellen. Jedoch konnte keiner der weiterführenden funktionellen Analysen unterscheiden, ob die resultierenden Zellen iTreg oder aktivierte erschöpfte T Zellen waren. Insbesondere war der Methylierungsstatus der Treg-spezifisch demethylierten Region (TSDR) nicht konsistent mit einen stabilen Treg Phänotyp, was darauf hinweist, dass sogenannte tolerisiernde Protokolle nicht zu einem langlebigen Treg Phänotyp führen. Schlussfolgerungen CD4+CD25+ T Zellen sind heterogen. Ich habe Markerkombinationen definiert die helfen werden Treg von ex vivo und in vitro aktivierten Tconv Zellen zu unterscheiden. Mit diesen Mitteln war ich in der Lage zu zeigen, dass gesunde Individuen und Patienten mit Typ 1 Diabetes nicht anhand ihres Treg Phänotyps unterschieden werden können. Umfassende Einzelzell-Analysen von Antigen aktivierten T Zellen lieferten den vielversprechendsten Ansatz für die Identifizierung von Antigen-spezifischen Treg und eröffnen neue Möglichkeiten um immuntherapeutische Ansätze zu analysieren, insbesondere wenn Treg Expansion das therapeutische Ziel ist. Diese Erkenntnisse werden zukünftig für das Monitoring von Kindern, mit einem hohen T1D Risiko, genutzt die an Antigen-basierten Präventionsstudien teilnehmen

Abstract:
Human health is multidimensional: apart from physical, mental, and social aspects, it also incorporates subjective perceptions of health, and functional status (FS). Given that elderly persons have very distinctive health and social needs, multidimensional assessment (MA) of health proves particularly useful in this age group.¶ Aboriginal populations suffer poor health, and there are relatively few studies addressing the health problems of older Aboriginal Australians, mainly because of their distinctive demographic structure, and the low proportion of their elderly. Also, there is no prior information available on MA of health in this Australian population group.¶ This thesis offers a MA of health in older Aboriginal persons from two, urban and rural/isolated, locations in the NT, Katherine and Lajamanu (the NT survey).¶ This thesis specifically addresses the following questions: - what is the physical health, FS, subjective perception of health, and social functioning amongst the NT survey participants? - what are the possible similarities and differences in various dimensions of health between the two major survey locations, what age and gender patterns are observed, and what are the reasons for these patterns, similarities and differences? - how do various dimensions of health relate to each other, and why? - how do current findings relate to broader Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal populations, and why? - what can MA add to a better understanding of various aspects of morbidity and health care use? - what are its possible implications for health planning?¶ Findings from this work indicate poor physical health amongst participants in almost all investigated aspects, comparable to information available from other Aboriginal populations. These are accompanied by low levels of ability for physical functioning. Despite this, subjective perception of health is rather optimistic amongst participants, and levels of social functioning high. Use of health services is mainly related to available health infrastructure. Important health differences exist between Katherine and Lajamanu, and they became particularly visible when all dimensions of health are considered together.¶ The Main conclusions from the current work are that 1) poor physical health is not necessarily accompanied by similar level of deterioration in other dimensions of health: even though participants from the isolated community of Lajamanu experience most chronic diseases, their ability for physical functioning is better, self-perceived health (SPH) more optimistic and levels of social functioning highest 2) institutionalised participants from Katherine suffer by far the worst health of all sample segments in this study; at least some of the poor health outcomes are potentially avoidable, and could be improved by more appropriate residential choices for Aboriginal elderly 3) better health infrastructure does not necessarily bring better health in all its dimensions, suggesting that other factors (primarily socio-economic and cultural) should be addressed in conjunction with this in solving complex health problems of Aboriginal Australians, and 4) it provides strong support that MA can become a useful tool in comprehensive health assessment of older Aboriginals.

This thesis proposes new assessment methods related to dynamic multi-dimensional heat transfer processes in buildings. Various assessment procedures are presented with different approaches, comprising steady-state or transient; numerical or experimental; one- or multi-dimensional cases. A generalized formulation is proposed for the definition of heat transfer in buildings, which is developed into numerical and experimental case studies. This same formulation is integrated into a detailed procedure for the calibration of numerical models to meet experimental data. The use of these methods for detailed thermal assessment procedures within building envelope retrofitting processes is discussed. A case study on the differential thermal analysis of an external thermal insulation system is presented where the additional thermal resistance of the system is calculated by experimental means.

Abstract:
As life expectancy increases, the likelihood of more falls and fall-related hospitalizations increases with a significant impact on the health system. Given the high incidence of falls in healthy elderly people, in order to prevent them, it is necessary to identify predisposing risk factors, analyze the specific needs of the subjects and use a targeted preventive strategy. This paper investigates the influence of multidimensional health parameters on the fall risk of community-dwelling older people, living in inner areas of Marche Region (Italy). Multidimensional data on the global health of each individual has been collected among several health domains (i.e., mobility, psychological, nutritional, cardiological, social). Statistical analysis has been applied for the assessment of the relationship among the defined health variables and the influence on the fall risk. The binary logistical regression analysis has produced a statistical model with good characteristics of fit and good predictability. The following features have been proven to be strong predictors of fall: female (OR for Gender, 5.526; 95% CI, 1.49–20.53), limited range of movement (OR 3.278; 95% CI, 1.01-10.68), diabetes (OR 4.487; 95% CI, 1.02-19.80), previous syncope (OR 7.686; 95% CI, 1.01-58.55), and body mass index (OR 1.176; 95% CI, 1.03-1.35). Future work will allow the development of a fall prediction index to have a framework of the elder’s global health status and to define a personalized intervention strategy for any adverse event prevention.

The nominal stress approach of Eurocode 3 is compared to a hot spot stress based fatigue life calculation for the standardized fatigue load models for railway traffic. Hot spot stresses are calculated with an in-house developed framework that allows automated determination of hot spot stresses. It is discussed how this work can fit in a larger decision support system in the scope of structural health monitoring.

Abstract:
The design of a canary in a system aims at the detection of failures without causing an error in the system. The idea behind a canary is to have a system that will provide an early warning in a way that a fault-tolerant system will continue its intended function despite the potential presence of hardware errors. This paper presents methods to collect and analyze life-cycle environmental and usage data for in-situ health assessments. The FARM method is also provided to develop a canary life cycle monitoring plan, that encompasses the selection of environmental and usage parameters. The multidimensional failure space of a system is analyzed with combinatorial material science. A case study is presented to illustrate the methodology.

Abstract:
Generation-IV SuperCritical Water-cooled Reactors (SCWRs) are expected to have high thermal efficiencies within the range of 45–50% owing to the reactor’s high pressures and outlet temperatures. The behavior of supercritical water however, is not well understood and most of the methods available to predict the effects of the heat transfer phenomena within the pseudocritical region are based on empirical one-directional correlations which do not capture the multi-dimensional effects and do not provide accurate results in regions such as the deteriorated heat transfer regime. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is a numerical approach to model fluids in multidimensional space using the Navier-Stokes equations and databases of fluid properties to arrive at a full simulation of a fluid dynamics and heat transfer system. In this work, the CFD code, FLUENT-12, is used with associated software such as Gambit and NIST REFPROP to predict the Heat Transfer Coefficients at the wall and corresponding wall temperature profiles inside vertical bare tubes with SuperCritical Water (SCW) as the cooling medium. The numerical results are compared with experimental data and 1-D models represented by existing empirical correlations. Analysis of the individual heat-transfer regimes is conducted using an axisymmetric 2-D model of tubes of various lengths and composed of different nodalizations along the heated length. Wall temperatures and heat transfer coefficients were analyzed to select the best model for each region (below, at and above the pseudocritical region). Two turbulent models were used in the process: k-ε and k-ω, with variations in the sub-model parameters such as viscous heating, thermal effects, and low-Reynolds number correction. Results of the analysis show a fit of ±10% for the wall temperatures using the SST k-ω model in the deteriorated heat transfer regime and less than ±5% for the normal heat transfer regime. The accuracy of the model is higher than any empirical correlation tested in the mentioned regimes, and provides additional information about the multidimensional effects between the bulk-fluid and wall temperatures.

Abstract:
Traditional technologies emphasize either experience or model-based approaches to the Diagnostics, Prognostics & Health Management (DPHM) problem. However, most of these methodologies often apply only to the narrow type of machines that they were developed for, and only support strategic level assessments as opposed to real-time tactical decisions. By enabling widespread integration of diagnostics and prognostics into our manufacturing business processes, we have reduced spacio-temporal uncertainties associated with future states and system performance and therefore enabled more informed and effective decisions on manufacturing activities. For large-scale systems, the usual approach is to aggregate multidimensional data into a single-dimensional stream. These methods are generally adequate to extract key performance indicators. However, they only point to observable effects of a failure and not to their root causes. An integrated framework for DPHM requires the availability of bidirectional cause-effect relationships that enable system-wide health management rather than just predicting what its future state would be. This paper summarizes best practices, benchmarks, and lessons learned from the design, development, deployment, and execution of DPHM systems into real-life applications in the automotive industry.

Full text
Abstract:
Stress is a multidimensional construct that comprises exposure to events, perceptions of stress, and physiological responses to stress. Research consistently demonstrates a strong association between stress and a myriad of physical and mental health concerns, resulting in a pervasive and interdisciplinary agreement on the importance of investigating the relationship between stress and health. Developing a holistic understanding of stress requires assessment of the three domains vital to the study of stress: (1) the presence of environmental stressors, (2) psychological and biological reactions to stressors, and (3) the length of time over which the stressor or stress response occurs. Research into all three domains requires multiple methods. Self-reports allow for subjective evaluations of stress that illuminate the duration and severity of the psychological response to stressors. Biomarkers, in turn, capture a more-objective measure of stress and create a deeper understanding of the biological response to chronic and acute stress. Finally, the use of digital biomarkers allows for further exploration of the physiological fluctuations caused by stress by measuring the changes occurring at the same time as the stressor. Future research on stress and health should favor a multidimensional approach that creates a triangulated picture of stress, drawing from each of the three aforementioned method groups.
