Patient Satisfaction Among Opioid Use Disorder Treatment Sample In An Opioid Treatment Program: A Mixed Method Research Study, Stanley Nkemjika

Department of Psychiatry and Human Behavior Faculty Papers

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Patient satisfaction is increasingly recognized as a key indicator of the effectiveness of substance use disorder (SUD) treatment. While some studies suggest disparities in satisfaction across treatment settings, there remains limited research examining these differences, particularly among vulnerable populations. This study aimed to assess patient perceptions of satisfaction with opioid use treatment services and explore how demographic and socioeconomic factors influence these experiences.

METHODS: Conducted between 1 February and 31 March 2025, the study took place at a longstanding Opioid Treatment Program in Philadelphia. A total of 217 participants receiving treatment were recruited through convenience sampling during routine clinic …

Adaptive And Inclusive Seating Design For Transit-Oriented Interior, Muhammad Daffa Brisbhanuharto, Novrizal Primayudha

ARSNET

As transit-oriented interiors increasingly evolve into complex commercial and social micro-environments and serve diverse user groups, seating design must respond beyond basic functionality to address the need for adaptation and inclusivity. This study explores adaptive and inclusive design strategies through the development of seating design in such a context. This research follows Liedtka's human-centred, iterative design process comprising stages such as empathy, definition, ideation, and prototyping in developing seating design for a transit-oriented interior at Canabeans Coffee, located within KCIC Halim High-Speed Rail Station, Jakarta.

The design integrates ergonomic, aesthetic, and accessibility considerations while responding to contextual challenges of a …

The Impact Of Changes In Real Income And The Real Effective Exchange Rate On Trade In Goods And Services, Ioannis Litsios, Tjeerd Boonman, Keith Pilbeam

Plymouth Business School

We use foreign trade data on both imports and exports of goods and services among a group of 15 advanced economies to determine the incomes and price elasticities of demand for exports and imports of goods, services and goods and services combined in the long run. We find that changes in foreign and domestic income have, as expected, a positive long-run impact on the demand for exports and imports, respectively, with the impact of income changes being typically greater on the demand for services than on the demand for goods. We also confirm that a depreciation in the real effective …

Disrupting Latina/X Media Representations: A Performance Art Installation Informed By Autoethnographic And Embodied Explorations, Sandra Cristina Roa

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

In this dissertation I use autoethnography and performance methods to create a performance art installation that examines and re-imagines the role of media representations in shaping how I as a Latina actively negotiates belonging and identifies this concept as always in a processes requiring negotiation. I argue belonging is influenced by how I see myself or don’t see myself in media representation and offer the counter-narrative as a way of asserting agency and disrupting marginalization. In this project, I tend to the tensions felt between being a community member, media maker, and qualitative researcher in order to disrupt media messages. …

The Regulation Of The Hippo Signalling Pathway Effector Yap Through A Novel Lipid-Dependent Extracellular Matrix Complex, Simge Karagil, Natalia Haddad, Michael Stolinski, Natasha Hill, Darren Johnson, Nadine Wehida, Ahmed Elbediwy

School of Biomedical Sciences

Lipid metabolism plays a significant role in the regulation of various critical pathways within cells, where enhanced lipid metabolism is a hallmark of cancer cell metabolism. The Hippo signalling pathway poses as an important signalling pathway that governs tissue growth control and tumorigenesis. The effector of the Hippo signalling pathway, Yes-associated protein (YAP), serves as a central regulator for this growth control. Once a tissue develops to its correct size, YAP is phosphorylated and inactivated within the cytoplasm by the activation of the Hippo pathway, where its inactivation results in YAP nucleus translocation. This allows its dephosphorylation, modulating various cellular …

Background: The purpose of the Vigilan observational study (ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT02931682) was to prospectively assess the natural history and developmental course of creatine transporter deficiency (CTD).

Methods: Males with CTD aged 6 months to 65 years were evaluated at 6-month intervals for up to 4 years. Evaluations included neurodevelopmental assessments of intellectual functioning, adaptive functioning, and challenging behaviors and the onset and progression of medical comorbidities.

Results: Fifty participants (median age, 7.6 years) were enrolled. The predominant CTD phenotype consisted of significant intellectual disabilities and limited skill development over time. Most participants had a history of febrile or nonfebrile seizures, …

Synergetics In Complex Adaptive Systems, Joseph C. Mckinley

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 2020 - Present

Synergetics is an emerging paradigm which quantitatively describes and predicts the dynamics of complex living and nonliving systems. It has illuminated how complex systems can spontaneously self-organize by coordinating the activity of their constituent components toward some coherent, collective behavior. This coordinated activity can produce complex macroscopic spatiotemporal patterns without the need for central planning. In this dissertation, we develop and explore generalizations of the Haken-Kelso-Bunz (HKB) model of coordination dynamics. These generalizations include modeling higher-dimensional systems of coupled multistable oscillators with arbitrary diversity and coupling parameters, where the system components have the capacity to “learn” or adapt their intrinsic …

''Thanks For The [Land] Acknowledgement, Now What?'': Settler Histories And Decolonial Futures At Cal Poly Humboldt's Schatz Tree Farm, Sangeeta Sarkar

Rou Dalagurr Food Futures

As California's newest polytechnic university, Cal Poly Humboldt is often lauded for its Indigenous-­facing programming and commitments to Indigenous peoples. In recent years, Native American Studies faculty, staff, and students, alongside Indigenous community partners, have led conversations about Cal Poly Humboldt meaningfully supporting tribal sovereignty by returning land to Native nations. As Cutcha Risling Baldy summarized in a research interview, "Thanks for the [land] acknowledgement, now what?" (2024, personal interview). However, though Cal Poly Humboldt has made various land acknowledgements and references to Indigenous peoples in its university policies, conversations about #LandBack have been met with resistance from the university. …

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

Small ruminant lentiviruses (SRLVs) and Peste des Petits Ruminants virus (PPRV) are economically important viral diseases that threaten small ruminant production globally. While previous studies have reported their serological status in Peninsular Malaysia, there is limited epidemiological information on their occurrence in East Malaysia. This study aimed to determine the seroprevalence and risk factors of SRLVs and PPRV among nonvaccinated sheep and goats from selected smallholder farms in Sarawak. A total of 245 serum samples collected from sheep (n = 117) and goat (n = 128) were screened using commercial ID Screen^® PPR competition (PPRC ver. 0821) and MVV/CAEV …

Scaling Down Safe: Can The Scaled Agile Framework Be Adopted By Small And Medium Enterprises? A Multiple Case Study, Ritchie Piessens, Pascal Ravesteyn, Benny De Waal

Communications of the IIMA

The Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) has gained significant traction in recent years as a strategy to mitigate the risks associated with traditional front-end planning, which often results in downstream development challenges. The adoption of SAFe is not common for Small- and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), as its implementation is often perceived as complex, time-consuming and resource-intensive. However, the application of SAFe can add value for SMEs as well, when adapted and scaled down for use in those organisations. This qualitative multiple case study was undertaken to deepen our understanding of the applicability of the seven core competencies of SAFe in business …

Personalized Automatic Query Expansion Suggestions, Na

Defensive Publications Series

While autocomplete suggestions are a feature of search engines and other applications, these are typically limited to a few words and are one-shot. Interactions with a large language model (LLM) can benefit from rich, detailed prompts since the quality of responses provided by the LLM can improve with such prompts. However, such prompts are laborious to write. This disclosure describes techniques that leverage a large language model (LLM) to automatically suggest unstructured, natural-language query completions based on LLM reasoning. With user permission, appropriate user data can be accessed and used for the specific purpose of query completion. The techniques can …

System And Method For Explainable Deep Learning Fraud Detection Scores, David Sutton, Mark Anderson, Piotr Skalski, Yulia Rozanova

Defensive Publications Series

The present disclosure relates to a system for explaining deep learning fraud scores. The system comprises a deep learning model configured to process a sequence of raw transaction attributes and generate a fraud score. A concept definition framework includes a programmatically defined label set capturing semantic concepts associated with transactional behaviours. Concept activation vectors (CAVs) are established for each defined semantic concept based on historical transaction data. An integrated conceptual sensitivity (ICS) mechanism combines attributions from the deep learning model to the defined semantic concepts, providing an explanation for the generated fraud score. Additionally, a hierarchical explanation interface visualizes the …
