Financial Ratios And Stock Volatility: Empirical Evidence From The Banking Sector, Rahma Tri Benita

Journal of Accounting Auditing and Business

Banking stock price volatility is closely related to company performance and fundamental indicators. This study analyzes the short-term and long-term relationships between financial ratios and stock price volatility in the banking sector. Based on the results of the long-term correlation, the Price to Earnings Ratio (P/E) and Dividend Yield (DY) variables are proven to be dominant factors influencing volatility because they are directly related to stock price movements. In the short-term correlation between state-owned banks, there is an inverse relationship between Price to Book and ROE, and Debt to Equity has a significant negative effect on Return on Assets and …

The Distribution Of Cadmium And Its Isotopes In The Subarctic Pacific, J. M. Malloy, H. R. Hunt, M. Sieber, S. Takano, H. Obata, T. M. Conway

Making Waves REU

• Cadmium (Cd) is a bioactive trace element that can act as a micronutrient, driving large scale chemical processes like photosynthesis and cellular respiration [1,2].
• The uptake of major nutrients is limited by dissolved iron (Fe) availability in high nutrient low chlorophyll (HNLC) surface regions like the subarctic Pacific [2,4].
• Upwelling of Cd-rich deepwater is a Cd source, in addition to riverine, atmospheric, and anthropogenic inputs [1].
• Dissolved cadmium isotopic compositions (δ114Cd) provide insight into the biogeochemical processes controlling Cd distributions throughout the water column, including biological uptake in surface waters, regeneration, and water mass mixing at depth.
• Here we present …

Il-18 Metabolically Reprograms Car-Expressing Natural Killer T Cells And Enhances Their Antitumor Activity, Kshiti Dholakia, Piotr Humeniuk, Leidy D Caraballo Galva, Ying Wang, Gengwen Tian, Boning Yang, Linjie Guo, Michael S Wood, Xavier Rios, Xin Xu, Amy N Courtney, Erica J Di Pierro, Joan Jacob, Yi-Han Li, Akshaya Adaikkalavan, Norihiro Watanabe, Sufeng Mao, George Miles, Gianpietro Dotti, Leonid S Metelitsa

Invariant natural killer T cells (NKTs) have intrinsic anti-tumor properties that make them promising candidates for chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) immunotherapies. Transgenic cytokine expression can enhance cellular therapy potency, and we hypothesized that co-expressing IL-18 alone or with IL-15 would boost CAR-NKT therapeutic potential. To test this, we generated retroviral constructs expressing IL-15 and/or IL-18 with an inducible caspase 9 safety switch and co-transduced them with a GD2-specific CAR into human NKTs. Co-expression of IL-18 or IL-15/IL-18 increased CAR-NKT cytotoxicity, proliferation, and cytokine secretion in vitro compared to IL-15 alone. IL-18 also enhanced GPC3.CAR and CD19.CAR NKT activity against hepatocellular …

Background: Systematic profiling of plasma proteins in population studies offers a complementary approach to discovery of novel risk factors and may provide new insights into the causes of coronary heart disease.

Methods: To explore relationships between the circulating proteome and coronary heart disease (CHD), we evaluated associations of 4780 plasma proteins with incident CHD in the Cardiovascular Health Study (CHS, N=2856, 575 CHD events) and replicated significant associations in the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study (ARIC, N = 10456; 1375 events).

Results: We find that 11 proteins significantly associate with incident CHD after adjusting for risk factors; and eight significantly …

Transcriptomic Signature-Guided Depletion Of Intermediate Alveolar Epithelial Cells Ameliorates Pulmonary Fibrosis In Mice, Shahram Aliyari, Dan Shan, Aaryan Sabharwal, Qinyan Yin, Shigeki Saito, Chao He, Ivan O Rosas, Joseph A Lasky, Victor J Thannickal, Yong Zhou

Faculty, Staff and Students Publications

Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) has identified intermediate epithelial states in pulmonary fibrosis, including KRT5-/KRT17+ aberrant basaloid cells in humans and Krt8+ alveolar differentiation intermediates (ADIs) in mice. Their functional contributions to fibrogenesis, however, remain unclear. Here, we introduce an RNA-sensing-dependent protein translation technology that enables selective targeting of Krt8+ ADI cells in vitro and in vivo. Transcriptomic analysis revealed Small Proline-Rich Protein 1 A (SPRR1A) mRNA as a shared marker of murine Krt8+ ADIs and human KRT5-/KRT17+ basaloid cells, distinguishing them from other lung cell populations. Using programmable RNA sensors, we demonstrated selective EGFP-labeling of Krt8+ ADI cells in vivo, …

The Computationally Designed Tri2-2 Miniprotein Inhibitor Protects Against Multiple Sars-Cov-2 Omicron Variants, Jimin Lee, James Brett Case, Young-Jun Park, Rashmi Ravichandran, Daniel Asarnow, M Alejandra Tortorici, Jack T Brown, Shilpa Sanapala, Lauren Carter, David Baker, Michael S Diamond, David Veesler

2020-Current year OA Pubs

The continued evolution of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has compromised neutralizing antibody responses elicited by prior infection or vaccination and abolished the utility of most monoclonal antibody therapeutics. We previously described a computationally-designed, homotrimeric miniprotein inhibitor, designated TRI2-2, that protects mice against pre-Omicron SARS-CoV-2 variants. Here, we show that TRI2-2 exhibits broadly neutralizing activity of SARS-CoV-2 variants and protects mice against BQ.1.1, XBB.1.5 and BA.2.86 challenge when administered intranasally post-exposure. The resistance of TRI2-2 to viral escape by most variants and the ability to deliver it directly to the upper airways highlight the potential of the multivalent …

Eligible studies described at least one maternal health intervention addressing syphilis PMTCT and were analyzed using a …

Association Of Neighborhood Economic Trajectories And Risk Of Mortality Among Older Adults

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

Background

Lower neighborhood socioeconomic status (SES) and decline in neighborhood SES have been linked to detrimental health outcomes, such as cardiovascular disease (CVD), cancer, and mortality. However, few studies have investigated distinct types of neighborhood economic trajectories in relation to mortality. We examined the association between the recently developed multidimensional measure of neighborhood trajectories and mortality in older adults enrolled in the National Institutes of Health-AARP Diet and Health Study (NIH-AARP).

Methods

Neighborhoods were classified into five groups based on economic change patterns from 2000 to 2016 using American Community Survey data: Stability, Growth, Displacement, Abandonment, and Poverty Concentration. Mortality …

Gene-environment interactions may enhance our understanding of blood pressure (BP) biology. We conducted a meta-analysis of multi-population genome-wide association studies (GWASs) of BP traits accounting for gene-depressive symptomatology (DEPR) interactions. Our study included 564,680 adults from 67 cohorts and four population backgrounds: African (5%), Asian (7%), European (85%), and Hispanic (3%). We discovered seven previously unreported BP loci showing gene-DEPR interaction. These loci mapped to genes implicated in neurogenesis (TGFA and CASP3), lipid metabolism (ACSL1), neuronal apoptosis (CASP3), and synaptic activity (CNTN6 and DBI). We also showed evidence for gene-DEPR interaction at nine known BP loci, further suggesting links between …

Secure Distributed Multiple Imputation Enables Missing Data Inference For Private Data Proprietors, Xiaoqian Jiang

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

Scattered between many healthcare providers across the US, Electronic Health Records (EHR) are extensively used for research purposes. Collaboration and sharing of EHRs between multiple institutions often provide access to more diverse datasets and a chance to conduct comprehensive studies. However, these collaboration efforts are usually hindered by privacy issues that render the pooling of such data at a centralized database impossible. Furthermore, EHRs are often incomplete and require statistical imputation prior to the study. To enable collaborative studies on top of incomplete, private EHRs, here we provide a provably secure solution built with secure multiparty computation (SMC) that provides …

Sultan Qaboos University Medical Journal

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate real-world glycaemic outcomes associated with flash glucose monitoring (FGM) use in patients with diabetes at Sultan Qaboos University Hospital, Muscat, Oman. Methods: This retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted among diabetic patients using flash glucose monitoring between January 2022 and August 2023. Patients were grouped by scanning frequency, time-in-range (TIR) and estimated A1c (eA1c). Associations between scanning frequency and glycaemic metrics were analysed. Results: A total of 436 patients were included in this study. Patients with higher scanning frequency (≥12 scans/day, median = 17) achieved greater TIR (52.4% versus 34.8%), lower time-above-range (41.8% versus 57.0%), …

Biochar To Improve The Thermal Performance Of Living Wall Systems: Laboratory Assessment Of Three Planting Substrates, Joao Alencastro, Thomas Murphy, Jack Morewood, Steve Goodhew

School of Art, Design and Architecture

Living wall systems (LWSs) help to alleviate the climate and biodiversity harms associated with buildings and bring benefits to building occupants. Their performance can be variable and existing research points to the planting substrate as a key design factor. This study provides quantitative evidence on the physical, thermal and moisture performance of three planting substrates that vary according to the proportion of biochar added to green waste compost (GWC). Thermal conductivity (Wm−1 K−1), thermal resistivity (mK W−1), volumetric moisture content (%) and mass (g) are measured for each fraction, replicated six times. Controlled drying procedures were employed, measuring these properties …

Grief, Memory, And Hope: Significance Of Ancestral Land In Psalm 137, “By The Rivers Of Babylon,” In Healing Intergenerational Migration Trauma, Shimbo Pastory William

Loyola Papers

Psalm 137 presents a paradigmatic expression of exile and lament, and the power of shared hope to return to the ancestral land. Memories trigger strong feelings and a firm resolve not to “forget” the ancestral home. This paper argues from a constructive perspective that in Psalm 137, the memory of ancestral land is not merely nostalgic or a source of grief, but it functions as a theological act that preserves communal identity and sustains hope for restoration and healing. Even today, we feel strongly about land, especially ancestral lands, because they are closely connected to our identity, cherished memories, grief, …

Sola Scriptura As Prima Scriptura: A Modern Evangelical Protestant Reflection On The Sufficiency Of Scripture, Jason Valeriano Hallig

Loyola Papers

This paper offers a critical evangelical response to Salvador G. Agualada Jr.’s analysis of the Protestant principle of sola Scripturaa, particularly his engagement with Roman Catholic critiques grounded in Yves Congar’s arguments concerning the temporal precedence of tradition and the alleged formal insufficiency of Scripture. While acknowledging the historical development of Protestant reflection on Scripture and tradition, this study argues that sola Scriptura is best understood not as the exclusion of tradition but as the affirmation of Scripture’s normative and final authority within the life of the church. Drawing on contemporary evangelical theology, the paper proposes that this principle …

Purpose: Although most patients with follicular lymphoma (FL) can expect an indolent course, progressive lymphoma remains the primary cause of death during the first decade after diagnosis. Progression of disease within 24 months (POD24) of starting first-line (1L) immunochemotherapy defines a high-risk population with poor survival, but better risk stratification at diagnosis is needed.

Methods: The FLIPI24 model was developed and internally validated to predict 24-month event rates using individual data from 4,485 patients treated with 1L immunochemotherapy from 10 observational cohorts of FL. Overall and cause-specific survival was further evaluated in FLIPI24 risk groups. External validation in the 1L …

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

Background: Radiotherapy is an integral component of treatment for oropharyngeal cancer. Toxicity from the current state-of-the-art photon radiotherapy, intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), has prompted the search for alternative, less toxic therapies. One such alternative that might de-intensify treatment is proton therapy. In this trial, we aimed to directly compare IMRT with intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT), both concurrent with systemic therapy, hypothesising comparable disease control and survival and lower toxicity.

Methods: This randomised, multicentre, open-label, non-inferiority, phase 3 trial was conducted in 21 sites (cancer centres or universities) in the USA. Patients (aged ≥18 years) with stage III or stage IV …

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

Due to the paucity of validated cell surface osteosarcoma-specific targets, patients with this condition have long been excluded from the benefits of antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) therapy observed in patients with several solid and hematologic malignancies. Our comprehensive surfaceome profiling approach previously identified osteosarcoma-specific cell-surface antigens that are highly expressed in osteosarcomas but minimally expressed in normal tissues. As a result, one such antigen, CADM1, was selected for the generation of an ADC. We tested a CADM1-targeting ADC with a tesirine payload (SG3249) in vitro in osteosarcoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, and neuroblastoma patient-derived xenograft cell lines. In vivo, we tested six CADM1-expressing osteosarcoma …

An Optimized Hybrid Xgboost-Lstm-Gru Model For Energy Consumption Forecasting In Smart Homes Using Weather Data, Marwah J. Salman, Eman M. El-Gendy, Amira Y. Haikal, Mahmoud M. Saafan

Mansoura Engineering Journal

Energy consumption is increasing every day due to the proliferation of smart homes and smart household appliances, which deplete existing energy resources. Therefore, efficient energy management by accurately predicting energy consumption is critical. In this paper, a hybrid prediction model is proposed to forecast energy consumption in smart homes using weather data. The proposed system follows five steps: data acquisition, data preprocessing, feature selection, prediction, and hyperparameter optimization. In the data acquisition step, all attributes except the weather attributes are removed. The min-max algorithm is then applied to normalize the dataset to a specific scale, preventing the prediction model from …
