Hemoadsorption With Cytosorb As Part Of A Strategy To Improve Outcomes In Patients On Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation, Ruzica Mrkonjic

The VAD Journal

The exposure of a patient’s blood to the non-endothelialized surface of the extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) system results in the production of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines. This imbalance in pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines leads to inflammatory response syndrome, which contributes to edema, vasoplegia, and multiple organ failure among other complications. Hemoadsorption therapy, with the use of CytoSorb^® (CytoSorbents) has emerged as a well-accepted treatment option that helps control pro-inflammatory response and improve outcomes for patients on ECMO. However, studies have shown that the potential of hemoadsorption is controversial and that it is crucial for clinicians to weigh the pros …

Orphans Of The Orissa Famine: Capital, Charity, And Coercion In The Missionary System, Sarah Mende

SMU Journal of Undergraduate Research

Some of the most profound effects Britain imposed on society in Orissa, India came as a result of the missions that formed the majority of the protective infrastructure during the Orissa famine. Shortly after the British began their occupation of Orissa, a network of Protestant Christian missions based in England began to move into the region. Leadership came from the Christian Missionary Society, an Evangelical Anglican group, as well as Baptist figures such as Rev. J. Buckley. Their move was difficult, and for many years unsuccessful. However, the British East India Company and the Raj that followed it would pave …

Context Aware Music Recommendation And Playlist Generation, Elias Mann

SMU Journal of Undergraduate Research

There are many reasons people listen to music, and the type of music is largely determined by what the listener may be doing while they listen. For example, one may listen to one type of music while commuting, another while exercising, and yet another while relaxing. Without access to the physiological state of the user, current music recommendation methods rely on collaborative filtering - recommending music based on what other similar users listen to - and content based filtering - recommending songs based on their similarities to songs the user already prefers. With the rise in popularity of smart devices …

Spirituality And The Development Of An Organizational Compliance And Ethics Program, Michael A. Meyer

Journal of Religion and Business Ethics

Major corporate scandals and heightened government enforcement of ethical lapses in the workplace continue to emphasize the importance of an effective compliance and ethics program. Compliance and ethics programs effectively became mandatory when the United States Federal Sentencing Commission amended the Federal Sentencing Guidelines for Organizations in 2004 to recognize the existence of an effective compliance and ethics program as a mitigating consideration in the sentencing of organizations convicted of criminal conduct. While legalistic codes, policies, and procedures have become the normative response to the Sentencing Guidelines, soul-less documents in and of themselves will not develop the “thoughtful behavior” upon …

Foresight: Trusting And Using The Information From Data Analytics To Support Decision-Making In Pharmaceutical Manufacturing, Marcus O’Mahony, Paul Bassett, Alan Kavanagh, Anthony Maguire, Aoife Corrigan, Barry Malone, Michael Walshe, Siobhán Griffin, Thomas Coleman, Margot Holland, Kate Courtney, Carl Rafferty, Anne Greene, Damon Warnock

Journal of Applied Pharmaceutical Regulatory Science

Background: Data is not information. Information is actionable. Data, alone, is not. This distinction has significant risk management consequences when using data to support decision-making in the highly regulated pharma and biopharma manufacturing sector. A new framework is proposed to support the trustworthy use of the information generated from data, by data analytics, for effective risk-based decision-making. The emergence of a standardised approach for using such information is essential to avoid duplication and divergence of efforts across the sector. Ensuring that any proposed approach aligns with regulatory expectations for the sector is also essential.

Methods: Through an industry-academic collaboration, over …

Rela&Onship Between The Height Of Graphene And Its Adhesion Value, Tyler Larson

Senior Theses

Two-dimensional materials, such as graphene, have remarkable proper&es. As one of the thinnest, strongest, and most conduc&ve materials known to humanity, graphene holds promise for revolu&onizing numerous technological applica&ons. These applica&ons all require different numbers of layers of graphene. However, with graphene being so thin it is difficult to quickly determine how many layers there are. By using an adhesion value and a height value of graphene one may be able to iden&fy the number of layers more accurately.
