A multimodal deep learning approach to oncologic outcome prediction in head and neck cancer

Anyimadu, Eric Ababio

Head and neck cancer (HNC) patients often experience complex, long-term treatment- and disease-related side effects that substantially impair their quality of life and, in some cases, survival. A large volume of heterogeneous data is routinely collected for these patients, including patient-reported outcomes (PROs), or...

The Matthean Jesus's temple action as the climax of Matthew's return of Elijah theme

Geddis, Aaron William

This thesis argues that the Matthean Jesus’s temple action was the fulfilment of Mal 3:24, where YHWH says that if Elijah is unsuccessful in his eschatological task, then when YHWH comes, he will strike the land with a curse of destruction. The literature review (1.6) surveys recent works on Jesus’s temple action which...

Developing scientists who are equipped with science practices

Van Wyk, Andrea Lynn

The last study focused on the MICRO project was the determination of changes in faculty’s beliefs and instructional practices and the ways that participation in the MICRO project or other contextual and personal factors impacted those changes. Participants’ survey responses, interviews, and laboratory material were ana...

Using the reverse engineering method for improvisation (REMI) to transform old compositions into new improvisations

Chen, Yu-Hsiang Abby

Spatial dynamics of the evolution and spread of antibiotic-resistant Escherichia coli in the United States

Tang, Zhuo 'Austin'

Complementing the examination of genotypic resistance at the national and regional scales, We employed a large sample population of Veteran’s Health Administration outpatients in seven Midwest states to examine the county-level spatial patterns of and individual- and community-level risk factors for phenotypic resistan...

Beyond sedentary cognitive control: Effectors in spatial conflict resolution

Malaei, Fereidoun

Prevailing executive function (EF) measures, although central to both theory and practice, are largely grounded in abstract, top-down models that overlook the critical role of motor processes in real-world cognitive control. To address this gap, this thesis examines how effector-specific body engagement impacts EF perf...

Estimating the incidence, distribution and determinants of stroke in New Zealand and its regions, using linked data from the integrated data infrastructure and the fifth Auckland Regional Community Stroke study

Whyte, Mina

BackgroundStroke is the third leading cause of mortality and the fourth most common cause of disability globally. Unlike other World Bank high-income countries, available estimates show no decrease in stroke incidence in New Zealand over the last decade, however, these estimates are regional and periodic. Understanding...

Three essays on ESG disclosure credibility

Hussain, Abrar

This thesis comprises three essays that examine the economic consequences of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) disclosure credibility. The central premise is that the value of ESG reporting depends not only on the extent of disclosure, but also on the degree to which such disclosures are aligned with firms’ u...

Curcumin, Gingerol, and Natural Polymer Loaded 3D Printed Calcium Phosphate Scaffolds and Coated Ti Implants for Orthopedic and Dental Applications

Bhattacharjee, Arjak

Chemical modification of curcumin using polymer-metal-drug complexation leads to ~ 2.5 times enhancement in drug release in biological media at pH 5.0 and 7.4, as compared to only curcumin. The presence of curcumin shows up to ~ 9 times lesser osteosarcoma viability than that of the control after 11 days of cell cultur...

Return to Homeostasis: Targeting Autonomic Flexibility Through Heart Rate Variability Biofeedback for Co- Occurring PTSD and Chronic Pain

Chadwick, THEA

Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and chronic pain (CP) are highly co-occurring conditions, characterised by poor treatment outcomes and shared mechanisms that exacerbate symptom severity and functional impairment. This randomised, waitlist-controlled trial evaluated the efficacy of a six-week heart rate variability...
