Aim: To investigate whether the World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule 2.0 (WHODAS) can provide interval level measurement of disability in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), allowing parametric analyses. Methods: Data on the WHODAS 12, 32, and 36-item versions, from 1120 patients studied at one or more time points, were fit to the Rasch model and comparisons made against ALSFRS-R, King’s staging, and mortality. Trajectory modeling was undertaken for a newly diagnosed (≤6 months) cohort of...

Most value-based decision-making (VBDM) tasks instruct people to make value judgements about stimuli using wording relating to consumption, however in some contexts this may be inappropriate. This study aims to explore whether variations of trial wording capture a common construct of value. This is a pre-registered experimental study with a within-subject design. Fifty-nine participants completed a two-alternative forced-choice task where they chose between two food images. Participants completed three blocks of trials: one asked which...

Despite a growing body of literature examining the politics of city-regionalism, the question of how local actors engage with, and challenge each other in the subnational regulatory space requires greater attention if we are to develop a more comprehensive understanding of supposedly pluralist approaches to policy making. This paper critically evaluates policy innovations in Greater Manchester (GM) that seek to steer the behaviour of economic actors towards a mutually reinforcing model of decent work and...

Abstract Background Faculty-development programmes for health professions educators focus on capacity building, which may not recognise the pre-existing skills and knowledge of participants. A shift to capacity development that recognises the individual and collective skills and knowledge of faculty is needed.
Objectives To explore the contribution an African faculty-development programme made to the professional and personal development of faculty and teaching in the programme. Also, to investigate the contribution the programme made to the...

A family of space- and time-optimised prefactored compact schemes are developed that minimise the computational cost for given levels of numerical error in wave propagation phenomena, with special reference to aerodynamic sound. This work extends the approach of Pirozzoli [1] to the MacCormack type prefactored compact high-order schemes developed by Hixon [2], in which their shorter Padé stencil from the pre- factorisation leads to a simpler enforcement of numerical boundary conditions. An explicit low-storage multi-step...

Objective: The conventional Fontan circulation deviates the superior vena cava (SVC = 1/3 of the systemic venous return) toward the right lung (3/5 of total lung volume) and the inferior vena cava (IVC = 2/3 of the systemic venous return) toward the left lung (2/5 of total lung volume). A “physiological” Fontan deviating the SVC toward the left lung and the IVC toward the right lung was compared with the conventional setting by computational fluid...
