Involvement of relatives in care : the views of patients and their relatives
… study was motivated by the question of whether relatives would like to become more involved in patient care. It explores the hypothesis that there is a present lack of participation in care. It also investigates whether both relatives and their related patients prefer physical, psychological, or …

On reduced relatives with genitive subjects
What is the place of relatives with genitive subjects in a typology of relative clauses? Are they full or reduced, headed or free relatives? Can they appear pre- and postnominally? Can they be head-internal relatives? Are they finite or non-finite? Can they be restrictives and appositives? These …

Occupational related consequences for relatives of firefighters
… impacts of the firefighting occupation on relatives of firefighters and the resources they use to manage those impacts. This was undertaken using a sequential mixed methods approach through three empirical studies. Findings across the thesis include the development of the firefighter …

Using phenotyped but ungenotyped relatives in genetic association tests
… DNA for genetic studies. Genotypes of their relatives are often available. The main question we address is how and when one should incorporate phenotyped but ungenotyped relatives into genetic association tests. For genotypes missing completely at random (MCAR) and a quantitative outcome, …

A comprehensive microbiome analysis of wheat and its wild relatives
… the core community of microbes in wild wheat relatives and how they differ from the microbiome of cultivated wheat. This study compares the bacterial and fungal taxa found in and on the leaves, roots, and rhizosphere of three accessions of hard winter wheat and 14 accessions of eight wild …

Empiric risk to first-degree relatives of Alzheimer disease patients
… generated and evaluated for 1867 first-degree relatives of 338 Alzheimer Disease (AD) index cases and 1873 first-degree relativesof 351 non-cognitively impaired, non-demented elderly controls. A cumulative lifetime risk of 26.73 ± 4.42% for first-degree relatives of AD cases, while …

Understanding Plant Pathosystems in Wild Relatives of Cultivated Crop Plants
… vulnerable to diverse pathogen populations. Wild relatives of crop plants are a reservoir for new disease resistance traits that can be introgressed into cultivated crops. The identification of novel disease resistance is of paramount importance because pathogen co-evolution is not only defeating …

Defining Microbiome Stability in First-Degree Relatives of Inflammatory Bowel Disease Patients
… and progression of the disease. In first-degree relatives (FDR) of IBD patients risk is notably increased, yet most FDRs don’t progress to develop the condition despite sharing genetic and environmental risk factors. Limited research has sought to characterise the microbiome in this uniquely …

Comparative analyses identify adaptive genetic variation in crops and crop wild relatives
… variants in the genomes of crops and crop wild relatives. These approaches have the potential to identify genetic variants that are under selection and thus potentially contributing to local adaptation. As a background to the dissertation, I present in Chapter 1 the state of research in this …

Relatives' experiences of 'last resort' interventions for people with mental health difficulties
The thesis entitled ‘Relatives’ experiences of ‘last resort’ interventions for people with mental health difficulties’ explores how families experience the psychiatric hospitalisation of a relative and their treatment with electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). Section one presents a meta-synthesis of 14 …

Secure Discovery of Genetic Relatives across Large-Scale and Distributed Genomic Datasets
Finding relatives within a study cohort is a necessary step in many genomic studies. However, when the cohort is distributed across multiple entities subject to data-sharing restrictions, performing this step often becomes infeasible. Developing a privacy-preserving solution for this task is …

Older Relatives Raising Adolescents: the Relationship Between Age of Caregiver and Youth Delinquent Acts
<p>This dissertation explores delinquency in youth raised by grandparents and other older caregivers as compared to delinquency in youth raised by parents. It has been posited here that youth raised by grandparents and other older caregivers are more likely to commit delinquent acts. This study …
