Sofa-Surfing: The Cartographies of Young People Utilising Host-Dependent Shelter.
… of UK young people (16-25 years) reported having sofa-surfed in the past. Past research highlights that spaces where people sofa-surfing stay are often tenuous, short-lived and worsen over time, reducing mental health, educational attainment, and the ability to find work (McLoughlin, 2013; …

Predicting Individual Components of the SOFA Score using Multi-Task Learning
The Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score is a scoring system useful for predicting clinical outcomes in the intensive care unit, such as organ failure and mortality. The availability of increasingly detailed electronic clinical data has allowed for the creation of more powerful models …

A Comparative Study of the United States Status of Forces Agreements with Korea and Japan
… States Status of Forces Agreement (ROK-U.S. SOFA) affords greater immunities and protections to U.S. service personnel than does the Japan-U.S. SOFA. One significant source of tension for Korean-American relations over the years has been the belief of many Koreans that Japan is given greater …

"Plastic off the sofa" : an exploration of graduate student clinicians' perceptions of clinical training experiences and their preparation to work with Black clients
Considering systemic racism and reverberating impacts of racial trauma Black Americans experience, mental healthcare underutilization in Black communities is a pervasive public health concern. Using the psychology of radical healing and intersectionality frameworks, the present study utilizes a …

Major traumatic injury : serum cytokine biomarkers as predictors of poor clinical outcome
… the Sequential organ failure assessment scores (SOFA), day 1 concentrations were compared to day 5 and day 8 at 2 different cut-offs, namely SOFA score <3 and ≥ 3 and SOFA score <6 and ≥6. This stratification showed no statistically significant differences meaning SOFA cut offs did not account …

Investigating cytokine biomarkers as early predictors of poor clinical outcome following major trauma
… of Sequential organ failure assessment scores (SOFA) on Day 5 (cut off >3), statisticallysignificant differences were observed in the Day 1 IL-10 and IL-6 levels at the cut off >3 forthe respective SOFA score (IL-10 p=0.023, IL -6 p=0.015) indicating a strong potential fortheir use as early …

Investigating Interleukin – 8 and TGF Beta as early biomarkers predicting poor clinical outcome in major trauma
… calculated Sequential Organ Failure assessment SOFA scores on Day 1 and 5. A SOFA score of ≥3 was deemed as a cut off to denote early organ failure. IL-8 and TGF-β levels on Day 1 were compared in patients clustered based on SOFA scores (≥3 cut offs) on Day 5. While higher levels were observed …
