Show moreThe goal of the research presented in this article was to construct a theory about the influence of decision cues on intuitive and deliberative decision-making in high-hazard construction environments. Drawing from Cognitive Continuum Theory, the article specifies a framework for understanding why and how construction workers make decisions that lead to taking or avoiding physical risks when they encounter daily hazards. A secondary aim of the research was to construct a set of hypotheses about how specific decision cues influence whether a worker is more likely to engage their intuitive impulses or to use careful deliberation when responding to a hazard. These hypotheses are described in this article, and the efficacy of the hypotheses was evaluated using cross-tabulations and nonparametric measures of association. While most of the associations between decision cues and decision mode (i.e., intuition or deliberation) identified in this data set were generally modest, none of the associations were statistically zero, thus indicating that further research is warranted based on theoretical grounds. A rigorous program of theory testing is the next logical step to the research, and the article thus concludes with numerous suggestions for extending the research and testing the proposed hypotheses.

Show moreEnlarged perivascular spaces (EPVS) have been associated with aging, increased stroke risk, decreased cognitive function and vascular dementia. Furthermore, recent studies have investigated the links of EPVS with the glymphatic system (GS), since perivascular spaces are thought to play a major role as the main channels for clearance of interstitial solutes from the brain. However, the relationship of EPVS with age-related neuropathologies is not well understood. Therefore, more conclusive studies are needed to elucidate specific relationships between EPVS and neuropathologies. After demonstration of their neuropathologic correlates, detailed assessment of EPVS severity could provide as a potential biomarker for specific neuropathologies.In this dissertation, our focus was twofold: to develop a fully automatic EPVS segmentation model via deep learning with a set of guidelines for model optimization, and to evaluate both manual and automatic assessment of EPVS severity to investigate the neuropathologic correlates of EPVS, and their contribution to cognitive decline, by combining ex-vivo brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and pathology (from autopsy) in a large community-based cohort of older adults. This project was structured as follows. First, a manual approach was used to assess neuropathologic and cognitive correlates of EPVS burden in a large dataset of community-dwelling older adults. MR images from each participant were rated using a semiquantitative 4-level rating scale, and a group of identified EPVS was histologically evaluated. Two groups of participants in descending order of average cognitive impairment were defined based and studied. Elasticnet regularized ordinal logistic regression was used to assess the neuropathologic correlates of EPVS burden in each group, and linear mixed effects models were used to investigate the associations of EPVS burden with cognitive decline. Second, a fully automatic EPVS segmentation model was implemented via deep learning (DL) using a small dataset of 10 manually segmented brain MR images. Multiple techniques were evaluated to optimize performance, mainly by implementing strategies to reduce model overfitting. The final segmentation model was evaluated in an independent test set and the performance was validated with an expert radiologist. Third, the DL segmentation model was used to segment and quantify EPVS. Quantified EPVS (qEPVS) were evaluated by combining ex-vivo MRI, pathology, and longitudinal cognitive evaluation. EPVS quantification allowed to study qEPVS both in the whole brain and regionally. Two different qEPVS metrics were studied. Elastic-net regularized linear regression was used to assess the neuropathologic correlates of qEPVS within each region of interest (ROI) under study, and linear mixed effects models were used to investigate the associations of qEPVS with cognitive decline. Finally, a preliminary study investigated the longitudinal associations of qEPVS with time. The DL segmentation model was re-trained using 4 in-vivo MR images. EPVS were segmented and quantified in a large longitudinal cohort where each participant was imaged at multiple timepoints. Factors that influenced segmentation performance across timepoints were evaluated, and linear mixed effects models controlling for these factors were used to investigate the associations of qEPVS with time.
