    Abstract Introduction: The use of immune checkpoint inhibitors has fundamentally changed the treatment landscape of solid tumors in recent years. Even in advanced stages or in tumors with historically poor prognosis, such as triple-negative breast cancer, progression-free survival, as well as overall survival of affected individuals, have considerably improved. As a result, the side effects and consequences of therapy, their detection, and treatment are becoming an increasingly important part of patient follow-up.

    Abstract Optic neuritis (ON) is an acute inflammatory, demyelinating event affecting the optic nerve, and a common manifestation in multiple sclerosis (MS). It can affect MS patients throughout their disease course, and 20 % of patients present with acute ON as their initial symptom. ON primarily affects the optic nerve in its myelinated portion, but also triggers neurodegeneration in the entire afferent visual pathway (AVP) through retrograde and anterograde (trans-synaptic) degeneration. Visual outcomes are diverse, including severe persistent visual impairment. High-dose corticosteroids are the current mainstay in the therapy of acute autoimmune ON. However, despite clear acceleration of functional visual recovery in the short-term, any mid- to long-term impact on visual outcomes remains unproven. Apart from its high prevalence and clinical relevance, ON also offers a unique model to study neurodegeneration as well as the potential of neuroprotective and –regenerative therapies: a clinical episode of acute ON can be assigned in its occurrence to an approximate time window, and in its impact on tissue integrity to a discrete, anatomically isolated structure. The AVP is retinotopically organized, linking its structural integrity with clinical function. Almost the entire AVP can be probed using imaging tools of different modalities, including optical coherence tomography (OCT) and structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques such as diffusion-tensor-imaging (DTI). Furthermore, the function of the AVP can be assessed by simple but sensitive measurements such as low-contrast visual acuity (LCVA). Therefore, ON provides an optimal paradigm to study the consequences of an MS-relapse on tissue integrity and function. In the first section of this thesis, we reviewed the growing relevance of monitoring the thicknesses of different retinal layers using OCT to reveal AVP damage in MS. We summarized that the thicknesses of the macular ganglion cell and inner plexiform layer (GCIP) and the peripapillary retinal nerve ...

    Abstract Genomic selection was deployed in Lacaune dairy breed in 2015. Lacaune population split in 1972 into 2 breeding companies with associated flocks, and there have been very few exchanges of animals between the subpopulations, leading to divergence of the 2 subpopulations. In spite of that, there is a joint genomic prediction. The objective of this study is to understand how this structuring affects prediction accuracy. We analyzed all the data available from Lacaune breeding program for milk yield: around 6 million phenotypes, 2 million animals in the pedigree and more than 29,000 genotyped animals, including 3,434 and 2,868 AI rams for each company. To consider missing pedigree, we set up genetic groups using the theory of metafounders. First, we studied the pedigree and genomic structures of the 2 subpopulations calculating F

    Abstract Soil wetness is an important property in determining the variable disposition of hillslopes to shallow landslides. Recent studies have demonstrated the potential of in situ soil wetness information for landslide early warning. However, the spatial representativeness of in situ sensors may be affected by local heterogeneities of soil properties and hydrological processes, and their installation may be destructive. Electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) has been used in the past to estimate plot‐scale soil moisture variation and may overcome these limitations. In this study, we installed and operated an automated ERT monitoring system on a landslide‐prone hillslope in the Napf region (Switzerland). The system was operational during a period of 9 mo, and measurements were conducted at high temporal resolution and under different soil hydrological conditions. Electrical resistivity was measured along two perpendicular profile lines in Wenner–Schlumberger configuration at 0.25‐m electrode spacing. Soil saturation was calculated by the Archie's law and the parameters were fitted with colocated soil moisture sensors. Comparison of ERT‐derived soil moisture with soil wetness from in situ sensors showed a good correlation, and infiltration properties critical for landslide early warning could be reliably reproduced. Further, analysis of spatial saturation variation revealed that ERT was capable to detect heterogeneities of soil hydrological process. Under highly saturated conditions, the reliability of the saturation estimation was affected by an increased number of faulty measurements and the spatial heterogeneity of the infiltration process.

    Abstract Recent studies have demonstrated the potential of in situ soil wetness measurements to predict regional shallow landslides. Increasing availability of monitoring data from sensor networks provides valuable information for developing future regional landslide early warning systems (LEWSs); however, most existing monitoring sites are located on flat terrain. The question arises of if the representativeness for regional landslide activity would improve if sensors were installed on a landslide-prone hillslope. To address this, two soil wetness monitoring stations were installed at close proximity on a steep slope and on a flat location in the Napf region (Northern Alpine Foreland of Switzerland), and measurements were conducted over a period of 3 years. As both sites inhibit similar lithological, vegetation, and precipitation characteristics, soil hydrological differences can be attributed to the impact of topography and hydrogeology. At the sloped site, conditions were generally wetter and less variable in time, and evidence was found for temporary lateral water transport along the slope. These differences were systematic and could be reduced by considering relative soil moisture changes. The application of a statistical landslide forecast model showed that both sites were equally able to distinguish critical from non-critical conditions for landslide triggering, which demonstrates the value of existing monitoring sites in flat areas for the application in LEWSs.
