The aim of this thesis is to make policy recommendations for Turkey in order to facilitate innovative activities resulting in more patent applications in pharmaceutical industry through comparing her with the selected countries / USA, EU, Japan, India, China and Korea. The comparison is performed in terms of the patent, research and development (R&amp / D) expenditures and basic research. This study begins with firstly indicating the relationship between patents and innovation in sector basis. When it is looked at this relationship patents are the most necessary tool for pharmaceutical industry. Therefore, in the main part of the thesis the patents and innovations in pharmaceutical sector are analyzed mostly. However, this analysis is not done in all aspects but it is done in terms of research and development expenditures and basic research. Patent is mainly a result of research and development activities. Besides, basic research is also effective in making innovations and so in patent system. Because of these reasons, the relationship between patents and innovations in pharmaceutical industry are covered in terms of these two aspects-R&amp / D expenditures and basic v research-. These relationships are analyzed in country level. In this thesis, in order to see the right route for Turkey and give some advises to Turkish patent and innovation system especially in pharmaceutical industry Turkey is compared with USA, EU, Japan, China, India and Korea. The reason to take USA, EU and Japan is that, these countries are developed countries, the biggest patent offices in the world are in these countries and the number of patent applications is the highest in the offices of these countries. On the other hand, China, India and Korea are taken as subject to the comparison because these countries are developing countries like Turkey and the development levels of these countries are not too higher than Turkey. In this thesis, through comparing Turkey with the selected countries, some policy recommendations are done for Turkey and this thesis may open door to further studies on the patent and innovation system of Turkey especially in pharmaceutical industry.

Chorea Acanthocytosis (ChAc) is an autosomal recessive inherited disease caused by loss- of-function mutation in the VPS13A gene which encodes CHOREIN protein. This study used induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) as well as neural progenitor cells (NPCs) to generate medium spiny neurons (MSN) as well as midbrain dopaminergic neurons (mDAN). The first objective of this thesis was to generate and characterize a stem cell based disease model of ChAc. The second objective was to establish two different differentiation protocols that yield different neuronal sub types that are affected in ChAc, and compare whether they harbor similar phenotypes and whether the faster protocol can be used to model the disease accurately. The generated iPSCs were characterized using AP staining as an early marker for reprogramming, qPCR for analysis of residual expression of exogenous transcription factors, immunocytochemistry (ICC) for staining of pluripotency markers as well as markers for mesoderm, ectoderm and endoderm formation upon three germ layer formation. Karyotyping was conducted to exclude aberrant clones. Western blot using CHOREIN antibody revealed that the cell lines retained their disease identity. There were no differences observed between wild type and ChAc lines in stem cell and neuron populations in either protocol. qPCR analysis, investigating the expression of previously described markers for characterization, revealed no significant clustering between wild type and ChAc lines in either protocol. A disturbed ratio of globular and filamentous actin is causative for the aberrant shape of ChAc erythrocytes. Investigation of the ratio in mature neurons revealed a significant reduction of this ratio in MSN but no difference in mDAN cultures. When the ratio of cytosolic and filamentous tubulin and the acetylation of tubulin were investigated, no differences were found between wild type and ChAc lines. Mature neurons of both differentiation protocols were subjected to treatment with the proteotoxic stress inducer L-canavanine and the unfolded protein response (UPR) inducer tunicamycin. Survival was analyzed with the PrestoBlue assay as well as lactate dehydroxylase (LDH) release assay. Both cultures of mature neurons showed an increased susceptibility to the respective drugs. Furthermore the data suggests that MSN cultures are more vulnerable against proteotoxic stress (L-canavanine). Kinetics of tunicamycin poisoning were not different within MSN cultures but indicated a late cell death of ChAc lines under mDAN differentiation conditions. DNA damage plays a major role in the progression of neurodegenerative diseases. The amount of double strand breaks (DSB) was assessed in mature cultures of MSN and mDAN differentiations. There was no difference in basal level of DSB. When etoposide was applied to induce DNA damage, increased susceptibility of ChAc lines was observed. Albeit significant, the effect size was very small. Seahorse was used to characterize energy metabolism. Glycolysis was not impaired in ChAc lines in either protocol. Furthermore, MSN differentiation showed no difference in any parameter related to oxidative phosphorylation, while under mDAN conditions, coupling efficiency and spare respiratory capacity was increased for ChAc lines. The non-respiratory oxygen consumption was increased in ChAc lines in MSN cultures but decreased in mDAN cultures. The yeast homolog of VPS13A interacts with vesicle and mitochondrial membranes. Therefore, this study focuses on vesicle and mitochondria homeostasis. Live cell imaging of mature neurons of MSN differentiations revealed a decreased amount and reduced motility of mitochondria. Even though mitochondria were normally shaped their size was reduced. mDAN differentiations harbored a reduced amount and shortened mitochondria. These mitochondria, however, showed an increased motility. When analyzing aligned mature neurons in microfluidic chambers (MFCs), a strong phenotype was already observed in proximal regions, which resembled the distal parts of the channels. Hence, the dysregulation, that occurs distal in healthy controls, happens closer to the soma in diseased cells. The mitochondria potential marker JC-1 showed a hyperpolarization of mitochondria in MSN culture and a depolarization in mDAN cultures. When investigated in MFCs of mDAN cultures, there was a significant increase in potential observed at the distal position of ChAc lines, while wild type cultures showed no difference. Experiments conducted on the lysosomal compartments showed a decrease in proximal parts of ChAc MSN cultures when compared to wild type. Their shape was altered as well. mDAN cultures featured no significant morphological changes. Trafficking analysis revealed an increase in motility in MSN cultures but a decrease in mDAN cultures. When lysosomes were analyzed in MFCs only mDAN cultures showed an increase in retrograde transport. In order to investigate whether the in vitro phenotypes of Huntington (Htt) and ChAc are similar, some of the previous experiments were conducted in MSN differentiations of one Htt line. Cells from Htt behaved similar to ChAc lines when DNA damage response was investigated. Analysis of mitochondrial parameters showed no difference as well. However, the non-respiratory oxygen consumption was not increased and resembled wild type. When Htt neurons were investigated during live cell imaging, shortened mitochondria were found. Their number was not reduced significantly. However, a trend for reduction was observed. Mitochondria of Htt cells were more motile than ChAc or wild type lines. Mitochondrial potential was increased in Htt and comparable to ChAc. Lysosomal count showed a reduction and the area of Htt lysosomes was significantly smaller than wild type or ChAc. Lysosomes of Htt cells were more motile than their wild type or ChAc counterparts.

Syftet med denna studie är att bidra med ökad kunskap om lärande och undervisning i informell statistisk inferens. I studien användes en kvalitativ forskningsstrategi inriktad mot prövning och generering av teorier med inspiration av grounded theory. Studiens kunskapsfokus är riktad mot karakterisering av statistiska processer och begrepp där system av begreppsramverk om informell statistisk inferens och modellering utgör en central del av forskningen. För att erhålla adekvat empiri utformades en undervisningssituation där elever engagerades med att planera och genomföra en undersökning. Studien genomfördes i en normal klassrumssituation där undervisningen inriktades mot ett område inom sannolikhet och statistisk där bland annat lådagram och normalfördelning med tillhörande begrepp introduceras. Det empiriska materialet samlades in genom videoinspelning och skriftliga redovisningar. Materialet analyserades genom ett sammansatt ramverk om informell statistisk inferens och modellering. Resultatet av analysen visar exempel på hur elever kan förväntas uttrycka aspekter av informella statistisk inferens då de genomför statistiska undersökningar. Vidare utvecklades ett ramverk som teoretiskt beskriver informell statistisk inferens i modelleringssituationer. Studien pekar på att ISI-modellering har potential att användas för att analysera hur informell statistisk inferens kan komma till uttryck och att identifiera potentiella inlärningsmöjligheter för studenter att utveckla sin förmåga att uttrycka informella statistisk slutledning och att identifiera potentiella inlärningsmöjligheter för elever att utveckla sin förmåga att uttrycka informella inferenser. / The purpose of this study is to improve our knowledge about teaching and learning of informal statistical inference. A qualitative research strategy is used in the study that focuses on the testing and generation of theories inspired by grounded theory. The knowledge focus of the study is aimed at the characterisation of statistical processes and concepts where systems of concept frameworks about informal statistical inference and modelling represent an essential part of the research. In order to obtain adequate empirical data, a teaching situation was devised whereby students were involved in planning and implementing an investigation. The study was conducted in a normal classroom situation where the teaching was focused on an area in probability and statistics that included the introduction of box plots and normal distribution with related concepts. The empirical material was collected through video recordings and written reports. The material was analysed using a combined framework of informal statistical inference and modelling. The results of the analysis highlight examples of how students can be expected to express aspects of informal statistical inference within the context of statistical inquiry. A framework was also developed aimed to theoretically depict informal statistical inference in modelling situations. The study suggests that this framework has the potential to be used to analyse how informal statistical inference of students are expressed and to identify potential learning opportunities for students to develop their ability to express inferences.

[ES] Más del 90 por ciento de los ensayos clínicos de medicamentos contra el cáncer fracasan. Por tanto, es necesario mejorar el conocimiento sobre los factores que aumentan el éxito del desarrollo de medicamentos. En esta tesis, se aborda esta cuestión desde la perspectiva de los Estudios de Innovación. Para ello, se revisa sistemáticamente 103 artículos relacionados con ensayos clínicos, publicados en revistas de innovación (1984-2021). Así se logra sintetizar los hallazgos existentes, clasificar los estudios por categorías y proporcionar algunas sugerencias teóricas y metodológicas para trabajos futuros. Se encuentra que las teorías del ciclo de vida del producto y de la innovación del usuario deberían ser aplicadas en la investigación futura para mejorar la compresión sobre el desarrollo de medicamentos. Se recomienda un mayor uso de los análisis causales, de regresión y de metodologías mixtas, especialmente en relación con los temas de la comercialización, la transferencia de conocimiento y los marcos institucionales, así como un mejor uso del aprendizaje automático y los lenguajes de programación por lo que se refiere a las herramientas informáticas de recogida de datos. De acuerdo con las lagunas de investigación identificadas en la revisión de la literatura, se explora el papel de la radicalidad, la formación de redes, la naturaleza básica y el impacto científico de la investigación en el éxito del desarrollo de fármacos a través de ensayos clínicos. Los resultados muestran que un mayor grado de radicalidad es menos susceptible de conducir al éxito. La relación entre densidad de la red y la tasa de éxito sigue una forma de U invertida. En redes de cooperación más densas, las organizaciones radicales tienen más posibilidades de éxito. El desarrollo radical de medicamentos implica que las organizaciones asuman más riesgos, lo que da lugar a más fracasos; sin embargo, una manera efectiva de incrementar la tasa de éxito del desarrollo radical de medicamentos es mediante la promoción de la densidad de las redes de cooperación. La investigación aplicada facilita que las organizaciones se involucren en el desarrollo de medicamentos, y la investigación básica es útil para incrementar la tasa de éxito del desarrollo de medicamentos. No obstante, la investigación aplicada de los cooperantes también incrementa la tasa de éxito a través de los efectos desbordamiento de la red. El impacto científico de la investigación juega un papel positivo tanto en involucrarse en el desarrollo de medicamentos como en conducirlo al éxito, directamente y través de los efectos desbordamiento de la red. Esta tesis proporciona algunas ideas para aumentar la tasa de éxito del desarrollo de medicamentos para organizaciones médicas y formuladores de políticas a través de estrategias de ciencia, cooperación e innovación. / [CAT] Més del 90 per cent dels assajos clínics de fàrmacs contra el càncer fracassen.

Es troba que les teories del cicle de vida del producte i de la innovació de l'usuari haurien de ser aplicades en la investigació futura per a millorar la compressió sobre el desenvolupament de fàrmacs. Es recomana un major ús de les anàlisis causals, de regressió i de metodologies mixtes, especialment en relació amb els temes de la comercialització, la transferència de coneixement i els marcs institucionals, així com un millor ús de l'aprenentatge automàtic i els llenguatges de programació pel que fa a les eines informàtiques de recollida de dades. D'acord amb les llacunes d'investigació identificades en la revisió de la literatura, s'explora el paper de la radicalitat, la formació de xarxes, la naturalesa bàsica i l'impacte científic de la investigació en l'èxit del desenvolupament de fàrmacs a través d'assajos clínics. Els resultats mostren que un major grau de radicalitat és menys susceptible de conduir a l'èxit. La relació entre densitat de la xarxa i la taxa d'èxit segueix una forma d'U invertida. En xarxes de cooperació més denses, les organitzacions radicals tenen més possibilitats d'èxit. El desenvolupament radical de fàrmacs implica que les organitzacions assumisquen més riscos, la qual cosa dona lloc a més fracassos; no obstant això, una manera efectiva d'incrementar la taxa d'èxit del desenvolupament radical de fàrmacs és mitjançant la promoció de la densitat de les xarxes de cooperació. La investigació aplicada facilita que les organitzacions s'involucren en el desenvolupament de fàrmacs, i la investigació bàsica és útil per a incrementar la taxa d'èxit del desenvolupament de fàrmacs. No obstant això, la investigació aplicada dels cooperants també incrementa la taxa d'èxit a través dels efectes desbordament de la xarxa. L'impacte científic de la investigació juga un paper positiu tant a involucrar-se en el desenvolupament de fàrmacs com a conduir-lo a l'èxit, directament i través dels efectes desbordament de la xarxa. Aquesta tesi proporciona algunes idees per a augmentar la taxa d'èxit del desenvolupament de fàrmacs per a organitzacions mèdiques i formuladors de polítiques a través d'estratègies de ciència, cooperació i innovació. / [EN] Over 90% of clinical trials for cancer disease drugs fail. It is therefore necessary to increase understanding about the factors that increase the success of drug development. In the present thesis, this issue is addressed from the perspective of Innovation Studies. To this end, 103 articles related to clinical trials, published in innovation journals (1984-2021), are revised systematically. The existing findings are summarised, the studies are classified into categories and some suggestions for potential theoretical and methodological advances in Innovation Studies are provided. It is found that product life cycle and user innovation theories should be applied in future research to improve understanding about drug development. Further use of causal, regression and mixed-methods analysis is also recommended, especially related to the topics of commercialisation, knowledge transfer and institutional frameworks, along with a better use of machine learning and programming languages with regards to data gathering computer tools. Based on the research gaps identified in the literature review, an exploration is made of the role of radicalness, network formation, and the basicness and scientific impact of research on the success of drug development through clinical trials. The results show that a greater degree of radicalness is less likely to achieve success. The relationship between network density and success rate follows an inverted U-shape. In denser cooperation networks, radical organisations have a greater possibility of achieving success. Radical drug development involves organisations taking more risks, which results in more failures; however, an effective way of increasing the success rate of radical drug development is by promoting cooperation network density. Applied research encourages organisations to engage in drug development, and basic research is useful for increasing the success rate of drug development. Nevertheless, the applied research of cooperators also increases the success rate through network spillovers. The scientific impact of research plays a positive role in both the engagement and success of drug development, directly and through network spillovers. This thesis provides some insights to increase the success rate of drug development for medical organisations and policymakers through science, cooperation and innovation strategies. / I want to gratefully acknowledge the support from Spanish Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities through Project CSO2016-79045-C2-2-R of the Spanish National R&D&I Plan, and Project AICO/2021/021 of the Valencian Government.

Wie sieht gute und alltagstaugliche Wohnarchitektur aus Sicht der Bewohner aus? 1.600 Mieterhaushalte in städtischen Wohnungen von acht deutschen Städten und eine kleine Kontrollgruppe von Eigentümern wurden in Face-To-Face-Interviews befragt. Ein Standardfragebogen wurde mit Computergraphiken und Animationen kombiniert. Der Blick gilt nicht der Gebäudehülle, sondern dem Inneren, dem Raumkonzept, der inneren Erschließung und der Freiraumzuordnung. Die Ergebnisse sind ein Leitfaden zum bedarfsgerechten Neu- und Umbau von städtischen Wohnungen für Bauherren und Planer. Die Architekturnutzer, überwiegend städtische Mieter, erhalten eine Stimme im Qualitätsdialog. Dem interessierten Laien wird eine Übersicht über vorhandene und mögliche Typologien des städtischen Wohnens vorgelegt. In den raumsoziologischen Diskurs wird ein Beleg dafür eingebracht, dass das Gebaute die Wohnweise und die Vorstellungswelt über richtiges Wohnen prägt. Die Studie ist ein Brückenschlag zwischen wohnsoziologischer Grundlagen- und anwendungsorientierter Marktforschung. Der Wunsch nach intelligenten Verbindungen von besonntem privaten Außenraum und Wohnung durchzieht die Ergebnisse wie ein grüner Faden. Es ist aus Sicht der Nutzer das Qualitätskriterium Nummer Eins und eine Kritik an vielen Defiziten städtischen Wohnens. Dem Planer zeigt es die Prioritäten eines bedarfsgerechten Neu- und Umbaus von städtischen Wohnungen auf. Das Gewohnte prägt das Gewünschte. Bewohnergruppen mit vergleichbaren soziodemographischen Merkmalen urteilen in Berlin anders als in Dresden oder Bochum. Der vorhandene Wohnungsbestand ist nicht nur das Ergebnis einer historisch spezifischen Wohnweise, sondern zugleich Prägestock und Begrenzung für das gelebte und das gewünschte Wohnen. / What has good housing architecture to be like, when the occupants are questioned.This leading question guidelines a survey among 1,600 tenants-households in eight German cities. Mainly designed as a post occupancy-evaluation the study contributes guidelines for a more userfriendly planning in urban housing construction and renovation. The survey was carried out by face-to-face interviews assisted by a standardized questionnaire, computer graphics and animation. It focuses on the inside, on floorplans, the idea of the floor plan, interior access and the combination of the interior and the private space outdoors. Space- sociology benefits from the results, as they prove, that the way of construction determines housing habits and housing needs. By means of a catalogue showing several common types of floor plans the occupants were consulted and got basic informations in order to distinguish, to evaluate and to choose among existing types of apartments. This work builds a bridge between basic resarch in housing sociology and user oriented market surveys. Unlike most studies on housing needs and demands, this survey does not operate by the fiction of a transparent line of products at housing markets and freedom of choice. Both, the design of the questionnaire and the shown types of floor-plans take the restrictions of the urban housing market into consideration as well as they mark the boundary of lower income demand and a limited knowledge about housing architecture. Many results underline the importance of intelligent links between interior and private space outdoors. Like a “green thread” running through the evaluation it’s a lesson about Number One quality issue from the view of users. We want, what we are used to. The existing housing stock engraves and restricts both, the historical residential manner and housing needs.
