The impact of changing residential greenspace on children’s outdoor activities
Authors:   , Osborne Linda
Published: June 2022

This thesis examined the impact of residential design on children’s outdoor activities in inner-Brisbane. Examination of impact assessable development applications provided empirical data establishing the rapid decline of usable residential greenspace (URG). Children’s input through surveys indicate they participate in outdoor activities unsupervised in yards which provide busy families access to greenspace without needing to be driving or supervising. However, parental restrictions limit children’s independent mobility. Effective evaluation of public policies is required to ensure URG and safe, walkable neighbourhoods. Public awareness about the benefits of greenspace close to home and the importance of children’s independent mobility must be prioritised.
Influence of value co-destruction on actor wellbeing in the sharing economy: An exploratory study in peer-to-peer accommodation
Authors:   , Athapaththu Jayani Chamarika
Published: June 2022

This dissertation explores how value co-destruction impacts consumer-supplier well-being in the sharing economy, particularly in P2P accommodation. By adopting a qualitative research approach and collecting data from Australian guests and hosts, this study explored the value co-destruction drivers and the manner in which they impact consumer perceived values and consequently consumer-supplier well-being. The study contributes to knowledge in the emerging research fields of ‘value co-destruction’, ‘Transformative consumer research’, to service-dominant logic, and the wider tourism and hospitality industry, for which several theoretical and practical implications were discussed.

Client experience of health care and student experience of learning revealed a supportive culture of health and educational development that will inform the future design of health care and student education environments.
The effect of environment, soil type and farm system management on nitrogen use efficiency and nitrous oxide emissions from cereal crops in south eastern Australia
Authors:   , Wallace Ashley J.
Published: June 2022

This thesis outlines findings from a series of field experiments measuring the efficiency with which wheat and barley crops grown in south eastern Australia utilise nitrogen (N) fertiliser, with particular focus on loss of N as emissions of the greenhouse gas: nitrous oxide. N use efficiency varied significantly across regions, seasons and management strategies, while nitrous oxide emissions were highest in high rainfall environments or under irrigation compared with lower rainfall environments. Strategies which match the rate and timing of fertiliser application to crop demand resulted in greater efficiency, offering opportunities to reduce the greenhouse footprint of crop production.

Authors:   , Kallinen Valtteri A.
Published: June 2022

This thesis develops models and procedures for designing safe airspace for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). Mid-air collision risk models with foundations in manned aviation are extended and adapted to develop separation standards for UAVs whilst addressing the unique differences from traditional manned aviation. Airspace design is also investigated using mathematical optimisation which maximises traffic throughput to make high-density operations viable, whilst still maintaining a given target level of safety.
Using Computers in Teaching Statistics is it Worthwhile?
Authors:   University of Ljubljana, Blejec Andrej
Published: June 2022

Computers were invented and constructed to compute. Since statistical analyses are computing intensive it is natural that computers are widely used in statistical research and applications. Statistical applications, such as census with its problems of sorting, counting and tabulating, were among the motives for constructing the ancestors of modern computers.
Understandin Probability and Statistical Inference through Resampling
Authors:   University of Massachusetts, Konold Clifford
Published: June 2022

During the past four years, I have been developing curricula and computer software for teaching probability and data analysis at the introductory high-school and college level. The approach I've taken emphasizes the use of real data, where "telling a story" takes priority over testing hypotheses, and in which mathematical formalism is kept to a minimum (see Cobb, 1992; Scheaffer, 1990; Watkins et al. 1992).
Statree: An Expert System for Choosing Suitable Statistical Data Processing Techniques
Authors:   Dipartimento di Scienze Statistiche Via S. Francesco 33, 35121, Capiluppi Claudio
Published: June 2022

The choice of a statistical method suitable for the anlysis of a statistical dataset depends on several parameters: (i) the survey purposes, to be specified in terms of the research hypotheses and the population, (ii) the data formation environment, i.e. the survey and sample designs, the problems faced at the data collection and manipulation stages, (iii) the data measurement scale and the information on and/or the hypotheses about the distribution of variables.
Designing Currucular Software for Conceptualizing Statistics
Authors:   Tufts University Medford, Cohen Steve , Smith George ,   Tufts University Medford, Chechile Richard ,   Tufts University Medford, Cook Robert ,   Tufts University Medford
Published: June 2022

Over the past decade, software has found its way into the curriculum for a variety of educational purposes. This has been especially true in the case of introductory statistics courses. There are at least two principal uses for technology in such introductory courses. The first is to free students of excessive computational responsibilities, thereby enabling them to spend more time analyzing data and assessing results. The second is to help students to get a deeper understanding of the fundamental concepts taught in an introductory course, thereby putting the students in a better position to use powerful tool-bases software and to interpret results. In a sense, both of these uses have the same aim, namely to improve the general quantitative reasoning skills of the students. In many respects this is the greatest challenge of an introductory statistics course, or of any cause with a large quantitate component.
Chemometrical package for PC
Authors:   Technical University, Militky Jiri , Meloun Milan ,   Technical University, Kupka Karel ,   TriloByte
Published: June 2022

Chemometrics is a relatively young discipline ranging over chemistry, mathematical statistics and informatics. Its important part comprises methods for the extraction of relevant information from chemical experiments. These methods make use of selected computer algorithms of mathematical statistics, which are discussed e.g., in Melon et al. (1992) and Militky (1989). Some chem-metrical computations can be performed by Bernal statical packages, namely SYSTAT, SAS, STAT-GRAPHICS. Extensive tests and studies of these and other packages have shown, however, that in many cases they do not support a researcher with suitable statistical methods nor are the numerical algorithms reliable enough (see Militky, 1990).
Trans, Marimachas, Cuirs y otras «imposturas» resistentes desde el lenguaje del arte
Authors: García-Oliveros Elena
Published: June 2022

El medio feminista y sus activismos plantean en la actualidad temas que los dividen y enfrentan gravemente. Uno de ellos es el referido a la identidad de género y de modo más específico la construcción de la masculinidad. Este artículo es una exploración de cómo el lenguaje del arte ha reflejado las disidencias queer en este ámbito y qué estrategias ha manejado para no sucumbir al rechazo y a calificaciones explícitas de falsificación e impostura analizadas desde los aportes de Sarah Ahmed (2006), Rossi Braidotti (2000) y Dona Haraway (1984). Veremos, partiendo de la lectura de imagen de obras de dos artistas queer conectades en sus procesos: Shu Lea Cheang, entrevistada para esta investigación, y Toxic Lesbian, a quien el análisis se acerca desde la observación participante, cómo ya desde la década de los años 80 y 90 estas piezas se sabían parte de la resistencia del género y sus posiciones identitarias recibían la amenaza de la exclusión. Describiremos más concretamente cuál es el reproche de falsedad vertido hacia elles y cuáles son las estrategias devueltas desde el medio artístico. Observaremos el empleo del privilegio de la expresión artística para ubicar icónicamente otros modos de ser y estar en el mundo desde masculinidades no normativas, a partir de la inmersión en las comunidades que las han protagonizado por el testimonio de les artistas, testigos privilegiados de estos procesos sociales.
Jóvenes y alocadxs: Políticas de memoria y sexualidad en el cine chileno contemporáneo
Authors: Blanco Fernando Alejandro
Published: June 2022

This article discusses, through the analysis of three LGBTQ+ films, Wild and Young [Joven y Alocada] (Marialy Rivas, 2012), A Map to talk [Mapa para conversar] (Constanza Fernández Bertrand, 2011) and Another Love Movie [Otra película de amor] (Edwin Oyarce, 2010), the role of queer subjectivities in revising the Chile's recent past through queering the bildungsroman genre. The coming-out of the younger generation questions the moral and ethical consistency of the older generation by exposing them to their own ethical and ideological fractures as subjects co-opted by the neoliberal system; and at the same time, as involuntary accomplices of the revolutionary failure of Allende's Popular Unity government. The article’s discussion of the formation of new social bonds, ethically consistent with the younger generation’s desires and horizons of meaning, and their exploration through the figure of the "perverse queer teen," completes the proposed analysis of the new social and intersubjective contracts present in Chile today.

Authors: Khan Muhammad Rahies , Billah Mutasim Tufail , Mubashir Ali Khan  , Shakeel Muhammad
Published: June 2022

Achieving equilibrium between environmental sustainability and economic growth remains a challenge for business concerns across the globe. Developed countries have achieved this balance through re-designing and re-engineering their business operations to eco-friendly processes to some extent but developing countries are still in the transit phase. As this study incorporated an adapted questionnaire hence, this needs to examine the reliability and validity of the constructs. This study was conducted to measure the reliability and validity of the instrument designed to evaluate the role of institutional pressures in implementing green supply chain management practices and their impact on environmental sustainability through the moderating role of green marketing and mediating role of customer green purchase intention among manufacturing firms in Pakistan. The self-administered questionnaire was distributed among employees of manufacturing companies and customers of green products. A total of 200 questionnaires were distributed and 162 valid responses were received which were used for this pilot test. The initial content and face validity of the survey questionnaire were obtained from subject and field experts. However, the results of this pilot showed that all the constructs met the reliability and validity threshold and the instrument is valid to measure the theoretical model proposed for the study. The study suggested that easy access to credit should be given to augment economic growth.

Authors: K.I. Falade , A.T. Tiamiyu , H.O. Edogbanya , M.B. Ibrahim , A.S. Abubakar
Published: June 2022

Higher order differential equations appear in many different fields such as engineering, biology, chemistry, and the physical sciences. Obtaining numerical analysis solutions for different models in different applied mathematics plays an important role in explaining various applied phenomena such as beam analysis in civil engineering, pendulum mathematics in physics, thermo-liquid dynamics, stochastic modelling, plasma and nuclear physics, and nonlinear optics. In this paper, we build and implement four computational algorithms (exponential fitted collocation algorithm, differential transformation algorithm, homotopy perturbation algorithm and new iterative algorithm) for the numerical solutions of higher order differential equations from applied mathematics. The resulting numerical solutions were presented as 2D functional graphs using MAPLE 18 software to demonstrate the real world significance of the presented equations. The proposed algorithms required less computation time and the obtained results demonstrated that the algorithms are suitable for use for other higher order differential equations in applied mathematics and are efficient in terms of applications use.
An Assessment of the Influence of Political Godfatherism on Nigeria’s Politics: Implications for Socio-Economic and Political Development
Authors: D. Ishaka , W. Mohammed , K.I. Angulu
Published: June 2022

In contemporary democracy, politics of godfatherism has become a universal issue in the political development of many countries, Nigeria inclusive. This paper studied the implication of politics of godfatherism on the socio-economic and political development of Nigeria. Obviously, godfatherism has permeated every fabric of the country and has seriously affected the political system. This paper is qualitative in nature; data were obtained from secondary sources where numerous articles, newspapers, magazines, books reports, and archives were systematically reviewed. In elucidating the topic under examination, the researcher used Elite theory. This theory was advocated by Vilfredo Pareto in 1935. The postulation of the theory is that elites are replaced by another group of elites, meaning that the majority are unavoidably governed by the minority. The study found that the politics of godfatherism has a negative impact on the socio-economic and political development of the nation by confining power in the hands of the few elites at the expense of the masses (electorates). This has affected the socio-economic and political development of the nation, and by extension led to inter-party and intra-party defections, decampings and conflicts among the party members. Therefore, the study recommends the implementation of the direct primary election in selecting candidates into elective positions. In addition to that, INEC should make a law that will discourage money politics and should as well punish culprits involved in such an illegal political act.

Published: June 2022

The bioanalytical evaluation of paracetamol and pamabrom study had been developed using the RP-HPLC method. The elution was done by the mobile phase containing ammonium formate and methanol. The separation was done by using the Hibar C18 column. The flow rate was adjusted to 1.0 ml/min with an injection volume of 20 µl. The wavelength of 268 nm was overlaid for analytical purposes. A volume of 25 µg/ml of internal standard (furosemide) was injected. Paracetamol and pamabrom showed retention time at 7.05 min and 10.02 min with no interference peak from internal standard showing a retention time at 11.97 min. The values of the limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) for paracetamol and pamabrom was found to be 0.03 µg/ml and 0.015 µg/ml; 0.1 µg/ml and 0.05 µg/ml respectively. The developed method was rapid, simple, accurate, precise, robust and selective. This method can be used for the simultaneous estimation of the solid oral dosage forms containing paracetmol and pamabrom in biological sample.
Dental age is an independent marker of biological age
Authors: Boeker Sonja , Hermanussen Michael , Scheffler Christiane
Published: June 2022

Background: Biological age markers are a crucial indicator whether children are decelerated in growth tempo. Skeletal maturation is the standard measure. Yet, it relies on exposing children to x-radiation. Dental eruption is a potential, but highly debated, radiation free alternative. 
Objectives: We assess the interrelationship between dental eruption and other maturational markers. We hypothesize that dental age correlates with body height and skeletal age. We further evaluate how the three different variables behave in cohorts from differing social backgrounds.
Sample and Method: Dental, skeletal and height data from the 1970s to 1990s from Guatemalan boys were converted into standard deviation scores, using external references for each measurement. The boys, aged between 7 and 12, derived from different social backgrounds (middle SES (N = 6529), low-middle SES (N = 736), low SES Ladino (N = 3653) and low SES Maya (N = 4587).
Results: Dental age shows only a weak correlation with skeletal age (0.18) and height (0.2). The distinction between cohorts differs according to each of the three measurements. All cohorts differ significantly in height. In skeletal maturation, the middle SES cohort is significantly advanced compared to all other cohorts. The periodically malnourished cohorts of low SES Mayas and Ladinos are significantly delayed in dental maturation compared to the well-nourished low-middle and middle class Ladino children.
Conclusion: Dental development is an independent system, that is regulated by different mechanisms than skeletal development and growth. Tooth eruption is sensitive to nutritional status, whereas skeletal age is more sensitive to socioeconomic background.
Network reconstruction based on synthetic data generated by a Monte Carlo approach
Authors: Novine Masiar , Mattsson Cecilie Cordua , Groth Detlef
Published: June 2022

Background: Network models are useful tools for researchers to simplify and understand investigated systems. Yet, the assessment of methods for network construction is often uncertain. Random resampling simulations can aid to assess methods, provided synthetic data exists for reliable network construction.

Objectives: We implemented a new Monte Carlo algorithm to create simulated data for network reconstruction, tested the influence of adjusted parameters and used simulations to select a method for network model estimation based on real-world data. We hypothesized, that reconstructs based on Monte Carlo data are scored at least as good compared to a benchmark.

Methods: Simulated data was generated in R using the Monte Carlo algorithm of the mcgraph package. Benchmark data was created by the huge package. Networks were reconstructed using six estimator functions and scored by four classification metrics. For compatibility tests of mean score differences, Welch’s t-test was used. Network model estimation based on real-world data was done by stepwise selection.

Samples: Simulated data was generated based on 640 input graphs of various types and sizes. The real-world dataset consisted of 67 medieval skeletons of females and males from the region of Refshale (Lolland) and Nordby (Jutland) in Denmark.

Results: Results after t-tests and determining confidence intervals (CI95%) show, that evaluation scores for network reconstructs based on the mcgraph package were at least as good compared to the benchmark huge. The results even indicate slightly better scores on average for the mcgraph package.

Conclusion: The results confirmed our objective and suggested that Monte Carlo data can keep up with the benchmark in the applied test framework. The algorithm offers the feature to use (weighted) un- and directed graphs and might be useful for assessing methods for network construction.

“All the Girls”
Authors: Mitchell Wallace† Emily
Published: June 2022

This previously unpublished essay by the late author argues that male biographers of Williams have been unfair in their accounts of the women in Williams’s life and counters claims commonly made in previous Williams biographies concerning the nature of Williams’s relationship with specific female friends. Williams’s relationship to his wife, Florence Williams is also seen to be built on mutual understanding and loyalty despite published claims of infidelity which are directly refuted here by focusing in detail on the nature of Williams’s relationships with, in particular, Evelyn Scott, Nancy Cunard, Myra Marini, Kathleen Hoagland, Baroness Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven and Marion Strobel. The use by Williams’s most recent biographer, Herbert Leibowitz, of poems as “biographical evidence” to support his claims is also countered through close readings of the same poems.

Published: June 2022

How students perceive the feedback that they receive on their writing can either foster or inhibit other important writing beliefs, yet feedback perceptions is a relatively new construct. The goal of this study was to develop a valid and reliable instrument for measuring students’ perceptions of writing feedback. Evidence for validity and reliability were gathered throughout the development of the Student Perceptions of Writing Feedback Scale (PWFS), a self-report questionnaire that asks students how they perceive the feedback they received from their instructors about their writing. The PWFS is based explicitly on the research and theory on students’ feedback perceptions, how helpful and valuable students find feedback, and students’ affective responses to feedback. The psychometric properties of the PWFS are satisfactory, based on analyses of data across two studies with 275 students in high school and college.

High-quality early learning has the potential to narrow disparities in children’s learning and development prior to kindergarten entry, particularly for children from families with low incomes and children who are multilingual learners. This study investigates the relationship between preschool quality and children’s learning and development from fall to spring of 1 school year through the analysis of child- and program-level data from approximately 70,000 children in California preschool programs. It suggests that attending a higher-quality-rated program is associated with greater learning and development than attending a lower-quality-rated program.
