Can increased integration of spatial analysis improve the understanding of how hospital design may affect healthcare associated infection dynamics and patient safety?
Creators: name: Davis, Grahame
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2017

description: Background: Healthcare associated infections (HCAIs) are considered to be the most frequent adverse event that threatens patients’ safety worldwide. A great deal of work has been carried out looking to improve surveillance, control and prevention of HCAIs within the NHS and health systems worldwide. Like in other research settings, an understanding of the localised environment is critical to understand its potential effect on disease dynamics. Numerous techniques, not yet exploited within healthcare settings, have been developed to quantify this environmental impact. Aim: To examine how integration of spatial epidemiology and modelling could improve the understanding of how hospital design may affect healthcare associated infection dynamics and patient safety, allowing improvement of HCAI investigations within the NHS. Methods: This thesis made use of data from Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust, including hospital floorplans, information on patient transfers, laboratory tests and traditional infection surveillance data. A literature review was carried out to identify limitations in the application of spatial epidemiology within healthcare settings. Geographical Information Systems (GIS), graph-mining and network modelling were applied to analyse existing datasets, leading to the production of ward maps and networks. Results: The key findings of the work were numerous. Digitalisation of ward maps allows for wider dissemination of this data to infection control teams and other researchers to aid in investigations. Certain ward characteristics appear associated with increased numbers of infections and the physical layout of the ward showed relations between ward subgraphs and infection risk in both positive and negative manners. Network modelling allowed visualisation and analysis of patient movements within and between hospitals. Allowed identification of how wards are linked and specifically which wards merge departments/specialities and link patient populations. Identifiable control points allowed for greater understanding of the ward network and this was shown to help with response and planning for extreme or emergency situations. Conclusion: These techniques, whilst commonly used in other areas, have been underutilised within healthcare and have within this thesis been shown to extract greater information from pre-existing data. The work identified numerous ways existing datasets can be further explored to help researchers; whilst also providing outputs that can help day to day work, such as ward maps.
Using the Financial Industry Business Ontology (FIBO): A Use-Case Driven Cooks Tour

Subjects: finance, FIBO, ontology, RDF/OWL, GLEIF LEI, financial instruments

description: The Financial Industry Business Ontology (FIBO) has matured in significant areas over the last few years, but until recently there were few examples to help users understand how to interpret it and build it into their own knowledge graphs. Since early 2019, the FIBO development team has been focused primarily on use cases to address the steep learning curve: How to represent businesses and incorporate data about them that is publicly available, such as identifiers, locations, ownership and control information and other details from the Global Legal Entity Identifier Foundation (GLEIF), Open Corporates, state and government registries, etc., How to use that information to investigate counterparty relationships, How to build on that baseline to represent securities (stocks, bonds, etc.) issued by these organizations, How to leverage those securities to represent the components of an index and track index performance, such as the Dow Jones Industrial Average, How to use this information to represent more complex derivative instruments. In this talk, we will take a quick cook’s tour through some of the more basic use cases and related ontologies. The approach that FIBO has taken to build a use case stack that can be used to demonstrate the value of knowledge graphs translates well to most domain-specific projects. The use cases, ontologies, and reference and example data are all publicly available and open source. While some of the work is still underway, the basic building blocks are in place. Conference participants can download and try them, and the cook’s tour is intended to provide enough of an introduction to help make that feasible.

description: Some clause-embedding predicates like English "know" and "guess" can take both declarative and interrogative clausal complements. It has been hypothesised in the formal semantic literature that the meanings of these predicates when they take a declarative complement and when they take an interrogative complement are constrained in systematic ways. In this project, we investigate if this semantic constraint on the meaning of clause-embedding predicates is reflected in their learnability, by testing how accurately adults can learn novel clause-embedding predicates that vary in whether they satisfy the semantic constraint.
Investigation of geopolymer as an alternative cementing material for wellbore applications
Creators: name: Haider, Mohammad Giasuddin
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This thesis contributes to the technological development of the carbon storage by geosequestration, which is one of the effective methods for mitigating global carbon emissions. Currently, Portland cement is used as the wellbore sealing material. However, leakages pathways are found to occur due to long-term exposure to CO2. This study investigates a new cementing material ‘geopolymer'. The demonstrated suitability of geopolymer as observed through the study will help successful implementation of geological storage of CO2 as well as the evolution of geopolymer as innovative cementing technology.

We were young
Creators: name: Hecq, Dominique
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Reading Nigel Krauth's 'Mediterranean songs' in a special issue of TEXT journal (2014), I was enthralled. The first person plural narrative nudged me to trial a similar form. Questioning how it might work, I found curiosity in the narrator: who was 'we'? Was it one separate entity, for example 'me and my cousin and my dog', or were they plural individuals with some shared understanding, for example identical twins? I sought an immediacy of reporting as well as an adult-sized knowledge (a product of retrospection) to indicate a passage of time. This story encapsulates the importance of an episode in a child's life, or in multiple children's lives, a chapter reviewed and reconsidered, hence another perspective of 'we'-being the child and the adult, and a singularity of mind.

Eocenobius

description: Genus Eocenobius gen. nov.
 Type species: Eocenobius praestigitator sp. nov., by present designation.
 Differential diagnosis. Eocenobius gen. nov. is characterized by the following combination of characters:(1) antennae 11- segmented withfiliform antennomeres 3–8, and elongate, three-segmented club; (2) lateral margins of pronotum complete; (3) elytra short and forming oval outline; (4) dorsal pubescence thin, sparse, long, and erect; (5) meso- and metacoxae widely separated; (6) elytral punctation relatively sparse; and (7) metatrochanters angulate.
 The newly described genus can be distinguished from the genus Ernobius in having shorter elytra (1.5× longer than wide in the new genus and 1.9–2.9× longer than wide in Ernobius), sparser elytral punctation (distance between punctures usually less than diameter of one puncture in Ernobius), erect dorsal pubescence (recumbent in Ernobius), as well as comparatively wide separated meso- and metacoxae. Eocenobius gen. nov. can additionally be distinguished from extinct Tuberernobius Zahradník et Háva, 2014 in the absence of knob-like tubercles on the pronotum; from Paralobium Fall, 1905 in possessing filiform antennomeres 3–8;and from the genera Episernus Thomson, 1863 and Episernomorphus Roubal, 1917 in having 11- segmented antennae. For comparison with extinct Ernobiinae taxa of Baltic amber, also see the key presented below. Additionally, Eocenobius gen. nov. shows similarity to extant Ochina Dejean, 1821 in having comparatively short elytra. However, Ochina differs from the new genus in having weakly serrate antennomeres 3–8.
 Etymology. The name of the new genus is a compound word and combines “Eocene” (the name of the type species’ geological epoch) and “- bius ” (the Latin root of the type genus of the tribe to which the genus belongs). Gender is masculine.
 Remarks. The new genus is monotypic. Therefore, the generic diagnosis is currently identical to that of the type species.

Water Supply Coverage and Water Loss in Distribution System with Modeling (The Case Study of Addis Ababa)
Creators: name: Kabeto, Shimeles
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2011

description: Leakage in water distribution pipes is a major problem faced by the water industry. Water utilities often employ traditional audit methods to estimate water lost as leakage. As a result demand for additional water sources and infrastructure is growing. More ever, nearly 37% of the total water production is loss at different level of distribution system before reaching to the consumer. The focus of this study is to evaluate the city's distribution coverage of the water supply and evaluating the total water loss. The water supply coverage at the city level and the total water loss both at the city level and at the sub system level, the collected data was assembled in EPANET and controls were added to best represent the functioning of the water system. Water production that is only for the city and the water consumption as aggregated from individual customer meter reading was to evaluate the total water loss at the city level. Select the pilot area in around Gottera the selection of the area from the branch based on the following criteria. Hydraulically easily desecrate area, 24hr water availability, Customer not more than 1000, and more leakage complain. The sub-system that has isolated networks and production and consumption data were used to evaluate and compare the spatial distribution of water loss. There are several reasons for the high level of water loss in Addis Ababa., and some advisory solutions were briefly proposed for the major effect of the water loss like age of pipe networks, poor maintenance of networks, water scheduling, customer side leakage and illegal connection. The reduction of NRW (Non Revenue Water) by Water Balance Method shows the difference between predicted and actual water losses in water distribution network, The results also shows that after leakage reduction control works took place, the volume of water loss in water distribution network has reduce about 39% of the total production supply to the sub-system. The distribution system model was then used to evaluate three alternative scenarios to improve system performance. The objective of the first and second scenario was to increase the flow rate at taps of low supply; the third scenario aimed at adding taps to parts of the sub-system without easy access to running water. The first scenario consisted in opening valves to connect subsystems: it increased the flow rate at taps of large supply more so than at taps of low supply. This scenario was not recommended because it would quickly drain parts of the water supply.
A novel approach to sparse signal reconstruction and noise reduction
Creators: name: Korki, Mehdi
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This thesis presented efficient algorithms for sparse signal reconstruction, which has a variety of applications, e.g. in MRI image reconstruction and wireless communications. Using the developed algorithms, the impulsive noise in wireless communication has been eliminated and this enables the user to communicate more signals and utilize more bandwidth. The developed algorithms have also been used for MRI image reconstruction, which significantly improved the quality of the MRI image. This, in turn, facilitates the disease diagnosis such as cancer detection.

description: John George Knight migrated from England to Australia in 1851 as a young qualified architect and engineer. Knight was successful in his professional work in Melbourne, where he became a leading figure. In 1873 he sought work as a civil servant in South Australia’s remote Northern Territory. This move has never been satisfactorily explained. Knight worked in various positions in the Territory in the ensuing years and ended up holding the highest post in the administration: government resident. In 1892 Knight died in office. In this thesis I examine Knight’s professional, social and personal life, his achievements and also his shortcomings. Little has been written about Knight and he remains today a little known figure. Hopefully this thesis will help rectify this situation.

Computer-supported collaborative problem-based learning: an instructional design architecture for virtual learning in nursing education
Creators: name: Naidu, Som

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: It is hypothesized that problem-based learning has many advantages for learning and teaching, especially in practice-oriented professions. Although there is consensus on the generalized view of the process, there is not much in the form of specific guidelines on how problem-based learning (PBL) can be put to maximum use in group-based learning and teaching environments. Furthermore, little is known about what actually happens in the various phases of the process (such as problem analysis) and how these can be activated and systematically enhanced. The project reported in this paper set out to fill this particular void. Nurses encounter problem situations on a regular basis as part of their work, which makes it imperative that graduating nurses are conversant with the problem-solving process as they make their transition from the classroom into the workforce. A sure and quick way to ensure this transition is to engage students in problem-based learning. In the course selected for this project, students were presented with three authentic problem situations representative of the content of the course. Students were required to approach the study of the problem with a defined architecture, which required focused reflections and the presentation of a critical reflection record at the end of a study period. All of these learning activities took place in a computer-mediated communications environment that enabled sharing of opinions and views on each of the problems among the student group. A study of the critical reflections of students on the problem situations revealed evidence of a systematic approach to problem analysis and problem solving.

description: Writing beautifully clear and efficient code is an art. Learning and developing skills and tricks to handle unforseen situations to get a 'feel' for the code and be able to identify and fix problems in a moments notice does not happen overnight. With software development experience really does count. This article introduces the reader to numerous engineering insights into writing better code. Better in the context of cleaner, more readable, robust, and computationally efficient. Analogous to the 20:80 principle. In practice, you can spend 20% of your time writing code, while the other 80% is editing and refining your code to be better. You have to work hard to get coding muscles. Lazy coding ultimately leads to unhealthy, inflexible, overweight code.

description: The earliest European avant-garde groups of this century had faith in a particular future that would fuse art, technology and politics. Their Europe was a world that had harnessed the power of steam, fossil fuels and electricity, and these energy sources were bearing fruit in the form of transportation, telecommunications and industrialisation on a massive scale. Their Europe was a world that boasted of the conquest of physical space one---could now cross from West to East (on the Trans-Siberian Railway) or around the globe in only weeks. The Italian Futurists and their comrades in Russia, England. Germany and France were embracing the newly mechanised world with a passion. The Futurists worshiped innovation, disruption and the heroic nature of a forward advance (hence the military term 'avant-garde') towards a utopian mechanised future. For them, the new communication and transportation technologies were a means to pursue speed.

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

subject: Sport and exercise psychology

description: Background and Purpose: Despite the significance and crucial role that engaging in sports activities holds in shaping children's social behaviors, limited studies have explored the impact of sports participation on the adjustment and social performance of children diagnosed with ADHD. Therefore, the aim of this study was to explore the effects of participation in physical activity and exercise on social and adaptive performance among children with ADHD.
Methods: The current study employed a descriptive-correlational method. A total of 147 children with ADHD (62 girls) between the ages of 7 and 12 were chosen as the study's statistical population using a convenience sampling method. Data was collected using standard questionnaires. T tests and structural equation modeling were used to analyze data.
Results: Results reveled that physical activity significantly affected academic performance (T= 6.482), relationships with peers (T= 5.294), relationships with family (T= 4.628) and household tasks/self-care (T= 6.417). Results of model fit indicated that the research model has good fit. Conclusions: These findings hold practical implications for professionals and physical education teachers. Hence, it is recommended that practitioners and physical education teachers actively encourage children with ADHD to participate in physical activity and sports to enhance their social and adaptive performance.

description: We apply the semi-analytical galaxy formation code of Cole et al. to investigate the formation of globular cluster (GC) systems in hierarchical clustering scenarios. The nature of the model allows us to investigate the properties of GC systems and their parent galaxies within a cosmological framework, over a wide dynamic range of mass and time resolution. Assuming GCs form during mergers of gaseous systems, the metal-rich peak of the classical 'bimodal' metallicity distribution of GCs naturally falls out of our model, where such merging occurs over a wide range of redshifts. The physical origin of old, metal-poor GCs (the metal-poor peak) is harder to model, since their formation must be decoupled from the ongoing star formation in these systems at high redshift (z~5). Within the context of semi-analytic models in general, a possible solution lies in a cut-off in the GC formation efficiency at a characteristic star formation rate.
Laser patterning of TiN films from metal sacrificial layers for surface micromachining applications

description: This paper presents the results of our investigations on the laser micromachining of titanium nitride (TiN) films. Machining performance was evaluated in terms of layer selectivity and patterning quality. TiN was arc-deposited onto (100) silicon substrate with chromium (Cr) and copper (Cu) sacrificial layers. Films were also deposited onto bare silicon substrates under the same conditions. These samples were laser micromachined using a KrF excimer laser at 248 nm. The effect of fluence and number of shots on the machined features has been investigated in detail. The patterned features were examined under optical, confocal and scanning electron microscopes. The characteristics observed were analysed and compared in all three sets of samples. The results showed selective removal of TiN films from Cr and Cu sacrificial layers under different conditions. The machining of TiN from (100) silicon showed relatively poor definition of patterned features. The analysis of these results indicated that laser machining of TiN from Cr and Cu layers is best explained using the explosion mechanism of removal.

description: Penetretus andalusicus (Reitter, 1897)
 Penetretus imitator Zamotajlov, 1990: 133 syn. n.
 Species was described by single male from Cerro Pelado (Sierra Nevada mountains, Spain) as species closely related to P. andalusicus (Reitter, 1897). Study of extensive material, collected by author during 2003–2006 in type locality and other regions of Sierra Navada, revealed that both species don’t show differences in external features, aedeagus and inflated endophallus structure.All the distinguishing features indicated in the description are within the limits of individual variability. New synonymy is proposed here.

Doing ethics: a universal technique in an accessibility context
Creators: name: Simpson, Chris

description: Thinking ethically is difficult without a background in moral philosophy. Asking people to embrace ethics without offering practical explanation of the efficacy of so doing, is a thankless task. A technique that people can follow easily, that helps them value ethical behaviour is needed. Illustrations of such a procedure show how professional scenarios are used in the domain of web accessibility. Scenario design and extensions to the technique are considered.

A pattern-based approach to the specification and validation of web services interactions
Creators: name: Li, Zheng
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Web services are designed for composition and use by third parties through dynamic discovery. As such, the issue of interoperability between services is of great importance to ensure that the services can work together towards the overall application goals. In particular, the interaction protocols of a service need to be implemented and used properly so that the service composition can conduct itself in an orderly fashion. There have been significant research efforts in providing rich descriptions for Web services, which includes their behaviour properties. When describing the interaction process/protocols of a service, most of them adopt a procedural or programming style approach. We argue that this style of description for service interactions is not natural to publishing service behaviour properties from the viewpoint of facilitating third-party service composition and analysis. Especially when dealing with service with diverse behaviour, the limit of these procedural approaches become apparent. In this thesis, we introduce a lightweight, pattern/constraint-based declarative approach that better supports the specification and use of service interaction properties in the service description and composition process. This approach uses patterns to describe the interaction behaviour of a service as a set of constraints. As such, it supports the incremental description of a service's interaction behaviour from the service developer's perspective, and the easy understanding and analysis of the interaction properties from the service user's perspective. It has been incorporated into OWL-S for service developers to describe service interaction constraints. We also present a framework and the related tool support for monitoring and checking the conformance of the service's runtime interactions against its specified interaction properties, to test whether the service is used properly and whether the service fulfils its behavioural obligations. The tool involves interception of service interactions/messages, representation of interaction constraints using finite state automata and finite state machine, and conformance checking of service interactions against interaction constraints. As such, we provide a useful tool for validating the implementation and use of services regarding their interaction behaviour.

The psychological determinants of rugby union player performance
Creators: name: Downey, Luke
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The performance of professional sportspeople attracts great interest from the viewing public, team management, coaches, and athletes alike. Contributors to elite performance have been explored across a wide variety of sports, but have generally focused on the physical attributes of athletes, or the differences between athletes across varying levels of competition or compared to non-athletes. This thesis aimed to identify the psychological predictors of elite rugby union player performance through a series of studies. The psychological characteristics of elite rugby union players have only been researched to a limited degree. This was postulated to be in part is due to the relative recent transition to professionalism in 1995, and the time constraints imposed on professional athletes. As such, the access given to players, ex-players, and administrators within professional Australian rugby union for this thesis represent a unique insight into the psychological drivers of elite performance.

Structural Investigation of Ethiopian Camel Hides (Camelus Dromedarius) and It's Suitability for Leather Manufacture
Creators: name: Meles, Belay
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia

description: Ethiopia has the largest livestock population in the African countries, providing a strong raw material base for the growing leather and leather products sector. The main source of raw material for the Ethiopian tanning industry comes from sheep, goat and cattle. Since the Ethiopian leather industry is booming, the industry is now looking to exploit the alternative raw materials available in the country. Camel (Camelus dromedarius) is one of the most important livestock in the East African countries. Due to lack of awareness and technology, most of the hides are not utilized fully by the tanners. Wet salted camel hides were used for this study. In the present study an attempt has been made to develop shoe upper leathers from camel hides. Owing to the excellent strength properties and the attractive grain pattern, attempts were also made to develop leather goods and belting leathers. The raw material was characterised for fat and collagen content and converted into finished leather by using suitable tanning methodology and the leathers were utilized for the preparation of different types of leathers. Histological analysis of the camel hides were carried out. Based on the histological understanding, the strategies for making different types of leathers were established. Three different types of finished leathers were developed and the physical and chemical properties were also evaluated. The results obtained from the chemical and physical tests revealed that the raw material was suitable for the manufacture of upper leather, leather goods and belting leather. Keywords: Camel hides, leather goods, belting leather, leather products

Effectiveness

description: Five years after the entry into force of the Banking Union, this Policy Paper assesses its effectiveness as a form of differentiated integration. This case study presents the legal and organisational dimensions of the Banking Union and describes its accountability mechanisms and procedures. At the heart is the question of whether the creation of the Banking Union has been effective in promoting integration among its members while avoiding distortions in the Single Market. To this end, also the impact of the Banking Union on the political unity in the European Union is analysed. This Policy Paper finds that the Banking Union has enhanced European integration in the financial sector without jeopardising the functioning of the internal market. Although the Banking Union is still incomplete, the benefits of participation create centripetal forces that are attractive also to non-euro countries.
Temporary migration and its implications for Australia
Creators: name: Mares, Peter
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: With 6 million people or 27% of the population born overseas Australia has---apart from the city-states of Singapore and Hong Kong---the highest proportion of overseas-born residents of any country in the world. This reality is so entrenched, so normal, so much a part of our daily lives, that we rarely stop to consider how migration works and how it might be changing; to ask whether migration today is the same as it was ten, twenty or thirty years ago. Of course we have an acrimonious debate about how to respond to asylum seekers arriving by boat, but that is a question of refugee protection and border control rather than migration. Important and politically fraught as the issue is, the arrival of asylum seekers by boat has only a small impact on the future shape of Australian society. In terms of population size and demographic mix, migration is the main game and skilled migration is the increasingly dominant component in the mix. The thrust of my argument in this lecture is that Australia's migration program is changing in quite fundamental ways. In fact we may be witnessing the biggest change since the abolition of the White Australia policy forty years ago, but these changes are not widely recognised or discussed. The implications of these changes are not entirely clear or predictable, but they may well be profound.
