description: Zusammenfassung. Theoretischer Hintergrund: Bekannt gewordene Fälle von (sexuellen) Übergriffen in Institutionen sowie Befragungsergebnisse zeigen, dass es auch in medizinischen Einrichtungen Fälle von Gewalt gegen Kinder und Jugendliche gibt. Fragestellung: Im Kontext von Krankenbehandlung liegen systemische Risikofaktoren für Übergriffe vor. Es ist deshalb wichtig, dass sich medizinische Einrichtungen mit dieser Problematik auseinandersetzen und Schutzkonzepte entwickeln. Methode: Es wird ein Überblick über Risikofaktoren sowie die Elemente von Schutzkonzepten gegeben. Ergebnisse: Ein Schutzkonzept ist ein System von Maßnahmen, die für einen besseren Schutz vor (sexuellen) Übergriffen in der Institution sorgen. Diskussion und Schlussfolgerung: Es ist notwendig, dass es in Institutionen eine klare Haltung gegen (sexuelle) Gewalt gibt. Die Erarbeitung eines Schutzkonzeptes trägt zur (Weiter–) Entwicklung dieser Haltung bei und erhöht das Sicherheitsgefühl der Fachkräfte zum Vorgehen im konkreten Fall.
Ground ice investigation in the Far Northwest of Canada.
Creators: name: Lacelle, Denis.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: Physical Geography.

description: Ground ice formation in the Far Northwest of Canada was investigated using stable isotopes (delta18O and deltaD) and 14C dating. These have proven to be valuable tools when inferring the origin of ground ice bodies. The major findings are: (1) During the Late Pleistocene, massive tabular ground ice bodies formed extensively in the Willow River area, Richardson Mountains. These ice bodies are currently exposed in the headwalls of retrogressive thaw slumps as a result of climate warming. Two units were recognized on the basis of ice structure: a debris-rich ice overlain by a diamicton. The debris-rich ice, characterized by low delta 18O values (-30‰ to -27‰), is believed to have formed by in situ freezing of subglacial meltwater derived from the Laurentide ice sheet. The meltwater flowed through water-saturated till between relict and aggrading permafrost. A decrease in subglacial meltwater flow from the ice sheet and a decrease in enthalpy transfer from the meltwater caused the freezing of the meltwater within the proglacial water-saturated till. The ice in the diamicton is characterized by relatively high delta 18O values (-26‰ to -20‰) and formed from the freezing of isotopically enriched Holocene waters. (2) In the northern Yukon, a delta18O analysis of surface and subsurface ice was undertaken. The results indicate that the delta18O composition of the various ice types is dependent upon a number of factors, such as surface air temperature, relative humidity and freezing rates. Holocene age waters are characterized by delta18O values >-27‰, while Pleistocene age waters have delta18O values <-27‰, indicating colder air temperature at the time of precipitation. The effect of evaporation on the isotopic composition of water was best observed on open surfaces where enrichment in the order of 5--11‰ in 18 O was measured.
Reforming arbitration class, gender and the conseil des prud'hommes in Tourcoing, 1848--1894

description: Created in 1806 by Napoleon, the conseil des prud'hommes were municipal labour arbitration boards established to settle workplace differences between workers and employers in the textile industry amicably and through conciliation. The northern French town of Tourcoing was a comparatively conservative city, where radical politics and confrontational labour relations found little support throughout the nineteenth century. Therefore, the arbitration boards known as the conseil des prud'hommes could be expected to have been a popular method of settling workplace conflicts. Initially, only employers could elect and be board members; reform in 1848 extended these rights to male workers. Other important changes occurred in the second half of the nineteenth century that could potentially affect labour relations: the legalization of strikes in 1864 and the legalization of unions two decades later. This thesis explores the impact these changes had on the use of Tourcoing's conseil des prud'hommes, as well as the outcome of cases brought to their attention between 1848 and 1894. It argues that, although the boards were underused in this period, the presence of workers on the boards was beneficial to Tourcoing's working class, particularly female and unskilled workers, who found themselves losing less and compromising more in order to settle their workplace disputes. However, the growing emphasis on compromise did not please employers who began to abandon the boards immediately after the 1848 reform. The influence of unions and socialist groups in the late 1880s and early 1890s reinforced this trend not only among employers, but also among female and unskilled workers who found the increasingly confrontational attitudes at the boards an obstacle to settling cases through conciliation. As a result, both of these groups of workers also began to turn their backs on the prud'hommes.
The role of the sampling distribution in developing understanding of statistical inference
Creators: name: Lipson, Kay L.
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: There has been widespread concern expressed by members of the statistics education community in the past few years about the lack of any real understanding demonstrated by many students completing courses in introductory statistics. This deficiency in understanding has been particularly noted in the area of inferential statistics, where students, particularly those studying statistics as a service course, have been inclined to view statistical inference as a set of unrelated recipes. As such, these students have developed skills that have little practical application and are easily forgotten. This thesis is concerned with the development of understanding in statistical inference for beginning students of statistics at the post-secondary level. This involves consideration of the nature of understanding in introductory statistical inference, and how understanding can be measured in the context of statistical inference. In particular, the study has examined the role of the sampling distribution in the students' schemas for statistical inference, and its relationship to both conceptual and procedural understanding. The results of the study have shown that, as anticipated, students will construct highly individual schemas for statistical inference but that the degree of integration of the concept of sampling distribution within this schema is indicative of the level of development of conceptual understanding in that student. The results of the study have practical implications for the teaching of courses in introductory statistics, in terms of content, delivery and assessment.

description: Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is an atopic condition of the esophagus that has become increasingly recognized over the last 15 years. Diagnosis of the disorder is dependent on the patient’s clinical manifestations, and must be confirmed by histologic findings on esophageal mucosal biopsies. Patients with EoE should be referred to an allergist for optimal management, which may include dietary modifications and pharmacologic agents such as proton pump inhibitors (PPI) and corticosteroids, and for the diagnosis and management of comorbid atopic conditions. Mechanical dilation of the esophagus may also be necessary. The epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of EoE are discussed in this review.
Application of Cope-type hydroamination in the synthesis of hydrazones and the total synthesis of the benzyltetrahydroisoquinoline norreticuline

Subjects: subject: Chemistry, Organic.

description: The hydroamination of alkenes and alkynes is a highly desirable, yet underdeveloped approach to nitrogen incorporation into molecules. Currently, this approach is predominantly limited to transition metal catalysis and suffers from limitations in substrate scope and functional group compatibility. The focus of thesis is the development of simple, metal-free hydroaminations through a different approach that is concerted in nature: the Cope-type hydroamination (eq. 1). This transformation was applied towards the intermolecular hydroamination of alkynes with hydrazines, and is regioselective for the linear, "anti-Markovnikov" isomer 5 (eq. 2) and is presented in Chapter 2. This methodology has also been applied to intramolecular cyclizations and has been extended towards the synthesis of natural products with a specific focus on the challenging formation of 6-membered rings. The total synthesis of the benzyltetrahydroisoquinoline alkaloid norreticuline 8 through a Cope-type hydroamination key step (eq. 3) is presented in Chapter 3.

description: We recently investigated the effects of the noradrenergic antidepressant reboxetine and the antipsychotic amisulpride compared to placebo on neural correlates of primary reinforcers by visual erotic stimulation in healthy subjects. Whereas, amisulpride left subjective sexual functions and corresponding neural activations unimpaired, attenuated neural activations were observed under reboxetine within the nucleus accumbens (Nacc) along with diminished behavioral sexual functioning. However, a global dampening of the reward system under reboxetine seemed not intuitive considering the complementary role of the noradrenergic to the dopamine system in reward-related learning mediated by prediction error processing. We therefore investigated the sample of 17 healthy males in a mean age of 23.8 years again by functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), to explore the noradrenergic effects on neural reward prediction error signaling. Participants took reboxetine (4 mg/d), amisulpride (200 mg/d), and placebo each for 7 days within a randomized, double-blind, within-subject cross-over design. During fMRI, we used an established monetary incentive task to assess neural reward expectation and prediction error signals within the bilateral Nacc using an independent anatomical mask for a region of interest (ROI) analysis. Activations within the same ROI were also assessed for the erotic picture paradigm. We confirmed our previous results from the whole brain analysis for the selected ROI by significant (p < 0.05 FWE-corrected) attenuated activations within the Nacc during visual sexual stimulation under reboxetine compared to placebo. However, activations in the Nacc concerning prediction error processing and monetary reward expectation were unimpaired under reboxetine compared to placebo, along with unimpaired reaction times in the reward task. For both tasks, neural activations and behavioral processing were not altered by amisulpride compared to placebo. The observed attenuated neural activations within the Nacc during visual erotic stimulation along with unimpaired neural prediction error and monetary reward expectation processing provide evidence for a differential modulation of the neural reward system by the noradrenergic agent reboxetine depending on the presence of primary reinforcers such as erotic stimuli in contrast to secondary such as monetary rewards.

description: It was the aim of the project to develop a method to determine the transformation of substances in liquid manure. In a first step, the heterogeneity of manure of different type and origin was tested. Furthermore, a procedure was tested which is capable to take samples homogeneously from a manure storage tank. Obviously, representative sampling is possible in case mixing devices which are routinely applied by the farmers are used prior to sampling. In order to get an overview on the variability of liquid manure of different type and origin (pig-/cattle manure; manure sampled in summer and winter, from different regions and livestock breeding) 30 manures were sampled and characterized. Furthermore, temperature (including a temperature profile) in manure tanks was reported in order to select a realistic test temperature. Six manures were selected to perform transformation studies of two veterinary medicinal products (Salicylic acid, Paracetamol) and a biocide. The experimental methodology which was developed in the project was used in a first inter-laboratory comparison (ring test) with 5 laboratories. Experiences of the participants were presented and discussed on a workshop and based on the results the developed test protocol was adapted.

description: What can be done to ensure that the needs are met of children who are limited in proficiency of the English language? Such is the familiar query of educators and professionals alike. In fact, one elementary school principal stated that this question often presents itself as the first item of business when administrators meet together (Marian Waterman, personal communication, October, 1997). How do we know where to place a child? How do we evaluate progress? When progress is limited, how do we know if the child requires special education services? The answers lie in appropriate assessment.
Semi-formal, not semi-realistic: a component description manager

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: A new semi-formal method for describing and retrieving components has been devised, implemented and validated through the development of a component description manager. A new classification framework which allows component providers to describe components in a semi-formal but consistent way is proposed. The component descriptions are stored in a repository, and component consumers can use the same framework to define their requirements when searching for components. The framework is semi-formal and focuses on ease of use for the component providers and consumers. It aims to provide a level of accuracy and consistency close to that achieved by formal methods, without the same level of complexity.

Subjects: subject: Engineering, Chemical.

description: Single domain antibodies (sdAb) have emerged as a family of novel antibodies that have vast applications. Of particular relevance, ToxA5.l, a sdAb capable of binding to, and therefore neutralizing, Clostridium difficile toxin A (TcdA) has been developed. The antibiotic resistant version of C. difficile bacterium is of major health concern worldwide, particularly in hospital settings, causing severe gastrointestinal disorders. In this study, we investigated various parameters affecting the expression of the ToxA5.1 sdAb in E. coli TG1 and optimization of culture conditions revealed that temperature and medium buffering are critical parameters affecting small-scale expression of this recombinant protein. Large-scale expression was achieved in bioreactor at 503 mg/L of recombinant protein. Protein quantification was performed using SDS-PAGE densitometry while binding activity against TcdA was assessed via Biacore. Our studies also led to medium simplification for small-scale expression, shorter expression time and simpler purification process without impairing on the quality of the expressed recombinant protein.
A study of classification techniques

description: The following thesis studies both parametric and non parametric approaches to classification. Among the various methods which exist, three are developed in detail. They are the Bayes rule, classification based on kernel density estimation and Fisher's discriminant function applied to the ranked data. Furthermore, we propose a new classification rule based on ranks. A Monte Carlo simulation study is then performed to test this new method and compare it with the other three classification techniques. The simulations indicate that the new classification rule performs well in many cases and that it is most effective when the number of dimensions are high and few observations are available. In this particular situation, the new classification rule proposed had the lowest probability of misclassification.

description: The concept of National Forest Park (NFP) is mainly used in mainland China. Originating in 1982, NFP embodies a “top-down” concept and associated program launched by the Chinese government. It is aimed at promoting forest-based tourism and economic development under the premise of protecting forest resources. After 30 years of development, NFPs have made great achievements in protecting specific forest resources, promoting forest-based tourists, promoting regional economic development, and they have gained popularity worldwide. However, due to the fast pace of NFP expansion, lack of predictable planning and innovative thinking, and ineffective governance, some problems like overexploitation, scenic pollution, monotonous development patterns, and ecological degradation associated with NFP constrain its sustainable development. In order to solve these problems effectively, a holistic review of the status of NFPs in China is needed. To help meet this need, the origin, evolution, and current status of NFPs in China were analyzed. The presented research also included retrospective analyses of challenges and opportunities for NFPs sustainable development in China. Results show that from 1982 to 2015, the number of NFPs grew dramatically, and this development occurred in four phases. In addition, NFP development has been unbalanced in regional distribution. When analyzing the evolution of NFPs, the main issues to date have included failure to implement Master Plans in practice, unclear supervisory responsibilities, ambiguous classification, unbalanced distribution, destruction of natural resource and ecosystems, insufficient cultural protection, weak awareness of nature education, lack of resource statistics, monotonous planning, and weak marketing. Study findings can contribute to promoting the sustainable future development of NFPs and support the forest-based tourism industry.

Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: Philosophy.

description: The purpose of this preliminary study is to assess levels of compassion fatigue, burnout, and compassion satisfaction in frontline shelter workers, with consideration of demographic and spiritual characteristics as possible ameliorating factors. The study participants are frontline workers in three emergency men's shelters in Ottawa. Research in related fields, particularly health care and mental health, indicates a prevalence of compassion fatigue and burnout among human service personnel, either as a result of direct exposure to acts of aggression (primary exposure) or as a result of working with persons in distress (secondary exposure). The Professional Quality Of Life Scale was used to assess the responses of frontline shelter workers on measures of compassion fatigue, burnout, and compassion satisfaction. The Spiritual Well-Being and Community Spirituality Scales were used to assess spirituality on the domains of faith, hope and love.

Catalytic vapor-phase hydrogenation of acetylene in a stirred reactor.
Creators: name: Safo, Yaw.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1967
Subjects: subject: Engineering, Chemical.

description: The hydrogenetaion of acetylene has been studied over pumice supported nickel, palladium and platinum catalysts, in a stirred flow reactor, and the effect of several variables upon the activity and selectivity of the catalysts has been examined. Concentration and temperature gradients over the catalyst surface were eliminated by the use of stirring in the reactor. It has been found that the selectivity of the reaction depended on temperature, feed ratio and the atomic number of the catalyst metal. The order of selectivity over the metals is palladium>nickel>platinum when the feed ration is less than 2. For feed ratio greater than 2, the order becomes nickel>palladium>platinum. The change in the order of selectivity over the metals is related to the "transition phenomenon", a manifestation of changes in the kinetic form of the reaction. While nickel showed the transition phenomenon at a feed ration of 2.111 at 90°C, and platinum at feed rations of 1.116 at 100.5°C, 1.473 at 79°C and 2.365 at 61.5°C, no such phenomenon was observed over palladium for the conditions studied.

Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Computer Science.

description: Programs which semi-autonomously act on behalf of software applications or users and execute tasks are called agents. Agent technology is used to design the personal assistant, which falls under the category of software agents. The personal assistant is broken down into different agent components and forms a partially ad-hoc multi-agent system. Though the personal assistant is intended for mobile device users and executes in mobile devices, some of its components are executed in a workstation i.e., desktop PC. The personal assistant's components that are executed in a workstation act as a gateway of communication for the personal assistant. This approach resolves problems such as unstable execution environments, overloading, and insufficient resources in mobile devices. The personal assistant is executed on the PersonalJava runtime environment and the MicroFIPA-OS agent platform. The personal assistant's components in the workstation are executed on the Java Runtime Environment and the FIPA-OS agent platform. The personal assistant could assist a mobile device user while executing tasks such as file and media transfer, e-mail formatting, address book maintenance, and report retrieval.

Mobilization of gold into lake sediments.

Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa

Subjects: subject: Hydrology.

description: Geochemical exploration methods are able to contribute significantly to the detection of concealed Au mineralization in glaciated terrains. Gold analyses of lake sediments from the glaciated Canadian Shield have been used since the mid-1980s to explore for Au mineralization. For lake sediments to be an effective indicator of Au mineralization, the element must migrate in solution or adsorbed on suspensates in the boreal forest zone where low relief and disorganized drainage restricts dispersal and concentration in clastic form. Organic-rich profundal lake sediments often contain anomalous Au contents near Au mineralization, suggesting that Au is entering the lake environment in mobile form. Confirmation of the processes by which Au is mobilized into lake sediments could thus contribute to improved exploration methodologies. This study investigated the nature of Au mobility and dispersion into lake sediments under alkaline and acid hydrological conditions in the southern Canadian Shield. The study makes recommendations for exploration strategies to be employed under these conditions. Three field areas were selected for detailed study: Napier Lake, Ontario; PAP Lake, Saskatchewan; and Foster Lake, Manitoba. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

description: Non-road mobile machinery (NRMM) are transportable machines and vehicles that are not intended for transporting people or goods by road. Compared to road transport, the number of machines in the NRMM sector in Germany is small. More than 1 million agricultural tractors, about 250,000-400,000 construction machines with more than 19 kW and a fleet of more than 4,000 inland waterway vessels (more than 18,000 across Europe) are responsible for a significant amount for high particulate and NOx emissions. Regulation (EU) No. 2016/1628 [1] comprehensively amended the exhaust emissions legislation for non-road mobile machinery. An extraordinarily wide range of machinery and equipment, including lawn mowers, chain saws, construction machinery, generators, inland waterway vessels and rail vehicles, falls under the regulation with the current exhaust stage V. In addition, the focus of the supplementary regulations (EU) 2017/655 [2] and (EU) 2018/989) [3] is the monitoring of emissions during actual operation of the machine (ISM-In Service Monitoring). The standards of Regulation (EU) No. 2016/1628 [1] are adopted almost completely by the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) in UNECE Regulation 96 [15], with the exception of the provisions for engines of inland waterway vessels and for rail vehicles. In Germany, market surveillance of mobile machinery and equipment falls under the responsibility of the federal states with their competent market surveillance authorities. Market surveillance is carried out according to the national market surveillance strategy for the years 2022-2025 according to Article 13 of Regulation (EU) 2019/1020 [4]. There is a great need for harmonization among manufacturers for uniform rules for the retrofitting of diesel particulate filters, as there is a wide range of certification options for exhaust aftertreatment systems. In addition to air pollution control measures, noise protection is playing an increasingly important role, especially with regard to construction noise. For 57 different types of machinery and equipment, noise emission requirements for placing on the market are therefore specified in accordance with Directive 2000/14/EC ("Outdoor Directive") [5]. The Outdoor Directive contains regulations on the measurement, labeling and, where applicable, compliance with limits of noise emissions emitted into the environment by municipal vehicles, gardening and landscaping equipment and thus serves to curb immissions. According to Directive 2006/42/EC ("Machinery Directive") [6], in addition to the requirements for machine safety, a machine must also comply with the state of the art for noise reduction, especially at the source. © 2022, VDI Verlag GMBH.

The boundaryless career: is there a disparity between theory, practice and worker desire in relation to older workers?
Creators: name: McCarthy, Patrick B.

description: This thesis examines the capacity and desire of older workers to provide discretionary effort and skilled contributions in what some researchers consider to be the predominant form of new career, the 'boundaryless career'. Features of the 'boundaryless career' include multiple employers, and the demise of the organisational loyalty that was embodied within the image of the 'company man'. The research is justified by the fall in Australia's fertility rates and the simultaneous ageing of Australia's population. In combination, these are predicted to produce significant shortfalls in skilled labour, which experts believe will require organisations to better manage and utilise its older workers. The case study and pattern matching methodology involved interviews with forty volunteer older workers who worked in the headquarters of Australia Post, which enjoys a formidable local and international reputation. 'Career plateau' was a term used by many to describe their perception of their current career position and prospects. Their descriptions of their work situation and their ambitions, at work and in retirement, were analysed for patterns which were then compared with literature on career plateaus, motivation and job design, and the 'boundaryless career'. This analysis was overlaid onto a foundation of contemporary management practice with regard to older workers, current business environments and issues, and views on the skill sets needed for the future. This foundation emerged from a review of academic literature, business and government reports and from an ongoing review of the Australian Financial Review over the six years of the study. Contributions to theory and practice are claimed in the parent theories of career plateau, and older worker motivation; together with the focus theory of boundaryless careers. Although there are legitimate organisational constraints on optimising the older worker contribution, older workers do not contribute to capacity, and organisations do little to optimise their contribution. Joint organisational and individual worker attention to skills maintenance and career management over an entire working life will likely be 'boundaryless' for both organisations and the older workforce.

description: Since the 1980's a number of amendments have been made to the Canadian criminal justice system and Canadian police services in an effort to increase the reporting of sexual assault cases. According to the Department of Justice Canada (1997) the term sexual assault is used to refer to criminal acts, which range from any unwanted sexual touching to forced intercourse. However, despite reforms, under-reporting continues to remain drastically high. This study uses Anthony Giddens' social theory of structuration as a theoretical framework and employs semi-structured in-depth qualitative interviews as a data collection method to analyze and further an understanding of female sexual assault survivors' perceptions of police investigations and their reasons for not reporting their assaults. The data collected for this study was analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings suggest that survivor perceptions of police investigations had an impact on their decisions not to report their assaults to police. Additionally, survivors indicated that their decisions not to report were also contingent upon the overarching theme of fear of being discredited. Within this theme, the sub-themes of self-blame and guilt, previous sexual history, lack of understanding of police investigation, and distrust of the Canadian criminal justice system also impacted participants' decision-making processes in regard to that which they elected to report to police. These findings were analyzed using Anthony Giddens' theory of structuration, and can be used to further our understanding of why sexual assault survivors may choose not to report their assaults to police.
Testing the therapeutic efficacy of vesicular stomatitis virus as a single agent or in combination with the histone deacetylase inhibitor, MS-275, in a mouse model of ovarian cancer

description: Ovarian cancer is the fifth leading cause of cancer death in Canadian women. Current treatments lack long-teen therapeutic benefit, indicating a need for novel approaches. An interesting novel cancer therapeutic is the oncolytic virus, vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV), which has yielded promising results in both in vitro and in vivo studies. We performed the first tests of VSV in a transgenic mouse model of cancer. Efficacy testing was completed in vitro and in vivo using cell survival assays and survival studies. Despite promising results in vitro, there was a lack of therapeutic benefit in vivo of the single agent treatment. To attempt to increase the therapeutic efficacy, we combined VSV with a histone deacetylase inhibitor. In vitro combination treatments were effective; however survival was not improved. These results indicate a lack of therapeutic benefit with VSV treatment in this transgenic model of cancer, but optimization of the treatment regimen still needs to be explored.
Constructing 'reality': The portrayal of Internet child luring by Toronto-based newspapers 1998--2008

description: Often simplistic and misleading, the reporting of child sexual abuse has long been a staple of commercial news media's portrayal of crime and criminal justice. A mixed quantitative/qualitative content analysis methodology is applied to the study of three Toronto-based newspaper's construction of Internet Child Luring, between the 1st of January, 1998, and August 1st, 2008. Erected as a serious problem, above which a sober appraisal of known facts could sustain, a Textual Panic is said to exist within newsprint's rendering of the information-age crime. Rational cogitating offenders, undeterred by weak legislation and underfunded police forces, are described as exploiting the communication medium in attempts to lure defenseless children into illicit sexual activity.

B for Bad Cinema: aesthetics, politics and cultural value

description: Film studies has tended to be most comfortable in the realm of the exceptional (the masterpiece, the progressive text, the filmic controversy) and the popular (the blockbuster, the classical Hollywood film, the genre text). By and large, it has had less to say about the rest of film culture---the many thousands of films which do not get reviewed by critics, which lack the production values to be taken seriously as cinema, or which confound or contest norms of taste, aesthetics, and textual quality. Welcome to the world of B for Bad Cinema: Aesthetics, Politics and Cultural Value, a three-day conference hosted by Film and Television Studies in the School of English, Communications and Performance Studies at Monash University. Held at the University's Clayton campus in south-eastern Melbourne, B for Bad Cinema was a welcome opportunity to hear from over a hundred scholars about recent research on a wide variety of topics and texts, loosely connected under the bad film rubric.
