description: Background: Nosocomial infections remain an important source of morbidity, mortality, and increased health care costs in hospitalized patients. This is particularly problematic in intensive care units (ICUs) because of increased patient vulnerability due to the underlying severity of illness and increased susceptibility from utilization of invasive therapeutic and monitoring devices. Lactoferrin (LF) and the products of its breakdown have multiple biological effects, which make its utilization of interest for the prevention of nosocomial infections in the critically ill. Methods/design: This is a phase II randomized, multicenter, double-blinded trial to determine the effect of LF on antibiotic-free days in mechanically ventilated, critically ill, adult patients in the ICU. Eligible, consenting patients will be randomized to receive either LF or placebo. The treating clinician will remain blinded to allocation during the study; blinding will be maintained by using opaque syringes and containers. The primary outcome will be antibiotic-free days, defined as the number of days alive and free of antibiotics 28 days after randomization. Secondary outcomes will include: antibiotic utilization, adjudicated diagnosis of nosocomial infection (longer than 72 h of admission to ICU), hospital and ICU length of stay, change in organ function after randomization, hospital and 90-day mortality, incidence of tracheal colonization, changes in gastrointestinal permeability, and immune function. Outcomes to inform the conduct of a larger definitive trial will also be evaluated, including feasibility as determined by recruitment rates and protocol adherence. Discussion: The results from this study are expected to provide insight into a potential novel therapeutic use for LF in critically ill adult patients. Further, analysis of study outcomes will inform a future, large-scale phase III randomized controlled trial powered on clinically important outcomes related to the use of LF. Trial registration: The trial was registered at www.ClinicalTrials.gov on 18 November 2013. Trial registration number: NCT01996579 .

Machine learning for robotic grasping
Creators: name: ALLDAY, REBECCA NOELINE
Publisher: name: University of Surrey
Year: 2021

description: "Grasping is a fundamental element of robotics which has seen great advances in hardware and engineering over the last few decades. Despite this, most current approaches struggle to generalise to the diverse environments and challenges seen in robotic grasping. This thesis looks at how data-driven deep learning methods can be used to provide this generalisation in various aspects of the pick and place pipeline. Specifically, it explores the static process of detecting repeated objects to be grasped and the dynamic process of grasping a located object.
description: Engineered solutions offer great accuracy and confidence in grasping technology, but are often brittle and fail as soon as the environment or task changes. Deep learning approaches have been shown to learn representations that provide superior performance over a wide variety of tasks, without the need for hand-engineering. Reinforcement Learning (RL) has the potential to transfer deep learning methods to dynamic problems by learning policies which map from
description: an environment’s state to an action to be taken. However, learning these methods end-to-end requires large volumes of training data, which is often impractical and sometimes impossible to collect in robotics applications.
description: This thesis offers three main contributions. The first contribution presents a method for learning vision based policies, using separate but connected perception and control feedback during training. The proposed Auto-Perceptive Reinforcement Learning (APRiL) method allows the
description: perception system to learn the necessary features to interpret the state of the environment, whilst allowing the control policy to focus on how to complete the task at hand using all available state information during training.
description: In goal driven tasks, with multiple potential targets, a method is required to determine which target to select. In warehouse picking, the type of target object is available at deployment, but is not always known during training and there are often multiple instances available to be selected. To address this, the second contribution proposes a zero-shot repeated object detection method, which can locate instances of similar objects in an image given a conditioning object. This method can also be used with different definitions of similarity, including the ability to distinguish between pickable and unpickable instances for a given policy.
description: In the final contribution, this thesis shows how these methods can be brought together in a single framework within the Robot Operating System (ROS) to complete a warehouse style picking task, where a given type of object can be picked using a learnt target selection method and grasping policy."

description: Background: Despite best evidence demonstrating the effectiveness of increased intensity of exercise after stroke, current levels of therapy continue to be below those required to optimise motor recovery. We developed and tested an implementation intervention that aims to increase arm exercise in stroke rehabilitation. The aim of this study was to illustrate the use of a behaviour change framework, the Behaviour Change Wheel, to identify the mechanisms of action that explain how the intervention produced change. Methods We implemented the intervention at three stroke rehabilitation units in the United Kingdom. A purposive sample of therapy team members were recruited to participate in semi-structured interviews to explore their perceptions of how the intervention produced change at their work place. Audio recordings were transcribed and imported into NVivo 10 for content analysis. Two coders separately analysed the transcripts and coded emergent mechanisms. Mechanisms were categorised using the Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF) (an extension of the Capability, Opportunity, Motivation and Behaviour model (COM-B) at the hub of the Behaviour Change Wheel). Results We identified five main mechanisms of action: ‘social/professional role and identity’, ‘intentions’, ‘reinforcement’, ‘behavioural regulation’ and ‘beliefs about consequences’. At the outset, participants viewed the research team as an external influence for whom they endeavoured to complete the study activities. The study design, with a focus on implementation in real world settings, influenced participants’ intentions to implement the intervention components. Monthly meetings between the research and therapy teams were central to the intervention and acted as prompt or reminder to sustain implementation. The phased approach to introducing and implementing intervention components influenced participants’ beliefs about the feasibility of implementation. Conclusions The Behaviour Change Wheel, and in particular the Theoretical Domains Framework, were used to investigate mechanisms of action of an implementation intervention. This approach allowed for consideration of a range of possible mechanisms, and allowed us to categorise these mechanisms using an established behaviour change framework. Identification of the mechanisms of action, following testing of the intervention in a number of settings, has resulted in a refined and more robust intervention programme theory for future testing.

Migrants, industry policy and decentralisation: from the Accord to the Workplace Relations Act
Creators: name: Bertone, Santina
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The Prices and Incomes Accord was the centrepiece of Labor's social and economic policy. Through its multiple phases it underpinned the Government's reform strategy, including the decentralisation of industrial relations. While the original Accord affirmed a commitment to immigration and multiculturalism, the welfare of migrant workers was never an explicit concern in this or subsequent versions. However the early provisions for centralised wage fixing and the social wage offered major benefits to vulnerable groups such as migrants. Later phases of the Accord, framed within the context of economic deregulation and industry restructuring, helped accelerate the loss of lower ,skilled 'migrant' jobs, and introduced decentralised bargaining. With the election of a Coalition government in 1996, the Accord is defunct and more 'reforms' are foreshadowed in the Workplace Relations Act. From the Accord to the Workplace Relations Act, the ongoing decentralisation of bargaining poses dangers for migrant workers, whose bargaining power has been eroded by long term structural changes in the manufacturing industries.

Urban River Restoration and Planning in Latin America : A systematic review

Year: 2017

description: Urban rivers are opportunities for innovative urban planning, ecological restoration and the creation of valuable public space. Globally, there is interest in restoring urban rivers to meet environmental and public goals. We systematically search the academic and grey literatures in both English and Spanish to identify cases, trends, and examples of successful urban river restoration projects in Latin America. The search of the academic literature in English and Spanish revealed that the documentation on urban river restoration projects is sparse and dispersed. Peer-­‐reviewed articles presented specialized studies but not comprehensive descriptions of the restoration or planning process. The review of the grey literature in Spanish was much more successful in uncovering information about urban river restoration projects and plans, even though few official plans were found. Our systematic search of the academic literature identified 20 cases from 7 countries, while the grey literature search revealed 45 projects from 12 countries. We analyzed four cases in greater depth: The Bogotá, Medellín and Magdalena rivers in Colombia and the Rímac river in Peru. We found that corridors, parks and greenways are the most common elements of river restoration projects. The renewed spaces often include recreational areas and bicycle paths. The drivers that motivate the restoration projects are diverse. The Magdalena river project aims to improve fluvial transportation, commerce and trade along the river. The Bogotá river project intends to restore the environmental quality and landscape as a result of a public and legal claim. The Medellín project aims to create new public space and connect west-­‐east neighborhoods for solving segregation. Finally, the Rímac river project was motivated by transportation interests and sought to provide Lima with green spaces; however, the case was cancelled and led to controversy. Ultimately, we uncovered fewer urban river restoration plans than we anticipated. Nevertheless, the potential remains large, and in the next decade, we foresee that there will be a new wave of urban river restoration planning in Latin America that will improve the quality of life for residents, and the environmental conditions of urban rivers.

Business advantage strategies for diversified transformation to achieve competitiveness in today's environment

Marketing strategy involves the application of the marketing mix—product or service, price, distribution channels, and promotion—to help businesses achieve their marketing objectives. These elements of the marketing mix must be aligned appropriately with the organizations or company’s goals, taking into consideration the target audience and the prevailing market conditions at the time of implementation. The aim is to ensure that the chosen marketing strategies are both efficient and effective, thereby maximizing their benefit to the organization.

To achieve this, an Integrated Marketing Communications (IMC) approach must be employed, utilizing modern communication tools to engage with consumers. This includes a broader array of tools and tactics beyond traditional methods, informed by both domestic and international research. Such an approach reflects the dynamics of modern business, which focuses on maximizing profitability through long-term consumer satisfaction. This must be done in tandem with an understanding of the rapidly changing behaviors of modern consumers, especially in relation to market segmentation.

description: Our design team, composed of Luke Marsh and Jordan Tieken, was given the senior design project of the ASCE-AISC 2018
National Student Steel Bridge Competition. This competition challenges students to design, fabricate, and erect model bridges
under real world constraints. The scope of our project only encompassed the design aspect of the competition, and required us
to produce fully finalized designs and specifications for a bridge model that would excel in the student competition. It was
intended that the engineering students of this coming spring would use our finalized design to compete in the competition if it
were proved adequate. To meet our project objectives, two phases were formed. Phase I consisted of selecting a design after
several preliminary designs were given consideration. Phase II involved fully detailing the selected design.
To begin Phase I, a full review was first completed of the given competition parameters. From this, preliminary design
candidates were two-dimensionally conceptualized around the restrictions of the competition. These initial designs were then
analyzed for structural stability using a computer software program called RISA. Each design was tested under the provided
competition loads. Once the preliminary designs were confirmed to be viable candidates for competition, they were compared
to one another, as well as the categories of competition under which the designs were to be score, using a decision matrix.
Following the comparison, a final design to pursue further concept detailing was chosen. The design selected was the sixmember
cable stayed bridge model. It presented a high level of performance in each category of competition, aside from
construction speed. However, it was determined that a reduction in construction time required could be attained with further
design. Therefore, the selected model was ready to be detailed.
Phase II required the design be expanded to three-dimensions. Once a concept was formulated, it was tested, and members
were exactly sized accordingly. Connections were then designed and modeled. A finalized check using RISA3D was performed
last using all determined member sizes and connections. Under competition loading, the designed model was proved
adequate. Therefore, recommendation that the six-member cable stayed bridge model design be utilized was given.

Continuous electric steelmaking: theoretical and practical design issues

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The WORCRA technology, developed by Womer and his team in the 60s and 70s, demonstrated at a 10 tph scale that highly refined steel could be made continuously in one furnace by combining an electric melting bowl with a oxygen refining channel. Modern EAF processes that utilise semicontinuous feed and flat bath operation contain many of the features present in the WORCRA technology. The increasing demand for high quality products and high productivity from EAF steelmakers suggests that continuous electric steelmaking may have some future. This paper shall discuss the theoretical and practical problems associated with developing continuous electric steelmaking into the next century based on the experience from the earlier work and more recent research into continuous steelmaking.

description: Adult aging results in a progressive loss of vestibular hair cell receptors and afferent fibres. Given the robustness of vestibulo-ocular and vestibular-evoked whole-body responses to age-related deterioration, it was proposed that the vestibular system compensates centrally. Here we examine the potential for central compensation in vestibular sensitivity with adult aging by using a combination of real and virtual rotation-based psychophysical testing at two stimulus frequencies (0.1 & 1 Hz). Real rotations activate semi-circular canal hair cell receptors naturally via mechanotransduction, while electrical current used to evoke virtual rotations does not rely on mechanical deformation of hair cell receptors to activate vestibular afferents. This two-pronged approach allows us to determine the independent effects of age-related peripheral afferent receptor loss and potential compensatory mechanisms. Older adults had thresholds for discriminating real rotations that were significantly greater than young adults at 0.1 Hz (7.2 vs. 3 º/s), but the effect of age was weaker (non-significant) at 1 Hz (2.4 vs. 1.3 º/s). For virtual rotations, older adults had greater thresholds than young adults at 0.1 Hz (1.2 vs. 0.5 mA), however, older adults outperformed young adults at 1 Hz (0.6 vs. 1.1 mA). Based on these thresholds, we argue that central vestibular processing gain is enhanced in older adults for 1 Hz real and virtual rotations, partially offsetting the negative impact of normal age-related hair cell receptor and primary afferent loss. We propose that the frequency dependence of this compensation reflects the physiological importance of the 1-5 Hz range in natural vestibular input.
An ice-berg scenario for late-type spiral galaxy bulges.

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Fitting exponential profiles to the bulges of the early-type spiral galaxies from de Jong & van der Kruit (1994) under-estimates their sizes at the 2-3 sigma significance level. Allowing for the range of structural shapes which these bulges possess - through fitting an r1/n profile - the mean effective bulge radius to disk scale-length ratio, re/h, is larger for the early-type spirals than the late-type spirals at the 1.5-2 sigma level in the optical passbands, and only the 1 sigma level in the K-band. The bulge-to-disk size ratio is therefore not a useful parameter for determining morphological type in spirals. However, the central galaxy (bulge+disk) surface brightness minus the central disk surface brightness is significantly (>3 sigma) brighter for the early-type spirals than the late-type spirals. Similarly, the `normalised' radius at which the bulge and disk light contribute equally is significantly larger for the early-type spirals, and we propose these parameters to help quantify the Hubble sequence for spirals. If the mean bulge-to-disk size ratio is indeed the same for early- and late-type spirals, it implies that the bulges of late-type spirals must be relatively submerged in the disk when compared to the bulges of early-type spirals.

description: In den letzten Jahren sind in den Philippinen viele hundert Aktivisten/innen von bewaffneten Sicherheitskräften ermordet worden. Die Opfer sind Journalist/innen, Mitglieder politischer Parteien, Kirchenleute, linke Zivilgesellschaftler/innen, Gewerkschafter/innen, Lokalpoliti ker/innen oder Landreform- und Antibergbauaktivist/innen. Bisher ist es in nur wenigen Fällen zu Verhaftungen und Verurteilungen der mutmaßlichen Drahtzieher in Politik, Militär, Polizei oder Großgrundbesitz gekommen.

description: On 18 and 19 February 2016, the Heads of State or Government of the 28 Member States of the European Union met within the European Council in Brussels and agreed on a New Settlement of the United Kingdom within the EU. This Insight only focuses on social benefits and freedom of movement. It provides an account of the modifications that the New Settlement aims to introduce and assesses whether such changes would be compatible with the European Treaties. Following such analysis, this Insight concludes that the proposed changes would restrict the right of workers and job seekers to access, respectively, the labour market and social benefits in a host State. Furthermore, the New Settlement would change the scope of the Citizens' Directive granting Member States greater powers to deport EU criminals. This is in violation of the principle of proportionality, legal certainty and the principle nullum crime sine lege. Moreover, the introduction of the 'prior lawful residence' for the EU citizens' family members undermines their parallel right to free movement within the EU and the EU citizens' right to family. Finally, workers' freedom of movement and the principle of non-discrimination would be infringed by the safeguard mechanism, which would allow the UK to restrict in-work benefits for EU citizens for four years from the commencement of their employment.

description: Background: Nosocomial pathogens may be acquired by patients via their own unclean hands, but there has been relatively little emphasis on patient hand hygiene as a tool for preventing healthcare-associated infections (HAIs). Aim: To determine the efficacy of patient hand hygiene interventions in reducing HAIs and improving patient hand hygiene rates compared to usual care. Methods: We conducted a systematic review. Electronic databases and grey literature were searched to August 2014. Experimental and quasi-experimental studies were included if they evaluated a patient hand hygiene intervention conducted in an acute or chronic healthcare facility and included HAI incidence and/or patient hand hygiene rates as an outcome. All steps were performed independently by two investigators. Findings: Ten studies were included, most of which were uncontrolled before-after studies (n=8). The majority of interventions (n=7) were multimodal, with components similar to healthcare worker hand hygiene programs, including education, reminders, audit and feedback, and provision of hand hygiene products. Six studies reported HAI outcomes and 4 studies assessed patient hand hygiene rates; all demonstrated improvements but were at moderate to high risk of bias. Conclusion: Interventions to improve patient hand hygiene may reduce the incidence of HAIs and improve hand hygiene rates, but the quality of evidence is low. Future studies should use stronger designs and be more selective in their choice of outcomes.

Die Menschenrechte in Papua

description: Papua, die östlichste Region Indonesiens und eine der konfliktreichsten des Landes, befindet sich in einer stagnierenden Lage. Auch wenn die indonesische Regierung alles unternimmt, um das Vertrauen der Papuas zu gewinnen, sei es durch einen Besuch des Präsidenten in der Region oder einigen Projekten, die die Region Papua fokussieren. Das Problem ist, dass diese Projekte nur seitens der Regierung in Jakarta beschlossen werden, ohne die Papuas mit in die Planung einzubeziehen.

description: The judgment in case C-73/14, Council v. Commission, forms part of the saga of inter-institutional disputes arising after the entry into force of the Treaty of Lisbon in the context of EU external representation. The Court in this case, in line with Advocate General Sharpston, excludes the applicability of Art. 218, para. 9, TFEU to the submission of statements by the EU before judicial bodies established by international agreements. In this case, the Court established the applicability of Art. 335 TFEU as a sufficient legal basis for the Commission to represent the EU in international judicial proceedings. Insofar as there were no policy-making choices in the submission of the statements for ITLOS advisory opinion in Case No 21, Art. 16, para. 1, TEU had been fully respected. This was also the case for Art. 13, para. 2, TEU and the duty of loyalty, insofar as the Commission had duly consulted the Council and taken the observations from the FISH and COMAR groups into account.

description: Extradition agreements between Member States and third States fall within the competence of Member States, but the ruling in Aleksei Petruhhin (Court of Justice, judgment of 6 September 2016, case C-182/15 [GC]) shows that Member States must exercise this competence in light of EU law if extradition may affect an EU citizen's fundamental rights protected under the Treaties and the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union. This can be the case if the EU citizen who is subject to extradition has exercised his right to free movement by moving from his home State to another Member State. Extradition of Petruhhin, an Estonian citizen, was requested by Russia while he was exercising his right to freedom of movement and residence in Latvia. As is the case in many States, the national law of Latvia does not extend the same level of protection against extradition to foreign citizens, as to its own nationals. The Court of Justice ruled that in such a case, extradition of an EU citizen to a third State is generally prohibited under Art. 18 TFEU and can only be justified if the prosecution in the home Member State is not possible. In addition, this case confirms earlier rulings that the extradition of an EU citizen will not be permitted if his fundamental rights under the Charter will be endangered in the requesting State. The case concerns prohibitions of absolute character, such as prohibition against torture and degrading treatment. To determine the possibility of breach of rights under the Charter, the Member State must undertake a rigorous verification of the level of protection of human rights in the relevant third State before deciding whether to grant the extradition request.

description: We have used the 2dF spectrograph on the Anglo-Australian Telescope to obtain a complete spectroscopic sample of all objects in the magnitude range, 16.5 < bj < 19.8, regardless of morphology, in an area centred on the Fornax Cluster of galaxies. Among the unresolved targets are five objects which are members of the Fornax Cluster. They are extremely compact stellar systems with scale lengths less than 40 parsecs. These ultra-compact dwarfs are unlike any known type of stellar system, being more compact and significantly less luminous than other compact dwarf galaxies, yet much brighter than any globular cluster.

description: The multiplicity of systems of protection of fundamental rights is certainly a badge of honour for Europe. At present, there are no less than three general instruments of protection applicable to the territories of the Member States: the European Convention of human rights, the Charter of fundamental rights and the plethora of national bills of rights. Their coexistence, however, is not as peaceful as one could expect. The European judicial chronicles yearly report a relatively high figure of conflicts, real or sometimes imaginary, between rights and procedural instruments of control. A uniform standard of protection would cure the incoherence deriving from the conflictual co-existence of a plurality of autonomous systems of protection of fundamental rights. It would be consistent with the idea of the unity of fundamental values as a part of the European constitutional heritage. It would consider the process of integration of fundamental rights and values as an integral component of the on-going process of European integration. All the more so that, in spite of the jealous defence of their prerogatives by the national high courts, a creeping harmonization of the standard of protection of human rights has already silently taken place in Europe, mainly through the harmonising effect of the ECHR.
