description: Although RIPK1 (receptor [TNFRSF]-interacting protein kinase 1) is emerging as a critical determinant of cell fate in response to cellular stress resulting from activation of death receptors and DNA damage, its potential role in cell response to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress remains undefined. Here we report that RIPK1 functions as an important prosurvival mechanism in melanoma cells undergoing pharmacological ER stress induced by tunicamycin (TM) or thapsigargin (TG) through activation of autophagy. While treatment with TM or TG upregulated RIPK1 and triggered autophagy in melanoma cells, knockdown of RIPK1 inhibited autophagy and rendered the cells sensitive to killing by TM or TG, recapitulating the effect of inhibition of autophagy. Consistently, overexpression of RIPK1 enhanced induction of autophagy and conferred resistance of melanoma cells to TM- or TG-induced cell death. Activation of MAPK8/JNK1 or MAPK9/JNK2, which phosphorylated BCL2L11/BIM leading to its dissociation from BECN1/Beclin 1, was involved in TM- or TG-induced, RIPK1-mediated activation of autophagy; whereas, activation of the transcription factor HSF1 (heat shock factor protein 1) downstream of the ERN1/IRE1-XBP1 axis of the unfolded protein response was responsible for the increase in RIPK1 in melanoma cells undergoing pharmacological ER stress. Collectively, these results identify upregulation of RIPK1 as an important resistance mechanism of melanoma cells to TM- or TG-induced ER stress by protecting against cell death through activation of autophagy, and suggest that targeting the autophagy-activating mechanism of RIPK1 may be a useful strategy to enhance sensitivity of melanoma cells to therapeutic agents that induce ER stress.

Substitution of the triazine and bipyridine ligands from the complexes by nucleophiles (nu), namely 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) and 2,2′,6,2″-terpyridine (terpy) was studied in a sodium acetate-acetic acid buffer over the pH range 3–6 at 25, 35, and 45°C under pseudo-first order conditions. Reactions are first order in the concentration of complexes 1–4. The reaction rates increase with increasing [nu] and pH whereas ionic strength has no effect on the rate. Straight-line plots with positive slopes are observed when the kobs values are plotted against [nu] or 1/[H+]. The substitution reactions proceed by dissociative as well as associative paths and the latter path is predominant. Observed low Ea values and negative ΔS# values support the dominance of the associative path. Phenyl groups on the triazine ring modulate the reactivity of the complexes. The π-electron cloud on the phenyl rings stabilizes the charge on metal center by inductive donation of electrons toward the metal center, resulting in a decrease in reactivity of the complex and the order is 1 2 3 4. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations also support the interpretations drawn from the kinetic data.

description: In this study, the nitrogen removal performance and microbial characteristics of completely autotrophic nitrogen removal over nitrite (CANON) process was investigated with a step-wise increasing of C/N ratio (0.5, 1, 2 and 4) in a membrane bioreactor. The microbial distribution of aerobic ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) and anaerobic AOB (AAOB) was analysed by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). Results showed that the denitrification ratio rose up correspondingly with the increase of influent C/N, and nitrogen removal rate (NRR) reached the maximum when C/N was 1 due to the harmonious work of denitrification and CANON. However, NRR decreased when influent C/N was more than 2. The threshold C/N ratio of CANON process was 2.2; so the sewage with a high C/N ratio should be pretreated by combining with pre-oxidation of organics or anaerobic-energy-producing process. FISH results showed decreasing numbers of both AOB and AAOB with the addition of organics.

description: This study presents a microbial process for phenol degradation in coking wastewater. The optimum immobilized condition of the strain for degrading phenol was determined through orthogonal experiment. The free and immobilized microorganisms were examined for their capabilities on degrading phenol. Results indicated that the optimum immobilized conditions were 20% microorganism suspension, 5% bentonite, 3% sodium carboxymethyl cellulose content, and 1 h of crosslinking time. The biodegradation rate was optimized at 35°C and 0.23gmL−1 of immobilized microorganism bead. The degrading rate for the immobilized microorganism bead was up to 95.96% at an initial phenol concentration of 100mgL−1; however, the immobilized microorganism considerably took more time (288 h) to reach 94.6% removal efficiency at a much higher concentration of 1000mgL−1. The batch experiment demonstrated that 94.50% of phenol was removed using the beads with the immobilized microorganism at an initial concentration of 500mgL−1. By contrast, only 24.60% and 33.88% of phenol were degraded using the gel beads without and with free microorganisms, respectively. The immobilized microorganism beads can used reused for up to nine cycles at the same initial phenol concentration (50mgL−1) and can be stored up to 40d without loss of its degradation capacity.

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This paper gives a critical overview of Australian research in the area of immigrant languages, arguing that this field of study is a significant component of the wider applied linguistics scene in Australia and has also contributed to enhancing the broad appreciation of the cultural and linguistic diversity of the country. It shows that research into immigrant languages has drawn upon a range of paradigms and evaluates those that have been most productively used. The paper argues that new research developments are needed to take into account the changing linguistic landscape of Australia and the increased fluidity and mobility of current migration.

Whos the friend in the background?: interactional strategies in determining authenticity in calls to a national childrens helpline

Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: A significant number of calls made to Kids Help Line are seen by the organisation as not requiring counselling support, but are rather young people testing or checking out the service. Although the status of many of these testing calls is self-evident, determining the authenticity of others presents the helpline counsellors with a dilemma: confronting the caller if they have doubts about the callers reason for calling while, at the same time, avoiding a premature challenge when the call is genuine. We examine the various interactional strategies that the counsellors artfully deploy in their determination of the status of a call. Outright challenges are rare, and counsellors typically will employ devices that announce their suspicions indirectly and which, at the same time, seamlessly accomplish the mundane business of responding to a call in ways which treat the callers with respect.

Language use in asynchronous computer-mediated communication in Taiwan
Creators: name: Huang, Daphne Li-Jung
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This paper describes how Chinese-English bilinguals in Taiwan use their languages in asynchronous computer-mediated communication, specifically, via Bulletin Board System (BBS) and email. The main data includes two types: emails collected from a social network and postings collected from two BBS websites. By examining patterns of language choice and language use in these two types of data, the aim of this research is to investigate how a language contact phenomenon code-switching (CS) is realized via different writing systems in online environment.The data reveals that there are two levels of CS: CS between languages and CS between writing systems. In terms of CS between languages, three patterns are found: CS between Mandarin and Taiwanese, CS between Mandarin and English, CS between Mandarin, Taiwanese and English. In terms of CS between writing systems, three patterns are also identified: CS between Standard Written Chinese (SWC) and Zhuyin, CS between SWC and English alphabet, and CS between SWC, Zhuyin and English alphabet. This paper presents the two levels of CS by using the examples found in the data and describes the complex relationship between different writing systems and different languages. It is concluded that CS is found to be a common phenomenon on asynchronous CMC, where it fosters multilingualism and multi-orthography. Copyright 2009 Daphne Li-jung Huang.

description: Unanticipated events may take place and disrupt demand and/or production in a supply chain. Conditional on the type, magnitude and duration of disruptions, changes may be called to revise the original production plan. We analyse different disruption scenarios and propose optimal production–inventory models for products facing demand and production disruptions. To lower the cost, we optimise the production run time, purchasing times and order quantity for the manufacturer. Numerical experiments are conducted to examine the influences of disruption time and magnitude on optimal production and purchasing decisions.

Critical and alternative directions in applied linguistics
Creators: name: Pennycook, Alastair
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Critical directions in applied linguistics can be understood in various ways. The term critical as it has been used in critical applied linguistics, critical discourse analysis, critical literacy and so forth, is now embedded as part of applied linguistic work, adding an overt focus on questions of power and inequality to discourse analysis, literacy or applied linguistics more generally. In this paper I will argue, however, that although critical discourse analysis and critical literacy still make claims to a territory different from their non-critical counterparts, much of this work has become conventional and moribund. The use of the term critical (with its problematic claims and divisions) has perhaps reached saturation level. This is not to say, however, that the basic need to bring questions of power, disparity and difference to applied linguistics is any way diminished, but rather that we may need to look in alternative directions for renewal.Here I want to pursue two main possibilities: On the one hand, the effects of critical work have been widely felt, so that the issues and concerns raised by work in this tradition have filtered through to many parts of the field. Work today that might be deemed critical may no longer need to wear this label. On the other hand, a range of different social theories (captured in part by a series of turns) has started to shift the thinking in many domains of applied linguistics in important ways. Just as work in sociolinguistics, for example, has shifted from a central focus on variationist accounts of language to include style, identity, practices and politics more broadly, and work in bi- and multilingualism has started to question the ways in which these are framed (hence, for example, multilanguaging, polylingualism and metrolingualism), so applied linguistics has shifted from a central focus on language teaching, testing and second language acquisition to a broader and more critical conceptualization of language in social life. It has started to take on board the implications of new turns in the social sciences (practices, sensory, somatic, postmodern, ecological, decolonial) and new influences from previously overlooked sources (queer theory, critical geography, postcolonial studies, philosophy). Critical and alternative directions in applied linguistics, therefore, may be found across a variety of domains that are engaging with notions such as language as a local practice.

Applied linguistics in its disciplinary context

Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Australias current attempt to develop a process to evaluate the quality of research (Excellence in Research for Australia ERA) places a central emphasis on the disciplinary organisation of academic work. This disciplinary focus poses particular problems for Applied Linguistics in Australia. This paper will examine Applied Linguistics in relation to this issue of discipline in two ways. First, it will examine ways in which Applied Linguistics has articulated for itself its disciplinary nature. In most formulations of the focus of Applied Linguistics, the emphasis has not been on identifying a discipline, but rather on identifying an area of focus. Such formulations necessarily cover a very diverse range of research methods, theories, etc. This approach can be seen as one of emphasising diversity and breadth within the field. Other attempts have been made to characterise Applied Linguistics in more discipline-like terms. Such broad characterisations however conceal a high degree of internal diversity. Applied Linguistics does not appear to be a discipline but rather an interdisciplinary field of enquiry. Second, the paper will examine some possible implications of the diversity of Applied Linguistics for how it is positioned through the ERA process. Copyright 2010 Anthony J. Liddicoat.

Classroom discourse in problem-based learning classrooms in the health sciences

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Classroom discourse analysis has contributed to understandings of the nature of student-teacher interactions, and how learning takes place in the classroom; however, much of this work has been undertaken in teacher-directed learning contexts. Student-centred classrooms such as problem-based learning (PBL) approaches are increasingly common in professional disciplines such as the health sciences and medicine. With the globalisation of education, health science and medical education, PBL classrooms are often sites of considerable linguistic and cultural diversity, yet little is known from a classroom discourse perspective about the language demands of PBL. This paper examines the ways in which the students and tutor negotiate and construct meanings through language in one first year physiotherapy PBL tutorial at an Australian university, with a particular focus on the ways in which the discourse is regulated in a student-centred learning environment. The analysis of the classroom discourse is underpinned by Hallidays systemic functional linguistics. The findings provide a description of the linguistic resources students draw on to co-construct and negotiate knowledge, as well as show how the tutor, with minimal strategic interventions, scaffolds the students learning. The findings also suggest that the PBL environment can be a challenging one for students whose cultural and language backgrounds are different from that of the classroom.

Pronominal address in German: rules, anarchy and embarrassment potential

description: Choice of address forms, a socially crucial feature in German communication, is context-dependent on situations (a) where the unmarked form of address is du (T), (b) where it is Sie (V), and (c) where the two systems (a and b) coexist. The first two situations are, apart from their fuzzy edges, rather clearcut. The third situation, however, appears anarchic and has a high embarrassment potential. In an empirical study based on 72 interviews conducted in three regions of the German speaking area, the three prototypical situations are explored. A number of potentially conflicting rules and preferences for ambiguity are isolated. These include individual preferences, network preferences and perceptions of social distance, based on factors such as relative age, emotional closeness of interlocutors, and perceived commonalities between them. In spite of the complex interplay of competing rules and preferences and the consequent embarrassment potential, German speakers appear to reject any imposition from outside of a particular address form. This study is part of a larger, Australian-based project comparing the address systems of French, German and Swedish. Copyright 2006 Heinz L. Kretzenbacher, Michael Clyne and Doris Schpbach.

'Working your words': appraisal in the AFL post-match interview
Creators: name: Caldwell, David
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This paper explores the language used by Australian Football League (AFL) footballers and Australian Broadcast Corporation (ABC) journalists in their post-match interviews broadcast on ABC (774 Melbourne) radio. From Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL), Appraisal is used to investigate the evaluative language expressed by the AFL footballers in their exchanges with ABC journalists. Despite the many applications of linguistics to media discourse, especially within SFL, this research is the first to analyse the language of Australian athletes in their post-match interviews. It is found that irrespective of the result of the game, ABC journalists and AFL footballers maintain a neutral stance by countering expressions of positive Attitude with negative Attitude, as well as employing Graduation and Engagement resources that reduce authorial endorsement. These findings are summarized and discussed, including reference to neutralism from Conversation Analysis. The paper goes on to claim that the tenor between AFL footballers, ABC journalists and the broadcast audience makes it difficult for AFL footballers to express authoritative evaluations. The ultimate aim is to show that AFL footballers do well to negotiate a particularly challenging register. Copyright 2009 David Caldwell.

description: The project evaluated in this report, the Austin Two-Generation Pilot Project, provided English as a Second Language classes three mornings a week in the spring semester 2015 for adults with children enrolled in two different Austin Independent School District sites: Uphaus Early Childhood Center and Linder Elementary school. The project was designed to gain an understanding of the implementation process and participant experience of a two-generation project in Austin, TX to inform future two-generation project development in the region. This two-generation pilot project was evaluated using the following means: a review of student goal setting forms, an interview with the ESL teacher, student surveys and focus group transcripts, a classroom observation, student attendance related to a pre- and post-test of student English literacy skills, and a comparison of the spring semester school attendance of the Uphaus children whose parents participated in the project, to the larger group of Uphaus students. Participants indicated that their primary reason for participating in the program was to help their children with homework and to learn to use a computer for work and finding a job. Parents identified that quality child care services for their younger children were essential to their participation in the program. Parents reported increasing the amount of time they spend reading to their children, listening and talking to their children each day after school, reading the school newsletter, talking with their child’s teacher, and attending parent events. The majority of participants experienced improvements in listening (77%), pronunciation (61%), speaking (61%), and writing (77%) as a result of their participation in the class.

description: RESUMO

A cárie é uma doença multifatorial, que envolve fatores determinantes e modificadores relacionados ao hospedeiro, à dieta e à microbiota em determinado período. Na primeira infância, a cárie pode afetar a qualidade de vida negativamente devido sua rápida evolução e presença de sintomatologia dolorosa. O presente relato objetiva descrever as ações educativas desenvolvidas e apresentar dados coletados por alunos do curso de bacharelado em odontologia da faculdade Gamaliel no PSE do município de Tucuruí/ PA. As estratégias para promoção em saúde bucal no ambiente escolar favorecem o aprendizado, pois as crianças compreendem melhor o que é doença cárie, entendem a necessidade de uma boa higiene oral e do uso do flúor, assim como a importância de visitar regularmente o dentista. A metodologia de teatro narrativo, com auxílio de macromodelos, colabora positivamente na transmissão de informações e esta atividade lúdica desperta nas crianças os cuidados de higiene oral. Desta maneira, o processo educativo é tornar essa troca de conhecimentos e aprendizados, formadores de sujeitos empoderados para a construção do próprio saber.

description: The paper presents preliminary findings of a project which investigated whether learner background, in terms of instruction mode (i.e., school or intensive first-year course at university) and first language (i.e., character based or non-character based), has an impact on the development of writing skills in Japanese as a second language (JSL). Many students in second-year Japanese at university are post-secondary (i.e., they completed Year 12 Japanese at school). They are in class with students who started Japanese at university (i.e., are post-beginners). The intensity of instruction that the two groups have received is very different. A large number of the students learning Japanese at tertiary institutions in Australia are also native speakers of character-based languages (e.g., Chinese). Although there is a substantial volume of studies comparing the effects of instruction mode on L2 development, little is known of how instruction mode and L1 background together may affect L2 development in adult L2 learning settings. The data for the present study include writing samples collected on two occasions from 34 students from a variety of backgrounds. The samples were analysed in terms of length, grammatical complexity and schematic structures, use of kanji (Chinese characters), and vocabulary. The results were compared in terms of study experience and first language. In general, the performance of post-beginner learners from character-based language backgrounds was higher on kanji use and a few other areas, but their superior performance was derived from the interaction of two background factors (L1 and study background). The results show complexity in how different backgrounds affect L2 writing task performance. The study has strong pedagogical implications for teaching a character-based language to students from diverse study backgrounds. Copyright 2009 Noriko Iwashita and Sachiyo Sekiguchi.

description: Background: Direct observation of students with patients is important for assessing clinical skills prior to professional registration. The mini-clinical evaluation exercise (mini-CEX) is established as part of a broad assessment profile. Differences between student and tutor satisfaction, when deploying this assessment through different methods, are not widely explored. This study explored gender bias in osteopathy students and tutors with satisfaction ratings, using the miniCEX via online and paper-based versions. Methods: An online mini-CEX was initially trialled as a posthoc data entry administration tool. Android tablets were then used for online capture of observed clinical practice of students by tutors. Comparison with a paper counterpart over the course of three academic years was undertaken. Influence of gender and assessment capture was analysed using summary, correlation and regression statistics to explore the data in depth. Results: 736 assessments of patient encounters were analysed (550 (75%) online). The influence of paper and online process on satisfaction scores was not significant (odds ratio 1, CI 0.86 – 1.15). Student satisfaction ratings for female students assessed by male tutors indicated lower scores compared to same-sex pairings (P

description: Introduction Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is mandatory for UK physiotherapists and valued internationally. In an increasingly digital age social media may provide a source of up–to-date knowledge and professional development. This study aims to explore impacts of taking part in Physiotalk tweetchats on CPD and professional practice, from participants’ perspectives. Methods Stage 1 involved an online semi-structured focus group through a #physiotalk tweetchat. Questions addressed meaning and use of Physiotalk, influences on participation, and impacts on CPD and practice. Stage 2 enabled people to respond more fully through email or direct messages. Thematic analysis of tweets was undertaken. Results 683 tweets were sent during 75 minutes of discussion between 73 tweeting participants. The tweet analysis resulted in themes that described a tweetchat as enabling social media skill development and engagement, facilitating ring-fenced time and structured interactions. Participants felt that chats focused on topics relevant to practice and generated a supportive, non-hierarchical international community. Participants reported that this virtual environment enabled constructive change at an individual level, such as increased confidence, broadening views and engagement with research and evidence. Conclusions The results of this Twitter focus group demonstrate that where people feel facilitated and welcomed in an online discussion forum, there is great potential for constructive change at many levels. This is, but also goes beyond, CPD for participants. Tweetchats can be promoted as a valid and freely available form of CPD, enabling international viewpoints to be shared. Networks and collaborations formed through these chats can lead to wider constructive change in practice and within the profession. Summary The benefits of tweetchats as a professional development tool should be explored by more individuals and organisations seeking skills development, as well as those trying to overcome barriers to social media engagement by students and qualified professionals

description: Abstract Background There has been a move to increase multidisciplinary working in primary care, driven both by policy changes and by workforce challenges. The perspectives of the General Practitioners have not been widely investigated. Aim The aim of this project was to explore what general practitioners (GPs) understand by ‘multi-disciplinary, primary healthcare team working’ in the current climate. Design, Setting and Methods A descriptive qualitative study, using semi-structured interviews was undertaken to explore the views of six GPs. Transcribed interviews were thematically analysed. Results Analysis of the interviews identified six broad themes. These were: practice team structure and function, GPs’ perceptions of their own role within the team, others’ roles within the team, communication issues, constraints impacting upon change and lastly, relationships with external organisations. Conclusions General practice multidisciplinary teams are at present in a considerable state of flux due to changes in the workforce, with the introduction of new members, notably paramedic practitioners, extended nursing team roles and physician associates. The extension of the team has implications for increasing the supervisory and leadership role of the GP, without GPs necessarily feeling that they have the skill set for extending that role. The transition from providing physician-only care to team care provision, is seen as inevitable, given the work force strictures on general practice, but this study suggests it is not universally welcomed.

description: As consumer awareness of sustainability increases, companies are spending more time and money claiming their products or services are more environmentally friendly than other similar products on the market. However, a substantial number of those claims used for advertising and marketing purposes may be misleading or false. While there are organizations that currently provide environmental claim validation services to increase trust in the green marketplace, the challenges in validation of these environmental claims have not been comprehensively examined. This paper explores three major challenges in validating sustainable products and services: 1) the risk of validating erroneous environmental claims, 2) the difficulty of balancing the trade-offs in multi-attribute environmental claim validations, and 3) the challenge of developing protocols for innovative claims within a reasonable time frame. The authors use three real-world examples – evaluation of a longevity claim (and associated reduced environmental impacts) of a product, development of a multi-attribute standard, and construction of test procedures in the absence of an existing standard. Results demonstrate that validations and certifications by dedicated third parties may effectively improve perceptions of trust in greener product claims. These initial findings aim to inform a variety of policy decision-making and potentially help to lay the foundation for establishing rules and regulations for environmental claims in green markets.
