description: Background: Human immunodeficiency virus and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome had created enormous challenges worldwide, continued to be the world's serious health and development challenge. Globally, at the end 2017, there were 1.8 million children (<15 years) living with human immunodeficiency virus. The goal of antiretroviral therapy is to maintain maximal suppression of viral replication, to restore immune function, to reduce human immunodeficiency virus -related morbidity and mortality, and improve quality of life and prolong survival. The survival of HIV positive children treated with ART depends on a variety of factors, which might vary greatly with economic, socio- demographic, behavioral risk and health factor. Objectives: To assess Survival status and predictors of mortality among human immunodeficiency virus Positive Children on Antiretroviral Therapy at East Gojjam Zone Public hospitals, Amhara Regional State, Ethiopia 2019.Methods: An institution based retrospective cohort study was conducted in selected hospitals of East Gojjam zones among children aged less than 15years who were newly enrolled in human immunodeficiency virus care clinic from January1st 2014 to December 31, 2018. Data was collected using standardized check list. The charts were reviewed during March 1 to 22,2019. Data was entered Epi-Data version 3.1 and then exported to SPSS version 24 for statistical analysis. A Kaplan Meier curve and long rank test were used to estimate the survival time and compare survival curves between variables. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards model was fitted to identify predictors of survival status and variables having p value < 0.05 were considered as statistically significant. Result: In this study, a total of 251 HIV positive children on ART were followed up for a total of 60 months, with a mean (SD) survival time of 55.54(+ 0.83), (95% CI:53.90-57.17) months. The overall mortality incidence rate in the cohort during the 626 Child-year- observation (CYO) was 2.56/100 CYO. Kaplan- estimation Meier survival showed that overall estimated survival probability after starting ART was 0 .90 at 60 months of follow up. In this study age, hemoglobin level, CD4 count, cotrimoxazole preventive therapy (CPT), weight for height were statistically significant predictors of survival status (P <0.05). Conclusion and Recommendation: Age < 5 years, CD4 count, Hgb <10gm/dl, WFH (z<-3), not taking cotrimoxazole preventive therapy were an independent predictor of mortality. Therefore, concerned stakeholders should focus on above mentioned predictors of mortality and nutritional interventions to enhance survival of HIV-infected children on antiretroviral therapy.

description: The observed number of dwarf galaxies as a function of rotation velocity is significantly smaller than predicted by the standard model of cosmology. This discrepancy cannot be simply solved by assuming strong baryonic feedback processes, since they would violate the observed relation between maximum circular velocity ($v_{\rm max}$) and baryon mass of galaxies. A speculative but tantalising possibility is that the mismatch between observation and theory points towards the existence of non-cold or non-collisionless dark matter (DM). In this paper, we investigate the effects of warm, mixed (i.e warm plus cold), and self-interacting DM scenarios on the abundance of dwarf galaxies and the relation between observed HI line-width and maximum circular velocity. Both effects have the potential to alleviate the apparent mismatch between the observed and theoretical abundance of galaxies as a function of $v_{\rm max}$. For the case of warm and mixed DM, we show that the discrepancy disappears, even for luke-warm models that evade stringent bounds from the Lyman-$α$ forest. Self-interacting DM scenarios can also provide a solution as long as they lead to extended ($\gtrsim 1.5$ kpc) dark matter cores in the density profiles of dwarf galaxies. Only models with velocity-dependent cross sections can yield such cores without violating other observational constraints at larger scales.

Abstract
Structural public health: reconsidering the ‘social’ and ‘determinants’ in the social determinants of health
Creators: name: Crammond, Bradley Robert
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: The social determinants of health movement and social epidemiology, the science which underpins it, have become flagship fields in public health for their emphasis upon reducing disadvantage and promoting social justice. With the central aim of reducing health inequalities between social groups, proponents of these approaches advocate for significant (usually government) intervention across most sectors of society. These aims are justified on four interlinking grounds. (1) That epidemiological indicators like income, education and occupation level are determinants (or causes) of good and bad health. (2) That shifting the distribution of these indicators will result in accompanying shifts in health status. (3) That modifying the underlying social structures is a more effective and compassionate approach than making individuals responsible for shifting their behaviours on their own. (4) That making these structural changes contributes to social justice. In this thesis I argue that each of these four propositions is false. (1) Indicators like income and education level show strong associations with health but are homogenisations of widely diverse individuals into constructed categories and therefore do not capture any relevant causal mechanisms. (2) Shifting the distribution of these indicators is likely to have wide-ranging consequences yet the imprecision of causal claims frustrates prediction of intervention effects. (3) Regulating individual behaviour through structural change rather than behavioural interventions is not less disciplinary. The archetypal structural intervention – the introduction of universal sanitation and clean water in mid-nineteenth England – was pursued in order to maintain the productivity of a labour force working under harsh factory conditions. (4) Epidemiological evidence provides a poor basis for a normative theory of social justice, lacking the required consistency across different groups, different illnesses and different times. Social epidemiology provides an interesting description of associations between abstract indicators of status and population health. It does not demonstrate, however, that its relationships are causal or its interventions desirable. Considerably more work is required to establish the proper relationship between structure and health and to show that changes to this structure could be effective and ethical. Some small steps are taken in this direction using Bourdieu’s account of structure as habitus to better understand the interaction between structure and health.

description: Chirally stacked $N$-layer graphene is a semimetal with $\pm p^N$ band-touching at two nonequivalent corners in its Brillioun zone. We predict that an off-resonant circularly polarized light (CPL) drives chirally stacked $N$-layer graphene into a Floquet Chern Insulators (FCIs), a.k.a. quantum anomalous Hall insulators, with tunable high Chern number $C_F=\pm N$ and large gaps. A topological phase transition between such a FCI and a valley Hall (VH) insulator with high valley Chern number $C_v=\pm N$ induced by a voltage gate can be engineered by the parameters of the CPL and voltage gate. We propose a topological domain wall between the FCI and VH phases, along which perfectly valley-polarized $N$-channel edge states propagate unidirectionally without backscattering.
Walking Practices with/in Nature(s) as Ecopedagogy in Outdoor Environmental Education: An Autophenomenographic Study

Year: 2023

description: Submission note: A thesis submitted in total fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy to the School of Education, College of Arts, Social Sciences and Commerce, La Trobe University, Victoria, Australia.

Walking in nature is an integral part of outdoor education in many countries, yet its ecopedagogical qualities and characteristics remain under-researched. Ecopedagogy is an emergent theory and practice in environmental education research. This study sought to (re)discover the sensory and affective dimensions of learning in the outdoors as a walking ecopedagogy. In the context of outdoor education that has centred the human and rendered nature as background only, this study critiqued the patriarchal, instrumental, and commodified orthodoxies of outdoor education. Within this context, the research problem was to interpret and understand the nature of walking as an embodied practice in various scapes of nature. Having the twofold purpose of decentring the human and centring nature, the embodied analysis aimed to place the more-than human at the centre in order to demonstrate an environmentally embedded walking practice as ecopedagogy. The study required a methodology to access the lived and felt, embodied, sensorial and enigmatic qualities of walking in different (land)scapes in nature. An autophenomenographic methodology was used within an eco-phenomenological conceptual frame. In doing so, the research problem was sharpened by disaggregating it into three research questions: ‘What is afforded and felt whilst walking in Nature(s)?’; ‘How and in what ways is (self-)meaning made from an affecting/sensing body whilst walking in Nature(s)?’; and, ‘How and in what ways do inter/intra–acting walking bodies construct relationships with/in various Natures?’ These three questions provided empirical and conceptual ‘layers’ for describing, interpreting and explaining the embodied nature of walking in sampled (land)scapes. The research questions were reassembled to highlight ecopedagogical processes of walking with/in scapes of nature as a practice theory of a walking ecopedagogy. The findings revealed how walking in/as time-space movement is afforded affectively, sensorially and (eco)somaesthetically with/in the sampled scapes of nature. These intersubjective/corporeal inter/intra-actions occurred immanently with/in wider and deeper ecologies. This empirical evidence of the embodied nature of walking in nature advances the theoretical interests of ecophenomenology in outdoor environmental education. In particular, the embodied and ecosomaesthetic qualities of the movement experience of walking with/in nature(s). The findings also contribute to the conceptual, empirical, and methodological development of ecopedagogy in the nascent field of outdoor environmental education.

Linking Light Scalar Modes with A Small Positive Cosmological Constant in String Theory

description: Based on the studies in Type IIB string theory phenomenology, we conjecture that a good fraction of the meta-stable de Sitter vacua in the cosmic stringy landscape tend to have a very small cosmological constant $Λ$ when compared to either the string scale $M_S$ or the Planck scale $M_P$, i.e., $Λ\ll M_S^4 \ll M_P^4$. These low lying de Sitter vacua tend to be accompanied by very light scalar bosons/axions. Here we illustrate this phenomenon with the bosonic mass spectra in a set of Type IIB string theory flux compactification models. We conjecture that small $Λ$ with light bosons is generic among de Sitter solutions in string theory; that is, the smallness of $Λ$ and the existence of very light bosons (may be even the Higgs boson) are results of the statistical preference for such vacua in the landscape. We also discuss a scalar field $ϕ^3/ϕ^4$ model to illustrate how this statistical preference for a small $Λ$ remains when quantum loop corrections are included, thus bypassing the radiative instability problem.

Characterisation of Nelson Bay virus infection
Creators: name: Grimley, Samantha Leigh
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Since 1999, six novel viruses belonging to the Nelson Bay orthoreovirus species group have been described throughout Malaysia and Asia. Four of these viruses were isolated from human patients suffering from acute respiratory disease, the first time that orthoreoviruses have been reported to cause significant disease symptoms in humans. The remaining viruses from this group were isolated from Pteropid bats, and sequence similarity as well as epidemiological evidence suggests that all members Nelson Bay orthoreoviruses originated in Pteropid bats. Nelson Bay virus (NBV) was isolated in Australia in 1968 from the blood of a grey-headed flying fox during routine sampling in New South Wales, Australia. Apart from limited early characterization studies, little is known regarding the host range or pathogenicity of NBV. Due to the unknown nature of this virus and its close genetic relatedness to orthoreoviruses capable of causing disease in humans, this study sought to characterize NBV infection on a broad scale. NBV was purified from cell culture supernatant and the structural proteins identified by mass spectrometry, followed by the development of anti-NBV antisera as biological tools for future assays. NBV infection in vivo was also studied by developing a disease model in Balb/c mice. Although no disease symptoms were observed, a difference in weight change between the experimental groups and the control mice as well as NBV genome isolation from multiple mouse tissues indicated an early systemic infection. NBV infection kinetics were further studied in vitro and compared between a range of cell lines, including recently-developed primary and immortalized lines derived from bat tissues. The cellular changes associated with infection were then studied using confocal and electron microscopy, which found that NBV infection induces numerous morphological changes such as disruption of the cytoskeleton and internal membranous compartments. Dispersal of the Golgi apparatus was observed in all cells except those of bat origin, which may be linked to the attenuation of Golgi function in bat-derived cells during infection. This has previously been shown as a viral immune evasion tactic. Little information is available regarding the induction of apoptosis by orthoreoviruses that cause cell membrane fusion during infection. Therefore the induction of caspase 3 during infection was measured, which showed that apoptosis is induced early during infection in bat cells compared to those of other species. This suggests that rapid apoptosis induction may play an important role during viral infection in bat cells.

The Pathological and Molecular Basis of Anxiety-like Behaviour in the Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis (EAE) Model of Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
Creators: name: Kocovski, Pece
Publisher: name: La Trobe
Year: 2023

description: Submission note: A thesis submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy to the Department of Psychology and Counselling, School of Psychological Science and Public Health, College of Science, Health and Engineering, La Trobe University, Victoria, Australia.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disease of the central nervous system with a neurodegenerative component, affecting principally young adults. Recent evidence has identified emotional and cognitive deficits as primary disease symptoms of MS, rather than psychological consequences of living with a debilitating condition. It is therefore essential to elucidate mechanisms underlying these symptoms, to evaluate the capacity of available treatments to address these disease manifestations or develop novel drugs. Concurrently, over the last decade, the role of platelets as drivers of inflammation has emerged. A key role for platelets in neuroinflammation was previously demonstrated by our laboratory in murine experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), the most accepted MS model. In this thesis, the hypothesis that platelets play an early and critical role in the development of anxiety-like behaviour was investigated. Experimentation was based on the elevated plus maze (EPM) test, a validated test of mouse anxiety-like behavior, in EAE and evaluation of platelet-related inflammatory changes in the hippocampus, a region associated with emotion, cognition and memory. Firstly, optimization of mouse strain and route of drug delivery was performed. Second, early platelet invasion of the hippocampus was identified and platelet depletion was demonstrated to be effective in reducing anxiety-like behavior in EAE. This was confirmed by molecular, and quantitative confocal microscopic analyses. Third, it was shown that immunomodulation has no beneficial effect on anxiety-like behavior, despite effective reduction of the inflammatory environment in the hippocampus. This was also confirmed by molecular and confocal microscopic analyses. These data reveal the contrasting effects of platelet targeting versus targeting of autoreactive T cells in autoimmunity. Therefore, these studies provide proof-of-concept for a direct role for platelets in hippocampal damage and platelet targeting as a novel therapeutic approach for emotional and cognitive deficits in MS.

The role of fat mass on the development of secondary diseases; specifically the impact of elevated leptin concentration on the development of hypertension
Creators: name: Simonds, Stephanie Elise
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Obesity and the excessive accumulation of body fat is associated with significant chronic secondary diseases including, cardiovascular diseases, cancers and diabetes. Obesity and its associated diseases are becoming huge economic and social problems, due to the number of people being affected and the personal, social and economic costs for their care. Both developed and developing nations are affected. In recent years a number of obesity therapeutics have made it to market and these appear to reduce the body weight associated with obesity, however their effectiveness chronically and in reducing secondary diseases maybe limited. Hence there is a need to mechanically understand the physiology behind the development of both obesity and the secondary diseases developing in obesity so that effective therapies can be created. Cardiovascular diseases are the number 1 cause of death globally and have been since the 1970s. Hypertension and obesity are both significant risk factors in the development of CVDs. Together hypertension and obesity act to increase the risk of CVDs. While the association that obesity leads to hypertension and CVDs has been ascertained, physiologically how this occurs is not understood. However, leptin an adipose derived hormone is a likely candidate. Leptin is secreted from adipose tissue in proportion to the amount of adipose tissue an animal possesses. Hence in obesity plasma leptin levels are substantially elevated. Leptin acts in the hypothalamus and physiologically causes a decrease in food intake while stimulating energy expenditure, via the SNS. This thesis addresses the adverse actions obesity has on metabolic diseases, and specifically the role leptin has on cardiovascular regulation.

description: Interest in biomass as a renewable energy source in Ethiopia has increased recently in response to a need to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and to attain a green economy on 2025. The main objective of this study was to co-pelletize sawdust mixed with sewage sludge as an alternative fuel for clinker production. All the necessary analysis that defines alternative fuels including complete oxide analysis were carried out following standard procedures for both the raw materials and the mixed pellet and the results were compared with hard coal. In addition, thermogravimetric analysis and heavy metal concentration of the mixed pellet were examined in order to investigate the combustion characteristics of the fuel and the presence of trace elements respectively. Effects of particle size and percentage ratio of the mixture were also analyzed in the range of 0.045-0.18mm and varying percentage ratio of 50 sawdust:50 sewage sludge(%), 60:40(%), 70:30(%), 80:20(%) and 90:10(%) respectively in order to examine the effects of these two parameters on the mixed pellet calorific value using design expert software. The results of the study showed that sawdust was a very attractive source of energy and was found to be a good material to enhance the property of the sewage sludge and to be utilized as alternative fuel. A medium grade fuel of calorific value 19.20MJ/kg was obtained at an average particle size of 0.125mm and sawdust to sludge percentage of 90% and 10% respectively.

description: Although high-sensitivity surveys have revealed a number of highly dispersed pulsars in the inner Galaxy, none have so far been found in the Galactic centre (GC) region, which we define to be within a projected distance of 1~pc from Sgr~A*. This null result is surprising given that several independent lines of evidence predict a sizable population of neutron stars in the region. Here, we present a detailed analysis of both the canonical and millisecond pulsar populations in the GC and consider free-free absorption and multi-path scattering to be the two main sources of flux density mitigation. We demonstrate that the sensitivity limits of previous surveys are not sufficient to detect GC pulsar population, and investigate the optimum observing frequency for future surveys. Depending on the degree of scattering and free-free absorption in the GC, current surveys constrain the size of the potentially observable population (i.e.~those beaming towards us) to be up to 52 canonical pulsars and 10000 millisecond pulsars. We find that the optimum frequency for future surveys is in the range of 9--13~GHz. We also predict that future deeper surveys with the Square Kilometer array will probe a significant portion of the existing radio pulsar population in the GC.

A Positive Operator-Valued Measure for an Iterated Function System
Creators: name: Davison, Trubee
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Functional Analysis (math.FA)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: Given an iterated function system (IFS) on a complete and separable metric space $Y$, there exists a unique compact subset $X \subseteq Y$ satisfying a fixed point relation with respect to the IFS. This subset is called the attractor set, or fractal set, associated to the IFS. The attractor set supports a specific Borel probability measure, called the Hutchinson measure, which itself satisfies a fixed point relation. P. Jorgensen generalized the Hutchinson measure to a projection-valued measure, under the assumption that the IFS does not have essential overlap. In previous work, we developed an alternative approach to proving the existence of this projection-valued measure. The situation when the IFS exhibits essential overlap has been studied by Jorgensen and colleagues in. We build off their work to generalize the Hutchinson measure to a positive-operator valued measure for an arbitrary IFS, that may exhibit essential overlap. This work hinges on using a generalized Kantorovich metric to define a distance between positive operator-valued measures. It is noteworthy to mention that this generalized metric, which we use in our previous work as well, was also introduced by R.F. Werner to study the position and momentum observables, which are central objects of study in the area of quantum theory. We conclude with a discussion of Naimark's dilation theorem with respect to this positive operator-valued measure, and at the beginning of the paper, we prove a metric space completion result regarding the classical Kantorovich metric.

Mechanisms of T cell recruitment in dermal inflammation
Creators: name: Abeynaike, Latasha
Publisher: name: Monash University

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: T cells are a vital component of the skin inflammatory response. In common inflammatory skin diseases such as dermatitis and psoriasis, the presence of T cells has been highly associated with disease. However, while most T cells are proinflammatory, a small population of T cells, known as regulatory T cells, function to regulate the inflammatory response. Studies have shown that these cells must have the capacity to home to the skin to exert their effects. The process by which these cells enter the site of inflammation from the circulation is leukocyte recruitment, and involves the steps rolling, adhesion and transendothelial migration. While these processes are well-defined for leukocytes in general, few studies have examined endogenous T cells in the microvasculature of the skin, due to the difficulty in visualising these low frequency populations. In addition, it is unknown whether the different types of T cells have different recruitment mechanisms. Similarly, the molecular basis of these interactions is poorly understood. Understanding the involvement of specific adhesion molecules in the recruitment of different T cell subsets could be the key to the development of successful novel therapies. Therefore, the aim of this project was to identify the mechanisms of recruitment of T cell subsets, particularly comparing proinflammatory T cells with anti-inflammatory regulatory T cells, during a skin inflammatory response. This project utilised the mouse contact sensitivity (CS) model and modern imaging techniques to visualise rolling, adhesion and transendothelial migration of rare, endogenous T cell subsets in the inflamed dermal microvasculature. In summary, the experiments presented in this thesis have provided novel information regarding T cell subset recruitment to the skin during contact sensitivity.
Managing Workplace Flexibility in the Australian Public Sector: Two Local Government Case Studies
Creators: name: Montesano, Maria
Publisher: name: La Trobe
Year: 2023

description: Submission note: A thesis submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy to the Department of Management, La Trobe Business School, College of Arts, Social Sciences and Commerce, La Trobe University, Victoria, Australia.

Work-life research has exploded over the past five decades due to shifts in social, economic, technological and political contexts. This dynamic environment has forged new, normative landscapes in which we live, transforming the fabric of our society and spawning serious problems, characterised as work-life ‘conflict’ or ‘interference’. This has been linked with stress, psychological and physiological illnesses, as well as a disengaged workforce. Consequently, workplace flexibility has become an intrinsic imperative for the modern organisation and its employees as a mechanism for preventing or assuaging these issues. However, signs indicate that organisations are experiencing problems in operationalising workplace flexibility, with scant research explaining what factors support or impede its implementation and use. This highlights a gap in extant literature, particularly within the Australian context. Occupying an array of scholarly disciplines, workplace flexibility has disproportionally centered upon its antecedents and consequences, focusing upon the employee perspective, or the organisational perspective. This divisive lens does not reflect the complexity of the issue, which is influenced by a broader spectrum of elements, including the institutional environment, organisational environment, management practice and employee factors. Moreover, there is a paucity of theoretical frameworks that suitably ground this domain. This dissertation addresses this gap by conflating two existent theoretical frames, Institutional Theory and Ecological Systems Theory, to provide a multi-level, integrated examination to elucidate how these various constituents interconnect and influence each other. Developed as a process model, the Eco Institutional model highlights the interrelationships between each level. Adopting a case study approach, applying mixed methods, the thesis examines workplace flexibility within two Victorian Local Government Councils in Australia. Seeking to understand how workplace flexibility is successfully operationalised by these councils, it focuses on identifying the factors that support and impede implementation and utilisation. The findings suggest that while structural support is provided by the organisation through policies and employee agreements, greater facilitation or training is needed to ensure consistency in implementation by managers and equity of access and utilisation by employees.

description: We point out a selection rule for enhancement (suppression) of odd (even) partial waves of dark matter coannihilation or annihilation using Sommerfeld effect. Using this, the usually velocity-suppressed p-wave annihilation can dominate the annihilation signals in the present Universe. The selection mechanism is a manifestation of the exchange symmetry of identical incoming particles, and generic for multi-state DM with off-diagonal long-range interactions. As a consequence, the relic and late-time annihilation rates are parametrically different and a distinctive phenomenology, with large but strongly velocity-dependent annihilation rates, is predicted.
