description: The annual management of 67 million tonnes of waste and recycling streams poses significant environmental pollution and regulatory challenges to Australian governments. While the Australian government has carriage of waste and recycling policy and coordination, operational aspects rest with state-territory and local governments. This research examined stakeholder perspectives and, while lacking in individual and community client data inputs, exposed regulatory limitations, waste and recycling problems and issues, and forward trajectories for waste policies and programs. Regulatory pluralism theory served as the study’s lens, showing that the rapid rise in waste production and reduced waste transfers to China will require a composite of improved waste regulations, landfill and waste handling management practices; additional recycling behaviour modification incentives; and domestic and international waste and recyclate markets development. In addition, the analysis highlighted the important leadership role for the federal tier of waste governance in product stewardship reform, and the advancement of waste and recycling infrastructure development under new national cabinet and federal reform arrangements. Importantly, from the theory perspective, the research built into the cumulative tradition of pluralistic regulatory systems development.

description: Sexting as a common adolescent behavior might me related with difficulties of emotion regulation, a skillset that draws on identifying the relationship between behaviors and emotions and then creating strategies for regulating such emotions. The aim of this study was to explore the relation between sexting and emotional regulation strategies. The study involved 440 respondents, aged 18 to 25. Emotion Regulation Questionnaire was used to measure emotional regulation strategies (cognitive reappraisal and expressive suppression). Sexting Behaviors Scale was used to assess the frequency of receiving, sending and posting sexually suggestive or provocative texts, photos or videos. Result showed that boys use the strategy of expressive suppression more intense than girls. Statistically significant low correlation was found between posting sexually suggestive content and cognitive reappraisal. Furthermore, gender has been found to be a significant predictor of engagement in the activity of sexting behavior.  The results suggest that exchange of sexually suggestive content among youth, which shows low incidence, cannot be defined as an indicator of difficulties in emotional regulation.

description: Background: Adolescence is a critical transition phase in the life of an individual to be independent and to mould their own identity. Family dynamic is the most influential factor in adolescent mental health. Objectives. This research aimed to analyse the differences of family values, psychological distress and its associated finadolescents living in a long-term residential care as compared to adolescents in an ordinary school.Method: A cross-sectional study was carried out with 150 respondents using clustered random sampling. The Asian Family Characteristics Scale was used to assess the family values. The Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale was used to measure the mental state of the respondents.Results: Children in long-term residential care showed significantly lower family values in all domains and higher in levels of stress, anxiety, depression. Findings show that there is significant association between psychological distress and family values.Conclusion: Family dynamic has a strong ramification to behavioural and psychological aspects of adolescents. Preventive measures and policy maker should be advocated in order to minimize psychological problems among adolescence in this country.

Large ferroelectric polarization in the new double perovskite NaLaMnWO$_{6}$ induced by non-polar instabilities

description: Based on density functional theory calculations and group theoretical analysis, we have studied NaLaMnWO$_{6}$ compound which has been recently synthesized [Phys. Rev. B 79, 224428 (2009)] and belongs to the $AA'BB'{\rm O}_{6}$ family of double perovskites. At low temperature, the structure has monoclinic $P2_{1}$ symmetry, with layered ordering of the Na and La ions and rocksalt ordering of Mn and W ions. The Mn atoms show an antiferromagnetic (AFM) collinear spin ordering, and the compound has been reported as a potential multiferroic. By comparing the low symmetry structure with a parent phase of $P4/nmm$ symmetry, two distortion modes are found dominant. They correspond to MnO$_{6}$ and WO$_{6}$ octahedron \textit{tilt} modes, often found in many simple perovskites. While in the latter these common tilting instabilities yield non-polar phases, in NaLaMnWO$_{6}$ the additional presence of the $A$-$A^{'}$ cation ordering is sufficient to make these rigid unit modes as a source of the ferroelectricity. Through a trilinear coupling with the two unstable tilting modes, a significant polar distortion is induced, although the system has no intrinsic polar instability. The calculated electric polarization resulting from this polar distortion is as large as $\sim$ 16 $μ{\rm C/cm^{2}}$. Despite its secondary character, this polarization is coupled with the dominant tilting modes and its switching is bound to produce the switching of one of two tilts, enhancing in this way a possible interaction with the magnetic ordering. The transformation of common non-polar purely steric instabilities into sources of ferroelectricity through a controlled modification of the parent structure, as done here by the cation ordering, is a phenomenon to be further explored.

description: Who am I: The Tale of Dorothy (WAI) is the first videogame ever that addresses the treatment of an individual suffering from dissociative identity disorder (DID). WAI describes the life and internal experience of a 14-year-old girl named Dorothy who suffers from DID. The goal of this videogame is to integrate all Dorothy’s dissociated identities. Notably, several symptoms of DID are correctly portrayed in the game, such as identity confusion, identity alteration, amnesia, and psychotic-like experiences. Furthermore, WAI identifies the developmental origins of DID in the individual’s exposure to severe traumatic experiences in the attachment relationships during childhood, which is consistent with current empirical evidence on the developmental precursors of the disorder. Therefore, WAI may represent an innovative possibility for illustrating the main features of DID to gamers, students, and lay people. Accordingly, playing WAI can have important educational implications, as it  might serve to reduce mental stigma toward people suffering from DID.

description: In the last few years, an increasing number of studies have investigated the Self-harming behaviours, particularly widespread among young women, and the development of websites relating to Self-harm, in which the users are most often females. From a psychodynamic perspective, this article aims at identifying the most prevalent topics shared in blogs written by young people who Self-harm, in order to understand their experiences of suffering. We performed a thematic analysis of 70 Italian blogs relating to Self-harming behaviours. From our analysis all the blogs were declined in the feminine. Four thematic clusters were found: troubled relationships with the Other; the hidden Self; loneliness, hate and guilt: the melancholic emotions; the Self-harming act. Some specific functions of Self-harm blogs emerged: they can be a mean for self-disclosure and for emotion regulation. They are also spaces where young women meet to share their pain and offer and find support. Clinical implications for blogs as a place for illness narratives will be discussed.

description: Using molecular dynamics simulations we study the slow dynamics of a colloidal fluid annealed within a matrix of obstacles quenched from an equilibrated colloidal fluid. We choose all particles to be of the same size and to interact as hard spheres, thus retaining all features of the porous confinement while limiting the control parameters to the packing fraction of the matrix, Φm, and that of the fluid, Φf. We conduct detailed investigations on several dynamic properties, including the tagged-particle and collective intermediate scattering functions, the mean-squared displacement, and the van Hove function. We show the confining obstacles to profoundly impact the relaxation pattern of various quantifiers pertinent to the fluid. Varying the type of quantifier (tagged-particle or collective) as well as Φm and Φf, we unveil both discontinuous and continuous arrest scenarios. Furthermore, we discover subdiffusive behavior and demonstrate its close connection to the matrix structure. Our findings partly confirm the various predictions of a recent extension of mode-coupling theory to the quenched-annealed protocol.

description: The Suppression Mental Questionnaire System (mobile App, Web-Services, Cloud...) acts as a bridge among dynamic psychology, the cognitive studies, and modern information and telecommunication technologies (ICT). The adoption of digital tools speeds clinical investigations on defense mechanisms and makes clinical trials easier by reducing needed effort for manual scoring. It also enables faster and deeper research practices, also more appropriate to the times by enabling the real-time transfer of the results to digital archives  for statistical and psychometrical purposes. Reliability of the scale was evaluated by using Cronbach's alpha; this numerical coefficient of reliability was calculated for the three factors and for the two psychodiagnostic tools. The digital tool melts together scalability and availability provided by the mobile application, power and flexibility provided by Web 2.0 portal. The statistical analysis show a good reliability of the scale and of different factors. Differences related to the factors are considered possible on the basis of the current literature.Mobile Operating Systems, Internet, Web 2.0, and the considerable computing capabilities provided by Clouds are powerful combinations of tools able to provide real-time Open Data/Results to scientists and users, and to spread up the use of the questionnaire all over the world.

The role of asymmetric interactions on the effect of habitat destruction in mutualistic networks

description: Plant-pollinator mutualistic networks are asymmetric in their interactions: specialist plants are pollinated by generalist animals, while generalist plants are pollinated by a broad involving specialists and generalists. It has been suggested that this asymmetric ---or disassortative--- assemblage could play an important role in determining the equal susceptibility of specialist and generalist plants under habitat destruction. At the core of the argument lies the observation that specialist plants, otherwise candidates to extinction, could cope with the disruption thanks to their interaction with generalist pollinators. We present a theoretical framework that supports this thesis. We analyze a dynamical model of a system of mutualistic plants and pollinators, subject to the destruction of their habitat. We analyze and compare two families of interaction topologies, ranging from highly assortative to highly disassortative ones, as well as real pollination networks. We found that several features observed in natural systems are predicted by the mathematical model. First, there is a tendency to increase the asymmetry of the network as a result of the extinctions. Second, an entropy measure of the differential susceptibility to extinction of specialist and generalist species show that they tend to balance when the network is disassortative. Finally, the disappearance of links in the network, as a result of extinctions, shows that specialist plants preserve more connections than the corresponding plants in an assortative system, enabling them to resist the disruption.

Parallel locality sensitive hashing for network discovery from time series
Creators: name: Sodol, Svetlana
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: Similarity operations on time series are a vital area in data mining research. Science and systems applications require a scalable solution that is fast enough to work with streaming of real data and provide reliable results in the presence of noise, high dimensionality and time dependency. Locality sensitive hashing (LSH) has shown advancement in limiting the number of comparisons required for similarity operations, thus reducing the overall time, by pre-processing the data into buckets as candidates for approximate nearest neighbours. This thesis proposes a scalable system based on locality sensitive hashing by implementing it in parallel with independent hash functions. The parallel system we present is implemented in a message-passing framework for four locality sensitive hashing methods – minhash, approximate binary correlation (ABC), symbolic aggregate approximation (SAX), and ``sketch, shingle and hash" (SSH), each with its own pre-processing, hash creation, and similarity measure. A preliminary investigation implements minhash with a bag-of-words representation of text data to validate our proposed framework. The experimental part of the thesis focuses on comparing the other three LSH methods (ABC, SAX, SSH) on a real flight data set processed in a streaming fashion, flexible to the size of the time series used. The output of our parallel system is a similarity network discovered from the data, that we use to detect an anomaly present in the data set. The LSH methods are evaluated with respect to the time of execution, amount of communication, computation complexity, tuning of parameters and the required number of similarity operations. Our results indicate the feasibility of the implemented methods and proposed framework for this type of application and this sort of real-life time series. Our thesis concludes with discussion of the impact of the similarity measures on the network discovery results, as well as proposing further investigations into other parts of the parameter space.

description: Metro plays an important role in society. Cities are expanding and there is a division of the city into industrial zones, residential areas, administrative and shopping centers. This inevitably leads the population to an increased need for movement around the city. In cities of over one million people, ground transportation is far from the most convenient way to travel. The structure of the underground transport eliminates the possibility of falling into a traffic jam and helps the modern person to arrive at the designated place without delay.

description: Motivated by a recent work of one of us [1], we extend it by using quantum (or entropy) corrected new agegraphic dark energy in the Brans-Dicke cosmology. The correction terms are motivated from the loop quantum gravity which is one of the competitive theories of quantum gravity. Taking the non-flat background spacetime along with the conformal age of the universe as the length scale, we derive the dynamical equation of state of dark energy and the deceleration parameter. An important consequence of this study is the phantom divide scenario with entropy-corrected new agegraphic dark energy. Moreover, we assume a system of dark matter, radiation and dark energy, while the later interacts only with dark matter. We obtain some essential expressions related with dark energy dynamics. The cosmic coincidence problem is also resolved in our model.

description: The problem of discriminating possible scenarios of TeV scale new physics with large missing energy signature at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has received some attention in the recent past. We consider the complementary, and yet unexplored, case of theories predicting much softer missing energy spectra. As there is enough scope for such models to fake each other by having similar final states at the LHC, we have outlined a systematic method based on a combination of different kinematic features which can be used to distinguish among different possibilities. These features often trace back to the underlying mass spectrum and the spins of the new particles present in these models. As examples of "low missing energy look-alikes", we consider Supersymmetry with R-parity violation, Universal Extra Dimensions with both KK-parity conserved and KK-parity violated and the Littlest Higgs model with T-parity violated by the Wess-Zumino-Witten anomaly term. Through detailed Monte Carlo analysis of the four and higher lepton final states predicted by these models, we show that the models in their minimal forms may be distinguished at the LHC, while non-minimal variations can always leave scope for further confusion. We find that, for strongly interacting new particle mass-scale ~600 GeV (1 TeV), the simplest versions of the different theories can be discriminated at the LHC running at sqrt{s}=14 TeV within an integrated luminosity of 5 (30) fb^{-1}.

title: Development of agro-wastes based unfired earth blocks to improve indoor thermal comfort in tropics
Creators: name: Jannat, N
Publisher: name: Liverpool John Moores University
Year: 2023

description: This research aims to develop agro-waste based unfired earth blocks that are suitable for tropical climate. The samples were produced using eggshell (10, 20, 30, 40, and 50wt.%), sawdust (2.5, 5, 7.5, and 10wt.%), coconut husk (2.5, 5, 7.5, and 10wt.%), and walnut shell (5, 10, 15, and 20wt.%) separately and in combination. In this study, several physico-mechanical, durability, and thermal properties tests were conducted. Moreover, numerical computer simulation analyses on the thermal performance of the developed materials were performed. Additionally, the effect of three different particle sizes of sawdust (212 μm ‹ x ‹ 300 μm, 425 μm ‹ x ‹ 600 μm, and 1.18 mm ‹ x ‹ 2.00 mm) was investigated. The results of physico-mechanical properties tests showed that the density of the samples gradually decreased with increasing agro-wastes percentages in the mixture. Besides, eggshell and walnut shell addition reduced the linear shrinkage and capillary water absorption, whereas finer sawdust particles and coconut husk incorporation increased both. The individual inclusion of eggshell, sawdust, and coconut husk improved the strength of clay blocks; however, walnut shell had a negative impact on the strength. On the other hand, combining eggshell with other agro-wastes did not contribute to improving the strength. The highest compressive strength (CS) and flexural strength (FS) of air-dried samples were obtained when 40% eggshell (CS: 5.68 MPa, FS: 2.24 MPa), 2.5% coconut husk (CS: 4.78 MPa, FS: 2.14 MPa), and 2.5% sawdust (CS: 4.74 MPa, FS: 2.00 MPa) were individually used. The compressive strength of eggshell, coconut husk, and sawdust samples improved by around 40%, 18%, and 17%, respectively, while the flexural strength enhanced about 47%, 41%, and 32% over the reference sample. The investigation of durability tests revealed that when agro-wastes were added, erosion resistance improved compared to the reference sample. According to the thermal properties tests, thermal conductivity and volumetric heat capacity decreased with the addition of agro-wastes. The lowest conductivity was obtained for the 10% coconut husk sample (0.172 W/mK), followed by the 10% sawdust (0.185 W/mK) and the 50% eggshell (0.299 W/mK) samples. Furthermore, in the wall scale test, the sample walls made of coconut husk, sawdust, and eggshell outperformed the reference sample wall in terms of thermal resistance, with improvements of around 48%, 35%, and 16%, respectively. This result was also supported by the numerical thermal simulation analyses, where the findings showed that coconut husk wall construction had a relatively lower (14.90 MWh) yearly energy consumption than sawdust (15.10 MWh), eggshell (17.70 MWh), and reference (18.90 MWh) walls. The overall findings of this study suggest that the incorporation of agro-wastes into clay blocks improved their properties, making them suitable for use as building construction material.

description: For the minimal graph with strict convex level sets, we find an auxiliary function to study the Gaussian curvature of the level sets. We prove that this curvature function is a concave function with respect to the height of the minimal surface while this auxiliary function is almost sharp when the minimal surface is the Catenoid.

description: In this work, we consider the cosmological constraints on the interacting dark energy models. We generalize the models considered previously by Guo {\it et al.}, Costa and Alcaniz, and try to discuss two general types of models: type I models are characterized by $ρ_{_X}/ρ_m=f(a)$ and $f(a)$ can be any function of scale factor $a$, whereas type II models are characterized by $ρ_m=ρ_{m0}\,a^{-3+ε(a)}$ and $ε(a)$ can be any function of $a$. We obtain the cosmological constraints on the type I and II models with power-law, CPL-like, logarithmic $f(a)$ and $ε(a)$ by using the latest observational data.

description: The compound 1-O-methyl chrysophanol (OMC) which belongs to a class of hydroxyanthraquinones was isolated from Amycolatopsis thermoflava strain SFMA-103 and studied for their anti-diabetic properties. OMC was evaluated as an anti-diabetic agent based on in silico studies which initially predicted the binding energy with α-amylase (−188.81 KJ mol−1) and with α-glucosidase (70.53 KJ mol−1). Further, these results were validated based on enzyme inhibition assays where OMC demonstrated enzyme inhibitory activity towards α-amylase (IC50 3.4 mg mL−1) and α-glucosidase (IC50 38.49 μg mL−1). To confirm the anti-diabetic activity, in vivo studies (oral dose in Wistar rats) revealed that OMC inhibited significantly the increase in glucose concentration at 100 mg/kg as compared to starch control (p in vitro Chinese Hamster Ovary cells (250, 500, and 1000 µM/mL) and in vivo Swiss albino mice (250, 500, and 1000 mg/kg). In vitro results showed that OMC concentration of up to 250 µM/mL did not elicit significant changes in CAs, MI, and MN counts in CHO cells. Similarly, in mice experiments (i.p. injection), no significant changes in CAs, MI, and MN induction were observed till 500 mg/kg of OMC when compared with chrysophanic acid (Cy) (200 mg/kg). In addition, mice that received the lowest dose of OMC (250 mg/kg) did not show any histological changes in liver, kidney, and heart. The study concluded that five times higher therapeutic dose (100 mg/kg) of OMC can be utilized against hyperglycemia with no genotoxic effects.
Sensor fusion for predictive control of human-prosthesis-environment dynamics in assistive walking
Creators: name: Zhang, Kuangen
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: Powered prostheses are effective for helping amputees walk on level ground, but these devices are inconvenient to use in complex environments. To address the above issue, the present thesis develops a sensor fusion system in a complete human-prosthesis-environment loop to recognize the environmental context, predict the motion intent of different subjects, and control the motion of the prosthesis. There are challenges for realizing this objective: 1. Complex information in the prosthesis-environment loop. 2. User-dependent and subjective information in the human-prosthesis loop. 3. Noisy decisions. 4. Disconnected neural system of the user. 5. Infeasibility of continuous control. 6. No accommodation of navigation in rough terrains. To resolve the mentioned problems, the present thesis develops several methods. First, the present thesis designs a vision-motion sensor fusion system and a side-view convolutional neural network, to recognize the environmental context. To resolve the user-dependent issue, the present thesis proposes an unsupervised cross-subject adaptation method to recognize the locomotion intent for target subjects at 95% accuracy even if the associated data are not labeled. Then the thesis fuses the sequential decisions based on a hidden Markov model to smooth the decisions. Next, the thesis fuses the sensing and control system of the prosthesis to control the powered prosthesis predictively. To improve the authority of the prosthesis user, the present thesis studies two more challenging areas: 1) Transformation from discrete-state control to continuous-phase control. The present thesis estimates the gait phase of human locomotion in complex terrains with 80% lower error than traditional methods; 2) Transformation from structured terrains to rough terrains. The thesis fuses sequential 3D gaze and the environmental context to predict the foot placements of the wearer in rough terrains. The developed methodology is implemented in a physical prototype, and the performance is validated using both computer simulation and experimentation. The developed system and algorithms can recognize the environmental context and predict the motion intent of different amputee users accurately (at an accuracy = 97%) and efficiently (computing time < 30 ms), which can predictively control the prosthesis to assist the wearer to walk in complex environments more conveniently and smoothly.

description: Pharmaceutical residues are present in the environment in mixtures and their adverse effects may also result from interactions that occur between compounds. Studies presented in this work focus on genotoxicity of pharmaceuticals from different therapeutic groups in mixtures and in individual solutions impacted with different environmental conditions assessed using comet assay (alkaline approach). Binary mixtures of pharmaceuticals (in different concentration ratios) and in individual solutions impacted with pH change (range from 5.5 to 8.5) or addition of inorganic ions, were incubated with HT29 cells and after 24 h time period cells were tested for the presence of DNA damage. To estimate whether mixtures act more (synergistic) or less (antagonistic) efficiently Concentrations Addition (CA) and Independent Action (IA) approaches were applied followed by a calculation of the Model Deviation Ratio (MDR) to determine deviation from the predicted values. Addition of inorganic ions mainly reduced their genotoxicity. Diclofenac s. was the most susceptible to potassium, fluoride, and bromide ions. Change of the pH of pharmaceutical solutions had significant impact on genotoxicity of diclofenac s. and fluoxetine h. Among mixtures, more commonly observed interactions were synergistic ones, exactly twenty-five cases (ten pairs containing chloramphenicol or oxytetracycline h.) and ten cases of antagonism (four for pairs containing chloramphenicol or fluoxetine h.). The results obtained indicate that interactions between tested compounds occur frequently and can lead to DNA damage. This topic especially concerning in vitro tests using cells is still rare, however, it should not be neglected.

description: To evaluate the internal consistency and factor structure of the Italian translation of the 12-item International Trauma Questionnaire (ITQ), 382 trauma-exposed and 366 non-trauma exposed Italian community-dwelling Italian adults from a total group of 748 volunteers completed the ITQ. The ITQ Post-traumatic Stress Disorder and Disorder of Self-Organization scales showed adequate Cronbach’s as in both trauma-exposed and non-trauma-exposed participants. Confirmatory factor analyses showed that the a priori model of item-to-scale assignment of the ITQ items was consistently reproduced in both trauma-exposed and non-trauma-exposed participants, even when measurement invariance was formally assessed. Finally, taxometric analyses showed that the latent distribution of the six ITQ PTSD symptom items should be conceived as a latent dimension rather than a categorical latent construct. As a whole, our findings supported to the cross-cultural validity of the ITQ while extending its clinical usefulness.

description: The search for tacrine derivatives, as potential Alzheimer´s disease treatment, is still being at the forefront of scientific efforts. 7-MEOTA was found to be a potent, centrally active acetylcholinesterase inhibitor free of the serious side effects observed for tacrine. Unfortunately, a relevant argumentation about pharmacokinetics and potential toxicity is incomplete; information about tacrine derivatives absorption and especially CNS penetration are still rare as well as detailed toxicological profile in vivo. Although the structural changes between these compounds are not so distinctive, differences in plasma profile and CNS targeting were found. The maximum plasma concentration were attained at 18th min (tacrine; 38.20 ± 3.91 ng/ml and 7-MEOTA; 88.22 ± 15.19 ng/ml) after i.m. application in rats. Although the brain profiles seem to be similar; tacrine achieved 19.34 ± 0.71 ng/ml in 27 min and 7-MEOTA 15.80 ± 1.13 ng/ml in 22 min; the tacrine Kp (AUCbrain/AUCplasma) fit 1.20 and was significantly higher than 7-MEOTA Kp 0.10. Administration of tacrine and 7-MEOTA showed only mild elevation of some biochemical markers following single p.o. application in 24 hours and 7 days. Also histopathology revealed only mild-to-moderate changes following repeated p.o. administration for 14 days. It seems that small change in tacrine molecule leads to lower ability to penetrate through the biological barriers. The explanation that lower p.o. acute toxicity of 7-MEOTA depends only on differences in metabolic pathways may be now revised to newly described differences in pharmacokinetic and toxicological profiles.
