Making a life from the margins: The oblique art of Barbara Pym.
Creators: name: Paryas, Phyllis Margaret.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1992
Subjects: subject: Literature, English.

description: This study examines the grounds of dissonance in the comic novels of Barbara Pym (1913-1980) from a pluralist critical perspective. Pym's restrained and indirect style is considered as a manifestation of the marginal positioning of a middle-class woman writer within the specific cultural milieu of pre- and post-war Britain. Structuralist, post-formalist and feminist criticism are utilized in an attempt to shed light on the contradictory forces discernible in her subtle prose. Six books were published between 1950 and 1961, followed by her publisher's rejection of a seventh novel in 1963. Pym's career was eclipsed for sixteen years but she was rediscovered in 1977, enabling three additional novels to be published before her death in 1980. Four complete novels, along with three finished short stories and three novel drafts, have been printed posthumously. The introduction provides an overview of the common preoccupation of Pym criticism to date with the ambiguities and tensions in her work. Chapter One presents the argument for a pluralist approach and discusses scholars whose work illuminates Pym's style. These include Northrop Frye, M. M. Bakhtin, Frank Kermode and anthropologists Edwin and Shirley Ardener. Anglo-American critics Elaine Showalter, Nancy K. Miller and Rachel Blau DuPlessis, among others, contribute a feminist perspective. The remaining four chapters explore the language of Pym's protagonists, the characterization of her "excellent women," the fruitfulness of applying dialogic analysis to her prose, and the revisions of plot teleology which she initiates. Pym finally is seen as an essentially optimistic but divided woman writer negotiating painful compromises for her marginal comic heroines within the formidable constraints of the dominant culture.

description: The ability to make evidence-based decisions, and hence to reason on questions concerning scientific and societal aspects, is a crucial goal in science education and science communication. However, science denial poses a constant challenge for society and education. Controversial science issues (CSI) encompass scientific knowledge rejected by the public as well as socioscientific issues, i.e., societal issues grounded in science that are frequently applied to science education. Generating evidence-based justifications for claims is central in scientific and informal reasoning. This study aims to describe attitudes and their justifications within the argumentations of a random online sample (N = 398) when reasoning informally on selected CSI. Following a deductive-inductive approach and qualitative content analysis of written open-ended answers, we identified five types of justifications based on a fine-grained category system. The results suggest a topic-specificity of justifications referring to specific scientific data, while justifications appealing to authorities tend to be common across topics. Subjective, and therefore normative, justifications were slightly related to conspiracy ideation and a general rejection of the scientific consensus. The category system could be applied to other CSI topics to help clarify the relation between scientific and informal reasoning in science education and communication.

description: Large scale windthrow salvage logging is increasing in Central Europe because of the growth of severe atmospheric events due to global heating. Sustainable forest operations in these conditions are challenging in terms of both productivity performances and safety of the operations. Fully mechanized harvesting systems are the preferred solution on trafficable terrains and proper slopes. However, different work methods and logistic organization of the operations could largely change the overall performances. The study observed three harvesting sites based on fully mechanized cut-to-length systems and located in areas affected by the Vaia storm, which hit north-eastern Italy in October 2018. The objectives were to estimate forwarder productivity in salvage logging in difficult terrain and to identify significant variables affecting this productivity under real working conditions. Time and motion studies were carried out and covered 59.9 PMH15, for a total of 101 working cycles, extracting a total volume of 1277 m3 of timber. Average time consumption for each site was 38.7, 42.2, and 25.1 PMH15 with average productivity of 22.5, 18.5, and 29.4 m3/PMH15, respectively, for Sites A, B, and C. A total of seven explanatory variables significantly affected forwarder productivity. Average load volume, maximum machine inclination during loading, and number of logs positively affected the productivity. On the contrary, travel distance, load volume, maximum ground slope during moving and loading have a negative influence. With an average travel distance of 500 m, the productivity resulted 20.52, 16.31, and 23.03 m3/PMH15, respectively, for Sites A, B, and C. An increase of 200 m of travel distance causes a decrease in productivity of 6%.

description: L'articolo propone alcune considerazioni sulla didattica dell'italiano come L2 in Svizzera, partendo da una breve disamina della posizione che l'italiano ha in Svizzera all'interno del suo territorio e nei Cantoni non italofoni. Si è dunque trattato della didattica dell'italiano L2 in Svizzera abbozzando i tratti principali che caratterizzano la didattica fuori e all'interno del territorio italofono. Si è anche proposta una lista di alcuni lessemi marcati in diatopia che caratterizzano l'italiano in Svizzera, sottolineando come questi e altri tratti più squisitamente sociolinguistici possano indurre a considerare anche l'italiano come una lingua pluricentrica, con le implicazioni che questo concetto ha per la didattica dell'italiano L2 in Svizzera, anche dal punto di vista della riflessione metalinguistica.   The paper proposes some considerations concerning teaching Italian as a second language in Switzerland. Through a brief description of the position of Italian inside the Swiss quadrilingualism the teaching approaches are discussed taking into account the peculiar situation inside and outside the Italian territory. Besides the paper presents a list of some common lexemes diatopically marked inducing, along with sociolinguistic parameters, at considering Italian as a pluricentric language with the implication the concept may have concerning the teaching of Italian as a second language in Switzerland.

description: This study examined whether the current generation of consumer-grade digital mobile computing technology, so called smartphone technology, is usable to perform and improve field data collection in the context of sustainable forest management. An electronic data acquisition system, based on a handheld smartphone device and desktop geographic information system (GIS), was developed. A proprietary timber cruise application and commercial mapping software were used with the smartphone/desktop GIS to record and process forest stand and geospatial data. Usability testing was carried out to measure workflow efficiency and system performance of the smartphone GIS compared to traditional paper-based methods. The smartphone GIS successfully met performance objectives and significantly increased workflow efficiencies by improving data transfer and processing times over conventional paper methods; however, use of the mobile device resulted in greater data entry errors, increased data collection times, and led to more equipment malfunctions than use of paper recording methods together with a GPS and digital camera. Overall, the prototype electronic data acquisition system was not reliable as a stand-alone solution solely responsible for collecting cruise data, but was found to be well suited for ad-hoc mapping of forest features.
Impact of Customary Land Tenure Systems and Reforms on Women in Papua New Guinea

description: The marks of capitalism expressed through western ideals pertinent to economic progress have prompted a challenge for Papua New Guinea (PNG) to reform customary land without de-stabilising the traditional land tenure system. This thesis explores the effects of the recent customary land reform - Voluntary Customary Land Registration (VCLR) on women in PNG. The interrelationship between customary land tenure systems and customary land reform and how they affect women is explored through case study methodology in the study sites of Toudikwa Land Group in the Milne Bay Province; Aridagin Land Group and Butibam Village both in the Morobe Province. In each study area, qualitative data collection methods (un-structured interviews with thirty seven people, four focus group discussions and field observations) were used. Thematic analysis of the research data found that certain fundamental principles of inheritance (be it patrilineal or matrilineal), communal ownership, and an inherent gendered distribution of property rights, appear to have remained more or less intact. The VCLR process reinforces bonds of family/lineage land rights and locality boundaries and limits the rights of outsiders, and this is now codified in government systems; it helps to recognise, protect and indeed, forefront, women's rights in ownership (matrilineal case) and access to land (patrilineal) where they already exist due to custom. However, this research also found there were also low levels of literacy; meaning comprehension of these laws and access to information was limited. The women in the Incorporated Land Group Executive committees had limited to nil business acumen to perform the functions needed for their incorporated body introduced by the land reform process. Some women in peri-urban areas utilised their accessibility to urban areas to improve their personal status through education. Educational equity is also important for women to enable some degree of economic empowerment and improve rural women's visibility in the community, and to avoid being undermined by male siblings, in a matrilineal society. This thesis argues that in a single nation-state like PNG, the recent customary land reform is complex in its impacts on rural women. On the one hand it offers tenure security to those women who already have ownership or access rights to the land by codifying these customary rights, but then on the other hand it entrenches gendered power relations that are within these customary land tenure systems. Therefore, despite providing tenure security, customary land tenure systems and land reform may have negative impacts on women's land rights, access to land and any subsequent empowerment.
L’INFLUENZA DELLA L1 NELL’APPRENDIMENTO DI LINGUE AFFINI:  ANALISI DELLE INTERFERENZE LINGUISTICHE DI ISPANOFONI  APPRENDENTI L’ITALIANO COME LINGUA STRANIERA

description: Nell'apprendimento dell'italiano come lingua straniera da parte di ispanofoni l'affinità tra L1 ed L2 emerge come un'arma a doppio taglio: nella fase iniziale facilita l'apprendimento e la comunicazione in LS, ma, una volta raggiunto un livello intermedio nella LS, tale parentela causa un gran numero di fenomeni di transfer dalla L1 con errori che rischiano di fossilizzarsi nel tempo e che richiedono pertanto un'attenzione particolare per essere corretti. In questo lavoro di ricerca, svolto presso il Liceo Scientifico E. Fermi della Scuola Statale Italiana di Madrid, sono stati rilevati i fenomeni di transfer negativo presenti nelle produzioni scritte e orali degli studenti madrelingua spagnoli. Le occorrenze piú frequenti sono state raggruppate in tre ambiti principali: fonologico, morfologico e lessicale.   For Spanish speakers learning Italian as a foreign language, the affinity between L1 and L2 is a double-edged sword: in the initial phase, it facilitates learning and communication in the FL, but once it they have reached an intermediate level in the foreign language, the similarity causes a lot of transfer from the L1 with errors that risk becoming fossilized over time and require particular attention so that they are corrected. In this study, carried out at the Liceo Scientifico E. Fermi at the Scuola Statale Italiana in Madrid, negative transfer phenomena in the oral and written production of mother tongue Spanish speakers were found. The most frequent occurences were grouped into three main areas: phonological, morphological and lexical

description: L'identità linguistica è una peculiarità mutevole e poliedrica che le persone costruiscono e ricostruiscono continuamente nelle loro relazioni con gli altri parlanti. Questo articolo presenta uno studio condotto con sei studentesse straniere provenienti da Paesi diversi (Grecia, Filippine, Albania, Estonia, Turchia e Cina) con lo scopo di indagare le loro strategie conversazionali in Italiano L2 utilizzate in un focus group per discutere temi linguistici e culturali. I dati raccolti sono stati analizzati secondo una prospettiva linguistica e socioculturale. L'analisi linguistica si è concentrata sull'uso dell'italiano come lingua franca con particolare attenzione ad aspetti come il mutamento di codice, le strategie di riparazione, la negoziazione del significato e le strategie di politeness. L'analisi socioculturale ha evidenziato le possibili relazioni tra l'uso della lingua italiana e il contesto socioculturale in cui le partecipanti a questo studio vivono e studiano, cioè il Corso di Laurea in Lingue e Letterature Straniere dell'Università degli Studi di Milano. Nell'ultima parte dell'articolo, vengono prese in esame alcune implicazioni di questa analisi per l'insegnamento dell'italiano L2.   Linguistic identity is a shifting and multifaced feature that people are constantly constructing and reconstructing in their relationships with other speakers. This article presents a study aimed at investigating the way six students from different countries (Greece, Philippines, Albania, Estonia, Turkey and China) and with different L1 backgrounds use specific conversational strategies while discussing a number of linguistic and cultural issues in a focus group session. The data collected were analysed from linguistic and sociocultural perspectives. The linguistic analysis focused on the participants' use of Italian as a lingua franca with a view to underscoring aspects of interaction such as code-mixing, repair strategy, negotiation of meaning and politeness. The socio-cultural analysis was meant to highlight the relationship between the participants' use of Italian and the wider socio-cultural context in which they live and study, that is the University of Milan. In the last part of the article, data analysis is discussed taking into account possible implications for the teaching of Italian as a second language.

Manifestations du narrataire dans le roman québécois.
Creators: name: Connolly, Carole.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1999
Subjects: subject: Literature, Modern.

description: Deux problématiques traversent cette étude: l'appel à l'Autre, tel qu'il se manifeste dans les oeuvres romanesques et, simultanément, un aperçu des techniques narratives caractéristiques du roman québécois avant et après 1960. L'Autre du roman, c'est son narrataire extradiégétique. Le terme de «narrataire» est jeune, forgé par Roland Barthes en 1966, mais le souci du destinataire textuel remonte au moins à l'Antiquité grecque: Aristote en fait un des fondements de sa Rhétorique au Ive siècle avant Jésus-Christ. Les jalons subséquents dans l'évolution du concept de destinataire textuel ne seront posés, en réalité, qu'au XXe siècle, de concert avec le développement de la linguistique moderne (Saussure, les Formalistes, Bakhtine, Benveniste, Jakobson). Puis, en 1974, le structuraliste Gerald Prince fait valoir l'importance du narrataire proprement dit dans le discours romanesque: loin d'être un simple paradigme dépourvu de substance réelle, le narrataire se manifeste de façon concrète dans tous les romans et y assume des fonctions précises, variables selon les oeuvres. Et Prince de dresser un inventaire des indicateurs du narrataire dans les oeuvres romanesques et un aperçu des fonctions qu'il est susceptible d'assumer. La présente étude met à contribution les travaux de Prince et de ceux qui ont engagé la discussion avec lui (Genette, Todorov, Rousset, Ifri, Piwowarczyk) dans le repérage et la description des narrataires extradiégétiques dans les romans retenus: Jean Rivard , le défricheur et Jean Rivard , économiste d'Antoine Gérin-Lajoie; L'Appel de la race de Lionel Groulx, Maria Chapdelaine de Louïs Hémon, Mon cheval pour un royaume de Jacques Poulin et Parlons de moi de Gilles Archambault. Ce qui se dégage de ces situations variées est l'emploi du narrataire extradiégétique à une seule et même fin: l'interaction entre le narrateur et son narrataire, quels qu'en soient les avatars stratégiques, doit servir à convaincre le public ciblé par l'auteur du bien-fondé des propos du narrateur. Du moins jusqu'en 1960...A partir de la Révolution tranquille, les narràtaires ne seront plus les faire-valoir du narrateur, ne valideront plus comme auparavant ses propos. Dès lors, le lecteur doit choisir par lui-même d'adhérer ou non aux propos du narrateur, sans la caution du narrataire.

description: The work of this thesis comprises extensive Noncontact Atomic Force Microscopy (NC-AFM) characterization of clean metal-oxide (YSZ(100)/(111) and MgO(100)) and graphitic (HOPG) supports as templates for the novel, photochemically induced nucleation of cobalt oxide nanostructures, particularly Cobalt (III) Oxide. The nanostructure-support surfaces were also studied by X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) to verify the nature of the supported cobalt oxide and to corroborate the surface topographic and phase NC-AFM data. Heteroepitaxial growth of Co2O3 nanostructures proves to exhibit a variety of different growth modes based on the structure of the support surface. On this basis, single-crystal support surfaces ranging from nonpolar to polar and atomically flat to highly defective and reactive were chosen, again, yielding numerous substrate-nanostructure interactions that could be probed by high-performance surface science techniques.

description: Cobia aquaculture began in Australia in 2007; however, expansion of commercial production has been limited, due in part to low and inconsistent supply of seed stock for on-growing. This study aimed to address the constraints of reproductive performance of cobia in captive conditions and investigate strategies to improve the efficiencies of broodstock management in commercial and research facilities. In a study evaluating the growth of three cohorts of captive reared cobia, to determine the existence and extent of sexually dimorphic growth, intersex development in cobia was identified and recorded for the first time. There was no sexually dimorphic growth in the first two cohorts of fish. In contrast, females from third cohort were significantly larger than males once mean body weight exceeded 2 kg. It is proposed that the observed variations in growth and gonad malformations observed in cohorts 1 and 2 were the result of exposure to endocrine disruptors, the type and source of which remains unknown.

description: In questo articolo si presenta una breve panoramica delle ipotesi teoriche sui meccanismi di acquisizione fonologica della lingua seconda proposte da differenti modelli linguistici. Sulla base di queste ipotesi si analizzano alcuni tratti fonologici presenti nella lingua italiana e vengono suggerite attività esemplificative per acquisire tali tratti. Gli elementi fonologici qui considerati sono il raddoppiamento e la sillabazione, le consonanti occlusive, le consonanti affricate, le vocali.   This article presents a brief survey of the hypotheses regarding second language phonological acquisition mechanisms proposed by different linguistic models.  Based on these hypotheses, a few phonological traits present in the Italian language are analyzed and examples of activities to foster acquisition are given. The phonological elements considered are: doubling and syllabication, vowels, occlusive and fricative consonants.

Dopo un'introduzione teorica che tratta della comprensione orale come fondamento dell'apprendimento linguistico e di come questa si riveli particolarmente problematica, ma al contempo essenziale, per i primi passi degli apprendenti giapponesi nello sviluppo di un'interlingua che li porti ad un'adeguata competenza dell'italiano, vengono trattate le strategie di decodificazione che consentono la comprensione orale e in particolare quali possano risultare più efficaci nel superamento delle grandi difficoltà riscontrate soprattutto in fase iniziale fino al raggiungimento del livello soglia (da A0/A1 a B1 del Quadro Comune Europeo di Riferimento per le le Lingue). Seguono e concludono l'articolo alcuni suggerimenti procedurali rivolti ai docenti e una proposta di attività didattica specifica come esempio di applicazione pratica.   This article offers support for Italian Language teachers in Japan in order to share questions raised and possible answers which address the lack of specific materials dealing with the wide-spread problems of Italian Language learning for Japanese and other Asian students, both in terms of theory and practice. FIrst there is a discussion on the theories of oral comprehension, which constitutes the basis for language learning. This aspect is particularly problematic, but also essential, for beginning level Japanese students in developing the interlanguage which will lead them to acquire adequate competence in Italian. Decodification strategies for oral comprehension are discussed, especially the most effective ones for overcoming serious difficulties in the initial phases up to to the threshold level (from A0/A1 to B1 according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages). The article concludes with suggestions for teachers and specific didactic activity proposals as examples of practical applications.

description: This MA thesis examines the decision-making capacity of young women married during adolescence within the context of their sexual and reproductive health in an urban ghetto in the city of Ahmedabad, India. Specifically, the development literature on married female adolescents (MFAs) is characterized by negative health indicators such as higher rates of unwanted pregnancies, reproductive tract infections, sexually transmitted diseases, high infant and maternal mortality and morbidity coupled with the phenomenon of early marriage, poverty and an overall lower social status. The result is a disempowering discourse that constructs and presents them as powerless victims who lack any decision-making capacity and are perpetually oppressed. This research is an effort to move the discussions of “Other third world women” outside the realm of victimization by challenging and destabilizing this disempowering, hegemonic discourse. We must ask what does decision making look like for these women, as exercised within the context of their sexual and reproductive health. This qualitative analysis is informed by primary research through focus groups and semi-structured interviews with young married women, and was conducted with the help of a local NGO, Mahila Patchwork Co-operative Society. The study provides insights on the young married women’s participation and role in determining their own health outcomes (negative and positive) to better inform programs and services offered by the community NGOs.

description: Sleep disorders are risk factors for diseases such as dementia or diabetes, and cause enormous costs. Despite the crucial impacts of sleep on human health, there is little to no research on sleep and health in the field of science education. Although health education is an overarching goal of science education in school, the topic of sleep is rarely addressed. In the related field of medical education, empirical studies shed light on the impact of school projects concerning sleep health but are yet unrecognized by science education research. Systematic reviews demonstrate the effectiveness of school-based sleep education programs for increasing sleep knowledge but show contradicting findings regarding the impact on sleep behaviors. Lacking knowledge about healthy sleep is related to unhealthy sleep behavior. In this perspective article, we prepare the topic of sleep for the field of science education by presenting the state of research concerning sleep education. Using the connection between light pollution and sleep disruption, we present a concept of sleep health literacy in science education, argue for the implementation of sleep health literacy in science education curricula, and describe how the topics of sleep and light can serve as a link between health education and Education for Sustainable Development.

description: Acquisire una nuova lingua non è mai un percorso semplice. Il cammino che il migrante deve compiere per apprendere l'italiano è costellato di difficoltà e di ostacoli dovuti ad emozioni contrastanti, al  trauma causato dall'esperienza della migrazione, dalle condizioni, spesso di forte disagio, di lavoro, del contesto in cui si trova a svolgere una nuova vita, dalla qualità o meno dell'accoglienza, dalle possibilità reali, sul piano sociale, di integrazione. Lo scopo di questo articolo consiste nel mettere in evidenza il passaggio complesso dalla lingua madre alla cosiddetta lingua adottiva, mostrando come in taluni casi l'italiano, imparato nei corsi per stranieri o a scuola dai più giovani sia divenuto uno straordinario strumento grazie al quale poter evocare il paese d'origine e raccontare il proprio vissuto. Lo scrivere in una lingua diversa permette al migrante non solo di narrare fatti ed esperienze che magari preferirebbe non raccontare nella lingua madre, ma di diventare costruttore di cultura.   Learning a new language is never a simple task. The new-comer's experience of learning Italian is marked by difficulties and obstacles caused by contrasting emotions, the trauma from the experience of migration, the often difficult work conditions, the living conditions in the host country, the presence or absence of feeling welcomed, and the real chances for social integration. This paper aims at highlighting the complex passage from the mother tongue to the so-called adopted language, showing how in some cases learning Italian, thanks to courses for foreigners or as children at school, has become a wonderful tool for evoking the home country and telling about life there. Writing in another language allows migrants not only to recount facts and experiences that they might prefer not to tell in their own language, but it is a cultural building block as well.

description: Coaches learn from a number of different situations and their past experiences influence what they choose to pay attention to and learn (Werthner & Trudel, 2009). Understanding the process of learning to coach can be explored holistically over the course of an individual’s lifespan. This thesis is guided by Jarvis’ (2006, 2007, 2009) theory of human learning, which takes a psychosocial perspective to understanding the way that individuals perceive their social situations, change their biographies, and become who they are over the course of their lives. The purpose of this dissertation is to explore the biographies of five Canadian women coaches to understand how the multitude of experiences throughout their lives have contributed to their learning and coaching development. Four in-depth interviews were conducted and transcribed verbatim with each coach. From these interviews a biographical narrative analysis was created to document how each coach learned throughout her life. The transcripts and narrative analyses were member checked to augment trustworthiness. Four articles and one research note comprise the results section. The main points in this dissertation are as follows: (a) experiences in primary and secondary socialization influenced the coaches’ approaches to coaching; (b) specific meaningful learning experiences helped the coaches develop and become experienced as coaches; (c) values develop throughout life experiences and influence coaching actions; (d) Jarvis’ theory is used to explore my own process of learning throughout the PhD degree, and how this learning was influenced by my lifetime of experiences to date; and (e) a brief research note highlights how the research process was a co-creation between the researcher and the participants. These findings add to the emerging body of literature on female coaches and coach learning by further understanding how the coaches’ biographies determined what kinds of learning opportunities they each found meaningful; the importance of social connections in learning to coach; and the importance of reflection in understanding the interconnections of learning from life experiences. The study may motivate women coaches in understanding how lifelong learning influences their career paths and it informs coach education programs about the muddled reality of coaches’ learning and development.

description: This presentation was given at the Open Science Barcamp 2019 in Berlin. Participatory research, that is when people who are not employed as scientists do research – on their own, in groups and potentially in cooperation with people who are employed as scientists. There are many different methodologies and approaches to participatory research, for instance DIY science, Community-based Research, Participatory Action Research and Citizen Science. Such concepts are not often considered in discussions on Open Science, which are usually focussing on developments within scientific institutions. In my talk I will argue that it is important to extend the idea of Open Science beyond academia by considering another shade of openness – openness for participation of volunteers and cooperations with civil society organisations. With a focus on Citizen Science, I will introduce a pluralistic concept of participatory research, highlight current developments and discuss challenges of this growing field of practice in Europe.

description: After two weeks of assessing the evidence, discussing policy and reporting on fieldwork, The Conversation's asylum seeker expert panel has made its findings. Using information from our research repository, and arising from discussion had on the group blog, our panel of academics has drafted a position tailored to the Houston panel's Terms of Reference. Whether this expert advice will be heeded remains to be seen, but this statement will remain on the public record as a fair, humane and workable policy approach to asylum seekers losing their lives at sea.

description: Algebraic Quantum Field Theory (AQFT) is a mathematically rigorous framework that was developed to model the interaction of quantum mechanics and relativity. In AQFT, quantum mechanics is modelled by C*-algebras of observables and relativity is usually modelled in Minkowski space. In this thesis we will consider a generalization of AQFT which was inspired by the work of Abramsky and Coecke on abstract quantum mechanics [1, 2]. In their work, Abramsky and Coecke develop a categorical framework that captures many of the essential features of finite-dimensional quantum mechanics. In our setting we develop a categorified version of AQFT, which we call premonoidal C*-quantum field theory, and in the process we establish many analogues of classical results from AQFT. Along the way we also exhibit a number of new concepts, such as a von Neumann category, and prove several properties they possess. We also establish some results that could lead to proving a premonoidal version of the classical Doplicher-Roberts theorem, and conjecture a possible solution to constructing a fibre-functor. Lastly we look at two variations on AQFT in which a causal order on double cones in Minkowski space is considered.

description: The health and well being of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people is identified as a priority by state and federal governments, but remains amongst the poorest in the world. Safety, health, social and educational measures of well being are consistently lower for Indigenous Queenslanders, with mortality rates for Indigenous infants twice that of the non-Indigenous population. Despite efforts to improve health care delivery and access for this population, life expectancy remains considerably shorter overall. Initiatives that deliver effective, accessible and culturally respectful programs of education and health promotion need to be developed, supported and evaluated for efficacy within Indigenous communities. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of an infant illness assessment tool implemented and supported by Indigenous Child Health Workers (ICHW) and Child Health Workers (CHW) amongst Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families and caregivers.
