description: The ability to measure the oxygen saturation, oximetry, of retinal blood both non-invasively and in-vivo has been a goal of eye research for years. Retinal oximetry can in principle be achieved from the measurement of the reflectance spectrum of the ocular fundus. Oximetry calculations are however complicated by the scattering of red blood cells, the different pathways of light through blood and the ocular tissues that light interacts with before exiting the eye. The goal of this thesis was to investigate the influence of red blood cell scattering for different light paths relevant to retinal oximetry. Results of in-vitro whole blood experiments found calculated oxygen saturation differences between blood samples measured under different retinal light paths, and these differences did not depend on the absorbance path length. We also showed that the calculated oxygen saturation value determined by a multiple linear regression Beer-Lambert absorbance model depended on the wavelength range chosen for analysis. The wavelength dependency on the calculated oxygen saturation value is due in part to the correlation that exists between the oxyhaemoglobin and deoxyhaemoglobin extinction coefficient spectra and to errors in the assumptions built into the Beer-Lambert absorbance model. A wavelength region with low correlation between the oxyhaemoglobin and deoxyhaemoglobin extinction coefficients was found that is hypothesized to be a good range to calculate oxygen saturation using a multiple linear regression approach.

description: During the 2009 H1N1 pandemic, the City of Ottawa implemented a program to disseminate vaccination clinic information using the microblogging tool Twitter. The purpose of this thesis is to examine and evaluate whether this program constitutes a communicative model. The challenge for crisis communicators has been to convince a confused and skeptical public to be vaccinated against the virus. Drawing on Aristotle’s Rhetoric and Rousseau’s The Social Contract, the theoretical framework of this thesis feeds from Heidegger’s (1977) views on technology, new media, Web 2.0 technologies, Eid’s (2008) Crisis Decision-Making Model for Media Rational Responsibility, Rowan, Botan, Krepes, Samoilenko and Farnsworth’s (2008) CAUSE model, Crozier’s (1967) Theory of Bureaucratic Dysfunction and New Public Management. The thesis employs a case study approach and utilizes a qualitative research design to analyze the Twitter messages and internal City of Ottawa documents, and to conduct in-depth interviews with employees. Findings reveal and explain that the City of Ottawa’s program constitutes a flawed communicative model. A recommended communicative model is put forth in order to improve the areas of planning, human resources and message design. This model contributes to the emerging field of social media, and is intended to help health crisis decision-makers communicate their messages effectively.

Ecocriticism, Geophilosophy, and the [Truth] of Ecology

description: This thesis addresses the question posed to ecocriticism by Dana Phillips in his iconoclastic The Truth of Ecology: Nature, Culture, and Literature in America: “What is the truth of ecology, insofar as this truth is addressed by literature and art?” by examining how ecocriticism has, or has failed to, contextualize ecocritical discourse within an ecological framework. After reviewing the current state of ecocriticism and its relationship with environmentalism, the thesis suggests that both rely on the same outmoded, inaccurate and essentially inutile ecological concepts and language, and argues for a new approach to ecocriticism that borrows its concepts and language from the geophilosophy of Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari. The thesis concludes with a reassessment of the work of Barry Lopez, showing how his fiction, when viewed through the lens of geophilosophy, does not support essentialist notions of nature, but rather works to articulate a world of multiplicities, and new modes of becoming.

description: The ecosystem plays a crucial role in mitigating climate change and protecting the environment. This study employs GIS technology to conduct an in-depth analysis of the current status of Queensland's ecosystem and develops a Climate Change Vulnerability Index (CCVI) model based on six sub-factors. These sub-factors include the Exposure Index (Mean surface temperature and precipitation), the Sensitivity Index (Population density, Building density, and Proximity to forests and nature reserves), and the Adaptive Capacity Index (Nighttime light radiation). The findings indicate that the CCVI value is lowest in the southeastern coastal region of Queensland, suggesting that this area is less vulnerable to climate change. However, other coastal areas and the far western inland regions exhibit higher CCVI values, indicating greater climate vulnerability. These areas require attention and the implementation of appropriate measures. By deepening our understanding of exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity, we can formulate effective policies and measures to promote sustainable development and mitigate the negative impacts of climate change on the region. This study holds significant practical implications for guiding ecological planning and management decisions in the area.

Upper Limb Associated Reactions in People with Acquired Brain Injury: Developing a Dynamic Assessment During Walking and Investigating Related Impairments

description: Acquired brain injury (ABI) encompasses conditions such as stroke, traumatic brain injury, and cerebral tumours. The burden of ABI is widespread; stroke is the leading cause of worldwide disability and traumatic brain injury is the primary cause of severe disability for young adults. Associated reactions (ARs) of the hemiplegic upper limb are an example of the complex physical sequalae resulting from ABI. The phenomenon of ARs is widely observed and reported in neurorehabilitation. It is understood to be a released postural reaction, deprived of voluntary control, and triggered by effort. Therefore, when performing functional tasks such as walking, people with ARs experience increased tone or movement in their hemiplegic upper limb, causing awkward, often uncomfortable limb postures. These ARs may adversely impact walking ability, dynamic balance, energy expenditure, upper limb movement and function, aesthetics, and may cause contractures. Despite this, the AR literature possesses four key challenges; 1) problems with terminology; 2) no existing gold-standard clinical or research outcome measure; 3) ambiguous contributing factors to the expression of ARs; and 4) no strong evidence to support varied treatment approaches. Based on this, the need for further AR research is apparent. This thesis was designed to address these identified challenges, particularly with respect to AR assessment. The initial aim of the thesis was to undertake a systematic review of the literature (Study 1) to determine the existing AR assessment methods and evaluate their clinimetric properties. Prior to performing the review, AR terminology was delineated, and a specific AR definition was devised to address the first challenge identified. The review reported six key findings regarding AR assessments; 1) assessments were commonly performed in stationary, seated positions; 2) maximal voluntary isometric contractions (MVIC) of the unaffected upper limb were frequently used to induce the AR; 3) both the seated testing positions and maximal effort protocols did not reflect the dynamic functional occurrence of ARs, indicating limited ecological validity for functional tasks; 4) testing protocols focussed mostly on the elbow joint; 5) clinimetric properties were limited; and, 6) many assessment methods had poor clinical utility. These findings underpinned the subsequent aims and studies of this thesis.

description: Introduction: Understanding the relationship between muscle loads crossing the knee joint and knee joint mechanics is critical for understanding knee stability and the effects of altered muscle forces on healthy and ACL injured knees. In vitro measurement can be used to elucidate this if the simulation is biofidelic, allowing the physiological levels of applied loads to dictate the tibiofemoral kinematics in all degrees of freedom (DoF). The objectives of this study were to describe and apply the University of Ottawa knee simulator as well as measure the reliability of the device. In addition, this device was used to quantify the effect of muscle loads and anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) resection on contact mechanics and kinematics of the tibiofemoral joint. Methods: Muscle forces were determined from an electromyography-driven musculoskeletal model of a healthy male during gait. Six knee specimens were loaded into the simulator and subjected to 100%, 75% and 50% in vivo muscle forces applied through the 6 simulated muscles, in addition to a quadriceps weakness and a hamstring weakness condition. Tibiofemoral mechanics were measured with all 5 loading conditions before and after ACL transection. Results: With the ACL intact, very high reliability in contact area and pressures among loading conditions were observed as the intra-class correlation coefficients (ICC) ranged from 0.932 to 0.99. After ACL transection, reliability remained very high as ICCs ranged from 0.926 to 0.99. In all simulated conditions, muscle forces maintained the knee joint in a stable position resulting in minimal kinematic differences, but altered contact mechanics in both the ACL and non-ACL condition. Removal of the ACL significantly reduced both the medial and lateral contact areas in all loading conditions compared to the ACL intact condition. Conclusion: In summary, the UOKS has demonstrated high reliability within repeated measures. Additionally, small, normally undetectable alterations in joint kinematics resulted in significant alterations to contact mechanics, which can be linked to the degenerative process.

description: In less-resourced settings, adverse pregnancy outcome rates are unacceptably high. To effect improvement, we need accurate epidemiological data about rates of death and morbidity, as well as social determinants of health and processes of care, and from each country (or region) to contextualise strategies. The PRECISE database is a unique core infrastructure of a generic, unified data collection platform. It is built on previous work in data harmonisation, outcome and data field standardisation, open-access software (District Health Information System 2 and the Baobab Laboratory Information Management System), and clinical research networks. The database contains globally-recommended indicators included in Health Management Information System recording and reporting forms. It comprises key outcomes (maternal and perinatal death), life-saving interventions (Human Immunodeficiency Virus testing, blood pressure measurement, iron therapy, uterotonic use after delivery, postpartum maternal assessment within 48 h of birth, and newborn resuscitation, immediate skin-to-skin contact, and immediate drying), and an additional 17 core administrative variables for the mother and babies. In addition, the database has a suite of additional modules for ‘deep phenotyping’ based on established tools. These include social determinants of health (including socioeconomic status, nutrition and the environment), maternal co-morbidities, mental health, violence against women and health systems. The database has the potential to enable future high-quality epidemiological research integrated with clinical care and discovery bioscience.

description: In 2011 there were an estimated 3.9 million orphaned children in South Africa, many of them orphaned by HIV/AIDS. These children are at high risk for developing psychosocial and mental health problems. The National Strategy for the care of orphans and other vulnerable children (OVCs) recognizes the importance of psychosocial support but there are few specific guidelines on best practice and little research on the effectiveness of psychosocial support programs. There is even less research capturing the perspectives of front-line staff and caregivers. This master’s thesis project conducted a case study of an NGO that provides foster care for OVCs in the Western Cape of South Africa. Semi-structured interviews were carried out with 14 foster mothers, four social workers and one administrator of the HomeFromHome organization. Interviews explored the experiences, opinions and concerns of participants regarding psychosocial support and the respondents’ views on the (1) main challenges they face in providing psychosocial support (2) what they see as the most effective forms of support and (3) their recommendations for policy changes. Responses highlighted the psychosocial challenges faced by OVCs, those caring for children, and program staff. The research findings support the existing literature, which promotes psychosocial support as essential for orphaned, and vulnerable children. This case study found that HomeFromHome social workers, foster mothers and administration want increased levels of psychosocial support for both children and caregivers. Respondents identified foster mothers and a primary loving caregiver as the most significant form and source of psychosocial support for the children. An analysis of the participant responses identified several areas that warrant further investigation for future policy and program development. These include: the different forms of alternative childcare, the role of the community and the church, the gap between policy and implementation, gendered issues, the aging out process, and issues concerning biological families.

Coverage-awareness Scheduling Protocols for Wireless Sensor Networks

Subjects: wireless sensor network

description: The coverage and energy issues are the fundamental problems which prevent the development of wireless sensor networks. In order to accurately evaluate the monitoring quality (coverage), one needs to model the interactive of sensors, phenomenons and the environment. Furthermore, in collaborative with scheduling algorithm and computer optimization, protocols can improve the overall monitoring quality and prolong the lifetime of network. This thesis is an investigation of coverage problem and its relative applications in the wireless sensor networks. We first discuss the realistic of current boolean sensing model and propose an irregular sensing model used to determine the coverage in the area with obstacles. We then investigate a joint problem of maintaining the monitoring quality and extending the lifetime of network by using scheduling schemes. Since the scheduling problem is NP hard, genetic algorithm and Markov decision process are used to determine an achievable optimal result for the joint problem of coverage-preserving and lifetime-prolong. In order to avoid the cost of centralized or distributed scheduling algorithms, a localized coverage-preserving scheduling algorithm is proposed by exploring the construction process of Voronoi diagram. Besides exploring the coverage characteristic in a static wireless sensor network, we investigate the coverage problem when the mobile elements are introduced into network. We consider the single-hop mobile data gathering problem with the energy efficiency and data freshness concerns in a wireless sensor network where the connectivity cannot be maintained. We first investigate the upper/lower bound of the covering time for a single collector to cover the monitoring area. Through our investigation we show that for a bounded rectangle area a hexagon walk could explore the area more efficiently than a random walk when the edges of area are known. We then propose a virtual force mobile model (VFM) in which the energy consumption for data transmission is modeled as a virtual elastic force and used to guide of mobile collectors to move to optimal positions for energy saving.
Evaluating the Effectiveness of the SPEL Basin: A Case Study
Creators: name: Paterson, Shelbi
Publisher: name: University of the Sunshine Coast, Queensland
Year: 2015

description: This study investigated the effectiveness of two SPEL basins - a dry media filter basin and a wet sump filter basin - in treating stormwater pollutants from urban runoff. Two sites were chosen in Sippy Downs, on the Sunshine Coast. These sites are located in a developing urban area, in the landscape verge along Sippy Downs Drive. Inlet and outlet subsamples were captured in and withheld in Campbell Scientific PVS 4100 C Auto Samplers after rainfall events over 12 months, in which they would then be collected and analysed. Parameters tested were: total suspended solids (TSS), total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorus (TP). In total, 23 sample sets of stormwater were collected between the two basins. However, only six were used for analysis. The other 17 events were disqualified due to not meeting minimum sample and rainfall protocol or were excluded for demonstrating erratic results. No events from the wet sump filter basin were used for analysis as all samples exhibited erratic results. It is likely that these erratic results may be due to blockages within the stormsack trough which interrupted sampling. The dry media filter basin results showed average concentration removal efficiencies of 40%, 14% and -14% for TSS, TN and TP respectively.

description: Because Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs) often have a high packet loss rate, the formerly used protocol for video streaming, Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP), is no longer suitable for this specific environment. Previous conducted research has offered many new protocols to solve this problem; however, most of them cannot make full use of the existing Internet video streaming resources like RTP servers. Our work proposes two models to solve this compatibility issue. The first model is called the converter model. Based on this model, we first modify RTP using Erasure Coding (EC) technique in order to adapt it to the high packet loss rate of VANETs. This newly developed protocol is called EC-RTP. And, we then developed two converters. The first converter stands on the boundary between the Internet and VANETs. It receives the RTP packets which sent from Internet. And then it translates them to the EC-RTP packets. These packets are transported over the VANETs. The second converter receives these EC-RTP packets, translates them back to the RTP packets. It then sends them to the RTP player, so that the RTP player can play these packets. To make EC-RTP can carry more kinds of video streams other than RTP, we proposed a second model. The second model is called the redundancy tunnel. Based on this model, we let the protocol between the two converters carry RTP protocol as its payload. We use the same technique as we have used to modify RTP. At last, we did some experiments with Android tablets. The experiment results show our solution can use the same player to play the same video resources as RTP does. However, unlike RTP, it can reduce packet loss rate.

description: Eucalypts are planted commercially worldwide as a source of raw materials used in the wood, paper, energy and pharmaceutical industries. Among the many species of Australian insects that followed the extra-limital spread of eucalypts are defoliating weevils in the genus Gonipterus. As the global spread and economic impact of Gonipterus spp. continue, understanding their relationships with host plants and natural enemies in light of newly revealed taxonomic complexity is important for establishing management and biosecurity strategies.
description: This thesis investigated Gonipterus species with the broad objective of understanding their chemo‐ecological relationships with eucalypts, a task which required addressing ongoing taxonomic difficulties. The studies included: (1) chemical analysis for species differentiation; (2) field surveys in South East Queensland (SEQ) to understand Gonipterus spp. ecology, host associations and diversity; (3) chemical and proteomic analyses to assess utilisation and metabolism of plant-borne compounds; the composition and origin of the weevils’ frass and egg capsules; and (4) morphological analyses to enable species differentiation and identification, to produce new host, natural enemy, and geographic distribution records.

Bestehende Verfahren zur Wasser- und Abwasseraufbereitung können durch geeignete nanotechnische Anwendungen optimiert werden, die zu einer gezielteren Entfernung von Kontaminationen, besseren Energieeffizienz und geringeren Kosten führen können. Experten prognostizieren, dass der Wassersektor neben dem Energiesektor mittel- bis langfristig mit am stärksten von innovativen Anwendungen der Nanotechnik profitieren könnte. Neben dem Nutzen der Verwendung von Nanomaterialien zur Wasserbehandlung ist auch zu berücksichtigen, dass Nanomaterialien unbeabsichtigte Wirkungen auf die Umwelt und die menschliche Gesundheit hervorrufen können. Bei der Verwendung der Nanomaterialien muss beachtet werden, dass die neuartigen Eigenschaften der Nanomaterialien gegebenenfalls auch schädliche Wirkungen auf die Umwelt und den Menschen haben können.

description: Mobile computing devices such as personal digital assistants, smart mobile phones, and other handheld computing devices hold much promise in terms of their organizational application. Many existing models of the individual acceptance and implementation of information technology in organizational contexts have been developed in the era of 'at the office' computing such as MIS, office automation, groupware, and so forth. We conducted two in-depth case studies of the implementation of mobile technology in healthcare organizations. The studies highlight interrelated individual use contexts due to the mobility of the technology: the individual as employee, as professional, as private user, and as member of society. The cases show that influences emanating from these use contexts impacted on the individual adoption of the technology within the organization. While broad extra-organizational influences are incorporated in some existing individual technology adoption models, we show that it becomes relevant to accommodate these influences more specifically in research models of mobile computing in organizations. Based on the extant literature and the case study data we pave the way toward more comprehensive models of the adoption and implementation of mobile technologies in organizations.

description: This thesis is a calling to the Egberi, where the researcher tells a 'story' of the educational resilience of ten African refugee students in Brisbane, Queensland. Such stories are intended to be educational. It is hoped that this thesis makes the case that richer futures for African refugee students, and also for Australian society at large, are to be gained through a wider understanding of educational resilience. The drive to take on this project comes from the researcher's own experience as an African émigré to Australia. It also arises from her appreciation of resilience borne of social and relational processes, grounded in a unique African cultural process known to the world as Ubuntu, with its roots embedded in the concept of Ukama. The thesis approaches this resilience through the lens of cultural and critical futures studies (Inayatullah, 2002; Richard A Slaughter, 2004). It takes note of the impact of the past, the challenges and opportunities of the present and call of the future in the decision-making and assumptions of ten African refugees. Yet, to look to the future requires that we first look to the past, to the cultural experiences that inform this research. Therefore, the thesis interrogates the legacy of African and Australian pasts along with the contemporary forces at work in the lives of the interviewees and their communities. This inquiry is built around the Futures Triangle which offers a meta-structure for the thesis as a whole. Causal Layered Analysis (CLA) is applied in the final chapters as the critical tool to synthesise the insights from the interviews in order to generate a set of heuristic metaphors, two of which are applied to explore alternatives to the deficit model of African refugee students and point to a set of recommendations for higher education institutions, educators and policy makers. Ultimately, the thesis introduces a new and potent futures persona: the African Australian. This persona is strategically employed to link educational resilience to the rich resources of Ubuntu and Ukama drawn from African cultures and the strategic choices these students make in their new Australian context. Thus, educational resilience is understood as a hybrid capacity that challenges dominant deficit stereotypes of the African refugee and underscores the agency and resilience of the students interviewed for this research.

description: Objective: In the first instance this scoping review aims to identify and collate definitions of a school food environment, and secondly to identify measures/tools that have been used to assess characteristics of school food environments.Introduction: The school food environment provides an opportunity to support healthy food behaviours in children and adolescents, during a pinnacle phase of development. However limited studies have been conducted to clearly define and contextualise the term. Given the high rates of childhood obesity in the Pacific Islands region, a greater understanding of school food environments globally may inform future development of policy and research for Pacific Islander populations. Inclusion criteria: This scoping review will examine all evidence that aims to define, describe, conceptualize and measure the school food environment in early childhood, primary and secondary school communities within a global context. Quantitative, qualitative and mixed methods studies published in peer-review journals will be considered, as will grey literature sources such as government reports, organisation reports, research reports, theses and dissertations. Methods: Searches for key publications will be conducted in Web of Science (Clarivate), CABI (via CABI inter-face), and Scopus (Elsevier) with Google Scholar and Google used to search for unpublished studies/grey literature. Results will be limited to the past 20 years and all languages considered. Data extraction will be undertaken by two independent reviewers using a data extraction tool. Data will be presented categorically, and themes presented quantitatively. A narrative summary will accompany presented results.

description: This artefact exegesis thesis (thesis) is a phenomenological study of a creative writer’s and reflective researcher’s experiences of writing and researching and reflecting on writing and researching in small places. This is explored in the context of 1) a ‘creative writer’ in the traditional sense of a poet, novelist, playwright, script writer, or songwriter, and 2) a ‘reflective researcher’ consistent with this thesis’ theme, that ‘doing’ or applying (the philosophy of) phenomenology is fundamentally a reflective process involving ‘reflective analysis’.
description: The focus of this thesis is the author’s (my) own experiences of writing in small places, including the production of the artefact’s 69 sketch stories in which I take an Husserlian ‘suspension’ of my belief in what Heidegger calls the ‘facticity’ and ‘fallenness’ of my own existence to date, namely ‘making a living’, and apply Sartre’s ‘imaginary’ in re-creating – rewriting – these (hard) ‘core’ narratives into ‘living a (meaning) making’.

Sediment Classification and Clogging of Permeable Pavements
Creators: name: Chaplin, Luke
Publisher: name: University of the Sunshine Coast, Queensland
Year: 2011

description: This report details the progress made in completing a year long study into the performance of permeable pavement systems. The investigation includes the collecting of sediment from five locations across the Sunshine Coast, testing of the sediment and creating an aggregate filtration device to test infiltration rates. Thus far the sediment has been collected and particle distribution curves and tests for organic content have been undertaken. The results of these tests have also been tabularised and results analysed. This report has been written in conjunction with a final report that is to be completed by the end of the year. As a result, this report features sections that are yet to be completed. For these sections the likely contents will be outlined.

description: Forensics of the 21st century is developing in the conditions of informatization and digitalization. The patterns included in the subject of criminology are subject to transformation under the influence of factors of objective reality. In accordance with this, the article reflects the search for answers to questions about the admissibility of using the term “digital forensics” in science, its meaning and content. This article provides information on the prospects for the development of digital forensics, a currently developing industry in the prevention and detection of cybercrimes, as well as an analysis of the work carried out in this direction. The article also describes the reforms being carried out in the country to develop the field of digital forensics, the concepts being promoted and an analysis of the work being done in this area.
Trust based strategic alliances in the New Zealand wine industry: a context, content and process perspective
Creators: name: Bretherton, Phillip
Publisher: name: University of the Sunshine Coast, Queensland
Year: 2003
Subjects: wine industry

description: This thesis addresses the following questions : Why are trust based strategic alliances used in the New Zealand wine industry? How are trust based strategic alliances managed in this industry? A qualitative, case study based approach was chosen, as current theory is pre-paradigmatic, with integrated models of the rationale for and management of trust based strategic alliances being largely absent. Twelve winery case studies have been written, with seven over-performers and five under-performers. Within-case and cross-case analysis has been undertaken to explore the reasons for differences in performance and identify the managerial issues of this type of structure, using the models of Grant (1998), Varadarajan and Cunningham (1995) and Bretherton and Carswell (2001).

description: An acid rock drainage (ARD) stream emanating from the Zn-Pb XY-deposit in the Yukon Territory was examined in order to evaluate the physico-chemical and geochemical processes governing the distribution of dissolved elements from the creek. The creek showed very high concentrations of metals (300 mg/L Fe, 500 mg/L Zn, 15 000 µg/L Ni, 1300 µg/L Cu and 4500 µg/L Cd), low water temperatures (1 – 12°C) and was acidic to moderately acidic (pH 3.1 – 5.0). It was found that this stream experienced a strong seasonal evolution, with increased sulphate and metal concentrations and decreased pH over the course of the summer. The mineral precipitates that formed under low pH conditions were a mixture of schwertmannite, goethite, jarosite and barite, while those that formed under moderately acidic conditions were a mixture of jurbanite, hydrobasaluminite, gibbsite and an X-ray amorphous Al-sulphate phase. Most of the mineral precipitates were of inorganic origin, although microbes may have played a role in mineral formation and trace metal sequestration in some of the precipitates. All of the mineral precipitates contained anomalous concentrations of trace elements (up to 1.5 % wt Zn) and showed a seasonal evolution in their mineralogy, both of which were determined to be a function of the pH and prevailing geochemical conditions. The geochemistry of the ARD creek draining the XY-deposit was compared to another ARD creek in the area that was likely draining shales. The two creeks were compared in order to determine if ARD geochemical characteristics can be used as a tool for the mineral exploration industry.
