Retinal Image Analysis and Diagnosis of Retinal Blood Vascular Diseases using Deep Learning Model
Creators: name: Choudhury, Bismita
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This research has provided a significant contribution in the field of medical health sector, especially for retinal image analysis. The proposed methodology has the potential to diagnose and detect multiple retinal blood vascular diseases with similar visual features, which can be a stand-alone automated detection model. It can help the ophthalmologists detecting two leading causes of blindness; viz. Diabetic Retinopathy and Retinal Vein Occlusion at the earliest stage, thereby, can provide fast-track treatment to prevent total vision loss. This research can also help the patients in the remote areas, where ophthalmologists or the eye specialist are not easily available.

description: Greenspace is widely related to mental health benefits, but this relationship may vary by social group. Gentrification, as linked to processes of unequal urban development and conflict, potentially impacts health outcomes. This study explores the relationships between greenspace and mental health and between gentrification and mental health associations. It also further examines gentrification as an effect modifier in the greenspace–mental health association and SES as an effect modifier in the gentrification-mental health association. We used cross-sectional Barcelona (Spain) data from 2006, which included perceived mental health status and self-reported depression/anxiety from the Barcelona Health Survey. Greenspace exposure was measured as residential access to (1) all greenspace, (2) greenways and (3) parks in 2006. Census-tract level gentrification was measured using an index including changes in sociodemographic indicators between 1991 and 2006. Logistic regression models revealed that only greenways were associated with better mental health outcomes, with no significant relationship between mental health and parks or all greenspace. Living in gentrifying neighborhoods was protective for depression/anxiety compared to living in non-gentrifying neighborhoods. However, only residents of gentrifiable census tracts benefited from the exposure to greenways. SES was not found to be an effect modifier in the association between gentrification and mental health. Future research should tackle this study’s limitations by incorporating a direct measure of displacement in the gentrification status indicator, accounting for qualitative aspects of greenspace and user’s perceptions. Gentrification may undermine the health benefits provided by greenspace interventions.

description: Bacteria of the genus Brucella are facultative intracellular parasites that cause brucellosis, a severe animal and human disease. Recently, a group of taxonomists merged the brucellae with the primarily free-living, phylogenetically related Ochrobactrum spp. in the genus Brucella. This change, founded only on global genomic analysis and the fortuitous isolation of some opportunistic Ochrobactrum spp. from medically compromised patients, has been automatically included in culture collections and databases. We argue that clinical and environmental microbiologists should not accept this nomenclature, and we advise against its use because (i) it was presented without in-depth phylogenetic analyses and did not consider alternative taxonomic solutions; (ii) it was launched without the input of experts in brucellosis or Ochrobactrum; (iii) it applies a non-consensus genus concept that disregards taxonomically relevant differences in structure, physiology, population structure, core-pangenome assemblies, genome structure, genomic traits, clinical features, treatment, prevention, diagnosis, genus description rules, and, above all, pathogenicity; and (iv) placing these two bacterial groups in the same genus creates risks for veterinarians, medical doctors, clinical laboratories, health authorities, and legislators who deal with brucellosis, a disease that is particularly relevant in low- and middle-income countries. Based on all this information, we urge microbiologists, bacterial collections, genomic databases, journals, and public health boards to keep the Brucella and Ochrobactrum genera separate to avoid further bewilderment and harm. © 2023 American Society for Microbiology

description: Data summarisation techniques including data clustering and aggregation play a significant role in the development of real-world applications such as flight booking, medical decisions, and financial transactions. These applications always require to meet the minimum response time for transferring a large amount of data between the users and the application providers. Consequently, this may cause continuous delays in the system, and thus the users are unable to get their information rapidly. In this thesis, several approaches are designed for effectively summarising the data that continuously evolves over time and maintaining the data summaries incrementally in an efficient manner.

description: Estimating the State of Health (SOH) of batteries is crucial for ensuring the reliable operation of battery systems. Since there is no practical way to instantaneously measure it at run time, a model is required for its estimation. Recently, several data-driven SOH models have been proposed, whose accuracy heavily relies on the quality of the datasets used for their training. Since these datasets are obtained from measurements, they are limited in the variety of the charge/discharge profiles. To address this scarcity issue, we propose generating datasets by simulating a traditional battery model (e.g., a circuit-equivalent one). The primary advantage of this approach is the ability to use a simulatable battery model to evaluate a potentially infinite number of workload profiles for training the data-driven model. Furthermore, this general concept can be applied using any simulatable battery model, providing a fine spectrum of accuracy/complexity tradeoffs. Our results indicate that using simulated data achieves reasonable accuracy in SOH estimation, with a 7.2% error relative to the simulated model, in exchange for a 27X memory reduction and a =2000X speedup.

description: Nachhaltigkeit gilt als ein ethisch begründetes und sich im ständigen Abwägungsprozess befindendes Leitprinzip für eine zukunftsorientierte gesellschaftliche Entwicklung. Der Tourismus wird dabei als Bündnispartner einer nachhaltigen Entwicklung und Mitverursacher von unerwünschten ökologischen und soziokulturellen Auswirkungen gleichermaßen eingeordnet. Nach unterschiedlichen alternativen Nischenansätzen hat sich ein integratives Verständnis von Nachhaltigkeit, bezogen auf Tourismus, als gesamte Branche herausgebildet, wobei sich eine tourismusspezifische Nachhaltigkeitsdefinition aufgrund der vielseitigen Wechselwirkungen mit unterschiedlichen gesellschaftlichen und wirtschaftlichen Prozessen nicht durchsetzen konnte. Daher wird für die Bezeichnung "Nachhaltigkeit im Tourismus" plädiert, die Tourismus als Bestandteil einer weiter gefassten nachhaltigen Entwicklung beschreibt und für die eine systemische Betrachtungsweise herangezogen werden kann, in der ein Wechselspiel von verschiedenen sich gegenseitig beeinflussenden Wirtschaftsbereichen und Akteursebenen stattfindet und in der die Prinzipien der Nachhaltigkeit durchgehend eingeordnet werden können. Quelle: Forschungsbericht
description: Die Begriffe ⁠Nachhaltigkeit⁠ und Tourismus sind gleichermaßen komplex. Tourismus definiert sich über die Aktivitäten von Reisenden und allen damit im Zusammenhang stehenden Wirtschaftsbereiche sowie den draus resultierenden Auswirkungen auf die Umwelt und Gesellschaft. Nachhaltigkeit wiederum umfasst zumindest die drei Dimensionen Umwelt, Soziales und Wirtschaft, teilweise auch weitere Dimensionen wie das Management. Das Themenpapier befasst sich mit der Fragestellung, wie Tourismus in den Kontext der Nachhaltigkeit eingeordnet und beschrieben werden kann. Zudem zeigt es Modelle und Konzepte auf, die Nachhaltigkeit im Tourismus zu messen und zu bewerten. Weiterhin stellt es vor, welche Steuerungsinstrumente in der Nachhaltigkeit im Tourismus zur Verfügung stehen.

description: With the recent increase in interest in machine learning and computer vision, camera-based pose estimation has emerged as a promising new technology. One of the most popular libraries for camera-based pose estimation is MediaPipe Pose due to its computational efficiency, ease of use, and the fact that it is open-source. However, little work has been performed to establish how accurate the library is and whether it is suitable for usage in, for example, physical therapy. This paper aims to provide an initial assessment of this. We find that the pose estimation is highly dependent on the camera’s viewing angle as well as the performed exercise. While high accuracy can be achieved under optimal conditions, the accuracy quickly decreases when the conditions are less favourable.

Too precarious to walk: an integrated “three delays” framework for modeling barriers to maternal health care and birth registration among stateless persons and irregular migrants in Malaysia

Publisher: name: Springer International Publishing
Year: 2021

description: This study extends Thaddeus and Maine’s (1994) “three delays” framework to model the interrelated barriers to maternal health care and birth registration. We focus on stateless persons and irregular migrants, populations that are especially at risk of being “left behind” in United Nations member states’ efforts to “provide legal identity to all” as part of the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda. Drawing on qualitative fieldwork conducted in Sabah, Malaysia, we model delays in accessing maternal health care and birth registration as an integrated, cyclical process. We identify the political and legal barriers that stateless or migrant families confront while deciding to make institutional contact (Phase I), identifying and reaching health or registering institutions (Phase II), and receiving adequate and appropriate treatment (Phase III). We find that exclusion from one system raises the risk of exclusion from the other, resulting in a range of negative consequences, including increased health risks, governments’ impaired ability to monitor population health, and the perpetuation of intergenerational cycles of legal exclusion.

description: This study addresses pediatric hospital readmissions and emergency department (ED) visits, affecting 22% of children within one year of discharge. These acute medical events (AMEs) lead to emotional stress, missed school, and financial burdens for families. Existing literature lacks long-term follow-up, especially regarding caregiver-reported risks predicting future preventable events. The study aims to bridge this gap by examining preventable AMEs utilizing three methods of preventability (NYU ED Algorithm, ACSC, and Physician rating) over a one-year period. Specific aims include assessing caregiver-reported social risks and child medical status to predict AMEs, anticipating that factors like patient race, access to care, and familial factors will strongly influence outcomes.

Ageing in Wonderland
Creators: name: Jones, Nerina L.
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: ‘Ageing in Wonderland’ is an artefact and exegesis that explores the relationship between aging and technology. It consists of a novel with magic realist undertones titled ‘The Floating World’ which follows the journey of a forty-plus newly separated woman as she tries to make her way back into employment in the early 1980s. The exegesis investigates the way magic realism can be used to interrogate representations of technology, the role of technology and considers how we position ageing in our society. These elements combine to pose the research question of ‘how can we represent the relationship between aging, technoligarchy and women’s experience in times of technological change through fiction’.
PANDORA: A Parallel Dendrogram Construction Algorithm for Single Linkage Clustering on GPU

description: This paper presents \pandora, a novel parallel algorithm for efficiently constructing dendrograms for single-linkage hierarchical clustering, including \hdbscan. Traditional dendrogram construction methods from a minimum spanning tree (MST), such as agglomerative or divisive techniques, often fail to efficiently parallelize, especially with skewed dendrograms common in real-world data.
 \pandora addresses these challenges through a unique recursive tree contraction method, which simplifies the tree for initial dendrogram construction and then progressively reconstructs the complete dendrogram. This process makes \pandora asymptotically work-optimal, independent of dendrogram skewness. All steps in \pandora are fully parallel and suitable for massively threaded accelerators such as GPUs.
 Our implementation is written in Kokkos, providing support for both CPUs and multi-vendor GPUs (e.g., Nvidia, AMD). The multithreaded version of \pandora is 2.2$\times$ faster than the current best-multithreaded implementation, while the GPU \pandora implementation achieved 6-20$\times$ on \amdgpu and 10-37$\times$ on \nvidiagpu speed-up over multithreaded \pandora. These advancements lead to up to a 6-fold speedup for \hdbscan on GPUs over the current best, which only offload MST construction to GPUs and perform multithreaded dendrogram construction.

description: Astrocytes are important regulators of neuronal development and activity. Their activation plays a key role in the response to many central nervous system (CNS) pathologies. However, reactive astrocytes are a double-edged sword as their chronic or excessive activation may negatively impact CNS physiology, for example, via abnormal modulation of synaptogenesis and synapse function. Accordingly, astrocyte activation has been linked to neurodegenerative and neurodevelopmental disorders. Therefore, the attenuation of astrocyte activation may be an important approach for preventing and treating these disorders. Since zinc deficiency has been consistently linked to increased pro-inflammatory signaling, we aimed to identify cellular zinc-dependent signaling pathways that may lead to astrocyte activation using techniques such as immunocytochemistry and protein biochemistry to detect astrocyte GFAP expression, fluorescent imaging to detect oxidative stress levels in activated astrocytes, cytokine profiling, and analysis of primary neurons subjected to astrocyte secretomes. Our results reveal a so far not well-described pathway in astrocytes, the platelet activation factor receptor (PAFR) pathway, as a critical zinc-dependent signaling pathway that is sufficient to control astrocyte reactivity. Low zinc levels activate PAFR signaling-driven crosstalk between astrocytes and neurons, which alters excitatory synapse formation during development in a PAFR-dependent manner. We conclude that zinc is a crucial signaling ion involved in astrocyte activation and an important dietary factor that controls astrocytic pro-inflammatory processes. Thus, targeting zinc homeostasis may be an important approach in several neuroinflammatory conditions.

description: The paper presents a study on the existing low-rise unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings constructed in the period from 1945 to 1980 in Serbia and neighbouring countries in the Balkans. Buildings of this typology experienced damage in a few earthquakes in the region, including the 2010 Kraljevo, Serbia earthquake and the 2020 Petrinja, Croatia earthquake. The focus of the study is a seismic design approach for Simple masonry buildings according to Eurocode 8, Part 1, which is based on the minimum requirements for the total wall area relative to the floor plan area, which is referred to as Wall Index (WI) in this paper. Although the intention of Eurocode 8 is to use WI for design of new buildings, the authors believe that it could be also used for seismic assessment of existing masonry buildings in pre- and post-earthquake situations. A study on 23 URM buildings damaged in the 2010 Kraljevo, Serbia earthquake has been presented to examine a relationship between the WI and the extent of earthquake damage. Seismic evaluation of a typical 3-storey URM building damaged in the 2010 earthquake was performed according to the requirements of seismic design codes from the former Yugoslavia and Eurocode 8.

description: We propose a Lawson-time-splitting extended Fourier pseudospectral (LTSeFP) method for the numerical integration of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation with time-dependent potential that is of low regularity in space. For the spatial discretization of low regularity potential, we use an extended Fourier pseudospectral (eFP) method, i.e., we compute the discrete Fourier transform of the low regularity potential in an extended window. For the temporal discretization, to efficiently implement the eFP method for time-dependent low regularity potential, we combine the standard time-splitting method with a Lawson-type exponential integrator to integrate potential and nonlinearity differently. The LTSeFP method is both accurate and efficient: it achieves first-order convergence in time and optimal-order convergence in space in $L^2$-norm under low regularity potential, while the computational cost is comparable to the standard time-splitting Fourier pseudospectral method. Theoretically, we also prove such convergence orders for a large class of spatially low regularity time-dependent potential. Extensive numerical results are reported to confirm the error estimates and to demonstrate the superiority of our method.

description: The thesis focuses on the nature of cancer and seeks an optimal therapeutic approach. It attemptsi to model and simulate the . tumour-immune interactions, which illustrates the uncontrolled growth of tumour cells and their impact on immune system cells . as well as healthy cells. We showed the desirable effect of electromagnetic therapy and chemotherapy. The proposed model is able to simulate and predict the response of chemotherapy in patients with different levels of immune system strength. It is proved that less dosage of chemotherapy in more frequent injection sessions leads to more regression in tumour cells and less side-effects.

description: Conventional x-ray imaging is limited by the resolution of the x-ray camera. Fortunately, tiny grains, pores or fibres that are invisible in a normal x-ray image can scatter the x-rays, creating what is known as a “dark-field” signal. This thesis presents a new x-ray imaging technique that can measure the x-ray dark field. The technique can reveal the presence of these tiny structures and even the direction that the fibres or tubes lie in. This is advantageous in that the experimental setup is simple and can capture an x-ray dark-field movie, revealing micron-scale changes that are otherwise invisible.

description: An average of 12% of preschoolers receiving special education services require alternative and augmentative communication, yet AAC interventions are rarely initiated with toddlers early on during a critical period of early language development. Without timely intervention, children eligible for AAC are at risk for severe speech, language, and communication impairments which can impact their social-emotional, language, and literacy skills with persisting outcomes. Individualized, family-centered instruction can prepare caregivers to support AAC use and language learning at home. Incorporating caregivers’ preferences and addressing the challenges of using AAC with toddlers at home are crucial to successful uptake of early AAC interventions. Our goal for this study is to evaluate the acceptability of a hybrid telepractice AAC intervention by exploring caregivers’ perspectives and experiences regarding early intervention and AAC. Results from this study will inform aspects of a future intervention design.

description: Climate change and its consequences were never felt more than in recent years. Severe weather conditions are not only becoming more frequent but also more extreme. Political actors worldwide have recognised the dangers and problems related to climate change which has emerged as an issue on domestic policy agendas over the past 25 years. Climate change is a global, transboundary problem that requires national and international cooperation and agreements to tackle it. This might give political parties a decisive role in the fight against climate change if they can influence domestic and international policies and decide whether and how to combat climate change. This thesis asks: Do parties influence climate policy? And if so, under what conditions?The thesis explores the influence of government and opposition parties on climate policy and conditions that might moderate partisan influence, such as the government type (coalition and majority status), diverging preferences within the government and the opposition as well as the preferences of a second legislative chamber. In the first part it applies quantitative analysis methods on large-N panel data in the EU between 2003 and 2020. The quantitative analyses find evidence that government and opposition parties influence climate policy stringency, whereas such link cannot be found for climate policy density. They also reveal moderating effects of the government majority status on the partisan influence of government and opposition, whereas no other moderating effects – neither on government nor opposition partisan influence – could be detected. The subsequent case studies on two German majority governments (Schröder II and Merkel I) in the second part of the thesis provide an example for partisan influence and illustrate the moderating effect of preference homogeneity within the government as well as the preferences of a second legislative chamber. The findings of this thesis help to improve the understanding of the role of political parties in climate policymaking and emphasise the importance of political parties in influencing national climate policies.

description: The article addresses the complexities and risks associated with obstetric anesthesia, emphasizing its pivotal role in maternal care. Despite the advent of novel anesthetic techniques and the implementation of enhanced safety measures, obstetric anesthesia continues to present a formidable challenge, largely due to the presence of specific comorbidities, such as maternal obesity and advanced age. The study employs data from the National Institute of Statistics and Census (INEC) to examine the incidence of anesthetic complications in obstetric patients in Ecuador from 2018 to 2022. A total of 304 complications were recorded, with the highest number observed in 2019. The study demonstrates that complications are most prevalent during the puerperium, followed by labor, delivery, and pregnancy. The cohort most affected was women aged 25-34 years, with an average hospital stay of 2.8 days due to complications. The findings indicate that complications during labor and delivery result in longer hospital stays, which suggests that these events are severe. Furthermore, the study identifies a decline in complications from 2018 to 2021, which was followed by an increase in 2022. This increase may be attributed to alterations in medical care or external factors, such as the impact of the global pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The study underscores the necessity for continuous monitoring, staff training, and the formulation of targeted interventions to address the identified risks. However, the study's descriptive nature and reliance on retrospective data limit the ability to establish causal relationships, emphasizing the need for further research to enhance maternal and neonatal outcomes in obstetric anesthesia.

description: Objective: This prospective interventional randomised single-blinded comparative study aimed to evaluate the clinical efficacy of Ambu AuraGain™ and i-gel™ as supraglottic airway devices for controlled ventilation in paediatric patients undergoing elective surgical procedures under general anaesthesia.


Methods: The study included 80 children aged between 2 and 10 years, weighing between 10 to 30 kg, and classified as ASA Physical Status I and II. Children with anticipated difficult airways, high risk of aspiration, or respiratory tract infections were excluded. Participants were randomly assigned to either Group A (Ambu AuraGain™) or Group I (i-gel™). The primary outcome was the measurement of oropharyngeal seal pressure (OSP) at 5 and 10 minutes post device insertion. Secondary outcomes involved evaluating insertion characteristics, fiberoptic bronchoscope views, ventilatory parameters, hemodynamic variables, and complications.


Results: The mean OSP was significantly higher in the Group A compared to the Group I at 5 minutes (24.70±2.29 cmH2O vs. 23.65±3.14 cmH2O) and 10 minutes (26.48±2.53 cmH2O vs. 25.23±2.66 cmH2O). Group A also took significantly longer to achieve an effective airway. The initial success rate, insertion features, and gastric tube insertion showed no significant differences between the groups. Fiberoptic bronchoscope view scores differed significantly, favouring Ambu AuraGain™. Ventilatory parameters, hemodynamic variables, and postoperative pharyngolaryngeal morbidity did not show any significant differences between the two groups.


Conclusion: Ambu AuraGain™ could be a preferable option for controlled ventilation in the paediatric patients undergoing elective surgery under general anaesthesia compared to i-gel™. However, additional research is required to confirm these findings and investigate other clinical factors.
