Veganism at the bottom of the world: a case study of vegan communities in the South Island of New Zealand Aotearoa
Creators: name: Bojovic, Milena

Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: The world has entered a new geological epoch, known as the Anthropocene, which is characterised by human-induced deforestation, biodiversity loss and climate changes on a planetary scale (Steffen, Crutzen and McNeill 2007). This is a time where human activity has been likened to the great forces of nature, contributing to changes in the atmosphere, water, land and affecting all living things. Industrial animal agriculture is one of these human activities causing harm to the environment, humans and non-human others. My research explores what the practice of veganism has to offer in terms of moving away from intensive animal agriculture towards more ethical and resilient futures. Using a case study approach, I investigate three vegan societies in the South Island of New Zealand Aotearoa, the Christchurch Vegan Society, Dunedin-Otepoti Vegan Society, and the Invercargill Vegan Society. The South Island was chosen for the geographical and historical significance of animal agricultural industries in the region. My methods included interviews and discussion groups with members of the vegan communities, as well as participant observation of vegan potlucks. To frame my research, I draw upon ecofeminist approaches to explore care ethics and Gibson-Graham's (2013) community economies framework -- abstract.

description: Off-diagonal Aubry-André (AA) model has recently attracted a great deal of attention as they provide condensed matter realization of topological phases. We numerically study a generalized off-diagonal AA model with p-wave superfluid pairing in the presence of both commensurate and incommensurate hopping modulations. The phase diagram as functions of the modulation strength of incommensurate hopping and the strength of the p-wave pairing is obtained by using the multifractal analysis. We show that with the appearance of the p-wave pairing, the system exhibits mobility-edge phases and critical phases with various number of topologically protected zero-energy modes. Predicted topological nature of these exotic phases can be realized in a cold atomic system of incommensurate bichromatic optical lattice with induced p-wave superfluid pairing by using a Raman laser in proximity to a molecular Bose-Einstein condensation.

Australia’s quest for the bionic eye: barriers to innovation
Creators: name: Dayton, Leigh

Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: It is a goal of successive Australian governments to develop an internationally competitive knowledge-based innovation system for the 21st century. Yet despite the fact that Australia produces its share of the world’s scientific articles, in proportion to its population, and the existence of high-profile biomedical success stories such as Resmed’s devices for sleep disorders, Cochlear’s bionic ear and the Gardasil vaccine against human papillomavirus and cervical cancer, the effectiveness of national innovation is low when compared to other developed countries. The principle aim of this research is to derive new insight into the complex, often messy process driving the development of Australian biomedical and scientific technologies. While it takes a system-wide theoretical approach, it focuses on the “middle-ground” between fundamental science and final-stage commercialisation, using the bionic eye initiative as an extended case study. In the first part of the thesis, I review texts and archival documents pertaining to Australia’s innovation system policy, keeping in mind the National Innovation Systems framework. But in order to understand the drivers and dynamics of the system, it is necessary to view innovation from the participants’ perspectives. Following ethics approval, I recruited and interviewed 29 participants in the Australian Research Council’s Research in Bionic Vision Science and Technology initiative, announced in 2009 and funded over 5 years. Using this mixed methodology, the study explores the interpersonal, political, cultural and organisational factors influencing innovation, as well as identifying possible points of intervention for governmental policy makers and leaders managing emerging fields of complex scientific and biomedical research. Key recommendations address identified barriers to innovation.
Rate-Distortion Region of a Gray-Wyner Model with Side Information

Subjects: subject: Information Theory (cs.IT)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: In this work, we establish a full single-letter characterization of the rate-distortion region of an instance of the Gray-Wyner model with side information at the decoders. Specifically, in this model an encoder observes a pair of memoryless, arbitrarily correlated, sources $(S^n_1,S^n_2)$ and communicates with two receivers over an error-free rate-limited link of capacity $R_0$, as well as error-free rate-limited individual links of capacities $R_1$ to the first receiver and $R_2$ to the second receiver. Both receivers reproduce the source component $S^n_2$ losslessly; and Receiver $1$ also reproduces the source component $S^n_1$ lossily, to within some prescribed fidelity level $D_1$. Also, Receiver $1$ and Receiver $2$ are equipped respectively with memoryless side information sequences $Y^n_1$ and $Y^n_2$. Important in this setup, the side information sequences are arbitrarily correlated among them, and with the source pair $(S^n_1,S^n_2)$; and are not assumed to exhibit any particular ordering. Furthermore, by specializing the main result to two Heegard-Berger models with successive refinement and scalable coding, we shed light on the roles of the common and private descriptions that the encoder should produce and what they should carry optimally. We develop intuitions by analyzing the developed single-letter optimal rate-distortion regions of these models, and discuss some insightful binary examples.

description: Tracking the impact of shared research infrastructures and facilities is a tough problem. ORCID and the US DOE have presented at previous PIDapaloozas on their work to tie access to infrastructures to people. SURF has developed a concept that tries to go beyond this, to create a richer picture of the links between researchers, funders and facilities. The SURF infrastructure ID concept uses three linked IDs: ORCID, Crossref’s Grant ID, and ARDC’s Research Activity ID (RAiD). In this approach, we leverage the unique features of each of these three ID systems, and show how they interact to provide a flexible, scalable solution for Dutch national supercomputer resources. Access to these resources is allocated as a form a research funding. Tying these PID systems into existing workflows, and linking them up to established reporting workflows (which themselves leverage PIDs like DOIs for outputs) delivers significantly improved capacity to monitor/evaluate infrastructure utilization and find associated research outcomes. In this presentation, we outline a range of PID-optimized workflows which are enabled by our core synergy, and show they in turn use other other PIDs to enable more efficient, accurate and timely monitoring, reporting, and evaluation.

 How would you run the session to support the spirit of PIDapalooza as a laid-back, welcoming, energetic and exciting meeting, and ensure at least 10 minutes of your session are used to interact with the audience?

 We'll keep it short and focussed, and we'll have plants in the audience from other countries who are tackling the same problem (Australia, the UK and the US) who will challenge us on what we did and how it compares to their approaches. That will open it right up to be a whole-audience debate about how combining different PID systems can be done effectively in differing contexts, and will guarantee that it won't just be two guys droning on in front of some slides.

The Influence of ethnic identity and construal of self on whistleblowing judgments in a multi-ethnic country: the case of Kenya

Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: This thesis examines the influence of ethnic identity and construal of self on whistleblowing judgments of auditors in a multi-ethnic country, Kenya, in which strong loyalties within ethnic groups exist. In order to assess Kenyan auditors‘ whistleblowing judgments, this thesis used both single-item questions and the Multidimensional Ethics Measure developed by Reidenbach and Robin (1988, 1990). The influences of ethnic identity and construal of self were determined utilising the Multigroup Ethnic Identity Measure developed by Phinney (1992) and Roberts et al. (1999) and the Self-Construal Questionnaire developed by Singelis (1994). The findings suggest that one‘s sense of self as a member of an ethnic group cannot be ignored in an auditing context. Specifically, Multivariate Analysis of Variance results indicate that ethnic identity is significantly related to auditors‘ whistleblowing judgments; however, construal of self only has a partial influence. This has implications for the composition of audit teams. The results suggest that the influence of ethnic identity on whistleblowing in Kenya may be mitigated if audit teams comprise auditors from diverse ethnic backgrounds. This thesis makes a methodological contribution by showing that the constructs of construal of self and ethnic identity provide a more comprehensive understanding on how ethnicity influences whistleblowing judgments compared to treating ethnicity as a simple categorical variable.
Structural characterization of carbon nanotubes via the vibrational density of states

description: The electrical and chemical properties of carbon nanotubes vary significantly with different chirality and diameter, making the experimental determination of these structural properties important. Here, we show that the vibrational density of states (VDOS) contains information on the structure of carbon nanotubes, particularly at low frequencies. We show that the diameter and chirality of the nanotubes can be determined from the characteristic low frequency $L$ and $L'$ modes in the VDOS. For zigzag nanotubes, the $L$ peak splits into two peaks giving rise to another low energy $L"$ peak. The significant changes in the frequencies and relative intensities of these peaks open up a route to distinguish among structurally different nanotubes. A close study of different orientations of Stone-Wales defects with varying defect density reveals that different structural defects also leave distinct fingerprints in the VDOS, particularly in the $L$ and $L'$ modes. With our results, more structural information can be obtained from experiments which can directly measure the VDOS, such as inelastic electron and inelastic neutron spectroscopy.

The antifungal defences of Australian Acacia thrips
Creators: name: Coates, Peterson Jacob
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Social living exposes organisms to an increased risk of pathogen infection, a risk that is amplified in social insects due to several life history traits, including high population densities within colonies and high relatedness between individuals. To offset disease risk, social insects have developed specialized antimicrobial defences. The Australian Acacia thrips, a model lineage for the study of eusocial evolution, vary greatly in their life history traits, and thus provide an excellent model system to investigate how disease mitigation measures might vary in accordance with species-level characteristics, and across developmental stages for particular species. Previous studies have already described links between antimicrobial production and increasing social complexity in the thrips, but much of the basic biology surrounding this antimicrobial defence remains unknown. This thesis aims to increase our knowledge of antimicrobial production in the Acacia thrips by describing the source and structure of their antifungals, testing whether group-size and colony maturity affect antifungal strength, and by characterising antifungal production for different castes. The research presented here provides important basic information on how Acacia thrips defend against entomopathogenic fungi, and may be useful in future comparative analysis focusing on how these antifungal defences are tied to the evolution of sociality.
Mechanistic complexity economics: a methodological framework for economic science

description: The central argument of this thesis is that economic science requires a methodological reorientation in order to realign with contemporary philosophy of science. This is argued with reference to both the the history of general philosophy of science - in particular the literatures on scientific explanation and the structure of scientific theories - and the history of the methodology of economics. It is also argued that the heterodox school of economic thought, known as complexity economics, offers a valid basis for achieving such a reorientation.

description: The European X-ray Free Electron Laser (XFEL.EU) will provide every 0.1 s a train of 2700 spatially coherent ultrashort X-ray pulses at 4.5 MHz repetition rate. The Small Quantum Systems (SQS) instrument and the Spectroscopy and Coherent Scattering instrument (SCS) operate with soft X-rays between 0.5 keV - 6keV. The DEPFET Sensor with Signal Compression (DSSC) detector is being developed to meet the requirements set by these two XFEL.EU instruments. The DSSC imager is a 1 mega-pixel camera able to store up to 800 single-pulse images per train. The so-called ladder is the basic unit of the DSSC detector. It is the single unit out of sixteen identical-units composing the DSSC-megapixel camera, containing all representative electronic components of the full-size system and allows testing the full electronic chain. Each DSSC ladder has a focal plane sensor with 128 x 512 pixels. The read-out ASIC provides full-parallel readout of the sensor pixels. Every read-out channel contains an amplifier and an analog filter, an up-to 9 bit ADC and the digital memory. The ASIC amplifier have a double front-end to allow one to use either DEPFET sensors or Mini-SDD sensors. In the first case, the signal compression is a characteristic intrinsic of the sensor; in the second case, the compression is implemented at the first amplification stage. The goal of signal compression is to meet the requirement of single-photon detection capability and wide dynamic range. We present the first results of measurements obtained using a 64 x 64 pixel DEPFET sensor attached to the full final electronic and data-acquisition chain.

description: Motivated by the recent discoveries of some compounds such as the $\mathrm{Bi}_{2}\mathrm{Fe}_{4}\mathrm{O}_{9}$ which crystallizes in an orthorhombic crystal structure with the $\mathrm{Fe}^{3+}$ ions, and iron-based oxyfluoride ${\rm Bi}_{4}{\rm Fe}_{5}{\rm O}_{13}{\rm F}$ compounds following the pattern of Cairo pentagonal structure, among some other compounds. We propose a model for one stripe of the Cairo pentagonal Ising-Heisenberg lattice, one of the edges of a pentagon is different, and this edge will be associated with a Heisenberg exchange interaction, while the Ising exchange interactions will associate the other edges. We study the phase transition at zero temperature, illustrating five phases: a ferromagnetic phase (FM), a dimer antiferromagnetic (DAF), a plaquette antiferromagnetic (PAF), a typical antiferromagnetic (AFM) and a peculiar frustrated phase (FRU) where two types of frustrated states with the same energy coexist. To obtain the partition function of this model, we use the transfer matrix approach and following the eight vertex model notation. Using this result we discuss the specific heat, internal energy and entropy as a function of the temperature, and we can observe some unexpected behavior in the low-temperature limit, such as anomalous double peak in specific heat due to the existence of three phase (FRU, PAF(AFM) and FM) transitions occurring in a close region to each other. Consequently, the low-lying energy thermal excitation generates this double anomalous peak, and we also discuss the internal energy at the low temperature limit, where this double peak curve occurs. Some properties of our result were compared with two dimensional Cairo pentagonal lattices, as well as orthogonal dimer plaquette Ising-Heisenberg chain.

description: Interest in Management Intensive Grazing (MIG) [a situation where grazing animals are moved to a fresh pasture every few days in order to have access to adequate forage] practices by farmers have increased steadily over the years. Many research publications on grazing advocate the financial and environmental benefits of grazing. Understanding the challenges of MIG can be an important piece of information for a dairy farmer. A survey was conducted to determine how farmers in the southeastern region perceive the barriers to the adoption of MIG. A greater percentage of MIG southeastern farmers were satisfied or very satisfied with their farm profit level compared to other practices. However, the amount of work to start pasture management, and the lack of on-farm technical assistance were barriers for many MIG operations.

description: Heavy metal contamination is a major anthropogenic challenge in communities with heavy presence of chemical industries. Most of the contamination is due to the improper disposal of chemical waste. The study involved the evaluation of the levels of arsenic and lead regarding remediation activities carried out by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). It compared the results of the EPA’s 1993 soil analysis of arsenic and lead, and a subsequent soil analysis of the same mapped areas. It also covered the evaluation of the level of arsenic dust in the attics of residential properties and evaluation of the EPA’s record of testing of arsenic-exposed residents of Fort Valley, Georgia. The results revealed that there is a high level of arsenic still present in the mapped areas cleaned by EPA. Therefore, there is a need for continuous monitoring of health status of the people who live in the affected area.

Out of the shadows: fostering creativity in pre service teachers in creative arts programs

Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: This is an interdisciplinary research project, drawing on theories in arts-based inquiry, psychology, early childhood and primary education. Significant reforms have occurred with the introduction of the first national Australian Curriculum, particularly in the key learning area of visual and creative arts education. Recent research shows contemporary 21st century pedagogical goals need to focus on developing critical and creative skills in primary school children however; limited research has been conducted in preparing pre-service teachers to foster creative thinking skills in children. Moreover, Australian government schools are limited in the resources they provide to support arts instruction (Barton & Baguley, 2013). However, recent global research shows that Arts education in the 21st century should be focusing on transforming knowledge, skills and building creative capacities for new global intercultural learning communities (Ewing, 2011). This doctoral thesis ‘Out of the Shadows’ is designed for arts educators to understand the current challenges in teacher education and suggests creative solutions for the future. This research examines pre-service teachers’ implicit beliefs and attitudes towards their own creative capabilities and develops new teacher strategies in arts based inquiry to use in the classroom. This is a thesis by publication constructed around six different publications and the bridging components are the introduction, literature review, methodology, interpretations and analysis of the findings. This research is the result of a four-year research project that focuses on the different perspectives and artistic experiences of pre-service teachers. This mixed-method study was conducted at a Sydney-based university with 350 third and fourth (final) year pre-service teachers studying in the primary degree program. This arts-based inquiry research expands the imagination and raises important questions about the diverse ways that critical and creative thinking can be defined and experienced in higher education. It investigates a deeper understanding of the inter-relationship between art, culture and creativity. The researcher argues that employing a socio-cultural approach and using a theoretical framework that includes five levels of creativity applied in teacher education will develop dispositions of creativity, such as flexibility, mindfulness, visualisation, avoidance of premature closure in decision-making and a willingness to risk take. Without these attitudes to life creativity is not likely to occur. This doctoral research is a thoughtful and rich investigation that has much to offer tertiary editors, teachers, principals and the wider community.

description: Background: Many potential prognostic factors for predicting kidney transplantation outcomes have been identified. However, in Switzerland no widely accepted prognostic model or risk score for transplantation outcomes is being routinely used in clinical practice yet. We aim to develop three prediction models for the prognosis of graft survival, quality of life and graft function following transplantation in Switzerland. Methods: The clinical prediction models are developed with data from a national multi-centre cohort study (Swiss Transplant Cohort Study; STCS) and the Swiss Organ Allocation System (SOAS). The primary outcome is kidney graft survival (censored for death of recipient); the secondary outcomes are quality of life (patient-reported health status) at 12-months and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) slope. Organ donor, transplantation, and recipient-related clinical information will be used as predictors at the time of organ allocation. We will use a Cox model and linear mixed-effects models for the primary and the two secondary out-comes, respectively. Model optimism, calibration, discrimination and heterogeneity between transplant centres will be assessed using bootstrapping, internal-external cross-validation and methods from meta-analysis. Discussion: Thorough evaluation of existing risk scores for kidney graft survival or patient-reported outcomes has been lacking in the Swiss transplant setting. In order to be useful in clinical practice, a prognostic score need to be valid, reliable, clinically relevant and, preferably integrated into the decision-making process to improve long-term patient outcomes and support informed decisions for clinicians and their patients. State-of-the-art methodology and best practice in prediction modelling are applied to data from a nationwide prospective multi-centre cohort study. Ideally, healthcare providers together with patients can predetermine the risk they are willing to accept from a deceased-donor kidney, with graft survival, quality-of-life and graft function estimates available for their consideration.

description: Supernova remnants (SNRs) are diffuse extended sources characterized by a complex morphology and a non-uniform distribution of ejecta. Such a morphology reflects pristine structures and features of the progenitor supernova (SN) and the early interaction of the SN blast wave with the inhomogeneous circumstellar medium (CSM). Deciphering the observations of SNRs might open the possibility to investigate the physical properties of both the interacting ejecta and the shocked CSM. This requires accurate numerical models which describe the evolution from the SN explosion to the remnant development and which connect the emission properties of the remnants to the progenitor SNe. Here we show how multi-dimensional SN-SNR hydrodynamic models have been very effective in deciphering observations of SNR Cassiopeia A and SN 1987A, thus unveiling the structure of ejecta in the immediate aftermath of the SN explosion and constraining the 3D pre-supernova structure and geometry of the environment surrounding the progenitor SN.

description: This thesis is a re-telling of a research story. It is a re-telling in which I am concerned with the politics of the representations made in research stories, and with the relationships between the stories we tell and what is (re)produced in our embodied (research and other) relationships. Initially conceived within a programme evaluation of an Aboriginal community-owned and managed drug and alcohol rehabilitation centre, the thesis was quickened by a music workshop that took place there and that constitutes a critical moment in the retelling of the research: a moment of turning back and looking towards what had gone before. Before any story of the research is a story about historical relations between psychology and Indigenous Australians; about histories of and to existing fictions of terra nullius. How to tell a story of the research in ways that account for the pre-existing political relationships upon which the research depends? How to account for the position of dominant white cultural assumptions - the position traditionally privileged within research narratives and existing fictions of terra nullius more generally? In the context of this thesis I treat these questions as theoretical and methodological. Theoretical because their address requires a different conceptualisation of a subject to the humanist, materialist 'self' that dominates discourses of psychology. Methodological because the English language and prevailing narrative forms of research in psychology predispose towards a reproduction of that subject and a reproduction of privileged epistemologies in terra nullius. Read through Positioning Theory, and drawing on work in other (including literary) fields, I develop Autoethnography as textual strategy through which I hope to enable different ways of talking/ways of talking that enable different modes of being. Adopting a polyphonic mode of representation (e.g. recorded songs, poetry, letters, and more traditional academic narratives) I interrupt the prevailing 'voice' of psychology and trace political relationships and the influences of positioning within those that a traditional monologue would obscure. From an epistemological standpoint that articulates a reciprocal relationship between discursive performance and embodied relationships, inasmuch as this thesis contributes to theoretical and methodological conversations in psychology, it therefore also constitutes an intervention into repeated citations of terra nullius in the stories we tell by reformulating the speaking position of the dominant white cultural assumptions in the telling -- abstract.

description: The continuous packing of a flexible rod in two-dimensional cavities yields a countable set of interacting domains that resembles non-equilibrium cellular systems and belongs to a new class of light-weight material. However, the link between the length of the rod and the number of domains requires investigation especially in the case of non-simply connected cavities, where the number of avoided regions emulates an effective topological temperature. In the present article we report the results of an experiment of injection of a single flexible rod into annular cavities in order to find the total length needed to insert a given number of loops (domains of one vertex). Using an exponential model to describe the experimental data we quite minutely analyze the initial conditions, the intermediary behavior, and the tight-packing limit. This method allows the observation of a new fluctuation phenomenon associated with instabilities in the dynamic evolution of the packing process. Furthermore, the fractal dimension of the global pattern enters the discussion under a novel point of view. A comparison with the classical problems of the random close packing of disks, and jammed disk packings is made.

description: Browse (shrubs, trees, and vines) species are important sources of feed for small ruminants in Alabama and many other states of the U.S. Information on the production period of these species is important to prepare a year-round grazing plan to utilize them well. The objective of the study was to determine the leaf-shedding time of common browse species suitable for small ruminants. This study was conducted at the Atkins Agroforestry and Browse Research and Demonstration Site of Tuskegee University, Alabama. Ten samples of each browse species were tagged, and leafyellowing and leaf-fall data collected using photoplots every 14 days until all leaves were shed. Out of 31 species studied, four were early shedders and four were evergreen species. The variation in leaf-shedding time among browse species can be useful for selecting suitable species to incorporate into the grazing systems and utilizing them well.

Causes and consequences of colour variation in Tectocoris diophthalmus (Heteroptera: Scutelleridae)

description: Aposematism, the pairing of conspicuous signals with unpalatability in potential prey, is suggested by theory and empirical evidence to be under frequency-based selection for uniformity and maximal conspicuousness. However, this is often not the case in nature, and variation in warning colouration is not uncommon. Studies have generally looked at this paradox from one of two perspectives: the sender's physiological trade-offs, or the receiver's (predators) visual physiology and psychology. Here we consider both perspectives simultaneously, using the highly variable Hibiscus Harlequin Bug, Tectocoris diophthalmus (Heteroptera: Scutelleridae). This shieldback stinkbug has an orange base colour and highly reflectant blue-green iridescent patches that range in size from absent to entirely covering the dorsal surface. First, I critically examined the role of arthropod taxa in aposematism studies, and highlight the valuable contributions to the field further experimentation can make. Then I examined the sender's colour production mechanisms, to identify sources of variation and potential physiological trade-offs. Next I surveyed intra and inter-population variation, to model and empirically test the influence of environmental factors on patterns of variation. Then I tested sensitivity to chemical defences of multiple ecologically-relevant predators, and assayed two disparate taxa (a passerine bird and praying mantid) for their behavioural responses to colour variation, to determine how they may be selecting for or against maintaining variation. In conclusion, colouration in T. diophthalmus is a complex, phenotypically plastic trait under multiple selective drivers to create and maintain variation. By looking at the perspective of both sender and multiple receivers, we now have a more complete, cohesive, and holistic understanding of intraspecific variation of warning colouration in this species.
