Sustainable synthesis of heteroatom doped porous carbon nanosheets for high-performance supercapacitor application
Creators: name: Gopalakrishnan, Arthi
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: With the increasing consumption of fossil fuels, the demand in developing inexpensive and renewable energy systems have become a prime factor worldwide. Supercapacitors have gained immense attention due to their porous electrode material derived from biomass waste. But still, it could not attain energy density of >10 Whkg-1. This thesis details the simple synthesis techniques to yield highly porous and doped carbon from biomass precursors (ginger root and Acorn nutshell) towards fabricating high-performance aqueous supercapacitor devices. It also demonstrates on how the Acorn nutshell derived carbon device with 17 Whkg-1 could power up diode indicators up to 3.5 V.

Molecular investigation into brachydactyly type A1
Creators: name: McCready, Mary Elizabeth
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Biology, Genetics.

description: Brachydactyly type A1 (BDA1) is a rare, autosomal-dominant genetic trait that affects normal limb and bone development, resulting in short or absent middle halan es. Despite being the first human trait described in terms of autosomal dominant Mendelian inheritance, the underlying molecular cause had not been examined until relatively recently. In 2001, mutations of the Indian Hedgehog (IHH) gene were identified in three Chinese families with BDA1. Preliminary studies in our laboratory further demonstrated linkage of BDA1 to chromosome 5p in a Canadian kindred with a mild variant of the trait. The goal of this thesis was to characterize the BDA1 locus on chromosome 5 by reducing the critical region and examining the transcribed portions of candidate genes for mutations. To reduce the chromosome 5p critical region in the Canadian kindred, 23 microsatellite markers were examined and the number of family members analyzed was increased to include 22 affected and 16 unaffected individuals. By doing so, we defined a 7 cM (3.03 Mb) critical region flanked by the recombinant markers D5S1986 and D5S426. Fifteen candidate genes within the region were examined for mutations, however none were identified. Further characterization of the chromosome 5p critical region was made by recruiting twelve additional families into the study. Of the twelve families, five had a G → A transition at codon 100 of the IHH gene. The mutation causes an aspartate to asparagine amino acid substitution and supports a role for IHH in normal bone development. Linkage analysis to chromosome 5 in two other pedigrees indicated that the trait was not linked to this locus in these families, and provided further support for genetic heterogeneity underlying the aetiology of BDA1. IHH mutations were not found in the remaining five families, thus increasing the likelihood that the chromosome 5 locus is involved in these pedigrees. Linkage could not be established in these families, however, since the trait was sporadic, and not familial. Identification of additional BDA1 families in which the trait is linked to chromosome 5, and further mutational analysis will be required to identify the gene from chromosome 5p that causes BDA1.

Characterization of a TCE-contaminated aquifer using tritium-helium dating and geochemical tracers, Valcartier, Quebec, Canada

description: The groundwater supply in the Valcartier area of Quebec is contaminated with trichloroethylene (TCE) from multiple sources, and hydrogeologic characterization is being carried out to understand its origin and migration patterns. A geochemical investigation was undertaken to independently verify groundwater flow and TCE transport in Valcartier groundwater to improve a numerical model that is currently being developed. 3H-3He ages were obtained along flow paths stemming from two main source zones and compared with advective model ages produced at corresponding locations. Ages obtained above and below a prodeltaic silty aquitard in the eastern part of the study area were used to calculate an average vertical hydraulic conductivity (Kv) of 1.3-3.1x10-8 m/s. 3H-3He ages were compared with modelled ages at different values of porosity (n) and recharge; the bestcorrespondence was found to be at 0.35 and 300 mm/yr, respectively. Anomalously high concentrations of terrigenic He and unexpectedly old 3H-3He ages in some areas indicate areas where groundwater in the underlying proglacial aquifer may flow upward into the deltaic sand aquifer. Geochemical parameters measured in groundwater along the flow paths as well as in Shannon and in the proglacial aquifer were examined for patterns. Multivariate statistics (Principal components analysis and cluster analyses) were applied to the data to distinguish different types of groundwater; the geochemistry of each group reflects recharge origin and lithology encountered. The groups verify flow paths delineated by the groundwater model, and help distinguish groundwater of different origins downgradient of source zones. One facies in particular is associated with high TCE concentrations and occurs where groundwater upflow from the proglacial aquifer in Shannon inferred from the 3H-3He data. This appears to be TCE coming from a previously unrecognized source in the south part of the study area, possibly an old bedrock dump. This study demonstrates the value of integrating geochemical information in groundwater characterization programs with existing information to refine the understanding of groundwater flow, especially in the development of numerical models.

description: Background In the present study, we evaluated relationships between serum biomarkers and clinical/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings in golimumab-treated patients with ankylosing spondylitis. Methods In the GO- RAISE study, 356 patients with ankylosing spondylitis randomly received either placebo (n = 78) or golimumab 50 mg or 100 mg (n = 278) injections every 4 weeks through week 24 (placebo-controlled); patients continuing GO-RAISE received golimumab through week 252. Up to 139/125 patients had sera collected for biomarkers/serial spine MRI scans (sagittal plane, 1.5-T scanner). Two blinded readers employed modified ankylosing spondylitis spine magnetic resonance imaging score for activity (ASspiMRI-a) and ankylosing spondylitis spine magnetic resonance imaging score for chronicity. Spearman correlations (r s) were assessed between serum biomarkers (n = 73) and Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI), C-reactive-protein (CRP)-based Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Score (ASDAS), modified Stokes Ankylosing Spondylitis Spine Score (mSASSS), and ASspiMRI scores. Serum biomarkers predicting postbaseline spinal fatty lesion development and inflammation were analyzed by logistic regression. Results Significant, moderately strong correlations were observed between baseline inflammatory markers interleukin (IL)-6, intracellular adhesion molecule-1, complement component 3 (C3), CRP, haptoglobin, and serum amyloid-P and baseline ASDAS (r s = 0.39–0.66, p ≤ 0.01). Only baseline leptin significantly correlated with ASDAS improvement at week 104 (r s = 0.55, p = 0.040), and only baseline IL-6 significantly predicted mSASSS week 104 change (β = 0.236, SE = 0.073, p = 0.002, model R 2 = 0.093). By logistic regression, baseline leptin, C3, and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase (TIMP)-1 correlated with new fatty lesions per spinal MRI at week 14 and week 104 (both p

description: Background: Tumor recurrence is one of the major challenges in clinical management of chordoma. Despite R0- resection, approximately 50% of chordomas recur within ten years after initial surgery. The underlying molecular processes are poorly understood resulting in the lack of associated therapeutic options. This is not least due to the absence of appropriate cell culture models of this orphan disease. Methods: The intra-personal progression model cell lines U-CH11 and U-CH11R were compared using array comparative genomic hybridization, expression arrays, RNA-seq, and immunocytochemistry. Cell line origin was confirmed by short tandem repeat analysis. Inter-personal cell culture models (n = 6) were examined to validate whether the new model is representative. Cell viability after HOX/PBX complex inhibition with small peptides was determined by MTS assays. Results: Using whole genome microarray analyses, striking differences in gene expression between primary and recurrent chordomas were identified. These expression differences were confirmed in the world’s first intra-personal model of chordoma relapse consisting of cell lines established from a primary (U-CH11) and the corresponding recurrent tumor (U-CH11R). Array comparative genomic hybridization and RNA-sequencing analyses revealed profound genetic similarities between both cell lines pointing to transcriptomic reprogramming as a key mechanism of chordoma progression. Network analysis of the recurrence specific genes highlighted HOX/PBX signaling as a common dysregulated event. Hence, HOX/PBX complexes were used as so far unknown therapeutic targets in recurrent chordomas. Treating chordoma cell lines with the complex formation inhibiting peptide HXR9 induced cFOS mediated apoptosis in all chordoma cell lines tested. This effect was significantly stronger in cell lines established from chordoma relapses. Conclusion: Clearly differing gene expression patterns and vulnerabilities to HOX/PBX complex inhibition in highly therapy resistant chordoma relapses were identified using the first intra-personal loco-regional and further interpersonal chordoma progression models. For the first time, HOX/PBX interference was used to induce cell death in chordoma and might serve as the basic concept of an upcoming targeted therapy for chordomas of all progression stages.

Synthesis of Hierarchical Transition Metal Chalcogenide Nanostructures for High-Performance Energy Storage Applications
Creators: name: Nguyen, Thanh Tuan
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The transition metal chalcogenide nanostructures have been studied and established for positive electrodes of supercapacitors and batteries by different preparation methods such as hydrothermal, ion-exchange, chemical vapor deposition, and electrodeposition. By controlling the interfacial reactions between the electrodes and electrolytes, the enhancement of energy storage capability has been investigated. In addition, the bimetallic alloys could provide a synergistic effect, electronic configuration and improve electrochemical activity. Furthermore, to avoid the leakage of liquid electrolytes, the all-solid-state devices have been fabricated and investigated the performance, which exhibited high energy/power densities, long cycling stability with flexible and wearable capability.
Molecular evolution of the RNA polymerase genes and the phylogeny of seed plants

description: This work is a union of molecular biology and evolutionary biology in addressing questions regarding the evolution of organisms and their genes. This project focuses on major groups of seed plants (angiosperms, and four gymnosperms groups: conifers, cycads, Ginkgo and Gnetales). These organisms diverged roughly three hundred million years ago and evolved independently since then. Therefore, morphological characters have limited power in resolving their phylogeny. With the advancement of molecular methods, sequences of genes have been widely used in addressing evolutionary relationships. Plant molecular phylogenies have been traditionally done using chloroplast gene rbcL and nuclear rRNA genes. While these molecular markers revolutionized plant systematics, they do not contain enough phylogenetic information to resolve the phylogeny of seed plants. I used normalized splits, as a measure from spectral analysis, in examining data sets and identifying genes and sites within genes that are more reliable for building phylogenies and combining data sets. I used the genes encoding the largest subunit of RNA polymerase I, II and III (rpa1, rpb1 and rpc1, respectively) as a new line of evidence from the nuclear genome to address seed plant phylogeny. These protein-coding genes refute the Anthophyte hypothesis (which relates Gnetales and angiosperms) and support the Gnepines hypothesis (which places Gnetales within conifers as a sister group to Pinaceae). I also examined other available data sets from chloroplast, mitochondrial and 18S rRNA genes. A combined data set of RNA polymerases and seven other genes strongly support the Gnepines hypothesis. Other branches of seed plant phylogeny are also well supported using this data set. Angiosperms and gymnosperms form monophyletic groups, cycads are at the base of gymnosperms, followed by Ginkgo and a branch leading to conifers and Gnetales. I also studied the rate and pattern of molecular evolution of rpa1, rpb1 and rpc1 genes. A gene phylogeny of these genes strongly support that they share a common ancestor and that rpb1 and rpc1 are closer to one another than either are to rpa1. The pattern of functional constraint in these genes clearly follows known structural properties of the RNA polymerases. Evolutionary rate analyses show that rpa1 evolves more rapidly at non-synonymous sites and at the amino acid level, followed by rpc1 and rpb1. Interestingly, the evolutionary rate of these genes (and the proteins they encode) is positively related to the amount of concerted evolution in the genes transcribed by each RNA polymerase. This suggests a possible impact of concerted evolution (generated by recombination) on the molecular evolution of the largest subunit of RNA polymerases.

description: Die Verkehrsleistungen des Straßengüterverkehrs sind in Deutschland in den letzten Jahren stark gestiegen. Die schweren Nutzfahrzeuge (SNF) machen heute ca. 27 % der CO2-Emissionen des Verkehrs aus. Im Zuge der Prognosen weiter wachsender Güterverkehre hat die EU-Kommission bereits im Jahr 2014 eine Strategie zu Reduktion der CO2-Emissionen von SNF veröffentlicht. Die Politik hat bisher jedoch nur wenige Maßnahmen zur Umsetzung dieser Strategie eingeführt.In der vorliegenden Studie wird untersucht, welche potenziellen Instrumente zur Einführung von CO2-Minderungstechnologien für SNF der Politik zur Verfügung stehen und wie diese ausgestaltet werden können. Dies beinhaltet die Einführung von CO2-Flottengrenzwerten für neue SNF in der EU sowie unterstützende Maßnahmen, z. B. ein Förderprogramm für die Anschaffung effizienter SNF, eine Umstellung der Mautgebühren auf CO2-Klassen, Effizienzlabels für Einzelkomponenten und weitere. Zur Erfüllung der Klimaziele sollten SNF ab dem Jahr 2020 bis 2030 Verbrauchsreduktionen von ca. 3 % pro Jahr umsetzen. Parallel zur Einführung politischer Maßnahmen hat daher die Weiterentwicklung der CO2-Zertifizierung für SNF mit dem Modell VECTO hohe Relevanz. Insbesondere sollte die Einbeziehung von Effizienztechnologien für Sattel-Auflieger und alternative Antriebe in VECTO zeitnah realisiert werden.

An enduring inequality? Investigating the persistence of housign insecuirty for older women
Creators: name: Brent-Houghton, Mandy
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This thesis operationalises Charles Tilly's general set of conceptual explanations for Durable Inequality (DI) (1998), to see to what extent and how DI can explain the historical persistence of housing insecurity among older women from Australia's colonial beginnings. The analysis illuminates the ways social organisation, relational networks and conceptions of time (Braudel [1969] 1980] relate to the distribution of valued resources which have historical antecedents and contribute to housing insecurity. In particular, time appears to be significant in holding durable inequality in place and has yet to be systematically addressed to achieve housing security for all, including a subgroup of older women.

description: The chirality of photons plays a fundamental role in light-matter interactions. However, a limiting factor in photonic integrated circuits is the lack of a miniaturized component, which can distinguish the chirality in a low cost and integrated manner. Herein we numerically demonstrate a chirality-distinguishing beamsplitter that can address this challenge. It consists of an integrated polarization rotator and a linear polarization beamsplitter, which together can fulfill the task of distinguishing and splitting left- and right-handed quasi-circularly polarized modes on a chip with an ultra-broadband operation range from 1.45 μm to 1.65 μm. Owning to the reciprocity, the device can emit photons with selectable spin angular momentum depending on the chosen feeding waveguide. The device is compatible with complementary metal-oxide semiconductor technology and it may open up new avenues in the fields of on-chip nano-photonics, bio-photonics and quantum information science.

description: We aimed to investigate, the effect of acute antioxidant infusion and of mineralocorticoid receptor blockade (Eplerenone) on endothelial function in individuals with type 2 diabetes compared to healthy controls. We performed measurements of leg hemodynamics during femoral arterial infusion of an endothelial dependent and independent vasodilator with and without co-infusion of n-acetylcysteine (antioxidant) before and during mineralocorticoid receptor blockade after eight weeks of treatment. eNOS expression was identified by western immunoblotting in skeletal muscle. There was no difference in leg blood flow or vascular conductance before, or during the treatment with mineralocorticoid blockade as well as identification of eNOS, between the individuals with type 2 diabetes and the control group. Infusion of n-acetylcysteine increased baseline blood flow and vascular conductance, but did not change the vascular response to acetylcholine or sodium nitroprusside before or during the treatment.

description: Objective: 1) To assess the association of FAI and dGEMRIC T1 relaxation values (RV). 2) To evaluate whether subtypes of FAI (cam, pincer, mixed) are associated with region-specific dGEMRIC T1 RVs. Methods: A population-based sample of Caucasian subjects with and without hip pain, aged 20- 49, was selected through random digit dialing. A sample of 128 subjects underwent hip joint 3T dGEMRIC scans. Radiographic cam FAI was defined as an alpha angle >55°, while pincer FAI was defined by a lateral center edge angle >40° or a positive cross-over sign. Mixed impingement was defined by the presence of both cam and pincer impingement. Overall and region-specific T1 RVs were compared between all FAI subtypes using weighted linear regression analysis to account for sampling design of the study. Results: Subjects had mean age of 38 years and 51% were female. We did not find an association of FAI with overall hip T1 RV (mean difference =-15.5, 95% CI -77.23, 47.14). Significant associations of cartilage degeneration in anterior superior and central superior regions were found in subjects with mixed FAI compared to other FAI subtypes and non-FAI subjects. Conclusion: Subjects with mixed FAI had reduced T1 RVs compared other FAI subtypes. No substantial cartilage degeneration was found in pure cam or pincer FAI compared to non-FAI hips. These results indicate that the presence of cam or pincer impingements alone does not suggest the beginning of cartilage degeneration. In contrast, the presence of both FAI subtypes is a risk factor for early cartilage damage.

description: Chronic psychosocial stress is a risk factor for the development of numerous disorders, of which most are associated with chronic low-grade inflammation. Given the immunosuppressive effects of glucocorticoids (GC), one underlying mechanism might be the development of stress-induced GC resistance in certain immune cell subpopulations. In line with this hypothesis, male mice exposed to the chronic subordinate colony housing (CSC, 19 days) model develop GC resistance of in vitro lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated splenocytes, splenomegaly and an increased percentage of splenic CD11b+ cells. Here male C57BL/6N mice were euthanized at different days during CSC, and following 30 days of single housing after stressor termination to assess when CSC-induced splenic GC resistance starts to develop and whether this is a transient effect. Moreover, splenic CD11b, GC receptor (GR) and/or macrophage migration inhibiting factor (MIF) protein levels were quantified at respective days. While mild forms of CSC-induced GC resistance, increased splenic CD11b expression and/or splenomegaly were detectable on days 8 and 9 of CSC, more severe forms took until days 15 and 16 to develop, but normalized almost completely within 30 days following stressor termination (day 51). In contrast, splenic GR expression was decreased in CSC versus single-housed control (SHC) mice at all days assessed. While MIF expression was increased on days 15 and 16 of CSC, it was decreased in CSC versus SHC mice on day 20 despite persisting splenomegaly, increased CD11b expression and functional GC resistance. In summary, our data indicate that GC resistance and CD11b+ cell-mediated splenomegaly develop gradually and in parallel over time during CSC exposure and are transient in nature. Moreover, while we can exclude that CSC-induced reduction in splenic GR expression is sufficient to induce functional GC resistance, the role of MIF in CD11b+ cell-mediated splenomegaly and GC resistance requires further investigation.

description: Numerous studies explore consumer perception of brands in a more or less passive way. This may still be representative for many situations or decisions we make each day. Nevertheless, sometimes we often actively search for and use information to make informed and reasoned choices, thus implying a rational and thinking consumer. Researchers suggested describing this distinction as low relative to high involvement consumer behavior. Although the involvement concept has been widely used to explain consumer behavior, behavioral and neural correlates of this concept are poorly understood. The current study aims to describe a behavioral measure that is associated with high involvement, the length of search behavior. A second aim of this study was to explore brain activations associated with involvement by employing functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). We presented participants information cues for different products and told them that they had to answer questions with respect to these products at the end of the experiment. Participants were free to stop the information search if they think they gathered enough information or to continue with collecting information. Behavioral results confirmed our hypothesis of a relationship between searching behavior and personal involvement by demonstrating that the length of search correlated significantly with the degree of personal involvement of the participants. fMRI data revealed that personal involvement was associated with activation in BA44. Since this brain region is known to be involved in semantic memory, the results of this pilot study suggest that high involvement consumer behavior may be linked to cognitive load and attention towards a product.

Practicing Dialogic Pedagogy to Support Alignment of Student-Supervisor Expectations
Creators: name: Baydarova, Irina
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The misalignment of student-supervisor expectations has been suggested as a major contributor to slow completion times and high attrition rates for doctoral students. This study provided the first in-depth direct comparison of student-supervisor expectations in Malaysia. A hierarchical model of student-supervisor expectations was presented, describing the extent to which both students and supervisors clarify their expectations. It also explored the potential reasons for expectations misalignment and proposed the Dialogic Practice to Negotiate Student-Supervisor Expectations in postgraduate supervision in Malaysia. This research can enhance university policies and offer a new way to apply dialogic pedagogy to align student-supervisor expectations.
How well do you know your anticholinergic (antimuscarinic) drugs)?
Creators: name: Therapeutics Initiative (University Of British Columbia)
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Therapeutics Letter 113 is intended to remind clinicians of commonly used drugs that have anticholinergic (AC), or technically, antimuscarinic properties, and of their potential adverse effects.Prescribing Principles: Before prescribing, consider a patient’s total anticholinergic burden by reviewing all drugs. Inform patients about anticholinergic effects of over the counter drugs (e.g. “Gravol” or “sleep aids” containing diphenhydramine). Alert patients and families that using drugs that block cholinergic neurotransmission in the brain can increase the risk of cognitive impairment and may be risky long-term. Prescribe anticholinergics only for a clear indication. Document the purpose in the clinical record and on prescription directions (“indication-based prescribing”). This should appear on the medication container label and will facilitate periodic review and deprescribing. Use low doses for the shortest possible time; reassess often for predictable adverse effects (Table 3). Ask about subtle manifestations of anticholinergic toxicity such as impaired cognition, impaired visual accommodation, slurred speech from a dry tongue and mouth, reflux from delayed stomach emptying, or frequent urination due to incomplete voiding. If you suspect dry mouth, see whether a swish of water improves speech. If unsure whether antimuscarinic effects may be in play, consult online resources, including drug monographs.

Year: 2024

description: Timber utility poles are widely used in power distribution and telecommunication networks to support overhead cables. These assets deteriorate with time and thus, the Australian utility pole industry annually spend lot of money on maintenance and management of timber poles. However, there are limitations and deficiencies in the current pole inspection techniques. Therefore, this research investigates the efficiency of stress wave propagation technique in detecting the damages in timber poles. Damage detection schemes, neural network models and defect severity estimation methods are developed which can be used to improve the accuracy and reliability of the pole inspection methods.

description: Background By the use of PSMA positron emission tomography (PET) detection of prostate cancer lesions with a high sensitivity and specificity combined with a favorable lesion to background contrast is feasible. Therefore, PSMA-PET is increasingly used for planning of radiotherapy treatment; however, any data on intermediate-term outcome is missing so far. Methods Patients with high-risk or very high risk prostate cancer, referred for salvage radiotherapy (SRT, n = 22) between 2013 and 2015, underwent PSMA-PET prior to therapy. Irradiation was planned on PET data with boost to macroscopic tumors/metastases. Treatment related toxicity was measured using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE, v4.0). Result Findings in PSMA-PET led to treatment modifications in 77% of SRT patients compared to available CT information. One patient did not receive irradiation due to disseminated disease, the other patients received increased boost doses to macroscopic disease and/or inclusion of additional target volumes. Toxicity was low as only 2 patients reported toxicities > grade 1. With a Median follow-up time of 29 in patients that were not lost to follow-up, prolonged PSA responses below baseline were observed in the majority of patients (14 of 20). In hormone-naïve SRT patients (n = 11), radiotherapy led to prolonged PSA decrease in 8/11 patients, however with 3 of these 8 patients receiving repeated PSMA based irradiation of novel lesions during follow-up. Conclusion PSMA-PET guided planning of radiotherapy led to change of treatment in the majority of patients. Treatment related toxicity was well tolerated and promising results regarding intermediate-term PSA decrease were observed. Trial registration No trial registration was performed due to retrospective evaluation.

Integration strategies in the Southern Cone: A comparison of Argentina, Brazil and Chile.
Creators: name: Caron, Benoît.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1998
Subjects: subject: Economics, General.

description: This thesis will demonstrate how the changes in the international system have influenced the Southern Cone countries of South America (i.e. Argentina, Brazil and Chile) to adapt their trade strategies between themselves and the major industrial powers. It will also examine how the domestic forces limit or enhance the ability of a given country to respond to these changes. It is argued that because multilateralism is insufficient in protecting the interests of the developing economies at the periphery of the major trade blocs (i.e. the United States and its NAFTA partners, the European Union, and Japan and the East Asian NICs), sub-regional integration offers an alternative strategy for these countries. Within this strategy of regional integration, three policy options are available; sub-regional integration as a form of counter balance to the trade blocs, sub-regionalism as a preparatory step into a trade bloc, and unilateral bloc entry.

The Utility of Attitudes and Observed Behaviour in Fitness Facility Retention
Creators: name: Yeomans, Carleigh
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This thesis utilised both attitudinal and behavioural measures to explore the key determinants associated with member retention in fitness facility contexts. The results demonstrate the significance of behavioural loyalty and, most critically, observed attendance behaviour in explaining variance in member retention. As such, a fundamental shift is proposed, away from the use of attitudes and intentions as direct determinants of member retention, and toward the prioritised collection and evaluation of behavioural data. This assessment of member retention, and use of behavioural data, provides greater insight for researchers and practitioners in the field of sport and leisure management.
