title: The demand for outpatient care in a health district in the North West Province of Cameroon : an empirical investigation into the potential effects of introducing community financing in public health centres.
Creators: name: Tembon, CA
Publisher: name: London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine
Year: 1994

description: The aim of this study is to examine the potential impact of community financing on the utilization and accessibility of health care providers in general and the government health centres in particular. A household interview survey, Focus group discussions, in depth interviews and document reviews were undertaken in one health district in the North West Province of Cameroon. 1147 households with 6656 members were visited and their heads interviewed. Of 1093 households with 3441 adult members analyzed, only 603 indicated that they had an adult sick with in two weeks preceding the date of the household interview survey (HIS).The results indicate that people who seek health care from any of the health care providers in the district spend a substantial proportion of their incomes on treatment, even in government health units where treatment is supposed to be free. Like other studies, this one found that people in the poorest quartile spend a higher proportion of their income on treatment compared to those in the highest quartile. Transport and time costs are also higher for those in the lowest quartile compared to those in the highest quartile. Using a computer programme - A L O G IT - the demand for health care in the district if community financing were to be introduced was modelled. Community financing as used in this study refers the situation where there is mobilization and management of resources by the community to support, in part or in full, basic preventive and curative health services for its members. From the data, the introduction of community financing in government health c entre s would result in people shifting away from them towards private health care providers probably because they value highly the quality of care given by private providers. However if community financing is introduced in government health centres and combined with an improvement of the accessibility of health care services (such as by the creation and /or reactivation of village health posts leading to a reduction in travel time and distance), utilization of public health centres would still decline , though not as acutely as if community financing were introduced alone. Though the demand for health care in the district is estimated to be price inelastic, there are people in the community who need to borrow money or pawn their belongings to be able to pay for health care or are sim ply barred access to health care providers.

Fires in natural systems and their impact on the environment in Albania

description: In recent years, globally, there has been an increase in the number of fires and the destruction of nature with environmental, social, and economic impacts. Even in Albania, fires are intense and widespread, threatening residential areas, life safety, property, natural and environmental ecosystems, etc. Fires endanger natural resources, forests, pastures, and agricultural lands, destruction of nature, biodiversity, landscape, flora, and fauna, and worsen the physical, chemical, and biological qualities of the soil and air due to the discharge of carbon and harmful chemicals formed during burning, intensification of erosion, etc. However, public awareness remains at a low level and fires are a repeated phenomenon. Therefore, the objective of this paper is to evaluate the environmental impacts caused by fires, the dimensions of the spread, the consequences, the prevention measures, and the necessary legal, administrative, and technical improvements. The frequency of fires in recent years has been developing at a high rate. In 2021, 329 fires were recorded, burning a total of 31,275 ha of land, in addition to other affected areas. Studies show that about 84% of fire events in Albanian forests in 2021 were caused by anthropogenic factors. Extinguishing the fires was difficult due to the mountainous terrain on ¾ of the surface, the type of vegetation, high slope, high temperature, and low rainfall during the summer, as well as the lack of tools. In the general area of the territory of 2,874,800 ha, natural systems (forests and pastures) and agricultural systems, which are endangered by fires, occupy about 80% of the surface. Exactly, for these reasons, the main alternative in the country remains the planning and implementation of fire prevention measures. The impact of climate change on weather conditions, towards repeated heat and droughts, contributes to favoring the spread of massive fires.

description: This article addresses the issue of redirection of tax enforcement to the company´s partner, whose name appears at the Certificate of Outstanding Debt (CDA), conducting a critical review of the current understanding of the Superior Court of Justice (STJ), favorable to such redirection. Initially, the legal rules for one´s inclusion in the tax enforcement´s passive pole as well as the requisites that enable partner´s liability are studied.Following, the understanding of the STJ on the matter is analyzed, exploring the superior court upheld reasoning and defining research problems derived from this understanding. The approach highlights main procedural and technical aspects of tax enforcement, analyzing the granting prerogatives for presumption of CDA's liquidity and certainty. Finally, the impact of the High Court of Justice's current understanding has in the existing legal system is emphasized, as well as its effect on constitutional rights.

description: Covariance structure plays an important role in high-dimensional statistical inference. In a range of applications including imaging analysis and fMRI studies, random variables are observed on a lattice graph. In such a setting, it is important to account for the lattice structure when estimating the covariance operator. In this article, we consider both minimax and adaptive estimation of the covariance operator over collections of polynomially decaying and exponentially decaying parameter spaces. We first establish the minimax rates of convergence for estimating the covariance operator under the operator norm. The results show that the dimension of the lattice graph significantly affects the optimal rates convergence, often much more so than the dimension of the random variables. We then consider adaptive estimation of the covariance operator. A fully data-driven block thresholding procedure is proposed and is shown to be adaptively rate optimal simultaneously over a wide range of polynomially decaying and exponentially decaying parameter spaces. The adaptive block thresholding procedure is easy to implement, and numerical experiments are carried out to illustrate the merit of the procedure.

description: We propose a method for testing whether hierarchically ordered groups of potentially correlated variables are significant for explaining a response in a high-dimensional linear model. In presence of highly correlated variables, as is very common in high-dimensional data, it seems indispensable to go beyond an approach of inferring individual regression coefficients, and we show that detecting smallest groups of variables (MTDs: minimal true detections) is realistic. Thanks to the hierarchy among the groups of variables, powerful multiple testing adjustment is possible which leads to a data-driven choice of the resolution level for the groups. Our procedure, based on repeated sample splitting, is shown to asymptotically control the familywise error rate and we provide empirical results for simulated and real data which complement the theoretical analysis.

description: ELIPSS (Longitudinal Internet Studies for Social Sciences) is a longitudinal probabilistic French panel. To release the 70 produced datasets, we had to deal with numerous issues, in a environment with limited resources and an important fragmentation of the tools: Blaise for the surveys, DDI-C for the documentation, SPSS for producing the datasets and SAS for the weights of the respondents. Also, heterogeneous survey programming and documentation practices had to be taken into account. The solution we conceived for fluidizing the production and dissemination cycle of the datasets is based on the output and the input files of the software linked between them by a tool developed with R. This presentation underlines the building process of this solution.

description: Strong ocean current systems characterize the Southern Ocean. The genetic structure of marine phytoplankton species is believed to depend mainly on currents. Genetic estimates of the relatedness of populations of phytoplankton species therefore should provide a proxy showing to what extent different geographic regions are interconnected by the ocean current systems. In this study, spatial and temporal patterns of genetic diversity were studied in the circumpolar prymnesiophyte Phaeocystis antarctica Karsten using seven nuclear microsatellite loci. Analyses were conducted for 86 P. antarctica isolates sampled around the Antarctic continent between 1982 and 2007. The results revealed high genetic diversity without single genotypes recurring even among isolates within a bloom or originating from the same bucket of water. Populations of P. antarctica were significantly differentiated among the oceanic regions. However, some geographically distant populations were more closely related to each other than they were to other geographically close populations. Temporal haplotype turnover within regions was also suggested by the multilocus fingerprints. Our data suggest that even within blooms of P. antarctica genetic diversity and population sizes are large but exchange between different regions can be limited. Positive and significant inbreeding coefficients hint at further regional substructure of populations, suggesting that patches, once isolated from one another, may not reconnect. These data emphasize that even for planktonic species in a marine ecosystem that is influenced by strong currents, significant breaks in gene flow may occur.

description: In this work we explore the distribution of rare earth elements (REE) in hornblende-bearing metamorphic rocks from the Jurassic Alvand plutonic complex (Sanandaj-Sirjan Zone, NW Iran) focusing on the understanding the effect of rock-forming silicates in controlling compositional variations during metamorphism. The studied rocks contain two distinct amphibole-dominated paragenesis: a first one including hornblende + epidote + plagioclase (“amphibolite”) and a second on made up of hornblende + garnet + epidote + plagioclase (“garnet amphibolite”). The bulk high Al2O3 (average 17.7 wt%), CaO (average 11.9 wt%) and low Fe2O3* (average 5.9 wt%), MgO (average 2.3 wt%), and TiO2 (average 0.8 wt%) contents together with the Zr/Ti (average 280), Na2O/ Al2O3 (average 0.05) and Na2O+K2O (average 1.7 wt%) values indicate these rocks are para-amphibolite formed by metamorphism of a marl (calcareous shale) protolith. With respect to the rock-forming phases, the epidotes have the highest ΣREE contents (ΣREE=86-210 ppm). The garnets (ΣREE=27-87 ppm) and hornblendes (ΣREE=10-22 ppm) have moderate values, whereas the plagioclase shows the lowest REE (2-4.7 ppm) amounts. Inverse and forward modelling thermobarometry was applied to unravel the pressure-temperature history of the studied samples and therefore to reveal the impact of each phase on the REE partitioning during the recorded metamorphic evolution, considering that REE are mostly immobile during crust processes and therefore their bulk budget is that of the protolith.

description: Personalized information filtering extracts the information specifically relevant to a user, predicting his/her preference over a large number of items, based on the opinions of users who think alike or its content. This problem is cast into the framework of regression and classification, where we integrate additional user-specific and content-specific predictors in partial latent models, for higher predictive accuracy. In particular, we factorize a user-over-item preference matrix into a product of two matrices, each representing a user’s preference and an item preference by users. Then we propose a likelihood method to seek a sparsest latent factorization, from a class of overcomplete factorizations, possibly with a high percentage of missing values. This promotes additional sparsity beyond rank reduction. Computationally, we design methods based on a “decomposition and combination” strategy, to break large-scale optimization into many small subproblems to solve in a recursive and parallel manner. On this basis, we implement the proposed methods through multi-platform shared-memory parallel programming, and through Mahout, a library for scalable machine learning and data mining, for mapReduce computation. For example, our methods are scalable to a dataset consisting of three billions of observations on a single machine with sufficient memory, having good timings. Both theoretical and numerical investigations show that the proposed methods exhibit a significant improvement in accuracy over state-of-the-art scalable methods.

Application of geographic information systems to the assessment and management of mining impact
Creators: name: Boggs, Guy Stuart
Publisher: name: Charles Darwin University

description: SIBERIA requires calibration of both hydrology and sediment transport components. The HEC-HMS model is used to extend the runoff record in the Ngarradj catchment and a flood frequency analysis performed to identify the 1 in 2.33yr peak discharge required for calibrating SIBERIA. The sediment transport component of the SIBERIA model is calibrated for both natural and mine surface conditions. Natural sediment loss parameters are derived from stream gauged data for three sub-catchments in Ngarradj that have distinct geomorphological characteristics. Mine impacted parameter values are derived for four potential surface conditions using rainfall simulation experiments. This research develops a GIS based approach for assessing the potential impact of post-mining landforms on sediment movement and hydrology within a catchment. The methodology is applied to the Jabiluka Mine in the Northern Territory of Australia. The research first develops a GIS based simple erosion risk assessment model that is able to rapidly estimate erosion risk based on widely available spatial data. The SIBERIA landform evolution model is investigated as a tool for analysing more advanced geomorphological change. SIBERIA is linked to the Arc View GIS software package through the development of ‘ArcEvolve’, a GIS extension that simplifies application of the model. The on-site and off-site impact of two potential post-mining andform designs at Jabiluka is assessed using the GIS based tools and SIBERIA. The proposed landforms are found to significantly impact the minor tributaries draining the mine affected catchment, but are not found to have a significant impact on sediment loads downstream in Ngarradj. Simulations, however, indicate that careful selection of the surface material of the final landform is required to mimic pre-mining surface conditions as both less and more stable surfaces can have a significant impact on the surrounding catchment. Further investigations suggested from this research include; 1) quantification of error propagation within SIBERIA, 2) sensitivity of geomorphometry based analysis and; 3) the validity of plot versus field derived parameter values in SIBERIA.

Iterative learning control for smooth operation of permanent magnet synchronous motors
Creators: name: Yeo, Kheng
Publisher: name: Charles Darwin University
Year: 2017

description: Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (PMSM) have many advantages over other types of motors and are used in many applications. However, undesirable torque ripples are associated with these motors, caused by design, manufacturing imperfections or measurement inaccuracies. These torque ripples occur as periodic functions of the rotor position. While there are several control schemes to minimise torque ripple, such as using observers or pre-compensation, Iterative Learning Control (ILC), an adaptive control method capable of reducing torque ripples that are periodic in nature, has not been extensively investigated to date and may be a suitable method to significantly reduce torque ripple for PMSMs. Various methods of ILC are described in literature, such as the Single Channel First Order ILC (SCFO-ILC), which uses information from the previous cycle within a certain frequency range for the iterative learning process; Multi-Channel ILC(MC-ILC) which uses multiple channels; Higher Order ILC (HO-ILC), which uses information from more than one previous cycle; and adaptive ILC in which the learning gains vary with the error. Most ILC schemes used in PMSM control are the Proportional type ILC (P-ILC) or its variations. Although other types of ILC schemes are available, the effectiveness of these schemes in minimising torque ripple for PMSM are not described in detail in literature. Simulations and experimental results of this thesis showed that the various ILC schemes were able to suppress the major torque ripple harmonics of PMSM. Of the four categories of ILC, P-type ILC with a forgetting factor has the widest learnable band while D-type ILC and MC-ILC has the narrowest. MC-ILC has the lowest Torque Ripple Factor (TRF), fastest convergence and is relatively robust to parameter variations. Together with HO-ILC and adaptive ILC, they have lower TRF and faster convergence compared to SCFO-ILC. Two new ILC schemes were proposed in this work: Multi-Channel Higher Order ILC and Multi-Channel Adaptive ILC. Compared to SCFO-ILC, Multi-Channel Higher Order ILC converges faster and has a lower TRF. However, it is not robust to parameter variations. Multi-Channel Adaptive ILC on the other hand is robust, has a low TRF and converges the fastest among other ILC schemes. It can therefore be concluded that the Multi-Channel Adaptive ILC, developed in this thesis, is a suitable ILC scheme for PMSMs to minimise torque ripple.

description: There is a lack of experimental studies comparing the forest production of mixed tree species stands and monocultures. As a case study, in 1994 an experiment was established in an afforestation landscape in southern Sweden with 66 plots: 18 planted with single tree species (including most native Swedish trees, plus Populus and Larix hybrids) and 48 with various non-replicated mixtures. Fifteen years after planting, stand growth did not differ significantly between the mixtures and the monocultures. However, the monocultures did exhibit a higher variation in growth levels relative to the moderate but comparatively consistent growth levels exhibited by the mixtures; particularly those comprised of more than two species. A specific analysis of mixtures containing either the tree species Picea abies or Quercus robur and their corresponding monocultures demonstrated the importance of the tree species admixed as a determinant of production outcomes early in the rotation. In the case of P. abies, tree species mixtures tended to reduce production, whereas in the case of Q. robur, mixtures tended to increase production. In addition no consistent differences in the mean height and mean diameter growth of P. abies and Q. robur between mixtures and monocultures were detected. A major conclusion is that adding more than two species did not increase stand volume growth.

description: Background: Antagonistic interactions, such as parasitism and herbivory, are generally specialised and have a strong phylogenetic signal for specialisation. As lianas and trees interact antagonistically, we expect to find phylogenetic signal for specialisation.Aims: We aimed to answer the following questions: (1) Is the liana–tree network specialised? (2) Is the specialisation of liana–tree network related to the abundance of both the life forms? (3) Is liana and tree specialisation related to species phylogeny? (4) Do phylogenetically related liana species occupy phylogenetically related tree species, and vice versa?Methods: For three areas in southern Brazil, we calculated the specialisation value of each liana and tree species (d') and of the entire network (H2′). Binomial regression and null models were used to test the role of abundance on d' and H2′, respectively. We searched for the presence of phylogenetic signal with phylogenetic independent contrasts for d'. We also compared the similarity of species sets and their interaction with phylogenetic distance between them using Mantel test.Results: All three networks had significant values of H2′, but the values of d' did not have significant phylogenetic signals. Closely related lianas did not share similar host-tree assemblages and vice versa. Rare species were more specialised than abundant species, and abundance did not influence H2′.Conclusions: Our study indicates that the significant H2′ may be due to co-evolution in some lineages of lianas and trees. Nevertheless, the abundance of species may also play an important role in species interaction, mainly rare species.

title: First and second order leaders and leadership
title: a new model for understanding the roles and interactions between leaders and managers working in contemporary Australian-based ogranisations undergoing change

description: Over the past 25 years, technological and other changes have dramatically transformed the Australian workplace. Continuous demands for quick results, an ever improving bottom line, shorter time frames and constant change have had particular impact on the role of leadership, which has become more nebulous yet, at the same time, is held more responsible for organisational success. The research question―What is the role of leaders and leadership in contemporary Australian-based organisations undergoing change? ― addresses the nature of modern leadership and the role of organisational leaders. The study has three broad aims: to understand the nature of contemporary organisational leadership; to examine whether current leadership practice is meeting organisational demands; and to identify how our current and future leaders can be better supported in a changing organisational context. The study explores the perceptions and practices of 61 leaders who work in a wide range of Australian public and private organisations through analysis of in-depth interviews. Key themes relevant to these leaders’ experiences are identified. These provide insight into the activities and thinking that support or hinder leadership success and their implications for the organisation as a whole. The findings suggest that oganisational leadership is best conceptualised not as a unitary phenomenon but, rather, as comprising two largely interdependent―though frequently confused―disciplines. The investigation identified eight ways in which both forms of leadership can be hijacked from their intended purposes. Drawing on the study data, the researcher has developed a leadership and management taxonomy that depicts how leadership and management should work together in order to achieve an organisation’s short- and long-term goals. The research thus makes an original contribution to empirical and theoretical work in the field of organisational leadership education policy and design. The study’s recommendations provide a framework and guidelines for improving the performance and competence of contemporary Australian organisational leaders during these challenging and often uncertain times.

description: This study was carried out to investigate the biomedicinal potential of a bioactive marker component, butyryl alkannin, isolated from n-hexane root extract of Arnebia euchroma against various vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE) isolates of Enterococcus faecalis causing urinary tract infections. As a result, butyryl alkannin showed significant antibacterial activity against multidrug-resistant E. faecalis pathogens of VRE as minimum inhibitory concentration values which were found in the range of 3.13 to 6.26 μg ml− 1. The findings of this study justify biological and biomedicinal potential of butyryl alkannin compound as confirmed by its higher and significant antibacterial efficacy against VRE isolates of E. faecalis as compared to standard antibiotic vancomycin.
PrEmo - Emotion Measurement Instrument

Subjects: Emotion Measurement

description: PrEmo is a pictorial emotion scale that measures seven positive (pride, admiration, joy, hope, satisfaction, desire, fascination) and seven negative emotions (shame, contempt, sadness, fear, anger, disgust, boredom). Together, these 14 emotions represent a solid cross-section of the human repertoire. The heart of PrEmo is a cartoon character that uses his face, body and voice to express the fourteen emotions. With PrEmo, people can report their feelings in any situation by simply pointing out one or more cartoons. You can measure the emotions people have towards new designs, medical procedures, during a music festival, when tasting wine, or in any other situation you are interested in. With PrEmo, measuring both strong and subtle feelings is simple and reliable. Because it does not rely on words, PrEmo supports cross-cultural research, and the cartoons have been validated in many countries across the world (see Laurans and Desmet, 2017).

description: The antibiofilm activity of Murraya koenigii essential oil (EO) against Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 was investigated in this study. A decrease in the production of rhamnolipid, extracellular polymeric substance and swarming motility was observed by the EO treatment (0.3% v/v). The static microtitre plate assay revealed 80% reduction in biofilm formation by P. aeruginosa PAO1 on M. koenigii EO treatment. Fluorescence microscopy and scanning electron microscopy analyses confirmed the reduction of biofilm formation in P. aeruginosa PAO1 when treated with M. koenigii EO. Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry analysis of the EO revealed the presence of well-known antibiofilm agents such as spathulenol (5.85%), cinnamaldehyde (0.37%) and linalool (0.04%). Cinnamaldehyde has not been previously reported in M. koenigii EO. The potent antibiofilm properties of M. koenigii EO may be effectively exploited in food and pharmaceutical industries as well as in controlling Pseudomonas biofilms on indwelling medical devices.

description: Este artículo se centra en el estudio de la patentabilidad de las tecnologías ambientales como una herramienta de manejo y experiencia de desarrollo sostenible. El análisis se realizará a partir del Programa de Patentes Verde, creado en 2012 como un proyecto piloto del Instituto Nacional de la Propiedad Industrial, dependiente del Ministerio de Desarrollo, Industria y Comercio Exterior agencia federal. El diseño de los modelos de producción sostenible se refiere al uso y desarrollo de tecnologías que reducen o eliminan el impacto de la degradación del medio ambiente, con consecuencias directas en los aspectos organizativos, económicos, socioculturales y ambientales en la región donde se hacen. Este sesgo, se puede hacer una reflexión sobre la importancia de la práctica de los principios de sostenibilidad con el uso de tecnologías verdes en el proceso de producción, acelerando la predicción de la concesión de patentes de las tecnologías respetuosas con el medio ambiente.
