Instrumentality, expressivity, and dyadic adjustment: Gender-specific mediation processes.
Creators: name: Lefebvre, Monique.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1997
Subjects: subject: Psychology, Social.

description: Although Instrumentality and Expressivity scores have been shown to be powerful intrapersonal predictors of reported relationship satisfaction and adjustment, conceptual models exploring the mechanisms by which Instrumentality (I) and Expressivity (E) influence intimate relationships are few. The results presented in this thesis are derived from two studies, each using survey research methods and the little-used Bem Sex Role Inventory Short-Form (BSRI-SF). Study 1 (N = 75 couples) examined several statistical and methodological issues in using the short form BSRI in couples research. Study 2 (N = 119 couples) provided a preliminary evaluation of a model in which it was proposed that the relations among Instrumentality (I), Expressivity (E), and relationship adjustment are mediated in part by interpersonal processes related to couple conflict resolution (CR) and maintenance and enhancement of intimacy (MEI). A number of gender-specific findings were obtained. The proposed model was supported using a path analytic approach comparing the direct model of IE with the mediator model. Specifically, variance in men's reported levels of dyadic adjustment covaried with their own levels of Instrumentality, Expressivity, and self-reported intimacy and conflict behaviour. Variance in women's reported levels of dyadic adjustment covaried in a complex fashion with their own and their partners' scores. Across couple-related variables (DAS, CR, and MEI), results generally supported a main effects model (i.e., significant statistical prediction from Instrumentality scores and/or Expressivity scores), but not an interactional model (Instrumentality times Expressivity). Results indicated that use of the BSRI-SF's nonconfounded Instrumentality and Expressivity subscales can be valuable in model testing in couples research. It is suggested that the short-form provides ease of interpretation compared to the controversial long-form BSRI. Gilligan's theory of gender-specific developmental tasks is proposed as a framework for understanding the gender-specific correlational patterns which emerged.

description: A porous, crystalline, self-supporting zeolite-X/silica composite for industrial use was synthesised from sugar cane bagasse ash by a simple hydrothermal alkaline digestion. The factors affecting the synthesis efficiency, measured by X-ray powder diffraction, were optimised statistically at the micro-scale using statistical factorial design. X-ray powder diffraction combined with scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray analysis demonstrated the production of a zeolite-X/silica composite with similar yield and near identical characteristics under scaled up synthesis conditions. The zeolite-X/silica composite was shown to adsorb nearly 100% of added metal from copper and zinc solutions over a wide range of pH and metal concentrations.

description: Nous examinons la carriere des agentes correctionnelles dans les penitenciers federaux pour hommes. Il s'agit d'identifier les maintes barrieres organisationnelles auxquelles font face ces agentes de correction, rendant difficile tant leur integration dans ce milieu de travail traditionnellement masculin que leur acces a des promotions. Une analyse theorique a perspective feministe de ces barrieres limitant l'integration et la promotion des femmes dans cette profession est privilegies dans notre projet de recherche. La profession d'agent de correction ayant ete par tradition une sphere organisationnelle a predominance masculine, cela a produit des valeurs et des regles a la base des fonctions qui alimentent aisement des attitudes et comportements sexistes. Dans le cadre de cette recherche, nous faisons remarquer que meme si les agentes correctionnelles augmentent en nombre, les consequences liees au "tokenism" seraient eliminees mais pas les prejuges sexistes qui sont non seulement enracines dans la culture de travail, mais dans la societe en general. Le Service correctionnel du Canada ne peut ainsi limiter ses objectifs d'integration des femmes a l'augmentation de leur nombre car nous constatons qu'il existe des failles au niveau des politiques de gestion et de la structure organisationnelle qui laissent place a de la discrimination sexiste. Ces lacunes se retrouvent tant dans les mecanismes informels de selection, de formation que de promotion et creent des obstacles a l'integration des femmes en tant qu'agentes correctionnelles. Nous avons trouve egalement que des normes et des traditions masculines sont a la base de cette culture de travail: que ce soit au niveau de la philosophie penale de traitement et de controle securitaire ou de la question d'un entrai nement adequat, ces elements necessitent que le Service correctionnel du Canada distingue entre ce qui est propre a la culture masculine de travail et ce qui est propre a la profession.

"In this report, we explore techniques based on fiber optics distributed temperature sensing (FO-DTS) and seismic methods, focusing on subsurface water content quantification (ESR5) and on groundwater flux estimation (ESR6 and 7). Based on the already existing knowledge, new approaches are used with the aim of applying the latest developed technology in order to make in situ data acquisition productive and reliable.  Treating the surface water - groundwater system as a continuous is a more realistic approach than the usual distinction between domains and as their interactions are still challenging to evaluate, we employ these non-intrusive methods that study both environments. Moreover, the combination of these techniques could allow for a better understanding of these interactions, broadening the possibilities in terms of groundwater dynamics monitoring and prediction."

description: Introduction Milk

 

The white liquid meal known as milk is generated by mammals' mammary glands. For young mammals, including breastfed human infants, it serves as their main source of nutrition until they are able to process solid food. Milk immunity is influenced by immune factors and immune-modulating substances. Colostrum, or early-lactation milk, is a type of milk that has antibodies in it that boost immunity and lower overall illness risk. In addition to lactose and saturated fat, milk contains a variety of minerals, such as calcium and protein. Dairy milk is a crop that is obtained from farm animals

description: Ecosystem services are essential to human well-being. Despite this—through land-use change and the contribution to climate change, for example—human activity is degrading the stock and quality of ecosystem services. As most of the world’s terrestrial environment belongs on private land, the conservation of ecosystem services is dependent on the actions of landholders and their understanding of the ecosystems they manage. The central theme of this thesis is focused on the conservation of ecosystem services on private land. It explores three areas of enquiry: i) landholder preferences for the design of environmental payment schemes, ii) soil conservation and iii) the contribution of rapid assessment and reference tools in managing ecosystem services. This thesis uses a combination of established techniques and novel approaches, including econometric, biophysical, and social survey tools. The thesis contains the first use of an ordered choice experiment to determine scheme preferences as determined by landholder willingness to contribute land; a catchment scale land survey that explores the influence of land-use on soil carbon in sub-tropical East Coast Australia; the use of a new rapid survey technique that collects qualitative and quantitative preferences simultaneously (here used to assess farmer perceptions and preferences for soil health); the first known use of van Westendorp price sensitivity meter to determine price signals for participation in environmental payment schemes. The outcomes of this research highlight the usefulness of rapid assessment methodologies to cost-effectively inform conservation management decisions. Additional outcomes contribute to scheme parameters which can improve the uptake of conservation on private land; these include incorporating awareness of labelling effects on participation, targeting willing landholders, and offering semi-flexible scheme designs that promote contract negotiation.

The implementation of relationship-centred model for creating a positive culture in residential aged care : implications for care recipient well-being

Year: 2021
Subjects: Eden Alternative
Relationship-centred care

Aged care

description: Residential aged care providers in Australia face increasing demands from clients, families, and government, with expectations of more individualised approaches to residents’ care needs and a greater focus on wellbeing. As identified in the Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety, aged care organisations need to implement innovative practice models to promote resident wellbeing in residential aged care. One such model is the Eden Alternative. A review of the literature demonstrated there is a lack of empirical evidence on the effectiveness of the Eden Alternative as a model for culture change; relationship-centred care is poorly understood in aged care settings; and longitudinal studies are needed to measure sustained change. The aims of this study were to investigate the Eden Alternative philosophy through the lens of a relationship-centred model, informed by Appreciative Inquiry and to add to the knowledge of relationship-centred care in residential aged care settings. An Appreciative Inquiry was conducted at the study site with residents (n = 13), families (n = 10), and staff (n = 17). A series of themes was generated across the first three stages of the Appreciative Inquiry, which included semi-structured interviews (Appreciating Phase), focus groups (Envisioning Phase), and an organisational summit (Constructing Phase). The experience of transitioning into residential care and the importance of their relationships was made clear by the study participants. Highlighting the need for staff to recognise residents’ individuality and for clear communication strategies. The summit identified the themes of ageism, culture and leadership, while the concept of trust emerged across each stage of the Appreciative Inquiry. It was clear from this study that the term wellbeing is poorly understood in the resident cohort. The findings led to the development of the CIRCLeT practice model to guide the implementation of Eden as a relationship-centred model to support resident wellbeing. The model is supported by seven principles and a practical toolkit that can be utilised by service providers to introduce culture change. This study furthers the knowledge of the Eden Alternative and advances understanding of relationship-centred care to support resident wellbeing. It provides evidence of the needs of individuals living in residential aged care, and the practices required to develop a culture that meets these needs.

Bridging parameter and data spaces for fast robust estimation in computer vision

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: All high breakdown robust estimators, at their core, include an isolated search in either the data or the parameter space. In this paper, we devise a high breakdown robust estimation technique, called fast least k-th order statistics (FLkOS) that employs the derivatives of order statistics of squared residuals to implement Newton’s optimization method for its search. It is mathematically shown that Newton’s optimization of the order statistics leads to a very simple and substantially fast search algorithm that bridges the data and parameter spaces. The proposed search involves replacing a p-tuple with another p-tuple in the data space, while moving towards the minimum point of the estimator’s cost function in the parameter space. An important practical implication of this strategy is that we can limit the required search in the parameter space to the specific manifold spanned by data. FLkOS is shown to be an effective tool to perform multi-structured data fitting and segmentation via a number of experiments including range image segmentation experiments involving both synthetic and real images and fundamental matrix estimation involving real image pairs. The results show that FLkOS is remarkably efficient and substantially faster than state-of-the-art high breakdown estimators.

description: The interaction between wave energy and the seabed results in a dissipation of energy that is due to bottom friction. Work is also done on bedforms both solid and mobile (cohesive and noncohesive sediments) such as sand ripples, on suspending and moving sediment, due to percolation (Komen et al. 1994), and due to excessive breaking caused by shoaling (e.g. Babanin et al. 2001). For a relatively flat granular seabed, the magnitude of the roughness that contributes to dissipation is determined by the grain size of the sediment, and dependence of the wave-motion friction on this grain size is one of the subjects of this paper. However, the bedform of a mobile seabed can be altered due to the action of waves and currents. Experimental analysis of flow in the boundary layer found, for example, eddies moving the sediment in an orbital trajectory that results in parallel ridges (or ripples). Their formation and size is determined by the dimension of the eddies (Melnikhova amd Volkov 2000). A bottom-friction routine, based on the Nielsen algorithm (Nielsen 1981), was introduced into the SWAN model (Booij et al. 1999) which makes the bottom friction for waves dependent on presence/absence of ripples if the sea bed is mobile, and on grain size of the sediment. The routine is suitable for spectral models of wave evolution, and in the present study it was tested by means of the SWAN model by hindcasting waves at two finite-depth field sites.

description: This research work investigates an application of biomass to produce energy with low-carbon emissions. It proposes a division of conventional gasification into a two-stage gasification that harnesses a thermal-integration between the stages and has the potential to produce clean syngas. The conventional gasification is divided into two-stages, namely the char-production and syngas-production. Experiments were conducted to determine the energy requirement in pyrolysis. The experimental results were also used to validate the numerical model built on simulation software (UniSim). A model was built on numerical software UniSim for the thermally integrated gasification with steam as a gasifying agent and using biomass.
Life After 85 years: An Embodiment Perspective
Creators: name: van Rhyn, Brianne
Publisher: name: Southern Cross University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Ageing
Embodiment
Existential Phenomenology
Lived Body

description: The dual ontology of the human body is that it is both a biological object and the subjective vehicle with which we experience life. Little is known about the experience of the body after 85 years, and how bodily being at this later age influences lived experiences. Despite projections of significant population growth of people over 85 years, current research has failed to capture the embodied experiences of this group. In addition, current policies and practices fail to meet the needs of older adults.
description: To address these knowledge gaps, this research was approached with three aims. The first two aims were to explore and describe the experience of (1) the lived body, and (2) lived space, lived time, and lived relationships, of twenty purposively selected participants over the age of 85. Data was collected through in-depth interviews and analysed interpretatively. An existential phenomenological methodology facilitated the exploration of the embodied experiences of older adults, as manifested in their everyday life and described in their own words. These phenomena were framed in the context of identity, sense-making, and meaningfulness.
description: Findings indicated that (1) the body was experienced as compromising engagement in meaningful activity, independence, safety, vitality, dignity, and identity, and (2) ways of being, relationships, and one’s place in the world continued to evolve in later life. Participants coped with bodily changes of ageing through adaptation, humour, and acceptance, and viewed their unreliable body as distinct from themselves. Gerotranscendence theory best encapsulated actual lived experience. The older adult is complex, resilient, evolving, and deeply reflective.
description: The third aim was to demonstrate how embodiment can be utilised as an instrument of (3a) research, and (3b) practice. The findings of the primary research demonstrated the rich knowledge gleaned from embodiment as a methodological instrument, and the application of embodied empathy as a practice instrument in a social work context is explored.
description: This research addressed the current paucity of subjective accounts of embodied experiences in the group of people over 85 years, dislodging narrow or assumptive views, contributing greater understanding, and providing a more encompassing view of life after 85 years. It further provided new insights into how identity and meaning are influenced by corporeal ageing. This knowledge may help to inform sociocultural theory, practice in various fields, policy guiding care of older people, education, and future research, offering more balanced, positive options for all of us as we ourselves age.

description: The emission sources of biocidal active substances in households have been under discussion since these substances have been detected frequently in municipal wastewater and receiving surface water bodies. Therefore, the goal of this study was to investigate the products responsible for the emission of these substances to wastewater. We analysed the wastewater of two streets for a set of biocidal active substances. Time-proportional sampling was conducted for one week of each season during one year in each street. The 14 substances analysed with liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry were 1,2-benzisothiazol-3(2H)-one (BIT), C12-benzalkonium chloride, carbendazim, 5-chloro-2-methyl-2H-isothiazol-3-one (CMIT), dichlorooctylisothiazolinone (DCOIT), N,N-diethyl-meta-toluamide (DEET), diuron, icaridine, 2-octyl-2H-isothiazol-3-one (OIT), piperonyl butoxide (PBO), triclosan, tebuconazole, terbutryn and tetramethrin. Using data available from household product inventories of the two streets, we searched the lists of ingredients for the products possibly being responsible for the emissions. Except for four substances, all substances have been detected in at least 10% of the samples. Highest concentrations were measured for C12-benzalkonium chloride with an average concentration in the daily samples of 7.7ng/L in one of the streets. Next to C12-benzalkonium chloride, BIT, DEET and icaridine were detected in all samples in average concentrations above 1ng/L in at least one street. The results show that washing and cleaning agents were important sources for preservatives such as BIT and OIT, while triclosan was apparently mainly emitted through personal care products. The mosquito repelling substances DEET and icaridine were found throughout the year, with highest emissions in summer and autumn. In conclusion, the results demonstrate that the sources of biocidal active substances in municipal wastewater are complex and that measures for the prevention of the emission of biocidal active substances into the aquatic environment have to be carried out under different legislations. This has to be taken into account discussing emission reduction at the source.

description: The existence of X-ray luminous gaseous coronae around massive disc galaxies is a long-standing prediction of galaxy formation theory in the cold dark matter cosmogony. This prediction has garnered little observational support, with non-detections commonplace and detections for only a relatively small number of galaxies which are much less luminous than expected. We investigate the coronal properties of a large sample of bright, disc-dominated galaxies extracted from the gimic suite of cosmological hydrodynamic simulations recently presented by Crain et al. Remarkably, the simulations reproduce the observed scalings of X-ray luminosity with K-band luminosity and star formation rate (SFR) and, when account is taken of the density structure of the halo, with disc rotation velocity as well. Most of the star formation in the simulated galaxies (which have realistic stellar mass fractions) is fuelled by gas cooling from a quasi-hydrostatic hot corona. However, these coronae are more diffuse, and of a lower luminosity, than predicted by the analytic models of White & Frenk because of a substantial increase in entropy at z~ 1-3. Both the removal of low entropy gas by star formation and energy injection from supernovae contribute to this increase in entropy, but the latter is dominant for halo masses M200<10^12.5 M(.). Only a small fraction of the mass of the hot gas is outflowing as a wind but, because of its high density and metallicity, it contributes disproportionally to the X-ray emission. The bulk of the X-ray emission, however, comes from the diffuse quasi-hydrostatic corona which supplies the fuel for ongoing star formation in discs today. Future deep X-ray observations with high spectral resolution (e.g. with NeXT/ASTRO-H or IXO) should be able to map the velocity structure of the hot gas and test this fundamental prediction of current galaxy formation theory.

description: The scope and limitations of the tandem oxy-Cope/Claisen/ene/Claisen and the oxy-Cope/Claisen/ene reactions were investigated through the synthesis of various substrates possessing both allyl and propargyl moieties on the tertiary hydroxyl group. Substrates 1 and 2 led to degradation or the isolation of complex mixtures, indicating that the tandem pericyclic sequences were very sensitive to functionality. The 1,3-enynes 3 were found to undergo an intramolecular [4+2] cycloaddition in place of the expected oxy-Cope/Claisen/ene rearrangement, thus generating aromatic compounds 4.* The tandem oxy-Cope/Claisen/ene/HDDA reaction was developed over the course of this research. Microwave irradiation of propargyl ethers 5 provided the diene intermediates 6 via a tandem oxy-Cope/Claisen/ene reaction. The corresponding magnesium alkoxides of 6, generated in situ by treatment with a solution of MgBr2-OEt2/base, reacted upon the addition of various dienophiles to afford the diterpenes 7 as sole diastereoisomers [dr > 25:1]. The scope and limitations of this reaction were investigated through the preparation of various derivatives.* *Please refer to dissertation for diagrams.

description: Questo articolo, proponendo una inversione di prospettiva metodologica, affronta il tema della presenza di stranieri e forestieri a Roma non tanto a partire dai fondamentali interrogativi che esso pone (l’origine, la permanenza, la capacità e le strategie di integrazione, la produzione culturale, la vita religiosa), quanto da ciò che di nuovo l’analisi sistematica di una specifica fonte primaria, in questo caso gli atti processuali prodotti dal tribunale del governatore di Roma, può fornire alla più generale riflessione storiografica, elementi talvolta forieri di inedite visioni e capaci di illuminare dettagli prima ignorati. Dopo aver esaminato nel suo insieme il fondo archivistico Tribunale criminale del governatore di Roma (1512-1809), conservato presso l’Archivio di Stato di Roma, e rilevato le potenzialità euristiche di ciascuna serie documentaria riguardo al tema in oggetto, il testo si sofferma in particolare su due questioni specifiche che gli incartamenti processuali prodotti tra XVI e XVII secolo consentono di indagare: la permanenza nel linguaggio parlato da forestieri e stranieri immigrati a Roma di elementi dialettali e linguistici propri della loro terra d’origine; l’articolazione non sempre lineare dei percorsi che portavano a Roma un peculiare soggetto sociale, le prostitute. Frammenti di oralità cristallizzata nei verbali d’interrogatorio e narrazioni individuali del venire, del restare, dell’integrarsi che possono contribuire a rendere più complesso e dinamico il già significativo quadro di conoscenze in merito ad un fenomeno, quello dell’immigrazione nella città dei papi, di fondamentale rilievo per chiunque intenda affrontare uno studio sulla Roma della prima età moderna.

description: This paper focuses on the role of women in the societies of ancient Latium. In this contribution many cases of burials are presented to illuminate the importance of their role. The analysis of these burials, in terms of grave goods and their setting within the grave, is carried out in comparison with  Etruscan and other pre-Roman areas and with attention to Greek and Roman literary sources, in order to present some specific aspects and activities that involved women in the aristocratic society of the Orientalizing period.

description: This brief note focuses on an unpublished seal of the Lyre Player Group found in Tarquinia. This particular class of seals, widespread in the basin of the Mediterranean and reaching the Italian Peninsula during the Orientalizing period, represents a good indicator for the  study of the circulation of craftsmen and traders. In particular, this paper presents some considerations about the development of glyptic in Etruria during the Orientalizing period.

description: Pulsar timing arrays (PTAs) can be used to search for very low frequency (10−9–10−7 Hz) gravitational waves (GWs). In this paper, we present a general method for the detection and localization of single-source GWs using PTAs. We demonstrate the effectiveness of this new method for three types of signals: monochromatic waves as expected from individual supermassive binary black holes in circular orbits, GWs from eccentric binaries and GW bursts. We also test its implementation in realistic data sets that include effects such as uneven sampling and heterogeneous data spans and measurement precision. It is shown that our method, which works in the frequency domain, performs as well as published time-domain methods. In particular, we find it equivalent to the FeFeFe-statistic for monochromatic waves. We also discuss the construction of null streams – data streams that have null response to GWs, and the prospect of using null streams as a consistency check in the case of detected GW signals. Finally, we present sensitivities to individual supermassive binary black holes in eccentric orbits. We find that a monochromatic search that is designed for circular binaries can efficiently detect eccentric binaries with both high and low eccentricities, while a harmonic summing technique provides greater sensitivities only for binaries with moderate eccentricities.

description: Ubiquitin Specific Peptidase 16 (USP16) has been reported to contribute to somatic stem-cell defects in Down syndrome. However, how this gene being regulated is largely unknown. To study the mechanism underlying USP16 gene expression, USP16 gene promoter was cloned and analyzed by luciferase assay. We identified that the 5′ flanking region (− 1856 bp ~ + 468 bp) of the human USP16 gene contained the functional promotor to control its transcription. Three bona fide NFκB binding sites were found in USP16 promoter. We showed that p65 overexpression enhanced endogenous USP16 mRNA level. Furthermore, LPS and TNFα, strong activators of the NFκB pathway, upregulated the USP16 transcription. Our data demonstrate that USP16 gene expression is tightly regulated at transcription level. NFκB signaling regulates the human USP16 gene expression through three cis-acting elements. The results provide novel insights into a potential role of dysregulation of USP16 expression in Alzheimer’s dementia in Down Syndrome.
Maximising production efficiency in sea urchin aquaculture

description: This thesis examines two phases of sea urchin aquaculture; the transition from larvae to juveniles (settlement) and growth of juveniles until harvest (grow-out). In the settlement phase, settlement inducers boosted settlement rates, but not survival. Optimising temperature, seawater carbonate chemistry and larval development boosted survival. In the grow-out phase, high densities and low exchange rates decreased growth and gonad production of juveniles and adults due to increased pCO2 and decreased alkalinity of culture water. Understanding how biogenic acidification and climate change may interact to affect production of calcifying invertebrates is a crucial challenge to efficient aquaculture into the future.
Understanding XCP: equilibrium and fairness

description: We prove that the XCP equilibrium solves a constrained max-min fairness problem by identifying it with the unique solution of a hierarchy of optimization problems, namely those solved by max-min fair allocation, but solved by XCP under an additional constraint. This constraint is due to the 'bandwidth shuffling' necessary to obtain fairness. We describe an algorithm to compute this equilibrium and derive a lower and upper bound on link utilization. While XCP reduces to max-min allocation at a single link, its behavior in a network can be very different. We illustrate that the additional constraint can cause flows to receive an arbitrarily small fraction of their max-min fair allocations. We confirm these results using ns2 simulations.

description: Population declines have been documented in green turtles due to anthropogenic activities. Stranding events have increased, with sick turtles often transported to rehabilitation clinics and head start programs have been created overcome the high natal mortality rate. This thesis found that for green turtles undergoing rehabilitation, existing blood reference intervals have limited prognostic significance; the novel biomarkers D-dimer and nitrate are elevated; metabolomic profiles indicate cachexia and cardiac performance is compromised. Regarding head start programs, turtles should be released shortly after feeding, to avoid cachexic states and decreased exercise performance that can be associated with short-term and medium-term fasting.

description: Coastal wetlands represent important biogeochemical hotspots for carbon cycling and greenhouse gas (GHG) production. Large uncertainties remain in both the global wetland GHG emissions budgets, due to spatial and temporal heterogeneity, insufficient global data and previously unknown sources. This thesis resolves some of the complexities surrounding key GHG emissions and drivers, from a range of disturbed coastal wetland ecosystems. By utilising novel methods, capturing high temporal and spatial resolution data, and uncovering cryptic un-accounted for emissions pathways, this thesis represents an important contribution to the global carbon budgets from previously understudied southern hemisphere systems.
