Impact of Bengoh Dam Construction to Erosion and Sedimentation along Sg. Sarawak Kiri using InfoWorks RS
Creators: name: Mersal, Mohd Elfy Bin
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This research was conducted to study the impact of Bengoh Dam construction on Sarawak Kiri river erosion and sedimentation. The research utilised InfoWorks RS to create the Sarawak Kiri river model and to perform sedimentation and erosion modelling along the Sarawak Kiri river. Two river models were created by using InfoWorks RS, one which includes Bengoh Dam and the other, without Bengoh Dam. Both models have the same data and river cross-section. The research conducted could be used to predict the areas affected by the dam construction and a mitigation process could be planned to solve them.

description: Background A common complaint of individuals suffering from mental health conditions is feeling invalidated or misunderstood by care providers. This is notable, given that non-collaborative care has been linked to poor engagement, low motivation and treatment non-adherence. This study examined how receiving validation from care providers is experienced by individuals who have an eating disorder (ED) and the impact of receiving validation on the recovery journey. Methods Eighteen individuals who had an eating disorder for an average duration of 19.1 years (two identifying as male, 16 identifying as female), participated in semi-structured interviews on barriers and facilitators to self-compassion. Seven were fully recovered, and 11 were currently participating in recovery-focused residential treatment. Thematic analysis focused on the meaning and impact of receiving validation to participants. Results Five care provider actions were identified: (i) making time and space for me, (ii) offering a compassionate perspective, (iii) understanding and recognizing my treatment needs, (iv) showing me I can do this, and (v) walking the runway. These were associated with four key experiences (feeling trust, cared for, empowered, and inspired), that participants described as supportive of their recovery. Conclusions This research provides insight into patient perspectives of validation and strategies care providers can use, such as compassionate reframing of difficult life experiences, matching interventions to patient readiness, and modeling vulnerability.Plain English Summary Feeling validated (or feeling understood and accepted) is an important aspect of a patient’s experience with health care providers. The purpose of this research was to learn about the role of validation in eating disorders treatment from patients’ perspectives, and to learn how the experience of validation supports recovery from an eating disorder. In this research, interviews were conducted with eighteen individuals who were either currently seeking intensive treatment for an eating disorder or had recently recovered. Five care provider actions were identified as engendering feelings of validation: (i) making time and space for me, (ii) offering a compassionate perspective, (iii) understanding and recognizing my treatment needs, (iv) showing me I can do this, and (v) walking the runway. These actions were associated with four key patient experiences: feeling trust, cared for, empowered, and inspired. Recommendations for care providers to practice validation are made based on study findings.
Am I Too Branded? Fame Labour and Microcelebrity Culture

description: Jonathan's thesis introduced the term ‘fame labour’ which describes the emotion work involved in managing dissonance between a branded self on social media and offline identities. He explains how social media users negotiate diverse sexualised and aesthetic performances when building personal online brands. He argues that fame labour both characterizes and transforms identity composition, changing the way people understand themselves and relate to others.

description: Analyses of disease-free survival data for certain cancer types indicate that cohorts of patients treated for cancer consist of individuals who are susceptible to experience cancer related events and individuals who are cured. Cured individuals do not experience any cancer related event, and eventually die due to other causes. Individuals who are not cured may die after experiencing cancer recurrence or without experiencing any recurrence. Cure status is a partially latent variable and is only known if a disease related event, cancer recurrence or cancer death, is observed. Causes of some observed deaths may be masked. To model disease progression events, which are cancer recurrence and cancer death, we consider a multi-state model including partially latent cured and not cured states. We describe our modeling approach and discuss an inference method incorporating masked causes of deaths. Our method allows us to identify factors associated with the risk of experiencing a disease related event and with timing of disease events after the treatment of cancer. It is of interest to make inference on direct exposure effects on time-to-event outcomes in many studies. Traditional survival analysis methods may not reveal direct exposure effects on time-to-event outcomes when there are indirect exposure effects through intermediate variables which are confounded by some unmeasured factors. We propose a mediation analysis method to make inference about direct exposure effects on time-to-event outcomes under additive hazards model using estimating equations methodology. We examine properties of the proposed method and compare them with traditional survival analysis methods and the existing two-stage mediation analysis method which uses additive hazards model. The results show that our method provides valid inference about controlled direct exposure effects on time-to-event outcomes by successfully removing indirect effects through intermediate variables. It is robust against measured and unmeasured confounding of indirect effects.

description: Survivors of severe SARS-CoV-2 infections frequently suffer from a range of post-infection sequelae. Whether survivors of mild or asymptomatic infections can expect any long-term health consequences is not yet known. Herein we investigated lasting changes to soluble inflammatory factors and cellular immune phenotype and function in individuals who had recovered from mild SARS-CoV-2 infections (n = 22), compared to those that had recovered from other mild respiratory infections (n = 11). Individuals who had experienced mild SARS-CoV-2 infections had elevated levels of C-reactive protein 1–3 months after symptom onset, and changes in phenotype and function of circulating T-cells that were not apparent in individuals 6–9 months post-symptom onset. Markers of monocyte activation, and expression of adherence and chemokine receptors indicative of altered migratory capacity, were also higher at 1–3 months post-infection in individuals who had mild SARS-CoV-2, but these were no longer elevated by 6–9 months post-infection. Perhaps most surprisingly, significantly more T-cells could be activated by polyclonal stimulation in individuals who had recently experienced a mild SARS-CoV-2, infection compared to individuals with other recent respiratory infections. These data are indicative of prolonged immune activation and systemic inflammation that persists for at least three months after mild or asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infections.

description: We analyse a generalised Fokker-Planck equation by making essential use of its linearisability through a Cole-Hopf transformation. We determine solutions of travelling wave and multi-kink type by resorting to a geometric construction in the regime of small viscosity. The resulting asymptotic solutions are time-dependent Heaviside step functions representing classical (viscous) shock waves. As a result, line segments in the space of independent variables arise as resonance conditions of exponentials and represent shock trajectories. We then discuss fusion and fission dynamics exhibited by the multi-kinks by drawing parallels in terms of shock collisions and scattering processes between particles, which preserve total mass and momentum. Finally, we propose Bäcklund transformations and examine their action on the solutions to the equation under study.

description: Waterlogging tolerant tree species exert a critical role in forest preservation and the associated water conservation in flood prone areas. Clarifying the patterns and drivers of water uptake by waterlogging tolerant trees is crucial for forest management in flood-prone areas, especially in the scenario of precipitation changes in the estuary delta. Here, we uploaded the values of δD and δ¹⁸O obtained from soil and xylem waters to a Bayesian mixed model (MixSIAR) to determine the water use pattern of Taxodium distichum, a waterlogging tolerant tree, following different magnitudes of rainfall events in three sites of the Yangtze River Delta, China. We further conducted variation partitioning analysis and a random forest model to discern the dominant factor driving plant water uptake. Our results indicated that T. distichum mainly absorbed soil water from shallow soil layers (0–40 cm, 43.63%–74.70%), while the percentage of water uptake from deep soil layers was lower in the Yangtze River Delta (60–100 cm, 13.43%–35.90%), whether in light, moderate, or heavy rainfall conditions. Furthermore, our results demonstrated that tree traits, such as fine root biomass, are dominantly driving plant water uptake. These findings imply that waterlogging tolerant tree species could increase the percentage of water uptake from shallow soils by changing their plant attributes, which would effectively improve the water conservation of forests in the estuary delta.
XR4Human D2.3: The Moral Programming of XR, and What We can Learn from the AI Experience

description: Extended Reality (XR) technology is on the rise. The technology becomes more complex, is applied in countless contexts (as a professional instrument, a research tool or in the field of leisure), and its use becomes more widespread amongst citizens. It can be considered as the ‘next big thing’ to Artificial Intelligence. As with each new technology, its development comes with new moral problems, and new moral problems urge new moral solutions. Usually, these solutions are found in the short term in ethical frameworks or codes of conducts and on the long term in (enforceable) laws. In this contribution, we propose to not step in the pitfalls of the past and learn from the AI experience in the context of setting moral boundaries for technology development. We propose a moral procedure called ‘moral programming’ that should enable technology developers and tech-policy makers to recognize and identify moral issues that need to be answered by those who are to be affected by the new technology, equip them with a meta-method to establish a bottom-up crowd sourced ethics approach (including feedback loops) in their design process, to align values of those whom it concerns and those who develop/govern. To this end we reflect on 1) when are moral issues high stake moral issues that need the ‘special treatment’ of a moral programming approach? 2) how can we decide who should be the moral authority on the moral programming in itself? And 3) what does moral programming look like, and how can it be done? In conclusion, we will focus on several particular challenges that are exemplary for XR (and in particular AIXR) technology.

description: Aims: Alcohol pricing policies may reduce alcohol-related harms, yet little work has been done to model their effectiveness beyond health outcomes especially in Australia. We aim to estimate the impacts of four taxation and minimum unit pricing (MUP) interventions on selected social harms across sex and age subgroups in Australia. Methods: We used econometrics and epidemiologic simulations using demand elasticity and risk measures. We modelled four policies including (A) uniform excise rates (UER) (based on alcohol units) (B) MUP $1.30 on all alcoholic beverages (C) UER + 10 % (D) MUP$ 1.50. People who consumed alcohol were classified as (a) moderate (≤ 14 Australian standard drinks (SDs) per week) (b) Hazardous (15–42 SDs per week for men and 14–35 ASDs for women) and (c) Harmful (> 42 SDs per week for men and > 35 ASDs for women). Outcomes were sickness absence, sickness presenteeism, unemployment, antisocial behaviours, and police-reported crimes. We used relative risk functions from meta-analysis, cohort study, cross-sectional survey, or attributable fractions from routine criminal records. We applied the potential impact fraction to estimate the reduction in social harms by age group and sex after implementation of pricing policies. Results: All four modelled pricing policies resulted in a decrease in the overall mean baseline of current alcohol consumption, primarily due to fewer people drinking harmful amounts. These policies also reduced the total number of crimes and workplace harms compared to the current taxation system. These reductions were consistent across all age and sex subgroups. Specifically, sickness absence decreased by 0.2–0.4 %, alcohol-related sickness presenteeism by 7–9 %, unemployment by 0.5–0.7 %, alcohol-related antisocial behaviours by 7.3–11.1 %, and crimes by 4–6 %. Of all the policies, the implementation of a $1.50 MUP resulted in the largest reductions across most outcome measures. Conclusion: Our results highlight that alcohol pricing policies can address the burden of social harms in Australia. However, pricing policies should just form part of a comprehensive alcohol policy approach along with other proven policy measures such as bans on aggressive marketing of alcoholic products and enforcing the restrictions on the availability of alcohol through outlet density regulation or reduced hours of sale to have a more impact on social harms.

Antioxidant and cytotoxic effect of Dillenia suffruticosa and Eugenia polyantha water extracts against nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells
Creators: name: Musa, Nur Diyana
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This study examined the antioxidant activities and cytotoxicity extracts of aqueous extracts of Eugenia polyantha and Dillenia suffruticosa. E. polyantha possessed high phenolic contents (6.62mg GAE/ 100mg) and also high antioxidant activity as determined using DPPH (EC50 = 60.9 mg/L) and ABTS (EC50 = 24.2 mg/L) assays. Furthermore, E. polyantha was able to reduce the NPC/HK1 cancer cell viability (IC50 = 61.5 mg/L) while D. suffruticosa was able to prevent the cell migration at 72 mg/L (IC25 value) after 24h of incubation.
Force-current structure in Markovian open quantum systems and its applications: geometric housekeeping-excess decomposition and thermodynamic trade-off relations

description: Thermodynamic force and irreversible current are the foundational concepts of classical nonequilibrium thermodynamics. Entropy production rate is provided by their product in classical systems, ranging from mesoscopic to macroscopic systems. However, there is no complete quantum extension of such a structure that respects quantum mechanics. In this paper, we propose anti-Hermitian operators that represent currents and forces accompanied by a gradient structure in open quantum systems described by the quantum master equation. We prove that the entropy production rate is given by the product of the force and current operators, which extends the canonical expression of the entropy production rate in the classical systems. The framework constitutes a comprehensive analogy with the nonequilibrium thermodynamics of discrete classical systems. We also show that the structure leads to the extensions of some results in stochastic thermodynamics: the geometric housekeeping-excess decomposition of entropy production and thermodynamic trade-off relations such as the thermodynamic uncertainty relation and the dissipation-time uncertainty relation. In discussing the trade-off relations, we will introduce a measure of fluctuation, which we term the quantum diffusivity.

Prenatal Adversity Alters the Epigenetic Profile of the Prefrontal Cortex: Sexually Dimorphic Effects of Prenatal Alcohol Exposure and Food-Related Stress

description: Prenatal adversity or stress can have long-term consequences on developmental trajectories and health outcomes. Although the biological mechanisms underlying these effects are poorly understood, epigenetic modifications, such as DNA methylation, have the potential to link early-life environments to alterations in physiological systems, with long-term functional implications. We investigated the consequences of two prenatal insults, prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) and food-related stress, on DNA methylation profiles of the rat brain during early development. As these insults can have sex-specific effects on biological outcomes, we analyzed epigenome-wide DNA methylation patterns in prefrontal cortex, a key brain region involved in cognition, executive function, and behavior, of both males and females. We found sex-dependent and sex-concordant influences of these insults on epigenetic patterns. These alterations occurred in genes and pathways related to brain development and immune function, suggesting that PAE and food-related stress may reprogram neurobiological/physiological systems partly through central epigenetic changes, and may do so in a sex-dependent manner. Such epigenetic changes may reflect the sex-specific effects of prenatal insults on long-term functional and health outcomes and have important implications for understanding possible mechanisms underlying fetal alcohol spectrum disorder and other neurodevelopmental disorders.
Investigating the Electroweak Phase Transition with a Real Scalar Singlet at a Muon Collider

description: A strong first-order electroweak phase transition (SFOEWPT) is essential for explaining baryogenesis and for potentially generating observable gravitational waves. This study investigates the potential of a high-energy muon collider to examine the occurrence of SFOEWPT within the context of a Standard Model extended by a real scalar singlet (xSM). We analyzed all possible decay modes of the singlet to constrain the valid parameter space of SFOEWPT, which was extracted numerically at different renormalization scales to account for theoretical uncertainties, thereby determining the sensitivity of a muon collider to the production and decay channels of novel heavy scalar particles that emerge in the xSM. The findings demonstrate that a 3 TeV muon collider can directly examine the nature of electroweak symmetry breaking by efficiently detecting novel scalar particles associated with a first-order electroweak phase transition through jet-rich final states, thus complementing the indirect constraints from gravitational wave experiments.

Broadband communication enables sustainable energy services

description: Australia's electricity supply infrastructure requires investments exceeding $100b over the next 25 years to maintain quality of service to domestic users. Being careful to distinguish energy service needs from electricity delivery, the case is made for distributed energy services which offer improved sustainability outcomes to the traditional monolithic generation model. A key enabling technology for commercial success of the proposed paradigm is a broadband communication infrastructure. Broadband is essential in meeting the cost reduction and performance targets that would allow a distributed energy service model to succeed. Using broadband, a large number of novel business opportunities arise. A case study on solar water heaters is presented showing that a broadband enabled smart controller can realise 20% greenhouse gas savings for a conventional solar water heater and 75% savings for an electrical water heater.
