description: In this thesis, we will present examples of Voronoi diagrams that are not tessellations. Moreover, we will find sufficient conditions on subspaces of E2, S2 and the Poincaré disk and the sets of sites that guarantee that the Voronoi diagrams are pre-triangulations. We will also study g-spaces, which are metric spaces with ‘extendable’ geodesics joining any 2 points and give properties for a set of sites in a g-space that again guarantees that the Voronoi diagram is a pre-triangulation.

description: The ‘platformization’ of students, using standardised assessment data visualisations, claim to offer teachers objective stimuli to inform pedagogical decision-making. However, the quantifiable assumptions that data regimes rely on render schooling as metricised and performative. Data is not neutral. This inquiry draws attention to the presence, capacity, and potential of affect in teacher data relations. As a post qualitative inquiry, the research problematises data governance, deconstructs the nuances of data mechanisms, and experiments with 'what does data do?' to better understand the force and potential of affect in teacher data practices. This inquiry outlines how teachers are affected and affecting with/in school-data-events. It is argued that affective ways of knowledge-ing are necessary in an educational era dominated by the representational logics of data.

description: Background: One in nine emergency department (ED) visits in Canada are caused by adverse drug events, the unintended and harmful effects of medication use. Medication reviews by clinical pharmacists are interventions designed to optimize medications and address adverse drug events to impact patient outcomes. However, the effect of medication reviews on long-term outpatient health services utilization is not well understood. This research studied the effect of medication review performed by clinical pharmacists on long-term outpatient health services utilization. Methods: Data included information from 10,783 patients who were part of a prospective, multi-centre quality improvement evaluation from 2011 to 2013. Outpatient health services utilization was defined as total ED visits and physician contacts, aggregated to four physician specialty groups: general and family practitioners (GP); medical specialists; surgical specialists; and imaging and laboratory specialists. During triage, patients deemed high-risk based on their medical history, were systematically allocated to receive either a medication review (n = 6403) or the standard of care (n = 4380). Medication review involved a critical examination of a patient’s medications to identify and resolve medication-related problems and communicate these results to community care providers. Interrupted time series analysis compared the effect of the intervention on health services utilization relative to the standard of care controlling for pre-intervention differences in utilization. Results: ED-based pharmacist-led medication review did not result in a significant level or trend change in the primary outcome of total outpatient health services utilization. There were also no differences in the secondary outcomes of primary care physician visits or ED visits relative to the standard of care in the 12 months following the intervention. Our findings were consistent when stratified by age, hospital site, and whether patients were discharged on their index visit. Conclusion: This was the first study to measure long-term trends of physician visits following an ED-based medication review. The lack of differences in level and trend of GP and ED visits suggest that pharmacist recommendations may not have been adequately communicated to community-based providers, and/or recommendations may not have affected health care delivery. Future studies should evaluate physician acceptance of pharmacist recommendations and should encourage patient follow-up to community providers.

description: Chlamydial disease continues to be one of the main factors threatening the long-term survival of the koala (Phascolarctos cinereus). Chlamydia pecorum is a mucosal pathogen, causing debilitating disease of the urinary tract, reproductive tract and ocular sites of koalas, and can lead to infertility, and blindness. Antibiotics are the current treatment for chlamydial infection and disease in koalas however, antibiotics can be detrimental to the koala's gastrointestinal tract microbiota and in severe cases, can lead to dysbiosis and death. Alternatives to antibiotic treatment are desperately needed. The development of an anti-chlamydial vaccine is a logical treatment choice to overcome these unwanted side effects and provide long-term management of Chlamydia in wild koala populations. This was the major goal of this thesis project. Before developing a vaccine however, a better understanding of the prevalence, transmission and pathogenesis in wild koala populations is needed to improve control measures. Large epidemiological studies reporting the prevalence of infection and disease in wild koala populations are lacking. The prevalence of disease is often reported as overt signs, which does not include asymptomatic koalas experiencing sub-clinical disease. Furthermore, hospital-based studies are a biased subset of the wild koala population, as only sick and injured koalas are presented for treatment. To gain an accurate insight into the prevalence of C. pecorum infection and subsequent disease in koalas, I conducted a cross-sectional epidemiological study on 160 wild koalas residing in South East Queensland, Australia. During this project I developed two novel koala anti-Chlamydia vaccines. To overcome unwanted side effects often seen in koalas following antibiotic treatment, I assessed the therapeutic effects of a recombinant major outer membrane protein (rMOMP) vaccine on seven wild koalas with ocular disease. The possibility of a C. pecorum rMOMP vaccine that can provide a therapeutic effect is a promising prospect for wild koalas that have progressed to disease. This study assessed both humoral and cell-mediated responses at pre-vaccination and for six-weeks post-vaccination. In addition, this study also evaluated the infecting genotypes, MCH class II alleles and presence of koala retrovirus (KoRV) in ocular diseased koalas.
Rational Design, Synthesis and Evaluation of Novel Second Mitochondrial-Derived Activators of Caspase (Smac) Mimetics That Induce Apoptosis in Human MDA-MB-231 Breast Cancer Cell Line

description: Programmed cell death (apoptosis) is the most common mechanism of cell death in eukaryotes. The ability of cancer cells to evade and inhibit apoptosis has become a hallmark feature of cancer. This is accomplished through a family of proteins known as the inhibitor of apoptosis proteins (IAPs). X-Linked inhibitor of apoptosis protein (XIAP) is one of the best characterized IAPs. XIAP suppresses apoptosis by forming complexes with cysteine-aspartic proteases (caspase), through one of its baculovirus IAP repeat (BIR) domains. Its activity is endogenously antagonized by a second mitochondria derived activator of caspase (Smac). The anti-apoptotic behaviour of XIAP and the critical role it plays in the apoptotic program makes the Smac-XIAP interaction an important drug target. To this end, our laboratory is interested in synthesizing biologically related Smac mimetics which can induce apoptosis in a MDA-MB-231 cell line. Efforts have focused on (1) understanding BIR domain binding sites which allow for this interaction, and (2) the design and synthesis of molecules which are much more effective at inducing apoptosis compared to other well known analogues. Through the synthesis and evaluation of various divalent Smac mimetics we have been able to support the hypothesis that the likely binding site on XIAP is the BIR3 domain. As well, through the synthesis of a library of novel compounds, as described in the thesis, we have been able to assess the nature of the linker which joins the two tetrapeptide units. In our effort to understand which domains Smac binds with, various divalent analogues were synthesized containing MeAVPI-linker-IPVMeA (forward-reverse) and MeAVPI-linker-MeAVPI (forward-forward) sequence, which incorporated linkers with varying degrees of flexibility. We hypothesized that the forward-forward divalent mimetics would have decreased activity compared to the peptides synthesized in a forward-reverse fashion. Lastly, information gathered from structure activity relationship (SAR) studies have shown that substituting the lysine (P2) and isoleucine residues (P4) in the AVPI protein can create more potent inducers of apoptosis than its native AVPI sequence. As one of the most potent Smac mimetic that has been previously made known contains an alkyne bridge at P2 and a large hydrophobic moiety at P4, we hypothesized that similar Smac mimetics containing a propargyl glycine residue at P2 and a bulky hydrophobic moiety at P4 will be much more potent in inducing apoptosis.

description: Cancer incidence is increasing and so are survival rates. The aftermath of cancer includes multi-dimensional and long-lasting effects that prevent individuals from recovering and re-integrating into their daily routines. Cancer systems attend to patients during diagnosis and treatment, but often fall short in providing continuity of care afterward. This results in a considerable number of individuals living with the effects of cancer, with little support care. While there are evidence-based recommendations to improve follow-up cancer care, the extent to which they have been implemented remains unknown. To support the needs of cancer survivors The Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation developed a Cancer Coaching Program (CCP). As life and health coaching interventions have been shown to benefit this population, this study aimed to explore the impacts of the CCP on the lives of cancer survivors. Using a grounded theory approach, the experiences of (n=12) cancer survivors who had previously participated in the program were explored, to create an explanatory model. Descriptive results depicted various beneficial outcomes to participating in the CCP. The dominant role of the CCP is to support survivors by “bridging the gap” to survivorship, through tailored coaching services. This study provides insight into the mechanisms that work for this cancer coaching program, which may be helpful for other programs exploring strategies to assist this population.

Effectiveness of Floating Wetlands in Treating Stormwater Pollutants from Urban Runoff
Creators: name: Reeves, Kristin
Publisher: name: University of the Sunshine Coast, Queensland
Year: 2014

description: The effectiveness of floating wetlands in treating stormwater pollutants from urban runoff was investigated in this study. The monitoring site for the Floating Treatment Wetland (FTW) is located within an ongoing residential development off Crystal Avenue, Bongaree, on Bribie Island, Queensland. The FTW system covers approximately 1.7% of its accommodating lake and receives runoff from an external developed catchment of 10 hectares. The system was assessed through event based sampling and a simulated flow event at two different flow rates (100L/s and 200L/s). Registry problems with the flow meter resulted in six out of nine event based samples and all twenty-three simulated flow samples being time weighted rather than flow weighted. The event based samples produced average percent removal efficiencies of 3.9%, 0% and -1.7% for Total Suspended Solids (TSS), Total Phosphorus (TP) and Total Nitrogen (TN) respectively, as a result of low influent pollutant concentrations and flow rates. The simulated event produced average percent removal efficiencies of 95.6%, 89.5% and 41.1% for TSS, TP and TN for the 100L/s samples and 68.1%, 57.5% and 12.9% for the 200L/s samples. Greater percentage removal efficiencies are likely due to higher influent pollutant concentrations and substantial flow rates.

Effects of photoperiod, temperature, and diet on the development of the banded woollybear, Pyrrharctia (Isia) isabella (J. E. Smith) (Lepidoptera: Arctiidae).

Subjects: subject: Biology, Entomology.

description: The banded woollybear, Pyrrharctia isabella (J. E. Smith) was reared under laboratory conditions from egg to adult. Groups of individually reared larvae were kept at one of 8 photoperiods and in combination with one of 4 temperatures and were fed one of 6 artificial diets and fresh plantain. The times of moulting, head capsule widths, larval and pupal weights, and adult characteristics (fertility, sex) were recorded. Larvae were easily reared on bean, wheat germ, casein-wheat germ and fresh plantain, while casein, alfalfa, and plantain diets proved unsatisfactory. Development time increased at photoperiods longer than 14 hours. This increase was characterized by extra instars. The results suggest that scotophase may be more important than photophase in influencing development. Temperature did not affect overall larval development time although higher temperatures did slow the growth rate. Mature larvae were found to undergo an obligatory diapause in the Montreal-Ottawa area. Chilling was not an absolute requirement for diapause development, although mortality was high at higher temperatures. Diapausing larvae at 30°C were found not to be cold hardy. Increments in head capsule widths at each successive instar did not follow Dyar's rule. The relationships between voltinism and obligatory diapause, cold-hardiness and diapause, photoperiod, temperature and development, chilling and diapause development as well as Dyar's rule are discussed.

description: In his book "Lectures on Rings and Modules" Professor J. Lambek introduced Extl based on the "Square Lemma". In this thesis his approach has been used to define Extn for any positive integer n. This definition will be called symmetric definition of Ext n, since it is symmetric in both projective and injective modules. The equivalence of this new definition of Extn and the ordinary one has been shown. This symmetric definition together with the Square Lemma gives us an elegant method of diagram chasing, by squares instead of elements. Some applications are given.

text-music relationships

description: This thesis explores text-music relationships in Dallapiccola’s Goethe Lieder. Though the cycle is based on Goethe’s West-östlicher divan, it was Mann’s novel Joseph und seine Brüder that spurred its inception. This seven-song cycle revolves around Suleika, a character from the biblical love story of Joseph and Potiphar’s Wife. Dallapiccola set this text upon reading Mann’s novel, which stems from the same story; however, Mann portrayed the character of Suleika as a sympathetic lover rather than the traditional evil seductress. By conducting a thorough pitch structure analysis of each song, focusing in particular on motives, symmetry and aggregates, this thesis examines text-music relationships to demonstrate how Mann’s Suleika is musically represented. This thesis illustrates that Dallapiccola’s setting is a musical composite of both Goethe and Mann’s Suleikas and thus sheds new analytical and hermeneutic light on an important work by one of the twentieth-century’s most prominent serial composers.

description: Information systems in the healthcare sector are often critical applications upon which both healthcare workers and patients rely for expedient service. In the radiology industry, the reliance on technology is high and the search for software and systems that allow for the timely process of patient diagnosis is of the utmost importance. However, empirical evidence has shown that, in the medical field, the use of enterprise-wide systems has been problematic and further research is needed into health information systems (HIS) usage and assimilation issues. Thus, this research addresses the research questions of: What are the enablers and inhibitors in the assimilation of a new ICT in radiology practices? and How useful are the four dimensions of the social actor model in illuminating the microand macro-level constructs and contexts that impact on HIS assimilation in the healthcare industry? Based on the research questions, four research issues were developed to illuminate the appropriateness of the four dimensions of the social actor framework: 1). Do the affiliations of an organisation influence ICT assimilation and further use in the healthcare industry? 2). Does the organisational environment, including the level of institutional and technological pressures that influence the organisation, impact on ICT assimilation and further use in the healthcare industry? 3). Do the internal and external interactions of an organisation influence ICT assimilation and further use in the healthcare industry? and 4). Do the identities of social actors influence ICT assimilation and further use in the healthcare industry?

description: Background: Knowledge brokering is a knowledge translation approach that includes making connections between researchers and decision-makers to facilitate the latter’s use of evidence in health promotion and the provision of healthcare. Despite knowledge brokering being well-established in Canada, many knowledge gaps exist, including understanding what theoretical frameworks have been developed and which evaluative practices knowledge brokers (KBs) use. Methods: This study used a mixed methods design to examine how KBs in Canada (1) use frameworks, models and theories in their practice and (2) how they evaluate knowledge brokering interventions. We gathered interview and survey data from KB practitioners to better understand their perspectives on effective practices. Our analysis focused on understanding the theoretical frameworks used by KBs. Results: This study demonstrates that KBs in Canada tend not to rely on theories or models that are specific to knowledge brokering. Rather, study participants/respondents draw on (sometimes multiple) theories and models that are fundamental to the broader field of knowledge translation – in particular, the Knowledge to Action model and the Promoting Action Research in Health Sciences framework. In evaluating the impact of their own knowledge brokering practice, participants/respondents use a wide variety of mechanisms. Evaluation was often seen as less important than supporting knowledge users and/or paying clients in accessing and utilising evidence. Conclusions: Knowledge brokering as a form of knowledge translation continues to expand, but the impact on its targeted knowledge users has yet to be clearly established. The quality of engagement between KBs and their clients might increase – the knowledge brokering can be more impactful – if KBs made efforts to describe, understand and evaluate their activities using theories or models specific to KB.

description: This dissertation furthers cultural legal studies by deploying formal adaptation analysis as a cultural legal method. In doing so, it engages critically with form and its stake in our modern legality. It takes seriously Peter Goodrich’s argument that ‘[e]ach new medium underpins a new world and a changed form of law’1 by examining the way in which forms of law and justice are transformed by their representation across different mediums. To perform such a study is to embrace Caroline Levine’s ‘strategic formalism’ and to further the affective work of cultural legal scholars, whose scholarship has focused upon how modes of cultural representation and their mediation impact understandings of law. This dissertation demonstrates the significance of formal adaptation analysis for cultural legal studies by considering two legal paradigms as presented in adapted multi-texts: stasis (civil war) and dispositif (apparatus).

Suicide reporting guidelines

Cross-sector communication

description: Research suggests that reporting suicide has the potential to influence vulnerable individuals to emulate suicide behaviour. Media guidelines for the responsible reporting of suicide have been developed and disseminated worldwide, but with mixed success. One factor that may influence guideline uptake is the degree to which health professionals have collaborated with the media professionals in guideline development, dissemination and implementation. The study used semi-structured interviews with media professionals to understand attitudes towards the guidelines, to explore the ways in the media were engaged in communication regarding the guidelines, and to identify whether this engagement bears upon media attitudes toward the guidelines. Findings indicate that media professionals view the guidelines as useful information within the bounds of normal reporting, but find them difficult to implement. Excellence theory indicates that the predominantly one-way and asymmetrical strategies used to engage the media in communication around the guidelines may play a role in these attitudes. The study echoes literature suggesting that collaborative guideline development and implementation is essential to meaningfully change suicide reporting practices.
Slagging in Entrained-flow Gasifiers

description: Gasification is a flexible technology which is applied in industry for electricity generation, hydrogen production, steam raising and liquid fuels production. Furthermore, it can utilize one or more feedstocks such as coal, biomass, municipal waste and petroleum coke. This versatility, in addition to being adaptable to various emissions control technologies (including carbon capture) renders it an attractive option for years to come. One of the most common gasifier types is the entrained-flow slagging gasifier. The behaviour of inorganic fuel components in these gasifiers is still ill-understood even though it can be the determining factor in their design and operation. A literature review of inorganic matter transformation sub-models for entrained-flow slagging gasifiers is provided. Slag viscosity was identified as a critical property in the sub-models. Slag viscosity models are only applicable to a limited range of slag compositions and conditions, and their performance is not easily assessed. An artificial neural network model was developed to predict slag viscosity over a broad range of temperatures and slag compositions. Furthermore, a toolbox was developed to assist slag viscosity model users in the selection of the best model for given slag compositions and conditions, and to help users determine how well the best model will perform. The slag viscosities of coal, petroleum coke and coal/petroleum coke blends were measured in the temperature range of 1175-1650ºC. Interaction of vanadium-rich slags with various materials was investigated. The results from the first two parts of a three-part research program which involves fuel characterization, testing in a 1 MWth gasifier, and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling for entrained-flow slagging gasification are presented. The end goal is to develop a CFD model which includes inorganic matter transformations. Fuel properties were determined with prioritization based on their application; screening of potential fuels, ensuring proper gasifier operation, gasifier design and/or CFD modeling. Using CanmetENERGY’s 1 MWth gasifier, five gasification tests were completed with the characterized coals. Solid samples from the refractory liners, in-situ gas sampling probe sheaths and impingers, the slag tap, the slag pot, quench discharge water and scrubber water were collected and characterized.

description: This qualitative study offers an in-depth description of a high school professional learning community (PLC) as it focuses on enhancing the teaching and learning of the Grade 9 Applied Mathematics curriculum. The teachers’ goal in this PLC is to implement strategies they believe best meet the needs of their students. Over the course of one school year data was collected during PLC meetings and through individual participant interviews. Data was analyzed and used to answer the following research questions: How is a PLC formed and sustained, and how does it evolve throughout the process of teachers examining their practice? What happens when a professional community of learners comes together to discuss, dissect and reflect on their own practice with the intention of broadening their understanding of teaching mathematics? Analysis of the data revealed that teachers came together through their shared work of teaching in ways that address the needs of students in applied level mathematics. Through external funding and strong leadership and support from the school Principal, this PLC created opportunities to meet and collaborate. During meetings the PLC members discussed their pedagogical challenges, focused on the needs of students and student learning, designed lessons that would specifically target the needs of their students, observed each other teach these co-designed lessons, and finally discussed and reflected on the taught lesson. This process was repeated throughout the year, each time building on lessons learned from previous experiences. Although the PLC members described how being out of their class to collaborate did pose some challenges, overall they described their experience in the PLC as the most powerful professional development of their careers.

Experience-based pedagogical designs for elearning
Creators: name: Ip, Albert

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: In this paper, we discuss a selection of experience-based pedagogical designs, which stand to make the most of the opportunities afforded by information and communications technology. In the literature on experience-based pedagogical designs there is no clear distinction made between first person experience and third person experience (also seen as stories). In an information and communications technology-based learning (ICT) environment, reference to the first person is inherent in the design, and stories are seen as learning resources. Hence, in this paper we examine the potential role of ICT from two angles: the sources of experience and stories; and the need for peers to support the building of experience and whether such peer group support can be organized in a technological environment.
Impacts of landscape resource diversity and availability on bee foraging and fitness

description: Loss of natural and semi-natural habitat due to increasing human land use for agriculture and housing has led to widespread declines in bee pollinator diversity and abundance, which raised global concerns about the stability of pollination services. Bee population dynamics depend on floral resource diversity and availability in the surrounding landscape, and loss of plant biodiversity may thus directly impair the fitness of individual bee species. However, whether and how plant and resource diversity and availability affect foraging patterns, resource intake, resource quantity and nutrient quality and ultimately fitness of generalist social bees remains unclear. In this thesis, we placed hives of the Australian eusocial stingless bee Tetragonula carbonaria (Apidae, Meliponini) in natural habitat (subtropical forests) and two landscapes differently altered by humans (suburban gardens and macadamia plantations), varying in plant species richness, resource abundance and respective habitat patch size. Foraging patterns and resource intake were compared between landscapes in different seasons and colony growth and fitness were monitored over two and a half years.

Una storiografia meticcia. Note sull’opera di Serge Gruzinski.
Creators: name: Benzoni, Maria Matilde
Publisher: name: Università degli  Studi di Milano
Year: 2009

description: This paper aims to acquaint the reader with the works of Serge Gruzinski. Historian, professor at the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales (Paris), since the 1980s Gruzinski has put the phenomenon of globalization into an historical perspective. From La colonisation de l'imaginaire (1988) up to Quelle heure est-il là bas? (2008), through Les Quatre parties du monde (2004) and the exhibition La planète métisse (Paris, Musée du Quai Branly, 2008-2009), Gruzinski has developed his scientific task from a very original point of view. With a special focus on Mexico and the Spanish-American experience, he has in fact followed the hints of globalization in the long period of history of civilizations, cultures, peoples and individuals. His works cross many frontiers. By connecting different spaces and times, different sources and scholarly traditions, the researches analyzed in this paper expose the reader to the whole gamut of cultural experiences fostered by globalization. In Gruzinski's perspective, history, far from being an ancilla of social sciences, remains the fundamental tool to understand and cope with the huge political and cultural changes of contemporary international life whose origins are rooted in the early modern age (XV-XVI century).

Annexion et décentrement

description: Since the beginning of the twentieth century, the issue of otherness has been central in the intellectual debate among ethnologists, linguists and philosophers.  Communication can be seen as a form of translation of the Other into the language of the Self, and a parallel can indeed be established between translation and the knowledge of other peoples and cultures. As a matter of fact, in order to provide a diligent translation one has to overcome both linguistic difficulties and psychological resistances.  The first eighteenth-century adventure stories and travel accounts provided biased descriptions of foreign countries and their un-European habits. The western traveler tended in fact to absorb or even force the inhabitants of other countries into his own idea of the ‘right' civilisation.  A new approach towards the issue of otherness begins with the work of researchers such as Lévi-Strauss who support their knowledge of ‘other' cultures only through systematic anthropological fieldwork. Similarly, in linguistics, theorists such as Berman and Meschonnic focus on the need to know all the elements composing a text in order to perform a good translation of that text: there should be an ";intimate distance"; between the translator and his/her text, similar to the one existing, in psychoanalysis, between an analyst and his/her patient. Paul Ricœur suggests the notion of linguistic hospitality, a notion that goes beyond problems of mere understanding. And the ethno-psychotherapist Marie Rose Moro proposes an approach to the Other that considers not only the biological, but also and mostly, the psychological dimensions of the individual, with a special emphasis on the issue of difference.

description: This thesis is an exploratory study that measured the alignment of corporate risk management practices in six organizations in the Government of Canada with best practices described in the 2009 ISO 31000, as well as five independent variables believed to influence risk management practices in an organization. The objective was to determine if risk management practices vary from one organization to another in a single government, and if so why, as well as building a number of testable hypotheses for future research. The thesis found that risk management practices do vary significantly from one organization to another. It also found that there is a strong correlation between an organization’s budget, total workforce and the policy instruments it uses, and the alignment of its corporate risk management practices with ISO 31000:2009. This study furthers our understanding of how risk management is implemented in public sector organizations.
