The call of salt: white Australian writing and anxieties of landscape. A creative writing Thesis.
Creators: name: Noske, Catherine Ariane

description: ‘The Call of Salt’ offers an account of the tensions of belonging experienced by white Australians. It follows the story of the people of the fictionalised Chesil Island, set off the southern coast of Australia. The novel is written from the perspective of Hannah, a local to the Island. A teacher, Hannah is forced to witness as a young girl in her class falls pregnant and is heralded by the local priest as the Virgin Mary reborn. As the Immaculate Conception, her pregnancy provides an opportunity for religious tourism which is taken up by the locals. Now living in the city, Hannah reflects on the events that followed. Implicated as the silent onlooker, Hannah writes in the attempt to come to terms with Mary’s eventual disappearance; but also with the death of her own mother and the redefinition of self thus provoked. Serving as the centre-point for the narrative, Hannah’s voice moves into and re-imagines multiple other points of view, an act which both appropriates and reconfigures events from the community’s past as central to her own relationship with the island as a place. Creating a disjointed and fragmented narrative, the novel attempts to contrast the anxieties of landscape felt by white Australians to the power of the social structures of rural community, pointing to an ongoing heritage of colonial development. My writing is deeply concerned with white Australian constructions of landscape and the predominance of the subject-object relationship in representations of land. The exegesis situates this novel against a reading of landscape in contemporary white Australian literature. It asks questions of how as a white Australian author I utilize poetic language to express a connection with landscape, and highlights the philosophy of Etienne Souriau. Souriau’s existential pluralism provides a potential avenue for a writing style which moves outside the subject-object relationship, taking up a non-reductive understanding of the modes of existence present within the creative work. The exegesis picks up on his concept of instauration as suggesting the ontological movement into being and therefore describing the creative process. It illustrates the manner in which the writing of ‘The Call of Salt’ has been shaped by this philosophy and draws attention to a strain of Australian cultural studies attempting to move in a similar direction.
Therapeutic effects of human amniotic epithelial cells in a murine model of multiple sclerosis

description: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory demyelinating disease that has 1/1000 prevalence in the Western world. Current therapies for MS are only partially effective and are accompanied by undesirable side effects. In this thesis I examined a newly emerged placental-derived cell, amniotic epithelial cell (hAEC), as cell therapy for a myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) peptide-induced MS model of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). I tested the effects of hAEC in preventing or intervening EAE disease course. In both instances I found milder neurological signs, reduced inflammation in the spinal cord accompanied by lowered peripheral immune responses against MOG peptide. In searching for mechanisms by which hAEC mediate their therapeutic roles, I found that hAEC inhibited antigen-nonspecific and antigen-specific splenocyte proliferation in a dose-dependent manner. Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) are essential for this suppression in vitro. Because MS is thought to be a T cell-mediated disease, the ability to modulate T cell response is key to control MS progression. I found that splenic T cells from hAEC-treated EAE mice showed elevated IL-5 production, and in the intervention model there was also elevated production of IL-2 and IL-5. Peripheral immune cell populations in spleens and lymph nodes were mainly unchanged except for elevated regulatory T cells found in the intervention model after corticosteroid-induced remission followed by hAEC treatment. There were also decreased secretions of MOG-specific antibodies in sera of mice in both the prevention and intervention models, reflecting the alleviated peripheral autoimmune responses after hAEC treatment. hAEC were found in the lung but not other organs after intravenous delivery to EAE mice. My data suggest that hAEC may have potential as cell therapy for MS to prevent and to alleviate relapse of MS. Compared to primary hAEC, expanded hAEC in culture showed morphological changes, reduced suppressive capacity and lower production of immunomodulatory molecules. hAEC-derived hepatocyte-like cells exhibit immunogenicity, which is not evident in primary hAEC, but still retain immunomodulatory properties via secreted factors. These findings suggest that hAEC may also be applied as cell therapy for organ-specific diseases and tissue transplantation.

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: With the rapid evolution of cloud computing, profit maximization has emerged as a key challenge forcloud service providers (CSPs). While conventional strategies emphasize resource allocation and energyefficiency, recent studies underscore the significance of customer satisfaction as a vital driver of servicedemand and, ultimately, profitability. This paper presents a customer satisfaction-oriented optimizationmodel that integrates a multi-server configuration approach to enhance provider profits. A discrete hillclimbing algorithm is employed to identify the optimal server configuration based on factors such asQuality of Service (QoS) and Price of Service (PoS). Experimental results demonstrate that increasingservice capacity significantly boosts customer satisfaction and market share, resulting in higher profitsdespite the associated rise in operational costs.

title: Evolution of the TRH Neuropeptide Pathway and its Growth Regulation Function in Echinoderms
Creators: name: Cocurullo, Maria
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2023

description: The Thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) is a hormone produced by the hypothalamus having a central role in the regulation of the Hypothalamus-Pituitary-Thyroid axis in vertebrates. Therefore, it has a central role in regulating metabolism, growth and reproduction. However, its wide distribution throughout the brain and in other regions of the body suggests that it works also as a neurotransmitter and neuromodulator and that is implicated in a variety of other functions. However, very little is known about its role in invertebrates and how the TRH signalling evolved.

 The aim of this work was to characterize and assess the role of the TRH pathway during the development of the sea urchin Strongylocentrotus purpuratus. Combining classic Whole Mount In Situ Hybridization and immunostaining with information from scRNA-seq data generated in the Arnone lab, it was possible to characterize the cells that are producing the TRH (TRHergic) and the ones that are responding thorough the TRH receptor (TRHR). Moreover, it was investigated how the TRHergic neurons are integrated in the larva sensory system, focusing on three components: the larval apical organ (considered to be the larva central nervous system), the dopaminergic system (which is known to regulate arm growth in response to food), and the photoreceptor system mediated by the Go-Opsin3.2 (known to be coexpressed in the TRHergic cells of S. purpuratus). A first characterization of the TRHergic cells was performed also in other sea urchin species, mainly the Mediterranean Paracentrotus lividus, highlighting similarities and differences at morphological level that might be the result of a differential regulation and/or function in these species, therefore, providing initial information on how this signalling system evolved in closely related species.

 Furthermore, knock-down experiments using morpholino oligonucleotides to disrupt the TRH signalling showed that this neuropeptide is required for arm growth in S. purpuratus. Similarly, the Opsin 3.2 knock-down showed to affect arm elongation.

 Based on these evidences, it was set up a protocol to evaluate the larval phenotypic response to food availability under the classic 12h light:12h dark cycle and in constant dark, showing for the first time the role of the light in such response.

 In conclusion, this work described the complex interaction between the TRH pathway and other components of the larva sensory/neurosecretory system, laying the foundations for further studies aiming to elucidate how the sensory/neurosecretory system develops and evolved, and how it is controlling phenotypic and developmental adaptation to the environment.

Cell-Free In vitro Protein Synthesis

description: Heterologous expression of multigene biosynthetic pathways is an essential tool in the study of natural product biosynthesis. Due to its in vivo nature, this process is often limited by, for example, toxicity of the encoded natural product or its biosynthetic proteins, or competition of the biosynthetic proteins with other cellular enzymes for key small molecule building blocks. Cell-free in vitro transcription and translation can overcome some of these limitations. Natural product toxicity is rendered moot in cell-free systems since they are not alive and contain only the necessary proteins, rRNAs, cofactors, substrates, and energy sources for transcription and translation of proteins. As exogenous chemicals can be easily added to the system, building blocks supply issues can be readily solved. We thus investigated using cell-free protein synthesis (CFPS) to biochemically reconstitute the biosynthetic pathway for the fungal polyketide natural product monocillin II. Significant optimization enabled cell-free expression of the full-length monocillin II polyketide synthase (PKS) proteins Rdc5 and Rdc1 directly from plasmids containing their genes under control of the T7 promoter. Correct post-translational modification of the apo-acyl carrier protein domain of the PKS proteins was confirmed by SFP-mediated transfer of a fluorescently modified phosphopantetheinyl group from a chemically modified CoA analog. Unfortunately, treatment of the CFPS produced holo-PKS proteins with their native substrates, malonyl-CoA and NADPH, did not lead to the expected production of detectable levels of monocillin II. Our work suggests that while the CFPS system can generate full length PKS proteins that are sufficiently folded to be recognized, and post-translationally modified by SFP, one or more of the required catalytic domains on these large multidomain proteins is in an inactive state, preventing production of the final product. Identifying non-functional domains, and addressing the issue, may make CFPS an appealing strategy for characterizing PKS biosynthetic gene clusters and prototyping engineered PKS systems.

description: Retail interface has been a significant generator of urban form in the past. The very existence of the town was often justified by market frontage, manifest in the street. The street as route has a significant place in the history of urban form. In this the street was the binding element of public realm, serving the line of frontage by which the private plot interacted with the public space of the town or city. Here the buyer expected to find the seller. Even when urban plots began to collect into blocks, the block edge still formed the primary front line between sale and purchase. The retail interface is however moving to require and define a very different urban form. The user now enters the city not via the street but via the parking lot. The retail plot no longer presents to the street.
Both the shopper and the shop have uncoupled from the traditional urban fabric and re-positioned their relationship on assigned ground, or more recently on computer screen, unhindered by obligations to the heritage of the street. Although the street may be recalled in the shopping mall, it no longer collects and presents the frontage of the city. The readable understanding of the city by its user has thus changed. This paper, drawing from research on European urban settlements, documents some recent metamorphosis in the relationship between retail plot and public realm. The research methodology draws on cartographic regression, planning documentation, stakeholder interviews and settlement analysis, using a sample of 66 towns in Ireland. From its findings the paper concludes that the street, together with its support structure, is under significant relegation, with potential loss of purpose.

The relationship between subjectivity in performance evaluation and managerial performance

Publisher: name: Monash University

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This thesis develops and tests a framework examining the relationship between subjectivity in performance evaluation and managerial performance. The framework predicts that subjectivity in performance evaluation is positively associated with psychological empowerment and supervisor-subordinate conflict. As previous studies established a positive association between empowerment and performance, and a negative association between conflict and performance, it is suggested in this thesis that subjectivity in performance evaluation has both positive and negative indirect associations with managerial performance. The investigation was undertaken using a sample of 102 anonymous managers who completed a mail survey. The data analysis was done using Partial Least Squares. This study finds that subjectivity in performance evaluation is a multidimensional construct. Subjectivity was split into two variables: process-based subjectivity and supervisor-based subjectivity. Both variables were related to managerial performance through positive and negative indirect associations. Process-based subjectivity is similar to supervisor-based subjectivity regarding its effect on supervisor-subordinate conflict, but it differs concerning its effect on access to information. This study is important as it investigates the competing effects of subjectivity in performance evaluation upon managerial performance. Further, the findings suggest that supervisor-subordinate conflict and access to information fully mediate the association between subjectivity and psychological empowerment. The contribution of this study to the literature lies in developing a new scale to measure subjectivity in performance evaluation and in providing additional empirical evidence regarding the effects of subjectivity in performance evaluation on managerial performance.

Anatomy of South African antisemitism: Afrikaner nationalism, the Radical Right and South African Jewry between the world wars
Creators: name: Cohen, Michael
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Prejudice against Jews was part of the political, cultural, economic and social landscape in the Union of South Africa long before Nazism made inroads into the country during the 1930s, at which stage Jews constituted approximately 4.5% of the country’s white or European population. Racial discrimination in a country with diversified racial elements and intense political complexities was synonymous with life in the Union long before Apartheid, with its strictly enforced legal, political and economic segregation, became the country’s official policy with the accession to power of the National Party under Prime Minister Dr Daniel François Malan in May 1948. Although the Jews, while maintaining their own sub-cultural identity, were classified within the country’s racial hierarchy as part of the privileged white minority, the emergence of recurrent anti-Jewish stereotypes and themes became manifest in a country permeated by the ideology of race and white superiority. This was exacerbated by the growth of a powerful Afrikaner nationalist movement, underpinned by conservative Calvinist theology. Fear of Communism in the aftermath of the 1917 Russian Revolution and the First World War; disquiet over the arrival of what was seen as disproportionately large numbers of Jewish immigrants during the 1920s; and the effects of the severe world-wide economic depression after the Wall Street stock market crash in October 1929, set the scene for an unprecedented period of antisemitic activity. This was reflected, in part, in legislation aimed at curbing Jewish immigration and the emergence of several antisemitic movements. This dissertation, which covers the period between the First and Second World Wars, explores the perception that South African antisemitism was a foreign import. Based on an examination of archival sources and contemporary publications, the study concludes that prejudice against the Jews was evident in the weltanschauung of right-wing and extremist Afrikaner nationalists long before the influence of Nazism became apparent and was not dependent on the influence of Nazi propagandists in the country. Aggressive Afrikaner nationalism along with economic antisemitism characterised the years between the end of the Great Depression and the outbreak of the Second World War. Antisemitism became a significant issue in elections and towards the end of the 1930s opposition to Jewish immigration was included as an official plank in the political platform of the opposition Purified National Party. Jews were also banned from party membership in the Transvaal, where most Jews resided. Attempts by the South African Jewish Board of Deputies and its affiliates together with several non-Jewish organisations to counter the increasing influence of antisemitism, principally among the Right and Radical Right in the ranks of the Afrikaner nationalists, also marked the inter bellum period on which this study focuses.
Ghosts of modernity: the J-horror cycle
Creators: name: Honig, Michael Syme Anthony
Publisher: name: Monash University

description: Studies of J-horror have typically examined the cycle as national cinema. Such approaches overlook issues of transnational hybridity and neglect new regional formations. The J-horror cycle appeared in the mid-1990s, during a time of surging globalisation, when new transnational relationships were emerging and geographic networks were reorganising. The films of the J-horror cycle were predominantly made in Japan and South Korea and then remade in Hollywood. This thesis will recognise the influence of cross-cultural readings and the role of active translation in the construction of the cycle. It will also establish a framework of the cultural formations consuming this culture and how they have influenced the recognition of the cycle. J-horror films are a continuation of the Asian ghost story tradition which have adapted and incorporated international techniques. The thesis will examine how the films explore questions of nationality under modernity and the contemporary state of women as it relates to them. The risk in transnational cultural relations is the loss of culture or the loss of identity so, in order to see this body of films accurately, it is necessary to see all dimensions of local subjectivities.

description: Clowning is a form of humour. It is an art form that invites
play, interaction, and laughter. Clown Care is a programme in hospitals
and medical centres involving visits from specially trained hospital
clowns. Clowning helps patients to focus on something other than their
illness. Olsson et al. and Spitzer suggested that clown care could
create a warm climate, promote good interpersonal relationships, and
relieve feelings of frustration, anxiety, or hostility. Hospital clowns
work worldwide as a health humanization resort, providing interplay with
 patients, family and staff creating a positive emotional state that
fosters affirmative environmental conditions. This type of activity
varies greatly in terms of professionalism, accountability and artistic
methods. Promotion of emotional and psychosocial well-being of patients
transcends opportunities for oral health promotion activities in
hospitals, schools and community. Previous research reports on clown
training reflects attitude-building potential for the healthcare
students provided that it is performed in a deep, essential, strict and
continuous fashion in a facultative manner rather than mandatory
allowing the student to build his own artistic, professional and
personal path. Thus, the prospect of introducing training curriculum of
this underrated non-technical skill for dental students in Indian dental
 education system needs to be harnessed.

description: A valuable PA-11 precursor, methyl 11-aminoundecanoate hydrochloride, was synthesised from methyl undec-9-enoate. This ester, obtained from renewable canola oil, was transformed in a three step, multi-catalytic sequence involving cross-metathesis, palladium-catalysed benzylic amine addition and concomitant hydrogenation/hydrogenolysis in 58% overall yield without the use of column chromatography. The corresponding unsaturated PA-11 precursor, methyl 11-aminoundec-9-enoate hydrochloride, was synthesised in a similar sequence of cross-metathesis, palladium-catalysed benzylamine addition and hydrolysis in 53% overall yield. Methods for the Brønsted masking of the amino group during metathesis reactions were also developed, and highlighted the importance of solvent and counterion selection. A collection of unsaturated diamine salts of various lengths, all useful for the production of copolymer polyamides, was synthesised in high yield. The corresponding saturated diamine salts were also synthesised in excellent yield by employing an addition assisted-tandem hydrogenation via the residual ruthenium emanating from the metathesis step. Similarly, cross-metathesis and tandem cross-metathesis/hydrogenation reactions of alkenyl ammonium salts with acrylates gave unsaturated and saturated amino carboxylate salts useful for homopolymer polyamides in excellent conversion. In closing, this new methodology was utilised to complete a formal synthesis of the biologically active alkaloid perhydrohistrionicotoxin. This new synthesis employs a cross-metathesis of an alkenyl ammonium salt as a key step and generates an advanced literature intermediate in a five step convergent synthesis with a total yield of 30%.
The law and healthy ageing: legal strategies for the prevention of elder abuse

description: Elder abuse is one of the most significant violations of the human rights and dignity of older persons in both Australian society and in the global community. Elder abuse is defined as the physical, sexual, psychological, financial and social abuse and or neglect of older people, by a person or persons with whom the victim of abuse maintains a relationship of trust and confidence. This thesis acknowledges and expands upon the role of the international and Australian legal systems in the prevention of elder abuse. To this end, the law has a role in the promotion of healthy and active ageing and the protection and promotion of the human rights of the aged. Through an understanding of the historical recognition of elder abuse as a phenomenon and the nature of the global cultural, social and economic issues that face older people, a framework is identified to assist in combating elder abuse. The discussion draws widely upon the various disciplines, theoretical perspectives and practical responses that have developed historically to combat the challenges of ageing, celebrate the contributions of older people to society and empower older people to retain their autonomy and dignity. Social, primary health, public health and epidemiological perspectives on ageing and elder abuse, in both a global and domestic setting, are essential to effectively develop a valuable framework for the analysis of the law and a pathway for future legal reforms to address elder abuse. Human rights principles underscore this analysis. This thesis focuses upon the legal strategies that currently operate internationally and that exist in Australia for the prevention, detection and remedy of the abuse of older people, and draws upon the experiences and lessons learned in other jurisdictions such as the United States of America and the United Kingdom. Building upon existing legal frameworks, acknowledging the theoretical and practical challenges confronting professionals working in the aged care arena, and by recognising community perceptions and expectations about the care of older members of our society, this thesis proposes future directions for legal policy and reform in Australia. It is argued that the law constitutes a critical tool for promoting healthy and active ageing.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: Milk powder production is the most energy intensive dairy manufacturing process. This thesis examines the drying of high concentration dairy liquids by monitoring droplet shrinkage behaviour and particle formation process. The research work investigates the effects of material and process conditions on droplet drying as well as the correlation with a drying model for simulations of high concentration dairy formulations in a commercial spray dryer, which enables reliable predictions of dryer performance and product quality. This will help the dairy industry achieve energy savings and improve process efficiency.

Contested histories, conflicting narratives past and present Aboriginal relationships with Warwick, Queensland, Australia
Creators: name: Wallace, James Stewart
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This thesis examines oral histories and historical narratives of two Aboriginal families from different language groups living in my old home town of Warwick, Queensland, Australia. I have taken an interdisciplinary perspective drawing from anthropology, archaeology, landscape studies and community-based approaches to examining Indigenous histories. This study is based on research undertaken during a twelve-month period of fieldwork in 2004. While these families have complementary narratives recounting similar stories of colonisation, there are a number of differences in their histories that also shape their own contemporary identities and experiences. My research focuses on exploring and comparing these two family narratives over a 200 year period (‘pre-contact’, ‘contact’ and recent ‘moving back into country’ periods). In particular, I focus on the later ‘contact’ period where the Boney family lived in a series of riverbank ‘fringe camps’ and the McIntosh family were placed within a number of Aboriginal Reserves and Stations. I also explore how these particular histories guide and influence the identities and experiences of the Boney and McIntosh families today in relation specifically to their returning to live in contemporary Warwick. Here, references to the past through oral history and historical narrative have become political tools of the present, allowing families to demonstrate connections to ancestral groups and place and to assert rights to live in, and claim ownership over, Warwick. Present-day Aboriginal socio-political patterns in the town in many ways resemble those of the past, as do the spatial locations of Aboriginal houses that recall past Aboriginal group camp locations. And these socio-political relations are enacted especially through sport, such as in touch football. This rich picture of contemporary Aboriginal life interwoven with narrative, the past and place, is similar for many Aboriginal groups in many other areas in Queensland and New South Wales. In this sense, my approach can provide a model that asserts an inclusive, textured and dynamic vision of the past and its many subtle relationships with the present for exploring the complex experiences of Aboriginal life in Aboriginal-settler societies that have strong colonial histories.
