description: Formal software testing education is important for building efficient QA professionals. Various aspects of quality assurance approaches are usually covered in courses for training software testing students. Automated Test Tools is one of the core courses in the software testing post-graduate curriculum due to the high demand for automated testers in the workforce. It is important to understand which factors are affecting student performance in the automated testing course to be able to assist the students early on based on their needs. Various metrics that are considered for predicting student performance in this testing course are student engagement, grades on individual deliverables, and prerequisite courses. This study identifies the impact of assessing students based on individual vs. group activities, theoretical vs. practical components, and the effect of having taken prerequisite courses in their final grade. To carry out this research, student data was collected from the automated test tools course of a community college-based postgraduate certificate program in software testing. The dataset contained student records from the years 2021 to 2022 and consisted of information from five different semesters. Various machine learning algorithms were applied to develop an effective model for predicting students performance in the automated software testing tools course, and finally, important features affecting the students performance were identified. The predictive performance model of the automated test tools course that was developed by applying the logistic regression technique, showed the best performance, with an accuracy score of 90%.

Sexualität & Autismus: Was Wir In Bezug Zur Sexualität Von Jungen Männern Aus Dem Autismus-Spektrum Erfahren Können
Creators: name: Fölmli, Fabio
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2018

description: Der Schwerpunkt dieser Forschungsarbeit ist das Thema der Sexualität von jungen Männern aus dem Autismus Spektrum, die in begleiteten Wohnformen leben. Viele Menschen aus dem Autismus Spektrum sind auf ihrem Weg zur Selbständigkeit auf Unterstützung angewiesen. Im Bereich der Sexualität ist jedoch nur wenig Fachwissen vorhanden. Deshalb hat die Arbeit das Ziel, junge Männer aus dem Autismus Spektrum zu interviewen und ihnen als Experten ihrer eigenen sexuellen Bedürfnisse Gehör zu verschaffen. Aus ressourcentechnischen Gründen wurden die Befragung auf junge Männer mit Autismus begrenzt. Diese Interviews wurden nach qualitativen Methoden ausgewertet, um die Bedürfnisse zu erkennen. Die qualitative Sozialforschung in Form von Leitfadeninterviews hat bestätigt, dass das theoretische Fachwissen noch nicht vollständig in der Praxis angekommen ist. Es zeigen sich nach wie vor in der Praxis gewisse Unsicherheiten beim Thema Sexualität. Die Auswertungen der Interviews zeigen, dass zum einen die autismusspezifischen Bedürfnisse es erschweren, einen adäquaten Umgang mit der Sexualität zu finden, zum anderen auch Unsicherheiten und Ängste auf der Seite der Betreuenden existieren. Für die Soziale Arbeit ist die vorliegende Bachelorarbeit von Bedeutung, da sie aufzeigt, was die Betroffenen über das Thema denken und damit wichtige Erkenntnisse für die zukünftige Arbeit mit autistischen Menschen gewonnen wurden.

description: Depressionen sind in der Schweiz weit verbreitet. Diese psychische Erkrankung hat für Betroffene grosse Auswirkungen im Alltag. In dieser Arbeit wird vor allem der Frage nachgegangen, welche Auswirkungen eine Depression auf das Lebensführungssystem haben kann. Das Lebensführungssystem besteht aus verschiedenen Handlungssystemen. Deshalb werden das private soziale Netz, Familie und Partnerschaft, Arbeit, Wohnen, Kultur und Freizeit, Schattenwelten und das professionelle Helfernetz als Handlungssystem genauer beschrieben. In dieser Arbeit wird verdeutlicht, dass die Auswirkungen beträchtlich sind und aufgrund dessen die Klinische Sozialarbeit als unterstützende Profession im Behandlungsprozess sehr wichtig ist. Im Weiteren werden Herausforderungen und Handlungsmöglichkeiten für die Klinische Sozialarbeit beschrieben. Dabei liegt der Fokus weiterhin auf der Depression. Das sozialtherapeutische Case Management wird mit seinen drei Ebenen als wertvolle Methode für die Klinische Sozialarbeit erachtet. Die erste Ebene beschreibt das Case Management mit ihren Schritten Assessment, Planung, Durchführung, Monitoring und Evaluation. Die zweite Ebene beschreibt die methodische Dimension wie Anwaltschaft und Empowerment, Bildung und Ressourcenerschliessen, Befähigung und Verwirklichungschancen, Soziale Intervention und Intervention in sozialen Systemen und die interprofessionelle Praxis. Als dritte Ebene wird die psycho-soziale Beratung und soziale Netzwerkarbeit thematisiert. Im Zusammenhang mit der psycho-sozialen Beratung wird auf die Krisenintervention und den Umgang Suizidalität eingegangen.

description: This study explores the way effective feedback can be provided to students to enhance their learning. It aims to identify and explore how feedback can be given in relation to Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) and Differentiated Instruction (DI) which are part of the Singapore Ministry of Education’s Desired Outcomes of Education. The study uses Hattie and Timperley’s (2007) framework in providing and understanding the feedback the practitioner provides to students. The study took place at a junior college (JC) which is a pre-university institution and adopted a qualitative approach. Data included semi-structured interviews, artefact analysis and reflective journals kept by the practitioner. Twelve students taking Higher 1 and Higher 2 Geography, who were students of the practitioner, were interviewed. The written assignments which consisted of data-response questions and essays, written by students who were interviewed and those who were not part of the interviews, were analysed to show the way feedback was being given by the researcher over a period of 9 months. The study shows how certain types of feedback given do not always contribute to learning as believed by the practitioner at the beginning of the study. It also displays how the feedback provided by the practitioner changed over time in the course of this study, especially when the practitioner becomes conscious of the way she provides feedback. The research also demonstrated how the feedback given by the practitioner may be perceived differently by the students and therefore there is a need for students to take the initiative in clarifying feedback that is being provided. The practitioner also reveals how verbal feedback also contributes to learning. In the discussion it can be seen also how factors like regularity of feedback, assessment and student-teacher relationships value adds to feedback that is provided to students by the practitioner.
Nutritional Knowledge, Attitude and Practice of Singapore Coaches: A Mixed-Method Study

Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Within a changing sporting landscape in Singapore, coaches have been increasingly employed at both competitive and recreational levels to address a performative agenda in which sporting excellence is highly valued. Over the past several decades, nutritional intervention has been viewed as an integral component of sports performance. Amidst this increasingly performative sporting context, sporting coaches across a range of ability groupings have been challenged with the task of providing essential nutritional advice to athletes to support athlete performance and health. Due in part to the increased pace of sports nutrition advancement and the extensive amount of nutrition information of variable quality available in the media, there remains a constant challenge for coaches to provide quality dietary advice. Little is known about the extent to which this advice is consistent with contemporary nutritional recommendations for optimal sports performance and athlete health. This study draws on a pragmatic research paradigm to understand how Singaporean coaches interpret and enact nutritional support for athletes. Using a sequential explanatory mixed methods research design, the study explores Singaporean coaches’ understandings of nutritional content knowledge, the extent to which they value the provision of nutrition support, and their level of congruence with accepted practices outlined by internationally recognized nutritional bodies. The sampling frame for the quantitative phase consisted of 449 coaches represented from 38 different sports, with a subsample of eight coaches participating in follow-up qualitative interviews. The Coaches Knowledge Attitude and Practice questionnaire was developed to satisfy acceptable psychometric criteria of validity and reliability, and a semi-structured interview was used in conjunction to convene quantitative and qualitative data. Descriptive statistics, hierarchical multiple regression and one-way between-group analysis of variance with posthoc tests and thematic analyses were used to analyse the quantitative and qualitative data in the research. Results from the quantitative research revealed a varied nutritional content knowledge, a range of values towards providing nutritional support and varied practices that ranged from aligning with to contrasting markedly with accepted practice. A positive relationship exists between the numbers of hours spent learning about nutrition and the coaches’ understanding of nutritional content knowledge (p

Structural Evolution and Petroleum Potential of a Cambrian Intracratonic Rift System: Mississippi Valley Graben, Rough Creek Graben, and Rome Trough
Creators: name: Hickman, John B.
name: Harris, David C.
Publisher: name: Kentucky Geological Survey, University of Kentucky
Year: 2018

description: Abstract:
Drilling and geophysical data demonstrate that the Mississippi Valley Graben, Rough Creek Graben, and Rome Trough are fault-bounded structures filled with as much as 27,000 ft of Cambrian sediments. Data including stratigraphic tops from 1,764 wells, 106 seismic profiles, aeromagnetic and gravity surveys, and mapped surface geology at a scale of 1:24,000 were used to study seven stratigraphic packages across parts of Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, and Tennessee. Detailed analysis of the thickness patterns of these stratigraphic packages was used to interpret the locations and timing of movement along major fault systems in the study area.
Active rifting of the Precambrian crystalline bedrock began by the Early Cambrian and resulted in thick, sand-rich deposits of the Reelfoot Arkose in the Mississippi Valley Graben and Rough Creek Graben, and the Rome Formation in the Rome Trough. Subsidence continued in these grabens during the Middle to Late Cambrian, leading to deposition of an alternating succession of shales and carbonates (Eau Claire Formation of the Illinois Basin and Conasauga Group of the Appalachian Basin) on top of the coarse clastic Reelfoot Arkose and Rome Formation. Although the tectonic extension that formed these features ended by the Late Cambrian, fault-zone reactivation during the Taconic, Acadian, and Alleghenian Orogenies altered fault-block orientations and produced areas of basin inversion, possibly creating numerous deep structural traps for hydrocarbons sourced by the Cambrian shales of the Eau Claire Formation and Conasauga Group.

description: Vaccines have been vital candidate against infectious diseases, and over the past one hundred years have saved millions of lives. The main types of vaccines available to date are subunit, live attenuated, inactivated, conjugate, toxoid and recombinant DNA based vaccines (Tiwle 2014). While effective, each has their own inherent limitations. For example, subunit vaccines cannot induce long term immunity, whereas live, attenuated and inactivated vaccines can have a limited target range (Abhishek et al., 2016). High production costs make recombinant vector based vaccines unavailable to poor economies (Nascimento et al., 2012). Toxoid vaccines need multiple doses with adjuvants and also cause strong local reactions (Baxter 2007). Even though DNA vaccines have the disadvantage of being limited to protein antigens, they offer long term immunity inducing all arms of the immune responses (Khan 2013). Most DNA vaccines are effective in eliciting immune responses without any side effects. The main criterion for a successful DNA vaccine is to have an efficient delivery system which can deliver it safely to the target cells. There are several successful delivery systems available for DNA vaccines; however no standard system is in place. For vaccine trials and effective DNA vaccination, targeting antigen presenting cells would be important. There is an increasing demand for novel DNA vaccine delivery systems, mainly for the non-viral type as they are considered relatively safe. Therefore, in this proof of concept study two novel delivery systems 1) Solid Lipid Nanoparticles (SLNs) and 2) yeast transposon virus like particles (Ty-VLPs) were chosen to study their potential to carry DNA vaccines in vitro to dendritic cells using eGFP plasmid as the reporter plasmid. Positively charged SLNs were synthesised by modified solvent-emulsification method and conjugated with plasmid DNA to form complexes (DNA-SLN complexes). The integrity of these complexes was confirmed by various agarose gel based assays. The SLN/DNA complexes were transfected into DC2.4 cells and analysed by flow cytometry for GFP expression. It was shown that there is a 10-fold increase in the transfection rate using these complexes in DC2.4 cells over plasmid alone and is comparable to that mediated by lipofectamine. On the other hand, Ty-VLPs were purified from the recombinant yeast constructed and plasmid DNA conjugated with them. The transfection efficiency of these complexes were analysed in vitro and was shown to increase compared to plasmid alone. In comparison the SLN system was more efficient for plasmid DNA delivery than Ty-VLPs.

description: A Montessori perspective on leadership was sought by conducting fourteen semi-structured interviews with Montessori leaders internationally. The interviews explored the role of Montessori principles and practices in developing the participants’ ideas about, and enactment of, leadership. Gadamer’s 'Truth and Method' was used as a philosophical focus for the investigation and guided the analysis. Participant responses were interpreted and themes emerged that were discussed in terms of Montessori’s notion of ‘preparation’. The study found that a Montessori perspective on leadership is distinct, has universal applicability and is centred on the child as a hope and a promise for the world.
title: Historische und rezente Entwicklung des lebenslangen Lernens in Europa
Creators: name: Selecka, Johanna
Year: 2009

description: Die Dissertationsarbeit beschreibt das Thema „Lebenslanges Lernen“ und Motivationen sowie Meinungen zum Lebenslangen Lernen älterer Menschen. Viele ältere Personen kompensieren ihre zunehmende Einsamkeit mit einem Studium an der Universität des „dritten“ Alters. Historisch gesehen entwickelte sich die Weiterbildung „50+“ erst nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg und ab den 70er Jahren mit einer größeren Intensität. In meiner Arbeit gehe ich folgenden Fragen nach: - Was motiviert Menschen aktiv an Bildung und Lernen im Alter teilzunehmen? - Welche Ansicht vertreten ältere Studierende zum Modell „Lebenslanges Lernen“ Der empirische Teil meiner Arbeit beruht auf 10 qualitativen Interviews mit Personen, die auf der „Universität des Dritten Lebensalters“ auf der Comenius Universität in Pressburg (Bratislava) studieren. Für die Interviews wurden Gesprächspartner ausgewählt, die kurz vor ihrer Pensionierung oder bereits in Pension sind. Auf das Bildungsverhalten von älteren Personen wirken neben dem sozialen Lernklima noch weitere Faktoren ein, die sich förderlich oder aber auch hemmend gestalten können. Lernfähigkeit und Lerntempo in älteren Jahren geht verloren und ist nicht immer als Voraussetzung zu erwarten. Für die Institutionen ist die „Generation 50+“ im mehrfachen Sinne interessant weiterzubilden. Die Lernaktivität und das adäquate Lernklima bleiben auch in älteren Jahren erhalten. Die sozialen, persönlichen, psychischen und kognitiven Faktoren sind auch Haupteinflussfaktoren auf die Lernmotivation. Die wichtigsten Motive für die Weiterbildung im Alter sind vor allem die Angst vor der sozialen Isolation und Einsamkeit, der Wunsch nach geistiger Fitness im Alter und das Bedürfnis einer generellen Wissenserweiterung auch auf neuen Gebieten, wie z.B. moderne Kommunikationstechnologie, Fremdsprache, Evidenzdatenerfassung usw. Das lebenslange Lernen älterer Menschen leistet einen Beitrag für die Gesellschaft und hat eine positive Bedeutung auf das Wohlbefinden älterer Menschen.
Engaging with contingency in the creation of object

Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: This research has explored the interplay and dialogue between two materials, mild steel and vegetable matter, with a specific focus on eggplant. The two materials have been combined/juxtaposed and transformed into a fixed state through dehydration. A playful and experimental methodology has encouraged the expressive nature of matter in its encounter with metal. This is captured in the form of small-scale, hand-held, tactile and intimate objects and jewellery pieces. The forms are revelations of the characteristics and contingencies of eggplant, within a juxtaposing steel structure, and convey information about the matter’s transformation. These works relate to the body through physical resemblance and proximity, and they inspire an empathetic and emotional connection to the body, the hand and the skin. With this relationship to the physical body, as well as being handcrafted objects, they sit within the context of contemporary object and jewellery making.

description: The purpose of this thesis was to explore the perceptions of Year 9 students in relation to their experiences in an accelerated program where students are grouped by ability in English, Mathematics and Classics/Latin, whilst attending mainstream subjects for the remainder of their learning. The case study utilised a mixed method research approach, with both quantitative and qualitative data being collected. A total of 58 Year 9 students completed an online survey focusing on their perceptions of class activities in their mainstream and accelerated classes. Part One of the student survey utilised Gentry and Gable's (2001) My Class Activities survey instrument, which measured students' levels of interest, challenge, choice and enjoyment. Part Two of the student survey, focused on students' experiences in regard to their experiences in the accelerated and ability grouped classes. The results are analysed by comparing accelerated and mainstream results, male and female responses. To add depth to the study, the teachers who taught in the accelerated program were asked to reflect on the program's objectives, their teaching practices and experiences in the program and parents of students in the accelerated program were asked to reflect on their perceptions of their child's experiences. The findings of this study were positive, students, parents and teachers perceived the accelerated classes to be more challenging than mainstream classes. Students' perceptions of their accelerated class activities in regard to levels of interest, challenge, choice and enjoyment were generally positive. The male students' perceptions of their accelerated classes were highly positive, whereas the female students indicated they were not as challenged by the accelerated classes, although the pace of the program provided challenge. The findings revealed that these students needed more informed support from the teachers to cope with the academic and personal challenges of the program and would have benefited from differentiation of the curriculum, allowing for more choice in their class activities. The study also found that more informed communication with parents would be positive for the program.

Resilience capabilities in the face of environmental turbulence: a case of Hong Kong small to medium enterprises
Creators: name: Chu, Yiu Ha
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: This thesis adopts an explanatory sequential mixed-approach, incorporating two inter-related studies investigates the resilience capabilities of Hong Kong-based SMEs. Specifically, the overall objective is to empirically examine the multidimensionality of resilience capability, and how each dimension is developed, utilized, and evolved over time and in various contexts. Study 1 involves a survey of 177 Hong Kong-based SMEs and explores the interrelationship between resilience capabilities and firm performance, and the moderating impact of environmental turbulence on these relationships. Extending the findings of Study 1, Study 2 involves an in-depth qualitative examination of the ways in which SMEs utilize resilience capabilities in strategy development for dealing with threats and opportunities.

 The objective of Study 2 is to address the issues that arose from Study 1 with the aim of providing an understanding of how relationships between dimensions are established pre-, during- and post-crisis phases. Through an in-depth review of literature across disciplines, survey and case study interviews, this thesis defines resilience as a multidimensional capability that is expressed through organizational strategies, comprising four dimensions (adaptability, agility, anticipatory ability and flexibility) that are conceptually and empirically distinct from one another.. These dimensions are articulated either proactively or reactively in the process of effective strategy development during pre-, at times of, or post crisis environments. Findings also reveal five ways of utilizing resilience capability during strategy development process (defining, founding, planning, redefining, conforming) with differential emphasis on dimensions at different phases of turbulent environments, be it pre-, during, or post-crisis conditions. These findings have important implications for strategy development, SME business practice, research and practice.

description: Generalized Large deviation principles was developed for Colombeau-Ito SDE with a random coefficients. We is significantly expand the classical theory of large deviations for randomly perturbed dynamical systems developed by Freidlin and Wentzell.Using SLDP approach, jumps phenomena, in financial markets, also is considered. Jumps phenomena, in financial markets is explained from the first principles, without any reference to Poisson jump process. In contrast with a phenomenological approach we explain such jumps phenomena from the first principles, without any reference to Poisson jump process.

Effects of natural products on doxorubicin-induced cyctotoxicity in H9C2 cells
Creators: name: Cai, Guohui
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: Doxorubicin (Adriamycin, DOX) is a widely used anticancer drug which has a well demonstrated clinical efficacy. However, it also causes damage to the heart which limits its clinical use. The main mechanism of doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity involves oxidative stress of cardiac cells. Recently, nitric oxide (NO) pathway has been suggested to play a significant role in doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity. Certain natural products, including traditional Chinese herbal medicines, have been demonstrated with protective actions on doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity. However, the scope of their actions and related mechanisms are generally not clear. The aims of this project are: 1) to conduct a literature review of actions of natural products on doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity, and 2) to investigate the effects of tanshinone IIa, the active compound of Salvia miltiorrhiza, and its synthetic derivatives on doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity in H9C2 cells, and their relationships to endogenous NO pathways. Method: For the literature review, extensive literature search was conducted and relevant research publications were identified. For experimental studies, H9C2 cells were cultured under standard cell culture operation procedure. Cardiac cell toxicity was assessed by cell viability assay. NO production was determined by DAF-2DA and nitrite assays.

Results: The actions of various natural compounds/products published previously on doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity have been reviewed, including their relevant mechanisms and relationships to anticancer actions of doxorubicin. Experiments studies found that doxorubicin caused a concentration and time dependent cell death in H9C2 cells, which was significantly inhibited by the cell permeable superoxide dismutase (SOD) mimetic and peroxynitrite scavenger MnTBAP and the inducible NO synthase (iNOS) inhibitors L-NIL. NO production in the cell media was also increased by doxorubicin which was inhibited by L-NIL. Tanshinone IIa at concentrations did not affect the cell viability significantly inhibited doxorubicin-induced cell death. It also inhibited doxorubicin-induced increase in NO production. Among 8 synthetic derivatives tested, AFC1 was shown with a protective effect on doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity at relative low concentrations (0.3µM-10µM). Similar effects were observed for AFC2. In conclusion, a number of natural products have been shown with protective actions against doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity, and some exhibit a potential therapeutic value for clinical applications. In addition, tanshinone IIa and related synthetic compounds has been demonstrated for the first time that its protective actions are associated with endogenous NO pathways. Further studies on these compounds may lead to identify new effective therapies to reduce or prevent doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity.
Tensions in developing international mindedness in international Baccalaureate schools

description: This thesis aimed to investigate how international mindedness is developed by adolescent learners at the school level, in order to develop new knowledge and understanding of this process. The research focused on students studying the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) in two schools, in Australia and in an Indian Ocean Island Nation (a pseudonym used for de-identifying reasons). The study investigated the students’ understandings and experiences of international mindedness, the tensions they experienced in developing it, and the formation of their identities as part of this process. Schools worldwide are increasingly interested in internationalisation and how learners develop international mindedness, with a sense of connectedness with the local and the wider global world. But there has been a dearth of grounded research on international education at the school level which focuses on the ways students develop a sense of international mindedness within an international curriculum like the IBDP, as well as through their broader schooling experiences in different contexts. The literature review found that international mindedness is a highly valued commodity as well as a determining philosophical leitmotiv on the international education agenda. The two school case studies in this thesis were analysed through a socio-cultural lens, and learners’ development of international mindedness was explored through their sense of being, belonging and becoming. First, IB students from two schools in Australia and Indian Ocean Island Nation were surveyed to their perceptions of international mindedness across different socio-cultural and historical contexts. Second, students from the two schools were interviewed to develop insights into their individual experiences of developing international mindedness. The findings from the survey and case studies provided evidence that students’ background, family upbringing, the socio-cultural contexts of the schools, the school ethos and enacted IBDP curriculum are important factors and forces that shape students’ sense of international mindedness in varied ways. The study found that students experience significant tensions in their development of international mindedness in the IBDP programme and in their sense of identification with the cultures and knowledges of the host school and nation. Students have a highly personal and individual understanding of international mindedness because of the uniqueness of their experiences. The study concluded that the development of international mindedness is a complex and multi-faceted experience that is significantly influenced by context. It found that students require further opportunities for developing their understanding of their local communities and the wider world within their studies, so they can develop the intercultural and global competencies and sense of personal identity that are so central to international mindedness in the 21st century.

Designing interactive play experiences for sick children in hospital
Creators: name: Sancho Huerga, Ruth
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: For sick children, hospitals provide a challenging environment for the development of a positive sense of self. I believe the opportunity for creative self-expression plays an important role for hospitalised children to develop such as positive sense of self. In response I have designed workshops to support such self-expression around a positive sense of self using Co-Design, Desensitization and Lecoq’s theatre techniques. These workshops centered around two interactive digital games I designed: ‘Doctor Giggles’ and ‘X-Safari’ that aim to reframe and personalise children’s hospital experiences. The workshops were developed in two different hospitals from Spain: Hospital de La Fe (Valencia) and Hospital Sant Joan de Dea (Barcelona). 23 children and 17 family relatives participated in the workshops. The main age of the children was between 7 to 10 years old. The outcomes from the workshops suggest that designing personalised play for sick children by reframing the hospital environment, medical equipment, procedural tasks and family relationships through humour and creativity can support the development of children’s positive sense of self. In order to guide other designers and play therapists in facilitating such workshops, I have derived three design dimensions - bodily representations, bodily auto-topography and bodily creative communication and a set of design tactics. These insights are aimed at contributing to our understanding of how to support sick children in hospital.
