description: Introduction: Anti-DFS70 antibodies occur in healthy individuals with various medical conditions. Unlike other anti-nuclear autoantibodies (ANA), they are not associated with systemic autoimmune disease in adult patients. To date, only a few studies have addressed the prevalence and/or clinical relevance of anti-DFS70 autoantibodies in children with and without autoimmune disease. Methods: Included in this retrospective cross-sectional mono-centric study were 308 pediatric patients with suspected or known autoimmune conditions who had a positive ANA in indirect immune fluorescence (IIF) screening and who were screened for anti-DFS70 antibodies by extractable nuclear antigen antibodies (ENA) immunoblot. Patients were assigned to four different diagnostic categories according to their diagnosis in the corresponding medical record: (a) absence of autoimmune or rheumatic disease (noARD, n = 116); (b) suspected autoimmunity without definitive diagnosis (sAI, n = 48); (c) other rheumatic disease (ORD) (n = 115); and (d) ANA-associated autoimmune disease (AARD, n = 29). Results: The prevalence of anti-DFS70 antibodies in the overall cohort was 33.8%. Among children without ARD (46.6%, 54/116), prevalence was significantly higher than among children with ORD (23.7%, 27/115, p = 0.0003) or AARD (17.2%, 5/29, p = 0.0054). Among all of the anti-DFS70 positive patients with AARD, other autoantibodies were found in the ENA immunoblot. In contrast, among anti-DFS70 positive patients with ORD (11.5%, 4/27), sAI (33.3%, 6/18) and noARD (16.7%, 9/54), other autoantibodies infrequently were detected (p = 0.0005). Patients with uveitis rarely were positive for anti-DFS70 antibodies (7.7%, 1/13). No association was found between anti-DFS70 antibodies and a history of allergic conditions (p = 0.51). The concordance between a typical DFS pattern in IIF and the detection of anti-DFS70 antibodies by immunoblot was 59.3%. Conclusion: As with adults, the higher prevalence of anti-DFS70 among children without autoimmune disease confirms the mutual exclusion for this autoantibody in the pathogenesis of ARD. Among ANA-positive children, monospecific anti-DFS70 antibodies may help to discriminate between AARD and not-AARD-related conditions.

Studies on Andrographis paniculata (Burm. f.) Nees (HDM 15) a medicinal native plant of Brunei Darussalam
Creators: name: Chua, Kui
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: Ethno botanical surveys have revealed that Brunei Darussalam has a rich source of tropical medicinal plants. As 80% of the country's land is covered by tropical rainforest, Brunei Darussalam may have some medicinal plants with unique characteristics of secondary metabolites. Some plants such as Catharanthus roseus (L.) G. Don and Eurycoma longifolia Jack have long been used by the local communities to treat various disease conditions. However, no research has been done in terms of the constituents or biological activities of the Brunei Darussalam medicinal plants. We have investigated the genetic variability diversity and pharmacological actions of Andrographis paniculata (Burm.f.) Nees [1] also known as Daun Pahit or Chuan Xin Lian or King of Bitters by an interdisciplinary approach, involving DNA-based RAPD and RFLP analyses, HPLC-based chemical analysis as well as cell cult ure and tissue-based bioassays. We have demonstrated that Andrographis paniculata extracts exhibited a range of actions including antioxidant, anti-allergies, anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer effects. Some of the pharmacological actions of Andrographis paniculata are co-related with their active constituents Andrographolide (A) and Dehydroandrographolide (D). The study is valued not only in obtaining experimental evidence for supporting traditional use of native medicinal plants but also in establishing a platform for studying other medicinal plants in Brunei Darussalam.

description: Важное значение в укреплении кормовой базы приобретает культура сорго. Представлены многолетние исследования по селекции сорго на гетерозис на основе цитоплазматической мужской стерильности (ЦМС).При правильном подборе сортов и гибридов и технологии возделывания оно дает высокие и устойчивые урожаи зерна, а также зеленой массы на силос, сено и зеленый корм. Цитоплазматическая мужская стерильность у сорго проявляется в форме недоразвитых пыльников с небольшим количеством стерильной пыльцы, а иногда и без пыльцы. Развитие и функционирование гинецея у растений с ЦМС происходит нормально, за исключением нежизнеспособности пыльцы материнских форм. Основной способ получения гетерозисных гибридов сорго-это использование форм, обладающих мужской стерильностью, при которой исключается самоопыление и обеспечивается перекрестное опыление. С помощью комбинационной способности удается выделить лучшие родительские формы, с учетом закономерности наследуемости селекционно-значимых признаков и свойств, а так же способности закреплять стерильность и восстанавливать фертильность пыльцы в гибриде. В статье приведены результаты изучения родительских форм сорго зернового на комбинационную способность.Определена комбинационная способность (ОКС и СКС) родительских форм для гетерозисной селекции.Выделены доноры стабильно высокой урожайности, низкорослости, скороспелости и качества зерна.Получены гибридные комбинации для сортоиспытания и передачи на государственное сортоиспытание.

description: By exploiting the different information depths of X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy and X‐ray absorption spectroscopy measured in both total electron yield mode and total fluorescence yield mode, it is demonstrated that transition metal doping significantly alters the thickness and composition of the solid electrolyte interphase formed on ZnO lithium‐ion battery anodes. image Conversion/alloying materials (CAMs) provide substantially higher specific capacities than graphite, the state‐of‐the‐art lithium‐ion battery anode material. The ability to host much more lithium per unit weight and volume is, however, accompanied by significant volume changes, which challenges the realization of a stable solid electrolyte interphase (SEI). Herein, the comprehensive characterization of the composition and evolution of the SEI on transition metal (TM) doped zinc oxide as CAM model compound, is reported, with a particular focus on the impact of the TM dopant (Fe or Co). The results unveil that the presence of iron specifically triggers the electrolyte decomposition. However, this detrimental effect can be avoided by stabilizing the interface with the electrolyte by a carbonaceous coating. These findings provide a great leap forward toward the enhanced understanding of such doped materials and (transition) metal oxide active materials in general.

Precision radio-frequency pulsar timing & interstellar scintillometry
Creators: name: DANIEL JOHN REARDON
Publisher: name: Figshare
Year: 2018
Subjects: Astrophysics

description: Pulsars are the dense remnants of massive exploded stars. They behave like incredible natural clocks and are used as laboratories for strong gravity. The most stable pulsars in the sky, can function together as a gravitational wave detector the size of our Galaxy. The detection of these waves in coming years will depend on detailed understanding of the pulsars, and the interstellar plasma that interferes with their signals. This work used data from the Parkes radio telescope to precisely time these clocks, and monitor how they twinkle in the sky, for precise new models of the pulsars and interstellar medium.

Healing of aerospace carbon-epoxy composites using thermoplastic agents.
Creators: name: Pingkarawat, Khomkrit
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: The general aim of this PhD project is to investigate the self-healing of aerospace carbon-epoxy composites using thermoplastic agents. The project explores key parameters on the healing process, including the type, volume content and shape of the thermoplastic agent, repeatability of the healing process, and healing method (convection heating, ultrasonic welding). The PhD also investigates the influence of thermoplastic agents on the in-plane properties of carbon-epoxy composites. It was found that poly[ethylene-co-(methacrylic acid)] (EMAA) was capable of repairing delamination damage and recovering the mode I interlaminar fracture toughness and fatigue resistance. High recovery (~300%) to the mode I interlaminar fracture toughness was achieved after healing via the formation of a large-scale crack bridging zone consisting of highly ductile EMAA ligaments, which is a delamination toughening mechanism unique to thermoplastic healing agents. The carbon-epoxy composites retained high healing efficiency following multiple repair operations due to the ability of EMAA to reform the crack bridging zone. EMAA was also capable of recovering the mode I fatigue resistance (defined by Paris curves) of the composites following healing. The PhD thesis presents a comparative experimental study into the healing efficiency of EMAA in delaminated carbon-epoxy composites when the repair process is thermally activated by heating induced with ultrasonic waves. It was discovered that bursts of short-duration, high frequency ultrasonic pulses were capable to thermally activating the healing process, and the healing efficiency (defined as recovery of mode I fracture toughness) was up to 130%. Multiple healing operations and full recovery to delamination toughness were achieved with ultrasonics. In addition to EMAA, the PhD project investigates the healing properties of other thermoplastics; namely PEGMA, EVA and ABS. The thermoplastics, except ABS, were capable of partially or completely restoring the delamination toughness and fatigue resistance of the composite. Healing with EMAA and PEGMA involved a pressure delivery mechanism whereas healing with EVA was controlled by its viscosity and adhesion properties. Through-the-thickness stitching with EMAA filaments on the delamination toughness and self-healing properties of carbon–epoxy composites was investigated. The delamination toughness and fatigue resistance of the composites increased with the volume content of EMAA stitches. During the healing these bridging stitches melt and flow into the delamination via the pressure delivery mechanism, and this resulted in full restoration of the toughness and fatigue properties. Multiple healing operations and full recovery to delamination toughness and fatigue resistance were achieved.

description: Automotive radar interference is an issue arising with the increasing amount of radar systems in automotive scenarios. Interference can influence the functionality of a radar system, e.g. decrease its detection capability. To ensure functionality in critical situations, interference countermeasures are applied. This paper proposes a countermeasure for chirp sequence modulated radars interfering one another estimating an interfering signals’ parameters to afterwards reconstruct and remove the interference.
Professional learning of teachers : a case study of multiliteracies teaching in the early years of schooling
Creators: name: Cloonan, Anne
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: This study is a response to shifts in literacy education produced by the new affordances of multimodal texts and changing social dynamics as a consequence of an increasingly digitised, networked communications environment. Acknowledging the powerful influence of the teacher on student outcomes, the study involved intervention in teacher professional learning as a means for influencing print based literacy pedagogy to incorporate multimodality literacy practices. This study is a case study of the professional learning of four teachers of primary school students over the course of eight months in a workplace based research project instigated by the researcher in her role reviewing early years literacy policy, programs and resources within the Department of Education, Victoria. Professional learning interventions deployed within a participatory action research methodology were found to be efficacious in involving case study teachers as researchers of their own practice and in enhancing teachers' professionalism in the operationalisation of multiliteracies. They also had the effect of impacting on professional knowledge, practice and identity. The study indicates that schemas emanating from the New London Group's multiliteracies theory acted as stimuli for expanding teacher repertoires of multimodality pedagogies, thereby addressing disjunctures between digitised multimodal literacy and the existing print based literacy pedagogical knowledge. The deployment of a 'multimodal schema' influenced teachers to expand the modes of meaning taught as literacy meaning-making resources. Deployment of a 'pedagogical knowledge processes schema' influenced teachers' reflective practices resulting in more knowing and purposeful pedagogical practices. Used as an analytical tool, a 'dimensions of meaning schema' also illustrated patterns in teachers' choices, revealing an arbitrary character in the development of a metalanguage for different modes of meaning making. Recommendations arising from the study addressed the areas of educational consultancy; educational filming; literacy policy development; multimodality; pedagogical knowledge processes; and participatory action research methodology. Future research agendas indicated by the findings were presented.

description: Gängige Prozessorarchitekturen bieten wenig Unterstützung für die Entwicklung zuverlässiger, korrekter und wartbarer Software. Andererseits ist es schwierig, Standard-Entwicklungswerkzeuge für experimentelle Prozessor- und Betriebssystemarchitekturen wie z.B. MONADS-PC anzupassen. Capabilities und Modularität werden bisher von Standard-Compilern nicht unterstützt. Zuerst werden daher die Architektur des Zielsystems, die Eigenschaften des GNU C-Compilers und des MONADS-Pascal-Compilers detailliert beschrieben. Das Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es, eine Portierung des GNU C-Compilers für die MONADS-PC-Architektur zu entwerfen, zu implementieren und zu testen. Es soll möglich sein, mit dem portierten Compiler Standard-C-Code ohne Modifikation zu übersetzen. Hierzu ist es notwendig, sowohl Entwicklungswerkzeuge wie Assembler, Linker und Bibliotheksverwaltung zu verbessern bzw. neu zu implementieren als auch eine angepasste Version der C-Bibliothek zu erstellen. Die Code-Qualität wird anhand von Beispielprogrammen mit dem existierenden MONADS-Pascal-Compiler verglichen. Abschließend werden die erzielten Ergebnisse bewertet und der erstellte Code dokumentiert.

Fractured portraits: mapping migration faultlines
Creators: name: Jameson, Sarah
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: Through my art practice, this creative project explores gender identity, belonging and place using personal narrative. As an artist and migrant the purpose of this narrative is to explore my history, my community, and my individual story. I investigate being an involuntary British child migrant. My identity formation fractured when immigration disrupted my expectation for continuity and I lived contrapuntally with a foot in both worlds of the pre-emigration and post-immigration worlds.

British migrants have not been encouraged to tell their stories of migration and resettlement. Historians and government policy did not deem it of value. British emigrants to Australia post-WWII were considered privileged and not ‘real’ migrants, expected to assimilate as if changing countries was like changing rooms.

I investigate my ideas using a narrative mode of enquiry. A key assumption is that by entering into close association with one’s own or others’ lives, the method is useful to better understand the beliefs and motivations of others or the self. Telling my story is a key navigational strategy to re-chart my life and create artwork. My lived experiences are exemplars of issues regarding identity, patriarchy, history, place, memory, grief and loss, and the findings that I have produced are the focus of the research. I examine family artefacts in relation to these influences. I explore and map gendered identity when immigration fractured my expectations for continuity. The rich data obtained from memory, family artefacts and photographic albums, discussions with relatives and family, form the basis and best provide access to the kind of knowledge being explored. I gain insight and understanding of my own position and acquire at the same time a different perspective.

This study covers new ground in the way it generates a deeper understanding of migrant identity and raises important issues that have significance for all Australian migrant communities. Australia is comprised of an Indigenous culture, with the overlay of a white settler colony and migrants from many countries. Narrative is used so that this country can maintain its history of the nation, community and individuals of this multicultural society. Telling stories through the creation of artworks generates a deeper understanding of migrant identity. I can make meaning and find a sense of belonging in whatever place within or outside of Australia that I inhabit. I reflect on how I have negotiated or broken the internalised code a culture supplies concerning how life should be experienced. My story becomes a narrative with a wider audience – one relevant to Australian identity. If the culture fails to tell stories, we face becoming a monolithic ‘one size fits all’ nation.

description: The web application Escher is a versatile tool for building biochemical network maps and visualizing experimental or sim-ulated data on these networks. Three key features make Escher a uniquely effective tool for pathway visualization.

1. Rapidly design new pathway maps Escher provides pathway suggestions based on user data and genome-scale models, so users can draw pathways in a semi-automated way.

2. Visualize gene or protein datasets on pathways Map data related to genes or proteins on the associated reactions and pathways using rules that define which en-zymes catalyze each reaction. Identify trends in common genomic data types (e.g., RNA-Seq, proteomics, or ChIP) in conjunction with metabolite- and reaction-oriented data types, e.g., metabolomics or fluxomics.

3. Share your maps online or in standard formats Escher harnesses the strengths of web technologies (SVG, D3, developer tools) so that visualizations can be rapidly adapted, extended, shared, and embedded. We present re-cently developed features, including support for reading and writing systems biology standards (SBML with layout and SBGN-ML) and fully customizable tooltips.

Availability: Try Escher online at http://escher.github.io. To interconvert between Escher maps and community standards (SBML or SBGN-ML) download and use EscherConverter from https://github.com/SBRG/EscherConverter/releases/ or try it online at https://webservices.cs.uni-tuebingen.de.
Understanding factors influencing employee engagement: a study of the financial sector in Malaysia
Creators: name: Abu Bakar, Raida
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: This thesis examines the factors that influence and shape employee engagement in the context of the financial sector in Malaysia. It does this by studying multilevel factors at three levels, the individual, organisational and societal levels. Specifically, the thesis focuses on three increasingly prominent concepts: empowering leaders’ behaviour, high-performance work practices (HPWP) and the possible role of religiosity. Drawing on institutional theory, an important argument in this thesis is the limitation of the mainstream single-level conceptualisations of employee engagement, which fail to capture the relational interplay of the contextual factors and the multilevel nature of engagement. Earlier research in HRM, particularly on employee engagement, has been conducted primarily from a micro-perspective that has focused on a specific function with little acknowledgement of contextual setting. This study uses a framework that bridges the macro- and micro-institutional levels of analysis in understanding employee engagement.

To achieve this objective, this study adopted a mixed-method approach. The first method, a qualitative study of 41 interviews with employees in the financial sector, was designed to explore the most salient factors in the employees’ levels of engagement. The second method, a quantitative survey of 278 employees, was designed to investigate the associations between the studied variables. Findings from both analyses suggest that empowering leadership behaviour has the largest effect on employee engagement. In particular, employees experience a significant level of engagement when their leader shows concern. At the organisational level, HPWP do seems to be practised in the organisations and to have an effect on engagement. However, problems that occur within the organisations cause the ineffectiveness of HPWP implementation. Interestingly, religiosity was found to play a crucial role in engaging employees at work among the Malay Muslims.

The key findings of this study suggest that both macro- and micro-institutions have pertinent roles in stimulating employee engagement. Organisations and managers need to understand the changing role of leaders, the introduction of HPWP and the practice of religious belief in the workplace as sources which enhance engagement. The expectation is that, through a better understanding of the relationships between these factors and the potential effectiveness of HPWP adoption, the selection of leaders and the development of employees may be conducted more effectively.

description: A Lagrangian submanifold of a symplectic manifold is a half-dimensional submanifoldon which the restriction of the symplectic form vanishes. This dissertation explores the problem of constructing new Lagrangians from old by performing surgery type operations.In the second chapter we extend the construction of higher mutation, as initially introduced by Pascaleff-Tonkonog, to local higher mutation. We prove that up to a change of local systems, the Lagrangian intersection Floer cohomology of a pair of Lagrangians remains invariant under local mutation. This result extends the wall-crossing formula presented in Pascaleff-Tonkonog.The third chapter contains an account of a collaborative research with Amanda Hirschi and Luya Wang. We extend Vianna’s result about the existence of infinitely many monotone Lagrangian torus in projective space to any dimension. We define a surgery type operation called solid mutation, which is a circle fibered version of usual mutation, and show that lifts of Vianna tori, are related by solid mutations. We utilize Pascaleff-Tonkonog’s wall-crossing result to understand the effect of solid mutation on disk potentials.

Archival Horror: revisiting Schmuland and Buckley in the Magnus Archives

subject: libraries and archives

description: Arlene Schmuland (1999) and Karen Buckley (2008) wrote what are probably the most frequently cited articles addressing representations of archives and archivists in popular culture; their work suggests that the pop-cultural understanding of what archives are and what archivists do is often muddled at best (and wildly inaccurate at worst, often confusing archives with libraries, among other sins). In this presentation, we revisit Schmuland and Buckley’s work in the context of a study of The Magnus Archives, in order to suggest the tantalizing possibility that a horror podcast might have found its fear in a more accurate (and more critical) understanding of how archives work, both in terms of archival practice and in terms of archival ethics.

The Impact Of Spirituality In Mental Health Care Literature Review Of 10 Scientific Articles About The Spiritual Needs Of Patients In Mental Health Care
Creators: name: Braimer, David
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2018
Subjects: Spirituality, religion, spiritual needs, meaning, purpose, suffering, health, mental health, wellbeing.

description: This Master’s essay attempts to answer three research questions: (1) Which kinds of spiritual

needs do patients experience in mental health care? (2) How do patients experience the

relationship between the satisfaction of their spiritual needs and the improvement of their mental

health? (3) How do patients relate their spiritual needs to their experience of the meaning of their

life and suffering? A qualitative research design and a hermeneutic phenomenology method are

used in this study. The study reviewed ten scientific articles on spirituality in mental health care

as relevant to professional health caregivers. Findings show that patients’ spiritual needs could be

given a religious meaning (which constitutes patients’ participation in religious activities and

fellowships), existential meaning (which entails having the transcendence experience and

purpose of life), and a holistic meaning of spirituality (which incorporates communal, religious,

and existential understanding of spirituality). Patients experience that satisfaction of their

spiritual needs helps them to find meaning to their suffering and purpose in their life.

Incorporating spiritual intervention in mental health care improved the relationship between

patients and healthcare givers, where healthcare givers helped patients to identify spiritual

resources to get them through a difficult situation, to cope with suffering, and experience a sense

of stability, had a positive impact in patients experience of health. The study concludes that

spiritual care is widely neglected in mental health care and that this situation could be corrected

by training healthcare givers to be responsive to patients’ spiritual needs, which the study

proposes as a theme for future research. Thus, to improve patient’s health.

description: ABSTRACT One of the most prevalent genetic iron overload disorders in Caucasians is caused by mutations in the HFE gene. Both HFE patients and Hfe‐mouse models develop a progressive accumulation of iron in the parenchymal cells of various tissues, eventually resulting in liver cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma, cardiomyopathies, hypogonadism, and other pathologies. Clinical data and preclinical models have brought considerable attention to the correlation between iron overload and the development of osteoporosis in HFE/Hfe hemochromatosis. Our study critically challenges this concept. We show that systemic iron overload, at the degree present in Hfe−/− mice, does not associate with the microarchitecture impairment of long bones, thus excluding a negative effect of iron overload on bone integrity. We further reveal that Hfe actions in osteoblasts and osteoclasts are dispensable for the maintenance of bone and iron homeostasis in mice under steady‐state conditions. We conclude that, despite systemic iron overload, Hfe−/− mice present normal physiological bone homeostasis. © 2019 The Authors.

An engineering solution for minimising tripping hazards of pedestrian concrete pavements
Creators: name: Koay, Yew-Chin
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: Pedestrian pavements made of concrete are widely used around the world. In areas where the frequency of pedestrian movement is high, pedestrian concrete pavements tend to be more susceptible to pre-matured deterioration. One of the most common forms of deterioration is the uneven movements of concrete slabs. The vertical movements are often caused by tree root invasion and soil expansion or settlement. Problems arise when two adjoining slabs move up or down by different amounts. Such a differential vertical movement of adjoining slabs is known as “stepping displacement”.

Stepping displacement is a major tripping hazard to pedestrians, especially to the elderly. To avoid tripping hazards which may result in injury, and potentially costly litigation, local councils need to be pro-active in carrying out concrete pavement repairs. There has been an increasing pressure on councils and local government authorities throughout Australia to eliminate potential hazards from their infrastructure. In order to overcome this problem, an extensive experimental investigation using CFRP dowels, shear connectors and proposed innovative joiners have been undertaken by the author to determine the differential movement and load transfer capability of induced contraction joints in pedestrian concrete pavements. Load transfer capacity of the joiners are important for resisting vertical shear forces and controlling differential vertical movement, thus reducing potential for joint damage and serviceability problems. The CFRP dowels, shear connectors and proposed innovative joiners are placed between adjoining concrete panels to ensure simultaneous movement of the panels.

This thesis discusses the findings in the context of the requirements of Australian Standards for concrete pavements. The study focuses on the stepping displacement which is the cause of tripping hazards and therefore the most critical measurement for assessing the adequacy and performance of the joiners. Nonlinear finite element analysis using ABAQUS has been carried out and numerical models for predicting the behaviour of different joiners have been established. As a result of this investigation, effective and practical solutions for minimising stepping displacements of concrete slabs have been found and validated.

description: For the finite variance process the aims of this thesis are to estimate the impulse response matrices and find the asymptotic distribution of these estimators, estimate the spectral distribution and find the asymptotic distribution of the estimator, examine the performance of the above estimators on small samples using simulation studies and investigate applications of the innovations algorithm for prediction and model-fitting for VARMA processes. We also aim to investigate the problem of linear prediction for a class of multivariate processes with infinite variance.
