Enterprise social media: an investigation into the driving factors and the extent of use of the social media technology, Workplace by Facebook, in a large technology organisation

description: The phenomenon of social media has taken hold in the 21st century, as people move their social networks online, expanding and enhancing them. Social media has also extended to the organisation and co-workers ‘connect’ using social media software. In recent years, social media technologies have also been used to support communications and collaboration between co-workers within organisations. This study examines the use of one such technology, Workplace by Facebook, which replicates the operation and function of Facebook for work-related rather than purely social, purposes. Using survey data from employees, the Workplace application data, and semi-structured interviews, this thesis explores the extent of its use among staff in a large technology organisation and analyses what has driven that use. This study argues that the organisation’s use of social media has the same factors of use and drivers as other organisational technologies. The study adopts a mixed-methods approach of quantitative and qualitative techniques. The Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) (Venkatesh, Morris, Davis, & Davis, 2003) is employed, and a survey was conducted based on that model. Further insights were gained from data collected in ten semi-structured interviews. The study finds that the predictors derived from the UTAUT relate closely to the use of social media by the individuals in the organisation. The study therefore suggests that social media use in the workplace has similar drivers to those of traditional enterprise technology. In addition, findings suggest additional factors influence the use of enterprise social media, particularly factors based on external rather than internal social influence. This is a new and different aspect of organisational social media use compared to traditional enterprise technologies.

Simultaneous low- and high-mass star formation in a massive protocluster: ALMA observations of G11.92-0.61

description: We present 1.05 mm ALMA observations of the deeply embedded high-mass protocluster G11.92-0.61, designed to search for low-mass cores within the accretion reservoir of the massive protostars. Our ALMA mosaic, which covers an extent of ~0.7 pc at sub-arcsecond (~1400 au) resolution, reveals a rich population of 16 new millimetre continuum sources surrounding the three previously-known millimetre cores. Most of the new sources are located in the outer reaches of the accretion reservoir: the median projected separation from the central, massive (proto)star MM1 is ~0.17 pc. The derived physical properties of the new millimetre continuum sources are consistent with those of low-mass prestellar and protostellar cores in nearby star-forming regions: the median mass, radius, and density of the new sources are 1.3 Msun, 1600 au, and n(H2)~10^7 cm^-3. At least three of the low-mass cores in G11.92-0.61 drive molecular outflows, traced by high-velocity 12CO(3-2) (observed with the SMA) and/or by H2CO and CH3OH emission (observed with ALMA). This finding, combined with the known outflow/accretion activity of MM1, indicates that high- and low-mass stars are forming (accreting) simultaneously within this protocluster. Our ALMA results are consistent with the predictions of competitive-accretion-type models in which high-mass stars form along with their surrounding clusters.

Gaia reveals a metal-rich in-situ component of the local stellar halo

description: We use the first Gaia data release, combined with RAVE and APOGEE spectroscopic surveys, to investigate the origin of halo stars within -1. The orbital directions of these metal-rich halo stars are preferentially aligned with the disk rotation, in sharp contrast with the isotropic orbital distribution of the more metal-poor halo stars. We find similar properties in the Latte cosmological zoom-in simulation of a Milky Way-like galaxy from the FIRE project. In Latte, metal-rich halo stars formed primarily inside of the solar circle, while lower-metallicity halo stars preferentially formed at larger distances (extending beyond the virial radius). This suggests that metal-rich halo stars in the Solar neighborhood in fact formed in-situ within the Galactic disk rather than having been accreted from satellite systems. These stars, currently on halo-like orbits, therefore have likely undergone substantial radial migration/heating.

description: The dynamics of a dense binary mixture of soft dumbbells, each subject to an active propulsion force and thermal fluctuations, shows a sudden arrest, first to a translational then to a rotational glass, as one reduces temperature $T$ or the self-propulsion force $f$. Is the temperature-induced glass different from the activity-induced glass? To address this question, we monitor the dynamics along an iso-relaxation-time contour in the $(T-f)$ plane. We find dramatic differences both in the fragility and in the nature of dynamical heterogeneity which characterise the onset of glass formation - the activity-induced glass exhibits large swirls or vortices, whose scale is set by activity, and appears to diverge as one approaches the glass transition. This large collective swirling movement should have implications for collective cell migration in epithelial layers.

Observation-based Sea surface temperature trends in Atlantic large marine ecosystems

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: Variations in Sea Surface Temperature (SST) are an important driver of marine species abundance in Large Marine Ecosystems (LMEs). Studies concerned with climate change-induced SST trends within these LMEs have so far been relying on satellite data and reanalysis products, with the disadvantages of only having short time periods available and having to rely on the ability of the models to correctly simulate SST dynamics, respectively.

Here, we provide for the first time a long-term trend analysis of SST for 17 LMEs of the Atlantic Ocean over two different time periods (1957–2020 and 1980–2020) based on in-situ data gathered from three data collections. We sort our results according to warming categories that were established in an earlier study, i.e., “cooling” (below 0 °C/dec), “slow” (0–0.07 °C/dec), “moderate” (0.07–0.14 °C/dec), “fast” (0.14–0.21 °C/dec) and “superfast” (above 0.21 °C/dec). Our results show a persistent “slow” to “superfast” warming in all considered LMEs. 

However, the sparse data coverage induces large uncertainties, so that many LMEs cannot uniquely be assigned to one warming category only. We detect no systematic changes in the seasonal SST amplitude of the considered LMEs. We find that the LMEs of the North Atlantic warm faster than those of the South Atlantic and that this difference is increasing with time. Out of the North Atlantic LMEs, the Norwegian Sea, North Sea, Celtic-Biscay Shelf, Gulf of Mexico and the Northeast U.S. Continental Shelf belong exclusively to the superfast warming category for the period 1980–2020.

Keeping up appearances: beauty, ageing and realism and its symbolism in art and literature in ancient Egypt
Creators: name: Hartwell, Suzette
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: This paper will attempt to explain that despite an abundance of artworks depicting ancient Egyptians as eternally youthful and beautiful, realistic images of old age did exist throughout their history of both royalty and the commoner. However, there was an alternative to painting an entirely old person by merely adding the symbolism of age. For this, the artist had a repertoire of tools at his command, grey wigs for unlined and youthful faces, adding corpulence to body parts denoting success through office or painting or carving an extra fold on the eyelid and a drooping, aged eyebrow. Such images were proudly represented or subtly hinted at, thus acknowledging the older individual in society. Acutely aware of the ageing effects of the environment over time on the face and the body, both physicians and magicians sought the means to remedy these maladies, attesting to them in their ancient writings. The literature of the eras also celebrated the beauty of the gods and of the people themselves, capturing the essence of both and considered the positive and negative consequences of ageing. The notion of beauty and one’s appearance in life and death is also explored for both men and women. Beauty in the form of symbolism versus the realistic portrayal of such is also considered, in an endeavour to understand if the ancient artist drew realistically or not what he saw at the time, versus our perceptions of realism in our own era. The evidence under discussion will consider the portrayal of the human figure on wall decorations in tombs, votive objects and statues from funerary or religious perspectives. Reference is made to the Old, Middle and New Kingdoms and Amarna period for ageing, beauty, realism and literary examples.

description: This paper uses radial colour profiles to infer the distributions of dust, gas and star formation in z=0.4-1.4 star-forming main sequence galaxies. We start with the standard UVJ-based method to estimate dust extinction and specific star formation rate (sSFR). By replacing J with I band, a new calibration method suitable for use with ACS+WFC3 data is created (i.e. UVI diagram). Using a multi-wavelength multi-aperture photometry catalogue based on CANDELS, UVI colour profiles of 1328 galaxies are stacked in stellar mass and redshift bins. The resulting colour gradients, covering a radial range of 0.2--2.0 effective radii, increase strongly with galaxy mass and with global $A_V$. Colour gradient directions are nearly parallel to the Calzetti extinction vector, indicating that dust plays a more important role than stellar population variations. With our calibration, the resulting $A_V$ profiles fall much more slowly than stellar mass profiles over the measured radial range. sSFR gradients are nearly flat without central quenching signatures, except for $M_*>10^{10.5} M_{\odot}$, where central declines of 20--25 per cent are observed. Both sets of profiles agree well with previous radial sSFR and (continuum) $A_V$ measurements. They are also consistent with the sSFR profiles and, if assuming a radially constant gas-to-dust ratio, gas profiles in recent hydrodynamic models. We finally discuss the striking findings that SFR scales with stellar mass density in the inner parts of galaxies, and that dust content is high in the outer parts despite low stellar-mass surface densities there.

description: Upadacitinib was approved to treat rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, ulcerative colitis, ankylosing spondylitis, and atopic dermatitis. This study assessed the adverse events (AEs) associated with upadacitinib by mining data from the US Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS). Disproportionality analyses, including the reporting odds ratio (ROR), the proportional reporting ratio (PRR), the Bayesian confidence propagation neural network (BCPNN), and the multi-item gamma Poisson shrinker (MGPS) algorithms, were employed to quantify the signals of upadacitinib-associated AEs. A total of 3,837,420 reports of AEs were collected from the FAERS database, of which 4494 reports were identified with upadacitinib as the “primary suspect (PS)”. Upadacitinib-induced AEs occurrence targeted 27 system organ clases (SOCs). A total of 200 significant disproportionality PTs conforming to the four algorithms were simultaneously retained. Unexpected significant AEs, such as arthralgia, musculoskeletal stiffness, diverticulitis, and cataract might also occur. The median onset time of upadacitinib-associated AEs was 65 days (interquartile range [IQR] 21–182 days), and most of the onsets occurred within the first 1, 2, 3, and 4 months after initiation of upadacitinib. This study found potential new AEs signals and might provide important support for clinical monitoring and risk identification of upadacitinib.

description: QSO absorption spectroscopy provides a sensitive probe of both the neutral medium and diffuse ionized gas in the distant Universe. It extends 21cm maps of gaseous structures around low-redshift galaxies both to lower gas column densities and to higher redshifts. Combining galaxy surveys with absorption-line observations of gas around galaxies enables comprehensive studies of baryon cycles in galaxy outskirts over cosmic time. This Chapter presents a review of the empirical understanding of the cosmic neutral gas reservoir from studies of damped Lya absorbers (DLAs). It describes the constraints on the star formation relation and chemical enrichment history in the outskirts of distant galaxies from DLA studies. A brief discussion of available constraints on the ionized circumgalactic gas from studies of lower column density Lya absorbers and associated ionic absorption transitions is presented at the end.

description: We model the intermediate-mass black hole HLX-1, using the Hubble Space Telescope, XMM-Newton and Swift. We quantify the relative contributions of a bluer component, function of X-ray irradiation, and a redder component, constant and likely coming from an old stellar population. We estimate a black hole mass of about (2^{+2}_{-1}) x 10^4 M_{sun}, a spin parameter a/M ~ 0.9 for moderately face-on view, and a peak outburst luminosity of about 0.3 times the Eddington luminosity. We discuss the discrepancy between the characteristic sizes inferred from the short X-ray timescale (R ~ a few 10^{11} cm) and from the optical emitter (R sqrt[cos theta] ~ 2.2 x 10^{13} cm). One possibility is that the optical emitter is a circumbinary disk; however, we disfavour this scenario because it would require a very small donor star. A more plausible scenario is that the disk is large but only the inner annuli are involved in the X-ray outburst. We propose that the recurrent outbursts are caused by an accretion-rate oscillation driven by wind instability in the inner disk. We argue that the system has a long-term-average accretion rate of a few percent Eddington, just below the upper limit of the low/hard state; a wind-driven oscillation can trigger transitions to the high/soft state, with a recurrence period of ~1 year (much longer than the binary period, which we estimate as ~10 days). The oscillation that dominated the system in the last decade is now damped such that the accretion rate no longer reaches the level required to trigger a transition. Finally, we highlight similarities between disk winds in HLX-1 and in the Galactic black hole V404 Cyg.

description: Type III CRISPR-Cas systems code for a multi-subunit ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complex that mediates DNA cleavage and synthesizes cyclic oligoadenylate (cOA) second messenger to confer anti-viral immunity. Both immune activities are to be activated upon binding to target RNA transcripts by their complementarity to crRNA, and autoimmunity avoidance is determined by extended complementarity between the 5ʹ-repeat tag of crRNA and 3ʹ-flanking sequences of target transcripts (anti-tag). However, as to how the strategy could achieve stringent autoimmunity avoidance remained elusive. In this study, we systematically investigated how the complementarity of the crRNA 5ʹ-tag and anti-tag (i.e., tag complementarity) could affect the interference activities (DNA cleavage activity and cOA synthesis activity) of Cmr-α, a type III-B system in Sulfolobus islandicus Rey15A. The results revealed an increasing suppression on both activities by increasing degrees of tag complementarity and a critical function of the 7th nucleotide of crRNA in avoiding autoimmunity. More importantly, mutagenesis of Cmr3α exerts either positive or negative effects on the cOA synthesis activity depending on the degrees of tag complementarity, suggesting that the subunit, coupling with the interaction between crRNA tag and anti-tag, function in facilitating immunity and avoiding autoimmunity in Type III-B systems.

Caregiver burden and relationship satisfaction in ASD-NT intimate relationships
Creators: name: Millar-Powell, Naomi
Publisher: name: Macquarie University

Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a pervasive developmental disorder featuring difficulties with socio-emotional reciprocity, communication, and repetitive patterns of behaviour, as well as narrowed interests that hinder daily functioning (APA, 2013). However, the symptoms of ASD vary among individuals. Therefore, some people are unable to live independent lives (Hofvandet et al., 2009), while others are able to live independently and develop intimate relationships with others. These couplings, referred to as ASD-Neurotypical (NT) relationships, were the focus of this study. Adopting a mixed methods approach, quantitative and qualitative data regarding relationship satisfaction, positive communication patterns, and social support was collected across both groups (i.e., ASD, N=12, and NT, N=60). Caregiver burden was assessed among NT partners. The findings suggest that relationship satisfaction and perceptions of positive communications are lower among NT partners than those with ASD. Further, caregiver burden was comparatively high and negatively related to relationship satisfaction. Finally, a moderating pattern related to social support was suggested by the quantitative and supported by the qualitative findings. A framework informed by the a priori research questions was imposed on the qualitative data. The themes identified are as follows: caregiving, receiving care, social support and communication, as well as disconnection, grief and sorrow.

description: In the past decade, complex networks of light emitters are proposed as novel platforms for photonic circuits and lab-on-chip active devices. Lasing networks made by connected multiple gain components and graphs of nanoscale random lasers (RLs) obtained from complex meshes of polymeric nanofibers are successful prototypes. However, in the reported research, mainly collective emission from a whole network of resonators is investigated, and only in a few cases, the emission from single points showing, although homogeneous and broad, spatial emission. In all cases, simultaneous activation of the miniaturized lasers is observed. Here, differently, we realize heterogeneous random lasers made of ribbon-like and highly porous fibers with evident RL action from separated micrometric domains that alternatively switch on and off by tuning the pumping light intensity. We visualize this novel effect by building for the first time replica symmetry breaking (RSB) maps of the emitting fibers with 2 μm spatial resolution. In addition, we calculate the spatial correlations of the laser regions showing clearly an average extension of 50 μm. The observed blinking effect is due to mode interaction along light guiding fibers and opens new avenues in the fabrication of flexible photonic networks with specific and adaptable activity.

description: We present the first three-dimensional measurements of the velocity of various ejecta knots in Tycho's supernova remnant, known to result from a Type Ia explosion. Chandra X-ray observations over a 12-year baseline from 2003 to 2015 allow us to measure the proper motion of nearly 60 "tufts" of Si-rich ejecta, giving us the velocity in the plane of the sky. For the line of sight velocity, we use two different methods: a non-equilibrium ionization model fit to the strong Si and S lines in the 1.2-2.8 keV regime, and a fit consisting of a series of Gaussian lines. These methods give consistent results, allowing us to determine the red or blue shift of each of the knots. Assuming a distance of 3.5 kpc, we find total velocities that range from 2400 to 6600 km s$^{-1}$, with a mean of 4430 km s$^{-1}$. We find several regions where the ejecta knots have overtaken the forward shock. These regions have proper motions in excess of 6000 km s$^{-1}$. Some Type Ia supernova explosion models predict a velocity asymmetry in the ejecta. We find no such velocity asymmetries in Tycho, and discuss our findings in light of various explosion models, favoring those delayed detonation models with relatively vigorous and symmetrical deflagrations. Finally, we compare measurements with models of the remnant's evolution that include both smooth and clumpy ejecta profiles, finding that both ejecta profiles can be accommodated by the observations.

description: Wind speed forecasting models and their application to wind farm operations are attaining remarkable attention in the literature because of its benefits as a clean energy source. In this paper, we suggested the time series machine learning approach called random forest regression for predicting wind speed variations. The computed values of mutual information and auto-correlation shows that wind speed values depend on the past data up to 12 hours. The random forest model was trained using ensemble from two weeks data with previous 12 hours values as input for every value. The computed root mean square error shows that model trained with two weeks data can be employed to make reliable short-term predictions up to three years ahead.

description: On-farm research was conducted in Dendenyore Communal Land and Zana Resettlement areas of Hwedza District, Zimbabwe from 1999 to 2001. The objective of the study was to evaluate the effects of velvet bean and cowpea on growth and yield of maize in legume-maize rotation system. A total of 14 treatments, which consisted of forage legume and maize crops were examined. The experiment was established in a randomized complete block design with 9 replicates. On-farm sites were the replicates. The results show a significant residual effect of velvet bean and cowpea, when grown with single super phosphate fertiliser, on the maize stover and grain yield. They indicate significant phosphorus residual effects on a subsequent maize crop on sandy soils. Forage legumes contribute to residual soil fertility in fallen leaves and roots that increases yield of subsequent crops. The results also reveal that biomass production in perennial leys, grazed during the dry season, would be greater in the second season than in the establishment year. The results also indicate that in the velvet bean systems, especially green manure, nitrogen is lost very early in the season. This may lead to lack of synchrony between nutrient availability and crop uptake. The maize after green manure system had a nitrogen use efficiency of about 11 kg/kg of nitrogen applied. These results show the residual potential of forage legumes in reducing nitrogen fertiliser need for subsequent maize crops in mixed livestock-cropping systems.

description: Marcus Caelius Rufus was a young, hot-headed, and complex character in the dramas of the late Roman Republic. This thesis is a study of the fourteen letters he wrote to Marcus Tullius Cicero between 51 and 50 BCE. This small selection of letters will serve as the basis for a subsequent detailed study which aims to read between the lines of the correspondence and identify the underlying character of Caelius and the nature of his self-presentation. To do so, this study will observe the usage or avoidance of particular features of the epistolary genre, including the use of politeness, humour, sarcasm, seriousness, and the making of requests. By observing the circumstances in which these features of communication are employed or avoided, valuable biographical data concerning important historical figures will be revealed, along with sociolinguistic data relevant to how individuals communicate in different circumstances and contexts. There has been a plethora of scholarly work on different communicative and epistolary features. By and large, this scholarship is concerned primarily with what function different features serve, but not what their use tells us about the user. We understand clearly what being polite is meant to achieve, but what does it say about the letter writer himself?

description: We present clustering analyses of identically-selected star-forming galaxies in 3 narrow redshift slices (at z=0.8, z=1.47 and z=2.23), from HiZELS, a deep, near-infrared narrow-band survey. The HiZELS samples span the peak in the cosmic star-formation rate density, identifying typical star-forming galaxies at each epoch. Narrow-band samples have well-defined redshift distributions and are therefore ideal for clustering analyses. We quantify the clustering of the three samples, and of H-alpha luminosity-selected subsamples, initially using simple power law fits to the two-point correlation function. We extend this work to link the evolution of star-forming galaxies and their host dark matter halos over cosmic time using sophisticated dark matter halo models. We find that the clustering strength, r0, and the bias of galaxy populations relative to the clustering of dark matter increase linearly with H-alpha luminosity (and, by implication, star-formation rate) at all three redshifts, as do the host dark matter halo masses of the HiZELS galaxies. The typical galaxies in our samples are star-forming centrals, residing in halos of mass M_halo ~ a few times 10^12M_solar. We find a remarkably tight redshift-independent relation between the H-alpha luminosity scaled by the characteristic luminosity, L(H-alpha)/L(H-alpha)*(z), and the minimum host dark matter halo mass of central galaxies. This reveals that the dark matter halo environment is a strong driver of galaxy star-formation rate and therefore of the evolution of the star-formation rate density in the Universe.

description: Процесс гуманизации направлен на развитие человеческого потенциала, который может не вписываться в повседневную реальность как социально-культурная норма. В отношении некоторых категорий людей в обществе формируется стереотипное отношение, основанное на различных представлениях о человеке и его природе. Особое место в этом смысле занимают дети с умственной отсталостью. Длительное время им отказывали не только в реализации элементарных прав, но и даже в праве на жизнь. В современном мире отношение к особым детям изменилось. Предтечей этого стало признание права на образование как права человека, которое должно быть реализовано каждым без исключения, в том числе лицами с интеллектуальными нарушениями. В связи с этим, в представленной статье отражены некоторые аспекты реализации права на образование несовершеннолетними лицами с умственной отсталостью.

description: Engineering Computations—Original material written as Jupyter Notebooks for an undergraduate engineering course, Fall 2017
Module 1: Get data off the ground

This course assumes no coding experience, so the first three lessons are focused on creating a foundation with Python programming constructs using essentially no mathematics. The fourth lesson introduces the basic data structure in scientific computing: arrays. The final lesson is a worked example of linear regression with real data.
Lesson 1: Interacting with Python.
Background: What is Python? Idea of interpreted vs. compiled language. Why use Python? It is a general-purpose and high-productivity language. Getting started: interactive Python (IPython). Using Python as a calculator. New concepts: function, string, variables, assignment, type, special variables (True, False, None). Supported operations, logical operations. Reading error messages.
Lesson 2: Play with data in Jupyter
What is Jupyter? Working with Jupyter. Playing with Python strings: assignment, indexing, slicing. String methods: count, find, index, strip, startswith, split. Play with Python lists: assignment, nested lists, indexing, slicing. String methods: append, index. List membership. Iteration with for-statements. Conditionals.
Lesson 3: Strings and lists in action
A full example using what you learned in lessons 1 and 2: playing with a text file containing the MAE Bulletin (list of courses with their numbers, description, pre-requisites). Reading a data from a file. Cleaning and organizing text data.
Lesson 4: Play with NumPy arrays
Two of the most important libraries for scientific computing with Python: NumPy and Matplotlib. Importing libraries. NumPy functions to create arrays: linspace, ones, zeros, empty, copy. Array operations. Multidimensional arrays. Performance advantage of arrays over lists. Drawing 2D line plots of array data.
Lesson 5: Linear regression with real data
A full worked example using real data of earth temperature over time. Step 1: reading data from a file. Step 2: plotting the data; making beautiful plots. Step 3: least-squares linear regression. Step 4: applying linear regression using NumPy. Split regression.

description: A Kochen-Specker (KS) set is a specific set of projectors and measurement contexts that prove the Bell-Kochen-Specker contextuality theorem. The simplest known KS sets in Hilbert space dimensions $d=3,4,5,6,8$ are reproduced, and several methods by which a new KS set can be constructed using one or more known KS sets in lower dimensions are reviewed and improved. These KS sets and improved methods enable the construction of explicitly critical new KS sets in all dimensions, where critical refers to the irreducibility of the set of contexts. The simplest known critical KS sets are derived in all even dimensions $d\geq10$ with at most 9 contexts and 30 projectors, and in all odd dimensions $d\geq 7$ with at most 13 contexts and 39 projectors. These results show that neither the number of contexts nor the number of projectors in a minimal KS set scales with dimension $d$.
