A copula-based analysis of flood phenomena in Victoria, Australia
Creators: name: Abdul Rauf, Ummul Fahri
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: The issue of floods in Australia is receiving increased researchers’ attention. Floods normally occur when some part of the country experiences high level of precipitation for a certain period of time. Natural disaster protection plans, which have flood mitigation projects, intensified the studies of rainfall modelling due to urgent need in water resource management. As a result, statistical analysis of rainfall is becoming increasingly important resulting from the unpredictable climactic condition prevailing in many parts of the world. This research presents a statistical analysis of rainfall characteristics over Victoria, Australia. Traditional approaches in building multivariate distributions pose some limitations especially in the field of hydrology. This is due to the fact that hydrological variables are highly dependent and do not always satisfy the traditional modelling assumptions. Copulas are regarded as one of the best tools in assisting statisticians in constructing joint distribution of multivariate random variables with different types of marginal distributions. Copulas also provide a compliant procedure where the dependence structure between the variables can be consistently preserved. Four hydrologic applications are presented using several copula-based approaches: (1) joint rainfall characteristics modelling using the parametric family of copulas, (2) applications on Beta kernel copula analysis using parametric and nonparametric marginal distributions, (3) comparison studies between parametric and nonparametric copulas, and (4) studies of return periods.

description: Abstract

The study examined the role of national directorate of employment in curbing unemployment in Nigeria with particular reference to Edo State within the time frame of 2012 to 2022. Unemployment is one of the developmental problems that face every developing economy in this twenty-first century, and Nigeria is not exempted.  The origin of unemployment in Nigeria can be traced back to the oil boom era of 1970s.  The study examined if the National Directorate of Employment (NDC) has wellarticulated programmes able to curb unemployment rate in Edo State; ascertain if the NDE is able to maintain data bank on employment in view of reducing the rate of unemployment in Edo State; and examine the challenges facing the NDE in its bid to curb the unemployment rate in Edo State. This study adopted the survey research design. The population of the study include the total number of persons living of Edo state which according to the National Population Commission (2006) is 3,233,366. The method of data analysis used for the purpose of this study was the simple percentage (%) and the Pearson’s Correlation Coefficient. The study discovered amongst others that there is a significant relationship between the NDE programmes and unemployment rate in Edo State. It recommended amongst others that NDE should imbibe the culture of maintaining an up to date data on unemployment, and NDE should engage in rigorous public sensitization of its plans and programs.  Keywords: Unemployment, National Directorate of Employment, empowerment, skills development
Benchmarking international road policing in low to middle-income countries
Creators: name: Shuey, Raymond
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: Globally, road fatalities claim 1.3 million lives annually with an additional 20 to 50 million people seriously injured. Over 90% of these deaths occur in low to middle-income countries where road policing and traffic law enforcement strategies and education have generally been given low priority by governments and policing authorities. The United Nations, ‘Decade of Action’ 2011 aims to reduce this trauma by 50% by 2020, with an integrated strategy including impacting upon road user behaviours. This thesis examines the challenges facing road policing and law enforcement internationally and demonstrates that road safety in low to middle-income countries is under-resourced and poorly funded with an inability to provide strategic interventions for road trauma reduction. There is no audit, benchmark or road safety index to guide development. A critical gap is identified when comparing these countries to good practice road policing organisations. The research draws together the themes identified in the literature, interviews with ten road safety experts, a survey of 216 practitioners from ten countries and participant observation by the author in low to middle-income countries over six years to provide the policy framework for a universal benchmarking and assessment solution to assist those countries in their law enforcement programs.

This research by project has drawn together a concept similar to that developed in the vehicle classification ‘New Car Assessment Program (NCAP) and the ‘International Road Assessment Program’ (iRAP). It has classified and benchmarked road policing and traffic law enforcement to identify index ratings of good practice. These are presented in the companion ‘International Road Policing Assessment Program’ (IRPAP), designed for use in improving police performance. It is highly relevant to policing in low to middle-income countries, and has a particular focus on those aspects or programs that can provide sustainable results. The manual serves as a ‘toolkit’ for traffic law enforcement and road safety professionals in that it can be used to evaluate discrete areas or whole-of-country performance, and it clearly sets out the steps required to work towards good practice in this field. The themes identified for benchmarking performance are; the quality of data and analysis for evidence-based policing, the community relationship, the road policing support infrastructure, the professionalism of the traffic police and the operational capability. These defined assessable elements within the manual are banded together into ‘star-rating’ categories with upgrade pathways to higher ratings. This provides a practical and innovative self-assessment structure to measure road policing standards against good practice with graduated pathways to enable continuous improvement, particularly in low to middle-income countries.

description: This project involves the visual exploration of different social, cultural and spiritual experiences in both the Third World and the West, as a metaphor for the human condition. It draws upon the experiences of people living in various situations of poverty and hardship in both Western and Thirld World communities. Through this research program I have created a series of visual works, which explore and questions many of the different social, cultural and spiritual characteristics of groups of people experiencing situations of extreme poverty, neglect and hardship within both Western and Thrid World societies. The main research for this roject has involved creating crucial links between my art practice and my ongoing involvement in humanitarian/aid programs in Andhra Pradesh, India, working with people in impoverished Third World conditions, and social welfare work in the Norther n Suburbs of Melbourne, Australia. By drawing on these two specific areas, this research project explores the theme of poverty as a valid subject for the visual artist in establishing a broader metaphor for the human condition in the 21st century. This has involved testing new insights in this area in relation to contemporary fine art, the relationship between poverty and contemporary visual art and the investigation of the artist as a documenter of real life experiences in situations both inside and outside of the typical Western experience of living.

description: According to ideomotor theories, intended effects caused by a certain action are anticipated before action execution. In the present study, we examined the question of whether action effects play a role in cued task-switching. In our study, the participants practiced task-response-effect mappings in an acquisition phase, in which action effects occur after a response in a certain task context. In the ensuing transfer phase, the previously practiced mappings were changed in a random, unpredictable task-response-effect mapping. When changed into unpredictable action-effects, RT as well as switch-costs increased, but this occurred mainly in trials with short preparation time and not with long preparation time. Moreover, switch costs were generally smaller with predictable action-effects than with unpredictable action-effects. This suggests that anticipated task-specific action effects help to activate the relevant task-set before task execution when the task is not yet already prepared based on the cue.

Corporate social responsibility: stakeholder determination and reporting
Creators: name: Adams, Kevin
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: Corporate social responsibility suggests that business cannot be separated from societal issues such as community and environment and leads to the basic premise that a company is responsible, not only to maximise profits, but also to contribute to the well-being of society. The traditional view that the role of corporations and businesses in society is to maximise the wealth of its shareholders is, or has, become too restrictive. There is evidence to support the notion that corporations are considered to be members of society and as such have social responsibility. The purpose of this study is to identify corporate stakeholders, motivations for providing social reports and to determine whether or not the current financial reporting regime that focuses on mostly economic information is capable of capturing the social impact of corporate operations in Australia from a preparer’s perspective. These objectives have been achieved via a postal questionnaire of 109 respondents from the top 500 largest Australian companies and subsequent interviews of ten selected respondents. The analysis shows that the identification of stakeholders and reporting of social information are important. The survey also shows that employees (product generators) are considered to be the most important group, followed by shareholders (fund generators). The principal motivations for providing social information are: recognition of stakeholders’ right to be informed; the need for social responsibility, obligation and accountability to the society; and the need for being transparent to the broader constituency. The analysis also shows that social reporting is seen to be complementary rather than a substitute for traditional financial reporting and underscores the limited relevance of conventional financial reports for conveying information about corporate social responsibility obligations in all their manifestations.

description: The state-of-the-art of random finite set (RFS) based approaches for multi-sensor multi-object setups solve the classification and track estimation jointly in a Bayesian style. This is computationally demanding and often requires additional modeling and parameter estimation. Additionally, these approaches are not designed to make use of direct class estimations, e.g., from machine learning detectors, but estimate the class based only on the kinematic features. This work applies a separated track classification, which uses direct class estimations, to RFS-based trackers. The proposed approach can be implemented for various RFS-based multi-sensor multi-object tracking algorithms without altering their structure and without additional modeling effort. For the update of the class estimation of a track, three different methods are presented. The three approaches are demonstrated and evaluated in combination with a labeled multi-Bernoulli filter on simulated and real-world data.

Investigation of nanostructured thin film based Schottky diodes for hydrogen sensing
Creators: name: Yu, Jerry
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: In this thesis, the author presents theoretical and experimental studies for understanding the fundamentals of nanostructured thin film based Schottky diodes when they were applied as hydrogen sensors. Metal and nanocrystalline semiconducting nanomaterials can provide a significantly higher surface to volume ratio as compared to bulk materials. Nanomaterials can also exist with sharp edged features in their surface morphology to induce enhanced localised electric fields. Both of these characteristics can therefore provide innovative sensors with considerably improved static and dynamic sensing performance.

The configuration of the sensors studied herein were based on Pt / nanostructured semiconducting metal oxide / SiC using molybdenum oxide (MoO3) and zinc oxide (ZnO). The author deposited MoO3 nanostructured thin films on SiC substrates by a thermal evaporation technique. Four types of MoO3 morphologies (nanoplatelets, nanoplatelets-nanowires, randomly orientated nanoplatelets and nanoflowers) were examined. The author also deposited ZnO nanostructured films on SiC by evaporation-condensation, pulse laser deposition and radio frequency (RF) sputtering techniques. Three types of ZnO morphologies (nanoplatelets-nanowires, nanograins and nanorods) were obtained. These semiconducting metal oxides with different morphologies were investigated as gas sensing layers in Schottky diodes for hydrogen sensing applications.

The static (sensitivity, stability) and dynamic performance of these diodes towards hydrogen gas were investigated. Their current-voltage (I-V) characteristics were measured and the change in barrier height and lateral voltage shift was examined under a constant current mode of operation. The developed, novel sensors were studied in both the forward and reverse biased conditions. The author identified that operation in reverse bias exhibited a larger voltage shift as compared to the forward bias operation. This observation was associated to the presence of enhanced localised electric fields that originate from the edges and corners of the nanostructured morphologies. These enhanced electric fields significantly lower the reverse Schottky barrier height and allow a greater flow of current.
The author linked the enhanced electric field theory in literature, to the results obtained in order to investigate the electrical properties of metal oxides based on nanorod and nanoplatelet morphologies. By curve fitting the measured I-V data to modified reverse bias Schottky diode equations, and important parameters such as the enhancement factor can be obtained and used to describe the ratio of the localised electric fields to the applied field.

The Schottky diodes examined in this thesis using nanostructured MoO3 and ZnO as the sensing layer are highly promising as the results indicate that they exhibit high sensitivity towards hydrogen gas over a range of temperatures, as well as dynamic performance and good short term stability.
Technegas easy breather accessory (TEBA: a new concept in lung ventilation scintigraphy
Creators: name: Leiper, Christene
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: The findings of this thesis represent a novel aspect in lung ventilation imaging involving a series of experiments with a new apparatus known as the Technegas Easy Breather Accessory (TEBA). The investigations were undertaken with both normal and Chronic Airways Limitation (CAL) volunteers and with Intubated Intensive Care patients.

The data presented in this research were collected from 144 patients in total. In experiment one there were 25 normal volunteers who underwent conventional ventilation imaging and 25 normal volunteers who underwent TEBA assisted ventilation imaging, while in experiment two, there were 25 volunteers with CAL for conventional ventilation and 25 for TEBA; in experiment three, 25 intubated Intensive Care Patients successfully completed ventilation scintigraphy using TEBA. For experiment four, 20 patients volunteered to complete a Technegas ventilation study prior to their bronchoscopy procedure.

Experiments one and two demonstrated that TEBA was effective in distinguishing normal lung ventilation from ventilation defects found in Chronic Airways Limitation (CAL) and Pulmonary Embolism (PE). Experiment three showed TEBA ventilation imaging could be successfully undertaken by intubated and unconscious patients. This has significant implications for the diagnosis and treatment for patients in ICU who formerly could not undergo this procedure. The results of this experiment will have implications for improving the diagnosis and treatment of patients in critical care.

The findings of this thesis provide further evidence for the first line role of lung scintigraphy in the diagnosis of Pulmonary Embolism (PE). This is of vital importance to the large number of patients who are at risk from the life-threatening diseases of PE and Deep Venous Thrombosis (DVT). This is because timely lung ventilation imaging in the diagnosis and follow-up phase of these diseases will reduce the clinical uncertainty in directing treatment and consequently lower health care costs.

SHARED Infrastructure; Community Corridor Landscapes
Creators: name: Venturi, Simon
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: This research explores the existence and potential of a type of shared infrastructure through a series of urban architectural projects, within peripheral, suburban and inner city urban conditions. The culmination of this research, the Community Corridor Landscapes project develops and tests strategies encouraging shared use of infrastructure in the green valley by closely examining the Dandenong Valley to gain an understanding of the social, eco¬nomic, political and geographical forces shaping this landscape and its surrounding communities. Community participation and ownership is a goal shared by almost all government departments and planning policies, in relation to this as well as many other types of landscapes, but often implemented in limited and ineffectual ways through existing land management systems. The project develops a series of architectural strategies establishing a network of legible permeable pathways allowing the physical re-connection of surrounding communities to each other, as well as to the landscape which in turn encourages further cultural connections. These strategies rely on small incentives inserted into existing development forces already acting on these landscapes such as property subdivision and property acquisition overlays. The project establishes a framework allowing community use of these spaces in exchange for assuming the associated responsibility regarding their maintenance and management and embraces the inevitable change that will occur in surrounding communities and the landscape itself over time.

description: This thesis designs and implements an ontology which encodes the argumentative structure of natural language debates. This Debating Ontology will constitute the database for a prospective Argumentative Dialogue System, whose artificial agent conducts spoken language debates against human opponents on a specific subject, drawing from the argument structure encoded in the ontology. We use methods of argumentation mining to break down a written sample debate into its argument components and relations employing annotation techniques. To this end, we devise an argument annotation scheme as well as detailed annotation guidelines. In addition, we extract a set of keywords from the debate's argument components which will be utilized for the Natural Language Understanding of arguments via similarity matching. We also provide guidelines for said keyword extraction. We design and implement the Debating Ontology, test it and evaluate the quality of the argument annotation and extracted keywords. Both evaluations yield promising results.

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: Dementia has affected the population of the elderly, leading to consistent and continuous growth (Lindeza et al., 2020) in the number of people that need care and emotional support. The utilization of socially assistive robots in the healthcare sector, especially for dementia patients, has raised the eyebrow for further research to reduce the burden on health practitioners and carers and support independent living, as dementia care is a high-need area that needs to leverage technology to augment care (Shu and Woo, 2021). The game-changing possibility brought about by artificial intelligence and robots is causing an uproar by revolutionary impacting, leading, and creating a paradigm-shifting capacity with groundbreaking possibilities in various sectors, most especially the healthcare sector, where it is most used and needed (Haltaufderheide, 2023). To increase acceptance and impact, there is a need to identify the concerns relating to legal, ethical, and social aspects of SARs. The need to evaluate the concerns ranging from education, healthcare, criminal justice, public spaces, the workplace, and emergency-situation response could give insights into what needs to be done and how to proceed. The issues could be grouped into two: the main and minor obstacles to the implementation and use of SARs, further broken down as the critical challenges were safety from acting responsibly and harm avoidance, privacy concerning data collection of individuals and jobs lost due to automation. In contrast, the minor issues were social equity though they were fixed into domains to enhance the more transparent understanding

description: The incorporation of transition metals (TMs) such as Co, Fe, and Mn into SnO2 substantially improves the reversibility of the conversion and the alloying reaction when used as a negative electrode active material in lithium-ion batteries. Moreover, it was shown that the specific benefits of different TM dopants can be combined when introducing more than one dopant into the SnO2 lattice. Herein, a careful characterization of Co and Mn co-doped SnO2 via transmission electron microscopy coupled with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction including Rietveld refinement is reported. Based on this in-depth investigation of the crystal structure and the distribution of the two TM dopants within the lattice, an ex situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and ex situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy were performed to better understand the de-/lithiation mechanism and the synergistic impact of the Co and Mn co-doping. The results specifically suggest that the antithetical redox behaviour of the two dopants might play a decisive role for the enhanced reversibility of the de-/lithiation reaction.

description: Menschen mit schweren psychischen Erkrankungen erleben häufig Einschränkungen, die ihre Teilhabe in verschiedenen Lebensbereichen erschweren. Die Versorgung sollte daher sowohl psychiatrische und psychotherapeutische als auch psychosoziale Angebote umfassen. Psychosoziale Angebote fördern die Teilhabe von Menschen mit psychiatrischen Erkrankungen am sozialen und gesellschaftlichen Leben. Die Versorgungslandschaft wurde über die letzten Jahrzehnte umfänglich ausgebaut. Untersuchungen weisen jedoch darauf hin, dass das Angebot an psychosozialen Therapien defizitär ist und zudem regional große Unterschiede aufweist. Dem vorliegenden Buch liegt eine umfassende und strukturierte Erfassung bestehender psychosozialer und psychiatrischer Versorgungsstrukturen in den Regionen Oberbayern und Schwaben zugrunde. Das Ziel der Erhebung war die Bestandsaufnahme und der Vergleich von regionalen Versorgungsstrukturen. Die Ergebnisse dienen der Bewertung von Verfügbarkeit und Defiziten psychiatrischer und psychosozialer Versorgungsangebote in Deutschland.

description: Large sets of multi-"omics" data has been collected from bulk samples of cancer patients for the last decade. Some studies consistently investigate samples and provide different levels of data for the same patients, such as mRNA and miRNA expression, gene methylation and protein expression. Integration of such data help better understanding the processes within tumours and discover the key regulation elements. The standard approach to data integration involves correlation between expression profiles of the molecules investigated at different levels, e.g. mRNA and miRNA. However, this approach is error prone as it does not consider the heterogeneous nature of bulk samples nor batch effects within datasets that can bias the correlation.

We hypothesized that the signal deconvolution method Independent Component Analysis (ICA) could be used to separate biologically relevant signals from technical biases, extract cell type specific signals from the mixtures and helps integrating omics data measured at different levels. This we tested here by integrating mRNA and miRNA datasets in order to deduce functions of miRNAs.

The following conclusions were made:
1. Consensus ICA was able to decompose pan-cancer TCGA dataset into meaningful transcriptional signals of various cell types and cellular processes.
2. Data integration by correlating components identified in miRNA and mRNA datasets results in a network that links groups of genes to groups of miRNAs.
3. Functional annotation of miRNAs using ICA-based data integration results in high level of annotation with 695 of 791 annotated miRNA.
