description: “Worn out : Exploring the Phenomenon of Mental Health Wearable Devices” is a dissertation based on qualitative research that seeks to understand how the contemporary western understanding of mental well-being and mental ill health is forged through the use of technological interventions such as wearable devices. I attempt to untangle the complex interactions between researchers, device creators, devices, multi-national corporations, mental health practitioners and device users who inhabit a posthuman cyborg world where devices serve as prostheses for supposedly dysfunctional minds. I examine how users ascribe meaning to the physiological artefacts of emotion captured by wearable devices, to construct a sense of self, mediate a sense of control, agency and normativity based on their interaction with these devices. I also explore the influencing factors that drive the creation of algorithms that attempt to determine hitherto elusive objective baselines for states of being that were previously considered subjective and variable. Is the seeming reductionism of a range of meanings of the physiological signs of distress read by devices a cause for concern? Does the use of these devices prove therapeutic or are they being used as another means of socialization? These are the questions I seek to answer through the examination of the phenomenon of individual and corporate mental health wearable devices.

description: Depuis le début des fouilles  en 1864  plus de 1 000 timbres d amphores à vin de type ""Dressel 1"" ont été dénombrés. Produites au Ier siècle avant notre ère sur le littoral tyrrhénien de l Italie  cette collection est la plus importante recensée à l échelle du monde romain pour ce type d amphore. Ces timbres indiquent parfois le nom du producteur du vin transporté ou de l artisan potier qui a fabriqué l amphore. Ils comportent également très souvent des symboles (trident  étoile  etc.) ou des lettres qui semblent correspondre à un système de codage dont le sens nous échappe encore. L étude conjointe des timbres et de la composition des argiles des récipients permet d identifier l origine des amphores  et donc du vin qu elles contenaient.
Neighbourhood density effects in spoken word production

description: Most theories of speech production postulate that in the process of producing words, representations that are similar to the target word with respect to its meaning and, for some theories, in terms of form, also become active. However, in previous speech production research, findings are still inconclusive with regards to the influence of the number of these neighbours, with data supporting the full range of possibilities - no effect, inhibitory and facilitatory effects. This thesis investigates what constitutes a word’s meaning and form neighbourhood in the lexicon and whether and how this neighbourhood might affect the production of the intended target word. Paper 1 is a comparison of several measures of semantic neighbourhood density, and an investigation of their influence on the picture naming performance of English monolinguals and individuals with aphasia. While no effect was observed in monolinguals, a facilitation effect of semantic neighbours was observed in aphasic speakers. Paper 2 follows this up with a case study investigating the effects of different semantic neighbourhood measures on a facilitated naming paradigm involving two aphasic participants with different levels of impairment. Although inhibitory effects of semantic neighbourhood variables were observed for both participants at baseline, the change in each participant’s performance at post-test was affected differently and by distinct measures in each participant. In Paper 3, the picture naming performance of English monolinguals and late French-English bilinguals is investigated with respect different types of phonological neighbourhood density and frequency measures , including a novel phonological neighbourhood density metric adapted to these bilingual speakers. Results showed, for both speaker groups, an interaction between phonological neighbourhood measures and the target word’s frequency, with inhibitory effects on low frequency targets and facilitatory effects on the most frequent targets, frequency being affected, for bilinguals, by language experience and the overlap between the target and its translation equivalent. The complex patterns of facilitation and inhibition coming from neighbours that were found across this thesis are discussed in light of the main theories of lexical access in speech production, and are best explained within theories that assume interactivity between the different levels of representation.

description: Nucleic acid medicine is the next-generation therapeutic modality for refractory diseases with its unique mode of action as an alternative to traditional therapies. A nucleic acid delivery system targeted to liver was validated clinically; however, the delivery system of nucleic acids targeting solid tumors following systemic administration is not efficient enough for clinical use. In this study, we first utilized an antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) and polyethylene glycol (PEG) in one-to-one conjugation (PEG-ASO) at the endo-position of the ASO (endo-PEG-ASO). The effects of ASO modification position, PEG structure and molecular weight, and PEG-ASO tumor accumulation were evaluated in vivo. The endo-PEG-ASO showed prolonged pharmacokinetics and enhanced tumor accumulation compared with the conventional ASO and the PEG-ASO modified at the ASO exo-position (exo-PEG-ASO), indicating that the modification position of PEG is crucial for targeting tumors. We also observed that the endo-PEG-ASO indicated possibility of enhanced permeability inside the tumor. Further research is needed to optimize the linker in the endo-PEG-ASO for clinical application as a novel and promising therapeutic format for targeting solid tumors.

description: Little is known about the prevalence of anxiety and depressive disorders amongst Arab people. Furthermore, it is not clear if psychological treatments for disorders of anxiety and depression designed for Western populations are effective with Arab populations. This thesis aimed to: 1) Identify rates of psychological distress, barriers to treatment seeking, and acceptability of psychological treatments in Arab people; 2) Explore strategies for recruiting Arab people into psychological research; and 3) Determine the efficacy of Internet-delivered cognitive behavioural therapy (iCBT) for Arab people with symptoms of anxiety and depression. Using survey methodology, the results of Study 1 and 2 indicated that regardless of location, Arab people reported difficulty accessing treatment, high rates of psychological distress, but were willing to try face-to-face and online mental health services, such as iCBT. Study 3 found that Facebook was a more time-effective method for recruiting participants than traditional print and radio media. Using open trial designs, the results of Study 4 and 5 indicated that iCBT was efficacious and acceptable when administered in the English language to Arab people. Study 6, another open trial, found that iCBT was efficacious and acceptable for Arab people when administered in both the English and Arabic languages. The first two studies contribute to our understanding of the mental health needs of Arab people. Study 3 contributes to our understanding of effective recruitment methods for hard-to-reach populations. Studies 4, 5 and 6 contribute to data indicating that iCBT is efficacious for non-Western people with symptoms of anxiety and depressive disorders. Thus, in combination, these studies contribute to an emerging body of literature regarding the unmet mental health needs of Arab people and highlight the potential of iCBT for improving their access to evidence-based psychological treatments.

description: TeV-scale lepton number violation can affect neutrinoless double beta decay through dimension-9 $ΔL= ΔI = 2$ operators involving two electrons and four quarks. Since the dominant effects within a nucleus are expected to arise from pion exchange, the $ π^- \to π^+ e e$ matrix elements of the dimension-9 operators are a key hadronic input. In this letter we provide estimates for the $π^- \to π^+ $ matrix elements of all Lorentz scalar $ΔI = 2$ four-quark operators relevant to the study of TeV-scale lepton number violation. The analysis is based on chiral $SU(3)$ symmetry, which relates the $π^- \to π^+$ matrix elements of the $ΔI = 2$ operators to the $K^0 \to \bar{K}^0$ and $K \to ππ$ matrix elements of their $ΔS = 2$ and $ΔS = 1$ chiral partners, for which lattice QCD input is available. The inclusion of next-to-leading order chiral loop corrections to all symmetry relations used in the analysis makes our results robust at the $30\%$ level or better, depending on the operator.

Female characters in Turkish German cinematic space: an analysis with examples of three recent films
Creators: name: Robertson, Michelle
Publisher: name: Macquarie University

Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: This thesis shows how the female characters of recent ‗Turkish-German‘ films are situated in transnational, frequently transcultural space, in which they have greater self-determination and individuation compared to characters in earlier films. These cinematic developments reflect changing discourses around integration and multiculturalism in Germany. Three films have been chosen for close analysis. They exemplify the development of a Turkish German cinematic space, and add new migratory patterns to the history of Turkish-German interaction. By the late 20th Century, discourses of multiculturalism had found their way into mainstream media and politics in Germany, in spite of successive governments‘ statements that Germany was not a country of immigration. In the early 21st Century, changes were made to the historically restrictive German citizenship and immigration laws. The concept of integration remains a highly contested one, and as in many other countries, there has been something of a ‗crisis of multiculturalism‘ in Germany. The internal diversity of nation-states, and the external forces of globalisation and transnational ties, constantly draw attention to the difficulty of national identity as a category. Gender plays a central role in nation-building, and in how the state interacts both with its existing population and with immigrants. In cinema, too, anxieties around social change, or of promoting or reinstating certain values, were frequently expressed through gender roles. Relational gender constructions are also employed to uphold relational cultural identities and perceptions of the ethnic other. Turkish immigrants to Germany were frequently constructed as being from a ‗backward‘ tradition, and patriarchal norms viewed as evidence of a resistance to integration in German society. This centrality of gender to the ‗othering‘ of immigrant minorities has been seen in many films portraying Turkish immigrants, or their descendants, in Germany. The three films analysed here illustrate the heterogeneity of Germany‘s Turkish minority, and the impossibility of speaking of a monolithic ‗Turkish culture‘. In their content and their reception, these films are embedded in multiple ways in transnational Turkish German networks of connectivity, mobility and belonging.

description: The magnetic and structural properties of highly ordered (S ~ 0.82) epitaxial Fe50-xMnxPt50 thin films were investigated. We report the change in the magnetic properties of Mn doped FePt epitaxial thin films. This study differs from the earlier experimental studies on Mn doped FePt based alloys. Ordered L10 Fe50-xMnxPt50 (x=0, 6, 9, 12 and 15) thin films with a constant thickness of 45 nm were prepared by co-sputtering Fe50Pt50 and Mn50Pt50 on to MgO (100) single crystal substrate. We find a significant increase in the coercivity for Fe-Mn-Pt thin films. We have shown that this increase in magnetic properties coincide with the tetragonal distortion, while the recent first principles study of Mn doped FePt showed the sub lattice ordering of ferromagnetically aligned Mn atoms would lead to increase in magnetic properties in the FeMnPt ternary alloy system with fixed Pt concentration. At x=12 the coercivity has increased by 46.4 % when compared to Fe50Pt50. The increase in magnetic properties in Fe50-xMnxPt50 is due to the tetragonal distortion as experimental c/a ratio is larger than the expected c/a ratio for ferromagnetically ordered Mn atoms in the sublattice at the concentration x=12. Thus we show that high temperature deposition and high temperature annealing is one of the methods to achieve large coercivity in Mn doped FePt as it leads to tetragonal distortion.

description: Can entrepreneurial activity be stronger and more persistent than the continuity of socialist institutions? The answer to this question is overwhelmingly positive. Using the historical data on entrepreneurship, retail trade and cooperatives in Russian regions, this study shows a strong persistence of entrepreneurship activity in Russia during the period 1926–2018, while we also evidence that the restructuring of the Soviet economy resulted in a structural break in the 1970s. By distinguishing three periods of 1998–99, 2000–07 and 2008–18 since the transition started, we demonstrate that the historical persistence of entrepreneurship is not constant and may change from one period to another.

Subjective decision making process

description: In this research we will investigate how the application of business intelligence can contribute to making decisions based on a certain degree of subjectivity. These are decisions that are made in which a decision is made by the decision maker on the basis of their opinion (for example, whether or not someone has passed a driving test). This is the opposite to objective decision-making in which quantitative data forms the basis for a decision (for example, whether or not someone has passed a theoretical final exam). The research focuses on the HR field where the focus is on the decisions in the selection & recruitment process. The existing literature showed that there is certainly a need to be able to support decisions with quantitative data that BI can help with.However, it also seems that recruiters do not want all decisions to depend on the digitization of data, since they also want to continue to influence the decisions themselves.

description: Isolated Horizons have played an important role in gravitational physics, from characterization of the endpoint of black hole mergers to black hole entropy. With an eye towards a canonical formulation we consider general relativity in first order form. We focus on two issues: i) The role of the internal gauge freedom in consistent formulations of the action principle, and ii) the role a 3+1 decomposition has in the allowed internal gauge. We clarify how the requirement of well posed variational principles compatible with general weakly isolated horizons (WIHs) does lead to a partial gauge fixing in the first order descriptions used previously in the literature. We consider the Palatini action together with the Holst extension, with and without boundary terms at the horizon. We show that, for the complete configuration space --with no gauge fixing--, the Palatini action is differentiable without additional surface terms at the WIH boundary, but the more general Holst action is not. A surface term at the horizon --that renders the action for asymptotically flat configurations differentiable-- makes the Holst action differentiable, but only if one restricts configuration space and partially reduces the internal Lorentz gauge. For the second issue, we show that upon performing a 3+1 decomposition and imposing the time gauge, there is a further gauge reduction of the Hamiltonian theory in terms of Ashtekar-Barbero variables to a $U(1)$-gauge theory on the horizon. We show that even when the Holst action is differentiable without additional surface terms or any gauge fixing for Type I spherically symmetric (strongly) isolated horizons --and a preferred foliation--, this result does not go through for more general isolated or weakly isolated horizons. Our results represent the first comprehensive study of these issues and clarify some contradictory statements found in the literature.

description: We measure the variation of the escape speed of the Galaxy across a range of $\sim$ 40 kpc in Galactocentric radius. The local escape speed is found to be $521^{+46}_{-30}\,\mathrm{km\,s^{-1}}$, in good agreement with other studies. We find that this has already fallen to $379^{+34}_{-28}\,\mathrm{km\,s^{-1}}$ at a radius of 50 kpc. Through measuring the escape speed and its variation, we obtain constraints on the Galactic potential as a whole. In particular, the gradient in the escape speed with radius suggests that the total mass contained within 50 kpc is $29^{+7}_{-5}\times10^{10}\mathrm{M}_\odot$, implying a relatively light dark halo for the Milky Way. Our method represents a novel way of estimating the mass of the Galaxy, and has very different systematics to more commonly used models of tracers, which are more sensitive to the central parts of the halo velocity distributions. Using our inference on the escape speed, we then investigate the orbits of high-speed Milky Way dwarf galaxies. For each dwarf we consider, we predict small pericenter radii and large orbital eccentricities. This naturally explains the large observed ellipticities of two of the dwarfs, which are likely to have been heavily disrupted as they passed through pericenter.

Succession planning in Chinese family-owned businesses in Hong Kong: an exploratory study on critical success factors and successor selection criteria
Creators: name: Chan, Ling Ming
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022

description: This is one of the first studies to engage with succession issues amongst Chinese family-owned businesses (FOBs) in Hong Kong. The study is based on a survey conducted amongst FOBs in the Federation of Hong Kong Industries or The Chinese Manufacturers’ Association of Hong Kong, and also on five in-depth case studies conducted to explore the issues that were revealed in the survey in detail. The study builds cumulatively on previous work on succession in family owned businesses, and identifies eight Critical Success Factors and five Successor Selection Criteria that Chinese founders and successors in family businesses in Hong Kong agree on. The eight Critical Success Factors are: capability and contribution of the successor in the family business; personal characteristics of founder; successor motivated to lead the family business and agrees with the company direction; business environment and the family business scenario to develop the successor in different scenario; fair and planned shareholder changed parallel transfer of power; relationship between founder and successor; corporate culture and organizational structure; and other participants’ view on the management transition of the offspring-successor. Furthermore, the study identifies five Successor Selection Criteria for founders and successors of family businesses in Hong Kong and compares findings with a study using the same framework conducted in Canada and India. The five criteria are: management skills and experience, interpersonal relationships and networks among stakeholders; trust and relationship among family members and owner-manager; self-confidence and commitment of the successor in the family business; family standing and share ownership; and business and working experience of the successor. These are evaluated in terms of their concordance with the non-Chinese FOB literatures, and with the cases studies of Chinese FOBs described in this study. The Thesis concludes that succession issues are even more important for family-owned businesses in Hong Kong than elsewhere, and that insofar as family-owned firms solve their succession problems they will continue to make a vital contribution to business worldwide.

description: Ego-networks are fundamental structures in social graphs, yet the process of their evolution is still widely unexplored. In an online context, a key question is how link recommender systems may skew the growth of these networks, possibly restraining diversity. To shed light on this matter, we analyze the complete temporal evolution of 170M ego-networks extracted from Flickr and Tumblr, comparing links that are created spontaneously with those that have been algorithmically recommended. We find that the evolution of ego-networks is bursty, community-driven, and characterized by subsequent phases of explosive diameter increase, slight shrinking, and stabilization. Recommendations favor popular and well-connected nodes, limiting the diameter expansion. With a matching experiment aimed at detecting causal relationships from observational data, we find that the bias introduced by the recommendations fosters global diversity in the process of neighbor selection. Last, with two link prediction experiments, we show how insights from our analysis can be used to improve the effectiveness of social recommender systems.

Values as the path to sustainability: A critical examination of the relationship between values and sustainability behaviour in organisations
Creators: name: Jung, Tae Hee

description: This thesis critically explores the idea that values drive sustainable behaviour in organisations. Concerns about a sustainable future are gaining a sense of urgency as much of the developed world attempts to address the depletion of essential life sustaining resources, environmental degradation, as well as a global series of social and economic crises. Corporations, as major entities of human behaviour, have a substantial role to play in working towards a sustainable human future. However, many have argued that this require a shift in values in organisations from traditional profit orientation to valuing people and planet as well.This dissertation presents the results of two studies which examine the link between organisational values and sustainability outcomes, in particular the three P's of people, planet and profit. The main research questions were: 1) What, if any, are the differences between sustainable, and less or non-sustainable companies, when profit outcomes and espoused values are compared. 2) How are organisational values filtered internally through the levels of the organisation, i.e individual/ team/ organisation, to achieve the sustainability outcomes of people, planet, profit? In addressing these questions, the following streams of theory were utilised: Stakeholder theory, the resource based view (RBV), sense making theory and the multilevel approach to organisational research. These theories assisted in predicting and interpreting the link between sustainability values,the sustainability outcomes of people, planet, profit and how values of this nature might be actioned within the organisation itself. The studies thereby provide a basis for future research that can go on to demonstrate a quantifiable and causal connection between the behaviour of people at work and the sustainability of organisations.

description: This paper analyses whether the human capital levels embodied in immigrants can explain xenophobic trends for 126 regions in 14 EU-15 countries from 1998 to 2018. It tests if xenophobic regions may be rejecting immigrants because they are poor, a phenomenon recently defined as ‘aporophobia’. The results indicate that larger inflows of low-educated immigrants working in low-skilled occupations are significantly correlated with a higher rejection of migrants, thus confirming the aporophobia hypothesis. The findings in this paper bring light to the discussion of a powerful concept which underpins the need for a more just society.

description: Linear dichroism -- the polarization dependent absorption of electromagnetic waves -- is routinely exploited in applications as diverse as structure determination of DNA or polarization filters in optical technologies. Here filamentary absorbers with a large length-to-width ratio are a prerequisite. For magnetization dynamics in the few GHz frequency regime strictly linear dichroism was not observed for more than eight decades. Here, we show that the bulk chiral magnet Cu$_{2}$OSeO$_{3}$ exhibits linearly polarized magnetization dynamics at an unexpectedly small frequency of about 2 GHz. Unlike optical filters that are assembled from filamentary absorbers, the magnet provides linear polarization as a bulk material for an extremely wide range of length-to-width ratios. In addition, the polarization plane of a given mode can be switched by 90$^\circ$ via a tiny variation in width. Our findings shed a new light on magnetization dynamics in that ferrimagnetic ordering combined with anisotropic exchange interaction offers strictly linear polarization and cross-polarized modes for a broad spectrum of sample shapes. The discovery allows for novel design rules and optimization of microwave-to-magnon transduction in emerging microwave technologies.

description: Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) formed from glyceraldehyde (Gcer) and glycolaldehyde (Gcol) are involved in the pathogenesis of diabetic complications, via interactions with a receptor for AGEs (RAGE). In this study, we aimed to elucidate the RAGE-binding structure in Gcer and Gcol-derived AGEs and identify the minimal moiety recognized by RAGE. Among Gcer and Gcol-derived AGEs, GLAP (glyceraldehyde-derived pyridinium) and GA-pyridine elicited toxicity in PC12 neuronal cells. The toxic effects of GLAP and GA-pyridine were suppressed in the presence of anti-RAGE antibody or the soluble form of RAGE protein. Furthermore, the cytotoxicity test using GLAP analog compounds indicated that the 3-hydroxypyridinium (3-HP) structure is sufficient for RAGE-dependent toxicity. Surface plasmon resonance analysis showed that 3-HP derivatives directly interact with RAGE. These results indicate that GLAP and GA-pyridine are RAGE-binding epitopes, and that 3-HP, a common moiety of GLAP and GA-pyridine, is essential for the interaction with RAGE. GLAP and GA-pyridine are RAGE-binding AGEs, and the 3-hydroxypyridinium moiety is sufficient for the interaction with RAGE.

description: To accelerate the path towards 5th generation wireless systems, high performance antennas are playing an important role as the interface between the external environment and radio systems. They are required to provide efficient wireless communication of high-speed data, high definition video, cloud applications and so on by future wireless smart devices. There are two sections in this project. The first section is the design, simulation, optimisation and fabrication of a low-cost quasi-Yagi antenna, which can operate at 60GHz wireless band. The second section is doing the basic wireless link performance measurement. Experiments will demonstrate the influence of transmitter power level, antenna gain and transmission distance on received power in 60GHz point-to-point wireless transmission. Furthermore, measurement results analysis will prove that high-gain electromagnetic bandgap resonator antennas (ERA) can improve wireless communication efficiency.

description: Figure S5. Transfection of CDC42-DN (CDC42T17N) or CDC42-CA (CDC42Q61L) lentivirus constructs disrupts the activation of primordial follicle through regulating PI3K signaling in neonatal ovaries. (a) The ovaries at 1 dpp were transfected with empty lentivirus, lentiviral construct expressing CDC42-DN or CDC42-CA for 2 days in vitro. Green fluorescence from the GFP reporter was observed in ovaries following 2 days of lentiviral infection indicating a satisfactory efficiency of lentivirus transfection. (b) Oocyte counting results showed a comparable number of total oocytes in control, CDC42-DN, and CDC42-CA ovaries after 6 days of treatment. (c and d) Transfection of CDC42-DN and CDC42-CA affected the activity of PI3K signaling in ovaries. CDC42-DN weakened the nucleus-cytoplasm shuttle of FOXO3a (green fluorescence) in the oocytes, whereas CDC42-CA increased the cytoplasmic localization of FOXO3a in transfected ovaries. Oocytes were stained with DDX4 (red). Nuclei were dyed with a Hoechst counter-stain (blue) (c). Immunoblotting results showed that the phosphorylation of FOXO3a and AKT was decreased in CDC42-DN ovaries but increased in CDC42-CA ovaries. Levels of total FOXO3a, AKT, and β-actin were used as internal controls (d). The experiments were repeated at least three times, and representative images are shown. Scale bars, 50 μm. (PDF 842 kb)

description: The Peccei-Quinn symmetry is an automatic symmetry of the 3-3-1 gauge models which, consequently are not plagued with the strong CP problem. Nevertheless, the axion that emerges from spontaneous breaking of Peccei-Quinn symmetry cannot be made invisible in the original versions of these models, unless we extend their scalar sector by an additional neutral scalar singlet. In this case we show that if, we also add heavy neutrinos in the singlet form, we get to solve three interesting open questions at once: the real component of the neutral scalar singlet driving inflation, the axion playing the role of the dark matter of the universe and standard neutrinos gaining masses through seesaw mechanism.
