description: The choice relation framework (CHOC'LATE) provides a systematic skeleton for constructing test cases from specifications. An early stage of the framework is to identify a set of categories and choices from the specification, which is not a trivial task when this document is largely informal and complex. Despite the difficulty, the identification task is very important because the quality of the identified categories and choices will affect the comprehensiveness of the test cases and, hence, the chance of revealing software faults. This paper alleviates the problem by introducing a technique for identifying categories and choices from the activity diagrams in the specification. This technique also helps determine the relations between some pair of choices in the choice relation table - an essential step of CHOC'LATE for the subsequent generation of test cases.
Practice led research: creative activity, academic debate, and intellectual rigour

description: By focussing on PhD supervision as well as creativity, this paper explores how the artefact and exegesis PhD offers an opportunity to bring creative activity together with academic debate and intellectual rigour. In this context, the latter does not justify the former nor interpret it in an academic and theoretical way. Rather, acting together, the artefact and exegesis bridge the Cartesian binary, offer new models of knowledge to the academy, and enrich the artistic practices of the practitioners themselves. The creative practitioner thus brings to the academy new dimensions of what knowledge itself consists of and how this contributes to learning. Because this disputes the regular academic templates, it challenges the academy itself. The methodology I employ in this paper is one of narrativity that I call the ‘subjective academic narrative’, it practices the theory of academic knowledge as personal and draws together the Cartesian binary of the personal and the intellectual.

description: Psittaculidae Charmosyna palmarum (Gmelin, 1788), Palm Lorikeet: Figure 2E The Palm Lorikeet is endemic to Vanuatu and Temotu Province, Solomon Islands. We recorded this species only on Gaua Island, where it was fairly common. We noted it flying through camp daily and we observed small flocks (2–6 birds) foraging in a flowering palm near camp. Only 2 lorikeet species are known from Vanuatu: Charmosyna palmarum and Rainbow Lorikeet (Trichoglossus haematodus). The Charmosyna is easily identified by its smaller size and entirely green plumage, which makes it unmistakable from the sympatric and multicolored T. haematodus. Furthermore, its vocalizations are higherpitched and less full-bodied compared to, which made them readily identifiable by voice. Palm Lorikeet is a nomadic species that undergoes population fluctuations (Medway and Marshall 1975, Bregulla 1992). Apparently, it is now most regularly seen in the Banks Group (Dutson 2011), which fits the pattern of our only sightings on Gaua. Its IUCN status is Vulnerable. Four specimens exhibited light body molt, heavy fat loads, and stomach contents of flower parts. Trichoglossus haematodus massena (Linnaeus, 1771), Rainbow Lorikeet

description: Our paper analyses the importance of the skill intensity of occupations as a key driver of economic development in regions. To this end, it uses the Occupational Information Network (O*NET) to evaluate and examine skill intensity for the Melbourne Statistical Division (MSD) and the Outer East of Melbourne (OEM). It analyses employment change in the region and uses hierarchical regression in order to determine and identify which sets of skills provide a larger economic premium in the labour market. The paper concludes that different skill levels contribute to earnings differences to some extent in both cases, although to a much lesser extent in the OEM.

description: Documentation of research data across the research data lifecycle requires metadata at several stages. The DDI metadata standard provides several products across the data lifecycle to facilitate the capture and use of structured metadata. DDI products allow for both human- and machine-interactions with the documentation. They include DDI-Codebook for entry-level cataloguing; DDI-Lifecycle and Controlled Vocabularies for reusability and more sophisticated descriptions of surveys, questions and instruments; the XKOS extension to the Simple Knowledge Organization System for rich conceptual metadata; and the Structured Data Transformation Language (SDTL) for provenance. In addition, DDI-Cross Domain Integration (DDI-CDI) is a leading-edge product intended to fill the emerging need for integration of data from different disciplinary domains such as health or environmental sciences. The poster will show how the DDI products work together and contribute to researcher’s needs for high quality documentation and data and metadata re-use.

description: This work aims to study molecular mechanisms involved in the formation of DNA-containing microparticles and nanoparticles during PCR. Both pyrophosphate and Mg2+ ions proved to play an important role in the generation of DNA microparticles (MPs) with a unique and sophisticated structure in PCR with Taq polymerase. Thus, the addition of Tli thermostable pyrophosphatase to a PCR mixture inhibited this process and caused the destruction of synthesized DNA MPs. Thermal cycling of Na-pyrophosphate (Na-PPi)- and Mg2+-containing mixtures (without DNA polymerase and dNTPs) under the standard PCR regime yielded crystalline oval or lenticular microdisks and 3D MPs composed from magnesium pyrophosphate (Mg-PPi). As shown by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), the produced Mg-PPi microparticles consisted of intersecting disks or their segments. They were morphologically similar but simpler than DNA-containing MPs generated in PCR. The incorporation of dNTPs, primers, or dsDNA into Mg-pyrophosphate particles resulted in the structural diversification of 3D microparticles. Thus, the unusual and complex structure of DNA MPs generated in PCR is governed by the unique feature of Mg-pyrophosphate to form supramolecular particles during thermal cycling. We hypothesize the Mg-pyrophosphate particles that are produced during thermal cycling serve as scaffolds for amplicon DNA condensation.

description: Volunteering in higher education institutions plays a pivotal role in fostering students' values, character development, and active engagement in societal progress. Shenzhen, as the pioneer city in China to establish a "City of Volunteers" in 2011, initiated the concept of "Volunteer Campuses" within local institutions. Through effective institutional oversight, brand development, and infrastructure enhancement, universities have integrated volunteer service into their campus culture, profoundly impacting young minds and contributing to the cultivation of a culture of volunteerism and character development. Engaging in volunteer activities within higher education institutions has a profound impact on students' principles and worldviews. Firstly, it instills a sense of social responsibility and dedication in students, as they directly witness society's challenges and difficulties. This firsthand experience fosters empathy and compassion towards marginalized communities, motivating students to reflect on issues of social justice and equity, thereby nurturing their willingness to actively assume societal responsibilities. Secondly, volunteer service provides students with a practical platform to translate their principles and beliefs into tangible actions. Theoretical knowledge acquired in the classroom gains real-world application through experiential learning. By actively participating in volunteer service initiatives, students have the opportunity to implement their principles and convictions in concrete ways, fostering a deepened sense of commitment and accomplishment derived from serving others

description: Hypertension (HTN) is a chronic disease that has become a growing public health problem in countries around the world, including Pakistan. Successful HTN control is an essential cornerstone in the prevention of morbidity and mortality associated with uncontrolled HTN. However, patients’ beliefs about their disease, treatment and control are related to the outcome of successful HTN control and management. Likewise, doctors’ understanding of HTN and its treatment is equally important and can affect their practice and HTN management. There is little qualitative research considering patients’ and doctors’ understanding of HTN, its treatment and how it influences HTN management in Pakistan. Therefore, the current study aimed to elicit patients’ and doctors’ perceptions, attitudes and beliefs about HTN and its treatment in urban areas of Pakistan. A qualitative study that drew on grounded theory principles was undertaken in two public hospitals of Pakistan. Thirty in-depth semi-structured interviews with hypertensive patients and thirty interviews with doctors were conducted in two hospitals. Interviews were translated and transcribed from Urdu into English and NVivo was used to organise the data in a systematic way. Data were analysed using a constant comparative approach based on the principles of grounded theory. The study revealed that patients’ (n=30) beliefs were complex, deep-rooted and influenced their attitude towards HTN treatment. Patients’ beliefs were informed by understanding gleaned from the socio-cultural environment (local norms, social relations, religion), individual factors (e.g. income, co-morbidities) and interactions with doctors. In contrast, doctors’ (n=30) own understandings on what constitutes successful HTN management often contradicted patients’ beliefs. Doctors’ reported that time restraints and work burden affected their approach to treatment and the provision of information to patients. Findings also revealed an overlap between patients’ and doctors’ beliefs, however, in relation to adopting lifestyle changes for management of HTN. In general, though doctors paid less consideration to patients’ beliefs in routine clinical practice and evaluated patients through the filter of their own beliefs. The findings suggest that doctors could provide a better service care by aligning with their patients on a common understanding about HTN management and providing culturally appropriate information. Doctors should be aware of the understanding hypertensive patients attach to HTN and avoid providing treatment based on their own beliefs. Doctors must engage with patients’ beliefs and identify their particular healthcare needs in order to achieve control of HTN in Pakistan.
What procedural and/or legal issues may prevent victims of domestic abuse from successfully obtaining an enforceable Family Court Order to protect them from future abuse?

description: This research was undertaken for Northumbria University and the Office for Northumbria Police and Crime Commissioner. Their main aims focus on improving the experience of domestic abuse survivors when using the Family Courts by gaining knowledge from stakeholders working closely with survivors to gain a perceptive of the barriers survivors face when obtaining Family Court Protection Orders (e.g. non-molestation and occupation orders). Further, we wished to understand how certain barriers limit survivors from seeking protection, when stakeholders encourage protection orders, and how they perceive what obstructions exist. We used qualitative research methods to obtain empirical data by conducting group interviews and thematically analysing the data collected. The results indicate there is a lack of understanding of coercive and controlling behaviour due to the lack of training some of the participants received. We also found there is a benefit in Court Liaison Officer’s being accessible to survivors both before and during proceedings and encourage their role within the Family Courts. Finally, the impact of cuts to legal aid and the strain this puts on other stakeholders working with domestic abuse victims is discussed in detail. Survivors will benefit from the research conducted by recognising the barriers they face and providing recommendations of how to improve the support they provide. This study can potentially impact the participants themselves, by encouraging an improvement of the advice and safeguarding they provide to survivors and increase awareness of the existing barriers within their field. The research is necessary to raise awareness of the problems with non-physical types of abuse that exist within a relationship, for example coercive and controlling behaviour. Furthermore, the research is necessary to raise awareness of the various victim characteristics and move away from the stigma attached to the notion of the stereotypical domestic abuse situation.

description: Qualitative research is fundamental to the social sciences but has historically sailed in the shadow of, and received less support than, quantitative research. In her pioneering study of the nascent state of qualitative supports in academic libraries, Swygart-Hobaugh (2016) even dubbed them the 'Jan Brady' of data services. As qualitative researchers, and leaders of research data services and social science support units at our respective libraries, we recognize this and believe our organizations are well positioned to support qualitative researchers throughout the research lifecycle.

This poster will showcase our experiences establishing new qualitative research support services at Temple University Libraries and the University of Pennsylvania Libraries. We will discuss how we developed or restarted our services, from initial benchmarking and internal exploration to service launch, team staffing, and evaluation.

Our two case studies demonstrate practical applications of suggestions made by past researchers, who have explored the visibility and accessibility of qualitative research support and the relationship between qualitative support, data literacy, and other research data services (Swygart-Hobaugh, 2016; Cain et al., 2019; Hagman & Bussell, 2022).

We encountered this species in pre-montane primary forest near our camps on Gaua and Vanua Lava Islands. It was easily identified as a Ducula imperial-pigeon based on its large size. The plum-colored breast, chestnut underparts, and dark-gray upperparts were field marks used to identify this species from Pacific Imperial-Pigeon Ducula pacifica. The latter taxon was only observed in lowlands on Gaua and Vanua Lava, whereas we only saw D. bakeri at higher elevations. Birds on Gaua were difficult to detect because they were either scarce or not vocalizing frequently. Conversely, birds on Vanua Lava were vocalizing, which made detection easier. Kratter et al. (2006) experienced similar ease of detection of vocalizing birds at about 600 m elevation on Santo. Its IUCN status is Vulnerable.

description: AbstractMucinous cholangiocarcinoma is an extremely rare form of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma that has been characterized by rapid growth, widespread metastasis and poor prognosis. These tumors have been shown to be a part of the Lynch syndrome tumor spectrum, however, the role of DNA mismatch repair (MMR) deficiency in their development is poorly understood. We present the case of a 74-year-old male with cholangiocarcinoma, who underwent Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy and extended left hepatectomy and was diagnosed with a primary small bowel adenocarcinoma 2 years later. Immunohistochemistry testing for mismatch repair proteins was significant for the loss of nuclear expression of PMS2. Taken together, the cause of both the mucinous cholangiocarcinoma and primary small bowel adenocarcinoma with PMS2 loss in the patient presented here is likely genetic, suggestive of a cancer syndrome.

description: Corporate sustainability reporting is currently perceived by company directors and senior staff as a process with a great strategic relevance. However, although sustainability is recognized as an integrating phenomenon and part of corporate life, it is in practice often treated in a one-dimensional manner. There is also a paucity of research specifically aimed at assessing sustainability report in the broad sense. The objectives of this article are therefore to analyse and evaluate reported information (indicators) based on the Global Reporting Initiative guidelines and to select and examine the most promising two-dimensional hybrid relations to enable the evaluation of company performance and its position towards practiced sustainability. The 2011 sustainability reports of 85 companies of different sizes and economic sectors from 36 countries were analysed. On the one hand, it became clear that companies focus their attention on ‘anchor’ indicators and, consequently, there is a low level of representativity in the number of integrations. Performance evaluation, on the other hand, has proved to be a useful process with the potential to trigger the implementation of prospective change. It is, therefore, important that decision-makers may consider including hybrid indicators in the preparation of regulations and guidelines.

description: Rhipiduridae Rhipidura verreauxi spilodera Marie, 1870, Streaked Fantail: Figure 3E Streaked Fantail was one of the most common and widespread understory forest birds we observed (Fig. 3E). It was the most frequently captured bird in mist nests on all 4 islands we surveyed. Indeed, it was common throughout and its IUCN status is Least Concern. It is a small, brownish passerine with a long, broadly fanned tail. Underparts are paler with bold, blurry streaking on the breast, separated by a white throat. Its face is black accented by white loral and post-ocular stripes. Its only congener in Vanuatu, Gray Fantail (R. albiscapa) has yellow underparts with a broad black breast band. These 2 species segregated by habitat preference: R. verreauxi was found exclusively in forest, whereas R. albiscapa was in forest edge, second growth, and villages. Streaked Fantail was a highly vocal component of the dawn chorus with its high-pitched, whistled song. Multiple male specimens throughout the survey had enlarged testes and seminal vesicles and females had convoluted oviducts; however, breeding evidence in specimens from Vanua Lava was less pronounced (e.g., smooth ovaries and straight oviducts in all females examined).

description: Two new and two previously reported Schiff base ligands as well as four corresponding new Cu(II) complexes (CuL1–4) were synthesized and characterized. The Schiff base ligands were synthesized from condensation of 5-bromo-2-hydroxy-3-nitrobenzaldehyde with aliphatic (H2L1–2) or aromatic (H2L3–4) diamines. Crystal structures of CuL2 and CuL3 were determined by X-ray crystallography. Antibacterial properties of these ligands and complexes were studied against four human pathogenic bacteria. The complexes showed moderate antibacterial activities, higher than those of the ligands.

description: Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) Schiff base complexes derived from 3-hydrazinoquionoxaline-2-one and 1,2-diphenylethane-1,2-dione were synthesized. The compounds were characterized by elemental analyses, molar conductance, magnetic susceptibility measurements, FTIR, UV–vis, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, ESR, and mass spectral studies. Thermal studies of the ligand and its metal complexes were also carried out to determine their thermal stability. Octahedral geometry has been assigned for Co(II), Ni(II), and Zn(II) complexes, while Cu(II) complex has distorted octahedral geometry. Powder XRD study was carried out to determine the grain size of ligand and its metal complexes. The electrochemical behavior of the synthesized compounds was investigated by cyclic voltammetry. For all complexes, a 2 : 1 ligand-to-metal ratio is observed. The ligand and its metal complexes were screened for their activity against bacterial species such as E. coli, P. aeruginosa, and S. aureus and fungal species such as A. niger, C. albicans, and A. flavus by disk diffusion method. The DNA-binding of the ligand and its metal complexes were investigated by electronic absorption titration and viscosity measurement studies. Agarose gel electrophoresis was employed to determine the DNA-cleavage activity of the synthesized compounds. Density functional theory was used to optimize the structure of the ligand and its Zn(II) complex.

description: Petroicidae Petroica multicolor Peale, 1848, Pacific Robin: Figure 4C, D The Pacific Robin is a widespread, polytypic taxon that occurs from the Solomon Islands to Samoa. It is easily identifiable based on its tiny size and generally black-and-red plumage with pale forehead and wing patch. Only Cardinal Myzomela (Myzomela cardinalis) is superficially similar in plumage, but M. cardinalis has a relatively long, decuved bill, whereas Pacific Robin has a much shorter, straight bill. Its IUCN status is Least Concern. Five subspecies occur in Vanuatu and we recorded 3 during our survey. Petroica multicolor feminina, so named because males have female-like plumage (Fig. 4C), is endemic to Éfaté; P. m. ambrynensis is widespread across central Vanuatu (Malakula and Gaua on our survey; Fig. 4D); and P. m. soror is endemic to Vanua Lava. We found Pacific Robins to be uncommon on Éfaté and Malakula and rare on Gaua and Vanua Lava. Individuals on Éfaté were vocal and specimens of males had enlarged gonads and seminal vesicles. A female on Gaua had 4 yolks (largest 4 mm). No specimens were molting and stomach contents were arthropods.

description: The product partition model (PPM) is a well-established efficient statistical method for detecting multiple change points in time-evolving univariate data. In this article, we refine the PPM for the purpose of detecting multiple change points in correlated multivariate time-evolving data. Our model detects distributional changes in both the mean and covariance structures of multivariate Gaussian data by exploiting a smaller dimensional representation of correlated multiple time series. The utility of the proposed method is demonstrated through experiments on simulated and real datasets.

description: Entre 45 000 et 8 000 BP, le versant nord pyrénéen fournit un cadre remarquable pour l’étude des populations de chasseurs-cueilleurs préhistoriques et les relations qu’elles entretiennent avec leur environnement. Ce milieu de montagne et de piémont, très diversifié, connait, durant cette période, des fluctuations climatiques qui entrainent des changements considérables dans les dynamiques d’évolution des débits des rivières et les dépôts sédimentaires qui leurs sont associés. Cet espace géographique constitue ainsi un cadre de vie changeant pour la faune et la végétation mais également pour les groupes  humains.

description: Coastal areas of Southeast Asia are progressively threatened by flooding as a consequence of more frequent precipitation extremes and rising sea levels. Especially urban areas are affected by flood risk which is additionally increased by surface subsidence related to building activities and groundwater extraction. However, the severity of subsidence as well as its triggers and environmental interrelations are only little understood. This study measures surface subsidence for Hue city by using persistent scatterer radar interferometry (PS-InSAR). A series of 53 images acquired by the Sentinel-1 radar satellite between 2018 and 2019 was analyzed to reliably retrieve surface changes at the millimeter scale. The overall displacement ranges between -25 and +10 millimeters per year. Its spatial distribution was then compared to the extent of different soil types in the study area to conduct an analysis of variance (ANOVA). The results confirmed a significant difference between the soil types with Plinthic Acrisols as the soil type having the largest negative average surface velocity. Possible triggers are the intrusion of slack water from the surrounding rice cultivation areas and construction activities which lead to increasing weight and soil compaction. The findings shall raise awareness for the topic and underline the demand for further research. Mưa lớn và nước biển dâng là những nguyên nhân gây lũ lụt ngày càng nghiêm trọng ở các khu vực ven biển Đông Nam Á. Đặc biệt việc gia tăng công trình xây dựng và khai thác nước ngầm gây sụt lún bề mặt dẫn đến ngập lụt ở các vùng đô thị. Tuy nhiên, các nghiên cứu về mối tương quan giữa sụt lún bề mặt với các hiện tượng môi trường chưa được chú trọng nhiều. Trong nghiên cứu này, độ lún bề mặt của thành phố Hue được đo bằng phương pháp giao thoa radar tán xạ liên tục (PS-InSAR). Phân tích 53 ảnh vệ tinh Sentinel-1 từ năm 2018-2019 cho thấy sự thay đổi tổng thể bề mặt dao động từ -25mm đến 10mm mỗi năm. Phân tích phương sai (ANOVA) cho thấy sự thay đổi bề mặt khác nhau tùy từng loại đất, trong đó đất đỏ vàng (Plinthic Acrisols) có tốc độ sụt lún trung bình cao nhất. Các tác nhân có thể là do sự xâm nhập của nước từ các vùng trồng lúa xung quanh và các hoạt động xây dựng dẫn đến tăng trọng lượng và nén đất. Những phát hiện này là cơ hội nâng cao nhận thức về sự sụt lún bề mặt và cần được nghiên cứu thêm.
