description: In January 2010, a magnitude 7.0 earthquake tore through the area surrounding Haiti’s capital of Port-au-Prince, destroying much of the city’s already fragile infrastructure. Over 222,570 people were killed and 300,572 injured. An additional 2.3 million—almost a quarter of the population— were displaced and now live in roughly 1,300 internally displaced person (IDP) camps.The camps are constructed mostly of tarpaulins, have limited public shower and toilet facilities, and lack adequate lighting and sanitation. These living conditions exacerbate the already high risks of sexual violence in Haiti. As sexual violence is severely underreported, no official statistics exist for the levels of rape in IDP camps in Haiti. However, there is evidence that sexual violence is rampant. In fact, a University of Michigan study estimates that 3% of the female Haitian population in IDP camps has experienced sexual violence since the earthquake. Although $5.5 billion have been pledged to rebuild Haiti in the months following the earthquake, aid absorption is low and disbursement is slow. In fact, the few Haitian groups that are working to address sexual violence have received little to no funding in the last ten months. This paper is a response to the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti’s (MINUSTAH) decision in September 2010 to launch a campaign to eliminate sexual violence in Haitian IDP camps. In order to successfully carry out a campaign to end sexual violence, MINUSTAH must involve local Haitian women and non-government organizations (NGOs) in all phases of planning and implementation. In doing so, MINUSTAH should provide practical training programs to women and men living in the IDP camps and assist them to form autonomous security brigades in order to protect women and prevent sexual violence.

description: Despite the prevalence of mental health concerns among those who live in residential aged care, many residential aged care facilities (RACFs) provide little by way of psychological support. Drawing on qualitative data obtained from interviews with residents from across 15 RACFs in Victoria, Australia, this article adds to understandings about the diversity and impact of mental health challenges experienced by residents, and gaps in the knowledge of staff about how to address such. Thus, it also offers evidence of the urgent need for RACFs to provide residents both better access to specialist mental health practitioners and training to care staff on mental health issues.

description: HLA-A*11:01 is one of the most prevalent human leukocyte antigens (HLAs), especially in East Asian and Oceanian populations. It is also highly expressed in Indigenous people who are at high risk of severe influenza disease. As CD8+ T cells can provide broadly cross-reactive immunity to distinct influenza strains and subtypes, including influenza A, B and C viruses, understanding CD8+ T cell immunity to influenza viruses across prominent HLA types is needed to rationally design a universal influenza vaccine and generate protective immunity especially for high-risk populations. As only a handful of HLA-A*11:01-restricted CD8+ T cell epitopes have been described for influenza A viruses (IAVs) and epitopes for influenza B viruses (IBVs) were still unknown, we embarked on an epitope discovery study to define a CD8+ T cell landscape for HLA-A*11:01-expressing Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australian people. Using mass-spectrometry, we identified IAV- and IBV-derived peptides presented by HLA-A*11:01 during infection. 79 IAV and 57 IBV peptides were subsequently screened for immunogenicity in vitro with peripheral blood mononuclear cells from HLA-A*11:01-expressing Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australian donors. CD8+ T cell immunogenicity screening revealed two immunogenic IAV epitopes (A11/PB2320-331 and A11/PB2323-331) and the first HLA-A*11:01-restricted IBV epitopes (A11/M41-49, A11/ NS1186-195 and A11/NP511-520). The immunogenic IAV- and IBV-derived peptides were >90% conserved among their respective influenza viruses. Identification of novel immunogenic HLA-A*11:01-restricted CD8+ T cell epitopes has implications for understanding how CD8+ T cell immunity is generated towards IAVs and IBVs. These findings can inform the development of rationally designed, broadly cross-reactive influenza vaccines to ensure protection from severe influenza disease in HLA-A*11:01-expressing individuals.

Subjects: subject: Bandleader
subject: Group language
subject: Improvisation

subject: Ensemble

description: This thesis uses the concept of group language to examine the bandleader’s role in creating the sound world of an ensemble in jazz and improvised music. It contributes to existing scholarship on jazz and improvisation, as well as to literature around leadership in jazz and wider leadership theory to create a deeper understanding of the role of the bandleader. Methodologically, the project combines the qualitative analysis of original interview data, with creative practice research methods. Anthropods – an ensemble in its own right – was established to run concurrently within and alongside the term of the doctoral project, enabling enquiry into the creation of the group’s sound world and the bandleader’s role from the very start through a four-year history. A body of creative musical practice was generated systematically through the author’s own practice-led enquiry on the development of group language within Anthropods. This original new body of creative output is presented as a combination of recordings, films, and scores as an integral part of this PhD submission. The material output of the portfolio exemplifies systematic, creative scrutiny of the process of the ensemble’s emergent group language, including reflection on the role of the bandleader. Alongside this longitudinal creative practice, ten semi-structured interviews were conducted with leading bandleaders. These were analysed through Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis to reveal how individual interviewees’ approaches to bandleading enable them to generate trust and to develop deep understanding of a band’s improvising language. Findings from the IPA interview study were integrated into the longitudinal creative practice with Anthropods, providing further insights into leaders’ relationships with their group’s language development, and strategies used by bandleaders of groups with mature shared musical group language. By connecting the emergent understanding of each bandleader’s approach with their musical output, this thesis illustrates how bandleaders’ working practices connect to their desired output, underlining how the bandleader’s main role relates to the development of the ensemble’s group language. It also highlights how bandleaders refine a personal, authentic approach to create the clarity and trust required in a successful improvising ensemble.

description: Phenolic compounds are commonly used for diverse applications such as in pharmaceuticals, chemicals, rubber, dyes and pigments. The objective of present research was to study the impact of Mr. Trivedi’s biofield treatment on physical and thermal properties of phenol derivatives such as o-nitrophenol (ONP), m-nitrophenol (MNP) and p-tertiary butyl phenol (TBP). The study was performed in two groups (control and treated). The control and treated compounds were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and surface area analysis. XRD analysis showed increase in crystallite size by 16.05% in treated ONP as compared to control. However, the treated MNP showed decrease in crystallite size by 16.17% as compared to control. The treated TBP showed increase in crystallite size by 5.20% as compared to control. DSC of treated MNP exhibited increase in melting temperature with respect to control, which may be correlated to higher thermal stability of treated sample. However, the treated TBP exhibited no significant change in melting temperature with respect to control. TGA analysis of treated ONP and TBP showed an increase in maximum thermal decomposition temperature (Tmax) as compared to control. However, the treated MNP showed slight decrease in Tmax in comparison with control sample. Surface area analysis of treated ONP showed decrease in surface area by 65.5%. However, surface area was increased by 40.7% in treated MNP as compared to control. These results suggest that biofield treatment has significant effect on physical and thermal properties of ONP, MNP and TBP.

description: BACKGROUND: The RUBY randomised controlled trial was found to be effective in promoting breastfeeding continuation, in the setting of a high income country, through a program of proactive telephone-based peer support in the first 6 months postpartum. This paper explores women's experiences of receiving the peer support intervention in the RUBY trial. METHODS: Ten in-depth, face-to-face interviews were conducted between December 2015 and November 2016 in Metropolitan Melbourne, and regional Victoria, Australia. Participants were women who received the peer support intervention in the RUBY trial and were between 11 and 15 months postpartum at the time of interview. Interviews were underpinned by social support theories and were analysed using inductive thematic analysis. RESULTS: A global theme of 'non-judgemental support and guidance' was identified, which included five organising themes. Four of the organising themes centred on the support from the peer, in which women felt the support was a 'positive experience with empathy and understanding', 'non-judgemental', 'practical advice', and a 'social connection that was more than just breastfeeding'. In contrast to the support from peers was the theme 'not all support from family and friends is supportive'. CONCLUSION: Participants, including those who considered that they had adequate and available family and friend support for breastfeeding, valued and appreciated the non-judgemental, empathetic and understanding support from peers. This support, facilitated by the anonymity of the telephone-based program, allowed open and honest conversations, normalising women's experiences and helping them feel less alone in their challenges with breastfeeding and transition to motherhood. These findings can inform the design, and upscaling, of innovative and sustainable peer support models, ensuring delivery of effective and engaging support with a broad population reach.
title: Understanding Crash and Non-driving Related Task Engagement Patterns of At-risk Drivers: A Comparison of Non-driving Related Task Clusters and an Analysis of Naturalistic Driving

description: There are nearly 35,000 fatal automobile crashes in the US each year. The two most vulnerable road user groups, based on fatality rates per mile driven, are younger drivers, age 16-24, and older drivers, age 65 and up. Understanding the similarities and differences in driving behaviors between these two groups can inform crash mitigation strategies. For this dissertation, which included 3 studies, the Second Strategic Highway Research Project (SHRP2) Naturalistic Driving Study (NDS) was utilized to analyze naturalistic driving behavior to better understand crash patterns and non-driving task engagement patterns for these age groups, as well as for middle-age drivers. The SHRP2 NDS classified over 40 specific non-driving related (NDR) tasks, many of which differ in how they distract drivers. To better understand the patterns of engagement for these NDR tasks these tasks were categorized into larger groups or clusters. How those groupings impacted driver distraction, crash severity, and crash likelihood were then analyzed. In Study One, two approaches to categorizing NDR tasks based on Multiple Resource Theory (MRT;Wickens 1980) were compared. The first divided tasks based on perceptual modality and processing code (visual tasks only). The second approach divided tasks solely via perceptual modality. A significant main effect on distraction was found for age under both scenarios, with small effect sizes. However, no significant effect was found for either of the MRT classification methods on distraction. The same interaction between age and MRT task types was also not significant. Study Two involved categorizing NDR tasks using a data-driven method of classifying NDR tasks based on naturalistic driving data. The relationships between age and these new classifications, were found to be significant. Study Three compared the NDR task grouping methods from Study One and Study Two. Two logistic regressions were run analyzing the effect of age, maneuver judgement, gender, and NDR task engagement, on crash likelihood. The methods of NDR task grouping from the previous studies were used for the regressions. Residuals for both were compared to find the best model for grouping types of NDR tasks, which was found to be the MRT model, but with minimal model fit. Overall these findings show that by investigating new classifications of NDR tasks, previously unseen relationships between NDR tasks, age, and other crash risk factors can be found which may help to reduce the crash rates of at risk driving populations like teen and older drivers.

description: Objective: To identify factors that health and allied health practitioners consider central to excellence in residential aged care facilities (RACFs) with the objective of supporting improvements in monitoring, accountability and service delivery within the sector. Methods: In a qualitative, exploratory designed study, interviews were undertaken with seventeen participants from 10 health and allied health disciplines (general practice, dentistry, pharmacy, psychiatry, psychology, neuropsychology, physiotherapy, speech pathology, occupational therapy and palliative care) with experience of working in Victorian RACFs. The interviews focused on how practitioners perceived excellence within RACFs. Data were analysed thematically. Results: Thematic analysis yielded five themes, which correspond with different dimensions or ways of understanding excellence, including resident well-being, residences as a true home, good practice models, effective management and skilled staff, and unmet needs. Under each of these themes, participants referred to issues closely related to the concerns of their particular professions as well as those more general in nature. Conclusions: The diversity in issues to which participants drew attention highlights the importance of obtaining the perspectives of a broad range of practitioners providing services to RACF residents to achieving excellence in the sector. Commonalities in their responses indicate the potential for a greater level of collaboration among the health and allied health professions.

description: This thesis investigates the origin and nature of diffuse ionized gas (DIG) in the Milky Way and other similar galaxies. I have been developing the 3D radiation-hydrodynamics code, CMacIonize, to include the effect of supernova feedback, an IMF based star formation algorithm, non-equilibrium heating and cooling, and a time-dependent calculation of ionization state. The time-dependent ionization calculation was found to be crucial in reliably simulating the high altitude DIG, with recombination timescales in the low-density gas often exceeding 10~Myr, longer than the time variability of the available ionizing luminosity. The time-dependent ionization state calculations are extended to include various ionized species of helium, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, neon and sulphur, necessary for simulating collisionally excited emission from the DIG. Synthetic observations of edge on emission line ratios are found to match well to high-altitude observations from Milky Way analogue NGC 891, and inspire novel explanations for hardened line ratios which don't rely on secondary populations of spectrally hard sources. I perform static photoionization simulations through observationally derived 3D density structures using known O stars as the source of ionizing luminosity. I generate a synthetic Hα sky including the effects of dust scattering and absorption. The synthetic sky bears excellent morphological resemblance to the observed Hα sky from surveys such as the Wisconsin H-Alpha Mapper (WHAM). Synthetic skies of other optical and infrared lines are also generated, standing as predictions for future all-sky spectroscopic surveys. Using zoom-in radiation-hydrodynamics simulations, I investigate the effects of the missing temporal dimension in the static simulations. The static simulations assume ionization equilibrium and do not include the effects of supernova feedback. It is found that the equilibrium assumption is likely reliable for this region of higher density material close to the midplane, however some notable effects of supernova feedback are highlighted in the full time-dependent simulations.

description: Objective: This study examined older lesbian and gay adults' experiences regarding informal caregiving, including challenges and positive aspects of caregiving. Methods: Interviews were conducted with 16 lesbian women and gay men in Australia, aged 60+, who were engaged in informal caregiving. Analyses involved a qualitative thematic approach. Results: Most participants were caring for a friend or partner and regarded caregiving as a form of love and did not seek external support despite noting several impacts. Some participants found that they too were beginning to require care. For some, formal care was being considered, but with a degree of reluctance. Conclusions: Older lesbian and gay adult caregivers experience a range of challenges and support needs in relation to their experiences with the caregiving role. This research highlights a need for ensuring that caregiving policies and practices be responsive to the experiences and challenges faced by older lesbian and gay people.

description: This research explored women’s lived experiences of societal enforcement of motherhood through mechanisms of surveillance and judgement. Using a descriptive qualitative phenomenological design, 24 Australian women were interviewed about their lived experiences as women within society. Thematic analysis revealed five themes: women’s enforcement of hegemonic gender; the enforcement of motherhood in public and private spaces; labelling to control women; the gendered nature of social control; and the impacts of enforcement of motherhood. Overall, this study’s findings draw attention to how the surveillance, and subsequent judgement, of women within society plays an important role in maintaining the unrealistic expectations placed on women to become mothers and adhere to the ideology of good motherhood. Competition, surveillance and judgement are central to keeping women subordinate and distracting them from the ways in which structures of hegemonic gender function to oppress them within society. If freed from the constraints of hegemonic gender, mothering could be a site of equality where power is shared between parents rather than a site for continued oppression.

The ‘virtual ED’ utilises a telehealth model as a means of assessment for appropriately selected patients to facilitate either complete care or navigation into streamlined pathways for ongoing care, in some cases bypassing the ED entirely where appropriate. The proposed study aims to evaluate the implementation of the model and identify future improvement opportunities, assess the impact on traditional health service delivery processes and patient experience, and determine the acceptability of the ‘virtual ED’ model of care. Methods: The present study will consist of a pre-post- implementation evaluation using the RE-AIM framework. Routine health service data will be collected for 6 months post-implementation of the virtual ED model and compared to 24 months prior to implementation. Prospective data will be collected using routinely collected and survey data. Interviews and focus groups will be conducted to understand consumer and clinician perspectives on barriers and enablers to implementation and adoption of the virtual ED. Results: Descriptive statistics will be used to describe the study population and key outcomes, including changes in ED presentations and length of stay. Thematic analysis will be conducted on transcribed interviews and focus group data. This will be triangulated with data collected from patient feedback surveys. Conclusion: This project will support the delivery of care to ED patients by evaluating the ‘virtual ED’ model of care.

description: The aim of this observational study was to determine if on-court activity and match statistics differed between periods of scoring streaks and regular play in basketball. Thirty-seven basketballers including professional women, semi-professional women and semi-professional men wore accelerometers during competitive matches throughout a season. Accelerometry-derived live-time individual on-court exercise intensity and team game-related statistics were compared between scoring streaks (periods of play where the teams participating in the study scored at least three times in a row), streaks against (periods of play where the opposition teams scored at least three times in a row) and regular play. Few differences existed in the average exercise intensity between streak types. During streaks against, there was a 5–15% lower proportion of 2-point attempts, 0.8–1.3 fewer defensive rebounds per minute and 0.3–1.6 fewer shot attempts per minute compared to regular play and scoring streaks, and there were 0.3 fewer offensive rebounds per minute compared to regular play. During scoring streaks, there were 0.5 more defensive rebounds per minute, 1.3 more shot attempts per minute, a 43% greater shooting percentage and a 10% lower proportion of 3-point attempts compared to regular play. To reduce the chances of streaks against, teams should focus on facilitating 2-point shot attempts and consider implementing a 3:1 ratio of 2-point to 3-point attempts to maximize scoring success, and they should focus on winning rebounds to facilitate more shot attempts.

description: Parkinson’s disease is the second largest neurodegenerative disease worldwide and is caused by a combination of genetics and environment. It is characterized by the death of neurons in the substantia nigra of the brain but is not solely a disease of the brain, as it affects multiple tissues and organs. Studying Parkinson’s disease in accessible tissues such as skin and blood has increased our understanding of the disease’s pathogenesis. Here, we used lymphoblast cell lines generated from Parkinson’s disease patient and healthy age-and sex-matched control groups and obtained their whole-cell transcriptomes and proteomes. Our analysis revealed, in both the transcriptomes and the proteomes of PD cells, a global downregulation of genes involved in protein synthesis, as well as the upregulation of immune processes and sphingolipid metabolism. In contrast, we discovered an uncoupling of mRNA and protein expression in processes associated with mitochondrial respiration in the form of a general downregulation in associated transcripts and an upregulation in proteins. Complex V was different to the other oxidative phosphorylation complexes in that the levels of its associated transcripts were also lower, but the levels of their encoded polypeptides were not elevated. This may suggest that further layers of regulation specific to Complex V are in play.

description: Atherosclerosis is a major cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. Left undiagnosed and untreated, atherosclerotic plaques can rupture and cause cardiovascular complications such as myocardial infarction and stroke. Atherosclerotic plaques are composed of lipids, including oxidized low-density lipoproteins and cholesterol crystals, and immune cells, including macrophages. 2-Hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin (CD) is FDA-approved for capturing, solubilizing, and delivering lipophilic drugs in humans. It is also known to dissolve cholesterol crystals and decrease atherosclerotic plaque size. However, its low retention time necessitates high dosages for successful therapy. This study reports CD delivery via air-trapped polybutylcyanoacrylate nanoparticles (with diameters of 388 ± 34 nm) loaded with CD (CDNPs). The multimodal contrast ability of these nanoparticles after being loaded with IR780 dye in mice is demonstrated using ultrasound and near-infrared imaging. It is shown that CDNPs enhance the cellular uptake of CD in murine cells. In an ApoE–/– mouse model of atherosclerosis, treatment with CDNPs significantly improves the anti-atherosclerotic efficacy of CD. Ultrasound triggering further improves CD uptake, highlighting that CDNPs can be used for ultrasound imaging and ultrasound-responsive CD delivery. Thus, CDNPs represent a theranostic nanocarrier for potential application in patients with atherosclerosis.
