Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Universities in Australia have been operating offshore degree programs in Asia for more than a decade, and more recently have expanded to other parts of the world. The diverse locations at which these programs are offered requires uniformity and consistency in the programs with regard to, both course content, material delivery, assessment and support provision. Educators are aware that learning environments across overseas campuses and individual student learning needs can best be accommodated by the use of a range of teaching approaches and styles. This study investigates the offshore campus student perception of undergraduate marketing subject, in relation to support for learning. The study revealed that the majority of the offshore campus students need more support with their learning (65 percent), believe that more help should be available in tutorial sessions (85 percent) and yet, most believe that they would be able to access help with studies if needed (75 percent). Such results may be an indicator that teaching and learning environments should be more student and that support provision should not be structurally separate from the teaching and learning process
The film of the book: adaptation and the Australian cinema
Creators: name: McFarlane, Brian

description: When Michael Powell, one of the most flamboyantly 'cinematic' of British film directors, came to Australia in the 1960s, when local cinema was still in the doldrums, he made two films both based on novels: 'They're a Weird Mob' (1966) and 'Age of Consent' (1969). Powell famously didn't belong to the literary strand of British filmmaking (nor to the equally prestigious realist strand), but when confronted with a new country the films he chose to make came with novelistic antecedents.

description: People with complete tetraplegia have interrupted melatonin production and commonly report poor sleep. Whether the two are related is unclear. This pilot study investigated whether nightly supplementation of 3 mg melatonin would improve objective and subjective sleep in tetraplegia. Five participants with motor and sensory complete tetraplegia ingested 3 mg melatonin (capsule) two hours prior to usual sleep time for two weeks. Full portable sleep studies were conducted in participants' homes on the night before commencing melatonin supplementation (baseline) and on the last night of the supplementation period. Endogenous melatonin levels were determined by assaying saliva samples collected the night of (just prior to sleep) and morning after (upon awakening) each sleep study. Prior to each sleep study measures of state sleepiness and sleep behaviour were collected. The results showed that 3 mg of melatonin increased salivary melatonin from near zero levels at baseline in all but one participant. A delay in time to Rapid Eye Movement sleep, and an increase in stage 2 sleep were observed along with improved subjective sleep experience with a reduction in time to fall asleep, improved quality of sleep and fewer awakenings during the night reported. Daytime sleepiness increased however. A randomised, placebo controlled trial with a larger sample is required to further explore and confirm these findings.

description: This research paper aims to offer an innovative and comprehensive assessment of the impact of differentiation on EU governance. It addresses the organizational, constitutional and socio-political factors affecting differentiation and integration in the EU in order to assess the effectiveness, sustainability, accountability and legitimacy of differentiated arrangements within the EU and between the EU and participating third countries. The ultimate aim is to provide an overall appraisal of how much and what form of differentiation propels European integration forward – as a whole and for specific policy areas – and what kinds of differentiation should be avoided to prevent disintegration in the future. The empirical research shows that formal arrangements of differentiation are not only compatible with, but also conducive to a more effective, cohesive and democratic Union when they have a direct link to EU institutions, are established with clear objectives in line with EU core values, and are equipped with adequate mechanisms to ensure accountability and to connect ins and outs. On the contrary, excessive flexibility entailed in looser forms of differentiated cooperation that are established outside the EU Treaties are likely to produce fragmentation dynamics and ultimately jeopardise the EU’s political unity and normative consistency.

description: The mobile communication system revolutionized the way people communicate, entertain, doing their business and educate. This results in the need and demand for mobile and Internet users to increasing every day. Ethio telecom is a discoverer market in Eastern Africa with 66.8 million mobile connections as of August 2018. According to Growth and Transformation Plan 2 (GTP2) of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia (FDRE), the total mobile subscriber is expected to reach 103 million and the mobile broadband share will be estimated to 35 million subscribers by 2020. Based on the company marketing report, 85.9% of the revenue is generating from mobile services. GPRS Tunneling Protocol (GTP) is the pivotal protocol used in Long Term Evolution (LTE) to assign the Internet Protocol (IP) addresses to mobile terminals and manages the data communication path in a mobile data network. IP spoofing attack is one of the most significant attacks in the IP based communication system and it is used as a stepping stone for most of the attacks. Ethio telecom deployed LTE since 2014, in 2018 there were 300,000 subscribers. This technology is starting to attract the intention of users as well as the company and it is expected to be the next mobile communication technology. Dong W. Kang et al. conducted a detection approach of IP spoofing attacks in a 3G network and several studies are conducted in machine learning-based network anomalies detection methodologies. However, to the best of researches knowledge, there is no specific research that is conducted on machine learning-based IP spoofing attack detection on the LTE network. This study analyzes a machine learning-based IP spoofing attack detection system. Three supervised machinelearning classifiers namely: Logistic Regression (LR), K- Nearest Neighbor (KNN) and Gaussian Nave Bayes (GNB) are evaluated.The evaluation is based on best-suited metrics such as; sensitivity, specificity, precision, False Positive Rate (FPR) and computational time rather than stick on generic metrics like accuracy. Even though GNB scores the heights sensitivity of 99.93%, considering the other metrics KNN is reasonably considered as the best classifier with a sensitivity of 99.89%, a specificity of 99.96%, precision of 99.93%, FPR of 0.03% and accuracy of 99.94%. However, in most cases of a real situation, KNN is not preferred for practical implementation, since KNN is computationally intensive. As a result, considering computational time metrics as key metric for practical implementation, LR is reasonably recommended as the best classifier with a sensitivity of 99.82%, specificity of 87.56%, precision of 79.87%, FPR of 12.43%, accuracy of 91.62%, training and testing time of 0.506sec and 0.005sec respectively.

description: Mitochondrial membrane protein-associated neurodegeneration (MPAN) is a rare neurological disease with childhood or adult onset. It is a subtype of clinically and genetically heterogeneous group of disorders, collectively known as neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation . MPAN is generally associated with biallelic pathogenic variants in C19orf12. Herein, we describe genetic and clinical findings of two MPAN cases from Turkey. In the first case, we have identified the relatively common pathogenic variant of C19orf12 in the homozygous state, which causes late-onset MPAN. The second case was homozygous for an essential splice-site variation.
Bacteria as ink for surface patterning on agar

Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Education
subject: Microbiology
subject: FOS: Biological sciences

description: Bacterial cells grow and reproduce rapidly when placed on rich medium, resulting in the generation of colonies with defined shape, size and color. Size of bacterial colony is naturally dependent on duration of growth and thus numbers of cells generated. On the other hand, capability of moving on agar surface in a collective manner, termed swarming motility, would necessarily serve as an impediment to the formation of well defined spatially resolved patterns useful for inquiring the importance of distance mediated processes such as cell to cell signaling and metabolic exchanges between isolated microbial communities. Such understanding would help lend a lens to the inner division of labor in biofilms as well as provide the design principles for the emerging area of synthetic microbial community, which has useful applications in biotechnology and environmental remediation. Specifically, disparate species of microbes with differing utility could be assembled into a collective functional whole capable of spatially defined division of labor, while keeping harmony between microbes at the aggregate level. Hence, using the multiplication of cell numbers and secretion of a color pigment to give form and color contrast to a pattern, a spread plate inoculation technique was explored as a method for coarse patterning of microbial cells on agar. Success of the “Bacterial calligraphy” technique where the inoculation loop and bacterial cells served as “pen” and “ink,” respectively, hinged on the motility mode of the bacterium, as well as color intensity and diffusivity of the secreted pigment. Specifically, poor pattern reproduction would result from bacterial species capable of swarming motility (i.e., coordinated movement of cells away from the point of deposition) or pigments that diffuse into the surrounding agar. Collectively, utilizing bacterial cell growth and pigment secretion for conferring form to desired patterns, a simple and low cost manual surface patterning technique was shown to be useful for inscribing both straight and curvilinear lines on agar, which, in addition to the fun activity of calligraphy, also holds potential for preliminary testing of methodological concepts in research.

DNA transfer as a driver of eukaryote genome evolution
Creators: name: Van Etten, Julia

description: As molecular and sequencing technologies have advanced, many of the biological phenomena we consider to be canonical have become more circumspect, riddled with stipulations, qualifications, exceptions, and often, a broader context. One such process is horizontal genetic transfer (HGT), or the acquisition of foreign DNA by a genome within a generation. This process was traditionally thought to be unique to the prokaryotic domains of life (Bacteria, Archaea) where it is common. However, it is now widely accepted that HGT is a significant mechanism for driving genetic variation, adaptation, and evolution in eukaryotes as well. Conspicuous cases of adaptive (often ancient) HGT identified in genomes of, typically model organisms, have established the study of eukaryotic HGT as a worthy pursuit due to the striking and relatively instantaneous functional innovations conferred by protein-coding genes that have persisted within genomes and outlasted selective pressures. Yet, further investigation must be made into properties underpinning this process, such as frequency, HGT diversity (i.e., coding vs. non-coding), transfer mechanisms, and ecological drivers. Furthermore, these principles must be investigated in non-model systems to elucidate the true scope of this process within the eukaryotic domain. Through the work in this dissertation, I address these important topics. First, I evaluate the current state of the field to consolidate disparate quantifications of HGT within microbial eukaryote genomes and provide ecological context in cases of adaptive HGT. Second, I functionally validate HGTs encoding heavy metal detoxification in extremophilic Cyanidiophyceae red algae and use the findings to explore mechanisms of persistence and integration into new host genomes. Third, I present an alignment-free method for phylogenetic characterization of rare, cryptic, or undescribed taxa from environmental genomic datasets that is effective across a broad range of assembly qualities; this work advances knowledge about non-model organisms that is highly applicable to studies of HGT. Last, I adapt another k-mer-based bioinformatic method for HGT discovery that identifies recent, non-coding, or relic DNA transfers from metagenomic data to gain insights into the frequency and quality of HGTs across a single geothermal springs microbial community.

description: Language induced and spontaneous oscillatory activity was measured using MEG in a patient with the semantic variant of Primary Progressive Aphasia (svPPA) and 15 healthy controls.The patient showed oscillatory slowing in the left anterior temporal lobe (ATL) that extended into non-atrophied brain tissue in left and right frontal areas. The white matter connections were reduced to the left and right ATL and left frontal regions, exhibiting electrophysiological abnormalities. Altered diffusion metrics in all four language tracts, indicted compromised white matter integrity. Task-related and spontaneous oscillatory abnormalities can indicate early neurodegeneration in svPPA, providing promising targets for intervention.

description: Wenige Begriffe wirken so selbstverständlich wie der Begriff Muttersprache. Jeder Mensch hat eine Muttersprache, das scheint sich von selbst zu erklären. Sie ist so etwas wie unsere sprachliche Heimat, die Sprache, die wir spielerisch gelernt haben, mit Geborgenheit und engen Beziehungen verbinden, mit der eigenen Mutter, der Familie. Warum, so mag sich die eine oder der andere beim Überfliegen des Inventars der Migrationsbegriffe gefragt haben, taucht dieser Begriff hier auf? Welchen Bezug hat er zu Debatten über Migration? Und was könnte daran kontrovers sein? Tatsächlich ist der Begriff mit allerhand Vorstellungen behaftet, die – nicht nur, aber auch und insbesondere – im migrationsgesellschaftlichen Kontext problematisch sind. Das hängt mit den Sprachvorstellungen zusammen, die das Selbstbild der modernen Nationalstaaten prägen. Die darin verfestigten Normalitätsannahmen über Sprache(n), die Sprachkompetenzen von Menschen und die Sprachverhältnisse einer Gesellschaft bilden auch die Matrix für einen diskriminierenden Gebrauch des Muttersprachbegriffs in der Migrationsgesellschaft.

description: Orchids live with mycorrhizal fungi in mutualism. This symbiotic relationship plays an essential role in the overall life cycle of orchids from germination, growth, settlement, and reproduction. Among the 1000 species of the orchid, the Korean lady’s slipper, Cypripedium japonicum, is known as an endangered species. Currently, only five natural habitats of the Korean lady’s slipper remain in South Korea, and the population of Korean lady’s slipper in their natural habitat is not increasing. To prevent extinction, this study was designed to understand the fungal community interacting in the rhizosphere of the Korean lady’s slipper living in the native and artificial habitats. In-depth analyses were performed to discover the vital mycorrhizal fungi contributing to habitat expansion and cultivation of the endangered orchid species. Our results suggested that Lycoperdon nigrescens contributed most to the increase in natural habitats and Russula violeipes as a characteristic of successful cultivation. And the fungi that helped L. nigrescens and R. violeipes to fit into the rhizosphere community in Korean lady’s slipper native place were Paraboeremia selaginellae and Metarhizium anisopliae, respectively. The findings will contribute to restoring and maintaining the endangered orchid population in natural habitats.

description: Microbial identification is central to the science of microbiology – and features prominently in the curriculum. From phenotypic and morphological classifications to nucleic acid-based genealogy tracking, and recently, mass spectrometry-based identification, significant advances have been made in developing instruments and methods capable of delivering rapid and accurate detection and identification of microbes at reasonable cost. Nevertheless, despite availability of commercial instruments from a number of manufacturers and increasing adoption by clinical laboratories, theoretical principles and operational aspects of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS)-based microbial typing has not generally been incorporated into the undergraduate curriculum. To help bridge the curriculum gap, I developed a simple inquiry-based laboratory exercise for introducing mass spectrometry-based microbial identification to students. Specifically, by carrying out the full spectrum of activities comprising field sampling, cell culture, as well as mass spectrometry analysis and interpretation, students actively engaged in a discovery-based exercise designed to teach microbial biotyping, while also igniting their curiosity and spirit of inquiry by solving a research question with unknown answers: What are the microorganisms present in an environmental water sample? An abstract of the work can be found in the accompanying PDF file, while the original article, “Teaching Microbial Identification with Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) and Bioinformatics Tools,” has been published in the Journal of Microbiology and Biology Education, Vol. 14, No. 1, pp. 103-106, and together with the supplementary material, is available at http://jmbe.asm.org/index.php/jmbe/article/view/494 as an open-access article.

description: What are your most vivid memories of university? I think the life-long friendships fostered during undergraduate studies would come to mind for most graduates. Observing my students progress from being strangers at the start of their final year research projects to friends at the end of the research experience, an idea came to my mind of creating a memento to help them recollect – in future - this particular moment in their lives, as well as the camaraderie and friendships fostered. Specifically, using a purple pigment secreting bacterium, the initials of the students’ names were inscribed onto agar, whereupon growth of bacteria and secretion of pigment (similar to photo development in traditional film-based photography) made visible the pattern in a process closely resembling writing – but with bacteria cells serving as “ink.” One name on an agar; photographs of individual agar plates and a “family photo” comprising all agar plates constitute the memento.
