description: Adoption of evidence-based parenting programs by community agencies requires an understanding of the variables that affect their implementation. This study examined variables associated with the implementation of Triple P – Positive Parenting Program in Ontario. Surveys were completed on-line by 63 administrators, 54 supervisors, and 215 service providers from 69 different agencies. In a first article, I report on agencies’ pre-implementation openness, readiness, and resistance as well as on service providers’ self-reported use of and adherence to the program. Respondents from the vast majority of agencies reported openness to change prior to implementation but approximately half reported that they were not ready and experienced resistance. Although the majority of trained service providers used the program, a significant minority had not delivered it since training. The average adherence rate reported by service providers who used the program was 85.9%. In the second article, I report on the variables associated with implementation. The majority of respondents reported that they had adequate office resources to implement Triple P. Over half the managers (administrators and supervisors) and over two thirds of service providers reported that their agency had received adequate training. The most commonly identified barrier to implementation was agency characteristics which included organizational climate, service provider characteristics, and supervision. Adequate office resources and positive agency characteristics were associated with higher program usage by service providers. Service providers’ reports impacted their individual adherence rates whereas managers had broader perspectives of the quality of implementation in their organizations. Differences in reports between managers and service providers were not associated with usage or adherence.

An agent-based simulation study of competition in the Victorian gas market
Creators: name: Taylor, Neale F.
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Agent-based simulation is used to model the deregulated Victorian gas market. The model characterises the full range of market participants: producers, transmission operators, underground storage operator, wholesale traders, market manager (regulator) of the daily balancing and gas supply price setting system, distributors, retailers, and customers of various types and sizes in numerous regions. The model is domain specific and characterises participants' behaviour in their market trading and business terms. Participants have resources and capacities, set retail prices, hold and negotiate supply contracts, decide if and when to increase capacities, determine and make daily wholesale price and volume offers, and set retail prices to customers, who have the capacity to swap retailers. All decisions are made in terms of market regulations, contract terms, seasonal patterns, market shares, prices, costs and profits. The model provides a data rich platform that allows market agents to consider the combined interactions of both micro- and macro-decisions on their overall performance in multiple sectors. The model has few control agents and relies only on the mild synchronous control of agent interactions to achieve dynamic changes in the market over short and long periods. The model relies on the diversity of agents' interactions and simple mental models to make micro-level business decisions rather than on using learning, gaming or control techniques. The agents' myriad of interactions generates emergent market and industry trends as well as outlooks for individual market agent's profit performance. The model provides a simulation framework that a market participant can use to gain strategic insights to future market competition and how to be successful in a competitive market. Participants can use the model to assess the strengths and weaknesses of their own competitive positions in the market and to consider alternative strategies by use of a look-ahead capability for testing a range of strategies to guide dynamic implementation of varying strategies and plans. The model is classified as a 'proof of concept' model and one of very few that has attempted and succeeded in modelling a multi-sector, complex, adaptive commodity market with micro-level characterisation. The model is broadly calibrated within the limits of available data and, while outputs have not been extensively or statistically validated, retrospective model predictions compare well to actual history and a number of longer term model predictions provide rationally bounded outlooks of key industry criteria such as supply prices and demand. The model platform has been used by the CSIRO to build their similarly structured NEMSIM (electricity) model.

description: There has been a great deal of public concern regarding the possibility that the use of mobile phone-related technologies might result in adverse health effects. Corresponding to this, there has been substantial epidemiological research designed to determine whether the use of mobile phones (M-P) has any effect on health, and in particular whether it increases the risk of developing head and neck tumours. Such literature is particularly heterogeneous, which makes it difficult to pool in a meta-analysis. This paper thus reviews the epidemiological literature pertaining to the use of mobile phones and mobile phone-related technologies, and head and neck tumours, in an attempt to consolidate the various reports. Although there have been individual reports of associations between MP-use and tumours, this research is not consistent and on balance does not provide evidence of an association. There are reports of small associations between MP-use ipsilateral to the tumour for greater than 10 years, for both acoustic neuroma and glioma, but the present paper argues that these are especially prone to confounding by recall bias. The reported associations are in need of replication with methods designed to minimise such bias before they can be treated as more than suggestive.

description: Background: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the virus responsible for Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has a predilection for infecting the mucosa of the upper and lower airways. Otolaryngologists and supporting health care workers (HCWs) are particularly at high risk of becoming infected while treating patients as many in-office procedures and surgeries are Aerosol Generating Medical Procedures (AGMP). Based on a review of the literature and various guidelines, recommendations are made to mitigate the risk to health care workers of becoming infected with SARS-CoV-2 while providing clinical care. Recommendations: During the COVID-19 pandemic all elective and non-time sensitive Otolaryngology procedures should be deferred to mitigate the risk of transmission of infection to HCWs. For non-AGMPs in all patients, even COVID-19 positive patients Level 1 PPE (surgical mask, gown, gloves and face shield or goggles) is sufficient. If local prevalence is favourable and patients are asymptomatic and test negative for SARS-CoV-2, Level 1 PPE can be used during short duration AGMPs, with limited risk of infected aerosol spread. For AGMPs in patients who test positive for SARS-CoV-2 a minimum of Level 2 PPE, with adequate protection of mucosal surfaces, is recommended (N95/FFP2 respirator, gown, double gloves, goggles or face shield and head cover). For long duration AGMPs that are deemed high-risk in COVID-19 positive patients, Level 3 PPE can provide a higher level of protection and be more comfortable during long duration surgeries if surgical hoods or PAPRs are used. It is recommended that these procedures are performed in negative pressure rooms, if available. It is essential to follow strict donning and doffing protocols to minimize the risk of contamination. Conclusions: By following strict infection prevention recommendations, the risk of HCWs becoming infected with SARS-CoV-2 while treating patients can be minimized. As the COVID-19 pandemic evolves rapidly, these recommendations should serve as guidance and need to be interpreted based on local factors and availability of healthcare resources.

description: Oscillometry is the most common measurement method used in automatic blood pressure (BP) monitors. However, most of the oscillometric algorithms are without physiological and theoretical foundation, and rely on empirically derived coefficients for systolic and diastolic pressure evaluation which affects the reliability of the technique. In this thesis, the oscillometric BP estimation problem is addressed using a comprehensive modeling approach, based on which coefficient-free estimation of BP becomes possible. A feature-based neural network approach is developed to find an implicit relationship between BP and the oscillometric waveform (OMW). The modeling approach is then extended by developing a mathematical model for the OMW as a function of the arterial blood pressure, cuff pressure, and cuff-arm-artery system parameters. Based on the developed model, the explicit relationship between the OMW and the systolic and diastolic pressures is found and a new coefficient-free oscillometric BP estimation method using the trust region reflective algorithm is proposed. In order to improve the reliability of BP estimates, the electrocardiogram signal is recorded simultaneously with the OMW, as another independent source of information. The electrocardiogram signal is used to identify the true oscillometric pulses and calculate the pulse transit time (PTT). By combining our developed model of oscillomtery with an existing model of the pulse wave velocity, a new mathematical model is derived for the PTT during the cuff deflation. The derived model is incorporated to study the PTT-cuff pressure dependence, based on which a new coefficient-free BP estimation method is proposed. In order to obtain accurate and robust estimates of BP, the proposed model-based BP estimation method sare fused by computing the weighted arithmetic mean of their estimates. With fusion of the proposed methods, it is observed that the mean absolute error (MAE) in estimation of systolic and diastolic pressures is 4.40 and 3.00 mmHg, respectively, relative to the Food and Drug Administration-approved Omron monitor. In addition, the proposed feature-based neural network was compared with auscultatory measurements by trained observers giving MAE of 6.28 and 5.73 mmHg in estimation of systolic and diastolic pressures, respectively. The proposed models thus show promise toward developing robust BP estimation methods.
The effective bandwidth problem revisited

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This article studies a single-server queueing system with autonomous service and ℓ priority classes. Arrival and departure processes are governed by marked point processes. There are ℓ buffers corresponding to priority classes, and upon arrival a unit of the kth priority class occupies a place in the kth buffer. Let N (k), k = 1,2,…, ℓ denote the quota for the total kth buffer content. The values N (k) are assumed to be large, and queueing systems both with finite and infinite buffers are studied. In the case of a system with finite buffers, the values N (k) characterize buffer capacities. This article discusses a circle of problems related to optimization of performance measures associated with overflowing the quota of buffer contents, particularly buffers models. Our approach to this problem is new, and the presentation of our results is simple and clear for real applications.

Subjects: Korean Fortunetelling

description: The thesis attempts to test basic assumptions of religious economy model (REM) in the Korean context where a recent expansion of fortunetelling occurs. The thesis pays attention to both the supply-side and the demand-side factors of fortunetelling and then explain why the demand-side factors are more important for a better understanding of the popularity of fortunetelling in contemporary Korea. The supply-side factors such as religious regulation, competition, and religious freedom have not worked in Korea in the same way that REM observed in the Western context. Today the Korean religious market faces two unexpected phenomena: one is the popularity of fortunetelling culture, and the other is a slightly decreasing membership of Protestantism, which REM regards as the most competitive religion in religious market. Since the 1980s, traditional values of fortunetelling provided by mudangs or yeoksulgas has been reevaluated and reconstructed in various aspects. Based on the results of field research on participants in Korean fortunetelling, the thesis shows how and why the participants consume traditional fortuntelling service rather than prophetic functions of official religions. Conclusively, the thesis suggests that REM should take into consideration the demand-side factors more importantly when it tries to explain a Korean religious society.

description: The first line of defence against wireless attacks in Radio Frequency Identi cation (RFID) systems is authentication of tags and readers. RFID tags are very constrained in terms of power, memory and size of circuit. Therefore, RFID tags are not capable of performing sophisticated cryptographic operations. In this dissertation, we have designed light-weight authentication schemes to securely identify the RFID tags to readers and vice versa. The authentication schemes require simple binary operations and can be readily implemented in resource-constrained Radio Frequency Identi cation (RFID) tags. We provide a formal proof of security based on the di culty of solving the Syndrome Decoding (SD) problem. Authentication veri es the unique identity of an RFID tag making it possible to track a tag across multiple readers. We further protect the identity of RFID tags by a light-weight privacy protecting identifi cation scheme based on the di culty of the Learning Parity with Noise (LPN) complexity assumption. To protect RFID tags authentication against the relay attacks, we have designed a resistance scheme in the analog realm that does not have the practicality issues of existing solutions. Our scheme is based on the chaos-suppression theory and it is robust to inconsistencies, such as noise and parameters mismatch. Furthermore, our solutions are based on asymmetric-key algorithms that better facilitate the distribution of cryptographic keys in large systems. We have provided a secure broadcast encryption protocol to effi ciently distribute cryptographic keys throughout the system with minimal communication overheads. The security of the proposed protocol is formally proven in the adaptive adversary model, which simulates the attacker in the real world.

description: This thesis is an exploratory examination of identity construction and children’s media, with a focus on the Palestinian political groups of Fatah and Hamas. It looks at how children’s media are framed within the context of the Arab-Israeli conflict. It examines how internal and external social factors contribute to identity formation and the interaction among these elements during times of conflict and war. This thesis hypothesizes that both Fatah and Hamas use various myths to differing degrees in order to frame their conception of a Palestinian identity. Specifically, it explores the use of the Myth of Battle, the Myth of Hero, the Myth of Victim, the Myth of Religion, the Myth of Land and the Myth of Other. It seeks to determine which of these myths each group emphasizes through a qualitative and quantitative visual ethnographic content analysis. The quantitative analysis uncovered interesting, albeit not statistically significant, differences between Fatah’s and Hamas’ use of all of the myths in their videos. Specifically it found that both groups made equal and great use of the Myth of Religion; that Hamas produced the videos with the greatest focus on the Myth of Battle and the Myth of Hero; and that neither group greatly emphasized the Myth of Victim, the Myth of Land or the Myth of Other. Finally, the analysis discovered positive correlations between the Myth of Hero and the Myth of Battle as well as between the Myth of Battle and the Myth of Other.
Modeling Of Mechanical Properties of Ceramic-Metal Composites for Armor Applications
Creators: name: Mansur, Ali
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2011

description: In this study, AISI 450 stainless steel and ceramic-metal matrix composites (CMMCs) impacted by a 7.61x51mm armor piercing (AP) projectile, are numerically investigated by using Abaqus/Explicit. For AISI steel, three different failure criteria are used in order to determine the critical thickness values for perforation for different projectile impact velocities. Overall, the standard Abaqus and the elongation to fracture criteria yield comparable results, while the strain energy model yields critical plate thickness values nearly twice as large as those obtained using the two other models. Because of the unavailability of most parameters needed for the standard ductile-shear criteria, only the alternative failure criteria, elongation to fracture and strain energy, were used for CMMCs, specifically WC-CO. This result is contrary to the real condition experience and expectation that CMMCs provide better ballistic performance. It can be rationalized by the non-consideration of local heating and shear band formation in this study.

description: Fluoroolefins in general represent a valuable class of feedstock materials which have proven integral to a number of industries including (but not limited to) refrigeration, agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, and propellants. As ligands for transition metals they are privileged in the relative inertness of the C–F bonds and their electrophilicity, which makes them ideal candidates for coordination chemistry with late, electron rich metals. The scope of this thesis encompasses work with TFE and VDF, two readily available fluoroolefins that are used most commonly in the polymer industry. Through the use of low-coordinate nickel systems, value-added derivatives of these two olefins have been prepared. With TFE, a T-shaped perfluoronickelacyclopentane was obtained upon coordination of the bulky SIPr ligand; this complex underwent hydrogenation to give 1H,4H-octafluorobutane at as low as 5 psi of hydrogen, in addition to giving rise to new ring-opened derivatives and a rare perfluorocyclobutyl complex. In the case of VDF, the regioselective hydrodefluorodimerization to a potentially valuable new refrigerant 2,4,4-trifluorobut-1-ene (HFO-1363pyf) catalyzed by nickel is reported, as well as a dimeric 2,4,4-trifluorobut-1-enylnickel derivative which is proposed in this text to originate from the β-fluoride elimination of an unprecedented 5-membered 2H,2H,4H,4H-tetrafluoronickelacycle.

L’influence du statut de première génération, du parcours scolaire, et de la participation étudiante sur le succès universitaire

description: Cette thèse évalue le succès universitaire des étudiants dits de première génération – c’est-à-dire dont les parents n’ont eux-mêmes aucune expérience des études postsecondaires – en conjonction avec l’impact des divers parcours des étudiants. En Ontario, le parcours typique est une entrée à l’université directement à la sortie du secondaire. Un parcours moins fréquent, mais qui préoccupe beaucoup le gouvernement provincial depuis quelques années, est le cheminement avec passage dans un Collège d’arts appliqués et techniques. De plus, il existe aussi d’autres parcours tels que les transferts universitaires canadiens ou les provenances internationales. Tirant parti du fait que l’Université d’Ottawa permet de faire la comparaison directe des générations et des parcours dans un même milieu éducatif, la thèse rapporte une étude préliminaire (N = 2095) et une étude principale (N = 3067). L’étude préliminaire sert surtout à évaluer la présence d’étudiants de première génération sur le campus et la ventilation par parcours. L’étude principale évalue les effets du statut de première génération croisés avec ceux du parcours sur trois mesures de succès scolaire à l’université : 1) la persévérance en deuxième année d'étude, 2) l'obtention du diplôme mesurée de manière longitudinale, et 3) la moyenne pondérée cumulative, à l'aide de régressions logistiques et d'analyses de covariance. Les principaux résultats indiquent un avantage du parcours Cégépien par rapport au secondaire Ontarien et un désavantage du parcours Collège Ontarien. Cependant, si on introduit une mesure de participation étudiante via l'Enquête nationale sur la participation étudiante comme covariable, on observe que cette variable absorbe la variance due au parcours dans la première phase d'analyse et en fait disparaître les effets. Cette absorption peut se comprendre en termes de différences de curriculum, de préparation, et d'antécédents familiaux.

Current Guidelines for Protecting Health Workers from Occupational Tuberculosis Are Necessary, but Not Sufficient: Towards a Comprehensive Occupational Health Approach

description: Health workers globally are at elevated occupational risk of tuberculosis infection and disease. While a raft of guidelines have been published over the past 25 years on infection prevention and control (IPC) in healthcare, studies in different settings continue to show inadequate implementation and persistence of risk. The aim of this commentary is to argue, based on the literature and our own research, that a comprehensive occupational health approach is an essential complement to IPC guidelines. Such an approach includes a health system framework focusing on upstream or mediating components, such as a statutory regulation, leadership, an information system, and staff trained in protective disciplines. Within the classical prevention framework, primary prevention needs to be complemented by occupational health services (secondary prevention) and worker’s compensation (tertiary prevention). A worker-centric approach recognises the ethical implications of screening health workers, as well as the stigma perceived by those diagnosed with tuberculosis. It also provides for the voiced experience of health workers and their participation in decision-making. We argue that such a comprehensive approach will contribute to both the prevention of occupational tuberculosis and to the ability of a health system to withstand other crises of infectious hazards to its workforce.

The 'truth' of science and the branding of food products and organizations

description: In this paper we examine the branding of food and how organizations deploy a discourse based upon scientific truth claims in order to shift consumer understandings of food brands and the organizations that produce them. We propose that food science not only changes the process of food production but also changes the meanings that consumers attribute to food brands. Our analysis utilises Foucault's (1988) theory of discourse technologies - including technologies of production, sign systems, power, and the self - to explore the use of scientific discourse in the branding of food products and food organizations (Motion and Leitch, 2002). The application of science may facilitate a discursive shift in which a product that was conceived as a food is rebranded as a nutraceutical or medicine and the organizational identity associated with the brand is similarly transformed.

description: The survey of floral variability of carob tree (Ceratonia siliqua L.) from the Province of Chefchaouen (NW of Morocco) marks an unsteady floral mosaic. The determinate and the indeterminate inflorescences deveiopment is not controlled by environmental conditions in the study area. ln carob tree, the indeterminate inflorescences rate is generally higher than the determinate inflorescences one. The particular inflorescence types have been observed. Inflorescence length and flowefs number per inflorescence would not related to environmental conditions. Inflorescence length is superior in male trees when compared to female ones (5.71 cm YS.4.45 cm). Flowers number per inflorescence in male trees is superior to the one in female trees (42 flowers YS.30 flowers). ln male carob tree, seven flower types have been distinguished differing by sepals and stamens numbers and filament length. ln female carob tree, three flower types have been defined in terms of pistil form. The grafting of male or female trees in the domesticated areas affects the sex-ratio in this species. Pollen grains diameter and potential fertility show a high variability and could not be explained by the studied factors. The diameter of pollen grains is 28.3:f:2.43 !lm. The aborted polleJ;lrate has been estimated to 15 %.
Analysis of the role of Article 6 in parties' NDCs

description: Dieses Factsheet untersucht die Rolle von Artikel 6 des Pariser Abkommens in den national festgelegten Beiträgen (engl. Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs)), die die Vertragsstaaten bei der Klimarahmenkonvention eingereicht haben. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass im Allgemeinen eine beträchtliche Offenheit gegenüber Artikel 6 besteht, wobei die Absicht, ITMOs oder A6.4ERs zu kaufen, deutlich geringer ist als die Bereitschaft, solche Einheiten zu verkaufen. Die Verteilung zwischen Verkäufern und Käufern spiegelt weitgehend die Struktur wider, die aus dem Kyoto-Protokoll und dem Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) bekannt ist, was darauf hindeutet, dass diese Rollenverteilung auch im Rahmen des Pariser Abkommens bestehen bleiben könnte. Das Factsheet kommt zu dem Schluss, dass die Ergänzung der Ergebnisse der NDC-Analyse durch länderspezifische Untersuchungen ein umfassenderes Bild darüber liefern könnte, welche Rolle Artikel 6 bei der Umsetzung des Übereinkommens von Paris spielen könnte.

description: This fact sheet surveys the role of Article 6 of the Paris Agreement (PA) in the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) that Parties have submitted to the UNFCCC. The findings indicate that there is in general considerable openness towards Article 6, with the intention to buy ITMOs or A6.4ERs being much more limited than to sell such units. The distribution between sellers vs. buyers largely reflects the structure known from the Kyoto Protocol and its Clean Development Mechanism (CDM), indicating that the distribution of roles might persist under the Paris Agreement. The fact sheet finds that complementing the findings of the NDC analysis with country-specific research could provide a more complete picture about the role Article 6 could play in the implementation of the Paris Agreement.

A physiological approach to analysing SME growth patterns and to understanding the distinctions and similarities between normal and abnormal growth
Creators: name: Bianchi, Carmine

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Building on earlier work on abnormal SME growth trajectories, this paper investigates to what extent the analysis can be extended to the study of an unusual but “normal” growth pattern. The detailed case histories of two firms which might be called micro-giants are presented. These are companies that would be categorised as small firms but are actually competing, and competing successfully, in nonniche markets with much larger firms, or even multinational giants. The resource based view and modelling approaches developed in the earlier non-normal growth situations is then applied to these cases.

description: Tuning of model-based boosting algorithms relies mainly on the number of iterations, while the step-length is fixed at a predefined value. For complex models with several predictors such as Generalized additive models for location, scale and shape (GAMLSS), imbalanced updates of predictors, where some distribution parameters are updated more frequently than others, can be a problem that prevents some submodels to be appropriately fitted within a limited number of boosting iterations. We propose an approach using adaptive step-length (ASL) determination within a non-cyclical boosting algorithm for Gaussian location and scale models, as an important special case of the wider class of GAMLSS, to prevent such imbalance. Moreover, we discuss properties of the ASL and derive a semi-analytical form of the ASL that avoids manual selection of the search interval and numerical optimization to find the optimal step-length, and consequently improves computational efficiency. We show competitive behavior of the proposed approaches compared to penalized maximum likelihood and boosting with a fixed step-length for Gaussian location and scale models in two simulations and two applications, in particular for cases of large variance and/or more variables than observations. In addition, the underlying concept of the ASL is also applicable to the whole GAMLSS framework and to other models with more than one predictor like zero-inflated count models, and brings up insights into the choice of the reasonable defaults for the step-length in the simpler special case of (Gaussian) additive models.
