description: There’s a man in Canada who thinks I’m a terrorist. He was in Australia this time last year, presenting workshops around the country. They were titled, ‘The best strategies to win against activists’. On his ad he called himself “Controversial Canadian PR consultant Ross Irvine”. But a text scan of media around the world revealed no controversy surrounding any bloke named Ross Irvine. Not until he arrived in Australia, where the West Australian dubbed him “Rambo Ross” and ABC Melbourne’s Jon Faine called him “the anti-activist-activist”.[Introduction]

description: This study delves into the intricate relationship between social norms, cultural values, and economic development, as elucidated in the recent literature on the "Paradox of the West." The central premise of this neo-institutional discourse posits that the remarkable growth and historical transformation witnessed in Western Europe between the tenth and eighteenth centuries can be largely attributed to its institutional framework. Over time, Western societies crafted complex legal and organizational structures that not only facilitated economic growth but also curtailed government power, minimized uncertainty in social interactions, lowered transaction costs, and safeguarded property rights. A pivotal juncture in the development of Western institutionalism occurred during the Glorious Revolution of 1688 in England, where the fusion of individual rights and constitutional parliamentary government set the stage for unprecedented economic prosperity. Moreover, this discourse highlights the instrumental role played by private institutions such as guilds, fairs, and coalitions, which emerged across Europe and effectively supplanted public authorities in enforcing institutional norms governing economic activities. The study also examines the pivotal role of the commercial revolution that spanned from the 10th to the 18th century, particularly the transatlantic commerce that commenced around 1500, as a driving force behind economic progress in Europe (North & Weingast, 1989; Greif, 2006; Acemoglu & Robinson, 2005).

description: The computational demands of neural architecture search (NAS) algorithms are usually directly proportional to the size of their target search spaces. Thus, limiting the search to high-quality subsets can greatly reduce the computational load of NAS algorithms. In this paper, we present Clustering-Based REDuction (C-BRED), a new technique to reduce the size of NAS search spaces. C-BRED reduces a NAS space by clustering the computational graphs associated with its architectures and selecting the most promising cluster using proxy statistics correlated with network accuracy. When considering the NAS-Bench-201 (NB201) data set and the CIFAR-100 task, C-BRED selects a subset with 70% average accuracy instead of the whole space's 64% average accuracy.

Cyclic functional collaboration: a scientific approach to housing
Creators: name: McNelis, Sean
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The thesis argues that Cyclic Functional Collaboration as a scientific approach to housing could provide housing researchers with a framework for collaborative creativity that will relate and integrate disparate types of research and present decision-makers with practical advice on future directions for housing. Housing, as exemplified in the history of Australian social housing, is continually changing and continually presenting decision-makers with a series of problems that need to be resolved, as well as opportunities for future development. Housing research operates across many disciplines. It is characterised by a broad range of methods, epistemological and ontological approaches and purposes. As a result, it is very diverse and very fragmented with researchers having little sense of how different types of research relate to one another. For decision-makers, the problem is how to incorporate this disparate array of research into their decisions. If housing research is to find solutions to our pressing housing problems and provide practical advice to decision-makers, it must find a solution to its fragmentation, one which will relate and integrate this disparate array of research. The thesis proposes that Cyclic Functional Collaboration (as discovered by Bernard Lonergan, a Canadian methodologist, philosopher, theologian and economist) is a framework which could hold the diversity of housing research together. Housing research is about asking and answering questions. Very few researchers, however, reflect upon the questions they ask and the type of answer their questions anticipate. Through a phenomenology of housing research the thesis identifies a series of questions. This is complemented by an analysis of research on Australian social housing which identifies different genres whose orientation roughly corresponds with different questions. However, it notes how housing research, operating largely within a common-sense framework, muddles these questions. The thesis proposes that a scientific approach to housing would distinguish different types of questions and their anticipated answers. It would ask a complete set of eight questions: an empirical question, a theoretical question, a historical question, an evaluative/critical question, a transformative question, a visionary/policy question, a strategic question and a practical question. These questions are functionally inter-related, they provide a framework for interdisciplinary collaboration and they are ongoing and cyclic, producing cumulative and progressive results. The thesis sets out a more precise understanding of these questions, their anticipated answers and their relationships. It concludes by proposing a paradigm shift in our understanding of each genre of housing research.

description: The Thysanoptera (Paraneoptera) constitute a very diverse order of minute insects, characterized mainly by a ‘punch-and-suck’ mode of feeding due to a specialized asymmetrical gnathal apparatus with two maxillary stylets plus only one functional mandible. We have studied their fossil relatives from the Thripida family sensu Vishniakova (1981) and Zherikhin (2002), as revised by Nel et al. (2012a), in order to identify new morphological characters and help to polarize some of the characters present in the Thysanoptera. Here we present perfectly preserved specimens from the Middle Jurassic Daohugou beds of China, approximately 165 million years old, belonging to three new species and one new genus of Lophioneurida (Thripida): Lophiosina lini gen. et sp. nov., Undacypha bournieri sp. nov. and Undacypha kreiteri sp. nov. Precise analysis of the fossil heads revealed two ancestral mandibular sclerites that can still be found modified in the Recent thrips mouthcone, although in different ways in the two suborders of Thysanoptera, Terebrantia and Tubulifera. Their absence from the left side of the mouthcone of Terebrantia is a morphological apomorphy for this suborder. Studying fossils also allows us to inform the evolution of Thysanoptera in the deep past. Here we show that some of the characters usually thought to be apomorphies for Thysanoptera are instead apomorphies for all Thripida; this is the case for the typical gnathal apparatus but also for the eversible arolium and the fringe hairs. This leads us to redefine the Thysanoptera within the Thripida.http://zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:72C95534-72D4-46CC-9861-337FE030CF17

description: We consider a Tsallis holographic dark energy model with interaction between dark energy and matter. The density of dark energy is taken as $ρ_d \sim 3C^2/L^{4-2γ}$, where $C$, $γ$ are constants. The event horizon is chosen as the characteristic scale $L$. The cosmological dynamics of the universe are analyzed, with special attention paid to the possibility of crossing the phantom line $w_{eff}=-1$. It is shown that for certain values of parameters this may occur not only once, but also twice.

Exploring the Coping Strategies, Emotion Regulation and Well-Being Indicators of Parents of Neurodivergent Children: A Comparative Study Between Mothers and Fathers in India
Creators: name: Sinha, Adya

Publisher: name: Psychology Hub
Year: 2024

description: The study explores maternal and paternal differences in the coping strategies, emotion regulation and well-being indicators of parents of neurodivergent children in India. Research has shown that the impact of raising a neurodivergent child is different for mothers and fathers. However, most studies focus solely on mothers, and there is insufficient research in the Indian context. It was hypothesised that the emotion regulation, well-being indicators and coping strategies used by fathers and mothers of neurodivergent children are significantly different. 19 mothers and 10 fathers of children (aged 10-16 years) diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder, Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder and Learning Disabilities, from the Aatman Academy, Thane participated in the study. The Brief-Coping Orientation to Problems Experienced Inventory (Carver, 1997), Multidimensional Flourishing Scale (Mesurado et al., 2018), Peace of Mind Scale (Lee et al., 2012), and the Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire-Short Version (Garnefski Kraaij, 2006) were used to assess coping strategies, well-being and emotion regulation, respectively. A Mann-Whitney U test revealed differences in maternal and paternal results, but they were not significant. Plausible explanations include increased paternal involvement in child-rearing, the dyadic stress model, emotional interdependence in mothers and fathers and communal coping. This study is comprehensive, uses standardised questionnaires, and includes fathers. It can aid mixed methods and longitudinal research on the topic, and in designing timely interventions for parents of neurodivergent children in India.

description: The use of two recently developed diglycolamide-based extractants for the co-separation of trivalent actinides (An(III)) and lanthanides (Ln(III)) is described and compared to the well-known extractant TODGA (N,N,N’,N’-tetraoctyl diglycolamide). The addition of one or two methyl groups to the central methylene carbon atoms of the TODGA molecule leads to a reduction of the extraction efficiency for An(III) and Ln(III). This is attributed to a lower complex formation constant, which was proven by Time-Resolved Laser Fluorescence Spectroscopy (TRLFS). Conditional stability constants were determined by solvent extraction and TRLFS. The reduction in extraction efficiency leads to overall reduced distribution ratios of all tested metal ions, including Sr(II). The reduced Sr(II) extraction is beneficial as a co-extraction in a solvent extraction process could be avoided, while an efficient extraction of the desired An(III) and Ln(III) is still achieved. Furthermore, this might be a benefit, as the stripping behavior might be improved, even at moderate nitric acid concentrations. The slightly higher affinity of the diglycolamides towards Eu(III) over Am(III) is represented by all ligands, although the selectivity is rather low. This results in promising extraction properties of the modified diglycolamides towards the development of continuous solvent extraction processes.

description: Image segmentation has been increasingly applied in medical settings as recent developments have skyrocketed the potential applications of deep learning. Urology, specifically, is one field of medicine that is primed for the adoption of a real-time image segmentation system with the long-term aim of automating endoscopic stone treatment. In this project, we explored supervised deep learning models to annotate kidney stones in surgical endoscopic video feeds. In this paper, we describe how we built a dataset from the raw videos and how we developed a pipeline to automate as much of the process as possible. For the segmentation task, we adapted and analyzed three baseline deep learning models -- U-Net, U-Net++, and DenseNet -- to predict annotations on the frames of the endoscopic videos with the highest accuracy above 90\%. To show clinical potential for real-time use, we also confirmed that our best trained model can accurately annotate new videos at 30 frames per second. Our results demonstrate that the proposed method justifies continued development and study of image segmentation to annotate ureteroscopic video feeds.

description: Adolescent well-being emerges from a confluence of factors, encompassing social support from family, peers, and educators, a safe and supportive environment, and a strong sense of self-belief. This study investigates the mediating influence of self-efficacy in the association between adolescents' perceived psychosocial support and their well-being. Students aged 13 to 19 from different schools and colleges in Southern India, participated in the study (n= 229, Boys= 46.29%, Girls= 53.71%). Self-report scales, viz. The Psychosocial Support Scale (PSYCHOSS-22), the Indian Scale of Adolescent Well-being (ISAW), and the General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSE) were used to assess the study variables. The data were analysed using Pearson’s product-moment correlation coefficient and structural equation modelling. The study's findings revealed positive and significant correlations between psychosocial support, self-efficacy, and the well-being of participants. Self-efficacy partially mediated the relationship between psychosocial support and well-being, which suggests that adolescents' belief in themselves develops as a result of the psychological and tangible support they receive from their surroundings, contributing to enhanced well-being. Furthermore, self-efficacy facilitates adolescents' perception and pursuit of psychosocial support, highlighting the importance of recognizing and utilizing available social support for their psychological well-being. The findings underscore the importance of endorsing strategies aimed at bolstering adolescents' self-efficacy during their formative years.

description: The power generation industry is a crucial sector in supporting the government's program to provide electricity for all Indonesian citizens. To accelerate the achievement of the vision and mission of the power generation industry, optimal support from human resources is needed. This study aims to determine whether employee engagement and organizational justice affect employee performance with job satisfaction as an intervening variable at PT. Berkat Bima Sentana. The research was conducted on 129 employees at PT. Berkat Bima Sentana using proportionate random sampling technique and Slovin's formula with a margin of error of 5%, resulting in 98 respondents. The data collection techniques used were primary data in the form of questionnaires and secondary data obtained through documentation studies. The data analysis technique employed quantitative data processed with SPSS version 24, including t- tests, the coefficient of determination (R2), and the Sobel test. The results of this study indicate that there is a significant influence between the variables of employee engagement, organizational justice, and job satisfaction on performance. The job satisfaction variable can influence the employee engagement and organizational justice variables on performance. The ability of the employee engagement, organizational justice, and job satisfaction variables to explain employee performance at PT. Berkat Bima Sentana is 84.2%, while the remaining 15.8% is explained by other variables not included in this research model.

description: Two polyacrylic resins of different types such as Purolite S-984 (macroporous, chelating with a polyacrylic matrix supporting functional groups of the polyamine type) and Amberlite IRA-478RF (gel, intermediate polyacrylic anion exchanger with the tertiary amine and quaternary ammonium functional groups) were applied in removal of palladium(II) metal ions from HCl and HCl – HNO3 solutions. Its sorption behaviors for base (Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Ni(II)) and other noble metal (Pt(IV), Au(III)) ions, kinetics, and equilibrium studies were carried out in detail. The obtained results indicate that the resin is characterized by high sorption capacity and good kinetics of the sorption process. For the elution, the solutions of various reagents, that is, HCl, HNO3, H2SO4, NaOH, NH4OH, (NH2)2CS were studied as regards the complete release of the metal ions retained by the resin. Gold(III) could be eluted quantitatively from the loaded resin whereas Pd(II) and Pt(IV) could not by means of the applied eluting agent.

description: Signal extrapolation tasks arise in miscellaneous manners in the field of image and video signal processing. But, due to the widespread use of low-power and mobile devices, the computational complexity of an algorithm plays a crucial role in selecting an algorithm for a given problem. Within the scope of this contribution, we introduce the complex-valued Frequency Selective Extrapolation for fast image and video signal extrapolation. This algorithm iteratively generates a generic complex-valued model of the signal to be extrapolated as weighted superposition of Fourier basis functions. We further show that this algorithm is up to 10 times faster than the existent real-valued Frequency Selective Extrapolation that takes the real-valued nature of the input signals into account during the model generation. At the same time, the quality which is achievable by the complex-valued model generation is similar to the quality of the real-valued model generation.

description: The present study aimed to investigate the role of children’s characteristics, parenting practices, and peer relationships in school victimization. The research employed a mixed methodology. The quantitative phase of the research included 374 children and their parents. The children completed the Revised Olweus Bullying and Victimization Questionnaire, the Behavioral Inhibition Instrument, the Parental Bonding Instrument, and the Social Acceptance Scale. The qualitative phase of the research included eight children, who were randomly selected from the quantitative phase. Data in this phase were collected through a focus group. The results of the quantitative phase showed that victimization is positively predicted by behavioral inhibition, while it is negatively predicted by maternal and paternal care, and peer relationships. The results of the qualitative phase were consistent with the results of the quantitative phase. In addition, new characteristics and concepts emerged from the qualitative data, such as the victim’s characteristics (low self-esteem, inability to support oneself and express one’s opinion, low success, victim diversity). Therefore, a complex and comprehensive profile of school victims was developed through the mixed methodology, which includes the child's behaviors and characteristics and parental and social factors. The research results are useful for designing prevention and intervention programs related to children and adolescents' psycho-emotional empowerment.

description: Signal extrapolation is an important task in digital signal processing for extending known signals into unknown areas. The Selective Extrapolation is a very effective algorithm to achieve this. Thereby, the extrapolation is obtained by generating a model of the signal to be extrapolated as weighted superposition of basis functions. Unfortunately, this algorithm is computationally very expensive and, up to now, efficient implementations exist only for basis function sets that emanate from discrete transforms. Within the scope of this contribution, a novel efficient solution for Selective Extrapolation is presented for utilization with arbitrary basis functions. The proposed algorithm mathematically behaves identically to the original Selective Extrapolation, but is several decades faster. Furthermore, it is able to outperform existent fast transform domain algorithms which are limited to basis function sets that belong to the corresponding transform. With that, the novel algorithm allows for an efficient use of arbitrary basis functions, even if they are only numerically defined.

description: Undertaking doctoral studies is a highly demanding academic activity, so it is important that those who embark on this challenge can experience the process positively. This article aims to expose and reflect on the relevance of the well-being of doctoral students as a need that must be addressed by the doctoral programs and higher education institutions. Considerations that the academic community, especially in the Latin American context, must take into account for an adequate development and training process for doctoral students, should include elements beyond the academic aspects. Based on the literature, these considerations include the student’s relationship with their thesis supervisors, motherhood and family, the constant pressure to publish, and procrastination. Finally, some areas are included to consider possible interventions to benefit the well-being of doctoral students, and the need for further research in the area is emphasized.

description: Existing computer vision research in artwork struggles with artwork's fine-grained attributes recognition and lack of curated annotated datasets due to their costly creation. To the best of our knowledge, we are one of the first methods to use CLIP (Contrastive Language-Image Pre-Training) to train a neural network on a variety of artwork images and text descriptions pairs. CLIP is able to learn directly from free-form art descriptions, or, if available, curated fine-grained labels. Model's zero-shot capability allows predicting accurate natural language description for a given image, without directly optimizing for the task. Our approach aims to solve 2 challenges: instance retrieval and fine-grained artwork attribute recognition. We use the iMet Dataset, which we consider the largest annotated artwork dataset. In this benchmark we achieved competitive results using only self-supervision.

description: Two polyacrylic resins of different types such as Purolite S-984 (macroporous, chelating with a polyacrylic matrix supporting functional groups of the polyamine type) and Amberlite IRA-478RF (gel, intermediate polyacrylic anion exchanger with the tertiary amine and quaternary ammonium functional groups) were applied in removal of palladium(II) metal ions from HCl and HCl – HNO3 solutions. Its sorption behaviors for base (Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Ni(II)) and other noble metal (Pt(IV), Au(III)) ions, kinetics, and equilibrium studies were carried out in detail. The obtained results indicate that the resin is characterized by high sorption capacity and good kinetics of the sorption process. For the elution, the solutions of various reagents, that is, HCl, HNO3, H2SO4, NaOH, NH4OH, (NH2)2CS were studied as regards the complete release of the metal ions retained by the resin. Gold(III) could be eluted quantitatively from the loaded resin whereas Pd(II) and Pt(IV) could not by means of the applied eluting agent.

description: The use of two recently developed diglycolamide-based extractants for the co-separation of trivalent actinides (An(III)) and lanthanides (Ln(III)) is described and compared to the well-known extractant TODGA (N,N,N’,N’-tetraoctyl diglycolamide). The addition of one or two methyl groups to the central methylene carbon atoms of the TODGA molecule leads to a reduction of the extraction efficiency for An(III) and Ln(III). This is attributed to a lower complex formation constant, which was proven by Time-Resolved Laser Fluorescence Spectroscopy (TRLFS). Conditional stability constants were determined by solvent extraction and TRLFS. The reduction in extraction efficiency leads to overall reduced distribution ratios of all tested metal ions, including Sr(II). The reduced Sr(II) extraction is beneficial as a co-extraction in a solvent extraction process could be avoided, while an efficient extraction of the desired An(III) and Ln(III) is still achieved. Furthermore, this might be a benefit, as the stripping behavior might be improved, even at moderate nitric acid concentrations. The slightly higher affinity of the diglycolamides towards Eu(III) over Am(III) is represented by all ligands, although the selectivity is rather low. This results in promising extraction properties of the modified diglycolamides towards the development of continuous solvent extraction processes.

description: The Azure Window was a natural arch situated in the west coast of Gozo (Maltese Archipelago) that collapsed in March 2017. We employ a Diver Propulsion Vehicle-mounted camera system to capture data for the 3D-modelling of this collapsed arch via photogrammetry. We demonstrate use of this method to document complex underwater geomorphology spread across a large area, and draw up a geomorphic assessment of the site and collapse event on the basis of this 3D-model. The methodology enables a reconstruction and understanding of the collapse event. On account of the high-resolution attained, we are able to cross-match the principal submerged components with their pre-collapse location; this enables an understanding of the dynamics of the collapse, confirmation of rock break-up along existing joints, and mapping the distribution of the rock and debris from the collapse event. We conclude that the key stages in the collapse of the Azure Window entailed erosion at the base of the pillar, leading to the latter's collapse in the southwest direction, breaking into two main sections that separated along the lithological boundary. We also find clear evidence that separation of some sections of the pillar followed pre-existing joints. The bridge collapsed vertically upon loss of support from the pillar, breaking into two main components and many other fragments. We also document further changes at the site post-collapse. We show that this approach can be utilised to understand and characterise such events even when significant time has elapsed since collapse, and rocks have already undergone erosion and significant marine growth.

description: This literature synthesis collects instruments used to analyze doctor-patient interactions in oncology consultations. Oncology visits are complex and demanding, requiring doctors to communicate difficult information to patients under high-stress conditions. Effective communication is crucial for successful cancer treatment and informed decision-making. Medical interaction coding systems and self-reporting questionnaires offer valuable tools for evaluating communication, research, physician training, and assessing training program efficacy. This review explores various coding systems and self-report measures, their applications, and distinctions between observation-based and self-report systems. The review highlights recent developments in the field, gaps in current research, and potential future directions, emphasizing the importance of addressing local healthcare system influences and incorporating intercultural considerations in coding systems to promote patient-centered care.

description: Presently a lot of efforts are devoted to the investigation of new two-dimensional magnetic materials, which are considered as promising for the realization of the future electronics and spintronics devices. However, the utilization of these materials in different junctions requires complicated processing that in many cases leads to unwanted parasitic effects influencing the performance of the junctions. Here, we propose the new elegant approach for the realization of the "one-material"-based magnetic tunnel junction. The several layers of 2D van der Waals MnPX3 (X: S, Se), which is insulating antiferromagnet in its ground state, are used and the effect of the applied external electric filed leads to the half-metallic ferromagnetic states for the outermost layers of the MnPX3 stack. The rich states diagram of such magnetic tunnel junction permits to precisely control its tunneling conductivity. The realized "one-material"-based magnetic tunnel junction allows to avoid all effects connected with the lattice mismatches and carriers scattering effects at the materials interfaces, giving high perspectives for the application of such systems in electronics and spintronics.

description: We report the structure and properties of a fullerene soot called “Nanom Black,” which is prepared by removing fullerenes from the soot formed in fullerene production. Nanom Black remarkably accelerates the regioselective tri-addition of phenylcopper reagent to C70, giving C70Ph3H at a reaction rate approximately 50-fold that in the absence of Nanom Black. Transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and Raman data on Nanom Black are presented, and a mechanistic rationale is discussed.

description: We identify two key conditions that a subset $A$ of a poset $P$ may satisfy to guarantee the transfer of continuity properties from $P$ to $A$. We then highlight practical cases where these key conditions are fulfilled. Along the way we are led to consider subsets of a given poset $P$ whose way-below relation is the restriction of the way-below relation of $P$, which we call way-below preserving subposets. As an application, we show that every conditionally complete poset with the interpolation property contains a largest continuous way-below preserving subposet. Most of our results are expressed in the general setting of Z theory, where Z is a subset system.

description: Hydrogen gas, which can be used in fuel cells to generate electricity, is considered the ultimate clean energy source. Recently, it was reported that a photo-induced electron transfer system consisting of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and fullerodendrons shows photo-catalytic activity with a very high quantum yield for splitting water under visible light irradiation. However, the mechanism of high efficiency hydrogen generation is not yet clearly understood. We report here the spectroscopic characterizations of the SWCNT-fullerodendron composites. The results indicate two important fundamental properties of the composite system. First, fullerodendrons preferentially interact with the semiconducting SWCNTs instead of with their metallic counterparts. Second, the photo-induced electron transfer process from the C60 moiety of fullerodendrons to SWCNTs occurs more efficiently with an increasing tube diameter.

description: We consider a model for topological recursion based on the Hopf Algebra of planar binary trees of Loday and Ronco. We show that extending this Hopf Algebra by identifying pairs of nearest neighbor leaves and producing in this way graphs with loops we obtain the full recursion formula of Eynard and Orantin.
