Catharine Trotter Cockburn’s moral philosophy
Creators: name: Sund, Elizabeth Mary Katherine Anne

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: In this thesis, I defend Catharine Trotter Cockburn’s moral philosophy from the accusation that her simultaneous embrace of rationalism and empiricism commits her to certain logical inconsistencies. Those who accuse Cockburn of inconsistency have failed to identify the components of her theory that they find objectionable. The accusations are not completely unfounded because Cockburn does inherit certain ambiguities from John Locke. In order to repudiate the accusations, I identify tensions in Cockburn’s work that a critic might claim automatically commit her to certain logical inconsistencies. While some of the ambiguities remain unresolved, I show that Cockburn combines elements of rationalism and empiricism to form a coherent theory. She corrects elements of Locke that would otherwise be incompatible with her rationalism, meaning she is not a simple mouthpiece for his philosophy. The goal of this thesis is to lay to rest the unjustified accusations of inconsistency against Cockburn so that present-day readers can judge her work with fresh eyes.

description: Several programs have been established for cow-calf producers to market benefits of high health and management standards. Our objective was to estimate effects of value-added vaccina­tion (VAC) programs on calf prices sold through Superior Live­stock Auctions (SLA), the largest video cattle marketing network in North America. Superior Livestock Auctions VAC programs specify types and timing of vaccinations, qualifying vaccines, if calves were home raised, and/or minimum number of days weaned prior to delivery. Estimates of value added by VAC pro­grams may help improve management and marketing decisions.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: Milk culture is the gold standard for detection of intramam­mary infections (IMI) in dairy cows. Somatic cell count (SCC) is widely used for diagnosing subclinical mastitis, but its predic­tive value for detecting IMI is limited. Differential SCC (DSCC) provides information about the changes in the relative abun­dance of different cell types during the inflammatory response and is a potential alternative for the identification of quarters with IMI. However, its ability to detect IMI is unclear and re­quires further investigation. Thus, the objective of this study was to investigate the predictive value of DSCC in the identifica­tion of quarters with IMI.

School funding in Australia from 1972-73 to 2006-07: developing and using time series
Creators: name: White, Graeme Paul
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: The purpose of this study is to improve understanding of school education in Australia by examining its funding processes. The examination involves development of a framework of state and sector school funding time series data and the use of the data in the analysis of three important issues. The data are provided for the period 1972-73 to 2006-07 for state, Commonwealth and private funding for government and non-government schools. Schooling-specific price indices for recurrent and fixed capital formation purposes are developed and applied to current price data series to generate constant price series. Review of the relevant literature identified four principal areas of study related to school funding and three pervasive issues. The four study areas were concerned with the:: allocation of funds to schools; funding to achieve specific educational ends; development of statistical collections and indicator sets; and summative studies concerned with long-term education system effects. The three issues were the: changing priorities of government funding; relative funding of government and non-government schools; and, the ways school systems use funds to provide educational services. The collated framework provides school fund-flow information for planning, policy and research activities in all four areas of study and is used in conjunction with more detailed information from sources such as My School (ACARA). The analysis of the three issues demonstrated the capacity of the framework to support investigation of issues and the generation of policy and planning information. The study presents an effective approach to developing and accessing school funding time series for research investigations and analyses. Proposals are made for maintenance and future modifications and improvements to the data frameworks that will be needed over time.

description: A strong coupling between electric polarization and elastic deformation in solids is an important factor in creating useful electromechanical nanodevices. Such coupling is typically allowed in insulating materials with inversion symmetry breaking as exemplified by the piezoelectric effect in ferroelectric materials. Therefore, materials with metallicity and centrosymmetry have tended to be out of scope in this perspective. Here, we report the observation of giant elastic deformation by the application of an alternating electric current in topological semimetals (V,Mo)Te2, regardless of the centrosymmetry. Considering the crystal and band structures and the asymmetric measurement configurations in addition to the absence of the electromechanical effect in a trivial semimetal TiTe2, the observed effect is discussed in terms of a Berry-phase-derived converse flexoelectric effect in metals. The observation of the flexoelectric effect in topological semimetals paves a way for a new type of nanoscale electromechanical sensors and energy harvesting.

description: The optimization of colostrum quantity in dairy cows is of great concern to the dairy industry due to the importance of transfer of passive immunity to the newborn calf. Previous research has explored various prepartum environmental variables associ­ated with colostrum production including season, temperature and humidity index (THI), and light intensity. Research shows that cows produce less colostrum during the fall and winter, leading to a decrease in farm-wide supply and greater need for careful colostrum management during colder months. In pre­vious work investigating this problem, researchers used local weather data to determine THI and light intensity, rather than measuring these parameters directly on the farm. The objec­tive of this study was to determine if prepartum THI and light intensity in the close-up barn are associated with observed an­nual changes in colostrum production.

An Analysis of Fractal Features

Year: 2025

description: Since the beginning of civilization, the relationship between human beings and nature, natural phenomena, and natural texture have been a source of inspiration and focus of interest for artists, designers, and architects as well as for researchers and scientists. Accordingly, Mandelbrot, a mathematician, put forward the concept of fractal geometry as an extension of classical geometry with no conformity to its rules. Mandelbrot claimed that the concept of geometry was inadequate to explain the formal language, diversity, and cellular compositions of nature with the geometric axioms and proportions put forward by Euclid around 365-300 BC. Fractal geometry allowed an understanding of the formation of complex, chaotic, irregular, randomness, organic shapes and forms in nature and many natural phenomena. On the other hand, Bauhaus School introduced design disciplines in the 20th century, which were developed with industrialization. The basic design principles, which have complex and deep roots in the language of art, design and psychology, have succeeded in moving from thought to application and practice. With the simultaneous development of materials and technology, it has targeted and made it a necessity to exhibit concrete integrity and more scientific working discipline in order to reveal the designer’s artistic approach and imagination. This study included a characteristic analysis of 20 buildings that best reflect the principles of fractal geometry and design. It was considered that these principles would help a concrete design concept by making a matrix table study including their characteristic features.

The psychological impact of a personnel selection process on applicants of English speaking and non-English speaking backgrounds

description: The central focus of applicant reactions research has been applicant’s perceptions of fairness and related organisational outcomes. Limited research has examined the psychological impact of selection process participation, and the related personal outcomes. Research which has considered applicant wellbeing has assessed the impact of attending assessment centres rather than more commonly used selection procedures, such as psychological testing. The current study using a graduating sample (N = 120) sought to explore the psychological impact of selection process participation. Psychological impact was operationalised as the direct affect that taking part in a selection process, the procedures involved, and the subsequent outcome had on an applicant’s wellbeing. The influences of selection procedure type and language background on wellbeing were also examined. The present study hypothesised that wellbeing as measured by one’s test taking self-efficacy, general self-efficacy, satisfaction with life, and positive and negative affect would change across three separate time periods (Time 1. before a selection interview, Time 2. after a selection procedure, and Time 3. after receiving a selection decision). Language background, procedure type and selection decision were hypothesised to moderate any change found. Language background was additionally hypothesised to influence an applicant’s performance on the ability test. Once recruited, graduating students participated in a simulated selection process. Each applicant was randomly selected into one of four groups: 1) interview + cognitive ability testing, 2) interview + personality testing, 3) interview + cognitive ability plus personality testing, and 4) interview only. A longitudinal design was utilised, with participants completing questionnaires at the three time periods. Results suggested that there was a significant change in an applicant’s wellbeing from before commencing a selection process to after receiving a selection decision. The extent of the change was found to depend on the type of selection procedures completed, as well as the final selection decision (whether the applicant was selected or rejected). Wellbeing was not affected by an applicant’s language background, nor was there a difference on ability test scores between language background groups. The present study lends support to the notion that an applicant’s psychological health and future testing performance can be bolstered or harmed by participating in an employment selection process. Organisations and applicants should be made aware of the impact in order to overcome the potential negative effects.

description: Many multiparous dairy cows experience subclinical hypocal­cemia (SCH) in the immediate postpartum period as they adapt to the demands of lactation. Furthermore, differing dynamics of SCH in the days following parturition are associated with varied health and production outcomes, with cows experienc­ing transient SCH producing more milk and facing fewer nega­tive health events than cows with delayed or persistent SCH. Our objectives were to describe differences in mediators of Ca homeostasis between cows experiencing different dynamics of SCH.

An alternative interpretation of magnetars' traits deduced from the observational data on their outburst fluxes and spectra

Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: By applying the Efron-Petrosian method to the fluxes $S$ and distances $D$ of the magnetars listed in the Magnetar Outburst Online Catalogue, we show that the observational data are consistent with the dependence $S\propto D^{-3/2}$, which characterizes the emission from the superluminally moving current sheet in the magnetosphere of a non-aligned neutron star, at substantially higher levels of significance than they are with the dependence $S\propto D^{-2}$. This result agrees with that previously obtained by an analysis of the data in the McGill Online Magnetar Catalog and confirms that, contrary to the currently prevalent view, magnetars' X-ray luminosities do not exceed their spin-down luminosities. The X-ray spectra of magnetars, moreover, are congruous with the spectral energy distribution (SED) of a broadband non-thermal emission mechanism identical to that at play in rotation-powered pulsars: we show that the SED of the caustics that are generated in certain privileged directions by the magnetospheric current sheet single-handedly fits the observed spectra of 4U 0142+61, 1E 1841-045 and XTE J1810-197 over their entire breadths. Magnetars' outbursts and their associated radio bursts are predicted to occur when, as a result of large-scale timing anomalies (such as glitches, quakes or precession), one of the privileged directions along which the radiation from the current sheet decays more slowly than predicted by the inverse-square law either swings past or oscillates across the line of sight.

description: The objectives of this descriptive study were to 1) describe the pharmacokinetics of salicylic acid (SA) in the milk and plasma of postpartum dairy cattle following oral administration of ace­tylsalicylic acid (ASA) (aspirin); 2) to estimate a recommended milk withdrawal period for dairy cattle treated with ASA; and 3) to determine the impact of ASA administration on plasma prostaglandin E2 metabolite (PGEM) concentrations. Adminis­tration of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as the widely available drug aspirin, or acetylsalicylic acid (ASA), may improve health and milk production in postpartum dairy cows. However, plasma pharmacokinetic data for salicylic acid (SA), the active metabolite of ASA, are unrepresentative of lactating dairy cows and current treatment regimens, and there are cur­rently no published milk residue and minimal pharmacody­namic data available for ASA or SA in dairy cows.

description: High milk production at dry off is a risk factor for intramam­mary infections (IMI) postpartum due to milk leakage and im­paired formation of the keratin plug during the dry period. The use of acidifying agents at dry off can induce a temporary feed intake reduction and decrease in milk yield of high-producing dairy cows. Thus, acidogenic boluses are a potential tool to help maintain udder health around the dry period. The study aim was to evaluate the effects of the administration of acidogenic boluses at dry off on udder health.

Ausraelis - the diasporic identity of Israelis in Australia

description: Recently, communities of Israeli immigrants have been formed in Australia. Although Israeli immigrants in Australia now number over 10,000, their Israeli communities have been little studied. The diasporic identity of Israeli emigrants in Australia, termed ‘Ausraelis’ in this thesis, is the focus of this study. It explores questions about the national, religious and host-society affiliation components of that identity. The thesis is based on three data sources. The first are quantitative: the Australian-Jewish community survey (Gen08) which included 356 Israel-born respondents (out of almost 6,000 participants); the 2006 Australian Census; and data from 77 Israel-born participants amongst 602 Jewish immigrants, in a 2005 survey by Rutland and Gariano. The second are qualitative sources, collected in fieldwork: participant observation on the Tapuz online social forum for Israelis in Australia; 18 interviews; and the responses of participants in a focus group conducted for the Gen08 survey. The third are text-based sources and include: a review of Eton, the Israeli newspaper in Australia; literary sources in the form of fictional novels and memoirs. The methodological strategy chosen for analysis combines quantitative methods, mainly descriptive statistical analysis, subject-based categorisation and participant observation Examining the experiences of Israeli emigrants in Australia, the study points to a shift in the push-and-pull factors for immigration from familial to economic and security-laden motives. Also revealed is a sub-group of Ausraelis, the ‘desperate’, who challenge past paradigms and perceptions about emigration from Israel. Analysing the interaction of Ausraelis with the Jewish community, the study found that most Ausraelis can be categorised as peripherals, with relatively low levels of involvement in community activities. The social cohesiveness of the Israeli community in Australia was found to be relatively strong, despite its lack of an institutional basis. With regard to religious affiliation, the study identified most Ausraelis as seculars, who employ Israeli civil religion as the primary means for transmission of Israeli national identity to their children. The policy implications of the study point to the need for a new basis of interaction between the State of Israel and the established Jewish community on one hand, and between the established Jewish community and Israelis immigrants on the other
Small ruminant neonatal nutrition

neonatal nutrition

description: Loss of preweaned lambs and kids is a significant economic burden on small ruminant enterprises. Nutrition is an impor­tant factor impacting neonatal losses. Four critical nutritional phases can impact neonatal viability: maternal gestational diet adequacy, colostrum feeding, milk feeding and rumen develop­ment, and post-weaning feeding practices. As with any farm animal, consumption of adequate amounts of high-quality co­lostrum is the single most critical event in the life of a small ruminant. In contrast to dairy cattle, no guidelines defining volume and immunoglobulin (Ig) content for sheep and goat co­lostrum to ensure adequate passive transfer are available. Simi­larly, there are no well-defined criteria for determining success or failure of passive transfer in sheep and goats. The second most critical event of the neonatal small ruminant is adequate rumen development to facilitate a smooth transition during the weaning process. This presentation will address these 4 nutri­tional phases with emphasis on colostrum management prac­tices and rumen development as methods to improve neonatal survivability and viability.

description: As a service to our commercial clients, and with the popularity of “urban agriculture”, large and mixed animal practitioners are frequently called upon to evaluate and treat reproductive disorders of small ruminants. Often, these animals are owned by clients with no or very little previous exposure to animal ag­riculture. In many cases, it is the practitioner’s goal to simply educate these neophyte owners on normal reproductive physi­ology and basic animal husbandry.


Both sheep and goats are inherently very fertile when infec­tious diseases are controlled, proper nutrition provided, and environmental extremes mitigated. Both species typically re­produce very efficiently with little human intervention. Howev­er, as practitioners, we are called upon to investigate reproduc­tive maladies that may be commonplace or, especially as “pet” sheep and goats are kept well past traditional reproductive ages, disorders with which we may be unfamiliar.


This presentation will use a problem list as the basis for dis­cussion of how to troubleshoot a wide range of reproductive disorders of small ruminants. Because of the large depth and breadth of disorders one may encounter, a full discussion of each malady and its treatment is beyond the scope of this pre­sentation. Rather, a series of common client complaints will be listed followed by a discussion of a systematic approach to establishing a diagnosis or etiology. The specifics of treatment will not be discussed.

description: Pregnancy diagnosis in small ruminant species is crucial for the management of sheep and goats, particularly in commer­cial settings. There are many options for pregnancy diagnosis in these species, including ultrasonography and blood-based assays to detect pregnancy-associated glycoproteins. The meth­od used often depends on the availability of veterinary services to perform pregnancy diagnosis and the management goals of the herd or flock. Regardless of the method chosen, it should be economical for the producer, easily performed in field condi­tions, and highly accurate. Additional information on gestation­al age and fetal number allows for improved nutritional man­agement of the herd or flock to ensure adequate nutrition in the periparturient period to prevent metabolic disease such as pregnancy toxemia. Providing these diagnostic services can be an important source of revenue for the veterinarian while pro­viding invaluable information to aid small ruminant producers in improving profitability in their herds and flocks.

description: Alors que l’épidémie de Covid-19 se répand à travers le monde, les gouvernements et les autorités sanitaires nationales optent pour différentes stratégies, de la quarantaine au confinement à domicile avec ordre et contre-ordre au fil des heures, du contrôle systématique de la température en Hongrie, pour les voyageurs revenant de Chine, au dépistage de masse, de la fermeture des écoles en Italie du nord et de la suspension des liaisons aériennes avec la Chine, à l’annulation des rassemblements de plus de 5000 personnes en milieux confinés, en France, alors que la Suisse a suspendu tous les rassemblements de 1000 personnes, et que la Suède jugeant ces mesures inefficaces a décidé de ne pas les appliquer... La coordination européenne semble difficile à orchestrer, chaque état se mobilisant en temps réel au niveau intérieur, sans qu’aucun plan sanitaire européen ne semble avoir été pensé ou prévu, et c’est finalement, en France, le déclenchement par les autorités sanitaires du « plan blanc » à l’échelle départementale, qui incarne la lutte française contre la propagation de l’épidémie, tout comme le confinement à domicile de personnes revenant de « zones à risques » à définition variable et évolutive. Les points presse quotidiens rythment la vie des citoyens et les décomptes fleurissent sur les sites internet des ministères de la santé.

description: Multi-agent systems are trained to maximize shared cost objectives, which typically reflect system-level efficiency. However, in the resource-constrained environments of mobility and transportation systems, efficiency may be achieved at the expense of fairness -- certain agents may incur significantly greater costs or lower rewards compared to others. Tasks could be distributed inequitably, leading to some agents receiving an unfair advantage while others incur disproportionately high costs. It is important to consider the tradeoffs between efficiency and fairness. We consider the problem of fair multi-agent navigation for a group of decentralized agents using multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL). We consider the reciprocal of the coefficient of variation of the distances traveled by different agents as a measure of fairness and investigate whether agents can learn to be fair without significantly sacrificing efficiency (i.e., increasing the total distance traveled). We find that by training agents using min-max fair distance goal assignments along with a reward term that incentivizes fairness as they move towards their goals, the agents (1) learn a fair assignment of goals and (2) achieve almost perfect goal coverage in navigation scenarios using only local observations. For goal coverage scenarios, we find that, on average, our model yields a 14% improvement in efficiency and a 5% improvement in fairness over a baseline trained using random assignments. Furthermore, an average of 21% improvement in fairness can be achieved compared to a model trained on optimally efficient assignments; this increase in fairness comes at the expense of only a 7% decrease in efficiency. Finally, we extend our method to environments in which agents must complete coverage tasks in prescribed formations and show that it is possible to do so without tailoring the models to specific formation shapes.
