Local Adaptation Signatures in Thermal Performance of the Temperate Coral Astrangia poculata
Creators: name: Aichelman, Hannah Elise
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University Libraries
Year: 2018

description: The Northern Star Coral (Astrangia poculata) is an understudied temperate scleractinian coral that provides unique opportunities to understand the roles of phenotypic plasticity and local adaptation in coral physiological tolerance limits. Astrangia poculata inhabits hard bottom ecosystems from the northwestern Atlantic to the Gulf of Mexico and withstands an annual temperature range up to 20°C. Additionally, A. poculata is facultatively symbiotic and co-occurs in both symbiotic (“brown”) and aposymbiotic (“white”) states. Here, brown and white A. poculata were collected from Virginia (VA) and Rhode Island (RI), USA and exposed to heat (18-32°C) and cold (18-6°C) temperature assays during which photosynthesis (P), respiration (R), and symbiont photochemical efficiency (Fv/Fm) were measured. Thermal performance curves (TPCs) of respiration revealed differences consistent with local adaptation of the RI and VA populations to their natal thermal environments. RI corals exhibited higher respiration rates overall, and higher respiration at 6, 15, 18, 22, and 26°C. Additionally, thermal optimum (Topt) analyses show a 3.76°C (brown) and 6.88°C (white) greater Topt in the VA population, corresponding to the warmer in situ thermal environment in VA. In contrast to respiration, no origin effect was detected in photosynthesis rates or Fv/Fm, suggesting a possible host-only signature of local adaptation. This study is the first to consider A. poculata’s response to both heat and cold stress across symbiotic states and geography and provides insight into the effects of future climate change on valuable hard bottom communities along the East Coast of the US.
A GIS-based approach to the characterisation of spatial accessibility to primary health care facilities in the Melbourne metropolitan area
Creators: name: Cui, Yujia
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: Easy access to location based primary health care facilities, like general practitioner (GP) and dental clinics and pharmacies, are essential to our wellbeing and quality of life. Adequate and equitable provision of primary health care to spatially dispersed population is a key objective and a real challenge for health policy makers in many developed countries, including Australia.

This study aims at examining the spatial distribution of population and primary health care facilities in the Melbourne metropolitan area (MMA) and providing accurate, up-to-date and reliable location-based measures of accessibility, as well as spatial variations in location disadvantages, as evidence for supporting spatial optimisation via planning and policy. The study deployed a GIS-based floating catchment area (FCA) method and incorporated network based travel impedance discounted with continuous distance decaying effects to measure spatial accessibility to primary health care facilities in the MMA. Fine resolution spatial data sets used in the study include mesh block level census data on both the total population and its three subgroups (children aged 0-4, females aged 15-44, and seniors aged 65+), detailed road network data, and carefully geocoded address locations of primary health care service provision facilities (GP clinics, pharmacies and dental clinics).

The study has revealed fine resolution spatial variations in accessibility to primary health care facilities and identified spatial clusters of residential areas with poor spatial accessibility to the facilities in the MMA. The findings from the study can be useful for efforts that aim at improving the spatial accessibility to primary health care facilities in these disadvantaged residential areas.

subject: Structural engineering

description: Due to the relatively high use of steel buildings in Iran and the importance of rigid steel beam-to-column connections, which are among the vital components in this type of buildings, the need to better understand the behavior of these connections against earthquakes has been noted; Also due to the special characteristics of the near-field earthquakes, which is different than far-field earthquakes and it has its own characteristics; and the fact that some catastrophic earthquakes occurred in Iran, such as the Bam earthquake (2003) and the Tabas earthquake (1978) had the characteristics of the near-field earthquakes, which can show the importance of the near-field ground motions; the purpose of this study was to propose a loading protocol for special steel moment- resisting frames under near-field earthquakes for Iran; therefore, first, by examining the earthquakes that have occurred in Iran during several years, near-field earthquakes have been selected. Steel buildings of 3, 5, 7, 9, 12 and 20 floors were designed and analyzed according to the rules and regulations of Iran, then for each of the designed steel buildings a critical frame was determined; the values of the scale factors are also specified. After performing nonlinear­ time‐history analysis and applying the proposed near-field ground motions to all of the critical frames, inter-story drift angles for all frames was obtained and compared; And the third floor of the 3-story critical frame was selected as the critical floor; Which is a story whose results will be used to construct a loading protocol; The basic rainflow counting and simplified rainflow counting were performed for the critical inter-story drift angles results; The proposed loading protocol are derived based on the MCE-level seismic hazard and 84th percentile values of key seismic demand parameters. These parameters are number of damaging cycles, maximum inter-story drift, sum of inter-story drift range, inter-story drift rangeand residual inter-story. The rationality of the proposed loading protocol was justified by showing the cumulative distribution function.

Knowledge management (KM) using enterprise resource planning (ERP) system
Creators: name: Chan, Eric
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: The construction industry has long been criticized as being not advance enough to use information communication technology (ICT) and slow to adopt knowledge management (KM). This research demonstrates how using an effective and efficient ICT systems can improve KM, and that an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system can be one tools to help improve KM. An ERP system is also a powerful tool to help integrate business processes which has particular use in the construction industry. The principle objective of this research was to explore the drivers and inhibiters that determined successful adoption and use of an ERP system at its actual implementation stage. Secondly, it aimed to identify successful factors of a partnering strategy and its integration into the ERP system. The third objective was to investigate the appropriate leadership style that influenced the ERP system and the partnering strategy, and to identify the impact of culture on the leadership style. The research was conducted within the context of a Hong Kong construction organization. This research makes a contribution in two spheres: PM and the construction industry. The first implication for PM theory is to illustrate how knowledge has been efficiently managed within a construction organization by using ICT/ERP.

Advancing project management by applying learning theories for designing and delivering professional education online
Creators: name: Strang, Kenneth
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: Online learning appeals to busy professionals and project managers (PMs) since demands from work, family, and personal interests compete with the desire to engage learning and finish courses. The thesis critically analyzes adult learning literature, then develops models, and tests the approaches at a commercial university. The professional learning model overcomes the gap in applied online learning design and delivery theories through a perspective transformation of the fundamental educational psychology principles, to shift the philosophy towards an integrated humanistic-constructivist paradigm. The key principles emphasized in this new approach are andragogical motivation, self-schema, self-efficacy, and self-regulation. A repeated-measures quasi-experiment was designed and conducted in a university online MBA program (n=48), using a scientific research methodology (that controlled confounding factors) to empirically test the professional learning factor model. Paired-treatment tests, factor covariances, coefficient of multiple determinations, and cause/effect multiple regression findings were statistically significant at the 95% confidence level (most tests exceeded 99%). A linear mathematical predictor and systemic model was substantiated from the concept testing, to quantitatively explain 66%(r²) of cause-effect variance between the contextual factors and dependent variables. These findings were compared to, and were in agreement with similar studies. The limitations of the quasi-experiments are small sample size, natural selection (as opposed to pure randomization), and generalizability to other contexts (models not yet replicated). The research makes a theoretical and empirical contribution to four stakeholder domains - Project Management (PM) professionals, adult educators, academic research community, and the PM body of knowledge. The first value claim consists of empirically proven online learning design and delivery guidelines, that can be applied and/or replicated. Secondly, the research multi-methods to decrease time-to-market for these multi-year experiments. Lastly the research evidence might promote the development of more 'soft-skills' content in PM

Continuous lines link standard errors obtained when running simulations with all three breeding nucleus sizes: 12, 24 and 36 maternal families. Simulations used genetic parameter set one, with a null genetic correlation between worker and queen effects and equal variances for both effects, using 200 replicates. The predicted and realized standard errors are similar.
title: Die Politische Partizipation der zweiten Generation von Flüchtlingen
Creators: name: Manzana-Marin, Anali
Year: 2009

description: Migration-Traumatisierung-Politische Partizipation. Diese Schlagwörter werden in dieser Forschungsarbeit in Zusammenhang gebracht in dem die politische Partizipation der zweiten Generation von Flüchtlingen am Beispiel der Exil-ChilenInnen in Wien untersucht wird. Zentrale Fragestellung dabei war zum einen wie stark das politische Bewusstsein der zweiten Generation ausgeprägt ist und zum anderen wie bzw. ob sich die Tatsache dass die Eltern politische Flüchtlinge sind, auf die politische Partizipation der Kinder auswirkt. Theoretischer Ausgangspunkt war die Annahme, dass die Elterngeneration aufgrund der Erlebnisse rund um ihre Flucht (Exil, Haft, Folter) Traumatisierungen aufweisen. Bestehende Literatur bestätigt das Phänomen der transgenerationalen Traumatisierung bei Kindern von politischen Flüchtlingen. So ist auch in dieser Arbeit die Annahme, dass die Traumatisierung der Eltern der zweiten Generation zumindest nicht verborgen bleibt und auch bei der politischen Ja/Nein-Partizipation eine Rolle spielen kann. Mittels qualitativer Befragungen der zweiten Generation und einer Expertin aus dem Bereich der Psychotherapie wurden die Hypothesen überprüft.

description: This study aims to identify the challenges and barriers faced by the Indonesian Audit board (BPK) and the Public Accounting Firm (KAP) in implementing the e- audit system. E-audit, which utilises BPK's data centre to combine electronic data from various entities such as state ministries, local governments, SOEs, and BUMDs, aims to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the state financial audit process. This concept, known as BPK Synergy, enables more efficient data recording, processing, exchange, utilisation and monitoring. The implementation of e-audit by BPK RI aims to streamline the planning and field inspection stages that were previously done manually. E-audit is designed to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of these audit stages. The implementation of e-audit provides a great opportunity for BPK and KAP in Indonesia to improve efficiency, accuracy, transparency, and service in state financial audit and public audit. However, challenges such as technological readiness, awareness of the importance of data security, and adequate workforce training must be overcome to optimise the benefits of e-audit.

Examination of the experiences of gifted preschool and primary age children
Creators: name: Grubb, Karen
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: This research is a Case Study of the experiences of two groups of gifted children, including two preschoolers (3-5 years old) and three primary age children (6 - 9 years old), and their families in Victoria. The children were selected utilising a multi-faceted approach to identification appropriate to their ages and stages of development. That is, both objective and subjective procedures were used which included teacher nomination, parent nomination and checklists for the identification of the children for the case study. The focus of the study was on the personal and educational experiences of these children, with a particular emphasis on recording the 'voice' of children who have been identified as gifted. Furthermore, this study examines the perspective of their families and the extent to which related support services for gifted children interact and influence the experi ences for these children.

The study has highlighted and confirmed that the gifted preschoolers and primary age children examined have specific personal and educational needs. Findings also confirmed that the 'lived' experiences of the gifted preschool children and primary age children were significantly influenced by the level of knowledge in gifted education of others who are largely responsible for their identification, education and support. Furthermore, this research identified an imbalance in the responsibility of parents when seeking support and resources for the personal and educational needs of their gifted child. In fact, the parents reported limited accessibility of appropriate information and resources for a number of reasons, but particularly when seeking assistance for their children in the preschool years.

The current study has confirmed that the most negative and harmful influence on the provision and development of services for these young gifted children has been the existence of common myths and misconceptions about giftedness. Further findings from this study have uncovered evidence that the preschool and primary age educational programs attended were not always providing appropriate educational experiences for these gifted children. In addition, the research reported that teacher knowledge about the gifted children, as well as individual teacher attitudes and feelings, were highly influential in the quality and provision of appropriate strategies and practices when catering for the educational needs of these gifted children.

Finally, this research recognised that there was a lack of educational provision effectively meeting the educational needs of the gifted children within the study.

Impact of foreign aid on development in Bangladesh
Creators: name: Obaydullah, Muhammad
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: The thesis examines the impact of aid on Bangladesh and the inability of aid to lay the foundations for the country’s solid economic growth. It is argued that while aid has helped to sustain the present levels of per capita national output, it has been relatively ineffective in inducing the qualitative changes needed for achieving significant increases in production and improvement in income distribution. Findings imply that donors have responded as a group to changes in Bangladesh’s development requirements but major donors have also responded both to the country’s development requirements as well as their own interests. Donors’ own interests hamper aid effectiveness in the country’s development endeavours. The thesis investigates whether aid to Bangladesh has exerted any impact on the country’s economic growth. Following recent literature, the thesis examines whether the impact of aid on growth is conditional upon measures of policy and governance. This has not been attempted intensely in the past aid effectiveness literature. The thesis disaggregates total aid into its various components to examine whether aid effectiveness is conditional upon the type of aid. Results indicate that there is little evidence that foreign aid alone has contributed to economic growth in a country. But there is some evidence that aid can be effective at increasing growth while a country has good governance and macroeconomic policy environment in place. Given that Bangladesh suffers from high incidence of poverty and that there is a large incidence of inequality and differences in well-being, the thesis studies the mix of donor policies aimed at promoting economic growth with the poverty situation in the country. Growth in Bangladesh has never been pro-poor, and the high level of inequality that prevails is likely to reduce the impact of growth on poverty. Findings indicate that the sectoral allocation of foreign aid to Bangladesh has been broadly consistent with a strategy to effectively reduce poverty and increase human well-being. However, the thesis suggests a number of ways in which foreign aid can more effectively achieve these important goals. The thesis concludes with a number of policy recommendations arising from the research findings. It is recommended that foreign aid be provided considering the humanitarian needs and that project aid preferred over budget support. To support growth, aid should be used to foster appropriate human development and a productive investment environment and to support government policies that are beneficial to those whom aid is targeted for.

description: The inverse Gaussian (IG) distribution is one of the most important distributions to analyse positive asymmetric data. However, the IG distribution does not have a closed form for its parametric quantile function, which hinders its utilization for quantile regression purposes. In this paper, we develop a particular fully parametric quantile regression model based on the IG distribution for modelling positive response variables in different quantiles. In particular, we propose a new and straightforward reparameterization of the IG distribution based on an approximation to its quantiles. In contrast to the original parameterization, the proposed parameterization leads to regression coefficients directly associated (approximately) with the quantiles of the response variable. We discuss the estimation of model parameters by maximum likelihood. A Monte Carlo experiment is conducted to evaluate the performance of these estimators in finite samples, examining the influence of outliers, and confirming that the proposed regression model seems to be a new robust alternative for modelling asymmetric positive real data. The effectiveness of our approach is illustrated with a dataset related to the price of cars in India. The results of our model with this dataset demonstrate the practical potential of the proposed parametric quantile regression model for fitting positive response variables.

title: Realitätskonstruktion in Online-Medien von Qualitätszeitungen
Creators: name: Zischka, Harald
Year: 2009

description: Diese wissenschaftliche Arbeit beleuchtet Realitätskonstruktion in Online-Medien von Qualitätszeitungen vor einem kommunikationswissenschaftlichen Hintergrund. Im Zentrum des Forschungsinteresses steht die Frage nach dem Beitrag zur subjektiven Realitätskonstruktion von abstrakten, politischen Begriffen den diese Online-Medien für ihre Rezipienten leisten. Die subjektive Erfahrbarkeit des Begriffes „Bulgarien“, die subjektive Verarbeitung von vermittelten Informations-Inhalten und die massenmediale Vermittelbarkeit sowie tatsächliche Vermittlung in hochkomplexen Kommunikations-Systemen werden an einigen der wichtigsten kommunikationswissenschaftlichen Theorien diskutiert, wie dem Agenda-Setting-Ansatz oder der Nachrichtenwert-Theorie. Am Beispiel der Berichterstattung vor dem Beginn der Beitrittsverhandlungen zur Europäischen Union wurden Online-Medien von Qualitätszeitungen aus Österreich, dem EU-Raum, aus dem sonstigen Europa und aus den USA innerhalb von ca. 2 Monaten täglich nach Stichworten-Varianten zu „Bulgarien“ abgefragt. Die aggregierten Daten wurden mit einer quantitativen Inhaltsanalyse empirisch ausgewertet. In der Hypothesen-Überprüfung werden u.a. Erkenntnisse zum Umfang, zur Diversifikation und zu den wichtigsten Themen der Berichterstattung über Bulgarien präsentiert und mögliche intervenierende Variablen diskutiert.

title: Der Einfluss der Medienberichterstattung auf das Image des Österreichischen Bundesheeres in der Öffentlichkeit
Creators: name: Schörghuber, Sarah
Year: 2009

description: Das zentrale Forschungsinteresse dieser Arbeit war der Versuch ein Bild des Österreichischen Bundesheeres in der Öffentlichkeit zu erfassen. Es sollte ver-sucht werden, den Zustand eines Images in einer medialen Öffentlichkeit sowie in einer Gesellschaft von Rezipienten zu erforschen. Dazu wurde aber nicht mit den Methoden der klassischen Imageforschung ge-arbeitet, sondern der Agenda-Setting-Ansatz herangezogen. Dieser besagt in der Theorie, dass die Reihenfolge der Wichtigkeit von Themen, die in den Me-dien behandelt werden, sich in der Meinung des rezipierenden Publikums - re-spektive der öffentlichen Gesellschaft - wieder findet beziehungsweise diese Themenranglisten oder Agendas sogar wieder spiegelt. Als Untersuchungsmaterial dienten dazu APA-Artikel als Grundlage für die Me-dienagenda, die quasi repräsentativ für die Zeitungsberichterstattung herange-zogen wurden. Den Gegenpart zur Medienagenda bildeten Umfragen des Bundesministeriums für Landesverteidigung, die erfragten, welche Vorstellungen die Österreicher von einem Heer haben und als Basis für die Publikumsagenda untersucht wur-den. Demnach die Untersuchung der Thematik gänzlich auf die Berichterstattung über das Österreichische Bundesheer eingeschränkt war, ergab sich durch die Analyse der Zeitungsartikel eine Rangliste von Eigenschaften, welche ein Bild von einem Österreichischen Heer transportiert. Dieses wurde dann verglichen, mit den Ranglisten der Eigenschaften, die das Publikum sich von einem Heer erwartet. Die Ergebnisse bewiesen zwar den Agenda-Setting-Prozess nicht vollkommen, ließen aber die Vermutungen offen, dass es sehr wohl eine Tendenz gibt, die einen Einfluss der Ranglisten in der Berichterstattung auf die Prioritätenreihen des Publikums zeigt. Weiters wurden die Wertigkeiten der Artikel erhoben, sowie eine Frage aus den Umfragedaten verwendet, die sich danach erkundigt, wie zufrieden die Bevölke-rung mit der Aufgabenerfüllung des Österreichischen Bundesheeres ist. Der Vergleich brachte hier das Ergebnis, dass das Image des Österreichischen Bundesheeres in der Öffentlichkeit besser ist, als die Zeitungsberichterstattung es darstellt. Die Erkenntnisse dieser Untersuchung lassen interessante Fragen offen für weitere Untersuchungen, die aufbauend auf diese Forschungsarbeit möglich wären.

description: Most adjoint-based optimization frameworks only consider aerodynamic performance and constraints, leading to designs that need to pass through revisions by structural requirements. Only in recent years, adjoint optimization frameworks have been extended to include structural constraints. These frameworks also make use of CAD-based parametrizations to maintain a connection to the master CAD geometry and to serve as the connection between the fluid and solid domains.

In this work, a CAD-based adjoint multidisciplinary optimization framework for turbomachinery components is presented. A CAD-based parametrization is used for defining the shape freedom, from which the fluid and solid grids are generated, and a Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes solver is used to compute the efficiency. The maximum von Mises stress is computed using a linear stress solver based on the Finite Element Method. The CFD and stress solvers each have adjoint capabilities, permitting an efficient computation of gradients at a cost independent of the size of the design space.

An adjoint optimization of a radial turbine is performed with the objective of maximizing the aerodynamic efficiency while adhering to the structural constraints. Results show that within a reduced design time an aerodynamic optimal design can be achieved whilst keeping the mechanical stresses within range of the prescribed tolerance.

title: Humor und Geschlechterverhältnis im Unterhaltungsformat "Dancing Stars"
Creators: name: Sobotka, Marie-Luise
Year: 2009

description: Ziel dieser Diplomarbeit ist die Rekonstruktion von Unterhaltungs- bzw. Humortypen eines sehr populären Fernseh-Formats („Dancing Stars“) aus den Bewertungssequenzen der Show mittels Bildanalysen und Textinterpretation. Die Studie ist nach den Prinzipien der Dokumentarischen Methode nach Ralf Bohnsack verfasst. Zur Typenerstellung war es notwendig, die (noch kaum erprobte) Dokumentarische Videointerpretation zu erschließen. Drei Typen der Unterhaltungs- bzw. Humorgenerierung wurden rekonstruiert: Verweise auf Geschlechterbeziehungen, Selbst- und Fremdcharakterisierungen. Diese drei Typen umfassen weitere zwölf Varianten. Die Arbeit liefert einen detaillierten Überblick zur Tanzshow „Dancing Stars“: Sendungsablauf, Entwicklung und internationale Verbreitung des Formats, Ähnlichkeiten und Unterschiede zu anderen Casting- Formaten, Daten zur analysierten zweiten Staffel der Sendung (Sendeplatz, Einschaltquoten, Mitwirkende), Daten zur Berichterstattung über die Show und einen Abriss zum Thema Gesellschaftstanz. Des Weiteren wird unter den theoretischen Grundlagen die Dokumentarische Methode und die dokumentarische Bild- sowie Videointerpretation beschrieben. Um in die Methode eintauchen zu können wurde je eine exemplarische Video- und Bildinterpretation zur Orientierung in die Arbeit aufgenommen, bevor die Ergebnisse der Studie präsentiert werden.
