description: Title: The experiences of children diagnosed with a life-threatening or life-limiting illness Background: Exploring children’s experiences when diagnosed with a life-threatening or life-limiting diagnosis is essential in offering appropriate care for them. Although a number of studies have been conducted to explore the experiences of children diagnosed with serious illnesses, there are limited studies which explored the experiences of both children and parents who were from the same cohort in a palliative care setting. The study was conducted in Romania, which is situated in the Southeastern Europe, where paediatric palliative care is in its infancy. Aim: To advance the understanding of the experiences of children diagnosed with life-threatening or life-limiting conditions through both their first-hand accounts and those of their parents in a palliative care setting. Method: A qualitative study was conducted with ten children diagnosed with life-threatening or life-limiting illnesses using in-depth interviews. Interviews were also held with the parents who were the main carer for the child to give an additional perspective of the experiences of their children regarding their illness. The interview data were analysed using thematic analysis. Findings: The data produced six major themes: awareness of the illness, death and dying, the spiritual response to illness, the emotional response to illness, striving for normality and independence and coping strategies. There is a gap in the child’s experience and understanding compared to what their parents believe they know. Awareness contexts and developmental theory were used as frameworks to discuss the experiences of children diagnosed with a life-threatening or life-limiting illness from both their perspective and that of their parents. Results suggest that awareness contexts are not fixed and children can at times move back and forth from one context to another. Results also indicate that children are able to understand and describe their experiences related to their illness depending on their developmental stage as well as personal experiences. Conclusion: This study makes a unique contribution to knowledge as it is the first study to present the perspectives of both parents and children diagnosed with life-threatening and life-limiting conditions in receipt of palliative care.

description: The quantum speed limit sets a bound on the minimum time required for a quantum system to evolve between two states. For open quantum systems this quantity depends on the dynamical map describing the time evolution in presence of the environment, on the evolution time τ , and on the initial state of the system. We consider a general single qubit open dynamics and show that there is no simple relationship between memory effects and the tightness of the quantum speed limit bound. We prove that only for specific classes of dynamical evolutions and initial states, there exists a link between non-Markovianity and the quantum speed limit. Our results shed light on the connection between information back-flow between system and environment and the speed of quantum evolution.

description: A novel trimeric cationic surfactant (TEC) has been investigated to use as a hydraulic fracturing fluid thickener with thermal stability. TEC was synthesized with trimethylolpropane triglycidyl ether, erucamidopropyl dimethylamine and hydrochloric acid at 50.0 °C for 7.0 h. The product was compounded with potassium chloride (KCl) for an optimized formulation to form viscoelastic micelles with high-temperature resistance. The apparent viscosity of 5.0 wt%TEC/1.2 wt%KCl fluid remains 23.1 mPa·s after shearing for 90.0 min at 160.0 °C and 100.0 s−1. Three-dimensional (3 D) networks formed by entangled worm-like micelles (WLMs) were observed by an environmental scanning electron microscope. The TEC/KCl solution has a simple formulation and excellent rheological properties, which enriches the viscoelastic surfactant (VES) fracturing fluid class with high-temperature resistance.

description: Human Immunodeficiency Virus/Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (HIV/AIDS) has emerged as a major global health threat in the last three decades (UNAIDS and WHO, 2013). Mother-To-Child Transmission (MTCT) of HIV increases the risk of HIV being transmitted from high risk populations to the general population, taking a heavy toll on children’s health (UNICEF, 2013). Prevention of MTCT (PMTCT) measures have effectively reduced the risk of MTCT in many developed countries; however difficulties in service delivery and various access issues impede implementation of PMTCT in resource limited countries (UNICEF and WHO, 2013), including China. Hence, it is imperative that we investigate better ways to implement PMTCT to reduce the risk of MTCT of HIV. A priority strategy to reduce MTCT of HIV promoted by WHO is the integration of HIV prevention and treatment services with maternal and child health services (WHO, 2011b). This requires a shift in the management model from providing stand-alone prevention of HIV services to integrative PMTCT services. However, the effectiveness of integrated PMTCT services delivery is uneven across different health service systems around the world (Youngleson et al., 2010). In particular, delivery of integrated services is very difficult in complex health systems such as that in China.

description: Background In an outbreak of hepatitis A among men who have sex with men (MSM) in Berlin (2016 and 2017), patients frequently reported anonymous sex and use of dating applications to meet sexual contacts, hampering tracing and vaccination of contacts. Aim Our objective was to evaluate dating apps and websites as a means of spreading prevention messages among MSM during the ongoing outbreak. Methods Advertisements in different formats were placed on three MSM dating apps and eight websites for anonymous dating during three weeks in March and April 2017. We calculated frequency of ads shown and click-through rates (CTR) and investigated the independent effect of format and platform on the number of clicks using a negative binomial regression model. We evaluated the campaign’s impact using a survey among visitors of a large gay-lesbian street-festival in Berlin. Results Overall, 1,920,180 ads were shown and clicked on 8,831 times (CTR = 0.46%). The multivariable model showed significantly more clicks on one dating app (incidence rate ratio (IRR) = 9.5; 95% confidence interval (CI): 7.7–12.2) than on websites and on full-screen ads (IRR = 3.1; 95% CI: 2.5–3.8) than on banner ads. Of 266 MSM who participated in the survey, 190 (71%) knew about the outbreak and 39 (15%) declared to have been vaccinated recently because of the campaign. Conclusions Dating apps provided a means to rapidly reach and influence a substantial number of MSM in Berlin and should complement case-based contact tracing among MSM in outbreak settings. Clicking on ads depended on platform and format used.

description: From frontline direct action to collective care strategies, Do-It-Yourself culture is a core element in grassroots activist communities. This PhD thesis explores the creative manifestations of DIY ethos in activist culture and practice across select regions in three countries: Australia, Indonesia, and the Philippines. Using a cross-cultural analysis between the three countries, this research seeks to understand how DIY is used to empower local communities, wield resistance, and circumvent the restrictions of a global pandemic. This thesis offers a novel contribution to the field of social movement studies as it probes the multi-faceted connection between DIY ethos and activist culture, which is largely missing from the literature on activism in this field. It also places three countries in dialogue with one another on a range of important issues, such as digital literacy, gender inequality, accessibility, and strategies of collective care. [...]

description: This research employs creative practice to develop a screenwriting framework for writing antiheroines for the erotic thriller film genre. It comprises the creative artefact, the screenplay titled Perfect Wife, and this exegesis, which underpins and contextualises the screenplay and incrementally develops the “Genre Screenwriting Practice Framework”, thus contributing to the academic field of script development and screenwriting as creative practice. The research findings aim to assist screenwriters in the development of antiheroine protagonists for the erotic thriller genre as well as the genre itself. Drawing from transdisciplinary fields including script development, screen studies, and film genre theory, “Writing Antiheroines for the Erotic thriller” follows my creative journey in the development of the female version of the erotic thriller antihero, a figure who arguably is yet to be seen in mainstream erotic thriller feature films.
Varying the Horndeski Lagrangian within the Palatini approach

description: We analyse what happens when the Horndeski Lagrangian is varied within the Palatini approach by considering the metric and connection as independent variables. Assuming the connection to be torsionless, there can be infinitely many metric-affine versions $L_{\rm P}$ of the original Lagrangian which differ from each other by terms proportional to the non-metricity tensor. After integrating out the connection, each $L_{\rm P}$ defines a metric theory, which can either belong to the original Horndeski family, or it can be of a more general DHOST type, or it shows the Ostrogradsky ghost. We analyse in detail the subclass of the theory for which the equations are linear in the connection and find that its metric-affine version is ghost-free. We present a detailed classifications of homogeneous and isotropic cosmologies in these theories. Taking into consideration other pieces of the Horndeski Lagrangian which are non-linear in the connection leads to more complex metric-affine theories which generically show the ghost. In some special cases the ghost can be removed by carefully adjusting the non-metricity contribution, but it is unclear if this is always possible. Therefore, the metric-affine generalisations of the Horndeski theory can be ghost-free, but not all of them are ghost-free, neither are they the only metric-affine theories for a gravity-coupled scalar field which can be ghost-free.

Negotiating ethnicity and religiosity : Chinese Muslim identities in post- new order Indonesia

description: This thesis describes and analyses the emergence of Chinese Muslim cultural identities in post-New Order Indonesia. I investigate how and under what conditions, Chinese Muslims construct and negotiate their ethnicity and religiosity, both individually and collectively, in their public and everyday lives, though I do no treat them as a bounded ethno-religious group. Recently, Chinese Muslim cultures in Indonesia have been objectified in symbols (e.g. Chinese-style mosques), embodied in organisations (e.g. Indonesian Chinese Muslim Association, PITI), represented in popular media (e.g. Chinese preachers), and performed in rituals (e.g. celebration of Chinese New Year). Chinese Muslim leaders promote their unique identities in contemporary Indonesia through rearticulation of their histories and cultivation of ties to Muslims in China. Their motivations for projecting these images include the fostering of ethnic intermingling (pembauran) and the facilitating of religious preaching (dakwah). Yet, there is often a distinction between their public performances and everyday practices, as their open displays of Chinese culture and Islamic piety may not always be replicated in the home. Also; the intentional mixing of Chineseness and Islam does not reflect all aspects of the multilayered and multifaceted identities of Chinese Muslims. Despite the relatively small number of Chinese Muslims, studying their identities helps us to better understand the 'Islamic resurgence' and 'Chinese euphoria' in Indonesia today. It also gives us insights into the possibilities and limitations of ethnic and religious cosmopolitanism. First, the rise of Chinese Muslim cultures reflects the acceptance of Chinese culture in Indonesian society, and the tolerance of Islam towards different cultural expressions. Second, although encompassed by ethnic stereotypes and religious conservatism, Chinese Muslim cultures embrace a limited kind of inclusive Chineseness and cosmopolitan Islam, in which the assertion of Chinese identity and Islamic religiosity does not necessarily imply racial segregation and religious exclusion. Third, Chinese Muslim cultures reconcile the perceived incompatibility between Islam and Chineseness, as well as open up more space for identity contestation, but do not necessarily pluralise Islamic discourses. Paradoxically, while there is an increasing acceptance of cultural and religious diversity among many Muslim leaders, there is also a rising intolerance of religious intermingling and intra-religious differences within some sections of Indonesian Muslim society. Last of all, I use the notion of flexible piety to examine fluid Islamic religiosity, and the concept of multiple identifications to reveal the shifting ethnicity among Chinese Muslim converts according to their living contexts.

description: Phytophthora is a genus of oomycetes that cause extensive crop damage and economic loss. Specific proteins from the host and pathogen facilitate their interaction and mediate a multifaceted mechanism in infection. In this study, we utilized published protein protein interactions between Phytophthora and its hosts for developing a model for prediction. We applied supervised learning algorithms- Support vector machine (SVM) and Ensemble methods to predict interactions.Different features of proteins in host and pathogen proteins like amino acid composition, dipeptide composition, pseudo amino acid composition, amphiphilic pseudo amino acid composition, C/T/D, conjoint triads, autocorrelation, sequence order coupling number, quasi-sequence order descriptors were utilized to develop the model for the binary classification, whether the proteins interact or not. The relative importance of different protein features in the training model were also evaluated. SVM with radial kernel had an accuracy of 75%. Bagging algorithm Random Forest showed an accuracy of 84.6%. A GLM ensemble of K-Nearest Neighbour (KNN), SVM (radial), rpart and random forest gave an accuracy of 70.1%. The model developed can be trained with more experimentally validated interactions to improve the accuracy. Furthermore we constructed a protein-protein interaction network of host and pathogen proteins to depict the interaction network operating during pathogenesis and evaluated the network topology. The results of the study may be taken forward for experimental validation.

description: Over the past two decades, executive remuneration has been a topic of considerable controversy. The perceived inability of boards of directors to set optimal executive pay, together with the revelation of corporate scandals and subsequent collapse of high-profile companies, has fuelled intense public debates about executive pay. Regulators here and abroad have been forced to address these growing concerns. With the view to improving the accountability of executive pay and to restraining ‘excessive’ executive pay, Australia introduced the Corporations Amendment (Improving Accountability on Director and Executive Remuneration) Act 2011, with effect from 1 July 2011. Unlike previous legislation, under which shareholders’ votes on remuneration reports were non-binding, this new ‘say on pay’ (SOP) legislation, widely known as the ‘two-strikes’ rule in Australia, has specific and predictable consequences. Under this new rule, the board of directors (except the chief executive officer) of a firm listed on the Australian Securities Exchange may potentially face re-election if the remuneration report receives 25% or more ‘no’ votes at the Annual General Meeting in two consecutive years.

description: A beam physics model server (Art++) has been developed for the Jefferson Lab accelerator. This online model server is a redesign of the ARTEMIS model server. The need arose from an impedance mismatch between the current requirements and ARTEMIS capabilities. The purpose of the model server is to grant access to both static (machine lattice parameters) and dynamic (actual machine settings) data using a single programming interface. A set of useful optics calculations (R-matrix, orbit fit, etc.) has also been implemented and can be invoked by clients via the model interface. Clients may also register their own dynamic models in the server. The server interacts with clients using the CDEV protocol and data integrity is guaranteed by a relational database (Oracle8i) accessed through a persistence layer. By providing a centralized repository for both data and optics calculations, the following benefits were achieved: optimal use of network consumption, software reuse, and ease of maintenance.

description: Hiscock and Weems showed that under Hawking evaporation, an isolated asymptotically flat Reissner-Nordstrom (RN) black hole evolves in a surprising manner: if it starts with a relatively small value of charge-to-mass ratio Q/M, then said value will temporarily increase along its evolutionary path, before finally decreases towards zero. This contrasts with highly charged ones that simply radiate away its charge steadily. The combination of these two effects is the cosmic censor at work: there exists an attractor that flows towards the Schwazschild limit, which ensures that extremality -- and hence naked singularity -- can never be reached under Hawking evaporation. We apply the scheme of Hiscock and Weems to model the evaporation of an asymptotically flat dilatonic charge black hole known as the Garfinkle-Horowitz-Strominger (GHS) black hole. We found that upholding the cosmic censorship requires us to modify the charged particle production rate, which remarkably agrees with the expression obtained independently via direct computation of charged particle production rate on curved spacetime background. This not only strengthens the case for cosmic censorship, but also provides an example in which cosmic censorship can be a useful principle to deduce other physics. We also found that the attractor behavior is not necessarily related to the specific heat, contrary to the claim by Hiscock and Weems.

description: The realities associated with adjusting to working and living in a culturally diverse country and a new work environment brings with it challenging experiences for the Indian IT expatriate. This research explores the influence that organisational factors, prior to the assignment such as selection, pre-departure training, prior international experiences and time to prepare, as well as initial and ongoing organisational support in the host country, have on Indian IT expatriates at client sites who are on an international assignment in Australia. One of the major challenges facing Indian IT multinational companies (MNCs) is the high turnover rates among IT workers, thus making this research significant in understanding MNCs role, in terms of the cross cultural preparation and support systems provided to expatriates, that assist them prior and during the international assignment. The IHRM expatriation and adjustment literature has mainly focused on Western managerial orthodoxy and on expatriate managers going to work at their subsidiary offices. The current research worked to bridge this gap by studying a different kind of expatriate, namely IT workers at client sites and different migration context- temporary emigrant from the emerging economy of India. The research attempts to address this issue by posing the research question of ‘How do Indian IT expatriates experience their overseas assignment?’ through semi-structured interviews with two datasets and using the two theories; namely Met Expectations Theory and Perceived Organisational Support Theory. In an international context where IT workers are at client sites, it is argued that having accurate expectations of the assignment is critical for their success. These two theories will be used as a foundation for the current research investigation.

By relating the reflection coefficient of a microwave with the dynamic susceptibility of the subohmic spin-boson system, we clarify the appearance of quantum critical phenomena in microwave scattering. Further, we propose experimental setups to realize the subohmic spin-boson system in a superconducting circuit composed of a charge qubit and a dissipative transmission line.

description: The fragment production in multifragmentation of finite nuclei is affected by the critical temperature of nuclear matter. We show that this temperature can be determined on the basis of the statistical multifragmentation model (SMM) by analyzing the evolution of fragment distributions with the excitation energy. This method can reveal a decrease of the critical temperature that, e.g., is expected for neutron-rich matter. The influence of isospin on fragment distributions is also discussed.

description: The dynamics of pigment-pigment and pigment-protein interactions in light-harvesting complexes is studied with a novel approach which combines molecular dynamics (MD) simulations with quantum chemistry (QC) calculations. The MD simulations of an LH-II complex, solvated and embedded in a lipid bilayer at physiological conditions (with total system size of 87,055 atoms) revealed a pathway of a water molecule into the B800 binding site, as well as increased dimerization within the B850 BChl ring, as compared to the dimerization found for the crystal structure. The fluctuations of pigment (B850 BChl) excitation energies, as a function of time, were determined via ab initio QC calculations based on the geometries that emerged from the MD simulations. From the results of these calculations we constructed a time-dependent Hamiltonian of the B850 exciton system from which we determined the linear absorption spectrum. Finally, a polaron model is introduced to describe quantum mechanically both the excitonic and vibrational (phonon) degrees of freedom. The exciton-phonon coupling that enters into the polaron model, and the corresponding phonon spectral function are derived from the MD/QC simulations. It is demonstrated that, in the framework of the polaron model, the absorption spectrum of the B850 excitons can be calculated from the autocorrelation function of the excitation energies of individual BChls, which is readily available from the combined MD/QC simulations. The obtained result is in good agreement with the experimentally measured absorption spectrum.

A standard structured cable system will be installed. The decreasing cost of network switches will enable SNS to push the edge switches out near the networked devices and to run high-speed fiber communications all the way to the edge switches. Virtual Local Area Network VLAN) technology will be used to group network devices into logical subnets while minimizing the number of switches required. Commercially available single-board computers with TCP/IP interfaces will be used to provide terminal service plus remote power reboot service.

description: We report low-temperature muon spin relaxation/rotation (muSR) measurements on single crystals of the actinide superconductor UTe2. Below 5 K we observe a continuous slowing down of magnetic fluctuations that persists through the superconducting (SC) transition temperature (Tc = 1.6 K), but we find no evidence of long-range or local magnetic order down to 0.025 K. The temperature dependence of the dynamic relaxation rate down to 0.4 K agrees with the self-consistent renormalization theory of spin fluctuations for a three-dimensional weak itinerant ferromagnetic metal. Our muSR measurements also indicate that the superconductivity coexists with the magnetic fluctuations.

description: Cancer is second only to cardiovascular disease in the number of deaths every year and millions of deaths are caused by cancer globally. Current therapies for many cancers are still not sufficient to achieve a long term cure. One of the important hallmarks of cancer is rapid cell division. Another hallmark of cancer is avoidance of senescence. Telomere stabilisation facilitates rapid cell division and is one of various factors that contribute to the avoidance of senescence. Telomeres are tandemly repeated sequences found at the end of eukaryotic chromosomes. Telomerase is an enzyme complex that extends telomeric repeat sequences, protects cells from senescence and has a major role in the acquisition of high proliferative potential by cancer cells. Thus, down-regulation of expression of the catalytic subunit of telomerase may be an effective way to treat cancer. Interventions that target cancer metabolism can also prevent proliferation of cancer cells. Downregulation of expression or complete silencing of expression of those genes which encode products that are essential for cancer metabolism is one of the key future strategies for cancer treatment. In this regard, the products of genes including lactate dehydrogenase A (LDHA), monocarboxylate transporter 1 (MCT1), cluster of differentiation 147 (CD147) and pyruvate kinase isoenzyme 2 (PKM2) are critically required for aerobic glycolysis and are possible targets for cancer therapy. Upregulation of expression of these gene products favours tumour progression. Thus, silencing the expression of these gene products may provide a non-conventional approach for cancer treatment.

Understanding the role and value of experience for environment conservation

description: This thesis is an exploration of the nature of environmental conservation and how more effective conservation practice can be achieved. Much of the context of the thesis stems from a desire to develop a personal understanding of the relative contributions of science and experience for informing conservation management. This desire grew from my own previous experience of conservation work where there were always difficulties obtaining relevant information and translating it into a form in which it could be applied effectively. In many cases, significant gaps in information meant that relying on experience and good judgement was often the only possible way forward. While the thesis concentrates on developing understanding about the nature, role and value of experience, an additional personal aim was to broaden my understanding about conservation issues generally, and of other disciplines and research methods. To represent the personal development of understanding about conservation and experience, chapters are presented in the order in which they were written or data collected. The thesis is therefore not intended to be a linear progression through theory, data collection, analysis and interpretation of results. Instead, chapters have been written as stand-alone pieces of work, and were generally completed before beginning the next chapter. Later chapters would not have been conducted without insights from previous ones, and diagrams in some of the sections are used to clarify interconnections between chapters. Because the thesis relies on insights from a wide range of disciplines, it does not conform to the traditional biological scientific study. All of the main chapters, including the synthesis, have been written with publication in mind: Chapters 2-3 are in press; Chapters 5 and 7 have been submitted to journals; and Chapters 4, 6 and 8 are in preparation and will be submitted by April 2005. In addition, Appendices I-III are publications that have been written during the course of the PhD. These papers do not relate directly to the central theme of the thesis, but they have contributed to my understanding about environmental conservation and the development of appropriate conservation theory. Becanse the main chapters are intended to be stand-alone pieces of work which were written with particular journals in mind, the chapters have minor stylistic differences. For example, some chapters nse U.K. spelling and others American, and chapters may use either the tenn "environmental conservation" or "conservation biology". Because the chapters stand-alone, some repetition between chapters was unavoidable.
