description: The aim of the present study was to investigate the hepatotoxic effects of accidental intravenous diethylene glycol (DEG) poisoning in patients with liver disease. Clinical manifestations were recorded and liver function tests were carried out for 64 patients with liver disease who had been accidentally treated intravenously with DEG. Comparisons were made between the poisoned and non-poisoned groups. Of the 64 cases with preexisting liver disease, 15 cases (23.4 %) developed toxic presentations after exposure to DEG. All cases were men. Twelve of the 15 poisoned patients (80 %)died within seven days. The intravenous administration of DEG resulted in only mild liver function impairment. Gender (p = 0.039) and the severity of jaundice prior to DEG administration were risk factors related to the occurrence of toxin-induced renal failure (p < 0.006). The results suggest that DEG may worsen liver damage in patients with preexisting liver disease. However, our study demonstrated only mild, transient alterations in patients’ baseline liver functions. Severe liver damage secondary to DEG was only occasionally seen in patients with concomitant renal failure.

description: We present a detailed study of the rest-optical (3600-7000 Angstrom) nebular spectra of ~380 star-forming galaxies at z~2-3 obtained with Keck/MOSFIRE as part of the Keck Baryonic Structure Survey (KBSS). The KBSS-MOSFIRE sample is representative of star-forming galaxies at these redshifts, with stellar masses M*=10^9-10^11.5 M_sun and star formation rates SFR=3-1000 M_sun/yr. We focus on robust measurements of many strong diagnostic emission lines for individual galaxies: [O II]3727,3729, [Ne III]3869, H-beta, [O III]4960,5008, [N II]6549,6585, H-alpha, and [S II]6718,6732. Comparisons with observations of typical local galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and between subsamples of KBSS-MOSFIRE show that high-redshift galaxies exhibit a number of significant differences in addition to the well-known offset in log([O III]/H-beta) and log([N II]/H-alpha). We argue that the primary difference between H II regions in z~2.3 galaxies and those at z~0 is an enhancement in the degree of nebular excitation, as measured by [O III]/H-beta and R23=log[([O III]+[O II])/H-beta]. At the same time, KBSS-MOSFIRE galaxies are ~10 times more massive than z~0 galaxies with similar ionizing spectra and have higher N/O (likely accompanied by higher O/H) at fixed excitation. These results indicate the presence of harder ionizing radiation fields at fixed N/O and O/H relative to typical z~0 galaxies, consistent with Fe-poor stellar population models that include massive binaries, and highlight a population of massive, high-specific star formation rate galaxies at high-redshift with systematically different star formation histories than galaxies of similar stellar mass today.

description: In the dynamics of the QCD critical point, the net-baryon fluid, linked to the slow component of the order parameter, relaxes to a 3d Ising system in equilibrium. An analytical study of shear and bulk viscosity, with constraints imposed by the dynamics of the critical net-baryon fluid, the universality property and the requirements of a class of strong coupling theories, is performed in the neighbourhood of the critical point. It is found that the shear viscosity of the net-baryon fluid is restricted in the domain $1.6\leq 4π\fracη{s}\leq 3.7$ for $T_c < T \leq 2T_c$ whereas the bulk viscosity is small, $4π\fracζ{s} < 0.05$ (for $T>1.27 T_c$) but rising towards the singularity at $T=T_c$.

description: We use the hydrodynamic, cosmological EAGLE simulations to investigate how hot gas in haloes condenses to form and grow galaxies. We select haloes from the simulations that are actively cooling and study the temperature, distribution, and metallicity of their hot, cold, and transitioning `cooling' gas, placing these in context of semi-analytic models. Our selection criteria lead us to focus on Milky Way-like haloes. We find the hot-gas density profiles of the haloes form a progressively stronger core over time, the nature of which can be captured by a beta profile that has a simple dependence on redshift. In contrast, the hot gas that will cool over a time-step is broadly consistent with a singular isothermal sphere. We find that cooling gas carries a few times the specific angular momentum of the halo and is offset in spin direction from the rest of the hot gas. The gas loses ~60% of its specific angular momentum during the cooling process, generally remaining greater than that of the halo, and it precesses to become aligned with the cold gas already in the disc. We find tentative evidence that angular-momentum losses are slightly larger when gas cools onto dispersion-supported galaxies. We show that an exponential surface density profile for gas arriving on a disc remains a reasonable approximation, but a cusp containing ~20% of the mass is always present, and disc scale radii are larger than predicted by a vanilla Fall & Efstathiou model. These scale radii are still closely correlated with the halo spin parameter, for which we suggest an updated prescription for galaxy formation models.

Identifiability is expected to be very rare. In this paper we conclude a work started more than a century ago and we describe all values of $d$ and $n$ for which a general polynomial of degree $d$ in $n+1$ variables is identifiable. This is done by classifying a special class of Cremona transformations of projective spaces.

description: We consider a scale-invariant helical magnetic field generated during inflation. We show that, if the mean magnetic helicity density of such a field is measured, it can be used to determine a lower bound on the duration of inflation. Upper bounds can be used to derive constraints on the minimal duration of inflation if one assumes that the magnetic field generated during inflation is helical. Using three-dimensional simulations, we show that an initially scale-invariant field develops, which is similar both with and without magnetic helicity. In the fully helical case, however, the magnetic field appears to have a more pronounced folded structure.

This thesis revisits the debate on hedge-fund performance by examining a number of scenarios. It employs novel quantitative methods and a large data sample consisting of 4,803 unique hedge funds covering a 20-year period from 1 January 1995 to 31 December 2014 to re-investigate three major interlinked aspects of hedge-fund performance. Sensitivity of ranking to different performance measures. Previous studies, based on a static approach, suggest that choice of performance measure does not affect hedge-fund ranking. Adding to the current literature, the thesis employs a dynamic approach through Fung and Hsieh’s (2004) eight-factor benchmark. It compares fund rankings based on the method of measurement, that is, absolute versus relative, and different benchmarks across1 various time horizons (36, 60, 120 and 180 months). The thesis finds that fund rankings differ across absolute and relative measures and more substantially in short-term horizons, which is a new result. Moreover, it also finds that the choice of benchmark does influence the ranking of funds. These results are robust in all investigation periods. Performance persistence. For the first time, the thesis assesses hedge-fund performance persistence using a variance ratio test approach. The analysis reveals that hedge-fund observed (smoothed) returns persist over periods of 1, 3, 6 and 12 months. However, the smoothing return bias is the main source of persistence, as the analysis finds very weak persistence in true (de-smoothed) returns. It also examines the persistence of the true alpha and finds similar results; however, the level of persistence in the true alpha is found to be higher than the level of persistence in the true return. The impact of fund characteristics on performance. Instead of restricting the analysis to a linear relationship between fee characteristics and performance at a single time horizon, the thesis also examines non-linear relationship across various time horizons (36, 60 and 120 months) using Friedman’s (1991) Multivariate Adaptive Regression Splines (MARS) for the first time. It finds evidence of a non-linear relationship between fees and performance. Significantly, the breakpoints, representing the minimum thresholds for a fund to commit to delivering superior results are endogenously identified by MARS and not exogenously imposed. The results reveal that management fees significantly and positively associate with hedge fund performance in the short term whereas incentive fees positively associate with hedge-fund performance in the long term.

description: The vertebrate 'neural plate border' is a transient territory located at the edge of the neural plate containing precursors for all ectodermal derivatives: the neural plate, neural crest, placodes and epidermis. Elegant functional experiments in a range of vertebrate models have provided an in-depth understanding of gene regulatory interactions within the ectoderm. However, these experiments conducted at tissue level raise seemingly contradictory models for fate allocation of individual cells. Here, we carry out single cell RNA sequencing of chick ectoderm from primitive streak to neurulation stage, to explore cell state diversity and heterogeneity. We characterise the dynamics of gene modules, allowing us to model the order of molecular events which take place as ectodermal fates segregate. Furthermore, we find that genes previously classified as neural plate border 'specifiers' typically exhibit dynamic expression patterns and are enriched in either neural, neural crest or placodal fates, revealing that the neural plate border should be seen as a heterogeneous ectodermal territory and not a discrete transitional transcriptional state. Analysis of neural, neural crest and placodal markers reveals that individual NPB cells co-express competing transcriptional programmes suggesting that their ultimate identify is not yet fixed. This population of 'border located undecided progenitors' (BLUPs) gradually diminishes as cell fate decisions take place. Considering our findings, we propose a probabilistic model for cell fate choice at the neural plate border. Our data suggest that the probability of a progenitor's daughters to contribute to a given ectodermal derivative is related to the balance of competing transcriptional programmes, which in turn are regulated by the spatiotemporal position of a progenitor.

The sociocultural role of mega teledramas: an ethnographic study on women consuming a Sri Lankan narrative television genre in Colombo and Melbourne

This thesis investigates the reception of a Sri Lankan narrative television genre – mega teledramas. While mega teledramas have been widely dismissed in Sri Lanka as low-brow entertainment, this study draws on ethnographic methods to investigate how the primarily female audiences, both within and outside of Sri Lanka actually engage with mega teledramas. It also investigates how the mega teledrama producers understand the meanings that they are constructing in the narratives. Through participant observations in women’s homes in Colombo, Sri Lanka and at a diasporic teledrama club in Melbourne, Australia, this study explores the diversities and contextualities of women’s engagements with mega teledramas, as well as analysing in-depth interviews with producers of mega teledramas and mega teledrama texts to understand the intentions of the narrative meanings they create. A key finding is that women’s engagements with mega teledramas cannot be generalised as passive. Moreover, this study observed how women were not confined to engaging with mega teledramas purely as texts. In contrast, mega teledramas assumed a sociocultural role in women’s everyday lives, in both localities. In many cases, consuming mega teledramas became a social act, contributing to women’s collective relationships and forming the basis of cultural identities. The ways mega teledramas formed meanings in women’s lives, in different contextualities, redefined the textual meanings that producers intended to create in the narratives. The methodology of this study, it will also be argued, makes a contribution to understanding how television reception can be researched, by identifying with domestic and diasporic consumption of homegrown popular genres.

description: The orthorhombically distorted perovskite NaMnF$_{3}$ has been predicted to become ferroelectric if an $a=c$ distortion of the bulk $Pnma$ structure is imposed. In order to test this prediction, NaMnF$_{3}$ thin films were grown on SrTiO$_{3}$ (001) single crystal substrates via molecular beam epitaxy. The best films were smooth and single phase with four different twin domains. In-plane magnetization measurements revealed the presence of antiferromagnetic ordering with weak ferromagnetism below the Néel temperature $T_N=66$ K. For the dielectric studies, NaMnF$_{3}$ films were grown on a 30 nm SrRuO$_{3}$ (001) layer used as a bottom electrode grown via pulsed laser deposition. The complex permittivity as a function of frequency indicated a strong Debye-like relaxation contribution characterized by a distribution of relaxation times. A power-law divergence of the characteristic relaxation time revealed an order-disorder phase transition at 8 K. The slow relaxation dynamics indicated the formation of super-dipoles (superparaelectric moments) that extend over several unit cells, similar to polar nanoregions of relaxor ferroelectrics.

‘Please don’t rush me’: an exploration of Somali women’s experiences of pregnancy and birthing in Melbourne, Australia

Year: 2023

description: Submission note: A thesis submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor Of Philosophy to the School of Humanities and Social Sciences, College of Arts, Social Sciences and Commerce, La Trobe University, Melbourne.

This thesis explores the experiences of pregnancy and birthing amongst Somali women living in Melbourne, Australia. As a result of the civil war that ensued in Somalia following the demise of the dictatorship there in 1991, large numbers of Somalis were forced to resettle throughout various parts of the world, including Australia. In the state of Victoria, Somali refugees resettled in a number of locations including the Melbourne suburbs of West Heidelberg, Carlton and Fitzroy. In these areas I conducted ethnographic research including participant observation and interviews. Over a period of two years, Somali women living in these locations were interviewed about their interactions with the Australian health system and the bio-medical model on which it is based. Drawing on the literature on the anthropology of birth, in particular critiques of the bio-medical model of care, the thesis examines the women’s views and experiences, particularly in relation to their interactions with the health system as found in Australia. Interviews with representatives of that health system, including doctors, support workers and midwives were also conducted revealing their own insights and experiences. Through the juxtaposition of contrasting models of care, questions were posed about how women’s experiences differed from what they had previously encountered in Somalia: where many women continue to give birth at home with the assistance of local midwives or traditional birth attendants. Only a minority of women in Somalia, mainly those living in urban areas, have access to hospitals or other medical facilities. For many women, therefore, the experience of pregnancy and birth is not usually understood in terms of surveillance or intervention as is the case in Australia. Instead, women highlighted the importance of support networks, agency and bodily integrity when discussing experiences of pregnancy and birth in the context of migration and resettlement. The thesis considers how Somali women have attempted to maintain or recreate these elements in Melbourne, Australia.

description: In the exact quantum query model a successful algorithm must always output the correct function value. We investigate the function that is true if exactly $k$ or $l$ of the $n$ input bits given by an oracle are 1. We find an optimal algorithm (for some cases), and a nontrivial general lower and upper bound on the minimum number of queries to the black box.

description: The homoeopathic system followed the principle of Similia Similibus Curantur. Most of the drugs in homoeopathic materia medica contains toxicological/pharmacological, Drug proving, traditional use related symptoms and indications. Abnormal sensations and symptoms of the disease caused by involvement of a specific receptor or molecular pathway & gene functions, these receptors or molecules may be stimulated or suppressed by environmental, natural or artificial agents. In such conditions, administration of specific homoeopathic medicine having a similar kind of affinity towards the particular receptors or molecules involved in the disease process leads to modulation of such receptor or molecular pathways (e.g., desensitization, sensitization, inhibition). These kinds of actions cause the betterment of symptoms or curative effects. The selection of medicine is by comparing the similarity between the receptor or molecular pathway in disease pathogenesis and drug pathogenesis..

Surface Tension: a novel that plots recovery and narrative therapy devices to articulate the heroine’s developmental journey

Publisher: name: La Trobe
Year: 2023

description: Submission note: This novel and exegesis are submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements for a Doctor of Philosophy to the School of Humanities and Social Sciences, College of Arts, Social Sciences and Commerce, La Trobe University, Bundoora.

This PhD project contains two parts. The first is a detective novel titled Surface Tension and the second is an exegesis that describes the methodologies I have utilised in writing the novel. I have written Surface Tension as a vehicle for social justice advocacy, with the objective to influence readers’ attitudes about people who experience serious mental health problems. Stigmatising and discriminatory discourses about mental illness are pervasive and often pose insurmountable challenges for people who are struggling to recover, and for whom such attitudes result in multiple human rights violations (Corrigan, 2005; Solomon, 2004). Surface Tension is intended to offer all the pleasures of a plot driven detective novel, while also taking readers on a moral journey. Surface Tension introduces readers to new ways of understanding forces that exclude people from being equal and participating citizens. The novel also provides alternative narratives about “recovery” to elicit reader identification and exposure to a new worldview. I have utilized the detective genre as a utility for representing social justice themes, because, as Cole argues, the genre’s very purpose is to examine moral and ethical terrains and the good/evil dyad (Cole, 2004, p. 86). She contends that the genre traditionally gives voice to society’s “less fortunate” and that this can function as a type of protest, offering new ways of seeing the sociopolitical world (Cole, p. 22).

COSTRUIRE E ABBATTERE BARRIERE: I modelli pedagogici per una scuola più equa e inclusiva
Creators: name: Lorenzato, Jessica
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022
Subjects: didattica, udl

description: Quando si sente la parola "apprendere", c’è chi pensa subito ad aule, insegnanti, programmi didattici, e alle altre componenti della scuola. Imparare è naturale come respirare. Dal momento della nascita, gli esseri umani sono attivamente coinvolti nell'apprendimento: cioè, nel dare un significato alla loro esperienza. Nei neonati e nei bambini piccoli, l'apprendimento può propriamente essere definito come un istinto biologico. Il problema principale con l’associare l’apprendimento alla scuola è che si comincia a pensare che l'apprendimento avvenga solo quando qualcuno ci sta insegnando qualcosa. Ma noi cominciamo a imparare molto prima di andare a scuola, e certamente non smettiamo di imparare nel momento in cui lasciamo l'edificio scolastico. Le Neuroscienze¹ dimostrano che ciascun individuo possiede un proprio stile, e modo, di apprendere: una modalità di acquisire conoscenze, ed elaborare ragionamenti, che non è influenzata soltanto dall’eventuale presenza di patologie o menomazioni, ma che deriva direttamente dai meccanismi di funzionamento cerebrale e dallo stesso ambiente di vita Il ruolo degli insegnanti è quello di fornire un accesso: senza trascinare gli studenti esponendoli a questo o quello, ma rendendo disponibili alcune opportunità e mettendole alla loro portata.
Rho meson decay in presence of magnetic field

description: We find a general expression for the one-loop self-energy function of neutral $ρ$-meson due to $π^+π^-$ intermediate state in a background magnetic field, valid for arbitrary magnitudes of the field. The pion propagator used in this expression is given by Schwinger, which depends on a proper-time parameter. Restricting to weak fields, we calculate the decay rate $Γ(ρ^0 \rightarrow π^+ +π^-)$, which changes negligibly from the vacuum value.

The yurt, the house, and the kolkhoz: collectivisation and its aftermath in Naryn
Creators: name: Boyanin, Yuri
Publisher: name: La Trobe
Year: 2023

description: Submission note: A History Postgraduate Dissertation submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy to the School of Humanities and Social Sciences, College of Arts, Social Sciences and Commerce, La Trobe University, Victoria.

I am writing this thesis about Naryn, a region tucked deep in the Tian Shan mountains of central Kyrgyzstan. I look at how Kyrgyz memory, community, religion, culture and agency confronted or adapted to Soviet collectivisation. I examine how a generation of Kyrgyz, raised under Stalinism remember, enact and make sense of their past; how people today imagine their community and identity. Much scholarly attention has been brought to the plight of pastoral communities in Kazakhstan. Much has been written on the ‘cottonisation’ of Central Asia, but little on the life and economy of mountainous pastoralists. A recurring theme in writing has been the breakdown of traditional authority and community, the uprooting of a century-old ‘nomadic’ lifestyle. A shallow consensus has emerged: pastoralism was destroyed irreversibly by an abusive, corrupt, exploitative state power, alien to the pastoralists and detrimental to their interests. Existing romanticised analyses of victimhood overlook how implementing a model of intensive pastoralism on the slopes of the Tian Shan and Pamir could have been achieved. The mountainous geography ensured the population remained culturally peripheral to Sovietisation. People may not have been spared the onslaught of Marxism-Leninism at school and the work place, but at home they were still indiferent, uncomprehending, and they enjoyed privacy. Collectivisation did not lead to the overall destruction of pastoral-nomadic life. Kyrgyz-Soviet rural culture became sedentary, but only in empty spoken formulae. In life, as it was really lived and imagined, Kyrgyz-Soviet rural culture remained nomadic. Furthermore, archival material reveals the settlement campaign, when it was launched in 1931, was frenzied, half-hearted, hectic, badly planned, under-funded and economically unviable.

description: We present the differential decay rates and the branching ratios of the muon decay with internal conversion, $μ\to e \, (e^+e^-) \, ν\barν$, in the Standard Model at next-to-leading order (NLO) in the on-shell scheme. This rare decay mode of the muon is among the main sources of background to the search for $μ\to eee$ decay. We found that in the phase space region where the neutrino energies are small, and the three-electron momenta have a similar signature as in the $μ\to eee$ decay, the NLO corrections decrease the leading-order prediction by about $10-20\%$
