Mg II absorbing galaxies: morphologies and kinematics
Creators: name: Churchill, Chris

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: In this contribution, we review our current knowledge of the properties of galaxies, and their extended halos, selected by Mg II absorption in the spectra of background quasars. We then describe recent efforts to quantify the morphologies and orientations of galaxies and explore how these relate to the gas kinematics. In a sample of 26 galaxies, we find no clear connection between the orientation of the quasar line of sight through the galaxy and the velocity spread of the gas. However, it appears that the quantity of gas 'stirred up' in the halo may be correlated to asymmetry in the galaxy morphology. Since the galaxies have fairly normal morphologies, this connection may suggest that galaxies with extended halos experienced an interaction or merging event a few dynamical times prior to the epoch of observation.

description: В докладе представлены предварительные результаты аналитической работы по выявлению источников самоуправленческой пассивности сельского населения, сельской и студенческой молодежи. Выявляется важное отличие самоуправленческого поведения сельской и студенческой молодежи от поведения взрослых сельских жителей, а именно: их приверженность к обнародованию своих позиций в отношении решений местной власти в СМИ, в сети Интернет, на митингах и демонстрациях, в пикетах. Раскрывается необходимость овладения респондентами самоуправленческими компетенциями, то есть необходимость трансформации теоретического знания, в неодинаковой степени присущего разным группам обследованных, в умения, применение которых предусматривается в новом российском законодательстве.
Ключевые слова: местная власть, самоуправленческая активность и пассивность, прямое и косвенное влияние населения на местную власть, студенческое самоуправление.

description: Eucalyptus pellita is known as attractive biomass, and it has been utilized for eucalyptus oil, furniture, and pulp and paper production that causes a significant amount of byproducts. Liquid hot water treatment depending on combined severity factor (CSF) was subjected to isolate hemicellulose fraction from E. pellita and to produce xylooligosaccharides (XOS). The xylan extraction ratio based on the initial xylan content of the feedstock was maximized up to 77.6% at 170 °C for 50 min condition (CSF: 1.0), which had accounted for XOS purity of 76.5% based on the total sugar content of the liquid hydrolysate. In this condition, the sum of xylobiose, xylotriose, and xylotetraose which has a low degree of polymerization (DP) of 2 to 4 was determined as 80.6% of the total XOS. The highest XOS production score established using parameters including the xylan extraction ratio, XOS purity, and low DP XOS ratio was 5.7 at CSF 1.0 condition. XOS production score evaluated using the CSF is expected to be used as a productivity indicator of XOS in the industry (R-squared value: 0.92).

description: The ability of nanopore sequencing to simultaneously detect modified nucleotides while producing long reads makes it ideal for detecting and phasing allele-specific methylation. However, there is currently no complete software for detecting SNPs, phasing haplotypes, and mapping methylation to these from nanopore sequence data. Here, we present NanoMethPhase, a software tool to phase 5-methylcytosine from nanopore sequencing. We also present SNVoter, which can post-process nanopore SNV calls to improve accuracy in low coverage regions. Together, these tools can accurately detect allele-specific methylation genome-wide using nanopore sequence data with low coverage of about ten-fold redundancy.

description: Neurogenic bowel dysfunction (NBD) is a common problem for people with spinal cord injury (SCI) and multiple sclerosis (MS), which seriously impacts quality of life. Pharmacological management is an important component of conservative bowel management. The objective of this study was to first assemble a list of pharmacological agents (medications and medicated suppositories) used in current practice. Second, we systematically examined the current literature on pharmacological agents to manage neurogenic bowel dysfunction of individuals specifically with SCI or MS. We searched Medline, EMBASE and CINAHL databases up to June 2020. We used the GRADE System to provide a systematic approach for evaluating the evidence. Twenty-eight studies were included in the review. We found a stark discrepancy between the large number of agents currently prescribed and a very limited amount of literature. While there was a small amount of literature in SCI, there was little to no literature available for MS. There was low-quality evidence supporting rectal medications, which are a key component of conservative bowel care in SCI. Based on the findings of the literature and the clinical experience of the authors, we have provided clinical insights on proposed treatments and medications in the form of three case study examples on patients with SCI or MS.

description: Background: Airway inflammation is a key feature of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) remain the main treatment for airway inflammation. Studies have noted the increased efficacy of ICS and long-acting beta 2 agonist (LABA) combination therapy in controlling exacerbations and improving airway inflammation than either monotherapy. Further studies have suggested that LABAs may have inherent anti-inflammatory potential, but this has not been well-studied. Objective: We hypothesize that the LABA olodaterol can inhibit airway inflammation resulting from exposure to respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) via its binding receptor, the β2-adrenergic receptor. Methods: Human bronchial epithelial brushing from patients with and without COPD were cultured into air–liquid interface (ALI) cultures and treated with or without olodaterol and RSV infection to examine the effect on markers of inflammation including interleukin-8 (IL-8) and mucus secretion. The cell line NCI-H292 was utilized for gene silencing of the β2-adrenergic receptor via siRNA as well as receptor blocking via ICI 118,551 and butaxamine. Results: At baseline, COPD-ALIs produced greater amounts of IL-8 than control ALIs. Olodaterol reduced RSV-mediated IL-8 secretion in both COPD and control ALIs and also significantly reduced Muc5AC staining in COPD-ALIs infected with RSV. A non-significant reduction was seen in control ALIs. Gene silencing of the β2-adrenergic receptor in NCI-H292 negated the ability of olodaterol to inhibit IL-8 secretion from both RSV infection and lipopolysaccharide stimulus, as did blocking of the receptor with ICI 118,551 and butaxamine. Conclusions: Olodaterol exhibits inherent anti-inflammatory properties on the airway epithelium, in addition to its bronchodilation properties, that is mediated through the β2-adrenergic receptor and independent of ICS usage.

description: В статье рассматривается динамика ценностного сознания молодежи, наметившаяся в связи с социально-экономическими процессами последнего пятилетия. Анализ социологического материала позволил зафиксировать неочевидные, но весьма важные изменения, выразившиеся в девальвации базовых ценностей молодых владимирцев, снижении уровня возрастной солидарности, дроблении жизненных приоритетов и нарастании межпоколенных дистанций. Делается вывод о том, что увеличение роли прагматических и индивидуалистических мотивов в массовом сознании и поведении людей может выступить в качестве серьезного препятствия для социального самоопределения молодежи в качестве субъекта научно-технологических и гуманитарных инноваций.

description: The objective of this project is to examine the negative effects of the current formal educational policy in Cape Verde and to recommend to the Ministry of Education some educational alternatives in order to deal with the out-of-school youth's problem in the country. Problem: The Legal system places outside secondary school the young who are considered overage (16 years old and above) to get her/his first application. actually and annually approximately one thousand young people leave middle school without possibility to pursue their secondary education. Generally, speaking, the out-of-school youths belong to the socially and economically disadvantaged population in the country. The state's obligation with national educational care is only for a period of six years of schooling comprised by four years of primary school and two years of middle school, addressed to pupils at ages 6/14 years old. High schools in Cabo Verde are located in the main islands, main cities, and urban areas. So, due to the lack of financial support to early move from small islands and from rural areas to secondary schools, this segment of young population cannot afford to pursue her/his education. Added to this problem, the legal and the minimum age for employment by the state is 18 years old and above. The state is the major employer in the country and requires as the minimum school's certification, the general course of high school, i.e. the first part (three years) of secondary education. Consequently the current practice is leaving a large portion of the young population unpowered, unskilled, and marginalized. It is also condemning them to poverty, illiteracy and to unprepared emigration. Underlying the idea of creating appropriate aged programs in order to meet the needs of out-of-school youth in Cape Verde, which is the purpose of this paper, are three basic assumptions. First, the Cape Verdean's strategy of development has one of its branches in the schooling access for all. Secondly, the educational reform in place in the country is trying to formulate a comprehensive and coherent educational development program which includes improving the curriculum with specified cognitive achievement. And thirdly, this paper assumes that to create adequate models and programs for meeting the needs of out-of-school youth in Cabo Verde is a viable option and it is possible now. Actually there is an educational reform movement as well as a political reform occurring in the country.

description: This paper describes the implementation of an online role-play that provides participants with the opportunity to immerse themselves in the socio-political context of public health on a Victorian Aboriginal settlement between the 1860's and the mid 1880's. A powerful innovation in the role-play is electronic access to primary historical sources that inform character development and interaction. Role-play provides strong instructional guidance complemented by exploration and discovery-based learning. Evaluation of the role-play indicated that students experienced the role-play as an efficient, effective and engaging way to learn about the subject matter. Overall, the role-play worked as a powerful learning vehicle to shift student perspectives on Aboriginal health and history.

description: Background: The resident immune population of pancreatic islets has roles in islet development, beta cell physiology, and the pathology of diabetes. These roles have largely been attributed to islet macrophages, comprising 90% of islet immune cells (in the absence of islet autoimmunity), and, in the case of type 1 diabetes, to infiltrating autoreactive T cells. In adipose, tissue-resident and recruited T and B cells have been implicated in the development of insulin resistance during diet-induced obesity and ageing, but whether this is paralleled in the pancreatic islets is not known. Here, we investigated the non-macrophage component of resident islet immune cells in islets isolated from C57BL/6 J male mice during ageing (3 to 24 months of age) and following similar weight gain achieved by 12 weeks of 60% high fat diet. Immune cells were also examined by flow cytometry in cadaveric non-diabetic human islets. Results: Immune cells comprised 2.7 ± 1.3% of total islet cells in non-diabetic mouse islets, and 2.3 ± 1.7% of total islet cells in non-diabetic human islets. In 3-month old mice on standard diet, B and T cells each comprised approximately 2–4% of the total islet immune cell compartment, and approximately 0.1% of total islet cells. A similar amount of T cells were present in non-diabetic human islets. The majority of islet T cells expressed the αβ T cell receptor, and were comprised of CD8-positive, CD4-positive, and regulatory T cells, with a minor population of γδ T cells. Interestingly, the number of islet T cells increased linearly (R² = 0.9902) with age from 0.10 ± 0.05% (3 months) to 0.38 ± 0.11% (24 months) of islet cells. This increase was uncoupled from body weight, and was not phenocopied by a degree similar weight gain induced by high fat diet in mice. Conclusions: This study reveals that T cells are a part of the normal islet immune population in mouse and human islets, and accumulate in islets during ageing in a body weight-independent manner. Though comprising only a small subset of the immune cells within islets, islet T cells may play a role in the physiology of islet ageing.

description: COVID-19 CG (covidcg.org) is an open resource for tracking SARS-CoV-2 singlenucleotide variations (SNVs), lineages, and clades using the virus genomes on the GISAID database while filtering by location, date, gene, and mutation of interest. COVID-19 CG provides significant time, labor, and cost-saving utility to projects on SARS-CoV-2 transmission, evolution, diagnostics, therapeutics, vaccines, and intervention tracking. Here, we describe case studies in which users can interrogate (1) SNVs in the SARS-CoV-2 spike receptor binding domain (RBD) across different geographical regions to inform the design and testing of therapeutics, (2) SNVs that may impact the sensitivity of commonly used diagnostic primers, and (3) the emergence of a dominant lineage harboring an S477N RBD mutation in Australia in 2020. To accelerate COVID-19 efforts, COVID-19 CG will be upgraded with new features for users to rapidly pinpoint mutations as the virus evolves throughout the pandemic and in response to therapeutic and public health interventions.

title: Forest governance developments during economic crises: the case of Greece
Creators: name: Kodosakis, Evangelos
Publisher: name: University of Reading
Year: 2024

description: This thesis aims to gain an understanding of the developments that take place inside forest 
governance regimes during economic crises, especially with respect to policies included in 
bailout deals. It focuses on the case of Greece, because the Greek forest regime has been 
showing signs of neglect in recent decades, and despite the huge impacts of the 2009 
economic crisis, its effects on the Greek forest governance regime have not been explored.
The study starts with describing the theoretical background, and then examines how large-scale economic crises have differentially affected forest governance regimes in in the past, 
when IFIs are involved. Then it dives into Greece’s forest governance regime’s most 
prominent stakeholders; it identifies developments and the experience of key bodies in the 
national forest governance regime since the beginning of the 2009 crisis; and it determines
the public’s valuation of specific forest attributes and some basic elements about their 
relationship with forests. Findings can help to increase the resilience of forest regimes and 
relevant stakeholders to the volatility that often accompanies economic crises.
The importance of pre-crisis arrangements in forest governance are highlighted for both 
international and national (Greece) settings, as they can affect the developments during 
economic crises. Some of the key patterns identified in forest governance vis-a-vis specific 
policies, namely privatization of public property, deregulation, and austerity in public 
finances, have to do with decentralization of power; underfunded forest authorities; and in 
cases with no coherent strategy for forests, economic values dominating over environmental 
or social ones. For the case of Greece, the abandonment of rural areas and lack of forest-related economy, along with significant decrease in funding towards key forest actors played 
major role in the adverse developments in the governance of forest regime. Nonetheless, the 
public’s valuation of both environmental and social forest values remains positive, despite 
the effects of the economic crisis onto the society. 
This thesis recommends that national and international actors intensify their efforts to adopt 
and/or support official plans for forests, and to consider external effects of policies that do 
not target primarily the forest regime, preferably through increased consultation with 
stakeholders, while it also highlights the importance of up-to-date relevant data, which can 
be crucial to informed decision making.

A comparative study of the purchasing behaviours for motor vehicles between Baby Boomer and Generation Y consumers
Creators: name: Tran, Ngoc Nguyen Hong
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This thesis represents an exploratory attempt at studying the purchasing behaviour of both the Baby Boomer and Generation Y cohorts in relation to the five stages of the consumer decision making (CDM) model. The purpose of this study is to (1) analyse and compare the attitudes and behaviours of both the Baby Boomer and Generation Y cohorts in their purchasing behaviour in high ticket purchases, and (2) examine in greater depth the information search stage of the CDM model adopted by these two mentioned cohorts in relation to the purchase of a motor vehicle. Interviewer-administered questionnaires were conducted and information was gathered from 50 respondents between the ages of 18-32 and 45-63. Results from the Independent samples T-test, One sample T-test and the Pearson correlation test found that both the Baby Boomer and Generation Y cohorts were equally involved in their search for information on motor vehicles, particularly searching for information on the Internet. Results from further tests also revealed that Generation Y is more likely to seek advice from friends and family members, and also recommending the same model of motor vehicle and/or brand to friends and family members. Additionally, findings showed that Generation Y consumers favoured brands more than the Baby Boomer consumers, particularly when choosing motor vehicle brands. Further findings revealed that the more involved the Baby Boomer and Generation Y cohorts positioned themselves towards the purchase of the motor vehicle, the more information they searched. Finally, findings from the study revealed that internal information search is initially used by both the Baby Boomer and Generation Y cohorts, however there needs to be more research carried out for the usage of external information in the consumer decision making process. Recommendations made to marketing practitioners within this thesis can be summarised as follows. Firstly, more information should be made readily available and easily accessible to the Baby Boomer and Generation Y cohorts through print and other forms of media such as the Internet, televisions and radios. Secondly, marketing practitioners should attract Baby Boomer and retain Generation Y consumers through loyalty programs and building communications based on the needs, wants and perceived relevance as depicted by these consumers. Accordingly, this will produce favourable word-of-mouth promotions and recommendations by Baby Boomer and Generation Y consumers.

description: Novel coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, has emerged as one of the deadliest pathogens of this century, creating an unprecedented pandemic. Belonging to the betacoronavirus family, it primarily spreads through human contact via symptomatic and asymptomatic transmission. Despite several attempts since it emerged, there is no known treatment in the form of drugs or vaccines. Hence, work on developing a potential multi-subunit vaccine is the need of the hour. In this study, attempts have been made to find globally conserved epitopes from the entire set of SARS-CoV-2 proteins as there is as yet, no clear information on the immunogenicity of these proteins. Using diverse computational tools, a ranked list of probable immunogenic, promiscuous epitopes generated through all the three main stages of antigen processing and presentation pathways has been prioritized. Moreover, several useful insights were gleaned during these analyses. One of the most important insights is that all of the proteins in this pathogen present unique epitopes, so that the targeting of a few specific viral proteins is not likely to result in an effective immune response in humans. Due to the presence of these unique epitopes in all of the SARS-CoV-2 proteins, stronger immune responses generated by T cell hyperactivation may lead to cytokine storm and immunopathology and consequently, remote chances of human survival. These epitopes, after due validation in vitro, may thus need to be presented to the human body in that form of multi-subunit epitope-based vaccine that avoids such immunopathologies.

description: Background: Retention in care is a prerequisite for successful recovery, especially for a chronic condition like opioid dependence. Though retention varies greatly depending on the different substitution medication and treatment model, treatment retention is used as an indicator of treatment quality and effectiveness of care on a system and individual level. To monitor the overall quality of the Austrian opioid agonist treatment (OAT) system and to monitor patient satisfaction within the system, a new online-based registry called “eSuchmittel” was introduced in Austria at the beginning of 2011. The objective of this study is to analyze retention rates within the Austrian treatment system and to identify patient characteristics associated with retention, using data collected by the substitution registry. Methods: The complete Austrian sample of 4778 registered patients starting treatment between 1.1.2011 to 31.12.2012 were included in the prospective cohort study using data from the Austrian substitution registry. For the statistical analysis, multivariate Cox Regression and Kaplan–Meier survival analysis were used to evaluate retention in treatment. Results: The retention rate of the total cohort after two years was around 61%. Retention rates were significantly lower for men (exp(B) = .806, 95% CI 0.714–0.908) and significantly higher for patients aged 30 and older (exp(B) = 1.155, 95% CI 1.044–1.279), among patients located in Vienna (exp(B) = 1.439, 95% CI 1.273–1.626) and among patients prescribed oral slow-release morphine (SROM) (exp(B) = 2.141, 95% CI 1.885–2.430). Conclusions: Average retention in the Austrian system is high in comparison to international retention rates. Nationally, SROM demonstrates higher treatment retention when compared to other available substitution medications. Sociodemographic and regional indicators also contribute to higher retention in care. A systematic monitoring of retention rates within a national registry is an important tool helping to evaluate the quality of care. In this study, the Austrian OAT system proves very high retention in care, an important success criterion.

Foresight and entrepreneurship: a literature review
Creators: name: Voros, Joseph
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Anecdotal evidence collected via Masters of Entrepreneurship and Innovation students who undertake subjects within the Strategic Foresight Program at Swinburne University, suggests that foresight has something to offer entrepreneurs. This experience has shown that Strategic Foresight can offer the ability to learn to 'see things differently' which is something that budding entrepreneurs find very attractive and useful. Foresight can be identified as occurring at three levels: individual, strategic and social. (1) Individual foresight is used everyday to prepare for eventualities, prevent perceived risks and prospect for opportunities. Futures thinking at this level is a natural human capacity and one which can be 'turned on' in people who have lost it. (2) Strategic foresight aims to use individual foresight in organisationally useful ways. It is the application of futures thinking in groups. The definition of organisation/group is very broad in this context, as it encompasses all of people who come together for a common purpose. Strategic foresight also operates at depth, asking questions about the hidden underlying structures not just the visible surface trends. (3) Social Foresight is the application of futures thinking in socially useful ways and it can used to help equip organisations and communities with the ability to make decisions with long term implications, and to manage complex and difficult situations. A large amount of research has been done on entrepreneurs and the ways in which they recognise opportunities and the attributes that are required for an entrepreneur to be successful. Some of these attributes can be described as 'natural', in that they are aspect of personality that may not easily be learned or taught. There are other attributes that can be learned and it is these, such as skills around opportunity recognition, which can be fostered through foresight.
