description: This thesis is a history of cultural patterns which existed in Canada during the 1840s. In examining the numerous attitudes, values and sentiments shared by Canadians, I have attempted to provide firstly, an overall description of the cultural condition of the colony and, secondly, a clearer understanding of the nature of the relationship of French and English speaking Canadians. They were very different from each other, divided by characteristics as fundamental as religion, language, and place of origin, and separated by other important impediments like climate and geography. While not denying their distinctions, this dissertation stresses their similarities. It illustrates the cultural community of Canadians by studying their attitudes towards the age in which they lived. For example, they were committed to progress and improvement. Moreover, they were enchanted with technological advances like the railroad and telegraph and they were convinced that a modern and practical education was a good way to change society for the better. Common values of Canadians are demonstrated by observing how they reacted to the difficulties and trials of everyday life, such as fire, sickness and violence. While they endured and responded to these phenomena in a similar fashion, they also fell upon the same solutions to their problems, one of the most interesting being temperance. Further shared cultural patterns are found in their opinions on crime and mental illness. Finally, common sentiments are demonstrated by their ideas regarding religion, the artistic and literary condition of the colony, and the place of women, children and native people in the community. To investigate the cultural patterns of Canadians and to study their shared attitudes, I have used the most obvious printed sources in both French and English, such as newspapers, government documents, official correspondence, sessional papers, committee reports, parliamentary debates, public inquiries, contemporary books, travel guides, pamphlets, magazines, reviews and some selected manuscript sources. Extensive examination of this material leads me to the conclusion that while culturally Canadians were far from sophisticated or advanced in these years, they shared a great deal. While it cannot be claimed that they were the same, their resemblance to each other was often uncanny. The agreement of Canadians on so many matters and the similarity of their cultural attitudes, values and sentiments balances more traditional perceptions of them as being basically antagonistic towards each other. Perhaps the shared cultural patterns illustrated here partly explain why and how Canadians managed to live together fairly reasonably and peacefully during the first decade of the Union. Their positive experiences together is one of the least studied elements of their relationship in this period. Hopefully, this thesis will be regarded as an initial effort in correcting that situation.

description: The invention of optical lasers led to a revolution in the field of optics and to the creation of such fields of research as quantum optics. The reason was their unique statistical and coherence properties. The emerging, short-wavelength free-electron lasers (FELs) are sources of very bright coherent extreme-ultraviolet and X-ray radiation with pulse durations on the order of femtoseconds, and are presently considered to be laser sources at these energies. FELs are highly spatially coherent to the first-order but in spite of their name, behave statistically as chaotic sources. Here, we demonstrate experimentally, by combining Hanbury Brown and Twiss interferometry with spectral measurements that the seeded XUV FERMI FEL-2 source does indeed behave statistically as a laser. The results may be useful for quantum optics experiments and for the design and operation of next generation FEL sources.

description: Background: Chronic knee pain is a common and disabling condition in people over 50 years of age, with knee joint osteoarthritis being a major cause. Acupuncture is a popular form of complementary and alternative medicine for treating pain and dysfunction associated with musculoskeletal conditions. This pragmatic Zelen-design randomised controlled trial is investigating the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of needle and laser acupuncture, administered by medical practitioners, in people with chronic knee pain.Methods/Design: Two hundred and eighty two people aged over 50 years with chronic knee pain have been recruited from metropolitan Melbourne and regional Victoria, Australia. Participants originally consented to participate in a longitudinal natural history study but were then covertly randomised into one of four treatment groups. One group continued as originally consented (ie natural history group) and received no acupuncture treatment. The other three were treatment groups: i) laser acupuncture, ii) sham laser or, iii) needle acupuncture. Acupuncture treatments used a combined Western and Traditional Chinese Medicine style, were delivered by general practitioners and comprised 8-12 visits over 12 weeks. Follow-up is currently ongoing. The primary outcomes are pain measured by an 11-point numeric rating scale (NRS) and self-reported physical function measured by the Western Ontario and McMaster (WOMAC) Universities Osteoarthritis Index subscale at the completion of treatment at 12 weeks. Secondary outcomes include quality of life, global rating of change scores and additional measures of pain (other NRS and WOMAC subscale) and physical function (NRS). Additional parameters include a range of psychosocial measures in order to evaluate potential relationships with acupuncture treatment outcomes. Relative cost-effectiveness will be determined from health service usage and outcome data. Follow-up assessments will also occur at 12 months.Discussion: The findings from this study will help determine whether laser and/or needle acupuncture is efficacious, and cost-effective, in the management of chronic knee pain in older people.Trial registration: Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry reference: ACTRN12609001001280.

Intersubjectivity and large groups: a systems psychodynamic perspective
Creators: name: Harding, Wendy R.
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This thesis argues the importance of the quality of relation between the individual and the large group in work organisations. The main thrust of this argument is that where relations between the individual and the large organisation are mutually recognising both the individual and the large organisation benefit. The research explores three unstructured large groups through experiences of participants. The conceptual framework underpinning the research follows system psychodynamic traditions. These traditions support in depth exploration of both conscious and unconscious aspects of group life. A multi case study design allows analysis of each of the case studies of the large groups, first separately and then together. Each of the single case analyses reveals patterns of interaction that are thought about as defense against the difficulties of being in the particular large group. The findings of the single case studies then become data for the multicase analysis. In the multicase analysis intersubjective theory is introduced. These theories, along with traditional system psychodynamic theories, allow opportunity to deeply consider the way in which individuals relate to the large group, and the impact of this relation on the formation and development of the large group. The multicase analysis shows the difficulties group members had in asserting themselves and finding recognition in each of the large groups. The analysis also shows that despite these problems members continued to seek a recognising relation to the large group. This type of recognition, 'large group recognition', is distinguished from recognition found within interpersonal relations. The multicase data suggests group members found large group recognition through direct and representative relations to the formal authorities and through subgroup competition. However, this recognition appeared to be characterised by dynamics of domination and submission rather than by mutual recognition. In intersubjective terms this is the dialectic of the master and slave. Recognition garnered through a master slave dynamic is understood to be compromised and deplete of the self-affirming qualities of mutuality. Consequently, where large group culture and structure are characterised by, and perpetuate master slave dynamics, the large group and the individual do not function optimally. This is proposed as the circumstance in the large groups of this study. Specifically, it is argued that the large size of the groups, along with tendencies towards patriarchal structure and culture, were instrumental in fostering master slave dynamics in each of the groups. To conclude the thesis the research findings are considered with respect to large work organisations. This discussion explores the value of organisational contexts informed by mutuality, most particularly as organisations face the challenges of the post industrial era.

description: Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have reached an impressive efficiency over 23%. One of its promising characteristics is the low-cost solution printability, especially for flexible solar cells. However, printing large area uniform electron transport layers on rough and soft plastic substrates without hysteresis is still a great challenge. Herein, we demonstrate slot-die printed high quality tin oxide films for high efficiency flexible PSCs. The inherent hysteresis induced by the tin oxide layer is suppressed using a universal potassium interfacial passivation strategy regardless of fabricating methods. Results show that the potassium cations, not the anions, facilitate the growth of perovskite grains, passivate the interface, and contribute to the enhanced efficiency and stability. The small size flexible PSCs achieve a high efficiency of 17.18% and large size (5 × 6 cm2) flexible modules obtain an efficiency over 15%. This passivation strategy has shown great promise for pursuing high performance large area flexible PSCs.

description: This paper provides new loss models for a hybrid optical switch (HOS) combining optical circuit switching (OCS) and optical burst switching (OBS). Exact blocking probabilities are computed when 1) no priority is given to either circuits or bursts and 2) circuits are given preemptive priority over bursts. Because it is difficult to exactly compute in realistic scenarios, computationally scalable approximations are derived for the blocking probability. The sensitivity of the analytical results to burst length and circuit holding-time distributions is quantified by simulation. It is demonstrated how the proposed approximations can be used for multiplexing-gain evaluation of a hybrid switch. In addition, the extension of the proposed single-node model to a network model composed of OCS, OBS, and hybrid switches is outlined.

description: The purpose of this research was to evaluate biomechanical differences in alternate stair descent strategies to determine the mechanisms by which these strategies modulate task mechanics Seventeen healthy subjects (9 males, 8 females) performed ten trials in four experimental conditions; forwards (FD), backwards (BD), step-by-step lead (SBSL) and trail (SBST) limbs. Results showed that peak ankle plantiflexor powers and work in BD and SBSL were similar in magnitude (p>0.05) and reduced relative to FD at initial contact (p<0.001) Similarly, the midstance peak plantiflexor moments, powers and work in FD and SBST were greater than both BD and SBSL (p<0.001). The plantiflexor moment and work in BD were larger than those at the SBSL limb (p<0.01), whereas power magnitudes were not significantly different (p>0.05). Lastly, peak moments, powers and work at push-off were greater in FD compared to all other conditions (p<0.001) and further, were larger in SBST relative to BD and SBSL (p<0.001). Peak moments, powers and work were similar in BD and SBSL conditions (p>0.05). Peak knee moments, powers and work were reduced during the eccentric midstance burst. Knee moments, powers and work were similar in FD and SBST (p>0.05), but were greater than BD and SBSL (p<0.001). Peak moments, powers and work were greater in BD compared to the SBSL limb (p<0.001). Thus, the step-by-step descent strategy is more appropriate for individuals with unilateral knee problems, whereas backwards descent is more suitable for bilateral quadriceps weakness. Peak hip powers and work were larger in BD relative to FD (p <0.001) during initial contact. Similarly, the extensor moment in BD was significantly larger than the flexor moment demonstrated in FD. No consistent stair or condition effects were observed for the concentric hip flexor burst at push-off in FD, SBSL and SBST conditions. Finally, this study considered foot clearance in stair descent. Clearance was greater in BD relative to FD, SBSL and SBST in the mid staircase region, but was similar at step 1, which represented the transition from standing to stair descent. No foot contacts, trips or stumbles were recorded, demonstrating the likelihood of contacting a stair edge in all patterns was nonexistent for these healthy participants. The present results have implications to improve functionality in stair descent for individuals that find the task difficult or painful. Future studies will likely consider the strategies employed during the initiation of stair descent by elderly and clinical populations to gain insight on the strategies used to minimize mechanical burden on both the joints and overlying musculature. Lastly, research should consider the effects of handrail use on alternate stair descent strategy mechanics, such as backwards and step-by-step descent.

description: Radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology was invented nearly 60 years ago during the 2nd World War. However it has only been relatively recently that RFID technology adoption has been headlined in the popular press. With strategic business drivers such as supply chain management and e-commerce initiatives, and the need for increased value from improvements in product tracking, together with a push from consumers and regulatory demands for safe product handling, attention has focused on the adoption of RFID technology. This paper reviews the available literature on RFID technology and develops a fourphase RFID innovation diffusion adoption model which builds on Rogers (1995) innovation adoption literature. The paper will conclude with managerial implications and future directions for RFID research.

description: With currently over one billion monthly active users, the Chinese social media and multipurpose application WeChat (, Wēixìn, micro-message) has become one of the world’s most popular social media platforms. Despite its enormous number of users in Asia, WeChat is still not well known in Western countries. Against this background, the present review aims to provide the reader with a comprehensive overview on the functionality of this application, comparison with other popular applications such as Facebook/WhatsApp and previous research. Although WeChat has become an integral part of everyday life for many users, research has only recently begun to examine the impact of this development on the societal and individual levels. The present review summarizes the literature on this topic with a focus on the motives to engage in using the app and potential detrimental effects of excessive use. In the context of the growing popularity and increasing usage times of the app – in particular in Asian countries – future research seems warranted to examine systematically how social media platforms such as WeChat will affect interpersonal communication behavior, well-being, and mental health. The direct comparison of WeChat’s influence on the mentioned variables compared with its competitors Facebook and WhatsApp often used in Western countries will also be of high importance.

Two recent cases involving share trader David Tweed are also analysed.
Experiences of intense work for individuals working in the information technology (IT) sector and its impact on their lives
Creators: name: Topple, Cheree
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This dissertation, embedded in the Workforce Ageing in the New Economy (WANE) project funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, explores intense work for individuals working in the Australian information technology (IT) sector. It builds on the existing literature using a qualitative lens to yield an alternative perspective to the phenomenon of work intensity. Using a life course perspective to understand the complexity and tensions that individuals experience in combining work with their personal lives, this study explores the various manifestations and the impact of intense work for individuals. Further, the relationship between ageing and intense work for individuals is examined. The study, which is based on constructivist inquiry, presents the findings from the perspective of the individual using seven case studies. Individuals were employed in two organisations based in a major city of Australia, and one male and female were selected for study in each of three different age groups. The seventh case was a male aged over sixty. Although each individual's experience of intense work is unique, a number of commonalities are evident. These constitute the main findings of this dissertation and pertain to the IT labour market, the workplace and the individual's work/life interaction. This dissertation develops a conceptualisation of the intense work experience. Comprised of two levels, the meta-level consists of the life course guiding principles that underpin the individual's life events and transitions. The base-level of the conceptualisation has three main components: the intense work structure, the non-work structure and the interaction between the structures. All three components are in states of flux enabling each of them to change as the context changes. An individual's experience of intense work can fluctuate and activities within an individual's non-work life or domain vary from time to time. As a consequence, the impact of intense work on individual's lives, and vice-versa, will change. This conceptualisation recognises diverse intense work experiences between individuals but also for individuals, as their experiences change over time. When brought together, the meta-level provides a lens for viewing how the life course of individuals underpins the experience of intense work in the context of the work/life interaction (the base-level). Findings from the study have implications at a number of levels and recommendations pertain to organisational policy and a practice-based level, as well as at the level of the individual.

description: Speech can be recorded contact-free using the Doppler effect with a radar microphone and comprehensible results can be achieved even in a noisy environment. For that purpose, the transmit frequency must be higher than 100 GHz to measure enough harmonics of the skin vibration. This paper presents a 160 GHz radar MMIC with a transition to a ﬂexible dielectric waveguide and a plugged antenna for a radar microphone application. With the ﬂexible antenna front-end made of high density polyethylene a comfortable and easy attachment similar to an ordinary microphone is possible. The measured speech signals are comprehensible with the fundamental frequency and at least three harmonics. The background noise does not affect the speech signal as proven in measurements.

description: We report on a search for the host galaxy of FRB 171020, the fast radio burst (FRB) with the smallest recorded dispersion measure (DM; DM = 114 pc cm−3) of our ongoing ASKAP survey. The low DM confines the burst location within a sufficiently small volume to rigorously constrain the identity of the host galaxy. We identify 16 candidate galaxies in the search volume and single out ESO 601–G036, an Sc galaxy at redshift z = 0.00867, as the most likely host galaxy. Ultraviolet and optical imaging and spectroscopy reveal that this galaxy has a star formation rate of approximately 0.1 M ⊙ yr−1 and oxygen abundance 12 + log(O/H) = 8.3 ± 0.2, properties that are remarkably consistent with the galaxy hosting the repeating FRB 121102. However, in contrast to FRB 121102, follow-up radio observations of ESO 601–G036 show no compact radio emission above a 5σ limit of L 2.1GHz = 3.6 × 1019 W Hz−1. Using radio continuum observations of the field, combined with archival optical imaging data, we find no analog to the persistent radio source associated with FRB 121102 within the localization region of FRB 171020 out to z = 0.06. These results suggest that FRBs are not necessarily associated with a luminous and compact radio continuum source.

description: Exercise is advocated in the management of type 1 diabetes (T1D), but the effects of different forms of exercise training on cardiovascular risk factors in T1D still remain unclear. The aim of this study was to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis on exercise training for cardiovascular risk factors in T1D. Six electronic databases were systematically searched for randomized or non-randomized controlled studies reporting associations between exercise training and cardiovascular risk factors in T1D. Weighted mean differences (WMD) of each cardiovascular risk factor between exercise groups and control groups were calculated using a random effects model. A total of 24 studies reported the effects of exercise training on cardiovascular risk factors. Exercise training increased maximal aerobic power (3.01 mL·kg⁻¹·min⁻¹, 95% confidence interval, CI, 0.94 to 6.38) and reduced glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c; −0.45%, 95% CI −0.73 to −0.17), daily insulin dosage (−0.88 U·kg⁻¹, 95% CI −1.27 to −0.48), and total cholesterol (−0.38 mmol·L⁻¹, 95% CI −0.71 to −0.04). Exercise training did not lead to consistent changes in body mass index (BMI), blood pressure, triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), or low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C). In persons living with T1D, exercise training is associated with a beneficial cardiovascular profile, including improvements in lipid profile, glycemic control (decreased daily insulin dosage and HbA1c), and aerobic fitness.

description: Purpose To establish and evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD) threshold values at different spinal levels, derived from opportunistic quantitative computed tomography (QCT), for the prediction of incident vertebral fractures (VF). Materials and Methods In this case-control study, 35 incident VF cases (23 women, 12 men; mean age: 67 years) and 70 sex- and age-matched controls were included, based on routine multi detector CT (MDCT) scans of the thoracolumbar spine. Trabecular vBMD was measured from routine baseline CT scans of the thoracolumbar spine using an automated pipeline including vertebral segmentation, asynchronous calibration for HU-to-vBMD conversion, and correction of intravenous contrast medium (https://anduin.bonescreen.de). Threshold values at T1-L5 were calculated for the optimal operating point according to the Youden index and for fixed sensitivities (60 – 85%) in receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. Results vBMD at each single level of the thoracolumbar spine was significantly associated with incident VFs (odds ratio per SD decrease [OR], 95% confidence interval [CI] at T1-T4: 3.28, 1.66–6.49; at T5-T8: 3.28, 1.72–6.26; at T9-T12: 3.37, 1.78–6.36; and at L1-L4: 3.98, 1.97–8.06), independent of adjustment for age, sex, and prevalent VF. AUC showed no significant difference between vertebral levels and was highest at the thoracolumbar junction (AUC = 0.75, 95%-CI = 0.63 - 0.85 for T11-L2). Optimal threshold values increased from lumbar (L1-L4: 52.0 mg/cm³) to upper thoracic spine (T1-T4: 69.3 mg/cm³). At T11-L2, T12-L3 and L1-L4, a threshold of 80.0 mg/cm³ showed sensitivities of 85 - 88%, and specificities of 41 - 49%. To achieve comparable sensitivity (85%) at more superior spinal levels, resulting thresholds were higher: 114.1 mg/cm³ (T1-T4), 92.0 mg/cm³ (T5-T8), 88.2 mg/cm³ (T9-T12). Conclusions At all levels of the thoracolumbar spine, lower vBMD was associated with incident VFs in an elderly, predominantly oncologic patient population. Automated opportunistic osteoporosis screening of vBMD along the entire thoracolumbar spine allows for risk assessment of imminent VFs. We propose level-specific vBMD threshold at the thoracolumbar spine to identify individuals at high fracture risk.

description: One-step majority logic decoding corrects not only all error patterns of weight t or less but also some error patterns of weight greater than t. In this thesis an estimate of the number of error patterns of weight t+1, which 1-step MLD can correct, is given since they have a high probability of occurrence as compared, to those of greater weights. General considerations on 1-step MLD are also included.

description: Employee theft costs North American business $40 to $200 billion per annum. Moreover, 10 to 30 percent of all U.S. bankruptcies are a direct result of employee theft. In addition, employee involvement in theft at the workplace has been shown to range between 30 to 90 percent. A review of the literature demonstrates that the variables related to social control (ie., formal, informal), job dissatisfaction, opportunity, no fear of detection or a lack of consequences, youth and the ability to rationalize one's behaviour are correlated with the problem of employee theft. A case study was undertaken at one of Canada's Crown Corporations. A select sample of forty workers responded to a questionnaire regarding participation in employee theft. Eighty-six percent of the sample openly admitted committing one hundred and seventy-five thefts per month. Using a Pearson's correlation, the variables of job dissatisfaction and gender (males committed more theft than females) were associated with employee theft. In addition, rationalizing one's behaviour was found to be an important factor. Finally, pre- and post-employment strategies for controlling the problem of employee theft were discussed.

description: series of five star-shaped teroligomers consisting of a saccharose core, and arms, composed of α-gamma butyrolactone methacrylate (GBLMA), methyl adamantyl methacrylate (MAMA) and hydroxyl adamantyl methacrylate (HAMA) with defined arm length and number of arms were prepared via the core-first atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) route. The saccharose core was modified with ATRP initiating sites and non-reactive sites, enabling the synthesis of star polymers with a smaller arm number but identical core. Star teroligomers were synthesized with narrow molecular weight distributions with low polydispersity indices (PDIs < 1.1) showing negligible side reactions only at higher conversions of Xp > 50%. The absence of side reaction and the precise achievement of the target molecular weight indicated excellent control over the reaction. A selected star-shaped teroligomer was investigated for the first time as a photoresist material. The delicate conditions of the lithographic process were optimized by a combinatorial approach. The obtained low line edge and line width roughness of the observed pattern demonstrate the potential of the star architecture for this application.
