description: Moving from high school to college is a major life transition leading to significant changes across many aspects of daily life. This time frame is often seen as the transition from a youth to a young adult, yet its impact on technology use and cybersecurity vulnerabilities remains relatively unstudied. This study investigated which factors associated with the first-year college transition are likely to increase vulnerability to cyberattacks in a sample of first-year college students attending a public university in the northeast United States, all of whom graduated from high school within the last 12 months. This study used a concurrent triangulation mixed methods design. A quantitative survey and qualitative semi-structured interviews were conducted concurrently, the methods were prioritized equally, and the results were interpreted together. Thematic analysis was used to analyze survey short answer responses and semi-structured interviews. A more descriptive analysis was completed to analyze survey responses from 38 respondents. The research found that an increase in the amount of time spent online, changing main internet activities, and lack of cybersecurity awareness training are factors which are likely to increase vulnerability to cyber threats during the transition from high school to college.

Robust Inference under the Beta Regression Model with Application to Health Care Studies
Creators: name: Ghosh, Abhik
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Methodology (stat.ME)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Data on rates, percentages or proportions arise frequently in many different applied disciplines like medical biology, health care, psychology and several others. In this paper, we develop a robust inference procedure for the beta regression model which is used to describe such response variables taking values in $(0, 1)$ through some related explanatory variables. In relation to the beta regression model, the issue of robustness has been largely ignored in the literature so far. The existing maximum likelihood based inference has serious lack of robustness against outliers in data and generate drastically different (erroneous) inference in presence of data contamination. Here, we develop the robust minimum density power divergence estimator and a class of robust Wald-type tests for the beta regression model along with several applications. We derive their asymptotic properties and describe their robustness theoretically through the influence function analyses. Finite sample performances of the proposed estimators and tests are examined through suitable simulation studies and real data applications in the context of health care and psychology. Although we primarily focus on the beta regression models with a fixed dispersion parameter, some indications are also provided for extension to the variable dispersion beta regression models with an application.

description: We present two zero-sum games modeling situations where one player attacks (or hides in) a finite dimensional nonempty compact set, and the other tries to prevent the attack (or find him). The first game, called patrolling game, corresponds to a dynamic formulation of this situation in the sense that the attacker chooses a time and a point to attack and the patroller chooses a continuous trajectory to maximize the probability of finding the attack point in a given time. Whereas the second game, called hiding game, corresponds to a static formulation in which both the searcher and the hider choose simultaneously a point and the searcher maximizes the probability of being at distance less than a given threshold of the hider.

description: We show that due to the large coupling constant of the monopole-photon interaction the annihilation of monopole-antimonopole and monopolium into many photons must be considered experimentally. For monopole-antimonopole annihilation and lightly bound monopolium, even in the less favorable scenario, multi-photon events (four and more photons in the final state) are dominant, while for strongly bound monopolium, although two photon events are important, four and six photon events are also sizable.

description: The Calibrated Enhanced Resolution Passive Microwave Daily Equal-Area Scalable Earth (EASE) Grid 2.0 Brightness Temperature (CETB) Earth System Data Record (ESDR) project team has developed algorithms for creating Earth-based enhanced resolution brightness temperature (TB) images from swath-based CSU FCDR files. In this report, these algorithms are applied to CSU ICDR and GPM L1C files and the relative TB values. It is found that there are noisy differences that appear correlated with the surface type. The channel dependent mean difference for either land or ocean varied from -0.60 K to 2.72 K while the standard deviations varied anywhere from 0.21 K to 7.11 K for EASE2 T. Looking at an average mean and average std for assessing passes for horizontally polarized 37 GHz of EASE2 T, the overall mean difference is 1.09 K (land), and 1.39 K (ocean) with a std of 1.23 K (land), and 1.04 K (ocean). Similar statistics exist for EASE2 N and EASE2 S.
Richer Convolutional Features for Edge Detection

description: In this paper, we propose an accurate edge detector using richer convolutional features (RCF). Since objects in nature images have various scales and aspect ratios, the automatically learned rich hierarchical representations by CNNs are very critical and effective to detect edges and object boundaries. And the convolutional features gradually become coarser with receptive fields increasing. Based on these observations, our proposed network architecture makes full use of multiscale and multi-level information to perform the image-to-image edge prediction by combining all of the useful convolutional features into a holistic framework. It is the first attempt to adopt such rich convolutional features in computer vision tasks. Using VGG16 network, we achieve \sArt results on several available datasets. When evaluating on the well-known BSDS500 benchmark, we achieve ODS F-measure of \textbf{.811} while retaining a fast speed (\textbf{8} FPS). Besides, our fast version of RCF achieves ODS F-measure of \textbf{.806} with \textbf{30} FPS.
title: Relationship marketing : complex customer relationships in project-based markets
Creators: name: Swarts, KM
Publisher: name: University of Tasmania
Year: 2020

description: The construction industry has high levels of conflict and low rates of customer satisfaction. Relationship marketing is an organisational approach that improves cooperation and customer satisfaction. Yet relationship marketing theory has been developed for traditional service industries, such as banking and hospitality, where firms benefit from customer retention. In contrast, construction firms operate within project-based markets where the need to retain customers is of less value and importance to the business. Furthermore, the nature of the ‘customer relationship’ within these markets comprises of several characteristics that make them complex. Within this context, this thesis investigates the transfer of relationship marketing to project-based markets which are characterised by these complex customer relationships. This research uses an explanatory sequential mixed-methods approach. Phase One comprised of an online survey, which was sent to 4,928 Australian construction firms. A total of 175 completed responses were received. Phase Two used semi-structured interviews, which were conducted with 19 Australian construction firms. The survey results reveal that although construction firms have a relationship marketing orientation, most rarely engage in traditional relationship marketing activities. Furthermore, with respect to the nature of their customer relationships, eight of the nine characteristics were found to be present in this market. The interview findings demonstrate an evolving relationship focus, whereby construction firms balance the legal and social objectives of their customer relationships over time. In addition, the interview phase found that Australian construction firms place greater emphasis on customer referrals rather than repeat purchase intention. In general, the complex nature of the customer relationships makes the transfer of relationship marketing theory into project-based markets difficult to implement. This thesis contributes to relationship marketing research by exploring the complexity of the customer relationships in project-based markets and investigating how these relationships impact the extent to which this approach can be applied to the Australian construction industry. The implications for practice are that managers of project-based firms can adapt their relationship marketing to increase trust throughout project-delivery, and to focus on customer referrals rather than customer retention to maximise the benefits of adopting a relationship marketing approach.
title: Impact of forensic science on criminal justice system outcomes : how does chemical trace contribute?
Creators: name: Woodman, PA
Publisher: name: University of Tasmania
Year: 2020

description: The criminal justice system is expected to be fair and effective. Decades of research point to the critical role that forensic evidence may play in meeting this expectation. Yet this evidence base has focused almost exclusively on biometric evidence, and little is known about the efficacy or otherwise of smaller disciplines. The aim of this research was to explore the contribution that chemical trace evidence in particular may make in supporting police investigations and court processes in Victoria, Australia. Quantitative and qualitative data relating to the use and impact of chemical trace and other forensic evidence were collected in a series of three studies based on criminal justice system data and surveys of investigators. A quantitative analysis of criminal justice system outcomes revealed new insights into the role played by forensic science. In particular, it was discovered that the impact of forensic evidence varied between disciplines and that there are potential interactive effects of using multiple forms of evidence, which may enhance fair and just outcomes. This research has provided insight into the diverse and nuanced ways that chemical trace evidence is used in criminal investigations and pre-trial processes that lie beneath the observable impact on the judicial steps measurable using quantitative methods. Capturing qualitative data has proven essential for revealing the less tangible modes of benefit provided, which need to be recognised to appreciate the full value provided by this form of evidence. Chemical trace evidence in particular was found to influence the decision-making of investigators in a number of ways. This finding contradicts prevailing forensic community perceptions that the benefits of trace evidence are largely confined to its application in court. Knowledge of the use and impact of forensic evidence could be used by service providers to guide the strategic deployment of services and to optimise the support provided to police investigations and court processes. The findings in this research have implications for the effective use of chemical trace and other forensic evidence. The limited availability of empirical research on the value provided by many forensic evidence types is a current weakness in the effective utilisation of forensic science in the criminal justice system.
Lagrangian perturbation theory for modified gravity

description: We present a formalism to compute Lagrangian displacement fields for a wide range of cosmologies in the context of perturbation theory up to third order. We emphasize the case of theories with scale dependent gravitational strengths, such as chameleons, but our formalism can be accommodated to other modified gravity theories. In the non-linear regime two qualitative features arise. One, as is well known, is that nonlinearities lead to a screening of the force mediated by the scalar field. The second is a consequence of the transformation of the Klein-Gordon equation from Eulerian to Lagrangian coordinates, producing frame-lagging terms that are important especially at large scales, and if not considered, the theory does not reduce to the $Λ$CDM model in that limit. We apply our formalism to compute the 1-loop power spectrum and the correlation function in $f(R)$ gravity by using different resummation schemes. We further discuss the IR divergences of these formalisms.

description: We demonstrate that small quantum memories, realized via quantum error correction in multi-qubit devices, can benefit substantially by choosing a quantum code that is tailored to the relevant error model of the system. For a biased noise model, with independent bit and phase flips occurring at different rates, we show that a single code greatly outperforms the well-studied Steane code across the full range of parameters of the noise model, including for unbiased noise. In fact, this tailored code performs almost optimally when compared with 10,000 randomly selected stabilizer codes of comparable experimental complexity. Tailored codes can even outperform the Steane code with realistic experimental noise, and without any increase in the experimental complexity, as we demonstrate by comparison in the observed error model in a recent 7-qubit trapped ion experiment.

description: This report discusses the use and modeling of sensor antenna patterns for estimating the spatial response function of radiometer measurements for two of the sensors used in the Calibrated Passive Microwave Daily EASE-Grid 2.0 Brightness Temperature ESDR (CETB). Both simulated and actual antenna patterns are studied. The relationship of the antenna pattern to the spatial response function is derived and explored. A common model (a Gaussian function) is compared to the antenna pattern and spatial response function. The model adequately represents the mainlobe of the pattern and response function, though it does not model the rolloff of sidelobes well. Using a second Gaussian (termed a dual-Gaussian model) improves the fit. When considering the difficulties and uncertainties in trying to use measured antenna patterns, and in light of the relative insensitivity of the CETB reconstruction processing to errors in the spatial response function, we conclude that the simple Gaussian approximation is adequate for modeling the response function in the CETB reconstruction processing.

description: We present 22 new (+3 confirmed) cataclysmic variables (CVs) in the non core-collapsed globular cluster 47 Tucanae (47 Tuc). The total number of CVs in the cluster is now 43, the largest sample in any globular cluster so far. For the identifications we used near-ultraviolet (NUV) and optical images from the Hubble Space Telescope, in combination with X-ray results from the Chandra X-ray Observatory. This allowed us to build the deepest NUV CV luminosity function of the cluster to date. We found that the CVs in 47 Tuc are more concentrated towards the cluster center than the main sequence turnoff stars. We compared our results to the CV populations of the core-collapsed globular clusters NGC 6397 and NGC 6752. We found that 47 Tuc has fewer bright CVs per unit mass than those two other clusters. That suggests that dynamical interactions in core-collapsed clusters play a major role creating new CVs. In 47 Tuc, the CV population is probably dominated by primordial and old dynamically formed systems. We estimated that the CVs in 47 Tuc have total masses of approx. 1.4 M_sun. We also found that the X-ray luminosity function of the CVs in the three clusters is bimodal. Additionally, we discuss a possible double degenerate system and an intriguing/unclassified object. Finally, we present four systems that could be millisecond pulsar companions given their X-ray and NUV/optical colors. For one of them we present very strong evidence for being an ablated companion. The other three could be CO- or He-WDs.

description: The light unflavoured meson $η/η^{\prime}$ decays are valuable for testing non-perturbative quantum chromodynamics and exploring new physics beyond the Standard Model. This paper describes a series of event generators, including $η/η^{\prime}\toγl^{+}l^{-}$, $η/η^{\prime}\toγπ^{+}π^{-}$, $η^{\prime}\toωe^{+}e^{-}$, $η\toπ^{+}π^{-}π^{0}$, $η/η^{\prime}\toπ^{0}π^{0}π^{0}$, $η^{\prime}\toηππ$ and $η^{\prime}\toπ^{+}π^{-}π^{+}π^{-}/π^{+}π^{-}π^{0}π^{0}$, which have been developed for investigating $η/η^\prime$ decay dynamics. For most of these generators, their usability has been validated in BESIII analyses for determining the detection efficiency, and background studies. The consistency between data and Monte Carlo shows that these generators work well in the BESIII simulation, and will also be useful for ongoing BESIII analyses and other experiments for studying $η/η^\prime$ physics.

description: Since the release of the Calibrated, Enhanced-Resolution Brightness Temperature (CETB) Earth System Data Record (ESDR) in 2017, the cryospheric research community has been using this long-term data record to update derived geophysical parameters. This global, gridded data set is a fundamental tool in studying surprisingly rapid cryospheric change in the satellite era. The CETBs make use of an innovative computational algorithm, the radiometer version of Scatterometer Image Reconstruction (rSIR), to improve spatial resolution of the products to 3 km (30-60% over conventional gridding techniques). With data beginning in 1978, CETBs provide a 40+ year record of Earth’s passive microwave emissions from multiple, often overlapping, polar orbiting sensors. Recent sensor additions to CETBs include Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) radiometer and Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer 2 (AMSR2). We now produce daily CETBs in near real- time for operational sensors (3 SSMIS, SMAP and AMSR2). Developed with FAIR principles, the CETBs provide the highest-quality, consistently-calibrated, gridded passive microwave data available, using EASE-Grid 2.0, self-describing data content and provenance conventions, machine-readable geolocation and transparency in data processing parameters. Freely distributed by the NASA NSIDC DAAC, this reliable, high-quality, enhanced-resolution ESDR is advancing our understanding of both spatial and temporal variability in cryospheric phenomena. In this presentation we highlight successful recent applications of the CETBs to advance understanding of the cryosphere for the benefit of human society. SMAP CETBs are used to derive firn aquifer and ice slab extent to advance understanding of liquid water reservoirs in ice sheet and ice shelf processes related to mass balance and stability. AMSR2 CETBs are used to improve sea ice concentration and sea ice motion maps, at higher spatial resolutions than have previously been available, to benefit operational sea ice monitoring in the Alaskan Arctic. SSMIS and AMSR2 CETBs are used to derive snow melt onset in regions that are critical to military mobility.

Gaming against Violence: An Exploration of Video Games as Tools for Sexual Violence Prevention Education
Creators: name: Gordon, Kenzie
Publisher: name: gamevironments
Year: 2022

description: This article engages the question of whether a prosocial video game can be an effective intervention for combating values that support rape culture. Employing a methodology that blends the Values at Play framework (Flanagan and Nissenbaum 2014) with feminist game analysis and empirical measurements, it demonstrates the capacity of intentionally-designed games to broaden the toolkit of gender-based violence prevention professionals. Existing scholarship that has examined the relationship between gameplay and attitudes towards sexual violence has predominantly taken a deficit-focused approach, examining whether games like Grand Theft Auto IV (2008) have a negative effect on the attitudes of players. This research is largely disconnected from approaches in game studies, leading to methodological shortcomings that fail to acknowledge the real-world conditions in which people actually play games. I argue that the integration of theories of player interpretation of ludic interactions, strategies in digital pedagogy, and empirical measurement of player beliefs can produce more robust findings, which consider the multiple meanings players may find in game spaces. This article describes a mixed-method approach to exploring beneficial applications of games for sexual violence prevention work, surveying participants on attitudes towards sexual violence before and after playing the bystander intervention game Decisions That Matter (2015). The findings of this research echo other studies that blend violence prevention education with video games (Potter et al. 2019), suggesting that games may be an effective means of reducing adherence to rape myths. As the sexual violence prevention sector works to grapple with the scale of the problem and the increasing prevalence of digital forms of sexual violence, the importance of developing effective, evidence-based digital tools for violence prevention is heightened. This study sheds light on the benefits and drawbacks of games as an educational format for violence prevention and suggests methodological considerations and interdisciplinary approaches that will be essential to building an evidence-based digital toolkit for violence prevention.

description: This thesis presents the design, implementation, and evaluation of an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) specifically tailored for edge computing networks. The primary objective is to enhance the security and resilience of edge computing environments by accurately detecting and mitigating network intrusions. The IDS incorporates machine learning algorithms, with a focus on decision tree classifiers, to enable effective intrusion detection. The NSL-KDD dataset is utilized for experimentation and evaluation purposes. The architectural design of the IDS considers the unique characteristics and challenges of edge computing networks. The integration of decision tree classifiers within the IDS framework allows for efficient and reliable detection of various types of attacks, including Denial of Service (DoS) and Probe attacks. The experimental evaluation of the IDS's performance encompasses multiple evaluation metrics, including accuracy, precision, recall, and F-measure. Detailed results and analysis are presented for the detection of DoS and Probe attacks, demonstrating the system's ability to distinguish between normal and attack traffic instances. Additionally, the evaluation considers resource utilization, scalability, and real-time deployment considerations in the context of edge computing networks. Based on the experimental findings, this thesis concludes that the IDS effectively enhances the security of edge computing networks by accurately detecting and categorizing network intrusions.

description: Three-dimensional models reveal how the mechanics of exoskeletal enrolment changed during the development of a model organism for insights into ancient arthropod development, the 429-million-year-old trilobite Aulacopleura koninckii. Changes in the number, size and allocation of segments within the trunk, coupled with the need to maintain effective exoskeletal shielding of soft tissue during enrolment, necessitated a transition in enrolment style about the onset of mature growth. During an earlier growth phase, enrolment was sphaeroidal, with the venter of the trunk fitting exactly against that of the head. In later growth, if lateral exoskeletal encapsulation was to be maintained trunk length proportions did not permit such exact fitting, requiring an alternative, non-sphaeoridal enrolment style. Our study favours the adoption of a posture in later growth in which the posterior trunk extended beyond the front of the head. This change in enrolment accommodated a pattern of notable variation in the number of mature trunk segments, well known to characterize the development of this species. It suggests how an animal whose early segmental development was remarkably precisely controlled was able to realize the marked variation in mature segment number that was related, apparently, to life in a physically challenging, reduced oxygen setting.

title: Images of Muslim women in contemporary Indonesian literature
Creators: name: Wajiran, W
Publisher: name: University of Tasmania
Year: 2020

description: The aim of this research is to explore the ways in which Muslim women are portrayed in contemporary Indonesian literature. This research is focused on the images of women in Javanese Muslim families. It is argued that there have been changes in the depiction of female characters since Reformasi in Indonesia. Although this research deals with the issues of Islam, literature and Muslim women, the object of the research cannot be labelled as Islamic literature. As well as the term ‘Islamic literature’ still being contested, not all the literary works discussed here are categorised as Islamic literature. However, the writers whose works are the object of this research are Muslims who actively engage in Islamic organisations. Some are lecturers in Islamic universities and in pesantren or Islamic boarding schools. The works of four prominent writers are discussed in this thesis. They are Habiburrahman El Shirazy, Abidah El Khalieqy, Mustofa W. Hasyim, and Alfina Dewi. Their works present a woman as the protagonist or issues pertaining to Muslim women as their themes. This research will contextualise the literary works within the Indonesian context. This is because the novels deal with Islamic values, Javanese tradition and contemporary Muslim society. Issues raised in the literary texts will be correlated with issues being addressed in society. This research will apply the feminist theory of Amina Wadud in order to undertake a feminist reading of the selected literary works. This research will be limited to Indonesian literature published since 1998. The year 1998 was the climax of Reformasi when the authoritarian President Suharto lost his position.

description: Developing an accurate and reliable injury predictor is central to the biomechanical studies of traumatic brain injury. State-of-the-art efforts continue to rely on empirical, scalar metrics based on kinematics or model-estimated tissue responses explicitly pre-defined in a specific brain region of interest. They could suffer from loss of information. A single training dataset has also been used to evaluate performance but without cross-validation. In this study, we developed a deep learning approach for concussion classification using implicit features of the entire voxel-wise white matter fiber strains. Using reconstructed American National Football League (NFL) injury cases, leave-one-out cross-validation was employed to objectively compare injury prediction performances against two baseline machine learning classifiers (support vector machine (SVM) and random forest (RF)) and four scalar metrics via univariate logistic regression (Brain Injury Criterion (BrIC), cumulative strain damage measure of the whole brain (CSDM-WB) and the corpus callosum (CSDM-CC), and peak fiber strain in the CC). Feature-based deep learning and machine learning classifiers consistently outperformed all scalar injury metrics across all performance categories in cross-validation (e.g., average accuracy of 0.844 vs. 0.746, and average area under the receiver operating curve (AUC) of 0.873 vs. 0.769, respectively, based on the testing dataset). Nevertheless, deep learning achieved the best cross-validation accuracy, sensitivity, and AUC (e.g., accuracy of 0.862 vs. 0.828 and 0.842 for SVM and RF, respectively). These findings demonstrate the superior performances of deep learning in concussion prediction, and suggest its promise for future applications in biomechanical investigations of traumatic brain injury.
