Experimental investigation of the tensile properties and failure mechanisms of three-dimensional woven composites
Creators: name: Rudov-Clark, Shoshanna
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: This PhD thesis presents an experimental investigation into the tensile properties, strengthening mechanics and failure mechanisms of three-dimensional (3D) woven composites with through-the-thickness (z-binder) reinforcement. 3D composites are being developed for the aerospace industry for structural applications in next-generation aircraft, such as wing panels, joints and stiffened components. The use of 3D woven composites in primary aircraft structures cannot occur until there has been a detailed assessment of their mechanical performance, including under tensile loading conditions. The aim of this PhD project is to provide new insights into the in-plane tensile properties, fatigue life, tensile delamination resistance and failure mechanisms of 3D woven composites with different amounts of z-binder reinforcement. Previous research has revealed that excessive amounts of z- binder reinforcement dramatically improves the tensile delamination toughness, but at the expense of the in-plane structural properties. For this reason, this PhD project aims to evaluate the tensile performance of 3D woven composites with relatively small z-binder contents (less than ~1%). The research aims to provide a better understanding of the manufacture, microstructure and tensile properties of 3D woven composites to assist the process of certification and application of these materials to aircraft structures as well as high performance marine and civil structures.
A two-stage exploratory study of the coping patterns of Arab women with breast cancer residing in the United Arab Emirates
Creators: name: Assaf, Ghada
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: This study examined the United Arab Emirate womens coping patterns after being diagnosed with breast cancer in order to propose culturally and socially specific breast-cancer health education and management programs .

A two-phase, exploratory mixed-method design was employed, using a questionnaire and individual, face-to-face semi-structured interviews. A convenient sample of 250 adult (eighteen years and over) Arab women diagnosed with breast cancer were recruited from the UAE National Breast Cancer Registry during the period of 2005–2010. Twenty women participated in the semi-structured face-to-face interviews.

In phase one, all participants completed a piloted questionnaire ascertaining their (a) demographic and clinical characteristics, and (b) Jalowiec coping scale (which consisted of 60 coping-pattern questions). In phase two, the 20 participants who scored (a) the highest and (b) the lowest scores on the previous coping-scale questionnaire from phase one were invited to undertake face-to-face semi-structured interviews in order to provide more detail regarding the context of their coping-pattern assessments and how helpful these patterns were to them. Content data analysis involving a constant-comparison design was employed.

In the quantitative phase of the study, the seven hypotheses were addressed. Women from different age groups, marital status, parities, nationalities, educational levels, employment histories before and/or after the diagnosis of breast cancer, and with or without a family history of cancer ‘mostly used’ and perceived ‘the supportant coping style’ as ‘mostly effective’. Faith in God was identified by 98 per cent of the Arab breast-cancer survivors as their most important coping pattern.

In phase two, the content analysis revealed eight broad conceptualisations including reducing threats to identity; coping with changes in one’s self; seeking a healthy identity; coping by engaging in religious practices; overcoming the stigma and isolation; support in facing uncertainty; accepting support in achieving autonomy and independence; and accepting changes to identity.

Recommnedations are that UAE women with breast cancer, regardless of their nationality, need enhanced and specifically targeted cultural knowledge and appropriate psychosocial support in order to manage the challenges that they face in their everyday lives. There is an urgent need to develop strategic psychosocial components within the current breast-cancer support services and to strengthen the role of the self-help groups through structured organisational support. The UAE needs specific tailored undergraduate and postgraduate education on the spiritual and religious beliefs of their Arab female patients. It is imperative to include spiritual awareness within medical and nursing education.

Beyond skin deep: exploring the contribution of communication design within interaction design projects
Creators: name: Dunbar, Michael
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: This research has explored potential ways for understanding the contribution communication design makes within the field of interaction design; specifically projects that have involved the design of web-based interactive systems. As a practice-based design investigation, this research has been conducted through a series of interaction design projects within the context of a Collaborative Research Centre, and have often included working with industry partners. I will refer to these as projects throughout this exegesis. In this exegesis, I will argue that communication design can make a valuable contribution to interaction design projects, and that this contribution can be facilitated by understanding interactive systems in terms of the role that they play in our everyday experience of the world.

This exegesis presents the central argument of the research and how the research questions were investigated. It presents the projects through which the research has been conducted, and through discussion, presents the discoveries and knowledge gained through this research. The total submission for this research consists of the exegesis, exhibition, and oral presenation. Throughout each mode of delivery I will share how the research questions were investigated.
Role of the Atlantic Corridor project as a form of strategic community of practice in facilitating business transformations in Latin America
Creators: name: Arroyo, Alejandro
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: This thesis examines the way a change management entity facilitated a deep and lasting business transformation, undertaken as a major program of projects that were engaged in business process re-engineering, logistics supply change management and formation of joint ventures and forms of alliance. It takes a project management perspective with a strong focus on how the Corridor project achieved change through leadership, co-learning strategies and collaboration. It takes place within the context of a unique historical period of economic transition for Latin America. The research focuses on the Corridor as a single entity using five case studies of different complexity.

The Corridor Project developed as a dynamic community of practice with project management office characteristics where a number of projects were born and evolved through their different life cycles as business transformation outcomes. The Corridor could become a model to put into practice in other regions of the world where production and consumption asymmetries are found or where infrastructural asymmetries could call for a Corridor-like project to overcome trade imbalances or increase regional trade - all this leading to a series of business transformation opportunities to let corporations become more competitive by making a strategic use of knowledge sharing and transfer.
Goal recognition and deception in path-planning
Creators: name: Masters, Peta
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024
Subjects: classificationCode: 460202
subject: Autonomous agents and multiagent systems

description: This thesis argues that investigation of goal recognition and deception in the much studied and well-understood context of path-planning reveals nuances to both problems that have previously gone unnoticed. Contemporary goal recognition systems rely on examination of multiple observations to calculate a probability distribution across goals. The first part of this thesis demonstrates that a distribution with identical rankings to current stateof-the-art can be achieved without any observations apart from a known starting point (such as a door or gate) and where the agent is now. It also presents a closed formula to calculate a radius around any goal of interest within which that goal is guaranteed to be the most probable, without having to calculate any actual probability values. In terms of deception, traditionally there are two strategies: dissimulation (hiding the true) and simulation (showing the false). The second part of this thesis shows that current state-of-the-art goal recognition systems do not cope well with dissimulation that does its work by ‘dazzling’ (i.e., obfuscating with hugely suboptimal plans). It presents an alternative, self-modulating formula that modifies its output when it encounters suboptimality, seeming to ‘know that it does not know’ instead of ‘keep changing its mind’. Deception is often regarded as a ‘yes, no’ proposition (either the target is deceived or they are not). Furthermore, intuitively, deceptive path-planning involves suboptimality and must, therefore, be expensive. This thesis, however, presents a model of deception for path-planning domains within which it is possible (a) to rank paths by their potential to deceive and (b) to generate deceptive paths that are ‘optimally deceptive’ (i.e., deceptive to the maximum extent at the lowest cost).

description: Die vorliegende Diplomarbeit untersucht auf hermeneutische Weise Handlungsmotive von in der sozialpädagogischen Praxis tätigen Personen. Dabei wird speziell auf die Verantwortung Bezug genommen, und analysiert, ob – und wenn ja – wie diese Verantwortung mögliche Handlungen motiviert. Durch die Analyse der Ausführungen von Micha BRUMLIK, Hans THIERSCH und Ernst MARTIN wird versucht zu klären: 1. Warum eine Sozialpädagogin überhaupt handeln soll. 2. Wie die Soziale Arbeit gedacht werden muss, damit in ihr nicht bevormundend gehandelt wird. Und 3. Wie verantwortungsvolles professionelles Handeln innerhalb einer sozialpädagogischen Organisation ermöglicht werden kann. Die Komplexität dieser Vorhaben ergibt sich aus der Schwierigkeit, Definitionen und Handlungs- orientierungen für eine professionelle sozialpädagogische Praxis zu finden.
description: This thesis explores in a hermeneutic way motifs of action from people who work in the social section. It will be particulary examined which role responsibility plays. Therefore will be analyzed if – and if yes – how responsibility could be a possible reason for any kind of ‘social acting’. This analysis will be made by reference to three authors: Micha BRUMLIK, Hans THIERSCH and Ernst MARTIN, and tries to answer three questions: 1. Why should a social worker act at all? 2. How social work must be conceived so that it is not acting by patronizing. 3. How will a responsible professional action be made possible within a socio- educational organization? The complexity of this research project results from the difficulty in finding definitions and action- orientations for professional socio practitioners.

description: Atlantic City, New Jersey is globally cited as one of the most vulnerable cities to the effects of climate change and sea level rise, representing the socioeconomic, cultural, and ecological threats that all coastal communities will face within the next half-century. 2060 projections indicate that Atlantic City will experience up to 155+ flood events per year and 50% of the city could be uninhabitable. In leveraging the city’s coastal location, current institutions, and historic tourism-based infrastructure, the Resilient Transect becomes a framework for adaptation and growth, engaging the public and attracting an international cohort of researchers, designers, and policymakers to test and implement globally applicable and revolutionary strategies for coastal resilience. The iconic Atlantic City Boardwalk is abstracted as a beach-to-bay datum to catalyze adaptation, support, research, and participation along the transect, adaptable to environmental change and socioeconomic needs within and beyond Atlantic City.

description: Aims: There is increased likelihood of social phobia in immigrants (1). Since 1950s Turkish workers were moved to Germany, they persist the highest quote among all minorities through 3rd generation. Increased use of social networks such as Facebook brought the attention if social phobic people are using those networks more. Our aim in this study to evaluate the social anxiety levels of Turks in Turkey and Turkish immigrants in Germany.
Methods: Participants were 120 Turkish people living in Turkey and in Germany who were recruited through social network (Official Facebook Website of Harran University Hospital of Psychiatry Department). Subjects were asked to fill the Turkish version of the Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale (LSAS) and additional sociodemographic form was given by Google spreadsheet. All participants were provided with informed consent of the study and ethics committee of Harran University approved the study (approval date and number: 29.11.2011 and 07).

Results: There were 49 from Turkey (female = 41, male =8) and 71 from Germany (female = 55, male = 8). Participants living in Turkey were ranged in age from 18 to 46 with a mean age of 26.81 (SD = 7.56) similarly Turkish immigrants have a mean age of 25.37 (SD = 5.78) a value of the range from 18 to 44. Neither anxiety nor avoidance level were significantly different between two groups. [Lanx (t (n) = 1.15, P = 0.25) and Lavo (t (n) = 1.67, P = 0.1)].

Conclusions:  Similar anxiety levels between Turks in Turkey and Turkish Immigrant in Germany might be related more non-environmental factors related with social anxiety.

Barcode correction for linked-read sequencing data
Creators: name: Kehr, Birte
Publisher: name: F1000 Research Limited
Year: 2018

description: The linked-read sequencing protocol by 10X Genomics enables genomic analyses that require long-range information with accurate short reads, such as haplotype phasing, scaffolding of de novo assemblies and structural variant discovery. The protocol augments Illumina short reads with long-range information using a barcoding strategy. Barcodes label read pairs originating from the same long (~50 kb) DNA molecules and are incorporated as the first 16 bases of the first read in each pair. However, as barcodes are part of the sequence reads, they are subject to Illumina sequencing errors. Some errors can be corrected when a whitelist of barcodes present in a sample is given – a crucial preprocessing step for recovering erroneous barcodes and rescuing valuable long-range informa-tion. Here, we introduce bcctools, a new toolbox for barcode correction.
Reconceptualising English language learning pedagogies for a South Korean context
Creators: name: Hadzantonis, Dimitrios
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: South Korea’s high expenditure on English education, as well as its low performance on English language competency testing, creates a serious problem for a country working to emerge from global isolation. Attitudes developed through historical and social enculturation shape the language learning styles of South Koreans, and hence heavily influence Korean learner practices in terms of gaining expertise in the English language. This Project develops tertiary students’ language learning through moving the learners from traditional to more learner-centred pedagogies in the form of online learning materials. This curriculum approach works directly with the enculturation dimensions of Korean language learning, interrogating links between language and identity.

description: The concept of Knowledge Exchange (KE), increasingly adopted by policy
      makers and practitioners, is used to describe policy, investment and
      related forms of collaboration between universities and public, private
      and third sector partners. The concept is inclusive of formal and informal
      collaborations that extend beyond universities’ traditional roles as
      centres of research and teaching excellence with a recognised potential to
      generate significant social and economic benefits. This enquiry sets out
      to clarify the concept of KE as a distinct mode of university
      collaboration and identify important factors that act to shape the
      effectiveness of KE projects as the basis for exploring how future
      projects can be supported to maximise effectiveness.

      The overall aim is addressed is through a review of relevant literature
      and a case study analysis incorporating six knowledge exchange projects
      undertaken within the context of The Creative Exchange, one of four AHRC
      funded Knowledge Exchange Hubs. Each project focused on addressing
      opportunities and challenges associated with digital innovation across a
      variety of social contexts. The study reflects the premise that to design
      and enable knowledge exchange initiatives effectively, it is necessary to
      understand the intention, context and characteristics of this mode of
      collaboration and the factors that shape the delivery of the related
      projects. Distilled from the case study analysis and elements of the
      literature review, a typology of three distinct forms of University
      collaboration is developed (Technology Transfer, Knowledge Transfer and
      Knowledge Exchange) and an Exploratory Mode of KE identified.

      The exploratory mode is situated in the context of a innovation funnel,
      illustrating how the concept can be integrated in to a wider process of KE
      project development. Research insights provide a basis for identifying
      enabling factors that influenced the design and delivery of the selected
      projects, these insights in turn are used to inform the design of an
      enabling framework to support future KE projects.

description: Cet article a deux objectifs : identifier les dimensions de la satisfaction des clients et comprendre comment celle-ci influence la performance logistique des prestataires de services logistiques (PSL). Ce travail s'inscrit dans la théorie des capacités dynamiques, qui explique comment les entreprises maintiennent leur performance dans un environnement en évolution. Méthodologiquement, nous avons choisi une approche qualitative, en menant des entretiens semi-directifs avec un échantillon de seize PSL. Cette méthode permet d'explorer en profondeur le phénomène étudié, essentiel pour les recherches qualitatives. Pour garantir la cohérence des données, un guide d'entretien a été élaboré. Les entretiens ont été réalisés en deux étapes : la première concerne la prise de contact et l'explication de l'entretien, tandis que la seconde aborde les thèmes principaux. Les résultats révèlent que la satisfaction client influence positivement la performance logistique et mettent en lumière l'importance d'une nouvelle variable modératrice : la « communication client », qui renforce le lien entre satisfaction et performance logistique des PSL.
title: Zusammenhänge von Unsicherheit, Stress und subjektiver Entscheidungssicherheit
Creators: name: Heereman, Johannes Zuydtwyck Freiherr
Year: 2009

description: In der vorliegenden Studie wurden Hinweise darauf präsentiert, dass die Berücksichtigung des Grades an fehlender Information beim Treffen von Entscheidungen unter Stress durch kognitive Überforderung aussetzt. Es wurde ein selektiver Überblick über neuronale Korrelate zentraler Entscheidungsparameter und ihre Funktionsweise gegeben, anhand derer die beobachteten Effekte erklärt werden können. Striatum und Präfrontalkortex stehen bzgl. der Verhaltenskontrolle in einem kompetitiven Verhältnis, wobei Stressaussetzung striatale Kontrolle beim Treffen von Entscheidungen fördert und präfrontale Kontrolle schwächt. In diesen beiden Strukturen sind Wahrscheinlichkeit und Unsicherheit unterschiedlich kodiert. Während Wahrscheinlichkeit und Risiko im PFC örtlich getrennt und beide phasisch kodiert werden, sind diese im Striatum gemeinsam und in der gleichen Neuronenpopulation kodiert. Während Wahrscheinlichkeit phasisch und schnell vorübergehend kodiert wird, ist Unsicherheit durch langsamere, tonisch anhaltende Dopaminausschüttung im Striatum kodiert. Postsynaptische Dekodierung dieser tonischen Aktivität könnte durch Veränderungen im Dopaminspiegel, beispielsweise bewirkt durch Stress, beeinflusst werden. Insgesamt konnte gezeigt werden, dass Stressaussetzung zu herabgesetzter subjektiver Entscheidungssicherheit führen kann, wenn die als Entscheidungsgrundlage dienende Information vollständig ist (i.e. Risiko), während die Entscheidungssicherheit durch Stress gesteigert werden kann, wenn unvollständige Information (i.e. Ambiguität) als Entscheidungsgrundlage dient. Die Beantwortung der Frage, ob Stressaussetzung zu erhöhter, gleichbleibender oder herabgesetzter Entscheidungssicherheit führt, hängt somit sowohl vom Ausmaß als auch der Qualität der zur Verfügung stehenden Information ab. Da die uns im Alltagsleben umgebende Information weit davon entfernt ist, vollständig zu sein, erachte ich den Effekt stressbedingt erhöhter Entscheidungssicherheit als den Bedeutsameren.
New perspectives on the optimal placement of detectors for suicide bombers using metaheuristics

description: We consider an operational model of suicide bombing attacks -- an increasingly prevalent form of terrorism -- against specific targets, and the use of protective countermeasures based on the deployment of detectors over the area under threat. These detectors have to be carefully located in order to minimize the expected number of casualties or the economic damage suffered, resulting in a hard optimization problem for which different metaheuristics have been proposed. Rather than assuming random decisions by the attacker, the problem is approached by considering different models of the latter, whereby he takes informed decisions on which objective must be targeted and through which path it has to be reached based on knowledge on the importance or value of the objectives or on the defensive strategy of the defender (a scenario that can be regarded as an adversarial game). We consider four different algorithms, namely a greedy heuristic, a hill climber, tabu search and an evolutionary algorithm, and study their performance on a broad collection of problem instances trying to resemble different realistic settings such as a coastal area, a modern urban area, and the historic core of an old town. It is shown that the adversarial scenario is harder for all techniques, and that the evolutionary algorithm seems to adapt better to the complexity of the resulting search landscape.

Приведены результаты исследований по применению новых органоминеральных удобрений, обеспечивающих высокую продуктивность сорта масличного льна ФЛИЗ. Установлено, что увеличение урожайности культуры (1,87 т/га, прибавка биологической урожайности – 0,34 т/га) достигается за счет большего количества коробочек на растении при применении некорневой подкормки органоминеральными удобрениями в виде баковых смесей препаратов по следующей схеме: Батр Гум (1,0 л/га) + Батр Макс (1,0 л/га) – в фазе всходов; Батр Азот (4,0 л/га) + Батр Гум (1,0 л/га) + Батр Макс (2,0 л/га) – в фазе «ёлочки» и Батр Гум (1,0 л/га) + Батр Бор (1,0 л/га) + Батр Макс (1,0 л/га) в фазе бутонизации.
description: The research was conducted in 2024 in the zone of unstable moistening on leached chernozem in the Western Ciscaucasia (village Oktyabrsky, Krasnodar). The results of research on the application of new organomineral fertilizers providing high productivity of oil flax variety FLIZ are presented. It is established that the increase in crop yield (1.87 t/ha, biological increase in yield is 0.34 t/ha) is achieved due to a higher number of pods on the plant at application of foliar fertilization with organomineral fertilizers in the form of tank mixtures of preparations according to the following scheme: Batr Gum (1.0 l/ha) + Batr Max (1.0 l/ha) at the seedling stage; Batr Nitrogen (4.0 l/ha) + Batr Gum (1.0 l/ha) + Batr Max (2.0 l/ha) at the true leaves development stage and Batr Gum (1.0 l/ha) + Batr Bor (1.0 l/ha) + Batr Max (1.0 l/ha) at the budding stage

description: This Policy Brief aims to understand how the EU’s endeavours in the fields of culture and scientific research have been received in Egypt and Tunisia, with the aim of developing a sustainable policy direction. After having identified examples of culture and science relations between the EU and MENA countries, the primary question was: What do the EU’s partners from the neighbouring countries in the South of the Mediterranean think of its approach to science, innovation and its enhancement of external cultural relations? The results of this study and the first conclusions of its analysis made it possible to make some recommendations to guide future EU policies.

description: Aims: Attitudes of medical staff to Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) has been studied before but a comparison between nurses (RNs) and psychiatric technicians (PTs) has not been studied before. Our aim in this study is to evaluate the attitudes and knowledge of RNs and PTs in one of the nationwide largest academic inpatient setting.
Methods: A survey based upon Questionnaire on Attitudes and knowledge of ECT, including sociodemographic variables were prepared and applied to RN and PTs by email who work in Harris County Psychiatric Center. Study was exempt from IRB (IRB number: HSC-MS-17-0905). The outcome data were tabulated using descriptive statistics.
Results: 176 participants responded, 2 of them declined to participate and 12 of them partially completed the survey. Of those responders, 28 of the RNs were male, and 64 were female. 36 of the PTs were male and 27 of them were female. There were significant difference between RNs and PTs for ECT “cruelty”, beneficial effects of ECT, “lack of proof that ECT works” and “ECT should be banned” (t=4.139, p<0.0001; t= -2.805, p=0.006; t=3.526, p=0.001; t=3.819, p<0.0001). RNs appear to have more knowledge about requirement of consenting, indications and medication management.
Conclusions: Overall, both RNs and PTs showed considerably better attitudes and knowledge to ECT, though RNs performed better. All frontline mental health professionals may need to be educated adequately for ECT to have positive attitudes.

title: How Lotteries in School Choice Help to Level the Playing Field

description: The use of lotteries is advocated to desegregate schools. We study lottery quotas embedded in the two most common school choice mechanisms, namely deferred and immediate acceptance mechanisms. Some seats are allocated based on merit (e.g., grades) and some based on lottery draws. We focus on the effect of the lottery quota on truth-telling, the utility of students, and the student composition at schools, using theory and experiments. We find that the lottery quota strengthens truth-telling in equilibrium when the deferred acceptance mechanism is used while it has no clear effect on truth-telling in equilibrium for the immediate acceptance mechanism. This finds support in the experiment. Moreover, the lottery quota leads to more diverse school populations in the experiments, as predicted. Comparing the two mechanisms, students with the lowest grades profit more from the introduction of the lottery under immediate than under deferred acceptance.

title: Die Konstruktion eines Fragebogens zu Beschleunigungen in der Arbeitswelt
Creators: name: Pöppl, Karin
Year: 2009

description: Heutzutage werden Arbeitnehmer zunehmend mit Beschleunigungen in der Arbeitswelt konfrontiert. Der Soziologie Hartmut Rosa (2005) liefert eine ausführliche Analyse zu diesem Thema. Er unterscheidet drei Dimensionen der Beschleunigung, nämlich die technische Beschleunigung, die Beschleunigung des sozialen Wandels und die Beschleunigung des Lebenstempos. Weiters gibt es zahlreiche empirische Befragungen, wie zum Beispiel den „European working condition Survey“, eine Erwerbstätigenbefragung in Deutschland und die Umfrage „Was ist gute Arbeit“, die auf das Phänomen Beschleunigung hinweisen. Die vorliegende Diplomarbeit hat die Entwicklung eines Fragebogens zum Thema Beschleunigungen in der Arbeitswelt zum Ziel. Angelehnt an die drei Dimensionen nach Rosa (2005) dient die Entwicklung von Items, um die wahrgenommenen beschleunigungsspezifischen Anforderungen genauer untersuchen zu können. Neben der Wahrnehmung der Beschleunigung sollte diese in einem zweiten Schritt bewertet werden. Außerdem sollten Einschätzungen der Personen, sowohl für die Vergangenheit, als auch für die Zukunft getätigt werden. Das Messinstrument wurde für Arbeitnehmer, die einer Bürotätigkeit nachgehen entwickelt. Insgesamt wurde der Fragebogen 260 Personen im Februar 2009 vorgegeben. Danach wurden vier explorative Faktorenanalysen und vier konfirmatorische Faktorenanalysen durchgeführt, nämlich jeweils die Wahrnehmung der Beschleunigung in der Vergangenheit und in der Zukunft und die Bewertung der Beschleunigung in der Vergangenheit und Zukunft. Ziel war es, die drei Dimensionen in Anlehnung an Rosa (2006) abzubilden. Drei explorative Faktorenanalysen konnten diese bestätigen. Eine Faktorenanalyse, nämlich die „Wahrnehmung in der Zukunft“ brachte jedoch ein anderes Ergebnis. Die konfirmatorischen Faktorenanalysen konnten die Ergebnisse der explorativen Faktorenanalyse weitgehend bestätigen.
