description: The writer Virgilio Rodríguez Macal, through his essays, narratives, and journalistic chronicles, actively participated in the great debates about the fate of the Guatemalan nation during and after the socialist governments of the Revolution (1944-1954). This thesis delves into a neglected oeuvre the study of which sheds light on an original perspective about a national period with continental repercussions. I study his regionalist novels Carazamba (1953), Jinayá (1956) and Guayacán (1962) within the framework of Guatemala and Latin America’s intellectual, literary and socio-political history. This approach, in combination with a close textual analysis, allows me to show that Rodríguez Macal, with a firm footing in the Latin American lettered tradition of political commitment to the construction of the nation, propounds narrative worlds that amount to national integration programs centered around the northern region of the country. I demonstrate that Rodríguez Macal adopts a regionalist aesthetic to postulate a Guatemalan autochthonous essence based on the discourse of narrators who act as discerners of that same essence based on a scientific knowledge derived from disciplines such as anthropology, historiography and sociology. Lastly, I reveal that this literary project is the expression of an independent intellectual trajectory preoccupied with proposing alternative projects for the modernization and territorialization of the nation.

description: Submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) is defined as any input of water to the ocean coming from continental margins and sediments, regardless of its source or composition. This thesis aimed to gain a better understanding of carbon transported by SGD to three different coastal environments. To achieve these aims, I estimated SGD fluxes and associated carbon fluxes using isotopic mass balance models. The first environment was an urbanized estuary close to a megacity (Sydney Harbour, Australia), the second was a pristine coral reef in an active volcanic area (Mabini, Philippines) and the third was a salt marsh belonging to a national estuarine reserve (North Inlet, SC, USA). I assessed the relative contribution of SGD to water and carbon fluxes. At the Sydney Harbour estuary, the estimated SGD rates (2.2±1.5 cm d-1) were comparable to the global average of radium-derived-SGD in other urban estuaries (3.1±2.4 cm d-1). SGD can deliver between 124 to 203 x103 mol d-1 of dissolved organic carbon, a flux that exceeds local river inputs by over 100%. Nutrients also exceeded riverine exports to the estuary, meaning that SGD plays a major role sustaining primary productivity. At a coral reef receiving hydrothermal inputs in the Philippines, SGD exports 254 ± 35 mmol m2 d-1 of CO2 sustaining seawater super-saturation and driving localized ocean acidification. Finally, in a salt marsh in North Inlet, USA, SGD exported 57± 43 mmol m2 d-1 of CO2, 602± 460 mmol m2 d-1of DIC and 19± 14 mmol m2 d-1of DOC. These carbon fluxes exceeded carbon burial in the salt marsh soils. Hence, groundwater flushes soil carbon and reduces the potential of the marsh soils to sequester carbon over long time scales. Overall, this work provides insight and perspective on the implications of SGD in three contrasting coastal environments. SGD is often an overlooked component in the carbon cycling of diverse coastal ecosystems, and should be accounted for in coastal carbon budgets.

description: The relatively recent insight that energy input from supermassive black holes (BHs) can have a substantial effect on the star formation rates (SFRs) of galaxies motivates us to examine the effects of BH feedback on the scale of galaxy groups. At present, groups contain most of the galaxies and a significant fraction of the overall baryon content of the Universe and, along with massive clusters, they represent the only systems for which it is possible to measure both the stellar and gaseous baryonic components directly. To explore the effects of BH feedback on groups, we analyse two high-resolution cosmological hydrodynamic simulations from the OverWhelmingly Large Simulations (OWLS) project. While both include galactic winds driven by supernovae, only one of the models includes feedback from accreting BHs. We compare the properties of the simulated galaxy groups to a wide range of observational data, including the entropy and temperature profiles of the intragroup medium, hot gas mass fractions, the luminosity temperature and mass temperature scaling relations, the K-band luminosity of the group and its central brightest galaxy (CBG), SFRs and ages of the CBG, and gas- and stellar-phase metallicities. Both runs yield entropy distributions similar to the data, while the run without active galactic nucleus (AGN) feedback yields highly peaked temperature profiles, in discord with the observations. Energy input from supermassive BHs significantly reduces the gas mass fractions of galaxy groups with masses less than a few x 1014 Me, yielding a gas mass fraction and X-ray luminosity scaling with system temperature that is in excellent agreement with the data, although the detailed scatter in the L T relation is not quite correct. The run without AGN feedback suffers from the well-known overcooling problem the resulting stellar mass fractions are several times larger than observed and present-day cooling flows operate uninhibitedly. By contrast, the run that includes BH feedback yields stellar mass fractions, SFRs and stellar age distributions in excellent agreement with current estimates, thus resolving the long-standing 'cooling crisis' of simulations on the scale of groups. Both runs yield very similar gas-phase metal abundance profiles that match X-ray measurements, but they predict very different stellar metallicities. Based on the above, galaxy groups provide a compelling case that feedback from supermassive BHs is a crucial ingredient in the formation of massive galaxies.

description: L’opera di Buzzati suggerisce all’analista, anche in accordo con lo stile “onirico” proprio dell’autore, come un lungo sogno che si sviluppa a partire da una situazione di “passaggio” di una fase della vita in cui la capacità di contenimento dell’esperienza emozionale viene profondamente messa in crisi. La crisi del contenitore, che si palesa fin dalle prime righe del racconto, mette  in movimento dei sistemi di autocontenimento che dovrebbero garantire l’evitamento dell’esperienza traumatica: la negazione del tempo, con la conseguente sospensione dell’esperienza in uno stato di “attesa”, meccanismi ossessivi e “omosessuali” tendenti all’evitamento di ogni esperienza del differente che possa sconvolgere una apparentemente tranquillizzante omeostasi, sono rappresentati nei personaggi e nelle situazioni del “sogno”, per giungere infine ad una visione drammatica delle loro conseguenze.
description: Buzzati’s romance suggests to the analyst, even in the best dreaming style of the author, as a long dream that develops from a situation of "passage" of a phase of life in which the capacity to containment of emotional experience is deeply into crisis. The crisis of the container, which is expressed from the very first lines of the story, set in motion the self-containment systems that should ensure avoidance of the traumatic experience: the negation of time, resulting in the suspension of the experience in a state of "waiting”, obsessional and “homosexuals” mechanisms tending to avoidance of any experience of different that can disrupt a seemingly reassuring homeostasis, are represented in the characters and situations of the “dream", to finally reach a dramatic vision of their consequences.

description: In Canada, out of the total Aboriginal populations, the older Aboriginal adult populations continue to increase and suffer disproportionately poor health compared to non-Aboriginal seniors. Despite these facts, there is a dearth of research concerning Aboriginal older adults, especially regarding their engagement with physical activity. My thesis is written in the publishable paper format and is comprised of two papers. Using a scoping study methodology in paper one, I demonstrate that intersecting factors such as colonialism, social inequities, and physical activity practices that are rooted in Western ideals and do not address Indigenous older adults’ needs, all contribute to Indigenous older adults’ lack of participation in physical activity. Using a case study approach in paper two, I demonstrate how Elders In Motion, a program offered by the Northwest Territories Recreation and Parks Association (NWTRPA), shows a shift in physical activity programs becoming more respectful of older Aboriginal adults’ cultures and communities; however, while the staff at the NWTRPA has made a strong effort to adapt a southern-based program for northern communities in the NWT, there are several program features that reaffirm colonial practices and support Westernized ideas of physical activity. Taken together, the papers in this thesis make apparent that physical activity programs and research concerning physical activity for older Aboriginal adults continue to be embedded in colonial practices. As a result, there is a demonstrated need for program development and research in this area to work towards reducing health disparities and challenging colonial practices.

description: Background: Stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) has become an established treatment option for medically-inoperable early-stage (Stage I-IIA) non-small cell lung cancer (ES-NSCLC). SABR is able to obtain high rates of local control with low rates of symptomatic toxicity in this patient population. However, in a subset of patients with fibrotic interstitial lung disease (ILD), elevated rates of SABR-related toxicity and mortality have been described. The Assessment of Precision Irradiation in Early Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer and Interstitial Lung Disease (ASPIRE-ILD) study will conduct a thorough prospective evaluation of the clinical outcomes, toxicity, changes in diagnostic test parameters and patient-related outcomes following SABR for ES-NSCLC for patients with fibrotic ILD. Methods: ASPIRE-ILD is a single-arm Phase II prospective study. The accrual target is 39 adult patients with T1–2N0M0 non-small cell lung cancer with co-existing ILD who are not candidates for surgical excision. Pathological confirmation of diagnosis is strongly recommended but not strictly required. Enrolled patients will be stratified by ILD-related mortality risk. The starting SABR dose will be 50 Gy in 5 fractions every other day (biologically effective dose: 100 Gy₁₀ or 217 Gy₃), but the radiation dose can be de-escalated up to two times to 50 Gy in 10 fractions daily (75 Gy₁₀ or 133 Gy₃) and 45 Gy in 15 fractions daily (58 Gy₁₀ or 90 Gy₃). Dose de-escalation will occur if 2 or more of the first 7 patients in a cohort experiences grade 5 toxicity within 6 months of treatment. Similarly, dose de-escalation can also occur if 2 or more of the first 7 patients with a specific subtype of ILD experiences grade 5 toxicity within 6 months of treatment. The primary endpoint is overall survival. Secondary endpoints include toxicity (CTC-AE 4.0), progression-free survival, local control, patient-reported outcomes (cough severity and quality of life), rates of ILD exacerbation and changes in pulmonary function tests/high-resolution computed tomography findings post-SABR. Discussion: ASPIRE-ILD will be the first prospective study specifically designed to comprehensively evaluate the effectiveness and safety of SABR for ES-NSCLC in patients with co-existing ILD.

description: La mostra intitolata “Forme per il David”, che si tenne all’Accademia di Firenze tra il 2004 e il 2005, e l’analisi delle reazioni degli spettatori sono l’occasione per una serie di riflessioni sulle dinamiche psicologiche della ricezione artistica. Dopo alcune note preliminari di carattere metodologico sui problemi dell’interdisciplinarità e sulle modalità di una ricerca empirica circa l’atteggiamento del pubblico nei musei, il saggio (anche sulla base delle reazioni del pubblico nei confronti del David di Michelangelo) si sofferma sugli elementi erotico-pulsionali nella fruizione dell’arte, proponendo alcune critiche all’uso del concetto di sublimazione.  Si parla poi del ruolo e dei “gradi” del perturbante e delle dinamiche dei processi di identificazione nello studio della ricezione dell’arte. Inoltre viene sottolineata l’importanza del “contesto” della fruizione come preliminare per la comprensione dei suoi meccanismi. L’ultimo paragrafo è dedicato al problema dell’emozione considerata tra psicologia, arte ed estetica.
description: The exhibition entitled "Forme per il David", which took place at the Accademia of Florence between 2004 and 2005, and the analysis of the spectators’ reactions are the occasion for a series of reflections on psychological dynamics of the reception of art. After some preliminary notes on methodological issues of interdisciplinarity and on the way of empirical research about the attitude of the public in museums, the article (even taking into account the reactions of the audience in front of Michelangelo's David) focuses on the erotic-instinctual elements in the enjoyment of arts, and offers some criticism about the use of the sublimation’s concept. It then speaks about the role and "degrees" of the “Uncanny” and about the dynamics of identification processes in the study of art fruition. It also emphasizes the importance of the "context" of use as a preliminary to the understanding of its mechanisms. The last section is devoted to the problem of emotion considered from the point of view of psychology, art and aesthetics.

Inner and outer photometric structure of elliptical galaxies

Publisher: name: Swinburne

description: The Nuker model, when applied to the inner regions of 'core' galaxies, is shown to produce systematic biases in the determination of the core break radii. These can easily be (and often have been, see also Trujillo et al. 2002) over-estimated by more than 100%. Moreover, due to curvature in the outer profiles of early-type galaxies, none of the Nuker model parameters are found to be robust quantities. A new empirical model that simultaneously describes both the inner and outer light-profiles of elliptical galaxies (and bulges in general) is presented. In a sense, it is hybrid of the Nuker model and consists of an inner power-law, a transition region, and an outer Sersic function.

description: Charge trapping produces noise and aging in nanometer scale devices. This may be seen as a time dependent degradation in devices and circuits. We show that with area scaling increasing variability in noise and aging is a more relevant concern than the increase in expected (average) degradation. We address the time dependent variability from device to circuit level. Circuit level analysis includes discussing how charge trapping may induce time dependent mismatch.

description: Background: Active self-management is a process where patients are fully engaged in managing their health in daily life by having access to contextualized health data and tailored guidance to support a healthy lifestyle. This study aims to determine whether an e-health intervention that incorporates symptom/disease activity monitoring and physical activity counselling can improve self-management ability in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methods: The ‘Empowering active self-management of arthritis: Raising the bar with OPERAS (an On-demand Program to EmpoweR Active Self-management)’ project is a randomized controlled trial that uses a delayed control design. One hundred thirty-four participants with RA will be randomly assigned to start the intervention either immediately (immediate group) or 6 months later (delayed group). The intervention involves (1) use of a Fitbit-compatible web app to record and monitor their RA disease activity, symptoms, and time spent on physical activity and a Fitbit; (2) group education and individual counselling by a physiotherapist (PT); and (3) six phone calls with a PT. The primary outcome measure is self-management ability measured by the Patient Activation Measure. Secondary outcome measures include disease status, fatigue, pain, depressive symptoms, and characteristics of habitual behavior and also time spent in physical activity and sedentary activity with a wearable multi-sensor device (SenseWear Mini). After the 6-month intervention, we will interview a sample of participants to examine their experiences with the intervention. Discussion: The results of this study will help to determine whether this technology-enhanced self-management intervention improves self-management ability and health outcomes for people living with RA. A limitation of this study is that participants will need to self-report their symptoms, disease status, and treatment use through questionnaires on the OPERAS web app. The user-friendly interface, reminder emails from the research staff, and tailored guidance from PTs will encourage participants to actively engage with the app. Trial registration: Date of last update in ClinicalTrials.gov: January 2, 2019.

description: Effective management of coastal habitats improves the user experience, while minimising degenerative impacts to the environment. Best practice coastal management is based on an extensive suite of routinely collected data, which can be challenging to acquire over expansive coastlines. To address this, innovative aerial remote sampling techniques are increasingly being used to cost-effectively collect information for evidence-based coastal management. Remotely piloted aerial systems (hereafter called drones), bridge the gap between on-ground surveys and conventional aerial sampling techniques. Improvements to drone technology have reduced the cost and skill required to operate drones in coastal areas. These drone-based techniques must, however, be further developed and compared against traditional methods to understand their relative strengths and weaknesses. My thesis explores the capability of current drone technologies for data collection that informs coastal management. This was achieved by developing novel drone-based methods for data collection and comparing these to established techniques to determine costs and benefits, as well as improvements to sampling precision. Specifically, I used drone-based techniques to inform sandy beach management by quantifying and classifying recreational users (Chapters 2 & 3). An investigation of recreational beach users was successfully undertaken using drones to provide simultaneous comparisons among beaches and was also compared to a desktop approach using existing orthomosaic databases collected from crewed aircraft. Additionally, I assessed the value of drone-based monitoring to support fisheries management by detecting passive fishing gear (Chapter 4) and quantifying recreational fishers (Chapter 5). Drones were capable of detecting a large proportion of crab traps and floats, though their utility was limited by water visibility. While drones could quantify recreational fishers, their use was subject to visibility bias and did not provide a substantial improvement on more conventional vessel-based techniques. Knowledge of when, where and how to best use drones is important for developing additional drone-based monitoring methods. Overall, I found that drones can contribute to informative and cost-effective data collection within coastal areas, albeit with some limitations. This project highlights the potential for drones as a tool for cost-effective monitoring of coastal areas to improve evidence-based management.

description: Previous studies suggest that testosterone and several neurotransmitters might interactively influence human aggression. The current study aimed to test potential interactions of a genetic variation linked to the catabolism of serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine and exogenous testosterone on the reaction towards non-social provocation. In total, 146 male participants were genotyped for a prominent polymorphism of the monoamine oxidase A (MAOA) gene resulting in a short and long variant. Participants completed a non-social frustration task after receiving either testosterone or a placebo gel in a double-blind set-up. Participants performed a non-social frustration task, where they had to direct a virtually moving ball into a barrel by pulling a joystick (neutral block). During a frustration block, the joystick repeatedly did not respond to participants’ reactions thereby causing failed trials to which participants reacted with increased anger and stronger pulling of the joystick. We analyzed the effect of testosterone administration on emotion and behavior in individuals who either carried a low (L) or high (H) activity MAOA variant. Testosterone administration increased provocation-related self-reported anger and abolished the association between trait aggression and joystick deflection in the frustration block. In MAOA-H carriers endogenous testosterone levels at baseline were associated with increased joystick deflection in both blocks. There was, however, no interaction of testosterone administration and genotype. Although preliminary, the results rather indicate independent influences of exogenous testosterone administration and MAOA, but support an interaction of endogenous testosterone levels and MAOA genetics in a frustration task. The administration of testosterone seems to act on the subjective emotional experience in a provoking situation, while endogenous testosterone levels increased pulling impulses only in carriers of the MAOA-H variant.

description: Neonicotinoids are an emerging class of insecticides, with potential for aquatic toxicity, that have been used within the last decades as agrochemicals. These insecticides have been detected in Australian aquatic systems. Here I investigate the impacts of a neonicotinoid (imidacloprid) on Sydney rock oyster. There was a quick uptake of imidacloprid and a fast elimination when the exposed oysters were placed in clean water. Imidacloprid was found to impact a wide range of behavioural, physiological and biochemical parameters in oysters. The impact of imidacloprid on oysters was not compounded at mild salinity reduction or by other ingredients in a commercial formulation. This confirms that imidacloprid alone can impact oyster health.

description: Olefin metathesis is the most powerful, versatile reaction in current use for the formation of new carbon-carbon bonds. While metathesis has been known for over 60 years, it has only recently been implemented into pharmaceutical and specialty chemical manufacturing. The slow uptake of olefin metathesis can be attributed in part to low catalyst productivity, a consequence of short catalyst lifetime. Improving catalyst activity is critical for the advancement of metathesis. This improvement can be achieved through greater understanding of the catalysts and their limitations. The ability to perform metathesis in aqueous media is desirable, but as yet largely unrealized, for the modification of water-soluble, biologically-relevant substrates. At present, high catalyst loadings are necessary even for less demanding metathesis reactions in water. The limited mutual solubility of the catalyst and substrate in water are one limitation. Examined in this thesis are more fundamental challenges associated with catalyst deactivation by water. The impact of water on catalyst productivity was assessed for both the second-generation Grubbs catalyst GII, and the phosphine-free Hoveyda catalyst HII, in ring-closing and cross-metathesis reactions. Water was shown to have a negative impact on metathesis productivity, owing to catalyst decomposition. The decomposition pathway was catalyst-dependent: GII was found to decompose through a pathway in which water accelerated abstraction of the methylidene ligand by dissociated phosphine. For HII, water was found to decompose the metallacyclobutane intermediate. A β-hydride transfer mechanism was proposed, to account for the organic decomposition products observed. Chapter 4 focuses on problems encountered during the synthesis of ruthenium catalysts, and presents improved methods. An updated method was developed for the synthesis of phenyldiazomethane, the principal source of the alkylidene ligand required in synthesis of GI. Challenges in use of the phosphine-scavenging resin Amberlyst-15 resin are discussed. Improving synthetic routes to the important first- and second-generation Grubbs catalysts will aid in expansion of olefin metathesis methodologies, particularly in the industrial context, in which batch-to-batch reproducibility is paramount.

Abstract:

The University of Manchester RSE department currently services around 70 research projects with the collective pipeline of projects just short of 100. Our department of 48 engineers is built to support research and academics; however, the scale of the operation brings with it complex managerial challenges around managing workloads, maintaining relationships with researchers and ensuring successful, collaborative project delivery. We need to ensure that our RSE developers and senior RSEs (in their capacity as project managers) are prepared and supported with adequate tooling and processes to deliver these projects both flexibly and consistently.

Consequently, we have implemented our own flavour of “Scrum” within GitHub projects. Scrum is a popular implementation of the principles of agile project management and software development. According to the Scrum Guide (https://www.scrum.org/resources/scrum-guide), Scrum is a lightweight agile framework that helps people, teams and organisations generate value through adaptive solutions for complex problems. This, to us, sounds an awful lot like research!

In this presentation, we will explain how agile working methods encourage a mindset where changes in requirements are the norm and where the solution development process embraces that change. In Scrum, this is achieved by continuously updating the requirements, working in “timeboxes”, and continuously engaging our academic customers. We have rolled our adaptation out across the department via a practical 2-day course for all RSEs and successfully tested it on an increasing number of research projects.

Attendees will learn how a Scrum Team works, and two of the available project management tools (Jira and GitHub Projects) with a focus on the latter. They will have a theoretical understanding of Scrum ‘Roles’, ‘Artefacts’ and ‘Ceremonies’. It will increase their understanding of how agile and scrum has been adapted within an RSE team and increase their ability to decide whether this process would be useful in their own workplaces/teams.

description: We have studied the magnetic and structural properties of synthetic and meteoritic face centred cubic (FCC) Fe-Ni alloys in an effort to understand the underlying mechanisms responsible for the Invar and anti-Invar effects. We have performed a detailed 57Fe Mossbauer spectroscopic and electronic imaging study of the Santa Catharina meteorite, an FCC Fe-Ni meteorite with a bulk composition close to that of Invar (Fe65Ni 35). Its microstructure consists of islands of tetrataenite in a matrix of Fe-rich antitaenite. Using Mossbauer spectroscopy (MS) and electron probe microanalysis (EPMA), we have determined that antitaenite is a low moment alloy with an Fe content of 88 +/- 2 at. %. Antitaenite appears to be stabilized in the FCC phase by its epitaxial relation with tetrataenite. Its Neel temperature is ∼60 K and its isomer shift (IS) is close to that of gamma-Fe. The effect of the magnetic interaction with tetrataenite has been studied by Monte Carlo (MC) simulations and have been shown to be consistent with the anomalous temperature dependence of the width of the antitaenite's Mossbauer spectrum. Using electronic structure calculations (ESCs), we have studied the T = 0 K properties of chemically ordered and disordered FCC Fe-Ni alloys in the ferromagnetic (FM), non-magnetic (NM) and disordered local moment (DLM) states. A significant drop in the IS and in the atomic volume are shown to occur at the transition from the high moment (HM) FM phase to the NM phase which occurs, according to our calculations, at 74.5 at. % Fe. Our calculations of the DLM and FM states show that in Fe-rich Invar alloys, the FM order contributes to stabilizing large moment magnitudes. Our systematic study of the hyperfine fields (HF) by ESCs supports the phenomenological model of Dang and Rancourt (1996a). Calculations on a supercell of Fe11Ni5 show the effects of nearest neighbour (NN) chemical and magnetic environments on the local magnetic moment magnitude and the HF distribution, thereby explaining the main observed features in Fe-rich alloys. Using the IS as a direct probe of the electronic structure, a HM/LM (low moment) transition has been unambiguously observed to occur at ∼70 at. % Fe. Our results have allowed us to conclude that the Invar effect in Fe-Ni is not directly caused by HM/LM admixture or so-called 2-gamma-state like excitations. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

description: Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) is popularly used among breast cancer patients to improve their quality of life. CAM includes dietary supplements such as Active Hexose Correlated Compound (AHCC®), a cultured mushroom extract shown to positively influence the immune system and cancer. Breast cancer recurrence is believed to be caused by cancer stem cells (CSCs). We postulated that AHCC impacts CSCs epigenetically by targeting miRNA pathways. The effects of AHCC on mammosphere growth were observed in MDA-MB-231, MCF-7, and 4T1 cells. Profiling, RT2-qPCR, and western blot analyses were performed to determine AHCC influence on miRNAs and Tenascin C protein in TNBC cell line MDA-MB-231. Balb/c mice were gavaged with AHCC to examine tumorigenesis effects. Our results demonstrated that AHCC reduced mammosphere growth and cell migration, and upregulated tumor suppressor miR-335 expression in different biological settings. Inhibition of miR-335 increased Tenascin C expression. Consequently, AHCC may influence BCSCs through miRNA pathways.

description: Increased use of communication headsets found in various workplaces raises concerns regarding exposure to potentially hazardous noise levels. Current national and international standards specify a wide range of simple and specialized methods for the measurement of sound exposure under communication headsets. However, to date, quantitative data comparing the degree of agreement between the different measurement methods or their relative performance are lacking, and it is not known if occupational health and safety (OHS) or hearing loss prevention (HLP) stakeholders have the necessary training and equipment to integrate them in their daily practice. A three-step study addressing several knowledge gaps on this topic is presented in this thesis. First, a questionnaire survey distributed to OHS and HLP stakeholders has revealed that knowledge of specialized measurement techniques and access to the necessary equipment varies significantly depending on the training of the different professionals. There is therefore reason to specify several methods in measurement standards to meet the specific needs and expertise of the different stakeholders involved. Second, a series of experiments conducted with single and multiple expert participants indicated that the Type 1 artificial ear is not suited for sound exposure measurement with communication headsets, while Type 2 and Type 3.3 artificial ears are in good agreement with the acoustic manikin technique specified in the International standard ISO 11904-2. Finally, laboratory experiments were conducted to test the indirect calculation method proposed in the Canadian standard CSA Z107.56. Results revealed that the calculation method is suitable to identify possible situations of exposure over the regulatory limit (e.g. 85 dBA), but refinements are proposed to improve measurement accuracy. Overall, this thesis provides new knowledge to guide selection of the most suitable methods for the assessment of communication headset exposure taking into account expertise, access to equipment, and field logistic constraints. Results also have direct implications for future revisions of existing measurement standards. Finally, this work could be the basis for detailed guidelines on noise exposure measurements under communication headsets to better inform OHS and HLP professionals and ultimately prevent occupational noise-induced hearing loss.
Realising the Potential of Cultural Safety in Education

description: This thesis investigated how privileging the voice of Bundjalung Elders, applying Indigenous models such as art, yarning, dance, and Indigenous philosophical approaches such as Wana Werlu (be the best version of yourself), enhances quality teaching and learning for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students. Aboriginal cultural strengths live in the voices, art, dance, tracks and trails of people engaged in Country. These strengths become more apparent the deeper one explores Country. My methodology for this thesis was based on Indigenous Knowledge (IK) using yarning as a rich data source, alongside reflexive journaling and train of thought.
description: This thesis critically reflects upon the protocols and permissions required to develop a cultural educational resource. To achieve this, I actively listened to Bundjalung Elders and coded the emerging themes from a series of yarns. Through this process, major themes arose concerning Indigenous students’ connection with education. I intend to embed these themes in a future study incorporating a dance workshop, yarning and art. The goal of this thesis is to assist in developing equity in education for Indigenous students. To achieve this goal, it is vital to create awareness among teachers of the importance of facilitating a culturally safe environment for students.
description: This study investigated whether cultural dance could assist Aboriginal students' learning within the secondary education system. I critically reflected on the permission to incorporate the White Owl Totem of the Bandjalang Corporation into a dance workshop to engage Indigenous students with Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). Initially, I explored dance as a creative tool that may allow Indigenous Knowledge to emerge through the context of STEM. Due to COVID-19 lockdowns, my research journey and this thesis became much more layered, open, moving and informed by Bundjalung Country and its Elders, and directly related to finding better ways of doing things in the classroom. To some extent, this is a normal part of a journey; it is open to change, and within this change, I have checked back with my Elders on the pivots that I made to complete the thesis; this was done to ensure its value to the local community. During this journey, I have critically reflected upon the relationships, my education experience, pedagogy, pivots and gaining local permission. This reflection has unveiled some parallel focuses of my own life experiences and realising the potential of cultural safety in the classroom through privileging the voice of Elders.
Retrieving the record: detectives to the fore

description: A ferocious debate ensued after the publication of Keith Windschuttle's 'The Fabrication of Aboriginal History'. In his book, Windschuttle accuses some of Australia's most respected historians of misquoting and misinterpreting primary sources relating to the colonial history of Tasmania. Most of Windschuttle's detractors, however, focused on the tone and sentiment of his book rather than on his specific allegations. Only a handful of historians are familiar with the relevant archives. Most of those outside the historical profession - be they journalists, politicians or members of the general public - were even less able to make informed comments about Windschuttle's claims because they were unfamiliar with the nature of archival research.
