description: Primary classroom teachers can play a vital role in the music education of primary school students, providing a basis for lifelong learning in music and the arts. Research shows that not all Victorian primary school students have equitable access to specialist music education and that the role of the classroom generalist becomes valuable in supplying or augmenting music education. An instrumental case study was conducted to investigate the music activities delivered by three purposefully selected participants, who were located at Melbourne metropolitan schools. From the analysis of data collected by semi-structured interviews and matrices, themes emerged around music activity identification, delivery, content and context. To add to the body of research about music activities by generalists, the research outcomes from this study included detailed accounts of music activities, listed recommendations by participants about the delivery of music activities, participant perceptions of the planning and place of music activities and the presentation of two frameworks to inform the delivery of music activities by future generalists. The data collected by the study could assist classroom generalists to include music activities in their day to day teaching with the aim to deepen student learning in and through music.
Generation of detection indices and data management for a miniature health and usage monitoring system
Creators: name: Lee, Eric
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: The aim of this research is to search for generic algorithms that are diverse, which will allow the development of a small and low cost ‘Health Usage and Monitoring Systems’ (HUMS) solution called SmartHUMS. The achievement of this research will expand the capabilities of modern HUMS, in a way that allows HUMS benefits to reach areas which are traditionally physically and cost-wise impossible to be applied. In this research, the small to median size ‘Unmanned Aerial Vehicles’ (UAVs) are the primary targets for the application of this low cost HUMS solution.

A prototype SmartHUMS unit was used as the data acquisition system to evaluate the use of Detection Indices to generate a generic HUMS capability which, unlike existing HUMS technologies, does not rely on identifying all possible failure modes and their fault signatures. The process followed involved the selection of candidate algorithms, the testing of those algorithms on two different test rigs and the final quick check that such a result is possible by flying the prototype unit in a manned helicopter.

The generic algorithms selected are ‘Autocorrelation’ and ‘Cross-Correlation’ methods. Both algorithms are being used to analyse vibration signals to detect signal anomalies that correspond to system behavioural changes, which is why this research refers to the generic algorithms as ‘Detection Indices’ (DI). The fundamental characteristic behaviour of the DI analysis results are examined, which help in the differentiation process of separating detected system anomalies into control induced change and non-control induced change. The detected non-control induced anomalies are further analysed with Cyclostatic analysis methods to identify the possible cause of system behaviour change.

title: Kompetenzen von BildungsmanagerInnen in der Erwachsenenbildung
Creators: name: Pigisch, Ulrike
Year: 2010

description: Die vorliegende Diplomarbeit befasst sich mit den Kompetenzen von Bildungsmana-gerInnen in der Erwachsenenbildung, wobei den Fragen nachgegangen wird, ob Bil-dungsmanagement eine Antwort auf aktuelle Problematiken in der Erwachsenenbil-dung darstellt und welche Kompetenzen BildungsmanagerInnen benötigen, um aktu-ellen Problematiken in der Erwachsenenbildung „professionell“ begegnen zu können. Anfänglich wird dargestellt, wie sich der gegenwärtige Status quo in der Erwachse-nenbildung historisch determiniert hat, um aufzuzeigen, warum es zur Herausbildung des Funktionsprofils des Bildungsmanagements gekommen ist. Im Zuge dessen wird auch über die Entwicklung des Bildungsbegriffs Aufschluss gegeben. In der Darstel-lung skeptischer, moderater und befürwortender Positionen werden unterschiedliche Sichtweisen und Zugänge gegenwärtiger Ökonomisierungstendenzen in der Erwach-senenbildung deutlich. Zusätzlich kommt zum Ausdruck, unter welchen Bedingungen Bildungsmanagement eine Chance für die Erwachsenenbildung darstellen würde. Ein besonderes Anliegen dieser Arbeit ist es überdies, einen Beitrag zur Professiona-lisierungsdebatte in der Erwachsenenbildung zu leisten, weshalb immer wieder der Bezug zu professionstheoretischen und -praktischen Elementen hergestellt wird. Als Bezugspunkt für die empirische Untersuchung wird ein Kompetenzprofil für Bil-dungsmanagerInnen erstellt, das im Zuge dieser evaluiert und definiert wird.
description: This thesis deals with the competencies of educational managers in adult education and investigates whether educational management is the answer to current issues in adult education. Furthermore, this thesis explores which skills and competencies educational mangers need in order to act professionally. At the beginning an overview of the historical determination of the status quo is given to explain why a functional profile of educational management has gradually evolved. Furthermore, information is provided about the development of the meaning of edu-cation and its definition. By way of including sceptical, moderate and positive posi-tions this paper also points out current economic approaches to adult education. Moreover, it discusses the chances educational management could open up for adult education. It is a major concern of this thesis to make a contribution to the ongoing discussion about the professionalization of adult education and therefore theoretical and practi-cal elements are continuously included as well. A qualifications profile for managers in adult education, which has been created and used for the empirical analysis, is also evaluated in this thesis.
Mood Alternations in Old High German Subordinate Clauses

Publisher: name: Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia, Italia
Year: 2018

description:

In this paper, Old High German mood alternations in the different types of subordinate clauses (complement, adverbial and relative clauses) are discussed. The use of the subjunctive in subordinate clauses is notoriously more frequent than in Modern German and has not yet been thoroughly investigated. Based on a comprehensive corpus study, the paper will show that the licensing conditions for the subjunctive in Old High German are determined by notions such as veridicality and – in relative contexts – specificity. These conditions are thus similar (but not always identical) to those observed for Modern Greek and Romance languages. Furthermore, a syntactic analysis is provided in order to account for the licensing of the subjunctive in each type of subordinate clause.

Towards a Fine-Grained Theory of Focus
Creators: name: Dal Farra, Chiara
Publisher: name: Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia, Italia
Year: 2018

description:

This paper investigates the roles of focus, arguing that such a notion is too wide and can be applied to several phenomena. I show that focus needs to be further specified for (at least) another feature and is therefore made of smaller primitive traits. These can combine to create bundles of features, which give rise to the several types of foci we know. Moreover, these features are subject to parametrization and can thus account for cross-linguistic differences.

An Evaluative Head in Romance

Year: 2018

description:

In this work, we analyse the behaviour of a verbal suffix in Palermitan – the Romance language spoken in Palermo, Sicily – expressing an evaluative meaning with sentential scope. The suffix is (V)vu, where V is the thematic vowel of the verb. The Palermitan dialect we study here is the one spoken in the urban area, approximately by 250,000 speakers. This suffix is interesting for several reasons. In the first place, an evaluative morpheme with clausal scope is quite unusual in Romance and to our knowledge it has not been reported outside Sicily. In the second place, as we will illustrate later, its use is spreading among the youngest generation, showing that the dialect is productive and the form under scrutiny is adopted by larger segments of the population, even if it does not exist in Italian.

Femtosecond laser processing amorphous silicon thin film for photonics applications
Creators: name: Luan, Haitao
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024
Subjects: classificationCode: 510204
subject: Photonics, optoelectronics and optical communications

description: Devices made from semiconductor materials are popular due to their compact spatial arrangement, trustworthiness, and cheap cost. Amorphous silicon (a-Si) is one of tetrahedral amorphous semiconductor materials with direct bandgaps and is widely acknowledged as a premier low-cost material for many different photonics applications. Femtosecond laser is a ultrafast laser that emits an optical pulse with duration below one picosecond. The dramatic characteristics consisting of the ultrashort pulsewidth and the ultrahigh peak intensity make femtosecond laser technology a promising approach to manufacturable material processing with speedy development.

Currently, the photonics applications based on a-Si thin films are becoming increasingly attractive. However, the fabrication process in industry is still working with the nanosecond laser. The interaction process between the ultrashort laser pulse and the a-Si has not been well studied and demonstrated. It is important to have an essential understanding of the femtosecond laser-material interaction for development of the laser fabrication process and the investigation of the photonics applications.
This work focuses on the investigation of the femtosecond laser/a-Si interaction. The theoretical study of the interaction is demonstrated first. Then, in the laser scribing process of a-Si thin films, narrow and clean grooves are achieved experimentally by employing the femtosecond laser. Finally, the binary holographic images are captured by illuminating the hologram patterns on the a-Si thin films fabricated by direct femtosecond laser writing.

In future, it is crucial to employ the scribing process for the fabrication of high- performance a-Si thin film solar cells. The realisation of a four-level hologram is also of great interest. It is believed that there will be more innovative photonics devices based on a femtosecond laser processing of a-Si thin films.

title: Über die Struktur differenzierter Aufmerksamkeitskonstrukte bei Kindern mit Hirntumoren
Creators: name: Weiler, Liesa Josephine
Year: 2010

description: Ausgangslage: Aufgrund moderner Behandlungsmethoden steigt die Überlebenschance von Kindern mit Hirntumoren. Daraus ergeben sich in der Nachsorge, insbesondere für die Neuropsychologie neue Aufgaben. In dieser Arbeit soll auf das Problem der Aufmerksamkeit näher eingegangen werden, da einerseits Komplikationen in dieser Funktion bekundet werden und andererseits die Aufmerksamkeit für viele andere psychologische Funktionen (z. B. Merkfähigkeit, exekutive Funktionen,…) bedeutsam ist. Ziel war es die Funktion der Aufmerksamkeit in möglichst differenzierter Form darzustellen um Struktur und mögliche Probleme bei Kindern mit Hirntumoren beschreiben zu können. So wurde in einem ersten Schritt versucht ein Modell darzustellen, das wesentliche Ergebnisse empirischer und theoretischer Untersuchungen zu diversen Aufmerksamkeitskonstrukten vereint und schließlich eine Unterscheidung folgender sechs Konstrukte ermöglichte: Alertness, Ablenkbarkeit, Daueraufmerksamkeit, geteilte, fokussierte Aufmerksamkeit und Informationsverarbeitungsgeschwindigkeit. Patienten und Methoden: Anhand des dargestellten Modells wurden 54 Kinder mit Hirntumoren mit 102 gesunden Kindern hinsichtlich der differenzierten Aufmerksamkeitskonstrukte mittels der ANOVA bzw. χ²-Tests verglichen. Die einzelnen Konstrukte wurden mittels ausgewählter Subtests neuropsychologischer Testverfahren (KITAP, HAWIK-IV und D-KEFS) getestet. Ergebnisse: Bei Betrachtung der einzelnen Teilkomponenten der jeweiligen Konstrukte konnten im Bereich der Alertness und der Ablenkbarkeit signifikante Unterschiede festgestellt werden. Das Alter hat einen wesentlichen Einfluss. Hinsichtlich der Daueraufmerksamkeit, scheint es in den erbrachten Leistungen keine Unterschiede zu geben. Kinder mit Hirntumoren unterscheiden sich hingegen signifikant zu den gesunden Kindern, sofern man betrachtet, dass viele der Kinder nicht in der Lage sind die notwendige Aufgabe durchzuführen. In der Informationsverarbeitungsgeschwindigkeit lassen sich signifikante Unterschiede aufdecken. Kinder mit Hirntumoren zeigen diesbezüglich eine Verlangsamung. In der fokussierten Aufmerksamkeit können keine Unterschiede dargestellt werden. Zur Vollständigkeit wurden weitere mögliche Faktoren (Alter des Kindes und Dauer der Erkrankung, Lokalisation und Behandlungsmethoden) bzw. Fremdbeschreibungen durch Eltern und Ärzte betrachtet. Fazit: Aufgrund der Ergebnisse kann angenommen werden, dass sich Aufmerksamkeit in differenzierbare Konstrukte unterteilen lässt, in denen es in Teilbereichen beachtliche Unterschiede gibt.

description:

Building on recent transnational Beat Generation scholarship and focusing on poetry, this essay aims to expand the geographical scope of Beat culture by including Italy. It does so considering a number of questions, such as what ties Beat poets had with Italy and Italian culture; how and when their texts migrated to Italy and with what effects on the receiving culture, including publishers, journalists, general readers and poets. It investigates the ramifications of Beat poetry as a transatlantic flux between the United States and Italy during roughly two and a half decades (1956-1980), re-discovering an otherwise neglected Italian American writer, and assessing whether the Beats’ aesthetics did impact Italian culture glocally.

description:

Although Jules Barbey d’Aurevilly has always been an enemy of Naturalism and its theoretical assumptions, he had to deal with the presentation rules of the ‘clinical’ romance while describing his characters’ suffering bodies. On the one hand, the physiognomy theories, very dear to Balzac, enrich Barbey’s modes of expression and justify the analogy between body and soul; on the other, it is not possible to describe the characters’ bodies and to reveal the mystery behind them. Despite this, the lack of psychological analysis in the récit is compensated by metaphorical characterisation: indeed, similes, metaphors, antithesis and oxymorons enrich the description of characters revealing their main passions and features. The aim of this article is to show, by means of the text analysis of some passages, that the realistic details of descriptions are not vain if related to their metaphorical meaning and that, in so doing, the author overcomes the impasse of the rational scientific observation and the physiognomic interpretation.

Tra lontananza e vicinanza: gli italiani e gli sloveni nel romanzo contemporaneo sloveno in Italia

description:

Border places are of particular interest when it comes to identifying the way in which groups of different nationalities perceive the neighbour, the Other. One of these areas is also Friuli Venezia Giulia, where other nationalities, among which also the Slovenes, have coexisted near their Italian majority for centuries. Since the end of the 19th century until today, the Slovenes of this region have frequently addressed their national minority position through literature. Through it they formed a specific image of themselves and of the neighbouring populations in every period. Taking into consideration some contemporary Slovenian novels written in Italy in the last twenty-six years, the paper aims to investigate their representation of the Other seen as different and external to the community. The questions therefore are: do Slovenes living in Italy perceive as the Other mostly Italians or the members of other nationalities? What are the main reasons for the identification of a subject as different from them? What sort of hierarchy is being established between the various national identities within the examined literary texts? With the help of the imagological method, this article will offer some tentative answers to the questions raised, by considering also the socio-political context.

description: Retrieving criminal ties and mining evidence from an organised crime incident, for example money laundering, has been a difficult task for crime investigators due to the involvement of different groups of people and their complex relationships. Extracting the criminal association from enormous amount of raw data and representing them explicitly is tedious and time consuming. A study of the complex networks literature reveals that graph-based detection methods have not, as yet, been used for money laundering detection. In this research, I explore the use of complex network analysis to identify the money laundering criminals’ communication associations, that is, the important people who communicate between known criminals and the reliance of the known criminals on the other individuals in a communication path.

For this purpose, I use the publicly available Enron email database that happens to contain the communications of 10 criminals who were convicted of a money laundering crime. I show that my new shortest paths network search algorithm (SPNSA) combining shortest paths and network centrality measures is better able to isolate and identify criminals’ connections when compared with existing community detection algorithms and k-neighbourhood detection. The SPNSA is validated using three different investigative scenarios and in each scenario, the criminal network graphs formed are small and sparse hence suitable for further investigation.

My research starts with isolating emails with ‘BCC’ recipients with a minimum of two recipients bcc-ed. ‘BCC’ recipients are inherently secretive and the email connections imply a trust relationship between sender and ‘BCC’ recipients. There are no studies on the usage of only those emails that have ‘BCC’ recipients to form a trust network, which leads me to analyse the ‘BCC’ email group separately. SPNSA is able to identify the group of criminals and their active intermediaries in this ‘BCC’ trust network. Corroborating this information with published information about the crimes that led to the collapse of Enron yields the discovery of persons of interest that were hidden between criminals, and could have contributed to the money laundering activity. For validation, larger email datasets that comprise of all ‘BCC’ and ‘TO/CC’ email transactions are used. On comparison with existing community detection algorithms, SPNSA is found to perform much better with regards to isolating the sub-networks that contain criminals.

I have adapted the betweenness centrality measure to develop a reliance measure. This measure calculates the reliance of a criminal on an intermediate node and ranks the importance level of each intermediate node based on this reliability value. Both SPNSA and the reliance measure could be used as primary investigation tools to investigate connections between criminals in a complex network.

description: Electronic word-of-mouth (eWOM) delivered by vloggers on social media sites (SMSs) has a more powerful influence on consumer product decisions than traditional advertisements. Nevertheless, using SMSs to stimulate vloggers use of eWOMs efficiently remains challenging. Researchers and managers need a more in-depth understanding of the individual factors that influence SMS users’ seeker intentions. There is a dearth of literature examining the impact of cultural and social elements and the visual evidence (videos) on YouTube. Existing studies suggest that Saudi females represent the largest group of fashion vloggers and eWOM seekers on YouTube fashion channels. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the factors that influence Saudi female eWOM-seeking intentions on vlogger fashion YouTube channels. This study uses the theory of utilitarian and hedonic motivations to explore factors related to the social and cultural elements that influence eWOM-seeking intentions by adopting a two-phase mixed method approach.

First, the study implements a qualitative observation ‘netnography’ method to monitor 300 users’ comments on YouTube videos reviewing the fashion industry in Saudi Arabia. The findings of the netnography, in conjunction with findings from literature review, were used to develop a conceptual framework. The conceptual framework includes utilitarian motivations evidence from convenience, availability of information and utilitarian purchase intention. Hedonic motivations were generated through trend discovery, socialising, hedonic purchase intention and innate qualities. Secondly, an online questionnaire tests the relations among variables in the study’s conceptual framework. The data was collected in January and February 2017. A total of 210 usable responses were received. The data were analysed using a partial least squares analysis.

The results indicate user purchase intentions prompted by utilitarian motivations had the most influence on eWOM-seeking intentions. Although trend discovery is determined in the netnographic study, the quantitative results show trend discovery as not being statistically significant in relation to hedonic motivation. Saudi females don’t see religion or language as a priority in endorsing vloggers. This study presents an eWOM-seeking intention framework to help managers design digital marketing strategies based on their target societies and SMSs. Managers should pay more attention to utilitarian motivational aspects. Future research could apply the framework used in this study to other industries and other social media users.

A new approach to antigen delivery using nanoparticle templating system

description: Vaccines are invaluable factors in our current health system for preventing pathogenic infection. However, traditional vaccines have been unsuccessful in preventing against some important infections, such as malaria, HIV and hepatitis C. Although many potential antigens have been discovered, the lack of universal protection may be due to the inability of conventional delivery methods to elicit the immune responses appropriate for a particular infectious agent. Most of the protein subunit vaccines primarily induce antibody-mediated humoral responses; therefore, there is an urgent need for a new delivery method that delivers antigen to also elicit more potent antigen-specific cellular responses. Utilising nanotechnology in the field of medicine has gained pace in recent years. Nanoparticles such as silica, liposomes and more recently synthetic polymer particles, have been developed as vaccine/drug carriers and many are being studied comprehensively as promising candidates. These nanoparticle vehicles have been demonstrated to be efficiently taken up by dendritic cells, one of the most important cells which controls the fate of an antigen-specific immune response. These particles therefore have the ability to induce strong humoral and cellular responses. However, there have been no reports of a vaccine delivery system based on the preparation of nanoparticles derived from antigen only using a template, which would alleviate some of the disadvantages of existing nanoparticles.

Through a templating system using silica nano-sized particles, proteins can be immobilised in the mesoporous shell by solution adsorption. This simple-step preparation of antigen nanoparticles has the potential to develop new generation vaccines against currently unpreventable infectious diseases. In this study, solid core mesoporous shell (SC/MS) silica nanoparticles averaging 410 nm in diameter were fabricated as a template for the subsequent synthesis of protein-based nanocapsules, employing ovalbumin as a model protein. Firstly, the ovalbumin-based nanocapsules of approximately 500 nm were successfully taken up by murine immature dendritic cells, and processed peptides were presented on MHC class I molecules, required for the activation of cytotoxic T cells. Secondly, a murine malarial protein, the merozoite surface protein 4/5 from Plasmodium chabaudi adami was used to synthesise nanocapsules using the templating system, and shown to elicit both humoral and cellular responses in immunised mice. These results highlight the potential of antigen-based nanocapsules, prepared from the nanoparticle templating system, for antigen delivery.
Experimental and numerical investigation of a low temperature thermal pump for reverse osmosis desalination

description: This work focuses on the development of a low temperature (<100°C) thermal water pump and examines the potential for its integration with a reverse osmosis desalination membrane. A review of the available literature in the fields of desalination, thermal energy collection and thermally driven pumps shows that there has been limited research into the use of low temperature thermal energy to drive single phase desalination (e.g. reverse osmosis) systems. Additionally, development of low temperature thermal water pumping systems (for use in irrigations systems etc.) has met with limited success, achieving both low efficiencies, flow rates and delivery pressures.

The system examined here is based on a novel thermodynamic cycle called the TPP cycle which has been shown in theory to be capable of reaching efficiencies of approximately 40% of Carnot for low driving temperature differences. The proposed implementation of the cycle uses isopentane (R601a) as the working fluid.

The original theory describing the cycle is expanded to include considerations for the potential factors that might be introduced for a practical implementation of the cycle.

Three experimental designs are described and tested, and the results analysed. Experimentally, efficiencies of 0.4% for delivery pressures of 200kPa.g are obtained (heat source at 78°C). Specific energy consumptions between 251MJ/m3 and 643MJ/m3 for an average feedwater salinity of 1,146ppm and recovery ratio between 26% and 42% are achieved when combined with a reverse osmosis membrane.

A numerical model of the system based on one of the experimental designs is developed in MATLAB-Simulink and used to further investigate the potential of a practical TPP system. An improved design is proposed based on the simulated results. The predicted performance of this system suggests that an overall efficiency of approximately 2% could be achieved with an overall delivery flow rate of 109L/hr at 200kPa.g.

Two case studies using the predicted performance of the improved design are presented which show the performance of a single TPP and TPP-RO system over the course of a year in southern Australia. The studies show that a single TPP or TPP-RO module (with a stroke volume of 2.18L and boiler and condenser surface area of 0.007m^2 and 0.008m^2 respectively) could operate almost continuously for the entire year with a thermal storage tank of 2m^3 and three commercial solar thermal collectors (total area of 6.39m^2). The expected volume delivered for the TPP system is 428m^3/year while the expected specific energy consumption and product water produced are 44.5MJ/m^3 and 130m^3/year respectively based on an assumed feedwater salinity of 2,200ppm and a 30% recovery ratio.

description: Leptin, resistin and insulin are hormones that circulate in the blood and cross the blood brain barrier. In the brain, they are thought to activate specific regions, which play important roles in energy homeostasis and cardiovascular regulation. The plasma levels of these hormones have been shown to be elevated in overweight and obese conditions, and an increased sympathetic nerve activity (SNA) is also observed in these conditions. In addition, leptin, resistin and insulin plasma levels are strongly correlated with increases in blood pressure suggesting that these hormones may have cardiovascular effects. In high fat diet (HFD), the effects of leptin on renal sympathetic nerve activity (RSNA) are well known. However, the effects of insulin are little known, and the effects of resistin are not known. Since leptin, resistin and insulin levels are increased significantly in obesity and each of these hormones alone can increase RSNA, the question arises as to whether there is an interaction between these hormones on cardiovascular regulation. Thus, the general aim of this thesis was to compare the effects of leptin, resistin and insulin alone and in combination on RSNA, mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR) in rats fed a normal chow diet (ND) or HFD. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were fed a ND and HFD for approximately 8-10 weeks. Saline (5 µl), leptin (7 µg/5 µl), resistin (7 µg/5 µl) and insulin (500 mU/5 µl) were administered intracerebroventricularly (ICV) and RSNA, MAP and HR were monitored and recorded before and for 3 hours after the drug administration. We found that ICV administration of the interaction of (leptin + resistin) increases SNA to the kidney in ND and HFD animals. The effects of leptin and insulin in combination showed that HFD significantly reduced the RSNA responses induced by these hormones in contrast to the increases seen in ND. When resistin and insulin were combined, the response to RSNA was not increased in ND and this effect in HFD, RSNA fell markedly. Together, these data suggest that in HFD the presence of insulin with resistin or leptin may result in a negative interaction on RSNA. However, the positive interaction in HFD seen between resistin and leptin might overcome any negative interaction between insulin with resistin or leptin. Therefore, the interaction between leptin and resistin might be implicated in the abnormal elevation RSNA, seen in overweight /obese conditions.
