AGAINST THE ODDS- Why do some young people (16 to 25 years) who are deemed to be susceptible resist joining gangs?
Creators: name: Osei, Michael
Publisher: name: University of Surrey
Year: 2023

description: Recent years have witnessed growing concern about the existence of youth gangs and the engagement of their members in violent crime including gun and knife crime. Researchers in America, where a substantial amount of the literature on gangs derives, have identified five main developmental domains which influence the probability of youth gang membership. The five domains are: individual, family, community, school, and peers. The research found that young people who suffer adverse experiences in one or more of these five domains were at greater risk of joining a gang. However, there are individuals who do not conform to this ideology despite suffering adverse experiences in one or more of these developmental domains. As yet, little or no recent research exists in the UK to explain why some youths defy the odds and not join gangs. By employing semi-structured interviews of young people and youth practitioners, this qualitative research aims to improve our understanding of youth gang membership by exploring the mechanisms that, from their perspective, have stopped some potentially vulnerable young men (aged 16 to 25) growing up in the North London borough of Portville from joining gangs. This study found that young participants who experience a wide range of risk factors including offending, concerns over personal safety, weak parental supervision, school exclusion, and close association with gang members have increased probability of gang membership. However, protective factors that appeared to buffer risk factors included fear of violent victimisation, feeling safe in the community, resilience during setbacks, positive relationship with parents, positive relationship with teachers, and dissociation from peers who engage in criminal activities. Moreover, the results indicated that some single protective factors are able to nullify the effects of multiple risk factors. The conclusion outlines potential recommendations that can be explored and implemented to prohibit youths who experience risk factors from gang membership.

description: oupled balloon-borne observations of Light Optical Aerosol Counter (LOAC), M10 meteorological global positioning system (GPS) sondes, ozonesondes, and GPS radio occultation data, are examined to identify gravity-wave (GW)-induced fluctuations on tracer gases and on the vertical distribution of stratospheric aerosol concentrations during the 2013 ChArMEx (Chemistry-Aerosol Mediterranean Experiment) campaign. Observations reveal signatures of GWs with short vertical wavelengths less than 4 km in dynamical parameters and tracer constituents, which are also correlated with the presence of thin layers of strong local enhancements of aerosol concentrations in the upper troposphere and the lower stratosphere. In particular, this is evident from a case study above Ile du Levant (43.02° N, 6.46° E) on 26-29 July 2013. Observations show a strong activity of dominant mesoscale inertia GWs with horizontal and vertical wavelengths of 370-510 km and 2-3 km respectively, and periods of 10-13 h propagating southward at altitudes of 13-20 km during 27-28 July. The European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) analyses also show evidence of mesoscale inertia GWs with similar horizontal characteristics above the eastern part of France. Ray-tracing experiments indicate the jet-front system as the main source of observed GWs. Using a simplified linear GW theory, synthetic vertical profiles of dynamical parameters with large stratospheric vertical wind maximum oscillations of ±40 mms-1 are produced for the dominant mesoscale GW observed at heights of 13-20 km. Parcel advection method reveals signatures of GWs in the ozone mixing ratio and the tropospheric-specific humidity. Simulated vertical wind perturbations of the dominant GWs and small-scale perturbations of aerosol concentration (aerosol size of 0.2-0.7 μm) are revealed to be in phase in the lower stratosphere. Present results support the importance of vertical wind perturbations in the GW-aerosol relationship. Observed mesoscale GWs induce a strong modulation of the amplitude of tracer gases and the stratospheric aerosol background.

description: So gerne ich diese Betrachtung mit der Geschichte des Theaters in Mindanao beginnen würde, fühle ich mich doch zu präzisen Zahlenangaben nicht imstande, einfach weil ich kein Historiker bin.Mein Eingang ins Theater war dessen Hintertür. Ich habe das Theaterspielen nicht formvollendet an einer Schule gelernt. Stattdessen nahm ich in den frühen 80er-Jahren an dem Workshop »Grundfertigkeiten in der Theaterkunst« (BITAW) teil. Deshalb gehörte ich auch in den 70er-Jahren leider noch nicht zum Catacumba Theater von Father Dong Galenzoga und nie zum Theater der Unterdrückten von Karl Gaspar – da ich doch einfach deutlich jünger als die Berühmtheiten Joey Ayala, Agnes Locsin, Nestor Horfilla und Fe Remotigue bin.

DESCRIPTION
Small, fungiform thamnasterioid colony fixed by a peduncle. Calices are concentrically arranged, suggesting a circumoral mode of gemmation. Radial elements are pennular, straight or flexuous biseptal blades that are subcompact or porous (a thin section would be necessary to conclude about this question). The projections of dissociated septal trabeculae at the axis of the corallite produce a papillose columella. Endotheca not observed but it would be rare according to Beauvais 1986. Synapticulae probably present.No wall separating the calices. A concentrically wrinkled holotheca covers the base of the colony.
Calicular diameter: approximately 2 to 4 mm – Distance between calices centers: 2 to 4 mm – Number of septa: 23 to 38 – Septal density: 6 to 7 per 2 mm.
REMARKS
We maintain with doubt this specimen within the genus Dimorphastrea d’Orbigny, 1850 (and not Dimorphastraea Fromentel, 1857 as it was described in Beauvais [1986]) because the specimen preparation does not allow to confirm that septa are compact. A thin section would be necessary to verify that this taxon does not belong to Dimorpharaea Fromentel, 1861.

description: Therapeutic strategies used in critical care for the management of patients with sepsis and patients undergoing high-risk major surgery are often based on macrovascular parameters. Blood pressure, heart rate and stroke volume are used to guide fluid and medication administration. Another approach would be to consider blood flow through the capillary bed, microvascular blood flow. Microvascular blood flow can be measured at the bedside with side-stream dark field imaging (SDF). On systematic review, pharmacological agents were found to affect microvascular flow in septic patients. The ino-dilator levosimendan, variable dosing of the vasodilator GTN and steroids were all found to improve microvascular flow, in contrast to vasoconstrictors which demonstrated no improvement in flow. I found acceptable reproducibility on Bland-Altman analysis of SDF imaging and automated analysis of measurements taken in healthy volunteers. In a prospective study of 55 patients undergoing liver resection surgery, I found divergence of the macrocirculation and microcirculation. There was no correlation between MAP and microvascular measurements (MFI, sPPV or PVD) at any time point (Pearson and Spearman correlation co-efficients). Microvascular flow was impaired post-operatively and was not restored on completion of goal-directed fluid therapy. There was evidence of endothelial glycocalyx disruption with shedding of syndecan-1. A fall in circulating antithrombin was found in the post-operative period, which may be related to increased infiltration of the glycocalyx and binding to the endothelium during hypoperfusion.

description: Protestkunst und revolutionäre Kunst entstand nicht erst in der Marcosperiode. Tatsächlich gab es schon vor Marcos Zeiten drei wichtige Perioden in denen sich Protestkunst entwickeln konnte. Die erste Periode ist in der späten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts zur Zeit der Propagandabewegung und der philippinischen Unabhängigkeitsbewegung, auch philippinische Revolution genannt, anzusiedeln. Die amerikanische Kolonialzeit stellt die zweite Periode dar. Die dritte Periode erstreckt sich über die Vorkriegszeit der späten 30er Jahre bis zu den 50er Jahren der Nachkriegszeit, als das Konzept der »Kunst des Proletariats« eine Zahl von Anhängern aus der ersten Generationen moderner Maler zu interessieren begann.

description: As people increasingly reach for their phone to pay for goods in Australia, existing players in the contactless payment industry are trying to seek competitive advantage. Four of Australia's leading banks are trying to secure collective bargaining rights for technology that grants access to Apple Pay. This service is currently is only available to customers with American Express proprietary cards and ANZ American Express companion cards and ANZ Visa cardholders. The Reserve Bank of Australia's (RBA) Payments System Board noted that innovations in mobile wallets can boost consumer choice and convenience. Cardholders may be able to consolidate a range of payment cards into a single app on their mobile device. Australia is one of the leading countries in the take-up of contactless payment transactions. If Apple is blocking banks from offering this service to their customers, it should be questioned.

The Effect of Primary Particle Polydispersity on the Morphology and Mobility Diameter of the Fractal Agglomerates in Different Flow Regimes
Creators: name: Dastanpour, Ramin
name: Rogak, Steven
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2018

description: Properties of colloidal and aerosol agglomerates depend on their morphology. Accurate estimation of the mobility-equivalent diameter 𝑑m in different flow regimes is essential in many industrial processes and measurements. Previous work on the hydrodynamic properties of clusters focussed on agglomerates composed of monodisperse primary particles. However aggregates formed in real processes, e.g. soot particles, are usually formed from polydisperse monomers. Using numericallygenerated agglomerates it is shown here that the radius of gyration, surface area, and mass of the agglomerates increase with primary particle polydispersity (given constant geometric mean primary particle size 𝑑pg). Here, 𝑑m is taken as the projected area-equivalent diameter for the free molecular regime; Stokesian Dynamics is used to compute 𝑑m in the continuum flow regime. For fixed number of primaries and 𝑑pg, 𝑑m increases with polydispersity in both free molecular and continuum regimes (>20% for large particles at high polydispersity). Considering an aerosol population with polydisperse primary particles, this increase is found to depend on whether the variations in primary particle size occur within aggregates or between aggregates; this can be important in the interpretation of measurements. Finally, mobility diameters are correlated with total number, median diameter and its geometric standard deviation of the primary particles.

description: This study reveals a novel method to tailor the micro- and meso-porous structures of activated biochar by exploiting the interaction between pre-carbonization drying conditions and carbonization temperature in KOH activation. Biochar samples were mixed with concentrated KOH and then dried under air or nitrogen for various periods of time (0 -280 h) followed by carbonization at 475, 675 or 875°C. It is confirmed that by manipulating drying conditions and carbonization temperatures, the KOH activated biochar can have a predominantly microporous, mesoporous or a combined (micro/meso) porous structure. The surface area, micropore and mesopore volumes tailored between: 488 to 2670 m ² g-¹, 0.04 to 0.72 cm³ g-¹, and 0.05 to 1.70 cm³ g-¹, respectively. The mechanism of porosity development was investigated by FTIR analysis suggesting conversion of KOH to K₂CO₃ due to different drying conditions as a major role in tailoring the structure. The application of activated biochar with tailored porosity was investigated for Electric Double Layer adsorption of NaCl/NaOH to be employed in water treatment (capacitive deionization) or energy storage (supercapacitor) processes. The majorly microporous activated biochar (N₂-dried activated at 675°C) showed promising capacitances between 220-245 F g-¹. Addition of mesoporous structure resulted in capacitances between 182-240 F g-¹ with significantly reduced electrode resistance and improved capacitive behaviour as evidenced by Impedance Spectroscopy and Galvanostatic Charge/Discharge tests.

description: The purpose of this study was to investigate the thermodynamic prospect of selective chrome spinel sulfidation followed by a targeted experimental investigation of the kinetics of chromite sulfidation. A secondary aim was to then employ the selective chrome spinel sulfidation conditions to the existing Becher process for producing a feed suitable for pigment production with the objective being to separate the sulfidised chrome spinels via physical separation techniques such as froth flotation and magnetic separation. The outcome of this research will help to treat the low grade-weathered ilmenite ore which are potential as feedstock for sulphate route TiO2 pigment production.

Evaluating the factors that facilitate a deep understanding of data analysis
Creators: name: Burmeister, Oliver K.
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Ideally the product of tertiary informatic study is more than a qualification, it is a rewarding experience of learning in a discipline area. It should build a desire for a deeper understanding and lead to fruitful research both personally and for the benefit of the wider community. This paper asks: 'What are the factors that lead to this type of quality (deep) learning in data analysis?' In the study reported in this paper, students whose general approach to learning was achieving or surface oriented adopted a deep approach when the context encouraged it. An overseas study found a decline in deep learning at this stage of a tertiary program; the contention of this paper is that the opposite of this expected outcome was achieved due to the enhanced learning environment. Though only 15.1% of students involved in this study were deep learners, the data analysis instructional context resulted in 38.8% of students achieving deep learning outcomes. Other factors discovered that contributed to deep learning outcomes were an increase in the intrinsic motivation of students to study the domain area; their prior knowledge of informatics; assessment that sought an integrated, developed yet comprehensive understanding of analytical concepts and processes; and, their learning preferences. The preferences of deep learning students are analyzed in comparison to another such study of professionals in informatics, examining commonalties and differences between this and the wider professional study.

DESCRIPTION
Phaceloid corallum multiplying by fissiparous intracalicular budding. Radial elements are free or joined, compact costosepta in zigzag, organized in 2 distinct size orders.

Advanced Transceiver Processing for Large MIMO Systems

description: Large MIMO base stations remain among wireless systems designers’ best tools for increasing wireless through-put while serving many clients. Still, current system designs, sacrifice throughput with simple linear MIMO detection algorithms. Higher performance detection techniques are known, but remain off the table because of their related complexity and latency requirements. In this PhD thesis, novel signal processing approaches are presented, that have the potential to reclaim this wasted MIMO channel capacity while meeting challenging latency requirements by employing parallel processing and efficient tree pruning techniques. The core of this work builds a novel framework for massively parallel signal processing for large MIMO systems applicable to both uplink and downlink. The proposed approaches are asymptoticly optimal, adapt to the processing capabilities of the base station and the current MIMO channel realization, support powerful a posteriori probability (APP) decoding and have latency requirements similar to simple successive interference cancellation. The proposed massively parallel precoder and the detector are validated in over-the-air experiments. In order to make the approaches practical, novel solutions for fast rate adaptation (for both uplink and downlink) are proposed, necessary to translate the improved detection/precoding capabilities into actual throughput. In addition, this thesis introduces the novel principle of Antipodal detection and decoding, that enables the complexity efficient demultiplexing of tens of interfering streams even in the most challenging transmission scenarios (e.g., when the number of transmitted streams equals the number of the base stations antennas). For the first time, the proposed Antipodal detector leverages the unexploited relation between the detection reliability and the detection complexity of sphere decoding to extract implicit reliability information (at no extra processing cost) and to substantially reduce the detection complexity itself. In particular, the detector polarizes its output into highly reliable bits and erasures. While a traditional belief-propagation decoder can handle such an outcome, the Antipodal decoder proposed is tailored to the properties of the Antipodal detector output.
Investigating the Turn Figure as Allusion and Topic in Wagner’s Parsifal and Mahler’s Ninth Symphony.
Creators: name: ARKLE, GENEVIEVE ROBYN
Publisher: name: University of Surrey
Year: 2021

description: This dissertation investigates the role of the turn figure as a musical allusion to the turn figures of Wagner’s music dramas, focusing on the finale of Mahler’s Ninth Symphony and Wagner’s Parsifal. In doing so, it acts as a key contribution to the field by unearthing the turn figure as a new and previously unconsidered Wagnerian allusion in Mahler’s works. Additionally, it offers a fundamental rethinking of the turn not as a musical ornament but as a highly expressive and motivic device in the music of the nineteenth century. By examining the turn through the lens of topic theory, this thesis provides an analytical framework for evaluating the expressive nature of the figure and argues that the remit of topic theory should be expanded to include it. Consequently, it provides a re-evaluation of the topical lexicon and the terminology that is used for identifying and categorising new and emerging musical topics.
description: The first chapter provides an introduction to the turn figure, reviewing its emergence and development as a musical ornament and its transition to obtaining a unique motivic status in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Chapter two provides a case study examination of the five ‘turn motifs’ of Wagner’s Parsifal, exploring the purpose of the figure in each motif and considering the extra-musical associations the figure develops throughout the drama. The third chapter identifies and examines the wealth of Wagnerian-style turn figures that appear across Mahler’s oeuvre and simultaneously uses Mahler’s works to demonstrate the turn’s topical status. The final chapter pulls together the many threads of this thesis and shows the value of analytically investigating a work from the perspective of the turn figure, providing a detailed study of the role of the turn in the finale of Mahler’s Ninth Symphony.
The relationship between gender attitudes and children's feelings of shame in response to imagined failure.
Creators: name: Davis, Indigo
Publisher: name: University of Surrey
Year: 2020

description: Objective: Shame is a secondary self-conscious distressing emotion that can be evoked following experiences of failure. Research indicates potential gender differences in shame responses following failure however findings have been mixed. The current study examined whether gender-stereotypicality of a task was related to anticipated shame following task failure, and whether gender attitudes in mothers and children were related to anticipated shame. Design: Mothers and their children completed measures assessing gender stereotyped attitudes. Children were then asked to read six short stories about failing a task (2 male-stereotyped, 2 female-stereotyped, 2 non-stereotyped). Following each story, children were asked to rate how much shame they would experience in the situation. Participants: Participants were 28 mother-child dyads recruited from schools in London. Results/Findings: ANOVA and correlational analysis were used to explore relationships between mother and child gender attitudes, and feelings of anticipated shame in response to gender-stereotyped and non-gender stereotyped failure. Results suggested a main effect of task, however associations between parent and child gender attitudes were inconsistent. Conclusions/Implications: Mostly, the study hypotheses were not supported. Conceptual and methodological critiques are considered, such as validity of the concept of gender stereotyped tasks, task salience and measurement issues. Further research is needed to explore parent-child gender attitudes and the implications of these for the development of self-conscious emotions such as shame.

description: The focus of this research is to study the quantum behavior of the repair process of cytosine and thymine pyrimidine dimer lesions, and of the TT(6,4) photoproduct. Molecular Dynamic and QM/MM modelling of a TT(6,4) lesion docked to TT(6,4) Photolyase [1] showed high mobility in the first twenty amino acid residues, no spontaneous proton donation between the protein and the lesion for chosen histidine protonation states, and suggests the residue HIE-379 as the most likely proton donor. A QM/MM study showed how using PM6 as the QM method can correct lesion bond lengths predicted during a molecular dynamics simulation with a GAFF2 force field used for the T=T dimer. Comparisons to results from the PARM99 force field [2] were made. A MM and a brief QM/MM study on the C=C dimer, showed that this lesion has a slightly shorter average C5-C5’ bond than the T=T dimer, but a very similar C6-C6’ bond length. The C5-C5’ bond length in the C=C dimer is less susceptible to breaking due to excess charge. With the specific localisation of charge, the C5-C5’ bond of the C=C dimer will break with electron addition. QM benchmark studies focused mainly on the C=C and C=T dimers, with some inclusion of the T=T and T=C dimers. Comparison with CC2 calculations showed that TD-DFT/CAM-B3LYP/aug-cc-pVTZ, was reliable for the calculation of the first excited triplet and doublet states of the C=C dimer. For the T=T dimer this method was shown to accurately calculate the T2, T5 , and T6 energy levels. CAM-B3LYP/aug-cc-pVTZ slightly overestimated the S1 excitation energy, for both the C=C and T=T dimer. For the T=T dimer, DFT/CAM-B3LYP/aug-cc-pVTZ gave the geometries closest to RI-CC2 calculations. The change in basis set and correlation exchange functional of the DFT method produced very different geometries for the anionic doublet and triplet states of the C=C, T=T, and C=T dimers, as did the inclusion or exclusion of the ‘PCM’ solvent. CAM-B3LYP was found to increase the thermal heat, electronic and zero point energy predicted, but reduce heat capacity and entropy, compared to B3LYP. In the gas-state, the singlet T=T dimer had a longer C5-C5’ bond than C6-C6’ bond, unlike the C=C and C=T dimers.

description: This thesis consists of three independent chapters on the macroeconomic effects of structural shocks. Chapter 1 studies the effects of US technology shock identified by the instrumental variables (IVs) on the US labour market variables. Our structural VAR (vector autoregressive) models and LP (local projections) confirm the contractionary effects of a positive technology shock on the labour market variable when we identify the shocks by

description: Chapter 2 investigates the international spillover effects of two types US fiscal policy shocks — spending or tax — identified by various IVs. We find that both shocks are contractionary in general, leading to a mild decline in GDP for the three recipient countries; the UK, Canada, and Japan. We also find that financial channels play a significant role in the transmission mechanism. The main findings are broadly consistent across structural VARs and LPs, both using IVs.
description: Chapter 3 examines the sign-dependent effects of uncertainty shocks on the unemployment rate in the US. This chapter uses a FAIR (functional approximation of impulse responses) model to estimate the sign-dependent impulse responses. Our FAIR results suggest asymmetric effects of uncertainty shocks. In particular, the unemployment rate responds more sharply to an increase in uncertainty, and the contractionary effects of the

Frames of reference for evaluating new learning technologies

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: New educational technologies provide opportunities for gains in resource efficiency and in educational effectiveness. Are the anticipated benefits realised? This paper reports on an attempt to apply a frame of reference to the selection of criteria for evaluating technological innovations in higher education. Defining the types of innovation to be evaluated is an issue but establishing evaluation criteria is the major challenge. Four positions are considered. One is oriented to the stated objectives of the particular educational innovation; one to comparison with alternative educational approaches; one to the benefits and costs anticipated from a knowledge of the state of the art of learning technologies; and one to criteria developed from a particular educational and/or social theory. These four approaches to are interactive rather than exclusive zones of reference, each of which has a place in selecting criteria for evaluation of educational innovations employing learning technologies. To engage all four, exposes contests between theoretical foundations, public policy, local pragmatics and individual objectives. Evaluation in this context, then, identifies dialectical relationships and provides a transformative tool for the construction and reconstruction of technology in education. In the background are issues of causation in complex educational contexts. Attaining generalisable conclusions from the evaluation of educational technologies, however, is problematic and beyond the scope of an evaluative approach. The paper reports on an evaluation of an innovation that combined the introduction of problem-based learning with Web-based tuition in a post-graduate course conducted at an Australian university.

description: Bei Kunst aus Indonesien denken die meisten Nicht-Indonesier sofort an balinesische Batik oder Holzfiguren aus Papua. Selbst diejenigen, die eigentlich wissen sollten, dass es eine sehr lebendige moderne Kunstszene in Indonesien gibt, haben oft nur unklare Vorstellungen davon. Der Westen nimmt immer noch eine sehr arrogante Haltung gegenüber Kunst aus Entwicklungsländern ein: Sie gilt entweder als zu imitativ, verwenden die Künstler westliche Techniken, oder als zu dekorativ, ist sie mit traditionellen Stilen vermischt.
