description: Previous studies of an intermittent migratory oedema occurring in people living in the Central Queensland coastal areas of Woodbury, supported by skin testing and subsequent serology tests established that this problem was possibly a gnathostomiasis. The problem was previously reported as occurring in an area north of the coastal town of Yeppoon in Central Queensland. It was described as a rapidly moving intermittent oedema lasting for periods between one week and six months.
 A study of 96 people living in the Central Queensland area was carried out from 1992 to 1995, showing that the 'Woodbury Bug' is a migrating oedema occurring at irregular intervals over all areas of the body. The phenomenon was not confined to people living in areas north of Yeppoon, but occurred in all areas of Central Queensland, mostly in the summer months with urticaria lasting from days to several weeks. Reoccurrence of the urticaria occurred again in the summer months of January to April, every year or every second year, often lasting several years.
 The physical findings in the study were remarkably consistent with those found in cases of gnathostomiasis. In contrast to previous serology testing, however, all gnathostome serology tests were negative. The lack of a history of eating raw meats or fish also contradicted the previous suggestion that this was gnathostomiasis. Serology testing for Strongyloides species was also negative, and the physical findings eliminated Ancylostoma species as a possibility.
 During the study it was established that many patients had contact with nest material of the brush turkey, Alectura lathami, a leafy material used as garden mulch. A Heterakid, found as a parasite in the brush turkey is suggested as a cause of the 'Woodbury Bug'. This parasite could be treated using an anthelminthic, albendazole, or the condition known as the 'Woodbury Bug' could be controlled by avoiding any accidental ingestion of parasites when working with brush turkey nest material.

description: Trotz der inzwischen vollständig digitalen Aufnahme und Nachbearbeitung von Musik wird speziell bei Produktionen klassischer Musik in der Regel zusätzlich mit gedruckten Notenmaterialien gearbeitet. Dieser Bruch in der Medienverwendung führt bei der Nachbearbeitung des Audiomaterials zu Zeitverlusten, da stetig zwischen Computerbildschirm und Papiernoten gewechselt werden muss. Es wurde ein Lösungsansatz entwickelt, der diesen Medienbruch umgeht. Aufgenommenes Audiomaterial und die Darstellung digitaler Noten auf dem Computer werden dabei synchronisiert. In der Praxis wird dadurch die Navigation innerhalb der Aufnahmeprojekte effektiv beschleunigt. Eine Vorstudie konnte zeigen, dass die Zeit für das Auffinden von Audio-Positionen anhand von Noteneintragungen – eine während des Schnitts häufig wiederkehrende Aufgabe – um durchschnittlich 79% gesenkt wurde.

 Drosophila (Sophophora) cuauhtemoci Felix and Dobzhansky, in Felix et al., 1976: 167.
 DIAGNOSIS: A very distinctive species from Mexico: ♂ with apical two-thirds of midtibia swollen, having two opposing, parallel combs of long setae (their lengths greater than the width of the tibia), one comb on the dorsal margin of the tibia and another on the ventral margin. Male protarsus with 4 (sometimes 5) teeth on ta1, 3 teeth on ta2. Acrostichals in 6 rows. Oviscapt broad in lateral view; spermatheca without apical indentation (Felix et al., 1976, mentioned that the spermatheca is “darker and less convex than in D. pseudoobscura,” but it is actually more convex).
TYPES: Holotype, ♂, from original description: Mexico: 10 km N Cuernavaca along Highway 95 (between Cuernavaca and Mexico City), July 29, 1974, in mixed pine and oak forest. In UCDBM, originally reported to be in the CAS (Felix et al., 1976). The original description also mentions paratypes collected in the same locality but in 1975, as well as in Lago Patzcuara, Michoacan and Parque Nacional El Chico, near Pachuca, Hidalgo, Mexico. Felix et al. (1976) reported that paratypes were also deposited in the AMNH, but which were never here. All paratypes are in the UCDBM.
SPECIMENS EXAMINED: 2♂, 1♀: Mex [ico] Morelos, Cuernavaca, VII 29 1974, Th. Dobzhansky / PARATYPE Drosophila cuauhtemoci Felix & Dobzhansky (ASG 38 ♂, ASG 39♀). In UCDBM.
DISTRIBUTION: Known only from south central Mexico.
COMMENTS: It would be interesting to eventually observe how the male uses the midleg brushes, probably in courtship.

The Influence of leadership competencies on the outcome of tendering projects
Creators: name: HOFSTEEDE, Iraina
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024
Subjects: classificationCode: 330202
subject: Building construction management and project planning

description: The aim of this thesis is to investigate the leadership competencies that most strongly influence the outcome of bidding/tendering projects and how networks and interactions impact the bidding process. Bidding for new work is a critical business activity to ensure organisational sustainability and ongoing viability where large amounts of money can be spent with often uncertain outcomes.

A qualitative social constructivist approach was selected as it provides an understanding of the bidding environment by interviewing project team members about their experiences which formed the basis of the research data. Actor-Network Theory (ANT) has been used as the principal lens to examine the efficacy and durability of networks and interactions within the tendering project which, from an extensive review of literature, appears not to have been used to research bidding projects.

Findings identify bid leaders with competencies to garner high levels of trust with key organisation stakeholders and the project team regularly achieve a positive tender outcome. Using the ANT framework showed leadership could be held by more than one person. When this role was shared with competencies determining the activities each actor undertook achieved a higher likelihood of a positive tender outcome. Spatial engagement is identified as a critical actor with findings showing bidding teams working in close proximity have a higher chance of positive tender outcome.

The thesis provides practical benefits and significant value to business by identifying the appropriate combination of bid leadership competencies required for organisations to increase their chance of achieving a successful tender outcome and add value to their business. Using ANT provides the framework to highlight critical actors, networks and associations when appointing bid leaders and enables organisations to learn and have a positive outcome from their bidding experiences.

The thesis contributes to the body of knowledge by identifying those leadership competencies that influence the outcome of tenders which are a distinct and significant type of project-based business activity. The research extends the scope of ANT into semi-permanent bidding projects to highlight competencies, interactions and networks that can influence and maximise the opportunity of a successful outcome in an area that is critical to business.
Some solution methods in the area of multi-objective integer and mixed integer programming problems

subject: Operations research

description: In this thesis, we have considered integer, bi-objective integer, bi-objective mixed integer, and multi-objective integer programming models. We have developed methods and algorithms to deal with many potential practical real-life applications. We considered a bi-objective generalized assignment model (BOGAP) and obtained the non-dominated point set for this situation. The field of mixed-integer linear programming is still an active area of research for a single objective model and it becomes more demanding for the bi-objective and multi-objective cases, determined non-dominated point set of the mixed-integer bi-objective model. Determination of ranked best solution in optimization is a complex issue, which is computationally more demanding and there are no known practical approaches to find the ranked-optimal solutions, i.e., second and third best solution etc. To address this situation two methods were developed and ranked optimal solutions for an assignment problem were obtained. A random search method for kth best solution was also developed and performance of this probabilistic approach was compared with the exact method.  Since the rank-based optimal solutions are difficult to find, a need was felt to review several methods to find these ranked based solutions were investigated. Based on these ranked solutions, a rank-based solution method (RBSM) was developed to identify non-dominated points set of a multi-objective integer programming model.

description: It is shown that modest computational techniques corrected for vdW interactions do not provide sufficient accuracy for modelling physisorption interaction energies. Dispersion corrected Hartree-Fock (HF) and Density functional theory (DFT) are compared to highly accurate coupled cluster results to assess the accuracy of these less computationally intensive methods. Grimme¿s D3(BJ) correction is applied to the B3LYP, TPSS, PBE, and PBE0 functionals, while the Tang and Toennies (TT) correction is applied to HF. As to establish a foundational knowledge of how well these methods perform, the separation dependent interaction energies are modelled first for the inert gas dimers Ne2, Ar2, Kr2, Ne-Ar, and Ar-Kr as well as the simple molecular systems (H2)2, (CH4)2, Benzene2, H2-Benzene, and CH4-Benzene. Interestingly, PBE and PBE0 performed better without the correction. However, of all methods, B3LYP+D3(BJ) provided the most consistent accuracy across all systems when compared to coupled cluster results. B3LYP+D3(BJ) is then compared to a coupled cluster approximation ALMO+rCCD(T) for H2-Graphene and NO2-Graphene interactions in which the respective molecules physisorb to the graphene surface.

In the H2-Graphene interaction, B3LYP+D3(BJ) gave a reasonable fit to the ALMO+rCCD(T) interaction potential, but overestimated the binding energy by 17%. For the NO2-Graphene interaction, there is sufficient error in the fit of B3LYP+D3(BJ) to ALMO+rCCD(T) that prevents any conclusion that it could accurately model the interaction energy.

description: This paper presents the experimental results from nine full-scale concrete-filled double-skin tubular (CFDST) beam-columns. The test specimens exploited two fabrication strategies featuring either hollow steel inner skins with corrugated geometry or ultra-high-strength steel corner tubes to enhance the seismic performance of non-compact CFDST beam-columns for potential use in low-to-moderate seismicity regions. The effects of loading sequence, axial load ratio and cross-sectional geometry were investigated. The experimental results suggest that the current AISC specification may be used to predict the axial strength of the composite members with a relatively good accuracy. In the post-buckling range, conventional CFDST beam-columns and those with corrugated inner skins are prone to fracture at the corner welds of the built-up cross section. However, the latter exhibit up to two times larger drift capacities than their conventional CFDST counterparts prior to losing their axial load carrying capacity. Non-compact beam-columns retrofitted with ultra-high-strength steel corner tubes exhibit a 4% lateral drift demand without experiencing more than 25% flexural strength loss. The presence of ultra-high-strength steel increases the plastic hinge length of CFDST beam-columns by up to four times relative to that of CFDST beam-columns with corrugated inner skin, regardless of the employed loading history.

description: Currently, gastroenterologists are still unable to differentiate between the most ordinary disorders of the gut and patients with gastrointestinal illnesses are still suffering from misdiagnosis in many cases. Conventional medical devices including acoustic and electromagnetic based systems and endoscopy are only able to provide diagnostic imaging on limited types of gastrointestinal disorders such as ulcer, tumour related illnesses and inflammable bowel diseases. However, diagnostic imaging is ineffective for many other very frequent disorders of the gut such as irritable bowel syndromes. There is an increasing recognition that the gas constituents of the gastrointestinal tract, which are mainly the by-products of the intestinal colonising microbiota activities, can provide key information regarding the gut's state-of-health. Unfortunately, most of the currently available intestinal gas profiling methods are either unreliable, cost-ineffective or rely on off-line measurement equipment which are bulky and expensive. In this Master by Research project, the candidate has successfully developed a swallowable and indigestible electronic device coined "human gas capsule" for addressing this critical issue. The human gas capsule enables the real-time gas profiling of gastrointestinal tract in an accurate, non-invasive and cost-effective manner. The safety and viability of human gas capsules are fully evaluated in both laboratorial and animal models. The capability of the human gas capsule is firstly demonstrated in a pig model in response to diet; in which the change of intestinal gas profile is consistent with a benchmark based on a post mortem pig study, showing the strong reliability of the human gas capsule. The capability of human gas capsules are further assessed in a large number of pigs under the influence of a heat-stress-induced gut disorder and cinnamon supplemental therapeutic effect. Strong repeatability of the measured intestinal gas profiles is observed, indicating the high potential of the human gas capsule in future research into pathogenesis of gastrointestinal disorders, dietary and drug effects, and clinical diagnostic applications.

description: According to the optimistic reading of the trust deficit in contemporary democracies, an increasingly non-religious and presumably more rational citizenry is naturally inclined to distrust public institutions. This modern shift is viewed as a positive check that can supposedly improve representative government. This article proposes a more nuanced understanding of the influence of supernatural beliefs on institutional trust. Specifically, the article moves beyond the popular analytical dichotomy between the religious and the non-religious by separating the non-religious into a non-believer segment and a segment hitherto overlooked by studies of political trust: unconventional or heterodox believers (e.g. in astrology and lucky charms, but not in conventional religion). Using comparative data from the International Social Survey Programme, the study finds that heterodox believers, similarly to non-believers, tend to distrust institutions, albeit for very different reasons. The previously ignored role of heterodox beliefs points to grave implications regarding the current trust deficit.

description: Democracies across the world have experienced the rise of new political parties. The dominant view of the model of (retrospective) economic voting implicitly assumes that the main beneficiary of electoral change is the established opposition. However, the rise of new political parties affects how we think of retrospective (economic) voting. This article presents a more nuanced picture of electoral change and considers when electoral turnover benefits established opposition parties, and when new political parties. The theoretical model introduces different macro-economic and macro-political motives for electoral turnover. Using a novel dataset on electoral change, covering 59 democracies worldwide, it is found that high levels of corruption discredit the entire political establishment, and promote the rise of new parties. The effect of economic hardship is more nuanced. Low economic growth mainly benefits the established opposition because voters look for an established alternative within the political system. Rising unemployment, by contrast, promotes the rise of new parties.

Smartwatches können in solch einer Krisensituation effizient eingesetzt werden, um Informationen schneller und gezielter zu verbreiten. Diese Studie beschäftigt sich daher mit der Verwendung von Smartwatches für Rettungskräfte bei einem Massenanfall von Verletzten. Für diesen Zweck wurden 1) Experteninterviews mit aktiven Mitarbeitern von rettungshelfenden Organisationen durchgeführt, um die Anforderungen abzuleiten und 2) die prototypische App MANVred entwickelt: eine mobile Applikation mit dem Ziel, die Kommunikation zwischen Einsatzkraft und Einsatzleitung zu verbessern. Dazu wurden Nachrichten-und Aufgabendelegierungsfunktionen, eine Kartenansicht, eine Wettervorhersage und eine Sichtungsfunktion mit Patientenortung implementiert. Für die leitenden Mitarbeiter wurde eine Webapplikation zur räumlichen Darstellung von Patienten und Sanitätern entwickelt. Im Anschluss wurde die Applikation in weiteren Befragungen sowohl technisch als auch funktional von Experten evaluiert; hierbei wurden weitere Verbesserungsbedarfe ermittelt aber auch die prinzipielle Tauglichkeit von MANVred nachgewiesen.

description: The application of business process management (BPM) methods to disaster response management (DRM) is a frequently discussed issue. Although it is seen as very challenging the potential benefits of BPM-methods to increase effectivity and efficiency in planning and monitoring the several activities of disaster management and their related resources are promising. The use of a standard modelling language like Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) is recommended because of its prevalence and maturity of available tools. However, the standard set of elements in BPMN is not comprehensible enough to take account of some special requirements of DRM like importance of place-related information or multiple different resources. The research in this paper presents a methodological extension of BPMN based on an ontology of critical DRM-interrelations used to enhance the BPMN meta-model.
Understanding the interactions of amino acid-coated gold and silver nanoparticles with macrophages

Year: 2024
Subjects: classificationCode: 310607
subject: Nanobiotechnology

description: Silver and gold nanoparticles have been reported to exhibit low toxicity, high surface area, tuneable stability and wide amenability for functionalisation. When a nanoparticle encounters biological tissues, it interacts with biomolecules, and this process defines the fate of the nanoparticle in the organism. The functionalisation of nanoparticles with amino acids may increase the nanoparticle affinity to biological molecules, and thus they may not be recognised by macrophages as foreign particles. Due to the advantages of the amino acid mediated synthesis of nanoparticles, amino acids are preferred over the use of conventional reducing agents for the synthesis of nanoparticles. Amino acid mediated synthesis offers advantages of fabricating nanoparticles of different compositions in a single step without using any additional toxic chemicals or stabilisers.

In this study gold and silver nanoparticles were synthesised  using L and D- tryptophan or L and D- tyrosine and characterised for biocompatibility. In order to determine the toxicity of different modified nanoparticles and to understand the interaction of sub toxic concentrations of these nanoparticles with serum proteins and blood macrophages.Moreover, their effect on macrophages cell viability, motility and immunological response.

description: While the electoral decline of Social democracy has received considerable attention in the literature, much less is known about how the structural changes experienced by advanced capitalist societies in the past decades have affected support for the mainstream right. In order to fill this gap, this article examines the relationship between secularisation, educational expansion and support for Conservative and Christian democratic parties in 18 West European democracies since the 1960s. The analysis reveals that secularisation is negatively associated with support for the mainstream right, but the effect is only significant for Christian democratic parties. Moreover, the findings support the expectation that social conservatism tends to damage the electoral prospects of mainstream right parties in highly educated societies. This suggests that, although engaging in cultural wars might sometimes seem like a winning strategy in the short term, it is unlikely to produce long-term positive electoral returns for the centre-right in post-industrial contexts.

description: “Beyond the Bunk” traces shifting sexual ethics within Jewish youth spaces, using the lens of #MeToo to reevaluate the social and cultural notion of Jewish continuity, and role of continuity rhetoric in shaping problematic sexual cultures found within Jewish summer camps and youth groups. Chapter 1, "Sexual Ethics in the #MeToo Era and Jewish Continuity", analyzes the impact of the #MeToo movement on the liberal American Jewish community, influencing critiques of the Jewish continuity paradigm and raising questions about sexual norms and practices within Jewish youth spaces. Chapter 2,"Curricula Case Study: Sex Ed or Sex Ethics?" looks at common themes in sexual ethics curricula for Jewish youth, highlighting the influence of communal rhetoric and the lack of sex education content in sex ethics curricula. Chapter 3, "'The hookup culture is something I’ve never seen anywhere else except for here': Cultures of Sexuality in Jewish Youth Spaces " takes a close look at the evolution of sexual cultures in summer camps and youth groups, featuring testimony that emphasizes how current and former participants in Jewish youth spaces have a collective memory of toxic hookup culture that transcends generation, geographic location, or denomination. The final chapter, "Analyzing Accountability," addresses how Jewish youth spaces have investigated reports of toxic hookup culture, as well as how existing and new Jewish organizations have prioritized inclusivity and accountability in recent years.

description: What does it mean to remember? In a diverse society, whose memories are illuminated, and whose are repressed? Drawing from Halbwachs’ and Nora’s theories of memory as well as the study of political apologies, this paper tracks the evolution of collective memory of Vichy in France from the end of the Occupation to present-day. Leaders in French society and politics—Charles de Gaulle, Francois Mitterrand, and Jacques Chirac—all left their unique mark on collective memory through their engagement (or lack thereof) with cultural and legal contestations over Vichy. In 1995, following the heavily publicized trials of Klaus Barbie and Paul Touvier, and the Gayssot Law criminalizing Holocaust Denial, President Chirac departed radically from his predecessors by publicly acknowledging the French state’s culpability in Vichy—in the expatriation, deportation, and genocide of millions of French Jews. Importantly, his official recognition of responsibility transformed the national dialogue from one focused on defense of the State to an acknowledgment of the victims’ trauma, effectively re-naturalizing French Jews in the national consciousness. Chirac’s apology thus suggests avenues for national reconciliation and demonstrates the power of law and culture in shifting the politics of memory.

description: Why do attitudes to refugees vary? An original panel is used in five EU states – France, Germany, Hungary, Italy and Poland – to explain European attitudes towards three groups of refugees following the 2022 invasion of Ukraine. It is shown that European attitudes to Ukrainian refugees are determined by predispositions to immigration and perceptions of the war and actors involved, with European identity and contact with refugees being relatively unimportant. These findings are validated with dynamic panel models and attitudes towards the Temporary Protection Directive. A ‘spill-over’ effect is further demonstrated, whereby attitudes to Ukrainian refugees positively affect attitudes to Afghan and Somali refugees, and a declining ‘rally-around-the-flag’ effect over time. These findings contribute to the literature on attitudinal formation, showing the relative malleability of attitudes to refugees as a function of their embeddedness in broader attitudinal patterns (particularly to immigration and geopolitics), changing context (the different stages of the war), and spill-over from views towards other refugee groups.

description: Explanatory style optimism and Self -Esteem theorists both claim to be able positively to influence the child's psychological well-being. This study was conducted to compare the effects of Optimism training and Self -Esteem training with children. Participants were 157 children (83 boys and 74 girls) attending Grade 6. Participants in Class groups were assigned to one of three conditions for training in Optimism (n = 51), Self -Esteem (n ----49) and a Control group (n = 57). Children completed self -report questionnaires on explanatory style (CASQ), depression (CES-DC), global self-esteem (RSE), and domain self-esteem (PH). Peer ratings on each participant were conducted via a sociogram, school achievement was assessed using the Milton Spelling Age test, and participants completed three hypothetical questions based on Flavell's theory of metacognition. This battery of tests was completed on three occasions: before training, immediately after the training and six months following the training. Comparison of the two theoretical models showed that the Optimism model fitted the data better than the Self -Esteem model. Optimism training was more effective than Self -Esteem training in increasing optimism, and decreasing depression with a follow-on effect to social skills and aspects of domain self-esteem. Implications for education are that Optimism training may have a greater influence on the child's psychological welfare than existing Self -Esteem programs.

description: Understanding how users navigate a news website provides insights to news providers on how they can improve their service and attract more users, as well as maintaining existing ones. The vast number of Web server logs that are accumulated every time users request a page provide an opportunity for understanding how users navigate the Web site. The current research on online newspapers using Web server logs are usually paired with user involvement using questionnaires, interviews and subscription information on the demographics of users.
In this thesis, we are investigating user behaviour in the news website solely by processing and formatting the Web server logs. The main challenge is the massive amount of Web server logs, inconsistency in data, difficulty in identifying users and setting the optimal session time-out.

We propose using the Web usage mining framework to preprocess the dataset. Association rule mining is applied to find out the pages that are accessed together in a session. Markov flow modelling is used to investigate the navigation flow among users. Several visualization techniques are examined to analyse the association rules found. Finally, data sets from April 2012 and 2017 are compared to explore how users' behaviours have changed in these years.

This thesis concludes that the most popular sections are National and Sports, with highest traffic in the morning. However, with advancement of mobile devices and the wide spread use of social media, particularly Facebook, traffic is all day, with users going straight to an article page, rather than starting with the main page. In addition, users still like to read articles of the same section in a session.

description: This research project addresses some of the existing research gaps in the practical use of acoustic waves for navigation of autonomous air and surface vehicles. After characterising the ultrasonic transducers, a multistatic sensor arrangement is discussed, with multiple transmitters broadcasting their respective signals in a round-robin fashion, following a time division multiple access (TDMA) scheme. An optimisation methodology for the placement of transmitters in a given test volume is presented, with the objective of minimizing the position dilution of precision (PDOP) and maximizing the sensor availability. Additionally, the contribution of platform dynamics to positioning error is also analysed in order to support future ground and flight vehicle test activities. Results are presented for both theoretical and experimental data analysis performed to determine the positioning accuracy attainable from the proposed multistatic acoustic navigation sensor. In particular, the ranging errors due to signal delays and attenuation of sound waves in air are analytically derived, and static indoor positioning tests are performed to determine the positioning accuracy attainable with different transmitter-receiver relative geometries. Additionally, it is shown that the proposed transmitter placement optimisation methodology leads to increased accuracy and better coverage in an indoor environment, where the required positioning data cannot be delivered by satellite-based navigation systems. Tests are conducted on a ground vehicle as well as an unmanned aerial vehicle to experimentally determine the performance of the acoustic positioning and navigation system. Experimental results demonstrate sub-decimetre accuracy of the positioning system for the ground and flight tests conducted.
A tale of two logics: how solidarity and threat perceptions shape immigrant attitudes towards immigration in Western Europe

description: Scholars have paid considerable attention to the attitudes of host societies towards immigration. However, relatively little is known about whether and under which conditions immigrants themselves support immigration more or less than those without a migration background. This study argues that immigrant attitudes towards immigration are motivated by two competing logics, solidarity and threat, with each logic being activated under different circumstances. Specifically, the relative strength of the two logics depends on factors relating to (1) the immigrants themselves (e.g. how long they have been living in their host country), (2) the type of immigration in question (i.e. characteristics of the prospective immigrants) and (3) certain conditions in the host country (particularly the presence or absence of discrimination and assimilation pressure). Evidence from the European Social Survey in 15 West European countries over a period of 18 years (2002–2019) supports these theoretical expectations.
