description: Das Bestreben zur Defossilisierung verschiedener Industriezweige bedingt die intensive Erforschung nachhaltiger Power-to-X-Verfahren zur Herstellung chemischer Produkte aus erneuerbar bereitgestelltem Synthesegas. Neben synthetischen Kraftstoffen steht die Produktion hochwertiger Chemikalien wie höherer Alkohole im Fokus. Für die Synthese dieser Produktgruppe liegt bisher kein technisch anwendbarer Katalysator vor. Die Entwicklung eines solchen ist Gegenstand dieser Arbeit. Dazu werden zunächst an pulverförmigen eisenbasierten Fischer-Tropsch-Katalysatoren verschiedene elektrochemische und strukturelle Promotoren hinsichtlich ihrer Auswirkung auf Umsatz und Selektivität evaluiert. Zudem werden wegweisende Ergebnisse zur Katalysatorformgebung für die Anwendung in einfach skalierbaren, industriellen Festbettreaktoren aufgezeigt. Als Grundlage für eine zukünftige techno-ökonomische Bewertung des Gesamtprozesses werden für den entwickelten, optimierten Formkatalysator Regressionsmodelle zur Identifizierung vielversprechender, technisch-relevanter Betriebspunkte parametrisiert und die Prozessintegration mit Restgasrückführung in einem semi-technischen Setup demonstriert.

description: Organizations today are adopting business intelligence (BI) systems at a fast pace with the expectation that these systems will help them make better business decisions and improve their performance. But with the ever changing industry dynamics and variable business needs of end-users, the BI requirements of organizations are also getting unpredictable and increasingly harder to deliver by the service providers. Additionally, the advancement of web 2.0 & enterprise 2.0 technologies has opened up more possibilities for the development of user-centric innovative business applications. Enterprise BI Mashups are a specific breed of such technologies that have the potential to empower end-users with self-service capabilities and facilitate problem-solving in ad-hoc situational BI scenarios. This research project attempts to explore the current landscape of Business Intelligence (BI) Mashups and to identify gaps in technology with respect to user requirements and corporate objectives. Through an empirical investigation of BI mashups use cases, specific issues and challenges associated with the use of mashups in BI have been ascertained. Working in collaboration with IBM Cognos, we have formulated a taxonomy and utility framework for Enterprise BI Mashups. The formulated taxonomy provides a basic framework for understanding the domain of BI mashups and is aimed to aid application development initiatives for creating BI mashups toolkits. The utility framework draws upon real-world use cases for BI Mashups as well as pertinent software design patterns that can facilitate the development of BI mashup tools and services. These frameworks are expected to advance an understanding of business process requirements that can be satisfied through the use of Enterprise BI Mashups, and also aid in the development of mashup toolkits targeted at BI end-users.

Communication policies for urban village connections: beyond access?

name: Podkalicka, Aneta
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The urban renewal strategies being rolled out in all Australian capitals result in an increasing number of residents living and sharing space in city areas. This densification process calls for a closer inspection of the communication policies and initiatives and their adequacy to support the socio-cultural needs and interactions of urban residents. In this paper we discuss findings to date which are derived from an ongoing media and communication study into the Kelvin Grove Urban Village, the Queensland Government's flagship urban renewal project in Brisbane. Its master plan indicates that the key design aim is 'to engender a strong sense of community and a safe sustainable environment', and in the context of the proposed information and communication strategies to 'deliver a viable and enduring connected community'. In this paper we examine how the master plan's rhetoric about the importance of the information society and village connections has been translated into strategies and policies, and how these policies are now being converted into practical and tangible initiatives. We examine some of the strategies designed and employed to move beyond access and towards effective use of the communication infrastructure in order to enable and support social connections between urban village residents.

description: This bachelor's thesis compares heat supply systems of a district in terms of their costs and climate impact using TRNSYS simulation. First, the renovation potential of the building envelopes in the investigated district is analysed to reduce the heating demand. Two degrees of refurbishment are identified for this purpose. The next step is to analyse how the energy demand can be covered by local renewable energies. A decentralised system, a low-temperature heating grid and a cold local heating grid are compared over an observation period from 2025 to 2050. The synergies resulting from a centralisation of the heat supply are also examined. Using a parametric study, the influence of integrating waste heat into the centralised grids is examined and the effects of the installation of underfloor heating on all systems are investigated. The results show that higher costs correlate with greater savings in CO2 emissions. The low-temperature heating grid proved to be the most cost-effective option, while the cold local heating grid was the option with the lowest emissions. Even taking CO2 pricing into account, the low-temperature heating grid remained the most economical solution. The synergy effects of centralising the heat supply of the district proved to be low. Integrating waste heat with an output of up to 20 kW enabled cost reductions of up to 3 % and climate impact reductions of up to 13 % in the low-temperature heating grid. By integrating waste heat into the cold local heating grid, the impact on the climate could only be reduced by a maximum of 6 %. It was shown that the investment costs initially increase through the integration of small amounts of waste heat. The increase was at a maximum of approximately 5 %. The installation of underfloor heating proved to be an effective measure for reducing the climate impact by an average of 36 % but increased the costs by an average of 21.4 %.

description: My thesis explores the conceptual underpinnings of the acclaimed Mexican conditional cash transfer (CCT) program Oportunidades as a way of engaging broader debates about how anti-poverty policy is evolving in the wake of the World Bank’s mid-1990s legitimacy crisis. I am interested in the behaviours and attitudes—or “subjectivities”—that Oportunidades attempts to cultivate amongst participants. Whereas the majority of CCT studies tend to focus on measuring the extent to which the programs “mold” beneficiaries into the categories of being prescribed by the program, my thesis is concerned with specifying and critically examining these categories. I use a hybrid neo-Gramscian, governmentality and critical feminist theoretical framework to probe how Oportunidades beneficiaries are constructed within World Bank and Mexican government discourse, as well as in external program evaluations. I argue that Oportunidades is underpinned by an agent-centred conception of poverty and that the program promotes a kind of gendered market-conducive subjectivity amongst beneficiaries. I conclude by exploring some of the implications of the CCT model. Ma thèse explore les fondements conceptuels du Oportunidades, un programme de transferts conditionnels de fonds (TMC) Mexicain acclamé. J’utilise les TMC comme une ouverture pour élargir le débat sur la manière dont la politique anti-pauvreté évolue dans le sillage de la crise de légitimité à laquelle la Banque Mondiale a fait face dans le milieu des années 1990. Je m'intéresse aux types de comportements et d'attitudes—ou «subjectivités»—que Oportunidades essaye de cultiver chez les participants. Alors que la majorité des études sur les TMC focalisent sur l’évaluation des succès du programme à modeler les participants afin qu’ils entrent dans les catégories de personnes prescrites par le programme, mon but est la spécification et l'examen critique de ces catégories. J'utilise un cadre théorique hybride qui combine néo-gramsciennes, la gouvernementalité et des théories féministes critiques pour enquêter sur la façon dont les bénéficiaires du programme Oportunidades sont construits à l’intérieur du discours de la Banque Mondiale, du gouvernement mexicain, ainsi que dans les évaluations externes du programme. Je soutiens qu’il y a, dans le programme Oportunidades, une conception sous-entendu de la pauvreté centrée sur les comportements des individus et que le programme promeut une subjectivité sexuée des bénéficiaires qui facilite leur participation au marché. Je conclus en explorant quelques implications du modèle TMC.

description: This work focuses on the evaluation of the acoustoelastic constants (AEC) using Rayleigh waves (RW). These constants represent the state of the microstructure of the material on macroscopic level and are therefore very sensitive to changes in microstructure. They are used as input parameters to determine the residual stress level with acoustoelastic measurements. The comparison of different measurement strategies and the investigation of the possibility to create an in-situ method to measure the AEC near the surface using the nonlinear interaction of two Rayleigh waves are the main contributions of this work. Nonlinear interactions between elastic waves are considered as a prospective mean for in-situ determination of local near-surface nonlinear elastic parameters. The permissible interactions between bulk and surface waves were investigated using an analytical model and then compared with experimental results and available FEM simulations.

Preventable Hospitalisation

description: Enhancing primary care is key to the Canadian health care reform. Considered as an indicator of primary care access and quality, hospitalisations for ambulatory care sensitive (ACS) conditions are commonly reported by Canadian organisations as sentinel events signaling problems with the delivery of primary care. However, the literature calls for further research to identify what lies behind ACS hospitalisation rates in regions with a predominantly urban population benefiting from universal access to health care. A theoretical model was built and, using an ecological design, multiple regressions were implemented to identify which neighbourhood characteristics explained the socio-economic gradient in ACS hospitalisation rates observed in Ottawa. Among these neighbourhoods, healthy behaviour and - to a certain extent - health status were significantly associated with ACS hospitalisation rates. Evidence of an association with primary care accessibility was also signaled for the more rural neighbourhoods. Smoking prevention and cessation campaigns may be the most relevant health care strategies to push forward by policy makers hoping to prevent ACS hospitalisations in Ottawa. From a health care equity perspective, targeting these campaigns to neighbourhoods of low socio-economic status may contribute to closing the gap in ACS hospitalisations described in this current study. Reducing the socio-economic inequalities of neighbourhoods would also contribute to health equity.

An examination of learning processes in a public service organisation in Indonesia
Creators: name: Wulandari, Puspita
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Organisational learning is a significant means for organisations to deal with unstructured problems posed by changing environments, either internal or external to organisations (external change includes globalisation and hyper competition). However, organisational learning discourse lacks both research in public organisations and a deep analysis of learning processes. A complete theory of organisational learning which gives attention to learning processes is yet to be proposed. This study is about organisational learning in a public service organisation in Indonesia. This study focuses on examination of learning processes in that organisation to obtain a rounded understanding of organisational learning within the organisation. An examination of learning processes enables this study to identify the influence on learning of internal and external organisational environments or contexts. For this reason, this study borrows from Bandura's social cognitive theory to inform the analysis. Organisational learning consists of individual learning on behalf the organisation. Therefore, this study places individual learning (represented by individual learning experience) as the primary focus for data collection and analysis. This study employs narrative theory to inform the understanding of human experiences. Narrative theory holds that human experience is best captured by narrative. In the discussion, the evaluation is based on five crucial elements of organisational learning: change, learning incentives, accessibility of thelessons from individual learning to others in the organisation who would benefit from them, actionability of the lessons, and the effects of learning on organisational outcomes or performances. The conclusion is that organisational learning occurs in the studied organisation through doubleloop learning, either in simultaneous or local learning, which is motivated by responses to internal and external contexts. This runs counter to scholarly views that public organisations do not cultivate learning due to bureaucratic structures. The evidence shows that deficiencies in the structural arrangements of the organisation lead people inside the organisation to engage in experiential and vicarious learning.
Improving Learning for Greater Effectiveness in Christian Non-government Development Organizations

description: Becoming an effective agent of development in the challenging and complex context of the development NGO in Sub-Saharan Africa necessitates prioritizing learning and adaptation. But NGOs are often not characterized by such a strong learning culture and commitment; and Christian NGOs are no exception. Reforming both the commitment to learning and the structures that support it is a pressing challenge facing Christian NGOs committed to being effective agents of development. Such reform requires careful analysis of the context of Sub-Saharan Africa, special consideration of the complex broader socio-political structure of the NGO world, and systematic research into understanding organizational dynamics that facilitate learning. Data from this research contributes to building an integrated learning model. Applying this model through a case study of specific Christian NGO—World Vision Burundi—leads to both identifying factors that undermine learning and proposing a set of recommendations that will help this NGO become a more effective learning organization.
Probabilistic Approaches to Consumer-generated Review Recommendation

description: Consumer-generated reviews play an important role in online purchase decisions for many consumers. However, the quality and helpfulness of online reviews varies significantly. In addition, the helpfulness of different consumer-generated reviews is not disclosed to consumers unless they carefully analyze the overwhelming number of available contents. Therefore, it is of vital importance to develop predictive models that can evaluate online product reviews efficiently and then display the most useful reviews to consumers, in order to assist them in making purchase decisions. This thesis examines the problem of building computational models for predicting whether a consumer-generated review is helpful based on consumers' online votes on other reviews (where a consumer's vote on a review is either HELPFUL or UNHELPFUL), with the aim of suggesting the most suitable products and vendors to consumers.In particular, we propose in this thesis three different helpfulness prediction approaches for consumer-generated reviews. Our entropy-based approach is relatively simple and suitable for applications requiring simple recommendation engine with fully-voted reviews. However, our entropy-based approach, as well as the existing approaches, lack a general framework and are all limited to utilizing fully-voted reviews. We therefore present a probabilistic helpfulness prediction framework to overcome these limitations. To demonstrate the versatility and flexibility of this framework, we propose an EM-based model and a logistic regression-based model. We show that the EM-based model can utilize reviews voted by a very small number of voters as the training set, and the logistic regression-based model is suitable for real-time helpfulness predicting of consumer-generated reviews. To our best knowledge, this is the first framework for modeling review helpfulness and measuring the goodness of models. Although this thesis primarily considers the problem of review helpfulness prediction, the presented probabilistic methodologies are, in general, applicable for developing recommender systems that make recommendation based on other forms of user-generated contents.
Early Childhood Educators' Knowledge of Developmental Milestones (KDM) and Appropriate Play Materials (KPM) in Relation to their Developmentally Appropriate Practices (DAP) in Child Care Centres in Quebec

description: The quality of early childhood education and care programs greatly impacts children’s development and well being. The classroom environment, program content and approach and early childhood educators’ characteristics are some of the elements that influence quality and thus have effects on young children’s development. Past research has indicated that early childhood education and care programs in Quebec have received on average low/minimal or mediocre ratings of quality and were also found to lack developmentally appropriate play materials (Drouin, Bigras, Fournier, Desrosiers, & Bernard, 2004; Goelman et al., 2006; Japel, Tremblay, & Cote, 2005). The present study set out to explore elements that may influence the quality of child care classrooms in the province of Quebec. Early childhood educators’ knowledge and developmentally appropriate practice (DAP) were examined to determine the relationship between these elements. Early childhood educators’ knowledge of developmental milestones (KDM) and knowledge of appropriate play materials (KPM) were found to be weak but educators reported strong developmentally appropriate beliefs (BDAP) and practices (PDAP). Results demonstrated positive correlations between early childhood educators’ declarative knowledge of developmental milestones (KDM), knowledge of appropriate play materials (KPM) and their beliefs and practices of developmentally appropriate practice (BDAP and PDAP). Educators’ levels of declarative KDM were positively correlated with their level of declarative KPM. In addition, educators’ BDAP was positively correlated with their level of declarative KPM, but their reported DAP was not linked to their level of KDM. Implications for the field of ECEC as well as early childhood education programs in CEGEPs and Universities in Quebec and across Canada are discussed in light of the study’s findings and limitations.
The Effectiveness of Negotiation Skills Training in Advancing the Status of Women in Male Dominated Fields: An Evaluation of CWSE-ON's Negotiation Skills Training Workshop

description: Gender equality has been linked to several positive organizational outcomes, including improved overall organizational performance (Dezsö & Ross, 2012). Yet, several fields in Canada, such as technology and engineering, remain male-dominated (Statistics Canada, 2009). Men and women communicate differently, and women's communication styles are sometimes perceived as weak, particularly in male-dominated fields (Carli, 2001). Women's preference for a more communal communication style also manifests in negotiations: women are less likely to negotiate, and when they do negotiate they are less direct and ask for less than men do (Babcock & Laschever, 2003). In order to help women develop the skills they require to advance their status in male-dominated fields, the NSERC Chair for Women in Science and Engineering delivered five negotiation skills training workshops for women in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) in Ontario. This thesis evaluates this training program using Kirkpatrick and Kirkpatrick's (2006) four-level training evaluation model, with questionnaires and qualitative semi-structured follow-up interviews as the main data collection methods. Ultimately, the thesis concluded that CWSE-ON was successful in creating a training program that produced positive results at multiple levels of the Kirkpatrick model. The program was particularly effective at encouraging participants to transfer their new skills back to the workplace and actually change their negotiation behaviours. The implications of these findings for training professionals is explored in depth.

description: Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ)-induced hyperpigmentation is uncommon but is increasingly recognized. To our knowledge, HCQ-induced hyperpigmentation has not been reported in the pediatric age group. Herein, we present the case of a 14-yearold girl with systemic lupus erythematosus, who developed hyperpigmentation on her shins and dorsum of the left foot, approximately 3 years after initiating treatment with HCQ. Physicians who treat children with HCQ for reasons such as rheumatologic disorders, dermatologic disorders and, more recently, coronavirus disease-19 should be aware of this less-known side effect of HCQ.

Year: 1992
Subjects: subject: Engineering, Electronics and Electrical.

description: This thesis presents a novel numerical synthesis technique based on the time reversal property of the Transmission-Line Matrix method (TLM). It allows the designer to generate the geometry of a passive circuit from its desired frequency response using alternate forward and backward time-domain analyses. This approach opens new doors in microwave synthesis and offers an advantageous alternative to the traditional synthesis techniques using frequency domain analysis. To demonstrate and validate the procedure, an inductive obstacle inside a waveguide will be synthesized.

description: This paper revisits the reported dualism associated with the perceptions of the ICT industry and the actual work experiences of women with this career. Eighteen female ICT professionals participated in a series of interviews in which their journeys towards their current employment roles were traced. Given the low numbers of women attracted to the ICT profession, we sought to explore what had attracted these women to pursue careers in ICT and what could be learnt about improving perceptions of ICT careers. Reported here are the women’ s responses about their initial career trajectories and their views of their current workplaces. A small number of the respondents were in the careers they had always aspired towards; the others, the vast majority, had stumbled serendipitously into the ICT industry. In general, the women enjoyed their jobs. While several were unaware of gender issues in their workplaces, others did perceive a male-dominated culture and felt that technically skilled females still encountered challenges in some work contexts. It would appear that the traditional stereotypes associated with computing careers have not yet been overcome. The implications of these findings are discussed.

A very small mold and cast appear to represent a small, short, possibly smooth-sided barnacle. It is not well enough preserved to identify beyond family level. The family goes back to the Cambrian (Collins and Rudkin 1981) and they are widespread in marine and marginal marine environments.

description: The potential of households to adapt their energy use to the conditions of the energy system remains largely untapped due to shortcomings in consumer governance (i.e., the organization of household energy use). A lack of price signals and services leads to uncoordinated household energy use. Various proposals exist for updating consumer governance (e.g., virtual power plants, variable tariffs, energy communities). A research gap arises from the fact that a single governance design cannot meet all household needs and that the priorities of household needs are ambiguous. The empirical research in this dissertation demonstrates that a governance design should focus on enabling households to achieve energy cost savings, convincing them to participate by safeguarding their control needs and keeping them involved by limiting their operational burden. These priorities speak for virtual power plants as consumer governance design. If intermediaries could anticipate latent, upcoming household needs in the design, make tradeoffs transparent for households, and create dedicated points for decision-making, then they would support households in making more informed decisions and taking on an active role in the energy system.

description: Blocking androgen receptor (AR) transcriptional activity by androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) improves the response to radiotherapy for intermediate and high risk prostate cancer. Unfortunately, ADT, antiandrogens, and abiraterone increase expression of constitutively active splice variants of AR (AR-Vs) which regulate DNA damage repair leading to resistance to radiotherapy. Here we investigate whether blocking the transcriptional activities of full-length AR and AR-Vs with ralaniten leads to enhanced sensitivity to radiotherapy. Combination therapies using ralaniten with ionizing radiation were evaluated for effects on proliferation, colony formation, cell cycle, DNA damage, and Western blot analyses in human prostate cancer cells that express both full-length AR and AR-Vs. Ralaniten and a potent next-generation analog (EPI-7170) decreased expression of DNA repair genes whereas enzalutamide had no effect. FACS analysis revealed a dose-dependent decrease of BrdU incorporation with increased accumulation of γH2AX with a combination of ionizing radiation with ralaniten. An additive inhibitory effect on proliferation of enzalutamide-resistant cells was achieved with a combination of ralaniten compounds with ionizing radiation. Ralaniten and EPI-7170 sensitized prostate cancer cells that express full-length AR and AR-Vs to radiotherapy whereas enzalutamide had no added benefit.

Les expériences des enfants en situation de rue à Djibouti : Analyse d’une marginalité

description: A l’instar d’autres villes africaines et d’ailleurs, le phénomène des enfants en situation de rue prend de l’ampleur et est de plus en plus visible à Djibouti. La majorité alterne entre le foyer, la rue et un programme d’assistance (en l'occurrence celui de Caritas). Ces enfants investissent les rues, les espaces publics, où ils organisent astucieusement leur nouveau mode de vie, en fonction des contraintes qui leur sont imposées. Une vie qui demande une certaine maîtrise des lieux, un esprit de débrouillardise pour pouvoir survivre et éviter le danger. Grâce à la réalisation d'entretiens semi-dirigés avec 5 filles et 5 garçons (entre 9 et 14 ans), avec des intervenants et des bénévoles à Caritas et plusieurs observations directes et participatives, en plus d'une connaissance du terrain, cette thèse de maîtrise circonscrit plusieurs variables de leur expérience : des contraintes socio-économiques, socio-politiques, l’immigration, l’exode rural, la pauvreté, la structure familiale et sa précarité, sans oublier la violence. Comment vivent-ils ? Comment négocient-ils leur place dans les lieux publics ? Comment les parcourent-ils quand ils sont des garçons ? Quand elles sont des filles ? Malgré les efforts déployés par Caritas Djibouti pour les accueillir et les réintégrer dans leur famille et dans la société, l'écart entre leur quotidien et les principes de la Convention relative aux droits de l'enfant est immense.

UCMP 270019 and 270092 are partial mid-shaft fragments of what appear to be pinniped ribs. They resemble pinniped ribs in cross-sectional shape and marrow cavity area, but we cannot fully rule out small odontocete cetaceans with ribs of similar size.
Possible candidate taxa for these elements include the smaller early imagotariine walruses, enaliarctine pinnipedimorphs, now known to survive along the West Coast as late as 16.6 Ma (Poust and Boessenecker 2018), and a number of smaller cetacean taxa. Due to the age uncertainty of the Tsm at this locality, the size overlap among the ribs of multiple marine mammal taxa, and the minimal anatomy preserved we feel this justifies only attribution to the Mammalia.

description: This thesis investigates the function of number marking in Persian, within the framework of principles and parameters (P&P), and its relationship to inflectional and derivational number marking. Following the assumption in Distributed Morphology that inflectional and derivational morphology are not distinct, the distribution and properties of number marking in Persian provide evidence for both inflectional and derivational number marking. Assuming the two parameters of number marking (Wiltschko, 2007, 2008), number marking as a functional head and number marking as a modifier, I propose that number marking in Persian is mainly inflectional while number functions as a functional head; moreover, I propose that number marking in Persian can be derivational while number functions as a modifier. This explains that number morphology in Persian is not split to either inflectional or derivational. Rather, following Booij’s (1993, 1995) claim that inflectional morphology can be used contextually as well as inherently, I propose that number morphology in Persian is inflectional while number is a functional head; however, it has inherent residues as a modifier. Considering the functions of inflectional plural morphology in Persian, I argue that the functional category Number Phrase (NumP) is projected in Persian, and number is generated in the head of this functional category. Besides, Persian is a classifier language in which classifiers are in complementary distribution with plural marking. Following Borer’s (2005) discussion of the complementary distribution of plural marking and classifiers in Armenian, I argue that the head of NumP in Persian is either occupied by the plural maker or by full/empty classifiers. Moreover, I show that the presence of bare singulars/plurals in certain syntactic positions in Persian is related to the projection/non-projection of NumP.

description: Global optimization plays a key role in many areas but can be challenging due to the complexity of the objective function, the potential for multiple best solutions, and problem constraints. The focus here will be on continuous problems and deterministic methods such as branch and bound. This method explores the solution space by dividing it into smaller subboxes. However, as the method converges to the optimal solution, it produces more subboxes, leading to the cluster problem which increases the running time. In this work, a new technique to avoid the cluster problem is introduced by combining a local iterative method with a global deterministic method. It is shown that this method can be used for nonlinear systems of equations and global optimization problems. Both theoretical analysis and numerical applications are provided, showing that the new combined method reduces the number of boxes to be examined and the computational time compared to the branch and bound method.
