description: The peculiar one-pot reaction involving Carbaldehydes, malononitrile, and indane 1,3-dione was used to explain the alternative synthesis of indeno-pyridine and indeno-pyran derivatives. The synthesis of indeno-pyridine or indeno-pyran derivatives has been examined based on an effective modification in the Michael addition of indane 1,3-dione or malononitrile on Knoevenagel product throughout the reaction process. The reaction required up to 30 min to complete utilizing CuO nanoparticles (NPs) in water at room temperature, making the approach innovative and environmentally benign. All of the produced compounds have been validated using spectroscopic data. And they were then tested for their antimicrobial activities. All tested compounds showing greater efficacy against Sertaconazol and Chloramphenicol.

description: This research aims to identify and confirm the determinants of ZIS (Zakat, Infaq, Sadaqah) digital payments using the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology model. The objective is to enhance the comprehension of the factors influencing ZIS digital payments and provide recommendations for ZIS management institutions to enhance their performance through the utilization of digital technology. Data for the study were gathered from individuals who made ZIS payments through digital channels, employing a structured questionnaire during a four-week period in early September 2023. The SMARTPLS Structural Equation Modeling approach was employed to analyze the collected data. The research findings indicate that the UTAUT model significantly influences the intention to use ZIS digital payments. Moreover, the intention to use variable significantly affects the intention to recommend ZIS digital payments. The examination of moderating variables reveals that some variables do not significantly moderate the relationship, with nine showing insignificant results and two exhibiting significant results. In summary, this research contributes significantly to elucidating the factors shaping the adoption of ZIS digital payments. The practical recommendations offered can guide ZIS institutions in enhancing their technological utilization. Furthermore, this study advances our theoretical understanding of technology adoption within religious and social contexts.

description: A mathematical model has been developed to simulate the kinetic and thermal behaviour of a porous solid pellet undergoing chemical reaction with a gas. The model describes the chemical reaction itself, the transfer of the gaseous species between the external gas and the pellet surface, the transport of these species to the inside of the pellet through the pores and through the layer of solid reaction products, the generation (or consumption) of heat due to the reaction and the associated heat transfer processes, together with the structural changes produced in the solid by the reaction. The model has been validated by comparison with experimental results and data from the literature. Simulation results are presented for two reactions: the exothermal oxidation of zinc sulphide and the hydrofluorination of uranium dioxide.
Optimising the role of neuropsychology and developing an individualised approach to neurocognitive risk in stereo-EEG

subject: Clinical neuropsychology

description: Stereo-EEG can provide a pathway to surgical resection for patients with drug-resistant epilepsy. Despite widespread use, there remains variability in practices and a paucity of research evaluating neuropsychological outcomes. As a first step to establishing clinical guidelines, an international survey of clinicians supported characterisation of areas of consistency versus variability. Prospective neuropsychological examination of stereo-EEG patients demonstrated while stereo-EEG guided radiofrequency thermocoagulation is cognitively safe for most, there is a subset of patients at increased risk of experiencing a decline in memory or language. These findings have direct clinical implications for individualised counselling to avoid unanticipated deficits and improve outcomes.
Flow characteristics of lower crustal rocks: comparing two polyphase rock types
Creators: name: Beecher, Vicki A.
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: How do polyphase rocks deform? How do they perform to each other? Classically, deformation mechanisms which govern the rheology of a rock (i.e flow properties) are predicted from monomineralic experiments. However, how can science apply laws for one system to another? Is it valid? At the same time, when looking at deforming rocks science uses interpreted deformation mechanisms of individual phases as indicators for conditions of deformation. Again, based on monomineralic experiments. To ascertain if these predictors are valid I am considering different rock types with different modal percentages that have undergone the same PT conditions. Individual grains and their “neighbourhoods” would need to be analysed in order to ascertain different deformation mechanisms. The rocks in this study have been sampled from Fiordland, New Zealand in rare outcrop of lower crustal rocks that have been deformed and recrystallised at PT conditions with that of eclogite facies and then exhumed passively with no further metamorphic or tectonic overprinting. Observed relationships in the field of Omphacite granulite and Breaksea eclogite indicated that the rocks were co magmatic. The Breaksea eclogite was found within lenticular/elongate pods form mm, cm, 10cm scale within the Omphacite granulite. SEM EDS analysis revealed three main phases present feldspar, omphacite and garnet throughout the samples collected with varying amounts of strain. EBSD mapping of high and low strain samples of three phases’ feldspar, omphacite and garnet within the two lithologies was able to ascertain the deformation mechanism of each mineral relative to adjacent minerals. Contour pole figures indicated Lattice preferred orientation of minerals that had deformed via dislocation creep. The deformation mechanisms observed indicate that monomineralic flow laws are not a suitable tool and cannot be used as a reliable predictor of deformation mechanisms of polyphase rocks.

description: We discuss canonical transformations in Quantum Field Theory in the framework of the functional-integral approach. In contrast with ordinary Quantum Mechanics, canonical transformations in Quantum Field Theory are mathematically more subtle due to the existence of unitarily inequivalent representations of canonical commutation relations. When one works with functional integrals, it is not immediately clear how this algebraic feature manifests itself in the formalism. Here we attack this issue by considering the canonical transformations in the context of coherent-state functional integrals. Specifically, in the case of linear canonical transformations, we derive the general functional-integral representations for both transition amplitude and partition function phrased in terms of new canonical variables. By means of this, we show how in the infinite-volume limit the canonical transformations induce a transition from one representation of canonical commutation relations to another one and under what conditions the representations are unitarily inequivalent. We also consider the partition function and derive the energy gap between statistical systems described in two different representations which, among others, allows to establish a connection with continuous phase transitions. We illustrate the inner workings of the outlined mechanism by discussing two prototypical systems: the van Hove model and the Bogoliubov model of weakly interacting Bose gas.

Extrasensory perception in dreams through emotions and symbols
Creators: name: Kandyba, Pavlo
Publisher: name: International Journal of Dream Research
Year: 2024

description: Based on his own experience of lucid and ordinary dreams, the author conducted a study to establish the possibility of obtaining new and previously unknown information from a dream, which can then be verified in reality, or information about future events that cannot be predicted in advance. It has been established that dreams can be deciphered as a symbolic language based on subconscious associations and contain the main meaning and emotional component of future events that cannot be predicted in any other way and which cannot be influenced. And lucid dreams can sometimes convey such events absolutely accurately. A by-product of the study was the discovery of the author’s extrasensory communication with people in a state of light sleep.

   It has been suggested that the explanation for the reality of dreams may be the ability of the brain to unconsciously predict events based on information received both conventionally and extrasensory. It is proposed to pay attention to these phenomena and conduct a more in-depth study of them.

description: In this elucidation, we focused on the synthesis of isonicotinic heterocyclic molecules through reaction of isonicotinic acid hydrazide with phthalic anhydride, which produced an excellent yield of the equivalent N-(1,3-dioxoisoindolin-2-yl)isonicotinamide (3), and isonicotinic acid hydrazide can react easily with different aldehydes to form derivatives of Schiff bases. Furthermore, the reactivity of hydrazide with CS2 which cyclized in the presence of acid to give the corresponding 1,3,4-oxadiazole in derivative 7, and the presence of NH2NH2 produced a 1H-1,2,4-triazole derivative 9 that readily reacted with phenacyl bromide with the elimination of -HBr to produce 6-phenyl-3-(pyridine-4-yl)-7H-[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazine (11). Hydrazide 1 reacts readily with many methylene compounds to produce a wide range of heterocycles. The presence of each produced heterocyclic was confirmed by spectral analysis investigation. Moreover, the synthesized compounds exhibited antimicrobial and antitumor activity against HepG2 liver tumor cells and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) cancer cells, and the result was confirmed with different proteins through molecular docking simulation. Moreover, the optimization of the nicotinic compounds with DFT/B3LYP-631(G) basis set and determination of their physical descriptors correlated for its biological evaluation.

Psychosocial safety and security for children following maltreatment: Study 1. Factors associated with placement stability for children in out-of-home-care : Study 2. Multi-systemic and psychosocial safety (MAPS): inter-rater reliability & clinical utility of a clinician-rating tool for therapeutic child protection intervention services
Creators: name: Markovic, Mia

description: This thesis presents a literature review, two clinically oriented empirical studies and an integrative discussion. The studies focus on factors involved in placement stability and psychosocial safety of children within the child protection system. In Study 1, thirty-nine foster and kinship carers were surveyed to explore factors associated with carer concerns about placement breakdown and caregiver satisfaction. Standardised questionnaires assessed demographic and support factors and the contributions of child behaviour and emotional functioning, carer parenting style, empathy and attachment style. The small sample size of this study limits interpretation and generalizability of results. However, the findings indicate that concerns about placement breakdown were uniquely associated with carer age and that caregiver satisfaction was associated with level of partner support and the number of previous placements the child had experienced. Caregiver comments were also analysed thematically, and these showed that a poor carer-agency working alliance impacted on carer’s views on their ability to maintain placements, their sense of support and overall satisfaction. The second study first reports on the development, and then the face validity, clinical utility and inter-rater reliability of a clinician-rating tool developed by the researcher. The Multi-Systemic Assessment of Psychosocial Safety (MAPS) was developed to assist clinicians to assess the ongoing psychosocial safety of children (aged 6-16 years). Consultation was undertaken with specialist child protection counselling teams. Additionally, nine specialist child protection counsellors, across three area health districts, participated in an inter-rater reliability study of the tool using clinical vignettes, and provided additional written feedback on the face validity and clinical utility of the tool. Moderate to very good inter-rater reliability for risk ratings on the tool was obtained for two vignettes. Poor inter-rater reliability was evidenced for a third, more complex vignette. Participants reported that the MAPS was relatively easy to use, clinically useful in identifying risks and protective factors in child and family contexts, and in identifying therapeutic intervention objectives.

description: We demonstrate the detection of coherent electron-nuclear spin oscillations related to the hyperfine interaction and revealed by the band-to-band photoluminescence (PL) in zero external magnetic field. On the base of a pump-probe PL experiment we measure, directly in the temporal domain, the hyperfine constant of an electron coupled to a gallium defect in GaAsN by tracing the dynamical behavior of the conduction electron spin-dependent recombination to the defect site. The hyperfine constants and the relative abundance of the nuclei isotopes involved can be determined without the need of electron spin resonance technique and in the absence of any magnetic field. Information on the nuclear and electron spin relaxation damping parameters can also be estimated from the oscillations damping and the long delay behavior.

description: The association between psychopathology and dreaming has been investigated for various mental disorders. As for dream reports of patients with severe impairments in personality functioning (IPF), however, with a few exceptions, these contributions are mostly based on conceptual considerations or clinical case studies. As a core component of both personality functioning and contemporary psychodynamic dream theory, the construct of affect regulation is of specific significance in this context. The aim of this study was to compare affect regulation in dream reports as a marker of the level of personality functioning of patients with and without IPF. Affect regulation in N = 77 unsolicited dream reports by twenty psychotherapy outpatients with and without IPF was compared. Dream reports were transcribed from recordings of the first parts of Psychotherapy. Capacity for affect regulation was assessed using the Zurich Dream Process Coding System (ZDPCS). Level of Personality Functioning was assessed using the Scales of Psychological Capacities (expert-rating). Group differences were tested for with linear mixed-models controlling for dream length as well as the nested structure of this data set. Results: ZDPCS parameters, such as the extent of involvement of the dream ego or the complexity of the dream elements, indicated that patients with IPF use more preventive affect avoidance strategies when compared to patients without IPF. In addition, the IPF group demonstrated less flexibility in dream-inherent affect regulation as well as a higher frequency of disruptive states. Parallel to waking symptomatology, dreams of patients with IPF reflect an increased need for security, less affective involvement, and impaired affect regulation. Based on these findings, a model of affect regulation in the dreams of patients with IPF is suggested and implications for clinical practice are highlighted.

Construction of the target compounds was achieved via reaction of 3-oxo-butanamides 1a,b with hydrazonoyl halides, heterocyclic diazonium salts, and malononitrile derivatives, respectively. The structures of the new products were confirmed by all possible spectral and elemental analyses. The antibacterial assessment showed that one product was moderately active against both K. pneumonia and S. aureus.

description: This study was aimed to synthesize and characterize a series of novel bis(thiourea) compounds (1–3) featuring ortho phenylenediamine substitutions and assess their potential biological properties. A range of analytical and spectroscopic techniques, including elemental analyses, UV–visible, FT-IR, NMR, and mass, were employed to confirm successful compound synthesis. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction was utilized to validate their crystal structures. Density functional theory calculations were conducted to compare optimized molecular geometries with experimental data. Furthermore, various molecular properties were assessed, indicating the potential suitability of these compounds for nonlinear optical applications. The compounds were also evaluated for their anticancer activity against MCF-7, A549, and Vero cells, demonstrating promising results. Additionally, the antioxidant properties of these new compounds were investigated using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl in spectrophotometric analysis. Compound 3 displayed notable antioxidant activity, evaluated in comparison with the standard drug ascorbic acid. In summary, this research introduces a promising series of compounds with potential applications in medicine and material science, without delving into specific numerical results and computational intricacies.

description: The application of numerical relativity to cosmological spacetimes is providing new insights into the behavior of Einstein's equations, beyond common approximations. In order for simulations to be performed as accurately and efficiently as possible, we investigate a novel formulation of Einstein's equations. This formulation evolves differences from a "reference" solution describing the dominant behavior of the spacetime, which mitigates error due to both truncation and approximate finite difference calculations. We find that the error in solutions obtained using the reference formulation can be smaller by an order of magnitude or more, with the level of improvement depending on how well the reference solution approximates the exact solution.

description: Objective. Lucid dreams (LDs) are a specific condition of the mind, can happen either spontaneously or intentionally (mostly in the REM sleep phase), and are characterized by consciousness and awareness during sleep. LDs provide many perspective tools to improve real life (e.g., training motor skills, solving psychological issues, and obtaining inspiration in arts). In this study, we show the possibility of identifying or playing a particular melody in an LD to check how well people may reproduce these skills in LDs. Methods. A group of 254 LD practitioners were divided into two groups and asked to induce an LD and then find or hear a particular melody, chosen either by themselves or by the researchers. After that, they wrote reports describing their experiences in detail. Results. Finding a particular melody, either proposed by the researchers or chosen by the participants, appeared to be achievable, as 84% of the obtained reports described successful attempts (p-value < 2.2e-16). In many cases, the participants’ brains were able to reproduce in LDs high quality and very detailed melodies. Interestingly, success did not depend on practitioners’ overall LD experience, meaning the task is achievable for beginners. Discussion. The results add to the knowledge of abilities that can be used inside LDs. Considering a recent study showing the possibility of transmitting music rhythms directly from an LD in real-time, this finding extends an existing view of the creativity capacity of LDs. Further experiments using basic skills like this will expand the list of helpful LD applications.

description: To understand the formation and evolution of the different stellar populations within our Galaxy it is essential to combine detailed kinematical and chemical information for large samples of stars. We derive chemical abundances of Cu, Zn, Sr, Y, Zr, Ba, Ce, Nd and Eu for a large sample of more than 1000 FGK dwarf stars with high-resolution ($R \sim$\,115000) and high-quality spectra from the HARPS-GTO program. The abundances are derived by a standard Local Thermodinamyc Equilibrium (LTE) analysis using measured Equivalent Widths (EWs) injected to the code MOOG and a grid of Kurucz ATLAS9 atmospheres. We find that thick disk stars are chemically disjunct for Zn and Eu and also show on average higher Zr but lower Ba and Y when compared to the thin disk stars. We also discovered that the previously identified high-$α$ metal-rich population is also enhanced in Cu, Zn, Nd and Eu with respect to the thin disk but presents Ba and Y abundances lower on average, following the trend of thick disk stars towards higher metallities and further supporting the different chemical composition of this population. The ratio of heavy-s to light-s elements of thin disk stars presents the expected behaviour (increasing towards lower metallicities) and can be explained by a major contribution of low-mass AGB stars for s-process production at disk metallicities. However, the opposite trend found for thick disk stars suggests that intermediate-mass AGB stars played an important role in the enrichment of the gas from where these stars formed. Previous works in the literature also point to a possible primary production of light-s elements at low metallicities to explain this trend. Finally, we also find an enhancement of light-s elements in the thin disk at super solar metallicities which could be caused by the contribution of metal-rich AGB stars. (short version)

Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Recent research has highlighted the need for attention to migrant families and their experiences with the school system, to understand factors affecting student learning and success. While there is research endorsing the importance of the school-home partnership (Glick & Hohmann-Marriott, 2007; Markose & Simpson, 2016), there has been limited research attention to the growing demographic of families from India who represent the fourth highest migrant population group in Australia. This project is a case study of two Indian migrant families, and their perceptions of, and experiences with their children’s primary school. The study adopts a qualitative approach and families were selected by purposive sampling in line with pre-defined criteria. Data were collected in semi-structured interviews, in two stages. Interviews focussed on parents’ migration journeys and views on parent involvement. Findings suggest that, being transnationals, both families had a global outlook and wished to contribute to a critical evaluation of the education system. The project has brought to light challenges faced by two families from a minority group, in their perception of barriers to their participation in the parent community at the school. This investigation seeks to contribute to existing literature on education in diaspora communities. Through two case studies, it hopes to shed light on the school-home partnership as a factor in better student outcomes and makes suggestions on ways of strengthening this partnership.

description: Objective. In lucid dreams (LDs), it is possible to maintain consciousness and achieve predetermined goals while in REM sleep. Since the 1980s, scientists have been searching for LD application areas. The current study is the first to demonstrate a method for controlling a car avatar with feedback from LDs. Support for this possibility could be used for personal applications and LD studies. Method. Five experienced LD practitioners participated in the present study. Electromyographical (EMG) sensors were used to detect leg and arm muscle movements, and red diodes were put in front of participants’ eyes to indicate obstacles. Software converted EMG impulses into movements of a virtual car, which was chosen as the avatar. The study was conducted under laboratory conditions with polysomnographic LD verification (pre-agreed eye signals were recorded during REM sleep). Results. The participants spent one to four nights in the laboratory and induced 18 confirmed LDs. In 12 LDs, they drove a virtual car, successfully avoided obstacles, or both. All results were observed in real-time and recorded by the research team. Discussion. The results show an achievable way to control the functions of a computer program with feedback from LDs. In theory, many more options for controlling and feedback besides EMG sensors and diodes could be used. With development, all these technologies could help control more sophisticated objects in virtual and physical realms. The two-way communication from LDs with computers observed in this study could facilitate new studies because people could correct the settings and functions of devices by themselves from LDs. This would also foster communication between people while asleep.

Pavement graffiti: an exploration of roads and footways in words and pictures
Creators: name: Hicks, Megan
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: This project is an invitation to notice the paved surfaces of roads and footways and to read what is written on them. It is based on some hundreds of photographs of pavement inscriptions, taken over a period of thirteen years, and is presented in two parts of equal value. The creative component is Pavement appreciation, an on-line gallery of images and interpretive text (www.pavementappreciation.net). The written component is a cross-disciplinary exegesis that canvasses different aspects of pavement graffiti. Paved surfaces are so familiar that they have become almost invisible, so utilitarian that they have seldom merited contemplation. To counter such neglect, the project takes the reader on a series of intersecting journeys. The first journey is a metaphorical expedition through the written word, searching for evidence of the pavement's symbolic presence in people's thoughts. Along the way this expedition pays brief calls on road engineers and urban eccentrics, literary luminaries and newspaper letter-writers. The other journeys are photographic traversals of streets and sidewalks, scanning the asphalt for signs and messages written in chalk or spray-paint. These journeys are exercises in reconstructing stories – of vilification and romance, marketing and mourning – from fragments gathered off the pavement. Such stories transcend particular locations and individual instances of graffiti, and offer insights into the complexities of everyday life. The project is a travel guide to the horizontal. It suggests by example how the pavement might be studied for new perspectives on the built environment and the lives of people who inhabit it.
Nonlinear particle acceleration and thermal particles in GRB afterglows

description: The standard model for GRB afterglow emission treats the accelerated electron population as a simple power law, $N(E) \propto E^{-p}$ for $p \gtrsim 2$. However, in standard Fermi shock acceleration a substantial fraction of the swept-up particles do not enter the acceleration process at all. Additionally, if acceleration is efficient then the nonlinear backreaction of accelerated particles on the shock structure modifies the shape of the non-thermal tail of the particle spectra. Both of these modifications to the standard synchrotron afterglow impact the luminosity, spectra, and temporal variation of the afterglow. To examine the effects of including thermal particles and nonlinear particle acceleration on afterglow emission, we follow a hydrodynamical model for an afterglow jet and simulate acceleration at numerous points during the evolution. When thermal particles are included, we find that the electron population is at no time well-fitted by a single power law, though the highest-energy electrons are; if the acceleration is efficient, then the power law region is even smaller. Our model predicts hard-soft-hard spectral evolution at X-ray energies, as well as an uncoupled X-ray and optical light curve. Additionally, we show that including emission from thermal particles has drastic effects (factors of 100 and 30, respectively) on the observed flux at optical and GeV energies. This enhancement of GeV emission makes afterglow detections by future $γ$-ray observatories, such as CTA, very likely.

Dreams of a music enthusiast: Analysis of a long dream series
Creators: name: Markert, Bettina

Publisher: name: International Journal of Dream Research
Year: 2024

description: In this study, we analyzed a voice-recorded dream series (N=625) from a music enthusiast with severe sight impairment. We found a very high frequency of musical dreams (58.2%). Our findings supported the continuity hypothesis, suggesting that music engagement impacts dream content. General music themes and listening to music were more predominant, than dreams with making music, singing, and creativity. The finding that the frequency of musical dreams is even higher than in professional musicians, might be explained by the dreamer's musical enthusiasm combined with her severe sight impairment, resulting in her reliance on auditory experiences.  In addition, music celebrities (e.g., Celine Dion) occurred relatively often. Notably, making and/or listening to music in dreams often conveyed negative emotions, while singing was associated with mostly positive emotions. These negative emotions are related to problems with musical performance and scary feelings while listening to specific music.

Interpretation tested by experiment: The dream of the six-legged dog

description: We present experimental evidence that a dream interpretation was accurate. Current wisdom notwithstanding, we could interpret from the text alone because its information is redundant: repetition provides internal checks. Knowing neither dreamer nor their associations we made falsifiable predictions that we tested by subsequently gathering information about the dreamer. Predictions were supported. Results were repeated with seven additional dreams. Each dream was tightly crafted, used humor, drama or hyperbole to penetrate the dreamer’s defenses, and furthered the emergence of personality. Our experiment compliments fMRI and statistics because it studies a whole text as a unique narrative: one iteration identified healing steps during therapy; another confirmed the psychological meaning of a myth. Our experiment may generate a body of objective knowledge about interpretation and make interpretation itself more accurate. In the US 20% live with mental illness. Our experiment supports talk therapy against pressure from the drug and insurance industries.

description: We report experimental evidence that multi-MeV protons accelerated in relativistic laser-plasma interactions are modulated by strong filamentary electromagnetic fields. Modulations are observed when a preplasma is developed on the rear side of a $μ$m-scale solid-density hydrogen target. Under such conditions, electromagnetic fields are amplified by the relativistic electron Weibel instability and are maximized at the critical density region of the target. The analysis of the spatial profile of the protons indicates the generation of $B>$10 MG and $E>$0.1 MV/$μ$m fields with a $μ$m-scale wavelength. These results are in good agreement with three-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations and analytical estimates, which further confirm that this process is dominant for different target materials provided that a preplasma is formed on the rear side with scale length $\gtrsim 0.13 λ_0 \sqrt{a_0}$. These findings impose important constraints on the preplasma levels required for high-quality proton acceleration for multi-purpose applications.
