description: Hypertension prevalence varies between ethnic groups, possibly due to differences in genetic, environmental, and cultural determinants. Hispanic/Latino Americans are a diverse and understudied population. We performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of blood pressure (BP) traits in 12,278 participants from the Hispanics Community Health Study/Study of Latinos (HCHS/SOL). In the discovery phase we identified eight previously unreported BP loci. In the replication stage, we tested these loci in the 1982 Pelotas Birth Cohort Study of admixed Southern Brazilians, the COGENT-BP study of African descent, women of European descent from the Women Health Initiative (WHI), and a sample of European descent from the UK Biobank. No loci met the Bonferroni-adjusted level of statistical significance (0.0024). Two loci had marginal evidence of replication: rs78701042 (NGF) with diastolic BP (P = 0.008 in the 1982 Pelotas Birth Cohort Study), and rs7315692 (SLC5A8) with systolic BP (P = 0.007 in European ancestry replication). We investigated whether previously reported loci associated with BP in studies of European, African, and Asian ancestry generalize to Hispanics/Latinos. Overall, 26% of the known associations in studies of individuals of European and Chinese ancestries generalized, while only a single association previously discovered in a people of African descent generalized.

description: Identifying the superconducting (SC) gap structure of the iron-based high-temperature superconductors (Fe-HTS's) remains a key issue for the understanding of superconductivity in these materials. In contrast to other unconventional superconductors, in the Fe-HTS's both $d$-wave and extended s-wave pairing symmetries are close in energy, with the latter believed to be generally favored over the former. Probing the proximity between these very different SC states and identifying experimental parameters that can tune them, are of central interest. Here we report high-pressure muon spin rotation experiments on the temperature-dependent magnetic penetration depth (lambda) in the optimally doped Fe-HTS Ba_0.65Rb_0.35Fe_2As_2. At ambient pressure this material is known to be a nodeless s-wave superconductor. Upon pressure a strong decrease of (lambda) is observed, while the SC transition temperature remains nearly constant. More importantly, the low-temperature behavior of (1/lambda^{2}) changes from exponential saturation at zero pressure to a power-law with increasing pressure, providing unambiguous evidence that hydrostatic pressure promotes nodal SC gaps. Comparison to microscopic models favors a d-wave over a nodal s^{+-}-wave pairing as the origin of the nodes. Our results provide a new route of understanding the complex topology of the SC gap in Fe-HTS's.

description: This thesis explores the interests of Rome's Italian allies and their motivations for compliance or resistance to Rome in the Third and Second centuries BCE. In order to address such a question, I apply the Sociologist Dennis Wrong’s typology of power to identify what forms of power influenced allied decision making. The results support the widespread modern acknowledgment that fear and rewards had a strong impact on maintaining allied compliance and, more importantly, the results suggest that many allies came to consider Roman control as legitimate.

description: QT interval prolongation is a heritable risk factor for ventricular arrhythmias and can predispose to sudden death. Most genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of QT were performed in European ancestral populations, leaving other groups uncharacterized. Herein we present the first QT GWAS of Hispanic/Latinos using data on 15,997 participants from four studies. Study-specific summary results of the association between 1000 Genomes Project (1000G) imputed SNPs and electrocardiographically measured QT were combined using fixed-effects meta-analysis. We identified 41 genome-wide significant SNPs that mapped to 13 previously identified QT loci. Conditional analyses distinguished six secondary signals at NOS1AP (n = 2), ATP1B1 (n = 2), SCN5A (n = 1), and KCNQ1 (n = 1). Comparison of linkage disequilibrium patterns between the 13 lead SNPs and six secondary signals with previously reported index SNPs in 1000G super populations suggested that the SCN5A and KCNE1 lead SNPs were potentially novel and population-specific. Finally, of the 42 suggestively associated loci, AJAP1 was suggestively associated with QT in a prior East Asian GWAS; in contrast BVES and CAP2 murine knockouts caused cardiac conduction defects. Our results indicate that whereas the same loci influence QT across populations, population-specific variation exists, motivating future trans-ethnic and ancestrally diverse QT GWAS.

description: The critical mass effect is a prevailing topic in the study of complex systems. Recent research has shown that a minority of zealots can effectively drive widespread cooperation in social dilemma games. However, achieving a critical mass of cooperation in the prisoner's dilemma requires stricter conditions. The underlying mechanism behind this effect remains unclear, particularly in the context of repeated interactions. This paper aims to investigate the influence of a committed minority on cooperation in the Iterated Prisoner's Dilemma game, a widely studied model of repeated interactions between individuals facing a social dilemma. In contrast to previous findings, we identify tipping points for both well-mixed and structured populations. Our findings demonstrate that a committed minority of unconditional cooperators can induce full cooperation under weak imitation conditions. Conversely, a committed minority of conditional cooperators, who often employ Tit-for-Tat or extortion strategies, can promote widespread cooperation under strong imitation conditions. These results hold true across various network topologies and imitation rules, suggesting that critical mass effects may be a universal principle in social dilemma games. Additionally, we discover that an excessive density of committed conditional cooperators can hinder cooperation in structured populations. This research advances our understanding of the role of committed minorities in shaping social behavior and provides valuable insights into cooperation dynamics.

description: We consider the $(1+\varepsilon)$-Approximate Nearest Neighbour (ANN) Problem for polygonal curves in $d$-dimensional space under the Fréchet distance and ask to what extent known data structures for doubling spaces can be applied to this problem. Initially, this approach does not seem viable, since the doubling dimension of the target space is known to be unbounded -- even for well-behaved polygonal curves of constant complexity in one dimension. In order to overcome this, we identify a subspace of curves which has bounded doubling dimension and small Gromov-Hausdorff distance to the target space. We then apply state-of-the-art techniques for doubling spaces and show how to obtain a data structure for the $(1+\varepsilon)$-ANN problem for any set of parametrized polygonal curves. The expected preprocessing time needed to construct the data-structure is $F(d,k,S,\varepsilon)n\log n$ and the space used is $F(d,k,S,\varepsilon)n$, with a query time of $F(d,k,S,\varepsilon)\log n + F(d,k,S,\varepsilon)^{-\log(\varepsilon)}$, where $F(d,k,S,\varepsilon)=O\left(2^{O(d)}kΦ(S)\varepsilon^{-1}\right)^k$ and $Φ(S)$ denotes the spread of the set of vertices and edges of the curves in $S$. We extend these results to the realistic class of $c$-packed curves and show improved bounds for small values of $c$.

description: A search for the process $e^+e^- \to η^\prime$ has been performed with the SND detector at the VEPP-2000 $e^+e^-$ collider. The data were accumulated at the center-of-mass energy of $957.78\pm 0.06$ MeV with an integrated luminosity of about 2.9 pb$^{-1}$. For reconstruction of the $η^\prime$ meson five decay chains have been used: $η^{\prime}\toηπ^+π^-$ followed by the $η$ decays to $γγ$ and $3π^0 $, and $η^{\prime} \to ηπ^0π^0$ followed by the $η$ decays to $π^+π^-π^0$, $γγ$, and $3π^0$. As a result, the upper limit has been set on the $η^\prime$ electronic width: $Γ_{η^{\prime}\to e^+e^-} < 0.0020$ eV at the 90\% confidence level.

The use of inclusion within the Victorian CJS, which is seen as pots of paint and artwork on the wall, is a passive approach to addressing overrepresentation and reducing recidivism. In New South Wales, programs employing self-determination, in which Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander people make the decisions on how to approach the issues within the community have been successful in addressing overrepresentation and reducing recidivism for Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander people.

description: We compute the radiation emitted by a particle on the innermost stable circular orbit of a rapidly spinning black hole both (a) analytically, working to leading order in the deviation from extremality and (b) numerically, with a new high-precision Teukolsky code. We find excellent agreement between the two methods. We confirm previous estimates of the overall scaling of the power radiated, but show that there are also small oscillations all the way to extremality. Furthermore, we reveal an intricate mode-by-mode structure in the flux to infinity, with only certain modes having the dominant scaling. The scaling of each mode is controlled by its conformal weight, a quantity that arises naturally in the representation theory of the enhanced near-horizon symmetry group. We find relationships to previous work on particles orbiting in precisely extreme Kerr, including detailed agreement of quantities computed here with conformal field theory calculations performed in the context of the Kerr/CFT correspondence.

description: Tensor networks, and in particular Projected Entangled Pair States (PEPS), are a powerful tool for the study of quantum many body physics, thanks to both their built-in ability of classifying and studying symmetries, and the efficient numerical calculations they allow. In this work, we introduce a way to extend the set of symmetric PEPS in order to include local gauge invariance and investigate lattice gauge theories with fermionic matter. To this purpose, we provide as a case study and first example, the construction of a fermionic PEPS, based on Gaussian schemes, invariant under both global and local U(1) gauge transformations. The obtained states correspond to a truncated U(1) lattice gauge theory in 2 + 1 dimensions, involving both the gauge field and fermionic matter. For the global symmetry (pure fermionic) case, these PEPS can be studied in terms of spinless fermions subject to a p-wave superconducting pairing. For the local symmetry (fermions and gauge fields) case, we find confined and deconfined phases in the pure gauge limit, and we discuss the screening properties of the phases arising in the presence of dynamical matter.

This is accompanied by a study of Jean Rhys’ Wide Sargasso Sea (1966) and Kate Jennings’ Snake (1996), that interrogates how these feminist writers challenge the oppressive characterisations of madness and mental illness in these Victorian works; and demonstrates how their revisions have informed the creation of my own lesbian narrative about social oppression, madness, mental illness, and internalised homophobia.

description: Fibronectin (FN) assembly and fibrillogenesis are critically important in both development and the adult organism, but their importance in vascular functions is not fully understood. Here we identify a novel pathway by which haemodynamic forces regulate FN assembly and fibrillogenesis during vascular remodelling. Induction of disturbed shear stress in vivo and in vitro resulted in complex FN fibril assembly that was dependent on the mechanosensor PECAM. Loss of PECAM also inhibited the cell-intrinsic ability to remodel FN. Gain- and loss-of-function experiments revealed that PECAM-dependent RhoA activation is required for FN assembly. Furthermore, PECAM−/− mice exhibited reduced levels of active β1 integrin that were responsible for reduced RhoA activation and downstream FN assembly. These data identify a new pathway by which endothelial mechanotransduction regulates FN assembly and flow-mediated vascular remodelling.
Sacred Values and Collective Action Problems

description: This thesis examines sacred values as a means of resolving collective action problems. Sacred values are a unique kind of moral value that is primarily characterised by an absolute resistance to economic trade-offs, whereas collective action problems are defined by a divergence between individual and collective rationality. By modelling an individual who holds a sacred value judgement as a boundedly rational agent, it is demonstrated how sacred values are able to unilaterally re-align individual and collective rationality, thereby resolving some collective action problems, such as stag hunt scenarios.

“Doing the Will of the Father in Heaven” in the Gospel of Matthew: The Confluence of Law Observance and Moral Behaviour
Creators: name: EMILY ROSA FERO-KOVASSY
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2020
Subjects: Religious Studies

description: This thesis examines the Gospel of Matthew's emphasis on the “will of the Father in heaven" in light of the recent scholarly focus on the Gospel’s Jewishness. It explores the semantics of the “will of God” in Jewish thought in biblical, apocryphal, pseudepigraphal, intertestamental, and Tannaitic literature, and then traces the continuities and developments of these semantics in the Gospel of Matthew and the New Testament. I argue that Matthew’s emphasis on “doing the will of the Father in heaven” exhibits the standard confluence of Law observance and moral behaviour found in Jewish textual traditions.

description: The focus of the study was on identifying how a group of selected South African stakeholders understood and perceived the communication of climate change and CCS technology. This study explored factors pertinent in the perception, understanding and communication of Climate Change and Carbon Capture and Storage technology in South Africa as a developing country. Through an in-depth analysis it emerged that, while there are several communication initiatives, climate change is still mainly communicated in scientific and academic circles and rarely in the public domain.
The influence of Descartes’ philosophy on past and present feminism
Creators: name: ROSALIND IRENE VOLPATO

Subjects: subject: Philosophy
subject: FOS: Philosophy, ethics and religion

description: René Descartes’ concepts of free will and the passions inspired several philosophers to develop feminist arguments in the late 1600s and early 1700s. This thesis examines how three of those early modern philosophers—François Poullain de la Barre, Gabrielle Suchon, and Mary Astell—adopted and extended Cartesian ideas to develop feminist views. The thesis then compares their views with those of contemporary feminist Marguerite La Caze, who uses Luce Irigaray’s and Descartes’ concepts to ground an ethics of sexual difference. The main contention is that while the earlier feminists remain true to Descartes’ ideas, La Caze diverges from a strictly Cartesian framework.

description: Jung emphasised the importance of understanding evil as be believed that people are misled by media representations of evil, hence the shadow. The shadow are the evil characteristics of a person and is projected to avoid judgement, however, must be accepted to develop the Self or wholeness of being. The purpose of this study is to explore archetypal evil in a contemporary series, Vikings. Using an interpretive approach, a content analysis and participant interviews were conducted. Results found that evil is ambiguous due to variations of representations of archetypal evil however, arguably, the core meaning of evil/ shadow is resolute.
Progress framing in buy-N-get-one-free loyalty cards: Money spent vs. products bought
Creators: name: TANG, YUMING
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2023
Subjects: classificationCode: 350601
subject: Consumer behaviour

description: This thesis explores how goal progress framing impacts consumer motivation to use the buy-N-get-one-free loyalty cards. Specifically, it examines two progress framings: "product units purchased" versus "money spent." It proposes a faster growth in motivation with the money framing due to different valuation processes and perceptions of loss versus gain. Five studies were conducted, and results regarding progress framing's moderating effect were inconclusive. Although the studies don't consistently confirm the moderating role of progress framing, they illuminate a complex relationship between progress framing, goal progress, and consumer motivation, with further research required to clarify underlying mechanisms.

description: All people die, and in high-income countries like the Republic of Ireland, a large and growing majority die from serious chronic diseases like cancer, heart disease, organ failure and dementia. It is projected that the number of people living and dying with serious chronic disease in Ireland will approximately double over the next 30 years. The Department of Health in 2020 commissioned an update to the national policy on palliative care for adults. Health care has now entered an era of ‘big data’, in which unprecedented volumes of information are collected routinely on patients and their families, on health care workers and providers, and on service use and unmet need. ‘Big’ data can improve the quality of care and inform Sláintecare implementation. It may be particularly valuable in guiding the development of palliative and end-of-life care, due to the challenges conducting primary research studies and the substantial routine data collection on people with serious illness. The aim of this study was to examine current routine data practices on palliative and end-of-life care in Ireland, and to understand how these can be improved in the context of the palliative care policy update, wider system reforms, growing needs and costs, and a shifting health care data landscape. All key project outputs are archived here.
The Higgs branch of Heterotic ALE instantons

description: We begin a study of the Higgs branch of six-dimensional $(1,0)$ little string theories governing the worldvolumes of heterotic ALE instantons. We give a description of this space by constructing the corresponding magnetic quiver. The latter is a three-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=4$ quiver gauge theory that flows in the infrared to a fixed point whose quantum corrected Coulomb branches is the Higgs branch of the six-dimensional theory of interest. We present results for both types of heterotic strings, and mostly for $\mathbb C^2/\mathbb Z_k$ ALE spaces. Our analysis is valid both in the absence and in the presence of small instantons. Along the way, we also describe small $SO(32)$ instanton transitions in terms of the corresponding magnetic quiver, which parallels a similar treatment of the small $E_8$ instanton transitions in the context of the $E_8\times E_8$ heterotic string.

Fragmented Pasts: Transgenerational Memory in the Cambodian Australian Diaspora

Subjects: History

description: In the aftermath of Khmer Rouge rule in Cambodia (1975-1979), over half a million Cambodians sought refuge through immigration abroad. Through interviews with second-generation Cambodian Australians in Melbourne, I explore the processes through which the descendants of survivors learn about their family histories and make meaning of narratives of Democratic Kampuchea, migration and settlement in Australia. I argue that this process is a fragmented one, further nuanced by the second generation’s personal, cultural, temporal and spatial distance from their family histories.
Effects of thermal shape fluctuations and pairing fluctuations on the giant dipole resonance in warm nuclei

description: Apart from the higher limits of isospin and temperature, the properties of atomic nuclei are intriguing and less explored at the limits of lowest but finite temperatures. At very low temperatures there is a strong interplay between the shell (quantal fluctuations), statistical (thermal fluctuations), and residual pairing effects as evidenced from the studies on giant dipole resonance (GDR). In our recent work [Phys. Rev. C \textbf{90}, 044308 (2014)], we have outlined some of our results from a theoretical approach for such warm nuclei where all these effects are incorporated along within the thermal shape fluctuation model (TSFM) extended to include the fluctuations in the pairing field. In this article, we present the complete formalism based on the microscopic-macroscopic approach for determining the deformation energies and a macroscopic approach which links the deformation to GDR observables. We discuss our results for the nuclei $^{97}$Tc, $^{120}$Sn, $^{179}$Au, and $^{208}$Pb, and corroborate with the experimental data available. The TSFM could explain the data successfully at low temperature only with a proper treatment of pairing and its fluctuations. More measurements with better precision could yield rich information about several phase transitions that can happen in warm nuclei.

description: HIV prevention research is focused on combining antiretrovirals (ARV) and progestin contraceptives to prevent HIV infection and pregnancy. The possibility that progestins compromise ARV anti-HIV activity prompted us to evaluate the effects of progestins on tenofovir (TFV) and TFV-alafenamide (TAF) on HIV infection and intracellular TFV-diphosphate (TFV-DP) concentrations in blood and genital CD4+ T cells. Following incubation of blood CD4+ T cells with TFV or TAF, Medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA), but not Levonorgestrel, Norethisterone or progesterone, suppressed the anti-HIV effect of TFV by reducing intracellular TFV-DP, but had no effect on TAF inhibition of infection or TFV-DP. In contrast, with genital CD4+ T cells, MPA suppressed TAF inhibition of HIV infection and lowered of TFV-DP concentrations without affecting TFV protection. These findings demonstrate that MPA selectively compromises TFV and TAF protection in blood and genital CD4+ T cells and suggests that MPA may decrease ARV protection in individuals who use ARV intermittently for prevention.

description: What are the potential TJ outcomes of opening apartheid inquests in a post-TRC, democratic SA? Using Wietekamp's model, the study identifies three outcomes that originated from the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission, which continue in the post-transit democracy. The submission is that current developments are not a new phenomenon per say, but a continued form of justice in a neutral court of law. In this regard, the challenges of courts as sites of conflict resolution are explored. Subsequently, which institutions have been responsive to the legal developments?

We also give strong evidence that the classical bound of the temporal Bell's inequality holds for dynamics that can be described by entanglement-breaking channels---a more general class of dynamics than that allowed by classical physics.
