description: Fragile X Associated Tremor/Ataxia Syndrome (FXTAS) is a neurodegenerative disorder affecting carriers of premutation alleles (PM) of the X-linked FMR1 gene, which contain CGG repeat expansions of 55–200 range in a non-coding region. This late-onset disorder is characterised by the presence of tremor/ataxia and cognitive decline, associated with the white matter lesions throughout the brain, especially involving the middle cerebellar peduncles. Nearly half of older male and ~ 20% of female PM carriers develop FXTAS. While there is evidence for mitochondrial dysfunction in neural and some peripheral tissues from FXTAS patients (though less obvious in the non-FXTAS PM carriers), the results from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) are still controversial. Motor, cognitive, and neuropsychiatric impairments were correlated with measures of mitochondrial and non-mitochondrial respiratory activity, AMPK, and TORC1 cellular stress-sensing protein kinases, and CGG repeat size, in a sample of adult FXTAS male and female carriers. Moreover, the levels of these cellular measures, all derived from Epstein- Barr virus (EBV)- transformed and easily accessible blood lymphoblasts, were compared between the FXTAS (N = 23) and non-FXTAS (n = 30) subgroups, and with baseline data from 33 healthy non-carriers. A significant hyperactivity of cellular bioenergetics components as compared with the baseline data, more marked in the non-FXTAS PMs, was negatively correlated with repeat numbers at the lower end of the CGG-PM distribution. Significant associations of these components with motor impairment measures, including tremor-ataxia and parkinsonism, and neuropsychiatric changes, were prevalent in the FXTAS subgroup. Moreover, a striking elevation of AMPK activity, and a decrease in TORC1 levels, especially in the non-FXTAS carriers, were related to the size of CGG expansion. The bioenergetics changes in blood lymphoblasts are biomarkers of the clinical status of FMR1 carriers. The relationship between these changes and neurological involvement in the affected carriers suggests that brain bioenergetic alterations are reflected in this peripheral tissue. A possible neuroprotective role of stress sensing kinase, AMPK, in PM carriers, should be addressed in future longitudinal studies. A decreased level of TORC1—the mechanistic target of the rapamycin complex, suggests a possible future approach to therapy in FXTAS.

description: Cam morphology size and location might affect the severity of reported burden in people with femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) syndrome. We investigated the relationship between cam morphology size (i.e., alpha angle) and self-reported hip/groin burden (i.e., scores for the International Hip Outcome Tool-33 (iHOT-33) and Copenhagen Hip and Groin Outcome Score (HAGOS)), examined separately for the anteroposterior pelvis (AP) and Dunn 45° radiographs in football players with FAI syndrome. In total, 118 (12 women) subelite football (soccer or Australian football) players with FAI syndrome with cam morphology (alpha angle ≥60°) participated. One blinded assessor quantified superior and anterosuperior cam morphology size by measuring alpha angles for the AP and Dunn 45° radiographs, respectively. Linear regression models investigated relationships between alpha angle (continuous independent variable, separately measured for the AP and Dunn 45° radiographs) and iHOT-33 and HAGOS scores (dependent variables). Larger anterosuperior cam morphology (seen on the Dunn 45° radiograph) was associated with lower (i.e., worse) scores for the iHOT-Total, iHOT-Symptoms, iHOT-Job, and iHOT-Social subscales (unadjusted estimate range −0.553 to −0.319 [95% confidence interval −0.900 to −0.037], p = 0.002 to 0.027), but not the iHOT-Sport (p = 0.459) nor any HAGOS scores (p = 0.110 to 0.802). Superior cam morphology size (measured using the AP radiograph) was not associated with any iHOT-33 or HAGOS scores (p = 0.085 to 0.975). Larger anterosuperior cam morphology may be more relevant to pain and symptoms in football players with FAI syndrome than superior cam morphology, warranting investigation of its effects on reported burden and hip disease over time.

description: The field of Arabic language education is undergoing a significant transformation driven by rapid technological advancements and the widespread adoption of distance learning, particularly in response to recent global shifts. This transformation has opened promising opportunities for Arabic language instruction while presenting notable challenges requiring careful analysis and strategic solutions. The importance of this research stems from Arabic’s status as one of the most widely spoken languages globally and its role as a vital medium for cultural and religious communication within the Arab and Islamic worlds.This study highlights the need to develop modern teaching methodologies that align with the demands of the digital age and leverage technological capabilities. It explores the concept of distance learning, emphasizing its advantages, such as flexibility, accessibility to diverse resources, and adaptability. It also examines challenges, including limited interaction, reduced social reinforcement, technological disparities, infrastructure constraints, and the need for interactive platforms addressing learners’ diverse needs.The research further investigates the integration of digital technologies—such as educational applications, e-learning platforms, and artificial intelligence—into Arabic language instruction. It focuses on enhancing core skills, including reading, writing, listening, and speaking. Operating on the premise that digital tools are not merely supplementary aids but central to skill development, the study adopts a descriptive-analytical approach to evaluate technological tools. It concludes with recommendations to refine digital resources, ensuring they effectively meet learners’ needs and enhance their engagement with the Arabic language.

description: Many autistic children require support to meet their learning needs. Given the heterogeneity within the autism spectrum it is plausible that different types of support might be better suited to different children. However, knowledge on what interventions work best for which children is limited. We examined the outcomes of autistic preschool-aged children receiving one of two community early intervention approaches. Our main objective was to understand which baseline child characteristics might be associated with the degree of individual response to intervention—whether prognostically (i.e., irrespective of intervention received) or predictively (i.e., specifically in the context of one or other EI approach). Participants comprised two matched groups of preschool-aged autistic children receiving either Group-based Early Start Denver Model (G-ESDM; n = 42) delivered in a 1:3–4 staff:child ratio or an Early Intensive Behavioural Intervention (EIBI; n = 40) delivered in combination of 1:1 and 1:2 staff:child ratio. Over an approximate one-year follow-up period, children in both groups made significant gains in Developmental Quotient (DQ) scores, and trend-level gains in adaptive behaviour composite scores. Higher attention to a playful adult measured via an eye-tracking task was prognostically indicative of better verbal DQ and adaptive behaviour outcomes for the cohort overall. Moderation analyses indicated a single predictive effect—of pre-program sustained attention for subsequent NVDQ outcomes specific to those children receiving G-ESDM. These findings suggest that fine-grained measures of learning skills offer promise towards the selection and tailoring of intervention approaches to meet individual children’s learning needs.

description: Descripción de los objetivos:

Los delirios son creencias fijas que no son susceptibles de cambio a la luz de las pruebas en su contra y su contenido puede incluir varios temas. La distinción entre un delirio y una creencia firme es a veces difícil de realizar. En parte depende del grado de convicción con el que se mantiene la creencia a pesar de las pruebas claras o razonables en contra de su veracidad.

En el tipo celotípico, el tema central del delirio es que la pareja es infiel. Se llega a esta creencia sin motivo justificado, basándose en inferencias incorrectas apoyadas en pequeños indicios. Habitualmente, el individuo se encara con su cónyuge o amante e intenta interponerse en la infidelidad imaginada.

 

Material y métodos:

Mujer de 67 años que acude a consulta de salud mental remitida por su médico de atención primaria por presentar desde hace aproximadamente 4 años la convicción de que su marido le es infiel con una amiga suya. La paciente está plenamente convencida de haber leído mensajes románticos.

Desde entonces, la paciente le prohíbe tener su teléfono móvil y le controla cada vez que sale de su domicilio, habiéndose ido aislando socialmente de forma progresiva por la desconfianza de la paciente.

Resultados y conclusiones:

-       Una precoz identificación, un manejo equilibrado y un abordaje apropiado pueden reducir de forma significativa las diversas complicaciones que puede sufrir el paciente.

-       Tener en cuenta un abordaje multidisciplinar y los factores psicosociales es esencial para el manejo adecuado del paciente.
Characterisation of a novel Staphylococcus aureus lineage
Creators: name: Ng, Wei Sze
Publisher: name: Charles Darwin University
Year: 2014

description: Staphylococcus aureus is a major opportunistic human pathogen, commonly found in the nose and on the skin of healthy individuals. S. aureus can cause a broad spectrum of diseases, ranging from minor skin infections to life threatening sepsis and necrotising pneumonia. First reported in Australia in 2004, Clonal complex 75 (CC75), defined by multilocus sequence typing (MLST), is highly divergent from S. aureus at each MLST locus, and is believed to be a novel lineage of S. aureus. CC75 is common in tropical northern Australia where it is associated with skin lesions in the Indigenous population, although CC75 has also been reported elsewhere in the Asia Pacific region and South America. This thesis presents the characterisation of CC75 with the following aims: (i) determining the evolutionary position of CC75 within the genus Staphylococcus; (ii) investigating the resolving power of high-resolution melt (HRM) analysis for rapid screening to identify new CC75 MLST alleles; and (iii) investigating whether saturating dyes such as LCGreen+ are superior to non-saturating dyes such as SYBR Green for the discrimination of sequence variants utilising HRM analysis. Major findings from this thesis are: (i) the striking divergence in the multilocus sequence analysis (MLSA) and MLST housekeeping genes within the core genome between CC75 and S. aureus and the phenotypic characteristic lacking staphyloxanthin, responsible for the golden colour pigment in S. aureus, support CC75 to be a different species from S. aureus (CHAPTER 2); (ii) HRM using SYBR Green in full length MLST amplicons reliably discriminates CC75 MLST alleles at only two (tpi and gmk) out of seven loci (CHAPTER 3); (iii) the robustness of PCR (as measured by CT values) correlates inversely with the reproducibility of HRM curves (as measured by the variation of Tm values) (CHAPTER 3); (iv) HRM using SYBR Green on full length MLST amplicons lacks the resolving power to detect new CC75 MLST alleles (CHAPTER 4); and (v) saturating dyes such as LCGreen+ are not necessarily superior to non-saturating dyes such as SYBR Green for the discrimination of sequence variants (CHAPTER 5). In the presence of LCGreen+ at low MgCl2 concentration (2mM), HRM is confounded by an inverse correlation between DNA concentration and Tm. This effect is eliminated when the MgCl2 concentration is increased to 6mM (CHAPTER 5).

description: FMD is one of the most important economic diseases of cloven-footed animals. It affects cattle, buffaloes, sheep, goats, pigs and many wildlife species. FMD does not have public health risk, but it has significant economic and international trade impacts.

The globalization of trade of animal products has made it obligatory to design integrated FMD control strategies to either eliminate or more effectively control FMD worldwide. The World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) classifies countries in 3 categories with regard to FMD i.e. FMD present with or without vaccination, FMD-free with vaccination, and FMD-free without vaccination (OIE, 2014). More than 100 countries are still affected by FMD worldwide. The disease is endemic in Asia, Africa and Middle East countries. Some developed countries have eradicated the disease e.g. Canada, The United States, and UK.
Characteristics and dynamics of the mulga-spinifex boundaries at Mt. Denison Station in Central Australia
Creators: name: Nicholas, Anstee Menuhin
Publisher: name: Charles Darwin University
Year: 2007

description: Mulga (Acacia aneura) and spinifex (Triodia spp.) are common throughout arid Australia, often dominating the landscape as discrete, abruptly alternating dominants of vegetation. The floristic, soil and fire frequency characteristics of the Mulga and spinifex dominated vegetation in the flat sandplain country at the southern limit of the Tanami Desert were explored to identify factors that are contributing to the distribution and possible dynamics of these vegetation types. A floristic survey revealed that most woody species occurred on both sides of the Mulga-spinifex boundaries. The mulga to spinifex transition sat sharply across a diffuse soil surface textural gradient from loams through to sands. The woody species in both mulga and spinifex vegetation types shared functional life history and regeneration traits. Spinifex vegetation burnt on average three times more than Mulga vegetation. A positive correlation was found between Mulga structural diversity and time since fire. Summer fires are associated with stands dominated by younger Mulga trees. The species richness of woody plants was higher in spinifex than mulga vegetation at the local scale, but similar at the landscape scale. The landscape was overwhelmingly characterized by the dominant mulga and spinifex. I argue that the boundary between mulga and spinifex vegetation types is created and maintained by fire, with possible dynamics associated with a fire-driven soil gradient. The fire effect was deemed most important because of the high degree of shared soil and other floristic features across the Mulga-spinifex boundary. The soil features argued to be reinforced by fire across the Mulga-spinifex boundaries may be contributing to conditions that heighten Mulga’s capacity to regenerate after fire. The reduction of structural complexity in frequently or intensely burnt Mulga stands is of concern for the current mulga-spinifex vegetation matrix in the southern Tanami Desert. It is conceivable that it could indicate a reduced structural state that has future consequences for the current mechanisms that mostly allow Mulga to maintain its boundary position under present conditions.

description: In this episode of the “Völkerrechtliche Tagesthemen” this lecturer discusses the legal frameworks surrounding sea-dumped chemical weapons (SDCWs) and explores whether states have an international responsibility to protect marine environments from their adverse effects. It highlights the historical practice of disposing of chemical weapons in oceans after world wars and the resulting damage to marine ecosystems, particularly in the Baltic Sea. In order to facilitate research, cooperation, and funding for the ongoing scientific activities to deal with SDCWs, an international organisation could serve as a coordinating agency for programmes in this area and could administer a global trust fund to centralise and facilitate voluntary financial contributions to technical and continued scientific research. A concrete goal of raising and safely destroying or remediating a chemical munition within the next five years is suggested as a pilot project for scalable clean-up efforts. Economic drivers, such as revised tender processes and government subsidies, are also considered stimulating engagement in the sustainable remediation of SDCWs by states and the private sector.

description: Purpose: In prioritising the needs of their autistic children, parents often modify their own participation across leisure, social, and workforce activities. Few studies have examined the impact these modifications have on caregiver quality of life (QoL). The aim in the current study was to examine how parenting their autistic child/ren impacts parent’s participation and QoL. Methods: Twenty primary caregivers (29–48 years, all female) of autistic children (7–11 years) were interviewed online about their participation in leisure, community, and employment activities including the impact of COVID-19. Results: Five themes with underlying subthemes were identified using reflexive thematic analysis. The themes were: (1) Reflecting on the important things in life, (2) Getting access to everything needed, (3) Barriers to participation in meaningful activities, (4) Facilitators of participation in meaningful activities, and (5) Participation through the COVID-19 pandemic. Conclusion: The findings highlight the importance of regular participation in meaningful activities for parents of autistic children and the support needed by them, particularly single parents, to achieve balance between meeting caring responsibilities and their own participation needs.

description: Open government data portals can be a valuable source of diverse public-sector information, from lobbyist spending to water quality test results. They also have a lot of aging junk: little-used datasets with cryptic titles and scant documentation. The library domain has years of experience “weeding” out under-used or outdated materials, and our team brought that perspective to the Washington State open data portal (data.wa.gov/browse). But weeding open data turned out to be pretty complicated. What counts as “low quality” or “little” use? Who makes the weeding decision, in a publishing environment that’s usually decentralized and managed anonymously? How do portals, created for transparency, remove content in a transparent way? We examined nearly all U.S. state and many U.S. city government portals and found very few formal data removal policies -- a void that raises questions about authority, usability and management, as many civic data portals enter their second decade. Supported by the Open Data Literacy project (https://odl.ischool.uw.edu/), this work is contributing to a new open data curation partnership between the Washington State Library and the state’s data portal. The talk will cover our findings, recommendations from archivists and other public records experts, and how the Washington State Library and state agencies are working together to improve open data resources for the public.

description: INTRODUCCIÓN Y OBJETIVOS:

Se presenta caso clínico para destacar la importancia de una buena exploración psicopatológica así como la realización de pruebas complementarias necesarias a nivel orgánico para realizar un buen diagnóstico diferencial en la urgencia.

DESCRIPCIÓN DEL CASO:

Varón de 9 años que acude al Servicio de Urgencias pediátricas por episodios de nerviosismo relacionados con pesadillas recurrentes con despertares frecuentes por taquicardias y sudoración, además de sensación de angustia y “velocidad aumentada de objetos y/o personas” que ceden en cuestión de minutos.

Dichos episodios aparecen de forma paralela a proceso febril con odinofagia y microadenopatías dolorosas concordante con una amigdalitis estreptocócica para la que se pautó antibiótico. Persistió la misma clínica ansiosa por a pesar del tratamiento.

EXPLORACIÓN Y PRUEBAS COMPLEMENTARIAS:

Se realizó una exploración física y analítica sanguínea completa en la que se descartó foco neurológico así como otras patologías orgánicas importantes, aparte del proceso infeccioso estreptocócico ya conocido. La exploración psicopatológica descartó clínica psicopatológica importante y se descartó la presencia de sustancias tóxicas/psicoestimulantes mediante un análisis de orina.

Se solicitó interconsulta al Servicio de Neuropediatría para realizar un EEG para descartar una posible epilepsia.

DIAGNÓSTICO DIFERENCIAL Y TRATAMIENTO:

Inicialmente se puede pensar en un cuadro adaptativo, clínica ansiosa reactiva o un posible inicio atípico de esquizofrenia. Sin embargo, también es importante descartar patología orgánica como la epilepsia, migraña, enfermedades infecciosas y/o efectos secundarios a fármacos o sustancias psicoactivas.

No fue necesaria pauta de tratamiento psicofarmacológico.

DISCUSIÓN Y CONCLUSIONES:

El Síndrome de Alicia en el País de las Maravillas es un trastorno de la percepción infrecuente con predominio en la infancia y poco conocido e infradiagnosticado por la falta de criterios clínicos consensuados.

El pronóstico de este síndrome en los niños suele ser favorable, espaciándose cada vez más la frecuencia e intensidad de los síntomas hasta su remisión. Sin embargo, aquellos relacionados con una enfermedad crónica subyacente los síntomas tienden a reaparecer en las fases activas de dicha enfermedad.

However, RMarkdown is less commonly explored and celebrated for the important role it can play in helping R users grow into developers. In this talk, I will provide an overview of RMarkdown Driven Development: a workflow for converting one-off analysis into a well-engineered and well-designed R package with deep empathy for user needs. We will explore how the methodical incorporation of good coding practices such as modularization and testing naturally evolves a single-file RMarkdown into an R project or package. Along the way, we will discuss big-picture questions like “optimal stopping” (why some data products are better left as single files or projects) and concrete details such as the {here} and {testthat} packages which can provide step-change improvements to project sustainability.

An Analysis of Charlotte, North Carolina’s Municipal Buildings Transition to Clean Energy
Creators: name: Stover, Nicholas
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2024

description: This study will engage the question: what kind of investment in renewable energy systems will it take for the City of Charlotte to reduce carbon emissions in city owned buildings? The primary area of focus for this study is Charlotte, North Carolina. The sample for this study is the ten most energy intensive structures for which modeling will provide insight into some of the necessary investments to reduce carbon output. Methods are partly constrained to policies developed by the city, contained within The Strategic Energy Action Plan and Sustainable Facilities Policy. Specifically, the city has a mandate of including solar photovoltaic systems (PV) with roof remediations. Therefore, onsite generation potential is the primary focus of the study. Two energy modeling programs, PVsyst and Helioscope, are used to estimate energy output, resulting savings, and carbon reductions estimates. These programs, both being monetized, present an opportunity to examine their use for demonstration purposes to understand how useful they may be. A preview of results includes system potential of 8.16 – 22.29 megawatts (MW) capacity, and an annual peak output potential of 10.68 – 23.18 gigawatt-hours (GWh). From these estimates, it is possible to develop an approximation of system costs and investment recovery periods, which in this case amount to 20 – 22 million dollars and a recovery period of 5 – 6 years. In addition, a reduction in carbon emissions from baseline conditions will offer insight into environmental impact. The study will conclude with a series of recommendations for how to proceed based on these findings.

description: Educational access and quality are critical social determinants of adolescent and long-term health. Research demonstrates a strong bidirectional relationship between childhood mental health and quality education (Kondirolli et al., 2022; Chu T et al., 2023; Jakovljevic et al., 2016). Burke County, North Carolina, a rural area with 88,881 residents (U.S. Census, 2023), ranks 95th in educational attainment in the state. Recently, the county has witnessed a decline in student mental health, leading to the implementation of a multi-tiered intervention aimed at addressing academic, social, and mental health needs within schools (Burke County Public Schools, 2022). However, the program lacks a preventative education component. This proposal outlines a strategic plan to enhance educational access and quality by integrating evidence-based mental health education initiatives into public middle schools in Burke County.

description: This proposal addresses economic instability in Burke County, North Carolina, by leveraging a Community Health Worker (CHW) approach to enhance workforce development and promote health equity. The initiative, targeting rural and Hmong populations, addresses high unemployment rates, income inequality, and poverty. It focuses on training and deploying CHWs to improve workforce skills, promote healthy decision-making, and bridge healthcare access and education gaps. The program seeks to integrate CHWs into the Burke County Health Department's strategic initiatives, employing a Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) cycle for continuous improvement. The project aims to create sustainable economic stability and improve health outcomes for underserved populations in Burke County by enhancing cross-sector collaboration, increasing financial opportunities, and strengthening community health infrastructure. The proposal emphasizes community engagement, culturally competent care, and the importance of addressing social determinants of health to reduce health disparities and foster a healthier, more equitable community.

description: Key Findings -Most of the mangoes produced in Malawi (99%) are of local varieties. Only 1% is are of improved varieties. -The majority of mangoes are traded informally and less than 1% enter food chain stores. Very few also get exported, primarily by the only large scale mango processing factory, Malawi Mangoes. -Malawi Mangoes used to process both local and improved mango varieties for puree but has suspended puree production due to low profitability. It now exports fresh improved variety fruits to international markets and plans on producing dried mangoes. -The largest global markets for mango (for fresh fruits and juice extracts) are in the USA, EU, and the Middle East. Malawi can take advantage of the African Growth Opportunity Act (AGOA) to export mangoes to the United States of America, duty free. Other markets that Malawi can exploit include India and South Africa. -There is need to spur production of improved varieties demanded in these international markets through investments in research and extension. -Smallholder farmers realize Gross Margins of close to MK300,000/ha or 78% profit margin, while semicommercial farmers realize close to MK1.6 million/ha or 87% profit margin. -Whole sellers make a Gross Margin of about MK63, 000 per month representing 12% profit margin while retailers make about MK289, 000 per month representing 52% profit margin. -The biggest challenge in the local mango value chain in Malawi is spoilage and lack of reliable markets. -There is need to improve handling and transportation of mangoes to reduce post-harvest losses. There is also need to invest in infrastructure development including electricity, irrigation, communication, and roads. -The GoM constructed a horticulture shelter in Kanengo that can be used for packaging mangoes and other fruits and vegetables for the market, but the shelter is currently a white elephant.

The information content of open market share repurchase: Corporate governance or earnings management matters more?

description: In this paper, we investigate whether corporate governance mechanisms, in particular, the market for corporate control, affects shareholder‟s wealth, both in the short and long run when firms repurchase their shares. Also, we examine whether information content on corporate governance mechanisms subsumes that of earnings management.

 We find that repurchasing firms that have less antitakeover provisions (ATPs), being subject more to the disciplinary power of the market for corporate control, experience significantly stronger short run upon and long run abnormal returns after open market share repurchase announcements than those with more ATPs. A zero-investment strategy that buys firms with less ATPs and sells short those with more yields 0.45% (significant at 10%) in the short run and 9.6% per year (significant at 1%) in the long run. The zero-investment alpha that buys firms that manage earnings upwards and sells short those that manage downwards the most is nonetheless insignificant. However, for firms that manage their earnings downwards, the zero-investment alpha on the two extreme ATP portfolio returns a staggering 20.4% (significant at 0.1%). This paper provides evidence that investors respond more strongly to repurchase announcements by well governed firms, in support of information signaling hypothesis and that corporate governance characteristics subsume information content on earnings management.

A two-item two-warehouse periodic review inventory model with transshipment

description: This thesis considers a two-item two-warehouse periodic review inventory model that allows transshipment between warehouses. Transshipment decision between warehouses is dependent on the time to the next order and the state of inventory in the other warehouse when a stock out occurs in a warehouse. The objective function considered is the total operating cost which comprises the variable ordering costs, the holding costs at the warehouses, the costs of transshipment between warehouses and the cost of emergency orders if transshipment is not possible. An innite horizon dynamic programming model is used to develop the objective function. As the resulting optimization problem is a non-linear integer programming problem, we propose a heuristic to solve the problem. The proposed heuristic is a combination of Greedy heuristics and Lagrangian relaxation methods. The advantage of the Lagrangian method is its ability to provide a test for the quality of the solution. A series of numerical experiments performed not only illustrates the method proposed but also shows that optimality can be achieved using the proposed heuristic. Further, the method also provides the optimal instants when emergency orders will be preferred over transshipment.

The social life of the computer in Ramingining
Creators: name: Nicholls, Anthea
Publisher: name: Charles Darwin University
Year: 2009

description: This thesis is the outcome of eighteen months of fieldwork in Ramingining - an Indigenous town in Arnhem Land, Australia - during 2006-2008, after four years of my living there as a teacher. It was made possible by the generous participation of the Yolngu people of Ramingining, in the relationships which are the subject of this thesis. Within these relationships, I paid particular attention to one actor: the computer. I asked, How is the computer living here? In the thesis I trace my living and working in Ramingining, with people and with computers and other objects, as an observer and as an intervener. I also trace my engagement with the research literature around material semiotics, particularly Actor Network Theory (ANT) and its subsequent developments. I show that this work - and its material, social and textual participants - became actants in turn in the story that subsequently unfolded in Ramingining. The thesis enacts a mutual, revealing interrogation between ANT and this story. I found that as a ‘material semiotic’ toolkit, Actor Network Theory enabled me to encounter the complexity (which it also predicted I would find) in Ramingining and to follow some significant actors: Yolngu endeavouring to use computers to get access to bank accounts, myself searching for a place to live, Yolngu computer access places emerging and disappearing, statistics revealing and hiding other actors, some ‘Balandas behaving badly’, and always, computers .. working out their own salvation while Yolngu endeavoured to negotiate the complexities of the sociotechnical world in which they now find themselves. As ANT predicted, I also found that when things happened, or didn’t, actors were being held by strong ties and breaking weak ones; I watched networks being built and undone. I documented something of the huge amount of work - usually hidden - which holds things in place. I found that ‘ontological choreography’ was necessary to recognise some things which didn’t behave like networks - in whose terms they were merely messes - and so to encounter them creatively. In this manner, I also found a way to talk about ‘goods’; to address the question of how developers and researchers might behave in an Indigenous town. Then in the end I allowed the computer to speak, and to tell its own story.

Subjects: Applied Computer Science

description: This paper presents, the design, the implementation and the preliminary experimentation of a simulation framework for investigating the effectiveness of battery powered vehicles under the assumption that they follow a route which is either predefined or its basic characteristics can be obtained at almost real time. In particular we would like to investigate the feasibility of all electric, battery only powered trains whose batteries are charged at appropriately located renewable energy sources. We have develop our web based, open software simulation platform by utilizing and extending Gridlab-D, a power system modeling and simulation environment and by incorporating data from various sources. Results from preliminary simulations of real life scenarios are presented and analyzed.
