description: Inflammatory diseases and stressor-related psychiatric disorders, for which inflammation is a risk factor, are increasing in modern Western societies. Recent studies suggest that immunoregulatory approaches are a promising tool in reducing the risk of suffering from such disorders. Specifically, the environmental saprophyte Mycobacterium vaccae National Collection of Type Cultures (NCTC) 11659 has recently gained attention for the prevention and treatment of stress-related psychiatric disorders. However, effective use requires a sophisticated understanding of the effects of M. vaccae NCTC 11659 and related rapidly growing mycobacteria (RGMs) on microbiome–gut–immune–brain interactions. This historical narrative review is intended as a first step in exploring these mechanisms and provides an overview of preclinical and clinical studies on M. vaccae NCTC 11659 and related RGMs. The overall objective of this review article is to increase the comprehension of, and interest in, the mechanisms through which M. vaccae NCTC 11659 and related RGMs promote stress resilience, with the intention of fostering novel clinical strategies for the prevention and treatment of stressor-related disorders.

description: In der vorliegenden Arbeit wurden Zeitungsanzeigen aus der Zeit des Austrofaschismus und des Nationalsozialismus dahingehend überprüft, inwieweit sie Rückschlüsse auf die Ideologie des jeweils herrschenden Regimes zulassen. Analysiert werden Anzeigen für Waschmittel zweier Wiener Tageszeitungen (Neuigkeits-Weltblatt und Neues Wiener Tagblatt) aus den Jahren 1936 bis 1940. Nach einem geschichtlichen Überblick, wobei der Schwerpunkt jeweils auf den politischen, sozialen und wirtschaftlichen Verhältnissen liegt, folgt eine Beschreibung der ideologischen Grundsätze der beiden Regime. Für den Austrofaschismus ergab sich als Schwerpunkt der Katholizismus, für den Nationalsozialismus waren am wesentlichsten der auf den Sozialdarwinismus basierende Rassismus sowie die Forderung nach Lebensraum im Osten. Für beide Regime war jedoch ein starkes Gemeinschaftsgefühl wesentlicher Punkt der Ideologie. Im Anschluss daran wurde das Werbe- und Anzeigenwesen und deren gesetzliche Grundlagen näher betrachtet sowie ein kurzer Abriss über das Pressewesen gegeben. Die Analyse der Zeitungsanzeigen erfolgt schließlich anhand einer Inhaltsanalyse, deren theoretische Grundsätze zuerst erklärt werden. Danach folgt die Analyse, bei der zuerst formale Kriterien, daran anschließend die Anzeigenthemen auf ihre Häufigkeit überprüft werden. Aufgrund dieser Daten wird für jeden Zeitraum eine typische Anzeige ermittelt, die danach interpretiert wird. Reale Gegebenheiten der jeweiligen Zeit und ideologische Grundlagen der Regime werden mit den Anzeigen verglichen. Das Ergebnis der Inhaltsanalyse zeigt wenig Unterschiede in den Anzeigen der Jahre 1936 bis 1939, jedoch eine starke Verschiebung des Themenschwerpunktes der Anzeigen im Jahr 1940. Daraus lässt sich einerseits auf die Lebensumstände rückschließen, andererseits wird aber auch durch die wiederholte Betonung des Gemeinschaftsgefühls und der Notwendigkeit des (gemeinsamen) Sparens die NS-Ideologie deutlich.

Let's talk (discreetly) about sex : the content generation and design of an online sexual and reproductive health information resource for young Vietnamese : a communications perspective
Creators: name: Clements, Alice
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: Vietnam is a populous nation experiencing rapid social and economic transition. These changes, in combination with the spread of sexually transmitted infections such as HIV/AIDS, are compromising the reproductive health of young Vietnamese.

Access to reliable reproductive health information is limited and social taboos prevent young people from talking openly about this topic. A huge number of young people living in Vietnam thus find themselves without access to relevant, accurate, non-threatening and unbiased information about sexuality and sexual health.

The research outlined in this thesis approaches the issue of sexual health information provision for young people living in Vietnam from a participatory action research foundation. A key focus is investigation of the ways in which young people living in Vietnam can be included in the development of online sexual health communication tools by, for and about young Vietnamese.

As part of this investigation, this thesis describes research conducted with young Vietnamese in Australia and Vietnam to identify and elucidate their reproductive health information needs, as situated within the contemporary Vietnamese socio-cultural context. The research was undertaken in order to determine how an online resource might meet these needs. This exploratory process involved the utilisation of a range of research methods to determine the website's optimal content, style, features and tone in relation to the Vietnamese context and requirements of its target users.

It is hoped that the record of discovery resulting from this research journey will contribute to the existing body of knowledge on online health communication and participatory approaches to the development of context-sensitive health and behaviour-change communication.

description: Psychosocial stress increases cardiovascular risk, which coincides with enhanced oxidative DNA damage. Increased sympathetic tone-related catecholamine release causes oxidative stress, which contributes to catecholamine-related cardiotoxicity. Therefore, we tested the hypothesis whether acute psychosocial stress induces oxidative DNA damage, its degree being related to the cardiovascular risk profile and depending on the sympathetic stress response. After assessment of the prospective cardiovascular Münster score (PROCAM) to determine the risk of acute myocardial infarction, 83 male and 12 female healthy volunteers underwent the Trier social stress test for groups (TSST-G). Heart rate variability was quantified by measuring the standard deviation (SDNN) and root mean square of successive differences (RMSSD) between normal-to-normal inter-beat intervals. Salivary α-amylase (sAA) activity was assessed as a surrogate for noradrenaline plasma concentrations. Oxidative DNA damage was determined using whole-blood single-cell gel electrophoresis (“tail moment” in the “comet assay”). A total of 33 subjects presented with a prospective risk of myocardial infarction (risk+) vs. 59 subjects without risk (risk-). The TSST-G stress significantly increased blood pressure, heart rate, and sAA in both groups, while oxidative DNA damage was only increased in the risk+ group. Immediately after the TSST-G, the “tail moment” showed significant inverse linear relations with both SDNN and RMSSD. Acute psychosocial stress may cause oxidative DNA damage, the degree of which is directly related to the individual cardiovascular risk profile and depends on the stress-induced increase in the sympathetic tone.

The iTour project: a study of the design and testing of effective online animated tours as a form of interactive online documentation
Creators: name: Weiss, April
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: The iTour Project is an empirical study of the design of online interactive animated tours (iTours), and establishes a knowledge base for technical communicators and new media designers working in this area. The key objectives of this research were to understand the features of effective iTours; to explore the processes and techniques of designing and testing effective iTours; and to establish new praxis in new media design for technical communication.

Design artefacts resulted from six key activities including: (1) Sub-project 1- RMIT Multimedia Online documentation with basic animation; (2) Sub-project 2- Online @ RMIT Orientation with some iTour animation; (3) Third-party iTour analytical review to deconstruct iTours and determine key elements; (4) Sub-project 3- Online @ RMIT iTours; (5) iTour Guidelines; and (6) A second, more comprehensive third-party iTour analysis to test the Guidelines.

The outcome of the research is encapsulated in a web site that binds the artefacts of design sub-projects with a set of Guidelines. These Guidelines form a conceptual, structural and operational framework for iTour designers, and draw on the knowledge established while designing and testing iTours, analysing third-party iTours, and researching comparative fields. These fields include technical communication; new media; web; usability design and testing; and, to a lesser extent, software design and testing. The Guidelines, in conjunction with the knowledge base, were developed to facilitate effective communication through iTours.

Through this research, the design action case study was established as a hybrid research approach: design research and action research are blended; and knowledge is situated within, and derived from, a case study. In support of design research, the PDIOR design cycles have been specified and include these phases: plan; develop; implement; observe; and reflect. The PDIOR approach combines design research and action research in a cyclical mode to explore technical communication and new media activities.

Finally, eleven principles for designing effective iTours emerged from this research project. Articulation of these principles, in addition to the Guidelines, contributes new knowledge in the field for technical communicators, new media designers and others, who wish to engage in iTour design.

description: Abstract Unrelated haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) has evolved from an experimental protocol to a potentially curative first‐line treatment in a variety of haematologic malignancies. The continuous refinement of treatment protocols and supportive care paired with ongoing achievements in the technological field of histocompatibility testing enabled this transformation. Without a doubt, HLA matching is still the foremost criterion for donor selection in unrelated HSCT. However, HSCT‐related treatment complications still occur frequently, often resulting in patients suffering severely or even dying as a consequence of such complications. Current literature indicates that other immune system modulating factors may play a role in the setting of HSCT. In this review, we discuss the current clinical evidence of a possible influence of nonclassical HLA antigens HLA‐E, HLA‐F, and HLA‐G as well as the HLA‐like molecules MICA and MICB, in HSCT.

subject: Softwareentwicklung

description: Between software product lines and clone-and-own software development lies a large spectrum of approaches for software projects. Feature trace recording is a novel method for tracking feature mappings during the development of a clone-and-own project. An existing evaluation shows that feature trace recording is able to perform edits usually found in a software product line but does not give any insight into its applicability to real software development. This thesis extends this evaluation by empirically evaluating feature trace recording on the commit history of Marlin, an open-source preprocessor-based software product line. We gather empirical data by categorizing edits into edit patterns. From the pattern matches, we reverse engineer how these edits could be reproduced using feature trace recording (i.e., which feature context is necessary). When using the edit patterns presented by Stănciulescu et al., we discovered problems regarding ambiguity, mutual exclusivity, and exhaustion of the patterns. To solve these problems, we refine and extend the patterns introducing a new classification of edit patterns together with a mechanism to detect them. With this new classification, we present exact definitions for edit patterns that are mutually exclusive and exhaustive regarding all edited lines of code. We implemented a tool for edit pattern detection and to perform the reverse engineering of edits automatically. The results of our evaluation include exact amounts of all pattern matches found in the commit history of Marlin. From our reverse engineering of the feature contexts, we can conclude that changing the feature context may not be a large effort for developers. We also conclude that the complexity of feature contexts may be reasonably low, and we provide first observations on when the feature context can be omitted and the similarity of feature context and target feature mapping.

description: Background Alexithymia was found to be associated with a variety of somatic complaints, including somatoform pain symptoms. This study addressed the question of whether the different facets of alexithymia are related to responses in heat pain stimulation and its interrelations with levels of everyday pain as assessed by self-report. Methods In the study, sensitivity to heat pain was assessed in 50 healthy female participants. Alexithymia facets were assessed by the Toronto Alexithymia Scale. Pain threshold and tolerance were determined using a testing the limits procedure. Participants, furthermore, rated subjective intensities and unpleasantness of tonic heat stimuli (45.5–47.5°C) on visual analog scales and on a questionnaire. Possible confounding with temperature sensitivity and mood was controlled. Everyday pain was assessed by self-report addressing everyday pain frequency, intensity, and impairment experienced over the last 2 months. Results Main results were that the facets of alexithymia were differentially associated with pain perception. The affective scale “difficulties in describing feelings” was associated with hyposensitivity to pain as indicated by higher pain tolerance scores. Furthermore, everyday pain frequency was related to increased alexithymia values on the affective scale “difficulties in identifying feelings,” whereas higher values on the cognitive alexithymia scale “externally oriented thinking” were related to lower pain impairment and intensity. Conclusion We conclude that the different facets of alexithymia are related to alternations in pain processing. Further research on clinical samples is necessary to elucidate whether different aspects of alexithymia act as a vulnerability factor for the development of pain symptoms.

description: Seit ihren Anfängen als Europäische Gemeinschaft für Kohle und Stahl (EGKS) mit den sechs Gründungsstaaten Deutschland, Frankreich, Belgien, Italien, Luxemburg und Niederlande hat sich die heutige Europäische Union immer entwickelt, und immer neue Mitgliedsstaaten zugelassen. Auch frühere Erweiterungen, im speziellen die Süderweiterung der 1980er Jahre, waren nicht unumstritten und gingen mit einigen Ängsten einher. Die im deutschen Sprachraum sogenannte „Osterweiterung“ 2004 stellt dennoch ein besonderes Ereignis in der Geschichte der Europäischen Union dar, und das in mehrerer Hinsicht: nie zuvor wurden so viele Länder auf einmal aufgenommen, und des zweiten machte die Tatsache, dass acht der zehn neuen Mitglieder die letzten Jahrzehnte unter dem Einfluss des kommunistischen Sowjet-Regimes standen, die „Wiedervereinigung Europas“ zu einem historischen Meilenstein.

Greyscale analysis of retina scans

Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: This study explores the analysis of retina images at the greyscale level, in particular the discovery of a novel clinical marker to describe retinal complexity based on the Fourier fractal dimension (FFD). This work demonstrates that using the box-counting technique on vessel segmentation to summarize retinal complexity can be unreliable, due to the presence of imaging artefacts such as shadow occlusion and imbalanced illumination. The newly developed fractal methodology has been applied successfully and found to be associated with different physiological factors and conditions. The FFD feature has also been demonstrated in a population study to be able to predict stroke incidence 10 years before the actual event. This is an important finding because the current technique is only able to describe the difference between stroke subtypes, but gives no evidence in the prospective data. This research work also shows that vessel segmentation causes imprecision in vessel diameter measurements. To compensate for the segmentation error, a new methodology has been proposed at the greyscale level. The validity of the diameter measurement is confirmed by the observation of cardiac trends in the vessel calibre. The results not only show significant diameter change across the cardiac cycle, but also indicate a specific trend for the arteriole and venule.

Fostering consumer trust and purchase intention in B2C e-commerce
Creators: name: Pittayachawan, Siddhi
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: Regardless of the popularity of B2C e-commerce, trust is a main barrier impeding success of online shopping. In fact, a lack of trust discourages consumers from making purchases over the Internet. Previous research was set out to address this issue; however, the findings were benefited by academia rather than by e-vendors, and this becomes the gap in this topic. This research was aimed to develop guideline to foster consumer trust and purchase intention to shop online for e-vendors. It was achieved by using mixed methods: quantitative and qualitative studies. In the quantitative study, an online survey was created as an instrument for capturing attitude of consumers related to trust in B2C e-commerce in a global scale. The survey data was then collated and analysed with structural equation modelling (SEM). The findings from the quantitative study were subsequently confirmed with the qualitative study, which was accomplished by conducting focus group analysis. Interpretive analysis was used to analyse the data captured from the focus groups. Also, new findings were identified in this study to further enhance consumer trust. By comparing the findings from both quantitative and qualitative studies, contribution of this research is to enable e-vendors to foster trust in B2C e-commerce based on three aspects: e-vendor's elements, affiliating parties and e-vendor's record. For e-vendor's elements, this research identifies that privacy should be provided to consumers; secure transactions, secure servers and sophisticated authentication systems should be supported; e-commerce websites should be well-designed; consumers' request should be honoured; privacy statements, trusted seals and return policies should be made available on e-commerce websites; online communities should be incorporated; proof of real business should be easily identified; and, e-vendors should establish good communication with their potential customers. For affiliating parties, this research finds that e-vendors should associate with financial intermediaries and trusted third parties to further gain trust from consumers. Finally, for e-vendor's record, this researc h reveals that e-vendors should maintain good relationships with their customers in order to build good business records that potentially encourage more consumers to make purchases with them. In addition, the contribution to the body of knowledge from this research is a new direction of how to address trust issues in B2C e-commerce, which can be further explored in the future.

description: Event log data reflects the behavior of business processes that are mapped in organizational information systems. Predictive process monitoring (PPM) transforms this data into value; it creates process-related predictions to provide insights required for proactive interventions at process runtime. Existing PPM techniques require sufficient amounts of event data or other relevant resources that might not be readily available, preventing some organizations from taking advantage of PPM. In this paper, we present a transfer-learning-based technique for PM, allowing organizations without suitable data or other relevant resources to implement PPM for effective decision support. We instantiate our artifact, and apply and evaluate it on a real-life use case. The use case includes two event logs for purchase-to-pay processes of two organizations. Our results provide evidence that knowledge of a process of one organization can be transferred to a similar process of another organization to enable PPM in the target organization.

description: Background: In hospitals, despite the existence of hospital information systems, a high amount of valuable patient information is documented in full text only. From a data mining point of view, it cannot be exploited until it is transformed into standardized, machine-readable, structured information.[for full text, please go to the a.m. URL]

description: El artículo aborda la relación entre la verdad y el derecho desde una interpretación filosófico-jurídica. Parte de una estructura basada en la conferencia que Michel Foucault dictó en la Universidad Católica de Río de Janeiro en mayo de 1973, titulada como “La verdad y las formas jurídicas”. En seguida, describe la verdad como una cuestión política, al menos dentro de las agendas de democratización de los Estado luego de las feroces dictaduras militares y gobiernos totalitarios o despóticos. Finalmente, la relación de todos estos elementos es contrastada con los informes Rettig y Valech dentro de esta nueva era política de la sociedad chilena.
title: Isolating and Predicting Risks in Architectural Design
Creators: name: Leigh, Andrew Philip
Publisher: name: The Open University

description: Failure to manage risks often causes budget and schedule problems in software projects. Software architectures are difficult to change at later stages and determine software quality attributes such as maintainability. Error-proneness and change propagation risks occur in software that is difficult to maintain. If risks can be isolated into architecture subsets called risk containers, practitioners could prioritise mitigations towards the riskiest containers to increase the chances of project success. Some existing software architecture analysis techniques attribute maintainability risks to architecture subsets, but previous research fails to consider which kinds of architecture subsets are risk isolating (risk inducing architecture elements are not shared with other containers). Furthermore, the architecture description standard does not include guidance for describing risks. This thesis addresses those knowledge gaps. Three types of risk container are extracted from the architectural designs of four software projects and metrics are used to determine which container type is the most risk isolating. Design Rule Containers are the most effective container type because they have very strong and significant correlations between design metrics and implementation change propagation, moderate or stronger correlations between design metrics and implementation error-proneness, but crucially they overlap less than Resource and Use Case Containers which means they are more risk isolating. An experiment demonstrates that participants were able to locate more error-inducing architecture flaws using smaller container diagrams, than when using a larger overall diagram. An architecture risk model based on the international standards for architecture description and risk management is synthesised from the output architecture analysis techniques, including risk containers, so that the isolated risks can be communicated. Surveyed practitioners consider the model to be more applicable to waterfall software development than agile and prefer the model to textual risk descriptions due to the fidelity, rigour, and traceability supported by the model.
Substantiating displacement
Creators: name: Hendrickx, Arnaud
Publisher: name: RMIT University

description: The Phd by project ‘Substantiating displacement’ looks at a generic topic through a specific lens: it looks at architecture’s potential to trigger physical en mental (inter)action through the lens of my personal spatial artistic practice. This practice is situated on four levels (architecture, art, education and research) and was gradually transformed by engaging with architecture in three different environments (educational, professional, academic).

The environment that was set-up to grind this lens is the OPAK research project ‘Art as Vacancy’. This environment opened up a space for the creation new works in trans-disciplinary collaborations with different artists selected for their specific and often complementary approach towards architectural topics. In that sense a reflection on my architectural practice was triggered by consciously displacing this practice into the overlapping field of architecture and art.

As such ‘Substantiating displacement’ can best be described as an evidence based case study that aims at revealing and questioning the frameworks I work with(in), by actively engaging with mediators (a.o. art & artists) in the design and creation of new work, in order to explore the transitional space between subject and object. It presents evidence that suggests different models of how a spatial artistic practice bridges the object subject gap, a method to reveal and question the conceptual frameworks a creative practitioner works with/in and the potential of engaging with mediators in the creative practice.

description: Although the beginning of research on automotive radar sensors goes back to the 1960s, automotive radar has remained one of the main drivers of innovation in millimeter wave technology over the past two decades. Today, millions of sensors are produced each year, which was made possible by inexpensive and mature millimeter wave technology. The technology maturity, in turn, enables research to be carried out on systems that are considerably more complex and powerful than was possible just a few years ago. The focus of research has thus shifted from purely hardware-oriented and device-level topics to sophisticated millimeter wave systems and RF signal processing topics. This opens up new research topics such as digital modulation schemes, radar networks, radar imaging, and machine learning. In this review paper, we sketch the path from the very beginning through the state of the art with sophisticated multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna arrays and mature assembly and interconnect concepts to today’s key research topics of automotive radar.

description: We provide physically intuitive mechanisms for the effect of noise on excitation energy transfer (EET) in networks. Using these mechanisms of dephasing-assisted transport (DAT) in a hybrid basis of both excitons and sites, we develop a detailed picture of how noise enables energy transfer with efficiencies well above 90% across the Fenna–Matthew–Olson (FMO) complex, a type of light-harvesting molecule. We demonstrate explicitly how noise alters the pathways of energy transfer across the complex, suppressing ineffective pathways and facilitating direct ones to the reaction centre. We explain that the fundamental mechanisms underpinning DAT are expected to be robust with respect to the considered noise model but show that the specific details of the exciton–phonon coupling, which remain largely unknown in these type of complexes, and in particular the impact of non-Markovian effects, result in variations of dynamical features that should be amenable to experimental verification with current or planned technology. A detailed understanding of DAT in natural compounds could open up a new paradigm of ‘noise-engineering’ by which EET can be optimized in artificial light-harvesting structures. © In Copyright http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/
