description: The East and South China Sea Large Marine Ecosystems (LMEs) contain globally significant biodiversity and habitats. These two LMEs border some of the world’s most populous countries, among which are major fishing nations such as China, South Korea, Japan, Thailand, and Vietnam. Fisheries thus play a prominent economic, food security, social, cultural, and livelihood role in East (ECS) and South China Sea (SCS) countries. However, ECS and SCS fisheries have experienced decades of decline, and their future sustainability is undermined by weak and/or ineffective fisheries management and governance, uncontrolled coastal development, and climate change, among other global, regional, and local scale human and environmental pressures. There is clearly an urgent need to improve marine resource management in the East and South China Sea LMEs. This report is intended to support the call for action to rebuild and protect the LMEs’ marine resources. To do so, our research objectives are: 1) Provide a baseline assessment of the present status of East China Sea fisheries at the LME level; 2) Assess the potential impact of future management and climate change on ECS fisheries and marine ecosystems. The report is split into 4 chapters: Chapter 1 sets the stage by introducing the Large Marine Ecosystems (LMEs) of Asia, and in particular provides indicators on fisheries productivity, trade, fishing capacity and management performance for the East and South China Seas. In Chapter 2, ‘Taking Stock’, we document the current economic and social contribution of fisheries to national economies of the East China Sea1 at the LME scale, and review the present status of ECS fisheries governance. Chapter 3, ‘Global Change’, undertakes ecosystem modelling to assess the potential ecological and economic outcomes of fisheries in both the ECS and SCS under different future scenarios of management and climate change. Chapter 4 investigates the pressing regional issue of biomass fishing by comparing economic returns to the fishery from exploiting juvenile fish versus waiting for the fish to mature. Collectively, the analyses in this report fill a present research gap by providing a comprehensive picture of the substantial socio-economic contributions of ECS fisheries at the LME scale, and showing the potential fisheries and ecosystem trade-offs under future management and climate change scenarios. By doing so, this report helps to inform fisheries policy by highlighting the costs and benefits to ECS society and ecosystems if steps are not taken to improve the current state of national and regional fisheries governance.

Migrant activism in Australia: the case of the Italian Federation of Migrant Workers and their Families (FILEF)
Creators: name: Marin, Luca
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This dissertation examines the trajectory of the Australian chapter of the migrant-run organisation FILEF (Italian Federation of Migrant Workers and their Families), a left-leaning agency, and its impact on local politics and society, since its foundation in Australia in 1972. By employing previously unknown archival material and oral histories, this study maintains that FILEF's long-standing tenet that is its attention on providing a voice and a hand to Italian communities around the world was constantly held over the years. Furthermore, it addresses the characteristics of new and more recent waves of Italian migrants and their quest to integrate into the pre-existing Italian community in Australia and in more general terms into Australian society.

description: Radio astronomical measurements of extended emission require knowledge of the beam shape and response because the measurements need correction for quantities such as beam efficiency and beamwidth. We describe a scheme that characterizes the main beam and sidelobe in all Stokes parameters employing parameters that allow reconstruction of the complete beam patterns and, also, afford an easy way to see how the beam changes with azimuth, zenith angle, and time. For the main beam in Stokes I, the parameters include the beamwidth, ellipticity and its orientation, coma and its orientation, the point-source gain, and the integrated gain (or, equivalently, the main-beam efficiency); for the other Stokes parameters, the beam parameters include beam squint and beam squash. For the first sidelobe ring in Stokes I, the parameters include an eight-term Fourier series describing the height, radius, and radial width; for the other Stokes parameters they include only the sidelobe's fractional polarization. We illustrate the technique by applying it to the Arecibo telescope. The main-beam width is smaller and the sidelobe levels higher than for a uniformly illuminated aperture of the same effective area. These effects are modeled modestly well by a blocked aperture, with the blocked area equal to about 10% of the effective area (this corresponds to 5% physical blockage). In polarized emission, the effects of beam squint (difference in pointing direction between orthogonal polarizations) and squash (difference in beamwidth between orthogonal polarizations) do not correspond to theoretical expectation and are higher than expected; these effects are almost certainly caused by the blockage. The first sidelobe is highly polarized because of blockage. These polarization effects lead to severe contamination of maps of polarized emission by spatial derivatives in brightness temperature.

description: Geopolymer concrete has emerged as an innovative construction material, which utilises industrial byproducts such as rice husk ash, fly ash, ultrafine slag, corn cob ash and copper slag as supplementary cementitious materials to replace the Portland pozzolona cement in concrete. Geopolymers are produced by activating aluminosilicate-based materials with alkaline activator liquid. This study focuses on the utilisation of such mineral admixtures. Naphthalene-based and polycarboxylate ether superplasticisers were used as chemical admixtures. GPCs were developed using RHA, UFS and FA. It can be concluded that an ecofriendly GPC with satisfactory performance and durability can be produced using these byproducts.
The Impact of Immigration on the Health and Wellbeing of Iranian Immigrant Women: Voices from Ottawa/Gatineau
Creators: name: Khatibsemnani, Nasim
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2014

description: This thesis focuses on the experiences of twelve migrant women from Iran residing in the Ottawa/Gatineau area to examine the impact of immigration on their health and wellbeing. The study also aims to explore an understanding of health/wellbeing as situated in, and contextualized by, women’s lived experiences, as well as to investigate the determinants that impact on participants’ wellbeing. Semi-structured and in-depth interviews were conducted and an intersectional approach with an anti-oppression lens was employed. The results reveal that the majority of women were in good health before migration, which supports the healthy immigrant effect. One significant finding was that eight women reported that their health/wellbeing had remained stable or even improved after immigration. However, four participants experienced health deterioration that resulted in permanent disability for one of them. The results illustrate that the health/wellbeing of respondents was shaped by a complex web of intertwined determinants beyond individual health behaviours.

description: Contemporary reviews into teacher education have highlighted the important role of the mentor teacher (MT) during professional experience (Caldwell & Sutton, 2010; Craven et al., 2014) While university programs teach theoretical concepts, the role of the MT during professional experience assists preservice teachers (PSTs) to enact theories and knowledge learned at university. The aim of this mixed methods study is to: Explore and describe the interactions and experiences involved with mentoring literacy to PST during professional experience. 751 PSTs self-reported their perspectives about their literacy mentoring experiences on a peer-reviewed survey. Following the analysis of the survey data, one-to-one semi-structured interviews (n=10) were conducted. Recommendations include that MTs from all sectors may require further knowledge about how to mentor the General Capability Literacy.

description: We describe an experiment in which Bose-Einstein condensates and cold atom clouds are held by a microscopic magnetic trap near a room-temperature metal wire 500   μm in diameter. The lifetime for atoms to remain in the microtrap is measured over a range of distances down to 27   μm from the surface of the metal. We observe the loss of atoms from the microtrap due to spin flips. These are induced by radio-frequency thermal fluctuations of the magnetic field near the surface, as predicted but not previously observed.

description: Cell migration is an essential element in the immune response on the one hand and in cancer metastasis on the other hand. The architecture of the actin network in lamellipodia determines the elasticity of the leading edge and contributes to the regulation of migration. We have implemented a new method for the analysis of actin network morphology in the lamellipodia of B16F1 mouse melanoma cells. This method is based on fitting multi-layer geometrical models to electron microscopy images of lamellipodial actin networks. The chosen model and F-actin concentrations are thereby deterministic parameters. Using this approach, we identified distinct structural features of actin networks in lamellipodia. The mesh size which defines the elasticity of the lamellipodium was determined as 34 and 78 nm for a two-layer network at a total actin concentration of 9.6 mg ml−1. These data lead to estimates of the low frequency elastic shear moduli which differ by more than a magnitude between the two layers. These findings indicate an anisotropic shear modulus of the lamellipodium with the stiffer layer being the dominant structure against deformations in the lamellipodial plane and the softer layer contributing significantly at lower indentations perpendicular to the lamellipodial plane. This combination creates a material that is optimal for pushing forward as well as squeezing through narrow spaces.

Isolating cues to sex and quantifying their relative influence on perception during binocular rivalry
Creators: name: Hacker, Graeme
Publisher: name: Southern Cross University

Subjects: Binocular rivalry
Point light walker

description: It is generally understood that visual perception relies on complex combinations of both low-level processes involved in physical feature detection, as well as high-level cognitions informed by our prior experiences with the environment. There is a visual phenomenon which occurs when two different images are simultaneously presented to each eye separately. Rather than the observer perceiving the two images superimposed, the brain focuses on one of the images for a few seconds before alternating to the other. After a few more seconds the perceived image alternates again. This is referred to as Binocular Rivalry. A debate in the binocular rivalry literature is whether these alternations are governed by low-level or high-level cognitions. To explore this question, I used Point Light Walker (PLW) stimuli. These are images made up of 15 dot points which represent the head, shoulders, pelvis, major body joints, and extremities of a human figure. Evidence that these images activate high-level processing areas of the brain which identify biological motion and sex identification is important. They are only made from low-level cues (dot points) combined with structural information and biological motion. I explored these individual cues using a binocular rivalry paradigm to assess which features would influence the reported alternation patterns. Total durations were recorded by participants indicating which of the two images was exclusively visible at any given moment. I employed PLWs from a continuum previously described as varying on stereotypical male and female features. I found that ‘male’ PLWs predominated for longer average durations than ‘female’ or neutral PLWs (experiment 1), stepwise reduction of ‘maleness’ reduced the size of the bias in a step-wise manner (experiment 2), larger ‘male’ PLWs predominated for longer than the smaller ‘male’ PLW (experiment 3), and there were no significant differences in predominance durations between the ‘female’ PLW subtypes (experiment 4). The structural and kinematic cues of the ‘male’ PLW appeared to moderate the bias (experiment 5) and inverting the PLWs did not reduce the bias as would be expected if top-down processes were causing the effect (experiment 6). Finally, significant differences were observed between the low-level features of the ‘male’ and ‘female’ PLWs which corresponded with the findings from experiments 1, 3, and 4 (experiment 7). Considered together, I determined that the binocular rivalry alternations in these experiments, were driven by both low-level and high-level features of the PLW stimuli. A summary outlining the influence of each of the PLW features, on the average rivalry durations, is offered in the conclusion.

description: Background: The purpose of this phenomenological study is to explore the existing research on the determinants and influential factors of eating decisions made by Aboriginal peoples and provide insight from the perspective of Aboriginal peoples living off-reserve in Ottawa, Ontario. Methods: This study was comprised of a convenience sample of 12 Aboriginal individuals from a local Aboriginal community centre. Participants were asked to conduct a personal food diary of their meals for a period of 3 days, followed by a one-on-one semi-structured interview. The interviews were designed to explore: 1) knowledge and perspectives of healthy eating 2) knowledge and perspectives of Health Canada’s Eating Well with Canada’s Food Guide – First Nations, Inuit and Métis, 3) perception of influential factors 4) self-efficacy and 5) common barriers in making food choices. Results: 1) Except for the senior participants, healthy food knowledge did not translate into healthy food choices for most participants; 2) Most participants had not seen a copy of the Eating Well with Canada’s Food Guide – First Nations, Inuit and Métis, and all participants felt they were not influenced by it when making eating decisions; 3) The main themes of influential factors were concluded to be: taste preference, availability, convenience, “had no choice”, health reasons, “easy to make”, low in cost, following a diet or “food schedule,” hunger or thirst, “needed something quick”, nearby location (of store or restaurant), being tired or lazy and being in a routine; 4) Most participants perceived themselves as having control over their eating decisions regardless of situational factors and level of motivation varied between participants; 5) Time, financial constraints, having a busy schedule and being unprepared for meals were identified as possible barriers. Conclusions: Either version of the food guide should be developed into a more flexible and convenient tool such as a mobile application. Local community centres should consider providing workshops in food preparation, and to strengthen skills such as understanding food labels of market foods to ease the transition to living off-reserve. Future Implications: Policy makers at the federal, provincial and municipal levels should work together and strengthen their communication strategies in order to coordinate the development and implementation of future interventions.
DEEP: A qualitative study of the leisure constraints, negotiation and benefits experienced by adventurous baby boomer women who scuba dive

description: Participation in recreational scuba diving activities continues to grow around the world. In Australia, older women are signing on for dive training in unprecedented numbers. The largest diver training agency, the Professional Association of Diving Instructors (PADI), reveals that more baby boomer women (born 1946 to 1966) are learning to dive. As a boomer woman who dives, I am curious about the paucity of academic interest in leisure studies literature into older women divers. The current study aims to provide a novel view of the active lives of 32 Australian women by exploring what it means to be an older woman who dives.
description: Qualitative methods employing semi-structured, in-depth interviews were utilised to understand the role diving plays in active ageing for older women divers (OWDs). Adopting a narrative inquiry in an interpretive paradigm allowed the researcher to examine the divers’ recollections of constraints and experiences. OWDs’ narratives portrayed them as confident, capable, curious and motivated – all aspects of successful active ageing. New categories of leisure constraints emerged from the data pertaining to physical and environmental influences, contributing to knowledge of leisure constraints, active ageing and women’s leisure studies.
description: The findings revealed that many participants were constrained by pain, equipment, and lack of time and money. Most constraints were negotiated by employing three overarching strategies: planning, prioritising and persisting, enabling continued diving. Successful negotiation provided access to benefits including fitness, connection, stress reduction, confidence and learning, presenting diving as an enjoyable activity that contributes to active ageing. Data supported women’s leisure constraints studies, and a conceptual model demonstrating these findings and their interrelationships emerged. The Constraints Negotiation Benefits model contributes to the active ageing and leisure literature. The originality of the research is present in the methodology and the cohort under investigation. Authors have undertaken qualitative studies of women in outdoor adventure activities, but this is the first doctoral study into adventurous older women who dive. Implications for leisure practitioners and assumptions of older aquatic women’s capabilities are considered.

This study analyses the accuracy of a measurement set-up for radiation pattern (RP), directivity and gain measurements. The main sources of uncertainty are pointed out and the overall achievable accuracy is determined. The expanded uncertainty budgets for RP, directivity and gain measurements are 0.2, 0.2 and 1.7 dB, respectively. Furthermore, the phase centre of the antenna under test (AUT) is calculated for a more accurate and faster antenna alignment. The standard deviation of the calculated phase centre position is 50 μm on each axis.

ReTurning Learning: exploring childhoodnature through posthumanism
Creators: name: Blom, Simone
Publisher: name: Southern Cross University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Education
Posthuman
Transqualitative
Childhoodnature
Environmental education

description: This PhD research aimed to explore early school years teachers’ perceptions of nature and how this informs pedagogy through a posthuman theoretical framework that is informed by, and an entanglement of, three theories: Barad’s (2007) concept of material-discursive practices, a concept borrowed from geography of affective atmospheres and, childhoodnature. In addition, the thinking in this thesis was guided by an ethico-onto-epistemology, a theoretical offering from Barad (2007) which espouses that practices of knowing and being cannot be isolated as they are mutually implicated. Moreover, this theoretical entanglement purposefully disrupts dichotomies and rejects abuse to marginalised others such as children, First Nations peoples, and nonhuman nature. Such disruptions challenge traditional ways of knowing and being where ageist practices may be unintentionally and discretely perpetuated. This may offer opportunities for the reconceptualisation of learning in environmental education and education more broadly.
description: To explore these aims, this research adopted a diffractive ethnographic approach which is situated within a transqualitative inquiry: an emergent research methodology that has emerged from this PhD research. Transqualitative inquiry extends beyond traditional qualitative research that is human-centric, to enable posthuman thinking and non-traditional diffractive ethnographic methods to be practised. The entanglement of data collection and analysis as diffractive data entanglements troubles the perceived distinctions between the two actions. Drawing on ethnographic methods, the study utilised the posthuman concept of diffraction to situate the research in theory.
description: The findings indicate that the way teachers perceive nature does not always inform their pedagogy. Teachers’ relationships ‘with’ nature were demonstrated to exist in myriad ways, from perceptions of nature (denoting separatist thinking), to perceptions as nature (denoting posthuman thinking). However, these perceptions did not translate clearly into practice, but rather demonstrated a complex entanglement of ideas that at times aligned with, but were not explicitly informed by, the Australian Sustainability Cross-Curriculum Priority (Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority [ACARA], 2015b). Through a deep exploration into the intricacies of everyday classroom practices and happenings, this thesis adopts posthuman thinking grounded in quantum theorising to privilege the voice of the teachers and the nonhuman, thus emphasising the importance and significance of micro-enactments that are all, in turn, contributing to the equally grand macro-narrative of the global situation to invite change in environmental education and beyond. In doing so, the response-ability of teachers to their students and the planet, is re-turned.
Multidimensional wavelets and applications.

Subjects: subject: Mathematics.

description: In this thesis, one- as well as multi-dimensional biorthogonal wavelet filters are designed and used for the construction of compactly supported wavelet bases. In particular, an adaptation of the McClellan transformation is used to design nonseparable 2-D biorthogonal wavelet bases. Some examples of 2-D biorthogonal wavelet filters are given in the case of the quincunx sampling lattice. Some theoretical and technical results known in the one-dimensional case have been generalized to the n-dimensional case. This generalization leads to a better understanding of the theory and design of multidimensional biorthogonal wavelets. An important part of the thesis devoted to the design of fast discrete wavelet transforms. The main ingredient of the algorithms is the use of a one-point quadrature formula for approximating the nest coefficients of the signals together with a suitable design and implementation of symmetric biorthogonal filters. Special attention is given to the case where the signals have sharp transition points. In this case, a smoothing process has been used to obtain an accurate reconstruction of the signal.

Instrumentation for high spatial resolution of steady state visual evoked potentials
Creators: name: Simpson, David Gordon Giles
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This thesis reports on several new and innovative instrumentation developments to solve some of the problems of brain activity monitoring, particularly SSVEP (Steady State Visual Evoked Potentials) studies. SSVEP systems generate suitable stimuli and record the resulting brain biopotentials from scalp electrodes. The instrumentation is configured as a 'Neuropsychiatric Workstation', supporting up to 136 scalp electrodes. Operating in the SSVEP mode, the Neuropsychiatric Workstation reported here significantly improves upon the previously reported spatial resolution and accuracy of maps related to the generated stimuli. These maps allows insights to be gained into the cognitive workings of the brain. A significant component of the work reported here covers the development of the multielectrode EEG measurement modules and the associated techniques for minimising interference and cross-talk. The techniques for synchronising recordings from all electrodes with the stimulus, interfacing to a host computer and real-time storage of the very large amounts of data generated to hard disk, are all reported. The SSVEP paradigm uses a sinusoidal-modulated visual stimuli. A novel linearised LED (light emitting diode) head-up display was developed, in addition to more conventional stimuli, such as the alternating checker-board display, all with sinusoidal modulation capability over a range of frequencies. The Neuropsychiatric Workstation described in thesis has been replicated several times and is in regular use at Brain Sciences Institute (BSI) at Swinburne University of Technology, and other collaborative research institutes.

L'expérience vécue d'un couple ayant un enfant atteint d'un trouble envahissant du développement : une étude de phénoménologique.
Creators: name: Grenier, Stéphanie.

Subjects: subject: Psychology, Social.

description: Cette etude d'orientation qualitative tente de comprendre l'experience vecue d'un couple ayant un enfant atteint d'un trouble envahissant du developpement (T.E.D.). Un couple marie depuis 23 ans ayant un enfant de 20 ans atteint de ce trouble participe a cette recherche ou l'approche phenomenologique est preconisee. Plus precisement, nous utilisons la methode d'analyse en quatre etapes de Giorgi pour arriver a l'essence de cette experience vecue. Nous faisons l'analyse systematique de l'experience subjective decrite par le couple jusqu'a l'obtention de la structure relative. Comme entree en matiere, nous presentons une revue de la litterature au sujet du trouble envahissant du developpement et des etudes empiriques au sujet des effets de ce trouble et de divers handicaps sur les parents et les couples. Ensuite, nous expliquons l'approche phenomenologique ainsi que ses particularites et nous retracons le parcours scientifique de cette these, c'est-a-dire la methodologie de recherche ou nous presentons la demarche effectuee pour arriver a la structure relative de l'experience. Par la suite nous presentons les resultats. Nous remarquons que l'experience est vecue a trois moments: (1) avant la naissance de l'enfant; (2) pendant qu'une distance s'installe dans le couple et (3) apres avoir pris la decision de reconstruire la relation et d'atteindre un etat d'equilibre. Nous trouvons egalement une structure relative pour chaque membre du couple et une pour le couple lui-meme. Ces dernieres permettent de comprendre l'experience vecue du couple selon trois perspectives. Des themes psychologiques qui caracterisent l'experience particuliere de ce couple emergent et sont presentes en synthese par des figures. Finalement, une discussion des resultats est faite en lien avec la litterature concernant l'experience conjugale d'avoir un enfant atteint de ce trouble et d'autres handicaps (mental ou physique). L'etude contribue a la comprehension de l'experience vecue du couple dans son ensemble.
