Thesis with publications.

This thesis investigates barriers to the assessment of persistent pain in chronic lower limb wounds. A review of the relevant literature indicated that persistent woundrelated pain is either not managed or is under-treated by health care practitioners. Furthermore, no specific wound-related pain assessment tool exists to monitor this client cohort. Consequently a mixed methods study using an explanatory sequential design was conducted in three phases to explore contemporary practice in the assessment and management of wound-related pain based on the experiences of both clinicians and patients. The three phases were as follows: (i) a survey of health care practitionersto determine how and when wound-related pain is assessed, (ii) four focus groups of health care practitioners were conducted to explore their perceptions of the issues related to what influences the assessment and management of pain in chronic wounds and (iii) a survey of people with chronic lower limb wounds, to describe the psychosocial disturbances and the function of disability of patients with wound-related pain. The results showed inconsistency in the assessment of wound-related pain between health care practitioners. The perceived barriers to the assessment and management of wound pain were associated with institutional protocols and health care practitioners’ knowledge, beliefs and attitudes. People with chronic lower limb wounds employed negative coping strategies and attitudes towards their wound pain which was negatively associated with satisfaction with their wound treatment. This thesis supports the overarching problem of the lack of understanding by health care practitioners and clients of the importance of the management of persistent wound-related pain. Health care practitioners consistently reported that an increased emphasis should be given to this debilitating condition. There is an urgent need for the development of valid assessment tools and evidenced-based management strategies to address this serious defect in wound management practice.

Investigation of Neutrophils’ Role During Influenza A Virus Infection
Creators: name: Liu, Chuanxin
Publisher: name: La Trobe
Year: 2023

description: Submission note: A thesis submitted in total fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy to the Department of Biochemistry and Genetics, School of Molecular Science, College of Science, Health and Engineering, La Trobe University, Victoria, Australia.

Influenza A virus (IAV) infection is highly contagious and can cause severe respiratory disease with significant morbidity and mortality. Neutrophils are rapidly deployed innate immune cells serving as an important immune barrier and bridging innate and adaptive immunity. Although a causal relationship exists between excessive neutrophil recruitment and IAV-induced lung injury, little is known about influenza lethality-associated neutrophil effector proteins following IAV infection. Here we first used semi-quantitative proteomics to map comparative changes in the proteomes of bone marrow, blood and lung neutrophils at homeostasis and following a lethal IAV infection. Type I interferon (IFN)-induced proteins are already elevated in the bone marrow neutrophils and further upregulated during migration to the infection site following IAV infection in C57BL/6J (B6) mice. Further, the absence of type I IFN signalling in Ifnar1 deficient mice impairs upregulation of these proteins and induces a significant increase in the number of lung infiltrating neutrophils compared with those in B6 WT mice following IAV infection. Interestingly, the excessive neutrophilia is suppressed by merely preserving type I IFN-responding lung alveolar macrophages in a thoracic shielding chimera model, indicative of the necessity of type I IFNs in regulating neutrophil recruitment. As neutrophils upregulate MHC molecules and express IAV proteins during IAV infection, their potential in antigen presentation is subsequently assessed. In agreement with previous studies, neutrophils are able to activate CD8+ T cells in an MHC I- and TAP-dependent manner. In addition, neutrophils can present antigens to CD4+ T cells at a low but reproducible level in vitro and ex vivo. Further investigation is required to clarify the impact of in vivo MHC II-dependent antigen presentation by neutrophils on the overall cellular and humoral immunity to IAV. Altogether, neutrophils appear to play a diverse and prominent role in shaping up both innate and adaptive immunity than previously anticipated.

Gene targeting of the NKX2.1 locus facilitates the isolation of human forebrain progenitors from differentiating human embryonic stem cells
Creators: name: Goulburn, Adam Lander
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Key to the normal development of the vertebrate forebrain is the emergence of distinct progenitor zones that generate precursors to neural cell types that will eventually migrate to throughout the forebrain, establishing neural communication networks. Perhaps the most dynamic of these progenitor zones are those located at the ventral basal region of the telencephalon; a region that contains the ganglionic eminences. Within these, the medial ganglionic eminence (MGE) is the primary source of inhibitory GABAergic interneurons. Crucial to the development of the MGE is the expression of the homeobox transcription factor Nkx2.1, which functions initially in early ventral specification of the forebrain and is later involved in precursor migration as well as controlling GABAergic interneuron subtype differentiation. In order to generate a platform for investigating human forebrain development, we have used homologous recombination in hESCs to insert sequences encoding GFP into the NKX2.1 locus. GFP expression was demonstrated to faithfully report NKX2.1 expression, enabling the prospective isolation of human NKX2.1+ basal forebrain progenitors. Experiments with NKX2.1GFP/w hESCs demonstrated that the generation of NKX2.1-GFP+ cells was dependent on the concentration, timing and duration of retinoic acid treatment during differentiation. Gene expression studies and extended differentiation experiments performed with isolated NKX2.1-GFP+ cells indicated a multipotent nature of this precursor population.
Preventable Causes of Neonatal Mortality and Associated Factors Among Neonates Admitted to Neonatal Intensive Care Units of Addis Ababa Governmental Hospitals From 2011-2015 Gc: A Retrospective Study
Creators: name: Chewaka, Lalisa

description: Background: Ethiopia witnessed an unprecedented decline in under-5 mortality from 166 per 1000 in 2000 to 88 per 1000 live births in 2011; an average decline of 47%. But still today, approximately 42% of mortality in Ethiopia attributes to high neonatal deaths; which needs further action like implementing SDG. Objective: To assess preventable causes and factors associated with neonatal mortality among neonates admitted to NICUs of Addis Ababa Governmental Hospitals from 2011-15GC. Methods and materials: Facility based retrospective study was conducted at NICUs of public hospitals in Addis Ababa using secondary data of neonatal mortality among neonates admitted in Neonatal Intensive Care Units from 2011-2015 GC. The sampling has two stages and the overall design effect of 1.5 was considered. Data was collected using the data extraction checklist after conducting pre-test. Then the collected data was coded and entered in to Epi data of version 3.1 and exported to SPSS for windows version 21.0 for cleaning, editing, and analysis. Binary and multiple logistic regressions have been used to observe the association between independent variables and dependent variable. Result: The study included 561 neonates died after admission to NICUs in Addis Ababa Governmental Hospitals and data was collected for different variables of interest like obstetrics and gynecologic related, medical problems on admission including time of death to find significant association with neonatal mortality. The likely of dying from sepsis(recorded cause of death) within 7-28 days was 1.8 times more likely as compared to likely of dying within first week of life (AOR=1.81, 95% CI: 1.119-2.934, P=0.016). In the same way, The likely of dying from hypothermia within 7-28 days was 1.68 times more likely as compared to likely of dying within first week of life (AOR=1.68, 95%, CI: 1.054-2.67, p=0.029) Conclusion and Recommendation: In general, the study has found significant association of neonatal mortality with hypothermia and sepsis which are both potentially preventable. The concerned bodies are then recommended to focus on general respective preventive mechanisms. Key words: Neonatal Mortality, Perinatal Mortality, Causes of Death in NICUs.

description: The ability of a honeybee swarm to select the best nest site plays a fundamental role in determining the future colony's fitness. To date, the nest-site selection process has mostly been modelled and theoretically analysed for the case of binary decisions. However, when the number of alternative nests is larger than two, the decision process dynamics qualitatively change. In this work, we extend previous analyses of a value-sensitive decision-making mechanism to a decision process among N nests. First, we present the decision-making dynamics in the symmetric case of N equal-quality nests. Then, we generalise our findings to a best-of-N decision scenario with one superior nest and N-1 inferior nests, previously studied empirically in bees and ants. Whereas previous binary models highlighted the crucial role of inhibitory stop-signalling, the key parameter in our new analysis is the relative time invested by swarm members in individual discovery and in signalling behaviours. Our new analysis reveals conflicting pressures on this ratio in symmetric and best-of-N decisions, which could be solved through a time-dependent signalling strategy. Additionally, our analysis suggests how ecological factors determining the density of suitable nest sites may have led to selective pressures for an optimal stable signalling ratio.

ʽIsolated Mass Hermitsʼ: Individualization and Communication in the Risk Society
Creators: name: Lombardinilo, Andrea
Publisher: name: Italian Sociological Review
Year: 2022

description: This essay gives an insight into the effects of cosmopolitan individualization that Ulrich Beck investigates in chapter 5 of Risk Society, thus anticipating some of the sociological findings in some of his last books, e.g. A God of One’s Own and The Metamorphosis of the World. To the fore is the relationship between the new ʽcommunication landscapesʼ and the process of fragmentation of daily life fuelled by hyperconnectivity and mainstream narration. Accordingly, technological acceleration led to the construction of biographical paths inspired by a new relational solipsism, so common in the era of globalized risks and cultural obsolescence. The metaphor of ʽisolated mass hermitsʼ gives a better understanding of the tendency to personalize faith and spiritual practices, in line with some unexpected interactional techniques. According to Beck, scholars have the duty to analyse ʽthe subjectivization and individualization of risks and contradictions produced by institutions and societyʼ. In this perspective, communicative risks interlace with value and cultural shortcomings, even though secularization and laicization find their foundation in the historical background of Western societies. This is why Beck’s ʽisolated mass hermitsʼ are the prelude to the diffusion of an “isolated mass audience”, whose social impact can be surveyed through the analysis of institutionalized biographical narrations.

To the human eye, an image of another person contains a wealth of information. The recent emergence of deep neural networks has enabled researchers to train models which imitate “human intuition”, accelerating progress on problems such as human pose estimation and tracking. Computer vision systems for solving human-centric tasks often require locating keypoints from visual cues. Regularised soft-argmax is proposed as a technique which can be applied to any neural network architecture that locates points of interest. This approach was implemented as a part of three different systems for solving distinct human-centric analysis problems. For 2D pose estimation, regularised soft-argmax was found to outperform existing techniques; for 3D pose estimation it was a key contributor to state-of-the-art results; and for action monitoring it outperformed alternatives for subject tracking. An important technological trend is the ever-improving camera quality and storage capacity of commodity handheld devices. This trend makes mobile devices convenient deployment targets for computer vision applications. In a handheld environment it is desirable to employ computational techniques with less demanding resource requirements, since the target device has limited processor speed, memory, and battery capacity. In this regard, regularised softargmax allows for a better trade-off between accuracy and resource usage compared to existing techniques. Empirical results show that a model trained using regularised soft-argmax was able to achieve triple the inference speed and half the memory usage, whilst matching 99 percent of the accuracy of a popular state-ofthe-art 2D pose estimation model. Additionally, a case study is investigated for applying computer vision techniques to the real-world action monitoring problem of athletic diving analysis. This complex vision task involves solving the when, where, and what of human activity in continuous video footage. Using regularised soft-argmax and a novel combination of traditional and deep learning techniques, a solution is presented with compelling practical results.

Exrtaction and Characterization of Essential Oil from Eucalyptus Leaves Using Steam Distillation
Creators: name: Kidane, Meaza
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2016

description: The overall objective of this study was the extraction and characterization of the essential oil from the leaves of Eucalyptus globulus. Eucalyptus globulus of Myrtaceae family was the raw material of the experimental research which was collected from Entoto forest, 15 Km North West (NW) of Adiss Ababa. First, the leaf of Eucalyptus globulus was dried through partial sun drying. Then the dried Eucalyptus leaves were crushed in cross beater mill with sieve size of 10 mm and by cutting mill. The sample was sieved using a set of sieves sizes. Next to this, the experimental work was carried out by steam distillation set up. A general factorial design was employed to the extraction process using DESIGN EXPERT 7.0 software and linear regression model. This design helped to identify individual effects of extraction time, and particle size, as parameter and their interaction in the entire extraction process. In the extraction experiment, the minimum oil yield of 0.05% was obtained after the extraction time of 1 hour with particle size ranges of 12.5-20 mm and maximum oil yield of 1.19 % was obtained at optimum extraction time of 3 hours with particle size ranges of 5-8 mm. This shows that, increasing extraction time (optimum of 3hrs) and decreasing particle size increases yield. Characterization of the oil was also carried out. Accordingly the yield was found with 1.4463 refractive index value, 0.90841 specific gravity, and optical rotation, 6.31 pH, 3.15 mpas dynamic viscosity, 174 boiling, 31.725ml/g iodine value, 14 ml/g saponification value, 19.635 acid value and 1,8 cineol(99%) component were obtained. Finally, the findings of this study will help to indicate the quality of the Eucalyptus oil which is important in the production of high value essential oils.

Studies on the aetiology and evaluation of thyroid disease

description: This thesis is concerned with two broad categories of thyroid related research: the aetiology of autoimmune thyroid disease, and the nuclear basis of thyroid hormone action. Whereas the first is directly related to disease, the research in the second area is intended as a contribution to eventual better understanding of the pathophysiology of thyroid dysfunction, and nonthyroidal illness as it affects thyroid hormone action. The research concerning the aetiology of autoimmune thyroid disease utilized the technique of T lymphocyte migration inhibition testing and was designed to test the hypothesis of suppressor T cell deficiency as a pathogenetic mechanism in autoimmune thyroid disease. Migration of T lymphocytes in the presence or absence of specific antigen was displayed by projection microscopy and measured by planimetry. Inhibition in response to thyroid antigen was found in Graves' disease (GD) and Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) but not in normal individuals. The addition of a low ratio of normal T lymphocytes to the GD or HT T lymphocytes abolished the migration inhibition whereas admixture with other GD or HT lymphocytes did not, suggesting the possibility that a specific T lymphocyte deficit, i.e. in suppressor cell function, was being corrected.
Mechanisms underlying rapid arterial hypoxaemia during apnea in the preterm infant
Creators: name: Sands, Scott Aaron
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Apnea, defined as cessation of breathing, is one of the most common clinical problems in neonatal intensive care, occurring in virtually all preterm infants. Given the brain and growth impairment that accompanies apnea and arterial desaturation (blood oxygen lack), the primary motivation for the studies carried out in this thesis was to explain the strikingly rapid desaturation that develops during cyclic apnea in preterm infants, where oxygen levels are halved in just 6-7 seconds. The first objective was to develop a mathematical model of the preterm infant. Use of this model showed that elevated metabolic oxygen consumption accelerates desaturation throughout apnea. By contrast, each other factor has a specialised impact: low ventilation causes an early onset of desaturation but thereafter has little impact; reduced lung volume, red-blood cell content and cardiac output accelerate desaturation rate in the early phase of arterial desaturation, and finally, only whole body oxygen capacity (blood volume and red-blood cell content) determines the desaturation in the late phase of apnea when desaturation becomes life threatening. Further development of the model to describe non-ideal gas exchange in the forms of diffusion limitation and ventilation-perfusion mismatch, revealed that these factors unexpectedly have little impact on desaturation rate, causing an earlier onset of desaturation but not a faster peak desaturation rate. Finally, in a combined modelling and experimental lamb study, the thesis shows that a first apnea causes venous desaturation that persists into a second apnea; consequently a transient surge in lung-to-blood oxygen transfer during the second apnea rapidly depletes lung oxygen stores and in turn yields rapid desaturation. This finding establishes that severe desaturation inevitably occurs during a sequence of brief apneas and may provide a pathophysiological explanation for the neurocognitive and cardiovascular consequences of breathing disorders that manifest cyclic recurrent apnea.

The 1939 New York World’s Fair : cultural diplomacy in the age of Fascism

description: Fewer than five months before the German invasion of Poland in September 1939, the world was invited to New York City to celebrate the opening of the final international exposition of the interwar period. Touted by Fair organizers as the ‘last best chance for peace,’ the 1939 New York World’s Fair offered foreign governments the opportunity to express alternative, and sometimes competing, world views alongside one another in national pavilions and exhibit halls built on reclaimed wasteland in the outer borough of Queens. While most historians continue to disregard the interwar expositions held within the United States as sites of mere amusement, obfuscation, or commercial exchange, this thesis argues that the 1939 World’s Fair can be best understood in terms of statecraft. It reads this international forum as a site of significant geopolitical negotiation and maintains particular focus on the participation of Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany in order to better understand the role of, and response to, each regime’s self-stylization as global power within the post-Wilsonian order. It also assesses the overtures made to the ethnic Italian and German populations living in the greater New York City area and, in this way, takes something of a composite approach by engaging directly with scholarship from a variety of fields, methodologies, and historical traditions. Proceeding with the understanding of exposition planning, organization, and design as a critical intermediary between official diplomatic efforts and everyday people, this project relies on architectural sketches, blueprints, development plans and budgets, as well as correspondence between designers and state officials as a way to understand the politically-inflected organization of space that shaped the average fairgoer’s interaction with the representation of Fascist Italian and Nazi German interests within the United States. Beyond the official record left by diplomatic and consular officials, this project contributes analysis of previously overlooked primary source material. For example, letters from fairgoers, private photographic collections, and official reports help make sense of the effect national pavilions, exhibits, restaurants and other forms of cultural diplomacy had on local populations and visitors alike. This study relies on the holdings of more than a dozen different archives across five different countries and, like the event it covers, is dedicated to challenging current historical understandings of diplomatic boundaries and cultural borders.
Advancements in Leak Detection Techniques for Onshore and Offshore Pipelines

Year: 2025

description: Pipeline leak detection is a critical aspect of ensuring the safety, environmental sustainability, andoperational efficiency of oil and gas transportation systems. Undetected leaks can result in severeeconomic losses, environmental pollution, and hazardous accidents, particularly in onshore and offshorepipelines. This study provides a comprehensive evaluation of traditional and modern leak detectiontechniques, highlighting their effectiveness, challenges, and potential improvements. Conventionalmethods, such as pressure monitoring and acoustic sensing, are compared with emerging technologies,including artificial intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), and fiber optic sensing, which offerenhanced accuracy and real-time monitoring capabilities. The research also examines the impact ofregulatory frameworks and industry standards on leak detection practices, exploring how policyenforcement influences technology adoption. Additionally, the study identifies future researchopportunities aimed at improving pipeline integrity management. Through an extensive review of existingliterature and case studies, this thesis aims to provide valuable insights for industry professionals,researchers, and policymakers to enhance leak detection systems and mitigate pipeline-related risks.
Future-proofing pastures from an insect sleeper pest

description: Tropical armyworm, Spodoptera litura (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), has caused sporadic damage in Aotearoa New Zealand since its establishment in the 1970s. It is thought to be a ‘sleeper pest’ that is likely to become increasingly important due to predicted changes in climate, particularly increases in temperature. Larval S. litura are known to feed on hundreds of broad-leaf species worldwide but there are large gaps in our understanding of its host preferences in this country, especially with respect to agricultural pasture plants.Plant species such as plantain, chicory, red clover and white clover are anticipated to increase in abundance in pasture swards in response to changes in climate and farming practice. We therefore assessed their suitability as host plants for S. litura by feeding individually caged larvae with known quantities of cut herbage from one of each plant species. Our results showed that larvae can complete development on all these species but food intake, growth and feeding efficiency varied between hosts. This variation can lengthen development time or decrease pupal bodyweight, and in turn affect female egg-laying. Plant host thus has intergenerational and population level implications for S. litura.Our work seeks to identify useful plant species and fitness traits for future forages that are less vulnerable to S. litura, and to understand the potential genetic basis of these traits. Knowledge gained will provide an important basis for decision making around pasture planting under future climate change conditions, and for developing robust future forages.
Tube Housing: An Urban Identity of Saigon-Ho Chi Minh City

description: Submission note: A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy to the School of Humanities and Social Sciences, College of Arts, Social Sciences and Commerce, La Trobe University, Victoria, Australia.

Modern Asian cities have experienced rapid growth that is often jarring for their unique socio-historical characteristics. Saigon-Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) and its basic housing archetype is a prime example of this tension. The city emerged in the seventeenth century, but its most rapid growth occurred after the end of the Vietnam–America War in 1975. HCMC has key elements that form its unique structure, of which tube housing—homes shaped like a tube or a pipe that are longer than they are wide—is the most significant constituent. Tube housing acts as both housing and an urban system used for workplaces, investments and other uses; each purpose shapes the urban form. Nevertheless, this form of housing contrasts with the globalised vision of Saigon-HCMC as a world city, which attracts FDI. This study examines tube housing in detail and in conjunction with the city’s other distinctive components, including transport, population, streets and laneways, and social dimensions of everyday life. Housing affordability and trends are also examined to identify tube housing’s position. Intensive qualitative and quantitative research, interviews, photos, case studies are used to explore and unveil the city’s distinctive structure. This thesis argues that tube housing is a modern development that is lively and adaptive to people’s everyday life in the built form of Saigon-HCMC. In particular, it shows that the crucial period of its development as the dominant form of housing was the last quarter of the twentieth century, when the national government’s priority was rural and regional development and capitalist markets of all forms were repressed. Without large-scale injections of capital by the state or the market, Saigon-HCMC citizens had to build their own housing. This thesis celebrates their achievements by detailing how and why tube housing systems and cultures have become so crucial to the sustainability and liveability of the city. In doing so, it argues against the current government’s anti-tube housing policies.
