description: Graft-Versus-Host Disease (GVHD) is a serious complication following hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), that continues to be the leading cause of non-relapse morbidity and mortality in HSCT patients. Acute GVHD occurs in roughly 40% of HSCT recipients. It is the result of an unregulated expansion and activation of donor derived effector T-cells, which leads to a pro-inflammatory immune response and multi-organ damage and ultimately reduces the survival rates of HSCT recipients. Despite our growing understanding of acute GVHD, preventative treatment strategies continue to have limited success. One promising alternative approach is the use of a regulatory T-cell based cell therapies, which have sparked considerable interest as a potential therapeutic treatment for acute GVHD. Regulatory T-cells (Treg) are a subset of CD4+ T-cells that play an integral role in immune regulation and in maintaining self-tolerance. Treg have also been shown to be important in the development and prevention of acute GVHD. However, there are number of limitations that have significantly delayed the wider use of Treg-based cell therapies in the clinic, namely the high therapeutic dose required for effective disease suppression and the limited availability of Treg in vivo. Therefore, the scope of this thesis project focused on enhancing Treg-mediated acute GVHD suppression, by either augmenting Treg function or by modifying Treg 'homing' to directly target the cell therapy towards affected organ systems.

Oncolytic Viruses as a Potential Approach to Eliminate the HIV Reservoir

Oncolytic viruses

description: Similar to cancer cells, HIV-infected cells differ from HIV-uninfected cells in that they have altered interferon signaling pathways, the apparent reason for the selectivity of certain oncolytic viruses (OVs). Therefore, it was hypothesized that use of an OV, such as recombinant Maraba virus (MG1), may be a potential approach to eliminate latently-infected cells constituting the HIV reservoir while sparing HIV-uninfected cells. This was studied in U1, ACH-2, OM-10 and J1.1 cells and their respective HIV-uninfected parent cell lines in addition to CD4+CD25-HLADR- cells from HIV-infected individuals on effective antiretroviral therapy. Although MG1 infected and killed latently HIV-infected U1 cells to a greater degree than the HIV-uninfected parent U937 cells, this was not observed in the other HIV-infected cell lines and their respective parent cell lines. Furthermore, results from primary cells suggest that MG1 alone does not appear to eliminate cells which comprise the major HIV reservoir. Challenges of studying the HIV reservoir and priorities for future studies examining the use of OVs as a potential strategy to eliminate the HIV reservoir are discussed.

description: This article of theoretical reflection, based on bibliographical research and on analysis of government program, electoral propaganda, debates and polls, proposes to analyze the political imaginary projected by Marina Silva, as well as its deadlocks, having as focus the presidential campaign of 2014. Although her candidacy embraces the economic agenda of neoliberalism, it represents an aggiornamento of the neoliberal imaginary. The aura of modernity is conferred by the idea of sustainability and the metaphor of network. At the same time, Marina adds a moral component to the rational consensus of neoliberalism with her proposal of a new politics. Besides, the candidate tries to capitalize on her unique personal image, popular origins, political trajectory, and religiosity through a messianic posture. From this heteroclite combination stems something like a bricoleur neoliberalism. / Este artigo de reflexão teórica, baseado em pesquisa bibliográfica e em análise do programa de governo, da propaganda eleitoral, dos debates e das pesquisas, propõe-se a investigar o imaginário político projetado por Marina Silva, bem como seus impasses, tendo como foco a campanha presidencial brasileira de 2014. Essa candidatura abraça a agenda econômica do neoliberalismo, mas representa um aggiornamento do imaginário neoliberal. A aura de modernidade é conferida pela ideia de sustentabilidade e pela metáfora da rede. Ao mesmo tempo, Marina adiciona um componente moral ao consenso racional do neoliberalismo com sua proposta de nova política. Além disso, a candidata procura capitalizar sua imagem pessoal singular, suas origens populares, sua trajetória política e sua religiosidade por meio de uma postura messiânica. Dessa combinação heteróclita resulta algo como um neoliberalismo bricoleur.

Foot-to-ball interaction in preferred and non-preferred leg Australian Rules kicking
Creators: name: Smith, Jason

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Kicking is an integral skill within Australian Rules Football (ARF) and the ability to kick with either foot is essential at the elite level. A principal technical factor in the kicking skill is the nature of impact between the kicking foot and ball (Ball, 2008a). This study compared characteristics of foot-to-ball interaction between preferred and non-preferred kicking legs in Australian Rules football (ARF). Eighteen elite ARF players performed a maximum distance kick on their preferred and non-preferred legs. From high-speed video (6000Hz), two-dimensional digitised data of seven points (five on the kick leg, two on the ball) were used to quantify parameters near and during impact. The preferred foot produced significantly larger foot speed, ball speed, work done on the ball, ball displacement while in contact with the foot and change in shank angle during the ball contact phase.
Quantifying functional diversity of coastal fishes to inform conservation and management for ecosystem functioning

description: Functional diversity, defined as the variation in the traits of individuals, populations and assemblages, provides information overlooked by traditional biodiversity measures. Variation in the ecological traits of species may alter their roles in supporting the maintenance of ecological functions and modify how ecosystems respond to disturbance, or change in response to management interventions. The trait characteristics of individuals may also differ ontogenetically or in response to spatial or environmental gradients. The functional diversity and intra-specific trait values of fish assemblages in coastal seas, however, remain poorly understood.
description: Research on the functional diversity of coastal fish assemblages (n = 58 studies) is geographically widespread, encompassing a variety of themes across most seascapes. There is, however, considerable uncertainty surrounding the functional diversity of coastal fish assemblages, which results from major inconsistencies in the approaches that have been used to calculate functional diversity (36 different metrics). Most research on functional diversity has focussed on multidimensional space metrics, including functional richness, evenness and divergence (32 studies), which are also widely accepted to be the best techniques for describing functional diversity. Research effort has been concentrated on continental margin and coral reef seascapes, while the functional diversity of coastal fishes has rarely been examined in estuarine, shallow substrate, rocky reef and kelp, and exposed coastline seascapes. Functional diversity can be modified by spatial and environmental gradients, as well as natural disturbances, but results are inconsistent and differ among seascapes. The potential consequences of human impacts, conservation initiatives and restoration actions for functional diversity are rarely measured, highlighting the need for future work to inform conservation and management decisions that focus on ecosystem functioning and ecological resilience.

'All The Wounded': An investigation into the representation of persons with cerebral palsy in Australian fiction
Creators: name: Curtis, Gary
Publisher: name: University of the Sunshine Coast, Queensland
Year: 2012
Subjects: cerebral palsy
Australian fiction

description: Research into the Australian Literature Resource database reveals that no single novel of Australian adult fiction has been published that portrays protagonists with cerebral palsy or with cerebral palsy as a theme. The creative work 'All The Wounded' responds to this lacuna and the accompanying exegesis details the sociological and literary research that informs an accurate, realistic and empathetic depiction of persons with cerebral palsy. The sociological research includes an examination of disability in the Australian context and consideration of the treatment of persons with disabilities as 'social apartheid'. In providing an overview of Australian Federal and State government legislation relevant to the care and support of persons with disabilities, the guiding principle of 'normalisation' is explained and issues relating to autonomy, accommodation, education, employment and mobility discussed. The subject of disability and sexuality is also of significance to the novel and social relationships, intimacy, sexual expression, sexual abuse, sterilisation and parenthood are topics that are explored. Other sociological research inspiring the novel includes an examination of cerebral palsy as a medical condition and the treatment and care programs provided by Australian community organisations. Finally, an analysis of the evolution of disability theory notes the transitional developments from the 'medical model' of care, the contribution of the prevailing 'socio-contextual' models and the most recent model of 'complex embodiment'.

description: Abstract Pomegranates (Punica granatum L.) are gaining popularity among consumers because of their high antioxidant activity and multiple medical benefits. China is rich in pomegranate genetic resources, but how to use them effectively is a problem worthy of deep consideration. In this article, thirty-seven pomegranate varieties from seven provinces in China were collected and analyzed for twelve phenotypic traits and twelve biochemical indicators (seeds and juices). The fruit and aril fresh weight ranged between 210.5 and 576.5 g and 121.0 to 327.5 g, respectively, and the edible rate (42.58–64.80%), seed weight (1.80–3.41 g), seed number (249.1–838.9), fruit height (10.51–15.48 mm), fruit diameter (11.46–17.50 mm), skin thickness (2.14–6.98 mm), and shape index (0.82–0.96) varied among the different genotypes. The pomegranate juice total phenolic content ranged from 40.91 to 132.47 µg/mL, and the total flavonoid content (14.08–137.72 µg/mL), vitamin C content (12.80–66.63 µg/mL), pH (3.10–4.34), total soluble solids (13.13–17.50°Brix), and titratable acidity (0.26–2.71%) also varied; the pomegranate seed total phenolic content ranged from 0.62 to 1.78 mg/g, and the total flavonoid content (0.39–0.99 mg/g), vitamin C content (7.55–13.90 mg/g), DPPH radical scavenging capacity (85.98–98.24%), and ABTS scavenging ability (28.72–51%) were also measured. The coefficients of variation of the studied traits ranged from 5.62 to 54.02%, and the phenotypic traits’ Shannon–Weaver diversity indexes ranged from 0.67 to 1.53. Cluster analysis divided the 37 varieties into three categories, providing a reference for improved variety breeding. In addition, genotypic and environmental effects mainly affected the pomegranate flavor and antioxidant activity, respectively.

description: The multidisciplinary field of microfluidics has shown great promise for research at the interface of biology, chemistry, engineering, and physics. Laminar flow, versatile fabrication, and small length scales have made microfluidics especially well-suited for single-cell characterization. In particular, the evaluation of single-cell growth rates is of fundamental interest for studying the cell cycle and the effects of environmental factors, such as drugs, on cellular growth. This work presents aspects in the development of a microfluidic cell impedance sensor for measuring the volumetric growth rate of single cells and covers its application in the investigation of a new discovery relating to multidrug resistance in S. cerevisiae. While there are many avenues for the utilization and interpretation of growth rates, this application focused on the quantitative assessment of biological fitness—an important parameter in population genetics and mathematical biology. Through a combination of growth measurements and optics, this work concludes a novel case of bet-hedging in yeast, as well as the first ever case of bet-hedging in eukaryotic multidrug resistance.

description: Si riprende la trattazione della prima parte, soffermandosi sugli spostamenti oggi in atto fra le diverse varietà della lingua e sulla ristrutturazione del repertorio linguistico italiano. Si introduce poi la nozione di competenza socio-pragmatica e culturale e si evidenzia la necessità che i docenti di lingua italiana, in contesto di italiano L2, non limitino la loro competenza ai vari livelli della lingua, in tutte le sue varietà, ma la estendano alle regole pragmatiche e culturali che entrano in gioco nel rapporto fra le due lingue / culture che entrano in contatto nel processo di apprendimento, e le facciano rientrare nel percorso didattico dell’italiano L2 in modi adeguati agli obiettivi che di volta in volta si perseguono. Ci si sofferma, a titolo esemplificativo, su due temi dell’intersezione lingua / cultura studiati dalla pragmatica interculturale: il rapporto fra significato di superficie e significato profondo; le strutture della conversazione. Ogni argomento è accompagnato da indicazioni didattiche operative.     For a varietistic approach to the teaching of italian to foreigners - II   Continuing the first part, this article focuses on the current shifts regarding the different varieties of language and on the renovation of the Italian linguistic repertory.  The notion of socio-pragmatic and cultural competence is introduced, highlighting the need for Italian language teachers, in an Italian L2 context, not to limit their competence to the various levels of the language, in all of its variety, but to include pragmatic and cultural rules which are part of the relationship between the two languages/cultures which come into contact in the learning process, and how this contact effects reaching the Italian L2 learning goals. Two themes from the field of intercultural pragmatics are addressed in particular regarding the language/culture point of contact: the relationship between superficial and deep meaning and the structure of conversation. Each topic has practical didactic suggestions.

description: Non basta il possesso di una laurea triennale in Lettere per garantire la conoscenza di nozioni grammaticali elementari come le parti del discorso o di aspetti basilari della linguistica teorica già studiati all’Università. Lo dimostrano le risposte, qui esaminate con attenzione, mediamente molto insoddisfacenti, confuse, erronee di 19 laureati alle domande metalinguistiche di un questionario. Frasi  passive o interrogative vengono scambiate per esempi di dislocazioni a destra o a sinistra, non si sa cosa sia la deissi, grande è la confusione tra fonetica e fonologia… Ne emergono problemi che coinvolgono in pieno anche la didattica universitaria, soprattutto nella  prospettiva dell’attivazione dei corsi di laurea per insegnanti. In particolare, chi voglia prepararsi ad insegnare l’italiano (o altre lingue) dovrebbe avere una formazione ben più solida, ampia e aggiornata su questioni grammaticali e linguistiche. Solo così potrà essere debitamente attrezzato a curare tutti gli aspetti dell’educazione linguistica a scuola.     Metalinguistic (in)competence in graduates from the literature faculty A three-year degree in Literature is not sufficient to guarantee knowledge about basic grammar like the parts of speech or basic aspects of linguistic theory for university graduates.  These are the unsatisfactory, confused, wrong results of a questionnaire on metalinguistics administered to 19 graduates.  Passive sentences or interrogatives are mistakenly identified due to word order, deixis is unfamiliar, and phonetics and phonology are mixed up… Problems effecting university didactics are brought to light, especially regarding degree courses for teachers.  Those who wish to become Italian language (or another language) teachers should have more solid, ample and u-to-date training on grammar and linguistics, the only way for them to them to be capable of teaching language in school settings.

description: The type and timing of foods and beverages can play a vital role in supporting an athlete’s physiological adaption to exercise and competitive potential. For high-performance athletes, the significance that nutrition contributes to performance is a unique influence on their food choices compared to the general population. Despite awareness of this, athletes may not be making choices that are beneficial for their performance or long-term health. A multitude of conscious and subconscious factors influence choices, yet no validated tool is available for understanding the relative influence multiple factors have on an athlete’s food selection. Therefore, this thesis aimed to develop and validate an Athlete Food Choice Questionnaire (AFCQ). The project comprises four key focuses to provide a transparent account of the AFCQ’s development, validity, reliability and initial research application with each focus reported in a distinct study. Research participants were athletes from diverse sports and countries recruited from the 2017 Universiade, 2018 Commonwealth Games and an online sample.
description: Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses identified and validated the latent constructs (factors) of food choice from an initial questionnaire item pool. The resulting final AFCQ contained 32 question items organised within the following nine factors; ‘nutritional attributes of the food’, ‘emotional influences’, ‘food and health awareness’, ‘influence of others’, ‘usual eating practices’, ‘weight control’, ‘food values and beliefs’, ‘sensory appeal’ and ‘performance’. Accompanying the published AFCQ are 13 optional single-item factors for investigating simple constructs such as hunger, convenience and gut discomfort. Multiple measures examined the reliability, convergent validity and discriminant validity of the nine AFCQ factors. Where relevant, modification of the AFCQ is discussed with relevance to potential research and practical applications. Finally, descriptive analysis from implementing the AFCQ has contributed to knowledge on the relative influence among factors and differences between athlete groups.
description: Overall, the AFCQ is a valid and reliable tool. The research outcomes present a foundation of evidence supporting the use of the novel AFCQ to understand athlete food choices. Of practical significance, the AFCQ can give context to nutrition knowledge and diet quality data assisting nutrition professionals in tailoring interventions for individuals or teams of athletes.

description: Il presente contributo si propone di abbattere remore all’utilizzo per scopi didattici sia di immagini artistiche che di musica classica, nel nostro caso intesa come estensione didattica alla trattazione pittorica,  per il timore di banalizzare i contenuti dell’arte o di utilizzarli in maniera errata, considerandoli troppo impegnativi per l’apprendente e per lo stesso insegnante. La lezione basata sull’opera d’arte in realtà non richiede all’inizio nient’altro che l’osservazione e l’immedesimazione con l’opera. Se scelte in maniera oculata, le opere d’arte offrono spunti notevoli per favorire e motivare l’espressione linguistica autentica da parte dei discenti e possono offrire un accesso diretto alla cultura italiana.   How art can arouse interest in Italian Language learners The following essay aims to address the issue of hesitation about using art images or classical music, in our case introduced as correlated themes to painting, for fear of trivializing art subjects or using them in the wrong way, considering them too difficult for both learners and teachers. A lesson based on a work of art does not require anything else other than observation and identification with it. If appropriately chosen, works of art are remarkable stimuli to encourage and motivate use of authentic Italian, offering the students direct contact with Italian culture.

subject: fretting
subject: ravelling
subject: ageing
subject: pavement
subject: thermal-oxidation
subject: photo-oxidation
subject: bitumen
subject: chemical
subject: rheological
subject: mechanical
subject: Civil engineering
subject: FOS: Civil engineering

description: Ravelling, which is defined as aggregate loss from an asphalt surface, is one of the modes of failure of flexible pavements in both highways and airport pavement surfaces. Ravelling is a complex phenomenon that has many interdisciplinary mechanisms and causes. One of the major objectives of this study was set to provide a clear basis for the evaluation of different mixtures in terms of ravelling resistance.
description: A preliminary investigation of three airports in south-east Queensland and surface texture measurements using a laser texture meter indicated no statistically significant difference between trafficked and untrafficked sections in both runways and taxiways. Hence, a realistic test that simulates environmental field conditions that leads to bitumen ageing and mixture embrittlement which causes ravelling has been proposed and a weathering chamber that combines UV irradiation and heat has been used to simulate field conditions in addition to an air-flow oven.

description: In this thesis, I present a microscopic theory of quantum circuits based on interacting electron spins in quantum dot molecules. We use the Linear Combination of Harmonic Orbitals-Configuration Interaction (LCHO-CI) formalism for microscopic calculations. We then derive effective Hubbard, t-J, and Heisenberg models. These models are used to predict the electronic, spin and transport properties of a triple quantum dot molecule (TQDM) as a function of topology, gate configuration, bias and magnetic field. With these theoretical tools and fully characterized TQDMs, we propose the following applications: 1. Voltage tunable qubit encoded in the chiral states of a half-filled TQDM. We show how to perform single qubit operations by pulsing voltages. We propose the "chirality-to-charge" conversion as the measurement scheme and demonstrate the robustness of the chirality-encoded qubit due to charge fluctuations. We derive an effective qubit-qubit Hamiltonian and demonstrate the two-qubit gate. This provides all the necessary operations for a quantum computer built with chirality-encoded qubits. 2. Berry's phase. We explore the prospect of geometric quantum computing with chirality-encoded qubit. We construct a Herzberg circuit in the voltage space and show the accumulation of Berry's phase. 3. Macroscopic quantum states on a semiconductor chip. We consider a linear chain of TQDMs, each with 4 electrons, obtained by nanostructuring a metallic gate in a field effect transistor. We theoretically show that the low energy spectrum of the chain maps onto that of a spin-1 chain. Hence, we show that macroscopic quantum states, protected by a Haldane gap from the continuum, emerge. In order to minimize decoherence of electron spin qubits, we consider using electron spins in the p orbitals of the valence band (valence holes) as qubits. We develop a theory of valence hole qubit within the 4-band k.p model. We show that static magnetic fields can be used to perform single qubit operations. We also show that the qubit-qubit interactions are sensitive to the geometry of a quantum dot network. For vertical qubit arrays, we predict that there exists an optimal qubit separation suitable for the voltage control of qubit-qubit interactions.
Toward an Emancipatory Understanding of Global Being: An Ideological, Ontological Critique of Globality
Creators: name: Beal, John Casey
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2011
Subjects: Political Ontology
Globality
anti-globalization
Political Theory
the global left

description: This Masters thesis conducts an ideological critique of the way 'the global' is constructed conceptually, particularly by transformative politics and the anti/alter global left. In addition it attempts to foreground the importance of ontological inquiry as an essential component of effective ideological critique. It has four chapters(plus an intro and conclusion); The first chapter looks at the ways that globality is currently constructed conceptually, both as an object of study by academia, and as an object of intervention by the global left. The analysis and critique in this chapter will establish the need for an ontologically informed approach to globality. The second chapter explores the precise meaning of the term 'ontology' as well as some of its common misuses by social science. It will focus on examining the ways that ontology is inherently political, and can be infiltrated by ideology. The third chapter draws heavily from the work of Zizek to develop a theoretical model for understanding the ontological production of globality, and how ideology is implicated. The fourth chapter attempts to take the conclusions from the theoretical model and use them to suggest alternative approaches to globality which might better the prospects for an effective transformative `global` politics. In particular this chapter draws heavily upon the Deleuzean notion of Immanence.
Conceptualising the role of the practicum coordinator in Queensland state primary schools: A grounded theory study
Creators: name: Birch, Ann
Publisher: name: University of the Sunshine Coast, Queensland
Year: 2020
Subjects: practicum coordinator role

description: It is generally accepted that the school-based professional experience of pre-service teachers, also known as the practicum, is a crucial part of initial teacher training and is valued highly by pre-service teachers (TEMAG, 2015). Literature on the practicum has, however, focussed largely on the pre-service teachers, mentor teachers and the university coordinator. The role of the Practicum Coordinator (PC), usually undertaken by a member of the school leadership team or classroom teachers, has received little consideration, although research has demonstrated that PCs have a vital role in ensuring the delivery of high-quality practicum experiences. Research (Le Cornu, 2012; Martinez & Coombs, 2001; Mutton & Butcher, 2007; Pell, 1997; Utley, Basile, & Rhodes, 2003) undertaken prior to this study reveals a paucity of knowledge in understanding how PCs generally, and in Queensland state schools particularly, conceptualise their role in the absence of an external role definition. The aim of this study was, thus, to examine the basis for the construction of the PC role by the PCs, from their personal perspectives, in order to develop a substantive theory that explains the conceptualisation of the role by the practicum coordinators. A total of 16 PC participants (five males and 11 females) participated in the study. The participant group comprised of eight members from school leadership teams (ADMN) and eight classroom teachers (CT), with four participants (two each of ADMN and CT PCs) in each of the four iterations.
