description: Background: To explore the prevalence of parental support for meeting the Canadian 24-Hour Movement Guidelines for Children and Youth, identify key interactive support profiles among the four movement behaviors, and investigate subsequent sociodemographic and social cognitive correlates of these profiles. Methods: A sample of Canadian parents (N = 1208) with children aged 5 to 17 years completed measures of the theory of planned behavior (TPB), and support of the four child movement behaviors via questionnaire. Differences in the proportion of parents supporting these four health behaviors were explored and demographic and social cognitive (attitude and perceived control) correlates of combinations of parental support for the four health behaviors were evaluated. Results: Child and youth sleep behavior had the highest parental support (73%) and moderate to vigorous physical activity support had the lowest prevalence (23%). Interactive profiles of the four movement behaviors yielded six primary clusters and comprised wide variation from parents who supported none of these behaviors (19%), to parents who supported all four behaviors (14%). These profiles could be distinguished by the age of the child (younger children had higher support) and the gender of the parent (mothers provided more support), as well as constructs of the TPB, but TPB cognitions were more specific predictors of each health behavior rather than general predictors of aggregate health behavior clusters. Conclusions: Teenagers and fathers may represent key targets for parental support intervention of the 24-Hour Movement Guidelines. Intervention content may need to comprise the underlying foundations of attitude and perceived behavioral control to change parental support while considering the unique features of each health behavior to maximize related intervention effectiveness.

description: The 1980s witnessed a judicial “rights revolution” in Canada characterized by the Supreme Court of Canada striking down both federal and provincial legislation which violated the rights guaranteed by the 1982 Charter of Rights. The lack of a similar judicial “rights revolution” in the wake of the 1960 Canadian Bill of Rights has largely been attributed to the structural difference between the two instruments with the latter – as a “mere” statute of the federal parliament – providing little more than a canon of construction and (unlike the Charter) not empowering the courts to engage in judicial review of legislation. Yet this view contrasts starkly with how the Bill was portrayed by the Diefenbaker government, which argued that it provided for judicial review and would “prevail” over other federal legislation. Many modern scholars have dismissed the idea that the Bill could prevail over other federal statutes as being incompatible with the doctrine of parliamentary sovereignty. That is, a bill of rights could only prevail over legislation if incorporated into the British North America Act. As such, they argue that the Diefenbaker government could not have intended the Bill of Rights to operate as anything more than a canon of construction. However, such a view ignores the turbulence in constitutional thinking on parliamentary sovereignty in the 1930s through 1960s provoked by the Statute of Westminster. This era produced the doctrine of “self-embracing” sovereignty – in contrast to traditional “Dicey” sovereignty – where parliament could limit itself through “ordinary” legislation. The effective author of the Canadian Bill of Rights, Elmer Driedger, was an adherent of this doctrine as well as an advocate of a “purposive” approach to statutory interpretation. Driedger, thus, drafted the Bill based upon the doctrine of self-embracing sovereignty and believed it would enjoy a “purposive” interpretation by the courts, with the Bill designed to be as effective at guaranteeing rights as the Statute of Westminster was at liberating Canada from Imperial legislation.

From social foresight to social entrepreneurship: pathways to sustainability
Creators: name: Ramos, Jose M.
name: O'Connor, Allan
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This study asks the central question, ‘Are social entrepreneurs using foresight to create innovation based on triple bottom line sustainability measures?’ and ‘if so, how?’ Sustainability is the emergent criteria for evaluating many aspects of the social world, including corporate governance, health systems, economics, social welfare and the environment. All the while, innovation is one of the key factors in the constitution of our social worlds, be this legislative, organizational, social or technical change. Therefore, it appears that the drive toward sustainability should be coupled with an emphasis on innovation – in particular creating innovation toward sustainability. Yet unexamined assumptions exist behind such language. Sustainability is a concept within the context of ‘the future’, requiring one to question ‘what is the future’ – in essence a utilization of the strategic capacity for foresight. Foresight, moreover, ranges from the tacit assumed personal foresight of the ordinary individual to the specialized foresight of the professional forecaster, scenario planner, or foresight practitioner.

description: The Arltian passion for mixture has a privileged place in Piglia’s work. It is a foundational element of a poetic that works with a combinatory of heterogeneous ingredients. The mixed system that characterizes Arlt’s work is inseparable from Piglia’s texts. Piglia dialogues with Arlt, a writer that constitutes a central link of his traditional series. This essay starts with an hypothesis of Respiración artificial and develops it on the basis of Los siete locos to communicate the texts among them.

La vocación arltiana de la mezcla ocupa un lugar privilegiado en la obra de Piglia y opera como elemento fundacional de una poética que se erige y organiza sobre una combinatoria de elementos heterogéneos. Esa vocación hacia la mezcla característica de la obra de Arlt es indisociable de la pigliana. Desde sus textos, Piglia dialoga con Arlt, escritor que constituye un eslabón central de su serie tradicional. Con este trabajo pretendo recuperar una hipótesis de Respiración artificial y desarrollarla en función de Los siete locos con vistas comunicar entre sí las dos obras.

description: Radically discussing a rigid concept of identity, both on a theorical level and through a fiction built on a unceasing dialogue with alterity, Mia Couto outlines a new kind of bilinguism, which comes from an aporethical thought. Avoiding to cancel contemporary Africa traumas, this bilinguism is an alternative and operating identity proposal.

Mettendo radicalmente in discussione una concezione rigida dell’identità, sia sul piano teorico sia con una narrativa che si costruisce in un incessante dialogo con l’alterità, Mia Couto delinea un nuovo tipo di bilinguismo, di natura aporetica, il quale, senza obliterare i traumi di cui l’Africa contemporanea è costellata, costituisce una proposta identitaria alternativa e operativa.
Thermodynamics of negative sulfuric acid and nitric acid clusters by electrospray tandem mass spectrometry

description: Electrospray-ionization tandem mass spectrometry was used to determine the binding energy of HSO4-(H2SO 4)n ions for n up to 4 and NO3-(HNO 3)n ions for n up to 3. The binding energies obtained experimentally are substantially lower than those in the literature except for the values for NO3-(HNO3) and HSO4 -(H2SO4). The geometries of HSO4-(H2SO 4)n and NO3-(HNO3) n for n up to 3 were optimized using the following levels of theory: AM1, HF/3-21G, HF/6-31 + G(d) B3LYP/6-31 + G(d), and B3LYP/6-311 + G(d,p). The values calculated at B3LYP/6-311 + G(d,p) are in fair agreement with those in the literature. For the same order of clustering, sulfuric acid clusters are bound more strongly than the nitric acid analogues. Neutral acid molecules form clusters with core ions via hydrogen bonds. As the number of neutrals increases, the binding energy decreases.
Local Government and homelessness: is the future all bleak?
Creators: name: Burke, Terry
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Local government in Australia is the third plank of a federal system and one in which, relative to other federal systems, it is very much a weaker partner. This means that in dealing with issues of homelessness it has not had either the resources or the formal responsibility. Local government in Australia is also very disparate in structure, geographical area, housing market attributes, and political, economic and social constituency. This means that there is no uniformity on how homelessness is experienced by different local governments, their awareness of it, or their ability and willingness to respond. Moreover, with a few exceptions, local government does not provide any form of social housing that could represent a local housing solution. Thus, unlike in the United Kingdom (see Anderson), there is no clear rationale for a strategic planning approach to homelessness by local government. [Introduction]

description: Many poor suburbs in Australia with higher than average numbers of public housing tenants do not simply suffer material disadvantage but also suffer from poor reputations that are reinforced though stigmatising assumptions that portray their residents negatively. Preliminary findings from qualitative research undertaken in Adelaide, South Australia paint a somewhat different picture of some residents in public housing which counters such stereotypes and assumptions and suggests that the picture is not as bleak as the stigmatised accounts suggest. This article examines the ways in which residents in stigmatised suburbs and housing actively resist and challenge the negative image ascribed to them and concludes by considering the public policy implications that come from the research.

description: Background: Bone metastases in the lower spine and pelvis are effectively palliated with radiotherapy (RT), though this can come with side effects such as radiation induced nausea and vomiting (RINV). We hypothesize that high rates of RINV occur in part because of the widespread use of inexpensive simple unplanned palliative radiotherapy (SUPR), over more complex and resource intensive 3D conformal RT, such as volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT). Methods: This is a randomized, multi-centre phase III trial of SUPR versus VMAT. We will accrue 250 patients to assess the difference in patient-reported RINV. This study is powered to detect a difference in quality of life between patients treated with VMAT vs. SUPR. Discussion: This trial will determine if VMAT reduces early toxicity compared to SUPR and may provide justification for this more resource-intensive and costly form of RT. Trial registration: Clinicaltrials.gov identifier: NCT03694015 . Date of registration: October 3, 2018.

description: Die Bundesnetzagentur führte im Rahmen der neu eingeführten und erstmals durchgeführten gesetzlichen Bedarfsplanung für die Höchstspannungsnetze - die in den sogenannten Bundesbedarfsplan mündet - eine Strategische Umweltprüfung (SUP) durch. Dabei wurde auf eine Alternativenprüfung verzichtet. Der Beitrag geht der Frage nach, ob dieses Vorgehen gerechtfertigt ist, und kommt zu dem Ergebnis, dass die Bundesnetzagentur eine Alternativenprüfung hätte durchführen müssen. Da die Strategische Umweltprüfung mindestens alle drei Jahre bei Neuaufstellung des Bundesbedarfsplans durchgeführt werden muss, ist diese Frage auch zukünftig von Bedeutung.

description: In Brazil, the poverty and the minority access of the most part of the population to university degree started to be related to racism. The Representative House of Rio de Janeiro State approved in 2003 the so-called "Racial Policy of Share”. The law in order to reduce the disproportional racial composition in the universities reserves 20% of State University vacancy to self- declared Afro-Brazilians and to students that prove they are poor. But, in the UENF, we were able to verify the inefficiency of a social inclusion when using this law and the persistence of controversy about its legitimacy.

No Brasil, pobreza e acesso minoritário de grande parte da população ao grau universitário começaram a ser relacionados ao racismo. A Câmara Representativa do Rio de Janeiro aprovou, em 2003, a chamada "política de cotas raciais”. A lei, a fim de reduzir a desproporcional composição racial nas universidades, reserva 20% das vagas das universidades estaduais aos que se auto-declaram afro-brasileiros e aos estudantes que provam ser pobres. Mas, na UENF, pudemos verificar a ineficiência de uma inclusão social pelo uso da presente lei e a persistência da polêmica sobre sua legitimidade.

Different possibilities allow to generate detailed maps of the environment based on chirp-sequence radar sensors for advanced driver assistance systems (ADASs). For the first time, this letter shows a qualitative comparison between synthetic aperture radar (SAR)- and occupancy grid map (OGM)-based environment representation using identical measurement data. The differences of existing signal processing chains as well as a visual measurement-based comparison of the resulting environmental maps is presented.
Development and validation of a couples measure of biased responding: The Marital Aggrandizement Scale.

Subjects: subject: Psychology, Social.

description: More than 30 years ago, Edmonds recognized the need for a couples measure of biased responding. Like other categories of self-report instruments, marital measures are believed to be highly susceptible to distortion. Edmonds developed the Marital Conventionalization Scale (MCS) to measure overly positive appraisal of one's marriage. Subsequent research, however, has failed to confirm that the MCS is a valid measure of socially desirable responding. In keeping with this observation, the current study set out to develop a new couples measure of biased responding. An extended pool of items included statements from the existing MCS, additional items from Edmonds' original validation study as well as items written specifically for this study. The scoring protocol for the revised measure was also changed from a true/false, forced choice format to a 7-point, Likert-type scale to increase measurement sensitivity. Item analyses were performed among a random subgrouping of older adults ( n = 200). Various a priori inclusion criteria were applied from which a set of 18 items was selected. Three phases of validation research establish the reliability and validity of this measure among an international sample of older married adults (n = 350). The concurrent and discriminant validity of this scale is demonstrated relative to separate measures of biased responding, marital satisfaction, and psychological well-being respectively. Indices of internal consistency as measured by Cronbach's alpha range from alpha = .84 to alpha = .87. Test-retest reliability over an average interval of 43 days is calculated as r(102) = .75. This coefficient compares favourably to those obtained for other indices of biased responding among these same participants. Consistent with existing research, it is proposed that the new instrument henceforth be known as the Marital Aggrandizement Scale (MAS). The challenge remains to identify factors associated with the etiology and maintenance of marital aggrandizement. Is this construct particular to older adults within long-term relationships or common to all stages of romantic relationships irrespective of duration? Subsequent research is required to identify correlates and predictors of marital aggrandizement across populations, over time.

The performance of the Mantel-Haenszel and logistic regression DIF identification procedures with real data.

Year: 1994
Subjects: subject: Education, Tests and Measurements.

description: Numerous statistical methods have been proposed for detecting differential item functioning (DIF). Among them, methods based on item response theory (IRT) are theoretically preferred but very complicated and expensive to implement. As an alternative, the Mantel-Haenszel (MH) procedure has emerged as one of the most popular procedures because of its ease of implementation, relatively small sample size requirement, and associated test of significance. In addition, it provides a measure of the amount and direction of DIF. However, the MH procedure is not designed for and therefore not very effective in detecting nonuniform DIF. As an extension of the MH procedure, a more general DIF detection method, a logistic regression procedure (LR) has been shown to be powerful in detecting both uniform and nonuniform DIF. The purpose of this study is to examine the consistency of the MH and LR procedures and their agreement in the identification of DIF across sample size and criterion when using real examinee data.

description: Transcranial direct-current stimulation (tDCS) over the prefrontal cortex can improve signs of consciousness in patients in a minimally conscious state. Transcranial pulsed-current stimulation (tPCS) over the mastoids can modulate brain activity and connectivity in healthy controls. This study investigated the feasibility of tPCS as a therapeutic tool in patients with disorders of consciousness (DoC) and compared its neurophysiological and behavioral effects with prefrontal tDCS. This pilot study was a randomized, double-blind sham-controlled clinical trial with three sessions: bi-mastoid tPCS, prefrontal tDCS, and sham. Electroencephalography (EEG) and behavioral assessments were collected before and after each stimulation session. Post minus pre differences were compared using Kruskal–Wallis and Wilcoxon signed-rank tests. Twelve patients with DoC were included in the study (eight females, four traumatic brain injury, 50.3 ± 14 y.o., 8.8 ± 10.5 months post-injury). We did not observe any side-effects following tPCS, nor tDCS, and confirmed their feasibility and safety. We did not find a significant effect of the stimulation on EEG nor behavioral outcomes for tPCS. However, consistent with prior findings, our exploratory analyses suggest that tDCS induces behavioral improvements and an increase in theta frontal functional connectivity.
John Calvin's preaching on the devil.

Subjects: subject: Theology.

description: This thesis concerns itself with John Calvin's preaching on the devil. The thesis is unique insofar as there is no book-length that studies this topic, and, Calvin is well known as a theologian rather than a preacher. In this work, I attempt to show that not only does Calvin have some valuable insights on the devil in his sermons but that useful information can also be gathered by a careful consideration of the structure of each sermon. In order to preserve some sense of the structure, I have done a detailed analysis of each of the sermons rather than simply summarizing the main points contained within each. I did this in order to give the reader immediate access to Calvin's sermons. John Calvin's sermons on the devil reveal that he was much more of an experiential thinker than had been previously thought. Our daily experiences of God are not useless and our experiences of trials and temptations can lead us into a far deeper appreciation and understanding of God as Redeemer. Calvin's understanding of the devil affords new insights into Calvin's doctrine of the knowledge of God. In fact, I attempt to show that true knowledge of God is impossible without the devil. Calvin's understanding of the devil has ramifications for many of his doctrines including his understanding of the Holy Spirit and the law. I have shown that the devil functions to lead the believer into a deeper relationship with God. Against his will, the devil serves many of the same functions as the Holy Spirit and can be understood as an instrument of Divine accommodation. The devil also functions in the same way as the third use of the law. The thesis shows that there is nothing that exists outside of the grace and love of God. Even the devil is used by God. I intended this work to be of use not only to scholars but also to the Church. To this end, I included a chapter on how I understand Calvin's ideas on the devil to be applicable today. Calvin's insight that the devil is always held in check by God means that no matter how terribly we suffer, we never suffer outside of the love and grace of God. Suffering is never in vain. Lastly, it is my hope that this work will serve as a point of departure for many other research topics on Calvin. It would be interesting to see how the role of the devil will nuance Calvin's understanding of predestination, evil and human experience.

description: INTRODUCTION: Frailty in Older people: Rehabilitation, Treatment, Research Examining Separate Settings (the FORTRESS study) is a multisite, hybrid type II, stepped wedge, cluster, randomised trial examining the uptake and outcomes of a frailty intervention. The intervention is based on the 2017 Asia Pacific Clinical Practice Guidelines for the Management of Frailty and begins in the acute hospital setting and transitions to the community. The success of the intervention will require individual and organisational behaviour change within a dynamic health system. This process evaluation will examine the multiple variables at play in the context and mechanism of the frailty intervention to enhance understanding of the outcomes of the FORTRESS study and how the outcomes can be translated from the trial into broader practice. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: The FORTRESS intervention will recruit participants from six wards in New South Wales and South Australia, Australia. Participants of the process evaluation will include trial investigators, ward-based clinicians, FORTRESS implementation clinicians, general practitioners and FORTRESS participants. The process evaluation has been designed using realist methodology and will occur in parallel to the FORTRESS trial. A mixed-method approach will be used with qualitative and quantitative data collected from interviews, questionnaires, checklists and outcome assessments. Qualitative and quantitative data will be examined for CMOCs (Context, Mechanism, Outcome Configurations) and programme theories will be developed, tested and refined. This will facilitate development of more generalisable theories to inform translation of frailty intervention within complex healthcare systems. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: Ethical approval for the FORTRESS trial, inclusive of the process evaluation, has been obtained from the Northern Sydney Local Health District Human Research Ethics Committees reference number 2020/ETH01057. Recruitment for the FORTRESS trial uses opt-out consent. Dissemination will be via publications, conferences and social media. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: ACTRN12620000760976p (FORTRESS trial).

description: Abstract Aim This study aimed to identify and compare age stereotypes of registered nurses and supervisors in clinical inpatient settings. Design Generic qualitative study using half‐standardized interviews. Method Nineteen face‐to‐face interviews and five focus groups (N = 50) were conducted with nurses of varying levels at a hospital of maximum medical care in Germany between August and November 2018 and were subjected to structured qualitative content analysis. Results Reflecting the ageing process and cooperation in mixed‐age teams, nursing staff and supervisors defined similar age stereotypes towards older and younger nurses reminiscent of common generational labels ‘Baby Boomers’ and Generations X. Their evaluation created an inconsistent and contradictory pattern differing to the respective work context and goals. Age stereotypes were described as both potentially beneficial and detrimental for the individual and the cooperation in the team. If a successfully implemented diversity management focuses age stereotypes, negative assumptions can be reduced and cooperation in mixed‐age teams can be considered beneficial. Conclusion Diversity management as measures against age stereotypes and for mutual acceptance and understanding should include staff from various hierarchical levels of the inpatient setting.
Représentation et participation : l'idée de démocratie chez Alexis de Tocqueville.

description: Nous avons cité Alexis de Tocqueville. Ainsi sommes-nous disposés à le recevoir comme maître à penser dans cette recherche. A le suivre autant dans ses méditations que dans ses observations, il nous est donc donné d'apprendre à lire la trame complexe et chaotique de la réalité démocratique, de manière à voir que par-delà la diversité, l'ambiguïté et la contradiction que cette réalité comporte, se déploie une logique unique et commune de sens. Notre thèse aura pour objectif de répondre à la question: quel sens Tocqueville donne-t-il à l'idée de démocratie? Sous quelles formes peut-on la percevoir? Afin d'examiner critiquement ce sens, nous serons conduits, dans cette recherche, par deux motifs. Le premier motif polarise notre intérêt spécial sur la nature de l'idée démocratique chez Tocqueville afin de mieux distinguer ses effets sur les institutions et la culture politique de son époque. Le deuxième motif surgira même de l'ambiguïté et de la contradiction souvent mentionnées par les commentateurs de Tocqueville. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

description: In this thesis, the work focuses on developing distributed optical fiber vibration sensors based on phase-sensitive optical time domain reflectometry (Φ-OTDR). Three works have been accomplished to improve the performances of Φ-OTDR for distributed vibration sensing. Firstly, Φ-OTDR based on a polarization diversity scheme is demonstrated to mitigate the polarization mismatch effect occurring in traditional systems. A theoretical analysis is performed in different polarization cases corresponding to coherent and polarization diversity detection. Φ-OTDR based polarization diversity shows a great potential in the multi-events sensing application. Two vibration events are simultaneously detected and their signal to noise ratios are improved by 10.9 dB and 8.65 dB, respectively, compared to the results obtained by a conventional coherent scheme. Intensity fluctuation in a phase-sensitive optical-time domain reflectometry (Φ-OTDR) system caused by stochastic characteristics of Rayleigh backscattering has limited relative vibration strength measurement, which is proportional to dynamic strain. A trace-to-trace correlation coefficient is thus proposed to quantify the Φ-OTDR system stability and a novel approach of measuring the dynamic strain induced by various driving voltages of lead zicronate titanate (PZT) is demonstrated. Piezoelectric vibration signals are evaluated through analyzing peak values of the fast Fourier transform spectra at fundamental frequency and high-order harmonics based on Bessel functions. Experimental results show high correlation coefficients and good stability of our Φ-OTDR system, as well as the small measurement uncertainty of measured peak values. To reduce the intra-band noise caused by the finite extinction ratio of optical pulses, Φ-OTDR based on high extinction ratio generation is studied. Two methods are developed for achieving high extinction ratio of optical pulse generation. One of the approaches is to synchronize two cascaded electro-optic modulators to achieve high extinction ratio operation. The other one is to use the nonlinear optical fiber loop mirror as an optical switch to suppress the continuous wave portion of optical pulse. The sensing range of 1.8 km and 8.4 km with corresponding spatial resolution of 0.5 m and 2 m have been demonstrated based on cascaded two electro-optic modulators and nonlinear optical fiber loop mirror setup, respectively.
