description: Using geomterothermodynamics (GTD), we investigate the phase transition of black hole in a metric independent way. We show that for any black hole, curvature scalar (of equilibrium state space geometry) is singular at the point where specific heat diverges. Previously such a result could only be shown by taking specific examples on a case by case basis. A different type of phase transition, where inverse specific heat diverges, is also studied within this framework. We show that in the latter case, metric (of equilibrium state space geometry) is singular instead of curvature scalar. Since a metric singularity may be a coordinate artifact, we propose that GTD indicates that it is the singularity of specific heat and not inverse specific heat which indicates a phase transition of black holes.

PREVENTIVE HEALTHCARE

description: Tumors of visible localizations of the head and neck are significant in the structure of oncological morbidity. In the early stages, they respond well to surgical treatment, targeted and radiation therapy; in the later stages, there is a high degree of trauma, disability and mortality. The objective of the study was to identify parameters of oncogenic risks for their further implementation as applications for mobile devices computer programs. The study involved adults diagnosed with oncopathologies. The information was collected by anonymous survey; the authors have also specified the gradation of the most common localizations. The main findings of the study were presented as prevention guidelines and rrecommendations available to all Russian citizens. Questionnaires and programs on modern platforms were introduced to detect the studied factors and early symptoms of oncological diseases, thus contributing to preventive medicine concept and increasing the efficiency of healthcare.

description: Generalizing the notion of automatic complexity of individual strings due to Shallit and Wang, we define the automatic complexity $A(E)$ of an equivalence relation $E$ on a finite set $S$ of strings. We prove that the problem of determining whether $A(E)$ equals the number $|E|$ of equivalence classes of $E$ is $\mathsf{NP}$-complete. The problem of determining whether $A(E) = |E| + k$ for a fixed $k\ge 1$ is complete for the second level of the Boolean hierarchy for $\mathsf{NP}$, i.e., $\mathsf{BH}_2$-complete. Let $L$ be the language consisting of all strings of maximal nondeterministic automatic complexity. We characterize the complexity of infinite subsets of $L$ by showing that they can be co-context-free but not context-free, i.e., $L$ is $\mathsf{CFL}$-immune, but not $\mathsf{coCFL}$-immune. We show that for each $ε>0$, $L_ε\not\in\mathsf{coCFL}$, where $L_ε$ is the set of all strings whose deterministic automatic complexity $A(x)$ satisfies $A(x)\ge |x|^{1/2-ε}$.

description: My thesis presents an ethnographic account of experiences of connection between people and place at the community environment park CERES (Centre for Education and Research in Environmental Strategies), located within the urban/industrial fringe of Melbourne. Consideration is paid to the transference of the dualistic nature/culture conceptualisation upon experiences between people and place and how this impacts the wellbeing of people and place. The central questions posed are to what extent the dualistic conceptualisation is responsible for environmental degradation and dissatisfaction with an urban economic rationalist shaped culture with reference to the work of Plumwood (2002), and in response to this, whether a holistic conceptualisation has the capacity to offer experiences between people and place which enhance wellbeing with reference to the work of Bateson (1979), Merleau-Ponty (2006) and Leopold (1966). Paying attention to the two central themes of community and environment at CERES, I assess their historical discourses in relation to their current interpretations present amongst people involved with CERES with reference to the work of Weber (2009), Sworder (1995) and Delanty (2003), their role in generating interest and relationships between people and place, and focus upon the impact of dualistic and holistic conceptualisations in CERES’ efforts of bringing them together. Through fieldwork I examine my own and others personal understandings and experiences of disconnection, connection and wellbeing, through critiques of urban living, desires for community, desires for a sense of place and desires for meaning expressed at CERES. These personal understandings and experiences are explored with reference to the role of empiricism in dualistic understandings, the phenomenology of experience reflective of holistic understandings and the nature of wellbeing. My expectation is that a place such as CERES provides opportunities and inspiration for people to develop meaningful connections with place which can offer reciprocal wellbeing for people and place. My research significantly contributes to a better understanding of how environmentalist efforts not only benefit the wellbeing of the environment, but also the wellbeing of people.

description: In this paper we report on the timing resolution of the first production of 50 micro-meter thick Ultra-Fast Silicon Detectors (UFSD) as obtained in a beam test with pions of 180 GeV/c momentum. UFSD are based on the Low-Gain Avalanche Detectors (LGAD) design, employing n-on-p silicon sensors with internal charge multiplication due to the presence of a thin, low-resistivity diffusion layer below the junction. The UFSD used in this test belongs to the first production of thin (50 μm) sensors, with an pad area of 1.4 mm2. The gain was measured to vary between 5 and 70 depending on the bias voltage. The experimental setup included three UFSD and a fast trigger consisting of a quartz bar readout by a SiPM. The timing resolution, determined comparing the time of arrival of the particle in one or more UFSD and the trigger counter, for single UFSD was measured to be 35 ps for a bias voltage of 200 V, and 26 ps for a bias voltage of 240 V, and for the combination of 3 UFSD to be 20 ps for a bias voltage of 200 V, and 15 ps for a bias voltage of 240 V.

Tendon forms an anatomical link between muscle and bone, transmitting mechanical load from muscle to the bone surface. How tendon adapts to mechanical load associated with exercise during childhood growth and whether this is influenced by gender and pubertal status is unknown. Little is also known about the relationship between tendon, muscle and bone growth in children. The aims of this study were to determine (i) differences in tendon size between dominant and non-dominant arms of children who play tennis, (ii) if tendon size is influenced by gender and pubertal status, and (iii) the relation of tendon size to muscle and bone size during childhood growth. The triceps brachii tendon size was measured from MRI scans of both arms in 104 children (58 boys, 46 girls). Data were analysed with multiple regression analyses. Results found that physical loading from exercise affects tendon size. There was a significant difference in tendon size between dominant and non-dominant arms in children who played tennis and children who did not play tennis, and this was influenced by pubertal status. The non-dominant arm triceps brachii tendon was significantly smaller (p equals 0.01 for boys and p equals 0.05 for girls) than the dominant side. Gender did not influence tendon size. However between pubertal groups, there was a difference in the dominant arm triceps brachii tendon size (F(2, 99) equals 8.2, p equals 0.001), and non-dominant arms (F(2, 99) equals 3.8, p equals 0.03). There was a significant relation between tendon, muscle and bone size during growth in children. Tendon size during growth was moderately related to muscle size (t equals 2.52, p equals 0.01) and strongly related to cortical bone size (t equals 2.78, p equals 0.007). This study highlights the importance of physical exercise during childhood on tendon growth and indicates a method for addressing long term tendon health.

description: Discovered in high-energy physics, the chiral anomaly has recently made way to materials science by virtue of Weyl semimetals (WSM). Thus far, the main efforts to probe the chiral anomaly in WSM have concentrated on electronic phenomena. Here, we show that the chiral anomaly can have a large impact in the $A_1$ phonons of enantiomorphic WSM. In these materials, the chiral anomaly produces an unusual magnetic-field-induced resonance in the effective phonon charge, which in turn leads to anomalies in the phonon dispersion, optical reflectivity, and the Raman scattering.

Government concerns about the low performance of Vietnamese secondary school students studying History have led to this original inquiry into reasons and factors affecting the quality of teacher professional development in Vietnam. Reflecting this investigation through Engeström’s Activity systems theory will allow an examination of human interactions in a particular context. Using an interpretive approach, this qualitative study investigated the experiences of sixteen participants including teachers, officials and trainers in Hanoi City, Vietnam. Data were collected in focus-group and individual semi-structured interviews. The aim was to identify problems in teacher professional development that impeded improvement in teaching and student academic performance desired by the Vietnamese government. Analysis of findings from focus group and individual semi-structured interviews revealed that teachers preferred class observation as the most suitable professional development activity. All participants acknowledged systemic problems of funding and adequate resources. Systemic issues of time allocation and remuneration to attend professional development activities and the variability in the quality of professional instructors and curriculum were perceived as impediments to effective teacher professional development. Several recommendations emerged from this study. These include: auditing teachers’ learning and skill needs prior to undertaking professional development; teachers and school principals to take more ownership; change to salary, appraisal and promotion systems for History teachers; online professional development and wider variety of professional development approaches. The significance of this study is that it placed teachers at the centre of professional development enabling them to contribute to improvements in professional development activities. With a limited research sample confined to one educational district, findings are not generalisable. Further research with larger samples in different locations with a broader range of data collection instruments and methods will be required. All participants are acknowledged for providing views and recommendations for improving professional development activities for secondary school History teachers in Vietnam.

description: For a variety of superconducting qubits, tunable interactions are achieved through mutual inductive coupling to a coupler circuit containing a nonlinear Josephson element. In this paper we derive the general interaction mediated by such a circuit under the Born-Oppenheimer Approximation. This interaction naturally decomposes into a classical part, with origin in the classical circuit equations, and a quantum part, associated with the coupler's zero-point energy. Our result is non-perturbative in the qubit-coupler coupling strengths and in the coupler nonlinearity. This can lead to significant departures from previous, linear theories for the inter-qubit coupling, including non-stoquastic and many-body interactions. Our analysis provides explicit and efficiently computable series for any term in the interaction Hamiltonian and can be applied to any superconducting qubit type. We conclude with a numerical investigation of our theory using a case study of two coupled flux qubits, and in particular study the regime of validity of the Born-Oppenheimer Approximation.

Transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulation of mitochondrial gene expression in Dictyostelium discoideum
Creators: name: Manna, Sam
Publisher: name: La Trobe
Year: 2023

description: To ensure normal function and biogenesis of mitochondria, the mitochondrial genome is subjected to transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulation. This thesis explored these aspects of mitochondrial gene expression in the model protist Dictyostelium discoideum. The research conducted provided new insight into the mitochondrial transcription machinery and identified a unique transcription factor (Tfb1m) with features of both human transcription factors, revealing a novel mechanism of mitochondrial transcription initiation in D. discoideum. Following mitochondrial transcription, the transcriptome is subjected to modifications mediated by several proteins. The prevalence of RNA-binding proteins that may mediate these processes was also investigated and PtcE was identified, a pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) protein with novel domain architecture. This discovery in D. discoideum led to the identification of a novel subfamily of PPR proteins (the PPR-TGM subfamily) with a complex evolutionary history and functions in mitochondrial tRNA metabolism, including tRNA processing. RNA methylation appears to play an important role in mitochondrial RNA metabolism which is mediated by enzymes with bacterial origins. In addition to its role in transcription initiation, Tfb1m catalyses methylation of mitochondrial rRNA and originated from an α-proteobacterial methyltransferase. Likewise, methylation of mitochondrial tRNA is predicted to be catalysed by PtcE, which originated from a chlamydial methyltransferase. The work presented in this thesis highlights the significance of using the D. discoideum model for studying mitochondrial genetics and has contributed novel findings to further our understanding of the complexities of mitochondrial gene expression and its regulation.

description: The hepatobiliary system pathology remains an urgent problem of modern medicine. The liver regeneration ability largely determines the outcome of surgery and postoperative complications. The aim of the study was to enhance the prevention of postoperative hepatic dysfunction by activating methylation processes. The study involved experimental and clinical phases. In the experimental unit, the best results (15,17% acceleration of liver mass recovery) were observed with intrahepatic administration of cyanocobalamin, and intrahepatic administration of cyanocobalamin with intraperitoneal administration of ademethionine (12,04% acceleration). In clinical conditions, intravenous administration of cyanocobalamin and ademethionine contributed to the normalization of indicators of cholestasis syndrome, hepatic cell insufficiency and inflammation, a decrease in cytolysis, hepatic cell insufficiency. Thus, the proposed method of activation of methylation processes allows to increase the reparative potential of the liver, ensures the restoration of its anatomical and functional integrity, prevents the development of postoperative hepatic dysfunction.

Bounding averages rigorously using semidefinite programming: mean moments of the Lorenz system

description: We describe methods for proving bounds on infinite-time averages in differential dynamical systems. The methods rely on the construction of nonnegative polynomials with certain properties, similarly to the way nonlinear stability can be proved using Lyapunov functions. Nonnegativity is enforced by requiring the polynomials to be sums of squares, a condition which is then formulated as a semidefinite program (SDP) that can be solved computationally. Although such computations are subject to numerical error, we demonstrate two ways to obtain rigorous results: using interval arithmetic to control the error of an approximate SDP solution, and finding exact analytical solutions to relatively small SDPs. Previous formulations are extended to allow for bounds depending analytically on parametric variables. These methods are illustrated using the Lorenz equations, a system with three state variables $(x,y,z)$ and three parameters $(β,σ,r)$. Bounds are reported for infinite-time averages of all eighteen moments $x^ly^mz^n$ up to quartic degree that are symmetric under $(x,y)\mapsto(-x,-y)$. These bounds apply to all solutions regardless of stability, including chaotic trajectories, periodic orbits, and equilibrium points. The analytical approach yields two novel bounds that are sharp: the mean of $z^3$ can be no larger than its value of $(r-1)^3$ at the nonzero equilibria, and the mean of $xy^3$ must be nonnegative. The interval arithmetic approach is applied at the standard chaotic parameters to bound eleven average moments that all appear to be maximized on the shortest periodic orbit. Our best upper bound on each such average exceeds its value on the maximizing orbit by less than 1%. Many bounds reported here are much tighter than would be possible without computer assistance.

description: Research into longer relationships with products may currently be biased towards special, cherished or meaningful products. The aim of this research is to contribute to understanding the mechanisms underpinning longer relationships with more everyday products. The study is based on ethnographic research in several phases, including semi-structured interviews with a cohort of 280 participants aged from 9 to 82 years, followed by self-documentation based research with over 80 participants. Nine main determinants in longer everyday product relationships are identified and discussed. These components are regrouped and can be used to generate a tentative five point framework highlighting the multifaceted nature of longer everyday product relationships.

description: In the modern world there is a wide variety of methods of teaching foreign languages. The relevance of this study is that every year more and more schools introduce the study of a foreign language into the primary school curriculum. German is in great demand on the world stage, and that is why it is being studied in schools as an additional language, and often as the main one. The authors consider both traditional and modern methods of teaching German.

A dystopia of the sign: dystopian themes in the work of William Gibson

Publisher: name: La Trobe

description: Submission note: A thesis submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts to the School of Humanities and Social Sciences, Faculty of English, La Trobe University, Bundoora.

The presence of dystopian ideas in the work and worlds of William Gibson has been frequently discussed with regard to his first trilogy – the Sprawl trilogy. This thesis discusses the dystopian elements in all three of Gibson’s trilogies. Gibson's colourfully and energetically conjured environments, the violent opposition of forces, the narcissism and self-interest of his protagonists all work to create an atmosphere that is at an environmental and political low point with little hope of correction or elevation. Gibson's second and third trilogies are a continued exploration of dystopia. His physical environments, the socio-political environments he creates, and most significantly the increasing dominance and permeation of media, mediation and worlds where the 'real' has been subsumed by mediated approximations, point to a dystopia darker and less thrilling than in the first trilogy. Referencing Karl Marx, Fredric Jameson, Marshall McLuhan and Jean Baudrillard either by implication or direct reference, Gibson creates a cultural landscape which becomes one with the signified, where technology serves corporate interests and the informational loses relevance and value in the process of exchange. In this thesis it is argued that development of Gibson’s style from a visceral noir science fiction in his first trilogy to detective fiction in his third trilogy serves to more effectively direct the reader's focus on the dystopian. By the Blue Ant trilogy, his worlds are based quite closely on the reader's own: references to terrorism, surveillance and corporate control create an oppressive claustrophobia. The 'lighter' subject matter only serves to illustrate the pervasiveness of the emptiness of contemporary informational exchange, and the relationship of the imposition of the sign to strongholds of corporate power.

MODERN OPTIONS FOR PRESBYOPIA CORRECTION IN PATIENTS WITH COVID-19

description: This review discusses current options of pharmacotherapy in the treatment of patients with age-related refractive disorder - presbyopia - combined with COVID-19 viral infection. Various treatment options are currently being developed to correct presbyopia, but all of them involve either eyeglass correction, or surgical intervention with application of intraocular lenses. Drug therapy in this case is preferable, since it is less cost-effective, and patients comply more readily to this type of treatment. The application of myotics for presbyopia correction, as well as the combinations of myotics and other drugs for additive treatments and side effects reduction are well documented; however, there is no sufficient data on the results of such treatment. Currently, pyrenoxine, being a component of Catalin-eye drops, has been studied in this regard. It prevents the appearance of quinoid compounds in the lens, which lead to a decreased lens elasticity and, accordingly, to the development of presbyopia. The use of Catalin-eye drops in patients with COVID-19 is especially relevant, since this virus appears to be a predictor of metabolic disorders development. It is necessary to further study Pyrenoxine as a substance that effectively reduces risks of presbyopia development.
Including Infant Voice: An integrative literature review

description: The voice of the child is one of the 5 pillars of The Promise (Scottish Government Policy Document, 2020) and a key component of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. The youngest infants are included within the scope of these documents. Infants however are in a unique position when it comes to their rights given their specific vulnerabilities (WAIMH, 2016). For example, they are completely dependent on others and often have minimal contact beyond their home. Plus, we must think about developmentally appropriate ways that we can recognise infants’ non-verbal communications as they share their ‘voice’. The perspective of the infant is at risk of being missed in the design and delivery of the services that work with them. For these reasons, in Scotland, the Infant Mental Health Implementation and Advisory Group (IMH-IAG), accountable to the Perinatal and Infant Mental Health Programme Board (PNIMH-PB), set up a Voice of the Infant subgroup to review approaches and tools to address this gap and develop new guidance if required. This review will inform that work by bringing together the existing evidence and theoretical literature on infants’ rights and how we take infant voice into account. This takes an integrative approach to bring together quantitative, qualitative and theoretical literature. Supplementary material of the Prisma diagram for the search process and the results of papers included in the final review can be found in the associated project (link below).
Compliments and compliment responses: a study of Malay ESL graduates
Creators: name: Abdul Karim, Nor Suharti Binti
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: The present study investigates the semantic formulas used in compliment giving and the strategies in compliment responses in both Malay and English produced by Malay ESL speakers. Using the semantic formula categories, an analysis of more than 2000 compliment tokens obtained from Discourse Completion Task and open roleplays was conducted. It was discovered that explicit compliments were widely used but are often bounded with information questions and requests. Non-formulaic compliments such as teasing in interactions are adopted for the purpose of maintaining solidarity and preservation of face. In relation to compliment responses, it was found that the preferred strategy in Malay compliment response is acceptance, followed by amendment. This is in contrast to the previous literatures in Malay discourse which suggest that rejection is the preferred strategy in compliment response. Such findings seem to reflect a tendency for a shift away from Malay traditional discourse to a more Western style of accepting compliments. However, a much closer investigation revealed that even in accepting a compliment, elements of malu still persist in that Malay speakers maintains a preference to shy away from upgrading the praises or would simply amend the complimentary force conveyed to them. In this way, positive face politeness will be maintained not only between individuals but also with the society and particularly with God which allows for the creation of religious face – another dimension to the framework of politeness principle All of the strategies adopted reflect the intricacies of Malay cultural values in compliment behaviour, particularly niat, malu and ikhlas, which can be interpreted in a form of a cultural-pragmatic model. These discoveries clearly have important implications in cross-cultural communication and in the field of English as an International Language because they provide insights to further enhance the understanding of the socio-pragmatic principles of Malay language use.
“Monstruous Empire”: Queenly Power in Antony and Cleopatra
Creators: name: Neill, Michael
Publisher: name: Skenè. Journal of Theatre and Drama Studies
Year: 2020

description: Taking its cue from John Knox’s famous diatribe against female rule, The Monstruous Regiment of Women (1558), this essay seeks to investigate Shakespeare’s vision of queenly power in Anthony and Cleopatra. Contrasting his Egyptian majesty with figures of female authority in a number of earlier plays, it reads Anthony’s teasing description of that “strange serpent” the crocodile as a key to the play’s treatment of Cleopatra, that “serpent of old Nile”. By virtue of their seeming beyond definition or satisfactory description, both creatures are rendered “strange” or “monstrous” – placed, as it were, outside the bourn of what seems “natural”. But where the monstrous normally incites disgust or horror, in Cleopatra’s case it invites admiration and amazement – a wonder that extends to the magic of theatre itself with its strange power to make real what it admits nevertheless “beggars all description”. Keywords: Amazon; monster; strange; power; triumph

description: The probability that all eigenvalues of a product of $m$ independent $N \times N$ sub-blocks of a Haar distributed random real orthogonal matrix of size $(L_i+N) \times (L_i+N)$, $(i=1,\dots,m)$ are real is calculated as a multi-dimensional integral, and as a determinant. Both involve Meijer G-functions. Evaluation formulae of the latter, based on a recursive scheme, allow it to be proved that for any $m$ and with each $L_i$ even the probability is a rational number. The formulae furthermore provide for explicit computation in small order cases.
