description: Following the UNESCO guidelines for Quality Physical Education, this participatory action research study aimed to explore the potential of a Community of Practice (CoP) to empower both schoolteacher educators and preservice teachers (PSTs) to become practitioners–researchers in order to achieve inclusive practices in Physical Education (PE). This study involved a partnership between a university in North Portugal and four cooperating schools. CoP participants were six teacher educators and four cooperating teachers (CTs) who work with twelve PSTs in the schools where they developed their teaching practices. Data collection included focus groups with CoP members and PSTs, CoP meetings, and school placement meetings. A thematic inductive–deductive analysis revealed that CTs were actively engaged in the CoP, achieving mutual involvement and a shared repertoire, and making friendships beyond the CoP. Becoming practitioners–researchers made CTs more critical of their teaching and supervisory roles. Supporting PSTs to be practitioners–researchers was challenging, mostly due to PSTs’ lack of content knowledge, which made it difficult to identify the students’ problems in engaging with the proposed activities and how to solve them. Both CTs and PSTs highlighted the value of the CoP in gaining confidence and knowledge to improve their teaching to become more inclusive.

description: The data of more than 100 monitoring programs in Germany for the substance group of persistent organic pollutants (POPs), including the polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are to be used for a modelling approach for a PCB inventory.The application landscape of the Federation/Laender POP-Dioxin-Database, which is operated in the German Environment Agency, pursues an interdisciplinary approach and includes all these data. A cross-media evaluation and assessment of environmental data are necessary and relevant to the target system, compiling an inventory of PCBs in our environment. The question arises how the integrated modelling concept can control the knowledge-based methods, with the aim to assess the state of PCB contamination in context to PCB-footprints in the environment.

description: Background Sepsis disproportionately affects children from socioeconomically disadvantaged families in low-resource settings, where care seeking may consume scarce family resources and lead to financial hardships. Those financial hardships may, in turn, contribute to late presentation or failure to seek care and result in high mortality during hospitalization and during the post discharge period, a period of increasingly recognized vulnerability. The purpose of this study is to explore the out-of-pocket costs related to sepsis hospitalizations and post-discharge care among children admitted with sepsis in Uganda. Methods This mixed-methods study was comprised of focus group discussions (FGD) with caregivers of children admitted for sepsis, which then informed a quantitative cross-sectional household survey to measure out-of-pocket costs of sepsis care both during initial admission and during the post-discharge period. All participants were families of children enrolled in a concurrent sepsis study. Results Three FGD with mothers (n = 20) and one FGD with fathers (n = 7) were conducted. Three primary themes that emerged included (1) financial losses, (2) time and productivity losses and (3) coping with costs. A subsequently developed cross-sectional survey was completed for 153 households of children discharged following admission for sepsis. The survey revealed a high cost of care for families attending both private and public facilities, although out-of-pocket cost were higher at private facilities. Half of those surveyed reported loss of income during hospitalization and a third sold household assets, most often livestock, to cover costs. Total mean out-of-pocket costs of hospital care and post-discharge care were 124.50 USD and 44.60 USD respectively for those seeking initial care at private facilities and 62.10 USD and 14.60 USD at public facilities, a high sum in a country with widespread poverty. Conclusions This study reveals that families incur a substantial economic burden in accessing care for children with sepsis.
"Hot" Non-flaring Plasmas in Active Region Cores Heated by Single Nanoflares

Year: 2016

description: We use hydrodynamic modeling tools, including a two-fluid development of the EBTEL code, to investigate the properties expected of "hot" (i.e. between approximately 5 MK and 15 MK) non-flaring plasmas due to nanoflare heating in active regions. Here we focus on single nanoflares and show that while simple models predict an emission measure distribution extending well above 10 MK that is consistent with cooling by thermal conduction, many other effects are likely to limit the existence and detectability of such plasmas. These include: differential heating between electrons and ions, ionization non-equilibrium and, for short nanoflares, the time taken for the coronal density to increase. The most useful temperature range to look for this plasma, often called the "smoking gun" of nanoflare heating, lies between 1 MK and 10 MK. Signatures of the actual heating may be detectable in some instances.

description: Parameterized quantum circuits are the core of new technologies such as variational quantum algorithms and quantum machine learning, which makes studying its properties a valuable task. We implement parameterized circuits with definite and indefinite causal order and compare their performance under particular descriptors. One of these is the expressibility, which measures how uniformly a given quantum circuit can reach the whole Hilbert space. Another property that we focus on this work is the entanglement capability, more specifically the concurrence and the entangling power. We also find the causal relation between the qubits of our system with the quantum average causal effect measure. We have found that indefinite circuits offer expressibility advantages over definite ones while maintaining the level of entanglement generation. Our results also point to the existence of a correlation between the quantum average causal effect and the entangling power.

description: This thesis examines changes in the Australian party system through the theory of partisan realignment, arguing that the emergence and sustained success of the Australian Greens represents a fundamental shift in Australian politics. Drawing from Australian and international studies on realignment and party system reform, the thesis combines historical analysis of Australian party competition with empirical methods utilising existing survey and electoral data on Greens partisan and voter support. The thesis demonstrates that the Australian Greens have emerged as a durable `third force' in Australian politics, reconfiguring the party system in the process.

description: This paper presents the GRBSN webtool, an open-source data repository coupled to a web interface that hosts the most complete dataset of GRB-SN associations to date. In contrast to repositories of supernova (SN) or gamma-ray burst (GRB) data, this tool provides a multi-wavelength view of each GRB-SN association. GRBSN allows users to view and interact with plots of the data; search and filter the whole database; and download radio, X-ray, optical/NIR photometric and spectroscopic data related to a GRB-SN association. The web interface code and GRB-SN data are hosted on a public GitHub repository, allowing users to upload their own data, flag missing data and suggest improvements. The GRBSN webtool will be maintained by the Space Science group at University College Dublin, Ireland. As the number of confirmed GRB-SN associations increases in the coming years, the GRBSN webtool will provide a robust framework in which to catalogue these associations and their associated data. The web interface is available at: https://grbsn.watchertelescope.ie.

Designing Socially Assistive Robots for Paediatric Rehabilitation (In Situ Design for Ongoing Clinical Deployment)
Creators: name: Marti, Felip
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Physical rehabilitation relies on patients adhering to a prescribed rehabilitation programme. This is especially challenging with children, where they often lack an understanding and motivation to comply with their rehabilitation. Socially Assistive Robots are an emerging technology for paediatric health care applications, offering versatility that can target the needs of diverse patient cohorts. While previous research established the potential benefits of robots in rehabilitation, there remains a significant gulf between proof-of-concept and the on-going deployment of the technology. This thesis explored how such robots can be designed and evaluated to deliver rehabilitation for on-going clinical deployment in busy hospital settings.
Antioxidant and Functional Activities of MRPs Derived from Different Sugar–Amino Acid Combinations and Reaction Conditions
Creators: name: Kitts, David D.
Publisher: name: Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute
Year: 2021

description: The Maillard reaction (MR), or non-enzymatic browning, involves reducing sugars reacting with amino acids, peptides, or proteins when heated to produce an abundance of products that contribute to sensory, nutritional, and functional qualities of the food system. One example of an important functional quality of MR relates to antioxidant capacity, which has relevance to preserve food quality and also to extend a potential role that may promote gastrointestinal health. The addition of Alphacel (10%), a non-reactive polysaccharide, to MR reactants produced small significant (p < 0.05) reductions in yield of soluble Maillard reaction products (MRPs), sugar loss, and color change of products formed respectively, for reducing sugars. A similar effect was also noticed for different free-radical scavenging capacity (p < 0.05), using chemical (e.g., 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH)), Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC), and oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) assays. An inflamed Caco-2 cell model revealed nitric oxide (NO) inhibitory activity for Glu-amino acid MRPs, which contrasted the NO stimulatory activity obtained with Fru-amino acid MRPs, especially when glycine was used as the amino acid. Pre-treating Caco-2 cells with Fru-glycine MRPs protected against loss in trans-epithelial resistance (TEER) (p < 0.05) and reduced (p < 0.05) disruption of Caco-2 intestinal epithelial tight-junction (TJ) protein cells when exposed to 7.5% ethanol. A low molecular weight Fru-glycine (e.g., <1 kDa) fraction contributed to the protective effect, not observed with the corresponding high molecular weight MRP fraction. The presence of Alphacel had minimal effect on generating MRPs with relative modified protection against intestinal dysfunction in cultured Caco-2 cells. Rather, different types of sugar–amino acid combinations used to generate MRPs contributed more to mitigate injury in stress-induced Caco-2 cells. With the growing evidence that MRPs have a wide range of bioactive activities, this study concludes that specificity of substrate precursors that produce MRPs in heated foods is a critical factor for antioxidant and related cellular functions that represent a healthy gut.

description: This model assumes that consciousness arises when a recursive system loses its causal separability. The so-called causal collapse describes the transition in which disjoint causal partitioning of the system is no longer possible. Through a corresponding measure of causal entanglement (Σ) and its complement (Ω), consciousness is formally described as a gradual phenomenon that can be modeled across different biological and artificial systems.

description: This paper examines the nature and opportunities of public participation in the environmental impact assessment (EIA) and planning processes in the context of massive expansion of near-shore wind power farms within the next decade in Estonia. The establishment of new wind farms has aroused opposition of the local population as in many other countries. In the present case, we focus on the wind park planned in the sea between Hiiumaa and Saaremaa (Soela Strait), in respect to which we conducted a case study of stakeholders in spring-summer 2014. Purpose of the research is to understand and assess the development of the surroundings in which people live and transformation in connection with the wind park planning, and institutional and individual attitudes and strategies in the processes of informing, involvement, participation and decision-making. The analysis of attitudes is based on social impact assessment: aesthetical, socio-economic and cultural tendencies

description: Time series classification (TSC) task is one of the most significant topics in data mining. Among all methods for this issue, the deep-learning-based shows superior performance for its good adaption to raw series data and automatic extraction of features. However, rare eyes are kept on composing ensembles of these superior individual classifiers to achieve further breakthroughs. The existing deep learning ensembles NNE did a heavy work of combining 60 individuals but did not maximize the deserving improvement, since it merely pays attention to the diversity of individuals but ignores their accuracy. In this paper, we propose to construct an ensemble of Full Convolutional Neural Networks (FCN) by Random Subspace Method (RSM), named RSM-FCN. FCN is a simple but outstanding individual classifier and RSM is suitable for high dimensional data such as time series, but there are few instances. Thus, the combination of these strengths, RSM-FCN provides a highly cost-effective approach to yield promising results. Experiments on the UCR dataset demonstrate the effectiveness and reasonability of the proposed method.

description: In this paper, a study on Mathematics Learning Support (MLS) that was undertaken across three institutes intending to form the Technological University for Dublin is outlined. This study consisted of a survey that was circulated to both staff and students in each of the three institutes. The survey had two objectives. Firstly it sought to identify the students’ needs for MLS in each of the three institutes. Secondly, it sought to ascertain the preferred method of provision of MLS, on a scale ranging from exclusively online, to exclusively in person. Following on the results of this survey it was decided to prototype a virtual MLS drop-in service. The operational details of the prototyping of this virtual drop-in service and the feedback obtained from the students involved are also presented in this paper.
Efficient and Nonintrusive Electropumping of Water in Nanotubes

description: Electropumping uses a rotating electric field to induce a net positive flow of water in confined nanotubes that are functionalized with carboxyl groups. The thesis demonstrates through simulation that electropumping can be achieved in functionalized nanotubes and concentric nanotubes. The continuum equations are solved and shown to correspond to the results obtained though nonequilibrium molecular dynamics. A comparision of average power dissipation is undertaken for Poiseuille, Couette and Electropumping flows and it is shown that while Electropumping is less efficient than Couette it is orders of magnitude more efficient than Poiseuille.

description: Lasers are the workhorse of quantum engineering in the atomic-molecular-optic community. However, phase noise of the laser, which can be especially large in popular semiconductor-based lasers, can limit fidelity of operation. Here, we present a fully-fiberized instrument detecting and correcting the fast, sub-microsecond, phase fluctuations of lasers. We demonstrate a measurement noise floor of less than 0.1 Hz$^{2}$/Hz, and a noise suppression of more than 20 dB for Fourier frequencies in the 1 to 10 MHz region (reaching up to 30 dB at 3 MHz), where noise is critical for Rydberg-based quantum gates. Finally, we observe the improvement offered by this fast phase noise eater on a Raman transition driven by two such stabilized lasers. These measurement and correction techniques are important tools for high-fidelity manipulation of the excited electronic states of atoms and molecules.

description: Vegetated sand dune systems are a relatively rare form of coastline on the Island of Newfoundland (NL), but they provide diverse benefits to regional ecology and human landscape use. Despite their importance to coastal biodiversity and inland protection, few vegetated sand dune systems are located within protected areas in NL. Under little to no protection, many of NL’s dune systems are vulnerable to anthropogenic disturbances (e.g., dune trampling, all-terrain vehicle use). Boreal vegetated dunes, such as those in Atlantic Canada, are also subject to extensive natural disturbances that result from storm and precipitation events. Current climate change projections point to an increase in these types of events in NL, which, combined with the ongoing anthropogenic disturbance regime, may overwhelm the natural rejuvenation process of dune coastlines. Using a protected areas approach, we characterize the vegetation cover, plant community, and disturbance features on NL’s dune systems. Vegetation cover was sparser in unprotected areas, which were also associated with a greater cover of non-endemic plant species. Regardless of protection status, substrate disturbance was also linked with a loss of total vegetation cover across the system. This research provides important empirical findings on the relationship between protected areas status, vegetation cover, plant community, and substrate disturbance on NL’s coastal vegetated dunes, highlighting the need for additional land management initiatives to protect these vulnerable landscapes under the effects of human visitation and climate change.

Herein, a unique multi-helical material combining information from both metallosupramolecular and covalent helical polymers is presented. In this system, the helical structure described by the poly(acetylene) (PA) backbone ('cis-cisoidal', 'cis-transoidal') guides the pendant groups in a fashion where a tilting degree emerges between a pendant and the adjacent ones. As a result, a multi-chiral material is formed comprising four or five axial motifs when the polyene skeleton adopts either a 'cis-transoidal' or 'cis-cisoidal' configuration: the two coaxial helices—internal and external—and the two or three chiral axial motifs described by the bispyridyldichlorido PtII complex array. These results show that complex multi-chiral materials can be obtained by polymerizing appropriate monomers that combine both point chirality and the ability to generate chiral supramolecular assemblies.

description: Purpose: Grey digital divide is becoming a major challenge in today’s world where everyone is expected to be tech savvy in order to use the Internet and digital technologies for everyday living. Vulnerable people, especially older people, encounter several issues with online financial services such as online banking, online shopping, insurance policies, etc. The main purpose of this paper is to identify the factors related to online financial services through literature review and interviews and cluster them in four different sections: human, technology, society and the institutions that provide digital financial services. Design/methodology/approach: Through literature review, this research establishes some of the factors that could act as barriers or facilitators in using digital financial services which leads to the classification of four main areas that are presented visually. Subsequently, 22 semi-structured interviews with older people (those aged 65+) and intermediaries resulted in identifying further factors. Findings: The findings procured from the thematic analysis of 22 semi-structured interviews are mapped onto the four main classified areas to identify the novel and common factors and a conceptual model was formed from this merging process. Originality/value: This type of model has not been developed yet. Hence, this model could be leveraged for undertaking additional research on the interconnections between the factors and investigating to what extent they can positively or negatively influence individuals in the adoption of online financial services.

description: Pterygium is a common ocular surface disorder characterized by proliferation, inflammatory infiltrates, fibrosis, angiogenesis and extracellular matrix breakdown. Epidemiological studies indicate exposure chronic to UVB light as the most important risk factor for the development of pterygium. The Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) is the major component of the Renin-angiotensin system (RAS). It converts the inactive decapeptide Angiotensin I (Ang I) to the active octapeptide Angiotensin II (Ang II). Ang II is the most potent vasoconstrictor and stimulant of the aldosterone release. Recent discoveries have demonstrated that Ang II is also involved in cell proliferation, apoptosis, angiogenesis and tissue fibrosis. Moreover, it acts as growth factor and participates in inflammatory responses. The gene encoding ACE is mapped on chromosome 17q23; it contains 25 introns and 26 exons and shows a polymorphism characterized by the presence (insertion, I) or absence (deletion, D) of a 287-bp Alu sequence of DNA in intron 16. The presence or absence of Alu sequence in the ACE gene leads to the D/D, I/D and I/I genotypes. Novel studies have reported that the absence or presence of specific ACE I/D polymorphisms within ACE gene in several illnesses, such as cardiovascular diseases and breast cancer, can confer increased risk to develop the pathologies. Due to these evidences and the pterygium features, the aim of our study is to evaluate the ACE I/D gene polymorphism type in a group of Sardinia pterygium patients and to establish the possible correlation between ACE-type polymorphism and the development of pterygium in a case-control study.

description: Lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, other queer, and Two-Spirit (LGBTQ2+) people are particularly at risk for the psycho-social consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, though population-tailored research within this context remains limited. This study examines the extent of, and associations between, increased alcohol and cannabis use and deteriorating mental health among LGBTQ2+ adults in Canada during the COVID-19 pandemic. Data are drawn from LGBTQ2+ respondents to a repeated, cross-sectional survey administered to adults living in Canada (May 2020–January 2021). Bivariate cross-tabulations and multivariable logistic regression models were utilized to examine associations between increased alcohol and cannabis use, and self-reported mental health, overall coping, and suicidal thoughts. Five-hundred and two LGBTQ2+ participants were included in this analysis. Of these, 24.5% reported increased alcohol use and 18.5% reported increased cannabis use due to the pandemic. In the adjusted analyses, increased alcohol use was associated with poor overall coping (OR = 2.28; 95% CI = 1.28–4.07) and worse self-reported mental health (OR = 1.98; 95% CI = 1.21–3.25), whereas increased cannabis use was associated with suicidal thoughts (OR = 2.30; 95% CI = 1.16–4.55). These findings underscore the need for population-tailored, integrated substance use and mental health supports to address interrelated increases in alcohol/cannabis use and worsening mental health among LGBTQ2+ adults, in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond.

description: Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging is the gold standard for diagnosing several heart diseases due to its non-invasive nature and proper contrast. MR imaging is time-consuming because of signal acquisition and image formation issues. Prolonging the imaging process can result in the appearance of artefacts in the final image, which can affect the diagnosis. It is possible to speed up CMR imaging using image reconstruction based on deep learning. For this purpose, the high-quality clinical interpretable images can be reconstructed by acquiring highly undersampled k-space data, that is only partially filled, and using a deep learning model. In this study, we proposed a stepwise reconstruction approach based on the Patch-GAN structure for highly undersampled k-space data compatible with the multi-contrast nature, various anatomical views and trajectories of CMR imaging. The proposed approach was validated using the CMRxRecon2024 challenge dataset and outperformed previous studies. The structural similarity index measure (SSIM) values for the first and second tasks of the challenge are 99.07 and 97.99, respectively. This approach can accelerate CMR imaging to obtain high-quality images, more accurate diagnosis and a pleasant patient experience.

Optimal Multivariate Control Chart Designs for Continuous Process Monitoring
Creators: name: Nyau, Siow Yin
Publisher: name: Swinburne

description: In this research, the aim is to investigate ways of designing efficient and effective methods for monitoring continuous processes especially for the manufacturing environment. One of the possible means is through the use of standard process control methodologies such as the multivariate exponentially weighted moving average (MEWMA) control chart. Such control charts have been proven to improve the process efficiencies in continuous manufacturing processes. However, the standard MEWMA chart employs a fixed sample size at equal sampling interval. The drawback of such setting is that the chart developed is slow in detecting shifts in the process' trend when operating in the continuous manufacturing environment. Consequently, this research proposed to investigate the feasibility of adding adaptive sample size or adaptive sampling interval as new features in the MEWMA control chart with the aim to improve the performance of the said chart.
An optimal statistical design of the adaptive MEWMA control chart is done by minimizing the out-of-control performance measure which will be modelled as a nonlinear minimization problem, subjected to some specific constraints, in which the performance measure will be derived by using a Markov chain approach. A new procedure for the optimal design will be provided for both zero and steady-state modes. Based on this new procedure, a heuristic search will be performed to generate the optimal chart parameter combination of the control chart (i.e. smoothing constant, small sample size, large sample size, long sampling interval, short sampling interval, warning limit and control limit) for different desired values of decision variables such as number of quality characteristics, in-control performance measure, in-control average sample size, in-control average sampling interval and process mean shift. This nonlinear constrained optimization algorithm aims at optimizing the statistical performance. This proposed algorithm can assist the end user in both optimally designed and implementing the control chart.
The aforementioned approach will be adopted in the designs of the (i) standard MEWMA control chart; (ii) MEWMA chart with variable sample size (VSS); and (iii) MEWMA chart with variable sampling interval (VSI). After that, the statistical performances of these control charts will be compared in order to check the effectiveness of these control charts in improving process productivity and preventing defects rising to a higher level. Furthermore, percentiles or probabilities of run length distribution will be computed to provide a better understanding of the performance for the said chart and this helps to increase the end user's confidence in using the proposed chart.
