description: Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have shown pivotal regulatory roles in multiple human ocular diseases, including age-related cataract (ARC). Here, we explored the role of circRNA mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase 4 (circMAP3K4, hsa_circ_0078619) in ARC pathology and its associated mechanism. The expression of RNAs and proteins was examined by reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and western blot assay. Cell viability, senescence, proliferation, and apoptosis were analyzed by 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay, senescence-associated-β-galactosidase (SA-β-Gal) staining, 5-ethynyl-20-deoxyuridine (EdU) assay, and flow cytometry. The oxidative stress status of SRA01/04 cells was analyzed using the commercial kits. The interaction between microRNA-193a-3p (miR-193a-3p) and circMAP3K4 or phospholipase C delta 3 (PLCD3) was verified by dual-luciferase reporter assay, RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) assay, and RNA-pull down assay. CircMAP3K4 was significantly down-regulated in ARC patients and H2O2-induced SRA01/04 cells. H2O2 treatment restrained the viability and proliferation and promoted the senescence, apoptosis, and oxidative stress of SRA01/04 cells, and circMAP3K4 overexpression protected SRA01/04 cells from H2O2-induced dysfunction. MiR-193a-3p was a direct target of circMAP3K4, and circMAP3K4 overexpression-mediated protective effects in H2O2-induced SRA01/04 cells were largely reversed by the accumulation of miR-193a-3p. MiR-193a-3p interacted with the 3’ untranslated region (3’UTR) of PLCD3, and PLCD3 knockdown largely overturned miR-193a-3p silencing-induced protective effects in H2O2-induced SRA01/04 cells. CircMAP3K4 up-regulated the expression of PLCD3 via sponging miR-193a-3p in SRA01/04 cells. In conclusion, circMAP3K4 protected SRA01/04 cells from H2O2-induced dysfunction in ARC through mediating miR-193a-3p/PLCD3 axis.
Teacher development as enhancing descriptive intelligibility
Creators: name: Yaxley, BG
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The purpose of this study is to develop a general approach to planning, conducting and evaluating teacher development programmes. It is based on a case study of a teacher development programme for which the central problem is describing effective teaching and learning, intelligibly. Teacher development, defined as the enhancement of this intelligibility, is essential to improving teacher effectiveness. The problem of planning, conducting and evaluating this programme is considered in terms of the following constituent problems: (i) Planning and conducting the programme (P1); (ii) Developing the reading content for the programme (P2); (iii)Monitoring and assessing the changes in intelligibility of the programme participants' descriptions of effective teaching and learning (P3); (iv) Evaluating the effectiveness of the programme (P4); Assuming a holistic epistemology, the implications of applying both a touchstone approach to theory development and Kelly's (1955) Personal Construct Theory to the solution of the above problems are considered. This yields two sets of implications for each of the constituent problems. By applying a touchstone approach to these sets of implications, a theoretical and procedural basis for the study of these problems, and hence for the planning, conduct and evaluation of the teacher development programme, is obtained. This basis is used to develop the reading content for the programme, plan and conduct the programme and to evaluate the effectiveness of the programme in meeting its purposes. These evaluations are used to establish the procedures used as a general approach to teacher development programmes. In this case, teacher development means the enhancement of the intelligibility of descriptions of solutions to the problem being studied through this programme.

description: To meet the requirements of time-frequency networks and enable frequency downloadability for nodes along the link, we demonstrated the extraction of stable frequency signals at nodes using a mode-locked laser under the condition of 100 km laboratory fiber. The node consists of a simple structure that utilizes widely used optoelectronic devices and enables plug-and-play applications. In addition, the node can recover frequency signals with multiple frequencies, which are useful for scenarios that require different frequencies. Here, we experimentally demonstrated a short-term frequency instability of $2.83\times {{10}^{-13}}$@1 s and a long-term frequency instability of $1.18\times {{10}^{-15}}$@10,000 s at the node, which is similar to that at the remote site of the frequency transfer system. At the same time, frequency signals with different frequencies also achieved stable extraction with the same performance at the node. Our results can support the distributed application under large-scale time-frequency networks.

An analysis of the evolution of the IELTS test and an investigation of its face validity

Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania

description: First, the purpose of this study was to analyse the evolution of the International English Language Testing System (IELTS), an internationally recognized language proficiency test, within the context of developments in language proficiency testing in the last decade. Approaches to the validation of language proficiency tests are discussed with particular reference to face val.idity and washback validity. Second, the purpose of this study was to determine the face validity of the IEL TS test from an investigation into international students' perceptions of the test. To these ends, a questionnaire was administered at the University of Tasmania to international students (n=40) who had taken an IELTS test. A focus group interview was also conducted with students who had taken both the IELTS test and the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). It was found that the IELTS test generally had high face validity amongst the sample of international students in this study. Positive washback effects appeared to reinforce the face validity of the IELTS. Test preparation was perceived to be relevant to the target situation of academic study. It was also found that an English language proficiency score of IELTS Band 6 may be an unrealistic minimum entry level in meeting the linguistic demands of some courses of study at the University of Tasmania. Tentative conclusions from this study suggest that both the overall band score and the diagnostic profile of IELTS test results should be examined carefully when admitting international students to tertiary institutions. In addition, there are also non-linguistic factors which can affect the potential academic success of international students. Recommendations concerning the key role of English language support and study skills courses conclude this study.
The Fallacy of Borda Count Method -- Why it is Useless with Group Intelligence and Shouldn't be Used with Big Data including Banking Customer Services

description: Borda Count Method is an important theory in the field of voting theory. The basic idea and implementation methodology behind the approach is simple and straight forward. Borda Count Method has been used in sports award evaluations and many other scenarios, and therefore is an important aspect of our society. An often ignored ground truth is that online cultural rating platforms such as Douban.com and Goodreads.com often adopt integer rating values for large scale public audience, and therefore leading to Poisson/Pareto behavior. In this paper, we rely on the theory developed by Wang from 2021 to 2023 to demonstrate that online cultural rating platform rating data often evolve into Poisson/Pareto behavior, and individualistic voting preferences are predictable without any data input, so Borda Count Method (or, Range Voting Method) has intrinsic fallacy and should not be used as a voting theory method.

description: The promising improvement in compression efficiency of Versatile Video Coding (VVC) compared to High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) comes at the cost of a non-negligible encoder side complexity. The largely increased complexity overhead is a possible obstacle towards its industrial implementation. Many papers have proposed acceleration methods for VVC. Still, a better understanding of VVC complexity, especially related to new partitions and coding tools, is desirable to help the design of new and better acceleration methods. For this purpose, statistical analyses have been conducted, with a focus on Coding Unit (CU) sizes and inter coding modes.

description: We report on the detection of a population of weak metal-line absorbers in the halo or nearby intergalactic environment of the Milky Way. Using high-resolution ultraviolet absorption-line spectra of bright QSOs obtained with the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS), along six sight lines we have observed unsaturated, narrow absorption in OI and SiII together with mildly saturated CII absorption at high radial velocities (|v_LSR|=100-320 km/s). The measured OI column densities are small, implying that these structures represent Lyman-Limit Systems and sub-Lyman-Limit System with HI column densities < 3x10^18 cm^-2, thus below the detection limits of current 21cm all-sky surveys of high-velocity clouds (HVCs). The absorbers apparently are not directly associated with any of the large high-column density HVC complexes, but rather represent isolated, partly neutral gas clumps embedded in a more tenuous, ionized gaseous medium situated in the halo or nearby intergalactic environment of the Galaxy. We speculate that this absorber population represents the local analog of weak MgII systems that are commonly observed in the circumgalactic environment of low- and high-redshift galaxies.

A planning strategy for water supply within vacation areas of the Gulf Islands : Hornby - a case study
Creators: name: Lubkowski, Albert Otto
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: This thesis was prepared in response to growing public concern over potential problems of groundwater development within newly subdivided areas of the Gulf Islands. These "problems" stem from provincial regulations which permit large scale subdivision of residential lots over 18,000 square feet without reference to water supply. The Study strives to resolve conflicting opinions presented on behalf of the public, planners and other government officials as to what constitutes an appropriate policy for water servicing within vacation areas of the Gulf Islands. A chief problem in this regard is the lack of official posture defining objectives for vacation lot subdivision. While the focus of this investigation is primarily groundwater supply and the question of standards for vacation areas, the writer was necessarily drawn into several related areas of concern; namely, those environmental problems arising from water use and waste water disposal; development plans of lot owners and associated preferences for servicing; and inevitably, the legal-bureaucratic hoops and powers which comprise the subdivision process. Study findings support the thesis hypothesis that "organized systems of water supply are an appropriate requirement for those lands which are being subdivided for vacation use purposes". The sub-hypothesis that "the servicing requirements for such systems should be sufficiently flexible to permit if not encourage rudimentary systems if water supply was vindicated also--but only on the condition that groundwater supplies are relied upon and on-site disposal systems are in use. The underlying concern with "rudimentary" servicing is based upon the realization that such servicing policies can be most instrumental in restraining year around development and the urban transformations usually implied. The thesis is based on the belief that the vacation use function and the life style and environment implied can only be preserved if distinctive servicing policies are introduced by regional districts concerned. Their responsible involvement would enable people to continue "to go to a place which is different from the place they left".

description: Federated Learning (FL) is a decentralized machine learning (ML) technique that allows a number of participants to train an ML model collaboratively without having to share their private local datasets with others. When participants are unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), UAV-enabled FL would experience heterogeneity due to the majorly skewed (non-independent and identically distributed -IID) collected data. In addition, UAVs may demonstrate unintentional misbehavior in which the latter may fail to send updates to the FL server due, for instance, to UAVs' disconnectivity from the FL system caused by high mobility, unavailability, or battery depletion. Such challenges may significantly affect the convergence of the FL model. A recent way to tackle these challenges is client selection, based on customized criteria that consider UAV computing power and energy consumption. However, most existing client selection schemes neglected the participants' reliability. Indeed, FL can be targeted by poisoning attacks, in which malicious UAVs upload poisonous local models to the FL server, by either providing targeted false predictions for specifically chosen inputs or by compromising the global model's accuracy through tampering with the local model. Hence, we propose in this paper a novel client selection scheme that enhances convergence by prioritizing fast UAVs with high-reliability scores, while eliminating malicious UAVs from training. Through experiments, we assess the effectiveness of our scheme in resisting different attack scenarios, in terms of convergence and achieved model accuracy. Finally, we demonstrate the performance superiority of the proposed approach compared to baseline methods.

description: We revisit a problem of theoretical description of alpha-iron. By performing LDA+DMFT calculations in the paramagnetic phase we find that Coulomb interaction and, in particular Hund exchange, yields the formation of local moments in e_g electron band, which can be traced from imaginary time dependence of the spin-spin correlation function. This behavior is accompanied by non-Fermi-liquid behavior of e_g electrons and suggests using local moment variables in the effective model of iron. By investigating orbital-selective contributions to the Curie-Weiss law for Hund exchange I=0.9 eV we obtain an effective value of local moment of e_g electrons 2p=1.04 mu_B. The effective bosonic model, which allows to describe magnetic properties of iron near the magnetic phase transition, is proposed.

The use of data based algorithms is more and more common in the daily lives of professional rugby teams. Many performance aspects may be studied: from physical preparation using GPS to analyze physical load, to video analysis of games but also medical and wellness data. It is now crucial to use all this data to give the staff insights into their team but also their opponents. Data from other teams is more and more accessible through data providers which analyze all match video recording to extract information of interest, such as the timelines provided by OptaTM. Moreover, the manner to analyze such data to better understand the strengths and weaknesses of the opponents remains essential. Thus the aim of the study was to proposer an unsupervised learning method to gather teams which had a similar style of play in order to analyze them more easily and to understand the strengths and weaknesses of an opponent's game.

description: Fiber-delay measurement is one of the key fundamental technologies in numerous fields. Here we propose and experimentally demonstrate a high-precision and concise optical time delay measurement system based on the technique of linear optical sampling, reaching the precision better than 100 fs under averaging. The use of only two optical frequency combs without locking the carrier-envelope-offset frequency greatly simplifies the structure of the time-delay measurement system. We also experimentally investigate the current limitations on the precision of the system. The timing jitter noises of two sources are mainly non-common mode, and are both restricted to the frequency sources. Our results indicate that the proposed device can measure fiber length fluctuations below 10 $μ{\rm{m}}$, paving the way for further analyses of the external disturbances on the fiber link.

description: Let $Σ$ be a surface of negative Euler characteristic together with a pants decomposition $¶$. Kra's plumbing construction endows $Σ$ with a projective structure as follows. Replace each pair of pants by a triply punctured sphere and glue, or `plumb', adjacent pants by gluing punctured disk neighbourhoods of the punctures. The gluing across the $i^{th}$ pants curve is defined by a complex parameter $τ_i \in \C$. The associated holonomy representation $ρ: π_1(Σ) \to PSL(2,\C)$ gives a projective structure on $Σ$ which depends holomorphically on the $τ_i$. In particular, the traces of all elements $ρ(γ), γ\in π_1(Σ)$, are polynomials in the $τ_i$. Generalising results proved in previous papers for the once and twice punctured torus respectively, we prove a formula giving a simple linear relationship between the coefficients of the top terms of $ρ(γ)$, as polynomials in the $τ_i$, and the Dehn-Thurston coordinates of $γ$ relative to $¶$. This will be applied elsewhere to give a formula for the asymptotic directions of pleating rays in the Maskit embedding of $Σ$ as the bending measure tends to zero.

description: The extragalactic background light (EBL) from the infrared to the ultraviolet is difficult to measure directly, but can be constrained with a variety of methods. EBL photons absorb gamma-rays from distant blazars, allowing one to use blazar spectra from atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes (ACTs) to put upper limits on the EBL by assuming a blazar source spectrum. Here we apply a simple technique, similar to the one developed by Schroedter (2005), to the most recent very-high energy (VHE) gamma-ray observations of blazars to put upper limits on the EBL energy density. This technique is independent of the EBL model and has well-defined errors on the constraints. Our results are consistent with EBL measurements and constraints but marginally inconsistent with several EBL models.

description: The origin of the bimodality in cluster core entropy is still unknown. At the same time, recent work has shown that thermal conduction in clusters is likely a time-variable phenomenon. We consider if time-variable conduction and AGN outbursts could be responsible for the cool-core (CC), non cool-core (NCC) dichotomy. We show that strong AGN heating can bring a CC cluster to a NCC state, which can be stably maintained by conductive heating from the cluster outskirts. On the other hand, if conduction is shut off by the heat-flux driven buoyancy instability, then the cluster will cool to the CC state again, where it is stabilized by low-level AGN heating. Thus, the cluster cycles between CC and NCC states. In contrast with massive clusters, we predict the CC/NCC bimodality should vanish in groups, due to the lesser role of conductive heating there. We find tentative support from the distribution of central entropy in groups, though firm conclusions require a larger sample carefully controlled for selection effects.

The method of logistic regression, being an application of generalised linear modelling, was used to correlate species' occurrence with environment. Preliminary analyses tested sampling adequacy in terms of ecological variability and species' ranges, and derived environmental indices that could be directly related to plant physiological processes. Subsequent realised mche models were derived for the distribution of E. globulus in eastern regions of Tasmania considering biotic and abiotic attributes as predictors and relative dominance as a response in addition to occurrence. Different aspects of the ecology of this species were explored by considering response variables defined by vegetation class or pure and mixed stand occurrences of E. globulus and related species from the series Viminales. The results of these predictive models were displayed as nested, univariate responses along environmental gradients, representing a direct gradient analysis that facilitated their interpretation in terms of ecological theory and plant physiological processes.

description: This resource is a single blog post created as part of the Day of Archaeology initiative. The Day of Archaeology project aimed to provide a window into the daily lives of archaeologists from all over the world. The project asked people working, studying or volunteering in the archaeological world to participate in a 'Day of Archaeology' each year by recording their day and sharing it through text, images or video on the Day of Archaeology blog.
The project asked anyone with a personal, professional or voluntary interest in archaeology to get involved, and help highlight the reasons why archaeology is vital to protect the past and inform our futures. The resulting Day of Archaeology project archive demonstrates the wide variety of work the archaeological profession undertakes day-to-day across the globe, and helps to raise public awareness of the relevance and importance of archaeology to the modern world.
The first ever Day of Archaeology was held in 2011 and, since then, the project had thousands of archaeologists take part in the event, from those working in the field through to specialists working in laboratories and behind computers. The last Day of Archaeology was on Friday 28th July 2017.
The impact of work-related distress, including indirect trauma, on emergency telecommunicators, and social prescribers

description: Background: Emergency Telecommunicators (ETs) and Social Prescribers (SPs) hear distressing stories as part of their work to connect people with the help they need. Whether these stories are current or historical, hearing them can lead to developing work-related distress, including secondary, or indirect trauma.Methods: A systematic review synthesised studies reporting prevalence and predictor variables relating to ET work-related distress. Meanwhile, qualitative research explored the psychological impact of social prescribing, including potential indirect trauma, how this impact is managed, and SP support needs.Results: Nineteen studies revealed ETs reporting higher than norm rates of stress, post-traumatic stress disorder, secondary trauma, depression, and suicidal ideation. Predictors included nature of work-shifts/calls, regularity/type of traumatic exposure, and stress levels.While interviews with eight SPs found several themes of psychological impact, including links to indirect trauma, how SPs manage these, and what additional support/resources might benefit SPs.Discussion: ETs work in highly reactive, demanding environments encountering distressing situations daily, with increased risk of work-related distress, higher than the general population. Further research is needed around secondary trauma and compassion fatigue, using standardised measures, to better support ETs.Similarly, SPs experience high workload, lacking standardised training/support, working with clients in distress. SPs experience work-related psychological impact, with links to indirect trauma. Increasing access to clinical supervision and implementing standardised training and support programs for SPs could help ameliorate the impact on SPs.

description: Among newly discovered M2, M5 objects in the Bagger-Lambert-Gustavsson theory, our interest is about half BPS vortices which are covariantly holomorphic curves in transverse coordinates. We restrict ourselves to the case where the global symmetry is broken to so(2) x so(2)x so(4) for the mass deformed Bagger-Lambert theory. A localized object with finite energy exists in this theory where the mass parameter supports regularity. It is time independent but carries angular momentum coming solely from the gauge potential by which the energy is bounded below.

The perception of crowding in outdoor recreation
Creators: name: McHardy, Pauline Sydney
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The hypothesis tested in this thesis is that parks in the Lower Fraser Valley are crowded, that visitors perceive this crowding and, as a result, the recreational experience of the visitors has diminished. Cultus Lake and Golden Ears Provincial Parks in the Lower Fraser Valley were chosen as the parks in which the study was to be conducted. Information about perception of crowding and other factors affecting perception was solicited from both campers and day users at the park in the period July-August, 1971. Information was collected through the use of a questionnaire. Several multi-variate data analysis techniques were applied to the resultant data. The object of the analysis was to find out which socio-economic variables were significantly related to perception of crowding and if perception of crowding was related to an objective measure of the environment. The measure was density. In addition, an attempt was made to find out if the traditional concept of user groups is a meaningful way of looking at visitors when perceptions and satisfaction of visitors is the issue being studied. The research analysis revealed that perception of crowding exists to a greater extent among day users than among campers; that perception of crowding was related to density among day users. The analysis further revealed that the traditional concept of user groups, i.e., fishing, hiking, etc., offers little by way of categorizing users when perception is the object of study, since individuals in the same user group perceive crowding differently. The analysis also revealed that there is a need for more intensive research so as to reveal factors significant in influencing perception of crowding in the recreational environment.

Democracy denied : civil society and illiberal democracy in Hong Kong
Creators: name: Thomas, ND

description: This dissertation is an analysis of the social and political transformation of Hong Kong, primarily focusing upon the period 1984-1997. This was a period marked by the mobilisation and politicisation of the Hong Kong people. This study adopts a three-tiered conceptual model of political systems to explain the transformation of Hong Kong during this period. This model, first proposed by Claus Offe, describes a system where political activity is the result of the combination of an indigenous identity based upon a nation-state and an operating system that determines how the nation-state will function. Against this model I examine two overarching issues and their effect on Hong Kong's social and political processes: the economic modernisation of the territory and the July 1 retrocession. The consequent tensions created will be shown to have played a decisive role in the unique development of Hong Kong's social and political systems. Using Offe's model, I argue that Hong Kong has developed into a territory with a distinct and separate political identity. This is determined to be the byproduct of the sporadic development of both a local identity and a socio-political operating system conducive to political expression. The transition period focused and accelerated these developments. This dissertation differs from existing work in that it is shown that the political outcome of the transition period (had it been allowed to reach a \conclusion\" without intervention from China) would not have been a liberal-democratic polity. This conclusion is drawn from a reinterpretation of the first phase of liberalisation (1984-1989) which demonstrates that the social and political liberalisation that occurred in Hong Kong was a result of the actions of the Hong Kong state rather than the result of grassroots activity. In contrast the second phase of liberalisation (1989-1997) saw a withdrawal by the colonial state that allowed pressure from the grassroots to direct the development of the transitional state. However the grassroots were not homogenous in their political affiliation - as they supported both democratic and pro-China representation. The resultant political system was thus a reflection of these two conflicting affiliations. I conclude that the type of politicisation Hong Kong has experienced is conducive to the development of a middle path - between the Western liberal-democratic model and the East Asian variant of authoritarianism. This will be the combined result of a social structure based upon liberal-democratic ideals but also of a political system incorporating important authoritarian features. The degree to which future socio-political developments will advance Hong Kong's unique model of political evolution will depend on the extent to which these two contrasting influences remain balanced."
