Social influence and radicalization: a social data analytics study
Creators: name: Hashemi, Vahid Moraveji
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: The confluence of technological and societal advances is changing the nature of global terrorism. For example, engagement with Web, social media, and smart devices has the potential to affect the mental behavior of the individuals and influence extremist and criminal behaviors such as Radicalization. In this context, social data analytics (i.e., the discovery, interpretation, and communication of meaningful patterns in social data) and influence maximization (i.e., the problem of finding a small subset of nodes in a social network which can maximize the propagation of influence) has the potential to become a vital asset to explore the factors involved in influencing people to participate in extremist activities. To address this challenge, we study and analyze the recent work done in influence maximization and social data analytics from effectiveness, efficiency and scalability viewpoints. We introduce a social data analytics pipeline, namely iRadical, to enable analysts to engage with social data to explore the potential for online radicalization. In iRadical, we present algorithms to analyse the social data as well as the user activity patterns to learn how influence flows in social networks. We implement iRadical as an extensible architecture that is publicly available on GitHub and present the evaluation results.

description: A large sample of over 38,000 chromospherically active candidate solar-like stars and cooler dwarfs from the RAVE survey is addressed in this paper. An improved activity identification with respect to the previous study was introduced to build a catalog of field stars in the Solar neighborhood with an excess emission flux in the calcium infrared triplet wavelength region. The central result of this work is the calibration of the age--activity relation for the main sequence dwarfs in a range from a few $10 \; \mathrm{Myr}$ up to a few Gyr. It enabled an order of magnitude age estimation of the entire active sample. Almost 15,000 stars are shown to be younger than $1\;\mathrm{Gyr}$ and $\sim$2000 younger than $100\;\mathrm{Myr}$. The young age of the most active stars is confirmed by their position off the main sequence in the $J-K$ versus $N_{UV}-V$ diagram showing strong ultraviolet excess, mid-infrared excess in the $J-K$ versus $W_1-W_2$ diagram and very cool temperatures ($J-K>0.7$). They overlap with the reference pre-main sequence RAVE stars often displaying X-ray emission. The activity level increasing with the color reveals their different nature from the solar-like stars and probably represents an underlying dynamo generating magnetic fields in cool stars. 50\% of the RAVE objects from DR5 are found in the TGAS catalog and supplemented with accurate parallaxes and proper motions by Gaia. This makes the database of a large number of young stars in a combination with RAVE's radial velocities directly useful as a tracer of the very recent large-scale star formation history in the Solar neighborhood. The data are available online in the Vizier database.

SEXISM IN ENGLISH TEXTBOOKS: A CRITICAL DISCOURSE ANALYSIS
Creators: name: Ana Paula Prestes de Moraes
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: The present study aims to analyze the unit 4B of the English as Second Language Book American English File, entitled “That’s a cool car!”, in terms of critical discourse analysis, based on Fairclough 2003’ theory. The author proposes that social practices are built by a system of ideologies that supposedly represent society. In this perspective, applying CDA’s theory to the unit, it will be possible to visualize how the language chosen by the book’s authors shape social practices, concerning the theme of sexism in teaching English. The main focus of this analysis will be considering Fairclough’s concepts of Ideology and Assumptions, where through discourse it is possible to identify the disseminated assumption that women prefer cars for their colors and practicality, whereas men prefer fast and expensive cars, which propagates an ideology of sexism. Finally, adaptations of exercises are presented in order to develop students’ critical thinking about this matter.

description: Global optimization of atomistic structure rely on the generation of new candidate structures in order to drive the exploration of the potential energy surface (PES) in search for the global minimum energy (GM) structure. In this work, we discuss a type of structure generation, which locally optimizes structures in complementary energy (CE) landscapes. These landscapes are formulated temporarily during the searches as machine learned potentials (MLPs) using local atomistic environments sampled from collected data. The CE landscapes are deliberately incomplete MLPs that rather than mimicking every aspect of the true PES are sought to become much smoother, having only few local minima. This means that local optimization in the CE landscapes may facilitate identification of new funnels in the true PES. We discuss how to construct the CE landscapes and we test their influence on global optimization of a reduced rutile SnO2(110)-(4x1) surface, and an olivine (Mg2SiO4)4 cluster for which we report a new global minimum energy structure.

Spatial learning and memory retention in intertidal gobies
Creators: name: Carbia, Penelope
Publisher: name: Macquarie University

Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: It is well understood that an individual’s learning capabilities and memory retention are strongly influenced by their environment. In a stable environment with little physical change, a longer memory span would be favoured. In contrast, a shorter memory span would be better suited in a constantly changing environment. The physical characteristics of an environment are also believed to mould what learning strategies an individual will use, such as learning the location of certain landmarks. This study investigates the learning and memory capabilities of four marine goby species found along the east coast of New South Wales. Two of these species are rock pool specialists while the other two occur in the flat sand areas of the intertidal zone. After a brief rest period following tagging, the gobies were introduced into a t-maze with no landmarks and trained to choose the right hand end for a food reward. Each individual was then randomly assigned to either a one month, two week or one week retrial group to test memory retention. The results suggest rock pool species learned the task faster than sand specialists, while turn choice appears to return to random within one month in all species.

description: Recently, there has been renewed interest in studies of criticality in the spin quantum Hall effect, realized in the Altland-Zirnbauer symmetry class C of disordered, noninteracting fermions in two spatial dimensions. In our study, we develop a nonperturbative analysis of the replica two-dimensional nonlinear sigma model in class C. We explicitly construct the instanton solution with a unit topological charge. By treating fluctuations around the instanton at the Gaussian level, we calculate the instanton correction to the disorder-averaged logarithm of the partition function. We compute non-perturbative corrections to the anomalous dimensions of pure power-law scaling local operators, which determine the spectrum of generalized multifractality. We also calculate instanton corrections to the renormalized longitudinal and Hall spin conductivities and determine the topology of the phase diagram for class C. Our results demonstrate that the spin quantum Hall effect is indeed a close cousin of the integer quantum Hall effect.

High altitude star formation and the superbubble connection

Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: The thesis is a case study of “Carina Flare” (GSH 287+04–17) – a supershell with significant quantities of associated molecular gas. Since prior studies of the supershell provide substantial evidence of the Galactic Plane blowout, with the highest associated molecular cloud detected ~ 400 pc above the Galactic midplane, it serves as a perfect candidate to investigate the extent of star formation in a small sample of high-altitude clouds. We probe the selected molecular clouds lining the walls of this superstructure using the carbon monosulfide (J = 1 > 0) rotational transition as a tracer of dense gas clumps. Virial analysis of the detected dense clumps tentatively suggests that most of them maybe gravitationally bound and possess a significant potential to collapse to stellar cores. We use the classification scheme for young stellar objects (YSOs) devised by Koenig et al. (2014) combining WISE and 2MASS near and mid-infrared colors and magnitudes to locate YSOs associated with the molecular clouds and investigate their distribution with respect to CS clumps. The close association between the dense gas and YSOs provides substantial evidence in support of on-going star formation activity in the Carina Flare molecular clouds.

description: Following two recent papers [Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys. 2015, \textbf{17}, 3196; Mol. Phys. 2015, \textbf{113}, 1843], we perform a larger-scale study of chemical structure in one dimension (1D). We identify a wide, and occasionally surprising, variety of stable 1D compounds (from diatomics to tetra-atomics) as well as a small collection of stable polymeric structures. We define the exclusion potential, a 1D analogue of the electrostatic potential, and show that it can be used to rationalise the nature of bonding within molecules. This allows us to construct a small set of simple rules which can predict whether a putative 1D molecule should be stable.

description: Abstract

The rise of India as a modern economic superpower in the twenty-first century stems from its demographic power along with policy reforms as well as innovations in technology and global strategic connections. The rise of India from its rural base economy in 1947 has led to its position as the fifth-largest nominal GDP nation and the third-largest economy when using PPP metrics while demonstrating remarkable strength and variety in its transformation. The paper investigates multiple contributing elements behind India's economic development. The 1991 economic reform policies function as the main catalyst driving foreign investments and industrial growth and global market competitiveness. India benefits from its huge workforce of young adults exceeding 65% to obtain both demographic benefits that enhance productivity and foster innovation. Indian growth in information technology along with its services led to an important breakthrough for digital talent and outsourcing operations. The domestic business landscape and entrepreneurial ecosystem received more energy through government initiatives such as the Make in India program combined with the Digital India project and the Startup India scheme. The present expansion comes with multiple challenges. Several impediments including socioeconomic inequality along with inadequate infrastructure and inefficient bureaucracy and environmental issues stop sustainable development from taking place. Despite numerous obstacles India continues to advance strategically because its diplomatic stance in global politics strengthens alongside its growing middle class and expanding international forum influence. The article demonstrates that India's economic superpower transformation remains in progress yet the strong progress achieved through the previous thirty years creates a solid basis for continued advancement. The paper applies data analytics and policy recommendations to explain how India transforms its domestic economy and transforms the worldwide economic structure.

description: This article aims to analyze a conceptual model composed of the variables motivation to buy, motivation to offer gifts and compulsive consumerism at Christmas time. In order to achieve the proposed objective, a quantitative methodology based on a questionnaire survey was used. The sample consists of 1086 Portuguese individuals, over 18 years old. To evaluate the model, structural equation modeling with partial least squares was used. The results show that the motivations to buy and to offer gifts positively influence compulsive consumerism at Christmas time, and that the motivation to buy positively influences the motivation to offer gifts at Christmas time. The model also demonstrates that the motivation to offer gifts plays a mediating role in the relationship between the motivation to buy and compulsive consumerism. In Portugal there are no known studies on the motivations for offering gifts at Christmas. The present study can help academics, researchers and professionals (managers of consumer goods companies, commercial managers and advertising campaign managers) to better understand the motivations for buying and offering gifts, and the compulsive consumerism of the Portuguese population at Christmas time.

description: The characters of parafermionic conformal field theories are given by the string functions of affine algebras, which are either twisted or untwisted algebras. Expressions for these characters as generalized Rogers Ramanujan algebras have been established for the untwisted affine algebras. However, we study the identities for the string functions of twisted affine Lie algebras. Conjectures for the string functions was proposed by Hatayama et al., for the unit fields, which expresses the string functions as Rogers Ramanujan type sums. Here we propose to check the Hatayama et al. conjecture, using Lie algebraic theoretic methods. We use Freudenthal's formula, which we computerized, to verify the identities for all the algebras at low rank and low level. We find complete agreement with the conjecture.

description: Applying the connection between the parton Wigner distribution and orbital angular momentum (OAM), we investigate the probe of the gluon OAM in hard scattering processes at the planned electron-ion collider. We show that the single longitudinal target-spin asymmetry in the hard diffractive dijet production is very sensitive to the gluon OAM distribution. The associated spin asymmetry leads to a characteristic azimuthal angular correlation of $\sin(ϕ_q -ϕ_Δ)$, where $ϕ_Δ$ and $ϕ_q$ are the azimuthal angles of the proton momentum transfer and the relative transverse momentum between the quark-antiquark pair. This study will enable a first measurement of the gluon OAM in the proton spin sum rule.

description: Small biospecific peptides with defined chemical structure and cellular responses are promising alternatives to full-length therapeutic proteins. Identification of these peptides solely or in combination with other bioactive factors and determination of their targets are of substantial interest in current drug delivery research. This study is aimed at the development of new liposomal formulations of ECM-derived GHK peptide known for its multiple regeneration-related activities but poorly recognized cellular targets. In situ association of membranotropic GHK derivative with unilamellar liposomes was performed to prepare GHK-modified liposomes with defined properties. According to DLS, the GHK component on the liposomal surface interacted with heparin in a specific manner compared to other polysaccharides and RGD counterpart, whereas ITC analysis of such interactions was complicated. The results provide a useful tool for screening of bio-interactions of synthetic peptide-presenting liposomes by the DLS technique. They were also employed to produce a multi-functional nanosized GHK-heparin covering for liposomes. The resulting composite liposomes possessed low size dispersity, increased anionic charge, and mechanical rigidity. The heparin component significantly promoted the accumulation of GHK-modified liposomes in 3T3 fibroblasts so that the composite liposomes exhibited the highest cell-penetrating activity. Furthermore, the latter formulation stimulated cell proliferation and strongly inhibited ROS production and GSH depletion under oxidative stress conditions. Together, the results support that cell-surface glycosaminoglycans can be involved in GHK-mediated liposomal delivery, which can be further greatly enhanced by association with heparin. The composite liposomes with GHK-heparin covering can be considered as an advanced GHK-based formulation for therapeutic and cosmeceutical applications.

description: The study presents a discussion regarding the component elements of the information flow in management platforms. The field research was conducted in two education institutions, with different management structures and technologies, chosen intentionally. The research is classified as descriptive, with a qualitative analysis approach of the data collected through semi-structured questionnaires with developers and managers of platforms and a non-participant observation of extranets and intranets with focus on flows and informational connections in users views. The construction of data collection instruments considered four common variables to the platforms: organizational content, deck designer and layout, access and informational movement. To map the information flows in different sections and subsections of the management platform, we used the Content Management Method and Infomapping. Results were based on the interrelation of these variables in the dynamics of information flows, identifying facilitators and connection breaks informational flow. The results indicate a partial order and break the connections of information flows in information systems that comprise the management platforms studied and the gap between a two-dimensional information system and the three-dimensionality with multiple connections of information. As facilitators record the results that the use of Information Engineering elements can contribute to the mobility of the information flow. Key words: Information Systems. Information Flow.

Policy, politics and place: the transformation of the New South Wales coal industry after 1980

description: This thesis undertakes an economic and social history of the NSW Coal industry since 1980 - a significant research gap - taking a deductive and multidisciplinary approach combining a systematic quantitative and qualitative economic history with spatial and policy history. The thesis has twin aims. The first aim is to historicise how Government resource policy and governance, have been the hand-maiden of development, shaping and steering adaptive but reactive policy, towards corporate and transnational interests and complicity with regional sectoral interests. A consequence has been a 'muting' of energy and planning policies, bringing the coal industry into conflict with place - people, communities, environment - through permitting a spatially expanding coal industry. The second aim to provide an update economic history of the industry, which quantitatively charts both the expansion in production and the resulting enlarged spatial footprint and higher visibility of the industry. In this period, the industry underwent its greatest expansion. Its mode of governance and the high levels of scrutiny - using my theoretical setting of Foucauldian Governmentality - in resource allocation, approvals and mode of operation, was manifestly a historically significant reconfiguration of the power relationships and alignments between the State, labour, mine operators and community. These are relationships shaped by the State's accommodation of an export industry operating under the neo-liberal globalisation narrative, and a continuance of the mentalities of Government, labour and capital, formed by developments during the war and post-war period.

description: Upon in vivo administration of nanoparticles, a protein corona forms on their surface and affects their half-life in circulation, biodistribution properties, and stability; in turn, the composition of the protein corona depends on the physico-chemical properties of the nanoparticles. We have previously observed lipid composition-dependent in vitro and in vivo microRNA delivery from lipid nanoparticles. Here, we carried out an extensive physico-chemical characterisation to understand the role of the lipid composition on the in vivo fate of lipid-based nanoparticles. We used a combination of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), membrane deformability measurements, isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), and dynamic light scattering (DLS) to probe the interactions between the nanoparticle surface and bovine serum albumin (BSA) as a model protein. The lipid composition influenced membrane deformability, improved lipid intermixing, and affected the formation of lipid domains while BSA binding to the liposome surface was affected by the PEGylated lipid content and the presence of cholesterol. These findings highlight the importance of the lipid composition on the protein-liposome interaction and provide important insights for the design of lipid-based nanoparticles for drug delivery applications.

description: Introduction: According to the Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) between the Indonesian and Japanese governments, the Japanese government plans to recruit Indonesian nurses and caregivers to fulfill the demands of those positions at hospitals and health centres. However, to be a qualified worker in Japan, one has to pass a national examination that is conducted by the Minister of Health, Labor, and Welfare for a license as a registered nurse within 3 or 4 years of working as a nurse or caregiver, respectively. Method: Having considered that matter, a comparative study of the background of educational systems in Indonesia and Japan is discussed in this paper, with particular reference to the Diploma 3 nursing program. Result: There is no specific difference between the Indonesian and Japanese nursing education systems. Discussion: However, the current health condition of the countries remains the focus of the curricula where Indonesian nursing education is focused on communicable disease and surgery nursing, whereas the Japanese system focuses on gerontology and chronic disease nursing. In terms of the qualification method, Japanese nurses should undertake a national board examination to be a qualified nurse. On the other hand, there is no national board examination for Indonesian nurses.

description: The paper presents a novel view of the Dempster-Shafer belief function as a measure of diversity in relational data bases. It is demonstrated that under the interpretation The Dempster rule of evidence combination corresponds to the join operator of the relational database theory. This rough-set based interpretation is qualitative in nature and can represent a number of belief function operators. The interpretation has the property that Given a definition of the belief measure of objects in the interpretation domain we can perform operations in this domain and the measure of the resulting object is derivable from measures of component objects via belief operator. We demonstrated this property for Dempster rule of combination, marginalization, Shafer's conditioning, independent variables, Shenoy's notion of conditional independence of variables. The interpretation is based on rough sets (in connection with decision tables), but differs from previous interpretations of this type in that it counts the diversity rather than frequencies in a decision table.

description: In order to speak we have to transform our thinking into a form that can be verbally expressed– so called conceptualisation. Conceptualisation processes, including the selection and ordering of important information, perspective taking and topic maintenance, can be particularly difficult for individuals with acquired language impairments. This thesis aimed to identify symptoms of conceptualisation deficits in people with neurological language impairments (stroke aphasia, Primary Progressive Aphasia [PPA]) using a speech production task that is commonly used in clinical assessment (i.e., picture description) This research applied a modification of an established connected speech analysis -concept analysis - to investigate the number, quality and order of the information produced in picture description. The results showed that some individuals with stroke-aphasia (Chapter 2) and PPA (Chapter 3) omitted essential information and/or showed difficulties producing it in an appropriate temporal order. These impairments were hypothesised to be associated with either linguistic or cognitive impairments (e.g., working memory, attention). Chapter 4 investigated how far discourse macrostructure was influenced by impaired word availability. The ‘Taboo paradigm’ was used to induce lexical access difficulties in unimpaired speakers and their performance compared to speakers with aphasia. The results suggested that impaired word availability can account for a reduced amount of essential information. However, omissions of the most central concepts and temporal order violations, observed in some speakers with aphasia, cannot be explained by linguistic impairment alone. Chapter 5 reports a pilot investigation of the eye movements made during complex picture description. This pioneering study revealed clearly different gaze patterns (e.g., timing of fixations to critical areas) between a man with aphasia and unimpaired controls. This motivates the use of eye tracking for further research on conceptualisation difficulties. In summary, the results of this thesis provide evidence for the possible symptoms of conceptualisation difficulties in individuals with stroke-induced and primary progressive aphasia and have clinical application for enhancing the effectiveness of aphasia diagnosis and treatment.

description: Very few low-ionization broad absorption line (LoBAL) QSOs have been found at high redshifts to date. One high-redshift LoBAL QSO, J0122+1216, was recently discovered at the Lijiang 2.4-m Telescope with an initial redshift determination of 4.76. Aiming to investigate its physical properties, we carried out follow-up observations in the optical and near-IR spectroscopy. Near-IR spectra from UKIRT and P200 confirms that it is a LoBAL, with a new redshift determination of $4.82\pm0.01$ based on the \mgii~ emission-line. The new \mgii~ redshift determination reveals strong blueshifts and asymmetry of the high-ionization emission lines. We estimated a black hole mass of $\sim 2.3\times 10^9 M_\odot$ and Eddington ratio of $\sim 1.0$ according to the empirical \mgii-based single-epoch relation and bolometric correction factor. It is possible that strong outflows are the result of an extreme quasar environment driven by the high Eddington ratio. A lower limit on the outflowing kinetic power ($>0.9\% L_{Edd}$) was derived from both emission and absorption lines, indicating these outflows play a significant role in the feedback process to regulate the growth of its black hole as well as host galaxy evolution.

description: Over the last few years, among controlled-release delivery systems, multivesicular liposomes (MVLs) have attracted attention due to their unique benefits as a loco-regional drug delivery system. Considering the clinical limitations of the current treatment strategies for osteomyelitis, MVLs can be a suitable carrier for the local delivery of effective antibiotics. This study aimed to prepare vancomycin hydrochloride (VAN HL) loaded MVLs using the active loading method which to the best of our knowledge has not been previously reported. Empty MVLS were prepared by the double emulsion (w/o/w) method and VAN HL was loaded into the prepared liposomes by the ammonium gradient method. After full characterization, the release profile of VAN HL from MVLs was assessed at two different pH values (5.5 and 7.4), and compared with the release profile of the free drug and also passively loaded MVLs. In vitro antimicrobial activities were evaluated using the disc diffusion method. Our results demonstrated that the encapsulation efficiency was higher than 90% in the optimum actively loaded MVL. The free VAN HL was released within 6-8 h, while the passively loaded MVLs and the optimum actively loaded MVL formulation released the drug in 6 days and up to 19 days, respectively. The released drug showed effective antibacterial activity against osteomyelitis-causing pathogens. In conclusion, the prepared formulation offered the advantages of sustained-release properties, appropriate particle size as well as being composed of biocompatible materials, and thus could be a promising candidate for the loco-regional delivery of VAN HL and the management of osteomyelitis.

description: The solar galactic neighbourhood contains a number of young co-moving associations of stars (so-called `young moving groups') with ages of ~10--150 Myr, which are prime targets for a range of scientific studies, including direct imaging planet searches. The late-type stellar population of such groups still remain in their pre-main sequence phase, and are thus well suited for purposes such as isochronal dating. Close binaries are particularly useful in this regard, since they allow for a model-independent dynamical mass determination. Here we present a dedicated effort to identify new close binaries in nearby young moving groups, through high-resolution imaging with the AstraLux Sur Lucky Imaging camera. We surveyed 181 targets, resulting in the detection of 61 companions or candidates, of which 38 are new discoveries. An interesting example of such a case is 2MASS J00302572-6236015 AB, which is a high-probability member of the Tucana-Horologium moving group, and has an estimated orbital period of less than 10 years. Among the previously known objects is a serendipitous detection of the deuterium burning boundary circumbinary companion 2MASS J01033563-5515561 (AB)b in the z'-band, thereby extending the spectral coverage for this object down to near-visible wavelengths.
