description: Biosecurity is the one aspect of a cattle operation that the pro­ducer has the most control over. Each producer has practices in place to protect their cattle and optimize their health. Vet­erinarians are purposefully trained to understand the compo­nents of biosecurity including animal health, epidemiology, infectious disease and public health consequences. Biosecurity planning is an important piece to herd health planning that can benefit the producer and the veterinarian. The National Cattle­men’s Beef Association (NCBA) Producer Education team works on the Beef Quality Assurance (BQA) and other Beef Checkoff-funded programs each day to ensure cattle producers and vet­erinarians have industry-leading information and resources. Several resources developed by the Producer Education team at NCBA, and the separately managed Secure Beef Supply, are available for producers, veterinarians and transporters to re­view for more information on biosecurity to improve cattle wel­fare before and during potential disease outbreaks.

research

description: Animal health and performance research trials are commonly performed to evaluate ways to improve production efficiency and well-being. The objective will be to highlight how to set up research projects in the field. The research objective estab­lishes the groundwork for the rest of the trial. When selecting which animals to use for the study, the main considerations are the population of animals which a person wants to apply the re­sults. Randomization is a critical part of the research process to make sure the treatment groups are similar at the beginning of the study. Develop a protocol which outlines all the procedures performed and data collected during the study. A 1-2 page sum­mary is sufficient to explain all the concepts for a field study. The most important part of conducting the study is to follow the protocol developed. You need to ensure all data collected are accurate. The reason for conducting the research is to apply the results in the field to make a difference. Before applying, con­sider the production system where the study was performed, and the study population to determine if results will apply in different production systems. Conducting research in the field can provide valuable insight on which practices impact out­comes of interest.

A study of mechanisms linking type 2 diabetes mellitus and dementia
Creators: name: Moran, Christopher
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Background: Dementia is highly prevalent in older age, accounts for a significant proportion of age-related disability, and is one of the most expensive disorders affecting older Australians. T2DM affects about 85% of all people with diabetes and occurs more commonly in older age. T2DM increases the risk of vascular dementia and Alzheimer’s dementia (AD) although there may be substantial overlap of the two pathologies. The underlying pathways between T2DM and dementia may involve neurodegeneration, vascular disease, or both, with several common intermediary mechanisms. Aims & methods: The broad aim of this thesis was to study the disease pathways that underlie the association between T2DM and dementia. The majority of the research presented was conducted within the Cognition and Type 2 Diabetes in Older Tasmanians (CDOT) study. A further study was conducted in a second sample, derived from the United States’ Alzheimer’s disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI). Results: The main novel results of my thesis are summarised below: 1. Brain atrophy is a key mediator of T2DM-related cognitive impairment and the regional distribution of brain atrophy seen in T2DM appears similar to that seen in early AD. 2. Tissue advanced glycation is associated with brain atrophy in T2DM (and in those without T2DM) and may partially mediate the association between T2DM and brain atrophy. 3. T2DM is associated with excess production of CSF phosphorylated tau, and this partially mediates the association between T2DM and reduced cortical thickness, providing the first in-vivo evidence mechanistically linking T2DM with neurodegenerative AD-type pathology. 4. Retinal vascular architecture and retinopathy (subclinical markers of small cerebral vessel disease) were not associated with MRI biomarkers of T2DM-related brain disease, raising speculation about the relative importance of vascular pathways leading to brain disease in people with T2DM receiving good glycaemic and vascular risk control. Conclusions: Brain atrophy is a key mediator of diabetes-related cognitive impairment and mechanisms similar to that seen in AD may play a role in T2DM-related cognitive impairment. These findings do not exclude the possibility that cerebrovascular disease or other non-AD-type processes contribute to T2DM-related cognitive impairment. A greater understanding of the mechanisms linking T2DM and dementia may facilitate development of new avenues for treatment of dementia.

Organic Ionic Plastic Crystals as solid electrolytes for lithium batteries
Creators: name: Jin, Liyu
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Organic Ionic Plastic Crystals (OIPCs) are increasingly drawing attention as a new type of solid-state electrolyte for lithium rechargeable batteries, because they can essentially relieve the safety concerns of the present commercial lithium batteries based on organic and flammable solvents and thus pave the way towards more robust energy storage solutions for electric vehicles and power grids. However, although significant progress has been made towards the realisation of practical OIPC-based solid electrolytes, the lack of thorough fundamental understanding of their properties, especially the nature of their ionic motion and transport and the effects of Li salt addition, has limited the development of prototype lithium cells using OIPC-based electrolytes. This PhD thesis therefore has three goals: 1) to obtain more insights into the fundamentals of the materials, especially their phase-dependent plastic crystal behaviour; 2) to under- stand the effects of the addition of Li ions on the structure and dynamics of OIPC matrices; 3) to demonstrate prototype Li cells with OIPC-based electrolytes operating at ambient temperature. For Goal 1, two recently synthesised phosphonium cation-based OIPCs, i. e. diethyl(methyl)(isobutyl)phosphonium hexafluorophosphate ([P1224][PF6]) and triethyl(methyl)phosphonium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide ([P1222][FSI]) were investigated by a combination of analytical methods and theoretical simulations/calculations. The evolution of the motions of the cations and the anions in different phases of both plastic crystals was examined, and models proposed to explain the strongly phase-dependent ionic conductivities of these OIPCs. Cooperative motion of cations and anions was proposed for [P1222][FSI] at a particular temperature range, in which some unusual phase behaviour was observed. For Goal 2, molecular dynamics simulations of the effects of lithium salt addition to a model plastic crystal, tetramethylammonium dicyanamide ([N1111][DCA]) were performed. Cluster formation between Li ions and anions was found: Li-DCA clusters enhance the mobility of the ions that are not in the clusters. This is a somewhat surprising atomic-level explanation of how doped Li ions in the OIPC enhance its ion transport properties. For Goal 3, the electrochemical properties of triisobutyl(methyl) phosphonium bis(fluorosulfonyl) imide ([P1444][FSI]) were examined, and this plastic crystal was used to build prototypical Li metal cells. These cells showed, for the first time, practical cell performance (ca. 160 mA h g-1 discharge capacity achieved at 0.1 C) at ambient temperature. The main contributions of this thesis to the field are 1) proposing new models of the ionic motions of OIPCs with respect to their phase behaviour 2) showing the value of the combined analytical and theoretical methodology in studying OIPCs; 3) demonstrating promising Li cell performance with an OIPC-based electrolyte at ambient temperature.

Subjects: cattle

nutrition

description: The disunion between veterinarians and nutritionists sup­porting the cattle industry is not new, albeit there are plentiful opportunities to improve. Successful operations need the per­spective and technical knowledge of both professionals to op­timize productivity. The need for improvement is magnified by the inability of the cattle industry to make strides in improving mortality rates that is most likely a reflection of management x health x nutrition interactions. Opportunity for veterinarians to support producers nutritionally is most prevalent among cattle segments not traditionally supported by trained nutri­tionists. These include cow-calf operations and confinement feeding operations with less than 500 head capacity. To facili­tate nutritional conversations with the nutritionists, a basic un­derstanding of the 6 classes of nutrients is critical. These class­es include water, carbohydrates, lipids, protein, vitamins and minerals. A base level understanding of each nutrient paired with a broad idea of applied concepts associated with feeding will make for constructive two-sided conversations about nutri­tion between technical professionals.

description: Embryo transfer in cattle can be extremely rewarding for both the cattle producer and veterinarian. A conventional flush can be achieved through a serious of shots to a donor cow, which can be stimulated to produce more offspring than she normally would in her lifetime. The process of a conventional flush will be discussed as well as grading and evaluating embryos. In ad­dition to domestic use of embryo transfer, the International Embryo Technology Society (IETS) has a set of guidelines that allows veterinarians to follow to collect and freeze embryos for exportation either through in-vivo or in-vitro production. The process of in-vitro produced (IVP) embryos will be briefly dis­cussed along with various synchronization protocols for both production systems.

Bull breeding soundness and cryopreservation of semen

Subjects: bull
breeding soundness exam
morphology
semen evaluation

description: The Society for Theriogenology (SFT) adopted the current form for the bull breeding soundness evaluation (BSE) in 2018. The BSE consists of four parts: a physical exam, a minimal scrotal circumference by the age of the bull, minimum progressive motility of 30%, and minimum morphology of 70% normal cells. A bull deemed to be a satisfactory potential breeder should unequivocally meet or exceed these four requirements. These standards as set forth by the SFT, give the veterinar­ian an objective approach to evaluating a bull. It has been said that “rarely are bulls infertile, but there are a lot of sub-fertile bulls”. Identification of these sub-fertile bulls by veterinarians, allows cattle producers to negate a potential negative impact on the overall productivity of the herd due to poor reproductive efficiency.


Each part of the exam should be of equal importance to the vet­erinarian and no part should be omitted if an accurate assess­ment of the bull is to be determined. Carson et al in review of BSE trends for the past 20 years, deemed that overwhelmingly the most common cause of unsatisfactory or deferred classi­fication of bulls was due to unacceptable semen morphology. The preparation and interpretation of the morphology slide must be proficient and consistent for the results of the exam to be valid.


The challenges that food animal practitioners encounter re­garding remaining relevant in the livestock industry continue to surface, and the profession must find means to maintain their position in a changing world. Promoting ourselves as ex­perts and the benefits of a professional exam by a veterinarian are essential to suppressing emerging imitators that provide a mediocre version of this exam sometimes referred to as the “se­men check”.

description: Here we reported an interesting case of an 84-year-old woman
with acute onset of paresis of left arm and paresthesia of left face and
 arm. The symptoms resolved within two hours. She also had a similar
prior episode two weeks ago with only left arm paresthesia. Her MRI
revealed different stages of lacunar ischemic lesions. Interestingly,
the SWAN sequences showed lateralized rather than global multiple
microhemorrhages over the right MCA and PCA territory, and the sulcal
hyperintensity on FLAIR was also seen with no associated susceptibility
effect and minimal enhancement, indicating probable cerebral amyloid
angiopathy (CAA) based on Boston Criteria.

It has been acknowledged that the CAA could manifest
with certain localization preference. Cerebral microinfarct and white
matter disease in CAA have been more often observed in the posterior
circulation territory, however the restricted lateralization reported in
 our case has not been seen. Since CAA is often diagnosed when the
characteristic MRI findings are picked up incidentally, recognizing this
 as a potential “TIA mimic” will be important for guiding treatment due
to its higher risk of bleeding. In summary, this case highlights that
the CAA could present as restricted lateralized lesions and occur as
transient neurologic deficits, which to our knowledge has not be
reported before. Recognition of it as a potential manifestation of CAA
will be valuable in the clinical diagnosis process.
Controlling protein translation: a message from the 3' end of mRNA
Creators: name: Swaminathan, Angavai
Publisher: name: Monash University

description: The control of mRNA translation is one of the many mechanisms utilized by cells to regulate gene expression. How well an mRNA is translated is often determined by ‘codes’ within the 3’ untranslated region (3’ UTR). Regulatory molecules, RNA and/or proteins, can bind these codes to influence when, where and how often mRNA is translated. One way in which the translational output of individual mRNA can be graded, is by regulated change in the poly(A)-tail length. A long poly(A)-tail is generally correlated with high translational efficiency whereas mRNA having a short-poly(A)-tail are poorly translated. Moreover, as a further level of control, recent work shows more than 50% of eukaryotic transcripts undergo condition dependant alternative 3’ end processing referred to as Alternative Polyadenylation (APA). This generates mRNA isoforms with differing 3’ UTR lengths and can result in the gain or loss of the regulatory elements. Variation of the position at which the pre-mRNA 3’ UTR is cleaved and polyadenylated can thus provide a mechanism by which the level of protein translation can be regulated. That is, a long 3’ UTR isoform might contain multiple regulatory elements that silence translation whereas a short isoform may be translationally deregulated. The translation of mRNA can be conveniently determined by its degree of association with ribosomes. Actively translating mRNA show better ribosomal association than silent or poorly translating mRNA. This study hypothesize that the deadenylation rate of mRNA poly(A)-tail is specified by proteins that bind to the 3’ UTR of specific transcripts and thereby regulate translational repression. However, it remains unresolved whether the poly(A)-tail shortening is a direct cause or indirect consequence of translational repression. In order to address this as well as to explore the functional consequence of APA, a ribosome affinity isolation assay has been established, which traps mRNA with translating ribosomes. The subsequent comparison between ribosome enriched RNA and the total RNA within the sample, serves as a surrogate read-out of mRNA translation at steady-state. In addition, to investigate if any adenylation-state modulators are responsible for differential translation, using reporters differing in their 3’ UTRs, a classic growth based assay was designed. This was based on modification of the HIS3 gene locus such that life on media lacking histidine depends on the stabilization of the HIS3 mRNA poly(A)-tail and thus increased His3p protein expression. However this study revealed an unappreciated complexity in the control of 3’ UTR dynamics in the endogenous genomic context that is not easily predicted or overcome by standard genetic engineering methodologies. Overall, this thesis will provide mechanistic insight into the 3’ end mediated control of mRNA translation.

description: Diarrhea is the leading cause of calf mortality prior to weaning in both beef and dairy calves. Therefore, both veterinarians and producers should put some effort into designing rational and efficacious protocols both for the prevention and treatment of diarrhea. The primary goals of treating calf diarrhea are to 1) correct free water and electrolyte abnormalities; 2) correct acid-base deficits (acidemia); 3) provide nutritional support; and 4) eliminate and/or prevent E. coli bacteremia. This pre­sentation will focus on both oral electrolyte and intravenous fluid therapy in calves with diarrhea. Practical approaches to correcting dehydration and metabolic acidosis on-farm will be emphasized.

Essays on foreign direct investment
Creators: name: Baltabaev, Botirjan
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This dissertation comprises three different studies that investigate the impact of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) on separate macroeconomic issues. The first paper examines the effect of FDI on Total Factor Productivity growth. Although the role of FDI in facilitating technology transfer is well-known in the literature, empirical evidence regarding the effect of FDI on growth is mixed. Contradictory results in the literature may be due to the failure of accounting for endogeneity and the absorptive capacity of the hosting countries. Using panel data for 49 countries over the 1974-2008 time period, and the existence of investment promotion agencies in the receiving countries as an instrument, the results show that FDI leads to higher productivity growth. The results also indicate a significant positive effect on the interaction between FDI and distance to the technological frontier, suggesting that the ability of technologically backward countries in absorbing technologies developed at the frontiers increases as more FDI stock accumulates. The second paper deals with capital flows and export diversification. Casual inspection of available evidence suggests that the magnitude of FDI is correlated with the extent of export diversification. Yet, little is known about the nature of this link. To bridge this gap in the literature, I propose an inframarginal 2*2*2 Heckscher-Ohlin model of trade that allows capital mobility and technological differences across countries. The model shows that trade costs determine the equilibrium trade structures. When trade costs are too high, autarky emerges as general equilibrium. However, an initial reduction in trade costs triggers trade in commodities based on comparative advantage. Further decline in transaction costs leads to the movement of capital (inward FDI) to the capital scarce country, enabling it to export a greater variety of goods under certain conditions. Finally, the third paper empirically studies the causal effect of FDI on export diversification. The existing literature, which is still at infancy, has not dealt with the problems of endogeneity and aggregation bias in estimating the effects of FDI on export diversification. In this paper, I provide more robust evidence with 2SLS regression using a novel instrument for FDI as well as a highly disaggregated measure of export diversification with U.S. imports data (at the 10-digit level of Harmonized System classification). Overall results confirm the export diversifying effect of FDI. However, further tests reveal that FDI only acts as a catalyst of export diversification in developing countries, while advanced countries do not show an increase in the variety of exports due to multinationals.

description: SSTR2 is a member of superfamily of SST receptor (SSTR), and widely expressed in the brain; however, the knowledge of its functions in area adjacent to hematoma after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is still limited. The role of SSTR2 in the processes of ICH was explored by conducting an ICH rat model. Western blot and immunohistochemistry were employed to examine the level of SSTR2 in area adjacent to hematoma after ICH. Immunofluorescent staining was used to observe the spatial correlation of SSTR2 with cellular types adjacent to hematoma after ICH. RNA interference specific to SSTR2 was adopted in PC12 cells to clarify the causal correlation between SSTR2 and neuronal activities. Increased expression of SSTR2 was observed and restricted to the neurons adjacent to hematoma following ICH. Immunofluorescent staining showed that SSTR2 was significant increased in neurons, but not astrocytes or microglia. Increasing SSTR2 level was found to be accompanied by the up-regulation of activated caspase-3 and the down-expression of p-Akt in a time-dependent manner. What’s more, using SSTR2 RNA interference (SSTR2-RNAi) in PC12 cells, we indicated that SSTR2 might have a pro-apoptotic role in neurons. We speculated that SSTR2 might exert its pro-apoptotic function in neurons through inhibiting Akt activity following ICH.
The state as an identity racketeer: the case of Saudi Arabia
Creators: name: Rich, Ben

Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Although the close link between the Saudi state and the religious revivalist movement commonly known as “Wahhabism” is well known, little scholarly effort has been made to apply social or political theory to better interpret this relationship. This thesis seeks to begin to fill this gap, asking the question “how has the Saudi regime employed revivalist Islam as a system state of legitimation?” and seeking to answer it through a synthesis of sociological and political theories proposed by Catarina Kinnvall and Charles Tilly. In adopting this approach, the thesis outlines a broad system of state “identity racketeering,” in which the Saudi state seeks to shape and stoke an exclusivist, Islamic identity in many of its citizens and then exploit the metaphysical insecurities intrinsic to this identity towards its own political ends. It demonstrates that this behaviour is not modern and has existed across the eighteenth, nineteenth, twentieth and twenty-first centuries, over three distinct periods of Saudi rule, under increasingly consolidated conditions of statehood. Throughout these periods, the system has displayed remarkable consistency, tarnishing political rivals of the regime as enemies of Islam, while emphasising the state’s necessity in ensuring the religious purity of the revivalist community. The findings of the thesis are far from historical curiosities and continue to have important ramifications in contemporary times. Despite the advent of the oil era and the powerful welfare state this produced, efforts to maintain and expand racketeering efforts where possible remain a central tenet of the House of Saud’s governing strategy, most recently evident in its response to the Arab Spring. From the Islamic State, to women’s right to drive, to the subordinate status of the Kingdom’s Shi’a, the effects of such identity racketeering remains pervasive and profound at many levels of Saudi politics, society and security today.

Public speaking and presentations
Creators: name: Hake, Marissa
Publisher: name: American Association of Bovine Practitioners  Conference Proceedings
Year: 2022

description: As a new graduate, we often think that honing our technical skills is our number one priority. While being a technically-skilled veterinarian is incredibly important, we also have to build relationships with our clients. Effective communication and presentation skills can help young practitioners build trust with producers and the public. Unfortunately, the fear of public speaking or “glossophobia” is believed to affect 75% of people, making it one of the most universal fears. Armed with an un¬derstanding of how fear impacts your body, presentation tips and tricks as well as stress-mitigation techniques, veterinar¬ians can begin to face their fears of public speaking and share information in a more impactful way.

description: The cow-calf industry is very diverse in size and type of opera­tion which makes predicting future veterinary services needs difficult. Solid business principles apply to both the cow-calf in­dustry and veterinary practices. Veterinarians are educated in a diverse number of subjects and can combine their own knowl­edge with the expertise of others to better serve cow-calf clients.

The Eternal Pulse: creating with konnakkol and its adaptation into contemporary vocal performance
Creators: name: Young, Lisa (Elissa M.)
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This research examines the use of konnakkol in the creative musical practice of select contemporary artists, resulting in the creation and performance of a new composition for jazz quartet, and demonstrating how the konnakkol art form continues to evolve and be adapted on the world stage. Commonly described as a sophisticated style of vocal percussion, konnakkol is the performance art form of the intoned rhythmic recitation of solkattu, the vocalised rhythmic syllables of South Indian classical music and dance. My ethnomusicological field research finds that as a musician’s companion, the Carnatic system of solkattu/konnakkol has a broad range of practical and creative functions. In-depth interviews with konnakkol artists Kaaraikkudi Mani (India), Suresh Vaidyanathan (India) and Lori Cotler (USA) provide insight into the way these musicians work creatively with konnakkol in traditional and cross-cultural projects. The research demonstrates how artists fluent in konnakkol move beyond its pedagogical role to employ its use as a highly creative tool, in which konnakkol provides a conceptual framework for metred numerical calculations, improvisation, composition, rhythmic comprehension and analysis, transference of musical ideas, and expression of musical pulse. It also demonstrates the use of atypical konnakkol syllables, along with timbral and pitch variations in contemporary konnakkol delivery. For this research I created and performed the song cycle The Eternal Pulse with jazz musicians Ben Robertson, Stephen Magnusson and Dave Beck. In composing this work, I explored the expression of ‘eternal’ and ‘internal’ pulse, understood as the musical metre and the internal sub-divisions of the metre respectively. I used intoned and pitched konnakkol as a fully integrated vocal and musical expression in a Western contemporary jazz context, embedding konnakkol and wordless lingual sounds within this format to create a unique ‘vocal sound-bank’ as the basis for my vocal expression. This style of pitched konnakkol is a distinctive feature of my creative practice. In this process, The Eternal Pulse created a new style of composition and performance by integrating konnakkol language and concepts as melodies, riffs and the language for improvised passages. The Eternal Pulse, the related reflective analysis, and the insights drawn from fieldwork interviews all demonstrate the adaptive and evolving use of konnakkol in contemporary performance practice. The resultant new knowledge is a documented articulation of a practitioner’s perspective acquired by taking the tradition of konnakkol into a Western creative context. This also represents a contribution to the knowledge of broader practical and creative applications of konnakkol in contemporary performance practice.

description: North American feedlot practice has evolved over the last four decades to become a highly specialized form of veterinary medicine offering integrated client solutions spanning from animal health protocols to data analysis and economic model­ing. Successful new and future feedlot practices will provide in­tegrated multidisciplinary solutions to clients while seeking to create opportunities for true producer-practitioner alignment. In its purest form, this will translate to co-investment and commitment of personal capital by veterinarians and produc­tion professionals who seek to monetize intellectual property through equity participation in the feedlot production systems they service.

Board Compliance

Year: 2020

description: Do corporate boards care about compliance? Surely they should, because of the potentially catastrophic consequences of ignoring it. Take the example of the recent compliance failures at Wells Fargo, the large bank, which pioneered a strategy of "cross-selling" financial products to its customers.' This turned out to be profitable, and the bank sought to maximize its rollout by setting branch staff powerful financial incentives to maximize sales of financial products to its customers. 2 Unfortunately, these incentives triggered widespread fraud on the part of the bank's employees, with customers discovering products had been charged to their names without their consent. 3 After the Wells Fargo scandal broke, regulators identified numerous weaknesses in the firm's compliance programs that had permitted the misconduct to go unchecked.4 The bank ultimately paid about $575 million in fines and settlements and fired over 5,000 employees; the CEO resigned after Congressional hearings.5 In response, the Board commissioned an outside investigation into how this compliance failure happened on its watch.6 Yet, federal regulators were deeply unsatisfied with the Board's response. In early 2018, the Federal Reserve took the unusual step of restricting the growth of the bank as four Board members departed; the Fed also sent a letter to the former Lead Director, describing his "many pervasive and serious compliance and conduct failures."7
Influence of personal relationships on trauma injury recovery : a qualitative study
Creators: name: Wilkes, Alison
Publisher: name: University of Tasmania
Year: 2024

description: This exploratory study aimed to qualitatively investigate the role of personal relationships in the first 12 months after trauma injury, particularly in relation to individuals psychological coping strategies and resilience. Semi-structured interviews with 19 participants (4 female, aged 31 to 75, M = 51.26, SD = 13.09) who had experienced trauma injury and were sourced from the Tasmanian Trauma Injury Registry were conducted. Three superordinate themes: changes to social support system, types of social support provided, responses to social support and five subordinate themes: shifting social convoys, emotional and physical closeness as a protective factor, layer of support, above and beyond, personality and openness to social support emerged from the participant interviews. These themes highlight the changes that occur within social support networks as a result of trauma injury, the types of social support provided after trauma injury and the injured person's response to social support; distinct coping style groups were also explored. The findings underscore the pivotal role of close relationships in the first 12 months of recovery post trauma injury and offers valuable insights into the intricate interplay between social networks and psychological recovery during this time, laying the foundation for future investigations in this domain. Direction for future investigation into particular relational dynamics and quantitative methodologies are suggested.
