'It belongs to the internet': animal images, attribution norms and the politics of amateur media production
Creators: name: Meese, James
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Cute pictures of animals feature as an inoffensive and adorable background to the contemporary online experience with cute content regularly shared on social media platforms. Indeed the demand for cuteness is so strong in the current cultural milieu that some animals become recognisable animal celebrities in the process (Hepola). However, despite the existence of this professionalisation in some sections of the cute economy, amateurs produce the majority of cute content that circulates online. This is largely because one of the central contributors to this steady stream of cute animal pictures is the subforum Aww, hosted on the online community Reddit. Aww is wholly dedicated to pictures of cute things and allows users to directly submit cute content directly to the site. Aww is one of the default subforums that new Reddit users are automatically subscribed to and is immensely popular, featuring over 4.2 million dedicated subscribers as well as untold casual visits. The section is self-described as: “Things that make you go AWW! -- like puppies, and bunnies, and so on...Feel free to post pictures, videos and stories of cute things” ('The cutest things on the internet!'). Users upload cute animal photos that they have taken and wait for the Reddit community to vote on their favourite pictures. The voting mechanism helps users to acknowledge their favourite posts, with the most popular featured on the front page of Aww (for a detailed critique of this process see van der Nagel 2013). The user-generated model of the site means that instead of visitors being confronted with a formally curated selection of cute animal photos, Aww offers a constantly changing mixture of amateur, semi-pro and professional content.

description: Prenatal exposure to neurotoxicants such as lead (Pb) may cause stable changes in the DNA methylation (5mC) profile of the fetal genome. However, few studies have examined its effect on the DNA de-methylation pathway, specifically the dynamic changes of the 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) profile. Therefore, in this study, we investigate the relationship between Pb exposure and 5mC and 5hmC modifications during early development. To study the changes in the 5hmC profile, we use a novel modification of the Infinium™ HumanMethylation450 assay (Illumina, Inc.), which we named HMeDIP-450K assay, in an in vitro human embryonic stem cell model of Pb exposure. We model Pb exposure-associated 5hmC changes as clusters of correlated, adjacent CpG sites, which are co-responding to Pb. We further extend our study to look at Pb-dependent changes in high density 5hmC regions in umbilical cord blood DNA from 48 mother-infant pairs from the Early Life Exposure in Mexico to Environmental Toxicants (ELEMENT) cohort. For our study, we randomly selected umbilical cord blood from 24 male and 24 female children from the 1st and 4th quartiles of Pb levels. Our data show that Pb-associated changes in the 5hmC and 5mC profiles can be divided into sex-dependent and sex-independent categories. Interestingly, differential 5mC sites are better markers of Pb-associated sex-dependent changes compared to differential 5hmC sites. In this study we identified several 5hmC and 5mC genomic loci, which we believe might have some potential as early biomarkers of prenatal Pb exposure.

description: Air pollution from volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and particulate matter (PM2.5) presents a complex environmental challenge shaped by multiple pollutants. Despite concerted efforts in the last twenty years, air quality continues to pose serious risks to both human health and environmental stability. Exposure to VOCs and PM2.5 indoors can lead to significant health issues, including respiratory illnesses, leukemia, birth defects, and miscarriages. Therefore, advancing indoor air purification technologies is essential to reduce these harmful effects. This article examines the latest trends, innovations, and potential future developments in indoor air purification methods.

description: Five 2-D Ln(III) coordination polymers, [Ln(PDA)(PDAH)]n (PDA = 2,6-pyridinedicarboxylate), have been obtained under mild hydrothermal condition. In each coordination polymer, PDA is tetradentate and pentadentate, while lanthanides have coordination number eight to generate trigonal prismatic, triangular face bicapped LnO6N2 geometry having 9 triangular and 2 square faces. Two different types of bridging oxygens are responsible to grow the 2-D coordination polymers providing open channels possessing infinite 1-D nanosized cavities. Adjacent 2-D chains are further extended to a 3-D hydrogen-bonded layered network through intermolecular π–π interactions and C–H⋯O hydrogen bonds. Four lanthanides are arranged roughly at the vertices of a square and bridged by eight carboxylates leading to the overall tetrahedral shape of the secondary building units. The abnormal behavior of lanthanide contraction for the atomic radii of europium can be attributed to overlapping of electron clouds. The overall magnetic behavior is typical for the presence of antiferromagnetic exchange coupling interactions. Thermal decomposition analysis reveals that the coordination polymers have significant thermal stability. The coordination polymers are further characterized using elemental analysis and FT-IR spectroscopy.

description: New metastable β titanium alloys are receiving increasing attention due to their excellent biomechanical properties and machinability is critical to their uptake. In this study, machining chip microstructure has been investigated to gain an understanding of strain and temperature fields during cutting. For higher cutting speeds, ≥60 m/min, the chips have segmented morphologies characterised by a serrated appearance. High levels of strain in the primary shear zone promote formation of expanded shear band regions between segments which exhibit intensive refinement of the β phase down to grain sizes below 100 nm. The presence of both α and β phases across the expanded shear band suggests that temperatures during cutting are in the range of 400–600◦ C. For the secondary shear zone, very large strains at the cutting interface result in heavily refined and approximately equiaxed nanocrystalline β grains with sizes around 20–50 nm, while further from the interface the β grains become highly elongated in the shear direction. An absence of the α phase in the region immediately adjacent to the cutting interface indicates recrystallization during cutting and temperatures in excess of the 720° C β transus temperature.

Cognitive and perceptual skills in game-like training tools: transfer of training from static to dynamic contexts

Year: 2024

description: Background: This paper explores the robustness of the cognitive and perceptual skills developed within a game-like instrument scanning training task. The task uses static, stylised instruments and explores transfer of training to perceptual manipulation and to a dynamic training task. Method: Participants (n=50) completed a static instrument scanning task (including static transfer), presented via a laptop under supervised conditions. They then completed a dynamic instrument scanning task to test for transfer of static training to the more realistic dynamic environment. A small number of experienced pilots (n=3) completed the dynamic task alone to ensure that the task tapped skills relevant to the real world flying domain. Results: Participants could perform reasonably accurately (median 80% correct compared with a chance level of 10%) on the static instrument scanning task after minimal training, and response times improved significantly across training trials, including static transfer trials. Performance on the dynamic task was uniformly poor even for the subset of high-performing participants (n=19) who were the most accurate on the static task. However, the experienced pilots were able to perform well on the dynamic task suggesting that this task draws on skills required in the aviation context. Conclusion: Despite superficially good performance on a game-like static instrument scanning task, there is little evidence of transfer of training to a dynamic training environment with more ecological validity. The gap between game-like training environments and real world operational tasks is likely to be substantially greater, such that the potential for training transfer is further reduced.

description: A series of polyfluorene-based polymers with a range of weight percentages (w/w) of a platinum(II)-containing porphyrin, 5,15-dimesityl-10,20-diphenylporphyrinato platinum(II) (MPP(Pt)), were synthesised and incorporated into organic light-emitting diodes. All polymers showed emission predominantly in the red/NIR region with only those polymers with porphyrin w/w of less than 2% showing residual tails at wavelengths lower than 600 nm, indicating increased emission from the porphyrin as w/w increases. The 2% loading of MPP(Pt) gave the highest efficiency LED (0.48%) and light output (2630 mW/m2).
Outcomes for students working in industry

description: Context: Engineering graduates without industrial experience may find that work is difficult to obtain immediately after completing their studies. Anecdotal evidence seems to suggest that work experience during an engineering course such as an industry-based learning (IBL) placement will assist in students' capstone projects, overall results in terms of grade point average (GPA), and employment prospects. As a result of their academic studies most engineering students have developed strong technical skills, and, as a consequence of their work experience, they may have developed 'soft' skills such as communication, teamwork, and interpersonal relations. In many tertiary institutes, 'soft' skills are often scaffolded all the way through the engineering program, but it is not until the IBL placement that students engage work in an industrial environment. The challenge within the tertiary environment is to determine if the students can translate their work experience to improve their academic performance. Purpose or goal: This study investigated the impact of two arrangements of work experiences; short term (over 12 weeks, STP) and long- term (over 52 weeks, IBL) on both final academic grades and capstone grades. The results from this work will inform future approaches of determining the benefits to students of the usefulness of industry based learning experiences (short or long term) as an indicator of academic performance, success in capstone project work, and employment. Approach: This work involved a study of a sample of undergraduate mechanical engineering students. The data was collected over two years (four semesters). The first and third semester mechanical engineering capstone unit had enrolments of approximately 20 each and the second and fourth semesters having capstone unit enrolments of approximately100 students each. All the students had completed IBL (usually undertaken in their penultimate year), or a short term placement (STP), which can be undertaken at any stage of the engineering course. Analysis of student academic results in the capstone project, as well as the overall GPA, was performed and related to the student's involvement with either IBL or STP. Actual or anticipated outcomes: Analysis of data between IBL and capstone project performance and GPA yielded a small but positive relationship. However, STP placements and associated overall GPA was inconclusive. Conclusions/Recommendations/Summary: This study found that students who spent time on work integrated learning or IBL in their penultimate year of their engineering course obtained better grades than those who did not undertake such a placement. One of the positive outcomes was that students' immediate employability was enhanced by the IBL experience, where a number were offered ongoing employment at the conclusion of their placement..

description: Real-time PCR assays using locked nucleic acid (LNA) probes and high resolution melt (HRM) analysis were developed for molecular differentiation of Pseudoperonospora cubensis and P. humuli, causal agents of cucurbit and hop downy mildew, respectively. The assays were based on a previously identified single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the cytochrome oxidase subunit II (cox2) gene that differentiates the two species. Sequencing of the same region from 15 P. cubensis isolates collected in New York State for the current study confirmed that all isolates shared the conserved SNP. LNA probes were specific and sensitive, detecting as few as 10 sporangia for both species and as little as 1 fg P. cubensis total DNA and 10 fg P. humuli total DNA. The LNA assay detected both pathogens from air sampled using spore traps placed in vegetable fields and a hop yard during the summers of 2013 and 2014 and correctly diagnosed symptomatic leaf tissue. High resolution melt analysis (HRM) correctly identified all tested isolates as well as those isolates from symptomatic plants collected in the field. The LNA and HRM assays correctly identified both organisms when tested independently in a second laboratory. The results confirm that the LNA and HRM assays developed can provide reliable identification of both species despite the high molecular similarity of the cox2 gene.
Pictures and words: Data collection proposal to investigate the affordances of current experiential learning environments
Creators: name: Vcelka, Martin

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Background: Experiential learning, traditionally conducted in on-campus laboratory venues, is the cornerstone of science and engineering education. The online delivery of engineering coursework endeavours to mimic this with remote and simulated laboratory experimentation. This paper describes the data collection process that was implemented to obtain data for the investigation of the affordances within existing face-to-face experiential learning environments.
Purpose: The data collection process is free of participant bias and facilitates the collection of "repeatable" analysis by researcher(s) and/or any other expert(s) and/or interested parties.
Design/Method: Following appropriate ethics approval, project team members at Swinburne University of Technology, Curtin University and Queensland University of Technology were asked to identify laboratory classes for inclusion in the data collection process. A number of fixed and wearable video cameras were used to record the participant activities during experimentation with both real and simulated equipment in a number of face-to-face venues. The collected data was de-identified and was analysed for identifiable student-student, student-demonstrator and student-equipment interactions.
Results: An innovative tool, Studiocode (http://www.studiocodegroup.com), was used to identify kikan-shido and over-the-shoulder-learning/teaching events which occurred during the observed experiential learning. These findings can be used to identify venue affordances. Details of the results obtained from this process, as well as their interpretation to obtain affordances, will be disseminated at a Master Class which will be held at this conference (AAEE2014 Conference Wellington, New Zealand).
Discussion: The use of video equipment ensured "repeatability" of both data collection and subsequent analyses. after an initial "break in" period, some participants became totally unaware of the presence of the video glasses and/or the fixed video camera and behaved as they would have otherwise.
Conclusions: Venue affordances were reliably identified from the data that was collected. However, the video glasses used did not allow for real-time streaming of the recordings, resulting in some unusable clips. The use of Google Glasses, to collect data on student activities will be investigated in 2015.

description: Im Zeitalter von Volatilität, Unsicherheit, Komplexität und Mehrdeutigkeit (VUCA) verändern sich Berufsbilder, auch die der konservativ orientierten Polizeiorganisationen. Diese Arbeit sucht nach Schlüsselkompetenzen von Fronteinsatzkräften im Jahr 2030. Dazu wird die Szenario-Technik verwendet und ergründet, inwiefern diese einen Beitrag zur strategischen Personalentwicklung ermöglicht. Methodisch baut die Arbeit auf einem linearen zweiteiligen Forschungsdesign auf. Im ersten Teil wurden mit der Szenario-Technik vier explorative Situationsszenarien entwickelt, im zweiten Teil mit Fokusgruppen Kompetenzen diskutiert. Resultierend sind die Schlüsselkompetenzen Kooperation, Veränderungsfähigkeit, kreatives Vorgehen, Ausdrucksfähigkeit und Integrationsfähigkeit. Darauf soll die Personalentwicklung von Polizeiorganisationen aufbauen. Die verwendete Methodik ermöglicht einen profunden Beitrag für die strategische Personalentwicklung. Darüber hinaus sollten sich Polizeiorganisationen mit Zukunftsbildern beschäftigen, um den gesellschaftlichen Wandeln zu antizipieren, Massnahmen abzuleiten und damit die Sicherheit zu erhöhen. Dazu soll Corporate Foresight institutionell verankert werden.

description: Societal interest and alarm in Malaysia is growing due to the substantial environmental impacts caused by considerable amounts of construction waste and energy consumption. Malaysian citizens are becoming increasingly concerned about how these impacts will affect their local communities and therefore are ever more attentive to the construction industry’s efforts to reduce waste and energy consumption. The aim of the present study is to measure the current status of the pro-environmental practices among construction industry practitioners. Data for the study came from a sample of 375 practitioners in Malaysia’s construction sector. Descriptive analysis was used for data analysis. The result indicates that overall in Malaysia, construction industry practitioners notice and implement pro-environmental practices in their construction projects at an acceptable level, yet, the results also demonstrate that some pro- environmental practices receive less attention; such as complying with industry codes of practice and considering suitable site development for the project. Findings from this study will be valuable in understanding the environmental practices that need more attention from policy makers.

description: Political inaction at the federal level in the United States has driven increased attention to the importance of planning for climate change at the metropolitan level. This study reports on a survey of 25 regional councils in the United States that measures the extent to which they have adopted climate change plans and to identify the factors that influence their ability to implement climate change initiatives. The findings revealed that a majority of regional councils are involved in planning for and seeking to reduce climate change, and that existing efforts in complementary policy domains make this involvement possible. The findings support a multi-level framework to assess the institutional capacity of regional councils to implement climate change policy and planning in a metropolitan area.

description: Although age-associated gene expression and methylation changes have been reported throughout the literature, the unifying epigenomic principles of aging remain poorly understood. Recent explosion in availability and resolution of functional/regulatory genome annotation data (epigenomic data), such as that provided by the ENCODE and Roadmap Epigenomics projects, provides an opportunity for the identification of epigenomic mechanisms potentially altered by age-associated differentially methylated regions (aDMRs) and regulatory signatures in the promoters of age-associated genes (aGENs). In this study we found that aDMRs and aGENs identified in multiple independent studies share a common Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 signature marked by EZH2, SUZ12, CTCF binding sites, repressive H3K27me3, and activating H3K4me1 histone modification marks, and a “poised promoter” chromatin state. This signature is depleted in RNA Polymerase II-associated transcription factor binding sites, activating H3K79me2, H3K36me3, H3K27ac marks, and an “active promoter” chromatin state. The PRC2 signature was shown to be generally stable across cell types. When considering the directionality of methylation changes, we found the PRC2 signature to be associated with aDMRs hypermethylated with age, while hypomethylated aDMRs were associated with enhancers. In contrast, aGENs were associated with the PRC2 signature independently of the directionality of gene expression changes. In this study we demonstrate that the PRC2 signature is the common epigenomic context of genomic regions associated with hypermethylation and gene expression changes in aging.
Alabaster: the grain of the voice and semblance

description: Lacan's writings show how an unconscious and decentred discourse parallels conscious narration and imbues it with the voice of the Other. A decentred and tropical discourse enables Barthes to write autobiography in the guise of fiction. Barthes' work foregrounds the discourse of the Other while also deconstructing the text. 'Alabaster' embeds poetry in a Lacanian matrix at a point in time when I lost my mother tongue. The oedipal connotations of the words 'embed' and 'matrix' are obvious, as is the fact that Lacan's formulation of the Law refer to the constituting agency of the Father. What happens, then when the speaker's filiation shifts to another language and when the form she chooses is poetry rather than the straightforward prose that has the imprimatur of the Law? 'Alabaster' combines poetry and theory to scrutinise the lining of the voice at the moment of learning to speak again in another language and uncovers paler shades of white in the guise of a semblance.

description: : Real-time PCR assays using locked nucleic acid (LNA) probes and high resolution melt (HRM) analysis were developed for molecular differentiation of Pseudoperonospora cubensis and P. humuli, causal agents of cucurbit and hop downy mildew, respectively. The assays were based on a previously identified single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the cytochrome oxidase subunit II (cox2) gene that differentiates the two species. Sequencing of the same region from 15 P. cubensis isolates collected in New York State for the current study confirmed that all isolates shared the conserved SNP. LNA probes were specific and sensitive, detecting as few as 10 sporangia for both species and as little as 1 fg P. cubensis total DNA and 10 fg P. humuli total DNA. The LNA assay detected both pathogens from air sampled using spore traps placed in vegetable fields and a hop yard during the summers of 2013 and 2014 and correctly diagnosed symptomatic leaf tissue. High resolution melt analysis (HRM) correctly identified all tested isolates as well as those isolates from symptomatic plants collected in the field. The LNA and HRM assays correctly identified both organisms when tested independently in a second laboratory. The results confirm that the LNA and HRM assays developed can provide reliable identification of both species despite the high molecular similarity of the cox2 gene.

description: Atorvastatin (ATO), rosuvastatin (RST) and simvastatin (SIM) are commonly used drugs that belong to the statin family (lowering human blood cholesterol levels) and have been detected as contaminants in natural waters. Stability and removal of ATO, RST and SIM from spiked wastewater produced at the Al-Quds University campus were investigated. All three statins were found to undergo degradation in wastewater (activated sludge). The degradation reactions of the three drugs in wastewater at room temperature follow first-order kinetics with rate constants of 2.2 × 10−7 s−1 (ATO), 1.8 × 10−7 s−1 (RST) and 1.8 × 10−6 s−1 (SIM), which are larger than those obtained in pure water under the same conditions, 1.9 × 10−8 s−1 (ATO), 2.2 × 10−8 s−1 (RST) and 6.2 × 10−7 s−1 (SIM). Degradation products were identified by LC-MS and LC/MS/MS. The overall performance of the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) installed in the Al-Quds University campus towards the removal of these drugs was assessed showing that more than 90% of spiked ATO, RST and SIM were removed. In order to evaluate the efficiency of alternative removal methods to replace ultra-filtration membranes, adsorption isotherms for the three statins were investigated using both activated carbon and clay–micelle complex as adsorbents. The batch adsorption isotherms for the three statins were found to fit the Langmuir equation, with a larger number of adsorption sites and binding affinity for micelle–clay composite compared with activated carbon and filtration experiments of the three statins and their corresponding metabolites demonstrated a more efficient removal by micelle–clay filters.

description: "Seven" is a film that explores the struggle of detectives Somerset and Mills against the inherent evil of the world around them. Through the investigation of a series of murders inspired by the seven deadly sins, the complex worldview of Detective Somerset on the darkness of the world is revealed, contrasted with the hope and idealism of the young detective Mills. The film delves into themes such as evil, fear, and faith in humanity, ultimately concluding with a reflection on the inevitability of evil and the difficult fight against it. The film offers a deep critique of modern society and the existential void many face when confronting the harshness of reality.
