description: The aim of this study is to assess the cost-effectiveness of fruquintinib compared to regorafenib as third-line treatment for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) in China. A three-state Markov model with monthly cycle was constructed to estimate lifetime incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) of fruquintinib versus regorafenib as third-line treatment for patients with mCRC from Chinese health care perspective. Survival analysis was applied to calculate transition probabilities using the data from the clinical trials FRESCO and CONCUR, which were also the data sources accessing probabilities of adverse events. Background mortality rate and drug costs were derived from government published data. Costs for medical services were obtained from real-world data and published literatures. Utilities applied to calculate the quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) were obtained from literature review. One-way sensitivity analysis and probabilistic sensitivity analysis were adopted to verify the robustness of the results. Fruquintinib provided 0.74 QALYs at a cost of CNY 151,058 (USD 22,888), whereas regorafenib provided 0.79 QALYs at a cost of CNY 226,657 (USD 32,224). Compared to fruquintinib, the ICER of regorafenib was CNY 1,529,197/QALY (USD 231,697/QALY) from Chinese health care perspective, which was above the triple GDP per capita of China in 2019 (CNY 212,676) (USD 32,224) as the threshold to define the cost-effectiveness. One-way sensitivity analysis showed the results were generally robust. Cost-effectiveness acceptability curves derived from probabilistic sensitivity analysis demonstrated the probability that fruquintinib was more cost-effective was 100% when the threshold was the triple GDP per capita of China. Compared to regorafenib, fruquintinib, which leads to forego about 0.05 QALYs and save about CNY 75,599 (USD 11,454), is a cost-effective choice as the third-line treatment for patients with mCRC in China.

description: We propose a new method for estimation of the hazard function from a set of censored failure time data, with a view to extending the general approach to more complicated models. The approach is based on a mixed model representation of penalized spline hazard estimators. One payoff is the automation of the smoothing parameter choice through restricted maximum likelihood. Another is the option to use standard mixed model software for automatic hazard estimation.

description: Protein structure prediction produces atomic models from its amino acid sequence. Three-dimensional structures are important for understanding the function mechanism of proteins. Knowing the structure of a given protein is crucial in drug development design of novel enzymes. AlphaFold2 is a protein structure prediction tool with good performance in recent CASP competitions. Phenix is a tool for determination of a protein structure from a high-resolution 3D molecular image. Recent development of Phenix shows that it is capable to refine predicted models from AlphaFold2, specifically the poorly predicted regions, by incorporating information from the 3D image of the protein. The goal of this project is to understand the strengths and weaknesses of the approach that combines Phenix and AlphaFold2 using broader data. This analysis may provide insights for enhancement of the approach.
The public sector employment relationship and management morality: conceptualising a correlation utilising a multi-dimensional typology of public sector morality (PSM)

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: The Public service of Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom in the recent years have undergone fundamental changes in many aspects of senior service employment relations. A debate has arisen on the potential impact of these changes on public service morality (see Halligan and O'Grady, 85; Doig, 95; Greenway, 95; Keating, 95; Parker, 89; Self, 95; Considine 88; Thompson, 91; and Pratchett and Wingfield, 96). This paper concentrates at the level of the public manager - minister/councillor interface and is concerned with developing a suitable analytical framework to examine whether or not there is a correlation between the public service employment relationship and public service morality (PSM). It introduces and develops the concept of a multi dimensional framework for analysing PSM. The framework consists of four dimensions of the dependent variable PSM - anonymity, partisanship, obedience, and means-end relationship and three heuristic ethical patterns - service, neutrality and technocratic. Two types of employment relationships are introduced as independent variables: Northcote-Trevelyan (NTER), and managerialist (MER). The paper generates several tentative hypotheses linking the nature of the employment relationship and the PSM dimensions. The conceptual scheme has the potential to be applied in countries which have followed or continue to follow the Westminster style of public service.

How Should We Measure `Change' in Utility Measures of Health Staus - or Should We?

Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: The two standard requirements of instruments that measure cross-sectional differences in respect of abstract and subjective phenomena (such as health status or health related quality of life) are reliability and validity. However, for evaluative instruments (those designed to measure longitudinal change) another property is required: the instrument must be sensitive to clinically important changes over time, even if such changes are small. To the extent that economic evaluation is dependent on the equality of the underlying medical evidence; and the assessment of the efficiency becomes (more) "vertically integrated" with the assessment of the efficacy and effectiveness dimensions of health care, as prophesied by Drummond and Stoddart (1984), health economists, too, may have to become concerned with measuring responsiveness. The question of responsiveness also lies at the root of some of the disputation about whether to use disease-specific or generic health status measures and the clinical significance or usefulness of scores on health status instruments. The literature on the measurement of change is often confusing and contradictory. There is controversy on at least two fronts: whether a separate concept in necessary and if it is, how should it be measured. Some researchers advocate the use of change scores as the best approach to the analysis of treatment effects and others maintain that they should be avoided like the plague. We explore the issues surrounding the measurement of change scores and the methodological advantages and disadvantages surrounding the several change measures that have been suggested. We also examine the limited literature on the extent to which utility measures of health status are capable of measuring change. Implications for the practice of economic evaluation are drawn.

Labour Market Deregulation in Australia: The Slow Combustion Approach to Workplace Change

description: Since the beginning of the 1990s Australia has experienced a gradual but far-reaching process of labour market deregulation. Labour market deregulation has proceeded primarily through the dismantling of the distinctive system of awards - the main avenue of external, protective regulation in Australia for much of the twentieth century. This paper examines labour market deregulation and its implications for the Australian workforce. It situates the changes in terms of their institutional starting point in the award system and the growing pressures in the 1980s for increased labour market flexibility. It argues that labour market deregulation is amplifying existing trends to growth in precarious employment, wage dispersion and the development of a lowpay sector amongst full-time employees. In addition, it is sponsoring a significant fragmentation of working-time arrangements.
Stakeholder engagement and the responsibility assumption

Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017

description: The purpose of this paper is to explicate the notion of stakeholder engagement and, in doing so, to dispel the common assumption that stakeholder engagement is necessarily a morally responsible practice. Stakeholder engagement is traditionally seen as corporate responsibility in action. Indeed, in some literature there exists an assumption that the more an organisation engages with its stakeholders, the more it is responsible. This simple 'more is better' view of stakeholder engagement belies the true complexity of the relationship between engagement and corporate responsibility. Stakeholder engagement may be understood in a variety of different ways and from a variety of different theoretical perspectives. Engagement based relationships may or may not involve a moral dimension. Hence, from even from an ethical point of view, engagement is not necessarily a moral practice. It is therefore argued that stakeholder engagement must be seen as separate from, but related to, corporate responsibility. A model that eflects the multifaceted relationship between the two constructs is proposed.
Two Steps Forward, One Step Back: Australian Union Revival

description: Australian union membership declined at over one per cent per annum through the 1990s, and unions now represent around a quarter of the workforce. The Australian Council of Trade Unions [ACTU] has pursued several strategies aimed at tackling this malaise. The central purpose of this paper is to chronicle two of these strategies: union restructuring and the move to an 'organising' model of trade unionism. These strategies were championed by the ACTU as key planks in encouraging union recruitment and retention. The union restructuring strategy was successful in reducing the number of federally registered trade unions from 326 to 142. However, according to one observer [Fairbrother 2000], the result of these mergers is the creation of large-multi-sector and occupational unions, beset by uneasy internal political alliances and class compromises. The move to an `organising' model of unionism has been met with successes on the one hand, and resistance on the other. There are still unions locked into the servicing model rather than adopting a dual or balanced approach of servicing and recruitment. It seems like these strategies are like the curate's egg - partly good and partly bad and not wholly satisfactory, especially in arresting the carnage associated with declining union membership.
Is there a new model of public sector HRM

Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: It is now commonly accepted that a new model of public management is firmly in place across all levels of government in Australia. Governments of all political complexions pursue policies of relentless down-sizing, privatisation and contracting out. The role of government as producer and provider of an extensive range of goods and services has been supplanted by the much simpler notion that government should 'steer' rather than 'row'. The Weberian paradigm of bureaucratic organisation that characterised public management in Australia for much of this century is thus distinctly out of favour. Public services at both state and Commonwealth levels are being re-structured to remove those characteristics most closely associated with the discredited bureaucratic model. In all of this, the objective is to make the management of the public sector resemble as much as possible that of the private sector. It would be reasonable, therefore, to expect that there should be a new model of public sector human resource management to complement the new public management. However, early signs suggest that this is not yet the case and that human resource management in the public sector is currently an uncomfortable Weberian/managerialist hybrid which is unlikely to be displaced until a suitable replacement becomes available.

description: We use the information content in the decisions of the NBER Business Cycle Dating Committee to construct coincident and leading indices of economic activity for the United States. Although several authors have devised sophisticated coincident indices with the ultimate goal of matching NBER recessions, no one has used past information on NBER recessions to construct a coincident index. A second ingredient of our method is that we only use the cyclical part of the coincident series to explain the NBER recession indicator. Specifically, we use canonical correlation analysis to filter out the noisy information contained in the coincident series. Finally, to construct our preferred coincident index of the U.S. business cycle, we take account of measurement error in the commonly used coincident series by using instrumental-variable methods. The resulting index is a simple linear combination of four coincident series that encompasses currently popular coincident indices.
Second Homes in Australia: an Exploration of Statistical Sources

description: Second homes have been given little attention in the literature of Australian tourism. This is due to their sitting outside the traditional industry structure, ignored as they are not businesses or part of an industry sector. However, second homes are important in two ways. First, they are a major supplier of accommodation for domestic tourists and have a significant impact on the tourism economy. Second, they tend to be found in high concentrations in certain localities, particularly some beach resorts. At such high levels they may have major environmental and social impacts. In order to understand second homes, their impacts and their place within Australian tourism, it is necessary to have reliable and accurate data. It may be thought that such data cannot exist due to the non-commercial nature of second homes. However, this paper presents details of three statistical collections which do provide important information about second homes. These data sources are available Australia-wide (though here my emphasis is on the Victorian coast) and are produced regularly, making it possible in time to identify trends.

Evaluation of humor as a coping mechanism to reduce stress in healthcare professionals during the COVID19 pandemic
Creators: name: Delle Donna, Jane
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2022

description: Purpose of the Project Healthcare is considered one of the top most stressful occupations and introducing a pandemic disease into an already demanding and stressful occupation can only increase healthcare professionals’ level of stress. Efforts have been made to address the increased level of stress in healthcare professionals dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic, however there is little evidence that these interventions are effective. Research shows that humor is an effective way of decreasing stress. The purpose of this project was to get baseline stress levels of healthcare professionals during the COVID-19 pandemic, and assess if these stress levels decrease after participating in the Online Humor Video Program. MethodologyThe Perceived Stress Scale 10 was used to assess healthcare professionals’ stress levels Pre and Post implementation of the Online Humor Video Program. Descriptive analysis was used to display results. ResultsDue to low response rate, the results cannot be considered statistically significant. However, the two participants that did complete the entire study had lower PSS-10 scores after participation in the Online Humor Video Program, which indicates lower levels of stress. Future research should focus on larger sample sizes to ensure statistically significant results. Implications for PracticeImproving healthcare professionals mental health and introducing valuable coping mechanisms to deal with stress, such as the Online Humor Video Program can prevent near misses, adverse events and burnout. It is crucial that all healthcare providers are working at their optimal level, especially during a pandemic such as COVID-19, to ensure providing quality, safe, patient care.

description: This paper represents the first phase of a study designed to investigate the degree of integration (or fragmentation) of key knowledge management (KM), organisational learning (OL) and innovation processes that exist within Australian organisations, and to increase our understanding of the costs, benefits, drivers, and barriers for such integration. A review of the literature provides a clear indication of the links between KM, OL, and innovation. For example, innovation, conceived by Drucker as an effort to purposely develop an organisation's economic or social potential, has been linked to OL, which Senge conceptualised as an effort to enhance an organisation's capacity for effective action. Similar links can be seen between OL and KM, where the primary distinction between the two concepts appears to lie only within the mental model of the practitioner; one who comes from an IT-related discipline tends to adopt a KM bias, whereas those with a foundation in organisational behaviour will tend towards OL.
The Effect of Education on the Timing of Marriage and First Conception in Pakistan

description: It is often argued that a rapid rise in educational attainment of women, an increase in the age at marriage and an increase in the age at first birth are key features of demographic transition in any country. Education is the prime catalyst in this process because increases in educational attainment are likely to significantly affect both age at marriage and the duration to first conception - in particular increasing both the age at marriage and the time to first child. This paper uses individual level unit record data from Pakistan to examine the effect of education on the age at marriage and on the duration between marriage and first conception. We estimate a structural model, which accounts for the interaction between the three main variables of interest. Our estimation results show that women who have more education delay marriage but increased educational attainment does not have a significant effect on the duration to first conception. Women who marry late have a child faster. Education of the husband significantly affects the time to first conception.

description: This paper examines the short-and long-run relationships between visitor arrivals to Fiji, real disposable incomes, and own-hotel price and substitute hotel price for the period 1970-2000, using the bounds testing approach to cointegration and error correction models. The paper's main contribution is that it generates bounds F-statistic critical values specific to the study's sample size (31 observations) and finds that critical values are 35.5% higher than those reported in Pesaran et al. (2001) for 1000 observations and 17.1% higher than those reported in Pesaran and Pesaran (1997) for 500 observations for a model with 4 regressors and an intercept. In the light of this, we tabulate critical values for sample sizes ranging from 30 observations to 80 observations, which will be useful for future researchers using the bounds testing approach to cointegration.

description: Metal-oxide semiconductors are of great interest for gas-sensing applications. We provide new insights into the mode of operation of ceria-based gas sensors during ethanol gas sensing using combined operando Raman–gas-phase FTIR spectroscopy. Visible Raman spectroscopy is employed to monitor the presence of oxygen vacancies in ceria via F₂g mode softening, while simultaneously recorded FTIR spectra capture the gas-phase composition. Such an experimental approach allowing the direct observation of oxygen vacancies in metal-oxide gas sensors has not been reported in the literature. By systematically varying the gas atmosphere and temperature, we can relate the sensor response to the spectroscopic signals, enabling us to obtain new fundamental insight into the functioning of metal-oxide semiconductor gas sensors, as well as their differences from heterogeneous catalysts.

description: Given the current gap in knowledge concerning the macrofungal diversity of holm-oak forests at the northern limit of their distribution range and in the Basque Country, a mycocoenological study was conducted by sampling 23 randomly selected permanent plots from 6 holm-oak forests. To obtain a better understanding of the macrofungal diversity distribution pattern on a regional scale, forests from both the temperate and Mediterranean-type climate regions of the Basque Country were selected, covering all their phytocoenological variation. After 4 years of sampling, a total of 377 macrofungal species were collected: 209 ectomycorrhizal species, 86 humicolous saprotrophs, 40 saprotrophs on litter, 36 lignicolous saprotrophs, 3 coprophilous saprotrophs and 3 parasitic species. Species considered characteristic of this kind of forest, such as Cortinarius aurilicis, Cortinarius callochrous, Cortinarius ionochlorus, Hygrophorus leucophaeo-ilicis, Hygrophorus persoonii, Hygrophorus russula, Lactarius atlanticus, Lactarius ilicis, Leccinellum lepidum, were recorded all over the territory, but Mediterranean forests were richer in species and more productive in sporocarps than temperate ones. Species assemblage was found to change gradually at local scale from temperate to Mediterranean climate zones, and was distinct to each phytocoenological association with all species, with ectomycorrhizal species and with saprotrophs.

description: A marine science laboratory in coastal California. A joint medical school between two universities. A German institution with four different versions of its name (German, English, Slovenian, Croatian). A small college in Vermont that is shutting down.

 In a registry of research organizations, does the marine science laboratory belong? Should there be one record for the medical school, or two, or…..? Which should be the official name of the German institution? How should the registry indicate that the Vermont college is no longer active? These are actual examples of the types of data curation decisions that the Research Organization Registry (ROR) is encountering as it builds out the registry following the initial launch in January 2019.

 Much of the focus in the PID community tends to be on maintaining and supporting identifiers themselves, but what practices should we follow to manage all of the other metadata associated with PIDs? To solve this problem in an institutional context, ROR is establishing a community curation board to bring together experts from across the PID, library, and research communities to collectively approach the challenges and opportunities in curating institutional metadata. In this interactive session, participants will step into the shoes of our fledgling curation committee and walk through actual curation scenarios, working together to design solutions to institutional identity problems. Choose your own curation adventure! Help us design workflows and policies that support both PIDs and all of the metadata around them! This session will be facilitated by the ROR Outreach team along with members of the ROR Community.

description: The implications of the international demonstration effect (IDE) for the development of underdeveloped economies have long been studied and debated. Yet few formal analyses exist in the literature, especially regarding its implications for the growth of domestic markets and the division of labour in developing economies. We offer an analysis of endogenous specialization under IDE, the first of its kind, showing that, far more complicated than the scenario held by conventional wisdom, IDE makes more difficult the emergence of the market underpinning the domestic division of labour, but facilitates the expansion of the market once the market has been developed.

description: This paper demonstrates the application of Bayesian simulation-based estimation to a class of interest rate models known as Affine Term Structure (ATS) models. The technique used is based on a Markov Chain Monte Carlo algorithm, with the discrete observations on yields augmented by additional higher frequency latent data. The introduction of augmented yield data reduces the bias associated with estimating a continuous time model using discretely observed data. The technique is demonstrated using a one-factor ATS model, with the latent factor process that underlies the yields sampled via a single-move algorithm. Numerical application of the method is demonstrated using both simulated and empirical data. Extension of the method to a three-factor ATS model is also discussed, as well as the application of a multi-move sampler based on a Kalman Filtering and Smoothing algorithm.

title: Understanding the Natural History of Juvenile Amblyomma maculatum in Southeastern Virginia
Creators: name: Espada, Christina
name: Gaff, Holly
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University Libraries
Year: 2022

description: Amblyomma maculatum, the Gulf Coast tick, is a species of increasing public health concern. Adult A. maculatum is a known vector of several pathogens including Rickettsia parkeri, the causative agent of Rickettsia parkeri rickettsiosis. Amblyomma maculatum has expanded northward from its historic range along the Gulf Coast, with populations reportedly establishing in southeastern Virginia in 2010. Recently established populations of A. maculatum tend to have higher R. parkeri infection prevalence compared to longer established populations. This pattern holds for all populations found so far in southeastern Virginia, with a prevalence of R. parkeri in about 60% of A. maculatum compared to a prevalence of around 10-40% in these ticks in most regions of the United States. While the predominant hosts of all life stages of A. maculatum in Virginia are unknown, preliminary work has found native rodent species acting as hosts to immature A. maculatum, with two species likely playing a role in the enzootic cycle of R. parkeri.

Adventure tourists on water: linking expectations, affect, achievement and enjoyment to the adventure
Creators: name: Morgan, Damian

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This exploratory study examined a range of factors that surround participants' experiences in adventure tourism activities. Participants (n=73) engaged in two water-based adventure tourism activities (white-water rafting and sea-kayaking) were categorised into either a low challenge or a high challenge group based on the discrepancy between ratings of post-adventure risk and competence. Significant differences were found between these challenge groups on their expectation of the likelihood of injury in both activities. Further differences were found between the rafting challenge groups on measures of affect (tense and threatened) and the sea-kayaking challenge group on sources of enjoyment (arousal and challenge). Based on these differences, and in consideration of the duration of each activity, adventure tourists are categorised into one of four categories: fearless thrill-seekers, daring thrill-seekers, ecotourists, and competence-testers.
Migrants and technological transfer: chinese farming in Australia, 1850-1920
Creators: name: Frost, Warwick

description: Chinese farming in Australia between 1850 and 1920 has generally been given little attention, being usually characterised as just market gardening, but with little other detail especially about its development and characteristics. This article argues that Chinese farming was both complex and dynamic. Initially Chinese farming was primarily casual labouring along European lines. However, from the 1880s onwards, Chinese farming became more specialised, focussing on a wide range of high-value, labour-intensive crops. The skill of the Chinese was not just the transference of farming techniques from China, but also in their entrepreneurship and ability to adapt their techniques to the Australian environment. Despite widespread European racism, some Europeans sought to capture the benefits of Chinese farming, developing European - Chinese partnerships. After 1900 Chinese farming declined in scale and diversity. The adoption of labourintensive techniques by European farmers led to a decline in European-Chinese partnerships and the squeezing of Chinese farmers out of niche markets.

description: The separable microneedles (MNs), consisted of upper metformin-loaded PCL arrowheads and lower PVA/PCL supporting array, have been fabricated by separately molding method. The metformin-loaded and thermal ablation MNs arrowheads were capped on dissolving solid supporting array. The as-fabricated MNs exhibited an excellent thermal ablation change due to the low melting point of PCL. After insertion into the skin, the upper separable MNs arrowheads could be embedded into the skin. When the separable MNs arrowheads were exposed to thermal stimulus, causing the PCL MNs arrowheads to melt and enabling the release of encapsulated metformin to be thermally modulated.
Stakeholders and strategic planning: experiences of an Australian nonprofit organization 1993 - 2001

description: Under pressure from declining government support and increased competition, many nonprofit organizations in Australia have tried to incorporate strategic planning processes. A cursory view would regard the strategic planning process to be similar for organizations, profit focussed or not. However, this paper will suggest that developing a strategic plan can be a more complex and challenging task for nonprofits. While their goals are frequently amorphous, and measures of performance difficult to define, the many stakeholders who may be involved cause the major problems. This paper discusses stakeholder theory, then the experiences of an Australian nonprofit organization as it attempted to develop a strategic plan. It argues that existing models of strategic planning do not adequately allow for the strength of the legitimate, powerful and urgent needs of stakeholders in nonprofit organizations, and that nonprofits need to carefully consider the rewards and pitfalls of strategic planning before embarking on the process.

The Transferable Permit Market: A Solution to Antibiotic Resistance?

description: In a previous paper the authors argued that antibiotic resistance will be best controlled by a system of tradeable permits. It was argued that use of charges or regulation to achieve a reduction, or control, of resistance would not be efficient. Regulation will not account for different marginal costs of reducing antibiotic prescription among GPs, but charges, although based on sound economic concepts, are based on an unrealistic amount of required information. The regulatory problem is to constrain prescription to achieve a desired reduction in antibiotic resistance. However, given informational uncertainties and variance in resistance, as well as other areas important in this system, such regulation or charges will not be efficient. It was argued, therefore, that permits, by combining the targets of regulation and the market flexibility of charges, would achieve the government's objectives more efficiently than simple regulation and be more practical than simple charges. The attraction of permits is to put an effective limit on the use of antibiotics but in a flexible manner. In this paper the authors progress this proposed policy by considering various important issues which arise in attempting to design such a tradeable permit system for antibiotics. Peculiarities of such a permit system, coupled with the peculiarities of healthcare, make this a tricky market to develop. The paper is therefore not an exhaustive plan enabling a blueprint for such a market to be designed, but a proposal from which certain issues are raised, and which can be used as platform for further development of such an initiative to deal with resistance. Given the degree of uncertainty surrounding resistance patterns, however, achieving a global limit will necessarily be pretty arbitrary, but it is better than no global limit at all!

title: A Spatially and Temporally Second Order Method for Solving Parabolic Interface Problems
Creators: name: Gamage, Kumudu
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University Libraries
Year: 2022

description: Parabolic interface problems have many applications in physics and biology, such as hyperthermia treatment of cancer, underground water flow, and food engineering. Here we present an algorithm for solving two-dimensional parabolic interface problems where the coefficient and the forcing term have a discontinuity across the interface. The Crank-Nicolson scheme is used for time discretization, and the direct immersed interface method is used for spatial discretization. The proposed method is second order in both space and time for both solution and gradients in maximum norm.
