description: (1) Background: Condomless anal sex and substance use are associated with STI risk among gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (gbMSM). Our first study objective was to describe event-level sexual risk and substance use trends among gbMSM. Our second study objective was to describe substances associated with event-level sexual risk. (2) Methods: Data come from the Momentum Health Study in Vancouver, British Columbia and participants were recruited from 2012–2015, with follow-up until 2018. Stratified by self-reported HIV status, we used generalized estimating equations to assess trends of sexual event-level substance use and assessed interactions between substance use and time period on event-level higher risk sex defined as condomless anal sex with an HIV serodifferent or unknown status partner. (3) Results: Event-level higher risk anal sex increased across the study period among HIV-negative/unknown (baseline prevalence: 13% vs. study end prevalence: 29%) and HIV-positive gbMSM (baseline prevalence: 16% vs. study end prevalence: 38%). Among HIV-negative/unknown gbMSM, event-level erectile drug use increased, while alcohol use decreased over the study period. Overall, interactions between substance use and time on higher risk anal sex were not statistically significant, regardless of serostatus. However, we found a number of time-specific significant interactions for erectile drugs, poppers, Gamma-hydroxybutyrate (GHB), crystal methamphetamine and ecstasy/MDMA use among HIV-negative/unknown gbMSM. (4) Conclusion: Significant differences in substance use trends and associated risks exist and are varied among gbMSM by serostatus. These findings provide a more comprehensive understanding of the effects of event-level substance use on sexual risk through longitudinal follow-up of nearly six years.

The perception of part-time students in on-line education: an exploratory study
Creators: name: Karagiannidis, Vanaja

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The introduction of on-line or web-based teaching and learning is becoming an increasingly important part of higher education (Ngai, Poon & Chan, 2007). On-line interactive distance learning tends to be the future direction of learning because the literature on future learning tends to promote global learning from different places, plus this mode of learning seeks to motivate interactions between students, and between students and the instructor, in the pursuit of improved knowledge based construction (Kochtanek & Hein, 2000). This paper analyses the part-time business students' perceptions of an on-line/interactive/distance learning unit via the Blackboard platform. The emergence of the Internet has become a major force and a trend in higher education with many schools or disciplines experimenting with different forms of on-line instructions. An important factor that has been largely ignored is how students feel about on-line learning courses or units? This study discovered that students have appeared to like and accept on-line unit as an alternative to the traditional classroom face-to-face learning unit. Simultaneously, students appear to value using a technology support tool such as the 'Blackboard' to facilitate their part-time studies. Further research is needed to expand the scope of this paper and to see whether these results can be generalised in other university settings. As it appears that on-line instruction is going to become part of college experience, future research is needed to understand about the use of new voice concept for Blackboard instruction and its use for better learning or replacement of traditional face-to-face classroom concept.

Year: 2025
Subjects: subject: polynomial factorization
subject: Cardano’s formula
subject: Group Theory

subject: quintic polynomials

description: This paper investigates the evolution and theory of polynomial factorization, tracing a path from classical solutions of quadratics to modern techniques for analyzing quintic polynomials. We begin with foundational methods for factoring quadratics and cubics, including Cardano’s formula and its algebraic extensions. Moving into quartic equations, we compare the approaches of Ferrari and Descartes, and introduce Lagrange’s revolutionary perspective on root symmetries. This sets the stage for a deeper exploration into the structure of polynomials through Group Theory and Gröbner bases. While traditional methods fail to provide general solutions for the quintic, we demonstrate how modern algebraic tools and computational techniques allow us to investigate its structure through the lens of the symmetry.

Subjects: subject: Feminism
subject: Women Artists
subject: Art History

description: Focusing on the female form and the concept of identity construction and its fluidity as reflected in works of surrealist art, this paper analyzes visual images, including painting, works of collage, sculpture and photography. As the surrealist movement migrated and transformed over the past one hundred years, so too has the image and meaning of the female form. This focus on the female image and the role of women in surrealism deals with notions of identity and gender norms, reframing the concept of the “ideal” woman, ideas of embodiment/disembodiment, existential tensions, and the various ways these concepts are portrayed. This paper touches on the theoretical Freudian influences of surrealism, investigates the ways artists over time have redefined the ideological grounds for the movement, and how it inspired interrelated transcultural exchanges. By looking at the influence and legacy of surrealism from a global scope, not confined to a time period, and not confined to those artists who attempted to lay claim to the label, its definition, and its membership, my research starts with and then moves away from a historically hegemonic Paris-centered viewpoint—instead as something dynamic and dislocated. The method of my research is influenced by Mark Miller Graham’s critique of art historical discourses in terms of canonicity, chronology, closure, and subjectivity, leading me to look at surrealism beyond traditional narratives and to apply that method to questions about the representation of the female body in surrealist art.

title: A Multiple-Case Study Examining Public Health Leadership and Innovation to Address the COVID-19 Pandemic

Subjects: subject: public health
subject: innovation
subject: leadership and organizational change
subject: complexity
subject: COVID-19 pandemic

description: The COVID-19 pandemic was an unprecedented health crisis with a plethora of environmental, political, and societal events and issues that added to its complexity. Traditional emergency preparedness methods of addressing a crisis were insufficient, challenging public health leaders. Although there is substantial evidence of innovation as a response to crisis in the general leadership literature, there is limited research on the adoption of innovative practices by public health leaders and when there is a significant disruption to public health care systems. The purpose of this multiple-case study was to examine how public health leaders adopted innovation in response to a significant public health crisis. Specifically, this research focused on how public health leaders from state governments adopted innovation to address the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, this study explored the formal and informal networks that public health leaders facilitated for the generation and adoption of innovative solutions. Four theories provided the theoretical framework for this study: punctuated equilibrium, complexity leadership, innovation, and the socio-ecological model. Public health leaders from three state governments were interviewed and fifteen key stakeholders who worked with them to implement innovative solutions. Additionally, publicly available documents related to innovative initiatives led by these public health leaders were reviewed. Findings from this study suggest that public health leaders adapted to the disruption by staying focused on the mission, fostering communication for information-gathering, and maintaining trust and engagement with stakeholders. Tensions had to be managed by listening, communicating, and collaborating, requiring high emotional resilience. Paradigm shifts were made out of necessity to adapt to the environmental disturbance. Innovations were adopted through a blend of top-down, bottom-up, and adaptive collaborative efforts, embracing a decentralized approach to decision-making. Sometimes, it was necessary to augment existing evidence-based strategies, recognizing the social and cultural contexts to address the root causes of inefficiencies. Public health leaders leveraged formal and informal networks, capitalizing on pre-existing relationships and building new partnerships to create a unified response. The findings of this study contribute valuable insights on leadership for innovation and how public health leaders can be prepared for innovation during a significant crisis.

description: [From paper:] Urban development is frequently regarded as beneficial, improving the visual aesthetic and economy of a city. However, urban development often ignores the use value (communal value rather than economic value) of communities perceived as “blighted.” The use of the word blight to describe urban communities gained traction as sentiments for urban renewal grew. In the first half of the 20th century, blight was used as “a rhetorical device that enabled renewal advocates to reorganize property ownership by declaring certain real estate dangerous to the future of the city” (Pritchett 3). Because others had resentment towards low-income neighborhoods, real estate moguls saw an opportunity to capitalize, beginning a call for new urban development to correct these blighted areas. Today, urban development is instead referred to as gentrification, but the effect is the same. This paper will discuss how the history of urban development in the United States, specifically in Baltimore City, has harmed pre-existing Black communities. Gentrification—which is the process whereby private developers invest in impoverished urban areas in order to profit off of real estate and new businesses that become aesthetically pleasing to upper-middle class residents—has ultimately resulted in serial displacements of preexisting residents. This paper argues that rather than urban development and gentrification, the public participation of existing communities is essential for the health of neighborhoods.

Subjects: subject: African American Studies
subject: Race Studies

description: This portfolio project synthesizes three final papers in the Humanities Masters program that share themes of race, space, and American Identity, arguing that a true and inclusive understanding of the nation requires the recognition of African American identity as centreal to its formation. Through critical analyses of Jacob Lawrence's Migration Series, James Baldwin's existential thought, and the spatial history of Baltimore, the project demonstrates how African American cultural production and lived experience contest dominant national narratives. Drawing on historiography, spatial theory, literary analysis, and exploration of narrative authority, the thesis asserts that American identity remains a fundamentally contested and imagined construct--one that must reckon with its exclusions to become whole.

description: [From paper:] Music has been an integral part of human civilizations for roughly 35,000 years. From the most isolated tribes, to booming metropolises, music still plays a significant role in every culture throughout the world. Music has clearly been a substantial part of human culture for thousands of years, but many question its true value in a wider sense. Modern research suggests that music therapy, which is the implementation of music to achieve a desired goal or outcome like mental clarity or improved focus, could be incredibly helpful to people around the world. The effects of music on brain functions such as auditory processing, emotional processing, and cognitive control exemplify the amazing benefits music therapy can have.

Kingdom of Edom
Creators: name: Danielson, Andrew
Publisher: name: Database of Religious History (DRH)
Year: 2021

description: Edom appears to have had two major phases of activity during the Iron Age (1200–550 BCE). Early in the Iron Age activity and social complexity was focused in the lowland regions of the Arabah and centered in large part on the industrial exploitation of copper resources in the region. This period was marked by primarily mobile non-sedentary communities, and as such, lacks substantial textual or settlement data. This entry focusses on the second major phase of Edom, dated to the late Iron Age (ca. 750–550 BCE), where there is substantially more robust data. At this time Edom was centered in the highlands of southern Transjordan around a series of small settlements and agricultural villages, dominated by its foremost city of Busayra. The region yet retained a large mobile pastoral component. Substantial textual sources for this region are lacking, so much of the relevant data derives from short inscriptions and archaeological data. Similarities in lifeways, social structures, etc., between Edom and its neighbors to the north and west (Moab, Ammon, Judah), allows for relevant comparisons and extrapolations to be made, particularly concerning religious practices. Similar to the other Iron Age polities of the southern Levant, many gods are attested in Edom, though the deity Qos (Qaus/Qws) appears to have served as the foremost deity of the land, its populace, and of the ruling elite of Edom. Qos appears to have functioned as a local variant of the “storm god” and/or “divine warrior” type. Knowledge of Qos is primarily restricted to short inscriptions and names. Evidence for religious practices (to Qos and other deities) can be found in individual homes, at poorly understood regional ritual sites, at several shrines (Horvat Qitmit and En Hazeva) and in a large temple complex at Busayra that likely centered on the worship of Qos and presumably a consort.

description: Title: N-K Model Analysis of Star Formation in ESA Webb Image POTM2501a: A Reinterpretation of NGC 6302-like Plasma Decay

 

Description:

This paper reinterprets the ESA Webb Space Telescope image POTM2501a—claimed to depict a star in the process of formation—through the lens of the Noor-Kun (N-K) Model. By applying advanced N-K theoretical parameters and astrophysical equations, we argue that the observed phenomena correspond not to stellar birth but to the final stages of a star resembling NGC 6302 (the Butterfly Nebula), marked by plasma fragmentation, high-frequency decay emissions, and radiation shell dispersion. Core calculations include energy flux estimations, Noor density decay, Kun field oscillations, and entropy rates, suggesting a post-main-sequence fate leading toward white dwarf collapse or nebular dispersion. The study bridges Quranic metaphysical references with high-resolution cosmological imaging, proposing a refined understanding of stellar life cycles.

Theory and simulation of polymer liquids under extensional and shear flows
Creators: name: Hunt, Thomas A.
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: We examine several aspects of the dynamics of linear polymers under shear and extensional flows. We use nonequilibrium molecular dynamics (NEMD) to simulate systems under planar Couette flow (PCF) and planar extensional flow (PEF). In addition we look at several kinetic models of polymer melts, in particular the Curtiss-Bird model, for which we calculate the predictions of steady-state viscosity under PEF. To the best of our knowledge this is the first time that these results have been presented for this kinetic model. Our simulations under PEF are enabled by the use of Kraynik-Reinelt periodic boundary conditions (pbcs). We include here our observation that these pbcs are closely related to the Arnold cat map, a simple example of a dynamical map with chaotic properties. This observation enhances our understanding of this simulation technique. We compare directly under flow for the first time two commonly used coarse grained models of linear polymers. The first, a bead-spring model which uses the flexible finitely extensible nonlinear elastic potential (FENE) to bond adjacent beads. The second, a bead-rod model which uses a constraint force algorithm to fix the bond length. For this model we use the name freely jointed chain (FJC). The comparison is based on viscometric, structural and dynamical properties. We find that results for FENE and FJC systems are almost identical. Comparing results with predictions of the Curtiss-Bird model under PEF we find that values for the parameters of the Curtiss-Bird model required for a fit with the simulation data fall outside the range allowed by the Curtiss-Bird model and we conclude that assumptions of the Curtiss-Bird model deviate from dynamics observed in liquids under extensional We then focus on the self-diffusion of molecules under PEF and PCF, calculating elements of the diffusion tensor using appropriate mean-squared displacement formulae. Our interpretation of these results incorporate properties from the FENE and FJC comparison and results for the velocity autocorrelation function in these systems. We find anisotropy of diffusion more significant under PEF than under PCF. We conclude that this arises due to the significant enhancement of alignment under PEF. Our simulations represent the widest range of molecular systems under shear flow for which self-diffusion has been calculated. Results for PEF represent the first examination of self-diffusion for molecular systems under an extensional flow.

An innovative learning model for computation in first year mathematics

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: MATLAB is a sophisticated software tool for numerical analysis and visualisation. The University of Queensland has adopted Matlab as its official teaching package across large first year mathematics courses. In the past, the package has met severe resistance from students who have not appreciated their computational experience. Several main factors contribute: Firstly, the software is numerical rather than symbolic, providing a departure from the thinking patterns presented in lectures and tutorials. Secondly, many students cannot see a direct connection between the laboratory exercises and core course material from lectures. Thirdly, the students find hurdles to entry as commands often return annoying error messages and don't execute, and programs are difficult to write and debug. Overall, the details of the mathematics are lost in trying to negotiate the software. After considerable effort in tuning, it appears that a sequence of innovations has captured student support and added considerable value to both the computational and traditional learning process.

Heroes of the developing world? : Emerging powers in WTO agriculture negotiations and dispute settlement

Year: 2023

description: Agriculture has been a key issue of North-South struggle at the WTO. Emerging powers like China, India and Brazil have portrayed themselves as leaders of the Global South, crusading to make the trading system fairer for developing countries. This article analyzes three cases – the cotton dispute, subsidies and public stockholding – that have been at the center of WTO negotiations and dispute settlement on agriculture since the collapse of the Doha Round. While presenting themselves as champions of the developing world, I show that the emerging powers have been advancing their own interests, often at the expense of other developing countries.

“They’re not doing enough.”: women’s experiences with opioids and naloxone in Toronto

description: Background: Amid increasing opioid overdose deaths in Canada since 2010 and a changing naloxone access landscape, there is a need for up-to-date research on Canadian women’s experiences with opioids. Studies on Canadian take-home naloxone programs are promising, but research beyond these programs is limited. Our study is the first to focus on women’s experiences and perspectives on the opioid crisis in Ontario, Canada’s most populous province, since the opioid crisis began in 2010. Objective: Our objective was to address research knowledge gaps involving Canadian women with criminal justice involvement who use opioids, and identify flaws in current policies, responses, and practices. While the opioid overdose crisis persists, this lack of research inhibits our ability to determine whether overdose prevention efforts, especially involving naloxone, are meeting their needs. Methods: We conducted semi-structured, qualitative interviews from January to April 2018 with 10 women with experience of opioid use. They were recruited through the study’s community partner in Toronto. Participants provided demographic information, experiences with opioids and naloxone, and their perceptions of the Canadian government’s responses to the opioid crisis. Interviews were transcribed verbatim and inductive thematic analysis was conducted to determine major themes within the data. Results: Thematic analysis identified seven major concerns despite significant differences in participant life and opioid use experiences. Participants who had used illicit opioids since naloxone became available over-the-counter in 2016 were much more knowledgeable about naloxone than participants who had only used opioids prior to 2016. The portability, dosage form, and effects of naloxone are important considerations for women who use opioids. Social alienation, violence, and isolation affect the wellbeing of women who use opioids. The Canadian government’s response to the opioid crisis was perceived as inadequate. Participants demonstrated differing needs and views on ideal harm reduction approaches, despite facing similar structural issues surrounding stigma, addiction management, and housing. Conclusions: Participants experienced with naloxone use found it to be useful in preventing fatal overdose, however many of their needs with regards to physical, mental, and social health, housing, harm reduction, and access to opioid treatment remained unmet.
