description: Nascent entrepreneurs face multiple challenges after starting their business. One is dealing with obligations from taxation. Entrepreneurs suddenly need to take care of taxpaying themselves, including the duty of implementing and running various tax relevant systems. Germany is known for one of the most complex legislations on taxation. In this explorative study, we try to identify the most challenging areas the field of taxation. Therefore we have analyzed several web forums for entrepreneurs and questioned 56 tax consultants and eight tax inspectors. Descriptive results are presented. Entrepreneurs with no vocational training have more problems with taxpaying than all other educational groups. Migrant entrepreneurs do not face significant more difficulties than German entrepreneurs, according to the tax consultants. Tax officer have a different point of view, they state that handling taxation is a bigger challenge for migrant entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurs in the gastronomy industry are most likely to get in conflict with tax legislation. Entrepreneurs need more advice on certain areas of taxpaying than on others. Entrepreneurship education should pay close attention to those areas.
Affiliative behaviour in a wild population of Eastern water dragons (Intellagama lesueurii): Effect of individual attributes and fitness benefits

description: All animal species engage in social interactions with conspecifics when competing for abiotic and biotic resources from their environment (e.g., space, food, water, mating partners). Social interactions can be affiliative, which involves the occurrence of non-aggressive physical proximity between individuals. Affiliative interactions represent a crucial aspect of social evolution as they can lead to the evolution, maintenance, and reinforcement of social bonds, as well as provide fitness benefits (e.g., increased reproductive success, survival, and longevity). Further, affiliative interactions are often influenced by an individual’s own attributes (e.g., age, sex), but also by the attributes of all conspecifics it interacts with.
description: In this thesis, I use a wild population of eastern water dragons (Intellagama lesueurii) to investigate the effect of individuals’ attributes on various affiliative behaviours and explore the fitness consequences of these behaviours. Eastern water dragons are highly gregarious and form social associations, which are defined as pairs of individuals that socially tolerate each other in close spatial proximity without aggressively reacting to each other.
A Sociotechnical Systems Approach to the Design of Main Streets

description: This research contends that current approaches to the design of cities (city design) need improvement. They are contributing to undesirable cities that are adversely affecting many facets of modern society (e.g., people, economy, culture and the environment). The need to accommodate an urbanising world population is presenting many challenges to current city design approaches, yet also many opportunities to optimise cities through their redevelopment. Sociotechnical systems theory and methods have been used to understand and respond to complexity in other domains but have not yet been comprehensively applied to city design. A gap is also evident in sociotechnical system method outputs and their ability to inform design processes. Sociotechnical systems are taken as the theoretical foundation for the thesis, while cognitive work analysis (CWA) with object worlds, social network analysis and geographic information systems (GIS) provide the methodological and analytic study approach. Using main streets as an archetype complex urban system, the overall aim of the research undertaken as part of this thesis was to explore the usefulness of a sociotechnical systems approach to city design.

description: To the pair (E,c), where E is a countable Borel equivalence relation on a standard Borel space (X,A) and c a normalized Borel T-valued 2-cocycle on E, we associate a sequentially weakly closed Borel *-algebra Br*(E,c), contained in the bounded linear operators on L^2(E). Associated to Br*(E,c) is a natural (Borel) Cartan subalgebra (Definition 6.4.10) L(Bo(X)) isomorphic to the bounded Borel functions on X. Then L(Bo(X)) and its normalizer (the set of the unitaries u in Br*(E,c) such that u*fu in L(Bo(X)), f in L(Bo(X))) countably generates the Borel *-algebra Br*(E,c). In this thesis, we study Br*(E,c) and in particular prove that: i) If E is smooth, then Br*(E,c) is a type I Borel *-algebra (Definition 6.3.10). ii) If E is a hyperfinite, then Br*(E,c) is a Borel AF-algebra (Definition 7.5.1). iii) Generalizing Kumjian's definition, we define a Borel twist G over E and its associated sequentially closed Borel *-algebra Br*(G). iv) Let a Borel Cartan pair (B, Bo) denote a sequentially closed Borel *-algebra B with a Borel Cartan subalgebra Bo, where B is countably Bo-generated. Generalizing Feldman-Moore's result, we prove that any pair (B, Bo) can be realized uniquely as a pair (Br*(E,c), L(Bo(X))). Moreover, we show that the pair (Br*(E,c), L(Bo(X))) is a complete invariant of the countable Borel equivalence relation E. v) We prove a Krieger type theorem, by showing that two aperiodic hyperfinite countable equivalence relations are isomorphic if and only if their associated Borel *-algebras Br*(E1) and Br*(E2) are isomorphic.
The Yellow Fever and the Italian States in 1804

description: Since the plague pandemic of the 13th century, Italian states have created sanitary institutions to deal with epidemics. However, even though all the Italian states had similar sanitary institutions they reacted quite differently when yellow fever struck Livorno in 1804. This paradox – a variety of political answers to the same biological threat – reveals the inextricable nature of the political, economic, social and diplomatic stakes in the management of epidemics. First, health magistrates played a crucial diplomatic role, for the territories suspected of being infected were subjected to quarantine with serious economic consequences. Second, although health policies were based on uncertain and changing medical knowledge, they were meant to be universal and legitimate. Meanwhile, the population did not remain passive in the face of health measures: the richest managed to circumvent the regulations while the poor fled the infected city.

The influence of communication and participation on realised strategy: a micro foundational approach

Subjects: strategic management

description: Communication and participation are vital for Non-Profit Organisations (NPOs), however, how these important concepts may be utilised for an NPO's advantage has rarely been explored. Over the past two decades NPOs have dramatically grown in number and size. They have also expanded the level of social services they provide and are being recognised as an increasing economic force. While the literature on strategic management is vast, NPOs have rarely been the focus of these studies. Yet, many social service NPOs are challenged with realising successful strategies. The challenges range from staff and skill shortages, to intangible missions that complicate performance assessment, to funders requiring use of strategic management techniques, which are commonly disliked by NPO staff, as these techniques were tailored mostly for profit-maximisation. Therefore, NPOs are challenged with advancing their mission, the reason for their organisations' existence. Since the non-profit literature recurrently emphasises the significance of communication and participation for NPOs, the astute use of these concepts provides a promising avenue to assist NPOs with realising mission advancing strategies. Therefore, this study explored the research question: How do communication and participation influence strategies that are realised as deliberate?
The metabolism of m-tyrosine.

Subjects: subject: Chemistry, Biochemistry.

description: The development of a method for the large scale synthesis and resolution of m-hydroxyphenylalanine (hereafter referred to as m-tyrosine for convenience) led to investigation of the biological differences between the optically pure isomers of this compound. Aspects of the biosynthesis, pharmacological actions, and metabolism of m-hydroxyphenyl compounds were studied using the rat as an experimental model. The suggestion that m-hydroxyphenyl amines are responsible for the behavioral effects of m-tyrosine was tested. The activity of rats showed significant increases after L-m-tyrosine administration. The inhibition of dopa decarboxylase prevented this hyperactivity while the inhibition of monoamine oxidase potentiated it. m-Tyrosine could also reverse reserpine akinesia for a short period, lending support to speculations that m-hydroxyphenyl amines can mimic the actions of catecholamines. A biochemical basis was then advanced for the effects of m-tyrosine. Its ability to deplete endogenous amine stores in the brain was confirmed and studied in detail. Levels of norepinephrine, dopamine, and serotonin fell 50% one hour after administration of 150 mg/kg L-m-tyrosine. D-m-tyrosine was less potent in effecting the depletion than the L-isomer under all experimental conditions. The inhibition of dopa decarboxylase resulted in less m-hydroxyphenyl amine formation in the brain in vivo, and this was correlated with a reduction in the degree of depletion of brain monoamines. The mechanism of depletion was further examined using brain homogenates. While m-tyrosine does not interfere with the exchange of biogenic amines in this tissue fraction, m-tyramine does displace the endogenous amines. Considerable evidence was thus obtained in support of the hypothesis that both the hyperactivity and depletion of endogenous amines observed after m-tyrosine administration is due to the action of m-hydroxyphenyl amines produced by the in vivo decarboxylation of the amino acid.

Subjects: Epidemiology
Respondent Driven Sampling

description: Background: Vulnerable populations in Canada shoulder a disproportionately high burden of disease. Transmission of sexually transmitted infections is behaviourally mediated. Previous research indicates an association between depression and sexual risk-taking. Evidence also suggests that social support is an effect modifier. Methods: Data were collected from a population of injection drug users, between 2003 and 2004 in Winnipeg, using respondent driven sampling. Demographic and social behaviors were analyzed to characterize the population, as well as social networks and ego networks. Logistic regression was used to examine the association between depressive symptoms and sexual risk interactions. Social support was examined as an effect modifier. Results: The majority of the study participants and network members were aged between 35 and 44, and a high percentage identified as Native Canadians. The highest percentage of people reported welfare as their primary source of income, and injecting stimulants, as their most frequently injected drug. Logistic regression models indicated an increase in the odds of individuals engaging in high-risk sexual interactions, if they had also self-reported elevated depressive symptoms. It was not possible to conclude that social support was an effect modifier. Conclusion: This research supports a positive association between elevated depressive symptoms, and higher levels of sexual risk interactions. Further research is needed to understand the role of social support.
Early intervention among Jordanian youth at risk for T2DM to prevent disease onset and complications, through lifestyle change and self-efficacy

description: The purpose of the study is to provide nurses with non-pharmaceutical tools for early intervention teaching self care and lifestyle change to adolescents and their parents thereby preventing early diabetes and later complications for Jordanian youth at risk of T2DM. The scope involves reducing modifiable risk factors through understanding diet, exercise and using self-efficacy for lifestyle adherence to reduce weight and blood glucose level over 12 weeks. Quantitative methodology systematically measured 378 male and female overweight and obese adolescents with and without diabetes family history aged 12 - 18 in two Irbid high schools (Jordan), in a middle socio-economic area using a randomly selected single-blind controlled trial. Variables studied were weight, blood glucose level, diet and exercise based on Self Efficacy from Bandura's Social Cognitive Theory for adherence interacting with the fixed factors of gender, diabetes family history, and parental education level. Data was collected pre- and post- intervention from measurements and surveys retrospectively at 12 weeks. Parents and school staff were involved with fortnightly supporting advice and collection of student self-records for weekly diet and exercise. Findings showed significant reduction in both weight and fasting blood glucose in the intervention group resulting from lifestyle change. This demonstrated knowledge and practice of a healthier diet with increased physical activity. Mean weight difference between intervention and control groups was measured at 3.3kg; blood glucose mean difference was 1.36mg/dl. Fixed factors were not significant in this study. Conclusions demonstrated advantageous use of a traditional society where adolescents respect and obey their elders to achieve the study result. Using the school system is a minimal cost solution capable of transfer to similar countries. It utilizes to the fullest extent the skills of nurses and incorporates cooperation with parents and community teachers ensuring lasting effects for self-care. Limitations include maintaining lifestyle behavior change with time given the 12 week study length. Self-reported data has inherent weaknesses. Level of interest, knowledge of self-efficacy, family, school and social support factors could not be measured. The study utilized an urban median socio-economic urban population employing a cross-sectional sample design. Cultural values could have decreased girls' physical activity participation. The study contributes a non-pharmaceutical method of T2DM prevention that is cost-minimal based on self-belief and the program can be implemented in high schools elsewhere with parental support.

description: The relationship between female undergraduate students’ (n = 151) reports of parental emotion coaching in childhood and their reports of emotion regulation, romantic attachment, and romantic intimacy in young adulthood was investigated. The female undergraduate students completed additional questionnaires about their mood, personality characteristics, and relationship satisfaction in young adulthood, and parental warmth in childhood. Remembered supportive emotion coaching (comprised of Emotion-Focused Reactions, Problem-Focused Reactions and Expressive Encouragement) was significantly and positively correlated with healthier emotion regulation (reappraisal), and was significantly and negatively correlated with less healthy emotion regulation (suppression). Remembered unsupportive emotion coaching (comprised of Minimizing Reactions, Punitive Reactions, and Distress Reactions) was significantly and positively correlated with romantic avoidant and anxious attachment. Romantic intimacy was not significantly correlated with remembered supportive or unsupportive emotion coaching. Emotion regulation mediated the relationship between remembered emotion coaching and avoidant and anxious attachment, but not romantic intimacy. Emotion regulation continued to mediate the relationship between remembered emotion coaching and avoidant attachment after mood, personality characteristics, relationship satisfaction, and parental warmth were entered into the model as covariates, but emotion regulation did not continue to mediate the relationship after covariates were entered into the model when anxious attachment was the predicted variable.

Generation, Characterization and Application of the 3rd and 4th Harmonics of a Ti:sapphire Femtosecond Laser

Subjects: sum-frequency generation

time-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy

description: Femtosecond time-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (fsTRPES) experiments have been used to study the photoelectron energy spectra of simple molecules since the 1980’s. Analysis of these spectra provides information about the ultrafast internal conversion dynamics of the parent ions. However, ultraviolet pulses must be used for these pump-probe experiments in order to ionize the molecules. Since current solid state lasers, such as the Ti:sapphire laser, typically produce pulses centered at 800nm, it is necessary to generate UV pulses with nonlinear frequency mixing techniques. I therefore constructed an optical setup to generate the 3rd and 4th harmonics, at 266.7nm and 200nm, respectively, of a Ti:sapphire (Ti:sa) chirped-pulse amplified (CPA) laser system that produces 35fs pulses centered at 800nm. Thin Beta-Barium Borate (β-BaB2O4 or BBO) crystals were chosen to achieve a compromise between short pulse durations and reasonable conversion efficiencies, since ultrashort pulses are quite susceptible to broadening from group velocity dispersion (GVD). Output energies of around 11μJ and 230nJ were measured for the 266.7nm and 200nm pulses, respectively. The transform limits of the 3rd and 4th harmonic pulse lengths were calculated from their measured spectral widths. We found that the 266.7nm bandwidth was large enough to support sub-30fs pulses, and due to cutting at the lower-wavelength end of the 200nm spectrum, we calculated an upper limit of 38fs. The pulses were compressed with pairs of CaF2 prisms to compensate for dispersion introduced by transmissive optics. Two-photon absorption (TPA) intensity autocorrelations revealed fully compressed pulse lengths of 36 ± 2 fs and 42 ± 4 fs for the 3rd and 4th harmonics, respectively.
Black Hole Search in the Network and Subway Models

description: In this thesis we look at mobile agent solutions to black hole search and related problems. Mobile agents are computational entities that are autonomous, mobile, and can interact with their environment and each other. The black hole search problem is for a team of these agents to work together to map or explore a graph-like network environment where some elements of the network are dangerous to the agents. Most research into black hole search has focussed on finding a single dangerous node: a black hole. We look at the problem of finding multiple black holes and, in the case of dangerous graph exploration, multiple black links as well. We look at the dangerous graph exploration problem in the network model. The network model is based on a normal static computer network modelled as a simple graph. We give an optimal solution to the dangerous graph exploration problem using agents that start scattered on nodes throughout the network. We then make the problem more difficult by allowing an adversary to delete links during the execution of the algorithm and provide a solution using scattered agents. In the last decade or two, types of networks have emerged, such as ad hoc wireless networks, that are by their nature dynamic. These networks change quickly over time and can make distributed computations difficult. We look at black hole search in one type of dynamic network described by the subway model, which we base on urban subway systems. The model allows us to look at the cost of opportunistic movement by requiring the agents to move using carriers that follow routes among the network's sites, some of which are black holes. We show that there are basic limitations on any solution to black hole search in the subway model and prove lower bounds on any solution's complexity. We then provide two optimal solutions that differ in the agents' starting locations and how they communicate with one another. Our results provide a small window into the cost of deterministic distributed computing in networks that have dynamic elements, but which are not fully random.

New approach to nitrogen control in EAF steelmaking
Creators: name: Brooks, Geoffrey

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: High grade steels, particularly in flat products are associated with low levels of dissolved nitrogen. For deep drawing steels it is desirable to keep nitrogen levels below 50 ppm, where as a range of 120 to 150ppm is acceptable for high strength structural steels (1). In EAF steelmaking, molten metal is often exposed directly to the air during the melt down. Ionisation of nitrogen by the arc is also thought to accelerate the rate of nitrogen pick up by the steel. In addition, scrap and ferro-alloys can contain significant dissolved nitrogen. As a result, whist steel produced from Oxygen steelmaking contains 30 to 40ppm, nitrogen levels in steel produce from EAF is typically in the range 70 to 100ppm.

description: Issue: Since 1978, the World Health Organisation (WHO) has consistently advocated for health services to adopt a Comprehensive Primary Health Care (CPHC) approach to address complex health issues and inequities. However, there has been limited uptake of the CPHC approach by health services nationally or internationally. In 2007, the Australian Government recognised the need to increase health servicesâ€Ÿ capacity to deliver CPHC and made CPHC reform a policy priority. The National Primary Health Care Strategy (2009) is Australiaâ€Ÿs first national policy statement and strategy for CPHC. One of the key reform initiatives was the development of Primary Health Care Organisations (PHCOs); named Medicare Locals by the Australian Government. The aim of PHCOs is to provide CPHC to local communities and will evolve from the current Divisions of General Practice Network. PHCOs will be implemented in 2011 and be required to reorient their services to deliver CPHC. Access to information that provides clear steps on how a health service can plan, implement and evaluate a reorientation strategy is critical. In 2008 Far North Queensland Rural Division of General Practice (FNQRDGP) sought to learn how it could reorient its services to deliver CPHC. A CPHC Organisational Development Strategy (ODS) was developed, implemented and evaluated from April 2008 to June 2009. Aim: The aim of the research was to determine the impact of the Comprehensive Primary Health Care Organisational Development Strategy (CPHC ODS) on FNQRDGPs capacity to deliver CPHC.

description: Background: North American health authorities recommend 0.4 mg/day folic acid before conception and throughout pregnancy to reduce the risk of neural tube defects. Folic acid is a synthetic form of folate that must be reduced by dihydrofolate reductase and then further metabolized. Recent evidence suggests that the maximal capacity for this process is limited and unmetabolized folic acid has been detected in the circulation. The biological effects of unmetabolized folic acid are unknown. A natural form of folate, (6S)-5-methyltetrahydrofolic acid (Metafolin®), may be a superior alternative because it does not need to be reduced in the small intestine. Metafolin® is currently used in some prenatal multivitamins; however, it has yet to be evaluated during pregnancy. Methods/design: This double-blind, randomized trial will recruit 60 pregnant women aged 19–42 years. The women will receive either 0.6 mg/day folic acid or an equimolar dose (0.625 mg/day) of (6S)-5-methyltetrahydrofolic acid for 16 weeks. The trial will be initiated at 8–21 weeks’ gestation (after neural tube closure) to reduce the risk of harm should (6S)-5-methyltetrahydrofolic acid prove less effective. All women will also receive a prenatal multivitamin (not containing folate) to ensure adequacy of other nutrients. Baseline and endline blood samples will be collected to assess primary outcome measures, including serum folate, red blood cell folate and unmetabolized folic acid. The extent to which the change in primary outcomes from baseline to endline differs between treatment groups, controlling for baseline level, will be estimated using linear regression. Participants will have the option to continue supplementing until 1 week postpartum to provide a breastmilk and blood sample. Exploratory analyses will be completed to evaluate breastmilk and postpartum blood folate concentrations. Discussion: This proof-of-concept trial is needed to obtain estimates of the effect of (6S)-5-methyltetrahydrofolic acid compared to folic acid on circulating biomarkers of folate status during pregnancy. These estimates will inform the design of a definitive trial which will be powered to assess whether (6S)-5-methyltetrahydrofolic acid is as effective as folic acid in raising blood folate concentrations during pregnancy. Ultimately, these findings will inform folate supplementation policies for pregnant women. Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov, ID: NCT04022135. Registered on 14 July 2019.

description: Durch die Änderung der Europäischen Emissionshandelsrichtlinie und der Europäischen Monitoring-Verordnung (MVO) für die Handelsperiode 2013Ń2020 hat die direkte Erfassung der Treibhausgasemissionen mit kontinuierlichen Emissionsmesssystemen (KEMS) deutlich an Bedeutung gewonnen. Die Prüfung der entsprechenden Emissionsberichte lässt jedoch Defizite in verschiedenen Bereichen erkennen, obwohl KEMS im anlagenbezogenen Immissionsschutz nach dem Bundes-Immissionsschutzgesetz (BImSchG) seit vielen Jahren routinemäßig eingesetzt werden. Begründet ist dies vor allem in unterschiedlichen gesetzlichen Anforderungen an Unsicherheiten, Qualitätssicherung und Emissionsdatenauswertung von KEMS nach BImSchG und nach MVO. Für die MVO-konforme Auswertung der Emissionsdaten wurde daher eine Ergänzung der bundeseinheitlichen Praxis bei der Überwachung der Emissionen notwendig. Quelle: Verlagsinformation

Translation as a Catalyst for the Russification of Ukrainian under Imperial and Soviet Rule

description: Studying the last century and a half of Ukrainian linguistic history reveals relentless attempts to stifle the development of Ukrainian as well as to suppress translation activities under both the tsarist and Soviet regimes. Exploring the morphological evolution of the Ukrainian language discloses evidence of terminological inconsistencies due to the lexical russification of Ukrainian during the Soviet regime, leading to inconsistencies between the standard of Ukrainian used in the Soviet Union versus that used in the diaspora. Additional examination of Ukrainian linguistic history discloses political motives for banning translations, refusing the right to translate, censoring translations, and punishing translators who rejected the mandatory Soviet literary norm of Socialist Realism. In order to further understand the implications of translation practices in the Ukrainian SSR, it is important to examine the language policies, political agendas and translation practices prior to and throughout the Soviet regime. This thesis explores and analyses the russification of Ukrainian through translation policies designed to fulfil Soviet political and ideological agendas. It compares power differentials between Russian and Ukrainian, as well as between Russian and other minority languages in translation, and examines the resulting terminological inconsistencies. It shows unequivocally how translation, transliteration, and censorship were used to foster linguicide and assimilate Ukrainian minorities, from the late tsarist era to the collapse of the Soviet Union.

description: Context represents any knowledge obtained from Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) about the object being monitored (such as time and location of the sensed events). Time and location are important constituents of context as the information about the events sensed in WSNs is comprehensive when it includes spatio-temporal knowledge. In this thesis, we first concentrate on the development of a suite of lightweight algorithms on temporal event ordering and time synchronization as well as localization for WSNs. Then, we propose an energy-efficient clustering routing protocol for WSNs that is used for message delivery in the former algorithm. The two problems - temporal event ordering and synchronization - are dealt with together as both are concerned with preserving temporal relationships of events in WSNs. The messages needed for synchronization are piggybacked onto the messages exchanged in underlying algorithms. The synchronization algorithm is tailored to the clustered topology in order to reduce the overhead of keeping WSNs synchronized. The proposed localization algorithm has an objective of lowering the overhead of DV-hop based algorithms by reducing the number of floods in the initial position estimation phase. It also randomizes iterative refinement phase to overcome the synchronicity of DV-hop based algorithms. The position estimates with higher confidences are emphasized to reduce the impact of erroneous estimates on the neighbouring nodes. The proposed clustering routing protocol is used for message delivery in the proposed temporal algorithm. Nearest neighbour nodes are employed for inter-cluster communication. The algorithm provides Quality of Service by forwarding high priority messages via the paths with the least cost. The algorithm is also extended for multiple Sink scenario. The suite of algorithms proposed in this thesis provides the necessary tool for providing spatio-temporal context for context-aware WSNs. The algorithms are lightweight as they aim at satisfying WSN's requirements primarily in terms of energy-efficiency, low latency and fault tolerance. This makes them suitable for emergency response applications and ubiquitous computing.

Ontology-based constrained anonymization for domain-driven data mining outsourcing
Creators: name: Loh, Brian
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Introduction. This thesis focuses on the data mining outsourcing scenario whereby a data owner publishes data to an application service provider who returns mining results. To ensure data privacy against an un-trusted party, protection techniques are required. Anonymization, a widely used method provides the benefit of preserving true attribute values as well as the capability of supporting various data mining algorithms. Although this is so, several issues emerge when anonymization is applied in a real world outsourcing scenario. Most methods have focused on the traditional data mining paradigm, therefore they do not implement domain knowledge nor optimize data for domain-driven purposes. Furthermore, existing techniques limit users' control while assuming their natural capability of producing Domain Generalization Hierarchies (DGH). Moreover, previous utility metrics have not considered attribute correlations during generalization. Objective. The research objective is to create an ontology-based constrained anonymization framework which aims to preserve meaningful and actionable models for domain-driven data mining while protecting privacy. Framework. In contrast with existing works, this framework integrates the Unified Medical Language Systems (UMLS) as a form of domain ontology knowledge during DGH creation to preserve value meanings. Furthermore, it allows for user constraints based on attribute semantic types and relations to suit physician mining tasks. Also, attribute correlations are determined with external domain knowledge in the form of MEDLINE literatures to improve attribute selection during anonymization. Results. Experiments show that ontology-based DGHs manage to preserve semantic meaning after attribute generalization. Additionally, by setting constraints, important attributes for specific mining tasks can be preserved. Finally, utilizing a correlation-based measure can improve attribute selection during anonymization for domain-driven purposes. Conclusion. There is an urgent need for privacy preserving methods capable of anonymizing data for domain-driven usage. The proposed framework proves the benefit of integrating domain ontology knowledge and external literatures in improving utility for domain-driven purposes. Therefore, it is expected that by utilizing such a framework, data owners can protect data while maintaining utility for real world requirements.
