Developing 3D brain models for cell surface sugar targeting with bio-conjugated nanodiamonds
Creators: name: Fard, Mina Ghanimi
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Glycosylation is a post-translational modification that attaches sugar receptor chains to cell surface proteins and lipids. Abnormal glycosylation is evident during multiple chronic brain pathophysiologies such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and Huntington's diseases and brain cancer, making sugars excellent biomarkers for selective targeting of affected cells by sugar receptors such as lectins that bind to different cell surface glycan residues. We utilised 120nm fluorescent nanodiamonds with nitrogen vacancy centres that were bio-conjugated with lectins to target sugar structures on the surface of three types of cultured central nervous system cells: astrocytes, neurons and microglia. Functionalised nanodiamonds were thus used to investigate the in vitro expression of sialic acid and N-acetylglucosamine (using wheat germ agglutinin), fucose (Aleuria aurantia lectin), and high mannose and N-acetylglucosamine (using tomato lectin) on these brain cell types. The binding of nanodiamonds to these sugars to each cell type grown in standard 2D cultures and in newly developed natural 3D brain scaffold cell growth constructs was evaluated. As glycans are a major component of the cell surface as well as of the extracellular matrix and are highly important in cell-cell interactions, our new 3D models were developed to more closely represent in vivo central nervous system conditions for assessing sugar expression and nanodiamond binding and uptake in neurons, astrocytes and microglia.

description: In this work, coupled optical and electrical discharge measurements have been implemented to investigate the plasma state of a reactive HiPIMS TiO$_2$ deposition process running at a fixed duty cycle of 2% and at a repetition rate of 1 kHz. Investigations focus on both the effect of the erosion target and substrate-holder temperature in an Ar/O$_2$ gas mixture at fixed working pressure. First, as the racetrack shape evolves with the use of the target, the deposition rate is modified, in the same way as the emission intensity measured. Second, with the heater set at 400 $^\circ$C in pure Ar, the coating appears thinner, and the optical emission spectroscopy measurement reveals the presence of oxygen atoms. Thus, the results from the coupled optical and electrical measurements are sensitive enough to track potential drift of the process.

description: We demonstrate that a deep neural network can significantly improve optical microscopy, enhancing its spatial resolution over a large field-of-view and depth-of-field. After its training, the only input to this network is an image acquired using a regular optical microscope, without any changes to its design. We blindly tested this deep learning approach using various tissue samples that are imaged with low-resolution and wide-field systems, where the network rapidly outputs an image with remarkably better resolution, matching the performance of higher numerical aperture lenses, also significantly surpassing their limited field-of-view and depth-of-field. These results are transformative for various fields that use microscopy tools, including e.g., life sciences, where optical microscopy is considered as one of the most widely used and deployed techniques. Beyond such applications, our presented approach is broadly applicable to other imaging modalities, also spanning different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum, and can be used to design computational imagers that get better and better as they continue to image specimen and establish new transformations among different modes of imaging.
Adherence to asthma treatment in childhood and adolescence – a narrative literature review

description: Objectives: We provide a narrative literature review on surveys used to assess the level of medication adherence in children and adolescents with asthma, the attitudes of these patients and their parents toward asthma therapy, and their expectations concerning asthma and available treatment. Methods: A PubMed search and manual selection of the retrieved papers was conducted to identify studies using surveys or interviews that addressed one of the three topics of interest. Results: Adherence to asthma medication varies across age groups and with the type of measurement used. Levels of 49–71% were observed in children and adolescents by objective measurements. Subjective measurements overestimate the level of adherence compared to objective measurements. A considerable percentage of parents expressed fear of side effects of inhaled corticosteroids, although the impact of these concerns on adherence is unclear. Many adolescents and parents adapt inhaled corticosteroids use according to the prevalence of asthma symptoms, by reducing or eliminating controller medication in the absence of symptoms. Pediatric asthma patients and their parents tend to overestimate the level of asthma control, either by underestimating asthma severity or by assuming that a better control is not possible. The knowledge of parents and adolescents concerning asthma management is suboptimal; moreover, insufficient knowledge about inhaled corticosteroids was linked to poor adherence. Conclusion: Medication adherence is crucial for a good control of asthma symptoms. Additional research concerning the triggers of non-adherence is still needed. Educating both the patients and their parents on proper asthma care might improve adherence.

'Fuck May 68, fight now!': Athenian anarchists & anti-authoritarians : militant ethnography & collective identity formation
Creators: name: Apoifis, Nicholas
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: The re-emergence of anarchist and anti-authoritarian politics in the last two decades has sparked renewed intellectual interest in radical social movements—their form, composition and internal processes. The Athenian anarchist and anti-authoritarian milieu, its geographical and organisational hub a Molotov throw away from the Greek parliament, is a fertile environment to pursue such research. Yet much contemporary academic research on this movement does not directly engage with the activists themselves, typically remaining remote from their on-the-ground struggles against capitalism, the state and the rise of fascism. By contrast, this thesis is based on extensive ethnographic fieldwork conducted amongst the Athenian anarchist and anti-authoritarian movement in 2011. It is premised on a fieldwork methodology emphasising a reflexive collaboration between the ethnographer and activists where, as far as possible, the researcher assumes the role of political activist. With the New Social Movement theoretical paradigm as my point of departure, I argue that the embrace of militant street-protests, as an identity and tactic, helps account for the movement's relative unity. The influence of emotional interactions amongst movement actors is granted particular attention in examining identity formation within the movement. I show how varying shades of anarchic tendencies and ensuing ideological and practical disagreements are, for the most part, overcome in often violent street-protests. Thus militant protest action is more than an expression of collective grievance, desire for retaliation against police injustice and a manifestation of anarchist and anti-authoritarian praxis. Rather, these actions are an important element in the on-going construction and reconstruction of Athenian anarchist and anti-authoritarian collective identity, the main conclusion of the thesis.
Evidence of chaotic modes in the analysis of four delta Scuti stars

description: Since CoRoT observations unveiled the very low amplitude modes that form a flat plateau in the power spectrum structure of delta Scuti stars, the nature of this phenomenon, including the possibility of spurious signals due to the light curve analysis, has been a matter of long-standing scientific debate. We contribute to this debate by finding the structural parameters of a sample of four delta Scuti stars, CID 546, CID 3619, CID 8669, and KIC 5892969, and looking for a possible relation between these stars' structural parameters and their power spectrum structure. For the purposes of characterization, we developed a method of studying and analysing the power spectrum with high precision and have applied it to both CoRoT and Kepler light curves. We obtain the best estimates to date of these stars' structural parameters. Moreover, we observe that the power spectrum structure depends on the inclination, oblateness, and convective efficiency of each star. Our results suggest that the power spectrum structure is real and is possibly formed by 2-period island modes and chaotic modes.

School governance, school leadership and school effectiveness

Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Good school governance by way of school boards and school councils has long been recognised in the Australian Independent school sector and elsewhere as being a key factor in contributing to the development of high performing schools. This practice has now moved into government schools where current policies in Victoria and Western Australia devolve school management in some instances to locally created school boards and councils. This devolution of management responsibility away from centralised control in education has also occurred internationally. The use of school councils in government schools in England for instance, is well established and the growth of charter schools in the United States of America, over the past twenty years, has witnessed the increased need for locally created school boards and councils. The expansion of school councils emerged from the neo-liberal ideas of school choice and the belief that local school governance leads to greater autonomy, effectiveness and financially efficient schools which meet the needs of their local community albeit most often within regulatory frameworks for curriculum, assessment and teacher standards. Whilst research in the area of governance in general is quite significant, little research has been undertaken internationally, and in Australia, on the processes that lead to good school governance. In particular little research exists which relates to the relationships that exist between the chair of school council, school principal, members of school council and the school executive. This reflexive study used a mixed methods approach to analyse the processes of good school governance within 18 schools of the Anglican Schools Corporation in NSW Australia, which together represent a wide cross-section of school types and contexts. Its intention was to investigate and, if possible, create a good practice school governance framework. The study commenced with the development of a conceptual framework derived from the available corporate, organisational and educational literature. The next phase of research was qualitative in nature and involved one-to-one interviews with six chairs of council and nine school principals, further developing the framework. The final phase used quantitative research methodology to survey chairs of school council, school principals, members of school council and school executive teams about their opinions of the emerging framework. The good school governance framework generated by the study contributes to further research and theory development in the field of educational leadership, education policy, and school practice.

description: Aim: To illuminate the lived experiences of Indonesian nurses who previously worked as caregivers inJapanese residential care facilities, by exploring the journey of becoming returnees.Background: The creation of bilateral agreements between Indonesia and Japan has facilitated themovement of Indonesian nurses to work as caregivers in Japan since 2008. While this decision raisedconcerns with regard to the degradation of nursing skills, little is known about this issue from theperspective of nurse returnees and how the experience affects their life.Method: A hermeneutic phenomenological method was employed for this study. A purposive sample of 15 Indonesiannurse returnees participated in this study. Semi-structured interviews were conducted in four of Indonesia’s provincesbetween August and October 2015. Data were analysed thematically, supported by QSR NVIVO 10 software.Findings: Four key themes emerged from the data analysis: (i) returning home; (ii) going back to zero; (iii)walking through a difficult journey; and (iv) overcoming barriers. These findings described the livedexperiences of nurse returnees when they got back to the country of origin.Conclusion: Indonesian nurse returnees experienced deskilling and struggled to re-enter the nursingprofession or to find other non-nursing jobs. The significant impact of this migration on individual nurseswith regard to maximizing the benefits of return migration deserves further investigation.Implication for nursing and health policy: The Indonesian government, jointly with other stakeholders,should develop a brain gain strategy to align returnees’ expertise with the needs of the national labourmarket. The public-private partnership should be strengthened to utilize returnees in healthcare services.

description: We show that electrons recolliding with the ionic core upon tunnel ionization of noble gas atoms driven by a strong circularly polarized laser field in combination with a counter-rotating second harmonic are spin polarized and that their degree of polarization depends strongly on the recollision time. Spin polarization arises as a consequence of (1) entanglement between the recolliding electron and the ion, and (2) sensitivity of ionization to the sense of electron rotation in the initial state. We demonstrate that one can engineer the degree of spin polarization as a function of time by tuning the relative intensities of the counter-rotating fields, opening the door for attosecond control of spin-resolved dynamics.

description: Prompted by recent reports on $\sqrt{3} \times \sqrt{3}$ graphene superlattices with intrinsic inter-valley interactions, we perform first-principles calculations to investigate the electronic properties of periodically nitrogen-doped graphene and carbon nanotube nanostructures. In these structures, nitrogen atoms substitute one-sixth of the carbon atoms in the pristine hexagonal lattices with exact periodicity to form perfect $\sqrt{3} \times \sqrt{3}$ superlattices of graphene and carbon nanotubes. Multiple nanostructures of $\sqrt{3} \times \sqrt{3}$ graphene ribbons and carbon nanotubes are explored, and all configurations show nonmagnetic and metallic behaviors. The transport properties of $\sqrt{3} \times \sqrt{3}$ graphene and carbon nanotube superlattices are calculated utilizing the non-equilibrium Green's function formalism combined with density functional theory. The transmission spectrum through the pristine and $\sqrt{3} \times \sqrt{3}$ armchair carbon nanotube heterostructure shows quantized behavior under certain circumstances.

description: The interaction between thin structures and incompressible Newtonian fluids is ubiquitous both in nature and in industrial applications. In this paper we present an isogeometric formulation of such problems which exploits a boundary integral formulation of Stokes equations to model the surrounding flow, and a non linear Kirchhoff-Love shell theory to model the elastic behaviour of the structure. We propose three different coupling strategies: a monolithic, fully implicit coupling, a staggered, elasticity driven coupling, and a novel semi-implicit coupling, where the effect of the surrounding flow is incorporated in the non-linear terms of the solid solver through its damping characteristics. The novel semi-implicit approach is then used to demonstrate the power and robustness of our method, which fits ideally in the isogeometric paradigm, by exploiting only the boundary representation (B-Rep) of the thin structure middle surface.

description: Suami SIAGA, which translates literally as the ‘alert husband’, is a national campaign that was createdin early 2000 to promote male participation in maternal and child health program in Indonesia. The purpose of this study was to identify the proportion of men who took part in Suami SIAGA and the fac- tors associated with their participation using the 2012 Indonesia Demographic and Health Survey (IDHS). This study also examined the relationship between Suami SIAGA and the following results related to the national campaign: the presence of husbands at antenatal care (ANC) units and the place of delivery at health facilities. Data on the characteristics of husbands and wives, as well as other related factors, the perceived elements of Suami SIAGA, and the national campaign outcomes were obtained from a total of 1256 eligible male subjects, drawn from the matched couples’ data set. The data was analysed using bivariate and multiple logistic regression to test the associations. This study found that 86% of the respondents were categorised as SIAGA husbands. After controlling all the vari- ables, age and education of wife factors were significantly associated with Suami SIAGA, especially in the group of women aged 41–49 years old (OR ¼ 2.4, 95% CI: 1.1–5.5) and women with a secondary level of education (OR ¼ 1.8, 95% CI: 1.2–2.7) and higher (OR ¼ 2.8, 95% CI: 1.4–5.6). SIAGA husbands were more likely to attend their wives’ ANC (OR ¼ 2.3; 95% CI: 1.4–3.7). This study provides evidence on the benefi of husband involvement in maternal health, especially to improve ANC attendance. Empowering women themselves should also be addressed in leveraging the impact of Suami SIAGA.

description: This thesis examines the relationship between teacher perceptions of textbooks and their teaching practice in the context of Chinese as a Foreign Language teaching in NSW schools. A quantitative survey and qualitative interviews of currently practising secondary teachers reveal that L1 Chinese background teachers experience tensions in several aspects of their work. This study seeks to highlight the importance Chinese background teachers of Mandarin place on textbooks, as well as the extent to which textbooks impact on their teaching practice. Results indicate school languages programs commonly use a suite of teaching materials, including hard copy textbooks. The way these resources are utilized varies from school to school, with some factors intrinsic to individual teacher preferences, and others externally determined. Teacher participants of this study admitted an awareness of pedagogical heritage as a determiner of textbook status. They also shed light on what can be described as a diverse community of teaching professionals in cultural and pedagogical transition. Implications include an argument for improvements in pre-­service teacher training and in-­service professional development programs, which can bridge cultural and linguistic gaps between Chinese background teachers and their colleagues, as well as promote confidence in the use of multi-­modal approach to the creation and use of teaching materials.

description: A super-modular category is a unitary pre-modular category with Müger center equivalent to the symmetric unitary category of super-vector spaces. Super-modular categories are important alternatives to modular categories as any unitary pre-modular category is the equivariantization of a either a modular or super-modular category. Physically, super-modular categories describe universal properties of quasiparticles in fermionic topological phases of matter. In general one does not have a representation of the modular group $\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{Z})$ associated to a super-modular category, but it is possible to obtain a representation of the (index 3) $θ$-subgroup: $Γ_θ

description: We consider several quadrilateral origami tilings, including the Miura-ori crease pattern, allowing for crease-reversal defects above the ground state which maintain local flat-foldability. Using exactly solvable models, we show that these origami tilings can have phase transitions as a function of crease state variables, as a function of the arrangement of creases around vertices, and as a function of local layer orderings of neighboring faces. We use the exactly solved cases of the staggered odd 8-vertex model as well as Baxter's exactly solved 3-coloring problem on the square lattice to study these origami tilings. By treating the crease-reversal defects as a lattice gas, we find exact analytic expressions for their density, which is directly related to the origami material's elastic modulus. The density and phase transition analysis has implications for the use of these origami tilings as tunable metamaterials; our analysis shows that Miura-ori's density is more tunable than Barreto's Mars, for example. We also find that there is a broader range of tunability as a function of the density of layering defects compared to as a function of the density of crease order defects before the phase transition point is reached; material and mechanical properties that depend on local layer ordering properties will have a greater amount of tunability. The defect density of Barreto's Mars, on the other hand, can be increased until saturation without passing through a phase transition point. We further consider relaxing the requirement of local flat-foldability by mapping to a solvable case of the 16-vertex model, demonstrating a different phase transition point for this case.

description: Employing the 2012 Indonesia Demographic and Health Survey data, we aimed to examine factors in􀃓uencing marriedwomen to use maternity services. Data of married women who had given birth in the last 􀃒ve years before the survey wereincluded in the analysis (n = 14,672). Factors of education, employment, women's age at 􀃒rst marriage, age at 􀃒rst birth,spousal education di􀃗erence, contraceptive use, place of residence, and woman's attitude toward wife beating wereassociated with the use of antenatal care, institutional delivery, and postnatal care services. The likelihood of women usingthose recommended maternal health care services increased along with the increased educational attainment among womenand their spouses, and the older age at 􀃒rst birth. Higher schooling years may contribute to improving adequate maternalhealth care. Community awareness on maternal health issues should be promoted and to include the prevention of earlymarriage, teenage pregnancies, and domestic violence.By the end of Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) the maternal mortality ratio (MMR) has been successfully reduced byalmost half since 1990 (United Nations, 2015). Nevertheless, more than three hundred thousand women around the worlddied during pregnancy and childbirth in 2015, while millions of women experience risks of obstetric complications and otherhealth problems (World Health Organization, 2015). Almost 59% of these maternal deaths were from ten developing countriesincluding Indonesia (World Health Organization, 2015). This country ranks the fourth highest maternal mortality ratio amongSoutheast Asia countries after Lao PDR, Myanmar, and Cambodia (ASEANstats, 2015). Based on the 2012 IndonesianDemographic and Health Survey (the 2012 IDHS), the maternal mortality ratio fell slightly from 390 deaths per 100,000 livebirths in 1991 to 359 deaths per 100,000 live births in 2012 (Bappenas, 2015). Every year, about 􀃒ve million women give birthin this country bringing more concern on this persistent high mortality rate (MoH, 2015).

description: Non-parametric detrending or noise reduction methods are often employed to separate trends from noisy time series when no satisfactory models exist to fit the data. However, conventional detrending methods depend on subjective choices of detrending parameters. Here, we present a simple multivariate detrending method based on available nonlinear forecasting techniques. These are in turn based on state space reconstruction for which a strong theoretical justification exists for their use in non-parametric forecasting. The detrending method presented here is conceptually similar to Schreiber's noise reduction method using state space reconstruction. However, we show that Schreiber's method contains a minor flaw that can be overcome with forecasting. Furthermore, our detrending method contains a simple but nontrivial extension to multivariate time series. We apply the detrending method to multivariate time series generated from the Van der Pol oscillator, the Lorenz equations, the Hindmarsh-Rose model of neuronal spiking activity, and a univariate real-life measles data set. It is demonstrated that detrending heuristics can be objectively optimized with in-sample forecasting errors that correlate well with actual detrending errors.

description: In this paper, we discuss the cycle theory on moduli spaces $\cF_h$ of $h$-polarized hyperkähler manifolds. Firstly, we construct the tautological ring on $\cF_h$ following the work of Marian, Oprea and Pandharipande on the tautological conjecture on moduli spaces of K3 surfaces. We study the tautological classes in cohomology groups and prove that most of them are linear combinations of Noether-Lefschetz cycle classes. In particular, we prove the cohomological version of the tautological conjecture on moduli space of K3$^{[n]}$-type hyperkähler manifolds with $n\leq 2$. Secondly, we prove the cohomological generalized Franchetta conjecture on universal family of these hyperkähler manifolds.

description: Loosely speaking, the Shannon entropy rate is used to gauge a stochastic process' intrinsic randomness; the statistical complexity gives the cost of predicting the process. We calculate, for the first time, the entropy rate and statistical complexity of stochastic processes generated by finite unifilar hidden semi-Markov models---memoryful, state-dependent versions of renewal processes. Calculating these quantities requires introducing novel mathematical objects (ε-machines of hidden semi-Markov processes) and new information-theoretic methods to stochastic processes.

Humanitarian intervention as a normative overlay on the use of force
Creators: name: McIlwain, David
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: This thesis explores humanitarian intervention as a normative overlay on the use of force. Advocates of humanitarian intervention prefer to frame the idea as an emerging norm of state behaviour in international politics. However, in reframing the idea as a ‘normative overlay’, many of the shortcomings of the ‘norm’ approach become clear. This normative overlay has its own historical sources and must be examined in conjunction with the events it would normatively legitimate. Accordingly, I challenge the teleology of the view that humanitarian intervention is the culmination of moral progress and demonstrate its sources in contingent historical and intellectual developments from the 1960s onwards. I then apply this understanding of humanitarian intervention to the decade of the 1990s to reveal the dissonance between the normative overlay and historical instances of intervention in that decade. I argue that these incongruities reflect a number of stresses that have developed from the clash of a range of international norms with this normative overlay on intervention. I conclude that the while the normative overlay lacks the power to constrain and direct state behaviour in significant ways, the impulses of global justice and human rights enforcement which it represents have destabilising and antidemocratic implications for international politics.

description: We establish a connection between recent developments in the study of vortices in the abelian Higgs models, and in the theory of structure-preserving discrete conformal maps. We explain how both are related via conformal mapping problems involving prescribed linear combinations of the curvature and volume form, and show how the discrete conformal theory can be used to construct discrete vortex solutions.

description: We calculate the charge distributions of $d^*(2380)$. Two different interpretations of the $d^*$ are considered for a comparison. One is a compact explanation with coupled $ΔΔ+CC$ two-channel approximation in the chiral constituent quark model. Another is a resonance state of $D_{12}π$. The remarkable differences of the charge distributions in the two pictures are shown and it is expected that the future experiments may provide a clear test for the different theoretical interpretations.
