description: Hintergrund: Die Pflegeprofession wird heute neben anderen Gesundheitsberufen als gleichwertig anerkannt, jedoch bestehen veraltete Vorstellungen des Berufsbildes. Stereotypisierte Darstellungen in den sozialen Medien (SM), von der ärztlichen Hilfskraft bis zur sexualisierten Krankenschwester, untergraben das professionelle Image. Die SM besitzen eine starke Meinungsbildungskraft, weshalb die pflegerische Darstellung darin untersucht werden muss.

Fragestellung: Wie wird die Darstellung des pflegerischen Berufes in den sozialen Medien von der Gesellschaft und den Pflegenden wahrgenommen?

Methode: Es wurde eine systematisierte Literaturrecherche durchgeführt. Sechs Studien wurden anhand des Arbeitsinstruments für ein Critical Appraisal (Ris et al., 2022) zusammengefasst, sowie kritisch gewürdigt. Die Ergebnisanalyse erfolgte mittels des Stigma-/ Identitätskonzepts (Goffman, 1963).

Ergebnisse: Die Gesellschaft nimmt die Pflegeprofession insgesamt positiv, aber auch als nicht-autonome Dienstleute der Ärzt:innen, nicht-intellektuell und als Frauenberuf wahr. Die SM stärken das Zugehörigkeitsgefühl der Pflegenden zur Gemeinschaft und fördern die Identifikation mit den Berufsnormen und -werten.

Schlussfolgerung: Die Darstellung in den SM beeinflusst die gesellschaftliche und pflegerische Wahrnehmung. Die SM dienen als Werkzeug, um die Berufsidentität zu stärken und gegen stereotypisierte Darstellungen anzukämpfen. Trotzdem muss ein Bewusstsein für die Macht der SM über die Wahrnehmung der Gesellschaft geschaffen werden.
Signal and variance component estimation in high dimensional linear models

description: Over the past several decades, dimensionalities of many datasets have grown exponentially as technology advances. Many approaches have been proposed to tackle high-dimensional problems, where dimensionality is much larger than the sample size. This dissertation focuses on developing methodologies for signal and variance component estimations in three different areas, compressive sensing, genome-wide association studies and demand forecasting in the e-commerce industry. In literature, signal and variance component estimations are usually treated as independent tasks, and this work draws the connection between these estimation goals.       For the first problem in compressive sensing, we propose an algorithm that incorporates nonparametric empirical Bayes method with generalized approximate message passing (AMP). Generalized AMP is an effective algorithm for recovering signals from noisy linear measurements, assuming known a priori signal distributions.  However, in practice, both the signal distribution and noise level are often unknown. We propose nonparametric maximum likelihood-AMP (NPML-AMP) for estimating an arbitrary signal distribution in this setting.  In addition, we propose a simple noise variance estimator for use in conjunction with NPML-AMP.      For the second problem in genome-wide association studies, we focus on heritability estimation methods related to variance components estimation problems  for linear mixed models (LMMs). Heritability is the proportion of phenotype variance explained by genetic variance, and standard approaches to LMM-based heritability estimation have some unresolved inconsistencies. We suggest that by adopting a slightly different statistical perspective, many of these inconsistencies can be seamlessly resolved. Moreover, with Mahalanobis kernel, we define a natural version of heritability, as a conditional variance under the fixed-effects model.     The third problem is associated with predictions for online retailing demand forecasting and genetic risk prediction. In these big-data applications, regression-based linear dimension reduction technique performs well in minimizing out-of-sample error. We identify the asymptotic risk of such sharp estimate with a model known to be misspecified. More importantly, we propose to estimate its asymptotic risk by variance component estimation discussed in the second problem. The risk evaluation technique can also be extended to the model comparison between other methods with explicit asymptotic risk.

description: The development of novel materials has been central to enabling technological change that has affected humankind in many positive ways, and a few negative ones.  From the utilization primitive stone tools to the smelting of iron and other metals to the introduction of semiconductor devices we continuously bring new materials and devices into everyday life.  Their introduction has been accelerating during the past century, in part because of our much more sophisticated understanding of the basic atomic scale nature of materials.  Today, the development of new material requires that we fully understand their atomic composition and structure and the unique properties that they may hold: mechanical, electronic, magnetic, optical, etc.  This understanding requires that we employ sophisticated atomic scale characterization techniques.  Helium Ion Microscopy (HIM) is one such technique, a novel microscopy method introduced over the past decade that empowers researcher not only to image sample surfaces with sub-nanometer resolution but to directly probe insulating samples.    This thesis introduces the new technique of Helium Ion Microscopy and demonstrates its use in a few rather different applications.  It also describes a new method that we developed to enable nanoscale elemental analysis.  Direct visualization of previously inaccessible insulating samples has enabled us to image the nanoscale effects of a newly discovered drug.  A series of images offers a vivid set of evidence of restoration of ischemia damaged kidney structures in rats.  In another study we proposed a new mechanism for the growth of coral calcium carbonate skeletons, where (in combination with several other analytical tools) Helium Ion Microscopy produced images not only of excellent scientific value but also of high aesthetic beauty as acknowledged by publications in Science, Nature, and the New York Times.   We have further helped the development of Helium Ion Microscopy by introducing a new method of in-situ elemental analysis.  Based on a time of flight principle, our novel detector system is capable of providing compositional analysis of samples in additional to high-resolution imaging (essentially nano-scale Rutherford backscattering).  Working in the 30 keV He+ energy regime, our time of flight detector system collects backscattered He particles, then by measuring the energy loss that occurs during the backscattering process we can identify the elements in the target. This is a substantially more sensitive and quantitative technique with higher spatial resolution compared to Energy Dispersive X-ray spectroscopy in SEMs, the most important established technique.

Outer spaces
Creators: name: McAuley, Kyle
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2018

description: This dissertation constructs a new literary history of the British Empire by showing how geography underpins novelistic form in the long nineteenth century. “Outer Spaces” claims that the nineteenth-century British provincial novel’s representations of distantly administered rural geographies create the formal foundations of late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century empire fiction’s conceptualizations of colonial space. While work on empire has grown increasingly mainstream in Victorian studies, it still too often conceives of the literature of imperialism as separate from the field’s domestic core. My project challenges this division. In doing so, it reveals that the geographic form of novelistic narrative ties together the outlying precincts of both metropole and periphery. Engaging with the rich critical traditions that view novelistic form as conditioned by geography as well as history, my project raises the visibility of obscured, outlying spaces in a traditional corpus and ties them together by revealing how the domestic roots of British imperialism condition the very literary structures through which the Victorians would come to know the empire.   In charting a new literary history of British imperialism from the decades preceding the Victorian age through to modernism, I divide my project into two parts, following a cultural shift through the project’s corpus from direct administrative control (Part I) to ecological transformation and resource extraction (Part II) as the primary mode of overseeing marginalized spaces and their populations. In addition to complicating extant histories of New Imperialism and Britain’s “Scramble for Africa,” I argue that sovereignty and the environment are inextricably linked in the literary history of the British Empire’s territorial frontiers. As I develop this claim across the project, I concurrently trace how the geographic structuring of the novel in these outlying spaces conditions the possibilities for colonial discourse. As the project moves to the threshold of the postcolonial era, I demonstrate how the long nineteenth-century novel’s spatial formalism created the imaginative conditions for early, land-focused resistances to colonial power. Joining postcolonial and environmental concerns, I discuss border crossings in Walter Scott and Rudyard Kipling; novelistic cartography in Anthony Trollope, Robert Louis Stevenson, and H. Rider Haggard; ports in George Eliot and Joseph Conrad; and agrarian plains in Thomas Hardy and Olive Schreiner. In their work to connect literary geography with coloniality, these novels, I argue, knit together the human, cultural, and environmental scales of British imperialism.

Investigation of continuous wet granulation processes via implementation of pharmaceutical quality by design principles
Creators: name: Meng, Wei
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2018

description: Wet granulation is a widely used downstream unit operation for size enlargement in the manufacturing of solid oral dosage forms. It has also been considered as a particle design technique to improve powder flow properties, reduce ingredient segregation and modulate compatibility of particulates as well as drug release kinetics. In recent years, continuous manufacturing has been drawing considerable attention due to its intrinsic advantages over conventional batch processing such as improved manufacturing efficiency and enhanced product quality.     The main focus of this dissertation is to understand diverse continuous wet granulation systems by employing pharmaceutical quality by design principles. The performance of different commercial twin-screw and high-shear granulators were compared and their design space was explored by leveraging statistical design of experiments. Critical process parameters (e.g., rotation speed, liquid to solid ratio, throughput and barrel temperature), design elements (e.g., screw configuration and injection location of liquid constituents) and formulation variables (e.g., drug hydrophobicity, primary particle size, binder delivery methods and granulation liquid viscosity and surface tension) were comprehensively studied to examine the influence on critical attributes of granules (e.g., size distribution, porosity, bulk density, tapped density, flowability, strength, drug segregation and particle shape) and tablets (tensile strength, porosity, friability, disintegration time, drug agglomerate size distribution and release kinetics).     Furthermore, process understanding was enhanced by unraveling the granulation mechanisms with fundamental regime maps regarding wetting and nucleation as well as consolidation and coalescence. Dissolution mechanisms of tablets produced at different processing conditions were elucidated by delving into the discrepancy in their physical and chemical microstructures. In addition, several complementary process analytical technologies such as EyeconTM, near-infrared and Raman spectroscopy were implemented in a twin-screw granulation process to enable real-time release testing of granule physical properties and drug content uniformity.

description: Genus Biamomyrma gen. n.
Type species Biamomyrma zherikhini sp. n.
Diagnosis (for fossil imprints). Gyne. Petiole nodiform, sessile.Postpetiole bell-shaped, markedly broadly attached to 1st gastral (abdominal IV) segment. 1st gastral (abdominal IV) segment without tergosternal fusion. Scape comparatively short, not reaching the occipital margin. Mandibles triangular, dentate. Scutum does not overhang pronotum. Forewing with closed cells 3r, 1+2r, rm and mcu.
Species included. Three species described below.
Comparison. Differs from other fossil Myrmicinae in combination of bell-shaped postpetiole, short scape, and complete forewing venation. Outwardly similar to Agroecomyrmex Wheeler, 1915. However key character of Agroecomyrmicinae is completely fused tergite and sternite of 1st gastral (abdominal IV) segment, whereas Biamomyrma gen. n. has 1st gastral segment without tergosternal fusion.
Notes. The material available does not permit identifying a number of the antennal segment in Biamomyrma: B. zherikhini sp. n. displays only 3 basal flagellar segments, in B. lata sp. n. flagellum is detached and preserves clearly 8segments which are not necessarily include the basalmost flagellar segment(s). Biamomyrma rugose sp.n. clearly preserves 9flagellar segments, but the apicalmost one have its apex ill-preserved, thus leaving doubts if it is really apical segment.
Etymology. From former name of locality (Biamo) and Greek Myrmica (ant).

Drying of supported catalysts

description: Supported catalysts are widely used in many industries. Manufacturing these catalysts is extremely complex and these processes are influenced by many interdependent parameters. Although their performance and activity are the most critical properties, their structures and design are also critical to their effectiveness. Research work showed how the adsorption of metal on the catalyst support and film breakage could significantly influence metal distributions at lower concentrations. A nickel nitrate hexahydrate-alumina system was studied. It was observed that at higher concentrations, the adsorption parameters were no longer the controlling factor, and solution properties began to take over the metal distribution characteristics. Solution properties like density, viscosity, surface tension and volume ratio of metal begin to take over the metal distribution at these high concentrations. At very high concentrations (about 3.0 M), a uniform metal distribution profile was observed due to the high concentration and low melting point of the metal salt, leading to a molten liquid phase during drying. This model which was based on nickel nitrate hexahydrate, exhibited a good agreement with experimental results. To apply this model to other metal-support systems, a lot of experiments would have to be repeated to determine the metal solution properties as they are unique to different metal-support combinations. In this thesis, we designed and created a simplified model based on the high-concentration nickel nitrate hexahydrate model. This model can be applied to other metals on an Alumina support and can simulate their metal distributions after the drying process. Designing this model involved a detailed analysis of each of the solution based parameters and adsorption parameters considered for nickel nitrate. A reduced parameter model involving fewer parameters was developed and tested using a new metal precursor - cobalt nitrate hexahydrate. Experiments were then performed for cobalt nitrate hexahydrate on alumina supports and their parameters were incorporated into the model. Post drying metal distributions for different concentrations of the metal solutions were generated using this model.

description: This dissertation examines the situations of shit(ting) and sewage in urban India to understand the processes contributing the gap between infrastructure construction and service delivery. The conditions of sewage services in India are particularly confounding given its growing economic power and the massive spending that has been put toward its sewage services in the last several decades.  Drawing upon data from ethnographic interviews, plan analysis, participant observation, and historical data collection, I develop three primary findings. First, I conclude that the most commonly state problematization of residents, inconvenience, is not acknowledge by formal governance institutions. Further, the problematization favored by those institutions, contagion, was not viewed as a problem for residents. Second, using three common characterizations of infrastructure – visibility, function, and work – I demonstrate that many of the constructions readily recognized as infrastructure are, in fact, simply representations of sewage infrastructure. Additionally, improvisations enacted by those without access to sewage services has made other components of the city de facto infrastructure, but are not recognized as such. Finally, sewage governance in Agra forms what I call a hybrid network and I find that practices that strengthen micro-level and inter-level connections within that network lead to better outcomes.

Understanding the anti-cancer activities of Moringa isothiocyanates in breast cancer cells

description: Isothiocyanates (ITCs) are a class of naturally occurring compounds shown to have anti-cancer activities and promising chemopreventive prospects. Moringa oleifera (MO), a cruciferous vegetable widely cultivated in the tropics, has been used by locals to treat different diseases for centuries. Moringa Isothiocyanates (MIC) is produced from MO when the four unique sugar-modified aromatic glucosinolates it contains are hydrolyzed in a reaction catalyzed by myrosinase.  In this study, we evaluated the efficacy of MIC on 9 different breast cancer cell lines and found it to be a potent anti-cancer agent. Interestingly, two of the most sensitive cells lines to MIC, BT474 and HCC1954, were both positive for HER2. HER2 is amplified in up to 30% of breast cancers and is positively correlated with poor prognosis in patients.    We hypothesized that HER2 overexpression induces hypersensitivity to MIC in breast cancer cells. Our studies using MCF7 and MDA-MB-231 with and without HER2 overexpression further confirmed the correlation between HER2 overexpression and hypersensitivity to MIC. To understand why increased sensitivity to MIC was observed in HER2+ breast cancer cell lines as compared to HER2- cell lines, intracellular levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) was examined. Higher basal intracellular ROS levels were observed in HER2+ cell lines compared to HER2- ones.  We also hypothesized that the anti-cancer activity of MIC may involve an ROS regulatory pathway. Indeed, we found that MIC clearly regulates NRF2 and KEAP1 expression in multiple breast cancer cell lines. Additionally, MIC also triggers changes in intracellular ROS levels in a cell line-dependent manner, suggesting that MIC adopts different mechanisms of action in different breast cancer cell lines.   Our work shows that MIC may open new frontiers in breast cancer prevention and therapy, particularly for those with HER2 amplification.
Fundamental groups of open manifolds of non-negative Ricci curvature

description: We study the fundamental groups of open n-manifolds of non-negative Ricci curvature, via the method of Gromov-Hausdorff convergence. In 1968, Milnor conjectured that any open n-manifold M of non-negative Ricci curvature has a finitely generated fundamental group. In this thesis, we verify this conjecture under various geometrical conditions. We show that the Milnor conjecture holds when M has dimension 3, or when the Riemannian universal cover of M has Euclidean volume growth and the unique tangent cone at infinity, or when pi_1(M)-action on the Riemannian universal cover satisfies the no small almost subgroup condition.

Evaluation of k − w turbulence model and Euler flux schemes for shock wave turbulent boundary layer interaction
Creators: name: Patel, Saumil B.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2018

description: Shock-wave boundary-layer interaction (SBLI) has long been an important phenomenon in aerodynamics, from transonic through to hypersonic speeds. High-speed flow has been at  the center of research for many applications such as the hypersonic flight engine (i.e., scramjet), aircraft (i.e., SR-72), re-entry vehicle (i.e., Space Shuttle), missile (i.e., BrahMos-II) and high-speed transportation (i.e., Hyperloop, Uber Elevate). As hypersonics is still an area of research, we need more reliable CFD models to predict the flow structures of the flows over complex geometries. For that purpose, available models should be validated in order to develop an understanding of a reliable computational model development approach for hypersonic flow. In the current research work, the assessment of the k−! Wilcox (2006) turbulence model to predict surface aerothermodynamic loading on a large hollow cylinder flare configuration for turbulent flows ranging from Mach 5 to 8 has been performed. Additionally, three Euler flux schemes, i.e., Roe, AUSM+ and HLLE+, have been evaluated  along with a grid independence study. The experimental data from CUBRC has been used for validation of the numerical results. The surface pressure is consistently underpredicted and surface heat transfer is consistently overpredicted by the k − w Wilcox (2006) turbulence model. Also, an unphysical spike in turbulent kinetic energy is observed upstream of the reattachment location. The k − w turbulence model overpredicts the size of the separation region for all cases which is an important factor to be taken into consideration while designing control surfaces for hypersonic vehicles.
A mechanics based analytical model of vitreous motion and vitreous detachment in the human eye when subjected to saccadic movement
Creators: name: Pavlou, Michael J.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2018

description: In the human eye, the detachment behavior of the vitreous cortex from the sensory retina is clinically significant as this pathology is highly correlated with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, a serious eye condition that can result in vision loss. A mechanics based mathematical model for vitreo-retinal detachment in the human eye when subjected to saccadic eye motion is presented in this dissertation. The problem is formulated as a two-dimensional propagating boundary value viscoelasticity problem in the calculus of variations. This formulation yields the governing equations of the vitreous body, boundary conditions, matching conditions and a transversality condition which, in turn, yields the detachment criterion during a saccade.    The first part of the dissertation studies a constrained two-dimensional model where only the dominant motion of the vitreous is considered. Closed form analytical solutions of the coupled set of partial differential equations are obtained via modal analysis of a vibrating two-dimensional continuum with non-periodic loading. Results of numerical simulations are presented, ultimately revealing the evolution of the detachment of the vitreo-retinal interface.    In the second part of the dissertation, fully two-dimensional motion of the vitreous is considered. A semi-analytical solution is obtained via the Rayleigh-Ritz method in combination with modal analysis. Results are compared to the constrained two-dimensional model, as well as to clinically observed data and previously published experimental and numerical studies. The material properties of the human vitreous are both difficult to study, and change significantly with age and other factors. The effects of these properties on the motion of the vitreous and the detachment behavior of the vitreo-retinal interface are studied. The results of the present study indicate that if a saccade is large enough to cause further detachment of the vitreous from the retina, then the detachment will progress until it reaches a point of abnormal vitreo-retinal adhesion.

description: This record includes training materials associated with the Australian BioCommons workshop ‘Phylogenetics: Back to basics’’. This workshop took place on 1 July 2024.

Event description

Phylogenetics is essential for comparing biological species and understanding biodiversity for conservation. This workshop discusses the basic principles and methods of phylogenetic inference and what you can learn from phylogenetic estimation. It is intended to help you make informed decisions about which methods to use in your research.

Using real-life data and standard tools that are (mostly) available in Galaxy, the workshop demonstrates the principles behind a variety of methods used to estimate phylogenetic trees from aligned sequence data or distance data.

This is not a "how to" workshop, but is instead aimed at giving you a better understanding of the principles of phylogenetics and how the methods work. Maybe you've even built phylogenetic trees before but want to know more about the principles behind the tools.

Lead trainer: Professor Michael Charleston, University of Tasmania

Facilitator: Michael Thang, QCIF and Galaxy Austrlaia

Host: Dr Melissa Burke, Australian BioCommons.
