description: Submission note: A thesis submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy to the Sociology Program, School of Social Sciences, Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, La Trobe University, Bundoora.

This thesis seeks to understand the re-emergence of spiritual beliefs and practices, albeit with modification and creative borrowings, in Vietnam’s post-Renovation era. It does so by considering three currently active new religious groups in Vietnam: the School of Teaching Goodness; the Way of Hồ Chí Minh as the Jade Buddha; and the Tố Dương’s Field of Extrasensory Perception. Fieldwork was conducted with the founders/leaders and followers of these groups in order to analyse their emergence, organisation, doctrines, rituals and practices. These groups appear to be thriving despite the cautious approach of the authorities, and criticisms in the media and from some established religious organisations. The thesis argues that these groups are part of a process of religious reconfiguration caused by the intensified interactions between the religious and non-religious spheres in a rapidly modernising Vietnam. Within the religious sphere, for example, these new religious groups develop new syncretic forms of worship that combine the familiar vocabularies of Buddhism and folk spiritual practices in innovative ways. They also challenge established religions by providing alternative pathways to salvation. Without the religious sphere, the three new religious groups I discuss seek to engage with the political sphere in order to affect state regulation of religious minorities and to gain legitimacy by making reference to familiar figures, such as Hồ Chí Minh. My empirical findings also indicate how new religious groups re-enchant the economic and the public sphere. The argument made in the thesis is that the emergence of these and other similar groups does not simply equate to so many new religions in Vietnam. Rather, as I demonstrate, post-1986 new religious groups have changed the shape of the religious sphere in Vietnam, redefined the relationship between new religions and state-recognised religious organisation, and offered options for the Vietnamese to continuously adapt religion to modernity.

description: Thyroid hormones play an important role in cell growth and differentiation and regulation of oxygen consumption and thermogenesis. The effect of altitude and vitamin supplementation on thyroid hormone levels in animals or humans performing acute exhaustive exercise have not been investigated before. Therefore, we thought to test whether exhaustive exerciseinduced stress with antioxidant supplementation was capable of modulating the level of thyroid hormones at different altitudes. Serum levels of T4 (Thyroxin), T3 (Triiodothyronine), and TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) were measured in rats (N=36) born and bred in low altitude (600 m above sea level) and high altitude (2200 m above sea level) following forced swimming with or without vitamins C and E (25 mg/kg) pre-treatments. Thyroid levels were significantly decreased in resting rats at high altitude compared to low altitude, and swimming exercise moderately increased T3 and TSH at both high and low altitudes, whereas T4 was markedly increased (62 %) at low altitude compared to a moderate high altitude increase (28 %). Co-administration of vitamins C and E augmented the observed forced swimminginduced thyroid release. However, the conversion of T4 to T3 was reduced in both altitude areas following swimming exercise and vitamin pre-treatment had no effect. We conclude that acute stress induced thyroidal hormones in rats, which was augmented by antioxidant drugs in both high and low altitude areas. These findings may play an important role in the human pathophysiology of thyroid gland at different altitudes.

description: The scaling of antiferromagnetic ordering temperature of corundum-type chromia films have been investigated. Néel temperature $T_N$ was determined from the effect of perpendicular exchange-bias on the magnetization of a weakly-coupled adjacent ferromagnet. For a thick-film case, the validity of detection is confirmed by a susceptibility measurement. Detection of $T_N$ was possible down to 1-nm-thin chromia films. The scaling of ordering temperature with thickness was studied using different buffering materials, and compared with Monte-Carlo simulations. The spin-correlation length and the corresponding critical exponent were estimated, and they were consistent between experimental and simulation results. The spin-correlation length is an order of magnitude less than cubic antiferromagnets. We propose that the difference is from the change of number of exchange-coupling links in the two crystal systems.

description: This paper investigates how affective forecasting errors (A.F.E.s), the difference between anticipated emotion and the emotion actually experienced, may induce changes in preferences on time, risk and occupation after combat. Building on psychological theories incorporating the role of emotion in decision-making, we designed a before-and-after-mission survey for Danish soldiers deployed to Afghanistan in 2011. Our hypothesis of an effect from A.F.E.s is tested by controlling for other mechanisms that may also change preferences: immediate emotion, trauma effect – proxied by post-traumatic stress disorder (P.T.S.D.) – and changes in wealth and risk perception. At the aggregate level, results show stable preferences before and after mission. We find positive A.F.E.s for all three emotions studied (fear, anxiety and excitement), with anticipated emotions stronger than those actually experienced. We provide evidence that positive A.F.E.s regarding fear significantly increase risk tolerance and impatience, while positive A.F.E.s regarding excitement strengthen the will to stay in the military. Trauma has no impact on these preferences.

Understanding economics of inflation expectation in light of modern cognitive psychology

description: Submission note: A thesis submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy to the School of Economics, Faculty of Business, Economics and Law, La Trobe University, Bundoora.

This thesis is an attempt to develop a cognitive psychology model which enhances our understanding of inflation expectation. It investigates inflation expectation formation in both individual and aggregate level. At the individual level, empirically proven cognitive psychology is taken to build a conceptual framework and then extended to form a mathematical model that describes how economic agents form inflation expectations. It also argues that inflation expectation is based on inflation perception and some macroeconomic information perceived by agents. At the aggregate level, this thesis investigates the statistical distribution of inflation expectations which is generated by the mathematical model. It shows that, due to the central limit theorem for median, shapes of the distribution of price perception and hence inflation expectations have similar distributions in different countries. Furthermore, we use this model to understand what information agents used to form inflation expectations.

description: During the 2021 conflict in Tigray (north Ethiopia), crop cultivation has been hampered by warfare. Oxen have been looted and killed, farm inputs and tools destroyed by Ethiopian and Eritrean soldiers. Farmers felt vulnerable out in the open with their oxen. To produce, farmers evaluated risks involved with ploughing and organised lookouts. Overall, a large part of the land had been tilled in difficult conditions, and crops sown that require minimal management, without fertiliser, what led to low yields. True Colour Composite images, produced from Sentinel satellite imagery show that smallholder irrigation schemes were operational. There was a shift from commercial crops to cereals. The situation in western Tigray was particular, as there has been ethnic cleansing of the population and often the 2020 rainfed crops had even not been harvested. Overall, our findings show that the Tigrayan smallholder farming system is resilient, thanks to community self-organisation, combining common strategies of agrarian societies in wartime: spatio-temporal shift in agricultural activities to avoid the proximity with soldiers and shifts in crop types. Rather unique is the relying on communal aid, while the blockade of the Tigray region made that outmigration and off-farm income were no options for the farmers.

Pairwise adaptive thermostats for improved accuracy and stability in dissipative particle dynamics

Subjects: subject: Computational Physics (physics.comp-ph)

description: We examine the formulation and numerical treatment of dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) and momentum-conserving molecular dynamics. We show that it is possible to improve both the accuracy and the stability of DPD by employing a pairwise adaptive Langevin thermostat that precisely matches the dynamical characteristics of DPD simulations (e.g., autocorrelation functions) while automatically correcting thermodynamic averages using a negative feedback loop. In the low friction regime, it is possible to replace DPD by a simpler momentum-conserving variant of the Nosé--Hoover--Langevin method based on thermostatting only pairwise interactions; we show that this method has an extra order of accuracy for an important class of observables (a superconvergence result), while also allowing larger timesteps than alternatives. All the methods mentioned in the article are easily implemented. Numerical experiments are performed in both equilibrium and nonequilibrium settings; using Lees--Edwards boundary conditions to induce shear flow.
Binary Hypothesis Testing via Measure Transformed Quasi Likelihood Ratio Test

description: In this paper, the Gaussian quasi likelihood ratio test (GQLRT) for non-Bayesian binary hypothesis testing is generalized by applying a transform to the probability distribution of the data. The proposed generalization, called measure-transformed GQLRT (MT-GQLRT), selects a Gaussian probability model that best empirically fits a transformed probability measure of the data. By judicious choice of the transform we show that, unlike the GQLRT, the proposed test is resilient to outliers and involves higher-order statistical moments leading to significant mitigation of the model mismatch effect on the decision performance. Under some mild regularity conditions we show that the MT-GQLRT is consistent and its corresponding test statistic is asymptotically normal. A data driven procedure for optimal selection of the measure transformation parameters is developed that maximizes an empirical estimate of the asymptotic power given a fixed empirical asymptotic size. A Bayesian extension of the proposed MT-GQLRT is also developed that is based on selection of a Gaussian probability model that best empirically fits a transformed conditional probability distribution of the data. In the Bayesian MT-GQLRT the threshold and the measure transformation parameters are selected via joint minimization of the empirical asymptotic Bayes risk. The non-Bayesian and Bayesian MT-GQLRTs are applied to signal detection and classification, in simulation examples that illustrate their advantages over the standard GQLRT and other robust alternatives.

description: The article highlights the problem of caries prevention in the adult population. It is emphasized that individual prevention of dental diseases contributes to the improvement of the public health, it is carried out through awareness of the role and importance of hygiene procedures and is aimed at eliminating the causes and conditions for the occurrence and development of diseases, and increasing the body's resistance to adverse environmental factors. The authors conducted a study that, in addition to carrying out preventive measures, took into account systemic diseases that directly affect the level of acidity of the oral fluid, as well as the patients’ residential occupancies. A complex of measures that registers the main cariogenic factors and predicts the occurrence of a carious process has been developed. The developed options of clinical examination allow tracing the patterns that occur in the surface layers of the enamel after therapeutic and preventive treatment and comparing the effectiveness of individual preventive measures in permanent dentition.
Wounds and Flames: Dido and Her Sisters

description: This paper explores how the symbolic use of the recurrent metaphors of the wound and the flame not only shapes Virgil’s story of Dido (and her book in the Aeneid) but also the history of the reception of the queen of Carthage. Virgil had subtly exploited these metaphors (and their ‘realisation’) to deftly allude to the pre-Virgilian Dido – and to Dido’s intertextual sisters. The way in which later poets and artists engage in acknowledging and representing this metaphorical play also defines their functional reading of Virgil’s poetry.

description: Lakes along the Great African Rift System from Ethiopia to Tanzania are at their highest levels in decades. The rising water poses multiple hazards including contamination, landslides, and flooding affecting millions of lives. In November 2020, authorities shared concerns of a potential overflowing of the Turkwel Gorge Dam due to excessive rains. The potential flooding could affect over 300,000 people in an area accustomed to droughts. This brief discusses how understanding rainfall variability can provide lessons for managing dams in drylands to improve water security for energy, agriculture, environmental and human needs.

Despite many children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) growing up in bilingual environments, only limited research currently exists investigating the impact of bilingualism on the language development of young children with ASD. Existing research has predominantly concluded that bilingual exposure is not detrimental to the language development of young children with ASD. The present research aimed to extend on the limited number of studies to date to determine the impact of parental bilingualism by using a combination of language and communication measures in young children with ASD who had either monolingual or bilingual exposure. The participants, aged 2 to 5 years, were 38 children with ASD; 20 monolingually-exposed and 18 bilingually-exposed. Children’s language and communication skills (in English and also in the parental native language for those with bilingual exposure) were assessed using standardised direct testing, parent report and direct observation of spontaneous speech and communication. Results revealed inconsistencies across measures in relation to English receptive vocabulary. Specifically, results from direct assessment suggested no differences between groups in English receptive language ability, while parent report measures suggested monolingual children to have larger receptive vocabularies than bilingually-exposed children. The groups were also found to differ significantly in relation to variables derived from the direct observation of spontaneous language and communication samples, including gesture use, mean length of utterance, and number of different words produced. Overall, monolingual children were found to have larger English expressive vocabularies, compared to the bilingually-exposed children. Only a small number of bilingually-exposed children were found to be successfully acquiring both English and their parental native languages, with the remainder demonstrating clearly dominant English language skills.

description: We present several new theorems concerning the first fundamental group of a path connected metric space. Among the results proven are strengthenings of the main theorems of \cite{Sh2} and \cite{CoCo}. A compactness theorem for the fundamental group of a Peano continuum is given. A useful characterization for the shape kernel of a locally path connected space is presented, along with a very succinct proof of the fact that for such a space the Spanier and shape kernel subgroups coincide (see \cite{BF}). We also show that a free decomposition of the fundamental group of a locally path connected Polish space cannot be nonconstructive. Numerous other results and examples illustrating the sharpness of our theorems are provided.

Based on the relative intensity between spectral components in quadrupolar perturbed ²³Na nuclear magnetic resonance, we present direct evidence of the coexistence of cubic and polar local symmetries in these relaxor ferroelectrics. In addition, we demonstrate how the cubic phase vanishes whenever a ferroelectric state is induced, either by field cooling or changing the dopant amount, supporting the relation between this cubic phase and the relaxor state.

The (Frustrated?) Regality of Electra
Creators: name: Avezzù, Guido
Publisher: name: Skenè. Journal of Theatre and Drama Studies
Year: 2020

description: The story of Electra, the ‘unwedded’ princess – alektros: ‘excluded from the marriage-bed (lektron)’ – is symptomatic of a sort of inversion of the dynastic schemes: she is not destined to ensure the continuation of her own or of any other dynasty, but to cherish the memory of her father. Yet, according to Pausanias (second century CE), she becomes the custodian of the sceptre that was the sign of Agamemnon’s kingship, an object that implies a complex symbolism, in the first place dynastic but also, in Sophocles’ Electra, sexual and generative. However, while the Sophoclean Electra was excluded from dynastic schemes, Aeschylus’ Choephori and Euripides’ Electra variously focused on the preservation of kingship and its transmission to the legitimate heir. In the earlier of these two tragedies Electra suggests, albeit indirectly, a vision of her role that does not fit in with the irrelevance to which she seems confined; but when we come to Euripides’ play we can actually see the failure of the dynastic expectations with which she burdens her brother. This essay will be concerned with Electra not so much as a mythical heroine but rather as a tragedic character, and will consider those elements not always in agreement with the most time-honoured conception of this character, or those that are at least considered problematic – elements which in the various ‘Oresteiai’ and particularly in Aeschylus’ and Euripides’ enable us to discern the distinguishing features of the various Electras and their expectations about the restoration of legitimate kingship.

Living with ambivalence: story and identity in the lives of adult children of immigrants

This thesis addresses how adult children of immigrants connect with their culture of origin when transnational ties have been weak or absent for most of their lives. Using the life stories of twenty female participants of various ethnic backgrounds, it foregrounds their changing perspectives over their life-cycle and provides a deeper understanding of the different ways children of immigrants connect and engage with their culture of origin over time. I focus on the experiences of women, including those explored through published autobiographies written by second-generation women in Australia. This thesis is also an autoethnography of my own experiences as a second-generation Turkish-Australian woman. Studies of the experiences of the children of immigrants have mainly focused on youth and intergenerational conflict, underemphasising their changing relationships and perspectives over the life-course. This thesis also goes beyond the typical analysis of transnationalism – as direct ties between sending and receiving countries among the first- and second-generation – and explores the nature of indirect and emotional ties to the homeland. It contributes to the growing literature aimed at addressing various ways adult children of immigrants connect with their parents’ culture of origin, by addressing the following questions: How does actively seeking family history and family stories impact on the lives of the second-generation? How do these stories affect the relationships between them and their parents? The findings show that, as adults, many children of immigrants actively seek out family histories and stories in order to connect with their culture of origin and their parents, and to pass this knowledge on to their own children. Most importantly, their motivation for seeking out stories is to locate themselves within their family story. This pursuit of stories leads them toward developing new perspectives about their culture, family and life in Australia, and encourages them to accept and live comfortably with their cultural ambivalence.

description: The paper highlights diagnostic and therapeutic options for glioblastoma. Glioblastoma is known to be a neuroepithelial malignant with an aggressive clinical course and extremely adverse prognosis. It is pointed out that contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the “gold standard” in glioblastoma diagnostics. Special attention is paid to radiomics that presents a multi-stage process involving image acquisition and pre-processing, segmentation, feature extraction and selection, and advanced statistics using machine learning algorithms. The aim of the study is to investigate objective numerical control options of pathological process dynamics and monitoring of the comprehensive glioblastoma treatment effectiveness in a particular patient according to the informative parameters of MR-images. Primary confirmation of objectifying diagnostic and treatment process in patient with glioblastoma according to the indicated statistical parameters of T2-weighted images was obtained. Further research should be aimed at the use of radiomics for planning, monitoring treatment of glioblastoma, predicting clinical outcomes.

The Queen on Stage. Female Figures of Regality in Aeschylus
Creators: name: Centanni, Monica
Publisher: name: Skenè. Journal of Theatre and Drama Studies
Year: 2020

description: The figure of the Queen is the protagonist of two Aeschylean tragedies: Persians and Oresteia. The staging of Persians, which took place in 472 BCE in Athens, probably caused shock among the Greek spectators of the tragedy at the Theatre of Dionysus, on the slopes of the Acropolis, and in particular among Athenians. In particular, the main character that stands out at the centre of the dramatic composition is the Queen: a mother that is anguished for the fate of her son Xerxes, justifying his errors and presenting him as a disturbed and neurotic being, striving to emulate his father, and moreover misled by bad companies that – the Mother says – have instigated him to perform the insane military campaign against Greece. The dramatic emphasis is on the royal figure of the Queen mother, on her care for the image of power, for the dignity of the king’s body, up to her concern for the integrity of the garment of her son Xerxes, torn after the defeat of Salamis. On the set of the early theatre, the second, superb, figure of royalty is Clytaemnestra. Before Aeschylus, the saga of Orestes, as we can reconstruct from literary and iconographic sources, was a traditional story, an epic saga in which the main characters were all male: Agamemnon, the king; Aegisthus, the tyrant; Orestes, the young hero who avenges the murder of the legitimate king – the king-father – and regains the throne. The tradition of this story is interrupted by Aeschylus’ dramaturgical invention. His new Oresteia does not focus on Orestes’ glorious enterprises. Its protagonist is now Clytaemnestra. She is the main character of the plot and is at the centre of the representation: alongside her, there is the usurper, her lover, Aegisthus. Echoing Ernst Kantorowicz’s seminal study The King’s Two Bodies, under the guise of the King, Clytaemnestra unveils her body: yet, hers is not the king’s double body – the natural king’s corpse doubled in a symbolic regal body – but a female one, the body of a mother, the body of the Queen. The male gendered epic – the saga – ends precisely at this turning point and incipit tragoedia. Keywords: Aeschylus’ Persians; Aeschylus’ Oresteia; Clytaemnestra; actors’ character

EDENTULISM TREATMENT

description: Treatment of edentulism has always been relevant, but the requirements for treatment techniques constantly grow. A few decades ago it was sufficient to compensate the defect of a missing tooth, currently it is necessary to perform prosthetics adequately, aesthetically, atraumatically and promptly. To solve all these problems, modern computer techniques are increasingly being used in dentistry nowadays. The use of 3D printers, intraoral scanners and new treatment options allows performing prosthetics in the area of a missing tooth on the day of extraction [1; 2]. Our study demonstrates that treatment of edentulism using tooth extraction and immediate dental implant technique has a number of advantages compared to the classical two-stage technology. In addition, the use of a 3D surgical navigation template significantly improves the accuracy of implant positioning, which leads to reduced complications.

description: High resolution molecular dynamics simulations with full Coulomb interactions of electrons are used to investigate field emission from a prolate spheroidal tip. The space charge limited current is several times lower than the current calculated with the Fowler-Nordheim formula. The image-charge is taken into account with a spherical approximation, which is good around the top of the tip, i.e. region where the current is generated.

“Fine Young Cannibals”

Publisher: name: Skenè. Journal of Theatre and Drama Studies

description: Consistently interesting and excellently articulated, this volume of essays entitled Eating Shakespeare will reward scholars of Shakespeare time and again, specifically those who consider expansive global Shakespeares and ways of traversing the problematic ‘centre’ and ‘periphery’ locales of Shakespearean performance. Fortunately, this form of critique also challenges the alleged divide between subaltern identity and more traditional, European forms of subjectivity. Most importantly, this collection of essays breaks new ground in ways to theorize, articulate, and put into practice innovative forms of Shakespearean appropriation using the notion of anthropophagy, or cannibalism, as a central metaphor. Whether one is a Shakespeare scholar, a theatre practitioner, a creative writer, or simply an anthropology enthusiast, this book contains enough nutrients to sustain multiple explorations not only from the alleged ‘periphery’ of Global Shakespeares but also productions closer to home in the ‘centre’ of Shakespeare studies. Keywords: Shakespeare; Cannibalist Manifesto; Oswald Andrade; Cultural Anthropophagy; subaltern identity; Global Shakespeare; Hamlet; Othello; Ophelia; Tribe Arts

Virtual photons in the ground state of a dissipative system

description: Much of the novel physics predicted to be observable in the ultrastrong light-matter coupling regime rests on the hybridisation between states with different numbers of excitations, leading to a population of virtual photons in the system's ground state. In this article, exploiting an exact diagonalization approach, we derive both analytical and numerical results for the population of virtual photons in presence of arbitrary losses. Specialising our results to the case of Lorentzian resonances we then show that the virtual photon population is only quantitatively affected by losses, even when those become the dominant energy scale. Our results demonstrate most of the ultrastrong-coupling phenomenology can be observed in loss-dominated systems which are not even in the standard strong coupling regime. We thus open the possibility to investigate ultrastrong-coupling physics to platforms that were previously considered unsuitable due to their large losses.

description: Most of the existing graph embedding methods focus on nodes, which aim to output a vector representation for each node in the graph such that two nodes being "close" on the graph are close too in the low-dimensional space. Despite the success of embedding individual nodes for graph analytics, we notice that an important concept of embedding communities (i.e., groups of nodes) is missing. Embedding communities is useful, not only for supporting various community-level applications, but also to help preserve community structure in graph embedding. In fact, we see community embedding as providing a higher-order proximity to define the node closeness, whereas most of the popular graph embedding methods focus on first-order and/or second-order proximities. To learn the community embedding, we hinge upon the insight that community embedding and node embedding reinforce with each other. As a result, we propose ComEmbed, the first community embedding method, which jointly optimizes the community embedding and node embedding together. We evaluate ComEmbed on real-world data sets. We show it outperforms the state-of-the-art baselines in both tasks of node classification and community prediction.

description: Introduction Stroke is the second-leading cause of death and disability globally. Participation in physical activity (PA) is a cornerstone of secondary prevention in stroke care. Given the heterogeneous nature of stroke, PA interventions that are adaptive to individual performance are recommended. Mobile health (mHealth) has been identified as a potential approach to supporting PA poststroke. To this end, we aim to use a Sequential Multiple Assignment Randomised Trial (SMART) design to develop an adaptive, user-informed mHealth intervention to improve PA poststroke.Methods and analysis The components included in the 12-week intervention are based on empirical evidence and behavioural change theory and will include treatments to increase participation in Structured Exercise and Lifestyle or a combination of both. 117 participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two treatment components. At 6 weeks postinitial randomisation, participants will be classified as responders or non-responders based on participants’ change in step count. Non-responders to the initial treatment will be randomly assigned to a different treatment allocation. The primary outcome will be PA (steps/day), feasibility and secondary clinical and cost outcomes will also be included. A SMART design will be used to evaluate the optimum adaptive PA intervention among community-dwelling, ambulatory people poststroke.Ethics and dissemination Ethical approval has been granted by the Health Service Executive Mid-Western Ethics Committee (REC Ref: 026/2022). The findings will be submitted for publication and presented at relevant national and international academic conferences.Trials registration number NCT05606770
