description: This study estimated the “process utilities” of treatment options for patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) in Japan using the time trade-off (TTO) method. Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell immunotherapy is available for patients with RRMM who are triple-class exposed (TCE) after treatment with immunomodulatory agents, proteasome inhibitors, and anti-CD38 monoclonal antibodies. However, the impact of available treatment options on health state utilities has not been well characterized, particularly in relation to process utilities. Eight vignettes of health states and daily activity restrictions related to each of the following RRMM therapies were prepared: no treatment, CAR T cell therapy with idecabtagene vicleucel (ide-cel), regular intravenous infusion, and oral administration. A face-to-face survey of healthy Japanese adults who were representative of the general population was conducted. The TTO method was used to evaluate each vignette and to generate utility scores for each treatment regimen. Three hundred and nineteen respondents participated in the survey (mean age: 44 years [range: 20–64]; female: 50%). Utility scores for no treatment, ide-cel, oral pomalidomide, and dexamethasone (Pd) therapy ranged from ∼0.7 to 0.8. Utility scores for regular intravenous infusion regimens ranged from 0.50 to 0.56. There was a difference of ∼0.2 between the utility scores for no treatment/ide-cel/oral administration and regular intravenous infusions. Differences in treatment administration across RRMM therapies showed a substantial impact on health state utilities. When quantifying the value of treatments, process utility gains should be considered as an independent factor in health technology assessments.

description: Sputtering of PbTe crystals by Ar plasma with ion energies 50-550 eV is investigated. A dependence of sputter yields of the Te and Pb on the sputtering ion energy and sputtering time is measured. New phenomena: aperiodical oscillations of Pb and Te sputtering; a huge preference of Te sputtering reaching more than two orders of magnitude at the beginning of sputtering process; and a significant excess of Te integrated sputter yield over that of Pb for prolonged sputtering by low energy plasma at 50-160 eV, are observed. It is substantiated that these phenomena can be caused by the peculiarities of the charge states of the interstitial Pb and Te in PbTe crystal matrix and the processes of re-deposition of sputtered atoms on the sputtered surface
Remote electromagnetic energy (EME) power logging

description: Today we take connectivity for granted, particularly in first world countries like ours. When using devices to connect to a vast network for everyday communication, we are generally unaware of the policies and procedures that are required for implementation. Electromagnetic energy (EME) exposure is something that is an underlying necessity for wireless connectivity. This has become increasingly important in the telecommunications industry when assessing exclusion zones for public health as new technologies (3G, 4G, 5G) will make it considerably harder to comply with regulatory standards. Currently, regulatory standards are based on precautionary methodology, which is restrictive as it relies on theory. The precautionary methodology is limiting to resources, productivity and efficiency. This project aims to show that by using readily available devices, a real-world problem can be solved by collecting accurate data from mobile base stations to find out the real exposure values. This will be achieved by accurately measuring the EME levels produced on site over a period of time. This data will enable us to detect the worst case scenario and provide vital information for more effective designs that meet the regulatory requirements. As the standards allow the six-minute sliding average to be taken, this can then be correlated to traffic from the site so that we in the future will be able to map the exclusion zones more accurately. The profile will provide a complete picture of exposure and traffic that defines the category of the site as either high or normal. Currently, exclusion zones don't account for actual beam tilts using a broad range of 0 to 10 degress for implementing boundary zones. Therefore, the current methodology is a one size fits all approach for all sites, as opposed to the tailored approach proposed by this research. By measuring using real-time logging, Optus will be able to see if this is viable and set an example for change in the industry once proven and verified by the National Association of Testing Authorities (NATA).

description: Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) predominantly rely on General Matrix Multiply (GEMM) kernels, which are often accelerated using specialized hardware architectures. Recently, analog photonic GEMM accelerators have emerged as a promising alternative, offering vastly superior speed and energy efficiency compared to traditional electronic accelerators. However, these photonic cannot support wider than 4-bit integer operands due to their inherent trade-offs between analog dynamic range and parallelism. This is often inadequate for DNN training as at least 8-bit wide operands are deemed necessary to prevent significant accuracy drops. To address these limitations, we introduce a scalable photonic GEMM accelerator named SPOGA. SPOGA utilizes enhanced features such as analog summation of homodyne optical signals and in-transduction positional weighting of operands. By employing an extended optical-analog dataflow that minimizes overheads associated with bit-sliced integer arithmetic, SPOGA supports byte-size integer GEMM kernels, achieving significant improvements in throughput, latency, and energy efficiency. Specifically, SPOGA demonstrates up to 14.4$\times$, 2$\times$, and 28.5$\times$ improvements in frames-per-second (FPS), FPS/Watt, and FPS/Watt/mm$^2$ respectively, compared to existing state-of-the-art photonic solutions.

description: Through secondary analyses of data obtained from the Transition and Postsecondary Programs for Students with Intellectual Disabilities (TPSID) National Coordinating Center database of model demonstration sites in Florida, this study examined components of inclusive postsecondary education programs for students with intellectual disabilities correlated with employment upon program exit. Inclusive coursework was found to have the strongest correlation with the post-school outcome of paid, competitive employment upon exit. This component aligns with the predictors of post-school success for students with disabilities (Mazzotti et al., 2016) and predictors of employment for people with intellectual disabilities (Southward & Kyzar, 2017). Areas of agreement are discussed as well as implications for stakeholders and suggestions for future research.

description: Oxygen and carbon are important elements in stellar populations. Their behavior refers to the formation history of the stellar populations. C and O abundances would also obviously influence stellar opacities and the overall metal abundance $Z$. With observed high-quality spectroscopic properties, we construct stellar models with C and O elements, to give more accurate ages for 70 metal-poor dwarfs, which have been determined to be high-$α$ halo, low-$α$ halo and thick-disk stars. Our results show that high-$α$ halo stars are relatively older than low-$α$ halo stars by around 2.0 Gyr. The thick-disk population has an age range between the two halo populations. The age distribution profiles indicate that high-$α$ halo and low-$α$ halo stars match the in situ accretion simulation by Zolotov et al., and the thick-disk stars might be formed in a relatively quiescent and long-lasting process. We also note that stellar ages are very sensitive to O abundance, since the ages clearly increase with increasing [O/Fe] values. Additionally, we obtain several stars with peculiar ages, including 2 young thick-disk stars and 12 stars older than the universe age.

description: With growing opportunity for students with intellectual and developmental disability to access a variety of inclusive higher education programs comes an increased need for program implementers to evaluate practices and outcomes alongside participants. This mixed method, exploratory study examines self-determined goal setting, goal attainment, and quality of life within an inclusive college program as a measure of participant outcome and program evaluation. Furthermore, it provides implications for the importance of self-determined learning and participant voice within program planning, revision, and implementation.

description: Dalbavancin is an antibiotic with activity against gram-positive bacteria that allows early discharge of patients requiring intravenous therapy. Outpatient treatment helps offset hospitalisation costs associated with standard intravenous treatment. Our objective was to assess the cost of disease management, including treatment with dalbavancin, in a Spanish hospital for 1 year, and the hypothetical costs associated with treatment with other therapeutic alternatives to dalbavancin. A single-centre, observational, retrospective post-hoc analysis was conducted based on electronic medical records analysing all patients who received dalbavancin treatment for 1 year; cost analysis was performed for the whole process. In addition, three scenarios designed on the basis of real clinical practice by clinical experts were hypothesised: (i) individual therapeutic alternative to dalbavancin, (ii) all patients treated with daptomycin, and (iii) all days of dalbavancin as outpatient treatment transformed into hospital stay. Costs were obtained from the hospital. Thirty-four patients were treated with dalbavancin; their mean age was 57.9 years, and 70.6% were men. The main reasons for dalbavancin use were outpatient management (61.7%, n = 21) and ensuring treatment adherence (26.5%, n = 9). The main indications were: osteoarticular infection (32.4%) and infective endocarditis (29.4%). One-half (50%) of the infections were due to Staphylococcus aureus (23.5% were methicillin resistant). All patients achieved clinical resolution, and no costs associated with dalbavancin-associated adverse events or re-admissions were reported. The mean total cost of treatment was 22,738€per patient, with the greatest expenditures in interventions (8,413€) and hospital stay (6,885€). The mean cost of dalbavancin treatment was 3,936€; without dalbavancin, this cost could have been increased to 3,324–11,038€depending on the scenario, mainly due to hospital stays. Limited sample size obtained from a single centre. The economic impact of the management of these infections is high. The cost of dalbavancin is offset by the decreased length of stay.

description: The upgrade to the High Luminosity Large Hadron Collider will pose unprecedented challenges to the tracking systems of all experiments. Recent advancement of active pixel detectors designed in CMOS processes provide attractive alternatives to the well-established hybrid design using passive sensors. This article presents studies with a high-voltage CMOS active pixel sensor designed for the ATLAS tracker upgrade. The sensor is glued to the read-out chip of the Insertable B-Layer. The device under test is structured in smaller pixels than those of the attached read-out chip with information on the hit CMOS pixel encoded in the output signal (subpixel encoding). Test beam measurements mapping recorded hits in the read-out chip to CMOS pixels, thus validating the subpixel encoding, are described.

description: Poor social skills is a leading factor why individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) lose their jobs. Fortunately, the use of technology has made learning and teaching social skills more seamless and integrated in employment contexts.  We conducted a multiple-probe-across-participants single-case experimental design study to evaluate the effects of video-based instruction on the employment-related social behaviors of three college students with IDD enrolled in a comprehensive transition program at a large public university. Results indicated small to moderate effect sizes for all three students. Participants found the intervention to be helpful in improving their employment readiness skills. We discuss implications for research and practical ways technology can be used to support college students with IDD to strengthen their employment-related social behaviors.

Prevalence of a growth mindset among introductory astronomy students

description: While many previous studies have indicated that encouraging a growth mindset can improve student learning outcomes, this conclusion's applicability to college-level astronomy classrooms remains poorly understood owing to the variation in students' overall and domain-specific learning attitudes. To address this, we surveyed undergraduate students in an introductory astronomy class about their attitudes towards learning astronomy over the course of five semesters. Overall, students felt an affinity for astronomy, felt moderately competent, perceived astronomy to be intermediate in terms of difficulty, and agreed strongly with standard statements reflecting a "growth mindset," i.e., the belief that intelligence is malleable rather than fixed from birth. Their responses were stable over the course of the semester and did not appear to depend strongly on student demographics. The unexpected start of the COVID-19 pandemic and the associated shift to all-virtual learning correlated with a drop in their affinity for astronomy, a small decrease in their perceived competence, and an increase in the perceived difficulty of the topic. Their overall learning mindset showed negligible change during this time, emphasizing the stability of their belief in a growth mindset as compared to other measured learning attitudes. However, more nuanced questions about their behaviors and interpretations in the classroom, about how they felt "in the moment", and about what factors were most important for their success in the class revealed significantly lower alignment with a growth mindset. This suggests that while introductory astronomy students may believe that they have a growth mindset, this mindset is not necessarily reflected in their self-reported classroom behaviors or measured responses to actual learning challenges.

description: Zn-Al-Mg coatings are characterized by a complex microstructure with dendritic and eutectic phases. This heterogeneous phase distribution contributes to multiple deformation and damage mechanisms. The presence of brittle phases promotes crack initiation and propagation. This study reveals a new deformation and damage mechanism of a Zn-Al-Mg coating, where twinning can induce crack initiation in the eutectic region. The chronology of different events leading to crack initiation and propagation is clearly established by in-situ tensile testing in a scanning electron microscope, which helps to establish a detailed characterization of the mechanical behavior of the coating.

"Romancing the corpse": an examination of the representations of zombies in young adult paranormal romance

Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Zombies have long been understood by critical theorists as representing social anxieties and problems - including colonialism, war and capitalism. A stable identifiable figure since Romero's Of the dead series, recent romantic texts have positioned the zombie as a sympathetic lover. This thesis asks two main questions about this shift in the genre and representation. Firstly, how does the zombie in young adult fiction represent ideology and identity; secondly, is this new representation an opportunity to stage a broader understanding of diversity?This thesis seeks to understand the change in the zombie from monster to romantic hero. Romancing the Corpse will focus on four central texts which foreground the zombie as romantic partner: I Kissed A Zombie and I Liked It by Adam Selzer, Warm Bodies by Isaac Marion, Dearly Departed by Lia Habel and Generation Dead by Daniel Waters. Firstly, the zombie in young adult paranormal romance is argued as representing the non-citizen, using Agamben's work on bare life and the state of exception. Using literary analysis, it will then examine how the trope of the zombie has changed with the move in genre from horror to romance. Finally, the thesis interrogates the implications of these works' engagement with civil rights and social justice questions through the figure of the zombie, also drawing on audience research approaches.
How Inclusive is Inclusive Postsecondary Education?

description: Inclusive postsecondary education (IPSE) programs provide new opportunities for individuals with intellectual disabilities (ID). Despite advances, prior research has found that postsecondary education access is inequitable, and therefore it is necessary to evaluate whether advances in IPSE programs have benefitted all individuals with ID. An analysis was conducted utilizing the Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) 2018 Case Service Report (RSA-911) to determine the over- or under-representation of minoritized students in the population of individuals with ID pursuing postsecondary education. Results indicated that while women, Asian and American Indian students were significantly over-represented, Black or African American students were under-represented. In addition, students from low socio-economic backgrounds, homeless students, and foster care students were all significantly under-represented. Implications for research, policy and practice are provided based on these results.

description: How can we turn an invaded space into a free space? Our project focused on investigating the areas of Loiu (the town where our school is located) where the invasive species of Pampas Grass, Cortadería Selloana, grow. Following the initial investigation we indicated on a paper map where these species can be found. In order to do this, we learned how to use maps, scales, locate our position, and locate the species in the mountains. Later, we investigated how to eradicate them. For this purpose, we studied the previous studies carried out by the University of the Basque Country and the work carried out by the Provincial Council of Bizkaia, eradicating the species in some specific areas of the province. Finally, we presented a dossier in the town hall. Then, the consistory informed the neighbours about how they should deal with this species, and a treatment in public areas has been undertaken. The work of our students promoted a campaign that will benefit our village.
Colourful conservation: genetic incompability and conservation genetics in the wild Gouldian finch (Erythrura gouldiae)
Creators: name: Bolton, Peri

description: The distinct behavioural and physiological strategies associated with colour morphs can influence population dynamics, where antagonistic interactions and hybrid incompatibilities may be detrimental. Therefore, the covariation between colour and other traits will be relevant to species conservation, but the negative implications have never been explored. Molecular genetic tools allow the measurement of selection on functional genotypes, and place it in the wider context of effective population size (Ne) and gene flow. The Gouldian finch (Erythrura gouldiae) is an Australian threatened species, and sympatric head colour morphs associated with distinct strategies. Experiments on domesticated Gouldian finches have shown that interbreeding between morphs leads to significant offspring mortality, which may be detrimental to population recovery. This species has been embroiled in recent controversy regarding its conservation status as there are no robust estimates of population size or movement capacity across its vast and remote range. In this thesis, I use population genetic techniques using microsatelites, mitochondrial DNA and SNPs to quantify Ne and gene flow across the contemporary range, and a novel allele-specific test for head-colour to determine the extent of incompatibility in the wild. Guided by predictions derived from the experiments on domesticated birds, I do not find any evidence of incompatibility, or strategies to avoid it. Furthermore, population genetic evidence suggests the contemporary range supports a single genetically cohesive population, and suggests individuals are able to move vast distances (>700km). The contemporary Ne is likely large, but there is still uncertainty in these estimates due to the dearth of fundamental knowledge of this species' life-history. Together, this work suggests that incompatibility is unlikely to be a threatening process in the wild, and has identified key knowledge gaps that currently hinder effective conservation management of the Gouldian finch.

description: In the research environment, informal urban development has traditionally been studied in the cities of the Global South. However, in the Eastern European context informal urban development differs as land use regulation goes through the process of post-socialist transformation. Krasnodar is one of the biggest and fastest growing cities in Russia where informal construction practices and bottom-up approaches in spatial redevelopment are widely spread despite the strict regulation of housing construction and precise tools for identification of informality. Present work is a step towards the discovery of this phenomenon. In the spotlight we put the exploration of inner synergetic inconsistency of legal relations, connecting economic, institutional, demographic, and sociopolitical context to understand the contradiction between formal and informal urban life. The research methods include spatial and regulatory documents analyses, in-depth interviews with different collective actors (city administration, activists, experts in urban development, locals living in informal). The core of the research relates to the machinery of the conflict behind the legalization process. Findings of this work illustrate a number of reasons behind the spread of informal settlements in Krasnodar and their role in urban development. While administrative power does not seek compromise with locals and migrants, the mistrust of others embodies itself as unguided and spontaneous urban development.

description: The chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy idecabtagene vicleucel (ide-cel) is approved for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) who have already received an immunomodulatory agent, a proteasome inhibitor, and an anti-CD38 antibody and have progressed on their last therapy. The objective of this study was to assess the cost-effectiveness of ide-cel versus conventional care in Canada and France. A partitioned survival model was used to estimate the cost-effectiveness of ide-cel (target dose 450 × 106 CAR T cells) in its approved indication in terms of life-years (LYs), quality-adjusted LYs (QALYs), and costs. Patient-level data from the KarMMa Phase II clinical trial (clinicaltrials.gov NCT03361748) and KarMMa-RW study were used to inform the model; overall and progression-free survival were extrapolated using standard parametric functions after the observed periods. The model adopted Canadian and French societal perspectives over a lifetime horizon. Costs, utilities, discounting (Canada: 1.5%, France: 2.5%), and general population mortality were country-specific. The base case demonstrated that ide-cel was associated with more additional LYs (+2.64 and +2.51) and QALYs (+2.31 and +2.54) than conventional care at incremental costs of CAN$588,490 and €392,251 in Canada and France, respectively. The resulting incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) for ide-cel was $255,245 per QALY in Canada, and €154,593 per QALY in France. Ide-cel was associated with significant survival improvements in terms of both LYs and QALYs in patients with progressive triple-class-exposed RRMM. The ICER for ide-cel was similar to that of other approved and reimbursed RRMM therapies.

description: The popularity of Arabic language courses has increased in recent years. While most research studies the importance of communicative competence in teaching the Arabic language as a foreign language. However, communicative competence as a part of Arabic courses in universities' syllabi had not previously been investigated. This thesis investigates how Australian universities construct and frame the teaching of communicative competence in their Arabic language courses. The study analyses four communicative competence-based Arabic courses offered by well-known Australian universities (Australian National University, University of Sydney, Western Sydney University and University of Adelaide). The analysis was performed by evaluating the course guides available on the universities' websites supplemented by information provided by course coordinators/convenors in response to queries about information unavailable in the guides. Even though the examined universities show a high degree of variation in presenting the course details to prospective students, all courses aimed at teaching the Arabic language embed the teaching of cultural context, which indicates the importance of intercultural communicative competence in language learning. This study not only adds to the literature concerning teaching AFL in universities in Australia but also contributes to a better understanding of the significance of the focus on the teaching of communicative competence. Moreover, the study raises awareness of the significance of communicative competence in teaching Arabic; therefore, course convenors and instructors are advised to take it into account when designing Arabic language curricula.

description: For patients with cartilage defects of the knee, a new biocompatible and in situ cross-linkable albumin-hyaluronan-based hydrogel has been developed for matrix-associated autologous chondrocyte implantation (M-ACI) – NOVOCART Inject plus (Ninject; TETEC AG, Reutlingen, Germany). We aimed to estimate the potential cost-effectiveness of NInject, that is not available on the market, yet compared to spheroids of human autologous matrix-associated chondrocytes (Spherox; CO.DON GmbH, Leipzig, Germany) and microfracture. An early Markov model was developed to estimate the cost-effectiveness in the United Kingdom (UK) from the payer perspective. Transition probabilities, response rates, utility values and costs were derived from literature. Since NInject has not yet been launched and no prices are available, its costs were assumed equal to those of Spherox. Cycle length was set at one year and the time horizon chosen was notional patients’ remaining lifetime. Model robustness was evaluated with deterministic and probabilistic sensitivity analyses (DSA; PSA) and value of information analysis (VOIA). The Markov model was built using TreeAge Pro Healthcare. NInject was cost-effective compared to microfracture (ICER: ₤5,147) while Spherox was extendedly dominated. In sensitivity analyses, the ICER exceeded conventional WTP threshold of ₤20,000 only when the utility value after successful first treatment with NInject was decreased by 20% (ICER: ₤69,620). PSA corroborated the cost-effectiveness findings of NInject, compared to both alternatives, with probabilities of 60% of NInject undercutting the aforementioned WTP threshold and being the most cost-effective alternative. The VOIA revealed that obtaining additional evidence on the new technology will likely not be cost-effective for the UK National Health Service. This early Markov model showed that NInject is cost-effective for the treatment of articular cartilage defects in the knee, compared to Spherox and microfracture. However, as the final price of NInject has yet to be determined, the cost-effectiveness analysis performed in this study is provisional, assuming equal prices for NInject and Spherox.

description: Dielectric resonators are employed to build state-of-the-art low-noise and high- stability oscillators operating at room and cryogenic temperatures. A resonator temperature coefficient of frequency is one criterion of performance. This paper reports on predictions and measurements of this temperature coefficient of frequency for three types of cylindrically-symmetric Bragg resonators operated at microwave frequencies. At room temperature, microwave Bragg resonators have the best potential to reach extremely high Q-factors. Research has been conducted over the last decade on modeling, optimizing and realizing such high Q-factor devices for applications such as filtering, sensing, and frequency metrology. We present an optimized design, which has a temperature sensitivity 2 to 4 times less than current whispering gallery mode resonators without using temperature compensating techniques and about 30% less than other existing Bragg resonators. Also, the performance of a new generation single-layered Bragg resonators, based on a hybrid-Bragg-mode, is reported with a sensitivity of about -12ppm/K at 295K. For a single reflector resonator, it achieves a similar level of performance as a double-Bragg-reflector resonator but with a more compact structure and performs six times better than whispering-gallery-mode resonators. The hybrid resonator promises to deliver a new generation of high-sensitivity sensors and high-stability room-temperature oscillators.

In the shadow of the palms: plant-human relations among Marind-Anim, West Papua

description: This thesis explores how indigenous Marind-Anim in Merauke District (West Papua) conceptualize and engage with the socio-environmental impacts of oil palm expansion. Drawing from post-humanist theories, I analyze how oil palm reconfigures the lifeworld of Marind through its effects on the landscape, on time, on Marinds' relations to plants and animals, and on Marinds' dreams. I demonstrate that widespread speculation among my interlocutors over the attributes and effects of oil palm stems from the fact that the plant itself is seen (and feared) as a willful and destructive actant. Yet many Marind also pity oil palm for its subjection to human exploitation, and express great curiosity about the origins, needs, and dispositions of this introduced plant-being. Giving center stage to plants as 'lethal capital' and their ambivalent relations to humans thus challenges us to rethink capitalism and violence beyond the human. It also highlights the need to attend to 'post-humanism' as a plural rather than singular category of being - one that is alternately embraced and eschewed by communities themselves treated as sub-human and killable within entrenched and emergent colonial, capitalist, and techno-scientific assemblages. Chapters 1 and 2 explore the effects of monocrop plantations and other state and corporate nodes of control on the landscape and its cartographic representation. Chapters 3 and 4 investigate how Marind become anim (human) through their bodily relations to other organisms, and how oil palm violates inter-species dynamics by transforming wild and native lifeforms into domesticated and alien beings. Chapters 5 and 6 examine the Marind practice of 'going to know' sago and its stories, and the contrasts Marind identify between sago and oil palm within an affectively and politically charged moral-vegetal spectrum. Chapter 7 explores the temporal rupture wrought by oil palm in light of Marind concepts of mythical and historical time. Finally, Chapter 8 attends to dysphoric dreams of oil palm possession through which Marind reflect imaginatively and collectively on their changing worlds and ways of being.
