description: Background: Psychotropic substance use, for chemsex in particular, is common in gay or bisexual men (GBM) with HIV infection. This case-control study examined the association between Axis I psychiatric disorders and active psychotropic substance use, and identified factors affecting the prevalence of psychiatric disorders in HIV-infected GBM. Methods: Participants were 62 HIV-infected self-identified GBM who reported psychotropic substance use in the past 1 year (cases), and 55 HIV-infected self-identified GBM without psychotropic substance use in the past 1 year and had negative toxicology tests at recruitment (controls). The Chinese-bilingual Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV (Axis I, Patient version) was followed to establish the psychiatric diagnoses. Socio-demographic data, level of social support, HIV-related data, and pattern of psychotropic substance use were collected. Results: Cases had lower level of social support, more depressive disorders (AOR 3.4, 95% CI 1.3-8.7, p=0.01) and psychotic disorders (AOR 7.2, 95% CI 1.2-41, p=0.03) but not anxiety disorders. Significant difference in the prevalence of psychiatric disorders was only evident for disorders with onset after HIV diagnosis. Methamphetamine dependence, weekly methamphetamine use for 2 years or more, using methamphetamine beyond chemsex, duration of HIV diagnosis were significant predictors for psychiatric disorders in the cases. Conclusion: Active psychotropic substance use in HIV-infected gay or bisexual men was associated with an overall 3-fold increase in Axis I psychiatric disorders. Coordinated efforts from HIV, psychiatric and substance use services are needed to prevent harms arising from chemsex and to identify those in need and facilitate treatment access.

description: Il progetto di ricerca, muovendo dalla variazione funzionale dell?obbligazione solidale negli appalti ricavabile dalle modifiche all?art. 29, c. 2, legge Biagi, nel biennio 2012-2013 ed indirizzate ad un favore per i crediti della P.A., ne offre un inquadramento sistematico sulla base della nota classificazione tra property, liability ed inalienability rules, sostenendo che il credito contributivo sia coperto da una regola di propriet�, laddove quello retributivo lo sia da una di responsabilit�. In particolare, quest?ultima garantisce un assetto regolatorio in grado di soddisfare le esigenze dei titolari del diritto, senza che sia necessaria un?ulteriore revisione della disposizione, sia valorizzando la facolt� derogatoria della responsabilit� solidale retributiva riconosciuta dal predetto art. 29, c. 2, alle parti sociali, sia predisponendo uno strumento idoneo per tutelare i crediti dei lavoratori in modo pi� efficace rispetto a quanto la previsione di un processo di cognizione e di esecuzione assicurano. Nell?indagare i nodi ancora irrisolti in relazione all?efficacia regolatoria del fenomeno interpositorio, la tesi ricava dalle formulazioni di alcuni ordinamenti europei le soluzioni ivi adottate per disciplinare l?appalto, ma soprattutto coglie l?occasione del recente recepimento in Italia della direttiva 2014/67/UE per analizzare la disciplina nazionale alla luce dell?indirizzo preso dall?ordinamento comunitario, evidenziando le criticit� contenute sia nella direttiva 2014, sia nella direttiva 96/71/CE.

Providing children with every opportunity to develop their full potential is in the best interests of children, families, communities and society at large. Parents hold an instrumental role in the healthy development of their children and should therefore be well supported in their provision of environments and experiences that promote child development and wellbeing. Using a Grounded Theory framework, this study explored parents’ experiences of early parenthood with a focus on their engagement with parenting resources that encourage positive parenting practices and promote positive childhood outcomes. Thirty parents of 0-10 year olds were interviewed about their experiences of, and preparation for, parenthood. Participants made use of a variety of resources both pre- and post-birth, relying most heavily on the Internet, books and peers for parenting information. They were less inclined to value their own parents’ advice, but thought that professional services were helpful, though needing to offer greater support. The overwhelming message conveyed by participants was their lack of preparedness for parenthood, and the associated stress, anxiety and self-doubt after the birth of their first child. These findings were examined within a constructionist and critical social theory lens, which underscores practice and policy-based recommendations for connecting with new parents in ways that acknowledge the many and varied influences and pressures they felt. A continuum of parenting resourcing is outlined combined with a critically reflective practice framework for understanding the social context of parenting and related influences on parenting experiences. This form of skill development might help reduce parents’ feelings of anxiety, self-doubt and isolation, as well as improving childhood outcomes. Implications for antenatal preparation, community support programs, social policies, and the need for further research are discussed.

description: Bell's theorem states that some predictions of quantum mechanics cannot be reproduced by a local-realist theory. That conflict is expressed by Bell's inequality, which is usually derived under the assumption that there are no statistical correlations between the choices of measurement settings and anything else that can causally affect the measurement outcomes. In previous experiments, this "freedom of choice" was addressed by ensuring that selection of measurement settings via conventional "quantum random number generators" was space-like separated from the entangled particle creation. This, however, left open the possibility that an unknown cause affected both the setting choices and measurement outcomes as recently as mere microseconds before each experimental trial. Here we report on a new experimental test of Bell's inequality that, for the first time, uses distant astronomical sources as "cosmic setting generators." In our tests with polarization-entangled photons, measurement settings were chosen using real-time observations of Milky Way stars while simultaneously ensuring locality. Assuming fair sampling for all detected photons, and that each stellar photon's color was set at emission, we observe statistically significant $\gtrsim 7.31 σ$ and $\gtrsim 11.93 σ$ violations of Bell's inequality with estimated $p$-values of $ \lesssim 1.8 \times 10^{-13}$ and $\lesssim 4.0 \times 10^{-33}$, respectively, thereby pushing back by $\sim$600 years the most recent time by which any local-realist influences could have engineered the observed Bell violation.

description: This thesis interrogates how move-on powers and practices are connected to parallel structures of control such as crime prevention through environmental design (CPTED). The analysis illustrates how everyday exclusion is enacted by a range of authorities, not just criminal justice system actors and illuminates the impacts of these practices on targeted populations such as rough sleepers. The analysis brings together the social and spatial, and in so doing offers a new conceptualisation of exclusionary governance that is attentive to the cumulative impact of policing and design in reproducing marginalisation.

description: The superconducting proximity effect in semiconductor nanowires has recently enabled the study of new superconducting architectures, such as gate-tunable superconducting qubits and multiterminal Josephson junctions. As opposed to their metallic counterparts, the electron density in semiconductor nanosystems is tunable by external electrostatic gates providing a highly scalable and in-situ variation of the device properties. In addition, semiconductors with large $g$-factor and spin-orbit coupling have been shown to give rise to exotic phenomena in superconductivity, such as $φ_0$ Josephson junctions and the emergence of Majorana bound states. Here, we report microwave spectroscopy measurements that directly reveal the presence of Andreev bound states (ABS) in ballistic semiconductor channels. We show that the measured ABS spectra are the result of transport channels with gate-tunable, high transmission probabilities up to $0.9$, which is required for gate-tunable Andreev qubits and beneficial for braiding schemes of Majorana states. For the first time, we detect excitations of a spin-split pair of ABS and observe symmetry-broken ABS, a direct consequence of the spin-orbit coupling in the semiconductor.

THE STUDY OF THE DISSOLVED NITROGEN CONTAINING MACROMOLECULES IN THE MARINE ENVIRONMENT
Creators: name: CHAPMAN, JASMIN
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 1988

description: A method was developed for the direct determination of the dissolved combined amino acid (DCAA) content of seawater involving the acid hydrolysis of seawater under specified conditions, followed by the determination of the amino acids by reverse phase liquid chromatography (RPLC). No preconcentration or co-precipitation steps were required. Under optimal conditions approximately sixty percent of the total amino acids in the macromolecular fraction are probably recoverable by this procedure. The commonly used reflux method for DCAA detection was shown to be inaccurate due to a combination of degradative losses and contamination. The technique of DCAA determination, developed in this study, was not suitable for estuarine or other waters containing high nitrate levels, due to the occurrence of oxidative losses. The seasonal relationship between the dissolved combined and the dissolved free amino acid levels and compositions , both at surface and at depth in the coastal waters of Plymouth UK, were studied .
Synthesis, Structural Elucidation, DNA-PK, PI3K and Antiplatelet Activity of 2-Morpholino-Substituted Chromeno-, Benzo- and Naphtho- 1,3-Oxazin-4-ones

description: Submission note: A thesis submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy to the Department of Pharmacy & Applied Science, College of Science, Health and Engineering, La Trobe University, Bendigo.

This thesis has been divided up into nine chapters relating to key areas of synthesis and the biological evaluations. Chapter 1 provides an introduction to chromen-2-ones, benzoxain-4-ones and naphtho-1,3- oxazines in addition to the structurally similar chromen-4-ones. This gives an overview of their development via various synthetic approaches and discusses the key areas relating to their biological activity. Overall this information is then utilised to give a context for the investigation and to justify its place in the scientific literature. Chapter 2 discusses the synthesis of a series chromene-2-one carboxylic acids as well as several bromo- substituted salicylic acids and naphthoic acids. Chapter 3 discusses the synthesis of a series of 2-thioxo-chromeno-1,3-oxazines from chromene2-one carboxylic acids and PPh3(SCN)2. Additionally, the preparation of several novel bromo-2- thioxo-1,3-benzoxazin-4-ones and bromo-naphtho-1,3-oxazines are discussed. Furthermore, this chapter also serves to further examine PPh3(SCN)2 as a reagent for the synthesis of 2-thioxo-1,3- oxazine compounds. Chapters 4 and 5 present the reaction details of the thioxo-1,3-oxazine compounds with morpholine and the subsequent reactions to produce 7- and 7,8-O-subsituted derivatives. The main highlight of Chapter 4 is the development of a one-pot in situ procedure for the reaction of thioxo-1,3-oxazine compounds with morpholine via their intermediary 2-methylsulfanyl analogues. Chapter 6 discusses the development of a general procedure for the Suzuki coupling reaction of arylboronic acids with bromo-substituted 2-morpholino benzo- and naphtho- 1,3-oxazines. These compounds are important analogues of the chromen-4-one compounds that inhibit DNA-PK, PI3K and platelet aggregation. Chapter 7 presents the DNA-PK, PI3K, antiplatelet and antibacterial biological assays results for the newly synthesized compounds. The observed biological activity for the 8-substiuted targets was exceptionally comparable to the chromen-4-one inhibitors. While the 6-aryl-1,3-benzoxazin- XIII 4-ones, 6-, 8- and 10-aryl-naphtho-1,3-oxazines displayed low inhibition activity against DNAPK and PI3K. All of the chromeno compounds tested failed to inhibit in vitro bacterial proliferation. Chapter 8 concludes this investigation by summarising the main points and presenting possible future investigations arising from this work. Chapter 9 presents the experimental details of all synthesized compounds in addition to the general procedures that were developed for both their synthesis and biological evaluations.

description: Background: Although exposure to potentially traumatic events (PTEs) for Black and Latinx may be comparable or lower than their White counterparts, type of trauma experiences differ such as more interpersonal trauma and violence reported by Black people, who also experience higher rates of PTSD. In this retrospective study, we examined the association between use of particular substances and various PTEs and the race/ethnicity-group differences for this association. Methods: One-hundred seventy-nine participants recruited from an outpatient substance use disorder program from February 2018 to October 2020 completed measures on lifetime trauma history and current/past cocaine, cannabis, and alcohol misuse. Bayesian generalized linear modeling with horseshoe prior was used to predict substance misuse using 17 PTEs, then PTEs were ranked and examined by racial/ethnic group. Results: No PTEs were associated with substance misuse across all four r/e groups. Transportation accident, natural disaster, war exposure, and other stressful events were associated with substance misuse across two or three r/e groups. Notably, the three PTEs involving interpersonal violence in our study (weapon assault, physical assault, and sexual assault) were only associated with substance misuse (posterior probability ≥70%) for Latinx participants. Conclusion: The relational nature of interpersonal/violent traumas may make them particularly salient for Latinx people where interpersonal relationships are prioritized. These types of traumas may also be viewed as an extension of discrimination and exclusion, two longstanding, intractable issues for people of color in the US, making them even more damaging. Furthermore, lack of resources may limit options for coping, resulting in substance use problems.

description: Line-of-sight integrals of the squared density, commonly called the J-factor, are essential for inferring dark matter annihilation signals. The J-factors of dark matter-dominated dwarf spheroidal satellite galaxies (dSphs) have typically been derived using Bayesian techniques, which for small data samples implies that a choice of priors constitutes a non-negligible systematic uncertainty. Here we report the development of a new fully frequentist approach to construct the profile likelihood of the J-factor. Using stellar kinematic data from several classical and ultra-faint dSphs, we derive the maximum likelihood value for the J-factor and its confidence intervals. We validate this method, in particular its bias and coverage, using simulated data from the Gaia Challenge. We find that the method possesses good statistical properties. The J-factors and their uncertainties are generally in good agreement with the Bayesian-derived values, with the largest deviations restricted to the systems with the smallest kinematic datasets. We discuss improvements, extensions, and future applications of this technique.

description: Service robots are complex software-intensive systems that have to fulfill a diversity of tasks in open-ended environments. In order to deal with their software complexity, one should gain from the latest software systems engineering principles and tools suchthat various experts and stakeholders can smoothly interact and collaborate.One of the recent trends in service robotics is the use of Model-Driven Software Development (MDSD) approaches and the creation ofdedicated Domain-Specific Languages (DSLs) for isolated problems. However, we argue that approaches addressing the overall integration challenge (i.e. systematic composition) are underrepresentedand underestimated and that DSLs need to be combined and integrated in order to realize a step change in robotics softwaredevelopment. We propose the SmartMDSD Toolchain v2 as an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for robotics software development in itsthird major generation. It combines a set of DSLs and tools in one IDE that guides the stakeholders through the robotics developmentworkflow and makes concepts and methods gained trough many years of experience accessible to its users. We report on a consistentview on the overall development process and its full support in an IDE. We give details on the integration of specific DSLs (textualand graphical). Finally, we conclude with lessons learned during six years of experience with developing tools, methods and DSLs forsoftware development for service robots.

description: In 1989 Supplee described an apparent relativistic paradox on which a submarine seems to sink to observers at rest within the ocean, but it rather seems to float in the submarine proper frame. In this letter, we show that the paradox arises from a misuse of the Archimedes principle in the relativistic case. Considering first the special relativity, we show that any relativistic force field can be written in the Lorentz form, so that it can always be decomposed into a \emph{static} (electric-like) and a \emph{dynamic} (magnetic-like) part. These gravitomagnetic effects provide a relativistic formulation of Archimedes principle, from which the paradox is explained. Besides, if the curved spacetime on the vicinity of the Earth is taken into account, we show that the gravitational force exerted by Earth on a moving body must increase with the speed of the body. The submarine paradox is then analyzed again with this speed-dependent gravitational force.

Although the literature on transfer of training (TOT) has increased and led to the identification of organizational environmental influences on the TOT, most of the cited research has used samples from the United States. There are very few studies using samples from developing countries. In order to address this concern, a study was conducted in eight different manufacturing Vietnamese State-owned enterprises (SOEs) to acquire a better understanding of a number of both environment and organizational factors that may significantly impact the transfer of technical training (TTT). A mixed methods research design was adopted through the use of both a case study method and a questionnaire survey to examine several aspects in relation to activities of TTT in these eight selected SOEs. Qualitative data from employer/training director interviews in the selected SOEs were used to identify external factors influencing effective transfer of technical training (ETTT). Additionally, insights gained from questionnaire surveys of 185 employees in these SOEs were used to further identify the organizational factors most strongly associated with ETTT. The findings of the manager interview data indicated that three key national environment factors (economic, educational and legal) impacted significantly on the process of TTT at the enterprise level. Employee survey data revealed links between organizational factors (e.g., individual characteristics, training design and work environment) and ETTT. Further, the findings from this study are evidence to suggest some major changes for improving the ETTT in Vietnamese SOEs, although more study is needed to clearly specify the contextual boundaries of external and internal environment impacts on TTT at the organizational level.

High quality X-ray projection images are necessary to investigate the mechanisms of intergranular corrosion in Aluminium alloys that are commonly used in the field of aeronautics. The quality of the measured projection image depends on the elements of the X-ray imaging system, including the geometry, source and the detector. In this thesis, we aim to investigate the quality in terms of spatial resolution and visibility of the sample features. To do this, we present a model of an indirect X-ray imaging system that includes the source, diffraction effects, experimental geometry, model samples, a detailed representation of the imaging detector, and noise effects. We validated the model of the detector with measurements obtained using synchrotron radiation and a polychromatic source. The model of the indirect imaging system was also validated using a polychromatic source for a test pattern and a model sample that hardens the X-ray beam. The validated model was used to predict the loss of visibility of sample features for different imaging setups, source spectra and signal-tonoise ratios. It was also used to obtain an accurate point spread function (PSF) for the imaging system and a given X-ray source spectra that includes all X-ray energy dependent processes in the detector and beam hardening due to the sample. Deconvolution of the PSF from the simulated and measured projection image demonstrated significant improvement in the visibility of the features. Finally, an improvement in the quality of the measured projection image of a real-world sample shows how deconvolving the model PSF of the imaging system can be used to enhance the study of intergranular corrosion of Al alloys.

description: This research project explores the outcomes Pauline Oliveros’ (1932¬2016) Deep Listening Pieces (1971–1990) provide classically trained woodwind instrumentalists who engage with them by way of a two-part case study. The works were engaged as performative meditations, preludes and interludes in recital scenarios in order to discover if they influenced learning and performing outcomes for the performer. The Deep Listening Pieces were also engaged to examine tertiary-level classical woodwind instrumentalists with the aim of understanding what outcomes engagement with the Deep Listening pieces might offer other musicians.

description: Questa tesi si propone come una rilettura dell'opera filosofica di Georges Bataille alla luce delle grandi emergenze ecologiche del nostro tempo e a partire dal problema della divisione tra natura e cultura. Negli ultimi vent'anni, l'opera di Georges Bataille ha incontrato un rinnovato interesse in alcune branche della filosofia e delle scienze sociali che riflettono sulla categoria dell'Antropocene e sulle forme del tardo capitalismo, a metà strada tra incubo climatico e tecno-premetismo. Il fascino di questo pensiero dipende dalle risonanze che esso riesce a stabilire con alcuni dei nodi politici e teorici più attuali: la critica e il superamento dell'antropocentrismo, la modellizzazione degli scambi tra ambiente ed esseri umani, la convivenza con le catastrofi. Il nostro lavoro evidenzia il dispiegamento di una catena di dualismi (continuo e discontinuo, interno ed esterno, eterogeneo e omogeneo) che intersezionano la divisione tra natura e cultura, creando un inedito spazio di incontro tra un certo ricorso al naturalismo e un pensiero dell’animazione. Le fonti scientifiche, antropologiche e filosofiche di quest’opera sono analizzate in profondità per farne emergere le consonanze con i temi più attuali della filosofia ambientale contemporanea. Interpretando i dualismi bataillani come il dispiegamento di un pensiero della biforcazione ontologica e cosmologica della modernità, ne esploriamo le possibili implicazioni per una riflessione ecologica all'altezza della congiuntura presente.
Research priorities for traumatic spinal cord injury: contributions to improved quality of life and participation for those living with a spinal cord injury

Spinal cord injury (SCI) caused by traumatic events can have a devastating impact on the function and quality of life (QoL) of an individual. SCI results in a significant financial cost to the community and represents a growing burden of disease. As resources for SCI research are limited and to ensure that resources are directed towards areas of greatest need, it is important to consider research priorities both of the researcher themselves and of individuals with SCI. With improved understanding of these priorities we can better ensure that research conducted is more relevant, more likely to translate into better care and more likely to lead to improvements in quality of life and participation for individuals with SCI. But what are the current research priorities for SCI? And how well do they reflect the needs of people with SCI? The aims of the present study were to investigate the relevance and appropriateness of current priorities for SCI research, in terms of potential for improving an individual's quality of life and participation within the community setting for the near future. This descriptive, cross-sectional study used two novel questionnaires, designed by the study investigator. As part of this survey the participants were asked to rate 42 research areas in regards to likelihood of leading to improvements in QoL and participation for the near future. These 20-minute questionnaires were distributed in the form of self-administered online surveys. Survey 1 was distributed to SCI researchers via SCI research organisations. Survey 2 was distributed to SCI consumers (i.e., individuals with SCI) via SCI advocacy and support organisations. A total of 48 responses were completed for Survey 1 and 94 responses for Survey 2. Overall, there was much consensus between the priorities of the SCI researchers and those of the SCI consumers. The most highly prioritised research themes by both groups were: Bladder and Bowel, Muscle and Joint, Mobility, and, the Spinal Cord and its related Structures. An important research priority mismatch was identified, pertaining to the research themes: Sex, Skin, and, Health Services, Systems and Policies. In order to improve the relevance of SCI research, the priorities of the SCI population must be better known and taken into account.

description: The diameter of the apparent horizon, defined by the distance between furthest points on the horizon, in spacetimes with a positive cosmological constant $\varLambda$ has been investigated. It is established that the diameter of the apparent horizon on the totally umbilic partial Cauchy surface cannot exceed $2π/\sqrt{3\varLambda}$. Then, it is argued that arbitrarily long black strings cannot be formed in our universe.

Deixis and Mind-Style in Japanese–English Literary Translation: Translating Kashimada Maki’s “Meido Meguri” and “Kyū-jū-kyū no Seppun”

description: This thesis examines how the psychological states of the lead characters of two novellas by Japanese author Kashimada Maki, “Touring the Land of the Dead” and “Ninety-Nine Kisses”, are reflected in the literary style of the texts. It identifies how these characters’ senses of trauma and obsession are largely depicted through the use of grammatical contrasts that have no direct equivalent in the English language. As such, it develops a set of strategies for use in Japanese–English translation to compensate for these linguistic differences and to find alternative ways of representing how characters view themselves and the world around them.
