description: This study presents the results of research on the feasibility of using non-compact titanium alloys for manufacturing intervertebral systems (cages) of the cervical spine. It is demonstrated that powder metallurgy technology allows for achieving an elastic modulus of the material close to human cortical bone while maintaining sufficient structural strength. A finite element method (FEM) analysis was performed to compare the stress-strain state of cages made from non-compact titanium alloy and those with an internal architecture obtained by 3D printing. It was found that at a compaction pressure of approximately 200 MPa, the elastic modulus of non-compact titanium alloy blanks is 25–30 GPa, with a porosity of 27–30%. Compared to implants made of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) and titanium structures with internal architecture, the developed material ensures a similar stress and strain distribution pattern, with a difference not exceeding 10–15%. The proposed approach offers advantages such as the absence of negative effects on the human body, an elastic modulus approximating that of bone tissue, and lower production costs compared to alternative technologies.

Subjects: classificationCode: 350704
subject: Entrepreneurship

description: This study investigates the experiences of Chinese business migrants in Australia by using a framework that combines entrepreneurship, total capital theory and mixed embeddedness theoretical models. The research aims to identify the common barriers that Chinese business migrants encounter, the opportunities available to them and the approaches they use to best integrate into Australia’s business and social domains. The study draws on a triangulation of qualitative research methods, including semi-structured interviews with 25 participants in Phase 1, eight case studies in Phase 2, and nine individual Chinese business migrants spread over three focus groups in Phase 3. The study finds that Chinese business migrants in Australia face several challenges when establishing businesses, including language barriers, cultural differences, lack of knowledge about Australian laws and regulations, difficulties in accessing finance and discrimination. These barriers make it difficult for them to integrate into the Australian business and social domains. Despite these challenges, Chinese business migrants have found ways to embed themselves in the Australian society and economy through their active entrepreneurial practices. They use their accumulated economic and social capital from their home country to sustain their migrant entrepreneurship. Meanwhile, the social embedding of this group of entrepreneurs depends mainly on the extent to which they acquire and use social networks. Furthermore, it's imperative to acknowledge the apparent gap in the Australian government's active role in facilitating the settlement and integration of these business migrants. Overall, the findings of this study have direct relevance for the development of Australian business migration policy.
Literacy practices Victorian primary school Year 5/6 teachers use to support the development of disciplinary literacies of science

description: This thesis investigates Year 5/6 Victorian Australian primary teachers’ understanding of the disciplinary literacies of science and the disciplinary literacies of science practices used in their classrooms when teaching science. The literacies of a discipline provide specialised ways of understanding the knowledge of a discipline in-depth. Literacy is integral to learning science; for students to learn science, they need to move beyond the more general literacies used across disciplines and understand and use the academic literacies of science. Year 5/6, the beginning of the middle years of schooling in Victoria, is a critical time for teachers to understand the importance of teaching disciplinary literacies of science.

This research study used a Qualitative paradigm and a Constructivist Inquiry process. The research employed a Case Study design that included multiple data-gathering methods. The researcher was a non-participant observer in four Victorian primary school Year 5/6 classrooms. Data from principal and teacher interviews, student focus groups, classroom observations and documents, and teacher and student artefacts were gathered and analysed to inform the discussion of the demands facing teachers in Year 5/6 primary classrooms in relation to their understandings of, and practices in, disciplinary literacies of science. These multiple data-gathering methods enabled the development of detailed descriptions of the participants' engagement with disciplinary literacies in these settings.

This research explored how these Year 5/6 classroom teachers supported student learning of disciplinary literacies of science and built a picture of how these teachers responded to the learning and teaching of science in these classrooms. This enabled the development of detailed descriptions of the participants’ engagement with disciplinary literacies of science, their understanding of disciplinary literacies, and the practices they used in their classrooms. The study found that these teachers understood that students used general and specialised literacies to investigate and engage in science. Embedding these literacies within a constructivist, inquiry-based approach, they explicitly engaged students in using disciplinary literacies of science practices when learning science.

These research results add knowledge to the understanding that disciplinary literacies of science practices enhance teaching and learning practices in Year 5/6 primary school classrooms.

description: High-throughput “omics” technologies are widely used and increasingly important to support plant biology research and breeding of diverse plant species for production of food, feed, fibre and other biomaterials, and bio-energy. Significant advances in plant science can be obtained from the integration of available genomic and genotyping data with diverse types of phenotyping data, including field or greenhouse experimental data, molecular, -omics and image data. Although most -omics data, and especially phenomic data, are being generated in increasing scale, either from public or private research institutes, the dispersion of datasets and metadata among multiple repositories and their often poor description and annotation, make their use and exploitation still challenging or even unapproachable.

To help unlocking the full potential of a multi-omics approach to plant science, the overarching goal of this workpackage is to make plant data interoperable in accordance with the FAIR principles (i.e. Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Re-usable). Hence, several standards have been built these past years for the annotation of data sets, and the Elixir plant community is coautoring most of them. Their use has been demonstrated by exemplary application to data from diverse species published in public repositories.

Building from this previous work (Deliverable 7.1) we have now implemented anarchitecture for supporting access to distributed datasets annotated according to the developed standards. This architecture uses the Breeding API (BrAPI, www.brapi.org ), an API for accessing data relevant for plant breeding developed by the international plant community.

We have implemented 7 API endpoints over datasets held at the several ELIXIR nodes participating in the Plants Use Case, thereby publicly exposing these datasets and making them accessible and contributing for their interoperability and re-use. We further contributed to the evolution of BrAPI specification by working on the alignment with the MIAPPE ( www.miappe.org ) standard for plant phenotypic data, based on the experience with our exemplar data sets, and the needs of the Use Case. This work represents an important intermediate step towards the full implementation of an ELIXIR Plant Data Lookup Service currently under development.

description: International students are a significant component of the increasingly global mobility of people, technologies, and goods. As an important part of global education economies and networks, the growth of international student populations highlights the ways in which mobility, technology, and identity transition are entwined. In 2016, Southeast Asian international students represented 24.8% of the total international student population in the higher education sector, and international students made up nearly one-fourth (26.8%) of all higher education students in Australia. This phenomenon is indicative of the changing mobilities in the Asian region¿especially in terms of economic, social and technological shifts that, in turn, are informing new class aspirations in, and through, media practice. It is these emergent mobilities that this dissertation seeks to understand through the guiding research question: What role does digital media technology play in the aspirations and practice of well-being among Southeast Asian international students in Melbourne, Australia?

 This dissertation documents and analyses how international students from Southeast Asia incorporate digital media technologies in their pursuit of a better life while studying in Australia. Drawing from qualitative methods deployed in the field for two years (2014-2016), the research seeks to make an original contribution to how Southeast Asian international students are conceptualised in Australia. It highlights the need to incorporate the complex, dynamic, and divergent ways in which Southeast Asian international students represent broader regional movements in and around the interlinking of economic, cultural, and technological elements of mobility as they pursue their aspirations.

To understand the complex and dynamic ways media practices are involved in aspirational well-being, this dissertation, Aspirational Well-Being and Digital Media (hereinafter AWDM), deploys an interdisciplinary approach that includes media, culture, education, and migration studies to provide a nuanced and qualitative view of the topic. AWDM seeks to move beyond statistical studies of students' media usage and student well-being. It also seeks to move towards an in-depth analysis of the underlying motivations informing students' media practices and aspirations.

description: Background

The benefit of physical activity (PA) for increasing longevity is well-established, however, the impact of diurnal timing of PA on mortality remains poorly understood. We aimed to derive circadian PA patterns and investigate their associations with all-cause mortality.
Methods

We used 24 h PA time series from 96,351 UK Biobank participants aged between 42 and 79 years at accelerometry in 2013–2015. Functional principal component analysis (fPCA) was applied to obtain circadian PA patterns. Using multivariable Cox proportional hazard models, we related the loading scores of these fPCs to estimate risk of mortality.
Results

During 6.9 years of follow-up, 2,850 deaths occurred. Four distinct fPCs accounted for 96% of the variation of the accelerometry data. Using a loading score of zero (i.e., average overall PA during the day) as the reference, a fPC1 score of + 2 (high overall PA) was inversely associated with mortality (Hazard ratio, HR = 0.91; 95% CI: 0.84–0.99), whereas a score of -2 (low overall PA) was associated with higher mortality (1.69; 95% CI: 1.57–1.81; p for non-linearity < 0.001). Significant inverse linear associations with mortality were observed for engaging in midday PA instead of early and late PA (fPC3) (HR for a 1-unit increase 0.88; 95% CI: 0.83–0.93). In contrast, midday and nocturnal PA instead of early and evening PA (fPC4) were positively associated with mortality (HR for a 1-unit increase 1.16; 95% CI: 1.08–1.25).
Conclusion

Our results suggest that it is less important during which daytime hours one is active but rather, to engage in some level of elevated PA for longevity.
The accommodation challenges of international students
Creators: name: Duangpracha, Kornkanok
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: In recent years, the number of international students has grown sharply in Australian higher education institutions; and trade in education services has brought substantial benefits to Australia. International students make a significant contribution to their host universities and to society as a whole.

 Although studying abroad offers benefits to international students, leaving their home country and achieving a degree in another language also carries with it a range of difficulties, including those associated with finding suitable accommodation.

 This research explores (and seeks to explain) the ways in which international students attempt to manage the various accommodation challenges that they face. The primary research question addressed by this research is:

In what ways does the interplay between self-leadership, self-efficacy and university provided support; help to explain the differences between those international students who effectively manage the challenges of accommodation and those who do not?

 The thinking behind that research question is that perhaps those who cope more effectively are more self-responsible, autonomous and capable social agents (as Neoliberalism suggests). Alternatively, it could be that international students, when it comes to accommodation, find themselves in situations where what matters primarily is not their capacity for self-responsibility, but is instead the availability of external resources such as finance, or social support, or accurate and comprehensive information (as Welfarism suggests). Or rather than seeing the Neoliberal and the Welfarist characterizations of international students as two sides of a competing dualism, it could be that both internal and external resources matter, and there is an interplay between those resources – an interplay that can be understood and used to explain differences in how effectively individual students manage the challenges of accommodation.
Novel robust computer vision algorithms for micro autonomous systems

description: People detection and tracking are an essential component of many autonomous platforms, interactive systems and intelligent vehicles used in various search and rescues operations and similar humanitarian applications. Currently, researchers are focusing on the use of vision sensors such as cameras due to their advantages over other sensor types. Cameras are information rich, relatively inexpensive and easily available. Additionally, 3D information is obtained from stereo vision, or by triangulating over several frames in monocular configurations. Another method to obtain 3D data is by using RGB-D sensors (e.g. Kinect) that provide both image and depth data. This method is becoming more attractive over the past few years due to its affordable price and availability for researchers.

The aim of this research was to find robust multi-target detection and tracking algorithms for Micro Autonomous Systems (MAS) that incorporate the use of the RGB-D sensor. Contributions include the discovery of novel robust computer vision algorithms. It proposed a new framework for human body detection, from video file, to detect a single person adapted from Viola and Jones framework. The 2D Multi Targets Detection and Tracking (MTDT) algorithm applied the Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) to reduce noise in the pre-processing stage. Blob analysis was used to detect targets, and Kalman filter was used to track targets. The 3D MTDT extends beyond 2D with the use of depth data from the RGB-D sensor in the pre-processing stage. Bayesian model was employed to provide multiple cues. It includes detection of the upper body, face, skin colour, motion and shape. Kalman filter proved for speed and robustness of the track management. Simultaneous Localisation and Mapping (SLAM) fusing with 3D information was investigated. The new framework introduced front end and back end processing.

 The front end consists of localisation steps, post refinement and loop closing system. The back-end focus on the post-graph optimisation to eliminate errors.The proposed computer vision algorithms proved for better speed and robustness. The frameworks produced impressive results. New algorithms can be used to improve performances in real time applications including surveillance, vision navigation, environmental perception and vision-based control system on MAS.

Two Approaches To Beating Data Bottlenecks In Weather And Climate Science

Year: 2018
Subjects: exascale

description: The data volumes produced by simulation and observation are large, and becoming larger. In the case of simulation, plans for future modelling programmes require complicated orchestration of data, and anticipate large user communities.  "Download and work at home" is no longer practical for many applications.  In the case of simulation these issues are exacerbated by users who want simulation data at grid point resolution instead of at the resolution resolved by the mathematics, and who design numerical experiments without knowledge of the storage costs.

There is no simple solution to these problems: user education, smarter compression, and better use of tiered storage and smarter workflows are all necessary - but far from sufficient. In this presentation we introduce two approaches to addressing (some) of these data bottlenecks: dedicated data analysis platforms, and smarter storage software.  We provide a brief introduction to the JASMIN data storage and analysis facility, and some of the storage tools and approaches being developed by the ESIWACE project.  In doing so, we describe some of our observations of real world data handling problems at scale, from the generic performance of file systems to the difficulty of optimising both volume stored and performance of workflows.   We use these examples to motivate the two-pronged approach of smarter hardware and smarter software - but recognise that data bottlenecks may yet limit the aspirations of our science.

description: Two main contrasting approaches are used in the entrepreneurship literature to explain how new ventures strategize: causal/planned strategies and effectual/emergent strategies. In this study, we explore the use of these strategies within micro and small firms. Our results show that larger companies typically used more planned strategies while simultaneously relying on effectual mechanisms. We observe that companies operating in known markets, anchoring their business ideas on experience and having a strong growth intention grow larger. This suggests that causal and effectual mechanisms can co-exist and lead to growth when combined. Theoretical and practical implications of these findings are discussed.

description: The genus of Lonicera is the largest genus of Caprifoliaceae family. This study revealed the composition, antioxidant, and antibacterial actions of essential oils of Lonicera caprifolium L. in different areas of Iran; Qom, Mashhad, Shiraz. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry examination was applied to recognise the oil conformation. The essential oils of Qom included a high number of monoterpenes, with linalool as the significant constituent. In the essential oil of Mashhad, the main elements were methyl linoleate. The essential oil of Shiraz displayed a similar profile, including a large quantity of fatty acid, with methyl palmitate as the main component. The antioxidant activity was assessed via the DPPH exam, and the antimicrobial action was verified using the broth microdilution procedure. The essential oils of Qom revealed the maximum antimicrobial and antioxidant actions between the three regions, ascribed to its high concentration of monoterpenes and phenolic composites. Moreover, principal component analysis (PCA) and heat map successfully revealed the variation and correlation between metabolites of the three oils. These conclusions highlight the potential of L. caprifolium as natural foundations of antimicrobial and antioxidant representatives, with investigation required to reveal their therapeutic requests.

The literature is consistent on the negative effects linked to low birth weight, preterm weight, birth defects, abnormal fetal growth and development, sudden infant death syndrome, obesity, neurodevelopmental and behavioral developments, hypertension, asthma, and type 2 diabetes. This review further discuses maternal smoking with a lens of role of socio-economic status, geographic variational and determinants like ethnicity, education, employment, and age. The paper calls for early intervention and provides recommendation to buildstrategies and policies aiming to minimize maternal smoking effects and enhancing child development and human capital.

description: This thesis examines a range of perovskite solar cell materials using electron microscopes. Protocols are developed to limit the damaging effects of the high-energy electron beams, and as a result, previously unseen crystallographic properties are described. These are correlated with the overall solar cell performance, showing that a perfect cubic crystal structure with no ordered defects provides the best solar cell performance in the materials studied.

description: Anti-Trypanosoma cruzi activity of compounds from fruits of Schinus terebinthifolius Raddi (pink pepper) were evaluated, using sustainable techniques such as steam distillation (SD) and supercritical fluid extraction (SFE). SD was optimised using a design of experiment and SFE was carried out using supercritical CO2 solvent (300 bar and 60 °C). Results of the anti-T. cruzi activity showed that the essential oil presented high activity (IC50 = 4.5 ± 0.3 μg/mL), whereas the supercritical extract had a moderate effect (IC50 = 19.7 ± 2.9 μg/mL). The differences in the anti-T. cruzi activity can be attributed to the extraction of non-volatile compounds in the SFE, such as moronic and (Z)-masticadienoic acids. In contrast, SD extracted only volatile compounds such as monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes. Therefore, these results suggest that the volatile compounds from pink pepper are involved with the anti-T. cruzi activity.

description: Sexual racism is linked to poor life and health outcomes for overseas-born Asian-born MSM. However, we do not fully understand many of these associations. This thesis develops current understandings of sexual racism by looking at its long-term impacts and individual responses to it. It also engages with the broader question of how intimate racism figures into more ‘mainstream’ forms of racial discrimination.

description: Obesity in children is recognized as an ongoing public health issue. Childhood Obesity also correlates with other health complications, such as increased risk for high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, orthopedic issues, sleep apnea and fatty liver). Causes of obesity are complex with many contributing social factors. Obese children suffer from higher rates of poor self-image, low self-esteem, social discrimination, as well as have an increased risk for social isolation and depression Evidence suggests that medical and psychological conditions acquired during childhood can progress throughout adulthood. The Socio-Economic Status (SES) and the development of childhood obesity should be prioritized as high concern. This research paper provides recommended solutions such as, governmental mandates and policies to promote education and awareness for social economic contributing factors towards childhood obesity that will increase improvements for unfavorable diseases/conditions.

description: Light pollution is a globally recognized problem that, like other forms of anthropogenic pollution, severely affects ecosystems and has adverse effects on human health. Since the 1970s, Artificial Light at Night (ALAN) has become a significant concern for the astronomical community, as the inadequate and inefficient use of illumination has diminished the capacity of observatories to observe the Universe. In Chile, this issue is particularly critical, as it is estimated that by 2030, the country will host approximately 70% of the world’s astronomical research. Therefore, it is crucial to characterize and monitor both natural and artificial sources responsible for the brightness of the night sky.

In this contribution, we present measurements made with the Sky Quality Camera and a spectrograph from sites selected for their astronomical, naturalistic, and touristic value in northern Chile. These data contribute to understanding the evolution of ALAN and serve as a tool to preserve dark skies, which are a cultural and scientific heritage of great importance for all humanity.

Designing in transition: towards intimacy in ecological uncertainty

subject: Design anthropology

subject: Interaction and experience design

description: This PhD traces my attempts to re-orient my design practice from visual communication design to a more expanded participatory practice that supports intimacy in ecological uncertainty. At the inception of this research I was deeply unsettled by the global ecological crisis and searching for a way to respond through design. I joined a small fledgling community called The Weekly Service, that was exploring what it means to be human in these times of transition through storytelling and curatorial practices. After two years of close collaboration with community members and a core team, I developed a deeply relational practice concerned with emergent social processes. However, rather than focus on the outcome of this transition (the expanded participatory practice), this research attempts to reveal the messy, and sometimes painful, process of transition, or what I refer to as designing in transition.

Many agree that design is an important vehicle for catalysing and supporting transition towards more sustainable futures (see for example Escobar 2018, Fry 2012, Irwin 2015, Manzini 2015b). Transition towards more sustainable futures necessitates different ways of designing and new postures and mindsets (du Plessis 2015, Irwin 2015). Increasingly, it is being argued that this requires the ontological reorientation of design and designers towards more relationally attuned ways of being-knowing-&-doing (Akama 2015, Escobar 2018, Fry 2012, Irwin 2015, Light et al. 2017). This research contributes to these emerging discussions, by elucidating my own experience of how ontological transitions are lived in practice.

Over the course of two years, I developed a practice-orientated methodology for documenting and analysing transitions. This methodology draws on an amalgamation of Participatory Design and Design Anthropology approaches, which enabled me to travel along with others as we attempted to cultivate communal intimacy or relational ways of being-knowing-&-doing. Through written and drawn accounts I highlight how transition is an embodied, emotional and affective experience, that emerges through the relationships that we form with others, the things we make together, and the manner in which we travel together. In doing so, I suggest that these transitional times call for a greater recognition of how designers might adapt or develop methods that could enable and reveal the ontological transitions underway in their own practice. I offer this in the hope that it might also support others who are just starting their own journey towards redirecting / expanding their practice.
