description: The learning initiative described in this paper looks at how the adoption of various technology applications can be used to optimize teaching and learning in an engineering materials science subject across a variety of engineering disciplines. The main driver for adopting this approach was to increase the effectiveness of delivery of the subject matter. Practical examples are given of delivery strategies, activities, and assessment protocols. This teaching approach required the development and implementation of an integrated technology and web-based teaching strategy (LMS) for the provision of online lectures; audiovisual material; discovery based learning activities; and communication tools for the guidance of students in the self-management of their personal learning styles. The implementation of such an online initiative was considered novel, and led to an encouraging response from both students and staff. This was seen as pivotal in its contribution to the success of the overall learning strategy.

description: Geert Wilders' Freedom Party stands a fair chance of becoming the largest party after the elections next week. His political programme is blurry at best, but parts of it - such as a ban of the Quran - are clearly unconstitutional. Will the constitutional system in the Netherlands be robust enough to withstand this challenge?

description: This study aimed at testing the efficiency of a droplet-vitrification cryopreservation protocol in eliminating selected grapevine viruses. The cryopreservation protocol led to approximately 50 % recovery with cultivar 'Portan' and five international cultivars tested, but very low recovery was noted with Croatian cultivars. GFLV and GLRaV-3, two (economically important grapevine) viruses were eliminated in a high percentage (up to 100 %) of plants regenerated from cryopreserved shoot tips. Virus sanitation was observed as well in samples before liquid nitrogen exposure. Genetic stability of plants regenerated after cryopreservation was studied using AFLP markers. Polymorphic fragments were observed in non-cryopreserved and cryopreserved samples treated with PVS2 solution, the number of which increased with increasing durations of exposure to PVS2 solution.

description: Experimental data about 3D arrangements and building modes of cyclodextrin (CD) tubes are scarce, though investigations of such assemblies are particularly interesting for a vast array of applications related to organic tubes in general. Opting for a theoretical approach, we studied the organisation of CD tubes by three schemes: a structural examination of geometries from the Cambridge Structural Database, simulated annealing studies based on classical force fields to evaluate the stability of tubular arrangements, and an incremental construction procedure of the tubes by molecular dynamics. For β-CDs, the investigations pointed to a head-to-head configuration, while γ-CDs favoured a head-to-head+tail-to-head triplet. The position and interactions of water molecules inside the obtained tubular arrangements were studied as well. Various complexes for diphenylpolyenes and styrene included in the β- and γ-CDs tubes were considered and compared based on structural, energetic and dynamic criteria.

description: Factors affecting successful establishment in vitro, rapid proliferation, rooting and acclimatization of grapevine seedless cultivation 'Parvana' were studied. A treatment combination of 2.0 % calcium hypochlorite for 7 minutes plus 70 % ethanol for 3 minutes was found to be effective with 75.0 % of aseptic culture establishment in vitro. The highest number of new microshoots (4.5) was obtained in a culture medium (Gambourg's B5 modification) supplemented with 0.6 mg∙L-1 BAP + 0.2 mg∙L-1 KIN + 0.5 mg∙L-1 GA3. Presence of GA3 in combination with BAP and KIN promoted elongation of shoots. A concentration of 0.4 mg/l IAA in half strength of MS (Murashige and Skoog) proved to be the best for rooting (84.4 % root induction, 4.66 roots with 7.9 cm length). In vitro rooted plantlets were successfully acclimatized, with 82.2 % survival rate in plastic pots containing garden soil, sand and peat moss(1:1:1). In this study an efficient micro propagation technique of grapevine seedless cultivar 'Parvana' was successfully achieved through lateral bud culture. Such a technique would be useful for large scale plant production and in vitro conservation.

description: You could hear a different inflection of that sound elsewhere on the street, in the form of a pervasive, inscrutable geometry. You know, that weird band without a name, signalled by three arrows that no one knew how to say. But the attitude was clear enough. To speak without naming is to transcend the limitations of personality, to become the medium, the thing itself. It spoke of a suburban avant-gardism, a will to embody the familiar, and in so doing mutate and disrupt it. They deliberately misheard tradition, vamping older styles in a contemporary idiom, channeling differences like so many blues changes wrenched into unexpected juxtapositions. This was popular music as subversive pleasure. Those who follow Australian art, music or film will have come across Philip Brophy. Over the last thirty-plus years, the Melbourne polymath has produced important work in all three scenes. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, he led the group Tsk-tsk-tsk, which operated on the art/music fringe, generating performances, records, videos and writings. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, he was the filmmaker obsessed with body fluids, directing Salt, Saliva, Sperm and Sweat and Body Melt. In the 2000s, he was a new-media artist (making The Body Malleable), a manga/anime maven (making Vox and curating Tezuka: The Marvel of Manga) and a sound designer (composing soundtracks for films, his own and others'). Despite their variety, Brophy's projects are underpinned by three connected lines of enquiry: music/pop, body/sex, and sound/image.

description: Two different grape cultivars are grown in Georgia under the name 'Aladasturi', one in the West and one in the East part of the Country. Investigation of ampelographic and ampelometric parameters and nuclear microsatellite markers demonstrated, that the cultivar from West Georgia is the real Georgian autochthonous wine and table grape cultivar 'Aladasturi', while the cultivar from East Georgia is the table grape cultivar 'Moldova' with high resistance to downy mildew, obtained in the Republic of Moldova in the 1960s. This cultivar was probably introduced to Georgia in the period of 1970-1980s. Similarity of berry and bunch characteristics of 'Moldova' and 'Aladasturi' might be the reason for creation of homonymy, respectively misnaming. The homonymous 'Aladasturi' finally turned out to be a misnomer.

description: Grapevines denominated 'Refošk', 'Refosco', 'Teran' and 'Terrano have been cultivated in the area of western Slovenia, north-western Croatia and north-eastern Italy for centuries. Despite historical documents reporting the longstanding tradition of grapevine cultivation and winemaking, the denomination and origin of these varieties is still questionable. The aims of this work were to study the genetic identity and relationship of the grapevine accessions denominated 'Refošk', 'Refosco', 'Teran' and 'Teranno' that have been traditionally cultivated in Slovenia, Croatia and Italy. For this purpose, 9 SSR loci were analysed to fingerprint 53 accessions with denominations or similar true-to-type morphologies of 'Refošk' and 'Teran'. The grapevine variety 'Refošk' cultivated in Slovenia and most accessions denominated 'Teran' in Croatia showed identical genotypes in all analysed SSR markers, and can therefore be used as synonyms. Five accessions showed identical genotypes to 'Refosco dal peduncolo rosso' variety, however five other genotyped accessions suggested individual profiles, and can be characterized as clonal mutants of true-to-type 'Refošk'/'Teran'. Accessions 'Sladki Teran' and 'Ref5/31' shared 56 % and 61 % of the alleles with true-to-type profiles of 'Refošk'/'Teran' and their parentage analysis strongly suggested a full-siblings relationship. Obtained results contribute to the understanding of the genetic diversity of grapevine varieties cultivated in this part of Europe.

description: A series of novel 12-alkoxyiminothiopentadecanlactones were synthesized starting from 2-nitrocyclododecanone by Michael addition to acrolein, followed by selective reduction of the aldehyde group, conversion of hydroxyl group to mercapto group, ring expansion, Nef reaction and finally reaction with alkoxyamines. Their structures were confirmed by 1H NMR, 13C NMR spectra and mass spectrometry. The Z and E isomers of some of the title compounds were separated by column chromatography and their configurations were determined by 1H NMR. These compounds showed excellent fungicidal activity against P. asparagi and are better than the commercial fungicide chlorothalonil. The results indicated that replacing an oxygen atom or NH group by sulfur atom may be an effective approach to improve the fungicidal activity or change the fungicidal spectrum of macrolactones and macrolactams.

description: The use of Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) markers allows genetic identification and parentage analysis of grapevine cultivars. Ancient cultivars like 'Hebén' were widely cultivated in the Iberian Peninsula along its history and likely contributed to the origin of varieties which are still cultivated today. The goal of our study was to search for possible first-degree relationships between the female variety 'Hebén' and other Iberian and Mediterranean cultivars. For this purpose, we used a set of 261 SNP markers which allowed identifying 23 trios and 37 parent-offspring relationships supported by high overall likelihood ratios (LOD scores). The results shed light on the relationships among several cultivars from Spain and Portugal, and demonstrated that 'Hebén' is a major founder of current varieties in the Iberian Peninsula viticulture, and contributed to spread the chlorotype A in this region.

title: What is justice for the LGBTQ+ person in the Catholic school in Scotland? A Capabilities approach
Creators: name: McGill, Robert
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2024

description: In 2018 The Scottish Government accepted all 33 recommendations of the LGBTQI Working Group set up to explore issues of LGBTQ+ inclusion in Scottish schools. This new move to LGBTQ+ visibility and presence is to be across all school stages, across the curriculum and supported by regulation and inspection bodies. However, it sits within an education system that has within the recent past been subject to legislation, such as Section 28, that prohibited LGBTQ+ presence in schools and in a wider society that has seen some protest against LGBTQ+ inclusion in schools. This new policy and approach therefore raises key questions about the possibility and potential of inclusion. In a Scottish context, this is particularly apt as a significant number of state schools are denominationally Catholic. The Catholic Church has in the past been powerful and vocal in the discourses of exclusion for LGBTQ+ persons and curriculum content in Scottish schools. I argue, that through a clearer understanding and articulation of justice, employing the core ideas of Nussbaum’s Capabilities Approach, the discussion of LGBTQ+ inclusion in Catholic schools can be moved from the current fear and conflict to an imagined consensus where all are entitled to the capabilities to be and do those things they have reason to value. I maintain that, in contrast to the justification of exclusion -- based on a reliance on disjointed doctrine and scandal in Catholic education -- LGBTQ+ inclusion sits within Catholic ideas of hospitality, difference, and freedom in with each person is entitled to full human dignity and as an end in themselves. As a result, I propose that Catholic schools should and ought to be places of LGBTQ+ presence and visibility at the institutional, pedagogical and pastoral levels.

When moral concerns become a psychological disorder: the case of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
Creators: name: Doron, Guy

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) is an anxiety disorder that has been rated as a leading cause of disability by the World Health Organization. Symptoms can include morality-related worries, feelings, and cognitions, such as perceived violation of moral standards, guilt, and inflated responsibility. However, sensitivity to moral issues, by itself, is unlikely to lead to an emotional disorder. Many of us experience events or thoughts challenging our moral standards but are not flooded by negative self-evaluations, dysfunctional beliefs, and pathological preoccupations. In fact, for most people, such experiences would result in the activation of distress-regulation strategies that dissipate unwanted thoughts, reaffirm the challenged self, and restore emotional equanimity. In this chapter, we propose that dysfunctions of the attachment system, as manifested in heightened attachment anxiety, can disrupt the process of coping with morality-related concerns and therefore contribute to OCD. For people with high attachment anxiety, experiences challenging an important self-domain, such as morality, can increase the accessibility of 'feared self' cognitions (e.g., I’m bad, I'm immoral) and activate dysfunctional cognitive processes (e.g., an inflated sense of responsibility) that result in the development of obsessional preoccupations. We begin this chapter with a brief description of OCD and current cognitive models of the disorder. We then describe the role of dysfunctional self-perceptions and sensitive self-domains –- domains of the self that are extremely important for maintaining self-worth -- in OCD. Next, we review empirical findings linking attachment insecurities and obsessive compulsive phenomena and propose a diathesis-stress model whereby experiences challenging sensitive self-domains, such as morality, and attachment insecurities interact to increase vulnerability to OCD. We then focus on morality as a particularly important self-domain in OCD and present new, previously unpublished findings showing that experiences in the morality domain can lead to OCD symptoms and that this effect is moderated by attachment anxiety.

Form fostering: A novel design approach for interacting with parametric models in the embodied virtuality
Creators: name: Salim, Flora D.
name: Mulder, Hugo M.
name: Burry, Jane
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This paper investigates the assimilation of embodied virtuality with parametric modelling to inform various stages of architectural design. Embodied virtuality is a term introduced by Mark Weiser in 1991 to describe the era of ubiquitous computing. Traditionally, the data used as input to a parametric model needs to co-exist in the digital world, stored in an archive or file system of our computer. However, with the proliferation of sensor and mobile devices, data can now be found everywhere in the physical world and the boundaries between the physical and the digital has become blurred. There is a need to integrate the real world and the digital information space for designing parametric models. The assimilation of digital data from the physical world with the existing CAD tools will create a synergy between form finding and form making. This paper introduces the notion of form fostering, which stands in between physical form making and digital form finding. Form fostering takes various inputs from the physical world to inform a parametric model or to actuate a physical model in the built environment. We present early experiments of Form Fostering, which include the use of a Wii Remote, an Arduino processing board, servo actuators and a camera as haptic input and interaction devices. The potential benefits of designing in embodied virtuality are significant since designers can get real-time input from both the physical context and from interaction with the parametric model.

description: We analytically determine Jacobi fields and parallel transports and compute geodesic regression in Kendall’s shape space. Using the derived expressions, we can fully leverage the geometry via Riemannian optimization and thereby reduce the computational expense by several orders of magnitude over common, nonlinear constrained approaches. The methodology is demonstrated by performing a longitudinal statistical analysis of epidemiological shape data. As an example application, we have chosen 3D shapes of knee bones, reconstructed from image data of the Osteoarthritis Initiative. Comparing subject groups with incident and developing osteoarthritis versus normal controls, we find clear differences in the temporal development of femur shapes. This paves the way for early prediction of incident knee osteoarthritis, using geometry data alone.

description: Copper and cobalt metal complexes of novel ligands, immobilized on 3-aminopropyl functionalized silica, were used as catalysts for the oxidation of cyclohexane and cyclooctane by H2O2 under moderate reaction conditions. The complexes of the Schiff bases are formed by coordination of N, O atoms of the ligands. The proposed structures were confirmed by elemental analyse, FT-IR, ICP-OES, thermal and scanning electron microscope (SEM) analyses. TGA analysis shows that supported complexes are stable up to ca. 200°C. Catalytic properties of the complexes were investigated for the selective oxidation of cyclohexane and cyclooctane and found that Cu(II) complexes showed well selective catalytic activity with%91 and%77 conversation.
Radiative transfer modelling of parsec-scale dusty warped discs

description: Warped discs have been found on (sub-)parsec scale in some nearby Seyfert nuclei, identified by their maser emission. Using dust radiative transfer simulations, we explore their observational signatures in the infrared in order to find out whether they can partly replace themolecular torus. Strong variations of the brightness distributions are found, depending on the orientation of the warp with respect to the line of sight. Whereas images at short wavelengths typically show a disc-like and a point source component, the warp itself only becomes visible at far-infrared wavelengths. A similar variety is visible in the shapes of the spectral energy distributions. Especially for close to edge-on views, the models show silicate feature strengths ranging from deep absorption to strong emission for variations of the lines of sight towards the warp. To test the applicability of our model, we use the case of the Circinus galaxy, where infrared interferometry has revealed a highly elongated emission component matching a warped maser disc in orientation and size. Ourmodel is for the first time able to present a physical explanation for the observed dust morphology as coming from the active galactic nuclei heated dust. As opposed to available torus models, a warped disc morphology produces a variety of silicate feature shapes for grazing lines of sight, close to an edge-on view. This could be an attractive alternative to a claimed change of the dust composition for the case of the nearby Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 1068, which harbours a warped maser disc as well.

description: Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were performed for cucurbit[6]uril (CB6) methyl and cyclohexyl derivatives in aqueous solutions. Furthermore, MD simulations have been conducted to study the inclusion complexes between each CB6 derivative with α,ω-pentane diammonium ion (NH3+(CH2)5NH3+) to estimate the binding free energies, the complex geometries and the intermolecular forces responsible for complex formation. Results show a complete inclusion of the guest molecule in the cavity of the host for all complexes. Results also indicate that the guest dynamics inside the cavity of the substituted host is similar to that for the unsubstituted host. This demonstrates that the molecular recognition of the host is not affected by the alkyl substitution at the equator. Also, there is an insignificant conformational change of the macrocyclic structure upon inclusion of the guest. Molecular mechanics/Poisson Boltzmann surface area method was used to estimate the binding free energy of each complex. Results indicate that host–guest electrostatic interactions make the largest contribution to the complex binding free energy. Moreover, van der Waals interactions add significantly to the complex stability. The guest molecules show more or less similar binding free energies with the substituted CB6 that exhibits slightly more negative values than unsubstituted CB6 which is proved also by umbrella sampling.

description: An increasing number of Australian parents of donor-conceived children are making contact with their child’s donor relatives prior to their child reaching the age of majority. This process, often referred to as “donor linking”, can be achieved in Australia through either formal or informal mechanisms. Formal mechanisms exist in three states, each of which has legislation enabling donor linking in certain circumstances. Donor linking may also be achieved through informal mechanisms, such as online donor registries, social media searches, direct-to-consumer genetic testing, and fertility clinics which act as intermediaries between donors and recipients. Drawing on qualitative interview data, this article explores the donor linking practices of 25 single women who conceived using donated gametes. The findings suggest that early contact with donors is extremely popular among single women and that, even when formal legislative mechanisms are available, informal linking remains common.

description: Opportunities to engage with nature have shown relevance in experiences of health and recovery of patients with cancer and are attracting interest in cancer care practice and design. Such healthcare innovations can widen the horizon of possible supportive care solutions but require deliberate and rigorous investigation to ensure responsible action is taken and wastage avoided. This protocol outlines a study designed to solicit knowledge from relevant experts drawn from a range of healthcare practitioners, management representatives, designers and researchers to explore levels of opinion consensus for determining opportunities for, and barriers to, providing helpful nature engagement in cancer care settings. Methods and analysis A 4-round modified electronic Delphi methodology will be used to conduct a structured, iterative feedback process for querying and synthesising expert opinion. Round 1 administers an open-ended questionnaire to a panel of selected, relevant experts who will consider the own recommendations of patients with cancer for nature engagement (drawn from a preceding investigation) before contributing salient issues (items) with relevance to the topic. Round 2 circulates anonymised summaries of responses back to the experts who verify and, if they wish, reconsider their own responses. Rounds 3 and 4 determine and rank experts' top 10 items using a 10-point Likert-type scale. Descriptive statistics (median and mean scores) will be calculated to indicate the items' relative importance. Levels of consensus will be explored with consensus defined as 75% agreement. Ethics and dissemination Ethics approval for this study was obtained from the Institution's Human Research Ethics Committee (blinded for review). It is anticipated that the results will be published in peer-reviewed journals and presented in a variety of forums.

description: his paper reports on the findings of a study that explores the ways in which civil society organizations use new media to engage in campaigns of political action. Focusing on campaigning by the environmental movement in Tasmania around the protection of native forest, the study investigates how stakeholders on this issue utilize the functionality of digital media to mobilize public engagement and, ultimately, influence the formulation of policy. Analysis of the study’s network data suggests that central positioning within social movement online network structures arises from strategic linking practices. These strategic communications practices enhance not only movement cohesion but also the visibility of those actors best placed to influence public debate and the formulation of policy.

description: A series of novel 12-alkoxyiminothiopentadecanlactones were synthesized starting from 2-nitrocyclododecanone by Michael addition to acrolein, followed by selective reduction of the aldehyde group, conversion of hydroxyl group to mercapto group, ring expansion, Nef reaction, and finally reaction with alkoxyamines. Their structures were confirmed by 1H NMR, 13C NMR spectra, and mass spectrometry. The Z and E isomers of some of the title compounds were separated by column chromatography and their configurations were determined by 1H NMR. These compounds showed excellent fungicidal activity against P. asparagi and are better than the commercial fungicide chlorothalonil. The results indicated that replacing an oxygen atom or NH group by sulfur atom may be an effective approach to improve the fungicidal activity or change the fungicidal spectrum of macrolactones and macrolactams./Supplementary Materials are available for this article.

description: This article discusses the use of observational video recordings to document young children's use of technology in their homes. Although observational research practices have been used for decades, often with video-based techniques, the participant group in this study (i.e., very young children) and the setting (i.e., private homes) provide a rich space for exploring the benefits and limitations of qualitative observation. The data gathered in this study point to a number of key decisions and issues that researchers must face in designing observational research, particularly where nonresearchers (in this case, parents) act as surrogates for the researcher at the data collection stage. The involvement of parents and children as research videographers in the home resulted in very rich and detailed data about children's use of technology in their daily lives. However, limitations noted in the data set (e.g., image quality) provide important guidance for researchers developing projects using similar methods in future. The article provides recommendations for future observational designs in similar settings and/or with similar participant groups.
