The effects of hearing loss on preferences for shared decision making in residential aged care: a mixed methods approach.
Creators: name: Ludlow, Kristiana
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Hearing loss is associated with communication breakdown in residential aged care. A review of the literature found that the effects of hearing loss on residents’ preferences for shared decision making remain unknown. The aim of the thesis is to assess how hearing loss affects residents’ preferences for receiving information, and making decisions, in terms of their medical and everyday care. An exploratory mixed methods study was conducted, involving interviews and surveys, with 26 residents. Interviews covered five parts: demographic details; self-perceived hearing loss; and, preferences for receiving information and decision making about medical and everyday care. Statistical analysis, thematic analysis using the Framework Method, and inductive content analysis, were employed to analyse data. Participants demonstrated strong preferences for receiving information and involvement in decision making, in both medical and everyday contexts. Despite strong preferences for receiving information, some participants, including three with hearing loss, expressed dissatisfaction with the communication they received. Participants’ with hearing loss reinforced the importance of family involvement in decision making processes. The findings offer direction for future research by emphasising the need to better understand the communication strategies employed by residents with hearing loss, and the role that family members play in shared decision making.

description: Entry in the FQXi essay contest "What is Fundamental?"
Abstract:The pursuit of knowledge often leads downwards and outwards: towards the lowest-level phenomenon (fundamental) and the largest number of like-minds (intersubjectivity). According to this view, a scientific phenomenon is reduced to its lowest common denominator, and eventually leads to a consensus-like view. Yet this may not be the only set of paths to and from fundamental knowledge, as this implies an inherently reductionist approach to the creation and exploration of knowledge. In this essay, we will explore how fundamental levels of analysis relate to larger frameworks of knowledge and discovery. Rather than framing the fundamental as a mechanistic necessity or a lower-level enabler of emergence, I propose that an alternative (the nonlinear intercontextual view) leads to a number of important benefits. The proposed viewpoint allows for fundamental components of a body of knowledge to be identified and characterized in a broader historical, intellectual, and mechanistic context. This view can be distinguished from the intersubjective view of knowledge-sharing, which implies many implicit assumptions and encourages unnecessary constraints of thought. A nonlinear intercontextual view also provides a way to reconsider what constitutes a fundamental unit in a body of knowledge. This leads us to new conclusions about the underpinnings of our scientific fields, our theoretical assumptions, and a set of meta-fundamentals that can redefine the manner in which scientific knowledge is set forward into the world.

The exceptional set $$E_{\max}^φ=\left\{x \in [0,1]:\liminf_{n\rightarrow \infty}\frac{r_n(x,β)}{φ(n)}=0, \limsup_{n\rightarrow \infty}\frac{r_n(x,β)}{φ(n)}=+\infty\right\}$$ is investigated, where $φ: \mathbb{N} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^+$ is a monotonically increasing function with $\lim\limits_{n\rightarrow \infty }φ(n)=+\infty$. We prove that the set $E_{\max}^φ$ is either empty or of full Hausdorff dimension and residual in $[0,1]$ according to the increasing rate of $φ$ .

description: Coffee intake has been inversely associated with asthma in adults. We examined the relation between urinary levels of caffeine or caffeine metabolites and asthma, lung function, and fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) in adults. Cross-sectional study of 2,832 adults aged 18-79 years in the US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). Multivariable logistic or linear regression was used for the analysis of urinary levels of caffeine or each of its three major metabolites (paraxanthine, theobromine, and theophylline) and current asthma, lung function, and FeNO. Subjects with urinary paraxanthine levels in the fourth quartile (Q4) had 53% lower odds of current asthma than those whose urinary paraxanthine levels were in the first quartile (Q1; 95% confidence = 0.22 to 1.00). Among never and former smokers, subjects with urinary theophylline levels above Q1 had 49% lower odds of current asthma than those whose urinary theophylline level was in Q1 (95% CI = 0.31 to 0.85). Among subjects without current asthma, each log10-unit increment in paraxanthine level was associated with a 0.83% increment in percent predicted (%pred) FEV1 and a 1.27% increment in %pred FVC, while each log10-unit in theophylline was associated with a 1.24% increment in %pred FVC. Neither urinary caffeine nor any urinary caffeine metabolite was associated with bronchodilator response or FeNO. Our findings suggest that two caffeine metabolites (theophylline and paraxanthine) may contribute to the previously reported inverse association between coffee intake and asthma in adults.

description: Objective: This study aimed to evaluate inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) adherence and identify factors associated with nonadherence in pediatric asthma patients. Methods: A total of 134 patients aged 8–18 years old were included. At the first visit, patient adherence, asthma knowledge, and outcome expectation data were collected and recorded. Depression, anxiety, and self-esteem were assessed using psychiatric questionnaires. After providing asthma education, reevaluation of adherence and asthma control was performed at one 3- to 6-month follow-up visit. Results: The mean ICS adherence was 75.9 ± 27.5%. Fifty-seven patients (42.5%) were defined as having poor adherence (<75%). “Intentional” and “hectic lifestyle and forgetfulness” were the main reasons for missing ICS doses in mid-late adolescents and children, respectively. Asthma knowledge generally improved with age. Overall, 89% and 67.7% of patients could define symptoms and triggers of asthma, respectively; however, less than 25% understood how asthma affected their body and the chronic nature of asthma. Patients with ICS adherence <75% had unfavorable expectations from asthma treatment (odds ratio [OR]: 1.05, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.01–1.10), and a higher proportion of inhaled short-acting beta-agonist use before exercise (OR: 4.12, 95% CI: 1.27–13.36). Depression and anxiety were frequently found (27.5%) and 23.3%, respectively; p > 0.05). Significant improvement in ICS adherence (p = 0.02) and Asthma Control Test scores (p = 0.02) were observed at the follow-up visit. Conclusions: Patient outcome expectations could be predictors of ICS adherence. Patient education regarding the mechanism and nature of asthma should be considered as an intervention for improving pediatric patient adherence. Psychological evaluation is warranted in pediatric patients with asthma.

description: Asthma is a common, chronic inflammatory airway disorder, with up to 1,177,000 people receiving asthma treatment in Japan. Dupilumab is a first-in-class, monoclonal antibody for the treatment of atopic diseases, including persistent asthma. The objective of this study was to assess the cost-effectiveness of dupilumab, compared with other biologics, as add-on treatment to background therapy in patients aged ≥12 years with uncontrolled, persistent asthma in Japan. A life-time Markov cohort model was used to conduct cost-effectiveness analysis from the Japanese healthcare payer perspective with an annual discount rate of 2%. Dupilumab was compared with benralizumab and mepolizumab, and against omalizumab (as a hypothetical scenario). Inputs were informed by dupilumab clinical trials (VENTURE [NCT02528214] and QUEST [NCT02414854] trials), the literature, official Japanese sources and expert opinions. The base case results suggest that treatment with dupilumab leads to fewer severe exacerbations and increased life-years (LYs) and quality-adjusted LYs (QALYs) than benralizumab and mepolizumab. At a willingness-to-pay (WTP) threshold of ¥5,000,000 per QALY gained, dupilumab was the dominant strategy (lower cost, increased QALYs) versus benralizumab, and cost-effective versus mepolizumab with an incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) of ¥1,010,921 (US$9,190, US$1 = ¥110). Versus omalizumab, dupilumab was not cost-effective (ICER of ¥10,802,368 [US$98,203]). In Japan, dupilumab, as an add-on to background therapy, is economically dominant compared with benralizumab, and cost-effective versus mepolizumab.

Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: The iron and steelworks at Rooty Hill and Port Kembla, NSW, Australia may be emitting heavy and trace metals to the environment. However, their emissions on soil have remained unstudied. This study investigates the trace metals and heavy metals in soils near the two steelworks as compared to the background site at Macquarie Park and also whether the soils from these sites exceed the NEPM 2011 guideline. The proximate, acid extractable elements analysis and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) were performed for soil analysis. Acid extractable elements analysis for the trace metals and heavy metals showed no considerable difference in trace metals at all sites. However, there was higher concentration of chromium, copper, lead, nickel, zinc, titanium and iron at Port Kembla as compared to Rooty Hill. Rooty Hill had higher concentration of manganese. Furthermore, all the sites had lower concentrations of trace metals and heavy metals with reference to the NEPM guideline 2011, except for molybdenum, titanium and iron which lack guidelines. This study suggests that soils near Port Kembla steelworks have higher heavy metal concentrations as compared to Rooty Hill. Also, the guideline should be established for all heavy metals including molybdenum, titanium and iron due to their high concentrations in soils.

description: A solid conducts heat through both transverse and longitudinal acoustic phonons, but a liquid employs only longitudinal vibrations. Here, we report that the crystalline solid AgCrSe2 has liquid-like thermal conduction. In this compound, Ag atoms exhibit a dynamic duality that they are exclusively involved in intense low-lying transverse acoustic phonons while they also undergo local fluctuations inherent in an order-to-disorder transition occurring at 450 K. As a consequence of this extreme disorder-phonon coupling, transverse acoustic phonons become damped as approaching the transition temperature, above which they are not defined anymore because their lifetime is shorter than the relaxation time of local fluctuations. Nevertheless, the damped longitudinal acoustic phonon survives for thermal transport. This microscopic insight might reshape the fundamental idea on thermal transport properties of matter and facilitates the optimization of thermoelectrics.

description: Malaria and schistosomiasis are two diseases that are preventable, treatable, and affect people living in vulnerable circumstances - in particular, young children in rural areas of sub-Saharan Africa. Yet, in sub-Saharan Africa in 2021, there were an estimated 237 million malaria cases and 226 million people requiring preventative treatment for schistosomiasis. Important prevention and control strategies for malaria include long-lasting insecticidal nets, access to early diagnostics and treatment with artemisinin-based combination therapy, among others; while prevention and control strategies for schistosomiasis primarily focus on mass drug administration campaigns that deliver praziquantel tablets without prior diagnosis to at-risk populations [23-26]. There is a critical need to revise and optimize current disease prevention and control strategies for malaria and schistosomiasis to meet the goals set out by the Sustainable Development Goals - especially given that current strategies are vulnerable to disruptions such as those experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic. This doctoral thesis aimed to understand population vulnerabilities, infection exposures and risk factors for malaria and schistosomiasis to inform targeted, and possibly integrated, interventions using two mixed-methods studies in two different settings (Tanzania and Benin) and a scoping review. We found that malaria and schistosomiasis overlap geographically and co-infect the same people living in vulnerable circumstances in the Mwanza Region of Tanzania, and that there remains widespread exposure to both diseases despite ongoing prevention and control efforts. The results from the study in Benin demonstrate that malaria prevention and control strategies are vulnerable to disruptions and there is a need to emphasize the importance of sustaining malaria control interventions during health emergencies. The results from the scoping review concludes that there is an opportunity to link control programs to increase access and coverage of interventions to improve outcomes for malaria, schistosomiasis, and their co-infection. We suggest that current prevention and control measures for malaria and schistosomiasis are not sufficient in reducing disease exposures and propose to combine interventions within and between disease prevention and control programs to increase program resiliency.

description: Application of NaI(Tl) detectors in the search for galactic dark matter particles through their elastic scattering off the target nuclei is well motivated because of the long standing DAMA/LIBRA highly significant positive result on annual modulation, still requiring confirmation. For such a goal, it is mandatory to reach very low threshold in energy (at or below the keV level), very low radioactive background (at a few counts/keV/kg/day), and high detection mass (at or above the 100 kg scale). One of the most relevant technical issues is the optimization of the crystal intrinsic scintillation light yield and the efficiency of the light collecting system for large mass crystals. In the frame of the ANAIS (Annual modulation with NaI Scintillators) dark matter search project large NaI(Tl) crystals from different providers coupled to two photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) have been tested at the Canfranc Underground Laboratory. In this paper we present the estimates of the NaI(Tl) scintillation light collected using full-absorption peaks at very low energy from external and internal sources emitting gammas/electrons, and single-photoelectron events populations selected by using very low energy pulses tails. Outstanding scintillation light collection at the level of 15~photoelectrons/keV can be reported for the final design and provider chosen for ANAIS detectors. Taking into account the Quantum Efficiency of the PMT units used, the intrinsic scintillation light yield in these NaI(Tl) crystals is above 40~photoelectrons/keV for energy depositions in the range from 3 up to 25~keV. This very high light output of ANAIS crystals allows triggering below 1~keV, which is very important in order to increase the sensitivity in the direct detection of dark matter.

description: Objective: To synthesize evidence regarding the relationship between outdoor air pollution and risk of asthma exacerbations in single lag0 and lag1 exposure patterns. Methods: We performed a systematic literature search using PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, ClinicalTrials, China National Knowledge Internet, Chinese BioMedical, and Wanfang databases. Articles published until August 1, 2020 and the reference lists of the relevant articles were reviewed. Two authors independently evaluated the eligible articles and performed structured extraction of the relevant information. Pooled relative risks (RRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of lag0 and lag1 exposure patterns were estimated using random-effect models. Results: Eighty-four studies met the eligibility criteria and provided sufficient information for meta-analysis. Outdoor air pollutants were associated with increased risk of asthma exacerbations in both single lag0 and lag1 exposure patterns [lag0: RR (95% CI) (pollutants), 1.057(1.011, 1.103) (air quality index, AQI), 1.007 (1.005, 1.010) (particulate matter of diameter ≤ 2.5 μm, PM2.5), 1.009 (1.005, 1.012) (particulate matter of diameter, PM10), 1.010 (1.006, 1.014) (NO2), 1.030 (1.011, 1.048) (CO), 1.005 (1.002, 1.009) (O3); lag1:1.064(1.022, 1.106) (AQI), 1.005 (1.002, 1.008) (PM2.5), 1.007 (1.004, 1.011) (PM10), 1.008 (1.004, 1.012) (NO2), 1.025 (1.007, 1.042) (CO), 1.010 (1.006, 1.013) (O3)], except SO2 [lag0: RR (95% CI), 1.004 (1.000, 1.007); lag1: RR (95% CI), 1.003 (0.999, 1.006)]. Subgroup analyses revealed stronger effects in children and asthma exacerbations associated with other events (including symptoms, lung function changes, and medication use). Conclusion: Outdoor air pollution increases the asthma exacerbation risk in single lag0 and lag1 exposure patterns. Trial registration: PROSPERO, CRD42020204097. https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/.

description: The thermodynamic properties of dipolar spin ice on square, honeycomb and shakti lattices in the long-range and short-range dipole interaction models are studied. Exact solutions for the density of states, temperature dependencies of heat capacity, and entropy are obtained for these lattices with a finite number of point dipoles by means of complete enumeration. The magnetic susceptibility and average size of the largest low-energy cluster are calculated for square spin ice by means of Wang-Landau and Metropolis methods. We show that the long-range interaction leads to a blurring of the energy spectrum for all considered lattices. The inclusion of the long-range interaction leads to a significant change in the thermodynamic behaviour. An additional peak of heat capacity appears in the case of the honeycomb lattice. The critical temperature shifts in the direction of low or high temperatures; the direction depends on the lattice geometry. The critical temperature of the phase transition of square spin ice in the long-range model with frustrated ground states is obtained with the Wang-Landau and Metropolis methods independently.

description: Under laboratory conditions, mating activity in Asian citrus psyllid (ACP) started 4 days after emergence, peaked at day 7, and showed a clear window of activity starting 8 h into the photophase and extending through the first hour of the scotophase. We confirmed that ACP males are attracted to emanations from conspecific females. Traps loaded with a candidate compound enriched with female extract, lignoceryl acetate (24Ac), at various doses were active only after being deployed for several weeks in the field, suggesting that a degradation product, not the test compound, was the active ingredient(s). Lignocerol, a possible product of 24Ac degradation, was not active, whereas acetic acid, another possible degradation product, was found in the airborne volatile collections from lures matured under field conditions and detected in higher amounts in volatiles collected from females at the peak of mating activity than in male samples. Acetic acid elicited dose-dependent electroantennographic responses and attracted ACP males, but not females, in Y-type and 4-way olfactometers. Field tests showed that acetic acid-baited traps captured significantly more males than control traps. Surprisingly, captures of females in acetic acid-baited traps were also higher than in control traps, possibly because of physical stimuli emitted by captured males.

description: We analysed the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) data from a sample of bright accreting neutron star (NS) low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs). With the aim of studying the quasi-periodic variability as a function of the accretion regime, we carried out a systematic search of the quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) in the X-ray time series of these systems, using the integrated fractional variability as a tracker for the accretion states. We found that the three QPO types originally identified in the '80s for the brightest LMXBs, the so-called Z-sources, i.e., horizontal, normal and flaring branch oscillations (HBOs, NBOs and FBOs, respectively), are also identified in the slightly less bright NS LMXBs, the so-called Atoll sources, where we see QPOs with a behaviour consistent with the HBOs and FBOs. We compared the quasi-periodic variability properties of our NS sample with those of a sample of black hole (BH) LMXBs. We confirm the association between HBOs, NBOs and FBOs observed in Z-sources, with the type-C, type-B and type-A QPOs, respectively, observed in BH systems, and we extended the comparison to the HBO-like and FBO-like QPOs seen in Atoll sources. We conclude that the variability properties of BH and weakly-magnetized NS LMXBs show strong similarities, with QPOs only weakly sensitive to the nature of the central compact object in both classes of systems. We find that the historical association between kHz QPOs and high-frequency QPOs, seen around NSs and BHs, respectively, is not obvious when comparing similar accretion states in the two kinds of systems.

Exiting Israel: the exodus narrative in Early Christian worldview & identity
Creators: name: Macdonald, Alex

description: Early Christianity was profoundly shaped by its Jewish heritage. In order to understand the emergence of Christianity, we must consider the role of Jewish stories, texts, and ideas upon the worldviews and identities of the New Testament authors. Few narratives were so significant for Jewish self-understanding as the exodus story. Building on the allusive and narrative approaches proposed by scholars like Richard Hays and Tom Wright, this thesis investigates the role of the exodus story in shaping the worldviews and identities put forth the New Testament epistles (specifically 1 Corinthians, Romans, Galatians, Ephesians, 1 Peter, and Hebrews). Though the influence of the exodus differs somewhat across each of these texts, all draw on this potent Jewish metanarrative to frame the outlook and self-understanding of the church – they are an exodus people. Furthermore, we may observe that the way these Christians engaged with the exodus story was not entirely novel or different to the ways that the exodus featured in their Jewish background. This Jewish story served to distinguish Christianity from national Israel, while still promoting substantially Jewish worldviews and identities.
(CS10) Marfan-like Phenotype and Aggressive Aortic Disease in 2 Malaysian Patients with Loeys-Dietz Syndrome
Creators: name: Muzhirah Haniffa
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: Introduction: Loeys- Dietz Syndrome (LDS) is a connective tissue disorder that was first described in 2005. In the past, many patients were misdiagnosed clinically as Marfan Syndrome (MFS) due to their overlapping phenotype. Distinguishing craniofacial features of LDS include hypertelorism, bifid uvula, cleft palate and absence of lens dislocation. Unlike MFS, aortic root dilatation and arterial tortuosity are almost always present. Case Report/Description : Patient 1 was a 7 year old boy, diagnosed with MFS at 4 years of age. Echocardiogram showed aortic root dilatation with normal eye finding. He was started initially on β-blocker by the cardiologist, losartan was added subsequently due to the rapid increase in his aortic root diameter. Patient 2 was a 14 year old boy, followed up for severe aortic root dilatation. He had a stormy neonatal period, diagnosed with tracheobronchomalacia, multiple joint dislocations, feeding intolerance, scoliosis and squint. His height was at third centile. His clinical diagnosis was uncertain. Genetic testing performed showed mutation at TGFBR2 gene, confirming a diagnosis of LDS in both patients. Discussion : LDS is a relatively new disease entity described in patients with aggressive aortic disease and Marfan-like phenotype. Inheritance is autosomal dominant. Patients will need regular echocardiography and imaging of the entire arterial vasculature due to their risk of aneurysm elsewhere. Surgical intervention for aortic root dilatation is recommended earlier compared to patients with MFS. Conclusion: The difference in disease severity and timely decision for therapeutic strategies highlights yet again the importance of genetic confirmation in patients with aortopathy.

Cosmological Redshift in a Bianchi I Axisymmetric Model: A Qualitative Analysis

description: Cosmic Microwave Background anomalies suggest that the Universe is slightly anisotropic, so a Cosmological Model that does not satisfy the Cosmological Principle is necessary. Anisotropic Bianchi models have been studied given that they would be necessary to understand the early stages of the Universe. In this paper, we analyze qualitatively the behavior of the cosmological redshift in a Bianchi type I model after a coordinate transformation in three cases: vacuum with no vanishing cosmological constant $Λ\not= 0$, universe dominated by dust and universe dominated by radiation.

title: A Quantitative Description of Migratory Behavior of the Brown Shrimp (Penaeus aztecus) with Applications in Fisheries Management

description: A quantitative description of the migratory behavior of the brown shrimp, Penaeus aztecus, was established using the density approach. A theoretical time density was estimated by the proportion of catch and catch per boat hour NOAA-NMFS fisheries statistics collected in Pamlico Sound, the Neuse River, and Core Sound. A clear quantitative description of brown shrimp migratory timing is found in the time densities. The impact of various physical tactors on the progress of the fishery in time and space can be objectively evaluated by using the time density statistics as dependent variables in modeling efforts. The distributions also enable one to compare characteristics of each weekly catch or catch/bhr between years and between areas to reveal the progress of the fishery in time and space. Time density distributions based on CPUL could be used to bring the fishery closer to "optimum utilization" by providing a quantitative measure of catch/bhc through time. Comparisons of distributions of a single species to distributions of all species combined provided a useful method for measuring the impact of exploitation the of one species on the other species. The time density approach also functions to demonstrate the relative practical utility of information from monthly, weekly, or daily averages of Catch or catch/bhr. Finally, the time density technique has been shown to be an improved method of predicting total yield even during years of apparently aberrant environmental factors. This analysis has provided a number of insights into migratory timing of bro n shrimp which could be of importance to fisheries management.

A renormalization method for three-boson system with a triboson field

description: A renormalization method that introduces an auxiliary field to represent a three-body bound state is studied in a three-boson system with a triboson field. A cutoff dependence in the three-boson system emerges as a limit cycle, and the cyclic singularity is renormalized by employing two methods: a standard method and the auxiliary field method. For each method, different sets of diagrams are involved for renormalization, and thus we numerically study three quantities: counter term for renormalization, scattering length of $s$-wave boson-diboson scattering, and normalized wavefunction. We confirm that the two methods would lead to the same result.

description: We investigate the magnetic properties of the multiferroic quantum-spin system LiCu$_2$O$_2$ by electron spin resonance (ESR) measurements at $X$- and $Q$-band frequencies in a wide temperature range $(T_{\rm N1} \leq T \leq 300$\,K). The observed anisotropies of the $g$ tensor and the ESR linewidth in untwinned single crystals result from the crystal-electric field and from local exchange geometries acting on the magnetic Cu$^{2+}$ ions in the zigzag-ladder like structure of LiCu$_2$O$_2$. Supported by a microscopic analysis of the exchange paths involved, we show that both the symmetric anisotropic exchange interaction and the antisymmetric Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction provide the dominant spin-spin relaxation channels in this material.

Accounting standards for Australian SMEs: identifying, considering and incorporating the needs of users into financial statements
Creators: name: Handley, Karen
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: In July 2010, the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) released an Australia-specific differential reporting standard known as the Reduced Disclosure Requirements (RDR) standard. The RDR is based on the measurement and recognition principles of the International Accounting Standards Board’s (IASB’s) International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS) with reduced disclosure and is targeted at non-publicly accountable reporting entities. In selecting this choice for Australian use, the AASB completed a very short consultation period following on from the release of the International Financial Reporting Standard for Small and Medium-sized Entities (IFRS for SMEs). The haste with which the standard was introduced was contentious, as was the decision of the AASB not to adopt IFRS for SMEs. The AASB also did not implement the full proposed change outlined in their Consultation Paper, which they had hoped would incorporate the removal of the reporting entity concept as it is applied in Australia. This thesis is set within the context of the development of the RDR standard. Included are three papers examining aspects of the standard setting process within this context. First, a synthesis of the issues facing the AASB and preparers of financial statements, the nature of participation in lobbying and the identity of users of the financial statements of non-publicly accountable entities are extracted from the comment letters in response to the AASB’s Invitation to Comment 12 (ITC 12). Second, the results of a survey of Australian accounting practitioners highlight the reporting practices of Australian entities. In addition, the awareness of members of the stakeholder community of the solutions offered by the AASB during the consultation period for the RDR is reported. These findings provide insight into the gaps between standard setters and other stakeholders. Finally, the motives of stakeholders for participation and non-participation in the development of the standard are established using a survey. These survey findings are supplemented by interviews with key stakeholders, to question the method by which the standard setter determines and preserves the public interest. Having examined the standard setting process, this thesis concludes that the processes designed for standard setting for listed entities may need adaptation when seeking input from stakeholders of non-publicly accountable entities or SMEs.
