description: Abstract

This paper explores the enforcement of laws against money laundering originating from environmental crimes, advocating for a restructured approach within a criminal justice system grounded in the principles of justice. It underscores the intricate and dynamic nature of environmental offenses that frequently coincide with money laundering, necessitating a refined strategy in law enforcement. The study utilizes a combination of normative juridical and socio-legal research methods to dissect the legislative and enforcement landscapes pertaining to these offenses in Indonesia, drawing on secondary legal resources like the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia, and primary data from interviews with law enforcement officials in North Sumatra. The findings indicate substantial obstacles within the existing legal framework, which hinder effective responses to the intertwined challenges of environmental crimes and money laundering. Issues include ambiguities in legal definitions and a deficiency in coordinated efforts across different enforcement agencies, which compromise the effectiveness of the anti-money laundering (AML) systems. In response, this dissertation proposes specific legal amendments aimed at fortifying the operational capacity of the Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Center (PPATK), clarifying regulatory directives, and alleviating the evidential burden placed on defendants who are not directly implicated in the original offenses. The dissertation concludes that an optimal reconstruction of law enforcement for money laundering cases linked to environmental crimes should encompass enhanced AML mechanisms, more precise regulatory guidelines, and an enforcement ethos that resonates with the justice principles embedded in Pancasila and the 1945 Constitution. These reforms are vital for cultivating a more equitable, competent, and effective criminal justice system in Indonesia.

description: AGPAT6 plays a crucial role in the triglyceride (TG) synthesis pathway in mammals. However, its roles in buffalo lactation remain unknown. Therefore, we investigated the functional roles of AGPAT6 in milk fat synthesis by transfecting overexpression and lentivirus interference vectors in buffalo mammary epithelial cells (BuMECs) in vitro. AGPAT6 overexpression in BuMECs significantly enhanced the mRNA expression of FABP4, SLC27A6, ACSL1, DGAT1, DGAT2, LPIN1, INSIG1, CEBPA and SREBF1 genes, and significantly reduced that of XDH, CPT1A, LIPE, INSIG2 and PPARGC1A, but has no significant influence to the mRNA abundance of FABP3, GPAM, PPARG and SREBF2. However, the interference with AGPAT6, the mRNA expression of FABP4, SLC27A6, ACSL1, DGAT1, DGAT2, INSIG1, CEBPA, SREBF1, XDH, CPT1A, LIPE, INSIG2 and PPARGC1A genes in BuMECs changed contrary to the overexpression experiment, and that of GPAM, PPARG and SREBF2 also did not change significantly, but the expression of FABP3 was significantly decreased. In addition, the overexpression/interference of AGPAT6 gene significantly increased/decreased TG content in BuMECs. The results here indicate that AGPAT6 gene is involved in TG synthesis in BuMECs, and affects the expression of major genes associated with FA transport and activation, TG synthesis and transcription regulation, FA oxidation and TG degradation during the lipogenesis of milk.

description: Urdu is spoken by more than 500 million people around the world but still is an under-researched language. The studies presented in this thesis focus on typical and poor literacy development in Urdu-speaking children during early reading acquisition. In the first study, we developed and validated a series of tests to assess reading and reading-related skills in Urdu, resulting in a test battery to diagnose dyslexia. For an in-depth understanding of the nature of typical and impaired reading processes in Urdu, in next two substudies the dual-route model (DRM) was adopted. In the first substudy we elaborated on the dual orthography of Urdu due to the presence or absence of short vowel markers or diacritics. We investigated this transparency effect as well as lexicality effects in terms of the DRM by measuring accuracy and speed of reading of (a) words with and without diacritics and (b) words and pseudowords. We found that both the typical and struggling readers preferred the visual word-recognition route over letter-to-sound conversion. Our final study addressed the letter-position effect resulting from the fact that in the Urdu orthography many letters change shape according to their position in a word. We found reading accuracy to be higher for words in which migrated letters changed shape as compared to same-shape cognates. This was again true for both the typical and the struggling readers but more so for the latter group. We conclude that the test battery allows for diagnosing and profiling the reading skills and deficits of typically developing and struggling readers in Urdu.

description: Increased body growth and feed efficiency are important for breeding due to expensive feed costs. This study estimated the genetic parameters for two feed efficiency traits [the feed conversion ratio (FCR) and the residual feed intake (RFI)] and other important economic traits in male Hu sheep using 1642 male Hu lambs. The heritability of the RFI was estimated at 0.31 (±0.10)–0.54 (±0.1) and the heritability of the FCR was 0.05 (±0.07)–0.77 (±0.12). There was a negative genetic correlation between rib-eye muscle area traits and RFI. A positive genetic correlation was found between fat deposition traits and feed efficiency traits. The digestive tract weight decreased with the direction of RFI: however, the FCR showed the opposite: A low FCR was accompanied by a high digestive tract weight. The genetic correlation between feed efficiency (RFI and FCR) and rumen weight was negative. Heritability estimates for feed efficiency generate fluctuations with different experimental intervals. The weight of other traits should be reasonably allocated to avoid losses in production and feed efficiency in the selection of feed efficiency traits. The present study added to our understanding of the genetic parameters of sheep under the condition of house feeding.

description: This paper examines the questions of whether smaller asteroids that burst in the air over water can generate tsunamis that could pose a threat to distant locations. Such air burst-generated tsunamis are qualitatively different than the more frequently studied earthquake-generated tsunamis, and differ as well from impact asteroids. Numerical simulations are presented using the shallow water equations in several settings, demonstrating very little tsunami threat from this scenario. A model problem with an explicit solution that demonstrates and explains the same phenomena found in the computations is analyzed. We discuss the question of whether compressibility and dispersion are important effects that should be included, and show results from a more sophisticated model problem using the linearized Euler equations that begins to addresses this.

description: A novel scheme is proposed for dissipative generation of maximally entanglement between two Rydberg atoms in the context of cavity QED. The spontaneous emission of atoms combined with quantum Zeno dynamics and Rydberg antiblockade guarantees a unique steady solution of the master equation of system, which just corresponds to the antisymmetric Bell state $|S\rangle$. The convergence rate is accelerated by the ground-state blockade mechanism of Rydberg atoms. Meanwhile the effect of cavity decay is suppressed by the Zeno requirement, leading to a steady-state fidelity about $90\%$ as the single-atom cooperativity parameter $C\equiv g^2/(κγ)= 10$, and this restriction is further relaxed to $C= 5.2$ once the quantum-jump-based feedback control is exploited.

Verification of multi-threaded C programs

Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Verifying the correctness of a program involves providing a guarantee, in the form of a logical proof, that the program is free of bugs for all possible inputs. It is therefore able to provide software developers and users with a much higher degree of confidence in a program's ability to perform its job than traditional testing, due to the fact that it produces certainty rather than empirical evidence of a program's partial correctness, something which is especially important when that program is responsible for large sums of money or human lives. Multi-threaded programs are able to take advantage of modern multi-core architectures more effectively than single-threaded programs but introduce challenges both to the author and the verifier. Concurrent programs are regarded as being more difficult to write and understand than traditional sequential programs by developers due to the large number of ways in which the multiple threads may interact throughout a program's execution. As such, the ability to formally verify this type of software is perhaps even more valuable than traditional single-threaded programs. For verification, the combinatorial number of ways in which the operations of each thread may be interleaved by a non-deterministic scheduler introduces the problem of state-space explosion. Here, we describe a method for adapting trace abstraction refinement, an existing technique for verification of single-threaded programs for application to multi-threaded programs in combination with an approach to reduce the state space of the program based on dynamic partial order reduction. We apply this method to enable the verification of C programs, building on the work on this topic by Cassez and Zeigler.

Proteomic analysis of environmental stress responses in grapevine

Publisher: name: Macquarie University

Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Understanding environmental stress responses is essential to improve abiotic stress tolerance in commercially important crops such as grapevine. Erratic abiotic stresses can pose a threat to viticulture practices. Changes in temperature and light exposure, either suddenly or seasonally, are crucial environmental factors that can influence grapevine productivity. The grape genome sequence was released in 2007 and the availability of this genomic information facilitated proteomic investigations to be executed in the Vitis species with ease. In this thesis, we aimed to enhance our understanding on biological pathways activated by the impact of abiotic stresses in grapevine, by characterising proteins associated with stress responses. Firstly, we optimised a sample preparation and fractionation methodology for label-free quantitative shotgun proteomic analysis of grapevine. We then implemented this optimised protocol for all the studies included in this thesis. Subsequently, we examined the influence of thermal stresses on Vitis vinifera and compared protein expression patterns between the control temperature and two different heat and cold stresses. This is the first label-free shotgun proteomic study on grape exposed sudden temperature changes. We demonstrated that proteins involved in phenylpropanoid biosynthesis were more abundant at extreme cold stress and could be cold-responsive proteins. We also observed that sugar metabolism switched between the alternative and classical pathways at thermal stresses. Next, two hybrid grapevine species - Vitis riparia and Seyval, were used to investigate cellular mechanisms associated with photoperiod regulated biological processes of growth cessation and dormancy induction. Several enzymes involved in glycolysis, and dormancy induction were up-regulated in short daylength buds compared to long daylength buds. We observed active growth as well as greater abundance of phenylpropanoid biosynthesis proteins in long daylength buds. Finally, we have introduced a new method for validation of quantitative shotgun proteomic data. We developed a protein quantitation false discovery rate and applied it as a noise-level threshold, to establish the significance of the proteomic results in this thesis. All the research studies in this thesis demonstrated the efficacy of label-free proteomics approaches in gaining information on grapevine responses to environmental stresses at the cellular level.

description: This case study explores how the initial teacher education primary programs at Macquarie University foster the Sustainability cross-curriculum priority. The study investigates the extent to which Sustainability is included in The Programs, as well as how confident initial teacher education students in The Programs feel to teach Sustainability. The study uses document analysis of Unit Guides to evaluate how Sustainability is fostered and follow-up semi-structured interviews with Educators to verify findings. Semi-structured interviews and a questionnaire to the 3rd and 4th year Students in The Programs are used to evaluate their confidence to teach Sustainability. The Educators and Students are asked about their perception of the relevance and importance of Sustainability and experiences in The Programs. Students are also asked about their perceived confidence to teach Sustainability. The evaluation of Unit Guides reveals limited explicit Sustainability included in the Bachelor of Education (Primary) program, though elements of teaching about Sustainability emerge as described by some Educators. The findings reveal that Students in The Programs perceive Sustainability as relevant, but most feel less than fully confident to teach Sustainability.

Two-Dimensional Structure-Embedded Acoustic Lenses based on Periodic Acoustic Black Holes
Creators: name: Zhu, Hongfei
name: Semperlotti, Fabio
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Classical Physics (physics.class-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Recent studies have introduced a new class of two-dimensional acoustic metamaterials whose dispersion and propagation properties results from the use of geometric inhomogeneities in the form of Acoustic Black Holes (ABH). The ABH is an element able to smoothly bend and slow down elastic waves, therefore providing a variety of unconventional dispersion and propagation properties typically observed in more complex multi-material and locally resonant designs. This approach enables thin-walled structural elements having fully embedded acoustic lenses capable of different functionalities such as focusing, collimation, and negative refraction. Numerical simulations show that such structures exhibit broadband operating conditions that span both the metamaterial and the phononic range. Full field experimental measurements allow validating the design approach and confirm the performance of the embedded acoustic lens.
The limited soundtrack: the sound and music of Hanna-Barbera from 1957-1973
Creators: name: Mesker, Alex
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: This thesis is concerned with changes in animation and animation music practices that occurred between the late 1950s and early 1970s. More specifically, the thesis focuses on the legacy of Bill Hanna and Joe Barbera as well as their two notable music directors, Hoyt Curtin and Ted Nichols. During this period, the Hanna-Barbera company helped usher in a new era of animation, one that was dramatically different to the earlier theatrical approach of larger motion picture companies like MGM, Disney and Warner Bros. Consequently, the primary research question of this thesis asks how cartoon soundtracks for television were different to those of theatrical cartoons. Through an analysis of Hanna-Barbera's approach to both animation and (under)scoring, this thesis assesses the impact that the television medium had on cartoon soundtracks. In particular, the analysis focuses on the interplay between visual and aural components to clarify the significance of sound and music to plot and narrative. Consequently, it explores the changing nature of cartoons from the late 1950s to the early 1970s, and examines how the approach to constructing soundtracks changed over this time. Critical to this change were the financial limitations and consequent technological ramifications associated with new animation practices. Analysis is directed towards Hanna-Barbera's soundtracks in order to identify key changes to sound composition/creation that were affected by production changes at the company. Consequently, a comprehensive discussion of the company's history is undertaken in order to link commercial decisions to sonic results. Ultimately, the thesis proposes the theorised concept of 'limited soundtrack' as a process associated with the limited animation techniques of Hanna-Barbera, and posits 'limited soundtrack' as an essential way to understand musical production in twentieth century television animation. Central to the concept of a limited soundtrack is the idea of thematic composition-a process through which musical phrases, segments, patterns and motives are created in response to planned screen actions, moves or gags. Thematic composition in the context of limited soundtrack, provides a frame to understand the changes to music and soundtrack associated with animation in the middle of the twentieth century. Limited animation removed a composer's control over action and rendered him reactive rather than proactive in influencing the storyline.
The structure of quadratic Gauss sums in Talbot effect

description: The field diffracted from a one-dimensional, coherently illuminated periodic structure at fractional Talbot distances can be described as a coherent sum of shifted units cells weighted by a set of phases given by quadratic Gauss sums. We report on the computation of these sums by use of the properties of a recently introduced integer $s$, which is constructed here directly from the two coprime numbers $p$ that $q$ that define the fractional Talbot plane. Using integer $s$, the computation is reduced, up to a global phase, to the trivial completion of the exponential of the square of a sum. In addition, it is shown that the Gauss sums can be reduced to two cases, depending only on the parity of integer $q$. Explicit and simpler expressions for the two forms of integer $s$ are also provided. The Gauss sums are presented as a Discrete Fourier Transform pair between periodic sequences of length $q$ showing perfect periodic autocorrelation. The relationship with one-dimensional multilevel phase structures is exemplified by the study of Talbot array illuminators. These results represent a simple means for the design and analysis of systems employing the fractional Talbot effect.

description: In this work, we studied the local structure and the magnetization of Co4N thin films deposited by a reactive dc magnetron sputtering process. The interstitial incorporation of N atoms in a fcc Co lattice is expected to expand the structure and such expansion yields interesting magnetic properties characterized by a larger than Co magnetic moment and a very high value of spin polarization ratio in Co4N. By optimizing the growth conditions, we prepared Co4N film having lattice parameter close to its theoretically predicted value. The N concentration was measured using secondary ion mass spectroscopy. Detailed magnetization measurements using bulk magnetization method and polarized neutron reflectivity confirm that the magnetic moment of Co in Co4N is higher than that of Co.

description: Three theologians from different localities, traditions and centuries are surprisingly similar in their theological and spiritual emphases. Augustine and Maximus have much in common with the eighteenth-century Reformed Protestant theologian, Jonathan Edwards. The common thread that draws these theologians together is found in their theology of the will and the affections, and in the manner in which their soteriological anthropology engaged with the patristic doctrine of deification.Each developed a theology of the will and the affections, which communicated intentionality (in that Christians through grace were capable of reforming and transforming their life), and which was framed by and climaxed in their notions of deification. The doctrine can be seen to function in the soteriological anthropology of each theologian to allow eschatology to inform the issue of Christian ethics and morality in the Christian’s present life. One result is that Christian issues of ethics and morality become a theocentric concern, not an anthropocentric one, demarcating Christian moral theory from secular and philosophical moral theory. With regard to Edwards, this can be seen to be the reason why the doctrine appealed to him in his eighteenth-century Enlightenment context. He perceived as false the ever growing rationalism in Reformed Protestant thinking, which, by imposing a dichotomy between knowledge and reason on the one hand and experience and practice on the other, creates a tension which continues to impact theological thinking today.

description: Based on empirical evidence from Weipa, far north Queensland, this thesis focuses on the traditional Aboriginal landowners of the area. It explores the ways in which they are rekindling their cultural identities through resource management strategies and aspirations. In a locality where Aboriginal resource management is juxtaposed with the industrial resource management system of Comalco's bauxite mine, the thesis finds that local Aboriginal options are inextricably linked to wider scale processes. The main influencing forces identified are Comalco, the RAAF Base Scherger and the state and federal governments. The thesis examines the ways in which the local landowners are pursuing their aspirations more effectively by actively engaging with these forces.
Clarifying Trust in Social Internet of Things

description: A social approach can be exploited for the Internet of Things (IoT) to manage a large number of connected objects. These objects operate as autonomous agents to request and provide information and services to users. Establishing trustworthy relationships among the objects greatly improves the effectiveness of node interaction in the social IoT and helps nodes overcome perceptions of uncertainty and risk. However, there are limitations in the existing trust models. In this paper, a comprehensive model of trust is proposed that is tailored to the social IoT. The model includes ingredients such as trustor, trustee, goal, trustworthiness evaluation, decision, action, result, and context. Building on this trust model, we clarify the concept of trust in the social IoT in five aspects such as (1) mutuality of trustor and trustee, (2) inferential transfer of trust, (3) transitivity of trust, (4) trustworthiness update, and (5) trustworthiness affected by dynamic environment. With network connectivities that are from real-world social networks, a series of simulations are conducted to evaluate the performance of the social IoT operated with the proposed trust model. An experimental IoT network is used to further validate the proposed trust model.

description: Neuroscientists have used fine gauge electrodes to record and stimulate the brain for decades. The main problem is the majority of neurological disorders involve problems with the chemical neurotransmitters, not electrical or electrochemical signal transduction. Due to this, a localised method needs to be developed to treat neurochemical disorders. This project investigates the fabrication of microfluidic device to be a chemical analogue to deep brain stimulation. We propose a modification to conventional droplet microfluidics that may enable water-based drug delivery and fluid sampling from the end of a microfabricated needle. The device will consist of a T-junction to generate water-in-oil droplets, a descending channel, a u-bend and a return channel. At the u-bend, the tip of the needle, a hydrophilic membrane will form the lid. Under positive/negative fluid pressure, droplets may be expelled/extracted through the membrane.This thesis describes how the microfluidic needle was fabricated using hot embossing, which involves pressing a PDMS mould (fabricated from a PMMA master mould) into a COC substrate. This microfluidic needle was tested using the Maesowregistered system to see if the channel is capable in producing water droplets in a continuous oil flow using a T-junction channel configuration. Bonding methods for bonding two COC substrates together, and a membrane to a COC lid were found in order to bond a COC lid to the embossed microfluidic channel.

description: This is the third paper on the study of gradient recovery for elliptic interface problem. In our previous works [H. Guo and X. Yang, 2016, arXiv:1607.05898 and {\it J. Comput. Phys.}, 338 (2017), 606--619], we developed {gradient recovery methods} for elliptic interface problem based on body-fitted meshes and immersed finite element methods. Despite the efficiency and accuracy that these methods bring to recover the gradient, there are still some cases in unfitted meshes where skinny triangles appear in the generated local body-fitted triangulation that destroy the accuracy of recovered gradient near the interface. In this paper, we propose a gradient recovery technique based on Nitsche's method for elliptic interface problem, which avoids the loss of accuracy of gradient near the interface caused by skinny triangles. We analyze the supercloseness between the gradient of the numerical solution by the Nitsche's method and the gradient of interpolation of the exact solution, which leads to the superconvergence of the proposed gradient recovery method. We also present several numerical examples to validate the theoretical results.

description: Colibacillosis is a complex disease that caused by avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC), resulting in huge economic loss to the global poultry industry and threatening to human health. Alternative splicing (AS) is a universal post-transcriptional regulatory mechanism, which can simultaneously produce many proteins from a single gene to involve in various diseases and individual development. Herein, we characterized genome-wide AS events in wild type macrophages (WT) and APEC infected macrophages (APEC) by high-throughput RNA sequencing technology. A total of 751 differentially expressed (DE) AS genes were identified in the comparison of APEC vs. WT, including 587 of SE, 114 of MXE, 25 of RI, 17 of A3 and 8 of A5 event. Functional analysis showed that these identified DE AS genes were involved in ‘Endocytosis’, ‘p53 signaling pathway’, ‘MAPK signaling pathway’, ‘NOD-like receptor signaling pathway’, ‘Ubiquitin mediated proteolysis’ and ‘Focal adhesion’ immune related pathways. In summary, we comprehensively investigate AS events during APEC infection. This study has expanded our understanding of the process of APEC infection and provided new insights for further treatment options for APEC infection.
