description: Chromatin diminution is defined as the elimination of DNA during the differentiation of early embryonic cells into pre-somatic cells. While it was first observed in the nematode Parascaris equorum, it also been identified in other parasitic nematodes, hagfish and copepods. In the copepod Mesocyclops edax, up to 90% of genomic DNA is eliminated during chromatin diminution. It was previously shown that the eliminated DNA contained highly repetitive heterochromatic sequences. Here, we digested pre- and post-diminution DNA with BamHI and produced small libraries of clones from each. Analyses revealed no decrease in low copy numbered sequences, such as transposable elements. Rather, both libraries are found to be surprisingly similar in all aspects analysed. Further comparison also demonstrated similarity of our libraries with the DNA sequences eliminated from Cyclops kolensis. Consequently, we suggest that M. edax eliminates portions of euchromatic DNA, in addition to the previously characterized satellite sequences.

description: Over the past few years, surface plasmon photodetectors have been of renewed interest. This is due to their unique double functionality of combining an SPP waveguide structure with a photodetection structure. This thesis investigates the performance of a Schottky nano-photodetector integrated into a finite width metal stripe which is covered by air on top and supported by silicon at the bottom, supporting the propagation of bound SPP modes. Properties of surface plasmons, including the sub-wavelength confinement, were exploited to increase the efficiency of the detector. The detector performance was explored via applying end-fire coupling to the fundamental supported mode, then the results were used to calculate the devices responsivity, dark current, minimum detectable power, and photocurrent for various metal lengths. End fire coupling to a Schottky mode supported by a nano-structured metal was done for what is believed to be the first time.

description: he goal of the Stability of Land In Dynamic Environments (SLIDE) project is to better understand the behaviour of slopes in order to develop strategies for more robust remediation approaches and improve resilience of New Zealand’s buildings and infrastructure. Numerical simulations of slope stability are used to better understand how anthropogenically modified slopes may perform in future strong earthquakes. The aim of this report is to provide a range of realistic earthquake ground motions, selected using the method outlined in the New Zealand Standard (NZS) 1170.5, that can be used as input into slope stability simulations for slopes in the Wellington city region. To select the records, the peak ground acceleration (PGA) hazard for a range of annual exceedance probabilities was disaggregated, resulting in three magnitude-distance sets that were used to inform the earthquake characteristics that should be considered during selection of strong motion records (accelerograms). Potential accelerograms were evaluated using the NZS1170.5 criteria, with the exception of application of near-fault factors. Near-fault factors were not evaluated or applied as the hazard spectra are not intended for use in seismic design and the periods of interest, as they relate to the landslide analyses, are below those which would be affected by near-fault factors. A total of twelve records were selected for use. Forward directivity in approximately 1/3 of selected records is usually required for accelerograms chosen for engineering design but was not considered as a requirement in records selected for this study based on the end use of the records.

The extent to which weight-related public health initiatives reflect the values and principles of health promotion: a critical discourse analysis

description: Increases in the body weight of people in Australia and other countries around the world have been the subject of intense scientific, political and media attention in recent years. The placement of body weight at the focal point of discourse about health is referred to as the 'weight-centred health paradigm'. This paradigm has become dominant in public health policy in the developed English speaking world but has been subjected to intense critique on philosophical, ethical and empirical grounds. Many of the strategies used in weight-related public health initiatives are enacted through the discipline of health promotion. Health promotion is the process of working collaboratively with people to enhance the health of individuals, groups, communities and populations using a broad range of strategies. Health promotion is the spearhead of the new public health, and is explicitly based on a set of values and principles. Health promotion practice that is underpinned by the values and principles of best practice health promotion has been termed modern health promotion. Health promotion underpinned by values and principles not consistent with best practice has been termed traditional health promotion. Despite the major role of health promotion in implementing weight-related public health initiatives, these initiatives have received little critique in relation to the extent to which such initiatives reflect the values and principles of modern or best practice health promotion. This research project addressed that gap.

If there is any Australian culture it is, in their opinion, losing ground to migrant cultures.
Content analysis of institutional policies on open science

description: This poster suggests that open science is defined as opening research outputs in the different institutional policies. Therefore the main open science components developed in the guidelines are open access and open research data. Other open science components are only very seldomly developed. As for the different intertextual relations of the institutional open science policies, it is evident that some references are repeated as key antecedents, and others are highly particular to each case. For example, the Brazilian institution's declaration on open science relates to the international organizations point of reference, while the other institutional policies do not mention this. This suggests a case of policy transfer up to a certain degree. It is possible to observe that in the French case, the interest in open science is a strategic goal for the government through a top-down policy approach with laws, roadmaps, and the national plan for open science to which the different institutional open science policies are aligned. No other open science-related documents were found for the universities in Brasil and Peru. However, it is evident there is an interest in the subject since there are activities about this issue carried out in the different research centers. Furthermore, in both cases, there are notably already several policies related to open data and open access. Rezende & Abadal (2020), Oliveira, Ribeiro & de Oliveira Santos (2021), Babini & Rovelli (2020) have done extensive work on the regulatory frameworks, open access, and open data policies analysis in the Brazilian case, while Babini & Rovelli (2020) examine policies related to open access and open research data in the Peruvian case. The absence of policies in the South American cases may indicate that even though the subject of open science is extensively discussed, it is still not materialized in action. Finally, further research would be needed to discover the nuances in the open science policies in the different institutions, countries and regions and their evolution over time.

description: Bisphenol A (BPA) and phthalates are chemicals found in many consumer products including water bottles, food packaging and cosmetics. Previous research has shown that there is potential for these compounds to contribute to obesity. In this analysis, the Canadian Health Measures Survey was used to investigate possible associations between urinary concentrations of these compounds and measures of adiposity. BPA urine concentrations were found to decrease with age, and significant associations with BMI and waist circumference were found in linear regression in adults. No associations with measures of adiposity were found in logistic regression for adults and significant negative associations were found in children. A similar discrepancy was found for mono-(2-ethyl-5-hydroxyhexyl) phthalate and mono-(2-ethyl-5-oxohexyl) phthalate, which were significantly associated with obesity in adults, but showed several significant negative associations in children. Overall, this analysis showed that it is unlikely that BPA and phthalates are contributing to adiposity in the Canadian population.

description: The world is changing, driven by forces such as global economic and financial crises, climate change and global population growth (Friedli, Basu, Bellm, & Werani, 2013). The dynamic and turbulent business environment of today has challenged companies to survive, let alone flourish (Battistelli, Montani, Odoardi, Vandenberghe, & Picci, 2014; Chowhan, Pries, & Mann, 2017; Javed, Naqvi, Khan, Arjoon, & Tayyeb, 2017; Lauser, 2010). In such an environment, in order to be successful companies have to be innovative-to be able to offer new products or services to meet changing needs and expectations (Cassell, BoÅ¾ic, & Ozretic-DoÅ¡en, 2015; Javed et al., 2017; Wan, Williamson, & Yin, 2015). Instead of developing new ideas and looking for new markets, many companies are concentrating on continuously improving deadlocked processes and sales flows (Friedli et al., 2013). Therefore, each company should exploit and optimise their current products, as well as leverage innovation as a cornerstone of sustainable growth and profitability (Friedli et al., 2013). It has been shown that intrapreneurship and its resulting innovative corporate climate can lead to far-reaching positive consequences for an organisation. In combination with an increasingly important innovation culture, population projections indicate that workforces will become increasingly diverse (Roberson, Holmes, & Perry, 2017), which brings the challenge of channelling this diversity into beneficial outcomes with an inclusive climate (Lizano & Mor Barak, 2015; Shore, Cleveland, & Sanchez, 2017).

description: This study investigates 'middle schooling', in particular, the attributes of the middle school teacher and what differentiates the middle school teacher from other teachers: primary and secondary school teachers. This notion of a middle school teacher with its own unique set of attributes sheds new light on the centrality of the teacher in this reform. So much so, that it is challenging the default position that the attributes of the teacher are generic and not usually differentiated from other teachers. Teachers in this phase of education are focused on early adolescence in what is broadly defined in the Australian literature as 'the middle years of schooling'. During the 1990s and into the present there are persistent and unyielding calls for schools to re-structure, re-culture and reform learning and teaching practices that focus on improving student outcomes. The purpose of this study is concerned with creating the conditions that support a different type of teacher who is responsive to the developmental needs of young adolescents and to develop a model based on the understanding of these conditions. The study was undertaken in South Eastern Queensland. The topic was researched out of professional interest in the middle years and the central role the teacher plays in improving student learning outcomes. This study makes a significant contribution to the current conceptualisation of the middle school teacher which is currently vague and informed by myth and intuit, rather than empirical findings. The study aims to generate data and develop theory concerning the attributes of the middle school teacher.
Bose-Einstein condensation of excitons.

Subjects: subject: Physics, Condensed Matter.

description: Experimental results concerning ballistic excitonic transport in high quality cuprite single crystals are presented and discussed. The onset conditions of this anomalous transport, in the form of a packet propagating at near sound velocity, is compatible with theoretical predictions for Bose-Einstein condensation of n = 1 paraexcitons. Experiments involving the interaction between two packets reveal coherence properties, in agreement with an interpretation assuming an exciton Bose-Einstein condensate as the origin of the packet. The amplification of the packet by thermal excitons and the creation of a stationary condensate in the form of a filament are discussed in terms of radiationless exciton scattering induced by the condensate.

description: Neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease, specifically accompanied by posterior cortical atrophy, progressively degrade visual cognitive function. However, studying the disease mechanisms and efficacy of potential interventions in these biological systems remains challenging. This thesis bridges computational and clinical neuroscience by leveraging convolutional neural networks as in-silico models of neurodegeneration in the visual system. Through four interconnected studies, it demonstrates how deep learning frameworks can simulate disease progression, neuroplasticity, and cognitive rehabilitation, offering insights into both biological processes and artificial intelligence (AI) resilience. First, I establish that neural injury in convolutional neural networks—via iterative synaptic ablation, neuronal ablation, and weight decay—induces progressive declines in object recognition accuracy and representational structure, mirroring cognitive trajectories of posterior cortical atrophy. This degradation disproportionately impacts later network layers, analogous to the vulnerability of higher-order visual cortices in humans. Next, I improve biological plausibility by simulating neuroplasticity through retraining, which slows cognitive decline and better preserves internal activation patterns. Finally, I develop a framework to evaluate cognitive intervention strategies, showing that accuracy-guided retraining preserves task performance and representational geometry during intermediate stages of model degeneration. Geometric analyses link successful rehabilitation to efficient compression in deeper layers, proposing a mechanistic basis for cognitive maintenance. By aligning computational insights with clinical observations (e.g., layer-specific degradation parallels preserved basic vision in posterior cortical atrophy), this thesis underscores the potential of in-silico models to accelerate therapeutic discovery. Future work integrating patient-specific biomarkers and counterfactual simulations could advance precision medicine for dementia, offering a pathway to translate AI-derived insights into targeted clinical strategies.

Observing Pressured Sea Ice in the Hudson Strait Using RADARSAT: Implications for Shipping

description: Pressured and ridged ice is a dangerous hazard facing ships in the Arctic. Ships can become stuck or beset in these conditions, which is environmentally and economically costly. Understanding where and when ridges form as a result of pressured ice is important for ensuring safe winter shipping operations; however there have been few studies to date regarding the distribution of ridges and their impacts within a geographic region. The Hudson Strait, which connects Hudson Bay and the Atlantic Ocean, is the site of ongoing winter shipping, where vessels frequently encounter pressured ice. This thesis addresses two questions: where and when do ridges occur in the Hudson Strait and what are their impacts on an ice strengthened vessel traveling through the Strait. To answer the first question, ridges were manually identified in RADARSAT-1 and -2 images during the winter months (December to May) from 1997-2012. Ridge counts and densities for each winter season were calculated and their spatial distribution was mapped. A 30-year sea ice climatology of the Hudson Strait was also created in order to understand ongoing trends in freeze-up and breakup timing in the region. Recurring patterns in the location and timing of ridging were found in the Hudson Strait, specifically in areas where shearing and bottlenecks created pressure. Ridge densities were correlated with sea level pressure, air temperature and wind NCEP reanalysis data to look to for connections between these factors and ridge densities. Some connections were found between freeze-up dates, sea level pressure and ridge densities. The second half of this thesis focuses on how ridges impact the voyage of an ice-strengthened vessel. Log books from the MV Arctic, a cargo ship that makes two winter transits through the Hudson Strait every year, were used to plot the movement of the ship and where and when it became beset. These data were examined for temporal and spatial patterns in besetting events. Most besetting events took place in February and March. They typically occurred in the eastern and western ends of the Strait. These voyages were compared to ridge data from the first half of thesis, and there were good correlations between the presence of high ridge densities and ship besetting events, demonstrating that ridge densities identified in satellite imagery can act as a proxy when forecasting hazardous ice conditions. This research fills an important knowledge gap in understanding where and when pressured ice forms in the Hudson Strait and what factors play a role in creating this hazardous ice condition. It also addresses the impacts that ridges have on ship transits through the Strait.

Questions of Mediation in the Translation of Tourist Texts
Creators: name: Agorni, Mirella
Publisher: name: Università degli  Studi di Milano
Year: 2012

description: The notion of “mediation”  - meant as a symbolic space for interplay and negotiation -  is one on the main characteristic of the language of tourism. The force of tourism communication lies in its capacity to develop a language capable of coping with the functions and needs of the extremely diverse components of this field. Hence, a variety of discursive strategies and linguistic features are exploited and textually organised into hybrid text genres, in order to meet the needs of professionals working in several areas (transport, tourist information, tourist accommodation etc).
 Not only is tourism communication subject to a high degree of negotiation at textual level, but the concept of “mediation” surfaces also at the ideational level of language. The purpose of tourism is to negotiate the encounter with the Other, and in doing so identities are very often re-arranged and distorted.
 The object of this paper is to analyse what happens when tourism-fashioned identities are transported across linguistic, social and cultural barriers.

description: Global aquaculture production (inland and marine) is now more than 80.1 million tonnes with an average consumption of 20 kg fish per person per year in 2016. However, the growing aquaculture industry has in parallel faced problems related to bacterially-induced diseases, resulting in significant production and economic losses. The use of chemicals and antibiotics to control these bacterially-induced diseases can have detrimental consequences, and as a result, the industry has been looking into alternative strategies. Examples include the use of bacteriophages specific to disease causative bacteria before they can infect and result in diseases in aquaculture facilities. However, despite their potential, there have been few reported studies on 'bacteriophage therapy' against disease-causing bacteria including the ones investigated in this study. Accordingly, the overall objective of this study was to assess the potential of bacteriophage treatment as an alternative and environmentally-friendly method to control bacterial infections in aquaculture settings.

T. languages and intergenerational communication and having as primary aim the one shown by the research projects carried out during the academic years 1998-1999: “socializing the generations by socializing the institutions” (Albanese, 1999, 2000); during 2002-2010 in Viterbo experimental research of intergenerational tourism and environmental education took place.
The central Italy experiences/researches are characterized by:
•    the choice of a particular type of tourism: thermal tourism;
•    the presence, during the years 2003-2007, of teenagers with different nationalities; the cross cultural meeting has been implemented so together with the intergenerational one.
In the following article, we will display some of the main results obtained thanks to the experimental/researches, particularly with reference to the communication data, collected in the inter-generational and cross-cultural communication area.

description: The future of scholarly communication requires researchers to share data and other research products, in accordance with open science principles. Open science not only helps satisfy funder and publisher mandates and accelerate the dissemination of research, but importantly, facilitates collaboration and makes research more reproducible and reusable. Many academic institutions have established institutional repositories and open-access programs to support open data and publishing. However, these initiatives often emphasize the end product of research. At Carnegie Mellon University, we implemented the Open Science & Data Collaborations (OSDC) program, within University Libraries, that helps embed open science practices into the entire research lifecycle by providing tools, training, opportunities for collaboration, community-building events, and advocacy. The OSDC program has supported numerous researchers and their projects and has created strong partnerships with academic departments and university leadership. Recently, we have turned our attention to developing metrics to evaluate the impact of the program and open science more broadly on research activity. We first collected data that includes event and workshop registrations, platform usage, and feedback from a user advisory group. Analysis of this dataset, along with a logic model that depicts the program activity and outcomes,  will help to develop more in-depth evaluation metrics and a toolkit, launch targeted surveys, and identify priority service areas and interesting open science projects. Our program implementation and assessment can serve as a model for others to implement open science initiatives on their campuses. We also welcome partnership with other universities to form an alliance of open science programs that supports open science as it continues to evolve.
Analisi terminologica dei siti web delle Compagnie Aeree British Airways, Alitalia, Tam e LAN

description: This study is part of a research about the terminology found in the language of tourism, defined as an area of ??knowledge. It has been conducted a study based upon the terms used by four major international airlines - two from Europe: British Airways (United Kingdom) and Alitalia (Italy), and two from Latin America: TAM (Brazil) and Lan (Chile) - in their websites, designed for the final consumer (passenger), since each of them has a different official language (English, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish, respectively). The specific objectives were: i) to reflect about the differences among the terms used by each airline, ii) to analyze whether there is a substantial presence of acronyms, iii) to identify how each of these airlines use English, considering that only the first one has it as its official language. The hypothesis that have guided the research are: i) there are no significant changes among the terminology used by the airlines which are the object of the present research, ii), there is a fair use of synonyms for the same concepts, iii) there is an extensive use of acronyms, iv) there is a considerable influence of English, that may be seen in language borrowings and in some hybrid formations.

description: Anxiety and attention disorders are the most diagnosed childhood disorders. Clinical diagnoses of these disorders are increasing in pre-adolescent populations, therefore addressing symptomology early with evidence-based interventions is crucial. Studies investigating the efficacy of mindfulness interventions in sub-clinical pre-adolescent populations are limited with heterogeneity in findings reported. Variability in study findings have been attributed to limitations associated with methodological approaches, statistical power, and the limited research that links neuroimaging and behavioural outcomes. Thus, a gap exists in the research investigating the neurobiological underpinnings of subclinical anxiety related attention impairments and the efficacy of mindfulness induced neurological and behavioural changes associated with these impairments. A neuroimaging investigation was adopted for this study, as the identification of the neurological underpinnings of anxiety related attention impairments may provide markers to improve the efficacy of interventions, specifically a mindfulness intervention for this thesis.
description: Children’s ability to focus and sustain attention is a complex cognitive process important for everyday functioning. Attention involves i) the alerting of attention to the task ii) the orientation of attention to the task, iii) sustaining focus on the task ii) redirection from irrelevant stimuli back to the task. Different brain networks and structures are involved in each of the attentional processes. Self-regulation processes are important to support attentional processing, being cognitive control and emotion regulation. Cognitive control is required to sustain attention to the relevant task, which involves orientation then detection of relevant and irrelevant stimuli. The engagement of regulation processes is required to direct attention from irrelevant stimuli to focus on the goal. In children with anxiety related attention impairments, dysfunction in these processes can result in attention shifts to the emotional salience of irrelevant stimuli; itself further complicated by the continued development of cognitive control and emotion regulation processes through childhood and adolescence. Furthermore, cognitive deficits in attentional processing have been associated with aberrant functional connectivity in brain networks and alterations in brain structures, further moderated by children’s maturing brain networks and structures.
Gossip and social exclusion in females: Do they have positive or negative consequences for social behaviour?

Subjects: subject: Psychology, Social.

description: In the past, studies of aggression focussed almost exclusively on physical aggression; findings revealed that males were more aggressive than females. Recently, interest in female aggression has been rekindled due to the suggestion by Crick and others that females aggress primarily by attacking personal relationships, (i.e., gossiping about others, excluding them from play groups, manipulating friendships); this form of aggression has been termed "relational aggression". Numerous studies have examined the relationship of relational aggression to negative outcomes such as peer rejection, loneliness and depression. However, relational aggression may fulfil a normative function in female social development by serving to create and maintain the intimate dyads that are the hallmark of girls' social interactions. In the present research, the relationship of gossip and exclusion to friendship intimacy and social competence was examined. Eighty-seven girls, 39 drawn from grades 4--5 and 48 drawn from grade 8 participated in the study. Engaging in negative gossip and exclusion were predictive of lower peer acceptance, which partially supported the hypothesis that these are dysfunctional behaviours. However, support for the positive role of these behaviours was obtained within the realm of friendship. Exclusion of peers from play was predictive of friendship intimacy in younger subjects, and interview data further supported the idea that these behaviours may help create and maintain intimate dyadic friendships: girls reported that gossip is most likely to occur in the presence of a best friend, and that the motivation behind exclusion is often preservation of a best friendship. Positive gossip, included with negative gossip in previous research, emerged as an important predictor of peer acceptance and friendship intimacy.

description: The management of dingoes (Canis lupus dingo) on Fraser Island presents a serious issue regarding the balance of public safety and world heritage conservation. One of the most important and least understood aspects of this issue is the availability of prey and prey species relations with the dingo diet. This relationship is the focal point of this research. To assess prey availability, three forest types were sampled during summer and winter 2005 using live trapping (12 sites) and track counting techniques (24 sites). Population estimations were obtained from statistical models (Nest) when possible, and with indices such as minimum number known to be alive (Ã‘) and the Passive Activity Index (PAI). To investigate the diet of the dingo, 126 scats were collected. Prey remains were identified and the diet composition was described using presence-absence and weight of remains methods. The most common species in the study area were pale field rat and bush rat. The activity of rodents was different in the three habitats sampled and in the two seasons. A remarkably higher activity level was recorded for lizards in summer and bandicoots and antechinus in winter. The PAI was calibrated against population estimates for rodents, providing a simple and efficient monitoring tool for use by natural resource managers. A generalist pattern for the diet of Fraser Island dingoes suggested a selective predatory behaviour towards bandicoots, in particular long-nosed bandicoot (Perameles nasuta), and prey switching for secondary prey, such as rodents, according to temporal fluctuations in the abundance of these species. Fish and human-sourced food consumption has decreased since the 1990s but they are still an important part of dingo diet. The functional relationship between dingoes and bandicoots approaches to Type II and with rodents approaches Type III. The habitat suitability for dingoes is similar in the three habitats sampled and prey availability is slightly higher in the Tall Wet Forest.

description: Open Science practices can be challenging for researchers: They may need to overthink their scientific workflow and some previously practiced research methods as well as to learn new practices such as preregistration or replication. Moreover, opening up their research may require additional steps in the scientific process and possibly also additional resources. In February 2021, the University of Mannheim has established an Open Science Office supporting researchers at all career stages and from all disciplines. The Open Science Office of the University of Mannheim offers individual consultations, trainings in various formats as well as Open Science grants and Open Science checks. It is tightly intertwined with the already existing Open Access support and interacts with the research data center, research support unit and other players within and outside the university.
