Adidas's sponsorship of the New Zealand All Blacks: the relationship between brand image and brand equity in sports sponsorship
Creators: name: Bibby, David
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: This study explores the relationship between two theoretical constructs: brand image and brand equity in the context sports sponsorship. The sporting context for the study was the 2003 Rugby World Cup held in Australia. The research focused on the sponsorship relationship between the New Zealand All Blacks and their major sponsor and co-branding partner, adidas. Keller's (1993, 2003) customer-based brand equity models were the conceptual inspiration for the research, with Faircloth, Capella and Alford's (2001) conceptual model - adapted from the work of Aaker (1991) and Keller (1993) - the primary conceptual model. Data was collected from two independent samples of 200 respondents, utilizing simple random sampling procedures. A bivariate correlation analysis was undertaken to test whether there was any correlation between changes in adidas's brand image and adidas's brand equity as a result of the All Blacks' performance in the 2003 Rugby World Cup. Results support the view postulated by Keller (1993, 2003) that brand image is antecedent to the brand equity construct. Results are also consistent with the findings of Faircloth et al (2001) who found that brand image directly impacted brand equity.

description: This special issue presents a collection of recent papers drawing on qualitative research in and about schooling in Australia and the ways in which gender-related issues in the broadest sense continue to shape people’s educational experiences. These papers from the present are positioned in relation to the long histories of policy and research attention to gender equity in Australian education. We set the context for work in the present by scanning the past, noting the ambitions, the gaps and the failures of earlier policies, and drawing attention to the quality and volume of research that has previously been undertaken in this area. We explore the current policy vacuum regarding gender to consider some of the pressures and complexities that have led to the erasure or avoidance of gender-related issues. Each of the papers that form this special issue demonstrate—despite different methods, theoretical frameworks, settings and participant cohorts—how stereotypes and limitations circulate in everyday life in schools and beyond them, and how these impact on people. They each explore from a different starting point how gender injustices are perpetuated and produced, in often subtle and nuanced ways that require concerted effort to unpack. They simultaneously offer insights into the critical and creative ways that young people and those around them are reconfiguring gender and seeking more hopeful and more equitable educational experiences and outcomes. Collectively, the papers that form this special issue advocate for policies and practices that embrace the complexities of young people's lives and are oriented towards inclusive and equitable educational environments.

description: This work describes the optimization process of a morphing wing for an unmanned air vehicle (UAV) by using multi-objective gradient based optimization algorithm in which maximization of lift to drag ratio and minimization of bending moment at wing root chord plane are defined as the objective functions. Six different optimization problems are solved by changing weighted sum coefficients of the objective functions in order to observe the morphing wing planform and the airfoil shape change. According to the results, 15.2% lift to drag ratio increase is obtained while the increase in the bending moment is 2%.
title: "Wenn einer eine Reise tut, dann kann er was erzählen." (Matthias Claudius)
Creators: name: Meindl, Maria
Year: 2010

description: Die hier vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit drei ausgewählten spätmittelalterlichen Reiseberichten und dem darin gezeichneten Bild von Jerusalem und auszugsweise dem Bild des Katharinen-Klosters und der Wüste. Die Anfangsthese, dass die Beschreibungen der Stadt Jerusalem sehr gleichförmig sind, die Beschreibungen der weiteren Reise allerdings individuell – im Rahmen der Gattung – gestaltet sind – kann verifiziert werden. Vergleicht man die Texte von Tucher, Rieter und Breydenbach, so kommt man zu dem Schluss, dass sie alle drei Jerusalem vielmehr als ein Freiluftmuseum mit einer Vielzahl an heiligen Stätten und oftmaliger Möglichkeit zum Erwerb von Ablass darstellen, als es als realen Lebensraum verstehen. Die Gleichförmigkeit der Beschreibungen ist allerdings nicht als Beweis mangelnder Originalität zu bewerten, sondern beruht vielmehr auf der Tatsache, dass das Pilgerwesen sehr stark institutionalisiert war und somit alle Pilger die selben Erlebnisse hatten und von diesen berichteten. Die Beschreibung der Erlebnisse ändert sich mit dem Verlassen der heiligen Stadt. Ab diesem Zeitpunkt werden die Autoren als Individuen greifbar, da ein jeder von dem berichtet, was ihm persönlich am wichtigsten ist. Wichtig ist an dieser Stelle auch der Hinweis auf die Tatsache der gleichen sprachlichen Gestaltung der drei Reiseberichte. Über weite Teile hinweg verwenden die drei Autoren das Wort item um die einzelnen besichtigten Orte miteinander zu verbinden. Zusammenfassend kann festgehalten werden, dass es vermessen wäre, die Reiseberichte als Zeugnisse individuellen Erlebens zu lesen. Andererseits stimmt die Behauptung, alle Reiseberichte wären gleich, ebenso wenig. Vielmehr liegt die Wahrheit in der Mitte: Kanonisiertes wird mit individuellem Erleben zusammengefügt und zu einem Text zusammengesetzt.
Metadata for user-centred, inclusive access to digital resources: realising the theory of AccessForAll Accessibility
Creators: name: Nevile, Elizabeth
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: To be inclusive, the Web needs published resources to be matched to individual users’ needs and preferences for their perception and control. In a decade, this has not been achieved and many cannot make use of resources despite having appropriate facilities. This thesis argues that the necessary management of resources can be achieved with well-designed metadata. Demonstration and explanation of the accessibility problems, efforts to solve them and the current state of inaccessibility of Web resources, any resource that is available through the World Wide Web, is fundamental to the research.

The author relies heavily on Dublin Core metadata as it is relatively easy to use; is probably the most populous metadata; can be managed with free software systems, and for commercial reasons. The research investigated what makes DC metadata, so apparently simple, powerful enough to be the most popular metadata because there is very little available that explains this. The thesis then documents the scientific view of metadata upon which effective use of metadata can be based in the context of accessibility. It argues, at a practical level, that metadata is essential and integral to any shift to an on-going process approach to accessibility. It contributes to the science of metadata in as much as it analyses, synthesizes, and articulates the characteristics of an essential infrastructure for a new approach to accessibility.

The author argues in favour of an on-going process approach to accessibility of resources that supports continuous improvement of any given resource, not necessarily by the author of the resource, and not necessarily by design or with knowledge of the original author, by contributors who may be distributed globally. The thesis argues that the current dependence on production guidelines and post-production evaluation of resources as either universally accessible or otherwise, does not adequately provide for either the accessibility necessary for individuals or the continuous or evolutionary approach possible within the current Web environment. It argues that a distributed, social-networking view of the Web as interactive, combined with a social model of disability, given the management tools of machine-readable, interoperable AccessForAll metadata, as developed, can achieve the desired goals. It raises issues regarding its implementation in the distributed environment of the Web.

description: The increasing use of the Internet of Things (IoT) has driven the demand for enhanced and robust access control methods to protect resources from unauthorized access. A cloud-based access control approach brings significant challenges in terms of communication overhead, high latency, and complete reliance. In this paper, we propose a Fog-Based Adaptive Context-Aware Access Control (FB-ACAAC) framework for IoT devices, dynamically adjusting access policies based on contextual information to prevent unauthorised resource access. The main purpose of FB-ACAAC is to provide adaptability to changing access behaviors and context by bringing decision-making and information about policies closer to the end nodes of the network. FB-ACAAC improves the availability of resources and reduces the amount of time for information to be processed. FB-ACAAC extends the widely used eXtensible Access Control Markup Language (XACML) to manage access control decisions. Traditional XACML-based methods do not take into account changing environments, different contexts, and changing access behaviors and are vulnerable to certain types of attacks. To address these issues, FB-ACAAC proposes an adaptive context-aware XACML scheme for heterogeneous distributed IoT environments using fog computing and is designed to be context-aware, adaptable, and secure in the face of unauthorised access. The effectiveness of this new scheme is verified through experiments, and it has a low processing time overhead while providing extra features and improved security.
OFDM techniques for multimedia data transmission
Creators: name: Neville, Katrina
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description:
Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is an efficient parallel data transmission scheme that has relatively recently become popular in both wired and wireless communication systems for the transmission of multimedia data. OFDM can be found at the core of well known systems such as digital television/radio broadcasting, ADSL internet and wireless LANs.

Research into the OFDM field continually looks at different techniques to attempt to make this type of transmission more efficient. More recent works in this area have considered the benefits of using wavelet transforms in place of the Fourier transforms traditionally used in OFDM systems and other works have looked at data compression as a method of increasing throughput in these types of transmission systems.

The work presented in this thesis considers the transmission of image and video data in traditional OFDM transmission and discusses the strengths and weaknesses of this method. This thesis also proposes a new type of OFDM system that combines transmission and data compression into one block. By merging these two processes into one the complexity of the system is reduced, therefore promising to increase system efficiency.

The results presented in this thesis show the novel compressive OFDM method performs well in channels with a low signal-to-noise ratio. Comparisons with traditional OFDM with lossy compression show a large improvement in the quality of the data received with the new system when used in these noisy channel environments. The results also show superior results are obtained when transmitting image and video data using the new method, the high correlative properties of images are ideal for effective transmission using the new technique.

The new transmission technique proposed in this thesis also gives good results when considering computation time. When compared to MATLAB simulations of a traditional DFT-based OFDM system with a separate compression block, the proposed transmission method was able to reduce the computation time by between a half to three-quarters. This decrease in computational complexity also contributes to transmission efficiency when considering the new method.

title: Transplantationen von Organen Verstorbener in Österreich und Großbritannien
Creators: name: Karpf, Stefanie
Year: 2010

description: Diese Arbeit beschäftigt sich zunächst mit den Anfängen, der Entwicklung und schließlich den Erfolgen in der Transplantationsmedizin. Dabei werden die wichtigsten medizinischen Aspekte und Schwierigkeiten bei Organtransplantationen erklärt. Nach einem kurzen Überblick über die rechtlichen Möglichkeiten von Organentnahmen wird das österreichische Transplantationsrecht ausführlich dargestellt. Anschließend wird die britische Rechtslage auf diesem Gebiet ebenso erläutert. Im darauffolgenden Rechtsvergleich wird das österreichische Regelwerk dem britischen gegenübergestellt und sowohl Gemeinsamkeiten als auch Ähnlichkeiten, Unterschiede und staatenspezifische Besonderheiten werden herausgearbeitet. Dabei zeigt sich, dass die beiden Lösungen grundsätzliche Unterschiede aufweisen, die sich auch auf die Praxis auswirken. In concreto haben sich die Österreicher für die Widerspruchslösung entschieden, nach der grundsätzlich jeder Verstorbene zum Organspender wird, es sei denn, er hat sich zu Lebzeiten dagegen ausgesprochen. Die Briten hingegen halten seit Jahrzehnten an der Zustimmungslösung fest, nach der grundsätzlich keine Organe entnommen werden, es sei denn, der Verstorbene hat dies zu Lebzeiten befürwortet oder seine Angehörigen stimmen einer Entnahme nach seinem Tod zu. Überdies ist das britische Transplantationsrecht wesentlich jünger als das österreichische. Außerdem spielt in Großbritannien das case law natürlich eine entscheidende Rolle. Durch die britische Zustimmungslösung stehen in Großbritannien weniger Spenderorgane zur Verfügung als in Österreich. Außerdem ist das britische Transplantationsrecht zersplittert und etwas kompliziert. An der österreichischen Regelung werden die unzureichende Information der Bevölkerung sowie das Fehlen eines eigenen Transplantationsgesetzes kritisiert. Trotz all der Unterschiede der beiden Transplantationsrechte muss man sich in beiden Staaten gleichermaßen fragen, wie man die Interessen von Organspender und Organempfänger in bestmöglicher Art und Weise schützen kann.
The advent of mental health nurses in Australian primary health care: a preliminary evaluation of the mental health nurse incentive program.

description: Primary health care plays an important role in the health system of any nation. There has been a growing emphasis in Australia on the role of primary health care in the provision of accessible mental health care to people with mental illness in the face of dwindling health care funding. This explorative-descriptive mixed method study describes the role and scope of practice of Mental Health Nurses (MHNs) working under the Australian Government’s Mental Health Nurse Incentive Program (MHNIP) as well as the impact of their role. The study consisted of 3 phases. Interviews were held with key stakeholders involved in the establishment of the MHNIP such as Government representatives in phase 1 of the study. Interviews were conducted with MHNs working under the MHNIP in phase 2 and in phase 3 of the study, a survey of MHNs and GPs was conducted canvassing their views on the operation and impact of the MHNIP. The study revealed that the guidelines for the role of MHNs were largely pre-determined by the Commonwealth Government, there was no evidence-based practice that informed the role of the MHNs. On their part, MHNs were quite pleased with the opportunity to work in general practice and GPs largely welcomed the presence of MHNs in their practice. The role of the MHNs is similar to that of the case management role of community psychiatric nurses; however, the nurses are able to better utilise their clinical skills. The role of MHNs in primary health care can be further expanded to improve overall health care delivery for people with a severe mental illness. The MHNIP opens the way for a more effective delivery of mental health care in Australia.

Hence, thanks to reduced 3D equations and Large Eddy Simulations (LES) data, this model allows to correctly represent combustion of transient operating conditions, which is unique for a 0D model of combustion in aeroengines. The developed 0D combustion model focuses on the description of turbulent premixed combustion, typically encountered at the injector exit of gas turbines combustor, by using the Coherent Flame Model (CFM) formalism.

description: The European Space Agency (ESA) Science Programme Committee (SPC) selected CHEOPS (CHaracterizing ExO-Planets Satellite) in October 2012 as the first S-class mission (S1) within the Agency\'s Scientific Programme, targeting launch readiness by the end of 2018. The CHEOPS mission aims at first-step characterization of known exoplanets orbiting bright stars, to be achieved through the accurate measurement of exo-planet radii using the technique of transit photometry. The mission is implemented as a partnership between ESA and a consortium of ESA Member States led by Switzerland. CHEOPS is considered as a pilot case for implementing \"small science missions\" in ESA with the following requirements: science driven missions selected through an open call for missions; spacecraft development schedule much shorter than for M (medium) and L (large) missions, in the range of 4 years; and cost-capped missions to ESA with possibly higher ESA Member States involvement than for M or L missions. To reach its scientific goal of accurately characterizing exo-planet size the CHEOPS instrument will measure photometric signals with an accuracy of 20 ppm in 6 hours of integration time for an Earth size planet orbiting a 9th magnitude star and an accuracy of 85 ppm in 3 hours integration time for a Neptune-size planet orbiting 12th magnitude star. By being able to point at large portions of the sky, with 50% of the whole sky accessible for 50 cumulative days of observations per year, CHEOPS will provide the unique capability of determining accurate radii for a subset of planets for which the mass has already been estimated from ground-based Doppler surveys. The instrument provided by a consortium led by the University of Bern is an optical Ritchey-Chretien telescope with 300 mm effective aperture diameter, which provides a defocussed image of the target star on a single frame-transfer backside illuminated CCD detector. Straylight is minimized using a large external baffle and a dedicated field stop. AIRBUS DS Spain was awarded with the contract to manufacture and integrate the satellite platform, the integration of the scientific instrument, the realization of the satellite functional and environmental campaigns, the launch campaign and the LEOP and IOC phases. The platform is based on heritage from the AS250, which is a compact, high performance and flight proven design. This paper describes the CHEOPS development status, focusing on the hardware manufacturing status, integration and test activities and preparation for launch readiness.

description: The inner liner of the regeneratively cooled wall of the combustion chamber of a liquid booster engine is extremely loaded by the high temperature of the hot gas and the pressure difference between the coolant and the hot gas. A cyclic operation of such a chamber usually causes a low cycle fatigue failure of the wall structure. For the tests proposed in this paper, cyclic laser heating will be (as replacement for the hot gas) applied to an actively cooled small section of the hot gas wall of the real engine - the so called thermo-mechanical fatigue (TMF) panel. This manuscript contains a detailed description of the TMF test bench at DLR Lampoldshausen and shows the liquid booster nozzle throat TMF panel hardware. Finally the model, boundary conditions, and results of a coupled CFD analysis of the nitrogen flow inside the cooling channels and finite element analysis of the heat conduction inside the TMF panel structure are described.

description: Indigenous cultures have an integrated relationship with nature, and do not view it in opposition to culture, nor do they consider humans as separate from the environment. For example, the concepts of nuna and sila and the figure of Sedna, at the basis of the traditional Inuit thought, decenter the role of humans in the living world. In 2009, Greenlandic author Lana Hansen published a »tale about climate change«, Sila . She calls for a holistic view, using concepts that encompass humans, animals, languages, spirits, memories, plants, and resources. This article aims to review the context of publication of Hansen’s tale from a point of view of Greenlandic and Inuit literature and to examine the traditional sources that it brings into play.
description: Indigene Kulturen stehen in einheitlicher Verbindung mit der Natur, betrachten diese weder als kulturellen Gegensatz noch den Menschen als von der Umwelt getrennt. Die Begriffe nuna und sila beispielsweise und die Gestalt der Sedna, die dem traditionellen Denken der Inuit zugrunde liegen, marginalisieren die Rolle des Menschen in seiner Lebenswelt. 2009 veröffentlicht die grönländische Autorin Lana Hansen eine »Erzählung über den Klimawandel«, Sila . Sie plädiert darin für eine ganzheitliche Sichtweise und verwendet Konzepte, die Menschen, Tiere, Sprachen, Geister, Erinnerungen, Pflanzen und Ressourcen einbeziehen. Dieser Artikel kontextualisiert Hansens Erzählung aus Sicht der grönländischen und der Inuit-Literatur und untersucht die mit eingebrachten traditionellen Quellen.

description: Background: Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination is safe and effective in preventing cervical cancer in females. As HPV infections can also induce cancers of the anus, penis and oral cavity, male vaccination is also advocated, but systematic reviews on efficacy and safety in males are lacking. Methods: We performed a systematic review on the efficacy, effectiveness and safety of HPV vaccination in males of any age. MEDLINE, Embase, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials and ClinicalTrials.gov were searched from inception to April 2017. Results: We identified 5196 articles and seven studies (four randomized controlled trials (RCTs), three non-randomized studies) were included, comprising a total of 5294 participants. Vaccine efficacy against at least 6-month persisting anogenital HPV 16 infections was 46.9% (95% confidence interval (CI) 28.6–60.8%), whereas efficacy against persisting oral infections was 88% (2–98%). A vaccine efficacy of 61.9% (21.4–82.8%) and 46.8% (− 20 to –77.9%) was observed against anal intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2 and grade 3 lesions, respectively. No meaningful estimates were available on vaccine efficacy or effectiveness against penile intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2 or 3, and no data were identified for anal, penile or head and neck squamous cell cancer. In participants who were HPV-seronegative and PCR-negative at enrolment, efficacy against all outcomes was higher as compared to seropositive and/or PCR-positive individuals. Risk of bias was low in three RCTs and high in one, while the three non-randomized studies were at serious to critical risk of bias. Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation evidence quality was moderate to low for most outcomes. Conclusions: HPV vaccination in males is moderately effective against persistent anogenital HPV infection and high-grade anal intraepithelial lesions in studies where the population consists mainly of HPV-infected males. Vaccine effectiveness was high in study groups comprising HPV-naïve males. This supports a recommendation for vaccination of boys before the onset of sexual activity with the goal of establishing optimal vaccine-induced protection. Mathematical modelling studies will still be needed to assess the effects of adding males to existing HPV vaccination programs in females.

Strategies for delivery of alpha toxin variants designed to inhibit Clostridium perfringens infections
Creators: name: Baird, Fiona
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: Alpha toxin is expressed by Clostridium perfringens during necrotic enteritis infection of chickens and causes great cellular damage in its active conformation. This project focussed on designing constructs with modifications to the gene sequence that resulted in inactivation of the toxin whilst retaining the immunogenicity of the native toxin. Three constructs were designed: plcInv, deletion of a section of the catalytic domain that inactivates the active site; plc104, the highly immunogenic carboxyl domain of the alpha toxin; and plc2, a multiple point mutagenesis designed to inactivate two key amino acids in the active site. Purification of the proteins demonstrated that plc2 had superior expression and was more stable than plcInv deletion protein. These constructs were tested as both purified proteins and cloned to be expressed constitutively from an attenuated vaccine strain STM1, a Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium vaccine approved for poultry usage, using a hemolysin secretion system vector.

As purified protein vaccines, the plc2 construct provided partial protection from gas gangrene infection in mice; while the other constructs elicited good humoral responses they did not induce a significant delay of disease onset. In mice, the delivery of these constructs via STM1 did not result in protection from gas gangrene challenge. In chicken immunogenicity trials the responses elicited by the STM1 delivered constructs were determined to be non-specific and cross-reactive with the STM1 vector. In the presence of pre-existing immunity to the most commonly isolated commensal, Salmonella enterica serovar Sofia, the vaccines and constructs did result in lower responses for the extracellularly delivered construct.

In conclusion, these constructs based on the alpha toxin when delivered by STM1 were not effective immunogens in eliciting specific protective responses to gas gangrene challenge in mice and did not elicit strong responses in the immunogenicity trials in chickens. This failure to induce high antigen-specific responses does not preclude the use of the hemolysin system in STM1 as a vaccine delivery system with a more immunogenic antigen. Ideally the most effective way to investigate these responses would be in a necrotic enteritis chicken model as this would determine if the responses are indeed ultimately protective.

NUMERICAL MODELING

description: In the paper non-equilibrium flows of the CO2 /CO/O mixture in the relaxation zone behind shock waves are numerically studied taking into account vibrational energy transitions and dissociation of CO2 molecules. The three-temperature kinetic theory approximation is applied for derivation of flow equations and CO2 dissociation rate coefficients. The governing equations for the translational temperature T , two vibrational temperatures of coupled (symmetric-bending) and asymmetric CO2 modes T12 , T3 , flow velocity and number densities of species are solved numerically for a inviscid flow behind a plane shock wave for different free stream conditions. The obtained results are compared with those found in the frame of the simplified two-temperature and one-temperature CO2 kinetic models. The impact of CO2 vibrational distributions and free stream conditions on the evolution of flow parameters and CO2 dissociation rate behind a shock front is shown.
Tyranny of the lamington: cultural influences on creativity
Creators: name: Horvat, Leslie
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: Through a qualitative study of professional photographers who were born overseas, or whose parents were born overseas; this research aims to provide an analysis of factors brought about by cultural dislocation, and how these factors may affect the creative process. Although of recent times a variety of approaches with regard to creativity research have been explored, and despite the importance for educators to gain a better understanding of creativity, the effect of cultural disruption upon creative output has not been addressed. This would seem to constitute a significant deficit in the overall research literature, and suggests a gap in the understanding of the conditions and parameters mediating the creative experience. This study examines ontological notions of identity and self-hood, and claims that imaginative and perceptual awareness are heightened as a consequence of cult ural dislocation. The mechanism for this creative amplification is proposed as resulting from increased metaphor generation and an adjustment of temporal perceptions. The influences upon selfhood are illustrated using a constructed 'Model of Reflexive Selfhood', which is viewed through analysis of the participant's oral narratives and visual imagery, using a Narrative and an Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis methodology. The findings indicate that although the participants perceive a unique version of their individual lived experience, identity is constructed through cultural and social interactions, which together with an aspect of self-hood, termed 'Creative Haecceity', mediate creative expression. As postulated, an increased level of awareness impacts upon the self, through a general increase in cognitive activity, thereby enabling a heightened level of creative expression.

description: The Reusability Flight Experiment (ReFEx) aims to demonstrate the technologies necessary for a winged reusable launch vehicle (RLV) in order to drastically reduce launch costs. In a winged RLV this can be done through aerodynamic means and tailored manoeuvres, requiring much less fuel than a propulsive boostback system. The main goal of ReFEx is to demonstrate controlled flight from hypersonic velocities down to subsonic velocities and doing so while maintaining a flight corridor representative of winged RLV. In the case of ReFEx this is equivalent to a low speed, early staging event.
