Abstract
We talk freely about online access within the cultural heritage sector, but the politics of access are complex. The supposed democratising effects of easy access to cultural collections are undercut by economic inequalities and technological barriers. The nature of open access is challenged by Indigenous groups seeking to gain or maintain control over their own culture. The meaning of access is also defined by legislative frameworks that control the release of government information.
Under the Australian Archives Act 1983 most Commonwealth records are opened to public scrutiny after twenty years (this was reduced from thirty years in 2010). But the Act also defines 'exempt' records that can be withheld from the public for a variety of reasons, including the defence of national security, and the protection of individual privacy. Access under the Act is not an inevitable destination, but a process that may result in records with the access status of 'closed'.
This paper reports on research into the nature of 'closed access' within the holdings of the National Archives of Australia.
Basic metadata describing 'closed' files is available through the National Archives' online database RecordSearch; although in some cases even the file's title is too sensitive to release. However, the RecordSearch interface is limited, making it impossible, for example, to search for files by categories of exemption as defined under the Act. To allow for more detailed analysis, the metadata of more than 10,000 closed files was harvested from RecordSearch by screenscraping.
This paper will analyse the metadata to reveal, for example, the picture of 'national security' that emerges from the records supposed to threaten it. Notably, many records are not 'closed' under the categories defined by the Archives Act at all, with the fate of a significant proportion waiting upon advice from other government agencies.
This illustrates the paper's central argument, that access is best understood as a process, rather than a state. 'Closed access' is a convenient story that emerges at the intersection of political policy and bureaucratic practice. Understanding the complexities of this process enables us to demonstrate the constructed nature of information systems that limit our ability to scrutinise the workings of government.
In a world where the idea of the 'secret' still holds immense cultural power, it is important to reveal how 'secrets' are manufactured through bureaucratic systems of classification and control.

description: Motion has been shown to generate a front-back axis in objects that people can use to talk aboutobject location: e.g., the red billiard ball is following the white billiard ball. However, we have onlyrecently become to understand some of the factors that generate a front-back axis during motion(Coventry & Frias-Lindquist, 2005). We investigated the relative contribution of three factors:Translation, the co-ordinate changes of objects through space, Intrinsic Motion, the motion of objectparts (e.g., turning wheels), and Motion Control, whether the co-ordinate changes are self-governedor externally imposed (Coventry & Garrod, 2004). Participants were asked to indicate theacceptability of the prepositions in front of and behind, and the verbs leading and following, whilewatching scenes of two moving objects through a virtual reality headset. Acceptability scores andreaction times showed that translation contributed most, followed by intrinsic motion and motioncontrol in the generation of a front-back axis. Verbs appeared to be more sensitive to motion controlthan prepositions. We explain the results in terms of inference generating a weaker, but quickerfront-back axis when there is a lack of translation and motion control having a larger role in endpointassignment rather than front-back axis generation.

description: The aim of the research was to explore the effect of teaching sociology through transformational pedagogical practices on the student learning experiences in an English FE College as well as the experience of teachers making use of transformation teaching practices. The research project was grounded in literature on the critical theory of teaching and learning (Freire 1996, hooks 1994, Allman 2010, Amsler 2014, Canaan, 2010, McLaren 2006, Neary 2012, Roggero 2011). A key feature of transformational teaching practice and the social theory that underpins it is the emphasis on the power of human agency and the ability of individuals to transform their own historical and material conditions. The qualitative research methods used reflect the power of human subjectivity and included narrative life stories and semi-structured interviews. Twenty seven participants took part in the research consisting of 15 current, and 5 former Sociology Undergraduates and 7 teachers on the programme, including myself. This work was done at the HE Institution where I work as a lecturer. The research was written in an innovative, humanised style in order to reflect the on-going and developmental praxis associated with critical and transformational teaching practices.

description: Cell replacement therapy in Parkinson’s disease (PD) has put emphasis on developing methods for efficient differentiation of human stem or progenitor cells into mesencephalic dopaminergic (mesDA) neurons. Previous clinical trials have indeed shown that using human fetal ventral midbrain (hVM) can restore DA release and provide long-term clinical improvement PD patients. There is now a need to move to large-scale clinical applications with the use of renewable cell sources such as human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs). When optimizing protocols for human mesDA neuron differentiation in vitro from human stem cell, the accurate characterization of DA neuron progenitors and how they mature in vivo and in vitro is of highest interest. In this context, hVM tissue represent the gold standard and several studies have compared gene and protein expression of human fetal DA progenitors with that of stem cell derived DA progenitors. However, it is difficult to maintain the fetal DA neurons in primary cell culture to further study their subtype specificity and functional maturation and there is a need for better in vitro model system. In this study, we therefore developed a method for differentiating human fetal tissue into three-dimensional (3D) culture system providing an opportunity to understand hVM progenitors expansion and differentiation in a physiologically relevant cellular context and to better obtain functional maturity of fetal neurons. By combining single-cell RNAseq analysis at different timepoints we reconstructed human VM development in vitro and compared the molecular profiles of fetal organoids with conventional 2D culture. Immunocytochemistry analysis and electrophysiological measurements were performed to examine and compare functional maturation of the DA neurons in both culture conditions. We show that the 3D model better preserves the global neuronal composition, maintains higher expression of dopamine genes in the short and long-term period and limits the skewing toward non neuronal cells than traditional 2D culture. By measuring the electrophysiological activity of dopamine neurons over the time we confirm that 3D cultures recapitulates the complex environment and function of dopaminergic circuitries leading to long-term maturation of authentic and functional fetal hVM.

description: Europe's new Copyright Directive includes a mandatory text and data mining (TDM) exception for non-commercial research. This opens up new opportunities for libraries to support researchers in this exciting new area of work. In this webinar, held on 12 March 2020 and organised by LIBER's Copyright & Legal Matters Working Group, two LIBER libraries share what they are doing to help researchers access and analyse more content through text and data mining. After a short introduction to the topic from Ben White (Working Group Chair / researcher at the Centre for Intellectual Property Policy & Management, Bournemouth University), Inge Van Nieuwerburgh (Scholarly Communication Coordinator at Ghent University Library) speaks about the development of research data management services at the university and how the library was involved from the beginning. Inge says, "Facilitating open knowledge creation is the beating heart of Ghent University Library activities. On top of many activities in open science, the library is actively involved in OpenAIRE, which just recently released a consultation for its research graph, built on huge text and data mining efforts. Since the fall of 2019, six data stewards are embedded in the library to support researchers to make their data FAIR, thus minable. They act as a knowledge and communication hub and provide professional support for managing research data. The team will contribute to a cultural change in the approach of FAIR data, open data and data reuse, targeting University of Ghent researchers." Next, Alex Fenlon (Head of Copyright and Licence in Library Services at the University of Birmingham) explains how a researcher’s text and data mining project in 2015 led the University of Birmingham’s library to start providing services such as enabling access to content for mining purposes. Alex says, "The library is now running a pilot project which aims to proactively support researchers with their text and data mining projects, and to encourage researchers to engage in this space. As the service is built up, three main questions are being asked: What is needed? Who is needed? Is it needed?" The presentation also shines a light on the University of Birmingham's approach to licensing: ensuring content subscriptions are fit for purpose, providing data access via various means and leveraging copyright limitations and exceptions to enable research. Finally, Alex discusses the skills needed by librarians and researchers, highlighting gaps that may need to be addressed in order to further this developing research method.

description: Parkinson’s disease (PD), one of the most common neurodegenerative disorders, is characterized by a progressive loss of dopamine (DA) neurons in the ventral midbrain (VM). The inability of two-dimensional (2D) in vitro cultures to recapitulate the complexity of the architecture and cell composition has made the study of human VM challenging. Despite intensive research efforts, the molecular mechanisms controlling both the development and functional maturation of DA neuron subtypes remains largely unknown. In this study, we designed a new method for expanding and differentiating human fetal cells dissociated from the VM of 7-9 weeks old human embryos. We developed a three-dimensional (3D) organoid culture system with the aim to better preserve authentic and functional DA neurons in vitro. Using fetal-derived organoids as valuable reference, we also conducted a comparison between fetal-derived and human embryonic stem cell (hESC)-derived VM organoids. Using single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) we compared human fetal cells from 2D and 3D in vitro culture systems. Despite the analysis showing that both cell preparations initially gave rise the same culture composition, the 2D system promoted proliferation of glial and oligodendrocyte progenitors, with limited surviving neuronal populations. On the contrary, 3D organoids could sustain the maturation of the neuronal population, and importantly maintained the dopaminergic neuronal compartment. Intriguingly, we have also found clear differences between fetal and hESC-derived organoids at the single cell resolution. While both cell preparations gave rise to neurons, we found that astrocytes and oligodendrocytes were detected only in fetal organoids whereas a barrier forming fibroblast-like cell type normally present in the brain was identified as a unique component of hES-derived organoids during late stage differentiation. Taken together these results represent an important step in characterizing both fetal derived- and hESC-derived authentic dopaminergic neurons through the use of novel 3D-culture conditions which better recapitulates the features of human ventral midbrain.

description: The development of coherent missing data models to account for nonmonotone missing at random (MAR) data by inverse probability weighting (IPW) remains to date largely unresolved. As a consequence, IPW has essentially been restricted for use only in monotone MAR settings. We propose a class of models for nonmonotone missing data mechanisms that spans the MAR model, while allowing the underlying full data law to remain unrestricted. For parametric specifications within the proposed class, we introduce an unconstrained maximum likelihood estimator for estimating the missing data probabilities which is easily implemented using existing software. To circumvent potential convergence issues with this procedure, we also introduce a constrained Bayesian approach to estimate the missing data process which is guaranteed to yield inferences that respect all model restrictions. The efficiency of standard IPW estimation is improved by incorporating information from incomplete cases through an augmented estimating equation which is optimal within a large class of estimating equations. We investigate the finite-sample properties of the proposed estimators in extensive simulations and illustrate the new methodology in an application evaluating key correlates of preterm delivery for infants born to HIV-infected mothers in Botswana, Africa.

description: We propose a new copula model that can be used with replicated spatial data. Unlike the multivariate normal copula, the proposed copula is based on the assumption that a common factor exists and affects the joint dependence of all measurements of the process. Moreover, the proposed copula can model tail dependence and tail asymmetry. The model is parameterized in terms of a covariance function that may be chosen from the many models proposed in the literature, such as the Matérn model. For some choice of common factors, the joint copula density is given in closed form and therefore likelihood estimation is very fast. In the general case, one-dimensional numerical integration is needed to calculate the likelihood, but estimation is still reasonably fast even with large datasets. We use simulation studies to show the wide range of dependence structures that can be generated by the proposed model with different choices of common factors. We apply the proposed model to spatial temperature data and compare its performance with some popular geostatistics models. Supplementary materials for this article are available online.

description: Variable selection for models including interactions between explanatory variables often needs to obey certain hierarchical constraints. Weak or strong structural hierarchy requires that the existence of an interaction term implies at least one or both associated main effects to be present in the model. Lately, this problem has attracted a lot of attention, but existing computational algorithms converge slow even with a moderate number of predictors. Moreover, in contrast to the rich literature on ordinary variable selection, there is a lack of statistical theory to show reasonably low error rates of hierarchical variable selection. This work investigates a new class of estimators that make use of multiple group penalties to capture structural parsimony. We show that the proposed estimators enjoy sharp rate oracle inequalities, and give the minimax lower bounds in strong and weak hierarchical variable selection. A general-purpose algorithm is developed with guaranteed convergence and global optimality. Simulations and real data experiments demonstrate the efficiency and efficacy of the proposed approach.

description: This thesis explores the educational inclusion experiences of children with Williams syndrome (WS) in Irish primary schools from the perspectives of the children, their parents and teachers. Almost equal numbers of parents chose mainstream and special-education placements for their child with WS, although this choice was complex. Parents were very satisfied with their child’s education regardless of setting. Parental and teacher perceptions of the WS educational profile differed little. Teachers presented a slightly broader profile, yet showed less awareness than parents of anxiety in the children. Findings indicate a capacity in the children to learn Irish and other languages successfully, despite their entitlement to exemptions from language learning in the Irish educational system. Some features associated with WS (such as sociability) enhance the inclusion of learners with WS, while certain maladaptive behaviours impede it. Evidence suggests that maladaptive behaviours may be caused by high anxiety and poor expression of emotion due to poor comprehension of negative emotions. In addition, these children display more internalizing and self-regulatory behaviours, when parent and teacher data is compared, than has previously been noted in the literature, which may actually negatively impact on the child’s educational inclusion. Both parents and teachers support the children’s learning but teachers’ special education experiences and professional development influenced quality of supports and, hence, quality of educational inclusion. Some strategies used successfully by individual teachers to support learners with WS are those traditionally associated with autism, despite the sociability associated with WS. The children had clear images of themselves as learners and could identify personal learning strengths and challenges. Their liking for physical and social activities may be important aids to concentration, participation and, hence, inclusion.Different interpretations of inclusion were evident from parents and teachers. A definition of inclusion was proposed to compare educational placements. Such a comparison showed that Irish mainstream placements should not necessarily be viewed as the most inclusive educational setting for learners with WS. Consequently, a framework, based on the individual education planning process, proposes a way to maximize the educational inclusion of children with WS, regardless of setting.

La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: We have built a laboratory spectrometer for X-ray emission spectroscopy. The instrument is employed in catalysis research. The key component is a von Hamos full cylinder optic with Highly Annealed Pyrolytic Graphite (HAPG) as a dispersive element. With this very efficient optic, the spectrometer subtends an effective solid angle of detection of around 1 msr, allowing for the analysis of dilute samples. The resolving power of the spectrometer is approximately E/ΔE = 4000, with an energy range of ∼2.3 keV–10 keV. The instrument and its characteristics are described herein. Further, a comparison with a prototype spectrometer, based on the same principle, shows the substantial improvement in the spectral resolution and energy range for the present setup. The paper concludes with a discussion of sample handling. A compilation of HAPG fundamentals and related publications are given in a brief Appendix.
The life, work and artistic context of William Logsdail (1859-1944)
Creators: name: Bush, Julie

Subjects: W100 - Fine art

description: William Logsdail (1859-1944) was a Lincoln born artist. He is largely unknown to the general public and little has been written about him even though he was a successful and prolific artist during his lifetime, as contemporary accounts prove. This is the first comprehensive and modern scholarly account of this artist’s life and work.The thesis is comprised of two sections, plus an appendix of a full, annotated catalogue of the artist’s known works. Part I relates to Logsdail’s life, training and artistic achievements in relation to the cultural environments and circumstances under which he produced his work. The primary evidence for this has come from contemporary articles on the artist, and his own unpublished notebooks, written in later life, which contain details of his life, work and travels.Part II provides an analysis of the stylistic content of Logsdail's work, and of the artistic influences on it from the early stages of his career through to his later portrait works. His work here is considered primarily with regard to contemporary notions of Realism and Impressionism and, by extension of the latter, to 'modernity'. It also explores contemporary critical reviews of Logsdail’s work, both in terms of how it was understood within the wider artistic movements and trends of the time, and to assess Logsdail's contribution to late nineteenth/early twentieth century British art today. Furthermore, the thesis also assesses Logsdail’s portrait work as an area that has been hitherto neglected, thus providing a complete study of the artist, and adding to our understanding of British Portraiture at this time.Appendix I, William Logsdail: Catalogue Raisonné, provides an original catalogue of all known works. This is rare for a British artist of his time and in itself constitutes an original piece of research. This catalogue will hopefully provide a useful source for further research on the artist, his contemporaries, and on British art at that time.

description: Detection and quantification of coccidia in studies of wildlife can be challenging. Therefore, prevalence of coccidia is often not assessed at the parasite species level in non-livestock animals. Parasite species – specific prevalences are especially important when studying evolutionary questions in wild populations. We tested whether increased host population density increases prevalence of individual Eimeria species at the farm level, as predicted by epidemiological theory. We studied free-living commensal populations of the house mouse (Mus musculus) in Germany, and established a strategy to detect and quantify Eimeria infections. We show that a novel diagnostic primer targeting the apicoplast genome (Ap5) and coprological assessment after flotation provide complementary detection results increasing sensitivity. Genotyping PCRs confirm detection in a subset of samples and cross-validation of different PCR markers does not indicate bias towards a particular parasite species in genotyping. We were able to detect double infections and to determine the preferred niche of each parasite species along the distal-proximal axis of the intestine. Parasite genotyping from tissue samples provides additional indication for the absence of species bias in genotyping amplifications. Three Eimeria species were found infecting house mice at different prevalences: Eimeria ferrisi (16.7%; 95% CI 13.2–20.7), E. falciformis (4.2%; 95% CI 2.6–6.8) and E. vermiformis (1.9%; 95% CI 0.9–3.8). We also find that mice in dense populations are more likely to be infected with E. falciformis and E. ferrisi. We provide methods for the assessment of prevalences of coccidia at the species level in rodent systems. We show and discuss how such data can help to test hypotheses in ecology, evolution and epidemiology on a species level.
