Girls, empowerment and education: a history of the Mac. Robertson Girls' High School 1905-2005
Creators: name: Parker, Pauline
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: Despite the considerable significance of publicly funded education in the making of Australian society, state school histories are few in number. In comparison, most corporate and private schools have cemented their sense of community and tradition through full-length publications. This history attempts to redress this imbalance. It is an important social history because this school, Mac.Robertson Girls' High School can trace its origins back to 1905, to the very beginnings of state secondary education when the Melbourne Continuation School (MCS), later Melbourne High School (MHS) and Melbourne Girls' high School (MGHS) was established.

Since it is now recognised that there are substantial state, regional and other differences between schools and their local communities, studies of individual schools are needed to underpin more general overviews of particular issues. This history, then, has wider significance: it traces strands of the development of girls' education in Victoria, thus examining the significance and dynamics of single-sex schooling, the education of girls more generally, and, importantly, girls' own experiences (and memories of experiences) of secondary schooling, as well as the meaning they made of those experiences.

'Girls, Education and Empowerment: A History of The Mac.Robertson Girls' High School 1905-2005', departs from traditional models of school history writing that tend to focus on the decision-makers and bureaucrats in education as well as documenting the most 'successful' former students who have made their mark in the world. Drawing on numerous narrative sources and documentary evidence, this history is organised thematically to contextualise and examine what is was like, and meant, to be a girl at this school (Melbourne Continuation School 1905-12; Melbourne High School 1912-27; Melbourne Girls' High School 1927-34, and Mac.Robertson Girls' High School from 1934) during a century of immense social, economic, political and educational change.
title: Öffentlichkeitsarbeit gegen Gewalt an Frauen
Creators: name: Renner, Michaela
Year: 2009

description: Die hier vorliegende Diplomarbeit beschäftigt sich, sowohl theoretisch als auch empirisch, mit der Problematik der häuslichen Gewalt an Frauen und den Möglichkeiten der Öffentlichkeitsarbeit von Schutzeinrichtungen, im Speziellen von Frauenhäusern. Zunächst werden dazu in der Theorie die Grundlagen zum Thema Gewalt, Frauenhäuser und PR erarbeitet. In Folge wird, in Zusammenhang von Öffentlichkeitsarbeit, näher auf die dabei vorhandenen Kommunikationsmöglichkeiten eingegangen. Diese werden schließlich mit der Problematik, die sich im Rahmen häuslicher Gewalt ergibt, diskutiert, um den bestmöglichen Zugang zur Zielgruppe zu finden. Wesentlich ist dabei die Überlegung, warum es schwierig ist betroffene Frauen anzusprechen und die Erkenntnis, welche Barrieren sich auf dem Weg zur Hilfe gegen Gewalt befinden. Ebenfalls von Bedeutung ist die Überlegung, ob sich entweder Massenmedien oder Face-to-Face Kommunikation besser für eine adäquate Ansprache der Betroffenen eignen. Auf diese Punkte ist auch das Interesse der gesamten Forschung ausgerichtet. So liegt das Ziel einerseits dabei zu erkennen, welche Vorurteile häusliche Gewalt und Frauen-häuser betreffend herrschen und andererseits in der Suche nach dem bestmöglichen Weg, über diese Barrieren und die bestehenden Hilfsmöglichkeiten zu informieren. Bereits im theoretischen Teil kann darauf hingedeutet werden, dass massenmediale Kommunikation zwar in der Lage ist eine große Anzahl an Menschen anzusprechen und diese innerhalb kürzester Zeit zu informieren, jedoch birgt Face-to-Face Kommunikation eher das Potenzial einstellungsverändernd zu arbeiten. Gerade diese Eigenschaft ist im Rahmen sämtlicher Barrieren, die sich im Leben von Frauen, die von häuslicher Gewalt betroffen sind, aufbauen, existenziell. In der empirischen Untersuchung kann zunächst jedoch gezeigt werden, dass Vorurteile und somit Barrieren auf dem Weg aus der häuslichen Gewalt noch immer existent sind. Aber auch die Erkenntnis, dass Face-to-Face Kommunikation durchaus das Potenzial bereithält Vorurteile zumindest teilwei-se aus dem Weg zu räumen und Gespräche anzuregen, kann im Rahmen der Untersuchungen weiter angedeutet werden. Schlussendliches Fazit dieser Diplomarbeit ist es aber, dass jeder erdenkliche Weg genützt werden sollte, von Gewalt Betroffene, möglicherweise auch über MultiplikatorInnen, anzusprechen, da es immer um Menschenleben geht und, ein wenig plakativ formuliert, wenn eine Fernsehwerbung nur eines davon retten könnte, wäre sie die Investition wert.

description: Background: Farmers show high levels of depressive symptoms and mental health problems in various studies. This study is part of a nationwide prevention project carried out by a German social insurance company for farmers, foresters, and gardeners (SVLFG) to implement internet- and tele-based services among others to improve mental health in this population. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the (cost-)effectiveness of personalized tele-based coaching for reducing depressive symptom severity and preventing the onset of clinical depression, compared to enhanced treatment as usual. Methods: In a two-armed, pragmatic randomized controlled trial (N = 312) with follow-ups at post-treatment (6 months), 12 and 18 months, insured farmers, foresters, and gardeners, collaborating family members and pensioners with elevated depressive symptoms (PHQ-9 ≥ 5) will be randomly allocated to personalized tele-based coaching or enhanced treatment as usual. The coaching is provided by psychologists and consists of up to 34 tele-based sessions for 25–50 min delivered over 6 months. Primary outcome is depressive symptom severity at post-treatment. Secondary outcomes include depression onset, anxiety, stress, and quality of life. A health-economic evaluation will be conducted from a societal perspective. Discussion: This study is the first pragmatic randomized controlled trial evaluating the (cost-)effectiveness of a nationwide tele-based preventive service for farmers. If proven effective, the implementation of personalized tele-based coaching has the potential to reduce disease burden and health care costs both at an individual and societal level.

Decolourisation of secondary-treated effluent by advanced oxidation processes (AOPs)
Creators: name: Puspita, Prita
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: This research explored the application of Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs) involving UV irradiation, ozone and hydrogen peroxide in various combinations and concentrations for the removal of colour from secondary-treated effluent which was sourced from a local wastewater treatment plant for the purpose of increasing the potential of its recycling. The impact of these processes on the subsequent properties of the water was also studied.

The findings indicated that UV- and ozone-based processes have the potential to be employed as an advanced treatment of secondary-treated effluent, particularly for the removal of colour. While ozonation is clearly superior in terms of decolourisation and lower energy requirement, UV/H2O2 resulted in greater mineralisation although it requires the addition of chemical. In general, these treatments generated lower molecular weight by-products that are more biodegradable than the parent compound, indicating that integration with a downstream biological unit would enhance the effectiveness for overall treatment while at the same time reducing the energy requirement. When sequential ozone and UV/H2O2 treatment was applied, although there was no improvement observed for colour removal, a synergistic effect was observed in terms of DOC, COD and A254 reductions.

Investigation of the kinetics of these processes revealed that first order and parallel first order kinetics can be used to model the loss of colour, A254, DOC, fluorescent humic and fulvic acid-like matter. Preliminary study of the effect of these processes on the formation of nitrogenous DBPs (nitrosamines and haloacetonitriles) suggested that these processes have the potential to reduce the formation of the hazardous N-DBPs.

The substantial increase in the biodegradability of the treated effluent implies that these processes should not be used as a standalone treatment, but rather as a pre-treatment to convert non-biodegradable organics to biodegradable compounds. Hence, integration with biological treatment would be beneficial due to its ability to further remove the oxidation byproducts which were otherwise refractory, its low operating and capital cost, and capacity to reduce the concentration of harmful disinfection by-products.

description: CXCR4 expression and downstream signaling have been identified as key factors in malignant hematopoiesis. Thus, up to 40% of all patients with Waldenström’s macroglobulinemia (WM) carry an activating mutation of CXCR4 that leads to a more aggressive clinical course and inferior outcome upon treatment with the Bruton’s tyrosine kinase inhibitor ibrutinib. Nevertheless, little is known about physiological mechanisms counteracting CXCR4 signaling in hematopoietic neoplasms. Recently, the endogenous human peptide EPI-X4 was identified as a natural CXCR4 antagonist that effectively blocks CXCL12-mediated receptor internalization and suppresses the migration and invasion of cancer cells towards a CXCL12 gradient. Here, we demonstrate that EPI-X4 efficiently binds to CXCR4 of WM cells and decreases their migration towards CXCL12. The CXCR4 inhibitory activity of EPI-X4 is accompanied by reduced expression of genes involved in MAPK signaling and energy metabolism. Notably, the anti-WM activity of EPI-X4 could be further augmented by the rational design of EPI-X4 derivatives showing higher binding affinity to CXCR4. In summary, these data demonstrate that a naturally occurring anti-CXCR4 peptide is able to interfere with WM cell behaviour, and that optimized derivatives of EPI-X4 may represent a promising approach in suppressing growth promoting CXCR4 signaling in WM.
title: "The war game" - Dem Schrecken auf der Spur
Creators: name: Grohs, Markus Oliver

description: Es gibt Filme, die einen Realitätseffekt beim Rezipienten hervorrufen können. Das Entstehen dieses Effekts wird in der Medienwissenschaft der Verwendung von sogenannten dokumentarischen Bildern zugesprochen. Meine Untersuchung beschäftigt sich mit der möglichen Entstehung dieses Realitätseffekts. Der Medienwissenschaftler Peter Wuss entwickelte ein kognitives Modell zur Invariantenbildung perzeptionsgesteuerter Strukturen. Diese sind laut Wuss Bedingung für das Entstehen von Authentie. Sie können allerdings nur entstehen, wenn die Information unterschiedlich prägnant dem Rezipienten offeriert wird. Der Mediendramaturg Erich Dworak erstellte dagegen ein Wertesystem für die Prägnanz von audiovisuellen Angeboten im Laufbildmedium. Dieses System setzt die Prägnanzgesetze der Kognitionspsychologie in dramaturgische Umsetzungsmöglichkeiten um. Mein Versuch war es, sowohl das Perzeptions-Konzeptions-Stereotypen-Modell (PKS-Modell) von Wuss, als auch das Gesamt- und Teilgestalten-Prägnanz-Modell von Dworak für die Filmanalyse zu adaptieren, dass beide miteinander korrespondieren. So können die realitätsstiftenden Bild- und Tonangebote durch den Wechsel ihrer Prägnanzwertigkeiten und der Lokalisierung der perzeptionsgeleiteten Struktur durch mehrmalige Wiederholung in der Analyse visualisierbar gemacht werden. Ein Weg, den die jüngere Film- und Fernsehanalyse gerade zu beschreiten begonnen hat. Um eine Überprüfung der Tauglichkeit in der Analyse anstellen zu können, wurde eine Fake-Dokumentation der Vergangenheit, THE WAR GAME (1965), ausgesucht. In einer Systematischen Filmanalyse wurde die Geschichte des Films aufgezeigt und die Rezensionen über mehrere Jahrzehnte dargestellt, weil dieser Film als besonders realistisch und wegen seiner Fatalität als zu erschreckend für den Zuschauer vor über 40 Jahren galt. Zwei weitere Filme mit der gleichen Thematik, ein Atombombenangriff auf Großbritannien, wurden als Vergleich in der Vermittlungsstrategie bezüglich des Realtitätseffekts unter Berücksichtigung der beiden oben genannten Modelle untersucht. Die Untersuchung der Filme ergab deutliche Unterschiede in der Vermittlungsstrategie und der Vermittlungsabsicht. Dies konnte auch grafisch deutlich sichtbar gemacht werden. Diese Arbeit soll einen Beitrag zur Weiterentwicklung der kognitiven Filmanalyse und deren Visualisierung darstellen.
Towards understanding the influence of physio-chemical environment on biological synthesis of inorganic materials
Creators: name: Ramanathan, Rajesh
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: Mother Nature is replete with mechanisms that enable self-assembly at the nanoscale to produce a myriad of inorganic materials with precise dimensions, controlled morphology and high complexity from the assemblage of many smaller and simpler components. This has triggered multidisciplinary research at the threshold where biology meets chemistry and physics. The formulation of these nanostructures appears simple, yet is achieved using complex biochemical pathways. Elucidating the complexity of Nature’s artwork has long been a source of inspiration for materials scientists. The attempt at designing strategies to create inorganic nanomaterials has led to the development of biological ‘Green’ synthesis routes over the past decade or so. This approach typically encompasses biosynthesis (use of live organisms) and biomimetic (use of biomacromolecules) routes and has revolutionised the aspect of nanoparticle synthesis. The challenge now lies in understanding the underlying principles/mechanisms employed by nature towards the synthesis and assembly of these technologically important nanomaterials into complex 3D morphologies.

Although biological routes have been well-studied, the role of physico-chemical environment during the synthesis of nanomaterials is still a relatively unexplored niche wherein there is limited or no information. The main objective of this research is to understand the critical role of physico-chemical environment during biological synthesis of materials that would help elucidate the complex supramolecular chemistry involved in the formation of the intricate and ornate morphologies. This research would, in a nutshell, provide information on some of the underlying fundamental principles employed by Nature during the synthesis and assembly of bioinorganic nanomaterials.

The research work outlined herein is split into two distinct aspects that typically involve biosynthesis (metallic silver and copper nanoparticles) and biomimetic synthesis (silica particles). Although the two aspects concentrate on different systems, essentially the common theme of the important role of physico-chemical environments in controlling biomineral morphologies links the different chapters of this thesis.
Prey-driven control of aquatic beetle predator assemblages

Publisher: name: F1000Research
Year: 2017

description: Trophic interactions are critical determinants of community structure and ecosystem function. In freshwater habitats, top predators are traditionally viewed as drivers of ecosystem structure, shaping populations of consumers and primary producers. The temporary nature of small water bodies makes them dependent on colonization by many organisms, particularly insects that form highly diverse predator assemblages. We conducted two mesocosm experiments to assess how prey (zooplankton) abundances influenced colonization and assemblages of natural populations of aquatic beetles. In the first experiment we removed zooplankton from mesocosms weekly via water changes, whereas in the second experiment we inoculated mesocosms with zooplankton, and both experiments had unmanipulated controls. We collected colonizing adult aquatic beetles weekly, which were identified to species, and periodically assayed zooplankton populations.

Our results from both experiments showed that adult predaceous diving beetles (Dytiscidae) preferentially colonized mesocosms with higher abundances of zooplankton, whereas abundances of the omnivorous water scavenger beetles (Hydrophilidae) did not differ between treatments in both experiments. In the first experiment when we removed zooplankton via water changes, dytiscids preferentially colonized the control mesocosms throughout the duration of the water changes and for over one month after water changes ended, once zooplankton abundances in both treatments equilibrated. In the inoculation experiment, dytiscids again initially preferentially colonized inoculated pools, with colonization of the two treatments converging as zooplankton abundances converged.

In both experiments, differential colonization of mesocosms by dytiscids, higher species richness in mesocosms with abundant zooplankton, and species-specific responses to zooplankton abundances generated distinct beetle assemblages between treatments. We experimentally demonstrate that zooplankton populations can be proximate regulators of predator populations and assemblages via prey density-dependent predator recruitment. Our results provide support for the importance of prey populations in structuring predator populations and the role of habitat selection in structuring communities. We indicate that traditional views of predators as drivers of ecosystem structure in many systems may not provide a comprehensive picture, particularly in the context of highly disturbed or ephemeral habitats.

description: Scholarly understanding of human migration’s environmental dimensions has greatly advanced in the past several years, motivated in large part by public and policy dialogue around “climate migrants”. The research presented here advances current demographic scholarship both through its substantive interpretations and conclusions, as well as its methodological approach. We examine temporary rural South African outmigration as related to household-level availability of proximate natural resources. Such “natural capital” is central to livelihoods in the region, both for sustenance and as materials for market-bound products. The results demonstrate that the association between local environmental resource availability and outmigration is, in general, positive: households with higher levels of proximate natural capital are more likely to engage in temporary migration. In this way, the general findings support the “environmental surplus” hypothesis that resource security provides a foundation from which households can invest in migration as a livelihood strategy. Such insight stands in contrast to popular dialogue, which tends to view migration as a last resort undertaken only by the most vulnerable households. As another important insight, our findings demonstrate important spatial variation, complicating attempts to generalize migration-environment findings across spatial scales. In our rural South African study site, the positive association between migration and proximate resources is actually highly localized, varying from strongly positive in some villages to strongly negative in others. We explore the socio-demographic factors underlying this “operational scale sensitivity”. The cross-scale methodologies applied here offer nuance unavailable within more commonly used global regression models, although also introducing complexity that complicates story-telling and inhibits generalizability.

description: TABstaff+ is a hybrid music notation developed for gridbased user interfaces. The system builds on notational elements and conventions of tablature, standard five-line staff notation, and chord diagrams. TABstaff+ strives to facilitate teaching and learning, composition and production, and performance using grid-based tangible user interfaces (TUIs) and graphical user interfaces (GUIs). For usability testing, the study involved seven participants, music production and composition students (ages 13 to 19) with prior musical experience. The paper considers the Ableton Push instrument to illustrate the application and adaptability of the TAB+, Staff+, and Charts+ notation systems. These notation systems aim to further the development of postdigital practices by leveraging Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and pre-digital practices of reading, playing, and teaching music using instruments and notation. TABstaff+ aims to be a transferable music notation system that allows educators and practicing musicians to utilize the pedagogical and creative capabilities of musical grid interfaces.

description: Recycling of e-waste (waste electrical and electronic equipment) represents an important abatement of pressure on the environment, but recycling rates are still low. This study builds on common environmental economics approaches to identify the main driving forces of the e-waste recycling rate. The environmental Kuznets curve hypothesis was applied in the context of the STIRPAT (stochastic impacts by regression on population, affluence and technology) model to analyze data from 30 European countries over the period 2008–2018. Panel quantile regression was conducted to determine the relationship between e-waste recycling rate and economic growth, population, population density, energy intensity, energy efficiency, credit to private sector and e-waste collected. Strong evidence was found that the relationship between economic growth and e-waste recycling rate is an N-shaped curve, i.e., the e-waste recycling rate first increases with economic growth, then decreases in maturing economies and in mature economies starts increasing again as the economy continues to grow. In addition to the economic development stage of a country, e-waste collection was identified as an important determinant of the e-waste recycling rate, regardless of whether the already achieved recycling rate was low, medium or high. In all models, a rise of the collected e-waste quantity was linked to an increase in the recycling rate. Therefore, expanding e-waste collection represents a priority task for policy makers to achieve high e-waste recycling rates. Population, energy intensity and credit to private sector also had an impact and in tendency displayed a negative effect on the e-waste recycling rate; however, the impact of these variables was more relevant for countries with particularly low e-waste recycling rates.

Some exotic gapless states in insulating and conducting many-body systems
Creators: name: Zuniga Frias, Francisco
Publisher: name: The University of St Andrews
Year: 2025
Subjects: Spin-1
Tensor networks
Non-Fermi liquids

description: This thesis investigates two distinct classes of gapless, strongly correlated quantum systems. In the first part of this thesis, we examine quantum spin-1 systems, which allow for non-geometric frustration between bilinear and biquadratic interactions. For these systems, frustration leads to a rich phase diagram hosting exotic spin nematic phases with highly entangled ground states near SU(3)-symmetric points. We use tensor network renormalisation group methods to study the phase diagram of the spin-1 bilinear biquadrati cHeisenberg model with focus on the phase transitions nearSU(3)-symmetric points. Tensor network renormalisation methods are helpful in the study of both non-critical and critical phases and give insight to new mechanisms of spin-nematic phases and exotic ground states. In the second part of this thesis, we study non-Fermi liquids, characterised by the absence of quasiparticles and unusual symmetries. Based on the recent conjecture that non-Fermi liquids have an emergent loop-U(1) group at the IR, we show the essential tools to quantise a loop-U(1)group. Using coadjoint orbits and their quantisation as the technology of choice, we propose a modest approach that might be helpful in the more profound problem of understanding the phenomenology of non-Fermi liquids.

title: Satire oder Sakrileg?
Creators: name: Großschedl, Birgit Christine
Year: 2009

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit beschäft sich vor dem Hintergrund des Bilderstreits um die Mohammed-Karikaturen mit rezipientenorientierten Aspekten. Mit Hilfe eines Fragebogens soll ermittelt werden, ob kulturspezifische Unterschiede in der Bewertung religiöser Karikaturen abhängig von der Religionszugehörigkeit existieren. Zur Zielgruppe gehörren Muslime, Christen und Atheisten. Im Frragebogen werden deshalb unter anderem jeweils zwei christlich religiöse, muslimisch religiöse und religionsneutrale Karikaturendargestellt, die anhand von semantischen Differentialen beurteilt werden müssen. 132 Personen nahmen an der Untersuchung teil. Eine statistische Analysen des sich aus den Fragebögen ergebenden Datenmaterials brachte zahlreiche signifiknate Ergebnisse. Es lässt sich die Tendenz erkennen, das Muslime grundsätzlich alles am kritischsten beurteilten, dann folgten gläubige Christen und erst ganz am Schluss - am unkritischsten - die Atheisten und nicht-praktizierende Christen. Interessant ist, dass Muslime auch chr. rel. Karikaturen kritischer beurteilten als gläiubige Christen selbst. Um die Ergebnisse besser verstehen und interpretieren zu können habe ich mich bereits vor der Untersuchung mit den relevanten Dimensionen der Rezeption theoretisch beschäftigt. Diese Dimensionen fanden sich zum Teil im Fragebogen etwa als Konstrukte zu Gewalt, Moral, Integration, Toleranz, Mediennutzung, Demokratie, Aotoritarismus ... Einen guten theoretischen Hintergrund zur Erklärung der Rezeption liefern unterschiedliche Humortheorien.
title: Using serious leisure theory to explore the experiences of people walking the Camino

Subjects: subject: flow experience
subject: serious leisure

description: This study aims to investigate the differences in flow experiences between individuals walking alone and those walking with companions along the Camino de Santiago in Spain. The researcher conducted fieldwork in Arzúa, Spain, collecting both questionnaires and implementing interviews directly along the pilgrimage route. A mixed-methods approach was used, dividing participants into two groups: those walking alone and those walking with companions. Quantitative data were collected using the Flow State Questionnaire, with ANOVA and U-tests employed to determine if there were significant differences in flow experiences between the two groups. Semi structured interviews served as the primary source for qualitative data, which were subsequently coded and categorized to reduce single-method bias and to enhance cross validation. Results showed that solo walkers experienced higher flow across all nine dimensions compared to those walking with companions. However, statistically significant differences emerged specifically in the dimensions of “transformation of time,” “action-awareness merging,” “autotelic experience,” and “feedback.” Qualitative data further highlighted that walking alone allowed individuals to concentrate more fully on the act of walking, enriching their overall experience. The study also found that religious factors influence flow on the Camino, with Catholics having higher flow experiences levels compared to non-Catholics or those without religious affiliations. Additionally, from the perspective of serious leisure theory, long distance hiking on the Camino can indeed be categorized as a form of serious leisure, enhancing both the sense of achievement and the personal growth of participants.

Persuasions of memory : the metamorphosis of memory in the precious object
Creators: name: Miller-Yule, Melissa
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: This project takes the portrayal of memory in wearable jewellery and jewellery object making in two directions. The relationship between memory and the experiences it represents is revealed within the singular jewellery object through structural, iconographical, or material relationships among elements of the object. Reinterpretations of the original primary jewellery object result in series of jewellery objects and wearable jewellery that express ideas about the altering of memory. Jewellery objects with removable wearable jewellery components act as memory models, revealing ideas about memory processes through the relationships among their elements. The juxtaposition of soft and hard materials is used as a metaphor of memory.

The result of the project is a body of work consisting of wearable jewellery and jewellery objects1 which manifest ideas about memory; specifically, the relationship between memory and the experiences it represents. The work draws on traditions in the gold- and silversmithing field of creating objects to be used as signifiers of memories3 and mnemonic devices. The primary aim of the project is not to create direct representations of personal memories or collections of found objects that represent cultural histories. Instead, the work engages in a visual and tactile exploration of memory itself: the processes of remembering experiences and the alteration of memory over time. Series of jewellery objects and wearable jewellery reveal ideas about the relationship between memory and experience both within singular objects and among altered objects in series.
