The perils of skills: towards a model of integrating graduate attributes into the disciplines
Creators: name: Moore, Timothy

description: The notion of graduate attributes - a surprisingly enduring idea in Australian higher education over the last decade or so - has been useful as a way of requiring academics and administrators to reflect seriously on the nexus between university learning and the demands that graduates will face in their subsequent professional lives. A potential danger of this movement however, is that increasingly these attributes will be thought of as discrete skills to be developed on courses, with a concomitant downgrading of the role of disciplinary content. Manifestations of such a trend are the emergence in recent years of a variety of extra-disciplinary courses such as 'professional writing' and 'critical thinking', as well as a lingering interest in the idea of generic skills testing prior to graduation (e.g., Graduate Skills Assessment test). The main argument of this paper is that if the graduate attributes idea is to continue to be a useful one in the framing of university curricula, it is important that effective ways are found to integrate the development of these attributes within the context of the disciplines. We outline one such method - a possible framework for the analysis and creation of assessment tasks - which, we think, has general applicability to learning in any disciplinary setting. The key element of this framework is the notion of 'role' - which can be used to explore with students (and also confer on them) a range of academic and professional identities.

description: OBJECTIVE: This study analyzed whether area deprivation is associated with disparities in health care of pediatric type 1 diabetes in Germany. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: We selected patients <20 years of age with type 1 diabetes and German residence documented in the "diabetes patient follow-up" (Diabetes-Patienten-Verlaufsdokumentation [DPV]) registry for 2015/2016. Area deprivation was assessed by quintiles of the German Index of Multiple Deprivation (GIMD 2010) at the district level and was assigned to patients. To investigate associations between GIMD 2010 and indicators of diabetes care, we used multivariable regression models (linear, logistic, and Poisson) adjusting for sex, age, migration background, diabetes duration, and German federal state. RESULTS: We analyzed data from 29,284 patients. From the least to the most deprived quintile, use of continuous glucose monitoring systems (CGMS) decreased from 6.3 to 3.4% and use of long-acting insulin analogs from 80.8 to 64.3%, whereas use of rapid-acting insulin analogs increased from 74.7 to 79.0%; average HbA1c increased from 7.84 to 8.07% (62 to 65 mmol/mol), and the prevalence of overweight from 11.8 to 15.5%, but the rate of severe hypoglycemia decreased from 12.1 to 6.9 events/100 patient-years. Associations with other parameters showed a more complex pattern (use of continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion [CSII]) or were not significant. CONCLUSIONS: Area deprivation was associated not only with key outcomes in pediatric type 1 diabetes but also with treatment modalities. Our results show, in particular, that the access to CGMS and CSII could be improved in the most deprived regions in Germany.

description: La presente recherche avait pour but d'explorer la relation entre les preferences typologiques des individus et les fonctions vocationnelles et psychosociales du mentor et ce, pour le groupe de repondantes en general puis pour la categorie de femmes cadres d'une part, d'autre part pour celle des stagiaires en gestion, enfin pour le groupe anglophone et le groupe francophone. De cette recherche se degagent deux elements probants: d'une part que le lien significatif qui emerge s'effectue le plus souvent a partir de la fonction dominante du profil de personnalite du groupe des repondantes, et d'autre part que ce lien significatif vise chez le mentor des fonctions complementaires a la fonction dominante de la protegee. Dans ce cas-ci, il s'agit de la fonction typologique dominante Pensee (T) chez la protegee, selon l'Indicateur typologique Myers-Briggs, et de fonctions psychosociales du mentor. On observe egalement que le lien significatif complementaire entre la fonction dominante du profil de personnalite et les fonctions privilegiees chez le mentor differe pour les deux groupes de femmes, femmes cadres et stagiaires en gestion. Cette difference correspond a des etapes vocationnelles differentes pour chacun des deux groupes. De plus, cette recherche confirme des similarites entre les deux groupes linguistiques de repondantes, c'est-a-dire un lien significatif complementaire entre la fonction rationnelle typologique dominante du groupe et certaines fonctions psychosociales du mentor. Enfin, les commentaires recueillis aupres des repondantes confirment en leurs propres mots l'importance et la valeur que ces femmes accordent a la relation de mentorat en milieu de travail.

description: The disc structure of the Milky Way is marked by a chemical dichotomy, with high-alpha and low-alpha abundance sequences, traditionally identified with the geometric thick and thin discs. This identification is aided by the old ages of the high-alpha stars, and lower average ages of the low-alpha ones. Recent large-scale surveys such as APOGEE have provided a wealth of data on this chemical structure, including showing that an identification of chemical and geometric thick discs is not exact, but the origin of the chemical dichotomy has remained unclear. Here we demonstrate that a dichotomy arises naturally if the early gas-rich disc fragments, leading to some fraction of the star formation occuring in clumps of the type observed in high-redshift galaxies. These clumps have high star formation rate density. They therefore enrich rapidly, moving from the low-alpha to the high-alpha sequence, while more distributed star formation produces the low-alpha sequence. We demonstrate that this model produces a chemically defined thick disc that has many of the properties of the Milky Way's thick disc. Because clump formation is common in high-redshift galaxies, we predict that chemical bimodalities are common in massive galaxies.

description: This thesis describes a first experimental project using a recursive parameter estimation and Kalman filter approach to on-line modelling and prediction of stock market time-series. On-line (real-time) and daily closing price stock data are identified as Box-Jenkins ARIMA models. Differencing is performed to obtain a locally wide sense stationary process which is identified through spectral estimation methods. The initial model parameters are updated on-line via the Recursive Prediction Error algorithm and predictions are performed using the Kalman filter. This approach is studied and compared to the traditional Box-Jenkins SISO approach. The daily stock processes are also modeled as autoregressive processes embedded in white noise, which make an ideal investigation for the Kalman filter.

description: Die hydrologischen Gegebenheiten im Karpatenbecken durchliefen erhebliche Veränderungen in Folge anthropogener Aktivitäten und ihres Einflusses auf die Umwelt. Die Regulierung und Steuerung von Oberflächengewässern führte zu Änderungen in den natürlichen unterirdischen Wassersystemen. Bei den Parametern, die entscheidend dafür sind, welche Plätze für die menschliche Besiedlung nutzbar sind, sind Tiefe und Stabilität des Grundwasserspiegels mindestens ebenso wichtig wie die Verfügbarkeit von Oberflächenwasser. In diesem Beitrag werden die Auswirkungen diskutiert, die die relative Tiefe des Grundwasserspiegels und ihre Veränderungen auf die menschliche Besiedlung hatten, auf der Grundlage der Erkenntnisse aus der vergleichenden Untersuchung der Daten, die aus der Erforschung des mehrperiodigen archäologischen Fundplatzes Balatonkeresztúr-Réti-dűló (Fundplatz M7 / S35) vor[1]liegen, sowie auf Grundlage des statischen Grundwassermodells, das anhand von Daten aus Bohrungen und Surveys im Vorfeld des Baus der Autobahn M7 gewonnen wurde.
description: Hydrological conditions in the Carpathian Basin underwent a significant change in the wake of anthropogenic activities impacting the environment. The regulation and management of surface waters led to changes in the subsurface natural water systems. The depth and stability of the groundwater table are at least as important as the presence of surface water bodies among the parameters determining the locations suitable for human settlement. Discussed here are the effects of the relative groundwater table depth and its movement on human settlement, based on the insights provided by the comparative analysis of the data gained from the investigation of the multi-period archaeological site at Balatonkeresztúr-Réti-dűlő (site M7 / S35) and the static groundwater model constructed from the data provided by mechanical drillings and surveys ahead of the construction of the M7 motorway.

description: In manufacturing and telecommunication systems we often encounter the situation that there are different timescales for the occurrence of events. Thus, to obtain appropriate models we replace quantities that vary faster with their averages, whereas we keep the slower process stochastic. Formulations of this type are commonly used and important in stochastic modeling. In this paper we give a unified approach towards the optimal control of such systems which we will call Stochastic Fluid Programs. We investigate the discounted cost criterion as well as the average cost criterion. Stochastic Fluid Programs are a special class of piecewise deterministic Markov processes with one exception: in our model we allow for constraints on the actions and the process can move along the boundary of the state space. First we will prove that an optimal stationary policy exists for the discounted problem. The optimal stationary policy is the solution of a deterministic control problem. The average cost problem is solved via the vanishing discount approach. Moreover, we show that the value functions in both cases are constrained viscosity solutions of a Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation and derive verification theorems. We apply our results to several examples, e.g. the stochastic single-server scheduling problem and the problem of routing to parallel queues. In a second part we approximate control problems in stochastic queueing networks (which are known to be very hard) by fluid problems which are special (purely deterministic) Stochastic Fluid Programs. The fluid problems are rather easy to solve. We show that the fluid value function provides an asymptotic lower bound on the value function of the stochastic network under fluid scaling. Moreover, we construct a so-called Tracking-Policy for the stochastic queueing network which achieves the lower bound as the fluid scaling parameter tends to infinity. In this case the Tracking-Policy is called asymptotically optimal. This statement is true for multiclass queueing networks and admission and routing problems. The convergence is monotone under some convexity assumptions. The Tracking-Policy approach also shows that a given fluid model solution can be attained as a fluid limit of the original discrete model.

description: Wildfire is a major disturbance that affects large area globally every year. Thus, a better prediction of the likelihood of wildfire occurrence is essential to develop appropriate fire prevention measures. We applied a global negative Binomial (NB) and a geographically weighted negative Binomial regression (GWNBR) models to determine the relationship between wildfire occurrence and its drivers factors in the boreal forests of the Great Xing’an Mountains, northeast China. Using geo-weighted techniques to consider the geospatial information of meteorological, topographic, vegetation type and human factors, we aimed to verify whether the performance of the NB model can be improved. Our results confirmed that the model fitting and predictions of GWNBR model were better than the global NB model, produced more precise and stable model parameter estimation, yielded a more realistic spatial distribution of model predictions, and provided the detection of the impact hotpots of these predictor variables. We found slope, vegetation cover, average precipitation, average temperature, and average relative humidity as important predictors of wildfire occurrence in the Great Xing’an Mountains. Thus, spatially differing relations improves the explanatory power of the global NB model, which does not explain sufficiently the relationship between wildfire occurrence and its drivers. Thus, the GWNBR model can complement the global NB model in overcoming the issue of nonstationary variables, thereby enabling a better prediction of the occurrence of wildfires in large geographical areas and improving management practices of wildfire.
In vivo assessment of the contribution of [alpha]b1- or [bêta]- adrenoceptor stimulation in the development of dietary sodium-induced cardiac hypertrophy in rats.

description: Hypothesis. High sodium diet in rats may induce intermittent sympathetic activation through increasing nighttime water intake, and may enhance cardiac adrenergic responses via an increase in adrenoceptor activity, which may contribute to the development of high sodium diet-induced left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). Method. In conscious WKY rats, resting hemodynamics and after blocking baroreflex by hexamethonium (Hex), hemodynamic responses to $\alpha\sb1$-, or $\beta$-agonist (phenylephrine, Phe, or isoproterenol, Iso), and then ventricular weights and LV dimensions were determined after 1, 2, 4 or 6 wk medium high or high sodium diet (2 or 8% NaCl) with or without ig administration of $\alpha\sb1$- or $\beta$-blockers (60 $mg/kg/day$ terazosin, Tz, 25 or 100 $mg/kg/day$ nadolol, Nd, alone or both Tz and Nd). Discussion. High sodium diet for 2 to 6 wk induces concentric LVH, without changing most resting hemodynamics including LV filling pressures. Vasodilatation by $\beta$-agonist was attenuated and negative chronotropy of $\alpha\sb1$-agonist augmented by a longer salt exposure, which may indicate a decreased vascular $\beta\sb2$- or an increased sinoatrial node $\alpha\sb1$-receptor responses. Effects of ganglionic and adrenergic blockades suggest a salt-augmented sympathetic control on peripheral arterial resistance. Chronic $\alpha\sb1$- and/or $\beta$-blockers failed to prevent the high sodium diet-induced LVH, which suggests that adrenoceptor activation does not play a primary role in evoking this LVH. However, the blockers shifted the LVH from a concentric to an eccentric form, and Tz augmented the salt-increased water intake. It is plausible that a volume overload-induced hypertrophy associated with the blockers may have masked a reduction in the high sodium diet-induced LVH. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

description: In this paper a detailed description of an automated mm-wave antenna measurement setup is given, and gain and directivity measurement results are shown for a standard gain horn antenna and an integrated antenna at 280 GHz. The setup comprises a vector network analyzer (VNA) with frequency converters for different frequency bands, a six degree of freedom industrial robot, and a controller that provides the interface and controls the measurements. This setup makes it possible to measure gain, directivity, radiated power, and efficiency of both waveguide fed and integrated chip antennas at frequencies between 60 GHz and 330GHz with high accuracy. Furthermore, the setup is highly configurable. Arbitrary trajectories on arbitrary planes around the AUT (antenna under test) can be measured quickly without having to change any hardware.

description: Ultradiffuse galaxies (UDGs) are a population of extended galaxies but with relatively low luminosities. The origin of these objects remains unclear, largely due to the observational challenges of the low surface brightness Universe. We present here a detailed stellar population analysis of a relatively isolated UDG, DGSAT I, based on spectroscopic data from the Keck Cosmic Web Imager integral field unit. The star formation history of DGSAT I seems to be extended, with a mean luminosity-weighted age of similar to 3 Gyr, in agreement with previous photometric studies. However, we find a very high [Mg/Fe] abundance ratio, which is extreme even in the context of the highly alpha-enhanced massive ellipticals and ultrafaint dwarfs. The [Mg/Fe] enhancement of DGSAT I appears to be 10 times higher than the most magnesium-enhanced stellar systems discovered to date, and suggests that the chemical enrichment of this object was dominated by core-collapse supernovae. Intriguingly, this breaks the canonical relation between [Mg/Fe] and star formation time-scale. With a measured velocity dispersion of 56 +/- 10 km s(-1), DGSAT I also shows a high-mass-to-light ratio, which indicates that it is highly dark matter dominated. The metal-poor conditions of DGSAT I may have enhanced the formation of massive stars, while at the same time, additional mechanisms are needed to prevent iron-rich yields from being recycled into stars. These results suggest that some UDGs could have experienced chemical enrichment episodes similar to the first building blocks of galaxies.

description: The percentage of votes cast by postal voting increases with every election for the German federal parliament (Bundestag). However, especially compared to Internet voting, concerns regarding security, transparency, and trustworthiness of postal voting are rarely discussed. This paper outlines the established process of postal voting in Germany and evaluates it with regard to various security-relevant characteristics. For this evaluation, a methodology originally developed for Internet voting is used in order to ensure comparability. The aim is to identify weaknesses as well as potential for optimization, to compare German postal voting with selected Internet voting schemes, and to derive implications for policy and further research.
Some phenomenological aspects of jet induced turbulence.

Subjects: subject: Engineering, Chemical.

description: Turbulence, induced by transverse and inclined air jets, in an air stream flowing in a four inch square duct at 138-250 feet per second, was studied, Flow patterns were constructed from four hundred velocity profiles measured at various distances from the injector wall and at numerous positions upstream and downstream from the injector under different experimental conditions. The pattern indicates a steady widening of the jet, a curving motion, with the lower portion forming a vortex in the wake. The upper part of the jet widens out, slows down and reaches mainstream velocity farther down the duct. A method for predicting the shape of the upper bounding streamline was developed from two-dimensional potential flow theory and a penetration correlation with exponents deduced from the results in this study. The shape of the lower bounding streamline and the vortex can be predicted by a logarithmic elliptical spiral using constants determined in this investigation. The analogy between the patterns in the wake of a jet and a solid rod was checked in a six inch round duct and found to be of doubtful validity.

description: Background Patients with Alzheimer’s disease show a sex-dependent decline of cognitive and behavioral performance. It is controversially discussed whether general anesthesia itself can aggravate or even cause this neurocognitive decline. Therefore, we investigated the effect of general anesthesia on neurocognitive and behavioral function and amyloidopathy in a mouse model of early-stage Alzheimer’s disease with respect to sex. Methods After governmental approval 10 months old Tg2576 mice and wild type (total 85 mice) either underwent general anesthesia with 1.0 minimal alveolar concentration of isoflurane for 2 h or were not exposed to isoflurane (controls). Following cognitive and behavioral testing using the modified hole board test (mHBT), brains were investigated regarding amyloidopathy, inflammation, and apoptosis. Data were analyzed using repeated measure analysis of variance (ANOVA) and univariate analysis of variance (UNIANOVA). Results Tg2576 mice showed a decline in memory function (p < 0.001), less anxiety (p = 0.022 and p = 0.024), increased locomotor activity (p = 0.025), and impaired fine motor skills (p < 0.001). Amyloid precursor protein (p < 0.001), soluble amyloid-beta (p < 0.001) and insoluble amyloid deposits (p < 0.001) were increased in Tg2576 animals. Neither sex nor exposure to isoflurane had an effect on cognitive or behavioral testing or expression of amyloid-related biomarkers. Discussion and conclusion We found that 10 months old Tg2576 showed typical signs of early-stage Alzheimer’s disease and corresponding histopathological alterations. Relevant sex-specific differences or an effect of isoflurane anesthesia could not be detected at this early stage of the disease.

description: We report on the latest six pulsars discovered through our standard pipeline in the intermediate-latitude region (|b| < 15 degrees) of the Parkes High Time Resolution Universe Survey (HTRU). We also present timing solutions for the new discoveries and for 19 further pulsars for which only discovery parameters were previously published. Highlights of the presented sample include the isolated millisecond pulsar J1826-2415, the long-period binary pulsar J1837-0822 in a mildly eccentric 98-d orbit with a >0.27 M-circle dot companion, and the nulling pulsar J1638-4233, detected only 10 per cent of the time. Other interesting objects are PSR J1757-1500, exhibiting sporadic mode changes, and PSR J1635-2616 showing one glitch over 6 yr. The new discoveries bring the total count of HTRU intermediate-latitude pulsars to 113, 25 per cent of which are recycled pulsars. This is the highest ratio of recycled over ordinary pulsars discoveries of all recent pulsar surveys in this region of the sky. Among HTRU recycled pulsars, four are isolated objects. Comparing the characteristics of Galactic fully recycled isolated MSPs with those of eclipsing binaries ('spiders'), from which the former are believed to have formed, we highlight a discrepancy in their spatial distribution. This may reflect a difference in the natal kick, hence, possibly, a different formation path. On the other hand, however, isolated fully recycled MSPs spin periods are, on average, longer than those of spiders, in line with what one would expect, from simple magnetic-dipole spin-down, if the former were indeed evolved from the latter.

Subjects: subject: Engineering, Electronics and Electrical.

description: This thesis analyses and implements a Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) architecture for image processing. The architecture comprises two modules, one for image coding and the other for image decoding. Each module is implemented using a novel Modified Forward-Backward Register Allocation (MFBRA) method and accommodates two Fast Processing Elements (FPE). The resulting architecture minimizes the hardware required to perform the task together with reduced processing time, rendering the whole structure suitable for real time applications. The whole architecture is implemented and simulated using the Verilog Hardware Description Language.

description: The integration of artificial intelligence into business processes is a crucial step for companies to survive in a competitive environment. Text processing is one of the most important applications of artificial intelligence in a growing sector. This thesis focuses on text processing through multi-label text classification and named entity recognition. The aim is to investigate how multi-label text classification and named entity recognition can be applied, implemented and evaluated using artificial intelligence. To this end, the basics of neural networks in the context of multi-label text classification and named entity recognition as well as the associated metrics are first explained. With the help of a quantitative research approach and a structured literature review, the current state of research is identified. Based on this, a neural network consisting of a BERT and an ELMo encoder, a bidirectional long short-term memory and conditional random fields for named entity recognition as well as a neural network based on the universal sentence encoder with a bidirectional long short-term memory, a fully connected layer and individual heads for classifying the text into several labels are implemented, merged into one system and evaluated. The metrics and methods identified within the structured literature research are summarised in an evaluation concept. This is used to evaluate the realised models. On a Reuters 21578 dataset reduced to 20 labels, micro and macro F1 scores of 73% and 56% respectively were achieved for the classification of texts with multiple labels and 94% and 93% respectively for the recognition of named entities on the CoNLL03 dataset.
Growth and therapeutic properties of Agaricus blazei
Creators: name: Tilmanis, Danielle Renee

description: Agaricus blazei is an immensely popular edible 'medicinal mushroom' in Japan, mainly due to traditional beliefs that it has antitumour properties, and the ability to stimulate the immune system. The majority of scientific research carried out on A. blazei has demonstrated that polysaccharides extracted from mushrooms fruiting bodies are the active agents for the purported anticancer properties. Limited research has been undertaken with regards to liquid-cultured mycelium and liquid culture filtrates of A. blazei and this investigation involved screening these products for novel medicinal properties. The growth of the fungus was examined on solid agar for the propagation of mycelium which was used for inoculation of liquid cultures. Optimal fungal storage conditions were also determined. The optimum growth temperature and pH of A. blazei on yeast malt agar were 28-29 °C and pH 5-6, respectively. Storage of mycelial plugs at -80°C in 10% glycerol was found to maintain viability of the fungus for up to 36 months. Subsequent growth trials in liquid media found that a temperature of 30°C over a pH range of 4-8 were optimal for mycelial growth. Glucose as a carbohydrate source produced the most mycelium, while sucrose was most favourable for exopolysaccharide production. The exopolysaccharides produced were identified as mannan-protein complexes. Organic solvent extracts of liquid-cultured mycelia were examined, and antibacterial activity was identified against Branhamella cattarhalis and some Gram-positive bacteria, particularly for dichloromethane and ethyl acetate extracts. In vitro cytotoxic activity was observed against cervical cancer and lymphoma cell lines, particularly for hexane and dichloromethane extracts. Protein extracts of Agaricus blazei liquid-cultured mycelium were found to have antiviral effect against simian rotavirus, although the cause of the observed effect was likely due to the presence of a trypsin inhibitor in the extract. Cytotoxic activity of the protein extract was also identified against lymphoma cells in vitro. Exopolysaccharides from liquid culture filtrate of A. blazei did not have an effect on rotavirus, but had a marked cytotoxic effect on lymphoma cells, and to a lesser extent of cervical cancer cells. Thus, the cytotoxic effect was found to be specific for tumour cells.
