description: Di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) is used in food packaging and medical products, resulting in unintentional human ingestion. Concurrently, a high fat (HF)-oriented diet is very popular for many people worldwide. Here we investigated the regulatory role of renin-angiotensin system in kidney dysfunction. The HF diet-fed rats were fed a HF diet plus different doses of 10, 100 and 300 mg/kg bw DEHP for 35 days by gavage. Serum lipid contents and protein activities of renin-angiotensin system (RAS) components were measured using biochemical methods and ELISA; key metabolic genes and proteins of the kidney were determined by RT-PCR and western blotting techniques. Kidney morphology was examined through hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. Kidney weight to body weight ratio and mRNA expression of kidney damage markers were significantly increased following DEHP plus HF administration, which corresponded histologically with glomerular basement membrane thickening and glomerular swelling. Furthermore, DEHP treatment plus a HF diet induced dyslipidemia, accompanied by increased levels of renin-angiotensin system components, such as ACE protein, MAS-1 protein, serum renin and aldosterone. In addition, mRNA expression levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines were significantly upregulated in the kidneys. Pearson correlation analysis revealed that higher kidney ACE expression and ACE/ACE-2 ratio were positively associated with TG, TC and LDL-C levels. These data suggest that combined exposure to DEHP exposure plus a HF diet feeding may induce renal damage through overactivation of RAS.

description: Ein zweijähriger Düngungsversuch in Wasserkultur und mit verschiedenen Pfropfkombinationen erbrachte folgende Ergebnisse: • Es besteht ein spezifischer Einfluß der Rebenunterlage bzw. der Rebensorte auf die Aufnahme der Ionen und den Gehalt der Ionen in Blättern und Sproßachsen. • Auf die Aufnahme und auf den Gehalt des Stickstoffs übte die Sorte einen größeren Einfluß aus als die Unterlage. • Kaliumaufnahme und Kaliumgehalt der Blätter und Sproßachsen wurde von der Unterlage bestimmt. • Der Phosphor- und der Magnesiumgehalt hing mehr von der Sorte als von der Unterlage ab; auch waren Unterschiede im Gehalt der Blätter und Triebe zu erkennen. • Der Calciumgehalt hing mehr von der Unterlage als von der Sorte ab. • Der geringste Gehalt eines Iones trat bei denjenigen Nährstoffvarianten auf, bei denen das Ion in der Nährlösung fehlte. Auf den einzelnen Ionengehalt wirkte ferner das Phänomen des Ionenantagonismus. Influence of the rootstock and the scion on uptake and distribution of ions A two-year experiment of fertilizing, conducted in water culture using different combinations of grafted vines, led to the following results: • A specific influence of the rootstock and the variety on the uptake and the content of ions in leaves and shoot axes has been established. • The variety influenced the uptake and the content of nitrogen more than the rootstock. • Potassium uptake and potassium content of leaves and shoot axes were determined by the rootstock. • The content in phosphorus and magnesium was more dependent on the variety than on the rootstock. Differences in the content of leaves and shoots were established too. • The calcium content was more dependent on the rootstock than on the variety. • The lowest content of an ion occured in those nutrient variants where the ion was lacking in the nutrient solution. Further, the phenomenon of ion antagonism influenced the individual ion content.

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The main aim of this research study is to compare the Relationship Marketing Orientation (RMO) between public and private commercial banks in Sri Lanka. Thus, the findings of this study can possibly be useful to promote application of Relationship Marketing Orientation in both public and private banks in Sri Lanka. The theory of social exchange provides a theoretical base for this study. Trust, bonding, communication, shared value, empathy and reciprocity were considered as dimensions of the RMO. The data obtained from 1002 customers of Sri Lankan commercial banks were analyzed to test relevant hypotheses. The findings revealed that Relationship Marketing Orientation of private banks is significantly higher than that of public banks. In particular, in terms of individual dimensions of the RMO, Bonding, Shared Value and Empathy of the private banks seemed to be significantly higher than those of the public banks. Nevertheless, public banks were more trustworthy than private banks. Based on these findings, we have provided interesting implications and recommendations to the both private and public banks.

Examining Human ECG Interpretability Through Eye Movement to Improve Automated Outcomes

Publisher: name: Manara - Qatar Research Repository
Year: 2024
Subjects: classificationCode: 40
subject: Engineering

description: The electrocardiogram (ECG) has been the de-facto tool for graphically representing the electrical activity of the human heart. The 12-lead ECG displays this activity from 12 ”perspectives” called ”leads”, in relation to the position of the 12 sensors attached to the body. The ECG is a practical and affordable diagnostic medical test, used in medical settings around the world. Despite the fact that more than three hundred million electrocardiograms are performed each year, the task of correctly interpreting them is considered a tedious and complex one. Failing to correctly interpret an ECG may result in injury or death. Therefore, several attempts at automating the interpretation of ECGs were made and are being developed with the advent of machine learning. Yet, these automation efforts are still aspiring to reach a sufficiently reliable level compared to human interpretation. Since the task requires both cognitive and visual efforts, eye tracking is a suitable methodology to reveal the dynamics of the interpretation procedure. This thesis aims at revealing indicators in the visual behavior of the interpreter that specify nuances useful in forthcoming ECG interpretation accuracy. This work uses eye-tracking as an enabling methodology to analyze how different health practitioners proceed into interpreting an ECG with relation to the accuracy of interpretation. Results of this work included quantifying the eye movement behavior of medical practitioners using eye tracking data, mainly fixations and gaze data, and correlating it with the roles of medical practitioners reflected through their accuracy diagnosing different heart arrhythmias.

A study on a novel sewer overflow screening system
Creators: name: Aziz, Md Abdul
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: After heavy rainfall, sewer overflow spills into receiving water bodies, causing serious concern for the environment and public health. To overcome this challenge novel sewer overflow screening devices have been developed and evaluated to overcome the limitations of low capture efficiency and high initial and maintenance costs. The proposed 'Comb Separator' was designed and testing through a comprehensive analysing involving numerical model, laboratory and sensitivity testing. Comparisons of the 'comb separator' with the industry standard Hydro-JetTM suggest that the former can perform better when there are blockages, and that it has a higher capture efficiency during periods of low flow.

Grammatical conversion of descriptive narrative: an application of discourse analysis in conceptual modelling
Creators: name: Calway, Bruce A.
name: Sykes, James A.
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Fact-oriented conceptual modelling begins with the search for facts about a universe of discourse (UoD). These facts may be obtained from many sources, including information systems reports, tables, manuals and descriptive narrative both verbal and written. This paper presents some initial findings that support the use of discourse analysis techniques as an approach to developing elementary fact based sentences for information systems conceptual schema development from written text. Although this discussion paper only considers the NIAM (fact-oriented) conceptual schema modelling method, the IS087 report from which the research case study is taken describes other conceptual methods for which the research contained in this paper could be applicable (e.g. Entity Relationship analysis). The case study could be modelled exactly in the form in which the text is initially found, but grammatical analysis focuses consideration on alternative, potentially better, expressions of a sentence, a theme which is described and demonstrated. As a result of having applied grammatical sentence simplification with co-ordinate clause splitting, each sentence could be expressed as a complete, finite, independent collection of declarative simple statements. The outcome from the application of the techniques described provides at a minimum a discourse analysis of descriptive narrative which will have retained its meaning and contextual integrity while at the same time providing a simplified and independent clause representation for input to the fact-oriented conceptual schema modelling procedure.

description: Neural networks have been used to solve a wide range of problems. Unfortunately, many of the applications of neural networks reported in the literature have been built in an ad-hoc manner, without being informed by the techniques and tools of software engineering. The problem with developing neural networks in an ad-hoc manner, using a 'trial and error' or 'build and fix' approach, is that successes are difficult to repeat. Building neural networks to solve specific problems using ad-hoc processes is repeatable only if there is a sufficient culture of disciplined practice and experienced people in the organisation to facilitate the process. In this paper we propose a set of methods for developing neural networks that can be used to systematically and repeatably 'engineer' neural networks to solve specific problems. We explore the 'design problem' for neural networks, and the problem of validating and verifying the operation and learning algorithms for neural network software. A feature of our approach is to separate the generic components of a neural network from the application specific components.

Optimal Sizing of Grid-PV Hybrid System for ethio telecom Access Layer Devices and Its Economic Feasibility

description: In Ethiopia, conventional grid power is primary source for base stations with backup from diesel generator and/or battery. Unstable diesel price; huge expenses of fuel and its transportation; and high carbon emissions are the main problems associated with fuel energy. Mindful of these facts, countries move to renewable energy sources. The work behind this paper is to determine the optimal size of grid connected solar power system for powering base stations and compare its performance with the existing system. The study included 138 base stations that are found in Addis Ababa. They are categorized in to five based on their technology – GULC, GUC, GUL, GU and UO. To estimate the size of PV module, real time power consumption data was collected from ethio-telecom Network Operating Center (NOC) for a period of about one year (Dec. 01, 2015 to Nov. 30, 2016) - 7,860 records for each site. In addition, hourly metrological data, specifically global horizontal, diffuse solar radiation, temperature and wind speed, were collected from National Metrological Agency. The proposed hybrid model comprises of PV-Grid-Battery. This project employed linear programming as optimization method and MATLAB program was used to compute hourly DC electric power output and to solve the developed optimization model. The finding showed that the highest power consumption was nearly 6KWs in GUC and GULC technologies, while the lowest was found to be in UO technology – around 1 KW. The number of PV modules in the hybrid system for UO technology is lower, which shows it can be implemented in all areas; while the other two technologies, GUL and GU, required green field /outdoor base stations. In addition the simulation output revealed that the system automatically chose the grid in case where subsidized/current cost of electricity was considered, while the model builds PV system to supply its energy need when the real electricity cost was utilized. This implied that PV's economic competence was hindered by local policy. Moreover, life cycle cost comparison of PV and DG showed that photovoltaic systems are more economical than diesel generator systems. As this evidence has several ramifications, it is better to promote PV to be used in any power design of BS. Promoting competitive PV market is also important to avail sufficient generation capacity to cover the local need.
title: Development of Machine Learning Models with Applications in Cardiovascular Research

description: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is one of the leading burdens on modern healthcare globally in terms of mortality, loss of health and healthcare costs. CVD covers all conditions that affect the heart and circulatory systems. Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are being increasingly leveraged to help improve diagnosis, prognosis, treatment, and management of CVDs. This thesis aims to develop ML approaches that can generate novel, meaningful insights into several aspects of cardiovascular research. First, in Chapter 3 we use convolutional neural networks (CNN) to quantify the effect ECG data format has on ML predictive performance, through the clinical task of detecting myocardial infarction, providing the first results in determining the optimal ECG data format for ML modelling. The remaining analysis leverages the unsupervised, probabilistic ML technique generative topographic mapping (GTM). The analysis aims to generate 2-dimensional representations of data and propose different approaches that can identify large macro-clusters within the reduced dimension. Doing this gives an understanding of which patients/participants within a data set are clinically similar, along with interpretable visualisations that explain the rationale behind each cluster. Chapter 4 contains the first outline of this methodology, developed on a noncardiovascular dataset, to demonstrate the generalisability of such a methodology. Through this approach, we propose a novel freedom of expression index that provides an understanding of the level of restrictions placed on the population of a country. This index is defined by macro clusters generated through aggregating the normalised information contained in the GTM reference vector outputs. Chapter 5 applies this methodology to generate clinically relevant AF phenotypes for specific patient cohorts, from the general and the critical care populations. We propose a new methodological approach to achieve this that implements hierarchical clustering, again on the GTM reference vector outputs, to generate the phenotypes. Finally, Chapters 6 and 7 investigate the athlete’s heart, defined as the physiological changes that the heart undergoes due to exercising for prolonged periods. Chapter 6 contains an in-depth scoping review, evaluating the current ML applications in athlete’s heart and identifying the gaps for future research. Chapter 7 investigates features automatically extracted from ECG recordings from elite footballers, cyclists, rugby league players, and ultra runners to further the understanding of healthy athlete’s hearts. The methodology in Chapter 5 was further developed here to define a novel approach that uses magnification factors to define neighbourhoods in the 2-dimensional data representation, to carry out constrained hierarchical clustering on the reference vectors.

The silent chorus: culture and superficiality
Creators: name: Young, Damon A.
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The Silent Chorus is a philosophical examination of superficiality in the modern capitalist West. Building on the work of thinkers such as Aristotle, Vico, Herder, Marx, Heidegger, Baudrillard and MacIntyre, this thesis analyses superficial appropriation in popular culture to highlight the shallowness of our everyday cultural life. Superficial appropriation reveals how the world is treated as a mass of depthless commodities to be bought, sold and consumed for self-satisfaction. Superficiality more generally estranges us from our and others' narrative traditions, corrupts our universities, robs us of our communal ethical will and hollows out our world so that we are symbolically 'homeless'. This hollowness, in turn, leads people to seek meaning though shallow and vicarious means, such as superficial appropriation. The Silent Chorus argues that this malaise is engendered by the Epicurean tradition, and its modern expressions in late capitalism, mechanistic materialism and egoistic individualism. As an alternative to this Epicurean 'homelessness', The Silent Chorus develops the vision of the 'Chorus'. Drawing on Classical Greek tragedy and democracy, narrative theory and thinkers in the Aristotelian tradition, the Chorus is a utopian vision of diverse, creative, open-ended cultural life. This vision is used to highlight the degeneration of superficial popular culture, past and present deficiencies of our universities and the ethical weakness of our superficiality. It does not solve our problems, but rather clarifies them, and gives us an alternative. Moving dialectically between deep utopia and shallow reality, 'what should be' and 'what is', The Silent Chorus further reveals the ontological, existential and ethical danger of our age, while providing a speculative vision for the future.

Decision-making and young offenders: examining the role of discretion in police judgments
Creators: name: McKillop, Dianne
name: Pfeifer, Jeffrey
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Police employ a significant amount of discretion when dealing with juvenile offenders. Specifically, officers often have to decide whether to issue an informal warning, a formal warning, or apprehend a juvenile offender. The decision may depend on various extra-legal influences such as an officer’s experience, perceptions, attitudes and beliefs. The dynamics surrounding these discretionary decisions deserve examination given research suggesting they may be subject to cognitive biases. This paper presents data from Western Australian police officers’ reports on incidents involving juvenile offenders. The reports include information regarding specific reasons for the action taken and the importance assigned to them. Results indicate consistencies. The data are discussed in terms of their input into structuring discretionary decision making.

description: This manuscript was accepted for publication at the Botanical Journal of the Linean Society on December 27, 2013. Broad scale chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) studies of beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) populations suggested the existence of glacial refugia and introgression zones in the south-eastern part of Europe. We choose a possible refugium of beech in northern Greece, Mt. Paggeo, which hosts a private cpDNA haplotype for beech, to conduct a fine-scale genetic study. We attempt to confirm or reject the hypothesis of the existence of a small scale refugium and gain understanding of the ecological and topographical factors affecting the spatial distribution of cpDNA haplotypes in the area. Our results reveal a high haplotype diversity in Mt. Paggeo, while the overall distribution of haplotypes show no significant correlation with the ecological characteristics of the beech forests. However, the private haplotype is found in high frequencies in beech forests located within or near ravines having a high spatial overlap with a relict vegetation type, occurring in ecological conditions found mainly within ravines. This result emphasises the importance of topography in the existence of glacial refugia in the wider area. Furthermore, haplotypes originating from two more widespread beech lineages in Greece are found on Mt. Paggeo, indicating a possible mixing of populations originating from a local refugium with populations from different remote refugia that possibly migrated in the area after the last glaciation.
