The relationship of decentralized organizational structure to perceived aspects of professional nursing practice environment.
Creators: name: Logan, Jo.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1994
Subjects: subject: Health Sciences, Nursing.

description: Despite evidence that organizational outcomes are negatively affected when professionals have limited decision making and their practice is constrained, little is known about the relationship of decentralized decision making (DDM) structures to the professional practice environment (PPE). In this study, the relationship of DDM to clinical nurses' perceived aspects of a PPE was examined. DDM consisted of the hierarchy of authority for work decisions and participation in strategic and unit group decisions. The PPE aspects of interest to administrators in complex organizations who are charged with organizational effectiveness include: control over practice, professional development, innovation activity, and peer relationships. Using a correlational design, data were collected from a random sample of 320 clinical nurses employed in a university teaching hospital. Instruments used included the Index of Centralization and the Professional Practice Environment Scale. Multivariate procedures were used to test hypotheses and to construct models. Authority for work decisions was positively related to the four aspects of PPE. Participation in decision making was positively related to all aspects except control over practice. Several individual and situational characteristics were found to moderate the relationship between DDM and PPE. Work pressure was statistically controlled. Model building showed that unit decision making was the most important variable in the relationships with professional development and innovativeness. Results contribute to organizational and nursing administration theory and are a useful guide for administrators to enhance PPE as a way to help manage constant change.
Flannery O'Connor and the poetics of apophatic theology

description: This dissertation explores the previously overlooked connections between the fiction of Flannery O'Connor and the writings of the apophatic (or "negative") theological tradition. By arguing for a greater relevance between O'Connor's stylistic negativity and her religious imagination than has been recognized, this study challenges the critical assumption that thematic approaches alone adequately explain the theological import of O'Connor's narratives. Accordingly, I read O'Connor's so-called negative style as part of a cultural rethinking of modernity that recalls the poetic-theological strategies of apophasis (negation) and its aesthetic of "unknowing." O'Connor's fiction, I argue, exploits the modernist crisis of meaning in order to underscore the transcendent dimension of experience, which most often admits something incongruous, even contradictory. Like apophatic writers, O'Connor uses tropes of darkness, emptiness, and silence to renew a sensitivity to transcendence; she relates the absence and unknowability that follows from the "death of God" ethos to the absence and unknowability of a "hidden" divinity that surpasses the furthest reach of comprehension. In doing so, she challenges the hierarchical and gendered meanings of tropes like darkness and light, presence and absence that have long dominated Western culture. Thus, my thinking toward the poetics of apophatic theology offers a method for approaching the fundamental aporia of theology in specifically literary terms. It also queries an opposing line of theoretical interest in apophatic discourse that valorizes its negative language forms as a dimension of postmodern antifoundationalism but ignores its vital interest in the constitutive power of language. I conclude that O'Connor anticipates the role of negativity and operations of the negative in the revaluation of the Western intellectual tradition that defines postmodernity, but by paradoxically exploring premodern modes of speaking and knowing.

Modelling of thermal magnesium processes
Creators: name: Wulandari, Winny
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The current dominant route for extracting magnesium metal is via the Pidgeon process, a batch pyrometallurgical route which is based on a silicothermic reduction of calcined dolomite. While this process is versatile and offers simple operation, the productivity of this process is very low. Other silicothermic processes increase the productivity by carrying out the reduction at higher temperature, but it leads to greater impurities in the metal. This study was focused on the fundamental physical chemistry associated with the silicothermic processes, including the behaviour of impurities in the process. This was achieved by conducting thermodynamic modelling, kinetics analysis, and high temperature experiments to confirm the predictions.
NGO-sponsored education and the development of the local civil society sector in Cambodia

subject: Sociology, Organizational.

description: In Cambodia, as in many other post-conflict countries, civil society is weak and poorly developed. Following thirty years of violent civil unrest, the country remains scarred politically and socially. Relations between government and local communities are tenuous, and the capacity for civic participation in the development and implementation of community-based social programs is severely limited. Consequently a number of nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) are striving to strengthen Cambodian civil society and to enhance the capacity of local communities to engage effectively with government institutions. This thesis presents the results of an ethnographic case study of two NGO-sponsored educational programs that are striving to strengthen local civic capacity and to foster productive democratic relationships between community leadership and local government officials. The study highlights the potential for strengthening Cambodian civil society in circumstances characterized by deep-seated socio-cultural traditions, post-war undercurrents of resistance to modernization, and abiding suspicion of government authorities.

description: In cells, proteins encoded by the same gene do not all behave uniformly but engage in functional subpopulations induced by spatial or temporal segregation. While conventional microscopy has limitations in revealing such spatial and temporal diversity, single-molecule tracking (SMT) microscopy circumvented this problem and allows for high-resolution imaging and quantification of dynamic single-molecule properties. Particularly in the nucleus, SMT has identified specific DNA residence times of transcription factors (TFs), DNA-bound TF fractions and positions of transcriptional hot-spots upon cell stimulation. By contrast to cell stimulation, SMT has not been employed to follow dynamic TF changes along stages of cell differentiation. Herein, we analysed the serum response factor (SRF), a TF involved in the differentiation of many cell types to study nuclear single-molecule dynamics in neuronal differentiation. Our data in living mouse hippocampal neurons show dynamic changes in SRF DNA residence time and SRF DNA-bound fraction between the stages of adhesion, neurite growth and neurite differentiation in axon and dendrites. Using TALM (tracking and localization microscopy), we identified nuclear positions of SRF clusters and observed changes in their numbers and size during differentiation. Furthermore, we show that the SRF cofactor MRTF-A (myocardin-related TF or MKL1) responds to cell activation by enhancing the long-bound DNA fraction. Finally, a first SMT colocalization study of two proteins was performed in living cells showing enhanced SRF/MRTF-A colocalization upon stimulation. In summary, SMT revealed modulation of dynamic TF properties during cell stimulation and differentiation.
Answering meaning scepticism: Judgement-dependence and interpretationism

Year: 2007
Subjects: subject: Philosophy.

description: The aim of this thesis is to provide an answer to the problem of meaning scepticism as presented by Kripke by appealing to facets of a person's mental history. Following Wright's strategy, the sceptic's demand for a fact that determines meaning is placated by appealing to intentions. The focus of the problem becomes the need for a satisfactory account of first-person authority that also answers Kripke's argument from 'queerness'. Two approaches are presented, one from the traditional first-person perspective, and the other from Davidson's standpoint of the interdependence of self-knowledge, knowledge of other minds and knowledge of the external world. It will be shown that Davidson's approach is preferable because it answers Kripke's three problems. An interesting corollary of this research exposes similarities between Wright's judgement-dependence and Davidson's views on the theory of interpretation.

description: Graphene is an excellent modifier for the surface modification of electrochemical electrodes due to its exceptional physical properties and, for the development of graphene-based chemical and biosensors, is usually coated on glassy carbon electrodes (GCEs) via drop casting. However, the ease of aggregation and high defect content of reduced graphene oxides degrade the electrical properties. Here, we fabricated low-defect graphene electrodes by catalytically thermal treatment of HPHT diamond substrate, followed by the electrodeposition of Au nanoparticles (AuNPs) with an average size of ≈60 nm on the electrode surface using cyclic voltammetry. The Au nanoparticle-decorated graphene electrodes show a wide linear response range to vanillin from 0.2 to 40 µM with a low limit of detection of 10 nM. This work demonstrates the potential applications of graphene-based hybrid electrodes for highly sensitive chemical detection
Re-storying the earth: writing a new meta-narrative through eco-fiction
Creators: name: Le Rossignol, Rachel
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This research examines how broad cultural stories can be re-shaped to encourage the relationship between humans and the Earth to shift from exploitation to connection and stewardship. It posits that fiction is capable of changing cultural ways of perceiving and hence acting. The Narrative Therapy methodology applies a structured approach to address what is identified as a psychological problem that exists on a cultural scale. The research identifies several useful concepts for creating new cultural stories, including encouraging empathic resonance with the Earth, and finding a balance between creating awareness of issues with showing an Earth-centred way of thinking and living. Practice findings suggest that allowing the merging of the epistemological, ontological and creative through entry into a conceptual Thirdspace leads to new understandings for the writer/researcher.

description: The aim was to investigate the induction and repair of radiation-induced DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) as a function of the absorbed dose to the blood of patients undergoing PET/CT examinations with [68Ga]Ga-PSMA. Blood samples were collected from 15 patients before and at four time points after [68Ga]Ga-PSMA administration, both before and after the PET/CT scan. Absorbed doses to the blood were calculated. In addition, blood samples with/without contrast agent from five volunteers were irradiated ex vivo by CT while measuring the absorbed dose. Leukocytes were isolated, fixed, and stained for co-localizing γ-H2AX+53BP1 DSB foci that were enumerated manually. In vivo, a significant increase in γ-H2AX+53BP1 foci compared to baseline was observed at all time points after administration, although the absorbed dose to the blood by 68Ga was below 4 mGy. Ex vivo, the increase in radiation-induced foci depended on the absorbed dose and the presence of contrast agent, which could have caused a dose enhancement. The CT-dose contribution for the patients was estimated at about 12 mGy using the ex vivo calibration. The additional number of DSB foci induced by CT, however, was comparable to the one induced by 68Ga. The significantly increased foci numbers after [68Ga]Ga-PSMA administration may suggest a possible low-dose hypersensitivity.
Facilitating a group resonance intervention with a volleyball team: An exploration of the process between a consultant, coach, and athletes

Subjects: subject: Health Sciences, Recreation.

description: Resonance interventions are aimed at developing awareness of how one wants to feel, how to prepare to feel this way, the obstacles that get in the way of that desired feel, and how to reconnect with it through individual or group sessions led by a consultant (Newburg, Kimiciek, Durand-Bush, & Doell, 2002; Arcand, Durand-Bush, & Miall, 2007). The purpose of this study was to examine how a coach developed and applied the process of resonance with his team through a resonance intervention facilitated by a researcher/consultant and continued nurturing this process once the intervention was completed. The participants included a varsity volleyball team comprising a 39 year old male coach and 16 female athletes aged between 18-24 years. The 26-week study comprised three phases: a 6-week pre-intervention phase involving interviews and observations; a 14-week intervention phase involving four team sessions, individual consultations with the coach, participant journaling, and observations; and a 6-week post-intervention phase involving interviews. The results are presented as a narrative (Polkinghorne, 1995) to tell the story of how the researcher/consultant worked with the team as a group and also individually with the coach to help them learn and apply their personal resonance process and enhance their performance, leading them to a OUA Championship title.

description: Impact mass and inbound velocity are important parameters defined in helmet standards, which represent the total energy transferred during a hit to the head. The purpose of this study was to determine the influence that impact mass and inbound velocity had on energy attenuation characteristics of polymeric materials used in helmet design. Materials consisted of three densities of expanded polystyrene, expanded polypropylene, and vinyl nitrile foam. Each sample was impacted once at 25 different levels of energy using a monorail drop test. Significant main effects were observed for impact mass, inbound velocity, and material density on peak linear acceleration and impulse (p<0.05). Using peak linear accelerations as the determinant for risk of injury, head mass and inbound velocity played a significant role in helmet material performance.

Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2018

description: The Indian media is full of reports about the layoffs due to the current slowdown in the economic growth partially caused by demonetization and poor implementation of the Good & Services Tax (GST). However, this paper focuses on the long run course of Indian development by asking why the process of economic transformation that entails labour transiting from low to high productivity activities, has been much slower in India than in other Asian countries like China. First, the article examines how China has transformed itself into an industrial powerhouse, while India has not, considering that both countries had similar levels of poverty in 1978 when the Chinese reforms began. Following, this article analyzes the structure of the Indian economy by looking at the structure of its labour market and the anatomy of the Indian growth spurt. The organized sector has failed to absorb much labour from the unorganized sector in India, where the productivity increases have been modest if any. While the obstacles to the expansion of the organized sector have been widely discussed, this article draws attention to the importance of improving the productivity of the activities in India’s unorganized sector.

description: The highly conserved Notch signaling pathway controls a multitude of developmental processes including hematopoiesis. Here, we provide evidence for a novel mechanism of tissue-specific Notch regulation involving phosphorylation of CSL transcription factors within the DNA-binding domain. Earlier we found that a phospho-mimetic mutation of the Drosophila CSL ortholog Suppressor of Hairless [Su(H)] at Ser269 impedes DNA-binding. By genome-engineering, we now introduced phospho-specific Su(H) mutants at the endogenous Su(H) locus, encoding either a phospho-deficient [Su(H)S269A] or a phospho-mimetic [Su(H)S269D] isoform. Su(H)S269D mutants were defective of Notch activity in all analyzed tissues, consistent with impaired DNA-binding. In contrast, the phospho-deficient Su(H)S269A mutant did not generally augment Notch activity, but rather specifically in several aspects of blood cell development. Unexpectedly, this process was independent of the corepressor Hairless acting otherwise as a general Notch antagonist in Drosophila. This finding is in agreement with a novel mode of Notch regulation by posttranslational modification of Su(H) in the context of hematopoiesis. Importantly, our studies of the mammalian CSL ortholog (RBPJ/CBF1) emphasize a potential conservation of this regulatory mechanism: phospho-mimetic RBPJS221D was dysfunctional in both the fly as well as two human cell culture models, whereas phospho-deficient RBPJS221A rather gained activity during fly hematopoiesis. Thus, dynamic phosphorylation of CSL-proteins within the DNA-binding domain provides a novel means to fine-tune Notch signal transduction in a context-dependent manner.

description: Organizations increasingly use technology-mediated interviews. However, only limited research is available concerning the comparability of different interview media and most of the available studies stem from a time when technology-mediated interviews were less common than in the present time. In an experiment using simulated selection interviews, we compared traditional face-to-face (FTF) interviews with telephone and videoconference interviews to determine whether ratings of interviewees’ performance, their perceptions of the interview, or their strain and anxiety are affected by the type of interview. Before participating in the actual interview, participants had a more positive view of FTF interviews compared to technology-mediated interviews. However, fairness perceptions did not differ anymore after the interview. Furthermore, there were no differences between the three interview media concerning psychological and physiological indicators of strain or interview anxiety. Nevertheless, ratings of interviewees’ performance were lower in the technology-mediated interviews than in FTF interviews. Thus, differences between different interview media can still be found nowadays even though most applicants are much more familiar with technologymediated communication than in the past. The results show that organizations should take this into account and therefore avoid using different interview media when they interview different applicants for the same job opening.
Quebec's public diplomacy: A study on the conceptual convergence of public diplomacy and public relations

description: The thesis expands Signitzer and Coombs' (1992) seminal study on the conceptual convergence of public diplomacy and public relations. Similar to international public relations, public diplomacy serves to transmit infolination, promote influence, create understanding and build relationships. However, a review of the existing academic literature reveals that the public diplomacy/public relations nexus has received insufficient attention from scholars. The purpose of the study is to determine whether there exists a strong enough similarity between the two domains to actively theorize public diplomacy from a communications (public relations) perspective. The research systematically applies the Signitzer and Coombs comparative model to interpret evidence of conceptual convergence in five areas of Quebec's public diplomacy (academic and cultural relations, investment and tourism promotion, and sports diplomacy). It is demonstrated that public diplomacy and public relations are both premised on the concept of symmetry, but also share asymmetrical tendencies. The findings suggest that the two disciplines are experiencing a process of convergence and support the value of exploring public diplomacy with public relations-based theories and models. However, public diplomacy practitioners are generally unwilling to recognize the relationship between public diplomacy and public relations. The development of shared concepts is therefore encouraged to overcome these perceptual gaps. Future research centred on common functions, such as reputation management and relationship building, is proposed and the thesis concludes that interdisciplinary cooperation is necessary to advance the public diplomacy scholarship.

description: Background: It is widely acknowledged that health policy and practice do not always reflect current research evidence. Whether knowledge transfer from research to practice is more successful when specific implementation approaches are used remains unclear. A model to assist engagement of allied health managers and clinicians with research implementation could involve disseminating evidence-based policy recommendations, along with the use of knowledge brokers. We developed such a model to aid decision-making for the provision of weekend allied health services. This protocol outlines the design and methods for a multi-centre cluster randomised controlled trial to evaluate the success of research implementation strategies to promote evidence-informed weekend allied health resource allocation decisions, especially in hospital managers. Methods: This multi-centre study will be a three-group parallel cluster randomised controlled trial. Allied health managers from Australian and New Zealand hospitals will be randomised to receive either (1) an evidence-based policy recommendation document to guide weekend allied health resource allocation decisions, (2) the same policy recommendation document with support from a knowledge broker to help implement weekend allied health policy recommendations, or (3) a usual practice control group. The primary outcome will be alignment of weekend allied health service provision with policy recommendations. This will be measured by the number of allied health service events (occasions of service) occurring on weekends as a proportion of total allied health service events for the relevant hospital wards at baseline and 12-month follow-up. Discussion: Evidence-based policy recommendation documents communicate key research findings in an accessible format. This comparatively low-cost research implementation strategy could be combined with using a knowledge broker to work collaboratively with decision-makers to promote knowledge transfer. The results will assist managers to make decisions on resource allocation, based on evidence. More generally, the findings will inform the development of an allied health model for translating research into practice.

description: The objective of this work was to provide updated information on the development of the potentialimpact of heavy metal containing batteries on municipal waste and battery recycling processes followingtransposition of the new EU Batteries Directive 2006/66/EC. A representative sample of 146 differenttypes of commercially available dry and button cells as well as lithium-ion accumulators for mobilephones were analysed for their mercury (Hg)-, cadmium (Cd)- and lead (Pb)-contents. The methods usedfor preparing the cells and analysing the heavy metals Hg, Cd, and Pb were either developed during a formerstudy or newly developed. Several batteries contained higher mass fractions of mercury or cadmiumthan the EU limits. Only half of the batteries with mercury and/or lead fractions above the markingthresholds were labelled. Alkaline-manganese mono-cells and Li-ion accumulators, on average, containedthe lowest heavy metal concentrations, while zinc-carbon batteries, on average, contained thehighest levels.

description: Neuroblastoma (NB) is the most common extracranial solid tumor in childhood and has a poor prognosis in high-risk cases, requiring novel therapies. Pathways that depend on phospho-signaling maintain the aggressiveness of NB. Protein phosphatase 2 (PP2A) with its catalytic subunit PPP2CA is a major phosphatase in cancer cells, including NB. We show that reduction of PPP2CA by knock-down decreased growth of NB cells and that complete ablation of PPP2CA by knock-out was not tolerated. Thus, NB cells are addicted to PPP2CA, an addiction augmented by MYCN activation. SET, a crucial endogenous inhibitor of PP2A, was overexpressed in poor-prognosis NB. The SET inhibitor OP449 effectively decreased the viability of NB cells, independent of their molecular alterations and in line with a tumor suppressor function of PPP2CA. The contrasting concentration-dependent functions of PPP2CA as an essential survival gene at low expression levels and a tumor suppressor at high levels are reminiscent of other genes showing this so-called Goldilocks phenomenon. PP2A reactivated by OP449 decreased activating phosphorylation of serine/threonine residues in the AKT pathway. Conversely, induced activation of AKT led to partial rescue of OP449-mediated viability inhibition. Dasatinib, a kinase inhibitor used in relapsed/refractory NB, and OP449 synergized, decreasing activating AKT phosphorylations. In summary, concomitantly reactivating phosphatases and inhibiting kinases with a combination of OP449 and dasatinib are promising novel therapeutic approaches to NB.

description: Relationships between businesses, businesses and end customers, as well as between customers are an important area of practical and scientific interest. In the present era, largely due to digital technologies such as the database, public and private networks, and data collection and information distribution via TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) interface tools such as the World Wide Web (Web), the interest in relationships and related aspects such as trust as it relates to Web interactivity continues. An important antecedent empirical study established that arts patrons (customers) of a New York theatre company could be segmented according to their relational orientation, and that this orientation mediated between component attitudes and future purchase intentions. The study reported in this paper employs Web-based data collection and postal data collection methods in an investigation of the mediation effects of these data collection methods used with the same population of a premier football club in Australia. While a future aim is to more closely compare the outcomes established in the arts study with those from a similarly constructed study in the sporting arena, the focus of this initial paper is the differences in response exhibited by online respondents relative to postal survey respondents. The paper reports findings which do not support those of the antecedent arts and entertainment study concerning the weakness of overall satisfaction on the purchase intentions of high relational orientation customers. The paper also reports findings which give confidence to users of online surveys that despite differences in demographic profiles of these respondents and postal survey respondents, there is a degree of similarity in the responses of the two groups on the measures used in this study. The paper also suggests the need for further research into these data collection effects as they relate to relationship marketing.
