description: Reproductive isolation is central to the speciation process. Recent research suggests that where heterospecific mating occurs, postmating prezygotic (PMPZ) barriers and hybrid infertility can act as powerful reproductive barriers. Two traits that may underlie PMPZ isolation and reduced hybrid fertility are sperm morphology and motility. The two subspecies of long-tailed finch (Poephila acuticauda acuticauda and P. a. hecki) offer an excellent opportunity to investigate mechanisms of reproductive isolation as their narrow hybrid zone in the wild suggests incomplete reproductive isolation, and they can be studied in captivity. In this study we examine sperm morphology and motility in experimentally created hybrid long-tailed finches and compare them to ‘pure’ males of each subspecies. We found that hybrid males had longer midpiece than P. a. hecki males and significantly longer flagellum length than both subspecies, which we discuss in the context of the expected genetic composition of these groups. However, we found no evidence that ‘hybrid’ males had low sperm velocity or proportion of motile sperm in vitro, or for a relationship between sperm morphology and velocity. We discuss the opportunity posed by this system to investigate the genomic basis of reproductive traits that could propel this research field forward.

description: Radio observations suggest that 3C 75, located in the dumbbell shaped galaxy NGC 1128 at the center of Abell 400, hosts two colliding jets. Motivated by this source, we perform three-dimensional hydrodynamical simulations using a modified version of the GPU-accelerated Adaptive-MEsh-Refinement hydrodynamical parallel code ($\mathit{GAMER}$) to study colliding extragalactic jets. We find that colliding jets can be cast into two categories: 1) bouncing jets, in which case the jets bounce off each other keeping their identities, and 2) merging jets, when only one jet emerges from the collision. Under some conditions the interaction causes the jets to break up into oscillating filaments of opposite helicity, with consequences for their downstream stability. When one jet is significantly faster than the other and the impact parameter is small, the jets merge; the faster jet takes over the slower one. In the case of merging jets, the oscillations of the filaments, in projection, may show a feature which resembles a double helix, similar to the radio image of 3C 75. Thus we interpret the morphology of 3C 75 as a consequence of the collision of two jets with distinctly different speeds at a small impact parameter, with the faster jet breaking up into two oscillating filaments.

Automation bias in electronic prescribing: the effects of over-reliance on clinical decision support in relation to errors, cognitive load and verification
Creators: name: Lyell, David A.

Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Prescribing errors are a leading preventable cause of patient harm. Clinical decision support (CDS) can improve safety by alerting clinicians to potential errors as they enter orders into e-prescribing systems. However, this can introduce the risk of automation bias; clinicians may over-rely on CDS, thereby reducing vigilance in information seeking and processing. Problematically, CDS may not detect all significant errors or may generate alerts which are not clinically significant. Omission errors occur when clinicians fail to detect prescribing errors because they were not alerted, and commission errors occur where incorrect advice is wrongly acted upon. To date, there has been little research on automation bias in healthcare, where tasks, decision support and task complexity are likely to differ from those utilised in existing research which comes mostly from the heavily automated domains of aviation and process control. This thesis examines the risk of automation bias in e-prescribing that is assisted by CDS and whether this risk is mediated by task complexity. It also examines the relationship between automation bias errors, cognitive load, and verification of CDS. One hundred and twenty students in the final two years of a medical degree prescribed medicines for nine clinical scenarios using a simulated e-prescribing system in a randomised controlled experiment. The quality of CDS (correct, incorrect and no CDS) and task complexity (low, low with interruption and high) were varied within-subjects. Omission errors (failure to detect prescribing errors), commission errors (acceptance of false positive alerts), cognitive load, and verification of CDS (access of drug references) were measured. Errors. Compared to no CDS, incorrect CDS significantly increased omission errors by 33.3% (p < .0001), 24.5% (p = .009), and 26.7% (p < .0001) and commission errors by 65.8% (p < .0001), 53.5% (p < .0001), and 51.7% (p < .0001), for low-, low- with interruption and high-complexity scenarios, respectively. Task complexity and interruptions did not affect errors. Cognitive Load. The use of CDS reduced cognitive load in high complexity conditions compared to no CDS, F(2,117)=4.72,p=.015. Omission errors were associated with significantly lower cognitive load with incorrect and no CDS, F(1,636.49)=3.79,p=.023. Verification. Lower view times (as a percentage of task time) increased omission errors, F(3, 361.914)=4.498, p=.035, and commission errors, F(1, 346.223)=2.712, p=.045. View times were lower in CDS-assisted compared to unassisted conditions, F(2, 335.743)=10.443, p

description: The well-known problem of the unknown power corrections within QCD improved factorisation leaves the interpretation of the so-called LHCb anomalies in the angular observables of B-->K* mu+ mu- as an open problem. In order to contribute to the question whether they represent a first sign for new physics beyond the Standard Model or a consequence of underestimated hadronic power corrections, we present a direct comparison of two global fits to the data based on the two different assumptions. In addition, we summarise the possible options to resolve this puzzle in the future.

Translating swear words in Pulp Fiction: a comparative case study in DVD subtitles and internet fansubs

description: Due to the prevalence of swearing in popular films such as some of those produced in Hollywood, it is a linguistic phenomenon that causes significant issues in cross-cultural adaptation when these films are translated for contexts where swearing is further from the norm, and is considered taboo. In line with this, the present study sets out to investigate two main research questions: (1) What are the translation strategies employed in rendering swear words into Arabic in the context of subtitles? (2) Are there any significan differences between the subtitles by professionals and by fans in terms of the strategies used? This study takes the film Pulp Fiction (1994), directed and written by Quentin Tarantino, as a case study. The data of the corpus is drawn from two versions of the film translation, namely the official DVD subtitles and the internet subtitles created by fans (fansubs). A quantitative analysis was carried out to identify the distributions and frequency of each instance of swear words and the translation strategies used in the official DVD subtitles and the internet fansubs, and to determine whether there are significant differences between these two subtitled versions or not. Based on the quantitative results, a qualitative analysis is provided. The results show that around two-thirds of English swear words have been omitted in both subtitled versions, although the words chosen in the fansub version tend to be harsher than those in the official DVD version.

Here, we comprehensively isolated and characterized sEV from human MM cell lines (HMCL) and patient-derived plasma (psEV) by specific EV-marker enrichment and morphology. Importantly, we demonstrate that HMCL-sEV are readily internalised by stromal cells to functionally modulate proliferation. psEV were isolated using various commercial approaches and pre-analytical conditions (collection tube types, storage conditions) assessed for sEV yield and marker enrichment. Functionally, MM-psEV were shown to regulate stromal cell proliferation and migration. In turn, pre-educated stromal cells favour HMCL adhesion. psEV isolated from patients with both pre-malignant plasma cell disorders (monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance [MGUS]; smouldering MM [SMM]) and MM have a similar ability to promote cell migration and adhesion, suggesting a role for both malignant and pre-malignant sEV in disease progression. Proteomic profiling of MM-psEV (305 proteins) revealed enrichment of oncogenic factors implicated in cell migration and adhesion, in comparison to non-disease psEV. This study describes a protocol to generate morphologically-intact and biologically functional sEV capable of mediating the regulation of stromal cells, and a model for the characterization of tumour-stromal cross-talk by sEV in MM.

description: Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) describes an evolutionary conserved morphogenic process defined by loss of epithelial characteristics and acquisition of mesenchymal phenotype, and altered patterns of intercellular communication, leading to functional changes in cell migration and invasion. In this regard, we have previously reported that oncogenic H-Ras induced EMT in MDCK cells (21D1 cells) trigger changes in the protein distribution pattern in cells, exosomes, and soluble protein factors (secretome) which modulate the tumour microenvironment. Here, we report that shed microvesicles (also termed microparticles/ ectosomes) secreted from MDCK cells following oncogenic H-Ras-induced EMT (21D1-sMVs) are biochemically distinct from exosomes and parental MDCK-sMVs. The protein spectra of RNA-binding proteins and mitochondrial proteins in 21D1-sMVs differ profoundly to those of exosomes, likewise proteins associated with suppression of anoikis. We show that 21D1-sMVs promote cell migration, confer anchorage-independent growth, and induce EMT in parental MDCK cells. An unexpected and novel finding was the selective sorting of tissue transglutaminase-2 (TGM2) into 21D1-sMVs; there was no evidence of TGM2 in MDCK-sMVs. Prior treatment of 21D1-sMVs with neutralizing anti-TGM2 or anti-FN1 antibodies attenuates the invasive capability of fibroblasts. These finding suggest that microvesicle-associated TGM2 may play an important contributory role in the EMT process and warrants further investigation. (199/ 200 words).

description: We study the motion of an interface between two irrotational, incompressible fluids, with elastic bending forces present; this is the hydroelastic wave problem. We prove a global bifurcation theorem for the existence of families of spatially periodic traveling waves on infinite depth. Our traveling wave formulation uses a parameterized curve, in which the waves are able to have multi-valued height. This formulation and the presence of the elastic bending terms allows for the application of an abstract global bifurcation theorem of "identity plus compact" type. We furthermore perform numerical computations of these families of traveling waves, finding that, depending on the choice of parameters, the curves of traveling waves can either be unbounded, reconnect to trivial solutions, or end with a wave which has a self-intersection. Our analytical and computational methods are able to treat in a unified way the cases of positive or zero mass density along the sheet, the cases of single-valued or multi-valued height, and the cases of single-fluid or interfacial waves.

description: Green Statements are at the forefront of public institutional communications. As the key form of environmental organisational disclosure, Green Statements are a valuable tool which can enhance the communicative capacity of an organisation. However, most current studies have fallen short of adequately examining the content of Green Statements. This thesis will aim to investigate the content and evolution of green statements over time. Additionally, this thesis will also investigate the role of IS in influencing green statement development. The thesis will undertake a qualitative thematic analysis in order to identify the key themes present within organisational Green Statements. Data is collected from listed entities within the ASX200 in Australia with an extensive history of environmental reporting. Following the data collection phase, the data is processed by the thematic analysis software: Leximancer; sorted by the dimensions of industry and year. These results are then viewed through the lens of Engeström’s Activity theory, which is utilised as a framework for data analysis. It is revealed that there are three main types of Green Statement themes: Resource, Technological and Initiative-based. The results of this study will have significant implications for future investigations of Green Statements due to the exploratory nature of the research and will greatly contribute to our understanding of environmental reporting practice.

The well of the past: reinterpreting secularism after 9/11

description: The ‘9/11’ bombing of the World Trade Center and Pentagon in 2001 ushered in a new era in international relations in ways that are yet to be fully analyzed. Described as the first ‘world-historical event’ by Jürgen Habermas, it focused attention on Islamic involvement in international terrorism and promoted images of a unified ‘Islamic World’ at loggerheads with an equally unified ‘West’. Although such images have served conservative interests on both sides, neither the Islamic World nor the West is a unified category. More importantly, 9/11 has reinvigorated debates about what constitutes modernity and ‘civility’. Increasingly, both are being measured in terms of the role of religion in the public sphere: to be a modern, civilized state is to be a secular state. However, in examining problems with the interpretation of secularism as a concept, the thesis argues that there is a need to concentrate on the accommodation of religious difference within and between states and on maintaining state neutrality on issues of religious difference rather than insisting on secularism as a marker of civility per se. The thesis critically examines the adoption of a rigidly rationalist conception of secularism by two Muslim majority countries in their efforts to be recognized as civilized and modern members of the international system that has resulted in certain tensions in these countries between secularism and a fundamentalist interpretation of Islam. These studies illustrate that the discourse of civilized versus uncivilized attached to the concept of secularism needs to be addressed so that Muslim majority countries can realize their aspiration to recognition as modern and civilized as well as Islamic.

description: Advertising message strategy plays an important role in shaping creative execution, however, the way in which advertising message strategies are developed remains unclear and a consensus on the content of quality advertising message strategy is yet to be reached. Building on the strategy-as-practice perspective, this study looks at the strategy process (praxis) used by agency account planners (practitioners) in the development of the creative brief (practice), to propose a descriptive framework for the development of advertising message strategies. The aim of the research is to identify the sequence of events and the elements of message strategy that lead to stronger strategic creative outcomes. Specifically, the study identifies seven elements of message strategy content that may make their way into the creative brief: challenge, community, purpose, connection, promise, support and tone. These elements of message strategy content are navigated and committed by the account planner to the creative brief through five elements of strategy praxis: accumulation, association, repetition, cultivation and distillation. The study also identifies the attributes of quality insight that may be adopted by account planners as a dominant mode of strategy as: originality, suitability, usability and visionary attributes. This study responds to calls for further research in marketing using qualitative analysis to expand theory, strengthen research into marketing practitioners’ epistemic culture and improve our understanding of the development of micro strategy work. These findings provide insights for marketers who want to design message strategy content that leads to more appropriate and original creative executions.

description: Many scientific data sets contain temporal dimensions. These are the data storing information at the same spatial location but different time stamps. Some of the biggest temporal datasets are produced by parallel computing applications such as simulations of climate change and fluid dynamics. Temporal datasets can be very large and cost a huge amount of time to transfer among storage locations. Using data compression techniques, files can be transferred faster and save storage space. NUMARCK is a lossy data compression algorithm for temporal data sets that can learn emerging distributions of element-wise change ratios along the temporal dimension and encodes them into an index table to be concisely represented. This paper presents a parallel implementation of NUMARCK. Evaluated with six data sets obtained from climate and astrophysics simulations, parallel NUMARCK achieved scalable speedups of up to 8788 when running 12800 MPI processes on a parallel computer. We also compare the compression ratios against two lossy data compression algorithms, ISABELA and ZFP. The results show that NUMARCK achieved higher compression ratio than ISABELA and ZFP.

Stability impacts from the current and pressure profile modifications within finite sized island

description: The stability (or instability) of finite sized magnetic island could play a significant role in disruption avoidance or disruption mitigation dynamics. Especially, various current and pressure profile modifications, such as the current drive and heating caused by electron cyclotron wave, or the radiative cooling and current expulsion caused by the Shattered Pellet Injection could be applied within the island to modify its stability, thus change the ensuing dynamics. In this study, we calculate the mode structure modification caused by such profile changes within the island using the perturbed equilibrium approach, thus obtain the change of stability criterion $\gD'$ and assess the corresponding quasi-linear island stability. The positive helical current perturbation is found to always stabilize the island, while the negative one is found to do the opposite, in agreement with previous results. The pressure bump or hole within the island has a more complicated stability impact. In the small island regime, its contribution is monotonic, with pressure bump tends to stabilize the island while pressure hole destabilizes it. This effect is relatively weak, though, due to the cancellation of the pressure term's odd parity contribution in the second derivatives of the mode structure. In the large island regime, such cancellation is broken due to the island asymmetry, and the pressure contribution to stability is manifested, which is non-monotonic. The stability analysis in this paper helps to more accurately clarify the expected island response in the presence of profile modifications caused by disruption avoidance or mitigation systems.
Neural responses to morphosyntactic violations in foreign accented speech

description: When comprehending speech, listeners extract information regarding the speaker's characteristics, such as their sex, nationality or socioeconomic status, from the speech signal. This speaker-identity information is integrated on-line during speech processing, influencing how listeners process both the phonological and semantic content of the utterance. However, little is known as to whether morphosyntactic processing is also influenced by the integration of of the speaker's identity. This study used the event-related potential technique to examine whether listeners' (n-30) neural responses to morphosyntactic violations (here subject-verb agreement errors) were modulated by the presence of speaker-identity information in the form of a foreign accent. The results demonstrated that the presence of a foreign accent did affect the neural responses observed for the violations, with errors of the commission type (where a superfluous morpheme was present) eliciting an N400 effect in native speech but an anterior negativity in foreign accented speech. However, omission errors (where a required morpheme was missing) elicited no violation effect for either speaker. The unexpected presence of an N400 effect was attributed to shallow syntactic processing and a possible priming effect caused by the presence of semantic violations in the experimental stimuli. The lack of effect observed for omission errors was attributed to the relative lack of perceptual salience of this error type. Some individual variation in the neural responses was observed, which was weakly related to participants' empathy levels. Overall, the results provided evidence that speaker-identity information is indeed integrated on-line during morphosyntactic processing.

description: We have developed a hyperspectral imaging scheme that involves a combination of dual-comb spectroscopy and Hadamard-transform-based single-pixel imaging. The scheme enables us to obtain 12,000 hyperspectral images of amplitude and phase at a spatial resolution of 46 um without mechanical scanning. The spectral resolution is 20 MHz, as determined by the linewidth of a single comb mode, and the spectral interval is 100 MHz over a spectral range of 1.2 THz centred at 191.5 THz. As an initial demonstration of our scheme, we obtained spectroscopic images of a standard test chart through an etalon plate. The thickness of an absorptive chromium-coated layer on a float-glass substrate was determined to be 70 nm from the hyperspectral phase images in the near-infrared wavelength region.

description: This study evaluated the occurrence, spatial distribution, source, and ecological risk of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in the sediment of an urban shallow lake in a mid-sized city. The ecological risk indices, enrichment factor (EF) and geoaccumulation index (Igeo) indicated high enrichment and contamination with Cd and moderate enrichment with Ni and Hg, while the potential risk index (RI) showed a moderate ecological risk. The mean contributions of individual PTE species to the total risk were in the following order: Cd > Hg > Ni > As > Cu > Pb > Cr > Zn. The sediment quality guideline (SQG) indices revealed that biological effects might occur occasionally due to the Cd and Ni contamination and a low or relatively insignificant risk of adverse biological effects from other PTEs. There were moderate to strong positive inter-metal relationships that suggested their common sources. The primary source responsible for elevated PTE concentrations was the traffic-related discharge. The main contributors to ecological risks were Cd and Ni. These findings highlight the importance of paying attention to the ecological environment of urban shallow lakes, which are particularly sensitive to their surroundings.

description: Earth is the only planet known to harbor life, therefore we may speculate on how the nature of the Sun-Earth interaction is relevant to life on Earth, and how the behavior of other stars may influence the development of life on their planetary systems. We study the long-term variability of a sample of five solar analog stars using composite chromospheric activity records up to 50 years in length and synoptic visible-band photometry about 20 years long. This sample covers a large range of stellar ages which we use to represent the evolution in activity for solar mass stars. We find that young, fast rotators have an amplitude of variability many times that of the solar cycle, while old, slow rotators have very little variability. We discuss the possible impacts of this variability on young Earth and exoplanet climates.

description: We investigate the generation of entanglement (spin squeezing) in an optical-transition atomic clock through the coupling to a vacuum electromagnetic field that is enhanced by an optical cavity. We show that if each atom is prepared in a superposition of the ground state and a long-lived electronic excited state, and viewed as a spin-1/2 system, then the collective vacuum light shift entangles the atoms, resulting in a squeezed distribution of the ensemble collective spin. This scheme reveals that even a vacuum field can be a useful resource for entanglement and quantum manipulation. The method is simple and robust since it requires neither the application of light nor precise frequency control of the ultra-high-finesse cavity. Furthermore, the scheme can be used to implement two-axis twisting by rotating the spin direction while coupling to the vacuum, resulting in stronger squeezing.

description: Background Health-related social media use is common but few health organisations have embraced its potential for engaging stakeholders in service design and quality improvement (QI). Social media may provide new ways to engage more diverse stakeholders and conduct health design and QI activities. Objective To map how social media is used by health services, providers and consumers to contribute to service design or QI activities. Methods The scoping review was undertaken using the Joanna Briggs Institute methodology. An advisory committee of stakeholders provided guidance throughout the review. Inclusion criteria were studies of any health service stakeholders, in any health setting, where social media was used as a tool for communications which influenced or advocated for changes to health service design or delivery. A descriptive numerical summary of the communication models, user populations and QI activities was created from the included studies, and the findings were further synthesised using deductive qualitative content analysis. Results 40 studies were included. User populations included organisations, clinical and non-clinical providers, young people, people with chronic illness/disability and First Nations people. Twitter was the most common platform for design and QI activities. Most activities were conducted using two-way communication models. A typology of social media use is presented, identifying nine major models of use. Conclusion This review identifies the ways in which social media is being used as a tool to engage stakeholders in health service design and QI, with different models of use appropriate for different activities, user populations and stages of the QI cycle.
