description: Detecting a change in the structure of a time series is a classical statistical problem. Here we consider a short memory causal linear process $X_i=\sum_{j=0}^\infty a_j\xi_{i-j}$, $i=1,\cdots,n$, where the innovations $\xi_i$ are independent and identically distributed and the coefficients $a_j$ are summable. The goal is to detect the existence of an unobserved time at which there is a change in the marginal distribution of the $X_i$'s. Our model allows us to simultaneously detect changes in the coefficients and changes in location and/or scale of the innovations. Under very simple moment and summability conditions, we investigate the asymptotic behaviour of the sequential empirical process based on the $X_i$'s both with and without a change-point, and show that two proposed test statistics are consistent. In order to find appropriate critical values for the test statistics, we then prove the validity of the moving block bootstrap for the sequential empirical process under both the hypothesis and the alternative, again under simple conditions. Finally, the performance of the proposed test statistics is demonstrated through Monte Carlo simulations.

The Fortunes of a King: Images of Edward the Confessor in 12th to 14th Century England
Creators: name: Reid, Jessica
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2016

description: This thesis is an iconographic study of Saint-King Edward the Confessor. It focuses on the political and devotional functions of his images in twelfth to fourteenth century England. The images are not concerned with the historical Anglo-Saxon King, but rather depict an idealized and simplified version of Edward. The discrepancies between Edward, the Anglo-Saxon monarch, and his representation in the twelfth to fourteenth centuries provide insight into how he was perceived at the time. Spanning the reigns of King Henry I to King Richard II, this unique study assembles both royal and ecclesiastical images of Edward to compare and contrast their intended purposes and messages. The study explores the role that Westminster Abbey had in the emergence, adoption, and transformation of Edward’s cult images, and it examines how the English crown subsequently adopted Edward as a saint-king figure under King Henry III and King Richard II. Furthermore, the study reveals elements of cooperation between Westminster Abbey and King Henry III in the presentation and interpretation of Edward’s image. In particular, the first images of Edward as a saint-king were part of a wider hagiographic image cycle developed in Westminster Abbey. The images incorporated Edward’s status as both a king and saint to promote cooperation between the Abbey and the monarchy. Similarly, coronation portraits of King Edward promoted Edward as an ideal king; these images embraced peaceful, Solomonic, and clergy-supported kingship. King Henry III’s images of Edward, found throughout his castles and palaces, built upon Westminster’s format and his messages maintained cooperation with the clergy. The images evolved under King Richard II as Edward was removed from his hagiographic context. Richard’s images of Edward were personal and self-serving, and Edward became a justification of Richard’s independent and sacral style of kingship. The images evolved from promoting Edward’s style of sainthood and kingship to providing overt divine support for Richard’s reign. This image study illuminates the symbolic purpose of Edward in Medieval English society and how his image was constructed and embraced by Westminster Abbey and the monarchy.
Influencer Advertisements, Disclosure and Branded Language: A Multi-Stakeholder Perspective

subject: Marketing
subject: FOS: Economics and business

description: Influencer marketing is a highly favoured avenue for brands to advertise their products and is a form of native advertising given how easily it blends into social media content. Disclosures are often used to help consumers identify advertisements amongst organic influencer content. A review of the literature shows that disclosures are effective at communicating advertising intent to consumers, however little research exists comparing types of disclosure. Additionally, while research has examined the impact of disclosure on advertising recognition it has rarely explored the impact of disclosure on outcomes such as credibility, engagement and emotions.
description: In addressing the aforementioned gaps in the literature, this thesis sets out to answer the question: ‘How and why does disclosure presence impact advertising recognition and outcomes of social media influencer marketing for different stakeholders?’. Further, to answer this question adequately and fully, four research objectives were investigated.
The Pharmacologic Prophylaxis of Pediatric Migraine: A Systematic Review, Survey and Design of a Randomized Controlled Trial

description: Objectives: 1) To describe the state of the evidence for interventions in pediatric migraine, 2) to survey experts regarding non-inferiority margins in migraine research and 3) to design a clinical trial in this area of research. Methods: A systematic review was carried out to identify randomized, placebo-controlled trials of pharmaceutical and nutraceutical interventions used to prevent migraine in children and adolescents, using Cochrane methods. Secondly, neurologists with expertise in Headache Medicine were invited to participate in a survey regarding their opinions on non-inferiority margins for outcomes used in clinical trials of migraine interventions. Thirdly, a protocol was written for a three-arm, parallel-group, randomized trial comparing the efficacy and safety of topiramate, levetiracetam and placebo for the prophylaxis of pediatric migraine. Results: The systematic review identified 19 articles of 12 interventions for pediatric migraine. The quality of the evidence was poor and few conclusions could be made. Ninety-nine eligible respondents completed the survey and non-inferiority margins for six outcomes were determined. A randomized controlled trial protocol was developed to determine if topiramate and levetiracetam are superior to placebo, and if levetiracetam is non-inferior to topiramate for the prevention of migraines in children and adolescents. Conclusions: It is hoped that the results of this thesis can be applied to further the evidence in this area of clinical research.
Rural Sports: The Poetry of Fishing, Fowling, and Hunting, 1650-1800

Eighteenth Century

description: "Rural Sports: The Poetry of Fishing, Fowling, and Hunting, 1650-1800" traces the evolution of poetry on the field sports over a 150-year span, with a view toward considering these poems in the first instance as sporting texts. This thesis analyzes sportsmen's attitudes toward their activities, noting the larger social implications of their sporting performances. The thesis also seeks to classify and understand the poems as distinct literary sub-genres. Current sociological insights into angling and hunting help to illustrate the poems' resemblances to one another, particularly Hobson Bryan's concept of "recreational specialization" and Norbert Elias's concept of "tension equilibrium." In providing a systematic survey of the rural sports poetry, this thesis argues that during successive stages of the period, poetry on certain sports came into vogue and then receded from fashion. This followed from historical and political developments but also from literary ones. The poetry on fishing after Izaak Walton's Compleat Angler (1653) maintained a dialogue between pastoral and georgic elements, as the two modes offered scope for the experience of angling. In the eighteenth century, the writers of hunting verse balanced a passion for sport with social and political awareness; hence, they tended to employ the techniques of the prospect view and topographical poetry, intermixing descriptive elements with didactic ones in the georgic mould. As the century progressed, hunting and shooting were either reproved in an increasing number of sentimental poems representing hunters as uncaring and pitiless toward animals or they were celebrated for their gentlemanly values and virtues in the manner of William Somervile's influential poem The Chace (1735) and George Markland's Pteryplegia (1727).

description: This study was the first to explore and develop methods of co-culture of the sea cucumber ‘sandfish’ (Holothuria scabra) with the Babylon snail (Babylonia areolata). The study was based at the Research Institute for Aquaculture #3 (RIA3) in, Nha Trang, Vietnam, and was conducted as part of the Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research (ACIAR) project FIS/2016/122 “Increasing technical skills supporting community-based sea cucumber production in Vietnam and the Philippines”. Chapter 1 synthesises current information relating to fisheries and aquaculture of both tropical and temperate sea cucumber species, with particular reference to sandfish (tropical) and the Japanese sea cucumber (Apostichopus japonicus; temperate). Despite significant development in the aquaculture of temperate species of sea cucumber, such as A. japonicus, global aquaculture production of sandfish is comparatively low, with just 477 tonnes produced at a value of USD 2.5 million. In an effort to boost production of sandfish recent developments have been made in various elements of sandfish culture in Vietnam, Madagascar, Papua New Guinea, and the Philippines.
The Application of Human Factors Methods to Performance Analysis in Football

description: Football is the most popular sport in the world. As such, performance analysis (PA) in elite level football has become an increasingly important component of the football coaching process. However, there are problems with current PA approaches, such as limitations in the methods used, the lack of a clear conceptual base for PA, questions surrounding the utility of outputs for coaches, and a substantial gap between the methods used in research, and those used in practice. This thesis is a direct response to these limitations, and involves applying and extending existing analysis methods used in the discipline of Human Factors (HF), typically applied in non-sports domains, to PA in football.
Rates of compliance and adherence to high-intensity interval training in insufficiently active adults: a systematic review and meta-analysis protocol

description: Background: Both high-intensity interval training and moderate-intensity continuous training demonstrate beneficial physiological outcomes for active and insufficiently active populations. However, it remains unclear whether compliance to exercise in supervised settings translates to long-term adherence to physical activity in real-world, unstructured environments. To our knowledge, no comprehensive review is available on compliance and/or adherence rates to either modes of exercise for insufficiently active individuals. Furthermore, it is unclear which training modality insufficiently active individuals comply and/or adhere more readily to. Based on these gaps, the following two questions will be addressed: (1) What are compliance and adherence rates to high-intensity interval training for insufficiently active adults aged 18–65 years and (2) How do compliance and adherence rates differ between high-intensity interval training and moderate-intensity continuous training? Methods: Both observational and experimental studies that report on compliance and/or adherence rates to high-intensity interval training will be included. Relevant studies will be retrieved from Medline, EMBASE, PsychINFO, SPORTDiscus, CINAHL, and Web of Science using a pre-specified search strategy. Pre-defined inclusion and exclusion criteria will be used by two independent researchers to determine eligible studies. Of those meeting the inclusion criteria, data extraction and narrative synthesis will be completed, and where applicable, random-effects meta-analyses will be computed to compare compliance and adherence rates between high-intensity interval training and moderate-intensity continuous training. Meta-regressions and sensitivity analyses will be used to further explore factors that could influence aggregate effect sizes. Risk of bias will be assessed using established tools by the Cochrane association, and quality assessment of the cumulative evidence will be assessed using the GRADE approach. Discussion: Results from this study may have the potential to inform future physical activity recommendations and guidelines on the ideal mode of exercise for the general population. This review will add to the body of literature on the feasibility of high-intensity interval training for an insufficiently active population, conclusively addressing the ongoing debate of whether it is an appropriate exercise choice for this demographic. With this new information, individuals working towards a healthier lifestyle through physical activity engagement may be better equipped to make an evidence-based decision. Systematic review registration: This review has been registered in the PROSPERO database and assigned the identifier CRD42019103313.
Composite metaphor, games and interface
Creators: name: Powell, Amy
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Metaphors are often used within computer interfaces to provide the user with cognitive prompts of how to use the system. Using concepts related to objects with which the user is already familiar, to represent similar functions within the system, interface designers are able to provide significant cognitive scaffolding. This technique, however, usually relies on a real-world equivalent on which to base the metaphor. In some computer systems, and in computer games in particular, often there are no directly analogous objects on which metaphorical prompts can be based. This has driven game designers to utilise composite metaphors; metaphors where a combination of objects, or a combination of objects and actions, are used to provide cognitive clues. This paper examines how composite metaphor is used within computer games to articulate the designers' conceptual model, subsequently guiding the user's development of an appropriate and accurate mental model.

L'anno 1961: dell'Angola o i figli disinvolti di Frantz Fanon
Creators: name: Russo, Vincenzo
Publisher: name: Università degli  Studi di Milano
Year: 2011

description: Fifty years after, Frantz Fanon’s The Wretched of the Earth continues to be one of theoretical models of black radical tradition. The thought of Frantz Fanon was also problematized by the constellation of writers who were engaged in the construction of postcolonial literary identity. The story of the relationship between Fanon and the national liberation movements in Angola illuminates not only political and military processes of decolonization in Africa but also the influence of Fanon's thought. In the Pepetela’s novel, A  Geração da Utopia (1992), Elias as a fanonian misreader, reformulates the Fanon’s thought to defend a racial position of UPA (União das Populações de Angola).

description: Sexual violence is a prominent and global health concern, characterised by a continuum of harmful sexual behaviour, ranging from coercion to engage in sexual acts to serious violent assault and even death. Origins of sexual violence encompass multiple pathways to offending, including genetic predispositions, adverse childhood experiences, sociocultural processes, and contextual influences. For perpetrators of sex crimes, a recurring consideration in treatment frameworks resides in an individual’s experience of sexual fantasies that arguably preceded and perpetuate harmful sexual behaviour. However, empirically supported psychological interventions for sexual fantasy management in the context of sexual violence perpetration are suboptimal, prompting the need for both further research and alternative treatment approaches. The theoretical underpinnings of both the cognitive nature of sexual fantasies and eye-movement desensitisation reprocessing (EMDR) therapy present opportunities for such exploration. Accordingly, this thesis (a) systematically examined the available evidence concerning psychological interventions for sexual fantasies; (b) explored how the phenomenological characteristics of sexual fantasies relate to sexual behaviour and differ between those with and without harmful sexual interests and behavioural history; and (c) investigated the efficacy of an abbreviated EMDR intervention for sexual fantasies in the general population. A literature review, four empirical studies, and a discussion were designed for this purpose. Collectively, the findings generated from this thesis may be used to inform future research and interventions regarding sexual violence perpetration, with the ultimate goal of mitigating risk of harm and promoting public safety.

description: The future depends on resources and how we manage them under various pressures inside and outside of the organisations or businesses in which we operate. With companies forced to deal with recent unprecedented events such as pandemics and other natural cataclysms while trying to adopt to rapidly changing markets and technologies, it is no longer enough to focus only on the economic side of the business. A robust business strategy will be dependent on how well a company balances financial, environmental, and social aspects and positions itself in terms of sustainable development (Alshehhi et al., 2018).
description: As sustainability can have different definitions depending on the context, the base definition used in this thesis is “meeting our needs today without compromising future generations’ ability to meet theirs” (Brundtland, 1987, p. 41). Corporate sustainability is, therefore, according to Elkington (1997 // 2002) how to expand the financial bottom line into a triple bottom line, which includes environmental and social aspects of corporate performance. In this thesis, the focus will be based on environmental aspects of sustainability to allow for delimitation of definitions and to aim for more clarity and measurability of variables.
description: This thesis reviewed how upper echelon theory (UET), as based on resource based theory (RBV), in combination with new institutional theory (InT), explains the role of Chief Sustainability Officers (CSOs) (also against the background of other management structures such as a sustainability committee (SC) and as moderated by governmental regulations) and how they influence the “greening” of companies and their relationship with Environmental and Financial Performance (EP and FP) in European manufacturing companies.

Le caractère instituant des luttes pour le sens se jouant entre les discours des mouvements autochtones et les discours gouvernementaux autour de la place et la représentation des « indios » sur la scène politique y est examiné. Pour y arriver, les discours de deux organisations autochtones, l’Armée de libération nationale zapatiste (EZLN) et la Confédération des nationalités indigènes de l’Équateur (CONAIE), et des discours présidentiels des deux pays sont analysés et mis en dialogue afin de restituer la complexité des relations interdiscursives. Cette méthode permet d’esquisser un tableau des positionnements adverses et des différentes opérations discursives menant à la transformation du champ politique et à la constitution d’un sujet politique autochtone.

description: Sexually transmitted Chlamydia trachomatis infections continue to be a widespread health concern. Despite all efforts, the natural course of C. trachomatis infections is still not fully understood, nor is the precise immune profile that is associated with protection. Protective immunity against C. trachomatis is characterized by interferon-gamma (IFN-γ)-mediated, intracellular tryptophan depletion, due to upregulation of the enzyme indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO1). IDO1 catabolizes the amino acid tryptophan into kynurenine, subsequently inhibiting the tryptophan auxotroph Chlamydia. One hypothesis in the field suggests that indole-producing bacteria in the vaginal microbiota might provide an alternative source for tryptophan, and therefore may influence the infection course. To investigate this hypothesis, we first used an in vitro model to rescue C. trachomatis from tryptophan depletion using supernatant from indole-positive versus indole-negative strains of the vaginal microorganism, Prevotella. Furthermore, we analyzed vaginal secretion samples to determine the range of physiological indole concentrations, and their potential in rescuing tryptophan-starved Chlamydia. We found that only supernatants from the indole-positive strains, P. intermedia and P. nigrescens, were able to rescue tryptophan-starved C. trachomatis. In spite of the complexity of vaginal secretions, we also demonstrated that for some vaginal specimens with higher indole levels, there was a link to higher recovery of the Chlamydia under tryptophan-starved conditions. Subsequently, we utilized a cohort of women who were either, Chlamydia negative, Chlamydia positive with a single infection, or Chlamydia positive with repeated infection. We characterized their vaginal microbiota composition, cytokine response, tryptophan, kynurenine and indole concentrations directly in vaginal secretions. We found that women with repeated C. trachomatis infection had significantly higher kynurenine/tryptophan ratios, as well as significantly elevated kynurenine levels. Moreover, low vaginal tryptophan levels were significantly associated with microbiota of community state type (CST) IV. Additionally, we were able to evaluate the indole-producing bacterial proportion in the vaginal microbiota of women in our cohort, and found a trend of higher vaginal indole/tryptophan ratios in women with Chlamydia infections. Further examination of mRNA levels of key genes in this pathway revealed an association between higher kynurenine and IDO1 levels in repeatedly infected women, leading to a local regulatory immunity demonstrated by high expression levels of FoxP3 and TGF-β following antibiotic treatment for Chlamydia.

description: The purpose of this Master’s thesis was to examine former high school athletes’ perspectives on life skill development and transfer. Individual semi-structured interviews were conducted with 22 individuals (12 females, 10 males) between the ages of 18-56. Participants were recruited from the Southwest and Eastern regions of Ontario, Canada. Based on the data collected, two articles were written. Article one presents the participants’ perspectives on their developmental experiences and the influence of the context associated with their high school sport participation. The findings revealed that different types of life skill experiences emanated from high school sport, but that negative experiences also ensued. Participants reported differences in terms of how high school sport was experienced in rural settings compared to urban settings. In article two, the Conceptual Framework for Life Skills Interventions was used to examine the participants’ life skill development and transfer experiences. The findings are consistent with aspects of the framework and provide tangible examples of life skill development and subsequent transfer for the same skill by the same individual. Collectively, the findings from this Master’s thesis illustrate how the life skills learned during high school sport are being transferred for use at various stages across the lifespan.

An Invisible Man (Ralph Ellison) reincarnates in Manchild in the Promised Land (Claude Brown) and becomes Shadows of Your Black Memory (Donato Ndongo)
Creators: name: Codling, Rosetta
Publisher: name: Università degli  Studi di Milano
Year: 2011

description: Ralph Ellison’s allegorical journey in Invisible Man (1994) launched a new era in African-American culture and Black literacy for the entire world in 1952. In 1965, Ellison’s tragic, Diasporic hero appears to have experienced a reincarnation in the epic of Manchild in the Promised Land (1999) by Claude Brown. Currently, lingering in the caverns of Shadows of Your Black Memory (2007), past and present, Donato Ndongo’s tragic, Diasporic hero (of Equatorial Guinean heritage) prompts us to relive the course of colonialism and neocolonialism ‘of the mind’ in this…. the new millennium.
This paper addresses the trilogy of resistance writing in Ellison’s Invisible Man, Brown’s Manchild in the Promised Land, and Ndongo’s Shadows of Your Black Memory. The experiences of the writers, political issues illustrated, and the impact upon the Black literary landscape (universal) will be explored.

The PhD in creative writing accompanied by an exegesis
Creators: name: Arnold, Josie
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The position of this paper is to further the discussion on what constitutes academic assessment in the PhD by artefact and exegesis. In doing so, it explores some of the ideas that arose in setting up the PhD in creative writing at Swinburne University of Technology. Thus, I: survey some of the questions that arise about the journeys made by the candidate, supervisor and examiner of the PhD in creative writing; introduce discussion about what constitutes academic knowledge with particular reference to the PhD in writing at Swinburne University of Technology, Lilydale Campus; bring to the fore multiple possibilities in understanding possible conceptualizations of legitimate scholarly, intellectual and cultural research; and survey some ideas about research and/as creativity. In doing so, I provide the basis for discussion of the dynamic nature of research, and situate this discussion within the framework of assessment.
Los que son y no son: percorsi di identità (so)nate nella Cuba della seconda metà del XIX secolo e inizi del XX
Creators: name: Campagna, Irene
Publisher: name: Università degli  Studi di Milano
Year: 2011

description: The son is configured into the orbit of Cuban popular music as the mulatto music genre par excellence,  thanks to the amalgam of musical elements and structural features of Spanish and African origins.
In its heyday - when are defined new modes of interpretation and new sonic possibilities - shares political and cultural unrest of vanguards that, through the recognition of the African component, try to build a coherent concept of nation, highlighting the contribution of black people to cultural and political processes. This work is based on the hypotheses suggested in some cuban studies recently published, about the causal relationship between the son’s development and the shape of national identity in the period of the Wars of Independence, to come to find through the  thematic analysis of representative texts the genre's functioning within this perspective.

During the 2023 Year of Open Science TOPS is planning a broad suite of resources, events, and activities. TOPS efforts are built on relationships with a variety of diverse communities. Critical to these relationships is open, candid, and complete two-way communication. This month, TOPS presented on  F.14 Transform to OPen Science Training (TOPST) solicits proposals to advance open science literacy. This element will support three types of activities:  development of ScienceCore materials, discipline specific curricula modules around NASA Science Mission Directorate (SMD) divisions, implementation of Summer Schools for SMD science teams, and Virtual Cohorts participating in OpenCore curricula training.
A Simulation Based Approximate Dynamic Programming Approach to Multi-class, Multi-resource Surgical Scheduling
Creators: name: Astaraky, Davood
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2013
Subjects: Approximate Dynamic Programming
Surgical Scheduling
Markov Decision Process

description: The thesis focuses on a model that seeks to address patient scheduling step of the surgical scheduling process to determine the number of surgeries to perform in a given day. Specifically, provided a master schedule that provides a cyclic breakdown of total OR availability into specific daily allocations to each surgical specialty, we look to provide a scheduling policy for all surgeries that minimizes a combination of the lead time between patient request and surgery date, overtime in the ORs and congestion in the wards. We cast the problem of generating optimal control strategies into the framework of Markov Decision Process (MDP). The Approximate Dynamic Programming (ADP) approach has been employed to solving the model which would otherwise be intractable due to the size of the state space. We assess performance of resulting policy and quality of the driven policy through simulation and we provide our policy insights and conclusions.

Del cimarrón Esteban a la intelectual Georgina. Notas sobre la evolución del género testimonial negro en Cuba
Creators: name: Bajini, Irina
Publisher: name: Università degli  Studi di Milano
Year: 2011

description: Starting from a due reflection on Miguel Barnet’s Cimarrón as the first experiment on a testimony-novel – and considering the problems and contradictions of a cultural and political operation in which the witness-informant’s voice risks being overcome or at least misinterpreted by the author-transcriber – this paper goes on to consider the evolution of the testimony genre in 1990s Cuba, where women of African descent often intervened by speaking or writing, and managed to impose their views autonomously.

Cohomology Operations and the Toral Rank Conjecture for Nilpotent Lie Algebras
Creators: name: Amelotte, Steven
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2013
Subjects: Lie algebra cohomology
toral rank

description: The action of various operations on the cohomology of nilpotent Lie algebras is studied. In the cohomology of any Lie algebra, we show that the existence of certain nontrivial compositions of higher cohomology operations implies the existence of hypercube-like structures in cohomology, which in turn establishes the Toral Rank Conjecture for that Lie algebra. We provide examples in low dimensions and exhibit an infinite family of nilpotent Lie algebras of arbitrary dimension for which such structures exist. A new proof of the Toral Rank Conjecture is also given for free two-step nilpotent Lie algebras.
