description: Häufig steht in der öffentlichen Debatte die vermeintlich fehlende Sozialverträglichkeit im Fokus. Wie verkürzt diese Sichtweise ist, zeigt eine neue Studie im Auftrag des Umweltbundesamtes. Sie beschreibt mit Hilfe von Wirkungsketten die breite Palette der möglichen Verteilungswirkungen umweltpolitischer Maßnahmen und berücksichtigt dabei auch den sozialen Nutzen von Umweltpolitik. Der erste Teil der Studie stellt die entwickelte Analysemethode dar, anschließend wird sie konkret auf einige umweltpolitische Instrumenten angewandt, etwa auf die Entfernungspauschale und Energiesparberatungen.
The Effects of Different Self-modeling Interventions on the Performance and Self-regulatory Processes and Beliefs of Competitive Gymnasts

Subjects: Psychological Skills Training

description: Self-modeling (SM) involves an observer viewing oneself on an edited video showing desired behaviors (Dowrick, & Dove, 1990). The impact of a SM video on skill acquisition has been frequently explored (e.g., Clark & Ste-Marie, 2006), however, few researchers have investigated SM in competition (Ste-Marie, Rymal, Vertes, & Martini, 2009). Also of limited study has been the underlying self-regulatory mechanisms engaged in alongside a SM video (e.g., Rymal, Martini, & Ste-Marie, 2010). To date, research has not investigated the effects of SM on gymnasts competitive bar performance or how it is used to self-regulate, nor whether SM increases self-regulation. Thus, the purpose here was to investigate the effects of a SM video on gymnasts’ physical performance and self-regulation. Of further interest was to explore the combination of SM and psychological skills training (PST) on competitive performance. Eighteen gymnasts were divided into two groups; SM+PST (n = 10) and SM (n =8). The SM+PST group took part in workshops one month prior to the competitions wherein links between SM and psychological skills were made. The SM group did not do the workshops. Gymnasts competed at four competitions; two received the SM video and two did not. For the video competitions, participants viewed their video three times prior to warm-up and once before competing. After one video competition and one competition that gymnasts did not receive the video, interview sessions were conducted with ten gymnasts. The results of the physical performance data did not show any significant group or condition main effects (all F’s < 1). Imagery ability, however, was a moderating variable. Gymnasts low in visual imagery ability benefitted from the use of the self-modeling video later in the season F(1, 16) = 5.976, p = .026, η2 = .27, (1 – β) = .63, but not early in the season. Through the qualitative analysis of interview questions, it can be said that gymnasts used the SM video as a task analysis strategy before, during, and after their competitive event. Analysis of transcripts also suggested that the SM video encouraged the use of certain self-regulatory processes and beliefs related to the forethought (i.e., before) and self-reflection (i.e., after) phases above and beyond that typically used when competing.
DACADE: a systematic data collection and analysis tool for design students
Creators: name: Sheikh Abdul Aziz, Madihah
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This study investigates about a lack of systematic data collection and analysis skills among design students, and then to attempt to solve the problem of a lack of such knowledge. This was done by designing, developing and evaluating a software tool that uses visual data collection and analysis techniques to help students understand the merits of systematic data collection of consumer performance and opinion, and carry out well-designed user tests to produce successful products. The thesis addresses several theoretical implications concerning the transfer of learning, the appropriateness of graphics used, and user motivation in a learning environment. It also proposed future studies.

description: A P56S mutation in the VAPB MSP domain is linked to adult-onset amyotrophic lateral sclerosis 8. The objective of this study is to characterize the functional role of VAPB in transport of NE and NPC proteins from the ER to the NE. Over-expression of VAPB-P56S blocked the transport of nucleoporins (Nups) and NE proteins, resulting in their sequestration in dilated cytoplasmic membranes. Simultaneous overexpression of the FFAT motif (two phenylalanines in an acidic track) antagonizes mutant VAPB effects and restores transport to the NE. VAPB function is required for transport to the NE because knockdown of endogenous VAPB recapitulates this phenotype. Moreover, the compartment in which Nups and NE proteins are sequestered and retained was identified as ER-Golgi intermediate compartment (ERGIC). Moreover, a defect in the transport of NE and NPC proteins attenuates nucleocytoplasmic shuttling of the glucocorticoid receptor (GR). Further, VAPB-P56S which is only soluble in SDS was solubilized in the Triton-X-100 fraction similar to VAPB-WT upon co-transfection with the FFAT motif suggesting that FFAT interacts with the insoluble VAPB-P56S protein changing its biophysical properties.

description: We show that a formalism proposed by Creutz to evaluate Grassmann integrals
provides an algorithm of complexity $O(2^n n^3)$ to compute the generating
function for the sum of the permanental minors of a matrix of order $n$. This
algorithm improves over the Brualdi-Ryser formula, whose complexity is at least
$O(2^{\frac{5n}{2}})$. In the case of a banded matrix with band width $w$ and
rank $n$ the complexity is $O(2^{min(2w, n)} (w + 1) n^2)$. Related algorithms
for the matching and independence polynomials of graphs are presented.
Examining the Use of a Self-controlled Self-modeling Video within a Competitive Setting
Creators: name: Vertes, Kelly
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2012

description: Feedforward self-modeling (FF-SM), the process of viewing an edited video of the self- performing above one’s current ability (Dowrick, 1999), has been shown to be an effective tool for enhancing athletes’ competitive performance (Ste-Marie, Rymal, Vertes, & Martini, 2011). At 3 consecutive competitions, 9 trampolinists aged 9-16 years old were provided a FF-SM video of their trampoline routine one hour prior to competing and were provided the opportunity to control their viewings at their leisure. On average, the trampolinists viewed their videos 5 times per competition at 2 different time intervals. Interviews revealed that they perceived the video enhanced their performance. They indicated they chose to watch it to assist with skill execution; although, self-reported outcomes did include increased motor execution, increased self-efficacy, use of task strategies, and adaptive inferences. Throughout the span of the intervention, the trampolinists reported changes in their use of imagery, self-talk, and self-observation.
A sociolinguistic study of bitburger platt german

Year: 2016
Subjects: German

Sociolinguistics

description: Bitburger Platt,  spoken in the Eifel  region of western Germany,  exhibits a merger  of the  Standard German (d) and (t) sounds, the reflexes of West Germanic  *6 and  *d,  respectively.  A chain  shift yielded the modern  Standard German variants. Biburger Platt,  however,  did not follow through with the first phase of this  shift;  rather, the two sounds  were merged into  [d]  in the dialect (Veith,  1999).  As an example, the  Standard German  phrase  du tust  ‘you do (cognate to English thou doest)'  is realized in Bitburger Platt as  [dou  dej s]. Bitburg is a town where many  (if not most) residents are undergoing or have  recently undergone a transition from  a home-based,  agrarian lifestyle to one requiring a  commute to an urban center and more contact with nonlocals.  Such a transition has been  shown by other studies (Hofmann,  1963, Besch,  1981, Lenz,  2003) to go hand-in-hand  with language shift,  specifically a shift from the use of base dialects (basilects) to  regional  colloquial varieties that lie on a continuum between the base dialect and the  standard and exhibit features of both. The effects of situational and  social factors on one's language use have long been  attested. Labov (1963,  1966) mainstreamed the discipline of studying such variation in  language, but others before his time  showed awareness of it as well  (Vietor,  1875,  Wegener,  1891).  A sociolinguistic study  can reveal much about a particular speech community,  ranging from  qualitative information on the community's attitudes toward  their language to quantifiable data that reveal  how the individual  community members  actually  speak. This  study focuses heavily  on the latter,  specifically investigating  correlations between participants'  age, gender,  and recording situation and their  articulation of the alveolar stop consonants (d) and (t). Participants first took part in recorded interviews with me,  and then in a  conversation with a close friend or family member,  during which I was not present.  Their  recordings were  subsequently  searched for all tokens with  Standard German (d) and (t)  correspondences in initial  and medial position.  Those tokens in initial  position underwent  analysis for  voice onset time   (VOT)  and  harmonic difference   (H1-H2), both proven to be  acoustic correlates to fortis/lenis contrasts (Lisker and Abramson,  1964, Jessen,  1996).  Medial tokens underwent analysis for the parameter of  closure duration,   also shown to be  a fortis/lenis correlate. Results indicate that participants  show an overwhelming preference for merged  variants in conversational  speech -  the indicator of dialecticity.  In interview speech,  however, the fortis/lenis contrast is maintained by all but the older men,  a likely  consequence of changing linguistic norms in the community.

description: Le premier volet de cette thèse en création littéraire, un récit, s’appuie sur une logique orientée à bâtir des passerelles là où c’est possible, et à mettre à plat les disciplines artistiques afin d’en révéler les limites. Cette difficulté particulière au coeur de la thèse met en place des stratégies d’hybridité susceptibles de renforcer l’intensité artistique inhérente à chaque discipline. Intitulé Décorps, le récit devenu ainsi hybride opère donc un rapport de synergie plastico-textuelle. Plus précisément, ce récit, à la frontière entre l’image et les mots, présente une narratrice, Valérie M., dont la voie/voix aboutit à une démarche non conventionnelle ouvrant un espace agonistique entre deux paroles artistiques, entre le même et l’autre, et entre le réel et la fiction. Le deuxième volet de cette thèse en création littéraire, une réflexion au sujet de l’entreprise artistico-littéraire, compte trois chapitres expliquant les raisons sous-jacentes au travail de création hybride. Pour ce faire, le premier chapitre examine les difficultés auxquelles doit faire face l’auteur-artiste dans un monde opaque. L’hybridité s’y découvre comme un outil herméneutique capable parfois d’introduire un minimum de sens dans un univers promis au chaos. Le deuxième chapitre explore pour sa part le métissage générique à partir de la notion d’autofiction à laquelle participe en partie Décorps. Il s’interroge sur les limites et la portée de ce type de représentation littéraire. Enfin, le troisième chapitre consiste en un retour sur Décorps en vue de comprendre ses processus d’hybridation et les tensions survenues au cours de la démarche artisticolittéraire. Ce dernier chapitre se penche sur le langage confronté à ses limites, touchant une forme de mort, de nécrose, là où il n’a plus de prise.

Discrete pascal transform-based authentication schemes for DICOM images
Creators: name: Goh, Antionette Wei Ting
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: With the prolific evolution of biomedical images acquisition from the analogue days to its current digital form, it is vital that the security of these images remain uncompromised. However, with widely available powerful digital image editing software, these images may fall vulnerable to untraceable modification leading to undesirable implications such as insurance and forensic fraud. This thesis highlights the relevance of watermarking in providing authentication for Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) biomedical images in the Discrete Pascal Transform (DPT) domain. Three experimental schemes were proposed and their potential capabilities in digital biomedical media authentication applications are discussed in this thesis.

description: Despite a clear impact on the Canadian economy, little is known about the subsequent health impacts of the 2008 Global Financial Crisis (GFC). This thesis aims to fill this gap in knowledge by conducting a secondary analysis of Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS) data to assess the impact of the GFC on health in Canada – a country that has not yet been thoroughly studied from this angle. Based on when the respondent completed the survey, exposure to the GFC was categorized into four phases: pre-crisis, crisis, stimulus, and austerity. Outcomes investigated include measures of mental health, physical health, and health-related behaviours. Statistically significant associations were observed between several health outcomes and the austerity period as compared to the pre-crisis period. Austerity has been linked to worsening health in other studies and represents an example of how the policy response can have greater detrimental impact on health than the financial crisis itself.
Store-Operated Response in CA1 Pyramidal Neurons Exhibits Features of Homeostatic Synaptic Plasticity

description: Homeostatic synaptic plasticity (HSP) regulates synaptic strength in response to changing neuronal firing patterns. This form of plasticity is defined by neurons’ ability to sense and over time integrate their level of firing activity, and to actively maintain it within a defined range. For instance, a compensatory increase in synaptic strength occurs when neuronal activity is chronically attenuated. However, the underpinning cellular mechanisms of this fundamental neural process remain poorly understood. We previously found that during activity deprivation, HSP leads to an increase in α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic (AMPA) receptor function as well as a shift in subunit composition from Ca2+-impermeable GluA2-containing AMPA receptors to Ca2+-permeable GluA2-lacking AMPA receptors not only at synapses, but also at extrasynaptic sites. Neurons therefore appear to be actively enhancing Ca2+ entry, possibly as a compensatory mechanism in response to a prolonged Ca2+ deficit. To test whether the homeostatic response may, at least in part, be mediated by internal Ca2+ stores, we depleted endoplasmic reticulum (ER) Ca2+ stores by using the Sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATPases (SERCA) pump blocker cyclopiazonic acid (CPA) for a prolonged period. Interestingly, we have found that prolonged Ca2+-store depletion leads not only to an increase in synaptic strength per se, but also a cell-wide increase in synaptic Ca2+-permeable GluA2-lacking AMPARs. This increase in Ca2+ influx following periods of inactivity is conceptually highly reminiscent of a store-operated response, whereby cells re-establish their calcium levels following Ca2+ store depletion using cell surface Ca2+ channels. Our results suggest that neurons use synaptic receptors as means to regulate store Ca2+ levels, thus significantly expanding our understanding of the repertoire used by neurons to modulate cellular excitability.

description: This paper examines Roberto Bolaño's rewriting of his own short story "Ramírez Hoffman, el infame" in the novel Estrella distante. It considers the re-narration of historical catastrophes as an ethical and political scheme, exploring Bolaño's poetics of narrative pluralization, as well as his ethics of reading as a critical experience. Following Idelber Avelar's theories on postdictatorial fiction, the paper highlights the author's effort to impede the resolution of the mourning process, opposing the politics of memory of the so-called Latin American democratic transition.

description: Wildlife ecotourism is becoming a well-established industry due to its ability to contribute to local economies and the growing tourist demand for opportunities to observe endangered or rare species. Wildlife ecotourism is also recognized for its ability to provide free choice-learning settings for visitors, through the use of environmental interpretation programs. The process of environmental interpretation is a communication phenomenon thought to hold the potential to contribute to conservation by educating and raising awareness amongst tourists about environmental issues. Using a qualitative phenomenological research design, this research examined the environmental interpretation programs of great white shark ecotourism operators in Gansbaai, South Africa, from the perspective of tourists. Findings indicated that while tourists did not primarily choose to embark on shark tourism excursions to learn more about the species, many participants became slightly more informed about great whites and the surrounding environment after their experience. It was also found that most participants did not experience nervousness or fear when in the water with great whites, but instead felt an emotional connection and appreciation for the animal, causing a shift towards pro-conservation attitudes.

description: The excess numbers of blue galaxies at faint magnitudes are a long-standing cosmological puzzle. We present new number-magnitude counts as a function of galactic morphology from the first deep fields of the Cycle 4 Hubble Space Telescope Medium Deep Survey project. From a sample of 301 galaxies we define counts for elliptical, spiral and irregular/peculiar galaxies to I=22. We find two principal results. Firstly the elliptical and spiral galaxy counts both follow the predictions of high-normalisation no-evolution models at all magnitudes, indicating that regular Hubble types evolve only slowly to z~ 0.5. Secondly we find that irregular/peculiar galaxies, including multiple-peaked, possibly merging, objects, have a very steep number-magnitude relation and greatly exceed predictions based on proportions in local surveys. These systems make up half the total counts by I=22 and imply the rapidly-evolving component of the faint galaxy population has been identified.

Subjects: Suicide assisté
Euthanasie
Légalisation

description: L'objectif de la thèse était d’élaborer un projet de réforme du droit, visant la légalisation du suicide assisté et de l’euthanasie au Canada, projet qui s’inscrit dans le cadre théorique du libéralisme politique, qui respecte les principes dégagés par la jurisprudence en matière de protection des droits fondamentaux et qui, finalement, s’inspire des meilleures pratiques à l’étranger. La méthodologie consistait principalement en une analyse de la législation, de la jurisprudence et de la doctrine, canadienne et étrangère, en matière de suicide assisté et d’euthanasie. Des emprunts à des sources doctrinales en philosophie ont également été faits et un projet de loi a été rédigé, à partir des analyses effectuées. La thèse se divise en quatre chapitres. Le premier chapitre présente le cadre théorique, plus précisément une comparaison entre deux théories appliquées au suicide assisté : le libéralisme et le moralisme. Le deuxième chapitre consiste en une analyse du droit canadien en matière de suicide assisté, où l’encadrement législatif du suicide assisté et la jurisprudence portant sur les articles 7 et 15 de la Charte canadienne sont examinés. Le troisième chapitre présente une analyse du droit étranger, dans les états où le suicide assisté et l’euthanasie sont permis : la Suisse, les Pays-Bas, la Belgique, le Luxembourg, et quatre états américains (Oregon, Washington, Vermont et Montana). Finalement, dans le quatrième chapitre, sont proposés un projet de loi fédéral qui légalise le suicide assisté et l’euthanasie, ainsi qu’une justification de ce projet de loi et une comparaison avec d’autres projets de légalisation du suicide assisté et de l’euthanasie. Le projet de loi rédigé s’inscrit dans la théorie du libéralisme politique, respecte les droits fondamentaux eu égard à la jurisprudence et s’inspire des régimes en vigueur aux Pays-Bas, en Belgique et au Luxembourg.

Synthesis of Scleroglucan-Smectite Composite Based on Porto Santo Bentonite
Creators: name: Dzene, Liva
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2014
Subjects: biopolymer - clay composite
Porto Santo bentonite
scleroglucan

description: In this thesis, a smectite rich bentonite ore deposit from Porto Santo Island (Portugal) was characterized and then applied to prepare clay-biopolymer nanocomposite material. Natural clay sample is mainly composed of Fe rich smectite, having also feldspar, calcite and magnetite-maghemite minerals. Both montmorillonite from the clay source repository (SWy-2) and the Porto Santo bentonite were used for the nanocomposite synthesis. An exocellular polysaccharide – scleroglucan was used as a biopolymer. The X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy results show that smectite is well dispersed in the scleroglucan matrix with partial exfoliation. The study of various experimental parameters reveal that only the scleroglucan/clay mineral mass ratios determine the level of the clay sheets’ dispersion in the polymer matrix. Compared to SWy-2, the Porto Santo bentonite shows a smaller degree of dispersion within the polymer matrix, but nevertheless its potential outstanding mechanical properties could be of interest for further studies.
Towards the Development of an Automatic Diacritizer for the Persian Orthography based on the Xerox Finite State Transducer

disambiguation

description: Due to the lack of short vowels or diacritics in Persian orthography, many Natural Language Processing applications for this language, including information retrieval, machine translation, text-to-speech, and automatic speech recognition systems need to disambiguate the input first, in order to be able to do further processing. In machine translation, for example, the whole text should be correctly diacritized first so that the correct words, parts of speech and meanings are matched and retrieved from the lexicon. This is primarily because of Persian’s ambiguous orthography. In fact, the core engine of any Persian language processor should utilize a diacritizer and a lexical disambiguator. This dissertation describes the design and implementation of an automatic diacritizer for Persian based on the state-of-the-art Finite State Transducer technology developed at Xerox by Beesley & Karttunen (2003). The result of morphological analysis and generation on a test corpus is shown, including the insertion of diacritics. This study will also look at issues that are raised by phonological and semantic ambiguities as a result of short vowels in Persian being absent in the writing system. It suggests a hybrid model (rule-based & inductive) that is inspired by psycholinguistic experiments on the human mental lexicon for the disambiguation of heterophonic homographs in Persian using frequency and collocation information. A syntactic parser can be developed based on the proposed model to discover Ezafe (the linking short vowel /e/ within a noun phrase) or disambiguate homographs, but its implementation is left for future work.
When meme meets gene: Mindflux, mutagen and the virtual replicators
Creators: name: Barnet, Belinda
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Mindflux is a collective of electronic artists based in Adelaide, an 'amorphous blob' comprising several (de)central conspirators and a network of cohorts from around the world. Dedicated to exploring the dependency loops of virtual/actual, stasis/evolution, human/machine, the group assemble interactive spaces that are, according to artist and programmer Nik Gaffney, 'a primeval soup of possible memes'. Cross-fertilising the mutant streams of evolutionary biology, chaos theory and electronic art in a 'nomadic' fashion, Mindflux write themselves into the space between the virtual and the (virtually receding) actual.
Comment penser le politique ? Les tâches contemporaines de la philosophie politique selon Raymond Geuss, Chantal Mouffe et Pierre Manent

Jugement politique

description: Cette thèse concerne la pensée de trois auteurs qui s’interrogent quant à la manière dont les philosophes politiques devraient procéder pour en arriver à comprendre et à juger les phénomènes politiques de manière adéquate : Raymond Geuss, Chantal Mouffe et Pierre Manent. Plus spécifiquement, elle se propose d’étudier les critiques que ces derniers dirigent à l’endroit de l’approche dominante en philosophie politique contemporaine et qui est à leur avis le mieux exemplifiée par l’œuvre de John Rawls. Aux yeux de ces derniers, cette approche, qui consiste essentiellement à s’engager dans une réflexion abstraite sur la nature de la justice définie comme l’ensemble des droits politiques dont les citoyens devraient légitimement pouvoir jouir, souffre d’un important manque de réalisme, c’est-à-dire qu’elle reflète très peu la délibération dans laquelle les citoyens et les hommes politiques doivent concrètement s’engager pour faire face aux problèmes politiques réels. Dans un premier temps, l’auteur expose les objections que Geuss, Mouffe et Manent formulent contre la philosophie rawlsienne et il présente les fondements de la pensée de ces trois auteurs. Il s’efforce ensuite de vérifier si leur critique du normativisme abstrait en philosophie politique nous permet toujours de penser un certain fondement aux jugements politiques.

description: The latest novel by Andres Rivera, Kadish, published in 2011, has not yet received the attention of academia. This article analyses, in the above mentioned novel, the representation of the memories of the experiences of authoritarianism and terror in the last military dictatorship (1976-1983) in Argentina in the context of a Jewish tradition of memory. This study argues that the novel, that has a Benjaminean underlying conception of history, pays homage to the oppressed of history, remembered in the tradition of the Memorbijer and the Izker-bijer.

description: • Paired treatments with and without application of GA at bloom were applied to Thompson Seedless vines that were • cluster-thinned at prebloom, and berrythinned at shatter, • cluster-thinned and berry-thinned at prebloom, or • cluster-thinned and berry-thinned at shatter stage following bloom. Unsprayed clusters from vines that were cluster-thinned at prebloom or cluster- and berrythinned at prebloom stage were very compact. All combinations of thinning that included applications of GA at bloom produced clusters that were looser than the corresponding unsprayed clusters. GA increased berry size, and clusters that received GA usually had fewer shot berries than did corresponding unsprayed clusters. • Prebloom thinning increased the number of berries per cm. of lateral, but applications of GA at bloom greatly decreased the amount of set. • A reduction of flower shatter occurred as a results of prebloom thinning.
