Mind the gap: filling in the missing pieces for star clusters
Creators: name: Forbes, Duncan
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: My colleagues and I have confirmed the existence of a new type of star cluster---as published recently in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society. But what are star clusters, and why do they matter? When you look up at the night sky you see individual stars belonging to our galaxy, the Milky Way. But you may also see satellites of the Milky Way. The most famous of these are the clouds of Magellan, named after the Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan. Under good conditions, you might also see a compact cluster of stars---a globular cluster. Globular clusters are dense, spherical collections of stars that orbit around the Milky Way like moths around a light bulb. They are over 10 billion years old and thought to have formed just after the Big Bang. In this sense they are the fossils of the astronomical world providing clues to the early universe and the process of galaxy formation.

Subjects: subject: Religion, Philosophy of.

description: This doctoral dissertation studies the relationship between the development of Merton's view of contemplation and Merton's extensive interest in and writings on Zen and classical Taoism. It aims to show that Merton's later view of contemplation is influenced by his appropriation of the teachings of Zen-Taoism. The opening chapter of the dissertation explores the origin, the extent, and the reasons for Merton's interest in Zen and classical Taoism. It explains how Merton's interest in Zen-Taoism grew enormously in the mid 1950s. Zen-Taoism became one of his chief areas of interest between 1959 and 1968, during the last ten years of his life. The second chapter analyzes the content of Merton's writing on classical Taoism, particularly The Way of Chuang Tzu. The chapter indicates that The Way of Chuang Tzu consists of 62 passages chosen from the standard version of the Chuang Tzu. Merton's version of the Chuang Tzu reflects his personal appropriation of the teachings of Master Chuang. The third chapter studies Merton's writings on Zen, including Mystics and Zen Masters, Zen and the Birds of Appetite, and a number of other essays. The chapter shows how Merton's understanding of Zen is informed by the writings of Suzuki, Hui-neng, and other Chinese Zen Masters of the Southern school. Chapter four begins to explore the development of Merton's understanding of contemplation. It investigates Merton's foundational knowledge of contemplation by attending to his references to the works of Etienne Gilson, Jacques Maritain, Thomas Aquinas, Augustine of Hippo, and John of the Cross. Chapter five examines Merton's early view of contemplation by studying mainly three pieces of his early works, which were written in between 1999 and 1958: What Is Contemplation?, Seeds of Contemplation, and The Ascent to Truth. Chapter six studies Merton's later writings on contemplation, which were written in between 1959 and 1968. These writings betray a substantially different way of understanding contemplation, one which contains a number of new emphases and elements not found in the early writings. Chapter seven further explores the scope of the influence of Zen-Taoism on Merton's later view of contemplation. It focuses on several areas of change in the later writings and investigates the extent to which those changes are influenced by Zen-Taoism. The last chapter of this dissertation evaluates Merton's later view of contemplation. It points out that Merton's later view of contemplation reflects a more ecumenical attitude.

description: Se situant d'une part, à un niveau d'âge qui a déjà fait l'objet de recherches en apprentissage des mathématiques et d'autre part, dans un contexte social connu; la présente recherche vise à cerner le processus suivi par l'apprenant haïtien de la troisième année du primaire d'âge normal pour résoudre un problème de type additif. Une revue exhaustive de la littérature appropriée a permis de déduire que l'apprenant du primaire, en situation de résolution de problèmes, se fait une représentation de l'énoncé, laquelle est influencée par la taille des nombres enjeu, le vocabulaire utilisé, la place de la question posée. Cela a permis de dresser une typologie différente de problèmes de type additif selon que l'on se situe au pôle sémantique ou de calcul relationnel. Malheureusement l'état actuel des connaissances n'a pas permis de cerner le processus suivi par l'apprenant pour aboutir à cette représentation. C'est ce que la présente recherche vise à vérifier. Pour y parvenir, cette recherche a emprunté le modèle de Bergeron et Herscovics (1988), lequel définit de manière satisfaisante le processus mental de l'apprenant en pareille situation.

Managing software development knowledge: A conceptually-oriented software engineering environment (COSEE).
Creators: name: Ghali, Nagi.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1993
Subjects: subject: Computer Science.

description: Software development, especially for large and complex systems, has long been recognized as a difficult and expensive process. Major software development problems (such as insufficient reuse of software, inadequate machine assistance for software developers, uncoordinated tools, excessive time spent during the maintenance phase, and poor documentation) have not yet been properly addressed. Most current software development environments do not provide satisfactory solutions for these problems. In our research, we investigated these problems and we will suggest a solution that will help to eliminate some of them. We built an environment called COSEE (Conceptually-Oriented Software Engineering Environment), on top of a knowledge management system (CODE). In COSEE, we captured three most important types of knowledge needed by software developers/maintainers: domain knowledge, design knowledge, and implementation knowledge. We dynamically linked COSEE to the programming environment (Smalltalk-80) to create a unified knowledge management system for software development. We used the object-oriented approach as our design methodology and Smalltalk-80 as our implementation language. We illustrated our approach using the ATM (Automated Teller Machine) example.

An architectural model for mobile agent-based applications.
Creators: name: Ford, Bruce.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1997
Subjects: subject: Engineering, Electronics and Electrical.

description: Recently, several important trends have emerged in the context of the rapidly expanding Internet, including increased consumption of network bandwidth as multimedia applications become more heavily used, strong consumer pressure for more powerful tools for efficiently navigating through the immense volumes of information available on the Internet and user demand for services that are customized to the user's individual needs. Mobile agents possess many of the attributes required to address these trends. Mobile agents can be generally defined as software entities that migrate through a network and perform processing functions on a client's behalf at remote sites. Mobile agents contain executable software scripts that are interpreted by each network site that is visited. By migrating the processing functions that are traditionally performed at the client site to a remote server, mobile agents represent a new paradigm for network communications. This thesis describes a mobile agent architectural model that is capable of efficiently supporting multimedia applications. The architectural model describes an internal system architecture based on a set of re-useable architectural building blocks. Another key facet of the architectural model is the specification of an application-independent structure for mobile agents and the integration of this structure into an application layer protocol. The application protocol, referred to as Mobile Agent Protocol (MAP), is specifically designed to enable mobile agents to travel through the network in a secure and efficient manner; the protocol is based on the TCP/IP protocol stack and is specified using Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN. 1).
Preparation and characterisation of thermal sprayed neodymium iron boron magnetic coatings
Creators: name: Gan, Jo Ann
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Neodymium iron boron (Nd-Fe-B) is a type of rare-earth transition-metal hard magnet that is one of the strongest hard magnetic materials in the industry; and a very popular magnetic material in a variety of applications, from electronic devices to aerospace industries. Magnetic Nd-Fe-B films or coatings have been conventionally deposited using physical deposition methods, which is time and cost consuming and cannot produce films of thicknesses beyond 10 μm. In this work, thermal spray technology has been used as a cost-efficient alternative to the conventional techniques used to deposit Nd-Fe-B coatings. The coatings were deposited via flame spray and plasma spray techniques. The coatings deposited via flame spray technique were unable to build up beyond 50 μm thick, although the splat analysis showed reasonably well molten splats. The plasma spray process, on the other hand, was able to deposit coatings with thickness of ~200 μm. The microstructural features of the coatings, including the porosity and phase content, were analysed in detail to optimise the coating microstructure for magnetic and mechanical performance.

description: With the dramatic increment of complexity, more microfluidic devices require 3D structures, such as multi-depth and -layer channels. The traditional multi-step photolithography is time-consuming and labor-intensive and also requires precise alignment during the fabrication of microfluidic devices. Here, we present an inexpensive, single-step, and rapid fabrication method for multi-depth microfluidic devices using a high-resolution liquid crystal display (LCD) stereolithographic (SLA) three-dimensional (3D) printing system. With the pixel size down to 47.25 μm, the feature resolutions in the horizontal and vertical directions are 150 μm and 50 μm, respectively. The multi-depth molds were successfully printed at the same time and the multi-depth features were transferred properly to the polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) having multi-depth channels via soft lithography. A flow-focusing droplet generator with a multi-depth channel was fabricated using the presented 3D printing method. Experimental results show that the multi-depth channel could manipulate the morphology and size of droplets, which is desired for many engineering applications. Taken together, LCD SLA 3D printing is an excellent alternative method to the multi-step photolithography for the fabrication of multi-depth microfluidic devices. Taking the advantages of its controllability, cost-effectiveness, and acceptable resolution, LCD SLA 3D printing can have a great potential to fabricate 3D microfluidic devices.
Mother and the other: situating New Zealand women's captivity narratives in a transcolonial settler culture of anxiety
Creators: name: Brieger, Andreas
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This article analyses nineteenth-century women's captivity narratives in the white settler colony New Zealand. It asks how white femininity and indigenous masculinity are represented and how these notions relate to representations of white masculinity and indigenous femininity. Moreover, the article examines the relationship between colonial gender identities and British bourgeois ideals of respectable gender images. By comparing the New Zealand case with the early modern North American narrative of Mary Rowlandson and the Australian Eliza Fraser stories, the author argues that New Zealand can be included in a transcolonial culture of captivity, as it shares a transcolonial repertoire of discursiverhetorics, strategies and anxieties.

Substituent effects on chemical shifts and geminal coupling constants of benzylic protons.
Creators: name: Renaud, Roger N.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1970
Subjects: subject: Chemistry, Organic.

description: Four series of rigid molecules were synthesized, namely, 6-substituted-phthalides, 5-substituted-3-phenylphthalans, 2-substituted-5H-dibenzo[a,d]cycloheptenes and 2-substituted-10, 11-epoxy-10,11-dihydro-5H-dibenzo[a,d]cycloheptenes. The nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum of each compound was measured and the benzylic proton absorptions analyzed. The chemical shifts, geminal coupling constants and in some cases the vicinal and the long range coupling constants obtained from these analyses were plotted against the Hammett sigma values in each series. The rho values obtained from these plots show that the chemical shifts of the benzylic protons depend partially on the conformation of the methylenic protons with respect to the benzene ring. Other factors also contribute to the observed rho values. The rho values for the geminal coupling constants depend entirely on the orientation of the two protons with respect to the benzene ring. Evidence on the conformation of 10,11-epoxy-10,11-dihydro-5H-dibenzo [a,d]cycloheptene was provided by variable temperature NMR measurements and an examination of Dreiding models. It is concluded that the epoxy group occupies a quasi-equatorial conformation. Assignments of configuration of the protons in position 5 with respect to the epoxy group in 2-methoxy-10,11-epoxy-10,11-dihydro-5H-dibenzo[a,d]cycloheptene were made from a determination of their intramolecular nuclear Overhauser effects.

Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Biology, Ecology.

description: Physical and chemical variables were measured in riffle zones of 20 Fraser River tributaries, British Columbia, to examine which factors explain variation in algal biomass and taxonomic composition. July epilithic periphyton chlorophyll a was weakly correlated with TN, while October periphyton was significantly related to DP and conductivity. The phytoplankton biomass in July was best predicted by TP (r2 = 0.70, p ≤ 0.001, n = 19), while October phytoplankton was best predicted by a multiple regression with conductivity, current velocity and TN. In terms of taxonomic composition in October, Bacillariophyta was most abundant, followed by Chlorophyta, Cyanobacteria and Phaeophyta. DP and current velocity explained 25% of the taxonomic variation among the rivers in a CCA. While changes in the relative abundance of specific diatom taxa were observed, shifts in division dominance were not. River algal biomass could be predicted from environmental variables, however the empirical models differed between July and October.

description: Trotz steigender Abfallmengen konnte in den letzten Jahren durch den schrittweisen Ausbau der Getrenntsammelsysteme und Zuleitung der Abfallfraktionen zum Recycling die stoffliche Verwertung stetig gesteigert werden. Dennoch schlummern teils noch erhebliche Wertstoffpotenziale insbesondere im Restmüll, wie kürzlich die vom UBA veröffentlichten Ergebnisse zur repräsentativen bundesweiten Restmüllanalyse mit dem Bezugsjahr 2018 zeigen. Zusätzlich wird das Trennverhalten der deutschen Bevölkerung in den Kontext eingeordnet. Darüber hinaus zeigen sich Unterschiede beim Trennverhalten nach Milieus, Alter, Geschlecht und der vorhandenen Infrastruktur. Sensibilisierung und (interkulturelle bzw. kultursensible) Kommunikation zum Thema Abfallvermeidung und Abfalltrennung sind nach wie vor nötig und künftig auszubauen, um die Kreislaufwirtschaft weiter voranzutreiben. © 2020 Erich Schmidt Verlag GmbH & Co.

description: Despite increasing quantities of waste, the gradual expansion of the separate collection systems and the supply of the waste fractions for recycling have allowed the material recovery to be steadily increased. Nevertheless, there is stil considerable potential for valuable materials, especially in residual waste, as recently shown by the results published by the German Environment Agency on the representative nationwide residual waste analysis with the reference year 2018. In addition, the separation behavior of the German population is put into this context. There are also differences in the separation behavior according to milieus, age, gender and the existing infrastructure. Awareness-raising and (intercultural or culture-sensitive) communication on the subject of waste prevention and waste separation are still necessary and need to be expanded in the future in order to further promote the closure of the circular economy. © 2020 Erich Schmidt Verlag GmbH & Co.

description: This study investigates how background music influences learning with respect to three different theoretical approaches. Both the Mozart effect as well as the arousal-mood-hypothesis indicate that background music can potentially benefit learning outcomes. While the Mozart effect assumes a direct influence of background music on cognitive abilities, the arousal-mood-hypothesis assumes a mediation effect over arousal and mood. However, the seductive detail effect indicates that seductive details such as background music worsen learning. Moreover, as working memory capacity has a crucial influence on learning with seductive details, we also included the learner’s working memory capacity as a factor in our study. We tested 81 college students using a between-subject design with half of the sample listening to two pop songs while learning a visual text and the other half learning in silence. We included working memory capacity in the design as a continuous organism variable. Arousal and mood scores before and after learning were collected as potential mediating variables. To measure learning outcomes we tested recall and comprehension. We did not find a mediation effect between background music and arousal or mood on learning outcomes. In addition, for recall performance there were no main effects of background music or working memory capacity, nor an interaction effect of these factors. However, when considering comprehension we did find an interaction between background music and working memory capacity: the higher the learners’ working memory capacity, the better they learned with background music. This is in line with the seductive detail assumption.
SIMPL-T: SDL intended for management and planning of tests

Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Computer Science.

description: The correctness and completeness of the requirement specifications are critical in the software lifecycle. Validation of the specifications against the user requirements is essential for ensuring software quality and reducing development cost. SDL (Specification and Description Language) specifications may be validated using TTCN (Testing and Test Control Notation); however TTCN has a much wider scope and broader purpose. For testing SDL specifications, only a small part of TTCN is needed. Therefore, for many projects and organizations, it is not economical or efficient to use TTCN to validate SDL specifications. This thesis introduces a new language SIMPL-T (SDL Intended for Management and Planning of Tests), which is a simple test language for SDL specifications. It is defined as a minimal extension of existing SDL features so as to provide essential test specification functionality. It is understandable to persons familiar with SDL, and therefore immediately useful for SDL users.

Beyond Rehousing: Community Integration of Women Who Have Experienced Homelessness

Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: Women's Studies.
subject: Psychology, Clinical.
subject: Sociology, Public and Social Welfare.

description: Homelessness is an important social problem in Canada, and the needs and experiences of women may differ from those of other homeless people. Little research has looked beyond rehousing to examine community integration following homelessness. Predictive models of three distinct facets of community integration for women who have experienced homelessness are presented and tested in this thesis. The first model examines physical integration, which is defined in terms of attaining and retaining stable housing. The second model predicts economic integration, defined in terms of participation in work or education. The third model predicts psychological integration, defined as psychological sense of community in one's neighbourhood. Data for this research comes from a two-year longitudinal study conducted in Ottawa. Participants were women aged 20 and over (N =101) who were homeless at the study's outset. Family status was an important predictor of community integration. Women who were accompanied by dependent children were more likely than those unaccompanied by children to be physically, economically and psychologically integrated in their communities. Having access to subsidized housing predicted becoming rehoused and living in one's current housing for longer. Greater perceived social support predicted living in one's current housing for longer. Past work history and mental health functioning predicted economic integration. Lower levels of education predicted returns to full-time studies. Living in higher quality housing and having more positive contact with neighbours predicted psychological integration, while living in one's current housing for longer predicted lower levels of psychological integration. Overall, participants achieved a moderate level of community integration. The majority had been housed for at least 90 days at follow-up. However, only a minority were participating in the workforce or education at follow-up. Participants achieved only a moderate level of psychological integration. Results are discussed in terms of implications for policy and service provision. Improvements in the availability and quality of affordable housing, as well as employment support are recommended. Special attention needs to be paid to providing adequate and effective services for women who are unaccompanied by dependent children.
The imperial problem in British political economy, 1763--1786
Creators: name: Szpakowicz, Blazej
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2007
Subjects: subject: History, European.
subject: History, United States.

description: This thesis engages with two prominent themes in eighteenth-century British historiography, examining Anglo-American relations after the American Revolution and the influence of economic theory on policy during this period. It considers traditional ideas, often labelled 'mercantilist,' about the nature of economy and the manner in which free trade theories were related to those beliefs. It argues that free trade was fundamentally influenced by 'mercantile' thought even while rejecting it. The influence of both 'mercantile' and liberal economic thought on policy is evaluated by examining the commercial negotiations associated with the 1783 Treaty of Paris and Parliamentary investigations into West Indian-United States trade relations in the mid-1780s. It concludes that policymakers subscribed to a mixture of 'mercantile' and liberal economic thought; moreover, although their decisions were responses to particular economic circumstances, their frames of reference were coloured both by economic theory and by aspirations for a post-revolutionary British Empire.

description: Die auf der Heidecksburg seit 1940 magazinierte Waffensammlung ist die einzig erhaltene fürstliche Zeughaussammlung in Ostdeutschland. Sie umfasst einen seit dem 15. Jahrhundert gewachsenen Bestand von 4 000 Waffen und Ausrüstungsgegenständen des schwarzburgischen Militärs, der durch Prunkwaffen aus fürstlichen Besitz ergänzt wurde. Lediglich 300 Objekte können seit 1962 in einer Ausstellung auf der Rudolstädter Heidecksburg gezeigt werden, der überwiegende Teil ist magaziniert und konnte bis 2011 weder restauriert noch öffentlich präsentiert werden.
Somit ergab sich als Zielstellung die Gesamtsanierung bzw. Restaurierung dieses außerordentlich wertvollen Magazinbestandes, um eine für 2015 geplante Wiedereinrichtung des 1940 zerstörten Zeughauses in Schwarzburg zu ermöglichen. Das KUR-Projekt ermöglichte zwischen 2008 und 2011 mit Mitteln in Höhe von 100 000,00 € diese umfangreiche Arbeit.
Die Ergebnisse des Projektes stellen einen grundsätzlichen Meilenstein in der Planung zur Wiedereinrichtung des Zeughauses dar. Erst durch diese Maßnahme war es möglich, über eine Rekonstruktion der historisch überlieferten Präsentationsform – in einer ansonsten leeren Bauhülle – nachzudenken. Jetzt scheint eine Realisierung möglich, das neue Museum könnte ab 2015 eine neue Attraktion der deutschen Museumslandschaft werden, da es nachweislich in Deutschland kein weiteres Zeughausgebäude gibt, das in seiner historisch überlieferten Ausstattung rekonstruiert werden könnte.
Everyone Wearing a Uniform: North American Media Coverage of Canadian Police, Police Organizational Communication Efficacy and Officer Self-legitimacy in a post-George Floyd Digital Age
Creators: name: S. Reid, Charles
Publisher: name: University of Leicester
Year: 2024

description: Global media coverage of policing and their interactions with various marginalized communities continues to generate discourse about the role of policing in cities and provinces systems of public-police interactions in the United States and Canada is increasing a public pressure of a need to address a notion that the current Peelian-based system needs to be modernized to manage the complexity of an increasingly diverse population and social problems affecting society. While there is some research studying how the mediation of the profession in n era of increasing mediatization in the U.S. affects police self-legitimacy, there is no existing research of how negative publicity of American-based police-citizen interactions affect Canadian police officers. This research conducted through a constructive grounded theoretical framework indicates police self-legitimacy is influenced by how effective police organization communication is at navigating transnational negative publicity after crisis events occur throughout North America. Data emerging from this qualitative research suggests Canadian police officers are increasingly looking to their organizations to take on a more proactive role humanizing the profession and educating the public about what they do, how they’re trained, comparing oversight structures between Canada and the U.S., as well as engaging with their communities in a meaningful way. Furthermore, this research also suggests there is a relationship between police organizational communication efficacy and officer self-legitimacy, which in turn can influence the quality of citizen-police officer outcomes. This study has implications for many first responder public service professions in Canada in addition to policing, including firefighters, paramedics, nurses, and physicians.
Interpretation design: building knowledge from practice
Creators: name: Roberts, Toni
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This thesis seeks to understand the role of design in the practice of interpretation and distinguish its key characteristics as a multidisciplinary practice. Interpretation is practised in a range of contexts including heritage sites, museums and zoos and seeks to inspire, provoke and educate visitors. The content of interpretation projects may concern culture, history or the natural world. Interpretation design is the planned creation of environments that communicate information, ideas and messages to visitors. Designers seek to engage visitors through sensory, cognitive and kinaesthetic modes, visitors co- creating their experience through prior knowledge, motivations and actions. Design products include physical and sensory environments, artworks, trails and the presentation of media, objects and text in narrative, thematic or scientific arrangements. Although widely practiced, interpretation design is poorly represented within the literatures of design and interpretation and its practice is ill-defined. Interpretation designers can experience significant obstacles in practice due to a lack of client understanding and the late engagement of designers. The thesis addresses these limitations, arguing that design has the potential to play a strategic, integrative role in the development of interpretation projects. Using qualitative methods including practitioner interview and case study, the research examines the role of contracted interpretation designers and how project factors support or constrain their contribution. The research focuses on projects that interpret nature in museums and zoos, these bringing a specific set of concerns to the design process. Concepts of nature sit at the heart of such projects, nature being confined, refined and designed, yet clients rarely articulate their intended portrayal of nature to designers. The thesis articulates practitioner knowledge and presents an original typology of interpretation design outcomes. Two case studies examine the role of designers in interpretation projects. As one of the first studies in the field, this original research substantiates interpretation design as a field of practice that comprises specific knowledge and expertise, establishing a basis for further academic and practical understanding of interpretation design.

description: Background: Unwanted, intrusive thoughts of harm-related to the infant are reported by the vast majority of new mothers, with half of all new mothers reporting unwanted, intrusive thoughts of harming their infant on purpose. Thoughts of intentional harm, in particular, are distressing to women, their partners and the people who care for them. While maternal, unwanted and intrusive thoughts of infant-related harm are known to be associated with obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and depression, preliminary evidence suggests that they are not associated with an increased risk of harm to infants. Perinatal care providers and policy makers, as well as new mothers and their partners require evidence-based information in order to respond appropriately to these types of thoughts. The purpose of this research is to address important gaps regarding the (a) prevalence and characteristics of intrusive, unwanted thoughts of baby-related harm, (b) their association (or lack thereof) with child abuse, and (c) the prevalence and course of obsessive-compulsive disorder and depression in the perinatal period. Methods: Participant were 763 English-speaking women and recruited during pregnancy. In this province-wide study in British Columbia, participants were recruited proportionally from hospitals, city centers and rural communities between January 23, 2014 and September 09, 2016. Participants were administered online questionnaires and diagnostic interviews over the phone at 33-weeks gestation, 7-weeks postpartum and 4-months postpartum. The study assessed intrusive and unwanted thoughts of harm related to the infant, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and major depressive episode (MDE) disorders and symptomatology, sleep, medical outcomes, parenting attitudes, and infant abuse. Discussion: There is a scarcity of literature concerning maternal unwanted, intrusive, postpartum thoughts of infant-related harm and their relationship to child harming behaviors, OCD and depression. This longitudinal cohort study was designed to build on the existing research base to ensure that policy developers, child protection workers and health-care providers have the guidance they need to respond appropriately to the disclosure of infant-related harm thoughts. Thus, its main goals will be to investigate whether intrusive postpartum thoughts of infant-related harm are a risk factor for child abuse or the development of OCD.

description: Modernization has now been linked to poor developmental experience, the onset of immune dysregulation and rising rates of chronic diseases in many parts of the world. Research across the epidemiological, clinical, and basic science domains supports the concept that poor developmental experience, particularly during prenatal life, can increase the risk of chronic disease, with enduring effects on long-term health. Single ‘omics’ approaches are ill-suited to dealing with the level of complexity that underpins immune dysregulation in early life. A more comprehensive systems-level view is afforded by combining multiple ‘omics’ datasets in order to delineate correlations across multiple resolutions of the genome, and of the genomes of the microorganisms that inhabit us. In this concept paper, we discuss multiomic approaches to studying immune dysregulation and highlight some of the challenges and opportunities afforded by this new domain of medical science.
Frequently modulating: Australian radio's relationship with youth
Creators: name: Wilson, Christopher Kane

description: In the mid-2000s the radio dial in each of Australia’s mainland state capitals was
home to three stations either purporting to service youth or widely described as
doing so. This was remarkable given the federal government maintained a
conservative approach to the management of broadcast spectrum at this time and a
range of interests competed for its use. Furthermore, each of the three youth
stations operating in the mainland state capitals at this time were licensed in
separate broadcasting sectors, complicating the notion that these commercial,
national and community sectors addressed distinct objectives.
This thesis examines how this settlement was reached—how mainland state capital
radio came to include an outlet of the national broadcaster’s Triple J youth network,
a youth community broadcaster, and Nova FM, a commercial station widely
described as youth radio when it emerged in the 2000s. In accounting for the
development of this settlement, the thesis focuses on the intersection of technical
affordances, including technological, legislative and regulatory conditions that
govern the use of radio spectrum, and the discursive formulation of rationales that
made it possible to conceive of a specific relationship between radio broadcasting
and youth and established the desirability of maintaining this relationship. The
thesis draws on a range of empirical material to trace the historical lineage of these
technical and discursive underpinnings, resulting in both an historical explanation of
the broadcasting settlement of the 2000s and a history of the frequently modulating
relationship between Australia radio and youth.

description: Although there is debate on quality in higher education, quality can be seen as 'fitness for purpose'. This is the definition that has been commonly accepted across the wider Swinburne University of Technology community. In 1992 Swinburne gained a grant to develop and implement strategies for assuring teaching quality within its Bachelor of Information Technology degree programs. The staff, student and industry were identified as being the major stakeholders in the program. This paper discusses the project in detail and outlines its progress to date.

description: Background: We describe early health services utilization for children diagnosed with medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (MCAD) deficiency through newborn screening in Ontario, Canada, relative to a screen negative comparison cohort. Methods: Eligible children were identified via newborn screening between April 1, 2006 and March 31, 2010. Age-stratified rates of physician encounters, emergency department (ED) visits and inpatient hospitalizations to March 31, 2012 were compared using incidence rate ratios (IRR) and incidence rate differences (IRD). We used negative binomial regression to adjust IRRs for sex, gestational age, birth weight, socioeconomic status and rural/urban residence. Results: Throughout the first few years of life, children with MCAD deficiency (n = 40) experienced statistically significantly higher rates of physician encounters, ED visits, and hospital stays compared with the screen negative cohort. The highest rates of ED visits and hospitalizations in the MCAD deficiency cohort occurred from 6 months to 2 years of age (ED use: 2.1–2.5 visits per child per year; hospitalization: 0.5–0.6 visits per child per year), after which rates gradually declined. Conclusions: This study confirms that young children with MCAD deficiency use health services more frequently than the general population throughout the first few years of life. Rates of service use in this population gradually diminish after 24 months of age.
Edición modernizada y anotada de la versión manuscrita de Peribáñez y el Comendador de Ocaña, de Lope de Vega en la Biblioteca de Melbury House.

description: This M.A. thesis is a modernized and annotated edition of an anonymous manuscript version of Lope de Vega's 'comedia' Peribanez y el Comendador de Ocana. The manuscript, part of a volume entitled "Comedias de Lope de Vega. Tomo I MSS", belonged at one time to Lord Holland and is now found in the Melbury House library of the Viscount and Viscountess of Galway in Dorset, England. The manuscript is not a direct copy of Lope de Vega's Peribanez but, more than likely, the work of a 'memorion'. A 'memorion' was someone who attended theatre performances for the purpose of memorizing, copying and finally adapting plays with perhaps the collaboration of a poet or the director of a theatre company, known as the 'autor de comedias'. These pirated adaptations would then be performed for rural audiences. Lope de Vega himself was well aware of these activities, which confirms that the profession of the 'memorion' was fairly common in those days. The main objective of this edition is to provide a readable text of the MS. To this end I have modernized the spelling and added the necessary punctuation and accents. I have reconstructed the text according to modern editing practices and rules of verification and also indicated the division of scenes or "cuadros" and the type of verse form used. Changed to the text of the MS and comments about the play are found in the notes at the end of the edited text. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)
