description: The aim of this study was to explore the association between unintended pregnancy and related factors among congenital heart defects (CHDs) in infants. A total of 1197 cases with isolated CHDs and 1125 controls without any abnormalities were analysed in this multicentre study at seven hospitals in China. According to the pregnancy intention, cases were divided into two groups: planned and unintended pregnancies. The adjusted odds ratio (AOR) was calculated by logistic regression analysis to assess the association between unintended pregnancy and CHD occurrence. The time to prepare for pregnancy and the influencing factors were also compared in this article. The risk for CHD occurrence was significantly associated with unintended pregnancy (AOR: 1.42; 95%CI: 1.16–1.73), which may increase the risks for each subtype of CHD occurrence. Risks such as parental smoking, housing renovation, accidental alcohol consumption, lack of health check-ups, and no folic acid supplementation before pregnancy were distributed differently among the planned and unintended pregnancy groups and were associated with CHD occurrence. However, there was no significant association between the duration of planned pregnancy and the risk of CHDs. Unintended pregnancy increased the risk of CHDs in infants. This risk may be related to some known and unknown factors. Some unintended pregnancy related factors may increase the risk for foetal CHDs. The duration of planning pregnancy may not be associated with the risk of CHDs.

description: We report the discovery of tidal tails around the Galactic globular cluster NGC 7492, based on the Data Release 1 of the Pan-STARRS 1 survey. The tails were detected with a version of the matched filter technique applied to the $(g-r,r)$ and $(g-i,i)$ color-magnitude diagrams. Tidal tails emerging from the cluster extend at least $\sim$3.5 degrees in the North-East to South-East direction, equivalent to $\sim1.5$ kpc in projected length.

description: Pollution is shown as the environmental challenge, which has the greatest impact on global climate change. Faced with this situation, numerous environmental summits agree on thefact that Environmental Education needs to be implemented within the different disciplines and educational institutions. Therefore, Further Education must foster the research and management of environmental education with the aim of developing responsible citizens with sustainable attitudes. Based on this idea, this paper aimed to analyse the attitudes in Further Education students towards different situations and habits linked to pollution, as well as some of its varied typologies (chemical pollution, acoustic pollution and management of solid urban waste and rubbish). To achieve this,a sample of 307 students from different degrees of Preschool and Primary Education was included, using a questionnaire as a measuring instrument. The methodology of the study was both descriptive, through the analysis of its measures, and inferential, with the preparation of a confirmatory conceptual model through the structural equation model (SEM). Results revealed that students are highly concerned about the different situations proposed, and that the predictive model forges strong correlations between the four variables of the study. Hence, the study focused on the idea of trying to enhance environmental awareness in the groups of students from different educational phases, to subsequently foster the implementation of specific actions aimed at preserving and conserving natural resources, and to guide society towards sustainable development.

description: High temperature (high-Tc) superconductors like cuprates have superior critical current properties in magnetic fields over other superconductors. However, superconducting wires for high-field-magnet applications are still dominated by low-Tc Nb3Sn due probably to cost and processing issues. The recent discovery of a second class of high-Tc materials, Fe-based superconductors, may provide another option for high-field-magnet wires. In particular, AEFe2As2 (AE: Alkali earth elements, AE-122) is one of the best candidates for high-field-magnet applications because of its high upper critical field, Hc2, moderate Hc2 anisotropy, and intermediate Tc. Here we report on in-field transport properties of P-doped BaFe2As2 (Ba-122) thin films grown on technical substrates (i.e., biaxially textured oxides templates on metal tapes) by pulsed laser deposition. The P-doped Ba-122 coated conductor sample exceeds a transport Jc of 10^5 A/cm^2 at 15 T for both major crystallographic directions of the applied magnetic field, which is favourable for practical applications. Our P-doped Ba-122 coated conductors show a superior in-field Jc over MgB2 and NbTi, and a comparable level to Nb3Sn above 20 T. By analysing the E-J curves for determining Jc, a non-Ohmic linear differential signature is observed at low field due to flux flow along the grain boundaries. However, grain boundaries work as flux pinning centres as demonstrated by the pinning force analysis.

description: Social Network Sites (SNSs) allow users to create online profiles and content, establish connections, share content, develop interactions with their connections and consume content provided by their network. The rapid growth in the number of users of SNSs makes it important to examine their impact on users and their potential to improve psychological well-being. A major limitation of most previous studies was that they relied on healthy students as participants. Little research attention has been paid to the ability of SNSs to promote the psychological well-being of other cohorts of SNS users. People affected by cancer are using SNSs such as Facebook for informational and emotional exchange with people with the same health concern. This research examined the impact of SNSs use on the psychological well-being of the users of the Ovarian Cancer Australia (OCA) Facebook. Using a mixed-methods approach, this research sought to answer the question: In what ways and to what extent does SNS use impact the psychological well-being of cancer-affected people? Semi-structured interviews with users of the OCA Facebook were used to assess how and in what ways SNSs use impacts the psychological well-being of cancer-affected people. A theoretical model was proposed to develop a better understanding of the relationship. Analysis of data collected through a subsequent quantitative survey confirmed the theoretical model and empirically revealed the extent to which SNSs use impacts the psychological well-being of cancer-affected people. Analysis showed that the use of OCA Facebook enhances social support, improves the experience of social connectedness, develops social presence and learning – and ultimately, improves psychological well-being. This study contributes to a better understanding of the ways that SNSs use is associated with psychological well-being among cancer-affected people. Our theoretical model improves understanding of the factors that mediate the positive impact of Facebook use on the psychological well-being of cancer-affected people.

description: The quantum transport of electrons in a wire of localized dots by hopping, interaction and dissipation is calculated and a representation by an equivalent RCL circuit is found. The exact solution for the electric-field induced currents allows to discuss the role of virtual currents to decay initial correlations and Bloch oscillations. The dynamical response function in random phase approximation (RPA) is calculated analytically with the help of which the static structure function and pair correlation function are determined. The pair correlation function contains a form factor from the Brillouin zone and a structure factor caused by the localized dots in the wire.

description: The present study deals with the application of ab initio method using density functional theory (DFT) at M06-2X/6-311++G(d,p) to characterize the considered molecule completely. Though the anti-bacterial activity of the 3-(amino thiazolyl)quinolone derivatives was studied, the effects of intermolecular hydrogen bonding on chemical and biological processes remain unexplored or have not been thoroughly investigated so far. Investigations into non-covalent interactions were carried out using the reduced density gradient methodology and the quantum theory of atoms in molecules. An electron localization function was used to investigate the electronic vicinity of each atom in a molecule. Natural bond orbital analysis was used to determine the correlated stabilization energies for the intermolecular hydrogen bonds (H-bonds) that are responsible for the molecular stability of the dimer structure. The electrophilic and nucleophilic sites were predicted using the molecular electrostatic potential. The density of states and partial density of states were also used to represent the frontier molecular orbitals. The inhibitory activities of the compound with different classes of bacteria were also investigated using molecular docking simulation.

description: We have used laser ablation and helium buffer-gas cooling to produce the titanium-helium van der Waals molecule at cryogenic temperatures. The molecules were detected through laser-induced fluorescence spectroscopy. Ground-state Ti-He binding energies were determined for the ground and first rotationally excited states from studying equilibrium thermodynamic properties, and found to agree well with theoretical calculations based on newly calculated ab initio Ti-He interaction potentials, opening up novel possibilities for studying the formation, dynamics, and non-universal chemistry of van der Waals clusters at low temperatures.

description: We examine the four 2π3/2, J = 3/2 ground state transitions of the hydroxyl radical (OH) along 15 sightlines through the Milky Way disk towards bright background continuum sources. We find that the OH gas along these sightlines is optically thin, consistent with the findings from the Southern Parkes Large Area Survey in Hydroxyl (SPLASH) pilot region]. We present a partially automated method for Gaussian decomposition of our spectra which identified 55 components across 28 OH-containing clouds. Three of these OH clouds had no associated 12CO emission (CO data from NANTEN).We test two methods of finding excitation temperature: a modified ‘on-off’ method, and a method where the excitation temperatures and column densities are solved for numerically .Neither method constrained Tex well. Column densities were calculated based on a range of possibleexcitation temperatures (Tex (1667) = 5-15 K), and conversions to N(H2) were made. N(OH) values were found to range from 1 - 40 x 1014cm-2, corresponding to N(H2) values ranging from1 - 40 x 1021 cm-2. We discuss our results in the context of CO-dark H2, and outline future directions for our work.

description: A new and efficient manufacturing technology is disclosed in the present work for the preparation of benzoylphenylureas and their key intermediates. This new route significantly reduces the number of reaction steps from six to three, resulting in a streamlined process. Additionally, the overall yield is increased from 56% to over 69%. Compared to the original process route, the new manufacturing route has the advantages of fewer chemical steps, higher overall yield, less process safety hazard and environmental impact. Considering these factors, the new manufacturing route exhibits considerable potential for industrialization.

description: Osteocytes and their cell processes reside in a large, interconnected network of voids pervading the mineralized bone matrix of most vertebrates. This osteocyte lacuno-canalicular network (OLCN) is believed to play important roles in mechanosensing, mineral homeostasis, and for the mechanical properties of bone. While the extracellular matrix structure of bone is extensively studied on ultrastructural and macroscopic scales, there is a lack of quantitative knowledge on how the cellular network is organized. Using a recently introduced imaging and quantification approach, we analyze the OLCN in different bone types from mouse and sheep that exhibit different degrees of structural organization not only of the cell network but also of the fibrous matrix deposited by the cells. We define a number of robust, quantitative measures that are derived from the theory of complex networks. These measures enable us to gain insights into how efficient the network is organized with regard to intercellular transport and communication. Our analysis shows that the cell network in regularly organized, slow-growing bone tissue from sheep is less connected, but more efficiently organized compared to irregular and fast-growing bone tissue from mice. On the level of statistical topological properties (edges per node, edge length and degree distribution), both network types are indistinguishable, highlighting that despite pronounced differences at the tissue level, the topological architecture of the osteocyte canalicular network at the subcellular level may be independent of species and bone type. Our results suggest a universal mechanism underlying the self-organization of individual cells into a large, interconnected network during bone formation and mineralization.
title: Reframing power relationships in higher education:
title: an integrated understanding of conflicting power relationships and undergraduate subjectivities in the current university climate
titleType: Subtitle
Creators: name: Symonds, Eloise
Publisher: name: Lancaster University
Year: 2019

description: This thesis explores the transforming power relationship between undergraduates and academics, through an elaboration of three conflicting subjectivities pertinent to the current university climate: the traditional learner, the partner, and the consumer. It questions the current research on power relationships within higher education whereby the dynamic is either taken as given or acknowledged without proper consideration. As such, the formation of power relationships, which allows their perpetuation, remains unexplored and thus, misunderstood. Equally, this thesis takes issue with the current research on student subjectivities within higher education where subject positions are often explored in isolation. As a consequence, the relationship between the most pervasive positions remains unexplored and the resulting conflict and discord that arises remains obscured. This thesis advocates a different approach to understanding power relationships and subjectivities within universities, one which seeks to unveil the hidden mechanisms that constitute the positioning of undergraduates and the resulting power relationships. The theoretical framework draws from systemic and constitutive conceptions of power, which provides a dialectical conceptualisation of structure and agency. Methodologically, the thesis is grounded in critical realism and draws data from two case study universities. Analytically, the thesis uses Fairclough’s three-dimensional model of Critical Discourse Analysis to explore undergraduate subjectivities and power relationships at the macro and micro levels of universities. This thesis offers an integrated understanding of the transforming power relationship, through an elaboration of conflicting subject positionings within universities. The findings of this study reveal that what was once considered a stable power dynamic between two established social roles is now under negotiation. It is being transformed through conflicting behaviours introduced through different subject positionings, which creates confusion for undergraduates regarding appropriate behaviour within universities.

description: A catastrophic flood occurred on 7 February 2021 around 10:30 AM (local time) in the Rishiganga River, which has been attributed to a rockslide in the upper reach of the Raunthi River. The Resourcesat 2 LISS IV (8 February 2021) and CNES Airbus satellite imagery (9 February 2021) clearly show the location of displaced materials. The solar radiation observed was higher than normal by 10% and 25% on 6 and 7 February 2021, respectively, however, the temperature shows up to 34% changes. These conditions are responsible for the sudden change in instability in glacier blocks causing deadly rock-ice slides that led to the collapse of the hanging glacier as a wedge failure. The displaced materials mixed with ice, snow, and debris caused catastrophic floods downstream within no time that destroyed critical infrastructure and killed human lives. The hydrodynamic modelling (HEC-RAS software) shows mean flow velocity up to 22.4 ± 8.6 m/s with an average depth of 16.3 ± 6.5 m that caused deadly devastation in the source region and along the rivers due to the flow of water in the valley.

description: The coherent high-fidelity generation of nuclear spins in long-lived singlet states which may find application as quantum memory or sensor represents a considerable experimental challenge. Here we propose a dissipative scheme that achieves the preparation of pairs of nuclear spins in long-lived singlet states by a protocol that combines the interaction between the nuclei and a periodically reset electron spin of an NV center with local rf-control of the nuclear spins. The final state of this protocol is independent of the initial preparation of the nuclei, is robust to external field fluctuations and can be operated at room temperature. We show that a high fidelity singlet pair of a 13C dimer in a nuclear bath in diamond can be generated under realistic experimental conditions.

description: The purpose of this study is to explore the association of Confucianism, the main cultural value system in East Asia, and work ethic. Specifically, this study is concerned with examining how the Confucian pedagogical approach which focused on respect and discipline, plays a formative role in shaping the individuals’ work ethic. Study’s sample collected from 412 respondents from two groups: Caucasian and Confucian orbit group (China, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Singapore and Taiwan). Structural equation modelling (SEM) was applied, resulting in models for the two ethnic models, establishing notable differences in perceptions of Confucianism and Confucian pedagogical approaches. This study demonstrates that 36-45% of work ethic is mediated by the Confucian pedagogical approach: respect and discipline. The results indicate that Confucian values were not wholly unique to individuals from Confucian orbit countries, however, discipline was only associated with work ethic for Confucian orbit group. Ultimately, the study establishes key differences in pedagogical approach between the two ethnic groups, as well as the mediating role of respect and discipline providing a framework for future educational research and East Asian studies.
A comparative analysis of remote sensing methods for burn-scar mapping in wetlands

description: This thesis examines the accuracy and reliability of using conventional remote sensing methods in wetland environments, specifically for detecting and analysing burn scars and post-fire recovery. To date, the methods have been applied in dryland environments post-fire but have yet to be tested comprehensively elsewhere, particularly in large floodplain wetland environments that also experience regular wildfires. These ecosystems possess unique physical characteristics that may pose challenges to orthodox remote sensing techniques, such as different vegetation composition, soil moisture prevalence, and post-fire vegetation regrowth rate. This thesis also aims to provide a preliminary insight into how the current methods could be modified or further developed to achieve the high levels of accuracy gained in measuring burn scars in dryland environments. It was found that spectral indices that measure green vegetation cover, particularly the GNDVI, the EVI2, the NBRI, and the SATVI, are more suitable for detecting burn. It was also found that supervised classifiers, were more accurate than unsupervised classifiers at determining burned areas. From the results, it was concluded that, by a measure of the assessed metrics, post-fire wetland ecosystems typically regenerate to pre-fire conditions within a year of the fire event occurring. However, different conditions can significantly decrease the time taken for regeneration, with some indices returning to pre-fire values as early as 100 days post-fire.

description: We study the extension of classical games to the quantum domain, generated by the addition of one unitary strategy to two classical strategies of each player. The conditions that need to be met by unitary operations to ensure that the extended game is invariant with respect to the isomorphic transformations of the input game are determined. It has been shown that there are three types of these extensions, two of them are purely quantum. On the other hand, it has been demonstrated that the extensions of two versions of the same classical game by a unitary operator that does not meet these conditions may result in quantum games that are non-equivalent, e.g. having different Nash equilibria. We use the obtained results to extend the classical Prisoner's Dilemma game to a quantum game that has a unique Nash equilibrium closer to Pareto-optimal solutions than the original one.

description: Herein, fluorinated thioureas with various substituents (F1-F3) were synthesized and characterized spectroscopically and analytically to investigate their properties as antibacterial agents. Prior to experimental studies, Density Functional Theory (DFT) modeling was performed at B3LYP/6-31G (d,p) to complement and offer comparative overview with the experimental findings. With regards to all theoretical analyses, the Frontier Molecular Orbital (FMO) demonstrated a desirable low HOMO-LUMO gap for all three designated derivatives, particularly F1 (1.60 eV), which is consistent with its GCRDs values, namely its high electronegativity and low hardness values that corresponds to low LUMO energy, suggesting higher bacterial activity. Agar diffusion assay was used for the preliminary screening of in-vitro antibacterial activity against pathogenic Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. All three derivates successfully inhibit at least two bacterial strains (B. cereus, S. aureus), but none were able to penetrate into E. coli. The highest inhibition rate was exhibited by F3 at 33.33 ± 0.71% against S. aureus, whilst F1 only managed to gain 29.63 ± 0.00% of inhibition rate for the same bacterium. Meanwhile, the lowest penetration rate was recorded at 1.53 ± 0.35% by F2 against B. cereus.

description: The age of a young asteroid family can be determined by tracking the orbits of family members backward in time and showing that they converge at some time in the past. Here we consider the Veritas family. We find that the membership of the Veritas family increased enormously since the last detailed analysis of the family. Using backward integration, we confirm the convergence of nodal longitudes $Ω$, and, for the first time, also obtain a simultaneous convergence of pericenter longitudes $\varpi$. The Veritas family is found to be $8.23^{+0.37}_{-0.31}$~Myr old. To obtain a tight convergence of $Ω$ and $\varpi$, as expected from low ejection speeds of fragments, the Yarkovsky effect needs to be included in the modeling of the past orbital histories of Veritas family members. Using this method, we compute the Yarkovsky semi-major axis drift rates, ${\rm d}a/{\rm d}t$, for 274 member asteroids. The distribution of ${\rm d}a/{\rm d}t$ values is consistent with a population of C-type objects with low densities and low thermal conductivities. The accuracy of individual ${\rm d}a/{\rm d}t$ measurements is limited by the effect of close encounters of member asteroids to (1) Ceres and other massive asteroids, which cannot be evaluated with confidence.

description: The Western Desert during the Pharaonic period was a place that witnessed the habitation and incursion of various cultural groups over time. Its aridity and its unique landscape and resources required the cultures associated with it to adapt and adopt social and cultural traits appropriate to this environment and, ultimately, for their survival there. Aside from the environment, the meeting of differing cultures with varying ethnic origins and structures also led to change and adaptation within the respective groups. Of these groups, those emanating from the Nile Valley may be viewed as a "core" group whose influence may be seen across the desert and oases of the region all the way to the present day Libyan border area. In its incursions of the Western Desert this Nile Valley Culture (NVC) encountered other cultures that may be viewed as a "periphery" in relation to the Nile Valley in terms of their geographic distance, social complexity and power. This simple division should not however be taken to imply that the influence was always from the core to the periphery and at times the influence was bidirectional. The level of influence and control that the NVC could exert upon the periphery was affected by distance, the social structure of the peripheral group and the use of cult-based influence as a means of overcoming the physical distance and ensuring a level of symbolic control and order in the areas remote from the Nile Valley.

description: We present a two-species laser cooling apparatus capable of simultaneously collecting Rb and Hg atomic gases into a magneto-optical trap (MOT). The atomic sources, laser system, and vacuum set-up are described. While there is a loss of Rb atoms in the MOT due to photoionization by the Hg cooling laser, we show that it does not prevent simultaneous trapping of Rb and Hg. We also demonstrate interspecies collision-induced losses in the ${}^{87}$Rb-${}^{202}$Hg system.

description: Research on synthetic methods for the preparation of oxazoles is an important issue among synthetic chemists because oxazole derivatives are structural subunits of various natural active products and are valuable synthetic and pharmaceutical precursors. In this research work, we constructed CuBr supported on surface of magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles modified with 6-(aminomethyl)nicotinic acid [Fe3O4@AMNA-CuBr nanocomposite] and evaluated its catalytic activity for the preparation of highly substituted oxazoles through one-pot three-component reactions of diphenylacetylene derivatives with aryl nitriles and water in PEG as the solvent. The results shown that the Fe3O4@AMNA-CuBr catalyst was used 8 times without significant decrease in catalytic activity. XRD and TEM analysis confirmed that the structure and morphology that the Fe3O4@AMNA-CuBr catalyst did not change after 8 runs.
Synthesis and conformational investigations of bioactive natural products and fluorinated analogues

description: (-)-Balanol, a fungal metabolite from Verticillium balanoides, is a potent protein kinase C(PKC) inhibitor and has potential as an antitumor agent. However, it competitively inhibits other AGC protein kinases and lacks PKC isozyme specificity. The success from the first kinase drug, Gleevec, suggests that conformationally biased small molecules can lead to selective inhibition of tyrosine protein kinases. Fluorination has recently been utilized as a tool to conformationally tune the shape of molecules. The aim was to synthesize conformationally biased fluorinated balanol analogues and examine their PKA/PKC affinity and selectivity profiles (Figure 1). The structure activity relationship from this study may help understand conformational control in molecular recognition in general. The synthesis of mono-, di- and trifluoroazepanes was accomplished with unusual stereochemical outcomes due to neighbouring group participation. The conformational preferences of the mono-, di- and trifluoro azepanes were investigated using computational methods and J based analysis after detailed 2D NMR structure elucidations. The parent (-)-balanol and fluorinated balanol analogues were synthesized, and the analogues were subjected to binding affinity measurements with selected PKC isozymes and PKA.

Cross-kingdom encounters: journeys to the New England tablelands

description: This thesis is about human relationships with the more-than-human world, analysed through the frame of the New England tableland region of New South Wales, Australia. I spent my childhood in New England, and it is where I first developed intimate connections with nonhumans. My central aspiration for this work has been to promote environmental and social justice by mobilising locally-based perceptions of ecological connectivity. In the wake of the environmental and social devastations of colonisation, I tackle the question of how we are to live ethically in places which are both damaged and beloved. The research is divided into five parts, with each exploring cross-kingdom encounters between humans and a particular 'genre' of nonhuman life in New England. The following pages are peopled with stones, trees, animals, waters, and skies. Inspired by the work of Gregory Bateson, this study is predicated on the notion that the organismplus-environment is an inseparable unit, and that the self is permeated by the "outside world". Adopting a relational approach to place-based study, this thesis avers proximity as a kind of methodology which acknowledges our entangled position in connected, living systems. In the contact zones between flesh and fur, skin and bark, lies the potential for reworking the way we understand responsibility and commitment in a postcolonial country.

description: A series of new 4-hydroxy-2-thioxo-4-trifluoromethyl-hexahydro-pyrimidin-5-yl]-p-tolyl-methanone derivatives were synthesized through one-pot three-component method using 4,4,4-trifluoro-1-p-tolyl-butane-1,3-dione, thiourea, and various substituted benzaldehydes. The structures of newly synthesized products were elucidated by spectroscopic studies such as IR, NMR (proton and carbon), mass spectra, and elemental analyses. The final products were screened for their antioxidant activity, anti-inflammatory activity against LPS-induced cell death in RAW 264.7 macrophage cell lines, antibacterial and antifungal activity using in vitro methods. The results revealed that the compounds such as 10e and 10i against DPPH and H2O2; 10a, 10e, 10h, and 10i against LPS induced inflammation in RAW 264.7 cell lines; 10a, 10b, 10c, 10d, and 10e against all the microbial strains tested have exhibited higher content of activity in vitro than the rest of the title compounds when compared to the standard drugs. In overall, 10a, and 10e have shown the most promising activity against all the systems tested. Hence, among all the title compounds, at least a few will stand as next generation antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial agents in future.
Dreams about music – Analyzing the dream series of Madeline

description: Music in dreams is an interesting topic for research as it plays an important role in our daily life. In this study, we analyzed a dream series (N=926) of a female participant (pseudonym: Madeline) regarding its musical content. In summary, 10.5% dreams of the participant were music-related. This was higher compared to an unselected sample of psychology students and reflects – in line with the continuity hypothesis – the musical interests of the dreamer. While listening to music in the dream was related more often to positive emotions, playing music and singing in the dream were more negatively toned, reflecting her fear of public singing in waking life. Future in-depth studies might focus on music dreams of musicians.
