description: The maintenance of balance, mobility and the ability to perform functional tasks are integral to healthy ageing and the maintenance of independence. Various exercise interventions are potentially capable of maintaining or improving balance, mobility and functional task performance but the effectiveness of many available exercise options are not yet known. Exergaming (exercise based video games) and group exercise classes are exercise options that have the potential to improve balance, mobility and functional task performance in middle-aged and older adults. The use of exergaming equipment such as the Nintendo Wii is highly accessible, inexpensive and has been shown to help improve balance in older adults in supervised environments. The effectiveness and potential safety of unsupervised Nintendo Wii gaming in independent older adults is not yet well established. Gym or fitness facility based activities are growing in popularity amongst middle-aged and older adults. The effectiveness of gym based activities such as traditional resistance training is well established but the effectiveness of pre-choreographed group fitness classes has been scarcely assessed. Two of the most popular group fitness classes available globally are BodyPumpTM and BodyBalance®. BodyPumpTM is a low-load high-repetition resistance training class while BodyBalance® incorporates elements of tai chi, yoga and Pilates. Both classes are available in several thousand fitness facilities globally so the potential reach of such classes is vast but the effectiveness of these classes has yet to be determined in middleaged or older adults. Three studies were designed to assess the effectiveness of three group exercise interventions on balance, mobility and functional task performance in adults aged over 55.

Dr. Katja Mayer, Center for Social Innovation, Vienna, Austria When looking at the calendar for events under the 2018 Austrian presidency of the European Union, we get the impression Open Science is dominating the STI agenda and research policy discussions. However, when we look around us here in Austria, we see a lot of wonderful initiatives and bottom-up activities, but only rarely we face real political commitment, and definitely no sustainable visibility on national policy level yet. Whereas there is a strong push from the EU to foster a multi-dimensional transition to Open Science, there is no common baseline for how to implement Open Science nationally.

description: RMIT Publishing launched the Informit Media databases TVNews and RequestTV in late 2007. TVNews is an index of Australian free-to-air television news and current affairs items, with links enabling the video download of the respective stories. RequestTV allows the ordering of DVD programs by searching an electronic program guide. The key feature of the databases is that video access operates under the existing Screenrights Remuneration Sampling Agreement. Working within this regime enables libraries to better utilise the resources to which they already have access rights. A key criterion of the project was to utilise existing technologies and to be able to interface with existing library systems. The databases are mounted on the Informit service and use the same access points and search syntax as other Informit databases. To ensure that the product was relevant to libraries' needs, RMIT Publishing consulted closely with several libraries during development. Swinburne University Library gave valuable feedback throughout the process and contributed to the improvement of the service. This paper will look at the issues that dominated development of the databases and their implementation at Swinburne University Library.

However, when we look around us here in Austria (and in many other European countries), we see a lot of wonderful initiatives and bottom-up activities, there is commitment of policy makers and research funding and performing organisations, but the topic of Open Science is still highly distributed across institutions without a national strategy let alone a coherent legislation.

description: L’affaire Guibord a un rôle d’importance au Québec au cours de la deuxième moitié du dix-neuvième siècle. Malgré ceci, ce cas judiciaire se retrouve souvent dans l’ombre du fameux combat entre ultramontains et libéraux. Cette étude démontre le procès Guibord et ses répercussions, exposant la place grandissante du clergé au sein de la société québécoise. On observe une Église catholique ultramontaine triomphante sous la direction de Mgr Bourget, évêque de Montréal. Cette recherche présente d’abord les sources du conflit jusqu’à l’année 1869, lorsque l’Institut canadien de Montréal est condamné par l’Église catholique, peu avant la mort de Joseph Guibord, membre de l’organisation. Une analyse est ensuite faite concernant la question d’excommunication qui l’aurait frappée. Le cas de refus de sépulture étant porté en cour civile, il est alors possible d’observer les décisions des différents tribunaux jusqu’au verdict du Comité judiciaire du Conseil privé à Londres qui tranche en faveur de l’Institut canadien, héritier de la veuve Guibord. Cependant, une émeute aux portes du cimetière catholique, en septembre 1875, va reporter de deux mois son enterrement. L’incident est largement repris dans les journaux d’un bout à l’autre du Canada, mais aussi aux États-Unis et au Royaume-Uni, révélant l’opinion de sources externes sur l’affaire Guibord et le catholicisme au Québec.
Conceptions of effective school principals in Cambodian public schools: a phenomenographic study

description: This thesis presents the findings of a study that investigates the conceptions held by school principals in Cambodian schools around effective school principals. Through an interpretivist research paradigm and phenomenographic methodology, the study seeks to understand the conceptions of practicing school principals using school-based interviews. Phenomenography is a qualitative research approach that seeks to explore variation in how people experience various aspects of their world. Phenomenography has been used in numerous education studies over the past 40 years to uncover people’s lived experience of phenomenon. Conceptions of effective school principals (the phenomenon) were identified in the data analysis process, which then organised into five categories of description – personal qualities (human relations), good governance, school administration and HR management, instructional leadership, and life-long learning. The categories of description became the basis for the outcome space, a graphic representation of the various conceptions offered by school principals. The research process produced two main outcomes, the first being a synthesis of conceptions held by school principals in Cambodia about the attributes of effective school principals. The second outcome was a synthesis of school principals conceptions of effective or ‘good’ schools in Cambodia, which uncover insights into existing and aspirational school models. The study findings emphasize the significant role that school principals play in the effective operation of schools through quality leadership and management. The study also provides insights into the potential for developing schools that make available a quality of education to students and families that Cambodia has been seeking for several years. The thesis concludes with considerations to integrate study findings into the selection, preparation, support, and professional development of school principals.

Toutefois, plusieurs stratégies sont élaborées par les personnes en mobilité pour continuer de circuler entre ces frontières. Cette thèse identifient les effets des nouveaux règlements d’immigration appliqués aux frontières de la Pologne et de la Slovaquie depuis 2004 sur les stratégies des individus qui souhaitent traverser de l’Europe de l’Est vers l’Union européenne. J’ai réalisé une étude ethnographique en Europe de l’Est à l’été 2010 et effectué une vingtaine d’entrevues avec des personnes qui traversaient ces frontières pour connaître leurs comportements et décisions. Les règlements ont des effets différents sur ces personnes, des espaces de liberté ont été construites aux frontières terrestres pour les habitants des zones frontalières, leur permettant de traverser sans visa et de poursuivre leurs activités commerciales et visites fréquentes dans le pays voisin de l’Ouest. Par contre, pour les migrants étrangers considérés plus ‘à risque’ selon les autorités européennes, les règlements ont transformé les frontières en forteresse, rendant leur passage pratiquement impossible.

trust metric

description: As people go about their lives, they form a variety of social relationships, such as family, friends, colleagues, and acquaintances, and these relationships differ in their strength, indicating the level of trust among these people. The trend in these relationships is for people to trust those who they have met in real life more than unfamiliar people whom they have only met online. In online social network sites the objective is to make it possible for users to post information and share albums, diaries, videos, and experiences with a list of contacts who are real-world friends and/or like-minded online friends. However, with the growth of online social services, the need for identifying trustworthy people has become a primary focus in order to protect users’ vast amounts of information from being misused by unreliable users. In this thesis, we introduce the Capacity- first algorithm for identifying a local group of trusted people within a network. In order to achieve the outlined goals, the algorithm adapts the Advogato trust metric by incorporating weighted social relationships. The Capacity-first algorithm determines all possible reliable users within the network of a targeted user and prevents malicious users from accessing their personal network. In order to evaluate our algorithm, we conduct experiments to measure its performance against other well-known baseline algorithms. The experimental results show that our algorithm’s performance is better than existing alternatives in finding all possible trustworthy users and blocking unreliable ones from violating users’ privacy.

description: Questo contributo esplora la produzione dialogica in italiano da parte degli apprendenti di lingua materna croata con l’obiettivo di determinare la loro competenza interazionale e pragmatica in italiano L2. Particolare attenzione si è rivolta ad un aspetto caratteristico della produzione dialogica, ai segnali discorsivi ‒ espedienti dialogici per eccellenza. I parlanti nativi usano segnali discorsivi con una vasta gamma di funzioni dialogiche, mentre l’acquisizione dei segnali discorsivi italiani è un territorio relativamente inesplorato e i segnali discorsivi vengono raramente insegnati. in maniera esplicita. La capacità di riconoscere e utilizzare i segnali discorsivi italiani adeguatamente, vale a dire secondo le loro funzioni pragmatiche, rivela il livello della competenza pragmatica dell’apprendente di una lingua straniera. Ai fini dello studio presente, gli apprendenti di italiano sono stati classificati in diversi gruppi in base alla durata dell’ istruzione (principianti, intermedi, avanzati) e/o al tipo di ambiente di apprendimento (studenti universitari, corsi di lingua straniera, “full immersion”). L’analisi si è concentrata maggiormente sulla frequenza d’uso e su alcune funzioni dei segnali discorsivi italiani adoperati. Lo scopo di questo studio era quello di esaminare la differenza tra l’uso dei segnali discorsivi relativo ai diversi livelli e ambienti educativi della lingua italiana da parte degli apprendenti croati di italiano L2 e di osservare le caratteristiche di una possibile influenza derivata dal L1.     Pragmatic competence in Italian L2: the use of discourse signals in Croatian-speaking learners   This contribution explores the dialogue production of Croatian-speaking learners of Italian as a second language (L2) with the objective to determine their competence in L2 interactions. Special attention is paid to one particular aspect of dialogue production, discourse markers -dialogical expedients par excellence. Native speakers use discourse markers for a wide variety of dialogue functions, while the acquisition of (Italian) discourse markers is a relatively unexplored area and discourse markers are hardly ever explicitly taught. The ability to recognize and use Italian discourse markers correctly, in terms of their pragmatic functions, reveals the learners’ pragmatic competence. For this particular study, the learners of Italian were classified in different groups according to length of instruction (basic, elementary, advanced) and/or type of learning environment (university students, foreign language courses, “full immersion”). The analysis focused on the frequency of use and some functions of Italian discourse markers. The purpose of this study was to examine the difference between the Italian learners’ use of discourse markers and to observe the instances of a possible L1 influence.

description: Genetic programs are an essential component of aquaculture operations and can operate as a management tool to prevent inbreeding as well as facilitate selection for improved traits and increased profitability. A key requirement for the operation of genetic programs is the ability to reproduce select animals in captivity, that is, to have full control of the reproductive process. This study focuses on genetics and reproduction of two important but, before this thesis, taxonomically confused/ indistinct aquaculture oyster species: Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas or Portuguese oyster, Crassostrea angulata (this unidentified species is hereafter referred to VNO) and on Sydney rock oyster, Saccostrea glomerata with the aim to develop genetic, molecular and physiological tools required for an optimal operation of genetic programs for these species. Scientifically, this study intends to provide knowledge about how long term selection affects genetic diversity, about the role of the endocrine system in oyster reproduction and how this information can be used to set up reliable reproduction and genetically sustainable breeding programs. Research into the above objectives is set out in four data Chapters including: 1) Identification of key genes and peptide hormones associated with reproductive performance of S. glomerata; 2) Analysis of mass selected S. glomerata lines for genetic diversity; 3) Identification of the species identity of oysters cultured in Vietnam and analysis of their genetic diversity and to determine if there is sufficient diversity to initiate a breeding program; 4) Application of the aforementioned discovered genetic and physiological tools to design a trial breeding program for the now identified VNO in Vietnam.

description: Bioaccumulation plays a vital role in understanding the fate of a substance in the environment and is key to the regulation of chemicals in several jurisdictions. The current assessment approaches commonly use the octanol-water partition coefficient (log K OW) as an indicator for bioaccumulation and the bioconcentration factor (BCF) as a standard criterion to identify bioaccumulative substances show limitations. The log K OW does not take into account active transport phenomena or special structural properties (e.g., amphiphilic substances or dissociating substances) and therefore additional screening criteria are required. Regulatory BCF studies are so far restricted to fish and uptake through the gills. Studies on (terrestrial) air-breathing organisms are missing. Though there are alternative tests such as the dietary exposure bioaccumulation fish test described in the recently revised OECD test guideline 305, it still remains unclear how to deal with results of alternative tests in regulatory decision-making processes. A substantial number of bioaccumulation fish tests are required in regulation. The development of improved test systems following the 3R principles, namely to replace, reduce and refine animal testing, is thus required. All these aspects stress the importance to further develop the assessment of bioaccumulation. The Dessau Workshop on Bioaccumulation which was held from June 26th to 27th 2014, in Dessau, Germany, provided a comprehensive overview of the state of the art of bioaccumulation assessment, provided insights into the problems and challenges addressed by the regulatory authorities and described new research concepts and their regulatory implications. The event was organised by UBA (Dessau, Germany) and Fraunhofer IME (Schmallenberg, Germany). About 50 participants from industry, regulatory bodies and academia listened to 14 lectures on selected topics and joined the plenary discussions.Quelle: http://enveurope.springeropen.com

description: Nell’ambito dell’insegnamento dell’italiano a stranieri, lo sfruttamento dei corpora sembra ancora lontano dall’aver preso piede, sia a livello di impiego indiretto (progettazione di materiali di riferimento o produzione di materiali didattici) sia a livello di impiego diretto (da parte degli insegnanti o degli studenti). Questo intervento cerca di fornire un inquadramento teorico il più possibile esaustivo per poter introdurre al concetto di corpora e alle relative possibilità di sfruttamento chi ancora non conosca questo ambito e le possibilità che offre; in particolare, si vuole sollecitare l’impiego dei corpora in ambito di insegnamento/apprendimento. Si chiarirà il concetto di corpus trattandone le caratteristiche principali e facendo qualche accenno alla sua costruzione; si offrirà quindi una panoramica su tipi di corpora e tecniche e possibilità di impiego, per poi focalizzarsi specificamente sul loro sfruttamento nell’ambito dell’insegnamento/apprendimento e infine fare qualche riflessione su vantaggi e problematiche connesse.     Corpora and their use in the classroom   In the field of Italian L2 teaching, using corpora directly (by students and teachers) or indirectly (in designing teaching or reference materials) is still infrequent. This paper tries to offer a complete theoretical framework to introduce the concept of corpora and ways of using it for those who are not familiar with this field; in particular, we wish to promote the use of corpora in teaching/learning. The concept of corpus will be clarified by defining its principal characteristics and explaining how it is constructed. We will offer a panorama of types of corpora and techniques and possible uses for them, and then focus on their use in teaching/learning, pointing out the advantages and the disadvantages.

description: Statement of the problem The primary objective of this thesis was to determine the best study design to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of an intermediate dose of low molecular weight heparin for secondary prevention of pregnancy associated VTE (PAVTE). An RCT was deemed unfeasible,so the use of a single arm study with prior evaluation of feasibility with a pilot study is proposed. // Methods - A systematic review was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of current strategies used for secondary prevention of PAVTE.A survey was used to elicit the non-inferiority margin. // Results - The pooled proportion of recurrent VTE in patients treated with full dose LMWH was 0.012(95% CI 0.006 to 0.02) and the rate of major bleeding was 0.025(95% CI=0.01 to 0.041). The non-inferiority margin was elicited at 2.5%. // Conclusions - Although a randomized controlled trial should be conducted whenever possible, in certain scenarios they are unfeasible. Therefore, an alternative study design should perhaps be used to evaluate the safety and efficacy of therapeutic strategies.

description: NASA’s Transform to Open Science (TOPS) mission is being designed to support the adoption of open science and broaden participation in science. During the 2023 Year of Open Science TOPS is planning a broad suite of resources, events, and activities. TOPS efforts are built on relationships with a variety of diverse communities. Critical to these relationships is open, candid, and complete two-way communication. This month, we focused into on NASA Science Mission Directorate Divisions: Biological and Physical Sciences and Heliophysics, to learn more about those domain-specific open science activities. We also asked for feedback on related open science activities in the other domains (Astrophysics, Planetary Science and Earth Science) and points where different domains' efforts could benefit and augment one another. This is the resulting jamboard output from those discussions.
In- and out-coupling of light in photonic-crystal and conventional dielectric waveguides of arbitrary width

description: A new approach for light coupling between wire dielectric and photonic crystal waveguides, is investigated to optimize the transmission spectrum around 1550 nm. The approach is successfully proposed for input and output coupling with waveguides of arbitrary width, even much larger than the single line defect photonic crystal waveguide. It is shown that the displacement across the interface of the inner hole rows of the photonic crystal waveguide considerably enhances the coupling, resulting in transmission values higher than 90% over bandwidths of hundreds of nanometers.
The effect of substituents on geminal proton-proton coupling constants.

Subjects: subject: Chemistry, Physical.

description: The proton magnetic resonance spectra of a series of 2-alkoxytetrahydropyrans of general formula have been measured. R represents a variety of groups, including para-, meta-, and ortho-substituted phenyl, and several alkyl substituents. The geminal coupling constant, JAB, has been determined in each ether, from the AB pattern produced by the magnetically non-equivalent methylene protons in the alkoxy group. JAB has been found to be dependent on the nature of the substituent. A study of the solvent dependence of JAB in benzyl 2-tetrahydropyranyl ether has shown an opposite trend in the variation of JAB to that previously reported in the literature. The proton magnetic resonance spectrum of the 2-tetrahydropyranyl ether of 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol has been measured in several different solvents and at several temperatures. Analysis of the ABX3 pattern produced by the trifluoroethyl group revealed that the vicinal coupling constants JAX and JBX had different magnitudes. This difference is interpreted as evidence that the C-HA and C-HB bonds of the trifluoroethyl group differ electronically. In contrast to the above result, the 2-tetrahydropyranyl ether of ethanol showed equal vicinal proton-proton coupling constants in the ethyl group.

description: Successful implementation of supply chain management (SCM) within organisations requires new workforce skills developed in faster learning cycle times and through learning experiences that emphasise multidisciplinarity and knowledge integration. However, as SCM is an emerging field, practice has progressed well in advance of systematic knowledge development. In order to address this knowledge deficit a number of industries and business enterprises are exploring ways by which to accelerate SCM learning - that is, accelerate the creation and capture of new SCM knowledge. One way has been to enter into university-industry collaborative arrangements. While such arrangements have been applied in other areas of knowledge, little is known about how effective they are at increasing the speed with which knowledge is created and then learned in SCM, even less so in an Australian context. This study sought to address the present knowledge gap in this area. The aim of the research was to identify and examine enablers for accelerating SCM learning within the context of an Australian university-industry collaboration which was established specifically to more quickly develop effective SCM professionals. To achieve this aim, an exploratory qualitative case study was used. The study was conducted within an interpretivist-constructivist research paradigm and employed grounded theory methods.

Basandosi sulle indicazioni del vademecum Tutte le mamme a scuola, il presente contributo cerca di rispondere a queste domande analizzando i bisogni linguistici delle donne migranti, interrogandosi su quale italiano insegnare, su quale metodo didattico adottare con particolare attenzione all’approccio autobiografico e all’“imparare facendo” e presentando i libri di testo rivolti a questa tipologia di apprendenti. Le tre interviste in appendice, raccolte in tre diversi centri che si occupano di corsi di italiano L2 per donne immigrate, raccontano come tutte queste indicazioni possano essere messe in pratica per cercare di soddisfare quel desiderio di integrazione e promozione sociale di cui le allieve si fanno portatrici,  che rende la classe di lingua non solo il luogo in cui si impara a parlare italiano, ma anche un laboratorio sociale in cui sperimentare modi diversi di approcciarsi e di considerare la diversità.     Not only language. Italian L2 for migrant women between linguistic needs and the desire for integration.   How is an Italian L2 course organized for migrant women? Why are these courses different from other classes designed for adult immigrants? Based on the indications in the handbook Tutte le mamme a scuola, this article tries to answer these questions analyzing the linguistic needs of migrant women, considering what Italian should be taught, what teaching method should be used with special attention placed on the autobiographical approach and “learning by doing”. The three interviews in the appendix, from three different centers which offer Italian L2 courses to immigrant women, tell about how these indications can be put into practice to satisfy the desire for the integration and social inclusion of these students, making the language class more than a place where Italian is learned, but it becomes a social laboratory where different approaches can be tried out and diversities can be made evident.

description: Present Australian education policy is predicated upon what is described as an "education revolution" (Rudd & Smith, 2007), part of a human capital revolution, a policy which is intended to encompass social and economic aspects of people's lives and be lifelong. Over the past decade, and paralleling present Australian education policy, international and supranational institutions, such as International Labour Organisation (ILO) and the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), continue to promote education generally and lifelong learning specifically. They argue it is the only viable policy response to the growing globalisation of societies and their economies (International Labour Organisation, 2000a; Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development, 2004). The Australian policy expectation that all Australians should be lifelong learners reflects and embraces that global perspective. However, what motivates Australians to continue learning over their lifespan is not well understood, nor is it certain whether all Australians can be lifelong learners; and there is evidence that not all wish to be. Asking What makes an Australian lifelong learner? raises significant implications for Australians individually, and as a society. It goes to the heart of economic and human capital theory and policy and, more importantly, to the heart of people's lived experience, their quality of and purpose in life - their way of being in society.

description: The sports departments of news organisations with both newspaper and website publications have been affected considerably by the evolving demands of online journalism. The over-arching focus of the research project is on sports coverage in print and web newspapers, and how online journalism has changed sports journalism. This includes some of the major issues the transforming environment has created for sports departments and its journalists. These involve elements such as the types of content in publications, and adoption and usage of innovations such as publishing methods and Twitter. Other key factors centre on the impact of commercialisation and workloads in the changing field. The study has been conducted through a unique framework combining field theory, gatekeeping theory, and diffusion of innovations theory. Further, the research involves a comparative study of six sports departments from broadsheet/quality news organisations in three nations. The news organisations selected were: The Sydney Morning Herald and The Australian in Australia; The Times of India and The Hindu in India; and the Guardian and The Daily Telegraph in the UK. As a result, the project collects both data for interpretation at national, organisational and individual levels.

Exploring Canadian pharmacy students’ e-health literacy : a mixed method study
Creators: name: Park, Jamie Y.
name: Min, Jason
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2020

description: Background: While much has been described about technology use by digital natives in general, understanding of pharmacy student’s knowledge and understanding of technology is lacking. Objective: This study explores the current state of pharmacy students’ self-rated digital health literacy in British Columbia, Canada, and seeks to identify future opportunities for technology training in pharmacy education and in practice. Methods: A mixed methods design using surveys and semi-structured interviews was conducted. An online, validated survey (eHEALS) was conducted among currently enrolled 2nd to 4th year pharmacy students at the University of British Columbia. An additional interview was offered to consenting participants to further explore the use of technology in daily lives, pharmacy practicums, and implications on future pharmacy curricula. Both quantitative and qualitative thematic analysis was done of all data. Results: A total of 30 pharmacy students completed the eHEALS survey and 5 completed interviews. Most participants were 2nd year students (50%), were 25 years and younger (80%), and female (87%). Ranking of digital health literacy was lower than expected with participants stating they know what (87%), where (87%) and how to find (77%) health resources on the Internet. Even less students (77%) rated that they have the skills to evaluate the health resources that they find on the Internet and only 53% felt confident in using information from the Internet to make health decisions. Most students mentioned that they had limited technology related training at school and would like more training opportunities throughout their program and connect what they have learned at school to their practice. Conclusions: These results expose significant and surprising gaps in student understanding of technology despite modifications seen in the entry-to-practice PharmD curriculum. Regional differences and digital health literacy of practicing pharmacists are areas that require better understanding and hold significant impact as practice evolves.
