description: Background
COVID-19 immunisation providers have been at the forefront of the pandemic, and their ability to communicate effectively with patients is key to encouraging COVID-19 vaccine acceptance and uptake. This study explored providers’ perspectives on the factors influencing communication with patients about COVID-19 vaccines.
Methods
We used an explanatory-sequential mixed-methods approach to conduct the study between December 2021 and March 2022. Phase I involved a cross-sectional survey with immunisation providers in New South Wales (n = 341; 189 general practitioners, 118 nurses and 34 pharmacists), followed by Phase II: semi-structured, in-depth qualitative interviews (n = 19; 10 nurses, 9 pharmacists). We generated descriptive results for the survey. We analysed the qualitative data thematically using an inductive approach.
Results
Almost half of survey participants reported communicating often with people who were hesitant about COVID-19 vaccines (49 %; 166/341), however, 21 % (71/341) reported inadequate time to address concerns during consultations. Interview participants reported communication challenges, including time constraints, difficulties addressing and eliciting patient concerns, and keeping up to date with changing information. Conversely, interview participants reported that easy access to government information resources, time to learn about COVID-19 vaccines proactively, knowing about and being able to use tailored strategies to support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and CALD patients were helpful when communicating with patients.
Conclusions
Immunisation providers play an important role in patient vaccine acceptance and uptake. Our findings indicate that whilst providers were largely confident in their interactions with patients, further communication support would strengthen providers’ skills in communicating with patients who have questions and concerns about COVID-19 vaccines.

description: Based on fundamental equations of the elasticity theory, a unified higher-order shear deformation theory is developed for bending and free vibration analysis of functionally graded (FG) microplates with porosities. The modified strain gradient theory is employed to capture the size effects. Bi-directional series with hybrid shape functions are used to solve the problems. Several important effects including thickness-to-material length scale parameters, side-to-thickness ratio, and boundary conditions on the deflections and natural frequencies of FG porous microplates are investigated.

Translating Metalanguage: An Arabic Translation and Analysis of Munday's Application of the Appraisal Framework to Translation Studies

Year: 2025
Subjects: classificationCode: 44
subject: Human society

description: The study of evaluative positioning and its linguistic manifestations across a variety of discourses has recently garnered much interest, with many scholars and researchers exploring the field, developing related analytical frameworks and subjecting them to practice and critique (Martin and White 2005, Thompson and Alba-Juez 2014, Bednarek 2008 and 2009, Bolivar 2001, Lemke 1998, and many others). A closer look at the evaluative function of language in contemporary Arabic translation theory reveals that it is underrepresented. The present thesis aims to react to this reality by producing a functionally adequate Arabic translation of an insightful theoretical framework of evaluation as applied to Translation Studies, with a view to making it available to Arabic Translation Studies, and addressing a gap in Arabic metalinguistic terminology by creating its Arabic terms. Adopting a functionalist translation approach (Nord 1997, Reiss and Vermeer 1984/2014), I will translate into Arabic a part of the second chapter in Munday's Evaluation in Translation: Critical Points of Translator Decision-Making (2012) where he applies to Translation Studies the Appraisal Framework developed by Martin and White through the analysis of Obama's 2009 inaugural address and three different Spanish renderings through interpretation. The critical commentary will then look into terminology and term creation as a first problem area where issues such as term-concept stability, term overlap, synonymy and ambiguity are expected to arise (Rey 1995, Cabré 1999). A second problem area will involve issues that may be encountered while translating illustrative examples furnished by Munday to show how evaluation operates in decisions taken by Spanish interpreters, such as back-translation, gloss, and the degree of translator intervention. Finally, the applicability of the Arabic terms of the Appraisal Framework to an Arabic context will be tested through analyzing the official Arabic version of Obama's address produced by the US Department of State.

description: Global responses to the climate crisis continue to focus on Western theoretical perspectives and scientific solutions but overshadow community-based responses by indigenous communities. An effective response to the climate crisis in the Pacific Islands needs the Pacific Islanders' own story and their own response systems. This study will explore the role of Indigenous Knowledge Systems (IKS) in addressing sea-level rise (SLR) and dried water sources (DWS) drawing from a case study in Vatutavui village, Fiji. Using the methods of focus group discussion and individual interviews, the study will identify how members of Vatutavui village are responding to SLR and DWS using their Indigenous knowledge and practices. The paper will then weave the findings of this study together with contemporary discourses of social ecological resilience to the climate crisis. We discovered that Indigenous Knowledge System (IKS) continue to cement their significance in Indigenous Fijian villages, and it is a foundational response to the climate crisis. Placing emphasis on IKS in addressing the climate crisis in Vatutavui had positive ecological and social cultural implications.

Lawvere-Tierney sheafification in Homotopy Type Theory
Creators: name: Quirin, Kevin
name: Tabareau, Nicolas
Publisher: name: Alma Mater Studiorum - University of Bologna
Year: 2016
Subjects: homotopy type theory; sheaf; modalities

description: Sheafification is a popular tool in topos theory which allows to extend the internal logic of a topos with new principles. One of its most famous applications is the possibility to transform a topos into a boolean topos using the dense topology, which corresponds in essence to Gödel’s double negation translation. The same construction has not been developed in Martin-Löf type theory because of a mismatch between topos theory and type theory. This mismatched has been fixed recently by considering homotopy type theory, an extension of Martin-Löf type theory with new principles inspired by category theory and homotopy theory, and which corresponds closely to higher toposes. In this paper, we give a computer-checked construction of Lawvere-Tierney sheafification in homotopy type theory.

description: Increasingly, competing discourses shape tensions between the role of the contemporary university and the global markets in which universities must exist. This paper draws on the examination of interviews with nine education academics in Australia to illuminate the construction of ‘global’ in the production of the global graduate (GG). Discourse analysis is used to explore how, against the backdrop of COVID 19, participants construct different identities variously related to current and future orientations for the GG. This paper uses two big ‘D’ discourses – efficiency as centralised imperative and boundless productivity – to explore knowledge production and accountabilities, neoliberalism, internationalisation and the construction of marketised universities operating in global knowledge economies. We conclude, the GG is an elusive notion, which draws mobile and multiple positionings to reveal unsettled and often ambiguous constructions of ‘university’ and ‘teacher’, with related tensions for the role and identity of education academics.

description: Although the nature of the academic profession and related career advancement has been well documented, little empirical evidence has been provided on the professional agency that academics employ to advance from one academic rank to another. Adopting an agency focus, this study therefore investigates what strategies academics adopt when seeking promotion. Through semi-structured interviews with 37 participants from a representative Australian university, the study identifies promotion seeking as a two-stage process involving two clusters of six interrelated strategies. A Framework of Agency in Academic Promotion (FAAP) is proposed, demonstrating how, with motivation to climb the career ladder, academics engage in both self-oriented and socially oriented strategies, initially to ‘become promotable’ and then to write a promotion application. The study confirms and elaborates the role of professional agency in academic promotion, supports the argument that strategies are an important enabler of agency, and contributes to the scarce empirical literature in this field. Academics and their managers, developers and mentors can use the FAAP model to craft promotion strategies and career development plans.

description: The escalating global energy demand, driven by population growth and economic development, necessitates the urgent adoption of sustainable energy solutions. Solar power, particularly photovoltaic (PV) technologies, emerges as a key contender due to its abundance and eco-friendliness. While solar energy has vast potential, a significant portion remains untapped, especially in indoor environments where the Internet of Things (IoT) is rapidly expanding. Existing indoor photovoltaic (IPV) technologies like amorphous silicon, dye-sensitized solar cells, organic photovoltaics, and perovskites each have limitations in efficiency, stability, or scalability. Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) present a promising alternative due to their high optical absorption, suitable band gaps, self-passivated surfaces, and potential for low-cost production. However, a comprehensive understanding of the theoretical efficiency limits of TMD-based solar cells is crucial to guide material and device optimization efforts. In this work, we aim to establish these limits and assess the viability of TMDs for various applications. First, we establish the efficiency limits of multilayer TMD solar cells (MoS2, MoSe2, WS2, and WSe2) under the standard AM 1.5 G spectrum. Our approach involves an extended detailed balance model that incorporates radiative, Auger, and defect-assisted Shockley-Read-Hall recombination mechanisms, along with measured optical absorption spectra. We demonstrate that even with current material quality, single-junction TMD solar cells with film thicknesses as thin as 50 nm can achieve up to 25% power conversion efficiency. This finding positions TMDs as a strong candidate for high-specific-power photovoltaic applications, particularly in areas like aerospace, transportation, and wearable electronics. Next, we investigate the potential of TMD solar cells for indoor energy harvesting, considering various indoor lighting conditions (fluorescent, LED, halogen, and low-light AM 1.5 G) and illumination levels. Our analysis reveals that TMD solar cells can achieve high power conversion efficiencies under these conditions, comparable to or outperforming incumbent IPV technologies. Specifically, we find that TMDs could reach efficiencies up to 36.5% under fluorescent lighting, 35.6% under LED lighting, 11.2% under halogen lighting, and 27.6% under low-light AM 1.5 G. These results highlight the promise of TMDs as a stable and sustainable material for powering IoT devices and other indoor applications, potentially revolutionizing the future of energy harvesting in indoor environments.

description: Introduction: This field-based case study assessed linear accelerations of the torso centre of mass (CoM) and the tibia using two wearable sensors in a triathlete performing 20 minutes of continuous deep water running.
Methods: One triathlete (36 years; height; 151 cm; weight; 63 kg) participated in this field-based case study. One wearable sensor (an accelerometer) was located on the lumbar five/sacrum one (L5/S1) spinous process as a proxy for the centre of mass (CoM) and on the midpoint of the right tibia to capture linear acceleration magnitudes. The participant then performed 20 minutes of deep water running that was completed at a self-selected pace.
Results: No significant differences (p<0.05) in torso CoM and tibia acceleration magnitudes were detected in 20 minutes of deep water running. Despite this, the magnitude of torso CoM and tibia acceleration, notably in the anteroposterior and vertical directions, increased at the midpoint of the deep water run, possibly indicating the onset of fatigue.
Conclusions: This field-based case study suggests that a wearable sensor can reliably detect variations to the torso CoM and tibia by way of linear acceleration magnitudes in 20 minutes of continuous deep water running. Based on these results, it is possible that the increased acceleration observed at the tibia were due to the onset of fatigue. Future investigations with a larger number of participants are needed to further explore the relationship between torso and tibia acceleration and fatigue in deep water running.

description: Abstract:  In reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, there is a recognition triggered by the pandemic of the role that walking and cycling (active travel) can make to substitute motorized travel, particularly on short trips. However, there is a lack of evidence at the micro level on the realistic, empirically derived, potential of these options. Here, we used reliable tracing data to examine the potential of these mitigation options for reducing GHG emissions in Vietnam. Apart from similar categories of travel purposes as in other studies, we decided to categorize “visit relatives” and “eating out” as two more separate categories of travel purposes in Vietnamese case, which together accounts for nearly 16% of total trips. We discovered that 65% of all motorcycle trips in this case study were less than 3 miles in duration, therefore active travel was able to create a signifcant impact on GHG emissions from personal travel. Active travel can replace 62% of short motorcycle trips if considering travel patterns and constraints while saving 18% of GHG emissions that would have come from motorized transport. If active travel can further replace all shopping trips normally done by motorcycles, in total being equivalent to 84% of short trips, 22% of GHG emissions from motorcycles can be reduced. It should be noticed that active travels have time cost implications, impacting economy at both household and city levels, but from a comprehensive “co-beneft” standpoint, this transformation could act as a catalyst for addressing trafc congestion, air pollution, and even community health and well-being in urban areas.

description: Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to meet Mary Kay Morrison, an active member and past president of the Association for Applied and Therapeutic Humor (AATH). Design/methodology/approach: This case study is presented in two sections: an autobiography of Mary Kay Morrison, followed by a ten-question interview. Findings: Mary Kay recommends exploration of the benefits of humor and laughter for mental health professionals. In recognition of the need for clarifying terminology, she coined the terms Humergy, which is joyful, optimistic, healthy energy and Humordoomer, which denotes a person who zaps that energy from us. Her work includes exploring the five stages of Humor Development as a significant factor in understanding cognitive development. Research limitations/implications: This is a personal narrative, albeit from an educator who has been active in the field of applied and therapeutic humor for over 30 years. Practical implications: Humor and laughter research is recommended to explore their use in optimizing mental health. Mary Kay endorses expanding pioneering work in therapeutic humor as a treatment for anxiety and depression. She shares recommendations for humor practice in both prevention of mental health challenges and as a viable treatment for anxiety and depression. Social implications: Three humor benefits with particular social applications are highlighted. Humor facilitates communication, creates an optimal learning environment and supports change. Originality/value: To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first case study about Mary Kay Morrison, Past President of the AATH and founder of the AATH Certified Humor Professional program.

description: Abstract: Daytime napping are used by elite athletes in both training and match-day settings. Currently, there are limited interventional studies on the efficacy of napping on physical performance in elite team-sport athletes. Therefore, the objective was to investigate the effect of a daytime nap (<1 h) on afternoon performance of peak power, reaction time, subjective wellness, and aerobic performance in professional rugby union athletes. A randomised cross-over design was carried out amongst 15 professional rugby union athletes. Athletes performed nap (NAP) and no nap (CON) conditions on two occasions, separated by one week. Baseline testing of reaction time, subjective wellness, and 6-s peak power test on a cycle ergometer was completed in the morning, followed by 2 x 45-minute training sessions, after which athletes completed the NAP or CON condition at 1200h. Following the nap period, baseline measures were retested in addition to a 30-minute fixed intensity interval cycle and a 4-minute maximal effort cycling test. A significant group x time interaction was determined for 6-s peak power output (+157.6 W, p<0.01, d=1.53), perceived fatigue (-0.2 AU, p=0.01, d=0.37) and muscle soreness (-0.1 AU, p=0.04, d=0.75) in favor of the NAP condition. A significantly lower perceived exertion rating (-1.2 AU, p<0.01, d=1.72) was recorded for the fixed intensity session in favour of NAP. This study highlights that utilizing daytime naps between training sessions on the same day improved afternoon peak power and lower perceptions of fatigue, soreness, and exertion during afternoon training in professional rugby union athletes.

description: The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is a central regulator of cell physiology. EGFR is activated by ligand binding, triggering receptor dimerization, activation of kinase activity, and intracellular signaling. EGFR is transiently confined within various plasma membrane nanodomains, yet how this may contribute to regulation of EGFR ligand binding is poorly understood. To resolve how EGFR nanoscale compartmentalization gates ligand binding, we developed single-particle tracking methods to track the mobility of ligand-bound and total EGFR, in combination with modeling of EGFR ligand binding. In comparison to unliganded EGFR, ligand-bound EGFR is more confined and distinctly regulated by clathrin and tetraspanin nanodomains. Ligand binding to unliganded EGFR occurs preferentially in tetraspanin nanodomains, and disruption of tetraspanin nanodomains impairs EGFR ligand binding and alters the conformation of the receptor's ectodomain. We thus reveal a mechanism by which EGFR confinement within tetraspanin nanodomains regulates receptor signaling at the level of ligand binding.

description: Background: The use of recovery-oriented practice (ROP) can be challenging to implement in mental health services. This qualitative sub-study of the Principles Unite Local Services Assisting Recovery (PULSAR) project explored how consumers perceive their recovery following community mental health staff undertaking specific ROP training. Methods: Using a qualitative participatory methodology, 21 consumers (aged 18–63 years) participated in one-on-one interviews. A thematic analysis was applied. Results: Four main themes were extracted: (1) connection, (2) supportive relationships, (3) a better life, and (4) barriers. Connections to community and professional staff were important to support consumers in their recovery journey. Many consumers were seeking and striving towards a better life that was personal and individual to each of them, and how they made meaning around the idea of a better life. Barriers to recovery primarily focused on a lack of choice. A minor theme of ‘uncertainty’ suggested that consumers struggled to identify what their recovered future might entail. Conclusion: Despite staff undertaking the ROP training, all participants struggled to identify language and aspects of recovery in their interaction with the service, suggesting a need for staff to promote open, collaborative conversations around recovery. A specifically targeted recovery resource might facilitate such conversation.
