Πολιτιστικά ηχοτοπία

description: Στις μέρες μας, ο πολιτισμός και η ανάπτυξη αποτελούν αλληλένδετα στοιχεία της σύγχρονης κοινωνίας. Με το πέρασμα του χρόνου η έννοια της πολιτισμικής κληρονομιάς έχει διευρύνει το εννοιολογικό της πλαίσιο, τόσο ειδολογικά όσο και διαχρονικά. Μια από τις κατηγορίες των πολιτιστικών αγαθών της παγκόσμιας πολιτισμικής κληρονομιάς είναι και τα πολιτιστικά τοπία, τα οποία προκύπτουν από το φυσικό περιβάλλον στο πλαίσιο του οποίου δραστηριοποιούνται ομάδες. Πολιτισμός είναι ο παράγοντας, η αιτία, ο συντελεστής, το φυσικό περιβάλλον είναι το μέσο και το πολιτισμικό τοπίο το αποτέλεσμα. Αυτή η άμεση επαφή και αλληλεπίδραση ιστορικού-πολιτισμικού και φυσικού στοιχείου συνέθεσαν τα πολιτιστικά τοπία, στα οποία με τη σειρά τους ενσωματώθηκαν και οι πολιτιστικές διαδρομές. Ένα παράδειγμα πολιτιστικής διαδρομής είναι η «Via Fancigena», μια ιστορική διαδρομή από το Καντέρμπουρι στη Ρώμη,η οποία θεωρείται ένα από τα τρία προσκυνήματα στα οποία θα μπορούσαν να συγχωρεθούν όλες οι αμαρτίες. Ονομαστικά, άλλες τέτοιες διαδρομές είναι η πολιτιστική διαδρομή στα Αρχαία Θέατρα της Ηπείρου, «Στις ρίζες του Μ. Αλεξάνδρου», «Δρόμοι του κρασιού» και «Πολιτιστικές Διαδρομές Καστοριάς». Το 2021 εγκαινιάστηκε μια διαδρομή στο Λαύριο. Ως περιοχή μελέτης ορίζεται η ευρύτερη περιοχή της κοιλάδας Σούριζας-Αγριλέζας της Λαυρεωτικής. Τα 180 στρέμματα της Λαυρεωτικής διατρέχει η «Πράσινη διαδρομή», η οποία πρόκειται για έναν προδιαγεγραμμένο και προσβάσιμο περίπατο στο λαγκάδι της Σούριζας-Αγριλέζας. Αυτή η λοφώδης έκταση γης μήκους 1.994μ., έπειτα από εργασίες συντήρησης, στερέωσης και καθαρισμού των τεκμηρίων πολιτισμού του αρχαιολογικού περιπάτου, ήταν έτοιμη για πολιτισμική επεξεργασία και ανάδειξη από την Εφορεία Αρχαιοτήτων Ανατολικής Αττικής. Επιπλέον, μια «μπλε γραμμή» μήκους 363μ. έρχεται στο προσκήνιο για άτομα με κινητικές δυσκολίες. Αρωγή στο «μπλε» αυτό εγχείρημα παρουσιάζει η παρούσα ερευνητική δράση, μιας και η δημιουργία QR κωδικού (κώδικας γρήγορης απόκρισης) συνδράμει επικουρικά στη διέγερση των λοιπών αισθήσεων των ατόμων, όπως είναι στη δική μας περίπτωση η ακουστική, η οποία εν δυνάμει κινητοποιεί το συνειδησιακό και ασυνείδητο ευφάνταστο. Σκοπός της παρούσας πτυχιακής εργασίας η οποία συνέβη σε συνεργασία με το Μουσικό Σχολείο Παλλήνης, ήταν η παρατήρηση στη δημιουργία πολιτιστικών ηχοτοπίων και η οργάνωση των καλλιτεχνικών δημιουργιών των μαθητών με στόχο τη διευκόλυνση δημιουργίας ηχοτοπίων και συστηματοποίησης της διαδικασίας. Η εμπλοκή του Πανεπιστημίου Δυτικής Αττικής σε αυτή τη δράση έγινε με γνώμονα ερευνητικούς σκοπούς.

description: Deoxynivalenol (DON) is the key virulence factor in Fusarium head blight. However, rapid and low-cost methods for DON are limited. Herein, a novel label-free GelRed-aptamer sensor was developed for the detection of DON. GelRed was embedded in double strain DNA (dsDNA) consisting of a single chain aptamer and its complementary DNA (cDNA), resulting in the increase of fluorescence intensity. However, DON preferentially combined with the aptamer and did not combine with its cDNA, which would result in the decrease in the formation of the GelRed/aptamer/cDNA complex, greatly reducing the fluorescence intensity. The samples were extracted from wheat, centrifuged, and filtered through a 0.22 μm membrane. Good linearity was obtained for DON from 3.13 to 313 mg L−1. The limit of quantitation (LOQ) for wheat samples was 6.07 mg L−1, providing a low cost method for DON compared with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. Experiments with spiked samples showed good recoveries from 92% to 105% with relative standard deviations less than 5.33% with analysis within 20 min. This method is simple and low cost with potential applications in agriculture and food.

description: Global warming due to the emission of carbon dioxide (CO2) gas, by the anthropogenic sources is a great threat to the environment. A part of this gas is absorbed by soil bacteria as well as aquatic bacteria and it is converted into insoluble calcium carbonate (CaCO3) or calcite. Increased calcite concentration in water and agricultural land creates many problems to the human. In this investigation, an attempt has been made to carry out some experiments to isolate some bacteria from cow dung, which have both calcite solubilization and urease activities. Isolated bacteria solubilize calcite due to the secretion of citric acid, oxalic acid and sanazine pigment. All bacterial isolates were identified by 16S rRNA gene sequencing and phylogenetic relationship among them was also studied by MEGA 6 software.

description: Hierarchically bimetallic Zr-Cu metal–organic framework combined with 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid (Zr-CuBTC MOFs) was synthesized using hydrothermal reaction and used as modifier for investigation of non-electroactive glyphosate. These MOFs were dropcasted on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) and non-electroactive glyphosate were tested by cyclic voltammetry (CV), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). Glyphosate in water was recognized by the difference of currents in spiked and non-spiked glyphosate samples. At the same time, CuBTC and Fe-CuBTC were investigated for the best material for sensor development. The results showed the bimetallic Zr-CuBTC MOF is the most promising for the determination of glyphosate. Morphological and structural studies showed the coordination of Cu2+ with the presence of Zr4+ ions with BTC ligands provided a highly porous framework with active surface area up to 1337 m2 g−1. The pore diameter and pore volume increased to 1.75 nm and 0.687 cm3 g−1, respectively. Under optimal conditions, Zr-CuBTC modified on GCE (Zr-CuBTC/GCE) sensor is able to indirectly detect glyphosate in a water environment at a detection limit as low as 9 × 10−13 M. The developed sensor was employed to determine glyphosate in the surface water samples collected from the Red River, North Vietnam. The results showed good recoveries (94.6–107.1%) which were in agreement with liquid chromatography coupled tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) measurements. These results demonstrate the possibility of using this MOF material in sensor applications to determine trace pesticides in the contaminated water.

description: An abnormal form of prion protein (PrP) is considered to be the pathogen in prion diseases. However, the structural details of this abnormal form are not known. To characterize the non-native structure of PrP, we synthesized position-specific double-fluorescent labeled PrP for a fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) experiment. Using FRET, we observed a conformational change in the labeled PrP associated with amyloid fibril formation. The FRET analysis indicated that the distance between fluorescent labeled N- and C-terminal sites of PrP increased upon the formation of amyloid fibrils compared with that of the native state. This approach using FRET analysis is useful for elucidating the structure of abnormal PrP.

description: A simple, cheap, and portable Arduino-based photometer was constructed and used to determine cobalt(II) after extraction by a thin film microextraction strip. The paired emitter-detector diodes configuration was employed for making the photometer. A polymer inclusion membrane was applied to fabricate the thin film microextraction strip. The optimization of the polymer membrane composition was done by response surface methodology (RSM). The optimized membrane was obtained containing 40.8% (w/w) of polyvinyl chloride, 45.0% of (2-ethylhexyl) phosphoric acid extractor, 1.3% of 1-(2-pyridylazo)-2-naphthol as the complexing agent and 12.9% of tri-butyl phosphate plasticizer. The variables affecting microextraction efficiency were optimized to be 0.05 M of sodium sulfate, pH 6.0, and extraction time of 120 min at room temperature (22 ± 1 °C). The analytical performance included a linear range between 3 and 200 µg L−1 with detection and quantitation limits of 1 and 3 µg L−1, respectively. The intra-day and inter-day precision were less than 2.9 and 6.2%, respectively. Finally, the method was used to determine cobalt in the water and tablets. Relative recovery for the tap water sample was from 94 to 111%.

description: Resorcinomycin (1) is composed of a nonproteinogenic amino acid, (S)-2-(3,5-dihydroxy-4-isopropylphenyl)-2-guanidinoacetic acid (2), and glycine. A biosynthetic gene cluster was identified in a genome database of Streptoverticillium roseoverticillatum by searching for orthologs of the genes responsible for biosynthesis of pheganomycin (3), which possesses a (2)-derivative at its N-terminus. The cluster contained a gene encoding an ATP-grasp-ligase (res5), which was suggested to catalyze the peptide bond formation between 2 and glycine. A res5-deletion mutant lost 1 productivity but accumulated 2 in the culture broth. However, recombinant RES5 did not show catalytic activity to form 1 with 2 and glycine as substrates. Moreover, heterologous expression of the cluster resulted in accumulation of only 2 and no production of 1 was observed. These results suggested that a peptide with glycine at its N-terminus may be used as a nucleophile and then maturated by a peptidase encoded by a gene outside of the cluster.

Τα αποτελέσματα είναι μάλλον απογοητευτικά. Όσοι από τους λιανεμπόρους επιλέγουν να ακούγεται μουσική στα καταστήματά τους, το κάνουν με τρόπο μάλλον τυχαίο και χωρίς να έχουν λάβει υπόψη τους τα δομικά χαρακτηριστικά της και το βαθμό στον οποίο αυτά αλληλεπιδρούν μεταξύ τους και, υπό το πρίσμα των προσωπικών χαρακτηριστικών των πελατών των εν λόγω καταστημάτων, επηρεάζουν την καταναλωτική τους συμπεριφορά. Ταυτόχρονα, ελάχιστη σημασία φαίνεται να δίνεται στην ποιότητα αναπαραγωγής του ήχου αλλά και τον συνειδητό καθορισμό του επιθυμητού είδους μουσικής.
title: Barbey d'Aurevilly polémiste
Publisher: name: Université Toulouse - Jean Jaurès
Year: 2008

description: “L’histoire de la polémique à notre époque est l’histoire même du journalisme.” C’est sur cette vision d’un XIXe siècle polémique par excellence que Pierre Larousse conclut l’article qu’il consacre à cette notion : un siècle fécond en batailles de mots et d’idées, qui trouvent dans la presse -alors en pleine expansion- un vecteur privilégié et une caisse de résonance sans précédent. Comme beaucoup d’écrivains de l’époque, Barbey d’Aurevilly se jette dans l’arène avec une fougue et une endurance qui le distinguent, et qui lui valent, entre autres, la réputation d’éreinteur que l’on sait. C’est précisément cette image de l’éreinteur que ce colloque sur la polémique permet d’affiner : en dégageant, à côté de la posture du pamphlétaire, celle d’un écrivain qui discute, argumente et questionne un certain nombre de pratiques et de valeurs selon une démarche dynamique et constructive.

description: An effective and sensitive SERS substrate (TPDH-COF/Au NPs) on a covalent organic framework (TPDH-COF) decorated with gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) was fabricated via electrostatic self-assembly and successfully applied for the determination of thiabendazole (TBZ) in fruit juice. The “raspberry-like” structure SERS substrate combined the properties of the abundant “hot spots” between the Au NPs and the adsorption performance of TPDH-COFs for trace analytes. Excellent SERS performance was observed, which achieved a high enhancement factor value of 2.01 × 108 for rhodamine 6 G, with considerable reproducibility and excellent long-term stability of at least 28 d. The limit of detection was estimated to be 5 ppb for TBZ in fruit juice. The result demonstrated that the TPDH-COF/Au NPs have great potential for SERS analyses and determination of pesticide residues in foods.
Learning from psychotherapy for postgraduate supervision
Creators: name: Arnold, Josie
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This paper explores some of the ways in which our insights into the pedagogy of postgraduate supervision may benefit from understanding some of the attributes of psychotherapy. It proposes that psychotherapy involves teaching and learning processes that can be fruitfully compared with the idealised pedagogical model of the dialectic. It develops insights into postgraduate supervision as pedagogy by interrogating the intersection of teaching and learning with some aspects of psychotherapy. In doing so, it shows how those pedagogical aspects of psychotherapy can enable a deeper understanding and richer practising of postgraduate supervision. This paper works within a model postulated by Gregory Ulmer. In his development of an idea that there is in academic writing the self and the researched, the conscious intellectual semiotic and that arising from storytelling, Gregory Ulmer surveys the idea of 'mystories'. This word encompasses the self, the story and the mystery of this. I propose my own version of this as the 'subjective academic narrative'.

Employer of choice - staff perspectives
Creators: name: Gill, Robert
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: 'Employer of Choice' (EOC) is an evolving principle for Australian business. EOC reflects the value and importance organisations place on their key stakeholders - their staff. This paper aims to define employer of choice for Australian business conditions, demonstrate the link between EOC and 'Corporate Social Responsibility' (CSR), expand on the valuable contribution staff add to organisational 'Reputation and Risk Management', and illustrate how 'Information and Communication Technology' (ICT) can provide the ideal platform for educating a large office-based staff about their organisation’s EOC program. Increasing numbers of Australian organisations are paying greater attention to motivating and effectively utilising the skills of their employees. The current climate of buoyant employment in Australia enables employees and job-seekers to look beyond monetary incentive in employment to include aligning work culture with their individual beliefs on corporate, environment and social responsibility. Many organisations are working hard to acquire EOC status, as EOC programs are one way of addressing employee requirements. This paper suggests 'Computer Assisted Learning' (CAL), which embraces the constructivists’ principles of adult learning, enables individuallytailored education for large office-based staff on their organisation’s EOC programs, enhancing opportunities to reflect an organisation’s brand and desirable culture.
Dimensions that relate to excellence in leadership in Cambodia: an exploratory study

description: This paper explores leader behaviour in a Southeast nation which has a strong Hindu-Buddhist heritage and in recent years’ experienced political turmoil. In particular it attempts to extend the boundaries of leadership theories by studying cultural imperatives in a nation that has roots in Sanskrit philosophies as opposed to Confucianism found in neighbouring Vietnam, China, Korea and Japan. The research employs structural equation modelling to generate a leadership profile of managers in Cambodia and in so doing identified cultural factors that influence excellence in leadership among Cambodian managers. The findings suggest that Theravada Buddhism and Cambodia’s turbulent recent political history has strong influence on the managerial behaviour of the country’s managers.

description: The sorption behaviour of three kinds of macrocyclic sorbents – amidoamine tetradodecyloxyphenylencalix[4]resorcinarene 1 and tetramethyloxyphenylencalix[4]-resorcinarene 2; composition of calix[4]resorcinarene 1+2, and novel P.1 and P.2 polymers with amidoamine calix[4]resorcinarene units towards three water-soluble azo dyes – methyl orange (MO), acid orange (AO5) and Congo red (CR) was studied. All sorbents form supramolecular complexes with the aforesaid dyes. The best sorbent for MO was shown to be polymer P.1, for the AO5 – composition 1+2 and for the CR – macrocycle 2, with high sorption capacities (373, 497 and 625 mg/g, respectively). The main factor in the binding of dyes by all studied sorbents proved to be surface electrostatic interactions. In addition to the Coulomb interactions, the most important factor for the polymers appeared to be the ‘net’ structure of the polymer with a high concentration of binding sites, providing electrostatic, hydrogen, dipole–dipole and hydrophobic interaction. Hydrophobic substituents in the sorbents exert a significant influence on the dye sorption. The increase of the sorbents' hydrophobicity leads to a lower sorption capacity for MO and CR and a higher sorption capacity for AO5. It was shown that sorption efficiency of the sorbent depends on the ‘dye–sorbent’ structure conformity.

description: Researchers are acknowledging and acting on the need for more impostor phenomenon (IP) research with diverse people, specifically with Black students. Notably, the increased attention has led to the development of two theoretical frameworks on IP in Black students (Bernard & Neblett, 2018; Stone et al., 2018). However, a culturally informed quantitative measure has yet to be developed, even though researchers have suggested that the available impostor scales are likely not capturing all aspects of impostor phenomenon in Black students (Bravata, et al., 2020; Schulze, 2020). This dissertation is presented in two chapters: a systematized review and a scale development study. The first chapter is a systematized review, the goal of which was to further uncover the unifying themes across what is known and unknown in the impostor phenomenon literature as it relates to Black students in higher education. A total of 12 empirical articles were included in the review and after thorough analysis, two analytical themes were generated: (1) Measurement and Research Paradigms and (2) Racial Influences of Impostor Phenomenon. In the second, chapter I conducted an exploratory factor analysis (EFA) study for developing and validating the Black Impostor Phenomenon Scale (BIPS): a scale based on the theoretical framework presented in Stone et al. (2018) that details the distinct cultural characteristics of impostor stress in Black students. Specifically, an oversaturated pool of items was developed based on the central tenets and themes from Stone et al. (2018). The goals of this project area as follows: (1) develop a quantitative measure of IP for Black college students, (2) understand the underlying factor structure of the impostor scale, and (3) expand the utility of the central tenants presented in Stone et al. (2018). I expect there to be five emergent factors from the EFA, consistent with the theoretical framework. This research aims to develop the initial scale through expert review and use EFA to determine the scale’s factor structure. This study is innovative in that it will be the first known culturally informed systematized review of IP and the first culturally informed EFA of IP for Black students.

description: Some leading public relations scholars in Western developed countries such as the USA, Canada, Australia and the UK, have observed that the use of research by public relations practitioners is generally not encouraging. This view is supported by research findings from a number of countries (see, for example, Grunig (1992), Tymson and Lazar (2006), Cutlip, Center and Broom (2006), Lindenmann (2003)). On the contrary, there is hardly any literature on the subject matter in developing countries, and particularly Africa. At best, what we have is undocumented anecdotal support of the notion that research hardly gets attention in public relation practice in developing countries. This paper is a small step in the direction of addressing the imbalance in the literature relating to the use of research in public relations or otherwise in developing countries. In relation to the research-practice nexus, this paper seeks to answer two main questions: (1) what are the views of practitioners’ concerning the use of research in public relations practice? (2) Is public relations practice in public enterprises in Ghana informed by research? Data was collected through a self-administered questionnaire and the sample was drawn from a population consisting of government Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) that were featured in Ghana’s 2007 budget statement. The findings show that contrary to popular belief, public relations practice within the public/government sector in Ghana is informed by research and that practitioners report that their research activities are aimed at consensus.

description: A low-symmetry nickel(II) α-diimine complex [(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)imino)-((2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imino)-acenaphthene nickel(II) dibromide] (C1) was synthesized and characterized crystallographically. Response surface method (RSM) was employed to study the interactive effects of critical factors on ethylene polymerization. The maximum activity of C1, when activated by methylaluminoxane (MAO) cocatalyst {4960 kgPE [(mol Ni)−1 h−1]} was achieved at 10 °C, 7 bar and CC (cocatalyst-to-catalyst ratio) equal to 1550, which is higher than most similar counterparts. Considering surface plots of MW, it is concluded that at high levels (>1000) of CC, there is competition between chain transfer to aluminum and reinsertion of macromonomer to newly formed metal-methyl bonds.

description: Discorre sobre a ciência 2.0 e situa para sua análise os estudos métricos da informação científica na web social. Destaca a importância da presença online de pesquisadores como premissa de autoapresentação (visibilidade) e abertura ao diálogo participativo entre cientistas, seus pares e o grande público (engajamento). Analisa, por meio de uma pesquisa exploratória com abordagem quantitativa de base cientométrica 2.0, a presença online dos pesquisadores enquadrados na modalidade sênior do CNPq. Como resultado identifica-se que 25 dos 74 pesquisadores possuem ao menos um perfil em algum tipo de mídia social. Dentre as mídias, a acadêmica ResearchGate se sobressai tendo a preferência de 14 pesquisadores, seguida pela não acadêmica Facebook e a profissional LinkedIn, ambas com 9 pesquisadores. A criação e manutenção de perfis em mídias sociais tendem a contribuir para a reputação online do pesquisador. Considera-se que a tímida presença online verificada na pesquisa demonstra a necessidade de estudos que investiguem pesquisadores em outras modalidades.
Barbarity, civilization and decadence: meeting the challenge of creating an ecological civilization

description: In 1984 scientists in the former Soviet Union called for an ecological civilization. This idea was taken up in 1987 in China by Ye Qianji (2). Subsequently the notion of ecological civilization was promoted by the deputy director of China's State Environmental Protection Administration (SEPA), Pan Yue, incorporated into the Central Commission Report to the Communist Party's 17th Convention in November, 2007, and embraced as one of the key elements in its political guidelines.(3) Characterized as the successor to agricultural and industrial civilization, it is now being promoted as a goal for the whole of humanity in order to avert a global ecological disaster. The success or failure of this project to create an ecological civilization could determine whether humanity survives. But what does it mean to create an ecological civilization? What does 'civilization'; mean, and then what would it mean to create an 'ecological' civilization?

Bacteriophage biocontrol: food and environmental applications

description: Bacteriophages are viruses whose hosts are bacteria. The bactericidal nature of virulent bacteriophage has been exploited by researchers for decades hoping to utilise these viruses in the fight against bacterial infections and antibiotic resistant bacteria in clinical settings. More recently, the potential applications of bacteriophage biocontrol in the food, agriculture and aquaculture industries have been investigated by researchers attempting to develop ‘natural’ antimicrobial products. Bacteriophages have many advantages over conventional methods of controlling pathogenic bacteria, such as high host specificity, the ability to self-perpetuate, and the ability to evolve with their hosts to overcome some problems of resistance to the treatment. However, more research is necessary to optimise the parameters for treatment, including temperature, pH, exposure to UV, multiplicity of infection, mode of potential candidate for bacteriophage biocontrol must be genetically sequenced to ensure that it is unable to confer any virulence to the host. Bacteriophages have also been investigated for use as bacterial indicators of the microbiological quality of water, as well as in rapid arrays for the detection of pathogens in foods.
