title: Is chronic peripheral vestibular dysfunction associated with bone-related and fall-related indices of fracture risk in community-dwelling older adults?
Creators: name: Collier, Jayde
Publisher: name: Griffith University
Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: peripheral vestibular dysfunction
subject: older adults
subject: fracture risk

description: Impaired functioning of the peripheral vestibular system, known as peripheral vestibular dysfunction (PVD), is relatively prevalent amongst older populations. Sufferers often experience imbalance and vertigo, which increase the likelihood of falling. For this reason, PVD is typically viewed as a fall-related risk factor for fracture. However, fracture risk is also influenced by factors that impair the structural integrity and strength of bone (bone-related risk factors). It is unknown whether PVD is associated with poorer bonerelated indices of fracture risk. Thus, the primary objective of the current study, was to investigate bone-related and fall-related indices of fracture risk in older adults with PVD. Secondary aims of the project were to evaluate health-related quality of life of people living with PVD and to explore correlations between the indices of fracture risk.

description: The ESA Cornerstone Mission GAIA, to be launched prior to 2012 and with a nominal lifetime of 5 years, will improve the accuracy of Hipparcos astrometry by more than two orders of magnitude. GAIA high-precision global astrometric measurements will provide deep insights on the science of extra-solar planets. The GAIA contribution is primarily understood in terms of the number and spectral type of targets available for investigation, and characteristics of the planets to be searched for. Several hundreds of thousands of solar-type stars (F-G-K) within a sphere of $\sim 200$ pc centered on our Sun will be observed. GAIA will be particularly sensitive to giant planets (M$_\mathrm{p}$$\sim$M$_\mathrm{J}$) on wide orbits, up to periods twice as large as the mission duration, the potential signposts of the existence of rocky planets in the Habitable Zone. Thousands of new planets might be discovered, and a significant fraction of those which will be detected will have orbital parameters measured to better than 30% accuracy. By measuring to a few degrees the relative inclinations of planets in multiple systems with favorable configurations, GAIA will also make measurements of unique value towards a better understanding of the formation and evolution processes of planetary systems.

description: The analysis and characterization of human mobility using population-level mobility models is important for numerous applications, ranging from the estimation of commuter flows in cities to modeling trade flows between countries. However, almost all of these applications have focused on large spatial scales, which typically range between intra-city scales to inter-country scales. In this paper, we investigate population-level human mobility models on a much smaller spatial scale by using them to estimate customer mobility flow between supermarket zones. We use anonymized, ordered customer-basket data to infer empirical mobility flow in supermarkets, and we apply variants of the gravity and intervening-opportunities models to fit this mobility flow and estimate the flow on unseen data. We find that a doubly-constrained gravity model and an extended radiation model (which is a type of intervening-opportunities model) can successfully estimate 65--70\% of the flow inside supermarkets. Using a gravity model as a case study, we then investigate how to reduce congestion in supermarkets using mobility models. We model each supermarket zone as a queue, and we use a gravity model to identify store layouts with low congestion, which we measure either by the maximum number of visits to a zone or by the total mean queue size. We then use a simulated-annealing algorithm to find store layouts with lower congestion than a supermarket's original layout. In these optimized store layouts, we find that popular zones are often in the perimeter of a store. Our research gives insight both into how customers move in supermarkets and into how retailers can arrange stores to reduce congestion. It also provides a case study of human mobility on small spatial scales.

description: Holm 15A, the brightest cluster galaxy (BCG) of the galaxy cluster Abell 85, has an ultra-diffuse central region, 2 mag fainter than the faintest depleted core of any early-type galaxy (ETG) that has been dynamically modelled in detail. We use orbit-based, axisymmetric Schwarzschild models to analyse the stellar kinematics of Holm 15A from new high-resolution, wide-field spectral observations obtained with MUSE at the VLT. We find a supermassive black hole (SMBH) with a mass of (4.0 +- 0.80) x 10^10 solar masses at the center of Holm 15A. This is the most massive black hole with a direct dynamical detection in the local universe. We find that the distribution of stellar orbits is increasingly biased towards tangential motions inside the core. However, the tangential bias is less than in other cored elliptical galaxies. We compare Holm 15A with N-body simulations of mergers between galaxies with black holes and find that the observed amount of tangential anisotropy and the shape of the light profile are consistent with a formation scenario where Holm 15A is the remnant of a merger between two ETGs with pre-existing depleted cores. We find that black hole masses in cored galaxies, including Holm 15A, scale inversely with the central stellar surface brightness and mass density, respectively. These correlation are independent of a specific parameterization of the light profile.

description: The newly measurement of production fractions of $P_c$ states by LHCb collaboration have put restriction on their branching ratios of $J/ψp$ decay, thus constraining their photoproduction in $γp\to J/ψp$ reaction. We show the tension between LHCb results and the current experiments in search of $P_c$ photoproduction. We also find that the present information of branching ratios of $P_c\to J/ψp$ has already confronted sharply with the models which study the nature of $P_c$.

Carburisation and its effect on the oxidation characteristics of 9Cr–1Mo steel

Publisher: name: Loughborough University
Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: 91299 Materials Engineering not elsewhere classified
subject: FOS: Materials engineering

description: During operation within an Advance Gas Cooled Reactor (AGR) 9Cr-1Mo steel is subjected to high temperature CO2 rich gas. This leads to complex interactions taking place between the CO2 and the steel. The steel is subjected to simultaneous carburisation and oxidation changing both the chemistry and the physical properties of the steel. Experimental samples were exposed on behalf of EDF Energy to better understand the processes taking place and to better understand the factors which affect time to breakaway oxidation taking place.A range of microscopy techniques have been used to study experimental samples exposed to samples aged using accelerated exposure conditions including Scanning Electron Microscopy SEM), Focused Ion Beam Microscopy (FIB) and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) to better understand the corrosion processes taking place under these conditions.Carburisation of the substrate takes place with carbides forming preferentially along grain boundaries or martensitic laths depending on substrate microstate. These carbides increase in complexity with exposure time with the carbide distribution favouring higher C containing carbides at later exposures (M7C3 vs M23C6). The increase in carbide volume throughout the spinel is associated with the internal oxidation characteristics of the steel, the porosity of the oxide scale and is linked with breakaway oxidation. Some of these substrate carbides have been shown to resist oxidation at the main oxidation front through the growth of a Cr rich shell, this allows the carbide to remain within the spinel for potentially thousands of hours. The porosity across the oxide scale changes with exposure time, and a mechanism of porosity development has been linked with the substrate carbide distribution and frequency.The oxidation behaviour of the steel has been shown to be dependent on both microstructure and carbide distribution, with both the internal oxidation zone and spinel oxide showing evidence of the prior microstructure and carbide distribution. Breakaway samples have been shown to have a thinner internally oxidised regions relative to the pre-breakaway samples.Predictions for time to breakaway have been made based off the growth rate of the IOZ across the fin tips and extrapolated to lower temperatures using the Arrhenius Equation and activation energy calculated from the fin tips. These predictions take the geometry of the fins into account, important as breakaway is always observed to initiate at the fin tips and not the main body.
The Highest Energy Emission Detected by EGRET from Blazars

description: Published EGRET spectra from blazars extend only to 10 GeV, yet EGRET has detected approximately 2000 gamma-rays above 10 GeV of which about half are at high Galactic latitude. We report a search of these high-energy gamma-rays for associations with the EGRET and TeV detected blazars. Because the point spread function of EGRET improves with energy, only ~2 gamma-rays are expected to be positionally coincident with the 80 blazars searched, yet 23 gamma-rays were observed. This collection of > 10 GeV sources should be of particular interest due to the improved sensitivity and lower energy thresholds of ground-based TeV observatories. One of the blazars, RGB0509+056, has the highest energy gamma-rays detected by EGRET from any blazar with 2 > 40 GeV, and is a BL Lac type blazar with unknown redshift.

title: Bullying and Peer Victimisation from a Social Cognitive Perspective: Development and Evaluation of the Cool Schools Program
Creators: name: Marsh, Kerry A
Publisher: name: Griffith University
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: Bullying at school
subject: Cool Schools program
subject: Peer victimisation

description: There were two primary areas of focus for this thesis. The first was to identify what changes had occurred in bullying behaviour in Australian secondary schools compared to findings of those of the previous decade. Evaluating this involved a cross sectional study of 618 students from Year 8 through to Year 12. The main findings were in line with previous research in that boys were still more likely to report being bullied, although group bullying had increased for boys. Younger students were more likely than older students to report bullying. There was a meaningful increase in the percentage of students feeling unsafe at school from bullying. Male and female students were equally as likely to be a participant in group bullying. However, the reasons for bullying differed across year levels. The second component of this thesis was to develop and evaluate an intervention program based on a theoretical premise involving social cognitive theory. This intervention involved 958 students from five Queensland secondary schools who participated in a 10-week program. The Cool Schools Peer Relationships Program was found to help reduce bullying behaviour through increased resiliency, relational skills building and improved mental health outcomes in those students who participated. Moreover, outcomes were greater for students with a lower initial capacity for resiliency against bullying. The implementation of a program such as the Cool Schools Peer Relationships program allows for increased awareness and support, a reduction in bully type behaviours and a greater sense of safety in the school community. Due to the context of this study there were limitations to the research. Traditionally, school settings present many challenges when conducting field research, and this was complicated by two influential events that occurred during the data collection period. The cross-sectional data were collected less than one-month after the terrorist attacks on the United States in 2001 and the secondary school that comprised the control group for the intervention study was subjected to several arson attacks.

description: Counter-propagating co-axial Laguerre-Gaussian (LG) beams are considered, not in the familiar scenario where the focal planes coincide at $z=0$, but when they are separated by a finite axial distance $d$. The simplest case is where both beams are doughnut beams which have the same linear polarisation. The total fields of this system are shown to display novel amplitude and phase distributions and are shown to give rise to a ring or a finite ring lattice composed of double rings and single central ring. When the beams have slightly different frequencies the ring lattice pattern becomes a finite set of rotating Ferris wheels and the whole pattern also moves axially between the focal planes. We show that the field of such an axially shifted pair of counter-propagating LG beams generate trapping potentials due to the dipole force which can trap two-level atoms in the components of the ring lattice. We also highlight a unique feature of this system which involves the creation of a new longitudinal optical atom trapping potential due to the scattering force which arises solely when $d \ne 0$. The results are illustrated using realistic parameters which also confirm the importance of the Gouy and curvature effects in determining the ring separation both radially and axially and gives rise to the possibility of atom tunnelling between components of the double rings.

description: (Abbreviated) We have used precise radial velocity measurements of subdwarf-B stars from the Palomar-Green catalogue to look for binary extreme horizontal branch (EHB) stars. We identify 36 EHB stars in our sample and find that at least 21 of these stars are binaries. All but one or two of these are new identifications. The minimum binary fraction for EHB stars implied by our survey is 60+-8%. Our survey is sensitive to binaries with orbital periods P less than about 10d. For reasonable assumptions concerning the period distribution and the mass ratio distribution of the binaries, we find that the mean detection efficiency of our survey over this range of orbital periods is 87%. Allowing for this estimated detection efficiency, the fraction of EHB stars which are short-period binaries ($0.03 < P <10d, approximately) is 69+-9%. The value is not strongly dependent on the period distribution below P=10d or the mean companion mass for these short-period binaries. The orbital separation of the stars in these binaries is much less than the size of the red giant from which the EHB star has formed. This is strong evidence that binary star evolution is fundamental to the formation of the majority of EHB stars. If there are also binary EHB stars whose orbital periods are more than about 10d, the fraction of EHB stars whose evolution has been affected by the presence of a companion may be much higher.

description: Lexicon-free speech recognition naturally deals with the problem of out-of-vocabulary (OOV) words. In this paper, we show that character-based language models (LM) can perform as well as word-based LMs for speech recognition, in word error rates (WER), even without restricting the decoding to a lexicon. We study character-based LMs and show that convolutional LMs can effectively leverage large (character) contexts, which is key for good speech recognition performance downstream. We specifically show that the lexicon-free decoding performance (WER) on utterances with OOV words using character-based LMs is better than lexicon-based decoding, both with character or word-based LMs.

description: Line intensity mapping (LIM) is a promising approach to study star formation and the interstellar medium (ISM) in galaxies by measuring the aggregate line emission from the entire galaxy population. In this work, we develop a simple yet physically-motivated framework for modeling the line emission as would be observed in LIM experiments, which is done by building on analytic models of the Cosmic Infrared Background that connect total infrared luminosity of galaxies to their host dark matter halos. We present models of the HI 21cm, CO(1-0), [C II] 158$μ$m, and [N II] 122 and 205$μ$m lines consistent with current observational constraints. With four case studies of various combinations of these lines that probe different ISM phases, we demonstrate the potential for reliably extracting physical properties of the ISM, and the evolution of these properties with cosmic time, from auto and cross-correlation analysis of these lines as measured by future LIM experiments.

description: Background: Scapholunate interosseous ligament (SLIL) tears are a common wrist injury in young and active patients with suboptimal outcomes after surgical repair. While bone-ligament-bone (BLB) constructs have been successfully developed in orthopaedics for the replacement of damaged anterior cruciate ligaments (ACL), this has not been applied for the reconstruction of small joints. This novel approach could potentially be superior to equivalent autografts due to factors including: (1) Replication of the patient's SLIL external morphology allowing for identical matching of construct to existing joint architecture (2) Maintenance of equivalent biomechanical properties as the native SLIL (3) Incorporation of biochemical cues to promote vascularisation and tissue regeneration thereby minimising overall healing time and (4) Elimination of donor morbidity when harvesting autografts. Study Aim: The overarching aim of this thesis is to produce an artificial construct with a BLB interface for subsequent implantation into small joints. To this end, additive manufacturing was utilised to create a novel composite bioscaffold suitable for dorsal SLIL replacement in the wrist. [...]

description: We numerically investigate nucleation processes in the transient dynamics of the two-dimensional complex Ginzburg-Landau equation towards its "frozen" state with quasi-stationary spiral structures. We study the transition kinetics from either the defect turbulence regime or random initial configurations to the frozen state with a well-defined low density of quasi-stationary topological defects. Nucleation events of spiral structures are monitored using the characteristic length between the emerging shock fronts. We study two distinct situations, namely either when the system is quenched far away from the transition limit or near it. In the former deeply quenched case, the average nucleation time for different system sizes is measured over many independent realizations. We employ an extrapolation method as well as a phenomenological formula to account for and eliminate finite-size effects. The non-zero (dimensionless) barrier for the nucleation of single spiral droplets in the extrapolated infinite system size limit suggests that the transition to the frozen state is discontinuous. We also investigate the nucleation of spirals for systems that are quenched close to but beyond the crossover limit, and of target waves which emerge if a specific spatial inhomogeneity is introduced. In either of these cases, we observe long, "fat" tails in the distribution of nucleation times, which also supports a discontinuous transition scenario.

Using a linear magnetohydrodynamic stability analysis, we show that long-wavelength modes are primarily destabilized by the entropy gradient and that such `convective' modes transport angular momentum inwards. Moreover, the stability criteria for the convective modes are the standard Hoiland criteria of hydrodynamics. By contrast, shorter wavelength modes are primarily destabilized by magnetic tension and differential rotation. These `MRI' modes transport angular momentum outwards. The convection-dominated accretion flow (CDAF) model, which has been proposed for radiatively inefficient accretion onto a black hole, posits that inward angular momentum transport and outward energy transport by long-wavelength convective fluctuations are crucial for determining the structure of the accretion flow. Our analysis suggests that the CDAF model is applicable to a magnetohydrodynamic accretion flow provided the magnetic field saturates at a sufficiently sub-equipartition value (plasma beta >> 1), so that long-wavelength convective fluctuations can fit inside the accretion disk. Numerical magnetohydrodynamic simulations are required to determine whether such a sub-equipartition field is in fact obtained.

title: Factors Influencing the Conservation Status Of the Glossy Black-Cockatoo (Calyptorhynchus Lathami Lathami) on the Gold Coast, Queensland

description: Calyptorhynchus lathami, the Glossy-black Cockatoo, is a highly specialized monophagous bird feeding only on the cones of Allocasuarina species. Studies elsewhere have shown that C. lathami are restricted by a tight energy budget, forcing them to select high quality food sources, thereby minimizing effort and time in feeding, and resulting in the birds feeding in some trees and ignoring other apparently suitable trees. This specialized feeding habit, in conjunction with recent and ongoing habitat loss, is expected to cause a decline in their population in many localities. This study examined the abundance and distribution of C. l. lathami on the Gold Coast, Queensland. The feeding status and stability of feed trees was examined, comparing between feed and non-feed trees within a site, and between sites, determining why some trees and sites are fed upon, whilst others are ignored. The results indicate that many areas containing Allocasuarinas had little to no current potential as a food source due to low cone production. Ultimately, it was found that many birds were feeding in few suitable sites, with most sites being unsuitable. Where trees with adequate cones crops were observed, it was found that C. lathami would feed in the areas with abundant cones. Within these areas, the birds were feeding on trees with large cone crops. This study also used the number of chewings (pieces of cones: C. lathami feeding residue) to estimate bird abundance. The population size was calculated using the quantity and age of C. lathami feeding in the study area, and their daily food requirements. It was calculated that between 250 and 690 C. lathami were been feeding on the Gold Coast. On-going habitat loss on the Gold Coast may suggests that this population is not stable.

description: We study propagation of closed bosonic strings in torsional Newton-Cartan geometry based on a recently proposed Polyakov type action derived by dimensional reduction of the ordinary bosonic string along a null direction. We generalize the Polyakov action proposal to include matter, i.e. the 2-form and the 1-form that originates from the Kalb-Ramond field and the dilaton. We determine the conditions for Weyl invariance which we express as the beta-function equations on the worldsheet, in analogy with the usual case of strings propagating on a pseudo-Riemannian manifold. The critical dimension of the TNC space-time turns out to be 25. We find that Newton's law of gravitation follows from the requirement of quantum Weyl invariance in the absence of torsion. Presence of the 1-form requires torsion to be non vanishing. Torsion has interesting consequences, in particular it yields a mass term and an advection term in the generalized Newton's law. U(1) mass invariance of the theory is an important ingredient in deriving the beta functions.

description: A small dielectric object with positive permittivity may resonate when the free-space wavelength is large in comparison with the object dimensions if the permittivity is sufficiently high. We show that these resonances are described by the magnetoquasistatic approximation of the Maxwell's equations in which the normal component of the displacement current density field vanishes on the surface of the particle. They are associated to values of permittivities and frequencies for which source-free quasistatic magnetic fields exist, which are connected to the eigenvalues of a magnetostatic integral operator. We present the general physical properties of magnetoquasistatic resonances in dielectrics with arbitrary shape. They arise from the interplay between the polarization energy stored in the dielectric and the energy stored in the magnetic field. Our findings improve the understanding of resonances in high-permittivity dielectric objects and provide a powerful tool that greatly simplifies the analysis and design of high index resonators.

description: We present a radiative transfer model, which is applicable to the study of submillimetre spectral line observations of protostellar envelopes. The model uses an exact, non-LTE, spherically symmetric radiative transfer `Stenholm' method, which numerically solves the radiative transfer problem by the process of `Lambda-iteration'. We also present submillimetre spectral line data of the Class 0 protostars NGC1333-IRAS2 and Serpens SMM4. We examine the physical constraints which can be used to limit the number and range of parameters used in protostellar envelope models, and identify the turbulent velocity and tracer molecule abundance as the principle sources of uncertainty in the radiative transfer modelling. We explore the trends in the appearance of the predicted line profiles as key parameters in the models are varied. We find that the separation of the two peaks of a typical infall profile is dependent not on the evolutionary status of the collapsing protostar, but on the turbulent velocity dispersion in the envelope. We also find that the line shapes can be significantly altered by rotation. Fits are found for the observed line profiles of IRAS2 and SMM4 using plausible infall model parameters. The density and velocity profiles in our best fit models are inconsistent with a singular isothermal sphere model. We find better agreement with a form of collapse which assumes non-static initial conditions. We also find some evidence that the infall velocities are retarded from free-fall towards the centre of the cloud, probably by rotation, and that the envelope of SMM4 is rotationally flattened.

title: Exploring the interactions between Vinculin and vinculin-binding site containing proteins
Creators: name: Paige, Thomas Joshua
Publisher: name: University of Kent

description: Focal adhesion complexes are mechanosensitive adhesion complexes that regulate keycellular processes such as cell migration and cell survival. These complexes connectthe extracellular matrix (ECM) to the Actin network through a matrix-Integrin-TalinVinculin-Actin complex. Vinculin is a linker protein that through its N-terminal headdomain (VD1) binds to cryptic vinculin binding sites (VBS) in talin, while its tail domainbinds to actin linking the actin network to the ECM. This study investigates keyinteractions between vinculin and VBS containing proteins. Proteins such as thechlamydial virulence factor TarP which hijacks vinculin to aid in bacterial internalisation,the Talin helix 50 VBS which seems unique in its ability to accommodate VD1 mutationsthat disrupt binding and lastly α-Catulin a vinculin homologue which could shareinteractions with any known vinculin binding proteins.We identified that the C.caviae Tarp VBS3 showed increased affinity for VD1 comparedto the VBS1 and Pulldown assays showed that TarP may bind VD1 in a 1:3 ratio. Wepropose that TarP binding VD1 in a 1:3 ratio alongside the differences in affinitybetween its VBS indicate the possibility of infection stage specificity between VBSs.Talin H50 appears to accommodate VD1 mutants due to of lack polar/ionic bonds,alongside smaller side chained amino acids in the interface when compared to otherVBS.Lastly, α-catulin shows conserved secondary structure with vinculin, as well as apotential interaction between α-catulin and the adhesion protein Paxillin. Indicating thatα-catulin like vinculin may bind paxillin and be recruited to focal adhesion complexes.

description: We report on a discovery of unexpected activities in two X-ray bright dwarf novae. GZ Cnc showed an anomalous clustering of outbursts in 2002, in contrast to a low outburst frequency in the past record. The activity resembles an increased activity seen in some intermediate polars or candidates. We identified NSV 10934, X-ray selected high-amplitude variable star, as a dwarf nova with unusually rapid decline. The outburst characteristics make NSV 10934 a twin of recently discovered intermediate polar (HT Cam) with dwarf nova-type outbursts. We propose that these activities in X-ray strong dwarf novae may be a previously overlooked manifestation of outburst activities in magnetic cataclysmic variables.

Subjects: subject: Blood-Injection-Injury (BII) phobia

description: Blood-Injection-Injury (BII) phobia is a complex and debilitating condition that is associated with excessive fear and avoidance of seeing blood or injuries, receiving injections or invasive medical procedures (American Psychiatric Association (APA), 2013). It effects 3 to 4% of adults and 0.8 to 1% of children and adolescents, and can lead to serious health consequences as sufferers may avoid seeking assistance from health professionals or receiving medical treatments for diagnosed illnesses (Depla, ten Have, van Balkom, & Graaf, 2008; Essau, Conradt, & Petermann, 2000; Öst & Hellström, 1997). BII phobia has largely been neglected in the child and adolescent literature. To date the majority of the research relating to this disorder has been conducted with adults. From the adult literature it is evident that BII phobia has a complex clinical presentation that is characterised by a unique physiological (e.g., fainting) and emotional (e.g., disgust) response. Behavioural and cognitive behavioural therapies (CBT) have received the strongest empirical support for the treatment of adult BII phobia. The efficacy of CBT approaches with children and adolescents however is less clear, as these youth have been excluded from a number of the large randomised controlled trials (RCT) for childhood specific phobia (Ollendick et al., 2015; Ollendick et al., 2009), owing to their unique physiological response (e.g., fainting), difficulties associated with the delivery of treatment (e.g., the involvement of medical professionals) and their arguably poorer treatment response (Öst, Svensson, Hellstrom, & Lindwall, 2001).

description: We performed an observational program with the X-ray satellite BeppoSAX to study objects with extreme synchrotron peak frequencies (nu_peak > 1 keV). Of the seven sources observed, four showed peak frequencies in the range 1-5 keV, while one (1ES 1426+428) displayed a flat power law spectrum (alpha= 0.92), locating its synchrotron peak at or above 100 keV. This is the third source of this type ever found, after Mkn 501 and 1ES 2344+514. Our data confirm the large nu_peak variability of this class of sources, compared with lower peaked objects. The high synchrotron peak energies, flagging the presence of high energy electrons, make the extreme BL Lacs also good candidates for TeV emission, and therefore good probes for the IR background.

description: This thesis represents a critical examination of the intellectual property protection over biogenetic resources in Sri Lanka. While Sri Lanka is obliged to comply with international obligations, consideration needs to be given to the maintenance of a sustainable agricultural framework. The extension of intellectual property rights to agriculture is a significant issue that confronts Sri Lanka. The challenge for Sri Lanka is to ensure that these rights are implemented in the domestic context in an appropriate manner.
