description: Background: Bubble continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) has been shown to be effective in supporting breathing in newborns with respiratory distress. The factors that influence implementation in resource-constrained settings remain unclear. The objective of this review is to evaluate the barriers and facilitators of CPAP implementation for newborn care at sub-Saharan African health facilities and how different facility levels and types of bubble CPAP systems may impact utilization. Methods: A systematic search (database inception to July 2019) was performed on MEDLINE Ovid, EMBASE, CINAHL, The Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL, The Cochrane Library), the WHO Regional Database for Africa, African Index Medicus (AIM), African Journals Online, grey literature and the references of relevant articles. Studies that met the inclusion criteria (primary research, bubble CPAP implementation with neonates ≤ 28 days old at a health facility in sub-Saharan Africa) were included in the review and assessed with National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) quality assessment tools. The review protocol was published to PROSPERO (CRD42018116082). Results: Seventeen studies were included in the review. Reliable availability of equipment, effectively informing and engaging caregivers and staffing shortages were frequently mentioned barriers to the implementation of bubble CPAP. Understaffed neonatal units and high turnover of nurses and doctors compromised effective training. Provider-to-provider clinical mentorship models as well as affordability and cost-effectiveness of innovative bubble CPAP systems were identified as frequently mentioned facilitators of implementation. Conclusions: With a strong recommendation by the World Health Organization for its use with premature infants with respiratory distress, it is important to understand the barriers and facilitators that can inform the implementation of bubble CPAP. More research is needed into health system factors that can support or impede the use of this potentially promising intervention.

description: Using the International Violence Against Women Survey (IVAWS), this paper identifies factors contributing to women’s individual risk of being victimized by their current intimate partner. Additionally, this analysis examines the overlap of physical and sexual violence within intimate relationships. Past research into IPV has identified a numerous predictor variables. Adapting nine such variables (controlling behaviours, male heavy drinking, female only income, female past marriage, female past IPV, respondents’ age, relationship duration, relationship status and violence outside the home) to the IVAWS dataset, a framework identifying risk patterns for physical and sexual violence was developed. The results identify a number of variables that performed as expected and increased a women’s risk of being a victim of IPV; however, some variables decreased women’s risk and therefore acted as protective factors. These findings suggest that IPV at the country level is more complex and requires additional research to fully explain the variation observed.

Cardiovascular Effects and Pattern of Use of Antineoplastic Therapies in Female Breast Cancer Patients

description: Cancer survivors are at greater risk of cardiovascular diseases in comparison to the general population. Cardiovascular disorders are among the most prominent comorbidities in breast cancer patients. In order to gain a better understanding of the prescribing practices and cardiovascular risks associated with oncology drugs, this thesis encompasses a detailed review of the molecular and physiological mechanisms leading to drug‐induced cardiotoxicity and an evaluation of the cardiovascular risks associated with cancer drug therapies. Using a nested case‐control design, we evaluated whether these cancer drugs were associated with adverse cardiovascular outcomes under real‐world conditions of use. Although only few oncology drugs are indicated for breast cancer treatment, we were interested in prescribing practices and whether breast cancer treatments are restricted to labelled indications. The characterization of prescribing practices provides insights on the range of antineoplastic agents that should be considered in the evaluation of treatmentrelated adverse reactions such as cardiotoxicity. We found that selective estrogen receptor modulators demonstrated a better safety profile than aromatase inhibitors based on their mechanism of action on the cardiovascular system. These observations were corroborated by our findings from logistic regression analyses where aromatase inhibitors were associated with a higher risk of heart failure in a heterogeneous population of breast cancer patients. We reported that off‐label prescribing is common strategy in breast cancer treatment. While this practice tends to be associated with specific socio‐demographic and disease characteristics, the majority of off-label encounters are evidence‐based decisions. Because these off‐label treatments have their own inherent safety profiles, a comprehensive approach, covering all antineoplastic agents administered should be adopted in the evaluation of breast cancer treatment-induced cardiotoxicity. Careful monitoring of patients is crucial for the early detection of warning signs of cardiotoxicity to prevent long‐term deleterious effects. The information contained in this thesis provides useful considerations for the prospective surveillance of cancer drug‐induced cardiac events. These findings point to the need for a multi‐disciplinary approach to facilitate the rapid diagnosis and treatment of cardiac complications secondary to cancer therapy and to ensure that treatment decisions will maximize tumor response while minimizing adverse outcomes.

description: Through his work in ludics and Geometry of Interaction, Jean-Yves Girard invites us to a change of paradigm in the study of logic: the quest for a transcendental syntax, some kind of idealized language that emerges from the rules of logic. Amongst these rules, "testing" plays a leading role in defining a duality for the interpretation of negation. The present work focuses on a notion of polarity which is a central technique used throughout Girard's work to express linear negation. We describe some properties and illustrate them with examples with the purpose of getting acquainted with the technique. We also highlight how the classical connectives (conjunction and disjunction) arise from an interpretation based on testing. In a sense, this work is intended to provide an alternative introduction to Girard's ideas and we hope it can have some pedagogical value.
Thermal modification of 55% aluminium-zinc-silicon coatings

description: This PhD work was a collaborative project between Swinburne University, BlueScope Steel and CAST CRC. The main aim of the project work was to investigate the possibility of refining thin aluminum-zinc-silicon coatings by a method called rapid thermal processing. The results showed that ultra-refined coatings can be obtained by processing using high power lasers. It is expected that these refined coatings will improve corrosion resistance of coated steel sheets. The results obtained from this project can be used as a guide for thermal modification of thin coatings on thin steel substrates.

Worlds apart

description: The leaders of Australia and Germany responded differently to recent terrorist attacks. Klaus Neumann looks at why. A new government's first initiatives may not be what it is eventually remembered for. But they set the tone for what is to come. Having won a majority of seats by the narrowest of margins in the election of 2 July, Malcolm Turnbull's government didn't immediately pursue the Australian Building and Construction Commission reforms, which had provided the trigger for the double dissolution election. Nor did it immediately set about prosecuting a detailed economic plan, although the slogan 'jobs and growth' had dominated the Coalition's election campaign.

description: Le but de cette thèse fut de comprendre l’apprentissage de formateurs d’entraîneurs et d’entraîneurs dans le Programme national de certification des entraîneurs. Deux études furent réalisées. La première porte sur l’apprentissage de cinq formateurs au moment d’être formé et en présentant des ateliers à des entraîneurs. La deuxième examine l’apprentissage de onze entraîneurs dans des ateliers. Les données furent collectées à partir de séances d’observation non participante et d’entretiens semi-structurés multiples. Elles furent analysées à partir de la théorie de l’apprentissage humain (Jarvis, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009) et la théorie de Moon (2001) sur l’apprentissage dans les ateliers de courte durée. Les résultats révélèrent qu’apprendre peut être un processus cognitif, émotif et/ou pratique. Les formateurs apprirent autant en présentant les ateliers à des entraîneurs qu’au moment d’être formé. Les entraîneurs validèrent leur pratique, la modifièrent ou éprouvèrent de l’inconfort à la modifier. Des suggestions furent proposées aux responsables du programme.

description: Background: Population health interventions (PHIs) have the potential to improve the health of large populations by systematically addressing underlying conditions of poor health outcomes (i.e., social determinants of health) and reducing health inequities. Scaling-up may be one means of enhancing the impact of effective PHIs. However, not all scale-up attempts have been successful. In an attempt to help guide the process of successful scale-up of a PHI, we look to the organizational readiness for change theory for a new perspective on how we may better understand the scale-up pathway. Using the change theory, our goal was to develop the foundations of an evidence-based, theory-informed framework for a PHI, through a critical examination of various PHI scale-up experiences documented in the literature. Methods: We conducted a multi-step, critical interpretive synthesis (CIS) to gather and examine insights from scale-up experiences detailed in peer-reviewed and grey literatures, with a focus on PHIs from a variety of global settings. The CIS included iterative cycles of systematic searching, sampling, data extraction, critiquing, interpreting, coding, reflecting, and synthesizing. Theories relevant to innovations, complexity, and organizational readiness guided our analysis and synthesis. Results: We retained and examined twenty different PHI scale-up experiences, which were extracted from 77 documents (47 peer-reviewed, 30 grey literature) published between 1995 and 2013. Overall, we identified three phases (i.e., Groundwork, Implementing Scale-up, and Sustaining Scale-up), 11 actions, and four key components (i.e., PHI, context, capacity, stakeholders) pertinent to the scale-up process. Our guiding theories provided explanatory power to various aspects of the scale-up process and to scale-up success, and an alternative perspective to the assessment of scale-up readiness for a PHI. Conclusion: Our synthesis provided the foundations of the Scale-up Readiness Assessment Framework. Our theoretically-informed and rigorous synthesis methodology permitted identification of disparate processes involved in the successful scale-up of a PHI. Our findings complement the guidance and resources currently available, and offer an added perspective to assessing scale-up readiness for a PHI.

description: The distribution of real-time GIS (Geographic Information System) data among users is now more important than ever as it becomes increasingly affordable and important for scientific and government agencies to monitor environmental phenomena in real-time. A growing number of sensor networks are being deployed all over the world, but there is a lack of solutions for their effective monitoring. Increasingly, GIS users need access to real-time sensor data from a variety of sources, and the data must be represented in a visually-pleasing way and be easily accessible. In addition, users need to be able to collaborate with each other to share and discuss specific sensor data. The real-time acquisition, analysis, and sharing of sensor data from a large variety of heterogeneous sensor sources is currently difficult due to the lack of a standard architecture to properly represent the dynamic properties of the data and make it readily accessible for collaboration between users. This thesis will present a JEE-based publisher/subscriber architecture that allows real-time sensor data to be displayed collaboratively on the web, requiring users to have nothing more than a web browser and Internet connectivity to gain access to that data. The proposed architecture is evaluated by showing how an AJAX-based and a Flash-based web application are able to represent the real-time sensor data within novel collaborative environments. By using the latest web-based technology and relevant open standards, this thesis shows how map data and GIS data can be made more accessible, more collaborative and generally more useful.

description: To improve the noise situation in Europe, the EU issued the Environmental Noise Directive (2002/49/EC) in 2002. It was transposed into German law in 2005. The aim is to reduce environmental noise and prevent an increase in noise in previously quiet areas. To this end, noise pollution is to be recorded in noise maps by means of uniform assessment methods for noise indices in Europe and then reduced by means of concrete measures. In recent years, the EU has developed these methods under the acronym CNOSSOS-EU (Common Noise Assessment Methods in Europe) with the participation of the Member States. These calculation methods were introduced by an amendment to Annex II of the EU Environmental Noise Directive 2015 as Directive (EU) 2015/996 [1] for subsequent national implementation ([2] to [6]) and are to be applied by all Member States as of 1 January 2019. In this documentation, the methods for the determination of sound emissions, the calculation of sound propagation and the assessment of noise exposure are applied to exemplary scenarios. A distinction is made between noise from sources close to the ground (road, rail, industry) and sources from air traffic (aircraft noise). In accordance with the calculation regulations [2] to [6], model calculations (creating scenarios and test cases) are documented in detail. This way, a quality assurance of noise calculations in accordance with DIN 45687 [11] is made possible and a uniform and comprehensible application of the methods is ensured throughout Germany.

description: Global populations in towns and cities are continuing to rise resulting in the urbanisation of greenfield sites. Urbanisation converts permeable rural land into land for urban and industrial areas and increases the area of impermeable surfaces such as roofs, roads, driveways and pavements. An increase in impervious surfaces can impose dramatic changes to a catchment by altering the natural drainage characteristics. Impervious surfaces effectively seals off much of the underlying soil and prevents the infiltration of water, oxygen and nutrients to the soil below. Street trees are an integral part of everyday life. The role of street trees has adapted from one of ornamentation to service provision. Street trees provide a vast range of benefits in residential and community areas and support healthy communities by providing environmental, social and economic benefits. However, street trees often suffer in urban environments as a result of increased impervious surface areas and lack of available growing space. The installation and survival of urban trees is often challenging and urban designers must consider critical issues in their landscape design including space availability, ground conditions and maintenance requirements. The water, oxygen and nutrients essential for tree growth are often in short supply in urban soils due to the impervious surfaces, such as conventional asphalt, impervious blocks or concrete paving sealing off the soil surface. These undesirable site conditions for tree growth often lead to shorter life spans of urban trees compared to those in natural environments.

description: This research considers the place of media in society by means of a Foucaudian genealogy of welfare and neo-liberal discourse surrounding youth misconduct in two Toronto newspapers. It was found that the overall “mode of talking” about youth misconduct has shifted from welfare to neo-liberal discourse, and that resistance or critical thought surrounding current neo-liberal discourse emerges in The Globe and Mail. I explore the role of newspapers in the process of governance by analyzing these discourses in terms of Foucault’s three rationalities for “the art of government” and also by analyzing the knowledge produced or titillated and the power outcomes or effects of these discourses. It is argued that newspapers can benefit governance by reflecting, validating and perhaps even rendering current neo-liberal governmentalities more efficient, by encouraging non-government groups to assist in the management of youth misconduct.

But an analysis of the one per cent users' sample tape indicates that women with advanced educational qualifications are now having families which are considerably smaller than those of women who have no post-school qualifications.

The effect of maternal exposure to ambient air pollution during pregnancy on birth outcomes in Brisbane, Australia
Creators: name: Hansen, Craig A
Publisher: name: University of the Sunshine Coast, Queensland
Year: 2007
Subjects: air pollution

description: Over the past 30 years there has been extensive research demonstrating the health effects of ambient air pollution on adults and children. More recently there has been mounting evidence suggesting that ambient air pollution during pregnancy can adversely affect fetal growth. Studies have reported associations between maternal exposure to ambient air pollution during pregnancy and an increased risk of preterm delivery, low birth weight, intrauterine growth restriction, and congenital anomalies. However, the strength of the evidence is weak and the reported effects associated with different birth outcomes and different windows of exposure are inconsistent. The overall aim of the current research was to examine whether maternal exposure to ambient air pollution during various periods of pregnancy is associated with adverse birth outcomes in Brisbane, Australia. Two distinct birth cohorts of different time periods and sizes were investigated. For comparability with previous studies, the main results presented here controlled for potential risk factors and season of birth. Only results indicating adverse birth outcomes are presented and all results are based on an inter-quartile range increase in the maternal exposure estimate.

description: The discourse on education for Aboriginal people has long been limited to a curriculum of cultural assimilation often resulting in an erosion of self-esteem and disengagement. Consequently, this research puts forth narratives of how fiddle programs in northern Manitoba work as a culturally responsive curriculum that in turn address such curricular erosions. As a research methodology, Metissage afforded me pedagogical opportunities to weave the various perspectives of community members, parents, instructors, and former students into an intricate story that attempts to represent some of their social, cultural and historical experiences within the north. Braiding stories of the historical and present impacts of fiddle playing reveals the generative possibilities of school fiddle programs in Canadian Indigenous communities. In addition to building intergenerational bridges, the stories put forth in this thesis demonstrate how the fiddle has become a contemporary instrument of social change for many communities across northern Manitoba.
Strategic higher education resource planning and analysis: school of nursing case study
Creators: name: Sharma, Raj

Year: 2024

description: This study is based on a project commissioned by the Dean of the Faculty of a post 1987 Victorian University to focus on the problems, issues and possible future strategies with respect to resource allocation and planning within the School of Nursing. The key objectives of this study are as follows: • To consider current and future external financial forces facing the School in terms of the macro environment. • To analyse the existing deployment and utilisation of human and financial resources within the School with a view to diagnosing any key problems and concerns. • To compare the resource utilisation data with other academic organisational units within the University and the Higher Education system as a whole, subject to availability of information. • To synthesise possible resource allocation and planning strategies for the future with respect to the School of Nursing. It may be possible that these suggestions may be also taken up by the Faculty and indeed the University as a whole. In this paper, the key findings of the project are analysed and their relevance to academic organisational units of the University and other higher education institutions facing similar concerns are postulated.

Reforestation and livelihoods: socioeconomic and financial outcomes of smallholder reforestation in the tropics

description: There are two billion hectares of deforested and degraded lands worldwide, which represent a risk to the health and livelihoods of 1.5 billion people in the world. In response to this, ambitious international goals have been established to rehabilitate ecosystems, increase forest cover and decrease poverty. Much of the land with reforestation potential in the tropics is under the management of smallholders. The socioeconomic context of reforestation in land under smallholder management differs substantially to those under industrial forestry. To support the design, establishment and management of smallholder reforestation interventions and systems, the main aim of this thesis is to assess the ways in which tropical reforestation and smallholder livelihoods affect each other. The three objectives are: i) to develop the theoretical basis for the thesis (Chapters 2 and 3); ii) to evaluate the potential long-term impacts of reforestation on smallholder livelihoods (Chapter 5); and iii) to evaluate whether low financial attractiveness and high risk are constraints for smallholder tropical reforestation projects, especially with native species, and to identify species that can meet both environmental and livelihood goals in the Philippines (Chapters 7, using models from Chapter 6). The Sustainable Livelihoods Framework (SLF) from the UK Department of International Development is used as the analytical basis of the thesis.
L'incompatibilità tra il paradigma fregeano e l'esternismo di Tyler Burge
Creators: name: Costa, Davide

description: The paper suggests an analysis concerning the supposed compatibility between Frege’s intuitive criterion for difference (i.e. if it is possible, for a subject S, to believe p and not believe q, then the content of p is different from the content of q) and an externalist perspective in determining the content of beliefs. Although initially endorsing the fregean criterion, Burge (1979a) claims that the individual competence is negligible for matters concerning reference: the competence of the linguistic community is what solely must be taken into account for it. But this inevitably leads to the rejection of Frege’s criterion. The discussion pursues Burge’s thought, showing how even a more sophisticated point of view, such as Burge (1982), leads to the same conclusion, nonetheless depicting Burge’s form of externalism as thoroughly problematical.

description: Researchers in software engineering proposed design method for distributed applications to construct a set of communicating system components from a global behavior. The joint behaviors of these components must precisely satisfy the specified global behavior. The next concern is to transform the constructed models of these components into executable business processes by ensuring the exchange of asynchronous messages among the generated business processes. The introduction of Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) has helped to achieve this goal. SOA provides high flexibility in composing loosely-integrated services that can be used among business domains to carry out business transactions; this composition is known as service orchestration. Moreover, SOA supports Model Driven Architecture (MDA) such that services modeled as UML Activity Diagrams (AD) can be transformed into a set of Business Execution Language (BPEL) processes. Many researchers discussed the transformation of UML AD and the Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN) into BPEL. However, they did not discuss the practical limitations that some of these transformations impose. This thesis addresses the imitations of the transformation from UML AD to BPEL processes using the IBM Rational Software Architect (RSA). We showed here that the tool is unable to create the correct BPEL artifacts from UML AD components in certain cases, for instance when the behavior includes the alternative for receiving single or concurrent messages, a weak loop, or certain choice activities. Furthermore, we provided novel solutions to the transformations in these cases in order to facilitate the transformation from UML AD to BPEL.

description: Virtual reality (VR) is a model of reality that is generated by a computing device, with which people can interact (Blade & Pagett 2014). In VR, people can be "transported" to either realistic or completely abstract environments, typically using head-mounted displays (HMDs). Early attempts at VR were out of the reach of the average consumer due to high costs and other factors, such as lag in position tracking and the amount of computing power required to render the virtual environments (Carson 2015; Parisi 2015). Consequently, public interest in VR faded and for close to two decades VR was largely confined to research labs, and high-end military and industrial applications (Perton 2016). However, current advances in the technology have made the release of new, affordable VR HMDs possible. In the past, not only were HMDs and other VR devices expensive, but they could also make users feel sick, notably with cybersickness and postural instability. However, it is not known whether these negative effects persist for users of the latest generation of VR HMDs, particularly those users who will be immersed in VR for lengthy periods of time and frequently. This PhD thesis investigates cybersickness and postural instability experienced by users when playing video games in VR over a prolonged and repeated time (two sessions of 30 minutes, a week apart). In the study, 80 participants played 30 minutes of a VR game twice and one week apart in a laboratory setting, using the HTC Vive HMD. Participants' cybersickness and postural instability were assessed at three time points during each play session: before playing the game, after playing the game, and after a 10-minute recovery time. To assess their cybersickness, participants completed the Simulator Sickness Questionnaire (Kennedy et al. 1993). To assess their postural instability, participants were asked to stand on both their legs on a Nintendo Wii Balance Board for 30 seconds under two conditions (eyes closed and head tilted up). Additionally, the study investigated whether participants' gaming experience and the genre of the game they played had an impact on their cybersickness and postural instability.
