Encounters with Aboriginal Sites in Metropolitan Sydney: A Broadening Horizon for Cultural Tourism?

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This paper reports on a subject which has historically received little attention in tourism studies, namely, the place of Indigenous heritage in a major metropolitan centre. In Australia, a dominant discourse has promoted the perspective that 'authentic' Aboriginal culture is confined to the relatively undeveloped, under-populated, and isolated, north of the continent. Images of 'tradition oriented' Aboriginality have played a central role in the promotion of Australia as a distinctive tourist destination. The dominance of such images has served to comprehensively marginalise the Aboriginal heritage of metropolitan areas. The paper explores some of the reasons why an ahistorical 'tradition oriented' construction of Aboriginality has retained its resilience in Australia. It discusses some of the events of the past decade, which have seen new Aboriginal perspectives beginning to be incorporated into the metropolitan landscape of Sydney and considers the implications of such developments for the visitor experience and sustainable tourism.
Sequential release of transforming growth factor β1 and fibroblast growth factor 2 from nanofibrous scaffolds induces cartilage differentiation of mouse adipose-derived stem cells

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Once damaged, cartilage has poor intrinsic capacity to repair itself. Current cartilage repair strategies cannot restore the damaged tissue sufficiently. It is hypothesized that biomimetic scaffolds, which can recapitulate important properties of the cartilage extracellular matrix, play a beneficial role in supporting cell behaviors such as growth, cartilage differentiation, and integration with native cartilage, ultimately facilitating tissue recovery. Adipose-derived stem cells regenerated cartilage upon the sequential release of transforming growth factor β1(TGFβ1) and fibroblast growth factor 2(FGF2) using a nanofibrous scaffold, in order to get the recovery of functional cartilage. Experiments in vitro have demonstrated that the release sequence of growth factors FGF2 to TGFβ1 is the most essential to promote adipose-derived stem cells into chondrocytes that then synthesize collagen II. Mouse subcutaneous implantation indicated that the treatment sequence of FGF2 to TGFβ1 was able to significantly induce multiple increase in cartilage regeneration in vivo. This result demonstrates that the group treated with FGF2 to TGFβ1 released from a nanofibrous scaffold provides a good strategy for cartilage regeneration by making a favorable microenvironment for cell growth and cartilage regeneration.
SplitQuant: Layer Splitting for Low-Bit Neural Network Quantization

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Quantization for deep neural networks (DNNs) is the process of mapping the parameter values of DNNs from original data types to other data types of lower precision to reduce model sizes and make inference faster. Quantization often maps different original values to a single quantized value because the range of the original values is larger than the range of the quantized values. This leads to the degradation of the accuracy of the quantized DNNs. Outliers are a main cause of the degradation of quantization resolution because they enlarge the range of original values. To solve the problem, the percentile method is often used to clip outliers. However, clipping the outliers has another problem of removing the important and strong signals in the DNNs. This paper proposes SplitQuant to keep the outliers and improve the quantization resolution at the same time. SplitQuant narrows down the range of the original values and mitigates the effect of outliers by splitting each quantizable layer into three mathematically equivalent layers and applies different scaling factors. Especially, weights and biases are clustered into lower, middle and upper clusters for optimized split. By preprocessing DNNs with SplitQuant, quantization algorithms can achieve better results. SplitQuant was applied on two BERT-Tiny models and improved the accuracy of INT2 quantization by 3.3%p and 2.1%p, achieving accuracies comparable to those of the original FP32 models.
A regenerative microchannel device for recording multiple single‐unit action potentials in awake, ambulatory animals

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Abstract Despite significant advances in robotics, commercially advanced prosthetics provide only a small fraction of the functionality of the amputated limb that they are meant to replace. Peripheral nerve interfacing could provide a rich controlling link between the body and these advanced prosthetics in order to increase their overall utility. Here, we report on the development of a fully integrated regenerative microchannel interface with 30 microelectrodes and signal extraction capabilities enabling evaluation in an awake and ambulatory rat animal model. In vitro functional testing validated the capability of the microelectrodes to record neural signals similar in size and nature to those that occur in vivo . In vitro dorsal root ganglia cultures revealed striking cytocompatibility of the microchannel interface. Finally, in vivo , the microchannel interface was successfully used to record a multitude of single‐unit action potentials through 63% of the integrated microelectrodes at the early time point of 3 weeks. This marks a significant advance in microchannel interfacing, demonstrating the capability of microchannels to be used for peripheral nerve interfacing.
Autonomous Network of Seismic Stations of the Island of Matua

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

Abstract Currently, the majority of seismic stations installed in the Far East automatically continuously transmit data to processing centers. But none of the network’s seismic stations is autonomous in the full sense of the word. All these seismic stations are located in places where there is a power supply system and cellular communication. Some seismic stations do not transmit data due to the absence of a cellular network, and are powered by regularly replaced batteries, so they require regular visits to save data and replace batteries.
UTILISATION OF BONE ALLOGRAFT BY ORTHOPAEDIC SURGEONS IN SCOTLAND

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

The Use of bone allograft in orthopaedic Surgery has been predicted to increase particularly in joint revision surgery. This has led to a potential problem with supply. Questionnaires were distributed to all 146 Consultant orthopaedic Surgeons working in Scotland in 2000. They were asked to indicate their current usage of bone and tissue allograft, any problems encountered with supply and if alternatives to allograft such as processed bone, might be used. The questions asked were very similar to those asked in a survey by the author (GG) in 1995 to enable comparisons to be made. 74% of all bone issued by the SNBTS in 2000 –2001 was used in revision hip arthroplasy. This compares with only 66% of bone issued in 1998–1999. Replies were received from 125 consultants (87%) of whom 93 reported using bone allograft. 41 consultants (46%) predicted an increase in their requirement for bone allograft, and 23 (26%) felt they could currently use more bone if this became available. Sixty percent of Surgeons would consider using processed bone as an alternative. In comparison with figures from a previous study in 1995, an increasing number of surgeons are prepared to use processed bone as an alternative to fresh frozen allograft. As the number of revision THR’ s continues to increase the amount of bone required is likely to continue to increase. The need to increase efficiency in harvest and supply of bone is therefore great. The use of more SNBTS nurses in selection of patients and collection of bone may increase efficiency. More surgeons may have to use processed bone, which would allow more bone to be released. Also processing may help reduce transmission of infective particles such as HIV and new variant CJD. With rising public and medical concerns over these issues this seems most desirable.
Enhanced terahertz radiation directivity via a conical horn antenna from on-chip spintronic emitters

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

A circular waveguide-fed conical horn antenna is fabricated using two-photon lithography (TPL) and integrated with a spintronic terahertz radiation emitter source to provide enhanced radiation directivity. In comparison to the bare terahertz radiation source, incorporating the antenna permits a spectral density gain up to 20.5 dB. The antenna has a smaller footprint and operates at higher frequencies than other reported conical horns, thereby demonstrating the potential of two-photon lithography for the fabrication of terahertz structures for on-chip applications. The use of two-photon lithography for the fabrication of terahertz antennas is anticipated to support the development of technologies operating above 1 THz for broadband, next-generation wireless free-space communications.
Pressure-induced phase transitions in AgCl, AgBr, and AgI

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

The structural behavior of the three silver (I) halides AgCl, AgBr, and AgI has been investigated to pressures $p\ensuremath{\sim}13--16\mathrm{GPa}$ using angle-dispersive x-ray diffraction with an image-plate device. Principal attention has been paid to the structural characterization of the phase transitions in the pressure range $p\ensuremath{\sim}7--13\mathrm{GPa}$ observed previously by optical and resistivity techniques. In AgCl, the ambient-pressure rocksalt-structured phase transforms at $p=6.6(6)\mathrm{GPa}$ to a monoclinic structure with a KOH-type arrangement and then to an orthorhombic TlI-type configuration at $p=10.8(8)\mathrm{GPa}.$ Both these structures can be considered to be more densely packed arrangements derived from rocksalt and possess ionic environments intermediate between the octahedrally coordinated rocksalt structure and an eightfold coordinated CsCl-type one adopted at higher pressure. AgBr and AgI both undergo $\mathrm{rocksal}\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{t}\mathrm{KOH}$-type structural transitions, at $p=7.9(4)\mathrm{GPa}$ and $p=11.3(2)\mathrm{GPa},$ respectively. The nature of the pressure-induced $\mathrm{rocksal}\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{t}\mathrm{CsCl}$ transformation in the three Ag(I) halides is discussed in relation to the continuous rhombohedral deformation model due to Buerger and to recent theoretical predictions derived from ab initio electronic structure calculations.
Abstract TP76: Enhancing Thrombolysis Times in Acute Ischemic Stroke with Regional Dashboards: Results from the Florida Stroke Registry

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Background: Reducing the time between ischemic stroke onset and intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) is crucial for treatment effectiveness. Through a grassroots effort, the Florida Stroke Registry (FSR) developed regional dashboards (RDs) displaying reperfusion treatment metrics from hospitals participating voluntarily in local Stroke Coalitions with the goal of improving quality of acute stroke care. We sought to evaluate whether RD utilization is associated with faster IVT treatment times, as well as with improved hospitalization outcomes. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional analysis across the FSR, a statewide registry across Get With the Guidelines-Stroke participating hospitals. We included ischemic stroke cases receiving IVT from January 2016 to December 2023. Cases were categorized by whether they received IVT at hospitals actively participating in the RD initiative or not at their time of treatment. Primary study endpoints were door-to-treatment (DTT) time <20 minutes and onset-to-treatment (OTT) time <60 minutes, while secondary endpoints comprised hospitalization outcomes. Logistic regression models, adjusted for calendar year, patient characteristics, and hospital factors, were used to examine the association between RD utilization and study endpoints. Results: Ninety-two out of 172 FSR hospitals participated in Stroke Coalitions and RD by the end of the study period. The analysis included 32,320 IVT-treated cases (mean age 69 ±15 years, 48.4% female). Of these, 10,666 (33%) were treated at hospitals participating in the RD initiative. Regional Dashboards utilization was independently associated with DTT <20 minutes (12.7% vs. 7.3%; aOR=1.48, 95%CI 1.35-1.63) and OTT <60 minutes (13.9% vs. 9.0%; aOR=1.63, 95%CI 1.49-1.80), as well as increased likelihood of being discharged directly to home (aOR=1.15; 95%CI 1.07-1.23) and functional independence at discharge (aOR=1.49; 95%CI 1.39-1.59). Hospitals using RD had better thrombolysis times than non-participating hospitals from their first year in Stroke Coalitions, with further improvements after 3 to 4 years of participation (Figure). Conclusion: The FSR RD initiative applied within Stroke Coalitions was associated with faster IVT treatment times and improved hospitalization outcomes. This quality improvement initiative, adaptable to local needs, could emerge as a valuable tool for enhancing stroke systems of care.
PORTFOLIO SELECTION UNDER EXPONENTIAL AND QUADRATIC UTILITY

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

The production or marketing portfolio that is optimal under the assumption of quadratic utility may or may not be optimal under the assumption of exponential utility. In certain cases, the necessary and sufficient condition for an identical solution is that absolute risk aversion coefficients associated with the two utility functions be the same. In other cases, equality of risk aversion coefficients is a sufficient condition only. A comparison is made between use of exponential and quadratic utility in the analysis of a California farmer's marketing problem.
Antibacterial, antifungal, anti‐inflammatory evaluation, molecular docking, and density functional theory exploration of 2‐(1H‐benzimidazol‐2‐yl)guanidine mixed‐ligand complexes: Synthesis and characterization

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

The aim of the present framework is to synthesize and characterize new cobalt(II) (C1), nickel(II) (C2), and copper(II) (C3) mixed‐ligand complexes incorporating bioactive 8‐hydroxyquinoline moiety, with synthesized 2‐(1 H ‐benzimidazol‐2‐yl)guanidine (BG) ligand, for investigating their antibacterial, antifungal, and anti‐inflammatory potential. The metal complexes structure had been elucidated by the use of a wide range of methods, including elemental analysis, Fourier transform infrared (FT‐IR), mass spectra, UV–vis spectra, magnetic susceptibility, thermogravimetric (TG) analysis, and the molar ratio technique of stoichiometry analysis. The resulted metal complexes were found to have octahedral structures in molar ratio of M:BG:Qu as 1:1:2. Density functional theory (DFT) had been used to determine the optimal molecular structure and quantum chemical properties of each material. After that, we looked into the metal complexes' anti‐inflammatory and antibacterial properties by testing them in vitro. The disc diffusion test showed that the metal complexes were far more potent against bacteria/fungi than the original ligands. The egg albumin denaturation technique showed that the metal complexes were more potent anti‐inflammatory candidates than the free ligands and comparable with the standard reference. Molecular docking analysis against 5JQ9, 6CLV, and cyclooxygenase‐2 (COX‐2; 5IKT) confirmed the bioactivity behavior of the metal complexes. C3 has the greatest binding affinity among the metal complexes tested. These findings proposed that the metal complexes could form the basis of future antibiotics and anti‐inflammatory candidates. Finally, the in vitro activities were reviewed in relation to the DFT and molecular docking data.

[Specific effect of attenuated strain of Francisella tularensis on the development of radiation induced lesions in experimental animals and effictiveness of antibacterial therapy for lesions induced by radiation combined with virulemt strain of the bacteria].

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

For study of the effects of whole-body gamma-radiation (1 and 4 Gy) on the response of the body to administration of vaccines and virulent strains of tularemia 206 outbred white mice were used. The results of the study shown that the administration of attenuated bacterial cells in 5 days after exposure to radiation (1 and 4 Gy) caused more severe post-radiation effects and the increase in the number of died animals. The severity of the disease was less if mice were vaccinated in 26 days after irradiation (4 Gy). The treatment of tularemia in irradiated mice twith Riphampicin (daily peroral administration, 5 mg/mouse, duration of treatment--7 days) administered in 4 hours after infection was effective and caused high survival of affected mice. The results show effectiveness of the riphampicin treatment of tularemia in the animals exposed to sublethal dose of radiation.
Sex Offender Recidivism: Some Lessons Learned From Over 70 Years of Research

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

Sex offender recidivism (SOR) has been the subject of research for over 70 years. Myths, misconceptions, and erroneous conclusions about SOR, however, remain widespread, impeding the development of evidence-based policies aimed at preventing sexual offenses. To address the rich but uneven literature, a comprehensive review was conducted making it possible to provide a contextualized overview of scientific knowledge against the backdrop of methodological issues, challenges, and shortcomings. Over the years, researchers have been asked to provide a simple answer to a seemingly simple question: what are the recidivism rates for sexual offending? In response, the field has produced a wide range of findings making it difficult to draw firm conclusions, leaving room for interpretation and personal biases. The variations in recidivism rates are attributable to offender and methodological characteristics, both of which are embedded in a particular sociolegal context. As a result, the base rate of SOR is more effectively considered in terms of a series of questions that should include the type of recidivism, with whom, over what period, and in what context. Issues and debates that have marked the field and fueled its growth are highlighted. Research innovations and important areas of research are also discussed.
Teaching sociology to medical students

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Summary A recent change in many medical curricula has been the introduction of courses in the behavioural sciences. These courses, while introduced with the intention of emphasizing interpersonal and behavioural skills, have not been shown to lead to any of the changes towards which they are directed. Rather, there is evidence that students find these courses ‘waffly’ and boring. If the sociology component of these courses is to lead to change, then there is the need for a continuing process of evaluation and modification. In this paper we report upon one medical sociology course, its evaluation, subsequent modification and re‐evaluation. Our evidence would suggest that sociology courses can lead to changed attitudes and values, but that such changes are contingent upon the overt application of relevant sociological concepts to the health care field.

Anthropogenetic characterization of the population of Msirda based on the polymorphism of blood groups ABO, Rhesus, and Duffy MNSs across the Mediterranean

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

This study presents the results of the analysis of genetic structure of Msirda’s population in west of Algeria on the basis of the polymorphism of blood groups (ABO, Rhesus, MNSs and Duffy), considered as classical genetic markers. These genetic markers are equipped with large informative capacity of anthropogenesis in order to reconstruct the evolutionary history of human populations. Blood samples were carried out in 2007 on a sample of 250 individuals (149 men and 101 women) original of Msirda. The results reveal a genetic equilibrium for the four studied systems. Msirda presents high frequencies of the haplotype Ro (Rh*cDe) and the allele Fy*b, and a low frequency of the haplotype r (Rh*cde) compared to other Mediterranean populations. Interpopulation comparisons of the Mediterranean show a close affinity between of Msirda population and North African populations in general and Moroccan populations in particular. These results have been certified by the principal components analysis, and the developed phylogenetic tree.
