The Physiological And Performance Consequences Of The Australian Special Forces Selection Course, Angela Uphill
The Physiological And Performance Consequences Of The Australian Special Forces Selection Course, Angela Uphill
Theses: Doctorates and Masters
Special Forces (SF) soldiers are the most elite element of military forces, who have undergone rigorous training in order to prepare them for a wide array of specialised missions. In Australia, entry into the SF is determined through the highly competitive SF Selection Course (SF-SC), which is a gruelling program involving extreme physical demands, psychological stress, and restricted access to sleep and nutrition. The stressors involved in arduous military training events such as the SF-SC can result in significant losses of fat mass and lean mass, disruption to hormonal homeostasis, and significant decreases in neuromuscular capacity, which can potentially increase …
The Commonwealth Of Amnesia: A Collection Of Erasure And Cut-Up Poems Exploring The Forgotten Histories Of Croatian And Yugoslav Peoples In Australia And An Exegesis Obliteration Creates More: Examining The Wreck Of History Through Whiteout, Blackout And Cut-Up Erasure Poetry, Natalie Damjanovich-Napoleon
Theses: Doctorates and Masters
This thesis consists of two parts, a collection of poems, “The Commonwealth of Amnesia”, and an accompanying exegesis. The collection explores the forgotten histories of Croatian and Yugoslav immigrants in Australia from 1901 to 1957 through the medium of erasure and cut-up poetry, re-arranging words found in nonfiction documents to posit that forgetting can be metaphorically and visually represented through erasure while also re-narrativising a text. Erasure poetry takes a textual document and using whiteout or blackout erases portions of a text, transforming that text into a poem; cut-up poetry rearranges the words of a document in a textual version …
Western Australian Mothers' Experiences Of Breastfeeding Support In Hospital After Birth: A Mixed Methods Study, Justine Van Der Watt
Western Australian Mothers' Experiences Of Breastfeeding Support In Hospital After Birth: A Mixed Methods Study, Justine Van Der Watt
Theses: Doctorates and Masters
Background: The benefits of breastfeeding are well established for infants, mothers and the community, with the World Health Organisation recommending that infants be exclusively breastfed up to six months of age with an achievable goal of 70% globally. Yet in Australia only 15-37% may be reaching that goal. There have also been reported benefits and desires for mothers to be supported with their breastfeeding in order to increase and prolong breastfeeding duration and exclusivity, especially early after birth. However, there is limited research or literature exploring what experiences mothers are having with breastfeeding support, especially during their hospital admissions in …
Spatial And Temporal Variation In Population Genetic Diversity In Seagrasses And The Implications For Resilience, Anna Maria Frouws
Spatial And Temporal Variation In Population Genetic Diversity In Seagrasses And The Implications For Resilience, Anna Maria Frouws
Theses: Doctorates and Masters
Seagrass ecosystems are highly productive and fulfil vital roles in the coastal environment as ecosystem engineers and keystone species. Unfortunately, anthropogenic pressures have resulted in a significant loss of seagrass habitat and associated ecosystem services. The complex and unpredictable nature of these pressures, and their increasing extent and intensity globally, makes resilience-based ecosystem management a valuable approach. Resilience-based management requires knowledge on processes enhancing ecosystem resilience and on actions supporting these processes. Genetic diversity, which is the allelic variation among individuals of a population, has been recognised as one of the pillars of resilient ecosystems. Genetic diversity within a population …
Care-Full Climate Justice Organising: Movement-Based Participatory Action Research On Noongar Boodja, Kylie A. Wrigley
Care-Full Climate Justice Organising: Movement-Based Participatory Action Research On Noongar Boodja, Kylie A. Wrigley
Theses: Doctorates and Masters
Aligned with emerging research agendas for critical (intersectional and decolonial) climate justice, this research aims to co-create place-based knowledges and actions about how communities and movements organise for climate justice. Organising for climate justice in Western Australia (WA) is particularly difficult because of the strong influence of the fossil fuel industry and the prevailing racial capitalist, colonial, and patriarchal responses to climate change in policy and mainstream climate movements. These systems of power often reproduce, for example, intersecting gender, race, and class inequalities, which marginalise communities most impacted by climate injustice. Moreover, many climate activists experience climate distress and burnout. …
Shifting Soil Fungal Communities In Response To Fire And Weed Management In Urban Banksia Woodlands, Aaron Justin Brace
Shifting Soil Fungal Communities In Response To Fire And Weed Management In Urban Banksia Woodlands, Aaron Justin Brace
Theses: Doctorates and Masters
This research aims to fill the knowledge gap in soil fungi in the Banksia woodland and emphasizes considering holistic ecosystem dynamics in invasive species management strategies. This is accomplished by surveying soil fungi under different fire regime across the Swan Coastal Plain, and within both in and ex situ herbicide application trials. This is the first such study to investigate the fungal component of the Banksia woodland so thoroughly. Chapter 2 quantified and analysed changes in soil fungal community composition and functional groups over a 50-year fire chronosequence in fire-prone Banksia woodland in southwestern Australia. Effects were variable, but fungal …
Verbal And Nonverbal Communicative Approaches Used By Reading Teachers To Foster Student Reading For Pleasure In Secondary School, Claire Patricia Smith
Verbal And Nonverbal Communicative Approaches Used By Reading Teachers To Foster Student Reading For Pleasure In Secondary School, Claire Patricia Smith
Theses: Doctorates and Masters
The benefits of reading for pleasure are diverse. As evidence supporting the value of reading for pleasure grows, so does its legitimacy as a catalyst for positive personal and cognitive development, and as a stand-alone subject in education. Reading for pleasure pedagogy (RfPP), distinct from reading instruction, is evolving in tandem with these findings. This pedagogy is predicated on the profile of a Reading Teacher (RT) as a reader who enjoys reading and is prepared to share their personal reading lives to teach their students to read for pleasure. However, this profile may be an ideal rather than the norm. …
The Experiences Of Older Immigrants Living With Dementia In Australia: A Multi-Method Secondary Analysis, Pelden Chejor
The Experiences Of Older Immigrants Living With Dementia In Australia: A Multi-Method Secondary Analysis, Pelden Chejor
Theses: Doctorates and Masters
The ageing immigrant population and rising dementia cases underscores the need for culturally appropriate dementia care services. However, accessing dementia care services can be challenging for immigrants due to cultural and linguistical differences including their health beliefs. Understanding the experiences and concerns of older immigrants living with dementia is imperative for the planning and delivery of culturally and linguistically appropriate care. The aim of this thesis was to explore and describe the experiences of older immigrants living with dementia, as well as to describe and compare (against non-immigrants living with dementia) the characteristics (neuropsychiatric symptoms and pain characteristics) of older …

This research asks about the efficacy of L-systems in accurately simulating wheat crop characteristics. It specifically focusses on readable, understandable, accurate, and complex L-system algorithms. The research examines wheat crops in terms of phenotypes and examines the accuracy of a dataset in support of real image annotation. The methodology used was experimental in nature and …
Improving Growth Models Of Cultivated Sugar Kelp, Saccharina Latissima, By Accounting For Intraspecific Variation In Thermal Tolerance, Ruby Krasnow, Sara Gonzalez, Scott Lindell
Improving Growth Models Of Cultivated Sugar Kelp, Saccharina Latissima, By Accounting For Intraspecific Variation In Thermal Tolerance, Ruby Krasnow, Sara Gonzalez, Scott Lindell
Student Publications [Scholarly]
Dynamic models of sugar kelp (Saccharina latissima) growth are used to estimate the production potential of seaweed aquaculture in many regions around the world. These models do not currently account for the existence of S. latissima ecotypes that are adapted to regional environmental conditions, particularly temperature. We tested the hypothesis that recalibrating the temperature parameters of a dynamic energy budget model using literature data for S. latissima from regions with a similar climate to the region of interest would result in more accurate predictions than using a general species-wide temperature response curve. Calibrating the model using data from warm regions …
'We' Instead Of 'Me': How Buen Vivir Indigenous Cosmopraxes Allow Us To Conceive Security Differently And Face Insecurities Together, Juliano Cortinhas, Yara Martinelli, Ricardo Barbosa
'We' Instead Of 'Me': How Buen Vivir Indigenous Cosmopraxes Allow Us To Conceive Security Differently And Face Insecurities Together, Juliano Cortinhas, Yara Martinelli, Ricardo Barbosa
Student Publications [Scholarly]
Although Critical Security Studies (CSS) has done much to advance security debates, some shortcomings remain. Its excessive focus on the individual - which we term 'me' - reduces CSS' capacity to propose solutions to current global security problems such as pandemics and climate change. This paper contributes to the emerging scholarship on the potential of relational ontologies in Security Studies by introducing Buen Vivir Indigenous cosmopraxes into the debate. Indigenous cosmopraxes such as Sumak Kawsay, Suma Qamaña, and Teko Kavi, we argue, can inform CSS by providing alternative considerations to the pluriverse of ideas that address security crises. These cosmopraxes, …
The Assessment Of Floating Offshore Wind Turbines In Extreme Conditions, Andre Onife Alwyn White
The Assessment Of Floating Offshore Wind Turbines In Extreme Conditions, Andre Onife Alwyn White
School of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics Theses
The purpose of this research is to assess if a floating offshore wind turbine (FOWT) system that is suitable for the environmental conditions in the Scottish North Sea (SNS) is also suitable for the environmental conditions in the Jamaica Caribbean Sea (JCS). A FOWT within Jamaica is an important structure because it produces renewable energy which helps to reduce the dependence on fossil fuel as the primary source of energy. At the same time, it also contributes to reducing global warming caused by climate change effects. These structures, therefore, must be robust enough to withstand the most extreme environmental conditions …
Social Connections And Social Identity As A Basis For Learning And Support: Experiences Of Medical Students With Minoritised And Non-Minoritised Ethnic Identities, Stephanie Bull, Rohini Terry, Neil Rice, Daniele Carrieri, Mark Tarrant, Gerens Curnow
Social Connections And Social Identity As A Basis For Learning And Support: Experiences Of Medical Students With Minoritised And Non-Minoritised Ethnic Identities, Stephanie Bull, Rohini Terry, Neil Rice, Daniele Carrieri, Mark Tarrant, Gerens Curnow
School of Psychology
Background: Social connections between medical students provide a key basis for learning and support. These connections, and associated social identity, may be patterned by ethnicity, and students often perform similarly academically to those they connect with. The mechanisms that underpin the formation of these connections and the role that they play are not fully understood. This study explored how medical students connect with each other, and the potential impact of this on their academic attainment and well-being, with a focus on students with minoritised ethnic identities. Methods: A mixed methods study combining (1) a survey to establish the number and …
Peer Inclusion And School Equality Norm Associations With Intergroup Contact, And Academic Self-Efficacy Amongst Ethnic Majority And Ethnic Minority Youth, Shelley Mckeown, Gian Antonio Di Bernardo, Jaysan Charlesford, Loris Vezzali, Thia Sagherian-Dickey
Peer Inclusion And School Equality Norm Associations With Intergroup Contact, And Academic Self-Efficacy Amongst Ethnic Majority And Ethnic Minority Youth, Shelley Mckeown, Gian Antonio Di Bernardo, Jaysan Charlesford, Loris Vezzali, Thia Sagherian-Dickey
School of Psychology
Social norms are important predictors of youth attitudes and behaviours. There is substantial evidence that positive and meaningful intergroup contact supported by inclusive norms can have a range of benefits beyond prejudice reduction. The present research explores whether perceived peer inclusion norms and perceived norms of equality in school are associated with better quality and more frequent intergroup contact and in turn, whether these are associated with better academic self-efficacy. To test these assertions, we conducted a cross-sectional survey with ethnic majority and ethnic minority youth aged 11–12 (n = 629, 48% female, 43% minority ethnic) attending one of four …

Background Seladelpar is a potent and selective peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-δ agonist that targets multiple cell types involved in primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), leading to anti-cholestatic, anti-inflammatory and anti-pruritic effects. Aims To evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of seladelpar in patients with PBC. Methods In an open-label, international, long-term extension study, patients with PBC completing seladelpar lead-in studies continued treatment. Seladelpar was taken orally once daily at doses of 5 or 10 mg with dose adjustment permitted for safety or tolerability. The primary analysis was for safety and the secondary efficacy analysis examined biochemical markers of cholestasis and liver injury. …
Enhancing Pitch Stability In Floating Wind Platforms: The Hydrodynamic Effects Of Thin Plates, Ignacio Pregnan Johannesen
Enhancing Pitch Stability In Floating Wind Platforms: The Hydrodynamic Effects Of Thin Plates, Ignacio Pregnan Johannesen
School of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics Theses
The Floating Offshore Wind Turbines (FOWT) technology is still at an early stage looking for ways to make it competitive. In the case of semi-submersible FOWT the large structure has been pointed as an option to tackle the final energy price and therefore, smaller/cheaper platforms are desired. However, this would have implications on the platform hydrodynamic performance. This thesis discusses the use of thin disks as pitch motion suppression surfaces for FOWT platforms, employing three methodologies; potential flow, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Experiments. With NEMOH a boundary element method code, the added mass and excitation forces/moments were calculated for …
Data Security And User Authentication In Public Cloud Computing Environments, Nelson Vasconcelos Soares Dos Santos
Data Security And User Authentication In Public Cloud Computing Environments, Nelson Vasconcelos Soares Dos Santos
School of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics Theses
Cloud computing has become a prevalent paradigm for organisations and individuals, offering a range of services and resources that enable the efficient management, processing and storage of large quantities of data. However, despite its numerous advantages, cloud computing also presents significant challenges related to data security and user authentication. The distributed nature of cloud environments, coupled with the relinquishment of control over data to cloud service providers, has raised concerns regarding data vulnerability to various types of attacks, such as data breaches, malware injection, and denial of service. Moreover, traditional password and token-based authentication methods have been shown to be …
Cheating And The Effect Of Promises In Indian And German Children, Patricia Kanngiesser, Jahnavi Sunderarajan, Jan K. Woike
Cheating And The Effect Of Promises In Indian And German Children, Patricia Kanngiesser, Jahnavi Sunderarajan, Jan K. Woike
School of Psychology
Cheating is harmful to others and society at large. Promises have been shown to increase honesty in children, but their effectiveness has not been compared between different cultural contexts. In a study (2019) with 7- to 12-year-olds (N = 406, 48% female, middle-class), voluntary promises reduced cheating in Indian, but not in German children. Children in both contexts cheated, but cheating rates were lower in Germany than in India. In both contexts, cheating decreased with age in the (no-promise) control condition and was unaffected by age in the promise condition. These findings suggest that there may exist a threshold beyond …

Facial First Impressions Following A Prison Sentence: Negative Shift In Trait Ratings But The Same Underlying Structure, Coral M. Coutts, Chris Longmore, Mila Mileva
Facial First Impressions Following A Prison Sentence: Negative Shift In Trait Ratings But The Same Underlying Structure, Coral M. Coutts, Chris Longmore, Mila Mileva
School of Psychology
The first impressions we form of unfamiliar others can often guide many important decisions such as whether someone is guilty of a crime or the severity of their sentence, even in the presence of more relevant information. While most of the current work in this context has focused on their impact during trial proceedings and sentencing, little is known about the potential impact of first impressions following a guilty sentence and the success of the subsequent reintegration into society. Here, we used a data-driven approach to address this question by first collecting unconstrained spontaneous impressions from two groups of perceivers …
Gendered Violence And Sexualized Representations In Video Games: (Lack Of) Effect On Gender-Related Attitudes, Liam Cross, Linda K. Kaye, Juris Savostijanovs, Neil Mclatchie, Matthew Johnston, Liam Whiteman, Robyn Mooney, Gray Atherton
Gendered Violence And Sexualized Representations In Video Games: (Lack Of) Effect On Gender-Related Attitudes, Liam Cross, Linda K. Kaye, Juris Savostijanovs, Neil Mclatchie, Matthew Johnston, Liam Whiteman, Robyn Mooney, Gray Atherton
School of Psychology
This research explored how gender portrayals in video games affect gender-related attitudes. Two hundred participants from the United Kingdom and Malaysia participated across three experiments, where the appearance and behaviour of video game characters were manipulated with regard to target (enemy) gender (Study 1), sexually explicit attire (Study 2) and level of character agency (Study 3). We found minimal evidence that exposure to gender-stereotyped content resulted in differential gender-related attitudes (implicit associations, hostile and benevolent sexism, or rape myth acceptance). However, Study 1 findings showed that individuals who played a first-person shooter with male enemies showed lower endorsement of some …
Reward Count(S): Negative Recency In Probabilistic Experience-Based Learning, Andy Wills, René Schlegelmilch, Bettina Von Helversen
Reward Count(S): Negative Recency In Probabilistic Experience-Based Learning, Andy Wills, René Schlegelmilch, Bettina Von Helversen
School of Psychology
Learning how to make decisions from experience is often studied using probabilistic outcome prediction or choice tasks, asin conditioning, reward learning, or risky gambles (e.g., response A provides reward in 75% of the cases, response B in25% over repeated trials with feedback). One debated phenomenon in such tasks is that of negative recency, describingthat learners expect the rare event after observing a streak ofcommon events (e.g., Gamblers fallacy). Here, we show thatthis behavior, despite instructing participants to use a visualstimulus, also occurs in probabilistic single-cue conditioningtraining, where participants predicted whether digging at a specific location on a plane (visual cue) …
Association Of Life History Strategy And Mate Retention Behavior In Men And Women, Sepide Pazhouhi, Ray Garza, Farid Pazhoohi
Association Of Life History Strategy And Mate Retention Behavior In Men And Women, Sepide Pazhouhi, Ray Garza, Farid Pazhoohi
School of Psychology
From an evolutionary perspective, both men and women use a variety of guarding tactics to keep their romantic partners in the relationship. For men, these benefits increase paternity certainty, while for women, they guarantee male investment in the woman and her children. The current research aimed to explore the association between life history strategy (LHS) and mate retention behaviors in men and women from Iran and the UK. We hypothesized that individuals with a slower life history strategy will show a positive association with benefit-provisioning mate retention (e.g., gift-giving, affection), and a negative association with cost-inflicting mate retention (e.g., emotional …

The Cost Of Providing Care By Family And Friends (Informal Care) In The Last Year Of Life: A Population Observational Study, Miriam J. Johnson, David C. Currow, Jade Chynoweth, Helen Weatherly, Gamze Keser, Ann Hutchinson, Annie Jones, Laurie Dunn, Victoria Allgar
Peninsula Medical School
Introduction: Little is known about replacement costs of care provided by informal carers during the last year of life for people dying of cancer and non-cancer diseases. Aim: To estimate informal caregiving costs and explore the relationship with carer and decedent characteristics. Design: National observational study of bereaved carers. Questions included informal end-of-life caregiving into the 2017 Health Survey for England including estimated recalled frequency, duration and intensity of care provision. We estimated replacement costs for a decedent’s last year of life valuing time at the price of a substitutable activity. Spearman rank correlations and multivariable linear regression were used …

Transformation Of Autophagic Sqstm1 Droplets To Sqstm1-Dependent P-Bodies, Evelina Valionyte, Elizabeth R. Barrow, Chris R. Baxter, Sharon Herath, Shouqing Luo
Peninsula Medical School
SQSTM1/p62 droplets play crucial roles in droplets-based macroautophagy/autophagy including selective autophagy and bulk autophagy. We observed that under several stress milieus, SQSTM1 droplets entirely colocalize with P-body markers, and these stress-induced SQSTM1 droplets contain mRNAs. We thus determined that under certain stress conditions, autophagic SQSTM1 droplets are converted to a type of enlarged P-bodies, designated SQSTM1/p62-dependent P-bodies (pd-PBs). Stress-enhanced SQSTM1 droplet formation drives the nucleation of pd-PBs through the interaction between SQSTM1 and the RNA-binding protein DDX6. Furthermore, pd-PBs sequester PYCARD, facilitating the assembly of NLRP3 inflammasomes, and in turn induce inflammation-related cytotoxicity. Our study suggests that under stress settings, …

Effect Of Skin Tone On The Accuracy Of The Estimation Of Arterial Oxygen Saturation By Pulse Oximetry: A Systematic Review, Daniel Martin, Chris Johns, Lexy Sorrell, Eugene Healy, Mandeep Phull, Segun Olusanya, Mark Peters, Jeremy Fabes
Peninsula Medical School
Background: Pulse oximetry-derived oxygen saturation (SpO2) is an estimate of true arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2). The aim of this review was to evaluate available evidence determining the effect of skin tone on the ability of pulse oximeters to accurately estimate SaO2. Methods: Published literature was screened to identify clinical and non-clinical studies enrolling adults and children when SpO2 was compared with a paired co-oximetry SaO2 value. We searched literature databases from their inception to March 20, 2023. Risk of bias (RoB) was assessed using the QUADAS-2 tool. Certainty of assessment was evaluated …

Perioperative Oxygenation—What's The Stress?, Joseph Larvin, Mark Edwards, Daniel S. Martin, Martin Feelisch, Michael P.W. Grocott, Andrew F. Cumpstey
Peninsula Medical School
Oxygen is the most used drug in anaesthesia. Despite such widespread use, optimal perioperative oxygen administration remains highly controversial because of concerns about the competing harms of both hyperoxia and hypoxia. Notwithstanding a Cochrane review concluding that routinely administering a fractional inspired oxygen concentration (FiO2) >0.6 intraoperatively might increase postoperative morbidity and mortality, the World Health Organization (WHO) currently recommends all anaesthetised patients receive 0.8 FiO2 during and immediately after surgery to reduce surgical site infections. Results from the largest trial available at the time of these two reviews (suggesting long-term survival may be worse with high …
