Emerging evidence suggests altered circulating metabolite levels in individuals with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and/or mild cognitive impairment (MCI) compared to healthy controls; how these metabolites alter with early cortical amyloidosis—before symptom onset—remains unclear. This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate plasma metabolites obtained through targeted profiling using the Biocrates AbsoluteIDQ® p400 HR kit. The study cohort comprises 100 cognitively unimpaired (CU) older adults, stratified into CU Aβ− (negative positron emission tomography [PET]-amyloid-beta [Aβ]) and CU Aβ+ (positive PET-Aβ) groups. Significantly altered metabolites were further analysed for associations across amyloid plaque deposition, cognitive performance and plasma tau phosphorylated at threonine 181 (P-tau181) …

The Role Of Agricultural Biomass In Supply Chain Decarbonization, Ruxia Lyu, Sobhan Arisian, Zhitang Li, Mohammad S. Taskhiri, Reza Kiani Mavi
Research outputs 2022 to 2026
To achieve supply chain decarbonization, environmentally conscious manufacturers are transforming their energy infrastructure. While certain manufacturers are adopting a pure bioenergy strategy in their production processes, others are opting for a hybrid energy approach that combines traditional energy with bioenergy. This choice is often influenced by limitations in land capacity and the developmental stage of biomass conversion technologies. This paper introduces a game-theoretic model that explores the optimal approach to achieving supply chain decarbonization by strategically selecting energy portfolios. Our findings reveal that in scenarios where the market size is small, manufacturers tend to adopt a hybrid energy strategy, particularly …

Master of Science in Mathematics
In the thesis, we established the strong convergence of inertial iterative scheme designed to approximate the common solutions of the equilibrium and the fixed-point problem for non-expansive mappings in Hilbert spaces. Through extensive numerical analysis, we analyze the efficiency of the algorithm and demonstrate that the incorporation of the inertial technique yields a significantly faster convergence rate than existing comparable schemes. Furthermore, we examine the effect of initial value on the convergence dynamics, offering visual and comparative assessments against classical methods. To highlight the practical utility and versatility of our framework, we apply the algorithm to signal restoration problems, and …

Research outputs 2022 to 2026
This article explores the relations between nation, nature and childhood in five early childhood education curricula in the Nordic, post-socialist and settler-colonial states with the focus on the role education plays in the face of the climate crisis. The authors identify three interconnecting themes in which nation, nature and childhood are entangled in these curricula: 1) national nature as an object of learning; 2) nature and home/birth land and Country; and 3) stewardship for national nature. Exploring these themes from the perspective of alternative pedagogies developed to address the child–nature relations during the Anthropocene, the authors argue that these notions …

As intelligent traffic systems evolve to manage complex urban mobility, conventional congestion estimation techniques, such as the time-windowed Volume-to-Capacity (V/C) ratio, fail to capture capture the real-time traffic situation. Because these methods rely on vehicles crossing a specific point, they often fail to register stopped cars, creating a ‘zero flow’ paradox where complete gridlock is incorrectly categorized as an empty, free-flowing road. To address these limitations, this study proposes an end-to-end computer vision framework utilizing the Real-Time DEtection TRansformer (RT-DETR) model to quantify vehicle volume and immediately classify a roadway’s Level of Service (LOS) through spatial density. In processing video …
It Makes You Nervous When You Start Talking About Racism: Shining Light On Teacher Educators’ Experiences Of Anti-Racist Pedagogy In Australian Teacher Education, Sasha Janes
Research outputs 2022 to 2026
Teacher educators have a significant responsibility in promoting anti-racist pedagogy and guiding preservice teachers to engage in critical self-examination regarding dominant narratives. However, many teacher education programmes fall short of adequately equipping aspiring teachers for diverse classrooms as they often perpetuate a predominantly white system and curricula. Informed by Critical Pedagogy and underpinned by a lens of Culturally Sustaining Pedagogies, this paper discusses the experiences of teacher educators facilitating anti-racist pedagogy within teacher education programmes at Australian universities. Semi-structured interviews were held with 23 experienced teacher educators employed at universities across Australia. Data reveal teacher educators’ efforts to promote anti-racist …

A growing body of literature describes the anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, and anti-epileptic properties of the cannabis sativa constituent cannabidiol, suggesting that it might play a useful role in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. Late infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (CLN2 disease) is a rare pediatric neurodegenerative disorder resulting from an inherited dysfunction of the lysosome. CLN2 disease, and its representative animal models, display neuroimmune response, neuroinflammation, neurodegeneration, and epileptic seizures, and these symptoms are all touted as potential targets of cannabidiol therapeutic benefit. Here, we treated a valid model of CLN2 disease with long-term daily cannabidiol (300 mg/kg) from 1 month of …

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a biologically heterogeneous condition with vascular, proteinopathic, metabolic, and immune processes jointly shaping its clinical expression, trajectory of progression, and response to therapeutic intervention. Common AD co-pathologies such as cerebral amyloid angiopathy, Lewy body pathology, α-synuclein, and transactive response DNA-binding protein of 43 kDa (TDP-43)/limbic-predominant age-related TDP-43 encephalopathy are also increasingly connected with cognitive decline and therapeutic response. Significant advances in biomarkers, including seed amplification assays, proteomic signatures, and emerging positron emission tomography tracers bolster the field's understanding of a biological staging model and discovery of previously unrecognized co-pathologies. The Fall 2025 Alzheimer's Association Research Roundtable …

INTRODUCTION: Peripheral nerve injuries (PNI) pose a major challenge in the intraoperative assessment of nerve viability. Wallerian degeneration (WD) is the degenerative process of axonal breakdown distal to the site of injury, with limited proximal extension, and progresses through spatiotemporally consistent stages facilitated by Schwann cell reprogramming and macrophage infiltration. We evaluated LS-301, a near-infrared (NIR) fluorophore previously used in human oncology trials, that targets phosphorylated annexin A2 (pANXA2), which is upregulated and redistributed to Schwann cell surfaces after nerve injury.
METHODS: Utilizing a sciatic nerve transection model in rats, LS-301 was compared with the untargeted control dye Cypate-3 using …

Modulation Of Ccr2/Ccl2 Molecular Axis In The Expansion And Rupture Of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms, Ryan Wahidi, Santiago Elizondo-Benedetto, Ryan Catlett, Bera Koklu, Mohamed A Zayed
2020-Current year OA Pubs
The CCR2/CCL2 molecular axis is a critical mediator of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) pathogenesis. It has been demonstrated to drive chronic inflammation, extracellular matrix degradation, and vascular remodeling through the recruitment and activation of monocytes/macrophages and other immune cell types. Pre-clinical studies demonstrate that CCR2 inhibition reduces AAA formation, expansion, and progression in animal models. Emerging imaging techniques have validated CCR2 as a biomarker for AAA instability in humans. Although clinical trials targeting CCR2 are currently limited in number, ongoing translational studies highlight that CCR2 blockade is a promising therapeutic strategy to mitigate AAA expansion and the risk of rupture. …

INTRODUCTION: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the thirdmost common cancer and a leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide, with over 1.9 million cases diagnosed in 2022. Due to poor response to classical cancer treatments, CRC is associated with low survival rates. This creates an urgent need for better understanding of CRC pathology. Cell death occurs continuously in solid tumors, and is also induced acutely, during chemotherapy. Dead cells are cleared by phagocytes via 'efferocytosis', an anti-inflammatory process that can lead to immune escape and reduced therapeutic efficacy. We hypothesized that efferocytosis might contribute to tumor development and that manipulating this process …

Research outputs 2022 to 2026
Policy engagement is key to promoting quality physical education yet it has been identified as a ‘grand challenge’ for Health and/or Physical Education (H/PE) internationally. All H/PE professionals, including teacher educators, have a collective responsibility to engage with policy but existing research tells us little about how H/PE teacher educators (H/PETEs) understand and engage with policy. It is important to examine H/PETEs conceptualisations of policy for a few reasons, not least because teacher educators play a crucial role in supporting future generations of teachers who themselves will need to engage with policy as a core feature of their professional lives. …

The Transformational Possibilities Of Liberal Vocationalism: A Case Study Of Post-Year 10 Outdoor Education In Western Australia, David Aldous, Dawn Penney
Research outputs 2022 to 2026
This paper discusses the transformative potential that liberal vocationalism, aligned with contemporary visions of lifelong and lifewide learning, presents for outdoor learning across institutional and industry settings. Utilising Bernstein’s sociological theory, the paper explores this transformation through an illustrative case study of the relations, knowledges and identities of post-Year10 Outdoor Education in Western Australia (WA). The case study highlights how Outdoor Education in WA has been organised through distinct classificatory relations that exist between government, regulatory bodies and individual industry providers that serve to distinguish Outdoor Education from outdoor learning that is ongoing and able to be pursued by people …

Tourist activities may harm the environment, making tourists’ environmentally responsible behavior particularly important in tourism research. This research investigates the persuasion effect of message framing in environmental protection reminders on environmentally responsible behavior. Through five studies employing both field and controlled experiments and different measures of environmentally responsible behavior across varied tourism scenarios, we demonstrate that negatively (vs. positively) framed messages more effectively increase environmentally responsible behavior. Specifically, negatively framed messages are more effective in enhancing tourists’ environmental awareness, which triggers more environmentally responsible behavior. Furthermore, we identify social class as a moderator of message framing effectiveness, showing that negatively …

This paper offers analysis of the first phase of a research project, Understanding and Addressing Everyday Sexisms in Australian Universities. This phase involved a critical content analysis of all 39 of Australia’s public university websites, focusing on how they represent gender, absences in relation to gender and the navigability of the websites in relation to gender equity policy. Drawing on Maria Lugones’s colonialities of gender, this paper demonstrates how university websites have the potential to reproduce or renegotiate inherited institutional everyday sexisms and broader gender inequities. Themes of reconfiguring acceptable gendering, conspicuous absences, and in-built obscurity that emerged from this …
