The situation of the investigation and prosecution of OCSA in Vietnam -- III. Issues relating to the investigation and prosecution of OCSA in Vietnam -- Conclusion.While online child sexual abuse (OCSA) is an international concern, little is known about its negative effects in Vietnam, where the percentages of Internet users exceed 50% of the population. A recent statistic from the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), under the Ministry of Public Security, reveals that during the 4 years period (2014 to June 2018), on average, more than 1,500 child sexual abuse cases were detected per year. However, the proportion of OCSA detected cases in the total detected child sexual abuse cases was only 2.5%. Also, there has not been any formal evaluation of the situation with the investigation and prosecution of OCSA and child pornography in Vietnam. This research project has sought to give an overview of the current state of investigation and prosecution of OCSA in Vietnam and to examine the effectiveness of law enforcement agencies in tackling this serious cybercrime. The research was conducted over 9 months, from February to November 2018 and divided into three parts. The overview of the terminology, nature of OCSA and the regional and international concerns about the rise of OCSA was presented in the first part. In the second part, the practice of Vietnam CID investigation and prosecution of OCSA was analyzed carefully to establish the aim and objectives of the research. The research was illustrated by four selected case studies that had been investigated in order to determine the barriers to current efforts of law enforcement agencies in dealing with this problem. The database of the CID was accessed and analyzed with a view to evaluating the current situation. The cases and related materials of the Police Force during the period of 2014-June 2018 were collected for assessment. In this part, the existing legal framework, the structure, and capacity of relevant law enforcement agencies were studied for a comprehensive evaluation. In the third part, the research identified the existing issues with the investigation and prosecution of OCSA in Vietnam. The issues include the lack of a legal framework, insufficient capacity of law enforcement agencies, the lack of human resources, technical training and the limits on international cooperation.The findings of the research improve the awareness of OCSA in Vietnamese society. It serves as a valuable academic resource and reference for researchers as well as practitioners.Mode of access: World wide web1 online resource (79 pages) diagrams, table
Language contact and change through translation in Afrikaans and South African English: a diachronic corpus-based study
No full textTheoretical thesis.Bibliography: pages 245-263.Chapter 1. Introduction -- Chapter 2. Theoretical framework -- Chapter 3. The South African context -- Chapter 4. Methodology -- Chapter 5. Findings and discussion - genitive variation in South African English and Afrikaans -- Chapter 6. English and Afrikaans modality and the role of translation-induced change -- Chapter 7. Conclusions and avenues for further research.Languages are constantly changing and there are numerous reasons as to why languages change. One of these is contact-induced language change. It refers to the situation where languages synchronically influence one another in shared socio-semiotic environments. Translation is a site of language contact, but it has hardly been considered a factor in contact-induced language change. This study sets out to investigate the role of translation-induced change using an innovative corpus design developed specifically for the purpose of testing the role of translation in multilingual settings. The corpus combines a bidirectional comparable and parallel design with both synchronic and diachronic components. The corpus is furthermore divided into four time frames based on key events in South Africa’s history (1910-1947, 1948-1975, 1976-1993, 1994-2016) and four registers (creative writing, instructional writing, persuasive writing and popular writing). The corpus design, in other words, will help determine how certain linguistic features are treated the same or differently in English and Afrikaans writing, across time periods and registers, both in original writing, in translations and their source texts, and in comparable translated and non-translated texts in each language. The linguistic features selected to study the role of translation in language change are genitive variation and modality. Ultimately, the study aims to determine (a) how translation-induced language change can be differentiated from other factors that are involved in contact-induced change and (b) if there is evidence for translation-induced language change in the development of Afrikaans and South African English in the twentieth century. The results show that while it is possible to distinguish the role of translation from other factors that are involved in language change, there is limited evidence for translation-induced change in Afrikaans and South African English. This is because translators are quite aware of target-language norms, which gives the ability to adapt and normalise their translations in such a way that it closely follows the norms and linguistic tendencies of original texts in the same language.Mode of access: World wide web1 online resource (263 pages) graphs, table
Exploring gendered (in)securities of environmentally displaced migrants: a case study from Dhaka, Bangladesh

Towards security for environmentally-displaced migrant s: key findings and future research -- References -- Appendices.This thesis provides an understanding of the everyday, gendered experiences of human security from the perspective of environmentally-displaced migrants. This community perspective contrasts with much of the research on security and environment-related migration, which tends to focus on geopolitical and national security considerations and the drivers of migration rather than the experience of migrants themselves as they negotiate opportunities to secure a livelihood, home and community in their new destination. The study provides a critical, qualitative and in-depth exploration of the gendered nature of insecurity from the diverse perspectives of migrants themselves who are living in one of Dhaka's informal settlements, known as Bhola. The name of the settlement comes from Bhola Island, where many people have emigrated following repeated exposure to disasters and shocks, beginning with a severe famine in 1971. The study identifies three key factors influencing people’s experience of (in)security: the extent to which they experience freedom from exclusion, freedom from fear and freedom from indignity. The research findings show that established migrants, those who have lived in Bhola settlement for more than five years, tend to have more freedom to negotiate their inclusion in socio-political relations than recent migrants. Strong and inclusive social networks generate more livelihood options and resources to support their freedom. Yet, established migrants reported a greater level of fear concerning the threats of eviction, discrimination and police harassment than people who recently settled in Bhola. The study also reveals the highly gendered nature of (in)security, identifying the particular ways women feel more insecure than men, concluding that specific social practices, economic processes and power relations associated with both formal and informal institutions directly contribute to the uneven nature of (in)security. Gender roles and responsibilities were, however, found to be more flexible among recent migrants than established migrants, allowing women to attain greater freedom of movement, financial autonomy, decision-making authority and dignity. The thesis argues that to realise improved security for people who have been displaced by environmental (and other) factors, policy makers should not only focus on the material conditions of deprivation that shape their experience of (in)security but also consider non-material aspects such as inclusion, safety and dignity. As well as building people’s adaptive capacity, policy makers and other actors should also support people’s freedom as a pathway for development. It is only through realising and expanding people’s freedom from exclusion, fear and indignity that justice can be ensured for environmentally-displaced migrants.Mode of access: World wide web1 online resource (xvii, 314 pages) colour illuistrations, colour map
Empirical analysis of business cycles using the unobserved components model
No full textThesis by publication.Includes bibliographical references.1. Introduction -- 2. Okun coefficients and participation coefficients -- 3. Average labour productivity dynamics over the business cycle -- 4. Business cycle asymmetry in a small open economy -- 5. Conclusion -- Appendices.Timely estimates of the current state of the business cycle in a number of economic indicators are essential in the setting of the stance of macroeconomic policy. There are several methods for extracting estimates of the underlying trends and cycles but results vary considerably by method, and it is sometimes uncertain whether the estimated components actually represent real underlying phenomena. The central challenge of each of the three articles forming the main body of this thesis is finding a meaningful statistical characterisation of the business cycle component in various aggregate macroeconomic variables using an unobserved components model.The first article demonstrates how a common cyclical component can be extracted from a set of related labour market statistics to make new estimates of Okun coefficients and participation coefficients by age and gender. The estimated coefficients were generally higher than those typically reported in the literature and reveal the characteristic cyclical response of different groups of workers to an economic downturn. The second article sheds new light on previously disparate empirical findings of procyclical or countercyclical productivity, against a theoretical framework in which it is usually held to be procyclical. An extension of the unobserved components model which allowed direct estimates of phase-shift amongst similar cycles was used to explain the apparent countercyclical and lagging behaviour of average labour productivity relative to the output cycle. The third article develops a non-linear version of the model which incorporates the possibility of asymmetric responses to an exogenous recession indicator. Two related questions are considered in the article, namely, whether a non-linear model with asymmetric features provide a better fit to macroeconomic data than a symmetric model, and whether a recession is a real macroeconomic phenomenon, more than simply the mirror image of the expansionary phase of the cycle. Evidence is found in favour of asymmetry.One important aspect of business cycle research is revealing the characteristic comovement of the cyclical components of several economic aggregate variables in a multivariate framework. The three articles in this thesis have demonstrated how such a framework can be used in situations where economic policy making will benefit from a better understanding of the cyclical behaviour of key macroeconomic aggregate variables and the interaction between them.Mode of access: World wide web1 online resource (viii, 220 pages) graphs, table
Using mobile health interventions to promote physical activity: a mixed methods study
No full textThesis by publication.Centre for Health Informatics, Australian Institute of Health Innovation, Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, Macquarie University NSW Australia" -- title page.Includes bibliographical references.Chapter 1. Introduction -- Chapter 2. Paper I - The use of social features in mobile health interventions to promote physical activity : a systematic review -- Chapter 3. Methods -- Chapter 4. Paper II - Efficacy of a mobile social networking intervention in promoting physical activity : quasi-experimental study -- Chapter 5. Paper III - Using a mobile social networking app to promote physical activity : a qualitative study of users' perspectives -- Chapter 6. Discussion and conclusion -- References -- Appendices.Mobile technologies (e.g. mobile applications, wearable trackers) and online social networks have emerged as potential facilitators of physical activity. To date, few studies have examined the integration of these technologies in an intervention, users' perceptions about them, and their combined efficacy on physical activity.This study adopted a mixed method design within a pre-post, one-arm quasi-experiment to evaluate the efficacy and acceptability of a mobile social networking application, connected with a wearable tracker, to promote physical activity. Quantitative results were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Interviews and focus groups were conducted before and after the intervention to explore users' perspectives.Fifty-five participants were enrolled in the study (mean age=23.6 years, 50.1% female). Quantitative analysis revealed a non-statistically significant increase in average daily step count between baseline and 6 months (mean change = 14.5 steps/day, P = 0.98, 95% confidence interval [-1136.5, 1107.5]). Post-hoc subgroup analysis comparing the higher and lower physical activity groups at baseline showed that the latter had a statistically significantly higher increase in their daily step count (group difference in mean change from baseline to 6 months = 3025 steps per day, P = 0.008,95% confidence interval [837.9, 5211.8]. Qualitative analysis indicated users' preference for selfregulation techniques, social comparison with similar or existing connections, and personalization features.The study demonstrated the feasibility of a mobile social networking app, connected with a wearable tracker for physical activity promotion. A one-size-fits-all approach to behavior change was deemed insufficient by users, calling for the development of personalized interventions in future research.Mode of access: World wide web1 online resource (x, 100 pages) colour illustration
"I spoke to her in my mind, not with my lips": pregnancy, nausea, and fetal personhood in Manila city, the Philippines
No full textTheoretical thesis.Bibliography: pages 57-65.Introduction -- Chapter 1. Those lihi-lihi days -- Chapter 2. Pregnancy nausea and intercorporeality -- Chapter 3. Pregnancy as boundary situation -- Conclusion: further research, missing links, and summary.Historically, the Philippine Catholic Church has been a vocal opponent of any state legislation which attempts to provide broader access to contraceptives and family planning methods for the Filipino population. This position is predicated on the assertion that personhood begins at the moment of conception and that any act preventing that person from being born ought to be considered murder. The position of the Church is commonly understood as the defining feature of a shared ideology of fetal personhood in the Philippines, yet it has not been based on any substantial body of work on everyday Filipino beliefs concerning fetal personhood. Based on participant observation and in-depth semi-structured interviews during three months of fieldwork among working class families in Manila City, this thesis examines the ways that Manileñan women actually experience pregnancy and their relation to the unborn child. Borrowing from existing scholarship on the subject in other regions of the Philippines, this thesis makes a distinction between 'fixed' and 'processual' notions of fetal personhood, the former pertaining to those Catholic and secular biomedical positions which hold that personhood begins at a given moment or fixed point of the development of a fetus.Conversely, processual notions of fetal personhood hold that personhood is gained incrementally over time. However, the emphasis of this thesis is on women's experience of a relationality between their own behaviour and that of the fetus. For Manileñas, the 'symptoms' of first trimester pregnancy (nausea and vomiting for example) or 'lihi' in Tagalog are not experienced as arbitrary physiological and hormonal changes. Instead they are taken as evidence of the growth, movement, intention, personality, gender, and agency of the developing child. For Manileñan women, these factors are all indications of a person who is coming into being, one that is responsive also to their own behaviour. The thesis focuses on early pregnancy, women's experience of the nausea, smells and cravings of this period, and follows it through into an account of the way in which the inter-relationship between woman and fetus carries over in situations of extremity, such as premarital pregnancy, to allow the possibility of women seeing their fetus as responsive even to their existential dilemma.1 online resource (v, 65 pages
Generation of novel developmental and adult zebrafish models of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
No full textThesis by publication.Bibliography: pages 211-282.1. Introduction -- 2. Methods -- 3. Transient CCNF overexpression -- 4. Constitutive overexpression of CCNF -- 5. Inducible overexpression of CCNF -- 6. Discussion -- Appendix -- References.Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease characterisedby the death of upper and lower motor neurons. Approximately 10% of ALS patients have a known family history of the disease and genetic analysis of ALS-affected families has identified causal mutations in multiple genes. The identification of these mutations has provided the opportunity to develop models of ALS, essential tools for studies investigating the biology of the disease and for preclinical testing of potential therapeutics. While many of the mechanisms underlying ALS have been elucidated, these mechanisms remain poorly understood. Further studies using both established and novel models of ALS are required to enhance the current understanding of these mechanisms. A greater understanding of disease biology will lead to the identification of potential therapeutic targets.Mutations in CCNF linked to both familial and sporadic ALS were recently reported. Patients who carry these CCNF mutations develop TDP-43 positive protein aggregates within the their motor neurons - pathology considered to be the hallmark of the disease in over 95% of cases. Therefore, the identification of ALS-linked mutations in CCNF provides an opportunity to develop novel models that reflect the most common pathology seen in ALS patients. This project aimed to develop these novel models in the zebrafish.Zebrafish have emerged as useful tools to identify and investigate mechanisms of human disease. As vertebrates, they share significant genetic, anatomical and physiological similarities with humans, while their speed of development, their high fertility and the relative ease of manipulating their genome contribute to efficient development of disease models. This project investigated the suitability of zebrafish to model ALS-linked mutations in CCNF by characterising the zebrafish CCNF homologue and its encoded protein, cyclin F. Comparison of zebrafish and human cyclin F identified significant structural similarities between the proteins, suggesting that they perform similar functions in the two species. Further, cyclin F was found to be persistently expressed in the zebrafish central nervous system throughout development. This suggests that models in which cyclin F is artificially expressed in the central nervous system will have physiological relevance. These findings supported the hypothesis that zebrafish are a suitable species in which to model cellular changes associated with ALS-linked mutant CCNF.Based on these findings, generation of the CCNF-based zebrafish commenced. A variety of model paradigms were explored to identify strategies that produced models suitable for investigative studies. Several strategies failed to generate viable models, including persistent embryonic overexpression of CCNF and selective expression of CCNF within the motor neurons. Two strategies emerged that did produce suitable models with which to study ALS - transient overexpression of ALS-linked mutant CCNF and inducible overexpression of ALS-linked mutant CCNF in adult zebrafish. Evidence presented in this thesis indicates that the transient model will prove useful for efficient analysis of the cellular changes associated with mutant CCNF and will be suitable for use in preclinical trials of potential therapeutics, while the inducible transgenic model will prove useful for longitudinal studies aimed at investigating disease biology in an adult animal. Such studies will contribute to a greater understanding ofthe mechanisms involved in disease onset and progression. The presence of TDP-43 pathology in patients who carry a CCNF mutation suggests that findings from these models will be applicable to wider ALS. A greater understanding of the biology of ALS will lead to the identification of potential therapeutic targets, an essential step in the development of desperately needed effective therapies.Mode of access: World wide web1 online resource (xxiv, 282 pages) colour illustration
Environmental and geochemical analysis of lead contamination: its sources and pathways of exposure and impact on children
No full textThesis by publication.Bibliography: pages 323-346.Chapter 1. Introduction -- Chapter 2. Study area -- Chapter 3. Applying geochemical signatures and SEM methods to identify contamination sources of mining and smelting community -- Chapter 4. Blood Pb and its response to environmental Pb -- Chapter 5. Influences of contemporary mining activities on childhood blood Pb and dust Pb deposits in Broken Hill -- Chapter 6. Influences of environmental contamination on the children educational and behavioural performance -- Chapter 7. Discussion -- Chapter 8. Conclusion -- Appendices.Resolving the source of environmental contamination is a critical first step in planning remediation and intervention strategies to adduce exposure prevention. However, a major challenge in established mining and smelting communities is that the sources of contamination and related potential health risks are often minimised by polluters and government agencies, often using unsupported scientific claims. A significant and longstanding example of this vexed issue is the protracted dispute over contamination sources and causes of childhood blood Pb exposures in Broken Hill (New South Wales), Australia's longest-operating Pb-Ag-Zn mining city.In order to unravel the sources, causes and impacts of contemporary Pb contamination in Broken Hill, this study applied a multiple lines of evidence approach using a combination of geochemical analyses and human health data. The methods applied included analysis of trace element concentrations in soil, dust, tailing dumps and weathered ores, their Pb isotopic and chemical compositions and the morphological characteristics of individual Pb-rich particles. The results demonstrated that Broken Hill contemporary dust Pb deposits were primarily sourced from current mining emissions as opposed to naturally weathered or legacy source sheld in soil and dust around the city. Children living closest to the mining operations were found to be at an increased risk of Pb exposure due to higher dust Pb loading (mean 255μg/m2/day) and its high bioaccessibility (75% of total Pb). The effects of current mining emissions on the contemporary dust Pb loading were quantitatively estimated. The analysis showed that a 1% increase in distance away from the current mining operations was associated with -0.501% (95% CI: -0.728, -0.275) reduction in dust Pb loading, while a 1% increase in production intensity at the mine increased the expected amount of dust Pb loading by 1.487% (95% CI: 0.537, 2.437%).Consistent with the dust Pb decreasing with distance away from current active mining operations, contemporary blood Pb concentrations (2011-2015) also decreased with distance (i.e. 1% increase in distance was associated with a 0.173% reduction in blood Pb concentration). Soil Pb concentrations, which are a proxy for legacy contamination from atmospheric dust depositions across the city also showed a decreasing trend away from the mining operations. Consequently, analysis of the long-term relationship between environmental Pb and blood Pb (1991-2015) revealed that both soil and dust Pb were significantly correlated with blood Pb concentrations, complicating the specific attribution of these individual sources to blood Pb exposure. To quantify the relevant sources of Pb, two 'natural experiments' were examined to separate the specific role of dust and soil Pb on children's blood Pb exposures: (a) the city's northerly prevailing wind direction; (b) the 2009 dust storm that blanketed Broken Hill soil with desert borne sands, rich in crustal elements Al, Si and Fe. The analyses showed that children living within the prevailing wind direction were at the greatest risk of elevated blood Pb compared to those living in a non-prevailing wind direction, even after adjusting for effects of residential soil Pb contamination. The role of current emissions on driving exposures was further corroborated by the fact that children's blood Pb shifted systematically with mine Pb production volumes irrespective of remedial interventions. The second natural experiment, the 2009 dust storm, showed blood Pb concentrations still decreased with distance even though soil Pb-distance gradient was reduced after the dust storm. Generalised linear regression analysis of contemporary outdoor dust Pb deposits and blood Pb concentrations corroborated dust as being a significant driver of childhood Pb exposures.This thesis research confirms that soil Pb on its own cannot explain blood Pb distributions and that dust Pb depositions are a significant factor in driving contemporary exposures. This finding provides evidence-based support for the mitigation and remediation approaches that are likely to be the most effective in terms of reducing blood Pb exposures in children-these being a clear need to control current mining emissions in Broken Hill as has been identified in Australia's other mining and smelting communities of Mount Isa and Port Pirie. The adverse consequences of not implementing evidence-based and targeted mitigation and remediation strategies on childhood development outcomes were also evaluated in the thesis. Early childhood development indices (i.e. developmental vulnerabilities-Australian Early Development Census data; school test scores-National Assessment Program Literacy and Numeracy) showed that children from the most contaminated areas in Broken Hill had lower educational performance and higher developmental vulnerabilities, even when normalised for socio-economic status. Similarly, poor scores were identified for Australia's other Pb processing locations of Mount Isa (Queensland) and Port Pire (South Australia), indicating the urgent need to implement the highest standards to limit the impact of mining and smelting Pb emissions on adjoining communities. Finally, application of a multiple lines of evidence as used in this thesis research to establish more precisely the source(s) of exposure in mining and smelting communities could be applied to other locations. Such an approach would help to address unequivocally extant disputes over the sources, causes and impacts of environmental Pb contamination in order to better target remediation and prevention strategies.Mode of access: World wide web1 online resource (xii, 251 pages) illustrations (some colour), colour map

Name it again. Improvements from repeated naming attempts in aphasia -- Chapter 3: Paper 2. An investigation of the time course of repetition priming of word retrieval -- Chapter 4: Paper 3. Repetition priming of spoken word production in older adults -- Chapter 5: Paper 4. Priming for success: repetition priming in aphasia -- Chapter 6: General discussion.Aphasia is a speech and language disorder, most commonly resulting from a stroke. For many people with aphasia, finding the right word to say can be a frequent problem. However, some individuals with aphasia are able to improve their word retrieval simply by attempting to name a picture without any treatment or feedback. The first experimental chapter in this thesis (Chapter 2) explores this phenomenon, examining changes in accuracy over seven naming attempts at approximately six week intervals in a case series of 23 people with aphasia: four individuals showed significant improvement in naming, but, surprisingly, two showed performance that significantly worsened. The mechanism underpinning change in performance from repeated attempts at naming in people with aphasia has been hypothesised to be repetition priming. Hence, Chapters 3, 4 and 5 investigate parameters of repetition priming in young and older unimpaired speakers and people with aphasia. Chapter 3 explores the time course of repetition priming of picture naming in unimpaired young adults, finding significant priming with lags ranging from minutes to one month even though naming stimuli used different pictorial exemplars. There was no benefit from additional repetitions. Chapter 4 extends this to older speakers, finding no significant differences in priming from young adults, although priming was no longer significant for the older speakers at one week. Chapter 5 looks at repetition priming in people with aphasia, finding significant improvements in naming latencies with a lag of several minutes, but not at longer delays. Accuracy only showed priming with four repetitions spaced over one week. This thesis contributes to a better understanding of a mechanism underpinning treatment improvements in people with aphasia. Additionally, it provides further understanding of repetition priming mechanisms and highlights the importance of examining individual priming effects further. This will help inform both theories of word retrieval and targeted treatment for people with aphasia -- abstract.Mode of access: World wide web.1 online resource (viii, 208 pages) illustration
Investigating the social sustainability reporting in finance and mining sectors in Australia
No full textTheoretical thesis.Includes bibliography.Chapter 1: Introduction -- Chapter 2: Literature review -- Chapter 3: Methodology -- Chapter 4: Findings -- Chapter 5: Conclusion.In the contemporary era, the challenges of sustainability have received increasing scholarly attention, as has the role of Human Resource Management in organisational sustainability. However, the extent to which Australian organisations are embracing sustainable human resource management practices, in particular practices pertaining to social and individual sustainability, has captured limited research interest. Thus, of six randomly selected Australian organisations from the finance and mining sectors during 2014 - 16 through documentary research and utilising Leximancer as text analytical software. The study found that, despite the growing number of Corporate Social Responsibility reporting quantitatively over the years, the report review analysis suggests relatively insignificant attention to social practices by most of the organisations and additionally the software analysis supports the report review conclusion by illustrating concept maps that affirms an inadequate portion of the reports consider social sustainability, with even weaker attention to individual sustainability1 online resource (ix, 106 pages
