Description: Issue addressed: Alcohol-influenced drowning among young Australians (aged 18-24 years) is a prominent health concern. However, effectiveness of targeted prevention campaigns for this age group is unknown, as this information is not typically published in peer-reviewed or easily accessed grey literature. Accordingly, future campaigns cannot build on prior efforts to address this health problem. Methods: Semi-structured interviews ascertained young Australian adults’ perspectives on preventing alcohol consumption in aquatic settings, and their awareness of appropriate safety strategies and Australian national and state drowning prevention campaigns. Discussions were transcribed verbatim and thematically analysed using an interpretative phenomenological approach. Results: Twenty-three individuals (mean age 20.65 years) participated in an interview. Participants had poor understanding of alcohol-focused drowning prevention campaigns and used logos and names to decipher key campaign messages. Education was recommended as the preferred method for prevention, and participants suggested preferences for delivery (eg social media, in schools, humour and shock tactics). The safety strategies discussed appeared to be transferred from strategies used in other contexts, rather than related to the specific risks of aquatic scenarios. Conclusions: Drowning prevention practitioners should ensure transparency and clarity of their campaign names and logos to enhance understanding of the messages. Practitioners should also consider using audience analysis during campaign design, delivery and evaluation, alongside best practice recommendations from literature, to enhance campaign suitability and effectiveness. So what?: Water safety practitioners and policy makers should acknowledge these findings when developing campaigns which address young adults’ lack of awareness of safe aquatic behaviours to encourage a sustained behaviour change. © 2020 Australian Health Promotion Association.

Description: Being a significant stakeholder in the graduates' employment outcomes, it is vital to understand employers' perceptions of graduates' work-readiness. However, existing information systems (IS) literature focuses mainly on the perceptions of students or universities. This paper aims to fill this gap by analysing scoping interviews conducted with graduate recruiters and industry experts in Australia regarding attributes that can improve graduates' employment prospects in the information and communication technology industry. A preliminary investigation based on grounded theory identified three emergent themes from the data: behaviors, skills, and knowledge levels. Based on the findings, this study proposes an IS graduate work-readiness framework that can help universities to develop academic programs aimed at enhancing desirable skills and attitudes among IS graduates' employment.

Description: Laws and policies are critical in facilitating positive or negative outcomes where humans and wildlife have potential to interact. This chapter provides a historical overview of Nepal's protected areas and reviews the Nepalese conservation laws to explore whether they, through enactment, have the capacity to reduce the frequency and consequently the impact of human wildlife conflict (HWC). This chapter also provides useful insights for the formulation of new conservation laws, or the revision of existing conservation laws, to prevent and mitigate HWC. Nepal's conservation laws were formulated in the early 1970s, when modern protected areas were first being established in the country. Initially, Nepal followed the Yellowstone Model, an exclusionary approach involving the removal of local people from areas within the boundaries of the new National Parks. The intent was to separate humans and protected areas, measures that are often commended as effective in reducing interactions between humans and wildlife. Over time, the gradual relaxation of strict rules of exclusion, including the granting of rights to local people to access resources inside protected areas, have encouraged a move towards a coexistence approach. This later approach (coexistence) condoned, or at least allowed for, more contact between humans and wildlife, and may have increased the potential for HWC. Subsequent amendments to the conservation laws-including provisions for wildlife population management-may have gone some way toward reducing HWC; however, these amendments lack clarity and have been poorly implemented. This article recommends active implementation of laws that may reduce interactions between humans and wildlife and suggests improved compensation policies for wildlife damage. © 2021 Nova Science Publishers, Inc.

Description: Alkali-activated cement (AAC) is an alternative cement that has been increasingly studied over the past decades mainly because of its environmental benefits. However, most studies are on heat-cured AACs and are focused on mechanical properties. There is a lack of research on the fresh properties of ambient-cured AAC systems. This study investigates the rheological properties of ambient-temperature-cured alkali-activated blended binder mixtures activated with sodium silicate and sodium hydroxide solutions. The influence of binder amount, alkaline solid to binder ratio (AS/B), sodium silicate to sodium hydroxide solids ratio (SS/SH), and total water content to total solid (from the binding materials) ratio (TW/TS) on the rheological properties are investigated. The effect of borax as an admixture and silica fume as a replacement for fly ash is also investigated. The results showed that both the yield stress and plastic viscosity are mainly affected by the binder content and TW/TS ratio decreasing with the increase of each parameter. The yield stress increased with the increase of the SS/SH ratio. Borax significantly reduced the yield stress, while silica fume’s effect was dependent on its dosage.

Description: In this work, two methods, which were visible near-infrared spectroscopy (VNIRS) and visible near-infrared spectroscopy combined with colorimetric sensor array (VNIRS-CSA), were used to identify the volatile compound changes of rice samples stored for 0 to 6 months. Principal component analysis (PCA), interval partial least squares (iPLS), and synergy interval partial least squares (SiPLS) were used for qualitative classification. A prediction model was established by linear discriminant analysis (LDA), which was compared with the traditional VNIRS detection technology. The results revealed that the VNIRS-CSA got better performance than VNIRS and exhibited a good result based on iPLS/SiPLS-PCA/LDA models. Furthermore, spectral data from VNIRS-CSA were the best for LDA with a high prediction value of 0.925 after standard normal variate (SNV) processing and variable selection by SiPLS. The research demonstrated that VNIRS-CSA is a quick, accurate, and non-destructive method for monitoring the storage time of rice. The strategy also has the potential for volatile organic components analysis. © 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Science+Business Media, LLC part of Springer Nature.

Description: This paper introduces the Charter of Lifelong Rights in Childhood Recordkeeping in Out-of-Home Care, centred on the critical, lifelong and diverse information and recordkeeping needs of Australian and Indigenous Australian children and adults who are experiencing, or have experienced Out-of-Home Care. The Charter is underpinned by the findings of two community-centred research projects, the Australian Research Council-funded Rights in Records by Design, 2017–2020 (applying a Rights by Design approach and co-design methodologies to rights-based recordkeeping systems in Out-of-Home Care), and the Indigenous Archiving and Cultural Safety: Examining the role of decolonisation and self-determination in libraries and archives doctoral project, 2018–2020 (focusing on Indigenous self-determination and cultural safety in the context of archives and libraries). It also draws on foundational research on the recordkeeping rights of Indigenous Australians undertaken in the Australian Research Council-funded Trust and Technology project, 2006–2010. The principles and values underpinning the Charter relate to child wellbeing and safety, self-determination, linked to archival autonomy and agency, and Indigenous Sovereignty and cultural safety. The development of the Charter is core to a National Framework for Recordkeeping for Childhood Out-of-Home Care, a major outcome of the 2017 National Summit on Setting the Record Straight for the Rights of the Child. © 2021 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.

Description: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). This pathogen has spread rapidly across the world, causing high numbers of deaths and significant social and economic impacts. SARS-CoV-2 is a novel coronavirus with a suggested zoonotic origin with the potential for cross-species transmission among animals. Antarctica can be considered the only continent free of SARS-CoV-2. Therefore, concerns have been expressed regarding the potential human introduction of this virus to the continent through the activities of research or tourism to minimise the effects on human health, and the potential for virus transmission to Antarctic wildlife. We assess the reverse-zoonotic transmission risk to Antarctic wildlife by considering the available information on host susceptibility, dynamics of the infection in humans, and contact interactions between humans and Antarctic wildlife. The environmental conditions in Antarctica seem to be favourable for the virus stability. Indoor spaces such as those at research stations, research vessels or tourist cruise ships could allow for more transmission among humans and depending on their movements between different locations the virus could be spread across the continent. Among Antarctic wildlife previous in silico analyses suggested that cetaceans are at greater risk of infection whereas seals and birds appear to be at a low infection risk. However, caution needed until further research is carried out and consequently, the precautionary principle should be applied. Field researchers handling animals are identified as the human group posing the highest risk of transmission to animals while tourists and other personnel pose a significant risk only when in close proximity (< 5 m) to Antarctic fauna. We highlight measures to reduce the risk as well as identify of knowledge gaps related to this issue. © 2020 The Authors

Description: Convolutional Neural Network's (CNN's) performance disparity on clean and corrupted datasets has recently come under scrutiny. In this work, we analyse common corruptions in the frequency domain, i.e., High Frequency corruptions (HFc, e.g., noise) and Low Frequency corruptions (LFc, e.g., blur). Although a simple solution to HFc is low-pass filtering, ReLU - a widely used Activation Function (AF), does not have any filtering mechanism. In this work, we instill low-pass filtering into the AF (LP-ReLU) to improve robustness against HFc. To deal with LFc, we complement LP-ReLU with Discrete Cosine Transform based augmentation. LP-ReLU, coupled with DCT augmentation, enables a deep network to tackle the entire spectrum of corruption. We use CIFAR-10-C and Tiny ImageNet-C for evaluation and demonstrate improvements of 5% and 7.3% in accuracy respectively, compared to the State-Of-The-Art (SOTA). We further evaluate our method's stability on a variety of perturbations in CIFAR-10-P and Tiny ImageNet-P, achieving new SOTA in these experiments as well. To further strengthen our understanding regarding CNN's lack of robustness, a decision space visualisation process is proposed and presented in this work. © 2013 IEEE.

Description: In this paper, we propose a robust framework based on the scaled boundary finite element method to model implicit interfaces in two-dimensional differential equations in nonhomegeneous media. The salient features of the proposed work are: (a) interfaces can be implicitly defined and need not conform to the background mesh; (b) Dirichlet boundary conditions can be imposed directly along the interface; (c) does not require special numerical integration technique to compute the bilinear and the linear forms and (d) can work with an efficient local mesh refinement using hierarchical background meshes. Numerical examples involving straight interface, circular interface and moving interface problems are solved to validate the proposed technique. Further, the presented technique is compared with conforming finite element method in terms of accuracy and convergence. From the numerical studies, it is seen that the proposed framework yields solutions whose error is O(h2) in L2 norm and O(h) in the H1 semi-norm. Further the condition number increases with the mesh size similar to the FEM. © 2021 Elsevier Ltd

Description: Spamming is emerging as a key threat to the Internet of Things (IoT)-based social media applications. It will pose serious security threats to the IoT cyberspace. To this end, artificial intelligence-based detection and identification techniques have been widely investigated. The literature works on IoT cyberspace can be categorized into two categories: 1) behavior pattern-based approaches and 2) semantic pattern-based approaches. However, they are unable to effectively handle concealed, complicated, and changing spamming activities, especially in the highly uncertain environment of the IoT. To address this challenge, in this article, we exploit the collaborative awareness of both patterns, and propose a Collaborative neural network-based spammer detection mechanism (Co-Spam) in social media applications. In particular, it introduces multisource information fusion by collaboratively encoding long-term behavioral and semantic patterns. Hence, a more comprehensive representation of the feature space can be captured for further spammer detection. Empirically, we implement a series of experiments on two real-world data sets under different scenarios and parameter settings. The efficiency of the proposed Co-Spam is compared with five baselines with respect to several evaluation metrics. The experimental results indicate that the Co-Spam has an average performance improvement of approximately 5% compared to the baselines. © 2014 IEEE.

Description: Rock-burst is a common failure in hard rock related projects in civil and mining construction and therefore, proper classification and prediction of this phenomenon is of interest. This research presents the development of optimized naïve Bayes models, in predicting rock-burst failures in underground projects. The naïve Bayes models were optimized using four weight optimization techniques including forward, backward, particle swarm optimization, and evolutionary. An evolutionary random forest model was developed to identify the most significant input parameters. The maximum tangential stress, elastic energy index, and uniaxial tensile stress were then selected by the feature selection technique (i.e., evolutionary random forest) to develop the optimized naïve Bayes models. The performance of the models was assessed using various criteria as well as a simple ranking system. The results of this research showed that particle swarm optimization was the most effective technique in improving the accuracy of the naïve Bayes model for rock-burst prediction (cumulative ranking = 21), while the backward technique was the worst weight optimization technique (cumulative ranking = 11). All the optimized naïve Bayes models identified the maximum tangential stress as the most significant parameter in predicting rock-burst failures. The results of this research demonstrate that particle swarm optimization technique may improve the accuracy of naïve Bayes algorithms in predicting rock-burst occurrence. © 2013 IEEE.

Description: Understanding how individuals navigate challenging accuracy demands required to register a legal jump is important in furthering knowledge of competitive long jumping. Identification of co-ordination tendencies unique to each individual emphasises the need to examine the presence of unique movement solutions and presents important information for individualisation of training environments. In this study, key measures of gait were recorded during the long jump run-ups of 8 athletes at 8 national level competitions in the 2015 and 2016 Australian track and field seasons. These gait measures were examined to identify whether different visual regulation strategies emerged for legal and foul jumps for each competitor. Emergence of different footfall variability data curves, illustrating how step adjustments were distributed across the run-up for each athlete, suggests that athletes interacted differently with features of the competition environment. This observation highlights the importance of movement adaptability as constraints change and emerge across each performance trial. Results provided further support in conceptualising the run-up as a continuous interceptive action task consisting of a series of interconnected events (i.e., individual step lengths) influencing the regulation of gait towards the take-off board. This information can be used by coaches and practitioners in designing training environments that promote athlete adaptation of more functional movement solutions closely matched to the dynamics of competition environments. Results suggest that training designs that help athletes to search, explore and exploit key sources of information from the competition environment will enhance the fit between the individual and the environment and the development of rich, adaptable movement solutions for competitive performance. © 2021 Elsevier B.V.

Description: Drawing on interviews with, and ethnographic observations of, evangelical Christian musicians with experience of contemporary worship music-as well as secular heavy metal and punk rock-this article analyses the competing value relations underpinning contemporary evangelical musicianship. Developing the work of Joel Robbins on value theory and the anthropology of Christianity and the work of Klisala Harrison on ethnomusicology, this article analyses four examples of different value relations between religious service and expressive individualism: strong monism, stable monism, stable pluralism, unstable pluralism. It is shown through case studies of individual musicians that, whereas strong value monist approaches to evangelical musicianship efface the presence of the subjective self and stable monist approaches suspend its presence, stable pluralism allows both religious and secular vocations to co-exist in separate social spaces, while strong value pluralist approaches to evangelical musicianship emphasise or celebrate the presence of the subjective self and, in so doing, sometimes undermine the ritual aims of congregational worship.

Description: While scientific collaboration is critical for a scholar, some collaborators can be more significant than others, e.g., lifetime collaborators. It has been shown that lifetime collaborators are more influential on a scholar's academic performance. However, little research has been done on investigating predicting such special relationships in academic networks. To this end, we propose Scholar2vec, a novel neural network embedding for representing scholar profiles. First, our approach creates scholars' research interest vector from textual information, such as demographics, research, and influence. After bridging research interests with a collaboration network, vector representations of scholars can be gained with graph learning. Meanwhile, since scholars are occupied with various attributes, we propose to incorporate four types of scholar attributes for learning scholar vectors. Finally, the early-stage similarity sequence based on Scholar2vec is used to predict lifetime collaborators with machine learning methods. Extensive experiments on two real-world datasets show that Scholar2vec outperforms state-of-the-art methods in lifetime collaborator prediction. Our work presents a new way to measure the similarity between two scholars by vector representation, which tackles the knowledge between network embedding and academic relationship mining. © 2021 Association for Computing Machinery.

Description: Background: The purpose of the study was to evaluate secondary stroke prevention in Poland and its association with sociodemographic factors, place of residence, and concomitant cardiovascular risk factors. Material and methods: From all patients in LIPIDOGRAM2015 Study (n = 13,724), 268 subjects had a history of ischaemic stroke and were included. Results: 165 subjects (61.6%) used at least one preventive medication. Oral antiplatelet and anticoagulation agents were used by 116 (43.3%) and 70 (26.1%) patients, respectively. Only 157 (58.6%) participants used lipid-lowering drugs, and 205 (76.5%) were treated with antihypertensive drugs. Coronary heart disease (CHD) and dyslipidaemia were associated with antiplatelet treatment (p = 0.047 and p = 0.012, respectively). A history of atrial fibrillation, CHD, and previous myocardial infarction correlated with anticoagulant treatment (p = 0.001, p = 0.011, and p < 0.0001, respectively). Age, gender, time from stroke onset, place of residence, and level of education were not associated with antiplatelet or anticoagulant treatment. Only 31.7% of patients were engaged in regular physical activity, 62% used appropriate diet, and 13.6% were current smokers. Conclusions: In Poland drugs and lifestyle modification for secondary stroke prevention are not commonly adhered to. Educational programmes for physicians and patients should be developed to improve application of effective secondary prevention of stroke. © 2021 by the authors. **Please note that there are multiple authors for this article therefore only the name of the first 5 including Federation University Australia affiliate “Fadi Charchar” is provided in this record**

Description: Big data ecosystems are complex data-intensive, digital–physical systems. Data-intensive ecosystems offer a number of benefits; however, they present challenges as well. One major challenge is related to the privacy and security. A number of privacy and security models, techniques and algorithms have been proposed over a period of time. The limitation is that these solutions are primarily focused on an individual or on an isolated organizational context. There is a need to study and provide complete end-to-end solutions that ensure security and privacy throughout the data lifecycle across the ecosystem beyond the boundary of an individual system or organizational context. The results of current study provide a review of the existing privacy and security challenges and solutions using the systematic literature review (SLR) approach. Based on the SLR approach, 79 applicable articles were selected and analyzed. The information from these articles was extracted to compile a catalogue of security and privacy challenges in big data ecosystems and to highlight their interdependencies. The results were categorized from theoretical viewpoint using adaptive enterprise architecture and practical viewpoint using DAMA framework as guiding lens. The findings of this research will help to identify the research gaps and draw novel research directions in the context of privacy and security in big data-intensive ecosystems. © 2021, The Author(s).
