Independant expert report considering air quality impacts of the Mount Pleasant coal mine expansion

This metadata application profile (MAP) outlines the metadata approach taken in the project A Biosecurity Risk Research Portal to Inform Decision-Making[1]. The project collects research report and research project metadata and makes these available through an open access database. The project enriches and extends source metadata with properties and vocabularies designed to support discovery and analysis of biosecurity concepts. [1] https://doi.org/10.26188/21498714.v3

Background: Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a severe and fatal clinical syndrome characterized by high blood pressure and vascular remodeling in the pulmonary arterioles, which is also a rapidly progressing disease of the lung vasculature with a poor prognosis. Although PAH medication made great advances in recent years, the efficacy and safety of the medication are unsatisfactory. Therefore, we aimed to update and expand previous studies to explore the efficacy and safety of PAH-targeted medications....

The profiles of trace and major elements in three Odontarrhena species from the ultramafics of Western Iran (O. callichroa, O. penjwinensis and O. inflata) were evaluated to provide detailed information on their soil-plant relationships and potentials for agromining. The mean concentrations of Ni in leaf dry matter of these three species were 877, 3,270 and 2,720 mg kg−1, respectively. The mean concentrations of total soil Ni at sites Mazi Ban, Kamyaran and Ghala Ga were...

We live in precarious times: politically and culturally, and we propose that by connecting communities of educational researchers to each other, while offering a space and time to trouble and speculate as a community post COP27 and prior to meeting at ARRE will connect researchers to the larger climate and digital activism discussions happening globally. In the face of an increasingly volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous world, education can make the difference as to whether...

Performance-based structural design is still in a comparatively developmental phase for fire hazard when compared to that of, for example, earthquake excitation. Addressing a significant weakness in performance-based design for fire, the present study aims to propose appropriate intensity measures (IM) for a fire hazard that has a robust correlation with certain engineering demand parameter (EDP) and which may subsequently be linked to the damage / loss estimation a priori, in a structure subjected to...

Twenty LGBTQA+SB adults were recruited from across Australia with participants located in Queensland, Victoria, NSW, Western Australia and South Australia. Sampling sought to capture a range of experiences of suicidality and social supports and reflect the diversity of the LGBTIQA+ community in terms of gender identity, sexuality and age, with particular emphasis on recruitment of First Nations LGBTQA+SB participants and LGBTQA+POC. In total, 3 First Nations LGBTQA+SB people, 7 LGBTQA+ POC and, and 10 LGBTQA+...

A small group of research intensive universities have been working over the last five years to better understand the characteristics of a more effective research data culture - https://www.researchdataculture.org. A research data culture is sought that encompasses the ambitions of Preservation, Sharing and Reuse operating within real world constraints related to Resourcing, Sensitivity and End-of-life. Over the years, while those discussions alluded to the challenges posed by an ever growing data volume, a measure of...

This educational tool developed at the University of Melbourne aims to give students a better understanding of the Python code for artificial neural networks and the matrix shapes and calculations behind that code. For each step through the artificial neural network (both the forward pass and back propagation) the corresponding code is given. Students are asked to write down for each step the dimensions of the matrix calculations, before checking their answers (correct answers are...

For each step through the artificial neural network (both the forward pass and back propagation) the corresponding code is given. Write down for each step the dimensions of the matrix calculations. This educational tool developed at the University of Melbourne aims to give students a better understanding of the Python code for artificial neural networks, and what matrix calculations are happening in an artificial neural network.

This is an analysis plan template for the design of statistical analyses in observational studies. It was developed to strengthen the quality of observational studies and to aid in the efficient development of research manuscripts by addressing several key principles together.

This submission is made on behalf of the Centre of Research Excellence in Disability and Health (CRE-DH) in response to the independent review of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) announced by the Australian Government on 18 October 2022. This submission draws on evidence produced by CRE-DH researchers and affiliates. We highlight our work in two key areas of concern to the NDIS Review: · equity within the NDIS in relation to access, plan budgets...

This report presents the findings of the evaluation of the first three years of Eastern Community Legal Centre (ECLC)’s elder abuse service trials – a specialist elder abuse unit, Rights of Seniors in the East (ROSE), and a health justice partnership, Engaging and Living Safely and Autonomously (ELSA). ELSA and ROSE were funded by the Commonwealth Attorney-General’s Department as part of the National Elder Abuse Service Trials, and have both since converted to ongoing programs....

Between April and July 2021, the Melbourne Centre for Cities (C4Cs) at the University of Melbourne and Fondation Botnar jointly organised the ‘Evidence to Action Dialogue Series: Young Peoples’ Wellbeing in Southern Cities’. This report offers a summary of the ideas that emerged from the conversations throughout the dialogue series.

Instead of waiting to be told what to do, we now, more than ever, need to have conversations across generations, communities and institutional boundaries to create solutions together. The Climate, Art, and Digital Activisms Festival of Ideas invited diverse audiences and organisations wanting to be a part of creating a just and sustainable future. We flipped the script by opening up the conversation to local community members, interdisciplinary artists, scientists and educators. The Festival program...
