Abstract:

Choline is an essential dietary nutrient that plays a key role as one of the few sources of methyl donors in the diet. Additional roles include the neurotransmitter acetylcholine and lipids such as phosphatidylcholine and sphingomyelin. Studies in adults have shown that choline deficiency results in fatty liver. In developing animals, choline deficiency also leads to impaired neural development. Despite the importance of choline as a nutrient, there is limited data on dietary intake in relation to needs, or dietary choline and its connection to human development.

Even among the most high-functioning individuals with autism, there is a wide range of variation in outcome. This study examined within-child factors, such as temperament, that contribute to variation in social outcomes, the most salient area of deficit among individuals with high-functioning autism (HFA). Approach/withdrawal tendencies and effortful control were used to predict variation in symptoms and social skills. A unique multi-method approach employing self- and parent-report measures, physiological assessment, and social observation was used to determine whether temperament could be us

Abstract:

Beck and Rector (2005) proposed a model of functional outcome in schizophrenia, suggesting the path between neurocognition and functioning is mediated by functional capacity and cognitive processes. These cognitive processes include defeatist performance beliefs, self-stigma and, most recently, metacognition, considered 'thinking about thinking'. Metacognition has been proposed to work in a hierarchy between the object- and meta-level, outlined within Nelson and Narens (1990) model, including several metacognitive components: metacognitive ability, experience and efficiency, connected by metac

The inability to make decent livelihoods continues to affect rural farmers, resulting in the scheme being unable to be fully-functional.

Abstract:

Recently Australian governments and the housing industry have argued that planning was, in part, responsible for low rates of housing supply growth during a period of strong population growth and high house prices. In response, this study explored how planning influences the decisions industry makes regarding the housing projects it is responsible for delivering. Thirty nine industry professionals from public, private and community sector organisations, and thirty six public sector planners from local, state and federal agencies, in NSW, ACT and SA participated, while the Sydney Growth Centres

Abstract:

The Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) movement has gained considerable influence in the healthcare industry, including psychotherapy. The American Psychological Association's (APA) official stance on EBP encouraged clinicians to used standardized outcome measures in routine practice in order to establish the efficacy of their interventions. Routine Outcome Measurement (ROM) systems were designed specifically to accomplish this purpose, and have been shown to improve client outcomes and provide valuable aggregate data that contributes to empirical literature. Despite this research and the endors

Abstract:

Reusability and reliability of published data are fundamental requirements for translating results from animal experiments into reliable clinical biomarkers. Current success rates for biomarker discovery are poor, and we need to develop new tools to collate, integrate and analyse datasets, such as knowledge bases, that would enable more effective translation from mouse to human or across disciplines. However, concerns about the validity, reproducibility and replicability of existing data must be addressed first. Here, I interrogate the quality of methods reporting in experimental models of inf

Abstract:

The unifying theme of this thesis is a series of research studies that collectively amount to a feasibility study for clinical trials of laryngeal reinnervation for the treatment of vocal fold paralysis. The question ‘Does laryngeal reinnervation or thyroplasty give better voice results for patients with unilateral vocal fold paralysis (UVFP)?’ remains outstanding; a question that ideally requires a randomised control trial. However, randomised control trials in surgery face inherent surgeons’ equipoise and recruitment issues that may lead to its failure. I performed a national survey of UK EN
