Safety Vests for Jockeys: a Case Study of Primary and Dependent-Secondary Users Affecting the Evolution of Vest Design in the Australian Horse-Racing Industry SAFETY VESTS FOR JOCKEYS: A CASE STUDY OF PRIMARY AND DEPENDENT-SECONDARY USERS AFFECTING THE EVOLUTION OF VEST DESIGN IN THE AUSTRALIAN HORSE-RACING INDUSTRY Lisa Giusti Gestri 2019 A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Swinburne University of Technology Melbourne, Australia 2 This page intentionally left blank 3 “Riding in a race is a feeling like no other. Riding is of the mind, of the body and of the soul. Physically, it fills you with adrenaline and puts you in a heightened state – a zone. It also elevates your spirit, takes you to places that ordinary life is less likely to.” (Michelle Payne in Payne & Harms, 2016, p.85) 4 Abstract Using a case study method, this thesis presents new insights into key contemporary pressures that are restricting the update of the design of Australian jockeys’ safety vests. The number of female jockeys has grown considerably and there has also been a consistent rate of serious injuries to jockeys; yet, despite the rapid and successful development of smart wearable technologies in the sports and health sectors, safety vests still need improvement. The Australian standards in use (ARB 1.1998 and the European Standard EN 13158) have not been significantly updated since early 2000s. The study compares the participants’ perspectives and the emerging development of smart wearable technologies in order to consider the adequacy of current design standards to accommodate the next generation of safety clothing and equipment in the Australian racing context. A qualitative research approach was adopted, which involved ethnographic methods of participant observations, a focus group and semi-structured interviews which informed the study and were compared with the relevant research literature in the field. There is extensive scientific research into factors such as health, wellbeing, physiological and cognitive function and performance whilst there is a dearth of scientific literature specifically related to safety factors such as helmet and vest design. A user-experience (UX) framework guided the present study, which differs from the existing studies by investigating the user perspectives of male and female jockeys, as well as the role of the medical staff, on whose input future smart-vest design may be increasingly dependent. Australian male and female jockeys’ thoughts, along with perceptions from medical staff, have suggested future designs, generating original and significant findings that inform areas of change particularly needed in future standards. The main original contribution of the thesis was identifying the medical staff on the racing track could not be clearly classified within a common UX framework. They were neither secondary nor tertiary users of the vests, nor could they be classified unambiguously as stakeholders, since their role was to attend to the medical needs of the jockeys. Theirs is a highly-specialised role in respect of use, especially considering the potential for a new generation of 5 smart wearables to enhance vest design in its medical dimension. Accordingly, the thesis recommends a revised UX framework to accommodate design dependencies more clearly in terms of a suggested Dependency-Based User- Experience (D-UX) design. The evidence generated through this research provides a framework to assist the safety vests manufactures, those who take care of the standards and those who practice user centred /user experience design to better understand and articulate these products. In addition, it provides a foundation for further research in this field to explore the critical role of design-led innovation. 6 Acknowledgements There are many people I wish to thank as, without their support, completing this thesis would not have been possible. Foremost, I would like to express my utmost appreciation to my principal supervisor, Associate Professor Kurt Seemann, for his patience, intellect, guidance and dedication to my work. His guidance, encouragement and enduring support throughout my research study pushed me to strive for the best and to find appropriate research ideas to accomplish my scopes. He has been a great mentor for my professional career. In addition, I am extremely grateful to my associate supervisor, Associate Professor Carolyn Barnes, who has provided assistance, valued advice, guidance and support throughout the production of this thesis. My sincere thank goes to Dr Nicole Aimers, as a supervisor at the beginning of this project, for the support received. I am very thankful to this team for sharing their expertise in their respective fields to support this job. I wish to thank Swinburne University of Technology for my Swinburne University Postgraduate Research Award (SUPRA) scholarship, as well as for providing such a sociable and clever academic environment in which to work. Additionally, I wish to acknowledge the support received from Racing Victoria, Racing Australia (previously the National Office of Australian Racing and then the Australian Racing Board) and the Australian Jockeys’ Association with the National Jockeys’ Trust. Their help throughout will never be forgotten and, without the support of the racing industry, this project would not have been successful. A special thanks goes to all the jockeys and related medical staff who participated voluntarily in this study. Hence, this thesis is dedicated to all those people who work insanely to pursue their dreams, particularly to those who often are just simply called “jockeys”. In the end, thank you especially to Mr Kevin Ring (National Occupational Health and Safety Officer, Australian Jockeys’ Association) and to Mr Ron Hall (Jockey Wellbeing and Safety Officer, Racing Victoria) for their help, time, support and stories shared during this investigation. 7 Last but certainly not least, a sincere and heartfelt thank you to my beloved husband, Mr Damiano Gestri, for his encouragement and immense support throughout these years. Your continued and immeasurable love is the strength and reason of my life, along with our beautiful son, Dino. I wish to thank my family who are still in Italy, with their infinite amount of endorsement and love received during the duration of the candidature, for without it, this result would not have been possible. A special thought goes to my grandparents, Edda and Dino, who have made me the person I am: without them, this thesis would not have come about. 8 Publications associated with this research Giusti Gestri, L.

  • The Simplicity and Complexity, Accuracy and Fuzziness of Sport Technology Xiang Yunping Zhoukou Normal University,Henan,China,466000
    Advances in Engineering Research, volume 164 8th International Conference on Manufacturing Science and Engineering (ICMSE 2018) The simplicity and complexity, accuracy and fuzziness of Sport technology Xiang yunping Zhoukou Normal University,Henan,China,466000 Keywords: simplicity and complexity, accuracy and fuzziness Abstract. With the improvement of tennis technology in China, it is necessary to study the composition of its technology philosophically. This article attempts to make a preliminary discussion on some aspects from the simplicity and complexity, accuracy and fuzziness of natural dialectics category of tennis technique, to improve the knowledge of the nature and law of tennis technology from the philosophical point of view ,and also provide the philosophical basis for the improve the level of tennis. 1、The acquaintance of these two categories The development of tennis is a process from simple to complex, continuous improvement and perfection. From the development of tennis technology, the process has been experienced from simple technology to complex technology, from single tactics to comprehensive and changeable tactics. From the theory of tennis movement, it not only has experienced from simple to complex, from fuzzy to precise, but also experienced the process of describing tennis movement from complexity to simplicity, from precision to vagueness. In order to understand complex things, phenomena and processes, it is essential to break them down into simple elements or parts before they can be recognized. This is the simplicity principle. Because the elements of a complex system are not simple combinations, there are complex networks of interconnections and constraints. Therefore, you must be studied the integrity and complexity of the system.

The final authenticated version is available online at: https://doi.org/10.1007/s11192-021-03941-y A large-scale comparison of coverage and mentions captured by the two altmetric aggregators- Altmetric.com and PlumX Mousumi Karmakara, Sumit Kumar Banshalb, Vivek Kumar Singha,1 1Department of Computer Science, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi-221005, India 2Department of Computer Science, South Asian University, New Delhi-110021, India. Abstract: The increased social media attention to scholarly articles has resulted in creation of platforms & services to track the social media transactions around them. Altmetric.com and PlumX are two such popular altmetric aggregators. Scholarly articles get mentions in different social platforms (such as Twitter, Blog, Facebook) and academic social networks (such as Mendeley, Academia and ResearchGate). The aggregators track activity and events in social media and academic social networks and provide the coverage and transaction data to researchers for various purposes. Some previous studies have compared different altmetric aggregators and found differences in the coverage and mentions captured by them. This paper attempts to revisit the question by doing a large-scale analysis of altmetric mentions captured by the two aggregators, for a set 1,785,149 publication records from Web of Science. Results obtained show that PlumX tracks more altmetric sources and captures altmetric events for a larger number of articles as compared to Altmetric.com. However, the coverage and average mentions of the two aggregators, for the same set of articles, vary across different platforms, with Altmetric.com recording higher mentions in Twitter and Blog, and PlumX recording higher mentions in Facebook and Mendeley.

The purpose was to increase the knowledge of these processes and to analyse them from a validity perspective in order to contribute to the discussion of whether the “right” athletes are selected to participate in teams, competitions and games and whether the “right” athletes win. The rule and judging systems were investigated in the judged sports acroski and rhythmic gymnastics. Information was gathered through individual interviews with two judges, two coaches, and four elite athletes from each of the sports, and in addition to this the respective sport’s rule systems, judging manuals, meeting protocols and historical documents were studied.

New history. We understand the new history generally in the same way as the representatives of Marxist history. It is a history of establishment of new social-economic formation – capitalism, which, in difference to the previous formations, uses the economic impelling and the big machine production. The most important classes are bourgeoisie and hired workers, in the last time the number of the employees in the sphere of service increases. The peasants decrease in number, the movement of peasants into towns takes place; the remaining peasants become the independent farmers, who are involved into the ware and money economy. In the political sphere it is an epoch of establishment of the republican system, which is profitable first of all for the bourgeoisie, with the time the political rights and liberties are extended for all the population. In the spiritual plan it is an epoch of the upper mental, or causal (later lower intuitive) plan, the humans discover the laws of development of the world and man, the traditional explanations of religion already do not suffice.

The German market offers good opportunities for U.S. exporters of consumer- oriented agricultural products. In 2014, U.S. exports of agricultural products to Germany totaled US$ 2.5 billion. Largest segments were soybeans, tree nuts, Alaska Pollock, wine, beef, and other consumer oriented products. This report provides U.S. food and agriculture exporters with background information and suggestions for entering the German market. Post: Berlin Author Defined: Section I - Market Overview Germany has 81 million of the world’s wealthiest consumers and is by far the most populous and economically powerful of the European Union’s 28 member-states. Germany’s population continues to decline due to low birth rates and reduced immigration. It is estimated that 50 percent of its population will be older than 47 in 2025 and by 2060 the population will have decreased to about 65 million. The German economy has improved markedly in recent years. The economy took a serious hit during the economic crisis. Because of the country’s strong export dependency, GDP declined by more than 5 per cent in 2009. However, the recovery in 2010/11 was equally strong resulting in a V-shaped recovery as pre-crisis real GDP was reached again in the second quarter of 2011.
