Selling sex in Luganville: Ni-Vanuatu sex workers' experiences of, and limits to claiming their sexual and reproductive health rights in Luganville, Espiritu Santo, Vanuatu
Authors:   , Burry Kate Florence 
Published: November 2021

<p>This thesis is a foundational piece of research into ni-Vanuatu sex workers’ experiences within the sex industry of Luganville, on the northern island of Espiritu Santo in Vanuatu. This research identifies and unpacks ni-Vanuatu sex workers’ limits to claiming their sexual and reproductive health rights (SRHR), limits which are intricately associated with gender paradigms and hierarchies in Vanuatu. Those interviewed were male and female sex workers, an ex-sex worker, ‘middle men,’ who manage sexual transactions, a client and an ex-boyfriend of a local sex worker. Discussions focused on the technicalities of Luganville’s sex industry, as well as sexual and reproductive health and rights, and the extent to which sex workers are able to exercise agency during interactions with clients. Thus, this thesis reveals both the intricate workings of the sex industry in Luganville, and the considerable extent to which sex workers are limited in making decisions about their wellbeing, leading to significant accounts of abuse. The theory of ‘body work’ informs this thesis’ analysis of how ni-Vanuatu sex workers’ bodies are understood as a constitution of their self. This analysis reveals the extent to which sex workers are divested of personhood, thereby limiting their ability to have their rights as persons realised. This thesis also draws on the complex process of, as the author conceptualises, gender and developman in Vanuatu; that is, the ways in which Vanuatu has mingled with, co-opted, and rejected introduced commodities, ways, and beliefs in particularly gendered ways. In this way, this thesis is not only unique in investigating the sex industry in Luganville. This thesis also provides a deep analysis of sex work as a part of gender and developman in Vanuatu, and what that process reveals about sex workers’ agency in particular, and modern configurations of gender in Vanuatu in general.</p>
Messagerunner: Gamifying Behavioural Change Through Mobile Media
Authors:   , Cheng Xudong 
Published: November 2021

<p>This research proposes a design solution that integrates gamification and behavioural change theories into a mobile fitness application to promote and maintain physical activity for young adults. This research proposes that the usability of mobile apps on behavioural modification can be improved by integrating psychological interventional methods into the product design. The design output, Messagerunner, will provoke critical reflection about the future design of mobile fitness applications. During the design process, I identified and collected related theories to analyse existing precedents, and then extracted design methods and criteria. Various methodologies including literature analysis, contextual inquiry, and iterative prototyping support the design solution. Messagerunner seeks to balance the tedious exercise routine with the enjoyment from gamification. It uses widely accepted theories and methods on behavioural intervention to promote physical activity. This research was started by analysing the benefits and cost of behavioural intervention counselling and mobile persuasive technologies. Mobile applications have the benefits of being low cost and easy to access, compared to counselling. However, the existing applications have limits compared to professional intervention. Design solutions that combine intervention methods with persuasive technologies could lead to a better management for sedentary lifestyles. Messagerunner adopts activity promotion methods drawn from a range of theories. These includes the transtheoretical model (TTM), the theory of planned behaviour (TPB) , and flow theory. The design of the app is inspired by three precedents: Pokémon Go, Habitica, and Run An Empire. To test the method, the design process includes contextual inquiry, prototyping, and user testing. The design outcomes apply to users worldwide and reflect on the design of current commercial fitness apps. The outputs produce a concept and UI design for the final iteration of Messagerunner. This research will provide insightful perspectives for future designs for fitness applications.</p>
Ka ao, ka ao, ka awatea: Emergent Māori experiences of education employment transition
Authors:   , Mitchell Moana 
Published: November 2021

<p>The significance of genealogy on Māori transitions between education and employment is often not appreciated as a valid body of knowledge. This research seeks to consider a family history of Māori ‘education towards employment’ experiences and the ensuing conversations that have occurred as part of those experiences. Of major focus is the influence of state policy on systems that have educated Māori to become employable or unemployable, highlighting the often insidious nature of the underlying themes of assimilation, cultural adaptation and integration that have underpinned these policies. Kaupapa Māori theory is engaged as the methodological approach for this research, while a ‘hypothetical dialogue’, counter-storying and Critical Race Theory (CRT) form the theoretical frameworks for analysing the historical and contemporary narratives provided. What this enables is the positioning of a Māori lens with which to understand the inherent values, beliefs and experiential learning that emerge through using autoethnography and more specifically, indigenous autoethnography. This research details a series of conversations that portray the education-employment transitions of different generations of the researcher’s family. It is a highly personalised account shared to provide insight into the effect of policy on these transitions. Accompanied by scholarly commentary, the thematic material is derived from the collection and analysis of primary data such as genealogical and personal experience, which includes the analysis of family narratives and the observation of hui/meetings.1 Secondary data includes literature and review of policy, which provided a baseline for the research. The findings of the research establish deficit thinking as a distinctive, historic and recurring feature of systems that are supposed to educate Māori for employment, but which instead continue to educate and transition a significant number of young Māori into unemployment, underemployment and temporary employment arrangements. These findings contribute to the development of an initiative that supports Māori transitions between education and employment, and which looks to the design of a community hub dedicated to educating whole families at a grassroots level; specifically focusing on a group of parents and whānau studying towards an undergraduate qualification based at their local kura/school.</p>
From the Superatom to a Large Variety of Supermaterials: A Theoretical Study
Authors:   , Schacht Julia 
Published: November 2021

<p>Metal clusters have been a subject of interdisciplinary research for many years as they act as a bridge between atoms and solid-state materials. In particular, clusters that show distinct thermodynamic stability and unusual atom like behavior, with an electronic shell structure that exhibits a superatomic nature, have attracted considerable attention. The concept of clusters behaving as individual atoms and furthermore mimicking the chemistry of specific elements directly leads to the idea of using those nanoparticles as building blocks for new functional materials. Furthermore, it is interesting that one can change the properties of cluster assembled materials by solely changing the properties of the individual clusters involved. In this work, various factors affecting superatomic assemblies are identified and critically analyzed within the means of first-principles computations. The icosahedral gold cluster Au₁₃[RS(AuSR)₂]₆ has been chosen as a model system to study the tunability of the electronic structure using single atomic impurities. In this context the doped clusters were found to be tunable such, that they reveal atomic properties, e.g. electron affinities similar to individual halogen atoms. In addition, the choice of ligands protecting the clusters is evaluated regarding the stability of the whole cluster and the involvement of the ligands in creating the superatomic structure. The latter was found to be important when thinking of orbital overlap in superatomic assemblies. In a next step the knowledge gained is used to investigate cluster-cluster interactions and detect pairs of clusters that are good candidates to create new superatomic materials. Furthermore basic principles regarding cluster assemblies are established and partially tested in an experimental collaboration studing the structure of an Au₉(PPh₃)₈-C₆₀ assembly. Beyond the investigation of individual gold clusters and gold cluster materials, the electronic structure of binary solid state materials consisting of ligand protected transition metal-chalcogen clusters and fullerenes, as synthesized by Roy et al., is presented. This study shows an intermediate case of non-tunable clusters and furthermore displays the partial loss of the superatomic character of the transition metal chalcogen clusters due to charge transfer. An experimental collaboration conducted in cooperation with the research group of Prof. Beate Paulus in Berlin proceeds even further and investigates the absorption of water on non-superatomic aluminumoxo fluoride clusters.</p>
Identically Self-Dual Matroids
Authors:   , Perrott Alexander 
Published: November 2021

<p>In this thesis we focus on identically self-dual matroids and their minors. We show that every sparse paving matroid is a minor of an identically self-dual sparse paving matroid. The same result is true if the property sparse paving is replaced with the property of representability and more specifically, F-representable where F is a field of characteristic 2, an algebraically closed field, or equal to GF(p) for a prime p = 3 (mod 4). We extend a result of Lindstrom [11] saying that no identically self-dual matroid is regular and simple. We assert that this also applies to all matroids which can be obtained by contracting an identically self-dual matroid. Finally, we present a characterisation of identically self-dual frame matroids and prove that the class of self-dual matroids is not axiomatisable.</p>
Bach to Batch
Authors:   , Piątek Tomek 
Published: November 2021

<p>Ōtaki Beach is an example of a small town by the sea romanticised by many New Zealanders, yet it suffers for not being able to grow without resorting to greenfield development and subdivision. Its coarse urban grain and wide roads prioritise cars and promote a sprawl of low-density, impermeable suburban blocks. Still, the old houses have their charm. This thesis explores how we can grow the population of Ōtaki Beach without resorting to further greenfield development. Early design experiments centred on large multi-residential structures sited in surrounding landscapes. The final proposal though, developed in the context of adaptive reuse, focuses on exploring the potential of a single block that serves as an example. The design experiments led to three main strategies. Firstly, unification of existing outdoor spaces generates shared landscape. Secondly, transverse pathways add permeability and refine block grain. Thirdly, selective preservation, unification and vertical stacking of existing structures constitute the formal strategy that increases density without consuming more land and gives rise to a specific architectural expression. Final design achieves: 4-fold increase in density, taking it from 63 people/km² to over 252 people/km²; refined block grain and permeability, by growing the number of public pathways from zero to three; over 3000m² of shared landscape.</p>

Authors: Joseph Joseph Ugochukwu 
Published: November 2021

The paper deals with understanding the concept of language of mathematics for effective teaching and learning of mathematics in a School System. It as well looked at the causes of students’ failure in mathematics in internal and external examinations to include lack of understanding of mathematics language. The persistent poor performance of students in internal and external examinations in mathematics has become an issue of concern to Mathematics educators, and relevant stakeholders. Findings of recent research studies in mathematics education have identified inadequate understanding of mathematics language to translate word problems into mathematical form as one of the factors responsible for poor performance. Hence, this paper examined the language of mathematics and its understanding. Specifically, the paper discussed the algebraic language; the language of basic operations; the language of set theory; the language of functions; the language of relations; the logical language and the language of differential calculus. The paper further examined the usefulness of variables; difficulties in learning mathematical language and made some recommendations among many others to include that mathematics teachers should teach the mathematical language instruction in mathematics before proceeding to the topic proper to enhance better performances of students in mathematics.

L’impresa significante fra tradizione e innovazione
Authors: Bagnoli Carlo , Masiero Eleonora 
Published: November 2021

This study explores the idea of a significant business, framing it through the key concepts that define it and illustrating it through a case study that narrates the evolution of a century-old company. Born as an intellectual response to the economic and financial crisis of 2008, the significant business is conceived as an entity capable of enduring over time through the creation of value and its distribution within the community in which it operates. The significant business should be also aware of its own identity and of the need to innovate itself over time considering the synergies and the collaborations that the territory offers, to continue to create wealth. This contribution is part of a series of works that, resulting from numerous action-research projects coordinated by Professor Carlo Bagnoli, have seen as protagonists the companies and their strategic innovation. The starting point of many of these projects is the Manifesto of the Significant Company (Bagnoli et al. 2015), which aims at imagining a business model able to explore and innovate the company to increase its competitiveness, and also to restore meaning to the company itself, through the definition of its own identity. Contributing to previous works, this book explores the idea of significant enterprise by adopting a business and a historical perspective. The first part of the book deals with the business perspective, to introduce the value model commonly used in action research studies undertaken by the spin-off Strategy Innovation of Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, and to describe the specific model of a significant business. The second part of the book narrates the story of a centuries-long business, Barovier&Toso, exploring its evolutions. Focusing on the different perspectives that shaped the key concepts and narrating the path followed by a centenary company, this work hopes to shed further light on this fascinating theme together with the reader.

Abstract
This research discusses the social status of society at Highbury in the era of the 19th century. In this research the writer using the qualitative method to analyze social status that reflected in Jane Austen’s Emma and apply the theory of Swingewood (1972), that is the sociology of literature or the sociological approach. The result of this research that obtained the social status is still upheld by the community as a culture that they must preserve. When choosing a life partner, it is often determined by the background of both parties. If both parties do not have a match in their background then their wedding will not be permanent and happy. Because a person's social status is made the key as a part of a relationship, both in love and marriage. Marriage and love relationships are motivated by social class and work. Meanwhile, based on this culture it leads to the opinion that the upper class is not worthy of having a love relationship with the lower class.

Published: November 2021

Abstrak - Penilaian kinerja perusahaan sangat membantu manajemen dalam menilai sejauh mana yang telah dilakukan perusahaan dalam pencapaian strategi dan visi misi perusahaan. Kinerja perusahaan dapat dinilai menggunakan metode balanced scorecard dimana metode ini menggunakan empat perspektif untuk menilai kinerja perusahaan yaitu perspektif keuangan, perspektif pelanggan, perspektif internal bisnis, dan juga perspektif pembelajaran dan pertumbuhan. Metode balanced scorecard tidak hanya menilai aspek keuangannya saja tetapi juga aspek non-keuangan. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menilai kinerja perusahaan sebelum dan semasa terjadinya pandemi covid 19 dengan metode balanced scorecard pada perusahaan yang bergerak di sub sektor farmasi yang terdaftar di Bursa Efek Indonesia (BEI). Penelitian ini menggunakan data sekunder yaitu laporan keuangan dan laporan tahunan enam perusahaan sub sektor farmasi tahun 2019 dan 2020. Berdasarkan pengolahan data hasil menunjukkan bahwa dari empat perspektif yang digunakan, perspektif keuangan mengalami peningkatan karena banyaknya kebutuhan akan obat-obatan dan alat medis sehingga peluang perusahaan untuk mengoptimalkan penjualan produknya. Pada perspektif pelanggan hasil yang didapat menunjukkan peningkatan karena produk yang diproduksi dapat dirasakan manfaatnya oleh konsumen sehingga penghargaan yang didapat juga semakin banyak. Perspektif internal bisnis didapati penurunan pencapaian karena sulitnya perusahaan membuat produk baru dimasa pandemi covid 19 dan lebih berfokus kepada penyediaan alat kesehatan dan juga produksi vaksin. Pada perspektif pembelajaran dan pertumbuhan mengalami penurunan dikarenakan sulitnya perusahaan melakukan pelatihan secara tatap muka sehingga kesulitan untuk memaksimalkan pelatihan karyawan.
