All great art is theft: remixing creative content in teaching digital media at university
Authors: Barrass Stephen 
Published: January 2022

The IP policy in Australian Universities is build on patenting and copyright. However, these legal frameworks are being swamped by the rising tide of social media and the associated practises of remixing and mashing up of digital assets that are now fundamental in media production. Recently, I explored Creative Commons (CC) licensing as an alternative approach to managing intellectual property in creative practice with students in Sound Design and Production at the University of Canberra. The students shared their own recordings with each other, and combined them with material from the internet, all under CC licensing on the ABC Pool online site http://www.pool.org.au for social media remixing. Together they collaboratively produced four Audio-only films of short stories by indigenous writer Barry Cooper that have been mixed with other CC licensed podcasts on the issue, and a recording of an initial presentation on this topic made to the Practice-led research symposium at University of Canberra in September 2009.
“Dispirited, often ineffectual, and in some respects corrupt”?: Re-assessing ‘the invisible hand’ of peer review
Authors: Jen Webb Donna Lee Brien, Sandra Burr, 
Published: January 2022

In an international academic research environment of ever-increasing scrutiny, a plethora of regulatory and evaluative frameworks permeates all aspects of universitybased research publication and funding. Peer review is at the centre of the quality control of scholarly publication. Yet while peer review has been under scrutiny in the sciences for decades, and especially in individual disciplines such as medicine and mathematics, in the creative arts and humanities there has been less recognition that peer review is only one, relatively recent system of evaluation, with strengths and weaknesses, and one to which refinements can be made. This article reviews the recent literature on peer review to interrogate peer review and its variations, with the intention of beginning a conversation on possible alternatives that might be employed in the creative arts.
Aesthetic tensions: evaluating outcomes for practice-led research and industry
Authors: Stock Cheryl 
Published: January 2022

This paper explores principles of contemporary aesthetics to suggest a basis for determining qualitative outcomes of artistic works in two contexts: the arts industry and the academy setting of practice-led research. Commonly articulated measures of quality—creativity and innovation—are questioned as mere rhetoric if not framed in specific ways in the two discrete settings. The paper also interrogates generally held assumptions that a longer time to develop work and greater periods of self-reflexivity will produce higher calibre artistic outcomes. The unease produced by apparent differences in qualitative outcomes between art works created in an industry setting and those created through practice-led research is analysed through three interconnected framing devices: intention, contextual parameters and criteria for evaluation, in conjunction with the relationships between the art work, the artist and the audience/viewer/listener. Common and differentiated criteria in the two contexts are explored, leading to the conclusion that innovation is more likely to be revealed in the end product in an industry context whereas in practice-led research it may be in the methodological processes of creating the work. While identifying and acknowledging that the two contexts encourage and produce distinctive qualitative artistic outcomes, both of value to the arts and the academy, the paper recommends ways in which closer formal liaison between industry artists and practice-led artists and supervisors might occur in order to ensure ongoing mutual influence and relevance.
What’s on (or off) the menu in school?
Authors: Leahy Deana 
Published: January 2022

This paper takes as its starting point an autobiographical account of food and schooling. It then questions the ramifications of recent policy imperatives and socio-political discourse that intervene in children’s food choices at school. The paper moves on to question the social, ethical and personal implications of the ‘war on obesity’ and how its contradictory aims both warn of the dangers of obesity as well as promoting the notion of children and young people having a ‘healthy body image’. The way in which this schizophrenic ‘war on obesity’ is waged at a political level is examined as well as the way in which the ‘war’ is fought within schools at the micro level. I deploy a post- Foucauldian understanding of governmentality and, specifically, utilise the concept of ‘biopedagogy’ to examine the work that is being done in the name of obesity prevention education in schools. The paper concludes by illustrating the urgent need for further work in this area and argues that this can be evidenced by the disjuncture between the way in which food is framed within schools and the media trends for ‘gluttony promotion’ reflected in shows like Masterchef Australia.
Writing a menu: the politics of food choice
Authors: Webb Jen 
Published: January 2022

This paper explores the cultural frameworks for the choices we make about what we eat, drawing on a range of contemporary theories including Pierre Bourdieu’s work on distinction, Claude Lévi-Strauss’ on the constitutive nature of food choices, and Michel Foucault’s notion that food and its selection is a matter of the care of the self, and hence carries an ethical imperative. Reading writers on food and our relationship to food—from Socrates to Princess Diana—I discuss the processes of selection involved in the production of a menu that, albeit unconsciously, operates as a system of distinction and individuation.

The Place and Role of Maqasid al-Shari'ah in the Ummah's 21st Century Civilisational Renewal
Authors: Bakar Osman 
Published: January 2022

The author of this article argues that - from the point of view of the ideals of human civilisation as set forth by the Qur'an - modern civilisation, which is largely of Western inspiration and making, has undergone a progressive inner decay while displaying marvels of scientific and technological achievements unmatched in human history. He sees this decay as referring to human degradation or dehumanisation. In order to address his concern, he argues for a restoration of a previously lost unity, balance and equilibrium to contemporary civilisation. He argues that Islam’s main contribution to a possible solution would be an approach based on maqasid al-shari'ah. He concludes by stating that an Islamic agenda of civilisational renewal (al-tajdid al-hadari) is ultimately congruent with civilisational renewal for humanity as a whole.
The Framework of Maqasid al-Shari'ah and its Implication for Islamic Finance
Authors: Dusuki Ayraf Wajdi , Bouheraoua Said 
Published: January 2022

This article aims at examining the concept of maqasid al-shari'ah of Islamic jurisprudence in order to appreciate its contribution toward more comprehensive, rational and realistic answers to contemporary financial issues and thereby to increase the awareness of the maqasid approach in structuring and developing Islamic finance products. For this purpose, the authors examine the literal and conceptual meaning of maqasid al-shari'ah and scrutinise its position in Islamic law. They also highlight the essential elements of maqasid al-shari'ah and explain how this approach may contribute to better solutions for various Islamic finance issues and challenges.
Three Relationship (Continued)
Authors: Winkel Eric 
Published: January 2022

We continue from this feature in the previous issue of ICR, which posited three relationships, human beings to human beings, human beings to the rest of the creation, and finally to the Creator. The first relationship is one of contract, the second of taskhir (to be defined below), and the third of covenant.
For the second relationship, the description is no longer ‘contract’ but taskhir. The term ‘subjugation’ in English is more accurately the antonym of taskhir. This shows us how far we have strayed. We think we own a house, but the house owns us. We forget that the word ‘mortgage’ means ‘gripped until death’. The American author and leading transcendentalist of his time, Henry David Thoreau (d. 1862), saw a contrast between those who had been subjugated to their possessions and those who were unencumbered.

Unpublished Mamluk Blazons and Mottos on Glazed pottery at the Royal Ontario Museum, Toronto, Canada
Authors: Moain Sadeq 
Published: January 2022

The Mamluk Sultanate of Egypt lasted from the overthrow of the Ayyubids until the Ottoman conquest of Egypt in 1517. The sultanate’s ruling caste was composed of Mamluks, Arabised soldiers of predominantly Kipchak Turk and Circassian slave origin. Though it declined towards the end of its existence, at its height the sultanate represented the zenith of Egyptian and Levantine political, economic, and cultural glory in the Islamic era. Its quasi multicultural character is thus also of relevance when considering the renewal of contemporary Islamic culture and civilisation.
This communication is focusing on sultans’ and emir’s blazons and mottos decorating some objects of the unpublished ROM collection and examining them as a line evidence for dating in their historic, art historic and hierarchal contexts.
Mohd Kamal Hassan, Voice of Islamic Moderation from the Malay World
Authors: Crow Karim Douglas 
Published: January 2022

This volume collects eleven essays produced over the past decade by ‘Distinguished Professor’ (the highest academic distinction in Malaysia - in Malay: Professor Ulung) Mohd Kamal Hassan, who took his doctorate in Contemporary Islamic Thought from Columbia University (1976). Professor Hassan’s intended audience is non-Muslims worldwide as well as in Malaysia. He states in his introduction: “We purposely chose to address and converse with the Western-educated and middle class non-Muslims who read and communicate in English, because they have been exposed the most to Western thought and the biased Western perspectives on Islam and Muslims.
On the Epistemological Scope and Some Contemporary Implications of the Qur'anic Notion of Ayat
Authors: Laude Patrick 
Published: January 2022

This paper argues that the cosmic signs or ayat repeatedly mentioned in the Qur’an can be understood, and indeed have been understood in classical Islam, as theophanic manifestations of His Being and Qualities; hence a metaphysical intuition of their divine roots goes beyond reason as mere decipherer of the wonders of structure and mechanics of the world. By contrast, literalist reformist and modernist discourses tend to shun the Quranic evidences of Divine immanence while emphasising exclusively the distance between God and His creation. This is why most contemporary Islamic apologists of modern science understand the world as a realm of cosmogonic “signatures” rather than one of metaphysical theophany. As a response to this type of views, it is argued herein that both the reductive and problematic treatment of the Qur’an as a kind of scientific manual and, at the other extreme, the denial of the conjunction between tawhid and the traditional Islamic concept and practice of science fail to do justice to the deeper layers of meaning of ayat. Only a consideration of a sense of the qualitative meaning of the cosmos through a restoration of a consciousness of Divine Immanence can provide an antidote to such reductive readings.

Segmentation of Liver Metastases Using a Level Set Method with Spiral-Scanning Technique and Supervised Fuzzy Pixel Classification
Authors: Smeets Dirk , Stijnen Bert , Loeckx Dirk , De Dobbelaer Bart , Suetens Paul 
Published: January 2022

In this paper a specific method is presented to facilitate the semi-automatic segmentation of liver metastases in CT images. Accurate and reliable segmentation of tumors is e.g. essential for the follow-up of cancer treatment. The core of the algorithm is a level set function. The initialization is provided by a spiral-scanning technique based on dynamic programming. The level set evolves according to a speed image that is the result of a statistical pixel classification algorithm with supervised learning. This method is tested on CT images of the abdomen and compared with manual delineations of liver tumors.

Published: January 2022

We present a nearly automatic tool for the accurate segmentation of vascular structures in volumetric CTA images. Its inputs are a start and an end seed points inside the vessel. The two-step graph-based energy minimization method starts by computing the weighted shortest path between the vessel seed endpoints based on local image and seed intensities and vessel path geometric characteristics. It then automatically defines a Vessel Region Of Interest (VROI) from the shortest path and the estimated vessel radius, and extracts the vessels boundaries by minimize the energy on a corresponding graph cut.We evaluate our method within the 2009 MICCAI 3D Segmentation Challenge for Clinical Applications Workshop. Experimental results on the 46 carotid bifurcations from clinical CTAs, compared to ground-truth genrated by averaging three manual annotations, yield an average symmetric surface distance of 0.83mm and a Dice similarity of 81.8%, with only three input seeds. These results indicates that our method is easy to use, produces accurate segmentations of vessels lumen, and is robust to intensity variations inside the vessels, radius changes, bifurcations, and nearby anatomical structures with similar intensity values.
MUSiiC ToolKit 2.0: Bidirectional Real-time Software Framework for Advanced Interventional Ultrasound Research
Authors: Kang Hyun-jae , Cheng Alexis , Boctor Emad 
Published: January 2022

Ultrasound (US) imaging is a popular and convenient medical imaging modality thanks to its mobility, non-ionizing radiation, ease-of-use, and real-time acquisition. Conventional US imaging is frequently integrated with tracking systems and robotic systems in Image Guided Therapy (IGT) systems. Recently, these systems are also incorporating advanced US imaging such as US elasticity imaging, photoacoustic imaging, and thermal imaging. Real-time synchronous data from multiple sources and bidirectional data communication are essential for integrating components in advanced US IGT research. We previously proposed the MUSiiC ToolKit [1], a modular real-time software toolkit, and OpenIGTLinkMUSiiC [2], a standard communication protocol extended from the OpenIGTLink library [3, 4]. However, this software framework only supported real-time synchronous data from at most two sources and unidirectional communication at the software module level and class level.In this paper, we propose MUSiiC ToolKit 2.0, an upgraded software framework for interventional advanced US research sup-porting bidirectional communication, real-time US data processing, and real-time data synchronization from multiple sources. MUSiiC ToolKit 2.0 consists of OpenIGTLink 2.0, OpenIGTlinkMUSiiC 2.0, MUSiiCNotes 2.0, and a collection of executable programs designed for US research. OpenIGTLink 2.0 is a standard TCP/IP-based protocol for the integration of medical imaging and IGT systems. OpenIGTLinkMUSiiC 2.0 is the upgraded version of OpenIGTLinkMUSiiC with new active multi-task classes, data interfaces for supporting bidirectional communication and parallel data processing. MUSiiCNotes 2.0 provides US research-oriented task classes, such as US data acquisition, beamforming, envelope detection, scan conversion, and data synchronization. Graphic User Interface (GUI) units are also available for the executable programs in MUSiiCNotes 2.0. Finally, we introduce advanced US applications based on this new software framework.

RANCANG BANGUN PEMBACAAN VOLUME AIR YANG DIKONSUMSI PELANGGAN PDAM MELALUI SMS
Authors: Purwantoro Jepri , Sollu Tan Suryani , Amin Nurhani 
Published: January 2022

The PDAM is still using an analog flow meter. For PDAM customers, information on analog flow meters is difficult to access and convert into payment amounts. With an analog reading system, the PDAM officer still records using the manual method of the customer's total water consumption data.
From the problems above, we need a digital reading system that can display customer water consumption and payment data that can be accessed by customers. The reading of the volume of water consumed by PDAM customers via SMS is a device designed based on the Arduino Uno microcontroller, equipped with the ability to monitor water usage in real time using SMS media.
The reading of the volume of water consumed by PDAM customers uses a water flow sensor that functions to read the flow of water that passes and provides pulse output. Arduino Uno receives pulse output from the water flow sensor which is then converted into a number that shows the number and tariff of water usage of PDAM customers. The LCD displays information on total usage, usage rates, time and date in real time. The SIM800L module sends SMS based on orders received from customers and PDAM officials. The results achieved in this study are the water flow sensor is able to read the amount of water consumption of PDAM customers with an average deviation of 0.034%. Tests show the results of payment conversions are in accordance with the PDAM payment model in Palu City.
The Impact of Blockchain Technology on Food Waste Management in the Hospitality Industry
Authors: Kopanaki Evangelia , Stroumpoulis Asterios , Oikonomou Maria 
Published: January 2022

This paper examines blockchain technology and food waste management in the hospitality industry. Food waste prevention is an important issue for hotels, as food consumption is difficult to estimate, often leading to huge amounts of waste. Food waste occurs at each stage of the food supply chain and represents a big percentage of hospitality waste. Although many studies examine the difficulties of food waste management, only a limited number of studies examine the stages of food waste inside food supply chains. The coordination of food supply chains can be supported by blockchain technology, which can break the supply chain into smaller parts and help managers to better mitigate food control. To address these issues, this paper conducts an extensive literature review, firstly to clarify the concept of food waste management in the hospitality industry and secondly to examine the benefits of the use of blockchain technology in food supply chains. Combining the obtained knowledge, this study aims to analyze the relationship between blockchain and food waste management practices. It also aims to examine how this combination boosts hotels to increase their performance and gain customers’ loyalty. Therefore, this paper analyses food waste management in the hospitality industry makes propositions on how blockchain technology could support food waste management in the food supply chain and forms the base for future research.
