Australia's halal meat supply chain (AHMSC) operations: supply chain structure, influencing factors and issues
Creators: name: Zulfakar, Mohd Hafiz
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: Australia has the reputation as the world’s top exporter and producer of high quality and safe red meat. Australia also has been producing halal meat since the 1960s and has been the preferred source of halal meat from both Muslim and non-Muslim countries. Despite that status, little study have been undertaken to examine the halal meat supply chain operations in Australia, a predominantly non-Muslim countries.

This study aims to understand and provide insights to the Australian halal meat supply chain (AHMSC) operations. It explored and examined factors and issues that influence the current operations of halal meat supply chain in Australia. Using a single-case study approach, this study interviews thirty-one participants from various stakeholders. Additionally, some on-site observations and relevant documents were reviewed.

Two different yet interrelated supply chain structure exist in AHMSC operations - the domestic and export market of the Australian halal meat. The export market supply chain is heavily regulated by the federal government with the assistance from the accredited halal certifiers. The opposite prevailed in the domestic market supply chain. There is no legal provision pertaining to domestic halal meat operations and the supply chain is loosely structured. Stakeholders have to rely more on their trust and supplier selection to ensure the meat that they procure in the domestic market is truly halal.

The ten factors that the stakeholders believed have influence the current AHMSC operations: halal program, halal understanding, halal governance, segregation, halal certification, people, trust between the stakeholders, supplier selection, religious and social responsibilities, and consumer awareness and obligation, have been found to have different impact in both domestic and export supply chain. Two factors, segregation of halal meat and people, have been identified as the most common factors among the stakeholder groups. Additionally, institutional pressure, especially that come through coercive forces, surrounding the AHMSC operations do affect and shape the way the stakeholders act within the supply chain particularly in their role in ensuring the protection of halal status, or halal integrity of the meat.

description: Probabilistic model of damage calculation for aviation composite materials is proposed, the main task of which is physically substantiated modeling of stress dependence on deformations under the influence of external loading, distinguishing between the formed elastic and plastic deformation, as well as irreversible cracking and material destruction. For this purpose, the calculation of the probabilities of the destruction of bonds between the material elements, as well as the equivalent energy of deformation is made. Comparison of the results of numerical calculations with experimental data shows principal applicability of the proposed model.
Centring the female: the articulation of female experience in the films of Jane Campion
Creators: name: French, Lisa
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: This thesis is a study of female authorship that examines the feature films of Jane Campion in order to determine how her preoccupation with the cinematic articulation of 'female experience' is expressed in her films-whether female experience can be aestheticised, and to discover whether her gender can be discerned through the films of a woman director.

The exploration of these ideas entails a review of the feminist thinking, methodologies and epistemologies that are relevant to cinema, and that examine relevant theoretical positions within feminism and theories of cinematic authorship. The key lens employed here for theorising Campion's cinema is that of postmodern-feminism. As an approach, this allows an understanding of difference rather than 'Otherness', and an enquiry into gender that is neither essentialist nor constructionist, but facilitates critical thinking about both positions.

The central argument of this thesis is that Campion's film practice functions as an investigation into gender difference, how women and men live together in the world-experience that world, and are engendered as female through historic, psychological and cultural experiences. This thesis therefore argues that Campion's aesthetic and perspective is not only feminist, but also, female, and feminine, and her work a cinematic articulation of female experience.

Framework for re-visioning design in Iraq
Creators: name: Saad, Qassim
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: Design in Iraq is the result of a rich mixture of many cultural, geographical and even climatic elements which have shaped this land from ancient times. Adapting man-made objects to cultural and ecological influences has provided various creative solutions from architecture, the crafts, fashion, calligraphy, furniture, food and many other fields. In the Arabic language, the word for design is tasmem. As a noun or a verb it means visualising, arranging or planning, and is traditionally associated with artistic skills that add aesthetic and ornamental compositions to man-made objects to strengthen their commercial, moral or spiritual values.

Since the modernisation began in Iraq in the late 1940s, there have been practical moves centred on the importance of its cultural heritage to create a contemporary design industry in Iraq. Many of these attempts occurred in art and architecture, and to a limited extent in wood work and furniture design.

This study attempts an interdisciplinary approach in introducing this field of research. Any description of the dimensions and structure of the framework of design in Iraq will never be accurate without engaging with Iraqi designers. This study strove earnestly for an effective engagement with these designers, searching for a rich experience with them, as related in the early chapters, to investigate the practice of design and discover how the Iraqi designer community is beginning to engage its knowledge and expertise with Iraq’s current design infrastructure. The realisation of this vision was disrupted by the lack of publications and material resources, as well as intensive security restrictions which prevented the researcher from being in Iraq for long enough to meet the needs of the study.

The study was designed to achieve its objectives by examination and explication of these main themes:
1. Review the project of modernity in Iraq. Search for insights into the roots and complexities influencing contemporary design thinking as a socio-cultural phenomenon.
2. Survey arguments and issues from the broader social sciences that have shaped the theory and practice of design in the context of development for developing countries. Trace its growth into a political ideology dedicated to developing countries since the post-war period.
3. Incorporate analytical reviews of Iraqi experience with material objects. Tackle the wider dimensions of the relationship between humans, objects and design.
4. Investigate the practice of design in Iraq and seek insights into the designers’ search for a new direction to meet the country’s future demands.

Proposing a framework of design of Iraq is one of the main objectives of this study. Drawing from insights in the early chapters, which broadly review and analyse the framework’s main elements, the study builds an understanding of their inter-relationships. This understanding produces an abstract, representative composition of the shape of ‘design in Iraq’.

description: The Lorentz force acting on an electrostatically charged spacecraft may provide a useful thrust for controlling a spacecraft\'s orbit and attitude control. In this work, the Lorentz force has been developed for two terms, a) first term which experienced with magnetic field in the case of absolute charging of the spacecraft; b) the second term which is experienced with electric field in the case of electric charging of the spacecrfat. The orbital perturbations of a charged spacecraft by Lorentz force in the Earth\'s magnetic field, which is modeled as a titled dipole is investigated using the Gauss variation of the Lagrange planetary Equations. The perturbations in the orbital elements depend on the value of the charge to mass ratio (q/m). The dynamical models of the Relative motion are developed that leads to approximate analytical solutions for the motion of a charged spacecraft subject to Lorentz force. The modeled derived when the chief spacecraft\'s reference orbit is either circular or elliptical, and the deputy spacecraft is capable of established electrostatic charge. The numerical results show that the effects of the Lorentz force on the spacecraft are to change in track position or/and plane orbit. The results investigated the approximation of the trajectory an estimate the reachable of the Lorentz spacecraft for short time intervals with different ration (q/m) for different orbits in LEO.
Efficacy of brief alcohol interventions in an Australian tertiary education setting
Creators: name: McPherson, Peter
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: Published alcohol intervention research with Australian university populations is limited, despite data indicating high levels of harmful consumption amongst this group. This two-stage study sought to describe the prevalence of harmful alcohol behaviours and attitudes towards various alcohol treatment modalities amongst a large Australian university sample, and compare the efficacy of a brief face-to-face and online intervention in influencing alcohol related variables. In Study One, 1046 participants, comprising 580 females (M = 23.42 years, SD = 6.11) and 466 males (M = 23.47 years, SD = 6.69) completed questionnaires assessing harmful alcohol use and attitudes toward a range of various alcohol treatment modalities. Data showed a high proportion of harmful alcohol use, and an overwhelming endorsement of brief face-to-face and anonymous online treatment approaches. Participants, who volunteered for Study Two and recorded a total AUDIT score ≥8, were then contacted for involvement in Study Two.

In line with international intervention research, and participant modality preferences noted in Study One, Study Two utilised an RCT design to compare the efficacy of two brief alcohol interventions. Eligible participants (n = 90) were randomised to receive the brief face-to-face intervention (BASICS), brief online intervention (e-CHUG) or to a wait list control condition. All participants completed the Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test (AUDIT; Babor, Higgins-Biddle, Saunders, & Monteiro, 2001), Readiness to Change Questionnaire (RTCQ; Heather, Gold, & Rollick, 1991) and Rutgers Alcohol Problems Inventory (RAPI; White & Labouvie, 1989). Intervention groups completed additional measures of peak alcohol consumption, weekly alcohol consumption and estimated BAC. Assessments were conducted at baseline, 1-month and 3-month follow up.

Neither the BASICS nor e-CHUG group demonstrated a significant change in total AUDIT across the three assessment periods. Conversely, the control group demonstrated significant reduction in total AUDIT score from baseline to 3-month follow up. The BASICS group demonstrated significant reductions in peak alcohol consumption and mean weekly consumption from baseline to 3-month follow up, whilst the e-CHUG group did not evidence any significant change in these variables across the same period. Neither group demonstrated significant changes in peak BAC across the assessment period. Explanations for the reduction in harmful drinking behaviours demonstrated by the control group are proposed, along with a detailed discussion of the apparent superiority of BASICS over e-CHUG in influencing alcohol variables in this study. The author proposes the utilisation of the stepped care model, incorporating both online and face-to-face intervention, in Australian universities.

A conceptual framework for a geo-knowledge tool: applying contemporary and collaborative web concepts to assist park management
Creators: name: Elsley, Monique
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: A park management organisation has a large data archive comprising data relating to its parks that have been collected over the years. It is argued that the data archive is not used as effectively as it potentially could, and data are not readily available when needed.

This research project investigates if access to and utilisation of the park management data archive can be enhanced using the concept of a geo-knowledge tool. The tool, a digital information or knowledge system, is a means to access and present the data in part based on the data’s inherent geographic attributes. It considers notions of emergent participatory, collaborative and geographic Web developments. In particular, the research project builds on the Web 2.0 notion that user contributed information has the potential to enhance existing information. Therefore, in addition to the existing data archive, the geo-knowledge tool also provides access to data not traditionally relied upon by the park management organisation. These alternative data comprise public data repositories that are made available via the Web by organisations and individuals, professionals and amateurs alike, as well as data being contributed by users of participatory Web tools or participants of collaborative projects.

The research project develops a conceptual geo-knowledge tool and a demonstration prototype to evaluate the theories being applied. The question that is addressed is if the contemporary Web concepts can be applied to develop an effective or enhanced system for data access, to assist with decision-making and improve park management. It is further assessed if the alternative data sources can complement the existing park management data and potentially fill information gaps, and thus benefit park management decision-making.

A review of the prototype by stakeholders reveal that the proposed tool has the potential to become an effective method to find and access a broad range of data, comprising traditional and non-traditional data.

description: This work is about the process of design, manufacture, assembly and static test of a liquid engine developed by researchers of the Proyecto Uniandino Aeroespacial (PUA) at the Universidad de los Andes. The engine SUA II works with liquid oxygen (LOX) as oxidizer and gasoline as fuel. This engine has an expected (and demonstrated) thrust of almost 2 kN, a burn time of 25 seconds and it was designed to be used in a vehicle of two stages (AINKAA VI rocket). This rocket has the objective of reach an altitude of 14 Km above sea level or more, being the first stratospheric vehicle of his type at the near region. The SUA II could be classified as a low cost rocket engine due to its construction budget, inferior to USD 10.000, and it is expected to be the future engine base for other vehicles designed to reach higher altitudes.
A quantitative approach to assessing the effectiveness of catchment management for the improvement of drinking water quality
Creators: name: Cinque, Kathy
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: Access to safe water is essential to maintain life. An understanding of all the potential contamination risks and an ability to manage those risks is imperative in the supply of water for human consumption. Having multiple scientifically validated barriers to contamination is the most widely accepted management technique for drinking water protection. Catchment management is a barrier that aims to control contamination at the source thereby reducing the reliance of removal of contamination by treatment. Buffer strips are one such measure. They are known to be effective at minimising waterway pollution by reducing the momentum and magnitude of surface and sub-surface runoff thereby aiding infiltration into the soil column and promoting entrapment of pollutants. This process has been well researched in terms of constituents such as sediments and nutrients. In a drinking water catchment, however, the ability of these buffer strips to trap or remove human infectious pathogens is of most interest as they are the greatest risk to consumers.

The aim of this research is to determine a way of predicting the decrease in risk to public health due to the implementation of buffer strips in an agricultural catchment and to validate their effectiveness. A drinking water catchment with an extensive amount of water quality data and an active catchment management program was chosen as the study catchment. Detailed statistical analysis was performed to evaluate the spatial and temporal changes in water quality and to determine trends. Additionally the processes most affecting water quality were established.

To enable prediction of any changes a model that specifically simulated pathogen fate and transport through a catchment was necessary. A simple lumped conceptual model, EG, was chosen. EG was not, however, specifically developed to determine the effectiveness of buffer strips and therefore modifications to the pathogen transport processes were required. Calibration, validation and uncertainty analyses were undertaken.

This research shows that it is possible to quantify the benefits of buffer strip implementation to final drinking water quality. Validation of the barrier’s effectiveness will allow the comparison of investing in catchment management to treatment costs and an assessment of the risk reduction benefits of both.

description: Relight capabilities are a design factor for aeronautical engine manufacturers. Numerical simulation of engine ignition is a powerful tool to understand the main mechanisms driving the complex transient phases from the spark ignition to the flame stabilization on all fuel injectors of the combustion chamber. The work presented here focuses on the spark ignition phase during which a transition from a plasma to a first flame kernel occurs. Analytically Reduced Chemistries (ARCs) making the coupling between low temperature chemistry -combustion- and plasma kinetics are used in Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) of discharge in pure air and of propane-air ignition sequences in an academic anode-cathode configuration. Results are compared to experimental data showing a good qualitative behaviour. Discrepancies on temperature evolution microseconds after the beginning of the discharge in pure air are certainly due to the energy deposition model calibration that should be improved. Taking into account the plasma chemical kinetics is found to change drastically the peak temperature because of the dissociation and ionization reactions which are endothermic. The ARC methodology appears as a promising approach to couple low and high temperature kinetics, which play a key role in the early times of ignition.

Case for political decentralisation in Nigeria
Creators: name: Umaroho, Bowstock
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: This thesis examines the process of gradual political centralisation in Nigeria from the colonial period until today. It argues that since the formation of Nigeria in 1914, there has not been an effective state administrative structure in the governing of the nation. Pre-independence Nigeria (1888-1960) was characterised by a flawed structure put in place by the British colonial administration and the changes implemented by the successive military regimes and associated constitutional developments that followed independence have not changed the underlying problems established during this period. Traditional approaches to political decentralisation in developing countries generally involve delegation, devolution and deconcentration. However, the role of traditional institutions in a decentralised governance structure is not always made explicit. Rather the potential roles of trad itional institutions are assumed to be part of the local administrative system (e.g. local governments). As a result, they are defined as part of the governance process. This limits applicability of these models to a country as ethnically diverse as Nigeria. The central argument put forward in this thesis is that an ideal decentralised administrative system is practicable in Nigeria only if the traditional institutions actively participate in the governance of the country. However, a review of the administrative system for the period 1914-2005 shows that the powers of the traditional institutions have been eroded over time. The thesis concludes by proposing a model for decentralising the complex administrative structure of Nigeria through 'institutional reconciliation'. The model follows previous approaches, but proposes a separation of the traditional institutions from both the administrative and governmental units (federal, state and local government). The thesis argues that the legitimacy of policies unde rtaken by any of the government units rests on these policies being consistent with ethnic, religious and cultural beliefs. It proposes one means of putting in place such a form of 'institutional reconciliation' while highlighting the potential problems that may also result.

description: We present photometric and spectroscopic data sets for SN 2020pvb, a Type IIn-P supernova (SN) similar to SNe 1994W, 2005cl, 2009kn and 2011ht, with a precursor outburst detected (PS1 w-band ~ -13.8 mag) around four months before the B-band maximum light. SN 2020pvb presents a relatively bright light curve peaking at M_B = -17.95 +- 0.30 mag and a plateau lasting at least 40 days before it went in solar conjunction. After this, the object is no longer visible at phases > 150 days above -12.5 mag in the B-band, suggesting that the SN 2020pvb ejecta interacts with a dense spatially confined circumstellar envelope. SN 2020pvb shows in its spectra strong Balmer lines and a forest of FeII lines with narrow P Cygni profiles. Using archival images from the Hubble Space Telescope, we constrain the progenitor of SN 2020pvb to have a luminosity of log(L/L_sun) <= 5.4, ruling out any single star progenitor over 50 M_sun. All in all, SN 2020pvb is a Type IIn-P whose progenitor star had an outburst ~ 0.5 yr before the final explosion, the material lost during this outburst is probably playing a role in shaping the physical properties of the supernova.

description: The optimization of the aircraft route taking into account wind uncertainty is addressed in this work. The wind uncertainty is obtained from ensemble weather forecasts. A structured airspace is considered, which is defined by a set of waypoints and a set of allowed connections between each pair of waypoints. The analysis is focused on a cruise flight composed of several segments connecting certain waypoints. The optimal route is seen as a path in a graph; therefore, it is obtained by applying a Dijkstra algorithm, following a stochastic approach. Results are presented for a model of B767-300 aircraft, for a given trans-oceanic route, considering a real ensemble weather forecast, and with the objective of minimizing the average total fuel consumption.
Search engine optimisation using past queries
Creators: name: Garcia, Steven
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: World Wide Web search engines process millions of queries per day from users all over the world. Efficient query evaluation is achieved through the use of an inverted index, where, for each word in the collection the index maintains a list of the documents in which the word occurs. Query processing may also require access to document specific statistics, such as document length; access to word statistics, such as the number of unique documents in which a word occurs; and collection specific statistics, such as the number of documents in the collection. The index maintains individual data structures for each these sources of information, and repeatedly accesses each to process a query.

A by-product of a web search engine is a list of all queries entered into the engine: a query log. Analyses of query logs have shown repetition of query terms in the requests made to the search system. In this work we explore techniques that take advantage of the repetition of user queries to improve the accuracy or efficiency of text search. We introduce an index organisation scheme that favours those documents that are most frequently requested by users and show that, in combination with early termination heuristics, query processing time can be dramatically reduced without reducing the accuracy of the search results.

We examine the stability of such an ordering and show that an index based on as little as 100,000 training queries can support at least 20 million requests. We show the correlation between frequently accessed documents and relevance, and attempt to exploit the demonstrated relationship to improve search effectiveness. Finally, we deconstruct the search process to show that query time redundancy can be exploited at various levels of the search process. We develop a model that illustrates the improvements that can be achieved in query processing time by caching different components of a search system. This model is then validated by simulation using a document collection and query log. Results on our test data show that a well-designed cache can reduce disk activity by more than 30%, with a cache that is one tenth the size of the collection.
What makes a responsible leader? - An empirical analysis of how personality characteristics affect leadership behaviour

description: This master’s thesis contributes to the ongoing discussion on responsible leadership and its antecedents by empirically analysing the relationship between various traits and responsible leadership effectiveness. In a quantitative experimental research study, the participants (62 men and 32 women) first filled out an online survey assessing their gender, age, and major field of study as well as their score in the personality dimensions honesty-humility, openness to experience, empathic concern, perspective taking, and holism. Afterwards, their second-to-fourth digit ratio was measured, and men had the option of providing a saliva sample which was used to determine their testosterone level. Finally, the participants’ performance in the leadership roles professional, facilitator, citizen, idea-provider, and total was assessed with a think-aloud protocol. By performing a multiple linear regression analysis, I found that empathic concern positively influences the roles facilitator and total, holism the role citizen, and perspective taking the role idea-provider. I also found that men and psychology students are less likely to perform well in the role idea-provider and that openness to experience negatively affects facilitator.
