description: W naszym projekcie przeprowadziliśmy analizę kondycji finansowej trzech firm działających na polskim rynku. Ocena ta polega na wykorzystaniu modelu finansowego opartego na równoważnym rozwoju. Pierwsza z analizowanych firm należy do sektora organizacji non profit, druga to dosyć prężnie działająca instytucja finansowa, trzecia zaś nie należy do żadnego z wymienionych sektorów. W dalszej części pracy policzone zostaną wskaźniki finansowe, które z założenia mają ułatwić wymienionym firmom zarządzać kondycją finansową oraz prowadzić stabilność finansową. Wskaźniki te zostały podzielone na cztery kategorie, a mianowicie: kategoria ogólna, natychmiastowa, krótkookresowa oraz średniookresowa. Ostatecznie dojedziemy do wyznaczenia miary PHI Zietlowa. W ostatniej części naszego projektu zajmiemy się krótką interpretacją otrzymanych wskaźników. In our project, we conducted an analysis of the financial condition of the three companies operating on the Polish market. This evaluation involves the use of a financial model based on equivalent development. The first of the analyzed companies belong to the sector of non-profit organizations, the second is quite a thriving financial institution, while the third does not belong to any of these sectors. The rest of the work will be calculated financial ratios, which are intended to facilitate listed companies to manage financial condition and result in financial stability. These indicators are divided into four categories, namely: in general, immediate, short-term and medium-term. Finally we get to designate measure PHI Zietlow. In the last part of our project we will brief interpretation of the obtained indicators.
Automatic Detection of Market Manipulation in Cryptocurrencies

description: In recent times, Blockchain and Cryptocurrencies have gained significant attraction by investors. The top 10 cryptocurrencies account for about 82% of total market capitalization. Hence, the majority of cryptocurrencies (to date, there are more than 9,000 cryptocurrencies) can be considered to have a relatively low market capitalization. This makes them prone to pump and dump, a type of market manipulation where organizers mislead the public to artificially increase the price of a coin and profit from it. This type of manipulation has been there well before cryptocurrencies; it arose in par with the stock market. However, it became more pronounced over the past years with the introduction of cryptocurrencies, which are still largely unregulated. The objective of this thesis is to develop an anomaly detection system to flag cryptocurrency pump and dumps. Specifically, we use Bitcoin data on the day before the pump to train an LSTM Autoencoder. With the training results, a threshold is set and the model is tested on unseen test data. To test the performance of the model, we crawled known pump groups on Telegram and created a dataset with details for each of the pump. We achieved an overall precision of 78%, recall of 83% and F1 score of 80%. The results of this research—which improves over the state of the art—, other than being interesting on their own, can help to detect and prevent pump and dump fraud in the cryptocurrency realm, hence ultimately increasing their adoption.

Segmentation of Sonicated Blood Cells and Ultrasound Contrast Agent Microbubbles from Time-Lapse Microscopic Images
Creators: name: Mohammed, Aliy
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2018

description: Blood cells and ultrasound contrast agent microbubbles behave strangely when subjected to an ultrasound field. They migrate towards the nodes of the ultrasound wave and form circular patterns. However, differentiation between blood cells and ultrasound contrast agent microbubbles can be easily determined via time-lapse analysis of the pattern formation. Ultrasound contrast agent microbubbles migrate towards the wave nodes very quickly and form tightly packed clusters. In contrast, formation of tightly packed clusters in the case of blood cells is unlikely based on the sonophore model theory of cells. Moreover, the interaction of the microbubbles with the blood cells and the surrounding medium is not fully understood. To study the behavior and interaction of sonicated blood cells and microbubbles on the time-lapse microscopic images, there is a need to define a contour around the cells and the microbubbles. To do so, first, the microbubbles and the cells should be segmented from the rest of image content. In this regard, this thesis devised a scheme that combines features of the Laplacian of the Gaussian detector and a modified form of the Contrast Limited Adaptive Histogram Equalization (CLAHE) technique for effective analysis of time-lapse microscopic images. The scheme is tested on three datasets (one synthetic and two real) and its subjective and objective performance is found quite pleasing. Absence of ground truth for the real datasets makes the evaluation of the segmentation scheme merely subjective. Objective evaluation is only performed on the computer-simulated time-lapse images. The average segmentation sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of the proposed algorithm are valued around 0.96, 0.91 and 0.95 on the synthetic dataset out of a unit scale, respectively. The result generated could be a crucial input for effective particle tracking and sizing studies.

Esakiozephyrus icana

description: Esakiozephyrus icana (Moore, 1875) (Dull-green Hairstreak)
Current known occurrence until this reporting: India (Himachal Pradesh to Uttarakhand, Arunachal Pradesh), Nepal, Bhutan (Varshney & Smetacek 2015; Kehimkar 2016; Singh 2016; Singh & Sondhi 2016; van Gasse 2017; Sondhi & Kunte 2018; Anonymous 2021).
 Remarks. On a bright sunny afternoon of 1.ix.2020, we observed a couple of relatively small dark brownish butterflies nectaring on the floral spikes of Persicaria hydropiper (Delabre, 1800) along a mountain trek towards Sunbain, upper Bhaderwah (32ᴼ53′41″ N - 75ᴼ46′40″ E, c. 3246 m), district Doda. The species was photographed and later identified as Esakiozephyrus icana (Moore, 1875) the Dull-green Hairstreak (Fig. 2) after consulting the keys and field guides (Kehimkar 2008; Varshney & Smetacek 2015; Kehimkar 2016; Sondhi & Kunte 2016, 2018), and the online web resources (https://www.ifoundbutterflies.org/ sp/3002/Esakiozephyrus-icana). The species rare in India (Kehimkar 2016; Sondhi & Kunte 2018), has its western extent of occurrence restricted to Himachal Pradesh (Evans 1932; Sondhi & Kunte 2018; Anonymous 2021). Our sighting of E. icana is first record of the species from the UT of Jammu and Kashmir. As the species is legally protected in India under Schedule II of the Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972, the conservation of its habitat is necessitated.

A tale of giants stealing from dwarfs
Creators: name: Forbes, Duncan
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Cold Dark Matter simulations predict 10-100x more dwarf satellite galaxies than are observed. Some of these 'missing satellites' may have been accreted, along with their globular clusters (GCs), by giant galaxies (Cote et al. 1998). But examples of dwarfs in the early stages of disruption have remained elusive. However images of the Tadpole galaxy by the ACS on HST contained a background spiral with a candidate 'disrupting dwarf' (ie two tails were seen corning from the dwarf). A 1hr Keck spectrum of the spiral (V = 18) and dwarf (V = 23) confirmed the physical association and gave a redshift of 0.15. We fit Sersic profiles to the surface brightness and found the dwarf has properties similar to a dE galaxy with blue central colors (Forbes et al. 2003). Comparison with simulations suggests the original dwarf had a disk, ie a dIn galaxy (Mayer et al. 2001). As it orbits, tails of stars are pulled off by tidal forces and the galaxy is accreted due to dynamical friction. As the starburst fades and it continues to lose stars it may resemble a dSph galaxy. The disrupted stars eventually add a metal-poor population to the giant galaxy halo. We would also expect the dwarf to contain some 25 GCs but these would have V > 29 and hence too faint to be seen in the ACS image. This observation illustrates the transformation of a dIn to dE and possibly dSph via tidal stripping, and may help explain the dwarf galaxy morphology-density relation. Dwarfs can be transformed from one type into another if they get too close to a giant.

When social anxiety and narcissism coincide: an exploration of narcissistic social anxiety subgroups
Creators: name: Williams, James
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This thesis developed an argument for the existence of narcissistic social anxiety subtypes. Across two studies, four socially anxious subgroups were identified. Of these, three were associated with elevated narcissism. Two subgroups were characterised by covert narcissism, and the third by both overt and covert narcissism. Individuals in the three narcissistic social anxiety subgroups were found to be more maladjusted than socially anxious individuals without elevated narcissism, reporting more shame, depression, anxiety, and stress. The identification of these subgroups provides a better understanding of the complex nature of social anxiety, and has implications for the treatment of social anxiety.
Performance Assessment and Upgrading of Walga Micro-Hydro Power Station
Creators: name: Bekele, Teklu
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia

description: This research deals with the performance assessment and upgrading of Walga micro hydro power plant owned by government and fitted with cross flow turbine. Walga site is located in Oromia Regional State, South West Shoa zone, Wonchi Woreda Azer_Keransa Kebele. Walga site is located in a remote area. Currently, even though the village has the opportunity to get power from micro hydro power plant that was installed in 2014 by the Ministry of Water, Irrigation and Electricity, still the plant lacks reliability, sustainability and safety problems. The key reasons for the performance assessment and up grading of the existing Walga micro hydro power station were to know the efficiencies (turbine and unit efficiencies) and to determine the electrical power output of the plant. And also to know the power demand gap between supply side from the existing micro hydro power generator and demand side obtained from the village power demand assessment during the field survey. Therefore, performance assessment and testing, power need assessment of the community, determination of the power gap between the supply side from the existing Walga micro hydro power station and demand side were the purpose of this thesis work. In this study, performance assessment of existing Walga micro hydro power station was carried out and performance indicators were identified. Based on the performance test results and the village power demand assessment findings, the power demand gap of Walga village was known., Two options were proposed to meet the power demand gap of the village. The first option is developing a PV/micro hydro hybrid power supply system and the second option is developing micro hydro resource existing at the site. System designing and modeling by using Hybrid Optimization Model for Electric Renewable software for the two options were done and the simulation results were presented. Based on the Hybrid Optimization Model for Electric Renewable software simulation results, the performance and economic evaluations of each system were presented. Option I is characterized by as initial cost 8,719,300 Birr ($379,100), operating cost 276,690 Birr ($12,030), total NPC 12,618,812 Birr ($548,644) and cost of energy 8.70/kWh Birr (0.378$/KWh). The second option (Option II) is characterized by initial cost 1,357,000 Birr ($59,000), operating cost 54,510 Birr ($2,370), total NPC2,125,269 Birr ($92,403) and cost of energy1.47Birr/kWh (0.064$/KWh). Finally, the performance evaluations and economic evaluations made for the option I and option II. From the evaluation results, option II was selected as better option to fill the power demand gap of Walga village. Key Words: Assessment, Micro-hydro, Hybrid System, HOMER

Blonde wood among the gum trees: Scandanavian influences in furniture design in Australia, 1930-1975
Creators: name: Jackson, Simon
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: A discussion of Scandinavian influences in furniture design in Australia from 1930 to 1975. After World War II, Scandinavian and Finnish craft and industrial design practice provided an alternative to the dominant British and American hegemonies of taste, particularly in furniture. Whereas Australians often perceived British design to mean 'heritage' and American to denote 'modern,' Scandinavian design was viewed as meaning 'naturalness,' with an emphasis on the crafts that resonated with local designers and consumers. The writer goes on to examine the furniture design situation in Australia prior to Scandinavian influence, the emergence of Scandinavia as a world design 'centre,' how its influence was spread in Australia, and the resulting Australian-Scandinavian furniture hybrids.
Public Health Interference in Individual Behavior: the Islamic and the Secular Ethical Discourses Through Tobacco as an Applied Example

Year: 2024
Subjects: classificationCode: 50
subject: Philosophy and religious studies

description: Public health policy today subsumes individual behavior within its scope of interference. This conflation of the public and private creates tension between the limitations that individual freedom imposes on the state’s coercive power on the one hand, and the state’s obligation to promote public interest that can conflict with individual freedoms on the other. This thesis examines the ethics of such interference in the Islamic discourse in comparison to the secular discourse through taking tobacco use as an applied example. In terms of ends, the secular public health discourse justifies interference on grounds of the pursuit of physical health of discrete individuals or the pursuit of social wellbeing. Tobacco control as public health practice is largely driven by physical health as an end, translates that into an end of controlling prevalence, and thus focuses its ethical deliberations on the means of such control. Unfortunately, the contemporary Islamic discourse falls short of critically deliberating the ends of interference, where the existing attempts are mostly led by health authorities and thus adopt physical health as a justification without delving into the underlying Islamic conceptualization of humans. The few exceptions, undertaken by philosophers and Islamic scholars, attempt to examine the human nature but fail to develop a theory on public interference. Accordingly, with respect to tobacco control, the contemporary Islamic discourse uncritically adopts physical health and prevalence control as ends, and as a blanket justification for the enterprise. This renders any deliberation more of a religious endorsement of the enterprise and its strategies rather than an attempt to establish a position informed by the Islamic worldview. Fortunately, the works of earlier scholars from the times of introducing tobacco into the Muslim world provide insight that can inform a reformed approach to examining health as a value and as public interest, and thus better define the potential and limits for state interference. This engagement should extend beyond a fiqhī ruling on behaviors, to tap into virtue ethics and moral refinement, and into political treatment through siyāsah sharʿiyyah. With tobacco being an applied example, this reform may be extrapolated to other forms of behavior provided the unique attributes of tobacco use, such as addiction, are recognized.

description: This paper presents a sequentially operated multirate filter bank for optimal reconstruction. It is shown that the proposed filter bank has a structure equivalent to a sequentially operated periodic filter. The proposed filter bank consists of an analysis filter and a synthesis filter, either of which contains a single-input single-output (SISO) FIR filter with periodically time varying coefficients and a sequentially operated multi-channel sampling scheme. The sequentially operated multirate filter bank can offer considerable improvements in computation and implementation. It also enables linear system methods to be applied to the the filter bank design for optimal reconstruction.

Assessment of The Hydraulic Performance of Existing Water Supply Distribution System: A Case Study on Finote-Selam Town, Amhara Region, Ethiopia
Creators: name: Yitayal, Asmare
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia

description: This thesis focused on assessment of the hydraulic performance of existing water distribution system: a case study on Finote-Selam town, Amhara region, Ethiopia. The main objective of this study is to check the hydraulic performance of Finote-Selam town water distribution system by assessing demand and production of water, losses of water, hydraulic parameter. Both secondary and primary data sources were used for this study. Primary data was collected through a face-to-face interview, field survey, and photographs of relevant sites and infrastructures. The secondary data was collected from design document, literatures, journals and reports. Moreover, to analyze existing water distribution system a model was developed by using Water CAD software. The model can be used to identify the zone of higher and lower pressure junctions and velocity though the pipe. The model simulation run was performed for peak and low demand scenarios to analyze the distribution system. For calibration of water distribution system, pipe roughness was considered as the primary calibration parameter in this study. The analysis shows that the current total domestic water demand in town was 1536.75m 3 /day, the water supply coverage was 82.4 % and average per capital domestic water consumption was 37.9 l/c/day. Hence, this result indicates there is a gap between demand and supply. The water loss of the town was 32.18% from the total water production. The apparent loss covers 9.18% while, the real losses covers 23% of the total losses. Simulation results for maximum and minimum pressure and velocity different scenarios were used as a base tool to evaluate the hydraulic performance. Modeling results showed violation of maximum and minimum pressure and velocity criteria at different junctions and pipes. After modifying the existing water distribution system 92.18% of the junctions are in the recommended pressure range and 75.46% of the pipes are in the recommended velocity range. Generally the result of the analysis shows that the overall hydraulic performance of water distribution of the town was poor, which is reflected by low water production rate, low water consumption, and high level of Non-revenue water, low service coverage, not velocity and pressure in permissible range. Therefore, it is significant to rehabilitate and improve the water distribution system capacities, establishing pressure zone, increase pumping rate and drilling additional borehole. In addition providing more attention to water losses reduction policies and strategies are vital for remedial measures.

Personal and interpersonal skills development in an accounting degree: a case study of accounting education
Creators: name: Whitefield, Despina
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This thesis examines the perceptions of lecturers, graduates and employers of personal and interpersonal skills development in an accounting degree at Victoria University. The development of personal and interpersonal skills in students in higher education has been the focus of discussion amongst accounting educators, accounting practitioners and the accounting profession for many years. There is a general consensus on what skills are necessarily sought to ensure success within the accountancy profession but very few previous studies on how those personal and interpersonal skills are being developed. This research study presents a research framework which emphasises the complex interrelationships between an accounting curriculum, accounting lecturers, accounting graduates and employers of graduate accountants and their perceptions of how personal and interpersonal skills are developed. A case study approach, combining archival, qualitative and quantitative methods, is used to investigate how a Bachelor of Business Accounting degree in one Australian university facilitates personal and interpersonal skills development. The case study results indicate that the curriculum, as the vector for skills development, has both explicit and implicit references to skills outcomes. Graduates' perceptions of many of the personal and interpersonal skills considered in this study are closely related to the curriculum findings. However, there appears to be a lack of convergence between lecturers' perceptions, the curriculum and graduates' perceptions. Employers generally agree that graduates display most of the personal and interpersonal skills, albeit at a low level, in the workplace. There are curriculum implications arising from the results of this research for accounting academics who design and develop accounting programs where the value of graduates' personal and interpersonal skills are acknowledged. As a first step, academics need to improve accounting curricula by explicitly integrating personal and interpersonal skills in their subjects. Communicating to students the explicit nature of personal and interpersonal skills development and making them aware is the next step.
Derogation of Human Rights: The Case of Article Four – ICCPR and Its Application in Qatar

Subjects: classificationCode: 48
subject: Law and legal studies

description: As of this writing, there are 172 countries around the world that have ratified and acceded to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR). The ICCPR, a multilateral treaty that obliges State parties to respect the civil rights, has been ratified in Qatar since 2018. This signals Qatar’s commitment to implement the obligations outlined in the treaty, with some reservations. One of the reservations that this paper is very interested in is the provisions outlined in Article 4, which allows the party States to take measures to temporarily derogate some of their obligations towards the ICCPR in times of public emergency. This paper studies the extent by which party States can derogate from the ICCPR treaty with strong focus on the measures that party States must take to make their derogation from the obligations legally acceptable. A specific case that this paper is interested is the CoViD-19 situation where Qatar as well as the rest of the world had to exercise their rights to derogate their obligations outlined in the ICCPR treaty. In effect, this paper differentiates between legally acceptable derogation from the treaty and the reservations by the states.

Empirically measuring the QoS sensitivity of interactive online game players
Creators: name: Armitage, Grenville

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: It is widely assumed that highly interactive online games require a minimum quality of service (QoS) from the network, which suggests that offering premium IP service quality for game players may be a new source of revenue for Internet service providers (ISPs). In order to offer such services, ISPs must know the upper bounds of the performance metrics players are willing to tolerate. This paper reports on our preliminary attempts to experimentally establish performance bounds for different types of online games. First we placed a group of players in a controlled network environment, where artificial network delay and loss is introduced during their games. We logged objective measures (game performance indicators from the game server) and used a questionnaire to establish a subjective measure of user perceived quality as a function of different network conditions. Our paper concludes with an analysis of our results and a comparison with previous work based on indirect measurements.

description: This paper presents a method to assess the financial condition of the three types of institutions in 2009-2011 using the model of John Zietlowa (FHI - Financial Health Index). The analysis has been subjected to economic units belonging to different sectors: non-profit organization, financial institution and a company that does not belong to any of the above mentioned industry. The data used to calculate the index are drawn from the financial statements of the analyzed companies. FHI model allows management to better manage the financial condition of the company and ensure its stability. Additionally, it enables to take appropriate steps in areas where negative results are.
