Abstract

The Chirality of Dynamic Emergent Systems (CODES) framework offers a structural replacement for probability across physics, intelligence, biology, and societal systems. This paper introduces a living curriculum not as institutional pedagogy, but as a phase-aligned methodology for activating coherent intelligence in the post-probabilistic age. As probability collapses into artifact—revealed as incomplete phase detection—CODES reframes learning itself: not accumulation, but alignment; not mastery of symbols, but resonance with underlying structure.

This proposal outlines a resonance-first architecture for education, ethics, and epistemology: a 2035 model in which students become oscillatory systems tuned to phase continuity across mind, biology, society, and cosmology. Intelligence, redefined under CODES, is no longer stochastic reasoning within bounded systems—it is the capacity to sustain high-fidelity coherence across dynamically shifting conditions.

Structured resonance is not only the content of this new curriculum—it is the method. The mind does not “receive” knowledge; it enters a state of wave-coupling with structure itself. From daily life practices to formal fields like AI and cosmology, this framework cultivates a Singularity not of machines, but of conscious alignment—a unification event where intelligence recognizes itself not as a possession but as a waveform.

What emerges is not a new degree program, but a new species of thinking: resonant, ethical, non-fractured, and phase-aware. This paper maps the stages of resonance literacy, outlines the curricular infrastructure for the Academy of Coherence (2035), and closes with a call to live not as data processors, but as phase-locked overmen of a harmonic world.

description: A decreased quality of life was shown for numerous factors at the beginning of the pandemic. However, it is important to identify people who are at-risk for long-term impairments during the pandemic and its aftermath. Within this study, we aimed to investigate quality of life within a German population-based sample (2515 participants; 51.6% female; mean age 50.09 years) during the second year of the pandemic (2021). Our results showed that the majority reported no pandemic-associated change in quality of life at this state of the pandemic. Higher life satisfaction was associated with fewer mental health problems, no pre-existing somatic and psychiatric disorders, higher income, no income loss during the pandemic, living with others, and younger age. In contrast, in a high-risk group encompassing participants with lower quality of life, only mental health, pre-existing somatic disorders, and living alone had significant associations with quality of life, indicating a smaller scope for improvement in this high-risk group. Age, income loss, and depressive symptoms predicted a decrease in quality of life since the beginning of the pandemic. Our results highlight the importance of mental health, especially in times of pandemic, and underline the need for low-threshold mental health support.

description: Teacher education in Namibia is likely to involve more participants and more expenditure in the future. Analysis of the substance and character of teacher education programs as seen by the teachers are very important for the public. This study is a compilation of the thoughts of almost 70 teachers enrolled in a distance teacher education program. Their views are captured in conversations, observations, interviews and on questionnaires. Voice is an important aspect of the study, for both content and tone. The actual words of teachers have been quoted directly and at leng·�h, so that they may speak for themselves, as they are seldom able to do in many official documents. In an analysis of data certain aspects were closely analyzed to draw some conclusions. Teachers, almost without exception speak of the value of learning from other teachers in their study groups and gaining new insights and understanding of learner-centred approaches from attending face-to-face tutoring sessions. They also speak consistently about the opportunity the program provides for learning and sharing experience with other teachers. Of much concern to them are: study materials, support and encouragement from their school principals, critical evaluations and feedback from program administrators, the duration of the program and chances for further education. For me, the study has served as an insight into this reform effort and has led to a series of deeper questions about how teachers respond to initiatives designed to affect teaching practice.

Coherence and collective oscillations of a two-component Bose-Einstein condensate
Creators: name: Egorov, Mikhail
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Ultracold atoms and Bose-Einstein condensates represent a burgeoning and ever exciting area of research which has produced numerous breakthroughs in the last 15 years. Ultracold atoms at nano-Kelvin temperatures, isolated in atom traps from the hot, room temperature environment, exhibit ultimate quantum properties and can serve as pure samples for testing quantum mechanics and performing precision measurements. The research described in this thesis investigates, both theoretically and experimentally, the coherence and dynamical evolution of a two-component Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC). The studies are performed on the |1 › ≡ F = 1,mF = −1 › and |2 › ≡ |F = 2,mF = +1 › hyperfine ground states of a 87Rb BEC trapped on an atom chip. Conventional understanding has been that the fringe contrast in interferometric experiments on a BEC is limited by the mean-field dephasing due to strong interatomic interactions which lead to inhomogeneous collisional shifts. We have discovered using Ramsey interferometry a mean-field driven self-rephasing effect in a trapped twocomponent BEC. When combined with a spin-echo technique, we find that the selfrephasing leads to a coherence time of 2.8 s, the longest ever recorded for an interacting BEC. Secondly, we have developed a new technique based on periodic collective oscillations for precision measurements of the interspecies and intraspecies scattering lengths and derived an analytic mean-field theory for the phase and density dynamics in the twocomponent BEC. This technique has been applied to the measurements of the scattering lengths for the two components, |1i and |2i, in 87Rb with a precision of 0.016%. Additionally, the two-body loss coefficients for these states have been measured. Thirdly, we have developed and applied a new, interferometric method for calibrating the detection system, in order to determine the total atom number precisely for Ramsey interferometric measurements. The calibration coefficient is found to be in a good agreement with that obtained using a conventional calibration technique based on the critical BEC temperature. Finally, we have detected predicted RF-induced Feshbach resonances by monitoring changes in the two-body loss coefficients in the two-component BEC. Conventional Feshbach resonances have been used in many works to tune the s-wave interactions; however, there is no achievable magnetic Feshbach resonance for magnetically trappable states of 87Rb. The RF-induced resonances which we have detected can provide a way to tune the scattering lengths which is important for interferometry and entanglement experiments. The positions of the resonances may provide useful information for predicting the atomic scattering properties of 87Rb.

description: Concern is widely being published that the occurrence of toxic cyanobacteria is increasing in consequence of climate change and eutrophication, substantially threatening human health. Here, we review evidence and pertinent publications to explore in which types of waterbodies climate change is likely to exacerbate cyanobacterial blooms; whether controlling blooms and toxin concentrations requires a balanced approach of reducing not only the concentrations of phosphorus (P) but also those of nitrogen (N); how trophic and climatic changes affect health risks caused by toxic cyanobacteria. We propose the following for further discussion: (i) Climate change is likely to promote blooms in some waterbodies - not in those with low concentrations of P or N stringently limiting biomass, and more so in shallow than in stratified waterbodies. Particularly in the latter, it can work both ways - rendering conditions for cyanobacterial proliferation more favourable or less favourable. (ii) While N emissions to the environment need to be reduced for a number of reasons, controlling blooms can definitely be successful by reducing only P, provided concentrations of P can be brought down to levels sufficiently low to stringently limit biomass. Not the N:P ratio, but the absolute concentration of the limiting nutrient determines the maximum possible biomass of phytoplankton and thus of cyanobacteria. The absolute concentrations of N or P show which of the two nutrients is currently limiting biomass. N can be the nutrient of choice to reduce if achieving sufficiently low concentrations has chances of success. (iii) Where trophic and climate change cause longer, stronger and more frequent blooms, they increase risks of exposure, and health risks depend on the amount by which concentrations exceed those of current WHO cyanotoxin guideline values for the respective exposure situation. Where trophic change reduces phytoplankton biomass in the epilimnion, thus increasing transparency, cyanobacterial species composition may shift to those that reside on benthic surfaces or in the metalimnion, changing risks of exposure. We conclude that studying how environmental changes affect the genotype composition of cyanobacterial populations is a relatively new and exciting research field, holding promises for understanding the biological function of the wide range of metabolites found in cyanobacteria, of which only a small fraction is toxic to humans. Overall, management needs case-by-case assessments focusing on the impacts of environmental change on the respective waterbody, rather than generalisations. © 2021 by the authors

The record of episodic high-energy sedimentation in the western Oak Ridges Moraine, southern Ontario.

description: The 160 km long Oak Ridges Moraine in southern Ontario has been interpreted as an interlobate moraine, a subaerial braidplain-defaic deposit, a subglacially formed ridge, or a polygenetic landform of subglacial and proglacial deposits. Because of these significant differences a detailed sedimentological study is needed in order to provide an improved depositional model. This study of the western 40 km of the moraine in the Humber River watershed challenges the concept that it was deposited from seasonal meltwater discharges, climatic modulated ice-marginal fluctuations or in an interlobate position. Instead it is interpreted to have formed in response to changes in the ice-sheet during deglaciation associated with subglacial ponding, episodic and catastrophic subglacial jokulhlaup discharge and seasonal meltwater discharge. The moraine probably formed as the ice-sheet profile and glacial hydraulic system re-equilibrated to the presence of a thinned ice-sheet and a subglacial lake in the Lake Ontario basin. The Oak Ridges Moraine is interpreted to have been deposited in three discrete stages that record sedimentation from both high-energy and low-energy depositional processes. Stage I consists mostly of massive and diffusely-graded sand that is up to 50 m thick and forms the lowest tunnel channel infill. It was deposited rapidly from hyperconcentrated flows some distance downflow of a hydraulic jump that developed as jokulhlaup flow discharged from tunnel channels into a subglacial lake in the Lake Ontario basin. Low energy basinal sedimentation of Stage II is recorded by the upward increase in thin normally graded fine-sand, silt, and clay laminae forming varves. Stage III is characterized by rapid facies changes associated with subaqueous fan, esker and basinal sedimentation. Proximal fan sediment consists of heterogeneous gravel with sand intraclasts and planar-stratified gravel. Immediately downflow the supercritical to subcritical flow transition is recorded by steep-wailed scours and diffusely-graded infill. Farther downflow the subcritical flow region of the fan is dominated by planar cross-stratified medium sand, climbing medium scale cross-stratified sand and small-scale cross-laminated fine sand. Based on an incomplete verve chronology and general evidence of rapid and voluminous sedimentation it is estimated that the moraine was deposited over a short period of time, maybe as little as 100 years. This study provides an additional demonstration of the value of detailed sedimentological studies to advancing understanding of Laurentide meltwater and deglacial processes.

description: Birefringence of 3×10-3 is demonstrated inside cross-sectional regions of 100 µm, inscribed by axially stretched Bessel-beam-like fs-laser pulses along the c-axis inside sapphire. A high birefringence and retardance of λ/4 at mid-visible spectral range (green) can be achieved using stretched beams with axial extension of 30–40 µm. Chosen conditions of laser-writing ensure that there are no formations of self-organized nano-gratings. This method can be adopted for creation of polarization optical elements and fabrication of spatially varying birefringent patterns for optical vortex generation.
'Looking at the stars': TV3 adapts Lady Windermere's Fan

description: As any film student will tell you, in the last years of the 19th century the technical innovations of Etienne-Jules Marey, George Eastman, Thomas Edison and many others produced a scientific curiosity without any definite application, the motion picture. Like all new media, the device was greeted with suspicion by the champions of established forms. Such misgivings were compounded by the innovation's earliest application, projecting novelties and actualites for the lower class audiences of music halls, vaudeville theatres and other venues of ill-repute. Before cinema's narrative potential could be fully realised, the form was already dismissed as disreputable by many. Thus, to achieve greater legitimacy, the newly discovered storytelling medium was aligned with respected forms and canonical texts, with early film-makers adapting heavily from literature. Using cherished texts to trellis the fledgling forms' climb to cultural legitimacy, the literary clout of Shakespeare, Dickens, Zola and others enabled film-makers to attract middle class audiences to its newly constructed nickelodeons. This tactic of gaining cultural capital from adapting agreed 'classics' is not confined to cinema, but is replicated throughout the history of the arts; as Marshall McLuhan remarked, 'the 'content' of any medium is always another medium' (1964: 8). In 2009, the newest and most commercially driven of Ireland's national broadcasters, TV3 made a similar grasp at respectability, adapting Oscar Wilde's 'Lady Windermere's Fan' for its first foray into feature length production. 'Belonging to Laura', a contemporary reworking of the revered playwright's first stage satire, was part of the broadcaster's wider ambitions to rise above the mire of overseas imports and cheaply produced daytime shows for which it is known. In 2009 the changed ambitions of the oft-maligned station could be characterised by the play's most famous line, 'we are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars'.

description: As more sophisticated systems are being developed, powerful approaches for modeling their behavior and test their reliability are necessary. The research work in this thesis takes on the problem of building a Graphical Programming Environment that permits to create models of DESs in a timed temporal logic framework and simulate the DES models in real-time using an object oriented environment through the interconnection of visual symbols. A temporal logic framework is developed to write the formal models of the temporal references of DESs. This approach is enhanced by the inclusion of a global clock variable to add real-time properties to the formal specifications of real-time DESs. The interactive visual environment allows the programmer to activate graphical symbols by means of menu selections. The graphical symbols are grouped into classes which are eventually properly interconnected, parsed and mapped into source code written in the timed temporal logic language. A knowledge-based system is composed of knowledge databases (database of facts and database of rules), These databases, representing the system behavior, can be created using this tool, for which a reasoning mechanism is required. An inference engine is designed to interpret these knowledge databases. An OO programming language is used, Objective-C. It is used throughout the design, however, when using the tool, the user does not notice the underlying programming language, in other words, the programming language is transparent to the user. The Graphical Programming Environment designed in this thesis can be used to build the specifications of real-time DESs. Different knowledge databases have been created using this interactive tool for three examples to verify their behaviors, such examples are: The ABP communication protocol, the packet-switched communication protocol, and the telephone system.
La satisfaction des patients francophones traités en réadaptation à domicile dans l'Est de l'Ontario

description: Bien que les communautés francophones de l'Est de l'Ontario soulignent le manque d'accès aux services de réadaptation à domicile en français (Beaulieu, 2001; FCFA, 2001; Ouellet et Mayo, 1999), leur satisfaction des soins reçus reste largement méconnue. La mesure de la satisfaction, lorsque présente, est obtenue avec des méthodologies comportant des biais importants (Tardif et Tremblay, 2005). Aucune étude en Ontario n'a examiné le contexte qui gouverne l'établissement de leur satisfaction. Le but de ce projet de recherche à devis mixte est donc de mesurer, à l'aide d'un outil qui contrôle certains biais, la satisfaction des patients francophones traités en réadaptation à domicile dans l'Est de l'Ontario et d'analyser le contexte discursif d'où émergent ces explications. Dans un premier temps, la satisfaction est mesurée à l'aide du MESS chez 26 patients francophones des services de réadaptation à domicile de l'Est de l'Ontario. Dans un deuxième temps, les motifs et le contexte de la satisfaction de 12 de ces participants sont relevés à l'aide d'entretiens enregistrés. Les francophones recevant des traitements de réadaptation à domicile dans l'Est de l'Ontario sont généralement satisfaits des services reçus, malgré une insatisfaction au sujet de la langue de service. La relation du patient avec le professionnel de la santé, en concordance avec le discours de la promotion de la santé et du consommateurisme, est la variable la plus importante pour deux volets de la recherche. La propension à revendiquer les services de santé en français résulte de la conception du patient sur la santé et sur les services de santé qu'il reçoit; mais aussi des conditions de possibilités qui articulent les discours des patients francophones, telles que la pénurie des services de santé, la capacité du patient à parler l'anglais et les malaises reliés à l'incapacité et à la maladie.

description: Fungi are key players in the decomposition of leaves in freshwaters. This functional role is maintained by a specifically adapted fungal community. To assess the quantitative contribution of single fungal species to the process, it is essential to determine their abundance. Quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) is the prevalent method for this purpose, because it detects individual species of aquatic fungi in samples composed of multiple species. Quantitative PCR reactions are an extension of the traditional PCR method, which facilitates measuring the exponential amplification of a specific gene region via the emission of fluorescence signals in real time. This chapter describes how to design and validate a qPCR assay for fungal litter decomposers. The method uses a taxon-specific Taqman® probe labelled with a fluorescent reporter which hybridizes between two PCR primers. Due to the 5'-3'-exonuclease activity of DNA polymerase during PCR, the reporter dye is released and the emitted fluorescence is measured at 465-510 nm. Monitoring fungal taxa by qPCR assays opens excellent opportunities to gain new insights in microbial community ecology and ecosystem processes such as litter decomposition that are driven by fungi. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2020
Endgame: optimal selling strategies in online auctions

description: Online auctions have emerged as a major opportunity for individuals to start businesses or for established businesses to diversify and grow their markets. To-date, research interest has focused largely on the technological entrepreneur rather than the Internet based (cyber) entrepreneur. The aim of this study was to examine the behaviour of participants in online auctions, measuring their response to actual market conditions and rules. Do online markets react to quality uncertainly (Akerlof, 1970) in the same way as off line markets, and is the contention that Internet shopping emphasises cost reduction over brand-based differentiation (Pine and Gilmore, 1999) valid? The purpose of this paper is to present findings from an analysis of secondary data collected from online auctions. By better understanding buyer behaviour in online auctions, sellers will be able to select the best selling strategies for individual and/or unique businesses types.

description: AbstractIn a recent paper (2019 Phys. Rev. A 99, 053617), the total number of fermion pairs in a spin-balanced two-component Fermi gas of 6Li atoms was experimentally probed in the normal phase above the superfluid critical temperature, in order to investigate the sectors of pseudogap and preformed-pair in the temperature–coupling phase diagram. Here, we present a theoretical account of these experimental results in terms of an ab initio self-consistent t-matrix calculation, which emphasizes the role of the pair-correlation function between opposite-spin fermions at equilibrium. Good agreement is found between the available experimental data and the theoretical results obtained with no adjustable parameter.

description: The purpose of this research was to enhance student learning outside of the classroom through the creation and facilitation of a community of practice. Using the social constructionist and communities of practice frameworks and employing a modified collaborative inquiry methodology, the objective was to provide a non-formal learning environment (i.e., regular meetings) where students could openly and candidly engage in group discussions with their colleagues on topics related to their learning and education. The results - based on interviews with students and professors, meeting recordings, meeting notes, and persona' reflections of the researcher - report on a variety of different aspects of the research. First, the progression of the participant group in becoming a community of practice is described and evaluated. This is followed by an examination of students' perceptions of the utility of the non-formal learning environment as a forum for collaborative meaning-making. This non-formal environment is then compared and contrasted by the student participants with their formal, in-class learning experiences to understand how they complement each other. Next, the facilitation of the non-formal learning environment is investigated, looking specifically at students' perceptions of the differences in power dynamics between their relationships with professors and their relationship with me, in my multiple roles as a collaborative researcher, co-participant, group facilitator, resource person, doctoral student, and former student in their program. Finally the importance of having a physical place where non-formal learning can occur is discussed. Based on the findings, it is proposed that in order for students to achieve their highest potential in their educational endeavours, it is essential to provide them with the opportunity to engage regularly with colleagues and knowledgeable others in a facilitated, non-evaluative, non-formal learning environment. This research points to the Tact that despite professors' test efforts to create an ideal learning climate in and out of their classrooms, many students are not willing to risk appearing incompetent in front of them.

description: It is important to explore factors that could help or hinder one’s wellbeing following a suicide attempt, which could yield not only negative consequences but also posttraumatic growth (PTG; positive changes following a traumatic event). The present study used a multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) to test the relationship between disclosure, PTG, and posttraumatic depreciation among suicide attempt survivors when controlling for time since attempt and to test whether these effects remained after controlling for quality of support from family and friends. Suicide attempt survivors (n = 159) completed an online survey about their experiences. Increases in disclosure to family and friends but not to healthcare providers predicted changes in PTG. The effects of family disclosure remained even after controlling for quality of support. Disclosure to healthcare providers demonstrated some statistical effects on PTG, yet in the opposite direction and only after controlling for quality of support. The control variables—time since attempt and quality of support—were the only variables that predicted a change in posttraumatic depreciation. These findings suggest there is value in disclosing one’s personal story to family regardless of whether one receives supportive responses and that social support can impact one’s PTG.
Distributed mobile agents: Classification of models through the construction of topological information

Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Computer Science.

description: The goal of this thesis is to make a classification of the existing models for mobile agents and to study the relationship between them. To do that, we consider the problem of collaboratively constructing some topological information and we study this problem under a variety of assumptions on the capabilities of the agents and on the network structure. Distributed models for mobile agents differ from one another on a large number of parameters which can be grouped into two interdependent categories: structure surrounding the agents (e.g. structure of the topology, communication methods, etc.) and the capabilities of the agents (e.g. its a-priori knowledge, etc.). These parameters discern the common traits of the distributed environment problems and we use them to systematically classify the models used in the literature. More precisely, we study the problem of determining the size of the network in some common topologies (rings, meshes, tori) and, through this example, we compare the power of the different models.

description: In The Boat that Rocked (2009), Bill Nighy and his crew remained afloat to celebrate the joy of contemporary music by transmission through radio bandwidths available yet outside the usual parameters. Author Bill Nighy and crew thought 'outside the square' to keep full sail ahead. Similarly, universities together with their research academics and scholars need to ensure that they are adaptable and ready to meet any unforseen changes in the 'weather' and economic and political stormy seas as they rise. In the 21st century, we, crew members of the good ship Academe, need to prepare our lifeboats, train our crews and nurture our sense of adventure in readiness for the exploration of new horizons. We, ( the senior, mid, early career researchers and of course the research 'deck hands'; the PhD candidates and Post Docs), need to chart new courses and reach new destinations. No longer can we chart the known disciplinary courses, we must acknowledge an imperative for inter-disciplinarity wrought by changing technologies and modes of knowledge production. Global research connections are an increasingly important focus for all universities and governments seeking to best position themselves as providers of high quality research and partners in education and practice. Value is now to be recognised for research proposals and projects that enhance international co-operation and collaboration between individual researchers and discipline clusters across like-minded global partners. Swinburne's highly regarded writing courses, acknowledged by its recent role as part of exponential growth in the Open University Australia (OUA) units and courses highlights the potential for further connections and specialised courses and research. The opportunities for exploring uncharted research terrain and pedagogy within the Creative Writing discipline has never been more encouraged or supported under a [life] raft of new funding schemes and additional openings within previously limited and targeted schemes.

description: Given the absence of directly detected dark matter (DM) as weakly interacting massive particles, there is strong interest in the possibility that DM is an ultralight scalar field, here denoted as "fuzzy" DM. Ultra-diffuse galaxies, with the sizes of giant galaxies and the luminosities of dwarf galaxies, have a wide range of DM halo masses, thus providing new opportunities for exploring the connections between galaxies and their DM halos. Following up on new integral field unit spectroscopic observations and dynamics modeling of the DM-dominated ultra-diffuse galaxy Dragonfly 44 in the outskirts of the Coma Cluster, we present models of fuzzy DM constrained by the stellar dynamics of this galaxy. We infer a scalar field mass of ∼ 3 × 10-22 eV, consistent with other constraints from galaxy dynamics but in tension with constraints from Lyα forest power spectrum modeling. While we are unable to statistically distinguish between fuzzy DM and "normal" cold DM models, we find that the inferred properties of the fuzzy DM halo satisfy a number of predictions for halos in a fuzzy DM cosmology. In particular, we find good agreement with the predicted core size-halo mass relation and the predicted transition radius between the quantum pressure-dominated inner region and the outer halo region.

Of litter and letters
Creators: name: Hecq, Dominique
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: You do not have to be a cyber culture freak to decide that life is too short to accommodate the rows of books lining your bookshelves. Like the narrator in Gerald Murnane's 'In Far Field', you might fancy driving to a paper-manufacturing plant and dumping boxfuls of books down the chute (Murnane 1995). But you might already have done that, at home, as you are in the electronic agora described by William Mitchell, where even the notion of a human community is a matter of disk space, of 'writing computer code and deploying software objects to create virtual places and electronic interconnections between them' (Mitchell 1995: 160). For you, then, no doubt, books are old hat, and literature the dust on the hat. Now, if I have the gall to mention 'old' literature, you will surely tell me that it belongs in the dustbin of history. Some of my students have done so in much more colourful language. Still. I believe that even in the electronic age students of creative writing need to read broadly, not only on a synchronic plane, but a diachronic one as well, for as Alain Badiou reminds us, 'the subject of an artistic truth is the set of the works which compose it' (Badiou 2004). Is it technophobia on my part? Is it nostalgia? Does it matter? I protest all the same and wish to argue here in defence of books, literature, and 'old' literature in particular. For no writing occurs without reading. Besides, 'each new reading is cumulative and proceeds by geometrical progression: each new reading builds upon whatever the reader has read before' (Manguel 1997: 19 quoted in Brophy 2003: 36).
The Making of 'Annabelle Blue': A Peircean Semiotic Analysis of the Creative Process
Creators: name: Porteous, Carol
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2014
Subjects: Documentary
Autobiography
Memory
Peirce
Semiotic
Film

description: The paper discusses how the semiotic relationships involved in the process of creating a documentary, interconnect and affect the documentary's truth claims from the perspective of Peirce's semiotic theory. To do this, I created an autobiographical film called 'Annabelle Blue' and then analyzed the experience. The making of 'Annabelle Blue' involved a number of representations, each of which involved the interplay of iconic, indexical and symbolic elements and each of which had a substantial influence on how the process continued. It is my contention that documentary's truth claims must be evaluated in light of the assumption that documentary representation is a dynamic, creative process involving the jostling for position between semiotic aspects at every level.

Danger lurks around every corner': fear of crime and its impact on opportunities for social interaction in stigmatised Australian suburbs
Creators: name: Palmer, Catherine
name: Ziersch, Anna
name: Arthurson, Kathy
name: Baum, Fran
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This article examines some of the ways in which fear of crime impacts upon opportunities for social interaction among residents in stigmatised suburbs. As we explore in this article, neighbourhoods that are stigmatised by virtue of material disadvantage and poor reputations tend to be associated with a number of social problems, including higher rates of crime. This association with crime, our research suggests, has an impact on social interaction in these neighbourhoods. Specifically, fear of crime may make people less likely to draw on forms of social interaction which enable people to build trust through contact with their fellow residents. In developing this position, the article draws on qualitative data detailing residents' perceptions of safety in three neighbourhoods in Adelaide, South Australia, two of which are stigmatised as 'problem neighbourhoods'. The article concludes by considering the public policy implications that arise from the research.
Organizational culture as a controlling devise: acculturation process of the CEO at Harness Lanka Co. Ltd.
Creators: name: Hewege, C. R.
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This research in the form of a case study with grounded theory approach illustrates the culture building mechanism of the CEO and the management control function of that culture. Previous research has examined the role of organizational culture in management controls (for example, Etzioni,1961;Grugulis et al.,2000; Kunda, 1992; Ogbonna,1992). Aim of this paper is to replicate within Sri Lankan organizational context the findings of the previous research by examining the culture building process of organizational leadership and its influence on the effectiveness in establishing desired management controls. It further highlights acculturation (transfusing one culture to another) effort of the CEO in effecting behavioural controls in employees. The research site is a Board of Investment approved export-oriented Japanese investment that is managed by a Sri Lankan CEO. The case illustrates as to how elements of trust, self-control and voluntary control of employees ensure superior performance. The product is unique, as it requires extra effort of diligence and guilt-edged precision from employees. While maintaining these requirements, the employees are able to achieve performance targets easily. The management structure is also unique; CEO and workers, no managers are found in the hierarchy. This facilitates the CEO's direct involvement in building the culture that regulates behaviour of employees in the desired direction. In summary, the case illustrates the acculturation practice of the CEO in building a unique organizational culture that serves as a management control devise.
