Year: 2015

description: Plant regeneration was achieved using somatic embryos obtained from the Vitis vinifera cvs Sugraone, Crimson Seedless and Don Mariano. White somatic embryos, 1.5-3 mm in length, were cultured on embryo germination medium with or without IAA (10 μM) + GA3 (1 μM). Germinated embryos showed 5 different morphologies, (1) one cotyledon, (2) two cotyledons, (3) three cotyledons, (4) trumpet-like and (5) fused cotyledons before transfer to half strength MS medium to obtain plants. The conversion rate was higher when somatic embryos were germinated in culture medium with IAA and GA3. Embryo morphology also had an effect on plant regeneration, somatic embryos with developed cotyledons (one, two or three) showing a higher conversion rate (57.8-70.2 %) than those with abnormal or no cotyledons (36.2-36.3 %).

description: This paper examines the relationship between the total shareholder return (TSR) and performance of Australian banks over the period 2001-2010. In particular, it investigates whether returns of banks in the stock market can be explained by changes in their performance. First, we use a weighted financial ratio-based Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) model to estimate the performance of banks. We then regress changes in performance against the total shareholder returns to investigate their relationship. The results indicate that changes in performance are reflected in TSR. That is, well-performed banks tend to generate more return for their stockholders.

Secrobat: Secure and robust component-based architectures
Creators: name: Vorobiev, Artem

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Software systems, component-based systems (CBS) in particular, have a lot of vulnerabilities that may be exploited by intruders. Companies spend much time and money to 'patch' them up. It is partly due to the fact that a systemýýs security features are often added to the system after its functional requirements have been addressed. As such, system security features are not systematically designed into the system, and consequently the system has inherent security 'holes'. Therefore, there is a strong need for a systematic engineering approach to developing secure and robust systems, especially distributed systems, by considering functional and security requirements at the same time. In particular, these systems should be highly adaptive and reconfigurable in order to resist different types of attacks and failures. This paper introduces a reference architecture, called Secrobat, for creating secure and robust CBS. It has several key features including defensive components and the adaptive and reconfigurable architecture with the hybrid peer/super-peer structure. The reference architecture is illustrated with an example gaming system.

description: Introduction: The situation of COVID-19 pandemic is becoming more complex. The research institutes should focus on the most important challenge related to this outbreak at the national level. We aim to realize this scoping review to map publications on COVID-19 in Vietnam in order to guide research priorities and policies in the country. Methods: This study was conducted at the Thai Binh University of Medicine and Pharmacy, from May to August 2020, according to the guidance for conducting systematic scoping review. Results: A total of 72 studies met the inclusion criteria. The most frequent publications were original articles (27.8%), followed by letter to editor/correspondence (26.4%). According to the research priorities for COVID-19 set by the WHO, 41.7% studies focused on control and prevention of COVID-19, but none of studies on personal protective equipment or protocol for healthcare workers’ safety were conducted. 12.5% studies carried out a thorough investigation into epidemiology of the COVID-19 pandemic in Vietnam. Virology and genomics, natural history of the virus and its transmission in Vietnam were described by 18.1% papers. Only one study was conducted in terms of development for candidate therapeutics. Conclusion: We call for national investigation on treatment against SARS-CoV-2 and protocol for medical staff protection. The government and academic institutions should work in collaboration with international stakeholders, including the WHO, to combat together the COVID-19.

Diamonds, pearls and Kimberley girls: without shame in the north-west
Creators: name: Rennie, Ellie

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: A distinct Australian identity is developing in the west. It comes from the Pilbara as a product of the mining industry, along with iron ore and our 'comparative advantage'. By propping up Australia's economy in hard times, the mining industry is shaping notions of what this land is good for. It's a strong and masculine image: almost half the population of the Pilbara is employed in mining and construction, and 85 per cent of the workforce is male. That new romantic image of the west was depicted in the cinema success of 2011, partly funded by mining royalties: Red Dog without a master, a wanderer and a loyal mate to homesick miners, misfits and those trying to make an honest buck. This is an Australia where the land is gutted by big machines, where sweat and red dirt paint white men a violent colour. Politicians tell us that this is how Australia survives - it's what keeps us strong while Europe and America teeter on the precipice of financial collapse. The mining companies tell the Traditional Owners that this is the best hope for Indigenous advancement, as though it's this or nothing.

Subjects: Education

description: This article discusses the DESCRIBE strategy that is designed to increase the accessibility of text-based primary sources for students with disabilities and other students who struggle with reading comprehension, making connections with background knowledge, and analyzing and synthesizing content information. DESCRIBE supports students in reading text-based primary sources in order to understand their unique features, contexts, main ideas, supporting details, and text-specific vocabulary in ways that are aligned with the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) and College, Career, and Civic Life Social Studies Standards (C3). The authors provide a description of the instructional steps of the strategy and a copy of the graphic organizer that is used when implementing the strategy. The article concludes with a description of a pilot study that supports the use of this strategy and points to the need for further research that includes a focus on student use of metacognitive skills.
The impact of the Eurozone crisis on Australia and South Korea

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The sovereign debt crisis inflicting the Eurozone member states has both international economic and European integration significance. Rarely has a regional economic crisis had such clear and immediate effects on even distant nations such as Australia and South Korea. This crisis is a sovereign debt crisis in which some Eurozone governments are facing unsustainable bond market rates of repayment for having high public debt and low level measures to resolve these debts. Moreover these states are inflicted by low or no economic growth and a no exit solution given they are members of a single currency scenario in which monetary policy is a combined approach and not specific to member states. Countries such as Australia and South Korea will ultimately feel this decline in lower levels of investment, lower levels of exports and potentially decline in the GDP. The aim of this paper is to ascertain in what ways they will feel the effects of the crisis. These are two different economic realities which theoretically should respond differently to this sovereign debt crisis. The paper also seeks to understand the similarities and the differences in the way these two nations will defend themselves from this economic tsunami and what factors will explain this economic defence.

A sideways view of the film economy in an age of digital piracy
Creators: name: Lobato, Ramon
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: In what follows, I provide some tentative suggestions as to how informal systems can be integrated into existing methodological norms of film industry analysis. The ideas below were hatched over several years as I worked on a book about informal distribution circuits.[2] I started out wanting to know more about the diverse ways in which movies circulate, both on and off the books. Intrigued by the enormous range of titles in street markets and on Bit Torrent servers, I was curious as to why such complex and dynamic distribution systems surface in film industry literature only as policy problems or anti-capitalist resistances. It struck me that we lack an appropriate analytical language for talking about informal distribution, so I set about trying to come up with one. The present essay is a reflection on some of the methodological problems that arose from this project. Many questions are posed and relatively few will be answered. I hope nonetheless that the discussion will be of interest to researchers concerned with how to adapt media industry analysis to encompass informal practices.
An investigation of the role of the information and communication technologies leader in secondary schools
Creators: name: Keane, Therese
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: While growing numbers of secondary schools have an Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) leader, there is surprisingly little consensus on who an ICT leader should be or what the position should entail. In Victoria, Australia, ICT leaders in secondary schools have been given a variety of position titles as the role is defined in a variety of different ways. In some schools the position is treated as a senior role, while in others it is not important. In addition, no system-wide description of an ICT leader exists. This article presents findings from exploratory research into the ICT leadership role, through perspectives from a variety of personnel in key leadership positions in schools as well as teacher perspectives.

description: The goal of this study was to investigate the individual and combined effects of temperature, salinity, and pressure on permeate flux and salt rejection of the reverse osmosis (RO) process used for reclamation of tunnel construction wastewater. Regardless of changes in temperature, higher operating pressures enhanced both permeate flux and salt rejection, while effects of temperatures on performance varied depending on the operating pressures. Increasing temperatures to less than 35 bar did not improve the permeate flux and salt rejection, while to more than 50 bar led to higher rejection as well as more permeate flux of reclaimed wastewater. Based on analysis of model equations developed, the extent of flux and salt rejection required for reuse of the reclaimed wastewater occurred under different optimal conditions depending on variations in seasons and salinity of wastewater. In particular, it was necessary to add additional pressure exceeding 50 bar or increase the temperature to over 20°C when wastewater of more than 20‰ salinity flows into the treatment system. Adjustment of influential variables can provide an implementable approach to improve operation of the RO process as well as optimize a process for practical construction on-site applications.

description: Common medicines for the treatment of toxoplasmosis have limited efficacy and unwanted side effects. Opiates can effect both innate and cell-mediated immunity and stimulate the immune responses in different parasitic infections. In this work, preventive and therapeutic effects of morphine were evaluated on the tachyzoites of Toxoplasma gondii and infected macrophages in vitro and in a murine model. Different concentrations of morphine (0.1 and 0.01 μg/ml) were evaluated on mortality rate of T. gondii by direct counting after 3 and 24 hours. The cytotoxic and apoptotic effects of these drugs were measured by the MTT assays and flow cytometry analysis, respectively. The same procedures were assessed in T. gondii-infected macrophages. The parasite loads were determined using quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). For in vivo assessment, BALB/c mice treated with morphine before or after infection with tachyzoites. The survival rate of animals, parasite load in the spleen, and the IFN-γ and IL-4 cytokines levels were measured. Morphine was effective on tachyzoites of T. gondii and had a reverse relationship with its concentration. The results of flow cytometry showed that the toxic effects of morphine on tachyzoites after 3 hours was not statistically significant (p<0.05). Also, apoptosis in infected MQs rose with a decreasing concentration of morphine. The parasitic load in MQs treated with morphine before infection was lower than that in cells treated after infection and the differences were statistically significant (p<0.01). In mice that received morphine before infection, survival rate, parasite load and the IFN-γ level were significantly lower than in mice treated after infection (p<0.01). The results of this study have shown that morphine in the pre-treatment group had higher anti-Toxoplasma activity than morphine in post-treatment in vitro and in murine model.

description: Hydrophilic nature of epoxy polymers can lead to both reversible and irreversible/permanent changes in epoxy upon moisture absorption. The permanent changes leading to the degradation of mechanical properties due to combined effect of moisture and elevated temperature on EPON 862, Nanomer I.28E, and Somasif MAE clay-epoxy nanocomposites are investigated in this study. The extent of permanent degradation on fracture and flexural properties due to the hygrothermal aging is determined by drying the epoxy and their clay-epoxy nanocomposites after moisture absorption. Significant permanent damage is observed for fracture toughness and flexural modulus, while the extent of permanent damage is less significant for flexural strength. It is also observed that permanent degradation in Somasif MAE clay-epoxy nanocomposites is higher compared to Nanomer I.28E clay-epoxy nanocomposites. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy revealed that both clays retained their original chemical structure after the absorption-desorption cycle without undergoing significant changes. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images of the fracture surfaces provide evidence that Somasif MAE clay particles offered very little resistance to crack propagation in case of redried specimens when compared to Nanomer I.28E counterpart. The reason for the observed higher extent of permanent degradation in Somasif MAE clay-epoxy system has been attributed to the weakening of the filler-matrix interface.

description: This paper explores the idea of resonance, as theorised by Argentinian anthropologist Gaston Gordillo, to understand the work of Egyptian media artist Ahmed Basiony. Gordillo argues that resonance acted as a productive force in the creation and transmission of the uprising in Tahrir Square during the so-called Arab Spring. Following Gordillo, I argue that Basiony's work Thirty Days Running the Place, garners its power from tapping into and conducting resonance to its audience.
Reaping and sowing the news from an Arab Spring: the politicised interaction between traditional and alternative journalistic practitioners
Creators: name: Bossio, Diana
name: Bebawi, Saba
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The 'Arab Spring' has been discussed in the mainstream media as a 'social media revolution'; a seismic shift away from the traditional news correspondence towards an era of citizen journalism and social media reporting. This paper reports on a preliminary analysis of the ways in which mainstream and alternative modes of journalistic practice in particular, interacted during the initial months of protest in Egypt and Libya in 2011. Using both quantitative and qualitative forms of analysis of mainstream news reports as well as social media and blogging, the paper compares the ways in which the two modes of journalistic practice collaborated to disseminate news and information about the protests. The preliminary analysis indicates that productive interactions did occur and led to changes in traditional journalistic practice, though true collaboration was hindered by the organisational constraints posed by the reporting practices of each group.

Superman in Green: an audience study of comic book film adaptations Thor and Green Lantern
Creators: name: Burke, Liam
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Over the past two decades comic book fans have become a digitally-empowered minority, with mainstream filmmakers much more likely to yield to fan pressure when adapting comics than in pre-digital times. Nonetheless, this fidelity-favouring audience is still only a fraction of the eventual attendance of these blockbuster releases. The larger non-fan audience is frequently drawn to ‘comic-book movies’ by generic markers carefully positioned by filmmakers and publicity to evoke past successes; with the continued popularity of comic-book movies suggesting these strategies have been successful. To better understand these two broad groups that attend comic book adaptations, audiences at screenings of recent high-profile films Thor and Green Lantern were surveyed. Adopting a similar methodology to Watching The Lord of the Rings, this research was carried out as a quali-quantitative paper survey of filmgoers at three different screenings of each film. The results offered a nuanced picture of the audience(s) for one of the most popular trends in modern cinema. Ultimately, it was found that while the two broad audiences that attend theses adaptations are not mutually exclusive, they do have differing interests and expectations, which the filmmaker and scholar must consider.

description: Martial arts such as karate from Japan, taekwondo from Korea, and kung fu from China, refer to codified systems of traditional fighting, and tend to be associated with underlying belief systems and codes of honour relating to the specific culture or society from region of origin. While the eastern martial arts of karate, taekwondo and kung fu are relatively well-known in the west, many other cultures have their own traditional systems of fighting, including western cultures. In fact, the Eastern martial arts themselves are thought to have their roots in the ancient Greek martial art of pankration, a form of 'total combat' within a moral culture glorifying valour and honour, thought to have been brought to Asia by the armies of Alexander the Great, and then spread throughout East Asia by Buddhist monks. The common feature of the traditional martial arts, as considered in this paper, is that the primary objective of the system of fighting is protection of oneself and one's associates from physical violation. Framed in this way, the key feature of a martial art is self-defence and force is only applied in order to negate a threat and to negotiate a peace. If there is no threat, or a dispute can be resolved without fighting, there is no need to engage in forceful combat. Martial arts such traditional taekwondo and traditional karate have a philosophy that one well-executed attacking technique should take out one opponent. A well-trained martial artist should have the mental discipline and physical skill to apply exactly the degree of force that is warranted by the context in which they find themselves, no more, but equally, no less.

Does a transnational campus fulfil its academic purpose?

subject: Specialist studies in education

description: Much has been written about various forms of transnational education, some of them greatly concerned about the problems but few making any real analysis of how the students and staff concerned feel about such enterprises. This paper investigates the degree to which key stakeholders are satisfied with the academic achievements of students in a transnational education campus. Questionnaires were completed by past and present students, local staff members, and the course coordinators at the home university. The questionnaires attempted to gauge the satisfaction of the stakeholders with particular regard to the relevance of the courses, the implication of a multicultural campus, the communication between the international campus and the home university, and the academic quality insofar as it met the demands of the course coordinators. This research revealed that, although there were some problems which require addressing, in general, most stakeholders were happy with the way the international campus functioned and the achievements it made. Among the issues raised, a major concern was the lack of sufficient reference to local conditions. There was a perennial problem of language, a problem which occurs with any form of multicultural education. However, the level of the students' performance satisfied most of the academics concerned. This investigation affirms the belief that transnational education is of great practical value, especially to students in developing countries. Hopefully financial restraints will not hinder the further development of such projects.
Guiding the service composition process with temporal business rules

description: Service composition has become an important paradigm for building distributed applications and e-business processes. While effort has been reported to verify a posteriori whether a given composition such as a BPEL schema satisfies the predefined behavioural properties, little effort has been made to utilise the properties to assist the designer in developing a correct service composition in the first place. This paper reports our first attempt towards this goal by presenting a framework and associated techniques to provide automated guidance to the designer during the composition design process. The guidance can be suggestions on the next valid steps in the business process, identifications of missing/misplaced steps, and/or propositions for inserting, deleting or reordering activities. The guidance is provided based on the temporal business rules which state the temporal/sequential relationships between business activities.

The NPM: the Trojan horse in accountability

description: This empirical study is an attempt to understand the impact of the New Public Management (NPM) on accountability within Victorian local government. The NPM has changed the parameters of public decision-making. It is appropriate therefore to consider the effect of the NPM on the concept of accountability held by staff and councillors of Victorian municipalities. Data were collected from 79 Victorian municipalities. A survey instrument was distributed to councillors and managers, with survey statements eliciting participants' understanding of the operation of accountability. The responses of a number of statements were cross-tabulated revealing some statistically significant associations that revealed the effect of the NPM on the understanding of accountability. Respondents' views revealed an understanding of accountability in which stewardship was considered to be important but strongly influenced by the NPM.

description: Ordered Ni3Al intermetallic precipitates constitute the main hardening sources of Ni-based superalloys. Here, we report the interdiffusion and precipitation behavior in a Ni/Ni3Al model system. The deposition of Ni3Al on a pure Ni layer at 500°C generated L12-structured γ′ (Ni3Al) precipitates, preferentially at the interface. After annealing at 800°C for 1 h, interdiffusion between Ni and Ni3Al layers occurred, and the γ′ precipitates that grew near the parent Ni/Ni3Al interface are ∼2.8 times larger in size than those formed in the matrix. Monte Carlo simulations indicate that vacancies preferentially diffuse along the Ni/Ni3Al interface, increasing the probability of precipitation.
Re-distributive philanthropy and the Chinese Australian diaspora
Creators: name: Baker, Christopher
Publisher: name: Swinburne

description: The discipline of sociology has paid relatively scant regard to either the actualities or the potential of voluntary giving of funds as a process capable of making a contribution to addressing social inequalities. While the literature that does exist includes arguments identifying aspects of elite philanthropy as being essentially self-serving (Ostrower, 1995; Odendahl, 1989) it also includes those who contend that giving is fundamental to social cohesion (Komter, 2007) and that redistribution is one of the most ancient forms of philanthropy (Frumkin, 2006; Payton, 1988). In very broad terms, the redistributive aspects of philanthropic giving have been present to varying degrees across the centuries and across myriad nations, cultures and religions. The prevailing western philanthropic processes have included both amelioration, in addressing acute needs in the moment, and transformation, in addressing the underlying causes of social inequalities. The extent to which such western processes are universal however remain largely untested. This is of particular significance in Australia where the ethnic and cultural composition is quickly changing and where many residents no longer come from western traditions. The 2011 Census reveals that over 866,000 Australian residents identified themselves as having Chinese ancestry. Of these, 318,969 were born in China, making China the 4th most common country of birth for Australians behind Australia, Britain and New Zealand (ABS 2012). This paper begins to address the almost entirely absent understanding of the similarities and differences in the normative influences over the philanthropic attitudes of this the fastest growing Diaspora in Australia.

Beyond the mirror: on experiential knowing as research mode in creative writing
Creators: name: Hecq, Dominique
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Inherent in ‘practice-led research’ is the dialectic between practice and research. For some time, this dialectic has been problematised in varying ways and to varying degrees across the creative arts in terms that are reminiscent of Deleuze’s ‘disjunctive synthesis’ (Deleuze and Guattari 2004: 14). Further, creative writing has mostly theorised its practice and research according to models offered by the visual arts, thereby ignoring its own ‘domain specificity’ (Baer 2012). This paper, however, posits that creative writing is a way of apprehending, knowing and being in the world; and more specifically it functions simultaneously as a perspective, an epistemology and an ontology specific to writing. It argues that our conceptual tools need to be made over in order to fit creative practice in writing: rather than being in thrall to the regime of images, these tools should enable us to deal specifically with writing in relation to the experiential and to subjectivity – that is, from the inside out. Reading Kristeva’s central argument in Revolution in poetic language (1974) against the grain, I reassess the relevance of the term ‘practice-led research’ for creative writing, asking how the poetic text can challenge the dominant paradigm and how it can be considered as research. More pointedly, building on Kristeva’s theorisation of the semiotic chora and on Lakoff’s work on metaphor, I ask what the epistemological thrust of creative writing might be, particularly if it is non-mimetic or experimental and hence destabilises polysemy and the syntactic function. I do so by questioning the role of sign, image and metaphor in the process of knowledge production from within an experiential practice which mobilises the unconscious, perception, pre-language and language. In such light, creative writing is a form of research in its own right which triangulates two seemingly mutually exclusive discourses encompassing (tacit) knowing and (explicit) knowledge.
