Community-based artists: dialogues of identity and learning
Creators: name: Selkrig, Mark Andrew
Publisher: name: La Trobe
Year: 2023

description: My intention in this study is to examine the experiences of visual artists who involve themselves in community-based arts practice(s). By engaging in a dialogue with artists who work in this way, my aim is to gain and provide some insight into how they, as artists, make meaning or learn from these situations, and how this in turn shapes them. The proposition I am exploring is that when artists are involved in community-based arts practice they learn about their identity/ies. The artists who are the focus of the study reside and conduct their work in regional Australia. A consideration of literature is outlined in this thesis that relates to arts practices, notions of identity and ways of viewing experience and learning. The conceptual framework adopted for this study is based on sociological perspectives (Bourdieu; Giddens, 1991) and social psychology (Cote & Levine, 2002; Mishler; 1999), where the interplay between our internal, subjective or agentic (Cote & Levine, 2002) world and the external, objective structural world interact to mediate our learning and identities. Deleuze and Guattari's (1987) concepts of rhizomatics and becoming as a means to describe the ongoing nature of how identities are formed are also considered. The paradigm employed in this study is a constructivist/interpretivist paradigm, utilising hermeneutic phenomenological/narrative research approaches based on in-depth semi-structured interviews with twelve visual artists. Data are analysed using a recursive and spiralling process (Creswell, 2007). The findings and interpretation are presented thematically and structured as a neonarrative or storying place (Stewart, 2007) allowing the artists' voices to be heard, and considered alongside aspects raised within the literature and my theoretical framework. Major findings from the study include that artists attempt to reconcile aspects of their individual, social, and cultural identities by challenging communities' perceptions of artists. The cumulative effect of being involved in community-based arts practice(s) also provide artists with ongoing identity capital where instrumental intentions are transformed, allowing them to realise intrinsic qualities where they learn about themselves by connecting with others.
Boundary controllability of a one-dimensional phase-field system with one control force

description: In this paper, we present some controllability results for linear and nonlinear phase-field systems of Caginalp type considered in a bounded interval of $\mathbb R$ when the scalar control force acts on the temperature equation of the system by means of the Dirichlet condition on one of the endpoints of the interval. In order to prove the linear result we use the moment method providing an estimate of the cost of fast controls. Using this estimate and following the methodology developed in~\cite{tucsnack}, we prove a local exact boundary controllability result to constant trajectories of the nonlinear phase-field system. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first nonlinear boundary controllability result in the framework of non-scalar parabolic systems, framework in which some ``hyperbolic'' behaviors could arise.

A Theistic Analysis of the Austrian Theories of Capital and Interest
Creators: name: Lynch, Troy P.
Publisher: name: La Trobe
Year: 2023

description: In this thesis I examine the Austrian School of economics' theories of capital and interest. In chapter two I describe the character of the school, its history, and the educational, environmental and social background of the main supporters. The school is characterised by an adherence to Menger's doctrines, with Böhm-Bawerk, Hayek and Mises as disciples who elaborated and developed the work. In chapter three I introduce and explain the philosophical position that I use in this study, the ontology and epistemology developed by Cornelius Van Til. In chapter four I propose that the main Austrian scholars hold epistemologies and ontologies that conflict, even with an apparent shared commitment to methodological individualism and subjectivism. I use Van Til's philosophy to elucidate the commitments of the Austrians and claim that differences in epistemology emerge from distinctive ontologies. In chapter five Carl Menger’s work on value, goods and price is assessed. He developed a subjectivist theory of capital, in which time demarcates the value of present and future goods, and value is determined by the want-satisfying individual. In chapter six I examine the development of capital theory by Böhm-Bawerk, Hayek and Mises. Productivity and value differentials over time are the elements that the Austrian capital theory attempts to explain. In chapter seven I examine how Böhm-Bawerk, Hayek and Mises produced distinctive theories of interest. Mises included elements of Menger’s, Böhm-Bawerk’s and Fetter's work within the framework of his epistemology of praxeology and affirmed a pure time-preference theory of interest. Mises's interest and capital theories are the representative theories of the Austrian School. In chapter eight I employ Van Til's philosophy to assess the school's capital and interest theories. I conclude that the Austrian School’s propositions on capital and interest are unsound as they are proposed, and established on the basis of the ontological and epistemological preconditions affirmed by the school and Mises. I provide a conclusion to the thesis, state my main contributions in the thesis and then offer suggestions for further research.

description: Integration of technological solutions aims to improve accuracy, precision and repeatability in farming operations, and biosensor devices are increasingly used for understanding basic biology during livestock production. The aim of this study was to design and validate a miniaturized tri-axial accelerometer for non-invasive monitoring of farmed fish with re-programmable schedule protocols.The device was attached to the operculum of gilthead sea bream and European sea bass juveniles for monitoring their physical activity by measurements of movement accelerations in x and y-axes, while records of operculum beats served as a measurement of respiratory frequency. Data post-processing of exercised fish in swimming test chambers revealed an exponential increase of fish accelerations with the increase of fish speed from 1 body-length to 4 body-lengths per second, while a close relationship between oxygen consumption and opercular frequency was consistently found.The usefulness of low computational load for data pre-processing with on-board algorithms was verified from low to submaximal exercise, increasing this procedure the autonomy of the system up to 6 h of data recording with different programmable schedules. Visual observations regarding tissue damage, feeding behavior and circulating levels of stress markers did not reveal at short term a negative impact of device tagging. Reduced plasma levels of triglycerides revealed a transient inhibition of feed intake in small fish, but this disturbance was not detected in larger fish. All this considered together is the proof of concept that miniaturized devices are suitable for non-invasive and reliable metabolic phenotyping of farmed fish to improve their overall performance and welfare. Further work is underway for improving the attachment procedure and the full device packaging.

A decomposition algorithm for computing income taxes with pass-through entities and its application to the Chilean case

description: Income tax systems with pass-through entities transfer a firm's incomes to the shareholders, which are taxed individually. In 2014, a Chilean tax reform introduced this type of entity and changed to an accrual basis that distributes incomes (but not losses) to shareholders. A crucial step for the Chilean taxation authority is to compute the final income of each individual, given the complex network of corporations and companies, usually including cycles between them. In this paper, we show the mathematical conceptualization and the solution to the problem, proving that there is only one way to distribute incomes to taxpayers. Using the theory of absorbing Markov chains, we define a mathematical model for computing the taxable incomes of each taxpayer, and we propose a decomposition algorithm for this problem. This allows us to compute the solution accurately and with the efficient use of computational resources. Finally, we present some characteristics of the Chilean taxpayers' network and computational results of the algorithm using this network.
Developing Policy Leadership: A Strategic Approach to Strengthening Policy Capacity in the Health Bureaucracy
Creators: name: Gleeson, Deborah
Publisher: name: La Trobe
Year: 2023

description: Abstract: In recent years there has been increasing interest in improving the quality of policy through building the policy capacity of public sector institutions. To date, however, there has been little evidence on which to base capacity building interventions. This thesis presents a study of policy process and policy capacity in the Department of Human Services (DHS) in the Australian State of Victoria. Policy capacity was defined as the organisational infrastructure that supports effective policy development and implementation (including individual competencies). The study drew on the health policy, public policy and public administration literature. Data collection methods involved (i) individual in-depth interviews with policy workers in four policy-oriented organisational units of DHS to explore the policy process and policy capacity, and (ii) a focus group and individual interviews with experienced policy workers to explore potential capacity building strategies. Findings indicate that building policy capacity requires attention to four domains: building and managing a policy-competent workforce; developing formal processes and guidelines for strengthening the policy process; strengthening organisational culture and policy leadership; and strengthening structures and relationships to support policy capacity. Building capacity also involves negotiating tensions between policy capacity and two other elements of governing capacity (administrative capacity and state capacity). The appropriate choice of capacity building strategies depends on context and contingency, including the specifics of particular policies, times and settings. Accordingly, the thesis concludes that a focus on developing policy leadership at the middle and senior levels would be a strategic approach to building policy capacity. Policy leadership involves local level judgement, mentorship, initiative and responsibility, and the ability to mobilise organisational resources to build policy capacity.

description: Omnidirectional images are one of the main sources of information for learning based scene understanding algorithms. However, annotated datasets of omnidirectional images cannot keep the pace of these learning based algorithms development. Among the different panoramas and in contrast to standard central ones, non-central panoramas provide geometrical information in the distortion of the image from which we can retrieve 3D information of the environment [2]. However, due to the lack of commercial non-central devices, up until now there was no dataset of these kinds of panoramas. In this data paper, we present the first dataset of non-central panoramas for indoor scene understanding. The dataset is composed by {\bf 2574} RGB non-central panoramas taken in around 650 different rooms. Each panorama has associated a depth map and annotations to obtain the layout of the room from the image as a structural edge map, list of corners in the image, the 3D corners of the room and the camera pose. The images are taken from photorealistic virtual environments and pixel-wise automatically annotated.

Analysis of changing stakeholder behaviour: case study of the consultation process for the Victorian Alpine Resorts 2020 Strategy
Creators: name: Tomsett, Paula May
Publisher: name: La Trobe
Year: 2023

description: This research explored stakeholder behaviour during the development, implementation and evaluation of the Victorian Alpine Resorts 2020 Strategy. In particular, the research addressed three research questions that related to the key behavioural components and attributes of stakeholder behaviour during consultation and the affect behaviour had on commitment to a tourism strategy. Stakeholders were classified using six stakeholder types (Government/Semi-government, Alpine Resort Management Board, Industry Group, Ski Club, Community-based Organisation, and Individual) and five behaviour groups (allied, cooperative, neutral, competitive, threatening). An examination was made of stakeholder behaviour across the consultation process from engagement in the development of the Strategy to implementation and in attitude toward participating in an evaluation of the Strategy. Behaviour was recorded and factors contributing to changing behaviour analysed. Stakeholders displayed complex behaviour patterns moving between behaviour classifications during and across the consultation process. Stakeholder behaviour and commitment to strategy implementation changed; neutral, competitive or threatening behaviour often led to less commitment to strategy success and higher levels of cynicism in the consultation process. Allied or cooperative behaviour supported strategy development but did not always lead to a commitment to strategy success. Behaviour toward an evaluation of the strategy often reverted to that exhibited during development. The majority of the stakeholders exhibited behaviour changes in both positive and negative directions and key factors in this change were associated with the consultation process itself with varying degrees of disappointment or satisfaction with the content of the final strategy document. However, negative or positive stakeholder behaviour bore no relation to stakeholder commitment to the Strategy. The findings of this study have added the element of behaviour to stakeholder theory and analysis of stakeholders, which is currently limited to describing and identifying stakeholders. Using this understanding a model of stakeholder behaviour has been developed comprising four behaviour groups (allied, disconnected, guarded and neutral), with indicators of behaviour and suggested consultation strategies to encourage more positive responses from stakeholders. The model may facilitate the management of stakeholder consultation processes for positive long-term outcomes, the result of which would be the ongoing support and commitment of stakeholders to strategy or policy development and implementation.

description: There have been several recent detections of candidate Keplerian discs around massive young protostars. Given the relatively large disc-to-star mass ratios in these systems, and their young ages, it is worth investigating their propensity to becoming self-gravitating. To this end, we compute self-consistent, semi-analytic models of putative self-gravitating discs for five candidate disc systems. Our aim is not to fit exactly the observations, but to demonstrate that the expected dust continuum emission from marginally unstable self-gravitating discs can be quite weak, due to high optical depth at the midplane even at millimetre wavelengths. In the best cases, the models produce "observable" disc masses within a factor of <1.5 of those observed, with midplane dust temperatures comparable to measured temperatures from molecular line emission. We find in two cases that a self-gravitating disc model compares well with observations. If these discs are self-gravitating, they satisfy the conditions for disc fragmentation in their outer regions. These systems may hence have as-yet-unresolved low mass stellar companions, and are thus promising targets for future high angular resolution observations.

Spectral Angle Based Unary Energy Functions for Spatial-Spectral Hyperspectral Classification using Markov Random Fields

description: In this paper, we propose and compare two spectral angle based approaches for spatial-spectral classification. Our methods use the spectral angle to generate unary energies in a grid-structured Markov random field defined over the pixel labels of a hyperspectral image. The first approach is to use the exponential spectral angle mapper (ESAM) kernel/covariance function, a spectral angle based function, with the support vector machine and the Gaussian process classifier. The second approach is to directly use the minimum spectral angle between the test pixel and the training pixels as the unary energy. We compare the proposed methods with the state-of-the-art Markov random field methods that use support vector machines and Gaussian processes with squared exponential kernel/covariance function. In our experiments with two datasets, it is seen that using minimum spectral angle as unary energy produces better or comparable results to the existing methods at a smaller running time.

description: The viral hemagglutinins of conventional influenza A viruses (IAVs) bind to sialylated glycans on host cell surfaces for attachment and subsequent infection. In contrast, hemagglutinins of bat-derived IAVs target major histocompatibility complex class II (MHC-II) for cell entry. MHC-II proteins from various vertebrate species can facilitate infection with the bat IAV H18N11. Yet, it has been difficult to biochemically determine the H18:MHC-II binding. Here, we followed a different approach and generated MHC-II chimeras from the human leukocyte antigen DR (HLA-DR), which supports H18-mediated entry, and the nonclassical MHC-II molecule HLA-DM, which does not. In this context, viral entry was supported only by a chimera containing the HLA-DR α1, α2, and β1 domains. Subsequent modeling of the H18:HLA-DR interaction identified the α2 domain as central for this interaction. Further mutational analyses revealed highly conserved amino acids within loop 4 (N149) and β-sheet 6 (V190) of the α2 domain as critical for virus entry. This suggests that conserved residues in the α1, α2, and β1 domains of MHC-II mediate H18-binding and virus propagation. The conservation of MHC-II amino acids, which are critical for H18N11 binding, may explain the broad species specificity of this virus.

description: Stellar companions can influence the formation and evolution of planetary systems, but there are currently few observational constraints on the properties of planet-hosting binary star systems. We search for stellar companions around 77 transiting hot Jupiter systems to explore the statistical properties of this population of companions as compared to field stars of similar spectral type. After correcting for survey incompleteness, we find that $47\%\pm7\%$ of hot Jupiter systems have stellar companions with semi-major axes between 50-2000 AU. This is 2.9 times larger than the field star companion fraction in this separation range, with a significance of $4.4σ$. In the 1-50AU range, only $3.9^{+4.5}_{-2.0}\%$ of hot Jupiters host stellar companions compared to the field star value of $16.4\%\pm0.7\%$, which is a $2.7σ$ difference. We find that the distribution of mass ratios for stellar companions to hot Jupiter systems peaks at small values and therefore differs from that of field star binaries which tend to be uniformly distributed across all mass ratios. We conclude that either wide separation stellar binaries are more favorable sites for gas giant planet formation at all separations, or that the presence of stellar companions preferentially causes the inward migration of gas giant planets that formed farther out in the disk via dynamical processes such as Kozai-Lidov oscillations. We determine that less than 20% of hot Jupiters have stellar companions capable of inducing Kozai-Lidov oscillations assuming initial semi-major axes between 1-5 AU, implying that the enhanced companion occurrence is likely correlated with environments where gas giants can form efficiently.

Casting manipulation of unknown string by robot arm

description: Casting manipulation has been studied to expand the robot's movable range. In this manipulation, the robot throws and reaches the end effector to a distant target. Usually, a special casting manipulator, which consists of rigid arm links and specific flexible linear objects, is constructed for an effective casting manipulation. However, the special manipulator cannot perform normal manipulations, such as picking and placing, grasping, and operating objects. We propose that the normal robot arm, which can perform normal tasks, picks up an unknown string in the surrounding environment and realizes casting manipulation with it. As the properties of the string are not provided in advance, it is crucial how to reflect it in casting manipulation. This is realized by the motion generation of the robot arm with the simulation of string movement, actual string manipulation by the robot arm, and string parameter estimation from the actual string movement. After repeating these three steps, the simulated string movement approximates the actual to realize casting manipulation with the unknown string. We confirmed the effectiveness of the proposed method through experiments. The try of this study will lead to enhancement of the performance of home service robot, exploration robot, rescue robot and entertainment robot.

description: Elizabeth von Arnim’s diaristic trilogy–Elizabeth and Her German Garden (1898); The Solitary Summer (1899); and The Adventures of Elizabeth in Rugen (1904)–is unified by a commitment to an everyday mode of sensuous, detailed observation that I regard as broadly naturalist in its attenuation of plot and elevation of description. The protracted desire to look and describe underwrites the novels. I argue that their attempts at narrative are leisured and often inconclusive, ultimately failing to fully satiate any desire for teleological plottedness. This seeming failure is a function of the trilogy’s generic correspondence with natural history’s endless drive to accumulate observations, which frustrates closure and stills narrative momentum. I also seek to show that the seemingly random heterogeneity of its subject matter, often depicted in contemporary reviews as an inherent characteristic of light women’s literature, embodies natural history’s attention to dailiness and the value of the prosaic. The trilogy’s numerous verbally sketched still lives redeem and enshrine stasis as a virtue, product, and condition of observation rather than a devalued and feminized trait.

title: Italian mental health care in the 1978 post reform era : the impact on relatives.
Creators: name: Samele, Chiara
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2023

description: A radical movement in psychiatry effectively changed the face of Italian mental health care when in 1978 law 180 was passed. For the first time this introduced systematic deinstitutionalisation of the mentally ill on a scale that generated international interest. Italy however, was ill prepared to receive the mentally ill into the community at the rapidity with which mental hospital numbers were being reduced. Little thought had been given to what this might imply. Some feared the repercussions would be devastating, others were encouraged by the successes of previous community care initiatives and the impetus to spread them nationally. Families of the mentally ill were to form one of the major cornerstones for the new reform to function. The reliance on relatives to provide care was not foreseen by policy makers. The recognition of informal carers in Britain by feminist academics pointed to he heavy burden placed by community care policies on women. Understanding the extent of impact on relatives caring for someone diagnosed mentally ill was a parallel theme for academics in clinical psychology and psychiatry. The present study sought to address some of these issues: community mental health care after the 1978 reform, the impact of care on relatives and what this signified for women. South Verona was the location chosen for the study. The success there in implementing community mental health services was well in tune with what the originators of the reform sought to achieve. Amongst the relatives interviewed remarkably little material or objective impact was found. Favourable economic and cultural factors accounted for the comparatively minimal impact materially. There was however, a notable degree of psychological or subjective impact on relatives. Most relatives were satisfied with community psychiatric services received by patients, but some were unhappy with the way staff perceived them. Some policy implications and service recommendations are considered in the final sections.

Magnetic hyperfine structure of the ground-state doublet in highly charged ions $^{229}$Th$^{89+,87+}$ and the Bohr-Weisskopf effect

description: The magnetic hyperfine (MHF) structure of the $5/2^+$(0.0 eV) ground state and the low-lying $3/2^+$(7.8 eV) isomeric state of the $^{229}$Th nucleus in highly charged ions Th$^{89+}$ and Th$^{87+}$ is calculated. The distribution of the nuclear magnetization (the Bohr-Weisskopf effect) is accounted for in the framework of the collective nuclear model with the wave functions of the Nilsson model for the unpaired neutron. The deviations of the MHF structure for the ground and isomeric states from their values in the model of point-like nuclear magnetic dipole are calculated. The influence of the mixing of the states with the same quantum number $F$ on the energy of sublevels is studied. Taking into account the mixing of states, the probabilities of the transitions between the components of MHF structure are found.

description: Η παρούσα διπλωματική εργασία αποσκοπεί στην ανάπτυξη δημόσιων χώρων στο Σουφλί Έβρου, προωθώντας την συμμετοχή της κοινότητας και βελτιώνοντας την ποιότητα ζωής των κατοίκων.
 Το έργο περιλαμβάνει τη δημιουργία ενός αστικού δημόσιου πάρκου με την επαναφορά ενός ρέμματος και την δημιουργία γεφυρών για την σύνδεση των χώρων του πάρκου, καθώς και την αποκατάσταση δύο υφισταμένων μικρών πλατειών σε κοντινή απόσταση από το πάρκο. Το έργο αυτό αποσκοπεί στη μετατροπή αυτών των χώρων σε λειτουργικούς και αισθητικά ευχάριστους χώρους που προσφέρουν στην τοπική κοινότητα ένα ευρύ φάσμα αναγκών και επιθυμιών.
  Ο σχεδιασμός του πάρκου περιλαμβάνει προσεκτικά διαμορφωμένους χώρους με πράσινο, περιπατητικές διαδρομές, περιοχές καθίσματος και διαδραστικές εγκαταστάσεις που προάγουν την κοινωνική αλληλεπίδραση.
Επιπλέον, η αποκατάσταση των δύο μικρών πλατειών συμπληρώνει τη δημιουργία του αστικού δημόσιου πάρκου. Ο σχεδιασμός περιλαμβάνει ευέλικτες εναλλακτικές καταστάσεις καθίσματος, βελτιωμένο φωτισμό και βελτιωμένη προσβασιμότητα για να εξασφαλίσει την χρηστικότητα τους κατά τη διάρκεια της ημέρας και της νύχτας από όλες τις κοινωνικές ομάδες. Μέσω της διατήρησης της ιστορικής και πολιτιστικής σημασίας αυτών των πλατειών, ενώ εισάγονται σύγχρονα στοιχεία σχεδιασμού, το έργο δημιουργεί χώρους που γέφυρωνουν το παρελθόν με το παρόν, τιμώντας την παράδοση του χωριού ενώ αναδεικνύει τις σύγχρονες ανησυχίες.
description: This thesis aims at the development of public spaces in Soufli Evros , promoting community participation and improving the quality of life of the residents.
  The project includes the creation of an urban public park by restoring a stream and creating bridges to connect the park areas, as well as the restoration of two existing small squares in close proximity to the park. This project aims to transform these spaces into functional and aesthetically pleasing spaces that offer the local community a wide range of needs and desires.
   The park design includes carefully landscaped green spaces, walking paths, seating areas and interactive installations that promote social interaction.
In addition, the restoration of the two small squares complements the creation of the urban public park. The design includes flexible alternative seating positions, improved lighting and improved accessibility to ensure their usability during the day and night by all social groups. By preserving the historical and cultural significance of these squares while introducing contemporary design elements, the project creates spaces that bridge the past with the present, honoring the village's tradition while highlighting contemporary concerns.
