description: Many undergraduate examinations permit students to use a limited quantity of previously prepared notes: so-called 'crib sheets', or 'cheat-sheets'. The majority of evidence from the literature suggests that students sitting such exams feel less anxious, and that they perform to a higher standard, although such results are idiosyncratic to the discipline and course, and few are set in the context of undergraduate mathematics. Less is known about what content students choose to include on their sheets, and how they interact with this material. This preliminary research report presents the first results from a three-year project investigating students' use of crib sheets in undergraduate mathematics exams. It explores the content and layout of crib sheets used by students for an end-of-semester calculus exam.

description: Accounts of mentoring relationships inevitably draw attention to hierarchies of expertise, knowledge and learning. While public concerns about both the risks and benefits for young people of social media, little attention has been given to the nature of the mentoring role that parents and families play alongside of schools. This conceptual paper explores models of mentorship in the context of family dynamics as they are affected by social media use. This is a context that explicitly disrupts hierarchical structures of mentoring in that new media, and particularly social media use, tends to be driven by youth cultural practices, identity formation, experimentation and autonomy-seeking practices (see for example: Robards; boyd; Campos-Holland et al.; Hodkinson). A growing body of research supports the notion that young people are more skilled in navigating social media platforms than their parents (FOSI; Campos-Holland et al.). This research establishes that uncertainty and tension derived from parents' impression that their children know more about social media they do (FOSI; Sorbring) has brought about a market for advice and educational programs. In the content of this paper it is notable that when family dynamics and young people's social media use are addressed through notions of digital citizenship or cyber safety programs, a hierarchical mentorship is assumed, but also problematised; thus the expertise hierarchy is inverted. This paper argues that use of social media platforms, networks, and digital devices challenges traditional hierarchies of expertise in family environments. Family members, parents and children in particular, are involved in ongoing, complex conversations and negotiations about expertise in relation to technology and social media use. These negotiations open up an alternative space for mentorship, challenging traditional roles and suggesting the need for cooperative processes. And this, in turn, can inspire new ways of relating with and through social media and mobile technologies within the family.
Inclusion of binaries in evolutionary population synthesis

description: Using evolutionary population synthesis we present integrated colours, integrated spectral energy distributions and absorption-line indices defined by the Lick Observatory image dissector scanner (referred to as the Lick/IDS) system, for an extensive set of instantaneous-burst binary stellar populations with and without binary interactions. The ages of the populations are in the range 1-15 Gyr and the metallicities are in the range 0.0001-0.03. By comparing the results for populations with and without binary interactions we show that the inclusion of binary interactions makes the integrated U-B, B-V, V-R and R-I colours and all Lick/IDS spectral absorption indices (except for H) substantially smaller. In other words, binary evolution makes a population appear bluer. This effect raises the derived age and metallicity of the population. We calculate several sets of additional solar-metallicity binary stellar populations to explore the influence of the binary evolution algorithm input parameters (the common-envelope ejection efficiency and the stellar wind mass-loss rate) on the resulting integrated colours. We also look at the dependence on the choice of distribution functions used to generate the initial binary population. The results show that variations in the choice of input model parameters and distributions can significantly affect the results. However, comparing the discrepancies that exist between the colours of various models, we find that the differences are less than those produced between the models with and those without binary interactions. Therefore it is very necessary to consider binary interactions in order to draw accurate conclusions from evolutionary population synthesis work.
Why German homeowners are reluctant to retrofit

description: Germany is frequently seen as a leader in thermal retrofit policy, with stringent mandatory standards for insulation, windows and boilers. However, the annual rate and average depth of thermal retrofits are considerably lower than expected. One of the main policy planks for promoting thermal upgrades is the claim that thermal retrofitting, to federal standards, is always ‘economically viable’, i.e. it always pays back, through fuel savings, over the technical lifetime of the upgrade measures. Policy discourse therefore tends to blame homeowners for complacency or ignorance in failing to see the financial opportunity offered by retrofitting. However, a five-year in-depth study of the policy, buildings and occupants finds this policy is out of step with both the buildings and the majority of their owners. The policy's claimed ‘economic viability’ of retrofits fails to account for the real nature of the buildings and overstates the savings. The negative effect of misplaced claims of economic viability is considerable. Many thoughtful homeowners are deterred. It is argued that policy needs to change: more nuanced upgrade measures are needed that suit specific buildings and occupants; top-end retrofits can be promoted where appropriate and affordable, but for reasons other than economic gain.

description: One of the latest topics in the debate on the future of constitutional control in Poland concerns the possibility and the need of common court judges to directly apply the Constitution. This possibility has already existed in theory – according to the Article 8 para 2 of the Constitution of Poland, the provisions of the Constitution shall apply directly, unless the Constitution provides otherwise. However, in practice, until now in case when the conformity of the normative act with the Constitution was questioned in particular case, the court has always referred the question of law the Constitutional Tribunal. The need to come back to the discussion on direct applicability of the Constitution stems from the questionable legality of some Constitutional Tribunal rulings in connection with the incorrect appointment of three so-called “quasi-judges” in December 2015.

Disposable technologies: The halfwayness of USB portable hard drives

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This article draws from a pilot study examining people's use of portable hard drives and USB sticks in Melbourne, Australia - an important initial step in identifying the ways in which USB portable hard drives hold enduring personal, social, and economic significance. We explore this significance through reluctances to dispose of USB portable hard drives, partly for environmental reasons, but also because of concerns over the data stored on them. In direct tension to these concerns is an ephemeral sense of ownership, where USB portable hard drives are always disposable from the moment of acquisition. We also explore views on, and negotiations of, these paradoxical issues in regards to the disposability of USB portable hard drives.

Was genau ist es, das die Modernität der Neuzeit und des für sie typischen Privatrechtsdiskurses auszeichnet? Innerhalb des vielschichtigen, historisch, soziologisch und philosophisch geführten Diskurses über den Modernebegri' lassen sich drei Bedeutungsschichten identifizieren, die sich zu einem dreiteiligen Modell des Privatrechtsdenkens der Moderne integrieren lassen. Als hilfreich erweist sich dabei die in den Geistes- und Kulturwissenschaften verbreitete Unterscheidung zwischen einer „ersten“ und einer „zweiten“ bzw. „reflexiven“ Moderne. Ein dreiteiliges Bild der Moderne im Recht erlaubt eine neue und differenzierte Antwort auf die Frage, wie sich die Ambivalenz der Moderne in den wohlbekannten Aporien privatrechtlicher Diskurszusammenhänge widerspiegelt.

description: Although mass media continue to play a key role in translating scientific uncertainty for public discourse, communicators of climate science are becoming increasingly aware of their own role in shaping scientific messages in the news. As an example of how future media research can provide relevant feedback to climate communicators, the present study examines the ways in which grammatical and word choices represent and construct uncertainty in news reporting about the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Qualifying and hedging language and other “epistemic markers” are analyzed in four newspapers during 2001 and 2007: the New York Times and Wall Street Journal from the USA and El País and El Mundo from Spain. Though the US newspapers contained a higher density of epistemic markers and used more ambiguous grammatical constructs of uncertainty than the Spanish newspapers, all four media sources chose similar words when questioning the certainty around climate change. Moreover, the density of epistemic markers in each newspaper either remained the same or increased with time, despite ever-growing scientific agreement that human activities modify global climate. While the US newspapers increasingly adopted IPCC language to describe climate uncertainties, they also exhibited an emerging tendency to construct uncertainty by highlighting differences between IPCC reports or between scientific predictions and observations. The analysis thus helps identify articulations of uncertainty that will shape future media portrayals of climate science across varying cultural and national contexts.
Designing humanitarian village, a response to small-medium sized disasters
Creators: name: Rahmayati, Yenny
Publisher: name: Swinburne

description: Asia and the Pacific region have the highest number of total occurrences, fatalities and effects of natural disaster events caused by small-medium disasters particularly flood and cyclone. Data from United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UNESCAP) 2015 shows that in the past 4 decades there has been a growing number of small and medium-scale disasters which have resulted a total loss of over US$1.15 trillion. However this scale of disaster has received less attention from humanitarian agencies. At the same time the increasing number of natural disasters has increased the demand for humanitarian products and facilities such as shelters, communication devices, health and safety equipment, water and sanitation. There are many types of designs for emergency shelters but most are too technical and neglect the social needs of the occupants, which makes post-disaster life more distressing for survivors. This paper explores the concept of Humanitarian Village as an innovative design for responding to small and medium-scale disasters, focusing on community-led design for better temporary pop-up shelter and village facilities for people impacted by highly distressing scenarios. A technical solution for the design of emergency shelters is proposed and ways to manage small and medium-scale disasters, particularly in the Asia Pacific region are investigated.

description: Sperm DNA damage has negative impacts on both male infertility and reproductive outcomes. Sperm DNA fragmentation testing consists of three uniquely functional forms of assessment, each of which measures different aspects of sperm integrity. The clinical value of these tests ultimately comes down to the potential impact they have on patient pathway. The limitations of current semen analysis prevent the accurate diagnosis of the majority (80%) of idiopathic male infertility, and therefore the introduction of sperm DNA damage testing would allow such couples to be directed towards ICSI, and avoid the unnecessary money, biological time and heartache of failed cycles of IVF. Advancements in antioxidant therapy and non-invasive forms of semen analysis are currently under development, and the successful production of the latter would mean huge developments in the field of andrology. Currently no form of sperm DNA integrity testing allows the sample to be subsequently used clinically, limiting the ability to predict reproductive outcomes of treatment. The development of a wide-scale meta-analysis on the relative risks of miscarriage at early stages of pregnancy, would subsequently allow the implementation of a patient pathway timeline. This would allow patients to determine the relative risk of miscarriage at each stage of early pregnancy as a result of high levels of sperm DNA damage, compared to low levels of damage with assisted reproductive technology (ART).

description: Building information modelling (BIM) is defined as a process involving the generation and management of digital representation of physical and functional characteristics of a facility. The purpose of interoperability in integrated or 'open' BIM is to facilitate the information exchange between different digital systems, models and tools. There has been effort towards data interoperability with development of open source standards and objectoriented models, such as industry foundation classes (IFC) for vertical infrastructure. However, the lack of open data standards for the information exchange for horizontal infrastructure limits the adoption and effectiveness of integrated BIM. The paper outlines two interoperability issues for construction of rail infrastructure. The issues are presented in two case study reports, one from Australia and one from Malaysia. The each case study includes: a description of the project, the application of BIM in the project, a discussion of the promised BIM interoperability solution plus the identification of the unresolved lack of interoperability for horizontal infrastructure project management. The Moreton Bay Rail project in Australia introduces general software interoperability issues. The Light Rail Extension project in Kuala Lumpur outlines an example of the integration problems related to two different location data structures. The paper highlights how the continuing lack of data interoperability limits utilisation of integrated BIM for horizontal infrastructure rail projects.

description: Chemical investigation of the Red Sea sponge Dragmacidon coccinea led to the isolation of a new nucleoside, dragmacidoside (1), along with eight known compounds: adenosine (2), inosine (3), deoxycytidine (4), methyl-α-d-glucopyranoside (5), clionasterol (6), stigmasterol (7), campesterol (8) and brassicasterol (9). The compounds were isolated from chloroform and ethyl acetate fractions of the methanolic extract of the sponge, and their structures were established based on various spectroscopic data including MS, 1D and 2D NMR (COSY, HSQC and HMBC). Biological testing revealed that the chloroform fraction possesses significant anti-inflammatory activity in the carrageenan-induced hind paw oedema in rats.

description: Over the last decade Australia has become an unlikely hotspot of circumvention activity. Frustrated by the high cost and slow delivery of first-release TV and movies from the UnitedStates - and by their own self-perceived status as 'second-class' media citizens - Australianshave taken to offshore streaming with a singular enthusiasm, signing up for VPNsand proxy services and using them to access US Netflix, Hulu, HBO Now, and BBC iPlayer.Unlike many nations in the Asia-Pacific region, where circumvention has an overtly politicaldimension, the conversation in Australia has revolved substantially around access to entertainment rather than privacy, surveillance or censorship. Many Australians have acquired a working knowledge of circumvention tools simply because they were unable to watch episodes of their favourite television shows quickly and legally.

Construction management scheduling and control: the familiar historical overview

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The paper suggests that 'management by exception' is an historical default control mechanism based on the perception of control as a static process. However, increasingly scholars claim that a dynamic and proactive systems model is a more effective form of project control. These findings are the result of an historical desktop research method that analysed content from a small sample of scheduling methods and control approaches found in online and university library resources. The concept of control has historically influenced both visualization and analytics of different scheduling methods for construction project management. This paper focuses on two control ideals; static and dynamic control mechanisms. The overview begins with the description of early graphical scheduling techniques: Gantt charts and Harmonogram. It continues with examples of contributors to scheduling and control that include: CPM, PERT, LOB, Flowline and Location Based Management. The finding of this simple history suggests that change is the constant element for project control mechanisms. An object-based digital environment such as the datarich building information modelling (BIM) appears to be continuing the change for new scheduling methods and control mechanisms.
Integrated spectral energy distributions and absorption-feature indices of single stellar populations

description: Using evolutionary population synthesis, we present integrated spectral energy distributions and absorption-line indices defined by the Lick Observatory image dissector scanner (referred to as Lick/IDS) system, for an extensive set of instantaneous burst single stellar populations (SSPs). The ages of the SSPs are in the range 1-19 Gyr and the metallicities [Fe/H] are in the range -2.3 - 0.2. Our models use the rapid single stellar evolution algorithm of Hurley, Pols and Tout for the stellar evolutionary tracks, the empirical and semi-empirical calibrated BaSeL-2.0 model of Lejeune, Cuisinier and Buser for the library of stellar spectra and the empirical fitting functions of Worthey, Faber, Gonzalez and Burstein for the Lick/IDS spectral absorption-feature indices. Applying our synthetic Lick/IDS absorption-line indices to the merit function, we obtain the age and the metallicity of the central region of M32, which can be well explained by an instantaneous SSP with an age of 6.5 Gyr and a metallicity similar to solar. Applying the derived age and the metallicity from the merit function to a number of index-index diagrams, we find that the plots of Hbeta-Fe5015 and Hbeta-Fe5782 are the best index-index diagrams from which we can directly obtain reasonable age and metallicity.

Publisher: name: Swinburne

description: Problem/Purpose: This article canvasses the repurposing of under-utilised assets owned by Not-for-Profit (NFP) organisations for affordable housing provision. Design/Methodology/Approach: Exploratory interviews were undertaken with five diverse NFP (non-housing) organisations. Findings: The research indicates that NFPs who are not principally engaged in housing provision, but hold surplus or under-utilised land and property assets, may be willing partners in affordable housing provision. However a range of institutional and structural barriers would need to be overcome for housing developments to occur on under-utilised NFP land holdings. Research limitations/Implications: The small scale of the study limits generalisation from the research findings. However, the findings point to an opportunity for innovation in housing land supply that warrants larger scale research. Takeaway for practice: That a source of well-located land is potentially available for future affordable housing provision, but that Not-for-Profit organisations would require resourcing in order to make their land available for this purpose. Originality/value: There has been no research on how NFP organisations view suggestions to repurpose their land for affordable housing despite at least one Australian jurisdiction actively encouraging this outcome. This paper reports the first Australian study of dispositions and barriers to the re-use NFP land assets. Social implications: Well-located land is a major cost input for the provision of affordable housing, and the repurposing of NFP land or assets for affordable housing could make a significant contribution to the stock of social housing.

Swan song: Lamenting Ireland's traditional past in Song of the Sea (Tomm Moore 2014)
Creators: name: Burke, Liam
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: In the 2008 Irish Film and Television Review for this journal I used the release of Tomm Moores The Secret of Kells to chart animations position within Irish national cinema. In concluding the review I suggested that, Perhaps sometime in the near - future, the film representing Ireland at the Academy Awards will come from drawing on a national identity (Burke 2009: 191). These comments seemed prescient just a year later when The Secret of Kells received an Academy Award nomination for Best Animated Feature. However further predictions proved less accurate with the review proposing that Tomm Moores film, alongside the release of Magma Films Niko & the Way to the Stars (Hegner and Juusonen 2008), "found the Irish film industry on the cusp of achieving a consistent level of Irish animated feature production" (Burke 2009: 187). Sustained production of Irish animated features has not been realised in the intervening years, although a number of animation companies have become market leaders in television.
Designed pleasure: how advertising is selling food as drugs
Creators: name: Vodeb, Oliver
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This chapter will focus on advertising representations of heavily engineered addictive food. I will argue that there is a direct link between illegal drug culture and addictive food culture, on the level of representations of ways of consumption as well as rhetoric, created and maintained through advertising of the legitimate, commercial 'high impact' food industry. Advertising is by purpose designed in a way that is unreflected upon by consumers and the wider public, as it renders the culture of addiction invisible through its communicative integration into discourses of pleasure. At the same time, such advertising directly promotes food in particular ways, which directly enhance the drug like aspects of food. Such advertising is designed to precondition the consumer and create a relationship between the consumer and promoted food, which in turn, should maximise profits of the advertiser and strengthen the consumer's relation to the most potent substances of food that create states of pleasure. Fast foods, food high in sugar, with a high glycemic index, high in salt and fat and as well as a combination of these are perfect for creating addiction. This chemical engineering is also supported by a marketing discourse that, heavily designed through advertising, creates a superficial culture of pleasure. This pleasure driven advertising culture is a legitimate, commercially enforced and legal drug culture.
Evolutionary population synthesis for binary stellar populations

description: We present integrated colours, integrated spectral energy distributions, and absorption-line indices, for instantaneous burst solar-metallicity binary stellar populations with ages in the range l-15Gyr. By comparing the results for populations with and without binary interactions we show that the inclusion of binary interactions makes the appearance of the population substantially bluer - this is the case for each of the quantities we have considered. This effect raises the derived age and metallicity of the population. Therefore it is necessary to consider binary interactions in order to draw accurate conclusions from evolutionary population synthesis work.

description: The CJEU's Achbita and Bougnaoui decisions on workplace bans of Islamic headscarves are disappointing as they are not providing enough guidance to the national courts concerning the criteria that they need to take into consideration in their attempts to find a balance between the rights in conflict. The judgments do not provide any criteria for the admissibility of dress codes other than that they should be neutral and objectively justified. Even those terms though are not analysed by the court in a sufficient manner.

description: On March 29th, Theresa May will notify the EU Council of the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the EU. This is the result of the Brexit referendum which, for the first time in the United Kingdom’s constitutional history, has opened up a powerful new source of popular sovereignty as a social fact. It is necessary for the constitutional integrity of the United Kingdom that this new stream of popular social legitimacy is realigned with the existing stream of Parliamentary Sovereignty. The most effective and desirable way in which to achieve this would be for a General Election to take place.

description: The Spanish legislative burdens the Constitutional Court with the task to prevent Catalonia from pursuing independence. To use the Constitutional Court as the main barricade against any attempt at starting the independence process does tremendous damage to the Court itself as it undermines its perception as neutral arbiter and, thereby, its legitimation.

description: The document represents the reference for the software integration and the experiments performed in the VR-Together project. It aims to describe the requirements, the architecture and how the experimental work envisaged to implement the main paradigm outlined in VR-Together: the creation of a platform, and the corresponding media content, that allows two, or more users to feel as if they were together in a virtual environment. The togetherness feeling is provided delivering photorealistic content, both for media and end-user representations
STRONG EVIDENCE for the DENSITY-WAVE THEORY of SPIRAL STRUCTURE in DISK GALAXIES

description: The density-wave theory of galactic spiral-arm structure makes a striking prediction that the pitch angle of spiral arms should vary with the wavelength of the galaxy's image. The reason is that stars are born in the density wave but move out of it as they age. They move ahead of the density wave inside the co-rotation radius, and fall behind outside of it, resulting in a tighter pitch angle at wavelengths that image stars (optical and near-infrared) than those that are associated with star formation (far-infrared and ultraviolet). In this study we combined large sample size with wide range of wavelengths, from the ultraviolet to the infrared to investigate this issue. For each galaxy we used an optical wavelength image (B-band: 445 nm) and images from the Spitzer Space Telescope at two infrared wavelengths (infrared: 3.6 and 8.0 μm) and we measured the pitch angle with the 2DFFT and Spirality codes. We find that the B-band and 3.6 μm images have smaller pitch angles than the infrared 8.0 μm image in all cases, in agreement with the prediction of density-wave theory. We also used images in the ultraviolet from Galaxy Evolution Explorer, whose pitch angles agreed with the measurements made at 8 μm.

description: The latest efforts of the Polish government to reform the judiciary have met with fierce criticism both nationally and internationally. A new legislation concerning the National Council for the Judiciary has recently been introduced to the Polish Parliament and awaits deliberation. The approach the Polish government has chosen is indeed problematic in the light of European standards for Councils for the Judiciary – but so is the German model of selecting judges, which the Polish governments explicitly refers to as a point of reference for their reform.

description: Dans le paysage juridique français, la censure d'œuvres littéraires est généralement encadrée par des procédures administratives spécifiques, impliquant l'émission de décrets d'interdiction qui suivent un processus légal clairement défini. Toutefois, un mécanisme de censure plus pernicieux semble émerger à travers l'action du Parquet National Antiterroriste (PNAT) : l'utilisation de l'infraction d'apologie et de provocation au terrorisme pour interdire des ouvrages littéraires. Cet article explore cette pratique qui semble contourner l'ordre administratif établi.

description: Das neue BKA-Gesetz soll eine Regelung zur Fußfessel für so genannte Gefährder enthalten, die als Modell für die Landesgesetzgebung dienen soll. Die Vorlage einer verfassungsrechtlich umstrittenen Regelung durch den Bund soll die Länder sicherheitsrechtlich inspirieren. Doch die Verfassungsordnung setzt Grenzen. Die Frage, ob Bund oder Länder besser in der Lage sind, Sicherheit zu gewährleisten, bedarf differenzierender Antworten, bei denen die Ebene der Europäischen Union einzubeziehen ist. Effektivität ist nicht der einzige Maßstab. Hinzu tritt vorrangig die angemessene Wahrung der Freiheit.
