Diverging and converging patterns of possession: Allang in its Central Maluku context
Creators: name: Ewing, Michael C.
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: The language of Allang village, together with the closely related varieties spoken in Wakasihu and Larike, stands out among East Central Maluku languages in having developed a complete paradigm of independent possessive pronouns. Additionally, the alienable-inalienable distinction found in other East Central Maluku languages appears to have vanished in this language group. I first present a scenario for the emergence of the Allang-style possessive pronoun paradigm, followed by discussion of structures (among the classifier system, the expression of part-whole relationships, and alternations among certain lexical suffixes) which all point to an older system of inalienable possession marking as their source. Allang, the only Christian village in this group, has experienced a radical shift to Malay usage during the twentieth century and now only a few people above age 70 are fluent speakers. The possessive and related constructions occurring in all three varieties would have developed at a time when all were robust languages and these constructions show a interesting divergence from other East Central Maluku languages. I conclude by describing possessive structures which are emerging among Allang speakers during the current process of language shift, structures that appear to be moving in the direction of a reconvergence with other emergent possessive constructions in Central Maluku.

Defining the concept of loanword in Japanese: results from a survey of 860 respondents

description: The Japanese term gairaigo is frequently used as a gloss for loanword. However, formal Japanese definitions 0f gairaigo generally exclude words borrowed from Chinese from the scope of this term. Upon inspection of the usage of the main Japanese terms for the three main word categories wago (native Japanese words), kango (words of Chinese origin) and gairaigo (loanwords), it was found that words were classified not by actual origin, but by apparent origin. Consequently, both the kango and gairaigo portions of the Japanese vocabulary contain both loanwords and words coined in Japan from borrowed elements. In surveys of the responses of the Japanese public to gairaigo, the definition of this term has not generally been ascertained even though the influx of gairaigo into everyday life has been one of the main issues polled in most surveys on public attitudes towards current language use in Japan. The present paper reports the results obtained when a question concerning the definition of gairaigo was included in a survey of attitudes to gairaigo. It was found that over 30% of respondents did not concur with the formal definition of this term. These respondents included kango in the definition, thereby adopting a more literal interpretation of gairaigo than that found in the academic literature.

description: How do translations contribute to the construction of social identity? In what ways can translation play a role in the process of nation-building? Tracing the various pathways taken by a Kanak origin story, Téâ Kanaké, from its source in the oral tradition of the Paicî language, to written French, this paper situates translations of elements of Kanak oral tradition in the context of the nation-building project currently underway in Kanaky/New Caledonia, a French territory on the path to decolonisation.
Possessive constructions in a language contact situation: Tahitian French
Creators: name: Love, Susan
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This study forms part of a research project on the description of French as spoken in Tahiti. Tahitian French consists of a range of features largely resulting from contact-induced change which distinguish it from standard French. This particular aspect of the research examines the influence of Tahitian patterns in forming non-standard possessive constructions in the French of Tahitians. The study proposes to determine if Tahitian French constructions are affected by the Polynesian inalienable/alienable 'o/a' possessive classification system present in Tahitian, Tahitian VSO word order as opposed to French SVO, and the differing prepositional systems. This work in progress proposes some observations on the possessive system of Tahitian French, establishing the existence of stable structures within parameters of variation. These structures often do not conform to standard French, but show adaptation, though not necessarily directly, of French structures to Tahitian patterns.
Possession in Souw Amana Teru: internally and externally motivated change
Creators: name: Musgrave, Simon
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This paper discusses the range of structures used to code possession in the Central Moluccan language Souw Amana Teru. In particular, data is presented to show that this area of the grammar is undergoing change in at least three ways. First, the explicit pronominal coding of alienable possession has almost vanished. Second, the coding of inalienable possession is weakening rapidly. And thirdly, a new strategy now exists for interpreting sequences of two nouns; whereas historically the first noun was the possessor in such structures, it has now become possible for the second noun to be the possessor. The first of these changes can be seen as the result of internally motivated change, but I argue that contact with varieties of Malay has had some influence in the other two cases.
Grammatical structures in code-switching among second generation Chinese-Australian students
Creators: name: Zheng, Lin
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This paper is based on an analysis of audio-recordings of interviews conducted at three primary schools in Victoria. The syntactic convergence or transference, which accompanies switching takes place at three levels: typological, structural, and classificatory. The Matrix Language Frame Model (Myers-Scotton 1993b, 1997a), revised to include the Composite Matrix Language (Bolonyai 1998), successfully deals with all forms of switching in my corpus. However, it is highly doubtful if grammatical constraints (Clyne 1987) as such exist in switching between Chinese and English. My data rather supports the existence of facilitators or tendencies.

description: We study the quantitative stability of critical points of the fractional Sobolev inequality. We show that, for a non-negative function $u \in \dot H^s(\mathbb R^N)$ whose energy satisfies $$\tfrac{1}{2} S^\frac{N}{2s}_{N,s} \le \|u\|_{\dot H^s(\mathbb R^N)} \le \tfrac{3}{2}S_{N,s}^\frac{N}{2s},$$ where $S_{N,s}$ is the optimal Sobolev constant, the bound $$ \|u -U[z,λ]\|_{\dot{H}^s(\mathbb R^N)} \lesssim \|(-Δ)^s u - u^{2^*_s-1}\|_{\dot{H}^{-s}(\mathbb R^N)}, $$ holds for a suitable fractional Talenti bubble $U[z,λ]$. {For functions $u$ which are close to Talenti bubbles, we give the sharp asymptotic value of the implied constant in this inequality.} As an application {of this}, we derive an explicit polynomial extinction rate for positive solutions to a fractional fast diffusion equation.

Artificial SA-I, RA-I and RA-II/Vibrotactile Afferents for Tactile Sensing of Texture
Creators: name: Pestell, Nicholas
name: Lepora, Nathan F.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: Robotics (cs.RO)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Robot touch can benefit from how humans perceive tactile textural information, from the stimulation mode to which tactile channels respond, then the tactile cues and encoding. Using a soft biomimetic tactile sensor (the TacTip) based on the physiology of the dermal-epidermal boundary, we construct two biomimetic tactile channels based on slowly-adapting SA-I and rapidly-adapting RA-I afferents, and introduce an additional sub-modality for vibrotactile information with an embedded microphone interpreted as an artificial RA-II channel. These artificial tactile channels are stimulated dynamically with a set of 13 artificial rigid textures comprising raised-bump patterns on a rotating drum that vary systematically in roughness. Methods employing spatial, spatio-temporal and temporal codes are assessed for texture classification insensitive to stimulation speed. We find: (i) spatially-encoded frictional cues provide a salient representation of texture; (ii) a simple transformation of spatial tactile features to model natural afferent responses improves the temporal coding; and (iii) the harmonic structure of induced vibrations provides a pertinent code for speed-invariant texture classification. Just as human touch relies on an interplay between slowly-adapting (SA-I), rapidly-adapting (RA-I) and vibrotactile (RA-II) channels, this tripartite structure may be needed for future robot applications with human-like dexterity, from prosthetics to materials testing, handling and manipulation.

German as a contact language in South Africa: linguistic perspectives
Creators: name: Franke, Katharina
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This paper explores existing literature and linguistic research on German as spoken in South Africa from a language contact perspective. Following a brief overview of the situation of German speakers in South Africa, this paper presents a survey of various linguistic features of South African German, by drawing extensively on data from the study of German in South Africa by Stielau (1980). Structural changes in the morpho-syntax and syntax will be discussed in detail. I will conclude by briefly considering possessive pronoun constructions in South African German thereby reviewing the issue of explaining language change in language contact situations.
Tonal aspects of code-switching
Creators: name: Zheng, Lin
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This paper examines the tonal aspects on code-switching among Chinese-Australian bilingual children. Fifteen boys and fifteen girls aged from six to ten were chosen from three different primary schools in Victoria. Chinese is a tone language with a very highly constrained syllable structure. Mandarin Chinese has four basic tones with an additional neutral tone. The Chinese fourth falling tone corresponds to English intonation. A Chinese third curve tone, when immediately followed by a first, second, or fourth tone or most neutral tones, usually becomes a half third tone, that is, the tone that only falls but does not rise. In addition, both the neutral tone words and the words with a weak stress are pronounced in a falling tone, the same as English. When the switches to English occur, they are usually following the Chinese fourth, half third and neutral falling tones or weak stress of word. These fading tones may also facilitate transitions between Chinese and English.

Interlanguage features of learners of English as a second language: from a multi-dimensional perspective
Creators: name: Zhang, Mingjiang
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This study examined syntactic features in the interlanguage of learners of English as a second language (ESL) via tasks of conversation and free essay-writing. Data were collected from sixty international students of different first language backgrounds at the Monash University English Language Centre and examined with regard to language style, typological universal and language transfer. Results showed that interlanguage did vary in tandem with style in various syntactic aspects, that the typological universal (the Accessibility Hierarchy) was supported by the data, but that language transfer did not seem to play an important part in the use of topic-comment structure. The findings of the study suggest that examination from a multi-dimensional perspective provides a richer picture of English interlanguage features under investigation.
Joint production of intercultural discourse: communication in a multicultural workplace
Creators: name: Neil, Deborah M.
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This paper is based on an analysis of audio-recordings of naturally occurring interactions conducted in English in a multicultural workplace. The participants are non-native speakers of English from diverse ethnolinguistic backgrounds. Whilst such interactions are commonly associated with cross-cultural miscommunication, findings revealed that these speakers adopt a collaborative style of discourse in their interactions. Examples are presented of some of the strategies which facilitate their construction of mutually intelligible meanings. The observations of this study are consistent with previous studies of strategic competence (Faerch and Kasper 1984) and meaning negotiation (Long 1982, Canale 1983) among second language learners. However, this research draws on the insights of research on collaborative discourse among native English speakers (e.g. Coates 1989, 1993, Ferrara 1992) to emphasise the relevance of joint text production in the intercultural context. The paper concludes with the presentation and discussion of a model of collaborative intercultural discourse.
Trolls dat speak / Vat did you say? Literary translation approaches to cultural references and Terry Pratchett's novels in German translation
Creators: name: Geeson, Rhiannyn
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This paper highlights the challenge presented to translators by a specific form of intertextual referencing, namely that of hyperculturality—references to the wider cultural environment. Through the use of examples drawn from original works of the popular British writer, Terry Pratchett, and from the German translations, the use of speech patterns to create culturally-specific characters which represent a 'transtextual' relationship to culture, and its translation into another culture, is discussed. The strategies employed by the German translator are then contrasted with some possibilities offered by the relevant translation strategies of Umberto Eco and Lawrence Venuti.

description: The research project seeks to improve the economic and environmental performance of the pulp and paper industry by incorporating a biorefinery. This is achieved by formulating a mathematical optimization model. Next, it is desired to study how the optimization solution would change when there are multiple business parties involved in the decision-making process. A framework is developed which considers the preference and priority of each business party regarding the optimal solution. The framework would then determine an optimal solution which is fair among all parties.
Bilingual interjections: evidence from Croatian-English code-switching
Creators: name: Hlavac, Jim
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This paper examines the presence of English-origin interjections - affirmatives and negatives - in otherwise Croatian speech. Previous examinations of bilingual discourse marking has focused on habitualisation, pragmatic transference, cognitive processes (in terms of reducing the "mental load" of distinguishing between two systems) or psycholinguistic factors (eg. "non-deactivation" of pragmatic forms from one language which speakers habitually speak). However, such studies only address transference of pragmatic norms, whether features and/or forms. They have limited explanatory power where speakers employ discourse forms from one language and equivalent forms from the other language there. This study examines the frequency and functionality of English-origin forms compared to Croatian ones. Findings here show that English forms generally co-occur with Croatian forms in a statistical sense and only displace Croatian ones where English forms are polyfunctional or perform more functions that their Croatian counterparts. This accounts for the higher statistical frequency of yeah, while forms such as no or nah occur roughly to the same degree as their Croatian equivalents. Thus, linguistic, in particular micro-discourse features are shown to influence selection of interjections.

Participation frameworks, discourse features and embedded requests in police V.A.T.E. interviews with children

Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This paper examines training interviews conducted as a part of the Video and Audio Taping of Evidence (VATE) project run by the Victorian Police Force. Transcriptions of seven video-taped interviews between police officers and children aged eight to eleven years formed the corpus of data for this study. Adopting an Interactional Sociolinguistics framework in order to examine certain discourse features of the interviews, it was found that the data could not be classified as typical of police institutional discourse such as that described by Auburn, Drake and Willig (1995:384) and Thomas (1989:137). Features such as frames and participant roles in the interviews as well as discoursal indicators (Thomas 1989) indicate an asymmetrical discourse structure said to be typical of institutional talk. However, other features of the data such as receipt markers (Atkinson 1992) were found to be indicative of a less formal style of discourse where such asymmetry is less common. Thus it was concluded that the notion of institutional discourse as asymmetrical discourse with asymmetrical patterns is problematicized by data such as that analyzed here.

A consideration of the "traditional terms"
Creators: name: Van Polanen Petel, Humphrey P.
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: The so-called 'traditional terms' have long been seen as problematic and the argument continues about what precisely they might refer to. This article finds that there are essentially two different perspectives such that the notion of a 'part of speech' represents either a mental or a grammatical distinction. Accordingly, the problem with the traditional terms can be said to have arisen out of a conflation of these two perspectives. If we assume that the 'parts of speech' represent grammatical distinctions then the traditional terms are effectively meaningless, because from a grammatical perspective, the 'parts of speech' are not universal concepts. However, if we assume they represent mental distinctions then they would be best understood as notions that represent aspects of the world-view of people using them.
Previously unexamined texts in Victorian languages: the manuscripts of Rev. William Thomas (1793-1867)
Creators: name: Morey, Stephen

description: Most of the records of the Aboriginal languages of Victoria were written down by untrained people in the 19th century. One of the most prolific was the Rev William Thomas (1793-1867), who was Assistant Protector of the Aborigines in the early days of colonisation of what is now Victoria. This article and the thesis upon which it was based closely examine for the first time the linguistic data collected by Thomas in two main sources - his manuscript notes now in the Mitchell Library, Sydney, and a manuscript entitled A lexicon of the Australian Aboriginal languages in the six dialects of Ballarat, Bacchus Marsh, Melbourne, Gippsland, Mount Gambier and Wonnin..., now in the State Library of Victoria. The valuable linguistics data about the various languages in these sources is exemplified, discussed and compared with modem linguistic studies of the languages concerned.
Code-switching patterns in the speech of Romanian-English bilinguals
Creators: name: Beligan, Anamaria
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This paper is an attempt to explore the code-switching patterns in the speech of two Romanian English bilingual males, M and V, currently living in Melbourne. The informants have a friendly relationship and visit each other regularly - however their socio-economic background is different: V is a well educated urban professional, whereas M is a driver/tour operator, and comes from a remote village in Northern Romania. The paper examines the types of psycholinguistically-conditioned and discourse-related switches that are used by the two informants, and attempts to provide two different profiles of switchers. It is found that M code-switches freely, without self-censorship, displaying his successful adjustment to Australian life. By contrast, V consistently attempts to excuse or to correct his code-switching, displaying a pre-disposition to avoid mixing languages. However, V appears to relinquish his self-censorship mechanism when code-switching for discourse-related reasons.

description: Studies relating to the passive construction have focused on two main areas: I) the universal characterisation of the construction, (Comrie 1977, Perlmutter and Postal 1983, Siewierska 1984 and Keenan 1985); and 2) the interested in the formulation of theories on the passive construction, (Chomsky 1965, 1981; Jaeggli 1986; Roberts 1987; Baker 1988; Afarli 1989, 1990; Perlmutter and Posta/ 1983; Postal, 1986;. Recent Government and Binding based approaches analyse the passive morpheme as an argument of the verb which must receive the External Theta-role and the Structural Case assigned by the verb (Roberts 1987; Baker 1988; and Afarli 1989, 1990) . This paper describes the passive construction in Kikamba and examines the descriptive adequacy of the Government and Binding claims.
Translating idiolects: Natalia Ginzburg's Lessico famigliare

Year: 2017

description: We look at the two English translations of Natalia Ginzburg's autobiographical narrative Lessico famigliare (1963) with a focus on the literary function of idiolects, and the challenges of translating them, particularly code-mixing between standard Italian, dialects and other languages. We draw on Bassnett-McGuire (who notes a tendency for translators to "fail to consider the way in which individual sentences form part of the total structure") (1980:115), Berman (who argues that source text markers, such as idiolects, form part of an "underlying network of signification within the text as a whole") (2000:292-3) and Gutt (who maintains that a successful translation will recognise and address the relevancy of the role played by idiolects in the text) (2000). We agree with Eco (2003) when he argues that losses and gains are inevitable in any translation process and problems must be negotiated individually. We would suggest that an effective strategy for translators may be to negotiate solutions from their specific places within what Pym (1998) calls 'intercultures', points of cultural overlap between source and target texts.
Managing roles in the openings and closings of an Italian oral test

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This paper reports on one of the findings of a study of twenty-one interactions that occurred during the 1992 Victorian Certificate of Education Italian Oral Common Assessment Task (CAT 2). One of the main aims of the study was to see how roles are constrained by the institutional character of the setting. This was done by examining the interactions occurring in the openings and closings of each segment of the CAT using a Conversation Analysis approach. Not surprisingly, it was found that the assessors initiate and conclude the opening and closing segments of the CAT Violations of this format are rare and when they do occur, the assessors act quickly to reaffirm the roles of each of the participants using features of ordinary conversation. The opening arid closing boundaries also provide one of the few environments in the CAT where students ask and indeed are invited to ask questions. The major sequences in these boundaries are made up of adjacency pairs such as questions and answers, greetings and leave taking and basic expansion sequences.
Using systemic functional linguistics in university teaching: a postgraduate class on making writing more "readable"
Creators: name: Chanock, Kate
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: While systemic functional linguistics illuminates many of the language practices of university students, its terminology can be daunting. I am interested in finding ways of offering insights from systemics with the minimum of jargon, to help students with the problems they experience in negotiating academic discourse. One such attempt is a session for postgraduates on density in writing, and some differences between speaking and writing in academic contexts. The session, described in this paper, suggests ways making writing more readable, and a procedure by which students can identify the linguistic changes needed to turn a chapter or article into an oral presentation.
Vietnamese-English bilinguals in Melbourne: social relationships in code-switching of personal pronouns
Creators: name: Ho-Dac, Tuc

description: This paper investigates the code-switching of personal pronouns in the speech of Vietnamese-English bilinguals in Melbourne. The highly complex system of person reference in Vietnamese has no counterparts in the English speaking world, and is examined in this paper. Relying on Myers-Scotton's Markedness Model (1993), I discuss in some detail the code-switching of English personal pronouns and argue that the switching of personal pronouns is to signal a change in the relationship between the addressor and the addressee.
Failure of the parent to respond to a child's action: a violation or an interactional display?
Creators: name: Filipi, Anna
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: It is well documented in the literature on developmental pragmatics that parents are highly responsive to a child's initiating action, be it a vocalisation or a gestural action (for example, Bruner 1983; Harding 1984). However, in analysing toddler/parent interaction it has also become apparent that there are recurring instances of a parent's failure to respond to such actions. In the study to be reported in this paper, Conversation Analysis was used to analyse the interactions between three toddlers and their parents in everyday activities. Six environments where a parent failed to respond to the child's pointing gesture were identified. An attempt is made to show what is being achieved through such an action and how this is consequential for the ensuing talk.
Reclaiming the commons: participatory democracy and revitalising citizens’ role in the management of community halls
Creators: name: Mackenzie, Wendy
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: South American practices of participatory democracy have much to offer local government in NSW in re-invigorating community civic involvement in the management of community spaces. Barriers created by a restriction of representation and loss of democratic dialogue within a neo-liberal marketplace environment have constricted opportunities for local community democratic planning and management. The demands placed by new manageralism in one local government area in NSW with regards to the management of local community halls has resulted in loss of social capital and the disempowerment of local citizens. This article discusses proposals to educate for the revitalisation of local democratic conversation and citizen planning, and the adjustment of local government legislation to include participatory democratic processes, and it explores the possibility of participatory budgeting by the community through the current community halls management committees. The role of community development workers is to facilitate this process through supporting a changed paradigm which privileges the democratic over the market, the citizen over the consumer and validates the lived experience of community members in researching, identifying and managing issues which effect their lives.

That realisation has led me to focus on issues of power, racism and oppression in my social and community welfare teaching and I am endeavouring to develop a model of teaching that not only raises these issues and strategies to address them for practice but provides an educational environment that enables students to experience such a model. This paper examines the process of integrating my personal experience with my professional teaching and welfare practice and offers some ideas about how social and community welfare students might learn to be genuinely inclusive professional workers through their educational experience.
Does the length of training determine the effectiveness of counselling practice?
Creators: name: Murray, Ian

description: The length of training has little to do with the outcomes of psychotherapy and counselling. Those with considerably less training are just as effective, or even more so, when compared to those with advanced specialised degrees, such as in psychotherapy, clinical psychology or social work. The publication of innumerable articles and studies over at least a forty-year period, often by research psychologists, supports this contention. This paper explores the evidence that concludes there is equivalence in effectiveness between paraprofessionals and professionals, and in some studies, evidence of superior client outcomes for paraprofessionals. The importance of the therapeutic alliance in determining outcomes for clients is underscored.
Did I miss anything? Students and university lectures

description: As a cultural object, the university lecture has withstood the passage of time despite challenges to its value. This paper reports on results from student based studies in the School of Psychology, Social Work & Social Policy, focused on perceptions about the university lecture. It emphasises that certain factors support students’ learning from lectures whereas others obstructs this. It also uncovers a range of reasons for first year students attending lectures or staying away and their use of online resources. Based on these research outcomes, other findings from the literature and reflections about these sources of data, the paper makes some suggestions about how processes surrounding the lecture could be adjusted to better support current first year students to become better engaged in their learning. As well, it suggests that developing self-efficacy is important to both current learning and to students’ future professional practice in social work, psychology and other human service. Relevant literature shows that in general, university students appear less engaged in their learning than in the past but they also have firmer expectations about what they want from lectures and other learning processes. Students are also ‘time poor’ as many hours of paid work and other responsibilities mean they may question the need to attend lectures at all especially if teaching and learning processes do not capture their interest. As a consequence, lecturers may feel increasing pressure to attract students’ attendance by employing a range of other media. Literature from Australia and other countries however, critiques the value of both traditional and more innovative approaches to lecturing in universities.
Emerging tensions in the use of assessment tools in home and community care

description: Access to community care services for older people and younger people with disabilities is based on the assessed needs of individuals seeking assistance to remain at home in the community. This paper reviews literature related to use of assessment tools in community care in the context of findings from a Victorian study that focussed upon initial needs assessment processes in home and community care. The trend toward more formalised (and potentially standardised) assessment tools in community care assessment may give rise to unintended tensions that potentially undermine the critical thinking and flexibility required to assess need across diverse populations. Training and professional development for community care assessment, where the focus is on critical thinking, rather than on the use of assessment tools alone is suggested.
Fighting the drugs war: the role of prohibitionist groups in Australian illicit drugs policy

description: Prohibitionist lobby groups appear to be exerting an increasing influence on Australian illicit drugs policy. Yet remarkably little is known about their history, membership, sources of funding, political and ideological agenda, and employment of empirical evidence. This paper provides a critical introduction to their key activities and objectives. Some conclusions are drawn about their current and likely future influence on national drugs policy.
Developing a practice framework

description: This paper will outline the key elements of my professional identity, giving the reader a portrait of how I will operate as a social welfare worker. My practice framework includes a discussion of the values of social justice, accountability, transparency and congruence which I feel strongly about. Included is an evaluation of postmodernism, systems theory and anti-oppressive theories, three theories which have best informed my practice, and how these theories were revised, modified or confirmed (O’Connor, Wilson & Setterlund 2003:217). Issues such as the influence of the medical model in welfare work and the use of principles similar to those used during the time of the stolen generation posed a challenge to my practice on placement. I have discovered my professional identity is shaped by my belief that change is possible and can occur. I have identified closely with critical social work practice and a reflective approach.
The hidden young face of care

description: Young people who provide unpaid care to someone with an illness or disability in their households can remain unrecognised by practitioners within the health and social care system as the focus is usually on the presenting individual or those who require care. Practitioners working in the health and social care system should have knowledge and awareness of who young carers are and their circumstances. This article seeks to raise the profile of young carers so that practitioners are able to recognise and provide holistic care to the family and provide resource and support opportunities for young people who provide care.

description: Immunotherapy based on T cells is a new therapy for Acute myeloid leukemia (AML). However, there has not been considerable improvement compared with traditional chemotherapeutics. This study aimed to identify important immune cells, genes, and drugs associated with the immunotherapy of AML. The gene expression profile and clinical data of patients with AML were downloaded from TCGA database, and the abundance ratio of immune cells was obtained via CIBERSORT. Kaplan–Meier (KM) survival analysis was used to assess the relationship between immune cells and survival time of patients with AML. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) analysis was conducted to obtained DEGs related to mast cells. Then, protein-protein interaction (PPI) analysis and enrichment analysis were performed to explore the hub genes. Finally, Connectivity Map (CMap) database was utilized to predicts potential drugs that may reverse or induce the mast cell-related gene expression. Our study showed that mast cell was correlated with survival time of patients with AML, and 135 genes were screened to be related with mast cells. 6 hub genes were identified via PPI network, and 3 potential small molecule drugs were screened to be related to regulating the mast cell-related gene expression via CMap database. The hub genes and drugs have high research value and clinical application in AML therapy. Our study not only provides gene targets and small molecule drugs for AML immunotherapy concerning mast cells but also provides new ideas for researchers to explore immunotherapy targets of other tumors.
Developing a social enterprise project idea with the disadvantaged from the 'bottom up'

description: This paper looks at a small pilot project which aimed to develop an antipoverty strategy with a small number of disadvantaged people in inner-urban Melbourne. The main objective of the project was to facilitate a small group of people so that they themselves could develop a social enterprise idea as a way of addressing some of their issues of poverty. The pilot study also tried to ascertain whether the participating welfare agency would be interested in integrating such a project idea into its existing services. The paper discusses some of the processes and difficulties involved in arriving at the participants’ social enterprise idea, clearly showing that the disadvantaged people themselves have the capacity to contribute to the development of similar antipoverty project ideas.

description: Social workers and other human services workers are increasingly required to justify their decisions based upon defendable knowledge. This paper describes an innovative process that was employed to facilitate knowledge-guided practice among human service workers in child protection. The process incorporated the running of training workshops with time limited follow-up support, at the workplace level, on significant practice topics. In addition to describing the process, we identify salient principles of the workshop and mentoring processes that could be incorporated into ongoing professional development programs. Throughout, the paper is informed by our own reflections on the implementation of workshops with child protection workers and comments received from workshop participants in relation to the benefits and challenges of strengthening knowledge-guided practice in the workplace.
