Global Design: innovative curricula towards global collaboration
Creators: name: de Vere, Ian

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Increasingly design teams are engaged in distributed global working in either synchronous or asynchronous time modes. Such scenarios present diverse workplace challenges with regard to communication, coordination and collaboration. Distributed design teams occupy both physical and virtual environments, and project managers must address issues relating to trust, unrealistic or inequitable expectations, cultural diversity, challenging logistics and unusual group dynamics. Differing work methods and behaviour may result in inter-team rivalry, misconceptions and unintended consequences with regard to project intent, processes and outcome. Tools, teams and environments must be carefully structured and managed to realise the potential strengths of global distributed design. Contributing to the Erasmus Mundus Global Innovation Management course, the 'Global Design' unit addresses global product design and team management, where concurrent or sequential activities occur with responsibilities shared amongst distributed teams with limited informal interaction or social connectivity. In the design projects international Masters students at University of Strathclyde, Glasgow collaborate with design and engineering students from Swinburne University of Technology, Melbourne (in asynchronous mode) and the University of Malta (in synchronous mode). Students utilise strategic methods, work cooperatively and manage workloads, responsibilities and product design development across cultural, language and time constraints. The experience gained in global distributed working is invaluable, and students develop understanding of societal, economic and environmental impacts of globalised design, manufacturing and distribution. This paper describes curricula that focuses on processes and tools for global product design and development, and prepares students for non-traditional work environments and practices. Opportunities exist for development of new global synergies of understanding and cooperation, leading towards sustainable, responsible and equitable global product development. The authors (visiting Erasmus Mundus academic fellows) joined the course in its second year, contributing with lectures, studio teaching and curriculum development.

description: The Rich Context project at NYU Wagner is the knowledge graph complement to the ADRF platform for cross-agency social science research using sensitive data, currently used by 50+ agencies. Rich Context represents metadata about datasets and their use in research which in turn influences public policy, with a goal of producing recommender systems for analysts and policymakers. Most all of the code is open source. This talk introduces the background for the project, our team process for collaboration, and several areas where machine learning is used to infer or clean metadata obtained from scholarly infrastructure and for semi-automated graph construction, along with human-in-the-loop feedback mechanisms for domain experts to help improve our graph.

description: We assessed the abilities of rice husk (RH), rice husk carbon (RHC), and peat to adsorb Cr, Fe, Mn, Ni, Zn, and Pb from aqueous solutions compared with commercial activated carbon (AC). The sorbent capacities were evaluated by percolation of aqueous solutions containing these six metals through adsorbent columns. Metal concentration was monitored by total reflection X-ray fluorescence (TXRF). Initial metal concentrations added to the columns were between 25 and 50 mg L−1, while those in the treated effluent ranged from 0.004 to 0.96 mg L−1. The adsorption capacities of the sorbents for these metals were examined by non-linear Langmuir and Freundlich models. The maximum adsorptive capacities expressed as individual metal (qm) sums were 67.7, 86.9, 80, and 44.6 mg g−1 for AC, RHC, peat, and RH, respectively. The resulting isotherm parameters were used to compare the performance of the sorbents and to determine the ΔG values. After percolation through the adsorbent columns, the ecotoxicity of the eluates were determined with the probe Daphnia magna. Effluents from the rice husk sorbent column exhibited the lowest toxicity. Supplemental materials are available for this article.

description: In southern Sweden, maintaining high cervid densities through supplemental feeding has become a common management practice. We aim at investigating deer browsing pressure on young Norway spruce in relation to distance from supplemental feeding sites. Because available forage is considered important in understanding browsing patterns, we modeled several factors affecting food availability, and their interaction effect with distance. We confirmed earlier studies about a locally high browsing pressure on natural vegetation adjacent to supplemental feeding sites where browsing pressure declined with distance and alternative forage abundance. Novel is that browsing on spruce occurred in 27.6% of the investigated plots. The browsing pressure of those plots averaged 9%. Distance was the most important factor in relation to browsing. The interactive effect of occurring field layer (FL), and deciduous trees was also highlighted as these significantly affected the relationship between browsing pressure on spruce and distance. In the studied conditions, browsing pressure ceased at ca. 205 m, whereas in scenarios of an abundant FL, browsing levels were negligible already at 0 m from supplemental feeding sites. We suspect that most of the browsing was caused by fallow deer in our study area.

Yes we can: Barack Obama, graphic design and liberal democratic process
Creators: name: Hepworth, Katherine
Publisher: name: Swinburne

description: The love affair between design and liberal democratic politics is perhaps nowhere more evident in the world today than in the campaigning for the United States' presidential election. The coverage of the races for both the election and the presidential candidate nomination for the National Democratic Party has been marked by significant local and international interest in the visual language employed by Barack Obama's campaign. The winning effect of a sophisticated branding campaign incorporating graphic design on a level not seen before in American politics has not only had first time voters in thrall, but has charmed the mainstream and design press too.

description: AIMS: To explore veterinary perceptions of inherited disorders in pedigree dogs within New Zealand and how these affect animal health and welfare.METHODS: An online questionnaire was distributed to the 647 members of the Companion Animal Society of the New Zealand Veterinary Association using an online survey system. The questionnaire collected details of practitioners, pedigree dog breeds and disorders most often encountered in practice, and responses to questions and statements regarding inherited disorders and pedigree dogs.RESULTS: Of the 216 respondents, 194 (89.8%) believed inherited disorders in dogs were a significant issue. The most commonly identified breeds presenting with inherited disorders were Boxer, Bulldog and German Shepherd dog. The most commonly reported inherited disorders were hip dysplasia, brachycephalic syndromes and elbow dysplasia. Of 207 respondents, 100 (48.3%) had advised clients against purchasing a pedigree dog due to common inherited disorders and 183 (85.6%) considered the health and welfare of some breeds to be too compromised to continue breeding. Of 199 respondents, 132 (66.3%) reported seeing no change in prevalence of inherited conditions, 103/204 (50.5%) reported seeing a positive change in attitudes towards inherited disorders among dog owners, and 81/207 (39.1%) thought legislative support would help decrease inherited disorders in pedigree dogs. Attitudes were not associated with time since graduation or ownership of a New Zealand Kennel Club registered breed of dog. The most common suggestions to decrease prevalence of inherited disorders were to alter breed standards, educate public or buyers and compulsory genetic testing.CONCLUSIONS: Among respondents, veterinarians considered inherited disorders as significant issues in a number of pedigree breeds. Veterinarians were concerned about inherited disorders in pedigree dogs, felt they had an obligation to treat such animals and were supportive of measures to make genetic testing for inheritable disorders a requirement for registration of pedigree breeds.CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Prevalence and perceived importance of inherited disorders influences how clinicians advise their clients. Respondents to this survey provided a number of mechanisms by which inherited disorders may be managed and these could form the basis of future discussions within the profession.
Cash and working capital management in the Czech republic
Creators: name: Polak, Petr

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This paper outlines the changing financial scene in The Czech Republic, which is following the global pattern of institutional investors taking over the role of commercial banks as relationship banking is gradually giving way to transaction-driven banking. Investment-grade companies have become more reliant on direct financing and less reliant on intermediated financing. This is due both to reluctance by banks to extend credit facilities to high-grade corporates as they search for more lucrative returns on capital, and by the growth in the supply of capital by institutional and other non-bank investors. This growth in direct financing has been predominately in the form of unsecured and unregistered commercial paper issues. The relatively high Czech reference interest rates in the late 1990’s influenced the development of company debt financing, forcing companies to become more sophisticated and dynamic in their use of debt instruments and hedging tools as they attempt to manage the subsequent interest rate risk. The objectives of cash management are straightforward – maximise liquidity and control cash flows and maximise the value of funds while minimising the cost of funds. The strategies for meeting such objectives include varying degrees of long-term planning requirements. Also, like everywhere in the world, much treasury activity in the Czech Republic is concentrated on cash management. This includes financing the corporation, administration of debts (loans, bonds, commercial papers, etc.), good relationships with the banks, payments to suppliers and collections from customers, control of foreign currency and interest positions according to the company’s needs for finance, and finally the reporting and technical support of all these functions. The use of cash pooling as a global standard for concentrating cash into the main bank account of the firm, has very quickly found favour in corporates in the Czech Republic.

AI research and development often takes data as a starting point and focuses on building solutions to specific problems. But what happens when the data you have don’t tell you what you think, or if the problem you’re solving might not be a problem at all? Bringing a critical perspective into datafication and the decisions we make designing AI systems—long before any models are actually built—can help us to see who is included in AI and what makes AI applications ethical, equitable, and effective. Drawing on work in developing and analysing AI systems for information about human function and disability, I illustrate often-overlooked aspects of AI design with an outsize impact on how AI systems materialise people and disability in the world, and discuss emerging critical tools to inform work as a responsible AI practitioner.

description: Abelmoschus (Abelmoschus esculentus) or “lady’s finger” belongs to the Malvaceae family and is widely distributed in tropical and subtropical climates. Its historical origin and various names show how significant it is in different parts of the world. Each culture has given it different names based on its expertise: in India, it is called bhindi, in the USA, it is known as gumbo, in the UK, it is referred to as lady’s finger, and in Africa, it is called abelmoschus. This vegetable is not only used in cooking but also in the textile, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries.

description: Background: Simple appendicitis may be self-limiting or require antibiotic treatment or appendectomy. The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility and safety of a nonoperative, antibiotic-free approach for suspected simple appendicitis in children. Methods: This single-center, retrospective study included patients (0–17 years old) who were hospitalized at the pediatric surgery department due to suspected appendicitis between 2011 and 2012. Data from patients who primarily underwent appendectomy were used as controls. The follow-up of nonoperatively managed patients was conducted in 2014. The main outcome of interest was appendicitis recurrence. Results: A total of 365 patients were included: 226 were treated conservatively and 139 underwent appendectomy. Fourteen (6.2% of 226) of the primarily nonoperatively treated patients required secondary appendectomy during follow-up, and histology confirmed simple, uncomplicated appendicitis in 10 (4.4% of 226) patients. Among a subset of 53 patients managed nonoperatively with available Alvarado and/or Pediatric Appendicitis Scores and sonographic appendix diameters in clinical reports, 29 met the criteria for a high probability of appendicitis. Three of these patients (10.3% of 29) underwent secondary appendectomy. No complications were reported during follow-up. Conclusions: A conservative, antibiotic-free approach may be considered for pediatric patients with suspected uncomplicated appendicitis in a hospital setting. Only between 6 and 10% of these patients required secondary appendectomy. Nevertheless, the cohort of patients treated nonoperatively was likely to have also included individuals with further abdominal conditions other than appendicitis. Active observation and clinical support during the disease course may help patients avoid unnecessary procedures and contribute to spontaneous resolution of appendicitis or other pediatric conditions as the cause of abdominal pain. However, further studies are needed to define validated diagnostic and management criteria.
The entrepreneurship discourse: Outlined from diverse constructions of entrepreneurship at the academic scene
Creators: name: Berglund, Karin
name: Johansson, Anders W.
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The interest in entrepreneurship seems to be escalating, emanating from the industry sphere and Schumpeter's thesis on economic development until today's discussions on opportunities (e.g. Shane and Venkataraman, 2000). In general, entrepreneurship is held forward as the model irrespective of what diverse problems that are addressed. In this vein entrepreneurship has disseminated into other spheres such as the public (Edwards, Jones, Lawton and Llewellyn, 2002), the private (du Gay, 1999), and the educational (Eyal and Inbar, 2003). Irrespective of which sphere that is under scrutiny, economic growth and development seem to be an inherent assumption with regards to entrepreneurship and is consequently the dominant reason of studying it (Ahl, 2002; Ogbor, 2000), although there is little known about how new businesses influence economic performance (Wennekers and Thurik, 1999). However, nowadays there are voices proclaiming that entrepreneurship research should bring forward new perspectives of entrepreneurship (Steyaert and Hjorth, 2004; Jennings, Perren och Carter, 2005) and in the academic sphere other rationales are discernible. To mention a few are issues such as environmental concerns stressed (Albrecht, 2002; Pastakia, 1998), as well as social development (Duhl, 2000; Wallace, 1999; Leadbeater, 1997), and equality perspectives (Ahl, 2002; Bruni, Gherardi and Poggio, 2004). Somehow, there seems to be a kind of bewilderment, a mystification---or perhaps a latent conflict---regarding what basic assumptions we should attach to the concept 'entrepreneurship'. Most often change and development are, one way or another, ascribed to entrepreneurship. But there are different standpoints, be it silent, regarding as to whether economic, ecological, social and egalitarian dimensions should be given first priority in developing individuals, companies, regions, nations, or in a global perspective; the entire world.

description: In polarization optics unitary and non-unitary operations can be carried out by the Jones matrix. $\mathbf{Z}$ matrix is the $4\times 4$ analogue of the Jones matrix and the Mueller matrix of a nondepolarizing optical medium can be written as $\mathbf{M}=\mathbf{Z}\mathbf{Z}^*$. Jones matrix acts on the two component complex Jones vector, while the $\mathbf{Z}$ matrix acts on the four component real Stokes vector. Polarizer and retarder $\mathbf{Z}$ matrices can be written in compact forms in terms of the components of the position vector on the Poincaré sphere. In this note it is shown that the Pancharatnam-Berry geometric phase can be demonstrated by unitary and non-unitary $\mathbf{Z}$ matrix operations.

Bakhtinian thought and the defence of narrative: overcoming universalism and relativism
Creators: name: Owen, Hana M.
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: In light of continuing global issues including the prevalence of various levels and forms of inequality and increased environmental destruction, there is a growing recognition of the limitations, epistemological, political, social, cultural, ethical and ecological, of the modes of thought that have dominantly governed and continue to govern our worldview. The modernist project, despite various attempts to give voice to those previously denied, has come under criticism for tendencies to totalise experience and overlook or exclude differences. On the other hand, the postmodernist glorification of difference and tendency to isolate and fragment has generated a kind of debilitating uncertainty in the form of absolute relativism rendering any pursuit of meaning meaningless. Alongside the recognition of these limitations are attempts to overcome the negative affects of these modes of understanding and to create new ways of understanding ourselves, our relationship to others, human and non-human and to the larger world process in which we find ourselves. Despite the supposed opposition between the modern and postmodern projects, the two share in common the tendency to undermine another mode of understanding that by its very nature both precludes and succeeds them. The mode of understanding referred to is narrative understanding which has the potential to pave a middle way between modernity’s totalising exclusions and postmodernity’s fragmenting nihilism, furthermore when the narrative approach is seriously undertaken it becomes clear that the formerly polarised dominant modes of thought are both apart of a wider more heterogenous process. The following article examines and highlights in detail some of the problems surrounding the modern and postmodern modes of thought in order to demonstrate the usefulness of narrative theory in overcoming these problems. In order to augment the defence of narrative theory this article also draws considerably from the work of Mikhail Bakhtin whose philosophy, it will be argued, both compliments and enhances narrative understanding and has considerable potential in generating a more inclusive and creative understanding of humanity, its relationships to others and to the world in which it is inextricably linked.

description: The use of modified Keggin phosphomolybdic heteropolyacids (V and Al) as catalysts in the selective oxidation of sulfides to the corresponding sulfoxides is reported. Excellent yields were obtained (13 examples: 95%–79%), using 35% (w/v) aqueous hydrogen peroxide as oxidant, and acetonitrile as solvent at 25 °C. The relationship between the electron densities of the sulfur atoms, which was estimated by molecular theoretical calculations, and the oxidative relativities of the sulfur-containing compounds was also investigated. The results indicate that the time for 100% conversion decreases with an increase in electron density.

description: A series of novel sulfonylureas and N-acylsulfonamides derivatives were synthesized and characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR and HRMS. These compounds were synthesized efficiently in two steps (carbamoylation-sulfamoylation), using chlorosulfonyl isocyanate (CSI) that was a suitable reagent for allowing the introduction of a sulfonamide moiety. The antibacterial activity (in vitro) of some newly formed compounds were investigated against some Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria by applying the method of dilution and minimal inhibition concentration (MIC) methods. These compounds have significant bacteriostatic activity with totalities of bacterial strains used.

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.

Topology of musical data

Publisher: name: Taylor & Francis
Year: 2014
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: The musical realm is a promising area in which to expect to find nontrivial topological structures. This paper describes several kinds of metrics on musical data, and explores the implications of these metrics in two ways: via techniques of classical topology where the metric space of all-possible musical data can be described explicitly, and via modern data-driven ideas of persistent homology which calculates the Betti-number barcodes of individual musical works. Both analyses are able to recover three well-known topological structures in music: the circularity of octave-reduced musical scales, the circle of fifths, and the rhythmic repetition of timelines. Applications to a variety of musical works (for example, folk music in the form of standard MIDI files) are presented, and the barcodes show many interesting features. Examples show that individual pieces may span the complete space (in which case the classical and the data-driven analyses agree), or they may span only part of the space.
Simple and effective dynamic provisioning for power-proportional data centers

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Energy consumption represents a significant cost in data center operation. A large fraction of the energy, however, is used to power idle servers when the workload is low. Dynamic provisioning techniques aim at saving this portion of the energy, by turning off unnecessary servers. In this paper, we explore how much gain knowing future workload information can bring to dynamic provisioning. In particular, we develop online dynamic provisioning solutions with and without future workload information available. We first reveal an elegant structure of the off-linedynamic provisioning problem, which allows us to characterize the optimal solution in a “divide-and-conquer” manner. We then exploit this insight to design two online algorithms with competitive ratios 2 ? ? and e/ (e ? 1 + ?), respectively, where 0 ? ? ? 1 is the normalized size of a look-ahead window in which future workload information is available. A fundamental observation is that future workload information beyond the fullsize look-ahead window (corresponding to ? = 1) will not improve dynamic provisioning performance. Our algorithms are decentralized and easy to implement. We demonstrate their effectiveness in simulations using real-world traces

description: A new fluorescent derivative (1) containing coumarin exhibits Fe(III)-selective strong yellow-green fluorescence in ethanol. This compound could be used as an “off-on” chemosensor and allow the detection of Fe3+ by monitoring changes in absorption and fluorescence spectra. Upon addition of Fe3+, an overall emission change of 125-fold was observed. High selectivity and sensitivity were observed over other metal ions, mainly due to the spirolactam ring-opening power of Fe3+. The detection limit was as low as 5.6 ppb. Photo-induced electron transfer, coupled with intramolecular charge transfer are proposed to account for the observed spectral response.

description: De novo long read sequencing of the euryachaeon Halococcus dombrowskii reveals agenome with multiple copies of rRNA operons interspersed across both chromosome andplasmids, making it the first known member among genus Halococcus to display thisorganization.

Analysis of the multiple rRNA operon ITS (Internal Transcribed Spacer) sites show drasticsequence divergence between chromosomal rRNA operon ITS and those on plasmids,hinting at different evolutionary pressures at play on vital operons sharing identical geneswith presumed identical functional roles. The sequence-based inferred phylogeny of the H.dombrowskii chromosomal ITS closely tracks the phylogenetic placement of H. dombrowskiiagainst closely-related species. However, the plasmid ITS sequences show more unusualdifferences that are more divergent from the chromosomal ITS sequence.

Few if any other Halococcus spp. have long-read genome resources available. Our resultssuggest that resequencing other members of the Halococcus genus using long-read methodsmight give us additional vital insight into genomic organization of these species, and help usexplore a model for Archaeal chromosome-plasmid evolution in action.

description: A series of homoleptic and heteroleptic complexes: [Cd(fprdtc)2] (1), [Cd(fprdtc)2(1,10-phen)] (2), [Cd(fprdtc)2(2,2′-bipy)] (3), [Cd(bufdtc)2] (4), [Cd(bufdtc)2(1,10-phen)] (5) and [Cd(bufdtc)2(2,2′-bipy)] (6) (where fprdtc = N-furfuryl-N-propyldithiocarbamate; bufdtc = N-butyl-N-furfuryldithiocarbamate) have been prepared and characterized. A single crystal X-ray structural analysis was carried out for 2. Reduction in νC–N (thioureide) for the heteroleptic complexes (2, 3, 5 and 6) compared to that of homoleptic complexes (1 and 4) is attributed to the change in coordination number from four to six and steric effect exerted by 1,10-phenanthroline and 2,2′-bipyridine. The downfield shift of N13CS2 carbon signal for heteroleptic complexes from the chemical shift value of homoleptic complexes is also attributed to the increase in coordination number. Single crystal X-ray structure of 2 indicates that the mononuclear structure of 2 shows symmetric coordination of the dithiocarbamate ligands and a distorted octahedral geometry for cadmium, defined by an N2S4 donor set, results. In this crystal structure, most significant π–π interaction is also observed.
Topology of musical data

description: The musical realm is a promising area in which to expect to find nontrivial topological structures. This paper describes several kinds of metrics on musical data, and explores the implications of these metrics in two ways: via techniques of classical topology where the metric space of all-possible musical data can be described explicitly, and via modern data-driven ideas of persistent homology which calculates the Betti-number barcodes of individual musical works. Both analyses are able to recover three well-known topological structures in music: the circularity of octave-reduced musical scales, the circle of fifths, and the rhythmic repetition of timelines. Applications to a variety of musical works (for example, folk music in the form of standard MIDI files) are presented, and the barcodes show many interesting features. Examples show that individual pieces may span the complete space (in which case the classical and the data-driven analyses agree), or they may span only part of the space.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

Brechtian alienation in videogames
Creators: name: Dunne, Daniel Joseph
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Immersion is constantly being broken in video games via the intrusion of mechanics and features that cause no end of distraction, breaking the player's engagement in both the game's narrative and in the gameplay. Yet these breaks are an integral part of games, whether through loading, saving or any other mechanical system that detracts from the playing the core game. These aren't analysed as thoroughly as they could be in current game academia. However Bertolt Brecht's 'Verfremdungseffekt', or distancing effect, provides a much needed foundation in the analysis of these sections within games that provoke a feeling of alienation.

description: Japan as Brand - The Usage of Cultural Images in Japanese Marketing Strategies In times of globalization and fusing markets, the need for marketing strategists to come up with ever new and enticing ideas to increase the brand value of their products grows. One approach to differentiate exports on a global market is to merge the product images with images of the country they have derived from. This technique, called "country of origin effect" is gaining momentum, and advertisement catchphrases like "German engineering" or "welcome to Marlboro country" are well known. In 2005, threatened by more and more successful Asian competitors in the global market, the Japanese Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry started a campaign called Japanesque Modern, aiming to create an overall brand image for exports based on traditional Japanese culture. This article firstly introduces the main ideas of the Japanesque Modern campaign against the background of the development of Japanese export images from WWII until today. Secondly, it examines discussions of the notion of a traditional Japanese culture in the field of cultural studies. The intention is to give an idea of the risks and chances that this approach contains.

description: As Australia is exposed to severe droughts and floods, seasonal rainfall forecasting is crucial for water resources management, food production and mitigating flood risks. The main focus of this thesis is the development of a non-linear rainfall forecast model for Victoria, Australia using antecedent large-scale climate predictors. The forecast results in this study were superior to that of the official forecast model used in Australia. The study proposes the use of Artificial Intelligence approach as an alternative tool for seasonal rainfall forecasting in Australia as they require minimal inputs, less development time and are less complex compared to dynamic models.

description: Quantum phase interference and spin-parity effects are studied in biaxial molecular magnets in a magnetic field at an arbitrarily directed angle. The calculations of the ground-state tunnel splitting are performed on the basis of the instanton technique in the spin-coherent-state path-integral representation, and complemented by exactly numerical diagonalization. Both the Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin exponent and the pre-exponential factor are obtained for the entire region of the direction of the field. Our results show that the tunnel splitting oscillates with the field for the small field angle, while for the large field angle the oscillation is completely suppressed. This distinct angular dependence, together with the dependence of the tunnel splitting on the field strength, provides an independent test for spin-parity effects in biaxial molecular magnets. The analytical results for the molecular Fe8 magnet are found to be in good agreement with the numerical simulations, which suggests that even the molecular magnet with total spin S=10 is large enough to be treated as a giant spin system.
