description: Background. Tobacco use continues to be the leading global cause of preventable deaths, killing nearly 6 million people worldwide each year. Tobacco control must be given the high priority by scaling up tobacco control measures. In India under Control of Tobacco Product Act, it is mandatory to keep the warn- ing labels over all kind of tobacco products in order to minimise the use of tobacco.
Objectives. Review of the knowledge regarding warning labels printed on tobacco products among its users and to evaluate the impact of them on addicting behaviour.
Methodology. A Cross Sectional study was carried out among the group of people using tobacco in any form. Total 776 tobacco users were enrolled in the study.Results. Mean age of tobacco user was 41.4 years. Out of total 776 tobacco users, 561(72.3 %) had ever noticed warning signals over the tobacco products. Among those who have noticed warn- ing labels, 64.4 % became aware about health effects and 66% have thought to quit tobacco. Tobacco users of young age group (15-45) were more aware regarding warning labels. Females were less aware. As level of education increases number of tobacco users who tried to quit or reduced the daily quantity of tobacco intake were also increases.
Conclusions. Positive impact of warning labels has been seen among the tobacco users who have noticed them. Not all the tobacco users were aware regarding the presence of warning labels as per the findings of present study.

subject: Architectural design

description: RESEARCH BACKGROUND: The essay 'Formation and the Rise of the Nonlinear Paradigm' discusses the role of emerging nonlinear algorithmic design methodologies as demonstrated through Kokkugia's architectural design practice. It was published in 'New Computational Paradigms in Architecture', a book edited by Tom Verebes alongside essays and exemplary projects based on the 2009 exhibition 'Parametric Prototypes: New Computational Paradigms' in Xi'an, China. RESEARCH CONTRIBUTION: In the essay, Snooks explores observed attributes of parametric models in the early stages of generative stages of design, questioning their role when form is reduced to 'that of the object', completely dismissing 'the role of formation - the becoming of objects'. Drawing on Kokkugia's Swarm Matter research, he argues for the potential of emerging nonlinear algorithmic design methodologies through their ability to 'self-organize and generate richness and complexity beyond the immediacy of the response to a given design problem'. This essay demonstrates Snooks' larger research trajectory to develop and articulate a behavioural approach to architectural design that draws from the logic of swarm intelligence and operates through multi-agent algorithms. It situates his practice within a new architectural paradigm that has developed out of complexity theory, computation and emergent phenomena. RESEARCH SIGNIFICANCE: Snooks was invited to contribute an essay alongside other leading practitioners in the field: Mark Burry, Neri Oxman, Patrik Schumacher, Biothing, Zaha Hadid and Foster + Partners, amongst others. The book is a significant work that captures discourses on the design and materialisation of computationally-driven architecture, to articulate and speculate upon new design paradigms for the next generation. It was published by Tsinghua University Press - an integral part of China's prestigious Tsinghua University and one of the country's leading academic and higher education publisher.

description: The aim of the study is to determine awareness about sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and their prevention in people aged 14-19 of Ferrara and province.
The study was carried out using a self-administered standardised anonymous questionnaire in a sample of students attending to three upper secondary schools.
Total number of collected questionnaires was 2695, the average age of interviewed was 17.1. Only 52.3% of respondents correctly recognized STD definition. Over 95% of subjects identified acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), while properly classification of Hepatitis B increased with age and lowest degree of knowledge concerned herpes infection and Candidiasis. Sex without condom (95.97%) and needle exchange in drugs abusers (94.9%) are con- sidered high risk behaviours. 80.3% of interviewed, without distinction of school attendance, sex, and age considered lack of informa- tion as a situation of high risk. Condoms are not used by 46.4% of the subjects in case of sex with a regular partner and by 9.5% with casual partner. Majority of students declared condoms very safe in preventing STDs but an important percentage indicated also contra- ception methods; correct answers were higher among females and increased with age. Main sources of information were TV (21.6%), school (21.1%) and friends (14.8%) and a few sought information from family doctor (7.4%) and web (4.8%).
The study suggests, as priority, to improve teenagers? awareness about risk behaviours and prevention of STDs. School can play an important role in reinforcement of sexual education programmes and directing young people to general practitioners and primary sexual health care services.

description: Industrieunternehmen agieren in Produktionsnetzwerken und sehen sich mit hohen Anforderungen an die Leistungsfähigkeit der Netzwerke konfrontiert. Gleichzeitig ist ihr Netzwerkmanagement von Silodenken und Isolation geprägt. In der operativen Planung wirken Auftragsänderungen, Qualitätsprobleme und technische Änderungen negativ auf die Leistungsfähigkeit. Die Digitalisierung ermöglicht einen intensiveren Informationsaustausch in Produktionsnetzwerken. Unternehmen erwarten, dass eine erhöhte Informationstransparenz zu einer schnelleren Identifizierung und kürzeren Reaktionszeit auf Störungen führt. Risiken wie ein ungünstiges Kosten-Nutzen-Verhältnis verhindern jedoch eine Transparenzsteigerung. Diese Dissertation entwickelt einen Lösungsansatz zur Transparenzsteigerung in Produktionsnetzwerken. Zunächst werden ein Kennzahlensystem und ein Rezeptormodell zur Bewertung von Störungen entwickelt. Geschäftsprozess- und Informationsreifegradmodelle charakterisieren den Informationsaustausch. Es folgt die Ermittlung von Wirkzusammenhängen zwischen dem Auftreten von Störungen, dem Informationsaustausch und der Leistungsfähigkeit mithilfe eines Multimethoden-Simulationsmodells. Um die Modellanalyse zu erleichtern, werden mathematische Ersatzmodelle (Metamodelle) an das Verhalten der Simulation angepasst. Nach der Definition eines Zielzustands für den Informationsaustausch mittels robuster Optimierung werden Digitalisierungsmaßnahmen verglichen und eine Empfehlung zur Transparenzsteigerung gegeben. Der Lösungsansatz wird auf einen Anwendungsfall zur Herstellung von Kunststoff-Metall-Bauteilen für die Automobilzulieferindustrie angewendet. Er verbessert die Leistungsfähigkeit durch verstärkten Informationsaustausch und trägt zur Umsetzung von Digitalisierungsmaßnahmen bei.

description: Introduction. The quality of milk is influenced by different bac- teria present in milk. This study was undertaken to investigate the bacterial contamination of raw and pasteurized milk in Sari Township, Iran, 2011.
Methods. In this investigation, 100 pasteurized milk samples were collected randomly from the super markets in the city and 100 raw milk samples from 4 dairy farms from suburb areas and evaluated for the presence of coliforms, Escherichia coli, Staphy- lococcus aureus and Listeria monocytogenes by culture methods and biochemical tests. Data analysis was performed by SPSS soft- ware using X2 test and described in percentage. Results. In the raw milk, contamination with E. coli, coliforms and Staphylococcus aureus was observed in 42 (42%), 36 (36%) and 22 (22%) of samples respectively, and the same for the pas- teurized milk samples was 9 (9%), 2 (2%) and 2 (2%), respec- tively. Listeria monocytogenes was not detected in any sample. Presence of E. coli in the milk could be due to contamination with waste water and fecal materials.
Conclusions. Considering the contamination of raw and pas- teurized milk with E. coli and coliforms, sanitary practice during collecting and transporting, particularly in the summer season is recommended.

description: Introduction. Chronically ill patients have to take several medi- cations and non-adherence to treatment can lead to severe and negative outcomes. Therefore, several interventions are sug- gested in literature to improve adherence rates in clinical prac- tice. Adherence to treatment can be particularly troublesome in adolescents, who strive for autonomy and self-care independence. Literature suggests that improving adherence is useful to guaran- tee positive outcomes and reduce costs.
Aim. To explore how nurses perceived autonomy in parents, adolescents, and children related to the management of chronic disease.
Materials and methods. A qualitative study including 1 focus group and 7 semi-structured interviews conducted between September 2011 and October 2011. The qualitative date were ana- lysed with the thematic analysis method. The sample included 12 paediatric nurses working in a Children?s Cystic Fibrosis Unit and Neuromuscular Disease Unit.
Results. The 5 main categories that emerged from this qualita- tive study after he process of categorization were: ?Changes in daily lifestyle?, ?Nurses? attitude towards educating the dyad?, ?Adolescence and transition?, ?Parents? attitudes towards chronic disease?, and ?Availability of information?.
Discussion. Correct information and education is crucial for fam- ilies who have a chronically ill child. Internet can be a mislead- ing source of information and provide wrong information also in relation to prevention.

The Carpenter and the Draughtsman: an Embedded Report on the Architecture of Juliaan Lampens
Creators: name: Van Den Berghe, Johan
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: His father a carpenter, Juliaan as his father's son a draughtsman first and foremost. Craftsmanship is the common denominator of the father and the son, and the prophecy of the works to come. This is the solid basis from which Juliaan Lampens¿ work emerges, and to which it always returns. Architectural history tends to categorise Lampens¿ work too readily as Modernism / subcategory Brutalism. And he seems to confirm this himself, when he openly relates his work to Mies and Le Corbusier, and explains it as a synthesis of both. ?But for a more precise definition of his place in architectural history, I would like to add two more fundamental aspects: the complexity of Lampens as a person, and his roots, which extend beyond Modernism.

description: RESEARCH BACKGROUND: This article gives an overview of field-based research work undertaken to explore and model the shifting conditions of the riverbank, water and plastic debris of the Kali Ciliwung river in Kampung Melayu, Jakarta. The project and its significance is introduced, followed by a series of research process images accompanied by detailed annotations. The work appeared in the 'water landscapes' themed issue of the Journal of Landscape Architecture - JOLA, (Vol 8, Issue 2, 2013). RESEARCH SIGNIFICANCE: The Kali Ciliwung project is an intensive study of site conditions in that are at play within the delta plain area of Jakarta, an urban agglomeration in which around 28 million people reside. Against the background of prevalent ecology and sustainability debates, this mapping project affords deep insights into the conditions of the region, work that is highly relevant to understanding the ways in which millions of people in the megacities of Asian river deltas live. This article contributes to Rekittke's ongoing research exploring landscape within mega-urban contexts and geodesign and experimentation with digital tools for landscape visualization and modelling. This work also evidences Ninsalam's ongoing research foregrounding how landscape architects may deploy ubiquitous terrestrial and aerial sensing methods to produce precise local observations of human-environment conflicts that result from rapid urban transitions. RESEARCH CONTRIBUTION: JOLA is a respected, internationally oriented journal that aims to support, stimulate and extend scholarly debate in Landscape Architecture and related fields. All submissions undergo rigorous editorial, and double blind peer review.

description: RESEARCH BACKGROUND: 'Appending' was a one-day performance as part of the 'Pop up Gesture Store' series held at unique artist-run initiative the 1067 PacficPeople gallery​. U​pon invitation by NY-based artists Andrea Haenggi, Robert Neuwirth and Carrie Ahern, the performance by Mick Douglas and Julieanne Preston involved offering instantaneous live performances in exchange for other immaterial gestures. RESEARCH CONTRIBUTION: Th​e work responds to the Pop Up Gesture Store's intent to explore new transactional logics and ​create a space in which strangers​' encounters unravel preconceptions of physical presence, connection, labor, idleness, and power relationships through the 'dancing body' and its gesture economy. Customers entered the 'pop up store' not to consume goods or purchase products but rather to partake of embodied experiences direct from the artists​ (sellers)​. ​Through the work 'Appending​,​' ​Douglas and Preston offered embodied gestural exchange encounters as traders in alternative economies of care and supplement. This work is part of the broader collaborative project 'The Idleness Labourity' which explores an aesthetic ethos of co-creative experience, proposed through performative ways of questioning, exploring and attributing value in contemporary creative arts practices. It contributes to Douglas' ongoing creative practice-based research in socially-engaged public art, performance and mobility and inter-cultural, artistic practice. RESEARCH SIGNIFICANCE: 'Appending' resulted from an invited artist residency supported by Syracuse University (New York), and involved working alongside esteemed dance artist Andrea Haenggi and high profile writer and regular TED Talker Robert Neuwirth.,

description: Out-of-field teaching is viewed as inferior to subject-specific instruction, but its impact on student outcomes varies depending on the criteria used for evaluation. The present study investigated the consequences of out-of-field teaching in science on different student outcomes on an international scale. Analyses were based on the sixth cycle of PISA data, using a subsample of N = 128,438 students (51% girls) and N = 27,819 teachers (44% women) from 4,037 schools in 18 countries. Results show that higher specialised science teachers rates in schools were linked to improved scientific literacy and students enjoyment. Science teachers with specialised science training in a school were associated with higher science competencies in students, while the impact on the enjoyment of science was smaller. However, the share of specialised teachers was not associated with students’ self-efficacy or perceived teaching practices. The findings suggest that specialised teachers are critical in positively influencing students’ literacy and enjoyment. Moreover, it informs policymakers and school administrators about the need to prioritise hiring specialised science teachers to improve the overall quality of science education. Further research is needed to understand how specialised teachers affect student outcomes and to identify other factors impacting science literacy.

title: Diminished responsibility and the Scottish criminal law tradition
Creators: name: Buchan, Daniel
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2022

description: This thesis examines the history and development of diminished responsibility in Scots criminal law and asks what the doctrine’s evolution within the practice of the High Court might reveal about the Scottish criminal law tradition more broadly. For important historical and political reasons, the concept of “tradition” has long been central to the way in which Scots law and the Scottish legal system is described. This tradition, however, has habitually been framed in idealised, nationalistic and ultimately misleading terms. The criminal law, commonly regarded as an especially “Scottish” part of the legal system, sits in the foreground of this picture. The present thesis aims to engage with the Scottish criminal law tradition in a more rational, dispassionate and verifiable sense, by focusing more narrowly on the character of the legal rules themselves. To this end, it adopts the doctrine of diminished responsibility – long heralded as a distinctly Scottish creation – as a case study. The thesis begins by locating the position occupied by diminished responsibility within the broader landscape of Scots criminal law, before introducing the concept of “the Scottish legal tradition” and outlining one popular account of its character. Attention then turns to the nature of the criminal law. The foundational Scottish literature is examined, and four key themes extracted: the significance of the High Court’s power to declare conduct newly criminal; the emphasis placed on practicality; the purported humanity of the Scottish criminal justice system; and the posited link between criminal law and community values. Each of these themes, it is suggested, provides us with a clue as to the nature of the law itself. Four possible characteristics are deduced: flexibility; pragmatism; leniency; and non-technicality. Finally, the development of diminished responsibility in the Scottish courts is analysed, and the applicability of these four characteristics assessed. It is concluded that the doctrine’s development tells us much about the nature of the broader Scottish tradition.

En este orden de ideas, se seleccionaron tres programas académicos de la Universidad Simón Bolívar para la realización de pruebas piloto para la evaluación. La elección de estos programas se basó en su comportamiento de la deserción estudiantil en los últimos cinco años. En cuanto al análisis, se diseñaron cuestionarios dirigidos a estudiantes, al Coordinador Institucional del PIEA y a los Coordinadores PIEA de cada programa seleccionado. Además, se recopiló información documental del programa y se accedió a bases de datos que permitieron la triangulación de la información, lo que, a su vez, facilitó la emisión de juicios valorativos sobre el programa. Con esto, los hallazgos pueden ser utilizados para respaldar la toma de decisiones en la universidad y como base para futuras investigaciones relacionadas con el programa y temas adicionales fuera del alcance de esta evaluación.
description: This study presents the results of the evaluation carried out within the framework of the Programa Institucional de Excelencia Académica (PIEA), a strategy implemented by the Simón Bolívar University for student retention. In this order of ideas, three academic programs from the Simón Bolívar University were selected to carry out pilot tests for evaluation. The choice of these programs was based on their student dropout behavior over the last five years. Regarding the analysis, questionnaires were designed aimed at students, the PIEA Institutional Coordinator and the PIEA Coordinators of each selected program. In addition, documentary information about the program was collected and databases were accessed that allowed the triangulation of information, which, in turn, facilitated the issuance of evaluative judgments about the program. With this, the findings can be used to support decision making at the university and as a basis for future research related to the program and additional topics outside the scope of this evaluation.

description: Para el pensamiento métrico y los sistemas de medida, la comprensión del concepto de magnitudes y su empleo en la resolución de problemas son competencias indispensables dentro del proceso de enseñanza aprendizaje de las matemáticas, sin embargo, presentan un bajo nivel de apropiación y manejo por parte de los estudiantes. Por esta razón, se plantea el diseño e implementación de una secuencia didáctica estructurada desde el Modelo Del Olmo, basada en la resolución de problemas y el empleo de material didáctico en la comprensión del concepto de perímetro y área; la investigación se aplicó a los estudiantes de grado cuarto del Colegio Hernando Durán Dussán. Se empleó la metodología de investigación-acción de carácter cualitativo y participativo, que comprende a los estudiantes no solo como sujetos de estudio, sino como actores activos del proceso de aprendizaje; aspecto que hizo evidente el rol de los estudiantes en la toma de decisiones y acciones. La intervención generó cambios reales y significativos en la comprensión de los conceptos de perímetro y área, pues los estudiantes desarrollaron un alto porcentaje en las competencias de percepción, comparación, medición y estimación; el empleo de material didáctico y su aplicación en la resolución de problemas, permitió que diferentes perspectivas y conocimientos se combinaran para generar aprendizajes significativos y eficaces.
description: From metric thinking and measurement systems, the understanding of the concept of magnitudes and its use in problem-solving are key skills within the mathematics teaching-learning process, however, it presents a low level of appropriation and management in students. For this reason, the design and implementation of a didactic sequence structured from the Del Olmo Model is proposed; based on problem-solving and the use of teaching material in the understanding of the concept of perimeter and area in fourth grade students of the Hernando Durán Dussán School. The action research methodology, under a qualitative and participatory approach was implemented, this understands students not only as subjects of the study, but as an active part in the learning process; this was shown in the role of the students through decision making process. The intervention generated real and significant changes in the understanding of the concepts of perimeter and area by developing a high percentage of perception, comparison, measurement and estimation skills; through the use of teaching material and its application in problem solving, in which different perspectives and knowledge were combined to generate significant and effective learning.

description: El trabajo de grado se desarrolló como proyecto de aula que surgió de las necesidades y dificultades de los estudiantes, del curso 703 del colegio José Jaime Rojas I.E.D, identificadas en el diagnóstico. Dichas dificultades se presentaron en mayor porcentaje en la habilidad de escritura. De allí, que la intervención pedagógica implementada tuviera el objetivo de promover la producción escrita de los estudiantes por medio de la elaboración de una guía turística del barrio donde queda ubicado el colegio. En este orden de ideas, a los estudiantes les fueron suministradas las herramientas teóricas y metodológicas para llevar a cabo el proceso de escritura (planificación, textualización, revisión y edición), teniendo como insumo la información proporcionada por las personas destacadas del barrio en las entrevistas realizadas en el aula. Siendo así, se logró llevar a cabo un trabajo significativo entre comunidad y escuela el cual permitió que los educandos escribieran textos con propósitos comunicativos claros desde su contexto para ser plasmados en la guía turística y socializados a la comunidad educativa, evidenciando mejoras importantes en la habilidad escritora de los estudiantes y en la apropiación del patrimonio cultural y territorial del barrio.
description: This thesis was developed as a classroom project that arose from the needs and difficulties of the students, from course 703 of José Jaime Rojas I.E.D school, identified in the diagnostic assessment. These difficulties occurred in a higher percentage in writing skills. Hence, the pedagogical intervention implemented had the objective of promoting the written production of the students through the development of a tourist guide of the neighborhood where the school is located. Following the order of these ideas, students were provided with the theoretical and methodological tools to carry out the writing process (planning, textualization, review and editing), taking as input the information provided by prominent people from the neighborhood in the interviews carried out in the classroom. Thus, significant work was carried out between the community and the school which allowed students to write texts with clear communicative purposes from their context to be reflected in the tourist guide. This work evidenced important improvements in students’ writing skill and in the appropriation of the cultural and territorial heritage of the neighborhood.

Das Projekt nähert sich also aus zwei Richtungen der Identifikation von Geruchsstoffen: zum einen statistisch ausgehend von VOC-Datenbanken, zum anderen einzelfallbezogen ausgehend von Fallbeispielen.

description: Este trabajo de grado presenta el desarrollo de una propuesta de profundización en lenguaje que mediante una secuencia didáctica, tuvo como propósito mejorar la comprensión lectora desde un enfoque sociocultural a nivel crítico a partir de la lectura de textos multimodales divulgados por la Comisión de la verdad en el marco de la Jurisdicción para la paz. En este sentido, fue relevante el desarrollo de habilidades de pensamiento y aplicación de estrategias de comprensión que le permita adquirir la competencia lectora para la interpretación de varios géneros discursivos presentes en la vida académica y social del estudiante. Es así que la lectura de este tipo de textos aporta para que el alumno desarrolle habilidades necesarias en el contexto actual frente a las nuevas formas de leer y escribir con la inmersión de las TIC en el ámbito académico. De esta forma se implementaron estrategias y actividades que sumado a una diversificación de recursos generó la posibilidad de fortalecer la comprensión inferencial y crítico, contribuyendo a disminuir las debilidades diagnosticadas en el proceso de comprender lo que quiere trasmitir un autor, a la vez que la redacción de un discurso escrito de corte reflexivo, ayudo al mejoramiento de la habilidad escritora.
description: Thus, reading this type of text helps the student develop necessary skills in the current context in the face of new ways of reading and writing with the immersion of ICT in the academic field. In this way, strategies and activities were implemented that, added to a diversification of resources, generated the possibility of strengthening inferential and critical understanding, contributing to reducing the weaknesses diagnosed in the process of understanding what an author wants to convey, at the same time as the writing. of a reflective written speech, I help improve writing skills

description: Research background The script reflects the author's research on 'writing the city', previously the focus of three journal articles, a book chapter and two conference presentations. It puts creative practice to the claim that the screenplay "constructs a specific universe for specific characters suited to bringing out distinctive storyline elements and thematic threads" (Selbo 2010). The work draws from scholarship relating to the screen city, such as how film and digital moving image media can play "a role in shaping the image of our cities in our collective imagination" (Koeck and Penz 2003). The script is a creative expression of these ideas, and a response to a specific brief from Melbourne Knowledge Week, a festival that aims to play a key role in shaping the city of the future. Research contribution The script is situated within the narrow scholarship around screen cities, as well as cinema studies more broadly. It adds the screenplay's viewpoint to scholarly claims that "From its beginnings, film has been linked with the metropolis, and the motion-picture medium has featured the cityscape frequently and prominently" (Weihsmann 1997). In doing so, it contributes to screenwriting research that does not yet, in the same way as cinema studies, "draw attention upon worlds as they are created in films" (Walters 2008). Moreover, the script is a creative rebuttal to the claim that "films are rarely a vehicle for the initial artistic 'rediscovery' of a place" (Keiller 2003). Research significance This original work is unique in offering a multi-layered, scholarly approach to the screen city. It is significant in its testing of themes, contents and ideas about Melbourne's future and the smart city narrative, as well as demystifying the festival's ideas through highly consumable and accessible content. The script, distributed online, attracted significant audience engagement while disseminating one of the key messages of the festival: prototyping the future of the city.

description: Human life requires materials. Currently, the amount of used materials increases with the level of wealth. However, to mitigate climate change, the fossil-based economies have to change towards a post-fossil, circular, sustainable economy. This chapter analyses different strategies to decline resource consumption in the scenarios GreenEe, GreenLate, GreenMe, GreenLife and GreenSupreme. It presents the resulting primary and secondary resource consumption (RMC) and the demand of selected metals during the transformation process and in 2050. The chapter demonstrates that recycling, substitution and increasing efficiency are valuable measures to minimise material consumption. The consequence of the low ambitious level in GreenLate is a low decrease in material and metal consumption and a low degree of circularity of the economy. In contrast, ambitious technological changes as shown in GreenMe and particularly combined with lifestyle changes in GreenSupreme make it possible to achieve a strong decline of primary material demand. The resulting value of 5.7 tons per person (RMC) in GreenSupreme are clearly below the global average of 11.98 tons (in 2015) and in line with material consumption targets as discussed, for example, by Stefan Bringezu. A degree of 30% circularity in the physical economy and more is feasible with existing technologies. Quelle: www.taylorfrancis.com

description: BACKGROUND The Student is a crime novel set in Gatton (Queensland) during the mid-1990s. Like my previous work, this novel brings together themes from cultural and literary studies. My primary aim with The Student is to explore the relatively unpaved field of Australian noir. As such this book is a much more formally noir story - in terms of scope, structure and trope - than my debut Four Days. From a craft standpoint, the book is a marked progression and further demonstrates my commitment to the prose-minimalism of hardboiled crime writers such as James Ellroy, David Peace and Ken Bruen. CONTRIBUTION The underlying theme of the novel is drawn from my ongoing research interest into the cultural Marxism of Louis Althusser. In Essays On Ideology, Althusser (1984) famously described ideology as 'the reproduction of the means of reproduction'. Althusser positions the education system as a primary apparatus of domination - what he calls an ISO, an Ideological State Apparatus. An ISO essentially teaches a type of working class submission. The Student aims to marry this bleak view of the education system to the downtrodden tone of noir. In The Student, it is not the hostilities of small-town Australia that traps the protagonist (unlike say, Jane Harper's The Dry or Kenneth Cook's Wake In Fright) but the concrete restrictions of class. SIGNIFICANCE The Student saw publication via Echo / Bonnier Publishing Australia. The paperback was released with cover blurbs from Edgar Award-winning novelist Adrian McKinty and the Perth literary academic David Whish-Wilson. Echo is a commercial trade publisher and the book was widely promoted and stocked. The Courier Mail gave over a whole page of coverage to the book and favourable reviews ran The Sydney Morning Herald, The Herald Sun, The Saturday Paper and various local papers. Media interviews for the book include PBS, RRR, 3CR and ABC Local. Kill Your Darlings literary journal and The AU Review published excerpts.
Innate Motivation for Robot Swarms by Minimizing Surprise: From Simple Simulations to Real-World Experiments (plots, data and video)

description: Applications of large-scale mobile multi-robot systems can be beneficial over monolithic robots because of higher potential for robustness and scalability. Developing controllers for multi-robot systems is challenging because the multitude of interactions is hard to anticipate and difficult to model. Automatic design using machine learning or evolutionary robotics seem to be options to avoid that challenge, but bring the challenge of designing reward or fitness functions. Generic reward and fitness functions seem unlikely to exist and task-specific rewards often have undesired side effects. Approaches of so-called innate motivation try to avoid the specific formulation of rewards and work instead with different drivers, such as curiosity. Our approach to innate motivation is to minimize surprise, which we implement by maximizing the accuracy of the swarm robot's sensor predictions using neuroevolution. A unique advantage of the swarm robot case is that swarm members populate the robot's environment and can trigger more active behaviors in a self-referential loop. We summarize our previous simulation-based results concerning behavioral diversity, robustness, scalability, and engineered self-organization, and put them into context. In several new studies, we analyze the influence of the optimizer's hyperparameters, the scalability of evolved behaviors, and the impact of realistic robot simulations. Finally, we present results using real robots that show how the reality gap can be bridged.
