title: Disability and employment in China: Lived experiences and approaches from perspectives of young people with learning and developmental disabilities, parents, and job coaches
titleType: Other
Creators: name: Lin, Dong
Publisher: name: University of Dundee

description: This thesis has opened a dialogue towards understanding how disability is constructed, perceived and experienced in a specific Chinese context. It contributes to raising awareness of disability and providing practical suggestions for creating a m ore inclusive working environment and society. This PhD adopted a case study design to investigate the following research question: What are the perceptions of disability and attitudes towards employment and supported employment of young people with learning and developmental disabilities, their parents, and job coaches in supported employment in Guangzhou, China?

There are two dimensions to the construction of this work. First, adopting Studies in Ableism (SiA) as a theoretical orientation focused on ableist thinking and practice systems that formulate a notion of able-bodiedness and able-mindedness in a specific context and with different populations, including disabled people. Second, SiA provided a lens to explore and discuss the notion of peopleship and the ideal of the people, and its construction of disability in China’s political, economic and cultural context. Understanding how disability is constructed at the national level provided a foundation for this study to explore how disability is perceive d and experienced at the individual level.

The participants (n=32) included young people with learning and developmental disabilities (n=13), their parents (n=13) who had various experiences of supported employment, and job coaches (n=6) working in supported employment. Key findings and discussions from the data analysis highlight the variation in how disability is perceived, experienced, and approached, and this is understood through the following three findings: 1) young people have different ways of perceiving disability: internalising and adapting to ableism, and having a counter ableist understanding of disability; 2) parents use the family as a protective shelter in young people’s lives and work: having different ways of dealing with young people’s employment, which is affected by their face concern; 3) grassroots disabled people’s organisations play an important role in challenging the construction and practice of disability at the national level: at the risk of conducting ableist thinking and practices in the context of China.

As perceptions and experiences of disability are always conflicting, more studies using different theoretical perspectives and methodologies in exploring disability in various contexts of China would further contribute to understanding disability in China.

description: In recent years, three-dimensional topological insulators (3DTI) as a novel state of quantum matter have become a hot topic in the fields of condensed matter physics and materials sciences. To fulfill many spectacularly novel quantum phenomena predicted in 3DTI, real host materials are of crucial importance. In this review paper, we first introduce general methods of searching for new 3DTI based on the density-functional theory. Then, we review the recent progress on materials realization of 3DTI including simple elements, binary compounds, ternary compounds, and quaternary compounds. In these potential host materials, some of them have already been confirmed by experiments while the others are not yet. The 3DTI discussed here does not contain the materials with strong electron-electron correlation. Lastly, we give a brief summary and some outlooks in further studies.

description: The extended Bose-Hubbard model subjected to a disordered potential is predicted to display a rich phase diagram. In the case of uniform random disorder one finds two insulating quantum phases -- the Mott-insulator and the Haldane insulator -- in addition to a superfluid and a Bose glass phase. In the case of a quasiperiodic potential further phases are found, eg the incommensurate density wave, adiabatically connected to the Haldane insulator. For the case of weak random disorder we determine the phase boundaries using a perturbative bosonization approach. We then calculate the entanglement spectrum for both types of disorder, showing that it provides a good indication of the various phases.

description: Eight years of optical photometry from OGLE-III are presented of the optical counterpart to the High Mass X-ray Binary system, SMC X-1. The optical data provide the best view to date of the modulation of the light from the system at the binary period of 3.9d. In addition, it is shown for the first time that the light is also modulated at the superorbital period - a period associated with the precessing of a warped accretion disk around the neutron star partner. The implications for the sources of the various components of the optical light in this system are discussed.

description: We are investigating the co-evolution of galaxies within groups combining multi-wavelength photometric and 2D kinematical observations. Here we focus on S0s showing star formation in ring/arm-like structures. We use smooth particle hydrodynamical simulations (SPH) with chemo-photometric implementation which provide dynamical and morphological information together with the spectral energy distribution (SED) at each evolutionary stage. As test cases, we simulate the evolution of two such S0s: NGC 1533 and NGC 3626. The merging of two halos with mass ratio 2:1, initially just composed of dark matter (DM) and gas, well match their observed SEDs, their surface brightness profiles and their overall kinematics. The residual star formation today "rejuvenating" the ring/arm like structures in these S0s is then a mere consequence of a major merger, i.e. this is a phase during the merger episode. The peculiar kinematical features, e.g. gas-stars counter rotation in NGC 3626, depends on the halos initial impact parameters. Furthermore, our simulations allow to follow, in a fully consistent way, the transition of these S0s through the green valley in the NUV-r vs. Mr colour magnitude diagram, which they cross in about 3-5 Gyr, before reaching their current position in the red sequence. We conclude that a viable mechanism driving the evolution of S0s in groups is of gravitational origin.

description: Since 1993, the ASEP database has been in operation in the Czech Academy of Sciences (CAS), where CAS institutes store records of their publication activities. (From ASEP, records are sent to the national CRIS system), ASEP allows linking publication outputs with the data on which they were based and the projects from which they were funded. The database is operated (developement and administration) by the Library of Czech Academy of Sciences, who also provide training and workshops for researchers.

 In 2012, the Repository of Full Texts was created within this database - a sharp increase in usage since 2014 - as the evaluation of science within the CAS began to require full texts. The data repository was established in 2018. Due to new grant conditions and following the implementation of the EU Directive on open data and the re-use of public sector information, we expect an early increase in the number of datasets stored from 2023.

 Publication and datasets by authors from the Czech Academy of Sciences can be added to database. Authorised persons at institutes of the CAS (ASEP administrators) are responsible for adding records to ASEP.

 The bottom-up process is slow and concerns mainly certain scientific fields, which implement it often through disciplinary data repositories, but it is often more the activity of few "progressive" institutions or even individual scientists. Only changes in requirements at a systemic level leads to a comprehensive transformation of the scientific environment. A timely response to the needs defined by the bottom-up allows subsequent readiness for the changes in the "external" environment. ASEP is therefore ready for the mandatory practices of open science, defined by new policy, by responding to earlier, relatively sporadic, requirements of researchers.

We develop and analyze stochastic gradient (SG) and recursive least squares (RLS)-type adaptive algorithms, which achieve an enhanced convergence and tracking performance with low computational cost as compared to existing techniques. Simulations show that the proposed algorithms have a superior performance to prior methods, while the complexity is lower.

description: The greater confinement of light that is possible in photonic crystal fibres leads to a greater effective nonlin- earity, which promises to yield greater quantum squeezing than is possible in standard optical fibre. However, experimental work to date has not achieved improvements over standard fibre. We present a comprehensive numerical investigation of polarisation squeezing in photonic crystal fibre in a Sagnac configuration. By including loss, a non-instantaneous Raman response, excess phase-noise, second- and third-order dispersion and self-steepening, the simulations are able to identify the physical factors that limit current photonic crystal fibre squeezing experiments.

On Cosmological Perturbations of Quasidilaton

description: A theory of the quasidilaton is an extension of massive gravity by a scalar field, nonlinearly realizing a certain new global symmetry of the Lagrangian. It has been shown that unlike pure massive gravity, this theory does admit homogeneous and isotropic spatially flat solutions. Among the latter, selfaccelerated solutions attract a special attention. Previous studies of perturbations, performed in the decoupling limit, revealed one healthy scalar mode, while the second relevant scalar was not captured in that limit. Here we study full cosmological perturbations above the simplest selfaccelerated background. We show that the fluctuations of a mixed state of the quasidilaton and the helicity-0 graviton necessarily have a negative kinetic term at short distances, making this background unphysical. In addition, these cosmologies exhibit an order one sensitivity to higher dimensional terms suppressed by an energy scale that is parametrically higher than the strong coupling scale of the quasidilaton effective theory: such terms include Galileons, Goldstone-like selfinteractions and derivatives of the quasidilaton coupled to curvature, none of which introduce extra Ostrogradsky states. As one consequence, cosmology at the Hubble distances for this particular class of solutions depends on an unknown extension of the quasidilaton below its strong coupling distance scale. We note that non-FRW solutions that are similar to those of pure massive gravity should not necessarily suffer from these pathologies.

description: We investigate the recent - low redshift - expansion history of the universe using the most recent observational data. Using only data from 42 measurements of $f_{gas}$ in clusters, we found that cosmic acceleration could have already peaked and we are witnessing now its slowing down. This effect, found previously by Shafieloo, Sahni and Starobinsky in 2010 using supernova data (at that time the Constitution SNIa sample) appears again using an independent observational probe. We also discuss the result using the most recent Union 2.1 data set.

Children Have Big Stories: An Ethnographic Multi-Sited Study of Contemporary Ngaanyatjarra and Pintupi Early Years Practices.
Creators: name: Holmes, Catherine
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2023

description: This thesis explores children's practices in three remote Australian First Nations communities in the desert region of Western Australia. Based on ethnographic research with 30 Ngaanyatjarra and Pintupi children aged 0-6 years old and their caregivers, contemporary childhood is examined across a variety of contexts. The overall purpose of this study is to contribute to the understanding of children's practices in this environment. Contemporary child-related policy discourses in this context overemphasise deficit and mainstreaming. Anthropological accounts rarely focus on children's lives prior to school or child-and-family practices. Mediascapes perpetuate stereotypes with representations of 'traditional' practices that exotify and fail to engage with the complexity of contemporary young children's lives. There is a current paucity of serious engagement with the early years of Ngaanyatjarra and Pintupi children's lives prior to schooling. To address these concerns, the following questions are investigated: what are the key practices in Ngaanyatjarra or Pintupi children's daily lives; what does it mean to be a Ngaanyatjarra or Pintupi child today; and what are the implications for early childhood education in First Nations communities? Methodologically, the fieldwork was approached using Constructivist Grounded Theory and, to conceptualise the data, complemented with Practice Theory. These two frames allowed the study to explore how 'mainstream' child-related practices have been inserted into or discarded in everyday life. Data were drawn from participant observations, interviews, and visual materials. The findings highlight that desert children are navigating a world with multiple intersecting layers of complexity. Yet, despite myriad external forces, societal sociocultural values remain central to their practices. What is revealed in this investigation is a nuanced understanding of contemporary childhoods in remote regions, to guide the transition from home to school. The thesis provides potential insights to inform early childhood educators and caregivers of the need to be more aware of the context of children's everyday lives and the relevance of current service models for children living in remote First Nations communities by signalling the priorities and worldviews of Ngaanyatjarra and Pintupi communities.
New Dream, Old Lore: Resilience and cultural resurgence through Lorraine Mafi-Williams, Nunarng Cultural Sanctuary and the Ngaraakwal people of northern New South Wales
Creators: name: Aigner, Katherine
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2023

description: In recent years Aboriginal activists in Australia have gained a high profile, yet the life and work of prolific, accomplished and well-known cultural custodian Lorraine Mafi-Williams (1940-2001) who came from lineages of lore-makers, is under-represented. Involved in debates at local, state, national and international levels, Mafi-Williams made controversial and, I argue, foundational contributions to the political/cultural milieu of Australia during her lifetime. Her actions, Law and cultural values in maintaining cultural heritage brought her into conflict with developing Australian legal regimes of the time. The thesis examines the major challenges and victories she experienced in her life in the transmission of cultural knowledge. It explores the central role of custodians in connecting Western and Indigenous knowledge systems for future survival and adaptation. Mafi-Williams' life and family connections are analysed, intersecting historical, political and cultural scholarship. Issues around connection to land are examined, including the role of the individual in cultural transmission and resurgence. Concepts such as custodianship, sovereignty, Indigenous knowledge systems and their reproduction are explored, as are legal issues of ownership and the role and impact of agents of the nation state in regard to the affirmation of rights of association to the land and the politics of recognition. In her final years, in 1997, Mafi-Williams established Nunarng Cultural Sanctuary on her ancestral land, so that, she said, 'the teachings will live'. As part of her 'living story', her bush camp was a site of cultural resurgence, yet its existence and success did not prevent the dispossession of the Sanctuary's traditional custodians that occurred through a new Australian legal process. A study of her life provides the evidence of how and why this occurred, during the development of the first out-of-court ILUA for NSW (Indigenous Land Use Agreement), which divided the community, but became a precedent for other areas. After surviving colonial disruption, massacres and assimilation, Mafi-Williams' ancestors and the Ngaraakwal people to whom she was related were finally maligned by an Australian legal process believed to be emancipatory, and a political party thought, by many, to be sympathetic. The concluding chapters consider why her advocacy finally became embroiled in a struggle of 'Black/Green' power over Public Reserve land, and investigates the influence Indigenous custodians may have in a changing legal environment. They address an under-researched topic: the effects on Indigenous Australian custodians who are dispossessed or de-legitimised through this western legal process.
No One Wants To Be On The Losing Side: The Formation of Singapore's Defence Policy During the Cold War, 1965-1989
Creators: name: Yaacob, Abdul
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2023

description: Although much has been written on Singapore's defence policy, there is little historical research on the subject, especially from the post-1971 period until the end of the Cold War in 1989. As a result, the idea that Malaysia and Indonesia were Singapore's principal security concerns since independence forms the conventional narrative of Singapore's defence policy. However, complex interactions between global and regional affairs during the Cold War impacted Singapore's threat perceptions and security concerns. During the 1970s and 1980s, Singapore's threat perceptions were shaped by regional events such as Vietnam's unification under the communists and the Sino-Soviet rivalry for global influence in the communist world. As a result, Singapore's defence strategy had to evolve to accommodate the changes in its strategic environment. This dissertation presents the history of Singapore's defence policy from when it gained independence in 1965 to the end of the Cold War in 1989 by examining Singapore's threat perceptions and security concerns throughout the period. It investigates the island-state's three broad strategies to deal with its security concerns: defence relations with major western powers, diplomacy and developing indigenous military capabilities. The principal argument of this dissertation is that defence relations with major western powers, Britain, and the United States, were critical as they contributed to strengthening Singapore's defence capabilities and added weight to Singapore's diplomatic manoeuvres to serve its security interests. Although this dissertation draws mainly on archival materials from traditional sources such as Australia, Britain, Singapore, and the United States, it includes materials from non-traditional sources. These are declassified South African intelligence files and personal materials provided by a United States-based former diplomat who had engagements with the CIA, SID, and other Southeast Asian intelligence services during the Cold War. The breadth of materials and documents provides a deeper insight into Singapore's threat perceptions. It challenges the conventional narrative that Malaysia and Indonesia have been Singapore's principal security concerns since the island-state's independence in 1965. Additionally, these historical materials offer an insight into several new under-researched areas in the history of Singapore's defence policy, such as the role of the FPDA in the area of maritime awareness for Singapore, the United States' expansion of its military presence in Singapore and contributions to the rapid growth of Singapore's military capabilities in the 1970s; and significantly, Singapore's covert operations in a foreign military conflict during the 1980s. Therefore, the findings in this dissertation provide the reader with a broader and fresh perspective of Singapore's defence policy during the Cold War.
