description: Topological growth control allows to produce a narrow distribution of outgrown colloidal rods with defined and adjustable length. We use an external magnetic field to assemble paramagnetic colloidal spheres into colloidal rods of a chosen length. The rods reside above ametamorphic hexagonalmagnetic pattern. The periodic repetition of specific loops of the orientation of an applied external field renders paramagnetic colloidal particles and their assemblies into active bipeds that walk on the pattern. The metamorphic patterns allow the robust and controlled polymerization of single colloids to bipeds of a desired length. The colloids are exposed to this fixed external control loop that causes multiple simultaneous responses: Small bipeds and single colloidal particles interpret the external magnetic loop as an order to walk toward the active zone, where they assemble and polymerize. Outgrown bipeds interpret the same loop as an order to walk away from the active zone. The topological transition occurs solely for the growing biped and nothing is changed in the environment nor in the magnetic control loop. As in many biological systems the decision of a biped that reached its outgrown length to walk away from the reaction site is made internally, not externally.
Neo-Neutrality of Money Under Non-Perfect Competition: Why do Economists Fail to See the Possibility?
Creators: name: Ng, Yew-Kwang
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Despite the demonstration that non-perfect competition makes money possibly non-neutral (Ng 1977, 1980, 1982, 1986, 1992), economists now (e.g. Dixon and Rankin 1994) still regard additional distortions or frictions, such as menu costs, as necessary, in combination with non-perfect competition, to make money non-neutral. This paper explains this inconsistency. Really, it has only been shown that a real equilibrium can still be an equilibrium even if money supply changes. However, a change in money supply may also shift the economy from one equilibrium to another. When such possibilities prevail, there exists an interfirm macroeconomic externality where the expansion by each firm benefits other firms apart from the familiar income multiplier effects. Some real-world factors making monetary non-neutrality more likely to prevail are briefly outlined. In particular, revenue maximization and average-cost pricing increases the likelihood. When the economy does not but is close to possessing a continuum of equilibria, a tax reduction as aggregate demand increases may make a higher real output sustainable as an equilibrium point. Moreover, the tax reduction may be self-financing.
Priorities of health policy: cost shifting or population health

description: The theme of this paper is that recent and proposed health policy in Australia has focused upon issues of relatively minor significance while failing to adequately address major inequities and system deficiencies which have significant effects upon mortality, the quality of life and the fairness of the distribution of services. The paper briefly comments upon some recent initiatives which appear to be more concerned with the distribution of income and costs than with the fairness or efficiency of the distribution of health or health services. These policies are contrasted with five problem areas in the health system requiring urgent reform but which have been largely neglected or insufficiently addressed.

description: La mucositis es el principal efecto secundario ante un tratamiento antineoplásico, caracterizado por dolor e inflamación de la superficie de la membrana mucosa. Proporciona una vía de entrada para las bacterias que residen dentro de la cavidad oral, lo que puede desencadenar una bacteriemia o algunas otras complicaciones que pueden interferir tanto en el tratamiento como en la calidad de vida del paciente oncológico. El manejo de la mucositis bucal incluye medidas preventivas, farmacológicas y no farmacológicas que mejoran el estado nutricional, hidratación y calidad de vida de los pacientes, los cuales en conjunto favorecen el pronóstico del cáncer, es por ello, que es importante conocer la amplia variedad de agentes terapéuticos disponibles para su tratamiento y que el odontólogo se encuentre familiarizado con el uso de los mismos en su práctica clínica antes y durante el curso del tratamiento oncológico del paciente. El manejo de las complicaciones producidas por el tratamiento antineoplásico debe ser prioridad tanto para el médico como para el odontólogo, con el fin de prevenir complicaciones orales mediante la aplicación de los diferentes protocolos y alternativas de manejo de la mucositis, empleándolos de manera adecuada y precisa para obtener mejores resultados y brindarle comodidad y alivio al paciente. El propósito del presente manuscrito fue describir diversas alternativas de tratamiento a la mucositis oral en pacientes bajo tratamiento antineoplásico.

Shopping and convenience: a model for retail centres

Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: The unplanned retail centre (also known as the downtown centre, town centre or strip centre) continues to lose market share to the planned shopping centre. At the same time unprecedented growth in the development of the concept of 'service' in the retail sector has focussed attention on elements of customer service which influence centre patronage and store choice. A key element of service cited in retail studies is that of'convenience'. Previous studies have identified various attributes of convenience. Not until 1993 (Gehrt and Yale) were the temporal, spatial and energy/effort costs of shopping discussed. This paper offers a more inclusive definition of convenience, one that incorporates shopping costs and attributes of convenience. In doing so, it highlights the need to treat existing patronage studies with caution, and the need for research to revisit the convenience concept and to test the model proposed. Efforts to revive unplanned centres have achieved mixed success. One possible explanation is that convenience has been largely ignored as a strategy for rejuvenation.

description: Introducción: La leche materna es un fluido vivo, cambiante, que se adapta en función de las necesidades de los lactantes, protege su salud y desarrollo desde las primeras horas de vida hasta los 6 meses y se puede seguir ofreciendo junto con alimentación complementaria hasta los 2 años. Desafortunadamente el creciente abandono de la lactancia materna exclusiva (LME) por diferentes factores sociales, económicas y culturales incide de manera negativa en la salud. Objetivo: Identificar las incidencias en el abandono de la LME en mujeres lactantes atendidas durante los primeros cuatro meses en el Hospital de la Mujer Zacatecana (HMZ). Material y métodos: Estudio cuantitativo, no experimental transversal y descriptivo realizado en 96 madres lactantes cuyo parto fue atendido en el HMZ y que acudieron al tamiz neonatal. Se aplicó un cuestionario con una escala Likert para medir los factores que inciden en el abandono LME. Resultados: La relación entre LME, la percepción en la producción de leche (P=0.045) y la dificultad para amamantar (P=0.000) es estadísticamente significativo. Las mujeres que practican LME consideran que su producción es suficiente a regular y son las que casi nunca han presentado dificultad y por ende no han abandonado. Conclusión: La falta de confianza y la capacidad para amamantar son factores individuales que llegan a deteriorar la práctica de LME. El amamantar es una decisión propia de la madre y se debe de propiciar factores externos positivos para apoyarla.

Will the Law in Australia protect the Whistleblower
Creators: name: Moore, Len
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: In Australia the whistleblower attracted no statutory protection until some States legislated in the early nineties. At the time of writing there is no comprehensive protection in Federal law whilst the common-law offers only the slightest refuge. Its scope is limited by the courts' tentative statements on the nature of public interests and by their insistence on rigorous standards of good faith and accuracy in the complainant. Recent events involving a junior police officer in Victoria have highlighted some tensions which can arise from whistleblowing in a regulated service with its own detailed code of discipline. This paper explores the differing measures of protection offered to whistleblowers employed in the private and public sectors. It examines the measure of legal protection available to each and the hazards that confront workers in public employment who complain of misdeeds by their fellow-workers rather than by their employer.
Refighting the Eureka Stockade: managing and marketing the heritage of a dissonant battlefield

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: On December 3 1854 British troops attacked a group of rebellious miners at a rudimentary stockade on the Ballarat goldfield in Australia. The battle only lasted 15 minutes, but its meaning and significance have been vigorously debated for 150 years. The various interpretations of the Eureka Stockade include it as the birthplace of Australian democracy, a catalyst for republicanism and radicalism, or as minor bourgeois tax revolt. Similarly the Eureka Flag (the Southern Cross) has excited various and conflicting passions. This paper examines the dissonant, contested and fragmentary nature of the main tourist developments associated with the Eureka Stockade. These include the Eureka Stockade Centre (which aims to provide a 'non-political' interpretation); the Ballarat Fine Art Gallery (which holds the Eureka Flag); the use of Eureka for destination branding of Ballarat and the conflicting interpretations conveyed in the recent 150th Anniversary Festival.

description: The Consumer Panel of Australia data collected by The Roy Morgan Research Centre is used to investigate the determinants of brand choice behavior in the laundry detergent market. To reduce potential problems of heterogeneity in the market all purchases of the eleven leading brands in the Melbourne metropolitan area over the period July 1992 to June 1993 are considered. The purchases over this period are divided into an estimation sample and a holdout sample. A mixed Logit model is then fitted using the estimation sample. Price, brand loyalty, household size and household income are found to be significant in explaining brand choice behavior. A test for the, potentially restrictive, property of Independence of Irrelevant Alternatives (IIA) is carried out and it is found that IIA is acceptable for this data. The model appears to fit well and estimated elasticities are presented. The estimated model is then validated using the holdout sample. It is found that the model is very good at predicting the brand choices made by consumers in the holdout sample.

La nanomedicina tiene la capacidad de incorporar, encapsular o conjugar medicamentos para ser dirigidos a una población celular blanco y de entregar los mismos a un sitio especifico de una forma más directa. También se han agregado NPs a biomateriales dentales con el fin de mejorar sus propiedades y cualidades fisicoquímicas y así ayudar principalmente en la prevención de la formación de PDB. Una característica importante de cualquier sistema farmacológico a tener en cuenta es la biocompatibilidad, cuyo objetivo es minimizar los efectos de citotoxicidad inespecífica a los tejidos sanos mientras maximiza el efecto del medicamento en los tejidos diana o en contra de patógenos invasores.

Intertemporal Impartial Welfare Maximization: Replacing Discounting by Probability Weighting
Creators: name: Ng, Yew-Kwang
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Impartiality requires putting the welfare of future generations at par with that of our own. However, rational choice requires weighting all welfare values by the respective probabilities of realization. As the risk of non-survival of mankind is strictly positive for all time periods and as the probability of non-survival is cumulative, the probability weights operate like discount factors, though justified on a morally justifiable and completely different ground. Impartial intertemporal welfare maxirnization is acceptable though the welfare of people in the very far future has no significant effect. As the probability of people existing a trillion to the power of a trillion centuries from now is close to zero, the fact that their voice now is also close to zero should not be regarded as the dictatorship of the present, properly interpreted.

description: This paper examines the complex issue of customer satisfaction in the context of government social security services. It addresses why governments might wish to improve customer satisfaction, overviews the relevant customer satisfaction literature, and presents preliminary findings from part of a large study designed to concurrently ascertain whether service providers are attuned to recipient opinions, what is important to the recipients, and how they rate the existing service. Service providers perceived that recipients would have a more negative view of the service than actually reported by recipients. Main effects were also found for age and sex. Approximately 38 per cent of recipients indicated that they would try another provider if this became possible; some of this group were also amongst those who were highly satisfied with the existing service. Required frequency of contact was related to disloyalty. Although quality expectations influenced levels of satisfaction, combined predictors were only able to account for up to about 40 per cent of the variance.

Import Demand Elasticities for Mauritius and South Africa: Evidence from two recent cointegration techniques

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

description: This paper applies two new tests for cointegration to re-estimate the import demand elasticities for Mauritius and South Africa. The data for Mauritius are for the period 1963 to 1995 while those for South Africa are for the period 1960 to 1996. Stability of the cointegration space is examined using the Hansen stability tests. Based on the bounds testing procedure for cointegration - the autoregressive distributed lag and the error correction test approaches - we find evidence of cointegration for both countries. Domestic income and relative prices have significant implications on import demands of the two countries in the long run, with the former having the most impact. The cointegration space appears stable for both countries. The dynamic relationship in the import demand model is also apparent from the results; this suggests that any shock to imports takes Mauritius three years and South Africa eight years away from the equilibrium level.

description: This is the first of two papers that examine the capacity of a management consultancy (the Company) to adopt a new team-based business model. The first part of the paper utilises Soft Systems Methodology and the change kaleidoscope to examine the cultural paradigm that pervades the Company. As a result of the investigations derived from the Soft Systems work, the researchers used Belbins' SPI as a method of distinguishing between different personality types and various team roles in order to asses if the consultants were capable of working together in teams. The analysis reported in this paper showed that the firm did not have adequate policies, structures or culture. The analysis reported in the second paper suggested it did not have the appropriate mix of consultants to support a team-based business model.

Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This paper examines the effects of exchange rate variability on export demand for semiconductors, which is the largest sub-sector of electronics industry in Malaysia as reported by MIDA (Malaysian Industrial Development Authority, 2004). The empirical results, which are estimated based on the Johansen’s multivariate co-integration tests and error correction model, suggest that there is a unique long-run relationship among quantities of export, relative price, real foreign income, and real exchange rate variability. The major finding of this paper is that the variability of real exchange rate has some effect on semiconductor exports in both the long-run and the short-run. In the light of rapid advances in technology in the global markets for electronics products, the findings are useful to policy makers for the design and target of appropriate exchange rate and industrial policies to enhance the export competitiveness of semiconductor industry.

description: This study examined gender differences in job change for advancement from four major sets of explanations: those of male-dominated environments, advancement opportunities, family roles and responsibilities, and attitudes to mobility. Survey data were collected from 4112 Australian managers and professionals at Time 1 to measure the predictors and collected again from 2211 respondents (1020 women, 1191 men) two years later to measure the criterion variables. Controlling for Time 1 job change and demographic variables, regression analyses showed, as expected, that gender moderated the prediction of job change by the four sets of factors. Women relocated and changed organizations for advancement more than men when 2 years earlier they had been in male-dominated environments (did not work with a woman manager, lack of EEO policy) and had a greater willingness to relocate or change organizations to advance. Unexpectedly, gender differences in job change were less predicted by family circumstances and advancement opportunities than by male-dominated environments and attitudes to mobility. The reasons for differences in the prediction of men's and women's job changes for advancement were discussed.

description: The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve is used to describe the performance of a diagnostic test which classifies observations into two groups. We introduce a new method for selecting bandwidths when computing kernel estimates of ROC curves. Our technique allows for interaction between the distributions of each group of observations and gives substantial improvement in MISE over other proposed methods, especially when the two distributions are very different.

description: In this paper the three-moment capital asset pricing model (TMCAPM) is tested using a sample of Australian equity returns over the thirty-year period 1963-1992. Specially, the tests are performed using a direct optimisation of nonlinear restrictions in a generalised method of moments (GMM) framework. In general, the results are quite mixed. While in several test periods, the TMCAPM could not be rejected, in others strong rejections were observed. The mixed nature of the results are reinforced by some ancillary observations regarding the relationship between estimates of market skewness; the price of gamma; and the marginal rate of substitution of skewness for variance.

description: This interim evaluation reports on the effect of participation in a complementary health intervention program, the Health Enhancement Lifestyle Program (HELP) conducted at Cedar Court Hospital, Melbourne. The HELP program comprises group processes, yoga, diet, exercise and other physical and existential activities and is supported by the hospital's administration; including its support for staff to attend, advertising of HELP as part of the hospital's marketing activities and the creation of the Department of Complementary Therapies. The evaluation employed a one-group pretest-posttest design using program participants. There was no control group. Of the 80 participants enrolled in HELP, 44 completed both pre- and post-HELP questionnaires. The post-HELP questionnaires were administered three months after HELP. Examination of demographic and pre-HELP questionnaire data showed the follow-up group were not dissimilar to other HELP participants. The health outcome improvements suggested HELP had small to moderate, but significant, therapeutic impacts lasting for at least 3 months post-participation in the areas of general health and illness, vitality, anxiety, hostility, guilt, psychological well-being and health-related quality of life. The data were also suggestive of improvements in social relationships, mental health and overall physical health, although these just failed to reach statistical significance. There appeared to be no impact on participants' physical health status or positive affect. These results are, however, subject to the caveat that participants were well educated, employed in high status professions and were fee-paying. Given these characteristics of participants in this evaluation, it is not known whether the findings can be extrapolated to the general population or whether the impacts noted in this report lead to long-term health improvements. Subject to this caveat, sufficient evidence was found to conclude that the HELP program appeared to be of benefit to participants at three-month follow-up; as shown by significant improvements in the general health, level of illness, vitality and psychological well-being; and significant reductions in negative affect, hostility, guilt and anxiety.

description: This project's aim is to identify the training and management development needs of Quality Managers. Training is regarded as a very significant factor in the improvement of quality in organisations, once commitment has been achieved. The project explored whether Quality training was objectively, systematically, and continuously performed in Australia, and i f so, by whom. Using a combination of questionnaire and case studies, the aim of the research was to examine whether the training needs of Quality Managers in Australia were being realised. The study included Australian quality practitioners and professional associations. Questions asked of Quality Managers included: what personal and professional management development training they have had in the past 5 years; what training programs have they provided for others in that period; what current programs are in progress, if any; how effective were their newly acquired skills; and what do they consider to be their needs and the needs of the organisation, for future development. Further, a number of quality management professional associations were contacted regarding their training and management development programs for Quality Managers. Questions of interest included: what do they offer; how do they determine the needs of their members; who provides these programs; how do they communicate these programs to their members; how do they communicate these programs to their members; how do they evaluate the success or otherwise of their programs; and by what process of evaluation do they determine future needs. This data has been collated and analysed and has been discussed in depth amongst both practitioners and academics in Australia.
Trends, Lead Times and Forecasting

description: The local linear trend and global linear trend models embody extreme assumptions about trends. According to the local linear trend formulation the level and growth rate are allowed to rapidly adapt to changes in the data path. On the other hand, the global linear trend model makes no allowance for structural change. In this paper we introduce a new model that, as well as encompassing the global linear trend and local linear trend models, allows for a range of "in between" cases. The theoretical properties of the autocovariance and forecast functions for this model suggest that it should be useful when neither a local linear trend nor a global linear trend is appropriate. A comparison of forecasting performance using real time series provides further support for this hypothesis.

description: Child labour is a complex problem basically rooted in poverty. The Government of India has formulated policies since the economic reforms of the early 1990s. Children under fourteen comprise 3.6 per cent of the total labour force in India. Nearly eighty-five per cent are engaged in the traditional agricultural sector, less than nine per cent in manufacturing, services and repairs and only about 0.8 per cent are in factories. The elimination of child labour is a priority and is being implemented at the grass roots level in India. A large number of non-governmental and voluntary organizations are involved in this process along with national and international organisations. This paper reviews the child labour situation in India and analyses the effect of globalisation on child labour.

description: In this paper, the authors draw on their practical experience in a mid-sized service organisation to offer a conceptualisation of Knowledge Management (KM) as a dynamic feedback system. In this conceptualisation, appropriate learning and innovation systems support a free-flow of experiences and insights in a series of productive conversations and dialogues that provide energy to leverage in the creation and flow of "knowledge" as an ongoing dynamic feedback system.
