description: We study synchronisation between periodically driven, interacting classical spins undergoing a Hamiltonian dynamics. In the thermodynamic limit there is a transition between a regime where all the spins oscillate synchronously for an infinite time with a period twice as the driving period (synchronized regime) and a regime where the oscillations die after a finite transient (chaotic regime). We emphasize the peculiarity of our result, having been synchronisation observed so far only in driven-dissipative systems. We discuss how our findings can be interpreted as a period-doubling time crystal and we show that synchronisation can appear both for an overall regular and an overall chaotic dynamics.

title: Physical Activity in Older Adults: Influences and Intervention Strategies using an Integrative Theory-based Approach

Subjects: subject: Physical activity, Older adults

subject: Health intervention strategies

description: Population ageing presents a challenge for individuals and health systems globally. While physical activity (PA) has been associated with a range of health benefits, including reducing the risk of age-related illness and disability, older adults are a group at risk for physical inactivity. The significance of this research program is in focusing on the multiple social-cognitive factors influencing PA in older adults specifically. Literature to date has tended to focus on conscious, reflective decision-making processes impacting PA. However, PA is also influenced by non-conscious, automatic processes. Furthermore, research applying multiple theoretical frameworks to understanding PA in older adults is limited. Currently, no comprehensive and theoretically integrative studies investigating PA in older adults have been conducted, which undermines efforts to facilitate PA in this population. Given that interventions aiming to promote PA in younger populations may not generalise to older individuals and that existing interventions targeting older adults produce only small effects, it is important to develop programs that are based on theory and that are also acceptable and feasible for older adults. Moreover, although the use of theory has been associated with intervention effectiveness, there is currently limited understanding of which behaviour change techniques (BCTs) are most appropriate to target specific theory-based constructs and for specific population groups. In addition, there is poor understanding of the best strategies to implement such techniques so that they are most useful for older adults
Vacuum polarisation induced coupling between Maxwell and Kalb-Ramond Fields

description: We present here a manifestly gauge invariant calculation of vacuum polarization to fermions in the presence of a constant Maxwell and a constant Kalb-Ramond field in four dimensions. The formalism is a generalisation of the one used by Schwinger in his famous paper on gauge invariance and vacuum polarization. We get an explicit expression for the vacuum polarization induced effective Lagrangian for a constant Maxwell field interacting with a constant Kalb-Ramond field. In the weak field limit we get the coupling between the Maxwell field and the Kalb-Ramond field to be $(\tilde{H}.\tilde{F})^2$, where ${\tilde H}_μ= {1\over {3!}}ε_{μαβλ}H^{αβλ}$ and $\tilde F$ is the dual of $F_{μν}$.

title: Australian Household Asset Portfolios: Diversification, Ownership and Life-Cycle Events
Creators: name: West, Tracey
Publisher: name: Griffith University
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Household, Income, and Labour Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) Survey
subject: Household assets, Australia
subject: Asset portfolios, Australians

description: The objective of this thesis is to gain insight into the broad asset class decisions of households, in comparison to saving and investment theory. Investment theory prescribes that asset portfolios should be as highly diversified as possible to reduce unsystematic risk. Over the long term, this should provide the highest possible returns given the minimal risk chosen to be undertaken. Savings theory on the other hand, predicts that households choose assets in accordance with life-cycle stages as well as to satisfy some motives for saving like retirement and to bequest wealth to heirs. The household finance literature shows that the financial decisions of households are somewhat more dependent on life-cycle stages and demographic and socioeconomic characteristics than investment theory. In Australia, there is a distinct lack of empirical literature on the financial decisions of households generally, and on portfolio construction decisions more specifically. Accordingly, this thesis uses a high quality longitudinal survey of Australian households, the Household, Income, and Labour Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) Survey, to investigate three areas of asset portfolio decision-making. The HILDA Survey began in 2001 and aims to track 7,682 households comprising 19,914 individuals throughout their lives, and includes broad social and economic topics, including attitudinal questions on financial risk-taking. In addition, the less-frequent wealth modules in HILDA (in 2002, 2006 and 2010) include additional questions relating to household investment in a number of key assets, including the family home and other property, superannuation, equity and cash investments, business assets, bank accounts, life insurance, trust funds, and collectables.
Power of Supersymmetry in D-particle Dynamics

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A new systematic method is developed to study to what extent the symmetry requirements alone, above all the invariance under 16 supersymmetries (SUSY), determine the completely off-shell effective action $Γ$ of a D-particle, i.e. without imposing any restrictions on its position $r^m(τ)$ and spin $θ_α(τ)$. Our method consists of (i) writing down the proper closure relations for general SUSY transformations $δ_ε$ (which necessarily involves $Γ$ itself) together with the invariance condition $δ_εΓ=0$ (ii) and solving this coupled system of functional differential equations for $δ_ε$ and $Γ$ simultaneously, modulo field redefinitions, in a consistent derivative expansion scheme. Our analysis is facilitated by a novel classification scheme introduced for the terms in $Γ$. At order 2 and 4, although no assumption is made on the underlying theory, we reproduce the effective action previously obtained at the tree and the 1-loop level in Matrix theory respectively (modulo two constants), together with the quantum-corrected SUSY transformations which close properly. This constitutes a complete unambiguous proof of off-shell non-renormalization theorems.

Constraining neutrino mass and dark energy with peculiar velocities and lensing dispersions of Type Ia supernovae

description: We show that peculiar velocities of Type Ia supernovae can be used to derive constraints on the sum of neutrino masses, $Σm_ν$, and dark energy equation of state, $w = w_0+w_a(1-a)$, from measurements of the magnitude-redshift relation, complementary to galaxy redshift and weak lensing surveys. Light from a supernova propagates through a perturbed Universe so the luminosity distance is modified from its homogeneous prediction. This modification is proportional to the matter density fluctuation and its time derivative due to gravitational lensing and peculiar velocity respectively. At low redshifts, the peculiar velocity signal dominates while at high redshifts lensing does. We show that using lensing and peculiar velocity of supernovae from the upcoming surveys WFIRST and ZTF, without other observations, we can constrain $Σm_ν \lesssim 0.31$ eV, $σ(w_0) \lesssim 0.02$, and ${σ(w_a)} \lesssim 0.18$ ($1-σ$ CL) in the $Σm_ν$-$w_0$-$w_a$ parameter space, where all the other cosmological parameters are fixed. We find that adding peculiar velocity information from low redshifts shrinks the volume of the parameter ellipsoid in this space by $\sim 33$%. We also allow $Ω_{\text{CDM}}$ to vary as well as $Σm_ν$, $w_0$ and $w_a$, and demonstrate how these constraints degrade as a consequence.

Human occupation on Rote and Sawu Islands, Nusa Tenggara Timur

description: Between the Sunda and Sahul shelves lie the Wallacean islands, never attached to larger land masses during Pleistocene times. This is the most geologically complex and active region within Indonesia (Bemmelen 1949; Audley-Charles 1981 ), due to its position at the meeting point of four geological plates: the Indo-Australian Plate, the Pacific Plate, the Eurasian Plate and the Philippine Sea Plate.The Wallacean islands belong to two main groups - the northern consisting of Sulawesi and Maluku, and the southern consisting of the Nusa Tenggara chain (Figure1.1).These chains of islands must have been used as bridges by early human populations crossing from Sunda to Sahul, and vice versa, during the time-span of human occupation of the region. The capacity of humans to cross water gaps in Wallacea during the Pleistocene is an attractive topic for archaeologists since it implies a presence of sea craft and allied technology.
Antonio Negri e Machiavelli. Il realismo politico tra modernità e postmodernità

description: This article examines Antonio Negri’s interpretation of Machiavelli, illustrating how the Florentine thinker’s reflections on tumults and power inform Negri’s political theory. By tracing Negri’s intellectual trajectory – from his early writings, culminating in Insurgencies: Constituent Power and the Modern State, to his later collaborations with Michael Hardt (Empire, Multitude, Commonwealth, Assembly) – the study demonstrates how political realism provides a framework for theorizing an alternative modernity and its postmodern transformations within hyper-globalized capitalism. At the heart of this framework is Negri’s concept of constituent power, reimagined not as a claim to sovereignty but as a radical process of conflict, disruption, and renewal. Emphasizing the interplay between virtue and fortune and employing the methodology of political realism, the article argues that Machiavelli’s legacy underpins Negri’s theoretical approach. This reinterpretation challenges conventional political theory and inspires new forms of collective self-organization – such as counter-powers, institutions of the common, and assemblies – that seek to advance absolute democracy in contemporary society.

description: In the light of recent experimental and theoretical improvements, we review our previous model-independent comparison [hep-ph/0106247] of the Super-Kamiokande (SK) and Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNO) solar neutrino event rates, including updated values for the ``equalized'' SK datum and for the reference Standard Solar Model (SSM) B neutrino flux. We find that the joint SK+SNO evidence for active neutrino flavor transitions is confirmed at the level of 3.3 standard deviations, independently of possible transitions to sterile states. Barring sterile neutrinos, we estimate the 3-sigma range for the $^8$B neutrino flux (normalized to SSM) as f_B=0.96 +0.54-0.55. Accordingly, the 3-sigma range for the energy-averaged nu_e survival probability is found to be = 0.31 +0.55-0.16, independently of the functional form of P_ee. An increase of the reference nu_e + d --> p + p + e cross section by ~3%, as suggested by recent theoretical calculations, would slightly shift the central values of f_B and of to ~1.00 and ~0.29, respectively, and would strengthen the model-independent evidence for nu_e transitions into active states at the level of ~3.6 sigma.

 Type (lectotype, designated here):— [SPAIN. Alicante], Valentia, Sierra de Castalla, July 1890, P. Porta & G. Rigo s.n. (P barcode P03686242!) (Fig. 3).
 The protologue of H. elisaeanum includes a complete description in Latin, followed by the provenance and a mention of two gatherings: “In Aragon. australi (Sierra de Javalambre ad rup. calcar. alt. 2000 m, Reverchon, Jul. 1891 et 1892) et regno Valent. (Sierra de Castalla in rupestrib. calc., alt. 1400–1800 m, Porta et Rigo, Jul. 1890)”. The protologue also includes this information: “1879 ter. Hieracium Elisaeanum Arv. Touv. sp. n. in sched. pl. exs. Reverch. Decemb. 1892 et in litt. ad Hervier (H. baeticum et flocciferum Arv. T. prius in plant. exs. Reverch. anni 1891, H. bellidifolium Porta et Rigo ap. Porta, Vegt. p. 44! non Scheele)”.
 We have found a specimen, herbarium sheet with barcode P 03686242, that belong to the Porta & Rigo’s exsiccatum mentioned in the protologue (regno Valent., Sierra de Castalla in rupestrib. calc., alt. 1400–1800 m, Porta et Rigo, Jul. 1890). This sheet bears four complete and well-developed plants, and an original printed label, annotated as: “Nº. / Hieracium bellidifolium Scheele Prodr. II. 261. / Valentina, in rupestribus Sierra Castalla / sol. calcar. 1400–1800 m.s.m. Jul. / Porta et Rigo. iter II Hispanicum 1890” (Fig. 3). This specimen is therefore a syntype of H. elisaeanum, and according to Art. 9.12 of the ICN, it has precedence in the lectotype designation before the uncited specimens and the cited and not quoted illustrations that comprise the remaining original material, if such really exist.
 Fortunately, this syntype at P is well preserved and complete, and shows several of the diagnostic characters used to differentiate this taxon as the apex of the rhizome with dense, long hairs, cauline leaves elliptical to ovate–lanceolate; capitula (1–)2–3; involucre 7–9(–11) mm long, with numerous stellate and few glandular hairs; achenes (1.5–) 2.3–2.8 mm long, and matches the traditional concept and current use of the name (see Arvet–Touvet 1913, Zahn 1930, Sell & West 1976, Mateo & Egido 2017, Mateo et al. 2017). Accordingly, we designate as the lectotype of H. the specimen kept at P.

description: As a step toward clarification of the power of supersymmetry (SUSY) in Matrix theory, a complete calculation, including all the spin effects, is performed of the effective action of a probe D-particle, moving along an arbitrary trajectory in interaction with a large number of coincident source D-particles, at one loop at order 4 in the derivative expansion. Furthermore, exploiting the SUSY Ward identity developed previously, the quantum-corrected effective supersymmetry transformation laws are obtained explicitly to the relevant order and are used to verify the SUSY-invariance of the effective action. Assuming that the agreement with 11-dimensional supergravity persists, our result can be regarded as a prediction for supergravity calculation, which, yet unavailable, is known to be highly non-trivial.

Any D-branes in the given closed string background can appear as classical solutions by using the identity projectors. Expansion around this solution gives the correct kinetic term for the open strings on the created D-branes while there are some subtleties in the unwanted degree of freedom.

description: We consider the N=1 super Yang-Mills theory with gauge group U(Nc) or SU(Nc) and one adjoint Higgs field with an arbitrary polynomial superpotential. We provide a purely field theoretic derivation of the exact effective superpotential W(S) for the glueball superfield S in the confining vacua. We show that the result matches with the Dijkgraaf-Vafa matrix model proposal. The proof brings to light a deep relationship between non-renormalization theorems first discussed by Intriligator, Leigh and Seiberg, and the fact that W(S) is given by a sum over planar diagrams.

description: The discovery of a binary neutron star merger (NSM) through both its gravitational wave and electromagnetic emission has revealed these events to be key sites of r-process nucleosynthesis. Here, we evaluate the prospects of finding the remnants of Galactic NSMs by detecting the gamma-ray decay lines from their radioactive r-process ejecta. We find that $^{126}$Sn, which has several lines in the energy range 415-695 keV and resides close to the second r-process peak, is the most promising isotope, because of its half-life $t_{1/2}=2.30(14)\times 10^{5}$ yr being comparable to the ages of recent NSMs. Using a Monte Carlo procedure, we predict that multiple remnants are detectable as individual sources by next-generation gamma-ray telescopes which achieve sub-MeV line sensitivities of $\sim 10^{-8}$-$10^{-6}$ $γ$ cm$^{-2}$ s$^{-1}$. However, given the unknown locations of the remnants, the most promising search strategy is a systematic survey of the Galactic plane and bulge extending to high Galactic latitudes. Individual known supernova remnants which may be mis-classified NSM remnants could also be targeted, especially those located outside the Galactic plane. Detection of a moderate sample of Galactic NSM remnants would provide important clues to unresolved issues such as the production of actinides in NSMs, properties of merging NS binaries, and even help distinguish them from rare supernovae as current Galactic r-process sources. We also investigate the diffuse flux from longer-lived nuclei (e.g. $^{182}$Hf) that could in principle trace the Galactic spatial distribution of NSMs over longer timescales, but find that the detection of the diffuse flux appears challenging even with next-generation telescopes.

description: Tourism and film are broadly recognised as linked through their power to create, alter and reinforce destination images (Beeton, 2005; Busby & Klug, 2001; Butler, 1990; Croy & Walker, 2004; Hudson & Ritchie, 2006; Olsberg, 2007; Riley & Van Doren, 1992; Tooke & Baker, 1996). Major motion picture films, in particular, provide the places, objects and subjects for the gaze of many people, and for some, films induce them to travel specifically to the locations where they were filmed (Riley, Baker & Van Doren, 1998). Yet, for others, visiting film sites may be incidental and simply add to more generally planned travel itineraries. Although motion picture films are not produced with the prime intent of inducing people to visit locations, this medium can enhance the awareness, appeal and profitability of destinations via images seen on the screen. It is these images that may influence consumer decision making processes in terms of motivating visitation to a film location. Understanding the relationship between tourism and popular media, such as film, is becoming more crucial as destinations strive to differentiate themselves in a crowded marketplace...
The Vocabulary of Realism: A Contextual Critique of the Epistemology of Classical Realism in International Relations Theory

Year: 2016
Subjects: classical realism

illocutionary meaning

description: The way which the classical realist tradition of International Relations Theory has come to characterise the mechanics of world politics is predicated on the classics of political theory. As an explanatory theory of International Relations, realism seeks to account for international relations on the basis of political reality, irrespective of normative and ethical issues. Despite the explanatory basis of classical realism, it nonetheless relies on the themes and theorists of political theory in a ‘softly normative’ fashion – evidence of the influence of norms in explanatory theory. However, the inclusion of classics of political theory in the realist tradition is without regard to the context of the occurrence of those classics and their illocutionary dimensions of meaning. As such, if classical realism is to be revived in a way that is suggested by theorists of both International Relations and political theory, then it must be able to survive the rigours of more contemporary interpretive methods. This thesis will therefore apply the interpretive lens of the Cambridge approach to how classical realism relies on classical of political theory to determine whether the classification of texts of political theory in the realist tradition is defensible. By determining that the realist tradition does not account for the context of classics of political theory and their illocutionary dimensions, this thesis will suggest an alternative approach in which realism can engage with political theory. This approach will be a reassessment of the epistemology of classical realism.

The chiral algebra of the resulting theory has non-trivial outer automorphisms that act as permutations on its simple factors. These automorphisms play a crucial role for constructing D-branes that couple to the twisted sector of the orbifold.

description: We investigate high density state of SU(2) QCD in the case of the Wilson fermions with Iwasaki improved action. Based on the Woodbery formula, the ratio of fermion determinants is evaluated at each step of the Metropolis link update. At $β=0.7$, for $κ= 0.150$, and $κ= 0.175$, we calculate thermodynamical quantities, such as, baryon number density, Polyakov line, and the energy density of gluon sector with chemical potential $μ$=0 to 0.9 on the $4^{3} \times 8$ lattice. The susceptibility of the Polyakov line to the chemical potential shows peak at around $μ= 0.7$ which indicates the deconfinement phase transition. Behavior of the meson and diquark propagators with finite chemical potential are also investigated at both side of the peak.

description: When you say osteoporosis, people think of their grandma’s brittle bones, but scientists think of the osteoclast. When you say cancer, people think of death, but before this, many succumb to the osteoclast. The fact is all these things are true yet it is even truer to say that each disease in fact also has more of the other – osteoporosis and death, and cancer and brittle bones. However, the commonality is undeniably the osteoclast. Scratching the surface of the osteoclast reveals that it is the basis of a diversity of bone-related disorders yet the osteoclast itself is, even given the large amount of effort devoted to it to this day, an ill- defined cell. Not surprisingly, deaths related to osteoporotic fractures and skeletal pain due to metastases to bone remain far higher than ideal. Today’s dogma describes the osteoclast as a multinucleated cell derived from the haematopoietic cell lineage that is capable of bone resorption. It is suspected that it is through multiple signalling mechanisms, that this bone-resorbing activity is augmented in certain bone diseases eventually causing osteolysis or the break down of bone. Currently, it still stands that any way to advance our understanding of the osteoclast will provide stepping stones for eventual treatments and perhaps cures for these diseases. Thus the goal of this thesis was to better characterise the osteoclast. For this, four different projects were undertaken; analysis in the osteoclast of (1) the chemokine MCP-1, (2) the RhoGTPase family, (3) DMSO and (4) genes dependent on RANKL (by array). Project results are summarised in order.

description: We study orbifold group actions on locally defined fields upon M-theory branes in a three-form C-fields background. We derive some constraints from the consistency of the orbifold group actions. We show the possibility of the existence of M-theory discrete torsion for the fields on the worldvolume and discuss its features.

description: The number of students electing to study music at the Senior Level in Queensland State High Schools has declined over recent years. Year 8 is the last time that students experience music lessons before being faced with subject choices. This study investigates the year 8 music program - its content and delivery. What can be done to improve music teaching in year 8? How can we present experiences at this level that will stimulate students' interest; improve their knowledge and skills; and develop students' aesthetic sensitivity to the art of music? This study involved conducting an action research project in a year 8 music class. This was done in collaboration with the classroom music teacher and her class of 25 students. The cyclical process as described by Zuber-Skerritt - acting, observing, reflecting, planning - was adopted. The study aimed: (a) to document positive experiences that could be used in the year 8 music classroom; (b) to stimulate new interest in the studying of senior music; (c) to discover ways to encourage music teachers to become reflective practitioners with a view to improving their practice; (d) to offer an action research model that other music teachers could implement in their classroom. The data collection involved the keeping of journals by the teacher and researcher; recorded interviews with the teacher and students; videos and photographs of the class; as well as interviews with other year 8 music teachers. The study identified a negative attitude by music teachers to the teaching of year 8 music. The dominant theme being taught at this level is Pop Music with a foundation unit being the starting point. Year 8 students also revealed a negative attitude to music lessons. This research project has demonstrated that it is possible to set up a program which engages year 8 students in music making and provides them with worthwhile learning experiences. However, at the end of the project, there was not a significant increase in the number of students electing to study music at the senior level. The study also set up a model for action research that could be adopted by other music teachers in their classrooms. The results of reflective practice employed by the researcher and the music teacher provided positive attitudes for other music teachers and encouragement for others to implement this practice in their classroom. Further studies are needed to involve other music teachers in reflective practice; collaboration in action research (especially in the year 8 classroom); and also the implementation of the new syllabus that will have a positive effect on the future of the subject of music and a positive effect on students' attitudes to the music subject.

description: The Wigner’s friend thought experiment involves two observers, a “superobserver” and a “friend”. The friend makes a measurement on a quantum system, and then the superobserver makes a measurement on the friend’s isolated laboratory, including the friend, provided that the superobserver has coherent quantum control of such a complex system. This can lead to an apparent contradiction where the superobserver claims the friend is in a superposition state, while the friend says they see a definite outcome. Recent years have seen an increase of interest in the Wigner’s friend experiment, as no-go theorems consider, in their derivations, extended Wigner’s friend scenarios in setups similar to a Bell scenario. These theorems argue that quantum theory is incompatible with sets of assumptions different from a local hidden variable model. One such theorem, by C. Brukner, introduced an extended Wigner’s friend scenario that I, along with other authors, later used to derive a no-go theorem for “Local Friendliness”, a set of assumptions weaker than Local Determinism, as unlike the latter, it does not make the assumption of Predetermination. In this thesis, I study the implications of Local Friendliness in two different extended Wigner’s friend scenarios, the one originally presented by Brukner, and another where the superobserver can interact with their friend at one of several points in time. I prove that not only is it possible for quantum mechanics to violate Local Friendliness, but also that it is always possible to find a scenario such that a violation of Bell inequalities in that scenario will be a result of a violation of Local Friendliness.
Young star cluster populations in the E-MOSAICS simulations

description: We present an analysis of young star clusters (YSCs) that form in the E-MOSAICS cosmological, hydrodynamical simulations of galaxies and their star cluster populations. Through comparisons with observed YSC populations, this work aims to test models for YSC formation and obtain an insight into the formation processes at work in part of the local galaxy population. We find that the models used in E-MOSAICS for the cluster formation efficiency and high-mass truncation of the initial cluster mass function ($M_\mathrm{c,\ast}$) both quantitatively reproduce the observed values of cluster populations in nearby galaxies. At higher redshifts ($z \geq 2$, near the peak of globular cluster formation) we find that, at a constant star formation rate (SFR) surface density, $M_\mathrm{c,\ast}$ is larger than at $z=0$ by a factor of four due to the higher gas fractions in the simulated high-redshift galaxies. Similar processes should be at work in local galaxies, offering a new way to test the models. We find that cluster age distributions may be sensitive to variations in the cluster formation rate (but not SFR) with time, which may significantly affect their use in tests of cluster mass loss. By comparing simulations with different implementations of cluster formation physics, we find that (even partially) environmentally-independent cluster formation is inconsistent with the brightest cluster-SFR and specific luminosity-$Σ_\mathrm{SFR}$ relations, whereas these observables are reproduced by the fiducial, environmentally-varying model. This shows that models in which a constant fraction of stars form in clusters are inconsistent with observations.

description: Next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) QCD corrections to Higgs boson hadroproduction have recently been calculated in the heavy top-quark limit m_t -> \infty. The m_t -> \infty limit introduces double-logarithmic corrections in ln x, with x = m_H^2 / s. We identify these corrections order by order in alpha_s. As an application, we derive an analytic expression for the dominant x << 1 part of the NNLO coefficient.

title: Comparative Study of Work-Life Balance in Franchised and Independently Owned Small Business Models

description: Work-life balance is a concept that has attracted attention for several years. It is relevant as people attempt to apportion time to different demands they face from both work and life. The multiplicity of demands that individuals have can increase this challenge as people strive to incorporate many more activities into lives. The focus of current literature regarding work-life balance tends to focus on how employees can be provided with opportunities by their organisations for achieving this elusive balance. Research has been conducted into various strategies that organisations have implemented to facilitate their employees’ lifestyle options. Furthermore, studies have examined the role of organisational initiatives and staff retention. However, many of the organisations providing these opportunities for employees have substantial resources, thereby enabling the provision of these initiatives. Previous empirical research has examined work-life balance in depth. However, there are aspects that call for further attention. In particular, the management of this concept within small business requires further research. Australia has a large number of small businesses, which comprise a large proportion of the labour force and contribute significantly the national economy. The broad category of small business includes different business models, and two of these models are the independent and the franchised business. The success of these models has been demonstrated by their rapid growth in the Australian economy. As one of the reasons most commonly cited for entering into a small business is to regain the control over one’s life and work-life balance, the purpose of this research is to investigate work-life balance from the perspective of small business owners. Examination of different research issues considering the perception of work-life balance, the impact of control, of owning a small business, and the choice of business model on work-life balance is undertaken. The research considers how small business owners perceive the concept of work-life balance, and whether it is regarded as important to them. This research seeks to understand how work-life balance is viewed differently for small business owners. The concept of control requires examination to clarify how control and work-life balance relate to each other. Due to the popularity of franchising in the small business sector, a comparison of the concept of work-life balance by both franchised and independent small business owners is warranted...
