Innovation ecosystem

description: This exploratory study provides an overview of circular economy related intellectual property (CEIP) challenges that actors in circular economy innovation ecosystems (CEIEs) face. Therefore, findings from a literature review are combined with empirical evidence from semi-structured interviews with different actors in CEIEs, including original equipment manufacturers as well as end-of-life solution providers of different company sizes and manufacturing industries. The key contributions of this paper to the literature are: (i) a preliminary framework to study IP challenges in CEIEs, (ii) the CEIP challenges framework which extends findings from the literature by categorising CEIP challenges mentioned in the conducted interviews and (iii) a visual representation of CEIP challenges in the aerospace industry.
Revolution rock: a study of a public pedagogy of protest music
Creators: name: Haycock, John
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: My theorisation of a public pedagogy of protest music is initially located in the persistent and pervasive mythology associating protest music—especially that produced as popular music in the 1960s—with social change. This thesis works to uncover understandings of the public pedagogical dimensions of protest music, as it takes place and is facilitated by protest musicians, as a radical practice and critical form of contemporary mass culture. In order to do this, I identify and explore critical and radical relationships between protest music, adult learning and education, and social change, as interactions between these contexts occur in global mass-(multi)media spaces. Research is carried out in a two-stage methodological approach of domain analysis and case study on the protest music band Midnight Oil. Based on this, my thesis provides a theorisation of public pedagogy as it encapsulates protest music, and those I conceptualise as the critical and radical public pedagogues who produce this mass cultural form. Additionally, my thesis: - conceptualises protest music as a form of popular music and in terms of its relationship with the global mass-(multi)media; - establishes and theorises the relationship between protest music, critical pedagogy and radical adult education; and - discusses how Midnight Oil, as purveyors of protest music, understand and can be understood in terms of the relationship between popular music and social change.

The Effect of Emotional Intelligence on Proactive Decision Making in the case of Branch Managers in Commercial Bank of Ethiopia
Creators: name: Cherinet, Tesfaye
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2019

description: Decisions most often result in either positive or negative outcomes. The negative side of decisions are those that reduce the performance of an entity and or organizations and frequently labeled as reactive. While those decisions which result in increasing the performance are proactive decisions. Both proactive and reactive decisions are often the result of the individuals' state of mind or emotions. The main aim of this study is to investigate the effect of employee emotional intelligence skills on their level of proactive decision making. The research dwelled more on non-experimental quantitative approach which made entirely through questionnaires as formulated and developed only for this purpose. The researcher employed Wong and Law emotional intelligence scale, and the multidimensional concept of proactive decision making(PDM) measurements. Adopting census survey method the whole population were targeted where in size is restricted to branch managers under south Addis Ababa district office. The number of targeted branches were 102.The researcher believes that result obtained from this study will be general indicator for the rest of the branch managers in the Bank. In the research statistical analysis Software Package for social sciences (SPSS) version 24 was employed and descriptive and inferential statistical methods were used. Major finding of the study reveal that individuals' emotional intelligence has significant and direct relationship with decisions that are proactive .Hence, it is recommended that the Bank should increase employees level of emotional intelligence skills by strengthening its staff development programs through delivering various trainings to management members specifically designed to branch managers since they are responsible to run core function of the organization, that is rendering customer service.
Globalization of higher education and the changing academic identity: a case study in China
Creators: name: Wang, Xuhong
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Globalization has become a powerful force shaping our political, economic, and social lives during the past decades. In order to promote the role of universities in economic development and international competition, national governments worldwide started to reform higher education systems. During this global transition, academics are encouraged to build collaborations with industry and international researchers. The development of new policies ensures the states to achieve this aim. The changing governance and its related education policies have far reaching influences on academic work and academic identities. There is a substantial literature documenting the impacts of this globalizing process on academics’ workplace in Western countries. However, limited studies have been conducted to investigate the effects of these reforms in Chinese context. This thesis draws on the socio-cultural theory to analyse the experiences of Chinese academics doing research and how their academic work and professional identities are shaped during these global transformations. Guided by the new model of governance, Chinese governments and universities reformed their educational polices that govern faculty members’ work. This study focuses specifically on the effects of evaluation policies, salary policies, and funding policies in higher education, as these polices have direct influences on academic work and academic identities. This study reports on a case study at a leading university in China. Using in-depth semi-structured interviews, this study documents how industry collaborations and international collaborations of academics in social science departments are shaped by the changing policies. When the Chinese government responds to the globalizing processes, the policy changes produce significant impacts on higher education. Academics are regulated by polices at both university level and department level. The changing policies applied in Chinese universities are double-edged swords. They affect academic work and professional identities by creating challenges and constraints, as well as opportunities and possibilities. This study shows that Chinese academics cherish the traditional academic values, such as academic freedom, autonomy, self-regulation and control, searching for truth, independent work, and low level of outside interference. Instead of being passive recipients of the education reform and the changing policies, they actively engage in the reforms. Although there are increasing rules regulating their research activities, they still have the capacity to negotiate in their workplace.

description: A wide variety of two-dimensional electron systems (2DES) allow for independent control of the total and relative charge density of two-component fractional quantum Hall (FQH) states. In particular, a recent experiment on bilayer graphene (BLG) observed a continuous transition between a compressible and incompressible phase at total filling $ν_T = \frac{1}{2}$ as charge is transferred between the layers, with the remarkable property that the incompressible phase has a finite interlayer polarizability. We argue that this occurs because the topological order of $ν_T = \frac{1}{2}$ systems supports a novel type of interlayer exciton that carries Fermi statistics. If the fermionic excitons are lower in energy than the conventional bosonic excitons (i.e., electron-hole pairs), they can form an emergent neutral Fermi surface, providing a possible explanation of an incompressible yet polarizable state at $ν_T = \frac{1}{2}$. We perform exact diagonalization studies which demonstrate that fermionic excitons are indeed lower in energy than bosonic excitons. This suggests that a "topological exciton metal" hidden inside a FQH insulator may have been realized experimentally in BLG. We discuss several detection schemes by which the topological exciton metal can be experimentally probed.
The Effect of Customer Satisfaction on the Performance of Wegagen Bank S.C
Creators: name: Amanuel, Berhane
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2018

description: Customers evaluate a product or service in terms of whether that product or service has met their needs and expectations. Customer satisfaction is derived largely from the quality and reliability of products and services. Commercial banks encounter similar problems in meeting customer's expectation of services and customer satisfaction. The general purpose of this paper was to assess the effect of service quality on customer satisfaction in Wegagen Bank S.C. The sample was 136 customers from five branches of Wegagen Bank Share Company operating in Addis Ababa city. Convenience sampling was used to select a sample. Data was collected using questionnaires and analyzed and presented using descriptive as well as inferential statistical tools including the use of frequency, tables and Pearson Correlation Coefficient and linear regressions with the help of Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20. Research findings revealed that most of the customers who use Wegagen bank services are satisfied or find these services 'average'. The responsiveness and assurance dimensions of service quality found to be the significant contributors customer satisfaction. The determinant factors; responsiveness for customer's need and assurance of the bank have been found to have a statistically positive effect on customer satisfaction hence there is need for Wegagen bank to improve on these determinant factors.
Teaching children with autism spectrum disorder through technology: the effects of using an iPad as both a supportive and independent teaching tool

description: The advancements in software application and mobile technology, have seen numerous ways in which technology can been used to teach children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Many studies have demonstrated the positive outcomes and benefits associated with the use of technological devices such as tablets in the education of children with ASD. There are, however, gaps in the current body of research. Firstly, the evidence base to support the use of mobile technology to teach academic skills to children with ASD is limited; secondly, many studies have evaluated the use of tablet devices as a supportive teaching tool, whilst few studies have evaluated the use of tablet devices as an independent teaching tool. Through a series of studies, this doctoral research aimed to investigate the effectiveness of utilising iPad-based interventions as both a supportive and independent teaching tool; to teach children with ASD academic and language skills. Ten children with ASD aged between three and 11 years participated across four intervention studies with a variety of single case research designs. This thesis demonstrates the utility of an iPad and its capabilities as both a supportive and independent teaching tool. The series of studies demonstrated that additional prompting procedures can be utilised to further improve performance in children with ASD. The implications of this thesis may provide information to practitioners as well as families about viable intervention options available to children with ASD.

Linear predictors for nonlinear dynamical systems: Koopman operator meets model predictive control
Creators: name: Korda, Milan
name: Mezić, Igor
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Optimization and Control (math.OC)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: This paper presents a class of linear predictors for nonlinear controlled dynamical systems. The basic idea is to lift the nonlinear dynamics into a higher dimensional space where its evolution is approximately linear. In an uncontrolled setting, this procedure amounts to a numerical approximation of the Koopman operator associated to the nonlinear dynamics. In this work, we extend the Koopman operator to controlled dynamical systems and compute a finite-dimensional approximation of the operator in such a way that this approximation has the form a linear controlled dynamical system. In numerical examples, the linear predictors obtained in this way exhibit a performance superior to existing linear predictors such as those based on local linearization or the so-called Carleman linearization. Importantly, the procedure to construct these linear predictors is completely data-driven and extremely simple -- it boils down to a nonlinear transformation of the data (the lifting) and a linear least squares problem in the lifted space that can be readily solved for large data sets. These linear predictors can be readily used to design controllers for the nonlinear dynamical system using linear controller design methodologies. We focus in particular on model predictive control (MPC) and show that MPC controllers designed in this way enjoy computational complexity of the underlying optimization problem comparable to that of MPC for a linear dynamical system of the same size. Importantly, linear inequality constraints on the state and control inputs as well as nonlinear constraints on the state can be imposed in a linear fashion in the proposed MPC scheme. Similarly, cost functions nonlinear in the state variable can be handled in a linear fashion. Numerical examples (including a high-dimensional nonlinear PDE control) demonstrate the approach with the source code available online.

description: We completely describe by generators and relations and classify all Hopf algebras which factorize through the Taft algebra $T_{m^{2}}(q)$ and the group Hopf algebra $K[C_{n}]$: they are $nm^{2}$-dimensional quantum groups $T_{nm^{2}}^ ω(q)$ associated to an $n$-th root of unity $ω$. Furthermore, using Dirichlet's prime number theorem we are able to count the number of isomorphism types of such Hopf algebras. More precisely, if $d = {\rm gcd}(m,ν(n))$ and $\frac{ν(n)}{d} = p_1^{α_1} \cdots p_r^{α_r}$ is the prime decomposition of $\frac{ν(n)}{d}$ then the number of types of Hopf algebras that factorize through $T_{m^{2}}(q)$ and $K[C_n]$ is equal to $(α_1 + 1)(α_2 + 1) \cdots (α_r + 1)$, where $ν(n)$ is the order of the group of $n$-th roots of unity in $K$. As a consequence of our approach, the automorphism groups of these Hopf algebras are described as well.

description: Bounds, expressed in terms of d and N, on full Bell locality of a quantum state for $N\geq 3$ nonlocally entangled qudits (of a dimension $d\geq 2$) mixed with white noise are known, to our knowledge, only within full separability of this noisy N-qudit state. For the maximal violation of general Bell inequalities by an N-partite quantum state, we specify the analytical upper bound expressed in terms of dilation characteristics of this state, and this allows us to find new general bounds in $d, N$, valid for all $d\geq 2$ and all $N\geq 3$, on full Bell locality under generalized quantum measurements of (i) the N-qudit GHZ state mixed with white noise and (ii) an arbitrary N-qudit state mixed with white noise. The new full Bell locality bounds are beyond the known ranges for full separability of these noisy N-qudit states.

Academic freedom : examining its enactment as an organisational value in Australian universities
Creators: name: Anderson, Peter Joseph
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Academic Freedom is an idea that has existed since the emergence of the modern university in the Middle-Ages in Europe. Enshrined into the logic of the university, it appears as a concept, an ideal, and an ideology, and while broadly discussed in the personal, professional and organisational enactments of this enduring idea, it has not been examined as a specific organisational value to understand its multidimensional existence. The central aim of this research has been to discover what contributes to the practice of, and limitations to, Academic Freedom as experienced by Australian academics. Employing a critical, interpretative and descriptive methodological approach involving in-depth interviews with academics from a range of humanities and social sciences disciplines, analysis of data has revealed that Academic Freedom, as a foundational value, is still alive, and indeed, still held as a personal, professional and organisational value by these academics. It has been found in this research that the enactment of Academic Freedom is mostly strongly influenced by academic rank. Further, there are three tiers of enactment being the personal, professional, and organisational that intersect and sometimes contradict one another.

Factors Affecting the Performance of Bank Agents: The Case of United Bank S.C.
Creators: name: Andargachew, Beyene
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2019

description: In a growing number of countries, banks are finding new ways to deliver financial services in a better way. Rather than using bank branches and bank employees, banks are offering various services through retail outlets. The agency banking business model was aimed at broadening financial inclusion to the majority of the unbanked people with low cost and better access. Even though the agent banking has been introduced in Ethiopia a couple years ago, its success factors have not been studied in depth as the industry is still young. The objective of the study is to investigate the factors determining the performance of agent banking business in Ethiopia. This study adopted descriptive research in design. The population for this study was all agents of United Bank S.C. operating both in Addis Ababa and rural areas of Ethiopia and 196 agents were selected as a sample. Convenience sampling method and structured questionnaires were used to select the sample and collect data, respectively. The study used quantitative research method and inferential statistical techniques were used to analyze the data. The results of correlation analysis revealed that positive and significant relationship was found between agent experience & knowledge, network & technological capability, agent commitment, brand of the represented bank, and reward and performance of agents. Whereas, fraud & cost of delivering financial services had negative and insignificant relation with performance of agent. The multiple linear regression analysis revealed that agent experience & knowledge, network & technological capability, brand of the represented bank and reward had significant effect on performance of agents, while fraud, agent commitment, and cost of delivering financial services had insignificant effect. The study concluded that brand of the represented bank, reward, agent experience & knowledge, and network & technological capability were the major factors affecting performance of bank agents. The study recommended that brand of the represented bank, reward, agent experience & knowledge, and network & technological capability should be given more attention by the bank and its agents to improve agent banking performance and fully utilize the sector's potential. Further the study recommended that banks and agents should also give emphasis for agent banking business model considering the success of many countries in the world and the untapped market potential of Ethiopia.

description: This study analyzes the impact of large anti‐lockdown protests on the spread of SARS‐CoV‐2 in Germany. Since protesters at such large gatherings are very mobile and largely neglect SARS‐CoV‐2 containment strategies, they may contribute to the regional transmission of the coronavirus. Employing novel data on bus connections of travel companies specialized in driving protesters to these gatherings, and exploiting the timing of two large‐scale demonstrations in November 2020, we estimate the causal impact of these protests on the spread of SARS‐CoV‐2 using an event study framework. Our findings imply sizable increases in infection rates in protesters' origin regions after these demonstrations. A month after the protests, treated areas face a relative increase in infection rates up to 35% compared to non‐treated areas. Our results shed light on public health consequences of behavior that ignores potential externalities for the society during a pandemic.
Effect of Low Temperature Preservation on The Physicochemical and Microbiological Qualitieis of Selected Fish Species of Lake Ziway

description: With the purpose of determining the effect of frozen storage on quality of fish fillet and evaluating the existing low temperature preservation technique in the case of Fish Production and Marketing Enterprise, samples from the same lot of commercially harvested and processed tilapia fish (Oreochromis niloticus) fillets were frozen at -18 ± 2oc. The physicochemical and microbiological analyses were carried out at regular 15 days interval on tilapia fish fillets stored for up to 90 days. The fresh fish fillets were found to contain 18.52±0.08% protein, 0.37 ± 0.01% fat, 79.87 ± 0.01% moisture and 0.98 ± 0.01% ash contents. During the entire period of storage, the protein, moisture and ash contents were significantly (p < 0.05) decreased to 17.25 ± 0.088%, 78.50 ± 0.71%, and 0.88 ± 0.02% respectively. However, the fat content of the fish fillets increased significantly (p < 0.05) to 0.56 ± 0.01 after 90 days of frozen storage. The TVB-N and pH values were also increased significantly (p < 0.05) from 12.04 ± 0.48 mg N/100g and 6.43 ± 0.01 to 21.75 ± 0.35 mg N/100g and 6.61 ± 0.01 respectively. The total bacterial load in fresh fish fillets was reduced from 2.57x106 to 8.2x105 CFU/g after 90 days of frozen storage. The total coliforms and faecal coliforms were also decreased from 460 MPN/g and 23 MPN/g to 23 MPN/g and undetectable level, respectively. From these results it was concluded that freezing, if not properly used, has a negative effect on reduction of nutritional value of fish products. The storage of tilapia fish fillets under frozen condition showed a significantly (p < 0.05) higher deterioration of product quality. The nutritional quality, as estimated by the proximate composition analysis, underwent a gradual loss of nutrients until day 90, in agreement with loss of freshness of the fish fillets observed for the TVB-N. Furthermore, the results revealed that gradual biochemical changes reduce the quality of frozen fish fillets as the duration of storage increases. Under frozen condition, the overall nutritional quality of tilapia fish fillets was found to depend on duration of frozen storage.

Ensemble methods for recommender systems have been used in the past in batch algorithms, however they have never been studied with incremental algorithms that learn from data streams. We evaluate online bagging with an incremental matrix factorization algorithm for top-N recommendation with positive-only -- binary -- ratings. Our results show that online bagging is able to improve accuracy up to 35% over the baseline, with small computational overhead.

description: We report the Australia Telescope Compact Array 16 cm observation of CIZA J1358.9-4750. Recent X-ray studies imply that this galaxy cluster is composed of merging, binary clusters. Using the EW367 configuration, we found no significant diffuse radio emission in and around the cluster. An upper limit of the total radio power at 1.4 GHz is $\sim 1.1 \times 10^{22}$ Watt/Hz in $30$ square arcminutes which is a typical size of radio relics. It is known that an empirical relation holds between the total radio power and X-ray luminosity of the host cluster. The upper limit is about one order of magnitude lower than the power expected from the relation. Very young ($\sim 70$ Myr) shocks with low Mach numbers ($\sim 1.3$), which are often seen at an early stage of merger simulations, are suggested by the previous X-ray observation. The shocks may generate cosmic-ray electrons with a steep energy spectrum, which is consistent with non-detection of bright ($>10^{23}$ Watt/Hz) relic in this 16 cm band observation. Based on the assumption of energy equipartition, the upper limit gives the magnetic-field strength below $0.68f(D_{\rm los}/{\rm 1~Mpc})^{-1}(γ_{\rm min}/200)^{-1}$ $μ$G, where $f$ is the cosmic-ray total energy density over the cosmic-ray electron energy density, $D_{\rm los}$ is the depth of the shock wave along the sightline and $γ_{\rm min}$ is the lower cutoff Lorentz factor of the cosmic-ray electron energy spectrum.

description: The Senior Educators Program affords Jewish studies educators from Jewish day schools and communal organizations the rare opportunity to participate in a year-long professional development program in Israel. The program takes place at the Melton Centre for Jewish Education in the Diaspora at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. The program is designed in such a way as as to allow participants to develop their own individualized program of study based on core and elective subjects taken from both within Hebrew University and outside institutions. This study followed a group of senior educators (n=14) during their year-long participation in the program. At three key junctures during the program each participant was interviewed with regard to their studies and overall experiences of the program. The interviews were open-ended and in-depth and afforded each participant the opportunity to explore and reflect on the various aspects of the program. Data analysis illustrated a range of teacher professional and personal development including that: the process of formulating one’s own individual learning program was empowering for each participant; learning Hebrew and succeeding in overcoming a language barrier yielded a tremendous sense of pride and achievement; living in Israel afforded each senior educator the opportunity to contemplate the existential questions facing Jewish people and consider the nature of Jewish education in their home communities; and, offering midcareer teachers an opportunity to break from the daily grind of work led to personal growth and professional renewal. The interviews revealed that one of the most beneficial aspects of the Senior Educators’ Program was that it afforded each participant the time and place to fully immerse themselves in reflective process from which they learnt more about themselves, their work and their approach to teaching and learning. Israel was the backdrop for a transformational process that each of the senior educators experienced in their own individual and profound way.
A sideways look at faithfulness for quantum correlations

description: Despite attempts to apply the lessons of causal modelling to the observed correlations typical of entangled bipartite quantum systems, Wood and Spekkens argue that any causal model purporting to explain these correlations must be fine tuned; that is, it must violate the assumption of faithfulness. The faithfulness assumption is a principle of parsimony, and the intuition behind it is basic and compelling: when no statistical correlation exists between the occurrences of a pair of events, we have no reason for supposing there to be a causal connection between them. This paper is an attempt to undermine the reasonableness of the assumption of faithfulness in the quantum context. Employing a symmetry relation between an entangled bipartite quantum system and a `sideways' quantum system consisting of a single photon passing sequentially through two polarisers, I argue that Wood and Spekkens' analysis applies equally to this sideways system. If this is correct, then the consequence endorsed by Wood and Spekkens for an ordinary entangled quantum system amounts to a rejection of a causal explanation in the sideways, single photon system, too. Unless rejecting this causal explanation can be sufficiently justified, then it looks as though the sideways system is fine tuned, and so a violation of faithfulness in the ordinary entangled system may be more tolerable than first thought. Thus extending the classical `no fine-tuning' principle of parsimony to the quantum realm may well be too hasty.

description: Most U.S. households have consistent, dependable access to enough food for active, healthy living—they are food secure. However, some households experience food insecurity at times during the year, meaning their access to adequate food is limited by a lack of money and other resources. USDA’s food and nutrition assistance programs aim to increase food security by providing low-income households access to food for a healthful diet, as well as nutrition education. USDA monitors the extent and severity of food insecurity in U.S. households through an annual, nationally representative survey sponsored and analyzed by USDA’s Economic Research Service (ERS). This report presents statistics from the survey that cover household food security, food expenditures, and use of Federal nutrition assistance programs in 2021.

description: More and more schools all around the globe and in Singapore in particular, are pushing the frontiers of learning by harnessing Information Technology (IT) or Information and Communication Technology (ICT) as an essential tool in teaching and learning. One of the important impacts of globalization on education has been the transition of strategies adopted, with the emphasis on and the use of IT or ICT in teaching and in students’ learning. There has been a transformation of the types of lessons, collaborative projects, teaching strategies, and of what constitutes effective teaching and learning with the advent of technologies like Web 2.0. Web 2.0 is a read-and-write Web that facilitates participatory, collaborative, and distributed practices. The term Web 2.0, according to O’Reilly (2005), emphasizes participation and encourages social networking where users are actively involved in contributing and commenting on the information instead of passively reading or receiving information. The focus of this research is a pragmatic exploration of the Web 2.0 comprising blogs, wikis, YouTube and Facebook as illustrative and typical examples of technologies that are used as tools for students’ learning in Singapore. From an exploration of polytechnic students’ opinions and experiences with the use of Web 2.0 as providing tools for learning in Singapore, this thesis hopes to develop a more in-depth understanding of the characteristics integral to pedagogical practice and how students leverage on Web 2.0 as a set of tools for learning of worldwide knowledge with peers, classmates and others. The theoretical framework of this thesis is the social constructivist approach (Vygotsky, 1978) and the Communities of Practice, or CoP, of situated learning theory (Lave & Wenger, 1991). Using a mixed methods approach, by interpretation of quantitative data through a survey followed by a qualitative approach of one-on-one semi-structured interviews with polytechnic students in Singapore, the data reveal that students are connected socially for networking and for fun with Web 2.0 applications. Students are empowered learners using Web 2.0 as an information resource and they are connected in the collaborative construction of knowledge. Students are also connected with a community of learners with a community of interest and there is a preference for teachers to use Web 2.0 to enhance students’ learning. The problems of distractions, information overload and unreliable information are associated with using Web 2.0 for learning. The findings are potentially useful to policy makers and educators as this thesis provides insights into the use of Web 2.0 as a set of tools for learning to shape the education of a digital generation in this globalized millennium.
