DRAG COEFFICIENT STUDY OF TWO WALL-MOUNTED OBSTACLES
Creators: name: Ramekar, Ana
Publisher: name: Digital Repository at the University of Maryland
Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: Aerospace engineering

description: In order to support various intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance (ISR) missions, aircraft often undergo structural changes that affect the aircraft’s aerodynamics. A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) study was performed to understand changes to the drag coefficient when two wall-mounted obstacles, representative of common ISR modifications, are positioned in a tandem configuration and exposed to fully subsonic flow. The size, shape and position of the two obstacles is varied. The CFD study used three-dimensional, steady-state, compressible, Reynolds Averaged Navier Stokes equations.

The study reported four major results. First, interference effects increase the drag of the trailing obstacle up to 45% and decreases the drag of the leading obstacle up to 27%. Second, the interference effects on both obstacles produces a 12% reduction in drag for low Mach number and a 37% increase in drag for higher Mach numbers. Third, trailing obstacles of large size help reduce the drag of the leading obstacle of a smaller size. Lastly, the region where interference effects occur becomes smaller if the fineness ratio of the trailing obstacle increases.

description: The mechano-response of highly loaded tissues such as bones or tendons is well investigated, but knowledge regarding the mechano-responsiveness of adjacent tissues such as the subacromial bursa is missing. For a better understanding of the physiological role of the bursa as a friction-reducing structure in the joint, the study aimed to analyze whether and how bursa-derived cells respond to physiological and pathological mechanical loading. This might help to overcome some of the controversies in the field regarding the role of the bursa in the development and healing of shoulder pathologies. Cells of six donors seeded on collagen-coated silicon dishes were stimulated over 3 days for 1 or 4 h with 1, 5, or 10% strain. Orientation of the actin cytoskeleton, YAP nuclear translocation, and activation of non-muscle myosin II (NMM-II) were evaluated for 4 h stimulations to get a deeper insight into mechano-transduction processes. To investigate the potential of bursa-derived cells to adapt their matrix formation and remodeling according to mechanical loading, outcome measures included cell viability, gene expression of extracellular matrix and remodeling markers, and protein secretions. The orientation angle of the actin cytoskeleton increased toward a more perpendicular direction with increased loading and lowest variations for the 5% loading group. With 10% tension load, cells were visibly stressed, indicated by loss in actin density and slightly reduced cell viability. A significantly increased YAP nuclear translocation occurred for the 1% loading group with a similar trend for the 5% group. NMM-II activation was weak for all stimulation conditions. On the gene expression level, only the expression of TIMP2 was down-regulated in the 1 h group compared to control. On the protein level, collagen type I and MMP2 increased with higher/longer straining, respectively, whereas TIMP1 secretion was reduced, resulting in an MMP/TIMP imbalance. In conclusion, this study documents for the first time a clear mechano-responsiveness in bursa-derived cells with activation of mechano-transduction pathways and thus hint to a physiological function of mechanical loading in bursa-derived cells. This study represents the basis for further investigations, which might lead to improved treatment options of subacromial bursa-related pathologies in the future.
Safety risk in aircraft structural joints associated with the use of corrosion treatment
Creators: name: Jaya, Aditya
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: The aim of this research is to investigate the effect of Corrosion Inhibiting Compounds (CICs) on the fatigue performance of riveted lap joints typically used in General Aviation (GA) aircraft. Extensive experience with the airlines and military has shown that CICs are able to provide substantial benefits for corrosion protection. But, with the CICs containing lubricating properties, it could create a risk that the structural fatigue life of joints could be affected by their use, and that cracking may occur in unanticipated time and locations. In this research, experimental works were conducted to identify the effect of CICs on fatigue life and failure modes of riveted lap joints. In addition, Finite Element analysis was employed to validate the mechanical response observed in the experiments of the joints treated and untreated with CICs. The outcomes were then used to identify the potential impact of using CICs on GA sector, an aging aviation sector with under-developed corrosion management programs, and a series of safety recommendations are proposed.

Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: Australia in the early 50s followed a decade or so of frenzy activities in the visual arts. This resurgence of Australian art which led to its recognition in the UK and the United States also brought about a renewed recognition in the quality of domestic architecture. New boundaries in the design of the Australian home were being redefined, both in theory as well as in practice.

Although the decades between the two Great Wars saw the importation of such influences as the Californian Bungalow and Art Deco styles (shades of Dudok, Mendelsohn etc.), it was during the post-war years that the term organic architecture that was much discussed by a wide range of practitioners of the time.

This research aims to trace the journey of organic architecture from its origin to Australia and provide some insight into the workings of those who claimed to have practiced it.

description: An increasingly popular form of open innovation in the digital age is ‘making,’ where users innovate across multiple disciplines and make products that meet their needs, using mechanical, electronic, and digital components. These users have at their disposal, a wide solution space for innovation through various modular toolkits enabled by digital‐age technologies. This study explores and outlines how these users simplify this wide solution space to innovate and make tangible products. Following a modularity theory perspective, it draws on case studies of users and their innovations: (1) Users with initial prototype product designs based on the Internet of things (IoT) from a maker event and (2) users with established product designs from the online community platform Thingiverse. The studies found that users reused the design in the form of existing off‐the‐shelf products and utilized digital fabrication and low‐cost electronics hardware as a ‘glue’ to create physical and informational interfaces wherever needed, enabling bottom‐up modularity. They iteratively refined their innovations, gradually replacing re‐used designs with own integrated designs, reducing modularity, and reducing wastage. The study contributes to open innovation and modularity with implications on the design of products and toolkits enabled by the digital age.

subject: Design

description: This PhD is a reflection upon an architectural practice developed over twelve years, incorporating architectural design, teaching and writing. The practice consists of a variety of projects ranging from full-scale architectural interventions to speculative urban proposals, and includes individually authored work alongside collaborations with an international network of practitioners and academics. Addressing this constellation of projects and approaches, the reflective process of this PhD served to identify two primary conceptual domains and drivers of the work: contemporary industrial manufacturing and urban transformation. The culmination of the research models a vehicle for future practice situated between these domains, predicated strongly on methods of prototyping and strategic incentivisation in the urban realm. A core agenda of the work is a predilection for, and prioritisation of, incompleteness in architectural design, structures of professional practice and urbanism.

The research, presented through a written document and exhibition, is structured in five parts:
1. Staging Practices: case studies in how experimental design practices inform and redefine professional ones. 2. Industrial Practices: experiments with materials and methods of manufacturing in architectural work. 3. Urban Practices: documenting qualities of urbanism between phases of industrial or economic change. 4. Networked Practices: architectural experiments between manufacturing and urbanism. 5. Modelling a Future Practice: a platform for collaborative architectural practice at the intersection of urban/economic and industrial/material concerns.

A journey with Woolum Bellum Koorie Open Door Education (KODE) school: its life cycle in meeting the educational needs of Aboriginal children
Creators: name: Paton, Doris
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: Woolum Bellum KODE (Koorie Open Door Education) School is located at Morwell in the Latrobe Valley of Victoria. The school is unique in that its curriculum is centred on the Gunnai/Kurnai language and culture of the traditional owners. The aim of this thesis is to describe and tell the history of Woolum Bellum School. My research questions are: 1. what led to the establishment of the Woolum Bellum KODE School? What are the critical success factors of the school attaining autonomy within the Victorian State Education system?

The story of Woolum Bellum and its journey is important in the context of sharing knowledge. It exemplifies how a school like Woolum Bellum can be autonomous and how it presents a challenge as it comes to terms with what works and why. As a community we can assess the overall success of the school in terms of outcomes for the community. The benefits are seen in the generation of young people who attended the school over the past fifteen years. Their experience of schooling at Woolum Bellum as opposed to their experiences in the mainstream system amounts to significant successes.

My ways of knowing have informed how I have used a method of research that respects my knowledge gifted from my Elders and Ancestors. My indigenous ways respected in using Dadirri as a methodology for narrative inquiry in research underpins and informs respect for honouring an indigenous paradigm; with tools within that paradigm to guide and shape my research. My cultural ways of knowing, my guidance in reciprocal and respectful relationships, talking together in circles, telling stories in conversations, and understanding community are at the core of these ways of knowing.

My quilts crafted with multiple layers of knowledge offer the community a visual representation of the journey. They share the narrative and knowledge in conversations and in stories. They are relational and interrelated and they interpret the issues from my ways of knowing.

This is a story I have shared with others already who believed in the possibilities for a Woolum Bellum School. Like me, they welcomed the challenges, the responsibilities that came with it to our community and Elders. And like me, the community held on to the dream that time and through listening, through learning and with knowledge, the possibility remains.

description: Rice markets in the Philippines recently experienced various policy shocks, including the implementation of the Rice Tariffication Law (RTL) in March 2019, and the imposition of price freeze during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, and mandated ceiling prices on milled rice in September 2023. This study aims to examine the spatial price transmission of regular milled rice across 17 regional retail markets. By analyzing monthly price data from January 2012 to December 2023, the study seeks to describe structural breaks in price series, assess the speed and magnitude of price adjustments, determine the nature and direction of price transmissions, and identify factors influencing spatial price transmissions. Various analytical techniques, such as descriptive analysis, unit root and structural break tests, Toda-Yamamoto causality tests, and the autoregressive distributed lag technique, are employed to analyze the price series. The findings reveal significant positive and negative structural breaks. Both Central Luzon, the top producer of paddy rice, and Eastern Visayas, the main consumer of regular milled rice, serve as reference markets. The National Capital Region also functions as a central market. The speed of price adjustments ranges from 1.18 to 3.60 months, while asymmetric price transmission is observed in two out of four spatially integrated regional markets. Cagayan Valley exhibits almost one-to-one price transmission, whereas the other reference markets have an elasticity of price transmission of less than 0.80. The study recommends monitoring prices, disseminating market information, investigating unfair trade practices, improving NFA inventory management, and developing targeted price and market policy measures.

description: Untersuchungsgegenstand der vorliegenden Arbeit ist die Gratis-Wochenzeitung „Bezirksrundschau“ aus Oberösterreich, welche einen besonderen Stellenwert hinsichtlich ihrer Entstehungsgeschichte in der österreichischen Medienlandschaft einnimmt. Die Vorgängerzeitung der Bezirksrundschau ist die „Kremstaler Rundschau“, eine Kaufzeitung mit lokalem Erscheinungsgebiet. Nach der Übernahme der Rundschau durch die Tiroler Verlagsgruppe Moser Holding im November 2008 wurde das Konzept der Kremstaler Rundschau total umgestellt, daraus entstand die nun per Post gratis verteilte Bezirksrundschau. Im Mittelpunkt der Untersuchung steht die Frage, wie diese Umstellung einer Kaufzeitung auf ein Gratismedium vom Publikum beurteilt wird. Wie wirkt sich diese Veränderung auf die LeserInnen-Blatt-Bindung aus? Wird die Bezirksrundschau nun als weniger qualitativ bewertet? Um diese Fragen zu beantworten, wurden mittels der Methode des lauten Denkens Gespräche mit 14 LeserInnen der Bezirksrundschau geführt. Als ProbandInnen wurden Personen im Alter zwischen 40 und 49 Jahren gewählt, da bei dieser Altersgruppe die Reichweite der Oberösterreichischen Rundschau am höchsten war. Ausgewertet wurden die Ergebnisse anschließend mit der dokumentarischen Methode von Ralf Bohnsack. Festgestellt kann werden, dass sich die LeserInnen-Blatt-Bindung durch die Umstellung der Erscheinungsweise negativ verändert hat. Lediglich sechs der befragten Personen würden die Bezirksrundschau vermissen, wenn sie nicht mehr erscheinen würde. Besonders negativ bewertet wurde die Qualität: Im Vergleich zur Kremstaler Rundschau seien die Berichte kürzer und weniger ausführlich, auch die sehr beliebte lokale Berichterstattung nimmt einen kleineren Umfang ein. Die Menge der Werbung wird ebenso als störend empfunden, die darin enthaltenen Informationen werden kaum nachgefragt.
The construction of problem-tailored basis functions for modeling anisotropic quantum wire structures
Creators: name: Smith, Andrew
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: Due to the continuous reduction in feature size of electronic devices, quantum mechanical effects play a pivotal role in device characteristics today. In modeling the quantum mechanical phenomena in small-scale electronic devices, the fundamental building blocks that makeup the model for these devices are quantum wires and quantum dots. By solving the Schroedinger equation, subject to device specifications and constraints, the underlying physical properties can be calculated numerically to a desired accuracy. Only a few canonical problems exist that can be solved in closed-form, rendering the determination of the solutions to the Schroedinger equation a most challenging task for any realistic model. In this thesis, a new modeling technique has been introduced to solve the Schroedinger equation for quantum wire structures, including the inhomogeneous and anisotropic effective mass phenomenon. The proposed technique is based on Galerkin's method. In contrast to existing techniques, the proposed method utilizes the eigensolutions associated with a hierarchy of auxiliary problems, as the analysing and synthesizing functions, to tackle the original Schroedinger equation. By utilizing problem-specific basis functions, the effectiveness of the proposed technique is shown by significantly reducing the number of required basis functions for achieving convergent solutions. The proposed technique has been applied to common isotropic and anisotropic quantum wire structures. It is shown how the decomposition of the potential function, defining the Hamiltonian in the Schroedinger equation, allows the design of a number of independent lower-dimensional auxiliary problems, which can be solved with comparatively less computational resources. The obtained solutions are then employed to solve the problem of interest. Using this method, a laterally confined periodic quantum wire model is considered, and the influence of the effective mass tensor on the Brillouin energy dispersion diagram is investigated. To validate the proposed method, several carefully chosen examples have been analyzed for determining the quantum mechanical effects in quantum wire structures. The energy eigenvalues for GaAs/Ga0.63Al0.37As and Ga0.47In0.53As/InP single quantum wire structures have been calculated and compared with existing calculated eigenvalues in literature. An energy dispersion diagram for a periodic array of GaAs/Ga0.63Al0.37As quantum wires has also been calculated and compared against an energy dispersion diagram given in literature. Excellent agreement has been achieved.
Dissecting the indigo pathway
Creators: name: Daykin, Timothy
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: Indigo is a vibrant blue pigment synthesised by plants and bacteria. This study examined the mechanisms by which plants generate indole, an intermediate common to both the indigo and tryptophan biosynthetic pathways. Cleavage of Indole-3-glycerol phosphate (I3GP) by the tryptophan synthase (TS) αβ enzyme complex forms indole for subsequent tryptophan biosynthesis. Specifically, indole synthesis is catalysed by the TSα sub-unit, encoded by the trpA gene, leading to this sub-unit being described as an ‘indole synthase’. Typically, TSα sub-units only catalyse indole synthesis when bound to a specific TSβ sub-unit counterpart. However, there does exist in plants enzymes capable of catalysing indole synthesis independently. In Zea mays, there is an indole synthase (IS) enzyme ten times more efficient than the TSαβ enzyme complex at catalysing indole biosynthesis from I3GP.

When the maize indole synthase gene was expressed in a TSα deficient E. coli strain it complemented the trpA mutation, indicating that the enzyme encoded by this gene produced indole as an intermediate in tryptophan biosynthesis in the absence of a plant specific TSβ sub-unit. The removal of tryptophanase activity by targeted mutagenesis in a host E. coli strain eliminated the alternative route for tryptophan biosynthesis from indole. Complementation by the Z. mays IS of the trpA mutation suggests that the IS forms a functional enzyme complex with an E. coli TSβ sub-unit.

A Polygonum tinctorium cDNA library was screened via hybridisation with the Z. mays IS gene and by functional analysis. The unsuccessful hybridisation suggested the absence of a gene homologous to the maize IS gene within P. tinctorium, whilst failure of the cDNA library to rescue the E. coli trpA mutant strain indicated the non-existance of a functional clone.

Students learning by design
Creators: name: Suominen, Keiju
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: The Students Learning by Design study explores how Learning by Design theory applied in contemporary classrooms addresses the needs of learners in a rapidly changing technological and socio-cultural environment. Its starting point is a detailed examination of this changing environment of new knowledge workplaces and social spaces including virtual spaces to determine the nature of the changes to which education must respond. A careful analysis of a range of views on these changes and their impact on schools provide both cautionary and optimistic visions of the future for our students and teachers. The study locates Learning by Design within this contested ground of new learning and the analysis of these varied perspectives reveals commonalities and differences in responses to the changing technological and socio-cultural environment.

The study then proceeds to explore how Learning by Design theory translates into practice within several primary school classrooms in the Australian Capital Territory focussing on its impact on students’ learning experiences. The students within these classrooms are the major data source providing rich qualitative data on their perspectives on learning in classrooms where teachers use the eight knowledge processes of the Learning by Design planning framework. The data is examined using a triple lens analysis that incorporates these eight knowledge processes, the features of contemporary social spaces identified from the literature and student performance data supplied by their classroom teachers. In this way, the study is able to address the impact of Learning by Design on individual learners as well as to extrapolate its potential for addressing the needs of contemporary learners as a whole in a rapidly changing technological and socio-cultural environment.

In the light of this analysis, the study examines the implications of Learning by Design theory and practice for students, teachers and administrators. The changing role of teachers and students is highlighted along with practical considerations and limitations that may impact on the wider implementation of this approach to learning. The future of Learning by Design in our schools is left open to further exploration and the competing visions of what constitutes new learning for new times.
Schumpeter's Bahnbrechen considered in the light of Native Title Legislation and Indigenous entrepreneurship
Creators: name: Kelleher, Leonie
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: In Australia, the Native Title Act 1993 (NTAct) dramatically altered the business and property environment, constituting a Bahnbrechen or transformative regulatory change which created the benefit of native title recognition for Aboriginals. This Study provides an account of NTAct’s operation and many negative elements, along with its intriguingly positive impact upon entrepreneurial opportunity. It shows that the simple fact of the chaotic setting of a transformative regulatory change shakes things up in a way that impacts upon entrepreneurial opportunity, even while its policies are anti-entrepreneurial and disempowering.

description: Fast täglich deuten Pressemeldungen auf eine Ausweitung der Zeitungskrise hin. Als Hauptgrund werden dabei in erster Linie stagnierende Werbeeinnahmen genannt, die auf eine zunehmende Abwanderung von Werbekunden in den Onlinebereich zurückgeführt werden. Focus, eines der führenden Research & Consulting Unternehmen, das die jährlichen Werbebilanzen ermittelt, bestätigt diesen Trend. Unterlag das Werbeaufkommen bis zum Jahr 2008 noch einem generellen Aufwärtstrend, so ist im Jahr 2009 in Summe bereits jetzt ein Rückgang von 3,6 Prozent zu verzeichnen. Österreichische Tageszeitungen verbuchen dabei eine Stagnation von 2,2 Prozent, wohingegen Onlinemedien nach laufend hohen Zuwächsen auch heuer ein bisheriges Plus von 28,4 Prozent verzeichnen konnten. Wie wichtig Werbung für die Existenz von Zeitungen ist, verdeutlich der meist weit über 50 Prozent liegende Anteil an Fremdfinanzierung, durch das Werbe- und Anzeigenaufkommen. Die Betrachtung des Zusammenspiels von redaktionellen Beiträgen, Werbung und anderen finanzierenden Einschaltungen wie redaktionellen Werbe- oder PR-Anzeigen, Kleinanzeigen sowie Stellenausschreibungen steht im Mittelpunkt dieser Arbeit. Auf Basis systemtheoretischer Überlegungen erfolgt eine Untersuchung aus zweierlei Perspektiven: Einerseits greift Werbung und vor allem PR als Informationslieferant ins strukturelle Gefüge des Journalismus ein, um so die Effizienz seiner Arbeitsweise zu steigern. Andererseits dienen finanzierende Anteile aber auch als direkte Einnahmequelle für Zeitungen und garantieren durch den „Ankauf“ von Zeitungsfläche das Überleben eines Blattes. Die vorliegende Arbeit behandelt in einem ersten Teil theoretische Grundlagen, die im darauf aufbauenden empirischen Teil als Basis einer quantitativen Inhaltsanalyse dienen. Die primäre Fragestellung bezieht sich dabei auf die Veränderungen, der die Zeitung finanzierenden Anteile, während des Aufschwungs von Onlinemedien. Bei der Untersuchung werden die einzelnen finanzierenden Elemente klassische Werbung, redaktionelle Werbung, redaktionelle PR und das Anzeigenwesen vermessen - und in Verbindung zueinander gesetzt. Zum Analysezweck erfolgt eine Längsschnittbetrachtung der Jahre 2000, 2002, 2004, 2006, 2008 und 2009, wodurch strukturelle Veränderungen ersichtlich gemacht werden. Zur Analyse herangezogen werden die beiden Tageszeitungen „Die Presse“ und die „Kronen Zeitung“, da sie unterschiedliche Leserkreise ansprechen und somit auch differente Werbezielgruppen einbeziehen. Das Ergebnis verweist auf keine tendenzielle Abnahme der finanzierenden Zeitungsinhalte. Final zeigen sich bei den analysierten Medien auffallende Unterschiede, im Verhältnis der einzelnen Werbe- und Anzeigentypen.

In this context, we have reviewed official documents and the literature of power systems to address the problems caused by distributed energy resources (DER) and the solutions proposed to solve these issues. The increasing diffusion of DERs in the distribution networks can change power flows, which eventually leads to operational issues, i.e., odd voltage profiles, overloaded components, decreased short circuit power and incorrect operation of protection systems. Therefore, from the DSO perspective, it is extremely important to estimate the available capacity of electrical networks or the so-called distribution grid hosting capacity.
Pacific Island Leaders' Addresses to the 2020 UN General Assembly in the Context of Big Power Competition Part Two: Special Concerns and Implications

description: This In Brief is the second in a two-part series on the Pacific Island leaders’ speeches delivered at the 75th session of the United Nations (UN) General Assembly in September 2020. While the first paper focused on Pacific leaders’ shared concerns, part two examines the special concerns raised by some Pacific Island countries (PICs) and their relevance to regional geopolitics. In particular, this analysis will focus on China-related issues in the context of growing geopolitical competition between traditional world powers and China, including the US–China rivalry, China–Taiwan competition and the reform of the UN Security Council (UNSC).

title: Stereotypisierung in Boulevard- und Qualitätsmedien
Creators: name: Schweigl, Veronika
Year: 2009

description: Die vorliegende Diplomarbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Stereotypisierung von race und gender in Qualitäts- und Boulevardmedien. Ausgangspunkt ist die Überlegung, dass die zunehmende Boulevardisierung der politischen Berichterstattung zu einer verstärkten Stereotypisierung von Politikern und Politikerinnen führt. Durch Trivialisierung, Personalisierung und Emotionalisierung des Mediendiskurses rücken politische Sachthemen in den Hintergrund und begünstigen eine Personendarstellung anhand von stereotypen Eigenschaften und konventionellen Rollenbildern. Dieser Annahme steht jedoch Margreth Lünenborgs These gegenüber, die in der Boulevardisierung der Berichterstattung ein Potenzial erkennt, die gängige Geschlechterordnung zu durchbrechen. Sie geht davon aus, dass es durch die verstärkte Medienpräsenz von Frauen und das Aufgreifen neuer Themen zu einer Grenzverschiebung der traditionellen Geschlechterstrukturen kommt. Inwiefern die Boulevardisierung der Berichterstattung zu einer Verstärkung oder einem Durchbrechen von Geschlechterstereotypen beitragen kann und inwieweit dies auf ethnische Stereotype anwendbar ist, wurde am Beispiel des US-Vorwahlkampfes 2008 untersucht. Im Mittelpunkt des Interesses stand dabei die Frage: Wie unterscheiden sich Boulevard- und Qualitätsmedien in der Repräsentation von Ethnie und Geschlecht? Gibt es eine stereotype Darstellung von race und gender in der Berichterstattung über Hillary Clinton und Barack Obama im US-Vorwahlkampf 2008? Oder konnte infolge der Boulevardisierung der Medien eine Verringerung der stereotypen Darstellungen erreicht werden? Untersucht wurde diese Frage mittels einer vergleichenden Inhaltsanalyse der Berichterstattung über den US-Vorwahlkampf in der österreichischen Boulevardtageszeitung “Die Neue Kronen Zeitung“ und der österreichischen Qualitätstageszeitung „Der Standard“. Die Schwerpunkte der Untersuchung richteten sich auf eine Analyse der Medienpräsenz und der Personendarstellung sowie des Kontexts und der medialen Bewertung. Die Resultate der Untersuchung zeigen, dass die Boulevardisierung der politischen Berichterstattung zwar zu einer erhöhten Medienpräsenz von Frauen und zu einer Verschiebung der traditionellen Ordnung von race und gender führt. Ein Durchbrechen von ethnischen und geschlechtlichen Stereotypen wurde jedoch durch die Boulevardisierung des Mediendiskurses kaum beobachtet.
Lusim Hanmak: Why Women Candidates in Papua New Guinea Need to Start Early
Creators: name: Meki, Theresa
Publisher: name: Canberra, ACT: Dept. of Pacific Affairs, Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies, The Australian National University
Year: 2020

description: As of October 2020, the next national elections in Papua New Guinea (PNG) are due in less than two years. Among Papua New Guineans, it is common practice for intending candidates to do their groundwork, known locally as ‘doing awareness’ or lusim hanmak, months before the official election period. Hanmak, in the context of electoral campaigning, refers to community development projects or meeting traditional obligations in one’s society. Voters use it as part of their process of determining if a candidate is serious or has credibility.
Futureportrait: a constructed glimpse of tomorrow
Creators: name: Kozka, Bronek
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: Future Portrait looks at the future. Using portraiture as a window it will examine the aesthetics, the technologies and the people of the future. Portraiture is an ideal vehicle for this exploration because it allows us an individual and personal connection with the sitters, giving us insight into their world and existence. Portraiture’s many diverse styles (formal, street, environmental) are considered as portals to ‘what may be’. My main goal for this project has been to create a body of work that visually explores the ideas, concepts and thoughts explored in imagery from the realm of Japanese art and culture, the West’s perception of Japan, and both Eastern and Western science fiction visions of futuristic dystopia.

Constructed carefully in studio spaces and highly lit locations, my photographs become ‘home’ to a cast of actors and models who act out a series of stories created from story boards. Images made in contemporary Japan and blended with studio constructions to build a new vision. Through these elaborate tableaux photographs, I am interested in exploring a my vision of a possible future. From a man and his manga styled “tamagotchi” girlfriend driving in a car, to a typical street scene of a Blade Runner inspired noodle bar or scene from a suburban train, Future Portrait aims to give a glimpse in to tomorrow.
