The Law’s Gender
Creators: name: De Mel, Neloufer
name: Samararatne, Dinesha
Publisher: name: On_Culture
Year: 2017

description: The essay examines the recursions, rationalities, limits, and promise of the law drawing on three recent cases of women who encountered law enforcement authorities at courts in Sri Lanka. It provides a strong account of how dominant gender norms are mobilized to determine who is afforded the sanctuary of the law and who is not. By foregrounding the troubled encounters of the women with the law the essay also demonstrates the ways in which the law, culture, and the state combine, pull apart, and recombine in a manner that draws attention to their own internal relations; and how procedures established to ensure legal objectivity and judicial impartiality often fold back on themselves, reflecting the pliancy of the law. The essay also foregrounds the conditions of possibility, including feminist legal methodologies, that enable women to (re)turn to the law despite its transgressions. In doing so it argues for seeing the law as multilayered and recursive, reflecting the thick and uneven conditions under which women access justice in Sri Lanka. In highlighting how these women challenge and bargain with the law, the essay also acknowledges their tenacity and endurance in what, ultimately, is an effort at demanding an improved and substantive justice.

description: The attacks on the Charlie Hebdo magazine and Kosher supermarket in Paris in January 2015, as well as the announcement of a ‘Caliphate’ by radical Islamists of the so-called ‘Islamic State in Iraq and Syria’ (ISIS) in 2014, reignited political and academic interest in the possible appeal of radical Islamism among young Muslims living in Western Europe. This analysis expands existing knowledge by adding a large-n, cross-national comparison to the small-n or single-case-study approaches dominating research on European Muslims over the last two decades. Moving beyond examination of the interaction between European governments and groups claiming to represent European Muslims, this analysis takes into account the individualisation of Muslim religious discourses, practices and identities. Binary logistic regression analyses challenge conventional wisdom which emphasises discrimination and rejection of Western foreign policies in the explanation of political radicalism. Instead, religious guidance and socio-economic status emerge as consistent correlates of political and social attitudes among West European Muslims. These findings not only add to a growing body of literature providing empirical evidence for the political impact of religious elites, they also have crucial policy implications for West European governments working to maintain national security and social cohesion.
Bypassing the Law in a Homeless Vehicle
Creators: name: Schniedermann, Wibke
Publisher: name: On_Culture
Year: 2017

description: In The Lady in the Van, British playwright Alan Bennett recounts his two-decade acquaintance with a homeless woman who ended up living in a van in his driveway for 15 years. The story has gone through several incarnations, from Bennett’s diary entries (published 1989) to a stage play (1999) and a film adaptation (2015). Subverting and disabling the law and its institutions with the help of a vehicle is a key theme in all these versions of the story. Laws regulating the activities have notoriously criminalized poverty and excluded the poor from social and economic participation. This essay discusses how Bennett’s narrative and its adaptations expose and question the heteronormative, bourgeois-centric practices of anti-homeless laws via a disruption of dominant tropes of poverty and homelessness. The texts also grapple with the practical conflicts around invasion of personal space that are inevitable results of sharing space with a physically and mentally unstable person. A specific focus will be on the fluidity of the division between public and private spaces that requires constant negotiation.

description: Introduction: Restraint systems (seat belts and airbags) are important tools that improve vehicle occupant safety during motor vehicle crashes (MVCs). We aimed to identify the pattern and impact of the utilization of passenger restraint systems on the outcomes of MVC victims in Qatar. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted for all admitted patients who sustained MVC-related injuries between March 2011 and March 2014 inclusive. Results: Out of 2,730 road traffic injury cases, 1,830 (67%) sustained MVC-related injuries, of whom 88% were young males, 70% were expatriates, and 53% were drivers. The use of seat belts and airbags was documented in 26 and 2.5% of cases, respectively. Unrestrained passengers had greater injury severity scores, longer hospital stays, and higher rates of pneumonia and mortality compared to restrained passengers (P = .001 for all). There were 311 (17%) ejected cases. Seat belt use was significantly lower and the mortality rate was 3-fold higher in the ejected group compared to the nonejected group (P = .001). The overall mortality was 8.3%. On multivariate regression analysis, predictors of not using a seat belt were being a front seat passenger, driver, or Qatari national and young age. Unrestrained males had a 3-fold increase in mortality in comparison to unrestrained females. The risk of severe injury (relative risk [RR] = 1.82, 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.49–2.26, P = .001) and death (RR = 4.13, 95% CI, 2.31–7.38, P = .001) was significantly greater among unrestrained passengers. Conclusion: The nonuse of seat belts is associated with worse outcomes during MVCs in Qatar. Our study highlights the lower rate of seat belt compliance in young car occupants that results in more severe injuries, longer hospital stays, and higher mortality rates. Therefore, we recommend more effective seat belt awareness and education campaigns, the enforcement of current seat belt laws, their extension to all vehicle occupants, and the adoption of proven interventions that will assure sustained behavioral changes toward improvements in seat belt use in Qatar.
Empirical models for dark matter halos. I. Nonparametric construction of density profiles and comparison with parametric models

description: We use techniques from nonparametric function estimation theory to extract the density profiles, and their derivatives, from a set of N-body dark matter halos. We consider halos generated from ΛCDM simulations of gravitational clustering, as well as isolated spherical collapses. The logarithmic density slopes γ ≡ d log ρ/d log r of the ΛCDM halos are found to vary as power laws in radius, reaching values of γ ≈ -1 at the innermost resolved radii, ~10-2rvir. This behavior is significantly different from that of broken-power-law models like the Navarro-Frenk-White (NFW) profile but similar to that of models like de Vaucouleurs's. Accordingly, we compare the N-body density profiles with various parametric models to find which provide the best fit. We consider an NFW-like model with arbitrary inner slope; Dehnen & McLaughlin's anisotropic model; Einasto's model (identical in functional form to Sérsic's model but fitted to the space density); and the density model of Prugniel & Simien that was designed to match the deprojected form of Sérsic's R1/n law. Overall, the best-fitting model to the ΛCDM halos is Einasto's, although the Prugniel-Simien and Dehnen-McLaughlin models also perform well. With regard to the spherical-collapse halos, both the Prugniel-Simien and Einasto models describe the density profiles well, with an rms scatter some 4 times smaller than that obtained with either the NFW-like model or the three-parameter Dehnen-McLaughlin model. Finally, we confirm recent claims of a systematic variation in profile shape with halo mass.

The Legal Person and Its Other
Creators: name: Suntrup, Jan Christoph
Publisher: name: On_Culture
Year: 2017

description: “De-humanizing law” calls for a discussion of the concept of the legal person because legal processes of personification have at times gone beyond the anthropocentric bias in legal thinking and the definition of personhood has often brought about de-humanizing results. By scrutinizing various culturally and historically dependent drawings of the boundaries of personification, it shows that the presumed equivalence between legal persons and humans does not hold. This is illustrated through an analysis of legal personification of animals and some recent legal attempts to attribute personality to nature. In contrast, there have always been efforts to deny certain human beings the status of legal persons. Despite becoming more inclusive historically, modern law does not eschew with creating abnormal non-persons to underline the construction of individual/rational attribution and accountability. Defining legal personhood not only implies a differentiation between persons and non-persons, but, especially in the Western world, between persons and things. Whereas bio-political issues have somewhat challenged this division, there are examples showing that in some contexts this division was never made clearly in the first place. Finally, cultural heritage reveals the occidental bias concerning the conception of personhood, namely its link to an individualized image of the ingenious author.

description: Automated seizure detection is important for speeding up epilepsy diagnosis or for controlling an implantable brain stimulator to avert seizures. Various features calculated from the electroencephalogram (EEG) can be used to detect seizures, and combining features can give superior detection performance. This paper investigates the correlation between seizure detection features in order to determine which ones should be combined for the purposes of seizure detection. Combinations of three features involving relative average amplitude, relative scale energy, coefficient of variation of amplitude, relative power, relative gradient and bounded variation tended to show the lowest correlations.

description: Environmental factors have an influence on the chemistry and percentage recovery of volatile oils. Therefore, the chemical composition of Eucalyptus globulus (E. globulus) volatile oil from Botswana was determined. The volatile oil was isolated from the leaves of E. globulus plant by means of the conventional hydrodistillation and ultrasound assisted hydrodistillation at 50 W and 300 W. The extraction method that gave a better recovery of the volatile oil was ultrasound assisted hydrodistillation at 300 W with a yield of 2.50%. The volatile oil obtained by hydrodistillation and ultrasound assisted hydrodistillation at 50 W had comparable recovery yields of 2.24% and 2.20% respectively. Eucalyptol was identified as the major component in the oil. The amount of eucalyptol present in E. globulus volatile oil extracted by ultrasound assisted hydrodistillation (65%) show that the oil has a potential to be explored for therapeutic purposes.
ART eligibility for lesbians and single heterosexual women in Victoria: How medicalisation influenced a political, legal and policy debate
Creators: name: Dempsey, Deborah
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This article analyses the seven year long political, policy and law reform debate over eligibility criteria for assisted reproductive technology (ART), emphasising the ways in which medicalised discourse and assumptions framed the arguments advanced by various stakeholders. It argues that despite the positive political, social justice and health gains for lesbian and gay prospective parents and their children that were ultimately achieved, the case made for the decriminalisation of self-insemination and increased access to clinical ART services also involved some disappointing political and intellectual compromises along the way. Although lesbian activism regarding ART eligibility criteria was often consistent with a position of what could be called 'constructive medicalisation' (Broom and Woodward 1996), the debate also demonstrated how easily constructive medicalisation arguments were side-lined in favour of arguments drawing on dominant medicalised discourses about infertility treatment and risk.

description: At a time in which the corporeality of excluded subjects is prominent in socio-political discourse, this article proposes a critical interdisciplinary reading of the way in which the juridical positioning of the corporeal is designed to obscure the threatening ruptures in the originary body of the law. The sedentarizing anti-nomadic program of removing children and incarcerating them as wards of the state in Switzerland between 1926 and1972 demonstrates a systematic juridical authorization of the attempt to disrupt and excise the ‘diseased’ and ‘degenerate’ body of the Yenish from the ‘ordered’ body of the pure state. Through a close analysis of Mariella Mehr’s novel Stoneage (1990 [1981]), read through a theoretical framework informed by Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari’s work on the “Body without Organs,” Giorgio Agamben’s reading of Primo Levi’s “Muselmann,” and vulnerability theory, this article aims to lay bare the ways in which law is implicated in the process of negating corporeal disorder in the context of a eugenic program conducted against the ‘unlawful’ body.

description: This study aims to examine the factors that influence societal savings habits and pre-retirement well-being. Triggered by the global trend of low personal interest rates, it seeks to illuminate how preparedness for retirement affects the overall quality of life and societal well-being. More specifically, the study pursues three (3) main objectives: 1) to identify the socio-demographic and behavioural elements that shape societal savings habits; 2) to determine the factors that affect individuals’ propensity to save; and 3) to assess the impact of savings behaviours on pre-retirement well-being, focusing on aspects such as happiness, prosperity, health, comfort, and security. We used the Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Model (PLS-SEM) with SMART-PLS to analyse these relationships. The results illustrate significant correlations among financial literacy, savings habits, financial risk tolerance, future time perspectives, retirement savings, and retirement well-being. These findings bolster the study’s conclusions, which are further supported by active survey participation. The research presented in this paper examines the critical intersection of retirement savings, individual well-being, and savings habits. In an era marked by economic uncertainty, understanding how savings habits impact long-term financial security and overall quality of life is of paramount importance. Our study delves into the complex dynamics that influence retirement saving decisions and their implications for individuals, families, and society as a whole. By exploring the relationship between savings habits and well-being indicators such as financial stress, mental health, and overall life satisfaction, we aim to provide insights that can inform policy interventions and financial literacy initiatives. The findings of this research have significant implications for public policy, financial institutions, employers, and individuals alike. By identifying barriers to effective retirement saving and highlighting strategies to promote greater financial resilience, we hope to contribute to the development of policies and programs that support retirement security for all segments of the population. Thank you for considering the public interest implications of our research and for your support in advancing our collective efforts to promote financial well-being and retirement security.

Location-based management of construction projects: Part of a new typology for project scheduling methodologies
Creators: name: Kenley, Russell
name: Seppänen, Olli
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The domain of project scheduling has been treated as various disparate techniques, each competing to be the best method for effective planning and control of projects. Especially, there are many terms used to describe the family of construction scheduling methods which variously involve repetition, linear relationships, vertical or horizontal staging or in some other way map production units against time. This paper considers the underlying rationale behind those terms and proposes a new typology and terminology to encapsulate the entire family of scheduling methods and specifically to differentiate the family of production-oriented methodologies from the more common critical path methodologies. For this purpose the following terms are proposed: activity-based methodologies which may be divided into deterministic and probabilistic, and location-based methodologies which may be divided into unit production and location production. The paper then shows how location production in the location-based methodology involves focusing on locations as the unit of analysis and tasks as the unit of control as the framework for production management.
The Juridical Voice of Literature
Creators: name: Becker, Katrin
Publisher: name: On_Culture
Year: 2017

description: Based on the logic of the Lacanian mirror paradigm, Pierre Legendre claims that every culture needs to create a metaphysical entity of Reference, for the sake of the legitimacy and validity of its normative system. This entity disguises the abyss at the core of culture and legitimates it by staging itself as its origin. The Reference not only authenticates individual and cultural subjectivity, but also becomes the foundation of law. Given that Legendre attributes a fundamental role to aesthetics in the creation of this entity, my essay will identify the role of literature in this respect, arguing that, on the one hand, literary texts help confirming the readers’ attachment to a specific order of Reference, i.e. of normativity and imagery. On the other hand, my essay claims that literature also has the capacity to reflect on the basis of cultural normativity and to unveil the contingency of normative truths. This results from what I call the cultural structures of testimony. Thus literature unleashes emancipatory forces with regard to a culture’s normative system. The essay tests this hypothesis by analysing E.T.A. Hoffmann’s The Sandman, a narrative that because of its play with the categories of fiction and reality is particularly salient.

description: Currently there are various types of thermal spray coatings available for wear and corrosion protection and their performance is greatly dependant on the level of porosity inherent in these coatings. This study focuses on Nickel-based coatings produced by Thermal spray technology followed by Flame or Laser heat treatment to produce a dense, well adhered, and relatively porous free microstructure that enhances corrosion and wear resistance. The results show that heat treatment produces a strong metallurgical bond with the substrate which in turn increased the coating adhesion and reduces porosity. A unique coating adhesion test was developed to measure the high coating strengths and the microstructure and mechanical properties compared with coatings produced without heat treatment. It is believed that laser heat treatment of thermal spray coatings can produce cost effective coatings with enhanced corrosion and wear properties for the manufacturing industry.
Remote Sensing towards Water Quality Study in Malacca River. Case Study: A Review Perspective

Year: 2015
Subjects: Environmental Science

description: Water is among the natural resources that needed by living organisms such as human. Rapid development through human activities leading to the water pollution existed in river, for example Malacca River. Therefore, a literature review has been conducted to identify the effectiveness of using remote sensing towards water quality in Malacca River. Various research studies conducted by scientists and researchers stated that data from the satellite like Landsat, IKONOS, SPOT, IRS, CZCS, and SeaWiFS may be applied in assessing water quality parameters including suspended matter, turbidity, phytoplankton, and dissolved organic matter. The measurement for water quality parameters can be carried out through in-situ measurement, as experimental examination may be done through on-site studies and inside laboratories. Water quality assessment is extremely needed to strengthen the result produced through analysis of remote sensing data to determine the impacts and factors that contributed to the river pollution. As a result, remote sensing data from Landsat, IKONOS, Quickbird and SPOT may be applied to determine water quality parameters such as suspended matter, phytoplankton, turbidity, dissolved organic matter, and other parameters in the Malacca River. As conclusion, remote sensing has become a tool in monitoring and solving water quality issues, serving as a basis for management activities and planning activities in terms of river water quality.
The form of the asymptotic depth-limited wind wave frequency spectrum

name: Babanin, Alexander
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This paper presents a comprehensive set of field experiments investigating the form of the asymptotic, depth-limited wind wave frequency spectrum. Such a spectrum represents the upper limit to growth from active wind forcing in finite depth conditions. The data clearly define asymptotic limits for the nondimensional energy and nondimensional wave number as functions of nondimensional water depth. In contrast to deep water spectra, the asymptotic depth-limited form has a harmonic at a frequency slightly less than twice the spectral peak frequency. A parametric form is proposed for the spectral form, and clear functional relationships are found for all the spectral parameters. These relationships mean that the full asymptotic, depth-limited spectrum can be determined with knowledge of only the water depth and wind speed.

description: Vulnerability studies need to consider changes in the ecological and the social system as well as their interactions. Yet, the link between ecosystem services and the wellbeing of different social groups represents a deficit in research. The presented case study attempts to create a deepened understanding of the social–ecological system as a basis for vulnerability assessment. For this purpose, participatory mapping of cultural ecosystem services (CES) and perceived vulnerability in the urban region of Rostock (Germany) were conducted. A comprehensive approach was developed including the spatial distribution of CES in the urban region, the interrelations between the supply and demand of CES (considering different social factors and the spatial link), as well as an exemplary vulnerability assessment. The case study showed that an application of the participatory mapping approach is valuable in a wide urban region. The evaluation of the link between population wellbeing and CES suggested no differences according to social factors. Concerning the spatial link, different critical distances for individual CES were found. An integrated map of supply and demand was developed showing the supply of districts with CES area, number, and diversity. The final exemplary vulnerability assessment visualized potential changes in CES supply areas and affected districts in the urban region.

description: Freshwater is needed by all living creatures. Freshwater is used for various activities such as drinking, bathing, washing, and so on, while providing various benefits to living beings for activities and benefits such as habitats, shelter, breeding, and so on. However, rapid development has caused contamination towards water resource in the river, which could bring various problems to affect and harm the quality of living species. Hence, a new approach is required to stop the pollution. This research study has been carried out to indicate the effectiveness of application of policy study regarding water resources in the Malacca River, which is concentrated on quantitative method through questionnaire. The questionnaire has been divided into two parts. Part A includes a demographic profile, and part B includes a policy study of water resources in the Malacca River. Meanwhile, 400 respondents are targeted randomly for sample size and only focused to Malacca citizen who live near the Malacca River. Correlation analysis showed that the majority of respondents strongly agreed with the policy study (Green Technology Program Malaysia Malacca; No Plastic Bag Program, No Plastic Product Program, and Recycle Program; Cleaning Our River Program and Love Our River Program; Save Water Program, Rainwater Collection Program and Recycle Water Program) to apply in daily life to protect the water resource in Malacca River. Respondents also believed that people should feel responsibility to preserve and conserve the environment before it is destroyed and disappears forever.

description: We present two new modifications of the second-order polarization propagator approximation (SOPPA), SOPPA(SCS-MP2) and SOPPA(SOS-MP2), which employ either spin-component-scaled or scaled opposite-spin MP2 correlation coefficients instead of the regular MP2 coefficients. The performance of these two methods, the original SOPPA method as well as SOPPA(CCSD) and RPA(D) in the calculation of vertical electronic excitation energies and oscillator strengths is investigated for a large benchmark set of 28 medium-sized molecules with 139 singlet and 71 triplet excited states. The results are compared with the corresponding CC3 and CASPT2 results from the literature for both the TZVP set and the larger and more diffuse aug-cc-pVTZ basis set. In addition, the results with the aug-cc-pVTZ basis set are compared with the theoretical best estimates for this benchmark set. We find that the original SOPPA method gives overall the smallest mean deviations from the reference values and the most consistent results.

Embodied, Relational Practices of Human and Non-Human in a Material, Social, and Cultural Nexus of Organizations
Creators: name: M. Küpers, Wendelin
Publisher: name: On_Culture
Year: 2016

description: This article explores the significance of materiality and non- or other-human, especially the role of body and embodiment in relation to intra- and inter-practices in organizations and their culture from a phenomenological perspective and cross-disciplinary approach. Following a Merleau-Pontyian approach, the non-human is discussed in relation to cultural practices in organizational life-worlds. Based on a critique of physicalist empiricism and idealistic rationalism, impasses and limitations of naturalist and constructionist approaches towards culture are problematized. Showing the co-constitutive role of the in(ter)-between and inter-corporeality allows interpreting the corporeal nexus of material, social, and cultural phenomena of inter-practices within a continuum of the human and non-human, thus as an entangled ‘non-+-human’ web. Finally, the paper discusses some implications and perspectives on the ‘non-+-human’ in the study and practice of culture by particularly outlining an ethos of ‘engaged releasement’ (‘Gelassenheit’). This orientation will be presented as a letting be-come in relation to things and thinking for mediating a living sustainable ‘bodiment’ of human and more-than-human dimensions.

I am here now: Determining value in location based services
Creators: name: Finn, Mark
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The adoption of GPS and other location defining technologies has dramatically increased the importance of what are commonly referred to as location-based services. Many companies have sought to exploit these technologies to generate revenue, with varying degrees of success. This paper explores a range of current location-based services in an attempt to determine some of the key factors through which value is produced for the supplier and the user. The result is a hierarchy of value, in which the value of the services is seen as the product of the level of information gathered about the end-user, in addition to physical location.

description: The daily care and nursing of people of various ages with disabilities or illnesses constitutes historical and contemporary socio-cultural contexts which are said to be ‘human-centered.’ The formation of practices, politics, and the distribution of knowledge within care and nursing has always been deeply intertwined with the very formation of culture and cultures. This is apparent when focusing upon issues of cleanliness in nursing and care, which are considered to be civilized and ‘cultured,’ and includes the way we handle excrement. Notwithstanding, there is a profound lack of understanding of the significance and impact that ‘non-humans,’ such as material objects, had and have in nursing interactions. Based on empirical research on historical and contemporary institutional settings of the ‘dirty work’ of nursing (derived from material culture studies, object-centered historical analyses, and multi-sited ethnography), we analyze the complex intermingling of humans and artifacts in the ‘delicate’ endeavor of supported excretion. As we will show, material objects do play a significant role in supporting those that are unable to undertake their (delicate) business autonomously. However, they also help to transform the dirty work of supported excretion into an object-controlled mode of action.

description: Executive pay became a much discussed issue during the recent global financial crisis. Substantial research has been done in the United States and United Kingdom, while research in Australia is still limited, especially in terms of using the data for the financial crisis. This paper will investigate the relationship between Australian executives' remuneration and their companies' performance during the global financial crisis. Two approaches were used to examine the relationship: firstly, an investigation of the pay-forperformance relationship that existed during the global financial crisis; and secondly, checking the robustness test by using one year before-and-after data. The sample is taken from the Top 200 companies from the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX) list for 2007 and 2008. In order to achieve a better understanding of this relationship, a conceptual model has been developed. Results show that Australia's business reward system is quite effective because executives' remuneration were reduced by their respective companies when they underperformed during this particular crisis. Overall, this study concludes that there is a positive and significant relationship between executives' remuneration and company performance during the global financial crisis, with higher sensitivity to market-based performance measures than accounting-based performance measures.
