Entrepreneurship research: lessons learned from Scott Shane's Intensive PhD Seminar in Entrepreneurship
Creators: name: Kelleher, Leonie
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Scott Shane is a key thinker in entrepreneurship theory and praxis. Twice yearly, he conducts a biannual Intensive PhD Seminar in Entrepreneurship (Seminar) focusing on theory building and key controversies in the entrepreneurship field, with rigorous attention to optimum methodologies for exploring original ideas. The author was selected into the June 2008 Seminar and, in this paper, reflects on research gaps identified by Professor Shane, his approach to methodology and pedagogy. If offers an Australian perspective. As Australian entrepreneurial study and research draws heavily on international literature and Australian researchers are necessarily remote, the Seminar challenged Australian researchers to identify unique aspects of Australian experience that, linked with an identified research gap, could contribute to international understanding of the entrepreneurship phenomenon.

description: We propose a novel inference technique based on a pretrained diffusion model for text-conditional video generation. Our approach, called FIFO-Diffusion, is conceptually capable of generating infinitely long videos without additional training. This is achieved by iteratively performing diagonal denoising, which simultaneously processes a series of consecutive frames with increasing noise levels in a queue; our method dequeues a fully denoised frame at the head while enqueuing a new random noise frame at the tail. However, diagonal denoising is a double-edged sword as the frames near the tail can take advantage of cleaner frames by forward reference but such a strategy induces the discrepancy between training and inference. Hence, we introduce latent partitioning to reduce the training-inference gap and lookahead denoising to leverage the benefit of forward referencing. Practically, FIFO-Diffusion consumes a constant amount of memory regardless of the target video length given a baseline model, while well-suited for parallel inference on multiple GPUs. We have demonstrated the promising results and effectiveness of the proposed methods on existing text-to-video generation baselines. Generated video examples and source codes are available at our project page.

description: Transdisciplinarity…that which is between, across and beyond all disciplines. Transdiscilinarity…as described by Basarab Nicolescu, 'Its goal is the understanding of the present world, of which one of the imperatives is the unity of knowledge.' As an anthropologist in the field of design, my work has always been transdisiplinary. It is probably the essence of my being to work between, across, and beyond all disciplines. Yet to talk about transdisciplinarity, one must first have an understanding what disciplines are. For it is only once you are centered in a discipline that one can move between, across, and beyond.

description: Automated plot generation for games enhances the player's experience by providing rich and immersive narrative experience that adapts to the player's actions. Traditional approaches adopt a symbolic narrative planning method which limits the scale and complexity of the generated plot by requiring extensive knowledge engineering work. Recent advancements use Large Language Models (LLMs) to drive the behavior of virtual characters, allowing plots to emerge from interactions between characters and their environments. However, the emergent nature of such decentralized plot generation makes it difficult for authors to direct plot progression. We propose a novel plot creation workflow that mediates between a writer's authorial intent and the emergent behaviors from LLM-driven character simulation, through a novel authorial structure called "abstract acts". The writers define high-level plot outlines that are later transformed into concrete character action sequences via an LLM-based narrative planning process, based on the game world state. The process creates "living stories" that dynamically adapt to various game world states, resulting in narratives co-created by the author, character simulation, and player. We present StoryVerse as a proof-of-concept system to demonstrate this plot creation workflow. We showcase the versatility of our approach with examples in different stories and game environments.

description: Background: It has been observed that mice lacking the sulfatase modifying factor (Sumf1) developed an emphysema-like phenotype. However, it is unknown if SUMF1 may play a role in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) in humans. The aim was to investigate if the expression and genetic regulation of SUMF1 differs between smokers with and without COPD. Methods: SUMF1 mRNA was investigated in sputum cells and whole blood from controls and COPD patients (all current or former smokers). Expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) analysis was used to investigate if single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in SUMF1 were significantly associated with SUMF1 expression. The association of SUMF1 SNPs with COPD was examined in a population based cohort, Lifelines. SUMF1 mRNA from sputum cells, lung tissue, and lung fibroblasts, as well as lung function parameters, were investigated in relation to genotype. Results: Certain splice variants of SUMF1 showed a relatively high expression in lung tissue compared to many other tissues. SUMF1 Splice variant 2 and 3 showed lower levels in sputum cells from COPD patients as compared to controls. Twelve SNPs were found significant by eQTL analysis and overlapped with the array used for genotyping of Lifelines. We found alterations in mRNA expression in sputum cells and lung fibroblasts associated with SNP rs11915920 (top hit in eQTL), which validated the results of the lung tissue eQTL analysis. Of the twelve SNPs, two SNPs, rs793391 and rs308739, were found to be associated with COPD in Lifelines. The SNP rs793391 was also confirmed to be associated with lung function changes. Conclusions: We show that SUMF1 expression is affected in COPD patients compared to controls, and that SNPs in SUMF1 are associated with an increased risk of COPD. Certain COPD-associated SNPs have effects on either SUMF1 gene expression or on lung function. Collectively, this study shows that SUMF1 is associated with an increased risk of developing COPD.

From Gerry-built to purpose-built: creating fair and equal electoral districts in South Australia

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This paper examines the Constitutional requirement of the Electoral Districts Boundaries Commissioners in South Australia. Elsewhere in Australia, and until 1991 in South Australia, the presumption has been that a redistribution of electoral districts would only be politically fair if the redistribution authority is blind to the political consequences of the boundaries it draws. The fairness clause reverses that presumption, and requires the Commission to take political values into account, in much the same way as the parties, commentators and political scientists have always done. The paper covers the process the Commission has worked out to put the fairness clause into effect. I'll also look at why the fairness clause was introduced.

description: Introduction Elderly depression among elderly is a common mental illness with worldwide prevalence of 7% It is one of the ten leading Malaysian burden of disease • Known factors for elderly depression in the global population have included low socioeconomic status and certain medical conditions but this data is limited The objective of this study is to assess the impact of socioeconomic factors and medical conditions on depression among Malaysian elderly. Methodology Data was obtained from the National Health and Morbidity Survey (NHMS) 2018: Elderly Health Survey • It was a cross-sectional study of 3977 Malaysians aged 60 years and above • Depression was assessed using the GDS-14 questionnaire, where a score of 6 and above was taken as positive for depression • Analyses of associated factors were done using multiple logistic regression with SPSS version 26.0. Discussion Out of 3977 elderly persons sampled, 3772 responded (Response Rate – 94.84%). The prevalence of elderly depression in Malaysia was 11.2% (9.37-13.40) which was higher than the worldwide prevalence. Married elderly persons were noted to have lower odds of depression likely due to presence of companionship and decreased sense of loneliness. In general, lower socioeconomic status had higher odds of depression which was likely associated with decreased finances and social activities. Urinary incontinence was noted to be the medical condition that had the highest odds of elderly depression which was likely associated with social inadequacies which can be common in this condition. Other medical conditions noted to have higher odds of depression were hypertension, cancer and current smokers which can be associated with poorer health control and general mental well-being. Conclusion Routine depression screening, for example using the GDS questionnaire, should be done in the elderly population as low socioeconomic status and certain medical conditions can be associated with depression among the elderly in Malaysia.

description: Many pathogenic bacteria including Staphylococcus aureus use iron-chelating siderophores to acquire iron. IruO, an FAD-containing NADPH-dependent reductase from S. aureus, functions as a reductase for IsdG and IsdI, two paralogous heme degrading enzymes. Also, the gene encoding for IruO was shown to be required for growth of S. aureus on hydroxamate siderophores as a sole iron source. Here, we show that IruO binds the hydroxamate-type siderophores desferrioxamine B and ferrichrome A with low micromolar affinity and in the presence of NADPH, Fe(II) was released. Steady-state kinetics of Fe(II) release provides kcat/Km values in the range of 600 to 7000 M-¹s-¹ for these siderophores supporting a role for IruO as a siderophore reductase in iron utilization. Crystal structures of IruO were solved in two distinct conformational states mediated by the formation of an intramolecular disulfide bond. A putative siderophore binding site was identified adjacent to the FAD cofactor. This site is partly occluded in the oxidized IruO structure consistent with this form being less active than reduced IruO. This reduction in activity could have a physiological role to limit iron release under oxidative stress conditions. Visible spectroscopy of anaerobically reduced IruO showed that the reaction proceeds by a single electron transfer mechanism through an FAD semiquinone intermediate. From the data a model for single electron siderophore reduction by IruO using NADPH is described.

description: Quality is the most important cotrTonent of any comprehensive continuing professional development programme. This was addressed in a teacher education programme to further address the growing need for quality teacher education in the South Asian Region. Keeping this in view, the Department of Education at the Open University of Sri Lanka (OUSL) with the assistance of the Commonwealth of Learning (COL) launched a Master of Arts in Teacher Education (MATE) - International Programme in February 2005. This paper describes the development of this programme and how it supports collaboration and networking among institutional partners, individuals, as well as countries, at various levels including programme design, pedagogical design and programme implementation. A unique feature of the programme is its pedagogical design, which uses authentic learning scenarios to situate learners in various key roles with challenging tasks to perform. This story-centered approach enhances development of critical skills and knowledge of teacher educators, while encouraging collaborative learning. The learning environment for the programme consists of offline as well as online resources, local study centre support with library, computer and Internet facilities, continuous assessment leading to the final evaluation, continuous monitoring, guidance and counselling which are designed to facilitate student learning, while encouraging communication among staff and students. The collaborative learning design of the programme and the supportive learning environment facilitate networking among individuals as well as institutions.

Conjoint start-ups: a practice perspective on new venture creation
Creators: name: Tywoniak, Stephane
name: Best, Simon
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This study reports on an attempt to establish a new process of new venture creation: conjoint start-ups. The literature on entrepreneurship usually distinguishes between novice and habitual entrepreneurs (e.g: Westhead, Ucbasaran & Wright, 2005). Novice entrepreneurs have no prior start-up experience, whilst habitual entrepreneurs have established clusters of new ventures. Research distinguishes between serial entrepreneurs, who typically launch unrelated ventures, and portfolio entrepreneurs who start related ventures. These broad entrepreneurial trajectories mirror the corporate strategies of related and unrelated diversification (Porter, 1980). Traditionally, habitual entrepreneurs have been known to establish clusters of ventures in sequence, one business at a time. The phenomenon of conjoint start-ups differs from the above types in two respects: - first, conjoint start-ups form a cluster of related ventures launched simultaneously, not in sequence; - second, the cluster is inititated by several entrepreneurs working collaboratively, rather than by one person. Therefore conjoint start-ups are expected to have traits in common with corporate collaborative ventures (alliances, networks and consortia). The process of launching conjoint start-ups exhibits two differences of note compared to a typical, single firm, process of new venture creation. The first one is related to governance: in order to institutionalize the cooperation between the businesses, governance structure and processes must be established. In our case study, all entrepreneurs have agreed to take minority stakes in each other's firm and to market their services under the same umbrella brand. This led to lengthy negotiations about governance and intellectual property, and the drafting of a charter for the cluster of conjoint start-ups, covering shareholders' agreements, intellectual property, joint marketing and referral business, and key contingencies. The second difference with a traditional new venture creation process is the need to establish a community of practice across the clustered ventures: in order to effect cooperation, the clustered ventures must establish shared practices. In our case study, the entrepreneurs have had to develop shared processes, tools, and language specific to their cluster.
Validation and psychometric properties of the commitment to hip protectors (C-HiP) index in long-term care providers of British Columbia, Canada: a cross-sectional survey

description: Background: If worn during a fall, hip protectors substantially reduce risk for hip fracture. However, a major barrier to their clinical efficacy is poor user adherence. In long-term care, adherence likely depends on how committed care providers are to hip protectors, but empirical evidence is lacking due to the absence of a psychometrically valid assessment tool. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional survey in a convenience sample of 529 paid care providers. We developed the 15-item C-HiP Index to measure commitment, comprised of three subscales: affective, cognitive and behavioural. Responses were subjected to hierarchical factor analysis and internal consistency testing. Eleven experts rated the relevance and clarity of items on 4-point Likert scales. We performed simple linear regression to determine whether C-HiP Index scores were positively related to the question, “Do you think of yourself as a champion of hip protectors”, rated on a 5-point Likert scale. We examined whether the C-HiP Index could differentiate respondents: (i) who were aware of a protected fall causing hip fracture from those who were unaware; (ii) who agreed in the existence of a champion of hip protectors within their home from those who didn’t. Results: Hierarchical factor analysis yielded two lower-order factors and a single higher-order factor, representing the overarching concept of commitment to hip protectors. Items from affective and cognitive subscales loaded highest on the first lower-order factor, while items from the behavioural subscale loaded highest on the second. We eliminated one item due to low factor matrix coefficients, and poor expert evaluation. The C-HiP Index had a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.96. A one-unit increase in championing was associated with a 5.2-point (p < 0.01) increase in C-HiP Index score. Median C-HiP Index scores were 4.3-points lower (p < 0.01) among respondents aware of a protected fall causing hip fracture, and 7.0-points higher (p < 0.01) among respondents who agreed in the existence of a champion of hip protectors within their home. Conclusions: We offer evidence of the psychometric properties of the C-HiP Index. The development of a valid and reliable assessment tool is crucial to understanding the factors that govern adherence to hip protectors in long-term care.

description: Understanding the substructure of atomic nuclei, particularly the clustering of nucleons inside them, is essential for comprehending nuclear dynamics. Various cluster configurations can emerge depending on excitation energy, the number and types of core clusters, and the presence of excess neutrons. Despite the prevalence of tightly bound cluster formations in low-lying states, understanding the correlation between clusters and their formation mechanisms remains incomplete. This exploring study investigates nuclear clustering at the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) using simulations based on the modified BeAGLE model. By simulating collisions involving $e$+$^{9}$Be, $e$+$^{12}$C, and $e$+$^{16}$O nuclei, we find that the average energy of particles $\langle E \rangle$ and the system size ratios of particles at forward rapidity exhibit sensitivity to alpha clustering and its various configurations. These findings offer valuable insights into the dynamics of nuclear clustering and its implications for future studies at the EIC.

Distributed graph-based multi-agent planning
Creators: name: Zhang, Jian Feng
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: From the Artificial Intelligence (AI) perspective, planning is the problem of selecting and organizing actions to accomplish given tasks. In many real world scenarios, a complex task is often beyond the capability of a single agent. It requires multiple agents to cooperate with each other to accomplish the task. Planning for such a task involves the selection and organization of actions belonging to multiple agents. Most existing approaches to solving such a multi-agent planning problem rely on the complete knowledge of the actions in the domain, which confronts them with difficulties in distributed, dynamic and complex environments where it is often impossible or undesirable to build up complete knowledge. We argue that such situations are happening more and more frequently. For example, with the fast growth of the Internet and emerging paradigms such as SOC (Service Oriented Computing), the Internet has become a global, dynamic and open e-business environment. Companies, organizations and entities are encouraged to build up temporary collaborations promptly to meet short-term objectives and exploit fast changing business opportunities. However, the brevity of the collaboration, the diversity of the participants and the dynamic nature of the environment, discourage them from revealing all actions to each other or to a third party, and prevent the complete knowledge from being built up. This thesis studies multi-agent planning. In particular, it investigates the feasibility of performing distributed multi-agent planning for a given task without the complete knowledge of the actions in the domain. The major contributions of the thesis are listed: A new distributed search space representation Dis-graph is proposed. This enables agents to cooperate in constructing a distributed search space in a distributed manner; A novel distributed multi-agent planning algorithm Dis-graph planning is proposed. This algorithm utilizes a Dis-graph as the search space, and enables agents to cooperate in planning for a given task in a distributed manner, without relying on the complete knowledge of the actions in the domain; A DisCSP (Distributed Constraint Satisfaction Problem) encoding of the Dis-graph is proposed. This enables agents to compile a Dis-graph into a DisCSP automatically, and search for a plan via solving the DisCSP in a distributed manner; A way of integrating non-functional requirements (i.e. Quality of Service requirements) into the Dis-graph planning framework is proposed. The consideration of Quality of Service (QoS) is seamlessly included in the search for the plan, without modifying the Dis-graph planning framework; A novel expansion-based distributed multi-agent replanning approach is proposed. This approach enables agents to cooperate in repairing a distributed plan in a distributed manner, without the reliance on either the complete knowledge of the plan or the complete knowledge of the actions in the domain.

description: Cognitive load is a significant early indicator of neurodegeneration. Capturing early signs of cognitive load could delay the onset of acute dementia and other neurodegenerative conditions. Neurodegenerative diseases, such as dementia and Alzheimer’s disease, significantly impact the healthcare sector by increasing long-term care needs, raising healthcare costs, and burdening caregivers and medical resources. With an increase in the aging population, the prevalence of these diseases is expected to rise, increasing the economic burden. Due to the progressive nature of these neurodegenerative diseases, early detection is crucial to slow down the disease progression. While conventional medical technologies can detect cerebral blood flow variations, they are not suitable for regular monitoring due to limited accessibility, high operational costs, and the need for medical supervision. This highlights the need for portable sensors that can detect cognitive load, potentially leading to early dementia detection. Portable Radio Frequency (RF) technologies have the potential to revolutionize diagnostics by providing non-invasive, cost-effective, portable and wearable devices. These wearable sensing and imaging devices could offer timely and accurate monitoring, enabling early intervention and better disease management. This proactive approach could improve patient outcomes and reduce the overall burden on healthcare systems. This work presents portable RF sensing for multimodal detection of cognitive load and neurodegenerative diseases. The non-invasive RF sensors are designed, developed, and evaluated on artificial brain phantoms and human subjects to validate and demonstrate their efficacy. The sensing mechanism employs AI and machine learning methods for accurate classification and real-time diagnostics. Moreover, the RF sensors are utilized for portable brain imaging to monitor stroke and brain atrophy. This research provides an innovative approach to transforming mobile healthcare by offering portable imaging analysis, diagnosis, and prognosis with minimal medical supervision.

description: Dynamically field-programmable qubit arrays based on neutral atoms feature high fidelity and highly parallel gates for quantum computing. However, it is challenging for compilers to fully leverage the novel flexibility offered by such hardware while respecting its various constraints. In this study, we break down the compilation for this architecture into three tasks: scheduling, placement, and routing. We formulate these three problems and present efficient solutions to them. Notably, our scheduling based on graph edge-coloring is provably near-optimal in terms of the number of two-qubit gate stages (at most one more than the optimum). As a result, our compiler, Enola, reduces this number of stages by 3.7x and improves the fidelity by 5.9x compared to OLSQ-DPQA, the current state of the art. Additionally, Enola is highly scalable, e.g., within 30 minutes, it can compile circuits with 10,000 qubits, a scale sufficient for the current era of quantum computing. Enola is open source at https://github.com/UCLA-VAST/Enola

description: Background: Smoking and aberrant epithelial responses are risk factors for lung cancer as well as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. In these conditions, disease progression is associated with epithelial damage and fragility, airway remodelling and sub-epithelial fibrosis. The aim of this study was to assess the acute effects of cigarette smoke on epithelial cell phenotype and pro-fibrotic responses in vitro and in vivo. Results: Apoptosis was significantly greater in unstimulated cells from COPD patients compared to control, but proliferation and CXCL8 release were not different. Cigarette smoke dose-dependently induced apoptosis, proliferation and CXCL8 release with normal epithelial cells being more responsive than COPD patient derived cells. Cigarette smoke did not induce epithelial-mesenchymal transition. In vivo, cigarette smoke exposure promoted epithelial apoptosis and proliferation. Moreover, mimicking a virus-induced exacerbation by exposing to mice to poly I:C, exaggerated the inflammatory responses, whereas expression of remodelling genes was similar in both. Conclusions: Collectively, these data indicate that cigarette smoke promotes epithelial cell activation and hyperplasia, but a secondary stimulus is required for the remodelling phenotype associated with COPD.

description: After black holes collide, the remnant settles to a stationary state by emitting gravitational waves. Once non-linearities subside, these ringdown waves are dominated by exponentially-damped sinusoids, or quasinormal modes. We develop a general method using perturbative spectral expansions to calculate the quasinormal-mode frequencies and damping times in a wide class of modified gravity theories for black holes with any subextremal spin. We apply this method to scalar-Gauss-Bonnet gravity to show its accuracy, thus enabling robust ringdown tests with gravitational wave data.

Odd viscous flow past a sphere at low but nonzero Reynolds numbers

description: Measuring lift force on symmetrically shaped obstacles immersed in laminar flow is the quintessential way of signalling odd viscosity. For flow past cylinders, such a lift force does not arise when incompressibility and no-slip boundary conditions hold, whereas for spheres, a lift force was found in Stokes flow, applying to cases where the Reynolds number is negligible and convection can be ignored. When considering the role of convection at low but nonzero Reynolds numbers, two arising hurdles are the Whitehead paradox and the breaking of axial symmetry, which are overcome by asymptotic matching and the Lorentz reciprocal theorem respectively. We also consider the case where axial symmetry is retained because the translation of the sphere is aligned with the anisotropy vector of odd viscosity. We find that while lift vanishes, the interplay between odd viscosity and convection gives rise to a stream-induced non-vanishing torque.

description: A real-time beam profile monitoring system is proposed for GeV photon beams at the BM4 beamline of the Mikamine site, Research Center for Accelerator and Radioisotope Science (RARiS; previously known as ELPH) at Tohoku University. This monitoring system enhances the capability to monitor the entire beamline by incorporating newly developed beam profile monitors (BPMs) for upstream and midstream sections, in addition to the existing high-speed BPM used for downstream monitoring. This paper reports on the detection mechanisms of the newly developed BPMs and the actual measurement results obtained using the integrated beam monitoring system. The new BPMs are composed of plastic scintillation fibers and silicon photomultipliers, enabling high-precision, real-time measurements. Data acquisition utilizes streaming TDC, a firmware commonly employed in the J-PARC Hadron-hall, allowing real-time detection of high-intensity photon beams with count rates reaching several tens of MHz. With sufficient statistical data, the BPM achieved a 1-s beam-profiling accuracy of 10 μm. The proposed BPM system serves as a valuable resource for future physics experiments at the BM4 photon beamline and will significantly contribute to ongoing accelerator research endeavors.
