description:
Bullying victimization remains to be a public health concern in the United States, especially among sexual and ethnic minority youth. However, few studies have examined how school outcomes might be associated with bullying victimization among heterosexual and sexual minority African American youth and the factors that may attenuate that relationship. To address this gap, this study surveyed 462 heterosexual and 102 sexual minority African American youth residing in Chicago’s Southside neighborhoods, who participated in the Resiliency Project. Study variables included bullying victimization, school outcomes (i.e., school connectedness, and academic grades), and future orientation. Bullying victimization was associated with a significant increase in feeling disconnected from school among both heterosexual and sexual minority adolescents; however, there was no significant association observed between bullying victimization and receiving low grades among either group. Future orientation did not moderate the association between bullying victimization and school outcomes among heterosexual adolescents; however, positive future orientation did attenuate the association between bullying victimization and feeling disconnected from school among sexual minority adolescents. Prevention programs that focus on promoting school connectedness need to consider the role of future orientation for sexual minority youth.

description: The rational large eddy simulation (RLES) model is applied to turbulent channel flows. This approximate deconvolution model is based on a rational (subdiagonal Pade') approximation of the Fourier transform of the Gaussian filter and is proposed as an alternative to the gradient (also known as the nonlinear or tensor-diffusivity) model. We used a spectral element code to perform large eddy simulations of incompressible channel flows at Reynolds numbers based on the friction velocity and the channel half-width Re{sub tau} = 180 and Re{sub tau} = 395. We compared the RLES model with the gradient model. The RLES results showed a clear improvement over those corresponding to the gradient model, comparing well with the fine direct numerical simulation. For comparison, we also present results corresponding to a classical subgrid-scale eddy-viscosity model such as the standard Smagorinsky model.

description: Exposure to air pollution has been related with varyadverse health effects. This study aims to assess the impact ofair pollution to the number of hospitalization for respiratory illness in Kuala Lumpur as the case study. Kuala Lumpur, thecapital city of Malaysia, is an urban and industrialized city in the tropical climate of Malaysia that often experiencing has highest recordof severe respiratory illness due to air pollution.The effects of air pollution on health triggers oxidative stress and inflammation, and it is plausible that high levels of airpollutants causing the high number of hospitalizations. In this study, an intelligent approach in data mining called association rules has been used based on its capability to search for an interesting relationship among attributes in a larger database andtoitsabilityto handle uncertain database that often occursin the real world problem. Association rules mining is a discovery of association relationships, frequent patterns or correlations among sets of items or elements in databases. In air pollution and healthcare database, association rules are useful as they offer the possibility to conduct intelligent diagnosis and extract invaluable information and buildimportant knowledge bases quickly and automatically, in order todevelopeffective strategies to minimize the health exposure to the air pollution. A total of 2102 data were obtained from theDepartment of Environment Malaysia and Malaysian Ministry of Health. There were six attributes used as input and one attribute as an output for the association rule mining. Data has been through a pre-processing stage to facilitate therequirement of the modeling process. As for conclusion, association rules mining has given a promising result with more than 90% accuracy and the rules obtained havecontributing to knowledge for the respiratory illness
Does the Despoiler of Water Have a Proprietary Right in the Commingled Product? Implications for Property Law and Criminal Procedure

Subjects: subject: Law
subject: FOS: Law

description: This paper considers who owns wastewater. Our view is that the common law notions of proprietary rights are incapable of providing the nuanced solution necessary to this question. This solution must encompass the public interest in maintaining a viable and safe waste disposal system. But equally the solution must encompass two new uses of wastewater. First, as water authorities increasingly extract a value from the consumer in respect of wastewater it has become an economic resource to which each member of the public is an important contributor. Second, wastewater is emerging as a potential source of intelligence for criminal investigators. We suggest that proprietary rights do not provide the solution to the dilemma of the ownership of wastewater. Further, while relevant, they do not mark out the boundaries of state obligations or powers in sampling wastewater for the purpose of criminal investigations. The law in this context is uncertain. Potentially it provides few protections to citizens’ privacy interests. This places the onus fairly on legislatures to engage with these issues and construct policies and laws that achieve an appropriate balance between the interests of law enforcement agents and those of the citizenry.
Conceptualising Social and Economic Regulation: Implications for Modern Regulators and Regulatory Activity

Subjects: subject: Law
subject: FOS: Law

description: The importance of regulation has risen over the past 40 years. It has been central to economic growth as well as an important part of social progress. Whilst governments have progressively tended to become less involved in direct service provision, regulation has become an expanding part of their work and a policy preference. Governments are increasingly using a mix of contractual arrangements, rules and other regulatory tools to achieve a range of social and economic objectives. Independent regulators are also increasingly required to balance sometimes contradictory social and economic values. This article examines the extent to which traditional conceptions of social and economic regulation continue to provide a useful framework within which to analyse modern regulators and regulatory activity, and concludes that they no longer reflect what occurs in practice with the risk that their continued use is apt to confuse. The article then posits an alternative way of conceptualising economic and social regulation that better reflects modern regulatory practice — one in which all regulation is underpinned by a mix of interconnected and interdependent social and economic values; where the distinction between social and economic regulation resides in the primacy of the values each is designed to advance and the purpose each is designed to achieve; and where the presence of the other (non-primary) values play a crucial role in legitimising the regulatory endeavour. This later point — which has not always been acknowledged — has important implications for modern regulators and regulatory activity.

description: New algorithm of the finite lattice method is presented to generate the high-temperature expansion series of the Ising model. It enables us to obtain much longer series in three dimensions when compared not only to the previous algorithm of the finite lattice method but also to the standard graphical method. It is applied to extend the high-temperature series of the simple cubic Ising model from beta^{26} to beta^{46} for the free energy and from beta^{25} to beta^{32} for the magnetic susceptibility.

description: In this work, a practically important parameters of strength and chemical resistance of polyepoxide based on resin-analogue ED-20 with PEPA hardener, filled with microdispersed powders of Si, Zr, Cr, Nb, Ti, Mo carbides, have been studied. The microstructure of the composites is characterized by a relatively uniform dense distribution of filler agglomerates, which can be seen in the example of compositions with 50 wt% TiC and ZrC. The absence of a significant effect of carbides on the temperature ranges of oxidative degradation of composites was established. Swelling method established that filling can radically increase the resistance of composites to acetone organic solvents. At the same time, resistance in an acidic environment is noticeably reduced (for example, nitric acid). It was found that the introduction of 50 wt% carbide fillers gives a significant increase in the strength and modulus of elasticity during compression of the composites. There is also a decrease in shrinkage and an increase in adhesion to steel (with normal tearing).
The Integrity Function and ASIO's Extraordinary Questioning and Detention Powers

description: The Australian Security Intelligence Organisation Act 1979 (Cth ) permits ASIO to coercively question and detain non-suspects in order to gather intelligence about terrorism offences. This article examines the extensive checks and balances that constrain these powers, and whether they meet the standard embodied in the emerging concept of the ‘integrity function’. This involves elaboration of the content of the integrity function and its application in a problematic context, as ASIO must be permitted to act with some degree of secrecy, and executive judgments on matters of national security have long been considered unsuited to external scrutiny. This study illustrates the difficulty of holding national security powers to account. It also reveals extant questions about the integrity function, including: whether it incorporates a law reform component; how independent the integrity branch must be; the intersection between the integrity function and judicial review, and whether and how the integrity branch can be silenced to protect national security. In turn, this article raises broader questions about the proper scope of ASIO’s powers.

These results include electron gains of up to $10^{7}$, low dark noise rates ($\sim$100 Hz/cm$^{2}$ at a gain of $6\cdot10^6$), single photoelectron (PE) timing resolution of $\sim$50 picoseconds RMS (electronics limited), and single photoelectron spatial resolution along and across strips of 3.2mm (electronics limited) and 0.8 mm RMS respectively and high (about 25\% or higher in some units) QE uniform bi-alkali photocathodes. LAPPDs is a good candidate to be employed in neutrino experiments (e.g. ANNIE, WATCHMAN, DUNE), particle collider experiments (e.g. EIC), neutrinoless double-beta decay experiments (e.g. THEIA), medical and nuclear non-proliferation applications.

Lawyers' Views of Decision-Making in Child Protection Matters: The Tension between Adversarialism and Collaborative Approaches
Creators: name: Walsh, Tamara
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Law
subject: FOS: Law

description: Outcomes in child protection cases impact substantially on children and families. Decisions in child protection matters must, therefore, be made with due caution and sensitivity. In order for the best outcomes to be achieved for children and their families, research suggests that decisions should be made collaboratively, and proceedings should be less adversarial in nature. At the same time procedural rules should be rigorously adhered to when decisions of a serious nature are being made, particularly where State interference in individuals’ lives has occurred or is being contemplated. Thus, there is a tension in the child protection context between the use of informal dispute resolution methods, and the need to safeguard the rights of children and families. This tension is explored in this paper, with particular reference to the principles of natural justice and the rules of evidence. The discussion is informed by empirical research undertaken with child protection lawyers in Queensland. The authors conclude with some suggestions for reform which reflect the ideal of collaboration without compromising the need for procedural fairness.

description: Photons, i.e. the basic energy quanta of monochromatic waves, are highly non-localised and occupy all available space in one dimension. This non-local property can complicate the modelling of the quantised electromagnetic field in the presence of optical elements that are local objects. Therefore, in this paper, we take an alternative approach and quantise the electromagnetic field in position space. Taking into account the negative- {\em and} the positive-frequency solutions of Maxwell's equations, we construct annihilation operators for highly-localised field excitations with bosonic commutator relations. These provide natural building blocks of wave packets of light and enable us to construct locally-acting interaction Hamiltonians for two-sided semi-transparent mirrors.

description: The ongoing agrarian crisis in Punjab is becoming a centrestage issue as the farmers are reeling under debt arising from stagnant productivity and low profitability. The total debt burden on Punjab farmers is estimated to be Rs. 22943 crores and the debt per farm household is Rs. 218092. The level of education, non-farm income, farm size and non-institutional credit were the main factors which affect the level of farmers’ indebtedness. The farmers face a large number of problems in availing institutional credit which drives them to fall into the debt trap of the crafty and exploitative non-institutional sources of credit. There is a need to strengthen the existing credit delivery system to accelerate growth of the farming sector for evacuating the peasantry from the incessant debt trap.
Easements Implied in a Grant — Away with 'Continuous and Apparent'

Subjects: subject: Law
subject: FOS: Law

description: In Wheeldon v Burrows, the law on implied grants of easements was pronounced to be that a grant would be recognised if the easement was ‘continuous and apparent’ or reasonably necessary for the enjoyment of the land, and used at the time of the grant for the benefit of the land granted. Ever since, there has been a controversy about whether the word highlighted actually means “and”. But there has been no in-depth consideration of the purpose which the ‘continuous and apparent’ requirement is supposed to serve. This article concludes that it serves no purpose at all, is often ignored by the courts, is not justified for historical or any other reasons, is not binding as part of the ratio decidendi of Wheeldon nor part of the broader contribution of that case to the development of the common law, and accordingly should be deleted from the discussion.

description: Despite two failed referenda on the subject, local government bodies have been persistent in their campaign for the constitutional recognition of local government. It is not clear, however, what is really intended to be achieved by constitutional recognition and whether sufficient thought has been given to the potential ramifications of the proposal. This article seeks to place the claim for constitutional recognition of local government in its context, especially with regard to the funding of local government. It critically analyses the current proposals for constitutional recognition of local government and points to the potential unwanted consequences of success.

description: Final state radiation (FSR) in pion--pair production cannot be calculated reliably because of the composite structure of the pions. However, FSR corrections have to be taken into account for a precise evaluation of the hadronic contribution to g-2 of the muon. The role of FSR in both energy scan and radiative return experiments is discussed. It is shown how FSR influences the pion form factor extraction from experimental data and, as a consequence, the evaluation of a_mu^had. In fact the O(alpha) FSR corrections should be included to reach the precision we are aiming at. We argue that for an extraction of the desired FSR--inclusive cross section sigma^(gamma)_had a photon--inclusive scan measurement of the ``e+e- to pi+pi- + photons'' cross section is needed. For exclusive scan and radiative return measurements in contrast we have to rely on ad hoc FSR models if we want to obtain either sigma^(gamma)_had or the FSR--exclusive cross section sigma^(0)_had. We thus advocate to consider seriously precise photon--inclusive energy scan measurements at present and future low energy e+e- facilities. Then together with radiative return measurements from DAFNE and BABAR and forthcoming scan measurements at VEPP-2000 we have a good chance to substantially improve the evaluation of a_mu^had in the future.

description: Humans share the ability to intuitively map ‘sharp’ or ‘round’ pseudowords, such as ‘bouba’ versus ‘kiki’, to abstract edgy versus round shapes, respectively. This effect, known as sound symbolism, appears early in human development. The phylogenetic origin of this phenomenon, however, is unclear: are humans the only species capable of experiencing correspondences between speech sounds and shapes, or could similar effects be observed in other animals? Thus far, evidence from an implicit matching experiment failed to find evidence of this sound symbolic matching in great apes, suggesting its human uniqueness. However, explicit tests of sound symbolism have never been conducted with nonhuman great apes. In the present study, a language-competent bonobo completed a cross-modal matching-to-sample task in which he was asked to match spoken English words to pictures, as well as ‘sharp’ or ‘round’ pseudowords to shapes. Sound symbolic trials were interspersed among English words. The bonobo matched English words to pictures with high accuracy, but did not show any evidence of spontaneous sound symbolic matching. Our results suggest that speech exposure/comprehension alone cannot explain sound symbolism. This lends plausibility to the hypothesis that biological differences between human and nonhuman primates could account for the putative human specificity of this effect.

We determined the orbital period of the system to be 97.27m and estimated the strength of its magnetic field to be on the order of 20 MG. The system was observed in both high and low states, common for its class. Other parameters of the magnetic close binary system were estimated. The spectral and photometric behavior of the object is similar to that of the well studied polar BL Hyi.

description: Linking small farmers to global markets through contract farming has become an important policy recommendation aiming to increase farmers’ income and foster rural development. Nevertheless, some of the arrangements involving small farmers have been reported to loose participants or collapse over time. Trust is an informal institution that can discourage opportunism and facilitate the compliance of contracts in a setting with an expensive and weak legal system. Nevertheless, the study of trust has been addressed mostly in lab experiments, but in the agribusiness context it has been addressed only by a few authors in a rather descriptive way. We use a framed field experiment with prior signaling on a sample of 180 small broccoli farmers in the highlands of Ecuador to explore the effect of opportunistic behavior on small farmers´ trust. The results reveal that this group of farmers has lower than average trust towards unknown people. Furthermore, we use a signal that mimics the payment of a loan by the B partner as treatment in the predesigned trust game. Results show that a positive signal increases trust, but a negative signal has no effect on it. Reacting slowly to external negative signs can threaten individuals who will not protect themselves towards opportunism. If farmers do not react quickly enough, they might face larger losses and will not be able to stay in business. In addition, if informal norms include weak sanctions, contract farming will be less likely and individuals will prefer the spot market were only one-time exchanges take place.

description: Resource-constrained IoT devices, such as sensors and actuators, have become ubiquitous in recent years. This has led to the generation of large quantities of data in real-time, which is an appealing target for AI systems. However, deploying machine learning models on such end-devices is nearly impossible. A typical solution involves offloading data to external computing systems (such as cloud servers) for further processing but this worsens latency, leads to increased communication costs, and adds to privacy concerns. To address this issue, efforts have been made to place additional computing devices at the edge of the network, i.e close to the IoT devices where the data is generated. Deploying machine learning systems on such edge computing devices alleviates the above issues by allowing computations to be performed close to the data sources. This survey describes major research efforts where machine learning systems have been deployed at the edge of computer networks, focusing on the operational aspects including compression techniques, tools, frameworks, and hardware used in successful applications of intelligent edge systems.

description: We present exact calculations of flow polynomials $F(G,q)$ for lattice strips of various fixed widths $L_y$ and arbitrarily great lengths $L_x$, with several different boundary conditions. Square, honeycomb, and triangular lattice strips are considered. We introduce the notion of flows per face $fl$ in the infinite-length limit. We study the zeros of $F(G,q)$ in the complex $q$ plane and determine exactly the asymptotic accumulation sets of these zeros ${\cal B}$ in the infinite-length limit for the various families of strips. The function $fl$ is nonanalytic on this locus. The loci are found to be noncompact for many strip graphs with periodic (or twisted periodic) longitudinal boundary conditions, and compact for strips with free longitudinal boundary conditions. We also find the interesting feature that, aside from the trivial case $L_y=1$, the maximal point, $q_{cf}$, where ${\cal B}$ crosses the real axis, is universal on cyclic and Möbius strips of the square lattice for all widths for which we have calculated it and is equal to the asymptotic value $q_{cf}=3$ for the infinite square lattice.

description: We introduce two pieces of information, denoted memes, into a diffusion process in which memes are transmitted when individuals meet and forgotten at an exogenous rate. At most one meme can be transmitted at a meeting, which introduces opportunity costs in the process. Individuals differ according to which meme they find more interesting, and that is the one they transmit if they face a choice. We find that both memes survive under the same parameter values, and that relative interest is the main determinant in the number of people informed of a meme in the long run. We apply our framework to analyze the impact of segregation and find that segregation leads to polarization. Segregation also reduces the overall number of people informed in the long run. Our final set of results shows that agents are more likely to prefer segregation if their information preferences are more extreme, if they have few social contacts, or if they prefer a meme that is preferred by only a small fraction of the population.

description: In this study, a post-heat treatment design for additively manufactured copper-bearing high-strength low-alloy (HSLA)-100 steel is performed by understanding the process-structure-property relationships. Hot isostatic pressing (HIP) is designed to reduce the porosity from 3% to less than 1% for the HSLA-100 steel processed by laser powder bed fusion (LPBF). Quenching dilatometry is employed to design the HIP parameters with the optimized cooling rate for the maximum amount of martensite transformed after HIP. Afterward, a post-heat treatment step with cyclic re-austenitization is introduced for an effective grain refinement to compensate the coarsened microstructure after HIP. Finally, tempering is optimized through microstructure characterization and microhardness. A two-fold increase in the yield strength of the HSLA with tailored microstructure during post-heat treatment is achieved in comparison with the as-built HSLA.

description: Cornips gravidspinatus Razowski, sp. n. (Figs 11, 59)
 Holotype male. Label data (10): “Musée du Congo, Tshamugussa (2250), Bweza 08–15.viii.1934, G. F. de Witte, Parc Nat. Albert, 518”; “ Congo belge: P.N.A., Tshamugussa Bweza, 2250 m 08-15.viii.1934, G. F. de Witte: 518”; “Type T., dryocausta, M.”; “Ex-Typus”; “P28”; “E.

LAA 97052”; “ MRAC / RMCA 00338”; specimen ID: RMCA ENT 000004953, in RMCA (Fig. 11).
 Diagnosis. Similar to C. dryocausta (Meyrick, 1938), differing in the male genitalia by a longer and more slender aedeagus; longer, gradually expanded uncus; and the shape of the processes of transtilla. Cornips gravidspinatus is closely related to Cornips agelasta (Bradley, 1965), comb. nov., which has a longer and more slender aedeagus.
 Etymology. The specific epithet refers to the size of the thorns of the transtilla; Latin: gravidus —heavy, strong; spinatus —spinulose.
Description. Length of forewing 8.3 mm. Wingspan 18.2 mm. Head and thorax brownish. Forewing weakly expanding terminally; costa weakly curved outwards; costal fold slender, extending to median fascia; apex rather short, pointed; termen slightly sinuate, indistinctly oblique. Ground colour yellow-brown with fine brown strigulation. Markings brown, dark brown at costa. Basal blotch reduced to an indistinct suffusion; proximal edge of median fascia straight; subapical blotch distinct accompanied by a weak subterminal suffusion. Cilia concolorous with ground colour. Hindwing brownish cream with cilia similar.
Male genitalia (Fig. 59). Uncus strong, weakly expanded terminally, weakly concave apically; terminal plate of gnathos large; soccii weak, long, slender; valva tapered terminad, with reduced brachiola; sacculus reaching end of valva, broad to before middle where transverse convexity present; membranous part of transtilla with thin spines, lateral processes with numerous strong spines; juxta rather small; aedeagus curved, with long ventral termination.
Female unknown.
 Remarks. The holotype of the new species was included in the type series of Tortrix dryocausta Meyrick, 1938. At first, the specimen was thought to be conspecific with Cornips agelasta (Bradley, 1965), but close inspection showed that the aedeagus of the latter is distinctly longer and more slender, and the socii are shorter.

description: The following result is proved: Let $D$ and $D'$ be bounded domains in $\mathbb C^n$, $\partial D$ is smooth, real-analytic, simply connected, and $\partial D'$ is connected, smooth, real-algebraic. Then there exists a proper holomorphic correspondence $f:D\to D'$ if and only if $\partial D$ and $\partial D'$ a locally CR-equivalent. This leads to a characterization of the equivalence relationship between bounded domains in $\mathbb C^n$ modulo proper holomorphic correspondences in terms of CR-equivalence of their boundaries.

description: We study the diffusion of charm and beauty in the early stage of high energy nuclear collisions at RHIC and LHC energies, considering the interaction of these heavy quarks with the evolving Glasma by means of the Wong equations. In comparison with previous works, we add the longitudinal expansion as well as we estimate the effect of energy loss due to gluon radiation. We find that heavy quarks diffuse in the strong transverse color fields in the very early stage (0.2-0.3 fm/c) and this leads to a suppression at low $p_T$ and enhancement at intermediate low $p_T$. The shape of the observed nuclear suppression factor obtained within our calculations is in qualitative agreement with the experimental results of the same quantity for $D-$mesons in proton-nucleus collisions. We compute the nuclear suppression factor in nucleus-nucleus collisions as well, for both charm and beauty, finding a substantial impact of the evolving Glasma phase on these, suggesting that initialization of heavy quarks spectra in the quark-gluon plasma phase should not neglect the early evolution in the strong gluon fields.

Understanding CSR: An Empirical Study of Private Regulation
Creators: name: Sheehy, Benedict
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Law
subject: FOS: Law

description: This article is a study of an important burgeoning form of regulation — private self-regulation — in the area of Corporate Social Responsibility (‘CSR’). Rather than taking a purely theoretical approach or a social scientific study relying on publicly reported data, the article addresses the issue by way of interview-based case studies. As a study in regulation it clarifies the difference between various types of self-regulation, trade associations’ codes as private self-regulation and government sponsored self-regulation. This distinction hampers efforts to understand the important aspects of motivation and compliance. This study provides an empirical examination of compliance in private self-regulation. Given the impact and reach of multinational companies (‘MNCs’) as well as the difficulties associated with regulating them through hard law, the necessity of effective CSR becomes paramount. CSR is a global movement of self-regulation utilised by MNCs with decidedly mixed outcomes. This study shows how private self-regulation can work by leveraging the personal motivation of employed managers educated in CSR and given discretion to pursue important social ends, particularly in conjunction with their communities.

description: The scan rate of an axion haloscope is proportional to the square of the cavity volume. In this paper, a new class of thin-shell cavities are proposed to search for axionic dark matter. These cavities feature active volume much larger (>20X) than that of a conventional cylindrical haloscope, comparable quality factor Q, and a similar frequency tuning range. Full 3D numerical finite-element analyses have been used to show that the TM_010 eigenmodes are singly polarized throughout the volume of the cavity and can facilitate axion-photon conversion in uniform magnetic field produced by a superconducting solenoid. To mitigate spurious mode crowding and volume loss due to localization, a pre-amplification binary summing network will be used for coupling. Because of the favorable frequency-scaling, the new cavities are most suitable for centimeter-wavelength (~ 10-100 GHz), corresponding to the promising post-inflation axion production window. In this frequency range, the tight machining tolerances required for high-Q thin-shell cavities are achievable with standard machining techniques for near-infrared mirrors.

ADR and Industrial Tribunals: Innovations and Challenges in Resolving Individual Workplace Grievances
Creators: name: MacDermott, Therese
Publisher: name: Monash University

Subjects: subject: Law
subject: FOS: Law

description: This paper analyses the dispute resolution practices of the federal industrial tribunal in dealing with individual workplace grievances, and examines the way in which these practices are changing and evolving, particularly under contemporary pressures to find more informal and cost-effective methods of dispute resolution. It is based on interviews with past and present federal industrial tribunal members, and draws on their observations of changes and challenges in the dispute resolution methods for resolving individual workplace grievances. The paper concentrates on three principal areas. First, it evaluates whether changes in the legislative scheme have had an impact on conciliation as the dominant mode of dispute resolution. Secondly, it examines how the way in which the tribunal exercises its dispute resolution powers to deal with individual workplace grievances over unfair dismissals has changed in two significant respects. Fair Work Australia has appointed a significant number of qualified and experienced mediators to conduct conciliation conferences, instead of members of Fair Work Australia, and the primary method of conducting these conferences is now by telephone rather than in person. The final area of dispute resolution practices that this paper deals with is ‘adverse action ’ claims brought under the general protections provisions of the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth) and the challenges that arise for Fair Work Australia in seeking to resolve such disputes.

description: Cet article explore l'impact de la gestion des connaissances sur la performance des employés en soulignant l'évolution des entreprises vers l'économie du savoir, où les employés jouent un rôle crucial dans l'innovation. La gestion des connaissances, en tant que processus de création, de transfert et d'application des connaissances, aide les employés à améliorer leurs compétences et leur performance. Les études montrent que le partage, la rétention et la personnalisation des connaissances ont un impact positif sur la satisfaction au travail, tandis que d'autres aspects, comme l'acquisition de connaissances, ont un effet moindre. L'article insiste sur l'importance pour les entreprises de développer des stratégies de la gestion des connaissances adaptées à leur contexte pour améliorer la performance des employés et des organisations.
