Acts of design: archives, material, & intention in the Circus Oz Living Archive Project
Creators: name: Stanton, Reuben
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: This research presents an account of a doctoral inquiry undertaken as an embedded practitioner and researcher, in the context of the Circus Oz Living Archive Project, an interdisciplinary research project conducted at RMIT University, Melbourne, Australia. This project was a three-year investigation into the creation of an online digital ‘living archive’: a collection of historical performance videos, combined with an intention to rethink existing paradigms of contemporary performance archives. As an embedded practitioner and researcher, my doctoral research was led by the question of how might we design a living archive? My approach has been one of research-through-practice, in which I have undertaken the design and creation of a prototype digital archive as both a pragmatic design act and as a research activity. Informed by discourse and literature from a wide range of academic areas, I critically reflect on the work undertaken in the design of this digital archive, in order to investigate some aspects of the roles and agency of an interaction designer engaged in its creation. By bringing together contemporary theories of the performance archive, conceptions of digital practice and digital materiality from the field of Software Studies, and Verbeek’s notion of material hermeneutics (2005), I examine the practice of Interaction Design, in the context of a project concerned with designing and making a contemporary digital performance archive. I argue that the work of a designer in this context is one of mediating hermeneutic relations with the archive through the creation of specific software representations. It is also one of executing agency through the use of performative design artefacts. This is an often opaque, yet powerful role, in which the decisions made by designers—along with the decisions enabled by the work of designers in the day-to-day process of collaboratively making the archive—ultimately affect society’s relation with the archive. The effects of design decisions have implications for contemporary cultural heritage and future cultural understanding. The concept of a ‘living archive’ suggests that the digital archive is not a singular thing to design, but rather an extensible cultural resource that has the capacity to live and be re-designed throughout its life. I also argue that the role of the designer in this process is ultimately one in which they must act with certain intention: in designing a ‘living archive’, designers have a responsibility to engage non-designers in making decisions about the archive’s representation. They also have a responsibility to demystify the process of making software, such that acts of cultural mediation performed by the digital archive can be enacted in well-informed, intentional, and respectful ways.

description: This is a novel approach to mitigating decoherence in quantum computing with "Fractional-Time Qubits: Leveraging Memory Kernels to Combat Decoherence in Quantum Computing." In this work, Erika Barker introduces fractional quantum dynamics by replacing the conventional time derivative in Schrödinger’s equation with a fractional derivative of order β. This modification incorporates long-range memory kernels—crucial for modeling 1/f noise and other non-Markovian effects—that fundamentally alter decoherence profiles and extend qubit lifetimes.

Key highlights include:

Expanded Hilbert Space Formalism: A novel framework that embeds fractional dynamics into a larger, unitary space, ensuring probability conservation and a generalized energy conservation law reminiscent of pseudo-Hermitian quantum mechanics.

Noise Mitigation Strategies: Detailed analysis and numerical simulations demonstrate how fractional dynamics produce stretched-exponential and power-law decays, effectively countering decoherence in 1/f, Ohmic, and sub-Ohmic noise environments.

Resource Efficiency: A comparative discussion on resource overhead reveals potential advantages over traditional quantum error correction, offering a promising pathway for near-term quantum devices with limited qubit counts.

Interdisciplinary Impact: The paper also connects these techniques with broader theoretical frameworks in quantum gravity and fractal time, suggesting far-reaching implications for both practical quantum engineering and fundamental physics.

This comprehensive study provides essential insights for researchers focused on quantum decoherence, advanced error mitigation techniques, and the development of robust quantum computing architectures. Keywords: quantum computing, decoherence, fractional dynamics, memory kernels, 1/f noise, non-Markovian, Hilbert space, quantum error correction.

title: Methods for mining political opinions from texts and large language models
Creators: name: Ceron, Tanise
Publisher: name: Universität Stuttgart

Subjects: subject: 004

description: In democratic societies, the diversity of opinions enables individuals to express their values and engage with differing perspectives. This thesis investigates political opinions through two lenses: texts and models, examining both ideological positions and policy issue preferences. While ideological analysis is well-established, policy issue preferences represent a more nuanced, underexplored research area. Investigating political opinions from political parties is essential for understanding voter choices, policy decision-making, and the shifts in party agendas over time. In the first part of this thesis, I focus on methods for mining political opinions from party manifestos. Automating the identification of political opinions helps process large datasets, minimize annotation time, and offer timely updates on newly released information from parties. I investigate how accurately party positions can be identified from texts with minimal annotations and the level of detail achievable in this process. We also explore the extent to which party positions can be identified on a large scale across different languages and countries.Results demonstrate that the identification of party positions can be distinguished between the tasks of political scaling and positioning which have substantial differences in terms of evaluation and application. Additionally, findings indicate that improving text representations through in-domain fine-tuning significantly benefits the performance when methods depend on text similarity. And finally, party scaling across languages achieves high performance with multilingual models. Models have become my object of study with the advent of LLMs. They introduce new concerns regarding the type of biases embedded and reproduced by them. Given the importance of shedding light on political biases in LLMs, the second part of this thesis addresses the evaluation and identification of political biases in LLMs. Our research questions center on robustly evaluating LLMs for biases and identifying the political biases regarding ideology and policy issue preferences. This thesis provides definitions of political bias and political worldview, which aid in designing methods for their evaluation. Moreover, it contributes with a framework for a robust evaluation of biases in LLMs and a dataset for evaluating political opinions in LLMs. Finally, findings indicate that small parameter size models are not reliable in their answers, and that LLMs do hold consistent political worldviews in relation to some policy issues. Overall, they highlight the necessity for continued research to understand the complexities and societal implications of developing models integrating diverse political opinions into AI systems.

Examining knowledge, attitudes and beliefs of oncology nurses towards pain management in Saudi Arabia.
Creators: name: Alqahtani, Mohammed Eid
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: Cancer pain is a multi-dimensional syndrome with a combination of acute and chronic pain that causes physical, psycho-social, behavioural, emotional and spiritual problems resulting in adverse effects on patients’ quality of life. Nurses ought to be well prepared with knowledge on pain assessment and management. Limited research has been conducted regarding nurses’ knowledge of and attitudes regarding pain management in oncology units, especially in Saudi Arabia. The aim of this study was to describe the level of knowledge, attitudes and beliefs of nurses working in oncology units in Saudi hospitals towards pain management, and to explore the nurses’ perceived barriers that hinder the delivery of effective pain management to cancer patients. A mixed method approach was used. First the Knowledge and Attitudes Survey Regarding Pain was adapted to measure the attitudes and knowledge of 320 nurses working in oncology units in five hospitals. This was followed by five focus group interviews to explore the barriers to effective pain management.

The results from the survey revealed that the nurses’ knowledge of and attitudes towards pain management was far from optimal. From the focus group data, five thematic categories emerged that represent the barriers to nurses. These were communication barriers; cultural differences; nurses’ workload; lack of knowledge; and absence of health team collaboration.
This study will provide baseline data for nurses, administrators and educators. The data can be used to improve current practices of patient care in relation to pain assessment and management, through identifying the deficient aspects of nurses’ knowledge, attitudes and beliefs towards pain management in oncology units. In addition, the study will increase nurses’ awareness of the barriers that may hinder the efficacy of pain management provided to cancer patients. Significant implications will benefit nursing practice, administration and education, in addition to identifying potential future research.

Teaching yoga in addiction recovery: a social work perspective
Creators: name: Griffiths, Mark
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: This thesis explores the personal and social challenges of teaching yoga in addiction recovery from a social work perspective. It is informed by an action research perspective using interviews and focus groups with yoga teachers and allied health professionals and the personal experiences of the researcher teaching yoga in an addiction recovery centre as well as a literature search on existing yoga and meditation programs used in addiction recovery and corrections. The research explores whether yoga could be applied as a complementary therapy in social work and how yoga assists in addiction recovery. Further it explores what programmatic requirements are needed for a constructive yoga program that addresses the needs of yoga teachers in this field and the participants who are very marginalised. The emerging themes and issues from the data and literature were explored and triangulation was used to draw one conclusion that was found consistently across all research methodologies. This was the importance of Kriya yoga. or the yoga of action, to achieve results with yoga as a complementary therapy. Kriya yoga has three elements: a commitment to regular practice, allowing time to reflect on how this practice is affecting your life and having faith in the yoga process.

Undelying this notion of kriya yoga is the importance of the yoga teacher-student relationship and the value of a yoga community that supports the student in their commitment to practice. Recovery from addiction is viewed as a journey involving many stages in which the yoga student deals with relapses. The exemplary yoga programs are forms of karma yoga or the yoga of selfless action. The development of a karma yoga network that forms an on-line bridge between the yoga communities and addiction recovery services is suggested by the research as one way forward in promoting yoga as a complementary therapy in addiction recovery.

Reworking the classics: revitalization of Guohua, traditional Chinese painting in search of contemporaneity
Creators: name: Koon, Wai
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: Since the early twentieth century a quest has been eagerly anticipated for Chinese painters to revive and rejuvenate the concept guohua, which literally means national painting. In Hong Kong which serves as a convergence of Chinese and Western cultural narratives, 'hybridity' comes to be a primary concern for local artists to take into consideration in their art creation. As a Chinese painter I consider my artworks to related to the guohua concept, however I also aim to shape my art to reveal the identity of Hong Kong culture through hybridity, and to revive guohua through sustaining the great tradition of bimo (literally meaning the brush and ink), in Chinese painting, as well as appropriating Western modes of expression. Based on the concept of 'reworking the classics', I decipher the codes embedded in traditional landscape painting and attempt to infuse my paintings with a new and contemporary look. With regard to spatial definition, I reinterpret the concept of the void and the solid and employ a multi-panelled setting for my works in order to further develop the 'reworking' concept. Recently, I have been actively exploring other media, such as sound in order to create a contrast between ancient Chinese cultural heritage and contemporary city-life.

Video analysis of mouth movement using motion templates for computer-based lip-reading
Creators: name: Yau, Wai Chee
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: This thesis presents a novel lip-reading approach to classifying utterances from video data, without evaluating voice signals. This work addresses two important issues which are
 • the efficient representation of mouth movement for visual speech recognition
• the temporal segmentation of utterances from video.

The first part of the thesis describes a robust movement-based technique used to identify mouth movement patterns while uttering phonemes. This method temporally integrates the video data of each phoneme into a 2-D grayscale image named as a motion template (MT). This is a view-based approach that implicitly encodes the temporal component of an image sequence into a scalar-valued MT.

The data size was reduced by extracting image descriptors such as Zernike moments (ZM) and discrete cosine transform (DCT) coefficients from MT. Support vector machine (SVM) and hidden Markov model (HMM) were used to classify the feature descriptors. A video speech corpus of 2800 utterances was collected for evaluating the efficacy of MT for lip-reading. The experimental results demonstrate the promising performance of MT in mouth movement representation. The advantages and limitations of MT for visual speech recognition were identified and validated through experiments.

A comparison between ZM and DCT features indicates that the accuracy of classification for both methods is very comparable when there is no relative motion between the camera and the mouth. Nevertheless, ZM is resilient to rotation of the camera and continues to give good results despite rotation but DCT is sensitive to rotation. DCT features are demonstrated to have better tolerance to image noise than ZM. The results also demonstrate a slight improvement of 5% using SVM as compared to HMM.

The second part of this thesis describes a video-based, temporal segmentation framework to detect key frames corresponding to the start and stop of utterances from an image sequence, without using the acoustic signals. This segmentation technique integrates mouth movement and appearance information. The efficacy of this technique was tested through experimental evaluation and satisfactory performance was achieved. This segmentation method has been demonstrated to perform efficiently for utterances separated with short pauses.

Potential applications for lip-reading technologies include human computer interface (HCI) for mobility-impaired users, defense applications that require voice-less communication, lip-reading mobile phones, in-vehicle systems, and improvement of speech-based computer control in noisy environments.
Contemporary working capital practices in australia
Creators: name: Zhao, Yilang
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: Corporate finance focuses on investment and financing decisions. Within this framework, however, the finance literature has given little consideration to working capital management. Similarly, in practice, working capital managers are regarded as passive contributors to major business decisions. This thesis attempts to increase academic awareness of the importance of working capital management. When we combine the existing literature with recent events, such as industrial technological advances, changes in Australian accounting standards, and the global financial crisis, a fertile research ground is evident and allows us to explore current practices in working capital management. Data are collected through interviews with 10 corporate treasurers and a survey of 120 Australian corporations to document the approaches used by working capital managers in the areas of cash, inventory, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and risk management. This thesis reports how fundamental factors such as firm size, company performance, credit ratings, industry, and education, gender, and age of the working capital manager play a vital role in the management of these areas. This paper’s major contribution lies in its examination of the behavioural aspects of working capital managers. We show that Australian managers are prone towards behavioural biases such as loss aversion, overconfidence, anchoring, and self-serving biases, and that some of these can be desirable for efficiency. Taking into account all of these factors, we propose a profile of a good working capital manager.
Psychological pricing in mergers & acquisitions
Creators: name: Agarwal, Nipun
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: Merger and acquisition (M&A) pricing has traditionally been conducted using Corporate Finance theory that relates to valuation methods like discount cash flow analysis, price-earnings ratio, transaction multiples. However, Behavioural Finance researchers have started to find that there are psychological factors that impact the valuation of financial assets, which includes pricing mergers and acquisitions. An empirical study by Baker, Pan and Wurgler (2009) found that the 52-week high stock price can become an anchor for the price offered to a potential target firm in an M&A transaction. This thesis develops a Two-person Merger & Acquisition model using incomplete information, prospect theory and real options games to model behavioural factors in pricing of such M&A transactions. The results of this thesis show that the mid-point of the offer price provided by the acquirer is usually accepted by the target in incomplete information games. However, this changes when prospect theory and real options games scenarios are considered. In brief, this thesis shows that it is critical to include behavioural biases in the valuation of M&A transactions as it can change the equilibrium price compared to the use of traditional Corporate Finance models.

Exploring the complexity of social experience, as a communication design practitioner, through collaborative projects
Creators: name: Geddes, Stuart
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: This study investigates complexity in relation to social, cultural and political experience. Central to this study is a belief in the cultural importance of discussion and critique of social, cultural and political constructs. It is an aim of this research to investigate how contemporary communication design can utilise complexity to generate discursive, complex and engaging projects that provoke debate and allow a plurality of positions to emerge. In reaction to the predominantly reductionist practice of graphic design, and in particular to the ready simplification of Adbusters and predominant notions of culture-jamming, this research positions complexity as a necessary virtue for fostering pluralist discussion. As project-based research, complex communication projects are approached through collaborative methodologies to investigate the initiation and design of emergent social, cultural and political dialogue. The projects that have either emerged from or been part of this research include Is Not Magazine (a hybrid literary magazine/broadside street poster/zine) and Dear John (a web-based, viral political campaign intended to contribute to the defeat of John Howard, Prime Minister of Australia, in the 2004 federal election.
The child in nature
Creators: name: Fletcher, Rebecca
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: There is little research on the young child's experience of the natural environment. Due to the increase in urbanisation, indoor recreation and indoor schooling many young children have become isolated from the natural environment. A love for nature and a sense of wonder in nature is being lost in the hurried childhood. This loss of access to nature impacts on the child's health and wellbeing, sense of connection and environmental literacy.

This research study explores how Melbourne preschool children experience and use nature through the environments provided to them in the preschool program. The main environment is naturally the preschool play yard; however, as excursions also form part of the curriculum, the child's visit to the Royal Botanic Gardens and the Ian Potter Foundation Children's Garden forms part of this experience.

Six case studies of Melburnian preschool children have been developed as a means to capture and communicate the interactions of individual children. Each of the six case studies present a child or pair of children 'in the moment,' as a snap shot of ecological learning and play behaviour and are presented as six stories, which allow the child's individual character and unique experience of nature to be expressed. Issues and behaviours evident in the children's interactions are then discussed through a framework of the seven ways of interacting in nature, which emerges from the demonstrations of these children.

This information was collected using research techniques in observation; structured observations using time sampling and behaviour mapping; participating in conversations with children and collecting anecdotal observations and children's artwork. The case studies provide insight into childhood interactions with the natural environment and the levels of engagement experienced by children, with nature. The six stories, alongside topical literature, form the basis for deep discussion on the observed ways of interacting with nature.

The ship-breaking industry of Bangladesh: an exploration of the accountability of shipping companies
Creators: name: Ferdousi, Most Moriom
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: This thesis explores the social and environmental information disclosure practices of shipping companies, with specific reference to how they account for the lifecycle of ships under their control. This thesis sheds light on the working conditions, violations of human rights, and ecological damage within the ship-breaking yards of Chittagong, Bangladesh. The thesis has two interrelated sections. The first section explores the social and environmental disclosure practices of the top ten global shipping companies for a particular year. The second section explores the disclosure practices of some of the identified shipping companies that supplied their ships for dismantling to the ship yards of Chittagong, Bangladesh. Both sections utilise annual report content analysis. For the purposes of measurement, an index called ‘Ship recycling related information disclosure index’ (SRIDI) has been used and the unit of analysis is the frequency of disclosures. The thesis also developed an ‘accountability model’ to evaluate the accountability demonstrated by the shipping companies.
The thesis finds that the extent of disclosures of social and environmental information, including ship recycle-related information by the global top ten shipping companies, is relatively high for some of the organisations. However, the disclosures made by the identified shipping companies that are alleged to supply the end-of-life ships to Bangladesh seem to be lower than the global top ten shipping companies. The thesis finds no information from either the global shipping companies or from the identified shipping companies annual report that specifically states where the ships actually go at the end of their lifecycle. This implies that the shipping companies avoid mentioning the final destination for their end-of-life ships to avoid potential criticism for dumping them in the ship-breaking yards of developing countries, an act which might negatively impact their reputation as well as ‘brands’. This also implies that although shipping companies that allegedly supply their end-of-life ships to Bangladesh should be accountable for their actions. However this does not appear to be the case. This thesis used a normative theoretical perspective and applied ‘accountability model’ to analyse the findings. The first part of the thesis was accepted as a paper in the AFAANZ conference 2012 held in Melbourne and was presented in a concurrent session by the researcher.

dyfunconn: dynamic functional connectivity - a neuroimaging Python module
Creators: name: Avraam D. Marimpis
name: Dimitriadis, Stavros I.
Publisher: name: F1000Research
Year: 2017

description: Functional and effective connectivity refer to the observed connectivity between distinct anatomical brain regions. This neural synchrony found to unveil the short-range as well as the long-range distance coordinated communication between neural populations during cognitive and perceptual tasks.

In this work, we present a new Python neuroimaging module, called “dyfunconn” specifically tailored for functional connectivity, synchrony estimators and graph analysis in the context of Functional Connectivity Microstates (FCμstates) analyzing Time-Varying Functional Connectivity Graphs (TVFCGs). The primary focus in the FCμstates paradigm is twofold; to represent the input time-varying connectivity into a small number-repertoire (data reduction) of features (feature extraction) while preserving the temporal dynamics of the connectivity patterns.

The broader goal is to provide a module, with a high level and consistent API that implements various and well-defined synchrony estimators (about fifteen of the time of this poster). These estimators are implemented in such fashion that can be utilized through the concept of Time-Varying Functional Connectivity Graphs; thus, our module, grants an additional level of graph analysis. The other important aspect of our module is data mining. We have implemented various advanced clustering algorithms/frameworks as proposed in the literature, such as Neural Gas. In the same spirit, we provide two important submodules for extracting and analyzing symbolic time series and employing statistical methods for significance evaluation, i.e. Surrogate Analysis with False Discovery Rate.

dyfunconn is continuously developed and is publicly available (https://github.com/makism/dyfunconn); built on top of other mature and well known open-source scientific libraries, namely numpy, scipy and networkx. Following the example set by these modules, all methods in the module contain high-quality scientific documentation with references and citations to the original papers. Finally, extensive unit tests and examples cover all the methods.

description: When sequencing a rare disease cohort, much of the variation will be either extremely sparse in the population, or entirely de novo. Deciding upon the best metric to evaluate the pathogenicity of each newly discovered variant can be onerous. Many variant pathogenicity predictors exist, yet determining which is most appropriate to use for a particular phenotype and its corresponding set of genes is difficult. One major complication in fairly evaluating metrics lies with ClinVar. ClinVar has numerous limitations: it changes version and its variant set constantly, the criteria for establishing pathogenicity is not consistent, benign variants are primarily common variants from population-scale datasets, and many variants are incorrectly annotated. Nearly all variant pathogenicity predictors have compared their metrics to others on ClinVar alone, and each one uses a different version or subset of the variants, with virtually no consistency between independent evaluations based on ClinVar.

To address these difficulties and to aid in the evaluation of new and existing methods, we have create pathoscore, which acts both as a tool and a collection of curated truth sets and metrics. The truth sets are filtered to exclude supposed pathogenic variants that are common in the gnomAD population database. The pathoscore tool allows quickly evaluating existing methods via a simple command-line tool that utilizes the truth-sets included in the repository.

Pathoscore creates an interactive HTML page for evaluating the performance of variant pathogenicity predictors on different truth sets. The HTML contains ROC curves, value distribution plots for benign and pathogenic variants for each metric, Youden’s J statistic curves, precision recall curves, the number of variants each metric was able to score, and a clinical utility score. There is a detailed README and a wiki to facilitate use of this tool and help interpret the output. Our goal is not only to provide bioinformaticians with a fair and consistent way to evaluate their new tool against existing approaches, but also to provide clinicians and diagnosticians with an easy, comprehensive approach to identifying the best metric for their patients’ datasets.

Design as systems of knowledge
Creators: name: Granberg, Erik
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: This research focuses on the act of making, based on, and conducted through, parts of my design praxis. In this I have been interested primarily in two, interrelated aspects: the designer as an anthropologist—design as the knowledge of societies; and the designer as a craftsman—design as the knowledge of how to put things together. I understand both of these activities as instances—makings—where statements are produced and transmitted. My research has been directed towards:

• What statements are involved in the act of making?
• How and why are these statements produced?
• How and by what are these statements transmitted and maintained?
• How and why do these statements bring together objects, languages, and bodies as well as activities, phenomena, and ultimately societies?

As a practical underlay for the research, I have created and framed eight different design laboratories—here presented as individual works. These laboratories are instances (in my existing portfolio) where I have framed, found and/or unearthed structures of statements; as well as new instances where I have created and transmitted statements. Common to all the design laboratories is the element of full-scale exploration in which research has been done through the very act of making, rather than through merely representing or observing makings.

 This research has been conducted from two ends, sometimes carelessly called, practical and theoretical. Subsequently, I have created this document as two separated but interconnected publications; similar to how the different sides of this research are seen to complement and reflect each other, the two documents seek to create an inseparable whole. They are cross-referential: in a reading of one of the documents it is the intention that the contra part serves as a reference.
