description: Background: Addiction treatment faces high pretreatment and treatment dropout rates, especially among Aboriginals. In this study we examined characteristic differences between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal clients accessing an inpatient medical withdrawal management program, and identified risk factors associated with the probabilities of pretreatment and treatment dropouts, respectively. Methods: 2231 unique clients (Aboriginal = 451; 20%) referred to Vancouver Detox over a two-year period were assessed. For both Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal groups, multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted with pretreatment dropout and treatment dropout as dependent variables, respectively. Results: Aboriginal clients had higher pretreatment and treatment dropout rates compared to non-Aboriginal clients (41.0% vs. 32.7% and 25.9% vs. 20.0%, respectively). For Aboriginal people, no fixed address (NFA) was the only predictor of pretreatment dropout. For treatment dropout, significant predictors were: being female, having HCV infection, and being discharged on welfare check issue days or weekends. For non-Aboriginal clients, being male, NFA, alcohol as a preferred substance, and being on methadone maintenance treatment (MMT) at referral were associated with pretreatment dropout. Significant risk factors for treatment dropout were: being younger, having a preferred substance other than alcohol, having opiates as a preferred substance, and being discharged on weekends. Conclusions: Our results highlight the importance of social factors for the Aboriginal population compared to substance-specific factors for the non-Aboriginal population. These findings should help clinicians and decision-makers to recognize the importance of social supports especially housing and initiate appropriate services to improve treatment intake and subsequent retention, physical and mental health outcomes and the cost-effectiveness of treatment.

title: Organic growth as a process to reach a resilient and sustainable city

Year: 2022

description: From the beginning of the year 2000, cities are in continuous development at an unprecedented speed, hosting every year larger populations. In this urban horizon of constant growth, cities play a crucial role in affecting or improving the living quality of human beings and the successful interaction among social, environmental and economic systems. As a living organism, the city acts as a complex system of shapes and functions able to evolve in time to stay alive. The term ‘resilience’ means the ability to resist or survive by changing those features of every organic system including the city. The resilience of urban form represents a method to guide the growth of contemporary cities, also included in the ninth and eleventh Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) respectively. Nowadays, most towns are featured by uncontrolled urbanisation that seems not compatible with the natural city’s inclination towards resilience and sustainability. These terms are often used interchangeably, while they are complementary. If associated with urban form, these terms are still unexplored avenues of research as well as a preliminary investigation. In particular, there is a gap in the field literature matching urban morphology, resilience and SDGs. This paper aims to reply to the following question: how can urban morphology actively enhance the city's adaptability and its sustainable processes of change? Merging the City Resilience Framework from the Rockefeller Foundation in cooperation with Arup and the Global Indicator Framework for the SDGs from the 2030 Agenda, it provides a theoretical and methodological contribution to translate them into urban fabrics and typologies, by hypothesising a set of new requisites enable to comply with resilience science and sustainable development. The research results will foster advancements in spatial morphology to further direct urban policy and practice towards a more organic approach to city evolution.
Digital curation of public policy resources: discovery, access and management for policy and practice
Creators: name: Lawrence, Amanda
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Public policy and practice relies on a wide range of resources, including traditional scholarly publications, and those produced directly by organisations, such as reports, discussion papers, briefings, reviews and data sets produced by government, academic centres, non-government organisations (NGOs), think tanks and companies. While heavily used, the collection and curation of digital publications (grey literature) is dispersed, inefficient and inadequate. This paper presents recent research on use, production and collection of policy publications and discusses the approach of Policy Online, a digital library using a variety of tools including crowd-sourcing content, linked data approaches, Digital Object Identifiers and more.

Learn to be Fair without Labels: a Distribution-based Learning Framework for Fair Ranking
Creators: name: Chen, Fumian
name: Fang, Hui
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2024
Subjects: subject: Information Retrieval (cs.IR)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Ranking algorithms as an essential component of retrieval systems have been constantly improved in previous studies, especially regarding relevance-based utilities. In recent years, more and more research attempts have been proposed regarding fairness in rankings due to increasing concerns about potential discrimination and the issue of echo chamber. These attempts include traditional score-based methods that allocate exposure resources to different groups using pre-defined scoring functions or selection strategies and learning-based methods that learn the scoring functions based on data samples. Learning-based models are more flexible and achieve better performance than traditional methods. However, most of the learning-based models were trained and tested on outdated datasets where fairness labels are barely available. State-of-art models utilize relevance-based utility scores as a substitute for the fairness labels to train their fairness-aware loss, where plugging in the substitution does not guarantee the minimum loss. This inconsistency challenges the model's accuracy and performance, especially when learning is achieved by gradient descent. Hence, we propose a distribution-based fair learning framework (DLF) that does not require labels by replacing the unavailable fairness labels with target fairness exposure distributions. Experimental studies on TREC fair ranking track dataset confirm that our proposed framework achieves better fairness performance while maintaining better control over the fairness-relevance trade-off than state-of-art fair ranking frameworks.

title: Sustainability of the oldest squatter settlements of Bursa : a study on Mollafenari and İvazpaşa Neighbourhoods
Creators: name: Berk, Ikbal
name: Bilsel, Cânâ
Publisher: name: University of Strathclyde Publishing
Year: 2022

description: Change in the production processes has been a significant factor that affects the social organisation and shapes the urban form. For Bursa, the first Ottoman capital city, the change was stimulated with the emergence of silk factories working with steam and the increasing need for labour starting from the late nineteenth century. This need triggered a population flow from nearby villages to the city's southern outskirts through the migration routes passing along the slopes of Uludağ mountain. Mollafenari and İvazpaşa neighbourhoods located between the mountain and the historic city were developed as a result of this process. Starting from the mid-twentieth century, Bursa was subject to another yet unprecedented migratory flow that has affected all major cities of the country. The migrants mainly originated from the surrounding villages created their squatter settlements between the city's old neighbourhoods and the mountain's steep slopes. The resulting urban development did not follow any specific rules; the migrants have shaped their selforganised territories in the close vicinity of their working places. The squatter neighbourhoods have been consolidated through physical and social stratification that formed a whole system. These neighbourhoods that their residents shaped have acquired a strong sense of place and have proven to be socially sustainable for almost seventy years. However, under the effect of rapid transformation that the city centre is subject to, these settlements are at risk of demolition today. Therefore, thinking of their physical and social sustainability without losing their current values and potentials is necessary, in line with the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals, namely "Sustainable Cities and Communities". This study aims to analyse the urban morphological and architectural attributes of these old squatter settlements and discuss their sustainability as successful urban places.
Numerical Simulation of Simultaneous Growth of Multiple Interacting Hydraulic Fractures from Horizontal Wells
Creators: name: Bunger, Andrew
name: Peirce, Anthony
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: The technique of multistage hydraulic fracturing from horizontal wells is universally credited with enabling the economical production of hydrocarbon resources from shale formations. The method almost always entails the injection of fluid through the wellbore with the potential to create hydraulic fractures from multiple reservoir entry points, typically clusters of wellbore perforations, that are spaced out along the wellbore within a section that is colloquially referred to as a “stage”. Arguably the most basic question about this situation is how many perforation clusters within a given fracturing stage can be expected to produce growing hydraulic fractures. This paper presents a numerical investigation of this issue that employs a newly-developed, fully coupled parallel planar 3D hydraulic fracturing simulator that features: implicit time stepping, an implicit level set scheme to locate the propagating hydraulic fracture fronts that respond to their regimes of propagation and enables highly accurate simulations using a very coarse mesh, and the capability to dynamically partition the fluid among multiple, simultaneously growing hydraulic fractures in parallel, overlapping planes. Our results demonstrate the dependence of the energetically preferred number of growing hydraulic fractures on the length of the isolated zone, the height of the reservoir, and the relative importance of the fluid viscosity. In particular, we show that reservoirs with effective height containment and injection strategies that ensure substantial viscous dissipation will promote growth of multiple simultaneous hydraulic fractures rather than localization to just one or two dominant fractures.

description: Owing to the broad energy coverage of Insight-HXMT in the hard X-ray band, we detected the highest energy of pulsation exceeding 200 keV around the 2017-2018 outburst peak of the first Galactic pulsating ultraluminous X-ray source (PULX) Swift J0243.6+6124, which is the highest energy detected from PULXs to date. We also obtained the highest energy of pulsation of every exposure during the outburst in 2017-2018, and found the highest energy is roughly positively correlated with luminosity. Using our newly developed method, we identified the critical luminosity being $4\times 10^{38}\, \rm erg\,s^{-1}$ when the main peaks of the low and high energy pulse profiles became aligned, which separates the fan-beam dominated and pencil-beam dominated accretion regimes. Above the critical luminosity, the phase of the main peak shifted gradually from 0.5 to 0.8 until the outburst peak in all energy bands is reached, which is in agreement with the phase shift found previously at low energies. Our result is consistent with what is derived from spectral analysis.

description: Urban morphological research nowadays is a constantly widening field of study that explores multiple temporal and spatial layers, however, researches focus mainly on larger cities or districts, and less on the morphological analysis of settlements of smaller size. In Hungary though, a third of the settlements are villages with less than 500 inhabitants. The Őrség (Guard’s Country), which is the subject of the study, is an area that consists mostly of small villages along the western border of Hungary, which character has been significantly influenced by its unique landscape, geographical features, location and turbulent history. Due to its specific nature, a so-called ‘szer’ form of settlement has emerged in the area, which were isolated because of the political situation after World War II, however, after the collapse of the socialist regime (1990) they became vital again. In addition to the analysis of written sources, we carried out our research by using historical maps, valid regulatory plans and web mapping services (Google Earth, OpenTopoMap) in three related settlements of Őrség selected by us (Őriszentpéter, Ispánk, Nagyrákos). The number of historical maps available is very limited, hence there is a shortage of comparison of the exact spatial and structural changes of the area. Our goal is to gain insight into the changing tendencies of land use of the settlements, which are closely related to the farming traditions and social customs typical of Őrség, by digitizing and comparing the individual historical maps and to understand the processes of interdependence and cooperation of small settlements. The study presents the conclusions of the first steps of a prolonged research process, by combining an architectural and landscape architectural approach. Given that the presence of small villages is still typical in the fabric of Hungarian settlements, the experience of the research can be widely applied later.

description: The Project is about multigenerational fans of Australian football. The artefact is a memoir focussed upon a family that has followed the Collingwood Football Club over five generations. It involves humour, self-insights, and visual and verbal ethnography. It is a family archive of narratives with an Australian narrator's voice. The academic framework is an exegesis that identifies and addresses a gap in the literature about women football fans with a commitment to a football club. The two elements add significantly to new scholarship about narrative discourse, autoethnography and social identity as applied to football fandom and family narratives about it.

description: Topic modeling is a widely utilized tool in text analysis. We investigate the optimal rate for estimating a topic model. Specifically, we consider a scenario with $n$ documents, a vocabulary of size $p$, and document lengths at the order $N$. When $N\geq c\cdot p$, referred to as the long-document case, the optimal rate is established in the literature at $\sqrt{p/(Nn)}$. However, when $N=o(p)$, referred to as the short-document case, the optimal rate remains unknown. In this paper, we first provide new entry-wise large-deviation bounds for the empirical singular vectors of a topic model. We then apply these bounds to improve the error rate of a spectral algorithm, Topic-SCORE. Finally, by comparing the improved error rate with the minimax lower bound, we conclude that the optimal rate is still $\sqrt{p/(Nn)}$ in the short-document case.

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: Organizations are increasingly confronted with knowledge and information management challenges that are best addressed through semantic, graph-based solutions, but are unsure where to get started. A key element contributing to the success of graph technologies will be the ability to rapidly prototype and develop knowledge graph solutions for business users to see value quickly. However, current limitations in the way large organizations manage and maintain data make implementations challenging, often getting stuck in design phases. In this talk, Thomas Mitrevski and Sara Nash will present a framework to rapidly create a working semantic architecture to connect users to their organizational information in a quick and efficient manner. The framework includes the development of a foundational semantic model (e.g. taxonomies/ontologies) and resources and skill sets needed for successful initiatives so that your knowledge graph products can scale, as well as the data architecture and tooling required (e.g., cataloging and storage) for enterprise-scale implementation. Sara and Thomas will provide real-world examples from their direct experience in driving several knowledge graph implementation initiatives, sharing lessons learned and key takeaways.

We then illustrate this with a concrete example of a production system that is built to manage legal information, using Amazon Neptune, from law firms, courts, and other third-party sources. This system also offers sophisticated search functions that help lawyers find relevant information, such as similar legal briefs, to work more efficiently on their cases.

description: Background: OPTIC is a mixed method Partnership for Health System Improvement ( http://www.cihr-irsc.gc.ca/e/34348.html ) study focused on improving care for nursing home (NH) residents who are transferred to and from emergency departments (EDs) via emergency medical services (EMS). In the pilot study we tested feasibility of concurrently collecting individual resident data during transitions across settings using the Transition Tracking Tool (T3). Methods The pilot study tracked 54 residents transferred from NHs to one of two EDs in two western Canadian provinces over a three month period. The T3 is an electronic data collection tool developed for this study to record data relevant to describing and determining success of transitions in care. It comprises 800+ data elements including resident characteristics, reasons and precipitating factors for transfer, advance directives, family involvement, healthcare services provided, disposition decisions, and dates/times and timing. Results Residents were elderly (mean age = 87.1 years) and the majority were female (61.8%). Feasibility of collecting data from multiple sources across two research sites was established. We identified resources and requirements to access and retrieve specific data elements in various settings to manage data collection processes and allocate research staff resources. We present preliminary data from NH, EMS, and ED settings. Conclusions While most research in this area has focused on a unidirectional process of patient progression from one care setting to another, this study established feasibility of collecting detailed data from beginning to end of a transition across multiple settings and in multiple directions.

Plotting A Course Through The Bermuda Triangle Of Enterprise Data With An Enterprise Knowledge Graph

description: Today’s organization demands rapid insight from increasingly hybrid, varied, and changing data. Traditional enterprise data management systems can’t keep up with this growing complexity and insights get lost somewhere in the Bermuda Triangle of data storage, data catalogs, and analytic applications. Conventional graph or relational data architectures lack the access, context, and inferencing required to meet the grueling demands for innovating and monetizing advanced analytic solutions. Data catalogs provide an inventory of information assets, however if the catalog is disconnected from the rest of the enterprise data, you’re left with a meta-data silo. This leaves data and analytic teams constrained by architectural limitations for highly scalable, discovery-style analysis in relation to business problems. Data fabrics have emerged as a modern solution to address these data needs. An Enterprise Knowledge Graph is the key enabling ingredient to a data fabric. As a unified graph data model enriched with logical definitions, it provides a flexible data layer that dynamically weaves together data across the organization. With an Enterprise Knowledge Graph you can connect to data regardless of where it’s stored, bring to life your data catalog, and empower your data and analytics teams with the data and insights they need, faster.

description: The development of metropolitan areas in Russia for urban morphologists is either one of the thematic "white spots" or is interpreted as a set of post-Soviet stereotypes. Meanwhile, the resource base for studies of the urban form in Russia is being replenished with new data, which makes it possible to more accurately assess the measure of compliance of the urban tissue with the criteria of sustainability and resilience. One of such information resources containing information about land plots and buildings, the filling and updating of which since 2008 allows us to talk on the sufficiency and reliability, is the Unified State Register of Real Estate. Our study aimed to develop methods for the analysis of urbanized areas at the level of land plots, based on the methodology of the rural-urban transect. A set of parameters was developed that quantify the geometry, accessibility and diversity of land plots, on the basis of which individual plots using GIS were combined into clusters corresponding to transect zones. These methods were tested on the example of the territory of the city of Tula, established in the 12th century, having ca. 500.000 inhabitants and an area of 145,8 square kilometres. As a result of the study, we came to the conclusion that the share of the suburban transect zone in Tula is one of the largest. At the same time, the suburban area is characterized by a low degree of functional diversity, regardless of its genesis from rural settlement or agricultural land. To a certain extent, parallels can be drawn here with the American suburbia. The developed methods have shown some universality in the Russian context, which will allow them to be applied to the analysis of other metropolitan areas.
Continuous steelmaking: the balance between intensity and refining

description: Worner established in the 60s that highly refined steel could be produced continuously from iron in an integrated smelting and refining furnace. Whilst this work demonstrated the potential of continuous steelmaking, the technology was never built beyond pilot scale. Of particular concern was tbe perceived low productivity of the process and the related concern, that increasing productivity through such a furnace would result in decreasing the refining capability of the process. This balance between productivity and refining has been the subject of recent studies at the University of Wollongong, using cold modelling techniques to evaluate the effect of mixing on dispersion in a refining launder. These studies have shown that there should be no impediment to achieving high intensity with a high degree of refining. Recent research has been directed at examining the possibility of marrying a high intensity melting zone with a less stirred refining zone.

Graphs before algebra: an exercise in imaginary curriculum
Creators: name: Barling, Christopher
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The technology that we use to present a topic to our students, and the technology that we expect our students to use in class, can have profound effects on what is taught and the way in which it is taught. Sometimes this does not happen for a number of reasons, including concerns as to how much the students will 'understand' using the new technology, and the development of new curriculum and new methods can be slowed or stopped altogether. One way to work through these difficulties is to present blocks of 'imaginary curriculum' as a basis for discussion among teachers and authorities, working through the sorts of understanding we would expect students to develop and identifying points where something might be gained or lost. A specimen topic is developed in this paper. In Australia in the middle years of secondary school students typically learn to work algebraically with quadratic functions, first multiplying out products of terms and then reversing the process to factorize quadratics. Later this is extended into completing the square and solving quadratic equations by factorizing, by completing the square or by use of the standard formula. Later again students use these algebraic skills in constructing graphs of quadratic functions. In this paper the author demonstrates how the process can be completely reversed, using modern hand-held graphing calculators, by studying graphs first and then deducing all the standard algebraic processes. Examination of the underlying processes suggests that this method is at least as easy to understand, if not clearer; that students will 'understand' at least as much as they do by learning the traditional processes; and that they will be more able to extend their skills into more advanced problems. In an ideal curriculum students would probably learn both approaches and the connections between them, to enable them to check their work and reinforce their understanding in multiple ways.

Variation in student learning in accounting
Creators: name: Tempone, Irene
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Why do students learn different things when appearing to have the same classroom experience? This problem is a growing one, given that the 'massification' of higher education has created more varied cohorts of students. Students all encounter what appears to be the same teaching experience and yet have vastly different learning experiences. In the accounting discipline in particular, accounting is taught to graduates and undergraduates preparing for managerial roles in a variety of areas. Teachers of accounting in higher education do not teach only potential accountants, but students from a wide range of disciplines. The question of why the same apparent experience leads to different learning outcomes is central to this study. The question is posed: 'how do a range of accounting students from different backgrounds and with different experiences tackle an accounting assignment which involves the analysis and interpretation of financial statements?' Students were interviewed about: what they believed the task of the accounting assignment of this study to be; how they identified the task requirements; and the strategies employed to complete the task. They also completed a questionnaire about the way they studied. Transcripts were analysed using phenomenographic methodology, with an outcome space, plotting intentions and strategies derived for each aspect of the assignment. Both questionnaire results and student responses within categories of description were analysed for statistical significance. Categories of description were derived for three aspects of the assignment. They were: approach to/experience of: group work; theory to practice; and understanding financial statements. These were matched respectively with John Biggs 3P model of student learning which comprises presage, process and product. A division between higher and lower order categories was made based on Ference Marton and Roger Saljo's deep and surface learning approaches. In two of the aspects of the assignment a focus on the text of the assignment and its specific requirements exemplified a surface approach; a focus beyond the assignment and its requirements into the wider economic environment in the search for meaning exemplified a higher order approach. In approach to/experience of group work a focus on using the group for expedience exemplified a lower order approach, and a focus on the synergistic benefits of group work exemplified a higher order approach. The majority of student responses were at the lower order level, although one cohort made up of local post-graduate students, was predominantly at the higher order levels in all three approaches/experiences. The matching of aspects of the assignment with the 3Ps provided some insights into the areas in which academics could exert some influence to assist students to achieve qualitatively better outcomes.
