Troubleshooting exercises using circuit simulator software: support for deep learning in the study of electronic circuits
Creators: name: Banky, George
name: Wong, Kwong K.
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This paper reports on a pilot research project that investigated the use of an electronic circuit simulation software, Multisim 2001 from Electronics Workbench (tm), and troubleshooting exercises in the study of introductory digital and analogue electronics in a tertiary institution. The ultimate aim of this pilot study was to investigate the levels of higher order learning that may have been achieved by the students while (i) using such software to observe correctly operating simulated circuits, (ii) attempting to simulate described faulty circuit behaviour by introducing defects into the virtual components in order to troubleshoot the badly behaving circuit. An active learning environment was created in a computer laboratory where the students, under academic supervision, worked alone on their desktop computers. At each stage of this process the students’ results were communally discussed with their alternative solutions demonstrated to all attendees on a data projector screen. To find out the level of higher order learning that may have occurred with this learning design, students were asked, while completing the tasks, to respond to survey questions. The questions were constructed with reference to the higher level abilities in Bloom’s cognitive domain taxonomy. This paper also reports on an analysis of answers to the survey questions to reveal whether students have (i) applied the higher level abilities in the cognitive domains of Bloom, (ii) gained deeper understanding of the material and (iii) took part in active learning.

Blut im Tausch für Demokratie: Der Kampf um eine neue Verfassung in Nepal 1990
Creators: name: Gaenszle, Martin
Publisher: name: Internationales Asienforum
Year: 2017

description: In "the only Hindu kingdom of the world", Nepal, radical political changes of a peculiar kind occurred in 1990: within a year a carefully planned "People’s Movement" not only brought about the overthrow of the so-called "partyless Panchayat system" but also the drafting and eventual enactment of a new constitution which transferred the sovereign powers to the people while at the same time reaffirming (and redefining) the institution of monarchy. The author, who witnessed this process as a resident in Kathmandu, describes the dynamics of the movement, which was launched in a nonviolent, Gandhian spirit but was answered with brute force by the police. After events finally escalated in a bloody massacre in front of the royal palace, where many demonstrators were shot, the king yielded, lifted the ban on political parties and established an interim government which had the task of drafting a new constitution and preparing free and fair elections. Since - in accordance with the old constitution - the king still had all sovereign powers until the promulgation of the new consitution, the interim government, representing the interests of the movement, dependend on the goodwill of the palace. Thus, in the absence of a popular mandate through elections, the government’s legitimacy - and with it that of the new constitution - remained ambivalent. In this situation popular notions of self-sacrifice (balidān) and martyrdom played an important role to fill the gap.

Südasiens Armen helfen - aber wie? Über Probleme und (begrenzte) Möglichkeiten ländlicher Regionalentwicklung

Year: 2017

description: In South Asia we have witnessed various rural development programmes during the last decades which have more or less completely failed to achieve one of their main targets, namely the eradication of poverty. The positive impacts of non-governmental organizations engaged in "rural poverty eradication programmes" depend on outside resources, both in terms of material and bargaining power, which are typically not linked to the dominant structures of the region concerned, i.e. the results achieved are often rather transitory. Yet, despite their limitations, such programmes and their related agencies receive growing public and academic attention in first and third world countries. This is due to the fact that they legitimize "good fortune" and make us once again believe that poverty can be overcome by "target-specific" programmes without questioning its socio-structural and global context as well.

description: When the British annexed the North Indian Doab at the beginning of the 19th century the land was said to be exhausted due to war, the previous indigenous anarchy and, above all, the inefficiency of Indian agriculture. But the Report of the Revenue Commissioners in the Ceded and Conquered Provinces of 1807/08 proved the contrary. The economic situation in the countryside was, in general, stable, especially in the riverine areas. The Doab, once the core of the Mughal Empire, was still a major agricultural region in North India. British rule on Indian soil changed the situation within a few decades. Besides the well-known effects of British revenue policy in India, the transformation of the indigenous agricultural system was another main reason. The extension of the cash crop area, accompanied by an increase in the population up to 1830, led to a proportional decrease in per capita food production. The third reason is the social deprivation of the rural population due to the alienation of customary rights, landed property and the destruction of tribal structures. To a large extent Ahirs, Gujars, Jats and Rajputs lost a great many of their former social and economic positions. This mainly happened along the Jumna and the Ganges, the hinterland being less affected by this development. After 40 years of British rule the Doab was economically impoverished, the soil exhausted and a large part of the population deprived.

Max Weber and the Sociology of Buddhism
Creators: name: Bechert, Heinz
Publisher: name: Internationales Asienforum
Year: 2017

description: Max Weber’s assessment of primitive Buddhism proves on the whole, as seen from the present-day perspective, to have been surprisingly correct. It is therefore able to serve as starting-point for a survey of the sociology of Buddhism. In this context, a discussion of Weber’s sources is added. Also largely still pertinent today is Weber’s description of the factors that caused the "transformation" of an old "soteriology for intellectuals" confined to a spiritual é1ite, into a religion of the masses. His assessment of the person and position of Aśoka is basically accurate, though details need to be revised; he does not differentiate between the historical Aśoka and the one portrayed in later Theravaḍa tradition. However, his treatment of the later development of Buddhism in the land of its birth, India, remained - true to the state of research at the time - rather tentative and unsatisfying. On the whole, however, the need to refine terminology becomes clear, something that might meaningfully occur on the basis of Weber’s work.

description: Professional identity, the reconciliation of personal and professional selves, is an ongoing task of professionalisation and impacts the workforce at personal, interpersonal and profession levels. By exploring dietetic professional identity through autoethnography, life histories and experiences of being a dietitian, I found we bring personal identity as narratives of self to our professional lives. These narratives of self reflect personal attributes as well as family attitudes, beliefs and values, and their broader influences. Strong narratives of self, aspects of agency (self-efficacy), strengthen professional identity and facilitate resistance to regulation by dominant discourses and role expectations that can promote practice innovation.

description: We report on the formation of novel turbulent coherent structures in a long cavity semiconductor laser near the lasing threshold. Experimentally, the laser emits a series of power dropouts within a roundtrip and the number of dropouts per series depends on a set of parameters including the bias current. At fixed parameters, the drops remain dynamically stable, repeating over many roundtrips. By reconstructing the laser electric field in the case where the laser emits one dropout per round trip and simulating its dynamics using a time-delayed model, we discuss the reasons for long-term sustainability of these solutions. We suggest that the observed dropouts are closely related to the coherent structures of the cubic complex Ginzburg-Landau equation.

description: Amidst the rapid environmental change occurring in northern marine environments, baseline ecological knowledge is essential for implementing effective management measures. Through the development of an adaptive marine management initiative, called Imappivut, the Nunatsiavut government has prioritized various marine species and habitats of cultural, ecological, and economic importance for dedicated research. Among these priorities are two iconic fish species, iKaluk / Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus) and ogak / Greenland cod (Gadus ogac), valued highly throughout communities in Nunatsiavut for supporting Inuit subsistence and economic opportunities. Despite rich local ecological insights, regional data on these species and their habitat associations in the changing marine environment are limited. Recognizing the importance of further understanding these species, this study describes and maps the seafloor habitats occupied by these fish and investigates the ecological and environmental relationships within these habitats. Using local harvester fishing locations, acoustic telemetry and video surveys, chapter 2 assesses the habitat use of tagged iKaluk during their marine residency period, while gathering baseline ecological knowledge on the available seafloor habitats throughout Nain, Nunatsiavut. Chapter 3 employs a habitat mapping approach within and around local ogak fishing locations to produce a full-coverage habitat map of species assemblages across Nain’s nearshore marine environment. The research integrated traditional ecological knowledge with Western scientific methods, offering insights into critical habitats and aiding conservation efforts amid climate change challenges in Nunatsiavut. Together, the findings of this research established a baseline understanding of the seafloor habitats in Nain's marine waters and their association with two culturally important fish species.

Whose conflict? Copyright, creators and cultural institutions
Creators: name: Kenyon, Andrew T.
name: Wright, Robin
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Copyright can easily be seen through a lens of conflict. When considering histories of copyright legislation, observations such as that by Eva Hemmungs Wirten ring true: polarised arguments propel the copyright wars. They are wars of 'sound and fury' in which analytical reviews of policy options may carry very little weight in law reform. Academic analyses set out varied and often nuanced positions on copyright; some have highlighted concerns about copyright owners controlling access to material through digital communications, others have doubted that digital developments have such significance, holding to a different view of copyright's promotion of public interests. The future, present and history of copyright are highly political matters. As far as subtle analysis exists in the academic literature, it is less evident within law reform. There, claims can be made in blunter, more clearly strategic, terms. Metaphors, especially related to property and piracy, are routinely deployed in attempts to generate politically persuasive claims for reform. As Matthew Rimmer has recounted, the conflict extends to public demonstrations such as those over MGM Studios Inc v Grokster Ltd: One could well see how debates might 'degenerate into name-calling' or form 'hostile camps'. This article explores one instance of disagreement about copyright, while attempting to avoid that fate. In Part II, it analyses the views of cultural institutions and creators as seen in Australian law reform. In Part III it compares those positions with fieldwork into the views of copyright held within cultural institutions and creative sectors. The research suggests that some copyright creators understand their interests differently from those generally seen in law reform debates. They appear to support some uses by public cultural or collecting institutions---archives, galleries, libraries and museums---that go beyond the limitations and exceptions of existing copyright law. Although that claim should not be especially surprising, it is to a large degree absent from existing law reform. While not all creators hold this view of cultural institutions, some clearly do. As explored in Part IV, this article suggests there would be value in mechanisms to facilitate greater use of copyright material by cultural institutions. While options could include further law reform and the continued development of voluntary collective licensing, options also include direct agreement with creators, at least for institutions' future collection activities.

description: Background: Energy excess, low fruit and vegetable intake and other suboptimal dietary habits contribute to an increased poor health and the burden of disease in males. However the best way to engage males into nutrition programs remains unclear. This review provides a critical evaluation of the nature and effectiveness of nutrition interventions that target the adult male population. Methods A search for full-text publications was conducted using The Cochrane Library; Web of Science; SCOPUS; MEDLINE and CINAHL. Studies were included if 1) published from January 1990 to August 2011 and 2) male only studies (≥18 years) or 3) where males contributed to >90% of the active cohort. A study must have described, (i) a significant change (p<0.05) over time in an objective measure of body weight, expressed in kilograms (kg) OR Body Mass Index (BMI) OR (ii) at least one significant change (p<0.05) in a dietary intake measure to qualify as effective. To identify emerging patterns within the research a descriptive process was used. Results Nine studies were included. Sample sizes ranged from 53 to 5042 male participants, with study durations ranging from 12 weeks to 24 months. Overlap was seen with eight of the nine studies including a weight management component whilst six studies focused on achieving changes in dietary intake patterns relating to modifications of fruit, vegetable, dairy and total fat intakes and three studies primarily focused on achieving weight loss through caloric restriction. Intervention effectiveness was identified for seven of the nine studies. Five studies reported significant positive changes in weight (kg) and/or BMI (kg/m2) changes (p≤0.05). Four studies had effective interventions (p<0.05) targeting determinants of dietary intake and dietary behaviours and/or nutritional intake. Intervention features, which appeared to be associated with better outcomes, include the delivery of quantitative information on diet and the use of self-monitoring and tailored feedback. Conclusion Uncertainty remains as to the features of successful nutrition interventions for males due to limited details provided for nutrition intervention protocols, variability in mode of delivery and comparisons between delivery modes as well as content of information provided to participants between studies. This review offers knowledge to guide researchers in making informed decisions on how to best utilise resources in interventions to engage adult males while highlighting the need for improved reporting of intervention protocols.

Year: 2024

description: This Changes Everything is a bildungsroman of motherhood, explored as a memoir-in-essays. The collection focuses on the universal rites of passage each parent experiences, and the unique way these shared milestones – the sticker shock that comes when realizing American childcare is unaffordable, the first time you lose a child, the first time your child is sick and you cannot heal them, the last time your last baby sleeps in a crib – shaped my own life.

Motherhood as a claimed identity is an organizing principle of the collection, and the essays move chronologically through my life as a newly pregnant woman to a young mother of two. Ann Patchett’s These Precious Days, Adrienne Rich’s Of Woman Born, and Rachel Cusk’s classic A Life’s Work are foundational texts for what I hope to achieve, and I am continually inspired by the way writers Camille T. Dungy, Louise Erdrich and Kate Baer render the intricacies and complexities and joy of motherhood on the page

Evaluating development programs for parents of 0-4 year olds: impacting parental stress and confidence
Creators: name: Hill, Anne
name: Hill, Railton M.
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The paper argues for particular multi-dimensional measures of the constructs 'parental stress' and 'parental confidence' as appropriate criteria for evaluation of the impact of development programming for parents of 0 – 4 year old children. Limited research has been reported concerning the impact of education based parenting interventions in alleviating parental stress and building parental confidence, consistent with the limited amount of effective evaluation reported overall in the area of parenting programming. We discuss the conceptual basis and measurement of parental stress and parental confidence, and propose a simple integrative model of parenting development. It is suggested that the constructs can be operationalized in a manner which harmonizes many extant variables and measures, taking in dimensions of 'cognitive', 'affective' and 'conative' domains. We further propose a broad program of research incorporating aspects of best practice, aimed at evaluation of the impact of education based parenting development programs on levels of parental stress and confidence. The paper builds both on evidence from the literature, and on a preliminary series of focus group interviews conducted with parents.

title: Building Resilience in mothers caring for neurodivergent children: A Multi-Framework Approach using Personal Resources and Self-Regulation
Creators: name: Barnes, A
Publisher: name: Liverpool John Moores University
Year: 2025

description: In the UK, approximately one in seven people may be neurodivergent. Parent caregivers of neurodivergent children frequently experience elevated stress, anxiety, affiliate stigma, isolation, and reduced social support, which negatively impact their homelife, careers and workforce participation. Employing conservation of resources (COR) theory and regulatory mode, this PhD study sought practical approaches to improve mothers' resilience and coping mechanisms. Two research gaps were identified: the associations between COR and regulatory mode, and the potential application of these theories in supporting mothers who care for neurodivergent children. To address these issues, cross-sectional, semi-structured in-depth qualitative interviews were conducted with 19 mothers. The results identified links between COR and regulatory mode. Data and results identified links between COR and regulatory mode. Key resources and four novel resource passageways, including a conceptual opening passageway, were determined. The study contradicts previous findings on long-term time investments and validates the relevance of the crossover model and broaden-and-build mechanism for this cohort. Practical strategies for supporting mothers caring for neurodivergent children are identified. Findings both extend and challenge the COR and regulatory mode frameworks. Proposals to support parents of neurodivergent children expand the use of the two frameworks, and findings add to COR and regulatory mode literature by understanding how these parents handle life stressors. The outcomes potentially aid other caregivers and employers by offering targeted guidance and interventions to bolster resilience and coping strategies.
Entrepreneurial marketing: a comparative case study of 42below vodka and Penderyn whisky

description: Entrepreneurial marketing has gained popularity in the entrepreneurship and marketing disciplines recently. The success of ventures pursuing non-traditional marketing approaches can be attributed to entrepreneurial marketing practices. Despite the multitude of marketing concepts and models, there are notable successes that deviate from these and are labelled “entrepreneurial.” The purpose of this paper is to explore entrepreneurial marketing approaches used by companies and their impact on the success of marketing activities. We use the seven core dimensions of entrepreneurial marketing developed by Morris, Schindehutte, and La Forge (2002) and apply these to two spirit company cases: 42Below Vodka and Penderyn Whisky.

description: Actinic keratoses (AK) are common lesions in light‐skinned individuals that can potentially progress to cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC). Both conditions may be associated with significant morbidity and constitute a major disease burden, especially among the elderly. To establish an evidence‐based framework for clinical decision making, the guideline “actinic keratosis and cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma” was developed using the highest level of methodology (S3) according to regulations issued by the Association of Scientific Medical Societies in Germany (AWMF). The guideline is aimed at dermatologists, general practitioners, ENT specialists, surgeons, oncologists, radiologists and radiation oncologists in hospitals and office‐based settings as well as other medical specialties involved in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with AK and cSCC. The guideline is also aimed at affected patients, their relatives, policy makers and insurance funds. In the first part, we will address aspects relating to diagnosis, interventions for AK, care structures and quality‐of‐care indicators.

description: The comparably low education level of Chinese skilled workers and managers influences to a certain degree the successful or unsuccessful realization of economic reforms in the PRC. This is also the case as regards foreign companies investing in the Chinese market. Insufficiently trained Chinese workers and managers means a costly staffing policy with long assignments for expatriates from Europe or the US.

Entwicklungskonzepte in Vietnam - Theorie und Realität
Creators: name: Pfeifer, Claudia
Publisher: name: Internationales Asienforum

description: After achieving political independence Vietnam tried to initiate social change by revolutionary means. What conceptions did the leaders of the country make use of? To what extent did they succed in putting them into practice? Comparing theory and reality proves that by 1975 social changes were characterized by a search for an independent national development strategy. But after 1975 the economic strategy of the ruling party failed. Only after 1986 did it again start to take reality more seriously into consideration. Taking into account the collapse of socialism in Eastern Europe the development in Vietnam once more raises the question of theory and the social model. As before the political leadership of Vietnam still relies on a noncapitalist concept of development although social reality has reduced it to absurdity. Implementation of a market economy - will that be the solution for Vietnam? Will this be a more appropriate response to the special quality of the relationship between the market and the state, between the individual and society within this Southeast Asian country?

Ein Birmanischer Weg zur Demokratie? Zu den Chancen politischen Wandels in einer "Orientalischen Despotie"
Creators: name: Rüland, Jürgen
Publisher: name: Internationales Asienforum
Year: 2017

description: The article briefly examines the reasons leading to the popular uprising in Burma in August 1988. Although Burma’s democracy movement was violently suppressed by an army coup, a discussion started among political observers as to what extent the uprising marked the beginning of a transition that will eventually lead to greater political liberties. While some observers took questionable "democratic" concessions granted by the military junta shortly after their seizure of power as an indicator for such a process, others argued that the uprising had mobilized large segments of the population to such an extent that a return to the status quo ante has become unthinkable. Applying a simple heuristic model that relates historical, political, socio-economic, ethnic, external and socio-cultural factors to the course of Burma’s political development, the article draws a gloomy picture of the country’s political future. Its political culture, ethnic polarization and unfavorable sociocultural constellations create almost insurmountable obstacles for a smooth transition to a more liberal political system. How thorny the way towards democratization in most developing countries actually is, may perhaps be best illustrated by the recent coup in neighboring Thailand, which - at least temporarily - has interrupted one of the more promising democratization processes in the Third World.

Trading Minorities in Southeast Asia: A Critical Self-Evaluation of Recent Research Findings
Creators: name: Evers, Hans-Dieter
Publisher: name: Internationales Asienforum
Year: 2017

description: The article reports on the results of a research project carried out by the Sociology of Development Research Centre, University of Bielefeld. Starting from the observation that trade in Southeast Asia is commonly carried out either by ethnic minorities or by women, several intensive and long-term field studies were conducted in Thailand, Singapore, and Indonesia. The studies concentrated on Chettiar money-lenders and traders in traditional Chinese products in Singapore, rice traders in Central Thailand, the Thai-Malaysian border trade, and Nepalese groups trading with Southeast Asia. On the basis of the research findings several hypotheses on the emergence and role of trading minorities in Southeast Asia are compared and evaluated. The "traders’ dilemma hypothesis", stressing the strategic use of cultural differences between traders and customers, was pin-pointed as the most viable explanatory paradigm.

title: Modular Verification of a Modular Specification: Behavioral Types as Program Logics
Creators: name: Kamburjan, Eduard
Publisher: name: UNSPECIFIED
Year: 2020

description: Verification of distributed systems is a challenging problem, especially if the distributed system allows entities to interact in multiple ways. The complexity of the task is mirrored in the complexity of the verification system. The design of such verification systems itself is a challenge on the theoretical level. The main engineering tool to handle complex systems is modularization. While modularity in the target system is exploited by verification systems, it is rarely applied to their theory. This thesis is a study of modularity in deductive verification with program logics and the main tool we introduce is the Behavioral Program Logic (BPL). As concurrency model we use Active Objects, because, for one, they allow multiple ways for entities to interact, for another, because their strong encapsulation enables modularization on the semantic level. Modularity is applied on multiple layers: • We present a modular, new Locally Abstract, Globally Concrete semantics for Active Objects, that allows us to sharply distinguish between local and global behavior. • We introduce a modular specification principle with object invariants, asynchronous method contracts, Effect Types and Session Types. Each of these specifications itself is modular and describes the behavior of an encapsulated entity. E.g., object invariants describe single objects, method contracts describe single methods, Session Types describe single methods in a protocol context. • We design a modular verification system with BPL. BPL allows one to design one logic per verification aspect, such as presence of object invariants, as well as interfacing with external static analyses, such as pointer analyses. BPL enables us not only the simple design of new program logics, it also allows reuse on the rule level: The calculi of all aspects are composed before being applied. For composition, we give a mostly automatic soundness argument for the composed rule. BPL has structural similarities with behavioral types, which simplify calculus design — the most prominent is that the calculus modifies program and specification in one step, after syntactically matching them. This is uncommon in other dynamic logics. The lack of modularity in verification of distributed systems and the need for a more structural approach in the design of program logics are identified as shortcomings of state-of-the-art approaches by applying existing tools to the FormbaR model of railway operations, the biggest verification study with Active Objects to date. This thesis concludes with a discussion that exemplifies how our approach can express and verify properties that were not possible before.
Indiens Elektronikpolitik und seine Exportpotentiale im Software-Bereich

description: Hindsight has demonstrated that the pessimistic assessments of the Indian computer industry in the 1970s and 1980s have proved false. Indeed, the development of computer electronics in India has become an example for other countries in the third world. In fact, Indian computer companies, who first presented themselves to the German market at the CeBiT in Hannover in 1989, have found themselves to be sought-after partners for cooperation with companies abroad. The development of the Indian computer industry has been spurred on by the relaxing of protectionist practices on the part of the Indian government. It has also sharpened competition in the domestic market, where a plethora of companies have been founded, many of them by Indian nationals who were previously employed in the United States. There, Indians have long been recognized as exceptional exponents of computer technology and especially as software engineers. Due to the fact that innovation in the computer industry is exceptionally swift and that each new stage of development leads to rapidly declining prices, it is not advisable to attempt to follow step by step the development path taken by industrial countries. Now Indian policy is taking the more promising approach of purchasing selected technology and adapting it to the special conditions of the country in order to diminish the technology gap. Isolated, self-made high tech cannot be competitive on the levels prevailing on the world markets.

Flexible Division of Labour on Family Farms in Northern Pakistan: A Report
Creators: name: Gerold, Agnes M.
Publisher: name: Internationales Asienforum
Year: 2017

description: This paper gives a short report on the sex-specific division of labour on the family farms of the village of Battakundi in the Upper-Kaghan Valley (North Pakistan). The corresponding investigations were carried out on behalf of the GTZ in 1987/88. Since then no fundamental changes have taken place there. In this area the sex-specific division of labour is partly rigid, partly flexible. The female labour-input, however, is also determined by the socio-economic characteristics of the individual farm and by external socio-economic factors, independent of the individual farm. Finally, nearly all the activities related to production are (also) carried out by women. Tending the animals, gardening and household chores are the almost exclusive prerogative of the women. However, irrespective of the socio-economic position of the farm, they are not integrated into the activities related to distribution, i.e. the market.

Finding focus and balance for contextual reviews in multidisciplinary academic design research
Creators: name: Melles, Gavin

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The contextual review of prior studies is a fundamental element of postgraduate research projects but is neither well-established nor fully accepted in design research. Moreover, by comparison to more established disciplines, design research projects are often situated in multiple contexts of use and meaning, such as education, industry, markets or specific social spheres. In achieving sufficient intellectual depth to warrant a claim to scholarship, students and supervisors must often negotiate a difficult trade off between the number and nature of sources deemed adequate for critical analysis and review. Achieving depth while maintaining the research focus is one of the 'wicked problems' for design research. This paper reviews the importance of maintaining scholarship in postgraduate design research where the contextual nature of projects demands interdisciplinary knowledge. It is complemented by an example of a recent applied design doctoral project illustrating the nature of the challenge.
