description: The paper outlines that ethics as a branch of philosophy is dealing continuously with the fundamental values of inner-human relations, studies the quality and the basis of the act or behavior which by moral perspective are good, bad, appropriate or wrong. More over in the last years we have witnessed that the world is facing new challenges and crisis in perception, conditioned by the fast development of science and new advanced technologies. In this instance, we in particular need to mention the information technology, which has become an integral part of our daily life. Again, the role of ethics is consistent in suggesting the proper use of technologies and in determining the right direction for human society development. Technologies and computers continue to integrate in to the educational process and increasingly are becoming an integral part of the education system. This trend has begun to be extended to primary and secondary education, but currently it is expressed at the university level. The paper underlines that the increasing public interest in ethics in professional life has highlighted the centrality and significance of ethics across different domains of public life including professional Educational Psychology. However, how do these societal trends along with the resurgence of interest in professional Ethics manifest themselves within the context of a practical Educational Psychology service and specifically for Psychology in Educational Establishments? What is the impact of the rapidly changing times on educational psychologists, the ethical issues they encounter and their decision-making? What do Educational Psychologists perceive as ethical issues in their practice? How do Educational Psychologists manage perceived ethical issues? Moreover, how can an Educational organization support its academic-scholarly staff? What support do Educational Psychologists want when faced with challenging situations? The present paper follows the professional and ethical standards required of an educational scientist researcher and practicing qualified academic persons.

description: This article analyzes various concepts regarding the efficiency of communicative competences for the purpose of socio-cultural integration . In addition, this article contains some of the results of our research, justifying the need to implement a Program for improving the communication skills from the perspective of the socio-cultural integration of adolescents . The experimental group consisted of 104 adolescents from pre-university educational institutions. Our understanding is that in order to cope with the rapid changes that are taking place in the world, it is necessary to approach the concept of education for sociocultural integration from a modern, broader perspective, with the role of making available to each student activities for optimizing the process of socio-cultural integration , focused on capitalizing on modern communication strategies, so that the student can discover the true values of diversity. From our perspective, advantageously placed as an observer, the teacher can greatly help the student by improving the communicative skills for the socio-cultural integration. In addition, due to the specificity of the educational environment, the difficulties of socio-cultural integration are rarely analyzed, and the multiculturalism analyzed only by the aspect of belonging to different ethnic groups, without having a methodology for assessing the level of socio-cultural integration or a Program for improving the communicative competences from the perspective of socio-cultural integration of students . In our vision, the supposed results of the research reside in the efficiency of the communicative competences for the sociocultural integration of the students who attend high school. The implementation of the Program of efficiency of the communicative and organizational competences from the perspective of the sociocultural integration of the adolescents ensures the prevention, the diminution and the overcoming of the difficulties of socio-cultural integration in the school environment; the application of the research results can be useful in the modernization of the school curricula in the intercultural context.

title: Investigation of the interaction between Ebola virus and the host
Creators: name: Garcia-Dorival, GI
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2016

description: Ebola viruses cause viral haemorrhagic fever in humans and non human primates. Due to the severity of their symptoms, the lack of an approved treatment or vaccine, and the mechanism of transmission, these viruses have been classified as containment level 4 (CL4) pathogens. In December 2013, an Ebola virus outbreak initiated in West Africa, which lasted more than two years, and has been considered the worst outbreak in the history of the Ebola viruses. More than twenty-seven thousand people had a positive diagnosis of infection with more than eleven thousand confirmed dead. This outbreak highlights not only the urgent necessity for new treatments and vaccines against this virus but also that there is still a large knowledge gap for Ebola viruses compared to other pathogens. This thesis focuses on using high resolution approaches to characterise the interaction between the Zaire ebolavirus species (EBOV) and the host. The work focuses on using high resolution sequencing to characterise the evolution of EBOV throughout the outbreak in West Africa and also in adapting to grow in a novel host. The work also focuses on two viral proteins that are critical to the virus life cycle. The VP24 protein that is an interferon antagonist and the nucleoprotein (NP) which encapsidates the viral genome. Quantitative proteomics was used to identify host cell proteins that interacted with these viral proteins and inhibitors were used to ablate cellular protein function and monitor the effect on viral biology. The thesis is written in the style of ‘by publication’ and the publications associated with this work are reproduced in the Appendix.

The Ubiquitous View
Creators: name: Ahrens, Jörn
Publisher: name: On_Culture
Year: 2018

description: The _Essay discusses the relation between surveillance and imagination. It unfolds the argument that surveillance as a form of (political) oppression is necessarily centering on a decisionistic act of the individual who has to opt for deviant or conformist behavior under conditions of obvious social and political surveillance. Today, however, especially due to processes of an ongoing digitalization, surveillance is becoming a mode of self-expression, experiencing a shift towards its habituation and normalization within social reality. This development marks a clear difference from the classic habituation of surveillance as estranged, governmental practice. What seems to remain intact with regard to contemporary concepts of surveillance is the importance of the view and the meaning of surveillance as a politics of the image and the imaginary.

Phase I of the project started from 10th of May 2015 till the 13th of July 2015. DMAOnline is being developed to cover the needs of various stakeholders by bringing research data together from a variety of sources and systems. It provides data at the right time to the right set of people, providing them with information on compliance monitoring, key intervention points to enhance their compliance, develop new or on-going business case development (e.g. procurement of storage infrastructure), and to help them provide support services at the point of need. DMAOnline has received positive feedback both nationally and internationally, with a set of early adopters and beta testers already in place. A strong API model and sustainability/scalability considerations built in the dashboard allow us to move this into a national shared SaaS/cloud based service quickly.

description: Why should we talk about culture, when we want to understand ‘surveillance’? The following is a brief sketch towards an answer to this question. It has two parts: first, it presents and discusses how the term ‘culture’ is used within Surveillance Studies, an emerging transdisciplinary field combining research from social and political sciences as well as cultural studies and the humanities, and highlights the works of Torin Monahan and David Lyon in particular. Second, it puts forward a set of arguments why any reflection on surveillance must not ignore the cultural perspective.

Commercial emails contain a high density of third-party trackers.

description: The synthesis of trinuclear Sn(IV) complexes 5a–h – prepared in a one-pot reaction of 2-amino-4-R-phenol (R=H, Me, Cl, NO2), 2-pyridine-carboxaldehyde, 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid (trimesic acid, H3BTC), and dibutyl and dioctyltin oxides – is described. These compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, mass spectrometry, IR, and multinuclear NMR spectroscopy. The structures of 5a and 5b were also determined by single-crystal X-ray analysis. The trinuclear tin system is formed by bridges through the carboxylate moieties. The metal centers are seven-coordinate and the coordination polyhedron of tin can be depicted as distorted pentagonal-bipyramidal (PBP), where the equatorial plane consists of three oxygens and two nitrogens and the organic groups occupy the axial positions. The work presented here combines the useful properties of Schiff bases and H3BTC ligands in the formation of organotin(IV) complexes, and investigates the likely antioxidant (DPPH and TBARS) and anti-inflammatory activity (TPA) of the new substances.

description: This article introduces the concept of authoritarian backsliding as a class of strategies for the concentration of incumbent political power in hybrid regimes. Such actions include manipulating elections, violating civil liberties, creating an extremely uneven playing field for the opposition, and reducing the institutional constraints on executive power. While often falling short of a full regime change, backsliding can significantly alter the level of political competition in a country and reduce the quality of its political life. This article develops a theoretically-grounded strategy to identify and measure backsliding events since 1989, showing that they have been much more common than is typically appreciated. The article also shows the utility of the concept of backsliding for better understanding regime stability. Using cross-national analysis of backsliding events from 1989–2004, we find that threats such as opposition electoral gains or economic crises in resource-dependent regimes create incentives for authoritarian backsliding.

description: Ethnic fragmentation is largely presumed to be bad for democracy. However, many African countries belie this claim, as democracy has recently sprouted in several of its multiethnic states. We argue that African countries that have demographic patterns where the largest ethnopolitical group is at least a near-majority and is simultaneously divided into nested subgroups produce Africa's most democratic multiethnic societies. This large-divided-group pattern, which has gone largely unnoticed by previous scholars, facilitates transitions to democracy from authoritarian rule. The large group's size foments the broad-based multiethnic social agitation needed to pose a genuine threat to a ruling autocrat, while its internal divisions reassure minorities that they will not suffer permanent exclusion via ethnic dominance under an eventual democracy. We support our claim with cross-national quantitative evidence on ethnic fragmentation and regime type.
Surveillance and Shame in Dave Eggers’s The Circle
Creators: name: Wasihun, Betiel
Publisher: name: On_Culture
Year: 2018

description: Shame is a complex and controversial emotion, but there are commonly accepted notions of shame which revolve around questions regarding exposure, appearance and visibility. As Jonathan Finn notes, through digitalization and camera surveillance in public spaces, surveillance has become a “way of seeing, a way of being” (2012). Thus, the question of visibility — or invisibility — is as inherent to the concept of surveillance as it is to that of shame. Social media users tend to contribute to disempowering exhibition by sharing their personal information in the online public domain. In other words: today’s “Funopticon” (Lewis 2017) is all about self-exposure. Shame, on the other hand, is generally perceived as an affect that emerges from fear of exposure. But how sustainable is this notion of shame in light of contemporary digital ‘surveillance culture’ (Lyon 2017)? I will examine shame against the backdrop of digital surveillance in Dave Eggers’s The Circle (2013), while also drawing comparisons to our contemporary condition in the culture of surveillance.

The Securopolis
Creators: name: Rogers, Peter
Publisher: name: On_Culture
Year: 2018

description: This paper explores how modern urban life is being re-assembled into a ‘securopolis.’ The securopolis is a form of urban life in which humans enact a ‘watchfulness’ (i.e. surveillance) combined with a ‘readiness for the worse’ (i.e. resilience) which is embedded into the physical and affective (emotional) fabric of the urban. The securopolis is more than a neat model of a safe, secure and sustainable city; it is a powerful influence on the underlying habitus of urban space, culture and governance. To explore this phenomenon the interplay of surveillance and resilience with the perceived needs: to be safe, to improve security and to improve sustainability are unpacked. I argue that this reconfiguration of the urban results in a suite of emergent (and ongoing) challenges; shifting the balance underpinning our traditional concepts of democratic community and ‘publicness.’ These tensions are (re)configured differently to those so well described by recent research into urban gentrification, militarization and the reimagined boundaries of public/private space. In order to get to grips with them a different approach, with a rethinking of ‘affective governance’ is required.

The Order of Things and People
Creators: name: Ivasiuc, Ana
Publisher: name: On_Culture
Year: 2018

description: Socially produced security concerns underlie the proliferation of urban surveillance practices through informal policing. Neighborhood watch and neighborhood patrol initiatives have recently mushroomed in several countries in Europe, spurred by a culture of insecurity that has continuously and globally grown since the seventies. Such practices signal the intensification of struggles for social control and order in the urban space, but also the capillarization of surveillance, devolved from waning state institutions onto the citizenry. Neighborhood patrols police the urban landscape, blame suspect Others for spoiling it, and enforce a particular aesthetic order which, in turn, legitimizes social hierarchies along nation, race, gender, and class lines. Through an empirically informed analysis of the security practices enacted by a neighborhood patrol in the peripheries of Rome, I trace the genealogies and cultural tenets of what I call vertical non-state surveillance as a form of informal policing of subaltern Others in the urban space. I explore the ways in which this form of surveillance meets neo-liberal conceptions of citizenship, becoming productive of new subjectivities and socialities, and argue that such forms of surveillance need to be linked with the political economies and the materialities of the urban spaces in which they emerge.

Reclaiming Possession: A Critique of the Discourse of Dispossession in Indigenous Studies (Corrected Version)
Creators: name: Reid, Julian
Publisher: name: On_Culture
Year: 2018

description: Indigeneities are widely constructed as emanating not only from the experience of dispossession in the historical past, but as ways of being in the world which are grounded positively in dispossession, and which in being so offer themselves as antagonistic alternatives to Western ways of being, grounded aggressively as they are in possessiveness, of land, of self, and of others. This essay argues that the opposite is true; that the present condition is one of being governed by regimes of power the strategy of which depends on the production of dispossessed and non-possessive subjects. The task is to reject these discourses of entrapment and reclaim possession for ourselves. In doing so much can yet be learned from minor traditions of thought and practice among indigenous peoples, both mythic and real, which, in contrast to today’s dominant discourses on indigeneity, insist on the integral importance of possession as a foundation for political subjectivity. Whether indigenous or non-indigenous, the task is the same; avoid being trapped by power, learn instead to hunt power, and cultivate the ultimate freedoms of autonomy and self-possession.

Indigenous Decolonization of Western Notions of Time and History through Literary and Visual Arts
Creators: name: Rose, Diana C.

Publisher: name: On_Culture
Year: 2018

description: Since the early colonial period, indigenous peoples around the globe have been framed as being anchored in the past with the intent to leave them outside of history. This meant assigning lesser value to their forms of life and thought than to those of the West. In response to this strategic misrepresentation, indigenous peoples reached for their own notions of history and time. Thus, history and time become a highly contested terrain. In this essay, we explore some of the strategies used by two indigenous communities to decolonize Western representations of these groups. One of the case studies looks at how, in his 1958 novel Things Fall Apart, Igbo Anglophone writer Chinua Achebe deploys narrative time to challenge the Hegelian notion of sub-Saharan Africa as being ‘outside of history.’ On the other side of the globe, contemporary Maya artists use their ancestral philosophies of time that included the coexistence of multiple temporalities, as a way to challenge the universality of Western ideas of progressive time, and thus of Western constructions of history. Through the literary and the visual, the Igbo and the Maya decolonize normative representations of time in their efforts to re-inscribe their place in global history.

Creators: name: Doube, Wendy

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Central to discussions about NBN-enabled applications and services is the potential for innovative ways of learning, particularly in relation to online and interactive education. This paper reports on trials of the collaborative software tool Adobe Connect in NSW schools, and reports on two field studies for Zoo Connect, an interactive, multimedia, remotely-delivered class lesson. Results from the trials support those who advocate the NBN as a means to extend classroom learning, and provide evidence that may prompt educators to transition to virtual classrooms sooner rather than later. Recommendations are made for the wider development of NBN-style education programs, regardless of whether or not they fall into the early rollout category/regions, in order to fast track innovation, encourage educators and assist communities to better envisage how the NBN will impact the education domain.

description: The synthesis of trinuclear Sn(IV) complexes 5a−h, prepared in a one-pot reaction of 2-amino-4-R-phenol (R = H, Me, Cl, NO2), 2-pyridine-carboxaldehyde, 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid (trimesic acid, H3BTC) and dibutyl- and dioctyltin oxides, is described. These compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, mass spectrometry, IR and multinuclear NMR spectroscopy. The structures of 5a and 5b were also determined by single-crystal X-ray analysis. The trinuclear tin system is formed by bridges through the carboxylate moieties. The metal centers are seven-coordinate and the coordination polyhedron of tin can be depicted as distorted pentagonal-bipyramidal (PBP), where the equatorial plane consists of three oxygens and two nitrogens and the organic groups occupy the axial positions. The work presented here combines the useful properties of Schiff bases and H3BTC ligands in formation of organotin(IV) complexes and investigates the likely antioxidant (DPPH and TBARS) and antiinflammatory activity (TPA) of the new substances.

Earthly ​​Indi​geneity
Creators: name: Ricca, Mario
Publisher: name: On_Culture
Year: 2018

description: In any form, ‘being indigenous’ has a relational signification. Therefore, what consequences might there be for a conceptualization of indigenism that recognizes the commonality of our being indigenous to the Earth? Could we think of each instance of this common tendency to indigenize the Earth as a vernacularization of a universal inclination to produce indigeneity? In this vein, could we infer that indigenization is nothing but the spatial projection of a universal human inclination to engender culture? These questions and their implications could have a substantial impact on how we conceive of the relationship between indigeneity and space. Taking the idea of ‘earthly indigeneity’ seriously means reading every place as an epitome of processive threads interwoven through other places and, potentially, originating from every part of the earth. If so considered, the ‘fact’ of indigeneity becomes the result of a dynamic process carried out through a spectrum of planetary semiotic connections, and guided by responsible cognitive action. ‘Ought’ and ‘is,’ the cognitive and the ethical, materiality and immateriality, local and global, can be seen to intermingle within indigeneity in a transformative orbit around the continually self-respatializing life of culture that could be, semiotically speaking, a veritable form of ‘renewable energy.’

Making Indigeneity
Creators: name: Meloni, Greca N.
Publisher: name: On_Culture
Year: 2018

description: A new nationalistic concept of ‘autochthony’ has developed in Sardinia in recent decades, which has progressively intertwined with various territorial matters in seeking to affirm an alleged biological authenticity of Sardinia and Sardinians. As a consequence of this sentiment, safeguarding the biodiversity of Sardinia has become a way to ‘purify’ the island from species that are considered symbols of the alleged subordinate role into which Sardinians have been confined since the Savoy regime. In this paper I discuss the role of beekeepers, focusing on how different notions of the autochthonous are used to shape the edges of territoriality. For the Sardinian beekeeper, working within a territory means becoming part of it, linking one’s own history to the history of the place. As such, working with local honeybees is a way to work with the tradition of su connotu (the known). Finally, I show the differences in discourses of territoriality and spatiality among Sardinian beekeepers and how these differences determine a new category of indigeneity that contrasts with the policies of cultural homogenization aiming to build an ‘authentic’ Sardinia.

My teacher is an android: Engaging learners through an android application
Creators: name: Walker, Lyndon
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This concise paper describes work-in-progress research that examines the development of an Android 'app' for a topic in a first year Statistics paper. The Android platform was chosen as Android devices are the top-selling mobile devices, outselling Apple iPods/iPhones/iPads. In addition, the operating system is open-source and development can be done through the Android AppInventor programme, accelerating the development process by providing a point and click interface to bypass much of the programming. The paper briefly examines the literature relating to student engagement and the use of mobile devices in teaching, before describing the process of developing the app. It is concluded by describing future research that will be presented at the conference.

Year: 2024

description: Biological systems are, by their very nature, adaptive. However, the meta-heuristic search algorithms inspired by them have mainly been applied to static problems (i.e., problems that do not change while they are being solved). Recently, a greater body of work has been completed on the newer meta-heuristics, particularly ant colony optimisation, particle swarm optimisation and extremal optimisation. This survey paper examines representative works and methodologies of these techniques on this class of problems. Beyond this we outline the limitations of these methods.

description: One of the most commonly used methods for modeling multivariate time series is the vector autoregressive model (VAR). VAR is generally used to identify lead, lag, and contemporaneous relationships describing Granger causality within and between time series. In this article, we investigate the VAR methodology for analyzing data consisting of multilayer time series that are spatially interdependent. When modeling VAR relationships for such data, the dependence between time series is both a curse and a blessing. The former because it requires modeling the between time-series correlation or the contemporaneous relationships which may be challenging when using likelihood-based methods. The latter because the spatial correlation structure can be used to specify the lead–lag relationships within and between time series, within and between layers. To address these challenges, we propose an L1\L2 regularized likelihood estimation method. The lead, lag, and contemporaneous relationships are estimated using an efficient algorithm that exploits sparsity in the VAR structure, accounts for the spatial dependence, and models the error dependence. We consider a case study to illustrate the applicability of our method. In the supplementary materials available online, we assess the performance of the proposed VAR model and compare it with existing methods within a simulation study.

description: Many industrial experiments involve some factors whose levels are harder to set than others. The best way to deal with these is to plan the experiment carefully as a split-plot, or more generally a multistratum, design. Several different approaches for constructing split-plot type response surface designs have been proposed in the literature since 2001, which has allowed experimenters to make better use of their resources by using more efficient designs than the classical balanced ones. One of these approaches, the stratum-by-stratum strategy has been shown to produce designs that are less efficient than locally D-optimal designs. An improved stratum-by-stratum algorithm is given, which, though more computationally intensive than the old one, makes better use of the advantages of this approach, that is, it can be used for any structure and does not depend on prior estimates of the variance components. This is shown to be almost as good as the locally optimal designs in terms of their own criteria and more robust across a range of criteria. Supplementary materials for this article are available online.
