The social distribution of internet use in Australia : a case study
Creators: name: Willis, Suzanne
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The spread of the Internet in advanced Western countries has been rapid and uneven, resulting in some alarming diagnoses of a 'digital divide': an allegedly widening gap between those with access to information and communication technologies and the accompanying advantages, and those without access. However, these diagnoses of a 'digital divide' are seldom based on comprehensive analyses of the new information and communication technologies and their social diffusion. This study analyses the diffusion of the Internet in Australia within a broad theoretical framework covering technological and social change associated with diffusion of the Internet, and especially the changes in social hierarchy and privilege. The study is based on empirical analysis of Australian survey data on Internet use and on in-depth interviews of Internet users. The principal focus is a critical evaluation of the 'digital divide' thesis: the study considers the pattern and dynamics of Internet diffusion in Australia, the main social correlates of Internet adoption and use, and the social impacts of differential Internet use on the distribution of advantage and disadvantage. Although the study considers the process and consequences of Internet diffusion in Australia, the results can be generalised to other advanced societies in which Internet diffusion follows a similar pattern. The main findings of this study contradict the popular conceptions of a 'digital divide' in Internet use in Australia. Internet use is becoming more widespread in Australia, with current patterns of use now crossing the boundaries between occupational classes, gender, and age groups. There is little evidence of any social 'divide' forming or any significant accumulation of privilege and disadvantage around Internet use. However, inequalities in access to the Internet, and the related advantages, persist on the basis of age, gender, education, income and occupational class, although they resemble 'digital stratification' rather than a 'digital divide'. Further, the analyses of Internet practices reveal the key roles of cultural, social and economic capital in distributing advantages associated with Internet-related activities in both the workplace and the home.Cultural capital in particular appears as a central stratifying factor. Diffusion of the Internet occurs primarily within specific (techno) habitus, but also crosses between habitus along the lines marked by the dispersion of cultural capital.

description: We present some of the High Dynamic Range Imaging activities developed around the coronagraphic test-bench of the Laboratoire A. H. Fizeau (Nice). They concern research and development of an Apodized Lyot Coronagraph (ALC) for the VLT-SPHERE instrument and experimental results from our testbed working in the visible domain. We determined by numerical simulations the specifications of the apodizing filter and searched the best technological process to manufacture it. We present the results of the experimental tests on the first apodizer prototype in the visible and the resulting ALC nulling performances. The tests concern particularly the apodizer characterization (average transmission radial profile, global reflectivity and transmittivity in the visible), ALC nulling performances compared with expectations, sensitivity of the ALC performances to misalignments of its components.

description: The purpose of this investigation was to compare the effectiveness of the traditional (T.), programmed with loop films to present skills (P.), and traditional with the Video Tape Recorder (V.T.R.) methods of instruction upon learning and retention of beginning badminton skills. Three beginning coed badminton classes at Old Dominion University were randomly assigned to one of the three treatments. A pre-test measuring skills by means of the Stalter wall volley test, French clear test and French short serve test at the beginning of instruction, a post-test measuring skills by the same three tests and a retention-test consisting of the same three tests thirty days after the end of instruction were administered to the three groups to determine if any significant differences existed. A One-Way Repeated Measures Analysis of Variance, computed separately for each group, indicated that all three treatments made significant gains in badminton skills between the pre-test and the post-test and the retention score was also significantly higher than the pre-test but not. the post-test. Analyses of Covariance revealed no significant. difference between treatments for males, but a significant F-ratio was found for females at the .01 level of confidence on the post-test. Further analysis indicated the V.T.R. females were significantly higher than
the T. females on the post-test at the . 01 level of confidence. The P. females were also significantly higher than the T. females on the post-test at the .05 level of confidence. The conclusions based on the results of this investigation were that in learning of beginning badminton skills, the means of the V.T. R. females were significantly higher than the means of the T. females at the .01 level of confidence on the post-test, and the means of the P. females were significantly higher than the T. females at the .05 level of confidence, but no significant difference existed between the means of the three groups of males on the posttest. Further conclusions were that in regard to retention of beginning badminton skills, no significant difference existed between the means of the T., P., or V.T.R. female groups on the retention-test, or between the T., P., or V.T. R. male groups on the retention-test.
An experimental study to evaluate the effect of planned teaching on self-medication practices of older ambulatory cardiac patients
Creators: name: Goodman, Gertrude Warkentin
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: This experimental study was designed to evaluate the effect of planned teaching on the self-medication practices of ambulatory cardiac patients. The sample was composed of forty male and female cardiac patients who were over the age of forty-five years, who lived at home and were of low socio-economic status. They all lived in a large urban centre and attended an outpatient clinic for medical attention. All were taking digoxin and thirty-six, 18 from each group, were also taking a diuretic. They were randomly assigned to two groups, experimental and control, when they visited the outpatient clinic. The twenty patients in the control group were given the usual routine factual information during their clinic visit. The twenty patients in the experimental group received additional planned teaching over a thirty-minute period by the researcher. The data were gathered by means of a twenty-item questionnaire designed to elicit information regarding the self-medication behavior of the study population. The questionnaire was administered in the homes of the patients ten to fourteen days following their visit to the outpatient clinic. Three hypotheses were tested in the study. Analysis of the data in relation to Hypothesis I indicated a statistically significant difference in the number of self-medication errors in digoxin and diuretics made in a twenty-four-hour period by patients in the experimental group as compared with the control group. The experimental group made significantly fewer errors. Although patients in the experimental group made fewer errors of the four types of errors studied with regard to Hypothesis II, there was not a statistically significant difference in errors related to time, dosage and non-prescribed medications made in a twenty-four-hour period by patients in the experimental group as compared with the control group. There was, however, a statistically significant difference in the fourth type of error--that of omission. The testing of Hypothesis III showed a statistically significant difference in the level of knowledge of the two groups of patients. The experimental group had a higher level of knowledge of their medications. The study concludes with consideration of implications for nursing practice and research.

Hosts: Hypothesis —Parasitoids of cyclorrhaphan Diptera with many species attacking leaf miners in the family Agromyzidae. Evidence —Summary of evidence below, no confirmed records from other host groups outside Europe. Comment— Some host records listed in Taxapad are almost certainly incorrect. All hosts are acalypterate Diptera except for those of Synelix semirugosa. Eggs are laid in host larvae except in some members of the Coelinius genus group where the host egg is attacked (Greene 1914; Mook 1962). The adult invariably emerges from the host puparium (Shaw & Huddleston 1991).

Almost all previous attempts at proving this conjecture were based on analyzing the semigroup tree. We offer a new, simpler approach to counting numerical semigroups of a given genus. Our method gives direct constructions of families of numerical semigroups, without referring to the generators or the semigroup tree. In particular, we give an improved asymptotic lower bound for n_g.

description: This is the third of a series of papers in which the structure and kinematics of disk galaxies is studied. Employing direct tilted-ring fits to the data cube as introduced in Paper I, we perform an analysis of the "Spindle" galaxy NGC 2685, previously regarded as two-ringed polar ring galaxy. Deep HI and optical (i'-band) observations are presented. The HI observations strongly suggest that the gaseous structure of NGC 2685 does not consist of two separate mutually inclined regions, but forms a coherent, extremely warped disk, the appearance of two rings being due to projection effects. By comparing the HI total-intensity maps with the optical image we demonstrate that at large radii a faint stellar disk is well aligned with the outer HI disk. The shape of the dust-lanes obscuring the NE part of the inner stellar body indicates that also at smaller radii NGC 2685 possesses a disk containing gas, dust, and stars in which the various constituents are aligned. At smaller radii, this disk is kinematically decoupled from the central stellar body. Hence, in the region of the bright, central stellar body, NGC 2685 appears to consist of two disks that share a common centre, but have different orientation: a bright stellar lenticular body apparently devoid of dust and gas, and a heavily warped low-surface brightness disk containing stars, gas and dust. The low-surface-brightness disk changes its orientation gradually and at large radii assumes the orientation of the central stellar S0 disk. Since, according to our analysis, the intrinsic orientation of the low-surface-brightness disk changes through 70 degrees, the gaseous disk is coherent, and is at no radius orientated perpendicularly with respect to the central stellar body, NGC 2685 is likely not a classical polar-ring galaxy.

Analysis of fillet function in wood-based sandwich construction
Creators: name: Kaneko, Tatsuhei
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: When a porous honeycomb core is glued to plane facings to make a sandwich construction, glue fillets (concave menisci) are formed around the core cell edges. It is known that glue fillets play an important role in strengthening the bond of the construction, but only few studies on the real function of the fillet have been reported. This thesis investigates the relationships between fillet size and bonding strength in sandwich construction followed by a stress analysis of the fillets. Sandwich panels with various fillet sizes were produced by means of a glue applicator of original design using a modified phenol-resorcinol resin glue, kraft paper honeycomb cores and Douglas fir plywood facings. Tensile strength tests normal to the sandwich specimens of 1 by 1 inch, and flexure tests on the sandwich beams of 3.75 by 12 inches were performed. Fillet rupture sizes and actual fillet dimensions were measured. A highly significant correlation was found between fillet size and bonding strength. Larger fillets provided greater bonding strength. When a sandwich was subjected to tensile load, a vertical shear failure took place at the center of the fillet concave meniscus regardless of fillet size. By assuming the uniformity of fillet shape, the following equation: [symbol omitted]= my + d , was found to express the relationship between the vertical shear stress [symbol omitted] at the fracture point B and the fillet height y at B, where m and d were constants. Too large fillets had tendency to form voids or bubbles within them resulting in lowering strength values. The appearance of fracture in the glueline in flexure test specimens was similar to that in the tensile test. Most of the sandwich specimens with smaller fillets failed in the glueline, while those with larger fillets mostly failed in core shear. This observation also indicated the superiority of larger fillets in bonding of honeycomb-to-plywood. The cause of glueline failure in the flexure test was deemed to result from a complex system of shear, compression and tensile stresses. However, a mathematical expression describing that system of stresses was not found.

Notes: Griffiths considered the three species of Antrusa known to him (flavicoxa, melanocera, and vaenia) to be basal members of the genus Exotela with no apomorphic characters to distinguish them from his hypothesised plesiomorphic Dacnusini ground state. Authors such as Fischer et al. (2004) and Peris-Felipo et al.

Defining experiences : feminisms and contemporary art in Indonesia
Creators: name: Dirgantaro, W
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This thesis explores the relationship between feminisms and visual arts in Indonesia. Focusing on works by Indonesian women artists produced from the 1940s until the present day, it provides a new understanding of the history of Indonesian modern and contemporary art from a feminist perspective. Its main aim is not only to analyze the actual works of Indonesian women artists historically and today, but also to illuminate the sociocultural and political contexts in which the artists worked through feminist reading. Feminisms are often regarded as a purely Western concept that is irrelevant to the Indonesian context, but during a brief period of time after 1998, there was a surge in the Indonesian mainstream consciousness about gender issues. Feminist scholars, activists and cultural workers successfully created a discursive space in the mainstream media to discuss issues which were previously taboo, such as the politics of the female body, domestic violence, sexual abuse and more. Women artists such as Arahmaiani and Titarubi made significant contributions to this discourse, for example through their critical installation and performance art pieces. The thesis sets out to explore the works of these and other women artists, employing multiple methodological approaches from psychoanalysis to semiotics in order to construct a framework for an active re-reading and re-visioning of Indonesian art discourses. Strategies of correction and interrogation are applied to both critically asses the patriarchal structure of the Indonesian art world and revise the existing readings of works by women artists. By looking beyond the labeling but not rejecting the term itself, the thesis highlights a trajectory of change in the way feminisms operates in Indonesian visual arts. As important drivers of this process of change, Indonesian women artists neither resist patriarchy in a 'politically correct' way nor revel in eroticism, but steer a course between these two positions. Furthermore, the thesis demonstrates how works by Indonesian women artists can include difference and absorb ambiguity within their frame of reference, thus avoiding the totalising and exclusionary practices sometimes associated with feminisms.

Social media as a customer relationship management tool within the building and construction industry
Creators: name: Swarts, Kevin
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania

description: The purpose of this dissertation is to explore how builders can use social media to manage customer relationships. This research uses semi-structured interviews with accredited building practitioners to explore the extent of SCRM use, the ways builders are using SCRM, and the factors that influence social media use. The study found that builders are using social media to manage customer relationships, but to a limited extent. There is a lack of SCRM strategy and builders are reluctant to use customer value segmentation. Builders are indifferent to using SCRM to move away from legal-centric relationships, and have difficulty establishing meaningful relationships through social media. The 'risk of defamation' and a 'lack of control' are factors that influence builders' use of social media. There is also some support for 'perceived trustworthiness' as a factor that inf1uences SCRM use and acceptance. A limitation of this research is that it only explores the builder-client relationship from the builders' perspective. More research is required to explore SCRM from both the customer and practitioner perspective. The practical implications are that builders can consider two main issues for improving social media effectiveness: a lack of SCRM strategy, and the lack of customer-value segmentation. The unique contribution of this research lies in the application of SCRM to the building and construction industry. There are also very few studies which have focused on the builder-client relationship from a marketing perspective; this study provides a base from which to explore this topic further.

Plates made of carbon-based composites are becoming widely used within various running disciplines, not only among professional athletes, but also by recreational runners. The quantification of their advantages when integrated as insoles or within the midsole of running shoes and their precise mechanisms of action remain subject of ongoing debates within the scientific community. Different models are under debate to define the underlying mechanisms, such as the well-known gear ratio and teeter-totter effects. We started this study concentrating on the spring-like effect that facilitates energy return following bending or the alteration of metatarsal-phalangeal and ankle joint biomechanics. Several studies have suggested that the design of the insole may influence performance outcomes. Despite numerous designs and materials having emerged in recent years, no scientific research has systematically compared the effect of these designs and materials on the flexural stiffness, rebound capacity and damping characteristics of insoles. Consequently, we have developed a novel testing methodology to assess these characteristicsin various materials and geometric configurations of carbon plates and soles. In our initial test series, we have compared the characteristics of two soles of the same trail running shoe model, with and without an integrated carbon plate. We have studied the individual materials employing Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA). The obtained results have been correlated with rebound velocities and vibration damping characteristics. In this new part of the project, we have subjected to a novel dynamic mechanical test a new set of diverse soles, incorporating distinct, foam materials and various carbon plate configurations. Utilizing a specialized algorithm, we have measured the elastic modulus E’, and the complex modulus E'' of the soles, correlating the results with the rebound speed of the soles as a function of the materials employed. The aim of the study is to find the correlation between the composition of the insoles, the resulting viscoelastic properties, with the vibration and rebound parameters. Consequently, trying to understand how this set of data can be useful to predict the response of the shoe during the sportive gesture.
Southern bargaining in north-south trade : the case of tin
Creators: name: Saravanamuttu, Jayaratnam
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: This study explores the kinds of bargaining strategies which have been used and can be used by the less developed countries, designated as "the South", in trade negotiations with the developed countries, designated as "the North". It takes as its point of departure the North-South axis of conflict in international relations, namely, the conflict between the rich, advanced and industrial nations and the poor, newly emergent and developing nations. It focuses specifically on Southern bargaining in one sub-area of North-South trade - international tin accords. The study is presented in three chapters. The first chapter presents an overview of North-South trade relationships and issues. The second chapter begins a case study of North-South confrontation in tin agreements. The final chapter concludes with a check-list of bargaining strategies which have been employed or may be employed by Southern producing countries in tin negotiations. The major finding of the study is that Southern bargaining in tin accords has relied most heavily on strategies of normative appeal based on the UNCTAD 'ethos'. In particular, bargaining strategies which appeal to Northern altruism and democratic norms are especially popular. The second most used group of strategies are those which appeal to self-interest. In general, it was found that Southern bargaining has not been very effective. It is therefore recommended that Southern countries should (1) employ more intensively strategies of normative appeal other than those based on the UNCTAD ethic; (2) employ more intensively strategies which appeal to self-interests of Northern countries; and (3) employ strategies which demonstrate commitment to bargaining positions, and if need be, to demonstrate such commitment by the use of threats

description: We report on the identification of the X/soft gamma-ray source AX J183039-1002 detected with ASCA and INTEGRAL/IBIS. The source, which has an observed 20-100 keV flux of about 8.6 x 10^-11 erg/cm^2/s, is inside a diffuse radio supernova remnant (SNR) and is spatially coincident with a compact radio source. We analyzed archival Chandra and XMM-Newton observations in order to identify the ASCA/INTEGRAL source. A point-like Chandra X-ray object was found to be positionally coincident with the compact radio source and within the error circle of the ASCA and INTEGRAL sources. Although the association of a compact radio/X-ray source with a radio supernova remnant could be indicative of a pulsar wind nebula (PWN), the XMM-Newton X-ray spectrum is compatible with an absorbed, Seyfert-2 like AGN, since it provides evidence for an iron emission line of about 1 keV equivalent width; furthermore the X-ray source spectrum is similar to that of other Compton thick AGN where the <2 keV data are associated to a warm reflector and the >10 keV one to a cold reflector.
