Retail concentration: a comparison of spatial convenience in planned and un-planned centres.
Creators: name: Reimers, Vaughan

Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: The emergence of the internet and a more discerning consumer has created the need for traditional retail centres to provide a more convenient shopping environment. A retail centre offers convenience when it minimises the spatial, temporal and effort costs of shopping. Existing strategies for spatial convenience include controlling the size of the centre by restricting the number of businesses, creating a more compact physical design, limiting the entry of non-retail firms and creating compatible clusters. The authors' propose an alternative method; the degree of retail concentration. This study provides statistical insight into the degree of retail concentration offered by a sample of 9 planned centres and 9 unplanned centres. The findings yielded three important insights. Firstly, across the three tests for retail concentration, the planned centre was found to offer consumers' greater shopping convenience. Secondly, the findings add support to the notion that the demise of the unplanned centre could be linked to its inability to satisfy the needs of a convenience-oriented society. And thirdly, while the un-planned centre may be at a competitive disadvantage in terms of spatial convenience, market mechanisms such as Bid Rent Theory provided a better-than-expected spatial juxtapositioning of its businesses.
The Evaluation Of General Practice In Community Health Centres: A Critical Review

description: Australian general practice is currently the subject of intense governmental review. Community Health Centres (CHCs) in Victoria have general practice established as part of their primary health care services, whereas this i s not generally the case in New South Wales CHCs. This paper examines Australian and international literature describing the evaluation of general practice conducted within CHCs, and it uses the evaluation criteria suggested by the original 1973 National Hospitals and Health Services Commission which established CHCs. This review found that there is little objective evaluation findings upon which to base the decision to employ general practitioners as full time salaried employees of CHCs. Of the original evaluation parameters suggested, CHC general practice unit costs, patient and professional satisfaction and service utilisation have been addressed by some research and discussion papers. The collection and impact of epidemiological data, professional audit, community participation, co-ordination and continuity of services and accessibility of services have been ignored by reporters of CHC general practice. An evaluation of CHC general practice would be of benefit to determining the impact of the future of general practitioners within CHCs.

description: China’s Belt and Road Initiative aims at enhancing economic connectivity and cooperation between China and neighboring countries, and promote common prosperity. Guangdong is one of the leading economic regions of mainland China. Based on the guidance of the national policy, Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area plays its role in the construction of the Belt and Road with its strong economic foundation, unique geographical location, complete infrastructure and industrial base, convenient transportation, and global financial center status. From the perspective of the dominant competitive advantage index, this paper analyzes the competition and trade cooperation in Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area on the basis of the Belt and Road Initiative. In addition, this paper summarizes the current situation of investment and finances of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area in Belt and Road Initiative and presents strategies on how to play the role of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area in the Belt and Road Initiative.
Social Evaluation Of Health Care Versus Personal Evaluation Of Health States: Evidence On The Validity Of Four Health State Scaling Instruments Using Norwegian And Australian Survey Data

description: In most of the cost-utility literature, QALY gains are interpreted as a measure of social value. Given this interpretation, the validity of different multi-attribute health state scaling instruments may be tested by comparing the values they provide on the 0-1 QALY-scale with directly elicited preferences for person trade-offs between different treatments (equivalence of numbers of different patients treated). Norwegian and Australian public preferences as measured by the person trade-off suggest that the EuroQol Instrument assigns excessively low values to health states. This seems to be even more true of the McMaster Health Classification System. The Quality of Well-Being Scale appears to compress states towards the middle of the 0-1 scale. By contrast the Rosser/Kind index fits reasonably well with directly measured person trade-off data.

The dynamics of local rules in hospital admission processes
Creators: name: Walker, Beverly

Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This paper reports on research into admission practices at a hospital that provided sub acute extended care. A System Dynamics model of the patient flow through the hospital was built to show the impact of the local rules used by the medical registrar. Local rules are behaviours that are local, and often idiosyncratic, adaptations to the local environment. Such adaptations can have a significant impact on organisational performance. In the hospital, patients were admitted from two large acute hospitals and from the community sources, into two different streams of care a within the hospital. The process by which they were selected for admission set for up the dynamics of patient flows within the hospital. These dynamics involved the acuity of the patients and the demands they placed on the medical systems within the hospital. Hospital funding in Victoria is based on length of stay and occupancy rate. The types and acuity of patients being admitted had a profound influence of these funding bases. The local rules used by the medical registrar, in turn, had a profound influence on the types of patient being admitted. The System Dynamics model demonstrated the impact of these local rules. During the process of building the model, it became clear that neither the medical registrar, nor senior administrators within the centre understood the impact of the local rules.

Reaching the Planners: Generating Detailed Commodity Forecasts from a Computable General Equilibrium Model
Creators: name: Adams, Philip D.

Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: The largest computable general equilibrium (CGE) models currently in operation produce forecasts divided into about 100 commodities (goods and services). This level of detail may seem overwhelming to macroeconomists but is often inadequate for micro planning. For example, a forecast for business services (a typical commodity at the 100-level) is of marginal interest in planning educational programs for sub-categories of business services such as accountancy, advertising and architecture. As a step towards generating information for micro planning, this paper describes a tops-down method for disaggregating CGE forecasts. The method relies on detailed sales data often collected by input-output sections of statistical agencies. An application is reported in which forecasts from a 114-commodity CGE model are disaggregated into forecasts for 780 commodities. Within each of the 114 core commodities, differences In prospects are forecast for sub-commodities reflecting differences In their sales patterns and in the degree to which they face Import competition.
Historic Films and Destination Image in Australia and the American West: a Comparative Study of Ned Kelly and High Noon.

description: This paper examines how historic films may create attractive destination images for rural areas. It compares the impacts of two films: High Noon and Ned Kelly. The first is a western which attracts tourists to the town of Jamestown in California. Promoted as a western town, Jamestown has been the film location of over 200 films, television shows and commercials. Ned Kelly is the eighth feature film based on the Australian bushranger, who has also been celebrated in books, art and plays. A number of towns have developed their destination image around associations with Kelly and the recent film has the potential to extend these connections to other towns.

Tour guide certification in the Australian ecotourism industry: conception to adulthood
Creators: name: Black, Rosemary

Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Guides have many important roles to perform in the ecotourism experience, such as ensuring the safety of the visitor, providing accurate and compelling interpretation of sites, and modelling appropriate environmental and cultural behaviour. High guiding standards assist in serving this wide range of interests, although there are few examples to date of enforcement of guiding standards in ecotourism. Recent interest in accreditation and professional certification within the tourism industry can be attributed in part to recognition that consumers' expectations are higher, and they have a heightened awareness of service quality, improved safety and sustainable environmental issues. An ecotour guide certification program known as the EcoGuide Program has recently been developed in Australia. This program is a voluntary, industry initiative developed to provide recognition and reward best practice nature/ecotour guiding. As the EcoGuide Program matures it is envisaged that it will achieve its aim of maintaining and improving the quality of ecotour guiding, as well as raising the profile of guides as an integral part of the ecotourism experience. Using the analogy of the human life cycle, this paper outlines the background to and development of this professional certification program. This chronological review of the EcoGuide Program reflects the successes and challenges of developing an ecotour guide certification, and serves as a model for others exploring tour guide certification.

The Intercultural Competencies Required for Inclusive and Effective Culturally Diverse Work Teams
Creators: name: Lloyd, Shannon

Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Culturally diverse teams provide the opportunity for a greater number of cross-cultural interactions and, are proposed to present a number of benefits for teams including increased innovation, creativity and problem solving capabilities. At the same time, however, they also provide opportunity for greater miscommunication and misunderstanding, which can impede the social and task-related functions of the team. Consequently, cultural diversity itself will not generate benefits in teams, rather it is learning to work with cultural diversity effectively that will allow a team to realise these benefits. We discuss the essential intercultural competencies identified in the literature and provide recommendations that will aid practitioners in implementing these competencies in their teams. We show that, if the potential synergies available from cultural diversity are to be realised, organisational and team members need to be interculturally competent, involving not only an ability to understand differences, but also to continue to communicate effectively and integrate across these differences.
DELVING DEEPER INTO VULNERABLE SAMPLES IN ADVERSARIAL TRAINING
Publisher: name: IEEE Signal Processing Society
Year: 2024

description: Recently, vulnerable samples have been shown to be crucial
for improving adversarial training performance. Our analysis
on existing vulnerable samples mining methods indicate that
existing methods have two problems: 1) valuable connections
among different pairs of natural samples and their adversarial
counterparts are ignored; 2) parts of vulnerable samples are
unconsidered. To better leverage vulnerable samples, we propose INter PAir ConstrainT (INPACT) and Vulnerable Aware
adveRsarial Training (VART) to address these drawbacks respectively. INPACT assesses adversarial risk with more comprehensive regularization on sample relationships, which takes
both inter and intra connections of natural/adversarial sample
pairs into consideration. Meanwhile VART makes full use of
all vulnerable samples, including notable proportion neglected
by existing instance re-weighting strategies. Extensive experiments on different datasets and backbones demonstrate the
effectiveness of the proposed method.

Identification of equilibrium structures of endogenous specialisation: a unified approach exemplified
Creators: name: Sun, Guang-Zhen
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: A new method for identifying equilibria and conducting comparative statics of structures of the division of labour is proposed and illustrated by some models that are most typical of the literature on endogenous specialisation. The method starts with analysing individuals' decisions on specialisation under given price signals, and then solves for the equilibria and comparative statics in one step, resulting in a complete characterisation of subspaces of parameters in which different structures of specialisation occur in equilibrium. This approach proves highly powerful, particularly in dealing with models with substitutions between markets (for products and those for labour) andlor ex ante heterogeneous agents.
Medicare: Policy Issues and Options
Creators: name: Richardson, Jeff
Publisher: name: Monash University

description: By international standards Australia's health scheme, Medicare, is relatively efficient. Despite this, it is structurally unstable. The private health insurance and hospital industries operate at full cost and in competition with a public sector that is free' at the point delivery. Despite claims to the contrary this has not, to date, resulted in a decline in the size of the private hospital sector. However, over time, this must occur and a decision must be made about the desired balance between the public and private sectors. Theory and evidence indicate that the full privatisation and deregulation of health care is not a sensible option. Alternative options include the use of an ad hoc subsidy to prevent the decline of the private sector, a movement towards a largely government dominated industry, and the adoption of managed competition' to activate the internal market' in health care. In principle, the last of these options has the greatest potential for the achievement of allocative efficiency.

description: Superficially, electronic business appears to be a simple way of rendering national borders irrelevant, reaching a vastly increased number of potential customers, and conducting transactions that are "frictionless" i.e. for which transaction costs such as those of identifying customers and the administrative procedures associated with a sale are an order of magnitude lower than those of conventional, "over-the-counter", transactions. This is a misconception; there are many obstacles. Different national financial systems may hamper payment. A web advertisement that is perfectly acceptable in one culture may offend people of a different culture. Language differences and imperfect translations May cause offence or confusion. Nations regulate electronic business differently and have different attitudes to civil liberties; authoritarian countries may restrict and supervise their citizens' web activities. The most serious impediment to business to consumer activity is fulfilment: Reliably delivering web-ordered goods to consumers is expensive and may be problematic in countries with unsophisticated infrastructures.

description: Based on interviews conducted with senior managers of four German multinationals, this papers discusses issues of technology management in the context of global manufacturing. An overview of the four companies and their competitive priorities is first presented. The paper then discusses the role of globalisation and issues relating to technology transfer and technology management. Based on our observations, we identify three common strategies/practices adopted by the companies studied, namely maintaining focus on core competencies/technological capabilities; maintaining a continuing dialogue between the R&D function at headquarters and the overseas operating units; and providing extensive education and training for all employees.
Further Evidence on Game Theory, Simulated Interaction, and Unaided Judgement for Forecasting Decisions in Conflicts

Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: If people in conflicts can more accurately forecast how others will respond, that should help them make better decisions. Contrary to expectations, earlier research found game theorists' forecasts less accurate than forecasts from student role players. To assess whether game theorists had been disadvantaged by the selection of conflicts, I obtained forecasts for three new conflicts of types preferred by game theory experts. As before, role-players in simulated interactions were students and other students provided forecasts using their judgement. For eight conflicts, including five from earlier research, 102 forecasts by 23 game theorists were no more accurate (31%) than 357 forecasts by students who used unaided judgement (32%). Of 105 simulated-interaction forecasts, 62% were accurate: an average error reduction of 47% over game-theorist forecasts. Forecasts can sometimes have value without being strictly accurate. Assessing the usefulness of forecasts led to the same conclusions about the relative merits of the methods.

Reconsidering theories and evidence of supplier induced demand
Creators: name: Richardson, Jeff
name: Peacock, Stuart
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This paper seeks to make three contributions to the literature on supplier induced demand (SID). They concern, firstly, the criterion for accepting or rejecting SID. Secondly, its theoretical basis and thirdly the results of two Australian studies designed to test the existence of SID in the Australian medical market. In the first part of this paper (Section 2) it is argued that SID may be described as a ‘default theory’ which gains its plausibility from its ability to explain and predict service use. From this perspective SID remains an acceptable, instrumental, theory until it is shown to be unnecessary and that the alternative, more orthodox analytical framework has superior explanatory power. Despite this justification the persuasiveness of the theory is increased if there is a plausible explanation of patient and doctor behaviour which is consistent with it. It is argued that present agency theories are not fully satisfactory. In the second part of the paper two suggestions are made with respect to behaviour based upon the importance of uncertainty facing both a doctor and a patient. It is shown that medical uncertainty (as distinct from asymmetrical information) can explain both patient and doctor behaviour. In contrast with many theorists, SID is shown to be consistent with the ethical behaviour of a professionally and financially motivated doctor optimising demand shift in a competitive and dynamic market. The first empirical study summarised here used Australian cross sectional data. It is used as a vehicle for commenting on the problem of identification raised by Ramsey and Wassow (1986). The second study draws upon the unique patient and doctor incentives in Australian hospitals which allow a discriminatory test of the relative importance of patients’ and doctors’ incentives. The paper draws heavily upon a recently published article by the authors (Richardson and Peacock 2006). It includes arguments which were developed after this publication. These chiefly relate to the default justification of SID in the first section.
Long Memory in the Volatility of the Australian All Ordinaries Index and the Share Price Index Futures

Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This paper tests for long memory in the volatility of the All Ordinaries Index and its Share Price Index (SPI) futures. This has important implications for those agents concerned with the long term volatility in these markets. We use daily data and a short span of high frequency data to estimate the fractional differencing parameter, examine the fit of the implied autocorrelation function, and calculate the modified R/S and KPSS test statistics. All procedures support the existence of long memory in volatility in both markets except the KPSS test on the index using daily data. We argue that this is due to the low power of the KPSS test.

Association Between Markov Regime-switching Market Volatility and Beta Risk: Evidence from Dow Jones Industrial Securities

Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: In this paper, the volatility of the return generating process of the market portfolio and the slope coefficient of the market model is assumed to follow a Markov switching process of order one. The results indicate very strong evidence of volatility switching behaviour in a sample of returns in the S&P500 index. In three of the thirty securities in the Dow Jones index, the estimated slope in the market model show strong switching behaviour. In these three securities the low risk state is more persistent than the high-risk state. For each security we estimate the conditional probabilities that the security is in the high (low) risk state given the market is in the high (low) volatility regime and show that this information can be used to classify securities into three distinct groups. There is no association between these groups and the securities' constant beta estimated in the market model and the Sharpe index. Some directions for further research are discussed.

(a) Half milliliter aliquots of mock immunodepleted (AD) and AW7 immunodepleted (ID-AD) extracts were analyzed by IP/WB. AW7 was used for IP and a combination of 2G3 and 21F12 was used for WB. To enable comparison 2 and 5 ng of Aβ1–42 peptide was also electrophoresed on the gel. IP/WB analysis allows the capture of Aβ structures under native conditions and their detection following denaturing SDS-PAGE. (b) The same samples were also analyzed by an MSD-based Aβx-42 immunoassay. Since GuHCl effectively disaggregates high molecular weight Aβ species, samples were analyzed with and without incubation in denaturant. Analysis of samples in the absence of GuHCl allows the measurement of native Aβ monomer, whereas, analysis of samples treated with GuHCl allows detection of disassembled aggregates. The AD extracts contained much larger amounts of aggregates than monomer, and both monomer and aggregates were effectively removed by AW7 immunodepletion. The experiments shown are typical of at least 3 separate experiments. Figure S2. Bath application of anti-Aβ antibodies had no significant effect on hippocampal LTP.

description: The paper explores the causes relevant to corporate social responsibility in preserving a healthy environment that may prevent the industry sustaining its global competitiveness, while exploring the development of environmental ethics and social responsibility within the corporate governance framework. In the construction industry, large companies have communication problems with their community. Although the organisations state in their vision the determination to preserve a healthy environment, they do not appear to be interested to know what the stakeholders perceive such determination to be. Without information about community perception of organisational environmental commitments – a gap will remain between official organisational environmental aspirations and its acceptance among stakeholders. As a result, the industry's competitiveness may be jeopardised.

description: This paper investigates the problem of testing for structural change for diagnostic purposes. We propose a modified form of the fluctuation test of Ploberger et al. (1989). The modified fluctuation test has the same asymptotic distribution as the fluctuation test but much better finite sample performance. A comparison of the supF test of Andrews (1993) shows that both tests are actually based on the same components.

description: Abstract Die Umsetzung der Chancengerechtigkeit in der obligatorischen Schule erfolgt in der Schweiz durch ein duales System mit inklusiven Regelschulen und separativen Sonderschulen. Aus den Bildungsstatistiken geht jedoch nicht hervor, welche Ressourcen in die sonderpädagogischen Angebote fliessen und wofür. Ziel der Arbeit war die Entwicklung eines Fragebogens zum Ressourcen-Einsatz der Gemeinden in den Regelschulen. Es sollten Grundlagen für eine schweizweite Befragung zur Steuerung sonderpädagogischer Angebote geschaffen werden. Zentral war dabei, dass die Vergleichbarkeit der Ergebnisse zwischen den Kantonen gewährleistet bleibt. In einem aufwändigen Verfahren und in Zusammenarbeit mit der Praxis wurde ein umfassender Fragebogen entwickelt und erprobt. Als Beispiel wurden für den Kanton Zürich die zentralen Daten zur Organisation und zum Ressourcen-Einsatz deskriptiv ausgewertet
Issues and Challenges in Training HRM Practitioners by Distance Education

description: This paper reports on a study which determines the relative importance of factors that contribute to a high quality program in human resources, and which explores the effectiveness of distance education as the vehicle for delivery. The study considers the views of both students and their industry employers and finds that they place most importance on the distance education product, when compared to service and outcomes; and on the acquisition of knowledge when compared to other outcomes. Key challenges that emerge include the need for providers to align programs closer to industry requirements, the need for industry to support their personnel who are engaged in training, and for students to address issues related to their personal abilities and the nature of distance education.

description: This paper studies the changes in income inequality of individuals in Australia between 1986 and 1999. Individuals are divided into various subgroups along several dimensions, such as region of residence, age, employment status etc. The changes in inequality over time, between and within the various subgroups is studied, and the bootstrap method is used to establish whether these changes are statistically significant.

Forecasting and Policy Analysis with a Dynamic CGE Model of Australia

description: The main ideas in this paper are: (i) that CGE models can be used in forecasting; and (ii) that forecasts matter for policy analysis. We demonstrate these ideas by describing an application of MONASH, a dynamic CGE model of Australia, to the Australian motor vehicle industry over the period 1987 to 2016. The key to generating behevable forecasts is to use detailed information available from expert groups specializing in the analysis of different aspects of the economy. In MONASH we incorporate forecasts by specialists: on the domestic macro economy; on Australian economic policy; on world commodity markets; on international tourism; on production technologies; and on consumer preferences. We have found that CGE forecasts incorporating such specialist information are readily saleable to public and private organizations concerned with investment, employment, training and education issues. This is partly because the economywide consistency guaranteed by the CGE approach enables users of economic intelligence to see the disparate forecasts dealing with different parts and aspects of the economy within an integrated perspective. Over the last thirty five years, CGE models have been used almost exclusively as aids to "what if" (usually policy) analysis. In almost all cases it has been assumed that the effects of the shock under consideration are independent of the future path of the economy. Thus, for "what if" analysis, a common implicit view is that reahstic basecase forecasts are unnecessary. Contrary to this view, we find that "what if" answers depend significantly on the basecase forecasts. This is not surprising when we are concerned with unemployment and other adjustment costs. However, we find that basecase forecasts are critical even when our concern is the longrun welfare implications of a policy change. For example, we find that the simulated long-run effects of a tariff cut on imported cars are strongly influenced by the basecase forecast of the rate of technical progress in the car industry relative to that in other industries.
title: Influence of gold on the reactivity behaviour of ceria nanorods in CO oxidation: Combining operando spectroscopies and DFT calculations

description: Au/CeO₂ catalysts are commonly used for low-temperature CO oxidation. While many studies focus on the properties of gold and their relevance for activity, the influence of the support properties has received less attention. In this temperature-dependent study, we examine the relation between structure and activity for oxidation of CO over ceria nanorods (with/without gold), exhibiting CeO₂(110) and CeO₂(100) termination. Using ceria nanocubes with CeO₂(100) termination as a reference enables us to extract facet-specific characteristics. To characterize the adsorbate and structural dynamics we employ operando Raman and UV-vis spectroscopy combined with density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Our results reveal the superiority of CeO₂(110) over CeO₂(100) facets for CO oxidation as a result of their lower defect formation energy. Our findings are supported by the observed dynamics of the surface peroxide, the subsurface oxygen, and the bulk reduction under operando conditions. The lower activity of the unloaded samples can be compensated by higher temperatures (>120 °C) allowing new insight into the role of gold for CO oxidation activity. Our study highlights the importance of the surface termination for a detailed mechanistic understanding of ceria-based catalysts.

Is there a Natural Rate of Crime?

description: Studies in the economics of crime literature have reached mixed conclusions on the deterrence hypothesis. One explanation which has been offered for the failure to find evidence of a deterrent effect in the long run is the natural rate of crime. This paper applies the univariate Lagrange Multiplier (LM) unit root test with one and two structural breaks to crime series for the United Kingdom and United States and the panel LM unit root test with and without a structural break to crime rates for a panel of G7 countries to examine whether there is a natural rate of crime. Our main finding is that when we allow for two structural breaks in the LM unit root test and a structural break in the panel data unit root test, there is strong evidence of a natural rate of crime. The policy implications of our findings is that governments should focus on altering the economic and social structural profile which determines crime in the long run rather than increasing expenditure on law enforcement which will at best reduce crime rates in the short run.
