The role of a social system in the implementation and sustainable use of local e-government: an Indonesian case study
Creators: name: Nurdin, Nurdin
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Electronic government (e-government) has become an important issue for public administration worldwide, which is made possible by a combination of information technology (IT) and public administration changes. The main objectives of e-government are to alter the structure and process of government organisations to improve performance and increase citizens' access to government services online. However, many e-government implementations, particularly in developing countries, have resulted in failure caused by institutional, human, financial and infrastructure challenges that mostly result from a lack of resources, political commitment and poor maintenance. These commonly occur when government organizations try to sustain their e-government facilities alone. It is argued that an individual organization seldom has enough competence, resources and legitimacy to produce an innovation and commercialize it to a wider community. Consequently, organizations need to coordinate and cooperate to develop an innovation and rely on other actors to emerge and survive. This study draws on a social system framework from Van de Ven et al., (1999) to understand the case of e-government implementation and sustainable use within two local governments (Regencies) in Indonesia. The findings show that components in the social system emerge simultaneously within an e-government implementation and its ongoing, sustainable use. These components include: (1) Institutional arrangements that legitimate, regulate, and standardize the innovation. (2) The resources endowments of technology knowledge and skills, financing mechanism, and human competence. (3) Governmental activities in development and functioning of e-government and building resource channels; (4) Market mechanisms that change cultural norms, educate stakeholders and stimulate demand for egovernment products. All these components are made evident through the coordination and cooperation of actors involved in the social system that sustains the e-government implementation. Components of Van de Ven, et al.'s (1999) social system framework were adjusted and extended based on the findings of the study within the context of the public sector. This adaptation is based on the consideration that 'the specific characteristics of an industrial infrastructure vary according to the technology on which it based' (Van de Ven, 2005, p. 367). The findings from the two Indonesian Regencies can be generalised to a broader population with some limitations. However, this in-depth study of the cases contributes valuable theoretical and practical knowledge to the community. The study findings show that the involvement of actors, such as employees, citizens, politicians, and businesses, are a major factor in the sustainability of e-government. Future research requires exploration of the roles of these actors to provide a broader perspective of their roles in e-government implementation and sustainable use.
Risky business: understanding Vietnamese women's pathways into Australia's illicit drug trade
Creators: name: Le, Roslyn
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Drawing on in-depth interviews with 35 Vietnamese women imprisoned for drug crimes in Melbourne, Australia, this thesis explored questions concerning why and how individuals become involved in drug trafficking in the first place. It was found that more than half of the women interviewed started drug trafficking to resolve gambling debts incurred through Melbourne's casino. Other motives identified in this study included economic gain, non-gambling debt resolution, romantic love and drug dependency. Challenging traditional stereotypes that portray drug traffickers as evil and morally depraved beings, this thesis revealed that the women in this study were in fact 'ordinary' individuals, who were driven into the illicit drug trade to resolve, or change the difficult circumstances in their own lives.

High temperature properties of molten nitrate salt for solar thermal energy storage application
Creators: name: Mohammad, Mehedi Bin
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Molten alkali nitrate salts as a heat transfer and storage fluid is promising in concentrated solar power plants because of their negligible vapor pressure and optimum fluid velocity. A ternary sodium-potassium-lithium nitrate salt has been proposed using a thermo chemical package, which has low melting point (120.8°C) compared to binary solar salt (220°C). The purpose of this study is to increase the degradation limit of proposed ternary salt using oxygen as a cover gas to obtain broader operating temperature range (to increase the steam-Rankine cycle efficiency) and for potential use in thermal energy storage systems as a heat transfer fluid.

description: Environment mainstreaming as a cross-cutting issue in humanitarian operations has been one of the megatrends within the new humanitarian-development nexus approach (Barrett, Mutfitt, & Venton, 2007). It has been on top of the agenda due to the vitality of mitigating the risks associated with humanitarian interventions and jeopardizing the efforts and progress to build long-term resilience through sustainable development and increase the vulnerability of forcibly displaced populations and host communities. Recognizing the devastating consequences of sidelining the environmental considerations in humanitarian action programming in a rapidly increased rate of protracted refugees’ crises, accountability to mainstream environment in all levels of humanitarian action is questioned. This study uses a mix-method methodology to explore the accountability level within different stakeholders in Bangladesh and Pakistan refugee settlements. The study used a qualitative desk policy review, case study, and a quantitative survey targeting grassroots field operations to answer the three research questions. First, how is environmental sustainability conceptualized within the humanitarian context? Next, what are the different environmental aspects of refugees’ settlement programming? Finally, how is environment mainstreaming in humanitarian refugees programming scoped within international and local policies? The finding of this study signifies the availability of policies and guidelines targeting the environment as a cross-cutting issue in humanitarian programming. The findings also suggest that lack of awareness, inflexibility regarding localization, and adaptation of the policies and guidelines in humanitarian context are the main factors contributing to minimization of the level of complying with the existing systems.

Reconciling ontological differences for intelligent agents
Creators: name: Lister, Kendall
name: Sterling, Leon
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This discussion presents several alternative strategies for approaching the problem of semantic interoperability, based on recent projects to develop software agents and systems that attempt to reconcile ontological differences without explicit ontologies. The difficulties of reconciling explicit ontologies are discussed, and possibilities for meaning negotiation through implicit approaches are presented. To ground these ideas, two prototype systems are introduced that approach the issue of meaning negotiation without requiring the construction of formal ontologies.
Logic-based languages to model and program intelligent agents

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Research on tools for modeling and specifying intelligent agents, namely computer systems situated in some environment and capable of flexible autonomous actions, is very lively. Due to the complexity of intelligent agents, the way they are modeled, specified and verified should greatly benefit by the adoption of formal methods. Logic-based languages can be a useful tool for engineering the development of a multi-agent system (MAS). This paper discusses six logic-based languages which have been used to model and specify agents, namely ConGolog, AGENT-0, the IMPACT specification language, Dylog, Concurrent METATEM and Ehhf . To show their main features and to practically exemplify how they can be used, a common running example is provided. Besides this, a set of desirable features that languages should exhibit to prove useful in engineering a MAS have been identified. A comparison of the six languages with respect to the support given to these features is provided, as well as final considerations on the usefulness of logic-based languages for 'agent oriented software engineering'.

Assessment of Cactus Biosorption Potential in The Removal of Hexachromium Ions from Synthetic and Tannery Waste Water
Creators: name: Getahun, Mebrate
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2018

description: Chromium (VI) is environmentally mobile owing to its high solubility in water. Its pollution is largely attributed by discharge of inadequately treated effluents of chrome utilizing industries. Discharges of such effluents pose a potential threat to human health unless are treated properly before its disposal. Adsorption using activated carbon prepared from biomaterials is a new technology for the treatment of heavy metals rich industrial effluents. Opuntia Ficus Indicus (OFI) activated with H3PO4 (45%) was evaluated for Cr (VI) removal capability from both synthetic and tannery waste water. The present work was aimed at assessing the biosorbent capability of OFI in removal of Cr (VI) from synthetic aqueous solution and tannery waste water. OFI was activated with H3PO4 (45%) and carbonized at 450 o C in muffle furnace for 1hr and its different physical properties such as bulk density and moisture content was determined. Besides; the sorbent characterized by FTIR spectroscopy test analysis before and after adsorption processes, suggested possible key contributions of hydroxyls and carboxyls in the sequestering of Cr(VI) on OFI. Maximum Cr(VI) removal efficiency of 99.5% was achieved by OFI under different study parameters. The percentage removal of Cr (VI) ions increased with increase of the amount of sorbent concentration for which the Optimum removal of Cr (VI) was observed at sorbent dose of 125 mg. The adsorption efficiency of Cr (VI) on OFI was increased at low pH values between 2 and 3, attending its optimum at pH of 2. Percentage removal was observed to increase, while decreasing the initial concentration of Cr (VI) to which 6mg/l was the minimum of adsorption system. Whereas; the removal was increased with increasing the agitating speed and its corresponding contact time, whereby; the optimal adsorption reached at 60 minutes at 150rpm agitating speed. Both Langmuir and Freundlich models and followed adsorption process with high regression correlation coefficient (R 2 ) values of 0.999 and 0.956 respectively. But, Langmuir isotherm with higher R 2 was best fitted to the experimental values, with monolayer adsorption capacity of 4.587mg/l. Besides; the RL values were obtained in range of 0 < RL < 1 that confirmed the favorability of adsorption process. The optimized parameters were applied to the real waste water resulted in 88.7% of optimal adsorption removal efficiency. The reduction in percentage of removal might be due the matrix effect of the competing ions present the chrome liquor spent. Adsorbent used in present study was prepared at laboratory scale and observed to hold distinct position for its efficient removal of Cr (VI) both from synthetic aqueous solution and tannery waste water and could be an alternative promising plant based biosorbent in field.

In the thick of it: operationalizing the relationship between Black people, Black spaces, and Black political unity
Creators: name: Strawbridge, Michael George
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2024

description: This dissertation addresses the concurrent evidence that Black people are not a monolith and are frequently politically unified. To date, researchers have focused on the salience of racial group interests in the lives of Black Americans to explain this phenomenon. I challenge the prevailing wisdom about in-group racial attitudes and assert that Black political unity results from a Black person’s political learning within the Black community. To support my argument, I introduce a novel concept and survey measure called Black immersion, which captures how embeddedness in the culture and environment African Americans have developed in the United States since slavery socializes Black Americans across the Black diaspora and influences Black public opinion. Using cross-sectional and panel survey data spanning fifty years, I demonstrate how Black immersion is a dependable explanation for Black political attitude formation and Black political unity. The theoretical contribution of Black immersion is a shift away from the predominant explanation for Black political decision-making as a result of previously held in-group racial attitudes. Rather than assume Black Americans innately view the political world in a particular way, I assert and make central the social and environmental factors that inform Black political attitude formation. Methodologically, Black immersion advances Black political socialization research by enabling a nuanced approach to observing and understanding how various Black social networks and institutions simultaneously influence Black political behavior.

description: Long distribution feeders connected to Single Wire Earth Return (SWER) systems are unique sub-systems of the electric power network in Australia, especially in the State of Queensland. Since the SWER systems are connected between two phases of a distribution line via an isolating transformer, they are inherently unbalanced loads. In this paper a proposal will be developed to investigate the problems associated with the SWER systems and to suggest possible solutions. The study is based on an actual distribution feeder supplying power to several SWER lines in a rural area of the State of Queensland, Australia. Some issues will be addressed including suggestions for correcting the unbalanced operation, high energy losses, voltage and load profile, and the quality of power supplied to the customers.

Service targeting for DV: the need for a much broader understanding of housing and violence
Creators: name: Sharam, Andrea
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: In 2008 WISHIN published research into single, older women and hidden homelessness, 'Going it alone: single, low needs women and hidden homelessness'. One of the issues raised by the research was the contribution of housing insecurity to the incidence of domestic violence. The concern at the outset was that service targeting tends to exclude single, older, low needs women, whose homelessness then remains hidden. The homelessness adaptation strategies revealed by the women in the study highlighted the role partnering plays for women in securing housing.

Holly Blue: an historical novel and exegesis
Creators: name: Ross, Jacqueline
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: My exegesis and artefact are intended to be read together. Although they stand as individual pieces of work, they have been written with the intention that they will ‘speak’ to each other in a symbiotic way. I recommend that the artefact be read first as this reflects the way the works were produced, giving the reader an authentic experience of this PhD by artefact and exegesis journey. The artefact comprises a neo-Victorian novel of some 80,000 words. It is set in both London and Melbourne in the year 1885. The novel is narrated in the first person by the main protagonist who is a fraudulent spiritualist medium. Some of the central themes of the novel are: nineteenth century femininity; spiritualism; madness and the meaning of friendship. A large section of the novel is set in the Kew Asylum. The exegesis is in three parts. The first part looks in detail at the areas that were most important while writing the first draft of the novel, utilising practice led research. These areas are: a discussion of the neo-Victorian genre; an exploration of how historical fiction writers incorporate research into their writing, and the difficultly of narrating a novel from the point-of-view of an unreliable and unlikable narrator. In the second part, the focus is on nineteenth century madness at both an experiential level, such as visiting museums, and a theoretical one, through academic research. The last section of the exegesis is devoted to the central research question of this project: the significance of clothing in the artefact and the importance of this as a writerly tool for the neo-Victorian novelist. Although clothing is only a minor theme in the novel, it comprises the major research focus of the exegesis. The research on clothing focuses specifically on three areas of most relevance to the artefact: clothing and class, clothing in the asylum, and the Victorian corset. This research is underpinned throughout by a feminist research methodology.
An Automated Segmentation at Retinal Images for Use in Diabetic Retinopathy Studies

description: Automated computer aided detection of retinal lesions associated with Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) offers many potential benefits. In a screening setting, it allows the examination of large number of images in less time and more objectively than traditional observer driven techniques. In a clinical setting, it can be an important diagnostic aid by reducing the workload of trained graders and other costs. However, the segmentation of major pathological structures and their subsequent follow–ups are not easy because of various artifacts such as presence of anatomical structures with highly correlated pixels with that of lesion, illumination variability, noise and movement of the eye during multiple visits by the patient. This study presents a novel mathematical scheme for analysis of color retinal images acquired through digital fundus cameras from patients treated for DR. The proposed scheme uses a holistic representation of the color images in the three (trinion) space and applies trinion based Fourier transforms to extract useful imaging features for the purpose of classification and segmentation of retinal images. A suitable color space transformation and a way of extracting robust higher order features are included in the method. The scheme has been applied in analyzing images acquired from standard retinal image databases. Results have showed that the algorithm achieved 86.06% sensitivity, 96.06% specificity, and 92.65% accuracy for pixel base segmentation of Hard Exudates (HEs) the most prevalent lesions that appears in the earliest stages of DR, while it achieved 96.67% sensitivity, 100% specificity and 97.3% accuracy for image base classification of abnormalities due to DR.

description: The article presents a – to the best of the author’s knowledge – new method of preparing data for quantification of loanword adaptation, together with two of its possible uses. The method is particularly fit for poorly investigated languages where a great deal of data, especially socio-linguistic, are missing. It is illustrated with the example of Russian loanwords in Dolgan. The result is an attempt to measure the commonness and meaningfulness of adaptations, and an index of loanword nativization Studia Linguistica Universitatis Iagellonicae Cracoviensis 127 (2010), 101–177

Healthy and harmful adolescent attachment, conflict, and anger
Creators: name: Pearson, Kaileen L.
Publisher: name: Swinburne

description: The major focus of this study was to investigate the association between adolescent attachment styles and types of parent-adolescent conflict and anger. The study used adolescent respondents (n=214, females=136, males=78), 95% of whom were aged 14 or 15. The methodology was a one-off survey design. An adapted adult attachment scale with two dimensions, anxiety and avoidance, measured attachment. This scale was used to form four adolescent attachment styles, secure, preoccupied, fearful and dismissive. Family conflict was assessed in a range of ways, including general measures of self-reported family conflict and abuse at home. Also measured were general anger-proneness and depression-proneness. As well, adolescents responded to four specific, hypothetical parent-adolescent conflict scenarios. The responses to these vignettes included their reported emotions, conflict resolution strategies, expected endings and post-conflict coping/risk behaviours. Results indicated the presence of one major healthy and functional conflict-anger pattern associated with a secure attachment style, and two major types of harmful and dysfunctional conflict-anger patterns. Healthy conflict and anger involved secure adolescents reporting they would experience negative emotions in conflict but would still expect the conflict to be resolved well for everyone. Secure adolescents were also less anger-prone and depression-prone generally than other adolescents, possibly indicating their ability to regulate their negative emotions. The first harmful conflict pattern, associated with preoccupied and fearful attachment styles, included relatively higher levels of family conflict involving poor conflict endings, and even moderate levels of violence. Preoccupied and fearful adolescents may have poor emotional regulation, as indicated by their higher levels of general anger-proneness and depression-proneness. The second harmful conflict-anger pattern was associated with a dismissive attachment style and involved conflict with emotional distance and coolness in the family, as well as lower levels of reported problem solving strategies and good conflict endings. Results are discussed in terms of adolescent attachment style profiles and the need to distinguish and assess attachment styles in families in order to devise appropriate and effective interventions. Examples of primary, secondary and tertiary preventative interventions are described to assist mildly to severely conflicted, distressed or disengaged families.

description: Much remains to be learned about single-stranded (ss) DNA viruses in natural systems, and the evolutionary relationships among them. One of the eight recognized families of ssDNA viruses is the Microviridae, a group of viruses infecting bacteria. In this study we used metagenomic analysis, genome assembly, and amplicon sequencing of purified ssDNA to show that bacteriophages belonging to the subfamily Gokushovirinae within the Microviridae are genetically diverse and widespread members of marine microbial communities. Metagenomic analysis of coastal samples from the Gulf of Mexico (GOM) and British Columbia, Canada, revealed numerous sequences belonging to gokushoviruses and allowed the assembly of five putative genomes with an organization similar to chlamydiamicroviruses. Fragment recruitment to these genomes from different metagenomic data sets is consistent with gokushovirus genotypes being restricted to specific oceanic regions. Conservation among the assembled genomes allowed the design of degenerate primers that target an 800 bp fragment from the gene encoding the major capsid protein. Sequences could be amplified from coastal temperate and subtropical waters, but not from samples collected from the Arctic Ocean, or freshwater lakes. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that most sequences were distantly related to those from cultured representatives. Moreover, the sequences fell into at least seven distinct evolutionary groups, most of which were represented by one of the assembled metagenomes. Our results greatly expand the known sequence space for gokushoviruses, and reveal biogeographic separation and new evolutionary lineages of gokushoviruses in the oceans
