The transfer of training among Australian construction workers participating in occupational health and safety training
Creators: name: Pham, Thanh Tung
Publisher: name: RMIT University

Subjects: classificationCode: 330202
subject: Building construction management and project planning

description: The construction industry has been regarded as one of the most hazardous industries in Australia. Occupational health and safety (OHS) training has been recognized as a formal strategy to prevent illnesses, accidents, and fatalities in construction. However, occupational health and safety training may not lead to improved work or health and safety performance if construction employees do not implement their learned skills and knowledge in practice. Unfortunately, the lack of training transfer has long been considered as a critical problem in the construction industry, as well as other industries. As an attempt to gain a better understanding on the training transfer problem, this research was conducted to investigate the transfer of training among Australian construction workers participating in OHS training courses. An explanatory sequential mixed method was applied to examine two stages of the training transfer process, which are the intention to transfer formed after training and the transfer of training performed at the workplace. In the first stage, this research tested a model of intention to transfer, which was developed based on the Theory of Planned Behaviour, by using structural equation modelling. The PhD research identified factors associated with the intention to transfer and salient beliefs associated with those factors. By conducting multigroup analysis, the research also found that the intentions to transfer among managerial and non-managerial construction workers are affected by different factors. In the second stage, this research applied framework analysis to identify themes related to social support and workplace factors that influence the implementation of learned OHS training content. The research also found characteristics of favourable OHS training that Australian construction workers would like to experience. Based on the findings, this research proposed implications to increase the transfer of training among Australian construction workers. Training providers and construction organisations may use this PhD research as a reference to develop strategies to increase the utilisation of trained OHS skills and knowledge of their trainees/employees.

Isomorphism in communication design

subject: Visual communication design (incl. graphic design)

description: My research interrogates the concept of *isomorphism* in relation to communication design. Familiar in mathematics, chemistry and psychology, etymologically the word isomorph derives from the Greek iso, meaning "equal", and morphosis, meaning to form or to shape. I use it in a design context following the English designer, writer, and educator, Norman Potter (1923-1995).

I transpose Potter's notion of the isomorph to communication design for contemporary art, which has been my area of practice since 2002. There, I investigate its resonance with communication design approaches that emphasise extreme fidelity to the artistic content that they represent. A further transposition applies these pedantic notions of representational fidelity to communication design for neuroscience.

I come to argue for a mode of communication design practice that includes research as a core competence, and is not limited to addressing problems already formulated by the existing conditions and protagonists in the fields it engages with.

description: The progress in artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms over the past decade has enabled the development of new methods for the objective measurement of eating, including both the measurement of eating episodes as well as the measurement of in-meal eating behavior. These allow the study of eating behavior outside the laboratory in free-living conditions, without the need for video recordings and laborious manual annotations. In this paper, we present a high-level overview of our recent work on intake monitoring using a smartwatch, as well as methods using an in-ear microphone. We also present evaluation results of these methods in challenging, real-world datasets. Furthermore, we discuss use-cases of such intake monitoring tools for advancing research in eating behavior, for improving dietary monitoring, as well as for developing evidence-based health policies. Our goal is to inform researchers and users of intake monitoring methods regarding (i) the development of new methods based on commercially available devices, (ii) what to expect in terms of effectiveness, and (iii) how these methods can be used in research as well as in practical applications.

description: The vehicle body is arguably the biggest contributor to the vehicle dimensional outcome and is the most integral factor shaping the perception of the design and brand image. In car body manufacturing, one of the big challenges in high rate body production lines and a hidden contributor to dimensional quality of the body is designing an optimum weld process that delivers the minimum process driven dimensional variations. The most challenging part of the body production line is the Framing Geometry Setting Station, in which main assemblies of the body are joined to shape the bodyshell. Even in the biggest car manufacturing companies, the body process design is mainly done by process engineers relying on their individual experiences, without proper simulation or CAE analysis to optimize the processes.

Through collaboration with Ford Motor Company, in this research we investigated a real industry problem using one of the Ford's products CAD data. From the cycle time assumptions, the station weld capacity was calculated as maximum of 60 welds in Framing Geometry Setting station. This meant all the main assemblies in this station had to be dimensionally set and fixed using only 60 welds. Knowing the product design of this vehicle included 850 welds for Framing process, the question was how to design a weld process of 60 welds out of 850 welds to best set the geometry and to minimize the process driven dimensional variation. Mathematically, there are unlimited solutions for a combination of 60 out of 850, hence unlimited process designs. So, the key challenge was how to design an optimum process with 60 welds that could best set and fix the geometry of the bodyshell.

We first assessed the application of Genetic Algorithm in this field and performed the first level optimization through Genetic Algorithm. This resulted in around 99% reduction of non-viable process designs (solutions). Next, we investigated the application of Finite Element Analysis in assessing the process driven dimensional variations. The results of the FE simulation were assessed through evaluating the dimensional variation of 30 critical-to-quality measurement points on the FE models. Root Sum of Square (RSS) of the dimensional variation of the 30 measurement points was defined as an index to evaluate the geometrical quality of each process design. The design with the smallest RSS represented the optimum process design delivering the minimum process driven dimensional variation. Using all the findings from Genetic Algorithm models and the FE assessment, a set of process design guidelines were developed to help designing an optimum process without the need to run Genetic Algorithm or FE models. This is a novel approach that solves a real industry problem.

description: Radiomics with deep learning models have become popular in computer-aided diagnosis and have outperformed human experts on many clinical tasks. Specifically, radiomic models based on artificial intelligence (AI) are using medical data (i.e., images, molecular data, clinical variables, etc.) for predicting clinical tasks like Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). In this review, we summarized and discussed the radiomic techniques used for ASD analysis. Currently, the limited radiomic work of ASD is related to variation of morphological features of brain thickness that is different from texture analysis. These techniques are based on imaging shape features that can be used with predictive models for predicting ASD. This review explores the progress of ASD-based radiomics with a brief description of ASD and the current non-invasive technique used to classify between ASD and Healthy Control (HC) subjects. With AI, new radiomic models using the deep learning techniques will be also described. To consider the texture analysis with deep CNNs, more investigations are suggested to be integrated with additional validation steps on various MRI sites.

description: Rapid identification of newly emerging or circulating viruses is an important first step toward managing the public health response to potential outbreaks. A portable virus capture device coupled with label-free Raman Spectroscopy holds the promise of fast detection by rapidly obtaining the Raman signature of a virus followed by a machine learning approach applied to recognize the virus based on its Raman spectrum, which is used as a fingerprint. We present such a machine learning approach for analyzing Raman spectra of human and avian viruses. A Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) classifier specifically designed for spectral data achieves very high accuracy for a variety of virus type or subtype identification tasks. In particular, it achieves 99% accuracy for classifying influenza virus type A vs. type B, 96% accuracy for classifying four subtypes of influenza A, 95% accuracy for differentiating enveloped and non-enveloped viruses, and 99% accuracy for differentiating avian coronavirus (infectious bronchitis virus, IBV) from other avian viruses. Furthermore, interpretation of neural net responses in the trained CNN model using a full-gradient algorithm highlights Raman spectral ranges that are most important to virus identification. By correlating ML-selected salient Raman ranges with the signature ranges of known biomolecules and chemical functional groups (for example, amide, amino acid, carboxylic acid), we verify that our ML model effectively recognizes the Raman signatures of proteins, lipids and other vital functional groups present in different viruses and uses a weighted combination of these signatures to identify viruses.

description: Die computergestützte Erschließung und Analyse von Musikdaten ist eine zentrale Aufgabenstellung der Musikverarbeitung. Ein wichtiges Teilproblem ist die Erkennung von tonalen Strukturen wie Akkorden oder Skalen. In diesem Beitrag diskutieren wir Methoden für die Visualisierung harmonischer Verläufe von Musikwerken und wenden diese exemplarisch auf die Tetralogie Der Ring des Nibelungen von Richard Wagner an. Insbesondere stellen wir ein Verfahren vor, bei dem unterschiedliche Aufnahmen (Versionen) desselben Musikwerkes simultan analysiert werden. Als einen wesentlichen Beitrag führen wir ein geeignetes Farbschema ein, mit dem die Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschiede der Analyseergebnisse über verschiedene Versionen hinweg geeignet dargestellt und visuell erfahrbar gemacht werden. Am Beispiel der automatisierten Analyse harmonischer Strukturen deuten wir an, welches Potenzial informatische Methoden für die musikwissenschaftliche Forschung bieten und wie Fragestellungen der Musikwissenschaft einen Ausgangspunkt für neue informatische Methoden darstellen können.
Market structure, strategic interaction, and banks' behaviours in lending and risk-taking: evidence from Vietnamese banks

description: This study focuses on bank lending, risk-taking and the market structure manifested through strategic interaction in Vietnam. Strategic interaction, classified as aggressive competition (strategic complements) and accommodating competition (strategic substitutes), describes a firm’s reaction to price and/or quantity change by its competitors. During the past 10 years, the Vietnamese banking industry has been growing fast and become increasingly competitive, motivating commercial banks to improve efficiency. In this context, this study aims to examine the impact of efficiency on strategic interaction, a characteristic of market structure. In addition, such a competitive environment together with high credit demand in Vietnam can lead to a race to the bottom in terms of banking stability by inducing banks to pursue aggressive business strategies and to take on excessive risks. Given that strategic interaction can capture banks’ behaviours in a rivalrous situation, this study also investigates the impact of strategic interaction on risk-taking behaviours and the moderating role of strategic interaction on the propagation of macroeconomic shocks to bank lending of Vietnamese banks. Using a sample of 26 commercial banks in Vietnam from 2008 to 2018, this study employs Three-stage least square, System Generalised Method of Moments, and Panel Data regressions to analyse the data. This study finds that efficiency has a positive impact on strategic interaction among commercial banks, and this impact is stronger for banks with lower growth. In other words, as banks’ efficiency improves, they tend to be more active in strategic interaction with their rivals. The result extends the Efficient-Structure hypothesis emphasizing the importance of efficiency on market structure manifested through strategic interaction. This study also finds that the effect of macroeconomic and monetary policy shocks on bank lending behaviour is less pronounced when banks engage in a less competitively aggressive environment. The study contributes to the literature of bank lending by incorporating macroeconomic environment and behaviour (micro)-level to explore the credit lending of an individual bank. Furthermore, this study provides evidence that a competitively aggressive environment is unfavourable for banks striving for stability, and fast-growing banks reduce risk-taking more rapidly in response to aggressive competition. The study contributes to a growing body of literature on risk-taking by drawing the attention of bank managers to the importance of asset growth in maintaining market share.

description: Social capital underpins institutional and in turn a country’s economic development. Given that families are social capital incubators, and their businesses are highly influential in developing economies, it is appropriate to investigate how family businesses develop and manage social capital resources through the important process of succession from one generation to the next. This qualitative thesis explores the Vietnamese family business experience and behaviour throughout intergenerational succession through the lens of social capital theory. It employs 24 in-depth semi-structured interviews to identify how the next generation of family business leaders in southern Vietnam are modifying social capital to cope with Vietnam’s ongoing economic transition post Doi Moi in 1986. These findings demonstrate the fragility of social capital through family business succession and the potential loss of competitive and cooperative resources. This thesis extends our understanding of the effect that succession has on the various social capital dimensions identifying informal institutions and logic that underpinned survival through economic transition as significant impediments to relationship and resource transfer through succession.

description: In this study, we investigate the factors at employee level that influence the adoption of a customer-facing video conferencing software in an insurance company. Despite the associated benefit of significantly reduced driving times for the insurance agents, less than half of our sample finally adopted the software. We analyse the employees’ self-efficacy, intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, risk propensity as well as trust in superiors as factors influencing their adoption behaviour. Our findings indicate that risk propensity and trust in superiors influence the behaviour only insignificantly, whereas self-efficacy as well as intrinsic and extrinsic motivation have an impact on the adoption behaviour. Surprisingly though, the extrinsic motivation points into the opposite direction as hypothesised. Employees who score high on extrinsic motivation are less likely to adopt this workplace innovation.

Insbesondere im Kontext der Wartung bieten Datenbrillen die Möglichkeit, Mitarbeiter mit Schritt-für-Schritt Anleitungen zu unterstützen, ohne dass diese ihre Arbeit unterbrechen müssen. Bisher gestaltete sich jedoch die Interaktion mit der Technologie als wesentlicher limitierender Faktor. Weiterhin fehlen empirische Nachweise, welche Bedienmodalität mit der Datenbrille sich für die Arbeitsweise von Servicetechnikern eignet. Innerhalb der vorliegenden Studie wurde ein Experiment mit 130 Probanden durchgeführt, die eine repräsentative Verteilerwartung mithilfe von Buttons, Sprach-und Gestensteuerung durchführten. Anschließend wurden Beanspruchung, Benutzerfreundlichkeit und Zeit evaluiert. Die Resultate zeigten, dass Sprache die Eingabemethode mit der niedrigsten Beanspruchung und höchsten Benutzerfreundlichkeit ist. Die Ergebnisse dienen sowohl für Forschung als auch Praxis als Grundlage für Bewertung und Potenzialeinschätzung von Datenbrillenanwendungen in der Wartung.
Amplification, inference, and the manifestation of objective classical information

description: Our everyday reality is characterized by objective information$\unicode{x2013}$information that is selected and amplified by the environment that interacts with quantum systems. Many observers can accurately infer that information indirectly by making measurements on fragments of the environment. The correlations between the system, $\mathcal{S}$, and a fragment, $\mathcal{F}$, of the environment, $\mathcal{E}$, is often quantified by the quantum mutual information or the Holevo quantity that bounds the classical information about $\mathcal{S}$ transmittable by a quantum channel $\mathcal{F}$. The latter is a quantum mutual information but of a classical-quantum state where measurement has selected outcomes on $\mathcal{S}$. The measurement generically reflects the influence of the remaining environment, $\mathcal{E}/\mathcal{F}$, but can also reflect hypothetical questions to deduce the structure of $\mathcal{S}\mathcal{F}$ correlations. Recently, Touil et al. examined a different Holevo quantity, one from a quantum-classical state (a quantum $\mathcal{S}$ to a measured $\mathcal{F}$). As shown here, this quantity upper bounds any accessible classical information about $\mathcal{S}$ in $\mathcal{F}$ and can yield a tighter bound than the typical Holevo quantity. When good decoherence is present$\unicode{x2013}$when the remaining environment, $\mathcal{E}/\mathcal{F}$, has effectively measured the pointer states of $\mathcal{S}$$\unicode{x2013}$this accessibility bound is the accessible information. For the specific model of Touil et al., the accessible information is related to the error probability for optimal detection and, thus, has the same behavior as the quantum Chernoff bound. The latter reflects amplification and provides a universal approach, as well as a single-shot framework, to quantify records of the missing, classical information about $\mathcal{S}$.

description: The formation of gas giant planets must occur during the first few Myr of a star's lifetime, when the protoplanetary disc still contains sufficient gas to be accreted onto the planetary core. The majority of protoplanetary discs are exposed to strong ultraviolet irradiation from nearby massive stars, which drives winds and depletes the mass budget for planet formation. It remains unclear to what degree external photoevaporation affects the formation of massive planets. In this work, we present a simple one dimensional model for the growth and migration of a massive planet under the influence of external FUV fields. We find that even moderate FUV fluxes $F_\mathrm{FUV}\gtrsim 100 \, G_0$ have a strong influence on planet mass and migration. By decreasing the local surface density and shutting off accretion onto the planet, external irradiation suppresses planet masses and halts migration early. The distribution of typical stellar birth environments can therefore produce an anti-correlation between semi-major axis and planet mass, which may explain the apparent decrease in planet occurrence rates at orbital periods $P_\mathrm{orb}\gtrsim 10^3$ days. Even moderate fluxes $F_\mathrm{FUV}$ strongly suppress giant planet formation and inward migration for any initial semi-major axis if the stellar host mass $M_*\lesssim 0.5\, M_\odot$, consistent with findings that massive planet occurrence is much lower around such stars. The outcomes of our prescription for external disc depletion show significant differences to the current approximation adopted in state-of-the-art population synthesis models, motivating future careful treatment of this important process.

description: In the context of the S-PLUS Fornax Project (S+FP), we analyze the galaxy population in the direction of the Fornax cluster ($D\approx 20$~Mpc). We have 23 fields of size $1.4^{\circ}\times 1.4^{\circ}$, covering the projected positions of 999 Fornax galaxies reported in the literature. 244 of those galaxies are detected with confident photometry in our fields which were observed simultaneously in 12 photometric bands. Besides those of Fornax galaxies, we obtained confident structural and photometric parameters for $\approx 3\times10^5$ additional galaxies detected in our fields. In this work we present preliminary results on the characterization of the galaxy population of the Fornax cluster with respect to the background galaxy population. Among other goals, we expect that such a characterization provides photometric criteria to identify new candidate members of the cluster.

description: This dissertation presents a creative practice-based experiment in civil celebrancy with the focus on contemporary celebrancy. The dissertation constructs and reflects upon a Ceremony of Restoration to give meaning, healing, and mending for people’s lives in the wake of traumatic, chaotic, and unresolved events. This ceremony can be used by the person, or people, at its centre to give expression to such experiences and feelings and to build resilience through a secular ritual involving their stories, memories, images, personal artefacts, and music. x, provides the theoretical framework for exploring how civil celebrancy can be extended through creative practice to assist people through grief and unresolved issues. The concept of Sashiko guides the ceremony as a ritual for visibly engaging and stitching together the layers of people’s lived experience giving validation and a process for grief. The research takes an autoethnographic approach, with me as the subject, making visible my scars and wounds, my grief and darkness to create an innovative ceremony model that can be used to support wellbeing for individuals, families, and society. It draws upon my own experiences of life, loss, and my civil celebrant practice, which is I believe under-researched profession in Australian society.
Quantum dot molecules and their electromagnetic response

description: There exists a broad range of semiconductor nanostructures that can be fabricated with a variety of geometries and properties. The breadth of applications of these systems is remarkable having proven useful in biological sensing, single photon sources and quantum computing, to name a few. The consistently improving ability to meticulously tailor these structure presents a considerable amount of work for theorists modelling these systems.

In this thesis we put forward an efficient modelling framework capable of exploring the properties of a semiconductor nanostructures. We demonstrate that the finite element method in conjunction with the Schrödinger-Poisson equations is a sufficiently flexible method to examine many of these structures. This modelling framework can account for quantum dot structures in the presence of electromagnetic fields. Furthermore, it can accurately model the quasi-particle excitations that emerge in these systems, excitons, that consist of an electron-hole pair bound by the Coulomb interaction.

With this modelling framework we explore a variety of semiconductor nanostructures. Our initial investigation considers single quantum dots, some in the presence of electromagnetic fields. However, we extend our analysis to include quantum dot molecules. These include pairs of vertically stacked quantum dots grown via the Stranski-Krastanov method where an electric field is utilised to separate the electron and the hole. Other systems examined are colloidal quantum dots bound by organic linker molecules and three quantum dot arrays arranged in a triangular formation that have their emission properties altered by a perpendicular magnetic field. The specific systems we examine provide insights into their physical properties but also demonstrates how our modelling framework could be applied to many other structures.

description: The Internet of Things (IoT) framework expects to connect everyone and everything from anywhere. Due to its advantages, such as mobility, agility, and real-time interactivity, IoT has a wide range of applications in transportation, industry, and healthcare, to name a few. As many IoT devices collect and process high-value information, they are becoming a goldmine of data for malicious actors. Since the communication network may not be entirely credible, and the IoT data may be accidentally or maliciously modified during the transmission, a challenging issue is to protect the authenticity and integrity of the shared data. Moreover, in some IoT applications, data owners may worry about the potential use of their sensitive or private data; users may want their identities to remain anonymous during data transmission. Another essential requirement is therefore to ensure that certain privacy-sensitive information cannot be disclosed. Historically, several authentication schemes have been proposed to address these concerns in IoT. Unfortunately, most of them cannot meet functionality requirements in flexible IoT environments. Other schemes, however, do not address the problem of efficiency. In view of this, the thesis aims to provide practical data authentication with privacy-preserving mechanisms for IoT applications.

In this thesis, we first propose a lightweight hash-based redactable signature (RS) scheme for selective disclosure of authenticated data for applications such as healthcare IoT and smart grids. The scheme offers a signature holder the flexibility to remove parts of unneeded or privacy-sensitive data depending on different data usage demands and ensures data verifiability for third-party verifiers. Secondly, considering that a dishonest signature holder in an RS scheme can arbitrarily delete the signed data, resulting in information ambiguity or loss of data availability, we construct an efficient certificateless RS scheme with redaction control to achieve better reliability assurance for IoT. Thirdly, considering the vulnerabilities of existing certificateless aggregate signature (CLAS) schemes and certificate-based aggregate signature (CBAS) schemes, we present new efficient CLAS and CBAS constructions with user anonymity protection for IoT, respectively. Both of our designs can provide data authenticity, conditional user anonymity protection, and batch verification efficiency and can be used for applications such as vehicular ad hoc networks or wireless medical sensor networks. Together, for each scheme, we also provide rigorous mathematical proof and experimental evaluation and comparison with other state-of-the-art schemes to demonstrate its practicability.

description: In this work we present a novel method for reconstructing 3D surfaces using a multi-beam imaging sonar. We integrate the intensities measured by the sonar from different viewpoints for fixed cell positions in a 3D grid. For each cell we integrate a feature vector that holds the mean intensity for a discretized range of viewpoints. Based on the feature vectors and independent sparse range measurements that act as ground truth information, we train convolutional neural networks that allow us to predict the signed distance and direction to the nearest surface for each cell. The predicted signed distances can be projected into a truncated signed distance field (TSDF) along the predicted directions. Utilizing the marching cubes algorithm, a polygon mesh can be rendered from the TSDF. Our method allows a dense 3D reconstruction from a limited set of viewpoints and was evaluated on three real-world datasets.
