Investigation of fluid-dynamic cavity oscillations and the effects of flow angle in an automotive context using an open-jet wind tunnel
Creators: name: Milbank, Juliette
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: Aeroacoustic whistles are a significant source of customer complaints to automotive manufacturers. Whistles can occur on many such components, but the relative position and configuration of rearview mirrors means they are a more problematic source of tonal noise on vehicles. The low subsonic complex turbulent flow, combined with small cavity scales, determines the possible whistle mechanisms. The one considered to be most problematic, fluid-dynamic cavity resonance, is the topic of this research thesis. The research scope is limited to the automotive environment of external rearview mirrors and the fluid-dynamic resonance mechanism: low subsonic Mach number, M = 0.05 - 0.13; laminar boundary layers; and two-dimensional, acoustically compact cavities. The low unit-cost of rearview mirrors and the desire to have simple identification and prediction schemes, that could be used by p roduction engineers, determined an empirical approach.

A search of the existing literature revealed that there were some data on cavities of the above scale in low Mach number flow, but quoted errors in empirical descriptions were large and there was very little research on the effects of flow yaw angle on the chosen resonance mechanism. The research therefore aims to determine whether existing empirical descriptions of fluid-dynamic cavity resonance are suitable for the prediction of the resonance characteristics, with sufficient accuracy to enable unambiguous identification of the presence of the resonance and its mechanism. A second aim is to investigate the effects of a feature of the automotive flow environment, flow yaw angle, on the resonance. Flow yaw angle is determined by those components of the flow in the same plane as the surface in which the cavity is situated.

An experimental program was undertaken using a purpose-built aeroacoustic wind tunnel and a simple cavity model. Testing with two types of cavity configurations, as well as flow visualisation, investigated the main features of the resonance in time-averaged yawed flow. Within the scope of this thesis, it is shown that fluid-dynamic cavity resonance characteristics can be accurately identified by a simple empirical model, even in yawed flow. Various descriptors allow identification of the resonance threshold, stage, frequency and relative amplitude in non-yawed flow, while the frequency and stage can also be identified in yawed flow. The relative decrease in resonance amplitude in yawed flow, although identified for these experiments, would depend on the degree of spanwise variation in the boundary layer characteristics for a given cavity configuration. The results also identify significant issues with testing in a free jet tunnel, due to the nature of fluid-dynamic cavity resonance and the fluctuation energy content in free shear layers. Despite this, the thesis aims are achieved, and appropriate design guidelines are produced for automotive designers.

description: In this work, we study the fatigue behavior of a C/SiC composite produced by several cycles of polymer infil- tration and pyrolysis (PIP). Fatigue tests were performed with maximum stresses corresponding to 60–90% of the tensile strength of the composite. During the fatigue tests, acoustic emission (AE) monitoring was performed and the measured AE energy was utilized to quantify the damage and distinguish possible damage mechanisms. Most of the fatigue damage in the form of matrix cracking, interface damage and fiber breakage occurs in the first cycle. As loading cycles proceeded, damage in form of matrix crack re-opening and interfacial friction constantly accumulates. Nevertheless, all samples survived the run-out of 1,000,000 cycles. After the fatigue tests, an in- crease of the tensile strength is observed. This phenomenon is associated with the relief of process-induced in- ternal thermal stresses and the weakening of the fiber-matrix interface. In general, the studied material shows very high relative fatigue limit of 90% of its tensile strength

description: Background: An early onset of depression is associated with higher chronicity and disability, more stressful life events (SLEs), higher negative emotionality as described by the primary emotion SADNESS and more severe depressive symptomatology compared to depression onset later in life. Additionally, methylation of the serotonin transporter gene (SLC6A4) is associated with SLEs and depressive symptoms. Methods: We investigated the relation of SLEs, SLC6A4 methylation in peripheral blood, the primary emotions SADNESS and SEEKING (measured by the Affective Neuroscience Personality Scales) as well as depressive symptom severity to age at depression onset in a sample of N = 146 inpatients suffering from major depression. Results: Depressed women showed higher SADNESS (t (91.05) = − 3.17, p = 0.028, d = − 0.57) and higher SLC6A4 methylation (t (88.79) = − 2.95, p = 0.02, d = − 0.55) compared to men. There were associations between SLEs, primary emotions and depression severity, which partly differed between women and men. The Akaike information criterion (AIC) indicated the selection of a model including sex, SLEs, SEEKING and SADNESS for the prediction of age at depression onset. SLC6A4 methylation was not related to depression severity, age at depression onset or SLEs in the entire group, but positively related to depression severity in women. Conclusions: Taken together, we provide further evidence that age at depression onset is associated with SLEs, personality and depression severity. However, we found no associations between age at onset and SLC6A4 methylation. The joint investigation of variables originating in biology, psychology and psychiatry could make an important contribution to understanding the development of depressive disorders by elucidating potential subtypes of depression.

description: Herein, the optimization of (In)GaN heterostructures for chemical sensing is presented. The metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE)-grown sensor consists of an InxGa1−xN quantum well (QW) placed close to the surface of a GaN substrate with a thin GaN cap layer on top. The photoluminescence (PL) wavelength of this QW is sensitive to surface potential changes and thus its optical signal is used as sensor response. Simulations are performed with nextnano to improve its sensitivity. Sensor parameters such as the cap layer thickness d, QW thickness Lz, background buffer layer doping concentration N, and indium concentration x of the QW are varied. It is found that a thin cap layer, together with high background doping and medium QW thickness, is ideal. The indium content does not show a strong influence on sensitivity. The trends found in the simulations are mostly confirmed in real-world experiments performed in a chemical sensing setup, yet quantitative deviations exist.

description: There is evidence to suggest heterosexual men respond to threats to their masculinity in a number of deleterious ways, but few studies have examined this relationship in sexual minority men. For this reason, the present study sought to investigate the effects of an experimentally manipulated masculinity threat on the moods, internalized heterosexism, and self-esteem of gay men, while exploring the potential for gender affirmation exercises to moderate such effects. A sample of 129 gay men were recruited and asked to engage in either a gender affirmation or control writing task, after which they were either exposed to a masculinity threat or control. Findings across conditions were nonsignificant for each of the outcome measures regardless of writing task or threat exposure. Findings were similarly nonsignificant for the interaction between these variables. These findings further complicate the limited and often inconsistent literature on gay men and masculinity.
Public relations, discourse practice and the public interest: analysis of a health communication campaign
Creators: name: Pendleton, Jannet
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: The role of public relations in civil society and the degree to which public relations work exerts influence on the shape and texture of public discourse in democratic societies is a contentious issue. While public relations has grown to be a significant industry in terms of revenue and employment, it continues to attract public criticism; and the related academic discipline, with its well developed body of knowledge, receives general low regard as a field of professional practice.
Through a critical discourse analysis of Australia’s pneumococcal communication campaign and its media coverage between 2001 to 2004, this study explores the role and influence of public relations in the construction of public discourse. Current understandings of the social role of public relations are traced, pointing out the lack of consensus in the literature on an appropriate articulation of the relationship between public relations and the public interest. Conceptualisations of an effective public sphere are reviewed and a perspective which draws on the work of Habermas, Foucault and Bourdieu is proposed as a means by which media discourse may be examined. The assumption underpinning this study is that one of the reasons for the negative perception of public relations is its failure to articulate its social role: that is, how PR power is enacted in the public interest.
The study reveals the complexity of public relations discourses and the pervasiveness of their influence. It also reveals the complex relationships between discourse actors seeking to enact their interests in political debate in the public sphere The importance of ethical and accountable practices to both the reputation and development of public relations as a profession are highlighted. The analysis of the discourse practices of PR enacted in the public sphere reveals a misuse of power and a distortion of public debate.
The study finds that public relations professionals have a major role to play in discourses concerning the creation and maintenance of civil society. As well as communicating the strategic intents of their clients, public relations needs to a professional ideology which recognises their role in multiple public spheres and take part in debates on issues of concern to the profession. There must also be clear acknowledgement and articulation of the wider social role played by public relations. Deeper appreciation of this role and its implications for the shaping of civil society strengthens the imperative for practitioners to understand and enact ethical behaviour.
Job satisfaction of Saudi nurses working in Saudi Arabian public hospitals
Creators: name: Alshmemri, Mohammed Saleh
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: This research study explored the factors that positively influence job satisfaction levels of Saudi national nurses working in three main public hospitals in the Makkah region of Saudi Arabia. A mixed-method , descriptive, explorative cross-sectional design was employed Quantitative and qualitative data were collected in two phases. In the first phase 272 Saudi nurses were surveyed to identify factors they believed led to their job satisfaction. The second phase consisted of face-to-face interviews with 17 Saudi nurses to explore and identify in greater depth the factors they perceived as most important in providing them positive feelings about their jobs leading to their job satisfaction. Quantitative data were analysed through the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS, V18.0); descriptive and inferential statistical tests were utilised. Qualitative data were analysed with a thematic approach, using NVivo 9® qualitative analysis software.

The findings of this study indicate that in general Saudi nurses working in public hospitals were not satisfied with their jobs. The female Saudi nurses were more dissatisfied with their jobs than the male nurses. Nurses who were responsible for dependent adults and who had worked in public hospitals for a period of 5–10 years were mostly dissatisfied with their jobs as well as those nurses who have worked for a period 4–10 years. The study suggests the need for interventions to assist in reducing job stress and maintaining a high level of job satisfaction by decreasing work overload, and improving leadership styles, that are antecedents to job dissatisfaction. Whilst increasing the number of Saudi nationals who study nursing will also alleviate the shortage of nurses and help to bring stability to the nursing workforce in Saudi Arabia. Which will lead to efficient functioning of the healthcare system, especially in the public hospitals. These findings and recommendations might assist in informing the decisions of Saudi policymakers and assist them in developing long-term sustainable strategies to recruit and retain national nurses to service the Saudi healthcare delivery system.

description: In this paper, the mechanical characteristics of a miniature optomechanical accelerometer, similar to those proposed for a wide range of applications, have been investigated. With the help of numerical modelling, characteristics such as eigenfrequencies, quality factor, displacement magnitude, normalized translations, normalized rotations versus eigenfrequencies, as well as spatial distributions of the azimuthal and axial displacements and stored energy density in a wide frequency range starting from the stationary case have been obtained. Dependencies of the main mechanical characteristics versus the minimal and maximal system dimensions have been plotted. Geometries of the optomechanical accelerometers with micron size parts providing the low and the high first eigenfrequencies are presented. It is shown that via the choice of the geometrical parameters, the minimal measured acceleration level can be raised substantially.

The auditory centre : research and design of acoustic environments and spatial sound projects
Creators: name: Harvey, Lawrence
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: Design culture is tentatively embracing the acoustic conditions and auditory awareness of spaces and objects, thus creating new opportunities for spatial sound practitioners. This thesis examines the making of seven spatial sound design projects in diverse milieux and an eighth project - the establishment of an electroacoustic studio within a school of architecture and design. The projects and the studio are considered models for the ways in which electroacoustic practices might advance the auditory spatial awareness of students and researchers in the academy, and the general community through an interlocking program of teaching, research and events. The creation of the projects and establishment of the studios also articulate a transformation in my own practice from composer to design researcher. Five of the projects are intended to engender in listeners a greater awareness of the acoustic environment and the auditory spatial qualities of those environments, which listeners daily inhabit. Supporting these project studies is a discussion on issues and conditions of making and materials to elucidate my approach to creating spatial sound designs in diverse milieux. Two of the projects investigated the auditory spatial awareness of different communities in Melbourne, with the view of establishing ideas about the auditory culture and the actual environments of that experience. The final project is a facility to house a community of practitioners who aspire to privilege the auditory design and experience of space, through a series of research, teaching and performance activities. While evaluating just how my practice transformed over the course of the projects, I also propose that the combination of the Studio's main elements is critical to the advancement of sound-based research and design as a design discipline.

Urban generosity: design strategies for an architecture of liveability

description: As practice based research, this exegesis is a dissemination of design strategies embedded in the process termed Urban Generosity.

The beginning of the twentieth first century has seen the rise of greater populations within cities creating new demands on the form and structure of cities. This proliferation of human activity has given rise to the nature of cities, a place of exchange and surplus, a place of urban generosity.

This research has observed how local conditions can readily be shifted given our global assertion of liveability and governance, with either detrimental or enhancing outcomes, on the long-term generosity of the city. Through observation it is proposed that urban generosity is active, it facilitates a series of design responses that transcends architectural iconic object making through a series of subtle design devices.

Urban generosity is the investigation of an architecture that authenticates the local context and allows the imagination of others to delight within a given context. It is fundamentally about clothing that culture and its binding civic effect that extends the individual site into a wider context harnessing the forces of globalisation to develop a civic surplus.

The design investigations have developed around the key question of how architecture can extend itself beyond a mid-twentieth century form/ function paradigm? What opportunities does architecture offer the environment in which it is placed?

description: We derive Markovian master equations for single and interacting harmonic systems in different scenarios, including strong internal coupling. By comparing the dynamics resulting from the corresponding master equations with numerical simulations of the global system's evolution, we delimit their validity regimes and assess the robustness of the assumptions usually made in the process of deriving the reduced Markovian dynamics. The results of these illustrative examples serve to clarify the general properties of other open quantum system scenarios subject to treatment within a Markovian approximation.
Casting and Straying: hybrid approaches to understanding the dissolution of the body into landscape and landscape into body
Creators: name: Glisovic, Smiljana
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: This research project interrogates our understanding of the relationship between body and landscape through audiovisual art practice. It takes displacement as the framework for this exploration, while specifically drawing on audiovisual field research undertaken in Europe in 2011. Deploying practice-led research and its attendant approaches and methodologies, it culminates in Straying, an audiovisual installation that creates a space of expression that is beyond the seeable and sayable. The poetic and documentary impulse that drive the creation of the installation also help move beyond the representational, beyond each form, and towards a hybrid, ‘haptic’ space of experience.

Casting, the exegetical component of the research, offers up various prisms through which to engage with the installation work. The work’s nomadic theoretical terrain looks to the practice of poetry, documentary, the essay, translation, philosophy, intercultural film practice, and the phenomenology of the moving image as a means to frame and illuminate the project. This transdisciplinary, practice-based research examines unique ways of knowing and knowledge production that transcend habitual ontological and epistemological frameworks.
Exposed to the elements: representations of atmospheric phenomena and the construction of a cultural psyche
Creators: name: Duxbury, Lesley
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: By referencing images and texts of selected nineteenth century artists and writers, I will elucidate the ways in which experiences and representations of atmospheric phenomena have permeated the English cultural psyche and become a significant element in the definition of Englishness.

The inherent properties of printmaking, such as sameness and difference and repetition and reproduction will be investigated, properties that underpin our readings of atmospheric phenomena. The main emphases of this research are the elemental forces of the weather, the transitory effects of light and atmosphere and their influence on the psyche.

I will employ a diversity of media to investigate the potential for Printmaking to enhance representations of atmospheric phenomena. This will include traditional printmaking techniques such as relief printing alongside more contemporary means of reproduction and replication such as digital imaging and photography. I will encompass a wide range of formal vocabularies from minimalism to text-based conceptualism in the production of the work.

The key questions of this research project are:

• What significant changes occurred in the culture of early nineteenth century England that inspired artists and writers to place such particular significance on the representation of atmospheric phenomena?

• In what ways have atmospheric phenomena and daily experiences of the weather entered the English cultural psyche?

• In what ways can print media be utilised to interpret nineteenth century images and texts and give them significance in contemporary art practice? The project will culminate in a body of print media based work and an exegesis that will contextualise the visual research.

description: (1) Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS) that mainly affects young adults and females more than males. The detection of intrathecal IgG synthesis (IIS) on cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis supports the diagnosis of MS. A sexual dimorphism has recently been described in CSF protein content. (2) Methods: Clinical and laboratory data from 340 MS patients (F = 231, M = 99) and 89 people with clinically isolated syndrome (CIS) (F = 57, M = 32) were retrospectively analyzed to assess the presence of variables affected by sex and age. (3) Results: In MS, the albumin quotient (QAlb), reflecting the blood–CSF barrier (BCSFB) function, was higher in males (5.6 vs. 4.34) and correlated to age with a constant difference between sexes (F = 41.71). In CIS patients, QAlb increased with age only in males (r = 0.3567). Age was positively correlated to disease duration and severity in MS (r = 0.3502, r = 0.2986, respectively). No differences emerged for quantitative and qualitative IIS determinations. (4) Discussion: Although the main difference between males and females concerns the function of BCSFB assessed by QAlb, this sexual dimorphism does not affect the determination of the IIS evaluated both by quantitative and qualitative methods.

description: This explorative descriptive design study explores the engagement between General Practitioners (GPs) and community mental health staff working to care for mental health consumers. Mental health clinicians, community support workers and General Practitioners working closely with mental health clients were invited to complete a web based survey using Survey Monkey. A total of 653 GPs and 850 mental health workers participated in the study. Consent to participate in the study was implied by the completion of the anonymous survey. The researcher used the RMIT University Protocol for researchers planning to conduct a web-based survey. The study explored and described how this scheme has enhanced communication between these two groups to improve outcomes for people with mental illness who are living in the community. In addition this study considered demographic constructs such as qualification, length of experience and GP willingness to engage with this Commonwealth initiative. Results of this study outline the profile and perceptions of community mental health workers and the GPs they work with.

description: Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are considered nontoxic upon acute exposure, at least when they are equal or above 5 nm size. However, the safeguard mechanisms contributing to maintain cell viability are scarcely explored so far. Here, we investigated the cyto-protective role of Glyoxalase 1 (Glo1), a key enzyme involved in the control of deleterious dicarbonyl stress, in two human cell types of the respiratory tract, after an acute exposure to AuNPs with a main size of 5 nm. We found that the redox sensitive Nrf-2-mediated up-regulation of Glo1 was crucial to protect cells from AuNPs-induced toxicity. However, cells challenged with a pro-inflammatory/pro-oxidative insult become susceptible to the pro-apoptotic effect of AuNPs. Notably, the surviving cells undergo epigenetic changes associated with the onset of a partial epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) process (metastable phenotype), driven by the increase in dicarbonyl stress, consequent to Glo1 inactivation. As a physiological respiratory epithelium is required for the normal respiratory function, the knowledge of the protective mechanisms avoiding or (when challenged) promoting its modification/damage might provide insight into the genesis, and, most importantly, prevention of potential health effects that might occur in subjects exposed to AuNPs, through targeted surveillance programs, at least under specific influencing factors.

The value relevance of IFRS adoption: cross-country comparisons based on harmonization histories, intellectual capital disclosures and the global financial crisis
Creators: name: Vafaei, Alireza
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: This study provides comparative findings on the impact of adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) on the value relevance of reported accounting and non-accounting information in a set of six countries with a British accounting heritage but divergent harmonization paths leading up to IFRS adoption. The countries included in the sample are the United Kingdom, Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia and South Africa. The aim of this study is to advance the accounting value relevance literature through a more comprehensive analysis – including multiple models of the value relevance of primary accounting numbers, the addition in these models of textual disclosures about intellectual capital, longer pre- and post-IFRS adoption periods, and a larger cross-section of countries – than prior studies. This study is motivated in terms of making a contribution to the financial reporting research literature on value relevance and intellectual capital disclosure, as well as providing findings that can be informative to accounting standards setters. The sample for this study consists of 2275 firm-year observations for 325 listed companies, from the six chosen countries, for the period between 2002 and 2008.

The results of this study have provided an increased understanding of the level and direction of changes in value relevance of accounting numbers under the IFRS regime compared to alternative countries’ local GAAPs which had varied in degree of harmonization with IFRSs. It then provides insight about the issue of whether off-balance sheet company value contained in intellectual capital, particularly in new economy industries, is weakening the value relevance of accounting numbers. Findings of this study should be of much interest to corporate management, accounting standard setters, investors and others interested in capital market based accounting research. This greater understanding could be translated into improved decision making for these three main financial statement groups.

description: Despite the rapid development of two-dimensional covalent organic frameworks (2D COFs) in recent years, it remains a great challenge to synthesize highly crystalline COF materials. Here, a CNC-assisted approach was adopted to synthesize high crystallinity COF materials. A series of 2D COF films were synthesized at the air–water interface by using cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) as the template. The occurrence of Schiff reactions based on the imine bond was demonstrated by Raman spectroscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) exhibited the appearances of 2D COF films were flower-like. When CNCs were added to a certain extent, the size of a single petal in the flowers gradually increased with the amount of CNCs. The film with large petals was characterized by Ultraviolet–Visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV–Vis DRS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and selected area electron diffraction (SAED). In UV–Vis DRS curves, the S-band of COF-366 film was red-shifted by 24 nm compared with that of 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-aminophenyl)-21H,23H-porphyrin (TAPP), confirming the existence of extended conjugation in COF-366 film. XPS was used to identify the surface composition of the sample. The N1s signal of the film indicated that each TAPP formed four imine bonds with 2,5-dihydroxyterephthalaldehyde (DHTA) in COF-366 film. TEM images showed that CNCs had an influence on the crystal size. It was observed from SAED that the crystallinity of the film with CNCs was higher than the film without CNCs. This work provided a new template for improving the crystallinity of 2D COF films.

title: Account Planning in der Werbeagentur
Creators: name: Fux, Julia Mercedes
Year: 2009

description: Im Mittelpunkt dieser Diplomarbeit steht die Thematik des Account Planners, seine Entstehungsgeschichte mit seinem Ursprung in England und seine fachliche und berufliche Entwicklung innerhalb der internen Organisation der Werbeagentur. Seine Position in der Agentur als „Brücke zum Konsumenten“ steht dabei ebenso im Fokus des Interesses, wie seine Persönlichkeit als Schnittstelle zwischen den Kreativen in der Agentur sowie den Konsumenten und den Kunden außerhalb der Agentur. Weiters wird aus kommunikationswissenschaftlicher Sicht seine Position hinsichtlich einer Kommunikatorforschung beleuchtet. Dies geschieht deshalb aus der Perspektive der Kommunikationswissenschaft, weil diese durch ihre Relevanz des Fachs und ihre Fähigkeit, auch hinter Kommunikationsprozesse zu blicken, eine implizite (bezogen auf Kommunikationswissenschaft) und explizite (Fähigkeiten des Planners) Untersuchung erlaubt. Weiters greife ich das Thema der Werbeforschung auf, um über Verbesserungsmöglichkeiten der Werbekonzeption zu diskutieren. Als Ursprungsidee hinter Account Planning steht das Ziel, Effizienz und Effektivität im Werbeprozess zu steigern. Bezugnehmend auf solche Überlegungen des Phänomens des Account Planners sowie seine Entstehungsgeschichte, seine Aufgaben und sein Nutzen in der Werbeagentur, wird im empirischen Teil mittels Inhaltsanalyse von Werbungs-Stellenanzeigen, im Sinne der berufssoziologischen Forschung, im Internet bzw. in Fachzeitungen (w&v, Horizont, AGPGD) untersucht, wie ein Account Planner in diesen Stellenanzeigen definiert wird: einerseits durch persönliche Fähigkeiten, Sach- und Fachqualifikationen und andererseits hinsichtlich seiner Berufsbezeichnung, die doch weitgehend unterschiedlich ausfallen kann. So steht unter anderem die Frage im Mittelpunkt, ob den Fähigkeiten eines Kommunikationswissenschaftler, die er im Laufe seiner akademischen Ausbildung erwirbt, jene der Berufsposition eines Account Planners entsprechen.

Network governance and public policy: language planning and language policy in Australia and Greece within a globalising context (1970-2005)
Creators: name: Tripolitakis, Konstantinos
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: This thesis is a study of language planning and language policy in Australia and Greece between 1970 and 2005, in the light of network governability and public policy within a globalised context. How different countries and their governments respond to language education challenges and how they initiate and sustain language planning and policy changes are essential for the population of the country. It is an ongoing challenge. The critical issue that this study examines is how countries, in particular Australia and Greece, organise their public policy arrangements in comparison to one another to give effect to economic and social rationales within a competitive global environment. Accordingly, this study orients its direction towards the recent past and the contemporary period focusing on language education within national, regional and global socio-political and economic contexts, thus encouraging an examination of the influences on decision-making. The key to addressing this critical issue depends on how well Australia and Greece have, each in their specific context, designed planning for language education and implemented and evaluated programs based on the aims and objectives of planning and policy. Furthermore the performance of the respective countries depends on what they can learn from the other’s performance in the area of language planning and policy implementation to maintain a global competitive advantage.
