Political Violence and the Future of Democracy in Sri Lanka
Creators: name: Obeyesekere, Gananath
Publisher: name: Internationales Asienforum
Year: 2017

description: The paper deals with the language riots that occurred in summer 1984 between the Tamils and Sinhalese of Sri Lanka. It adopts the position that powerful elements within the govemment, especially the govemment trade union, were involved in these riots. The riots were moreover reflective of the political institutionalization of violence in Sri Lanka and herald the demise of democracy. The Sinhala-Tamil antagonisms and their historical background as well as their significance for the future are discussed in detail.

Human Rights in East Asia: An Evaluation
Creators: name: Wessels, David J.
Publisher: name: Internationales Asienforum
Year: 2017

description: The human rights recognized by the intemational community are itemized and summarized under ten values: integrity, well-being, education, sociality, legality, participation, esteem, affection, freedom, and community. These values and rights delineate the intemational political norms which are generally accepted in East Asia (the People's Republic of China, Japan, and the Republic of Korea), as elsewhere. However, there are certain elements of the history and culture of the region which distinguish its practice of human rights from that of the West; and particular elements of politics and society in each of the three countries have additional impact on their performance on human rights standards. Based on the ten values identified earlier, the paper concludes with an overall evaluation of the three countries of East Asia on their current practice of human rights and on the trends in that practice during the contemporary period.

description: The offshore aquaculture industry in Canada is bound to rely on non-renewable energy sources i.e. Diesel Generators (DGs) to meet its intensive energy needs due to absence of utility’s electrical infrastructure. The said energy source is expensive, detrimental for the marine ecosystem, difficult to manage its transport and storage at site. This thesis presents a comprehensive solution to replace the high-cost energy source with a cost-effective and environmentally friendly energy source for an offshore aquaculture site located near Red Island, Newfoundland, Canada. The first step involves inputting the actual energy requirements of the site into Homer Pro software to design a hybrid power system, primarily featuring a floating solar power system (FSPV) to replace DGs. The techno-commercial viability of the designed system is assessed in three scenarios (Base, Ideal, and Worst), all of which show convincing and encouraging levels of renewable energy penetration. By comparing the cost of electrcity calculated by the software with the existing setup's energy cost, it is evident that the FSPV system is economically advantageous in all computed scenerios, base case of the designed FSPV system is 42% cost-effective. To validate the design, the system is modeled in MATLAB, and its dynamic performance is analyzed under varying conditions such as irradiance, temperature, and load side variations. The simulation results demonstrate the system's satisfactory and reliable response in all scenarios. For remote monitoring, a low-cost and open-source LoRA-based SCADA system is implemented. Additionally, an interactive Graphical User Interface (GUI) is developed to visualize historical and real-time data, showcasing the system's performance. The assembled hardware and results affirm that the proposed design is capable of providing a remote monitoring solution for offshore aquaculture sites. The findings underscore the potential of FSPV systems as a viable and sustainable solution for powering fish farms, thereby contributing to the overall sustainability of the aquaculture industry.
Human Rights in Asia: Conditions, Perspectives and Remedies
Creators: name: Yamane, Hiroko
Publisher: name: Internationales Asienforum
Year: 2017

description: Although Asia is a vast conglomerate of diverse countries, there are certain similarities among the conditions leading to a lack of respect for human rights in this huge region. These conditions are: a) the predicament of minorities and the resulting problems within an extremely rigid and complex social stratification; b) priority given by govemments to intemal security, i.e. security measures against "internal aggression"; c) reference by governments to poverty and cultural differences whenever trying to justify their lack of respect for the basic principles of human rights. These conditions also provoke massive movements of people who are often called "refugees". After examining these conditions, the article suggests new fields of research in this area.

Smart Grid Security: Detecting Energy Meter Bypass with Wireless Technology
Creators: name: Himanshu Ramanlal Patel
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: Electricity theft is a persistent issue that leads to substantial financial losses for utility providers,especially in developing countries like India. It is estimated that nearly 32% of the electricity consumedgoes unpaid due to unauthorized usage, with one of the most common methods being the bypassing ofenergy meters. This not only violates the contractual agreement between the consumer and the supplier butalso puts additional strain on energy resources and affects overall power distribution efficiency. To addressthis problem, a wireless electricity theft detection system is proposed, designed to identify unauthorizedconsumption and support real-time reporting. The system architecture includes a microcontroller, acalibrated digital energy meter, and a ZIGBEE wireless communication module. It continuously monitorsactual energy consumption and compares it with expected usage data. Any deviation indicating potentialtampering or bypassing triggers an automatic alert, which is wirelessly transmitted to the concernedelectricity board or utility provider. ZIGBEE technology is utilized due to its advantages in low powerconsumption, cost efficiency, and secure short-range communication. Beyond electricity monitoring, thesystem is versatile and can be adapted to detect theft in other utilities such as gas, oil, or fuel by integratingappropriate metering devices. This makes the solution scalable and beneficial across various sectors. Bydeploying such smart systems, utility agencies can reduce losses, ensure accurate billing, and promoteresponsible energy usage. The implementation of this technology represents a step forward in achievingtransparency, operational efficiency, and sustainable resource management.

Economic sociology and Australian biotechnology
Creators: name: Gilding, Michael
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This paper draws upon interviews with the CEOs of 14 Australian biotechnology companies to explore the relevance of the new economic sociology in understanding economic behaviour. In the course of interviews, CEOs regularly described ‘cheap scientists’ as a comparative advantage of the Australian industry, consistent with neoliberal economic theory. At the same time, interviews also drew attention to a variety of social and political factors that shaped the local industry, consistent with the new economic sociology. These included first, the pivotal role of public research organisations in generating the intellectual property of the local industry; second, the distinctive career pathways of entrepreneurs; third, the influence of local public research organisations and venture capitalists in creating local clusters; fourth, the network structure of biotechnology companies, both at local and international levels; fifth, the search for stability and survival in the context of industry instability; and sixth, the demand to generate convincing ‘stories’ or models of how their companies would prevail, notwithstanding instability. The paper concludes that the new economic sociology provides compelling tools for understanding the biotechnology industry in Australia.
Reconstruction and resistance: masculinity, gender and relationships among men in the environmental movement
Creators: name: Leyden, Stephen L.
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Social researchers have long been divided in their interpretations of gender relations in the context of the family. From the 1940s onwards, researchers began to observe patterns of change in gender relations that they claimed amounted to a reordering of such relations. According to these researchers, family life was increasingly characterised by gender equality and companionship. From the 1970s, many researchers - often influenced by feminism - critiqued this interpretation and suggested that there was much greater continuity than change in family life. This study locates itself in this debate. The study draws upon R. W. Connell's analysis of gender as a social practice. Connell observed on the basis of his research that men active in the environmental movement were practising their masculinity in a different way to other groups of men. The men active in the environmental movement were attempting to construct progressive rather than hegemonic gender projects. This study investigates Connell's observations about gender reform among this group. It does so by examining the gender practices of these men in the context of their personal relationships. The study is based upon 24 qualitative interviews with men active in the environmental and another 24 interviews with their female partners. The study supports Connell's claim about gender reform among the men active in the environmental movement, but also highlights the continuing influence of established gender roles and hegemonic masculinity. All of the men in this study described progressive views about gender relations, but there was much diversity in the men's gender practices. The men fell into one of two groups. The first group of 10 men had apparently achieved substantial reform in their relationships. The relationships were relatively egalitarian according to both the men and the partners. In turn, the relationships were relatively harmonious. The other 14 men were struggling with gender reform. According to both the men and their partners, the relationships were characterised by enduring hegemonic practices. In turn, they were beset by ongoing tension and conflict.

Cultural Orientations in Television: The Singapore Experience
Creators: name: Heidt, Erhard U.
Publisher: name: Internationales Asienforum
Year: 2017

description: The starting point of the study is the observation that, as in most other countries, so in Singapore, there exist a number of assumptions in the minds of politicians, broadcasters and the general public about what television does or can do to society. On the one hand, there is the strong suspicion that television is corroding the good traditional value systems, a suspicion which is less than counterbalanced by the hope, on the other hand, that television may be used to spread useful information and to support desirable developments. Television in Singapore, in particular, is supposed and intended to play a specific role in the multi-ethnic, multi-cultural, and multi-lingual context of a newly formed nation. It is the object of the study to identify the social value structures underlying the different television programmes and to find out how they relate to the different cultural traditions of Singapore's population and to the concept of a modern Singaporean identity. A thorough analysis was made of all programmes telecast by the Singapore Broadcasting Corporation, and this article reports on f'indings from the analysis of news and drama programmes.

Die "Blaue Revolution": Eine erneute Entwicklungstragödie? Indonesiens Seefischerei heute
Creators: name: Betke, Friedhelm
Publisher: name: Internationales Asienforum
Year: 2017

description: Although tremendous improvements in agricultural production have been achieved on Java during the last decade, it was criticized that those measures, which are commonly referred to as "Green Revolution", generally lead to an increasing concentration of land ownership, thus contributing to the growing pressure on the limited resource of land. Hence, it is small wonder that de- velopment planners became increasingly interested in the seemingly unlimited Indonesian marine resources. Despite its present, relatively small contribu- tion sea fish, particularly in its traditionally processed and marketed form, is the only source of animal protein the poor majority of the Indonesian population can afford, and in principle its supply-potential can still be increased enormously. But, despite the imperative necessity of improving the nutritional situation of the still fast growing population, both government and private investors were attracted by the high profits in foreign currency obtainable through export of certain marine commodities, shrimp and tuna in particular, that are generally becoming more scarce and therefore reaching ridiculously high, and still increasing prices on the world market. Consequently, modern highly efficient fishing technology penetrated the Indonesian fisheries (accompanied by heavy investments in the marketing-infrastructure and modernization of post-harvest technology), causing a dramatic transition from a generally subsistence-oriented, non-industrially organized activity, restricted to the vicinity of coastal villages, to a more and more commercially oriented, in- dustrially organized, and highly mobile form of commodity production. This development has had particularly tragic results on the coastal marine fishing of the densely populated island of Java, namely ruinous exploitation of coastal marine stocks, processes of dualization, growing social differentiation, and partial marginalization of the original producers, i.e. the small-scale fishermen.

Im Osten die Zukunft? Malaysias 'Look East Policy' als Beispiel gesellschaftlicher Modernisierung
Creators: name: Hanselmann, Stefan
Publisher: name: Internationales Asienforum
Year: 2017

description: In 1982 the Malaysian government launched the 'Look East Policy' as a new strategy for social and economic modernization. Just like Singapur, South Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong a few years ago, Malaysia is now trying to emulate the Japanese 'miracle' in order to solve her present problems which are deeply rooted in Malaysian history and society. Considering that these problems are not exclusively economically defined, the ' Look East Policy' is designed as a 'multi-approach-strategy'. It includes a social aspect, aiming at a modernization of the Malay character by promoting Japanese work ethics, loyalty and business behaviour, th°e attempted reduction of privileges of the Malay aristocracy and the limitation of Islamic revivalism. The economic aspect includes the development of manufactured-goods industries, heavy nucleus industries, the emulation of the 'Japanese Incorporated' - model and a closer financial cooperation with the Japanese government as well as Japanese companies.

Aspekte der unternehmerischen Kooperation zwischen Industrie- und Entwicklungsländern in Südöst- und Ostasien
Creators: name: Uhlig, Christian
Publisher: name: Internationales Asienforum
Year: 2017

description: The article reviews the various approaches of international industrial cooperation on the enterprise level, such as license cooperation, sub-contracting, or joint ventures and their application in the Southeast- and Eastasian region. In a detailed empirical study it is shown, that - except for Singapore, Hong Kong and Taiwan - in all other countries of the region special regula- tions exist in one form or another to channel foreign direct investments into joint ventures with local capital. As for the other forms of cooperation it can - on the basis of samples - be stated that their importance is growing too. By this industrial cooperation on the enterprise level the developing countries of the region gain - besides the flow of capital - access to foreign tech- nology, management and marketing know-how as well as control of their markets and resources. Partners from industrial countries may maintain and expand their markets and reach a more intensive integration into the national and regional political and business context. Although the difficulties of entrepreneurial cooperation may not be underestimated, the author argues that this formula of mutual partnership seems nonetheless the appropriate device of future international business contacts.

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: The explosion of genomic data worldwide poses a daunting challenge for scientists seeking meaningful insights, especially in resource-constrained contexts like Ghana. Between 2020 and 2024, sparse optimization techniques such as Lasso Regression, Elastic Net, and Principal Component Analysis became indispensable tools for high-dimensional genomic data analysis in Ghana, addressing limitations of traditional methods. This study aimed to investigate how sparse optimization improves genomic data analysis performance by focusing on classification accuracy, robustness, biological interpretability, and computational efficiency, while considering moderating data characteristics like sample size and noise level. Employing a quantitative secondary data analysis design, the study reviewed 23 Ghanaian genomic studies, using correlation and regression analyses to validate the relationships. Major findings revealed that sparse optimization techniques significantly enhanced genomic analysis, with mean classification accuracy reaching 81.9% and average AUROC at 0.83, while data characteristics negatively impacted performance (correlation coefficient r = -0.445). Regression results showed feature selection algorithms had the strongest positive effect (β = 0.368), with an overall model R² of 0.712. These results demonstrate that integrating sparse optimization leads to substantial improvements in genomic research outputs even in low-resource settings. Consequently, the study recommends the broader institutional adoption of sparse methods, investment in computational infrastructure, and continuous training to fully unlock the benefits of genomic analytics in Ghana and similar contexts.

Standardising AI Model Reporting for Radiotherapy: A Domain-Specific Model Card
Creators: name: Barragán Montero, Ana María
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming ubiquitous in radiation therapy (RT), with both in-house and commercial models reaching clinical practice. However, there is a lack of transparency when transferring these models from development to end-users, due to insufficient documentation of their specifications and performance. This hinders clinicians' trust, model comparability and selection. Tools like model cards [1] and datasheets [2] aim to overcome this, but despite recent efforts to adopt them in RT [3], there is not yet a comprehensive, practical, and domain-specific standard for reporting AI models. We present an RT-specific model card to standardise documentation and increase transparency, operability, and trust in clinically-used AI models.

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: This chapter examines the convergence of gender, resistance, and national identity in the visual andperformative discourses of Princess Diana and Miley Cyrus—two similarly iconic figures who, thoughsituated within remarkably divergent contexts, employed fashion, as well as their public persona, to subvert,disrupt, and reconstitute patriarchal norms and the figure of womanhood. Princess Diana, situated within thesymbolic economy of the British monarchy, subverted traditional expectations through gestures of sartorialtransgression—most famously exemplified by her "revenge dress"—in order to exercise her agency andcritique the institution from within. By doing so, she refigured the figural role of the royal female subject,challenging the global image of British femininity to stand for compassion, strength, and multifacetedtransgression. Miley Cyrus, conversely, working within the hyper-commercialized economy of the Americanentertainment industry, employs spectacle, camp, and transformation as tools to subvert gender roles, as wellas national expectations of womanhood. Her transformation from Disney ingénue to pop provocateur is asubversion of patriotic ideals that value female purity and control in favor of a vision of Americanwomanhood predicated on freedom, self-expression, and resistance. Drawing upon theories of semiotics(Barthes), gender performativity (Butler), and hyperreality (Baudrillard), this chapter contends that both Dianaand Cyrus subvert patriarchal authority as much as they reconstitute cultural ideals of femininity in relation totheir respective national narratives. Through their visual address and public transgression, they becomefigures of feminist patriotism—representatives of how women are able to reclaim space, voice, and dignity atthe center of national consciousness.

description: Blackberries, mobile technology with limited functionality, have been adopted rapidly by users. Few studies about the Blackberry technology explore the apparent addiction that users have for this technology. Our study explores users’ perceptions about the device and how it impacts on their day to day life. The participants of the study consist of users currently using Blackberry devices and users that chose to return their Blackberries after a short use period. The study highlights the apparent contradictions inherent in working in an environment with anytime anywhere connectivity. The study highlights the need for future research in the changes that the use of mobile devices such Blackberries has on the day to day life of users.

description: Heterochromatin is a condensed conformation of eukaryotic DNA, which plays an essential role in genome homeostasis. In depth research across various species showed that RNA interference (RNAi) is one of the pathways that is important for heterochromatin formation. To date RNAi-driven heterochromatin assembly has been extensively studied in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe. At centromeres in S. pombe, RNAi is required for heterochromatin establishment and maintenance. Unlike heterochromatin maintenance, RNAi-driven heterochromatin establishment at the centromeres is not very well understood. The interconnectedness between the RNAi and chromatin modification pathways that are required to establish heterochromatin makes it difficult to elucidate which pathway acts first. Recent studies also showed that heterochromatin establishment requires additional factors dispensable for maintenance. Thus exploring novel factors required for the de novo heterochromatin formation can help us to understand the order and the mechanism of heterochromatin establishment. In this study I developed and tested two assays ⎯ plasmid-based and cross-based assays ⎯ designed to identify novel establishment-specific factors genome-wide. While the plasmid based assay proved unreliable, the cross-based establishment assay was shown to effectively identify establishment-specific factors. It also provided new insights into heterochromatin establishment dynamics.

description: Commentary piece. Child pedestrian safety is especially critical in rapidly motorizing countries. Such countries generally lack the resources to physically separate vulnerable road users from motorized traffic. Pedestrians, cyclists, rickshaw operators, and moped users still represent the majority of road users in such countries. Yet, there are often no sidewalks or bicycle paths, and where such amenities do exist, they tend to be heavily obstructed by trees, trash, drainage ditches, and vendors. Children in developing countries are 6 times more likely to die in a motor vehicle crash than their counterparts in developed nations.

title: Negative publicity in the age of social media: examining the consumer-company relationship after a company faces negative publicity online
Creators: name: Michael, Christos
Publisher: name: University of Reading
Year: 2022

description: The aim of the study is to explore the consumer-company relationship after a company 
experiences negative publicity online in order to provide recommendations to companies as 
to the direction they should take post negative publicity. Therefore, via two guiding theories,
moral emotions (Haidt, 2003) and consumer-company identification (Bhattacharya and Sen, 
2003), this thesis examines consumers’ emotions and cognitions after a negative event 
emerges and after the corporate response. This thesis adopts a qualitative approach and 
particularly a netnographic study is employed. This thesis specifically examines the case of 
Chick-fil-A that caused controversies online due to its beliefs and identity (BBC, 2019). The 
research examines comments that were posted in newspaper articles on Facebook regarding 
the protests that took place in Reading against the company due to the aforementioned 
reasons. A total of 2,973 comments were analysed. The findings of the study conceptualise 
online negative publicity. The findings further reveal that when a negative event emerges,
consumers process the event both emotionally and cognitively. Moreover, consumers’
positive or negative emotions, cognitions and subsequent reactions towards negative publicity 
are a result of consumers wanting to preserve and protect both their social and moral 
identities as they are both salient in such instances. Additionally, this thesis uncovers that a 
consumer-company relationship in cases of negative publicity is very fragile and even those 
who identify with the organisation can disidentify with it when the response strategy is weak. 
This thesis develops two theories for the relationship marketing literature, namely, emotional 
consumer-company identification/disidentification. These theories better help to understand 
the nature of the consumer-company relationship especially in cases of negative publicity. 
Moreover, this thesis presents a robust understanding of the consumer-company relationship 
post negative publicity considering both consumers’ emotions and cognitions. Finally, this 
thesis provides strategies as to how companies can better deal with online negative publicity.

description: Quasi-static experiments have been carried out on unreinforced masonry (URM) wall specimens subject to two-way bending and a range of boundary conditions. The hysteretic behaviour so obtained from the experiments have been used to generate fragility curves which define the probability of the wall sustaining minor to severe damage in an earthquake based on different levels of ground motion intensity and boundary conditions of the wall. The calculation for the fragility curves involves the generation of filtered accelerograms which take into account a range of earthquake scenarios, site conditions and building types. The generated accelerograms have been used for input into non-linear time-history analyses for quantifying the amount of drift sustained by the URM walls in order that the level of damage can be ascertained.

description: Abstract
In multiple sclerosis (MS) the body’s own immune system attacks and destroys the protective myelin sheath surrounding axons leading to impaired saltatory conduction and a range of symptoms such as muscle weakness, fatigue, impaired motor function and paralysis. There is no cure for MS and current treatments target the immune system, however, none initiate myelin repair and enable functional recovery. In MS the failure of oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) to differentiate into mature myelinating oligodendrocytes is reported to be responsible for lack of repair leading to progressive functional decline. Activation of the kappa opioid receptor (KOR) has recently been shown to promote OPC differentiation onto mature oligodendrocytes (OL). In this study utilising primary cultures of mouse OPCs and high-throughput confocal microscopy techniques, we compareed the ability of KOR agonists to promote OPC differentiation into mature oligodendrocytes in vitro. Utilising two preclinical models of demyelination in C57BL/6J mice, we also showed KOR agonists promoted remyelination and functional recovery. In the experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) model, we found that nalfurafine and salvinorin A analogues, β-tetrahydropyran salvinorin B, ethoxymethyl ether salvinorin B, and Mesyl Sal B, effectively decreased disease severity (paralysis) in a KOR-dependent manner and led to a greater percentage recovery compared to the traditional KOR agonist U50,488. In the cuprizone-induced demyelination model, we showed that the KOR agonists nalfurafine and ethoxymethyl ether salvinorin B led to an increase in the number of mature oligodendrocytes, the number of myelinated axons and the myelin thickness in the corpus callosum. This provides evidence that KOR agonists are a promising target for the development of pharmacotherapies targeting repair and remyelination.
PKS 1018-42: a powerful, kinetically dominated quasar

description: We have identified PKS 1018-42 as a radio galaxy with extraordinarily powerful jets, over twice as powerful as any 3CR source of equal or lesser redshift except one (3C 196). It is perhaps the most intrinsically powerful extragalactic radio source in the still poorly explored southern hemisphere. PKS 1018-42 belongs to the class of FR II objects that are kinetically dominated; the jet kinetic luminosity, Q ~ 6.5 × 1046 ergs s -1 (calculated at 151 MHz), is 3.4 times larger than the total thermal luminosity (IR to X-ray) of the accretion flow, Lbol ~ 1.9 × 1046 ergs s-1. It is the fourth most kinetically dominated quasar that we could verify from existing radio data. From a review of the literature, we find that kinetically dominated quasars such as PKS 1018-42 are rare, and we list the five most kinetically dominated sources found from our review. Our results for PKS 1018-42 are based on new observations from the Australia Telescope Compact Array.

description: The eye is responsible for vision but is vulnerable to decline, injury and disease. At the commencement of this project, there were a few natural products recommended by clinicians as beneficial for eye health (AREDS2, 2014; AREDS2, 2022). This project aimed to investigate the potential of biomaterials capable of improving eye health and managing eye diseases, and it was identified based on in vitro, animal studies and clinical trials that lutein was a major biomaterial capable of promoting eye health particularly age related macular degeneration (AMD) (Chapter 1a). The thesis further examined lutein-rich sources, highlighting a novel and exotic Asian plant source called gac fruit (Momordica cochinchinensis) (Chapter 1b). Advancements and limitations in the extraction and formulation methods of lutein were elucidated (Chapter 1b). The optimisation of lutein extraction from gac fruit were investigated and involved three key parameters: KOH concentration, extraction temperature, and extraction time (Chapter 2). Lutein extracts from gac demonstrated effectiveness in protecting retina pigment epithelium (RPE) cells against H2O2-induced stress (Chapter 3). The lutein was developed as natural nanomaterials that could be clinically used as injectables and topical medicines for improved eye health (Chapter 4). Results from this study contributes to knowledge in natural product assessment and alternative ophthalmic treatments, introduces potential shorter route of administration for lutein in the context of retinal diseases, with the prospect of its application as a healthcare product.
