Male caregiving of a spouse with Alzheimer’s Disease: a narrative of care
Creators: name: Wondrock, Wendy
name: Taylor, Sandra
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: The objectives of this paper are to document the case study of a male caregiver’s experiences while caring for his female spouse with Alzheimer's Disease (AD) and to examine this narrative against key themes within contemporary Australian literature. It employs a qualitative single case study approach, with one male caregiver providing two in-depth interviews regarding his experiences. Key themes are identified and compared with current literature. The themes within the narrative related to: early signs and diagnosis of AD; carer and spouse relationship; becoming a carer; engaging with health care professionals; seeking and receiving support; caregiver health; financial considerations; social attitudes towards AD and perceptions about the future. The paper concludes that documenting the unique and contextualized narrative of male caregivers regarding spouses affected by AD gives voice to their experiences. Such narratives can affirm other caregivers and also raise awareness of practitioners, service providers and the general community about the experiences of care giving.
Judging a book by its cover: some reflexions on the portrayal of betrayal
Creators: name: Crinall, Karen
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This paper reflects on the process of viewing and constructing meaning about a book cover illustration which appears on a collection of Stolen Generation stories edited by Carmel Bird. The grainy black and white photograph, portraying six young girls of part Aboriginal descent, originally appeared under the heading "Homes are sought for these children" in a Darwin newspaper during the 1930s. It is an iconic representation of the betrayal of innocence, signifying the human suffering caused by the inherent racism of the then Australian government’s Aboriginal assimilation policies. It is also an ironic image, communicating the incongruence between the meaning of social justice at the beginning of the twentieth century and at its end. Guided by Michel Foucault’s oft-repeated caution that, "not everything is bad, but everything is dangerous" (Foucault 1991: 343), my intention is to share a subjective reflexion, and thereby raise some issues about the way we interact with, and invest truth in visual objects, such as photographs and the discourses which embed them in historical, social, political and cultural contexts.

Planning for family dispute resolution in Cambodia - A quest for contextual relevance
Creators: name: Higgins, Barry
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: In this paper I outline a planning and evaluation proposal designed to sustain contextually relevant alternative dispute resolution practices for resolving family conflicts in three Cambodian districts. It is a mock proposal I designed for 'Peace Bridges', a Cambodian peace building organisation that trains and mobilises family dispute resolution practitioners across Cambodia. It is a means to support Peace Bridges in reflecting upon their planning approach for facilitating the development of a new program cycle for 2013-2015. The proposal begins with a problem description that accounts for the interplay of personal, relational, cultural and systemic factors contributing to the current prevalence of dysfunctional family dispute management in Cambodia. Following this is a needs analysis of stakeholders relevant to the target districts. This analysis is multi-focused, including indirect actors at the national and international level as well as more direct stakeholders at the project partner and community level. The planning proposal is also concerned to identify theories of change or hypotheses operant in the design. This includes awareness of values that inform such theories. There is concern to ensure program implementers operate with mindfulness of these theories and values so as to enable continuous reflection, not simply on practice, but on the assumptions underlying practice. The paper concludes with some reflections on the benefits and challenges of such an approach to planning.
Public services as indispensable stepping stones to migrant women's self determination
Creators: name: Bursian, Olga
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This paper argues that publicly funded infrastructure, or the welfare state, were indispensable in enabling a group of migrant women to exercise energetic self determination during resettlement in Melbourne between the mid 1970s to late 1990s. Even though the group of participants in my doctoral study were extraordinarily resilient, and mostly educated women, they needed the service system developed within the bi-partisan supported policy of multiculturalism which granted access to newcomers on the basis of citizenship rights. The paper unpacks the sufferings of migrants who come from communally based societies, lose their former worlds and meaningful place in society and encounter negative representations fuelled by ignorance in the Australian context. I then present the women’s detailed evidence about how the network of publicly funded services, as they existed up to the end of the 1990s in Victoria, enabled them to not only recapture their former energies, but also had life affirming reverberations for their families and the community. In contradiction to recent divisive, neo-liberal public discourses (Edgar 2001; Mendes 2003), the welfare state and the policies of multiculturalism and related programs enabled engaged citizenship and the building of vibrant and diverse civil society. Rather than being a drain on the public purse, modest government investments into programs enabled the nation to benefit from the women’s enormous industriousness. After some brief contextual information, I will present vignettes from their narratives about connecting with a variety of services. The tragically amusing dialogue with an isolated woman’s experience of poor medical practice will provide a counter balance to the discussion.

Raising an umbrella organization?: Countering government and industry neglect of professionals
Creators: name: Murray, Ian
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: As professional bodies representing workers and educators in the field of social and community services, we need to stand united against a tendency to ignore or dismiss us by some representatives of government and industry. The Productivity Commission report on the research into Australia's Health Workforce emphasised the increasing blurring of roles, but ignored the great overlap between health and community services work in its proposal for over-arching health accreditation and regulation boards. In this paper Negative Licensing is suggested as an alternative to additional regulation of professions. A broad concept of ‘professional’ is used as a basis for a proposed umbrella network involving the whole community services sector. This could counter neglect by government bodies and provide a focus for resources, identity and organisation within the sector.

Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: The Northern Territory provides a diverse, vibrant and challenging human service practice environment. However the isolation of remote practice, entrenched social injustices, inadequate supervision and difficulty applying mainstream social work knowledge to an NT practice context are all factors which can negatively impact what should be a rewarding and fulfilling experience. This article discusses challenges to optimising the practice learning opportunities available in the NT. In addressing this topic we will reflect on taking a 'learning community' approach to human service education. This approach highlights the need to build relationships, identify and build on strengths, and work with communities to develop programs that are pedagogically sound and sustainable in the longer term within the NT. We provide examples of theoretical frameworks and processes that guide this approach in the hope of creating foundations for quality human service learning in the NT.

Keeping it simple : manageable program planning and evaluation in human service organisations

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

description: The following review of program planning and evaluative models seeks to determine relevance within 21st century Victorian welfare in the context of increasing regulation of service quality and standards of practice. This paper examines three distinct models from the literature: incrementalism, the ethical model, and the effectiveness model as they demonstrate a shift from a simplistic means-focussed approach, to values-based, measurable and outcomes-focussed planning and evaluation methods. These models are critiqued, recognising that complex frameworks can be resource-intensive and ambiguous in their practical application. Thus, common elements are identified to inform a more generic program planning framework. This article asserts that discrete program planning models cannot be universally applied, and that specific models or hybrids should be considered by planners and evaluators within the organisational and broader environmental contexts. The key is to ensure the resultant framework – whether generic or tailored, is meaningful, manageable and of value.

description: This article looks at the experience of rural community engagement and planning in the light of some current academic observation. The work explores the challengesconfronting local government in working with rural communities as partners in addressing local priorities at a time of significant challenges for rural Victoria. Made up of ten communities located across 8500 square kilometres, the Buloke Shire crosses the boundaries of the Wimmera and Mallee regions of Victoria. Buloke Shire Council used the Community Building Initiative (CBI), a Victorian Government program funded by the Department of Planning and Community Development (DPCD), to provide a platform for community engagement, planning and development. This paper reflects on why this participatory approach is so important in rural Victorian shires. What are some of the challenges in moving to a participatory approach? The paper discusses the reality that participatory planning, in Buloke as in most settings, is very much a 'work in progress.'
Towards Better Test Coverage: Merging Unit Tests for Autonomous Systems

description: We present a framework for merging unit tests for autonomous systems. Typically, it is intractable to test an autonomous system for every scenario in its operating environment. The question of whether it is possible to design a single test for multiple requirements of the system motivates this work. First, we formally define three attributes of a test: a test specification that characterizes behaviors observed in a test execution, a test environment, and a test policy. Using the merge operator from contract-based design theory, we provide a formalism to construct a merged test specification from two unit test specifications. Temporal constraints on the merged test specification guarantee that non-trivial satisfaction of both unit test specifications is necessary for a successful merged test execution. We assume that the test environment remains the same across the unit tests and the merged test. Given a test specification and a test environment, we synthesize a test policy filter using a receding horizon approach, and use the test policy filter to guide a search procedure (e.g. Monte-Carlo Tree Search) to find a test policy that is guaranteed to satisfy the test specification. This search procedure finds a test policy that maximizes a pre-defined robustness metric for the test while the filter guarantees a test policy for satisfying the test specification. We prove that our algorithm is sound. Furthermore, the receding horizon approach to synthesizing the filter ensures that our algorithm is scalable. Finally, we show that merging unit tests is impactful for designing efficient test campaigns to achieve similar levels of coverage in fewer test executions. We illustrate our framework on two self-driving examples in a discrete-state setting.

Emphasising 'the relationship self' as a goal in casework
Creators: name: Furlong, Mark
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Traditional and radical authors agree that strengthening the autonomy of service users is a primary aim in casework. The current paper seeks to balance this emphasis on individual autonomy by arguing that the relational aspects of the self also require attention. This argument proceeds in three steps. Firstly, recent theoretical work will be introduced to advance the premise that the self can be understood as ‘relational’ as well as ‘autonomous’. Secondly, a summary is offered of the research which concludes that a strong social network, or in the more recently favoured terms, that ‘social connectedness’ and ‘attachment’, is protective of health and well-being. Building on these two ideas, it is then suggested that it may be important for caseworkers to promote the quality of interdependence and connectedness of those service users with whom we work, irrespective of the presenting problem and the practitioner’s preferred method and assigned practice role.
Retirement Pensions and Disability Insurance for the 21st Century

Subjects: subject: disability risk, disability insurance, retirement age
subject: Population and Demography
subject: Social Sciences

description: This project estimates the degree of disability risk among the United States and English over-50 populations. Using a disability measure that closely matches the criteria used by English and U.S. disability systems, we find both higher levels of disability in the U.S. and higher levels of disability risk in the U.S. Furthermore, we estimate spillovers between disability insurance and retirement pension program in the context of the increase in the United Kingdom retirement age for women in the years 2010 to 2019. We document that, despite a significant increase in disability benefit take-up among disabled individuals who would have been otherwise retired, these individuals experienced large losses in household income. Healthy individuals, in contrast, experienced much smaller losses in income, as they responded to the increase in the retirement age by increasing their labor-force participation. Finally, we develop a dynamic model of labor supply, social security benefits, and savings to evaluate the U.K. disability benefit system in the context of the U.K. retirement reform. This model uses as its inputs the parameters of the disability process we have estimated, and is estimated to match the responses to the reform. It can then be used to evaluate other joint reforms of disability and retirement program.

description: We examine effects of protein and energy intakes on height and weight growth for children between 6 and 24 months old in Guatemala and the Philippines. Using instrumental variables to control for endogeneity and estimating multiple specifications, we find that protein intake plays an important and positive role in height and weight growth in the 6-24 month period. Energy from other macronutrients, however, does not have a robust relation with these two anthropometric measures. Our estimates indicate that in contexts with substantial child undernutrition, increases in protein-rich food intake in the first 24 months can have important growth effects, which previous studies indicate are related significantly to a range of outcomes over the life cycle.

This volume presents a citizen science project conducted as part of a Geology of National Parks course taught in the Dept. of Geological Sciences at the University of Texas at Austin. The goal is to use publicly-available, easily understandable, scientific environmental data to document and call attention to significant environmental issues facing a U.S. national park. Students questioned assertions in Daly (2019) Significant Air Pollution Plagues Almost All U.S. National Parks, Smithsonian Magazine that researchers found 85% of U.S. national parks have air that is unhealthy to breathe. The article also reported 89% of parks suffer from haze, and 96% have ozone and other pollutants that cause health concerns for visitors. These assertions can be tested by publicly available, real-time air quality data. This volume presents air quality measurements from Yosemite, Yellowstone, the Guadalupe Mountains, and Grand Canyon national parks throughout September 2020. The data is used to evaluate the article's assertions

description: The rise of mobile AI accelerators allows latency-sensitive applications to execute lightweight Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) on the client side. However, critical applications require powerful models that edge devices cannot host and must therefore offload requests, where the high-dimensional data will compete for limited bandwidth. This work proposes shifting away from focusing on executing shallow layers of partitioned DNNs. Instead, it advocates concentrating the local resources on variational compression optimized for machine interpretability. We introduce a novel framework for resource-conscious compression models and extensively evaluate our method in an environment reflecting the asymmetric resource distribution between edge devices and servers. Our method achieves 60% lower bitrate than a state-of-the-art SC method without decreasing accuracy and is up to 16x faster than offloading with existing codec standards.

Reflections on practice: collaborative writing as a critically reflective activity

Year: 2017

description: This article chronicles the collaborative partnership that was established to submit a book proposal to an Australian publisher, and reflects on the process of writing an introductory text aimed at building a literature bridge between social work and human service practice. The book, entitled ‘The Road to Social Work and Human Service Practice: An Introductory Text’ (Chenoweth and McAuliffe 2005) was published by Thomson Learning. The authors are social work practitioners turned academics, who worked together in an Australian school of social work. The idea for this book was borne from the author’s shared experiences of social work practice and education, and awareness of the increasingly contested space that professional degrees occupy in the field of human services. At a time when common ground is being sought between those working in designated social work positions requiring eligibility for membership of the professional association, and those with a range of other degrees in human services, community practice, counselling and social policy, the development of common purpose, values, frameworks and theory is critical. The writing of texts for social work and human service practice in this contemporary environment is challenging, and this article gives examples of some of those challenges within a context of reflection on social work education and practice. This paper argues that collaborative writing can be a powerful strategy for critical reflection on practice.

Is social inclusion just a new buzzword? A half time report card on the social welfare policies of the Rudd Government
Creators: name: Mendes, Philip
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: The ALP Government claims to be pursuing a social inclusion agenda aimed at promoting the participation of particularly disadvantaged groups. This holistic agenda recognizes that disadvantage is caused by a complex interaction of structural, local community and individual factors, and differs significantly from the former Coalition government's primary emphasis on individual responsibility. The government seems to have a genuine commitment to addressing social disadvantage and has significantly increased the level of social investment in a number of key areas. However, its application of social inclusion principles still appears to be inconsistent and unduly limited by political and budgetary considerations.
Social work and welfare education without discrimination. Are we there yet?

description: The Australian Human Rights Commission (AHRC) has identified education as one of five crucial issues relating to the settlement of African Australians into the Australian community from a human rights perspective (AHRC 2009:5). In this paper I advocate that social work and welfare work in Australia are placed in important and multi-dimensioned positions in relation to our complicities, responsibilities and potentialities with this educational human rights issue. As a Technical and Further Education (TAFE) welfare and University social work educator, I offer an outline of the 'mutual respect inquiry approach' that developed between myself and Southern Sudanese Australian students as a basis for discussion, reflection and change. I seek to stimulate thinking and action, particularly among those welfare work and social work educators, practitioners and students who identify as critical and anti-oppressive, to consider how these approaches can be realised and reshaped in practice to enhance not only Southern Sudanese Australians' right to education that is 'without discrimination', but indeed all students in our diversity.
Different Worldviews: Aboriginal and Western cultural effects on delivery of VET courses

description: In the remote parts of northwest Australia, VET teachers deliver courses to culturally strong Aboriginal communities. The guiding principles of this culture can be respected yet can bewilder teachers’ most enthusiastic intentions to impart the knowledge and skills that community people need to support their aspirations for employment and self-management. Why is this so, when cross-cultural knowledge, government funding to overcome Aboriginal disadvantage, and good will, is greater today than ever before? Research conducted in the 1970s by anthropologist and community development worker Margaret Bain introduces some concepts that mirror research into cultural types in the international arena of business by culturalist Fons Trompenaars (1993). Bain discovered a key difference between Aboriginal and Western conceptual systems and worldviews that affects the communication processes between them.

The Ermha transitional dependence model of support: Increasing independence for people with a dual disability and high and complex support needs
Creators: name: Crinall, Samuel
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This article explores the Transitional Dependence Model (the Model) developed by Ermha to provide a diversely experienced and qualified workforce with a clearly defined and effective model of practice to assist them in the provision of support for people with a dual disability (an intellectual disability and co-occurring mental illness) who have high and complex support needs and are displaying behaviours of concern. The Model offers a simple and practical framework for engaging clients diagnosed with a dual disability in their journey to increased independence. The Model examines the practice implications of the understanding that for people with intellectual disability, behaviour can be used as a dominant form of communication, including in the communication of the symptoms of any mental illness that is present. The Model sees the relationship between the client and worker, or team, as central to the change process and explores the importance of consistency in supporting positive behaviour and an optimal personal identity.
Encouraging critical reflections on privilege in social work and the human services
Creators: name: Pease, Bob
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Critical reflection is promoted by many progressive social work writers as a process for facilitating practitioners’ capacity to reflect upon their complicity in dominant power relations. However, the critical social work literature tends to focus attention on those who are disadvantaged, oppressed and excluded. Those who are privileged in relation to gender, class, race and sexuality etc are often ignored. Given that the flipside of oppression and social exclusion is privilege, the lack of critical reflection on the privileged side of social divisions allows members of dominant groups to reinforce their dominance. This article interrogates the concept of privilege and examines how it is internalised in the psyches of members of dominant groups. After exploring the potential to undo privilege from within, the article encourages social work educators to engage in critical reflections about privilege when teaching social work students about social injustice and oppression.

description: Changes in the flux of terrestrial sediment into the ocean can cause marine ecosystems to suffer severe environmental stress. The physical effects of increased terrestrial erosion towards the shallow ocean can decrease light quality, increases the energy that reef builders must expend, and in extreme cases can cause burial of near-shore reefs. The influx of new terrestrial sediment can also have a notable effect on the chemistry of the ocean by increasing the flux of nutrients. This can alter the trophic state of the area, favor the expansion of algae over metazoan reef builders such as corals, and potentially cause a decrease in free oxygen available in the water column. The effects of increased terrestrial sediment flux can be seen most clearly during time intervals during which a spike in atmospheric CO2 concentration causes the global silicate weathering rate to increase. These events are commonly associated with global marine extinctions, as is the case at the Permian/Triassic boundary and during the Toarcian Ocean Anoxic Event. Isotope and trace element geochemistry can be used to reconstruct changes in the global silicate weathering rate, marine nutrient content, and fraction of terrestrial sediment in a marine setting. By combining these geochemical data with modern studies of reefs under sediment stress, the mechanisms driving reef collapses in the geologic record are better understood. This information can be applied to research attempting to predict the impact of increased sediment flux associated with climate change.

description: To excavate construction experience of an ancient city as the main theme, on the basis of combing the planning essential, this study reveals the planning experience and its humanistic connotation of the ancient Fuzhou city in the aspects of choosing site, establishing axis, function and artistic conception through its space evolution, in order to provide a new path for the contemporary urban planning. The results show that, the ancient Fuzhou city has realized the double governance of space and society, and contributed to the city pattern of ‘mountain-water-city’ integration and the spatial place cohering spirits through a large-scale spatial axis, function pattern of ‘three circle layers’, landscape construction showing mountain and water,= and spatial system full of humanistic connotation. Contemporary planners should absorb the significance from the traditional planning, thereby fostering the connection between ancient and modern urban planning and realizing the inheritance and promotion of traditional wisdom.

description: An anomalous structural region exists on the southwest flank of the San Julian Uplift, part of the Sierra Madre Oriental fold-thrust belt in northernmost Zacatecas, Mexico. This domain is a triply transverse feature to the Sierra Madre Oriental structural trend, and its structural evolution was previously unknown. Three separate domains, the Aneho, Puerto Los Mimbres, and Caopas domains were defined based on unique structural features and mapped geologically with intent to understand the complex structural relationships present in the transverse zone (the Caopas domain). The Puerto Los Mimbres domain (SE of the Caopas domain) is dominated by a NE dip direction of carbonate rock bedding planes and Laramide-age contractional anticlines and synclines. The Aneho domain (NW of the Caopas domain) displays a gentle SW stratal dip. The Caopas domain consists of sub-domains that have different carbonate strata dip directions as well as complex structural relationships, including four inferred normal faults. Several structural models were tested with intent to understand the structural evolution of the San Julian Uplift. A model that places a thrust fault to the NE of the uplift and an extensional normal fault in the San Julian Uplift valley seems to best explain the structural evolution of the region. Another model involving a core complex can not be ruled out with existing data.

description: A common approach to evaluating robustness to omitted variable bias is to observe coefficient movements after inclusion of controls. This is informative only if selection on observables is informative about selection on unobservables. Although this link is known in theory in existing literature, very few empirical articles approach this formally. I develop an extension of the theory that connects bias explicitly to coefficient stability. I show that it is necessary to take into account coefficient and R-squared movements. I develop a formal bounding argument. I show two validation exercises and discuss application to the economics literature. Supplementary materials for this article are available online.

description: As part of the Geology of National Parks course at the University of Texas at Austin, students used data available as citizen scientists to test the hypothesis put forth by the US Geological Survey (USGS) that the Kīlauea in Hawaii was the #1 most hazardous volcano in the US. Background: The US Geological Survey indicates that all volcanoes, when erupting, pose a risk to people and infrastructure but stresses that the risks are not the same from one volcano to the next. In an extensive study of several volcanoes, the USGS compiled a list of hazards associated with US volcanoes, including some of those in our national parks. Based on a compilation of facts, the Kīlauea volcano in Hawaii emerged as the greatest threat. This course project aimed to challenge (or support) the hypothesis by allowing students to select a volcano they thought could pose more of a threat compared to Kīlauea. For this project, the students had the option to critically challenge the ranking of Kīlauea as the #1 threat and argue for a different volcano to take its place. They could also elaborate on the ranking of Kīlauea as the #1 threat but provide additional information to push the argument further or provide additional data that contributes more information that the USGS might not have considered. The students were able to include their own experience in the issues discussed in the USGS paper and comment on the applicability of the issues raised in the USGS to other settings or other cultures.
