Task-groups as self-categories: A social identity perspective on status generalization
Creators: name: Oldmeadow, Julian
name: Platow, Michael J.
name: Foddy, Margaret
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: In this paper we incorporate the concept of self-categorization into status characteristics theory to offer a group-based approach to status generalization. We suggest that task-groups can be understood as self-categories, and that the cognitive and motivational processes associated with psychological group formation have implications for status characteristics theory. In Study 1 self-categorization with an other in terms of a shared group membership increased collective orientation. In Study 2 intergroup categorization, combined with high identification with the ingroup, undermined collective orientation and increased stay responses towards an outgroup partner. Implications for further exploring the intersection of status-organizing and social identity processes are discussed.

description: We discuss the relation between classes and clusters in datasets with given classes. We examine the distribution of classes within obtained clusters, using different clustering methods which are based on different techniques. We also study the structure of the obtained clusters. One of the main conclusions, obtained in this research is that the notion purity cannot be always used for evaluation of accuracy of clustering techniques.

Subjects: Energy poverty, economic resilience, adaptive spaces, social integration, energy efficiency

description: Rural life could be easier and improved with sustainable and energy efficient housing. In Bangladesh, an oversized group of people lives in rural areas and are below the poverty level. So, it’s a tricky job to fulfill all their household needs like electricity, gas, or other utilities altogether with their limited income. Specially the low-income group of people must struggle the most, in providing all the primary needs to their families. Move over the natural calamities are also part and parcel of their life. Many people are losing their homes for these calamities, and they are displaced from their original homes. Khurushkul is one of the examples. Here coastal people are displaced for a better life and provided housing facilities. A portion of their annual savings is spent for bearing the energy cost which is not provided by the government. To be specific, 58 percent of rural households are energy poor, where 45 percent that are income poor in Bangladesh. Side by side population problems also fuel these sorts of issues. The solution to this issue can be managed through sustainable housing that not only provides shelter but also improves the quality of life in rural areas. And using technological innovation both in materials and systems that advances the level of energy efficiency and resiliency in homes designed and built today. The housing can be formed by context, culture and vernacularity but fully embracing the technology and idea of domesticity and can make an end to the difficult and uncertain life.

Broadband: Towards a universal service
Creators: name: Barr, Trevor
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Australia needs a fundamental re-think of its USO policy in view of the 10 years of experience with competition policy in telecommunications and the need to ensure equity for consumers in national broadband policy. The changes proposed here would provided benefits for consumers, supplies and government. A new USO policy could be financed from the annual interest accrued by the Future Fund, currently estimated to be of the order of $3.8 billion. Such interest returns would be transferred to fund two major components of a new USO policy -- continuation of the existing obligations related to voice and pay phones, as well as the provision of capital towards new infrastructure commitments for new high speed broadband services. Australia simply cannot afford NOT to have an imaginative national high speed broadband policy including workable policies to ensure access and affordability for all Australians.

description: The authors are Tiago Soares dos Reis and Walter Gomide. James Anderson appears on the archive in an editorial capacity. The transreal numbers, proposed by James Anderson, are an extension of the real numbers. This new set is closed under the four arithmetical operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. In particular, division by zero is allowed. Anderson introduced the transreals intuitively and axiomatically. In this paper we propose a construction of the transreals from the reals. Thus the transreal numbers and their arithmetic arise as consequences of real numbers. We define the set of transreal numbers as a certain class of subsets of ordered pairs of real numbers and we show that, in an appropriate sense, there is a copy of the real numbers in this new set.
Understanding adaptation to first-episode psychosis: The relevance of trauma and posttraumatic growth

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This paper examines recovery from first-episode psychosis in terms of models of trauma and posttraumatic growth. Two first-episode psychosis patients (male and female aged 22 and 25 years respectively) who had a diagnosis of Bipolar I Disorder and had been hospitalised at a public mental health inpatient unit and their family members participated. Qualitative data from in-depth interviews suggests that recovery from first-episode psychosis can be conceptualised within a trauma framework. The two first-episode psychosis participants identified their experiences as traumatic and acknowledged elements of posttraumatic growth. The case studies also point to individual differences and needs and demonstrate important areas for research and early intervention practices. Research is also needed to understand the broader complexities of growth and how it relates to the experience of first-episode psychosis and recovery from this event.

Development of a shortened form of the Coping Responses Inventory-Youth with an Australian sample
Creators: name: Eyles, Deborah J.
name: Bates, Glen
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The 48-item Coping Responses Inventory-Youth (CRI-Youth; Moos, 1993) measures coping strategies used by adolescents in response to stressful life circumstances. This study tested the underlying structure of the CRI-Youth in an Australian adolescent sample to examine the crosscultural relevance of the scale. Results of the principal component analysis were also used to develop a shortened version of the CRI-Youth. The data came from 303 children aged between 11 to 16 years. Exploratory principal component analyses revealed that a four component model was the best fit for the data with components labeled as: Cognitive Avoidance and Emotional Expression; Logical Analysis and Problem Solving; Seeking Support and Guidance; Seeking Alternative Rewards. Through an iterative process, the resulting solution included 21 items that corresponded to the breakdown of approach and avoidance factors of the original scale. The total shortened CRI-Youth and four components had sound intemal consistencies, which compared favorably to Moos' (1993) subscales and total scale reliability coefficients. Gender differences were evident on the shortened scale, with girls showing higher overall usage of coping responses than boys, and on all components except Seeking Altemative Rewards.

Autobiographical memory and dysphoria: The effect of mood, gender, and cue type on generality and latency
Creators: name: Popovski, Michelle
name: Bates, Glen
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This study investigated whether self-referential cognitive processes typically associated with depression also apply to dysphoria (mild depression). Specific focus was on bias in the autobiographical memories of dysphoric and non-dysphoric people associated with latency and generality. Possible gender differences and the impact of different cue types on responses were also explored. A sample of 25 men and 20 women completed an Autobiographical Memory Task that included positive, negative, and neutral cue words. Participants were allocated to dysphoric and non-dysphoric groups on the basis of scores on the Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale Depression scale DASS-DS (Lovibond & Lovibond, 1995). As expected, dysphoric participants provided more general responses to positive cues than controls. However, the over-generality response in the dysphorics did not extend to negative cues. Gender differences were confined to neutral cues, with dysphoric women providing more over-general responses than non-dysphoric women and both groups of men. Unexpectedly, no latency bias was found in memory recall. Overall, results suggest over-generality is a feature of the cognitive processing of dysphoric individuals when they attempt to access positive personal memories.

Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic evidence and comparison with authentic samples. Compounds 1–8 were assessed for their in vitro antibacterial activity against Pseudomonas aureofasciens, Burkholderia glathei, Bacillus pumilus and their antifungal effects against Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus niger, Penicillium digitatum, Botrytis cinerea and Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici, using the disc diffusion method (20 μL/disc). A remarkable inhibition zone 10–15 mm of the growth of the bacterial and fungal agents was observed. The obtained results suggest that the isolated compounds could be promising abiotic antimicrobial agents.

description: Background
Adrenocortical neoplasms are classically divided into adenomas (ACA) and carcinomas (ACC). Heterogeneous appearance and greater size are criteria to suggest malignancy, along with the urinary steroid profile (USP). The presence of regression and myelolipomatous changes in adenomas (ACA-RML) can contribute to confusion with ACC and its USP remains unknown.
Objective
To evaluate the features of ACA-RML in comparison with other adrenocortical neoplasms.
Methods
We selected consecutive ACA (11), ACA-RML (7) and ACC (13) cases for which USP analysis was performed before surgery and tissue was available for histological evaluation (King's College Hospital, 2005-2012). Cases were classified according to WHO and Armed Forces Institute of Pathology criteria. USPs were obtained by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. Total excretion of individual steroids and indices (sums and ratios chosen to reflect steroid metabolic activity) were compared between ACA-RML, ACA, and ACC.
Results
In comparison with ACA, tumors in ACA-RML were significantly larger (8.5±2.4 vs. 3.5±1.0, P=0.002), presented in older patients and showed relatively higher incidence in males. Mitotic figure counts were significantly lower (0.39±0.04 vs. 0.93±0.11 in ACA, p=0.001) and revealed higher frequency of apoptotic cells (100% vs. 9% in ACA, p= 0.001). The USP of ACA-RML showed no diagnostic features of ACC. No differences from ACA were significant but there was a tendency towards lower DHA and DHA metabolites.
Conclusions
ACA-RML reveals distinctive histological features, and lack of USP markers of malignancy. More cases of this rare tumor may confirm differences from ACA in steroid excretion. It is important to recognize ACA-RML because its size and heterogeneous appearance raise the possibility of ACC.
From ‘Britain’s Farm’ to ‘America’s Junior Partner’ and beyond: post-WWII exhibitions of design in Melbourne

description: 'Britain's Farm' and 'America's Junior Partner': that's what Australia was labelled around the WWII period. Prior to WWII it is argued Australia was largely an agrarian nation serving the interests of the British Empire, while the threats posed by WWII marked the nation's transformation in becoming industrialised and 'Americanised'. The key themes of this paper will be exploring the industrialisation of Australia, and the cultural pull for Australian industrial designers between their country's old cultural and economic allegiances to Britain and the increasing post-WWII dominance of America.

Year: 2024

description: This paper presents a narrative enquiry of the use of learning technologies and communities of practice (Wenger, 1998) in creating and delivering the online Master of Arts (Writing) at Swinburne University of Technology. We consider the research question of how we have come to understand and practice elements of a social constructivist pedagogy involving engaged, learner-centred peer and community support both as a creative team and as e-moderators. We consider, too, that our pedagogy is informed by poststructural understandings of learner identities as invested and unfixed (Weedon, 1997). This study utilizes the self as data by drawing on narratives of course developers and lecturers collaborating to create unique materials. While our methodology utilises elements of autoethnography (Chang, 2008), it also involves analyzing themes and narrative configurations in stories (Polkinghorne, 1995), specifically those of tutors and students. Our narrative exemplifies and proposes strategies for writing e-curriculum for web 2.0; for scaffolding e-learning, and for creating and maintaining communities of invested, engaged learners. Simultaneously we add nuances to the scholarly conversation about e-learning communities, e-curriculum development and subjective academic narrative methodology.

description: Welders are exposed to high concentrations of nanoparticles. Compared to larger particles, nanoparticles have been associated with more toxic effects at the cellular level, including the generation of more reactive oxygen species activity. Current methods for welding-fume aerosol exposures do not differentiate between the nano-fraction and the larger particles. The objectives of this work are to establish a method to estimate the respiratory deposition of the nano-fraction of selected metals in welding fumes and test this method in a laboratory setting. Manganese (Mn), Nickel (Ni), Chromium (Cr), and hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) are commonly found in welding fume aerosols and have been linked with severe adverse health outcomes. Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and ion chromatography (IC) were evaluated as methods for analyzing the content of Mn, Ni, Cr, and Cr(VI) nanoparticles in welding fumes collected with nanoparticle respiratory deposition (NRD) samplers. NRD samplers collect nanoparticles at deposition efficiencies that closely resemble physiological deposition in the respiratory tract. The limits of detection (LODs) and quantitation (LOQs) for ICP-MS and IC were determined analytically. Mild and stainless steel welding fumes generated with a robotic welder were collected with NRD samplers inside a chamber. LODs (LOQs) for Mn, Ni, Cr, and Cr(VI) were 1.3 μg (4.43 μg), 0.4 μg (1.14 μg), 1.1 μg (3.33 μg), and 0.4 μg (1.42 μg), respectively. Recovery of spiked samples and certified welding fume reference material was greater than 95%. When testing the method, the average percentage of total mass concentrations collected by the NRD samplers was ∼30% for Mn, ∼50% for Cr, and ∼60% for Ni, indicating that a large fraction of the metals may lie in the nanoparticle fraction. This knowledge is critical to the development of toxicological studies aimed at finding links between exposure to welding fume nanoparticles and adverse health effects. Future work will involve the validation of the method in workplace settings.[Supplementary materials are available for this article.

description: In modern life, creativity and creativity are moving forward with great strides in every aspect. One such area is the family, and this topic is like an ocean, and one can imagine neither the beginning nor the end of it. There are so many family issues. While one is being researched, the other is waiting to be resolved. One such problem, one of the characteristics of the family theme in Uzbek literature, which has not yet been researched, was studied and illuminated.

description: There is an increase in the use of implantable medical devices for the repair of soft and hard tissue. Many such devices can initiate acute inflammation, or become infected when implanted, resulting in device failure. Alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (MSH) is a potent anti-inflammatory hormone, which also possesses antimicrobial properties, produced in the body with very short peptide sequences that make it amenable for easy laboratory synthesis. The aim of this work is to immobilise short MSH peptides onto medical device surfaces using molecules called resorcinarenes, which are known to attach to a wide variety of material surfaces. This is being approached by synthesizing MSH-resorcinarene molecules with the aim of being able to 'dip and dry' treat medical devices with an antiinflammatory and antimicrobial 'coating'.

description: In a population of chronic dialysis patients with an extensive burden of cardiovascular disease, estimation of the effectiveness of cardioprotective medication in the literature is based on calculation of a hazard ratio comparing hazard of mortality for two groups (with or without drug exposure) measured at a single point in time or through the cumulative metric of proportion of days covered (PDC) on medication. Though both approaches can be modeled in a time-dependent manner using a Cox regression model, we propose a more complete time-dependent metric for evaluating cardioprotective medication efficacy. We consider that drug effectiveness is potentially the result of interactions between three time-dependent covariate measures, current drug usage status (ON vs. OFF), proportion of cumulative exposure to drug at a given point in time, and the patient's switching behavior between taking and not taking the medication. We show that modeling of all three of these time-dependent measures illustrates more clearly how varying patterns of drug exposure affect drug effectiveness, which could remain obscured when modeled by the more standard single time-dependent covariate approaches. We propose that understanding the nature and directionality of these interactions will help the biopharmaceutical industry in better estimating drug efficacy.

description: This paper focuses on the development of an actuarial science track for the mathematics major at Salisbury University. A timeline from the initial investigation into such a program through the proposal and approval processes is shared for those who might be interested in developing a new actuarial program. It is wise to start small and take advantage of as many existing courses as possible. Two new courses were developed to fill the void at SU. These courses as well as seminars for preparing students for SOA/CAS exams are described. The extent to which the program prepares students for taking the actuarial exams and/or finding employment is also discussed.
The semiotics of global warming: Combating semiotic corruption
Creators: name: Gare, Arran
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The central focus of this paper is the disjunction between the findings of climate science in revealing the threat of global warming and the failure to act appropriately to these warnings. The development of climate science can be illuminated through the perspective provided by Peircian semiotics, but efforts to account for its success as a science and its failure to convince people to act accordingly indicate the need to supplement Peirce’s ideas. The more significant gaps, it is argued, call for the integration of major new ideas. It will be argued that Peirce should be viewed as a Schellingian philosopher, and it will then be shown how this facilitates integration into his philosophy of concepts developed by other philosophers and theorists within this tradition. In particular, Bourdieu’s concepts of the ‘habitus’ and ‘field’ will be integrated with Peirce’s semiotics and used to analyse the achievements and failures of climate science. It will be suggested that the resulting synthesis can augment Peirce’s evolutionary cosmology and so provide a better basis for comprehending and responding to the situation within which we find ourselves.

Beyond social democracy? Takis Fotopoulos' vision of an inclusive democracy as new liberatory project
Creators: name: Gare, Arran
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: 'Towards an Inclusive Democracy', it is argued, offers a powerful new interpretation of the history and destructive dynamics of the market and provides an inspiring new vision of the future in place of both neo-liberalism and existing forms of socialism. It is shown how this work synthesizes and develops Karl Polanyi’s characterization of the relationship between society and the market and Cornelius Castoriadis’ philosophy of autonomy. A central component of Fotopoulos’ argument is that social democracy can provide no answer to neo-liberalism, so the only viable alternative to neo-liberalism is the form of inclusive democracy he elaborates. Reviewing Castoriadis’ concept of autonomy, it is argued that while Fotopoulos is certainly correct given the present deformed nature of social democracy, there is no reason to exclude social democracy as such from what Fotopoulos calls the tradition of autonomy. It is suggested that if the working class movement could free itself from the capitalist imaginary and return to its quest for autonomy, a synthesis of a radically reformed social democracy and inclusive democracy could greatly improve the prospects of each to successfully challenge not only neo-liberalism, but also the emerging liberal fascism of USA, Britain and Australia.
