description: Der im Folgenden dargestellte Bereich der indischen Gesellschaft ist hierzulande in den Medien und auch im wissenschaftlichen Betrieb sträflich vernachlässigt worden, und dies, obwohl zwischen muslimischen Kulturträgern und Hindus seit dem 10. Jahrhundert tiefgreifende Wechselbeziehungen bestehen, die sowohl das Hindutum als auch den Islam in Indien nachhaltig geprägt haben. Hier sind sich, wie anderswo auch, Minderheit und Mehrheit begegnet, haben sich gegenseitig ergänzt und konzeptualisiert und daher stets ein kulturelles und sehr komplexes Ensemble gebildet. Bei dieser Interaktion kann man Gruppenbildungsprozesse identifizieren, die religiös interpretiert werden und die je nach Interessenlagen der Gruppen variieren können. Religiosität - einerlei ob Islamizität oder Hinduismus - wird dabei zum sprachlichen und symbolischen Ausdruck verschiedener Verhandlungsprozesse zwischen Mehrheit und Minderheit, die Religion wird zum Interpretationsrahmen gesellschaftlicher Realität. Das heißt aber auch, dass das religiöse Repertoire funktional ist und sich also dem Kontext anpasst

description: Notiz 1: Am 17. Juli des Jahres 1997 wird mit Kocheril Raman Narayanan zum ersten Mal in der Geschichte des unabhängigen Indien ein „Unberührbarer“ zum Staatspräsident des Landes gewählt. Vier Monate später: Anlässlich der International Conference on Resource Management and Development Strategies an der Aligarh Muslim University, an der etwa 150 Wissenschaftler, darunter über 100 indische Kollegen, teilnahmen, stellte ein amerikanischer Kollege anlässlich des gemeinsamen Abendessens die Frage, welcher „community“ der neue Staatspräsident angehöre. Die Frage wird an die Kollegen aus Südindien weitergereicht. Keiner kann (oder will?) sie beantworten.

description: Das Kastensystem bildet seit alters eines jener Merkmale der indischen Zivilisation, die sie für fremde Beobachter ebenso wie Eroberer einzigartig, unverkennbar und schwer bestimmbar machten. Es mag deshalb als verwirrend erscheinen, dass die ohnehin schwierige Beschreibung dieser fremdartigen Sozialordnung zusätzlich mit einer Betrachtung jener religiösen, dörflichen und politischen Ordnungssysteme Indiens verknüpft wird, die gleichermaßen das Erstaunen der Europäer hervorgerufen haben. Da diese drei Ordnungssysteme aber das Kastensystem religiös legitimiert, praktisch vorausgesetzt und politisch instrumentalisiert haben, so muss diese Betrachtung diese drei zusätzlichen Ordnungsmodelle mit berücksichtigen, die sich, wie so vieles in Indien, fast ununterscheidbar wechselseitig durchdringen, begründen und stützen. Unter Berücksichtigung dieser wechselseitigen Bedingtheit und Evolution der Ordnungen sollen im Folgenden zunächst der Hinduismus, anschließend das in dem Funktionszusammenhang des Dorfes vorrangig wirksame Kastensystem, danach seine soziale Dynamik, rituelle Differenzierung und religiöse Begründung und abschließend sein Stellenwert innerhalb der traditionellen und aktuellen Herrschafts- und Wirtschaftssysteme betrachtet werden.

Task shifting redefined: removing social and structural barriers to improve delivery of HIV services for people who inject drugs
Creators: name: Ti, Lianping
name: Kerr, Thomas
Publisher: name: BioMed Central
Year: 2016

description: HIV infection among people who inject drugs (IDU) remains a major global public health challenge. However, among IDU, access to essential HIV-related services remains unacceptably low, especially in settings where stigma, discrimination, and criminalization exist. These ongoing problems account for a significant amount of preventable morbidity and mortality within this population, and indicate the need for novel approaches to HIV program delivery for IDU. Task shifting is a concept that has been applied successfully in African settings as a way to address health worker shortages. However, to date, this concept has not been applied as a means of addressing the social and structural barriers to HIV prevention and treatment experienced by IDU. Given the growing evidence demonstrating the effectiveness of IDU-run programs in increasing access to healthcare, the time has come to extend the notion of task shifting and apply it in settings where stigma, discrimination, and criminalization continue to pose significant barriers to HIV program access for IDU. By involving IDU more directly in the delivery of HIV programs, task shifting may serve to foster a new era in the response to HIV/AIDS among IDU.

Die Partei, die sich seit ihrer Gründung 1966 mit einem Programm eines mit gewalttätigen Aktionen und populistischen Gesten gespickten Hindunationalismus in Maharashtra etabliert hat und der es 1995 im Verein mit der BJP gelungen war, die Kongresspartei auch in ihrer westindischen Hochburg zu entmachten, verlor im Oktober 1999 die Wahlen zur Landesregierung. Eine Koalition des Congress (I) und der neu gegründeten National Congress Party (NCP) unter Maharashtras big man Sharad Pawar übernahm die Regierung in diesem westlichen Bundesland, das die Shivsena schon allein auf Grund ihrer regionalistischen Positionen zu regieren beansprucht. Damit schien die Partei schon nach ihrer ersten Regierungsperiode an ihre Grenzen gestoßen zu sein. (...).

Can design generate information to aid in technological innovation? An investigation using industry based case studies
Creators: name: Hyams, Michelle
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: For the first time in the history of the Cooperative Research Centre (CRC) enterprise, design and design research was involved from the very beginning of a scientific research program. Within the CRC Wood Innovations, Project 2.3 was set up to research and develop innovative techniques for the production of bentwood components, including the use of microwave technology. A Masters of Design (M.Des) project was included into the research program to contribute new and innovative ideas to assist in the design and development of a commercial bending technology. The aims of Project 2.3 that help to guide the outcomes of the design project were to develop innovative techniques for wood bending for the mass-production of bentwood components, to produce new designs and products and to develop a means for technology transfer. A driving goal for this design project was to use existing parameters of industry partners and research constraints to produce furniture prototypes that utilise and test microwave bentwood components. Particular emphasis has been placed on technological, marketing and manufacturing parameters, while working with two Australian manufacturers, CDe Group and Jensen Jarrah. The importance of producing physical embodiments of furniture using microwave bentwood components was that they allow the designer to test bentwood manufacturing techniques, component reliability and consistency, while also placing the technology into a simulated commercial production environment. The objectives of the design project can be identified and divided into a number of elements. There was a need to identify collective needs and desires of the Australian Furniture Industry to give a strong information base to work from. Through a series of experiments and collaborative projects (case studies), furniture prototypes were created and the prototypes were used to stimulate discussion. The conversation generated information to assist in furthering the technological and product development of bentwood components in both scientific and manufacturing fields. The final stage consisted of an analysis of the information produced through the feed back generated by the prototypes. The design project contained in this thesis was designed and completed to assist in the transition of a pre-commercial technology to a commercially viable manufacturing technique.

Towards a new taxonomy of managerial competence an open systems perspective
Creators: name: Shrivastava, Samir
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Although scholars have generated a substantial body of evidence on what managers do, theoretical models and explanations of managerial work are scarce. And the ones that exist do not identify what managers should do. In an attempt to fill this lacuna, this thesis distills a managerial brief from the first principles of systems theory. It is reasoned that just as cells are lower-level open systems embedded in higher-level biological organisms, occupational roles are lower-level open systems embedded in higher-level social systems. Understanding how open systems create value for the suprasystem in which they are embedded can enable one to understand how those occupying managerial roles might create value for their organisations. As per the systems view, adopted in this thesis, managers should strive for organisational survival if they are to be deemed effective. It follows that if one can discern what managers need to do to contribute towards organisational survival then one can make assertions about what managers should be competent at. This argument eventually leads to a new taxonomy of managerial competence. The open systems view suggests that managers should be competent at managing interfaces, growth, and contingencies. Accordingly, the proposed taxonomy of managerial competence contains just three competency clusters. A clear line-of-sight is established between systemic properties and the managerial competencies contained in the three clusters. In the course of identifying what managers should do, the thesis amplifies why systems age and suggests a new way of describing the structure of systems. These contributions not only add conceptual clarity to management-related systems thinking, but also suggest a new definition of competency. In essence, this thesis presents a conceptual synthesis of managerial work that calls for reframing and re-categorising extant evidence. The theoretical reasoning, if embraced, has the potential to bring about a major change in how managers view their work and workforce.

B.K. Tikader. Paratypes (3♀♀) (5353/18), (same data as holotype).
 Remarks. Theridion indicum Tikader, 1977 was originally described based on four female specimens from South Andaman, India (Tikader, 1977) and subsequently reported from West Bengal (Sen et al., 2015). However, Ganeshkumar & Siliwal (2007) reported Achaearanea brookesiana Barrion & Litsinger, from mainland India and mentioned that this species could be the synonym of T. indicum , without examining the type material. Later on, A. brookesiana was transfeered to the genus Parasteatoda based on genitalia characters (Yoshida 2008). We have studied the genitalia of the paratype female of T. indicum from National Zoological Collections of Zoological Survey of India, Kolkata. The epigynum have thick and short ducts, globular spermathecae and two openings on both sides of the depression (Figs.12-13). The abdomen is having a median cardiac pattern with lateral light lines (Fig.7). These characters are showing the affinity of T. indicum towards the genus Nihonhimea. Further, based on descriptions and illustrations provided by Chrysanthus (1963), it is certain that T. indicum, A. brookesiana may be junior synonyms of the very variable and widespread species Nihonhimea mundula (L. Koch, 1872), which was already known from India. So, on the basis of external morphology and the structure of the genitalia, this species can be transferred to the genus Nihonhimea.

Automated selection of appropriate pheromone representations in Ant Colony Optimisation
Creators: name: Montgomery, James
name: Randall, Marcus
name: Hendtlass, Tim
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Ant colony optimization (ACO) is a constructive metaheuristic that uses an analogue of ant trail pheromones to learn about good features of solutions. Critically, the pheromone representation for a particular problem is usually chosen intuitively rather than by following any systematic process. In some representations, distinct solutions appear multiple times, increasing the effective size of the search space and potentially misleading ants as to the true learned value of those solutions. In this article, we present a novel system for automatically generating appropriate pheromone representations, based on the characteristics of the problem model that ensures unique pheromone representation of solutions. This is the first stage in the development of a generalized ACO system that could be applied to a wide range of problems with little or no modification. However, the system we propose may be used in the development of any problem-specific ACO algorithm.

description: Information systems are part of purposeful socio-technical systems and consequently theories of action may help in understanding them. Current systems analysis and design methodologies seem to have been influenced only representation of the world. Many disciplines have discussed an alternative ‘situational ’ theory of action. There is no design methodology that fully supports designing systems reflecting the situational theory of action. The aim of this paper is to describe the motivation for, and progress to date of research-in-progress developing a design methodology based on concepts from the situational theory of action. This methodology for designing situational information systems is being iteratively refined using a combination of case studies and action research. This project is significant because many information systems fail in pressured routine environments where we would argue that the situational theory of action provides a better description of purposeful activity.

description: Quality curated datasets related to nanomaterials safety evaluation are needed for sensitivity analysis and performance testing of the risk assessment models/tools chosen to be evaluated for inclusion in the caLIBRAte System of Systems framework. Recent reviews on quality aspects for toxicological studies in general and specifically for nanomaterials provided an excellent basis for defining a set of quality criteria that will aid the project in the selection of appropriate datasets. Quality-related terms, including reproducibility, repeatability, reliability, uncertainty, relevance and completeness, have been explained to detail and key quality parameter relationships depicted based on the recent review by Marchese Robinson et al, 2016. Furthermore, annexes summarize existing quality evaluation initiatives related to nanomaterials, required input parameters for selected risk assessment models, as well as minimum information checklists for both physicochemical characterization and environmental health and safety data. The proposed caLIBRAte quality assessment method involves scoring of relevance, reliability and completeness of data, including the possibility of addressing the entities in flexible order and related to a developing and increasingly precise nanomaterials ontology. The overall concept sets a basis for data curation that is aimed to guide the efforts within caLIBRAte and beyond. Future refinement of the proposed assessment parameters and workflow are likely to occur, as the basis for quality rating and fusion of diverse disparate data types and “Big Data” generally represents a young and recent science discipline. Additionally and significant to this deliverable, the definitions of quality and completeness should be expected to evolve in parallel to an increasing scientific understanding.
The resource-based view and value to the customer

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Much of the conceptual analysis and empirical research within the RBV has focused on the firm's perspective of key resources and the value to the firm of these key resources. Another useful perspective on key resources is to explore the value they provide to the customer. The question of interest here is whether key resources that hold value for the firm also hold value for the customer. A research approach using an interview schedule is proposed here as an appropriate methodology by which to explore the customer perspective of key resources. This conceptual paper suggests that the outcomes of studies based on this research approach will provide insights into the identification of the factors the customer regards as the firm's valuable resources and how this influences their choice of firm. An understanding of the customer perspective has the potential to enhance the firm’s ability to develop customer value related capabilities.

description: Background: Next generation sequencing provides a powerful tool to study genome structure in species whose genomes are far from being completely sequenced. In this work we describe and compare different computational approaches to evaluate the repetitive component of the genome of sunflower, by using medium/low coverage Illumina or 454 libraries. Results By varying sequencing technology (Illumina or 454), coverage (0.55 x-1.25 x), assemblers and assembly procedures, six different genomic databases were produced. The annotation of these databases showed that they were composed of different proportions of repetitive DNA families. The final assembly of the sequences belonging to the six databases produced a whole genome set of 283,800 contigs. The redundancy of each contig was estimated by mapping the whole genome set with a large Illumina read set and measuring the number of matched Illumina reads. The repetitive component amounted to 81% of the sunflower genome, that is composed mainly of numerous families of Gypsy and Copia retrotransposons. Also many families of non autonomous retrotransposons and DNA transposons (especially of the Helitron superfamily) were identified. Conclusions The results substantially matched those previously obtained by using a Sanger-sequenced shotgun library and a standard 454 whole-genome-shotgun approach, indicating the reliability of the proposed procedures also for other species. The repetitive sequences were collected to produce a database, SUNREP, that will be useful for the annotation of the sunflower genome sequence and for studying the genome evolution in dicotyledons.

 Theridion tikaderi Patel, 1973: 149, f. 1-4 (description and illustration of female).
 Comments. Theridion tikaderi was originally described on the basis 26 females from Gujarat state of India (Patel, 1973) with poor description of genitalia and illustration. The type depository information was not mentioned (World Spider Catalog, 2019). The external morphology and the patterns on the dorsum of the abdomen provided by original description indicate the affinity of this species towards the genus Nihonhimea. The abdomen is globular in shape with white and chocolate patches on ventral and dorsal side (Figs 1-4 in Patel, 1973). So, it is concluded that the species can be transferred to the genus Nihonhimea.

Flying not flapping: a strategic framework for e-learning and pedagogical innovation in higher education institutions
Creators: name: Salmon, Gilly
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: E-learning is in a rather extraordinary position. It was born as a 'tool' and now finds itself in the guise of a somewhat wobbly arrow of change. In practice, changing the way thousands of teachers teach, learners learn, innovation is promoted and sustainable change in traditional institutions is achieved across hundreds of different disciplines is a demanding endeavour that will not be achieved by learning technologies alone. It involves art, craft and science as well as technology. This paper attempts to show how it might be possible to capture and model complex strategic processes that will help move the potential of e-learning in universities to a new stage of development. It offers the example of a four-quadrant model created as a framework for an e-learning strategy.

description: Background: For decades, Thailand has experienced high rates of illicit drug use and related harms. In response, the Thai government has relied on drug law enforcement to address this problem. Despite these efforts, high rates of drug use persist, and Thailand has been contending with an enduring epidemic of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) among people who inject drugs (IDU). Methods: In response to concerns regarding drug-related harm in Thailand and a lack of research focused on the experiences and needs of Thai IDU, the Mitsampan Community Research Project was launched in 2008. The project involved administering surveys capturing a range of behavioral and other data to community-recruited IDU in Bangkok in 2008 and 2009. Results: In total, 468 IDU in Bangkok were enrolled in the project. Results revealed high rates of midazolam injection, non-fatal overdose and incarceration. Syringe sharing remained widespread among this population, driven primarily by problems with access to syringes and methamphetamine injection. As well, reports of police abuse were common and found to be associated with high-risk behavior. Problems with access to evidence-based drug treatment and HIV prevention programs were also documented. Although compulsory drug detention centers are widely used in Thailand, data suggested that these centers have little impact on drug use behaviors among IDU in Bangkok. Conclusions: The findings from this project highlight many ongoing health and social problems related to illicit drug use and drug policies in Bangkok. They also suggest that the emphasis on criminal justice approaches has resulted in human rights violations at the hands of police, and harms associated with compulsory drug detention and incarceration. Collectively, the findings indicate the urgent need for the implementation of evidence-based policies and programs in this setting.
Three-body effects on the phase behaviour of noble gases from molecular simulation
Creators: name: Wang, Liping
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: In this work the phase behaviour of noble gases is studied comprehensively by different molecular simulation methods using different intermolecular potentials. The aim is to investigate three-body effects on the phase behaviour of noble gases. A true two-body potential model (Barker-Fisher-Watts potential) and the three-body potential model (Axilrod-Teller term) have been used. The results obtained from the two-body BFW potential with the three-body Axilrod-Teller potential included for the vapour-liquid and solid-liquid phase equilibrium properties of pure noble gases are compared with the calculations using the Lennard-Jones potential with different suggested parameter values. The results have been compared with experimental data and the best parameter values for simulating the thermodynamic properties of noble gases are found. Three-body effects on the phase behaviour of noble gases are reported for a large range of density, temperature and pressure. Simple relationships have been found between two-body and three-body potential energies for pure fluids and solids. Three-body effects on the vapour-liquid phase equilibrium properties of argon, krypton, xenon and argon-krypton systems are studied by the Gibbs-Duhem integration Monte Carlo method. Three-body effects on the solid-liquid phase equilibrium properties of argon, krypton and xenon are investigated by non-equilibrium and equilibrium molecular dynamics techniques. All the calculations have been compared with experimental data, which show that three-body interactions play an important role in the overall interatomic interactions of noble gases.
Design and synthesis of biodegradable thermoplastic polyurethanes for tissue engineering

description: The aim of this study was to design and synthesise thermoplastic biodegradable and biocompatible polyurethanes for tissue engineering applications. A secondary aim was to tailor a range of degradation rates of the polyurethanes to suit a broad spectrum of tissue engineering applications. Various factors were systematically investigated in order to provide a means of controlling mechanical, thermal and degradation properties of the polyurethanes. The factors investigated included variation of the hard segment percentage, the diisocyanate, the soft segment macrodiol as well as the chain extender. Soft segment macrodiols were synthesised for this study including a poly(γ-butyrolactone) macrodiol which has been used to make biodegradable aliphatic poly(ester-urethane) for the first time. A novel range of degradable chain extenders was also developed and has been reported. The polymers were characterised using Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC), Instron tensile testing, Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and Shore hardness. Cell culture testing was performed as was a three-month degradation study which showed the polyurethanes to be biocompatible and biodegradable respectively. Selected materials were shown to be suitable for scaffold fabrication using Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM), and the scaffolds made were further shown to support primary fibroblast growth in vitro.

description: Background: Antipsychotic drugs can be used to help treat a wide variety of psychiatric disorders. However, specific antipsychotic drugs for any particular patient may need to be changed for a number of different reasons, including a lack of therapeutic efficacy and / or intolerance to medication side-effects. Drug switching may occur through a limited number of established patterns. The nature of these changes is not well characterized in youth, despite their frequent occurrence. Methods A retrospective analysis of antipsychotic drug switches was conducted on patients who had been admitted as inpatients to a tertiary care child and adolescent psychiatric institute. PharmaNet (a large, central administrative database) records of all medications prescribed in the 52 weeks prior to admission, and then between admission and discharge, were analyzed for switching patterns. Additional data regarding diagnoses were obtained from medical chart review. Results Patients represented a diagnostically heterogeneous population, and almost all antipsychotic drugs were administered off-label. In the one year prior to and during admission to the hospital, a total of 31 out of 139 patients switched antipsychotic drugs. The frequency of switching increased closer to the time of admission, and the proportional rate of switching was even higher during hospital stay. The most common switch was from risperidone to quetiapine. Our analysis identified three main patterns of drug switching, all occurring with similar frequency: titrated drug switches, abrupt drug switches and concurrent drug administration. Conclusions The present study indicates that antipsychotic drug switching in youth may be relatively common, particularly in the year prior to hospitalization. No specific manner of drug switching predominates. This study also demonstrates the feasibility of using large administrative databases to characterise switching patterns in youth.

description: This paper proposes a new optical burst switching (OBS) paradigm known as dynamic two-way reservation OBS (DTWR/OBS), in which the burst length is dynamically determined at an ingress router, according to the minimum length reservation period available on each wavelength channel within a lightpath, from the ingress router to the egress router. The dynamic nature of DTWR/OBS ensures the packet transmission rate is controlled at the ingress routers, based on the level of network congestion. This increases network utilization and eliminates burst blocking due to wavelength contention. An analytical model for a single isolated optical cross-connect (OXC) is derived to determine the waiting time distribution of an arbitrary IP packet at the ingress router using the proposed DTWR/OBS. The accuracy of the analytical model is confirmed by simulations.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: Developing enduring capacity to monitor ocean life requires investing in people and their institutions to build infrastructure, ownership, and long-term support networks. International initiatives can enhance access to scientific data, tools and methodologies, and develop local expertise to use them, but without ongoing engagement may fail to have lasting benefit. Linking capacity development and technology transfer to sustained ocean monitoring is a win-win proposition. Trained local experts will benefit from joining global communities of experts who are building the comprehensive Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS). This two-way exchange will benefit scientists and policy makers in developing and developed countries. The first step toward the GOOS is complete: identification of an initial set of biological Essential Ocean Variables (EOVs) that incorporate the Group on Earth Observations (GEO) Essential Biological Variables (EBVs), and link to the physical and biogeochemical EOVs. EOVs provide a globally consistent approach to monitoring where the costs of monitoring oceans can be shared and where capacity and expertise can be transferred globally. Integrating monitoring with existing international reporting and policy development connects ocean observations with agreements underlying many countries’ commitments and obligations, including under SDG 14, thus catalyzing progress toward sustained use of the ocean. Combining scientific expertise with international capacity development initiatives can help meet the need of developing countries to engage in the agreed United Nations (UN) initiatives including new negotiations for the conservation and sustainable use of marine biological diversity of areas beyond national jurisdiction, and the needs of the global community to understand how the ocean is changing.

description: This deliverable outlines the process undertaken by the four RESET implementing partners in the development of their second Gender Equality Plan (GEP). 

GEPs 2.0 have been elaborated upon the successes and challenges encountered during the implementation of the first GEPs and informed by an extensive survey collected from staff and students across the institutions on their knowledge and assessment of GEPs 1.0. The four RESET second generation GEPs maintain their full alignment with Horizon Europe requirements while reflecting a unique and locally tailored approach to gender equality. Although all GEPs share a commitment to promoting gender equality, diversity, and inclusivity, they were shaped by the distinct cultural and institutional priorities of each university. 

This deliverable summarises and demonstrates RESET universities commitment not only to address immediate institutional needs but also to lay the foundation for sustainable, long-term cultural change, ensuring that gender equality and inclusivity remain integral to the future of these four academic environments. 

This deliverable may be subject to final acceptance by the European Commission.
TANDEM: a design method for integrating web services into multi-agent systems

description: This paper introduces a new design method for multi-agent systems (MAS) that incorporate logic programming. The DigitalFriend is an example of a MAS with a built-in logic language interpreter, which is aimed at having the end-user as developer. It uses small fragments of logic as dynamic glue, bringing together numerous sub-agents that may exist as Web services. However, application developers need to devise well-formed predicates and logic rules - and there lies the need for a specific design method. The well-established techniques of Task Analysis and entity relation Normalization are drawn together into our new design method (TANDEM), introduced here with an example application - the movie-cinema problem.

description: Background: Blue lights are sometimes placed in public washrooms to discourage injection drug use. Their effectiveness has been questioned and concerns raised that they are harmful but formal research on the issue is limited to a single study. We gathered perceptions of people who use injection drugs on the effects of blue lights with the aim of informing harm reduction practice. Methods: We interviewed 18 people in two Canadian cities who currently or previously used injection drugs to better understand their perceptions of the rationale for and consequences of blue lights in public washrooms. Results: Participants described a preference for private places to use injection drugs, but explained that the need for an immediate solution would often override other considerations. While public washrooms were in many cases not preferred, their accessibility and relative privacy appear to make them reasonable compromises in situations involving urgent injecting. Participants understood the aim of blue lights to be to deter drug use. The majority had attempted to inject in a blue-lit washroom. While there was general agreement that blue lights do make injecting more difficult, a small number of participants were entirely undeterred by them, and half would use a blue-lit washroom if they needed somewhere to inject urgently. Participants perceived that, by making veins less visible, blue lights make injecting more dangerous. By dispersing public injection drug use to places where it is more visible, they also make it more stigmatizing. Despite recognizing these harms, more than half of the participants were not opposed to the continued use of blue lights. Conclusions: Blue lights are unlikely to deter injection drugs use in public washrooms, and may increase drug use-related harms. Despite recognizing these negative effects, people who use injection drugs may be reluctant to advocate against their use. We attempt to reconcile this apparent contradiction by interpreting blue lights as a form of symbolic violence and suggest a parallel with other emancipatory movements for inspiration in advocating against this and other oppressive interventions.
