Hanoi’s everyday spaces: ‘imagined’ tradition through paintings of/in the streets
Creators: name: Dinh, Quoc Phuong
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This paper focuses on a street in Hanoi's Ancient Quarter to examine the shifted attitude towards artistic impression of traditional places. It first reviews the street's history, everyday life and architecture. This paper then analyses street paintings by local painters whose identities, experiences and visual expressions reflect Hanoi's architectural tradition and present‐day changes. Local challenges in (re)defining, promoting and maintaining the Hanoi's tangible and intangible identities will be discussed within the larger realm of cultural production and conservation practice. These findings will be supported by a review of relevant literature, which then may lead to some implication for current and future practices of maintaining traditional streets in the face of rapid change to the built environment in Hanoi or elsewhere.
Keynote: '...but the clouds : a valediction permitting mourning, in three stages of decline'
Creators: name: Tofts, Darren
Publisher: name: Swinburne

description: Sugar cubes are an accretion of sucrose, formed into a solid and static lump or mass of tiny crystalline carbohydrates that hold their shape until placed in liquid. And yet it is liquid that enables sugar crystals to be formed into solid objects in the first place when subjected to heat. They are kind of like clouds. Ethereal, particulate and dissolvable, they are always already on the way to becoming nothing. The sugar cube is a pharmakon of sorts, an integer of opposites that in its either/or-ness can never be reconciled. Like William Gibson's epochal notion of cyberspace, its imminent nothingness is like the 'non space of the mind', intangible, dissolute. And like presence at a distance in telecommunications or writing it transforms and changes the conditions of the environment in which it is immersed. The dissolving sugar cube also resembles even less tangible, invisible states of cultural matter, like Pierre Teilhard de Chardin's concept of the 'noosphere', a stage in the evolution of human life when the earth gets a new skin, not dissimilar to a rabbit's kin, as we have just seen. In his singularly mind blowing Phenomenon of Man (1955), de Chardin describes the noosphere as 'organised matter in its dispersed state', human vibrations 'resounding by the million' around the physical earth. Writing on human evolution during the 1920s and 1930s he intuitively anticipated in the concept of the noosphere something like the Internet that could garner 'a whole layer of human consciousness exerting simultaneous pressure upon the future and the collected and hoarded produce of a million years of thought'. But more tellingly, he even anticipated the problems of nomenclature under a cloud, the difficulty of giving a material name to the immaterial. 'Have we ever tried to form an idea', he asks, of the magnitude of human thought outered from the senses into a thinking layer that circumscribes the world like the atmosphere? De Chardin never uses the word information. But that is the moniker that has been given to the technological age he was imagining.

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This paper examines a marginal YouTube channel of civil dissidence based around anarchist principles of anti-state protest and videos of challenges to police and security personnel in public/private spaces. The channel offers a useful site for considering the emergence and trajectories of pluralistic and antagonistic micropublics. The qualitative analysis focuses on a) spaces and communicative access, b) social media practices, and c) identity and affiliation. Each of these are problematised by the pluralistic and contested nature of engagement with the channel, qualifying our understanding of the civic cultures enabled and the way micropublics emerge and endure or intensify around issues of protest.

Performance evaluation of AlB12 and AlB2 for the boron treatment of molten aluminium
Creators: name: Khaliq, Abdul

Publisher: name: Swinburne

description: Aluminium has been used as an alternative to copper for power transmission. However, the presence of impurities especially transition metals deteriorate the electrical conductivity of smelter grade aluminium [1]. Transition metal impurities such as titanium (Ti), zirconium (Zr), vanadium (V) and chromium (Cr) are removed from molten aluminium by the addition of Al-B master alloys, called boron treatment[2-6]. Al-B master alloys contain AlB12/AlB2 phases that provide boron to form transition metal borides during the boron treatment process. Transition metal borides formed are heavy that settled at the bottom of the furnace during holding of molten aluminium. Thereafter, relatively pure aluminium is decanted from the top of the holding furnace. The boron treated aluminium is used for the manufacturing of electrical conductors.
Sulfidising roast treatment for the removal of chrome spinels from murray basin ilmenite concentrates

description: The Murray Basin region of southeastern Australia represents the remains of a shallow inland sea and contains heavy mineral sand placer deposits typically comprising the primary economic minerals ilmenite (FeTiO3), altered ilmenite, rutile (TiO2), and zircon (ZrSiO4). Rutile and zircon are easily separable from the bulk heavy mineral concentrate and are currently extracted from deposits. The ilmenite component remains largely unexploited due to its wide spectrum of chemical alteration (making a clean separation difficult) and the presence of impurity mineral grains; mainly, chrome spinel (general formula AB2O4; A2+ = divalent cation e.g. Fe, Mg, Mn; B3+ = trivalent cation e.g. Cr, Al, Fe3+). The presence of even a minor amount of chromia (Cr2O3 <0.05%) in the ilmenite product downgrades its market value. While magnetic separation is usually an effective method to achieve a clean separation between ilmenite and chrome spinel, this procedure is not effective for the Murray Basin material as there is a considerable overlap in the magnetic susceptibility properties of both mineral phases [1]. Pownceby et al. [2] recently suggested a potential method for separating chrome spinels from ilmenite which involved changing the physical properties of the individual chrome spinel grains through a sulphidising roast treatment. The aim of the current work is to analyse the sulfidation treatment of chrome spinel as a new route for chrome spinel removal from the Murray Basin ilmenite concentrates. This study comprises two phases of investigation: (1) a systematic thermodynamic assessment of equilibrium reactions in the Fe-Cr-Ti-O-S system to evaluate the effect of composition, temperature, and partial pressures of sulfur and oxygen, and, (2) selected experimental investigations using natural ilmenite and chromite samples to test the findings from the thermodynamic calculations.

description: A decapitation test was used to assess control-pollinated seedlings’ growth in Dacryodes edulis. Thirty nine weeks after sowing, pot-grown seedlings belonging to 13 control-pollinated progenies from 4 provenances were decapitated by removal the shoot apex or the uppermost node, leaving shoots of uniform height of 40 cm. The stem size (height and diameter) were measured and the number of leaves counted weekly for a period of 39 weeks after sowing (WAS) in the nursery. Then, the length and number of lateral shoots (twigs) subsequently formed were measured during a period of 2 to 8 weeks after decapitation (WAD) in a net house to determine the branching frequency. Previous to decapitation, seedling height did not showed significant variation (P>0.05) in all crosses combined, 39 WAS. However, seedling collar diameter and number of leaves showed significant variation (p<0.05). Eight weeks after decapitation, only the number of vigorous twigs showed significant variation (p<0.05) in all crosses combined. The number of weeks after decapitation was the strong predictor of the shoot elongation. According to the conceptual basis of the decapitation test interpretation, the “Sprouting and the Dominance Phases” were not observed in the present study. In fact, D. edulis showed a synchronal shoot growth after decapitation. This habit could be used as a predictive test according to the relationship between branching habit and harvest index.

description: Ciprofloxacin is a commonly used antibiotic and widely detected in wastewaters and farmlands nowadays. This study evaluated the efficacy of next-generation adsorbent (graphene) and conventional adsorbent (granular activated carbon, GAC) for ciprofloxacin removal. Batch experiments and characterization tests were conducted to investigate the adsorption kinetics, equilibrium isotherms, thermodynamic properties, and the influences of solution chemistry (pH, ionic strength, natural organic matter, and water sources). Compared to GAC, graphene showed significantly faster adsorption and reached equilibrium within 3 min, showing the rapid access of ciprofloxacin into the macroporous network of high surface area of graphene as revealed by the BET analysis. The kinetics was better described by pseudo-second-order model, suggesting the importance of the initial ciprofloxacin concentration related to surface site availability of graphene. The adsorption isotherm on graphene followed Langmuir model with a maximum adsorption capacity of 323 mg/g, which was higher than other reported carbonaceous adsorbents. The ciprofloxacin adsorption was thermodynamically favorable on graphene and primarily occurred through π–π interaction, according to the FTIR spectroscopy. While the adsorption capacity of graphene decreased with increasing solution pH due to the speciation change of ciprofloxacin, the adverse effects of ionic strength (0.01–0.5 mol L−1), presence of natural organic matter (5 mg L−1), and different water sources (river water or drinking water) were less significant on graphene than GAC. These results indicated that graphene can serve as alternative adsorbent for ciprofloxacin removal in commonly encountered field conditions, if proper separation and recovery is available in place.Supplemental Data

The adsorption isotherm on graphene followed Langmuir model with a maximum adsorption capacity of 323 mg/g, which was higher than other reported carbonaceous adsorbents. The CIP adsorption was thermodynamically favourable on graphene and primarily occurred through π − π interaction, according to the FTIR spectroscopy.

Year: 2024

description: In this paper, the development of a novel high intensity solar simulator for testing a solar/electric hybrid reactor is described. To simulate the solar energy, an array of seven, 6000 W metal halide lamp/reflector modules, were arranged in a circular pattern. The metal halide lamp with its longer arc has a luminous flux range of 380,000 lm to 600,000 lm and an efficacy of 95 to 100 Lm/W, making the metal halide lamp more efficient in converting electrical power to light in this size range compared to Xenon lamp. In addition, metal halide operates at much lower pressures and have a protective encasing outer bulb for added protection. The arc source of the metal halide lamp and the lamp/reflector were modeled through ray tracing modeling using FRED optical software.

Deep ecology, the radical enlightenment, and ecological civilization
Creators: name: Gare, Arran
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: With the early success of the deep ecology movement in attracting adherents and with the increasing threat of a global ecological catastrophe, one would have expected this movement to have triumphed. We should be in the process of radically transforming society to create a harmonious relationship between humans and the rest of nature. Instead, deep ecology has been marginalized. What has triumphed instead is an alliance of managerialism, transnational corporations and neo-liberalism committed to replacing communities with markets and transforming every facet of nature and society into means for increasing profitability and GDP. This outcome is explained here by the failure of deep ecologists to understand the ideological, political and economic forces driving ecological destruction, and thereby what is required to overcome these. To regain the initiative, it is argued, it will be necessary to recover the whole project of the Radical Enlightenment upholding the Renaissance quest for liberty that was subverted by the scientific materialism and possessive individualism of the Moderate Enlightenment. Not only will it be necessary to transform science to develop a comprehensive alternative conception of nature and humanity and its destiny, it will be necessary to revive and develop the institutions of the Radical Enlightenment to subordinate markets to democratically organized communities at multiple levels, as communities of communities committed to augmenting the life of these communities, including the life of ecological communities. Doing so will involve reformulating the grand narrative of emancipation as a dialogic, polyphonic grand narrative to orient individuals, organizations and nations to create a global ecological civilization.
A preliminary investigation of student collaboration to create resources that motivate the relevance of mathematics to first year engineers

description: Many engineering students don't see the relevance in their mathematical studies in the first year of their degree. This lack of understanding of the importance of mathematics often leads to a loss of interest and disengagement with mathematical studies early on. It may also result in the need to reteach first year mathematical concepts in later engineering subjects as the students did not acquire the skills from their mathematics subjects.
Executive remuneration, financial crisis and 'say on pay' rule
Creators: name: Azim, Mohammad
name: Ahmmod, S M Miraj
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Among the alternatives to reduce agency conflict, executive remuneration has commonly been perceived as the best possible solution. Financial meltdown is commonly attributed to the large portion of remuneration rewarded to the executives. As a response, ‘say on pay' rule, introduced in 2011which provides shareholders right to vote for or against executives remuneration package. Proponents of this new rule argue that reforms will fortify the association between the shareholders and the executives of the board, will ensure that board members execute fiduciary duty placed upon them. However, the critics think this new rule will be unsuccessful in monitor directors' remuneration, and contemplate it to be backward-looking rather than forward-looking. Despite the importance of these issues, contextual analyses of executives' remuneration and company performance in the Australian context are still limited. This paper, using sample from top 200 Australian listed companies, aims to study the relationship between executive remuneration and companies' performance during the financial crisis in 2006- 2009. Methodology of this research is based on two approaches: firstly, we investigate the pay-for-performance relationship during the global financial crisis; secondly, identify cause and effects relationships through lead and lag analysis. Overall, this research concludes that Australia's reward system is quite effective and reflects market based performance, specially in respect to Earnings per Share and Dividend Yield. Therefore, the introduction of ‘say on pay' rule is appropriate in Australian context.
The role of slavery in design education
Creators: name: Strachan, Mark
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Traditional undergraduate design briefs frequently remain within familiar boundaries, theoretically framed for the purpose of teaching particular design themes, techniques and processes within discipline silos and their practices. Through introducing significant and challenging topics, valuable learning contexts can be generated using systems and service design pedagogies. This paper describes an ongoing community engagement project, working with Slavery Links, an Australian non-for-profit organization, to address modern day slavery systems and their relevance in design education futures. The topic of slavery was adopted in the undergraduate interdisciplinary Design Services and Systems studio at Swinburne University. Slavery is an unusual subject in Australian design education as it is typically associated with the 19th Century slave trade and its abolition. However, slavery persists to this day and, as Australians, our consumption often unwittingly encourages it in the Asia Pacific region. By applying service design and strategic systems approaches heightens students' awareness of design's potential and its application to complex problems, which are both unfamiliar and seemingly overwhelming. By providing frameworks for understanding, the role of design is seen in a broader context and through applying systems thinking and service design methodologies students are able to re-orientate their own perspective and insights. This project enables students to realise how their disciplines can embrace and contribute to both behavioral and social change, to appreciate the ethics of design, and to understand their wider responsibilities as future design practitioners. This was evidenced through student reflections and the motivation of some to engage independently with Slavery Links.

description: This paper provides observations made after two years of facilitating Pod Tours (audio excursions) as an experiential module that contextualises theoretical components of an online design cultural awareness subject taught to students at the School of Design, Swinburne University of Technology. The idea to introduce audio tours into the delivery mix was based on two factors, firstly, a commitment to advance online delivery modes and secondly as an alternative 'tour leader' when tutors could not attend one of the scheduled excursions. This paper will begin with a brief overview of the unit and the excursion module; next the compare and contrast of the values and pitfalls of a tutor-led excursion and an unsupervised PodTour, followed by a case study of the latest 2014 PodTour inclusive of student feedback. Finally, consideration is given to the scope of the PodTour and how it could be incorporated as a learning tool across a diverse range of disciplines.

description: Farmers in the semi-arid regions grow drought tolerant maize varieties and practice maize-legume intercropping. A study was conducted in Machakos, Mwea and Waruhiu in 2008 short rains and 2009 long rains to determine the performance of maize varieties currently grown in semi-arid regions and their compatibility with beans. Sixteen maize varieties were grown as sole crops or intercropped with beans. The experiments were laid out in randomized complete block design with split plot arrangement and replicated three times. Maize variety and maize plus beans intercrop system were assigned to main and sub-plots, respectively. Using land equivalent ratio (LER) and monetary advantage (MA) indices, productivity of intercropping was evaluated. Results indicated that varieties KCB, Katumani, DHO 1, DHO 2, DK 8031 and Duma 43 were suitable for Mwea and Waruhiu. They tolerated or escaped drought by maturing early. Further, these varieties were compatible with beans in an intercrop system. However, bean yield was significantly affected by maize component in intercrop system and declines of 52% to 59% were observed. Despite the yield reduction of beans in intercropping, this system was shown to be economically viable according to LER and MA indices. All maize varieties failed to produce a crop in Machakos in two seasons. Increased food production in semi-arid areas requires adoption of drought escaping and tolerant varieties and maize-bean intercropping systems. However, areas with severe droughts like Machakos and adjoining regions of south-eastern Kenya require alternative maize varieties or crop species that are more drought tolerant than those currently recommended.

Toward new therapeutic mechanisms in bipolar disorder: Analog investigation of self-compassion and nonattachment to self

description: There is growing interest in psychological processes that might be targeted in treatments for bipolar disorder (BD). One such process is a vulnerability at the level of self-concept, characterized by presence of, and fluctuations between positive and negative self-concept. The aim of the present study was to advance this literature by investigating the role of two emerging meta-cognitive processes – self-compassion and nonattachment to self – which have potential to therapeutically modulate this unstable self-concept in BD. Using an analog design, it was hypothesized that both variables would mediate the relationship between bipolar tendencies and psychological distress in a general population sample. Participants (N = 372 Australian university students) completed self-report measures of manic and depressive tendencies, selfcompassion, nonattachment to self and psychological distress. To investigate the specificity of the two hypothesized mediators, a better-researched psychological variable – rumination – was also included in mediation analyses. Bivariate analyses found tendencies toward mania and depression to be associated with diminished self-compassion and nonattachment to self, while both psychological processes were negatively associated with psychological distress. Mediation analyses showed, as expected, self-compassion and nonattachment to self mediated the relationship between bipolar tendencies and psychological distress after controlling for the effects of rumination. The present findings add incrementally to this literature by demonstrating that two meta-cognitive processes – self-compassion and nonattachment to self – act as mediators, and may be modifiable mechanisms linking bipolar vulnerability to negative mood outcomes. Future research should tackle longstanding conceptual issues in this domain, including the relationship between contents of self-concept (an established focus of BD research) and the person’s meta-cognitive approach to their self-concept (the focus here).
The pirate imaginary and the potential of the authorial pirate
Creators: name: Meese, James
Publisher: name: Swinburne

description: The figure of the pirate and acts of piracy themselves are most frequently defined by their opposition and exception to the legal framework of copyright law. However, the term 'pirate', used to describe those who have been seen breaching the such legal framework, does not just evoke images of rows of computer towers in a back room, adjacent to a pile of blank discs ready for commercial reproduction and distribution, or the ubiquitous footage of the youthful and impressionable 'movie downloader' found on the beginning of DVDs. It also carries a deeper cultural resonance, reminding us of bands of renegades, hijacking European ships returning from colonial outposts, or in the contemporary era, of the two most evocative pirate imaginaries which exist co-currently: The machine-gun wielding Somalian pirate---a martyr-rebel and a refugee of globalization---or more humorously, Johnny Depp's, Keith Richards inspired, Captain Jack Sparrow, the debonair star of the successful Walt Disney franchise Pirates of the Caribbean. While Captain Sparrow originally appears as a scheming pirate, in subsequent films he slowly reveals an ethical side, which belies his rough exterior. This character's development becomes even more interesting, considering the franchise owner Walt Disney has exhibited a fierce determination to protect their intellectual property rights from pirates (and also the entirely legal public domain) over the years. The Walt Disney Company seems to refuse the possibility of a piracy, which good-hearted unless that piracy involves Jack Sparrow or another such fictional pirate, and so can contribute to their extensive intellectual property holdings and profits. However, this writer is much more hopeful, and the following chapter will reveal how 'the pirate' has been structured discursively and materially by intellectual property law itself, as well as the interested parties surrounding this discussion, and will go some way to explaining how piracy manages to operate productively through and beyond these constraints.

description: Low soil fertility is one of the main factors for the low productivity of vegetables in Nigeria. The effect of different organic manures on the agronomic performance of Corchorus olitorus was carried out in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) at the Teaching, Commercial and Research Farms of Rufus Giwa Polytechnic, Owo, Ondo State. Four treatments namely: poultry manure (PM) 50kg/20m2, pig dung (PD) 50kg/20m2, cow dung (CD) 50kg/20m2 and control (with no manure) were evaluated and replicated 4 times. Results shows that plant height, stem girth, number of leaves, and leave area index at 2, 4 and 6 weeks after planting (WAP) and yield were significantly influence by the application of organic manures compared to control. C. olitorus responded to the manure application in the following order; PM, PD, CD and plot with no manure amendment (control). The higher major nutrients constituents in PM and PD has influence on the growth and yield of C. olitorus. Therefore, the cultivation of C. olitorus in South West Nigeria could be a profitable enterprise as against popular belief if emphasis is placed on the use of fertilizers from organic sources.
Delving into double degrees: The case of Victorian universities in Australia

description: This pilot study explores how Victorian universities in Australia present information about and design double degrees. Nvivo-aided content analysis of information published on nine university' websites and an audit of various curriculum designs of the double degrees informed the findings of the study. The studies found that overall about 29% of degrees offered through Victorian universities are double degrees. Among the 280 double degrees business or commerce degree program combinations (118 degrees) are the most common. The term 'double degrees' appears to be the most commonly accepted nomenclature of double degrees among the universities. Although they frequently use certain terms such as 'two', 'different', 'years', 'time', 'simultaneously' and 'disciplines' in their double degree descriptions, they tend not to focus on certain other termes such as 'qualification', 'longer' and 'courses'. The study found no exhaustive list of benefits relating to double degrees, although the universities seem to be sending consistent messages about the advantages of concurrently studying double degrees. Nevertheless, the universities have different entry requirements of double degrees, sending confusing signals to the market. Overall, there is a large variation in the number, design and proportion of double undergraduate degrees offered by the universities.
