Support Services

description: The Social Policy Research Centre was commissioned by the Commonwealth Department of Health and Family Services in 1995 to undertake an investigation of the impact of community support services for frail aged people who receive only a small amount of formal assistance from publicly supported agencies. The study was intended to document the outcomes of providing small amounts of basic help with housekeeping tasks amongst a group of frail older clients who wished to remain in their own home. The research relied on a retrospective methodology which enabled a comparison to be made of the outcomes of support for those people with low level service needs who had received assistance from formal community services with a similar group of elderly people who do not receive such assistance.

Economic Insecurity
Creators: name: Osberg, Lars
Publisher: name: UNSW Sydney
Year: 1998

description: Economic insecurity' is rarely discussed in the professional economics literature and has received little emphasis in recent economic policy making in OECD nations. This paper argues that economic insecurity should receive more attention because it affects individual well-being, personal identity and labour market behaviour - and because the welfare state was motivated largely by a desire to decrease insecurity. The paper then examines trends in the economic implications of four sources of economic insecurity: illness, unemployment, 'widowhood' and old age, and discusses the differences between 'economic insecurity' and 'risk', before turning to a discussion of how best to measure economic insecurity.

53rd ANZAAS Congress: SWRC Papers
Creators: name: Jarrah, Jo
Publisher: name: UNSW Sydney
Year: 1983
Subjects: Ageing Populations
Social Welfare
Social Inequalities

description: The 53rd ANZAAS (Australian and New Zealand Association for the Advancement of Science) Congress was held in Perth in May 1983. For the first time, it contained a section on social welfare which was highly successful in terms of the numbers of congress participants attending the sessions, and the degree of interest and enthusiasm with which they responded to the papers presented. Four sessions were given by SWRC staff and the volume of requests for copies of their papers has been so great that we have decided to publish them, in a single volume, as part of our Reports and Proceedings series. Inasmuch as this is possible, each paper is concerned with a discrete component of the social welfare spectrum; redistributive fiscal policies and practices; non-government welfare organisations; ageing and social inequalities; and the economy and social inequalities - and reflects the specific research undertaken by the individual authors. Although there is consequently no obvious, concrete theme connecting them, the papers adopt one of the major themes of the Congress itself, ‘Resources and Responsibility’ through which to address their various concerns. Each advocates that the development of effective social welfare policies requires full and realistic consideration of all relevant factors, including resources, assumptions about and delegations of responsibilities, and the implications of the policies themselves. Each stresses the importance of analysis of particular aspects of social welfare taking place in the broadest possible social, political and economic contexts.

The prostyle plan in Greek architecture : the eighth through the fifth centuries B.C.

Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: 120103 Architectural History and Theory
subject: FOS: Civil engineering

description: The prostyle plan developed on the Greek mainland in the eighth century B.C.; by the seventh century it can be tied to the Doric style of architecture. There are two traditions of the prostyle arrangement in the Archaic period. The first is found in the Cyclades and is related to the Ionic order; no predecessors to this tradition have been identified. The second lies in the Doric order, proceeding from the seventh century tradition; examples occur on the mainland and in the Peloponnese, and are most abundant in Sicily and South Italy, where Ionic elements are gradually incorporated into prostyle plans of the Doric order. In the fifth century the earliest prostyle examples are Doric, but the Ionic order appears relatively quickly, perhaps inspired by Archaic examples from the west. In the Classical period, the prostyle plan is quite popular; its versatility and practicality lead to its use in contexts other than in the traditional temple-like structure.

description: The standard Kalman filter cannot handle inequality constraints imposed on the state variables, as state truncation induces a nonlinear and non-Gaussian model. We propose a Rao-Blackwellized particle filter with the optimal importance function for forward filtering and the likelihood function evaluation. The particle filter effectively enforces the state constraints when the Kalman filter violates them. Monte Carlo experiments demonstrate excellent performance of the proposed particle filter with Rao-Blackwellization, in which the Gaussian linear sub-structure is exploited at both the cross-sectional and temporal levels.

description: This article discusses identification problems in the fractionally cointegrated system of Johansen and Johansen and Nielsen. It is shown that several equivalent reparametrizations of the model associated with different fractional integration and cointegration parameters may exist for any choice of the lag-length when the true cointegration rank is known. The properties of these multiple nonidentified models are studied and a necessary and sufficient condition for the identification of the fractional parameters of the system is provided. The condition is named F(d). This is a generalization of the well-known I(1) condition to the fractional case. Imposing a proper restriction on the fractional integration parameter, d, is sufficient to guarantee identification of all model parameters and the validity of the F(d) condition. The article also illustrates the indeterminacy between the cointegration rank and the lag-length. It is also proved that the model with rank zero and k lags may be an equivalent reparameterization of the model with full rank and k − 1 lags. This precludes the possibility to test for the cointegration rank unless a proper restriction on the fractional integration parameter is imposed.

description: In recent decades, the rapid growth of internet traffic, particularly driven by high-definition images/videos has highlighted the critical need for effective image compression to reduce bit rates and enable efficient data transmission. Learned lossy image compression (LIC), which uses end-to-end deep neural networks, has emerged as a highly promising method, even outperforming traditional methods such as the intra-coding of the versatile video coding (VVC) standard. This thesis contributes to the field of LIC in two ways. First, we present a theoretical bound-guided knowledge distillation technique, which utilizes estimated bound information rate-distortion (R-D) functions to guide the training of LIC models. Implemented with a modified hierarchical variational autoencoder (VAE), this method demonstrates superior rate-distortion performance with reduced computational complexity. Next, we introduce a token mixer neural architecture, referred to as contextual clustering, which serves as an alternative to conventional convolutional layers or self-attention mechanisms in transformer architectures. Contextual clustering groups pixels based on their cosine similarity and uses linear layers to aggregate features within each cluster. By integrating with current LIC methods, we not only improve coding performance but also reduce computational load.

description: Rapid and accurate determination of hydrogen peroxide is necessary in biochemistry and environmental science. In this paper, a sensitive hydrogen peroxide electrochemical sensor was developed by cyclic voltammetry deposition of polyaniline–copper nanocomposite film on a glassy carbon electrode. The synthesized polyaniline/Cu composites were characterized by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. With a typical working potential of 0.4 V (versus Ag/AgCl) and a pH value of 6.0, the prepared electrochemical sensor achieved linear range of 1.0–500 µM for hydrogen peroxide detection. A relative standard deviation of 4.9% for n = 7 and 10.0 µM of H2O2 and a limit of detection of 0.33 µM at a signal-to-noise ratio = 3 were observed. The sensor was successfully used for the analysis of tap water, and a spiked recovery of 93.0 ± 2.1% was obtained, further confirming the sensor’s accuracy and feasibility.
Reviewing the Role and Structure of Pensions in their National Context
Creators: name: Saunders, Peter
Publisher: name: UNSW Sydney
Year: 2003

description: This paper reviews recent developments in pensions policy in a range of countries and identifies some of the main forces driving the policy reform agenda. The paper brings a new perspective to some familiar issues, drawing specifically on the research and policy experience of Australia, China and the United States. Its basic message is that to fully understand the forces influencing national pension systems, it is necessary to understand the forces and expectations that are specific to each country. Three main themes are addressed: demographic change; financing of pensions; and the role of politics. It is argued that all three must be included within any analysis of pension reform and that each is important - despite the emphasis given recently to the first issue. Different approaches to pension reform in different countries reflect the values and culture of each country and once these become embedded in a pension scheme, they take on their own momentum. This point is illustrated with examples drawn from Australia and China, both of which have unique pension systems compared with many other countries. The evidence discussed relates to the role of means testing and the balance between formal and informal means of support in old age. In all countries, pension reform options must address demographic changes and be financially sound, but they must also be politically sustainable. There are challenges arising from all three factors, but to portray these as a 'crisis' for prevailing pension systems does little to aid the search for sensible responses.

High-Fidelity Fluid-Structure Interaction Simulations of Perforated Elastic Vortex Generators

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2025
Subjects: subject: Fluid Dynamics (physics.flu-dyn)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: This study conducts a high-fidelity two-way coupled fluid-structure interaction simulations, focusing on a novel perforated elastic vortex generator that is wall-mounted in an open channel with an incoming flow. The response of a perforated elastic vortex generator is investigated across a wide range of dimensionless parameters including dimensionless rigidity, mass ratios, Reynolds numbers, and porosity levels. Additional simulations for non-perforated elastic vortex generator are conducted for comparison and validation against available data. The findings demonstrate that a perforated elastic vortex generator can exhibit static configurations, lodging configurations, and vortex-induced vibration modes, depending on the dimensionless parameters. These configurations are similar to those observed for non-perforated elastic vortex generators, though the response values differ due to changes in the mechanical properties of the elastic vortex generator and the fluid loads acting on it as a result of perforation. An analysis of the perforated elastic vortex generator's natural frequencies shows that vortex-induced vibrations are triggered by the lock-in phenomenon associated with the second natural frequency of the vortex generator. Additionally, local flow dynamics are also studied by investigating vortical structures and velocity fields.

description: We propose a heterogeneous time-varying panel data model with a latent group structure that allows the coefficients to vary over both individuals and time. We assume that the coefficients change smoothly over time and form different unobserved groups. When treated as smooth functions of time, the individual functional coefficients are heterogeneous across groups but homogeneous within a group. We propose a penalized-sieve-estimation-based classifier-Lasso (C-Lasso) procedure to identify the individuals’ membership and to estimate the group-specific functional coefficients in a single step. The classification exhibits the desirable property of uniform consistency. The C-Lasso estimators and their post-Lasso versions achieve the oracle property so that the group-specific functional coefficients can be estimated as well as if the individuals’ membership were known. Several extensions are discussed. Simulations demonstrate excellent finite sample performance of the approach in both classification and estimation. We apply our method to study the heterogeneous trending behavior of GDP per capita across 91 countries for the period 1960–2012 and find four latent groups.
Feminism and the struggle over meaning

description: In this paper I take issue with the hegemony of one prevalent definition of feminism, in terms of “equality”/“difference”, and suggest that there is another account which rarely appears in the academic feminist literature, namely, feminism as the struggle against male domination. I argue that the feminist project since the late 1960s has crucially revolved around a critique of sexuality as central to women’s oppression, a critique which focused in large measure on pornography as the most extreme and blatant expression of what sexuality means in male supremacist terms. I point out that this radical feminist critique has from the beginning been under siege by a libertarianism which will brook no criticism of sexuality at all, and that, as a consequence, the links between sexuality and male domination have not been made. I suggest that the linking term is the penis and its significance as the symbol of “human” status within the social order of male supremacy.

description: Objectives: Every year, about 1.24 million people are killed in traffic crashes worldwide and more than 22% of these deaths are pedestrians. Therefore, pedestrian safety has become a significant traffic safety issue worldwide. In order to develop effective and targeted safety programs, the location- and time-specific influences on vehicle–pedestrian crashes must be assessed. The main purpose of this research is to explore the influence of pedestrian age and gender on the temporal and spatial distribution of vehicle–pedestrian crashes to identify the hotspots and hot times. Methods: Data for all vehicle–pedestrian crashes on public roadways in the Melbourne metropolitan area from 2004 to 2013 are used in this research. Spatial autocorrelation is applied in examining the vehicle–pedestrian crashes in geographic information systems (GIS) to identify any dependency between time and location of these crashes. Spider plots and kernel density estimation (KDE) are then used to determine the temporal and spatial patterns of vehicle–pedestrian crashes for different age groups and genders. Results: Temporal analysis shows that pedestrian age has a significant influence on the temporal distribution of vehicle–pedestrian crashes. Furthermore, men and women have different crash patterns. In addition, results of the spatial analysis shows that areas with high risk of vehicle–pedestrian crashes can vary during different times of the day for different age groups and genders. For example, for those between ages 18 and 65, most vehicle–pedestrian crashes occur in the central business district (CBD) during the day, but between 7:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m., crashes among this age group occur mostly around hotels, clubs, and bars. Conclusions: This research reveals that temporal and spatial distributions of vehicle–pedestrian crashes vary for different pedestrian age groups and genders. Therefore, specific safety measures should be in place during high crash times at different locations for different age groups and genders to increase the effectiveness of the countermeasures in preventing and reducing vehicle–pedestrian crashes.

Modification of a compressive Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar for dynamic friction characterization
Creators: name: Shah, Neel
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2023

description: Friction is defined as the resistive force that occurs between two bodies when in motion. The frictional coefficient is used to define a relationship between this resistive force and normal force and is determined experimentally. Derivation of these friction coefficients is traditionally done quasi-statically; at higher operational velocities and normal forces, there is a lack of available testing solutions. A Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar has been used extensively to study the dynamic response of materials between 100 s-1 to 10,000 s-1 in compression, tension and, more recently, torsion. Modifying a compressive Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar provides an opportunity to convert the pressure loading mechanism into a tangential shear load. The presented thesis looks at converting the existing Rutgers Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar apparatus to an experimental method to gather frictional data. The apparatus is designed to be retrofitted onto the already existing Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar and operates on two sources of data: normal force and strain. To gather these streams of data, additional instrumentation is added. The frictional Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar is designed to ensure that accurate and functional data can be produced. This facility serves as a preliminary design iteration for determining dynamic frictional coefficients at Rutgers University. The design theoretically enables testing at normal forces up to 7 kN and velocities up to 27 m/s. Testing on the setup has shown a kinetic frictional coefficient of 0.175 between smooth steel on aluminum at an impact velocity of 8 m/s. A high-speed camera is used to validate sliding motion between speciemens. To monitor stress wave propagation in the bar, a finite element simulation is conducted; the simulation confirms uniaxial wave propagation. Initial testing showed the coefficient to be relatively independent of velocity and normal force.

description: An MBBR and CW combo bio-reactor (MBCW) was designed as a novel hybrid process for simultaneous organic, nitrogen and phosphate removal through the long-term operation. The effect of the internal recycling rate (IRR), hydraulic retention time (HRT) and chemical oxygen demand/total nitrogen (C/N) ratio were all discussed, and the recommended values were 5:1, 12 h and >6, respectively. A higher C/N ratio was a key factor for achieving a higher TN removal. The mixed biocarrier system was realized by inoculating porous polymer carriers (PPC) and cylindrical polyethylene carriers (CPC) and achieving a higher organic biodegradation and nitrification rate compared to a single carrier system. Microorganism activities and plants’ uptake or utilization both contributed to the nutrient removal in a constructed wetland. High-throughput sequencing results revealed an abundant microbial diversity and a distinct microbial distribution in the whole system where Flavobacterium (14.2%), Acinetobacter (12.87%) and Rhodobacter (10.83%) dominated on PPC, Terrimonas (8.88%), Reyranella (6.61%) and Rubinisphaera (5.63%) dominated on CPC, Comamonas (4.18%), Gemmobacter (4.02%) and Hydrogenophaga (3.97%) dominated on CWs, as well as Citrobacter (53.13%) on suspended floc.

Disability, Poverty and Living Standards: Reviewing Evidence and Policies
Creators: name: Saunders, Peter
Publisher: name: UNSW Sydney
Year: 2005

description: Despite its policy significance, the impact of disability has not featured prominently in the Australian empirical literature on household incomes and living standards. Among the many reasons for this deficiency is a lack of information on disability status in many of the data collections used to examine aspects of living standards, a lack of research on how to capture the impact of disability when adjusting for variations in need, and the problems of allowing for the variability in disability that exists among the population. Another major factor has been the attention devoted to the quality and coverage of services rather than the adequacy of income for people with disabilities. A consequence of these limitations has been that the role and impact of disability has been largely ignored in the Australian living standards literature. After providing a brief review of the Australian literature in the field, this paper then examines how disability is associated with the standard of living and its determinants (including labour force participation and the receipt of state transfers) using a range of available data. Attention focuses on how the different levels of restrictions associated with disability (to the extent possible given existing survey data) are associated with such variables as family income, income poverty, expressed poverty, financial stress/deprivation, and a range of indicators of social exclusion. The paper concludes with some broad reflections on the implications of the results and other recent trends for reform of the Australian disability support pension.

Community Attitudes Towards Unemployment, Activity Testing and Mutual Obligation
Creators: name: Eardley, Tony

Publisher: name: UNSW Sydney
Year: 2000

description: Those elements of activity testing described as ‘mutual obligation’ are becoming increasingly important in social security policy towards unemployed people. In order to provide more information about public attitudes to this policy, the SPRC included a set of questions in its survey on Coping with Economic and Social Change, carried out in 1999. The survey found broad support for the application of many, though not all, aspects of mutual obligation principles to young unemployed people and, to a lesser extent, to the long-term unemployed. When applied to other groups, however, especially older unemployed people, those with disabilities and those with parental responsibilities, this support was considerably more qualified. Respondents made clear distinctions in how they viewed the requirements appropriate for different groups.

Towards an Understanding of Commonwealth Social Expenditure Trends
Creators: name: Saunders, Peter
Publisher: name: UNSW Sydney
Year: 1989
Subjects: Social Expenditure
Australia
Commonwealth Government

description: This paper provides a detailed summary and assessment of the analysis of trends in Commonwealth budget social and welfare programs recently undertaken by the Commonwealth Department of Finance in its Report on the Forward Estimates of Budget Outlays, 1989-90 to 1991-92. The expenditure decomposition method used in Chapter Five of that report, initially developed in the mid-seventies at the DECD, is applied to analyse the growth in expenditure on nineteen social programs since 1968-69 and their forward estimates to 1991-92. The paper outlines the framework used in public expenditure decompositions and discusses its strengths and limitations. Particular attention focuses on the importance of the variables used in the exercise and how these are measured in practice. Broad results for all nineteen social programs are then presented and discussed. A more detailed analysis of the decompositions of expenditure in three areas; Nursing Homes, the Age Pension and Assistance to Families is then undertaken to provide an illustration of the usefulness of and qualifications that apply to expenditure decomposition analysis.

Conclusions: why is OMC education an unlikely survivor?
description: The introduction of the OMC brought a new template for organising EU governance and EU social and economic policy coordination. This Article looks into how the OMC template for organising governance became practice and developed over time in the education sector. Soft governance under the label OMC has had considerable impact on the approach to common decision-making in EU education policy. The OMC template enabled European level policy makers to enter into issues that had largely been off limits to the EU. The actors, especially the Directorate General Education and Culture (DG EAC), used the OMC format to work around the considerable national sensitivity of education. This way of organising governance was normalised as an appropriate approach to cooperation. The substantive effects on Member States' policy and policy output are, on the other hand, limited. Hence, the functional effectiveness cannot explain the survival of the OMC education. Yet, the soft coordination organised under the heading "Education and Training 2010/2020" survived because the practices incrementally gained legitimacy and became routine. The organisation of governance based on the OMC also became the platform upon which the sector could defend and profile its contribution to European integration. Despite the fact that the OMC label was no longer considered a fashionable and effective organisational template on the EU governance scene, the education sector upheld these governance arrangements.

description: Definir la ‘Ciencia de la Psicología’ no es definir al ‘psicólogo’. Las personas del común creen que “psicología es lo que hace el psicólogo” y la percepción más cercana que se tiene del mismo es la de un profesional que “da consejos”. Esto es evidente en las Facultades de Psicología entre la generalidad los aspirantes y estudiantes admitidos, quienes consideran que son buenos prospectos por la simple razón de que “dan buenos consejos”; visión romántica de la psicología que soterradamente ha limitado al estudiante de psicología como prospecto, al psicólogo como científico y a la psicología como ciencia, restringiendo así su progreso.
