Gendered pathways to desistance: the experiences of women pre-, during and post-incarceration in Victoria
Creators: name: Hale, Rachel Yvonne Jessie

description: Explanations of and reactions to crime, both in their theoretical and policy applications, largely and often uncritically adopt the dominant androcentric discourse while failing to pay attention to the experiences of women who commit offences. The majority of research that has been conducted on women ex-prisoners tends to focus on their post-release experiences. Such a focus may seem rather obvious, but fails to take into account the lived experiences of the women before and during their incarceration, experiences that are likely to have a significant impact on the women’s potential and ability to desist post-release. Such a narrow focus has serious implications for both theory and practice, in that many post-release support programs and policy frameworks, based on narrow and androcentric theory, fail to provide adequate and appropriate support for women. Hence it is important to direct the light onto women’s individual experiences, through well-informed, qualitative research, and their pathways into and out of the prison system as a complete journey, instead of discrete and siloed events. This research explores the reflective narratives of eight women and their experiences pre-, during and post-incarceration in Victoria, Australia. Semi-structured interviews with the women, as well as with support workers, explored the social, economic and familial issues that encircled the women’s lives, from childhood to post-release. These experiences represent an alternative standpoint to that which is currently available in the desistance literature, establishing that women’s unique experiences are of importance when conceptualising desistance pathways in both theory and practice. In particular, this research examines the ways in which desistance is engaged with and experienced by women who occupy liminal spaces post-release, characterised by social exclusion, poverty, drug use, mental illness, victimisation, homelessness and unemployment. The journey from prison back to these spaces of exclusion is captured in this thesis by the term ‘reintegration into exclusion’. This work positions women’s voices at the forefront of the desistance discussion to consider whether viable pathways to desistance are accessible for women returning to the community post-release, and, importantly, whether these pathways are prioritised by women themselves, above the pursuit of a ‘better life’ – a life that may still involve offending.

Foreigners, refugees or infiltrators? The discourse on Indian nationalisms and Bangladeshi migrants in the states of Assam, West Bengal and Deli in India

description: This dissertation is a study of the current state of nationalist imagination in three states in India: Assam, West Bengal and Delhi. It examines the perceptions of the key political parties and civil society members about the presence of Bangladeshi migrants in these three states. India since Independence has gone through a number of competing nationalist thoughts: secular, Hindutva and ethnic. The existence of these nationalisms denotes that although India is a modern nation-state, its project of attaining a singular nationalism is still ongoing and incomplete. The presence of Bangladeshi migrants in Assam, West Bengal and Delhi has been a persistent election platform of sectarian Hindu nationalists and ethnic Assamese nationalists. How these various nationalisms position the Bangladeshi migrants, and therefore what these perceptions and discourses indicate about the current nationalisms, is the primary enquiry of this research. This study is an ethnographic record and a personal account that uses in-depth interviews of the key political parties and civil society representatives from the media, academia, think tanks and human rights organisations. I have three arguments for the three states. For Assam, I argue that the pre-Independence Bengali-speaking migrants and later Bangladeshi migrants were viewed by the Assamese as ‘threatening Others’ for their ethnicity, Bengaliness. For West Bengal, I argue that it is because of Bengaliness and Marxist ideology, amongst other factors, Bangladeshi migrants have never been a problem or perceived as the ‘Other’ by the Bengalis in West Bengal. The situation in Delhi is more complex, because Delhi is not only a state; it is also the capital of India. Thus the members there representing the key political parties and civil society provide a state as well as a national view. For Delhi, I argue that the Bangladeshi migrants were targeted partly for their Muslimness, and partly because they were in between the vote-bank politics of the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and its main rival, the Indian National Congress (INC). I analyse the perceptions of the political and civil society members derived from interviews against the backdrop of the relevant theories of nationalism. Finally, I discuss the current state of nationalisms in the three states and in India.

description: The determination of the resolution of cosmological N-body simulations, i.e., the range of scales in which quantities measured in them represent accurately the continuum limit, is an important open question. We address it here using scale-free models, for which self-similarity provides a powerful tool to control resolution. Such models also provide a robust testing ground for the so-called stable clustering approximation, which gives simple predictions for them. Studying large N-body simulations of such models with different force smoothing, we find that these two issues are in fact very closely related: our conclusion is that the accuracy of two point statistics in the non-linear regime starts to degrade strongly around the scale at which their behaviour deviates from that predicted by the stable clustering hypothesis. Physically the association of the two scales is in fact simple to understand: stable clustering fails to be a good approximation when there are strong interactions of structures (in particular merging) and it is precisely such non-linear processes which are sensitive to fluctuations at the smaller scales affected by discretisation. Resolution may be further degraded if the short distance gravitational smoothing scale is larger than the scale to which stable clustering can propagate. We examine in detail the very different conclusions of studies by Smith et al. (2003) and Widrow et al. (2009} and find that the strong deviations from stable clustering reported by these works are the results of over-optimistic assumptions about scales resolved accurately by the measured power spectra, and the reliance on Fourier space analysis. We emphasise the much poorer resolution obtained with the power spectrum compared to the two point correlation function..

Das Triple A Verfahren (AmbientAminAbsorption) - Optimierte Gaswäsche für einen skalierbaren, an die Rohgasinfrastruktur angepassten Ausbau der Biomethanproduktion

description: Das Biogas kann nicht nur zur Erzeugung von Strom und Wärme, sondern auch als Treibstoff für Fahrzeuge verwendet werden („Green CNG“). Nach der Aufbereitung besitzt das so genannte Biomethan die gleiche Qualität wie konventionelles Erdgas. Der Einsatz von Biomethan an Tankstelle ist nicht nur gut für die Umwelt, sondern auch wirtschaftlich interessant. Denn als nachhaltiger Kraftstoff wird Biomethan steuerlich begünstigt. Die Erzeugungsstruktur von Rohbiogas in Deutschland ist eng an die Struktur der Landwirtschaft gekoppelt. Sie ist deshalb geprägt von kleineren Biogasanlagen (BGA), die in einer Leistungsklasse >250 m³ i.N. Methan/h liegen. Speziell in diesem Segment sind die Rohgasgestehungskosten sehr hoch, könnten aber durch hohe spezifische Minderung von Treibhausgas (THG)-Emissionen kompensiert werden. Ähnliche Skaleneffekte gibt es auch für die Kosten gängiger Aufbereitungstechnologien, die für größere Anlagen spezifisch niedriger sind. Würden sich die Aufbereitungskosten auf einem ähnlichen Niveau wie die von größeren Anlagen etablieren, erhöhen sich Konzeptvarianten und Konkurrenzfähigkeit kleinerer Biogasanlagen. Um eine kostengünstige Bereitstellung von Biomethan auch in kleineren Biogasanlagen in der Klasse >250 m³i.N.CH4/h zu ermöglichen und so das wirtschaftliche Potential von Biomethan mit hoher Treibhausgas (THG-)minderung zu heben, wird im Zuge des Projektes Triple A eine neuartige und robuste Technologie zur Gasaufbereitung entwickelt, die dabei Aminosäuren (Amin) unter Umgebungsbedingungen (Ambient) für eine chemische Gaswäsche (Absorption) nutzt. Die Vorteile des Konzeptes sind: Das verwendete Waschmittel soll sich gängigen Substraten wie Silagen gewinnen lassen und kann nach Verbrauch im Fermenter wiederverwertet werden. Der Prozessablauf bei Umgebungsbedingungen ermöglicht geringen Energiebedarf. Durch den gut skalierbaren Ausbau ergeben sich ein hohes Kostensenkungs- und Umsetzungspotential. Im Poster soll die Problemstellung und das Konzept des Triple-A-Verfahrens sowie deren Bedeutung für den Mobilitätsmarkt vorgestellt werden. Darüber hinaus werden die Ergebnisse der ersten Versuche in der Inbetriebnahmephase einer kontinuierlich arbeitenden Anlage im Labormaßstab gezeigt und Grundlage für weitere Optimierungsmöglichkeiten geboten. In einem weiteren Schritt soll eine Pilotanlage anhand der Ergebnisse von Laborversuchen im Technikumsmaßstab ausgelegt und aufgebaut werden.

description: Quantum mechanics is a successful theory that describes the behavior of photons, electrons, and other atomic- and molecular-scale objects. However, it is far from being well understood. In this paper, a new theory - knot physics for entangled vortex-membranes is developed to explore the underline physics of quantum mechanics. From point view of information, three dimensional quantum Dirac model is developed to effectively describe the fluctuations of local deformation of vortex-membranes: The elementary excitations are knots with information unit; The physics quality to describe local deformation is knot density that is defined by the density of zeros between two projected vortex-membranes; The Biot-Savart equation for Kelvin waves becomes Schrodinger equation for probability waves of knots; the classical functions for perturbative Kelvin waves become wave functions for knots; The probability of quantum mechanics comes from dynamic projection for inner observers owing to "fast clock" effect; The angular frequency for leapfrogging motion plays the role of the mass of knots; etc. This work would help people to understand the mystery of quantum mechanics.

The Javanese in transition: a postcolonial study of the priyayi class in the works of an Indonesian author, Umar Kayam
Creators: name: Sarwoto, Paulus
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: The postcolonial study of Indonesian literature is still very limited. Indonesia’s distinctive history has contributed to the scarcity of writers examining the colonial legacy through literary representation. In fact critical reflection on the colonial legacy has never been a major theme in Indonesian literature, theory and criticism. Among the few vernacular writers whose stories deal with the legacy of colonialism is Umar Kayam, yet he is almost never discussed in a postcolonial perspective. Kayam’s fictions, his Manhattan stories and priyayi novels and stories, are the primary texts of this research. The thesis centres on the postcolonial reading of the constellation of priyayi figurations in the four major phases of Indonesian history: the early twentieth century; 1942 – 1949 (independence and revolution); 1965 (Gestapu); and 1966-1998 (the New Order). Kayam portrays the priyayi’s strategy in negotiating social change in each historical moment. The figuration of priyayi characters in facing social change reflects the variation between those who adhere to the concept of the compassionate priyayi and those who manipulate values for personal glory. Throughout the colonial and post-independence periods, the compassionate priyayi find themselves at the dead end of their struggle and hence become marginalized, whereas the latter gain material prosperity and a strong political position. My analysis of the failure of the priyayi class as a postcolonial transformative agent in Kayam’s stories allows the idea of the third space in postcolonial community to be re-imagined; instead of being, as commonly viewed, as a positive transformation, it becomes an instance of a postcolonial failure to establish a just state. Kayam’s solution for the failure of the priyayi class is to give primacy to individuality, supplanting class identity. To this end the stories offer a typically universal humanist thesis, i.e. that priyayi-hood is a universal trait beyond the limitations of race and nationality and that a chauvinist view of traditional and tribal identity is prone to manipulation by other hegemonic forces in postcolonial Indonesia.
The effect of clarifying values on enhancement of self-concept clarity
Creators: name: Souher, Mohamad
Publisher: name: La Trobe

description: Self-Concept clarity (i.e., the clarity and consistency of self-beliefs) defines a key component of one’s self-view. Low self-concept clarity is associated with poorer self-esteem, mental health, and psychological adjustment. Preliminary research suggests that affirming one’s values bolsters self-concept clarity. In psychotherapy, values clarification is used to help clients find valued life directions and commit to these, however such techniques have not yet been utilised in relation to self-concept clarity enhancement. The purpose of the current research program was to investigate whether experimental enhancement of self-concept clarity (via values) would lead to favourable outcomes to well-being. We hypothesised that affirmation (Study 1) and clarification (Study 2) of values would enhance levels of self-concept clarity and this would lead to more effective coping and improved mood (Study 1), and greater goal achievement, and value congruent behaviour (Study 2). Study 1 was a cross-sectional between-group design which included 125 participants from the general population. Study 2 was a longitudinal between-within group design (with three time-points) which included 65 La Trobe University students. Only in Study 2 did we find that values interventions resulted in beneficial outcomes. Values clarification (an extension of values-affirmation) enhanced self-concept clarity (for those initially lower in this construct) and resulted in positive affective and behavioural outcomes relating to goal achievement, mood, coping, and value congruent living. Values clarification, however, resulted in attenuation of self-concept clarity for those higher in this construct at baseline. Our research indicates that self-concept clarity is an important construct in research and therapeutic contexts, that can be enhanced via values manipulations, and may be of the greatest benefit to those with unclear and inconsistent self-belief structures. The practical VALUES CLARIFICATION AND SCC xii and theoretical implications will be discussed in addition to future directions for the research on self-concept clarity enhancement and its associated outcomes.

Reinscribing home: South Asian diasporic fiction in Australia
Creators: name: Dalal, Sanghamitra
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This thesis examines through the theoretical discourses of diaspora how the icon of home is articulated in selected South Asian diasporic fiction in Australia. In terms of the textual analysis of twenty-three novels and short stories written by eleven South Asian diasporic authors in Australia I argue that the dynamic re-inscription of home, as articulated in the everyday experiences of the fictional characters, travels from the exilic strain of archetypal diaspora to more nuanced explorations of the dialectic of place and displacement. The changing invocations of home are examined against the social, cultural and political milieu of the homeland as well as that of the adopted land, particularly with reference to the changes in Australian immigration policies. The realization of home is also seen to be responsive to phenomena such as globalization and the technological and digital communications revolution. Finally, in this research I propose to use the neologism ‘homespace’, rather than ‘home’ as the fluid notion of ‘homespace’ is more potent in articulating the heterogeneity and complexity of the diasporic perception of home.

description: Gravitational non-linear evolution induces a shift in the position of the baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) peak together with a damping and broadening of its shape that bias and degrades the accuracy with which the position of the peak can be determined. BAO reconstruction is a technique developed to undo part of the effect of non-linearities. We present and analyse a reconstruction method that consists of displacing pixels instead of galaxies and whose implementation is easier than the standard reconstruction method. We show that this method is equivalent to the standard reconstruction technique in the limit where the number of pixels becomes very large. This method is particularly useful in surveys where individual galaxies are not resolved, as in 21cm intensity mapping observations. We validate this method by reconstructing mock pixelated maps, that we build from the distribution of matter and halos in real- and redshift-space, from a large set of numerical simulations. We find that this method is able to decrease the uncertainty in the BAO peak position by 30-50% over the typical angular resolution scales of 21 cm intensity mapping experiments.

description: We present high-statistics estimates of the isovector charges of the nucleon from four 2+1-flavor ensembles generated using Wilson-clover fermions with stout smearing and tree-level tadpole improved Symanzik gauge action at lattice spacings $a=0.114$ and $0.080$ fm and with $M_π\approx 315$ and 200 MeV. The truncated solver method with bias correction and the coherent source sequential propagator construction are used to cost-effectively achieve $O(10^5)$ measurements on each ensemble. Using these data, the analysis of two-point correlation functions is extended to include four states in the fits and of three-point functions to three states. Control over excited-state contamination in the calculation of the nucleon mass, the mass gaps between excited states, and in the matrix elements is demonstrated by the consistency of estimates using this multistate analysis of the spectral decomposition of the correlation functions and from simulations of the three-point functions at multiple values of the source-sink separation. The results for all three charges, $g_A$, $g_S$ and $g_T$, are in good agreement with calculations done using the clover-on-HISQ lattice formulation with similar values of the lattice parameters.

description: Sea transport and logistical support of the Australian land based forces in Vietnam is acknowledged in recent historical compendiums as the most significant contribution made by the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) to the Australian military commitment in Vietnam. However, previous studies have only paid brief attention to the vital part played by HMAS Sydney and other units of the RAN involved in the logistical support role, and none of these earlier works have undertaken a detailed consideration of the nature and tactical importance of sea transport and logistical support. The perceived absence of enemy threat was the prime factor influencing the Federal Government’s specious decision to exclude from benefits and entitlements, those that served in Sydney, Jeparit and Boonaroo, and the warships that escorted the troop transport into, what could only be described as a war zone. This decision, the thesis shows, was a flawed one, and it can only be concluded that it was made on the basis of inaccurate information. Moreover, while Sydney and her escort were at anchor, not only were they vulnerable to an enemy well versed in unconventional guerrilla warfare, but all who served in these ships were also exposed to highly toxic herbicides used to defoliate the nearby landscape, via the residue of this procedure which flowed into the rivers and streams. Due to the processes used in those times in the production of potable drinking water, the dioxins contained in the distillate were enriched making them much more potent and deadly. This dissertation identifies and dispels some of the myths which have developed around the importance of sea transport and logistical support and argues for a new appreciation of the service of the many members of the RAN who participated in this vitally important task.

description: We demonstrate the breakdown of molecular-frame dynamics induced by the uncoupling of molecular rotation from electronic motion in molecular Rydberg states. We observe this non-Born-Oppenheimer regime in the time domain through photoelectron imaging of a coherent molecular Rydberg wave packet in $\textrm{N}_2$. The photoelectron angular distribution shows a radically different time evolution than that of a typical molecular-frame-fixed electron orbital, revealing the uncoupled motion of the electron as it precesses around the $averaged$ anisotropic potential of the rotating ion-core.

Threshold aesthetics : aesthetic argumentation of the atreidaen myth in twentieth-century German literature

description: The threshold presents an image of the human condition in an irreducible form. As a topos and metaphor, it offers dramatists a rhetorical means to reconcile the incongruity and ambivalence of life. This is because the threshold can be used to rediscover, rearticulate and resolve ontological discrepancies that are at the very core of mankind's existential predicaments. The more frequently the aesthetic image of the threshold appears in a process of aesthetic argumentation, the more convincing its power of persuasion over time. As a construct upon which argumentative positions are established, the threshold is developed into an explanatory and didactic tool. Threshold aesthetics examines how cognate images of the threshold present as aesthetic arguments. An interface between the visual and the conceptual, threshold aesthetics not only exposes why threshold images express the underlying arguments of myth and drama, but also how dramatists and critics alike develop their own threshold aesthetic when conceptualising, illustrating and interpreting threshold experiences. This study proposes that the divided and polemic nature of being that underlies the topos of the threshold generally is what defines the problematic of the Atreidae specifically. By attributing the Atreidaen myth's internal coherence, aesthetic argumentative capability and dramatic potential first and foremost to the threshold, this study uses threshold aesthetics to explore the nexus of associations between the Atreidaen myth, its dramatic versions and their historical contexts. By using the Atreidaen myth to explore the relevance and significance of threshold aesthetics, this study offers a new approach to the dramatic structures and meaning of both the Atreidaen stories and their development in the history of ideas and literature. It does so by combining a reception history with an original study of rhetorical argumentation in dramas such as Aeschylus' Oresteia, Sophocles' Electra, Euripides' Atreidaen-based tragedies, Hugo von Hofmannsthal's Elektra, Gerhart Hauptmann's Die Atriden-Tetralogie, lIse Langner's Klytiimnestra and Volker Braun's Iphigenie in Freiheit. Collectively, the interpretations of these dramas present a means to extrapolate from the dialogue between antiquity and modernity an ongoing symbiotic relationship between image and argument. This relationship translates into the threshold aesthetics that emerge in the German-speaking realm during the Viennese fin de siecle, World War II, the allied occupation of Germany and German reunification. Exploring these aesthetics in tum reveals the manifold ways in which the threshold is imbued with meaning and the extent to which that meaning is itself shaped by society and culture.

description: Many actors promoting irrigation technologies in low- and middle-income countries want to ensure that men, women, and different social groups have equal opportunity to participate in and benefit from irrigation but are uncertain how to do so. This tool provides a guide and structured set of questions to assess gender dynamics in irrigation in a specific context. The questions can be used to collect information prior to, during, or after project implementation to inform different strategic approaches of the project, including gender-sensitive marketing and dissemination strategies, design of technologies, risk mitigation approaches, adaptive management, and/or monitoring and evaluation (M&E) activities.

Flaring of Blazars from an Analytical, Time-dependent Model for Combined Synchrotron and Synchrotron Self-Compton Radiative Losses of Multiple Ultrarelativistic Electron Populations

description: We present a fully analytical, time-dependent leptonic one-zone model that describes a simplified radiation process of multiple interacting ultrarelativistic electron populations, accounting for the flaring of GeV blazars. In this model, several mono-energetic, ultrarelativistic electron populations are successively and instantaneously injected into the emission region, i.e., a magnetized plasmoid propagating along the blazar jet, and subjected to linear, time-independent synchrotron radiative losses, which are caused by a constant magnetic field, and nonlinear, time-dependent synchrotron self-Compton radiative losses in the Thomson limit. Considering a general multiple-injection scenario is, from a physical point of view, more realistic than the usual single-injection scenario invoked in common blazar models, as blazar jets may extend over tens of kiloparsecs and, thus, most likely pick up several particle populations from intermediate clouds. We analytically compute the electron number density by solving a kinetic equation using Laplace transformations and the method of matched asymptotic expansions. Moreover, we explicitly calculate the optically thin synchrotron intensity, the synchrotron self-Compton intensity in the Thomson limit, as well as the associated total fluences. In order to mimic injections of finite duration times and radiative transport, we model flares by sequences of these instantaneous injections, suitably distributed over the entire emission region. Finally, we present a parameter study for the total synchrotron and synchrotron self-Compton fluence spectral energy distributions for a generic three-injection scenario, varying the magnetic field strength, the Doppler factor, and the initial electron energy of the first injection in realistic parameter domains, demonstrating that our model can reproduce the typical broad-band behavior seen in observational data.

Cultural approaches towards ageing: trends in the Melbourne Jewish community

description: The historical time and place in which older people were born and through which they lived the formative stages of their lives influence their attitudes, expectations and experience of old age. This thesis studies older people in one ethno-religious community, the Victorian Jewish community. At the 2006 Census, over 80 per cent of older Jewish Victorians were born overseas. The study focuses on the three largest birthplace groups for older Jewish Victorians: Australia, Poland and the former Soviet Union. The main sources for this research project were the Australian Jewish community survey (Gen08) of nearly 6,000 respondents, funded by an Australian Research Council linkage grant, the 2006 Australian Census, focus groups, interviews and participant observation. A multidisciplinary theoretical approach was taken incorporating history, sociology and gerontology. Examining different cultural trends in the three different birthplace groups, the research found diversity in the way older Jewish people from different cultural backgrounds identified with and expressed their Jewishness as measured by the observance of religious rituals, subjective feelings of Jewishness and connectedness to the Jewish community. Differences were also found in the social capital of the three groups, in particular in their social and support networks. The study found that older Jews born in Australia had the strongest expressions of Jewish identity and the strongest social and support networks. This may be explained by their younger age, which means they are more able to be actively and socially involved with their friends, family and community than the older Jews, many of whom were post-war immigrants. Secondly, they may have greater social capital than the older FSU immigrants due to opportunities developed over their lives, lived in Melbourne. This approach to cultural diversity of older people within ethno-religious groups is valuable in policy development and planning for culturally sensitive aged care and support. When considering cultural diversity among older Australians, it is important to include region of birth as well as their ethno-religious identity as part of their cultural context.

description: The classical duality theory of Kantorovich and Kellerer for the classical optimal transport is generalized to an abstract framework and a characterization of the dual elements is provided. This abstract generalization is set in a Banach lattice $\cal{X}$ with a order unit. The primal problem is given as the supremum over a convex subset of the positive unit sphere of the topological dual of $\cal{X}$ and the dual problem is defined on the bi-dual of $\cal{X}$. These results are then applied to several extensions of the classical optimal transport.
