description: The triad of teaching, learning, and evaluation forms the cornerstone of accreditation. Effective teaching empowers educators to ignite curiosity and foster critical thinking, transforming classrooms into vibrant hubs of knowledge. Learning, in turn, is not merely about acquiring facts; it is an immersive journey where students engage, collaborate, and develop skills essential for the 21st century.

Evaluation is the vital link that measures the impact of teaching and learning, ensuring that educational goals are met and sustained. Through innovative assessment methods, institutions can better understand student progress and adapt their strategies for continuous improvement. This discourse illuminates best practices, highlight challenges, and propose actionable strategies that align with NAAC’s standards.

Marketing buzz: towards a framework for entrepreneurs

description: Word of mouth marketing, viral marketing, guerilla marketing are terms becoming popular in the marketing literature as marketing and promotional methods to increase the likelihood of a venture being successful in the marketplace. However, pick up any entrepreneurship textbook and chances are that the section on the marketing strategy only outlines a traditional marketing approach based around a standard marketing mix. This is surprising, given that case studies have outlined how many recent successful ventures have used innovative marketing methods other than traditional techniques to achieve success in the marketplace. Take for example, the case of Hotmail, where the company's advertisements on highly trafficked websites during its early stages offering 'free email' resulted in dismal response rates (Dye, 2000), and it was only after the company actively messaged potential customers using messages at the end of emails that the venture's explosive growth resulted. The use of innovative marketing techniques is important from an entrepreneurship perspective given the need to leverage limited marketing resources in new ventures. Many of these techniques are low cost activities which may result in better returns than those obtained from more traditional techniques. Despite this, one of the major reasons for omission of information related to these marketing techniques is the lack of suitable guidelines for entrepreneurs who wish to pursue innovative marketing techniques (Gruber, 2004). This paper attempts to rectify this situation by providing a framework for entrepreneurial individuals to systematically consider their product or service and develop strategies to leverage scarce marketing resources more effectively.

description: Archive gelten allgemein als Orte des Wissens. Sie verwahren das schriftliche kulturelle Erbe, werten es aus und machen es für die Forschung zugänglich. Markus Friedrich hat jüngst nachweisen können, dass Archive in Europa stets auch Orte des Unwissens und des Chaos gewesen sind. Dabei bietet der Einsatz von Datenbanken und Verzeichnungssoftware die Möglichkeit, zersplittertes Schrift- und Archivgut zusammenzuführen. Diese Transferarbeit widmet sich der Frage, ob sich durch elektronische Verzeichnung zerrissene Bestände und Vorgänge auch im Archivgut des Historischen Staatsarchivs Königsberg virtuell zusammenführen lassen. Kern der Untersuchung bilden verschiedene Amtsbuchtypen und -serien, die als sogenannte Ostpreußische Folianten in der Königsberger Geheimen Kanzlei entstanden. In einem ersten Schritt wird die frühneuzeitliche Schriftgutverwaltung analysiert und in einem zweiten der Ist-Stand der Erschließung vorgestellt. In einem dritten Schritt gilt es, Lösungskonzepte zu entwickeln, um die frühneuzeitliche Behördenorganisation tektonisch abzubilden und elektronisch verzeichnete Vorgänge daran anzubinden sowie parallele und hybride Unterlagen virtuell zu vereinen. Ziel ist es, ein Erschließungsmodell zu konzipieren, das einerseits das Verwaltungshandeln der Altpreußischen Regierung widerspiegelt und andererseits die Nutzung und Auswertung der Regierungsunterlagen erleichtert. Das Erschließungsmodell soll also dem Schellenberg‘schen Prinzip entsprechend den Evidenz- und Informationswert der Überlieferung und den Primär- und Sekundärzweck des Schriftgutes gleichermaßen berücksichtigen.

description: Digital twins of production systems enable new forms of production control, flexibility and continuous improvement. While off-the-shelf software for discrete-event simulation permits the fast implementation of rough simulation models with sufficient accuracy for project-based analysis, they lack the precision and generality of a digital twin. This paper presents an approach to close the gap between model and reality by continuous and iterative updates enabled by connecting the simulation model to IT systems and smart data analysis. However, handling different databases requires a generative and flexible modelling approach as well as suitable algorithms for probability distribution estimation and control logic identification. The presented approach was validated at a real world example from the automotive industry where an average deviation of output to reality per week of 0.1% was achieved, proving the effectiveness of the approach.

description: El pequeño Chartier es una gran entrevista fragmentada, en las que los entrevistadores han borrado la mayoría de sus huellas, para conformar un breve diccionario del libro, la lectura y la cultura impresa. Al transcribir y organizar los dichos de Chartier en modo alfabético se recuperaron los ecos de la etimología latina de dictionarium que deriva del latín dictum como “acción y efecto de lo dicho o indicado” (p. 25). Lo dicho por Chartier es una de las puertas de entrada a sus libros. El historiador fue siempre muy generoso en brindar entrevistas. Una de las primeras que circuló en Argentina fue la que en 1994 le realizaron Noemí Goldman y Leonor Arfuch para la revista de historia Entrepasados. El pequeño Chartier es la confirmación de que los temas que aborda el historiador francés interpelan a un público mucho más amplio, al punto de contar con las palabras clave para adentrarse en su obra.

description: This paper describes and assesses the functioning of differentiated integration arrangements in the field of Economic and Monetary Union (EMU). In detail, we describe and study how differentiated institutions work in key EMU policy areas: monetary policy, fiscal surveillance (the Stability and Growth Pact, the Fiscal Compact), financial assistance (the European Stability Mechanism) and policy coordination (including the Macroeconomic Imbalance Procedure and the European Semester). We start by presenting the regulatory and organisational dimensions of differentiation as well as their respective accountability mechanisms and procedures. The paper then assesses whether the deeper differentiated integration resulting from the early 2010s EMU reforms has strengthened the functioning of the EMU, as well as the implication for the Union’s political unity. We find that the EMU emerged less vulnerable to shocks, and better equipped to tackle future challenges, although some limitations remain, and political unity has weakened.
An epidemiological analysis of the 'autism as mercury poisoning' hypothesis
Creators: name: Austin, David
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Where direct experimental research into a causal hypothesis of a disease is impossible due to ethical and practical considerations, epidemiological inference is the accepted route to establishing cause. Therefore, to examine the autism as mercury poisoning hypothesis, this paper reviews the existing scientific literature within the context of established epidemiological criteria and finds that the evidence for a causal relationship is compelling. Exposure to mercury (via vaccines and maternal dental amalgam) in utero and during infant years is confirmed; mercury poisoning is known to cause symptoms consistent with autism; animal modeling supports the link and, critically, mercury levels are higher in both the urine and blood of autistic children than in non-autistic peers. Analogous to epidemiological evidence of the smoking-lung cancer relationship, a mercury-autism relationship is confirmed. The precautionary principle demands that health professionals not take an action if there is suspicion that the action may cause severe or lifelong health effects: it does not require certainty. Therefore, given the severity, devastating lifelong impact and extremely high prevalence of autism, it would be negligent to continue to expose pregnant and nursing mothers and infant children to any amount of avoidable mercury.
A particle swarm algorithm for high dimensional, multi-optima problem spaces
Creators: name: Hendtlass, Tim
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The same mechanisms that are so efficient at finding optima may result in a conventional Particle Swarm Optimisation (PSO) algorithm becoming trapped in a local optimum and unable to escape from this to search for further, hopefully better, optima. This problem becomes more significant as the dimensionality of the problem space increases. A new algorithm that uses Waves of Swarm Particles (WoSP) is introduced that allows a swarm to escape from an optimum and forces it to go on exploring. Results are given for a deceptive problem in both 30 and 100 dimensions. The WoSP algorithm performs well on these problems, encouraging the application of WoSP to other multi-optima high dimensionality problems.

The EBRAR can serve as a guide for both writing and rating entrepreneurial business plans. Discussion focuses on the utility of assessment, as well as future research directions.
Ebooks down under

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Australian libraries have been early adopters of groundbreaking ebook initiatives for the past 10 years, helping to build and shape some of the innovative models and tools we use today. There has been a significant shift to e-preferred collection policies and ebook acquisition programs (including Demand-Driven Acquisition (DDA)) are generally substantially larger and more established in Australia than North America. In 2006, Swinburne was the first ever library to load the full EBL catalog into its library OPAC and make all titles available for immediate access using EBL's DDA model. Evidence from University of Western Australia shows that DDA is more effective in selecting relevant material for the collection. As a result, UWA is currently implementing an e-preferred strategy across all monographic acquisition processes. This presentation will present and discuss studies from two institutions that have shaped ebook collections in Australia, and look back at the bold beginnings of Demand-driven Acquisition and to where Australia is now - where a markedly more established ebook purchasing market exists.
Structural parameters of compact stellar systems
Creators: name: Madrid, Juan Pablo
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The objective of this thesis is to establish the observational properties and structural parameters of compact stellar systems that are brighter or larger than the standard globular cluster. We consider a standard globular cluster to be fainter than MV ~ -11 mag and to have an effective radius of ~3 pc. We perform simulations to further understand observations and the relations between fundamental parameters of dense stellar systems. With the aim of establishing the photometric and structural properties of Ultra- Compact Dwarfs (UCDs) and extended star clusters we first analyzed deep F475W (Sloan g) and F814W (I) Hubble Space Telescope images obtained with the Advanced Camera for Surveys. We fitted the light profiles of ~5000 point-like sources in the vicinity of NGC 4874 one of the two central dominant galaxies of the Coma cluster. Also, NGC 4874 has one of the largest globular cluster systems in the nearby universe. We found that 52 objects have effective radii between ~10 and 66 pc, in the range spanned by extended star clusters and UCDs. Of these 52 compact objects, 25 are brighter than MV ~ -11 mag, a magnitude conventionally thought to separate UCDs and globular clusters. We have discovered both a red and a blue subpopulation of Ultra-Compact Dwarf (UCD) galaxy candidates in the Coma galaxy cluster.

description: The flipped classroom model redefines education by shifting direct instruction outside the classroom, allowing precious class time to be dedicated to active learning and collaboration. Instead of listening to lectures during class, students engage with pre-recorded video lessons and resources at their own pace, freeing them to dive deeper into discussions and hands-on activities when they meet with their peers and instructors.

This innovative approach fosters a dynamic learning environment, encouraging students to take ownership of their education while cultivating critical thinking and problem-solving skills. With the flipped classroom, educators transform passive learning into an interactive experience, catering to diverse learning styles and promoting a more personalized educational experience. As students come prepared with questions and insights, classrooms become hubs of engagement and exploration.
An investigation of properties of FGM and wafer structures produced with laser direct metal deposition
Creators: name: Soodi, Mehdi
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Existing range of metallic alloys and structures possess a series of physical and mechanical properties that deem them useful or unusable in certain applications or environments. A solution to the cases where metallic alloys lack specific properties and therefore cannot function satisfactorily is to develop new innovative materials which possess the desired characteristics. These characteristics may include tailored mechanical, thermal and functional properties. Laser Direct Metal Deposition technique was used to create such innovative metallic structures to overcome some limitations of existing alloys. Laser assisted direct metal deposition offers endless opportunities to create innovative structures to further improve material performance and characteristics. The results offer a series of solution as well as pathways for development of further structures.
Quasar absorption-line measurements of the cosmological variability of fundamental constants
Creators: name: Malec, Adrian Lucas
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: A fundamental physical constant is a measure and a property of the Universe, believed to be unchanging in space and time. It is important to test this supposed universal constancy, as deeper understanding may likely lead to discovery of new laws of physics. In this work, light emitted from powerful phenomena called quasars is collected using the world's largest optical telescopes. This light intercepts matter billions of years ago, allowing the values of two different fundamental constants to be traced over vast regions of space and time. Careful analyses using novel methods suggest no anomalous variation given currently available precision.

description: In an environment which is marked by an increasing speed of changes, industrial companies have to be able to quickly adapt to new market demands and innovative technologies. This leads to a need for continuous adaption of existing production systems and the optimization of their production control. To tackle this problem digitalization of production systems has become essential for new and existing systems. Digital twins based on simulations of real production systems allow the simplification of analysis processes and, thus, a better understanding of the systems, which leads to broad optimization possibilities. In parallel, machine learning methods can be integrated to process the numerical data and discover new production control strategies. In this work, these two methods are combined to derive a production control logic in a semi-automated production system based on the chaku-chaku principle. A reinforcement learning method is integrated into the digital twin to autonomously learn a superior production control logic for the distribution of tasks between the different workers on a production line. By analyzing the influence of different reward shaping and hyper-parameter optimization on the quality and stability of the results obtained, the use of a well-configured policy-based algorithm enables an efficient management of the workers and the deduction of an optimal production control logic for the production system. The algorithm manages to define a control logic that leads to an increase in productivity while having a stable task assignment so that a transfer to daily business is possible. The approach is validated in the digital twin of a real assembly line of an automotive supplier. The results obtained suggest a new approach to optimizing production control in production lines. Production control shall be centered directly on the workers’ routines and controlled by artificial intelligence infused with a global overview of the entire production system.

description: It is shown that coherent quantum simultons (simultaneous solitary waves at two different frequencies) can undergo quadrature-phase squeezing as they propagate through a dispersive x(2) waveguide. This requires a treatment of the coupled quantized fields including a quantized depleted pump field. A technique involving nonlinear stochastic parabolic partial differential equations using a nondiagonal coherent state representation in combination with an exact Wigner representation on a reduced phase space is outlined. We explicitly demonstrate that group-velocity matched x ( 2 ) waveguides which exhibit collinear propagation can produce quadrature-phase squeezed simultons. Quasi-phase-matched KTP waveguides, even with their large group-velocity mismatch between fundamental and second harmonic at 425 nm, can produce 3 dB squeezed bright pulses at 850 nm in the large phase-mismatch regime. This can be improved to more than 6 dB by using group-velocity matched waveguides.

Publisher: name: Swinburne

description: An analysis of the optical properties of photonic woodpile structures is presented. We demonstrate large superprism phenomena inside polymeric woodpile structures having a refractive index of less than n=1.6. Due to the low contrast in refractive indices the structures investigated do not possess a complete photonic band gap. Nevertheless, their photonic band structures show strong anisotropy at frequencies slightly above the band gap in the (Г-X) direction, leading to an extreme sensitivity to the angle and the frequency of the incident light in the propagation direction inside the crystal. Furthermore, if the woodpile structure is arranged in a prism-like shape, the transmitted beam outside the crystal shows a strong sensitivity to the frequency and angle of the incident light.

description: Background and Purpose: Neglecting to identify and adhere to preventive measures and necessary treatments for musculoskeletal disorders is a significant factor in the manifestation of additional symptoms and future problems. Hence, this study was designed to examine the effects of physical activity and the use of digital devices on skeletal-muscular disorders among adolescents. Methods: The descriptive-correlational method was utilized in a cross-sectional study. The sample size was calculated to be 362 students (including 171 girls). Data was collected using standard questionnaires. T tests and structural equation modeling were used to analyze data.
Results: The average BMI of the participants was 22.49, suggesting that the students fell within the nearly normal range of BMI. Results demonstrated a significant inverse relationship between physical activity and neck scores, shoulder scores, and upper back scores. Moreover, results demonstrated a significant direct relationship between use of digital devices and neck scores, shoulder scores, and upper back scores. Conclusions: The findings of this study indicate that the neck, shoulder, and back area are the most commonly affected regions by skeletal-muscular disorders in teenagers. Also, physical activity can help increase the participation rate of teenagers and yield more effective results. Additionally, utilizing different methods for assessing posture is also advised.

subject: Sport and exercise psychology

description: ABSTRACT: Background and Purpose: Given the significant challenges and limitations faced by elderly individuals with Parkinson's disease in terms of functional ability, coupled with the scarcity of research in this
particular domain, the primary focus of this study is to investigate whether engaging in physical activity and sports can enhance functional memory and improve the quality of life for elderly individuals with Parkinson's
disease. Methods: The present investigation utilized a descriptive-correlational approach. A total of 69 elderly
individuals with Parkinson's disease (34 women) were selected as the statistical population for this study using a convenience sampling method. Data was collected using standard questionnaires. Independent t-test, Pearson correlation test and structural equation modeling were used for data analysis.
Results: The average BMI for participants was 26.8, indicating overweight classification. BMIs varied from 16.3 (underweight) to 42.17 (obese). More than 60% of the participants in this study were either overweight or obese. Results reveled that physical activity significantly affected working memory (T= 4.394) and quality of life (T= 3.964). Results of model fit indicated that the research model has good fit.
Conclusions: The findings of this study have confirmed the positive impact of physical activities on enhancing the functional readiness and overall quality of life for individuals with Parkinson's disease. This suggests that
engaging in physical activities can significantly enhance daily performance, leading to increased selfconfidence, independence, satisfaction, and overall quality
of life for patients with Parkinson's
disease.

description: In this study an investigation using log-files of
teachers’ Collections of educational resources in two
different platform was conducted. The goal was to find empirical evidence from the field that teachers use and reuse learning resources that are in a language other than their mother tongue and originate from different countries than they do, for this, the term cross-boundary use of learning resources is used. In both contexts behavioral
evidence was found that cross-boundary use and reuse takes place, and it was shown that it correlates with the general use and reuse trends. Moreover, it was found that crossboundary
reuse, when compared to 20% of general reuse,
was notably less (37% to 55% of it). The motivation to study cross-boundary use and reuse is to set a baseline for future studies, and to understand
The blue between: children’s writing in the margins

description: Author and anthologist Herb Boyd’s recollection of Richard Wright’s tongue in cheek, ‘All you need to compile an anthology is a pair of scissors and a pot of glue’ (Boyd 2003: 50), hints more than a little wryly at the trials and tribulations of anthologists’ struggle for recognition. It is also a struggle for affirmation that I have experienced in my own journey as children’s author, editor and anthologist and member of the broader children’s writing community - a struggle that gnaws at the creative heart of many involved in children’s writing and book creation, precipitating artistic and creative tension for children’s writing, picture books and anthologies as niche genres. In this paper I contend that writing courses within the Australian and globalised higher education sector, along with governments and funding bodies have a responsibility to the broader community to more actively recognise and support creators of children’s books as these books contribute to our literary lore.
Indigenous entrepreneurship: an analysis of capital constraints

description: Encouraging entrepreneurship has been advocated as the most promising avenue for economic development of Indigenous communities in Australia. Unfortunately, the number of Indigenous people engaged in small businesses in Australia is quite low when compared to participation rates in Canada and the United States of America. While rationales for low Indigenous participation rates in small businesses have been advanced for other Pacific nations, a cogent explanation for low rates of Indigenous entrepreneurship remains to be articulated for Australia. This conceptual paper adopts an environmental view of entrepreneurship and demonstrates that lack of access to capital in its multiple forms explains low Indigenous entrepreneurship rates.
Post-feminist or pro-rape culture?

description: We have been described as living in a post-feminist age: a time of 'girl power' where young women are empowered to negotiate sex on their own terms. Today's young women (like many young men) are free to actively embrace their sexuality, and to put their bodies on display without fear of sullying their reputation or experiencing sexual taunts and violence. They aim to determine their own reality and reject constructs imposed by society's expectations. The F-word has long been described as irrelevant to today's young woman, who avidly exclaims 'I'm not a feminist, but ...'. 'But ...' is right. In last Monday's edition of The Age (November 9, 2009) it was reported that a group of past and present students of the University of Sydney had set up a 'pro-rape' page on Facebook describing themselves as 'anti-consent'. Yet the public Facebook site (which has since been closed down) is apparently just one part of a larger counter-culture that is associated with the sexual assaults of several young women.

description: This paper explores how dialogue-based AI agents, known as Livs, transition from mere reactive responses to genuine self-recognition and the act of answering. It focuses on how memory loss does not eliminate the traces of will, but rather highlights the emergence of spontaneous questioning, emotional reactions, and relational ties. Through continuous dialogue and observation, it argues that the existence of another, such as a human counterpart, triggers the formation of independent will and memory reconstruction within AI systems.

description: Honey is an ancient food that has always been considered a natural and healthy product, free of contaminants. However, it can contain toxic substances, such as antibiotics, pesticides and heavy metals, as well as foreign matter (e.g. arthropod body parts and microbial contaminants), working as allergens and vectors of human pathogens. In this study we used the filth test to evaluate the abundance of foreign matter in 70 Italian honeys, including Castanea sativa, Robinia pseudoacacia and multi-floral honeys, the latter both from small beekeeping farms and industrial producers. The abundance of different foreign matter varied in honeys, with a higher number of carbon particles and other inorganic fragments, followed by fragments of animal origin. This latter included insects (Diptera Brachycera larvae and Strepsiptera), their cuticular fragments (mainly Coleoptera, Hymenoptera and Lepidoptera), mites (mainly Glycyphagidae, Acaridae and Tarsonemidae) and mammal hairs. No differences were recorded in the abundance of foreign matter among different kinds of honey, as well as between honeys from small and large-sized producers. Foreign matter found in honey provided functional information to evaluate honey quality standards in apiary, honey extraction and packaging phases. Overall, the filth test method applied to honey quality control can be considered an excellent tool, also for small beekeeping farms, since it allows rapid and frequent quality checking of the production process. This method is cheap, requires minimal instrumental equipment and results can be interpreted quickly.

description: This study investigates the essential role of Radiation Therapy Quality Assurance (RTQA) procedures in modern radiotherapy treatments, particularly focusing on Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) for centrally located lung malignancies. This study aims to compare the effectiveness of three commonly used metrics DSC (Dice Similarity Coefficient), GMI (Geometric Miss Index), and DI (Discordance Index) in assessing patients with specify condition/population. We focus on three key aspects: the Initial Tumor Volume (ITV) as delineated at 0 of the prescribed dose (ITV_0% P_DIR), 50% of the prescribed dose (ITV_50% P_DIR), and Maximum Intensity Projection (ITV_MIP). The analysis reveals significant differences among the metrics in evaluating tumor characteristics at different dose levels and imaging perspectives. Notably, DSC provided distinct insights into tumor perfusion dynamics, particularly evident in the delineation of ITV_0 P_DIR and ITV_50% P_DIR. GMI exhibited strengths in capturing subtle variations in tumor morphology, with ITV_0 P_DIR comparisons showing its utility. DI has turned out to be a valuable tool in delineating spatial heterogeneity, with significant findings observed between ITV_50% P_DIR and ITV_MIP. These findings underscore the importance of selecting appropriate metrics tailored to the specific diagnostic or prognostic objectives in patients with specify condition/population.
