description: Glacial isostatic adjustment is largely governed by the rheological properties of the Earth's mantle. Large mass redistributions in the ocean–cryosphere system and the subsequent response of the viscoelastic Earth have led to dramatic sea level changes in the past. This process is ongoing, and in order to understand and predict current and future sea level changes, the knowledge of mantle properties such as viscosity is essential. In this study, we present a method to obtain estimates of mantle viscosities by the assimilation of relative sea level rates of change into a viscoelastic model of the lithosphere and mantle. We set up a particle filter with probabilistic resampling. In an identical twin experiment, we show that mantle viscosities can be recovered in a glacial isostatic adjustment model of a simple three-layer Earth structure consisting of an elastic lithosphere and two mantle layers of different viscosity. We investigate the ensemble behaviour on different parameters in the following three set-ups: (1) global observations data set since last glacial maximum with different ensemble initialisations and observation uncertainties, (2) regional observations from Fennoscandia or Laurentide/Greenland only, and (3) limiting the observation period to 10 ka until the present. We show that the recovery is successful in all cases if the target parameter values are properly sampled by the initial ensemble probability distribution. This even includes cases in which the target viscosity values are located far in the tail of the initial ensemble probability distribution. Experiments show that the method is successful if enough near-field observations are available. This makes it work best for a period after substantial deglaciation until the present when the number of sea level indicators is relatively high.

description: When a general equilibrium model is solved, there are often a large number of exogenous shocks. The change in each endogenous variable obviously depends on these different shocks. We point out a natural way of decomposing the changes (or percentage changes) in the endogenous variables as sums of the contributions made by the change in each exogenous variable. The change in any endogenous variable is exactly equal to the sum of the contributions to this change attributed to each of the exogenous variables. The contribution of a group of exogenous variables to the change (or percentage change) in any endogenous variable is defined to be the sum of the contributions of the individual exogenous variables in the group. If all the exogenous variables are partitioned into several groups that are mutually exclusive and exhaustive, the change (or percentage change) in any endogenous variable is just the sum of the contributions made by these groups. We introduce, and motivate, these decompositions in the context of a published GTAP application in which 10 regions remove import tariffs and non-tariff barriers to imports. We use the methods given in this paper to report numerical values for the contributions to the welfare gains of various regions due to tariff reductions by particular regions or groups of regions in this simulation. We show how the values obtained via the decomposition are related to the estimates in the published study of the contributions to welfare gain due to certain groups of tariff reductions. We describe a practical procedure for calculating the contributions of individual exogenous variables or groups of exogenous variables to the changes (or the percentage changes) in all of the endogenous variables. This procedure, which applies to a wide range of general equilibrium models, is now automated in GEMPACK in a version that will be made publicly available in the future. The contributions that make up the decomposition are defined as integrals. As such, they depend on the path by which the exogenous values move from their pre-simulation to post-simulation values. We propose one natural path, namely a straight line between these two points. Along this path, the ordinary rate of change is constant for each variable.

description: The objectives of decentralization policies in Sri Lanka have not matched their expectations, resulting in a considerable gap between theory and practice. People's participation, one of the main objectives of decentralization, has not been achieved in any significant manner. It is argued that the present decentralization model has placed the socially and economically advantaged group in a more dominant position in the development process. A lack of awareness of available opportunities amongst the local community exacerbates the problem. Finally, cooperation between the local community and practitioners is minimal thereby strengthening the dominance of politicians and bureaucrats in the decentralization process.

description: Ozone pollution and high temperatures have adverse health impacts that can be amplified by the combined effects of ozone and temperature. Moreover, changes in weather patterns are expected to alter ozone pollution episodes and temperature extremes. In particular, atmospheric blocking is a high-impact, large-scale phenomenon at mid-high latitudes that has been associated with temperature extremes. This study examines the impact of atmospheric blocking on the ozone and temperature dependence among measurement stations over Europe during the period 1999–2015. We use a copula-based method to model the dependence between the two variables under blocking and non-blocking conditions. This approach allows us to examine the impact of blocks on the joint probability distribution. Our results showed that blocks lead to increasing strength in the upper tail dependence of ozone and temperature extremes (> 95th percentile) in north-west and central Europe (e.g. the UK, Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg, Germany and the north-west of France). The analysis of the probability hazard scenarios revealed that blocks generally enhance the probability of compound ozone and temperature events by 20 % in a large number of stations over central Europe. The probability of ozone or temperature exceedances increases 30 % (on average) under the presence of atmospheric blocking. Furthermore, we found that, in a number of stations over north-western Europe, atmospheric blocking increases the probability of ozone exceedances by 30 % given high temperatures. Our results point out the strong influence of atmospheric blocking on the compounding effect of ozone and temperature events, suggesting that blocks might be considered a relevant predicting factor when assessing the risks of ozone-heat-related health effects.

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This paper explores the retrospective construction of atrocity narratives of organizational change in primary industries of the Latrobe Valley, located in southeast Australia. Within their narratives, participants discuss various forms of workplace violence aimed at employees by management and, in some cases, other employees. In addition, shifting narratives from violence to resignation are explored. As all participants are no longer employed in the organizations described in the narratives, causal associations between workplace violence and resignation choices are of particular interest. In this context, atrocity narratives are presented in a deliberate effort to extend the theorizing of organizational change into domains that are neither attractive nor progressive.

description: In 1995 the French Government conducted a series of nuclear tests at Mururoa Atoll in the Pacific Ocean. Reactions from governments and the public in Australia and New Zealand were intensely negative. Various consumer groups organised boycotts of French goods and the offices of many French subsidiaries were picketed. This paper examines the commercial effects on subsidiaries of French firms in Australia and New Zealand. It also considers the strategies adopted by management to minimise the threat. The results show that the majority of French subsidiaries were affected but the effects were of short duration. Many firms reacted inappropriately by taking steps that altered their long term structure and strategy.

description: This paper examines the challenges of utilising Covin and Slevin's (1991) entrepreneurial postures of risk taking, proactiveness and innovation in terms of enhancing firm performance. The need for a configuration model that incorporates both internal and external environmental factors is outlined. A new model for Entrepreneurial Orientation (EO) which incorporates networking as a means to facilitate the link between EO and the firm's environment to enhance performance is proposed. The construct of networking is defined as incorporating the variables of communication, trust and environmental scanning.
Economic reform, overlapping property rights, and polarisation in the real estate market

description: Economic reforms in many developing countries encompass a number of structural macro-adjustment programs with varying intensities. Adequate attention, however, has not been given to the archaic rent control and tenancy laws, which have substantially distorted the real estate market. A theoretical model is developed to analyse the overlapping property rights and stagnation created by the tenancy, rent control, and taxation laws. Utilising cases from South Asia, we show how liberalisation under existing archaic laws can further polarise the real estate market, and make the reforms socially and politically unsustainable. The historical stagnation, post-reform polarisation and demand-supply imbalances in the housing market are staggering. Reforms in the property market must reach a critical mass requiring drastic and fundamental changes in order to succeed and be sustainable.
Client Responsiveness for Professional Public Services: Reshaping Relationships With Voice and Choice
Creators: name: McGuire, Linda
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Client relationships are a key issue in public and non-profit management and the language and logic of marketing underpins the idea of 'customer-focused' services. The practical concern is the widespread belief that marketing philosophy and business techniques will change the inward focus of service providers to an outward client-orientation. This paper examines the managerial implications of transferring the concept of customer relationships in a strategic marketing framework to publicly funded professional services such as health, education and community care. There are two issues in the transfer of strategic marketing to professional public services. The first is the generic attributes of strategic marketing. In theory strategic marketing changes the inward focus of professional service providers to an outward client-orientation. The second issue is the specific context of publicly funded professional services. This paper examines the specific context of publicly funded aged care in Australia's federal system. The issues around transfer relate to the `professional' and `public' characteristics of these services. In practice the complexity of purchaser-provider-client relationships leads to confusion about 'markets' and 'customers'. The marketing challenge is managing excess demand for publicly funded services in the public interest. Regulation not marketing is reshaping strategic relationships in aged care. New accountability mechanisms rely on regulation and voice more than competition and choice.

description: In this paper, we propose a new Empirical Information Criterion (EIC) for model selection which penalizes the likelihood of the data by a function of the number of parameters in the model. It is designed to be used where there are a large number of time series to be forecast. However, a bootstrap version of the EIC can be used where there is a single time series to be forecast. The EIC provides a data-driven model selection tool that can be tuned to the particular forecasting task. We compare the EIC with other model selection criteria including Akaike's Information Criterion (AIC) and Schwarz's Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC). The comparisons show that for the M3 forecasting competition data, the EIC outperforms both the AIC and BIC, particularly for longer forecast horizons. We also compare the criteria on simulated data and find that the EIC does better than existing criteria in that case also.

Year: 2017

description: The use of motor vehicle generates a range of external effects. There is a growing body of research aimed at quantification of the external effects, in physical units and dollars, as well as considering the policy implications. The NRTC has commissioned a review of the health impacts of motor vehicle emissions (and noise). The review has been completed by Leonie Segal, public policy economist and senior research fellow with the Centre for Health Program Evaluation. The results of the review are reported in this paper. Despite the uncertainty in the data and knowledge about the relationships between important parameters, some conclusions about the effect of motor vehicle emissions on health, can confidently be drawn. Health effects are found to be minor, reflecting the relatively clean air quality of Australian cities. Health effects derive from respiratory illness attributed to high ozone days and small excess mortality from carcinogens of 10-18 case per year. The effect of particulates could not be determined. Due to the small number of estimated cases of excess morbidity and mortality, the total estimated value of health impacts is less than $50 per annum. In conclusion, this review of the pertinent studies from the environmental health literature, costs of illness data and studies to estimate the health costs of road vehicle emissions, suggests that the health costs to Australia from road vehicle emissions are most likely to fall within the range of $20 and $100 million, with $50 million suggested as a reasonable point estimate. Over time, as further evidence concerning the relationship between pollutants and health is obtained a revisions of these estimates may be appropriate.

description: This paper examines the development of a new version of the Organizational Culture Profile (OCP) (O'Reilly, Chatman and Caldwell, 1991). The current study aimed to overcome the limitations associated with the Q-sort methodology used in earlier versions by developing a revised version based on a Likert scale and using a large, diverse, Australia-wide sample (N=1918). The statistical software package, AMOS (Arbuckle and Wothke, 1999) was used to undertake confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) which tested the theoretically derived, hypothetical structure of factors and substantiated the content validity. Composite factor reliability coefficients (Fleishman and Benson, 1987) and Cronbach's alpha coefficients indicated high internal consistency for each of the seven factors. The results should encourage researchers and practitioners to use the instrument for empirical and diagnostic purposes.

How do stereotypes affect the ability to deliver good service in the hospitality industry?

description: The hospitality industry, which generated US $445 billion dollars in 1999 (WTO, 1999), has enabled many nations to develop their economy and consequently is the most important legal business in the world. Moreover, the hospitality industry is one of the most important job creators in the world, providing employment to approximately 100 million people internationally, a figure 1.5 times greater than any other industrial sector (WTO, 1999). Given the importance of this industry, it is a business and government imperative to ensure that business understand and possess the capacity for quality service provision to the international consumer. Our paper helps illuminate this little understood issue in service provision by analysing how stereotypes affect the delivery of good service in the hospitality industry. A theoretical model of factors affecting the cross-cultural service experience is developed from a review of the literature on the Theory of Reasoned Action, the Similarity Attraction Paradigm, Prejudice Theory and Communication Theory. The research uses a multi-method research design incorporating three studies, a participant observation study, an interview study and a survey study. Results of correlational analyses showed that as hypothesised, positive and negative stereotypes were associated with customer satisfaction and dissatisfaction respectively. The research findings have important implications for organisational policies and practices regarding the selection, performance management and training of service staff.
Fitting a Table to a Page Using Non-linear Optimisation

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: It is sometimes difficult to fit a large table comprising several rows and columns onto a page. The usual tactic is to manually adjust column widths, abbreviate some text and/or change some cells' font sizes until the table fits onto a page. We show that it is possible to express the problem of adjusting column widths so as to minimize the height of a table as an optimization problem with non-linear constraints. Five test problems were routinely solved using a free software package. We stress that the solutions are approximate because the model imperfectly simulates how many lines of a cell of a table will be required to contain a segment of text, but they appear to provide good approximations in difficult cases. The scant literature is summarized; the formulation and solution techniques outlined; examples are described; and differences between theoretical and actual answers explained. It would be possible to incorporate the calculations in word processing and typesetting packages such as Word and TeX.

description: Public universities in most developed countries are facing increasing pressure to "do more with less". Many have invariably come to terms with reality by repeatedly restructuring and downsizing to stay lean and survive. Effective leadership to see through drastic organizational changes is a must, whilst resistance to change is also one thing management needs to face squarely in the course of change. This paper offers some provocative thoughts to university management in gaining synergistic effect by the dual priming of Transformational Leadership and an Employee-Centred Resistance to Change Perspective to afford the "doing more with less".

description: Organisations in the new millennium are faced with significant challenges to compete in a globalised system that involves the integration of free markets. In order to successfully compete in the global market, organisations in transitional economies have to develop the organisational culture that espouses employee's contribution to the organisational effectiveness. Human resources management plays a key role in the development of organisational culture. This in turn has an affect on the employee's commitment to the company through the process of recruitment and selection, performance appraisal, reward systems, training and development. In companies where human resources management is in its infancy, the organisational culture affects the employee's commitment to the company primarily through the reward systems. In this paper we focus on identifying theoretical concepts, principles, and methods in human resources management (HRM) for transitional companies. We conclude that transitional companies need to focus on the development of an organisational culture based on core values of rewarding excellent performance and increasing the opportunities and challenges for their employees.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts.

description: Over the past decade, developments such as the growth of enterprise bargaining and new legislation, particularly The Workplace Relations Act 1996, have directly challenged the traditional core role of the Australian Industrial Relations Commission (AIRC) in industrial relations. This paper assesses the current role of the AIRC, particularly the usage, processes and attitudes of the users of the AIRC. Basing our analysis on a questionnaire survey of users of the Commission, focus groups and interviews, the paper argues that, despite the Act, the AIRC is sufficiently adaptable to continue to play a vital role in the federal industrial relations system.

description: En la formación de escritores –de cualquier campo científico y humanístico– la lectura de textos es, a la vez, cimiento fundante y pilar que sostiene al árbol de la escritura; es la exigencia primaria para quien pretende iniciarse en los fascinantes –pero a veces inciertos– sederos de la escritura; más aún cuando se pretende escribir sobre un tema o en torno a un campo temático especializado, como son los asuntos de lo educativo. Es un ejercicio físico e intelectual que detona en el sujeto lector/escritor, diversas asociaciones neuronales; las cuales se apoyan en memorias y expresiones que éste ha configurado en sus andares por el mundo. Y así los escritores afirman que escriben sin obligación y sin compromiso con nadie; en los periodos del día en que les llega la inspiración de las musas de la escritura.

New public management: a parliamentary perspective
Creators: name: Hughes, Owen
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017

description: Within the broader field of public administration, no topic has been more controversial in recent years than that of the new public management (NPM) or managerialism. Books, journals, conferences have abounded on this theme and its variants. As could be expected, there is much confusion, much argument, much in the way of contrary claims. There is even some doubt as to whether there is any change at all. For example, Lynn (1996) argues that he is skeptical as to whether new public management is an international phenomenon or even a phenomenon at all. From the perspective of the UK, New Zealand and Australia, such claims seem to fly in the face of what has happened. There has been a period of managerial reform unlike any other this century. While it can be argued that 'the pace of change is greater in some countries, for example New Zealand, Australia and the UK than in others, such as the US and Germany' (Nunberg, 1995, p. 4), this is only a partial answer. It is also possible, along with the institutional differences that might slow the pace of change, that the debate over the new public management shows a further decline in the explanatory power of public administration. From being a world leader over much of the twentieth century, public administration, particularly American public administration has been left behind. Practical inventions are evidenced more in other countries, while intellectual leadership may have passed to institutional economics. The May/June 1998 issue of Public Administration Review advertised a 'symposium* where a number of writers - including another article by Lynn (1998) - put forward their arguments about the new public management. While many cogent points are made, the overall point seems to be missed. At the same time as there is little more than academic debate in the US, the public services in other countries have been transformed and, in some cases, torn apart. There are theoretical changes of some moment in other countries that have not received the attention or understanding they deserve. Something has happened in recent years. Whether or not it is a change of paradigm, or mere reform, or even business as usual is open to debate. The aim here is to look at NPM from a parliamentary perspective, and more particularly an Antipodean one, where more change has occurred than in the US. Rather than the absence of marked change in the US - contra Osborne and Gaebler (1992) and Gore (1993) - being proof that the new public management is a flawed set of reforms, it is argued that what has happened is another kind of American exceptionalism. Despite being the original home of much of the theory behind NPM, particularly economic theory, the political system in the US diffuses and ameliorates major change of any kind. The effects of NPM can be seen more clearly in parliamentary systems where elected governments have far more effective power over their bureaucracies.

RSK4 targeting: A new therapeutic strategy against drug resistance and metastasis in non-small cell lung cancer
Creators: name: Chrysostomou, Stelios
Publisher: name: Imperial College London

description: Lung cancer is the commonest cause of cancer death worldwide with a five-year survival rate of less than five percent for metastatic tumours. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for 80% of lung cancer cases of which adenocarcinoma prevails. Patients almost invariably develop metastatic drug-resistant disease and this is responsible for our failure to provide curative therapy. Hence, a better understanding of the mechanisms underlying these biological processes is urgently required to improve clinical outcome. The p90 (90 kDa) Ribosomal Protein S6 Kinases (RSKs) are downstream effectors of the RAS/MAPK cascade. RSKs are highly conserved serine/threonine protein kinases implicated in diverse cellular processes, including cell survival, proliferation, migration and invasion. There are four human isoforms (RSK1-4), which are uniquely characterised by the presence of two non-identical N- and C-terminal kinase domains. RSK isoforms are 73%-80% identical at the protein level and this has been thought to suggest overlapping functions. However, through functional genomic kinome screens, we show that RSK4, contrary to RSK1, promotes both drug resistance and metastasis in lung cancer. RSK4 is overexpressed in the majority of NSCLC biopsies and this correlates with poor overall survival in lung adenocarcinoma patients. Genetic silencing of RSK4 sensitises lung cancer cells to chemotherapy and prevents their migration and invasiveness in vitro and in vivo. This is associated with downregulation of the anti-apoptotic proteins c-IAP1 and c-IAP2, and induction of mesenchymal-epithelial transition (MET), respectively. A small-molecule inhibitor screen identified several floxacins as potent allosteric inhibitors of RSK4 activation. Trovafloxacin reproduced all biological and molecular effects of RSK4 silencing in vitro and in vivo and it is predicted to bind a novel allosteric site as revealed by our RSK4 N-terminal kinase domain crystal structure and mathematical Markov Transient Analysis. Taken together, our data implicate RSK4 as a promising novel therapeutic target in lung cancer.

description: No cabe duda que el desarrollo en la educación universitaria posteriores a la II guerra mundial recibieron el impacto de los acontecimientos económicos y políticos que le siguieron. La guerra fría y el enfrentamiento de dos grandes corrientes ideológicas gravitaron sobre la concepción de la salud pública y la enseñanza de las ciencias de la salud. Es entonces cuando, vistas las grandes desigualdades sociales y su efecto sobre la salud y el llamado orden público, aparece la consideración de lo social en la enseñanza y práctica de las ciencias de la salud. El paradigma social entre a rivalizar con el científico tecnológico biomédico.

description: Canadian and French researcher creates genetic "DNA Mirror Twins" and reveals security flaw in DNA databases

October 29, 2024

Victoria Kayser-Cuny, an independent researcher in genetics and artificial intelligence, announces the creation of "DNA mirror twins" – artificial DNA profiles generated by AI from sequencing data. This discovery highlights a vulnerability in genetic databases and raises crucial ethical questions about identity and data security.

Imagine DNA as a spiral staircase with steps made of four different types of building blocks, called nucleotides: A, T, G, and C. These nucleotides always pair up in a specific way: A with T, and G with C. Kayser-Cuny's breakthrough involved using AI to create a "DNA mirror image" of this staircase, swapping each nucleotide for its complementary partner. Think of it like looking at the DNA in a mirror: every A becomes a T, every T becomes an A, every G becomes a C, and every C becomes a G.

Using this innovative method of inverting nucleotides in a raw DNA file, Kayser-Cuny created an artificial genetic profile, completely different from the first, that was recognized as a close relative (half-brother/nephew) by the algorithms of DNA analysis websites. This discovery shows that it is possible to create artificial DNA profiles and pass them off as real people, which could have serious consequences in terms of identity theft, evidence tampering, and invasion of privacy.
