Sharing is caring: incorporating the concept of 'sharing' to reclassify corporate social responsibility initiatives
Creators: name: Chaudhry, Anjum Amin

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Organisations are increasingly adopting Corporate Social Responsibility Initiatives (CSRIs) with the aim of contributing to social and environmental issues and by so doing, to also gain strategic advantage in the market place. There is an array of different activities that fall within this endeavour which are commonly classified as social, environmental or economic initiatives. Other classifications are similarly based on the activities without empirical confirmation of consumers' perspectives of CSRIs. In this paper, we further develop the standard type classifications and incorporate Belk's theory of sharing as a mechanism to incorporate consumers' views. The proposed classifications were then tested on a sample of 358 adults across Australia. The refined and validated classification of CSRIs is presented, and implications for organisations are discussed.

description: The intensification of Northern Hemisphere glaciations at the end of the Pliocene epoch marks one of the most substantial climatic shifts of the Cenozoic. Despite global cooling, sea surface temperatures in the high latitude North Atlantic Ocean rose between 2.9–2.7 million years ago. Here we present sedimentary geochemical proxy data from the Gulf of Cadiz to reconstruct the variability of Mediterranean Outflow Water, an important heat source to the North Atlantic. We find evidence for enhanced production of Mediterranean Outflow from the mid-Pliocene to the late Pliocene which we infer could have driven a sub-surface heat channel into the high-latitude North Atlantic. We then use Earth System Models to constrain the impact of enhanced Mediterranean Outflow production on the northward heat transport in the North Atlantic. In accord with the proxy data, the numerical model results support the formation of a sub-surface channel that pumped heat from the subtropics into the high latitude North Atlantic. We further suggest that this mechanism could have delayed ice sheet growth at the end of the Pliocene.

Social responsibility of businesses: a philosophical framework in Islam
Creators: name: Mohammed, Jawed
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Businesses across the globe have enormous power. Their decisions directly or indirectly shape the social fabric of the country and society they operate in---politically, economically and socially. But with such power come social responsibilities. Numerous societies have articulated their notion of social responsibilities of businesses in context of their own socio-cultural and religious background. This study will highlight one such background, focussing on a major world religion---Islam. Islam has laid down a universal framework for humanity as a whole, which are to be observed and respected under all circumstances. As such, businesses must also adhere to this fundamental philosophical framework. A set of axioms that systematize and summarize the philosophical foundation of the religion is presented in this study that will also provide a framework for social responsibilities of businesses. The fundamental axioms of Unity, Equilibrium, Free Will and Responsibility, which quintessentially form the fundamental foundation of Islam, are discussed in light of the Shari'ah (Islamic social/legal system). The elements of trust, social justice, freedom and accountability that results from the adherence to these core axioms are further discussed. A brief description follows. The axiom of Unity links belief in one and only Allah (The Most Exalted) with His creation. The underlying philosophy of this principle is that Allah (TME) is an absolute owner of everything on earth and the heavens. Man, as His vicegerent (Khalifa) on Earth must hold these resources in trust (amanah) and are obliged to utilize them responsibly in accordance to Allah's (TME) will. Equilibrium emphasizes on social justice and responsibility. It provides a sense of balance among the various aspects of a man's life to produce the best social order. Free Will gives mankind the freedom to choose between the right and the wrong, the knowledge of which is clearly provided through the divine commandments in the holy Qur'an and Hadith. As a trustee (al 'amin) of Allah's (TME) resources, one can utilize them either responsibly or misuse them. The final ethical axiom of Responsibility is logically related to Free Will. Freedom must be counter-balanced by responsibility and having opted for the power to choose between good and evil, man must endure its logical consequences. Since he is responsible for all that he does, man must be accountable for his actions. Propositions and business expectations/applications based on the axioms have been presented to further elaborate a philosophical framework of social responsibilities of businesses in Islam.
Evaluating the impact of supply chain member relationships on organisational performance in the Victorian organic fruit and vegetable industry: development of a conceptual framework

description: Supply chain (SC) relationships are considered one of the major means in enhancing supply chain performance. These relationships enable supply chain members to facilitate coordination within the supply chain which leads to increased performance. We examined several constructs that influence supply chain relationship success, namely trust, commitment, collaboration, satisfaction, dependence, information sharing and power. After a detailed literature review, a conceptual framework was developed which will later be tested empirically. Organic fruit and vegetable industry in Victoria is selected as context of this study due to its current importance owing to lack of availability and also the industry's importance to the Victorian economy.

Beyond the dichotomy: Tradition in modernity
Creators: name: Ballantyne, Glenda
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The paradigm of ‘multiple modernities’ associated with the civilisational theory of S N Eisenstadt and Johann Arnason has emerged as one of the most ambitious attempts to go beyond Eurocentric conceptions of modernity. Underpinning its project to ‘multiply modernity’ is a distinctive take on the ‘cultural turn’ that characterised late twentieth century social theory; in contrast to the idea that modernity is a universal, culture-neutral formation, it argues that diverse traditions (including those which demarcate civilisations) have played a formative role in the emergence of multiple forms of modernity. However, this line of argument runs counter to some entrenched assumptions about the relationship between modernity and tradition. The idea that tradition is eroded in modernity was one of the most powerful legacies of classical social thought, and has been given a new lease of life in recent debates. In this paper, I contrast the multiple modernities understanding of the role of tradition in the modern world with the revival of classical assumptions evident in Anthony Giddens’ notions of detraditionalisation and post-traditional society. I argue that Giddens ultimately perpetuates the dichotomising tendency evident in the classical conceptions of modernity as the ‘opposite’ or absence of tradition, while the multiple modernities approach opens up fertile conceptual means for grasping the interpenetration of tradition and modernity. I argue further that the two approaches’ divergent assessments of the role of tradition in the contemporary world can be traced to their divergent understandings of what tradition is.

description: The Malian Government has introduced the Fertilizer Subsidy Program as a policy strategy to increase agricultural productivity and food production with the aim of improving the food security and well-being of smallholder farm households. However, there is a lack of reliable evidence regarding the effects of the subsidy program. We tested the effects of fertilizer subsidies on diet quality of women of reproductive age by applying propensity score matching methods to farm household survey data collected in 2018. We found that subsidized fertilizer has a positive effect on overall women’s dietary diversity in the Niger Delta but is negatively associated with the overall dietary diversity in the Koutiala Plateau. One of the innovations of this study is that the dietary diversity score is broken down according to food supply sources. Analysis by component allows a thorough understanding of the channel through which the subsidized fertilizer program affects women's nutrition outcomes. A close look at the different components of women's dietary diversity reveals no effects on dietary diversity from the consumption of own production in either of the two zones. Analysis showed a negative impact of subsidized fertilizer on dietary diversity sourced from gift food in Niger Delta. Finally, we found that the effect of subsidized fertilizer on the dietary diversity sourced from purchased food was strong and positive in the Niger Delta, but negative in the Koutiala Plateau. The negative results for the Koutiala Plateau are not entirely surprising given the history of the “Sikasso Paradox.” Decomposing diet diversity by food source suggests that income is the main pathway linking subsidized fertilizers program to women’s nutrition outcomes.
Delivering IT PMO value: Understanding stakeholder perceptions and expectations

description: The burgeoning growth of the IT Project Management Office (IT PMO) in organisations worldwide is argued to result from the need for better management of IT projects. Despite being set up to ensure IT project success, many IT PMOs do not survive, possibly as a result of tensions and challenges. One prevailing tension that IT PMO managers face is the struggle to justify their IT PMO value. Prior research has uncovered a key factor behind this tension---the fact that these IT PMOs play multiple roles and have to meet the competing demands and expectations of stakeholders. This study examines the functions of the IT PMO and its core values with a visual framework to help the IT PMO team understand its stakeholders' perceptions and expectations. With this shared understanding, the IT PMO team is empowered to develop strategies to better service stakeholders, and therefore be perceived as delivering value.

The construction of 'Indigenous identity': racism, the media and the Bolt case
Creators: name: Babacan, Alperhan
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The media 'are not only a powerful source of ideas about race, but they are also one place where these ideas are articulated, worked on, transformed and elaborated' (Hall, 1981: 37). The media are so influential that they construct for us, positions of knowledge and identification which allow us to identify with 'ideological truths' as though such 'truths' originated from ourselves (Hall ,1981: 30, 31). Using the case of Eatock v Bolt [2011] FCA 1103 (28 September 2011) as a backdrop, this paper analyses the impact of the media on the construction of racism and attempts to define Indigenous identity in Australia. The paper commences with a presentation of the facts and decision of the case. The Federal Court of Australia determined that the comments made by Andrew Bolt in reference to 'fair skinned' Aboriginals in the Herald Sun newspaper in 2009 were in breach of section 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act 1975 (Cth) as the comments were likely to humiliate, offend and intimidate 'fair-skinned' Indigenous Australians. The next section of the paper traces the comments made by some columnists and politicians following the decision of the Federal Court of Australia. Broadly these columnists and politicians argued that the decision amounted to censorship and a curtailment of free speech. It is argued that representations of 'Aboriginality' reflect the oppressive relationship between Indigenous Australians and the state/wider society. Historically, the classification of Aboriginal people was used by the Australian state to ideologically legitimize the incarceration of Aboriginal people and to separate Aboriginal children from their families. The media plays an important function in this process of classification. It is argued that aboriginal identity is linked to notions of self-concept and attachment rather than skin colour. Confining of the debate to solely freedom of speech ignores the immense power played by the media in the construction of racism in Australia. For Indigenous Australians, the Bolt case goes beyond arguments about freedom of speech and directly impacts upon the question of who has the right to define the identity of Australia's first peoples.

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This paper explores the implementation of a 1:1 Netbook Program over two consecutive years by the same cohort of students. The purpose of the study was to investigate how the Netbooks were used in the classroom and to evaluate the program after the first year of operation and the continuation of the program in the following year. The experiences of students and parents were obtained through questionnaires and teacher’s reflections were obtained through interviews. The data was triangulated to determine how Netbooks were utilised in the classroom, and if there were any concerns about the use of each device. The findings are presented in a thematic style exploring the usage of Netbooks in learning and teaching, the academic value of Netbooks and the technical issues faced by students particularly in the second year of operation. In the second year of the 1:1 Program, there was a significant reduction of Netbook usage due to staff priorities and the absence of a dedicated curriculum program that required integration of the technology.

description: The “Peer Community in” (PCI) is a non-profit scientific organization that aims to create specific communities of researchers reviewing and recommending, for free, unpublished preprints in their field (i.e. unpublished articles deposited on open online archives like arXiv.org and bioRxiv.org). To a lesser extent, they may also recommend postprints (i.e. articles already published in journals). These specific communities are entitled Peer Community in X, e.g. Peer Community in Evolutionary Biology (PCI Evol Biol), Peer Community in Ecology (PCI Ecol), Peer Community in Paleontology (PCI Paleo) etc ... Once recommended by one or several of these PCIs on the basis of rigorous peer reviews, preprints become valid references and may be considered to be articles of high value. Recommended preprints can be used by scientists and cited in the scientific literature. There is no need for these recommended preprints to be submitted for publication in classic journals (although they can be, according to the authors’ preferences).

description: This deliverable report provides an overview of data made available by the NanoSolveIT project, either through curation activities on literature data or data generation (experimental or computational) within NanoSolveIT. The report discusses the different ways of making data available: archiving versus interactive access, open licence versus unpublished data, less FAIR versus more FAIR data etc. We also show here that data produced by a project is not only data coming out from experiments funded by that project, but can also include data originating from other projects but curated, integrated, enriched, made more FAIR, or by providing interactive access to it. The latter can mean a custom API to support nanoQSAR modelling approaches, for example. The tables in this deliverable present datasets that NanoSolveIT partners generated, worked on, and/or made available as FAIR or as open data.

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. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

description: The GRB Host Studies (GHostS) is a public archive collecting observed quantities of GRB host galaxies. At this time (January 2006) it contains information on 32 GRB hosts, i.e. about half of the total number of GRBs with known redshift. Here we present some preliminary statistical analysis of the sample, e.g. the total stellar mass, metallicity and star formation rate for the hosts. We found that these are generally low-mass objects, with 79% having M* < 1010 M⊙. The total stellar mass and the metallicity for a subsample of 7 hosts at 0.4 < z < 1 are consistent with the mass-metallicity relation recently found for normal star-forming galaxies in the same redshift interval. At least 56% of the total sample are bursty galaxies: their growth time-scale (the time required to form the observed stellar mass assuming that the observed SFR is constant over the entire life of the galaxy) is shorter than 400 Myr. © 2006 American Institute of Physics.
Rapid fracture behaviour of rolling contact fatigue cracks under high axle load conditions

description: The probability of catastrophic rail failure as a result of the propagation of surface-initiated rolling contact fatigue (RCF) cracks to form transverse defects (TDs) is of ongoing concern to the rail industry, especially since the Hatfield incident in the UK in 2000. The heavy haul sector is not immune to such concerns, as the combination of improved rail steels and optimisation of the wheel-rail interface has reduced the extent to which rail wear influences rail life. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the growth behaviour of gauge corner cracking (GCC), and in particular, the tendency for rails to break with a rapid fracture, under the high axle load conditions typical of those that exist in Australian heavy haul operations. Previous work has shown that the occurrence of tension spikes as a result of localised vertical and lateral head bending on the web were significant in the understanding of this behaviour, which is exacerbated with increasing rail head wear (HW), such that the occurrence of the rapid fracture associated with this behaviour correlates with the extent of rail HW. This behaviour was examined using finite element (FE) modelling, which had previously been validated by comparison with in-track measurements to verify the prediction of the tension spikes. The FE model used a single rail on a discrete elastic foundation to parametrically study the growth behaviour of RCF damage subjected to changes in the rail HW; the contact patch offset (CPO) from the rail centreline, the (UV) ratio of lateral (L) to vertical (V) loads, foundation stiffness and the thermal stresses. The FE results reveal that existing GCC, when subjected to high tensile stresses at the underhead radius (UHR) and the gauge corner region, can contribute to the development of rapid (unstable) fracture. The results of this work can be used to examine the influence of wheel-rail interaction behaviour and rail HW on the probability of catastrophic rail failure from RCF damage.

description: Translating Quranic Arabic into Urdu is a challenge due to linguistic and theological differences. While machine translation has advanced significantly, transformer-based Neural Machine Translation (NMT) models have not yet been utilized for Quranic Arabic to Urdu translation. This study addresses this gap by developing a transformer-based model that ensures accurate and context-sensitive translation of Quranic verses. A dataset has been initialized that contains Quranic Arabic text and Urdu translation of respected. I performed preprocessing on the dataset by applying it towards tokenization, stemming, and lemmatization, without compromising the theological nature of the theme. To enrich the model to mine the linguistic and stylistic cues, transformer architectures such as Helsinki NLP/MiarinMT were used with the transfer learning. Finally, the model was evaluated for theological correctness by Islamic scholars and, secondly, by some automated metrics (BLEU, Rouge, and cosine similarity). Results show that the transformer model is a far better model that provides better translation quality in the sense that meanings are preserved, that is, contextual meaning as well as religious meaning, implying better accessibility to Urdu-speaking Muslims. This research proposes a new approach to the problem of translating sacred texts and solves, albeit theologically correct, otherwise unsolvable problems in Quranic translation, computational linguistics, and AI development. This research introduces a novel approach to Quranic translation, and future work will explore multimodal learning for deeper contextual understanding.

description: The adhesive function of cell surface proteins can be visually assessed through direct observation; however, the underlying structures that mediate adhesion typically remain invisible at the nanoscale level. This hinders knowledge on the diversity of molecular architectures responsible for cell-cell adhesion. Drosophila E-cadherin (DE-cadherin), a classical cadherin with a unique domain structure, demonstrates adhesive function; however, it lacks a structural model that explains its adhesion mechanism. In this study, we present a novel application of DNA origami technology to create a cell-free, flat environment in which full DE-cadherin ectodomains are anchored using SNAP-tags and biotin-streptavidin interactions. DNA origami was assembled into a 120 nm long block, bearing 5 or 14 biotin:streptavidin sites that were evenly spaced on one lateral face. DE-cadherin ectodomain fragments were attached via biotinylated SNAP-tags. These decorated DNA origami nanoblocks were subjected to transmission electron and high-speed atomic force microscopy, which revealed a hinge-like site that separated the membrane-distal and -proximal portions of the DE-cadherin ectodomain, suggesting a role in mechanical flexibility. We also observed interactions between DE-cadherin ectodomains via their membrane-distal portions on single DNA origami nanoblocks. We reconstituted an adhesion-like process via pairing DNA origami nanoblocks using DE-cadherin ectodomain interactions. Homophilic associations of functional DE-cadherin ectodomains between the paired DNA origami nanoblocks were visualized at the nanoscale, displaying strand-like molecular configurations, likely representing the extracellular cadherin repeats without regular arrays of structural elements. This study introduces a DNA origami-based platform for reconstituting and visualizing cadherin ectodomain interactions, with potential applications for a broader range of adhesion molecules.

Design process for a communication skills program for science and engineering research students
Creators: name: Mackie, Sylvia
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Engineering students need to develop skills in communication, and over the past several decades undergraduate programs have been augmented in line with this expectation (Russell, 2013). However, the need for postgraduate engineering students to develop skills to better communicate their research has not been addressed to the same extent, despite the fact that the demands placed on postgraduate researchers to write and present well in order to 'establish a professional identity' (Poe et al. 2010) are even more pressing than on those entering the field as 'working engineers'. The internationalisation of engineering education presents a further rationale for the creation of suitable postgraduate programs, given that many students now expect to enhance their English language proficiency over the course of their doctoral candidacy. In responding to these concerns, Swinburne University of Technology's Faculty of Engineering and Industrial Sciences (FEIS) has established a pilot program to address the question: 'How can FEIS higher degree by research (HDR) students be better supported in terms of the development of their research communication skills?' The approach to the program design involved conducting needs analysis, consulting with stakeholders within the faculty, considering issues and guidelines within the literature and drawing on the experience of the academic language and learning adviser in relation to previous writing and discipline-specific academic language and literacy programs. The program that is currently under way includes the following components: seminars that model skills and strategies for engineering and industrial sciences research writing and presentation and that address the various stages of the HDR life cycle; consultation sessions incorporating focused analysis of students' writing and follow-up sessions to develop language and literacy skill; a range of online learning resources hosted on a dedicated website. Mid-program evaluation indicates that a combination of targeted genre-based seminars and follow-up individual consultation sessions offers a promising avenue of improvement for HDR students seeking to enhance their research communication skills; however it is anticipated that further evaluation over the course of the program will add to current knowledge about the ways and the extent to which engineering students may expect to improve their communication skills over the course of their HDR studies.

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. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

Does the multiple choice question structure in examinations have an effect on student performance?

description: The existence of multiple-choice questions (MCQs) as an examination method has been around for more than a century. The attraction of MCQ tests/examinations is twofold. They allow a large amount of material to be tested over a short period of time and many cognitive abilities can be assessed. These tests can be marked relatively quickly and accurately. The majority of MCQs are structured with a stem (the question) with options (containing a single key and multiple distractors) (Cohen & Wollack, 2000). In addition the test can allocate negative marks for incorrect choices to avoid guessing or it can have no penalty for guesses. There are no hard and fast rules to determine the optimal number of distractors (Nitko, 2004). The focus of this project is to investigate the effect on student results of changing the structure of MCQs in examinations. In particular the effect of replacing 4 optioned MCQs with negative marking by 6 optioned MCQs with no penalties will be evaluated. The method used in this research was to change the format of the MCQs. Originally the format was 4 alternatives with a mark of +3 for the key, 0 for no answer and -1 for any of the distractors. The new format was to have 6 alternatives with +3 for the key and 0 for no answer or any of the distractors. The data is collected through end of semester final written examinations. The data collected has equal samples of years of average examination results of both negative marking MCQs and non-negative marking MCQs. The data is analysed on the performance of the various year's students and then compared and contrasted. The comparison is carried on both the MCQ section results as well as the total examination result. A student survey is conducted to attain the students' views. The results show that there was an improvement in the performance of the students in the MCQ section, but overall across the whole exam, which includes the MCQ section as well as a short answer section, there was only a marginal improvement. A student survey was conducted to determine the student's views on the different MCQ formats in the examination. The survey shows that 60% prefer to have the 6 alternative MCQs with no penalties. When negative marking could not be avoided 80% of the students chose to have the largest differential possible ie (+4,-1), thereby reducing the impact of negative marking. The effect of changing the structure of MCQs in examinations has shown that the overall results in the examination have not changed greatly statistically. In fact the overall marks improved slightly as you would expect with no negative marking, but of no great significance and yet the students believe that the new format is better for them. The students feel less stressed in doing the examination.
The invisibilities of code and aesthetics of redaction

description: The material turn in critical approaches to contemporary media, games and art presents an impetus to go even deeper to the underlying logical and technical architecture of the digital: code. Whilst code may be as routinely obscured, by commercial and scholarly focus on more visible interfaces, as it is pervasive, we caution against the tendency to position code as a magical solution. Code, we argue, only executes in a way that is always composite and transversal, reliant upon and drawing into relation a vast network of actors and materialities, across multiple levels and forms. The papers that comprise this special issue take up the analytical challenge this suggests, addressing code in relation to topics ranging from material computing, digital heritage, gestural gaming, platform labour and the digitality of text, to DDoS attacks, the spatiality of ARGs, video game engrossment and the intimacy of white lines. Against this backdrop, this introductory essay frames the complex materialities and in/visibilities of code. We argue that code, in its semiotic and technical senses alike, both enables and obscures - in fact, it conveys often through forms of masking and erasure. We thus position code as a negative-yet-generative force, through a study of the politics and aesthetics of redaction. Code emerges as an analytical figure able to diagram forms of connection and tessellation, but also negation and erasure, within material, technological and cultural assemblages.
