Describing, Sampling, Collecting: Warburg, Wittgenstein and the Epistemology of Comparative Morphology
Creators: name: Brusotti, Marco
name: MainBerger, Sabine
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Macerata
Year: 2020

description: In the period from around 1900 until the 1930s, there is a huge amount of friction between questions of form and questions concerning history. Various approaches attempt to overcome patterns of causal genesis and to develop different models of the relationship between history and form. In German-speaking Europe, Goethe’s morphology proves to be exceptionally appealing in this context: it is seen as a possible solution to the conflicting relationship. We will take a closer look at two examples from a wide array of attempts to update Goethe’s morphology: we will consider Warburg’s Mnemosyne Atlas and Wittgenstein’s thoughts about Spengler’s ‘art of comparing’ and James Frazer’s evolutionary anthropology.

Modelling of nickel laterite smelting to ferronickel
Creators: name: Swinbourne, Douglas R.
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Most nickel is produced as the metal, but about a third of the world's new nickel is ferronickel. World annual production of ferronickel is around 250,000 tonnes, with the two largest producers being BHP Billiton and Societe Le Nickel (Cartman, 2010). Most of the world's accessible nickel reserves are oxidic ores called “laterite” (Sudol, 2005), and are the result of chemical weathering and supergene enrichment of mafic/ultramafic rocks. They vary greatly in depth, nickel grade and mineralogy (Dalvi et al., 2004). The lower layers are called “saprolite” and have nickel contents from 1.8 to 3 wt-%, relatively low iron contents but high magnesia and silica contents and are suited to pyrometallurgical processing (Cartman, 2010).

Biosorption of copper by nepenthes ampullaria-associated-endophytic fungi
Creators: name: Wong, Changi
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: In recent years, environmental pollution by heavy metals has caused increasing ecological damage and led to global public health concerns. Biosorption is one of the ways to deal with heavy metal pollution. In this study, endophytic fungi were (a) isolated from the carnivorous plant Nepenthes ampullaria (b) assessed for their resistance against heavy metal copper and (c) evaluated for their biosorption capacity. In total, 147 fungal isolates were isolated from Nepenthes ampullaria and only 11 (7.5%) of the total isolates were capable to resist copper concentration up to 1000 ppm. The 11 fungal isolates were identified through molecular method, and grouped as members of the Phomopsis, Diaporthe, Nigrospora, and Xylaria. The fungal isolate NA40 related to Xylaria sp. achieved the highest biosorption capacity of of 73.26 mg/g using live biomass, thus chosen for study of proteome expression in response to copper. Three different copper concentrations (0, 300, 500 ppm) were used in the study. Results show that there are 11 protein spots being up-regulated and 1 protein spot down-regulated in response to copper. The protein spots were identified to be related to the enzymes involved in heat shock protein, DNA repair and antioxidant reaction. This study on Xylaria serves as a baseline study for the response of the fungus to copper.

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The broad objective of the Doctoral research was to apply innovative engineering approaches to analyze the Left Ventricle (LV) of the human heart in order to provide the underpinning knowledge required to develop a 'next generation' Ventricular Assist Device (VAD) using wireless control. In doing so, the prime focus of this Doctoral research was eyed on the numerical investigations required to determine hemodynamic parameters and the structural changes in a LV model. The Fluid Structure Interaction (FSI) scheme was determined to be an appropriate means of investigating and determining the functionalities of the LV. All these numerical investigations provide useful insights on the LV in various conditions and the data will be helpful in developing a next generation VAD model.

Unbiased Seismic Forward Modelling
Creators: name: Kallinger, Thomas
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: Seismic forward modelling, i.e. the search for a match between some observed and model frequencies in order to identify a representative stellar model, is an important piece in the big puzzle of stellar astrophysics. It allows one to determine otherwise unknown stellar properties, to evaluate our stellar models, and even to test the underlying physics. However, there are know deficiencies in the stellar models that cause erratic shifts of the model frequencies and therefore hamper a direct comparison with the observations. This so-called surface effect is commonly treated by heuristic corrections calibrated to the Sun. Even though it is meanwhile expected that such corrections tend to fail, especially for stars very different from the Sun, it is still widely in use. In this talk, I present a new approach that uses probabilistic methods to marginalise the influence of the surface effect and therefore allows for an unbiased search of a best-fit model by using only the observed frequencies. The approach was tested for a wide range of solar-type oscillating stars using Kepler and TESS data. It thereby gives accurate results that are consistent with independent measurements, from e.g. eclipsing binary systems. As a byproduct the method returns the actual model frequency shifts, which are quite different from what is presently expected. This at least questions many results based on commonly used surface effect corrections.

The role of self-identity in decision making by entrepreneurs
Creators: name: Bryant, Peter
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Questions of self-identity go to the heart of major debates in the decision sciences, such as the relationship between individual and social choice, free will versus determinism, and the basis of personal ethics in decision making (Kahneman & Tversky, 2000; March, 1997; Sen, 1997). In response, much recent scholarship portrays the self neither as an idealised autonomous agent independent from the social milieu, nor as a slave to social and environmental forces. Rather, the decision making self is viewed as both consciously agentic and unconsciously emergent through interactions within the social world (Bandura, 2001; Higgins, 1998b; Schwartz, 2002). The same questions infuse research into the nature of decision making by entrepreneurs. For example, to what extent are entrepreneurs free autonomous individuals, as opposed to being constrained by markets, firms and organizational factors (Krueger, Reilly, & Carsrud, 2000; Schwartz, 2002)? What role does self-identity play in shaping the motivations and goals of entrepreneurs (Goss, 2005; Shaver & Scott, 1991)? To what extent do entrepreneurs self-regulate decision making behavior in the pursuit of an idealized self-concept (Brockner, Higgins, & Low, 2004; Miner, 2000)?

description: Max Weber, who used to be rejected as an "opponent of Marxism", has now been rediscovered in the People's Republic of China. Two factors account for the growing interest in Weber’s work: the search for a theory of modernization and the new ambition to reach international level in the social sciences. Articles in bis newspapers like "Guangming Ribao" are introducing Weber to the Chinese reader. Sociologists as well as historians are attracted by Weber's theories, and stu- dents are already discussing a slogan "Yi Ma fan Ma" - with Max (Weber) against Marx.

"Asiatic" or "Feudal" - How to Define the Precapitalist Mode of Production in Korea?
Creators: name: Choe, Jae-Hyeon
Publisher: name: Internationales Asienforum
Year: 2017

description: The concept of mode of production developed in the Marxist debates can only partly apply to the precapitalist social formation of Korea where a centralized state power, rigid estate system and share cropping were existing side by side. Especially the concept of the Asiatic mode of production cannot explain this type of traditional society, since the most important criterion for it, namely, the state ownership and village control of arable land, has never been dominant. On the contrary, a greater part of arable land was owned by private landowners, and the surplus products were expropriated not by the state as tax, but by private landowners as ground-rent. The state owned less than 10 % of the whole arable land of this country. The control of the population by the state apparatus was not due to the state ownership of land, but due to the estate system with extra-economic force. This kind of society was more similiar to the feudal than to the Asiatic mode of production.

Das Ende der Sukarno-Ära: Interpretationen zu den Ereignissen am 1.10.1965 in Indonesien
Creators: name: Landmann, Horst
Publisher: name: Internationales Asienforum
Year: 2017

description: On 1st October 1965 Sukamo’s reign over the Indonesian islands ended. His policy had sided with the Chinese position in the Southeast Asian conflict with the USA. The American govemment approved his downfall in view of the escalating Vietnam war. His successor, Suharto, accepts more willingly the interests and positions of the United States. This article tries to reconstruct the events of 1/10/1965 as far as possible and to confront the contradictory interpretations - still circulating today - with each other. It becomes apparent that the accusations of those involved in the events cannot be proved true and that all theories overestimating the influence of foreign or domestic secret-agents cannot give an accurate interpretation of the historic situation. 1/10/1965 as a tuming-point in Indonesian history can be seen as an outstanding example of historic events, which led - driven by conflicting actors - to unplanned, unpredictable results. In so far as the domestic and foreign effects of these events can still be felt today this historical analysis tries to contribute to the understanding of contemporary Indonesia.

Exploring the emerging employability skills in occupations: an Australian perspective
Creators: name: Esposto, Alexis
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: We live in rapidly changing circumstances in which global market forces impact on the demand for labour and the skills required in the workplace. This has caused changes and challenges in economies such as Australia and Argentina. This paper aims to outline and discuss why some skill sets might be more important than others in meeting the challenges of a rapidly changing labour market, that is, how best to respond to a rapidly changing labour market and importantly how best to assess what sets of skills are required by the economy to grow and to compete effectively in an increasingly complex and competitive economic global environment. The paper argues that one way of achieving a good understanding of skill requirements is through the Occupational Information Network (O*NET), an extensive US database that describes the attributes and characteristics of occupations and workers. It uses the O*NET data on skill which is made up of 46 distinct indicators and applies it to the Australian labour market context using the Monash Forecasting System, and presents detailed 'employability skills' forecasts.

description: Introduction : La relation soignant-soigné est un pilier essentiel de la qualité des soins hospitaliers.  En République Démocratique du Congo  en général cette relation est  souvent confrontée à des tensions liées aux facteurs socio-économiques, culturels et organisationnels, et en particulier cela serait sans doute  le cas à l’Hôpital Général de Référence de Bunia qui se trouve dans une province en forte tensions sociopolitiques, culturelles, ainsi qu'une forte demande de service de santé. Cette étude vise à explorer la perception des patients hospitalisés quant à la qualité de leur relation avec les soignants et à identifier les facteurs qui l’influencent.

Méthode : Une étude quantitative descriptive transversale analytique sera menée auprès des patients hospitalisés depuis au moins 48 heures dans les services de médecine, chirurgie et gynéco-obstétrique de l’HGR de Bunia. L’échantillonnage sera stratifié aléatoire proportionnel, et les données seront recueillies à l’aide d’un questionnaire structuré avec échelle de Likert. Les analyses incluront des tests bivariés (chi carré) et une régression logistique multivariée (p < 0,05).

Résultats attendus : L’étude devrait mettre en évidence une corrélation entre la qualité perçue de la relation soignant-soigné et des facteurs tels que la communication, l’écoute, le respect, la disponibilité des soignants et la prise en compte des réalités  économiques, culturelles et psychosociales des patients.

Discussion et conclusion : Les résultats attendus permettront de mieux comprendre les déterminants relationnels dans un contexte hospitalier Iturien marqué par des tensions. L’étude fournira des pistes concrètes pour renforcer la relation thérapeutique et améliorer la satisfaction des patients. Elle contribuera ainsi à une amélioration durable de la qualité des soins dans les hôpitaux de l’ituri.

The Local Similarity Analysis (LSA) statistic identifies the existence of local and lagged relationships, but determining significance through a p-value has been algorithmically cumbersome due to an intensive permutation test, shuffling rows and columns and repeatedly calculating the statistic. Furthermore, this p-value is calculated with the assumption of normality -- a statistical luxury dissociated from most real world datasets. Results To improve the performance of LSA on big datasets, an asymptotic upper bound on the p-value calculation was derived without the assumption of normality. This change in the bound calculation markedly improved computational speed from O(pm 2 n) to O(m 2 n), where p is the number of permutations in a permutation test, m is the number of time series, and n is the length of each time series. The bounding process is implemented as a computationally efficient software package, FASTLSA, written in C and optimized for threading on multi-core computers, improving its practical computation time. We computationally compare our approach to previous implementations of LSA, demonstrate broad applicability by analyzing time series data from public health, microbial ecology, and social media, and visualize resulting networks using the Cytoscape software. Conclusions The FASTLSA software package expands the boundaries of LSA allowing analysis on datasets with millions of co-varying time series. Mapping metadata onto force-directed graphs derived from FASTLSA allows investigators to view correlated cliques and explore previously unrecognized network relationships.

description: In recent history our perception of the world and its problems has been dominated by a powerful media utilising a mass communication system. This system provided much of our social communication and in turn determined, in part, how we interpret our world and make the decisions that affect it. It has been argued that mass media was a cultural off-spring of the industrial revolution along with its sibling: formal secular public education (mass education). Both cater to an industrial society's need for standardisation; both encourage mostly passive reception by individuals of mainstream values, knowledge and world-views. People's adoption of the internet is eroding this model of social interaction. Instead of passively receiving information without discussion, many people are now openly debating and challenging the messages they have received. Furthermore, rather than being restricted to messages filtered by the mass-media machine, people are now actively engaging in exchanging all manner of content and ideas. In this paper we argue that these new forms of interaction are creating new attitudes and expectations; that there is a growing movement of people who are refusing to accept, without challenge, mainstream messages. This movement is encouraged by increasing evidence of the failure of mainstream world-views, theories and policies. As a result of these failures, and because of the enabling technologies of the internet, people are seeking to develop their own, independent, understanding of the world and its problems. In this paper we present evidence for this movement and we discuss the implications for our traditional education institutions which, until now, have been protected from their critics by the limited social interaction allowed by mass media and the passive reception of ideas encouraged by both these siblings.

description: Seaweed cultivation in India has emerged as a new livelihood option for coastal communities. Seaweeds are marine macroalgae that can be harvested for a variety of purposes, including food, medicine, and biofuel. India has a vast coastline of over 8129 km, making it ideal for seaweed cultivation. The potential benefits of seaweed cultivation are numerous. It can provide an alternative source of income for coastal communities, promote sustainable aquaculture, and help mitigate climate change by sequestering carbon dioxide. Seaweed cultivation also has the potential to create new jobs in processing and marketing of seaweed products. Several initiatives have been undertaken in India to promote seaweed cultivation, including the establishment of seaweed farms and research centers. The Indian government has also launched a program to promote seaweed cultivation in the country, with the aim of generating employment and promoting sustainable coastal development. Despite the potential benefits, seaweed cultivation in India faces several challenges, including lack of awareness and technical expertise, limited infrastructure, and inadequate financing. To overcome these challenges, it is necessary to create awareness about the benefits of seaweed cultivation, provide training and technical support to farmers, and develop infrastructure for processing and marketing of seaweed products. In conclusion, seaweed cultivation has the potential to provide a new livelihood option for coastal communities in India. However, it requires concerted efforts from government, industry, and civil society to promote and support this emerging sector.

description: Transmigrasi is the govemment assisted programme for resettlement from the densely populated islands of Java, Bali and Madura to the outer islands of the Indonesian archipelago. If the plans are realized transmigrasi could become the biggest organized migration in human history. The programme aims at the reduction of population pressure in Java, an increase in food production, and more balanced regional development. After numerous difficulties Repelita III (1979-84), when more than 500.000 families were moved, was a breakthrough. Against this background the target figure for Repelita IV (1984-89) was increased to 750.000 families. Most settlers come from East and Central Java. During Repelita IV Kalimantan and West Irian will replace Sumatra as the main settlement areas. The efficiency of the resettlement process could be improved by organizational reforms, better preparation of settlement sites and strengthening of supporting services. Even so, transmigrants are faced with numerous problems resulting mainly from lack of experience with agricultural production in a totally strange environment, insufficient infrastructural facilities and the loss of traditional social relationships. Transmigration is often criticized by public opinion due to the high costs of the programme, the ecological effects, and the poor performance of the administration involved. Empirical studies, which could allow objective assessments, are therefore urgently needed.

description: The oil price slump 1986 will have unpleasant consequences on labor migration from South- and Southeast Asia to the Middle East. The construction boom in the Middle East is definitely over, which cuts off the most important source of employment. Migrant workers now needed by labor importing countries are in general better skilled, but there will be fewer job opportunities after this shift in labor demand. The governments of labor importing countries will be forced to reduce subsidies, which might force part of their citizens to exercise professions up to now only done by migrants. The govemments will also intensify their policies to curb the number of migrant workers employed in their countries. The Asian labor exporting countries are forced to reintegrate large numbers of workers and to adapt their economies to much lower remittances than in the past.

Das regionale Entwicklungsgefälle in Indien in seiner Relevanz für eine regional orientierte Entwicklungsplanung und -politik: Ausmaß - Dynamik - Ursachen

description: One of the great challenges with which development in the Indian subcontinent is, and will continue to be, confronted is its regional dimension, which has long been neglected by researchers and development planners. It is the object of this essay to point out the dimension, the dynamics and the causes of regional development disparities for the last 50 years. Regarding the analysis of the present situation above all four characteristics may be noted: 1) At state, district and tahsil level we find pronounced development divergences which do not follow a definite spatial order such as an East-West or North-South gradient. 2) Among the states Punjab has a clear developmental lead over the others. 3) Contiguous to it in Central India and also some adjacent areas to the North we can identify a zone of a rather low development level. 4) A particularly marked development incline exists between the metropolises, esp. very large ones (> 5 mill. inhabitants), on the one hand, and the rural regions within their catchment areas, even if not situated in their immediate vicinity, on the other - vice versa, remoteness from metropolises together with favourable natural conditions tends to have an equalizing effect. The analysis of the development of regional disparities since 1931 has led us to the following results: 1) The basic spatial pattems of the present disparities were extant already fifty years ago with the important exception of the Central and Eastern Gangetic Plain, which showed at that time a relatively high degree of development. 2) On the whole, the formerly autonomous princely states show a distinctly lesser degree of development than the regions included in British India. 3) Since the middle of the sixties polarization of regional development levels has been accelerating. 4) Metropolitan predominance was already clearly discernible by 1930. We find the most important causes of the regional development disparities to lie in the combination of prevalent natural conditions, the degree of infrastmctural development and - of specific significance - a differential readiness to accept innovations, but also in the legacy of colonial spatial policy with its marked preference for the large metropolises and the Northwestem region (Punjab). The growing exacerbation of the regional development levels and the consequences resulting therefrom - stagnation in wide parts of the country accompanied by marginalization of a growing part of the population - have become a serious challenge for the country's planners and policy-makers. Regional-oriented development planning which would effectively counteract this process is impeded by structural weaknesses inherent in the planning system (e. g. lack of district planning) and very limited financial resources.

description: Problem In order to reduce their dependence on inputs, farmers would like to build more resilient cropping systems based on innovative agro-ecological practices. This would enable a reduction in pesticide use and soil tillage. They face several barriers: The lack of knowledge adapted to the local context. This is often made worse by unvalidated theories and discussions found on social media networks; The technical and agronomical complexity of challenges, as well as social and financial risks linked to the implementation of systemic innovations at farm level; The difficulty of assessing the long-term impacts of the new system of practices on soil, crops and sustainability; The time and perseverance necessary to achieve a new profitable systemic equilibrium despite the setbacks and failures encountered. Solution Setting up a participative research group including scientists (social and agronomical), advisors (experts) and a cluster of farmers sharing the same vision (or targets). In our case: "how to reduce pesticide use and tillage intensity”. Through a collaborative agreement, every actor of the group is engaged for a minimum of 3 years to progress towards the “common vision”: “an agriculture without pesticides or soil tillage”. Each farmer provides the group with a long-term 1 ha agro-ecological experimental field (EP) chosen from within a larger field (CP). The two fields support the same crop each year, with the difference between the fields being that the practices implemented in the EP aim to reach the common vision. A sub-group composed of the farmer, agronomist and advisor take technical decisions via consensus. In return, the financial risk is distributed 50/50 between the farmer and the research institution. The scientific institution monitors the crop (seedling emergence, pest and disease occurrence, biomass production, yield) and soil (chemical, structural and biological fertility) parameters on both EP and CP fields. Different forms of group meetings are regularly organised to share and discuss the results gathered on each farm, share actors’ know-how, co-design solutions and to explore original external experiences.
The Limitations of Cross-cultural Transfer of Science and the Responsibility of the Scientist

description: "Science" is part of Western cultural history and expansion. The "Western" scientific approach based on the separation of subject and object over centuries has led to manifold constructive achievements to ease life as well as to systematic exploitation and destruction of the earth and its inhabitants. Scientists are change agents and many seriously interfere with traditional values, for better of for worse, at a speed which people cannot cope with. Today, more than before, scientists are asked to identify problems of science-based cross-cultural interaction which may be more destructive than helpful. This is as true for the fields of medical science and its applications, though less conspicious at the first glance, as for other sciences. Although the natural science paradigm of medicine is universally relevant, the practical applications of it in terms of medical care are not at all. Many sociocultural, economic, educational and political barriers exist, as well as differences in explanatory models of health, causes of disease and healing in different cultures, including the Western one. A dialogue between cultures, between sciences and humanities, is urgently meeded to make science, and scientific medicine for that matter, universally relevant to mankind.

description: More than 7,000 prison residents are released from federal institutions annually (Correctional Service Canada, 2019). Despite employment being considered critical to successful community re-entry and desistance from crime (Laub & Sampson, 1993; Visher et al., 2011; Uggen et al., 2005), formerly incarcerated individuals face stigma tied to their criminal identity that impedes their employability (Anazodo, 2019). To overcome this challenge, most formerly incarcerated individuals adopt disclosure strategies (Harding, 2003; Ricciardelli & Mooney, 2018). Building on past scholarship on desistance and disclosure, this study examined the relationship between desistance and disclosure, recognizing employment as key to the successful reintegration of the formerly federally incarcerated individuals. I employed a descriptive qualitative method to analyze the narratives of 24 formerly federally incarcerated individuals to understand their employment experiences better as they navigate their community re-entry. The study showed that disclosure and desistance influence each other as formerly incarcerated individuals navigate employment and employment seeking. Centralized in this relationship is the concept of ‘self,' demonstrated by the participants’ intrinsic motivations and desires to desist from crime by engaging in legitimate stable employment and having agency during disclosure. The study identified employment as a ‘hook’ for change but found out that other agents of change, such as social networks and employment programs, are vital for long-term positive change in behaviour. My findings support the prohibition of mandatory disclosure due to the detrimental impact of always reducing an individual to their prior identity when criminalized.
