How mature is Victorian local e-government: An overall view
Creators: name: Omar, Khayri
name: Scheepers, Helana

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The purpose of this empirical study is to analyse the level of maturity of e-government in Victorian local governments. The study will help to determine the extent to which Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) help local governments to provide citizens with more transparent and advanced services and to close the gap between the government and its citizens. Analysis of 30 local government websites was conducted using 52 evaluation variables (items) in a questionnaire. The evaluations were performed from the 1st of March to mid July 2011 on 38% of all Victorian council websites. The results of this study show that e-government initiatives in Victorian local governments have achieved considerable levels of maturity in terms of transparency and interactivity. However, this maturity is hindered by the low level of website usability. The main contribution of this study is that it provides a clear picture about how mature Victorian local government websites are.

Well productivity

description: The objective of this work was to provide more accurate models for predicting well and reservoir performance for gas condensate reservoirs by investigating near-wellbore effects and to explore ways of improving well productivity. Specifically, the effects of non-Darcy flow, changes in relative permeability due to interfacial tension, gravity and flow rate (modeled based on capillary number) and heterogeneity on well productivity were investigated. These effects are shown to be important factors affecting the productivity index (PI) of gas condensate wells. Remediation strategies for improving the PI of a well impaired by condensate dropout using injection of dry gas were also investigated. An analytical method for calculating an effective non-Darcy flow coefficient for a heterogeneous formation is presented. The method presented here can be used to calculate an effective non-Darcy flow coefficient for large gridblocks in reservoir simulators. Based on this method, it is shown that the non-Darcy flow coefficient for a heterogeneous formation is larger than the non-Darcy flow coefficient for an equivalent homogeneous formation. This result was confirmed using numerical simulations with fine grids. Sensitivity studies of non-Darcy flow effects on the productivity of a single gas condensate well indicate that when only non-Darcy effects are considered, the condensate bank near the well can cause an order of magnitude reduction in the PI. Hence, immediate remediation steps might be necessary for formations with a high non-Darcy flow coefficient. The reduction in PI with increasing non-Darcy flow coefficient is non-linear. Careful comparisons of relative permeability data at various capillary numbers with a capillary trapping model show that these data can be matched with a simple two-parameter model. A compositional simulation study of a single well with a capillary number included was done. The relative permeability improvement obtained at high capillary numbers counteracts the PI reduction due to non-Darcy flow effects. This effect reduces the drop in PI due to condensate buildup and makes the drop in PI more gradual. Hence, both effects should be considered while studying the production performance of a gas condensate reservoir. The capillary number effect is often found to completely overshadow the two-phase non-Darcy effects. A case study of a lean-gas well similar to those in the Arun field was considered and a history match of the production data was performed. Simulation results are presented which clearly show that accurate prediction of PI based on laboratory measurements is possible using both non-Darcy and capillary number effects. The effect of heterogeneity was demonstrated using simulations of various stochastically generated permeability fields.

Political Alterity in Pathé’s French and British Newsreel Coverage of the May 1968 Events in Paris
Creators: name: Clucas, Tom
Publisher: name: On_Culture
Year: 2017

description: This article analyzes the use of alterity in Pathé’s British and French newsreels depicting the May 1968 events in Paris. It argues that items from both newsreels construct the viewers’ country as a center of civilized democracy, using various figures of alterity (including voiceover, dubbing, camera techniques, cuts, and other forms of editing) to distance those at home from the scenes of violence on the streets of Paris. The French newsreel presents Charles de Gaulle as a democratic leader and blames naïve students in the Latin Quarter for inflaming violent sentiments among the impressionable “ordinary workers.” By contrast, the British newsreel presents the French government as failing to control a warlike mob with unreasonable demands. Though they frame the divisions along different lines, the items from both newsreels use alterity to differentiate their audiences from the protestors on the street and to place the responsibility for the riots far from home.

Simulation model

description: Pseudofunctions used in scaled up reservoir simulation models depend on the geology, recovery process and fluid velocities. Accurate pseudofunctions can be derived in every section of the reservoir model to be coarsened by expensive fine-scale simulations with appropriate boundary conditions. Experimental design and response surface modeling provide an accurate and much cheaper framework for calculating effective properties. Effective properties are calculated at a few chosen points (the design) by simulating flow with a fine grid. Best-fit polynomials can be computed using response surface methods. Models based on outcrop exposures of the Frewens Sandstone, a fluvial-deltaic deposit in Central Wyoming are upscaled using response surfaces with few fine scale simulations. Uncertainty in effective properties and their sensitivity to factors in the reservoir description can be accurately and inexpensively investigated using response surfaces. Probability distributions of the effective properties are derived by conducting Monte Carlo simulations with the response surfaces
The Non-Human as Such
Creators: name: Timofeeva, Oxana
Publisher: name: On_Culture
Year: 2016

description: The article investigates a dialectic that, through the work of negation, paradoxically brings the non-human as ‘anything but human’ back to the human. It shows how and why, throughout the criticism of all forms of anthropocentrism, the human being still occupies a central place in the very discourse that negates him. His principal position only changed its value from а positive to а negative one. If there is something in common among all possible non-human things in the world, it is their negative determination with regards to the human. While being actively denied, ‘human’ thus remains a main constitutive element of their identity, a kind of general equivalent, whose ontological status is highly problematic and therefore particularly interesting.

description: The technology of Web 2.0 and especially social media has opened new avenues for creating communities online. Marketing to such communities can lead to better communication between consumers and those producing the product. By engaging communities online those who market film and television shows can use this new avenue to better communicate with their fans and build better communities. Through the study of three online fan pages on Facebook this paper observed how television and film companies are using this environment to market to their audience as well as what is working well and where improvement can be made.
title: The Impact of Appreciative Inquiry on Trust and Collaboration: A practitioner research study
Creators: name: Guevara, C
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2016

description: This research project aimed to review the relationship between two student support departments pivotal to the enrollment process at an Art and Design university in the Southwestern region of the United States. The purpose of this project was to utilize the Appreciative Inquiry (AI) framework as a model for building collaboration and increasing levels of trust between these two interrelated departments. Five individuals engaged in this four-month study and participated in an Appreciative Inquiry workshop designed to reveal the positive core relationship between these two departments. The workshop functioned as a platform for dialogue between these two departments. Through conversation, members of each team sought to discover key elements to success, dream about the ideal environment, design the paradigm for this ideal environment and then commit to the destiny identified as a collective team. Participants were also asked to keep a reflective journal of team interaction after the workshop. The researcher conducted interviews with the participants, as well as monitoring interaction through the use of record sheets during meetings. Each of these data collection strategies revealed the impact of Appreciative Inquiry from both an individual and collective perspective. The data collected during this research were analyzed to identify (a) whether there is a perceived connection between the use of AI and the development of trust, (b) whether AI contributed to a stronger sense of collaboration between these two departments, (c) whether improvements were identified, and how far those improvements in trust resulted in stronger collaborations and combined ownership for results. Throughout all data collected, three themes emerged that resonated with the participants, trust, collaboration and productivity. Based on these emergent themes, there appears to be indication of a positive relationship between the Appreciative Inquiry framework and the impact on trust and collaboration, leading to greater productivity for the five participants in this study. The applicable lessons from this project will be a resource for other higher education managers responsible for collaboration between essential student support teams.

description: This study focuses on the adsorption behavior of typical dyestuffs (methylene blue and reactive black 5) on hollow activated carbon fibers (ACFs) obtained from Kapok- and Hasuo-seed based biomass. It was found that the adsorption of dyestuffs on ACFs increased with increasing pH and temperature. In addition, the Hasuo-seed based ACFs showed higher adsorption capacities than the Kapok-seed based ACFs for dyestuffs. It was also determined from the adsorption energy distribution results that the ACFs are having energetically heterogeneous surfaces. The results clearly indicated that the prepared ACF in this study could efficiently remove dyes dissolved in water.
Internal organizational factors influencing sustainable implementation of information systems: Experiences from a local government in Indonesia

description: Many information systems (IS) studies have found that information systems implementation sustainability is determined by internal organizational factors. In general these studies have been conducted in private organizations and these factors may not be applicable to IS implementations sustainability within public organizations. This study examines what internal organizational factors play a role in the sustainable implementation of e-government initiatives using a case study of local e-government in Indonesia. It also considers how these factors contribute to sustainable systems by strengthening stakeholders’ commitment through invoking feelings of involvement as responsibilities are assigned to them. The study concludes that the internal factors contribute to collective action that influences sustainable implementation of information systems. Limitations and future research are briefly discussed.
Emergent Emergencies in Complex Ecosystems
Creators: name: Scherr, Alexander
Publisher: name: On_Culture
Year: 2016

description: This article argues that ‘emergent emergencies’ in complex natural systems or ‘ecosystems’ can be understood as the ethical consequences of cognitive failure or “epistemological error” (Gregory Bateson). More specifically, I hold that complex systems display emergent behaviors, and that narrative cognition is not particularly well suited for understanding emergence. Building on previous narratological work on the incompatibility of narrative and emergence (H. Porter Abbott, Richard Walsh), I argue that narrative thinking and complex systems are each characterized by distinct types of ‘agency,’ or ways of conceptualizing agency. In its second half, the essay turns to Michael Crichton’s classic Jurassic Park (1990), reading the novel as a fictional thought experiment which not only simulates an emergency situation, but also explores the reasons for the collapsing of the control system in the fictional theme park from the vantage of chaos theory. It will be shown that the emergent emergency staged in the novel is the result of cognitive failure on the part of the park managers, who are misled by a ‘narrative of centralized control’ (Abbott) in their attempts to control the park and a reductionist conceptualization of ‘life.’ Such reductionist approaches to life are contrasted with ecological frameworks in this article.

Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Phallus. (A Part of War According to Stanley Kubrick)
Creators: name: Toledo, Michel
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2011

description: This article offers a critical reading of Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964), directed by Stanley Kubrick, focusing on its satirical approach and portrayal of masculinity during the Cold War. Through an analysis of its characters and power dynamics, the article argues that the film employs dark comedy to reveal the absurdity of war logic, male authoritarianism, and the death drive inherent in military discourse. The text emphasizes how Kubrick crafts a sharp critique of militarism through phallic symbolism, gender stereotypes, and grotesque situations that expose the fragility of masculine power in the face of self-destruction.
Adoption of social media in victorian local governments

Year: 2024

description: The use of the Internet and social media tools by Australians has increased significantly over the last five years. Social media tools provide local governments with the opportunity to inform, serve and interact with their constituents on a level not previously possible. This paper uses a mixed method approach to firstly review current use of social media tools by Victorian local governments and secondly interview elected officials and administrators of four Victorian local councils about barriers to the adoption of social media tools. The results show that while 59 Victorian local governments (74%) are utilizing at least one social media tool, there are 20 councils (25%) that still do not utilize social media tools. The interviews indicate that the main barriers hindering social media implementations are: uncertainty, fear of risk, lack of knowledge and experience, lack of resources, lack of trust and, the culture of government. The main contribution of this study is a review of the current level of adoption of social media tools by Victorian local governments and identifies a number of barriers that prevent local government from fully utilizing the advantages of social media tools. Currently most Victorian local governments use social media to disseminate information.
Challenging the global, rediscovering the local: Voluntary market restriction in C2C emarketplaces
Creators: name: Stockdale, Rosemary

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The current age of networked information systems brings concerns that in an increasingly global world the dominance of multinational corporations overrides regional and national identities. This view is challenged by the concept of glocalisation where ideas in the global environment are adapted to take account of local cultures. Many organisations operating globally seek to adapt their business strategies to fit with local environments. However, in an increasingly glocalized world organisations may curtail their market by forming boundaries around their online presence; in essence making local what is potentially global. We have identified this strategy of boundedness as 'voluntary market restriction'. This study aims to examine voluntary market restriction in the consumer-to-consumer (C2C) space where online marketplaces are differentiating themselves by creating boundaries within which they embed communities. This paper examines three C2C e-marketplaces with strong similarities in their market mechanisms that have the potential to operate globally, although two have chosen not to do so. These two market makers have put boundaries around their markets; one by language and one by geography. They have succeeded in wresting considerable local market share from the global e-marketplace. The paper concludes by discussing the implications of the research and suggestions for future study.
The Experience of Migration: From Metaphor to Metamorphosis

description: In media, political and lay representations of migrants it remains frequently the case that metaphors are systematically used in racist and demeaning manners, though also, occasionally, in positive ways empathizing with the plight of refugees, migrant communities and the sans papiers. In this piece, however, I wish to note the wider, more personal and speculative reasons as to why metaphors are so frequently used and are, it seems, so widely effective in shaping social perceptions. In late modernity, in the affluent north-west some name the migrant through demeaning metaphors in an attempt to deny their anxiety over their inessence and instability, a pushing away of the common and constant transferal in our species’ shapeshifting linguistic being of the non-linguistic. I think this with and against the use of metaphors towards a sense of metamorphosis, including through a reading of the pneumatic body in Paul.

description: According to the Gricean conception of non-natural meaning, a speaker means something when she performs an utterance whilst “intending to produce some effect in an audience by means of the recognition of this intention” (1957, p. 385). Here, I follow Keiser (2022) in proposing an alternative characterization of the speaker intention associated with meaning, wherein a speaker aims for attention-direction rather than an audience’s recognition of her intention. In particular, a speaker means m just in case they intend for an audience to attend to m. I use a technical notion of attention, drawing from Wu’s (2011, 2014) theory of attention as selection-for-action to develop a cognitively robust analysis of meaning. Along the way, I identify working memory as the substrate within which meaning-relevant effects arise in an audience. Doing so allows for a clear distinction between bare meaning, a speech act wherein a speaker intends for an audience to hold a content in mind, and further speech acts (such as assertions, directives, and questions) of which bare meaning is a proper part. After establishing this distinction, I argue that speech acts beyond meaning can be understood as involving a speaker’s intention to constrain an audience’s action. In successful cases, the audience’s prior intention to respond is updated (or fine-tuned) to correspond with the speaker’s intention. I conclude by considering unsuccessful speech acts, illustrating how the disentangling of bare meaning and further speech acts facilitates a more systematic analysis of non-ideal communication.

description: Film comes to its fore as a cultural product, which frames social experiences, relations, and is constructed through these itself. Dealing with our current global and fluid society the analysis will focus on constructions of marginalized individuals who challenge the viewers with their modulations and variations of identifications. Being (someone) evades the subject of becoming, which as an empty subject makes the potential of alternatives transparent and invites us to pursue lived connections, and not only in human-to-human relationships. Following Stuart Hall (1994), this is where a transtopian space is created, which not only collects and allows common knowledge, but also gives space to something new to emerge. The movies Mediterranea and A Ciambra by Jonas Carpignano show us a current picture of marginalized people as well as a rhizome of migration with line of flights.

Racial and Social Dimensions of Antiziganism
Creators: name: Tittel, Laura Soréna
Publisher: name: On_Culture
Year: 2020

description: Within antiziganism research, the usage of the term “gypsy” is subject of an ongoing debate. Especially in the context of police work, historians suggest that until the 1920s the image of “gypsies” mainly referred to a social status, whereas today the image is highly racialized. This article challenges the idea of a strict separation of the social and racial dimensions and takes a closer look at the different argumentations of how to rule the interrelated groups of “gypsies” and “vagabonds” in the history of ideas. For this reason, it examines Kant’s statements on “gypsies” in the context of his problematic race theory as well as Marx’s treatment of vagabondage as a social issue, arising with the beginning of manufacturing. With this, the article connects two major discourses in political theory and the history of ideas, one on barbarism/civilization and another on poverty, with the topic of antiziganism and explores the connection of an antiziganist racialization with socioeconomic structures. Moreover, it examines the empirical side of antiziganism in the context of policing until the eighteenth century, looking at English and German legislative sources, and provides an outlook on the underlying social and racial argumentation in current debates on so-called ‘poverty migration’.

description: In 2019, reports of a raft of pumice adrift in the Pacific Ocean circulated. We track its movement through surveillance technologies — tools of control that buttress turbulent and shifting contemporary borders. Our consideration of the movement of people across porous borders apprehends migratory discourse and critiques framings of abjectness, fear, and colonial reperformance in an Australian context. Security and surveillance, and the littoral composition of Australian borders figure as means of maintaining and reinforcing fixed, terrestrial constructions of sovereignty. Recent border polices involving stratified spaces of offshore detention become bureaucratic and inhumane extensions of the littoral sphere — convergences of the smooth and stratified, that invert, yet reinforce colonial control and persecution. Framed by Deleuzoguattarian notions and our ongoing research project, Ecological Gyre Theory, we see overlaps, collisions, and parallels between the pumice raft as agentic, ecological force, and legacies of invasion and colonisation, reperformed onto people and landscapes. Considering the agentic power of bodies, we read the traversal of the sea by both raft and asylum seekers towards a critique of Australian history and cultural identity. Our critique endorses both a decolonial and New Materialist approach, exploring ecology and being amidst climate collapse and a rapidly changing world.

Employment of women living in public housing: Results from a longitudinal study
Creators: name: Saugeres, Lise

description: Qualitative research suggests that women living in public housing recognise the potential benefits of paid work including having more money, developing skills and improving self-esteem, but face significant practical barriers to getting and sustaining paid work. These include poor or uncertain health, caring responsibilities for children and the transport and other difficulties associated with living in some places. Importantly, taking up paid work is not just a question of money, but women weigh up the effects more broadly on family health and wellbeing (Hulse and Saugeres 2007). A similar range of factors was identified in similar qualitative research in the UK (Fletcher et al. 2008). Little is known about why, and how, a quarter of female public housing tenants do engage in paid work despite these barriers. This paper reports on one study that investigated this issue using a longitudinal research design. Whether and how women living in public housing can move into paid work, and the effects of this on them and their families, may seem at face value a very specific issue. However, as we shall see in the next section, investigating this issue both draws on, and contributes to, rich veins of research about issues that are at the centre of modern life: experiences of paid work, the logistics of managing work and caring, work and dealing with a disability or a health problem, and cultural beliefs about work and mothering that pose challenges for both welfare reform and social inclusion strategies. The paper proceeds as follows. First, we provide a conceptual framework drawing on three disparate strands in the literature: on public housing and employment; gender and the labour market; and cultural attitudes about working and caring. Second, we outline the research design and methods for longitudinal study of female public housing tenants in paid work at the outset of the study. Third, we present some findings on outcomes for women who did reenter paid work and the ways in which they were able to face, and in some cases manage, persisting obstacles and constraints. We conclude by examining some implications for our understanding of the role of work in addressing poverty and disadvantage.

description: In professional activities, the skill to efficiently manage your time plays a vital role. Professional activity is a long-term process where time is a critical and nonrenewable resource. Efficient time management ensures life strategies in situations of uncertainty and determines time prioritization in professional fulfillment (K.A. Abul’hanova, A.K. Bolotova). Time remains an important reserve of mental personal organization; however, it is very rarely used. When social development and the rate of activities intensifies the problem of procrastination becomes of practical significance. It becomes necessary to work under difficult time constraints, delay task fulfillment, reallocate time priorities and time limits in situations of interpersonal and professional communication (A.K. Bolotova, 2007). Rational use of lifetime, orientation on future time perspectives (F. Zimbardo, 2010), looming professional horizons and personal growth leads to high career achievements. Today, the study of personal capacity and career opportunities assumes research of time perspectives and activities strategies. However, the amount of these studies in modern psychology is not enough.

description: 3-Substituted and 3,4-disubstituted pyrroline nitroxides containing an ethynyl group or two ethynyl groups were achieved by the reaction of a paramagnetic aldehydes with dimethyl (1-diazo-2-oxopropyl)phosphonate (Bestmann–Ohira reagent). The new compounds containing an ethynyl group were found to be useful building blocks in Sonogashira coupling, cyclization, and cycloaddition reactions producing potentially “azido-specific” cross-linking spin labels, paramagnetic ligands, and polyradical scaffolds.

Slow burn: The changing profile of low-moderate income home purchasers in Australia
Creators: name: Hulse, Kathleen

Publisher: name: Swinburne

description: The decline in home ownership rates in New Zealand has been well documented. In Australia, however, there has not been any remarkable change in rates despite substantial economic and social changes since the early 1980s, but by examining changes within the population of home purchasers, comparing 1981-82 and 2007-08, we can identify some important and potentially worrying trends of social and policy significance. The lag effect associated with home ownership as households repay mortgages over 25 years or more means those small changes discernible in any one year may compound over time to produce significant changes in patterns of home ownership in Australia. The paper reports on a detailed examination of home ownership, household income and household type using data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics Survey of Income and Housing 1981-82 and 2007 08. The paper outlines the quite different household income and household type profiles of outright owners and home purchasers comparing 1981-82 and 2007-08. When we look specifically at the income profile of low-moderate income home purchasers (lowest 40% of all purchaser households), we find that the threshold income for purchase has increased and that rates of purchase have been sustained through large mortgages with repayments which exceed established affordability benchmarks, particularly in the case of recent purchasers. It also appears that families with children have been squeezed out of the home purchase market due to their higher living expenses compared to single and couple households. Finally, many purchasers face repaying loans at a later age, which may not be a problem for some households in view of policies to encourage people to work for longer, but others will face the problem of having a mortgage as their income earning potential declines and even into retirement.
The Politics of Housing Metaphors
Creators: name: Mackowitz, Laurin
name: Lorenz, Daniel
Publisher: name: On_Culture
Year: 2020

description: Political metaphors condition social reality and mediate authority. One repeatedly used metaphor in discourses about migration and refuge is the misconception that ‘the state is a house.’ Far from only defining the modalities of inclusion and exclusion, metaphors of houses and housing evoke patriarchal political relationships between guests and hosts, homeless and homeowners, the household’s head and his subjects, and the man and his women. Houses present themselves to us in ambiguous, even contradictory ways in that they both shelter and imprison. Furthermore, in spite of a general need for accommodation the state fails to provide material housing, only feigning the imagination of security. Therefore, ‘housing’ appears to be a key paradox of nationalist and chauvinist discourse. Figurative language is, however, unfinished, which is why our images of houses, charged with the theology, anthropology, politics, and language of foundations, buildings, and walls, may be challenged by critique and interpretation. Developing a critical metaphorology, committed to analyzing the framed arguments and underlying contexts of said discourses justifying patriarchy and nationalism, we describe the choice between inhabiting and abandoning ‘the house.’ Ultimately, we present counter-narratives about decaying structures of power and propose ways to take ‘housing’ issues to the streets.

Automated traffic classification and application identification using machine learning

description: The dynamic classification and identification of network applications responsible for network traffic flows offers substantial benefits to a number of key areas in IP network engineering, management and surveillance. Currently such classifications rely on selected packet header fields (e.g. port numbers) or application layer protocol decoding. These methods have a number of shortfalls e.g. many applications can use unpredictable port numbers and protocol decoding requires a high amount of computing resources or is simply infeasible in case protocols are unknown or encrypted. We propose a novel method for traffic classification and application identification using an unsupervised machine learning technique. Flows are automatically classified based on statistical flow characteristics. We evaluate the efficiency of our approach using data from several traffic traces collected at different locations of the Internet. We use feature selection to find an optimal feature set and determine the influence of different features.
