description: From the moment small consumer cameras became available in Australia in the early twentieth century, Ngarrindjeri people embraced photography as a means to record their history, and represent their families, aesthetic traditions, and world views against the perilous times of attempted assimilation by the state, including the rampant forced removal of Aboriginal children that came to be known as the Stolen Generations.
For the first time such a large body of photographs had been shared outside a deeply protective family context. Previously, the photographs were preserved in albums, picture frames, biscuit tins, and timeworn suitcases across the various locales where Ngarrindjeri live, some making their way onto tablets and mobile devices. Many had survived the ravages of fires and floods and the enforced movements by governments over three-quarters of a century.
This collection of digitised rare historical photographs, taken by Ngarrindjeri photographers and retained in Ngarrindjeri families, operates both as a rich counter archive to colonial representations and settler memory, and as esteemed cultural objects capable of drawing the weight of the ancestral past into the present moment, tangibly enlivening cultural and spiritual connections generationally today.

description: Within the domain of HR process research, one of the most prominent theories to explain how HR practices influence organizational performance is Bowen and Ostroff’s (2004) HR strength model. Based on the covariation principle of Kelley’s (1967; 1973) attribution theory, HR strength explains how three meta-features of an HRM system—distinctiveness, consistency and consensus—influence employees’ collective responses to the HR system. While Bowen and Ostroff construed HR strength as an organizational-level construct, it has mainly been studied as employee perceptions of the three meta-features. In this paper, we discuss three previous reviews of HR strength and examine the validity criteria of 41 empirical quantitative studies of HR strength. Theoretical implications are discussed in the last section of the paper.

State tactics of welfare benefit minimisation: The power of governing documents
Creators: name: Cook, Kay
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This article draws on interviews with 41 Australian separated mothers, and the government forms, information and instructions used to administer their child support and benefit entitlements, to reveal four tactics through which women’s decision-making was coordinated to produce financial benefits to the state. The state pursued its preferred outcome by foregrounding women’s obligation to seek and collect child support, while at the same time, information on alternative choices was made deliberately opaque – making the state’s foregrounded option more likely. If women were entitled to, or sought, options that lay outside the default choice, the onus was on them to investigate, instigate and persevere with what was made to be a deliberately onerous and opaque process. As a result, the administration of Australian child support policy perpetuated low-income women’s experiences of economic and social inequity, entrenching the feminisation of poverty in single parent families.

description: In studying a potential disease-modifying treatment for Alzheimer’s Disease, the use of currently available symptomatic medicines—being proportional to the disease progression—can mask the disease-modifying effect. A solution in line with the Estimand framework is to adopt a hypothetical strategy for the intercurrent event “initiation of symptomatic treatment”. However, there is no consensus on reliable estimators for estimands adopting this strategy. To evaluate the performance of several candidate estimators, we have (i) designed clinically realistic data-generating mechanisms based on causal Directed Acyclic Graphs; (ii) selected potentially adequate estimators, amongst other, g-estimation methods usually employed to estimate “controlled direct effect” in mediation analysis; (iii) simulated 10,000 trials for six plausible scenarios and compared the performance of the estimators. The results of our simulations demonstrate that ignoring the intercurrent event introduces a bias compared to the true value of the target estimand. In contrast, g-estimation methods are unbiased, retain nominal power, and control the Type-I error rate at the intended level. Our results can be extrapolated, from a qualitative (absence or presence of bias) but not quantitative point of view (magnitude of the bias), to clinical scenarios with a similar underlying causal structure.

description: The evolution of a dark matter halo in a dark matter only simulation is governed purely by Newtonian gravity, making a clean testbed to determine what halo properties drive its fate. Using machine learning, we predict the survival, mass loss, final position, and merging time of subhaloes within a cosmological N-body simulation, focusing on what instantaneous initial features of the halo, interaction, and environment matter most. Survival is well predicted, with our model achieving 94.25 per cent out-of-bag accuracy using only three model inputs (redshift, subhalo-to-host-halo mass ratio, and the impact angle of the subhalo into its host) taken at the time immediately before the subhalo enters its host. However, the mass loss, final location, and merging times are much more stochastic processes, with significant errors between true and predicted quantities for much of our sample. Only five inputs (redshift, impact angle, relative velocity, and the masses of the host and subhalo) determine almost all of the subhalo evolution learned by our models. Generally, subhaloes that enter their hosts at a mid-range of redshifts (z = 0.67–0.43) are the most challenging to make predictions for, across all of our final outcomes. Subhalo orbits that come in more perpendicular to the host are easier to predict, except for in the case of predicting disruption, where the opposite appears to be true. We conclude that the detailed evolution of individual subhaloes within N-body simulations is difficult to predict, pointing to a stochasticity in the merging process. We discuss implications for both simulations and observations.

Subjects: classificationCode: 330316
subject: Visual communication design (incl. graphic design)

description: This exhibition of ‘pad ads’ from Australian women’s magazines has been curated to question how graphic design can perpetuate or diminish the stigma surrounding periods.
One hundred ‘pad ads’ from 1920 to 2020 will lead the audience to question the role of the designer in creating a shameful or liberating world for consumers. Visual communicators have an ethical obligation to not only design the world they want but to design a world for marginalised voices. This Melbourne Design Week event encourages designers to question and address harmful norms in their work. It also encourages the public to think about their attitudes towards periods by questioning feelings of shame and secretive behaviours.
Opening night included a discussion with Jamal Hakim and designers Amber Bonney and Reg Abos and performance from drag queen Bae L'Amour.

Differentiation of oncocytoma from chromophobe renal cell carcinoma (RCC): can novel molecular biomarkers help solve an old problem?
Creators: name: Rajandram, Retnagowri
Publisher: name: figshare
Year: 2014
Subjects: Pathology

description: Standard treatment of renal neoplasms remains surgical resection, and nephrectomy for localised renal cell carcinoma (RCC) still has the best chance of cure with excellent long-term results. For smaller renal masses, especially stage T1a tumours less than 4 cm, nephron-sparing surgery is often employed. However, small incidentally detected renal masses pose an important diagnostic dilemma as a proportion of them may be benign and could be managed conservatively. Renal oncocytoma is one such lesion that may pose little risk to a patient if managed with routine surveillance rather than surgery. Additionally, lower-risk RCC, such as small chromophobe RCC, may be managed in a similar way, although with more caution than the renal oncocytomas (RO). The ability to differentiate ROs from chromophobe RCCs, and from other RCCs with a greater chance of metastasis, would guide the physician and patient towards the most appropriate management, whether nephron-sparing surgical resection or conservative surveillance. Consistent accurate diagnosis of ROs is likely to remain elusive until modern molecular biomarkers are identified and applied routinely. This review focuses on the differentiation of renal oncocytomas and chromophobe RCCs. It summarises the history, epidemiology and clinical presentation of the renal neoplasms, explains the diagnostic dilemma, and describes the value, or not, of current molecular markers that are in development to assist in diagnosis of the renal neoplasms.

Subjects: Pharmacology

description: rthosiphon stamineus as medicinal plant is commonly used in Malaysia for treatment of hepatitis and jaundice; in this study, the ethanol extracts were applied to evaluate the hepatoprotective effects in a thioacetamide-induced hepatotoxic model in Sprague Dawley rats. Five groups of adult rats were arranged as follows: Group 1 (normal control group), Group 2 Thioacetamide (TAA) as positive control (hepatotoxic group), Group 3 Silymarin as a well-known standard drug (hepatoprotective group), and Groups 4 and 5 as high and low dose (treatment groups). After 60-day treatment, all rats were sacrificed. The hepatotoxic group showed a coarse granulation on the liver surface when compared to the smooth aspect observed on the liver surface of the other groups. Histopathological study confirmed the result; moreover, there was a significant increase in serum liver biochemical parameters (ALT, AST, ALP, and Bilirubin) and the level of liver Malondialdehyde (MDA), accompanied by a significant decrease in the level of total protein and Albumin in the TAA control group when compared with that of the normal group. The high-dose treatment group (200 mg/kg) significantly restored the elevated liver function enzymes near to normal. This study revealed that 200 mg/kg extracts of O. stamineus exerted a hepatoprotective effect.

Argument marking in ditransitive alignment types
Creators: name: Haspelmath, Martin
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2001

description: In this talk, I discuss the patterns of case-marking/adpositional marking and indexing of ditransitive clauses in the world's languages, i.e. clauses with an Agent, a Recipient and a Theme argument. It distinguishes three major alignment types, indirective, secundative, and neutral, corresponding to accusative, ergative and neutral in monotransitive constructions. The alignment and coding patterns are recorded for a sample of 100 languages from around the world. Ditransitive alignment is compared with monotransitive alignment, alignment of case- marking/adpositional marking is compared to alignment of indexing, and the various coding types are distinguished, depending on the occurrence of zero-coding and overt coding. Seven cross-linguistic generalizations emerging from the data are proposed as valid tendencies, and possible functional explanations for these tendencies are discussed.

Attitudes toward epilepsy, a systematic review
Creators: name: Kheng Seang Lim
Publisher: name: figshare
Year: 2014
Subjects: Neuroscience

description: Surveys about attitudes towards those with epilepsy have been performed since 1949, in order to understand the social stigma toward epilepsy. This review aims to demonstrate the variation in public attitudes towards epilepsy and its associated factors, with a critical review of the methodology used to examine attitudes towards epilepsy. There was marked variation of attitudes between Western and non-Western populations, and these attitudes were positively correlated with the standard of living. Besides the general public, studies were also performed within speciﬁ c groups, particularly teachers and students. However absence of a standardized questionnaire makes direct comparison difﬁ cult. A few quantitative methods were developed but these were limited by cultural variations and thus lack of global acceptance. Short-term intervention studies demonstrate an improvement of attitude with knowledge. Nonetheless, the cultural and social reasons underlying the attitudes, and how this affects the life of people with epilepsy, are understudied. Therefore, surveys on attitudes should continue to be carried out, particularly in populations prone to have negative attitudes with emphasis on underlying reasons, and such progress should be monitored longitudinally. Attitudes of people such as parents, teachers, school counselors, health care professionals, and employers, which have a direct impact on people with epilepsy, should be more extensively studied.

Dengue Infection and Miscarriage: A Prospective Case Control Study
Creators: name: Khaing, Si Lay
Publisher: name: figshare
Year: 2014
Subjects: Diseases

description: Abstract
Background: Dengue is the most prevalent mosquito borne infection worldwide. Vertical transmissions after maternal
dengue infection to the fetus and pregnancy losses in relation to dengue illness have been reported. The relationship of
dengue to miscarriage is not known.
Method: We aimed to establish the relationship of recent dengue infection and miscarriage. Women who presented with
miscarriage (up to 22 weeks gestation) to our hospital were approached to participate in the study. For each case of
miscarriage, we recruited 3 controls with viable pregnancies at a similar gestation. A brief questionnaire on recent febrile
illness and prior dengue infection was answered. Blood was drawn from participants, processed and the frozen serum was
stored. Stored sera were thawed and then tested in batches with dengue specific IgM capture ELISA, dengue non-structural
protein 1 (NS1) antigen and dengue specific IgG ELISA tests. Controls remained in the analysis if their pregnancies continued
beyond 22 weeks gestation. Tests were run on 116 case and 341 control sera. One case (a misdiagnosed viable early
pregnancy) plus 45 controls (39 lost to follow up and six subsequent late miscarriages) were excluded from analysis.
Findings: Dengue specific IgM or dengue NS1 antigen (indicating recent dengue infection) was positive in 6/115 (5?2%)
cases and 5/296 (1?7%) controls RR 3?1 (95% CI 1?0–10) P = 0?047. Maternal age, gestational age, parity and ethnicity were
dissimilar between cases and controls. After adjustments for these factors, recent dengue infection remained significantly
more frequently detected in cases than controls (AOR 4?2 95% CI 1?2–14 P = 0?023).
Interpretation: Recent dengue infections were more frequently detected in women presenting with miscarriage than in
controls whose pregnancies were viable. After adjustments for confounders, the positive association remained.

description: Although retraining and repeat fit-testing are needed for respirator users, the optimal frequency is uncertain. The persistence of proper respirator donning/doffing techniques and changes in quantitative fit factor over 6 months after initial training were measured in this study. Initial training was designed for rapid rollout situations in which direct contact with well-trained occupational health professionals may be infeasible. Subjects (n = 175) were assigned randomly to use either a filtering facepiece N95 (FFR) or dual cartridge half facemask (HFM) respirator. Each was assigned randomly to one of three training methods—printed brochure, video, or computer-based training. Soon after initial training, quantitative fit and measures of proper technique were determined. These measurements were repeated 6 months later. In the six-month followup, subjects were randomized to receive either a brief reminder card or a placebo card. Total performance score, major errors, and quantitative fit all became significantly worse at 6 months. An individual's result soon after training was the most important predictor of performance 6 months later. There was a marginal not statistically significant tendency for those initially trained by video to have better protection 6 months later. The study suggests that persons who use respirators intermittently should be thoroughly retrained and reevaluated periodically.[Supplementary materials are available for this article.

description: Excerpt from the report: Output per man-hour for all employees in factories processing farm food products increased about 56 percent from 1947-49 to 1963, according to preliminary estimates. Thus, only about two-thirds as many man-hours as were needed a decade and a half ago were required per unit of output in 1963; and the current product "mix" includes a much larger variety of products with more processing services per unit. Except for a slight decline in 1948, output per man-hour increased in each of the 16 years since 1947.

description: Generally sealing systems are designed by means of elasto-hydrodynamics. In this case, the no slip boundary condition is applied to the solid walls for solving the Reynolds equation. Nowadays engineers apply the no-slip boundary condition with the most matter of course. But in the 19th century the behaviour of fluids close to the solid wall was discussed by personalities as Stokes, Poisson, Maxwell or Navier. Navier [1] e.g. introduced a slippage factor in his derivation of the Navier-Stokes equations. In the middle of the 19th century Stokes was commissioned by the Royal Society, to discuss the issue regarding the slipping behaviour of fluids close to solid walls. And he concluded in [2] & [3] that the effect of slippage on solid walls, if it exists, was up to his time too small to measure and could be neglected. Hence for sufficiently large flow geometries the effect of wall sliding was neglected. Even today measuring the slip velocity close to solid walls is a challenging task and no general approach has figured out. This conclusion yields up to now and is sometimes treated like a principle. But in the case of sealing systems where commonly gaps are in the order of some microns and below the effect of wall slippage has to be taken into account. Experimental investigations of sealing manufacturers show that the leakage behav- iour of geometrically identical sealing systems depends on the material paring and hence on the surface energy. As a cause for the discrepancy between calculations and experimental investigations a breakdown of the no slip boundary condition is suspected.

description: This project aims to foster shared positive experiences between people living with moderate to advanced dementia and their visitors as they may struggle to find topics to talk about and engaging things to do together. To promote a better visit, we trialed a previously developed app that includes eight games with twenty-one residents and their partners or carers across four care centers for three months each. Through interviews and data logging, we found that residents preferred games that were closer to their interests and skills, and that gameplay and cooperation fostered meaningful and shared interactions between residents and their visitors. The contribution of this work is twofold: (1) insights and opportunities into dyadic interactions when using an app and into promoting positive social experiences through technology design, and (2) reflections on the challenges of evaluating the benefits of technology for people living with dementia.

description: Passive emissions of sound by bubbles provide potentially useful data in many natural and engineered systems. Bubble-acoustic data are used to predict the severity of volcanic eruptions, identify undersea gas seeps, and measure ocean wave breaking. In these natural cases, and in many chemical engineering and metallurgical processes, statistics on the bubble size are sought; the bubble size controls the rate of gas to liquid mass transfer as well as fluid dynamical aspects such as mixing. However, owing to uncertainty in the physics generating the acoustic amplitude, bubble-size determination remain essentially empirical, requiring an threshold to select data. The impact of various thresholding and data-windowing techniques is discussed. Examples are given on the data from a chemical engineering aerator, a plunging jet, and a case in which diagnostic statistics can be used to identify the threshold giving the optimum sensitivity and specificity for detecting the breaking of wind-waves. Once found, the optimum threshold can be used to infer relevant physics from the acoustic signal alone.
Around the World with the Sorcerer of Exidy

Publisher: name: Swinburne

description: In an analysis of international computer user group newsletters, the authors explore locative dimensions of the use and reception of the Exidy Sorcerer microcomputer. They find that while user groups began with a hyper-local focus, they rapidly acquired regional and international readers with their editors entering into formal networks of reciprocal exchange to share content that was in perpetually short supply. This international growth often came at a cost to newsletter founders and brought them into contact with the challenges of international communication in the pre-Internet era. By design, the Sorcerer’s specialised programmable graphics architecture made graphics “as easy to use as text,” and the archive reveals how users exploited this technical affordance to undertake word processing and microcomputing in languages other than English.

Assessing Residents’ Perceptions of Their Relocation to Long-Term Care: Psychometric Validation of the View of Relocation Scale
Creators: name: Davison, Tanya
name: Busija, Lucy
name: McCabe, Marita
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Objectives: Relocation to long-term care is a major challenge for older people. The View of Relocation Scale (VRS) was developed to address the need for a brief instrument to assess residents’ perceptions of the relocation. Design: Secondary analysis of data collected in a cluster randomized trial. The psychometric properties of the VRS examined in this study included factorial structure (using exploratory factor analysis), unidimensionality (Rasch modeling), internal consistency reliability (Kuder-Richardson Formula 20, squared multiple correlations, and item-total correlations), and known groups validity (analysis of variance). The results were used to identify the psychometrically most robust items for inclusion into the final version of the instrument. Setting and Participants: Participants were 202 long-term care residents in Melbourne, Australia (mean age = 85.52 years, standard deviation = 7.33), who had relocated to the facility a mean of 4.4 weeks previously. Residents with moderately severe and severe dementia were excluded. Measures: The VRS was developed following a review of the literature describing residents’ views of relocation and was designed for administration shortly after their relocation. Results: There was support for a 2-factor, 10-item solution, with separate subscales assessing Perceived Control (degree of control in the decision making and planning for the relocation) and Perceived Need (perceived need for the relocation to long-term care). Participants who were admitted directly from hospital reported higher perceived need but lower perceived control than those admitted to the facility from home. Conclusion and Implications: The VRS can be used to understand the impact of older people's perceptions of relocation to long-term care on their subsequent adjustment and well-being, and to identify those who may benefit from tailored support.

description: Marine regional Sediment Quality Guidelines (SQG) for polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) from the Basque coast (SE Bay of Biscay) were determined, on the basis of sediment chemistry, toxicity and benthic community disturbance from analysis of 756 estuarine and coastal samples. The SQG were calculated using a percentile approach (based upon effect and non-effect data), using non-normalised and normalised concentration, by total organic carbon. However, normalisation by total organic carbon did not result in any improvement in accuracy compared with non-normalised values. Hence, this study proposes non-normalised SQG values for assessment of the chemical and physicochemical status in marine waters in the Basque Country, within the Water Framework Directive: 24.6–29 μg kg−1 for total PCBs; 164–285 μg kg−1 for low molecular weight PAH; 922–1537 μg kg−1 for high molecular weight PAH; and 1607–2617 μg kg−1 for total PAH.

description: Imagine a hybrid medium combining telepathy, television and apiary. A medium of the occult dithering in an interstitial space somewhere between vaporware, fiction and the Internet. It can transmit pictures of the dead and transport the living into the past, into a pre-lapsarian Eden, where the dead write themselves as poems in an ancient, dead language. To us they appear as letters of the alphabet and the photons that give us television images. But also as the noise made by bees. And not just any bees, but specialty bees from Mesopotamia. Such is the medium discovered by Jacob Maker, beekeeper and designer of flight simulators, narrator and protagonist of David Blair's 'Wax or the discovery of television among the bees' (1991).

description: Since the inception of the Information Systems (IS) discipline scholars have questioned and debated what constitutes the domain of IS research. Diversity is not simply desirable it is essential for a discipline that demands understanding of both information technology and contexts of application. The pervasive use of information technology, throughout the economy and society, together with the volatility in interest and support for the discipline, have made the defining of the domain of IS more than just of academic interest. For ACIS for 2009 we seek not to look back at what the IS domain has been, but to look forward to what it is to become. We seek to examine the definition of the IS discipline not by reflecting on where the IS discipline came from, but by exhibiting research at the forefront of where the discipline is heading into the future.

Theory of pseudomodes in quantum optical processes

description: This paper deals with non-Markovian behavior in atomic systems coupled to a structured reservoir of quantum electromagnetic field modes, with particular relevance to atoms interacting with the field in high-Q cavities or photonic band-gap materials. In cases such as the former, we show that the pseudomode theory for single-quantum reservoir excitations can be obtained by applying the Fano diagonalization method to a system in which the atomic transitions are coupled to a discrete set of (cavity) quasimodes, which in turn are coupled to a continuum set of (external) quasimodes with slowly varying coupling constants and continuum mode density. Each pseudomode can be identified with a discrete quasimode, which gives structure to the actual reservoir of true modes via the expressions for the equivalent atom-true mode coupling constants. The quasimode theory enables cases of multiple excitation of the reservoir to now be treated via Markovian master equations for the atom-discrete quasimode system. Applications of the theory to one, two, and many discrete quasimodes are made. For a simple photonic band-gap model, where the reservoir structure is associated with the true mode density rather than the coupling constants, the single quantum excitation case appears to be equivalent to a case with two discrete quasimodes.
