description: The paper analyses within-fiction reflections in 250 years of literary history.
To this end, we formalised the concept of “reflective passage”, demonstrate
how our annotation categories are deduced from literary theory and derive
three subphenomena – comment, generalisation, and non-fictional speech
– that constitute literary reflection. A collaborative annotation serves (a) as
basis for the training of a neural classifier and (b) as dataset for a reception
experiment leading to the calculation of a ”reflection score”, a measurement for
the perceived reflectiveness of a textual passage. The classifier is applied to a
diachronic corpus of German-language literary fictions derived from the KOLIMO
corpus through extensive metadata enrichment and filtering. The results suggest
three boom periods of reflective passages: around 1755, 1835 and 1920 and show
effects of text length, canonisation status and authors’ sex.
Criticism can talk, and all the arts are dumb
Creators: name: Hecq, Dominique
Publisher: name: Swinburne

description: Characteristic of the contemporary creative arts scene as it is deployed in universities is a false dichotomy between theory and practice. In the larger field of Literature, this is most obvious in the polarisation of Literary Studies from Creative Writing. As the title of my paper suggests, the tension between criticism and the arts, or theory and practice, is not new. It is indeed Northrop Frye who perpetuated the New Critics’ misconception in viewing the mode of existence of the literary work as wholly selfenclosed and inaccessible to language by saying: ‘Criticism can talk, and all the arts are dumb’ (Frye 1957, 4). This paper sets out from the hypothesis that such false dichotomy is predicated upon the tension between intellectual and emotional elements in our aesthetic response to texts. It postulates that writers are first and foremost readers and hence can learn from their reading processes. It offers a brief history of this tension between intellect and emotion through the course of literary criticism and suggests that some reading paradigms may be useful to writers if informed by psychoanalysis.

description: ABSTRACT—Jurassic fishes from the Southern Hemisphere are poorly known in comparison with those of the Northern Hemisphere. The Tithonian (Late Jurassic) deposits of Argentina have yielded a rich and taxonomically diverse ichthyofauna. However, these fishes have been only partially described and need to be revised or studied. In this paper, the putative ichthyodectiform actinopterygian Notodectes argentinus is redescribed. The holotype comes from the Vaca Muerta Formation, in the southwestern part of Mendoza Province, Argentina. It consists of an incomplete, partially articulated skull in which some of the bones are preserved in three dimensions. The specimen has a unique character combination that allows us not only to diagnose the genus Notodectes but also confirm that it is a member of the actinopterygian order Pachycormiformes. At present, Notodectes represents the first endemic pachycormiform from the Southern Hemisphere and the first specimen found in Mendoza Province (northwestern region of the Neuquén Basin). Also, Notodectes is the first fast-swimming and clearly ichthyophagous pachycormid reported from the Jurassic of South America.SUPPLEMENTAL DATA—Supplemental materials are available for this article for free at www.tandfonline.com/UJVP

description: ABSTRACTExposure and risk assessments of flonicamid for applicators were performed in apple orchards in Korea. Fifteen experiments were done with two experienced applicators under typical field conditions using a speed sprayer. In this study, cotton gloves, socks, masks and dermal patches were used to monitor potential dermal exposure to flonicamid, and personal air samplers with XAD-2 resin and glass fiber filter were used to monitor potential inhalation exposure. The analytical methods were validated for the limit of detection, limit of quantitation, reproducibility, linearity of the calibration curve, and recovery of flonicamid from various exposure matrices. The results were encouraging and acceptable for an exposure study. The applicability of XAD-2 resin was evaluated via a trapping efficiency and breakthrough test. During the mixing/loading, the average total dermal exposure was 22.6 μg of flonicamid, corresponding to 4.5ċ10−5% of the prepared amount. For the spraying, the potential dermal exposure was 9.32 mg, and the ratio to applied amount was 1.9ċ10−2%. The primary exposed body parts were the thigh (2.90 mg), upper arm (1.75 mg) and lower leg (1.66 mg). By comparison, absorbable quantity of exposure was small, only 1.62 µg (3.2ċ10−6%). The margin of safety (MOS) were calculated for risk assessment, in all sets of trials, MOS > 1, indicating the exposure level of flonicamid was considered to be safe in apple orchards. Although this was a limited study, it provided a good estimate of flonicamid exposure for orchard applicators.
An international business study tour: a student perspective

description: Students with international study exposure appeal to organisations seeking employees with broader perspectives. As a result many universities seek to provide opportunities for students to differentiate themselves in this respect. An International Study Tour to Asia has been successfully operating at Swinburne University of Technology for a number of years, and anecdotal information from both the students and staff accompanying the tour is that it has been successful in exposing students to international business and different cultures, albeit at the cost of high levels of stress for some students. During 2008, a research project was initiated, where past students were interviewed to ascertain their perspectives of the professional and personal impact on them from participating in the study tour. This paper reports on the outcomes from interviews with the 2008 students. While all students felt they benefited professionally from participation in the tour, students were polarised about the level of individual scaffolding required. Students who had had no prior experience of other cultures or of international travel experienced severe culture shock and unexpectedly high levels of homesickness, indicating that these students may require additional personal support both prior to and during the tour.

description: In 2005, 25 years after independence, the Pacific island nation of Vanuatu produced its first comprehensive high-school history curriculum (Lightner & Naupa 2005). According to its authors, resources and capacity were not the only factors in the delay. Writing a national history curriculum after colonialism proved to be an inherently difficult negotiation in a community divided between Anglophone and Francophone communities, with an intricate and complex legacy of resistance and accommodation so close in the past (Lightner & Naupa 2004). For East Timor, emerging from two consecutive colonial eras, these challenges are profound (Leach 2006, 2007). This paper looks briefly at the practical and symbolic challenges facing history curriculum developers, some historiographical debates over writing postconflict history, and concludes with some recommendations.
A qualitative social network analysis of a biomedical case study: recruitment and the strength of weak ties
Creators: name: Thompson, Lyndal-Joy

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This paper provides a brief overview of knowledge diffusion theory and how it has been applied to innovation. We question whether diffusion theory is appropriate in this context and suggest that science commercialisation is a complex area for which linear diffusion approaches are neither appropriate nor effective for examining knowledge exchange between research and industry network participants. Social network analysis (SNA) is adopted and qualitative analysis is used to explore how SNA might be useful to understanding successful innovation pathways. A case study from an Australian public research organisation (PRO), the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), is presented to examine how a network analysis of participants can highlight the innovation trajectory taken by a biomedical product developed by CSIRO. The role of 'weak ties‘ as recruiters and key players in moving this project forward is highlighted.

Modelling earthquake ground motions by stochastic method
Creators: name: Lam, Nelson
name: Wilson, John
name: Tsang, Hing Ho
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The prediction of earthquake ground motions in accordance with recorded observations from past events is the core business of engineering seismology. An attenuation model presents values of parameters characterising the intensities and properties of ground motions estimated of projected earthquake scenarios (which are expressed in terms of magnitude and distance). Empirical attenuation models are developed from regression analysis of recorded strong motion accelerograms. In situations where strong motion data are scarce the database of records has to cover a very large area which may be an entire continent (eg. Ambrasey model for Europe) or a large part of a continent (eg. Toro model for Central & Eastern North America) in order that the size of the database has statistical significance (Toro et al., 1997; Ambrasey, 1995). Thus, attenuation modelling based on regression analysis of instrumental data is problematic when applied to regions of low and moderate seismicity. This is because of insufficient representative data that has been collected and made available for model development purposes. An alternative approach to attenuation modelling is use of theoretical models. Unlike an empirical model, a theoretical model only makes use of recorded data to help ascertain values of parameters in the model rather than to determine trends from scratch by regression of data. Thus, much less ground motion data is required for the modelling. Data that is available could be used to verify the accuracies of estimates made by the theoretical model. Ground motion simulations by classical wave theory provides comprehensive description of the earthquake ground motions but information that is available would typically not be sufficient as input to the simulations. The heuristic source model of Brune (1970) which defines the frequency content of seismic waves radiated from a point source is much simpler. The model has only three parameters: seismic moment, distance and the stress parameter. Combining this point source model with a number of filter functions which represent modification effects of the wave travel path and the site provides estimates for the Fourier amplitude spectrum of the motion generated by the earthquake on the ground surface. The source model (of Brune) in combination with the various filter functions are collectively known as the seismological model (Boore, 1983). Subsequent research by Atkinson and others provides support for the proposition that simulations from a well calibrated point source model are reasonably consistent with those from the more realistic finite fault models.

description: The characteristics of corporate storytelling make it an excellent medium for an organisation to connect with employees on a more personal level and can aid in the retention of information valuable to building employee engagement. Staff who are more engaged with, and have a deep trust for, their employer are more likely to feel buoyant about their work and conduct themselves in a constructive manner. This can result in employees becoming reputation champions for the organisation through the way they engage with their external stakeholders

description: Behaviour of the equilibrium interval of the wave frequency spectrum is investigated. It is argued that spectra of Phillips, Toba and Zakharov-Filonenko are consistent with each other, and transition between f-4 and f-5 subintervals is parameterised by means of field data including those obtained at short fetches from Katsiveli research tower. Role of the wave breaking, wind input and nonlinear interactions in formation of the spectrum tail is discussed.

description: In the eady 19805 the then France-based television production company DIC produced two highly influential children's cartoon series, Ulysses 31 with lapan's Tokyo Movie Shinsha (nowTMS Entertainment), and The Mysterious Cities of Gold with Japan's Studio Pierrot. Viewed today, these French-Japanese co-productions arc fascinating examples of convergent media texts, convergent not only in their production, but also in their content-combining live-action documentaries with animation, blending science fiction with classical myth and adventure stories and mixing Japanese anime with European art styles. In this paper-and through these texts - I explore ideas of convergence culnIre in the pre-digital age and the broader implications such texts carry for textual production and dissemination in the increasingly globalised world of the future.

description: The proliferation of media services enabled by digital technologies poses a serious challenge to public service broadcasting rationales based on media scarcity. Looking to the past and future, we articulate an important role that the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) might play in the digital age. We argue that historically the ABC has acted beyond its institutional broadcasting remit to facilitate cultural development and, drawing on the example of Pool (an online community of creative practitioners established and maintained by the ABC), point to a key role it might play in fostering network innovation in what are now conceptualised as the creative industries.
The cave: writing design history
Creators: name: Huppatz, Daniel
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The beginnings of design histories are inconsistent. While industrial design histories tend to begin with European industrialization in the late eighteenth or early nineteenth centuries, other design disciplines claim a longer genealogy. Art, interior design and graphic design narratives each claim the Paleolithic caves in Southern France and Spain as their mythical birthplace: Altamira, Lascaux and/or Chauvet are used as a conventional starting point in standard textbook histories. A close analysis of the beginnings of several conventional design histories provides a starting point for addressing the cave's place in design history. While historical writing is rarely considered as a poetic practice, in this article, I will examine the poetic construction of the cave as a space for both the projections of contemporary ideas about design and, more importantly, the starting point of a narrative that anxiously binds progressive civilization to specifically European cultural roots.

description: This document describes the Linked Open Terms (LOT) methodology, the methodological framework for OntoCommons. This document introduces the activities that should be performed in the ontology development process and includes recommendations and guidelines to put them into practice.The document first presents the state of the art in ontology development methodologies, including well-known and agile approaches, which are considered as the basis for the LOT methodology.Subsequently, the document introduces the additional inputs considered for the definition of LOT for OntoCommons, involving the domain-specific semantic landscape and the workshop on domain ontologies to identify current challenges and gaps in ontology development, and the demonstrators’ requirements on ontology tools and ontologies to identify existing requirements. Taking such inputs into account, an overview of LOT is presented.The LOT methodology focuses on the reuse of terms existing in published ontologies and on the publication of the ontology according to the Linked Data principles. It is an iterative methodology that includes four main activities: ontology requirement specification, ontology implementation, ontology publication, and ontology maintenance.
Faecal microbiota of individuals with autism spectrum disorder

description: Many children with autistic spectrum disorders (ASDs) suffer from gastrointestinal problems such as diarrhoea, constipation and abdominal pain. Such symptoms may be due to a disruption of the indigenous gut microbiota promoting the overgrowth of potentially pathogenic micro-organisms. These observations have stimulated investigations into possible abnormalities of intestinal microbiota in autistic patients. The purpose of the present study was to determine if a relationship exists between ASD severity (mild – severe) and GI microbial populations. The faecal microbiota of 22 male and 6 female participants with ASDs (aged 7 ± 6 years) were analyzed by standard microbial culture methods and compared within-group (based on ASD severity) and with a standard laboratory reference range. Comparisons between children with mild ASD and those with moderate to severe ASD, as well as comparisons to a neurotypical control group previously reported, revealed that no significant differences appear to exist in the composition of the gut microbiota. Nevertheless, examination of each individual’s gut microbial composition showed 10 cases of unusual findings witch means 1out of 3 cases have unusual microbiota. Our data do not support consistent GI microbial abnormalities in ASD children, but the findings do suggest that aberrations may be found in a minority subset of ASD children. Further studies are required to determine the possible association between the microbiota and gastrointestinal dysfunctions in a subset of children with both ASD and gastro-intestinal problems.
Selling myth and metaphor: the iPad and technological adoption
Creators: name: Finn, Mark

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Perhaps more than any other technology company, Apple has managed to master technology diffusion, with the release of the iPad offering a good illustration of the success of the company’s strategies. Within 60 days of the product’s release, Apple had sold over 2 million devices (Apple 2010a), and generated the kind of media hype usually reserved for visits by major international celebrities. What seems to have been forgotten in the midst of the hyperbole surrounding Apple’s ‘magical’ new product was that this was not actually a new device, but rather a reincarnation of a computing concept first explored in the early 1970s (Sharples and Beale 2003: 393). The iPad is, however, the first implementation of the tablet computing concept that has attracted widespread interest, not just from the technology-savvy, but from consumers of all ages and backgrounds. While it might be assumed that the iPad’s success can be attributed to Apple’s technological expertise, this paper argues that it is the company’s expertise in taking established principles in Human-computer Interaction (HCI) research and articulating them to ideas of personal identity that is the key to its success. As Straub argues, technology adoption is a complex, inherently social process (Straub 2010: 626), and in many cases it is a failure to recognise the social dimension of technology that inhibits the diffusion process. By exploring how this articulation of HCI principles and social identity has worked in relation to the iPad, this paper seeks to explain why this device has apparently succeeded where others have failed. In doing so, it aims to identify strategies that might be adopted by any organisation seeking to accelerate the adoption of new technology.
Resolving structure-agency dichotomy in managment research: case for adaptive theory research methodology
Creators: name: Hewege, Chandana
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This paper argues that adaptive theory research methodology can resolve structure-agency issue related to management research methods. Management phenomena are part of the social reality that is produced by continuous, circular process whereby individual behaviour (agency) creates social structure that in turn shapes individual behaviour. Quantitative research overemphasises structure whereas highly qualitative research overly focuses on individual subjectivity or agency. It is argued that in order to have a holistic understanding, both structure and agency aspects of a phenomenon need to be studied in a single research project. The paper explains the philosophical underpinnings of adaptive theory and then illustrates using experience of a recently concluded adaptive theory-based research, useful guidelines for application of this research methodology.
Understanding digital storytelling: individual 'voice' and community-building in youth media programs
Creators: name: Podkalicka, Aneta
name: Campbell, Craig
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Digital storytelling (DST) has been widely used as a means of empowerment for marginalised voices across community-based projects worldwide. This paper discusses uses but also limitations of the practice in the context of a Melbourne-based youth media program for 'youth at risk' called YouthWorx. Based on our ongoing, long-term ethnographic research, we explore the cultural production of digital stories as a co-creative process that exposes a range of controversies to do with the politics of 'voice', genre's communicative potential and ethical considerations. Concrete examples from YouthWorx's pedagogical work serve to illustrate the values of self-expression ('voice'), critical reflection and collaboration that form part of broader social transformations generated by these creative practices. The critique of DST practice offered here connects with existing studies concerned with the socially contextualised processes of media education, and the theoretical shift beyond 'the right to speak' towards 'the right to be understood' (Husband, 2009). The paper recommends more analytical attention be paid to a dynamic social process of learning (of media, interpersonal competencies) and community-building, extending beyond the immediate DST situation, rather than narrowing the focus on end-result atomised media products.

description: The urban water supply systems in Australian large cities, which generally depend on large surface water reservoirs, are highly stressed due to rapid urban growth and severe drought conditions during the current decade. To ensure the long term sustainability of urban water supply, various alternative water sources including rainwater tanks, grey water, wastewater and desalination plants are being examined in Australia. In the previous research, it has been shown that rainwater tank of appropriate size, installed in detached small dwellings, can meet a significant proportion of household water demand, but there has been limited study on water savings and financial viability of Rain Water Harvesting System (RWHS) for multistorey residential buildings. This study examines the sustainability of RWHS in multistorey residential buildings in Sydney under different scenarios such as varying roof area, number of floors in the building, water price and interest rate to identify favorable condition where RWHS proves to be sustainable. A hypothetical multistorey building was considered and various scenarios in relation to site area and floor arrangement were established. A water balance model was developed to calculate water savings for various scenarios. Finally, life cycle costing was undertaken to identify most sustainable RWHS scenario for the hypothetical multistorey building. It was found that a higher roof area is more favorable in terms of water savings and financial benefits. Capital and maintenance costs account for the majority of the expenditure of a RWHS. Plumbing cost forms the largest single component of the capital cost. It is shown that lower interest and increased water price regimes enhance the financial viability of RWHS. It was found that it is possible to achieve 'pay back' for a RWHS under some favorable scenarios and conditions thus making the RWHS for multistorey buildings in Sydney sustainable.
Beyond public access? Reconsidering broadband for remote Indigenous communities

description: Australia's Commonwealth Government communications funding programs are promoting the extension of internet services to remote Indigenous communities via shared community facilities. Meanwhile, mainstream delivery programs have largely moved on to focus on individual users. Indigenous Australians are far less likely to access the internet within the home than non-Indigenous Australians, suggesting that Australia's 'digital divide' is not simply a matter of access, but the context within which access occurs. The Commonwealth's National Broadband Strategy aims to place broadband communications at the centre of a new digital economy. As the benefits of fast Internet become more tangible, the stakes for those who do not have affordable access also increase. In this paper we set out a case for reconsidering the notions of public and private in terms of internet infrastructure, access and use. Employing policy analysis, available home internet data and a survey of community-based ICT projects, this paper investigates the relationship of broadband policy and other infrastructures, including the politics of housing and 'township', as well as economic and social factors.
Content management and digital television: technology, regulation and policy

description: The landscape of digital television is changing rapidly, with new channels, new broadband networks, and new high definition and interactive formats. This article focuses on a neglected but important feature of the new platforms: their capacity to offer novel forms of content management, that is, control over the accessibility and usability of content delivered into viewers' households. In the US the 'broadcasting flag' proposal generated considerable public controversy, while in Europe the DVB group's CPCM has continued its development. Apple's iTunes, the US networks' Hulu, and the BBC's iPlayer all incorporate different models of content management for television programming over the broadband Internet. Content control is now also a feature of everyday household technologies such as HDMI, a popular interface for consumer electronics. The BBC is now seeking to incorporate content management technologies in its new free-to-air high definition services. An understanding of how these diverse systems operate provides important context for audiovisual policy more broadly. This article considers digital content management as a new challenge for policy. We review the basic elements of content management and raise some of the policy problems involved. What has driven the shift towards digital rights management? What are the implications for national and international digital media markets? What are the implications for the cultural and social policy settlements embodied in public service broadcasting?

description: Porth (1997) argues that field trips are a useful pedagogical tool in business education for its experiential learning value of linking theory to practice. This study incorporated a qualitative, case study based approach to investigate the implementation of domestic field trips into a penultimate international business subject in an undergraduate course using observation and triangulation for data collection. An industry outreach program that complemented and reinforced pedagogical aims to develop an appreciation of the importance of international business strategies for domestic organisations operating internationally was integrated into the subject using Porth's (1997) three step process. Supporting activities for a negotiation with an industry outreach program were undertaken before the scheduled negotiation took place in order to ensure a greater likelihood of success. These activities included discussion of negotiations, simulated negotiations and feedback from teaching staff. It is believed that innovative experiential activities such as this will help graduates to meet the challenges of the professional workforce in a more complex and integrated economy.

description: According to Standards of Excellence in Teaching Mathematics in Australian Schools, excellent teachers of mathematics need to create 'an environment that maximises students' learning opportunities'; so that they can encourage self-directed learning, 'model mathematical thinking and reasoning', and provide 'purposeful and timely feedback' (Australian Association of Mathematics Teachers (AAMT), 2008, Sec 3). In the last ten years new technologies have provided teachers of both school and university mathematics with more opportunities to approach such excellence. The Tablet PC and associated technologies together provide one such opportunity.

Sustainability and balanced scorecard reporting: what determines public disclosure decision?
Creators: name: Elijido-Ten, Evangeline
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The purpose of this study is to investigate whether companies providing sustainability report (SR) also publicly report their balanced scorecard (BSC) implementation/adoption and to examine if there is any correlation between BSC disclosure, market perception, size and industry. To facilitate an exploratory analysis, we focus on the top 100 publicly listed firms in Australia. Two seemingly competing predictions from voluntary disclosure theory and sociopolitical theories adopted in sustainability/environmental reporting literature are considered and used as complementary theories in this study. The results show that BSC disclosure increased from 2007 to 2008 despite the onset of the global financial crisis. Although all BSC disclosers also provide SRs, only around half of the SR disclosers also disclose their BSC publicly in both years. Logistic regressions for 2007 and 2008 are conducted to ascertain if the financial crisis has affected BSC public disclosure decisions and its association with the variables of interest. The analyses show, for both 2008 and 2007, that size and industry prominence are positively and significantly related to BSC disclosure supporting predictions from socio-political theories. Suggestions that the BSC disclosers outperform the non-disclosers in terms of shareholder returns holds true in 2007 but not in 2008 suggesting that the financial crisis may have introduced more volatility to overall market performance.
Motherhood and entrepreneurship: the Mumpreneur phenomenon

description: Women entrepreneurs play a significant role in contributing to the growth of the global and local economy. Many of the contributions come from a strong emerging trend of so called 'Mumpreneurs', which describes mothers involved in entrepreneurial activities. In this chapter, the authors study the new phenomenon of integrating motherhood and entrepreneurship; about their underlying desire to create a better environment for their family and overall community. The uniqueness of being a Mumpreneur is about balancing work and life, sense of achievement and satisfaction with oneself, increasing income, gaining respect to equalize gender imbalance, and becoming independent. There are however challenges facing Mumpreneurs. These include starting ventures with lack of appropriate knowledge, resource constraints, stereotypes, balancing work and life, and limited networking opportunities. To encounter these challenges, the authors select three mini case studies, based on Australian Mumpreneurs to explore their strategies of overcoming such challenges and barriers. Ultimately, recommendations are introduced for newcomer or nascent Mumpreneurs, raising their new ventures in addition to their motherhood duties. Global and domestic economic prosperity will be maximised and sustained only when women have the equal footing with males. This calls for a change in the business environment, more effective programs from social institutions and government, to better support women being amongst others, Mumpreneurs.
Trans-modern consciousness: mapping value systems and models for graphic design education
Creators: name: Tunstall, Elizabeth
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This paper describes a three-axis model of six design philosophical orientations that map the ranges of traditional or modern approaches to graphic design education as defined by the authorship of the design brief, the tools used for designing, and valued output of design efforts It argues that through a framework of trans-modern consciousness, institutions and individuals can select among traditional, modern, and post-modern-based design philosophical orientations to construct integrated design praxis for themselves.
Toward an ecological civilization: the science, ethics, and politics of eco-poiesis
Creators: name: Gare, Arran
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Chinese environmentalists have called for an ecological civilization. To promote this, ecology is defended as the core science embodying process metaphysics, and it is argued that as such ecology can serve as the foundation of such a civilization. Integrating hierarchy theory and Peircian semiotics into this science, it is shown how 'community' and 'communities of communities,' in which communities are defined by their organization to promote the common good of their components, have to be recognized as central concepts not only of ecology, but of life itself. This perspective is used to defend Lovelock’s 'Gaia' hypothesis and the call of Prugh, Costanza, and Daly for strong democracy. An ethics and political philosophy is sketched based on 'eco-poiesis' or 'home-making,' which is equated with augmenting the life of communities, both human and non-human.
MMPI-2 profiles of clients with substance dependencies accessing a therapeutic community treatment facility

Year: 2024

description: The aim of the study was to describe the psychological profile, as measured by the MMPI-2, of 921 clients assessed after five weeks admission to a Therapeutic Community (TC). Overall, the profile of the sample showed prominent peaks reflecting character disorder (high Pd) and disturbed thinking and affect (high Sc). The validity scales suggested that the sample was admitting to personal and emotional difficulties and requesting assistance with these problems. The psychotic triad was somewhat more elevated than the neurotic triad indicating distress about behaviours or symptoms related to psychotic disorders. Psychopathology was greater for women, who reported significantly higher scores on confusion (F), hypochondriasis (Hs), character disorder (Pd), and hysteria (Hy) than men, although the shape of male and female MMPI-2 profiles was similar. Those aged up to 35 years scored significantly higher on five clinical scales (depression (D), character disorder (Pd), paranoia (Pa), psychopathic deviate (Pd) and schizophrenia (Sc)) than an older (over 35) group; they also significantly differed on all the validity scales from their older counterparts. Clients who completed the MMPI-2 at five weeks but stayed less than four months at the TC were more likely to be younger, female and admit to psychopathology (lower K-defensiveness scores, higher mania) than those who went on to complete the first phase of treatment. The results suggest that substance dependent clients seeking treatment at a TC exhibit considerable psychological disturbance; more so for females and the younger cohort.
The liminal and apophatic voice of the writer in/as autobiography: a subjective academic narrative
Creators: name: Arnold, Josie
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: In this paper, I engage with Roland Barthes' The grain of the voice (1985) to move into a discussion of the apophatic or liminal unknowable voice of the scriptor. The narrative of self claims a reality rather than a fictionality. Yet in a text proclaimed as an autobiography, there are multiple authorial voices available for the reader to obtain, just as there are multiple prisms that readers bring to the text itself. Critical elements emerge in the writing and the reading of an autobiographer. This paper does not accept the contention that a 'subject writer' engages an 'object reader' in the recorded life that aims to seduce the reader. Rather, it proposes the production of a liminal voice that is apparent to the reader, but unknowable for the writer. It looks at how the subjective self reveals itself through performance rather than self-analysis that is a type of translation of self on to the page. The Greek words 'apophasis' and 'liminal' are investigated in relationship to the proclaimed autobiographic text. The apophatic is shown as a way of indicating what is both said and kept away from saying yet indicated in the text, the liminal as being on the threshold of the expressed text. Both challenge views of textuality and discourse to deal with Roland Barthes' idea of the 'death of the author as god' that enlivens the role of the reader. The subjective academic narrative is the methodology I describe, apply and exemplify.
