title: Young Indonesian-muslims in Australia:
 identity, family and the ummah

description: This study examines a group of Australian Indonesian-Muslim youths’ ways of being Muslim in relation to their experiences within their families and the Muslim community. Families and religious spaces are important social and educational sites for identity formation. In unpacking these young Indonesian Muslims’ ways of constructing and negotiating their Muslim identity, I interviewed 12 Muslim teenagers and their parents. The senior members of Indonesian Muslim community and the president of the Indonesian Muslim community of Victoria were also interviewed. The Indonesian youths also wrote personal narratives describing their experiences within their family as well as in the Muslim and broader community.

In this study, I look at the ways in which Muslim identity is represented in the religious texts, the Qur`ān and the Hadith. These two central religious texts describe essentialised understandings of Muslim identity, which define Muslims as those who submit and surrender totally to the will of Allāh and express their devotion through fulfilling their religious duties. I also draw on the works of Muslim scholars located in the west such as Basit (1997, 2009), Mondal (2008), Ramadan (2004), Yasmeen (2008) and Zine (2008) on ways of being Muslim. While acknowledging that the construction of Muslim identity is rooted in religious doctrine, these Muslim scholars in the West also believe that Muslim identity is socially and culturally constructed.

My research positionings as an insider and outsider are unpacked in this study. I share some similar experiences in being a Muslim like all my participants. Unlike, these young Muslims, however, I was born and have lived most of my life in Indonesia, a country with a Muslim majority. My educational and religious backgrounds are also different from those of my research participants.  

The findings of my study indicate that these Indonesian-Muslim youths’ experiences within their families and their community have significantly shaped their ways of understanding their Muslimness. These young Muslims hold essentialised understandings of Muslim identity, Australian identity and Indonesian identity.  They associate specific physical, social, and cultural markers with these essentialised identities, albeit drawing on these different markers differently in their own ways of being young Muslim. Three groups emerged in my study: Balancing being Muslim, Australian and Indonesian; Being practising Muslims, Indonesian and Australian, and Being strong Muslims, Indonesian and Australian.

These findings have provided insights into the ways in which Indonesian Muslim youth constructed their sense of Muslim identity within the Australian contexts. The findings also broaden understandings migrant communities and their cultural and religious experiences in Australia.

title: A study on foraging behavior of swarm robots using reinforcement learning techniques

description: Swarm robotics is the study of how large number of relatively simple physically embodied agents can be designed such that a desired collective behavior emerges from the local interactions among agents and between the agents and the environment. It is a novel
approach to the coordination of large numbers of robots. It is inspired from the observation of social insects such as ants, termites, wasps and bees which stand as fascinating examples of how a large number of simple individuals can interact to create collectively intelligent systems. Social insects are known to coordinate their actions to accomplish tasks that are beyond the capabilities of a single individual: termites build large and complex mounds, army ants organize impressive foraging raids and ants can collectively carry large preys. Such coordination capabilities are still beyond the reach of current multirobot
systems.
In this research, most recent developments of swarm robot systems are addressed by
classifying the primary research axes in terms of principal topic areas that have generated significant levels of research. Specific research scopes in each of primary research axes are also classified and the key open issues in this research scopes are identified. With the goal of bringing some objective grounding to the important areas of the mentioned research scopes, this dissertation presents an empirical analysis on multi-agent foraging task using reinforcement learning algorithms. Foraging task is one of the mostly used test applications in multi-agent systems. The aim of agents in foraging task is to find the
pucks (prey) and bring them to the home (nest) location in a environment while satisfying the given constraints. This task is also known as prey retrieval task.

Reinforcement learning is used to tackle the modeled multi-agent foraging task. Reinforcement learning has been extensively used in many applications such as industrial
control, time sequence prediction, robot soccer competition and more. In this thesis,
a multi-agent foraging task is modeled using Webots (1996) simulation software and the
reinforcement learning algorithms and policies are tested. One of the challenges that arise in reinforcement learning is the exploration and exploitation dilemma. A novel learning policy (FIFO-list learning policy) is proposed and compared against the available learning policies reported in the literature to tackle the exploration and exploitation dilemma.
An improved reinforcement learning algorithm (Cautious-Q learning algorithm) is also
proposed and the performance is compared with the available learning algorithms. The
proposed learning algorithm is a combined strategy of on-policy learning and off-policy
learning. The improved learning algorithm and the learning policy is implemented on real environment with Khepera 2 mobile robots and results are presented.

title: Studio conditions

description: STUDIO CONDITIONS is a site-driven art project that explores how institutional structures and subjective identities mutually constitute each other. The project involves two types of sites: the artist’s studio in a university art department; and four fieldwork sites––a friend’s lounge-room, parent’s backyard, a student common room and an urban foreshore area. The work explores the roles artists play within the institution of art and academia. These concerns are explored in a material form via the production of sculptural furniture, related sited installations and performances. The artist’s fieldwork draws upon various community frameworks both within its understanding of site and its enactment of collaborative processes. The fieldwork highlights both local social narratives and the project’s institutional boundaries. The artistic activity in each respective site results in a ‘propositional artwork.’ These propositions involve publication of a sited idea rather than an actual sited intervention. As a result, the work is ‘site specific’ but only in the sense that it offers a discursive exploration of the idea of site. 

The exegetic text that accompanies STUDIO CONDITIONS explores the social aspects of the work. It argues that art is always, already, social, as the conditions of its production, exchange, and reception are products of society. The exegesis first contextualises STUDIO CONDITIONS within the tradition of Institutional Critique and draws on Andrea Fraser’s framing of this methodology as ‘critically reflexive site specificity.’ This strategy of interrogating the role of the co-opted artist within the institutional siting of art draws on a range of artistic, social and political considerations. The artwork is interpreted via a range of concerns that include: the historical lineage of identity politics; the psychological dimension of artistic failure within the progress-driven paradigm of the university; the complex community dynamics that surround any site of artistic process or presentation.  Next the exegesis assesses how social relations within art are valued, give value and are evaluated within both heteronomous and autonomous conceptions of art. The discussion of sociability, art, and site includes an examination of Nicolas Bourriaud’s notion of ‘relational aesthetics’ and argues that this reading needs to be supplemented by a richer understanding of the ways in which sociability is embedded in art objects, in processes of production, in audience reception, and is embodied within the formal languages of objects and representation.

title: Discovery and optimization of Grb7 antagonists as potential antitumor therapeutics

description: The growth factor receptor bound protein 7 (Grb7) is a non‐catalytic adaptor protein that was originally identified as a binding partner of the growth factor receptor (ErbB‐2). Amplification and overexpression of Grb7 is frequently implicated in the development of aggressive, recalcitrant and advanced tumor phenotypes making it a promising target in human cancers. Apart from several peptide‐based experimental antagonists, to date there exist no potent drug that is developed or known to act against Grb7. Thus, the overall objective of the research conducted in this thesis was to design novel, potent, selective and cell permeable Grb7 antagonists that may have potential as antitumor therapeutics. The first part of the thesis deals with optimization studies around a known lead polypeptide designed to bind to the Grb7 SH2 domain. A total of 11 polypeptides were synthesized with a yield varying from 2 to 17%. The peptide antagonists were found to have moderate binding affinity ranging from 0.6 – 60 μM as determined by isothermal titration calorimetry. Moreover, a short 7 residue cell permeablising sequence was incorporated into the inhibitor peptide construct and its ability to translocate peptides across membranes tested in in vitro and cell based assays. The second part of the thesis focused on small molecule antagonist discovery and optimization. Starting from known peptide leads and an experimental structure of the Grb7 SH2 domain, a series of ligand design techniques comprising shape based similarity searches, molecular docking and 2D‐similarity searching was effected to identify non‐peptide antagonists. In total, three structurally distinct classes of small molecular antagonists with moderate in vitro affinity and in vivo activity were identified from the study. The last part of the project reports the crystal structure determination of two Grb7 SH2 domain constructs. High‐resolution crystal structures of the apo‐ and peptide-bound forms of the Grb7 SH2 domain were determined. All together, extensive biophysical, computational and structural analyses were conducted on the Grb7 SH2 domain and ligands that will form the foundation for future Grb7 inhibitor development.

title: Distribution and functions of protease inhibitor 8 (SERPINB8)

description: Protease inhibitor 8 (PI8) / SERPINB8 is an intracellular serpin, a member of a class
of protease inhibitors which irreversibly inhibit serine proteases. Other serpins within
clade B are also expressed intracellularly but are not secreted, and are usually found in an
overlapping distribution pattern with their target protease. Some members of this clade have
accepted roles in inhibition of cytotoxic granule proteases. The reactive centre loop (RCL) of
PI8, which directs its specifi city towards a target protease, contains two putative proprotein
convertase recognition sites, suggesting it may play a physiological role in the inhibition of
one or more proprotein convertases.

Furin and other mammalian endopeptidases of the proprotein convertase (PC) family
are noted for their specifi city to the amino acid sequence Arg-X-X-(Lys/Arg). Such cleavage
is a required step for the activation of numerous proteins involved in normal physiological
processes as well as forming the basis of infectivity of viral coat proteins and bacterial
toxins, and progression of tumour growth and arthritis. While the activity of PCs has been
reported to be controlled at the transcription level, there is also evidence that inhibitory
proteins exist which control the action of PCs in vivo. Several members of the serpin family
have reportedly demonstrated in vitro activity against various PCs, most prominently, the
engineered serpin α1-antitrypsin Portland, which has been postulated as a therapeutic agent
(Tsuji et al, 2007). In mammals there is an endogenous serpin, PI8, which demonstrates
rapid inhibition of furin, kinetically characteristic of a physiological inhibitory interaction
(Dahlen et al, 1998).

In this study the murine tissue mRNA distribution of members of the PC family
was correlated with expression of PI8: furin, PC5/6, PACE4 and PC7 showed distribution
overlapping with, but not identical to PI8. PI8 expression was also examined in other organs,
and was found to be predominantly expressed within epithelial cell types. In a mouse model,
mPI8 was shown to be upregulated in the epithelial-mesenchymal transition process in a
model of kidney fi brosis. Further, this study demonstrated that recombinant mouse PI8 is able
to inhibit the activity of several members of the PC family against the fl uorogenic substrate
Boc-RVRR-AMC. Determination of the stoichiometry of inhibition for the interaction
showed PI8 ineffi ciently inhibited PACE4, but is a better inhibitor of PC5/6b, and inhibited
furin approximately at the physiological ratio of 1:1. This result provides support for the role
of PI8 as a physiological inhibitor of furin, and is a novel fi nding of anti-proteolytic activity
by PI8 against PACE4 and PC5/6b, suggesting PI8 may be involved in the physiological
regulation of several prohormone convertases.

title: The impact of household characteristics, socio-cultural factors and HIV/aids on child welfare in Kenya

description: This thesis investigates socio-economic and health economic issues related to the Kenyan people using the 2003 Kenya Demographic and Health Survey Data. The studies give empirical evidence that helps to understand the impact of socio-economic and health factors, including HIV/AIDS, on child schooling and health status. The thesis examines the factors contributing to an individual acquiring HIV, factors affecting child schooling and the factors having impact on child health in Kenya. Each of these studies employs the econometric tools necessary for reliable estimates. The econometric tools address issues with endogeneity, sample selection and missing data.
The thesis is comprised of five chapters with three major ones. The first Chapter gives an introduction and overview of the thesis. This chapter covers the motivation and objectives of the thesis. It also gives some historical background about Kenya. Chapter 2 examines the factors contributing to an individual acquiring HIV, with a focus on behavioural and personal characteristics, household characteristics and other socio-economic factors.
Chapter 3 deals with children’s education outcomes, specifically examining school attendance, school attainment, and rates of grade progression. The study focuses on the impact of individual and household characteristics. It incorporates the effect of socio-cultural factors as well as HIV/AIDS on child schooling. Extensive work is done on relevant econometric and statistical tools designed to address the difficulties associated with the variables used in the analysis. The discussion and conclusion gives some guidance to education policy makers in Kenya and other parts of the world which face similar conditions.

title: Cultural memory and literature: re-imagining Australia’s past

description: This thesis sets out to demonstrate that literature that uses dialogic and syncretic methods to describe a collectively shared experience contributes to cultural memory by recalling the absent and the forgotten and by proposing alternative ways to access and represent the past. I further argue that the intertextual nature and memory work of the texts I evaluate as memorial novels build a complementary and reciprocal relationship with each other and with other texts that respond to Australia’s past to allow for the growth and dispersal of meaning. Understanding how literature contributes to cultural memory has significance for contemporary understandings of Australian culture.
As literature is involved in a continuous looping back to establish and reinforce cultural memory I argue that it takes a particular type of literature to challenge the common opinion and to insert into cultural memory alternative voices and stories, rather than reinforce official culture that insists on fixed or hierarchical forms and adheres to strict boundaries between genres. Following shifts in historical consciousness and theoretical debates about memory in the nineteen-eighties and nineties, there was a corresponding shift in Australian novels that respond to our past, particularly our violent past. The result was a number of what I call memorial novels, novels that articulate the interplay of history, trauma and memory in an effort to move beyond the familiar and the universal, to step outside official history, language and modes of storytelling, and through a process of reimagining the past recognise and expose narrative and linguistic frames of remembrance, and sometimes propose new ways of remembering.
I use Renate Lachmann’s theory of cultural memory and intertextuality to trace the way the mechanisms of forgetting and remembering in literature construct cultural memory and how literature as a memory medium recalls previously silenced knowledge, restores outdated knowledge and reintegrates knowledge that was once considered unofficial, such as oral history and family memories as well as those aspects of the past that had been silenced, forgotten or misunderstood. The narratives are pluralist, ambivalent, heterogeneous and unresolved as narrators and characters re-imagine the past to transgress the traditional boundaries of form and content. Memorial novels rely less on the common polarities of good and evil, left and right, and black and white and recognise that Australian culture has “layers of identity” that can exist in a “pluralist and united world” (Pearson, “White Guilt” 245). History, trauma and memory come together in narratives that use hybrid storytelling modes to re-imagine the past, celebrate survival and offer hope for the future. 
To support my thesis I present a new evaluation of some well known Australian texts and evaluate some more recent texts against my definition of the memorial novel.

title: Developing and utilizing a mini food powder production facility to produce industrially relevant particles for functionality testing

description: In this thesis is presented research relating to a monodisperse droplet dryer for production of milk powder. The development and testing of several monodisperse droplet generators and lab-scale spray dryers was carried out. Furthermore, a number of down-scaled techniques for quality measurement were devised for analysis of the powder. Sufficient amounts of highly uniform powder could be dried to low moisture contents, using a range of feed solids concentrations and drying air temperatures. A single droplet drying model was created to simulate the situation, based on established mass and heat transfer equations and material specific kinetics using the Reaction Engineering Approach. Through a series of experiments varying drying temperature and feed solids content for a number of feed materials, the model was validated and its limits of accuracy were established. It successfully predicted the true final moisture contents and insolubilities in a range of conditions. The known and uniform temperature history and the regular particle sizes were then used to conduct original research on the formation of insoluble material during powder heat damage and the formation of particle morphology and shrinkage. Work was also done on spray freeze drying, thin layer drying, powder wetting, dissolution and the addition of surfactants.
