OLDER AUSTRALIAN WOMEN’S HUMAN CAPITAL: PERCEPTIONS OF SKILL LEVELS AND PARTICIPATION IN LEARNING ACTIVITIES

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Abstract While business cases for older workers’ employment stress their value it is well-known that they participate less in training activities than younger workers. Women are at particular risk of not accessing training opportunities. Drawing on a survey of 2500 women aged over 50 we report a fine-grained analysis of the types of training women were undertaking and the factors associated with participation in training. The analysis indicates that training is infrequently undertaken in preparation for a new job and large majorities of women see no need to and are not interested in retraining. This is observed across occupational groups, but more commonly among those with low educational levels. A lack of employer support is much less commonly reported as a barrier to older women’s participating in training. The findings suggest that it is primarily at women themselves that efforts aimed at promoting human capital development need to be directed.
The Translation of Allusions in Poetry : Translation of the cultural and historical allusions in the poems of Endre Ady

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

In my thesis I have studied the translation of the allusions in the poetry of the Hungarian poet Endre Ady (1877-1919). Ady’s poetry was rich in allusions intertwined with the history and culture of Hungary and in my thesis I have sought to examine how transla-tors try to translate these allusions into English, Finnish, German, Czech, Slovak, Romanian, Dutch and Portuguese and which factors affect the process of translating them. As main factors affecting the process, I have chosen the geographical and cultural distance between the cultures, the poetic form and the assumed use of the target text. \n \nAs theoretical background I draw on the translation theories by Eugene Nida and the Skopos theory created by Hans Vermeer and Katherine Reiss. For classification and analysis of allusions I have applied the studies by Ritva Leppihalme and for the classification of translations I have relied on a system by Ildikó Pusztai-Varga. For the special problems attached to the translation of poetry I have used the study by Barbara Folkart. \n \nIn my thesis I show that in the translation of allusions of Ady’s poetry there are two factors that complicate the process, namely the geographical/cultural distance, which makes the allusions more difficult to understand, and the compactness of the poetic form, which does not allow explaining. Beside these the assumed purpose of the target text is also of great importance, as the requirements of the poetic form may be abandoned, if the purpose is to convey only the information, not poetry.
Reformation of Dispute Settlement Mechanisms for International Trade Organizations: Ensuring Developing Country Interests

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Regional Trade Agreements (RTAs) are frequently advantageous for developing countries and can help them prepare for future trade opportunities provided by the World Trade Organization (WTO). Developing countries face a dilemma when disputes occur within an RTA; the WTO Dispute Settlement Body (DSB) tends to be too costly and inaccessible, while RTA dispute settlement mechanisms (DSM) tend to be underdeveloped and immature. In order to minimize the cost of dispute resolution and better safeguard the interests of developing nations and regional trade agreements, which are frequently more beneficial to developing countries, this paper describes why and how the WTO should change its dispute settlement procedures. It also argues that these systems should be established to make the WTO's dispute resolution mechanisms more effective.

Elevated Love: Correggio and Michelangelo’s Depictions of The Rape of Ganymede

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Chronicling the lives of the pagan Gods, Metamorphoses was essentially a compilation of stories based on Greek mythology. As the title suggests, the primary theme throughout the work was that of change and evolution. Suggesting that the process was naturally occurring, the stories also sent the message that in spite of any physical transformation, the soul or spirit would remain fundamentally the same. In short, the world was in constant flux but the soul was not. Although this idea ran throughout the epic poem, Ovid’s story was richly layered and comprised of many other aspects, with various themes continuing throughout the book. One reoccurring theme was that of unrequited love, which often involved one character in aggressive pursuit. Jove, otherwise known as Jupiter in Roman mythology, was the supreme God of the Heavens and though he was married to Juno, he often lusted after the most beautiful of mortals in the earthly realm. This presentation proposes that while Ovid’s Metamorphoses provided a starting point for artists, these Ovidian stories were open to interpretation (and reinterpretation). Similar to religious imagery, which was most dominant at the time, they were constantly adapted in art. Examining two different portrayals of the Rape of Ganymede, one by Correggio and the other by Michelangelo demonstrates how Metamorphoses, as the title implies, was able to continually evolve and remain relevant to the changing social values.
Alternative Micro‐Health Insurance and Heterogeneous Preferences: A Discrete Choice Experiment in Rural Cambodia

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

ABSTRACT Micro‐health insurance (MHI) alleviates the impact of poor health and injuries, complementing the existing informal risk‐coping mechanisms for impoverished households in developing nations. In rural Cambodia, the take‐up rates for such schemes are generally low. This study applies a mixed logit model to evaluate the demand among potential customers for MHI attributes and identify more acceptable insurance schemes for rural Cambodia. We found that adding non‐existing benefits, management services, and additional medical providers to the previous MHI scheme would considerably increase the willingness to pay (WTP) of potential insurance customers. However, the implementation costs of the alternative scheme were higher than the WTPs for the MHI. Additionally, we observed that participation in the village‐saving loan association, expected to act as an insurance substitute by enforcing precautionary saving and strengthening solidarity among members, had a negative effect on WTP for MHI. Policy implications from our findings are: changing the existing village‐saving group from insurance substitutes to insurance complements by interlinking insurance, credit, and savings could effectively increase the WTP for MHI and that appropriate marketing tools should be devised that induce potential insurance purchasers to change their reference points from the status quo before purchasing MHI for their final wealth.
New reactions of oxetanes

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

This thesis describes the synthesis and new reactions of oxetan-3-ones. Chapter 1 \ngives an introduction to oxetanes and includes discussion of methods for their \nsynthesis, their reactions, specifically those involving the use of oxetan-3-ones, \nand their relevance in medicinal chemistry and natural products. \nChapter 2 begins with an introduction to multi-component reactions (MCRs) and \nmoves on to describe our efforts in incorporating oxetanes into structurally \ndiverse compounds using Passerini three-component reactions (P-3CRs) and Ugi \nfour-component reactions (U-4CRs). A range of 3,3-disubstituted oxetanes are \nsuccessfully made in 23-98% yield by reaction of oxetan-3-ones with various \ncarboxylic acids and isocyanides. The synthesis of chiral 2-substituted oxetan-3- \nones using the SAMP chiral auxiliary method is also demonstrated, specifically \noxetan-3-one is converted into 2-benzyloxetan-3-one in 51% overall yield and \n74% ee in three steps. \nChapter 3 details our efforts towards the incorporation of the oxetane unit into \ntetrahydro-β-carbolines using the Pictet-Spengler reaction. Several oxetan-3-ones \nare demonstrated to take part in Pictet-Spengler reactions with tryptamine and \ntryptophan ethyl ester derivatives. The chemistry is successfully extended in \nazetidinones.
The Cry of "wolfish" in the Federal Courts: The Future of Federal Judicial Intervention in Prison Administration

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

In Bell v. Wolfish,' the United States Supreme Court held that, with respect to conditions or restrictions having no specific constitutional source for protection, a pretrial detainee in a federal correctional center has a right under the due process clause of the fifth amendment to be free from any punitive conditions or restrictions during detention. 2 The Court further held that all of the challenged practices and conditions were valid because they were rationally related to the legitimate nonpunitive purposes of the detention center.3Thus, the correctional facility could place two detainees in a cell built for one, 4 prohibit receipt of books and magazines except directly from publishers ("publisher-only" rule), 5 limit gift packages to one package of food at Christmas, 6 conduct unannounced searches of the living areas outside of the inmates' presence, 7 and conduct visual anal and genital searches for contraband after every contact visit, without probable cause. 8Apart from its impact on the rights of detainees, 9Wolfish has virtually blocked any potential expansion of prisoners' rights by the Supreme Court for the near future.The purpose of this Article is to examine the lower federal court decisions rendered
Towards a Judicial r2p: The International Court of Justice and the Obligation to Prevent Genocide in The Gambia v. Myanmar Case

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Abstract This article proposes a reading of the 2020 Order on Provisional Measures in The Gambia v. Myanmar case through the r2p lens. It holds that the International Court of Justice ( icj ), notwithstanding its inherent limitations as a judicial organ, can play an important role in the responsibility of the international community to help to protect populations from genocide, and that a ‘judicial r2p ’ can exist under r2p ’s Pillar Three. To that end, the article develops two main arguments. First, that in the 2020 Order, the icj used a language closer to r2p than ever. Second, that, by submitting the dispute to the Court, The Gambia not only has exercised a right under the Genocide Convention, but it also fulfilled its obligation to prevent genocide, and as a member of the international community, has contributed to activate the latter’s r2p regarding the Rohingya in Myanmar.
The Relationship between Retirement Wealth and Householders' Lifetime Personal Financial and Investing Behaviors

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

ABSTRACT While previous research indicates wide wealth dispersion at retirement within households with similar lifetime incomes, there have been few attempts to identify personal financial behaviors associated with retirement wealth in households matched for lifetime income. Householders with similar demographics and lifetime income but differing markedly in net worth near retirement were surveyed in terms of personal financial behaviors undertaken during their lifetime. Results revealed key differences between householders with low and high retirement wealth in their financial behaviors and how these were acquired.
Reducing permeability of indium tin oxide contacts to improve thermal stability in perovskite solar cells (Conference Presentation)

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

Hybrid organic-inorganic lead halide perovskite solar cells have made rapid advancements in efficiency, approaching and overtaking those of other thin-film technologies. Before commercialization can be achieved, however, the stability of perovskite solar cells must be improved. While moisture exposure can be mitigated through careful encapsulation, the thermal stability of the cell, with respect to both intrinsic degradation of the absorber material and extrinsic reactions with other layers, is critical. We evaluate thermal stability of semitransparent FA0.83Cs0.17Pb(I0.83Br0.17)3 and MAPbI3 perovskite solar cells at 85C in a nitrogen environment for up to 1000 hours and show that the primary factor in cell degradation is reaction with a metal contact. Using depth profiling in x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, we show that silver contacts not only create a driving force for iodine migration from the perovskite, but also surprisingly have the potential to diffuse through a sputtered tin-doped indium oxide (ITO) window layer, an atomic layer deposited (ALD) tin oxide layer, and an evaporated fullerene electron transport layer into the perovskite, harming the performance of the perovskite solar cell. The poor barrier quality of the transparent conducting oxide (TCO) is due largely to diffusion channels in domain boundaries created by a proliferation of the existing rough perovskite morphology, shown with scanning electron microscopy (SEM). We investigate several solutions, including spin-coating the fullerene layer and using amorphous indium zinc oxide (IZO) as an alternative TCO. We discuss the performance and viability of each solution as well as implications for perovskite solar cell design.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Yaling Vicky Koh,1 Poh Wee Tan,1 Shaik Ahmad Buhari,2 Philip Iau,2 Ching Wan Chan,2 Liang Shen,3 Sing Huang Tan,4 Johann I-Hsiung Tang1 1Department of Radiation Oncology, National University Cancer Institute Singapore, 2Department of Surgery, National University Hospital, 3Department of Medicine, Biostatistics Unit, National University of Singapore, 4Department of Medical Oncology, National University Cancer Institute Singapore, Singapore Introduction: Accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI) using the multicatheter method has excellent cosmesis and low rates of long-term toxicity. However, there are few studies looking at the feasibility of this procedure and the outcomes in an Asian population. This study aims to look at outcomes at our hospital.Methods: We identified 121 patients treated with APBI at our center between 2008 and 2014. The median follow-up for our patient group was 30 months (range 3.7&amp;ndash;66.5). The prescribed dose per fraction was 3.4 Gy in 10 fractions. In this study population, 71% of the patients were Chinese while 15% (n=19) were of other Asian ethnicity.Results: In this study, the median breast volume was 850 cc (range 216&amp;ndash;2,108) with 59.5% (n=72) patients with a breast volume of &amp;lt;1,000 cc. The average planning target volume was 134 cc (range 28&amp;ndash;324). The number of catheters used ranged from 8 to 25 with an average of 18 catheters used per patient. We achieved an average dose homogeneity index of 0.76 in our patients. The average D90(%) was 105% and the average D90(Gy) was 3.6 Gy per fraction. The median volume receiving 100% of the prescribed dose (V100) was 161.7 cc (range 33.9&amp;ndash;330.1), 150% of the prescribed dose (V150) and 200% of the prescribed dose (V200) was 39.4 cc (range 14.6&amp;ndash;69.6) and 14.72 cc (range 6.48&amp;ndash;22.25), respectively. Our dosimetric outcomes were excellent even in patients with breast volume under 1,000 cc. There were no cases of grade 3 skin toxicity or acute pneumonitis. Two patients had a postoperative infection and two patients had fat necrosis postprocedure.Conclusion: Multicatheter high dose rate APBI is a safe and feasible procedure that can be carried out with minimal toxicity in Asian patients with breast volumes under 1,000 cc. Keywords: breast, Asian, multicatheter, brachytherapy
Raising Research Consciousness the Fa'aSamoa Way

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

For too long non-Western indigenous researchers have been limited in their research because of the “scholarship” attached to ethnocentric and culturally insensitive methodological frameworks. This paper highlights the very rich experiences of the author’s alternative methodology in the Samoan context, and argues the need for the world of Western academia to acknowledge “other” cultures’ perception of scholarship and knowledge. It focuses on the necessity for both non-indigenous and indigenous researchers to take into consideration the culture of participants, and to incorporate their culture into the methodological framework and written text.

Knowledge creation and transfer in construction organisations in Tanzania

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

The project-based nature of construction organisations creates a learning opportunity from most of the activities carried by these organisations. Knowledge is being created in the course of carrying core and non-core activities in the organisation. For organisations to make the most of this knowledge, a mechanism for tapping has to exist. Such tapping can occur through the organisation’s various activities and organisations stand to benefit if these activities are done strategically not only to tap, but also to create and transfer knowledge and ultimately enhance performance. The study has henceforth analysed the knowledge transfer process of construction organisations in the Tanzania construction industry and explored how these organisations facilitate creation and transfer of knowledge. A survey in a pilot study in the year 2001 was conducted to refine and focus the study’s questions and propositions and a case study strategy of inquiry has been adopted for the main study. Four construction organisations in the Tanzania construction industry are studied. The analyses from findings support the propositions set forth in the study and among others establish: the specificity of the knowledge transfer process in construction organisations, the situational nature of the knowledge being transferred, the ephemeral nature of goals and the “selling of jobs” in construction sites influencing incentives for knowledge management initiatives. The study further establishes that there are inadequate attributes towards knowledge creation in the organisations. That: there is limited practice of on-the-job training, peer assist and learning by imitation; codification of procedures, rules, and checklists is done insignificantly or absent completely; networking of knowledge is poor; experience sharing and learning by doing is low. In effect the study proposes an optimal knowledge transfer process for construction organisations in Tanzania using an IDEF0 business process model, and explores the cost-effectiveness for organisations in the industry pursuing knowledge management initiatives such as the knowledge transfer process. Lastly, recommendations for construction organisations at policy and functional level are made.
Thirty Years after the Break-up of Yugoslavia

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Abstract The contribution sheds a critical light on the thirty years since the break-up of socialist Yugoslavia. It presents three hypotheses for a critical reorientation of the 1989–91 sequence. Firstly, rather than seeing 1989 as the start of the longue durée of a democratic process, for Yugoslavia this trajectory was ‘realised’ as political chaos and ethnic wars in 1991. Secondly, criticising the chronological view of ‘post-socialism’, it posits post-socialism as having already emerged after 1965, marked by market reforms that ‘withered away’ socialism. Thirdly, and specific to the 1990s, in order to facilitate the transition to capitalism, a ‘primitive accumulation’ of memory and a high degree of violence unfolded, which actually dis-accumulated the socialist infrastructure and socialised means of (re)production. The post-Yugoslav transition proved a genuine ‘contribution’ to ‘making our country great again’: ethnically cleansed nation-states on the horizon of European peripheral capitalism. The contribution concludes on an affirmative note, pointing to the slow resurgence of the Left.
