Natural Hazards, Human Actors, Serious Harm: Refugee Protection Through Understanding The Social Construction Of Disasters, Matthew Scott
Natural Hazards, Human Actors, Serious Harm: Refugee Protection Through Understanding The Social Construction Of Disasters, Matthew Scott
Matthew Scott
The occurrence of a natural hazard event is a necessary, but not sufficient condition for the unfolding of a ‘natural’ disaster. Disasters result when individuals and communities are exposed and vulnerable to natural hazards, such as droughts, floods and earthquakes. In their turn, exposure and vulnerability are social facts that are often closely correlated with discrimination, for example against women, children, older people, persons with disabilities, as well as for reasons of race, religion, nationality or political opinion. Adopting the perspective that sees disasters as socially constructed in this way, the scope of the 1951 Convention relating to the Status …

Avoiding The Pitfalls: Advertising In A Competitive Market, Francina Cantatore
Avoiding The Pitfalls: Advertising In A Competitive Market, Francina Cantatore
Francina Cantatore
The consumer credit industry is a competitive market which is facing challenging times in view of more stringent regulation in recent times. Advertising is an essential ingredient in generating business in this environment, thus an awareness of acceptable advertising parameters is important for credit providers. Not only do organisations face civil and criminal sanctions for transgressions of the legislation, but directors and managers may be personally liable for misleading or deceptive advertising. This paper deals with a discussion of advertising legislation and current developments; advertising interest rates and requirements for comparison rates; false or misleading advertising and ASIC Guidelines; including …

The International Dimension Of Democratization: Comparing Transnational Civil Society And Social Linkages In Taiwan And China, Su-Mei Ooi
Su-Mei Ooi
There has been considerable interest since the end of the Cold War, in the international dimensions of democratization. Of particular interest in this paper are transnational civil society and social linkages, which have been found in Taiwan to have contributed to the growth and development of an effective democracy movement in the pre-transition phase during the 1970s, culminating in the democratic breakthrough of 1986. Are there equivalent transnational civil society linkages in China today? In the post-Cold War globalized environment, should such linkages be denser despite concerted efforts to curb them? If so, are these transnational civil society linkages helping …

Observations From The Pilot Study On The Practice And Perspectives Of Lawyers In The United Kingdom And Sweden Regarding Protection From Environmentally Related Harm In An Era Of Climate Change, Matthew Scott
Matthew Scott
A total of nine semi-structured interviews were carried out between November 2013 and April 2014 with senior lawyers specialising in asylum and immigration law in the United Kingdom and Sweden enquiring into their perspectives and practice around the issue of environmentally related cross border displacement. The pilot study suggests that lawyers in Sweden and the United Kingdom are not routinely involved in seeking international protection for individuals who may be at risk of being exposed to environmentally related harm if returned to their countries of origin or habitual residence, although some 'pathways to protection' were identified. I suggest that lawyers …

What's On The Telly? Streaming The Archives To New Audiences, Michael Organ, Rebecca Daly
Michael Organ
University libraries face an increasingly diverse digital world in which tablet and mobile devices are the preferred access platforms for research, teaching and learning. The University of Wollongong Library has responded by digitising its unique archival collections, embedding digitisation processes, developing a digitisation program and providing a Digital Collections portal to material held within its repositories. The Library has also embarked on digitisation of the nationally significant WIN4 television news collection 1964-84. Comprising over 1,000 reels of 16mm black and white film and associated scripts, the project entails significant technological, copyright and logistical hurdles in providing streamed access to content.

Effects Of Wetting Agents And Approaching Anode On Lead Migration In Electrokinetic Soil Remediation, Yee Sern Ng, Bhaskar Sen Gupta, Mohd Ali Hashim
Ng Yee-Sern
Approaching anode is one of the enhancement techniques in electrokinetic soil remediation. This technique is reported to give promising migration for heavy metals under shorter treatment time and at lower cost in comparison to normal fixed anode system. In the present study, the effectiveness of fixed anode and approaching anode techniques in electrokinetic soil remediation for lead migration under different types of wetting agents (0.01M NaNO3 and 0.1M citric acid) was investigated. The study showed that the use of citric acid enhanced lead migration in comparison to NaNO3. For NaNO3 tests, lead was found to accumulate in the middle of …
“Who Sows Misery Collects Rage:” Cultivating Insurrection In Crisis Barcelona, Justin Ak Helepololei
“Who Sows Misery Collects Rage:” Cultivating Insurrection In Crisis Barcelona, Justin Ak Helepololei
Justin AK Helepololei
Barcelona as cosmopolitan, business hub and tourist destination can seem the antithesis of popular, anticapitalist struggle. And yet a walk through the city reveals a diffusion of efforts to resurrect Barcelona's insurrectionary past. Forms of embodied contestation are increasingly common features of the urban landscape: loud marches defend squatted social centers as displaced families take back bank-owned apartments. Protesters armed with pots and pans occupy schools and hospitals, draping building facades with banners explaining this endless economic downturn “no és crisi, és capitalisme!” While the spectacular encampments of Spain's 15M movement have been long evicted from public plazas, indignados continue …
Bayesian Nonparametric Reliability Analysis For A Railway System At Component Level, Payam Mokhtarian, Mohammad-Reza Namazi-Rad, Ho Tin Kin, Thomas Suesse
Bayesian Nonparametric Reliability Analysis For A Railway System At Component Level, Payam Mokhtarian, Mohammad-Reza Namazi-Rad, Ho Tin Kin, Thomas Suesse
Mohammad-Reza NAMAZI-RAD Ph.D.
Railway system is a typical large-scale complex system with interconnected sub-systems which contain numerous components. System reliability is retained through appropriate maintenance measures and cost-effective asset management requires accurate estimation of reliability at the lowest level. However, real-life reliability data at component level of a railway system is not always available in practice, let alone complete. The component lifetime distributions from the manufacturers are often obscured and complicated by the actual usage and working environments. Reliability analysis thus calls for a suitable methodology to estimate a component lifetime under the conditions of a lack of failure data and unknown and/or …
Environmental Policy Instruments And Policy Principles, Juergen H. Seufert, Brian Andrew
Environmental Policy Instruments And Policy Principles, Juergen H. Seufert, Brian Andrew
Juergen H. Seufert
In recent years the build-up of greenhouse gas emissions in the atmosphere has been recognized as a major environmental problem which is likely to lead to global warming, with a range of negative long-term impacts upon the atmosphere of the planet (IPCC et al., 2001; The Allen Consulting Group Pty Ltd, 2006). There seems to be a consensus that urgent action is necessary to curb the build-up of carbon in the atmosphere but no global consensus on the urgency of the action required and the best way to deal with this problem (IPCC et al., 2007 ). In this paper …
Businesses Are People Too? Anomalies In Widening The Ambits Of "Consumer" Under Consumer Credit Law, Francina Cantatore, Brenda Marshall
Businesses Are People Too? Anomalies In Widening The Ambits Of "Consumer" Under Consumer Credit Law, Francina Cantatore, Brenda Marshall
Francina Cantatore
The Government’s Green Paper on National Credit reform canvasses the possibility of affording small businesses the same degree of protection as consumers under consumer credit legislation. Such a step will enable manufacturing businesses with fewer than 100 employees, and other businesses with fewer than 20 employees, to be treated as “consumers” with all the concomitant privileges that this classification implies, including the ability to rely on hardship provisions when unable to pay their debts. Small businesses already benefit from hardship provisions under compulsory external dispute resolution (EDR) scheme Rules imposed on consumer credit providers, with some anomalous results. The definition …
The United Nations As A Source Of International Legal Authority, G. L. Rose
The United Nations As A Source Of International Legal Authority, G. L. Rose
Professor Gregory Rose
What are the connections between the United Nations and The Samuel Griffith Society? One is that Australian constitutional lawyers are now examining the relationship between international law and constitutional law. Justice Kirby of the High Court of Australia first argued for the relevance of international law in construing the federal constitutional requirement of "just terms" in compensation for compulsorily acquired property (s. 51(xxxi)). In Newcrest Mining v. Commonwealth in 1997, he stated that in cases of ambiguity in the federal Constitution, "international law is a legitimate and important influence on the development of the common law and constitutional law, especially …

Treatment Of Detainees Under Criminal Processes, G. L. Rose
Treatment Of Detainees Under Criminal Processes, G. L. Rose
Professor Gregory Rose
Domestic laws usually prohibit political violence by private paramilitary outfits or "non-state entities" directed against domestic targets, as the state has a formal monopoly on the use of force within its jurisdiction. However, at the international level, states have not agreed to prohibitions in international law on cross-border attacks by non-state entities. This paper explores how transnational paramilitary attacks by non-state entities might be criminalised and prosecuted under international and national law.
Legal Frameworks For Integrated Marine Environmental Management, G. L. Rose
Legal Frameworks For Integrated Marine Environmental Management, G. L. Rose
Professor Gregory Rose
The Australian federal government is rethinking its policy-based approach to integrated marine environmental management. Does effective coordination of oceans management activities require an overarching legislative framework? Should legislation operate to enforce cross-jurisdictional coordination? Can it also assure cross-sectoral integration? This paper explores possible answers to these questions, considering options for a legal framework for integrated marine environmental management in a federal context.
Using Design-Based Research To Produce Strategies For Synchronous Literacy For Indigenous Learners, Michelle Eady
Using Design-Based Research To Produce Strategies For Synchronous Literacy For Indigenous Learners, Michelle Eady
Michelle Eady
Synchronous learning is emerging as an effective way to provide literacy and essential skills training to Indigenous learners living in remote and isolated communities. Although there is considerable research completed in the area of learning technologies in general, there is very little research completed in the area of synchronous learning opportunities for remote Indigenous learners. This paper demonstrates how a design-based research approach coupled with the unique needs of Indigenous learners has the potential to result in the production of effective design principles that take into consideration an online learning community and delivering literacy services for remote Indigenous learners

Online learning is progressively accepted in Indigenous communities with the realized potential for sharing, collaboration and learning for adults living in remote and isolated communities. This study used a design-based research approach that provided opportunity to integrate the current literature, literacy practitioners' views and community members' self identified literacy needs to generate ten draft guiding principles which guided this study. A collaborative community engagement project was created by the community members in consideration of these principles and presented in three iterations in a synchronous environment which will lead to design-based principles for working with technology and Indigenous communities. This paper …

Establishing Design Principles For Online Synchronous Literacy Learning For Indigenous Learners, Michelle Eady, Anthony Herrington, Caroline Jones
Michelle Eady
Synchronous learning has the potential to provide literacy and essential skills training to Indigenous learners living in remote and isolated communities. Although there is considerable research completed in the area of internet-based learning technologies in general, there is very little research in the area of online synchronous learning opportunities for remote Indigenous learners. This paper presents the results and theoretical framework of the first and second phases of a four phase design-based research approach that aims to establish design principles to guide the future development of synchronous online literacy services for Indigenous learners living in remote Australian communities.
Crocodiles And Polar Bears: A Cross Cultural Comparison Of Adult Learning In Remote Indigenous Communities, Michelle Eady, Alison Reedy
Crocodiles And Polar Bears: A Cross Cultural Comparison Of Adult Learning In Remote Indigenous Communities, Michelle Eady, Alison Reedy
Michelle Eady
This presentation compares and contrasts the context of adult learning for two groups of adult Indigenous students, one from the northern Australian tropics and one from far Northwestern Ontario. It also examines the ways that technology is used to try and bridge the distance between Indigenous adult learners' goals and educational opportunities. From this comparison we conclude that the educational gap between Indigenous and non Indigenous learners in Canada is closing, while the gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians is widening. We reflect on the reasons why Indigenous adult learners in Northwestern Ontario are being better served in comparison to …
Exclusive Economic Zones And Pacific Developing Island States - Who Really Gets All The Fish?, Quentin A. Hanich, Ben M. Tsamenyi
Exclusive Economic Zones And Pacific Developing Island States - Who Really Gets All The Fish?, Quentin A. Hanich, Ben M. Tsamenyi
Professor Ben M Tsamenyi
The establishment of exclusive economic zones (EEZs), through the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (LOSC), changed the allocation of fishing rights. These zones allocated all fishing rights within 200 nautical miles of land to neighbouring coastal States. This change dramatically increased sovereign rights for Pacific small island States. In many cases, these States, with limited terrestrial resources, were allocated large resource rich EEZs that had previously been dominated by distant water fishing States. Distant water fishing States, concerned that they would lose access to 85-90% of the world's active fishing grounds, argued that the LOSC …

Plenary: Nonparametric Hypothesis Testing For A Spatial Signal, Noel A. Cressie
Plenary: Nonparametric Hypothesis Testing For A Spatial Signal, Noel A. Cressie
Professor Noel Cressie
Summary form only given. Nonparametric hypothesis testing for a spatial signal can involve a large number of hypotheses. For instance, two satellite images of the same scene, taken before and after an event, could be used to test a hypothesis that the event has no environmental impact. This is equivalent to testing that the mean difference of "after-before" is zero at each of the (typically thousands of) pixels that make up the scene. In such a situation, conventional testing procedures that control the overall Type I error deteriorate as the number of hypotheses increase. Powerful testing procedures are needed for …
Texture Analysis Using Partially Ordered Markov Models, Jennifer Davidson, Ashit Talukder, Noel A. Cressie
Texture Analysis Using Partially Ordered Markov Models, Jennifer Davidson, Ashit Talukder, Noel A. Cressie
Professor Noel Cressie
Texture is a phenomenon in image data that continues to receive wide-spread interest due to its broad range of applications. The paper focuses on but one of several ways to model textures, namely, the class of stochastic texture models. the authors introduce a new spatial stochastic model called partially ordered Markov models, or POMMs. They show how POMMs are a generalization of a class of models called Markov mesh models, or MMMs, that allow an explicit closed form of the joint probability, just as do MMMs. While POMMs are a type of Markov random field model (MRF), the general MRFs …
Models And Inference For Clustering Of Locations Of Mines And Minelike Objects, Noel A. Cressie, Andrew B. Lawson
Models And Inference For Clustering Of Locations Of Mines And Minelike Objects, Noel A. Cressie, Andrew B. Lawson
Professor Noel Cressie
Mines and mine-like objects are distributed throughout an area of interest. Remote sensing of the area form an aircraft yields image data that represent the superposition of electromagnetic emissions from the mines and mine-like objects. In this article we build a hierarchical statistical model for the reconstruction of mien locations given a point pattern of the superposition of mines and mine-like objects. It is shown how inference on the mine locations can be obtained using Markov chain Monte Carlo methods.
Bayesian Hierarchical Analysis Of Minefield Data, Noel A. Cressie, Andrew B. Lawson
Bayesian Hierarchical Analysis Of Minefield Data, Noel A. Cressie, Andrew B. Lawson
Professor Noel Cressie
Based on remote sensing of a potential minefield, point locations are identified, some of which may not be mines. The mines and mine-like objects are to be distinguished based on their point patterns, although it must be emphasized that all we see is the superposition of their locations. In this paper, we construct a hierarchical spatial point-process model that accounts for the different patterns of mines and mine-like objects and uses posterior analysis to distinguish between them. Our Bayesian approach is applied to COBRA image data obtained from the NSWC Coastal Systems Station, Dahlgren Division, Panama City, Florida. 2003 Copyright …
