The Past And Future Of Community-Based Forest Management In The Philippines, Jungho Suh

Philippine Studies: Historical and Ethnographic Viewpoints

Community-based forest management (CBFM) schemes are often cited asideal for rehabilitating denuded forestlands and alleviating upland povertyin developing countries. Thisarticle examines the Philippine CBFM in thecontext of the forestry industry: It tracks the outcome of communitybased reforestation and undertakes a simple input-output analysis. It presents three propositions for the future success of CBFM in the Philippines. First, it must secure farmers’ access to financial returns from tree plantations. Second, industrial policy must link the demand for timber from other industries to the forestry industry. Third, CBFM needs to be integrated with livelihood opportunities for the poor.Keywords: deforestation • forest rehabilitation …

Figures Of Migration Gender, Kinship, And The Politics Of Representation, Resto S. Cruz I

Philippine Studies: Historical and Ethnographic Viewpoints

Thisarticle examines differences in the discursive representations of male and female overseas Filipino workers. Men have less discursive visibility than females, but men are seen as responsible breadwinners, virile, and/or threatening socioeconomic and international hierarchies, while women are contradictorily portrayed as heroines and bad mothers. These representations result from migration’s tensions and contradictions with historically established gender and kinship norms. Because these norms are central to Philippine class and status hierarchies, elite and middle-class anxieties thus mediate migrants’ representations. Further, the state and global political economy shape these representations. This examination compels a rethinking of Philippine migration flows as feminized.Keywords: …

Efficient Rank-Adaptive Least-Square Estimation And Multiple-Parameter Linear Regression Using Novel Dyadically Recursive Hermitian Matrix Inversion, Hsiao Chun Wu, Shih Yu Chang, Tho Le-Ngoc, Yiyan Wu

Faculty Publications

Least-square estimation (LSE) and multiple-parameter linear regression (MLR) are the important estimation techniques for engineering and science, especially in the mobile communications and signal processing applications. The majority of computational complexity incurred in LSE and MLR arises from a Hermitian matrix inversion. In practice, the Yule-Walker equations are not valid, and hence the Levinson-Durbin algorithm cannot be employed for general LSE and MLR problems. Therefore, the most efficient Hermitian matrix inversion method is based on the Cholesky factorization. In this paper, we derive a new dyadic recursion algorithm for sequential rank-adaptive Hermitian matrix inversions. In addition, we provide the theoretical …

Creating A Counter-Insurgency Plan: Elements Required Based Upon A Comparative Analysis Of Research Findings, William J. Bailey

Australian Security and Intelligence Conference

The development of a counter-insurgency doctrine is an evolutionary process: no two insurgencies are the same. However, certain fundamental principals remain consistent and these can be applied to meet the required circumstances. The creation of an overarching plan encompassing a combination of military, political and social actions under the strong control of a single authority is central. Therefore, understanding the basics allows for the development of a tactical strategy based upon a structured plan. Compiling the ‘Plan’ should be based upon the lessons learnt from the past. To this end, the methodology used is supported by a literature review and …

The Emergence Of Boko Haram: An Analysis Of Terrorist Characteristics, Peter L. Lacey

Australian Counter Terrorism Conference

Boko Haram (BH) is a Nigerian extremist group which emerged only in the last decade, but has rapidly established a reputation for violence. This paper reviews the development and behaviour of BH in recent years, concluding that the group’s activities meet the definition of terrorism as systematic use of fear-evoking violence against civilians to achieve political goals. This characterisation is justified in terms of four definitional elements of terrorism, and further supported by comparison of BH with contemporary terrorist groups such as Abu Sayyaf Group and Caucasus Emirate, which espouse an ostensibly similar ideology. BH should not be mistaken for …

Forensic Readiness For Wireless Medical Systems, Brian Cusack, Ar Kar Kyaw

Australian Digital Forensics Conference

Wireless medical devices and related information systems are vulnerable to use and abuse by unauthorized users. Medical systems are designed for a range of end users in different professional skill groups and also people who carry the devices in and on their bodies. Open, accurate and efficient communication is the priority for medical systems and as a consequence strong protection costs are traded against the utility benefits for open systems. Flexible security provisions are required and strong forensic capabilities built into the systems to treat the risk. In this paper we elaborate the problem area and discuss potential solutions to …

The Role Of Zinc Particle Size And Loading In Cathodic Protection Efficiency, Qiang Wang

Theses and Dissertations

Metallic additives, also known as anticorrosive pigments, can provide sacrificial cathodic protection and complement the barrier protection afforded by heterogeneous organic coatings to metallic substrates. The unique systematic study of the corrosion resistance of an epoxy coating reinforced with different sizes (80nm, 500nm, 10um) and continuous multiple pigment volume concentration (0, 2%, 10%, 20%, 45%) below global critical pigment volume concentration of zinc particles were studied. The thesis is developing the fundamental understanding to optimize corrosion protection and predicting the protection with time. The properties of these cathodic coatings were investigated by a single-frequency electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and open …

Describing High School Readiness; Implementing School-Wide Positive Behavior Supports, Emily Snead

Theses and Dissertations

This study sought to measure the current status and priorities of high school staff around effective behavior supports. The school district studied includes nine comprehensive high schools and one alternative education site. The use of effective behavior supports in the areas of school-wide supports, classroom supports, non-instructional supports, and individual student supports are the foundations for school-wide positive behavior supports, SWPBS, a tiered system of interventions designed to address the behavioral needs of all students within a school building. The study was designed as a mixed methods investigation. An online survey was created from the Effective Behavior Supports, Self-Assessment Scale, …

Applying Feature Selection To Reduce Variability In Keystroke Dynamics Data For Authentication Systems, Mark Abernethy, Shri Rai

Australian Information Warfare and Security Conference

Authentication systems enable the verification of claimed identity. Password-based authentication systems are ubiquitous even though such systems are amenable to numerous attack vectors and are therefore responsible for a large number of security breaches. Biometrics has been increasingly researched and used as an alternative to password-based systems. There are a number of alternative biometric characteristics that can be used for authentication purposes, each with different positive and negative implementation factors. Achieving a successful authentication performance requires effective data processing. This study investigated the use of keystroke dynamics for authentication purposes. A feature selection process, based on normality statistics, was applied …
