Clique Annealing: Semi-Supervised Community Detection Under Crystallization Kinetics, Ling Cheng, Jiashu Pu, Ruicheng Liang, Qian Shao, Hezhe Qiao, Feida Zhu

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Semi-supervised community detection seeks to find a specified community type when only few communities are labeled. Existing "select-then-refine" pipelines often start from mis-aligned cores and rely on Reinforcement-Learning or Generative Adversarial Network, increasing computational cost and limiting scalability. We address these issues with a unified energy framework under crystallization kinetics that jointly models energy, structure, and growth. Based on this perspective, we propose CLique ANNealing (CLANN), which first employs Nucleus Proposer to select candidate clique as community core under four physics-inspired criteria. A learning-free Transitive Annealer then iteratively merges neighboring cliques and repositions the nucleus, enabling spontaneous, scalable community growth. …

The HPV Vaccination Learning Project examined the factors that influence HPV vaccination among adolescent girls in selected Philippine communities. The research team adapted the BeSD survey and interview tools through two rounds of field testing that incorporated cognitive interviews. From August to October 2025, the team conducted 400 caregiver surveys and 120 in-depth interviews across 10 sites in Ilocos Norte, Abra, Santiago City in Isabela, and Navotas City. Interview participants included 30 parents, 30 adolescent girls, 30 teachers, and 30 barangay health workers.

Caregivers generally reported high awareness of the HPV vaccine and strong trust in health workers. Concerns about …

Conduct Of Formative Assessment Of T.E.E.N.Dig Kabataan! Kalusugan Ay Pahalagahan Project, And Development Of Manual Of Procedures (Mop): Final Report, Zaldy C. Collado, Axell M. Alterado, Czarina Labayo-Prieto, Anjo Benedict Fabellon, Rodolfo T. Anacan Jr.

SDRC Projects

This report presents the findings of an independent formative assessment of the T.E.E.N.Dig Kabataan! Kalusugan ay Pahalagahan Project, an adolescent health initiative of the Department of Health (DOH)–CALABARZON Center for Health Development. The assessment examined the project's relevance, implementation coherence, effectiveness, sustainability, and potential for expansion across the five provinces of CALABARZON. Using a mixed-methods approach, the study combined policy and literature reviews, surveys involving 551 respondents, key informant interviews and focus group discussions with 93 participants, observations of 25 school- and community-based T.E.E.N.Dig Centers, and an analysis of adolescent health screening and referral records from 2023 to 2024.

An Investigation Of The Motivations And Experiences Of Adults With Communication Disorders Attending A Student-Led Speech Pathology Clinic, Alana Filing

Theses : Honours

Introduction: Student-led clinics (SLCs) are recognised as a valuable initiative for developing student clinical competencies, expanding placement capacity, and delivering targeted health intervention within the community. Despite the recognised benefits of SLCs, there is a notable lack of research investigating adult clients’ motivations for engaging with these services and their experiences of attending SLCs, particularly within speech pathology (SP) contexts.

Objective: This study investigated factors influencing adult clients’ initial engagement with a SP SLC and explored their experience with the service.

Method: A qualitative descriptive design was employed to capture clients’ experiences. Data were collected through semi-structured, face-to-face (F2F) interviews …

Media And Democracy, Claire Fitzpatrick, Kurt Sengul

Research outputs 2022 to 2026

The relationship between media and democracy has become increasingly fractured in Australia. Foundational democratic ideals, once mutually reinforcing, such as freedom of information, transparency and accountability, pluralism and diversity of opinion, and public trust are showing signs of strain. Under mounting pressure from media commercialisation, information pollution, populism and polarisation, democracy faces what André Bächtiger and John Dryzek (2024) describe as ‘diabolical times.’ They argue that the current crisis of democracy is, at its core, a crisis of public communication.

Navigating School Re-Entry For Teen Mothers In Arua District, Uganda, Flavia Mane Eriku, Mweru Mwingi

Institute for Educational Development, East Africa

Uganda's 2020 Education Re-entry Policy supports teenage mothers to resume schooling after pregnancy, yet re-enrollment remains low. In a qualitative case study in two public secondary schools in Arua District, we identified key barriers to be inadequate guidance, stigma, discrimination, irregular attendance, limited knowledge and resources, and forced marriage. We recommend boosting teen mothers’ self-esteem through personalized counseling, mental health support, and community awareness of the value of education. Strengthening these areas can enhance policy implementation and help policymakers and practitioners improve monitoring and educational reintegration for teenage mothers.
