Young People and Public Space: Developing Inclusive Policy and Practice
Crane, Philip
Issues about young people’s use of public and community spaces are now commonly raised in many countries. As urban space becomes more intensely used and the patterns of use of various types of space changes so a range of tensions have emerged for a range of parties including local government, shopping centre management, youth services and young people themselves. (This article is based on a paper delivered at the International Conference on Young People and Social Exclusion, University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, 10 September 1999.)

Homelessness among young people in Australia : early intervention and prevention
Crane, Philip R.
Brannock, Jillian M.
Homelessness
young people
youth
This study provides further support for the findings of previous studies regarding the factors which lead to homelessness among young people. Homelessness most clearly arises from a lack of access to affordable safe accommodation. This said, the experiences of young people where early home leaving occurs are typified either by a long-term proscess where the young person feels a lack of emotional support, often associated with abuse, domestic violence, negative school experience, rejection accompanying repartnering of a parent, or as a result of one or more specific events which involve grief or loss, or a combination of any or all of the above. The view that the provision of income support for homeless young people provides an inducement for early home leaving is not borne out in this research. While a number of current Commonwealth and State/Territory policies acknowledge the importance of prevention and/or early intervention, few programs and services are specifically directed to these purposes. Outside of the Attorney-General's adolescent mediation and family therapy programs, some Supported Accommodation Assistance Program services, a small number of alternative care services, and a small number of school focused services, there are few recurrently funded services to young people and their families exist. The study found that young people see their relations with parents, or other parent figures as central to their capacity to remain at home. Young people indicated they principally left home because of conflict with parents, various forms of abuse, because they were kicked out, and/or because of drug and alcohol related issues. Themes of a lack of felt emotional support, a culture of blame, and unresolved grief and loss pervade the accounts of these young people. Young people suggested that well in advance of home leaving occurring, there needs to be improved parental and adult attitudes and behaviours to them, greater understanding of the impact of new parental partners on them, a halt to abuse, and early access to third party facilitation of communication. Young people indicated that when home leaving first occurs they needed a clear idea of where to get help, recognition that it was a very stressful time for them, short and long-term accommodation options, culturally sensitive services and immediate response to their calls for assistance. The dominant view of young people was that they should be respected and listened to more, and specifically that parental attitudes and behaviour should alter. Overall they see communication based strategies as the ones most frequently needed, though they indicate such services can be unhelpful and even destructive if they do not recognise the young person as a person in his or her own right, with views, feelings, and important information. Counselling and many other helping strategies, often appear to young people as biased or un-empathetic. When young people find others acting and speaking in a way which presumes they are themselves the problem, they quickly dismiss such assistance as useless. Parents' accounts of their experience of early home-leaving which results in homelessness leave in no doubt the distress, anger, defensiveness and embarrassment that they often feel. Parents generally identify their children as the 'problem', while at the same time indicating significant levels of difficulty, instability, stress, and problematic behaviour within the family, and specifically, in relation to one or more parent/s or adults. Parents report great difficulty in gaining adequate responses from service providers at critical times, prior to and after home leaving. Parents report the same range of issues as causing early home leaving as do young people with the exception that parents do not include the feelings and perspectives of their children as issues. It is significant that although there is a degree of similarity in parents' and young people's definitions of home (where people feel loved, safe, supported) parents do not, as young people do, include in their definitions specific behaviours which indicate how such feelings are developed and maintained (through listening, getting problems sorted out, talking to each other). This, together with a tendency to blame, and exclude from discussion their own role in the process of early home leaving, supports the view that parents have a substantial 'blind spot' about the antecedents of early home leaving. The implications for parent support and education strategies include the need to examine the notion of home from a child's perspective, for parents to develop the capacity to self-reflect on the behaviours that are consistent with their own notions of home, and to develop skills in discussing these matters with children. Parents indicated that in order to prevent homelessness among young people, most needed were whole of family counselling or family mediation, time out accommodation, and changed school practices. The national survey of service providers indicated the most detailed and clearly thought out early intervention services were being provided by young people-family mediation programs, whole of school approaches (as opposed to add on, targeted at risk strategies) and SAAP services which have a significant focus on young people 12 to 15 years of age. Seventy-five per cent of services indicated there was a need for greater collaboration between community based service providers and schools. Constraints to the undertaking of early intervention or prevention work were cited as the limitations of program funding parameters, inadequate resources, and institutional practices which mitigate against undertaking this work. Best practice principles to emerge from the study are: immediacy of response from services when help is sought by young people or parents; understanding the social, economic and cultural contexts of family difficulty, and seeing young people and parents as operating in stressful circumstances rather than being 'dysfunctional' or inherently problematic; developing practice models which combine both relational and rights-based approaches, that is, models which simultaneously recognise the importance of family relations yet recognise the fundamental rights of young people, such as the right to a safe and supportive home; recognition that within family relations work, the perspectives of both young people and parents need to be appreciated; recognition that the prevention of homelessness among young people has structural and institutional dimensions which require reform at those levels; provision to parents, young people, and other family members, of a range of universally accessible, non-stigmatising support services. Such services should provide a 'soft entry' point of first contact, where parents or young people, separately or together, can access support to more specialised services; organisational practices which use explicit action/reflection processes, together with substantial staff support and development processes; substantial cooperation, collaboration and networking between different service providers at the local and regional levels, e.g. youth services, police, protective services, community services and schools, so that the broad range of needs demonstrated by young people and families may be responded to. This is particularly critical between 'first to know' services (those most likely to be the first point of contact for young people or parents experiencing difficulties related to early home-leaving) and other services; the involvement of services in individual and systems advocacy. While case management can assist in high need circumstances, it is not an appropriate model on which to base the development of protective factors nor for the development of self referral services; and recognition of the need for culturally appropriate services for indigenous people, and people from non-English speaking backgrounds. There are numerous models in the case study series which can be considered to incorporate best practice in their own contexts. Particularly worthy of examination are: The Drum Information Café (a basic community based model of information provision and "soft entry" service access to young people); KITS (comprehensive approach to school and community services), St James Prac (whole of school pastoral care approach), Kids Help Line and Parentline (universally accessible telephone counselling services); Family and Individual Support Worker in SAAP model (building into transitional accommodation a clear family relations capacity); Youth and Parent Services (a dedicated early intervention service combining short-term SAAP accommodation and family mediation/counselling functions); RAPS (young person-family mediation services to the broadest cross-section of families); BABI and MUYIM (community boarding programs which support reunification and reconciliation); Burnside's Intensive Family Based Support Service; Marsden Families Program (a multi-component alternative care model specifically for young people and their families); EPPIC (a mental health service for young people and their families); and, finally, the insights of the rural youth services (who identified the need for local young people-family support strategies in rural areas). What is striking in this context of best practice, is the lack of an explicit early intervention referral role for the police, given that they are often one of the "first to know" agencies. The capacity of early intervention and situational strategies to prevent homelessness among young people is limited given the existence of substantial structural and institutional factors. The prevention of homelessness among young people will require far more than an increased focus on early intervention. One structural factor of particular relevance to this study is the way young people are understood and stereotyped. These usually negative constructions affect the capacity of governments, services, the media, parents and young people to respond fully and constructively to issues such as homelessness among young people. In the pursuit of best practice, this research suggests that a recognition and re-evaluation of the beliefs about, and portrayals of, young people is needed.

The Making of Copyright Law: Notes From an Australian Perspective
Cochrane, Tom
Copyright law has become a more central concern in recent years. Australian law, having developed from its Anglo-Saxon roots, has been updated in accordance with international treaty obligations and changes described as the 'Digital Agenda'. This article generally describes the processes used and describes different ways of law making. It attributes significant appropriate influence to the library perspective in the present result in Australia. Understanding and dealing with the law of copyright is not a popular pastime. It has this in common with other aspects of commercial property and trade law, but it is, of course, a matter of greatly increasing interest in the library profession. At the 2002 meeting of the International Federation of Library Associations (IFLA), for example, it was quite noticeable that sessions on copyright matters attracted very large attendance, somewhat to the surprise of organisers whose expectations were low based on previous experience with this theme. The reason for this is, of course, the extraordinary importance and complexity of issues that have been revealed by the advent of the digital age, and which continue to excite commentary from a range of interests, by no means confined to lawmakers. As Pamela Samuelson (the well known US academic and copyright commentator) remarked at the 2002 WWW conference, '... one reason why a new politics of intellectual property is necessary is that copyright now affects everyone'.[1] This contribution considers the general principle of copyright law initially, comments on the mechanism which has developed in Australia for the review and development of change in the law before the digital age, and then reviews what has happened in the light of what has come to be known in this context as 'the digital agenda'. In doing so the broad social principles underlying copyright, together with the development of the importance of international law treaty obligations comprise significant elements in the picture.

British Security Policy in Ireland, 1920-1921: A Desperate Attempt by the Crown to Maintain Anglo-Irish Unity by Force
Ainsworth, John
In the aftermath of victory in the Great War (1914-1918) and the conclusion to the peacemaking process at Versailles in 1919, the British Empire found itself in a situation of ‘imperial overstretch’, as indicated by ever-increasing demands for Crown forces to represent and maintain British interests in defeated Germany, the Baltic and Black Seas regions, the Middle East, India and elsewhere around the world. The strongest and most persistent demand in this regard came from Ireland (officially an integral part of the United Kingdom itself since the Act of Union came into effect from 1 January 1801), where the forces of militant Irish nationalism were proving difficult, if not impossible, to control. Initially, Britain’s response was to allow the civil authorities in Ireland, based at Dublin Castle and heavily reliant on the enforcement powers of the Royal Irish Constabulary (RIC), to deal with this situation. In 1920, however, with a demoralised administration in Ireland clearly outclassed in the increasingly violent struggle against the nationalists, London finally intervened and, in the expectation of achieving a decisive result, took measures which would set events in Ireland on a new, even more violent course and lead, ultimately, to the compromises for both sides contained in the Anglo-Irish Treaty of December 1921. Consequently, the Irish administration at Dublin Castle was purged, the General Officer Commanding the British Army in Ireland replaced, new units and a new Chief of Police recruited for the RIC, and legislation providing for the Restoration of Order in Ireland passed by the Parliament at Westminster. But a security policy for Ireland, to be applied in association with these changes, seems never to have been clearly defined or articulated, leaving the new regime at Dublin Castle and the commanders of Crown forces in Ireland to determine such policy for themselves at the local level. The situation as outlined above raises a number of questions which will be considered in this paper, including: what policy or policies, if any, were articulated by the British Government in respect of the security situation in Ireland in 1920-1921? how were Crown authorities in Ireland supposed to act in accordance with, or in the absence of, such policy? was Ireland considered by the British to be in a state of war or civil unrest with regard to the struggle between Crown authorities and the nationalists? who then should have been primarily responsible for advice to the Cabinet on the development of security policy in Ireland - the War Office or Colonial Office? what were the consequences of this situation for Ireland and its relationship with Britain’?

Multi-Channel Sub-Band Speech Recognition
Mccowan, Iain
Sridharan, Sridha
University administrators urge their staff to focus on "student as client", flexible delivery and working in partnership across organisational boundaries. The Course Materials Database project at QUT aims to provide coursework students with access to the majority of their high use information resources in digital form. This includes copyright materials, QUT course/lecture notes and past exam papers. When the student logs into their own Personal Profile(Portal) on QUT Virtual (the QUT Intranet), they will link through to all their enrolled unit/subject Web pages. Each unit Web page will provide links to the digitised course notes, articles and past exam papers for that subject. This service will integrate information resources with courseware, conveniently arranged for the student in one place. Three factors enable the project: the recent agreement between the Copyright Agency Limited (CAL) and Australian universities to allow the digitising of reasonable portions of copyright materials under statutory licence for an agreed fee, the development of the Student Personal Profile on QUT Virtual, and QUT’s standardisation of online teaching pages. The project is the result of collaboration between several areas of QUT: academics, the Library, Teaching and Learning Support Services, Publications and Printery, Information Technology Services, Student Copying and Printing, and the Copyright Officer.

Love, Lust, Life - Landscape: Writing about Brisbane in the last Twenty Years
Muller, Vivienne
Brisbane is the kind of city that if it did not exist would have to be invented and indeed it has by many of its writers. Its history of settlement and its political conservatism of the slash, bum and bulldoze variety has urged writers Sam Watson in his novel The Kadaitcha Sung to depict it as a place of punishment, violence, racism and red-necked parochialism. The same sense of oppression informs David Malouf’s mixed nostalgic references to the city as a place of beauty and boredom, a city you can love and hate in Johnno. In similar vein, Jessica Anderson in Tirra Lira by the River, Angelika Fremd in The Glass Inferno and Janette Turner Hospital in both short stories and novels, depicted Brisbane as a place one needs to leave but also a place where epiphanies are possible, and where the past haunts the present with a ferocious insistence, For novelists Rosie Scott, Janette Turner Hospital and Venero Armanno, Brisbane is simultaneously Paradise Lost and Paradise Regained. Many writers depict Brisbane as a great place to grow up in but you wouldn't want to live there - unless you are Hugh Lunn. Brisbane has been, and arguably still is by some writers, seen both favourably and unfavourably as a provincial backwater, unsophisticated and straight - still a frontier town in the popular and literary imagination if not in reality - a place where it is likely that you will know somebody who knows somebody you know.

Whose views? Whose interests? The absence of young people's voices in mainstream media reports
Crane, Philip R.
Juveniles
Media Representation
Young people
Youth
Young people are excluded from the naming of social issues and from the processes of developing responses to these issues (White 1994; Bessant 1996). Youth-related issues such as juvenile crime are highlighted and policy developed with little or no attention to the perspectives of young people. This chapter explores the themes of exclusion and participation in relation to the portrayals of young people and crime in the mainstream media. Who is considered a legitimate source of information by the media, to what extent do the portrayals of juvenile crime influence policy, and how can we improve the access of young people to the media?

Abusing Foucault: Methodology, critique and subversion
Soyland, A.J.
Kendall, Gavin P.
Foucault
methodology
discourse analysis
This paper examines the uses to which Foucault's work has been put in a variety of areas in the social sciences. The argument is made that Foucault's work is often used to legitimate practices which bear little resemblence to the original and are frequently based on a misunderstanding of his method. Foucault's work should not be turned into a slogan and then inserted within an existing political project. Foucault's work invites scepticism rather than dogmatic belief. The argument is illustrated with examples.

Constructing risk: Psychology, medicine and child welfare
Kendall, Gavin P.
Collins, Alan
Michael, Mike

Reflex Anal Dilatation
Child Sexual Abuse
Foucault
Castel
In this paper, we examine the increasing theoretical and practical importance of 'risk' and 'risk factors' in applied psychological and medical settings. We argue that 'risk' has become relatively disentangled from individual persons,and has come instead to reside in a statistically-created hybrid of the personal, the social and the economic. To illustrate this theoretical point, we discuss the use of a medical technique in suspected cases of child sexual abuse: while 'risk' is a powerful instrument for thought and action in modern society, in the case we discuss it has met with much resistance, and ultimately can be refused in favour of older theoretical models such as dangerousness.

Out of the Stack and Into the Net: International Perspectives on Academic Reference Resources
Austen, Gaynor
Young, Carolyn
Electronic Resources
Library Consortia
Reference Collections
The transition of academic library reference resources from print to electronic format has been characterised by a growing level of strategic decision making by librarians, as mediated searches were replaced by end user CD-ROM formats, only to be superseded by online user access. The experience of Australian university libraries, which were early adopters of these changes, is outlined. Particular factors which impacted on this transition in other English speaking countries (the United Kingdom, United States, Canada and South Africa) are also described. The formation of purchasing consortia has been crucial in all countries in facilitating this transformation of reference collections.

Innovations in technology and rapid expansion of Library collections to include significant full text electronic resources are providing universities with exciting opportunities to provide students with high quality and flexible learning experiences. Within this learning experience is a strong imperative to develop in students life long learning skills, which include information literacy skills. The realisation of this learning experience requires the development of a deep partnership and sharing of skills and knowledge between these key players: academics (content knowledge), Instructional designers (technical and pedagogical skills) and librarians (information skills) This paper discusses new opportunities to integrate information resources and services into online teaching pages. The paper explores some of the people, processes and structural considerations organisations might consider to develop high quality on line learning experiences.

Academic Libraries
Australia: Law and Legislation
Copyright
This paper describes how copyright compliance is managed in a large Australian university, with consideration of both the role the university library plays and also how copyright matters external to the library are managed. The paper looks at the changes in distribution technology and copyright legislation over the last decade, and examines the changes in the University’s ability to disseminate teaching materials, as well as the changes in the requirements for managing the use of copyright material.

Benchmarking academic libraries: An Australian case study
Robertson, Margaret M.
Trahn, Isabella
Organizational improvement
Benchmarking
Quality assurance
HERN
Queensland University of Technology (QUT) Library, using a process improvement concept of benchmarking, compared its acquisitions and cataloguing, document delivery and research support services with those of the University of New South Wales Library. The paper discusses experience and outcomes from the point of view of the benchmarking proposer and the partner. The results were a catalyst for change in some areas at QUT. Benchmarking places great demands on staff at both proposer and partner organisations to understand concepts and process and to provide information; an organisational framework is desirable for both proposer and partner. Questionnaire outlines are presented. Great care in interpreting information is necessary. The use of common output and performance measures facilitates benchmarking and continued development of these by academic libraries is essential for it to be a useful tool for process improvement.

The first year of operation of the Researchers' Centre of the Queensland University of Technology Library is reviewed. The impetus for the Centre, issues relating to its establishment, its daily management and evaluation of its operation, are discussed. The first of its type in Queensland and one of only a few in Australia, the Researchers' Centre aims to meet the information needs of research level students and academic staff through a combination of access to electronic products, on-hand expert advice, and state-of-the-art study space in a one-stop-shop operation. In contrast to areas dedicated to study space only, which universities have traditionally offered research students, the QUT Library Researchers' Centre offers value added facilities and services. Usage statistics, client feedback and interest from outside organisations are evidence of the Centre's success in achieving its aims

Deception Bay: A Transient Community of Engagement
Delaforce, Wayne
Buckley, Judi
Lyddon, Jeff
Emerging from our experiences in the Northern Corridor Education Precinct (NCEP) is a developing conceptual framework that the authors have labeled as Transient Communities of Engagement (TCE) our three-leafed clover. This refers to the nature of the complex relationships between individuals, groups and communities within the wider community. With respect to the evolution and sustained development of the NCEP, it is the understanding and management of our TCE that allows trust, support and open communication to emerge, develop and grow within the initiative Understanding TCE integration has allowed managed sustained growth using the grassroots support, resources and skills within our geographic area. But more, it has allowed both a conceptual model and now a physical model to emerge showing how multidimensional social and organisational systems can be understood, explained, implemented and operationalised for the benefit of the constituent yet transient communities they serve. This paper looks at how TCE integration has been applied within the Deception Bay Life Long Learning Project through community participation involving a Community Jobs Plan project from the Department of Employment and Training. The project is designed to facilitate a Life Long Learning initiative through the local community and involving the provision of traineeships to eight members of the community receiving both vocational education and work experience as Stage 1 of the program. In addition, to identifying learning needs for the community it is creating an environment in which a viable and sustainable learning continuum can emerge.

Sign Consumption in the 19th-Century Department Store
Parker, Kenneth
The department stores of the 19th century continue to fascinate social theorists. This paper will expand on the work of two such theorists, Laermans and Featherstone. Extending Laermans’ and Featherstone’s analysis and applying the early work of Baudrillard, this paper will assert that through the manipulation of visual merchandising, the 19th-century department store’s managers constructed a world of sign consumption where goods were not only consumed for their use- or exchange- value but also were consumed as signs of luxury, exoticism, and excess. By asserting that highly developed forms of sign-consumption existed in the 19th century, this paper challenges the view that symbolic consumption in spaces such as shopping malls is particular to the contemporary or postmodern age.

Calorimetric and Rheological Characterization of a High-Performance Epoxy Curable at Low Temperatures
Rocks, Jens
Halter, M
George, Graeme
Vohwinkel, Friedrich
Curing and gelation of N,N,N’,N’-tetraglycidyl-4,4’-diaminodiphenylmethane (TGDDM-Araldite MY721), in the presence of an anhydride hardener mixture was studied by calorimetric and dynamic rheological measurements. Cure kinetics of the homogeneous and low temperature curable epoxy-system were evaluated from 40oC to 140oC and apparent activation energies of the curing reaction were calculated from different thermokinetic models. By comparison of different calorimetric and rheological methods, it was found that the results from the isothermal calorimetric measurements are in a good agreement with the results obtained from isothermal rheological experiments, while the kinetic parameter calculations based on dynamic calorimetric measurements are not reliable results. These differences mainly arise from the fact that dynamic measurements have many underlying assumptions and do not consider the equilibrium condition.

Curing Kinetic and Thermomechanical Behaviour of Co-Anhydride Cured Aminoglycidyl Epoxy Resins
Rocks, Jens
George, Graeme
Vohwinkel, Friedrich
Curing behaviour and thermo-mechanical properties of a technical grade of N,N,N’,N’-tetraglycidyl-4,4’-diamino-diphenylmethane (TGDDM-Araldite MY721), cured in the presence of an anhydride hardener mixture consisting of maleic anhydride (MA) and pyromellitic acid dianhydride (PMDA) was studied by calorimetric and dynamic mechanical analysis. Cure kinetics and the influence of varying stoichiometric anhydride to epoxy ratios were evaluated and the apparent activation energy was calculated according to Barrett’s method. High extents of conversion from DSC studies of the MY721-resin were reached after a room temperature cure, without an added catalyst, for 24 hours followed by a post-curing step of 1 hour at 90°C. Ultimate glass transition temperatures for the molar anhydride/epoxy ratio, r=0.8 were close to the decomposition temperature and indications were obtained that the network structure consists of two independent sub-networks. It is suggested that two separate mechanisms contribute to the curing reaction at room temperature. First the tertiary amine structure, intrinsic to aminoglycidyl-resins, may act as an internal catalyst for the anhydride ring opening, and secondly, the unsaturated bond of MA participates in the curing reaction by nucleophilic attack, such as from tertiary amines or carboxylate or alkoxide anions. From a study of a range of different amino-glycidyl resins, this low-temperature curing behaviour is found to be a general phenomenon.

On-line, Off-line, Teaching in between the Lines
Ryan, Michael
Lloyd, Margaret
Some proponents of online teaching seem captivated by new digital technologies, network-based services and media-rich resources. But yielding to technocentric imperatives is usually a poor start to curriculum design in higher education. In this presentation we sketch out how we designed and orchestrated a large subject where various forms of online (and decidedly off-line) technologies were garnered for clear pedagogical purposes. Based on feedback from students and teaching staff we reflect on the deep structural elements of the unit, including: the structured lecture series that introduced dilemmas, analysed the issues theoretically, and then sought case study embodiment of good practice; an inquiry-based collaborative assignment (webquest) that introduced students to critical and reflective academic-like writing; and cornerstone videos: a series of interviews with practitioners in the field that lead to extended conversations about practical issues.

A Model for Evaluating the Suitability of Units for Online Delivery and Accompanying Online Unit Coordinator Duty Statements
Wells, Ian
Field, Rachael
New technologies are challenging the traditional view of teaching and learning in higher education. Students also are asking for teaching and learning approaches that allow them greater flexibility in when, where and how they learn. Responses to these new imperatives must, however, be grounded by a commitment to quality teaching and learning outcomes for students. This paper is based on an ongoing teaching and learning project to develop a quality assurance package for online delivery of units across the Law Faculty at QUT. The paper critically evaluates criteria for assessing unit suitability for online delivery; guidelines for differing bands (full/partial) for online delivery of units; and duty statements for online unit coordinators. The process is grounded in educational theory; for example, Laurillard’s principled approach to mediating student learning using technology (1993), and Ramsden’s work on effective teaching in higher education (1992). The project represents a considered move by the Faculty to ensure decisions to adopt online delivery will be addressed in a systematic, coherent and pedagogically sound manner.

Managing Teamwork Online
Murray, Martin
A vast array of popular and scholarly literature exists on every facet of effective team skills, but it is not finding its way into most classrooms. Consequently, the majority of students have bad teamwork experiences, despite the very high importance employers place on students acquiring good team skills. This unacceptable state of affairs has been targeted through online facilities that have been implemented (and often created) at QUT. These facilities operate with a view to structuring and assessing team activities in university courses around well-researched and widely valued principles of team practice, but without an overwhelming workload for the teacher. The paper focuses particularly on the new TeamWorker web-based system that helps students and teachers manage team processes through various scheduled activities online and in class. Use of TeamWorker has simplified team creation, team administration, and identification and rectification of dysfunctional teams.

Critical Thinking: From the Online Environment to the Multicultural Classroom
Godat, Meredith
Whiteley-De Graaf, Kate
There is minimal evidence to show that instructional design (where communication and critical thinking is a crucial part of the learning process in the classroom) has catered for ethnic groups for whom English is not their first language. Computer-mediated communication can provide a social aspect to learning where interaction involves an exchange of information and requires participants to formulate arguments or reorganise material to arrive at new relationships or concepts (Graham & Scarborough, 1999). This paper demonstrates the use of the video and online discussion forums as part of a ‘layered learning technique’ as a tool for developing critical thinking. It shows the results of a pilot study of how prior exposure to activities and materials integrated within a structured online discussion forum can effectively facilitate interaction and discourse among students of ethnic origins and help them acquire critical thinking skills.

From Bolting on to Embedding: How Do We Progress the Seamlessness of Online and In-Class Learning Envioronments to Enhance Student Learning Outcomes?
Kift, Sally
An extraordinary range of contemporary drivers in higher education—massification, globalisation, diversity, market forces, reduced funding, competition, the desire to be flexible and the transformative influence of IT—have motivated institutions to embrace the potential of online learning and teaching (OLT) to assure the delivery of their resource-intensive programs. The e-learning revolution has obvious marketing and pedagogical advantages for the current generation of learners: it is flexible for busy students; it exploits the advanced technologies available while also enabling the connection between students and the ever-changing global society; it allows access to the immense resources of the Internet; while it also aligns with the desirable development of lifelong learning and information literacy skills. However, with the exception of some specific discipline areas and other more isolated, individual pockets of innovation, the wholesale rush to uniform adoption of virtual education has reached a critical stasis. It has become clear that there is an urgent need to reconceptualise the pedagogies of the learning environment and to reflect on how best to integrate technology into teaching and learning activities. It has been said that technology on its own is not sufficient for effective learning, but it is by no means clear to many time-poor academics how to redesign courses for an optimal mix to harness the full potential of OLT in a less than fully funded environment. This paper will examine one, fairly traditional, Faculty’s pedagogical journey down the OLT path: how we have been forced both to re-evaluate the way we teach for learning in the face-to-face classroom and to consider critically the barriers that prevent OLT proceeding to a more facilitated model of learning that is active, situational, student-centred and independent (that is, beyond mere content delivery and communicative interaction). This paper highlights the need to manage a significant culture change for staff and students alike. It will explore some of the constraints to bringing technology into the curriculum and offer some suggestions as to how to overcome these barriers to enhance learning outcomes for students in a Law Faculty case study.

Community and Learning for the New Economy
Adkins, Barbara
Grant, Eryn
Summerville, Jenny
Barnett, Karen
Buys, Elinor
The New Basics reform of the Queensland Education sector has identified its central goal as enhanced student outcomes for ‘New Times’. Research on this reform (Adkins et al, forthcoming) has identified the role of communities as an important factor in schools’ capacity to deliver this outcome. This paper provides a foundation for research into issues regarding the role of community for school reform oriented to the needs of students in the New Economy. Its central purpose is to critique extant theory in order to generate questions about how themes in education reform discourse may be re-contextualised in the context of school practice. First, it reviews the role of ‘community’ in discourses on the Knowledge Economy and ‘New Times’. Second, it examines the way ‘community’ is conceptualised in the context of Education Queensland’s New Basics reform. Third, the paper will consider some "paradoxes" that may arise when this new conceptualisation of ‘community’ is applied in the practical implementation of education reform.

Skills Expectations of Library Graduates
Middleton, Michael
A survey was undertaken of graduates from various library courses at Queensland University of Technology (QUT), Brisbane. The instrument was developed in consultation with schools offering similar courses nationally, so that it could subsequently be used for national comparison. The survey was structured to take account of knowledge, skills, and competencies explicated in Australian documents that provide competency guidance in library and information management areas. It was also designed to enable comparison with a previously published survey analysis. The survey identifies 189 skills grouped into nine categories: collection building and management; communication; facilities and equipment; information organisation; information services; information systems; management; marketing; and research. The response rate to the survey was low, but nevertheless provided a useful comparison between the expectations of graduates working in different sectors, for different time periods. Findings for respondents as a group show that each of the top five ranked skills were in the information services category, as were seven of the top ten ranked skills. There were marked differences between the rankings assigned by this group and those of a similar North American study. Tables showing the ranking of skills expectations are provided. Comments are made about curriculum developments that are influenced by these data.

Information Technology Education in Papua New Guinea: Cultural, Economic and Political Influences
Kelegai, Limbie
Middleton, Michael
Information and Communication Technology is the driving force in the information intensive global so-ciety. Information Technology (IT) professionals with skills and capabilities required by the IT industry are scarce. Industry and policy makers see education institutions as the vehicle to produce skilled IT pro-fessionals to bridge the gap between the changing technology and industry needs. Many Least Devel-oped Countries including Papua New Guinea are slowly coming to grips with the rapidly changing IT industry and need for IT education and development. The lack of information policy guidelines in many instances hinders the growth of IT industry in many LDCs. Also there are issues and factors that influence IT education in developing countries especially Papua New Guinea. These include cultural and language impacts on IT education in PNG. Preliminary results from our recent study indicate that PNG IT professionals place a high emphasis on non-technical skills. In this paper we examine a number of social, cultural and industry factors that influence IT education, and postulate several principles that are useful in developing an IT education model suitable for LDCs.

University strategic planning for information systems and management was investigated for four Indonesian higher educational institutions. A combination of the case study approach and a survey of a small sample of academic staff who have used the systems, was undertaken. Staff perceptions of the service from information systems are described, and related to their perceptions of planning for these systems. A number of evaluations of specific information sources and delivery are given in detail. Policy document analysis showed little information systems planning as part of the university strategic planning. Some observations are made about the influence of strategic information system planning upon successful use of a university's information systems.

Distance education services provided by a number of Australian university libraries are considered. Attention is paid to agreements between libraries, library staff involvement in program and information skills development, evaluation of services, and the evolution of online delivery. This paper establishes that little provision is made for the specific support of the adult learner in distance education and argues that flexible delivery initiatives are diminishing the distinction between on- and off-campus services, irrespective of client-base.

Chemotactic Cellular Migration: Smooth and Discontinuous Travelling Wave Solutions
Landman, Kerry
Pettet, Graeme
Newgreen, Don
A simple model of chemotactic cell migration gives rise to travelling wave solutions. By varying the cellular growth rate and chemoattractant production rate, travelling waves with both smooth and discontinuous fronts are found using phase plane analysis. The phase plane exhibits a curve of singularities whose position relative to the equilibrium points in the phase plane determines the nature of the heteroclinic orbits, where they exist. Smooth solutions have trajectories connecting the steady states lying to one side of the singular curve. Travelling shock waves arise by connecting trajectories passing through a special point in the singular curve and recrossing the singular curve, by way of a iscontinuity. Hyperbolic partial differential equation theory gives the necessary shock condition. Conditions on the parameter values determine when the solutions are smooth travelling waves versus discontinuous travelling wave solutions. These conditions provide bounds on the travelling wave speeds, corresponding to bounds on the chemotactic velocity or bounds on cellular growth rate. This analysis gives rise to the possibility of representing sharp fronts to waves of invading cells through a simple chemotactic term, without introducing a nonlinear diffusion term. This is more appropriate when cell populations are sufficiently dense.

'Online' Monitoring and Retrospective Analysis of Hospital Outcomes Based on a Scan Statistic
Ismail, Noor
Pettitt, Tony
Webster, Ronald
Statistical tests based on the scan statistic are introduced for detecting possible increases in the occurrence of hospital events. The tests use a moving window and the theoretical aspects of the tests are investigated using Markov chain theory. The main objective of this study is to provide a statistical technique to assist hospital sta in deciding whether the variation they observe is greater than usually expected under random variation. In this paper we develop the test for Poisson data and apply the theory to monitor the occurrence of orthopaedic wound infection and Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus colonization. We find that this method is sensitive in detecting the change in the process parameter which may not be detected by standard control chart methods. Both online and retrospective analyses are considered.

Multifractal and Correlation Analyses of Protein Sequences from Complete Genomes
Yu, Zu-Guo
Anh, Vo
Lau, Ka-Sing
A measure representation of protein sequences similar to the measure representation of DNA sequences proposed in our previous paper [Yu et al., Phys. Rev. E 64, 031903 (2001)] and another induced measure are introduced. Multifractal analysis is then performed on these two kinds of measures of a large number of protein sequences derived from corresponding complete genomes. From the values of the Dq (generalized dimensions)spectra and related Cq (analogous specific heat) curves, it is concluded that these protein sequences are not completely random sequences. For substrings with length K=5, the Dq spectra of all organisms studied are multifractal-like and sufficiently smooth for the Cq curves to be meaningful. The Cq curves of all bacteria resemble a classical phase transition at a critical point. But the 'analogous' phase transitions of higher organisms studied exhibit the shape of double-peaked specific heat function. But for the classification problem, the multifractal property is not sufficient. When the measure representations of protein sequences from complete genomes are considered as time series, a method based on correlation analysis after removing some memory from the time series is proposed to construct a phylogenetic tree. This construction is shown to be reasonably satisfactory.

Website evaluation
Internet resource discovery
HERN
QUT School of Information Systems carried out a project in association with Griffith University and QUT libraries. The project involved the identification and evaluation of electronic and print resources. These were described within the framework of UKOLN ROADS (Resource Organisation And Discovery in Subject-based services) software. They are being made available via the libraries' Web sites as Infoquest subject guides. A group of students completing the graduate library and information studies course at QUT, undertook the resource discovery role as part of their professional practice, working in conjunction with professional librarians. Students were each allocated specific subject areas. Their tasks were to review current Internet guidance for the subject area, undertake resource discovery, evaluate the material found according to standard evaluation guidelines, and report the material for incorporation into a Web site. Twenty five students participated in the project. They were involved in 24 different subjects areas supervised by 12 different librarians from the 2 universities. Subject areas ranged widely and included Japanese studies, environmental engineering, forensic sciences and ethics. Email surveys of all students were performed before and after the exercise, and we also independently conducted small focus groups of staff and students. We report on the student participation with respect to improved Internet and library skills, and understanding of resource evaluation. This has had many positive outcomes such as professional experience, shared workload, recourse to library subject experts, and cooperation between faculty and libraries. As an outcome of the project, we are developing an instrument that consolidates the experience gained from the exercise along with material from established guides to Internet site evaluation. We are reviewing criteria for site evaluation, and comparing these with evaluation criteria for databases and for printed publications. We are developing a guide that provides a structured approach to site evaluation. It will be available through the Faculty's Web-based Integrated Learning Environment to be used by both information technology and library studies students as they undertake comparison of sites located by search engines. The guide provides a categorised approach to site evaluation that takes into account features such as functionality, organisation, accessibility, content, level and range. The guide also is to provide support for carrying out metainformation creation exercises when constructing Web pages. These description, classification and indexing exercises are carried out with reference to evolving standards such as Dublin Core and the AGLS (Australian Government Locator Service). Therefore the instrument includes connection to software for supporting creation of metainformation content.

Examining the Influence of Biological and Psychological Factors on Cognitive Performance in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Crossover Study
Smith, Simon
Sullivan, Karen
The pathophysiology of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) remains unclear; however, both biological and psychological factors have been implicated in establishing or maintaining this condition. People with CFS report significant and disabling cognitive difficulties such as impaired concentration that in some cases are exacerbated by exposure to chemical triggers. The aim of this study was to determine if neuropsychological deficits in CFS are triggered by exposure to chemicals, or perceptions about the properties of these substances. Participants were 36 people with a primary diagnosis of CFS, defined according to Centers for Disease Control (CDC) criteria. A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover design was used, with objective assessment of neuropsychological function and participant rating of substance type, before and after exposure to placebo or chemical trigger. Results showed decrements in neuropsychological tests scores on three out of four outcome measures when participants rated the substance they had been exposed to as "chemical." No change in performance was found based on actual substance type. These results suggest that cognitive attributions about exposure substances in people with CFS may be associated with worse performance on neuropsychological tasks. In addition, these findings suggest that psychological interventions aimed at modifying substance-related cognitions may reduce some symptoms of CFS.

Coping as a Teacher in the Outback in New South Wales, 1880-1900: John Ainsworth - A Case Study
Ainsworth, John
Historical biography offers a unique perspective on social change, by viewing develop-ments over time through the experience of a particular individual. Thus, a biographical case study provides an insight into how such an individual may have effected, and been affected by change in his or her own environment or society. The case study for this paper is my great-grandfather, John Ainsworth (1849-1919), who had a long career as a teacher with the Department of Public Instruction in New South Wales. John Ainsworth emigrated from England to Australia in 1869, settling initially at Lambton, near Newcastle in New South Wales, where he found work as a miner with the Scottish-Australian Coal Company. Ten years later, having married and begun to raise a young family on a coal miner’s meagre income, he decided on a fundamental career change and took a six-month teacher training program with the Department of Public Instruction. After graduation, he embarked on a teaching career with the department that, from 1880 to 1900, would see him posted as school master to remote locations in the outback west of Inverell (5 years), Singleton (7 years) and then Orange (8 years). The focus of this paper is on how he managed to cope as a school master in such remote locations where:the climate was often quite harsh; the residential accommodation provided by the department for his growing young family was invariably inadequate; and the facilities available for teaching and learning were only very basic at best. The paper also considers how he did so despite official indifference, and even hostility, towards any of the proposals or other initiatives taken on his part to remedy or improve the difficult situation as outlined above.

Citizen Confidence in Social and Political Institutions in a Changing World
Bean, Clive
The focus in some literatures towards the end of the 20th century on the crisis of governability and on challenges to governance in the western world has given way in the early part of the 21st century to a focus on broader social and political uncertainty in the face of a world now dominated by ongoing threats of major terrorist activity. These developments, together with evidence of declining trust and social capital, have placed considerable pressure on a range of major social and political institutions. This paper uses survey research data to investigate public confidence in a number of prominent organisations and institutions in Australia and how this confidence is changing. The paper considers not only the level of public confidence, but also the dimensionality of such attitudes and the socio-political factors that shape them. The paper concludes with a consideration of the theoretical and practical implications of the findings.

Sense of Community and Place Attachment: The Natural Environment Plays a Vital Role in Developing a Sense of Community
Bow, Valmai
Buys, Elinor
Psychological sense of community (PSOC) is an intriguing construct that allows social scientists and psychologists to examine fundamental questions about how individuals are connected and committed to and influenced by the local residents who reside in a particular locality. In this study, initially exploration of sense of community within the chosen locality and population revealed that a ‘sense of community’ (SOC) not only included social bonding aspects but was also related to the bonds people developed with the natural environment. The data reveals that feelings of attachment to the natural landscape proved equally, if not more important than social bonds between residents in the development of a SOC. An extensive body of literature exists that has explored the nature and complexities of people’s emotional experience and relationships to place. The most common concepts are sense of place, place attachment, place identity and place dependence. While these concepts are broadly defined and discussed in theory, much research has concentrated on the notion of the home, limiting our understanding of this multi-faceted phenomenon. This paper intends to demonstrate the need to incorporate the full scale of human place related experiences that enable people to develop feelings of place attachment (PA) and incorporate these feelings into a cognitive structure representing their PSOC. 2

In the Child's Best Interests: Strategies Workers Use to Make Supervised Contact with Non-Residential Parents a Positive Experience For Children
Burton, Judith
The principle of the child’s best interests is said to be central to any work with children and their families. How practitioners define and enact this principle however, depends in large part on the kind of service they are providing. This paper reports research with practitioners in a Queensland children’s contact service [CCS]. Workers were asked what the notion of the child’s best interests meant for them and how they identified and acted in children’s interests. The focus here is on three strategies or sets of practices they saw as essential: effectively engaging all service participants, facilitating positive parent-child interaction and encouraging children’s participation in decision making. Some practitioners expressed dilemmas around working to promote children’s interests while also achieving aims related to parents, in particular providing a neutral environment where parents could re-establish a sense of their identity as a parent. Such dilemmas imply consideration be given to models for the delivery of services for children whose parents are divorced or separated.

When Witches Came Out of the Broom Cupboard
Chan, Frances
When did witchcraft, paganism and other occult activities stop being esoteric or “hidden", and become part of mainstream Australian culture? This was the question that launched this research aimed at discovering both an identifiable starting point and, perhaps, some reasons for its popularisation at that particular time.

Inequality and Incentive: Don Quixote to Mutual Obligation
Crombie, Robert
"The pride of man makes him love to domineer, and nothing mortifies him so much as to be obliged to condescend to persuade his inferiors." (Adam Smith, cited in Campbell, Skinner & Todd, 1981, p.388) For most citizens, the lofty works of long-dead economists make unlikely reading, but supporters of the deregulation policy regime have long been fond of quoting Adam Smith as legitimation for prescriptive policies. Familiar to most would be the theory of the invisible hand of the market; and the regime’s unending opposition to collective bargaining by labour has its basis in an interpretation of Smith’s thesis on monopolies. Monopolies distort the market price mechanism, though both Smith and Karl Marx showed that such distortions were not confined to the labour market. Declining use of the classics in school literature almost certainly contributes to a narrowing appreciation for such works. Among the classics, Cervantes tale of Don Quixote shows the futility of struggle, even with strong incentive, when the adversary is misidentified. For Quixote, the incentive was personal glory, a discursive theme for simpler times; but how many citizens today, economically marginalised or even socially excluded by various categories of unemployment and the discourse of Mutual Obligation, could clearly state their aim, their incentive, and where to meaningfully direct their struggle? In the Cold War discourse, incentive provided a convenient difference between the socialist and capitalist economic systems – under the benevolent state, we were told, there was no incentive to work. Since the end of the Cold War, the issue of incentive has gained prominence in the politics of unemployment, particularly in the discourse on Mutual Obligation. In tracing the rising prominence of incentive, this paper will give consideration to contesting values or ideologies and the political support they have received; the rise of the deregulation policy regime; and institutional change that has occurred or is pending. The purpose is to identify the struggle and its adversaries, and to highlight the inequality in that struggle. For the history of deregulation, the paper relies on the work of Briggs and Buchanan (2000), and the analyses rely upon Bernholz' (1995) work on the causes of change in political-economic regimes, George’s (1997) Winning the War of Ideas, and Brennan and Pincus’ (2002) study of change to Australia’s economic institution.

Identity and Social Change
Adibi, Hossein
Sociologists have argued that ethnic identity was something that people automatically had by virtue of belonging to a culture. However, contemporary research suggests that rather than having a fixed identity, ethnic people, especially the ethnic youth carry with them multiple identities, which they make use of in different ways. By considering this context, the primary objective of this paper is to provide an overview of the situation, expectations and concerns of Iranian youth and young adults (aged 14 – 25) in the process of forming and retaining their Iranian identity in Australia. In this study, 10 focused groups of between 8 to 10 individuals (aged 14-25) were studied. They were given the opportunity to express their opinions about various aspects of their situation and life in Australia. Research findings indicate that Iranian youth living in Australia are not clones of their parents. Their life experience is different and their attitudes, values and behaviors are not the same. They are simply the products of a different generation and a different personal history. Whilst the Iranian youth have many similarities with mainstream Australian youth in their attitudes and aspirations, many differences exist between them. Furthermore, Iranian youth have many valuable assets, which deserve the recognition of the Australian government. They have the potential to become valuable cultural ambassadors in building and sustaining the bridge between two countries and most importantly between two cultures.

Our House-But Who's Rent
Guille, Howard
Debt
Financial deregulation
Housing investment
Some views on Housing Average pay won’t buy standard home1. Strategic home investment can generate more wealth than could possibly be earned through employment2. A bad end to the boom would mark the failure of the separation between monetary policy and prudential regulation introduced after the report of the Wallis committee. The whole program of financial deregulation would be called into question3. So we know that the present housing boom in Australia will - almost certainly - be followed by a housing bust. After that bust, the smart league - including most of the banks - will soldier on with their pockets stuffed but many, especially in the middle-income and poorer brigade, will be in thrall to the banks through crippling mortgage payments for years to come4.

Free culture: cultivating the creative commons
Fitzgerald, Brian
OI, Ian
Throughout March and April 2004 the authors have been involved (along with fellow Project Leader QUT DVC Tom Cochrane) in a series of talks to brief the community about the further development of the Creative Commons Project in Australia – http://creativecommons.org/projects/international/au/. In February 2004 Queensland University of Technology (QUT) became the institutional affiliate for the project and over the last few months has worked closely with Blake Dawson Waldron Lawyers, who have taken primary responsibility for drafting an Australian version of the Creative Commons licences. This overview of the project is based on a seminar delivered at Melbourne University Law School hosted by IPRIA. Creative Commons aims to promote better identification, negotiation and reutilization of content for the purposes of creativity and innovation. It aims to make copyright content more “active‿ by ensuring that content can be reutilized with a minimum of transactional effort. As the project highlights, the use of an effective identification or labeling scheme and an easy to understand and implement legal framework is vital to furthering this purpose.

Mediating Welfare Ethics
Schooneveldt, Simon
This paper explores some of the underpinning ideologies that drive Australia’s selective income support system, by examining the ethical justifications used to support targeted welfare systems such as Mutual Obligation. Such justifications for selectivity will be compared with the ethical justifications that are used to promote the concept of Universalism for income support, a concept that has been attracting increasing attention in social science circles internationally. At an ideological level, Universalism in welfare also has compelling arguments for implementation, particularly in the form known as the Universal Basic Income Guarantee or Basic Income for short. The underpinning ideologies for each income support system are explored so that their ethical justifications may be examined in a compare and contrast format. Such a format facilitates a beginning mediation between some of the competing ethical claims used, so as to clarify positions and develop greater understanding about income support system implementation debates.

The Circus is in Town: Exploring Consumption, Mobility and Corporate Capitalism in the World of Formula 1 Motor Racing
Parker, Kenneth
Contemporary society is marked by speed. Within these alleged postmodern times many people live in a hyper-world of instant lifestyles, fast food, and snap decisions. Information and image are transferred at terminal velocities as symbolic capitalism transfers funds, futures, and options as well as advertising iconography over fibre optic cable or satellite communication systems. Identity and mobility have become intrinsically linked as advertising agencies exploit visions of global, contemporary nomadic travellers armed with Italian-designer business suits, palm pilots, mobile phones, and exotic aftershave. It is in this mobile and image-intense world that the elite motor sport known as Formula One (F1) resides. Formula One exists as a contradictory, paradoxical, and multifaceted entity. It is a hybrid of sport and business in which the most technologically advanced motor vehicles on the planet act as speeding billboards for international oil, telecommunications, or tobacco corporations. It is global, brash, noisy, consuming, polluting, chauvinistic, intense, and corporatised, it is, in effect, a mirror of many aspects of contemporary Western society. The sins of Western decadence broadcast to a near-global audience are reflected in Formula One.

Anti-Americanism in the Post-Cold War World (or a Few Reasons Why We Should All Stop Worrying and Love the United States)
Ushay, Josh
In many ways, the current wave of ‘anti-Americanism’ is nothing new. Much of the post-Cold War criticism directed towards American foreign policy by certain sections of the Australian community bears a striking resemblance to those expressed by Americans, and non-Americans alike, during the Cold War itself. Anti-Americanism, as this paper and others have defined it, is less that of an critical attitude based upon both empirical evidence and an appreciation of history than it is an ideologically driven, oftentimes hateful outlook, characterised by a simplistic belief that American policymakers are mean-spirited, racist, and essentially evil. What is intriguing is the fact that these expressions mirror many of those assumptions driving the Cold War paradigm of ‘New Left Revisionism’ that came to prominence in the United States during the late 1960’s and was part of the evolution of Cold War interpretation precipitated by the rise of Cold War ‘Realism’. Whilst the nature and intensity of the Realist and New Left critiques differs to that put forth by proponents of anti-Americanism today, this essay demonstrates that the continuity between this post-Cold War phenomenon and the evolution of Cold War interpretation is indeed remarkable.

Just Hanging On: The Experiences of Older Carers of a Family Member with Chronic Mental Illness
Tedman-Jones, Jan
Knox, Marie
Buys, Elinor
Purpose: A qualitative study was conducted in Brisbane, Queensland to explore the lived experiences of sixteen older carers who each provide care for a family member with chronic mental illness. The purpose of the study was to provide insight into the lived experiences of these carers and their perceptions of how caring for a mentally ill family member has affected their sense of well-being. Methodology: Semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted with each participant. Findings: Many carers perceived that their experiences of caring for a mentally-ill family member have had a significant impact upon their physical and emotional well-being, and most felt that they had lost control of their lives and often, their home environment as well. The findings suggest that many of the participants experience physical abuse, verbal abuse, depression, failing health and social isolation. Recommendations: A case management strategy, inclusive of risk management processes, is suggested as one means of supporting this vulnerable group of carers.

Coping with Change: Comparing the Retirement Housing Decisions of Older People
Woodbridge, Sandra
As they age older people are likely to spend significantly more time in their homes due to increasing frailty or as a result of having more leisure time. Therefore the immediate surroundings and proximate environments play a vital role in how the older person adapts and copes with changes that occur with advancing age. Concerns regarding access to safe environments, adequate food, shelter, transport, recreation, cultural and spiritual activities can result in the older person seeking out alternative housing choices. Choices such as retirement villages, manufactured home estates, units and serviced apartments are often considered. The decision to relocate to retirement housing can have significant implications for the health and well being of the older person and it is therefore important to understand the issues involved. This paper will compare the reasons older people choose to move to a manufactured home with the reasons given for choosing to move to a retirement village. It will use qualitative and quantitative data collected from residents of manufactured homes in South-East Queensland and compare the results with that of similar studies of residents of retirement villages.

Pandora's Box: Unleashing Technology in the Human Services
Ibrahim, Imah
Jones, Pauline
By promoting certain beliefs and values in the human services environment, technology can enable or disable the processes and ultimately the outcomes in service provision. The value of respect in the human services is undermined by the influences of the medical model and government policies, controlling how the sector deals with clients. The helping professions’ ideal of ‘doing good’ displaces respect in interpersonal transactions when it perpetuates blaming the victim. Similarly, the engagement with new administrative practices and complex technology has mainly inhibited the empowerment of the staff, clients and the human service organisations. Thus, instruments to implement policy couched in this medical framework challenges the rites of respect and conflicts with the idea of technology for empowerment. As respect is a key component in human relationships, this paper argues that it should be essential in the provision of human services. Therefore, utilising the concept of respect to direct the use of technologies becomes tantamount to innovative and empowering practice in the human services arena.

Italian Roots: Family History, Inter-Generational Experience and Identity
Dewhirst, Catherine
‘Australia’ as a notion has formed part of both mythical and real experience for Italians over the last seven centuries since Dante Alighieri (1265-1321) wrote La Divina Comedia in the vernacular. Our Terra incognita was imagined as the doorstep to purgatory after death, but it was also experienced by real people venturing beyond the frontiers of the homeland peninsula as explorers, artists, writers, poets, scientists, sailors and migrants (Lorenzato 1995:iii-iv; Cecilia 1987:ch.1). The migration of Italians to Australia has had a profound impact on the social, economic and political spheres of this country, starting mainly with the post-Risorgimento period. As a result of their presence and interaction in Australia, Italians have made untold contributions and left many legacies. One intriguing and certainly contentious legacy is that captured by the modern-day term of ‘ethnicity’, ‘ethnic identity’ or italianità [Italianness]. We might therefore consider a discussion of Italian ethnicity as a valuable means for exploring important features about Australia’s past.

Re-Thinking Biography
Ianziti, Gary
Should biography have a place within a conference like the present one? Does biography have a legitimate role to play in humanities and social science research as conceived and practiced today, in the twenty-first century? Or is biography, as Bourdieu (1986: 69) once claimed, a cheat: “one of those common sense notions that have somehow managed to sneak their way into scientific discourse‿?

Linking the Global Economy to the Global Ethic
Tyson, Paul
This essay briefly describes George Monbiot's vision of how the global economy should operate, and briefly describes Hans Küng's understanding of what the global ethic is. It is noted that Monbiot and Küng are radicals because they view economic practicalities in morally directed terms. Their work forges a direct link between discourses of ethical meaning and discourses of practical rationality. Such a link is radical because it goes against the grain of the Modernist separation of facts from meanings, and this separatism is deeply embedded in the contemporary Western Weltanschauung. Our Weltanschauung tacitly defines normalcy and legitimacy for the prevailing economic and political status quo. This essay maintains that overcoming the difficulties of linking the global economy to the global ethic can only be accomplished by a transformation of the Western Weltanschauung. Until our worldview requires economic facts and moral meanings to synthesise, we cannot radically change our world order in the direction in which both Monbiot and Küng advocate. Hence, this essay explores the relationship between facts and meanings in Western cultural history in order to clarify what sort of a "metaphysical mutation" we need to undergo to create an ethical global

Garlanding Empire with Flowers: Power, Legality and Morality in the New World Order
Harrison, Paul
The globalization debate of the nineties has given way recently to the concept and reality of empire. The ground for the shift was prepared by the increasing attention paid to military globalization as opposed to the neo-liberal paradise of a borderless world. Not only is the state back, but the state is back in its most military and most externally-oriented form in discussions of empire. Yet there are increasing difficulties in employing the seemingly obsolescent concept of empire. Must this concept undergo merely a series of cosmetic transformations given the underlying reality of state power and power politics or is a postmodern transformation of the concept either desirable or possible? In this paper the juridical transformation of the concept as envisaged by Hardt and Negri is analysed in the context of the interpretation of the NATO intervention in Kosovo as an event in the foundation of a new world order.

From Liberalism to Neoliberalism
Kendall, Gavin
We must understand neoliberalism as a distinct form of government with political, economic and cultural components. In this paper, neoliberalism is defined in terms of the work of the Ordoliberalen and of the Chicago School. It is suggested that a definition of neoliberalism must dwell less the prioritisation of the market and the definition of all human activity in terms of economic criteria; it is more important to consider the degree of naturalness or artificiality of society, and the role of government in the generation and protection of society. It is suggested that as an economic practice, neoliberalism is not especially innovative, yet as a political practice, it is extremely inventive.

Harsh Times at the Ministry of Fear? Australia's Diminished Citizenship of the Working Poor
Dee, Michael
Australia's social security system requires recipients of Family Tax Benefit (FTB) to estimate their income at the beginning of the tax year for the coming period of 12 months. For the working poor, who are frequently located in employment of a casualised and insecure nature, estimating personal income with any accuracy is an experience fraught with obvious difficulties. There are considerable consequences for not getting this set of complex calculations right in the form of the repayment of so-called 'overpayments' of FTB. Recipients of this benefit are constantly exhorted by the minister responsible for the Department of Family and Community Services to be both flexible in their choice of work and also unflinching in their efforts to secure employment. This flexibility tends not to be reciprocated however, and with the increasing 'responsibilisation' of the claimant, the ‘risk’ of overpayment is to be avoided at all costs and placed on the individual. This paper will argue that in such a context of the working poor, those who as Townsend (1979) argues 'earn their poverty' through the acceptance of low paid work and the endurance of high marginal tax rates and tightly drawn benefit tapers, also 'enjoy' a diminished social citizenship marked by stigma.

Inner-Urban Sustainability : A Case Study of South Brisbane Peninsula
O'Hare, Daniel
The combination of elements and conditions in inner-urban areas may be argued to constitute established patterns of urban sustainability. This paper develops the argument through a case study of the South Brisbane peninsula, one of Queensland’s oldest and densest inner-urban areas. For the purposes of the paper, urban sustainability is defined in the context of urban design and development. This definition highlights the interrelationship between urban form and structure, and the social and economic life of the city. The paper argues that South Brisbane demonstrates significant characteristics of ‘triple bottom line’ environmental, social and economic sustainability in a subtropical inner-urban context. The main data source is a major study of Queensland’s cultural landscapes, supplemented by analysis and interpretation of current local government planning and community advocacy for sustainability. The area is strongly supportive of sustainability in terms of residential densities; mixed land uses; coherent urban structure, with strong local centres serviceable by public transport; mixed building types and ages; diversity in culture and socioeconomic status of the population; and social capital in the form of engaged and creative communities. The management of such diverse and dynamic inner-urban areas raises challenges for sustainable urban design and development practice.

Within a Landscape : A House on Stradbroke Island
Hockings, John
The paper is description of an instance of project based design research. The project described and refl ected upon is a beach house which explores ideas of how architecture and people might relate to landscape. The paper discusses the processes of abstraction used to move from initial site descriptions in traditional and digital media through to an eventual architectural proposition. There is a discussion of the relationship of people and the landscape, and of the landscape and new building. Ideas are explored which move in a different direction from the ‘touch the earth lightly’ propositions of Murcutt and others. Key ideas revolve around the resolution of people/nature oppositions, and the use of the architectural expression as a mechanism for manipulating that opposition. The expression is both a sensual experiential one, and a cognitive and revelatory one, but always draws upon and ultimately hopefully reveals the perception of a shared unpinning to both the landscape and the architectural piece.

The Use of Polymer Composites in Construction
Humphreys, Matthew
The construction sector is one of the world’s largest consumers of polymer composites. Unreinforced polymer composite materials have been used by the construction industry for many years in non-load bearing applications such as trimmings, kitchenware, vanities and cladding. In the last decade there has been a concerted effort to migrate reinforced polymer composites (RPCs) into the construction industry for use in primary load bearing applications. Potential advantages commonly expounded by proponents of RPC materials include high specific strength, high specific stiffness, tailorable durability, good fatigue performance, versatile fabrication and lower maintenance costs. As a result reinforced polymer composites are being investigated in applications such as rehabilitation and retrofit, alternative reinforcement for concrete and, in rare cases, entire fibre composite structures. However, to date the number of primary structural applications of RPCs in construction remains relatively low and there appears to be a number of issues contributing to their slow uptake by the construction industry. Issues such as cost, absence of design codes, lack of industry standardisation, poor understanding of construction issues by composites industry, lack of designers experienced with polymer composite materials and civil/building construction are commonly claimed to place these materials at a disadvantage when considered against traditional construction materials. However, this paper proposes that as issues of sustainability become increasingly important to material choice, some fibre composite materials could be at an advantage over traditional materials

The Development and Recognition of Research in the Architectural Profession: An Australian Update
Whitman, Paula
This paper examines the role of research within the architectural profession. It reports on the current development of a Research Policy by the Royal Australian Institute of Architects and how this policy fits within a national exercise of research priority setting being undertaken by the Australian Federal Government. It discusses the profession’s developing recognition of the necessity and value of research. The challenges of having the work of the architect understood and valued under the terms set by research funding and assessment bodies are discussed. While the paper deals specifically with the architectural profession, it highlights some of the difficulties faced by the humanities in relation to the development and recognition of research activity.

Performance of a New Single-Bit Ternary Filtering System
Thompson, Adam
Hussain, Zahir
O'Shea, Peter
Recently we have proposed a new structure for efficient single-bit filtering. The system consists of a ternary finite impulse response filter and a remodulating low-pass infinite impulse response filter. Embedded within the remodulating filter is a sigma-delta modulator. In this work we examine several interpolation methods for generating the ternary taps, along with their effect on the system frequency response.

A Hyperbolic-Uniform Space-Time Channel Model for Mobile Environment with Uniform Linear Antenna Array
Mahmoud, Seedahmed
Hussain, Zahir
O'Shea, Peter
In this paper we present a space-time geometricalbased channel model for a macrocell mobile environment. We consider reverse link with a uniform linear antenna array. This model combines scalar stochastic fading model (for local scatterers) with the geometrical hyperbolic model (for dominant reflectors). We assume one resolvable path for each dominant reflector. The proposed model provides statistics of the direction of- arrival (DOA), fading amplitude, time delay, and phase data for wireless communication channels. The model is also useful for designing a forward link beamformer.

Space-Time Geometrical-Based Channel Models: A Comparative Study
Mahmoud, Seedahmed
Hussain, Zahir
O'Shea, Peter
Space-time geometrical channel models proved to be of significance in wireless communications as they provide spatial information (i.e. DOA, TOA) by which the performance of wireless communication systems and space-time systems (i.e., smart antennas, beamformers) can be analyzed. This paper presents a comparative study of space-time geometrical channel models. Based on the methods through which the models incorporate Doppler fading, we divide these models into two categories: models with oscillated scattering objects and models with unoscillated scattering objects. The main characteristics of each category have been studied using the existing models.

Properties of the Hyperbolic Macrocell Channel Model: Path Power and Doppler Shift Statistics
Mahmoud, Seedahmed
Hussain, Zahir
O'Shea, Peter
In this paper we investigate the statistical properties of the path power and Doppler frequency shift for the recently-proposed hyperbolic macrocell channel model. It is well-known that the Doppler spectrum is dependent on the probability density function of the direction-of-arrival (DOA) of the multipath components at the mobile station and the direction of motion of the mobile. We derive and simulate the joint probability density functions (pdfs) of the power-DOA and the power-Doppler shift.

BER Performance of DS-CDMA System Over a Frequency Selective Multipath Rayleigh Fading Channel
Mahmoud, Seedahmed
Hussain, Zahir
O'Shea, Peter
In this paper, we present a study of the bit error rate (BER) performance of DS-CDMA system over a frequency selective multipath Rayleigh fading channel with perfect power control. The standard Gaussian approximation (SGA) is used to evaluate the BER performance for the DS-CDMA. The performance of DS-CDMA over the frequency selective fading channel is examined with the varying numbers of multipath components, varying numbers of interfering cells, and various process gain. From the simulation results we have seen that the BER performance is affected by these parameters.

FedSat Orbit Determination: Results from Daily GPS Flight Code Observations
Feng, Yanming
Zhou, Ning
Enderle, Werner
The Australian Federation Satellite, FedSat, was successfully launched into a 780-km low-earth orbit on 14 December 2002. Since then, the onboard Blackjack GPS receiver has operated on a duty cycle basis, providing effective data sets at an average of 10 to 15 minutes per orbit with its only aft-looking antenna, which views a field of two-third of the hemisphere. This paper presents the technical description of the FedSat Orbit Determination and Tracking (FODT) software, which is used to perform FedSat orbit filtering and prediction on daily basis. We present results from GPS flight data sets of two periods: the very first 24 hour data collected on Day 364/02 and the very first data sets of 5 consecutive days in March 2003. The analysis is focused on the evaluation of the FedSat flight GPS data quality and the accuracy of orbit propagation solutions currently achievable with the FODT software. The results from the two data periods have shown that the FODT derived FedSat orbits from code measurements can be propagated forward 72 and 96 hours with the maximal orbit errors of 120m and 240m respectively, which will satisfy the precise pointing requirement for Ka-Band tracking. In general, these preliminary FedSat orbit determination results are considered encouraging and promising, given consideration of rather harsh FedSat observational environment.

Orbit Determination of FedSat Based in GPS Receiver Position Solutions
Enderle, Werner
Feng, Yanming
Zhou, Ning
On 14th December 2002, the Australian small satellite FedSat was launched with a Japanese HII-A rocket into an 800 km sun-synchronous orbit with an inclination of 98.6 degrees. One of the payloads is a dual frequency GPS BlackJack receiver from NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). This receiver provides a Position, Velocity and Time (PVT) solution and also raw measurements (code and carrier), which will be used in different ways for Precise Orbit Determination (POD), Orbit Determination (OD) based on GPS position solutions, 2-axis Attitude Determination (AD) and atmospheric experiments.

GPS Receiver on JaeSat
Enderle, Werner
Roberts, Peter
Bruggemann, Troy
Boyd, Cameron
The Joint Australian Engineering Satellite (JaeSat) is a micro satellite being developed under the management of the Australian Space Research Institute (ASRI). However, currently a project management responsibility transfer from ASRI to the Queensland University of Technology (QUT) and a possible participation/cooperation from the Australian Cooperative Research Center (CRCSS) is under negotiation. JaeSat will be launched by a Ukraine rocket called Dnepr. The orbit will be a Low Earth Orbit (LEO) with an altitude of 800 km and an inclination around 98 deg. This paper will provide information about the QUT GPS receiver design characteristics with respect to software and hardware. The testing environment will be presented, which includes a GPS signal simulator and in-house custom designed software. Further, this paper will provide an outlook for future plans in order to implement additional features aiming for attitude determination based on GPS measurements.

The Architecture of the European Global Navigation Satellite System - Galileo
Enderle, Werner
Weber, Thomas
Kuhlen, Hans
The European initiative for the provision of Radionavigation Satellite Services (RNSS) – GALILEO - will comprise all segments for an independent and fully operational infrastructure under civil control. Some of the signal transmissions will share carrier frequencies and some of the available spectrum with the USGPS system. Signals on common centre frequencies have been designed for functional inter- operability, making GPS and GALILEO two systems of the next generation infrastructure for Global Navigation Satellite Services. The GALILEO system architecture comprises a space segment, the associated ground segment for performance monitoring and satellite control and, last but not least, the User segment. This paper provides a general overview of the GALILEO architecture. The individual segments of the GALILEO architecture and their internal interaction are described. Finally, external interfaces to other systems for the provisioning of time as well as the boundaries of the GALILEO system are explained.

The Yemen Construction Industry: Reading the Industry for the Successful Implementation of Sustainability
Sultan, Basel
Kajewski, Stephen
The construction industry in the developing economy of Yemen is plagued by severe problems that permeate most aspects of the industry from initial feasibility and design through to cost management and construction. Considerable capital and time is wasted within the construction process with a direct flow-on effect for the national economy. Further, the expected life-span of constructed facilities in Yemen is relatively short – buildings often being redeveloped or requiring demolition due to poor design, questionable construction practices, or inappropriate material selection within few years. Despite the magnitude of the problems in the Yemen construction industry, virtually no research has been undertaken, and little data exists on the extent of the problem.

The Behaviour of Construction Costs and Affordability in Developing Countries : A Yemen Case Study
Sultan, Basel
Kajewski, Stephen
Construction affordability is identified in Agenda 21 for Developing Countries as one of the main issues associated with sustainable construction and sustainable development. Despite international awareness of sustainable construction, the cost rates for construction activities and resources have been continuously increasing. Due to these increases the approaches to be used to achieve sustainable construction through efficient and affordable techniques can be difficult to determine. This paper will examine the behaviour of the main construction costs and building rates, concurrently with ocioeconomic behaviour, for the purpose of identifying some of the deficits in construction activities in developing countries, such as Yemen. This is achieved by examining past and current trends in the construction industry over the last two decades. Comparisons with other developing and regional countries are established to allow for a scale of international development to be established. This scale, based on a proposed Construction Development Index (CDI), will enable the industry to be more responsive in relation to construction costs and affordability in a particular country.

Modes of Compositional Engagement
Brown, Andrew
In this paper I will present some perspectives on compositional engagement which have arisen from my PhD study into composition processes with computers. I believe that while the specific tasks and outcomes of making music with computers might be different from another medium, such as paper or piano, the composer’s engagement is fundamentally similar. The main point I wish to make is that compositional engagement is multifaceted. There are a range of ways in which composers interact with musical materials and mediums. I refer to these as modes of compositional engagement. A composer works in different modes depending upon the stage the composition is at, the type of material they are working with, the compositional methods they are using, and the medium in which they are working. A composer might work predominantly in one particular mode of compositional engagement, change between modes quickly, or display features of different modes concurrently

Music Composition
Genetic Algorithms (GA's) are considered promising for music composition because they combine ‘creativity’ (ability to explore a large search space) with constraints (creative 'excess' is 'pruned' using a fitness function). A major difficulty with the use of GA's for this task is to define fitness functions which capture the aesthetic qualities of the wide range of successful melodies. In this paper we report on research that addresses this problem in the context of a modest compositional task, melodic extension. We describe 21 melodic features used as the basis for a GA fitness function and for mutation procedures. We discuss how the features were chosen, measured for significance, and might be incorporated into a fitness function.

History, Biography, and Narrative in Don DeLillo's Libra
Thomas, Glen J.
Don DeLillo
Libra
Kennedy Assassination
Theories of History
An analysis of Don DeLillo’s Libra for two main forms of desire for plot. The first of these is Lee Oswald’s desire to attain a sense of unity of self. Oswald is frustrated in this desire by the workings of language. The text demonstrates that the subject is structured in and through language, in the way in which Oswald functions as a sign. The second form of desire for plot is Nicholas Branch’s narrative desire to write the definitive history of the Kennedy assassination. Like Oswald’s, Branch’s desire is frustrated. He is unable to write this account because he cannot create a narrative from the information about the assassination.

Elementary School Students' Understanding of Technology Concepts
Davis, Robert
Ginns, Ian
McRobbie, Campbell
Elementary school teachers and teacher educators have expressed concerns about what students learn as they engage in design and technology activities. This study was designed to identify students' understandings of selected technology concepts, and changes in those understandings across a range of age levels corresponding to grades 2, 4 and 6 at elementary school. Following an extensive interview program and subsequent data analysis, it is argued that commonalities and variations in understandings exist within and across age levels. The identification of these commonalities and variations is examined for their implications for classroom teachers, the development of more appropriate design and technology programs, and preservice and inservice teacher education.

Tracking Ability of an MCV on a Rural Road

Combination Vehicles
Lane Width
Multi
Roughness
Tracking Ability
Multi-combination vehicles (MCVs) are road freight vehicles comprising a prime mover towing two or more trailers. At each articulation point, movements occur due to the driver, vehicle, road and environment such as driver steering, vehicle length, road roughness and side wind loading, respectively. These lateral displacements dictate the lane width required for vehicles using the road and, if ignored or predicted inaccurately, can affect the cost or safety of the road. Previous research (Prem et al., 1999) estimated the lane width requirements for several MCVs on two routes with average roughness. In this current study, a full scale testing programme was undertaken on a rough road to measure the lateral displacement of the rear trailer of a B-Double on a nominally straight path. Video footage was recorded during the tests from a camera on the top of the prime mover which was aimed at target boards at the rear of the vehicle. Lateral movements of the trailers were extracted from the video data – these were relative to a moving frame of reference, namely the prime mover which was subject to driver steering inputs. Corrections were made for the relative angle between the prime mover and the trailers, which was found to vary with the applied steering angle. These corrections were found to result in an increased estimate of the lateral displacement and hence the lane width required.

Adding Value to the Teaching and Learning of Design and Technology
Ginns, Ian
Norton, Stephen
McRobbie, Campbell
It has been argued that design and technology can be used as a vehicle for teaching science and vice versa. In this paper, we report an investigation into Grade 6 students’ understandings of concepts embodied in the Systems strand of a technology syllabus as they grappled with a unit of work in technology for the first time. The unit of work involved students in the design and construction of simple systems, followed by experiences with more complex systems. Qualitative research methods were used to investigate the activities of the students as they engaged in the design and technology learning experiences for eight weeks. Data sources included student and teacher interviews, video and audio recordings of whole class and small group interactions, students’ notes, drawings and diagrams, and researchers’ field notes and reflections. Changes in students’ ability to identify the individual components and analyse how the components worked together in systems, and evidence of students’ use of scientific understandings for explanations, were noted as the unit of work progressed. An improvement was observed in students’ abilities to describe relationships between inputs, processes and outputs, and outline sequences of cause and effect. Recommendations are proposed for enhancing the value of both design and technology and science if both subjects are taught together as part of an integrated program in primary schools.

Evaluating a Specific Mentoring Intervention for Preservice Teachers of Primary Science
Hudson, Peter
McRobbie, Campbell
Using a two-group posttest only design, 60 final year preservice teachers (control group) and 12 final year preservice teachers (intervention group) from the same university were compared after a four-week professional experience program. The intervention group received a mentoring program for developing primary science teaching practices. The survey measured both the control group and intervention group perceptions of their mentoring in primary science across previously established mentoring factors (i.e., personal attributes, system requirements, pedagogical knowledge, modelling, and feedback). Results indicated that those in the intervention group perceived they had received more mentoring experiences on each of the five factors, and ANOVA results indicated that these differences were statistically significant for the first four of the five factors. It is argued that the specific mentoring intervention designed for developing specific aspects of primary science teaching has the potential to enhance the degree and quality of teaching experiences within a preservice teacher’s professional experiences.

Learning Science in a High School Learning Environment in Papua New Guinea
Najike, Samuel
McRobbie, Campbell
Lucas, Keith
This paper reports part of a wider study that investigated classroom-learning environment, and the enacted teaching and learning practice in a Grade 9 high school science classroom in Papua New Guinea. Findings from the study revealed that the informal traditional practice of teaching and learning in Papua New Guinea differed significantly from the modern approach adopted by the country based on imported models from the West. There was evidence to show that the informal traditional teaching and learning practice in Papua New Guinea of "story telling" and "apprenticeship style" models did not readily facilitate learning for understanding and students taking responsibility for their own learning. Accordingly, there were conflicts in students' roles as learners between the new approach and the traditional expectations of students which impeded progress in learning. The study recommended that in order to maximise students' learning and understanding of science concepts in the Papua New Guinea classroom observed, cultural sensitivity should be incorporated in the pedagogy

Cognitive Load, Scaffolding and an ILS Algebra Tutor
Norton, Stephen
Cooper, Thomas
McRobbie, Campbell
The support for the use of computers in teaching and learning is widespread. Some educationalist say that the most powerful use of computing technology is as a tool for cognitive amplification or to enable students to explore mathematical concepts, and through this exploration construct mathematical understandings. Others note that the increasing power of computers enables them to exhibit artificial intelligence that can be used as surrogate tutors of mathematics. The most recent of such programs are Integrated Learning Systems (ILS) that present lessons, assess student responses and provide remedial feedback as well as monitor student progress. This study examines how a student used the feedback and cognitive scaffolding potential of a new generation ILS algebra tutor, The Learning Equation, in her learning. It was found that the student did not follow the carefully constructed intended sequence of learning provided by the ILS. However, she used a just-in-time approach to accessing feedback and a reliance on syntactic structure that enabled her to use the software in a way that accounted for most of her cognitive support needs.

Cross-cultural Communication
Cultural Instruction

Language Culture Relationship
Second Language Instruction
Courses in cross-cultural communication and in "foreign" languages, in Australian universities at least, often fail to communicate across institutional and disciplinary barriers. Starting from an analysis of two courses in intercultural communication, this article examines how they foreground cultural difference and where they locate it in relation to the classroom. This analysis raises a number of issues of relevance to the teaching of culture within "language courses." The affordances of this interdisciplinary approach are explored with particular reference to the teaching of French

If You Build It, They Will Not Necessarily Come: The Need for Online Communication Research into Communities of Place
Foth, Marcus
Current communication research into online communities is strongly directed at peer-topeer networks and virtual communities which are dispersed and not linked to any one physical location. The popularity of these internet communities can be attributed to the way they enable the exchange of information based on interest, practice, commerce, or support needs, and how members can easily establish social relations with each other. Within a local context, the internet holds the potential to grow strong and social capital rich communities of place which foster civic engagement, trust amongst residents and acts of reciprocity. However, this does not happen automatically, and there is a lack of understanding how local communities can make the technology work for them. Thus, new research is needed to inform the design process of online communication networks to grow sustainable communities of place.

Messages from the Inside?: Multiculturalism in Contemporary Australian Children's Literature
Pearce, Sharyn
It remains to be seen whether the events toward the end of 2001 in Australia and elsewhere will produce a triumphant counterdiscourse of assimilation and/or exclusion, and whether tolerant pluralism of the multicultural society, so comparatively recently nd arduously asserted, is exposed as fragile and illusory. A children's literature reflecting a society intent upon renovating the fading picture of a homogenous Australia really would be a step backward.

Gatewatching, Not Gatekeeping: Collaborative Online News
Bruns, Axel
This article introduces a new form of collaborative web-based editing which has become increasingly popular in recent years. It involves web users as reporters and co- roducers for specialist news sites by allowing them to submit their own news reports and pointers to relevant articles elsewhere on the web, and sometimes even hands over editorial control to the online community altogether. Websites of this type move on from traditional journalistic gatekeeping approaches, where editors publish only what they regard as 'fit to print', to what is here termed gatewatching, where almost all incoming material is publicised, but with varying degrees of emphasis. Gatewatching sites frequently become major repositories of specialist information, turning into resource centre sites for their interest community, and are particularly common on the fringes of the open source software development movement. Some of these sites can be seen to directly apply open source ideals (direct involvement of the community, open access to all aspects of the development process) to the reporting of news, in effect making news itself an open source

Collaborative Practice: Categorising Forms of Collaboration for Practitioners
Brien, Donna Lee
Brady, Tess
Faced with the prospects of a collaborative writing venture, a contract and a tight deadline for our collaborative text The Girls Guide to Real Estate (Brady & Brien 2002) we realised that our understanding of collaboration had not been much more than a general motherhood concept tossed about with nods of approval but rarely unpacked. In setting out to write our collaborative text we needed more insights into the various forms of collaboration and more to hang our authorial hats on than those feel-good pegs. In addition, at a time when collaboration is increasingly becoming part of a writers' working life, and as teachers and practitioners of writing, we felt we needed more understanding of the collaborative process in general.

Fight for Survival: The RIAA's Sustained Attack on Streaming Media
Bruns, Axel
Webcasting is an alternative to terrestrial radio stations. Online radio allows listeners to swap local radio fare for more exotic programming, turning everyday PCs into world receivers, and offers a large variety of special-interest Webcasts catering to very genre-specific tastes. For independent music labels whose content would never be played on mainstream terrestrial radio, Webcasting has become a major source of exposure. Unlike filesharing, however, Webcasts remain largely ephemeral: no permanent copy of radio content can be created on the user’s computer unless authorised by the Webcaster, or unless users specifically seek out software like Streambox VCR which circumvents such restrictions.

From Blogs to Open News: Notes Towards a Taxonomy of P2P Publications
Bruns, Axel
Peer-to-peer (p2p) communication is currently a major driver of online content development. In addition to some of the better-known p2p communication forms such as filesharing, however, we are now also witnessing the emergence of a wide range of p2p publishing models. These range from solitary, diary-style Weblogs (blogs) to communal blogspaces which place individual blogs within elaborate interconnecting extrastructures, and beyond this to increasingly sophisticated Websites for the open publishing and discussion of special interest news. This form of communal publishing replaces traditional journalistic gatekeeping approaches with a new gatewatching model, and (implicitly or explicitly) applies the philosophy of the open source software development movement to news reporting and publishing, leading to what can be described as open news. Typically emerging from existing interest communities, p2p publications frequently cater for topics which are absent from the mainstream media. Their basis in the community can lead to the publishing and discussion of news and information in a highly topical, well-informed fashion, which has also made such models highly attractive to online activist groups. Common to such sites is that the role of site owners and editors appears largely to be limited to maintenance interventions, rather than content-editorial screening and filtering. The selection and editing of content, on the other hand, is usually in the hands of site users themselves, often (as in the case of sites like Slashdot.org with its 500,000 registered users) through elaborate selfmoderation systems. Compared to traditional news and commentary publications, therefore, new power structures can emerge which affect these publications in specific ways. If in these sites we see the emergence of common models for designing communication for diverse communities, it is necessary to investigate whether these site models provide suitable vehicles for information exchange and communication for more than simply the usual techno-geek groups that are already overrepresented in Internet communication structures. This paper describes peer-to-peer publications as a continuum of publishing approaches ranging from isolated, single-writer blogs to widely recognised, large-community open publishing Websites; it notes commonalities and differences amongst these related models along the way. It makes reference to typical examples of p2p publishing sites and points out potential benefits and problems inherent in these publishing forms. Finally, it also considers the extent to which the open source philosophy provides a useful ideological model for these sites.

Digitising the Bard: Old Culture, Shakespeare and New Economies
Carson, Susan
Tucker, Shirley
This paper addresses emerging methodologies and technologies for the distribution of canonical cultural studies content in new economy structures. Recent developments in Creative Industries frameworks and attendant languages have drawn attention to the issues raised in linking creative content with wider industrial applications. The example of this process, to be outlined in this paper, is the merging of the myriad cultural associations and entrenched applications inherent in Shakespearean studies in Australia with creative business clusters, such as Bell Shakespeare, in order to develop new creative enterprises and add to the use-value of the primary content. In this context, this paper will demonstrate the digital platform being developed currently via QUT to deliver such established content into new cultural formations. This is an interdisciplinary and cross-institutional project that will focus on contemporary Australian outcomes. Questions that arise from the teaching of cultural studies approaches in relation to Shakespearean texts and the complexities added when those approaches are delivered in the context of the new Creative Industries focus will also be addressed. Recent discussions have revealed the problematic status of teaching Shakespearean studies in contemporary environments. Product 'Shakespeare,' always a problematic consumable deployed by, and for, varying political and social aims, is moving in new directions, such as corporate business training. New technologies offer much to such divergent interests but also raise important political and social questions, particularly in relation to non-Eurocentric cultures. This paper is an attempt to consider some of the methodologies, and the technologies, involved in the latest round of appropriations of Shakespearean studies.

A Tale of Two Synergies: An Institutional Analysis of the Expansionary Strategies of News Corporation and AOL-Time Warner

News Corporation
This paper undertakes an institutional analysis of the recent strategies for corporate expansion undertaken by News Corporation and AOL-Time Warner. It outlines the central elements of an institutional approach to media analysis, noting its relationship to critical political economy. Observing that the core proposition of such an approach is that corporations seek control over their external environment, but questioning the proposition that enterprise size is itself a guarantee of such control, it contrasts the recent strategies of News Corporation and AOL-Time Warner, in relation to globalisation, cross-media platform development and synergistic expansion. It argues that News Corporation is a global media enterprise in ways that AOL-Time Warner is not, and that the key to this expansion has been a willingness to let go of control through strategic partnerships and joint ventures. By contrast, AOL-Time Warner’s search for synergistic expansion through merger has largely proved illusory, whereas a ‘network enterprise’ strategy, that eschewed expansion and control in favour of strategic partnership, may have proved more successful.

Building a Sense of Online Rural Community: Exploring the Complex Interactions between Technological Characteristics and Social Influences
Previte, Josephine
Pini, Barbara
Hearn, Gregory
This paper reports preliminary findings from a larger ethnographic study of two discussion lists which have been formed as part of the rural women’s groups, Australian Women in Agriculture and the Queensland Rural Women’s Network. The central purpose is to use Baym’s (1998) computer mediated communication (CMC) framework to examine how a sense of community is constructed in these online groups. Data from four months of messages are examined in terms of the five dimensions which Baym (1998) argues shapes virtual communication in discussion lists. These are the external contexts in which the use of CMC is set, the temporal structure of the group, the infrastructure of the computer system, the purposes for which CMC is used, and the characteristics of the group and its members. The way in which these pre-existing factors influence emergent forms of expression, identity, relationships and behavioural norms in the lists is also explored.

Organizational Change Communication
Frahm, Jennifer
Brown, Kerry
This paper seeks to extend Pearson’s (1989) ethical Public Relations’ communication strategies to the field of organisational change communication to provide potential solutions to the problems of organisational change. It is argued that there are two main reasons why organisational change communication remains problematic. The first is the lack of research to guide practitioners on appropriate organisational change communication. The second reason is that the research undertaken focuses on the narrower scope of communication in planned change events. This focus makes it inaccessible to those seeking guidance in the context of continuous change, as planned change differs greatly from continuous change (Weick & Quinn, 1999). The paper establishes that traditional change communication has employed a monologic approach and argues that the dialogic/monologic lens is more appropriate for understanding continuous change and improving change receptivity. Five principles of dialogic Public Relations communication (Kent and Taylor, 2002) are used to analyze continuous change contexts. The monologic/dialogic lens is then used to analyze initial findings of a study on the impact of change communication on change receptivity in the context of continuous change. The study employs a mixed methodology of surveys, participant observation, focus groups, and document analysis. Findings indicate that a shift from monologic to more dialogic communication occurs over the first twelve months and results in improved receptivity of change.

Foth, Marcus
This paper proposes that interactive technologies can combine with training and enterprise development, and young people’s desires for content creation, to establish a network of users across differing geographical and social ecologies, creating new cultural forms and economic outcomes. The research project described merges innovative internet design, policy analysis and ethnographic methods. Young people from urban, regional, remote and Indigenous environments will learn, network, and create their own content on a Youth Internet Radio Network, contributing to community capacity building. Analysis will describe and influence the creative, social and technical processes, and identify opportunities for innovation, enterprise development and regional sustainability.
