A Multi-Objective Agent-Based Model for Optimising Polling Place Resource Allocation
Background Long queues at polling stations reduce voter satisfaction and raise the cost of running elections. In Australian federal elections, unpredictable arrival patterns and early-voting behaviour make traditional staffing estimates unreliable, often resulting in either under-utilised staff or wait times that exceed an hour. Objectives (1) Build a framework that couples an agent-based simulation of a polling station with a multi objective opt…
Integration of large-scale community-developed causal loop diagrams: A Natural Language Processing approach to merging factors based on semantic similarity
Utilizing language models facilitates identification of similar factors and has potential to aid researchers in constructing CLDs whilst reducing the time required to manually merge them. While models accurately merge synonymous or closely related factors, manual intervention may be required for specific cases
The common drivers of children and young people’s health and wellbeing across 13 local government areas: A systems view
Combining large CLDs into a simple diagram represents a generalisable model of the drivers of complex health problems
Food policies for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health (FoodPath): A systems thinking approach
First Nations peoples have the right to participate in all decisions affecting them. This includes food policy decision-making. In the Australian state of Victoria, the Food Policies for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health (FoodPATH) project aimed to determine the food policy actions that are likely to be effective and acceptable for Victorian Aboriginal Communities. Community-based workshops were held with six Aboriginal Community-Contr…
Use of artificial intelligence to enable dark nudges by transnational food and beverage companies: Analysis of company documents
Objective: To describe the use of artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled dark nudges by leading global food and beverage companies to influence consumer behaviour. Design: The five most recent annual reports (ranging from 2014 to 2018 or 2015 to 2019, depending on the company) and websites from twelve of the leading companies in the global food and beverage industry were reviewed to identify uses of AI and emerging technologies to influence consume…
Tracking implementation within a community-led whole of system approach to address childhood overweight and obesity in south west Sydney, Australia
This paper provides a pragmatic example of the methods used to track implementation of complex interventions that are addressing childhood overweight and obesity
Urban housing and housing policy in Peninsular Malaysia
Personality Judgements of Australian Aborigine and White Speakers: Ethnicity, Sex and Context
Eighty-four male and 84 female high-school students, who were urban whites, rural whites, or rural Australian Aborigines rated audiotapes of Aboriginal and white male and female speakers. Each speaker presented two standardcontent passages representing statusand solidarity-oriented contexts. Aboriginal students rated all speakers favourably, and rated Aboriginal speakers more favourably in the solidarity context. Rural white students, who had mor…
Urban Squatting and Migration in Peninsular Malaysia
This article examines some of the links between the phenomena of urban migration and squatter settlements in the Third World city. This will be done by demonstrating that both are outcomes of fundamental social and political forces that have operated on these societies. Migration and squatting are placed in a context of the historical processes that led to the uneven development of Malaysia 1 . The article offers some explanation for the origin o…
Urban Squatting and Migration in Peninsular Malaysia
The Evolution of Squatter Settlements in Peninsular Malaysian Cities
Squatter, and other vernacular, housing is found in almost all cities of Peninsular Malaysia. In 1976 such dwellings accounted for the majority of all residences in most urban areas, with squatter housing constituting over twenty per cent of the total in several cities. Squatter settlements are the most clearly defineable residential form outside of the modern sector and consequently their dimensions and history are better documented than others.…
