Key findings, analysis and recommendations that have emerged from a research project, 'Using Human Language Technology to enhance academic integrity, inclusivity, knowledge exchange, student diversity and retention' at the University of South Australia conducted in 2019 are discussed in this article. The primary purpose of the project was to address some of the challenges and opportunities afforded by increasing student and teacher diversity at a predominantly English-medium Australian university through newly enhanced human language translation technology (HLT) also known as machine translation (MT). This technology is frequently used for the translation of human language, and it falls under the umbrella of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies. From the institution's perspective, key aims of the project were to contribute to the university's Digital Learning Strategy priorities and core values embedded in a structural transformation of the university. These include integrity, accountability, diversity, social justice, engagement and collaboration. The researchers' objectives focussed on multilingual pedagogies using HLT to support knowledge exchange (transknowledging), and translanguaging for all students. These disrupt inequitable hierarchies, and position bi-/multilingual students as valuable resources for monolingual staff and students.

I admire Lily's intelligence, will, determination, and devotion to her child.... Writing, I feel a tension between myself and Lily, that of host and guest. Another identity change for Lily later, Bennion reveals one more layer of his own project: Why would a man in his late sixties write a novel about a lovely young woman? Bennion says that in real life, an actual Executive Decision Maker (a vintage novelty toy) determined the course of the plot - of Lily's happenstance - as he wrote (80). [Extracted from the article]

A few years before, an institute teacher at the University of Utah had told a group of us grad students that everything Jesus did, except the Atonement, we could do ourselves - every miracle, every healing, every outreach to greater truth. I'm an Aries with my sun in the sixth house, which means, according to astrology, that since the moment I was born, health has been my top priority. By the time the book was finished and on local shelves, I was pregnant with my second son, and I planned a drugless, non-interventionist hospital experience, a compromise between Polly's full-on home birth and the conventional experience I'd undergone with my first baby eighteen months earlier.

This paper aims to tackle dissonant issues involving ownership and inclusivity in the conservation of architectural heritage in Banda Aceh. The paper explores to what extent architectural heritage conservation in Peunayong can reflect inclusivity of the non-Muslim minority Chinese with the majority Islamic Acehnese. In the process, the tensions over ethnic interaction and assimilation through the practices of architectural heritage conservation and everyday life are inextricably teased out. The paper also attempts to build counter-hegemonic views drawn from a consideration of 'heritage from below', and to identify how local people understand heritage conservation and cultural assimilation in maintaining everyday heritage. We argue that the negotiation of dissonance in Peunayong heritage narratives is reflected in the ways the Chinese community have historically made efforts to achieve acceptance within their adopted Acehnese cultural context. While for the Acehnese, the negotiation is reflected in their long struggle to reclaim their majority status and economic place in Peunayong, and acknowledgement of Chinese architectural heritage.
