White And Non-White Australian Mental Health Care Practitioners’ Desirable Responding, Cultural Competence, And Racial/Ethnic Attitudes, Tinashe Dune, Ritesh Chimoriya, Peter Caputi, Catherine L. Mac Phail, Katarzyna J. Olcon, Anita Ogbeide

Scopus Harvesting Series

Background: Racial, ethnic, religious, and cultural diversity in Australia is rapidly increasing. Although Indigenous Australians account for only approximately 3.5% of the country’s population, over 50% of Australians were born overseas or have at least one migrant parent. Migration accounts for over 60% of Australia’s population growth, with migration from Asia, Sub-Saharan African and the Americas increasing by 500% in the last decade. Little is known about Australian mental health care practitioners’ attitudes toward this diversity and their level of cultural competence. Aim: Given the relationship between practitioner cultural competence and the mental health outcomes of non-White clients, this study …


Inundation Characteristics Of Mangrove And Saltmarsh In Micro-Tidal Estuaries, Kristian Kumbier, Michael Hughes, Kerrylee Rogers, Colin D. Woodroffe Oct 2021

Inundation Characteristics Of Mangrove And Saltmarsh In Micro-Tidal Estuaries, Kristian Kumbier, Michael Hughes, Kerrylee Rogers, Colin D. Woodroffe

Scopus Harvesting Series

Tidal inundation is a principal driver in intertidal wetland functioning. A combination of surface elevation and its relation to tidal range creates inundation regimes that influence a range of abiotic factors that affect wetland species distribution. Hydroperiod is a term frequently used to describe inundation regimes; however, the term has been vaguely defined in the past and typically quantified using tide gauge data rather than empirical field observations. This study explores relationships between various characteristics, such as frequency, total duration, average duration, average depth, non-tidal exposure, and mangrove/saltmarsh distribution in micro-tidal estuarine settings of southeast Australia. Inundation was measured directly …


The Influence Of Mantle Flow On Intracontinental Basins: Three Examples From Australia, Alexander Young, Nicolas Flament, Lisa Hall, Andrew Merdith Apr 2021

The Influence Of Mantle Flow On Intracontinental Basins: Three Examples From Australia, Alexander Young, Nicolas Flament, Lisa Hall, Andrew Merdith

Scopus Harvesting Series

During the Paleozoic, sedimentary basins developed within Gondwana without evolving to diverging plate boundaries. Such intracontinental basins present long subsidence histories with multiple phases of accelerated subsidence that are not always easily explained by far-field tectonic forces, and may be driven by processes other than rifting and thermal subsidence. Here we investigate the subsidence of Paleozoic Australian intracontinental basins by comparing one-dimensional backstripped tectonic subsidence histories from the western Australian Canning and Southern Carnarvon Basins and the central Australian Cooper Basin to forward subsidence models for pure shear lithospheric thinning. We make the hypothesis that differences between observed and model …

Australian Mental Health Care Practitioners’ Construing Of Non-White And White People: Implications For Cultural Competence And Therapeutic Alliance, Tinashe Dune, Peter Caputi, Beverly M. Walker, Katarzyna J. Olcon, Catherine L. Mac Phail, Rubab Firdaus, Jack Thepsourinthone

Scopus Harvesting Series

Background: The development of cultural competence is central to the therapeutic alliance with clients from diverse backgrounds. Given that the majority of Australia’s population growth is due to migration, mental health practitioner construing of non-White and White people has a significant role and impact on client engagement. Method: To examine the impact of mental health practitioner construing on their strategies for cultural competence and the therapeutic alliance, 20 White and non-White mental health practitioners and trainees providing mental health services were purposively sampled and interviewed face-to-face or via videoconferencing. Data was analysed thematically and the impact of construing on practitioner …

A Crisis Of Underinsurance Threatens To Scar Rural Australia Permanently, Chloe Lucas, Christine Eriksen, David M. J. S Bowman Jan 2020

A Crisis Of Underinsurance Threatens To Scar Rural Australia Permanently, Chloe Lucas, Christine Eriksen, David M. J. S Bowman

Faculty of Social Sciences - Papers (Archive)

Australia is in the midst of a bushfire crisis that will affect local communities for years, if not permanently, due to a national crisis of underinsurance. Already more than 1,500 homes have been destroyed - with months still to go in the bushfire season. Compare this to 2009, when Victoria's "Black Saturday" fires claimed more than 2,000 homes in February, or 1983, when the "Ash Wednesday" fires destroyed about 2,400 homes in Victoria and South Australia, also in February. The 2020 fire season could end up surpassing these tragedies, despite the lessons learned and improvements in preparedness. One lesson not …

Illawarra Health and Medical Research Institute

Background: Access to primary care is important for the identification, control and management of cardiometabolic risk factors (CMRFs). This study investigated whether differences in geographic access to primary care explained area-level variation in CMRFs. Methods: Multilevel logistic regression models were used to derive the association between area-level access to primary care and seven discrete CMRFs after adjusting for individual and area-level co-variates. Two-step floating catchment area method was used to calculate the geographic access to primary care for the small areas within the study region. Results: Geographic access to primary care was inversely associated with low high density lipoprotein (OR …

When people first arrived in what is now Queensland, they would have found the land inhabited by massive animals including goannas six metres long and kangaroos twice as tall as a human. We have studied fossil bones of these animals for the past decade. Our findings, published today in Nature Communications, shed new light on the mystery of what drove these ancient megafauna to extinction.

Employment Change In Mining And Manufacturing In Australia, 2010/11 – 2015/16: Dissecting The Subnational Patterns And Concentrations, Shanaka Hereth, Kankesu Jayanthakumaran Jan 2020

Employment Change In Mining And Manufacturing In Australia, 2010/11 – 2015/16: Dissecting The Subnational Patterns And Concentrations, Shanaka Hereth, Kankesu Jayanthakumaran

Faculty of Business and Law - Papers

This paper recognises Krugman’s (1991) core-periphery model and analyses the reallocation of employment across the Australian metro and nonmetro regions over the period 2010/11-2015/16. The differences were interpreted using shift-share analysis and industry-specific location quotients, and patterns of change and concentrations for mining and manufacturing are highlighted, given the significance of these industries during this period. The industry-specific location quotients suggest that there was a shift in relative concentrations of mining and manufacturing industries in non-metropolitan regions. The shift-share results are consistent and suggest that regional specialisation and regional competitiveness are characteristic of employment change in metro regions. In nonmetropolitan …

In this study, we present ground-based measurements of column-averaged dry-air mole fractions (DMFs) of CO2 (or XCO2) taken in a semiarid region of Australia with an EM27/SUN portable spectrometer equipped with an automated clamshell cover. We compared these measurements to space-based XCO2 retrievals from the Greenhouse Gases Observing Satellite (GOSAT). Side-by-side measurements of EM27/SUN with the Total Carbon Column Observing Network (TCCON) instrument at the University of Wollongong were conducted in 2015-2016 to derive an XCO2 scaling factor of 0.9954 relative to TCCON. Although we found a slight drift of 0.13 % over 3 months in the calibration curve of …

Green And Blue Infrastructure In Darwin; Carbon Economies And The Social And Cultural Dimensions Of Valuing Urban Mangroves In Australia, Jennifer M. Atchison Jan 2019

Green And Blue Infrastructure In Darwin; Carbon Economies And The Social And Cultural Dimensions Of Valuing Urban Mangroves In Australia, Jennifer M. Atchison

Faculty of Social Sciences - Papers (Archive)

Darwin's mangrove ecosystems, some of the most extensive and biodiverse in the world, are part of the urban fabric in the tropical north of Australia but they are also clearly at risk from the current scale and pace of development. Climate motivated market-based responses, the so-called 'new-carbon economies', are one prominent approach to thinking differently about the value of living infrastructure and how it might provide for and improve liveability. In the Australian context, there are recent efforts to promote mangrove ecosystems as blue infrastructure, specifically as blue carbon, but also little recognition or valuation of them as green or …
