One Hundred Years From Today, Gregory C G Moore
One Hundred Years From Today, Gregory C G Moore
Business Papers and Journal Articles
William James Ashley (1860-1927) was one of the leading historical economists of his generation and, along with Archdeacon William Cunningham and William Albert Hewins, he was instrumental in harnessing historicist principles to support the corporatist-cum-protectionist movement that grew to prominence in the late-Victorian and Edwardian periods. Ashley's influence on the formation of policy within this movement reached its peak with the publication in 1903 of The Tariff Problem, which was issued shortly after the mercurial Joseph Chamberlain launched his political campaign to reintroduce a tariff structure in Great Britain.
Implementing A Fundamental Movement Skill Program In An Early Childhood Setting: The Children’S Perspectives, Beth P. Hands, Marie Martin
Implementing A Fundamental Movement Skill Program In An Early Childhood Setting: The Children’S Perspectives, Beth P. Hands, Marie Martin
Health Sciences Papers and Journal Articles
Ample evidence exists about the importance of physical activity for developing and maintaining an active and healthy lifestyle. As many habits are formed when young, well planned and effective movement programs specifically designed for young children are important. In this paper, the influence of a new teaching resource designed to support teachers in implementing a fundamental movement skill program on the children in the classes is presented using a case study approach. The case studies were constructed with teachers and children in a range of early childhood settings. The impact of the program on the children’s level of confidence, knowledge …

How Unique Was The Chicago Tradition? - Introduction, Robert Leeson
Business Book Chapters
The first part of this chapter describes and elaborates upon the contributions made to this expanding literature by Tom Cate, J. Ronnie Davis, David Laidler, Joseph Aschheim and George Tavlas regarding the claim that inter-war Chicago exhibited unique quantity theory characteristics. The second part examines the so-called “‘Chicago Plan’ of Banking Reform”, described by Albert Hart (1935), a Chicago graduate student of the 1930s. The Chicago Plan was a response to the Great Depression which required all banks to hold 100% reserves against their deposits, thus eliminating the instability caused by fractional reserves.

The Debate Widens - Introduction, Robert Leeson
The Debate Widens - Introduction, Robert Leeson
Business Book Chapters
Shortly after Don Patinkin’s initial assault on Milton Friedman, Thomas Humphrey (chapter 14 [1971], 12) highlighted the importance of the contributions (“overlooked by both Patinkin and Friedman”) made to the quantity theory between 1930-50 by four non-Chicagoan economists: Carl Synder, Lionel Edie, Lauchlin Currie and Clark Warburton. There are similarities between Friedman’s version of the Chicago monetary tradition and Currie’s Supply and Control of Money in the United States (1934). Also, Currie’s (1962 [1934]) essay on ‘The Failure of Monetary Policy to Prevent the Depression of 1929-32’ interpreted the Great Depression as a Great Contraction in a manner which foreshadowed …

Towards A Resolution Of The Dispute - Introduction, Robert Leeson
Business Book Chapters
The chapters in Part Four fall into four sections. The first three chapters represent Patinkin’s ongoing scholarly interest in explaining the evolution of Keynes’ economics and his relationship to the Chicago economists. In his Sir Dennis Robertson lecture, Patinkin (chapter 44 [1974], 4, 27, 12) explained that he was using the term “Keynesian monetary theory” in contrast to “the quantity theory” to describe “the General Theory and the literature to which it gave rise – though I should note that the aspect of the theory that is my primary concern here (namely, the treatment of money from the viewpoint of …
Implementing A Fundamental Movement Skill Program In An Early Childhood Setting: The Teachers’ Perspectives, Marie Martin, Beth P. Hands
Implementing A Fundamental Movement Skill Program In An Early Childhood Setting: The Teachers’ Perspectives, Marie Martin, Beth P. Hands
Health Sciences Papers and Journal Articles
The place of explicit movement skill development programs in early childhood settings is contentious. However given the growing understanding that movement competence is important for maintaining an active and healthy lifestyle (Hands, Parker, & Larkin, 2001), well planned and effective programs specifically designed for young children are important.
In this paper, the influence of a new teaching resource designed to support teachers in implementing a fundamental movement skill program is presented using a case study approach. The case studies were constructed with teachers working in a range of early childhood settings. The impact of the program on teachers’ level of …
Physical Wellness: The Relationship Between Motor Skill, Fitness And Physical Activity In Young Children, Beth P. Hands, Helen Parker
Physical Wellness: The Relationship Between Motor Skill, Fitness And Physical Activity In Young Children, Beth P. Hands, Helen Parker
Health Sciences Conference Papers
The health benefits of adequate physical activity levels for children are well reported. However, we cannot assume that children will choose to be sufficiently active of their own accord. Motor competence and fitness are increasingly highlighted as key co-determinants of physical activity in young children (Hands, Parker, & Larkin, 2001) and where possible strategies to enhance these factors should be included in early childhood settings. However few studies have adopted an integrated view of the collective effects of these three factors on developing healthy children. This presentation explores interrelationships between measures of motor skill competence, fitness, and weekly physical activity …
Primary Boycotts And Medical Services, Philip J. Evans
Primary Boycotts And Medical Services, Philip J. Evans
Law Papers and Journal Articles
The Trade Practices Act 1974 (Cth) (the TPA), prohibits the making of, or the giving effect to, contracts, agreements or understandings between competitors which purport to prevent the supply of goods or services to persons. These arrangements are known as exclusionary provisions or primary boycotts.
This article discusses the role of the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) in enforcing the prohibition of the making of exclusionary provisions and the application of the relevant legal principles. An understanding of these principles is important to all those involved in allied health professions.
The article further discusses two recent examples where medical …

The Independence Of The Judiciary As The Base Of Business And Economic Development, The Hon David K. Malcolm
Law Conference Papers
The rapid nature of information exchange, the increasingly porous nature of international boundaries through electronic communications and the movement of capital and labour have presented a range of new issues in the administration of justice. These have major implications for the Courts and the role of the Courts, particularly in newly liberalised economies. International trade has raised issues concerning both substantive law and procedure. Foreign investment in the Asia Pacific region and the increasing affluence of particular socio-economic groups in countries throughout Asia and the Pacific has seen increasing demands for the reform of the law and the methods of …
The Independence Of The Judiciary In The Asia-Pacific Region, The Hon David K. Malcolm
The Independence Of The Judiciary In The Asia-Pacific Region, The Hon David K. Malcolm
Law Conference Papers
It is almost universally acknowledged that one of the hallmarks of a democracy is the independence of the Judiciary. A Judiciary which exists merely to do a Government's bidding or to implement Government policy provides no guarantee of liberty. What do we mean by independence of the Judiciary? The former Chief Justice of Tasmania, Sir Guy Green has defined it as "the capacity of the courts to perform their constitutional function free from actual or apparent interference by, and to the extent that it is constitutionally possible, free from actual or apparent dependence upon, any persons or institutions, including, in …
Space-Time-Event-Motion (Stem): A New Metaphor For A New Concept Based On A Triadic Model And Process Philosophy, Joseph Naimo
Space-Time-Event-Motion (Stem): A New Metaphor For A New Concept Based On A Triadic Model And Process Philosophy, Joseph Naimo
Philosophy Conference Papers
The disciplinary enterprises engaged in the study of consciousness now extend beyond their original paradigms providing additional knowledge toward an overall understanding of the fundamental meaning and scope of consciousness. A new transdisciplinary domain has resulted from the syncretism of several approaches bringing about a new paradigm. The background for this overarching enterprise draws from a variety of traditions. In this paper however elaboration is restricted to the quantum-mechanical account in David Bohm’s theoretical work in relation to his ideas about “active information”, “protointelligence”, and “non-locality”. This leads to an adapted version of Bohm’s thesis concerning the implicate order and …
Australia And Its Regions - People And Place, Neil Drew
Australia And Its Regions - People And Place, Neil Drew
Sciences Conference Papers
This discussion focuses on how regions are created in political, geographical and in social terms within Australia and whether regions matter and if regional governance is important.
In almost every indicator regional communities are worse off than their city counterparts: domestic violence is higher; suicide rates are higher; computer literacy and usage is lower; unemployment rates are higher; and, incomes are lower.
• Today 66 per cent of people live in cities, a further 20 per cent in inner regional areas.
• At the beginning of last century 37 per cent of the population lived in cities and 54 per …

The Network is part of the Health Inequalities Research Collaboration, now known as the Health Inequalities Ministerial Advisory Committee, a Commonwealth Department of Health and Ageing initiative. Its goal is to enhance Australia’s knowledge of the causes of and effective responses to health inequalities, and to promote vigorously the application of this evidence to reduce health inequalities in Australia. This Committee was established in response to the increasing concern for health …
From Keynes To Friedman Via Mints: Resolving The Dispute Over The Quantity Theory Oral Tradition, Robert Leeson
From Keynes To Friedman Via Mints: Resolving The Dispute Over The Quantity Theory Oral Tradition, Robert Leeson
Business Book Chapters
The Keynes Before Keynes
Milton Friedman (chapter 2 [1956], 3-4) asserted that “Chicago was one of the few academic centres at which the quantity theory continued to be a central and vigorous part of the oral tradition throughout the 1930’s and 1940’s”. Friedman sought to “nurture” the revival of the quantity theory by linking it to this Chicago “oral tradition”. According to Friedman the “flavor” of this oral tradition was captured in a model in which the quantity theory was “in the first instance a theory of the demand for money”. Friedman added that to “the best of my knowledge …
The Initial Controversy - Introduction, Robert Leeson
The Initial Controversy - Introduction, Robert Leeson
Business Book Chapters
During the middle third of the twentieth century, the ideas of John Maynard Keynes and those who described themselves as “Keynesians” acquired a profound influence over both the economics profession and the macroeconomic policy process. After the publication of Milton Friedman’s (1956) Studies in the Quantity Theory of Money, Keynesians were obliged to compete with “monetarists” for policy and intellectual influence. These two volumes examine aspects of this counter-revolution by focusing on Friedman’s claim that he was merely formalising the macroeconomic ideas of the first generation Chicago School, at whose “feet” he “sat” in 1932-3 and 1934-5 (Friedman chapter …
Our Cries In His Cry: Suffering And The Crucified God, Michael D. Stringer
Our Cries In His Cry: Suffering And The Crucified God, Michael D. Stringer
Theses
This study examines Jurgen Moltmann's trinitarian theology of the cross in 'The Crucified God' (1974) in its relevance for the problem of human suffering.
Sitting On The Rail: The Westralian Worker's Response To Wartime Issues, Robert P. Corr
Sitting On The Rail: The Westralian Worker's Response To Wartime Issues, Robert P. Corr
Theses
The Westralian Worker occupies a privileged place in Western Australia's labour history, as the working class movement's official organ. This study seeks to understand how the paper dealt with its conflicting roles as reflector and projector of labour movement opinion - the observer-agent dichotomy. It does so by analysing the Worker's response to some of the major issues facing labour during World War I. The peace movement, anti-German attitudes, the persecution of the IWW, and the conscription debates are considered. It will be argued that the Worker attempted to accommodate a wide range of views, but as organised labour's divisions …
Identification Of A Minimal Promoter Sequence For The Human N-Acetyltransferase Type I Gene That Binds Ap-1 (Activator Protein 1) And Yy-1 (Yin And Yang 1), Neville J. Butcher, Ajanthy Arulpragasam, Catherine Pope, Rodney F. Minchin
Identification Of A Minimal Promoter Sequence For The Human N-Acetyltransferase Type I Gene That Binds Ap-1 (Activator Protein 1) And Yy-1 (Yin And Yang 1), Neville J. Butcher, Ajanthy Arulpragasam, Catherine Pope, Rodney F. Minchin
Medical Papers and Journal Articles
Human N-acetyltransferase Type I (NAT1) catalyses the acetylation of many aromatic amine and hydrazine compounds and it has been implicated in the catabolism of folic acid. The enzyme is widely expressed in the body, although there are considerable differences in the level of activity between tissues. A search of the mRNA databases revealed the presence of several NAT1 transcripts in human tissue that appear to be derived from different promoters. Because little is known about NAT1 gene regulation, the present study was undertaken to characterize one of the putative promoter sequences of the NAT1 gene located just upstream of …
Emmanuel Lévinas And Christian Theology, Glenn J. Morrison
Emmanuel Lévinas And Christian Theology, Glenn J. Morrison
Theology Papers and Journal Articles
Faithful to the Talmudic tradition and seared by the experience of the Shoah, Levinas’s life work is both a polemic against Christianity and a proclamation of the Christianity envisaged by Matt 25. His writings inevitably touch on theological themes central to Christian tradition. The author examines four of these – God and love of neighbour, the paschal theme, cosmology, and Eucharist – to show how Levinas can throw new light on these mysteries of our faith, a light that shines from the crucible of kenotic love, both human and divine.

The Kelly Gang Reborn: The First Australian Mounted Unit To See Active Service In The Second World War, Peter J. Dean
Arts Papers and Journal Articles
In the pre-dawn chill the sentries shifted in their positions and stared at the rocky hills and mountains beyond their position. The camp stirred to the familiar smell of horse feed and the jingle of a bridle as the men, adorned in their distinctive slouch hats, prepared for their early morning patrol. Before them lay the vast expanse of the Middle East. The desert, rock and sands of Syria.
The Middle East; desert, sand, horses and slouch hats invokes the images of the triumphant Australian Light Horse of World War One. It brings to mind images and memories such as …
The Triune Drama Of The Resurrection Levinas' Non-Phenomenology, Glenn J. Morrison
The Triune Drama Of The Resurrection Levinas' Non-Phenomenology, Glenn J. Morrison
Theology Papers and Journal Articles
The article aims to develop the philosophy of Emmanuel Levinas as a valuable new perspective in understanding the triune drama of the Resurrection. Firstly, the juxtaposition of Levinas’ thought and Christian theology will be argued for, followed by a development of von Balthasar’s Trinitarian theology of the Resurrection. Especially, Levinas’ non-phenomenological notion of “otherness” will be used to offer an understanding of the Risen Christ’s “Otherness” as communicating the non-phenomenality of Holy Saturday to the disciples. As a result, we discover significant theological openings towards a vision of a Biblical God free from the constraints of ontological thinking and phenomenal …
