Aboriginal And Torres Strait Islander Suicide In Context, Ernest Hunter, Helen Milroy
Aboriginal And Torres Strait Islander Suicide In Context, Ernest Hunter, Helen Milroy
Aboriginal Policy Research Consortium International (APRCi)
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander suicide has been an issue of national public health and mental health concern for only one decade, having increased dramatically from levels that were very low in the late 1980s to levels of young adult male suicide that are now substantially higher than for the non-indigenous population. In this review the authors socially and historically contextualize these changes, identifying the causal frameworks adopted in developing interventions, and present an explanation in narrative and pictorial form that draws on critical family-centered trauma.

Tracing The Geographic Origin Of The Cosmopolitan Parthenogenetic Insect Pest Liposcelis Bostrychophila (Psocoptera: Liposcelididae), K M. Mikac, G M. Clarke
Faculty of Science, Medicine and Health - Papers: part A
The randomly amplified polymorphic DNA technique was used to trace the geographic origin of Liposcelis bostrychophila Badonnel populations in Australia from unknown geographic sources internationally. Haplotype (or clonal) diversity was high, with 474 unique haplotypes found from 616 individuals genotyped. Gene diversity estimates (0.10–0.28) and percent polymorphic loci (38.1–88.1%) were moderate to high for most populations. This resulted in genetic distance estimates that ranged from 0.04 to 0.26 and were significantly different for most pairwise population combinations. G ST values for all populations were also moderate (0.04–0.54) and again were significantly different for most pairwise population comparisons. Analysis of molecular …
