The oceans play a crucial role in the global environment and the sustainability of human populations, because of their involvement in climate regulation and provision of living and non-living resources to humans. Maintenance of healthy oceans in an era of increasing human pressure requires a high-level understanding of the processes occurring in the marine environment and the impacts of anthropogenic activities. Effective protection and sustainable resource management must be based, in part, on knowledge derived from successful research. Current marine research activities are being limited by a need for high-quality researchers capable of addressing critical issues in broad multidisciplinary research …
Developing Galleria Mellonella As A Model Host For Human Pathogens, Simon M. Cook, Jason D. Mcarthur
Developing Galleria Mellonella As A Model Host For Human Pathogens, Simon M. Cook, Jason D. Mcarthur
Faculty of Science, Medicine and Health - Papers: part A
The larvae of Galleria mellonella (also known colloquially as the wax worm) is increasingly being used as an infection model to study virulence factors and pathogenesis of many prominent bacterial and fungal human pathogens. When compared with traditional mammalian model hosts, invertebrate infection models are cheaper to establish and maintain, are more amenable to high-throughput studies and are not subjected to the same ethical constraints as vertebrates. In addition to these benefits, G. mellonella larvae possess a number of other characteristics which make these organisms particularly useful for the study of human pathogens. Larvae are relatively large in size (12- …
Developing 'Policy Stories' For State Health System Benchmarking: A Small-N Quali-Quantitative Study, Erica Bell, Bastian Seidel
Developing 'Policy Stories' For State Health System Benchmarking: A Small-N Quali-Quantitative Study, Erica Bell, Bastian Seidel
Faculty of Science, Medicine and Health - Papers: part A
Background: The benchmarking literature has made important advances and offers many different population health indicators that can be used to compare state health systems. However, there is still a need for qualitative, complexity-oriented approaches that allow policy-makers to develop explanatory 'policy stories' from combining such indicators that are useful to policy solutions. Methods: A new qualitative method from the social sciences based on Boolean approaches, called Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA), was piloted in a 'real world' policy consultancy to combine Australian state-level indicators of community and health system inputs, interventions, and population health outcomes. Analyses were provided for state inputs …

From Darkness To Lightness: Developing A Working Definition Of Special Observation In An Acute Aged Care Setting, Michael Kerr, Yvonne Verner, Victoria Traynor
From Darkness To Lightness: Developing A Working Definition Of Special Observation In An Acute Aged Care Setting, Michael Kerr, Yvonne Verner, Victoria Traynor
Faculty of Science, Medicine and Health - Papers: part A
Background: Special observation is a practice in common use in acute care settings for older people, in particular when dementia and/or delirium are/is experienced, but there is little evidence of best practice approaches. Aim and objectives: The overall aim of this project was to develop a working definition of special observation in acute aged care settings. The objectives were to identify barriers and enablers for undertaking special observation and compare descriptions of special observation practice by staff with those in policy and related documents. Methods: The setting was an acute care ward in a large regional hospital in New South …
