Making Histories: Developing An Oral History Of All In Australia, Alisa J. Percy, Bronwyn James, Tim Beaumont, Reem Al Mahmood
Senior Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Education) - Papers
How might our present understandings of our professional identities, our struggles, our achievements and our capacities for agency be better understood through the memories and accounts of those who championed our emergence? What might oral accounts of the emergence of our field offer beyond what can be gathered from its existing literature? Indeed, why look at the history of a professional field at all? This session approaches such questions by reporting on oral accounts of the emergence and evolution of ALL in Australia. As we note some of the insights and lived experiences of those engaged in the formative years …

Embracing Complexity In Engineering Education: A Way Forward For Developing Intercultural Competency, Thomas Goldfinch
Embracing Complexity In Engineering Education: A Way Forward For Developing Intercultural Competency, Thomas Goldfinch
Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part A
towards engineering education that prepares graduates to work effectively across foreign cultures and customs1-3. The author argues that while this outward focus is important and necessary, there is also a need to focus on preparing graduates for cultural issues that will arise much closer to home. Identifying, and working with subtle cultural differences that can occur in workplaces, organizations and the community, where the population may initially appear monocultural, presents unique challenges. The way in which one assumes cultural uniformity in a given situation can contribute to the oversimplification of a problem, and subsequently the pursuit of ineffective solutions. In …

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 …

Developing The Design Of A Continuous National Health Survey For New Zealand, Robert Graham Clark, Robert Templeton, Anne Mcnicholas
Developing The Design Of A Continuous National Health Survey For New Zealand, Robert Graham Clark, Robert Templeton, Anne Mcnicholas
Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part A
Background A continuously operating survey can yield advantages in survey management, field operations, and the provision of timely information for policymakers and researchers. We describe the key features of the sample design of the New Zealand (NZ) Health Survey, which has been conducted on a continuous basis since mid-2011, and compare to a number of other national population health surveys. Methods A number of strategies to improve the NZ Health Survey are described: implementation of a targeted dual-frame sample design for better Maori, Pacific, and Asian statistics; movement from periodic to continuous operation; use of core questions with rotating topic …
