Population growth and change: implications for Australia's cities and regions

Australia's distinctive pattern of settlement has long presented a suite of social, economic, infrastructural, and environmental challenges for the nation's cities and regions. These challenges will be intensified by the population growth and dynamics anticipated in the 2010 Intergenerational Report. Future growth will inevitably have differential impacts for metropolitan, regional, and rural settlements, and for inland and coastal regions. This paper analyses current trends and likely directions in population change and distribution and the major implications for the nation's metropolitan and non-metropolitan areas. For Australia's cities, core issues include: access to affordable housing, suitable employment, infrastructure, and services; managing growth within environmental constraints; and the political management of popular anxieties around urban diversity and consolidation. For rural regions, processes of depopulation, demographic decline, ageing, and threats to community socio-economic viability are intermingled with differential patterns of repopulation and consolidation, and issues of growth management. While the paper works through the distinctive character of the issues facing urban and regional contexts, it also highlights the interconnected nature of demographic change in Australia's settlement system and the questions that these pose for urban and regional governance.
Legumes - the alternative raw materials for bread production.

Legumes are an important group of cultural plants cultivated for their seeds which are suitable for human nutrition. They are rich in proteins, minerals, vitamins and sugars in seeds guaranteeing a high biological value and a wide use in human nutrition. Experimental loaves prepared from mixtures of wheat flour T 512 and pulverized lentil and chickpea in amount of 10 – 50 % showed with higher addition lower volume, specific loaf volume, volume efficiency and cambering in comparison to control ones. Nevertheless, from nutritive point of view the higher content of proteins with a suitable fraction structure and higher content of minerals with substances indispensable for humans were a significant contribution. From the technological point of view chickpea appeared to be more suitable raw material. Its addition in a portion of 10 % improved technological parameters of pastry. From the nutritive point of view, lentil was an excellent raw material. The best qualitative parameters (objective as well as subjective) were found in bread with addition of 10 % of chickpea.
Changes in Arctic melt season and implications for sea ice loss

The Arctic‐wide melt season has lengthened at a rate of 5 days decade−1 from 1979 to 2013, dominated by later autumn freezeup within the Kara, Laptev, East Siberian, Chukchi, and Beaufort seas between 6 and 11 days decade−1. While melt onset trends are generally smaller, the timing of melt onset has a large influence on the total amount of solar energy absorbed during summer. The additional heat stored in the upper ocean of approximately 752 MJ m−2 during the last decade increases sea surface temperatures by 0.5 to 1.5 °C and largely explains the observed delays in autumn freezeup within the Arctic Ocean's adjacent seas. Cumulative anomalies in total absorbed solar radiation from May through September for the most recent pentad locally exceed 300–400 MJ m−2 in the Beaufort, Chukchi, and East Siberian seas. This extra solar energy is equivalent to melting 0.97 to 1.3 m of ice during the summer.
Transcranial magnetic stimulation for the treatment of major depression

Major depression is often difficult to diagnose accurately. Even when the diagnosis is properly made, standard treatment approaches (eg, psychotherapy, medications, or their combination) are often inadequate to control acute symptoms or maintain initial benefit. Additional obstacles involve safety and tolerability problems, which frequently preclude an adequate course of treatment. This leaves an important gap in our ability to properly manage major depression in a substantial proportion of patients, leaving them vulnerable to ensuing complications (eg, employment-related disability, increased risk of suicide, comorbid medical disorders, and substance abuse). Thus, there is a need for more effective and better tolerated approaches. Transcranial magnetic stimulation is a neuromodulation technique increasingly used to partly fill this therapeutic void. In the context of treating depression, we critically review the development of transcranial magnetic stimulation, focusing on the results of controlled and pragmatic trials for depression, which consider its efficacy, safety, and tolerability.
To Measure or not to Measure: Geochemical Analysis of Siliceous Materials in the Interior Plateau of British Columbia

Lithic sourcing studies remain one of the most effective ways to establish past trade networks and cross cultural connections within a region. The nature of trade within the British Columbian Interior Plateau may be assessed by analysing chert debitage excavated from Structure 109 at Keatley Creek and its archaeological and geological origins/quarries. This paper discusses both the potential and limitations of a current lithic sourcing study that is attempting to utilize petrographic and geochemical methods to characterize and correlate chert and chalcedony artefacts to their geologic sources.
Lateral variations and linkages in thrust geometry: the Traligill Transverse Zone, Assynt Culmination, Moine Thrust Belt, NW Scotland

Abstract Abrupt lateral changes in thrust geometry occur in many fold-and-thrust belts along so-called transverse zones, commonly related to pre-existing basement faults. However, the causative structures are usually concealed. We analyse here the Traligill Transverse Zone in the Assynt Culmination of the Caledonian Moine Thrust Belt, NW Scotland. This transverse zone trends sub-parallel to the WNW transport direction and is associated with en echelon faults cutting thrusts, discontinuity of thrust architecture and oblique fold-and-thrust structures. Thick thrust sheets north of the Transverse Zone contain thick basement slices; thrust sheets to the south are thin and involve a thin-bedded sequence. The Traligill Transverse Zone developed above the Loch Assynt Fault, a basement cross-fault, and reactivated Proterozoic ductile shearzone. Piercing point analysis shows that the cross-fault was active both before and after thrusting. Thrusting thus affected strata that were already disrupted by steep faults. The amplitude of the disturbance in fold-and-thrust architecture along the Traligill Transverse Zone is much greater than the vertical displacement along the fault; this is attributed to localized transpressional thrust-stacking. Other basement cross-faults and their relationship with lateral variations within the Moine Thrust Belt and in other thrust belts are discussed.
Modelling the continuum as paradigm shift in recordkeeping and archiving processes, and beyond Ö a personal reflection

This article outlines the development of a records continuum model initially developed as a teaching tool to communicate evidence‐based approaches to archives and records management. The continuum is being used in Australia as a metaphor to assist in getting records management ‘right’ in recordkeeping environments built around electronic communications, and the model supports this endeavour. It extends the concept of the continuum beyond metaphor, representing the case for viewing it in its fuller spacetime meanings as a worldview. In this form, the continuum is potentially a technologically driven paradigm shift within all information management and systems practice. There is a new game developing and the concept of the continuum can help us re‐organise our knowledge for that game. This article will discuss the diversity of records management theory and practice. It will look at the meanings of the continuum and my own model of it, including the differences between a worldview and a detailed view. Three other continuum models are presented. A continuum ‘patrol and control’ strategy for analysis is outlined briefly, and represents a point at which my own approach to the continuum is taking off into more detailed practical considerations in records management education and training.
Master‟s thesis

In this thesis, the communication of the Danish People‟s Party (DPP), the Party for Freedom (PVV) and the Sweden Democrats is analysed. The particular focus is on the three parties‟ paradoxical presentation of national identity including values such as liberal-mindedness and tolerance while simultaneously arguing for intolerance towards Islam and Muslims. In other words, the focus of this thesis is answering the question „Why, according to the DPP, PVV and SD, is it necessary to be intolerant towards Islam and Muslims in order to remain tolerant and liberal? ‟. Before analysing the communication of the three parties, the political and cultural contexts in Denmark, the Netherlands and Sweden are examined. This background analysis shows how the immigration and multiculturalism debates have developed in the latter part of the 1900s up until today. It is seen that Denmark and the Netherlands today have very restrictive immigration policies and allow for a tone in the debate that many consider too harsh. In Sweden, it is not quite as harsh, although the debate seems to have become a little more critical than it used to be. The background analysis furthermore shows that particularly Danes have a clear vision of what Danish national identity is, whereas the Dutchmen are more polarised, partly showing an identity crisis. Concerning religion, the Danes and the Swedes value secularism, but still regard Christianity as important. In the Netherlands, the relationship with religion is more polarised in that a large percentage of the Dutch are non-ecclesiastic, but at the same time, three Christian parties have seats in parliament. All three nationalities seem to view themselves as tolerant and liberal, just as all three nationalities‟ attitudes towards Muslims and Islam are fairly polarised. The analyses of the DPP, PVV and SD‟s communication show very similar portrayals of national identity. All three parties emphasise liberalmindedness, tolerance and free speech as important values of their respective national identities. Furthermore, they highlight the importance of secularism, but simultaneously argue for the importance of Christianity for their respective societies, although to differing degrees. Particularly the DPP emphasises the influence of Christianity on Danish society, whereas the PVV focuses on religion the least. All three parties are positive towards tradition and the way things used to be in Denmark, the Netherlands and Sweden, but simultaneously criticise Islam for being a backwards religion. Islam, the parties argue, is an intolerant, suppressive and even violent ideology that strives for political influence. Hence, according to the three parties, allowing Islam to influence society essentially means allowing for society to become Islamic. Thereby, intolerance towards Islam is necessary in order for Denmark, the Netherlands and Sweden to remain liberal and tolerant.
Long‐term experimentally deepened snow decreases growing‐season respiration in a low‐ and high‐arctic tundra ecosystem

Tundra soils store large amounts of carbon (C) that could be released through enhanced ecosystem respiration (ER) as the arctic warms. Over time, this may change the quantity and quality of available soil C pools, which in‐turn may feedback and regulate ER responses to climate warming. Therefore, short‐term increases in ER rates due to experimental warming may not be sustained over longer periods, as observed in other studies. One important aspect, which is often overlooked, is how climatic changes affecting ER in one season may carry‐over and determine ER in following seasons. Using snow fences, we increased snow depth and thereby winter soil temperatures in a high‐arctic site in Svalbard (78°N) and a low‐arctic site in the Northwest Territories, Canada (64°N), for 5 and 9 years, respectively. Deepened snow enhanced winter ER while having negligible effect on growing‐season soil temperatures and soil moisture. Growing‐season ER at the high‐arctic site was not affected by the snow treatment after 2 years. However, surprisingly, the deepened snow treatments significantly reduced growing‐season ER rates after 5 years at the high‐arctic site and after 8–9 years at the low‐arctic site. We speculate that the reduction in ER rates, that became apparent only after several years of experimental manipulation, may, at least in part, be due to prolonged depletion of labile C substrate as a result of warmer soils over multiple cold seasons. Long‐term changes in winter climate may therefore significantly influence annual net C balance not just because of increased wintertime C loss but also because of “legacy” effects on ER rates during the following growing seasons.

FUNDAÇÃO GETULIO VARGAS ESCOLA DE ECONOMIA DE SÃO PAULO RICARDO BUSCARIOLLI PEREIRA WHAT IF FIRMS ADJUST THEIR DEBT-EQUITY RATIOS TOWARD A TARGET RANGE? São Paulo 2009

We estimate optimal target-ranges of capital structure controlling for a series of firmspecific characteristics and accounting for the serial correlation that arises from the dynamic component of the leverage choice. Then, we empirically examine if firms adjust their leverages toward the estimated optimal ranges. Our analysis suggests that the observed behavior of firms is consistent with the notion of range-adjustment. JEL classification: G32
FUNDAÇÃO GETÚLIO VARGAS ESCOLA DE ECONOMIA DE SÃO PAULO FERNANDO MORAIS FARRÉ SALAZAR ASSESSING COMPETITION IN BANKING INDUSTRY: A MULTIPRODUCT APPROACH SÃO PAULO

This paper aims to investigate the competition aspects of banking multiproduct operation. Based on an extension of Panzar and Rosse (1987)’s test to the case of a multiproduct banking firm, we take advantage of a new dataset constructed to Brazilian banking conglomerates to infer the impact of conglomeration on market power. We find that banks offering classic (i.e., loans and credit cards) and other bank products (i.e., brokerage services, insurance and capitalization bonds) have substantially higher market power than the ones which offer only classic products. Results suggest a positive bias on the traditional estimates of competition in which the multioutput actions are not taken into account.
Drug Therapies for Diabetes

The treatment of type 2 diabetes (T2D) necessitates a multifaceted approach that combines behavioral and pharmacological interventions to mitigate complications and sustain a high quality of life. Treatment encompasses the management of glucose levels, weight, cardiovascular risk factors, comorbidities, and associated complications through medication and lifestyle adjustments. Metformin, a standard in diabetes management, continues to serve as the primary, first-line oral treatment across all age groups due to its efficacy, versatility in combination therapy, and cost-effectiveness. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RA) offer notable benefits for HbA1c and weight reduction, with significant cardiovascular benefits. Sodium-glucose cotransporter inhibitors (SGLT-2i) lower glucose levels independently of insulin while conferring notable benefits for cardiovascular, renal, and heart-failure outcomes. Combined therapies emphasizing early and sustained glycemic control are promising options for diabetes management. As insulin therapy remains pivotal, metformin and non-insulin agents such as GLP-1 RA and SGLT-2i offer compelling options. Notably, exciting novel treatments like the dual GLP-1/ glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) agonist show promise for substantially reducing glycated hemoglobin and body weight. This comprehensive review highlights the evolving landscape of pharmacotherapy in diabetes, the drugs currently available for treating diabetes, their effectiveness and efficacy, the impact on target organs, and side effects. This work also provides insights that can support the customization of treatment strategies.
Research Translation and Impact of a Program of Work to Support Carers of a Person with Depressive or Anxiety Symptoms

In 2018, Every Mind responded to a lack of research into supports for carers of a person with depressive or anxiety symptoms, by designing, piloting, and implementing an online support program targeting these carers. Previous publications have documented several benefits of this research, such as the program’s feasibility, acceptability, and trends in efficacy. Although these results are promising, a deeper examination of the societal and economic significance of the research is warranted. The present study utilised the Framework to Assess the Impact from Translational Health Research (FAIT) and examined program documentation to retrospectively assess the benefits, costs and lessons learned from the Minds Together research. The results revealed that the benefits were widespread, particularly in capacity building. The economic analysis found a return on investment of over $80,000 AUD 2022. The study also emphasised the role of research centre staff in communicating and disseminating research findings. The retrospective application of FAIT to the Minds Together program proved feasible and has provided valuable insights. The present study highlights the comprehensive benefits of Minds Together beyond the trial outcomes reported in previous studies and emphasises the advantages of using health economics methodologies to examine the impacts of research targeting informal carers.
Surgical problems among the elderly in Malaysia.

According to the 1991 population census, just under a million Malaysians are elderly. By universal convention the elderly are people who are above the age of 65 years. They comprise 3.7% of our population. To make a comparison, in the United States the elderly comprise 13% of the population and are expected to increase to 16% by the year 2025. They are, in that year, expected to consume 25% of the US medical budget. It was in 1900 when the elderly in the US comprised 4% of the pupulation. Our Malaysian population is therefore comparatively young but with better nutrition and health the proportion of the population who are· elderly in Malaysia will invariably rise.
Water‐quality response to a high‐elevation wildfire in the Colorado Front Range

Water quality of the Big Thompson River in the Front Range of Colorado was studied for 2 years following a high‐elevation wildfire that started in October 2012 and burned 15% of the watershed. A combination of fixed‐interval sampling and continuous water‐quality monitors was used to examine the timing and magnitude of water‐quality changes caused by the wildfire. Prefire water quality was well characterized because the site has been monitored at least monthly since the early 2000s. Major ions and nitrate showed the largest changes in concentrations; major ion increases were greatest in the first postfire snowmelt period, but nitrate increases were greatest in the second snowmelt period. The delay in nitrate release until the second snowmelt season likely reflected a combination of factors including fire timing, hydrologic regime, and rates of nitrogen transformations. Despite the small size of the fire, annual yields of dissolved constituents from the watershed increased 20–52% in the first 2 years following the fire. Turbidity data from the continuous sensor indicated high‐intensity summer rain storms had a much greater effect on sediment transport compared to snowmelt. High‐frequency sensor data also revealed that weekly sampling missed the concentration peak during snowmelt and short‐duration spikes during rain events, underscoring the challenge of characterizing postfire water‐quality response with fixed‐interval sampling.

Identification and Control Design for an Experimental Setup to Take Home

From classroom experience arises a necessity to demonstrate control outcomes through physical examples. One option to carry out these experiments is by using electronics to implement systems, along with microcontrollers to handle data acquisition and control tasks. In this study, a system that generates heat by passing current through the collector-emitter of a power transistor is implemented. The current flow is regulated by a PWM signal applied to the base. A temperature sensor is constructed using a thermistor, which provides feedback on the temperature and compares it to a reference value. The control scheme is implemented using an affordable microcontroller. Input-output measurements for open-loop process identification are performed using the same microcontroller with the support of a Python program. The results are presented to facilitate DIY implementation and to aid in better understanding of various concepts.
