Assessing the adequacy and sustainability of the Northern Territory health workforce with respect to burden of disease and injury, 2009–2021: an analysis of administrative data
Authors: Zhao Yuejen , Wright Jo , Unnikrishnan Renu , Chondur Ramakrishna , Green Danielle
Published: October 2024

Objectives

To assess the adequacy of the Northern Territory health workforce with respect to population size and burden of disease, overall and by selected health specialties; to assess its sustainability by investigating changes in workforce numbers.

Study design

Analysis of Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) health workforce data (2013–2021) and burden of disease data (disability‐adjusted life‐years, DALYs) drawn from national and NT burden of disease studies (and projected for 2019–2021).

Setting, participants

NT and Australian health workforces, 2009–2021.

Main outcome measures

Adequacy of the NT health workforce, assessed as the ratio of the mean annual numbers of NT health workers per 1000 population or health workers per 1000 DALYs (2009–2013 and 2014–2018) to those of the Australian workforce (2013 and 2018); sustainability of the NT health workforce, defined as the number of health workers per 1000 population or per 1000 DALYs increasing between 2013 and 2021.

Results

The number of health workers per 1000 population was slightly higher in the NT than for Australia in both time periods (2009–2013 v 2013: 23.30 v 21.79 per 1000 population, 6.9% larger; 2014–2018 v 2018: 25.79 v 23.47 per 1000 population, 9.9% larger); however, it was smaller with respect to burden of disease (2009–2013 v 2013: 82.6 v 107.4 health workers per 1000 DALYs, 23.1% fewer; 2014–2018 v 2018: 91.5 v 117.1 per 1000 DALYs, 21.8% fewer). In particular, 464 more nurses and midwives (11.4% more than the mean for 2013–2021), 196 more physiotherapists (115%), 189 more psychologists (102%), 152 more pharmacists (79%), and 144 more dentists (106%) are needed in the NT to match the corresponding numbers of health workers by disease burden for Australia as a whole. The number of Aboriginal health practitioners per 100 000 DALYs fell during the study period.

Conclusion

Health worker population density alone does not reliably assess health workforce needs; burden of disease information is important for workforce planning that meets population health needs. The NT health workforce needs to be increased by about 28% to reflect the population burden of disease and injury. Shortages in the NT health workforce must be eliminated to close health gaps between Indigenous and non‐Indigenous Australians.

Despite several efforts by the Kenyan Government to resolve household food insecurity, Seme Sub- County still has a higher number of households reporting a lack of food or money to purchase food, which is at 41.9 %. This rate is higher than the national proportion, which is at 36.2%. The region also has a higher under-five mortality rate at 72 deaths per 1000 live births compared to the national level of 52 deaths per 1000 live births. Despite the high death rate, Seme Sub-County mothers are still more than 50% likely to introduce complementary feeding early, which predisposes their children to a higherrisk of undernutrition, including stunting,wasting, and being underweight.The objective ofthisstudywasto assessthe demographic, socio-economic, dietary intake, and nutritional status of children aged 1-3 years in households in Seme SubCounty, Kenya. A total of 193 families with children aged 1-3 years were interviewed. A questionnaire was used to collect data on the socio- demographic and socio-economic characteristics of the households. The nutritional status of the child was assessed using anthropometric assessment. Multiple linear regression was used to determine the relationship between dietary intake and nutritional status of children aged 1-3 years. Most children, 38.9%, were stunted, denoting chronic malnutrition and long-term food deprivation in Seme; others were underweight at 16.1%, whereas a few were wasted at 8.8%. These rates are higher than the national rates, where stunting is at 26%, wasting at 4%, and underweight at 11%. The high rates might be attributed to most mothers in Seme Sub-County introducing complementary feeding early, hence predisposing their children to undernutrition (stunting, underweight, wasting). It might also be due to poor consumption of Vitamin A-rich vegetables and tubers by the children, which is 15.6% and most households reporting a lack of food or money to purchase food at 41.9%, which is still higher than the national rate of 36.2%. Further, there was a statistically significant relationship between stunting and low dietary diversity, p=0.02 in children aged 1-3 years, with chances of being stunted increasing by 12 in children aged 1-3 years consuming a lowly diversified diet, holding moderate diet diversity and high dietary diversity constant, β(95%CI) =12(11.92,12.08). This discovery denoted that a childwho ate a lowly diversified diet was most likely to be stunted. Keywords: Nutritional status, dietary diversity, stunting, underweight, wasting

Human development is a significant component of economic growth and development. Therefore, determinants of human development are crucial to designing and implementing the optimal policies to boost economic growth and development. This study investigates the impact of ICT penetration on human development in the Economic Community of West African States for the period of 2000-2018 through bootstrap cointegration and causality tests. The causality analysis disclosed a unilateral causality from internet usage to human development in Benin, Côte d'Ivoire, Nigeria, Senegal, and Sierra Leone and a one-way causality from mobile cellular subscriptions to human development in Côte d'Ivoire, Liberia, Niger, and Togo, but there existed a significant causality from human development to mobile cellular subscriptions in Benin, Cabo Verde, Gambia, and Ghana. On the other side, the cointegration analysis revealed a positive effect of internet usage and mobile cellular subscriptions on human development in the long run.

Published: October 2024

Despite the increasing investment opportunities in emerging technologies, strategic alliance and dynamic investment strategy suffer from a limited understanding of the market investment trends and industry convergence. Therefore, this study aims to develop a structured framework to examine the market diversification trend and the industry-to-industry influential degree. The proposed framework utilizes M&A transaction activities from the interests of buyer and target industries from 2009 to 2018 in North America. The M&A network is then examined for the difference in the structural characteristics between the buyer and target industries. This study identifies market irregularity and diversification trends and applies the initial findings as market-level evidence to elucidate industry convergence potentials. Degrees of a specific industry’s influence on other industries are also presented and discussed from the perspectives of buyer and target industries. The findings of this study contribute to the development of industry convergence conceptual model and advances knowledge regarding market diversification, collaboration-driven industry convergence, and investment strategy.
Der urheber- und lauterkeitsrechtliche Schutz fiktiver Figuren
Authors: Jaafar Wasim
Published: October 2024

The capitalisation of fictional characters has been a mass business not only since the inflationary rise of superhero film adaptations. The commercialisation of characters is therefore correspondingly attractive for imitators. This work examines the protectability of characters from the perspective of copyright and unfair competition law and, in this context, addresses the question of the extent to which the principles developed can be applied to living characters. Finally, an approach is developed that can be used to categorise cases in which the boundary between a real person and a fictional character becomes blurred.
Artificial Intelligence, Patient Autonomy and Informed Consent
Authors: Günther Christian
Published: October 2024

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly being implemented in the healthcare sphere, threatening the ability of patients to make judgments tailored to their personal circumstances and beliefs. This book is concerned with the ability of two legal systems, those of the UK and the U.S., to meet the resulting challenges posed to patient autonomy. It deploys a forward-looking analysis to identify the unique problems raised by clinical AI and to anticipate the responses that are offered by the common law’s doctrine of informed consent. This assessment culminates in a concrete proposal for the regulation of medical AI and an affirmation of the law’s fundamental role in societies’ adaptation to innovative technologies.
A Study on the Effects of Offset and Welding Speed on Bead Shape and Welding Defects in the FCA Fillet Welding Process

Published: October 2024

Many industries, such as automobile, aerospace, heavy industries, etc, have been interested in welding automation due to cost reduction and improving productivity. For welding automation, seam tracking plays an important role for the quality of welds. If the seam is misaligned, it can cause troubles such as weld defects and poor appearance. Most of previous studies have analyzed the influence on the bead shape and weld defects by current, voltage, welding speed, but there is lack of research regarding the effects of misaligned seam, called offset. Thus, in this study, fillet welds were conducted with flux-cored arc welding, which has high welding efficiency and low cost. To find out the guideline of offset, various offsets were intentionally applied to the welding experiments, and the changes in bead shape were observed and weld defects were detected for various combination of offset and welding speed. In addition, the grades of weld defect in each condition were evaluated by ISO 5817, which illustrates the international standard of weld defects. Based on the results, the guidelines of offset was suggested to avoid weld defects.
