description: O censo agropecuário 1995-96 é utilizado para estudar os fatores responsáveis pelas diferenças na pobreza entre os estabelecimentos agrícolas no Brasil. As diferenças entre as regiões e as seguintes dicotomias são analisadas: proprietários/não proprietários; familiares/não familiares; intensivos em insumos/não intensivos; com/sem máquinas. O artigo utiliza uma metodologia semiparamétrica. Primeiro, uma função fronteira estocástica de lucro é estimada. Em seguida, simulações não paramétricas contrafactuais são utilizadas para identificar os fatores que explicam as diferenças em pobreza. Os fatores incluem o tamanho da propriedade, o trabalho familiar, a lucratividade e as variáveis utilizadas para explicar a lucratividade no modelo de fronteira estocástica. O artigo conclui que a falta de terra e os baixos níveis de produtividade são importantes motivos para a pobreza entre produtores agrícolas. É improvável que qualquer um deles isoladamente possa solucionar o problema da pobreza. As diferenças em “eficiência” – capturadas pelo termo de erro na função fronteira de lucro – são importantes para explicar as diferenças entre os pobres e os não pobres, mas não para as demais dicotomias estudadas. Isto sugere que os fatores não observáveis – como restrições ou falhas de mercado – são importantes para explicar a pobreza entre produtores agrícolas no Brasil. ....The 1995-96 agricultural census is used to explore factors that account for differences in poverty among agricultural establishments in Brazil. Differences across regions and the following dichotomies are analyzed: owners/non-owners, family/non-family, input intensive/non-intensive, with machines/without machines. The paper uses a semi-parametric methodology. First, a stochastic frontier profit function is estimated. Then, non-parametric counterfactual simulations are used to identify factors which explain differences in poverty. Factors include farm size, family labor, profitability and the variables used to explain profitability in the stochastic frontier model. The paper concludes that lack of land and low levels of productivity are both important reasons for poverty among agricultural producers. It is unlikely that either one alone could solve the poverty problem. Differences in “efficiency” – captured by the error term in the frontier profit function – are important to explain differences between the poor and non-poor, but not for any of the other dichotomies studied. This suggests that unobservable factors – such as restrictions or market failures – are important to explain poverty among agricultural producers in Brazil.

description: The five different CP conserving amplitudes for the decays $K\to3π$ are calculated using Chiral Perturbation Theory. The calculation is made to next-to-leading order and includes full isospin breaking. The squared amplitudes are compared with the corresponding ones in the isospin limit to estimate the size of the isospin breaking effects. In this paper we add the radiative corrections to the earlier calculated $m_u-m_d$ and local electromagnetic effects. We find corrections of order 5-10 percent.

description: The tragic destruction of a 46,000 year old cave in Juunkan Gorge in the Pilbara by mining giant Rio Tinto has attracted national and international criticism. But sadly the company’s actions were lawful, though wrong, due to the shockingly out of date and weak law in Western Australia relating to Aboriginal cultural heritage. But Western Australia is not alone. Its law dates back to 1972, while the equivalent law in New South Wales came only two years later and is just as outdated. Aboriginal people in New South Wales have been trying to strengthen the law that is supposed to protect their cultural heritage since the late 1970s, but reform remains elusive. Meanwhile hundreds of important sites continue to be destroyed, and failed appeals by Aboriginal custodians to the Commonwealth only reinforce the need for urgent law reform at every level.

description: Die vorliegende Masterarbeit befasst sich im Allgemeinen mit den Themen des Bauens unter der Erde, des Badens und dem Tourismus im ländlichen Raum. Nach einer kurzen Einführung in die Entwicklung des Bauens unter der Erde sowie der Geschichte und Entwicklung der Region, beschäftigt sich die Arbeit mit der Bauaufgabe eines Wellnesscenters. Der Bauplatz befindet sich an einem Stausee in Urbersdorf, einer sehr ländlichen und touristisch eher wenig frequentierten Region in Südburgenland. Dort soll ein Wellnesscenter mit Platz für ca. 200 Gäste entstehen, welches als Erweiterung der bestehenden touristischen Infrastruktur gesehen werden kann, um diese attraktiver zu gestalten. Das vorgesehene Grundstück besitzt eine sehr hügelige Beschaffenheit und wird durch das Ufer des Ubersdorfer Stausees sowie durch eine großzügige Waldfläche begrenzt. Das Wellnesscenter passt sich in seiner Form den Gegebenheiten an und schafft somit eine starke Verbindung zwischen Landschaft und Gebäude.
description: The present master thesis addresses the topics of building underground, bathing and tourism in the rural area. After a brief introduction to building underground as well as to the history and development of the region, a detailed analysis of constructing a wellness centre is provided. The construction site is at a reservoir in Urbersdorf, a very rural and touristic little frequented region in southern Burgenland. This is where a wellness centre with pleasant surroundings for up to 200 guests is supposed to be built. The wellness centre is intended to be an extension to the existing touristic infrastructure in order to make it more attractive. The considered site is on a hilly landscape, which is bounded by a reservoir in Urbersdorf as well as an extensive forest area. The wellness centre adapts perfectly to its surrounding environment, which creates a strong connection between the building and the landscape.

description: A recent Parliamentary Inquiry in NSW concerning the non-commencement of s21AA of the Fisheries Management Amendment Act 2009 (NSW) which would give First Nations fishers a state based statutory right to ‘cultural fishing’ has highlighted two key concerns about the way the Department of Primary Industries applies the law and management of the fisheries at the intersection of fundamental human rights. This leads to resource conflict, and significant impacts upon Aboriginal people, particularly with respect to their pre-existing rights in high commercial value fisheries such as abalone and lobster, which are also species of high cultural value to Aboriginal people. The NSW government’s failure to uphold and protect native title fishing in accordance with law and custom under section 211 of the Native Title Act 1993 (Cwlth) matched by its failure to recognise and respect the First Nations fishers’ marine governance system, or traditional lore, which has a focus on sustainability of the resource, impacts the rights of Aboriginal people, particularly the South Coast Peoples of NSW whose native title claim was registered in 2018. The NSW Parliamentary Inquiry has also raised serious issues about principles of parliamentary sovereignty, and accountability of the elected government to the NSW Parliament. When the NSW Parliament has passed laws to address a public interest outcome, what rights do agencies or Ministers have to ignore the will of the Parliament by failing to have them proclaimed?

description: The dual Meissner effect is observed without monopoles in quenched SU(2) QCD with Landau gauge-fixing. Abelian as well as non-Abelian electric fields are squeezed. Magnetic displacement currents which are time-dependent Abelian magnetic fields play a role of solenoidal currents squeezing Abelian electric fields. Monopoles are not always necessary to the dual Meissner effect. The squeezing of the electric flux means the dual London equation and the massiveness of the Abelian electric fields as an asymptotic field. The mass generation of the Abelian electric fields is related to a gluon condensate $\neq 0$ of mass dimension 2.

description: Many theories published in the last decade propose that either ordered or disordered local moments are present in elemental plutonium at low temperatures. We present new experimental data and review previous experimental results. None of the experiments provide any evidence for ordered or disordered magnetic moments (either static or dynamic) in plutonium at low temperatures, in either the alpha- or delta-phases. The experiments presented and discussed are magnetic susceptibility,electrical resistivity, NMR, specific heat, and both elastic and inelastic neutronscattering. Many recent calculations correctly predict experimentally observed atomic volumes, including that of delta-Pu. These calculations achieve observed densities by the localization of electrons, which then give rise to magnetic moments. However, localized magnetic moments have never been observed experimentally in Pu. A theory is needed that is in agreement with all the experimental observations. Two theories are discussed that might provide understanding of the ensemble of unusual properties of Pu, including the absence of experimental evidence for localized magnetic moments; an issue that has persisted for over 50 years.

Aplicou-se questionário com variáveis socioeconômicas, ambientais e de capital social, que possibilitaram os cálculos dos respectivos índices: Índice de Desenvolvimento Socioeconômico (Idese) de 0,6779 e 0,2868; Índice Ambiental (IA) de 0,6470 e 0,2742; e Índice de Capital Social (IKS) de 0,8939 e 0,2778, que permitiram a composição pela média aritmética simples do Índice de Sustentabilidade (IS), que atingiu o valor de 0,7396 e 0,2796, respectivamente, para ASSG e AJD, caracterizando nível médio de sustentabilidade no primeiro e nível baixo de sustentabilidade no segundo. Os valores dos índices em separado indicaram que ocorreu nível médio de desenvolvimento socioeconômico, alto de capital social e médio no aspecto ambiental para o ASSG e níveis baixos de desenvolvimento socioeconômico, de capital social e no aspecto ambiental para o AJD.....The basic proposal of this study was to analyze and verify the sustainability in the settlements of São Sebastião da Garganta (ASSG) and João de Deus (AJD) in the Silvânia city, Goiás state. Questionnaire with socioeconomic, environmental and social capital variables was applied, which helped to calculate: Socioeconomic Development Index (Idese) of 0.6779 and 0.2868; Environmental Index (IA) of 0.6470 and 0.2742; Social Capital Index (IKS) of 0.8939 and 0.2778, which allowed the composition by the simple arithmetic average of the Sustainability Index (IS), that reached the value of 0.7396 and 0.2796, for ASSG and AJD, respectively, showing the average level of sustainability in the first and a low level of sustainability in the second. The values of each index separately indicated an average level of socioeconomic development, high level of social capital and an average level of the environmental aspect in the ASSG, and low levels of socioeconomic development, social capital and environmental aspect in the AJD.

description: Aboriginal people were among those most affected by the 2019–2020 bushfires in south-eastern Australia. Yet aside from renewed public interest in cultural burning practices, Aboriginal people have received little attention in the post-bushfire response. In this paper, we describe population geography of Aboriginal peoples affected by the 2019–2020 bushfire season in New South Wales and Victoria, and the geography of Aboriginal legal rights and interests in land across these states. We find that over 84 000 Indigenous people, or one-quarter of the Indigenous population of NSW and Victoria, live in the bushfire-affected area. While Indigenous people comprise nearly 5.4% of the 1.55 million people living in fire-affected areas, they are only 2.3% of the total population of NSW and Victoria. Because Indigenous people in the bushfire-affected area have younger population profiles, more than one-tenth of children in the bushfire-affected area are Indigenous, raising the diverse effects of bushfires on infants and children in particular. Aboriginal people also have a variety of distinct and spatially extensive legal rights and interests in land as First Peoples, including across much of the fire-affected area. Presenting a series of quotations from published accounts, we demonstrate that the Aboriginal experience of the 2019–2020 bushfires have been different from those of non-Indigenous Australians. We go on to show that despite the presence of Aboriginal people and Aboriginal legal rights across the fire-affected area and the distinctiveness of the Aboriginal experience of bushfire disaster, Aboriginal peoples have been marginalised in recent previous public responses to bushfires. Taking the reports of two post-disaster inquires as exemplary, we show that Aboriginal peoples have largely been ignored in these important fact-finding and policymaking forums. We conclude by arguing that the response to the 2019–2020 bushfires must be different. We call for governments to acknowledge the erasure of Aboriginal people in previous bushfire disaster responses; to establish

description: A study of two-Higgs-doublet models (2HDM) in the decoupling limit reveals the existence of parameter configurations with a large triple-Higgs self-coupling as the only low-energy trace of the departure from a Standard Model (SM) Higgs sector. This observation encourages attempts to search for double Higgs production at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) even in mass regions which have been shown to be very hard to probe in the context of SM-like Higgs self-couplings. In this document we consider the case of an Intermediate Mass Higgs (IMH) boson, with 120 GeV <= M_H <= 140 GeV, produced in pairs via vector-vector fusion, Higgs-strahlung and associate production with heavy-quarks and decaying into b anti-b pairs. After a detailed signal-to-background analysis, we confirm that the observation of a Higgs-pair signal is very challenging in the framework of the SM, even at the LHC with upgraded luminosity. In contrast, we verify that the sensitivity is sufficient to detect departures from the SM which would escape detection in the measurements of the single-Higgs production channels.

description: A partir da emergência da ideia de sustentabilidade, a agricultura adquiriu novas conotações, associadas não apenas ao aspecto produtivo, mas também à conservação dos recursos naturais e dos territórios rurais, em um reconhecimento de sua multifuncionalidade. Com base nesta noção, que valoriza as funções socioambientais desempenhadas pelas famílias rurais e pelas agriculturas praticadas, o presente artigo analisa um assentamento rural no estado de São Paulo, buscando identificar quais são e de que forma se expressam as funções para além da produção neste território particular. Por meio de uma metodologia de cunho quali-quantitativo, observou-se que, no assentamento em foco, a agricultura encerra em si questões de coesão territorial, manutenção da segurança alimentar, conservação da agrobiodiversidade e de fomento a outras atividades produtivas, sendo o elemento central da reconstrução de um modo de vida rural neste ambiente.....From the idea of sustainability, agriculture has acquired new connotations beyond the productive aspect, and associated with conservation of natural resources and rural territories, in recognition of their multiple functions. Based on this concept, which values the socioenvironmental functions performed by rural families, the present paper made an analysis on a rural settlement in the São Paulo state, aiming to identify functions beyond the production and their expression in this particular territory. With a methodology based on qualitative and quantitative information, it was observed that,in the settlement in focus, agriculture carries with it questions of territorial cohesion, maintenance of food security, agrobiodiversity conservation and the encouragement of other producing activities, being the central element of the rebuild of a rural way of life in this environment.

description: We study the synchronization transition in scale-free networks that display power-law asymptotic behaviors in their degree distributions. The critical coupling strength and the order-parameter critical exponent derived by the mean field approach depend on the degree exponent $λ$, which implies a close connection between structural organization and the emergence of dynamical order in complex systems. We also derive the finite-size scaling behavior of the order parameter finding that the giant cluster of synchronized nodes is formed in different ways between scale-free networks with $23$.

As projeções dos produtos estão bem ajustadas às observações. De acordo com os resultados, o Brasil mostrou tendência de crescimento em todas as séries analisadas. A partir dessa análise, conclui-se que o mercado brasileiro de carnes indica boas perspectivas de crescimento e fortalecimento em termos mundiais, em especial para a carne de frango.....This work aimed to present Brazilian forecasts of production, consumption, exports and export average price of meat (beef, pork and poultry). Forecasts were generated using the Markovian representation (state space) model and an autoregressive integrated moving average (Arima). Annual growth rates were also calculated. Series observed involve the period from 1972 to 2009 and the analysis of the forecasts involves the period from 2010 to 2020. The forecasts of the products are well adjusted to the observations. According to the results, Brazil showed a growth trend in all the analyzed variables. It is concluded that the Brazilian meat market indicates good perspectives of strengthening in world terms, especially for poultry.

description: In 2020, young people from remote communities in Australia’s Northern Territory are required to attend boarding school in order to access a full secondary education. Commissioned by elders in one Northern Territory remote community, this report investigates the intended and unintended consequences of this policy approach at individual and community level. Working with families, researchers tracked the education histories of 100 12–21-year-old young people identified as community members. Findings reveal that for this community, the supply of boarding places is not equal to demand, and that families experience difficulties securing secondary pathways for their children. Members of the research cohort had been dispersed among 38 different schools across 16 cities or towns in every state or territory of mainland Australia. A concerning pattern of early disengagement from education and low levels of academic attainment is apparent, with consequences for youth wellbeing and community cohesion. Findings of the study indicate the need for further systems-level research to test the generalisability of findings across other remote communities. They demonstrate that educational determinants in remote contexts (such as the community in this study) including housing, health, justice and employment need to be explicitly understood and quantified in policy discussions concerning educational effectiveness and secondary provision cost. The study has shown a large disconnect between local educational aspiration and system-level provision. Policy decisions should seek to identify models which are shown to increase the likelihood of education engagement and attainment in place. The community involved in this study are adamant that ‘place-based approaches’ to educational development must be paramount. This is likely to be generalised to other remote settings.

During 40 hours of simultaneous observation we identify 13 flares which occurred in both wave bands. For the first time, a correlation between X-ray and ultraviolet flux for stellar flares has been observed. We find power-law relationships between these two wavelength bands for the flare luminosity increase, as well as for flare energies, with power-law exponents between 1 and 2. We also observe a correlation between the ultraviolet flare energy and the X-ray luminosity increase, which is in agreement with the Neupert effect and demonstrates that chromospheric evaporation is taking place.

description: The proportion of remote-living Indigenous people who lived in a household that ran out of food, and could not afford to purchase more, increased from 32.8% to 38.6% between 2012–2013 and 2018–2019. This paper outlines policy options to respond to the increasing prevalence of remote Indigenous food insecurity. We argue that while it may be possible to reduce the price of food in remote stores to some degree, the cost of commercial food provision in remote Indigenous communities is likely to remain high in comparison to larger Australian towns and cities. Accordingly, policy responses should look to other means for increasing food security beyond reducing prices. We suggest that increasing social security payments and removing barriers currently impeding Indigenous communities from pursuing food sovereignty are the most promising avenues for increasing Indigenous food security. Relaxing the mutual obligations requirements facing social security recipients and supporting social enterprises would assist Indigenous communities to engage in customary food provisioning. A version of this Topical Issue was provided to the House of Representatives Standing Committee on Indigenous Affairs Inquiry into food pricing and food security in remote Indigenous communities in June 2020.

description: This report was Commissioned by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) in 2018 for their project ‘Linking Indigenous communities with regional development’. Intended for international comparison with other OECD nations, it is written more-or-less to a thematic template provided to us for this purpose. The OECD selected the parts they wanted for their project, but we were always at liberty to publish our full report in the name of transparency. This report discusses key issues in demography, governance and policy as they relate to Indigenous Peoples in Australia. It focuses on the ‘governance of government’, including the difficult institutional environment that many Indigenous communities and organisations face. It provides a brief history of policy approaches that the settler colonial state has adopted in relation to Indigenous Peoples in Australia, from the violent dispossession of the early stages of colonisation through protection and assimilation to the current concern with ‘Closing the Gap’. It acknowledges the active campaigns of Indigenous Peoples in Australia over many decades to progress agendas of structural change including calls for treaties, land rights and self-determination. We conclude the report with a discussion of several issues that should be central to policies and programs seeking to promote economic development of, for and by Indigenous Peoples.

description: Cardiac 18F-FDG PET has been used in clinics to assess myocardial glucose metabolism. Its ability for imaging myocardial glucose transport, however, has rarely been exploited in clinics. Using the dynamic FDG-PET scans of ten patients with coronary artery disease, we investigate in this paper appropriate dynamic scan and kinetic modeling protocols for efficient quantification of myocardial glucose transport. Three kinetic models and the effect of scan duration were evaluated by using statistical fit quality, assessing the impact on kinetic quantification, and analyzing the practical identifiability. The results show that the kinetic model selection depends on the scan duration. The reversible two-tissue model was needed for a one-hour dynamic scan. The irreversible two-tissue model was optimal for a scan duration of around 10-15 minutes. If the scan duration was shortened to 2-3 minutes, a one-tissue model was the most appropriate. For global quantification of myocardial glucose transport, we demonstrated that an early dynamic scan with a duration of 10-15 minutes and irreversible kinetic modeling was comparable to the full one-hour scan with reversible kinetic modeling. Myocardial glucose transport quantification provides an additional physiological parameter on top of the existing assessment of glucose metabolism and has the potential to enable single tracer multiparametric imaging in the myocardium.

description: Das Thema dieser Diplomarbeit ist der Entwurf einer Zughaltestelle in der Grenzgemeinde Innichen, Südtirol. Innichen wird durch die Staatsstrasse und die Bahn in zwei, bisher nicht barrierefrei erreichbare Seiten getrennt. Durch das Auflassen des Frachtenbahnhofes und das Öffnen der Grenze zwischen Österreich und Italien sind große Flächen des heutigen Bahnhofareals unbenutzt. Die Verlegung der Haltestelle wurde im Verkehrskonzept der Gemeinde festgelegt und 2013 durch einen geladenen Wettbewerb ausgeschrieben, bisher jedoch nicht umgesetzt. Ziel der Arbeit war es eine Verbindung zwischen den bisher getrennten Dorfteilen zu schaffen, die Haltestelle selbst so minimal als möglich zu halten und auf die saisonalen Schwankungen und somit unterschiedlichen Nutzerzahlen zu reagieren.
description: The topic of this thesis is the design of a train station in Innichen, South Tyrol. The main road and the railway separate Innichen into two parts. Until today there is no barrier-free access from one side to the other. A large area of today's station is unused due to the closure of the freight railway station and the opening of the borders. The relocation of the station has been set in the traffic plan of the municipality. In 2013 a competition was announced but until today it has still not been implemented. The aim of the study was to create a link between the separated village parts, to keep the station itself as minimalistic as possible and to respond to the seasonal variations and thus different numbers of users.

description: Safety mapping is a method developed by the researcher with Town Campers in Alice Springs. This method asks participants in focus groups to use maps to identify the safe places in their communities. This method was designed in response to a method which attempted to map crime ‘hot spots’ in Alice Springs by measuring how many times emergency buttons were hit in certain locations. Safety mapping flips this concept to a strengths-based approach by asking participants to identify the safe places in their communities and gather their views about what they consider ‘safe’. The purpose of the safety mapping was to ascertain whether domestic and family violence was identified as a safety concern by Town Campers; as well as to identify the ‘ingredients’ of safety in the hopes they can be replicated to increase Town Campers feelings of safety. The safety mapping also aimed to identify safe people and safe relationships that could be drawn upon if Town Campers ever felt unsafe. This paper collates the views of the participants to present the main safety issues according to Town Campers, and what needs to be done to improve safety in Town Camps and within Alice Springs.

description: Type Ia Supernovae (SNeIa) used as standardizable candles have been instrumental in the discovery of cosmic acceleration, usually attributed to some form of dark energy (DE). Recent studies have raised the issue of whether intrinsic SNeIa luminosities might evolve with redshift. While the evidence for cosmic acceleration is robust to this possible systematic, the question remains of how much the latter can affect the inferred properties of the DE component responsible for cosmic acceleration. This is the question we address in this work. We use SNeIa distance moduli measurements from the Pantheon and JLA samples. We consider models where the DE equation of state is a free parameter, either constant or time-varying, as well as models where DE and dark matter interact, and finally a model-agnostic parametrization of effects due to modified gravity (MG). When SNeIa data are combined with Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) temperature and polarization anisotropy measurements, we find strong degeneracies between parameters governing the SNeIa systematics, the DE parameters, and the Hubble constant $H_0$. These degeneracies significantly broaden the DE parameter uncertainties, in some cases leading to ${\cal O}(σ)$ shifts in the central values. However, including low-redshift Baryon Acoustic Oscillation and Cosmic Chronometer measurements, as well as CMB lensing measurements, considerably improves the previous constraints, and the only remaining effect of the examined systematic is a $\lesssim 40\%$ broadening of the uncertainties on the DE parameters. The constraints we derive on the MG parameters are instead basically unaffected by the systematic in question. We therefore confirm the overall soundness of dark energy properties.

The Effect of Type Ibc Contamination in Cosmological Supernova Samples

description: We explore the effect of contamination of intermediate redshift Type Ia supernova samples by Type Ibc supernovae. Simulating observed samples of Ia and mixed Ibc/Ia populations at a range of redshifts for an underlying cosmological concordance model (Ω_{m}=0.27, Ω_Λ=0.73), we find that even small contamination levels, 2-5% may bias the derived Ω_Λ and Ω_{m} towards larger values. We thus emphasize the need for clean samples of Type Ia SNe for accurate measurements of the cosmological parameters. We also simulate a SN sample similar to the fiducial SNAP detected distribution (Kim et al. 2004), but include Ibc contamination. For this distribution we illustrate the effect of Ibc contamination on the distance modulus vs. redshift diagram for low and high precision measurements.

description: In this paper we study the light bending caused by a slowly rotating source in the context of quadratic theories of gravity, in which the Einstein--Hilbert action is extended by additional terms quadratic in the curvature tensors. The deflection angle is computed employing the method based on the Gauss--Bonnet theorem and working in the approximation of a weak lens; also, we assume that the source and observer are at an infinite distance. The formalism presented is very general and applies to any spacetime metric in the limit of weak gravitational field and slow rotation. We find the explicit formula for the deflection angle for several local and nonlocal theories, and also discuss some phenomenological implications.

description: Meeting the healthcare needs of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people requires needs-based and strengths-based planning of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait health workforce. Substantial gains have been made over recent decades in growing the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health workforce. However, the overall size of this workforce remains low, retention is poor and workforce growth in some areas is not commensurate with population growth. Through the National Agreement on Closing the Gap, Australian governments have recognised that achieving better Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health outcomes requires equity in health system investment, system-wide workplace reforms and strength-based approaches that emphasise partnerships with Indigenous organisations and communities. However, at present there is no national commitment to achieving an equitable number of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people within a culturally-safe and responsive health workforce. We were commissioned by the National Health Leadership Forum to investigate approaches to workforce planning based on the healthcare needs of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Needs-based workforce planning requires establishing and modelling targets that take into consideration the burden of disease; geographic location of health needs; access to culturally safe care; and addressing deficiencies in the workforce data currently available. Appropriate workforce planning also requires addressing very low retention rates of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health professionals through structural, system-wide reforms to foster culturally safe workplaces that are free of racism. Realising the need for and contributions of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health workforce to improving health outcomes necessitates working in partnership with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health peak organisations.
