description: If the fertility rate stabilises at around 1.6 children per woman and net overseas migration averages at least 75,000, the public policy dimensions of Australia’s population future should be manageable. Our means tested age pension and the superannuation guarantee mean that we face very low rates of pension expenditure growth. Pressure on the public purse is more likely to come from health, but this may not be the direct result of ageing. Nor should anticipated changes to the size and age of the labour force present insurmountable problems. There would be significant economic and social implications, however, if fertility were to fall to European or Japanese levels, or if net migration, especially skilled, were allowed to decline. To help ensure a sustainable population future we need to: know more about the causes of fertility decline; continue to attract young, highly trained migrants with good English skills; and encourage older Australians to remain longer in the labour force.

description: In this study, we isolated and compared the weathering effectiveness and population of mineral-weathering bacteria from the rhizosphere and bulk soils of Morus alba grown in a mineral-rich soil. Eighty-four isolates could release Si, Al, K, and Fe from potash feldspar. Weathering effectiveness and pattern of the isolates differed between the rhizosphere and bulk soils. The proportion of the highly effective Si, Al, K, and Fe solubilizers was significantly higher in the rhizosphere soils than in the bulk soils. Notably, the proportion of the highly effective acid-producing isolates was also significantly higher in the rhizosphere soils. The 84 mineral-weathering isolates were affiliated with 15 bacterial genera. Distinct mineral-weathering genera were observed between the rhizosphere and bulk soils. The results suggested that the highly effective mineral-weathering bacteria were selected in the rhizosphere soils and the mineral-weathering bacteria from the rhizosphere and bulk soils might weather potash feldspar through different mechanisms.

Kind or cruel?: Labor's asylum and boat people policies
Creators: name: Millbank, Adrienne
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Between 1992 and 2002 different Australian governments developed a set of increasingly tough policies to deter asylum-seekers, including boat people, from targeting Australia as a preferred country of destination. The Rudd Government has dismantled many of these policies and the number of boat arrivals has risen. But at the same time as it has increased the welcome afforded to those asylum-seekers who manage to reach Australian waters or territory, the government has increased its efforts to prevent them from doing so. These efforts include spending more money on Australia's border protection agencies overseas, encouraging neighbouring countries to pass laws against people smuggling, and funding a 'border movement alert' in Indonesia. Thus at the same time as the welcome offered to boat people has increased so have the barriers to their actually taking advantage of it. The result has been both an increase in the numbers making the attempt and an increase in deaths at sea and other misfortunes. Copyright. Monash University and the author/s

description: The impact of population growth on the state of the environment has become a subject of vigorous public debate and has led to a number of official reports. This paper is the first systematic analysis of the implications of population growth in Australia on one of the most important environmental problems, the emission of greenhouse gases that are associated with climate change. This is especially important since Australia has signed up to international emission reduction obligations under the 1997 Kyoto Protocol. Copyright. Monash University and the author/s

description: MicroRNAs are major post-transcriptional regulators of gene expression and have essential roles in diverse developmental processes. In vertebrates, some regulatory genes play different roles at different developmental stages. These genes are initially transcribed in a wide embryonic region but restricted within distinct cell types at subsequent stages during development. Therefore, post-transcriptional regulation is therefore required for the transition from one developmental stage to the next and establishment of different cell identities. However, the regulation of many multiple functional genes at post-transcription level during development remains unknown. Here we show that miR-20a can target the mRNA of vsx1, a multiple functional gene, at the 3′-UTR and inhibit protein expression in both goldfish and zebrafish. The expression of miR-20a is initiated ubiquitously at late gastrula stage and exhibits a tissue-specific pattern in the developing retina. Inhibition of vsx1 3′-UTR mediated protein expression occurs when and where miR-20a is expressed. Decoying miR-20a resulted in severely impaired head, eye and trunk formation in association with excessive generation of vsx1 marked neurons in the spinal cord and defects of somites in the mesoderm region. These results demonstrate that miR-20a is essential for normal embryogenesis by restricting Vsx1 expression in goldfish and zebrafish, and explain how transcription factor Vsx1 regulates different development processes.
The growth lobby and Australia's immigration policy

description: Immigration boosts Australia’s population growth. A growth lobby concentrated among interests based in housing, land development and construction profits from this and actively lobbies for it. During the early years of the Howard Government (1996 to 1999) the lobby faced the novel situation of a presumably pro-business government that reduced immigration. Eventually this induced the lobby to mobilise and to go public, rendering its activity more visible than before. From July 2000 the Government embarked on a series of steep increases in the intake.

description: Self-identified race/ethnicity is largely used to identify, monitor, and examine racial/ethnic inequalities. A growing body of work underscores the need to consider multiple dimensions of race – the social construction of race as a function of appearance, societal interactions, institutional dynamics, stereotypes, and social norms. One such multidimensional measure is socially-assigned race, the perception of one’s race by others, that may serve as the basis for differential or unfair treatment and subsequently lead to deleterious health outcomes. We conducted a scoping review to systematically appraise the socially-assigned race and health literature. A systematic search of the PubMed, Web of Science, 28 EBSCO databases and 24 Proquest databases up to September 2019 was conducted and supplemented by a manual search of reference lists and grey literature. Quantitative and qualitative studies that examined socially-assigned race and health or health-related outcomes were considered for inclusion. Eighteen articles were included in the narrative synthesis. Self-rated health and mental health were among the most frequent outcomes studied. The majority of studies were conducted in the United States, with fewer studies conducted in New Zealand, Canada, and Latin America. While most studies demonstrate a positive association between social assignment as a disadvantaged racial or ethnic group and poorer health, some studies did not document an association. We describe key conceptual and methodological considerations that should be prioritized in future studies examining socially-assigned race and health. Socially-assigned race can provide additional insight into observed differential health outcomes among racial/ethnic groups in racialized societies based upon their lived experiences. Studies incorporating socially-assigned race warrants further investigation and may be leveraged to examine nuanced patterns of racial health advantage and disadvantage.
The 40 per cent target qualified target: how feasible?

description: The Australian Government has made a commitment to increase the level of higher education training in Australia. Its target by 2025 is that 40 per cent of all 25- to 34-year-old Australians will possess degree qualifications or above (from 29 per cent in 2006). This article examines whether this target is feasible. Various assumptions about domestic enrolment and immigration are modelled which take account of ageing-into and ageing-out of the 25- to 34-year-old cohort. The conclusion is that the 40 per cent target is very unlikely to be achieved because it would require an increase of at least 50 per cent in domestic undergraduate completions by 2020 and a sharp rise in immigration.

description: Since the mid 1990s economic immigration policy in the United Kingdom has been transformed from being one of the most restrictive in Europe to being among the most open-ended. This shift has coincided with increasing public dissatisfaction with immigration policy. In April 2008 the House of Lords Select Committee on Economic Affairs published a report on immigration’s economic effects. It found—contrary to the assertions of the Labour Government—that recent immigration flows have not produced significant economic benefits. Despite the unequivocal and rather damning conclusions of the report, it is unlikely to produce any major shift in government policy. Copyright. Monash University and the author/s
Migration category and labour-force status: policy implications of the performance of refugees

description: In 1996 the Australian Bureau of Statistics surveyed 3,078 immigrants who had arrived in Australia after 1970 (and had been aged 18 or more on arrival). Except for some unsponsored (Independent) migrants, and some non-family-reunion sponsored immigrants, all of the respondents aged 25 to 60 had lower labour-force participation rates than the Australian-born. And, except for some New Zealanders and the small group of employer-sponsored immigrants, all respondents aged 25 to 60 had higher unemployment rates. The situation of people who had arrived as refugees or family-sponsored immigrants was particularly difficult; 38 per cent of refugees and 32 per cent of the family-sponsored were dependent on Government pensions. Unemployment declined with length of residence and was lower for people who had arrived with post-school qualifications. Higher degrees, however, do not seem to have helped. This very well-credentialed group experienced higher unemployment than immigrants with no post-school level qualifications. Copyright. Monash University and the author/s

Scoping Review

description: PURPOSE OF REVIEW We identified 24 publications from January 2010 until September 2018 in the peer-reviewed literature addressing the relationship of long-term air pollution exposures and type 2 diabetes-related morbidity and mortality among adults. We examine key methodological issues, synthesize findings, and address study strengths and limitations. We also discuss biological mechanisms, policy implications, and future research needed to address existing knowledge gaps. RECENT FINDINGS In general, the studies included in this review employed rigorous methodology with large sample sizes, appropriate study designs to maximize available cohort study or administrative data sources, and exposure modeling that accounted for spatial patterns in air pollution levels. Overall, studies suggested increased risks of type 2 diabetes-related morbidity and mortality among adults associated with increased exposures; however, findings were not uniformly positive nor statistically significant. SUMMARY Current research is particularly limited regarding the biological mechanisms involved and the relationship between ozone and diabetes. Additionally, more research is needed to distinguish clearly the effects of nitrogen oxides from those of other pollutants and to identify potential subpopulations with greater susceptibility for certain pollutant exposures. A better understanding of the potential link between long-term ambient air pollution exposures and type 2 diabetes may provide opportunities for the reduction of health risks and inform future interventions for environmental protection and diabetes management.

description: Current equity plans for Australian higher education are based on research which claims that non-English-speaking-background (NESB) people are under-represented in the universities. The problem is held to be particularly acute for recent arrivals and equity plans are currently in place to rectify this situation. The background research, however, is inaccurate. Young NESB people have higher participation rates than English-speaking-background people. In some cases, such as the Chinese, Korean and Vietnamese speakers, the level of participation is striking.

description: Shiga toxins (Stxs) are a family of cytotoxic proteins that lead to the development of bloody diarrhea, hemolytic-uremic syndrome, and central nervous system complications caused by bacteria such as S. dysenteriae, E. coli O157:H7 and E. coli O104:H4. Increasing evidence indicates that macroautophagy (autophagy) is a key factor in the cell death induced by Stxs. However, the associated mechanisms are not yet clear. This study showed that Stx2 induces autophagic cell death in Caco-2 cells, a cultured line model of human enterocytes. Inhibition of autophagy using pharmacological inhibitors, such as 3-methyladenine and bafilomycin A1, or silencing of the autophagy genes ATG12 or BECN1 decreased the Stx2-induced death in Caco-2 cells. Furthermore, there were numerous instances of dilated endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in the Stx2-treated Caco-2 cells, and repression of ER stress due to the depletion of viable candidates of DDIT3 and NUPR1. These processes led to Stx2-induced autophagy and cell death. Finally, the data showed that the pseudokinase TRIB3-mediated DDIT3 expression and AKT1 dephosphorylation upon ER stress were triggered by Stx2. Thus, the data indicate that Stx2 causes autophagic cell death via the ER stress pathway in intestinal epithelial cells.

description: This article proposes a class of weighted differences of averages (WDA) statistics to test and estimate possible change-points in variance for time series with weakly dependent blocks and dependent panel data without specific distributional assumptions. We derive the asymptotic distributions of the test statistics for testing the existence of a single variance change-point under the null and local alternatives. We also study the consistency of the change-point estimator. Within the proposed class of the WDA test statistics, a standardized WDA test is shown to have the best consistency rate and is recommended for practical use. An iterative binary searching procedure is suggested for estimating the locations of possible multiple change-points in variance, whose consistency is also established. Simulation studies are conducted to compare detection power and number of wrong rejections of the proposed procedure to that of a cumulative sum (CUSUM) based test and a likelihood ratio-based test. Finally, we apply the proposed method to a stock index dataset and an unemployment rate dataset. Supplementary materials for this article are available online.

Sotto il segno di Joaquim Silvério dos Reis (o di Giuda)? Note sulla storia della delazione premiata in Brasile
Creators: name: Sontag, Ricardo
Publisher: name: Italian Review of Legal History
Year: 2017

description: : Joaquim Silvério dos Reis, il primo e principale delatore della Congiura di Minas Gerais (1788-1789), fu il primo beneficiario della delazione premiata in Brasile? L’ultima regolamentazione dell’istituto in Brasile è del 2013. Il giudiziario brasiliano, negli ultimi anni, ha utilizzato molto spesso l’istituto nei processi riguardanti la corruzione. Molti giuristi, per dimostrare l’iniquità della delazione premiata, ricordano che Tiradentes, uno dei principali personaggi della Congiura di Minas Gerais e fino ad oggi onorato come eroe nazionale, sarebbe stato la prima vittima di una delazione di questo tipo, prevista nelle Ordenações Filipinas di Portogallo. Tuttavia, lo stesso argomento di una presunta continuità tra le nuovissime leggi e le vecchie Ordenações è stato utilizzato anche per affermare che, se l’istituto è così antico, non è così strano (e quindi non vi sarebbe ragione per attaccare la sua legittimità). In tutti questi discorsi che costituiscono una sorta di memoria del diritto penale brasiliano, non vi è stata l’attenzione verso l’alterità del passato, tampoco l’approfondimento nelle fonti dell’epoca. Tale approfondimento, sotto la guida del concetto di discontinuità, ci permette rilevare, ad esempio, che né il perdono né i premi previsti dalle Ordenações presupponevano la formalizzazione giuridica di un accordo, come invece succede oggi nei casi di delazione premiata. I processi attraverso i quali Joaquim Silvério chiese i suoi premi (mercês) non era lo stesso processo contro i congiurati. Non vi era un documento che stabilisse – anche se in maniera approsimativa o aperta – gli obblighi reciproci tra le parti. E, secondo la logica delle mercês, non potevano esservi. Forse sia possibile trovare diverse forme di negoziazioni dietro le quinte di qualsiasi di qualsiasi forma di processo giudiziale. Tuttavia, non sempre esiste la cristallizzazione di tali negoziazioni attraverso istituti giuridici. Tra gli anni 1990 e 2000, in Brasile, i premi per i delatori gradualmente sono diventate oggetti di istituti negoziali, allontandosi in questo modo di quel che si potrebbe chiamare logico del diritto soggettivo. Una giustizia negoziata però che si assomiglia pochissimo alle negoziazioni della giustizia criminale pre-moderna nelle quali l’”interesse pubblico” di punire non veniva attuato pienamente a nome della pace tra le parti. Le nuove negoziazioni di delazione premiata vengono realizzate proprio a nome dell’interesse pubblico di punire ancora di più. Quindi le nuove delazioni trovano appoggio nell’immaginario punitivista contemporaneo che va molto al di là della semplice convinzione secondo la quale i dani al patrimonio pubblico attraverso organizzazioni criminali devono essere regolarmente puniti.

description: L’esame dell’attività parlamentare della rappresentanza di Nizza e Savoia al Camera subalpina – eletta per la prima volta il 27 aprile 1848 e rinnovata per sette legislature fino all’annessione alla Francia, avvenuta nel 1860 in adempimento delle clausole degli accordi di Plombières – oltre ad essere un caso di studio peculiare per analizzare i rapporti centro-periferia, riveste un certo interesse poiché evidenzia quali fossero le idee e le posizioni politiche di questi deputati, sollecitati in prima persona dall’applicazione del principio “rivoluzionario” di nazionalità e dall’azione cavouriana tutta rivolta allo “scenario europeo”.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: La prospettiva europea è stata una delle caratteristiche della personalità di Federigo Sclopis, attivo sul piano scientifico a Torino, ma con lo sguardo rivolto pure oltre le Alpi per conoscenze, viaggi, rapporti epistolari. Tali legami si sono uniti alla concezione di una specifica particolarità di ogni terra europea, entro un patrimonio culturale comune, con un’impostazione ancor oggi più che attuale.

description: A simple and accurate analytical method was developed for simultaneous and quantitative analysis of six triterpenoid saponins in Schefflera kwangsiensis via high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with mass spectrometry (MS) in this study. Separation was performed on a Thermo hypersil GOLD C18 column (150 mm × 2.1 mm, 5 μm). A mobile phase consisting of methanol/acetonitrile/8 mM ammonium acetate in water was used with a flow rate of 0.3 mL/min. The analytes were detected by MS with the electrospray ionisation (ESI) source combined with negative monitoring and full scan mode, and were analysed by extracted ion chromatography. This established HPLC-ESI-MS analysis demonstrated good linearity, sensitivity, stability, precision, accuracy and recovery. Therefore, this analytical method has great potential to be a novel tool to qualify S. kwangsiensis.

description: The established Indian Australian community mainly consists of people with professional occupations who came to Australia after 1970, and their Australian-born children. They come from the educated urban middle class in India, speak English fluently, and are doing well in Australia. In contrast, the wave of Indian students who arrived mainly after 2001 are more likely to come from rural backgrounds. Even though they may have bachelor degrees from India, they often have poor English. Many have enrolled in vocational courses in cookery and hairdressing in the hope, often realised of gaining permanent residence. As is now well known a number of them have been subjected to robbery and violence, often racist, and some have died. This article explores this recent history and also draws on interview data. It uses this to outline some of the differences between the established community and the growing number of students, and to describe the efforts made by the two groups to bridge these differences.

Majority opinion or divided selves?: researching work and family experiences

description: Some commentators, such as Evans and Kelley in the September 2001 issue of People and Place, argue that we should support mothers who want to stay home with their young children rather than those who want to go out to work. We should do this, they say, because the stay-at-home option is more popular than the work-and-childcare option. Evans and Kelley claim to have discerned what women really want from a single poorly worded attitude question in a mass survey. In contrast, qualitative research shows that parents’ belief about what mothers should do are complex and contradictory. These beliefs do not offer clear guidelines to policy makers but, even if they did, there are other considerations to bear in mind such as the effect of policies on the total fertility rate and on public expenditure.

An Integrated Bayesian Nonparametric Approach for Stochastic and Variability Orders in ROC Curve Estimation: An Application to Endometriosis Diagnosis

description: In estimating ROC curves of multiple tests, some a priori constraints may exist, either between the healthy and diseased populations within a test or between tests within a population. In this article, we proposed an integrated modeling approach for ROC curves that jointly accounts for stochastic and variability orders. The stochastic order constrains the distributional centers of the diseased and healthy populations within a test, while the variability order constrains the distributional spreads of the tests within each of the populations. Under a Bayesian nonparametric framework, we used features of the Dirichlet process mixture to incorporate these order constraints in a natural way. We applied the proposed approach to data from the Physician Reliability Study that investigated the accuracy of diagnosing endometriosis using different clinical information. To address the issue of no gold standard in the real data, we used a sensitivity analysis approach that exploited diagnosis from a panel of experts. To demonstrate the performance of the methodology, we conducted simulation studies with varying sample sizes, distributional assumptions, and order constraints.

La prima Europa. Qualche nota sul mito dell’autoctonia dei popoli del Mediterraneo tra antiquaria, storia e nazionalismo
Creators: name: De Francesco, Antonino
Publisher: name: Italian Review of Legal History
Year: 2017

description: L’articolo torna sul fallimento della costituzione europea a seguito dei referendum del 2005 per sottolineare le capacità di resistenza dei nazionalismi attraverso l’importanza di un tema che suona oggi desueto: il ricorso all’antichità e all’autoctonia dei popoli europei. Il saggio insiste sulle capacità di adattamento dell’antiquaria agli sviluppi scientifici delle discipline storico-antropologiche e archeologiche per sottolineare come ancora oggi essa costituisca un punto di riferimento nel mantenimento dei nazionalismi. Facendo perno sul caso francese, le pagine si allargano agli esempi italiano, balcanico e spagnolo per sottolineare come l’uso e l’abuso del ricorso all’antichità delle rispettive nazioni abbia creato un’identità mediterranea. La riscoperta nel corso del secolo XIX dei popoli dell’antichità – celti, Iberi, fenici, italici, illiri – suona testimonianza dell’importanza del tema per la nascita di molteplici nazionalismi. Mediante lo studio delle opere pubblicate al riguardo a far data dal 1789, il saggio spiega come gli immaginari nazionali abbiano configurato modelli ideologici destinati a plasmare culture politiche e narrative nazionali di largo impatto ancor oggi.

title: Identifying land cover change trajectories in Xilinhot, Inner Mongolia using the LandTrendr segmentation algorithm

description: Current modeling of land use and land cover of rangelands is limited by shortcomings in the ontological and methodological approaches to classification. For example, current classification schemes often limit rangeland cover types into one of a small number of categories; typically, grassland, shrubland, or barren. However, investigators of rangeland research are interested in the complex dynamics happening within a given class. A more nuanced classification of grasslands that represents the dynamics occurring within a class would contribute meaningfully to policy and management practices throughout the region. In this study, we assess a novel method for classifying land cover change, focused on Xilinhot, a city located in Xilingol League, Inner Mongolia, located in one of the largest remaining arid grassland regions of the world. The region has faced rapid development and land use conversion in recent decades, and grassland condition is declining in many areas; but the mechanisms of these changes are difficult to assess with traditional land cover data. In this study we apply the LandTrendr (LT) segmentation algorithm to a time-series of Landsat imagery to capture changes in 30+ years of vegetation cover in Xilinhot. The LT segmentation algorithm is a set of spectraltemporal segmentation algorithms that extracts information for change detection in a time-series of moderate resolution imagery. We then apply an unsupervised k-means clustering scheme to iteratively assign each data point to one of k groups based on feature similarity. We identified ten unique classes in the data; these classes represent unique trajectories in the time-series. These classes reflect the result of changes in the physical features of Xilinhot's grasslands that coincide with changes in management and land use. These data on the influence of past intervention on pixel-level responses can be used to help build predictive models, to better understand the potential impact of future policy and management changes.
