Reflective practice: an integrative review of collaborations between nursing and creative arts students
No full textObjectives: To demonstrate how interdisciplinary collaborative creative practice has contributed to nursing and creative arts students’ wellbeing, professionalism, communication skills, and reflective practice. Design: Integrative literature review. Data sources: Following a discussion with a health librarian CINAHL, Medline, ProQuest, PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Wiley databases, and Google Scholar were searched. Review methods: Titles and abstracts of n = 2443 records were independently screened by two reviewers, with 2341 records excluded. Of the remaining n = 102 reports, n = 98 were available for full text review. Five reports, with an additional n = 2 from reference list screening, were included. Results: Collaborations between nursing and creative arts students may build professional identity, enhance communication and reflective skills, and improve cross-disciplinary understanding. Implementing projects requires time, the provision of a safe space, and freedom to focus on the process. Conclusions: Collaborations between nursing and creative arts students led to positive outcomes yet there are few examples. Despite implementation challenges, more collaborative interdisciplinary projects are required to build understandings of how they can be used as effective WIL opportunities
Ageing in Place is Not Just Staying at Home: Reclaiming the Role of Community in Australia's Aged Care Landscape

Full text linkThere is significant pressure on translingual communities, who draw upon and blend all the linguistic and semiotic resources with which they have come into contact (i.e., language, material objects, the built environment) to navigate linguistically inaccessible infrastructures in their new setting. We examined the role language plays within one Local Government Area (LGA) in Western Australia via a larger Critical Participatory Action Research (CPAR) project; re-visiting the politics of resourcefulness and focusing on examples of linguistic privileging and linguistic invisibility.
The overall study included an initial needs analysis survey which enabled critical conversations around identified problems. These were further unpacked through data collected via interviews/focus groups; shadowing community leaders and LGA/not-for-profit employees in their contexts. This offered opportunities to document how stakeholders navigated or resolved known problems. The data was analysed iteratively and thematically to inform and expand conversations around potential collaborative efforts.
This article focuses on the analysis of interview and focus group data in one LGA which highlighted systematised linguistic privileging of individuals who speak certain forms of English, and the rendering of community languages as invisible by the system. In response communities created resourceful spaces where collaborative semiosis licensed collective meaning making through the community's full spatial and translingual resources, enabling access to resources, utilisation of community-generated skills, sharing of local knowledge and fostering of recognition for individuals as agents in civic life, countering the linguistic invisibility they experienced.
For institutions, such as LGAs, to catch up with communities, they need to recognise and sustain community translingualism as an essential resource. Our article outlines a viable framework for dismantling linguistic privileging and invisibility in favour of sharing language responsibility with translingual communities
Comparison of WET UCIO powder suspension and novel luminescent techniques for latent fingermark detection on the adhesive side of tape
No full textPressure-sensitive adhesive tapes are a common vector for latent fingermarks in forensic investigations, often detected using powder suspension techniques. Among these, WET UCIO, employed by the Mossos d’Esquadra Central Fingerprint Development Laboratory Scientific Police Division in Catalonia, Spain, is a carbon black powder suspension method showing promise for casework. WET UCIO also utilises a cost-effective detergent solution, enhancing its practicality and sustainability. While powder-based methods like WET UCIO have proven effective, there is growing interest in luminescent techniques, such as exfoliated Egyptian blue (EB) and CuInS2/ZnS (CIS/ZS) quantum dots (QDs), which have been successfully tested on non-porous surfaces. This study investigates the operational efficacy of WET UCIO on adhesive tapes, demonstrating its strong performance on various substrates, including dark-coloured surfaces. Additionally, luminescent techniques featuring EB and CIS/ZS QDs are explored, offering valuable insights into their potential effectiveness for forensic analysis. The performance of the WET UCIO and luminescent techniques were assessed using both deliberately placed fingermarks, and also an approach that generates incidental marks to better reflect operational casework scenarios
What is meant by ‘adequate supervision’ under the Tax Agent Services Act 2009 for individuals employed by a Partnership or a Company providing Tax Agent services?
Full text linkThe current measures of adequate supervision of tax agent practice staff are akin to having road traffic laws in place to ensure intoxicated drivers are apprehended and kept off our highways, but without a police force to detect and enforce those laws.
However, to have a TPB without the necessary resources to detect and enforce proper professional practice and the close supervision of unregistered staff is exactly where we find ourselves. We strongly recommend that an investigative organisation be established and a clear definitions of 'satisfactory supervision' be determined.
We point to a raft of similar regulated professions and industries that require a suitably qualified person to always be present while the enterprise is operating - hotels; motor vehicle dealers; real estate and settlement agencies; legal practices and so on
Narrative Transportation's Role in Shaping Travel Intentions: A Study on Persuasiveness and Net Zero Commitments
No full textThis thesis investigates the role of narrative transportation in shaping travel intentions, with a focus on persuasiveness and net-zero commitments. The study addresses the problem of ineffective marketing strategies for cultural heritage destinations in Malaysia, which face challenges in promoting lesser-known cultural heritage sites. This research contributes to the practical by developing a comprehensive conceptual framework, serving as guidelines for destination marketing organisations to implement digital storytelling effectively
Sustainability leadership and the protection of the common good
No full textIn the context of concerns about the end of a safe operating space for humanity, there are calls for societies to evolve to preserve the socio-ecological systems that underpin our long-term well-being and to protect and preserve those elements of the common good that are critical to a sustainable future. However, it is also important to recognise that broad agreement about the existence and importance of addressing global common good problems, such as climate change, can obscure profound differences of opinion in how such problems ought to be understood and addressed – differences that can be revealed in surprising and striking ways when the real work of sustainability leadership begins.
In this chapter, we invite the reader to view the concept and challenges of sustainability through the lens of the common good and to use this vital but ‘essentially contested concept’ to better appreciate the challenges and controversies that can beset the work of leadership for sustainability. We argue that such a lens provides us with a way to make sense of the complexity of sustainability and constructively engage with the underlying paradoxes that can undermine the collective action needed to address unsustainability.
The common good lens also highlights the importance of an approach to leadership for sustainability that has the wisdom and capability to harness this complexity. Critically, acknowledging that there is no single, determinate common good and accepting that the common good is naturally riven with paradoxes invites us to understand the paradoxes of the common good as sites of learning about the perspectives that must be recognised and woven together to achieve sustainability
The Place of a Child on Platforms: Responsibilities, Obligations, and Expectations
Full text linkThis panel delves into the complex entanglement of children within our 'platform society,' spotlighting their roles amidst the dynamics of platformisation, datafication, and monetisation. It scrutinises the emergence of child influencers, mapping their integration and active participation within the influencer economy. This exploration underscores the critical intersection between childhood and platformization, highlighting the commodification and monetization practices shaping children's presence on platforms. The panel seeks to understand these practices across diverse contexts, including time, platforms, geographies, and cultures, emphasizing the multifaceted roles of children as consumers, producers, and actors. The panel also examines regulatory frameworks surrounding children on platforms, focusing on governance issues related to child labour, advertising, and platform liability. It navigates the tension between viewing children as 'becomings' in need of protection and as 'beings' with an agency, contributing to the discourse on platform governance and regulatory practices. Presenting a range of papers, the panel traverses topics from the monetization of children in influencer content on TikTok, to the offering of a child influencer taxonomy, to the influence of kidfluencers on young viewers' consumption behaviors. It critically assesses the impact of digital dashboards on parenting, illustrating how children's health, location, and well-being are intertwined with datafication logic. Collectively, these papers illuminate how the place of children online is contested, as they become embroiled in practices of monetisation, visibility, and datafication across platforms and infrastructures. Our panellists draw from their empirical and theoretical work to challenge these practices, emphasising their implications for platform governance and addressing how regulations can serve children's best interests
