Climate change and equity
No full textThe Gavin Mooney Memorial Essay Competition honours the work and memory of the late Professor Gavin Mooney, a health economist who was a tireless advocate for social justice in local, national and international arenas.
Launched in 2013, the competition seeks to draw public attention to social justice and health equity concerns, and to recognise the public-interest value of writing and writers.
The inaugural competition called for essays on the theme of climate change and equity, in recognition of the work of Professor Mooney’s late partner Dr Delys Weston. Each year the competition will call for entries related to a theme around equity and social justice.
Sydney GP Dr Tim Senior took out the inaugural 2013 prize with his essay “Climate Change and Equity: Whose Language Is It Anyway?”. The judges said the winning entry challenges the language of climate change activism, and also incorporates the voices of those who are most likely to be affected by climate change.
The four runner-up entries are by Steve Campbell and Lucie Rychetnik, Oscar McLaren, Peter Boyer and Dora Marinova, and Fergus Green

The lordship of Galloway c. 1000 to c. 1250
No full textThe recorded history of the lordship under the House of Fergus
lasted from only e. 1130 to 1231, but its origins lie in the fusion of
the various peoples settled there by c. 1000. A blend of Celtic and
Germanic groups created a hybrid culture that had more in common with
Man and the Isles than mainland Scotland. Galwegian attitudes to and
relationship with Scotland before c. 1130 are unclear, but ties with
York and Man had greater value than Scottish claims to overlordship.
The emergence of a powerful line of rulers kept the ambitions of the
Crown in check, but any divisions in their ranks were exploited by the
Scots. Close family links with the Plantagenet kings provided a
counterbalance to Scottish interference, but brought English
overlordship instead. This had the side-effect of securing the
separation of the see of Whithorn from the Scottish Church.
Marriage and kinship ties brought the lords political power in
Scotland, England and Man, and control of estates outwith the
lordship. This in turn led to the closer integration of Galloway into
Scotland as its rulers gained high office in the kingdom. Thus the
lords developed a dual character as Anglo-Scottish baron and Celtic
chieftain. Introduction of Normanised colonists and the development
of 'feudal' military tenures fostered this transition and eroded
regional particularism. Integration was accelerated by elimination of
the male line and partition between heiresses married into
Anglo-Norman families. Division broke the power of Galloway, weakened
the influence of its new rulers over the Galwegians and gave the Crown
the control for which it had long striven

A Fergus Hume Novel's Occult Folklore and the Ancient Continent of Lemuria
No full text"[He was] wondering what thought hovered at the hack of his brain about Easter Island. He had visited that lonely and little known spot during his travels in the company of a friend given to occult studies, who insisted that the dismal spot of land was one of the remaining portions of the great Continent of Lemuria, which was said to have stretched from New Zealand to Africa." --Fergus Hume, 'The Sacred Herb' (1908), p. 41. "'This cup', said Horace, raising it aloft, 'is thousands and thousands of years old. It is a remnant of Lemurian civilization.'" --op. cit., p. 319. These quotations come from near the beginning and end, respectively, of one of the more surprising middle-period novels from the prolific Fergus Hume (1859-1932), author of 'The Mystery of a Hansom Cab' (1886), and sometime resident of Melbourne, where his remarkable literary career began. Appropriately both the Victorian and New South Wales State Libraries in Australia hold copies of this rare text, 'The Sacred Herb' which is filled with passing references to: Australia (p. 274); New Zealand (p. 41), and Hokitika (p. 18) in particular; Polynesia (passim and especially p. 294); the South Seas, Samoa, Tahiti and the British Empire and its colonies
Continuous glucose monitoring in a cohort of prepubertal children with Type 1 diabetes mellitus : a comparison of glycaemic outcomes to clinical and biochemical markers of diabetes control
No full textTHESIS 9188In type 1 diabetes, monitoring of glycaemic status is considered a cornerstone of diabetes care and vital in the prevention of diabetes complications. Intermittent daily self monitoring of blood glucose levels provides a limited view of a patient\u27s glycaemic control whereas continuous glucose monitoring provides an ambulatory record of glucose levels which more accurately reflects glycaemic control. Available data on continuous glucose monitoring in children is limited, difficult to replicate and restricted to basic comparative analysis. This project aimed to devise a novel algorithm that would comparatively analyse CGMS data expanding on previously published methods to include quantitation of inter- and intra-day glycaemic variation. The CGMS was repeated on four occasions to ascertain if education and repeated CGMS use improved glycaemic variation or HbA1c and reduced hypoglycaemia. Finally, short-term outcomes of glycaemia were evaluated to ascertain if twice daily insulin regimens or behaviour are directly impacted by glycaemia
