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

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
Erratum:Randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial of perhexiline in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction syndrome (Future Cardiology (2014) 10:6 (693-698))
No full textFollowing publication of the Clinical Trial Protocol by Satnam Singh, Roger Beadle, Donnie Cameron, Amelia Rudd, Maggie Bruce, Baljit Jagpal, Konstantin Schwarz, Gemma Brindley, Fergus McKiddie, Chim Lang, Dana Dawson and Michael Frenneaux, titled ‘Randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial of perhexiline in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction syndrome’, which appeared in the December 2014 issue of Future Cardiology (Future Oncol. 10[6], 693–698 [2014]), it has been brought to our attention that the author names were presented incorrectly as:Satnam Singh, Roger Beadle, Donnie Cameron, Amelia Rudd, Maggie Bruce, Baljit Jagpal, Konstantin Schwarz, Gemma Brindley, Fergus Mckiddie, Peter Nightingale, Chim Lang, Dana Dawson and Michael Frenneaux.The correct presentation should be:Satnam Singh, Roger Beadle, Donnie Cameron, Amelia Rudd, Maggie Bruce, Baljit Jagpal, Konstantin Schwarz, Gemma Brindley, Fergus Mckiddie, Chim Lang, Dana Dawson and Michael Frenneaux.The authors and editors of Future Cardiology would like to sincerely apologize for any inconvenience or confusion this may have caused our readers.<br/
Renewed Trombe wall passively reduces energy consumption
No full textIn order to reduce the energy demand of households, a new type of Trombe wall is being designed during a ‘research through design project’ called ‘Double Face 2.0’. A Trombe wall is a passive system that reduces the energy demand of a building. In winter, it captures the heat from the sun during the day and releases this heat into the building at night. In summer, it captures the heat from internal sources during the day and releases that heat at night towards outdoors. First simulations showed that our prototype of a lightweight, translucent, adjustable Trombe wall reduces the energy demand for heating of a typical Dutch household by 25-30%. Instead of stone-like materials, the new type of Trombe wall will consist of translucent materials: phase change material (pcm) and insulating aerogel. The insulation gives the opportunity to direct the thermal mass of the pcm. In this way, the system is adjustable for cooling and heating purposes. A selection of the design concepts is described in this paper, explaining the design choices and method of validation. Depending on the level of detail, different simulation software has been used. This paper describes the comparison and the experiences of using it.Accepted Author ManuscriptBuilding PhysicsDesign Informatic
Early Irish law : The present state of research
No full textEarly Irish Law : the present state of research.
The author discusses the developments in the study of Early Irish Law since the publication of D. A. Binchy’s six-volume Corpus Iuris Hibernici in 1978.
He deals in particular with the aims of the Early Irish Law Series, in which three volumes have already been published, and discusses current thinking on the problem of the authorship of the law-texts.Le Droit irlandais ancien : état présent des recherches.
L’auteur discute les derniers développements dans l’étude du Droit irlandais ancien, depuis la publication du Corpus Iuris Hibernici de D.A. Binchy, en six volumes, en 1978. Il traite en particulier des objectifs de la collection “Early Irish Law Series”, dont trois volumes sont déjà parus. Il discute aussi des opinions récentes concernant les auteurs des textes de lois.Kelly Fergus. Early Irish law : The present state of research. In: Etudes Celtiques, vol. 29, 1992.
