Healthy life gains in South Australia 1999-2008: analysis of a local Burden of Disease series
No full textBACKGROUND: The analysis describes trends in the levels and social distribution of total life expectancy and healthy life expectancy in South Australia from 1999 to 2008. METHODS: South Australian Burden of Disease series for the period 1999-2001 to 2006-2008 and across statistical local areas according to relative socioeconomic disadvantage were analyzed for changes in total life expectancy and healthy life expectancy by sex and area level disadvantage, with further decomposition of healthy life expectancy change by age, cause of death, and illness. RESULTS: Total life expectancy at birth increased in South Australia for both sexes (2.0 years [2.6%] among males; 1.5 years [1.8%] among females). Healthy life expectancy also increased (1.4 years [2.1%] among males; 1.2 years [1.5%] among females). Total life and healthy life expectancy gains were apparent in all socioeconomic groups, with the largest increases in areas of most and least disadvantage. While the least disadvantaged areas consistently had the best health outcomes, they also experienced the largest increase in the amount of life expectancy lived with disease and injury-related illness. CONCLUSIONS: While overall gains in both total life and healthy life expectancy were apparent in South Australia, gains were greater for total life expectancy. Additionally, the proportion of expected life lived with disease and injury-related illness increased as disadvantage decreased. This expansion of morbidity occurred in both sexes and across all socio-economic groups. This analysis outlines the continuing improvements to population health outcomes within South Australia. It also highlights the challenge of reducing population morbidity so that gains to healthy life match those of total life expectancy.David Banham, Tony Woollacott and John Lync
Between brutalists: The Banham hypothesis and the Smithson way of life
No full textThis essay revisits the debates on the New Brutalism as it emerged in Great Britain in the early 1950s. The shifting positions of its main propagators, Alison and Peter Smithson and Reyner Banham, are scrutinised through a re-reading of the polemics of the period and its aftermath. Conventionally, Banham's ground-breaking essay of 1955 ‘The New Brutalism’ is used as a starting-point for a unified history of New Brutalism. However, as it turns out, the Smithsons and Banham held very different opinions about the direction of the New Brutalist project. Whereas Banham advocated an integration between architecture and the latest technologies, the Smithsons sought to combine modern architecture with a multiplicity of tendencies within British culture, reaching back to Arts and Crafts concepts, among others. To open up the discourse and to measure the various shifts, the essay discusses the concept of ‘Image’, identified by Banham as one of the key concepts of New Brutalism, in relation to the various statements made by the Smithsons. In contrast to Banham, the Smithsons defined New Brutalism by laying emphasis on the material qualities of architecture and the aspects of process and making in architectural construction. This was related to their ambition to redesign the system of relationships between the everyday, domesticity, labour and the larger society. In short, it was a different ‘way of life’ that was behind the Smithsons' project for New Brutalism.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.OLD Woningbou
Mechanism and landscape: Reyner Banham and América
No full textPeter Reyner Banham (1922-1988) foi um dos críticos e historiadores de arquitetura responsáveis pela revisão crítica do movimento moderno. Esta dissertação pretende abordar o olhar do autor em direção às expressões vernaculares modernas na arquitetura, design na paisagem dos Estados Unidos. Este olhar seria amparado pela relação entre arquitetura e tecnologia. O Primeiro Capítulo consiste em um estudo historiográfico dos deslocamentos intelectuais da Europa aos Estados Unidos da América. A formação das instituições de ensino de arquitetura americanas será investigada, bem como a trajetória de arquitetos, críticos e historiadores de arquitetura europeus, dando destaque a geração de intelectuais ingleses à qual Banham pertence. O Segundo Capítulo investigará a obra de Reyner Banham sobre as relações entre arquitetura moderna e tecnologia, focando em seu estudo crítico a respeito dos historiadores modernos e suas posturas em relação à arquitetura americana. O Terceiro Capítulo é um estudo teórico sobre o olhar de Banham sobre as paisagens culturais dos Estados Unidos, e dos objetos da arquitetura cotidiana, da cultura de consumo de massa, e das expressões anônimas no espaço urbano.Peter Reyner Banham (1922-1988) was one of the architectural historians responsible for the critical revision of the modern movement. This dissertation aims on the approach on the author\'s view of the modern vernacular expressions in architecture, design in the United States landscape. This specific view have been supported by his experience in the relationship between architecture and technology. The first chapter consist in a historiographical survey on the intellectual displacements from Europe to the United States of America. The formation of the American architecture teaching institutions will be investigated, as the trajectory of the European architects, critics and architectural historians, outlining Reyner Banham\'s generation of British intellectuals. The second chapter visits Reyner Banham\'s works, regarding the relationships between modern architecture and technology, focusing his critical study on the modern historians and how they stand towards American architecture. The third chapter is a theoretical study on Banham\'s view on the cultural landscapes of the U.S., and the objects of everyday architecture, mass consumption culture, and the anonymous expressions in urban spaces

Empathetic ecocultural positionality and the forest other in Tasmanian forestry conflicts
No full textTasmania’s forests have been the site of a decades-long conflict. Popularly, politically, and provocatively termed the ‘forestry wars,’ the question of competing sides – jobs versus the environment – often dominates this dispute. Tasmanians, and others engaged in similar conflicts throughout the world, require a new language of conflict – one that takes seriously the transformative nature of human–nonhuman relationships. Drawing on Ezzy’s (2004) response to Emmanuel Levinas’s concept of ‘the face,’ in Chapter 28 of the Routledge Handbook of Ecocultural Identity, Banham argues for recognition of a form of ecocultural identity the author terms empathetic positionality. Empathetic positionality refers to ways an individual’s position in the Tasmanian forest conflict is informed by their perception of forestry practices as violent acts committed against the forest other – an other to whom one has an ethical obligation. The chapter offers an alternative view of the conflict, arguing that concerns about forestry often are predicated upon relationally informed perceptions of violent practices rather than political opposition to the existence of a forestry industry per se. Empathetic positionality is an articulation of identity complexities beyond opposing sides or incompatibilities, and instead envisages new ways forward that propose a reimagining of conflicts. Banham explores the interaction between power dynamics and emotional responses (such as grief) to forestry practices, advocating for respect of the forest as a participant in discussions of its own fate. Through a recognition of empathetic positionality, the author calls for a reshaping of dominant conversations underpinning conflicts over extractive industries, not only in Tasmania but internationally. This chapter argues that concerns about forestry often are predicated upon relationally informed perceptions of violent practices rather than political opposition to the existence of a forestry industry per se. It opens with a description of empathetic positionality – a form of ecocultural identity in which, the author argues, empathetic response shapes one’s position in an environmental conflict. She then discusses the theoretical literature informing this argument about jobs versus trees, or Greens versus loggers, including Ezzy’s response to Levinas’s concept of ‘the face.’ She begins a conversation of new ways forward – in Tasmania, if not globally – that take into account the ethical and emotional aspects of human–forest engagements without necessarily advocating for an end to forestry industries. To recap, empathetic positionality is an aspect of ecocultural identity, in which one’s position in an environmental conflict stems from that individual’s recognition of the involved nonhuman as the other to whom one has ethical obligations

The effect of general practice contact on cancer stage at diagnosis in Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal residents of New South Wales
No full textPublished online: 17 June 2023.
Data source: Supplementary information, https://doi.org/10.1007/s10552-023-01727-6Purpose: Older age, risks from pre-existing health conditions and socio-economic disadvantage are negatively related to the prospects of an early-stage cancer diagnosis. With older Aboriginal Australians having an elevated prevalence of these underlying factors, this study examines the potential for the mitigating effects of more frequent contact with general practitioners (GPs) in ensuring local-stage at diagnosis. Methods: We compared the odds of local vs. more advanced stage at diagnosis of solid tumours according to GP contact, using linked registry and administrative data. Results were compared between Aboriginal (n = 4,084) and non-Aboriginal (n = 249,037) people aged 50 + years in New South Wales with a first diagnosis of cancer in 2003–2016. Results: Younger age, male sex, having less area-based socio-economic disadvantage, and fewer comorbid conditions in the 12 months before diagnosis (0–2 vs. 3 +), were associated with local-stage in fully-adjusted structural models. The odds of local-stage with more frequent GP contact (14 + contacts per annum) also differed by Aboriginal status, with a higher adjusted odds ratio (aOR) of local-stage for frequent GP contact among Aboriginal people (aOR = 1.29; 95% CI 1.11–1.49) but not among non-Aboriginal people (aOR = 0.97; 95% CI 0.95–0.99). Conclusion: Older Aboriginal Australians diagnosed with cancer experience more comorbid conditions and more socioeconomic disadvantage than other Australians, which are negatively related to diagnosis at a local-cancer stage. More frequent GP contact may act to partly offset this among the Aboriginal population of NSW.David Banham, David Roder, Sandra Thompson, Anna Williamson, Freddie Bray, David Curro
