Jenny Watson Declares
No full textFor more than four decades, Jenny Watson has deliberately placed the figure of the artist at the centre of her work. We might think of this figure - a girl-woman with long red hair, big eyes and thin legs, wearing a frock - as a generic female, or perhaps as an Alice? But it is Jenny, surely? These highly narrativised paintings present such a personal, subjective and often confessional voice that it is impossible to distance their subject from the artist This is made all the more difficult by the apparently interior dialogue of the girl-woman, writ large and loud within the bounds of the figurative painting and on accompanying text panels, and the first-person narrative it tells, This may seem to simply be a case of the artist-author representing her lived experience for an audience. But, as much as this works with a candid spontaneity of address, the autobiographical positioning of Watson's works is anything but straightforward We cannot identify these issues of autobiography in Watson's painting without also remembering that her work has always been positioned as conceptual art and that she has a troubled faith in the immediacy of representation, In many ways, the relationship between the subject of Watson's paintings and their artist-maker is the point where the complexity of the works is emphatically underscored.Arts, Education & Law Group, Queensland College of ArtNo Full Tex

Reflections on undergraduate teaching
No full textCITATION: Edge, Jenny. 2019. Reflections on undergraduate teaching. South African Medical Journal, 109(3):136, doi:10.7196/SAMJ.2019.v109i3.13865.The original publication is available at http://www.samj.org.zaIntroduction: After 18 years of largely being out of undergraduate
teaching of medical students, I am once again immersed. It is the
same as it was, but it is also very different. In trying to make sense of
this difference, I reflect on what I have experienced since returning to
the clinical learning environment.
I trained in a large impersonal teaching hospital in London in
the 1980s. All consultants were treated like gods. Professors were
above them. Matrons were just below them and, working down
the chain, medical students were to be seen but rarely heard, spoke
only when spoken to, and were used for tasks on the wards that the
student nurses felt were beneath them. The ward rounds were staged,
dramatic and to be feared. As students, we were expected to be smart
and presentable – I was chastised for wearing trousers.
I arrived in South Africa (SA) in 1994 and joined Stellenbosch
University (SU)’s surgical department as a registrar. I found the
medical students to be polite and slightly old fashioned compared
with their European counterparts. Then I moved to private practice
and for the last 18 years have had minimal involvement with
undergraduates. Now I am fortunate enough to have been given the
opportunity to return to a teaching position and find myself once
again engaging with medical students in the wards. So, what has
changed?http://www.samj.org.za/index.php/samj/article/view/12548Publisher's versio

Australia's costly investment in Solomon Islands: the lessons of RAMSI
No full textSummary
In this Analysis Lowy Institute Melanesia Program Director, Jenny Hayward-Jones, argues that Australia’s massive expenditure of 2.6 billion on the Regional Assistance Mission to Solomon Islands over ten years was a high price to pay for stability in a country of 500,000 people.
The RAMSI experience showed the value of integrating Australia’s foreign, economic, aid and security policies and just as importantly of working with Pacific island partners in the region.
Large-scale missions like RAMSI would benefit from clearly defined exit strategies and rigorous assessment of performance in order to control costs and maximise impact
Verbetering van de oeververbinding Boskamp - Jenny (Suriname)
No full textDe huidige veerverbinding tussen Boskamp en Jenny funktioneert onvoldoende om te kunnnen zorgen voor een goede verkeersafwikkeling en is onbetrouwbaar en onveilig. Uit de planologische vóór-studie (rapport 1) volgt dat de benodigde overzet kapaciteit in 2019, 130 personen-auto equivalenten per uur moet bedragen. Om dit doel te bereiken, is naar verschillende alternatieve oplossingen gekeken. Na afweging van de verschillende alternatieve oplossingen, blijkt dat het "twee veerboten en nieuwe steigers" systeem het hoogst skoort. Deze geheel vernieuwde veerverbinding zal op de huidige lokatie gesitueerd worden. De veerboten zijn van het type Roll-on/Roll-off en moeten een laadkapaciteit hebben van ongeveer 30 p.a.e .. De vereiste snelheid bedraagt 18 km/u (de normale trage boten). Bij de uitwerking van de steiger konstruktie zal zoveel mogelijk hout toegepast worden. De steiger afmetingen zullen worden aangepast aan de huidige verkeerseisen. Ook zullen de steigers beschermd worden tegen aanvaringen. In dit rapport zal dit alternatief verder uitgewerkt worden.Hydraulic EngineeringCivil Engineering and Geoscience
