Falls prevention in older People: Australian Falls Prevention 2nd Biennial Conference
No full textThis second biennial conference has again attracted strong interest from researchers and health workers dedicated to improving the health care of older people. Falls are the leading cause of injury-related death and hospitalisation in persons aged 65 years and over and falls injury prevention has been identified as a Commonwealth and State health priority area. Reducing falls injury is a priority because, with the ageing of Australia's population, falls injuries and associated costs are expected to more than double between 2001 and 2051 unless effective falls prevention strategies can be identified and implemented. As many findings from the conference presentations have the potential for immediate application, there is real potential for this conference to facilitate effective changes in practice, with resultant heath care cost savings across Australia.\ud

While the present conference follows on from the inaugural conference in Sydney in 2004, it has built on and complemented National and State-based Falls Prevention Meetings and Forums. It is also a direct outcome of the highly successful collaborations resulting from the National Health and Medical Research Council Injury Prevention Partnership, Prevention of Older People’s Injuries. With the support of so many delegates, sponsors and industries, the Australian Falls Prevention Conference will continue as a regular feature on the conference calendar.\ud
\ud
The conference is also recognised as part of international efforts to prevent falls in at-risk groups. Many participants are connected to their professional bodies in other countries and participate in international forums that focus on falls in older people. There is a strong linkage with The Prevention of Falls Network Europe, which co-ordinates research across Europe into the prevention of falling amongst older people. These international connections are further evident in the delegates who are attending this conference, not only from all the Australian States and Territories, but also from the United Kingdom, Canada, China, New Zealand, Finland, Belgium, Germany, Japan and Singapore. Many national and international sponsors and exhibitors have also generously supported the conference.\ud
\ud
Delegates from a broad range of professional disciplines are attending the conference. This provides excellent opportunities for researchers, exercise physiologists, medical practitioners, nurses, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, podiatrists, optometrists, health promotion workers and aged care providers to meet, learn from each other and exchange ideas.\ud
\ud
The conference addresses the important current issues in falls and falls injury in older people. The topics include: understanding balance and the mechanisms of falls; falls epidemiology; falls risk assessment; risk factors for falls in older people and clinical groups; preventing falls in older people, hospital inpatients, aged care resident facility residents and at-risk groups; optimal exercise programs for preventing falls; the role of assistive devices including hip protectors; maximising compliance in falls interventions; falls prevention initiatives in health promotion and falls policy development. The conference includes keynote speakers from Australia and overseas, free papers, poster sessions, workshops, trade exhibitions and a lively group discussion to round off the conference. \ud

I have great pleasure in welcoming you to the second biennial Australian Falls Prevention conference. I hope that you are stimulated by your time at the conference and enjoy the social events and your time in Brisbane.\ud

'If I should die tonight' poem
No full textHumorous poem copied by Harrison Kerr and written by Benjamin Franklin King ca. 1890. The poem, titled "If I should die tonight," jokes about money owed to the author and the shock he would experience at being repaid upon his death. It was written as a parody of a serious contemporary poem of the same title.
Harrison Henry Kerr (1839-1901), born in North Georgetown, Ohio, served along with his brother, Ezra, as a private in Company D of the 58th Ohio Volunteer Infantry. He was taken prisoner at the Battle of Chickasaw Bayou, Mississippi, on December 29, 1862., and held for three months before being exchanged and returning to his regiment. He was discharged on January 14, 1865. Following the war, he was married to Elizabeth (Rettig) Kerr. The two lived in Cleveland and had one son, Harrison McKinley Kerr. In 1888, he joined the Memorial Post No. 141, Grand Army of the Republic. He is buried in North Georgetown Cemetery
Magneto–Optical Kerr Effect Microscopy Investigation on Permalloy Nanostructures
No full textThis thesis focuses on the investigation of magnetic domains in ultrasmall permalloy (Ni80Fe20) structures down to nanometre size. Magnetic domains and domain walls in nano objects are often observed using a very high resolution and high power microscope such as magnetic soft x-ray microscope, magnetic force microscopy imaging and photoemission electron microscopy. A reason for this is because the Kerr signal in nanostructures is very weak. However the results from this thesis demonstrate that magnetic domains in permalloy magnetic nanostructures can still be observed with very good contrast using a Magneto-optical Kerr effect (MOKE) microscope. The constructed Kerr microscope is a home-build wide field microscope and is able to produce magnetic domains image of permalloy nanowire as small as 245 nm, although the resolution limit of the microscope is 505 nm. For the first time, a magnetic domain in nanowire with width of 245 nm is observed using a wide-field microscope. The combination of hysteresis loops and magnetic domains observations for studying a magnetic sample provides a three-dimensional understanding of the magnetic characteristic of the sample. This is crucial in investigating nano samples as the theoretical arguments with the experimental results are always constrained by the experimental part. Three kinds of nanostructure sample were observed using the Kerr microscope; a cross nanowire, zigzag nanowire and a nanowire with notch and a nucleation pad at one end. It was found that a cross nanowire can form magnetic domains upon reversal and the junction forms a magnetisation vortex. Findings from zigzag nanowire demonstrate a complex, multiple magnetic domains formation upon magnetisation reversal. A weak domain wall pinning effect was observed in the nanowire, causing a multiple domains formation in the nanowire upon reversal. It can be confirmed that this effect was caused by the high coercivity of the nucleation pad. For the nanowire with notch, it was demonstrated that the coercivities were different at negative and positive field. But for such case, there is a relationship observed between the percentage notch depth and the coercivity at the junction
Open letter about the Whole Life Custody draft proposal by Liam Kerr MSP
No full textWe oppose the draft proposal of a Whole Life Custody (Scotland) Bill by Scottish Conservative MSP and party Justice Spokesperson Liam Kerr. In our assessment, it is as regressive and problematic in principle as it would prove to be in practice. This Open Letter acts as a written submission to the Member's Consultation on this proposed Bill

No full textRecently, a nonlinear Fourier transform-based Kerr-nonlinearity identification algorithm was demonstrated for a 1000 km NZDSF link with accuracy of 75%. Here, we demonstrate an accuracy of 99% over 1600 km SSMF. Reasons for improved accuracy are discussed.Accepted Author ManuscriptTeam Sander Wahl
