May Morris
No full textMay was born at sea about 1859 to William Henry Groves and Sarah (nee Matthews); the birth was registered at Picton, New South Wales. In May 1877, May was a widow living at Sandy Creek in the Northern Territory where she met and married Publican of the Diggers Arms Hotel, Leonard Searles. Almost two years after the marriage Leonard and May split due to an infidelity by May; Leonard eventually left the Territory. In the 1891 Territory census May is listed as May Morris and she was living with a Harry Morris at Mt Todd, where daughter Zena Myrtle was born. In 1895 when May was 36, she was one of the 82 women who enrolled to vote after the franchise was granted to South Australian and Territory women in 1894.

At Pine Creek in 1907 May's daughter Zennie married Ernest Castle. In July 1913 William Marstin died in the Territory. May died on 3 April 1915 at the Adelaide Hospital in South Australia.HousekeeperPionee

On the cohomology of generalized homogeneous spaces
No full textWe observe that work of Gugenheim and May on the cohomology of classical homogeneous spaces G/H of Lie groups applies verbatim to the calculation of the cohomology of generalized homogeneous spaces G/H, where G is a finite loop space or a p-compact group and H is a "subgroup" in the homotopical sense
From compliance to concordance: meeting the needs of patients?
No full textAbstract of a pharmacy practice research paper presented at the British Pharmaceutical Conference, Glasgow, 23-26 Sep 2001. Interviews with 21 English speakers of Pakistani origin with type 2 diabetes. Results suggest that it may be more appropriate to link concordance to an approach which seeks to sensitively elicit patient narratives as a basis for shared understanding
Secondary Literacy Across the Curriculum
No full textThis paper discusses the challenges and possibilities attendant upon successfully implementing literacy across the curriculum initiatives – or ‘school language policies’ as they have come to be known – particularly at the secondary or high school level. It provides a theoretical background to these issues, exploring previous academic discussions of school language policies, and highlights key areas of concern as well as opportunity with respect to school implementation of such policies. As such, it provides a necessary conceptual background to the subsequent papers in this special issue, which focus upon the Secondary Schools’ Literacy Initiative (SSLI) – a New Zealand funded programme that aims to establish cross-curricular language and literacy policies in secondary schools
The construction of Karen Karnak: The multi-author-function
No full textThis thesis is situated within the comparatively recent developments of Web 2.0 and the emergence of interactive WikiMedia, and explores the mode of authorship within a Read/Write culture compared to that of a Read/Only tradition. The hypothesis of this study is that the role of the audience has become merged with the author, and as such, represents new functions and attributes, distinct from a more conventional concept of authorship, in which the roles of audience and author are more separate. Read/Write and participatory culture, as defined by this study, is focused on collaboration, and includes the influences of D.I.Y. culture, Open-Source practices and the production of text by multiple authors. Multi-authorship presents a re-thinking of several concepts which support the notion of the individual author, since the focus of multi-authorship is not on attribution and ownership of a finished text, but on the continued malleability of a text. Modes of multi-authorship, demonstrated in the use of the pseudonyms Alan Smithee and Karen Eliot, represent declarative authors whose names signify multiple origins, whilst concurrently indicating a distinct body of work. The function of these names form an important context to this study, since primary research involves the construction of an experimental mode of multi-authorship utilising WikiMedia technology and the interaction of thirty nine participants, who are invited to create a body of work under the collective pseudonym Karen Karnak. The data generated by this experiment is analysed using aspects of Michel Foucault's author-function to identify and determine power structures inherent in the WikiMedia context. The interplay of power structures, including concepts such as identity, ownership and the body of work, affect the resulting mode of authorship and contribute to the construction of Karen Karnak, suggesting further areas of research into the emerging multi-author
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
