The distribution, chronology and significance of late Holocene aged stone-based structures on Pitta Pitta Country, western Queensland
No full textThere is considerable discourse around the timing of Australia’s interior colonisation and whether environmental or technological impacts pushed people into occupying more arid environments. However, the general scarcity of rockshelter sites and the limited amount of research undertaken to date in central western Queensland has meant this region has only been peripherally considered in such debates. It is well recognised that, by the time Europeans began documenting lifeways in the region in the late 1870s, central western Queensland had given rise to complex and thriving Aboriginal societies, despite the boom-or-bust nature of its seasonal cycles. One of these is the Pitta Pitta people, who had a pivotal role in a vast trade network that traversed the Lake Eyre Basin, extending north to the Gulf of Carpentaria. The Pitta Pitta are also seemingly unique in that, as far as available data suggest, they are the only group in western Queensland to have used stone in their construction of gunyahs (huts), despite similar environmental and geographic conditions in adjacent areas to the east (Diamantina National Park) and south (Mithaka Country). Here we describe 70 stone-based huts spread across four site complexes on Marion Downs Station and use these to underpin discussions about Pitta Pitta lifeways in the late Holocene.Full Tex

Bridging the 'gap‘ between migrants and the banking system: an innovative business model promoting financial integration, financial stability, and profitability
No full textThe thesis probes a specific area - the banking system and the business niche concerned with migrants' remittances - and considers the flows of these people and their money in today‘s global economy (over 3% of the world's population). It argues that the banking system has failed to understand the changing "paradigm" of the migrant market and thus has not updated its business plan or business model for this business segment in response. In failing to harness the liquidity of the migrant market, the author argues, the banking industry is missing out on a potentially profitable business segment that could create financial stability within the industry and the world's economies. Furthermore, by ignoring the "gap" that exists between the financial products on offer to the migrant sector and their needs in this respect in both the host and origin countries - providing a service at "both ends of the corridor" - the industry is also in danger of losing site of its commitment to social responsibility and the financial integration of migrants. At the heart of the argument for financial stability and financial integration is the proposition that there is a lack of communication among stakeholders, namely academic and financial institutions, governments, Diaspora associations and other decision makers
Over het verschil tusschen Pitta guajana guajana en Pitta guajana affinis
No full textIn 1776 beschreef P. L. S. Müller (Syst. Nat. Suppl., p. 145) naar aanleiding van in Oost-Java verzameld materiaal de nominaatvorm dezer pitta onder de naam Turdus guajanus, terwijl de in West-Java levende ondersoort affinis als Myiothera affinis in 1821 door Horsfield (Trans. Linn. Soc.
London, vol. 13, p. 154) werd beschreven op grond van in Bantam verkregen materiaal. In Cat. Birds Brit: Museum (vol. XIV, 1888, p. 445/6) vatte Sclater deze beide soorten samen onder de naam Eucichla cyanura.
Robinson & Kloss (Treubia, vol. V, 1924, p. 279) noemden de OostJava vogels Eucichla c. cyanura en die van het Westen Eucichla cyanura affinis, welke naam ook door Bartels & Stresemann (1929) werd gebezigd. Later toonde Boden Kloss echter aan, dat de naam cyanura diende te worden gewijzigd in guajana (Journ. Mal. Br., Royal As. Soc., vol. IV, 1926, p. 161), terwijl Chasen in diens Handlist (1935) het geslacht Eucichla met Pitta vereenigde en deze brengt Pitta guajana guajana op voor OostJava en Bali en Pitta guajana affinis voor het Westen van dit eiland.
De oorspronkelijke beschrijving der beide ondersoorten hebben wij niet ter beschikking, maar Kuroda (Birds of the Island of Java, vol. I, 1933, p. 339) deelt ten aanzien van de nominaatvorm het volgende mede. ,,Characters: — Very similar to E. g. affinis of W. Java, but the blue gorget much more broader (10 mm in width in ♂).
Adult ♂ (E. Java) — The ground-colour of underparts yellowish instead of brownish yellow as in affinis and the throat also whiter.
Adult ♀ (Bali) — "The ground-colour below of this female is not white as described in Cat. B. Brit. Mus. XIV. p. 446, but yellowish buff, and the throat is more white (HARTERT).
