Are Nonhuman Animals Entitled to Dignity, Privacy and Non-Exploitation?: A Smart Dairy Farm of the Future
No full textIn this imaginary but realistic future scenario, human population and global urbanisation are at their historical highest and, as a result, natural ecosystems are under enormous pressure. To minimise the environmental impact of animal farming whilst allowing the farming industry to continue to operate and meet consumer demand, extensive outdoor farming systems are entirely replaced by intensive indoor smart farming systems. These are highly technologised environments designed to maximise production while optimising animal welfare; a practice that, nevertheless, continues to pose several welfare and ethics challenges. This project proceeded on the premise that nonhuman animals are agents capable of dignified existence, with corresponding needs for managing resources, social interactions and related goals they actively pursue. Through the application of human rights law to nonhuman animals and guided by the principles of animal-centred research adapted to our smart dairy farm scenario, a fictional world court’s judgment focused on three legal questions pertaining to farm animals’ rights to dignity, privacy, and freedom from slavery, servitude and forced labour in the context of our future farm scenario. Given the fundamental values underpinning the human rights agenda, we argue that the interests of nonhuman animals can be assured if we were to (re-)imagine a world where humans are decentralised

Evolution of Occupational Therapy Practice: Life History of Joan Rogers, PhD, OTR/L, FAOTA
No full textObjective: This qualitative study was to examine the evolution of occupational therapy practice throughout the life history and career of Joan Rogers. The purpose of the study is to provide current and future generations of occupational therapists a view of the history and how occupational therapy practice has evolved from its inception to current practice through the life history stories of occupational therapists who have held leadership roles at the national level and beyond.
Method: The Kawa Model guided Semi-structured interview questions. Throughout the interview process, the researchers gained information regarding Joan Roger’s experiences related to gaining her occupational therapy degrees, research, working in clinical practice, and retirement. The verbatim transcription was analyzed and coded.
Results: The codes that were developed were then grouped into four different categories - academics, professional life, involvement, and retirement. From these categories, twelve themes were created that led to the final assertion.
Conclusion: There were multiple barriers and supports in Dr. Rogers’ career that contributed to her success in the profession of occupational therapy. Throughout her entire career, Dr. Rogers has consistently contributed to the enhancement of the occupational therapy profession through clinical practice, research, and volunteering.https://commons.und.edu/ot-oral-histories-posters/1074/thumbnail.jp

Young Investigator: Michelle J Yoo
No full text Supervisor’s supporting comments I have always been impressed with Michelle’s ability to conduct research in an independent and yet highly effective manner. Part of her research in my group has examined the use of affinity columns to examine drug–protein binding with serum proteins, such as human serum albumin. This work is extremely important to the fields of pharmaceutical chemistry and clinical chemistry in providing the data needed for the development of new drugs or in the optimization of treatments for patients with new, or existing, drugs. Another topic that Michelle has examined in her research is the use of new supports based on monolithic materials and ultrafast-extraction methods for affinity-based separations of biological samples and high-throughput screening of drug–protein binding. She was the lead author on a review written on this topic and also has several research publications related to this area of work. During her graduate studies, Michelle has emerged as a real leader in my group. She has excellent people and communication skills and is highly motivated in her pursuit of an advanced degree in analytical chemistry and bioanalysis. I have extremely high expectations for her in the future as she continues her career.

Stand with Jono: Culture-jamming, civil disobedience, and corporate regulation in an age of climate change
No full textThe Whitehaven Coal Hoax was a striking, wild event, which has been the subject of legal debate, political discussion, and media controversy.\ud
\ud
On the 7th January 2013, Jonathan Moylan issued a hoax press release on ANZ letterhead saying the bank had withdrawn its 1.2 billion loan facility from Whitehaven’s Maules Creek Coal Project on the grounds that the project would harm the environment, and the climate. Whitehaven’s share price fell before recovering. In an interview, Moylan sought to explain his action:\ud
\ud
Well, I certainly didn’t intend any harm to shareholders in Whitehaven and, you know, for the record, I do apologise. Though I won’t apologise for exposing ANZ’s dirty investments in Whitehaven Coal and the process where the local community has been totally … We’re up against, you know, a big company here and change doesn’t happen without people taking risks and I think that, you know, this kind of thing is likely to happen in the future, perhaps not me, but people are going to be taking more and more risks to ensure that our rights and our environmental rights and the rights of landholders are respected and our children and grandchildren have a future. \ud
\ud
Moylan was charged under section 1041E of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) for making false or misleading statements, and faced up to ten years in prison and a 765,000 fine. After initially contesting the matter, Jonathan Moylan decided to plead guilty to the offence under section 1041E of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) in May 2014. \ud
\ud
On the 25th July 2014, Justice David Davies sentenced Jonathan Moylan at the Supreme Court of New South Wales for a breach of section 1041E (1) of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth). The ruling is a careful and deliberate decision, showing equipoise. Justice Davies has a reputation for being a thoughtful and philosophical adjudicator. The judge convicted and sentenced Moylan to imprisonment for 1 year and 8 months. The judge ordered that Moylan be ‘immediately released upon giving security by way of recognisance in the sum of $1000 to be of good behaviour for a period of 2 years commencing today’. \ud

This Chapter provides a ‘wild law’ reading of the ‘Stand with Jono’ controversy. Nonetheless, it adopts a somewhat approach from a number of other Chapters in this collection. This Chapter does not engage in writing a shadow text of an existing judgment. The work is not written in the style of an antinomian, dissenting judgment. As a matter of style and substance, it seemed to be inappropriate to engage in judicial impersonation in respect of a case of impersonation. Instead, a somewhat more narrative voice seemed appropriate in covering the various strands of the Whitehaven Coal Hoax. Rather than adopt a judicial voice, this Chapter seeks to chart the polyvocal debate of the ‘Stand with Jono’ controversy. In particular, the piece highlights the clash between the stentorian legal system and the wild response of civil disobedience. Hopefully, the effect will be to encourage a ‘wild law’ interpretation of the ‘Stand with Jono’ controversy, much like the other Chapters in this collection.\ud
\ud
This Chapter has several parts. First, it explores the question of hoaxes, culture-jamming, and subvertising – drawing comparisons with The Yes Men and Bidder 70. Second, this Chapter considers the role of the law in dealing with civil disobedience. In particular, this analysis draws upon the work of Bill McKibben and Naomi Klein. Third, this Chapter examines the question of the role of the regulator ASIC, and corporate regulation. It also considers the role of media in reporting upon such matters. Finally, this Chapter considers the Whitehaven Coal dispute as part of a larger push for fossil fuel divestment, both in Australia and elsewhere
