Agenda for change: strategic choices for the next government
Get PDFThe next government has a primary requirement to be well briefed on the challenges inherent in Australia’s strategic circumstances and the policy options available to it. ASPI is publishing this report to layout our strategic choices and to provide recommendations.
Contributors are Peter Jennings on strategic policy, Mark Thomson and Andrew Davies on defence, Anthony Bergin and Kristy Bryden on homeland security, Russell Trood on foreign policy and Ryan Stokes on economic security.
This body of ideas makes a compelling contribution to the discussions which ought always to characterise the Australian strategic and defence debate
Moral Good, the Beatific Vision, and God’s Kingdom Writings by Germain Grisez and Peter Ryan, S.J.. Edited by Peter J. Weigel
No full textFor close to half a century, the work of Germain Grisez has been highly influential, and his writings continue to receive considerable attention from philosophers and theologians of diverse viewpoints. His co-author for this work is the professor and noted moral theologian Fr. Peter Ryan, S.J., currently the executive director of the Secretariat of Doctrine and Canonical Affairs of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB). These two eminent scholars explore fundamental questions about Christian eschatology, moral theory, the purpose of human life, and the promise of human fulfilment. The authors examine Christian teaching on the final destiny of persons, investigating the meaning of God's kingdom, the hope of the beatific vision, and the centrality of moral goodness and divine grace in one's final end. This work is an ideal source for students, scholars, ministers and lay persons interested in basic questions of Christian theology, the philosophy of religion, ethical theory, and Catholic doctrin

Joint loading asymmetries in knee replacement patients observed both pre- and six months post-operation
No full textBackgroundStudies have highlighted asymmetries in knee joint moments during activities of daily living in individuals with osteoarthritis and joint replacements. However, there is a need to investigate the forces at the knee joints in order to establish the extent of loading asymmetry.MethodsTwenty healthy (mean, 62; range, 55-79 years of age) and 34 pre- to post-knee arthroplasty (mean, 64; range, 39-79 years of age) participants performed gait and sit-stand activities in a motion capture laboratory. Testing was conducted 4 weeks pre- and 6 months post- knee arthroplasty. Knee joint forces and moments were predicted using inverse dynamics and used to calculate peak loading and impulse data which were normalized to body weight. Comparisons were made in loading between affected and contralateral limbs, and changes from pre- to post-knee arthroplasty.FindingsPre-knee arthroplasty mean peak vertical knee forces were greater in the contralateral limb compared to the affected limb during both gait 3.5*body weight vs. 3.2*body weight and sit-stand 1.8*body weight vs. 1.5*body weight. During gait, peak knee adduction moment asymmetries significantly changed from pre- to post-knee arthroplasty (-0.3 to 0.8*% Body weight*m*Height), although differences in vertical knee forces remained. The sit-stand activity showed vertical ground reaction asymmetries slightly increased post- knee arthroplasty (from 0.06*body weight pre- to 0.08*body weight post). The healthy participants showed no noteworthy asymmetries.InterpretationThis study showed loading asymmetry of the ground reaction and tibio-femoral forces between affected and contralateral limbs both pre- post-knee arthroplasty. Continued over reliance of the contralateral limb could lead to pathology.<br/

Predicted knee kinematics and kinetics during functional activities using motion capture and musculoskeletal modelling in healthy older people
Get PDFKnowledge of joint forces and moments is essential for comparisons between healthy people and those with pathological conditions, with observed changes at joints providing basis for a particular intervention. Currently the literature analysing both kinematics and kinetics at the knee has been limited to small samples, typically of young subjects or those who have undergone joint arthroplasty. In this study, we examined tibiofemoral joint (TFJ) kinematics and kinetics during gait, sit-stand-sit, and step-descent in 20 healthy older subjects (aged 53-79 years) using motion capture data and inverse dynamic musculoskeletal models. Mean peak distal-proximal force in the TFJ were 3.1, 1.6, and 3.5 times body weight (N/BW) for gait, sit-stand, and step-descent respectively. There were also significant posterior-anterior forces, with sit-stand activity peaking at 1.6N/BW. Moments about the TFJ peaked at a mean of 0.07Nm/BW during the sit-stand activity. One of the most important findings of this study was variability found across the subjects, who spanned a wide age range, showing large standard deviations in all of the activities for both kinematics and kinetics. These data have provided an initial prediction for assessing kinematics and kinetics in the older population. Larger studies are needed to refine the database, in particular to reduce the variability in the results by studying sub-populations, to enable more robust comparisons between healthy and pathological TFJ kinematics and kinetics
