Mapping the Discipline of the Olympic Games An Author-Cocitation Analysis
No full textThe authors conducted an author cocitation analysis on prominent authors writing about the Olympics during the 1990s. Author cocitation is an established bibliometric technique that can be used to measure the relative similarities of topics written about by the cited authors. This enables a visual representation of the “intellectual space” of the discipline, in this case the Olympics, to be created for the period under review. So core and peripheral research areas are identified, along with their major contributors. The representation appears as a two-dimensional cluster-enhanced map. Subject expertise was then applied to the results to place labels on the generated clusters of authors and their topics

Review of higher education access and outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people: final report
No full textThis report proposes a collaborative approach be developed involving universities, governments, professional bodies, the business sector and communities working together to improve the lives of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people through higher education.
The Review of Higher Education Access and Outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People follows on from the 2008 Review of Higher Education (the Bradley Review) by proposing measures that address what is a significant gap between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and non-Indigenous Australians’ higher education outcomes.
The Bradley Review recognised, in light of Australia’s growing economic and social policy challenges, the need for specific strategies to increase the participation in higher education of groups currently underrepresented within the system, particularly those from a low socio-economic status (SES) background. The Bradley Review specifically identified the need to address access and outcomes in higher education for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
The terms of reference for the Review of Higher Education Access and Outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People (the Review) asked the Review Panel (the Panel) to provide advice and make recommendations in relation to:
achieving parity for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students, researchers, and academic and non-academic staff
best practice and opportunities for change inside universities and other higher education providers (spanning both Indigenous-specific units and whole-of-university culture, policies, activities and programs)
the effectiveness of existing Commonwealth Government programs that aim to encourage better outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians in higher education
the recognition and equivalence of Indigenous knowledge in the higher education sector.
The Panel proposes a collaborative approach be developed involving universities, governments, professional bodies, the business sector and communities working together to improve the lives of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people through higher education. Strategies outlined in the report include attracting and retaining more Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students and staff, improving academic achievement, simplifying and better focusing university and government support programs and ensuring that graduates are better equipped to meet the needs of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people through embedding Indigenous perspectives in teaching, learning and research.
The expert panel consisted of Professor Larissa Behrendt (Chair), Professor Steven Larkin, Mr Robert Griew and Ms Patricia Kelly
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health organisations: online services report - key results 2013-14
No full textThis sixth national report provides an overview of 269 Australian Government-funded organisations that aim to improve the health of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. It presents findings from the 2013-14 Online Services Report data collection, including the health services and activities provided by these organisations, staffing levels and client numbers, as well as health service gaps and challenges faced by the communities they serve.
In 2013-14, most (79%) of these organisations delivered health services through 1 site, with the remaining having 2 or more delivery sites. Sixty-two per cent of organisations were Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisations, 14% were other non-government organisations and 24% were government-run organisations. Three-quarters (76%) of organisations were accredited against either the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners or organisational standards. This was higher than in 2012-13 (70%).
More staff and more client contacts in primary health-care organisations
In 2013-14, 203 of these organisations (76%) provided primary health-care services to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, similar to the number in 2012-13 (205). The number of full-time equivalent staff employed at 30 June 2014 was 7,108 and just over half of these were Indigenous (53%). The number of staff was 7% higher than at 30 June 2013.
Primary health-care services were provided to around 419,000 clients through 4.6 million contacts. The number of contacts increased by 13% (around 543,000) compared with 2012-13. There were large increases in the number of contacts for allied health professionals (46%), nurses and midwives (30%) and doctors (10%).
This may partly reflect increases in the number of staff in 2013-14. The number of clients was similar in 2012-13 (around 417,000).
Most counsellors providing social and emotional wellbeing or Link Up counselling services were Indigenous
In 2013-14, 95 organisations (35%) provided social and emotional wellbeing or Link Up counselling services. These organisations employed 189 counsellors and 62% of these were Indigenous. Services were provided to around 16,600 clients through 88,200 contacts.
Substance-use episodes of care increase
In 2013-14, 56 organisations (21%) provided substance-use services. Around 43,000 clients were seen through 371,000 episodes of care. Most episodes of care (95%) were for non-residential, follow-up or after-care services.
Episodes of care increased by 22% (around 66,000) compared with 2012-13, largely due to an increase in the number of non-residential episodes of care.
Key gaps and challenges
Sixty-one per cent of all organisations reported a service delivery gap in their communities for mental health and social and emotional health and wellbeing.
Recruitment, training and support of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander staff (68%) and staffing levels (58%) were commonly reported as challenges to providing quality services
Natural Resources Research Institute Map
No full textThis map (NRRI/MAP-2002/02) is the outcome of eight field days mapping and sampling in the area by the senior author. The initial
impetus for this mapping was to try to define Duluth Complex induced contact-metamorphic zonation in the footwall Giants Range
batholith, and to relate this to Cu-rich mineralization in these rocks. Research into footwall Cu-rich mineralization continues, and will be
published in the future. However, the discovery of large expanses of Cu-Ni mineralized rock in the basal zone of the South Kawishiwi, in
an essentially unmapped area, lead to this preliminary map (Figure 1). The geologic map represents the initial interpretaton of the bedrock
geology of the basal zone of the South Kawishiwi Intrusion, based on mapped outcrops, subcrops, and glacial materials (float). In addition,
geologic units intersected in drill holes have been projected updip to the surface. The faults depicted on the map are interpreted from
aeromagnetic data, steepening of the dip of the basal contact of the Duluth Complex, and topographic lineaments. The location and
simplified regional geology encompassing the map area is depicted in Figure 4.
The lithologic legend of the geology map is simplified into the intrusive stratigraphy of the South Kawishiwi Intrusion first defined
by Severson (1994). Readers interested in detailed descriptions of the regional South Kawishiwi Intrusion stratigraphy are referred to
that work. Cu-Ni-PGE mineralization is largely confined to the basal stratigraphic units of the intrusion (units BAN, BH, and U3), and
on the ground is largely represented by knob-like outcrops, and large expanses of rusty, gossaneous boulder fields (subcrops). Old test pit
dumps (circa 1890 ?) into the Biwabik Iron Formation are common in the southern portion of the map, and occur in areas of anomalous
magnetic field properties.
Seventy-five rock samples (Figure 2) were collected in the area (described in Table 1), and Dr. Philip Brown and John Marma
(Department of Geology, University of Wisconsin - Madison) provided the funding for the base- and precious-metal analyses of
twenty of these samples (presented in Table 2). Check assays for anomalous samples were analyzed by ALS Chemex labs from the original
pulps and rejects (Table 2). Assay data for the majority of the drill holes in the map area have been compiled by Peterson (1997), which
includes > 60,000 geochemical analyses for drill holes throughout the Duluth Complex.
The smaller-scale property position map (Figure 3) depicts the current mineral lease holders in the area, and should only be viewed as
a "snapshot" of the mineral land positions at the date of this map. Detailed geologic mapping in the area, including additional geochemical
analyses, has been approved from the Permanent University Trust Fund, and will be completed during the 2002 field season.Peterson, Dean M; Marma, John; Brown, Philip. (2002).

Building audiences: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander arts
No full textBuilding Audiences examines the barriers to and the strategies for increasing audiences in the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander arts sector. This research investigates the attitudes, beliefs and behaviours of current and potential audiences.
What is in the report?
The findings reveal the key barriers facing audience attendance include:
uncertainty about how to behave at cultural events and fear of offending
lack of awareness with audiences not actively seeking information about Indigenous arts
and outdated perceptions of the sector – that it is only perceived as ‘serious or educational’.
Building Audiences also considered several strategies to build audiences for Indigenous arts:
providing skills development, advice and resourcing to Indigenous practitioners within the arts sector;
increasing representation of Indigenous artists in the main programing of arts companies by including more Indigenous people in decision making roles;
promoting relationships between Indigenous arts and non-Indigenous companies to present their work to wider audiences;
introducing children and young people to Indigenous arts through schools and extracurricular activities;
allowing audiences to feel comfortable engaging by creating accessible experiences;
implementing long-term strategies to change negative perceptions of Indigenous arts.
The project was commissioned by the Australia Council for the Arts and funding partners include Australia Council for the Arts; Faculty of Business and Law and Institute of Koorie Education, Deakin University; Melbourne Business School, The University of Melbourne
Natural Resources Research Institute Map
No full textThis map is the first of what is hoped (contingent on funding) to be a series of new detailed bedrock geology maps of the marginal
zone of the South Kawishiwi Intrusion by the University of Minnesota Duluth's Natural Resources Research Institute (see Peterson,
2006). Such mapping will form the basis for continued exploration for Cu-Ni-PGE mineralization as well create the geologic base
upon which environmental review associated with exploitation of such mineralization can be built.
Recent detailed mapping at a scale of 1:5,000 by the authors was conducted west and south of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area
Wilderness (BWCAW). Nearly 1,000 outcrops along approximately 100 kilometers of field traverses were examined to identify and
confirm the internal lithologic variability, contact relationships, and structure of the Nickel Lake Macrodike between the BWCAW
and Omaday Lake. The authors wish to acknowledge Dr. Paul Weiblen (emeritus professor of geology at the University of
Minnesota) for his keen insight of the geology of the area and Dr. George Hudak and undergraduate student Jeremiah Gowey of the
University of Wisconsin Oshkosh for assistance in mapping outcrops around and south of Omaday Lake. Additional reconnaissance
mapping in early November by the senior author was conducted to field check compiled outcrop locations depicted on the 1957
INCO map of the Spruce Road Deposit and the 1968 Hanna Mining map of the South Filson Creek Deposit (both of which are
publically available in the DNR archive at Hibbing, Minnesota). The reconnaissance mapping confirmed the location of gossaneous
Cu-Ni bearing INCO outcrops and reconfirmed the outstanding field mapping of all types of Duluth Complex rocks by Hanna
Mining Company geologists of the late 1960s (see figure of "Sources of Information").
This map has been built upon (in the areas surrounding depicted outcrops and historic drill holes) the 1966 map of the Gabbro Lake
15' quadrangle by Green et al. (Minnesota Geological Survey Miscellaneous Map M-2), which because of its quality has been the
geologic foundation for this area for 40 years. The reader of this map should compare the author's interpretation of the bedrock
geology to that depicted on M-2, which will undoubtedly highlight the need for continued detailed mapping of the marginal zone
of the South Kawishiwi Intrusion (which was not the purpose of map M-2), especially in light of the greatly increased interest in the
potential for exploiting the vast resources of Cu-Ni-PGE mineralization enclosed within these rocks. The Nickel Lake Macrodike is
lithologically and structurally related to the South Kawishiwi Intrusion and the known Cu-Ni-PGE deposits of Birch Lake, Maturi,
Maturi Extension, Spruce Road, and South Filson Creek.
The citation for this map includes the caveat "Version 1", which points out the fact that the authors believe that more detailed
geologic mapping and analytical studies (no petrography or geochemical analyses of recently collected samples has been
completed) are needed to truly understand what the bedrock geology enclosed within the boundaries of this map sheet (and the
area to the west-southwest) really is (ie. we've only begun to scratch the surface). This map and all associated GIS data (in ArcView
3.2 format) can be obtained online at http://www.nrri.umn.edu/egg/publicationlist.html.Funded by the Permanent University Trust Fund, Project Numbers 783-1070, 783-1047, and 783-1226Peterson, Dean M; Albers, Paul B; White, Chris R.
