Four Songs from Hafez
No full textResearch Background:
The research involved the Australian Premiere of the work “Four Songs from Hafez” (2007) by prominent British composer Sally Beamish (OBE) alongside leading British baritone Roderick Williams (OBE), as guest artists at the Australian Festival of Chamber Music (AFCM) in 2018.
Research Contribution:
“Four Songs from Hafez” is a notable song cycle by an international composer of high repute, consisting of settings of the 14th-century Persian Sufi poet in English translations by the Iranian-born, Glasgow-based artist Jila Peacock. Each song uses a bird or animal to describe separation from, and longing for, the Beloved. Introducing this important new music - with its unique rich blend of diverse cultural influences - to Australian audiences represents a significant contribution to the New Music landscape in this country.
Research Significance:
The Australian Festival of Chamber Music is the foremost event of its kind in Australia, attracting large in-person audiences and broad listenership nationally and internationally via ABC Classic radio and digital service. This backdrop represents a significant platform from which to disseminate the research broadly alongside my distinguished international collaborator. The performance was further peer-reviewed in the most widely-read national classical music publication, Limelight Magazine (excerpt below):
“Love was the theme of the Australian Festival of Chamber Music’s eighth day … which featured a wonderful performance of Sally Beamish’s Four Songs from Hafez by baritone Roderick Williams and pianist Daniel de Borah …”

A multilevel analysis of the effects of rurality and social deprivation on premature limiting long term illness
No full textSTUDY OBJECTIVE---To examine the geographical variation in self perceived morbidity in the south west of England, and assess the associations with rurality and social deprivation.DESIGN---A geographically based cross sectional study using 1991 census data on premature Limiting Long Term Illness (LLTI). The urban-rural and intra-rural variation in standardised premature LLTI ratios is described, and correlation and regression analyses explore how well this is explained by generic deprivation indices. Multilevel Poisson modelling investigates whether Customised Deprivation Profiles (CDPs) and area characteristics improve upon the generic indices.SETTING---Nine counties in the south west of EnglandPARTICIPANTS---The population of the south west enumerated in the 1991 census.MAIN RESULTS---Intra-rural variation is apparent, with higher rates of premature LLTI in remoter areas. Together with high rates in urban areas and lower rates in the semi-rural areas this indicates the existence of a U shaped relation with rurality. The generic deprivation indices have strong positive relations with premature LLTI in urban areas, but these are a lot weaker in semi-rural and rural locations. CDPs improve upon the generic indices, especially in the rural settings. A substantial reduction in unexplained variation in rural areas is seen after controlling for the level of local isolation, with higher isolation, at the wider geographical scale, being related to higher levels of LLTI.CONCLUSIONS---This study highlights the need to treat rural areas as heterogeneous, although this has not been the tendency in health research. Generic deprivation indices are unlikely to be a true reflection of levels of deprivation in rural environments. The importance of CDPs that are specific to the area type and health outcome is emphasised. The significance of physical isolation suggests that accessibility to public and health services may be an important issue, and requires further research

This ministry project involves the development of servant leaders at Progressive Missionary Baptist Church in Columbia, Missouri. Chapter 1 offers the background for Progressive Missionary Baptist Church through presenting the need for developing servant leaders. Chapter 2 outline the biblical and historical foundation for the project through utilizing three primary sources that identify Jesus Christ as the ultimate model of a servant leader. Chapter 3 presents the theoretical/practical/ historical issues related to servant leadership by examining current approaches, essential to the nucleus of leadership. Chapter 4 details and describes the process for implementation for the six-week training sessions. In addition, the foundation of the project centers on developing servant leaders through utilizing the ultimate biblical model. The final chapter provides analysis of data, along with examining the goals of the project. Furthermore, the strengths and weaknesses are discussed along with suggestions for future inquiry

2007 Colin Roderick Lecture
No full textLet me thank my audience for coming to listen to me today: let me thank the Foundation for Australian Literary Studies for inviting me to give this year’s Colin Roderick Lectures.<br />I like to think that Professor Roderick would have looked kindly on the choice of a lecturer drawn from the bleak, ambiguous demi-monde where journalism and literary endeavours meet - for he was involved, as many of you will know, during his days as an editor at Angus and Robertson, in the celebrated libel case in 1961 over “The Bandar-Log,” a novel, still unpublished, by the distinguished Canberra press gallery journalist, Alan Reid. Roderick’s own writings had a strong influence on me at a particular point in my path as an author: but the one act of his that resonates most strongly in my thoughts is the decision he made, 40 years ago, to establish a centre for the study of Australian writing here in the North.</jats:p
The Haddon matrix: its contribution to injury prevention and control
No full textWilliam Haddon Jr, a public health physician, was instrumental in applying scientific methods to the study of injuries, particularly motor vehicle injuries. The Haddon matrix, a conceptual model for the systematic exploration of countermeasures, provides an integrated approach to injury control. The matrix includes pre-event, even, and post-event phases, and human, agent/vehicle, and environmental factors. In the motor vehicle field, the matrix helped to shift what was a nearly exclusive focus on the pre-event/human cell to a broader approach involving event and post-event phases. As a result, much has been accomplished through vehicle design changes and other factors to ameliorate the consequences of crashes. In addition, considerable progress has been made in changing behavior in ways that reduce the likelihood of crashes or the severity of their consequences, primarily through the passage of laws in combination with education and public information efforts
Polyphony and the anxiety of influence in the fiction of Henry James
Full text linkJames's fiction, especially in the Middle Phase, centres
on the figure of the artist and is characterized by, the two
interrelated aspects which previous criticism has largely
overlooked: the Bakhtinian 'polyphonic' -creation of
'author-thinkers'; and the conflict between ephebes and
precursors, for which Harold-Bloom's concept of 'the-anxiety of
influence' is the most illuminating model. Polyphony is the
narrative mode, and influence is the intra-artistic, theme.
These, as the Introduction to the thesis makes clear, are
rehearsed in James's inaugural novel, Roderick Hudson. Rowland
Mallet is an author-thinker, and his failure is caused by
authorial limitations. His monologism -is impaired by his
mistaking empathy for the authorial sympathy. Likewise,
Hudson's failure does not arise from a mercurial temperament,
but from a polyphonic shortcoming: not possessing the power of
fiction to contain the fiction of power in, his mentor. And the
relationships among the three artists - Gloriani, Hudson and
Singleton - perfectly exemplify the Bloomian-theme. It is these
two concepts, polyphony and influence, which are the major
preoccupation in the Middle Phase; as, the works chosen
demonstrate. These are a novella, a novel, and a number of
short stories all of which have been unjustifiably neglected.
Chapter One, on The Aspern Papers, argues that Tina Bordereau,
far from being, the artless victim seen by many critics,
actually challenges and defeats the narrator by the very form
of her narrative. Her 'realist' discourse undermines his
language of 'romance', and shows up its internal unstability.
Chapter Two is an extensive study of the critical reception of
The Tragic Muse. The most common areas of critical attention
have been its contemporary topicality, its relation to previous
novels on similar themes, and the possible genealogy of Gabriel
Nash. Those have all missed the core of the work. - Chapter Three
demonstrates how polyphony and the anxiety of influence make
the novel what it really is. Influence arises from the
juxtaposition of, and the wrestling between, artistic ephebes
and their precursors (Nick and Nash,, Miriam and Madame Carre).
The dialogic quality defined by Bakhtin is crucial to the
proper, and even-handed, characterization of all, the conflicts
in the novel. And since most of James's tales in the eighties
and nineties -are about 'masters - and acolytes, the anxiety of
influence remains central. Chapter Four is a study of 'The
Author of Beltraffiol' and 'The Lesson of the Master'. Again the
characters' manipulations are a crucial focus in a way that
G6rard Genette's terminology helps to illuminate. The fact that
the ephebe is the author-thinker emphasizes the inextricability
of the Bakhtinian and the Bloomian in James. Just as
polyphony offers a different focus for explicating the poetics
of James's fiction; so the ephebal conflict provides the basis
for a fresh perception of James's own artistic struggle
