Book ChapterPublication Academic acceleration(NSW Association for Gifted and Talented Children Inc, 2009)Merrotsy, PeterThe classical understanding of acceleration is progress through an educational program at a rate faster or at an age younger than conventional. This is now referred to, more appropriately, as academic acceleration. Academic acceleration is grounded in and well supported by research. It is valid pedagogics, and it is an appropriate response to the educational and social needs of a student whose cognitive ability and academic achievement are several years beyond those of their age-peers. (Southern & Jones, 1991.) Since the early 1990s, academic acceleration has been an educational option recommended by the NSW Board of Studies as one of the ways that should, at the least, be considered when responding to the learning needs of gifted children (their Guidelines for accelerated progression were first published in 1991; cf. NSW Board of Studies, 2004). However, it would appear that many teachers and executive teachers are reluctant to accelerate children, and that the wider community expresses antipathy, or stronger emotion, about its practice. This chapter presents an outline of current theory of academic acceleration through a discussion of curriculum for gifted students, the benefits of acceleration, a model for acceleration, guidelines for implementing an acceleration program, the findings of recent research on acceleration in rural and regional NSW, and on-going issues related to the practice of acceleration.1384 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Book ChapterPublication Affidavits(LexisNexis Butterworths, 2009) ;Colbran, Stephen ;Reinhardt, Greg ;Spender, Peta ;Jackson, Sheryl ;Douglas, RogerTownes O'Brien, MollyAn affidavit is a sworn statement used in support of or against an application in court. Affidavits, like oral evidence, are subject to the rule against hearsay. However, the hearsay rule does not apply to affidavits used in interlocutory proceedings (which are accepted on information and belief, provided the source of the information and the grounds of belief are stated). The Rules of Court contain detailed requirements as to the form and structure of affidavits. There are complicated rules concerning the form of the jurat and the procedures for swearing or affirming the contents of an affidavit. A jurat (meaning 'he or she swears') is a statement at the end of an affidavit setting out the name of the deponent, his or her signature, where and when the affidavit was made the name of the person who took (witnessed) the affidavit, and the signature and title (or description) of the person who took the affidavit. Affidavits may annex or exhibit documents to which they refer, depending on the jurisdiction. Affidavits are required to be filed and served before they can be used in proceedings. The maker of the affidavit may also be required to attend the court for cross-examination. The courts have power to prevent scandalous and irrelevant affidavit material making its way onto the court file. Alterations or erasures to affidavits must be authenticated by appropriate procedures. Non-compliance with the rules governing affidavits can be sanctioned with leave of the court. Effective affidavits are built upon the exercise of drafting skills. Brevity, style and attention to detail should be the hallmarks of an affidavit. Affidavits are always a reflection of your ability to gather and present evidence in written form. But never forget that an affidavit is that of the deponent, not his or her lawyer.1413 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Book ChapterPublication Alles zusammenfassenKomorbidität ist häufig und betrifft ein Drittel oder mehr der Weltbevölkerung. Jüngste Schätzungen zur Co-Prävalenz deuten darauf hin, dass ihre Präsenz zunimmt. Sie ist mit einer erheblichen chronischen Krankheitslast, Behinderung, hoher Sterblichkeit und hohen laufenden Kosten für den Einzelnen und die Gemeinschaft verbunden, was ihre erhebliche Auswirkung innerhalb und außerhalb des Gesundheitssystems widerspiegelt. Daher gehört die Aufklärung der Ursachen von Komorbidität derzeit zu den obersten Prioritäten in der klinischen Praxis. Es gibt jedoch derzeit nur wenige Protokolle und klinische Praxisleitlinien, die Ärzten helfen können, komorbide Zustände auf koordinierte Weise zu behandeln. Stattdessen haben sich die Leitlinien und Protokolle eher auf einzelne Störungen konzentriert und sie berücksichtigen im Allgemeinen keine Komorbiditäten. Dies hat dazu geführt, dass die komorbiden Störungen behandelt werden, als wären sie isolierte klinische Einheiten, wobei jede Erkrankung separat, oft von verschiedenen Ärzten, behandelt wird. Daher besteht ein klarer Bedarf an der Entwicklung neuer klinischer Praxisleitlinien und therapeutischer Ansätze, die Komorbidität berücksichtigen, insbesondere bei Patienten mit hochprävalenten und hochkomorbiden Störungen.

Book ChapterPublication Answering your significant research questions with the aid of a research matrix(Australian Council for Educational Research Press (ACER Press), 2012); There are two parts to this chapter: the first contains some ideas about identifying significant research questions and how to structure the argument leading to their identification. On the way, we point out some useful tools to assist you in your study. The second part introduces you to our research matrix as a device to facilitate your work. The matrix is a table or spreadsheet that uses the significant questions as the organising feature (left-hand column) guiding the research design and the methodological decisions of the study (headings of the first row). Many of our candidates have found using the research matrix has repaid their efforts for a number of reasons. For some it is a tool that allows them to see the study as it develops, and eventually the whole study is apparent in the one place. For others it keeps them on track because it provides a vehicle for discussion with supervisors. In its simplest relatively complete form, the research matrix looks like Table 10.1 for a primary research question and three sub-questions. For a matrix like this to work effectively the research questions have to be largely established beforehand. There is little point in working out the matrix until the key concepts have been identified and established by identifying what they are in the research questions and, if required, their sub-questions. Put another way, the research design and methodology follow the articulation of the research questions. However, getting the research questions right is not straightforward. Let's begin with this issue.2515 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Book ChapterPublication Appeal and New Trial(LexisNexis Butterworths, 2009) ;Colbran, Stephen ;Reinhardt, Greg ;Spender, Peta ;Jackson, Sheryl ;Douglas, RogerTownes O'Brien, MollyAn appeal is a substantive right created by statute enabling a party to seek to set aside or vary an order. The conferring statute determines the nature of an appeal, which typically falls into one of three types: appeals by way of rehearing, appeals by way of hearing 'de novo' and appeals in the strict sense. Australian court systems have multiple levels of jurisdiction. Each level, with the exception of the High Court, generally has an avenue of appeal.The scope and nature of the appeal depends upon the terms of the statute creating the right of appeal. Appellate courts have wide powers to affirm, vary, or reverse judgments under appeal. Other powers include sending a case back for a retrial, setting aside jury verdicts, and granting a retrial. Appeals are commenced by a notice of appeal that briefly states the grounds of the appeal. In some cases leave to appeal is required. The appeal court will require the appellant to prepare an appeal book or record, including pleadings, affidavits, orders and transcripts of evidence. Appeals may also have related applications. Examples include seeking a stay of execution pending an appeal, security for costs, leave to appeal and an application for an extension of time in which to file or serve a notice of appeal. There are many substantive bases upon which appeals are brought. The most common include errors of law, misexercise of discretion, incorrect findings of fact, incorrect inferences drawn from facts, excessive or insufficient assessments of damages and misdirections juries. Considerable difficulty arises in relation to the admission of fresh evidence available at trial, and to a lesser extent where a new point arises after judgment. New points and objections may also arise before judgment. Appellate courts have the power to grant a new trial where there has been a substantial wrong or miscarriage of justice. New trials tend to be avoided due to the duplication of costs incurred in rehearing the evidence. Appeals are an essential process for ensuring consistency and maintaining the high quality of the Australian judicial system.1097 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Book ChapterPublication Appearance(LexisNexis Butterworths, 2009) ;Colbran, Stephen ;Reinhardt, Greg ;Spender, Peta ;Jackson, Sheryl ;Douglas, RogerTownes O'Brien, MollyAn appearance is the procedure used by the defendant to inform the plaintiff that he or she intends to defend the proceedings. In Queensland, an appearance is known as a Notice of Intention to Defend. In the Australian Capital Territory, it is called a Notice of Intention to Respond. Appearances can be of two types, though both types are not available in all jurisdictions. An unconditional appearance acknowledges the court's jurisdiction and waives any irregularity in service or commencement of proceedings. This is the most commonly used form of appearance. The other form of appearance is a conditional appearance. Conditional appearances do not waive procedural irregularities, but preserve arguments based on lack of jurisdiction and other irregularities. In the event that an appearance is not entered, the defendant is at risk of a default judgment being entered against him or her. Appearances have been abolished in South Australia in favour of filing a Notice of Address for Service (Forms 7, 8). In New South Wales (r 6.11) and the Australian Capital Territory (r 106 - Notice of Intention to Respond), an appearance can be used by a defendant to submit to the orders of the court (with the option, except as to costs) and take no part in the proceedings.1235 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Book ChapterPublication Article 100: DépensesL'article 100 du Statut de Rome organise l'attribution des dépenses liées à l'exécution des requêtes et constitue une clause générale qui s'applique à toute forme d'assistance ou de coopération. Cette disposition règle ainsi un problème pratique dans le cadre de la coopération internationale et de l'assistance judiciaire, auxquelles les Etats parties sont tenus en vertu de l'article 86. Elle fonctionne dans un double sens : celui des dépenses liées aux requêtes formulées par la Cour aux Etats et celui des requêtes formulées par les Etats à la Cour. Lorsqu'une requête est adressée à un Etat par la Cour, le paragraphe 1 de l'article 100 dispose que les dépenses sont à la charge de l'Etat qui exécute la demande, à l'exception des frais prévus aux alinéas a) à f). En revanche, lorsqu'une requête est adressée à la Cour par un Etat partie, notamment en ce qui concerne la transmission de documents et l'interrogatoire d'une personne détenue par ordre de la Cour, aux termes de l'article 93-10 du Statut de la CPI, en vertu du paragraphe 2 de l'article 100, les frais ordinaires sont pris en charge par la CPI.1141 5 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Book ChapterPublication Article 101: Règle de la SpécialitéLa règle de la spécialité est un principe essentiel du droit de l'extradition, dont la nature coutumière n'est pas cependant complètement acquise. Elle prévoit qu'un sujet ne peut être poursuivi et condamné que pour les faits mentionnés dans la demande d'extradition, en l'absence d'accord contraire de l'Etat requis ou du consentement du sujet extradé. Vu qu'il se situe à l'intersection des rapports entre Etats et individus, le principe de spécialité se justifie aussi bien par la souveraineté qu'en raison des droits fondamentaux. D'après la majorité de la doctrine, la protection individuelle ne serait qu'une conséquence des droits de l'Etat requis. Cependant, une autre interprétation voit dans la règle de la spécialité un moyen autonome de protection de l'individu. En toute hypothèse, il s'agit d'une dérogation au principe selon lequel un Etat ne doit pas se préoccuper du traitement qu'un autre Etat accorde aux étrangers. La règle de la spécialité a été introduite dans de nombreux traités multilatéraux et bilatéraux, ainsi que dans certaines lois nationales d'extradition. En ce qui concerne les traités multilatéraux, on peut citer l'article 14 du Modèle de traité sur l'extradition adopté par les Nations Unies en 1990 et l'article 14 de la Convention européenne conclue à Paris le 13 décembre 1957. En ce qui concerne les traités bilatéraux, on mentionnera l'article 19 du Traité d'extradition entre la France et les Etats-Unis d'Amérique signé à Paris le 23 février 1996. En droit interne, l'article 7 de la loi française du 10 mars 1927 énonce le principe de spécialité.1134 4 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Book ChapterPublication Article 102: Emploi des TermesL'article 102 précise le sens des termes qui désignent le transfert des personnes dans le cadre du Statut de Rome. Cette disposition établit une distinction importante entre remise et extradition, laquelle souligne les différences entre les rapports qui lient la Cour aux Etats et les relations interétatiques. Ainsi, le terme « extradition » n'est jamais utilisé dans le cadre des rapports entre les Etats et la première juridiction pénale internationale permanente.1156 7 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Book ChapterPublication Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander, New Zealand Maori and Remote Area Mental HealthThere are approximately 517,200 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people residing in Australia. This represents 2.5 per cent of the total Australian population. When compared with non-Indigenous Australians, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are less likely to be employed, are less likely to own a home and are overrepresented in supported accommodation for the homeless and those at risk of becoming homeless. While Australians enjoy relatively good health overall, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people experience higher death rates than non-Indigenous Australians across all age groups (Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, 2008). Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people also experience higher rates of some mental disorders and social and emotional well-being problems than others (Australian Health Ministers' Advisory Council, 2004a). Prevalence estimates of mental illness in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are not well researched or documented in Australia.1215 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Book ChapterPublication Being Open to PlaceThis chapter stresses the importance of the need for schools and teachers to have a broad understanding of the rural context because of the social and cultural capital that students in rural places bring to the school and to the classroom. These understandings provide opportunities for teachers, particularly those from urban areas, who may perceive rural locations stereotypically. The chapter makes the case for this stereotypical vision to be replaced by a more realistic and place-oriented perspective. It does this by using current research, which challenges common-sense assumptions about rural schools as well as providing generalities that can be starting places for place-based understandings.

Book ChapterPublication Biological Nitrogen Fixation: Enhancement TechniquesLegume biological nitrogen fixation (BNF), resulting from the symbiotic relationship between legumes and rhizobia, a soil bacteria, is a key process in agriculture with the crop legumes alone supplying about 24 million tons of nitrogen (N) annually for global grain production. The specific amount of N fixed by a legume crop in a farmer's field essentially depends on the productivity of the crop and the level of soil mineral N in the field. Productivity can be enhanced by optimizing crop use of growing season and space, andnutrient and water resources, with careful attention to species and cultivar choice, planting time, row spacing and plant density, pest, disease and weed control, and crop nutrition. The suppressive effects of soil mineral N on BNF can be reduced through practices that lead to reductions in soil mineral N, such as notillage. Inoculation of legumes at sowing is another practice that can enhance BNF. It is virtually impossible to obtain accurate figures, but it is likely that about 50 million hectares of crop legumes, equivalent to about 25% of the area sown globally, are inoculated each year.1744 4 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Book ChapterPublication BloodHaemoglobin is usually slightly low due to the anaemia of chronic disease. This is a secondary sideroblastic anaemia that results from impaired transfer of iron to red blood cells in states of illness. Anaemia in anorexia nervosa can also be due to deficiencies of iron, vitamin B12, folic acid and, rarely, copper. Anaemia can be caused by self-phlebotomy. Self-phlebotomy should be suspected if haemoglobin level drops quickly, if haemoglobin level has dropped more than 30%, if there is an associated iron deficiency, if there is no nutrient deficiency or if there are unexplained needle marks. Almost all cases of self-phlebotomy occur in health care workers. Rarely, marrow failure will result from drug toxicity or just from malnutrition itself. This can be life-threatening.1827 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Book ChapterPublication Breach of Statutory DutyStatutes are made by parliament. They represent an entirely different genus of law from common law or judge-made law. Each provides a different source of power. The right of a plaintiff to sue under a statute derives from the statue itself; the right to sue under common law derives from the common law. One is a specific, exactly dated text (the statue); the other an historically informed body of rules and principles (the common law). ... Breaches of a statutory provision on the part of a defendant may be used in one or two ways by the plaintiff: 1. to add to the evidence that the defendant was negligent at common law on the basis of owing a duty of care, breaching that duty, and in doing so, causing damage; or 2. to in itself rise to a cause of action - breach of a statutory duty - which is separate and distinct from a common law negligence claim.1112 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Book ChapterPublication The Byzantine PeriodThe period in Western Asian history from the fourth to the mid-seventh centuries AD is variously referred to as "Roman," "Late Roman," "Late Antiquity" or "Byzantine." The term "Byzantine" is used here, following the refined period division of Levantine archaeologists to distinguish the last centuries of the eastern Roman empire before the Islamic conquest. There is no historically formal beginning for the period, the choice being one of scholarly convenience. The year AD 324, when Constantine I founded the new imperial capital of Constantinople, provides a logical marker. The eponymous site, at the junction between Asia and Europe, was the old Greek settlement of Byzantion. The focus of administration of the Roman empire moved from Rome to centre on the Balkans and the eastern Mediterranean. It is from here that a Christian and primarily Greek-speaking state evolved.2346 1 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Book ChapterPublication Case Study 11-1: A Patient With PTSD, Treatment Interventions Including Virtual Reality Exposure, and OutcomesMary is a 20-year-old college student who presented to the university counseling service with fear of driving on busy freeways, especially at night. The problem emerged 12 months ago after she was involved in a five-car accident while returning late from college. Another driver who swerved from the outside lane into her lane caused the accident. She was sideswiped by the car, and the resulting accident involved three other cars. No one was killed. However, one other driver had serious injuries. Mary had to be cut from her car, which took over 5 hours. Throughout the incident, Mary remembers thinking she was going to die. Before this, Mary had not experienced any significant anxiety and had been able to drive in any conditions. Since the accident, Mary has stopped driving; has become anxious, leading to avoidance of many situations; experiences poor sleep due to nightmares; is easily startled; and feels depressed. Mary's college work and social life are severely affected, and she is in danger of failing. She has been to her family practitioner, who has prescribed 50 mg of sertraline daily. Mary often forgets to take her medicine and believes it does not really help. The counseling service referred Mary to the community psychiatric/mental health nurse, who helps Mary recognize that her fear of driving is a symptom of post-traumatic stress disorder. The nurse has suggested several approaches to Mary's problems. First, they work to improve sleep problems using a standard sleep hygiene approach. Second, she tackles her nondriving-related avoidances, such as agreeing to meet friends and go shopping. Finally, the nurse helped Mary to see the benefits and disadvantages of her medication. This discussion led to Mary's agreeing to take her medication regularly to see if it would help. After 2 months of weekly sessions, Mary began to show some general improvement. However, her fear of driving remained and she continued to struggle at college. One week, Mary told the nurse about a TV program showing a virtual reality (VR) driving simulator treatment for people who have been in car accidents. The nurse stated she knew of this and would find out if it were available. The nurse was able to arrange a VR demonstration in the next session. After seeing how the simulator could help, Mary agreed to use it. Both the nurse and Mary were fitted with VR glasses, and different driving experiences were introduced. At first, Mary practiced quiet daytime driving and progressed to busy freeway night driving. Mary's anxiety about driving reduced quickly over 3 weeks. However, she still had not returned to driving. The nurse suggested that Mary repeat the VR exercises but in her own car. This involved graded live exposure. At first, Mary drove with friends and family in quiet times, moving to driving with others at night and then finally on her own at night. After 6 weeks, she had completely returned to driving, her college and social life was back to normal, and she experienced no anxiety.2272 2 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Book ChapterPublication Case Study 13-1: A Woman With Depressed MoodAlula Tarif's daughter, Leila, had called the community mental health clinic to request an evaluation for her mother. She said that she and her older brother live with her mother and that - though her brother does not think that there is anything wrong with their mother - she has become very worried about her mother's increasing complaints of fatigue, lack of energy, and loss of interest in life. She had bought her mother some multi-purpose vitamins, but when she did not seem to improve, she had taken her mother to the primary care physician, who recommended that she be evaluated at the community mental health clinic. When Leila called for an appointment, she said that it was very important that her mother be seen by a woman doctor. An appointment was arranged with a female psychiatric nurse practitioner. Alula Tarif enters the examining room hesitantly, holding the arm of her daughter, Leila. She is dressed in a black long skirt and long-sleeved loosely fitting tunic top and is wearing a headscarf that covers her hair and forehead. She appears much older than her stated age of 43 years. Her face is lined and there are dark circles under her eyes. She does not make eye contact and appears very anxious. She responds to the nurse's greeting with a nod. Leila explains that her mother speaks Kurdish, and although she understands a little English, she does not speak much English. The nurse asks Mrs. Tarif if she would like to have her arrange for an outside interpreter. When Leila translates the question, Mrs. Tarif becomes very agitated and prepares to leave unless Leila can stay and interpret for her.2217 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Book ChapterPublication Case Study 18-1: Comprehensive Assessment of a Patient With Antisocial Personality DisorderJames is a 27-year-old Caucasian male who presented at interview with expansive mood. Affect was friendly, engaging, and initially appropriate to words. He appeared well groomed, tall, and very muscular, wearing clean, expensive name-brand athletic wear, jeans, and sneakers. He was tanned, with large dark eyes and long eyelashes, highlighted by a single, blackish-blue, teardrop-shaped tattoo under one eye. (Interviewer aware that literature shows that some gang members have one tattooed teardrop under their eye as a symbol for each person's life they have taken.) James reported that last month he had been court ordered to go to counseling but skipped a few appointments, as he believed he knew more about life than the counselor. In a matter-of-fact way, he stated that because he missed counseling and had a fight with the mother of his 4-year-old son, he was arrested. He then presented as very remorseful, with intrusive eye contact, and stated, "The judge told me I had to resume counseling, so I'm ready to work on improving myself." He then leaned forward in his chair and stated, "I was in a gang for awhile but I gave up that life for the sake of my son."2903 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Book ChapterPublication Children's LearningThis chapter provides an introduction to theories of learning, which is defined as how children make sense of reality and make meaning in a social world. The chapter briefly considers well-known models of learning that focus on individual construction of knowledge (Skinner and Piaget) and then discusses more fully the view of the child as an active co-constructor of knowledge (Bruner. Donaldson, Rogoff. Vygotsky. etc.). The chapter also discusses recent literature on learning relationships, dispositions and play. Learning is considered generally, not in terms of school curricula (see Dowling. 2005; Siraj-Blatchford, 2004). However, the ideas about learning introduced in this chapter do have implications for learning and teaching in schools and readers are encouraged to reflect on this afterwards. Also, there is not scope within the chapter to give a detailed consideration of how children learn language, but it should be remembered that most children in the world are bilingual or multilingual (over 70 per cent). The ability to understand and speak more than one language can be a considerable benefit to learning in general (see Brooker, 2005; Brown, 1998; Gregory et al., 2004).1312 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Book ChapterPublication Conducting and Writing a Literature ReviewNow that you have been introduced to using library resources in the previous chapter, we are going to put some of these methods into practice. In this chapter, we are going to take you step-by-step through the process of undertaking a literature review. We start with some background information about literature reviews, describe some of the different types of literature reviews and when they may be used, and then explain how to develop a focused research question and how it can be used to search the literature. We take you through how to develop search terms, screen the literature against inclusion/exclusion criteria, critically appraise the literature and extract data. Important considerations about how to record your literature search and how to prioritise the literature are also discussed. Even if you are not ready to undertake a literature review right now, having a good understanding of the steps involved will stand you in good stead for future research projects.2975 9 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Book ChapterPublication Connecting the Dots(Random House Australia, 1996)James, WendyOnce at a party I introduced myself. – Hi, I said, – Hi, I'm Sarah, Sally's daughter. But I'm not. I'm Sally. She's Sarah. I'm Sally, Sarah's daughter. I'm Sally. Sarah: 'Princess' from the Hebrew. derivatives: Sarey, Salley, Sal. I'm living at home with her again. The thing with Simon lasted around eight months, I think. No, not think, know. The whole thing only lasted that long from start to finish and here I am back again. Just her and me. In my old bedroom again and everything pretty much the same: my books back in their shelves above the desk, my pillow back under its lacy bedspread, clothes folded neatly and where they should be. I've taken down the print, the Renoir she gave me for my eighteenth and put up the photo Simon bought instead. It's a little bit smaller, though, so all around it there's a frame of faded pink paint. If I lie flat on my back and stare straight ahead I can see it from my bed. The black and white Paris scene, with its thin black frame and the extra frame in palest pink. Apart from that, though, everything's pretty much the same.1050 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Book ChapterPublication Contact Languages of the PacificWith over 1,000 indigenous languages and a recent history of colonial exploitation, the Pacific region has provided a fertile context for the growth of contact languages. This chapter first describes new languages (pidgins and creoles) and then new dialects (koines and indigenized varieties) that have emerged in the Pacific as the result of language contact. Pidgins are new languages that develop out of a need for a medium of communication among people who do not share a common language – for example, between traditional trading partners or among plantation laborers from diverse geographic origins. Although the chapter shows the diverse origins and linguistic features of Pacific contact varieties, some commonality in their development can also be seen in various shared characteristics. These include formal simplicity compared to contributing languages.1002 4 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Book ChapterPublication Cooperative and Work-Integrated Education in Teacher EducationThis chapter describes the importance the practicum in initial teacher education (ITE) programs and how it is assessed. In particular, it focuses on developing genuine partnerships between schools and ITE institutions and the development of student teachers' reflective skills. It is written in the context of the authors' own experiences of initial teacher education at the University of Waikato in New Zealand and the University of New England in Australia.1041 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Book ChapterPublication Critical Thinking and the Nursing Process(Pearson Australia, 2012)Scully, NatashiaAnalysing complex data about patients, making decisions about problems, identifying a range of possible interventions and deciding on the most appropriate are all integral aspects of nursing practice. Nurses today must be informed and inquisitive and base their practice on high quality evidence. Although critical thinking has many definitions, one of the most useful for nursing is from the North American National League for Nursing (2000): 'Critical thinking in nursing practice is a discipline specific, reflective reasoning process that guides a nurse in generating, implementing, and evaluating approaches for dealing with client care and professional concerns' (p. 2). The Australian Nursing and Midwifery Council (2008) national competency standards indicate the need for registered nurses and midwives to be able to think critically about client care and to have the skills to contribute to the evidence-based practice framework through research and to apply research to their practice.949 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Book ChapterPublication Curriculum and Critical InquiryThis chapter begins with a discussion of 'common sense' thinking as a way of apprehending the social and cultural environment and then moves on to discuss the challenges of critical thinking. In the second part, the role of critical thinking in two well-known curriculum frameworks is explored. These frameworks can be used as templates for the analysis and evaluation of current curriculum policies and practices. The final section includes an exploration of the impact on the curriculum of the current neo-liberal thinking in major English speaking countries.605 2 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Book ChapterPublication DamagesThe award of damages in the torts law context aims to restore the plaintiff making the claim to his or her pre-accident position, as far as money can. The plaintiff must prove on the balance of probabilities: • that the defendant owed a duty of care; • the defendant breached the duty of care; • the defendant suffered compensable loss or damage, that is, loss or damage recognised by the law as something of value and not merely insignificant or a trifle; and • the defendant's breach caused the plaintiff's injury, loss or damage, that is, there is a logical and legal link between the defendant's wrongdoing and the loss suffered by the plaintiff. It is essential that the plaintiff proves each of these elements on the balance of probabilities. If one item fails, the whole case fails. If the plaintiff can show that he or she has suffered damage, the court awards damages for that loss, damage or injury. It will do so by ascertaining a monetary figure that as near as possible equates to the loss.1021 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Book ChapterPublication Design, statistische und methodologische Überlegungen: KomorbiditätDie Erforschung von Krankheitskomorbidität und Symptomkoexistenz wirft mehrere Fragen in Bezug auf Studiendesign und analytische Techniken auf, die sorgfältig berücksichtigt werden müssen. In diesem Kapitel befassen wir uns zunächst mit methodischen Fragen, die für die Komorbiditätsforschung von besonderer Relevanz sind, einschließlich Symptomüberschneidungen und der daraus resultierenden doppelten Zählung von Symptomen, der Fallstricke und Vorteile der Entfernung von sich überschneidenden Skalenpunkten und des Nutzens der Erstellung von latenten Variablen oder „Symptomgruppen“. Anschließend diskutieren wir die Vor- und Nachteile der Verwendung verschiedener Studiendesigns im Kontext der Komorbiditätsforschung und geben Empfehlungen zur Maximierung der wissenschaftlichen Strenge statistischer Analysen und zur Sicherstellung der Einhaltung ethischer Standards. Schließlich heben wir analytische Techniken hervor, die relativ neu und/oder weniger häufig in Studien zur Komorbidität eingesetzt werden, und wie diese Techniken die Forschung in diesem Bereich voranbringen könnten.

Book ChapterPublication Developmental Genetics(CABI, 2011) ;Dyck, MichaelRuvinsky, AnatolyThe study of mammalian development has historically relied on morphological observations and the evaluation of developing offspring in utero. This painstaking work has resulted in detailed and meticulous descriptions of the events and structures that arise during this elegantly orchestrated process (Patten, 1948). The developmental genetics of the pig, as with many other mammals, was hindered for a long time owing to the tremendous complexity of development and the lack of appropriate methods. However, recent advances in molecular techniques and gene expression profiling have resulted in the generation of a vast amount of data concerning the genetics of mammalian development. A great deal of this work has been carried out in the mouse, but there are increasing amounts of information on the embryology and genetics of development in economically important agricultural species such as the pig. Drawing on this information, this chapter is intended to provide an overview of the current understanding of mammalian development as it relates to pigs.953 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Book ChapterPublication Disseminating ResearchThe aim of this chapter is to demystify the process of disseminating nursing and midwifery knowledge. It will present a discussion of writing for publication focusing on developing your understanding of how and where to publicise research findings and professional knowledge. The importance of disseminating research findings will be discussed. The barriers to publishing will be identified and strategies for overcoming them will be provided. Some approaches will be presented that will assist in maximising opportunities to publish or present research findings by targeting the right journal or conference. In addition, strategies for developing and preparing conference posters and presentations, journal manuscripts and project reports will also be outlined. Case study examples of Australian conference papers and journal articles will be used to demonstrate the process of turning research outcomes and/or clinical innovations into publications, reports, media releases and conference papers.2250 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Book ChapterPublication Diversity and Educational Environments(Pearson Education Australia, 2008) ;Ashman, AdrianMerrotsy, PeterAs you can see from the title, this chapter is about the environment in which teaching and learning occur: Where we are today in terms of the delivery of education is at least partly the result of historical developments and government responses to the needs of young people and reactions to the political pressures. The previous chapter provided a background to these influences. Here, we explore the context and the factors that lead to successful learning and problem-solving. In this chapter you will learn about: •some of the historical place-markers in the treatment and education of people with diverse learning needs; •how disability is defined; •the place of giftedness and talent in the presentation of diversity; •the importance of self-perception and identity in school systems around Australia; and •the teaching-learning ecology that governs successful learning outcomes.963
