Publication Book review: 'Aesthetics and Rock Art III Symposium: Proceedings of the XV UISPP World Congress' by Thomas Heyd & John Clegg (eds)John Clegg sums up the papers published in the volume he co-edited with Thomas Heyd as an 'eclectic mooting of experts'. It is indeed a catholic collection of rock art papers – 11 in all – by Australian and international authors, enriched with perceptions borrowed from disciplines such as psychology and philosophy. While all were presented under the framework of aesthetics in rock art,the varied approaches evident in the papers demonstrates the broad scope of this topic as conceived by the contributors. Such approaches contrast with more literal interpretations of the term that define and limit the concept of aesthetics to the study of the effect of the physical properties of objects on the senses and the qualitative evaluation of those properties, or simply to a Eurocentric evaluation of skill or beauty.2285 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Publication Case Comment: Eldred v. Ashcroft(Omega Communications, 2003)Forrest, HeatherArticle 1, Section 8, Clause 8 gives Congress the power "to promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries." Courts throughout American history have referred to this passage to justify their decisions to grant or deny protection to a particular invention or work of original expression. The January 15, 2003 decision of the United States Supreme Court in Eldred v. Ashcroft reinforces and relies upon this fundamental grant of authority. Critics argue that the decision fails to consider the economic implications of a retroactive application of the twenty year extension of copyright term granted under the 1998 Copyright Term Extension Act. The truth is, the majority's decision does fail to take such economic considerations into account, and rightfully so.2132 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Publication Open AccessReviewHistorical development of the statistical classification of causes of death and diseasesThis paper offers an historical overview of international mortality/healthcare classification systems, covering developments from the International List of Causes of Death (ILCD) through to the International Classification of Diseases (ICD). The ICD is a global data system established to classify diseases and mortality causes. The past few decades have seen a dramatic increase in use of the ICD, paralleling its improved efficiency and integration into the health information management (HIM) arena. The ICD, published by the World Health Organization (WHO) since 1984, is the successor to ICLD-5 and assigns codes to every health diagnosis. The 10th revision of the WHO International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD-10-CM) is the latest version, and the 11th is currently under development. A clinical classification and coding schedule is essential for improving and refining clinical data systems in numerous ways, including treatment selection, cause-of-death reporting, eligibility selection, the facilitation of health insurance claims, data storage, health service evaluation, health policy, the management of epidemiological diseases, resource allocation and the reduction of potential costs. All these contribute to proper development and planning within healthcare services. ICD has become the universal standard.1432 559 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Publication Open AccessReviewThe impact of feed treatment on the performance of broilers: A reviewCommonly used treatments of poultry feed, such as pelleting, expanding or extrusion increase the physical density of the feed and lead to increased feed intake, reduced time spent feeding, improved growth rate and improved feed to gain ratio. Subsequently, improved feed conversion and better performance can often be observed when feeding processed diets compared to mash. Other benefts of thermal treatment include the ease of handling the fnished product, improved hygienic status of the feed, and reduced anti-nutritional factors. Besides the mechanic forces of processing, feed is also exposed to heat and steam as conditioning procedures. The amount and duration of heat and moisture applied while processing feed can have a signifcant effect on the availability of crude protein, amino acids, starch, fat, vitamins and feed additives. The effectiveness of feed processing on nutrient digestibility is also determined by the ingredients and their thermolability. There is a tradeoff between the control of feed borne diseases and digestibility of nutrients. Treat ment conditions which reliably reduce harmful micro-organisms may have an adverse effect on digestibility and performance. Short time exposure of the feed to high temperature improves the hygienic status of the feed with limited impact on nutrient digestibility.2428 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Publication Musica Viva concert Thursday 2nd November 2023 - Taikoz, Side By SideThe author was invited to provide a concert review of Taikoz's Side By Side performance in November 2023 at Lazenby Hall, the University of New England which was touring with the National Musica Viva concert series. Artistic director, Ian Cleworth describes their new Side By Side program as a response to the pandemic through 'an emotional and intimate exploration of shared human experience: our hopes, anxieties, contentment, and desires'. Based on the Hachijō-style of taiko playing, Side By Side takes on further meanings in this program, including the two-player method of playing a single drum, where one provides the underlying beat and the other builds on this rhythmical foundation with unique and improvised rhythms. This collaborative and improvisatory ingenuity was displayed throughout.

Publication Open AccessReviewNavigating around the Chinese hegemonHow a rising China will integrate itself with the global economic and political order is a salient issue in world politics. On the one hand, China's rejection of the South China Sea arbitration, its efforts to isolate Taiwan internationally and its willingness to work with controversial leadership in developing states indicate a more assertive 'China First' foreign policy. On the other hand, a review of a range of foreign policies suggests that Chinese policymakers have internalised a set of international norms in some areas even as the Chinese state has vigorously pursued unilateral foreign policy objectives.984 5 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Publication Propagation, diffusion and free boundariesIn this short review, we describe some recent developments on the modelling of propagation by nonlinear partial differential equations, which involve local as well as nonlocal diffusion, and free boundaries. After a brief account of the classical works of Fisher, Kolmogorov–Petrovski–Piskunov (KPP), Skallem and Aronson-Weinberger, on the use of reaction-diffusion equations to model propagation and spreading speed, various models involving a free boundary are considered, which have the advantage of providing a clear spreading front over the classical models, apart from giving a spreading speed. These include nonlinear Stefan problems, the porous medium equation with a nonlinear source term, and nonlocal versions of the nonlinear Stefan problems in space dimension 1. The results selected here are mainly from recent works of the author and his collaborators, and care is taken to make the content accessible to readers who are not necessarily specialists in the area of the considered topics.1055 4 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Publication Open AccessReviewRejoinder to Rural Transformations and Rural Crime Book Review published in Rural Society (Vol. 32, Iss. 3)A review of a book we edited, Rural Transformations and Rural Crime (Bowden & Harkness, 2022) was published in Volume 32, Issue 3 of Rural Society (Scott, 2023) in December 2023. The review makes two key but highly misleading charges. The first is an intimation that rural criminology is dominated by a clique of scholars" and second that the book by and large lacks critical analysis to the reviewer's liking. The reviewer provides a glimpse of a broad analysis of the field and adopts an independently minded position. Indeed, some observations and claims are made that should rightly be part of a wider debate in criminology, about the book's relevance, and its impact and contribution to the social sciences: legitimate and important questions that ought to be addressed. However, a few errors in the review need to be corrected and cannot go unchallenged.

Publication Report on the Armed Forces Law Association of New Zealand Conference: 28-30 August 2009, Wellington NZThe Armed Forces Law Association of New Zealand has again staged a highly successful conference, which built upon the success of the 2008 conference in Christchurch. The theme of the conference was Human Rights and the Military. This attracted a wide range of speakers from the Netherlands, Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Germany, New Zealand and Australia. The first keynote address from Anthony Cleland-Welch OBE set the scene through a personal perspective of the British experience of human rights in military operations over recent decades. The first day then had a focus upon operational issues with a number of papers discussing the interaction between international humanitarian law and human rights - particularly with respect to extra territoriality, detention, targeting in Afghanistan and also the European Convention on Human Rights. Other papers addressed piracy, insurgency, gender issues in peacekeeping operations, command responsibility and cluster munitions. A highlight was the lunchtime address by Greens MP Dr Kennedy Graham on the International Non-Aggression and Lawful Use of Force Bill currently before the New Zealand Parliament. Brigadier Kevin Riordan NZDF and Captain Rob McLaughlin RAN closed the day with presentations on current operations and legal issues in the NZDF and ADF respectively.2292 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Publication Review of 'Hidden hands and divided landscapes: a penal history of Singapore's plural history' Author: Anoma PieriesThere has been a growing body of literature that, by using postcolonial conceptual frameworks, has attempted to deconstruct and reinterpret forces that have shaped urbanism of colonial cities. Extending this interest further, Pieries presents an alternative analysis of Singapore's evolution from a penal settlement in the Straits Settlements through to a global city that continues to thrive on a plural society and a "polyglot environment" (p 220). Unlike singular or binary interpretations common to most postcolonial studies (such as the colonized and colonizing), she conceptualizes the history of urbanism in Singapore as a dialogic encounter – an engagement of different ethnic groups and the racialised convict labor resulting from penal policies and their articulation of the social and the spatial along a temporal scale.2175 1 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Publication Review of 'Religious Faith and Intellectual Virtue'. Edited by Laura Frances Callahan and Timothy O'Connor. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2014. xii + 334 pp. £45.00Is intellectual virtue an obstacle to religious faith? The papers in this fine collection answer this question either directly or indirectly. The editors, Laura Callahan and Timothy O’Connor, are to be congratulated on requesting, and receiving, from the authors accessible papers that cover many of the relevant issues. In addition they have provided a clear introduction and useful summaries. In this review, I first consider the way the editors explicate the question. Then I examine the authors' answers. Finally I draw some conclusions from the various papers.2261 1 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Publication Sydney writers at Festival timeThe vestibule of the Sydney Town Hall might at first seem a strange place to spend four preciously long January afternoons in the height of a Sydney summer. Far from the golden haze of Sydney's beaches, dominated by a festively lit chandelier of monstrous proportions and smothered in ornamental detailing, that grand room proved a most sympathetic, informal and convenient venue for the staging of the second "Writers' Week" at the Sydney Festival. In view of this year's success the writers' festival looks like becoming an annual event. It was so well attended that the entire show was forced to move from the vestibule to the main concert hall - Centennial Hall for the historically-minded - for the final Sunday sessions. This Town Hall of ours, built in the high summer of Sydney's Victorian age, was also a grand venue for the launching of The View from Tinsel Town, an anthology of pieces based on the proceedings of last year's festival. Tinsel Town, the book, bears both the Penguin logo and Southerly a cherubic Auster, was edited by "Writers' Week" organizer, Tom Thompson (of the N.S.W. Committee of the National Book Council), and was officially launched by Thomas Keneally on the final day of the festivities.1104 1
