Abstract

Despite the initial hope inspired by the 2015 Paris Agreement, the world is now dangerously close to breaching its target of limiting global multiyear mean heating to 1·5°C. Annual mean surface temperature reached a record high of 1·45°C above the pre-industrial baseline in 2023, and new temperature highs were recorded throughout 2024. The resulting climatic extremes are increasingly claiming lives and livelihoods worldwide.

Abstract

Anti-atrazine and anti-mecoprop single chain antibody fragments (scAbs) were cloned from monoclonal cell lines and expressed in Escherichia coli. The anti-atrazine and anti-mecoprop scAbs showed the same specificity for atrazine and mecoprop respectively as the parental mAb, but showed a 2-3 fold increase in sensitivity for free atrazine. Antibody fragments against mecoprop and diuron were stabilised by the introduction of inter domain disulphide bonds and were capable of remaining more than 90% functional in 10% methanol and other harsh denaturing conditions. BIAcore analysis and competition ELISAs confirmed the stabilised antibodies (stAbs) bound to free pesticide with the same affinity and specificity as the scAb fragments. Lux marked bacteria were used to predict the toxicity of 7 pesticides over a range of concentrations in aqueous solutions and finally in aqueous and non aqueous fractions extracted from soil. The toxicity of pesticide mixtures was further investigated and synergistic interactions identified. Lux marked E. coli HB101 cells and 4 anti-pesticide stAbs were used as a tool-kit to measure firstly toxicity and secondly to quantify the pesticides present in both the aqueous and non aqueous fractions of soil. The E. coli HB101 biosensor was able to detect pesticides from soil at 10-100 times lower concentrations than would have had an effect in water, showing improved sensitivity. The pesticide concentration solvent extracted soil was analysed using either stab fragment in an indirect competition ELISA or by HPLC and in each case the results were almost identical. This toolkit combines the specificity of stAb antibodies, as a rapid and robust alternative to chemical analysis, with toxicity assessment of lux biosensors as a safety net to identity presence of unknown toxins and toxin mixtures in the field.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic triggered a migration of workforces to work from home. A key issue for academics was the implications for the ability to carve out ‘thinking time’ to engage in what we term sustained knowledge work, the type of work essential for producing research. We administered an employee survey to academics from seven Australian and seven Canadian Universities, receiving over 3000 responses. We report on both quantitative and qualitative findings from the survey, with a particular emphasis on the latter. The two countries displayed broadly similar patterns in responses, but these patterns were gendered in specific ways. We distinguished between episodic and sustained knowledge work and found the shift of the location for sustained knowledge work from the workplace to the home affected academics unevenly, with disproportionate negative impacts on women. There are implications for all knowledge workers: while gendered, domestic norms continue to exist, the sustained knowledge work that is critical to career advancement can become especially problematic for women knowledge workers.

Abstract

To determine the extent of exposure to Zika virus (ZIKV) and chikungunya virus (CHIKV) in Jamaica, we collected serum from 584 pregnant women during 2017-2019. We found that 15.6% had antibodies against ZIKV and 83.6% against CHIKV. These results indicate potential recirculation of ZIKV but not CHIKV in the near future.

Abstract

In recent years a new type of teaching-focused academic position has emerged in the university system, the ‘Scholarly Teaching Fellow’ (STF). These continuing positions are designed to replace casual teachers, and to enable a more ‘sustained’ engagement with scholarship as required under Commonwealth higher education standards. There has been agrowing reliance on casual academics to deliver university courses, and the rise of the ‘gig’ academic has undermined scholarship as well as job security. In 2012 the sector’s lead trade union, the National Tertiary Education Union (NTEU), proposed a novel approach to extend teaching capacity and provide job security for a portion of the estimated 50,000 casual university teaching staff. By creating a career path for the casual academics who currently perform the bulk of face-to-face teaching in Australian universities, it was envisaged that not only would casual academics benefit from enhanced job security, but that the employment ofmore continuing staff would improve teaching and learning and enhance the student experience. Between 2012 and 2015, industrial agreements negotiated between the NTEU and the majority of the sector’s universities led to a commitment to create 850 positions for a new type of academic role: the Scholarly Teaching Fellow (STF). Around 800 of these positions had been created by August 2018. This research, funded as a ‘Strategic Project’ by the former Office of Learning and Teaching, examined the introduction of STFs into the Australian university system between 2013and 2016. The project explored the impact of this new category of employment in Australian universities on the organisation and future prospects of academic work.

Abstract

BackgroundImpaired left ventricular diastolic filling is common in chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH), and recent studies support left ventricular underfilling as a cause. To investigate this further, we assessed left atrial volume index (LAVI) in patients with CTEPH before and after pulmonary thromboendarterectomy (PTE).MethodsForty-eight consecutive CTEPH patients had pre- & post-PTE echocardiograms and right heart catheterizations. Parameters included mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP), pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR), cardiac index, LAVI, & mitral E/A ratio. Echocardiograms were performed 6 ± 3 days pre-PTE and 10 ± 4 days post-PTE. Regression analyses compared pre- and post-PTE LAVI with other parameters.ResultsPre-op LAVI (mean 19.0 ± 7 mL/m2) correlated significantly with pre-op PVR (R = -0.45, p = 0.001), mPAP (R = -0.28, p = 0.05) and cardiac index (R = 0.38, p = 0.006). Post-PTE, LAVI increased by 18% to 22.4 ± 7 mL/m2 (p = 0.003). This change correlated with change in PVR (765 to 311 dyne-s/cm5, p = 0.01), cardiac index (2.6 to 3.2 L/min/m2, p = 0.02), and E/A (.95 to 1.44, p = 0.002).ConclusionIn CTEPH, smaller LAVI is associated with lower cardiac output, higher mPAP, and higher PVR. LAVI increases by ~20% after PTE, and this change correlates with changes in PVR and mitral E/A. The rapid increase in LAVI supports the concept that left ventricular diastolic impairment and low E/A pre-PTE are due to left heart underfilling rather than inherent left ventricular diastolic dysfunction.

Abstract

Diversity management is recognised as a major challenge for organizations throughout the world. There is broad acceptance that when it comes to all aspects of workforce management major differences exist among individuals in terms of age, gender, national origin, physical capability, sexuality, religion and others. This chapter discusses the concept, meaning and application of managing that difference or ‘diversity’ through programs known as diversity management. It identifies and discusses the different contextual and theoretical approaches that frame diversity programs found in organizations today. A number of programs within different country contexts are examined. The discussion examines the challenges of diversity management its programs and its outcomes with a view to understanding the lessons learned and recommending future directions.

13. Equity in the twenty-first century workplace

Abstract

Issues of equity and inequity have always been part of employment relations and are a fundamental part of the industrial landscape. For example, in most countries in the nineteenth century and a large part of the twentieth century women and members of ethnic groups (often a minority in the workforce) were barred from certain occupations, industries or work locations, and received less pay than the dominant male ethnic group for the same work. In recent decades attention has been focused on issues of equity between groups, predominantly women and different ethnic groups in the workforce. This has been embodied in industrial legislation, for example in equal pay for women and men, and frequently in specific equity legislation. In this way a whole new area of law and associated workplace practice has developed in many countries. Historically, employment relations and industrial relations research has not examined employment issues disaggregated by gender or ethnic group. Born out of concern with conflict and regulation at the workplace, studies tended to concentrate on white, male, unionized workers in manufacturing and heavy industry (Ackers, 2002, p. 4). The influential systems model crafted by Dunlop (1958) gave rise to The discipline’s preoccupation with the ‘problem of order’ [which] ensures the invisibility of women, not only because women have generally been less successful in mobilizing around their own needs and discontents, but more profoundly because this approach identifies the employment relationship as the...
