Like much of the industrialised world, Australia's population is ageing, the implications of which are twofold: increasing demand for publicly funded services and a decline in the supply of prime working‐age people. In grappling with the challenges of a diminishing workforce, the Australian Government is currently relying on its migration programs to provide both the much‐needed labour and skills for the resource boom and also to stimulate the economy through population growth. However, there may be another, not yet fully considered solution to the upcoming demographic problem. This paper investigates how the grandchildren of the baby boomers, termed here the Thank God You're Here generation (Gen TGYH), might impact on Australia's predicted workforce shortage. This generation of workers will enter the labour force as the last of the baby boomers reach retirement age, and will not only be bigger in size than preceding generations (Y, X and Baby Boomers), but also potentially be better educated than the retiring generation. This paper will also canvas the opportunities for both Gen TGYH and employers as well as the challenges for policymakers and governments in maximising the opportunity provided by this generation in the Australian economy. 相似文献

The operating microscopes may be a significant cause of fatigue and discomfort in surgeons. The need for the microscope to be placed over the operating field forces surgeons to remain at the microscope's eyepieces at an uncomfortable posture for the entirety of the surgery. This study compared the effects on microsurgical task performance for four visualization methods: a monocular microscope, a binocular microscope, a three-dimensional (3D) flat-panel television display and a two-dimensional (2D) flat-panel television display. Eleven subjects each performed two microsurgical tasks and their performance was documented by video camera. The statistical analysis performed indicated utilization of the microscope as a visualization method increased subject performance. No significant difference in performance between the 2D and stereoscopic visualization methods. 相似文献

The current paper explores recent changes in food insecurity among adolescents and determine if food security concerns are associated with poorer wellbeing. Data were collected as part of two nationally representative surveys of the health and wellbeing of high-school students in New Zealand in 2007 and 2012. In 2012, 11% of young people reported food security concerns often or always, with 33% reporting food security concerns occasionally/sometimes. The prevalence of food security concerns at both frequencies increased significantly from 2007 (8% and 28%, respectively). Young people with food security concerns were more likely to report poor indicators of health and wellbeing, including truancy, poor general health, mental health concerns and obesity. Our findings highlight the growing concerns of food insecurity reported by adolescents in New Zealand. Interventions that address food security for families may provide a tangible means of promoting the healthy development of children and young people. 相似文献

对话式阅读由美国学者Grover.J. Whitehurst于1988年提出,是一种具有PEER互动原则及CROWD提示技巧的共读方式,被广泛应用于国外以及国内台湾地区的幼教领域,并且实施效果显著。所以本研究针对近20年国内外有关幼儿对话式阅读的30篇中文文献及106篇英文文献进行综述。研究发现,大陆地区的相关研究在研究对象、方法与内容方面比国外与台湾地区单一,并且相关研究从整体上呈现国外比国内深入,台湾地区比大陆地区深入的状态。拓展研究对象与研究方法是未来研究的重要发展方向,应当使对话式阅读能够真正运用在亲子共读与师幼共读当中。 相似文献

This paper reconsiders Judith Kestenberg's classic work Outside and Inside, Male and Female in the light of subsequent work on gender identity and psycho-sexual development. Kestenberg argued that the fear of internal genital sensations was common to both men and women and an obstacle to sexual development. An understanding of the fears and phantasies men and women have about their bodies which they project onto each other is an important aspect of therapeutic work, which the author believes does not receive adequate attention. Through two case examples she shows where Kestenberg's theory is still valid and where it needs to be revised. While Kestenberg could assume a normative heterosexuality, the author suggests we must now reexamine our theories in the light of challenges presented by homosexuality, bisexuality and transexuality. 相似文献

The Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (CBI) is a public domain questionnaire measuring the degree of physical and psychological
fatigue experienced in three sub-dimensions of burnout: personal, work-related, and client-related burnout. This study first
examines the reliability and validity of the CBI in measuring burnout in New Zealand secondary school teachers, and then the
relationship between burnout and wellbeing among this population. The CBI had acceptable reliability (internal consistency
and homogeneity) as well as factorial and criterion-related validity. As expected, burnout was negatively related to wellbeing
measures (wellbeing index, school connection, and perceived general health). The findings indicate that this burnout questionnaire
is a valid instrument to use with New Zealand secondary teachers, and also highlight the potential impact of burnout on the
health and wellbeing of teachers.

Time dependence is an important characteristic of mineral processing plant data. This paper finds that the time dependence in the recovery data for an experiment at Bougainville Copper Limited (BCL) (Napier-Munn, 1995) can be described by an autoregressive-one process. The paper investigates the optimum form of experimental design for such data. Two intuitive approaches for the design of experiments involving time-dependent data have been disproved recently. Cheng & Steinberg (1991) showed that in some circumstances systematic experiments are preferable to replicated randomized block designs, and Saunders & Eccleston (1992) showed that rather than sampling at a frequency which ensures independent data, in some circumstances sampling intervals should be as small as possible. A third issue, raised in this paper, concerns the use of standard statistical tests when the data are serially correlated. It is shown that the simple paired t -test, suitably modified for time dependence, is appropriate and easily adapted to allow for a covariate and a sequential analysis. The results are illustrated using the BCL data and are already being used to design major experiments involving another mineral process. 相似文献

The Importance of Governance Levels in Alternative Food Networks: The Case of Red Meat Inspection Rules

Focusing on U.S. red meat inspection regulations, in the context of alternative food networks (AFNs), we explore the implications of different levels of governmental governance for the number of red meat slaughter establishments in the United States. We argue that disaggregating “the state” makes possible a more nuanced consideration of the effects of different tiers of governance. We use regression analysis with data for 40 U.S. states over 40 years to examine the effects of state (subnational) inspection programs and implementation of the federal Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) regulations on the number of slaughter establishments by type. In this analysis we test two common beliefs among AFN actors: that state inspection helps, and HACCP hurts, small slaughter establishments. It also allows us to make a case for disaggregating governance tiers as we find that state inspection programs and HACCP have significant and opposite effects on the number of federally and non–federally inspected slaughter establishments. Our analysis supports the belief that state inspection is important to small slaughter establishments, but does not support the belief that HACCP has had a negative effect on them. Our conclusion is that agrifood scholars need to pay attention to different forms of governmental governance even with the increased focus on private and third‐party certifications. 相似文献

Summary. This paper analyses levels of low literacy across 12 countries by using the International Adult Literacy Survey. We go beyond existing work that only looks at the proportions below certain critical levels of literacy. Using methods developed for the measurement of poverty we calculate measures of literacy that are sensitive to the distribution of literacy within those defined as illiterate. This reveals a different pattern of the extent of literacy problems across countries and within some populations. These measures should be useful to policy makers who need to allocate resources to alleviate low literacy and numeracy. 相似文献
