This paper discusses the importance of understanding the health issues facing urban Aboriginal Australians from a sociological perspective. It draws on a study by Thompson & Gifford (2000) that used an ethnological and epidemiological approach to examine dietary influences and disease susceptibility in Aboriginal communities. The study found that an ethnographic approach is needed to gain a holistic understanding of these health issues from the community's perspective. It also determined that strong family, social, and community connections help protect Aboriginal people from disease, and that these cultural factors must be considered in health interventions. The paper argues for including Aboriginal community representatives in all aspects of research to ensure culturally appropriate solutions.

- Internet and mobile phone usage among Australian children has increased dramatically from 1998-2009, with over 70% of households having internet access by 2009 and 31% of children aged 5-14 having their own mobile phone.
- Cyberbullying is defined as "deliberate, repeated, and hostile behavior by an individual or group intended to harm others" through digital technologies.
- The objective of the health promotion project was to create a media package to educate young women on safe usage of emerging technologies and prevent cyberbullying, through establishing an advisory group of Year 9 students over 10 weeks.
This document outlines three presentations on media and violence taking place at Concurrent Session 4. The first presentation analyzes print media reporting on deaths related to domestic violence. The second examines the impact of sexualized media images on the mental health of aging women. The third discusses being savvy when interacting online.
The document discusses the enhanced role of women's health nurse practitioners Lorna Scott and Carolyn Enks in rural Australia. It provides background on their roles since 1986/1991 and authorization as nurse practitioners in 2001/2005. The nurse practitioners see over 1,000 rural women annually based on guidelines for common women's health issues. Between 2008-2009, clinic visits increased by 20% while management based on nurse practitioner guidelines increased by 30%. The conclusion states that the extended practice of nurse practitioners improves primary health care outcomes for rural women.
This document summarizes community health initiatives in 5 South Australian communities aimed at empowering women. It discusses how local consultation and partnerships were used to identify priorities and develop action plans. Some key initiatives discussed include an enrolled nursing cadetship program in Riverland, a women's coordinator and sewing group on Yorke Peninsula, and establishing a women's place in Oak Valley. It also describes a well women's health program developed in Coober Pedy that provided holistic health services and screenings. The conclusion emphasizes that the programs were locally led, built community empowerment and resilience, and involved cross-sector partnerships.
This document summarizes a presentation on a program called Sustainable Farm Families (SFF) that aims to improve the health and wellbeing of farming families, including women. The SFF program delivers health education directly to farms and recognizes that health is influenced by where people live and work. Evaluation found that over two years, the program helped reduce several health risk factors among participating women, including BMI, cholesterol, blood glucose, and blood pressure. Women reported improved empowerment and the majority felt the program was valuable in addressing priorities like farm safety, fitness, stress management, and health follow-up. The results suggest the SFF program is an effective way to engage farming families and communities in improving health.
This document discusses the isolation experienced by rural lesbians and ways to respond to their needs. It notes that over 1/3 of Australians view lesbianism negatively. For rural lesbians, the closet provides protection from prejudice but also isolation. Individual isolation is exacerbated by stigma, fear of discovery, and reduced support. Health practitioners should recognize lesbianism as a culture and institutions should treat all couples equally. The document calls for responses to address the isolation of rural lesbians.
This document outlines the schedule for Concurrent Session 4.5 of a conference on rural issues and approaches. The session is chaired by Patty Kinnersly and consists of 6 presentations on topics related to women's health in rural communities, including the health needs of refugee women, the isolation of rural lesbians, health and safety issues for farm women, stories of Aboriginal women in remote areas, enhancing roles to improve outcomes for rural women, and a gender-based service from the Royal Flying Doctor Service.

Your smile is beautiful.
Let’s be honest. Maintaining that beautiful smile is not an easy task. It is more than brushing and flossing. Sometimes, you might encounter dental issues that need special dental care. These issues can range anywhere from misalignment of the jaw to pain in the root of teeth.
The biomechanics of running involves the study of the mechanical principles underlying running movements. It includes the analysis of the running gait cycle, which consists of the stance phase (foot contact to push-off) and the swing phase (foot lift-off to next contact). Key aspects include kinematics (joint angles and movements, stride length and frequency) and kinetics (forces involved in running, including ground reaction and muscle forces). Understanding these factors helps in improving running performance, optimizing technique, and preventing injuries.

PGx Analysis in VarSeq: A User’s PerspectiveGolden Helix
Since our release of the PGx capabilities in VarSeq, we’ve had a few months to gather some insights from various use cases. Some users approach PGx workflows by means of array genotyping or what seems to be a growing trend of adding the star allele calling to the existing NGS pipeline for whole genome data. Luckily, both approaches are supported with the VarSeq software platform. The genotyping method being used will also dictate what the scope of the tertiary analysis will be. For example, are your PGx reports a standalone pipeline or would your lab’s goal be to handle a dual-purpose workflow and report on PGx + Diagnostic findings.
The purpose of this webcast is to:
Discuss and demonstrate the approaches with array and NGS genotyping methods for star allele calling to prep for downstream analysis.
Following genotyping, explore alternative tertiary workflow concepts in VarSeq to handle PGx reporting.
Moreover, we will include insights users will need to consider when validating their PGx workflow for all possible star alleles and options you have for automating your PGx analysis for large number of samples. Please join us for a session dedicated to the application of star allele genotyping and subsequent PGx workflows in our VarSeq software.
