Lessons learnt from horse-related human fatalities: Accident analysis using HFACS-Equestrianism by Meredith Chapman, Kate Fenner, Matthew J.W. Thomas

“…Many human-horse related injuries and fatalities are not examined in equestrianism for the purpose of developing safer future risk mitigation practice, often due to the philosophy that horse sport is simply dangerous.This study analysed data from the Australian National Coronial Information System (NCIS) relating to fatalities involving human-horse interaction that occurred between 2000 and 2020. …”

Banksia Ashbyi-engineered facile green synthesis of magnetite nanoparticles: Characterization, and determination of micro-strain, stress, and physical parameters by X-ray-based Wil... by Gérrard Eddy Jai Poinern, A F M Fahad Halim, Derek Fawcett, Peter Chapman, Rupam Sharma

“…Magnetite nanoparticles (MNPs) were synthesized by a straightforward one-step biogenic process using a leaf extract taken from the Australian indigenous plant Banksia ashbyi (BA). Several advanced characterization techniques, such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and Raman spectroscopy were used to investigate the physical and chemical properties of synthesized MNPs. …”

Elevated Serum Ceruloplasmin Levels Are Associated with Higher Impulsivity in People with Parkinson’s Disease by Megan C. Bakeberg, Maddeson Riley, Michelle Byrnes, Alexa Jefferson, Souyma Ghosh, Malcom K. Horne, Sarah McGregor, Rick Stell, Sue Walters, Tess Evans, Katherine Roberts, Frank L. Mastaglia, Ryan S. Anderton

“…The study measured serum ceruloplasmin and impulsivity using the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale (BIS-11) in an Australian cohort of 214 PwP. Multivariate general linear models (GLMs) were used to identify whether higher serum ceruloplasmin levels (>75th percentile) were significantly predictive of BIS-11 scores. …”

Accounting for Australia’s threatened species: Estimating historical and recent change in terrestrial habitat by Katherine M. Giljohann, Karel Mokany, Simon Ferrier, Thomas D. Harwood, Chris Ware, Kristen J. Williams

“…A systematic approach is therefore essential for regular and consistent measurement of threatened species habitat that can be applied across multiple scales.We present a new approach to track progress in providing habitat for threatened species over time and space, and apply it to the Australian continent. This involves: 1) estimating the historical (pre-intensification) habitat distribution for listed threatened species, and 2) deriving a metric of habitat provision for threatened species by combining the historical habitat distributions with remotely sensed annual ecosystem condition data. …”
