Tasmaniassa moni asia on toisin
2021
Kansainvälisyys on ollut yliopistollisia iskusanoja 2000-luvun alusta lähtien. Pestejä maailmalle ja artikkeleita englanniksi. Toinen kaista on tukossa: maailmalle ei käytännössä pääse. Kun ajat entiset palaavat jossakin muodossa, niin on hyvä muistaa, että maailmalle lähteminen kysyy joustavuutta. nonPeerReviewed
Il paesaggio e la nazione plurale: The Adventures of Priscilla Queen of the Desert
2021
The article is part of the volume Configurazioni e trasfigurazioni. Discorsi sul paesaggio mediato. The book asks to question the relationship between the landscape and its worlds (literary, cinematographic, virtual). The fundamental question of the article is how one can grasp the sense of the landscape of the Australian film The Adventures of Priscilla Queen of the Desert (1994). Therefore, analyzing the famous film, the essay wants to correlate the sense of the landscape and the idea of nation. The landscape as a symbol is the frame of reference that will be examined, in particular the line of thought that imagines the landscape as the mental construction of a subject. In this way it wil…
Terra Incognita Australis de Foigny. El descubrimiento de una nueva tierra, el desarrollo de la novela
2019
Desde finales del siglo xv al xvii, viajeros de diferentes países europeos intentaron llegar a un continente austral desconocido, supuestamente situado en algún lugar entre las tierras africanas y americanas. Una de las narraciones más populares sobre este continente en Inglaterra a finales del siglo xvii fue A New Discovery of Terra Incognita Australis, or the Southern World, de Gabriel de Foigny, publicada en 1693 por John Dunton y, de hecho, una traducción de la versión francesa de 1692. Aunque esta obra de la novela inglesa temprana es citada por varios estudiosos, se ha realizado poco trabajo crítico sobre la versión inglesa. En consecuencia, el objetivo de este artículo es sacar a la …

Monitoring a meat-free pledge with smartphones:An experimental study
2020
Pledges are a popular strategy to encourage meat reduction, though experimental studies of their efficacy are lacking. Three-hundred and twenty-five participants from three different countries (UK, Germany, Australia) were randomly assigned to pledge 28 days meat-free or not, and their behavior was tracked via smartphones. Participants answered daily surveys regarding their eating behavior, meat cravings, and shared photos of their meals. Baseline data was collected prior to the pledge, after the 28 days, and one-month post-intervention. Participants assigned to the pledge condition ate less meat across the 28 days, compared to control participants. Meat reductions, observed at outtake, did…
The seroepidemiology of pertussis in Australia during an epidemic period
2006
Studying the epidemiology of pertussis and impact of differing vaccine schedules is difficult because of differing methods of case ascertainment. The advent of internationally standardized serological diagnosis for recent infection has allowed comparison of age-specific pertussis infection among European countries and was applied in Australia at the time of a major national epidemic. In 1997 and 1998, a nationally representative serum bank using residual sera from diagnostic laboratories was established. Measurement of pertussis toxin (PT) IgG level was conducted by a reference laboratory using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay standardized for a number of European countries. A titre of …

Drug-Induced Liver Injury Associated With Antidepressive Psychopharmacotherapy: An Explorative Assessment Based on Quantitative Signal Detection Usin…
2015
Drug-induced liver injury is a major problem of pharmacotherapy and is also frequent with antidepressive psychopharmacotherapy. However, there are only few studies using a consistent methodologic approach to study hepatotoxicity of a larger group of antidepress ants. We performed a quantitative signal detection analysis using data from the Uppsala Monitoring Centre from the WHO that records adverse drug reaction (ADR) data from worldwide sources; we retrieved substance- and country-specific (Australia, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the United States) ADR data and calculated reporting odds ratios as measures for disproportionality within a case/noncase approach. To a…
Improving Hand Hygiene Behavior Using a Novel Theory-Based Intervention During the COVID-19 Pandemic
2022
Abstract Background Promoting the adoption of personal hygiene behaviors known to reduce the transmission of COVID-19, such as avoiding touching one’s face with unwashed hands, is important for limiting the spread of infections. Purpose We aimed to test the efficacy of a theory-based intervention to promote the avoidance of touching one’s face with unwashed hands to reduce the spread of COVID-19. Methods We tested effects of an intervention employing imagery, persuasive communication, and planning techniques in two pre-registered studies adopting randomized controlled designs in samples of Australian (N = 254; Study 1) and US (N = 245; Study 2) residents. Participants were randomly assigned…
