Expansion of the mouse cumulus-oocyte complex (COC) is dependent on oocyte-secreted paracrine factors. Transforming growth factor beta (TGFB) superfamily molecules are prime candidates for cumulus expansion-enabling factors (CEEFs), and we have recently determined that differentiation 9 (GDF9) alone not CEEF. The aim this study was to examine oocyte their signaling pathways regulate expansion. Using RT-PCR, oocytes were found express two activin subunits, Inhba Inhbb, A B both enabled...
Despite the well-known benefits of omega-3 (n-3) polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) supplementation on human health, relatively little is known about effect n-3 PUFA intake fertility. More specifically, aim this study was to determine how oocyte and preimplantation embryo development might be influenced by supply understand possible mechanisms underlying these effects. Adult female mice were fed a control diet or high in long-chain PUFAs for 4 wk, ovulated oocytes zygotes collected after...
Oocyte-secreted factors are required for expansion of the mouse cumulus-oocyte complex, which is necessary ovulation. growth differentiation factor 9 (GDF9) signals through bone morphogenetic protein receptor II and currently primary candidate molecule cumulus-expansion enabling factor. This study was conducted to determine whether GDF9 Cumulus-oocyte complexes were collected from mice, oocyte microsurgically removed generate an oocytectomized (OOX) complex. OOX treated with FSH alone or...
The cell proliferation of pre-implanted mouse embryos was investigated after development in vivo and vitro. studies were started at the pronuclear stage, 2 h post conception (p.c.) continued until hatching blastocysts, 120-144 p.c. number nuclei, DNA content each nucleus, mitotic index labelling determined. From these data it possible to calculate length generation cycle its various phases. With exception first S-phase constant. G1- as well G2-phase varied during different cycles. 31-72...
Global neoliberalism is allowing manifold social inequalities to intensify under the 'fair' and neutral language of market. On eve International Women's Day 2017, statue Fearless Girl was installed facing Wall Street's iconic Charging Bull, drawing attention ongoing gendered nature these dynamics. Similar relations are transforming field higher education giving us pause question implications for academic women. Using as provocation, we critically consider our positionality women involved in...
Abstract This collaborative paper by members of the Pedagogies for Social Justice Research Group responds to question how curriculum and pedagogy can be with democracy. Our introduction takes Alice Rigney’s Dewey’s insights on education democracy as our point departure learning together. As a collective, we have gathered together multiple ways perceiving enacting in context de-democratisation. We approach tensions, intersections, limits possibilities from frames ‘woven’ critical Indigenous...
AbstractDistinct from rurality, the Australian desert has long functioned as a signifier of remoteness in dominant imagination; product spatialised binary relations between 'progressive' (white) mainstream or idealised white countryside, and disordered/dangerous Aboriginal periphery. Remoteness constitutes complex racial dynamic that historically mediated teachers' missionaries' desires to travel social margins. This article adopts discursive understanding examine contemporary decisions work...
This paper contributes to international scholarship on racial literacy in teacher education. Specifically, we consider filmic counter stories as bodies that carry an affective charge with the potential ignite dialogic and embodied/emotional learning. The football documentary Final Quarter is our case study. film traces racially explosive final years of First Nations Australian, Adam Goodes' elite playing career. floodlights a site for public pedagogy where people learn racism, offering means...
Religious bigotry, including incidents of discrimination and violence based on religion, continues to rise across Australia. Religion is consequently considered a destabilising factor in Australia's commitment diversity. But does religious diversity pose threat social cohesion or an opportunity? In public schools, despite significant curricular pedagogical advances the areas equity inclusion, it remains unclear how what extent educators support diverse identities learners. Informed by...
In the field of preventing and countering violent extremism (P/CVE) schools have an important role to play, but precisely how policy actors educators should best respond within their remains uncertain. Reporting on data from a broader study, this article draws semi-structured interviews with three participants. The participants were working as intermediaries responsible for implementing federally funded, small-scale grant develop program in four Australian intended guard against student...
This paper considers a social justice teacher education (SJTE) course that is intellectually and emotionally demanding, time-poor, yet aimed at generating relations of reparative coexistence. Interspersed with feminist testimony, the article exposes intensities facilitation as female academic sandstone university amidst: 1) worldwide rise in 'anti-woke' populism, 2) higher (HE) sector epistemically hostile. Combining concepts affective infrastructure discomfort, develops genealogy Australian...
This paper develops out of research concerning the place white teachers and social constructions ‘white good’ in South Australia’s Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (APY) lands.

Once implemented, should retention completion rates give 'traditional' 'non-traditional' student...
Countering violent extremism (CVE) continues to be a topic of national and international concern as well media interest. In the field CVE, educational institutions have an important role play, but precisely how educators policymakers should best respond within schools remains unclear. This article draws on interviews with multiple stakeholders implementing small‐scale nationally funded grant in Australian guard against behaviours leading through developing restorative justice (RJ) practices....
This pilot study investigated the reliability of an inclinometer to assess lumbar spine angle in three different cycling positions, and explored relationship between riding position, anthropometry, bike measures low back pain (LBP). Cyclists were recruited from two cycle clubs. Anthropometric variables set-up measured before participants’ bikes secured a wind trainer. then adopted positions for riding, upright on handlebars, brake levers drops, according random allocation. The was measured,...
This paper focuses on an Australian university short-term study abroad programme in India part-funded by the Government New Colombo Plan – initiative that facilitates transformative people-to-people encounters. Our chief interest is extending our reach, through photo diaries and interviews, to understand how participants' experiences are transformative, their knowledge production practices contribute towards constructions of global citizenship, where opportunities shape future learning may...
Schools worldwide are increasingly enmeshed in discourses of securitisation. Efforts to prevent or counter violent extremism (P/CVE) a manifestation this. P/CVE education takes various forms; the pilot explored here is considered super-soft that no mention was made extremism. Attention given schools' capacities enhance social cohesion through Restorative Practices (RP) – method for building capital. We use an affective-discursive lens explore how affects/emotions caught dispositif governance...
Research suggests that the use of Restorative Practice (RP) in schools can foster more positive and inclusive school communities, yet there remains limited research regarding how to embed such practices. As part a wider study, we present data from leaders who describe their perspectives on RP struggles with implementing it one rural Australian community school. This is distinctive because adopted approach an effort change both culture community. To better inform our understanding was...
