Abstract Background Organ-preserving treatment for early-stage rectal cancer may avoid the substantial perioperative morbidity and functional sequelae associated with total mesorectal excision (TME). The initial results of an organ-preserving approach using preoperative short-course radiotherapy (SCRT) transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEMS) are presented. Methods Patients cT1–2N0 cancers staged high-quality MRI endorectal ultrasonography received SCRT, TEMS 8–10 weeks later, at four...
Abstract Background Colorectal cancer often presents with obstruction needing urgent, potentially life-saving decompression. The comparative efficacy and safety of endoluminal stenting versus emergency surgery as initial treatment for such patients is uncertain. Methods Patients left-sided colonic radiological features carcinoma were randomized to using a combined endoscopic/fluoroscopic technique followed by elective 1–4 weeks later, or surgical decompression without tumour resection....
OBJECTIVE: To determine the efficacy and safety of once daily valaciclovir for suppression recurrent genital herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection in immunocompetent patients. METHODS: 382 otherwise healthy patients with a history frequently recurring HSV (eight recurrences per year) were randomly allocated to receive either oral (500 mg daily) or placebo (3:1 ratio) 16 weeks until first recurrence, whichever occurred first. Patients clinically assessed at regular intervals also if they...
This paper considers the implications of current landscape education policy reform in Australian schooling. We argue that decontextualisation enactments and eschewing concerns relevant at local level school over past two decades have prompted various agendas to fail. contend recognition deep contextualisation schools is paramount any attempt renewal. Therefore, it school-level can should be directed by pedagogical innovative work educators. focus on 'relational pedagogy' because offers...
This paper tackles what is arguably one of the most pressing and intractable educational issues confronting western democracies – disengagement disconnection from schooling alarming numbers young people. The looks at policy response in Victoria, Australia, through ethnographic interviews with a small number people; it finds significant mismatch between intent re-engagement programmes, experiences people themselves. It seems that this an instance might be termed deafness, situation will...
In Australia, like many western countries, there has been a convergence of education policy around set utilitarian and economistic approaches to vocational training in schools. Such are based on the assumption that is direct relationship between national economic growth, productivity human capital development resulting persuasive political argument schools should be more closely aligned needs economy better prepare 'job ready' workers. These common sense views resonate strongly school...
This article reports on a critical policy analysis of discourses related to school exclusions. The management problematic student behaviour is one the intractable problems facing education systems today. Despite being ineffective, suspensions and exclusions are commonly used in many countries as discipline strategy manage behaviour. We adopted approach case Australia examine what missing from about discipline. identified nine silences discourses. aim better understand ways which common-sense...
Education is an important and defining element in young people's lives. When conceived properly, it has the potential to transform opportunities life chances. It hardly comes as news that recent times authors have witnessed inappropriate intrusion into education of notions school reform while they might arguably be national economic interest, are highly questionable from vantage point people. In this paper, present some counter-narratives a group Australians who 'disengaged' or been 'shoved'...
This paper invokes the voices of young people who had been separated from mainstream schooling because they were positioned as 'disengaged' and 'at risk failing'. The authors argue that streaming students out needs serious questioning an escalating number are framed non-performers within a globally competitive educational market. Throughout we use critical ethnographic slices to expose experiences 24 interviewed together with mentors shared personal insights whilst attending re-engagement...
The instability of magnetic properties cobalt substituted acicular iron oxides can be reduced without losing the desirable in their application as high energy recording media. It is shown that by introducing small amounts zinc into these oxides, they become chemically and magnetically stable. This stabilizing effect produced ability to decrease crystal anisotropy oxides. degree chemical stability dependent not only on content but also ratio. In addition, tapes prepared from powders do show...
In neo-liberal times educational policy and practice is being realigned more closely to the shifting imperatives of market with damaging effects on lives young people.Whilst rhetoric suggests that schools are safe, welcoming caring environments for benefit all, veracity very different significant numbers marginalised students who face fragile, uncertain unpredictable futures.This paper draws a number research projects in Australia investigate lived reality struggling make sense school their...
The large deflection random response of flat and blade-stiffened carbon-carbon panels is studied both experimentally analytically. experimental data was obtained from tests performed in the Thermal Acoustic Fatigue Apparatus at NASA Langley. analytical results were generated using a numerical simulation program that used measured acoustic pressure as input. Comparisons simulated power spectral densities are presented for several locations on each panel. A comparison rms strains various panel...
A structural design study of an arrow-wing supersonic cruise aircraft has been made using the integrated system, ATLAS, and a relatively large analytical finite-element model containing 8500 degrees freedom. This paper focuses on methods developed used in support with emphasis aeroelasticity. The use ATLAS permitted (1) automatic resizing wing structure for multiple load conditions, (2) rapid evaluation aeroelastic effects, (3) iterative approach to correction flutter deficiencies....
Our research is driven by a strong belief that the stories of young people gathered through ethnographic interviews can generate awareness not only complexities, uncertainties and possibilities people’s lives but also ways in which their identities life chances are shaped broader structural, institutional historical forces beyond control. In this article, we introduce Jacinta, person who describes events conditions serve to hinder and/or support her journey school beyond. We have used...
The design and engineering professions are characterized by multifaceted, interdisciplinary problems requiring teams comprised of architects, engineers, constructors. unique attributes individual locations, regulatory requirements, owner preferences require to cooperate throughout the building process ensure that all requirements satisfied. In contrast this professional environment, educational environments strict disciplinary boundaries. Minimal interaction occurs within framework or...
