Vaccination prevents severe morbidity and mortality from COVID-19 in the general population. The immunogenicity efficacy of SARS-CoV-2 vaccines patients with antibody deficiency is poorly understood.
In Aotearoa New Zealand, there has been a marked decrease in the uptake of routine childhood vaccinations since onset COVID-19 pandemic, particularly among Māori and Pacific children. This Pacific-centered research used an interpretive description methodology. We undertook culturally informed interviews discussions with caregivers (n = 24) healthcare professionals 13) to understand their perceptions vaccines. Data were analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis privileged respective...
Purpose – This paper seeks to provide details of Griffith University's (GU) approach for sustainably dealing with electronic waste (e‐waste) and the benefits using e‐waste programme as a valuable educational case study ESD.
E-waste refers to both electronic and electrical waste materials; namely any items which rely on an electric current or electromagnetic fields in order operate, contain a hard-drive significant components and/or printed circuit board. is outstripping the general growth of municipal stream. Increasingly, smaller cheaper are being disposed systems this, coupled with increase number of, turnover manufacturers suppliers, may see local councils assuming key role future e-waste management. A...
Abstract Introduction Across Aotearoa (New Zealand), there are chronic shortages of qualified Māori (Indigenous peoples Aotearoa) health practitioners and systemic ethnic inequities. This study, focussing on the discipline occupational therapy, explores graduates' recollections institutional barriers that impacted their study in this field over a 25‐year period. Methods qualitative interviewed seven therapy graduates using pūrākau—an innovative narrative inquiry method. Pūrākau (stories)...
The waste and recycling sector has been identified as a green industry and, such, jobs within this may be classed 'green jobs'. Many governments have seen way of increasing employment, particularly during the global financial crisis. However, methods used to define quantify directly affect quantification these jobs. In December 2010, Queensland introduced strategy that stated intent increase sector. This article discusses milieu existing issues associated with quantifying Queensland's...
The compostability of degradable polyethylene under open windrow composting conditions is explored within this paper. Areas for consideration were the use of, and impacts sacks on process quality finished compost product. These factors investigated through tracking polyethylene's weight loss over process; amount polymer residue chemical contaminants in product; temperature profiles a bioassay to establish plant growth germination levels using final Statistical analysis has led development...
Queensland (QLD) is the second largest state in Australia with an area of 1,734,157 km2 and a population some 4,132,000 (less than 20% Australia’s total population). The majority QLD’s located South East (SEQ) region around Brisbane Gold Coast further densities along coast. SEQ growing rapidly, receiving over 1,000 new immigrants (both interstate international) to every week, which stimulating housing, retail commercial industrial sectors. This growth development leading increase waste...
Abstract The use of degradable polymers for the collection and composting organic wastes is explored within this paper. With reference to one trial where performance a ‘degradable’ polyethylene based sack kerbside was investigated. Areas consideration were impacts polymer on process quality finished product. This also included comparative study two different types sacks currently European market (polyethylene starch). A number quantitative tests conducted assess mechanisms degradation how...
Internalised oppression can be tricky to recognise and hard talk about. Described as the most devastating kind of racism, it remains poorly researched understood. Nuanced expansive ways understanding internalised are necessary for work being recognised seeing each other fully human. For many complex reasons, performed by targets in service white supremacy, turning Indigenous spaces into new foci racism via everyday occupations. This article outlines our critical examinations steps grapple...
