Description: Women have always been present as artists, but not necessarily included within the canon of Western art history. Studying the canon is an accepted way of understanding the context of what has gone before, and in turn positioning ourselves within contemporary art practices and theories. However there is a disconnect when most of the individuals within the canon are nothing like us. Self-portraiture can be an embodied methodology, a starting point for an investigation that goes beyond oneself. Addressing the personal through my art practice also addresses a wider community of female artists. Through a studio-based investigation I have asked: What can visual art’s inherent capacity for generating and capturing traces, residues and impressions express in a material and conceptual way to explore self-identity and contribute to the current discourse about women artists’ history? How can these themes be visually expressed in new ways through contemporary selfportraiture, addressing absence and perspective in the documentation of women’s art? I explore these questions through experimental methods of making self-portraits. This research project considers the personal, examining representation of the self as an ontological enquiry into the roles of making and being. As a practice-led study, I pursue this line of enquiry as a means for exploring current structures of power, through a new body of work aimed at further informing Australian women’s art practice and its history.

Description: Sports injuries are a significant clinical and public health concern. There is a growing call to improve the translation of available evidence-based and expert-informed sports injury prevention interventions into sustained use in practice by physicians and others (eg, athletic trainers, coaches, and parents) who care for injured athletes. This article provides a brief overview of the current sport injury prevention implementation literature before focusing specifically on the translation of guidelines (including consensus and position statements) developed to assist physicians and others diagnose and manage athletes with sport-related concussion and the associated return-to-play decisions. The outcomes of more than 20 published studies indicate that physician, athletic trainer, coach, parent, and athlete knowledge, use of, and compliance with sport-related concussion guidelines are limited. More concerted, coordinated, and theory-informed efforts are required to facilitate the widespread dissemination, translation, and implementation of such guidelines. An example is provided of how implementation drivers could be used to inform the development of a comprehensive, multilevel implementation strategy targeting the individual, organizational, and system-level changes necessary to support the translation of available sport-related concussion guidelines in both the clinical and sports settings.

Description: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic, progressive metabolic disease that is an international epidemic. General Practitioners (GPs) are the cornerstones of T2DM management. The aim of this study was to determine the scope of care and management of patients with T2DM within General Practice, while highlighting domains of success and areas where improvement can be made. Demographic and laboratory cross sectional data were collected by examining electronic patient records at one rural General Practice to address the aims of the study. Data included key management parameters of Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR), microalbuminuria, blood pressure and cholesterol levels, in addition to age, sex, and residential postcode. Further, data regarding the use of insulin, antihypertensive medications and lipid-lowering medications were collected and analyzed. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used and significance was determined at p

Description: There is a searchable index and brief description of all works held in the University of Ballarat Art Collection. The University seeks to develop and maintain a permanent collection of high quality works of visual art for the cultural enrichment and research purposes of its student body, staff and wider community. The art collection consists largely of works by Australian artists, the earliest of which is a work by Posenby Carew-Smith dated 1879. An interesting early donation is Waterloo Claim. This work depicts the Ballarat goldfield at the location on which the Ballarat School of Mines (SMB) was built. Works from the 1920s and 1930s showcase students from the Ballarat Technical Art School, but the greatest period of art collection occurred at the Ballarat Teachers' College during the 1950s and 1960s. The Art Collection at the Ballarat Teachers' College had a modest beginning in 1951 when two Lionel Lindsay woodcuts were purchased for the College (then located at Dana Street). These were followed with works by Max Middleton and Vogel; and in 1954 works by Kenneth Jack and Tate Adams were purchased. When the College moved to the new Gillies Street building in 1958 the collection grew steadily with acquisitions by Rupert Bunny, Peter Clarke, Max Coward, Arch Cuthbertson, William Frater, James Gleeson, Pro Hart, George Lambert, Murray Griffen, David Newbury, and many others. Leonard French was commissioned to paint the mural Tapestry in 1959. Another mural, Symbols of Life by George Johnson, was commissioned in 1965. These two works, along with Inge King's welded steel sculpture Organic Form, was purchased with funds raised by student and staff contributions. Following the merger with the tertiary division of the School of Mines to form the Ballarat Institute of Tertiary Education, then the Ballarat College of Advanced Education, Ballarat University College and finally the University of Ballarat, these works have been augmented with various contemporary prints, ceramics, graphics, paintings and sculptures by Australian artists, including work by graduates, postgraduates and staff of the University, such as Claire Blake, Peter Blizzard, Bridget Bodenham, Loris Button, Maryanne Coutts, Neville French, Victor Greenhalgh, Nornie Gude, Gwen Hansen-Piggott, Ian Hemingway, Duncan Lannan, Ros Lawson, Geoff Mainwaring, David Noonan, Peter Pilven, Iain Reid, Ewan Ross, Anne Saunders, Wes Walters, Marcus Wills, Carole Wilson and Doug Wright.
