Multicultural Counselling

Lifetime experiences have equipped the author with a broad and diverse background in approaching counselling and problem resolution. This has ranged from grief counselling to management of rural financial counselling and spiritual counselling. In 2004, the author was appointed Inaugural Hindu Chaplain at the Flinders University of South Australia, a position held until late 2007 (although his counselling role has continued until this day). The chaplaincy to which he was appointed was one of several that collectively comprised a multi-faith chaplaincy involving a team approach. The concept was one in which chaplains of different faiths would respect each other's traditions, would eschew proselytization, and would work cooperatively to mount joint educational and community interest projects. However, at the more fundamental level, his role consisted of providing chaplaincy services to Hindu students and staff studying or employed at Flinders University. (Increasingly this role extended to members of the other two universities based in Adelaide, neither of which possessed a Hindu chaplain.)

The Relationship

This article discusses the administration of school and community relation. The existence of schools is driven by the needs of the community, because educational responsibilities are governed by the responsibilities of the community, family, and government. Based on these relationships, the relationship is always enhanced. But something is seen. Changes in nature, goals, and methods of teaching relationships. On the other hand, the community also demands the change in education. In Indonesia, the relationship between schools and the community has been established. This is good progress.Therefore, Husemas is a process of communication between schools and the community to increase community understanding of educational needs and activities and encourage community interest and cooperation in school improvement and development.

And Control

Significant changes are forecast in the approach of government to regulation of the upstream petroleum industry.Prescriptive 'command and control' style regulation is still widely used but does not provide confidence that outcomes will be acceptable and has been criticised as a major contributing factor in the Piper Alpha disaster. Regulator capture, conflict of interest, over-regulation and high compliance costs are also cited as common problems with the existing system.The trend toward greater community involvement in the regulatory process, smaller government and open and transparent decision making are adding pressure for change.A new approach termed objective regulation is being developed in South Australia and involves:establishment by government in dialogue with industry and the community of meaningful and measurable objectives in regard to environmental protection, safety etc.;preparation of codes of practice, guidelines and manuals designed to ensure objectives will be met; andintegration of management systems designed to assure achievement of objectives, including operator and regulator audits of outcomes and the effectiveness of the environmental and safety management system.Objective regulation is aimed at reducing compliance costs, eliminating many approvals currently required, providing greater flexibility, achieving better outcomes and giving greater assurance that management policies are being implemented.Involvement of community interest groups insetting and reviewing objectives should increase community confidence in the industry's ability to operate in an environmentally responsible and consistent manner. This should assist in reducing and hopefully reversing the trend towards increasing restrictions on access to land to which the industry has become increasingly subject.

Different Parts

Two strains of woolly aphis have been demonstrated in South Australia, the one ('Blackwood strain') able to attack varieties of apple resistant to the other ('Clare strain'). Both strains display well-defined differences in the ease with which they can colonize different varieties of apple and different parts of any one variety. These differences tend to be related to the composition of the tissues with respect to α-amino nitrogen and phenolics, but the most clear-cut correlation is an inverse one between the susceptibility of tissues and the ratio of phenolics to α-amino nitrogen in the tissue.

Soil Moisture Reserves

Soil moisture changes under two adjacent forest associations (Eucalyptus obliqua association in the more mesic environment, E. elaeophora association in the more xeric sites) were recorded in the Inglewood area of the Mount Lofty Ranges, South Australia. The evidence indicated that the E. obliqua association had a higher index of evapotranspiration (Itr = Etr/Ew0.75) over most of the range of available water (soil moisture + rainfall) than the E. elaeophora association. The more mesic association consequently completely exhausted the stored soil moisture during periods of low rainfall and had to survive a drought period every year. The other association did not deplete the soil moisture reserves and in an average year, no drought occurred. Characteristic species of the more mesic association must be able to survive this drought period especially during the seedling stage.

Hereford, Charolais and Brahman sires were mated to Hereford, Shorthorn, Jersey and Friesian xshorthorn cows for four successive years from June 1969 at Struan Research Centre in South Australia. Assistance was given during 15 .9% of calvings resulting from Charolais sires, 6.8% resulting from Brahman sires and 2.1% from Hereford sires (differences statistically significant, P < 0 05). A greater percentage of Friesian x Shorthorn (13.8) than of Shorthorn (5.0) or Jersey (4 3) cows were assisted at birth (P< 0.05). There were no significant differences between the percentage of Hereford cows assisted (10.9) and that of any of the other dam breeds. There were no significant differences in calf mortality among sire breeds or among dam breeds. Charolais-sired calves were heavier at birth, 270,340 and 430 d old and had heavier (1 95 kg) carcasses with a smaller proportion of fat than Brahman- and Hereford-sired carcasses (180 and 167 kg respectively) at 430d old. Brahman-sired calves were heavier than Hereford-sired calves at birth, 370, 430 d old. However, they were significantly lighter at 270 d old. Hereford cows gave birth to significantly heavier calves than Shorthorn and Jersey cows but there were no clear differences due to dam breed in growth rates of calves, carcass weights or composition. It was concluded that the use of Charolais sires in the lower South East of South Australia can result in significant increases in the growth rate of slaughter cattle and in the production of leaner carcasses. Brahman sires did not exhibit clear advantages over Hereford sires. No definite conclusions could be drawn about the dam breeds examined in the study.

Team Approach

This study focused on the evaluation of the team approach. The particular team was defined as having three members. It was hypothesized that each member would be familiar with the activities of the other members and view them as being both effective and “good.” The semantic differential was used to measure these hypotheses. The results raised some serious questions regarding the functioning of the team.

Early Colonial

South Australia was the least Irish part of nineteenth-century Australia. Proportionately fewer Irish arrived at Port Adelaide than at the other great immigrant ports of the southern continent. They also came later: relatively few Irish participated in the first dozen years of colonisation in South Australia after its inception in 1836. In contrast with other parts of Australia the Irish were slow to reach a tenth and never reached a third of the colonial population. They were not in South Australia ‘a founding people’. They were indeed conspicuously a minority which faced the established and unquestioned primacy of Anglo-Scottish colonisation.South Australia was overwhelmingly English in its origins. From the beginning it was virtually a fragment of southern England, a Home Counties colony expressly designed for superior expatriates. It was also heavily advertised as a haven for Protestant dissenters. The first Catholic priest in South Australia, William Benson, was hardly exaggerating when he described it in 1843 as ‘a little dissenting colony, exclusively Protestant evangelical’. He went further, saying that ‘when this colony was established no Catholic gentlemen of property were allowed to join the founders’ — implying thereby that the planners deliberately discouraged Irish participation. Only when the colonial population reached 14,000, asserted Benson, did ‘our late evangelical governors’ feel confident enough to permit a minority of Catholics reasonable and equal entry. Another Catholic Irishman, Major Thomas O’Halloran, also claimed that the early colonial planners had been anti-Irish, wishing to restrict their numbers to less than 5 per cent of the colonial population. It is little wonder that South Australia seemed, in Irish eyes, the most alien quarter of the new continent.

The effect of plant density (1.1-20 plants/ m2) on the yield of cobs, weight per cob and per cent kernel fill was determined for 3 types of sweetcorn (Zea mays), viz. sugary, sugary enhanced and shrunken, in 1984-85 and 1985-86 at Oakbank in South Australia. Response curves were fitted by inverse linear, inverse quadratic or quadratic equations. Of the shrunken (super sweet) cultivars Honey Sweet yielded highest, with 30.2 and 28.3 t/ha at densities of 14.0 and 11.2 plants/m2, which was marginally below (P>0.05) the yield of sugary (traditional), Golden Early Improved (31-6 t/ha at 7.5 plants/m2). Maximum mean weights of cobs of Honey Sweet in 1984-85 and 1985-86 were 0.40 and 0.38 kg at densities of 7.1 and 6.6 plants/m2. Most other cultivars produced the largest cob weight at 1.1 plants/m2. Sugar Sweet yielded less than Honey Sweet, but filled a higher percentage of the cob with kernels at all densities. There was 95.1% kernel fill at optimum density of 7.0 plants/m2 for Sugar Sweet compared with 90.6% for Honey Sweet for which the optimum density was not clearly defined. In the other cultivars, kernel fill declined as density increased from 1.1 to 20. Highest gross margins for Honey Sweet were obtained at 8-12 plants/m2 but, above 8 plants/m2, kernel fill and cob size rapidly decreased.

The Centre of Democracy's mission is to share stories about democracy and democratic practice in South Australia, and to motivate and support individuals and communities to play an active role in changemaking. The second of these aims was central to a public engagement project entitled Stitch & Resist which we began developing in late 2019. In March 2020, just days before we were due to launch the project, COVID-19 hit. CoD, along with the other museums run by the History Trust of South Australia, was closed, all public events were cancelled, and we suddenly started to talk about ‘pivoting’ – what it meant and what it might look like in practice. How, we wondered, could CoD remain relevant and useful during lockdown? How might we facilitate discussions around some of the issues that the pandemic and the measures introduced to ‘flatten the curve’ were bringing to the fore: housing and homelessness, isolation, wellbeing, domestic violence, racism, inequality, to mention but a few? And how might we collect around and document what will undoubtedly prove to be a historically significant moment? Stitch & Resist has become a vehicle through which we have explored and responded to these questions and the challenges and opportunities that COVID-19 has engendered.

Alloy Theory

SUMMARYMan has always been fascinated with the quest to understand the inner workings of nature at a fundamental level. According to Embedocles[1], a philosopher in ancient Greece, all material things consist of four basic elements (he called them “roots”), namely earth, water, air, and fire. Modern mail's interpretation of that statement is that earth, water and air refer to the three states of matter, i.e., solids, liquids and gasses, with fire designating a process for transforming one of those states into the other. Be that as it may, Embedocles' statement could be conceived as the first attempt to construct an alloy theory, i.e., a predictive capability of the behavior of composite systems.
