  • A Study of Chlamydia Trachomatis: Sexual Risk Behaviour, Infection and Prevention in the Australian Defence Force
    A study of Chlamydia trachomatis: sexual risk behaviour, infection and prevention in the Australian Defence Force Stephen Mark Lambert Diploma of Teaching; Bachelor of Education; Masters in Public Health A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2014 School of Medicine I Abstract There is limited research in Australia focusing on C. trachomatis infection at a population level utilising systematic non-random recruitment methodologies. In addition, little is known in the Australian Defence Force (ADF) about the prevalence of C. trachomatis and of risk behaviours that may impact on sexual health. This study utilised an existing process in the ADF, the Annual Health Assessment, to source new information about C. trachomatis infection and about sexual risk and behaviour. The outcomes of this research may assist the ADF to maintain the health of personnel and consequently a high degree of operational preparedness, and may contribute to the understanding of C. trachomatis prevalence in Australia and across the world. The aims of this study were to determine the prevalence of C. trachomatis infection and to identify potential high risk populations in the ADF with a view to discussing secondary prevention interventions for the control of C. trachomatis infection within the ADF. Seven hundred and thirty-three ADF personnel were recruited into the study over a 24 month period. Participants were asked to complete an 8 page comprehensive survey about sexual behaviour and to provide a urine sample to be tested for C. trachomatis. Ethics approval was received from both the Australian Defence Human Research Ethics Committee and the University of Queensland Medical Research Ethics Committee.

  • Barbados 2020 Human Rights Report
    BARBADOS 2020 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Barbados is a parliamentary democracy led by Prime Minister Mia Mottley of the Barbados Labour Party. The Barbados Labour Party won all 30 parliamentary seats in the 2018 election. A former Barbados Labour Party member of Parliament became an independent in order to serve as the formal leader of the opposition. Queen Elizabeth II is the head of state and is represented by the governor general, who certifies all legislation on her behalf. The Royal Barbados Police Force is responsible for domestic law enforcement, including migration and border enforcement. The police and all other law enforcement agencies report to the attorney general. The Barbados Defence Force protects national security and may be called upon to maintain public order in times of crisis, emergency, or other specific needs. The defense force reports to the minister of defense and security. The law provides that the police may request defense force assistance with special joint patrols. Civilian authorities maintained effective control over the police and defense forces. There were no reports that the security forces committed any serious abuses. Significant human rights issues included: trafficking in persons, and the criminalization of consensual same-sex sexual conduct between adults. Authorities did not enforce the law on same-sex sexual conduct during the year. The government had mechanisms in place to identify and punish officials who may commit human rights abuses. Section 1. Respect for the Integrity of the Person, Including Freedom from: a. Arbitrary Deprivation of Life and Other Unlawful or Politically Motivated Killings There were no reports the government or its agents committed arbitrary or unlawful killings.

  • Race and Cricket: the West Indies and England At
    RACE AND CRICKET: THE WEST INDIES AND ENGLAND AT LORD’S, 1963 by HAROLD RICHARD HERBERT HARRIS Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Arlington in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT ARLINGTON August 2011 Copyright © by Harold Harris 2011 All Rights Reserved To Romelee, Chamie and Audie ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS My journey began in Antigua, West Indies where I played cricket as a boy on the small acreage owned by my family. I played the game in Elementary and Secondary School, and represented The Leeward Islands’ Teachers’ Training College on its cricket team in contests against various clubs from 1964 to 1966. My playing days ended after I moved away from St Catharines, Ontario, Canada, where I represented Ridley Cricket Club against teams as distant as 100 miles away. The faculty at the University of Texas at Arlington has been a source of inspiration to me during my tenure there. Alusine Jalloh, my Dissertation Committee Chairman, challenged me to look beyond my pre-set Master’s Degree horizon during our initial conversation in 2000. He has been inspirational, conscientious and instructive; qualities that helped set a pattern for my own discipline. I am particularly indebted to him for his unwavering support which was indispensable to the inclusion of a chapter, which I authored, in The United States and West Africa: Interactions and Relations , which was published in 2008; and I am very grateful to Stephen Reinhardt for suggesting the sport of cricket as an area of study for my dissertation.

  • The Golden Sledge – the Man Behind Monti's Quest for Olympic Glory
    The Golden Sledge – The man behind Monti’s quest for Olympic Glory By Axel Forti Fifty years ago, the British bobsledders Tony Nash and Robin Dixon took Olympic gold in Innsbruck after the Italian star Eugenio Monti helped them fix a problem with their machine in an act of sportsmanship that has entered into Olympic lore. Monti finally achieved his Olympic dream in 1968. This is the story of the man who helped him achieve that goal. Engineer Antonio “Tony” Bosio, the man Monti called “The magician”. Thanks largely to the technical modifications made to the sled by bobsleigh by Antonio, Eugenio won gold in both the two-man and four-man at the 1968 Games in Grenoble. In 1966 Bosio had started to design and build the sledges which were to be used by Monti. Bosio’s adventure started when Dr. Eng. Dusi contacted him on behalf of “Bob Club Cortina”. The purpose was to increase the speed of the bobsleigh during the run. Bosio willingly accepted. In winter his work schedule was not so full (Tony was a Kart manufacturer) so building a bobsleigh was a good opportunity to increase profits. Bosio went to the 1956 Olympic track in Cortina for research purposes. He observed the bobsleigh runs and tried to work out where modifications might be possible. “I placed myself on the first part of the bends. I immediately found the problem.” The bobsleigh lifted from the ice and only three runners remained in contact with the ground. This was a very bad situation, not only from the technical point of view but also from a safety perspective: low grip, strong impacts and the inability to follow the track bends.
