View Program 1 EMCR COMMITTEE CHAIR’S WELCOME On behalf of the organising committee, it is my pleasure to welcome you to the ANZSSFR World Sarcopenia Day Symposium presented by the Early- and Mid-Career Researchers and clinicians (EMCR) committee. The 4th of July is World Sarcopenia Day and therefore we dedicated this symposium to highlight this special day. We have an exciting online program including presentations from EMCRs across the world and the outcomes of the Delphi Process on Sarcopenia Diagnosis and Management, led by EMCRs David Scott and Jesse Zanker. The aim of the EMCR Committee is to promote, support and engage with as many EMCRs as possible to shape the future generation of sarcopenia and frailty research. Therefore, we have 12 short presentations by EMCRs showcasing their research. We have asked the presenters to include their contact details on their slides to encourage the audience to contact the presenters to learn more about their research and encourage networking and collaboration opportunities. Please take this opportunity to be in contact with the next generation! The Sarcopenia and Diagnosis Management Task Force was established by the EMCRs David Scott and Jesse Zanker. During this symposium, the outcomes of the Delphi process will be shared for the first time. This is an important step to standardise sarcopenia diagnosis and management across Australia and New Zealand. We hope to see experts and consumers attending this symposium who participated in this Delphi process, as their input was valuable to the outcomes. We also hope that the outcomes can be implemented into research and clinical practice in Australia and New Zealand. Lastly, I would like to thank our organising committee for their time and effort in organising this event. Enjoy the World Sarcopenia Day Symposium! On behalf of the EMCR Committee, Dr. Esmee M.

Healthy Longevity Translational Research Program, Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore, Singapore 6. Centre for Healthy Longevity, National University Health System, Singapore Background: Malnutrition and sarcopenia coexist in older adults, yet they remain largely undiagnosed and untreated, despite available interventions. This study aimed to assess the prevalence, the coexistence of, and the association between malnutrition and sarcopenia in geriatric rehabilitation inpatients. Methods: REStORing health of acutely unwell adulTs (RESORT) is an observational, longitudinal cohort of geriatric rehabilitation inpatients. The association between malnutrition, diagnosed according to the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria and sarcopenia according to the revised definition of the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People (EWGSOP2) (no sarcopenia, probable sarcopenia, confirmed sarcopenia and severe sarcopenia) was determined using multinomial logistic regression analyses, adjusted for age, sex, comorbidities and cognitive impairment. Results: Out of 506 geriatric rehabilitation inpatients, 51% were malnourished, 49% had probable sarcopenia, 0.4% had confirmed sarcopenia (non-severe) and 19% had severe sarcopenia. 6 Malnutrition and probable sarcopenia and malnutrition and confirmed/severe sarcopenia coexisted in 23% and 13% of the 506 patients respectively. Malnutrition was not associated with probable sarcopenia (OR = 0.91, 95% CI = 0.58-1.42, p = 0.674) but with severe sarcopenia (OR = 2.07, 95% CI = 1.13-3.81, p = 0.019). Conclusion: The prevalence, coexistence of, and the association between malnutrition and severe sarcopenia in geriatric rehabilitation inpatients warrant diagnosis at admission. Further research into feasible and effective interventions to counteract both conditions to improve geriatric rehabilitation outcomes is needed. 7 Dietary protein intake and physical activity levels as determinants of sarcopenia risk IL Stoodley1,2, BS Berthon1,2, HA Scott1,2, PJ Baines1,2, H Knox1,2, B Paradzayi1,2, LG Wood1,2 Corresponding author: [email protected] 1.

School of Biomedical Sciences and Pharmacy, University of Newcastle, Callaghan, New South Wales, Australia Background: Sarcopenia is associated with an increased risk of falls, hospitalisation and mortality but can be difficult to identify in the community. Current screening measures require specialist equipment including dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scans and grip strength dynamometers. New criteria, which identify older adults at-risk of developing sarcopenia, may assist in correctly targeting those who would benefit from early intervention, without access to this equipment. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to determine if screening community-dwelling older adults on usual protein intake and physical activity

The role of the communications committee is to oversee the delivery of information among members of the ANZBMS and between ANZBMS council and members of the society, by a number of activities. This year, the Communications committee was established to include one member from each of the ANZBMS subcommittees in addition to our ordinary members and the ANZBMS Honorary Secretary (See pg.11 for more details). One area ANZBMS members expressed that they would like to see improved was In this issue the general newsletter to members. This need was further increased by the current COVID-19 pandemic, which has changed the way we work and interact with others. It is important for us to be able to connect to each other and share our experiences, particularly as we will not be able to gather in person this year. Inspired by the high-quality newsletter generated by our Early Career Investigators (ECI), we have adopted a similar approach and will be releasing issues on a quarterly basis.

  • Four Early French Teachers at the University of Sydney*
    FOUR EARLY FRENCH TEACHERS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF SYDNEY* By MARGARET KERR THE men who taught French at Sydney University in the years 1854 to 1886, as well as illustrating by their careers the problems and uncertainties of an era in modern language teaching in universities, constituted in themselves a remarkable variety of human types. They could even be given labels, such as "the scholar", "the debrouillaTd", "the confidence-man", and "the honest work­ horse". Perhaps that would be somewhat unjust: their real contribution cannot be summed up so easily. There is no doubt that most of the work done in French in these early years was of a low standard and that the teaching of this subject within a university was difficult to justify. Some such assertion as this would also apply to any British university of the period. However, repeated statements by the Sydney University authorities showed that they were well aware of the short­ comings of modern language studies in the University. They tried various changes, but none proved satisfactory. Then, early in the 80s, after hearing the news of the Challis bequest,! the Sydney University Senate decided to reorganize completely the teaching of modern languages by appointing a Professor of Modern Literature, and by combining the modern subjects English, French and German into one Department under his direction. This change was effected between the years 1887 and 1889 with the appointment of Mungo William MacCallum to the Chair, the creation of the Department of Modern Literature, and the arrival in 1889 of Dr Emil J. Trechmann, appointed Lecturer in French and German.

  • The DS Mitchell Story’ Exhibition Mitchell Library Centenary Celebration
    Supported by Message from Her Excellency, Professor Marie Bashir AC CVO ‘A Grand Obsession: The DS Mitchell Story’ Exhibition Mitchell Library Centenary Celebration I want to record my profound appreciation to David Scott Mitchell for his bequest to the State Library of New South Wales 100 years ago, of a priceless collection of 40,000 books, manuscripts, maps and pictures, as well as an endowment of £70,000. The importance of the DS Mitchell Bequest to our state, to our nation, and even beyond, is incalculable. The documents initially comprising the bequest, together with historical acquisitions subsequently acquired through his generosity, have provided a glorious legacy of the Australian spirit and identity. I have always said that, if ordered in the most catastrophic of times imaginable, in fantasy, to save just one man-made structure in Australia from destruction, I would immediately nominate the Mitchell Library with all its contents. There are no words which could adequately record our indebtedness and gratitude for this priceless gift. Marie R Bashir AC CVO Governor of New South Wales A GRAND OBSESSION: THE DS MITCHELL STORY v Foreword David Scott Mitchell (1836–1907) was Australia’s greatest book collector. He accumulated the world’s pre-eminent collection of books, manuscripts, maps and pictures relating to Australia and the Pacific. On his death in July 1907, his collection was bequeathed to the Public (now State) Library of New South Wales, together with an endowment of £70,000 to fund additions to his collection. The conditions of the bequest were that his collection should be housed separately and known as the Mitchell Library and should be freely available on conditions similar to those in force in the British Museum library, now the British Library.

Apart from any fair dealing for the purposes of study, research, criticism, review, or as otherwise permitted under the Copyright Act, no part may be reproduced by any process without written permission. Inquiries should be made to the publisher. Typeset, printed & bound by Southwood Press Pty Limited 80-92 Chapel Street, Marrickville, NSW For the publisher Sydney University Law School Phillip Street, Sydney ISBN 0 909777 22 5 Preface 1990 marks the Centenary of the Law School. Technically the Centenary of the Faculty of Law occurred in 1957, 100 years after the Faculty was formally established by the new University. In that sense, Sydney joins Melbourne as the two oldest law faculties in Australia. But, even less than the law itself, a law school is not just words on paper; it is people relating to each other, students and their teachers. Effectively the Faculty began its teaching existence in 1890. In that year the first full time Professor, Pitt Cobbett was appointed. Thus, and appropriately, the Law School celebrated its centenary in 1990, 33 years after the Faculty might have done. In addition to a formal structure, a law school needs a substantial one, stone, bricks and mortar in better architectural days, but if pressed to it, pre-stressed concrete. In its first century, as these chapters recount, the School was rather peripatetic — as if on circuit around Phillip Street.
