It is an incredible facility that Oncology at Colorado State University. At the is providing the unique abilities for research, Orthopaedic Research Center, our principal focus education and entrepreneurial development of continues to be solving the significant problems in biologic therapies. The mission of the TMI is to equine musculoskeletal disease (as can be seen improve the lives of animals and humans through in this report) but we also continue to increase biologic therapies created via the collaborative our investigation of comparative problems and work of leading scientists and clinicians; to expedite questions relevant to human joint disease and joint the availability of these therapies, and to promote injury including techniques and devices for human education related to these goals. Our vision is, osteoarthritis and articular cartilage repair when leading the way in discovery and implementation the technique can potentially benefit the horse. of the body’s therapeutics to improve the lives The increased number of translational projects and of animals and their humans. This vision that was funding support from the National Institute of Health developed by a TMI Steering Committee led by Dr. (NIH) and human orientated industry partners support Dave Frisbie and supported by our lead donors our mission of helping both horses and humans. John and Leslie Malone and by our matching donor Abigail K. Kawananakoa has a focus on investigating As part of that evolution in June 2017 we broke the next generation remedies based on living cells ground on the new Translational Medicine Institute and their products including patient derived stem (TMI) and on the 6th of May 2019 (it might be cells to treat musculoskeletal disease and other noted that I am writing this Preface sometime ailments and to literally be able to carry basic science after the 2017-2018 years that we are reporting discoveries in the TMI all the way to bedside with on!) we moved into the TMI.

Dave deserves because of similarities in animal and human much credit for what we have in this facility in terms physiology and disease. The funding and building of appropriateness of what we have as he and, as of the TMI in a two- and one-half year period is mentioned previously the TMI Steering Committee truly transformational and will certainly take us to was also critical to the process. We continue to a higher level. It is also an endorsement of what evolve as a facility particularly with the large step up we have achieved already. Those achievements in continuing education (CE), and imaging, as well as have come from a combination of ingenuity and research. Achieving what we envisioned with the TMI work of our faculty, research associates, graduate is continuing to evolve with the Scientific Advisory students, veterinary students and undergraduate Board (SAB) selecting projects for support based on students as well as the critical help of our donors. their potential to find new therapies and advances. Our continued evolution has been greatly Two other major items that are critical to achieving strengthened by the addition of other principal our goals in advanced equine health are the Gail investigators and programs to the ORC and Holmes Equine Orthopaedic Research Center Orthopaedic Bioengineering including, the Preclinical transitioning to a Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation Surgical Research Laboratory led by co-directors Center under the leadership of Dr. Melissa King Jeremiah Easley and Howard Simon as well as as well as funding of phase 1 of a new Equine the programs of Drs.

The German market offers good opportunities for U.S. exporters of consumer- oriented agricultural products. In 2014, U.S. exports of agricultural products to Germany totaled US$ 2.5 billion. Largest segments were soybeans, tree nuts, Alaska Pollock, wine, beef, and other consumer oriented products. This report provides U.S. food and agriculture exporters with background information and suggestions for entering the German market. Post: Berlin Author Defined: Section I - Market Overview Germany has 81 million of the world’s wealthiest consumers and is by far the most populous and economically powerful of the European Union’s 28 member-states. Germany’s population continues to decline due to low birth rates and reduced immigration. It is estimated that 50 percent of its population will be older than 47 in 2025 and by 2060 the population will have decreased to about 65 million. The German economy has improved markedly in recent years. The economy took a serious hit during the economic crisis. Because of the country’s strong export dependency, GDP declined by more than 5 per cent in 2009. However, the recovery in 2010/11 was equally strong resulting in a V-shaped recovery as pre-crisis real GDP was reached again in the second quarter of 2011.

Anz_Essen-Affair_2013.indd 2 27.03.13 10:10 EDITORIAL | 3 Egon Galinnis Managing Director of Messe Essen GmbH Dear Readers, Not too much navel-gazing – we set ourselves this objective at the very start of ESSEN AFFAIRS. And your comments on our magazine have convinced us that this is still the right way to go. But we’ve made an exception for this issue. And I’m sure you won’t hold it against us, for the occasion is unique: Messe Essen was founded 100 years ago, on 21 April 1913. In the cover story on our 100-year jubilee, we not only take a look back but also gaze into the future – just like the many well-wishers who sent us their personal congratulations. I would like to take this opportunity to warmly thank all of them once again for their contributions.

Our principal focus continues to be solving the signicant problems in equine musculoskeletal disease, as can be seen in this report, but we also continue to investigate questions relevant to human joint disease and techniques and devices for human osteoarthritis and articular cartilage repair when the technique can also potentially benet the horse. e increased number of translational projects and funding support from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) support our mission of helping both horses and humans. ere have been a number of notable projects in this regard. Evaluation of a combination of microfracture and an injectable self-assembling peptide (KLD) hydrogel on repair of articular cartilage defects in an equine model (funded by an NIH Program Grant) has shown that both microfracture and KLD augment repair, with microfrac- ture improving the quality of tissue and KLD improving the amount of ll and protecting against radiographic changes. is study has just accepted in the Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery.

  • Safety Vests for Jockeys: a Case Study of Primary and Dependent-Secondary Users Affecting the Evolution of Vest Design in the Australian Horse-Racing Industry
    SAFETY VESTS FOR JOCKEYS: A CASE STUDY OF PRIMARY AND DEPENDENT-SECONDARY USERS AFFECTING THE EVOLUTION OF VEST DESIGN IN THE AUSTRALIAN HORSE-RACING INDUSTRY Lisa Giusti Gestri 2019 A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Swinburne University of Technology Melbourne, Australia 2 This page intentionally left blank 3 “Riding in a race is a feeling like no other. Riding is of the mind, of the body and of the soul. Physically, it fills you with adrenaline and puts you in a heightened state – a zone. It also elevates your spirit, takes you to places that ordinary life is less likely to.” (Michelle Payne in Payne & Harms, 2016, p.85) 4 Abstract Using a case study method, this thesis presents new insights into key contemporary pressures that are restricting the update of the design of Australian jockeys’ safety vests. The number of female jockeys has grown considerably and there has also been a consistent rate of serious injuries to jockeys; yet, despite the rapid and successful development of smart wearable technologies in the sports and health sectors, safety vests still need improvement. The Australian standards in use (ARB 1.1998 and the European Standard EN 13158) have not been significantly updated since early 2000s. The study compares the participants’ perspectives and the emerging development of smart wearable technologies in order to consider the adequacy of current design standards to accommodate the next generation of safety clothing and equipment in the Australian racing context. A qualitative research approach was adopted, which involved ethnographic methods of participant observations, a focus group and semi-structured interviews which informed the study and were compared with the relevant research literature in the field.
