Abstract:

Objective. Health policy and law reform agencies lack a sound evidence base of the impacts of patents on innovation and access to healthcare to assist them in their deliberations. This paper reports the results of a survey of managers of Australian genetic testing laboratories that asked a series of questions relating to the tests they perform, whether they pay to access patented inventions and whether they have received notifications from patent holders about patents associated with particular tests. Results. Some diagnostics facilities are exposed to patent costs, but they are all located in

AbstractResearch has shown that agricultural professionals are one of the major influences on farmer adoption of agricultural innovations. Genetic engineering and organic farming represent two vastly different innovations in agriculture, and both assert to have important sustainability outcomes. This paper presents the views from a telephone survey of agricultural scientists, extension officers and academics in Australia (n=185) on the barriers to further adoption of organic farming and agricultural genetic engineering, as well as exploring where they obtain their information about the two inn

Abstract:

Municipal waste management has become a challenging issue with the rise in urban populations and changes in people’s habits, particularly in developing countries. Moreover, government policy plays an important role associated with municipal waste management. Thus, this research proposes the regional location routing problem (RLRP) model and multi-depot regional location routing problem (MRLRP) model, which are extensions of the location routing problem (LRP), to provide a better municipal waste collection process. The model is constructed to cover the minimum number of depot facilities’ policy

Integration means different things to different people and as a consequence appears to only partially deliver on promised outcomes. For effective integrated water cycle management these outcomes should include improved water use efficiency, less waste, environmental sustainability, and provide secure and reliable supply to meet social and economic needs. The objective of integration is the management and combination of all these outcomes as part of a whole, so as to provide better outcomes than would be expected by managing the parts independently. Integration is also a consequence of the Wate

However, media has played a role in sending a negative message to tourists, making them hesitate to visit the destination.

In 2018, an Australian Parliamentary Inquiry recommended that insurers’ use of genetic test results in underwriting should be prohibited.

Abstract:

This article reviews the terms in which the Australian Cultural Fields project engaged with the concepts of fields, capitals, and habitus. It also places these concepts in the context of their longer histories of use and interpretation in Bourdieusian sociology, and identifies the new inflections acquired in bringing them to bear on the relations between culture and inequality in Australia. It involves a discussion of some of the key dynamics that have characterised the relations across and between the six cultural fields selected for study in the Australian Cultural Fields project – the art,

PurposeThe literature shows that the current Australian waste management framework does not meet industry and government expectations. This study, therefore, seeks the key construction and demolition (C&D) stakeholders' insights on various issues identified. It aims to understand the main barriers to effective C&D waste management, examining the role of the federal government and exploring perceptions around waste regulations, policies and schemes.Design/methodology/approachAn online survey was conducted in 2019 to capture stakeholder perceptions.

Abstract:

Thailand's National Biotechnology Policy Framework 2004â€“2009 acts as a catalyst to enhance industrial productivity and sustainability. Six goals are identified in the national policy framework, of which two are given priority: â€˜Kitchen of the Worldâ€™ and â€˜Healthcare Centre of Asiaâ€™. The Board of Investment of Thailand (BOI) is creating a positive environment for local and international industries. BOI provides maximum benefit privileges to biotechnology-related investments. Currently, there are 50 new emerging biotechnology companies in Thailand. More than 80 existing businesses have

Abstract:

In the beginning, the editors were brought together by science fiction, the popular cultural form most devoted to thinking about the future. The world though is too complex to produce a straight line from academic work on science fiction to editing a journal issue on the future, so the sf we started with was science fiction about the past. It's taken us a while to get to the future, but here, to a certain extent, we are. Thinking about the future is never easy, never really free of fiction, and the only strong chance is that you'll get it wrong (as innumerable prognostications from space ships

Abstract:

This article explores attitudes of stakeholders involved in biotechnology towards the Responsible Innovation (RI) framework. As a framework for governance, RI has received increasing scholarly attention but has yet to be successfully integrated into U.S. research and innovation policy. Using a mixed methods approach, we analyzed the attitudes of different biotechnology stakeholders, particularly those working in areas related to genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in agriculture and the environment, towards the principles and practices of RI.

Abstract:

AbstractThe COVID-19 crisis has brought unprecedented challenges to many sectors, including the built environment. The construction and demolition (C&D) waste management and recovery industry is an essential service provider to this sector. Like other industries, this industry has been affected by the pandemic in many ways. However, in Australia, this impact has not been thoroughly investigated. This study, therefore, explores COVID-19 impacts on the Australian C&D waste recovery and construction industry as the major waste consumer and generator. To achieve this aim, a literature revi

Clinical genetics services are at the vanguard of realising the health benefits of genomic medicine. As the field continues to expand in clinical utility and implementation, it is critical that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are able to participate and benefit equally to avoid further widening of the existing health gap. This is the first study to explore barriers to accessing clinical genetics services among Aboriginal and Tor

The focus was to be very much on the impact of Brexit that had been promised, but not yet delivered. Whatever happens in the future regarding the UK's relationship with the EU, many changes in UK agriculture are expected as the government empathises on the environment rather than production, with farmers having to contend with fewer pesticides registered for use, increasing problems of insects, diseases and weeds resistant to pesticides and the impact of climate change.

AbstractThe application of gene drives to achieve public health goals, such as the suppression of Anopheles gambiae populations, or altering their ability to sustain Plasmodium spp. infections, has received much attention from researchers. If successful, this genetic tool can contribute greatly to the wellbeing of people in regions severely affected by malaria. However, engineered gene drives are a product of genetic engineering, and the experience to date, gained through the deployment of genetically engineered (GE) crops, is that GE technology has had difficulty receiving public acceptance i

There are significant building projects in large central sites such as Darling Harbour and Barangaroo on the famous Harbour foreshore. The period of development has offered an unprecedented opportunity for the New South Wales (NSW) State Government to arrest the attention of the Sydney public through kilometres of construction hoarding.
