Abstract:

[Truncated abstract] The primary aims of this thesis were to investigate health indicators of child maltreatment, as well as pathways into the child protection system using routinely collected government databases, enabling a preventative health approach to child abuse and neglect. This thesis aims to improve understanding of the trends in child maltreatment and the factors, at the child and family level, which increase or reduce vulnerability to child maltreatment so more effective prevention policies and practices can be developed. This project uses longitudinal de-identified population data

Abstract:

Transportation of swine is an emerging welfare issue, especially for piglets weaned and then immediately transported. Weaned pigs fed starter diets containing SDPP display improved growth performance. The objective of this study was to determine effects of pre-weaning SDPP on indicators of health, welfare, and performance in transported weaned pigs. Pigs were assigned to treatments: I. SDPP + transport, II. Water + transport, III. SDPP + no transport, or IV. Water + no transport. Pigs received their gavage twice daily for 5 d prior to weaning. Pigs were weaned and either transported or moved

Abstract:

Through the application of the Delphi technique, this study draws on the expertise of British child protection academics and practitioners from a wide range of disciplines in seeking to develop a consensus opinion on possible early indicators of child abuse and neglect. Underpinned by children's rights theory the study reflects an ideologically oriented mode of inquiry. The literature on childhood and research findings from work undertaken with adult survivors of abuse forms an important part of the background. The search for early indicators is described in the context of a secondary preventa

More than 14 million records from national cattle database were analyzed to identify potential welfare indicators for dairy farms. Within the 24 dairy farms, one was scored as ‗enhanced‘, 18 were ‗acceptable‘ and five were ‗not classified‘, according to the Welf

Abstract:

The increased public interest in the welfare of animals used in food production has led to the emergence of welfare assessment schemes for a range of livestock species. There are currently over 100 million sheep in the EU which are primarily bred for milk, meat and wool production and the majority of these animals are managed extensively. The general perception of sheep in extensive systems living “natural lives” with few welfare compromises, along with the practical challenges of adequately assessing their welfare, has caused them to be largely ignored in comparison to other species.

Abstract:

Animal welfare is a scientific discipline in continuous development and updating, motivated by the increasing concerns from the European citizens. Recent researches highlighted the importance of the use of animal-based indicators to assess and evaluate the actual welfare status of farmed animals. Moreover, indicators should be feasible (concerning time and money consumption), as well as being valid and reliable. Many welfare assessment protocols have already been developed for various farmed species, such as cattle, pigs and poultry, but they still require refinement and deeper studies, in

Abstract:

Background Middle-income countries are currently undergoing nutrition transition more rapidly than did high income countries. These populations are therefore at high risk of over-nutrition (obesity) and nutrition-related, non-communicable diseases before the elimination of under-nutrition and infectious diseases. Such nutritional double burden is most common in low SES groups of middle-income countries, such as the Maya of Mexico. Long-term poor environmental conditions during early life results in a population with high levels of chronic under-nutrition (stunting), and a consequent predisposi

Abstract:

In this thesis I investigate the utility of orchids as indicators of ecosystem health. The study areas were urban bushland fragments on the Swan Coastal Plain, a global biodiversity hotspot. The study focuses on the abundance, reproductive success, mycorrhizal abundance and seedling biomass accumulation of a suite of native terrestrial orchids common to Perth’s urban bushland fragments. A critical factor in exploring the ecological responses of these orchids to site condition and their application as indicators of ecosystem health is the assessment of the ecosystem health of each of the study
