Abstract:

Migration is one of life events that may change lifestyle, including new cultural norms, language and community systems as well as dietary patterns. Changing dietary patterns from traditional eating patterns to those typical of a western lifestyle has been associated with increased risk of disease. Furthermore, new food use patterns develop through the rejection of traditional and the acceptance of culturally new food habits. The purpose of this study is to identify the food habits and meal patterns of Koreans living in Australia, and any relationship between length of residence and change in

Abstract:

The thesis studies the political participation of Thai farmers and focuses on two main factors, namely the domestic and the external impacts, which inform the case studies of rice, sugarcane, and potato farmers groups. Overall, the research has established that farmers groups have felt the impacts of domestic factors far more strongly than external factors. Furthermore, through comparative studies in relation to the case studies of rice, sugarcane, and potato farmers groups in Thailand, differences emerged between these three Thai farmers groups, in terms of the degree to which domestic factor

Abstract:

The related A genome species of the Oryza genus are the effective gene pool for rice. Here, we report draft genomes for two Australian wild A genome taxa: O. rufipogon-like population, referred to as Taxon A, and O. meridionalis-like population, referred to as Taxon B. These two taxa were sequenced and assembled by integration of short- and long-read next-generation sequencing (NGS) data to create a genomic platform for a wider rice gene pool. Here, we report that, despite the distinct chloroplast genome, the nuclear genome of the Australian Taxon A has a sequence that is much closer to that o

Abstract:

This project is a comprehensive study on salinity tolerance in Australian wild rice species and the potential applications of CRISPR/Cas9 on improving salinity tolerance in cultivated rice. Salinity tolerance mechanisms in wild rice were investigated by using a high throughput screening technique to assess the morphological and physiological responses. The knowledge of mechanisms from wild rice was manipulated in cultivated rice using the CRISPR/Cas9 technique. The results of this study indicate the potential of wild rice as a genetic resource and CRISPR/Cas9 as an approach to improve salinity

Abstract:

Through the late 20th century, global society experienced waves of unprecedented political and institutional change, but Australia came to be identified as "constitutionally speaking... the frozen continent", unable or unprepared to comprehensively modernise its own fundamental laws (Sawer 1967). This thesis opens up a subject basic to, but largely unexplored in debate about constitutional change: the territorial foundations of Australian constitutional thought. Our conventional conclusions about territory are first, that Australia's federal system has settled around a 'natural' and presumabl

Abstract:

This research examines the potential role of urban planning in helping communities adapt to sea level rise induced hazards such as inundation, storm erosion and shoreline recession, in Western Australia’s urban areas. Applying a qualitative mixed-methods approach, the research finds that modifications to the state coastal planning framework, including associated legislation and existing funding programs, will be needed to enable public authorities to adequately plan and manage for these hazards as sea level rise accelerates.

Abstract:

In 2005 the Liberal government introduced a bill to allow formation of twenty four technical colleges nationally. Withdrawal of funding by the Labor government in 2009 heralded the demise of the colleges. This study is concerned with the effect this action had on a college in Western Australia. The findings revealed lack of foresight and insufficient initial time for establishment of the colleges, no bi-partisan support and questionable management practices after funding withdrawal.

Despite Australia enjoying good relations with both the United States and China at the moment, the long-term prospects are uncertain due to US-China strategic rivalry.

Given the increased interdependency caused by ongoing task differentiation and precarious formal employment, this thesis asks why the stigmatisation of unemployed citizens and the retraction of unemployment benefits have received such widespread support in Australia. I contend that the concepts of dependency and independence, as reflexive but mutually exclusive dual values, are increasingly used as a framework for welfare discourse. I argue that this framework has ethical ramifications for collective well-being in Australia since it discourages citizens from acknowledging their own social an

Abstract:

This thesis contributes to the political science literature by exploring why minor parties arise and decline. This thesis explores the rise of Australian minor parties in Australia from the time of the Labor ‘Split’ in 1955 that led to the formation of the DLP through to the rise and continuing rise of the Australian Greens in the 1990s and beyond. In that time the Australian Democrats emerged in 1977 and in 1996 and 1997 Pauline Hanson’s One Nation first appeared. The thesis goes behind these parties to explore and analyses the underlying factor

Abstract:

Research Doctorate - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)<br>This research aims at studying the sea level variability and determining the Mean Sea Surface (MSS) around Australia using satellite altimetry data in the period from 1993 to 2018. Analysing sea level variation is of a great importance due to its effects on coastal areas. Particularly, several studies have reported the acceleration in the sea level rise mainly due to the anthropogenic impacts. In this respect, determination of the sea level behaviour at the regional scale gives better understanding about the underlying threats of sea level ris

Abstract:

Measuring the progress of nations by only focusing on economic growth is inadequate. New measures such as life satisfaction have been put forward as an option to use alongside gross domestic product (GDP). The notions of life satisfaction or subjective wellbeing have been around for many years as central elements of quality of life, but until recently they were not generally accepted as serious, replicable indicators. During the last two decades, however, there has been an increasing body of evidence showing that life satisfaction can be measured in surveys, and that these are reliable and val

Abstract:

Abstract During the latter half of the twentieth century, Australian technical and further education (TAFE) was developed as a mass system of post-compulsory education. The relatively few national histories of TAFE have been written from the standpoint of policy makers and senior administrators, resulting in a predominantly structuralist interpretation in which the experience and agency of TAFE teachers remain unacknowledged. My thesis seeks to redress this imbalance through a history of the TAFE Teachers' Association of Australia. The Association was established in 1964 as a loose fede

Abstract:

In coming decades, sea level rise will increasingly cause ecosystem change in coastal nearshore environments. Seawater will inundate intertidal and supratidal zones more frequently and for longer durations, some for the first time in nearly 3000 years. Sea level rise will both increase flooding and inundation over the short term, but also cause more long-term progressive inundation through the current unsaturated zone. Little is currently known about how the soil and shallow groundwater will change geochemically from seawater inundation over both these timescales. This thesis aimed to investig

Abstract:

No<br>Since 2000, cases of the neglected tropical disease Buruli ulcer, caused by infection with Mycobacterium ulcerans, have increased 100-fold around Melbourne (population 4.4 million), the capital of Victoria, in temperate southeastern Australia. The reasons for this increase are unclear. Here, we used whole-genome sequence comparisons of 178 M. ulcerans isolates obtained primarily from human clinical specimens, spanning 70 years, to model the population dynamics of this pathogen from this region. Using phylogeographic and advanced Bayesian phylogenetic approaches, we found that there has b

Abstract:

This thesis investigates aspects of the formation and evolution of capitalism in colonial New South Wales. Four principal themes are addressed throughout the discussion: first, the role of British imperialism in establishing and shaping colonial capitalism; second, the role of the British and colonial states in expanding commodity relations; third, the dominant areas and agents involved in capital accumulation, and last, the nature of the class relations and property connections that underpinned these processes. The structure and dynamics of class relations, especially the relations of
