The Government and Copyright

The Government as Proprietor, Preserver and User of Copyright Material Under the Copyright Act 1968

By: John S Gilchrist

The Government and Copyright: The Government as Proprietor, Preserver and User of Copyright Material Under the Copyright Act 1968 focuses on the interplay between law, policy and practice in copyright law by investigating the rights of the government as the copyright owner, the preserver of copyright material and the user of other's copyright material under the Copyright Act 1968 (Cth). The first of two recurring themes in the book asks the question whether the needs and status of government should be different from private sector institutions, which also obtain copyright protection under the law. The second theme aims to identify the relationship between government copyright law and policy, national cultural policy and fundamental governance values. "As the first authoritative treatise on government copyright to be published in Australia, this book will be of immediate interest and relevance to Australian lawyers and policy makers, particularly in the light of ongoing efforts to ensure that the intellectual property system stimulates innovation and fosters trade and investment. Given that government copyright is recognised to some extent in most countries worldwide, this book is a valuable contribution to the international literature on this topic, which remains sparse." From the Introduction by Dr Anne Fitzgerald and Prof. Brian Fitzgerald

The Construction of Truth in Contemporary Media Narratives about Risk

By: John Gaffey

The Construction of Truth in Contemporary Media Narratives about Risk provides a theoretical framework for how, in a post-truth era, media audiences are able to understand and navigate everyday risk. The book examines media risk narratives and explores forms of truth, experiential knowledge, and authority. Using the concept of parrhesia to show how we invest trust in various types of knowledge in a changing media environment, the book demonstrates how we choose between expert and non-expert information when navigating a seemingly risky world. It considers how news media formats have previously engaged audiences through risk narratives and examines how experiential knowledge has come to hold a valuable place for individuals navigating what we are often told is an increasingly risky and uncertain world. The book also examines the increasingly precarious position of expert knowledge and examines how contemporary truth-games play out between experts and non-experts, and considers how this extends into the world of online and social media. This book will be of interest to those researching or teaching in the areas of criminology, sociology, media and cultural studies, and of interest to readers in professional areas such as journalism and politics.

Family Medicine

Obstetrical Ultrasound

Family Medicine

Obstetrical Ultrasound

By: John R. MacMillan Rodney

Specialization has driven medical practice over the last century. Expanding knowledge has increased the physician workforce but has decreased the proportion of general family doctors, leaving rural areas with critical physician shortages. In 1978 almost half of family physicians delivered babies. By 2005 this number decreased to 23 percent. Although many recognize the broad medical and surgical skills required in remote Africa, few recognize the need for similar skills among doctors in rural America. These physicians blend family and emergency medicine with specific skills from obstetrics, gynecology, and general surgery. Many family doctors provide extensive women’s health services, including cancer screening, prenatal care, and cesarean delivery. This work is written for these physicians. In rural areas, most women cannot leave their communities to have children. Extensive travel for prenatal care and delivery has detrimental economic and social consequences. Although rural counties provide quality care, they cannot afford an array of technicians, nurses, and physicians trained in obstetrics, gynecology, surgery, neonatology, and critical care. Drawing from my mentors’ and family’s experiences in Texas and Tennessee, I realized that there was no formal ultrasound curriculum for family doctors providing rural obstetrical care. The majority of texts have been written for ultrasound technicians performing examinations and subspecialists interpreting the acquired images. Historically, family physicians have played a prominent role in obstetrical patient safety and care, as seen through the continued success of the Advanced Life Support in Obstetrics (ALSO) curriculum. Although the ALSO course provides valuable training, I argue that a formal program for physician performed obstetrical ultrasound is equally, if not more, important. Ultrasound is the basis for obstetrical risk stratification. Without basic skills, physicians may inadvertently put mothers and children at risk. For example, a physician in west Texas should not trend beta hCG levels over two days when evaluating a suspected ectopic pregnancy. Any suspected threat to pregnancy should be investigated immediately at the point of care to avoid unnecessary delays that may lead to maternal or fetal death. This text serves as a rational but not exhaustive introduction to obstetrical ultrasound for the physician providing women’s health services in remote or resource-poor settings. This text distills volumes of information found in advanced obstetrical textbooks as well as recent American and European literature. The referenced articles come from a variety of journals and represent many specialties. Ultimately, we desire to promote patient safety and improve care and welcome any suggestions or ideas that help achieve this goal. Thank you for selecting this text; we hope it serves you and your patients well.

Heterocyclic Chemistry

By: John A. Joule,Keith Mills

This book has so closely matched the requirements of its readership over the years that it has become the first choice for chemists worldwide. Heterocyclic chemistry comprises at least half of all organic chemistry research worldwide. In particular, the vast majority of organic work done in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries is heterocyclic chemistry. The fifth edition of Heterocyclic Chemistry maintains the principal objective of earlier editions – to teach the fundamentals of heterocyclic reactivity and synthesis in a way that is understandable to second- and third-year undergraduate chemistry students. The inclusion of more advanced and current material also makes the book a valuable reference text for postgraduate taught courses, postgraduate researchers, and chemists at all levels working with heterocyclic compounds in industry. Fully updated and expanded to reflect important 21st century advances, the fifth edition of this classic text includes the following innovations: Extensive use of colour to highlight changes in structure and bonding during reactions Entirely new chapters on organometallic heterocyclic chemistry, heterocyclic natural products, especially in biochemical processes, and heterocycles in medicine New sections focusing on heterocyclic fluorine compounds, isotopically labeled heterocycles, and solid-phase chemistry, microwave heating and flow reactors in the heterocyclic context Essential teaching material in the early chapters is followed by short chapters throughout the text which capture the essence of heterocyclic reactivity in concise resumés suitable as introductions or summaries, for example for examination preparation. Detailed, systematic discussions cover the reactivity and synthesis of all the important heterocyclic systems. Original references and references to reviews are given throughout the text, vital for postgraduate teaching and for research scientists. Problems, divided into straightforward revision exercises, and more challenging questions (with solutions available online), help the reader to understand and apply the principles of heterocyclic reactivity and synthesis.
