The epistemic judgement framework
The need for Quality Physical Education to provide the many benefits the subject offers is well established. Unfortunately, in too many areas ineffective teaching and learning practices are limiting the profession’s response to children’s developmental needs. Many teachers’ professional development interventions are criticised as not enabling the required philosophical, and pedagogical shifts that are needed to improve practice and student outcom…
Gender Culture or Gender System? Family Gender Arrangements and Stay‐At‐Home Fathers in Late‐Twentieth‐Century Australia
This article asks: what are the factors that encourage and enable, or require and force, some fathers to reduce employment and stay home with children? It draws upon a conceptual model which examines how ‘gender cultures’ and ‘gender systems’ shape ‘gender arrangements’ of work and family life. The article uses evidence from oral history interviews conducted with men who were stay‐at‐home fathers in late‐twentieth‐century Australia. It concludes …
Understanding and assessing uncertainty of observational climate datasets for model evaluation using ensembles
In climate science, observational gridded climate datasets that are based on in situ measurements serve as evidence for scientific claims and they are used to both calibrate and evaluate models. However, datasets only represent selected aspects of the real world, so when they are used for a specific purpose they can be a source of uncertainty. Here, we present a framework for understanding this uncertainty of observational datasets which distingu…
Popular Gallipoli history and the representation of Australian military manhood
Though scholarly historians have debated and debunked Australia’s Anzac legend, popular histories continue to popularise a particular version of Australian military manhood and attribute Australian military success to national character. This study of the bestselling Gallipoli histories by Les Carlyon and Peter FitzSimons explores the extent to which they draw upon Charles Bean’s foundational history and recreate an Anzac legend that resonates wi…
Managing Sport Mega-Events
In this chapter we will illustrate the significance of sport event leverage in the context of large-scale and sport mega-events. We first introduce the different areas of event leverage, before discussing the specific strategies and tactics related to the concept. Moreover, we provide case studies to illustrate sport event leverage in practice and highlight challenges and limitations

The RCP greenhouse gas concentrations and their extensions from 1765 to 2300
We present the greenhouse gas concentrations for the Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs) and their extensions beyond 2100, the Extended Concentration Pathways (ECPs). These projections include all major anthropogenic greenhouse gases and are a result of a multi-year effort to produce new scenarios for climate change research. We combine a suite of atmospheric concentration observations and emissions estimates for greenhouse gases (GHGs) …
Harmonization of land-use scenarios for the period 1500–2100
In preparation for the fifth Assessment Report (AR5) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the international community is developing new advanced Earth System Models (ESMs) to assess the combined effects of human activities (e.g. land use and fossil fuel emissions) on the carbon-climate system. In addition, four Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) scenarios of the future (2005–2100) are being provided by four Integrated …

Female streetworker—prostitutes in Glasgrow
The objective of this study is to describe the lifestyle of a group of female prostitutes. The collection of information was achieved by: (i) using a self administered questionnaire; and (ii) conducting conversational type interviews. Of 85 women attending a health care drop-in centre for female street prostitutes in Glasgow, 63 completed the questionnaire and 72 participated in conversational interviews. For 63 women the mean age of commencement…
