“The morass is just getting … deeper and deeper and deeper”
With the arrival of generative AI (genAI) in 2022, waves of hype and handwringing struck the news industry. These initial responses have proved overblown, if not without foundation. The challenges and opportunities of synthetic media for news are real, if more humdrum than the hype would suggest. In this paper, we draw from a two-phase qualitative study to explore how these challenges and opportunities have manifested in Australian newsrooms. We …
What differentiates sexual from non-sexual homicides? A case–control study
Research comparing sexual homicide (SH) and non-sexual homicide (NSH) has been rare outside North America and Europe and has contributed to addressing whether SH is primarily a sexual or homicide offence or a hybrid. This case–control study compared 142 SH and 142 NSH cases from Australia and New Zealand. Bivariate analyses indicated SH offenders more often had sexual problems, lacked intimacy, and appeared more prosocial, had less serious mental…
Murdering the person closest to you
Sexual homicides (SHs) demand nuanced research for effective prevention, treatment, risk assessment and theoretical insights. Intimate‐partner sexual homicides (IPSHs), comprising approximately 20% of SHs, have received limited attention. This study compares IPSHs ( n = 56) and non‐intimate partner sexual homicides (NIPSHs) ( n = 236) in Australia and New Zealand by investigating offender, victim, and crime‐scene characteristics. While IPSH perpe…

Australia and China
Australians have become increasingly familiar with China in the decades since the Whitlam government (1972–1975) formally recognised the People’s Republic of China. The government instructed its first Ambassador that Australia wanted “friendship, cooperation and mutual trust, comparable with that which we have, or seek, with other major powers”. This represented a significant shift in the way that China was framed in Australian discourse. However…
On the Coherence of Plato's Philosophers
Because Plato's Philosophers : The Coherence of the Dialogues is such a monumental book, understanding its own coherence is a daunting task. The dialogue Theaetetus has as its theme the problem of knowledge, and so the part of Plato's Philosophers that deals with the Theaetetus seems a promising place to begin to think through what Zuckert's book means to be as a whole. In the Theaetetus we learn how knowledge, as a story that must begin and unfo…

Academy-profession-market. Problematising tensions in the live project
This paper examines a form of “live project” that casts the design studio topic in three distinct roles. In one guise it is a collaborative, “real world,” engagement with a range of stakeholders. In another it presses toward the production of buildings, while in a third, it acts as the vehicle for higher level academic design research. Within the design studio at the University of Auckland, School of Architecture and Planning these three imperati…
Marketing Body Parts
This article offers an economic (market-based) argument for prohibiting not only transplant commercialism (trafficking and tourism) but also donation of quasi-replaceable body parts (such as first kidney) that require the mutilation of a living human body (turning a part of a person that does not regenerate into a thing to be implanted in another). The argument relies on the concept of pollution (negative effects of a market that fall on particip…
Self, Consciousness and Agency in The Egoist
This article re-reads representations of the self and agency in George Meredith’s The Egoist (1879) by drawing new connections between the novel and Victorian psychological theory. Critical discussions of The Egoist and psychological themes have rightly stressed the many ways in which, in Meredith’s novel, impersonal forces, biological, physiological and ideological, threaten to obliterate any notion of the self as discrete and autonomous. Yet Me…

Lies like the truth
How is it possible that we can be so deeply affected by poetry even when we are not altogether sure what it is about? By way of interpreting a Platonic dialog, “Lies Like the Truth: On Plato’s Lesser Hippias” links this human capacity to our ability to lie, which, in turn, grounds our ability to tell the truth. Truth-telling requires the option of not telling the truth—it cannot simply be mechanical; it thus always involves looking at the world t…
Entangled Tropical Knowledges
Footsteps mark the land as people walk through the north eastern Queensland tropics. Here, in the mid-1800s, botanical explorers from the survey ship HMS Rattlesnake scour their newly encountered environment for species that will be sent as specimens to the growing collections in London. Local Aboriginal people walk with them, perhaps as guides, possibly interpreters. The narratives for this voyage refer to some individual Aboriginal people who a…
Plato's Minos
The account of law in Plato's Minos is on its surface strange. Law is both what “wants to be the finding out of what is” and “the finding out of what is.” It is a faculty in us like sight or hearing, and its stability requires that it be independent of us. It makes universal claims but always does so for a particular people in a particular place. Law must be grounded in what is beyond the law, and yet, once established, must assert its own final …
Conflict of Interest
Conflict of interest occurs if and only if P is in a relationship with one or more others requiring P to exercise judgment in their behalf, and P has a (special) interest tending to interfere with the proper exercise of judgment in that relationship. P may be an individual, corporation, or other decision‐making entity. A conflict of interest creates a loss of objectivity making P 's judgment significantly less reliable than it would otherwise. A …
Liberty, Property and Popular Politics
A broad, richly detailed examination of the cultural, political and social history of Britain's long eighteenth centuryFew scholars can claim to have shaped the historical study of the long eighteenth century more profoundly than Professor H. T. Dickinson, who, until his retirement in 2006, held the Sir Richard Lodge Chair of British History at the University of Edinburgh. This volume, based on contributions from Professor Dickinson's students, f…
Hidden” Social Networks in Behavior Change Interventions
We investigated whether “hidden” (or unobserved) social networks were evident in a 2011 physical activity behavior change intervention in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Results showed evidence of unobserved social networks in the intervention and illustrated how the network evolved over short periods and affected behavior. Behavior change interventions should account for the interaction among participants (i.e., social networks) and how such interact…
Increased NQO1 but Not c-MET and Survivin Expression in Non-Small Cell Lung Carcinoma with KRAS Mutations
Cigarette smoking is one of the most significant public health issues and the most common environmental cause of preventable cancer deaths worldwide. EGFR (Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor)-targeted therapy has been used in the treatment of LC (lung cancer), mainly caused by the carcinogens in cigarette smoke, with variable success. Presence of mutations in the KRAS (Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog) driver oncogene may confer worse pro…
Clinical and Metabolic Parameters in Non-Small Cell Lung Carcinoma and Colorectal Cancer Patients with and without KRAS Mutations
Lung cancer (LC) and colorectal cancer (CRC) are the first and second deadliest types of cancer worldwide. EGFR-based therapy has been used in the treatment of these cancers with variable success. Presence of mutations in the KRAS driver oncogene, possibly induced by environmental factors such as carcinogens in diet and cigarette smoke, may confer worse prognosis and resistance to treatment for reasons not fully understood. Data on possible assoc…
Between Peace and War
The subject of this article is not (primarily) state-sanctioned assassination of high officials but of lower officials, such as scientists or engineers working for Iran's nuclear program. The following seem to be the main arguments that might be offered as moral justification of such killing of another state's civilian officials: policing, execution, war, self-defense, defense of the innocent, necessity, fairness, retribution, reasons of state, b…
Popular Fiction and Brain Science in the Late Nineteenth Century
This book forms part of a wider recent move among scholars of Victorian psychology and fiction, towards considering the impact of the ‘hard’, biological sciences on concepts of the self in the period. Extending the earlier groundbreaking work of Shuttleworth, Rylance and others, Nicholas Dames (2007), for instance, has examined the connections between physiological theory and the ways in which the Victorians understood reading, Richard Menke (200…
What to consider when preparing a model core curriculum for GIS ethics
The purpose of this article is to provide a summary of what is known about teaching ethics in engineering, science, and related disciplines. Such a summary should provide a useful starting point for preparation of a detailed curriculum for teaching the ethics of geo-coded information systems broadly understood (“GIS ethics” for short). It attempts to answer the following questions: What is “ethics” for the purpose of GIS? What is teaching ethics?…
Mind and Matter in the Picture of Dorian Gray
In chapter 8 of Dorian Gray , Dorian reflects on the terrifying discovery, which he has made the previous night, that the painting has been somehow altered to express his own moral state. He speculates thus on a possible explanation for the change in the picture: Was there some subtle affinity between the chemical atoms, that shaped themselves into form and colour on the canvas, and the soul that was within him? Could it be that what that soul th…

A Government of Judges
In 1921, Edouard Lambert, a professor of law at Lyon specializing in comparative studies and founder of an Institute of Comparative Law there, published a book, Le Gouvernement des judges et la lutte contra la legislation sociale aux Etats-Unis, thus singlehandedly creating the phrase, a "government of judges", to denote a truly unconstrained system of judicial review which could not be limited even by constitutional amendment. The phrase quickly…

What’s Wrong with Character Education
We can distinguish three sorts of “character education”: (1) simple moral education (essentially, Kohlbergian moral education in the classroom), (2) just‐community education (a Deweyesque practice emphasizing democratic decision making outside the classroom), and (3) simple character education (attempting to build character both in and outside of class one trait at a time by emphasizing good behavior). Simple moral education may have a modest eff…
Neural systems involved in fear and anxiety measured with fear-potentiated startle
A good deal is now known about the neural circuitry involved in how conditioned fear can augment a simple reflex (fear-potentiated startle). This involves visual or auditory as well as shock pathways that project via the thalamus and perirhinal or insular cortex to the basolateral amygdala (BLA). The BLA projects to the central (CeA) and medial (MeA) nuclei of the amygdala, which project indirectly to a particular part of the acoustic startle pat…
Laskar Jihad and the Political Position of Conservative Islam in Indonesia
Introduction The 11 September 2001 terrorist attacks in the United States have focused unprecedented attention on militant Muslim groups across the world and prompted strategists and commentators alike to scour the globe for possible targets in the Bush Administration's war against terrorism. In the case of Indonesia, considerable coverage has been devoted to the militant conservative Muslim group, Laskar Jihad, and allegations of links between t…
That Odious Class of Men Called Democrats’
Daniel Isaac Eaton was one of London's leading radical publishers during the 1790s, co‐ordinating his printing and bookselling business with his active involvement in the metropolitan reform movement. After enduring a sequence of trials in 1793 and 1794, on charges of publishing seditious libels, Eaton's reputation reached a peak during the years 1794–5. His bookshop functioned as an important rendezvous for radicals living in London and those di…

Indigenous Knowledge
This paper interrogates the emphasis on devising regimes for protection of Indigenous knowledge, based on narrowly defined concepts of property, especially intellectual property in legislative and policy discussions and debates and programs of work on Indigenous knowledge. Commenting on the classificatory and typological tendencies of legislative protection regimes, the paper argues for a shift from this emphasis on protection, toward the creatio…

Two groups of children in sixth grade were given three tasks: memory for a set of 24 pictures, Olson's Buttonboard task, and 20 Questions. The two groups were both Australian, one group with Australian parents, the other with parents who were Greek immigrants. All children were drawn from the same classrooms. Nonetheless, some differences appeared on the Buttonboard task, differences that disappeared under explicit instructions to minimize the nu…
Chemical Stimulation of the Midbrain Reticular System
An intracerebral cannula system was surgically implanted in each of 21 rats. The responses of each S were observed following the temporary deposition of acetylcholine chloride, sodium pentothal, 1-epinephrine, or the placement of a blank cannula. Acetylcholine produced drinking in the hypothalamus and stereotyped standing postures in the reticular system Ss. Sodium pentothal produced an increment in feeding responses in the ventrolateral-reticula…
