Organizational responses to the Covid-19 pandemic in Victoria, Australia
Objective: Organizational responses that support healthcare workers (HCWs) and mitigate health risks are necessary to offset the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. We aimed to understand how HCWs and key personnel working in healthcare settings in Melbourne, Australia perceived their employing organizations' responses to the COVID-19 pandemic. Method: In this qualitative study, conducted May-July 2021 as part of the longitudinal Coronavirus in Vict…
Stronger Arctic amplification from ozone-depleting substances than from carbon dioxide
Arctic amplification (AA)—the greater warming of the Arctic near-surface temperature relative to its global mean value—is a prominent feature of the climate response to increasing greenhouse gases. Recent work has revealed the importance of ozone-depleting substances (ODS) in contributing to Arctic warming and sea-ice loss. Here, using ensembles of climate model integrations, we expand on that work and directly contrast Arctic warming from ODS to…
Mental Health Outcomes in Australian Healthcare and Aged-Care Workers during the Second Year of the Covid-19 Pandemic
Australian HCWs employed during 2021 experienced adverse mental health outcomes, with prevalence differences observed according to occupation. Longitudinal evidence is needed to inform workplace strategies that support the physical and mental wellbeing of HCWs at organisational and state policy levels
Modeling evidence for large, Enso-driven interannual wintertime Amoc variability
Recently established North Atlantic ocean observing arrays, such as RAPID/MOCHA, have revealed a large degree of high-frequency variability in the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC). Climate modeling studies of the AMOC, however, have traditionally focused on the low-frequency variability of the annual mean AMOC, with an emphasis on multi-decadal and longer time-scale variability. Thus, little is known about the sources of interan…

The surface impacts of Arctic stratospheric ozone anomalies
In the Arctic stratosphere, total column ozone in the spring can vary, from year to year, by as much as 30%. This large interannual variability, however, is absent from many present-generation climate models, in which the prescribed seasonal cycle of stratospheric ozone includes, at best, smooth multi-decadal trends. We here investigate the extent to which interannual variability in Arctic stratospheric ozone is able to affect the surface climate…
Raising Medical Students’ Awareness of Nutrition and Fitness in Disease Prevention
At the University of Iowa we devised a learning experience, called the Nutrition and Fitness Program, for third-year medical students. The program was designed to raise awareness of the role of nutrition and exercise in the prevention and treatment of disease. Students spent one afternoon learning about their personal health risk factors, such as body mass index, percent body fat, other anthropometric measures such as waist, hip and mid-arm circu…
The Fabrication or Induction of Illness in Children with Complex Needs
Consideration of the abuse of disabled children has been described as thinking the unthinkable. Realising that a disabled child's condition could itself be the result of physical abuse or neglect takes this thinking one step further. Even more disturbing is the possibility that a parent may deliberately exacerbate the effects of their disabled child's existing impairment by falsely describing symptoms, seeking unnecessary treatment or inappropria…

During the last decade, computers have provided additional opportunities to practice structures and vocabulary in a written extension of the exercises once only found in audio labs or textbook drills and exercises.' Now, computers have the capacity to offer highly creative and in…

Lotus 123 as a Gradebook
This paper describes use of a powerful commercial spreadsheet program, Lotus 1–2‐3, to design a computerized gradebook for foreign language classes. Reduction in teacher time spent on grade calculation, convenience of frequent and detailed feedback to students, enhanced accuracy, and efficiency are discussed as benefits ofcomputerized gradebooks

Moving Spanish Language Programs into the 80's
In a Letter-to-the Editor (December 1985), Beth L. Losiewicz questions the role of Spanish teachers in the development of new teaching methodologies: Why is the English as a Second Language community on the cutting edge of this new research while we seem to ignore it, complacently burying our heads in the sand and calling ourselves professional educators?
