Increasing access to simulation opportunities for emergent cricothyrotomy using a 3D model and positive pressure
BACKGROUND: Inexpensive, accessible models for simulation are essential to prepare providers to perform cricothyrotomy (CT), a rarely performed but critical procedure. We assessed a portable and inexpensive open-sourced 3D printed CT model versus a routine simulation model for training. METHODS: Residents and fellows of an academic Emergency Medicine (EM) program were randomized to complete a training session for CT with a conventional mannequin …
Understanding Australia’s teacher shortage
Australian policymakers are currently attempting to address an ‘unprecedented teacher shortage’. Through a survey of 905 teachers in Australian government schools, this paper examines some of the key factors influencing the career intentions of teachers in Australian government schools. Drawing upon the concept of the psychosocial work environment from the field of occupational health, this analysis examines the relationship between key workplace…
Teachers’ working conditions, wellbeing and retention
This article investigates the key factors associated with Australian teachers' intentions to leave their roles by examining their working conditions, experiences of work and mental health through the concept of the psychosocial work environment. Utilising a dataset of 744 primary and secondary teachers in mainstream Australian government schools, we applied confirmatory factor analysis to validate the measurement model of teachers’ working condit…
Validation and benchmarks for the Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire (Copsoq III) in an Australian working population sample
The present study provides a high-level validation of the long version of COPSOQ, and thus supports its use as an instrument for research as well as psychosocial risk assessment and management in Australia
The mental health of leaders in Australian government schools
There is growing evidence that the complex and demanding nature of school leadership subjects many professionals in leadership positions to work-related strain and risk of mental health problems. This study analyses 16,460 survey responses from Government School leaders in general education settings, completed between 2011–2020, from the Australian Principal Occupational Health, Safety and Wellbeing survey. Over the 10-year period, almost one-thi…
Offensive behaviours against school leaders
Offensive behaviour towards school employees is widespread and involves a number of potentially harmful acts. There is evidence that school employees’ experiences of offensive behaviour are shaped by demographic, role and school-based factors that mediate the likelihood of victimisation. However, very few studies have investigated the prevalence and correlates of offensive behaviour against school leaders. This study analysed 13,028 survey respon…
A national study of New Zealand primary-school teaching professionals’ experiences of offensive behavior at the workplace
Although a reported concern, few studies have investigated both prevalence and moderating variables associated with offensive behaviors experienced by teaching professionals. This study analyzed 2866 survey responses of New Zealand teaching professionals in 991 primary schools to determine the prevalence of key offensive behaviors against teaching professionals, the main perpetrators of these offenses, and the impact key socio-demographic variabl…
Is India’s Right to Education Act a Rightful Share? Distributive Politics, Education and the Media
India’s Right to Education Act contains a provision requiring private schools to educate underprivileged children without charging fees, hinting at a new politics of distribution akin to James Ferguson’s notion of the ‘rightful share’. Through analysis of coverage of this provision in English language newspapers, we argue that the role of the media in building legitimacy for a ‘rightful share’ is undermined: by critics’ representations of a marke…

Regulating private sector schooling in the global south
In recent years, international development organisations have responded to concerns about the growth of private schooling in the global south by calling on governments to commit to quality public provision and effective regulation of the private sector. This paper draws on the case of India’s experience with the Right to Education Act to consider the challenges that nations face in attempting to regulate private sector participation in education.…
Music and War
Art Music and the Holocaust
Composers of art music (as opposed to popular or folk music) have written over 60 compositions during the past 45 years which deal with the Holocaust. This study examines how composers treat the Holocaust in music and the novel techniques they use to express their sorrow or outrage about the tragedy. This article examines compositions by Schoenberg, Shostakovich, Górecki, Nono, Penderecki, Reich, and others to illustrate the significance of these…
