The role of leadership in medical trainee team-regulation dynamics in crisis resource management simulation education
Medical trainees' emotions and their effects on perceptions of performance and team mood in team‐based simulations
BACKGROUND: Emotions affect performance in learning contexts; however, their effects on medical trainees' performance in highly ecologically valid settings, like team-based simulation training, are not well understood. It is therefore imperative to know which emotions are experienced by medical trainees and the impacts of these emotions on perceptions of performance and team mood. AIMS: To extend the understanding of medical trainees' emotions in…
Coal transitions—part 2: Phase-out dynamics in global long-term mitigation scenarios
A rapid phase-out of unabated coal use is essential to limit global warming to below 2 °C. This review presents a comprehensive assessment of coal transitions in mitigation scenarios consistent with the Paris Agreement, using data from more than 1500 publicly available scenarios generated by more than 30 integrated assessment models. Our ensemble analysis uses clustering techniques to categorize coal transition pathways in models and bridges evid…
Legitimizing energy transitions through community participation: Germany and Australia at a crossroad
Public acceptance is central to the success of a transition agenda but with the increasing uptake of renewable energy technology, achieving and sustaining the public legitimacy for accelerating the energy transition is at risk. This study provides an updated account of the energy transition development in Germany and Australia with a focus on institutional legitimation. Drawing on the distinction between input and output legitimacy, we query how …
Examining the relationship between emotion variability, self-regulated learning, and task performance in an intelligent tutoring system
Coal transitions—part 1: A systematic map and review of case study learnings from regional, national, and local coal phase-out experiences
A rapid coal phase-out is needed to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement, but is hindered by serious challenges ranging from vested interests to the risks of social disruption. To understand how to organize a global coal phase-out, it is crucial to go beyond cost-effective climate mitigation scenarios and learn from the experience of previous coal transitions. Despite the relevance of the topic, evidence remains fragmented throughout different r…
Making Social Policy in Australia: An Introduction
Political leadership on climate change: The role of health in Obama-era U.S. climate policies
Urgent and ambitious climate action is required to avoid catastrophic climate change and consequent health impacts. Political will is a critical component of the ambitious climate action equation. The current level of political will observed for many national governments is considered inadequate, with numerous political leaders yet to commit to climate action commensurate with the projected risks and responsibilities for their respective jurisdic…
Climate change and mental health: Risks, impacts and priority actions
BACKGROUND: This article provides an overview of the current and projected climate change risks and impacts to mental health and provides recommendations for priority actions to address the mental health consequences of climate change. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: The authors argue the following three points: firstly, while attribution of mental health outcomes to specific climate change risks remains challenging, there are a number of opportunitie…
The Political Economy of Health Co-Benefits: Embedding Health in the Climate Change Agenda
A complex, whole-of-economy issue such as climate change demands an interdisciplinary, multi-sectoral response. However, evidence suggests that human health has remained elusive in its influence on the development of ambitious climate change mitigation policies for many national governments, despite a recognition that the combustion of fossil fuels results in pervasive short- and long-term health consequences. We use insights from literature on t…
A scenario process to inform Australian geoengineering policy
The great energy transition of the 21st century: The 2050 Zero-Carbon World Oration
The Role of Health Co-Benefits in the Development of Australian Climate Change Mitigation Policies
Reducing domestic carbon dioxide and other associated emissions can lead to short-term, localized health benefits. Quantifying and incorporating these health co-benefits into the development of national climate change mitigation policies may facilitate the adoption of stronger policies. There is, however, a dearth of research exploring the role of health co-benefits on the development of such policies. To address this knowledge gap, research was …
Barriers to effective climate change mitigation: The case of senior government and business decision makers
While the case for rapid reductions in greenhouse gas emissions is compelling, actions being taken by most senior decision makers (SDMs) in government and business compound the problem. Given the systemic reach of much senior decision making, including decisions that constrain their own actions, there is an urgent need to open up the SDM black box. Focused on Western governments and multinational corporations, this article examines a cross‐discip…

Developing and using local community wellbeing indicators: Learning from the experience of Community Indicators Victoria
The recent upsurge of interest in local community wellbeing indicators in Australia and internationally reflects growing awareness of their importance as a platform for citizen engagement, community planning, and evidence based policy making. More broadly community wellbeing indicators are part of an international movement towards rethinking the ways in which political priorities are debated and in which progress and wellbeing are defined and mea…
Resettling Refugees in Rural and Regional Australia: Learning from Recent Policy and Program Initiatives
Conscious policy and program support for the resettlement of refugees in regional and rural areas is a relatively recent trend in Australia. Resettlement is a complex process that hinges on the establishment of viable communities. This review suggests that its outcomes, especially for refugee communities, are potentially mixed. However, an appropriately resourced, well managed and well planned refugee resettlement program can potentially provide …
Hope, despair and transformation: Climate change and the promotion of mental health and wellbeing
Local Heroes? Learning from Recent Community Strengthening Initiatives in Victoria 1
Policies and programs which aim to strength the engagement, connectedness and resilience of local communities have increasingly become a core element in public policy responses to the challenges posed by globalising social and economic relations. However, for many politicians, policy makers and citizens the conceptual framework and practical benefits of ‘community strengthening’ remain vague and unclear. This article aims to contribute to debates…
Navigating the Future: A Case Study of Growing Victoria Together
In an increasingly volatile, uncertain and complex world governments internationally are seeking new frameworks to think about future directions which can guide policy choices that can be turned into realities. This article presents an insiders' case study of the initial development of the Victorian Labor government's Growing Victoria Together, launched in November 2001; it expresses the vision, policy priorities and its key progress measures. It…

Globalisation and its Discontents
Most analyses of globalization convey the message that it is an unstoppable force sweeping away national sovereignty and inevitably creating a brave new world of borderless and boundless consumerism
Global Nation: Australia and the Politics of Globalisation
Globalisation was one of the most ubiquitous buzzwords of the late twentieth century, yet its meaning was often elusive. Retrenchments, trade alliances, global warming, currency devaluations, and so on are often explained as unavoidable consequences of globalisation, and even everyday things - from the food we eat to the television we watch and the clothes we wear - are apparently impacted upon by globalisation. This 1998 book provides an accessi…

Urban Riots in West Africa, 1977-85
My aim is to examine one particular mode of political participation: the urban riot. In the West African context its importance is enhanced by the fact that there exist few, if any, other ways in which the mass of the population can participate in the political process and seek to bring some influence to bear upon governments. For most of the time, in the majority of states in the region, constitutional mechanisms for influencing governments have…
