Association of the Ratio of Second to Fourth Digit Length and Phthalate Exposure With Sexual Function in Japanese Men Seeking Fertility Treatment
Sexual dysfunction, which is increasingly recognized as a cause of male infertility, may be influenced by environmental factors such as phthalic acid diesters (phthalates) and prenatal androgen exposure. This study aimed to investigate the association between male sexual function and recent exposure to phthalates and prenatal testosterone. The cross-sectional study included 177 males seeking fertility treatment. The index-to-ring-finger length ra…
Pre-Conceptional Anti-Thyroid Antibodies and Thyroid Function in Association with Natural Conception Rates
Thyroid functioning is an integral part of the endocrine system that supports conception and pregnancy. Frequent consumption of seafood and iodine by Japanese people may adversely affect their thyroid function. Thus, in this study, we aimed to analyze the associations between iodine intake, thyroid hormones, autoimmunity, and natural conception rates in Japanese women trying to conceive their first child. A prospective study of 24 weeks targeted …
The Pinjarra Massacre in the Age of the Statue Wars
The Pinjarra Massacre of 1834 was a large-scale colonial attack on Aboriginal people in Western Australia. Led by Governor James Stirling, a party of British police, soldiers and settlers ambushed a group of Bindjareb Noongar, killing of at least 15 Bindjareb Noongar men by Stirling’s reckoning, and as many as 80 men, women, and children by other accounts. Though the event was widely recorded in the nineteenth-century, this massacre was effaced i…
Fecundability and Sterility by Age
Fecundability, the probability of conception in a month or in a menstrual cycle, varies across and within age groups for both women and men. Fertility treatment has become common in a number of countries including Japan, but its impact on the age pattern of fecundability is unknown. By utilizing the previously collected data on time to pregnancy (TTP) of Japanese couples trying to conceive their first child, the present study aimed to estimate fe…
Coital Frequency and the Probability of Pregnancy in Couples Trying to Conceive Their First Child
Background : Low fertility persists but remains unexplained in Japan. We examined whether the probability of pregnancy was influenced by coital frequency, age, reproductive age (assessed by antimüllerian hormone, AMH), and BMI. Methods: We established a two-year prospective study with a sample of hormonally monitored Japanese women aged 23-34 years wanting to conceive their first child. For a maximum of 24 weeks participants recorded menstrual bl…

J.C. Byrne, Entrepreneurial Imperialism and the Question of Indigenous Rights
This is a study of Joseph C. Byrne, an Irish entrepreneur who embarked on a number of colonial schemes and fashioned himself as an emigration expert. In 1848 he published Twelve Years’ Wanderings in the British Colonies. From 1835 to 1847, followed by a number of emigrant guides to the individual Australian colonies, the Cape of Good Hope and Port Natal. Descriptions of indigenous peoples proliferate throughout Byrne’s guides. While his texts wer…

First Nations Scholars, Settler Colonial Studies, and Indigenous History
Over the last decade or so settler colonial studies has become a key prism through which to interpret the colonial cultures and histories of former British colonies where Indigenous people have since become a marginalised minority in their own homelands, ‘replaced’ by European settlers who sought to ‘eliminate’ them and their connections to the land. Yet, in recent years this approach has been subject to more critical evaluations, key amongst the…
Urinary 8-Hydroxy-2′-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) Concentrations and Menstrual Cycle Characteristics in Female University Students
Higher concentrations of oxidative stress biomarkers are found in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and endometriosis, conditions linked to irregular menstrual cycles and menstrual pain. The aim of the present study was to test whether women with higher oxidative stress are more likely to show irregular menstrual cycles and severe menstrual pain compared with women with lower oxidative stress. A cross-sectional study was conducted targe…
U-shaped association between fertility and mortality in a community-based sample of Japanese women
BACKGROUND: Prospective cohort studies of contemporary populations in both Western and Asian settings have reported a U-shaped association between fertility and mortality. We examined whether an association exists between fertility and all-cause and cause-specific mortality in a sample of Japanese women. METHODS: A prospective cohort study was conducted in one rural and one urban community in Gunma Prefecture, Japan, in 1993. A follow-up survey w…
Brokering in colonial exploration
The history of exploration has often been thought of as a heroic drama in which the explorer is the principal, sometimes exclusive, protagonist and narrator. This edited volume treats exploration as a collective effort and experience involving a variety of people from across social strata and cultures coming together, sometimes for a sustained time, at others only briefly, in various kinds of relationships and interactions, focusing primarily on …
Salivary but not blood cortisol excretion is associated with metabolic biomarkers in healthy young women
OBJECTIVES: Elevated and suppressed concentrations of cortisol have been linked with less favorable metabolic biomarkers, such as elevated lipids and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c). Based on recent work reporting that some individuals secrete more cortisol into saliva (high saliva-to-blood cortisol ratio; high secretors) than others after correcting for blood cortisol concentrations, our objectives were to examine (1) whether lipids and glycosyl…
Brokers and boundaries. Colonial exploration in indigenous territory
Colonial exploration continues, all too often, to be rendered as heroic narratives of solitary, intrepid explorers and adventurers. This edited collection contributes to scholarship that is challenging that persistent mythology. With a focus on Indigenous brokers, such as guides, assistants and mediators, it highlights the ways in which nineteenth-century exploration in Australia and New Guinea was a collective and socially complex enterprise. Ma…
Making Connections and Attachments
This article traces the history of biographies about Indigenous Australian people, and suggests key differences in approach between Indigenous and non-Indigenous biographers. Through a study of two Aboriginal men—Gogy and Bungin—this article suggests that by emulating Indigenous approaches and explicitly acknowledging our connection and attachment to the subject, we can better discern the lives of historical Indigenous figures as individuals
Exploration archives and indigenous histories
Since the 1990s, a number of scholars have sought to uncover 'hidden histories' of exploration, as Felix Driver and Lowri Jones have referred to it. 1 Working against a conventional emphasis on the exploits and achievements of the singular heroic explorer, imperial and colonial exploration is recast as a collective enterprise involving a diverse labour force and upon which expeditions were dependent for their progress and success. 2 Various appro…
The Aboriginal Story of Burke and Wills
The Aboriginal Male in the Enlightenment World
This is the first historical study of indigenous Australian masculinity. Using the reactions of eighteenth-century western explorers to Aboriginal men, Konishi argues that these encounters were not as negative as has been thought
Indigenous Intermediaries
This edited collection understands exploration as a collective effort and experience involving a variety of people in diverse kinds of relationships. It engages with the recent resurgence of interest in the history of exploration by focusing on the various indigenous intermediaries - Jacky Jacky, Bungaree, Moowattin, Tupaia, Mai, Cheealthluc and lesser-known individuals - who were the guides, translators, and hosts that assisted and facilitated E…
Working for the railways
In 1995 Ann Curthoys and Clive Moore published “Working for the White People”, a key essay on Indigenous labour historiography. They called for scholars to consider the history of Indigenous people's experience of work in terms of labour and not race relations. In this special issue devoted to celebrating Ann Curthoys' career, we take up the challenge by writing a history of the Torres Strait Islanders who moved to the mainland to work on the con…
Significant sex difference in the association between C‐reactive protein concentration and anthropometry among 13‐ to 19‐year olds, but not 6‐ to 12‐year olds in Nepal
Life history theory predicts a trade‐off between immunostimulation and growth. Using a cross‐sectional study design, this study aims to test the hypothesis that C‐reactive protein (CRP) is negatively associated with height‐for‐age z ‐scores (HAZ scores) and BMI‐for‐age z ‐scores (BAZ scores) among 6‐ to 19‐year olds ( N = 426) residing in five Nepalese communities. Dried blood spot (DBS) samples were collected and assayed for CRP using an in‐hous…

Over two volumes, this major work of reference tells the nation's social, political and cultural story. Volume 1 examines Australia's indigenous and colonial history through to the Federation of the colonies in 1901. Volume 2 opens with the birth of the twentieth century, tracing developments in the nation through…
Salivary concentration of progesterone and cortisol significantly differs across individuals after correcting for blood hormone values
Between‐individual variation of salivary progesterone (P4) and cortisol levels does not always closely reflect blood hormone concentrations. This may be partly a function of individual differences in salivary hormone excretion. We tested whether time of day at sampling and ethnicity contributed to individual variation in salivary hormones after adjusting for blood hormone levels. Forty‐three Caucasian and 15 Japanese women (18–34 years) collected…
Energy and Nutrient Intake of Tongan Adults Estimated by 24-Hour Recall
Tongan adults show one of the highest prevalences of obesity in the world. The present study aims to estimate Tongans' energy and nutrient intakes and food sources using a 24-hour recall survey for 14 days targeting 15 men and 19 women. The mean (SD) daily energy intake was 12.2 (2.3) MJ for men and 10.6 (2.2) MJ for women. Imported foods accounted for about half of their energy and macronutrient intakes, but for much less of their micronutrients…

Inhabited by a race of formidable giants’
Introduction This paper concerns a very small episode in Australian history that few would be aware of: a failed fishing expedition off Shark Bay, Western Australia, in 1803, which culminated in two cross-cultural encounters between French explorers and local Aboriginal men. The few scholars who are familiar with this incident generally explain it away in a brief sentence or two—for instance Colin Dyer simply states that ‘the French experienced t…

The four fathers of Australia
Baz Luhrmann’s epic film Australia was widely criticised for its depiction of the past when it was released in late 2008. This article suggests that such criticisms myopically centred on historical details, exaggerating the film’s purportedly inauthentic representation of the past. By analysing its portrayal of the four father figures in the film I will examine how Australia engages with the histories of inter-racial sexual relations and the gove…
