A further five species are at moderate–high risk (30–50% chance), primarily due to climate change. Fourteen of the 26 frog species are endemic to Queensland, with many species restricted to small geographic ranges that are susceptible to stochastic events (e.g. a severe heatwave or a large bushfire). Experts were more likely to rate extinction probability higher for poorly known species (those with <10 experts), while non-experts were more likely to rate extinction probability higher for better-known species. However, scores converged following discussion, indicating that there was greater consensus in the estimates of extinction probability. Increased resourcing and management intervention are urgently needed to avert future extinctions of Australia’s frogs. Key priorities include developing and supporting captive management and establishing or extending in-situ population refuges to alleviate the impacts of disease and climate change.]]> Wed 05 Jul 2023 16:03:34 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:50142 20 nm). The inability to precisely control nanoparticle crystallinity, size, and shape has significant implications on observed properties and therefore applications. A series of iron oxide particles have been synthesised and the impact of size as they agglomerate in aqueous media undergoing flow through a capillary tube has been studied. Reaction conditions for the production of large (side length > 40 nm) cubic magnetite (Fe3O4) have been optimised to produce particles with different diameters up to 150 nm. We have focussed on reproducibility in synthesis rather than dispersity of the size distribution. A simple oxidative cleavage of the as-synthesised particles surfactant coating transforms the hydrophobic oleic acid coated Fe3O4 to a hydrophilic system based on azelaic acid. The hydrophilic coating can be further functionalised, in this case we have used a simple biocompatible polyethylene glycol (PEG) coating. The ability of particles to either chain, flow, and fully/or partially aggregate in aqueous media has been tested in a simple in-house system made from commercial components. Fe3O4 nanoparticles (60-85 nm) with a simple PEG coating were found to freely flow at a 2 mm distance from a magnet over 3 min at a rate of 1 mL min-1. Larger particles with side lengths of ∼150 nm, or those without a PEG coating were not able to fully block the tube. Simple calculations have been performed to support these observations of magnetic agglomeration.]]> Wed 05 Jul 2023 13:08:14 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:49076 Wed 03 May 2023 16:15:16 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:54344 Tue 20 Feb 2024 16:13:41 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:54227 Tue 13 Feb 2024 12:20:25 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:54810 Tue 13 Aug 2024 12:55:24 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:54807 Tue 13 Aug 2024 12:45:09 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:54806 Tue 13 Aug 2024 12:35:13 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:44300 Tue 11 Oct 2022 16:05:32 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:54131 35 cm diameter at breast height (DBH), and to appropriately revegetate land with these criteria in mind.]]> Tue 06 Feb 2024 11:36:24 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46889 Tue 06 Dec 2022 11:20:24 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:49480 Thu 18 May 2023 15:22:56 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:42123 P≤ 0.05) in all components of CE. Participants with less clinical experience were less confident in managing challenging students (P = 0.003), multiple students (P = <0.001) and competing workplace and education duties (P = <0.001). Conclusions: Physiotherapists with varying professional characteristics were involved in CE. Although many participants had attended CE-related CPD, many reported that more training was required. Future training for clinical educators should be tailored to participants’ level of experience and focus on the components of CE in which they feel least confident. What is known about the topic?: The ability of physiotherapists to confidently assume a clinical educator role may affect their willingness to be clinical educators in the future and the students’ perceptions of clinical placement quality. CPD relating to CE may help prepare physiotherapists for the clinical educator role. What does this paper add?: There is a lack of information regarding physiotherapists’ involvement in CE, completion of CE-related CPD or perceived levels of confidence in various aspects of the clinical educator role, such as placement organisation, teaching, assessment and the provision of feedback. This study describes the involvement of physiotherapists in CE in Australia, including their demographic and professional characteristics, participation in CE-related CPD and confidence in various components of CE. What are the implications for practitioners?: Several recommendations regarding future CE-related CPD have resulted from this study, including tailoring CPD to the needs of physiotherapists based on their level of clinical or CE experience, focusing CPD on the aspects of CE in which physiotherapists feel least confident and raising the awareness of and improving accessibility to CPD opportunities in this area.]]> Thu 18 Aug 2022 14:49:36 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:48448 34 years, the patient being new to the registrar, one particular regional training provider (RTP), in-consultation information or assistance being sought and learning goals being generated. Outer regional-, remote-or very remote-based registrars made significantly fewer ED referrals than more urban registrars. Of the problems referred to the ED, 45.5% involved the seeking of in-consultation information or assistance, predominantly from supervisors. Conclusions: Registrars' ED referral rates are nearly twice those of established GPs. The findings of the present study suggest acute illnesses or injuries present registrars with clinical challenges and real learning opportunities, and highlight the importance of continuity of care, even for acute presentations. What is known about the topic?: A GP's decision concerning continued community-versus hospital-based management of acute presentations demands careful consideration of a suite of factors, including implications for patient care and resource expenditure. General practice vocational training is a critical period for the development of GP registrars' long-term patterns of practice. Although limited international evidence suggests GP registrars and early career GPs refer patients to the ED at a higher rate than their more experienced peers, these studies involved small subject numbers and did not investigate associations of registrars making an ED referral. Relevant Australian studies focusing on GP registrars' ED referral patterns are lacking. What does this paper add?: The present ongoing cohort study is the first to establish the patterns of ED referrals made by Australian GP registrars, encompassing five general practice RTPs across five states, with participating registrars practising in urban, rural, remote and very remote practices. Several significant associations were found with GP registrars making ED referrals, including patient age, continuity of care, the registrar's RTP, assistance sought by the registrar and rurality of the registrar's practice. What are the implications for practitioners?: The higher likelihood of GP registrars seeing acute presentations than their more established practice colleagues, coupled with a demonstrated association of registrars seeking in-consultation assistance for such presentations, highlights the importance of GP supervisor accessibi]]> Thu 16 Mar 2023 17:33:37 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:43352 Thu 15 Sep 2022 15:32:31 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:43251 Thu 15 Sep 2022 10:24:26 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:42708 Thu 01 Sep 2022 10:02:33 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:44828 Mon 24 Oct 2022 09:45:47 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:49559 Mon 22 May 2023 09:13:16 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:53900 Mon 22 Jan 2024 15:04:19 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:50106 Mon 17 Jul 2023 11:42:07 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:53769 Mon 15 Jan 2024 10:03:03 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51581 0.05).

Modelling also suggested that RPAS thermal imaging requires the lowest survey effort to detect koalas within the range of publicly available koala population densities (~0.006–18 koalas ha−1) and would provide long-term cost reductions across longitudinal monitoring programs. RPAS thermal imaging would also require the lowest average survey effort costs at a landscape scale (A$3.84 ha−1), providing a cost-effective tool across large spatial areas. Conclusions: Our analyses demonstrated drone thermal imaging technology as a cost-effective tool for conservation practitioners monitoring koala populations. Our analyses may also form the basis of decision-making tools to estimate survey effort or total program costs across any koala population density. Implications: Our novel approach offers a means to perform various economic comparisons of available survey techniques and guide investment decisions towards developing standardised koala monitoring approaches. Our results may assist stakeholders and policymakers to confidently invest in RPAS thermal imaging technology and achieve optimal conservation outcomes for koala populations, with standardised data collection delivered through evidence-based and cost-effective monitoring programs.]]> Fri 04 Nov 2022 09:52:04 AEDT ]]>
