Multidirectional instability (MDI) of the shoulder is an instability pattern of the glenohumeral joint characterized by excessive glenohumeral translation in the inferior direction as well as in the anterior direction, posterior direction, or both.
A detailed description of MDI was first outlined in 1980 (Neer CS II, Foster CR: Inferior capsular shift for involuntary inferior and multidirectional instability of the shoulder: A preliminary report. J Bone Joint Surg Am 1980;62:897-908) they distinguished it from the more commonly recognized forms of anterior and posterior instability and described the use of an open inferior capsular shift to address capsular redundancy and instability.
Thomas and Matsen noted that most patients with recurrent glenohumeral instability could be classified into one of two groups (TUBS & AMBRI); the first characterized by a history of definite trauma causing unidirectional instability. These patients usually were found to have a Bankart lesion and frequently required surgery to achieve stability. In contrast, patients in the second group had no history of trauma and were more prone to have multidirectional instability that was bilateral. Rehabilitation involving strengthening of the rotator cuff was the preferred treatment; however, if surgery was to be performed, it should be an inferior capsular shift. (Thomas SC, Matsen FA III: An approach to the repair of avulsion of the glenohumeral ligament in the management of traumatic anterior glenohumeral instability. J Bone Joint Surg Am 1989;71:506-513).
The aetiology of MDI can be multifactorial, involving anatomic, neuromuscular, and biomechanical abnormalities. MDI can also have a traumatic (usually repetitive microtrauma) aetiology.
Potential sites of structural pathology include the rotator cuff interval, the inferior gleno-humeral ligament complex and the glenoid labrum.
Patients with MDI may develop symptomatic instability without a clear history of trauma. These patients may have a genetic predisposition with generalised ligamentous laxity (determined by the % mix of collagen types in each individual). It is also possible for a previously asymptomatic but lax gleno-humeral joint to become symptomatically unstable after a traumatic dislocation or subluxation or after repetitive microtrauma.
Secondary rotator cuff tendonitis and sub-acromial impingement as well as long head of biceps tendonitis can occur as a result of the underlying instability and higher demand activity.
The diagnosis is sometimes challenging, but it is important to differentiate MDI from traumatic or unidirectional instability. Patients with MDI most often present with a history of subluxation or microinstability, as opposed to frank dislocation. They often have a relatively chronic course with gradually worsening symptoms, although patients may have an exacerbation of symptoms after an injury or change in activity. Generally, there is no history of major trauma.
Physical examination is required to classify the instability: patients must have instability in the inferior direction, as well as in the anterior or posterior direction (or both).
Assessment of a patient who may have recurrent shoulder instability should include the sulcus sign test for inferior instability, the load and shift test for anterior and posterior instability; the apprehension & relocation tests for anterior instability; and the jerk test for posterior instability..
Patients with suspected MDI should also be evaluated for generalized ligamentous laxity with an examination for elbow, thumb, metacarpo-phalangeal & knee joint hyperextension and spine flexion range (Beiton criteria).
Evaluation of the scapula is an often overlooked aspect of the physical examination of the patient with shoulder instability. The scapula has a relatively large arc of motion on the thoracic wall, which allows the glenoid to better maintain an efficient link with the humerus during activities.
It would be virtually impossible to restore normal gleno-humeral joint stability and movement in the presence of an unstable scapula with poor muscle patterning.
Evaluation of the scapula should consist of observation of its position at rest, during active forward elevation, and abduction, and during resisted activity, such as when performing a wall press, or resisted protraction (punching action). In patients with MDI, primary scapular winging can, rarely, be the result of a long thoracic or spinal accessory nerve lesion. It is however, usually a secondary condition, the result of pain inhibition of the normal scapular stabilizers, or compensation for poor gleno-humeral movement.
The scapula may also be evaluated with the lateral slide test, which assesses scapular stabilizer function In this test, the distance from the inferomedial border of the scapula to the midline of the spine is measured in three positions: 1)at rest, 2)with the hands on hips, and 3)with the shoulder at 90° of abduction and maximal internal rotation. A difference of greater than 1.5 cm between the affected and unaffected sides in any of the positions is considered a positive test result. (Kibler WB: The role of the scapula in athletic shoulder function. Am J Sports Med 1998;26:325-337).
Because of the broad spectrum of pathology, the diagnosis of MDI requires a combination of history, physical examination, and imaging. If unresponsive to conservative measures, examination under anesthesia and arthroscopic examination may be required to confirm the diagnosis and instability pattern.
AP, axillary, and scapular lateral Y radiographs of the gleno-humeral joint should be obtained. They should also be obtained after any acute traumatic event that initiated shoulder instability, as well as a Stryker-notch view. In patients with a definite history of trauma, these views can be used to confirm reduction of the glenohumeral joint and to assess for any humeral head (Hill-Sachs) or glenoid rim fractures.
MRI is the test of choice for evaluating the soft-tissue structures around the shoulder. Although not required for the diagnosis of MDI, MRI allows imaging of other potential sources of pathology, such as the rotator cuff, long head of biceps or of concurrent injury to the glenoid labrum.
With MDI, bony abnormalities are uncommon and radiographs are generally normal. Abnormalities in glenoid morphology / alignment are better assessed with CT, whereas soft-tissue pathology is more likely to be identified with MRI.
Management of patients with proven MDI should always begin with a course of nonsurgical treatment. A sufficient period of activity modification and good focused physical therapy should be attempted as initial treatment. Should a patient continue to be symptomatic after an appropriate period of rehabilitation, or should there be any diagnostic doubt, surgery, in the form of initial diagnostic arthroscopy and EUA (examination under anaesthesia) should be considered.
Indications for arthroscopic capsular plication and very rarely capsular shrinkage, in the treatment of MDI include symptomatic instability (pain and functional impairment) failed nonsurgical treatment, and an additional traumatic element of the instability.
Patients also must be able to comply with postoperative rehabilitation protocols.

THE CLINICAL STUDIES OF RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS (I)
016_035_048.pdf
Morinaga, Hiroshi|
The value of spa treatment of rheumatic disease is an established feature of medical management based on experiences for many centuries. The author has been practising the balneotherapy of rheumatic diseases at Misasa Spa for several years, and has found this therapy efficacious in many cases in relieving the anemia that accompanies rheumatoid arthritis. For this reason, the author is investigating the metabolism of iron in rheumatic anemia, which is expected to occur in the course of the spa treatment. In this report, the results of clinical examinations of 24 patients with rheumatoid arthritis, of the type (2. 2. 2.) Polyarthritis systemica chronica (in Prof. Kodama's classification of arthritis), are described. I. Some observations of anemia in rheumatoid arthritis 1. The peripheral blood The number of erythrocytes is 266×10(4)~455×10(4)/c. mm. (average: (381±32)×10(4)/c. mm.), Hb-content : 55~90% (average : 76±5.8%), and the color index is about 1.0. The anemia of rheumatic disease treated is mostly normochromic. The white blood count is between 3240 and 13300/c. mm. (average: 6421±955/c. mm. ), and the number of the leucocytes in 80% of the cases ranges within the normal limits. Eosinophilia is observed in 15% of the cases. 2. Anemia-producing substance in the serum of rheumatoid arthritis When serum from rheumatoid arthritis patients was injected into rabbits, the number of erythrocytes and the hemoglobin -content of the rabbits was found to decrease markedly for 2~6hours after the injection. But no such effect was observed when the serum of healthy subjects was injected. From this, the author presumes the presence of an anemia-producing substance in the serum of rheumatoid arthritis. The nature of this substance in now under investigation. II. Clinical-biochemical studies 3. Gastric acidity of rheumatic patients Of 7 cases examined, anacidity of gastric juice was observed in 2 cases, subacidity in other 2 cases and normacidity in the remaining 3 cases. Thus, a decrease in the gastric acidity was found to occur in 57% of the cases. 4. Takata-serum-test and sedimentation rate It is said that the sedimentation rate and the Weltmann-reaction are very sensitive indicators of the extent of the activity of rheumatic disease. The Takata-serum-test was applied in 18 cases and was found to give positive results in 10 cases (55%). The sedimentation rate was found to increase in 17 of 20 cases (85%). 5. Blood uric acid As is well known, the concentration of uric acid is abnormally high in the blood of patients with gout; while, according to the literature, the blood uric acid levels of patients with rheumatoid arthritis range within the normal limits. The author, using the method of Benedict, obtained the following results for blood uric acid in 14 normal subjects in fasting state: Range - 2.30~3.47mg./dl. , 5% rejection limit -- 1.97~3.68mg./dl. In 5 of 7 cases of rheumatoid arthritis, the blood uric acid levels were shown to be above the upper limit of the normal range, but the concentrations of blood uric acid of non-rheumatic joint diseases and neuralgias were mostly within the normal range. 6. Blood sugar The fasting blood sugar levels of rheumatoid patients ranged from 82 to 1l0mg./dl. (average : 100mg./dl.), higher than the levels of healthy subjects (78~108mg./dl., average : 90mg./dl.). The intravenously injected glucose load test was applied to 8 rheumatoid patients. A solution of 40 ml. of 20% glucose was injected into a fasting subject for 2 minutes. Blood samples were taken before the injection, 3 minutes after the injection, and at each subsequent 10 minute-interval for 70 minutes. The glucose tolerance curves in 5 of these cases were found to be out of the normal range. It is to be noticed that the average blood sugar for rheumatoid arthritis is similar to the curve for liver disease. 7. Serum alkaline phosphatase activity and serum phosphorus The method of Taussky-Shorr was used for the determination of the level of alkaline phosphatase activity and inorganic phosphate in the serum. The alkaline phosphatase activity of 11 normal individuals ranged from 1.4 to 6.4 Shinowara-Jones-Rheinhart units/dl. (5% rejection limit), while in 4 of 8 cases of rheumatoid arthritis, it was of abnormally high levels. The concentration of inorganic phosphate in the serum of 12 normal subjects ranged from 2.9 to 5.0mg. /dl. (5% rejection limit), while in 3 cases of rheumatoid patients, it showed higher levels than normal. 8. Total cholesterol in serum The total cholesterol in the serum of fasting normal individuals was measured by Bloor's method, and the concentration was found to range from 124 to 188mg./dl. (rejection limit of 5% level of significance), and the total cholesterol in the serum of rheumatoid arthritis to be abnormally high in concentration in 6 of 7 cases. The liver function was evaluated by the Takata-serum-test, the test of fasting blood sugar levels, the glucose load test, and the test of serum alkaline phosphatase activity; and from this the hepatic dysfunction was found to occur in rheumatoid arthritis patients in about 50% of the cases examined. Disturbances in the protein, fat, and carbohydrate metabolism were also found to occur. The above-mentioned findings indicate that rheumatoid arthritis is not only a disease of the joints, but also a general and systemic illness. Attention must accordingly be given to the general condition of the patient in the treatment of rheumatic disease.

SEASONAL VARIATION OF GASTRIC ACIDITY
pitsr_016_031_034.pdf
Since, in Japan situated in the temperate zone, climatic change through the four seasons of a year is regular, it is expected that there the physiological reactions of the human body may vary regularly in accordance with the climatic change. In fact, we experience that the attacks of diseases and their conditions are in close connection with the changes of the seasons. The author investigated the effect of the seasons upon the human gastric acidity, by means of the coffein-test, in 580 cases with gastrointestinal disorders, at the Misasa Branch Hospital of Okayama University, Misasa Spa in Tottori Prefecture, in 1946~1946. Hyperacidity was verified in 194 (33%) of 580 cases, normacidity in 134 (23%), anacidity in 138 (24%) and hypacidity in 114 (20%). The percentage of hyperacidity increases in winter (41%), decreases in spring (32%) and in summer (28%), and increases again in autumn (34%). The cases of anacidity decrease in winter and spring, but increase in summer. In chi-square test, the season and the acidity of gastric juice were taken as factors of variation. The chi-square was computed with the result: Pr {X(3)=14.013<16.919} =5%, so it cannot be asserted that the seasonal changes effect the acidity of gastric juice. But if Comparison is made between summer and winter with respect to the anacidity-hypacidity vs. the hyperacidity, the author: obtains Pr {X(2)=6.06> 5.412} =2%. It is thus verified that the cases of hyperacidity predominate over those of anacidity-hypacidity in winter, while the relation is reverse in summer. As was mentioned above, the tendency is obvious that the acidity of gastric juice decreases in summer and increases in winter. It was found that there is a regular seasonal variation in gastric acidity.

ANEMIA-PRODUCING SUBSTANCE IN RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS
Kishida, Senzo|
The anemia that usually accompanies rheumatoid arthritis has been thought to be caused by an infection of unknown etiology. The author found from his experiment that a temporary anemia is caused in rabbits by the injection of the serum of patients with rheumatoid arthritis into them, but no such effect by the injection of the serum of healthy subjects. The author presumes the existance of an anemia-producing substance in the serum of the rheumatoid arthritis. The nature of this substance is now under investigation.

REPORT OF THE CHEMICAL ANALYSIS OF MISASA HOT SPRINGS, TOTTORI PREFECTURE
Oshima, Yoshio| Mifune, Masaaki| Yamada, Naoharu| Ueyama, Akiko|
The water samples of 55 springs of Misasa were analysed in the years 1950~1951. The temperatures of the waters ranged from 44° to 85° C. Radon content ranged from 34.1 to 2360×10(-10) curies per liter. pH 6.2~7.5. Evaporation residue: 534~1940 mg/kg. K(+) :10.4~47.3mg/kg. Na(+) : 140.4~574mg/kg. Ca(2+) : 7.56~49.06mg/kg. Mg(2+) : 0.11~15.3mg/kg.. Fe(2+) : 0.10~0.67mg/kg. Cl(-) : 138~854mg/kg. SO(4)(2-) : 29.2~187mg/kg. HCO(3)(-) : 74.8~370mg/kg. HBO(2)(-) : 1.80~19.6mg/kg. S(2)O(3)(2-) : o.62~3.69mg/kg. Radon sources seem to exist at shallow places under the ground and the radon in the thermal wacer is supposed to have been derive partly from the ground water which also contains considerable amount of radon. A close linear correlation (r=0.751) was proved between the sulfate and the chloride ion contents.

France plans to lobby for a deal on farming during the international climate negotiations it is hosting in December — a move that could boost funding for agricultural research in developing countries.
Laurence Tubiana, a French climate negotiator, told participants at the Climate-Smart Agriculture conference in Montpellier, France, last week (16-18 March) that she would lobby countries at COP 21 (the 21st Conference of the Parties) in Paris to commit to cutting carbon emissions by improving farming technology.

Foreign Language Policies Around the World
By Anthony Jackson on March 2, 2013 6:28 AM
On the occasion of International Mother Language Day, we have been looking at the importance of languages in schools. Today, Heather Singmaster, senior program associate, Asia Society, looks at how other countries are examining their language policies as part of workforce development strategies.
By Heather Singmaster
It is no secret that Americans lag behind in learning foreign languages despite urgent calls from the business and national security sectors. Yet it is barely a part of our policy discussion here—much to our detriment.
In other countries, this conversation is not only happening, it is a prominent part of the national discourse. Why? They see foreign language as key to economic development, even if their first language is English. They don't feel they can rely on their native tongue alone—nor should we.
A Continuing Discourse
Australia has had an ongoing conversation about the need for students to study Asian languages. The latest development happened last November, when Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard released the Asian Century white paper, listing key goals to allow the country to take advantage of nearby Asian markets. The paper calls for students to be given the opportunity to study one of four languages throughout their entire school career: Chinese (Mandarin), Hindi, Indonesian, and Japanese.
A flurry of articles met this call, with most experts agreeing with the reasoning, but citing huge obstacles, including the US$1billion price tag for implementing such a requirement for just half of Australia. Adelaide University Asian studies expert Kent Anderson says this would be a tall order, but a crucial one: ''what is really important about learning a language is learning empathy for someone else, and learning empathy for another culture. You are able to understand, which will make you a better business person and makes it easier to have longer-term relationships.''
Meanwhile, former Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd called on businesses to set quotas on the number of employees they hire who can speak an Asian language, reasoning that this would encourage students to learn them. (Incidentally, he announced this idea in a speech in China, delivered in fluent Mandarin.)
In Scotland, a recent study by the British Council showed a decline in foreign language study as well as a tendency of Scottish companies to only export to English speaking countries. Not wanting to miss out on economic opportunities, the Scottish government is responding with an examination of their foreign language requirements. Currently study of a second language is required beginning in grade six, but a new proposal would change this to grade one—allowing students to start a third language in grade five.
When examining the change to the policy, two issues are being considered: capacity of the curriculum and the role of languages in supporting the economy. Minister for Learning Alasdair Allan said: "This government has set an ambitious target to increase the value of our international exports by 50% by 2017, and ensuring our workforce has the right skills to compete internationally will play an important role in achieving this." He continues, "This is why we are committed to reinvigorating language learning and helping more Scottish pupils learn a second language such as French, German, Spanish or Chinese in primary school."
Neighboring England, in response to a study showing their students are less likely to study a second language to a decent level compared to their European peers, will require all English primary students to learn a second language starting in 2014. Schools have the choice of offering one of seven languages: French, German, Spanish, Italian, Mandarin, Latin, and ancient Greek. Elizabeth Truss, the Education Minister, said: "We must give young people the opportunities they need to compete in a global jobs market—fluency in a foreign language will now be another asset our school leavers and graduates will be able to boast."
Similarly, in Czechoslovakia, students are currently required to take a second language beginning in third grade (most take English). A third language used to be optional, however the government announced in January that it is now mandatory, beginning in eighth grade or earlier.
Expanding the Conversation
In most Asian countries, children begin learning a second language, usually English, in the primary grades. That doesn't necessarily mean that parents are satisfied. In Japan, a recent study showed that 90% of parents just aren't happy with their children's English language classes. Parents feel their children aren't gaining enough practical language knowledge and they lack the opportunity to actually speak in class. The study showed that parents are highly supportive of learning a second language and producing globally competent students: "93.6 of parents want their children to have a global viewpoint and 83.3% want their children to be globally competitive."
Similarly in China, students may be learning English in school starting in grade three, but many parents feel this isn't enough. Students are sent to expensive centers for learning English after school and increasingly, students in middle and high school are being sent to the United States to study. According to China Daily, 65 middle school aged children studied in the U.S. in 2005, that number increased to 6,725 in 2010. Parents feel their students will need to be able to compete internationally when they grow up and therefore need a global outlook.
With all of these conversations happening around the world, can Americans afford to continue to turn a deaf ear?

The Windows Fax and Scan program may not be able to connect to an installed Agere PCI Soft Modem because of a known hardware bug that disables the device after a computer goes to sleep mode. Additionally, the program may be having issues with the hardware because of a bad driver configuration. Either problem can be resolved by updating the software driver to an updated version. According to Internet tracking site NNDB, Agere is a defunct company that spun off of Lucent in 2002 and was acquired by LSI Logic in 2007.
The Agere PCI Soft Modem is an internal phone-line modem that uses the PCI expansion board connection standard. First available in 2002, the peripheral can work with computers going as far back as Pentium III devices running Windows 95. Telephony-based modems, including the Agere PCI Soft Modem, have a double functionality and can serve as software-based facsimile machines through a powered-on computer.
Windows Fax and Scan is a Windows-oriented program that lets a computer equipped with a telephone modem act as a virtual fax machine. When enabled, the computer can use the phone line and modem to both send and receive faxes; however, the program needs to be active to listen for incoming faxes. Windows Fax and Scan requires a scanner to scan-in outgoing faxes, but it can receive incoming faxes with no additional hardware.
According to HP support, the Agere Systems PCI Soft Modem has a documented and update-addressed driver bug that prevented the device from being accessible after the computer enters standby mode. The driver bug trips the "can't connect to device" prompt and prevents Windows Fax and Scan from using the modem if the computer has entered standby mode at any time since booting to Windows. This problem can be resolved in the short term by rebooting the computer; however, the problem will persist if the computer goes back into sleep mode. The problem can also be averted by disabling sleep mode.
Agere Systems issued a driver update in 2006 that addresses the standby mode hardware failure bug. The driver update also addresses other issues that could cause the hardware to malfunction from the initial software included with the modem. You can update the driver to its latest version by running Windows Update or by downloading and installing the driver update from HP Support or CNETt's Download.com. CNET hosts a version of the driver that includes additional updates from the version that resolves the standby issue. Both drivers will work on any PC running the Agere PCI Soft Modem. LSI Logic discontinued the Agere website following the acquisition and does not host the updated driver on the company's site.


TOKYO (Reuters) – Japanese copper miners JX Nippon Mining & Metals and Sumitomo Metal Mining plan to increase output from their mines in Chile this year, but are facing challenges in bringing them to full capacity and meeting profit targets.
JXTG Holdings Inc said on Friday that Caserones copper mine which is 51.5 percent owned by its metal unit JX Nippon Mining is expected to produce about 110,000 tonnes of copper concentrate in the year to end-March 2019, up from 91,000 tonnes a year earlier.
The projected annual output still falls short of the 150,000 tonnes target planned when the company started construction of the mine.
Output at the Caserones mine, located in the arid mountains of northern Chile, has fallen behind schedule since it started producing in May 2014, plagued by a series of technical problems in its ramp-up stage.
JXTG posted 125 billion yen ($1.14 billion) in impairment losses for the mine in the year ended March 31, bringing its total impairment loss on the mine to 273.3 billion yen.


I am a creature of habit when it comes to clothes shopping. Once I've found a shop or product that I like, I stick with it. I don't enjoy searching for clothes, so this is a good solution for me.
However, what this means is that, when things change, I find myself rather at sea. Years ago, I used to buy work clothes from Laura Ashley, but then our local branch closed, and I had to find something else. I liked the Per Una label at M&S while it lasted, but after a few years it all but disappeared. My local branch of Monsoon closed recently, giving me yet fewer options for clothes shopping.
And now the same thing has happened with underwear. The only bras that you seem able to buy these days are like armour -- underwired, padded, moulded, you name it... Whatever happened to nice, soft, comfortable underwear? Surely I'm not the only person who thinks like this?!

Queen's Birthday 2019 Honours: Sydney community recognised
Outstanding members of the University of Sydney community including six female professors have been recognised in the 2019 Queen's Birthday Honours.
Six women professors at the University of Sydney have been recognised in this year's national honours program for their outstanding contributions to higher education.
Professors Katherine Belov, Rae Cooper, Elizabeth Martin, Mary Chiarella, Carolyn Sue and Hala Zreiqat were named in the Queen's Birthday 2019 Honours List, announced by the Governor-General today.
Emeritus Professor Leo Radom and Professor David Burke were named a Companion in the General Division: awarded for eminent achievement and merit of the highest degree in service to Australia.
Philanthropist Kay Van Norton Poche, who funded the Poche Centre for Indigenous Health at the University of Sydney together with Greg Poche AO and Reg Richardson AM, was also awarded an Officer in the General Division (AO).
Awarded twice a year on Australia Day and the Queen's Birthday, the Order of Australia is unique to other honours in that it was designed for the community to make nominations.
Vice-Chancellor and Principal of the University of Sydney Dr Michael Spence extended his congratulations to the professors – and all of the University's community that received awards this year.
"We are delighted that these tremendously talented women have been recognised and valued for their influential work," said Dr Spence.
"We have to shift the dial in public recognition of the extraordinary contribution of Australian women, and in the opportunities open to them."
Professor Katherine Belov AO
Professor Katherine Belov.
The Professor of Comparative Genomics was awarded an Officer in the General Division for distinguished service to higher education, particularly to comparative genomics, as an academic and researcher.
Over the past 15 years, Professor Belov has led the Australiasian Wildlife Genomics Group at the University of Sydney. More than 60 students and postdocs have worked in the lab under Professor Belov's leadership.
"This award is clear recognition of the tireless work that they have invested in conserving some of Australia's most endangered native animals," said Professor Belov, who also leads the University's global engagement strategy as Pro Vice-Chancellor (Global Engagement).
The team have begun conducting genetic rescue of Tasmanian devils in the wild and have halted the extinction vortex that they entered. Rather than fearing that Tasmanian devils would go extinct, Australia is now hopeful about the species' future, thanks to Professor Belov's work.
Last year Professor Belov led a team of Australian and international scientists to complete the world-first full sequencing of the koala genome. They have recently launched a crowdfunding campaign to sequence 50 genomes of threatened Australian species in 5 years, called 50 in 5.
Professor Rae Cooper AO
Professor Cooper was awarded an Officer in the General Division for distinguished service to higher education, particularly in the field of employment relations, and workplace policy and practice.
"I'm really thrilled and a little shocked to be acknowledged in the honours list," said Professor Cooper.
"I'm privileged to be able to do this work at an institution like the University of Sydney with so many brilliant colleagues and students."
Co-Director of the Women, Work & Leadership Research Group, Professor Cooper is a leading researcher on the world of work, particularly in gender and work, women's careers and flexible employment. She is also Associate Dean (Programs) at the University of Sydney Business School.
"Working on important social and economic questions - like how we can achieve gender equality at work - is my passion," Professor Cooper added.
In addition to her academic roles, Professor Cooper been a non-Executive Director on several boards of public sector businesses and NGOs including three years as Chair of the Board of Directors of Australian Hearing and three years as a NED for the NSW TAFE Commission.
She has played a leadership role in organisations in the women's policy area including previously being Chair of both the NSW Premiers Expert Advisory Council on Women and the NSW Working Women's Centre.
Professor Elizabeth Martin AO
For distinguished service to dental education as an academic and researcher, and to professional organisations, Professor Elizabeth Martin was named an Officer in the General Division.
Professor Martin currently holds appointments as Chair for Tooth Conservation, and Coordinator for Clinical activities for the Doctor of Dental Medicine program (DMD) year three and four students across three metropolitan sites (Westmead Centre for Oral Health, Sydney Dental Hospital and Nepean).
"I am very humbled to receive this award and would like to dedicate it to my colleagues and all the part time staff who so generously contribute their experience to advance our students' education," said Professor Martin.
She is a Research Fellow at the Institute of Dental Research, an examiner of overseas trained dentists for the Australian Dental Council, a member of Council of the Royal Australasian College of Dental Surgeons, a member of the accreditation team for the Australian Dental Council and is consulted as a key opinion leader in dental materials.
Professor Mary Chiarella AM
For significant service to nurse and midwifery education, and to health care standards, Professor Chiarella was named a Member in the General Division.
Professor of Nursing at Sydney Nursing School, Professor Chiarella is an internationally recognised nurse leader with a distinguished career in nursing services.
She established the world's first professional doctorate in midwifery (Doctor of Midwifery) at UTS, which has been completed by many of Australia's and New Zealand's current midwifery leaders.
During her time as Chair of the Australian Nursing and Midwifery Council, she led the regulatory negotiations for nurses and midwives within the new national registration scheme.
Professor Carolyn Sue AM
For significant service to medicine, particularly to mitochondrial disease, Professor Carolyn Sue from the University of Sydney School of Medicine was recognised as a Member in the General Division.

Professor Hala Zreiqat AM
For significant service to biomedical engineering, and to research councils, Professor Hala Zreiqat was recognised as a Member in the General Division.
Director of the ARC Training Centre for Innovative BioEngineering, Professor Zreiqat was last year named the NSW Premier's Woman of the Year. She actively supports young women seeking careers in medicine, engineering and technology, particularly those women who come from disadvantaged backgrounds.
"I am deeply humbled to receive this honour along with so many influential women," said Professor Zreiqat.
In 2006 she founded the Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering Research Unit at the University of Sydney. Pioneering the invention of new biomaterials and biomedical devices, the unit's work is giving Australia a place at the table in the highly competitive global orthopaedic market.
A trailblazer in her commitment to championing opportunities for women and dedicated to improving recognition for women around the world, Professor Zreiqat was also awarded the prestigious Radcliffe Institute Summer Fellowship at Harvard University (June/July 2019).
Emeritus Professor Leo Radom AC
For eminent service to science, particularly to computational chemistry, as an academic, author and mentor, and to international scientific bodies, Emeritus Professor Leo Radom was awarded a Companion in the General Division: the highest degree in service to Australia.
"I feel very honoured to be receiving this honour, which also recognises the contributions made by the outstanding students, postdocs and senior associates with whom I have been fortunate to be associated during my scientific career," said Emeritus Professor Radom.
Rather than using traditional laboratory-based techniques, Emeritus Professor Radom from the University of Sydney School of Chemistry studies molecules and their reactions by computer calculations. His computational quantum chemistry approach can describe and predict the structures of molecules and the mechanisms of chemical reactions.
Emeritus Professor Radom holds eminent positions in the community as a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Science, the Royal Society of Chemistry (UK), the Royal Society of NSW and Distinguished Fellow of the Royal Australian Chemical Institute. He has also been prominently involved in major international organisations in his field, including being a Past President of the World Association of Theoretical and Computational Chemists and the current President of the Asia-Pacific Association of Theoretical and Computational Chemists.

Political operative distances self from DNC after Trump rally accusations
CHICAGO (WLS) -- A nationally known Democratic political operative is distancing himself from the Democratic National Committee amid allegations his firm planned to stir up trouble at campaign events for Donald Trump.
Bob Creamer is the husband of Illinois Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky.
Creamer and colleague Scott Foval were caught on undercover video talking about staging counter events.
In the video, Foval explains how to pick fights with Trump supporters.
The video was produced by James O'Keefe, a conservative activist who has been accused of doctoring video in the past.
Creamer has released a statement saying, "We regret the unprofessional and careless hypothetical conversations that were captured on hidden cameras of a regional contractor for our firm, he is no longer working with us."
In addition to Foval's departure, Creamer announced Wednesday he's stepping away from his work with the DNC so as not to distract from the election.
The DNC released a statement saying:
"The practices described in the video by this temporary regional sub-contractor do not in any way comport with our long standing policies on organizing events, and those statements and sentiments do not represent the values that the Committee holds dear. We do not believe, or have any evidence to suggest, that the activities articulated in the video actually occurred. We have accepted the decision by Mobilize, an organization we contracted with in June 2016 and run by Bob Creamer, to step aside from its work with the DNC so that it is not a distraction three weeks before the election. The discredited source of these videos, James O'Keefe, is a convicted criminal with a history of doctoring video to advance his ideological agenda. We are in the process of conducting an internal investigation to determine whether he and his cohorts committed any illegal activities in this well-funded operation. We know this campaign will be won on the issues and solutions offered by the candidates and Hillary Clinton is the only person in this race with the experience and steadiness to bring people together and get real results." - DNC Interim Chair Donna Brazile.
"There's a script. There's a script of engagement," Foval said in the video. "Sometimes the crazies bite and sometimes the crazies don't bite. The media will cover it no matter where it happens. The key is initiating the conflict by having leading conversations with people who are naturally psychotic. I mean, honestly, it is not hard to get some of these (obscenity) to pop off. It's a matter of showing up, to want to get into the rally, in a Planned Parenthood T-shirt, or Trump is a Nazi, you know. You can message to draw them out, and draw them to punch you."
Creamer is part of a group called Democracy Partners, and he, too, was caught on undercover video.
"Wherever Trump and Pence are gonna be, we have events, and we have a whole team across the country that does that," Creamer says on the video. "Both consultants and people from the Democratic party and the Democratic party apparatus and people from the campaign, the Clinton campaign, and my role in the campaign is to manage all that."
Creamer told CNN his former contractors were committing barroom talk, insisting none of what is being described by foval ever actually happened.
The Clinton campaign response:
"While Project Veritas has been known to offer misleading video out of context, some of the language and tactics referenced in the video are troubling even as a theory or proposal never executed. We support the Democratic National Committee's appropriate action addressing this matter and look forward to continue waging a campaign of ideas worthy of our democratic process.

Ojo Isreal Oluwafemi is a Nigerian Star!!!
We bring to you yet another inspirational article from the "I Know a Nigerian Star Writing Competition." Read and be inspired.
Ojo Israel Oluwafemi, a graduate of Mathematics from University of Lagos, is a Nigerian Star and so, deserves to be celebrated. The so-called rich men today count the money they acquire over a period of time, but this man on a daily basis counts the number of lives he has positively affected. According to him; "the richest man on earth is that one who goes about investing in peoples' minds".
Ojo, born on 25th September, 1983, has a great passion towards investing in the minds of the populace, most especially the young ones. While studying at the university, he took teaching as a part time job, as a classroom teacher, he greatly impacted the students with his wealth of knowledge in various fields.
Few years later, he became the head teacher at Great Oki Schools, Iyana-Ipaja, a post he held for over five years before establishing his own school. With his friendly look and smile, together with his good gesture, friendliness and humility, he helped immensely in attracting parents to the school, making it one of the most populous private primary schools in Iyana-Ipaja, Lagos.
After his university education, in 2008, he wrote his first book 'Better to have loved and lost than never', a novel that educates youths, revealing to them the importance and necessity of the often talked about but hardly known friend of the youth- Love! This educating book of his is highly sought by youths and since its release has sold thousands of copies.
In that same year, Ojo Israel, the Director of Ruphem Publications Network organised a life changing event tagged 'Ruphem Youth Summit' which still holds every year in Lagos. This annual free-participating event, now with over a thousand participants is aimed at investing in the minds of youths.
Annually, Ojo invites successful men and women from different walks of life to motivate and inspire youths towards success attainment. This great event has hosted celebrities like Teju Babyface (Comedian), Chioma Ajunwa (First Olympic Gold Medalist in Nigeria), Holy Mallam (Comedian), Akin Ogunbiyi (GMD, Mutual Benefits Assurance PLC), Shola Allyson (Gospel Artiste), Seyilaw (Comedian), Feyikemi Niyi Olayinka (Presenter, LTV) and other great motivators whose motivational speeches have transformed the lives of youths.
Instead of marking his 30th birthday with a car or a house like many others do, Ojo preferred to mark it with his newly opened school, Ruphem Basic School. He treats his members of staff with utmost care, love, and respect. To his pupils, he is a father, and to all, he is a real friend, always there when needed, offering practical advice on just about everything, from how to develop one's talent, to how to surmount personal tragedy with courage. He works often with his favourite quote: "a candle loses nothing by lighting another candle".
With his musical skills, he has not only blessed lives at great events, but has also taught youths to do the same. He is a writer and teacher whose versatility as well as writing skills is immeasurable and highly admirable. He is a motivational speaker and counselor who can stir up the depressed with just a statement. With his ever friendly manner of approach, everyone who knows Ojo cannot but admire him.
According to a German psychologist, Erich Fromm; "man's main task in life is to give birth to himself: to become what he potentially is; the most important product of his effort is his own personality". Stars are born every minute, but only those who give birth to themselves deserve to be talked about. Ojo Israel is indeed a Nigerian Star and a good role model to all Nigerian youths who aspire to succeed. He believes that success in life is tied down to the number of lives you can transform, the number of faces on which you can put a smile, and the number of minds in which you are able to invest.
He is really a blessing to this generation and I strongly believe that with his meritorious deeds, Nigeria and the world at large will take a new shape and the youths who are confused about their purposes in life, whose hopes have been shattered and battered, will again have a reason to live.
