Aquinas Memorial Lectures Collection <p>The Aquinas Memorial Lectures date back to the 1940s. In March 1944, eleven years after the opening of the Aquinas Library, the inaugural Aquinas Lecture, entitled "Aquinas and Modern Practices of Interest Taking", was delivered by Mr John P. Kelly in the rooms of the Aquinas Library with the Chief Justice of Queensland, Sir William Webb, as Chairman. From then until 1950 an Aquinas Lecture was delivered each year. A new series of the Aquinas Memorial Lectures was established in 1979 by the Aquinas Library and continued by the Australian Catholic University McAuley Campus.</p> <p>The lecture series was originally published by Aquinas Press in Brisbane, the Aquinas Library from 1979 and then continued by the Australian Catholic University, McCauley Campus.</p>

Colossae Project Data <p>Data contributed to Colossae project - both sourced from elsewhere and newly created.</p> <p>Copies of ancient travel journals, diaries, photographs of existing material held in museums, photographs of the site, and photographs of material that have been either previously unpublished or newly undiscovered. Each of those can be further elaborated into, for example, datasets of what ancient travellers noted about the site, from, for instance, 1600 to early 20th century or of all aspects of the site and its surrounding area. Such datasets have not yet been published. A subsidiary aspect has been to pull together the research work of specialists with various interests in the site. This has unlocked material that particularly for western scholarship has not been known -- particularly surveys of ancient pottery completed by two Turkish postgraduate students. That data is held by them and I have access to it through contact with them. There is also a collection of maps and 19th century etchings related to the area</p>

The Transmission of a Religious Heritage to Younger Members of Small Ethnic Communities in a Pluralist Society: The Perceptions of Young Copts <p><strong>1st Stage:</strong> The design of the questionnaire was informed by the literature (for instance, Harris & Moran 1998, Hay and Nye 1998) and the findings of a previous research project which investigated the perceptions of middle school students in Catholic schools of their religiosity and spirituality (Engebretson, de Souza & Salpietro, 2001). From this, a relational dimension of spirituality was identified which was relationship to self, to others, to the world and to God or a Divine presence. The questionnaire was divided into two sections. The first focused on the background of the participant in relation to gender, family, and cultural and religious practices. The second drew on the relational dimension of spirituality that had been identified from the literature, and items were constructed that focused on the following four aspects: <ul> <li>Mystery of the existence of God or a Supreme Being – the focus was on a sense of a transcendent dimension in life, a sense that each person has a reason for being, prayer.</li> <li>Inner lives and sense of self – items related to an awareness of one’s own identity, the need for quiet, reflective times, and the act of creating as an expression of the inner spirit.</li> <li>Others and the world –items included aspects of values and justice, relationships and influences.</li> <li>Influence of a religious tradition on spirituality – items related to the role of family and individual religious practice, links to Church, priests and other members of the hierarchy.</li> </ul> 109 students from Years 6, 9 and 11. These comprised the total number of students from each of these Year levels. Location: Two Coptic schools in Melbourne, Victoria Quantitative – Questionnaires <strong>2nd Stage</strong> Questions focused on: <ul> <li>participants’ involvement in religious activities associated with their tradition;</li> <li>perceptions of themselves as belonging to the Coptic community – that is, their sense of identity;</li> <li>experiences of their lives as active members within their faith tradition in a pluralistic, secular society;</li> <li>perceptions of how other young people from outside their community may have viewed them.</li> </ul> Young Coptic adults aged between 24 – 32. <br />Location:Coptic Centre, Donvale, Victoria Qualitative – Focus Group Interviews Transcripts of interview recordings Funded by: Cardinal Clancy Centre for Research, ACU</p>

Work on Galatians <p>The data gathered attempt to lead the Galatians crisis, which underpins the letters to the Galatians, on a broader historical context. Taking the chronicle approach, as opposed to attempting to reconstruct the historical situation, the data gathered focus on the idea that the Galatians belong to a body of letters of St Paul and also the Acts of the Apostles. Information from the other letters of St Paul and the Acts of the Apostles is gathered to create a larger context, and answer questions in regard to what led up to the Galatian crisis and how it was resolved. To do this the Pauline Corpus and the Acts of the Apostles were read looking for further information that would form the basis to reconstruct a larger historical context. This body of data is the source for writing on the nature of the crisis itself, and more broadly on the nature of Christianity. This investigation has evolved from the up until recently ignored 19th century German scholarship that had been arguing that the Galatians crisis was a part of a broader issue. Print material, mostly out of print, was sourced. Much of the material is written in German. Endnote Libraries Microsoft Word documents Mind maps/visual diaries – hand drawn on sketch books.</p>

The palliative care volunteer in 2020 <p>Australia’s changing social demographic and subsequent flow-on effects to volunteer recruitment presents a challenge to palliative care volunteering. Whilst the ACT’s volunteer enrolement leads the country, it can also expect to be subject to the impact of an aging population who themselves may require increasingly higher levels of support near the end of life. How might a response be fashioned to these broad social changes that will preserve the place of the volunteer in palliative care and enable the role to transform to a changing social world?</p> <p>The data collected aim at answering the following questions: <ul> <li>Identify how current volunteers envision the profile and context of their role in eight years time,</li> <li>Identify those elements of their current role that should be maintained, and</li> <li>Consider innovations to the role that respond to social changes.</li> </ul> Data based on 4 focus groups with a total of 28 participants (semi structured questions.). 4 transcripts with 28 data sources, recorded on a digital recorder and then converted into text.

The influence of emotional salience and age on a laboratory measure of prospective memory <p>Emotional factors have been found to be an important influence on memory. The current study investigated the influence of emotional salience and age on a laboratory measure of prospective memory (PM) using Virtual Week. Virtual Week is a laboratory based test of prospective memory that simulates a week of activities in a computerised board game format. This includes simulated activities that require participants to carry out prospective memory tasks. They are scored on completion and timeliness.</p> <p>Thirty young and thirty old adults completed Virtual Week, in which the emotional salience of the tasks at encoding was manipulated to be positive, negative or neutral in content.</p> <p>Background data includes age, gender, years of education, self rated health, depression scale (HADS), dementia scale screening (ACER), vocabulary test score (Mill Hill) and general mental ability test (Raven).</p> <p>For event-based, but not time-based tasks, positivity enhancement in both age groups was seen, with a greater number of positive PM tasks being performed relative to neutral tasks. There was no negativity enhancement effect.</p> <p>Older adults showed generally poorer levels of PM, but they also demonstrated greater beneficial effects of positive valence compared to young. These effects of emotion on PM accuracy do not appear to reflect the retrospective component of the task as a different pattern of emotion effects was seen on the recall of PM content. Results indicate that older adults’ difficulties in prospective remembering can be reduced where the tasks to be remembered are positive.</p> <p>Primary data, experimental data. SPSS files</p>

Improving Teacher Responsiveness In Making Adjustments for School Children With 'Critical Prone' Medical Conditions <p>Improve response by teachers and schools for children with life threatening crisis prone medical conditions. An action research project was undertaken to identify the extent of these conditions and this problem in schools and to make recommendations for teachers and schools about responding for children with life threatening crisis prone medical conditions. Three focus groups were conducted with Brisbane Catholic Education Consultants (Inclusive Education) from seven primary schools and four secondary schools - metropolitan, some rural and one semi rural. A survey was conducted by telephone and email with Principals of 18 schools, to seek exemplars of effective practice in schools to respond to crises for children with crisis prone medical conditions. Data includes how Principals identified these students and what their practices were in dealing with them both at enrolment and when a crisis occurred. Examples of questions that were asked in the focus groups: <ul> <li>What crisis prone medical conditions do your students have?</li> <li>What do you understand about these crisis prone medical conditions?</li> <li>Who responds and How do you respond to crises for these students?</li> </ul> The data from the focus groups was of mixed usefulness, as some of the respondents had varying ideas of what constituted a crisis, and of some of these were not life threatening. From the focus groups we were able to determine that the main life threatening crises were Asthma, Diabetes Mellitus, Epilepsy, Anaphylaxis. Several schools identified exemplar responses to the crisis that they were undertaking. From this point we consulted with the Principals about identifying these at risk students at enrolment, and how they identify them and how the school follows up on them. All of this was compiled and analysed and it seemed that mostly the Principals did not have a full picture of the numbers of at risk students. Where they thought they were collecting data on these students at enrolment via forms, the questions being asked on the forms were of an open ended nature. Parents were reporting to these questions using a variety of terminology, and the data collected by the schools was entered into a database verbatim, for example ‘severe asthma’ or ‘allergy to nuts’, but the schools were not able to categorise the responses in a meaningful way, meaning that searches for a particular life threatening crisis on the database would not return reliable numbers and or names of students with this condition. A key recommendation arising from this research was to change how this data was collected at enrolment and to have options on the forms for clear categories like Asthma, Diabetes, Epilepsy and Anaphylaxis. As well, exemplars for practice were recommended and information factsheets were supplied to schools for inclusion in their teacher education.</p>
