In Australia, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people score poorly on national mainstream indicators of wellbeing, with the lowest outcomes recorded in remote communities. As part of a ‘shared space’ collaboration between remote Aboriginal communities, government and scientists, the holistic Interplay Wellbeing Framework and accompanying survey were designed bringing together Aboriginal priorities of culture, empowerment and community with government priorities of education, employment and health. Quantitative survey data were collected from a cohort of 841 Aboriginal people aged 15–34 years, from four different Aboriginal communities. Aboriginal community researchers designed and administered the survey. Structural equation modelling was used to identify the strongest interrelating pathways within the framework. Optimal pathways from education to employment were explored with the concept of empowerment playing a key role. Here, education was defined by self-reported English literacy and numeracy and empowerment was defined as identity, self-efficacy and resilience. Empowerment had a strong positive impact on education (β = 0.38, p < .001) and strong correlation with employment (β = 0.19, p < .001). Education has a strong direct effect on employment (β = 0.40, p < .001). This suggests that education and employment strategies that foster and build on a sense of empowerment are mostly likely to succeed, providing guidance for policy and programs.

International trade directly influences US presidential elections. We explore the electoral implications of the increasing tradability of services and the large US surplus in services trade. Our paper builds on prior work showing that job insecurity from import competition in manufacturing diminishes political support for incumbents. We construct novel measures of the tradability of an industry using establishment-level data covering nearly all US economic activity. We find increases in incumbent party vote shares in counties with large numbers of workers in high-skilled tradable services as well as goods, and decreases in counties with high employment in low-skilled manufacturing. Incumbent parties are particularly vulnerable to losing votes in swing states with many low-skilled manufacturing workers. In national-level models, we show for the first time that increasing imports (exports) are associated with decreasing (increasing) presidential incumbent vote shares. The national-level effects are large and politically consequential. We also find an Electoral College incentive to protect the manufacturing sector and to oppose trade agreements.

We apply insights from “new, new” trade theory to explain a puzzling decline in US firm antidumping (AD) filings in an era of persistent foreign currency undervaluations and increasing import competition. Firms exhibit heterogeneity both within and across industries regarding foreign direct investment (FDI). We propose that firms making vertical or resource-seeking investments abroad will be less likely to file AD petitions, and firms are likely to undertake vertical FDI in the context of currency undervaluation. Hence, we argue, the increasing vertical FDI of US firms makes trade disputes far less likely. We use firm-level data to examine the universe of US manufacturing firms and find that AD filers generally conduct no intrafirm trade with filed-against countries. We also find that persistent currency undervaluation is associated over time with increased vertical FDI and intrafirm trade by US multinational corporations (MNCs) in the undervaluing country. Among larger US MNCs, the likelihood of an AD filing is negatively associated with increases in intrafirm trade. In the context of currency undervaluation, we confirm the existing finding that undervaluation is associated with more AD filings. We also find, however, that high levels of intrafirm imports from countries with undervalued currencies significantly decrease the likelihood of AD filings. Our study highlights the centrality of firm heterogeneity in international trade and investment in understanding political mobilization over international economic policy.

The status of Very High Energy (VHE, E$\,{>}\,$50 GeV) gamma-ray observations of BL Lacertae objects is presented. The catalogue of well-established BL Lacertae objects detected at VHE energies contains seven members, and there have been recent reports of the detection of another four. All are nearby, X-ray bright sources. The temporal, spectral and broadband multi-wavelength properties of the sources are reviewed and possible implications for the gamma-ray production mechanism discussed. The most recent detections provide more stringent constraints on the cosmic extragalactic background light level and imply that the Universe is more transparent to VHE gamma radiation than previously thought.

The EGRET experiment detected pulsed emission from several pulsars in the HE energy range 20 MeV < E < 10 GeV. However, no pulsed emission has ever been detected above 300 GeV, which points to a cut-off in pulsed emission somewhere between ∼10 GeV and ∼300 GeV. Software has been developed at UCD which is capable of examining gamma-ray events in the energy range $E>130$ GeV and detecting the signature periodicity of pulsars if it exists. Data recorded on the Crab pulsar with the Whipple Imaging Atmospheric Cerenkov Telescope has been analysed with this software and upper limits on pulsed emission have been obtained.

The field of ground based gamma-ray astronomy has seen rapid growth over the past thirty years with the development of the Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Technique to search for Very High Energy (VHE; E > 100 GeV) gamma radiation. This growth continues with the construction of four third generation telescope systems in Namibia, Australia, La Palma and the USA. These systems will search for VHE gamma radiation from such objects as AGN, SNRs, microquasars, dark matter and the galactic centre.

Summary
DISCUSSION OUTLINE: DESCRIPTIVE/PRESCRIPTIVE/NORMATIVE INTERACTIONS IN MEDICAL DECISION MAKING
Issues relating to values and preferences
Valued consequences that are typically reflected in formal models of medical decision making include the following:
survival (length of life)
quality of life
symptoms
physical function
social function
Are preferences regarding these attributes fixed or labile? How do they change with age, physical status, mental status, interactions with physicians? Prescriptively or normatively, how does one deal with the existence of “multiple selves”? Is the prescriptive solution more complicated than just trying to assess the uncertainty about future preferences, and then take expectations across all possible future utility functions? If perfectly or imperfectly knowable, should future preferences substitute for present preferences in decisions with future consequences?
Examples: labor and anesthesia (Christensen–Szalanski)
smoking and addictive behaviors
myopia, ignorance, or uncertainty about old age
euthanasia (Schelling)
Are some preference functions normatively “better” than others? When is it appropriate for the physician to intervene to try to change patients' preferences?
What are the ethical implications for informed consent?
Example: a couple's desire to have a baby at home, under the care of a midwife
Issues in assessing utilities for health outcomes: Assuming that preferences are stable and measurable, what is the best way to measure them? While proper von Neumann–Morgenstern utility functions may be the prescriptive goal, are there other means to that end that are more reliable or acceptable than using lottery techniques, e.g., category scaling, magnitude estimation? […]
