The effect of liquor licence concentrations in local areas on rates of assault in New South Wales

This paper argues that regulatory authorities should be concerned about increases in liquor outlet density. Abstract Aim: To investigate the relationship between liquor licence concentrations and assault rates in Local Government Areas (LGAs) in New South Wales. Method: Police, liquor licensing and socio-demographic data were analysed. Spatial regression analyses were conducted to measure associations between liquor licence concentrations and domestic violence (DV) and non-domestic violence (non-DV) assault rates. Results: The concentration of hotel licences in an LGA, particularly at higher density levels, was strongly predictive of both DV and non-DV assault rates. A similar, but slightly weaker, association was found for the concentration of packaged licences and DV and non-DV assault rates. On-premises concentrations also predicted DV and non-DV assault rates at the LGA level but, unlike hotel concentration effects, in this case there was no evidence of stronger effects at higher density levels. A significant relationship between DV assault rates and the concentration of clubs was also found, but the association between the concentration of clubs and the non-DV assault rate was not as strong. Conclusion: Regulatory authorities should be concerned about increases in liquor outlet density. In particular, increases in the density of hotels above 2 per 1,000 residents are of greater concern than increases in the density of premises with other types of liquor licenc

Camelina (Camelina sativa L. Crantz) a new oilseed crop for Mediterranean and Balkan European climates

Nowadays in Europe the new multipurpose oilseed crop, camelina (Camelina sativa L. Crantz), is not yet widely cultivated but in the last decade it has gained interest among farmers and other stakeholders in the value chain, in relation to its satisfactory yield, low input requirement, and suitability to different pedo-climates. If until now camelina has been grown as a spring crop in northern Europe, more recently southern environments in the Mediterranean basin and in the Balkan region have been targeted as suitable growing areas, either in autumn, winter or spring sowing. Nevertheless, the limited number of winter genotypes available, together with the typical winter season in those areas which is not very harsh, make the possibility to grow spring camelina genotypes with autumn cycle a feasible option. Aiming at defining the most suitable genotype and the optimal sowing date in the Mediterranean and Balkan regions a common trial has been established in autumn 2020 comparing four camelina genotypes (3 spring + 1 winter) and two sowing dates (early vs. late) across three locations in Italy (Bologna, 44° 30’ N, 11° 23’ E), Serbia (Novi Sad, 45° 15’ N, 19° 51’ E), and Spain (Lleida, 52° 10’ N, 4° 29’ E)

Camelina germination under osmotic stress - trend lines, time courses and critical points

Camelina [Camelina sativa (L.) Crantz] is native species of Eurasia, which is gaining interest world wide due to its better cold, heat, and drought tolerance, and less susceptibility to disease and pests than oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.). Furthermore, studies conducted in Canada and USA reported that as far as yield is concerned, camelina could be competitive against other Brassicas. Water shortage during germination is one of the major constraints that induces irregular and delayed seed germination and emergence, leading to poor plant establishment. Camelina has relatively low water requirement and high tolerance to drought, at all stages of development, even at germination and early seedling growth. Aiming at understanding the response of camelina germination under osmotic stress and the identification of critical soil moisture levels for successful establishment, two spring cultivars, developed at the Institute of Field and Vegetable crops Novi Sad, were compared (NS Slatka and NS Zlatka) under 9 levels of osmotic stress, ranging from 0 MPa to -1.6 MPa. Seeds were kept at 20°C and 8/16 h light/dark cycle. Osmotic potential of solution was obtained by using polyethylene glycol. Seeds were considered germinated when radicle was at least 2-mm-long. Germination was surveyed daily, while final germination was determined when no germinated seeds were recorded for 3 consecutive d, or after 15 d of incubation

The McCarthy Campaign in Indianapolis (1968)

This paper is about the primary campaign of Senator Eugene McCarthy in the State of Indiana in 1968. It will focus its attention on Indianapolis, the largest city and the capital of the state, and an area where the Senator did quite poorly. (1) Though some magazine articles, newspaper stories and books have been useful, this paper is basically the campaign as viewed by 20 participants. Without their cooperation, it could not have been written
