Economic Factors in Intimate Partner Conflict and Violence

Based on a secondary analysis of married female respondents (n=3191) to the National Survey of Families and Households, Wave II (NSFH2), this research explores the effects of economic factors and race on intimate partner violence and conflict. Findings from OLS and logistic regression analyses are presented, along with implications for social work practice

Human rights and the national interest: The case study of asylum, migration, and national border protection

Since World War II, Australia has been the destination of hundreds of thousands of migrants from countries all over the world. Throughout this time, the government has engaged in different policies of border monitoring, protection, and enforcement. This Essay contends that the government should not waiver in its enforcement of its border, and it should continue to prevent the illegal entry of migrants into Australia. It, however, must do so fairly and compassionately in order to ensure that it protects the human rights of migrants. This argument is supported by the fact that the current international legal order doesn’t provide any further obligations on the state to migrants. Asylum seekers, however, have distinct legal rights from migrants, but distinguishing asylum seekers from migrants is not easy because no bright line exists. By examining the policies of the United States and the European Union while considering the religious discourse of refugees, this Essay concludes that Australia must reexamine its current approach to stopping the boats

On the freshwater shells of Tasmania

No attempt has yet been made to arrange the freshwater shells of Tasmania. The land shells have been carefully catalogued by Mr. Legrand, so that little remains to be desired in that department of our island fauna. The marine shells have received much attention from most eminent naturalsts, though a list carefully criticised, with a well arranged account of the bibliography is much wanted. But the freshwater shells have been almost entirely neglected. There have been one or two descriptions of Physa in Reeve, and one or two other notices of species scattered through various scientific publications, but the majority of the shells here described are new to science

On a new species of Ampullaria

I beg to bring under the notice of the Society a new species of Ampullaria, a genus hitherto unknown in the Australias. Some time since I described all the known freshwater- shells of the island which duly appeared in last year's transactions. Since then I have described a new Valcata, V. tasmanica which was discovered by that most industrious entomologist, Aug. Simson, who obtained it from a creek in Gould's Country. Since then in looking over some shells kindly placed at my disposal by Ronald Gunn, Esq., F.L.S., I have found the Ampullaria which I now describe

On some new species of Tasmanian marine shells

The following species of marine shells have been placed at my disposal for description by Mr. W. Legrand, the wellknown conchologist of Hobart Town. They were all procured recently in a series of dredging operations, conducted by the Rev. H. D. Atkinson, in Long Bay, D'Entrecasteaux Channel. They are eight in number, comprising three species of Marqinella, and one species respectively of the genera. Triforis, Odontostoma, Eulima (?) Neaera, and Cardita. Apparently they have hitherto escaped the attention of naturalists, owing no doubt to their very small size, and probably also because dredging in the interests of conchology has been almost untried in Tasmania

On the genus Fenestella

As species of Fenestella are very common as fossils in the Devonian rocks, but especially those of Tasmania, a few observations on the genus and its affinities will be found useful to geologists, Fenestella is a genus placed now by all palaeontologists in the Class Polyzoa, Order I, Infundibulata

On some Tasmanian Trochidae

In the Proceedings for 1877 this Society did me the honor to publish in its pages a Census of the Marine Shells of the Tasmanian coasts. In that list I discussed some of the claims of certain species, but a great many questions connected with the classification I was obliged to leave untouched. I now propose to deal with the names of some of the Trochidae, and the validity of certain genera as regards those Tasmanian species which are included in them. It will be observed that in many cases I have remarked in the Census that I did not consider certain genera as very reliable. I do not know any family to which this is so applicable as to the Trochidae, and for the present I shall confine my remarks to them
