Successful 2003 Discovery Projects Grants by Institution - Australian ...

Summary:
We propose the development of a comprehensive research framework for the next generation of home
telecare technology. The framework will support the unattended recording of patient physiological data
and allow for patient management and information review by health professionals. It will include
knowledge management tools to support clinical decision making. Research will also be conducted into
the development of mobile community networks and ambulatory monitoring technologies based around
Bluetooth piconets.The long-term outcomes of this research will be improved patient health outcomes in
the chronically ill and a decreased overall health care expenditure by reducing hospital admissions.

Category: 3904 - LAW ENFORCEMENT
Administering Institution: The University of New South Wales
Summary:
This is a follow-up study of a longitudinal (1995-1997) research on police culture. The original research,
based on a cohort of 150 police recruits, analysed the socialisation process and the development of
concepts of police professionalism. The proposed study will track the careers of the cohort and examine
any changes in attitudes to policing and professionalism since the original study. It will be the first study
of its kind in Australia and is expected to further the researcher's already recognised theoretical and
practical contribution to the understanding of police culture and its relationship with the socio-political
conditions of policing.

Administering Institution: The University of New South Wales
Summary:
This project investigates the differing roles of governments and community organisations as influential
factors in the formulation of graphic representations which characterise the prevention campaigns used
in the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Australia 1983-2004. It explains how graphic representations, functioning as
an index of official and public responses to the epidemic, impact on the aesthetic and professional
autonomy of the designer. Complimenting existing quantitative assessments this study uses a
textual-visual analysis and triangulation method to demonstrate the agency of these institutional
constraints placed within the broader range of material forms relating to the campaigns including
brochures, posters, and videos.
