This collection contains data on some estimated and mapped soil physical properties such as: clay, sand, pH, Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC), and organic carbon (OC) generated through predictive models using a developed framework that quantitatively assess the accuracy of data collected with proximal soil sensors and spectroscopic techniques such as visible near-infrared visNIR and portable X-ray Fluorescence (pXRF) spectroscopy. First, tools were provided to assist in the collation of freely available data such as elevation and satellite derived data as well as on-farm data produced with electromagnetic induction (EM) and gama radiometricts. Second, an automated site selection software was developed to collate and process covariate data to identify 25 samples sites across L'lara, a mixed-farming property located ~11 km Narrabri in NSW in 2020. Fieldwork and example mapping soil properties were conducted at L'lara using visNIR spectrocopy and pXRF spectrometers. A conditioned Latin hypercube sampling design was chosen to sample the distribution of the covariate space under both cropping and pasture on the 1,850 ha property. Covariate data supplied to the software included on-site EM, gamma radiometrics, yield, soil legacy data, plus elevation and satellite derived data. A soil inference system (SPEC-SINFERS) was developed, using other spectrally active properties through pedotransfer functions (PTFs) to predic further properties such as available water capacity (AWC) from sensor predicted properties. A large spectral library was construted with > 8,000 pre-existing soil samples predominantly from grain-growing regions of NSW and additional accession from Qld., Victoria and Tasmania and fieldwork data. Multi-depth mapping of soil properties and attributes (Depth-to pH constraint) was also investigated to provide agronomic interpretations to the produced soil maps and correlations with available yield data. The accuracy of mapped soil properties was tested under data-rich and data-poor scenarios. Calibration and validations of each scenario were made with laboratory data, available covariate data (elevation, satellite image) and with/without on-farm colleted EM and gamma data. RMSE was used in percentage change as reference to other studies. Mapped yield products revealed significant correlations for canola, chickpea and wheat in two paddocks over two growing seasons. Datasets generated for this project are stored in the RDS - GRDC_US00087 (\\shared.sydney.edu.au\research-data\PRJ-GRDC_US00087). Please contact Prof. Alex McBratney to request access to them.

This study was the first to systematically map local government (LG) action on creating a healthy, sustainable, and equitable food system in Australia, focusing on NSW and Victoria. We searched the websites of all LGs in NSW and Victoria for policy documents with actions related to a healthy, sustainable, and equitable food system. We then analysed these documents against a framework of recommendations for LG action on addressing food system challenges. This infographic provides a visual representation of the study's findings.

As the world reflects upon one year since the first cases of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and prepare for and experience surges in cases, it is important to identify the most crucial ethical issues that might lie ahead so that countries are able to plan accordingly. Some ethical issues are rather obvious to predict, such as the ethical issues surrounding the use of immunity certificates, contact tracing, and the fair allocation of vaccines globally. Yet, the most significant ethical challenge that the world must address in the next year and beyond is to ensure that we learn the ethical lessons of the first year of this pandemic. Learning from our collective experiences thus far constitutes our greatest moral obligation. Appreciating that decision-making in the context of a pandemic is constrained by unprecedented complexity and uncertainty, beginning in June 2020, an international group of 17 experts in bioethics spanning 15 countries (including low-, middle-, and high-income countries) met virtually to identify what we considered to be the most significant ethical challenges and accompanying lessons faced thus far in the COVID-19 pandemic. Once collected, the group met over the course of several virtual meetings to identify challenges and lessons that are analytically distinct in order to identify common ethical themes under which different challenges and lessons could be grouped. The result, described in this paper, is what this expert group consider to be the top five ethical lessons from the initial experience with COVID-19 that must be learned.

Coastline reveals profoundly different perceptions of the liminal space where land meets sea. Over centuries, artists have represented its changing appearance and meaning – sometimes as part of a journey, sometimes as a site of contact or work, sometimes just for contemplation. In Australia, the only nation that is an island continent, the coastline plays a highly symbolic cultural role defining identity, while demarcating the border as an exclusion zone. Today, with global warming causing rising sea levels and eroding shorelines, the coast has become a highly-charged space demarcating potential zones of conflict and loss. This collection-based exhibition offers an art historical overview of the role of maritime representations across more than three centuries.

Australian apples significantly contribute to the Australian economy and dietary requirements. Their safety is ensured by food safety management systems (FSMS) audited by commercial entities. Production environments, systems and apparent microbial risk vary, resulting in company-specific food safety practices. Holistic, objective measurement of how a company's FSMS is performing could determine if these practices are appropriate for the level of risk of contamination with foodborne pathogens. In this study, the performance of FSMS was measured in seven apple packhouses using a modified FSMS diagnostic tool (FSMS-DT). Results were compared with a previous observational study that found variable application of food safety controls and low assurance activities, to investigate the potential for improving FSMS assessment and enhancing more consistent application of controls. Overall, packhouses demonstrated high FSMS performance. Higher performance was measured in packhouses with better-designed controls and where there was higher food safety knowledge among employees. Comprehensive measurement of food safety management better identified strengths such as supportive management, systematic use of feedback to modify the FSMS, and a low level of nonconforming product. Common system weaknesses included low requirement for food safety knowledge among workers, limited validation of preventive controls, and limited use of expert knowledge for risk assessment. Results confirmed the findings in the observational study but assessment using the FSMS-DT better examined the details of the FSMS and the connections between its components, thus enabling continuous improvement. The diagnostic tool could assist the industry assess their FSMS and identify opportunities for improvement of control and assurance activities.

Roman Spectres explores ancient Roman identity and how contemporary societies have conceptualised the ancient Roman world. The exhibition brings together significant Roman portraiture of the Nicholson Collection with large ceramic vessels (amphorae), funerary inscriptions and Pompeiian frescoes as individual touchstones to the lives of named and unnamed Roman people. Underlying themes of death, commemoration, remembrance and discovery underpin each section of the exhibition. The objects selected for display were chosen in order to highlight the role of these particular material types in academic constructions of historical narratives. Roman Spectres also includes a LEGO recreation of Pompeii, with three different narratives woven together in an anachronistic presentation of the history of the site, including its ancient buildings, re-discovery and role in European and Western popular culture. Through re-telling the history of this significant archaeological site in a popular and accessible medium, it is intended that visitors will be able to reflect on how historical meaning is created in the modern day, and on Pompeii's role in shaping modern understandings of ancient Roman society.
