Cancer is a group of diseases in which cells of the body divide and develop uncontrollably, with the ability to infiltrate and infect nearby cells (World Health Organization, 2018a; Yabroff, 2019). Cancer is the result of various alterations in the processes that guide and control cell proliferation, spread and invasion (WHO, 2018a). This leads to downstream changes that alter the sequencing and...

Technological change is a major driver of social change and the dominant source of economic growth....

For a significantly long time Australian culture has been separated by the discussion over asylum seekers and refugees, who touch our shores by boat. In the expressions of our National Anthem, they have 'come across the seas', yet the two sides of governmental issues have misrepresented the test they present to this nation. Australia's reaction has been to devise ever-harsher strategies that intend to prevent those escaping war and brutality and to detain individuals who are in reality unfortunate casualties....

This case study examined this hypothesis by evaluating the occurrences of trees and mistletoes in a large remnant area of natural vegetation in Australia. Mistletoes are generally hemiparasites that feed on trees and shrubs. Therefore, this study provided an opportunity to examine the distribution of species and the ecological relationship between hosts and parasites. In Australian forests and woodlands, Mistletoes and host plants had...
