Drunken Mobilities: Backpackers, Alcohol, 'Doing Place', Mark Jayne, Chris Gibson, Gordon Waitt, Gill Valentine Nov 2013

Drunken Mobilities: Backpackers, Alcohol, 'Doing Place', Mark Jayne, Chris Gibson, Gordon Waitt, Gill Valentine

Chris Gibson

This article seeks to advance the understanding of the role of alcohol, drinking and drunkenness as an important, if under-researched, element of tourism. In so doing, we work at the intersection of three bodies of writing focused on mundane mobilities; performativities of tourism and geographies of alcohol, drinking and drunkenness. Drawing on empirical research undertaken in Australia, we highlight how alcohol, drinking and drunkenness are key to backpacking holidays: first, to help soften a number of (un)comfortable embodied and emotional materialities associated with budget travel; second, as an aid to spatial and temporal imperatives of ‘passing the time’ and ‘being …


Blue-Collar Creativity: Reframing Custom-Car Culture In The Imperilled Industrial City, Andrew Warren, Chris Gibson Nov 2013

Blue-Collar Creativity: Reframing Custom-Car Culture In The Imperilled Industrial City, Andrew Warren, Chris Gibson

Chris Gibson

This paper hitches a ride with young car enthusiasts to explore how their vehicles catalyse a unique form of vernacular creativity, in a seemingly imperilled industrial city setting.While television and print media regularly demonise young drivers for street racing and `hoon' behaviour, this paper purposely adopts a different perspective, on circuits of production and qualitative aspects of the urban custom-car design scene that constitute forms of vernacular creativity. Beyond moral panics little is known about movements, networks, and linkages between custom cars, young enthusiasts, and urban spaces from which their activities emerge. Utilising responsive, in-depth ethnographic methods in Wollongong, Australia, …

Sustainable Household Capability: Which Households Are Doing The Work Of Environmental Sustainability?, Gordon Waitt, Peter Caputi, Chris Gibson, Carol Farbotko, Lesley Head, Nick Gill, Elyse Stanes Nov 2013

Sustainable Household Capability: Which Households Are Doing The Work Of Environmental Sustainability?, Gordon Waitt, Peter Caputi, Chris Gibson, Carol Farbotko, Lesley Head, Nick Gill, Elyse Stanes

Chris Gibson

This paper presents a framework for analysing which households are doing ‘their bit’ for sustainability in an era of climate change, using a two-stage cluster analysis of sustainable household capabilities. The framework segments households by their reported level of commitment to ‘pro-sustainability’ practices common to conventional government policies. Results are presented from a large-scale survey of Wollongong households, New South Wales, Australia. Results illustrate the importance of approaching household sustainability through everyday practices. Attention is drawn to the wide variation in participation in specific household sustainability practices. Investigation into sustainable household capability by household segments shows the limits of even …

Conceptualising Agency In The Lives And Actions Of Rural Young People, E. Robson, S. Bell, Natascha Klocker Nov 2013

Conceptualising Agency In The Lives And Actions Of Rural Young People, E. Robson, S. Bell, Natascha Klocker

Natascha Klocker

This chapter aims to build conceptually upon the accounts of young poopIe's actions in specific rural settings outlined in the proceeding chapters. like the wider body of ongoing reaearh on young people's everyday lives across the world, the foregoing chapters clearly demonstrate how the shift to viewing young people as individuals with the capacity to act and shape their own lives, i.e. to have agency, rather than seeing children simply 'adults in training' (Dunne 1980), passive and innocent dependants, or victims' has become firmly established in children's and youth studies. This volume illustrates some of the many ways in which …


An Example Of 'Thin' Agency: Child Domestic Workers In Tanzania, Natascha Klocker Nov 2013

An Example Of 'Thin' Agency: Child Domestic Workers In Tanzania, Natascha Klocker

Natascha Klocker

Child domestic works are children 'under the age of 18 who work in other people's households doing domestic chores, caring for children, and running errands, among other tasks' (UNICEF 1999:2). They can be paid in cash or kind and are employed by (and usually live in the homes of) adults who are not their parents. This chapter focuses on recent research centred on 'employing' three former child domestic workers (aged 14, 16 and 18) to be researchers and to undertake an investigation into CDW in the Iringa Region of Tanzania.

Anti-Cancer Activity Of An Acid-Labile N-Alkylisatin Conjugate Targeting The Transferrin Receptor, Vineesh Indira Chandran, Lidia Matesic, Julie Locke, Danielle Skropeta, Marie Ranson, Kara Vine Nov 2013

Anti-Cancer Activity Of An Acid-Labile N-Alkylisatin Conjugate Targeting The Transferrin Receptor, Vineesh Indira Chandran, Lidia Matesic, Julie Locke, Danielle Skropeta, Marie Ranson, Kara Vine

Danielle Skropeta

We have previously reported a series of pH-sensitive imine-linked N-alkylisatin prodrugs that are stable at pH 7.4, but readily cleaved at pH 4.5. Herein, one of the most potent prodrugs, 5,7-dibromo-N-(pmethoxybenzyl) isatin (NAI), was functionalized with a para-phenylpropionic acid linker, and the resulting NAI–imine prodrug conjugated to transferrin (Tf) to form a NAI–imine–Tf conjugate. Cytotoxicity assays revealed the conjugate was equipotent to the free drug against MCF-7 breast cancer cells, with clear selectivity patterns based on TfR levels. These results suggest that this novel isatin-based cytotoxin conjugated to a tumor targeting protein via an acid-labile linker warrants further preclinical testing.

Arange of N-phenethyl,N-phenacyl, and N-(1- and 2-naphthylmethyl) derivatives of 5,7-dibromoisatin 2 were prepared byN-alkylation reactions. Their activity against human monocyte-like histiocytic lymphoma (U937), leukemia (Jurkat), and breast carcinoma (MDA-MB-231) cell lines was assessed. The results allowed further development of structureactivity relationships. The compound 5,7-dibromo-N-(1-naphthylmethyl)-1H-indole-2,3-dione 5a was the most potent against U937 cells with an IC50 value of 0.19 microM.
