The diversity management approach to equal employment opportunity in Australian organisations

This article assesses the 'Managing Diversity' (MD) approach in Australia, examining its drivers, discussing its relationship to legislation designed to promote equity, and examining it as a set of management practices. It has been plausibly argued, on efficiency grounds, that responsibility for achieving equality objectives must be shifted to organisations as this links contextual conditions to organisational processes. However, even where there is some prescription and guidance such as that provided by Australian Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) legislation targeted specifically to women employees, both practice and outcomes are variable. This is even more the case with MD where there are no guiding principles or legislative support. The article examines the best practice EEO and MD programs of Australian organisations to demonstrate the approaches and programs that are being developed at the workplace and to highlight the limitations of the 'business case' approach underlying such programs.

Women at work! evaluating equal employment policies and outcomes in construction

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine equal employment policies in Australia’s male-dominated construction industry and categorise the types of activities undertaken against an equal employment typology to identify links to outcomes for women in the form of increased participation and management. Design/methodology/approach To explore the issue of low representation of women in construction through the content analysis of 83 construction organisations’ equal employment opportunity (EEO) reports. Findings This industry is not engaging with equal employment issues and the numbers of women working in the industry and/or management are based on individual decision rather than an institutional commitment to equality in diversity. Research limitations/implications Australian legislation mandates organisational reporting of relevant data and offers public access to this information offering a unique data set. Practical implications An ageing population means that the predominately older male workforce is leaving construction in greater numbers with fewer potential replacements making new labour markets a vital consideration. Social implications Legislation and organisational policies designed to promote EEO for women have existed in numerous countries for decades. One objective of this legislation was to reduce male domination in senior positions and industries/occupations where women were under-represented. Despite this, few women are employed in construction in operational or management roles worldwide. Originality/value This study offers a comprehensive analysis of a male-dominated industry in one jurisdiction rather than a few selected cases and uses a broader rigorous typology for analysis that acknowledges both equal and different treatment options.

Prediction of reaeration rates in square, stirred tanks

Experiments were conducted on the oxygen transfer coefficient, k(L)a(20), through surface aeration in geometrically similar square tanks, with a rotor of diameter D fitted with six flat blades. An optimal geometric similarity of various linear dimensions, which produced maximum k(L)a(20) for any rotational speed of rotor N by an earlier study, was maintained. A simulation equation uniquely correlating k = k(L)a(20)(nu/g(2))(1/3) (nu and g are kinematic viscosity of water and gravitational constant, respectively), and a parameter governing the theoretical power per unit volume, X = (ND2)-D-3/(g(4/3)nu(1/3)), is developed. Such a simulation equation can be used to predict maximum k for any N in any size of such geometrically similar square tanks. An example illustrating the application of results is presented. Also, it has been established that neither the Reynolds criterion nor the Froude criterion is singularly valid to simulate either k or K = k(L)a(20)/N, simultaneously in all the sizes of tanks, even through they are geometrically similar. Occurrence of "scale effects" due to the Reynolds and the Froude laws of similitude on both k and K are also evaluated.

琼脂分级产物的研究

琼脂（agar，又称琼胶）作为世界三大工业海藻胶之一，被广泛应用于食品、医药、生物技术、造纸等领域。本文首先研究了琼脂的分级方法，用DEAE-Cellulose将石花菜琼脂分级，得到四个级分，即水级分、0.5mol/L NaCl级分、1.0mol/L NaCl级分、2.5mol/L NaCl级分。分析了各级分的理化性质，并通过IR和~（13）C-NMR光谱研究其化学结构。石花菜琼脂分级得到的四个级分中，水级分的硫酸基含量为0.16%，凝胶强度为1130 g/cm~2（1%浓度），电内渗（EEO）为0.12，主要质量标准为Sigma公司的低电内渗琼脂糖(agarose）产品接近，符合低电内渗琼脂糖产品的质量要求。1.0mol/L NaCl级分和2.5mol/L NaCl级分的硫酸基含量较高，分别为22.8%和32.5%，合称为硫琼脂(agaropectin）。在琼脂糖的应用中，特别是现代生物技术研究中，需要低凝固温度琼脂糖。本文以石花菜琼脂分级得到的水级分为原料，采用甲基化反应制备低凝固温度琼脂糖。实验产品的凝固温度为30.1 ℃(1.5%浓度），融化温度为64.8 ℃（1.5%浓度），凝胶强度为264 g/cm~2(1%浓度），主要质量标准与Sigma公司的低凝固温度琼脂糖产品接近，符合低凝固温度琼脂糖产品的质量要求。随着对多糖生物学功能的深入，海藻硫酸多糖表现出多种生物活性，其活性研究已经成为目前新药研究的一个热点。到目前为止，有关琼脂分级产物的生物活性研究较少。本文在研究石菜硫琼脂的组成和主要理化特性的基础上，对基体内外抗凝血活性进行了较系统的研究。新西兰兔腹主动脉血体外抗凝实验结果表明，石花菜硫琼脂具有明显的体外抗凝血活性，在3.125mg/ml ～ 25mg/ml剂量范围内呈现量效关系；大鼠体内抗凝血实验的结果表明其口服可以吸收，在体内产生抗凝血作用，在100 mg/kg·d ～ 400 mg/kg·d剂量范围内，与全血凝血时间(CT）、凝血酶时间（TT）、凝血酶原时间（PT）、部分凝血活酶时间（KPTT）的延长及血浆纤维蛋白原（Fib）含量的降低均呈剂量依赖关系。就其抗凝血机制而言，石花菜硫琼脂的抗凝血作用既影响凝血系统，又影响纤溶系统。
