Full textAbstract:
Queen Victoria (1819-1901) and Prince Albert (1819-1861) have long loomed large in Victorian sculpture studies. Numerous scholars have examined the public statues of Victoria and Albert that were erected throughout the United Kingdom and across the British Empire between the 1840s and the 1920s. Yet, to date, the couple’s own patronage of sculpture has been largely overlooked. In light of this lacuna in the scholarship, this thesis examines the formation, display and dissemination of Victoria’s and Albert’s sculpture collection; explores the public sculpture projects with which they were involved; and analyses contemporary responses to their patronage. In so doing, it reveals what sculpture meant to Victoria and Albert personally; what their patronage meant to the contemporary sculpture profession; and what impact they had on the wider history and historiography of Victorian sculpture. The thesis is organised chronologically and broadly divided into three periods, representing three distinct but interrelated trends in the formation, arrangement, dissemination and reception of Victoria’s and Albert’s collection and the changing status of royal patronage. The first is the period between Victoria’s and Albert’s marriage in 1840 and Albert’s death in 1861. In this period, the couple’s patronage was prolific, varied and widely disseminated. They commissioned and acquired an extensive amount of sculpture for the royal residences and closely involved themselves with numerous public sculpture projects such as the sculpture programme in the New Houses of Parliament. This thesis demonstrates the complex imbrication of the couple’s public and private patronage of sculpture by revealing the extent to which their involvement with public projects informed their private patronage and the degree to which this fed into their public image as patrons. The second part looks at the decade after Albert’s death, a period in which Victoria concentrated her patronage almost exclusively on memorial busts and statues of him. Her various memorial commissions have often been treated interchangeably as simple indexes of her legendary grief. This thesis restores specificity to this body of memorial sculpture and uncovers the extent and sophistication of Victoria’s patronage in this period. However, it also shows the damage done to her reputation as a patron through her seemingly relentless desire to commission posthumous portraits of Albert. The third part concentrates on the last three decades of Victoria’s life. It reveals the extent to which she remained active as a patron and the degree to which her taste for sculpture evolved in the 1880s and 1890s. Yet, Victoria’s patronage was indelibly associated with mid-century sculptors whom Edmund Gosse, chief evangelist of ‘The New Sculpture’ dismissed as representative of ‘the dark age’ in the history of British sculpture. At a time when public statues of Victoria by some of the leading sculptors of the age were being erected across the globe, her position as a leading patron of contemporary sculpture was steadily undermined by the perception that she was stuck in the past.

Full textAbstract:
Denne studien er en lesning av Victoria Benedictssons roman Pengar fra 1885. Jeg tar for meg tidligere lesninger av romanen og jobber dels i forlengelse av dem, dels utover dem. Felles for de tidligere lesningene som blir gjennomgått er at de har vanskelig for å skille mellom fiksjon og virkelighet, og de leser Pengar som beretningen om Benedictssons liv. I denne studien har jeg forsøkt å frigjøre meg fra forfatteren, og leser romanen som autonomt verk. Lesningen viser hva tidligere lesninger har gått glipp av ved å lese romanen som beretningen om Benedictssons liv. Avhandlingen er todelt, hvor første del består av kapittel 1, 2 og 3. I kapittel 1 presenterer jeg Pengar og Victoria Benedictsson, og gjør rede for utgangspunktet for avhandlingen. I kapittel 2 og 3 tar jeg for meg tidligere lesninger, med utgangspunkt i Birgitta Holms bok Victoria Benedictsson (2007) og Dobbeltblikket (1980) av Jette Lundbo Levy. Begge verkene står sentrale i forskningen rundt Benedictsson og hennes forfatterskap, og de viser hvordan tidligere lesninger har vært svært preget av å lese Pengar som en del av Benedictssons liv. Det jeg mener er problematiske lesninger av romanen, motiverer meg til å lese Pengar ut fra egne perspektiver og innfallsvinkler. Det er dette som er utgangspunktet for analysedelen, som utgjør andre del av oppgaven. Her gir jeg en inngående analyse av hovedpersonen i romanen, samt de mannlige karakterene. Jeg fokuserer på relasjonene mellom karakterene, og hvordan de utvikler seg gjennom romanen. I kapittel 5 om de mannlige karakterene er Pål Bjørbys avhandling The study of a vision in the authorship of Victoria Benedictsson (1983) en viktig sekundærkilde. I kapittel 6 beveger jeg meg inn på en del av romanen som har fått overraskende lite fokus tidligere, nemlig kunst. Det er drømmen om kunsten som driver hovedpersonen gjennom romanen, og det er også kunsten som for alvor setter i gang hennes frigjøring. Gjennom å lese romanen med fokus på kunstens funksjon viser jeg hvordan romanen kommenterer sin samtid. Jeg viser hvordan Pengar gjennom å vise til Julius Kronbergs maleri”Jaktnymfen” fra 1876, tar del i sedelighetsdebatten. Romanen kommenterer også litteratur og penger, noe som blir belyst mot slutten av oppgaven.

Full textAbstract:
During the nineteenth century, defence was a major issue in Victoria and Australia, as indeed it was in other British colonies and the United Kingdom. Considerable pressure was brought to bear by London on the self-governing colonies to help provide for their own defence against internal unrest and also possible invasions or incursions by nations such as France, Russia and the United States.From 1851 until defence was handed over to the new Australian Commonwealth at Federation in 1901, the Victorian colonial government spent considerable energy and money fortifying parts of Port Phillip Bay and the western coastline as well as developing the first colonial navy within the British Empire. Citizens were invited to form volunteer corps in their local areas as a second tier of defence behind the Imperial troops stationed in Victoria. When the garrison of Imperial troops was withdrawn in 1870, these units of amateur citizen soldiers formed the basis of the colony’s defence force. Following years of indecision, ineptitude and ad hoc defence planning that had left the colony virtually defenceless, in 1883 Victoria finally adopted a professional approach to defending the colony. The new scheme of defence allowed for a complete re-organisation of not only the colony’s existing naval and military forces, but also the command structure and supporting services. For the first time an integrated defence scheme was established that co-ordinated the fixed defences (forts, batteries minefields) with the land and naval forces. Other original and unique aspects of the scheme included the appointment of the first Minister of Defence in the Australian colonies and the first colonial Council of Defence to oversee the joint defence program. All of this was achieved under the guidance of Imperial advisors who sought to integrate the colony’s defences into the wider Imperial context.
This thesis seeks to analyse Victoria’s colonial defence scheme on a number of levels – firstly, the nature of the final defence scheme that was finally adopted in 1883 after years of vacillation, secondly, the effectiveness of the scheme in defending Victoria, thirdly, how the scheme linked to the greater Australasian and Imperial defence, and finally the political, economic, social and technological factors that shaped defence in Victoria during the second half of the nineteenth century.

The Communicable Diseases, Epidemiology and Surveillance (CDES) branch, Victorian Government Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), works closely with the Microbiological Diagnostic Unit Public Health Laboratory (MDU) to conduct surveillance of communicable diseases in Victoria. From February 2018 to December 2019, I attended field placements at both CDES and MDU. This thesis comprises projects which together meet the requirements for the Masters of Philosophy (Applied Epidemiology) (MAE). The projects include: an analysis to assess changes in the epidemiology of invasive pneumococcal disease in Victoria, 2008-2018; an evaluation of the surveillance of antimicrobial resistance in Victoria; a cross-sectional study of the genomic epidemiology of vancomycin-resistant enterococci, Victoria, November 2018; investigation of an outbreak of salmonellosis at a Mother's day lunch in regional Victoria, and recruitment of case-controls for a multi-jurisdictional outbreak investigation of hepatitis A. In addition, this thesis describes teaching activities undertaken as part of the MAE.

The Health Protection Branch of the Victorian Government
Department of Health and Human Services monitors and responds to
incidents that could adversely affect the health of Victorians.
During 2014-2015, I completed a field placement with the branch,
assisting with numerous public health investigations and
responses. In doing so I fulfilled the requirements of the Master
of Philosophy in Applied Epidemiology (MAE). The skills I gained
are demonstrated in this thesis.
Evaluation of a public health surveillance system is a core
requirement for the MAE program. I evaluated Victoria’s
surveillance and response to legionellosis, which includes both
disease surveillance and environmental surveillance and response
arms. I found little evidence to support the current practice of
sampling and disinfecting cooling towers around the home and
workplace for sporadic cases. Improved co-ordination between
databases and strategic use of spatial software could help
develop more targeted and useful approaches in the future.
I embarked on two epidemiological projects. I designed a cross
sectional study examining the prevalence of Legionella in
domestic potable water and developed participant resources
including letters to explain results, meeting the MAE requirement
to communicate findings to a non-scientific audience. The study
was not completed due to legal considerations; however the
proposal and relevant participant resources are included as an
appendix.
I completed an epidemiological project estimating the number of
notified sporadic Salmonella Typhimurium 9 Phage type 9 cases
likely to be associated with a recurrent outbreak source during a
five year period. I examined 301 clinical Salmonella isolates,
including sporadic and outbreak isolates from a series of linked
outbreaks, and used multi-locus variable number tandem repeat
analysis and whole genome sequence results to estimate the number
of isolates genetically linked to the outbreak strain. Outbreak
cases accounted for just one third of all isolates estimated to
be closely related to the main outbreak clade. This project
inspired my lesson from the field, in which I taught MAE
colleagues how to analyse MLVA data.
I investigated an outbreak of Salmonella Typhimurium phage type
44 at a school function. I conducted a cohort study and
interviewed twenty-nine out of thirty guests, of which ten were
affected. Roast beef appetiser was the most likely food vehicle
for Salmonella infection. Cross-contamination from raw eggs
during preparation was a possible source.
I analysed a public health dataset to assist a public health
investigation into suspected antimony exposure in a rural mining
town in Victoria. Residents were concerned about potential health
effects from exposure to antimony dust from a local mine. Many
sought urinary antimony testing to quantify exposure, with
numerous elevated results. I used multivariate regression to
examine risk factors for elevated urinary antimony and
demonstrated residential proximity to the mine was not associated
with urinary antimony results. Overwhelmingly, the largest risk
factor for elevated results was the month of testing, consistent
with false positive laboratory reports.
This thesis documents my experience and capabilities gained
during the MAE program, and demonstrates my contribution to
protecting the public health of Victorians.

O questionário aplicado na fase de diagnóstico evidenciou a necessidade de intervenção em determinadas áreas do programa, nomeadamente a comunicação e o envolvimento dos colaboradores. Estas constituem-se como alvo de proposta de melhoria. Atendendo a que as equipas dispersas regionalmente não revelam tanta recetividade, interesse e motivação para o programa, recomenda-se que estas equipas possam igualmente beneficiar de um contacto mais direto com o mesmo, não só no que ao seu conhecimento diz respeito mas também a possibilidade de participarem ativamente nas diversas atividades desenvolvidas. Assim, a proposta apresentada pretende resolver ou minimizar as lacunas a este nível através do: incremento do conhecimento do programa e do envolvimento e participação dos colaboradores no mesmo. O foco do projeto é garantir o reforço do mote central do programa, em que “as iniciativas são…de TODOS, partilhadas por TODOS e para TODOS!”, acreditando que com o compromisso e envolvimento de todos os colaboradores, o caminho para o sucesso do programa será uma realidade.
This project aims to analyse the social responsibility program of VICTORIA - Seguros (entitled VICTORIA Somos nós!) through the balance of its activities after one year of implementation, to ensure the design of an intervention proposal to its optimization and value creation for most of its employees. The questionnaire applied in the diagnosis phase has highlighted the need for intervention in certain areas of the program, as communication and the involvement of employees. These constitute the improvement proposal target. The regionally dispersed teams do not reveal much receptivity, interest and motivation for the program, so it is recommended that these teams can also benefit from a more direct contact with it, not only with regard to their knowledge but also the possibility to actively participate in the various activities developed. Thus, the intervention proposal presented aims to solve or minimize the gaps at this level through the improvement of the program´s knowledge and the involvement and participation of employees in it. The project focus is to ensure the strengthening of the central theme of the program "initiatives are ... of ALL, shared by ALL and for ALL!", believing that with the commitment and involvement of all employees, the way to program success will be a reality.

Mountain, Mary Ann Forbes. "The Victoria emotion recognition test." Thesis, 1992. https://dspace.library.uvic.ca//handle/1828/9620.
Full textAbstract:
Emotional disorders are common in people with brain damage. It is often difficult to determine whether such disorders are a result of a deficit in recognition, expression, or regulation of emotion due to brain damage per se, or if they are reactive to other functional limitations.
The Victoria Emotion Recognition Test (VERT) was developed to provide a standardized tool for the assessment of deficits in the recognition of facial and tonal affect. The VERT was constructed on the basis of neurophysiological and behavioural theories of emotion and neuropsychological theories of agnosia. The VERT consists of three subtests in which four emotions (angry, sad, happy and afraid) are presented at three levels of intensity. The visual subtest presents photographs of faces; the auditory subtest, audiotaped voice clips; and the auditory/visual subtest, both photographs and voice clips.
Psychometric results of the standardization studies suggest that the VERT measures an aspect of the recognition of facial and tonal emotion that is independent of more basic skills in face recognition and auditory nonverbal memory.
The theoretical construct of recognition of emotion was investigated within the framework of an "affective agnosia". The results suggest that a broader concept of agnosia is necessary in order to include failures in recognition of emotion within this framework.Graduate

This thesis by publication analyses the emergence of independent judicial councils
and their role in facilitating judicial control of court administration in Australia,
Canada, Ireland, the Netherlands, Sweden, the UK, the USA and other countries.
While much research has been conducted into the relative merits of judicial control
of court administration, the thesis extends the court governance literature by
developing an analytical policy framework for a model Judicial Council of Victoria
with broad statutory responsibility for improving the quality of justice in the court
system. The thesis then applies the proposed analytical model to assess the legal
and institutional framework of Court Services Victoria (‘CSV’), which was
established in 2014 in order to transfer the responsibility for court administration
from the executive government to the judiciary. The thesis argues that an
independent judicial council, such as CSV, requires a strong developmental
mandate to assist the courts improve their operations and respond to a multitude of
internal and external challenges that they inherited from the executive system of
court administration. At the level of the courts, the framework envisages the
establishment of a compact management board, comprising executive judges and
the court CEO, which is modelled upon a corporate board of executive directors,
with full responsibility for court administration.

Full textAbstract:
Introduction: In the Archives of the University of Melbourne there are two black notebooks containing the handwritten reminiscences of William Tyson Kendall, the “founder of the veterinary profession in Australia”. In fact, Kendall makes very little reference to the veterinary college that he founded, his teaching or the trials that he was to confront, but out of that chance encounter with his notebooks I became interested in the early years of the profession in Victoria; the profession to which Kendall devoted so much of his incredible energy and enthusiasm. Further inquiry only served to enhance this interest, but revealed that there was a paucity not only of primary source material, but also of recorded history. During the course of conversations with both retired and active practitioners, I have frequently been told, and can verify, that veterinarians are great talkers, and many of them are keen to preserve their historical heritage, but are the worst procrastinators when it comes to the written word.

McCulloch, Jude. "Blue army: paramilitary policing in Victoria." 1998. http://repository.unimelb.edu.au/10187/2865.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis focuses on the changes to law enforcement precipitated by the establishment of counter terrorist squads within State police forces during the late 1970's. It looks at the impact of Victoria's specialist counter terrorist squad, the Special Operations Group (SOG), on policing in Victoria and asks whether the group has led to the development of a more 'military based' approach to policing. The research demonstrates that the SOG has been the harbinger of more military styles of policing involving high levels of confrontation, more lethal weapons and a greater range of weapons and more frequent recourse to deadly force. The establishment of groups like the SOG has also undermined Australia's democratic traditions by blurring the boundaries between the police and military and weakening the safeguards which have in then past prevented military force being used against citizens.The SOG has acted as a vanguard group within Victoria police, anticipating and leading progress towards a range of new military-style tactics and weapons. The SOG, although relatively small in number,, has had a marked influence on the tactics and operations of police throughout the force. The group was never contained to dealing with only terrorist incidents but instead used for a range of more traditional police duties. While terrorism has remained rare in Australia the SOG has nevertheless expanded in size and role. Because the SOG is considered elite and because the SOG are frequently temporarily seconded to other areas of policing, SOG members provide a role for other police and have the opportunity to introduce parliamentary tactics into an extended range of police duties. The parliamentary skills developed by the SOG have been passes on to ordinary police through training programs headed by former SOG officers. In addition, the group has effectively been used as a testing ground for new weapons. The structure of the Victoria Police Protective Security Group and the way public demonstrations and industrial disputes are viewed in police and security circles ensure that parliamentary counter terrorist tactics will be used to stifle dissent and protest. The move towards paramilitary policing is necessarily a move away from the police mandate to protect life, keep the peace and use only minimum force.
The interrogation of SOG and SOG tactics into everyday policing has occurred without any public debate or recognition of the important democratic traditions that have ensured that military force is not used against citizens except in the most extreme circumstances. Although the SOG is not formally part of the military it is nevertheless a significant parliamentary force virtually indistinguishable in terms of the weapons and levels of force at its disposal from the military proper.

During the reign of the British Queen Victoria, it’s a very important period. It is well-developed in arts and cultures. There are not only lots of significant policies, in Britain domestically, but diplomatically, the UK government has gained numerous colonies and many interests from wars. We can realize that the UK is constitutional monarchy, the prime minister has the absolute power, while the power of the king or queen is limited. As a result, prime ministers play very important role in this period, they decide the foreign policy of UK. There are three typical prime ministers, John Palmerston, Benjamin Disraeli, and William Gladstone. This thesis analyzes the life background of the three prime ministers. When they face different foreign affairs in the future, what foreign policy will they adopt? What are the most remarkable behaviors in their politic career? And we can know that how these three prime ministers insist on their policies, and bring huge interests for UK. The thesis about the foreign effort during the period of Queen Victory mainly discuss on Opium War, Crimean War, and Boer Wars. We can see what foreign policy UK use in three wars. In addition to the debates in the UK parliament, we can realize in which angles did these three ministers used the most advantageous policies for UK. After the Napoleon war, the Foreign Minister of Austrian Empire, Klemens von Metternich holds Congress of Vienna. This is a very meaningful congress for Europe at that time. It changes the original system of Europe, and it forms the congress system. Also, the concept of “balance of power” is very important. In this time, UK not only uses the balance of power in Europe, but takes advantages of their geography positions. UK chooses the most advantageous way to put their foreign policies into practice, and uses the Isolationism very well. Besides, due to the industrial revolution in 19 century in Europe, the mercantilism is prevailed, and the large market demand of original materials, the imperialism reaches its climax. UK not only use imperialism, but use the policy of isolation and “balance of power”, as a result, they gain as many colonies and interests as they can from every wars, and they become the British Empire, on which the sun never set.

Full textAbstract:
The location and development of cities and industries are
closely related to the availability of raw materials and other
inputs of production, and to the presence of people. Where there is
movement of people, and production and transport of goods and
materials, there are petroleum products consumed.
The demand for petroleum transport is a derived demand, since
movement of petroleum products results from decisions made in other
sections of the economy concerning production, consumption and sales
of goods and services. These decisions may have little to do with
petroleum transport, but lead to the demand for petroleum and hence
for petroleum transport.
Petroleum products and petroleum transport are related because
anything that affects the demand for petroleum products also affects
the demand for petroleum transport. However, the demand for
petroleum transport may be affected without affecting the demand for the petroleum products themselves, since technological, regulatory
and other charges may affect the way in which the distribution task
is carried out. Because of the nature or demand of petroleum
transport, carriers must be sensitive to conditions that prevail in
the markets for petroleum products to accurately forecast their
demand picture and to plan their marketing strategies.

This thesis is a study of the responses of supply to the surges in the demand for
imports which occurred in Victoria during the gold rushes of the 1850s. The growth of
gold-mining income and the growth of population raised the demand for imports, and
the organization of a supply response to this was an important element in the reaction of
economic activity to the gold rushes. The principal contribution of this thesis is an
increase in the understanding of the institutional and economic processes involved in the
adjustment of the supply of imports to the surges in demand. In addition, the thesis
enlarges the understanding of the commercial sector more generally, of the role of
government, and of the nature and influence of transaction costs in the economy. At each
stage in the writing of this thesis, the analysis has been hampered by a lack of detailed
and systematic data, and an important contribution consists of the estimation and
compilation of numerous new data series.
The central argument of the thesis is that, while the demand for imports increased
enormously under the impact of the gold discoveries, the supply response, under the
influence of various endogenous and exogenous factors, involved a complicated process
of adjustments and institutional adaptations. To develop this argument, it has been
necessary to document the changes in demand and supply, to examine the composition
of importers and methods of imports disposal, and to analyse the influence of these on
the supply responses. It has also been necessary to make a preliminary analysis of the
penetration of imports into the interior, using price differentials between the coast and
the interior as an initial indicator of the extent to which markets in the interior were
integrated with those on the coast. Further, the thesis considers the extent to which the
supply of imports matched the demand, the connection and distinction between the
import situation and the situation in relation to commerce and the economy in general,
and the interplay of the various factors affecting the adjustment of supply to demand in
each of the two major fluctuations in imports during the 1850s.
This study examines three aspects of the supply response in turn: the demand for
imports and the flow of imported goods into the colony as a whole in the 1850s; the processes involved in the movement of imports from their entry to their initial sale and
their distribution to the interior; and the process of the adjustment of supply of imports to
demand through two major fluctuations. These three aspects are developed around the
central argument in three parts of the thesis that consists of 8 chapters. A basic demandsupply
model is used as the basic theoretical framework of the thesis.
Three contributions have been made to the study of the economic history of the
1850s in Victoria. First, the process by which the supply of imports adjusted to the
demand has been analysed in detail through an examination of the two fluctuations of
imports, through an estimation of the value of imports per head, of prices and of the
incomes of the working population, and through a discussion of the influence of
endogenous and exogenous factors on the supply responses. Second, knowledge of a
number of questions has been considerably deepened: who the importers were and what
was the role of auctioneering. The ways in which transaction costs (tariff rates, the pace
of information transfer, and transport costs) affected the adjustment are made clear. The
efforts made by the government to improve land communications and the results of these
efforts have also been investigated. Third, detailed data-sets relating to a large number of
aspects of the economy of Victoria in the 1850s have been compiled and these will
constitute a useful database for other historians.
