Program to help young Tumut people
06 Sep 2011
An educational program designed to help local communities deal with confronting issues for young people will be discussed at a Charles Sturt University (CSU) public lecture in Tumut on Wednesday 14 September. The ‘Putting Youth in the Picture’ program was developed in regional Queensland and uses a series of authentic, confronting movie scenes to show how young people can make poor decisions that will alter their lives. CSU has been granted the first NSW licence to roll out the program to all local government areas across its regions. Manager of Residential Operations at CSU in Albury-Wodonga and Wagga Wagga, Mr Peter Bell, said issues presented include sexual assault, binge and underage drinking, and alcohol-fuelled violence. “This program is about empowering local communities through their local councils, schools or sporting groups to use the program’s resources to hopefully prevent their young people from getting into difficulties,” Mr Bell said.
Media Note: The ‘Putting Youth in the Picture’ public lecture will be held on Wednesday 14 September at the Montreal Community Theatre, Russell Street, Tumut. The lecture is hosted by CSU and Tumut Shire Council. Read more about the ‘Putting Youth in the Picture’ program on CSU News here.

31 Aug 2011
One of the top five researchers at Charles Sturt University (CSU), Professor Frank Marino, will be honoured with the Vice-Chancellor’s Award for Research Excellence (Individual Award) for his exceptional body of work at a ceremony in Bathurst on Monday 5 September. Professor Frank Marino’s publications, as ranked by the ISI Web of Science, place him in CSU’s top five, and his work has been cited over 900 times in high impact journals (average IF=2.8). This achievement is amplified by the fact that Professor Marino has an added administrative load as Head of the School of Human Movement Studies, with a full teaching load between 2003 and 2009, and a 60 per cent teaching load in 2010. He is presently Associate Dean of Research at the Faculty of Education. Professor Marino’s seminal work, which challenges the classical theory and popular belief that the heart is the regulating mechanism limiting exercise, is perhaps the most significant contribution to his award. His contributions to the area of exercise and human fatigue have caused some controversy with scholars in the field, which reflects the significance of this novel understanding of physiology. This understanding of physiology is making its way into university curriculum.
Media Note: Contact CSU Media to arrange interviews with Professor Frank Marino.
Professor Marino has also submitted three Australian Research Council discovery project applications and one National Health and Medical Research Council application during this time, and he continually receives invitations to present and publish his research internationally.

The development of a way to teach distance education medical science students how to study normal and diseased human tissue with a virtual microscope has landed a teaching award for a Charles Sturt University (CSU) academic. Dr Lucy Webster, from the School of Biomedical Sciences at CSU in Wagga Wagga, has been awarded the 2011 Vice-Chancellor’s Award for Teaching Excellence. “The most important teaching strategies I employ to inspire and motivate students to learn include creation of interactive and engaging resources and demonstrating a true passion and expert knowledge in my field,” said Dr Webster. “Virtual microscopy enables the digital reproduction of glass slides containing healthy and diseased human tissues. Students are able to view and manipulate these images at remote locations. I combined this technology with the University’s real-time virtual classroom known as Wimba to allow genuine interaction between myself and the students to discuss the important features on each slide without having to be in the same room. Before this initiative, internal and distance education students could only view slides during practical classes or residential schools.”

23 Aug 2011
Links between sedentary and unhealthy lifestyles, some forms of diseases such as diabetes and obesity, and whether your neighbour should pay part of your health care will challenge the audience of a public lecture at Charles Sturt University (CSU) in Bathurst on Wednesday 31 August. Recently appointed Professor of Exercise Science and acting Head of CSU’s School of Human Movement Studies in Bathurst, Professor Robert Robergs, will deliver his first major lecture as part of the annual CSU Education Faculty forum. Professor Robergs’s lecture, titled The exercise and disease prevention dilemma: what we know but choose to ignore, will explore past studies of the causes of sedentary lifestyle diseases and the importance of physical activity and fitness in disease prevention. “We know that being physically fit, regardless of age, is essential for helping prevent disease,” Professor Robergs said. “There are barriers to developing an active lifestyle, and behaviour change is not just about medical and physiological knowledge. Central to this challenge is the responsibility of a citizen in a liberal social democracy. Does being sedentary increase risk and health care costs, like not wearing a seat belt when driving a car? If so, should we tax the sedentary? Why is it against the law to serve someone too much alcohol, but not too much food?”
Media Note: Contact CSU Media to arrange interviews with Dr Robert Robergs. The public lecture is at 4pm to 5pm on Wednesday 31 August at the main lecture theatre (building S15) at CSU in Bathurst.
Professor Robergs has published more than 110 research articles in academic journals, and has co-edited and co-authored various exercise physiology texts. His research interests include altitude physiology, cardiovascular physiology, muscle metabolism, metabolic acidosis, and data acquisition and programming using LabVIEW software. He has two patents (glycerol hydration, and improvements to indirect calorimetry). He is currently working on several manuscripts related to exercise physiology performance and fatigue, and is writing grants for research projects to improve understanding of the biochemistry of exercise-induced metabolic acidosis, and to improve the application of exercise training in the prevention of sedentary lifestyle behaviours and chronic disease.
