Scholarships to increase number of women in MBA

The Macquarie Graduate School of Management (MGSM) is aiming to be the first top-50 business school in the world to achieve gender balance in the classroom with its Women in MBA scholarship and mentoring program.

$4 million of University funding will be combined with $4 million from employers to provide full or partial scholarships to 100 women enrolling in MGSM’s premier MBA degree.

Recognising that female students often have to balance work and family commitments with study, the program will also provide mentoring, career planning and employer support. Mentors include the former Premier of New South Wales, Kristina Keneally.

MGSM offers a range of scholarships for international students.

Google gets behind Macquarie’s robotics program

Google Australia announced $1 million in cash grants aimed at introducing and inspiring 10,000 students to careers in science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM).

A large portion of this funding will go to FIRST® Robotics Australia, established at Macquarie University in 2010. It will help the organisation introduce its program into 150 new schools.

Google Australia said: “Australia’s jobs of the future will require new skills, and it’s critical that students from all walks of life are introduced to this field and have the opportunity to shape it and benefit from it. We hope that these organisations will create more moments that will inspire our kids.”

Students launch their Sydney adventure

In late July, Macquarie warmly welcomed a new group of bright minds to the campus community – Session 2, 2015 commencing international students. The welcome began as soon as they stepped off the plane, with students enjoying a personal airport greeting and free transport to their accommodation. 

It was an exciting and busy orientation week for the students, with information sessions, social activities and plenty of opportunities to explore the delights of their new home city.

Media Reporting 6th MERS Case In Jordanian Cluster

 

# 10,472

 

Since the Jordanian Ministry of Health website isn’t posting updates we have to rely upon local media for updates on Jordan’s recent MERS outbreak.  Earlier today I posted on the 5th case in less than a week, and this afternoon we have word on a 6th case.

The first two cases were described as having had recent travel outside of the country (1 to Saudi Arabia, the other not specified) while the latest four all appear to be locally acquired.

 

This report from the Qatar News Agency.

 

Recording 18 HIV infection "Corona" in Jordan

Monday, August 31, 2015

Amman, August 31 / Qena / announced the Jordanian Ministry of Health on the registration of new infection "Corona" to Jordanian woman swallow the age of 74 years, bringing the total number of infections to 18 injured.

Quoted Jordan News Agency, director of communicable diseases at the ministry, Dr. Mohammed Abdullat saying that " infected suffer several diseases such as diabetes, pressure, congestive heart failure and atrial fibrillation.

"He added that the situation is critical for the infected and is in a state of isolation in the hospital who receive the treatment, noting that it was epidemiological investigation of the situation and follow-up contacts from her family and health staff dealing with the situation

 

The pattern we’ve seen many times before – of a patient with MERS admitted to a hospital and the virus spreads to other patients (or employees) - appears to be repeating again in Jordan.

  

While we’ve seen some hospitals successfully cope with a MERS admission without incurring additional cases, a study we looked at in early July  called  Eurosurveillance: Estimating The Odds Of Secondary/Tertiary Cases From An Imported MERS Case) calculated the odds of seeing at least one secondary case derived from an imported case is 22.7% , while the odds of seeing at least one tertiary case is 10.5%.

 

Based on their calculations, the odds of seeing at least 8 cases as the result of a single importation was estimated at non-trivial 10.9%.

A reminder of the importance of continued vigilance at all hospitals for walk-ins of MERS (and other infectious diseases), and of how even a small breach in infection control standards can lead to serious risks to both patients and staff.

For more on preparing hospitals to receive, and safely deal with MERS, Ebola, Avian Flu, and other high-risk patients you may wish to revisit:
