Personal and family backgrounds of first-year veterinary science students at The University of Queensland

Objective To provide information on changes in the social and educational backgrounds of veterinary students over a 10 year period in an effort to determine the extent to which they are representative of the community.
Methods Questionnaires were completed by first-year veterinary students at The University of Queensland in 1985 and 1986 (152 students), and 1995 and 1996 (154), and the data were analysed using the SAS System for Windows.
Results The gender ratio of first-year veterinary students was 50:50 (male:female) in 1985 and 1986 but 10 years later it had changed to 38:62. In 1985 and 1986 77% had come directly from school, with 43% of the total coming from government schools, 17% from Catholic schools and 34% from other private (Independent) schools. A decade later the percentage coming directly from school had decreased to 40%, that from Independent schools increased to 45% and that from cities increased from 53% to 64%. The educational backgrounds of parents varied widely though a high percentage had university degrees; mothers had received less formal education than fathers, and the educational attainments of both parents were higher at the beginning than at the end of the study. More than half (57% initially; 67% 10 years later) the fathers were in professional or managerial occupations, and a similar number (50% initially; 48% 10 years later) of mothers were teachers, nurses or clerks. The number of males from country areas decreased from 26 to 16 over this period.
Conclusion These veterinary students differed from the community generally in that progressively more were female, more were from Independent schools, their parents had more formal education and more of their parents were in professional, managerial or clerical occupations.

灰木莲容器苗培育基质筛选试验

以松皮粉、黄心土、森林表土、火烧土、泥炭5种基质设置6种配比处理开展灰木莲容器苗培育试验，选用苗高、地径、苗木质量指数、容器基质重量等指标进行苗木质量评定，并依据造林效果进行检验。结果表明：不同处理间的苗高、地径和容器基质重量均达到极显著差异，苗木质量指数亦差异显著；处理3（黄心土50％＋松皮粉25％＋表土25％）的苗木质量和造林效果最好，其次是处理5（黄心土60％＋松皮粉25％＋火烧土15％）和处理4（黄心土50％＋松皮粉50％），处理2（黄心土75％＋泥炭25％）最差；建议生产上添加25％．50％的松皮粉作为灰木莲容器育苗基质。
