Australian allied health professionals' perspectives on current practice, benefits, challenges, and opportunities in nature-based approaches
Increasing awareness of and evidence about NBAs among AHPs across sectors - particularly those involving policy, education, funding, and health management - will support their legitimacy and potential benefit of NBAs across a range of populations

Responsible environmental education in the Anthropocene
Children and young people today are growing up in an increasingly urban, technical, virtual and ecologically precarious world, leaving many feel disconnected from nature yet anxious about its degradation at the same time. Two distinct bodies of knowledge – namely youth human-nature relationships and youth eco-anxiety – are concerned with the former and the latter respectively. Through a narrative literature review, we bring these fields together …
Reimagining Extinction in Australia and Japan
This is a comparative, cross-cultural, and multi-disciplinary study of two extinct animals, the Tasmanian tiger in Australia and the Hokkaido wolf in Japan, and their ongoing cultural 'presence'. The thylacine was last documented in captivity in 1936, and the Hokkaido wolf became extinct around 1900. Both faced rapid extinction due to anthropogenic factors associated with colonisation and modernisation, including eradication policies. Nonetheless…

Indigenous Use of Lerps in Australia
We evaluate the cultural, ecological, and horticultural potential for a distinctively Australian sweet food to provide a means of Indigenous cultural revitalization. Among the world's Indigenous peoples, the Australian Aboriginal use of the sweet exudations (lerps and scales) of plant sap-sucking insects (Hemiptera) is exceptional in many respects. This food not only provides a sweet treat and a source of energy but can be stored as dry balls for…
Are adult amateur musicians at ‘high risk’ of experiencing musculoskeletal symptoms
Musculoskeletal symptoms (MSSs) are a common problem for musicians, but the MSS burden of amateur musicians specifically is under-investigated. For the first time we sought to compare the MSS prevalence and profile (e.g. MSS location, impact) of adult amateur musicians with those of non-musicians. Amateur and non-musicians were asked to complete a questionnaire that collected data on their demographics, musical activities and MSS outcomes. A tota…
Spatial and Temporal Variability in Trihalomethane Concentrations in the Bromine-Rich Public Waters of Perth, Australia
High concentrations of trihalomethanes (THMs) in public water supplies potentially pose a health hazard, but exposure assessment remains a complex task. To interpret research findings and monitoring data for THMs, it is important to evaluate spatial and temporal variations in both total THM and the individual constituent compounds (including brominated species). We therefore aimed to determine the concentrations, and spatial and temporal variabil…
The Role of Ecological Linkage Mechanisms in Plasmodium knowlesi Transmission and Spread
The Nature of Reality
Immersive virtual environments (IVEs) were used to test the effects of biodiversity on recovery from induced stress. Three natural environments and one urban environment were used to represent ordinal levels of biodiversity (none, low, moderate, and high). The four IVEs comprised visual, auditory, and olfactory stimuli. An additional high biodiversity IVE without auditory or olfactory stimuli was also included to study the effects of multisensory…
Ancient Egyptians’ Atypical Relationship with Invertebrates
Despite the ubiquitous presence and vital role of invertebrates in all known ecological systems, insects and arachnids are largely viewed as repugnant by people. Consequently, until nature intervenes in the form of infestations, swarms or plagues, we largely prefer to ignore them, lest our attention invite unwelcome interaction. In contrast, the people of ancient Egypt did not distance themselves from invertebrates but instead celebrated their my…
China's capacity of hospitals to deal with infectious diseases in the context of climate change
Infectious Diseases, Urbanization and Climate Change
China is one of the largest countries in the world with nearly 20% of the world's population. There have been significant improvements in economy, education and technology over the last three decades. Due to substantial investments from all levels of government, the public health system in China has been improved since the 2003 severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) outbreak. However, infectious diseases still remain a major population health i…

A relationship between environmental degradation and mental health in rural Western Australia
The failure of colonial ‘distancing’
In 2005–06, the Indian Ocean island of Réunion, an overseas department of France, experienced a massive epidemic of the mosquito‐borne viral infection chikungunya. Public health authorities in metropolitan France were arguably slow to react, and we explore their representations and management of the epidemic in the context of tropicality and colonial discourse. We analyse official reports on the epidemic from the bulletins of the Institut de Veil…

Liking for persons as a function of incentive and drive during acquisition
Describes 2 studies which test hypotheses derived from stimulus-response reinforcement theory propositions. In Study I, 60 1st-graders played a game in which photographs of strangers were associated with desirable or undesirable food snacks either before or after lunch. Evidence supported a positive relation between reward quality and the acquired attractiveness of contiguous stimulus persons under conditions of contrast in reward quality but not…

Dental examinations for quality control
This paper reports the dental care norms for restorative dentistry collected from examinations of 1,466 patients in 105 dental offices in Washington State during 1976. These results are part of a larger study, "Assessment of Care and Continuing Dental Education," being conducted by the University of Washington with the endorsement and cooperation of the Washington State Dental Association. Treatments in volunteer offices were evaluated either by …
Dentists’perceptions of Their Patients
This study investigates dentists' perceptions of their patients and the relation of these perceptions to measures of actual quality of restorative treatment. The results indicate that 1) though the dentists see their patients as "cooperative," they perceived a substantial number of "problems," i.e., willingness to pay for optimal care or follow professional recommendations; and 2) there are significant associations between dentists' perceptions o…
The Effects of Patient‐Initiated Phone Confirmation Strategies on Appointment Keeping at a Hospital Dental Clinic
This research reports the effectiveness of three interventions utilized to reduce broken appointments at a hospital dental clinic. Subjects in this study were 306 outpatients receiving dental care at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. Prior to this investigation the clinic was not using any confirmation strategy; the no show rate was 30.2 percent (N=169). The first intervention was the traditional clinic-initiated phone reminder one day prior …
Determinants of the Quality of Restorative Dental Care
This article reports the results of an analysis to determine the relationships between the quality of restorative dental care for 1,466 patients and 9 categories of dentist characteristics for 102 volunteer Washington practitioners. In this study, patients were recalled and restorations were examined clinically. Questionnaires were administered to patients and dentists. The dependent measure is a weighted average of scores for operative dentistry…
Oral Hygiene Instruction and Health Risk Assessment in Dental Practice
We studied oral hygiene instruction given to 109 patients in 19 Washington State dental practices to investigate the extent to which therapists targeted their efforts toward patients with high disease risk. Patients were examined prior to instruction and prophylaxes. Therapists' instructions were tape‐recorded and their content analyzed: therapists' expectations were scored. There were no statistically significant associations between patients' i…
How Effective is Oral Hygiene Instruction? Results after 6 and 24 Weeks
We studied the clinical effectiveness of oral hygiene instruction given to 71 "high" plaque patients in 19 Washington State dental practices to determine the extent of plaque reduction. Patients were examined prior to instruction and prophylaxis. Therapist instructions were tape-recorded and content analyzed, and therapists' expectations were scored. Patients were surveyed as to oral health behaviors and general health habit characteristics. Only…

An Explanatory Model of the Dental Care Utilization of Low-Income Children
OBJECTIVES: Factors related to the utilization of dental care by 5- to 11-year-old children from low-income households were investigated using a comprehensive multivariate model that assessed the contribution of structure, history, cognition, and expectations. The influence of dentist-patient interactions, psychosocial and health beliefs, particularly fear of the dentist, on utilization were investigated. METHODS: Children were chosen randomly fr…
