Support need for vocational learners transitioning into postgraduate education
BACKGROUND: The transition from vocational training to postgraduate education can be challenging. This study explored the support needs of vocational paramedics transitioning to a postgraduate diploma programme, aiming to identify barriers and enablers they encountered during their year of study. METHODS: This study involved semi-structured interviews with a cohort of vocational paramedics enrolled in a one-year postgraduate diploma programme at …
He Tikanga Rangahau, He Tino Rangatiratanga
This commentary proposes that the decision to hold findings from te ao Māori and biomedicine in productive tension—rather than resolving them into a single integrated account—is not a methodological preference but a constitutional obligation grounded in the te reo text of Te Tiriti o Waitangi. Drawing on the ontological turn in research methodology and on recent Waitangi Tribunal findings, the commentary argues that the two texts of the Treaty/Ti…
Cancer journeys and health practitioners as gatekeepers, brokers, and boundary enforcers
Cancer survival is increasingly prevalent, and the longevity of survivors enable them to provide insights into the experiences of living with cancer. The objective of this article is to consider the roles that health practitioners play that can facilitate or provide hindrances to investigations and cancer treatment following a diagnosis of cancer. From 2020 to 2022, 81 interviews were conducted with Māori and non-Māori throughout Aotearoa New Zea…
Effectiveness of coordination in humanitarian water, sanitation, and hygiene (Wash) response
We found that incorporating the ToC into the Minimum Requirements successfully supported humanitarian WASH responses. Additionally, while staffing levels are necessary to achieve response outputs and outcomes, they are not sufficient. Other factors, such as poor funding, inadequate monitoring and evaluation, and a need for localization, also impacted response outputs and outcomes. In a time of reduced humanitarian funding, investment in Global WA…
Accessing diagnosis and treatment
Long term cancer survival is increasingly prevalent, and the consequences are of sociological and clinical interest. In this paper we deploy the concept of wrangling to emphasise the everyday tussle of survivorship and processes of navigating pathways through what can be an unwelcoming environment. From 2020 to 2022 81 interviews were conducted with people, Māori and non-Māori, throughout Aotearoa New Zealand identified as exceptional cancer surv…
Disruption, discontinuity and a licence to live
Although a diagnosis of a life-limiting cancer is likely to evoke emotions, such as fear, panic and anxiety, for some people it can also provide an opportunity to live life differently. This article is based on research undertaken in Aotearoa New Zealand on the topic of exceptional cancer trajectories. Eighty-one participants who had been identified as living with a cancer diagnosis longer than clinically expected were interviewed, along with 25 …
Social Interactions and Relationships
Anatolia has developed as a favorite geography where people have lived with values reflecting the diversity of the housing culture for many years.Konya has a civil and architectural understanding that has come from the past to the present with its characteristics such as being located in the middle of Anatolia, being on trade routes, and harboring a deep-rooted settlement culture.The housing practices of this deep-rooted history are the subject o…
Growing up Healthy in Families Across the Globe
The Growing Up Healthy in Families Across the Globe project is an international collaboration examining the potential for harmonised analysis using five longitudinal studies (from New Zealand, Ireland and Scotland). All five studies follow the lives of children, are interested in the dynamics of family change and work to inform policy to potentially improve population well-being across the life-course. Comparative analysis from harmonised longitu…

The Evolution of HIV illness representation among marginally housed persons
Many HIV-infected marginally housed individuals have difficulty engaging in health care. To investigate HIV health-related behaviour, 14 in-depth interviews with marginally housed HIV-infected individuals were conducted and analysed utilizing standard qualitative methodologies. The analysis was based on the Illness Representation Model, which describes five conceptual dimensions of illness: identification; cause; timeline; management; and consequ…

Play Through the Eyes of Children
This paper reports on the use of cameras by children to record how they used their play environments during after-school play in an Australian provincial city. The study was one of six carried out concurrently to illuminate the complexity of children's after-school leisure and the environment in which it takes place. Twenty four children, twelve boys and twelve girls, were issued with disposable cameras to photograph their play in after-school ti…
Child Friendly Neighborhoods? A Critique of the Australian Suburb as an Environment for Growing up
This study is a critical exploration of the Australian suburb and its efficacy in providing for the play space needs of children. Experiences of Australians who grew up in suburbs and country towns between 1930 and 1960 are related to findings from formal research on the environmental needs of children. Modification of the physical form of Australian suburbs since the Second World War, brought about by technical and social change, has led to eros…
