Freeing transdisciplinarity from the project straightjacket
Confronting systemic problems in ecological and socio-technical systems requires transcending traditional reductionist approaches and disciplinary silos. Transdisciplinarity (TD) is frequently proposed and embraced as a way of organizing science so that it is better suited to approach wicked problems, and science funders are increasingly interested in investing in large scale integrated initiatives. Achieving effective coordination and cooperatio…
From Promise to Practice
There is an increasing emphasis on transdisciplinary research to address the complex challenges faced by health systems. However, research has not adequately explored how members of transdisciplinary research teams perceive, understand, and promote transdisciplinary collaboration. As such, there is a need to investigate collaborative behaviors, knowledge, and the impacts of transdisciplinary research. To address this gap, we conducted a longitudi…
Telehealth as a Care Solution for Homebound People
Homebound individuals residing in community settings with severe health conditions and disabilities could arguably benefit from telehealth interventions. However, the effectiveness of telehealth compared to in‐person care remains underexplored, considering the diversity of these groups. This systematic review and meta‐analysis aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of telehealth in reducing healthcare utilization and improving health‐related quality…
My Wellbeing Journal
BACKGROUND: Chronic conditions and multimorbidity, the presence of two or more chronic conditions, are increasingly common in older adults. Effective management of chronic conditions and multimorbidity in older adults requires a collaborative and person-centred approach that considers the individual's goals, preferences and priorities. However, ensuring high-quality personalised care for older adults with multimorbidity can be challenging due to …
Wicked problems in a post-truth political economy
The discipline of knowledge translation (KT) emerged as a way of systematically understanding and addressing the challenges of applying health and medical research in practice. In light of ongoing and emerging critique of KT from the medical humanities and social sciences disciplines, KT researchers have become increasingly aware of the complexity of the translational process, particularly the significance of culture, tradition and values in how …
Health System Enablers and Barriers to Continuity of Care for First Nations Peoples Living with Chronic Disease
Health and social care should be harmonised with First Nations Peoples' cultural beliefs and family influences. Sustainable strategies require a co-design commitment for well-funded flexible care plans considering coaching and peer support across the lifespan
You Are By No Means Alone
Online peer-to-peer communities provide environments in which people with similar health concerns can interact and exchange information that can support self-care of long-term conditions. However, current theories have not adequately accounted for how self-care support is enacted in online communities. We conducted an observational netnography to identify and analyze posts in a publicly accessible online community (discussion forum boards) design…
Co-Designing Evidence-Based Videos in Health Care
Objective: Well-designed evidence-based resources that reflect participant experiences and priorities are imperative for informed consumer health decision-making and to combat the pervasive health misinformation existing today. Qualitative research data can inform the development of such resources, but the process of reconciling qualitative research data with other sources of evidence through co-design processes is not well described in the liter…
Making Mockery
Reviewed by: Making Mockery: The Poetics of Ancient Satire Maria Plaza Ralph M. Rosen. Making Mockery: The Poetics of Ancient Satire. Classical Culture and Society. New York: Oxford University Press, 2007. Pp. xv, 294. $55.00. ISBN 978-0-19-530996-6. Rosen boldly claims that here we will see, for the first time, a sustained attempt to conceptualize all mocking ancient poets as participants in the same literary paradigm, transcending "the boundari…
Epilogue
In Juvenal's fifteenth satire satiric humour reaches its limits. The kernel of J. 15 is a narrative about how two feuding Egyptian villages engage in a fierce battle which ends with one tribe catching a man from the other village, and eating him in their fury. Before coming to its end, Juvenalian humour flashes a final burst of grotesque funniness, a rush of what modern jargon would call ‘sick humour’, in the detailed description of a man torn to…
Object-Oriented Humour
This chapter on object-oriented humour argues that a favourite device of Roman satire is to use the structure of ‘mockery from below’ for various attacks. It analyses how metaphors ‘heightening’ the target or ‘lowering’ the speaker are employed by Horace and Juvenal when the target is not actually someone or something in a high position; for Persius, this is achieved by metaphorical ‘swelling’/‘piercing’. In effect, the satiric persona often chea…
