“Ethics Seems Like an Afterthought”
Barriers and enablers in implementing strategies to maintain clinical competence of midwife educators
BACKGROUND: Well-educated and prepared midwife educators are crucial in the provision of high-quality midwifery education, ensuring that midwifery students are equipped with the essential competencies to improve maternal and neonatal health outcomes. The International Confederation of Midwives (ICM) Global Standards for Midwifery Education set out an expectation for midwife educators to remain clinically competent. However, little is known about …
Pilot evaluation of an innovative school-based mental health literacy program for teachers and students
Mental health literacy interventions in school settings are growing in number and scope, yet challenges in user engagement and real-world implementation persist. The Decode Mental Health and Wellbeing Program (Decode) is a novel and innovative mental health literacy program for teachers and students that harnesses the power of social media platform-style content delivery and lived experience influencers to engage young people. Using a multi-site,…
Improving quality of maternal and newborn care
This study evaluates the effectiveness and sustainability of UNFPA-supported Emergency Obstetric and Newborn Care (EmONC) in-service training programs in Bhutan and Lao PDR, aiming to improve maternal and neonatal health services by enhancing health providers’ competencies in performing Basic EmONC signal functions. This study employed qualitative interviews with key informants and healthcare providers to identify enablers and barriers to the tra…
An innovative, digital approach to training district health care providers on essential newborn care skills
Background: In Lao People's Democratic Republic, the skills of newborn care providers at district hospitals degrades soon after training due to lack of regular supervision and/or refresher training. This pilot trial evaluated the potential effectiveness and acceptability of the novel intervention to maintain providers' early essential newborn care (EENC) knowledge and skills. Methods: This was a parallel, cluster-randomised pilot trial with embed…

Managed Care in Mental Health Care
From intermediaries to transformative partnerships
This practice note explores the role of intermediaries in philanthropic aid flows through the experience of a collaborative partnership between two organisations: a US-based international funding intermediary and a Philippines-based regional hub that supports communities to build on their existing assets, strengths and capacities. The case study presented offers reflections from the authors on how the partnership evolved in ways that shared power…
Involvement of children and young people in the conduct of health research
Exhibition Reviews
In 2022, the MacKenzie Art Gallery in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada, organized and launched the ground-breaking exhibition Radical Stitch , North America's largest ever beadwork exhibition to feature contemporary First Nations, Métis, Inuit, and Native American artists. The exhibition, which has been awarded the 2024 Canadian Museums Association/Association des Musées Canadiens Award of Outstanding Achievement, is curated by an esteemed Indigenous…
Older adults' acceptability of and preferences for food-based protein fortification in the UK, France and Norway
Research suggests that as we age, protein intake, recognised as vital for combating negative health outcomes, consistently falls below recommendations in older adults. Decreased food intake, combined with age-related eating complications is a major determinant of this protein undernutrition. If nutritional interventions are to be effective and sustainable, they must enable eating pleasure, cater for personal preferences and be adaptable to differ…
Risk it for a biscuit
Foodborne disease presents a significant public health issue, costing the UK economy £9 billion annually, with many incidences being due to food-related behaviours in the home. Adults aged 60 and over account for around a quarter of the population in England and Wales and are at a greater risk of foodborne disease and may suffer a much higher burden. Research into risky food behaviours has previously focused on larger cohorts and typically treats…
Defending Primary Victims Who Face Criminal Charges for the Use of Defensive Force against Their Abusive Partners
Australian lawyers, scholars and policy makers have grappled for decades with the barriers faced by victim-survivors in successfully raising self-defence in response to criminal charges for the use of force against their abusive partners. In this article we discuss a recent legal innovation developed to address similar barriers in the New Zealand context. The defence in R v Ruddelle was ground-breaking in Australasia in that expert evidence on ‘i…
Work/labour
Most of our lives are spent working, as we frequently engage in purposeful activity to build and maintain our physical and social worlds. The anthropology of work and labour provides a comparative perspective on how people make a living within their natural and social environments, while bringing into focus how people everywhere are interconnected and impacted through global historical processes. Its history and theoretical purchase have been sha…
An evaluation of the introduction of telehealth for remote antenatal and postnatal contacts in Bangladesh and Lao People’s Democratic Republic during the Covid-19 pandemic
From 2020, COVID-19 spread rapidly around the globe and continues to have a major impact on health system functioning, with a disproportionate impact on low- and middle-income countries (LMIC). Reduced service utilisation and coverage of essential childbirth interventions is likely impacting maternal and newborn morbidity and mortality. Telehealth has been identified as an important tool in the continued provision of essential healthcare services…
Understanding Intimate Partner Violence
How intimate partner violence (IPV) is conceptualized affects what we see when we look at situations involving IPV and what we think the solutions to the problem of IPV are-either in individual cases or in the development of broader legal and policy responses. In this article, it is suggested that while conceptualizing IPV as coercive control is an improvement over previous understandings, it does not go far enough. Coercive control must be locat…
Sexting Among Australian Adolescents
Although consensual sending of sexts between adolescents is considered developmentally appropriate, it may also entail a range of negative consequences. Current sexting research lacks a comprehensive theoretical framework identifying a range of risk and protective factors underpinning adolescent consensual sending of sexts across individual, interpersonal, and distal levels. Further, there is a lack of systematic evaluation of how the importance …
Young Adult Development Indicators for Indigenous and Non-Indigenous People
Worldwide, Indigenous youth face ongoing challenges and inequalities. Increasing our understanding of life course patterns in Indigenous youth will assist the design of strategies and interventions that encourage positive development. This study aimed to increase understanding of resilience and positive development in Indigenous and non-Indigenous youth across Australia and the United States of America. The Australian sample comprised 9680 non-In…

Sensing the presence of gods and spirits across cultures and faiths
Significance The sensory presence of gods and spirits is central to many of the religions that have shaped human history—in fact, many people of faith report having experienced such events. But these experiences are poorly understood by social scientists and rarely studied empirically. We present a multiple-discipline, multiple-methods program of research involving thousands of people from diverse cultures and religions which demonstrates that tw…
Declarations of ‘Self‐Reliance’
This article discusses how dependency's antonym, ‘self‐reliance’ expresses and shapes aspirations for development, and ideas about citizenship in Vanuatu. This ‘keyword’ was popularized in the process of decolonization and nation‐building in Vanuatu, and influenced by Dependency Theory, Pan‐Africanism, Black Internationalism, and trans‐Pacific visions of decolonization and development. But vernacular ideas of ‘self‐reliance’ also articulate diffe…

Kastom, property and ideology
The relationship between customary land tenure and 'modern' forms of landed property has been a major political issue in the 'Spearhead' states of Melanesia since the late colonial period, and is even more pressing today, as the region is subject to its own version of what is described in the international literature as a new 'land rush' or 'land grab' in developing countries
Deconstructing hegemonic masculinity
The aim of this investigation was to examine a theoretically based mechanism by which men's adherence to antifeminine norms is associated with their perpetration of sexual aggression toward intimate partners. Participants were 208 heterosexual men between the ages of 21-35 who had consumed alcohol in the past year. They were recruited from a large southeastern United States city. Participants completed self-report measures of hegemonic masculinit…

Be our guest/worker
Whilst there has been renewed interest in the development potential of temporary migration programmes, such schemes have long been criticized for creating conditions for exploitation and fostering dependence. In this article, which is based on a case study of Ni-Vanuatu seasonal workers employed in New Zealand's horticultural industry, I show how workers and employers alike actively cultivate and maintain relations of reciprocal dependence and of…

Empowered imagination and mental vulnerability
Theory of mind' in developmental psychology focuses on how children develop the ability to infer others' beliefs, desires, and intentions. Anthropologists have taken up the notion of 'theory of mind' to explore the way cultural differences in representations of beliefs, desires, and intentions affect everyday lives. In Oceania, anthropologists have noted that inferences about others' intentions are not accorded a privileged role in social interac…

Similarities and differences in concepts of mental life among adults and children in five cultures
Dialectal phonology constrains the phonetics of prominence
Accentual prominence has well-documented effects on various phonetic properties, including timing, vowel quality, amplitude, and pitch. These cues can exist in trading relationships and can differ in magnitude in different languages. Less is understood about how phonetic cues to accentuation surface under different phonological constraints, such as those posed by segmental phonology, aspects of the prosodic hierarchy, and intonational phonology. …
Reassessing the Effects of Early Adolescent Alcohol Use on Later Antisocial Behavior
The effect of early adolescent alcohol use on antisocial behavior was examined at one- and two-year follow-up in Washington, United States and Victoria, Australia. Each state used the same methods to survey statewide representative samples of students (N = 1,858, 52% female) in 2002 (Grade 7 [G7]), 2003 (Grade 8 [G8]), and 2004 (Grade 9 [G9]). Rates of lifetime, current, frequent, and heavy episodic alcohol use were higher in Victoria than Washin…

Cultivating social relationships and disrupting social isolation in low‐income, high‐disparity neighbourhoods in Ohio, USA
Social isolation undermines health. Inequities in social networks exist due to historical and contemporary practices of socioeconomic and racial segregation. Thus, lower income and minority families are less likely to have the number, strength, and variety of social connections as higher income and white families. Therefore, social isolation may contribute to inequities in health and well-being across socioeconomic and racial groups. Disrupting s…

Advancing Research on the Spread of Stigmatizing Beliefs With Insights From Rumor Transmission
The essay examined a commonly stated but rarely elaborated assumption in stigma theories: Stigma must be socialized to engender community-level marginalization and discrimination. Existing research has focused on intrapersonal processes and structural factors that promote stigma socialization, but much less is known about how interpersonal sharing messages that induce stigmatization (i.e., stigma appeals) contributes to the diffusion and adoption…
The Lex Plotia Agraria and Pompey's Spanish Veterans
The Lex Plotia Agraria is known to us only by name through a single reference in one of Cicero's letters, from which we can extract nothing more than a terminus ante quern and a very general notion of its probable scope. Gabba in a short article, after reviewing the different hypotheses about this law, decided in favour of a suggestion put forward originally by Zumpt, that it belongs probably to the year 70/69 B.C.; and identifying it with a law …
Plutarch's Biographical Sources in the Roman Lives
T he object of this article is to set forth certain evidence that emerges from a study of three of Plutarch's Lives , the Titus , the Paullus , and the Cato Maior , evidence which indicates that these Lives are based upon a definite type of biographical composition, and to suggest its possible origin and date. Since E. Meyer's article on the Cimon of Nepos and Plutarch, biographical sources have generally been assumed for the Greek Lives , and th…

T his article does not attempt, except in a general way, to indicate Plutarch's sources for this Life , since any such attempt, in the absence of much of the relevant literature, is foredoomed to failure. It aims rather at showing the different types of biographical literature which grew up around this figure and which form the basis of Plutarch's Life , and to show what seems the most probable relationship of this Life to the biography of Nepos …
The Greek Letters of M. Junius Brutus
S ince Bentley's attack upon the Greek letters of Euripides and Phalaris, scholarship has been inclined to look with suspicion upon other similar compositions, which have for the most part lain under a cloud of doubt. This attitude of doubt was certainly to be found in the scholarship of last century, though there has been a tendency of late years to attempt to restore certain of these groups of letters to their original position as genuine produ…

The Sources of Plutarch'S Life of Titus Flamininus
A Study of the sources of a Plutarchan Life may be excused on two grounds: first, a knowledge of the sources is important for a critical evaluation of the Life's historical worth; and second, such a study is instructive for the understanding of Plutarch's methods of composition, which, in its turn, helps considerably in the historical evaluation. For this second object the Titus is particularly well suited, since the problem, owing to the surviva…
Lysander and the Spartan Empire
Latins and the Roman Citizenship in Roman Colonies
The meaning and implication of this passage of Livy have been so generally misunderstood, that it is worth translating and explaining it; for its true meaning is important both in itself and, perhaps, for understanding one aspect of Roman colonial policy between 190 and 180 B.C. The passage runs as follows: ‘nouum ius eo anno a Ferentinatibus tentatum, ut Latini qui in coloniam Romanam nomina dedissent ciues Romani essent. Puteoleos Salernumque e…

In November 2009, Principal Thomas Murray banned the word meep from Danvers High School, located outside of Boston (Netter, 2009). Parents and students received automated e-mails and calls with a warning that saying or displaying the word meep would entail suspension. Students had ignored requests from teachers and administrators to stop, leading to the school-wide ban. This story contains entertaining elements: an overzealous principal who forwa…
