Coming in? The Yanyuwa as a case study in the geography of contact history
This article focuses on the history of a group of people who identify as Yanyuwa. It analyses the move the Yanyuwa made from bush to town in terms of the more standard question of why they came in. The chapter shows that it is possible to map how the Yanyuwa came in. Coming in involved a gradual process of longer and longer stays in town with an associated growing attitude that Borroloola was home. A turning point in each person’s life came when …

Coming in? The Yanyuwa as a case study
They took them in there [to Borroloola], bunched them up, got them going and dumped them. (Steve Johnson1.) 1 1987 Tape 30A 26 min. This and all subsequent references to tapes refer to recordings I made which are now lodged with the Australian Institute for Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Studies. In Baker (1989b) I discuss the methods used first to collect this material and secondly to transcribe it so that the location to the nearest minute…
Embedding Research-Based Learning Early in the Undergraduate Geography Curriculum
This article considers the rationale for embedding research and enquiry skills early in the undergraduate geography curriculum and for making these skills explicit to students. A survey of 52 international geography faculty identified critical thinking, framing research questions, reflectivity and creativity as the most challenging research skills to teach early in the undergraduate curriculum. This article provides a range of practical examples …

Men’s and carers’ experiences of care for prostate cancer
Objective To review studies of patients’ and carers’ experience of prostate cancer care. Design Narrative literature review. Methods Search strategies were developed for the following databases: MEDLINE (1966–2006), EMBASE (1980–2006), CINAHL (1982–2006) and PsycINFO (1987–2006).

Explaining chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
There are few studies that investigate how people personally affected by a chronic disease associated with cigarette smoking account for their illness. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a respiratory condition largely caused by cigarette smoking. In order to better understand how people diagnosed with COPD view the relationship between cigarette smoking and their illness we conducted semi-structured interviews with 19 participants. …
Co-learning
What might geography in ‘the universities’ look like if geographers seriously confronted the growing dichotomy between research and teaching? This challenge goes to the heart of ‘the university’ as a site of learning. The authors argue that the globalizing character of higher education gives urgency to re-charting the university as an environment that prioritizes co-learning as the basis for organizing educational activities in geography and pote…
Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial of the Effectiveness of Audit and Feedback and Educational Outreach on Improving Nursing Practice and Patient Outcomes
BACKGROUND: Current understanding of implementation methods is limited, and research has focused on changing doctors' behaviors. AIM: Our aim was to evaluate the impact of audit and feedback and educational outreach in improving nursing practice and patient outcomes. METHODS: Using a factorial design, cluster randomized controlled trial, we evaluated 194 community nurses in 157 family practices and 1078 patients with diagnosis of urinary incontin…
Do they look after their own? Informal support for South Asian carers
Policy on care in the community was founded on the premise that the care of frail elderly people with disabilities would be a joint responsibility for health and social care professionals, and family carers, supported by people within their social networks. The policy assumes that such social networks are common features of all communities in contemporary Britain, containing a reserve of people who can be called upon to provide support to carers.…
Relationship Between Continuity of Care and Diabetes Control
Objectives. We examined the relationship between continuity of care and diabetes control. Methods. We analyzed data on 1400 adults with diabetes who took part in the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. We examined the relationship of continuity of care with glycemic, blood pressure, and lipid control. Results. Continuity of care was associated with both acceptable and optimal levels of glycemic control. Continuity was not asso…

Landcare
Landcare is a response to the land degradation crisis facing Australia and is both a community process and a government policy. ‘Landcare’ is a contested term with different meanings being placed on it by individuals and groups from different places with different levels of power and local knowledge. A key concept of Landcare is forming partnerships, which are also seen in very different terms by various Landcare stakeholders. Landcare places gre…
