Community case study
The Tri-County Detroit Area (TCDA) is the 12th most populous metropolitan area in the United States with over three million people. Multiple communicable diseases are endemic in the TCDA. In 2017, to explore innovative methods that may provide early warnings of outbreaks affecting populations in the TCDA, an exploratory partnership that was funded by a U.S. National Science Foundation Early-concept Grant for Exploratory Research (EAGER) began.

Drivers and barriers to promoting self-care in individuals living with multiple long-term health conditions
Self-care is important for service users who live with multimorbidity. H&SCPs identified loneliness, social isolation, mobility and access to services, and support in understanding or complying with a medical regimen as key obstacles to self-care for service users. Extant barriers identified by H&SCPs were associated with service users' ability and opportunity to sustain self-care, especially relating to feelings of loneliness and experiences of …
Wastewater surveillance beyond Covid-19
Introduction: Throughout the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, wastewater surveillance has been utilized to monitor the disease in the United States through routine national, statewide, and regional monitoring projects. A significant canon of evidence was produced showing that wastewater surveillance is a credible and effective tool for disease monitoring. Hence, the application of wastewater surveillance can extend beyond monitoring …
Targeting a free viral fraction enhances the early alert potential of wastewater surveillance for Sars-CoV-2
Introduction: Wastewater surveillance has proven to be a valuable approach to monitoring the spread of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Recognizing the benefits of wastewater surveillance as a tool to support public health in tracking SARS-CoV-2 and other respiratory pathogens, numerous wastewater virus sampling and concentration methods have been tested for appropriate applications as well as their significa…
Improving Multidisciplinary Team Working to Support Integrated Care for People with Frailty Amidst the Covid-19 Pandemic
Multidisciplinary team (MDT) working is essential to optimise and integrate services for people who are frail. MDTs require collaboration. Many health and social care professionals have not received formal training in collaborative working. This study investigated MDT training designed to help participants deliver integrated care for frail individuals during the Covid-19 pandemic. Researchers utilised a semi-structured analytical framework to sup…
Introduction to disaster prevention
Drawing the case studies together
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to individually examine the findings from eight case studies presented in this special issue and comparatively identify the findings regarding local learning and action. Design/methodology/approach Underlying research questions regarding power and powerlessness in regard to addressing underlying risk factors affecting local populations form the basis for the discussion. Proceedings of a collaborative workshop …
Local voices and action
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to discuss the findings from the body of case studies offered in the issue, combined with three external perspectives on local voices and action. Design/methodology/approach Using as its basis the eight key case studies and three external contributions to the special issue, the paper offers a theoretical framework as a basis for discussion of this material. Through this, it identifies possible modes of action …
Developing the CSO case studies
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to outline the iterative process which led to the production of the case studies prepared by Civil Society Organisations which are at the core of this Special issue. Design/methodology/approach The development of the papers has been a process of “case study authors” peer group (editors included) exchange and discussed development, in a reactive or “stepwise” process encouraging authors to develop their materia…
Social and economic inequality limits disaster prevention amongst the most vulnerable in Vietnam
Purpose Vietnam is historically hit by extensive disasters. However, the most vulnerable populations are far from being backed by national/local programmes to reduce disaster impacts on their well-being. In practice, political and socio-economic top-down organisation, channels efforts and limited resources into wealthier parts of the country. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach Learning from 30 years work in Vietna…
GIS and local knowledge in disaster management
Linking community knowledge with modern techniques to record and analyse risk related data is one way of engaging and mobilising community capacity. This paper discusses the use of the Geographic Information System (GIS) at the local level and the need for integrating modern technology and indigenous knowledge into disaster management. It suggests a way to mobilise available human and technical resources in order to strengthen a good partnership …

The Logical Inconsistency of the Old Quantum Theory of Black Body Radiation
The old quantum theory of black body radiation was manifestly logically inconsistent. It required the energies of electric resonators to be both quantized and continuous. To show that this manifest inconsistency was inessential to the theory's recovery of the Planck distribution law, I extract a subtheory free of this manifest inconsistency but from which Planck's law still follows

Akenside's The Pleasures of Imagination
THE VALUE OF The Pleasures of Imagination to contemporary study of eighteenth-century culture cannot be justified by a recognition of its wit, subtlety or irony. In contrast to Pope or Swift, Akenside seems abstruse and sober. A study of Akenside's major poetic effort, published when he was only twenty-two, should concede these points. The question of justifying another study needs to be asked, however, if only because the consistency of previous…
