Grieving Assisted Dying
The recent legalization of assisted dying (AD) in New Zealand has reshaped experiences of dying and grief, yet AD-related grief remains under-theorised. Guided by the questions of whether particular forms of grief are more prominent at different stages of the AD process, and how these manifestations can inform a grief framework tailored to AD, this qualitative study explores and explains how grief theories apply to AD. Using appreciative inquiry,…
Evading regulation
Increasingly companies use social media influencers to market unhealthy products to young people, although we know little about the influencers young people follow and the content influencers post. This study aimed to identify influencers young people follow, examine their exposure to harmful commodity content in influencer accounts, and examine the Instagram accounts of the most popular influencers for harmful commodity content and marketing. In…
Regarding the pain of women
The title, a variation on Susan Sontag’s regarding the pain of others, is meant as an homage to Sontag and as an extension of her searing critique of war photography and its reflexive objectification of suffering, its conversion of victims into objets d’art. But why, in particular, the pain of women Holocaust victims here? Because we have finally begun to amass a large and profound critical literature on gender and the Holocaust, which, alongside…
The roots of resistance
INTRODUCTION: Augmenting training on the social and structural determinants of health in medical education is essential for addressing health disparities and fulfilling medical schools' accreditation-mandated social accountability obligations. Despite these mandates, significant implementation challenges impede curricular efforts, including faculty capacity and resistance to teaching equity-focused content. To navigate this resistance, we must fi…
‘I don’t consider cancer when I’m grabbing the beer’
Compared with other age groups, adults at midlife consume alcohol at relatively high levels. Alcohol has been linked to a number of long-term health risks, including cancer, although awareness of cancer risk is low. The current study aimed to examine how adults at midlife talk about, understand and consider alcohol-related cancer risks within their life contexts. Individual interviews were undertaken with 37 adults (41–64 years; 28 female, 9 male…
Increasing access to orthotic and prosthetic care in rural communities
BACKGROUND: In the Veteran's Health Administration (VHA), rural Veterans who need orthotic and prosthetic (O&P) care typically travel to urban VHA medical centers (VAMCs). This presents a barrier to receiving O&P care, as travel may be burdensome due to medical or psychosocial issues. The VHA Mobile Prosthetic and Orthotic Care Program (MoPOC) removes access barriers to VHA O&P care by providing care in rural VHA clinics or in Veterans' homes. Th…

Institutional objection to assisted dying
As more countries legalize assisted dying (AD), one issue increasingly debated is institutional objection. This is when an institution decides it does not want to provide AD and wishes to prohibit some or all aspects of the AD process from occurring onsite. Aotearoa New Zealand legalized AD in 2021 but its legislation does not address institutional objection. This paper presents the first detailed examination of this issue in Aotearoa New Zealand…
Alcohol-related health risks, cancer and government drinking guidelines
Alcohol consumption increases longer-term health risks, including cancer. Many adults at midlife in Aotearoa New Zealand drink frequently but may not be aware of such risks. This study examined midlife adults' awareness of alcohol and health risks and their knowledge of government low-risk drinking guidelines. A convenience sample of 502 adults (aged 40-65 years; 70% female) completed an online questionnaire. Almost all respondents reported they …
Indication of mixed glucose and fatty acid use by inferred brown adipose tissue activity in Samoans
OBJECTIVES: Despite the growing rates of global obesity and the known positive associations between brown adipose tissue (BAT) and cardiovascular health, little is known about the metabolic effects of BAT activity in Samoans, a population at high risk of obesity and type II diabetes. Here we assessed the potential effects of inferred BAT activity on metabolic health markers in Samoan adults exposed to mild cold. METHODS: Using point-of-care finge…
Alcohol marketing on social media
Aim Alcohol promotions in conventional channels are associated with subsequent alcohol consumption in young people, but little is known about young people's exposure to digital alcohol marketing. This exploratory study investigated young people's exposure to, and engagement with, alcohol marketing on social media platforms, variations across sociodemographic groups and associations with alcohol-related behaviors
Is there a right time to die? How patients, families and assisted dying providers decide on and anticipate a date with death
Research has explored why people seek assisted dying (AD), families' bereavement, and AD providers' experiences, yet few studies have investigated decision-making of the time and date for AD. This article elucidates how cancer patients, families and AD providers decide on and experience living with a date and time for AD in New Zealand. We longitudinally interviewed 23 people. Using thematic analysis, we identified four decision-making phases: de…
Online news coverage of migrants’ grief at a distance during Covid-19
Grieving at a distance is a common and often challenging experience for migrants. As a result of travel restrictions and border closures, grieving at a distance became a focus of media reporting during the COVID-19 pandemic. This paper aimed to examine the representation of migrants' grief at a distance during the pandemic in online newspaper articles. We used a qualitative framing analysis to analyze nine articles published in online internation…

Face to Face with a Sexist Robot
Remembering the victims of Covid-19
In March 2020, the Covid-19 pandemic had exploded in New York City, across the country, and around the world. At its height, thousands of people were dying every day in quarantined intensive care units and Covid wards, their families forbidden from attending their loved ones' last living moments, even to say good-bye. The victims were dying in isolation, consigned to make-shift morgues, and buried or cremated-without ceremony, without grieving lo…

High Rates of Multimorbidity Reported Among People of Color Despite Healthy Weight
Purpose: Weight management is one of the most cited levers for preventing and managing many chronic conditions, particularly those considered to be "lifestyle modifiable." However, it is unclear how much weight is a driver of illness burden among people of color. This article sought to examine whether people of color are more likely to develop "lifestyle-modifiable" conditions, including diabetes, kidney disease, heart disease, lung disease, and …
Limbic platform capitalism
The purposive design, production and marketing of legal but health-demoting products that stimulate habitual consumption and pleasure for maximum profit has been called ‘limbic capitalism’. In this article, drawing on alcohol and tobacco as key examples, we extend this framework into the digital realm. We argue that ‘limbic platform capitalism’ is a serious threat to the health and wellbeing of individuals, communities and populations. Accessed r…
How are Your Robot Friends Doing? A Design Exploration of Graphical Techniques Supporting Awareness of Robot Team Members in Teleoperation
While teleoperated robots continue to proliferate in domains including search and rescue, field exploration, or the military, human error remains a primary cause for accidents or mistakes. One challenge is that teleoperating a remote robot is cognitively taxing as the operator needs to understand the robot’s state and monitor all its sensor data. In a multi-robot team, an operator needs to additionally monitor other robots’ progress, states, noti…
The Focus They Deserve
Although some issues affect all veterans, problems with community care referrals may disproportionately affect women veterans' access owing to a necessary reliance on community care for a range of gender-specific services
Assisted dying in New Zealand
In New Zealand, aiding and abetting a person to commit suicide or euthanasia even with consent, is unlawful. The introduction of a third Bill on assisted dying to the House of Representatives following a high profile court case, afforded an opportunity for examining how assisted dying is discussed in the public sphere. Social media postings include the voices of citizens who may not participate in formal public consultation processes. Contributor…

ion, in addition to the ways it diffuses a work's sense of mimetic witness, may frustrate as well the memorial's capacity as locus for shared self-image and commonly held ideals. In its hermetic and personal vision, abstraction encourages private visions in viewers, which would defeat the communal and collective aims of public memorials. On the one hand, the specificity of realistic figuration would seem to thwart multiple messages, while abstrac…
The memorial’s arc
Without direct reference to the Holocaust or its contemporary “counter-monuments,” Michael Arad’s design for the National 9/11 Memorial at Ground Zero is nonetheless inflected by an entire post-war generation’s formal preoccupation with loss, absence, and regeneration. This is also a preoccupation they share with post-Holocaust poets, philosophers, artists, and composers: how to articulate a void without filling it in? How to formalize irreparabl…
Moral Economy and Moral Capital in the Community of Clinical Practice
This New Zealand study used focused ethnography to explore the activities of communities of clinical practice (CoCP) in a community-based long-term conditions management program within a large primary health care clinic. CoCP are the informal vehicles by which patient care was delivered within the program. Here, we describe the CoCP as a micro-level moral economy within which values such as trust, respect, authenticity, reciprocity, and obligatio…
Germany's Holocaust Memorial Problem—and Mine
Once not so long ago Germany had what it called a "Jewish Problem". Then it had a paralyzing Holocaust memorial problem, a double-edged conundrum: How would a nation of former perpetrators mourn its victims? How would a divided nation reunite itself on the bedrock memory of its crimes? In June 1999, after ten years of tortured debate, the German Bundestag voted to build a national "Memorial for the Murdered Jews of Europe" on a prime, five-acre p…

Investigating People’s Rapport Building and Hindering Behaviors When Working with a Collaborative Robot
Modern industrial robots are increasingly moving toward collaborating with people on complex tasks as team members, and away from working in isolated cages that are separated from people. Collaborative robots are programmed to use social communication techniques with people, enabling human team members to use their existing inter-personal skills to work with robots, such as speech, gestures, or gaze. Research is increasingly investigating how rob…
The people speak
In New Zealand, aiding and abetting a person to commit suicide or euthanasia even with consent is unlawful. The introduction of a third Bill on assisted dying to the House of Representatives following a high-profile court case afforded an opportunity for examining how assisted dying was discussed in the public sphere. In this article, we report on a discourse analysis of a selection of social media to illustrate the ways in which citizens partici…

Finding the ‘self’ after weight loss surgery
Drawing on narratives derived from two women’s YouTube vlogs (video blogs), we examine what weight loss surgery offers as a mode of being in the world. In these vlogs, Divataunia and Thebandinme have kept a record of their weight loss surgery ‘journey’. We explore the multiple selves they express, drawing on notions of embodiment and post-structuralist conceptualisations of subjectivity, to examine the contradictory and shifting experiences of ha…

After the Holocaust
Like literary and historical narratives of the Holocaust, its memorials also recall both the events and the national myths, religious archetypes and ideological paradigms along whose contours remembrance has been constructed. In their iconographic and architectonic organization, Holocaust memorials reflect particular kinds of political and cultural knowledge even as they shape the understanding future generations will have of this time. This essa…
Communities of clinical practice in action
Burgeoning numbers of patients with long-term conditions requiring complex care have placed pressures on healthcare systems around the world. In New Zealand, complex patients are increasingly being managed within the community. The Community of Clinical Practice concept identifies the network of carers around an individual patient whose central participants share a common purpose of increasing that patient's well-being. We conducted a focused eth…
Living into death
Advance care planning (ACP) has been framed as best practice for quality palliative care, yet a growing body of literature affirms the need for an early iterative ACP process to begin when people are young and healthy. A significant gap appears to exist in the literature regarding the utility of death conversations outside the end-of-life context. Could 'death conversations' early in life be an effective tool by which doctor and patient can co-co…

Toward a Received History of the Holocaust
In this article, I examine both the problem of so-called postmodern history as it relates to the Holocaust and suggest the ways that Saul Friedlander's recent work successfully mediates between the somewhat overly polemicized positions of "relativist" and "positivist" history. In this context, I find that in his search for an adequately self-reflexive historical narrative for the Holocaust, Hayden White's proposed notion of "middle-voicedness" ma…

The euthanasia debate
New Zealand is considering a change in law to permit euthanasia and/or assisted dying (EAD). We reviewed 20 years of research to investigate New Zealanders’ attitudes towards EAD, including those of health professionals. A systematic search was conducted using relevant databases. We identified 21 quantitative and 5 qualitative studies. For quantitative data, descriptive analyses were used to examine any demographic patterns that influenced attitu…
Why worry about something you can't control?' Negotiated risk, longevity and health behaviours
While we know about lay attitudes towards death and dying, we understand little about the ways people estimate their overall personal risk of life-limiting disease and/or death. This study contributes to the limited literature on lay longevity reckonings, with a particular focus on how these reckonings may influence health behaviours. Semi-structured interviews were held with 21 young older adults (54-65 years), addressing the core questions of '…
Employing imaginative rationality
The prevalence of metaphors in medicine is widely acknowledged. In a qualitative study exploring expectations of longevity, we observed repeated recourse to the imaginative rationality provided by metaphors to express perspectives on longevity and death. Bafflement, acceptance, uncertainty and distress were conveyed through metaphors, providing valuable insight into the internal healthcare frameworks of participants. Skilful use of imaginative ra…
