Digital technology design in ageing and engaged societies
Although the equity of many international societies are impacted by intersecting digitalisation and demographic transitions, deficits in digital application innovation for older people continue to be documented. This compromises the capacity of older people to be full citizens in current, and future societies. Utilising a research-informed multistakeholder process, this article investigates design and development considerations for a digital appl…
Older adult grassroots organisations supporting just transitions in multifaceted engagement
Digitalisation has given rise to concerns about the future effectiveness of older adult grassroots organisations in enabling group-based participation in later life. Despite this, these organisations and their potential role in securing a just digital transition has featured in neither research debates nor policy and innovation agendas. It is essential that this absence is addressed to ensure future citizenship rights across civic, social and pol…

Interrogating the effectiveness of service engagement for underserved populations in complex health and social care systems
There are increased sector-wide efforts within health and social care systems to engage those with lived experience in service design, delivery, and monitoring - aiming to secure more equitable health outcomes. However, critical knowledge gaps persist around how national whole-system engagement strategies can account for the challenges experienced by populations that encounter exclusion within complex multi-layered systems. This includes a failur…
Social patterns of ageism
For older persons, age discrimination can undermine equal participation in modern service and consumer societies. One way to tackle age discrimination is to implement anti-discrimination policy and legislation. However, age discrimination is an ambiguous concept that can be interpreted in different ways and differences in the interpretation can impact the scope and application of related policy and legislation. Hence, to understand how policy, le…
The Failure to Recognize Continuing Harm
This article presents findings from a case file review of post-separation parenting cases in England and Wales. It first outlines that jurisdiction's legal framework relevant to these cases, before providing an overview of the findings relating to the profile of the cases and their outcomes. It then describes the types of abuse most frequently encountered in these cases, and examines the attitude of the courts to post-separation abuse by looking …
Countering social exclusion through inclusive homecare provision
Homecare models can be effective mechanisms in securing wellbeing and ageing-in-place goals prevalent in health policy agendas. However, the relevance and utility of these models for those living in socially and environmentally insecure conditions has rarely been considered. This is marked by an assumption of in-situ care delivery in private dwellings, and the absence of such groups from homecare development processes. This study aims to harnesse…
Social exclusion and critical transitions in later life
Unequal ageing patterns are increasingly prevalent within the life courses of heterogeneous older populations. Critical transitions in later life may contribute to these patterns and to more multifaceted deep-rooted forms of social exclusion. Yet despite significant research in this area, knowledge gaps remain regarding the subjective experiences of these transitions, the trajectories and constituent events of these transitions, and the related m…
Life-course transitions and exclusion from social relations in the lives of older men and women
Older people's lived experience and the World Health Organization age-friendly policy framework
Developing age-friendly communities is a significant global policy issue. The World Health Organization's (WHO) age-friendly cities and communities initiative significantly influenced the development of Ireland's Age-friendly Programme. This article critically examines the utilisation of the WHO age-friendly planning framework in the context of Ireland. It explores older adults’ experience of living in a county which is currently implementing an …
Positive health and ageing policies for older Irish travellers and older people who have experienced homelessness in Ireland
Marginalised groups of older people remain neglected in positive health and ageing (PHA) agendas, whether they concern healthy or active ageing concepts. Questions exist around the meaning of such constructs and the factors that enable disadvantaged populations to achieve equitable later-life experiences. Focusing on two such groups in Ireland, this study investigates the constituent dimensions of PHA for older Irish Travellers and older people w…
Understanding online self-directed learning using point of care information systems (Pocis)
PURPOSE OF THE STUDY: Understanding self-directed learning (SDL) when using point of care information systems (POCIS) can inform educational providers of the usefulness of the system for continuing medical education (CME). Sen's capability approach can offer a unique perspective to understand SDL, which considers the extent to which individual valued learning needs can be achieved. The aim of the study was to pilot the use of a questionnaire info…
Incidence and type of restrictive practice use in residential disability facilities in Ireland, a cross‐sectional study
Restrictive practices (RPs) are a contentious issue in health and social care services. While use may be warranted in some instances, there are risks and concerns around human rights infringements. There are limited data available on the types and incidences of RPs used in health and social care services internationally. The objective of this study is to describe the type of RPs and incidence of use in disability residential care facilities (RCFs…
When our Paths Cross Again
This case note examines how the Supreme Court approached the complex problem of overlapping legal proceedings involving asylum claims and child abduction. It analyses the purposive approach taken by the Supreme Court in G v G to the determination of how a child, who has not independently claimed asylum, should be understood to have done so, and the ramifications of this for the child's legal status in any claim for their return under the Hague Co…
Life-Course Marginalities of Positive Health and Aging
There is increased emphasis on adopting positive health and aging policy goals for heterogeneous older populations, and recognition of the role that participatory research approaches can play in supporting their implementation. However, questions remain about how to represent the marginalized experiences of some older populations within such processes. With a focus on older Irish ethnic Travelers and older homeless adults as two vulnerable popula…
How to conduct cost and value analyses in health professions education
Growing demand for accountability, transparency, and efficiency in health professions education is expected to drive increased demand for, and use of, cost and value analyses. In this AMEE Guide, we introduce key concepts, methods, and literature that will enable novices in economics to conduct simple cost and value analyses, hold informed discussions with economic specialists, and undertake further learning on more advanced economic topics. The …
Exclusion from Social Relations in Later Life
Older adults face particular risks of exclusion from social relationships (ESR) and are especially vulnerable to its consequences. However, research so far has been limited to specific dimensions, countries, and time points. In this paper, we examine the prevalence and micro- and macro-level predictors of ESR among older adults (60+) using two waves of data obtained four years apart across 14 European countries in the Survey of Health, Ageing and…
The Relationship between Ageism and Well-Being as Mediated through Covid-19-Related Experiences and Discourses
Both COVID-19 and ageism can have a negative impact on the well-being of older people. Yet, our knowledge on the links between COVID-19, ageism and well-being is still emerging. The present study aimed to contribute to this knowledge by exploring the lived experiences of older adults during the COVID-19 pandemic. To do so, we analyzed older persons' subjective experiences and perceptions of ageism arising from COVID-19-related policies and discou…
The inverse care law and the significance of income for utilization of longterm care services in a Nordic welfare state
The Inverse Care Law states that the availability of good medical care tends to vary inversely with the need of the population served, with previous research indicating that migrant populations might be particularly at risk of this phenomenon. However, the degree to which the law applies to long-term care services (LTCS) in diverse ageing societies, where sizable older migrant populations need to be accounted for, has not been well investigated. …
Composite Measures for Assessing Multidimensional Social Exclusion in Later Life
Positive health among older Traveller and older homeless adults
Concepts related to positive health in later life are increasingly prevalent within community-based health and social care policy. With a greater emphasis on inclusion health for older populations, there is a critical need to understand the determinants of such states for those most at risk of societal disadvantage. Focusing on two such groups, the aim of this article is to synthesise international research on the life-course and structural deter…
Policy and practise perspectives on older adult critical life‐course transitions and place in Ireland
Major transitions in older people's lives can give rise to multifaceted forms of social exclusion, with subsequent impacts for later life health and well-being. With place now a central concept within policy on ageing and community care, there is the potential that it may offer new pathways to support older people undergoing these critical life transitions (CLTs). However, how policy and practice stakeholders working with and on behalf of these p…
Rural old-age social exclusion
Social exclusion amongst rural-dwelling older adults and the role of the diversity of people and places in mediating the construction of that exclusion has not been adequately investigated or conceptualised in the international literature. Consequently, how ageing in a rural community can function to disadvantage or protect older people remains poorly understood. With the aim of advancing conceptual understanding on rural old-age social exclusion…
Ageing in changing community contexts
Care relationships, quality of care and migrant workers caring for older people
Migrant care workers make a substantial contribution to older adult care in Ireland and the United Kingdom (UK). However, little is known about the relational aspects of care involving migrant care workers and older people. Given that the care relationship is closely linked to quality of care, and that the Irish and UK sectors are increasingly restricted by economic austerity measures, this lack of information is a concern for care practice and p…
Imagery and imaginary of islander identity
This article examines the imagery and imaginaries of islander identity and makes an original contribution to the fields of gerontology and nissology. Drawing on data collected through in-depth interviews with 19 older residents of two small-island communities located off the island of Ireland, we address the central roles played by older people in creating and sustaining islander identities. Reflecting both public and private representations of i…
Recruitment processes and immigration regulations
Older adult care in Ireland and the UK has seen substantial recruitment of migrant registered nurses and care assistants. However, there is little information on recruitment methods in this sector and on how the current immigration systems influence these strategies. This article aims to address this topic through a survey of care organizations and interviews with employers and migrant carers in Ireland and the UK. Recruitment of migrant carers i…
Flying Under the Radar? Risks of Social Exclusion for Older People in Rural Communities in Australia, Ireland and Northern Ireland
Risk individualisation is increasingly apparent in policy and practice discourses on social exclusion. For older people who live in rural communities, potentially compounding risk factors associated with social exclusion emerge from the intersection of ageing and rurality. When linked to the diversity of individuals, rural settings, and national jurisdictions, this raises intriguing questions concerning how rural communities perceive and manage r…

Exploring the Impact of Informal Practices on Social Exclusion and Age‐Friendliness for Older People in Rural Communities
This article explores the role of informal practices, across the state, private, voluntary, and family and friend systems, in addressing social exclusion in rural communities in Ireland and Northern Ireland. In doing so, we examine the relevance of the ‘age‐friendly’ concept to rural settings. Using focus group discussions, involving 62 community stakeholders from 10 communities across the two jurisdictions, we explore the four systems and their …
Negotiating User Preferences, Discrimination, and Demand for Migrant Labour in Long-Term Care
The restructuring of long-term care for older people has been marked both by the role of the market and by the role of migrant labor. This article develops the analysis of these processes at the microlevel of the provision of care. It draws on data collected as part of a cross-national comparative study on the employment of migrant care workers in residential care homes and home care services for older people in England and Ireland. The article e…

The Double Power Law in Consumption and Implications for Testing Euler Equations
We provide evidence suggesting that the cross-sectional distributions of US consumption and its growth rate obey the power law in both the upper and lower tails, with exponents approximately equal to four. Consequently, high-order moments are unlikely to exist, and the generalized method of moments estimation of Euler equations that employs cross-sectional moments may be inconsistent. Through bootstrap studies, we find that the power law appears …

Beauty and the Patriarchal Beast
A number of recent situation comedies on U. S. television depict smart, witty, and attractive women who are married to inept, overweight, and immature men. This textual analysis examines two examples of this type of show, The King of Queens (1998-2007) and According to Jim (2001-07), and compares them to older sitcoms. These shows discursively maintain patriarchy by consistently employing two contradictory story lines: the first positions women a…

Complicating the Duality
This article seeks to challenge the prevailing view that child protection legislation introduced in the late Victorian and Edwardian periods was characterised by a victim/threat duality. An examination of the parliamentary debates leading to the passage of major reforming Acts leads to a more complex construction of children. While the classic duality was present in respect of some issues earlier in the period under examination, it gave way to a …
Financial abuse of older people
Financial abuse is widely recognised to be an important but under‐reported risk area for vulnerable adults, especially elderly people. This paper provides an introduction to relevant issues, indicators and remedies. It also highlights areas needing further attention both within the professional council and financial systems such as banking

Learning from autopsies
Tette et al. present a fascinating insight into the utility of autopsies from the point of view of clinicians at their institution. Importantly, the majority of respondents felt that autopsies were useful for the purpose of medical education. However, despite this, only a minority of clinicians attended autopsy sessions and there was clearly limited interaction between clinicians and pathologists.

Nicolas Culpeper
Nicholas Culpeper (1616–1654) was an English physician, herbalist and astrologer. He wrote three books including The English Physician, Complete Herbal and Astrological Judgement of Diseases from the Decumbiture of the Sick . He believed in natural medicine and was critical of the artificial and expensive treatments prescribed by contemporary physicians. He believed that his colleagues were too ready to follow tradition and too often unwilling to…
Claude Bernard and His Pupils
Claude Bernard (1813–1878) was a French physiologist and scientist. He became famous for describing homeostasis but as importantly he was among the first to promote the experimental method. He felt that the reality of what we can observe through experiment should be assigned more weight than what ancient scholars might have written: ‘When we meet a fact which contradicts a prevailing theory, we must accept the fact and abandon the theory, even wh…
Social exclusion of older persons
As a concept, social exclusion has considerable potential to explain and respond to disadvantage in later life. However, in the context of ageing populations, the construct remains ambiguous. A disjointed evidence-base, spread across disparate disciplines, compounds the challenge of developing a coherent understanding of exclusion in older age. This article addresses this research deficit by presenting the findings of a two-stage scoping review e…
