Lymphatic filariasis as an indigenous illness
Lymphatic filariasis (LF), also known as elephantiasis, is a chronic disease that is devastating for patients, both bodily and socially. Besides the unbearable chronic pain, disfigured limbs, and loss of livelihood, people living with LF are stigmatized and sometimes abandoned by family. To ease the burden of people living with LF, known locally as gyepim or duba , the social and cultural aspects must be investigated in unison with the biomedical…
Evaluating the Mental Health (MH) impact of the Covid-19 pandemic for stable patients with HIV
People living with HIV (PLWH) have a higher prevalence of mental ill health compared to the general population. We aimed to understand the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and omitting routine HIV appointments on the mental health (MH) of PLWH. Between April 2020 and March 2021, routine appointments for "stable" PLWH were replaced by virtual consultations. MH assessments using standardised questionnaires were compared before and during the pandemi…
Are Elephants Beautiful
Elephants have long been proverbial symbols of political power in Ghana, but over the past 100 years a hybrid environmental aesthetic has emerged amongst people who live next to wild spaces, one that combines notions of a positive aesthetic with a sense of culture and historicity. Using interviews and archival material, this article asks how a human reverence for wild spaces emerged. It also traces the historical relationship between humans and a…
The Civic Identity of the Ethical Consumer
Ethical consumerism describes market transactions where consumers’ preferences stretch beyond immediate self-interest to prosocial objectives. How such activities relate to more traditional forms of civic engagement (such as giving or activism) remains unclear; as a market-situated activity, ethical consumerism is often omitted from accounts of civic engagement or predicted to erode commitment to civic action. This paper reports findings from an …
Underutilization of Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement in Northern Plains American Indians with Severe Aortic Stenosis
Introduction Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has overtaken surgical aortic valve replacement and revolutionized the treatment strategy for aortic valve replacement. Little is known on the disparities among minorities, especially American Indians (AI), undergoing this procedure. We explore TAVR outcomes to identify disparities at our institution. Methods Retrospective chart review was completed on patients who underwent TAVR at a Nor…
Funerals in Africa
Across Africa, funerals and events remembering the dead have become larger and even more numerous over the years. Whereas in the West death is normally a private and family affair, in Africa funerals are often the central life cycle event, unparalleled in cost and importance, for which families harness vast amounts of resources to host lavish events for multitudes of people with ramifications well beyond the event. Though officials may try to reg…

Buying for good
The extent of altruistic behaviour and its relationship to the market has been a major interest of social policy analysts since the pioneering work of Richard Titmuss. Here we report on empirical research into such behaviour in consumer markets where self‐interest might be expected to dominate but whose participants are increasingly demonstrating more ethical concerns. We discuss three factors that have been hypothesized to affect the extent and …

Medicine for Hatred
Ga proverbial wisdom holds that "hate has no medicine," but there is a sacred court in Accra where people can calm the animosity that emerges from social conflicts. A unique form of vernacular jurisprudence has emerged at the Nae We Shrine Tribunal, which manages the consequences of civil, criminal, and supernatural crimes without raising the ire of human rights activists. Using records from this shrine court, the authors of this article demonstr…

Power, Culture and Modernity in Nigeria
In 1914, the (in)famous Lord Frederick Lugard announced the unification of Northern and Southern Nigeria, giving birth to a type of administration that became known as indirect rule. The current hi
Bringing the Music Out, Bringing the Listener In
This article explores the function of the gérong, the male chorus in Central Javanese gamelan, from a primarily analytical perspective but also includes ethnographic material. It argues that the four separate musical roles that the gérong perform share a unified purpose within the ensemble: to make particular elements of musical structure and interpretation more readily apparent and approachable for nonspecialist audience members. It argues that …
Western medicine in Africa, part II
Before 1900, Western medicine struggled to attract patients in Africa. As part 2 of the history of European medical practice in Africa before 1900, this article describes how practitioners from Europe tried to win over patients in Ethiopia and East and Southern Africa, regions that already had pluralistic healing networks of herbal and spiritual therapies. Western medicine began at a disadvantage because it could offer little to combat the diseas…
Western medicine in Africa to 1900, Part I
As Part I of the history of Western Medicine in Africa before 1900, this article covers North, West, and Central Africa regions where European medical practitioners struggled to gain recognition within established pluralistic networks of herbal and spiritual therapies. Western medicine started at a disadvantage, with no treatments to combat tropical illness or epidemic disease. Nonetheless, practitioners from Europe gradually defined their role a…

Young Adult Graduates Living in the Parental Home
In the United Kingdom and the United States, significant numbers of university graduates live with their parents, but little is known about expectations regarding parental support. This article focuses on a sample of British middle-class families and their coresident young adult children. It explores the extent to which parents and their graduate children have consistent expectations regarding coresidence and financial support and how such suppor…

The experience of co-residence
Finishing full-time higher education is one of the main reasons for returning home to live. Graduates who return to co-residence with their parents experience a delay in achieving full adult independence, which may pose problems for them and for their parents. In this article we use face-to-face interview data to explore the feelings and perceptions of 27 co-resident graduate ‘returners’ and one of their parents. We classify parent–returner dyads…
Living with the parents
Young graduates in England often return to the parental home after a period of living away during their university studies. Little is known, however, about why they return and how coresidence with parents fits within a life trajectory. This paper reports upon an in-depth cross-sectional qualitative study of young graduates’ coresidence with their parents. It identifies a five-part typology of the purpose of coresidence as perceived by the graduat…
Small Works, Big Stories. Methodological approaches to photogrammetry through crowd-sourcing experiences
A recent digital public archaeology project (HeritageTogether) sought to build a series of 3D ditigal models using photogrammetry from crowd-sourced images. The project saw over 13000 digital images being donated, and resulted in models of some 78 sites, providing resources for researchers, and condition surveys. The project demonstrated that digital public archaeology does not stop at the 'trowel's edge', and that collaborative post-excavation a…
Crowd-sourcing archaeological research
Archaeologists are increasingly working with crowd-sourced digital data. Using evidence from other disciplines about the nature of crowd-sourcing in academic research, we suggest that archaeological projects using donated data can usefully be differentiated between generative projects (which rely on data collected by citizen scientists), and analytical projects (which make use of volunteers to classify, or otherwise analyse data that are provided…
Paying for Higher Education in England
Responsibility for meeting the costs of higher education in England has moved inexorably away from the government toward the family with the introduction of tuition fee and maintenance loans. Although an important public policy issue, there is limited research on how the policy impinges on the private sphere of the family. This paper focuses on financial support given by parents, including difficulties and constraints along with their perspective…
Parents’ involvement and university students’ independence
Living away from home at university has long been seen as a first step on the road to fully independent living, but considerable concern has been expressed by some commentators that involved parenting – sometimes termed ‘helicopter parenting’ – threatens the transition to independence. We approached students and parents at two pre-1992 universities and interviewed 29 parent-student dyads. The paper focuses on non-financial support and the analysi…

Accountability and Sanctions in English Schools
This paper focuses on accountability in school-based education in England. It explores notions of accountability and proposes a new framework for its analysis. It then identifies a number of types of accountability which are present in school-based education, and discusses each in terms of who is accountable to whom and for what. It goes on to examine the sanctions associated with each type of accountability and some possible effects of each type…

Funding Early Years Education And Care
There has been a focus on policies relating to early years education and care across the developed world and particularly in Europe. In the UK, there has been a raft of policy changes alongside increased investment. However, this paper argues that these changes may not be sufficient to meet EU objectives in terms of quality or the government's policy goals of high quality, affordable and accessible early years education and care. There are major …

Trust and Early Years Childcare
Relationships of trust are central to the provision of public services. There are, however, concerns that public service reform may disrupt established trust relations. One such reform is the provision of services by a mix of organisations from state, for-profit and third sectors. This paper reports upon an empirical study of the trust relationships between parents and diverse organisations providing early years childcare. It considers whether or…
Medical Exchange on the Gold Coast during the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries
Historians of the Atlantic slave trade have argued that the inhabitants of the Gold Coast of West Africa participated in a system of cultural and material exchange during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries that resulted in the diffusion and syncretism of ideas and practices. This position presumes that the cultures of the Gold Coast were transformed by centuries of contact with the peoples of the Atlantic Rim. Despite the intensive commerci…
Korle and the Mosquito
From 1942 to 1945, British and American armed forces attempted to eradicate malaria in Accra by dredging the sacred Korle Lagoon and spraying the city with pesticides. They also conducted experiments on the biting patterns of mosquitoes by using human subjects as bait. But, despite the extent of the anti-malaria campaign, it is largely forgotten by the inhabitants of Accra, and those who do remember it regard it as a nominal event in the history …

Remembering Korle Bu Hospital
On the evening of 8 October 1973, a group of physicians led a watchnight ceremony on the campus of the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital in Accra, Ghana. At midnight, Dr. Portuphy-Lamptey, the Chief Medical Administrator, pulled a lanyard to raise an official flag inaugurating the Hospital's Golden Jubilee Anniversary. The next day, the Ghanaian Commissioner for Health, Lieutenant Colonel A.H. Selormey, unveiled an anniversary plaque that thanked and pr…

Wordsworth, Epitaph, and the ‘Epitaphic’
Wordsworth's writing is preoccupied with the social and literary functions of the lapidary epitaph, and with its peculiar material nature. This article traces how this area of Wordsworth's writing came to the fore in 1960s scholarship – but in the process divided the ‘epitaphic’ from the ‘epitaph’ at the increasing expense of the latter. While the former has been developed through subtle and influential linguistic argument, this article calls for…

The Oxford Handbook of the Reception History of the Bible
There is a long-standing Jewish tradition, both religious and secular, of responding to catastrophe in the present by recalling, and recasting, models and archetypes from the past, particularly from the Bible. They may be recalled literally, as traditionally understood, or rewritten, even parodied (often violently), in order to challenge and/or subvert more traditional readings. Interrogating and/or deconstructing traditional responses and archet…

Making the Transition from Sure Start Local Programmes to Children's Centres, 2003-2008
Sure Start local programmes (SSLPs), an area-based early intervention programme for under fives in England set up in 1998, was replaced by children's centres (CCs), a universal, mainstream service, under the control of local authorities in 2003. This paper uses qualitative data from three urban authorities in an exploratory study that investigates how far CCs differ from SSLPs, and how far they are more recognisably similar to one another than we…
