A fisher's perspective
The evolution of marine fisheries has broadly influenced the ecology, distribution and abundance of coastal elasmobranchs. However, quantifying these interactions remains a challenge due to the scarcity of historical records. Fishers' local ecological knowledge (LEK) is an essential tool in fisheries research, providing an avenue to regain scarce information on rare or cryptic species and contextualise modern observations and trends. LEK was coll…
Association between maternal marginalization and infants born with congenital heart disease in Ontario Canada
Higher maternal material deprivation was associated with increasing odds of infant CHD, whereas neighbourhood minority ethnic concentration was inversely associated with the odds of infant CHD. Our study further confirms that poverty is associated with CHD development. Future investigations might focus on the causal pathways between social deprivation, immigrant status, ethnicity, and the risk of infant CHD
The Spectrum of Teaching Styles and models-based practice for physical education
This paper provides a rationale for The Spectrum of Teaching Styles (The Spectrum) as a pedagogical model in teaching physical education (PE). Building on prior discussions/debates ( SueSee et al., 2021 ), we will contest the view that the concept of teaching styles is different from that of a pedagogical model. In doing so, we highlight the most central aspects of The Spectrum and explain fundamental characteristics that warrant its representati…
An appreciative inquiry into physical education teachers creating a cultural interface in games and sport teaching
The Australian Curriculum requires teachers of all learning areas to include Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples’ Culture and History where there is opportunity to do so meaningfully. Despite this requirement, there are few studies considering culturally responsive pedagogy for those perspectives in the teaching of Physical Education (PE) in Australian schools. This study investigated a Year 7 PE teaching team in one school’s implementa…
Conceptualising games and sport teaching in physical education as a culturally responsive curriculum and pedagogy
The Australian Curriculum: Health and Physical Education (Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority (2020a) requires all teachers to include Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’, culture and history where there is scope to meaningfully do so. However, there is a general absence in Australia and internationally of understanding culturally responsive pedagogy for those perspectives in teaching Physical Education (PE). This…
Night Shift Among Women
Background: Asynchrony in circadian processes alters many physiological systems, including female reproduction. Thus, there are possible reproductive consequences of night shift work for women including menstrual irregularity, endometriosis, and prolonged time to conception. This study examined whether women who worked night shift were more likely than those who did not to require fertility treatment to conceive a first birth, whether they had sp…
‘ … If My Family Didn’t Play Football … We Would Literally Have Pretty Much Nothing’
Contemporarily Australian Indigenous peoples are portrayed by white Australians according to deficit understandings. As well as being inaccurate, this depiction, as part of a long-term civilising process, is an expression of ‘fantasy-laden thinking’ [Mennell, S., & Goudsblom, J. (1998). Introduction. In S. Mennell & J. Goudsblom (Eds.), Norbert Elias on civilization, power, and knowledge: Selected writings (pp. 1–45). The University of Chicago Pr…

Epigenetics and Obesity
Bourdieu suggested that the habitus contains the 'genetic information' which both allows and disposes successive generations to reproduce the world they inherit from their parents' generation. While his writings on habitus are concerned with embodied dispositions, biological processes are not a feature of the practical reason of habitus. Recent critiques of the separate worlds of biology and culture, and the rise in epigenetics, provide new oppor…
The effects of house moves during early childhood on child mental health at age 9 years
These findings may suggest that there is a sensitive period, in the first few years of life, in which exposure to increased residential mobility has a detrimental effect on mental health in later childhood
Mothers as smoking guns
Mothers are expected to monitor their children’s dietary intakes and physical activities and are blamed for over feeding their children if they are obese. Women are also urged to manage their own weight in preparation for conception and during pregnancy in order to reduce complications associated with maternal obesity at childbirth. Through a theoretical lens of maternal blame, we argue that Australian media representations of scientific studies …
Telescoping the origins of obesity to women's bodies
This powerful telescoping of the origins of obesity to women's bodies and their appetites is in stark contrast to earlier foci on gender inequalities and changing women's circumstances
P1-18 Studying early pregnancy during infertility treatment may identify novel risk factors for congenital malformations
Introduction The study of early pregnancy risk is generally very difficult, but potentially feasible in women during clinical infertility treatment with gamete and embryo data, known gestation, routine ultrasound in early pregnancy, and detailed recording of birth outcomes. Methods All treatment cycles of assisted reproductive technology (ART) for the period January 1986 to December 2002 in South Australia were linked to both the routine State pe…
Lower age at menarche affects survival in older Australian women
Women with lower age at menarche may have reduced survival into old age. These results lend support to the known associations between earlier menarche and risk of metabolic disease in early adulthood. Strategies to minimise earlier menarche, such as promoting healthy weights and minimising family dysfunction during childhood, may also have positive longer-term effects on survival in later life
In the name of the child
This paper investigates the ways in which 'the child' is positioned in obesity debates and, in doing so, examines the discursive relations between childhood obesity, mothering and child neglect. Using legal cases of parental neglect and an analysis of representations of obesity in Australian print media, we argue that a particular constellation of 'child politics' in which children are represented as innocent victims of poor parenting is at play.…
Food and nutrient intakes of 9-month-old infants in Adelaide, Australia
Objective To describe the food and nutrient intakes of 9-month-old infants. Design A survey undertaken as part of a longitudinal study of child growth and development. Infant diet was characterised through a structured interview in which consumption frequency and portion size of foods were obtained. This method was compared with a 4 d diary and had adequate relative validity. Setting Adelaide, Australia. Subjects Three hundred and forty-one infan…
Consuming bodies
In popular, academic and policy discourses it is taken for granted that consumption plays a vital role in the obesity epidemic. Mass consumption, associated changes to ‘lifestyle’ and the emergence of ‘obesogenic’ environments are viewed as underpinning the dramatic rise in the prevalence of overweight and obesity. As a result, excess body weight has transitioned from risk factor to ‘disease’ status, with overconsumption identified as the princip…
Bodies, mothers and identities
Despite the intense level of attention directed towards obesity, there has been limited success in addressing the rising rates of this public health phenomenon. This paper argues that current approaches to obesity fail to consider concepts of embodiment, and in particular, that gendered and class-based experiences of embodiment are ignored in health promotion practices and policies. Drawing on Bourdieu's concept ofhabitus, this ethnographic study…
Mothers' views on feeding infants around the time of weaning
Objective To describe women's views about aspects of infants' diets around the time of weaning, making comparisons with national guidelines. Design A survey of women with a 9-month-old child. Setting Adelaide, South Australia. Subjects Five hundred and five women who joined a longitudinal study during pregnancy. Results Sources of information varied, with written material most commonly used (37%). Cows' milk was considered suitable as the main dr…
Associations Between Exposure to Fluoridated Drinking Water and Dental Caries Experience among Children in Two Australian States
Fluoridation was associated with lower caries experience. The weaker association with DMFS in South Australia may be due to less caries and more fissure sealants in that state, and is consistent with a "diffusion" effect, whereby a high proportion of the population exposed to fluoridation diminishes differences among exposure groups
