Competition and training load of high-level competitive non-motorised surface water sports athletes
Introduction Monitoring athletes during training and competition is necessary to gather information on athletes' fitness and fatigue to prescribe training loads more precisely. The goal of this process is to improve performance and reduce injury risk. This scoping review aimed to examine and map existing research on monitoring methods for high-level athletes in non-motorised surface water sports, thereby identifying the most commonly used method(…
Alder Hey’s heart of gold
Liverpool is perceived as exceptional, a city apart from the nation, and its health services are no different. Alder Hey, the city's children's hospital, reaffirms this perspective. Its name is inseparable from the scandal surrounding the unlawful removal and retention of thousands of organs, mostly hearts, from children for research purposes over decades culminating in the 2001 Redfern report. This paper contextualises these events by reconstruc…
Medical training pathways and underdoctored areas
Some areas struggle more than others to recruit and retain doctors to provide healthcare services. Often, these areas are rural, coastal, remote, deprived or a combination of all these factors, compounding difficulties in access to healthcare; we refer to these areas as 'underdoctored'. This paper aims to describe experiences of working in underdoctored areas, with a focus on exploring why doctors work in these places to highlight what might enab…

A history of the intermediate tier in the English NHS
Centre‐periphery relations have constituted a paradox for the English National Health Service (NHS) since its creation in 1948. Is it a top‐down national service organised locally, or a bottom‐up arrangement of local health systems managed nationally? North West England provides a regional case study which traces the changing organisational, relational and spatial dimensions of the intermediate tier. These reposition centre‐periphery tensions. In…
'Protecting the NHS' - and its limits
There are limits in articulating political struggles around the NHS and the imagined geographies of the nation: struggles based on nostalgia for the post-war welfare state risk co-opting the NHS for an exclusionary, nationalist politics. In tracing the times and spaces of the health service the article asks: when was the NHS? and where is the NHS? The idea of universal healthcare - and changing ideas of nation, state and welfare - are articulated…
Who cares where the doctors are? The expectation of mobility and its effect on health outcomes
Doctors are typically portrayed as active agents in their work lives. However, this paper argues that this construction of agency ignores the effects of the healthcare structures that constrain choice, which in turn affects population health outcomes. Medical training pathways, regional boundaries, and rationalisation all have a long-lasting impact on the provision of healthcare. Using a mobilities lens to examine the movement of doctors, this pa…
Between “Families in Trouble” and “Children at Risk”
The launch of the Troubled Families Programme in 2011 has thrown into sharp relief how governments develop policies and practices to intervene in the lives of so‐called ‘troubled families’. Commentators were quick to make comparisons with historic efforts to rehabilitate ‘problem families’ in the post‐war period. However, beyond discursive similarities, there are also marked continuities in how family policies have been developed and implemented.…
How Grandma Kate Lost Her Cherokee Blood and What This Says about Race, Blood, and Belonging in Indian Country
This article documents how the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians (EBCI) created the now ubiquitous minimum blood quantum requirement as a rule for tribal membership. In making this argument, received ideas about Indian blood are decentered by demonstrating how Indian blood is created through bureaucratic acts rather than biological processes. As a vehicle to these larger questions, I examine how the US government and the EBCI negotiated the bounda…
Tackling Child Neglect
This edited collection is a further addition to a growing number of volumes released by Jessica Kingsley Publishers which draw upon the combined experience and expertise of academics and practitioners to create a more nuanced discourse concerning child welfare and protection. It seeks to establish a literature and evidence base for practice and policy concerning child neglect, as distinct from abuse and maltreatment, which Ruth Gardner sees as fr…
Getting with the (troubled families) programme’
The commitment of the appointed Director General of the Troubled Families Unit, Louise Casey, that the Troubled Families Programme (TFP) was ‘an opportunity not to repeat the failed attempts of the past’ masks several enduring continuities (Casey, 2012: 3). This review article argues that the TFP should be seen as part of a wider spectrum of policies which locates ‘troubles’ or ‘problems’ in the family itself and emphasises behaviour as the targe…
Some Useful Sources
This useful sources section focuses on four key areas related to the Troubled Families Programme: official government documents and sources of information relating to the programme; emerging academic research relating specifically to the implementation of the programme; sources which help to locate the programme in its wider historical context; and international perspectives which provide information on how ‘troubled families’ are viewed in diffe…
Introduction
The Troubled Families Programme (TFP) was launched by the UK Coalition Government in December 2011. Following the riots that took place in towns and cities across England during that summer, the then Prime Minister David Cameron promised to put ‘rocket boosters’ under plans to ‘turn around’ the lives of the country's ‘most troubled families’ by the end of the Coalition's term of office in May 2015. In his ‘fightback’ speech, delivered just a week…

Education Reform and the Hero's Journey
The current education reform model in America emphasizes uniform standards and data collection through standards-aligned assessments with the goal of producing “college- and career-ready” graduates. To this end, students and teachers, rather than being seen as individuals, are increasingly being identified as the data generated. However, through an emphasis on personal narrative, familiarity with the archetypes of myth and the journey of the hero…

Parental Psychological Control and Authoritarianism in Chinese-Canadian and European-Canadian Cultural Groups
While psychological control and parental authoritarianism are thought to be distinct but related constructs (Barber & Harmon, 2002), the empirical relationships between measures of the constructs has not been assessed. This study examined these relationships, as reported by Chinese-Canadian and European-Canadian undergraduates. It also determined the extent to which participants’ reports of their mothers’ and fathers’ authoritarianism and psychol…
Behavioral and Emotional Problems Reported by Parents of Children Ages 6 to 16 in 31 Societies
This study compared parents' ratings of behavioral and emotional problems on the Child Behavior Checklist (Achenbach, 1991;Achenbach & Rescorla, 2001) for general population samples of children ages 6 to 16 from 31 societies ( N = 55,508). Effect sizes for society ranged from .03 to .14. Effect sizes for gender were ≤ .01, with girls generally scoring higher on Internalizing problems and boys generally scoring higher on Externalizing problems. Ef…

An Extension of Barth's Concept of Ethnic Boundaries to Include Both Other Groups and Developmental Stage of Ethnic Groups
This paper extends Barth's concept of ethnic boundaries and boundary strength to include boundaries maintained by other groups, and to propose that various types of human groups may be related on a continuum through the quality or strength of their boundaries. Three different types of groups "simple" groups, subcultural groups, and ethnic groups-are used to examine this concept in greater detail. It is further suggested that the concept of a cont…

Ancient Greek and Zulu Sacrificial Ritual a Comparative Analysis
In this paper, ancient Greek and Zulu sacrificial ritual are compared in order to test the validity of Burkert's hypothesis about the origins and function of sacrifice. Similarities and differences between the two ritual systems are analysed. The Zulus do not clearly differentiate between Olympian and chthonic deities and sacrifices and seem to sacrifice exclusively to or for the shades or ancestors. The absence of a fully-developed ancestor cult…
