Governing International Schools
Expansion in international schools globally has created a sector that is a significant force in global education. With over 14,000 such schools worldwide, serving a student cohort standing at almost 7 million, the sector has a similar number of students to a country such as Italy. Despite their increasing presence, the governance systems of these schools are under-researched. This paper contributes to this space, by focusing on international scho…
Populism in the age of social media
Digital platforms have become central infrastructures of contemporary populism, shaping how actors communicate, mobilise supporters and contest democratic norms. This article offers a systematic, cross-disciplinary review of empirical research on digital populism published between 2015 and early 2025. Analysing 188 studies from political communication, media studies and political science, we map how platform affordances structure populist communi…

Paediatric medical evacuations from Gaza have been obstructed and are increasingly difficult
Towards the end of 2024, evacuating patients from Gaza for essential – and often lifesaving – medical and surgical care had become a near-impossible task. Since Moscatelli et al. shared their insig
Mixed methods evaluation of a low-carbohydrate high-fat nutrition education program for women from underserved communities in South Africa
South Africa faces a dual burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and communicable diseases, exacerbated by the high consumption of processed foods. The Eat Better South Africa (EBSA) program implements community-based low-carbohydrate, high-fat (LCHF) interventions to address these issues. This study evaluated the impact of EBSA's 6-week program on the metabolic health and well-being of 32 women from underserved communities. It assessed outco…

Promoting mental well-being in Western Australia
The Act Belong Commit® mental health promotion campaign aims to improve population mental well-being. Based on a social-franchising model, partnerships are sought with organizations offering ‘mentally healthy activities’ that foster social connectedness and mental well-being. There are four categories of partner organizations sought: Site (government agencies and health services), Associate (organizations with state-wide or national services), Co…
Israeli necropolitics and the pursuit of health justice in Palestine
We abhor the continuation and acceleration of the Israeli state's systemic violence against the Palestinian people. We reassert that resolution of the settler colonial root causes of violence in Palestine is central to the pursuit of justice and peace. The moral foundations of global health and medical practice require us to prioritise and foreground oppressed realities, and to practise epistemic resistance. Framing Palestinian violence on Octobe…
Violence in Palestine demands immediate resolution of its settler colonial root causes
Using Religious Symbols and Religious Teachings to Cope during Times of Adversity
This qualitative descriptive study explored how devout Catholics described how they used religious symbols and teachings to cope with personal challenges in southeastern Virginia in the United States of America. The sample included the faithful, who regularly used religious symbols and teachings and actively worshipped in a church building or remotely at least once a month. The theoretical foundation was the Symbolic Interactionism Theory (SIT). …
John le Carré’s The Looking Glass War
Published in 1965, John le Carré’s The Looking Glass War was met with little of the acclaim given to its predecessor, The Spy Who Came in from the Cold. In this article, I propose an alternative reading of the novel, suggesting that it is embroiled in long-running debates within the British intelligence community, specifically the rivalry that occurred between the Special Operations Executive (SOE) and the Secret Intelligence Service in WW2. Thro…
Hey, Google, leave those kids alone
Covid‐19 in Western Australia
BACKGROUND: Children with long-term conditions are vulnerable due to the treatments required for their conditions. Since the start of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, Western Australians experienced restrictions that changed daily life activities but were able to return to some of their previous routines due to the restrictions. AIM: The study explored the stress experiences of parents caring for children with long-term condition…
Exploring the Use of Photovoice in Understanding the Lived Experience of Neurological Conditions
People living with neurological conditions such as multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease and dementia may experience physical impairment, social disengagement, cognitive issues, and emotional disturbances. While qualitative research utilising in-depth interviews can access lived experience perspectives, the use of photovoice has the potential to obtain rich insights that include images and raise community awareness. The purpose of this scoping …
Forming Physicians
This paper offers a novel, qualitative approach to evaluating the outcomes of integrating humanities and ethics into a newly revised pre-clerkship medical education curriculum. The authors set out to evaluate medical students’ perceptions, learning outcomes, and growth in identity development. Led by a team of interdisciplinary scholars, this qualitative project examines multiple sources of student experience and perception data, including studen…
Feasibility Meets Implementation Science
Background There is a need to identify why multiple sclerosis exercise research is not translating into real-world participation. To lay the foundations of strong clinical research, considering the translational element of implementation science at the feasibility phase of a trial is vital. Methods Document analysis was used to examine document sources on exercise activity interventions designed for people living with multiple sclerosis. Document…

Defining Food Safety Inspection
Food safety inspections are a key health protection measure applied by governments to prevent foodborne illness, yet they remain the subject of sustained criticism. These criticisms include inconsistency and inadequacy of methods applied to inspection, and ineffectiveness in preventing foodborne illness. Investigating the validity of these criticisms represent important areas for further research. However, a defined construct around the meanings …
Health system governance in settings with conflict-affected populations
Health system governance has been recognized as critical to strengthening healthcare responses in settings with conflict-affected populations. The aim of this review was to examine existing evidence on health system governance in settings with conflict-affected populations globally. The specific objectives were (1) to describe the characteristics of the eligible studies; (2) to describe the principles of health system governance; (3) to examine e…
The Voices of Stakeholders Involved in Precision Medicine
We report a novel approach of amalgamating implementation outcomes of acceptability and fidelity alongside context as a new way of qualitatively evaluating implementation outcomes and context of a precision medicine intervention. A rapid qualitative online proforma was co-designed with stakeholders and sent to a purposive sample of healthcare professionals involved in an early-phase clinical trial intervention. Data were analysed using Framework …

Policing is a threat to public health and human rights
box The impact of policing on individual and collective well-being and human rights has gained renewed attention. In 2020, global protests against police violence, racism and white supremacy were met with further violence by state security actors. In Nigeria, at least 56 people were killed during protests in opposition to the Nigerian police force’s ‘Special Anti-Robbery Squad’ in October 2020 alone.1 Peripheral calls to defund and abolish the po…
Understanding the health needs of internally displaced persons
We seek to strengthen understanding of the health needs of internally displaced persons (IDPs) in contexts of conflict or violence. Based upon a scoping review, our paper identified limited evidence on IDP health, but nevertheless indicates that IDPs tend to experience worse health outcomes than other conflict-affected populations across a range of health issues; and this is due to the particularly vulnerable situation of IDPs relative to these o…

Inequality in international trade? Developing countries and institutional change in WTO dispute settlement
The dispute settlement mechanism of the World Trade Organization (WTO) is a controversial exercise in legalization at the international level, with direct implications for inequality between developed and developing countries. Conventional wisdom suggests that moves to establish binding, third-party arbitration in international law generally favor smaller, less powerful states. Nevertheless, many of the most pointed criticisms of the new WTO syst…
Cultural Aspects Of Europeanization
This article takes an in‐depth look at the cultural implications of membership of the European Union (EU) for a UK government department. As part of a broader examination of how Europeanization, in its various forms, has affected a range of Whitehall departments, Bulmer and Burch (1998) concluded that the cultural element of change in the UK has been limited in the sense that existing administrative traditions within government departments have n…

No Time to Be Young
This paper concentrates on the economic experiences of the baby-boom cohorts. We first document their early career experience and demonstrate that indeed this was no time to be young. We then offer reasons why cohort size may be important and note which people, within a cohort, are most likely to be adversely affected. We estimate the magnitude of cohort size effects on earnings potential throughout the work career

Exploring definitions of success in Northern Territory Indigenous higher education policy
This article critically examines definitions of policy ‘success’ in the context of historical Indigenous higher education policy in the Northern Territory (NT), Australia. We begin by summarising applications of the often-used but arbitrary, rarely-critiqued terms ‘policy success’ and ‘what works’. The paper chronologically articulates what ‘policy success’ has looked like in the context of historical Northern Territory higher education, based on…
Decolonising online development studies? Emancipatory aspirations and critical reflections – a case study
Academics in high-income countries are increasingly launching development studies programmes through online distance learning to engage practitioner-students in low-income countries. Are such initiatives providing opportunities to critically tackle social injustice, or merely ‘mirroring’ relations of global inequality and re-entrenching imperial practices? Building on recent scholarship addressing efforts to ‘decolonise development studies’ and t…

Information Technology Planning and the Y2K Problem in Local Governments
This article examines local responses to the Year 2000 (Y2K) problem in Iowa to analyze how local governments plan for information technology (IT) operations. Many local governments lacked concrete plans and failed to think strategically about the Y2K problem at the beginning of 1999. A logistic analysis shows that the decision to form a concrete Y2K strategy depended on management attitudes and the technological sensitivity of local decision mak…

Catching a Speeding Train
President Obama (2015) announced last year in his State of the Union Address a “federal precision medicine initiative” designed to harness new genomics technologies. Social work education has a lot of ground to make up, and fast, as the pace of discovery in genetics and genomics not only transforms our ability to understand and treat disease, but also, in many cases, challenges deeply held senses of self and identity. In anticipation of the Counc…
Biofuels, food security, and Africa
Global biofuel production tripled between 2000 and 2007 and is projected to double again by 2011.1 This growth reflects a growing interest worldwide in renewable energy alternatives to fossil fuels, especially as a perceived solution to the transport sector’s dependency on oil. It also reflects the enforcement in 2005 of the Kyoto Protocol, and the increasing implementation of national biofuels targets. As a result of these and other influences, …
Sub-national Mobilization and the Scottish Government’s Action Plan on European Engagement
In April 2008 the Scottish Government, headed by a minority nationalist administration, published an Action Plan on European Engagement which sets out the Scottish National Party’s (SNP) key strategies and priorities for achieving effective sub-national inputs to European Union (EU) policy. Although responsibility for EU affairs is reserved to Westminster under the UK devolution settlement, longstanding mechanisms for territorial involvement have…
Culturing Development
This paper analyses a biotechnology-focused project which aims to promote the development and adoption of tissue culture bananas by small-scale farmers in Kenya. The paper highlights the generation of several important narratives that are used to justify the development and dissemination of this technology. First, a disaster narrative, a series of claims regarding rural livelihoods and banana production in Kenya, is generated. This creates a poli…

The Constraint-Effects-Mitigation Involvement Loyalty Model
This systematic review deliberately included studies with diverse methodologies in order to establish the general applicability of a constraint-effects-mitigation involvement loyalty model, a status which has only been indirectly accorded to it within the literature to date. Studies conducted between 1987 and the present covering 27 papers in several different settings consistently demonstrated that leisure involvement can necessitate negotiation…
A New Defendant at the Table
Like many other states, Missouri has gone through several rounds of school finance litigation. However, the trial just concluded was unusual in two respects. First, three taxpayers were allowed to intervene for the defense and, in the process, raise important questions concerning the efficiency of school spending and broader questions of school reform. Second, the outcome at the circuit court level, which focused nearly entirely on points of law,…
Participation, Communication and Innovation
This article is an attempt to think about participation not as an event but rather as part of an effort to build systems and institutions in science, technology and innovation in developing countries. It uses two notions of participation, one as a mechanism to facilitate democracy and broader control and another as a means to achieve development goals. The article looks at the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative (IAVI) and in particular conside…
Attitudes and Approaches to Europeanisation
This article seeks to investigate the attitudes and approaches adopted by UK civil servants as they undergo Europeanisation processes and accommodate the demands arising from membership of the European Union, a supranational tier of governance. Drawing extensively upon interview source material, the analysis reveals the extent to which the traditions and approaches of individual departments can shape their own particular forms of adaptation. At t…

The garments that honour the cross in The Dream of the Rood
In lines 14b–15a of The Dream of the Rood the cross is said to be honoured by a garment, or garments ( wædum geweorðode ) and in a 21b–2a it is said to change ( wendan ) because of or along with or with respect to these garments. What they might be is a question which has racked many brains. The usual opinion at the present day is that they are some kind of cloth trappings. Cook, for instance, was reminded of a streamer which, he said, formed par…
Self-poisoning and self-injury in the Oxford area. Epidemiological aspects 1969-73
A prospective study of self-poisoning and self-injury in the Oxford area for 1972-73 and a retrospective study for 1969 has shown the following: (a) The number of admissions to a general hospital following self-poisoning and self-injury has increased by approximately 45% in 3 1/2 years. The increase is more marked in women than in men. (b) When compared with a previous study the incidence in Oxford city has quadrupled in ten years. (c) A total of…

Engagement
The end of the cold war calls for a new national strategy to deal with the challenges of the next decade. American national strategy must now be interest‐based to replace a policy of containment that was based on balance‐of‐power considerations. Regionally oriented, our national strategy must recognize the gradual move toward regional security systems, accept a myriad of non‐traditional threats, and foster growth in such areas as human rights.

Behavior, society, and broken promises
Behavior, Society, and International Conflict begins with a promise: that it will be able to deal appropriately with the vast area of its title, and that its content will match the impressive cast-list on its cover. In terms of subject area, this book is the third in a series that began as Behavior, Society and Nuclear That fact shows up in the choice of articles, which seems somewhat disjointed under the new title; we see articles ranging from a…
Civil Service Reform
One of (he most important and far reaching reforms of the British administrative system in the 20th Century has been the introduction of the Next Steps initiative in the civil service. However, very little attempt has been made to look at these changes within the context of Scottish administration. Arguably, it might be suggested that such a task is unccessary if one accepts that the civil service at the Scottish Office is merely an outpost of a …

What Hath Cambridge To Do With Azusa Street? Radical Orthodoxy and Pentecostal Theology in Conversation
An Incremental Odyssey
For over a quarter of a century departments of central government in the United Kingdom have faced a number of challenges stemming from UK membership of the European Union (EU), previously the European Community (EC). In effect, UK government bureaucracy, as with that of other member states, has undergone adaptation processes of various sorts as it has sought to accommodate demands springing from an essentially supranational body. Thus, as the UK…
