Understanding the barriers and enablers to agroforestry adoption in Ireland through an innovation systems approach
Increasing tree cover on Irish dairy and drystock farms
Agroforestry has been cited as a means to increase sustainability and biodiversity at a farm level while allowing farming to continue on the same parcel of land. However, even with profitable financial incentives currently in place to promote agroforestry uptake, uptake remains low in Ireland. This highlights that farmer decision-making regarding the adoption of agri-environmental measures do not follow the assumed economic rationality. To better…
How to Take Over and Revise a Medical Ethnology Course in the Post-Everything Era
Nearly all university lectures have faced the challenges of taking over a course from colleagues. Yet the conceptual and practical challenges of this process are rarely discussed in higher education. In this article, I describe my experiences of becoming the course convenor of an existing medical ethnology course and revising it. The first challenge was to make the course my own, while also maintaining the existing positive aspects. A secondary, …
Accessibility and availability of assisted reproductive technology for people living with HIV in Europe
As antiretroviral therapies have transformed HIV into a manageable chronic disease, many individuals have or will choose to have children, and the use of assisted reproductive technology can serve as an effective risk-reducing strategy. In this thematic literature review, we examine the state of research on access to and availability of assisted reproductive health technologies for people living with HIV in Europe, with the aim of identifying gap…
Movement of knowledge
Medical knowledge is always in motion.It moves from the lab to the office, from a press release to a patient, from an academic journal to a civil servant's desk and then on to a policymaker.Knowledge is deconstructed, reconstructed, and transformed as it moves.The dynamic, ever-evolving nature of medical knowledge has given rise to different concepts to explain it: diffusion, translation, circulation, transit, co-production.At the same time, its …
Measuring success in global health diplomacy
Global health diplomacy (GHD) focuses on international negotiation; principally between nation states, but increasingly non-state actors However, agreements made at the global level have to be enacted at the national, and in some cases the sub-national level. This presents two related problems: (1) how can success be measured in global health diplomacy and (2) at what point should success be evaluated? This commentary highlights these issues thro…
Challenges in researching violence affecting health service delivery in complex security environments
Complex security environments are characterized by violence (including, but not limited to "armed conflict" in the legal sense), poverty, environmental disasters and poor governance. Violence directly affecting health service delivery in complex security environments includes attacks on individuals (e.g. doctors, nurses, administrators, security guards, ambulance drivers and translators), obstructions (e.g. ambulances being stopped at checkpoints…
