Proposing grounded theory as a method to facilitate and extend reflective practice
For academics in higher education engaging in reflection-on-action is presumed to facilitate development and progression. However, some may struggle with how to engage in the process of personal reflection. We propose that grounded theory has many similarities to, and enablers for, personal reflection. Grounded theory, specifically constructivist grounded theory (CGT) has the capacity and potential to be employed as a process for teaching academi…
Exploring barriers to social inclusion for disabled people
Although the potential of arts to promote social inclusion is recognised, barriers to social inclusion for disabled people in the arts is under-researched. Based on 34 semi-structured interviews with disabled people and those without disability from four arts organisations in Australia, the paper identifies barriers for social inclusion for disabled people within performing arts across four dimensions: access; participation; representation and em…
The Experiences of Persistent Pain Among Women With a History of Intimate Partner Violence
Women experience persistent pain at higher rates than men; however, women are less likely to be provided with adequate or appropriate care and more likely to have their pain experiences dismissed. The purpose of this review is to consider the complex interaction of the biopsychosocial factors in the experience of persistent pain in order to inform improved models of care. Given persistent pain is among the most frequently reported health conseque…
Neo-villeiny and the service sector
This article presents data from a comprehensive study of hyper flexible and precarious work in the service sector. A series of interviews were conducted with self-employed personal trainers along with more than 200 hours of participant observation within fitness centres in the UK. Analysis of the data reveals a new form of hyper flexible and precarious work that is labelled neo-villeiny in this article. Neo-villeiny is characterized by four featu…
Relationship of autonomy social support to quitting motivation in diverse smokers
Support from family and friends may promote autonomous reasons to quit among diverse smokers. Research is needed to assess the role of social support in the pre-quitting phases among racial and socio-economically diverse populations
A cross sectional study of animal and human colonization with Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in an Aboriginal community
Human MRSA colonization in this community is very common, and a single clone is predominant, suggesting local transmission. Antibiotic use is also very common. Crowding may partially explain high colonization, but most considered risk factors including animal exposure were not predictive. Very few dogs carried human Staphylococcal strains
Micro-political game playing in Lidl
This article examines how the rules of micro-political game playing, based on the global standardization and cost leadership approach of a European ‘hard discounter’, are interpreted in practice in Finland, Germany, Ireland, Spain and the UK. We find that small store size, together with centralized authority relations and power structures, make it difficult for actors to engage effectively in coalition-building and political strategies to influen…
Negotiating the normative
This study explores how mothers who care for a disabled child negotiate the social exclusion they experience. It utilizes constraint theory and explores the strategies mothers used to negotiate constraints. Whilst not all constraints were negotiated, it was apparent that mothers of a disabled child did manage to negotiate a range of constraints they faced, and that their negotiations were akin to those identified in the constraint negotiation lit…
Working out
In this article, we identify the importance of aesthetic labour to the self-employed fitness industry personal trainer (PT), detailing the ways in which the PT trades on their own physical capital. We examine how these discussions relate to the aesthetic and material dimensions of body work (that is to say, enacted on and through bodies) and the ways in which affective labour, inherent to this type of service work, intersects or delimits physical…
Regarding the Aftermaths of Lynching
Dinah Kirkland was neither a lynching victim nor a famous antilynching crusader-two factors that would most likely grant her a place in the stories that lynching scholars typically tell.Although she may have led a full life beyond her appearance in archival materials, when I encountered her she was an African American mother on a mission.In 1937 her eighteen-yearold son Edward Kirkland went missing following an arrest in Ocala, Florida.Dinah wrot…
A Randomized Controlled Trial Examining the Efficacy of Motivational Counseling with Observed Therapy for Antiretroviral Therapy Adherence
This study determined whether motivational interviewing-based cognitive behavioral therapy (MI-CBT) adherence counseling combined with modified directly observed therapy (MI-CBT/mDOT) is more effective than MI-CBT counseling alone or standard care (SC) in increasing adherence over time. A three-armed randomized controlled 48-week trial with continuous electronic drug monitored adherence was conducted by randomly assigning 204 HIV-positive partici…

Do Coping Styles Mediate the Relationship Between Substance Use and Educational Attainment and Antiretroviral Adherence
Roberta Villalón
Shaking and Rattling
This article describes the creation of a faith-based, community action research intervention aimed at reducing childhood obesity among a vulnerable population. Of particular concern to the community was the prevalence of obesity among its minority children. Engaging parents in a childhood obesity initiative through faith-based organizations (churches, community organizations with a common religious focus) was a method to provide a research interv…
Walk Together Children With No Wasted Steps
Background: Community-based participatory research (CBPR) approaches equitably involve community members and researchers throughout the research process. A developing literature examines problems in CBPR partnerships, but less is written about community groups using CBPR to access university resources to address community-prioritized health concerns
Autonomous Regulation and Locus of Control as Predictors of Antiretroviral Medication Adherence
The purpose of the current study was to examine the interrelationships between autonomous regulation (AR) and locus of control (LOC) and their prediction of Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) adherence among 189 HIV+ patients. Path analyses revealed that neither AR nor LOC directly predicted adherence although AR was indirectly related when mediated by self-efficacy. AR was positively related to internal and doctors LOC, but not related to chance or ot…
The challenge and meaning of justice in northern Uganda
Even though the peace talks in northern Uganda have faltered, attempts at negotiations between the Ugandan government and the rebel Lord's Resistance Army are continuing. The current rapprochement between the two sides is the most significant move towards peace in the twenty-year civil war in northern Uganda. Even though the war has been extreme in its brutality, it is little known of outside the region—with reports on the conflict often portrayi…
Change Management in MNCs
This article presents case studies of three of the four global players in the lifts and escalator industry (controlling three-quarters of the respective world market). It is based on chiefly qualitative data from headquarters level (based in the US, Finland and Germany) and comparative data from their British and German subsidiaries. The object of the research is change management processes in the work systems at subsidiary level. The central res…
