  • Increasing detection of individuals with tuberculosis through engagement of informal health care providers in Northeastern Nigeria

    Open AccessSimeon John, Stephen John et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2026

    Patent and proprietary medicine vendors (PPMVs) and traditional healers (THs) are informal healthcare providers with a significant presence in Nigeria and many parts of Africa. They have established partnerships and trust with community stakeholders and are often the first point of contact for health-seeking, especially in rural communities. Disease programs like malaria have engaged PPMVs, but documentation on efforts to engage these informal pr…

  • Making it on the breadline – improving food security on the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara Lands, Central Australia

    Open AccessAmanda J Lee, Amanda Lee et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2024

    This co-designed study demonstrates the effectiveness of community-led approaches, confirming that it is possible to improve food security and diet in remote Aboriginal communities. However, sustained action and monitoring, dedicated resources and employment of local people are critical for success. Results also highlight that low incomes are a major barrier to food security

  • Decision-making regarding adjustments for students with special educational needs in mainstream classrooms

    Mark Carter, Amanda Webster et al.ARTICLEResearch Papers in Education2022Citada por: 1Referencias: 46

    The aim of the current study was to examine how decisions are made and who is involved in decision-making regarding provision of adjustments for students with special educational needs in Australian mainstream schools. A total of 107 stakeholders were interviewed across 22 schools. Participation in decision-making varied, with students the least likely to be involved. There was variation in the degree and nature of collaboration and the degree to…

  • Modelling trend life cycles in scientific research using the Logistic and Gompertz equations

    Open AccessE Tattershall, Goran Nenadic et al.ARTICLEScientometrics2021

    Scientific topics vary in popularity over time. In this paper, we model the life cycles of 200 trending topics by fitting the Logistic and Gompertz models to their frequency over time in published abstracts. Unlike other work, the topics we use are algorithmically extracted from large datasets of abstracts covering computer science, particle physics, cancer research, and mental health. We find that the Gompertz model produces lower median error, …

  • Finding the missing millions

    Open AccessTripti Pande, Nathaly Aguilera Vasquez et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2020

    box In 2019, 10.0 million people developed tuberculosis (TB) yet 2.9 million were not notified to National TB programmes (NTPs).1 This is largely due to limited accessibility to healthcare services, underdeveloped health reporting systems, insufficient human resources and poor linkages between private providers and national authorities.2 There are various global initiatives to address this challenge, including the Find.Treat.All #EndTB initiative…

  • Health-related quality of life after traumatic brain injury

    Open AccessDaphne Voormolen, Suzanne Polinder et al.ARTICLEQuality of Life Research2020

    By transforming the QOLIBRI-OS into utility scores, we enabled the application in economic evaluations and in summary measures of population health, which may be used to inform decision-makers on the best interventions and strategies for TBI patients

  • The Preconditions to Flourishing

    Harshi Gunawardena, Siobhan Merlo et al.ARTICLEBritish Journal of Educational…2020Citada por: 1Referencias: 23

    There is warranted concern among educationalists about child well-being where a number of school factors have created a system and a society where well-being is at stake. Within this discourse, understanding the impact of social and emotional learning and school-based well-being programs have seen educationalists return to Aristotle to understand the foundational conception of flourishing. Following this trend, we propose that before flourishing …

  • Connection to the Natural Environment and Well-Being in Middle Childhood

    Open AccessTyson Whitten, Robert Stevens et al.ARTICLEEcopsychology2018

    Though the positive association between a connection to the natural environment and well-being is well established, few studies have examined this association in children, and none have explored whether this relationship remains when accounting for other factors that affect well-being, such as social supports, attention, and empathic skills. The current study aims to address this gap. Data are drawn from the New South Wales Child Development Stud…

  • Assessing the Cognitive Demands of a Century of Reading Curricula

    Open AccessRobert Stevens, Robert J Stevens et al.ARTICLEAmerican Educational Research…2015Citada por: 1Referencias: 29

    This research investigated the cognitive demands of reading curricula from 1910 to 2000. We considered both the nature of the text used and the comprehension tasks asked of students in determining the cognitive demands of the curricula. Contrary to the common assumption of a trend of simplification of the texts and comprehension tasks in third- and sixth-grade curricula, the results indicate that curricular complexity declined early in the centur…

  • Making Graph-Based Diagrams Work in Sound

    Andy Brown, Robert Stevens et al.ARTICLEHuman-Computer Interaction2013

    Nonlinear forms of diagrammatic presentation, such as node-arc graphs, are a powerful and elegant means of visual information presentation. Although providing nonvisual access is now routine for many forms of linear information, it becomes more difficult as the structure of the information becomes increasingly nonlinear. An understanding of the ways in which graphs benefit sighted people, based on experiments and the literature, together with the…

  • The Promise and Challenge of Global Network Governance

    Christopher Ansell, Chris Ansell et al.ARTICLEGlobal Governance A Review of…2012Citada por: 1

    Networks are often heralded as a promising strategy of global governance. This article examines the challenges encountered in managing one relatively successful network—the Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network (GOARN). Over the past decade, this international network of public and private institutions has played a major role in organizing the global response to infectious disease outbreaks around the world. Despite its successes, GOARN conf…

  • Trends in Americans’ food-related time use

    Open AccessCathleen D Zick, Robert Stevens et al.ARTICLEPublic Health Nutrition2010

    Objective To describe how the time spent in food-related activities by Americans has changed over the past 30 years. Design Data from four national time diary surveys, spanning 1975–2006, are used to construct estimates of trends in American adults’ time spent in food-related activities. Multivariate Tobits assess how food-related activities have changed over time controlling for sociodemographic and economic covariates. Results Both bivariate an…

  • Access to Mathematics for Visually Disabled Students Through Multimodal Interaction

    Robert Stevens, A D Edwards et al.ARTICLEHuman-Computer Interaction1997

    Mathematics relies on visual forms of communication and is thus largely inaccessible to people who cannot communicate in this manner because of visual disabilities. This article outlines the Mathtalk project, which addressed this problem by using computers to produce multimodal renderings of mathematical information. This example is unusual in that it is essential to use multiple modalities because of the nature and the difficulty of the applicat…

  • Analogy or Homology? An Investigation of the Congruency of Systems Theory and Biblical Theology in Pastoral Leadership

    Open AccessRobert Stevens, R Paul StevensARTICLEJournal of Psychology and Theology1994

    Pastoral interventions have generally assumed a linear, cause-effect approach. General systems theory and family systems theory (Bowen Theory) provide a more sophisticated approach to the complexities of working with the congregation as a living system. This article explores the crucial question of biblical congruency by examining the biblical witness to the church as the family of God, the body of Christ, and the covenant community. In the conte…
