Do 20-minute neighbourhoods moderate associations between work and commute hours with food consumption
Objective: To examine associations between work and commute hours with food consumption and test whether neighbourhood type (20-minute neighbourhood (20MN)/non-20MN) moderate associations. Design: Cross-sectional analysis of the Places and Locations for Activity and Nutrition study (ProjectPLAN). Exposures were work hours (not working (0 h), working up to full-time (1–38 h/week), working overtime (> 38 h/week)), and among those employed, combined…
Cross-sectional associations between work and commute hours with frequency and location of food outlet visits: The moderating role of 20-minute neighbourhoods
The 20-minute neighbourhood (20MN) concept seeks to promote healthy and local living through the provision of everyday amenities and services close to home. This study explored if 20MNs benefit workers with long work-related time demands who may have less time to interact with their local neighbourhood. It assessed associations between work and commute hours with frequency and location of food outlet visits, and tested whether neighbourhood type …
Mothers as advocates for healthier lifestyle behaviour environments for their children: Results from Infant 3.5-year follow-up

Educational differences in diabetes and diabetes self-management behaviours in WHO Sage countries
Associations between education and diabetes, and behavioural self-management (India only) was more evident in the two least developed (Ghana and India) of the WHO SAGE countries, indicating increasing diabetes diagnosis with greater numbers of years of education. The lack of gradients elsewhere may reflect shifting risk from higher to lower educated populations. While there was some suggestion that self-management behaviours were greater with inc…

Inconvenient friendship: How successful cocaine dealers manage social obligations
Based on life history interviews with successfully retired drug dealers, this article examines opportunities and challenges in the suburban underground economy. "Friendship" is key. Suburban drug dealing occurs exclusively through networks of friends, kin, and the acquaintances thereof. Friends are functionally necessary for the suburban illegal drug business but also economically inconvenient in that they require sharing drugs, spending time, "h…

A qualitative study of the drivers of socioeconomic inequalities in men’s eating behaviours
This study identified key similarities and differences in perceived influences on eating behaviours among men with lower and higher education levels. Further research is needed to determine the extent to which such influences explain socioeconomic variations in men's dietary intakes, and to identify feasible strategies that might support healthy eating among men in different socioeconomic groups

Associations between the physical activity levels of fathers and their children at 20 months, 3.5 and five years of age
There were no clear associations between the physical activity of fathers and children. Future research should include the use of more robust measures of physical activity among fathers to allow in-depth assessment of their physical activity behaviours. Investigation of well-defined correlates of physical activity in young children is warranted to confirm these findings and further progress research in this field
Proportion of infants meeting the Australian 24-hour Movement Guidelines for the Early Years: Data from the Melbourne InFant Program
Very few infants met all of the guidelines contained in the new Australian 24-hour Movement Guidelines suggesting there is much room for improvement in movement behaviours from early life. Fewer infants met the tummy time and screen time guidelines hence these appear to be the behaviours requiring most attention. Parents and others providing care to infants require support and strategies to assist them in adhering to the guidelines to ensure opti…

Morocco's invisible Imazighen
This paper asserts that Morocco's Imazighen (Berbers) are often ignored in current academic literature. When they are not ignored Berbers tend to be presented in historical or apolitical terms. This situation is in striking contrast to the French colonial fascination with Berbers, which was often expressly political; it is also at odds with contemporary Amazigh (Berber) activist contentions about the relevance of Berber identity politics. This pa…
Does modifying the household food budget predict changes in the healthfulness of purchasing choices among low- and high-income women
Food cost has a strong influence on food purchases and given that persons of low income often have more limited budgets, healthier foods may be overlooked in favour of more energy-dense lower-cost options. The aim of this study was to investigate whether modifications to the available household food budget led to changes in the healthfulness of food purchasing choices among women of low and high income. A quasi-experimental design was used which …

The Jesuit Relations and Allied Documents, Early Sources for an Ethnography of Music among American Indians
n the early seventeenth century New World settlers developed colonies along the eastern coastline, preferring the safety of islands and bays to the unknown perils inland. Much of the penetration westward was left to adventurous traders and missionaries, both seeking friendly relations with the Indians. Most of the Jesuit missionaries, trusting their fate to the wilds of New France, embarked from headquarters along the St. Lawrence River. The miss…

Police opinions of a proposal for controlled availability of heroin in Australia
Police attitudes have rarely been studied as part of law‐ or policy‐making, particularly in drug policy. We examined why the majority of a sample of Canberra‐based police were opposed to a proposal for a trial of controlled availability of heroin. Many police had negative attitudes towards heroin users with a sense that a trial was ‘giving in’ to them and that funds should be spent on more ‘deserving’ groups. Policing against illegal drugs was no…

Arranging the bones: Culture, time, and in/equality in Berber labor organization
This paper examines the organization of collective labor for irrigation canal maintenance in a High Atlas village, an organization that compensates for the fluctuation of available labor over the domestic cycle of individual households. Such labor transactions between households are accomplished by employing several different, and seemingly incompatible, cultural logics: a tradition of division by five, an emphasis on the importance of agnatic ki…
