Uncontested ideas and real-world consequences: Using a meta-critical post-progressive method to deconstruct the claims of activist therapy
Les modes de gestion dans les groupes féministes et leur offre en rétributions: Le point de vue des militantes en Abitibi-Témiscamingue
La relation entre la gestion féministe et le militantisme a peu été explorée dans les études scientifiques depuis l’arrivée des groupes féministes au Québec. Les résultats d’une recherche qualitative ayant abordé cette relation sous l’angle des rétributions offertes par les groupes féministes de l’Abitibi-Témiscamingue selon leur modèle de gestion ont permis de mettre en lumière le point de vue de militantes sur ces modes de gestion féministes et…
Adaptation and content validation of measure yourself medical outcomes profile (Mymop) for 7–11 year-old children
The P-MYMOP is the first content-validated generic individualised HRQOL measure for children 7-11 years old. Given that validation is an iterative process, further research to assess its feasibility, reliability, and construct validity is required
Emergency department use and geospatial variation in social determinants of health: A pilot study from South Carolina
Notable spatial variation was found in the relationships between screening positive for unhealthy home environments or domestic violence/abuse and emergency department use. Despite the limitation of a relatively small sample size, sensitivity analyses suggest spatially varying relationships between other SDoH-related needs and emergency department use
Understanding the Role of a Technology and EMR-based Social Determinants of Health Screening Tool and Community-based Resource Connections in Health Care Resource Utilization
BACKGROUND: Health systems are increasingly investing in social determinants of health (SDoH), but there is limited research on how such efforts impact health care resource use. This study presents pilot work on an SDoH screening and referral platform recently implemented in South Carolina's largest private nonprofit health system. OBJECTIVES: To assess the feasibility and sustainability of SDoH screening and SDoH-related referrals in a large hea…
Questioning the ethics of evidence-based practice for Indigenous health and social settings in Australia
Australian government planning promotes evidence-based action as the overarching goal to achieving health equality for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander populations. However, an inequitable distribution of power and resources in the conduct of evidence-based practice produces a policy environment counterintuitive to this goal. This context of contemporary evidence-based practice gives legitimacy to ‘expert practitioners’ located in Australian…
The Comedians of the King: “Opéra Comique” and the Bourbon Monarchy on the Eve of Revolution , by Julia Doe
The American observer is often bemused by the importance, and the budget, that the French state attributes to culture. On this side of the Atlantic, where the White House attempted to zero out the modest budgets of the National Endowment for the Humanities and the National Endowment for the Arts for 2021, a cabinet-level culture appointment is unthinkable.The strong bond between French identity and culture today harks back, mutatis mutandis, to t…
Understanding the Psychological Well-Being of International Arrivals in a Purpose-Designed Australian Covid-19 Quarantine Facility
Equivocal evidence suggests that mandatory supervised quarantine can negatively affect psychological well-being in some settings. It was unclear if COVID-19 supervised quarantine was associated with psychological distress in Australia. The sociodemographic characteristics associated with distress and the lived experiences of quarantine are also poorly understood. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the mental well-being of international arriv…
The Sounds of Siam
A series of diplomatic contacts between France and Siam was initiated in the 1660s primarily through missionary efforts and the expansion of France's global trade network. These diplomatic drives and their historical significance have been described by previous commentators in relation to Louis XIV's global ambitions and his efforts at royal image building. An aspect of these exchanges that has attracted relatively little commentary is the attent…
Smoking behaviours and other substance use among Indigenous and non‐Indigenous Australian secondary students, 2017
Impact of three annual tobacco tax rises on tobacco sales in remote Australian Aboriginal community stores
For the first time, we demonstrated evidence of price-sensitivity and the immediate impact of price rises from tobacco tax rises on tobacco sales in remote Aboriginal communities. We acknowledge that Australia already has very high tobacco taxation and prices, but recommend further increases to the taxation of roll-your-own (RYO) tobacco to prevent smokers and industry using cheaper RYO cigarettes to undermine this impact of high tobacco taxes an…
Social media and health information sharing among Australian Indigenous people
Despite the enormous potential of social media for health promotion, there is an inadequate evidence base for how they can be used effectively to influence behaviour. In Australia, research suggests social media use is higher among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people than the general Australian population; however, health promoters need a better understanding of who uses technologies, how and why. This qualitative study investigates what…
Do the Yolŋu people of East Arnhem Land experience smoking related stigma associated with local and regional tobacco control strategies: An Indigenous qualitative study from Australia
In remote Aboriginal communities in East Arnhem Land, Northern Territory of Australia, the Yolŋu people, traditional owners of this remote and isolated region, have a long tradition of ŋarali' [tobacco] use, which is commemorated within funeral ceremony, as manikay [songlines] and buŋgul [dancing]. Today, smoking is very prevalent and a highly normalised social activity among Yolŋu. There are concerns that tobacco control activities aiming to den…
Using Facebook to reduce smoking among Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people: A participatory grounded action study
When designing tobacco control messages to be shared on social media, health promoters should take into account how information will align with positive self-image and can contribute to social capital among the intended audience, and generate interpersonal engagement. Content should complement, rather than attempt to replicate, some message features that are effective on traditional broadcast media. This study shows the potential for health servi…
Policy options for endgame planning in tobacco control: A simulation modelling study
These results suggest that any prudent approach to endgame planning should seek to build on rather than replace existing tobacco control measures that have proved effective to date. Additional interventions that can promote cessation are expected to be more successful in reducing smoking prevalence than interventions focussing exclusively on preventing initiation
Critical pedagogy and Socially Responsible Investing (SRI): Questioning our post-secondary institutions’ investment strategies
This article explores the use of critical pedagogy in addressing the important issue of Socially Responsible Investing (SRI) in the postsecondary context. I argue that tools of critical pedagogy – in this case student-centred learning and sharing power in the classroom – provide a productive avenue for post-secondary students to engage with SRI. In addition, analysing current debates and trends in SRI offers an excellent opportunity to encourage …
Starting to smoke: A qualitative study of the experiences of Australian indigenous youth
Future initiatives aimed at preventing smoking uptake in this population need to focus on changing social normative beliefs around smoking, both at a population level and within young peoples' immediate social environment. Such interventions could be effectively delivered in both the school and family environments. Specifically, health practitioners in contact with Indigenous families should be promoting smoke free homes and other anti-smoking so…
Wholesale data for surveillance of Australian Aboriginal tobacco consumption in the Northern Territory
Monitoring tobacco consumption using wholesale tobacco data is a practical and unobtrusive surveillance method that is being introduced as a new condition of tobacco retail licenses in the Northern Territory of Australia. It overcomes some problems with consumption estimates from routine surveys, enables rapid feedback and use of results and is particularly well suited for hard-to-reach discrete populations, such as remote Aboriginal communities …
The study protocol for a randomized controlled trial of a family-centred tobacco control program about environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) to reduce respiratory illness in Indigenous infants
Interventions aimed at reducing exposure of Indigenous children to ETS have the potential for significant benefits for Indigenous communities. There is currently a dearth of evidence for the effect of tobacco control interventions to reduce children's exposure to ETS among Indigenous populations. This study will provide high-quality evidence of the efficacy of a family-centred tobacco control program on ETS to reduce respiratory illness. Outcomes…
Smoking prevalence trends in Indigenous Australians, 1994-2004: A typical rather than an exceptional epidemic
In Australia, national smoking prevalence has successfully fallen below 20%, but remains about 50% amongst Indigenous Australians. Australian Indigenous tobacco control is framed by the idea that nothing has worked and a sense of either despondency or the difficulty of the challenge. This paper examines the trends in smoking prevalence of Australian Indigenous men and women aged 18 and over in three large national cross-sectional surveys in 1994,…
A Randomized Intervention Trial to Reduce the Lending of Used Injection Equipment Among Injection Drug Users Infected With Hepatitis C
Objectives. We evaluated the efficacy of a peer-mentoring behavioral intervention designed to reduce risky distributive injection practices (e.g., syringe lending, unsafe drug preparation) among injection drug users with hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Methods. A randomized trial with a time-equivalent attention-control group was conducted among 418 HCV-positive injection drug users aged 18 to 35 years in 3 US cities. Participants reported the…
Smoking behaviours in a remote Australian Indigenous community: The influence of family and other factors
Negotiating Taste in Montesquieu
Montesquieu's unfinished essay on taste, often considered weak and superficial, has been neglected by scholars. This article aims to provide a better understanding of the essay, published in incomplete form in the Encyclopédie after Montesquieu's death in 1755, by suggesting connections between his writings on aesthetics and his much more voluminous publications on politics and society. The article examines how Montesquieu sought to negotiate the…

The negotiated economy: State and civic institutions in Denmark
As the tide of opinion turns against neo-liberal forms of economic goverance on grounds of both efficiency and equity, academic and policy interest is returning to more interventionist alternatives. Interrestingly, however, the interest appears not to lie with a blind return to old and familiar statist forms of intervention, but with a ‘third way’ beyond market and plan, involving the democratization and decentralization of decision making, the p…

Kilise Tepe 1994
The Göksu valley (Fig. 1), which furnishes one of the two main routes from Turkey's southern shore through the Taurus to the Konya plain and the rest of the central plateau, must be deemed one of the country's national treasures. The clear turquoise ribbon of the river threads its way south-eastwards from high in the mountains west of Ermenek to reach the Mediterranean at Silifke, or rather at the mouth of the delta it has created to the south of…

Success in Circuit Lies: Diderot's Communicational Practice
As contemporary thinkers continue to explore the intellectual affinities that bind the eighteenth and twentieth centuries, their attention has turned with increasing frequency to Diderot. Focusing on models of communication, this book draws on an interdisciplinary configuration - a conjunction of communication theory, philosophy of science, and literary theory - to analyze texts from Diderot's own interdisciplinary corpus. Of particular pertinenc…
"Economy and Identity in Graffigny's "Lettres d'une Peruvienne
Ah! ah! Monsieur est Persan? c'est une chose bien extraordinaire! Comment peut-on Otre Persan?' At the close of letter 30 of the Lettres persanes, Rica faces a question about his identity. No longer in his native dress, Rica is surrounded by a group of Parisians who have discovered that he is indeed Persian despite his new European clothing. It is in this way that Montesquieu stages a confrontation between a crowd of curious Parisians and Rica, w…

Music and the Origins of Language: Theories from the French Enlightenment
The search for the origins of language was one of the most pressing philosophical issues of the eighteenth century. What has often escaped notice, however, is the fact that music figures prominently in this search. This study analyses instances of thinking or reasoning about music and music theory as they appear within the logical and narrative structure of contemporary texts, including writings by Rousseau, Diderot, Rameau and Condillac. These c…

Opera, Dispossession, and the Sublime: The Case of Armide
Opera, Dispossession, and the Sublime: The Case of Armide Downing A. Thomas (bio) “La scène invisible hante” —Pascal Quignard 1 Opera was new to late-seventeenth-century France, at once an object of fascination and revulsion. Beginning in 1672, Philippe Quinault and Jean-Baptiste Lully (né Giovanni Battista Lulli) created the first French operas as tragédies en musique. Spectators were seduced; theorists were skeptical. What was one to do with a …

Double Dialectics: Between Universalism and Relativism in Enlightenment and Postmodern Thought
"The Enlightenment" and "Enlightenment thought" are weighty terms. In the past twenty years or so, they have taken on connotations nearly diametrically opposed to those they enjoyed in previous decades. For scholars such as Ernst Cassirer and Peter Gay, the Enlightenment was a moral highpoint in the development of critical reason, seen as an arm that could be used to combat superstition of all stripes. For Cassirer, Gay, and a generation of liter…
