Dimensions of Wairuatanga: Leadership Discernment to Support Sound Decision-Making Process
This study uses urban papakãinga (modern Mãori housing), a sustainability-focused form of housing enterprise, as a case study to determine how spirituality guides leadership and decision-making around building processes. The perspectives of Mãori (Indigenous people of Aotearoa New Zealand) housing stakeholders (leaders) involved in urban papakãinga developments were investigated, to determine dimensions of wairuatanga (nature-focused, spirit-base…
Advancing the Construct of Self-Leadership: A Bibliometric Review
Self-leadership, or an individual's efforts to influence oneself to perform, is considered a prerequisite for leading others. Informed by Reichers and Schneider's (1990) 3-stage model of construct evolution, we leverage multiple bibliometric methods to map self-leadership's introduction, evaluation, and consolidation. This paper is guided by four research questions: RQA) What theories underlie self-leadership, and how is the construct elaborated…
Effects of depression on employment and social outcomes: A Mendelian randomisation study
BACKGROUND: Depression is associated with socioeconomic disadvantage. However, whether and how depression exerts a causal effect on employment remains unclear. We used Mendelian randomisation (MR) to investigate whether depression affects employment and related outcomes in the UK Biobank dataset. METHODS: We selected 227 242 working-age participants (40-64 in men, 40-59 years for women) of white British ethnicity/ancestry with suitable genetic da…
Genome-wide meta-analysis of depression identifies 102 independent variants and highlights the importance of the prefrontal brain regions
Do social support and eating family meals together play a role in promoting resilience to bullying and cyberbullying in Scottish school children
This study investigates if cyberbullying is associated with wellbeing independently of traditional bullying and if social support and eating family meals together promotes resilience by buffering adolescents against the consequences of both types of bullying. Data for 5286 eleven, thirteen and fifteen year olds participating in the cross-sectional 2018 Scottish Health Behaviour in School-aged Children study were analysed. Adolescent self-report m…
Differences in Prenatal Tobacco Exposure Patterns among 13 Race/Ethnic Groups in California
Prenatal tobacco exposure is a significant, preventable cause of childhood morbidity, yet little is known about exposure risks for many race/ethnic subpopulations. We studied active smoking and environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) exposure in a population-based cohort of 13 racially/ethnically diverse pregnant women: white, African American, Hispanic, Native American, including nine Asian/Pacific Islander subgroups: Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Filipi…

Heaviness, health and happiness: A cross-sectional study of 163066 UK Biobank participants
BACKGROUND: Obesity is known to increase the risk of many diseases and reduce overall quality of life. This study examines the relationship with self-reported health (SRH) and happiness. METHODS: We conducted a cross-sectional study of the 163 066 UK Biobank participants who completed the happiness rating. The association between adiposity and SRH and happiness was examined using logistic regression. SRH was defined as good (excellent, good), or …
Benefiting from Aids in Contemporary Nigeria
The Nigerian weekly news magazine Tell ran a cover story in July 2004 reporting on the country’s lucrative AIDS industry, entitled “Feeding Fat on AIDS.” The article connected one of the Nigeria’s biggest health problems with one of its most significant-and certainly its most notorious-political problems: corruption. The central link between AIDS and corruption identified in the story was the proliferation of non-governmental organizations (NGOs)…
The 2006 California Heat Wave: Impacts on Hospitalizations and Emergency Department Visits
BACKGROUND: Climate models project that heat waves will increase in frequency and severity. Despite many studies of mortality from heat waves, few studies have examined morbidity. OBJECTIVES: In this study we investigated whether any age or race/ethnicity groups experienced increased hospitalizations and emergency department (ED) visits overall or for selected illnesses during the 2006 California heat wave. METHODS: We aggregated county-level hos…
Asymmetrical Mixing Patterns of Spanish and English in a New Immigrant Community
Analysis of Spanish and English speech in a new immigrant community of Latinos in Georgia, USA, shows that Spanish and English pattern differently. There is a higher frequency of Spanish sentences containing English words than English sentences containing Spanish words. But the reverse is true of grammatical influence without mixing words. There is a higher frequency of English influenced grammatically by Spanish than Spanish influenced grammatic…
Thresholds leading to shift: Spanish/English codeswitching and convergence in Georgia, U.S.A
In the speech of members of a Georgia (U.S.A.) community of immigrants from Latin America, as their bilingual sentences of Spanish/English reach a certain threshold of English content, Spanish morphosyntactic patterns begin to converge toward those of English. Data from naturally-occurring conversations by 56 children and adults of both sexes are analyzed within Myers-Scotton's (1993 [1997], 2002) Matrix Language Frame model. Eight language types…
