Enhancing collaborative international partnerships in healthcare – a systematic review of insights, challenges, and pathways to sustainability
The global health burden in developing countries remains a pressing concern, exacerbated by a complex interplay of socioeconomic, environmental, and healthcare system factors. International partnerships have emerged as pivotal mechanisms to alleviate the burden, drawing upon the expertise and resources of governments, non-government organizations, and institutions. This systematic review of the literature focused on frameworks and models guiding …
Leukapheresis in Pediatric Acute Leukemia with Hyperleukocytosis: A Single-Center Experience
Hyperleukocytosis in pediatric acute leukemia is associated with increased morbidity and mortality and at present there is no consensus on the use of leukapheresis (LPH) for its management. Our aim was to review characteristics and outcomes of newly diagnosed leukemia patients with hyperleukocytosis (HL) comparing those who received LPH and those who did not. An IRB approved retrospective case control study reviewed data from a single institution…

Enabling leadership capacity for higher education scholarship in learning and teaching (Sotl) through action research
Action research (AR) offers an ideological fit with the culture and the work of the academy - they share a culture of collegiality, evidence- and theory-based practice, and a focus on reflection and evaluation to inform change and innovation. An AR approach and methodology are also integral to the development of leadership capacity for learning and teaching. This paper focuses on a distributed leadership approach for the Scholarship of Teaching a…
Reducing Amputations in People with Diabetes (Rapid): Evaluation of a New Care Pathway
People with diabetes are at increased risk of foot ulcers, which, if left untreated, can lead to infection, gangrene, and subsequent amputation. Management by a multidisciplinary diabetes foot team has been shown to reduce amputation rates; however, accessing specialist treatment is made particularly difficult when living in remote and rural locations, such as many individuals cared for within NHS Highland. The RAPID project was made up of two ph…

Demonstrating the impact of a distributed leadership approach in higher education
Higher education is under pressure to advance from a singular focus on assessment of outputs (measurements) to encompass the impact (influence) of initiatives across all aspects of academic endeavour (research, learning and teaching, and leadership). This paper focuses on the implications of this shift for leadership in higher education. Demonstrating the impact of leadership in higher education requires taking a step beyond measuring the skills,…
A distributed leadership change process model for higher education
The higher education sector operates in an increasingly complex global environment that is placing it under considerable stress and resulting in widespread change to the operating context and leadership of higher education institutions. The outcome has been the increased likelihood of conflict between academics and senior leaders, presaging the need for more engaged and broader approach to leadership. Based on empirical research into the Australi…
Distributed leadership: A critical analysis
Changes to the governance and management of institutions of higher education (often described as ‘new managerialism’) and the effects this is having on the work of academics have been the subject of much discourse over the last 30 years in the pursuit of a globally appropriate model for higher education. Less attention has been afforded to discussion of new forms of institutional leadership needed to effectively respond to the associated challeng…
A conceptual approach for blended leadership for tertiary education institutions
Over the last 20 years, the tertiary education sector has adopted new administrative management approaches, with the aim of improving accountable and strategic focus. Over the same period, the question of how to build leadership capacity to improve learning and teaching and research outcomes has led to discussion on what constitutes academic leadership. While both these advances are needed, what is missing is integration between the two such that…
The work of leadership in higher education management
This special issue foregrounds shifts in leadership theory and practice for higher education managers that acknowledges a move beyond focus just on ‘the leader’ as control agent, to ‘leading’ which
Grief, Loss, and Treatment for Death Row Families: Forgotten No More
The families of death row inmates are rarely considered in public discourse regarding the death penalty. They have largely been forgotten, and their pain has not been acknowledged by the rest of society. These families experience a unique grief process as they are confronted with the loss of their loved one to death row and brace themselves for the possibility of an execution. Death row families are disenfranchised from their grief by the surroun…
Patterns of condom use among students at historically Black colleges and universities: Implications for HIV prevention efforts among college-age young adults
Over 1.1 million Americans are living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and African-American youth and young adults are disproportionately affected. Condoms are the most effective prevention tool, yet data regarding condom use patterns for African-American college youth are lacking. To inform and strengthen HIV prevention strategies with African-American college-age youth, we surveyed students attending 24 historically Black colleges and u…
Eat, drink and gamble: Marketing messages about ‘risky’ products in an Australian major sporting series
Sport is increasingly used as a vehicle for the promotion of range of 'risky consumption' products. This study raises important ethical and health policy questions about the extent and impact of saturation and incidental marketing strategies on health and wellbeing, the transparency of embedded marketing strategies, and how these strategies may influence product consumption
Distributed leadership: A Collaborative Framework for Academics, Executives and Professionals in Higher Education
New models of leadership are needed for the higher education sector to continue to graduate students with leading edge capabilities. While multiple theories of leadership exist, the higher education sector requires a less hierarchical approach that takes account of its specialised and professional context. Over the last decade the sector has explored new leadership approaches based on public and private sector models accompanied by an increase in…

The 2003 Australian Breast Health Survey: Survey design and preliminary results
The NBCC Breast Health Surveys provide a valuable picture of the knowledge of Australian women about a range of issues. The present analysis shows significant gains in knowledge and behaviours relating to mammographic screening, while identifying additional areas for targeted improvement, as in the need to better communicate with women about screening and diagnostic services. Further analysis of additional core topic areas (eg., incidence, mortal…
Gross for kids but good for parents: Differing messages in advertisements for the same products
Objectives There has been surprisingly little research into the effects of food advertising on parents’ perception of commonly consumed children’s food items, although the available research suggests that parents may find nutritional claims in these advertisements confusing. The purpose of the present study was to investigate parents’ perceptions of branded snack foods targeted at children, and the extent to which these perceptions are influenced…
Choice autonomy and memory for spatial locations in six‐year‐old children
Six‐year‐old children were presented with 12 identically labelled locations in a room and required to search non‐redundantly for the six that contained rewards. On each day they could commit Across‐Trial Memory (ATM) errors by visiting non‐rewarded locations, or Within‐Trial Memory (WTM) errors by revisiting locations previously visited that day. Groups were trained for nine days, either walking or pushed in a wheelchair, and with or without free…
Law and Order and the Causes of Crime: Some Police and Public Perspectives
The degree of congruence among the public and between ‘police’ and ‘public’ in attitudes to law and order has been a matter of considerable debate in England and Wales. This article presents some previously unpublished survey data in the context of a general review of research on this topic, and goes on to discuss police and public views about crime causation as a reflection of ideological ‘domain assumptions’ about the nature of offending. It co…
Ethnic Preference of College Students for Their Own and Other Racial Groups
Ethnic preferences of black and white college students were measured using subjects' ratings of employment applications of either Afro-Americans, Asian-Americans, or Whites. Participants rated the “applicants” on items falling into three broad dimensions: inferred traits possessed by the applicant ( e.g., intelligence ), personal liking for the applicant, and heterosexual attraction to the applicant. The data revealed that whites preferred white …
