A theoretical framework for the use of music therapy in the treatment of selective mutism in young children: Multiple case study research
Introduction Selective mutism (SM) is an anxiety disorder that affects some children when they begin school. If left untreated the long-term impact can include complex, debilitating mental health conditions. The usual presentation is lack of speech in the education setting, contrasting with confident speech at home. Prevalence is estimated at 0.7% but can be three times higher for children who are immigrant second language learners. There is some…
Temporal and Spatiotemporal Arboviruses Forecasting by Machine Learning: A Systematic Review
Arboviruses are a group of diseases that are transmitted by an arthropod vector. Since they are part of the Neglected Tropical Diseases that pose several public health challenges for countries around the world. The arboviruses' dynamics are governed by a combination of climatic, environmental, and human mobility factors. Arboviruses prediction models can be a support tool for decision-making by public health agents. In this study, we propose a sy…
HBM4EU Diisocyanates Study—Research Protocol for a Collaborative European Human Biological Monitoring Study on Occupational Exposure
Diisocyanates have long been a leading cause of occupational asthma in Europe, and recently, they have been subjected to a restriction under the REACH regulations. As part of the European Human Biomonitoring project (HBM4EU), we present a study protocol designed to assess occupational exposure to diisocyanates in five European countries. The objectives of the study are to assess exposure in a number of sectors that have not been widely reported o…
HBM4EU Chromates Study: Determinants of Exposure to Hexavalent Chromium in Plating, Welding and Other Occupational Settings
Work-related exposures in industrial processing of chromate (chrome plating, surface treatment and welding) raise concern regarding the health risk of hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)). In this study, performed under the HBM4EU project, we focused on better understanding the determinants of exposure and recognising how risk management measures (RMMs) contribute to a reduction in exposure. HBM and occupational hygiene data were collected from 399 worke…

This paper also covers some matters that are hard to change or uncertain, such as housing shortages and financial constraints. The paper focuses on a case study of the East Sussex Temporary Accommod…
Voice-Activated Virtual Home Assistant Use and Social Isolation and Loneliness Among Older Adults: Mini Review
A lack of social connectedness is common among older adults due to living alone, loss of loved ones, reduced mobility, and, more recently, social distancing created by the global Covid-19 pandemic. Older adults are vulnerable to social isolation and loneliness, which pose significant health risks comparable to those of smoking, obesity, physical inactivity, and high blood pressure. A lack of social connectedness is also correlated with higher mor…

"How intense is this silence?" A multiple method study investigating music therapy for young children with selective mutism
Background: Selective mutism (SM) is a debilitating anxiety disorder that can affect children when they begin school or nursery. The usual presentation is a persistent lack of speech in the education setting, contrasting with confident speech at home. The long-term impact of the disorder, if untreated, can be severe. There is some evidence to suggest music therapy is helpful but clearer understanding of the therapeutic process is needed.Methods: …
The Cerberus from Warringah: F.A. Bland and the Renaissance of the Public Accounts Committee
In 1932 the Lyons UAP government suspended the operations of the Commonwealth parliament's public accounts committee, allegedly as an economy measure. The role of public accounts committees is, in principle, that of a non‐partisan reviewer of the public finances, but in this case the committee had diverged from its charter and become involved in politics and policy. Twenty years later, the Menzies government resurrected the committee. A crucial f…
Rebuilding Communities After Natural Disasters: The 2009 Bushfires in Southeastern Australia
Through nonrandom purposive sampling, this article examines the ways three Catholic agencies offered bushfire recovery assistance after the 2009 bushfires in the Australian state of Victoria. Participants from Catholic welfare agencies (29), local and state government (8), international recovery agencies (2), and others such as clergy, church, and medical (6) were selected, and senior managers, middle managers, and workers on the ground were inte…
Looking for Sustainability in Not‐for‐Profit Program Delivery: An Experiment in Providing Post‐Bushfire Recovery Programs
This article examines an experiment in delivering services and programs in communities that were affected by the 2009 Victorian bushfires. Three not‐for‐profit agencies received funding to develop and deliver programs over a period of three years with the aim of achieving sustainability for the programs thus created. They were not constrained by the requirements of normal government funding, which is short term, subject to competitive tendering a…

Professional Politicians as the Subjects of Moral Panic
The media, the public and politicians themselves often express a fear that Australian political life is increasingly dominated by 'professional politicians', who are seen as careerist, lacking in commitment and disconnected from the reality of ordinary lives. The article analyses the meanings given to the term 'professional politicians' and their relationship to other definitions and characteristics of professionalism. It also uses the concept of…
Daring and Discretion: Paying Australian Legislators
Members of Australia's Commonwealth parliament have been paid since its creation in 1901. The ‘parliamentary allowance’ had been discussed during the protracted discussions leading to Federation and was established by the Constitution, but the administrative and legislative mechanisms that governed it were left to later generations of politicians to determine. As a result, successive Australian governments and parliaments have sought a way to rem…
