Unearthing Indigenous Seed Collections
Indigenous communities and scholars are calling for archaeologists and museum professionals to critically assess stewardship of Indigenous agricultural seeds and ethnobotanical collections housed in museums and other institutions and the rematriation of these important cultural items. Indigenous seeds retain cultural and religious significance along with diverse genetic information that could help revitalize Indigenous agriculture systems. Many s…
Exploring exemplarity in in-prison restorative rehabilitation to recover normativity
Exploring exemplarity in in-prison restorative rehabilitation to recover normativity The ambiguous status of a prisoner as citizen has implications for rehabilitation and reintegration. Using Mazzucato’s (2017) philosophical work on the responsive-restorative model of justice and the potential of exemplarity as a guiding theory, this article explores how prisoners can be incentivised to become fully citizens. Three concepts for action have been i…
A “Red Flag” system adds value to medical school admissions interviews
Introduction Non-cognitive traits should be considered when selecting candidates to study medicine. However, evaluating these traits remains difficult. We explored whether measuring undesirable non-cognitive behaviour (‘Red Flags’) added value to a medical school admissions system. Red Flags included rudeness, ignoring the contributions of others, disrespectful behaviour, or poor communication.Methods Following an admissions interview testing non…
Asked to be a sperm donor
Previous research has documented the various challenges people living with HIV face as they navigate intimate relationships, including what is often referred to as disclosure. In studies of gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men, the issue of telling or not telling others about an HIV-positive status has been examined primarily in relation to communication with sexual partners, with few studies focusing on other aspects of intimacy. Dr…
Repatriation as Pedagogy
Repatriation as pedagogy is a prompt for thinking through the relationships that repatriation makes possible and the transformative practices that repatriation teaches us are necessary for the future. We understand repatriation in its most expansive sense to include a process of returning Indigenous ancestors, culturally significant belongings and relations, language materials, representations of culture, data, and biological specimens. Moving be…
The case for using culturally relevant values in restorative justice programming for Australian Aboriginal prisoners
The case for using culturally relevant values in restorative justice programming for Australian Aboriginal prisoners Western Australia is experiencing high rates of recidivism among Aboriginal offenders. This challenge can be partly addressed by delivering culturally relevant programming. Its dearth, however, suggests two questions: what is culturally fit in the context of the prison, and how might such programming be constructed? This article re…
Embodied carbon of concrete in buildings, Part 2
This paper is the second output of a project that examines the embodied greenhouse gas emissions (‘embodied carbon’) from the use of concrete in buildings. In the current absence of either regulation or widespread industry practice in quantified carbon assessment, it seems likely that messaging will play a powerful role in influencing designers’ perceptions and decisions. Using the UK as a case study, this paper considers the current messages abo…
How older people living with HIV narrate their quality of life
This article draws on life-history interviews with older (aged 50+) people living with HIV in England to uncover the interpretive practices in which they engaged as they evaluated their own quality of life (QoL). Our paper highlights the distinctive insights that biographical and narrative approaches can bring to QoL research. While accounts of subjectively 'poor' QoL were relatively straightforward and unequivocally phrased, accounts of subjecti…
Correlation between computerised and standard cognitive testing in people with HIV and HIV-negative individuals
We investigated the correlations and agreement between cognitive assessments made using a computerised (CogStateTM, six domains) and a standard pen-and-paper battery (five domains) in PWH and lifestyle-similar HIV-negative individuals. Demographically adjusted domain and global T-scores were obtained and used to define cognitive impairment according to the multivariate normative comparison (MNC) criteria. Correlations between T-scores and the agr…
Ethnobiology Phase VI
Ethnobiology, like many fields, was shaped by early Western imperial efforts to colonize people and lands around the world and extract natural resources. Those legacies and practices persist today and continue to influence the institutions ethnobiologists are a part of, how they carry out research, and their personal beliefs and actions. Various authors have previously outlined five overlapping “phases” of ethnobiology. Here, we argue that ethnob…
Peer support workers’ conceptions of drug users and the implications for service provision
This paper explores how independently organised peer support workers conceptualise drug users to determine how they deliver their service. The work is undergirded by Spiro's critique of the social view that conceptions of the human are fixed, and his contention that sometimes the concept of the self is set aside for utilitarian purposes. A literature review indicates that different conceptions of the drug user as the 'psychological self' and the …
Discussing parenthood with gay men diagnosed with HIV
Parenting desires and intentions were rarely discussed with men in HIV care. Our findings illuminate the potentially beneficial effects of emphasising that having children is a possibility at diagnosis, regardless of patients' gender or sexuality. Conveying this information seems meaningful, not only to men who want to become parents in the future but also to others, as it appears to alleviate fears about mortality and ill health
Can HIV-positive gay men become parents? How men living with HIV and HIV clinicians talk about the possibility of having children
It is now established that people living with HIV who have an undetectable viral load and adhere to antiretroviral treatment cannot transmit HIV to their sexual partners. Previous research has shown that 'being undetectable' changes how HIV-positive gay men experience their sex lives. But how does it affect gay men's reproductive behaviours? And what influence does it have on views about parenthood at a time when gay fatherhood has become more so…
The Care Principles for Indigenous Data Governance
Concerns about secondary use of data and limited opportunities for benefit-sharing have focused attention on the tension that Indigenous communities feel between (1) protecting Indigenous rights and interests in Indigenous data (including traditional knowledges) and (2) supporting open data, machine learning, broad data sharing, and big data initiatives. The International Indigenous Data Sovereignty Interest Group (within the Research Data Allian…
An Australian Aboriginal in-prison restorative justice process
An Australian Aboriginal in-prison restorative justice process: a worldview explanation As a response to the over-representation of Australian Aboriginal offenders in Western Australian prisons and high rates of reoffending, this article presents a sketch of Western and Australian Aboriginal worldviews and core symbols as a basis for understanding the rehabilitative-restorative needs of this prisoner cohort. The work first reviews and argues that…
Ability to Monitor National Responses to the HIV Epidemic “Beyond Viral Suppression”
Objective: With more PLHIV aging into their 50s and beyond in settings where antiretroviral therapy is widely available, non-AIDS comorbidities and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) are becoming major challenges. Information is needed about whether national HIV monitoring programmes have evolved to reflect the changing focus of HIV care. Methods: We created a 56-item English-language survey to assess whether health systems report on common h…
Attitudes to disclosure of HIV-serostatus to new sexual partners and sexual behaviours among HIV-diagnosed gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men in the UK
We assessed attitudes to disclosure to new sexual partners and association with sexual behaviours among HIV-diagnosed gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (GBMSM) in the UK Antiretrovirals, Sexual Transmission Risk and Attitudes (ASTRA) study in 2011-12. Among 1373 GBMSM diagnosed with HIV for ≥3 months and reporting sex in the past three months (84% on antiretroviral therapy (ART), 75% viral load (VL) ≤50c/mL), 56.3% reported highe…
Embodied carbon of concrete in buildings, Part 1
Cement is responsible for 7% of global greenhouse gas emissions, and is predicted to grow with increasing development. The majority is used in concrete, globally the most common material in buildings. Reducing emissions from the use of cement and concrete in buildings is therefore critical in order to limit global warming. However there remain multiple gaps in knowledge about the extent of these emissions. This paper is the first output of a proj…
The own’ and ‘the wise’ as social support for older people living with HIV in the United Kingdom
As the HIV population ages, how the ageing and HIV experiences intersect to shape the lives of older people living with HIV (PLWH) becomes an increasingly pressing question. This multi-method study investigated social support, mental health and quality of life among 100 older PLWH in the United Kingdom. Drawing on data from three focus groups and 74 life-history interviews with older (aged 50+) White men who have sex with men (MSM), and Black Afr…
A Qualitative Study to Identify Perceptual Barriers to Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) Uptake and Adherence in HIV Positive People from UK Black African and Caribbean Communities
To inform the development of interventions to increase uptake and adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART), we explored perceptions of ART in semi-structured interviews with 52 men and women from UK black African and black Caribbean communities. Verbatim transcripts were analyzed using framework analysis. Perceptions of ART could be grouped into two categories: doubts about the personal necessity for ART and concerns about potential adverse effe…

Damasio’s body-map-based view, Panksepp’s affect-centric view, and the evolutionary advantages of consciousness
Although dualism has the advantage of being intuitively plausible, it is not compatible with a 21st-century (scientific) world view. Jaak Panksepp and Antonio Damasio are contemporary writers who reject dualism, and whose views take the form of “biological naturalism”. I first discuss how their views compare in five specific respects; and then I look more closely at how the different emphases of the views affect their ability to account for the e…
Negotiating Who "Owns" Penobscot Culture
Museums, archives, and libraries are important places of re-connection and re-animation for Indigenous peoples and communities. Ethnographic collections held within these sites tell very particular histories about the colonial experience, including how Native culture was transformed into forms of exclusive property through practices of research, collecting, and documentation. The Penobscot Nation is one of many tribes grappling with the reality t…
Innovations in Communications Technology and the Restructuring of the Roman Catholic Church
The Roman Catholic Church considers Communications Technology (CT) to be an important instrument for preserving ‘universal’ traditions and culture, and, for this reason, polarising forces in the Church have vied for dominance of this machinery in recent decades. This article uses Turner's theory of anti-structure and Urry’s ideas about mobility to examine how innovations in CT are contributing to the restructuring of the Church. On the one hand, …

The Politics of Global Information Sharing
Open-knowledge communities, the public domain and public policies protecting the global sharing of information and resources seek to counter the last decade of IP maximalization. Such movements aim to rebalance 'public' interests within IP discourse. Historically, dispossession of Indigenous persons in settler communities was concomitant with their exclusion from 'the public'. This has significant consequences for Indigenous peoples struggling to…
Like a prayer
Over 40,000 people are now living with diagnosed HIV in the UK. There is, however, uncertainty about how people with HIV use religion or spirituality to cope with their infection. Adopting a modified grounded theory approach, we analysed individual and group interviews with the people most affected by HIV in the UK: black African heterosexual men and women and gay men (mostly white). For the majority of black African heterosexual men and women in…

Struggling with ‘this gender relations thing’ in the Papua New Guinea Church Partnership Program
Gender equality and women's empowerment has become a cornerstone for successful development. Religious teachings and practices, like ‘traditional culture’, are often viewed as contributing to gender inequality and oppression. The increased engagement by donor agencies with religious organisations prompts questions about how religion, gender and development intersect in particular places, and the implications this intersection has for the transnat…

The results indicate the values were emphasized in the following order from high to low with significant differences ( p = .05): Self-interpreta…
Variations in the lung size of children in Papua New Guinea
In Papua New Guinea, rural village children of both sexes living in the highlands (1500--2000 m) were found to have mean values of forced vital capacity 27 per cent greater than children at sea level. Urban children with an apparently lower level of habitual activity had a lung size similar to that of rural children living at the same altitude. In a number of healthy children of coastal parents reared in the highlands and of highland parents rear…

An Evaluation of Generic Screens for Poor Quality of Hospital Care on a General Medicine Service
In this study, 675 general medicine admissions at a university teaching hospital were reviewed to evaluate six potential generic quality screens: 1) in-hospital death; 2) 28-day early readmission; 3) low patient satisfaction; 4) worsening severity of illness (as determined by an increase in Laboratory Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation APACHE-L); and 5) deviations from expected hospital length of stay; and 6) expected ancillary resour…

Women from Africa living with HIV in London
There are no studies that have examined the particular needs and experiences of African women living with HIV in the UK at a time when they represent an increasingly large proportion of the UK HIV epidemic. This study explores the illness biographies and daily lives of HIV-positive African women receiving treatment in London. Sixty-two women from 11 African countries attending HIV specialist clinics in five London hospitals participated in self-c…

HIV in East London
A clinic-based study has allowed us to survey nearly 1700 patients with HIV from diverse backgrounds receiving treatment and care in East London. The data collected in this study will provide valuable information for the planning and delivery of appropriate clinical care, social support and health promotion for people living with HIV not only in East London but in other parts of the capital as well as elsewhere in the UK
HIV-positive African women surviving in London
About three-quarters of all females diagnosed as HIV positive in the UK come from the African continent. However, very little is known about their daily lives.

It explores the factors shaping their survival strategies and describes their experiences in their own words. They are far from home and many live in con…
The Contest of Moralities
Religions can claim moral fixity while experiencing moral fluidity, a contradiction that produces social tensions.

Adherence to antiretroviral treatment in patients with HIV in the UK
Adherence to HIV treatment regimes is a core element to viral suppression. Yet measurement of adherence is complex. Although adherence levels are good predictors of outcome, they do not always provide full explanations of observed variations in responses. This study was set up to examine the complexity of adherence measurement and to examine rates of adherence in the presence of complex measurement. A total of 502 consecutive attenders at HIV cli…
