Further Development and Validation of a Measure of Compassionate Healthcare in Action
BACKGROUND: Compassionate Healthcare In Action (CHIA) is a new questionnaire to measure patient experiences of compassionate care, with a particular focus on observable behaviours. It has been designed to address gaps in currently available metrics. It is generalisable across healthcare contexts and has been developed with patient and public involvement throughout. The present study sought to build on earlier development to evaluate the CHIA's fa…
Teacher education for artificial intelligence literacy through a self-determination theory perspective
Existing research often isolates professional development from professional learning communities, overlooking their critical connection. This may hinder the scaling and sustainability of professional learning. This study bridges this gap by applying self-determination theory to investigate how need-supportive professional development impacts teachers’ AI literacy, attitudes, anxiety and engagement in online professional learning communities. Usin…
Counting Fake Latrines
Rural public servants in Ethiopia are responsible for enacting policies that are subject to competing and contradictory demands, and that often do not accord with people's existing priorities. Referring to the riddling Amharic language game of enkokilish , government workers described their work as like a game: repetitive, unproductive and not grounded in reality. This article will look at how initiatives to improve sanitation under the Ethiopian…
Illuminated Sanctuaries
Environmental non-profits use visual imagery, specifically photography, to communicate and educate the public efficiently. Harnessing the informative power and global reach of social media, images attempt to show the complex ecological issues surrounding restoration and what is at stake for our oceans and marine life, which depend on coral ecologies for survival. These images provide visibility to scientific interventions, while also shaping cora…
The HeDiCom framework
There is little consensus about the nature of teachers’ digital competencies in Higher Education. Moreover, existing digital competence frameworks have largely been developed for teachers in secondary education. In response to this, the current study focuses on developing and validating a framework of digital competencies for teachers in Higher Education. First, a review was conducted to determine the state of digital competence research regardin…
The feasibility and acceptability of a single-session Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) intervention to support women self-reporting fear of childbirth in a first pregnancy
OBJECTIVE: To assess the feasibility and acceptability of a single-session Acceptance and Commitment Therapy intervention to help women manage fear of childbirth during a first pregnancy. DESIGN: A mixed-methods approach including qualitative feedback and pre/post-intervention self-report measures. Pregnant women (14-37 weeks gestation) were recruited via the UK National Health Service and attended a single-session (<3 hours) Acceptance and Commi…
Child protection and safeguarding in initial teacher education
To improve educational outcomes for maltreated children, there is an urgent need to strengthen the capacity of the education workforce to respond appropriately to their needs. We conducted a systematic scoping review to synthesize current evidence about child protection and safeguarding in initial (pre-registration) teacher education with the aim of developing a knowledge base, and understanding what we — as researchers, teacher educators, and pr…
Rethinking the entwinement between artificial intelligence and human learning
The proliferation of AI in many aspects of human life—from personal leisure, to collaborative professional work, to global policy decisions—poses a sharp question about how to prepare people for an interconnected, fast-changing world which is increasingly becoming saturated with technological devices and agentic machines. What kinds of capabilities do people need in a world infused with AI? How can we conceptualise these capabilities? How can we …

Hazardous air pollutant exposure as a contributing factor to Covid-19 mortality in the United States
To date, COVID-19 has claimed more than 100 000 American lives. Early inquiry suggests preexisting conditions are key risk factors contributing to COVID-19 mortality and air pollution exposure could exacerbate this relationship. Building on prior research linking deaths from respiratory viruses to air pollution exposures, we investigate how 2014 National Air Toxics Assessment hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) respiratory hazard quotient and respira…
Coffee and the State in Rural Ethiopia
Coffee drinking is fundamental to social life in Ethiopia. Based on research in eastern Amhara Region between 2011 and 2015, this paper explores the omnipresent buna ceremony during which coffee is prepared and served, and its role in the lives of rural government workers as an occasion for building group solidarity as protection against the hardships they face. While Ethiopian society is commonly portrayed as highly authoritarian and hierarchica…

The Advertising Industry and Alcohol in Interwar France
This article reassesses interwar French advertising through the case study of alcohol, one of the period's most widely advertised and popular products. Examining the ways in which alcoholic beverages were branded, marketed, and advertised, the article revises the historiography of French advertising in several ways. Histories of interwar French advertising have described an industry that was retarded and underdeveloped, or else slowly progressing…
Thin-Ideal Internalization and Social Comparison Tendency as Moderators of Media Models' Impact on Women's Body-Focused Anxiety
Exposure to thin media models has a negative effect on women's body image, and the current study extends previous research by examining the relative impact and interrelation of two moderators: (a) individual differences in women's internalization of the thin ideal, and (b) tendency to make social comparisons with media models. Body-focused anxiety of adult professional women (n = 150) was examined after they had been exposed to one of three types…
Sellint Wine to the French
In the early 1930s, France faced a steadily worsening surplus of wine as a series of large harvests combined with the effects of a worldwide and domestic depression. During this period, successive governments were unwilling to limit France's wine production. The French State, believing that increased wine consumption would liquidate the surplus, therefore undertook the strategy of persuading French consumers that it was their patriotic duty to dr…
