Evaluation of the GenoScreen Deeplex Myc-TB workflow for drug-resistant tuberculosis testing in South Africa
Tuberculosis (TB) remains a leading cause of death globally, particularly in low- and middle-income countries, where healthcare systems are under-resourced and the burden of drug-resistant disease is highest. We assessed the feasibility of future integration of the GenoScreen Deeplex Myc-TB assay - a targeted next-generation sequencing (tNGS) assay for Mycobacterium tuberculosis detection and drug-resistance profiling within a national reference …
Disarming educational discourse
Education in the United States has long been shaped by war metaphors that influence the emotional and relational life of classrooms. This paper draws on nonviolence as both a curricular and pedagogical response to confront and disarm such discursive violence. Drawing on Wang’s work, nonviolence is framed here as an active, embodied commitment to care, openness, and relational presence. Through lived classroom examples and reflective analysis, we …
They Get It, They’ve Been Through It’
Parent advocacy is increasingly being adopted as a means of encouraging parents to understand and engage with child protection professionals. Current research suggests that it is highly valued by parents and professionals alike, but the focus of data collected thus far has largely been on services that have been received, which may make positive assessments more likely. As part of an ongoing project evaluating parent advocacy services across Engl…
Critical reflections on public involvement in research
Public involvement in research has become a common feature of the research process across health and social sciences. Public involvement means that people with lived experience of the research topic advise on, and sometimes co-produce, any or all stages of the research process from setting the research agenda through to dissemination and impact activities. Social work research has an established record of public involvement, but the literature on…
A Social Work Model of Historical Trauma
This article introduces a Social Work Model of Historical Trauma. The model draws from social work perspectives (ecosystems theory and the life model, human rights philosophy, race-based traumatic stress injury theory and attachment theory), disparities research, social work issues and policy statements, social work ethics and epigenetics. Assessment and intervention in micro, mezzo and macro domains are discussed. The article concludes with a ca…
Apologizing to Chavers
On social media platforms such as Twitter and Instagram, Black women create counternarratives to reclaim ownership of their representation from the anti-Black and misogynistic mainstream media. One example of their efforts is the proliferation of the hashtag #Blackgirlmagic, which has become a device to herald Black women's unseen accomplishments. When Black femme social media users employ #Blackgirlmagic, they feel a sense of control over their …

Factors that influence specialist physician preferences for fee-for-service and salary-based payment models
Most physicians across the world are paid through fee-for-service. However, there is increased interest in alternative payment models such as salary, capitation, episode-based payment, pay-for-performance, and strategic blends of these models. Such models may be more aligned with broad health policy goals such as fiscal sustainability, delivery of high-quality care, and physician and patient well-being. Despite this, there is limited research on …
Making mansaf
In Jordan mansaf has become a national symbol, consumed on major social occasions, served in various forms to tourists and visitors, and imbued with a set of historical and socio-cultural associations. Across historical Syria (Bilād ash-Shām) and northern Arabia dishes similar to what is now considered mansaf have been made and consumed in different historical contexts and have often been linked with ideas of hospitality and protection given to g…

ICTs Help Citizens Voice Concerns over Water – Or Do They
Information and communications technologies (ICTs) are widely seen as a new avenue for citizens to hold service providers and government to account. But if citizens live in rural Africa, Asia or Latin America, are they able and willing to report on service delivery failures? And are service providers or government officials willing to listen and respond? We explore these questions using an analysis of recent ICT reporting initiatives to improve r…
From Aset to Jesus
Early Christians appropriated icons and stories from the Kemetic Spiritual System to create a belief system centered on the martyr Jesus. When reexamining the roles of the Kemet trinity of Asar, Aset, and Heru, previous scholarship often used the Christian model of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Aset, the feminine aspect of the Kemetic trinity, translated as Mary, mother of Jesus, has diminished importance in Christianity and thus dimi…
The Traditional Courts Bill
The Traditional Courts Bill, should it become law, will intimately affect the daily lives of almost 17 million South Africans. The Bill seeks to give recognition to traditional leadership and its role in the dispensation of criminal and civil justice. Women form the majority of the rural population where the traditional courts predominantly function. Unfortunately, the Bill, as it currently stands, does not provide the necessary protection to the…

Equity of access to cardiac rehabilitation
Health service managers typically monitor service utilisation patterns as indicators of access but often pay little attention to ways in which locally determined system factors influence access to care. The paper shows how a hospital selection process can unreasonably influence patients' opportunities to benefit from an evidence-based healthcare program
Performing Utopia
While Butterfly's aria “Un bel dì vedremo” is often regarded as an expression of a deluded hope for Pinkerton's return, its text and music suggest that there is a more complex mode of performance at work. As a performative utopian narrative, the aria expresses the subject's desire to escape the Japanese community that cast her out and find a position in a new community in America. Through musical and visual traces of an imagined future, the subje…

Religious Orientation, Personality, and Attitudes About Human Stem Cell Research
Human stem cell research has revived long-standing debates regarding the sanctity and beginning of life. The current study addresses the issue by examining the ability of selected religiosity and personality variables to predict attitudes regarding stem cell research. Participants were given questionnaires measuring attitudes regarding stem cell research, along with the Need for Closure scale, the Internal Control Index, the Need for Uniqueness s…
Pandemic Influenza and Pregnant Women
Pandemic Influenza: Special Considerations for Pregnant Women was a meeting convened by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 2008 to obtain input from experts and key partners regarding clinical management of pregnant women and related public health actions to be taken during a pandemic. Meeting goals were to discuss issues specific to pregnant women, identify gaps in knowledge, and develop a public health approach for pregnant women…
Spatial ability in secondary school students
Past research has demonstrated consistent sex differences with men typically outperforming women on tests of spatial ability. However, less is known about intra-sex effects. In the present study, two groups of female students (physical education and non-physical education secondary students) and two corresponding groups of male students explored a large-scale virtual shopping centre. In a battery of tasks, spatial knowledge of the shopping centre…

Group Identification
The hypothesis derived from Social Identity Theory that strength of group identification would be positively correlated with intergroup differentiation is tested. Data was obtained from 55 workers in a bakery using semistructured interviews. Analysis showed clear differentiation between the factory departments by subgroups of workers along dimensions of perceived contribution to the running of the factory and expressed friendliness towards out-gr…

Bias in Reward Allocation in an Intergroup and an Interpersonal Context
Children's strategies in giving money to others were examined in an intergroup condition, based on a weak' act of social categorization, and in an interpersonal condition, based on strong friendship choice. Over a series of trials, coins were arranged on cards so that each decision was made in a 3 x 2 matrix. Children used a Maximum Difference (relative gain) strategy to a marked degree, a Maximum Ingroup Payoff (absolute gain) to some extent, bu…

Explaining intergroup differentiation in an industrial organization
We report a study of intergroup relations in a paper factory in which we examine the utility of three social‐psychological approaches: realistic conflict theory, the contact hypothesis and social identity theory. A sample of 177 shop floor workers from five different departments was interviewed. From them, measures of intergroup differentiation, perceived intergroup conflict, amount of intergroup contact, and strength of workgroup identification …

Family Structures and the Feminization of Poverty
The quality of life for many single mothers and their children is shrouded in economic hardship. Women outside the traditional nuclear family, attempting to raise children, are doing so in poverty and without much public support. Marital disruption, teenage mothers, and out of wedlock births have resulted in an alarming number of improverished children living in America. This paper examines census data in the state of Hawaii and the impact of fam…

The Influence of Dominance Rank on the Reproductive Success of Female Chimpanzees
Female chimpanzees often forage alone and do not display obvious linear dominance hierarchies; consequently, it has been suggested that dominance is not of great importance to them. However, with the use of data from a 35-year field study of chimpanzees, high-ranking females were shown to have significantly higher infant survival, faster maturing daughters, and more rapid production of young. Given the foraging behavior of chimpanzees, high rank …
