From classroom to community
Social enterprises (SEs) combine social and economic goals, requiring a distinct social transformational leadership (STL) style characterized by moral clarity, inspiration, motivation, innovation, and personal growth. This leadership promotes social value and financial stability. Studies reveal SE leaders face a leadership skills gap due to limited training in public administration (MPA) and nonprofit management (MNM) programs. An online faculty …
The Effect of Multimorbidity Patterns and the Impact of Comorbid Anxiety and Depression on Primary Health Service Use
This study sought to determine patterns of multimorbidity and quantify their impact on use of primary health services in the presence and absence of anxiety and depression among a cohort of urban community-dwelling men in Australia. The analytic sample consisted of men ( n = 2039; age 38–85) from the follow-up wave of a prospective cohort study of all participants of the Florey Adelaide Male Ageing Study (FAMAS; Stage 2 [2007–2010]) and age-match…
Trends of mortality attributable to child and maternal undernutrition, overweight/obesity and dietary risk factors of non-communicable diseases in sub-Saharan Africa, 1990–2015
Objective To assess trends of mortality attributable to child and maternal undernutrition (CMU), overweight/obesity and dietary risks of non-communicable diseases (NCD) in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) using data from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) Study 2015. Design For each risk factor, a systematic review of data was used to compute the exposure level and the effect size. A Bayesian hierarchical meta-regression analysis was used to estimate the…
Influence of Gender on Associations of Obstructive Sleep Apnea Symptoms with Chronic Conditions and Quality of Life
Women are less likely than men to be diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). We examined contemporary gender differences in symptoms, health status, and quality of life associated with diagnosed OSA and OSA symptoms in a population-based sample. A 2015 postal/on-line questionnaire of 2889 active participants of The North West Adelaide Health Study (response rate = 54%, male n = 704; female n = 856; age 30−100 years) assessed previously diag…
Burden of disease attributable to suboptimal diet, metabolic risks and low physical activity in Ethiopia and comparison with Eastern sub-Saharan African countries, 1990–2015
In Ethiopia, while there was a decline in mortality and DALYs attributable to CMU over the last two and half decades, the burden attributable to dietary and metabolic risks have increased during the same period. Lifestyle and metabolic risks of NCDs require more attention by the primary health care system of the country
Worldwide trends in blood pressure from 1975 to 2015
BACKGROUND: Raised blood pressure is an important risk factor for cardiovascular diseases and chronic kidney disease. We estimated worldwide trends in mean systolic and mean diastolic blood pressure, and the prevalence of, and number of people with, raised blood pressure, defined as systolic blood pressure of 140 mm Hg or higher or diastolic blood pressure of 90 mm Hg or higher. METHODS: For this analysis, we pooled national, subnational, or comm…
Lower educational level and unemployment increase the impact of cardiometabolic conditions on the quality of life
The case for using country-specific scoring coefficients for scoring the SF-12, with scoring implications for the SF-36
Area-Level Socioeconomic Characteristics, Prevalence and Trajectories of Cardiometabolic Risk
This study examines the relationships between area-level socioeconomic position (SEP) and the prevalence and trajectories of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and the count of its constituents (i.e., disturbed glucose and insulin metabolism, abdominal obesity, dyslipidemia, and hypertension). A cohort of 4,056 men and women aged 18+ living in Adelaide, Australia was established in 2000-2003. MetS was ascertained at baseline, four and eight years via clin…
Vitamin D levels in an Australian population
Vitamin D deficiency is prevalent in South Australia, affecting almost one quarter of the population and levels are related to activity, obesity and season even when adjusted for confounding factors. Improved methods of addressing vitamin D levels in population are required
Results from several population studies show that recommended scoring methods of the SF-36 and the SF-12 may lead to incorrect conclusions and subsequent health decisions
Investigating Individual- and Area-Level Socioeconomic Gradients of Pulse Pressure among Normotensive and Hypertensive Participants
Socioeconomic status is a strong predictor of cardiovascular disease. Pulse pressure, the difference between systolic and diastolic blood pressure, has been identified as an important predictor of cardiovascular risk even after accounting for absolute measures of blood pressure. However, little is known about the social determinants of pulse pressure. The aim of this study was to examine individual- and area-level socioeconomic gradients of pulse…
Are baby‐boomers healthy enough to keep working? Health as a mediator of extended labour force participation
One strategy to reduce the economic impact of structural ageing is to increase and/or extend the workforce participation of older workers. Currently, a large proportion of this group consists of post‐World War II baby‐boomers (1946–1965) whose characteristics, experiences and attitudes differ markedly from their predecessors. Maintaining good health underpins strategies to extend workforce participation among baby‐boomers but there is little hard…
The Australian Baby Boomer Population—Factors Influencing Changes to Health-Related Quality of Life Over Time
If we are to maximize the future labor participation, and HRQoL, of this cohort, it will be necessary to reduce obesity and sedentary behavior and to further investigate the association between health and employment
Rewriting the African Diaspora in the Caribbean and Latin America
Similar to the black subjectivity dilemmas discussed by W.E.B. Du Bois and Ralph Ellison in the US context, Afro-Latin Americans are caught between the paradoxical tensions of hyper-visibility and invisibility. In the imagined community narratives of Latin America, the presence of Afro-Latin Americans and their societal contributions are rendered invisible in the name of national unity. This article begins by exploring how the colonial imagined c…

Multimorbidity - not just an older person's issue. Results from an Australian biomedical study
Multimorbidity is not just associated with older persons and flexible care management support systems, appropriate guidelines and care-coordination programs are required across a broader age range. Issues such as health literacy and polypharamacy are also important considerations. Future research is required into assessing multimorbidity across the life course, prevention of complications and assessment of appropriate self-care strategies

Shepherds at Umma in the Third Dynasty of Ur
The Third Dynasty of Ur was a highly bureaucratized, late 3rd millennium B.C.E. empire centering in southern Mesopotamia. Its state superstructure, known almost exclusively from many tens of thousands of looted cuneiform tablets, has long been studied. However, these sources deal only indirectly or not at all with the impacts of imperial rule on the great mass of the subject population. Drawing upon an earlier prosopographic study of animal husba…

D. W. Griffith and the Use of Off-Screen Space
Recent scholarship has helped to dispel the mistaken idea that the films of D. W. are outmoded museum pieces which, though not to be ignored for their historic value, are no longer of interest as art. Old prejudices die hard and despite the revival of later films, such as Broken Blossoms, Way Down East, and Dream Street, all too often a list of firsts in the history of the narrative film is the total consideration which is allowed. Even among ind…
Nathaniel Peabody Rogers
I N a passage of brilliant symbolism, V. L. Parrington remarked that from earliest days two mighty figures, the merchant and the minister, struggled over the soul of New England.' He has traced with some care the history of their conflict. As he tells the story, it is easy to see how the ideals represented by these figures came into rivalry. It is also easy to overestimate the extent of their opposition. As Daniel Webster said of his old antagoni…

The Architecture and Art of Early Hispanic Colorado
First published in 1974, when it was awarded the Western Heritage Wrangler Award for the Cowboy Hall of Fame and Western Heritage Centre, this remains the only extensive survey of Hispanic building and art on the late Colorado frontier. Because most of the villages where the author found his subjects are now either abandoned to transformed by developers, the book is likely to stand as the only full visual record of what Spanish Americans along th…

Piers's Pardon and Langland's Semi-Pelagianism
’Hold there!’ said he. ’One must be a theologian to see the point of this question. The difference is so subtle, that it is with some difficulty we can discern it ourselves — you will find it rather too much for your powers of comprehension. Pascal, The Provincial Letters I. Virtually all who have written on Piers Plowman B agree that one's interpretation of the pardon in Passus 7 is central to one's understanding of the entire poem. Unfortunatel…

The Narrative of Robert Adams, A Barbary Captive
First published in London in 1816, The Narrative of Robert Adams is an account of the adventures of Robert Adams, an African American seaman who survives shipwreck, slavery, and brutal efforts to convert him to Islam, before being ransomed to the British consul. In London, Adams is discovered by the Company of Merchants Trading which publishes his story, into which Adams inserts a fantastical account of a trip to Timbuctoo. Adams's story is accom…
Black Gotham
For almost four centuries, African Americans in New York City have engaged in ethnic “dream-work,” shaping the city and being shaped by the city in return. The longstanding practice of racism forced a heterogeneous community of Blacks—originating in different parts of the country and the world, speaking many languages, and comprised of different economic classes— to coalesce as a community in order to challenge their subjugation. This article exp…
