Health follows football
Men carrying the greatest burden of preventable ill health are among the least likely to be reached by conventional health promotion. Football-based initiatives have demonstrated capacity to engage such men, yet the cultural mechanisms through which sustained engagement and health outcomes are achieved remain poorly understood. This paper explores how football culture and the organizational culture of the Football Cooperative (FC) initiative, an …
Feasibility, acceptability and effectiveness of a lifestyle program for perimenopause
Purpose To assess the feasibility and acceptability of a lifestyle program for perimenopausal women and to evaluate the program’s preliminary effectiveness on symptoms, physical activity and menopause-specific health literacy. Design/methodology/approach A lifestyle intervention incorporating physical activity and menopause-specific health education was implemented over six-weeks. Feasibility was assessed through recruitment, retention and adhere…
Narratives, policies and responses to rioting in a multi-level governance system
Wales (UK) has had two significant outbreaks of rioting in recent years. In 2021, there was public disorder in Mayhill (Swansea) during a vigil for a young person that had prematurely died. Then in 2023, there was rioting in Ely (Cardiff) after two young boys lost their lives during a police chase. State reactions to riots have become formulaic in terms of leaders condemning the disorder, and promising swift and punitive action. However, response…
Capturing the wider benefits from football participation
The computed SROI ratios for a single site and for ten sites compare favourably with those of other health initiatives particularly other football and community based SROI evaluations. Furthermore, this study quantifies the benefits of football participation from a mental health and social perspective in addition to physical benefits, and it also highlights the benefits of football participation to other stakeholders such as participants' family …
Football cooperative
Across the western world, men tend to have lower life expectancy compared to women and have higher mortality rates for most of the leading causes of deaths at all ages. While biological factors such as genetics and hormones may seem to contribute to men’s heightened vulnerability to certain diseases and health conditions, these elements alone do not fully explain the significant disparities observed in health outcomes between men and women. To ad…

Is partnership working? Complexities and barriers in the development of community safety practice in Wales
Community safety in England and Wales underwent significant change a quarter of a century ago when community safety partnerships (CSPs) were introduced as part of the Crime and Disorder Act 1998. Measures to reduce or prevent anti-social behaviour and crime became the responsibility of not just the police but multiple public and third-sector organisations working in partnership. In Wales, additional complexity exists due to most CSP partners oper…
Multiple-Component Measurement Instruments in Heterogeneous Populations
This note confronts the common use of a single coefficient alpha as an index informing about reliability of a multicomponent measurement instrument in a heterogeneous population. Two or more alpha coefficients could instead be meaningfully associated with a given instrument in finite mixture settings, and this may be increasingly more likely the case in empirical educational and psychological research. It is argued that in such situations explici…
On True Score Evaluation Using Item Response Theory Modeling
Building on prior research on the relationships between key concepts in item response theory and classical test theory, this note contributes to highlighting their important and useful links. A readily and widely applicable latent variable modeling procedure is discussed that can be used for point and interval estimation of the individual person true score on any item in a unidimensional multicomponent measuring instrument or item set under consi…
On the Connections Between Item Response Theory and Classical Test Theory
This note highlights and illustrates the links between item response theory and classical test theory in the context of polytomous items. An item response modeling procedure is discussed that can be used for point and interval estimation of the individual true score on any item in a measuring instrument or item set following the popular and widely applicable graded response model. The method contributes to the body of research on the relationship…
Intra-police communication in public order police management
The death of Ian Tomlinson in 2009 and the destructiveness of the English Riots in 2011 brought unprecedented coverage to public order police (POP) strategies and tactics. These events signalled a watershed in POP management that inferred greater responsibility and stronger leadership. In these high stake environments senior officers have to manage multiple dynamics. In addition to managing crowds, commanders have to consider external culpability…
Fighting the Battles We Never Could
On June 26, 2012, Marvel's The Avengers became the third movie in history to earn $600 million dollars at the box office. The film was well received by fans and critics alike and it stood at the apex of a series of superhero movies released in the last decade. The mass appeal of the superhero, as evidenced by this success, has never seemed more powerful than in the years since September 11, a day that floored the likes of Captain America, who wep…
The Queer Spaces and Fluid Bodies of Nazario's Anarcoma
At a time when Spanish culture was attempting to emerge from the shadow of an oppressive dictatorship, a generation of queer artists used comics to comment on the time's significant cultural changes. This essay examines the original queer sensibility of the comic Anarcoma , by Nazario, as a symbol of the changes that were happening all over post-Franco Spain. Centering on the exploits of the titular transsexual detective, Anarcoma takes the cultu…

Family Studies in Australiaxbitm
As in most countries, the study of families in Australia runs the gamut from theoretical analyses to applied and evaluative research. Lacking the strong influence of home economics that is prevalent in American agricultural universities and the strong private philanthropy which funds much of family research in other societies, Australian family research has had strong links with governmental social policies and programs. This paper reviews the de…

Text-Based On-Line Conferencing
This article is concerned with an analysis of the requirements for text-based on-line conferencing. From a system perspective, text-based on-line conferencing can be viewed as either message passing or data sharing. These complementary views give rise to different design dimensions. For example, the message-passing view is concerned with granularity, channels, message labels, and so on. The data-sharing view is concerned with the access different…

A Comparison of Denominational Identification and Membership
multiple regression equations. In general, denominational identification is related to those features of Jewish life which occur outside an institutional framework, while actual synagogue membership is associated with public worship, children's Jewish education, and activities in Jewish voluntary associations. Denominational identification is indicative of a broad, communal orientation toward Judaism, the Jewish, and the non-Jewish communities. M…

Dynamics of Dissenting Movements within Established Organizations
Turner and Killian have suggested that the tendency for internal movements of dissent to become incorporated into their parent organizations, rather than separating from them, depends largely on the degree of integration of their members into the parent body, the power of that body to enforce its position and to suppress dissent, and its ability to absorb dissent through reform or structural differentiation. Our case studies of Neo-Pentecostal mo…

Contrast effect in the use of punishment
Informal accounts of what has been termed a police riot indicate that more clubbing, prodding, and macing of protestors was done by men who carried a revolver than by those who did not. A contrast hypothesis was suggested whereby a strong but prohibited degree of punishment serves as an anchor in contrast with which lower degrees of permissible punishment are judged to be weaker than the case without the anchor. To compensate for the insufficienc…
