Retrospective analysis of hospital electronic health records reveals unseen cases of acute hepatitis with unknown aetiology in adults in Oxfordshire
Our results highlight an increase in AHUA in adults coinciding with the period of the outbreak in children, but not linked to documented HAdV infection. Tracking changes in routinely collected clinical data through EHR could be used to support outbreak surveillance
True encounters with the fictional university
Portrayals of teachers, students and universities in the popular cultural texts of dark academia are far removed from the lived realities of teaching academics in the contemporary, digital, neoliberal university. Pathways educators, who teach large numbers of non-traditional students in tertiary preparation programmes mostly online, are almost completely silenced in much of popular and academic discourse about the idealised university. This paper…
Rihanna's empire of pain
Last year, the popular feminist Ms magazine ranked Rihanna receiving the title of ‘Barbados’s National Hero’ number two in its list of ‘2021’s Best Feminist Pop Culture Moments’ (Hobson 2021). Online, ‘quote inspo’ inspirational memes have also celebrated Rihanna’s meteoric commercial success, citing the star’s most famous and prophetic utterance (to Paper magazine in 2007): ‘I want to be the black Madonna.’ While fans and the popular press alike…
Computer says no? Limitations of tech-focused transitions to higher education for Australian LSES students
This article explores the limitations of technology-focused teaching and online learning in ‘widening participation’ tertiary preparation programs, from the perspective of non-traditional university students, and in their own words. Specifically, the article draws on data derived from the Life Literacies academic preparation and action research project which was designed to enhance the capacity of students from low socioeconomic (LSES) background…
From Shark Bait to final girl in filmic horror
This study examines filmic (mis)use of monstrous sharks as metaphors for exploring prey and predation, and how these films have incorporated postfeminist discourses around a symbolic overcoming of gendered violence. Research methods deployed include framing analysis of film narratives, dialogue and visual elements, including the key phrases and images used in the theatrical release posters and other promotional materials of shark attack horror fi…
Global burden of bacterial antimicrobial resistance in 2019
BACKGROUND: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a major threat to human health around the world. Previous publications have estimated the effect of AMR on incidence, deaths, hospital length of stay, and health-care costs for specific pathogen-drug combinations in select locations. To our knowledge, this study presents the most comprehensive estimates of AMR burden to date. METHODS: We estimated deaths and disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) a…
Covid-19 Vaccine Effectiveness against the Omicron (B.1.1.529) Variant
BACKGROUND: A rapid increase in coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) cases due to the omicron (B.1.1.529) variant of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 in highly vaccinated populations has aroused concerns about the effectiveness of current vaccines. METHODS: We used a test-negative case-control design to estimate vaccine effectiveness against symptomatic disease caused by the omicron and delta (B.1.617.2) variants in England. Vaccine…
(Not) Very Important People
In her fascinating but frustrating new book, Very Important People: Status and Beauty in the Global Party Circuit , American sociologist, Ashley Mears (2020) offers both academic and mainstream readers a titillating, cross-over tour around the “cool” nightclub and party scene of the “global elite.” It is perhaps not so much global, however, as American, in the sense of the heteropatriarchal, middle-aged, male, working rich of America (or more pre…
Beyond Digital Literacy in Australian Prisons
Incarcerated students, especially women and Indigenous Australians in custody, are among the most marginalized, oppressed, and invisible identities in Australian society today. These prison-based university students experience not only multi-layered disadvantages that derive from intersecting experiences of oppression, including race, gender, and class, but they are also further disadvantaged by the experience of incarceration itself, despite the…
Free Britney, b**ch
When a Los Angeles judge ruled on November 12, 2021, that the conservatorship which Britney Spears had been held under for almost 14 years must be terminated, the outcome represented not only a significant victory for the pop star and her fans, but a defining moment for fandom and participatory culture generally. Since the conservatorship over Spears’s person and estate was established in 2008, fans have expressed concern for her welfare, with th…
Effectiveness of Covid-19 Vaccines against the B.1.617.2 (Delta) Variant
Background The B.1.617.2 (delta) variant of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the virus that causes coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19), has contributed to a surge in cases in India and has now been detected across the globe, including a notable increase in cases in the United Kingdom. The effectiveness of the BNT162b2 and ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccines against this variant has been unclear. Methods We used a test-negati…
Sars-CoV-2 infection in London, England
Background The UK has been one of the European countries most affected by COVID-19 pandemic. The UK implemented a lockdown in March 2020, when testing policy at the time was focusing on hospitalised cases. Limited information is therefore available on the impact of the lockdown on point prevalence in the community. We assessed COVID-19 point prevalence in London between early April and early May 2020, which approximately reflect infection around …
Trainwreck femininity and Whitney
As a woman who is both loved and hated, revered and reviled, the celebrity trainwreck can be read as a powerful and creative model of subversion. That is not how Whitney’s Houston’s life story is f
The monstrous and the dead? Courtney Love and feminism in the 1990s and beyond
Reflections on 1990s culture are particularly pertinent in the post-feminist new media age, as social media surpasses MTV music video in channelling ambitious girl power to the mainstream. Empowere
Girl power-dressing
With the resurgence of popular feminism (Rottenberg 2014, McRobbie 2015, Gill 2016), the Western world seems awash with celebrity-driven ‘girl power dressing’, or the convergence of luxury fashion
UN celebrity ‘It’ girls as public relations-ised humanitarianism
This article combines framing analysis and critical textual analysis in a qualitative investigation of the ways in which popular culture texts, in particular articles in Australian women's magazines, frame transnational celebrity activism. Using three recent case studies of commercial representations of popular female celebrities – Nicole Kidman in Marie Claire (Australia), Angelina Jolie in Vogue (Australia) and Emma Watson in Cleo (Australia) –…
The prison is another country
Space, time and movement have particular meanings and significance for Australian prisoners attempting higher education while incarcerated. In a sense, the prison is another ‘world’ or ‘country’ with its own spatial and temporal arrangements and constraints for incarcerated university students. The contemporary digital university typically presupposes a level of mobility and access to mobile communication technologies which most Australian prison…
