Oasis Senior Supportive Living: An Innovative Low-Cost Community-Based Intervention to Support Healthy Aging in Place
Introduction: According to the World Health Organization, in 2019, there were one billion people aged 60 years and older. This number is projected to rise to 2.1 billion by 2050. However, older adults living in the community often experience loneliness and other health consequences. Our existing service model, which is heavily focused on disease and lacks the involvement of service users, is not adequately prepared to address the diverse social a…
Community Support Providers in the Social Networks of Older Adults Living in Naturally Occurring Retirement Communities (Norcs)
Introduction: The world population is aging, and most people prefer to stay in their homes for as long as possible. There is a growing number of naturally occurring retirement communities (NORCs)—unplanned neighborhoods or apartment buildings with a high proportion of older adults—in many countries such as Australia, Canada, and the USA. To experience healthy aging, older adults living in NORCs must be surrounded by a quality network encompassing…

Impact of Covid-19 lockdowns on hospital presentations and admissions in the context of low community transmission: Evidence from time series analysis in Melbourne, Australia
BACKGROUND: Melbourne, Australia, successfully halted exponential transmission of COVID-19 via two strict lockdowns during 2020. The impact of such restrictions on healthcare-seeking behaviour is not comprehensively understood, but is of global importance. We explore the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on acute, subacute and emergency department (ED) presentations/admissions within a tertiary, metropolitan health service in Melbourne, Australia, …

Personalising screening of sight-threatening diabetic retinopathy - qualitative evidence to inform effective implementation
Implementing variable-interval screening into clinical practice is generally acceptable to PWD and HCP with important caveats, and misconceptions must be addressed. Clear safeguards against increasing non-attendance, loss of diabetes control and alternative referral pathways are required. For risk calculation systems to be safe, reliable monitoring and clear communication is required
Spenser’s Pastoral Places
Originally a plenary lecture given at the 2015 Spenser Conference in Dublin on “Spenser’s Places/The Place of Spenser,” this article explores the place of Spenser in the pastoral tradition, encompassing as it does Virgil, the Bible, and also the various other versions of pastoral that had emerged over the course of the Middle Ages. Spenser constantly sets these rich strands of inheritance in dialectical opposition to each other, principally in th…
The Auchinleck Manuscript: New Perspectives, ed. Susanna Fein
The genesis of this book lies in a conference held in London in 2008, though it is rather more than a volume of proceedings. The Auchinleck manuscript (Edinburgh, NLS, MS Advocates 19.2.1) is famous as the most comprehensive surviving manuscript of Middle English texts, and in particular for its array of anonymous romances: eighteen of them, five of which are unique to this manuscript. It also contains a good number of religious texts, several ag…

Language in Medieval Britain: Networks and Exchanges: Proceedings of the 2013 Harlaxton Symposium, ed. Mary Carruthers
‘Trilingual England’ and the various cultures implied by the concurrent usage of Anglo-Norman, Anglo-Latin and the developing English language have been the subject of increasing scholarly investigation for some years now. The 2013 Harlaxton Symposium widened the focus by bringing together scholars from a number of different disciplines: architecture and music, Books of Hours, surgery, cookery and law. Some of the papers published here, edited by…
Romance and the Gentry in Late Medieval England, by Michael Johnston
The core argument of Michael Johnston’s book is that nine of the surviving Middle English metrical romances should be associated with a particular class of readership—the provincial landed gentry—and that their preservation in a number of manuscripts associated with individual gentry families illuminates both the romances themselves and the communities that read and copied them. He gives a finely detailed account of each of the families that comp…
The Gold Coast Integrated Care Model
This article outlines the development of the Australian Gold Coast Integrated Care Model based on the elements identified in contemporary research literature as essential for successful integration of care between primary care, and acute hospital services. The objectives of the model are to proactively manage high risk patients with complex and chronic conditions in collaboration with General Practitioners to ultimately reduce presentations to th…
Fatherhood and its Representations in Middle English Texts, by Rachel E. Moss
Notwithstanding the rapid increase in studies of masculinity, the dynamics of paternal relationships, as Rachel Moss notes, have been largely ignored, and she has interesting things to say about their various workings in such issues as the transition to full manhood implied by fatherhood, father–son relationships, stepfathers, and illegitimacy. The Middle English texts that she explores for their representations of fatherhood are of two kinds: le…

C.S. Lewis as Medievalist
C.S. Lewis’s life as an academic was concerned with the teaching of medieval and Renaissance literature, though both his lectures and his publications also incorporated his extensive knowledge of Greek and Latin classics. He argued that the cultural and intellectual history of Europe was divided into three main periods, the pre-Christian, the Christian and the post-Christian, which he treated as a matter of historical understanding and with no ai…

Attitudes to biotechnology: Estimating the opinions of a better-informed public
Public familiarity with basic scientific concepts and principles has been proposed as essential for effective democratic decision-making (Miller, 1998). Empirical research, however, finds that public 'scientific literacy' is generally low, falling well short of what normative criteria would consider 'acceptable.' This has prompted calls to better engage, educate and inform the public on scientific matters, with the additional, usually implicit as…

Locus of control and academic achievement: A literature review
A quantitative review of research investigating the relationship between locus of control and academic achievement was conducted. Two basic conclusions resulted: (a) More internal beliefs are associated with greater academic achievement, and (b) the magnitude of this relation is small to medium. Characteristics of the participants in the reviewed studies (i.e., gender, age, race, and socioeconomic level) and the nature of the locus of control and…

Social Class or Deprivation? Structural Factors and Children's Limiting Longstanding Illness in the 1990s
This paper investigates inequalities in children's reported morbidity by parental social class compared with indicators of material disadvantage, using data for children aged 0 to 16 years from the British General Household Surveys for 1991-94. Family structure, employment status and receipt of benefit are more closely associated with differentials in health for children than parental social class. Children in lone parent families living on Incom…
How Teachers Explain Students’ Academic Performance: A Categorization of Free Response Academic Attributions
A 12-category scheme is presented, which synthesizes systems developed by Frieze, Bar-Tal and Darom, and the present authors. The attribution categories vary along three dimensions relevant to teacher behavior: internality, stability, and teacher efficacy (or the degrees of teacher influence over the performance outcome). A study is then reported which found (1) students training to be teachers were aware of the teacher efficacy implications of a…
Homework Hotlines: Recommendations for Successful Practice
It is common for students to have difficulty completing homework in a timely and accurate manner. Many school districts and organizations offer homework hotlines to help students complete assignments. However, educators lack a clear description of what is necessary to establish and maintain an effective hotline. This article addresses four issues that need to be considered: (a) a definition of homework hotlines and some of their variations; (b) h…

Health status is the most powerful predictor of use for each heal…
Classroom Context and Student Ability as Influences on Teacher Perceptions of Classroom Control
Two studies examined teacher cognitive processes concerning personal control in the classroom. The extent to which teachers perceived classroom control and expected successful outcomes with high- and low-ability students were contrasted within five different hypothetical classroom contexts. The results indicate that high-ability students are perceived as more controllable than low-ability students; teacher-initiated interactions are perceived as …

The Callisto Myth from Ovid to Atwood: Initiation and Rape in Literature
Kathleen Wall traces the myth through fifteen works of English, American, and Canadian literature, providing a fresh, feminist reading of these narratives. Among the works analysed are selections by Margaret Atwood, Charlotte Bronte, Thomas Hardy, and George Elliot. The resulting text reveals many facets of the realities of women's experience from the Middle Ages to the twentieth century. And ultimately, Wall shows rape to be an expression of dom…
Arms and the Woman: War, Gender, and Literary Representation
Although the themes of women's complicity in and resistance to war have been part of literature from early times, they have not been fully integrated into conventional conceptions of the war narrative. Combining feminist literary criticism with the emerging field of feminist war theory, this collection explores the role of gender as an organizing principle in the war system and reveals how literature perpetuates the ancient myth of arms and the m…
