Barriers and contributions of rural community health workers in enabling cancer early detection and subsequent care in India: A qualitative study
CHWs in rural India face significant personal, community, and health system barriers while facilitating cancer early detection services and subsequent follow up. Addressing these barriers through tailored training, enhanced health infrastructure, and community-based interventions can improve cancer care access and outcomes in rural settings. Future policies should focus on strengthening CHW-led approaches and addressing the systemic barriers in c…
Preventing early childhood transmission of hepatitis B in remote Aboriginal communities in northern Australia
Chronic hepatitis B in this context is a sensitive issue, with a high proportion of women refusing consent. Although uncommon, there is ongoing transmission of hepatitis B to Aboriginal children in remote northern Australia despite vaccination, and this is likely occurring by both vertical and horizontal routes. Prevention will require ongoing investment to overcome the many barriers experienced by this population in accessing care
Adaptation of Intercultural Sensitivity Scale for Turkish medical students
Health care professions, especially physicians and physician candidates should be more competent in culture-specific approach. This study aims to verify the validity and reliability of the “Intercultural Sensitivity Scale” developed by Chen and Starosta (which is the most frequently-used tool while conducting the intercultural sensitivity research) among Turkish medical students. In order to demonstrate the construct validity of the scale, explor…
I'm just asking you to keep an ear out: Parents' and children's perspectives on caregiving and community support in the context of migration to Canada
International migration to North America continues to rise, and with it the meeting of different cultural norms surrounding child caregiving and supervision. Previous research shows that high rates of reporting of supervisory neglect involving migrant families may partly result from these different norms and challenges particular to the migrant context. In this study, five focus groups were conducted with migrant caregivers (n = 19) and children …
The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on cancer deaths due to delays in diagnosis in England, UK: A national, population-based, modelling study
BACKGROUND: Since a national lockdown was introduced across the UK in March, 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, cancer screening has been suspended, routine diagnostic work deferred, and only urgent symptomatic cases prioritised for diagnostic intervention. In this study, we estimated the impact of delays in diagnosis on cancer survival outcomes in four major tumour types. METHODS: In this national population-based modelling study, we us…

Covid-19 and the Rise of Participatory Sigint: An Examination of the Rise in Government Surveillance Through Mobile Applications
The COVID-19 pandemic has triggered a significant growth in government surveillance techniques globally, primarily through the use of cell phone applications. However, although these applications can have actionable effects on public health efforts to control pandemics, the participatory or voluntary nature of these measures is obscuring the relationship between health information and traditional government surveillance techniques, potentially pr…

Eradicating polio in Pakistan: An analysis of the challenges and solutions to this security and health issue
Since the launch of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI) in 1988 the global incidence of poliomyelitis has fallen by nearly 99 %. From a situation where wild type poliovirus was endemic in 125 countries across five continents, transmission is now limited to regions of just three countries - Pakistan, Afghanistan and Nigeria. A sharp increase in Pakistan's poliomyelitis cases in 2014 prompted the International Health Regulations Emergenc…
An assessment of the barriers to accessing the Basic Package of Health Services (BPHS) in Afghanistan: Was the BPHS a success
Afghanistan is one of the most fragile and conflict-affected countries in the world. It has experienced almost uninterrupted conflict for the last thirty years, with the present conflict now lasting over a decade. With no history of a functioning healthcare system, the creation of the Basic Package of Health Services (BPHS) in 2003 was a response to Afghanistan's dire health needs following decades of war. Its objective was to provide a bare mini…

Why the Labor Movement is Not a Movement
vened, and a new language of labor revitalization emerged. A dominant theme in this discourse has been the idea that to regain the power it once had as the voice for the working class, organized labor must become a movement again. Many observers promoted social movement unionism as a neces sary and welcomed departure from the old model of business unionism. Commentators used the rhetoric of social movements while exploring ways that unions could …
Labour market or labour movement? The union density bias as barrier to labour renewal
Most labour scholars view the unionised share of the labour market, union density, as the movement's primary source of power. Conversely, social movement scholars usually consider power embedded in disruption, organisational networks, resources, or political opportunities. Although many labour scholars promote 'social movement unionism' to reverse labour's decline, they have largely failed to adopt a thoroughgoing social movement perspective. A s…
Organizing Workers in the Space between Unions: Union-Centric Labor Revitalization and the Role of Community-Based Organizations
Labor scholars tend to treat unions as the movement's constitutive organizational form. This practice excludes the movement-building efforts of community-based labor groups operating outside of the collective bargaining framework. This article examines the 'union-centric' character of sociological work on the contemporary US labor movement and explores the impact it has on analyses of its revitalization. Drawing on a case-study of the Garment Wor…
The Politics and Ethics of Same-Sex Adoption
While Canada's Civil Marriage Act assures same-sex couples the right to equality of treatment before the law and challenges provincial authority to make revisions in areas of family policy that abrogate that equality, there is a long way to go before that legislation can ensure equality of treatment by the many professions with legislative mandates to serve families. This study reports on unexpected findings from a study of barriers to adoption i…
Density Matters: The Union Density Bias and its Implications for Labor Movement Revitalization
After more than a decade of analyzing efforts to revitalize the U.S. labor movement, many have concluded that organized labor must become a movement again. Nevertheless, most analyses remain based on the traditional view that labor power is derived solely from the portion of the labor market that is unionized. This fact is illustrated by the continued use of union density as the primary means of assessing labor movement strength. This article exa…

Ancient Coins of the Graeco-Roman World. The Nickle Numismatic Papers
Through the ages, coins have been more than a common standard or a means of exchange between peoples for goods and services. The development of coinage gave men freedom to move beyond their communities, served as a propaganda tool for advancing armies and visually showed people the source of politics which governed their lives. Today, these same bits of metal, these ancient video disks, transmit through time information that might otherwise be lo…
Cultural Dilemmas of Progressive Politics: Styles of Engagement among Grassroots Activists
Despite there having been no significant move to the right in recent years in public political opinion, conservatives have fared much better than progressives. This text explores the reasons for this pattern through examination of case studies of grassroots movements. The book focuses particularly on the economic justice work carried on by congregation-based community organizing and the pursuit of human rights by local members of Amnesty Internat…
