Recentring Postdigital Education in the Pacific Through a Critical–Ecological Lens
Digital education in Pacific Island Countries (PICs) has been influenced by structures, policies, and funding from the Minority World. However, these promised opportunities fail to account for a context of diversity and culture in PICs contributing to unsustainable educational practices. Drawing from a study on the sustainability of Technology-Enhanced Learning (TEL), this paper examines case studies from an urban and a rural Fijian primary schoo…
Exploring Academic Stress and Coping Experiences Among University Students During the Covid-19 Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted and disrupted higher education worldwide, creating unprecedented challenges for university students. In New Zealand, universities operated under varying pandemic restrictions, requiring students to frequently transition between online and in-person learning. This distinctive context provides a valuable opportunity to examine students’ academic stress and coping strategies during these transitions. …

Drawing o…
Postdigital Citizen Science and Humanities
This collective article presents a theoretical kaleidoscope, the multiple lenses of which are used to examine and critique citizen science and humanities in postdigital contexts and from postdigital perspectives. It brings together 19 short theoretical and experiential contributions, organised into six loose groups which explore areas and perspectives including Indigenous and local knowledge, technology, and children and young people as citizen r…
Content and sentiment surveillance (CSI)
Comprehensive surveillance systems are the key to provide accurate data for effective modeling. Traditional symptom-based case surveillance has been joined with recent genomic, serologic, and environment surveillance to provide more integrated disease surveillance systems. A major gap in comprehensive disease surveillance is to accurately monitor potential population behavioral changes in real-time. Population-wide behaviors such as compliance wi…
Learning during a pandemic
The worldwide disruption of higher education during the Covid-19 pandemic has been studied from the viewpoints of institutions and teachers, with some attention to students’ health and learning challenges. Attempts to theorise the diverse and conflicting challenges faced by students learning online during the pandemic have been limited. It is helpful to analyse students’ experiences as part of an activity system in order to unravel the system’s e…

Police investigators increasingly make use of forensic science in the investigation of crime.While there is considerable research on case outcomes following the use of forensic identification evidence (fingerprint and DNA evidence), few studies have explored how police investigators use these evidence types in their investigations.This study aimed to examine police investigators' reasoning processes about the use of forensic identification eviden…
Dissolving the Dichotomies Between Online and Campus-Based Teaching
This article is a collective response to the 2020 iteration of The Manifesto for Teaching Online . Originally published in 2011 as 20 simple but provocative statements, the aim was, and continues to be, to critically challenge the normalization of education as techno-corporate enterprise and the failure to properly account for digital methods in teaching in Higher Education. The 2020 Manifesto continues in the same critically provocative fashion,…
Who wins? Lessons on the use of innovation prizes to achieve social change for the benefit of the very poorest
Prize giving has grown exponentially, with agencies like the World Bank and USAID using them to help solve critical development challenges in low-income countries. This paper draws on findings from a DFID programme that has been experimenting with a suite of global prizes, including in Ghana, Kenya and Nepal. The paper reflects on prizes used to deliver social change: where they work, why, and for whom. We find that development impact can be enha…
A step towards improving workflow practices for volume crime investigations
The provision of forensic science services in volume crime investigations works most successfully as a partnership between police agencies and external forensic laboratories as opposed to a client/provider model where unlimited demand ignores finite resources. The principles of Lean Six Sigma have been applied in various laboratories to improve workflow through identification of wasteful work practices. These strategies are aimed at process optim…
Using Wikis to teach History Education to 21st Century Learners
This paper argues that history education is becoming dangerously obsolete, as it does not always relate to the contemporary needs of 21st century learners, who often find history useless and irrelevant to their present situation. This challenge is attributed to, among other reasons, the way history is taught through largely lecture-driven pedagogies that significantly reduced active learner engagement. This article draws on Gadamer's Hermeneutic …

A National Study of the Association Between Food Environments and County-Level Health Outcomes
PURPOSE: This national, county-level study examines the relationship between food availability and access, and health outcomes (mortality, diabetes, and obesity rates) in both metro and non-metro areas. METHODS: This is a secondary, cross-sectional analysis using Food Environment Atlas and CDC data. Linear regression models estimate relationships between food availability and access variables (direct-to-consumer farm sales, per capita grocery sto…
Debunking the ‘digital native’
This paper interrogates the currently pervasive discourse of the ‘net generation’ finding the concept of the ‘digital native’ especially problematic, both empirically and conceptually. We draw on a research project of South African higher education students' access to and use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) to show that age is not a determining factor in students' digital lives; rather, their familiarity and experience using …

The Influence of Socioeconomic and Environmental Determinants on Health and Obesity
A recursive system of ordered self assessed health together with BRFSS data were used to investigate health and obesity in the Appalachian state of West Virginia. Implications of unobserved heterogeneity and endogeneity of lifestyle outcomes on health were investigated. Obesity was found to be an endogenous lifestyle outcome associated with impaired health status. Risk of obesity is found to increase at a decreasing rate with per capita income an…

The Effects of Acculturation on Second Language Proficiency in a Community with a Two-Way Bilingual Program
This is a study of why native Spanish speakers (NSSs) in a small town in northern Mexico with a sizable English-speaking minority population and a two-way bilingual program in the schools are developing native-like proficiency in English. A 9% sample of native Spanish-speaking households in the town were selected and members of each household were asked a series of questions relating to Schumann’s acculturation variables. Each subject was also gi…
