Engaging With Children: Why We Must Continue to Learn From Every Study We Undertake
This paper examines researchers’ use of visual methods and arts-based activities, when researching with children who have rare diseases, about their experiences of happiness, fulfilment, and resilience. Their perspectives were sought in order that a tailored ‘Bank of Happiness’ intervention be tested to investigate whether this approach could promote children’s wellbeing and resilience in this setting and applied more widely in the future. In thi…

Assessing the extent of bone bioerosion in short timescales – A novel approach for quantifying microstructural loss
The evaluation of bone diagenetic phenomena in archaeological timescales is well established, but little is known about the extent of bone diagenesis in short forensic timescales. In particular, the use of the Oxford Histological Index (OHI) has become synonymous with assessing bioerosion in archaeological bone samples, but it may not be ideal for use on samples with shorter, forensic post-depositional timescales. Here, we present a novel method …

The impact of Covid‐19 on the delivery of care by Australian primary health care nurses
This qualitative study describes the impact of the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic on the provision of care by Australian primary health care (PHC) nurses. Participants were purposefully recruited following completion of a national survey about PHC nurses' experiences during the pandemic. Twenty-five semi-structured interviews were conducted by two experienced researchers and professionally transcribed. The mean duration of interviews was 38.…
I, Misfit: Empty Fortresses, Social Robots, and Peculiar Relations in Autism Research
I draw upon Critical Disability Studies and Race Critical Code Studies to apply an oppositional reading of applied robotics in autism intervention. Roboticists identify care work as a prime legitimizing application for their creations. Popular imagination of robotics in therapeutic or rehabilitative contexts figures the robot as nurse or orderly. Likewise, the dominant narrative tropes of autism are robotic—misfit androids, denizens of the uncann…
Six Ways of Looking at Fractal Mechanics
In this creative nonfiction essay, I traverse through permutations of “fractal mechanics” as a means of processing experiences of oppression and imagining revolutionary futures. I introduce fractal mechanics as a method for thinking through how “the institution,” broadly understood, travels and transmutes from physical structure localized in place to a set of internalized rule sets that bind themselves to transinstitutionalized “host bodies”—a Ne…
Factors associated with crack-cocaine early initiation: A Brazilian multicenter study
Early onset of crack-cocaine use seems to be associated with exposure to family conflict, easy access to drugs and deviant behavior. Treatment and preventive programs should take these factors into account when designing and implementing community interventions

Falsified Incompetence and Other Lies the Positivists Told Me
Facilitated Communication (FC) is a technique of supported communication for non- speaking people with motor movements commonly understood as spasmodic, dyspraxic, or otherwise unruly. FC is a contentious site of scientific conflict where highly circumscribed quantitative experiments have been unable to reckon with the lived reality of typers. The debate over the efficacy of FC centers around broader arguments of what counts as scientific rigor a…

Advancing Evaluation and Learning on Transformational Change: Lessons From the Climate Investment Funds’ Transformational Change Learning Partnership
Inspiring the transformational changes required to address the climate crisis, as well as other global challenges, requires acting boldly and taking risks. New approaches that integrate transformational change thinking and concepts into evaluations, and that further deepen the nexus of evaluation and learning, are urgently needed. In 2017, Climate Investment Funds established the Transformational Change Learning Partnership (TCLP) within its Eval…
Varför vi är där vi är idag: Samtal med barnmorskor om abortskildringar i litteraturen
This article explores if conversations about literary texts that thematize abortion can provide new knowledge about the clinical everyday practice of midwives. The empirical material consists of conversations with seven clinical midwives after shared reading of a sample of fictional and biographical Swedish texts from the 1930s, 1950s, 1990s, and 2010s. Drawing on theories of power relations, gendered knowledge, and narrative medicine, the articl…
Forensic Science Education and Training: A Tool‐kit for Lecturers and Practitioner Trainers
The establishment of the human taphonomic facility helped drive the interest in human decomposition and boosted the term taphonomy into the forensic science arena. Discussions of human taphonomy began to appear in the forensic literature based upon observations made at the University of Tennessee facility. Forensic taphonomic research within the United Kingdom and Europe has focused on the use of animal models, notably the domestic pig, Sus scrof…

Healthcare professional and interpreter perspectives on working with and caring for non-English speaking families in a tertiary paediatric healthcare setting
Our data show how significant the impact of language barriers can be, and the need to consider not only how communication can be improved, but also how this is situated in the specific context of tertiary paediatric care as well as a wider social context of inequity
Options for Results Monitoring and Evaluation for Resilience Building Operations
Across the world, donors and a broad array of stakeholders are seeking to understand whether climate change adaptation, disaster risk management, and other resilience interventions are working, and what lessons from early implementation of investments can be shared to inform the field and improve results over time. Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) can play an important role in achieving these objectives toward learning, accountability, and improve…

Mundialmente os acidentes de trânsito aparecem como uma das principais causas de morte entre adultos jovens. No Brasil, os acidentes de trânsito são mais prevalentes em condutores de moto do que nos dos demais veículos. Não dispomos, no entanto, de instrumentos para avaliar o comportamento no trânsito em motociclistas. Temos o objetivo de traduzir e adaptar para o português brasileiro o instrumento Motorcycle Rider Behavior Questionnaire (MRBQ). …
Impact of training for healthcare professionals on how to manage an opioid overdose with naloxone: Effective, but dissemination is challenging
Explaining the variation in the management of lifestyle risk factors in primary health care: A multilevel cross sectional study
The findings highlight the importance of provider factors such as beliefs and attitudes, team location and work context in understanding variations in the provision of lifestyle intervention in PHC. Further studies of this type are required to identify variables that improve the proportion of variance explained in assessment practices
Integrated primary health care in Australia
Careful change management and realistic expectations will be needed. Also other challenges remain, in particular the need for developing a more population and community oriented primary health care
Disciplining animals: Sentience, Production, and Critique
This essay critiques the assertion that an appreciation of animal sentience necessarily runs counter to their exploitation as industrial resources. It is argued that the U.S. meatpacking industry has consistently engaged animals as sentient creatures in order to elicit behavior that enhances manufacturing efficiency. This discipline of animals in and around the packing plant is exemplified in Temple Grandin’s “humane” slaughter technologies. The …
