Unintentional paediatric paracetamol overdose: A retrospective observational study of dosing errors reported to an Australian Poisons Information Centre
Paracetamol poisoning is the leading cause of paediatric acute liver failure in Australia. This study aimed to describe patterns and characteristics of unintentional paracetamol overdose in children, with a focus on dosing errors, reported to Australia’s largest Poisons Information Centre. Records regarding unintentional paracetamol overdose for individuals aged < 12 years old were extracted from the New South Wales Poisons Information Centre dat…
Cultivating collective imagination beyond crisis
What might be required for us to inhabit a present defined by crises and collectively imagine a hopeful future? This paper explores some of the ways in which the dominance of crisis framings in contemporary life might shape our ability to ‘imagine together’, and identifies a burgeoning body of work aligned with the concerns of spiritual ecology, that endeavours to cultivate the field of our collective imagination as an act of deep meaning-making.…
Has there been an increase in nitrous oxide use and associated harms in Australia? An analysis of triangulated data sources, 2003–2020
Hospital admissions for paracetamol poisoning declined following codeine re-scheduling in Australia
Codeine re-scheduling in Australia appears to have reduced paracetamol poisoning-related hospital admissions
Transforming imaginations? Multiple dimensionalities and temporalities as vital complexities in transformations to sustainability
Through interlinked theoretical and empirical analysis, this paper explores some important but neglected questions concerning efforts to achieve sustainability. To what extents do currently dominant forms of academic study and policy visions in this field, satisfactorily address the full political depth and scope of vital complexities in pathways for emerging social transformations? Are there dangers that common simplifications in mainstream ways…

Imagining urban transformation in Kenya
This paper examines the diverse ways in which science and technology are implicated in collective imaginations of urban futures in Kenya. Despite calls for a ‘deep reimagining’ of African urbanisation (UN Habitat 2014), globalised narratives of urban ‘smartness’ are intersecting with pan-African tendencies toward top-down Master Planning to constrain spaces for collective imagining of urban futures. Using the conceptual lens of sociotechnical ima…
Collaboration, creativity, conflict and chaos: Doing interdisciplinary sustainability research
How do the social dynamics within interdisciplinary research teams shape sustainability research? This paper presents a case study of interdisciplinary research projects at the University of Sussex, as part of a programme aimed at encouraging collaborative work to address intersections between the Sustainability Development Goals. Using data gathered during a series of participatory workshops at the start and end of the projects, combined with no…
Paediatric poisoning in rural Sri Lanka: An epidemiological study
In rural districts of Sri Lanka, acute paediatric poisoning cases were less frequent and less severe compared to adult poisoning cases (426-446 per 100,000 population). The incidence of poisoning was significantly higher among young children with compared to old children. In this study, deliberate self-poisoning among older children was more frequently seen than in other comparable countries. Because most of the admissions are directed to and man…

Anatomy of a buzzword: The emergence of ‘the water-energy-food nexus’ in UK natural resource debates
Climates of suspicion: Chemtrail' Conspiracy Narratives and the International Politics of Geoengineering
Concurrent with growing academic and policy interest in 'geoengineering' the global climate in response to climate change, a more marginal discourse postulating the existence of a climate control conspiracy is also proliferating on the Internet. Here, the term 'chemtrails' is used interchangeably with the term geoengineering to describe the belief that the persistent contrails left by aeroplanes provide evidence that a secret programme of large-s…
Climate geoengineering: Issues of path‐dependence and socio‐technical lock‐in
As academic and policy interest in climate geoengineering grows, the potential irreversibility of technological developments in this domain has been raised as a pressing concern. The literature on socio‐technical lock‐in and path dependence is illuminating in helping to situate current concerns about climate geoengineering and irreversibility in the context of academic understandings of historical socio‐technical development and persistence. This…
Maintaining planetary systems’ or ‘concentrating global power?’ High stakes in contending framings of climate geoengineering
Lost in the problem: The role of boundary organisations in the governance of climate change
In this article, we explore how climate change science is connected to climate change governance. When formally institutionalized, as in Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change ( IPCC ) or UN Framework Convention on Climate Change ( UNFCCC ), these sites may be referred to as boundary organizations . These institutions engage not only in the quality assessment of scientific research, but also in the design of innovative policy instruments, or e…
