An Oral Health Promotion Strategy for Persons With Intellectual and Developmental Disability: An Exploratory Randomized Trial Comparing Intervention and Control Group Homes
Findings demonstrate that skills-based, experiential training with coaching can be effective in enhancing skill sets and increasing behaviors about oral health among DSP. In addition, results showed that the strategy used can improve oral health outcomes for residents. However, given that there were only improved outcomes in residents' lower anterior sextant, more research is needed to determine how to adequately assess and improve resident outco…
The Efficacy of Drug Treatment in Afghanistan: Overall Results and Implications From a New Evaluation
Literature, Museums, and National Identity; or, Why are there So Many Writers' House Museums in Britain
Writers' houses constitute the largest and oldest segment of historic house museums dedicated to famous persons in the United Kingdom. Litterateurs tend to ascribe ‘lit houses’ to the ineffable magic of readers' connections to writers. By contrast, my analysis deploys the analytic of cultural politics to suggest that writers' house museums can more fully be understood as assertions of national identity. The elision of language with national disti…

Gender differences in Afghan drug-abuse treatment: An assessment of treatment entry characteristics, dropout, and outcomes
Results provide preliminary evidence for potential treatment success of women-tailored DAT programming in Afghanistan. Results also indicate that DAT appears to be successful among Afghan men; however, lower positive outcomes for men when compared to women suggest that more efforts should focus on tailoring DAT programming to the specific needs of Afghan men as well. Study limitations are addressed, and important policy implications are discussed

Communication and Public Opinion: Plus Ca Change
Three central themes that have persisted throughout the history of research on communication and public opinion are examined in light of past, present, and future research. These themes include (1) ongoing concerns surrounding the political diversity of the communication environment; (2) selective exposure to political communication; and (3) the interrelationship between mass and interpersonal political communication. We explore the importance of…

Portals Into Poetry: Using Generative Writing Groups to Facilitate Student Engagement With Word Art

Is There a Museum in the House? Historic Houses as a Species of Museum
n\t\t\t\t\tThe historic house museum exemplifies the enormous power of the museum idea to make specimens out of the material world. In fact, houses are an old museum form, very numerous and globally spread. This paper surveys the diverse inspirations of the species, its peculiar expressions, and its formative/deformative relationship to the English country house, via case studies in the UK, the US, and Australia. The paper identifies a characteri…

Villages that Never Were: The Museum Village as a Heritage Genre
Villages of relocated buildings now constitute a phenomenon of the world’s repertoire of heritage. They go by a multitude of names depending on particular inflection: open air museum, folk museum, living history museum, heritage village, museum village and so forth. 1 [1] On the range of villages, see Thompson, ‘The Social Significance of Folk Museums’; Marshall, ‘Folklife and the Rise of American Folk Museums’; Leon and Piatt, ‘Living History Mu…
A House in History, Heritage and Tourism: Shifting Times at Blundell's Cottage, Canberra
The history of history's institutions can offer a gritty context in which to understand historical production. A wide spectrum of influences, from the personal to the intellectual to the political, can be seen at work in shaping the history made and communicated at Blundell's Cottage over the years. Even though it has always been a humble participant in the project of history, its products probably reach some of history's larger audiences. Hence …
Extensive, economical and elegant’: The habitus of gentility in early nineteenth century Sydney
This paper challenges the modern expectation that mahogany furniture and silver cutlery were self‐evident indicators of gentry status in colonial Sydney through close analysis of a bundle of middle class household inventories of the 1840s. They are considered as evidence of habitus—the structuring interaction of mentality with the material world—in order to demonstrate the active principle of consumption in the claim or assertion of bourgeois sta…

Antarctica in museums: The Mawson collections in Australia
The relics of polar exploration are treasured in the museums of a multitude of nations. In Australia, the focus of most such collections is Sir Douglas Mawson and his expeditions to Antarctica in 1911–14 and 1929–31. The nature of these collections divides into the two large categories of scientific specimens and expedition relics. The latter are spread among Australian and other museums in a distribution that speaks of fascination with the exoti…
Globalisation, culture and museums: A review of theory
The cultural dimensions of globalisation will have, indeed are already having, a profound impact on the rationale of museums and on their everyday operations. Large questions about globalisation, cultural domination or assimilation, and the survival of cultural diversity affect museums' policies for collection and exhibition. The deterritorialisation of the nation‐state challenges the status of national museums, yet it is notable that national mu…

Museums, heritage, and things that fall in-between
Australian museums and heritage agencies have bifurcated the management of cultural heritage material into the categories of artefacts and places. This paper argues that this is not only an unnecessary and undesirable separation, but one which misunderstands the essential concept of cultural heritage, as well as allowing some material to fall between the two authorities, with the result that it is often cared for by neither. As a postscript, it f…

Westralian Mining Brooches: Commemoration of a Technology
Lucky diggers from Ballarat to Kalgoorlie traditionally celebrated their successes with champagne. The extravagance of importing champagne-be it vintage French or a speedily run-up colonial brew-to the uttermost diggings was both salute and testimony to the magical glory of a lucky discovery. Such grand gestures were commemorated in report, memoir, song, sketch, and anecdote. But, after the binge was over, many a digger engaged in another commemo…

Significance, connoisseurship and facilitation: New techniques for assessing museum acquisitions
Assessments of tourist customer demand, their motivations, preferences, and their willingness to pay (WTP) a (comparatively slightly) higher ticket price for a more environmentally benign excursion service can provide important information for investors and operators. Information on WTP is also important for the optimization of marketing stategies and for local tourism or environment policy makers. In the scope of their empirical case study, the …
Material Life in South Australia
Material Life in South Australia The acquisition and use of goods constitutes one meaning of the term consumption. It is a concept colored with multiple meanings, including the pathological implication of waste and destruction, as well as the moral burden of desire for material possessions. The modern sense of the word-owning and using a large number of personal and household goods-developed out of the eighteenth-century productive capacity of in…
