Birth outcomes and survival by sex among newborns and children under 2 in the Birhan Cohort
Introduction Despite the progress in reducing child mortality, the rate remains high, particularly in sub-Saharan African countries. Limited data exist on child survival and other birth outcomes by sex. This study compared survival rates and birth outcomes by sex among neonates and children under 2 in Ethiopia. Methods Women who gave birth after 28 weeks of gestation and their newborns were included in the analysis. Survival probabilities were es…
Delivering community-based social work
Community-based harm reduction workshops are delivered to reduce a range of community-based risks. In this instance, a community-based non-government organisation (NGO) delivered workshops to 18 villages in a rural setting in Cambodia. This article presents the approach to the delivery of these workshops. The article explores a journey of learning for the community, local authorities and delivering NGO when moving from a more traditional approach…
Physical distancing messages targeting youth on the social media accounts of Canadian public health entities and the use of behavioral change techniques
There is a need for more PD messaging that explicitly targets youth. BCTs should be used when designing posts to deliver public health messages and social media platforms should be selected depending on the target population
Necessary Boundary Crossings in Pediatrics
To help a seriously ill young patient whose normal childhood has been disrupted, pediatricians must be more than sympathetic professionals in white coats—they must know how to motivate each patient and then go the extra mile to do so
Making Noise in The Roaring ’Twenties
The Internet offers an unprecedented bounty of historic sound recordings, and the opportunity to listen in on the past has never been greater. But online sound archives also present new challenges. Public history websites must recover the meaning of sound as well as sound itself, and thereby engender a historicized mode of listening that tunes modern ears to the pitch of the past. The Roaring ’Twenties website attempts this via an interactive mul…

"I Sing the Body Electric"
Historians of technology have become increasingly interested in the realm of sound, in music and audio technology. Hans-Joachim Braun's volume offers a rich collection of essays by an international roster of historians and musicologists who explore manifold relationships between technology and music in the twentieth century. Originating in presentations at the 1996 conference of the International Committee for the History of Technology in Budapes…

TECHNOLOGY AND CULTURE Book Reviews 167 terns. She explores the introduction of showers, stationary basin bowls and sinks, hoppers, and pan water closets into homes across America. Ogle notes that the wide array of choices is often masked by a paucity oflanguage, as “privy,” “necessary,” and “water closet” were used interchangeably in contemporary accounts. While she does not address effectively the degree to which they were adopted across Americ…

America on Record
256 Book Reviews TECHNOLOGY AND CULTURE forces won the war, and control of public transit in Rhode Island remained the prerogative of the URC. This book is largely a study of Rhode Island’s labor and urban political history, but those who are interested in the social ramifica tions of technology will also find it a useful work. The specifics of instituting electric streetcars, their technological profiles, and ac companying infrastructural chan…

Dead Rooms and Live Wires
In 1900 Wallace Sabine, a physicist at Harvard University, published a mathematical formula for calculating the reverberation time in a room, a measure of how quickly or slowly sound energy dies away in an enclosed space. In 1930 Carl Eyring, a physicist working in the Sound Motion Picture Studio at Bell Telephone Laboratories, revised Sabine's equation. This essay examines material changes in the practice of architectural acoustics in order to e…

TECHNOLOGY AND CULTURE Book Reviews 425 To provide perspective on what the telephone did and did not do, the examination of the telephone is paralleled by a less detailed survey of the historical diffusion of the automobile. This is a meaningful comparison, for both can be seen as examples of space-compressing technologies that gained widespread acceptance, although at different rates of adoption (it is rather surprising to read that, during the …
