Design/methodology/approach The study uses a sample of 597…
Field validation and application of the luminex triplex HIV assay to estimate HIV prevalence and HIV-1 incidence in Nigeria
HIV cross-sectional surveys require multi-layered testing with several tests to estimate HIV prevalence and HIV-1 incidence. We evaluated the performance and accuracy of the newly developed HIV Triplex assay to diagnose HIV-1 and HIV-2 and detect HIV-1 recent infections using plasma samples from the 2018 Nigeria AIDS Indicator and Impact Survey (NAIIS). Plasma samples from consenting HIV-positive (n=2,773) and a subset of HIV-negative samples (n=…
Strategies for becoming a more desirable mate

Blossoming From the Mud
Individuals who identify as Two-Spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (2SLGBTQ+) frequently encounter discrimination, stigma, harassment, and violence. Despite the prevailing influences of cis-heteronormative narratives, 2SLGBTQ+ individuals often encounter support, love, kindness, acceptance, and compassion in their everyday lives. The aim of the research was to explore how compassion can be a catalyst for societal change. Throu…
Consumer price effects of deregulated electric generation markets
This study investigates the effects of electric utility restructuring on (a) the cost of generated electricity, (b) increases in the regulated portions of customers' bills, and (c) changes in customers’ average total electricity price in restructured states relative to similar states that remained regulated. The results across the tests indicate that restructured generation markets benefited consumers through lower price growth or price declines.…

Compassionate Discourses
Compassion can be seen as a necessary, but often lacking, concept and practice in healthcare. Due to the cis-heteronormative nature of societies, people who identify as Two-Spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer (2SLGBTQ+) often experience health disparities and disparities in accessing compassionate healthcare. We aimed to explore the meanings of compassion in healthcare for Canadian 2SLGBTQ+ people. Using a poststructuralist framewo…
The Justice of Theory
Do educational theories affect enfranchisement asymmetrically? This article analyses two sets of thinking skills in religious education as apparatuses, taking observations and political documents as a starting point. The thinking skills are described in terms of the roles they allocate, the attention and affect they direct, values and truth-criteria they foster, and the extent to which they make aspects of religion visible and invisible. Taking a…
Sources and citizens
How should pupils use the internet to learn? This essay sets up two modes of using online sources, reading for information and reading for evidence, and evaluates their value for schools. The former is well known; pupils decide whether the source is telling the truth or not. The latter is more familiar in advanced historical investigation, namely deciding what this source’s utterance means for the question in hand. One of these simply hands pupil…
Synlig og usynlig religion
Finnes det systematiske forskjeller mellom hvordan religion illustreres i norske lærebøker i religionsfagene? Denne artikkelen analyserer hvordan bilder uten religionsspesifikke markører fordeles blant kapitler om individuelle religioner i tilgjengelige lærebøker i dag. Bildene som velges ut, viser seg å ofte brukes til å forklare, delvis forsvare, religiøse ideer. Frekvensen av slike bilder er høyest i kapitler om buddhisme, dernest kristendom, …

Strategic Asset Management in the Social Rented Sector
In England and the Netherlands, in response to changes in housing policy and the market, there is widespread enthusiasm for asset management in the social rented sector. A key issue in both countries is the development of a strategic approach towards the formulation of asset management plans. The paper examines this issue in relation to the current practice of housing associations in both countries. Drawing on case studies in England and the Neth…
Lever as a Collector of Archaeology and as a Sponsor of Archaeological Excavations
Lever was interested in archaeological material and he helped to finance excavationsin Egypt and the Sudan. His sponsorship of excavations was affected by the events of his business life between 1996 and 1914. Despite this he formed an archaeological collection, which, though not large, nevertheless contains pieces of important historical value.
Capital Leakage from Owner-Occupied Housing
Capital leakage is defined as the conversion into disposable income of capital invested in housing assets. In debates on the capital demands of owner-occupation, one concern is the extent to which demand for mortgage finance results from the withdrawal of capital from owner-occupied housing and its expenditure elsewhere. The paper centres on an attempt to Quantify the likely dimensions of capital leakage using national statistical sources. Within…
