Can low-income people afford life satisfaction? The modifying effect of personality traits, a cross-sectional study
The aim was to investigate whether the "Big Five" personality traits modify the association between household income and life satisfaction (LF); and to evaluate the interaction and main effects of personality traits and income on LF. Data from the Dental Care and Oral Health Study (DCOHS, 2015–2016) was used for the cross-sectional study (n = 3,475). Multivariable Poisson regression models (adjusted for demographics and health behaviours) assesse…
Dental service sector and patient-reported oral health outcomes

The possible interaction effect of trust on this association was also explored. Methods Randomly selected adults aged over 18 years living in South Australia were surveyed using self-administered questionnaires. The outcome variables were self-rated dental health and the evaluation outcome of the …
Beyond Profit-Led versus Investment-Led Capitalism
Capitalist production and distribution processes change over time. Despite these changes, many heterodox theorists still view the economy largely in terms of profit-led or investment-led dynamics, which they attribute to the insights of Karl Marx and Michał Kalecki. This essay argues that these thinkers’ theoretical perspectives were more flexible than today’s theorists, adaptable to a changing capitalism. Marx and Kalecki explicitly entertained …
Evaluation of the Ecohis and the Caries-QC among an Australian “Aboriginal” population
Having fewer than 21 teeth associated with poorer general health among South Australians
Missing teeth was associated with poor general health status as measured by EQ-5D-5L disutility. The relationship was especially evident with respect to mobility and pain/discomfort. The findings emphasize the importance of oral health as predictors of general health
Pre- and post-training evaluation of dental efficacy and activation measures in carers of adults with disabilities in South Australia - a pilot study
The aim of this pilot study was to train carers to provide oral care for adults with disabilities and to evaluate the training programme. Forty-one carers of 103 care recipients from three disability organisations in South Australia were trained in providing oral care for adults with disabilities (April 2013-April 2014). The training included an oral presentation and practical session by a special needs dentist on completing oral health assessmen…
The determinants of dentists' productivity and the measurement of output
Planes of illusion
Mainstream commercial cinema’s increasing access to highly advanced computer-generated imagery (CGI) has allowed it to produce convincing evocations of places and experiences that increasingly blur the line between the represented ‘real’ of actual locations and digitally generated fictional spaces. This article discusses one such evocation: the spectacular cave system featured in the film Sanctum (2011), directed by Alister Grierson. The first pa…
A bed of roses
Purpose – This study sought to gain a better understanding of the general life experiences of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) newcomer youth, situated within the broader context of their lives post-migration. The purpose of this paper is to explore the nature of various forms of oppression experienced by LGBT newcomers and offers recommendations for transforming services to better serve the complex needs of this marginalized populat…
If Class Transformation Can Happen There, It Can Happen
Catherine Mulder's Unions and Class Transformation: The Case of the Broadway Musicians brings the New Marxian Class Analysis to issues facing Broadway musicians today. Here, I summarize some of the main contributions of the book and critically engage with a few of the key elements of her analysis. The book is full of interesting details concerning how a musical is organized, the complicated contractual arrangements involved, and the working condi…
The Bull-of-Last-Resort
The dramatic purchase of corporate equities by the U.S. government in 2008 marks a distinct change in the way crises are handled. While many fear that this represents a move toward socialism, others look forward to the progressive possibilities. This paper argues that the policy of massively purchasing stocks is an attempt to provide support for equity values when no other bull could be found. This policy was used because high share values provid…
Defending the Indefensible? Culture's Role in the Productive/Unproductive Dichotomy
The purpose of this article is to reveal the justifications for different production boundaries historically. It finds that the boundaries were and are predicated on an untenable productive/unproductive dichotomy that was justified on select and shifting cultural norms. Furthermore, the production boundary informed other categories like labor, capital, income, and wealth. Hence, this article exposes the degree to which economic categories were an…
