Structured, merit-based selection of radiology chief residents; a single center experience
Chief residents play a pivotal leadership role in postgraduate medical education. However, traditional seniority-based or informal selection practices may inadvertently miss out on essential qualities such as leadership and communication skills, professionalism, and peer trust. Evidence-based, merit-driven selection models in radiology, particularly from low- and middle-income country settings, remain scarce.Residents prioritize leadership, commu…
Experiences of housing interventions among survivors of intimate partner violence
Experiences of homelessness and intimate partner violence (IPV) frequently intersect for women, yet evidence-based interventions that address both issues simultaneously remain limited. This study (a) systematically reviewed and meta-synthesized qualitative research exploring women's experiences with housing interventions for survivors of IPV and (b) integrated findings with a recent systematic review of quantitative evaluations. We conducted a co…
Exploring the integration of arts-informed methods in self-harm research
This paper demonstrates both the value of arts-informed methods in general and their specific utility when studying young people's resilience in response to self-harm
Does Governance Matter in Educational Outcomes? A Panel Data Analysis of BRICS Nations
This study examines the impact of the quality of state governance on selected educational outcomes in BRICS countries from 2011 to 2022. It employed the Worldwide Governance Indicators to assess the six dimensions of governance. Proxies for the quality of education outcomes include the gross enrollment ratio in tertiary education, government expenditures o education, employability, and global competitiveness. The random effect model revealed a st…
Un/heard, un/informed, un/involved
Children have the right to be heard in child protection proceedings. However, in social work, young people receiving protective services are often perceived as vulnerable and in need of protection, an attitude which prevents young people from participating in making important decisions that affect their lives. In this article, child participation in child welfare services (CWS) is explored through qualitative interviews with thirty-three young pe…
Social system dynamics and community resilience
This research uses both quantitative and qualitative research methodologies to examine the complex factors affecting community resilience in various settings. In this case, the research explores how social cohesion, governance effectiveness, adaptability, community involvement, and the specified difficulties influence resilience results by using the five pillars of resilience as variables. Descriptive and inferential statistics are used to test h…
Tawakkul Mediates Between Personality Traits, Depression, and Anxiety in Pakistani Muslim Adults
Development and Validation of Apeiroanxiety Scale in the Context of the Afterlife for Pakistani Muslim Adults
Development and validation of Unsuccessful Disengagement Aging Scale (Udas) for older adults
The present study aimed to develop a precise and reliable measure of unsuccessful disengagement among older adults, defined as involuntary withdrawal from societal roles and norms due to familial or societal pressure, resulting in the transfer of responsibilities to the younger generation. High scores on the Unsuccessful Disengagement Aging Scale (UDAS) were indicative of a greater degree of unsuccessful disengagement. The study was conducted in …

Caregiver abuse screen for older adults
Steeped in Oil”
Oil and gas-producing communities are threatened by a precarious oil market and global commitments to transition to a greener economy. Economic diversification has been proposed as a potential strategy for supporting the resilience of these communities amidst such challenges. We sought to explore community members’ attitudes toward the future of their small oil and gas-producing Canadian community to understand the socio-psychological factors and…
Association between temperature exposure and cognition
We noted adverse cognitive associations with cold temperatures in traditionally warmer regions of the country and improved cognition in summer and early fall seasons. While we did not observe very large significant associations, this study deepens understanding of the impact of climate change on the cognitive health of aging adults and can inform clinical care and public health preparedness plans
Can Neighborhood Social Infrastructure Modify Cognitive Function? A Mixed-Methods Study of Urban-Dwelling Aging Americans
Objectives: Socialization predicts cognitive aging outcomes. Neighborhoods may facilitate socially engaged aging and thus shape cognition. We investigated places where older adults socialized and whether availability of these sites was associated with cognitive outcomes. Methods: Qualitative analysis of interviews and ethnography with 125 older adults (mean age 71 years) in Minneapolis identified where participants socialized outside of home. Thi…
Family as a source of risk and resilience among adults with a history of childhood adversity
Weather Woes? Exploring Potential Links between Precipitation and Age-Related Cognitive Decline
Rain, snow, or ice may discourage older adults from leaving their homes with potential consequences for social isolation, decreased physical activity, and cognitive decline. This study is the first to examine potential links between annual precipitation exposure and cognitive function in a large population-based cohort of older Americans. We examined the association between precipitation (percent of days with snow or rain in the past year) and co…
Culturally-adapted behavioral intervention to improve colorectal cancer screening uptake among foreign-born South Asians in New Jersey
Objectives: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer among Americans of South Asian (SA) descent and is a significant public health concern in SA communities. Rates of screening compliance among foreign-born SAs are very low. The goal of this study was to report on the development, acceptability, and preliminary impact of a culturally-targeted 1:1 intervention delivered in English, Hindi, and Urdu, called Desi-Sehat. Design: Ninety…
Antioxidant defense and oxidative damage vary widely among high‐altitude residents
OBJECTIVES: People living at high altitude experience unavoidable low oxygen levels (hypoxia). While acute hypoxia causes an increase in oxidative stress and damage despite higher antioxidant activity, the consequences of chronic hypoxia are poorly understood. The aim of the present study is to assess antioxidant activity and oxidative damage in high-altitude natives and upward migrants. METHODS: Individuals from two indigenous high-altitude popu…
Socioeconomic gradients in all-cause, premature and avoidable mortality among immigrants and long-term residents using linked death records in Ontario, Canada
BACKGROUND: Immigrants have been shown to possess a health advantage, yet are also more likely to reside in arduous economic conditions. Little is known about if and how the socioeconomic gradient for all-cause, premature and avoidable mortality differs according to immigration status. METHODS: Using several linked population-based vital and demographic databases from Ontario, we examined a cohort of all deaths in the province between 2002 and 20…
Manmade Environment and the Risk of Acquiring Dengue in the Northeastern Part of India
Human ecology sometimes influences upon the abundance of some of the disease transmitting insect vectors. Studies conducted to know the prevalence of potential dengue vectors in the Northeastern part of India re veal that in urban, industrial and semiurban environment, the preponderance of the potential dengue vectors arc found to be considerably high. It is observed that the situations in which these Aedes mosquitoes survive or reproduce are cre…
