Modifiable Dementia Risk Factors by Country of Birth among South Asian Migrants Aged 50 or Older in Tasmania, Australia
A comparison of modifiable risk factors for dementia among South Asian migrants and non-migrants aged 50 or older in Tasmania, Australia
The risk profiles were different between South Asian migrants and non-migrant Australians, highlighting the need for targeted interventions addressing group-specific risk factors. However, the use of convenience sampling for the South Asian migrant group may limit the representativeness of the findings and affect their generalizability. However, the use of convenience sampling and the relatively small sample size of the South Asian migrant group …
The Parkinson's Puzzle Box
INTRODUCTION: Women and those with younger onset Parkinson's Disease (YOPD) are typically diagnosed later and face unique situations and challenges. This essay aims to raise awareness of the difficulties in diagnosing YOPD and the need for a personalised approach to care for women with YOPD. METHODS: Two professional women with YOPD (academic physiotherapist and practicing dentist) and a female neurologist (clinician academic) came together to wr…
An online, public health framework supporting behaviour change to reduce dementia risk
The ISLAND framework and interventions, a personalised DRP report and the four-week PDMOOC, work independently and synergistically to increase dementia risk knowledge and stimulate health behaviour change for dementia risk reduction. ISLAND offers a feasible and scalable public health approach for redressing the rising prevalence of dementia
Health at the writing desk of John Ruskin
Though John Ruskin (1819-1900) is remembered principally for his work as a theorist, art critic and historian of visual culture, he wrote exhaustively about his health in his correspondence and diaries. Ruskin was prone to recurring depressive and hypochondriacal feelings in his youth and adulthood. In 1871, at the age of 52 years, he developed an illness with relapsing psychiatric and neurological features. He had a series of attacks of brain di…
Navigating through Compositional Space
This paper discusses some aspects of the traditional compositional process in music. The process is likened to a planning or navigational task and is described through a concept borrowed from the Artificial Intelligence field: the idea of a state space within which a rule-based system operates. The concept of musical state space is postulated and the compositional process described in terms of moves through this space using different planning hor…
An Application of the Birmingham Discourse Analysis System to the Study of Computer Guidance Interactions
University researchers need to use computers in their work yet they are not computer professionals and are not able to progress efficiently without adequate guidance. All British universities make such computer-use guidance available, the most important source of information being the advisory service of the local computer center. However, little is known of the structure and effectiveness of advisory interactions. The analysis of advisory conver…
