Introduction to special issue: Indigenous dementia research insights: An interdisciplinary and community-based approach
The Special Issue, “Indigenous Dementia Research Insights: An Interdisciplinary and Community-Based Approach” showcases innovative research being conducted by and with Indigenous communities across the globe to address Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (AD/ADRD). The papers included here span AD/ADRD intervention work, tool validation, and epidemiology among Indigenous Peoples globally. While this area of research is still nascent, these …
Wiinaadmowing Etchi Piitzijig Enda’aat: Helping Elders Where They Live
The response to the COVID-19 pandemic limited socializing and connecting, impacting the ability of Elders to pass on guidance and leadership through culturally specific ways. Community-level supports are vital for older adults living in First Nation communities, particularly supports that are inclusive, accessible, private, and confidential, and those that promote visiting, connecting, and culture, offer opportunities for outings, and use many av…
Holocene relative sea-level rise of the Delaware Estuary, USA
Holocene relative sea level (RSL) rise of the mid-Atlantic United States is dominated by two processes: ice-equivalent sea-level changes and Glacial Isostatic Adjustment (GIA) driven vertical land motion. Interpreting Holocene RSL processes in the Delaware Estuary is limited by the availability of RSL data: just 26% of 49 published sea-level index points (SLIPs) were older than 3000 years BP. Here, we extend the RSL history of the Delaware Estuar…
Cultural and contextual relevance of the Indigenous data in the Canadian longitudinal study on aging
We use this community consultation process to provide recommendations for the appropriate use of the Indigenous-identified data in the CLSA, and we conclude by recommending great caution when using the data from the Indigenous subsample in the CLSA data
Colonial drivers and cultural protectors of brain health among Indigenous peoples internationally
Despite relatively higher rates of dementia among Indigenous populations internationally, research into drivers of disparities in brain health and cognitive function has tended to focus on modifiable risk factors over cultural understandings and contextual determinants. By seeking to characterize social and cultural factors that shape brain health and cognition in Indigenous populations, this mini scoping review expands prevailing schools of thou…

Incorporating equity, diversity, and inclusion into the epidemiology and biostatistics curriculum: A workshop report and implementation strategies recommendations
Indigenous-specific cultural safety within health and dementia care: A scoping review of reviews
Globally, health inequities experienced by Indigenous communities are often described and documented in terms of deficits and disease. However, health disparities are complex and involve numerous underlying issues beyond the social determinants of health. Indigenous Peoples face unique barriers to accessing culturally safe and equitable healthcare, including racism, systemic injustice, and a historical legacy of colonialism. There is a paucity of…
Wellness in the Face of Frailty Among Older Adults in First Nations Communities
Our findings provide a profile of strength and wellness among older First Nations adults living with frailty
A 5000-year record of relative sea-level change in New Jersey, USA
Stratigraphic data from salt marshes provide accurate reconstructions of Holocene relative sea-level (RSL) change and necessary constraints to models of glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA), which is the dominant cause of Late-Holocene RSL rise along the U.S. mid-Atlantic coast. Here, we produce a new Mid- to Late-Holocene RSL record from a salt marsh bordering Great Bay in southern New Jersey using basal peats. We use a multi-proxy approach (foram…
Therapist Interruptions: An Examination of Gender and Therapeutic Alliance in Couple Therapy
Alliance is an important predictor of therapy outcomes, and studies examining in-therapy processes that contribute to alliance are needed. This study examines the relationship between interruptions and therapeutic alliance in couple therapy. First sessions of couple therapy from a university-based clinic were coded to examine the frequency of interruptions in therapy. Interruption frequency, interruption target, and subsequent measures of therape…

Applications of Two-Eyed Seeing in Primary Research Focused on Indigenous Health: A Scoping Review
Mi’kmaq Elder Albert Marshall coined “Two-Eyed Seeing” in 2004, an Indigenous concept that emphasizes integrating the strengths of multiple perspectives to address complex challenges in ways that benefit all. In 2011, Two-Eyed Seeing became a policy of the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR)–Institute of Aboriginal Peoples’ Health, as a part of its 5-year plan, and in 2012, CIHR funding was directed toward supporting efforts that apply …
Salt-Marsh Foraminiferal Distributions from Mainland Northern Georgia, USA: An Assessment of Their Viability for Sea-Level Studies
We investigated foraminiferal distributions from two salt-marsh sites at Thunderbolt and Georgetown, in mainland northern Georgia, U.S. Atlantic coast. We analyzed modern epifaunal foraminiferal assemblages across multiple transects consisting of 54 surface samples. Multivariate statistical analysis (Partitioning Around Medoids and Detrended Correspondence Analysis) revealed that dead foraminiferal assemblages are divided into three faunal zones,…
Respiration of aged soil carbon during fall in permafrost peatlands enhanced by active layer deepening following wildfire but limited following thermokarst
Permafrost peatlands store globally significant amounts of soil organic carbon (SOC) that may be vulnerable to climate change. Permafrost thaw exposes deeper, older SOC to microbial activity, but SOC vulnerability to mineralization and release as carbon dioxide is likely influenced by the soil environmental conditions that follow thaw. Permafrost thaw in peat plateaus, the dominant type of permafrost peatlands in North America, occurs both throug…
It is written all over your face: Socially rejected people display microexpressions that are detectable after training in the Micro Expression Training Tool (Mett)
Social rejection is a powerful negative emotional experience, yet rejected people often appear stoic and unmoved. That is, their macroexpressions of emotion are not accurate reflections of their emotional states. Yet, there is reason to believe that rejected people exhibit involuntary microexpressions of negative emotion. We contrasted people's macroexpressions of emotion with their microexpressions subsequent to an acceptance or rejection experi…
Reading Elizabeth von Arnim Today: An Overview
An overview essays of the work of Elizabeth von Arnim -- a recently reclaimed author
Elizabeth and Her Mountain Garden
In this essay the author suggests that Elizabeth von Arnim’s anonymous novel In the Mountains (1920) can be regarded as a modernist work, and is best understood in this context. The author indicates why von Arnim was intellectually and spiritually ready to develop her writing along these lines in the post-First World War era. This novel, like von Arnim’s early works—Elizabeth and Her German Garden (1898) and The Solitary Summer (1899 Arnim, Eliza…

The nutritional quality of foods was distinguished using the clues of the ND nutrition education programm…
Care transitions for older patients with musculoskeletal disorders: Continuity from the providers’ perspective
Medical complexity enlarges the circle of care which challenges care continuity. There may be fundamental elements which, regardless of care setting, strengthen transitional care quality. Standardized transitional care processes might help to offset informational discontinuity across care settings as a result of this population's larger circles of care
