Clinical and Family Conversations Regarding Genetic Testing
This study compares content in clinical and family interactions in the context of cancer-related genetic testing (CGT) of a patient with ovarian cancer. The sample was taken as an extreme instance from a larger study, representing participants in a situation with substantial uncertainty. Participants include a genetic counselor, a patient diagnosed with ovarian cancer who received a variant of uncertain significance (VUS) result, and her adult fa…
The Lived Experience
In this study researchers explore the experiences of couples and families during and after a natural disaster to identify themes that affect how and in what capacity natural disasters have on the system and how members of those systems manage stress collectively during that period. Using frameworks from Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological systems theory, Attachment theory researchers utilized Hermeneutic-Phenomenological design with Thematic Analysis to …
Understanding the Drivers of Perceived PrEP Stigma among Indigenous People in the United States
Previous research has demonstrated that pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) stigma serves as a common barrier to PrEP use across racial, ethnic, and sexual minority groups in the United States; however, there is a deficit in research focused on Indigenous populations. Therefore, the objective of this study was to identify drivers of PrEP stigma among Indigenous people. A cross-sectional survey was administered to examine PrEP knowledge, attitudes, an…
Effects of implementation support on children's reading outcomes following an online early reading programme
Well‐designed computer or app‐based instruction has a number of potential benefits (eg increasing accessibility and feasibility of high‐quality instruction, reducing time and resources required for training expert delivery, saving instructional time). However, variation in implementation can still affect outcomes when using educational technology. Research generally suggests that without follow‐up support after training, implementation of educati…

Negotiating Different Worlds and Diverse Cultural Legacies Through Applied Creative Practice in a Situated Learning Project
Prism-like, the 2022 Hlakanyana project at the University of Johannesburg’s (UJ) Faculty of Art, Design and Architecture (FADA) refracted both clear and shadowy issues embedded in arts, culture and pedagogy in a society grappling with decolonisation. Participation in the project indicated that transformation imperatives have been compounded by the socio-economic consequences of a two-year lockdown. On 8 March, some 300 masked second-year students…
Evaluation of 15 years of modeled atmospheric oxidized nitrogen compounds across the contiguous United States
Atmospheric nitrogen oxide and nitrogen dioxide (NO + NO2, together termed as NOX) estimates from annual photochemical simulations for years 2002–2016 are compared to surface network measurements of NOX and total gas-phase-oxidized reactive nitrogen (NOY) to evaluate the Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) modeling system performance by U.S. region, season, and time of day. In addition, aircraft measurements from 2011 Deriving Information on …
Expanding the debate about content moderation
Content moderation has exploded as a policy, advocacy, and public concern. But these debates still tend to be driven by high-profile incidents and to focus on the largest, US based platforms. In order to contribute to informed policymaking, scholarship in this area needs to recognise that moderation is an expansive socio-technical phenomenon, which functions in many contexts and takes many forms. Expanding the discussion also changes how we asses…
Elites tecnológicas, meritocracia e mitos pós raciais no Vale do Silício
Entre as modernas elites tecnológicas digitais, os mitos da meritocracia e da façanha intelectual são usados como marcadores de raça e gênero por uma supremacia branca masculina que consolida recursos de forma desproporcional em relação a pessoas não brancas, principalmente negros, latinos e indígenas. Os investimentos em mitos meritocráticos suprimem os questionamentos de racismo e discriminação, mesmo quando os produtos das elites digitais são …
Technological Elites, the Meritocracy, and Postracial Myths in Silicon Valley
Among modern digital technology elites, myths of meritocracy and intellectual prowess are used as racial and gender markers of white male supremacy that disproportionately consolidate resources away from people of color, particularly African Americans, Latino/as and Native Americans.Investments in meritocratic myths suppress interrogations of racism and discrimination even as the products of digital elites are infused with racial, class, and gend…
Effects of Legislation Regulating Abortion in Arizona
Digital detritus
The late 2016 case of the Facebook content moderation controversy over the infamous Vietnam-era photo, “The Terror of War,” is examined in this paper for both its specifics, as well as a mechanism to engage in a larger discussion of the politics and economics of the content moderation of user-generated content. In the context of mainstream commercial social media platforms, obfuscation and secrecy work together to form an operating logic of opaci…
Diatom response to mid-Holocene climate in three small Arctic lakes in northernmost Finnmark
Palaeoclimatic reconstructions from lake sediment biological records can be challenging, due to variation in non-climatic factors, which alter ecosystem responses. To consider this, it is important to replicate a study regionally, so as to gain information on spatial variability of ecosystem response and the influence of site-specific conditions. Previous pollen-based palaeoclimatic records from three well-dated Arctic lake sites highlight the re…

‘How One Learns to Discourse’
James Moffett's Teaching the Universe of Discourse set out an agenda for the study of development in writing, which influenced James Britton's work in the UK. Subsequently, however, the work of both these thinkers was largely set aside in the approach to writing taken by national strategies in England. In this article, we trace the history of these developments, and seek to rescue Moffett's and Britton's work from being characterised as no more t…
Gukurahundi in Zimbabwe
The re-release of this NGO report is intended to stimulate public debate, within Zimbabwe and internationally, on the human rights abuses which took place in Matabeleland and the Midlands in the 1980s. Discussion of this often overlooked period in Zimbabwe's history has been reinvigorated by contemporary debate about the present situation in Zimbabwe, which was initiated by the EU–Africa Summit in Lisbon in December 2007, and the release of a rec…
Creative practice learning
This article reflects on the requirements for practice based learning, developments in Social Work Education and Training and challenges the location of practice opportunities. Included is an example of a student's integrated practice learning experience within a Theatre company, and a voluntary agency for people with learning difficulties. The first writer explores current practice learning and describes her own experience as an ‘off site’ pract…
Towards a Sustainable Paper Cycle
The production of paper is a key economic activity accounting in value terms for about 2.5% of the world's industrial production and 2% of world trade. Paper products make a vital contribution to education, communications, packaging, and health care. In recent years the paper cycle has become the focus of environmental concerns about the impacts of forestry pollution from manufacturing, and waste. To address these concerns, the World Business Cou…
