Unconventional Methods for a Post-conventional Anthropology
In this article, we describe doing co-creative, filmic anthropology and its novel trajectories as we continued our collaborations beyond fieldwork. We reflect on different situations in which we sought to speak with our interlocutors, rather than about them, which we argue encourages a more outward-facing anthropological practice, one that also remains fundamentally committed to our interlocutors in the research moment. Rather than only an intern…
Health Action in ScHools for a Thriving Adolescent Generation (HASHTAG)
Schools play a crucial role in supporting adolescent mental health, especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), where young people face structural and societal challenges. This study explores the feasibility and acceptability of the Health Action in Schools for a Thriving Adolescent Generation (HASHTAG), a multilevel intervention for at-risk adolescents aged 13–14 in South Africa. HASHTAG includes two components: thriving environment …

Long story, short: I was pretty clueless. Yeah, in 1966 I had graduated, with honors, from Cal-Berkeley (University of California Berkeley) with a major in political philosophy. But I had no idea w
Dahomey
In the years immediately preceding the French Conquest the West African kingdom of Dahomey occupied the southern third of what is today the republic of Dahomey. The eastern boundary of the state followed the course of the River Oueme while the western boundary lay along the River Cuffo. Dahomey had emerged in the seventeenth century and had developed as the rulers of Abomey extended their sway over the principalities of the plateau. In the second…
A business model innovation methodology for implementing digital interpretation experiences in European cultural heritage attractions
The paper proposes a business model innovation (BMI) methodology for cultural heritage (CH) sites that are implementing digital technology in their visitor journey. Technologies such as virtual and augmented reality are increasingly popular in the cultural and heritage tourism sector, offering providers new tools to present and curate heritage content, and visitors new modes to interpret and engage with a site’s features. Despite its popularity, …
Towards meaningful co-creation
This paper discusses the impact of co-creation in the context of heritage tourism. By examining co-creative strategies that promote participative interpretation of archaeological heritage, the emphasis is on understanding how tour guides balance tourists’ individual interpretations and the scientific narrative. The study conducts a qualitative analysis of the tour guiding activity of cultural tourism companies in Alentejo, Southern Portugal. Data…
Strategy Configurations Directly Linked to Higher Hepatitis C Virus Treatment Starts
BACKGROUND: The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) cares for more patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV) than any other US health care system. We tracked the implementation strategies that VA sites used to implement highly effective new treatments for HCV with the aim of uncovering how combinations of implementation strategies influenced the uptake of the HCV treatment innovation. We applied Configurational Comparative Methods (CCMs) to uncover c…

Life course epidemiology
Life course epidemiology may be conceptualised as “the study of long term effects on later health or disease risk of physical or social exposures during gestation, childhood, adolescence, young adulthood and later adult life.”1 Adolescence, the period between childhood and adulthood defined by the WHO as 10–19 years, has an uneasy status in epidemiology. On the one hand, adolescents, who now number over 1.2 billion worldwide—around 20% of the glo…
A Ride in the Time Machine
We have proposed needed information management capabilities for future US health departments predicated on trends in health care reform and health information technology. Regardless of whether health departments provide direct clinical services (and many will), they will manage unprecedented quantities of sensitive information for the public health core functions of assurance and assessment, including population-level health surveillance and metr…
Rescue archaeology heritage valuation in Europe's largest dam - Alqueva
The study aims to determine how the knowledge obtained from the study of prehistoric heritage found during the construction of the Alqueva dam and irrigation system (Portugal) can enhance the current tourist experience of the destination. A new approach is necessary given the inaccessibility of the archaeological remains, thus creative tourism and experience economy frame the theoretical basis of this paper. Semi--directed interviews were carried…
Expanded HIV Testing in the US Department of Veterans Affairs, 2009–2011
Objectives. We measured HIV testing and seropositivity among veterans in Veterans Affairs (VA) care for calendar years 2009 through 2011 and analyzed 2011 results by patient demographics. Methods. We performed a repeated-measures cross-sectional study using standardized electronic data extraction from the VA electronic health records for all veterans with at least 1 outpatient visit during 2009 through 2011. We analyzed testing rates and seroposi…
The need to promote behaviour change at the cultural level
The process evaluation suggests that one important reason for this failure is that the intervention did not operate sufficiently at a structural level, particularly in regard to culture. Recently most structural interventions have focused on gender or/and economics. Complementing these with a cultural approach could address the belief systems that justify and perpetuate gender and economic inequalities, as well as other barriers to behaviour chan…
Using a Modified Lag Task to Measure Adult Age Differences in Working Memory
Four groups of adults, ages 40 to 70+ years, took the Modified Lag Task which requires that participants remember lists of words and subsequently recall the first, second, or third word from the end of the list. Previously, the task showed convergent validity with the operation span (a complex span measure) and a divergent validity with the digit span (a simple span measure). To establish predictive validity, the present study was designed to ass…

Transactional sex amongst young people in rural northern Tanzania
BACKGROUND: Material exchange for sex (transactional sex) may be important to sexual relationships and health in certain cultures, yet the motivations for transactional sex, its scale and consequences are still little understood. The aim of this paper is to examine young women's motivations to exchange sex for gifts or money, the way in which they negotiate transactional sex throughout their relationships, and the implications of these negotiatio…
Mandated Influenza Vaccines and Health Care Workers’ Autonomy
Case Dr. Ziad, a New York City physician, received a memo from her employer stating that, in accordance with a new hospital policy, she was required to receive both the seasonal influenza and novel H1N1 influenza vaccines. “Failure to comply by the specified deadline may result in disciplinary action,” the memo said, “which could include termination of employment.”
Sexual risk behaviour for women working in recreational venues in Mwanza, Tanzania
Qualitative research was conducted to explore the social context of sexual-risk behaviour among women working in recreational occupations, during a feasibility study in preparation for the Phase III clinical trial of vaginal microbicides in Mwanza, Tanzania. Participant observation was conducted in 68 recreational venues. Six focus group discussions were conducted with women working in recreational occupations and two with male customers at these…
A model for community representation and participation in HIV prevention trials among women who engage in transactional sex in Africa
Actively engaging communities in effective partnerships for the design and implementation of HIV prevention research is vital to the successful conduct of ethically robust, locally-appropriate clinical trials in developing countries. This is especially true in vulnerable at-risk sub-populations, where definitions of "community", "participation" and "representation" can be difficult to apply. This study was conducted to investigate the feasibility…
The benefits of participatory methodologies to develop effective community dialogue in the context of a microbicide trial feasibility study in Mwanza, Tanzania
Participatory techniques were instrumental in promoting meaningful dialogue between the research team, study participants and community representatives in Mwanza, allowing researchers and community representatives to gain a shared understanding of project-related priority areas for intervention
'The man who believed he had Aids was cured'
Most people living with AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa have had neither a biomedical diagnosis nor antiretroviral medication, leading to the question of how individuals understand and treat AIDS. This study examined general illness, sexually-transmitted infection (STI) and AIDS treatment-seeking behaviour in rural Mwanza, Tanzania. From 1999-2002, participant observation was carried out in nine villages for a total of 158 person-weeks. Treatments wer…

The Dahomean Middleman System, 1727–c. 1818
During the first quarter of the eighteenth century, European merchants bought more slaves in the Bight of Benin than on any other part of the West African coast. From c . 1720 until 1727 much of their buying was concentrated in Savi, the capital of a small Aja state called Whydah. When the Dahomeans overran Savi in 1727 they stopped the inland slave suppliers from travelling to the coast, prevented the local Hueda from going inland to collect sla…

Cultural safety in child protection
Cultural safety is a term that originated in the nursing profession in New Zealand. Common definitions focus on participants (whether clients or workers) feeling safe; feeling they can express their cultural identity; feel respected and listened to. The present study describes the concept of cultural safety and how it is applied in statutory child protection in Alice Springs. The context of child protection is described, including the workplace c…
European Models and West African History. Further Comments on the Recent Historiography of Dahomey
Pre-colonial Dahomey's two most recent historians, Isaac A. Akinjogbin and John C. Yoder, have argued that Dahomey was a progressive nation that had much in common with the states of the modern West. Akinjogbin and Yoder have laid particularly heavy emphasis on this point when describing the kingdom's system of government. Their account of that system appears to be generally accepted. It has, at any rate, been repeated in the more important textb…
The Anti-Slave Trade Theme in Dahoman History
Eighteenth- and nineteenth-century travelers who described pre-colonial Dahomey all stressed that the Dahomans were dedicated, enthusiastic slavers. The kingdom's first historian, Archibald Dalzel, remarked, for example, that the Dahomans were “bred solely to war and rapine.” F.E. Forbes, the author of one of the best-known nineteenth-century accounts of the kingdom, in a similar vein, declared of Dahomey that “strange and contradictory as it may…

Mid-Nineteenth Century Dahomey
Three mid-nineteenth century English travellers, F.E. Forbes, R.F. Burton, and J.A. Skertchly, published books which contain detailed descriptions of the way in which the Dahoman state was then organized. The three authors' works, when taken together, form the most coherent, best researched, precolonial account of the Dahoman kingdom. Dahomey's more recent historians, while purporting to rely on Forbes', Burton's, and Skertchly's evidence, have n…
