Lake Sedimentary DNA Research on Past Terrestrial and Aquatic Biodiversity: Overview and Recommendations
The use of lake sedimentary DNA to track the long-term changes in both terrestrial and aquatic biota is a rapidly advancing field in paleoecological research. Although largely applied nowadays, knowledge gaps remain in this field and there is therefore still research to be conducted to ensure the reliability of the sedimentary DNA signal. Building on the most recent literature and seven original case studies, we synthesize the state-of-the-art an…
A novel approach for cumulative impacts assessment for marine spatial planning
What matters to people with memory problems, healthy volunteers and health and social care professionals in the context of developing treatment to prevent Alzheimer's dementia? A qualitative study
BACKGROUND: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is recognized as one of the greatest global public health challenges. There is increasing consensus that optimal disease modification using pharmaceuticals may best be achieved earlier in the disease continuum before symptoms occur. However, more needs to be understood about what outcomes are meaningful to potential participants in clinical trials within this preventative paradigm and how people make trade-off…
Living with dementia, interdependence and citizenship: Narratives of everyday decision-making
This article argues that interdependent relationships are key in realising inclusion and citizenship for people living with dementia. We focus on decision-making as one aspect of everyday life which reflects opportunities and challenges associated with citizenship. Accounts of everyday decision-making from people living with dementia provide insight into strategies for negotiating responsibilities as they shifted with dementia. An inductive, seco…
I just want to get on with my life’: A mixed-methods study of active management of quality of life in living with dementia
The active management of the experience of living with dementia appears to improve quality of life despite the lack of disease modification. However, research to date has been largely of modest scale and explanatory factors for improvements have been under-conceptualised. Thus, although promulgated through national strategies, the evidence base is relatively weak. This paper reports on a nation-wide study of the influence of the National Dementia…
A Seat Around the Table: Participatory Data Analysis With People Living With Dementia
The involvement of "people with experience" in research has developed considerably in the last decade. However, involvement as co-analysts at the point of data analysis and synthesis has received very little attention-in particular, there is very little work that involves people living with dementia as co-analysts. In this qualitative secondary data analysis project, we (a) analyzed data through two theoretical lenses: Douglas's cultural theory o…
The role of fire in the mid-Holocene arrival and expansion of lodgepole pine ( Pinus contorta var. latifolia Engelm. ex S. Watson) in Yukon, Canada
In north-west Canada, Pinus contorta (lodgepole pine) has been migrating northwards and westwards for millennia. Its regeneration is currently enhanced by fire, which may act as a trigger for local population expansion. Using Holocene charcoal records from four small ( 4000 years after the first local appearance of Pinus, suggesting a long period of stasis at low densities. Population increases – based on pollen accumulation rates (PARs) – occurr…
Organisational space for partnership and sustainability: Lessons from the implementation of the National Dementia Strategy for England
National policy initiatives are faced with challenges in their partnership development and sustainability. The National Dementia Strategy for England recommended Dementia Adviser (DA) and Peer Support Network (PSN) services and 40 demonstration sites were established. In this paper, we report on the national evaluation of these demonstration sites, with specific reference to aspects of organisational development. The research used a mixed-methods…
Risky and resilient life with dementia: Review of and reflections on the literature
In this article, we report on our interpretation of past and current literature on negotiating risk and resilience in the everyday lives of people living with dementia. We undertook the literature review on which this article is based as part of an ongoing qualitative study designed to explore issues of risk and resilience from the point of view of people living with dementia in urban and rural communities. We carried out a search of internationa…

Risk Assessment and Management for Living Well with Dementia
This useful book highlights principles of good practice for managing risk in dementia care, and presents a rounded approach that will help practitioners negotiate some of the complex issues this entails
Short and medium term effects of a community-based intervention to address social inequalities in health
Background Health Trainers were introduced in the 2004 ‘Choosing Health’ White Paper with the aim of promoting healthy lifestyle behaviours among people living in disadvantaged areas. This is achieved through the use of techniques based on evidence and theories from health psychology. The initiative also aims to combat social exclusion by recruiting and training local people as Health Trainers. The evidence to support the effectiveness of behavio…
Reframing risk management in dementia care through collaborative learning
Risk management is a complex aspect of practice which can lead to an emphasis on maintaining physical safety, which impacts on the well-being of people with dementia. Education for practitioners in risk management is particularly challenging because of its conceptual nature and diverse perceptions of risk between and within professional groups. The practice development research reported here formed one part of a multisite study and contributed to…
P60 “It's like the service that was never there”: A qualitative longitudinal study of lay health trainer services in the North East of England
Background Despite considerable improvements in the overall health of the UK population, the gap between the richest and poorest groups in society continues to widen. Health trainers are a new workforce introduced in the 2004 “Choosing Health” White Paper to address these inequalities by targeting individuals from the poorest groups and supporting them to make healthy lifestyle choices. The largely grass-roots development of health trainers has r…
Future disorientation following gynaecological cancer: Women's conceptualisation of risk after a life threatening illness
The purpose of this study was to develop an understanding of the experience of a gynaecological cancer diagnosis on women and their family in the year following treatment. The psychological and social consequences of gynaecological cancer and treatment have received little attention in research or practice until recently. Cancer service developments, however, are increasingly looking towards nurses to address the psychosocial needs of patients an…
Alcohol-related brain damage: Narrative storylines and risk constructions
To date, the voice and experience of people with alcohol-related brain damage has been silent in the literature. Using narrative research methodology and a focus on risk and quality of life, this paper outlines the analysis of interviews with six people with alcohol-related brain damage who were resident on a specialist care unit for the condition. Of the six participants, four were interviewed twice in line with the study protocol and separate i…
Risk and long-term conditions: The contradictions of self in society
This editorial draws together the key issues arising from five papers which form a special edition focusing on risk in long-term conditions. The papers address research on falls in older people (Fortinsky et al. Citation2009), alcohol-related brain damage (Keady et al. Citation2009), children with a disability (Oulton and Heyman Citation2009), women with endometriosis (Seear Citation2009) and survivorship in cancer (Roberts and Clarke Citation200…
Formal carers: Attitudes to working with the dementing elderly and their informal carers
This paper presents a discussion of some of the results arising from a study into the inter-relationships between the dementing elderly in the community, and their informal and formal carers. The results from one phase of the study, which gathered data from informal carers, were used in the development of an attitudinal questionnaire. The questionnaire was distributed to a sample of 60 formal carers drawn from a wide variety of health, social and…
Specialist services for older people: Issues of negative and positive ageism
This paper reports findings of a study in 2004 of the development of specialist services for older people in the National Health Service (NHS) in England, as recommended in the Department of Health's National Service Framework for Older People (NSF-OP). The study was funded by the Department of Health as part of a programme of research to explore the Framework's implementation. Information was collected through a questionnaire survey about the na…
Paradoxes, locations and the need for social coherence: A qualitative study of living with a learning difficulty
Policy rhetoric over recent decades has promoted social inclusion of the more vulnerable sectors of society, such as people with learning difficulties. This study aimed to describe the experiences of people who live with learning difficulties in order to inform local service development. Thirty‐five people with a learning difficulty and/or a family member were interviewed. A model of social coherence was developed that moves beyond the self‐limit…
Risk: Constructing care and care environments in dementia
Inherent in the notion of risk is the probability of an adverse event. However, recognising an event as adverse is subject to differing interpretations and is located in the knowledge base used. For dementia care, this has several implications for practice because of the differential knowledge of practitioners, family carers and people with dementia. Data from a study about the meanings of caring for a person with dementia are used to analyse the…
