All-cause, premature, and cardiovascular death attributable to socioeconomic and ethnic disparities among New Zealanders with type 1 diabetes 1994–2019
Our results suggest that socioeconomic disparities were responsible for a substantial proportion of all-cause, premature and CVD mortality in people with T1DM in Auckland, NZ. Reducing socioeconomic barriers to management and self-management would likely improve clinical outcomes
Social and cultural capitals in tourism resource governance
This paper investigates the relative importance of social and cultural capitals in (re)shaping a tourism resource governance approach for supporting sustainable livelihood outcomes. We apply a ‘Capitals Co-management for Sustainable Livelihood Framework (CCSLF)’ in a remote case study setting of Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT), Bangladesh. Within this setting, culturally distant communities living within an environment of historical political distru…
Analysis of in-hospital mortality among people with and without diabetes in South Western Sydney public hospitals (2014–2017)
In-patients with diabetes continue to have higher mortality rates than those without diabetes and the Australian population. Overall, similar factors influenced mortality rate in people with and without diabetes, but significantly more people with diabetes had two or more co-morbidities, suggesting that hospital mortality may be driven by those with pre-existing health/comorbidities. Urgent measures in primary care to prevent admissions among peo…
Living with type 2 diabetes mellitus in the Kingdom of Tonga
The qualitative findings from this study will assist the future development and information dissemination of culturally appropriate lifestyle-related for men and women living with T2DM in the Kingdom of Tonga. The need for collaboration between practitioners at the hospital, the church, family members, and local traditional healers is important if the lifestyle-related needs and wants of this group of people are to be met
Understanding the Social Environmental Influences on Pregnancy and Planning for Pregnancy for Young Women in Harare, Zimbabwe
Longitudinal study of health, disease and access to care in rural Victoria
Besides providing epidemiological and health service utilisation information relating to different diseases and their risk factors in towns of different sizes, the results will be used to develop a composite measure of health service access. The importance of access to health services will be investigated by assessing the correlation of this measure with rates of undiagnosed and undermanaged disease at the mesh block level. Results will be shared…
Understanding Conceptualizations of Pregnancy and Planning for Pregnancy Among Adolescent Girls and Young Women in Harare, Zimbabwe
Zimbabwe has one of the highest rates of maternal mortality, yet little is understood about adolescent girls' and young women's perspectives on pregnancy or planning for pregnancy. The research study took an emic approach to understand and describe how adolescent girls and young women (14-24 years) in Harare, Zimbabwe, conceptualize pregnancy and planning for pregnancy and how these conceptualizations inform pregnancy decisions. Semi-structured, …

Multiple-view strategies for enhanced understanding of dynamic tourist activity through geovisualization at regional and national scales
This article is part of research exploring various ways to visualize the complexity of sentient movement in space and time. In this case, visualization focuses on the movement of tourists on the West Coast of the South Island of New Zealand, with some commentary on national tourist activity. Working at the atomistic level of the individual we adopt space, time, and activity (s,t,a) as the three main dimensions of sentient movement, but we emphasi…
Mapping the availability and accessibility of healthy food in rural and urban New Zealand – Te Wai o Rona
Objective Uptake of advice for lifestyle change for obesity and diabetes prevention requires access to affordable ‘healthy’ foods (high in fibre/low in sugar and fat). The present study aimed to examine the availability and accessibility of ‘healthy’ foods in rural and urban New Zealand. Design We identified and visited (‘mapped’) 1230 food outlets (473 urban, 757 rural) across the Waikato/Lakes areas (162 census areas within twelve regions) in N…

Early missionaries to Africa played an instrumental role in the creation of new identities amongst and between African peoples. In particular, missionaries were central in classifying and naming groups of local people, reified as tribal' groups, whose access to missionary and colonial resources was contingent on their newly ascribed social identities. Inscription (of local languages) and ascription (of identities based on apparent differences in …
