Social-ecological considerations informing a universal screening strategy for sleep health in the community
Poor sleep health" (PSH), defined as reduced amount of sleep and non-restorative sleep, affects cognitive, social and emotional development. Evidence suggests an association of sleep deprivation and mental health problems; however, there are no universal concepts allowing a first-tier screening of PSH at a community level. The focus of this narrative review is to highlight the cultural context of the current medicalized approach to PSH and to sug…
Understanding the Implications of Peer Support for Families of Children With Neurodevelopmental and Intellectual Disabilities: A Scoping Review
Background: Families are integrally involved in day-to-day caregiving of children with neurodevelopmental and intellectual disabilities (NDID). Given the widespread and increasing prevalence of children with NDID and the impact of family caregiving on psychological, social, and economic implications for both the child and family, understanding and supporting these families is an important public health concern. Objective: We conducted a scoping r…
Cognition, Meaning and Kinship: Connectionist Models of Cultural Representation
Traditional anthropological models of kinship employ rule-based classical semantics to account for the meanings of kinship, clanship and the attribution of kin terms. This article uses cognitively-based, prototype semantics and distributed, sub-symbolic representations to explore the meanings of kinship relations among the Managalase of Papua New Guinea
“They silently live in terror…” why sleep problems and night-time related quality-of-life are missed in children with a fetal alcohol spectrum disorder
Noisy zones of proximal development: Conversation in noisy classrooms
Despite the importance of context in studies of language use, sociolinguists have ignored the impact of noise on conversational interaction. This inattention is of particular concern in classrooms where language is a learning tool. Our research on interaction in noisy settings took place in English language elementary school classrooms with students in grades 3, 5, and 7, whose first language was English. Students were observed during regular cla…

There's this thing in our family: Predictive testing and the construction of risk for Huntington Disease
Recent approaches to the new genetics stress the importance of placing hereditary risk within the context of familial beliefs and dynamics. Nonetheless, few empirical studies on predictive genetic testing have explored the meaning and significance of hereditary risk within everyday life. Drawing upon in-depth interviews with 21 families, this paper examines the social construction of hereditary risk for one adult onset disorder, Huntington Diseas…

Hegemony and the Language of Change: The Pidginization of Land Tenure among the Managalase of Papua New Guinea
Coffee was introduced to the Managalase of Papua New Guinea by the colonial government as an alternative to the coastal plantations as a source of cash. This was done in an effort to keep young men from leaving their villages to seek employment on the plantations. This behavior was negatively affecting the population profile of the families on the Managalase Plateau of Oro Province. During the planning stages of this program it was feared that a …
