Illuminating experiences of grief and loss in people with dementia
At-Home Anishinaabemowin Language Immersion: Practices of Adult Learners
In Indigenous language contexts where many adults are not fluent speakers, adult learners play a key role in the restoration of intergenerational transmission. Adult learner narratives of at-home immersion in particular offers an important window into Indigenous language revitalization. In this paper we, two adult Anishinaabemowin learners, discuss the practices of at-home immersion with a toddler in Ontario, Canada. Drawing from an interview and…

An ethnic group specific deprivation index for measuring neighbourhood inequalities in England and Wales
The measurement of deprivation for small areas in the UK has provided the basis for the development of policies and targeting of resources aimed at reducing spatial inequalities. Most measures summarise the aggregate level of deprivation across all people in a given area, and no account is taken of differences between people with differing characteristics, such as age, sex or ethnic group. In recognition of the marked inequalities between ethnic …
Inequities in Chlamydia trachomatis Screening Between Black and White Adolescents in a Large Pediatric Primary Care Network, 2015–2019
Objectives. To identify associations between patient race and annual chlamydia screening among adolescent females. Methods. We performed a retrospective cohort study of females aged 15 to 19 years in a 31-clinic pediatric primary care network in Pennsylvania and New Jersey from 2015 through 2019. Using mixed-effect logistic regressions, we estimated associations between annual chlamydia screening and patient (race/ethnicity, age, previous chlamyd…
Parents Assist: Acceptability and Feasibility of a Video-Based Educational Series for Sexuality-Inclusive Communication between Parents and Gay, Bisexual, and Queer Sons
Young men who have sex with men (YMSM) between the ages of 13 and 24 are a key population for HIV prevention. The parents of gay, bisexual, and queer (GBQ) adolescent males and the sex communication they have with their sons has yet to be explored as an HIV prevention intervention. We developed an online video series called Parents ASSIST (Advancing Supportive and Sexuality-Inclusive Sex Talks) to educate parents about sexual health topics pertin…
Racial Inequalities in Mortality from Pediatric Asthma in the United States: Clinical and Public Health Challenges
In the United States (US), morbidity and mortality from pediatric asthma are increasing. We explored racial inequities using the Multiple Causes of Death Files of the US National Center for Health Statistics and the Wide-ranging Online Data for Epidemiologic Research (WONDER) for 1–14-year-olds from 1999 to 2018. We obtained mortality rates, Black:White mortality rate ratios (MRRs) and Annual Percent Change (APC). We tested for significance with …

Is the tobacco ‘footfall’ argument justified for tobacco purchases in New Zealand convenience stores
Our results do not support claims that tobacco drives one-quarter of footfall into stores or that customers who purchase tobacco spend almost twice as much as non-tobacco customers. Combined purchases of tobacco and non-tobacco items constituted 5.5% of transactions; the impact on a store's profitability of removing tobacco sales is unknown and could be the focus of future research

Layers of engagement: Staff perceptions of spiritual care in residential aged care
Addressing the spiritual care needs of residents living in aged-care facilities should be an important dimension of quality care. We conducted semi-structured interviews with residential aged-care staff (including caregivers, nurses, managers, and chaplains) in New Zealand to explore how spiritual care is understood and operationalized. Many participants appeared to equate spiritual care with holistic care that respects the whole person. Particip…

Beyond Reformation? An Essay on William Langland’s Piers Plowman and the End of Constantinian Christianity, by David Aers
David Aers seeks in this long ‘essay’ to re-situate William Langland’s Piers Plowman within larger historical narratives of religious reformation. His argument is directed in particular at Eamon Duffy’s exclusion of any compelling reformist energies from his account of ‘traditional religion’ in the later Middle Ages (2005) and at James Simpson’s (2002) distinction between the ‘reform’ of the Middle Ages and the ‘cultural revolution’ of the Protes…
Small Experimental Action
Small Experimental Action' is a title derived from Freud's account of thinking. The piece draws attention to the psychoanalytic conception of thinking as an experimental action, and seeks to draw attention to writing as an experimental action, and because it is concerned with reading literary and psychoanalytic texts it draws attention to reading as an experimental action too. It explores agency and risk in ways directly inspired by Shoshana Felm…

An Inexperience
‘This experience of conversion’ is a phrase of Derrida's. It struck me as something that couldn't be imagined: ‘not an as if.’ Nor a fantasy, nor a pretence. Not mediated. A magic word. That is what I managed to imagine. I had no idea (that is, no image) how to bring an experience of conversion about—not for myself, still less for you. But, I told myself, a word can be read, and read out. And I told myself: the point, with a word like this, is to…
"I'm so excited for you!" How an enthusiastic responding intervention enhances close relationships
The positive impact of active-constructive responding (i.e., showing enthusiasm) to the sharing of good news (i.e., capitalization attempts) on relationship well-being is well documented. The objective of this research was to determine whether individuals in a close relationship benefit from training to increase active-constructive responding to partner capitalization attempts and to document its impact on relationship well-being. Compared with a…
Functional implications of squamosal suture size in paranthropus boisei
It has been hypothesized that the extensively overlapping temporal and parietal bones of the squamosal sutures in Paranthropus boisei are adaptations for withstanding loads associated with feeding. Finite element analysis (FEA) was used to investigate the biomechanical effects of suture size (i.e., the area of overlap between the temporal and parietal bones) on stress, strain energy, and strain ratio in the squamosal sutures of Pan troglodytes an…

A Huge Thing
The fiction of the world is a huge thing because it is in Derrida's words ‘the only thing that can make it possible that I can live and have or let you live, enjoy or have or let you enjoy, to carry you for a few minutes without anything happening,’ in a movement of farewell without beginning, without mourning, with the irresistible force of a whirlpool, or a maelstrom: what Poe calls ‘the immense sweeps and swelters of the whirl.’ The maelstrom …
Viewpoints: Diet and dietary adaptations in early hominins: The hard food perspective
Recent biomechanical analyses examining the feeding adaptations of early hominins have yielded results consistent with the hypothesis that hard foods exerted a selection pressure that influenced the evolution of australopith morphology. However, this hypothesis appears inconsistent with recent reconstructions of early hominin diet based on dental microwear and stable isotopes. Thus, it is likely that either the diets of some australopiths include…
Bullying and victimization of primary school children in England and Germany: Prevalence and school factors
Differences in definitions and methodologies for assessing bullying in primary school children between countries have precluded direct comparisons of prevalence rates and school factors related to bullying. A total of 2377 children in England (6-year-olds/Year 2: 1072; 8-year-olds/Year 4: 1305) and 1538 in Germany (8-year-olds/Year 2) were questioned individually using an identical standard interview. In both countries the types of bullying to vi…

Narrow Passages”: Captive sailors and national narrative in James Fenimore Cooper's The Pilot
This paper offers a new reading of James Fenimore Cooper's Revolutionary sea-romance, The Pilot, published in 1824 and regarded by many as “the first sea novel ever written”.1 1 Beard Beard, James Franklin. 1976. “Cooper and the Revolutionary Mythos.”. EAL, 11: 84–104. [Google Scholar], “Cooper and the Revolutionary Mythos,” 91. Challenging the long-held critical assumption that The Pilot reflects the maritime nationalism of the antebellum United…

Exorcizing the Past: The Slave Narrative as Historical Fantasy
Octavia Butler's 1979 novel Kindred is a hybrid text: part historical novel, part science fiction/fantasy and part slave narrative. The story transports a contemporary black heroine into 19th-century Maryland in order to explore, recreate and connect with African American narratives of identity. Providing two narrative strands, one in 19th-century Maryland and the other in 20th-century California, the text is able to juxtapose the realities of sl…

Nightshift
Nightshift Sarah Wood (bio) I am going to call this one “Nightshift,” although I’m not sure how orderly it is, or how strictly it keeps to the alternation between night and day. Or even if it “works.” (What would that mean?) But there is something here of dark and light, and I wanted or needed song, what the song “Nightshift” calls “sweet sounds coming down” or “voices coming through” from Freud and Derrida and the others who light our way here. …
