Evaluation of the uptake of tuberculosis preventative therapy for people living with HIV in Namibia
In this study, only 1 in 5 eligible PLHIV completed the TPT cascade in Namibia. Lack of training, irregularities with TB screening and timing of TPT, unclear prescribing and recording responsibilities, and a clinical misperception may have contributed to suboptimal programmatic implementation. Addressing these challenges will be critical with continued TPT scale-up
Epidemiology of Tuberculosis Among US- and Foreign-Born Children and Adolescents in the United States, 1994–2007
Objectives. We examined trends in tuberculosis (TB) cases and case rates among US- and foreign-born children and adolescents and analyzed the potential effect of changes to overseas screening of applicants for immigration to the United States. Methods. We analyzed TB case data from the National Tuberculosis Surveillance System for 1994 to 2007. Results. Foreign-born children and adolescents accounted for 31% of 18 659 reported TB cases in persons…
Time, Stress and Intellectual Engagement in Academic Work
This article is based on a pilot study that examines the effects of recent organizational and public policy changes on Canadian academics' work practices and academic culture. It explores the differences between the use of online technologies by women and male academics in managing these effects. It interprets the complex and often contradictory findings of the study through the lens of time theorization, and speculates about the broader cultural…
No Time to Think
This article reports on a study of how Canadian academics use on-line technologies to deal with increasing demands and time pressures. The results suggest that, in struggling to manage conflicting organizational and temporal priorities, academics are adopting practices to manage these conflicts which adversely affect the quality and content of their teaching and research. Moreover, these changes in practice are integral to reconstituting the temp…
Umbilical Cords and Digital Fibre-Optics
This essay critically describes today's globe-spanning digital communication networks as the core medium of globalization, delivering both a new world order of corporate domination and a deeply personal experience of alienation. It also argues for an ecological approach to communication both as a critique and as a way of resisting globalization, through its focus on embodied relationships and time
Cyberspace Time and Infertility
This essay uses a personal experience of infertility as a metaphor for a deepening societal alienation, as work and other social activities are increasingly disembodied from grounded, face-to-face contexts into asynchronous bit-actions, the tempo of which is driven by the lightning speed of global digital communication. A history of modern and even postmodern time and its social-conditioning effects, the discourse on technological change (and att…
Digital Networks
This paper looks at the convergence between business-information networks and those associated with digital mass media in light of the proposition that the digital networks represent the core medium of globalization. It looks at the new business-organization paradigm of virtuality associated with globalized digitized business and interprets this in light of communication theory, building especially on the legacy of Harold Innis
Whose Brave New World
Telework, Shadow Work
For many, privatization means the transfer of assets from the state to private corporations: either through the collapse of communism in the former Soviet Union; I through debt-related restructuring schemes as in, for instance, South America; or through the sale of crown corporations in energy and telecommunications, under the banner of deregulation and government downsizing, in Canada and around the world. However, the microstructures of the new…
