Collegiality in the complex ecosystem of research in academia
Recent work by researchers, higher education institutions and research funders highlights how current research culture can be damaging to individual experience, and the wider research endeavour, potentially constraining capacity to create useful knowledge that addresses key problems. Further, the erosion of academic values and freedoms has emerged as a key concern for researchers working within the UK and beyond. Many institutions are considering…
A Randomised Control Trial Investigating the Efficacy of the MapMe Intervention on Parental Ability to Correctly Categorise Overweight in Their Child and the Impact on Child BMI Z-Score Change at 1 Ye…
Research suggests parental ability to recognise when their child has overweight is limited. It is hypothesised that recognition of child overweight/obesity is fundamental to its prevention, acting as a potential barrier to parental action to improve their child's health-related behaviours and/or help seeking. The purpose of this study was to investigate the efficacy of an intervention (MapMe) to improve parental ability to correctly categorise th…
No selective integration required
Looming motion is an ecologically salient signal that often signifies danger. In both audition and vision, humans show behavioral biases in response to perceiving looming motion, which is suggested to indicate an adaptation for survival. However, it is an open question whether such biases occur also in the combined processing of multisensory signals. Towards this aim, Cappe, Thut, Romei, and Murraya (2009) found that responses to audiovisual sign…
Project20
The findings of this study contribute to concerns highlighted in previous literature around interpreter services in the wider healthcare arena, particularly around the lack of regulation and access to high-quality interpretation. This is thought to have a significant effect on pregnant women who are living socially complex lives as they are not able to communicate their concerns and access support. This not only impacts on their safety and pregna…
Employing the arts for knowledge production and translation
OBJECTIVES: This project used animated film to translate research findings into accessible health information aimed at enabling women to speak up and secure professional help for serious safety concerns during pregnancy and after birth. We tested as proof of concept our use of the arts both as product (knowledge production) and process (enabling involvement). BACKGROUND: Emergencies during pregnancy and birth, while unusual, can develop rapidly a…
Familial support impacts incarcerated women's housing stability
Purpose – This participatory health research project of researchers and women prisoners examined housing and homelessness as perceived by incarcerated women to understand this public health concern and help guide policy. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach – A participatory research team designed and conducted a survey of 83 incarcerated women in BC, Canada. Using descriptive statistics, the authors examined socio-…
A comparison of Eysenck's guilt construct in male and female Anglican clergy in the United Kingdom and male and female Assemblies of God Ministers in the United States
The Eysenck Personality Profiler (EPP) was part of a questionnaire completed by 551 male and 685 female Assemblies of God (A/G) ministers in the United States (US). These data were compared to data from the Jones (2002) study of male and female Anglican clergy from the United Kingdom (UK). The 20-item guilt scale is part of the 440- item EPP. The US A/G ministers scored significantly higher on the guilt scale than the UK Anglican clergy and the m…
Accuracy of estimates of food portion size using food photographs – the importance of using age-appropriate tools
Background In order to obtain a measure of nutrient intake, a measure or estimate of the amount of food consumed is required. Weighing foods imposes a large burden on subjects, often resulting in underreporting. Tools are available to assist subjects in providing an estimate of portion size and these include food photographs. The application of these tools in improving portion size estimation by children has not been investigated systematically. …
