Stepping into School
The transition to school is a very important time in children’s educational journey, as well as for their families’ engagement with the community. Previous research has identified the complex interrelations of factors that influence this transition, emphasising the contextual nature of ‘effective’ transition. In recent years, critical theoretical approaches have been utilised to highlight systemic power imbalances within transition processes, par…
Standing in the gap
There are diverse types of health care systems, policies and health care organizations existing in health care delivery arrangements across the world (1).

Volatility and Persistence of Value-Based Purchasing Adjustments
With the passage of the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 and the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act in 2010, Medicare's Inpatient Prospective Payment System (IPPS) began a transition to value-based purchasing (VBP) that rewards or penalizes hospitals based on patient satisfaction, clinical processes of care, outcomes, and efficiency metrics. However, hospital-level volatility vs. persistence in value-based payments year-over-year could resul…
Acute effects of reducing sitting time in adolescents
The trial was registered as a clinical trial with the Australian and New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry ( ACTRN12614001064695 ) on the 3rd of October 2014 - registered retrospectively
Using Evolutionary Archaeology and Evolutionary Ecology to Explain Cultural Elaboration
We propose a Darwinian evolutionary model for the development and disappearance of Woodland period cultural elaboration in the Ohio River Valley, and specifically the “climax” of this behavior known as the Hopewell phenomenon. We combine aspects of evolutionary archaeology and evolutionary ecology to provide a model that (1) has testable empirical consequences, and (2) specifically addresses the historical context of development of the phenomenon…
