River Communities, Disaster Science, and the Politics of Water Safety
After environmental disasters, scientific claims about environmental risk face a paradox. Impacted communities turn to scientific bodies for safety information, yet scientific findings are often challenged publicly in post-disaster debates. This study explores this paradox after the 2015 Gold King Mine spill in the Animas River, USA. We ask how a river is declared “safe” after such a disaster, by whom, and based on what metrics. We examine how sc…

Paroxysm
This article is about movement, documenting a researcher's reading, seeing, and feeling with the flaring movements of a young child's clenched fists as he punches the air in an early years' classroom. Drawing on postqualitative inquiry and feminist new materialisms, the article aims to engage with a series of images to think otherwise about the fists, aiming to nudge the researcher's gaze to attend to the unfolding affective forces of movement's …
Young children’s museum geographies
In this guest editorial, we outline a new field of children’s museum geographies. We do this by opening up a space for the reader to engage with a collection of papers that trace embodiment, tacit and emplaced knowing, material entanglements and non-representational aspects of experience in accounts of children’s presence in museums. We hope that this special issue will act as an impetus for further working, thinking and collaborating, firstly by…
Vibrancy, repetition and movement
This paper argues for an expanded field of inquiry to conceptualise young children in museums. Drawing on Murris’ [2016. The Post-Human Child: Educational Transformation Through Philosophy with Picturebooks. London: Routledge] analysis of childhood constructions, we discuss how cognitive and socio-constructivist models of the child dominate childhood and museum studies. We argue for the potential of Murris’ figure of the posthuman child to reconc…

The Yangjiang Group consists of Zheng Guogu (b.1970), Chen Zaiyan (b.1971), and Sun Qinglin (b.1974), and was established in 2002 in the city of Yangjiang, China. Yangjiang is located in the south west coastal area of Guangdong province, bordering the nearby Pearl River Delta, one of China's fastest developing conurbations. The group produces work that responds to their local environment, expanding the parameters of contemporary art beyond galler…

HIV infection in hospitalized patients and Medicaid enrollees
To evaluate the accuracy of computerized medical-record coding for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), medical charts were reviewed in six sites. In 7601 hospital and 867 Medicaid records with a listed diagnosis of HIV, the predictive value for HIV was 91% or higher. HIV was identified in 34% of 1155 Medicaid records listing immune disorder or illness in the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) surveillance definition (without an HIV code). …
The completeness of Aids case reporting, 1988
OBJECTIVES. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the completeness of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) case reporting. METHODS. Statewide or hospital-specific 1988 medical records were linked with AIDS surveillance in six sites. Medical records were reviewed for persons who had diagnoses suggesting human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection or AIDS but were not reported to AIDS surveillance by September 1989. RESULTS. Among 4500 ho…
The role of public opinion polling in health legislation
Two public opinion polls, in Los Angeles and Michigan, on smoking in public places contradicted findings from other major surveys. Both were commissioned by the tobacco interests during consideration of non-smoking legislation to measure opinion and influence the outcome. Analysis reveals the two polls to be remarkably similar and in violation of basic principles of survey research. Response categories lacked objective or parallel phrasing, respo…
