The spinner model for flourishing through movement
Introduction Emerging evidence suggests that human flourishing is not guaranteed, even in economically developed nations, with substantial disparities reported across populations and contexts. This highlights an urgent need for scalable, context-sensitive approaches that support flourishing and holistic wellbeing. Physical activity represents one such pathway, with growing evidence linking participation to psychological, social, and physical dime…

Can ChatGPT enhance business student creativity? Evidence from a randomised controlled trial
This study examines the impact of generative AI (genAI) tools, specifically ChatGPT, on university student creativity across three disciplines: Marketing, Management, and Entrepreneurship. Using a randomised control trial design with 1190 undergraduate students, creativity was evaluated through fluency, originality, and elaboration. Findings reveal the use of ChatGPT had little to no effect for Entrepreneurship students yet tended to enhance crea…
Nonattachment to self mediates the relationship between Instagram engagement and orthorexia nervosa amongst Australian university students
Instagram is a popular social media platform with two billion active users every month. Despite its entertainment and social benefits, research has associated Instagram use with adverse mental and physical health outcomes. Recently, Instagram use has been associated with the maladaptive eating practice, orthorexia nervosa. Orthorexia nervosa refers to an unhealthy pre-occupation with the quality of food, rather than quantity, and has been associa…
Classifying Australian citizens' responses to Covid ‐19 preventative behaviour directives
The primary defence against COVID‐19 has been the implementation of public health measures that rely on voluntary compliance with behavioural directives. Compliance is often conceptualised as a single dimension, but there may be distinct patterns of compliance with COVID‐19 preventative behaviours. This study examined behavioural profiles in response to preventative behaviour directives during the early stages of the COVID‐19 pandemic in Australi…
The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on UK medical education. A nationwide student survey
The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on the delivery of medical education across the UK, with the majority of face-to-face teaching cancelled during the first wave, and medical schools consequently making varied adaptations to education delivery. To identify and share effective adaptations, we conducted a cross-sectional, online survey (COVID Med-Ed) between 20th May and 31st August 2020 which divided undergraduate teaching by GMC “Outc…
Effects of a psychological and physiotherapeutic intervention on the occurrence of injuries (Efectos de una intervención psicológica y fisioterapeútica sobre la ocurrencia de lesiones)
This study aims to analyse the effects of a psychological intervention focused on motivation and anxiety, in combination with a physiotherapy program, upon the occurrence of injuries. The participants were 22 male soccer players (age = 23.31, SD = 4.24). The instruments used were injury protocol, Competitive State Anxiety Inventory 2 (CSAI-2) and Behavioral Regulation in Sport Questionnaire (BRSQ). The program lasted twelve sessions a periodicity…

A growing need for youth mental health services in Canada
Aims The mental health of youth is continually changing and requires reliable monitoring to ensure that adequate social and economic resources are allocated. This study assessed trends in mental health among Canadian youth, 12–24 years old. Specifically, we examined the prevalence of poor/fair perceived mental health, diagnosis of mood and anxiety disorders, suicidality, perceived stress and sleep problems, substance use, and mental health consul…
Dimensions of religion and attitudes toward euthanasia
Understanding the role of religion in attitudes toward euthanasia requires viewing religion as a multidimensional construct. In this study, four dimensions operationalized religion: religiosity, spirituality, afterlife beliefs (afterlife, heaven, and hell), and religious denomination. Using data from 1066 adults interviewed in the 2018 General Social Survey, a logistic regression showed religiosity, belief in afterlife and heaven, and religious d…

This article provides insights into the ethnicity of academics employed by Aotearoa New Zealand's eight universities, with a particular focus on Mori academics. We show that, despite values espoused by universities in terms of diversity and within their equity policies regarding Mori staff, there has been no progress in increasing the Mori academic workforce. Mori academics were severely under-represented at universities between 2012 and 2017, co…

Ethics and Aesthetics in Contemporary African Cinema
Since the beginnings of African cinema, the realm of beauty on screen has been treated with suspicion by directors and critics alike. James S. Williams explores an exciting new generation of African directors, including Abderrahmane Sissako, Mahamat-Saleh Haroun, Fanta Régina Nacro, Alain Gomis, Newton I. Aduaka, Jean-Pierre Bekolo and Mati Diop, who have begun to reassess and embrace the concept of cinematic beauty by not reducing it to ideologi…

International differences in understanding recovery
Hodges at Newport
The Duke Ellington Orchestra's performance at the 1956 Newport Jazz Festival is remembered chiefly for its hard-swinging rendition of “Diminuendo in Blue and Crescendo in Blue” with an extended “interval” of twenty-seven solo choruses by tenor saxophonist Paul Gonsalves. While that number generated much excitement and considerable publicity, the band's later rendition of “Jeep's Blues” has received wider critical acclaim. The slow-tempo performan…
Is Success in Obtaining Contact and Cooperation Correlated With the Magnitude of Interviewer Variance
Evidence is now beginning to accumulate that shows that interviewer attitudes, personality, and behavior are predictive of success in achieving contact and cooperation with sampled households. A less frequently explored possibility, however, is that these same characteristics might also be the source of variability in the extent to which interviewers follow best practices in the implementation of standardized interviewing. That is to say, there m…

P2-84 Chronic conditions and major depression in community-dwelling older adults
Objectives To estimate (1) the prevalence of long-term medical conditions and of comorbid major depression, and (2) the associations between major depression and various chronic medical conditions in a general population of older adults (over 50 years of age) and in persons who are traditionally classified as seniors (65 years and older). Methods Data from the Canadian Community Health Survey- Mental Health and Wellbeing (CCHS-1.2) were analysed.…

The Macarthur-Bates Communicative Development Inventories (CDI) have been used widely to document early communicative development. The paper reports on a large community sample of 1,447 children recruited from low, middle and high socioeconomic (SES) areas across metropolitan Melbourne, Australia. Regression analyses were conducted to determine the extent to which communicative behaviours reported at 0 ; 8 and 1 ; 0 predicted vocabulary developme…
Managing the Care Home Closure Process
This paper reports case study research that set out to identify what care managers do during independent care home closures. Little research has focused on the way in which care homes for older people are closed in England, or what those involved think about the process. This paper reports the activities and views of care managers directly involved in helping older people relocate from care homes that were closed by their owners. During such clos…

Student Attitudes, Image and the Gender Gap
This article, based on a 3 year study in East Anglian schools, draws on a range of evidence pointing to different attitudes of girls and boys to General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) work. Suggestions are made to account for these differences, with particular emphasis being placed on peer pressure, image and social groupings. Although these are relevant to both sexes, it was found to be more acceptable for girls to work hard and still…

Environmental tobacco smoke exposure during infancy
We collected information about household smoking habits from 518 mothers when they made their first well child visit with a 6 to 8-week old infant. A urine sample was also collected from the infant, the cotinine concentration measured, and the measurement correlated with data provided by the mother. Eight percent of the infant urine cotinine values fell at or above 10 micrograms/L in the 305 households where no smoking was reported. Corresponding…

Affirmative Action at Harvard
Affirmative action to employ more women and minorities at Harvard consists mainly in efforts to increase the number who apply for jobs. Since the first affirmative action plan was prepared in 1973, the proportion of women employees has risen markedly, especially in nonfaculty positions, but the proportion of black and Hispanic faculty has changed little. The record of the Medical School is particularly poor. Affirmative action is hampered by a la…
Recent Economic Developments in New Zealand
THOUGH HOSTILITIES have ceased, the economy of New Zealand, in common with that of most other countries, is still very much affected by the war.' Acute shortages of many consumption goods, and of men and materials with which to produce them, continue. The housing problem, in particular, is serious, and is affecting production because shortage of houses in certain areas prevents the most efficient distribution of manpower. Rationing, permits, and …

Another Look at Yes/No Questions
This study examines the production of Yes⊘No questions by native speakers of English and speakers of Singapore English, a non-native regional variety. The results indicate that there are a number of similarities between the two groups; specifically, both groups appear to prefer an invariant SVO order and tend to eliminate syntactic elements which are semantically redundant. Both groups use a variety of devices, including changes in intonation and…

Sentence to Ten Cents
In cross-cultural interaction in medical settings, there is great potential for miscommunication. This potential is increased when the language proficiency of one of the interactants is low. In the data presented here of such interaction, however, the instances of miscommunication are quickly resolved and communication proceeds. Three sources of communicative success are suggested. Most important is the ability of both parties to draw contextuall…
