Hard to Reach and Hidden
Young dementia carers (YDCs) rarely receive appropriate training and support. Their visibility and identification remain dangerously low, and, consequently, support initiatives being developed are failing to reach them. This study explored the success (or failure) of YDC identification pathways as well as the barriers and enablers to their implementation. An explorative qualitative approach was followed, drawing on the experiences of parents of Y…
ISupport for Young Carers
Young dementia carers need to be recognised and supported in their role. They need help to understand the illness, what changes are expected and how it can affect their family member. Many support services, partly due to the COVID pandemic, have moved online and have been shown to be acceptable as they are low cost and reduce access barriers. iSupport is an evidence-informed e-health training programme developed by the World Health Organization (…
Social networking sites and the experience of older adult users
This study aimed to systematically review the use of social networking sites (SNSs) from an older adult perspective (all papers had an average sample age of 65+ and samples ranged in age from 50 to 98). Characteristics of older adult SNS users, incentives and disincentives for use, and the relationship between SNS use, wellbeing and cognitive function were explored. From a systematic search, 21 papers met inclusion criteria and were subjected to …
A New Approach for Developing “Implementation Plans” for Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST) in Low and Middle-Income Countries
Background: Even with a strong evidence base, many healthcare interventions fail to be translated to clinical practice due to the absence of robust implementation strategies. For disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, access to evidence-based interventions beyond research settings is of great importance. Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST) is a brief, group-based intervention, with consistent evidence of effectiveness. Methods…
SettleIN
The authors examined the feasibility of delivering an adapted version of SettleIN, a manualised staff-led programme designed to facilitate adjustment to care for new residents with dementia. The effects of SettleIN on resident adjustment, mood and quality of life were also investigated. A pilot randomised controlled trial was conducted. Nineteen new residents with dementia and 21 staff participants were recruited. Residents were randomly assigned…

Racism and Capitalism—Crisis and Resistance
Understanding and opposing racist oppression in the world today requires analysis and clarification of the following: First, what is distinctive about racist oppression in all its forms, in contrast to other types of oppression; second, what are the dynamics and processes of economic exploitation underlying racist oppression in the world today; third, understanding who benefits and who is harmed by the perpetuation of racist oppression in society…

Class Structure and Social Change
Recently some mainstream sociologists have renewed their efforts to discard the traditional Marxist concepts of class structure, class contradictions, and class struggle as outmoded and unimportant components of social analysis. In contrast, this article argues in favor of the continuing relevance of these concepts and of Marxist class analysis in general in line with economic decline and increasing class polarization in the United States. Applyi…
Critique [of Oral Traditions Under Threat
Christine Morris stimulates, provokes, and challenges some fundamental axioms about culture and literature in her intriguing essay. The absolutism of her position forces readers to critically examine their own ideas about the transmission and preservation of culture. Ultimately, I have some skepticism about the absolutism of her position, but her paper moved me several steps towards her position and caused me to evaluate my ideas on other issues …
Controlling Interest
Asians, Jews, and the Legacy of Midas
In much of the U.S. media today, Asian-Americans are being hailed as the new “wonder group.” Local newspapers seem to be filled with articles about how this student from Pakistan won the spelling bee and that student from Japan won the math contest. Weekly news magazines carry articles extolling this phenomenon, and many liberals and conservatives alike enthusiastically promote the stereotype: liberals because it combats the racist myth that peop…
