Advancing governance for digital transformation in health
Enhancing digital health governance is critical to healthcare systems in low-income and middle-income countries. However, implementing governance-enhancing reforms in these countries is often challenging due to the multiplicity of external players and insufficient operational guidance that is accessible. Using data from desktop research, in-depth interviews, focus group discussions and three stakeholder workshops, this paper aims to provide insig…
Vaccine research and development capacity in Central and West Asia
The ability to support a comprehensive vaccine research and development (R&D) portfolio from a health security perspective has taken on enhanced significance over the past 3 years whereby countries that had existing vaccine R&D infrastructure (G7, Russia and China) have been at the forefront of global efforts to combat COVID-19. Few countries outside of these key players have the infrastructure necessary to develop national vaccine programs, thou…
Understanding Covid-19 vaccine hesitancy in health care professionals in Central and West Asia
A Quick Assessment of Vaccine Hesitancy approach was developed to collect population insights on vaccination hesitancy for low resource environments. Insights into COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy were collected through online webinars with heads of healthcare departments and anonymized online surveys of healthcare managers (HCM) and primary healthcare workers (HCW) in four countries in Central and West Asia (Armenia, Georgia, Tajikistan, and Kyrgyzsta…
Core interventions contributing to the effectiveness of the National Urban Health Mission in India
The National Urban Health Mission (NUHM) was launched by the Government of India as a sub-mission of the National Health Mission (NHM) in May 2013, and was the first major programmatic response at the national level to address the health issues of the urban poor [1]. With around 38.6% of the population (estimated at 479 [...]
Managing the challenges associated with decreasing demand for Covid-19 vaccination in Central and West Asia
Since the first administration of COVID-19 vaccine in December 2020, countries have experienced a range of challenges at different phases of their COVID-19 vaccination programmes. Initially, with limited global COVID-19 vaccine supply, the WHO called for vaccine equity to ensure the most vulnerable people in every country globally had access to vaccine, and COVID-19 Vaccines Global Access was established to facilitate equitable access to COVID-19…

From 'stay home' to #TakeOutHate

Mindfulness Training and Physical Health
OBJECTIVE: There has been substantial research and public interest in mindfulness interventions, biological pathways, and health for the past two decades. This article reviews recent developments in understanding relationships between mindfulness interventions and physical health. METHODS: A selective review was conducted with the goal of synthesizing conceptual and empirical relationships between mindfulness interventions and physical health out…
Socio-demographic, health and institutional determinants of caesarean section among the poorest segment of the urban population
Caesarean sections (CS) is the most common lifesaving surgeries for obstructed labour and other emergency obstetrical conditions. The WHO had recommended ideal rate for CS to be between 5% and 15%. The rate higher than 15% indicates overused other than lifesaving. Bangladesh has experienced a dramatic increase in CS delivery from 4% in 2004 to 23% in 2014. This increase is elevated by the several factors including maternal education, maternal req…
Association of Time since Migration from Rural to Urban Slums and Maternal and Child Outcomes
It's About Who You Know
This chapter looks at how the accrual of fan social capital influences the hierarchies of fandom, despite early claims that fan communities are democratic communities free of hierarchies. Online fan forums, fansites with connections to celebrities and “The Powers that Be” of popular media texts often have set rules and regulations to ease management of the community/site. These gatekeeping strategies help fan community leaders and fansites’ admin…

How mindfulness training promotes positive emotions
Mindfulness meditation interventions-which train skills in monitoring present-moment experiences with a lens of acceptance-have shown promise for increasing positive emotions. Using a theory-based approach, we hypothesized that learning acceptance skills in mindfulness interventions helps people notice more positive experiences in daily life, and tested whether removing acceptance training from mindfulness interventions would eliminate interventi…
Advancing transcultural fandom
This chapter demonstrates the importance of studying race and transcultural fandom, these areas of fan studies remain underdeveloped. Bertha Chin serves on the board of the Fan Studies Network and the editorial board of the Journal of Fandom Studies; she has written widely about social media, crowdfunding, and science fiction fandom. The issue of invisibility needs to be solved within fan, media, and cultural studies at large. There's a sense tha…
Spatial Clustering of Occupational Injuries in Communities
Objectives. Using the social-ecological model, we hypothesized that the home residences of injured workers would be clustered predictably and geographically. Methods. We linked health care and publicly available datasets by home zip code for traumatically injured workers in Illinois from 2000 to 2009. We calculated numbers and rates of injuries, determined the spatial relationships, and developed 3 models. Results. Among the 23 200 occupational i…
Crowdfunding
As guest editors of this special issue of New Media & Society, we examine the concept of crowdfunding, where grassroots creative projects are funded by the masses through websites such as Kickstarter and Indiegogo, a practice that has been steadily gaining attention in the last few years, across many different sectors of society. We introduce the nine articles comprising the special issue and unravel the developments and challenges involved in th…

Income, health, and well-being in rural Malawi
This paper attempts to isolate the causal link of income on health status and subjective well-being for the rural population in Malawi using three waves of household panel data spanning the period 2004-2008 from the Malawi Diffusion and Ideational Change Project (MDICP) and the Malawi Longitudinal Study of Families and Health (MLSFH). Malawi is a low-income country with high background morbidity and mortality, as well as an AIDS epidemic, high fe…
Restricted confessions? Blogging, subcultural celebrity and the management of producer–fan proximity
In this article we argue that “citizen journalist” debates surrounding weblogs, or “blogs”, have tended to displace attention from the ways in which specific media professionals (e.g. those working on television drama) have used blogging as a promotional tool. Rather than challenging forms of media power, we suggest that this blogging actually reinforces the cultural and symbolic power of media producers, positioned as knowledgeable “insiders”, v…
Towards a Theory of Transcultural Fandom
In this discussion, we advocate for a broad(er) model of transcultural fandom studies that, in shifting focus to the affective affinities that spark fan interest in transcultural fan objects, is intended as a corrective to nation-centred analyses of border-crossing fandoms. It is our contention that the binary approach to transnational fandom maintained by media globalisation scholars such as Koichi Iwabuchi, writing in the East Asian context, do…
