Complexity Science in Domestic Abuse Literature
Complexity science is an interdisciplinary paradigm that helps people understand how outcomes, such as domestic violence and abuse (DVA), arise from within complex adaptive systems. This study aims to identify how complexity science has been applied in DVA literature. A systematic scoping review was conducted, searching across academic databases and Google for articles. Articles published from 1990 to 2020, written in English, had DVA partner abu…
Patterns of Non-fatal Overdose and Injection-Related Bacterial Infections During Pregnancy and the Postpartum Year Among New York State Residents
The trend toward diminished rates during pregnancy is supported by past qualitative studies. If confirmed by future research in other geographical regions and with larger sample sizes, this finding holds promise for programmatic and policy interventions. Interventions co-designed with people who use drugs could complement and support harm reduction efforts that pregnant people are already engaging in independently. Such efforts can help people wh…
Exploring the availability and accessibility of menstrual friendly public toilets (MFPTs) in urban spaces
There is a significant gap in the provision of MFPTs in urban centers. Further research is needed to understand the extent of challenges related to accessibility, structural amenities, and availability of MHH-related resources, and how they can best be addressed. Our study's findings underscore the need for the prioritization of MFPTs in public spaces to ensure all individuals have equitable access to manage their menstrual cycles
Investigating the Barriers and Facilitators to Using Antiretroviral Therapy among Women Living with HIV in Plateau State, Nigeria
This study underscores the significance of maintaining a positive perspective on ART use, demonstrated by the connection between a positive outlook and weight gain, and highlights the hurdles that Plateau State's women living with HIV face in adhering to antiretroviral therapy. Policymakers and healthcare providers can utilize these findings to formulate targeted strategies aimed at minimizing identified barriers and enhancing antiretroviral ther…
Addressing the Community Resource and Social Service Needs of Families During the Covid-19 Pandemic
Consortium for violence prevention research, leadership training, and implementation for excellence (Converge)
Background: Gender-based violence (GBV) and violence against children (VAC) are two prevalent and highly interconnected global health challenges, yet data and research capacities to study these forms of violence and to generate evidence-based policies and programs remain limited. To address critical shortages in research capacity in Vietnam and to establish a model for other Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs), we are establishing CONVERGE-t…
Factors That Influence Sleep Behaviors of High School Students
BACKGROUND: Inadequate sleep has been shown to have detrimental effects on academic performance, physical, mental, and emotional health among adolescents. Factors that influence sleep have been identified. However, most literature is currently limited to urban settings. This study sought to identify factors that influence sleep habits among high school students in a semi-rural community. METHODS: Twelve focus groups were conducted in-person with …
Assessing exposure to outdoor advertisement for products high in fat, salt and sugar (HFSS); is self-reported exposure a useful exposure metric
Self-reported outdoor advertisement exposure is correlated with measured exposure, making this a useful methodology for population studies. It has the added advantage that it correlates with consumption. However, given that measurement error can be significant and self-reported exposure is known to be susceptible to various biases, inferences from studies using this exposure metric should be made with caution

Advertisement of unhealthy commodities in Bristol and South Gloucestershire and rationale for a new advertisement policy
Unhealthy product advertisements, particularly for unhealthy food and drinks, were observed more by younger people and those living in more deprived areas. Policies that specifically restrict such advertisements, therefore, have the potential to reduce health inequalities, as was the hope when this policy was developed. Future evaluation of the policy will provide evidence of any public health impact
Medication Abortion “Reversal” Laws
Objectives. To longitudinally examine the legal landscape of laws requiring abortion patients be informed about the possibility of medication abortion (MAB) “reversal” (in quotes as it does not refer to an evidence-based medical procedure). Methods. We collected legal data on enacted state MAB-reversal laws across all 50 US states and Washington, DC, (collectively, states) from 2012 through 2021. We descriptively analyzed these laws to identify l…

BACKGROUND: In Spring 2020, Georgia public schools implemented remote learning to manage the spread of COVID-19. This study explores the effects of remote schooling on the learning of young children in Georgia during the early COVID-19 pandemic from the perspectives of school administrators and essential working parents. METHODS: A qualitative exploratory study was conducted with eight school administrators and 26 essential working parents of chi…

Martial, Spain, and the dancers from Gades
This paper examines Martial’s epigrams on Spain and on his own Spanishness alongside his epigrams that refer to the Gaditanae, female dancers from Gades [modern Cádiz]. Martial positions himself throughout his corpus as an author in motion around Rome, Italy, and back and forth to Spain. His epigram books are figured as physical objects providing pleasure as they travel around the empire. Like the epigrams, the dancers from Gades are depicted as …

Implementation of Florida Long Term Care Emergency Preparedness Portal Web Site, 2015–2017
We built an online emergency preparedness Web site for Florida nursing homes after an earlier study revealed gaps in information and a lack of available preparedness resources for long-term care providers. The Long Term Care Emergency Preparedness Portal ( www.ltcprepare.org ) was launched in January 2015. We assessed its use and sought suggestions for improvement. Findings indicate that long-term care providers in Florida regularly use the Web s…
Pliny and the Social Life of Philosophy
Pliny the Younger's Letters describe Flavian-era Greek philosophers and Roman wise men ( sapientes ) primarily in terms of their social connections and political activity rather than the substance of their thought. Pliny takes care to delineate his own social, political, and literary engagement with philosophy as both rewarding and potentially dangerous
Teaching Girls About Puberty and Menstrual Hygiene Management in Rural Ethiopia
Educational interventions on menstruation and puberty have emerged as an important element of efforts to improve girls’ knowledge and confidence related to puberty, menstruation, and menstrual hygiene management (MHM). We conducted a mixed-methods evaluation of the Ethiopia Growth and Changes puberty book, developed through research with Ethiopian girls to present scientifically accurate content on MHM in a format appropriate to girls’ lives. Dep…

Revisiting Safe Sleep Recommendations for African-American Infants
Breast Cancer Treatment Experiences by Race and Location in Georgia's Women's Health Medicaid Program
Text, Book, and Textbook
Of all the Roman poets, Martial is perhaps the most concerned with his material medium; the physical book itself is a major character in the Epigrams . In the context of epigram-writing, this is not so unusual; as a genre, epigram is traditionally self-conscious of its development from ‘stone to book’. As recent scholarly work has shown, however, Martial's concern with the materiality of his poetry goes to the heart of his poetic project, as he r…
Now You See Them
In the third book of his letters, Pliny the Younger, in response to a request from Baebius Macer, describes the famous industriousness of his uncle, the elder Pliny. (1) By detailing a day in the life of that Pliny, he explains just how it was that a man who lived only 56 years and was constantly busy with administrative duties was nonetheless able to produce more than seven works, totalling over 100 volumes, including the sprawling Historia natu…

Martial’s Natural History
Martial’s two most perplexing collections of epigrams, the Xenia and the Apophoreta , are read in the context of a contemporary Flavian text: Pliny the Elder’s Natural History . Both texts begin with instructions encouraging the reader to create his or her own desired text by selecting what to read and what to ignore. Despite obvious differences in scale and genre, the two works are shown to have thematic and structural similarities. Martial’s ep…

Does the Earth
Does the Earth Sarah Blake (bio) Does the Earth grow bigger as the strata suggests? Does it weigh more? Are the calculations of the revolutions correct, still? And how we measure time—I consider it. If the Earth grows, I know it is because life continues. We bear ourselves from next to nothing. How is energy conserved?What is the stem cell? What is the ear on the rat’s back? What newness to be dust and compressed and colored for the Earth and to …
