Increasing Preterm Delivery and Small for Gestational Age Trends in South Carolina during the Covid-19 Pandemic
Preterm delivery (PTD) complications are a major cause of childhood morbidity and mortality. We aimed to assess trends in PTD and small for gestational age (SGA) and whether trends varied between race-ethnic groups in South Carolina (SC). We utilized 2015-2021 SC vital records linked to hospitalization and emergency department records. PTD was defined as clinically estimated gestation less than (<) 37 weeks (wks.) with subgroup analyses of PTD < …

Tackling and Mitigating Health Inequalities – Policymakers and Practitioners ‘Talk and Draw’ their Theories
In the context of a long‐standing academic acceptance of the socially structured nature of health inequalities, there has been a growing literature that critically examines policies that aim to reduce them. This has demonstrated inadequate policy assessment of the nature of the problem of health inequalities and correspondingly partial solutions that privilege interventions that focus on individual lifestyle solutions over more structural approac…

The Economic Benefits of the Biological Control of Rabbits in A ustralia, 1950–2011
Wild E uropean rabbits are serious agricultural and environmental pests in A ustralia; myxoma virus and rabbit haemorrhagic disease virus have been used as biocontrol agents to reduce impacts. We review the literature on changes in rabbit numbers together with associated reports on the economic benefits from controlling rabbits on agricultural production. By using loss–expenditure frontier models in with and without biocontrol scenarios, it is co…
Health promotion and health systems
One of the five action domains in the Ottawa Charter was Reorienting Health Services. In this paper, we reflect on why progress in this domain has been somewhat lethargic, particularly compared with some of the other action domains, and why now it is important to renew our commitment to this domain. Reorienting health services has been largely overlooked and opportunities missed, although good exceptions do exist. The occasion of the 25th anniver…
“Bytes, Web Camera, Democratisation!” A Critical Examination of the Internet’s Impact upon Celebrity Studies
The Internet has both developed and challenged the predominant paradigms via which the phenomenon of celebrity is examined. This paper explores a variety of celebrity studies theories and tests their merits within the postmodern age of the Internet and its distinctive brand of celebrity. The relevance of several postmodern theories are analysed with respect to the Internet and celebrity, including the integral roles the simulacra and disembodimen…
Economic evaluation of R&D investment in natural resource management
An approach is presented for evaluating in economic terms the investment made by a publicly funded natural resource management research and development (R&D) funding organisation (Land & Water Australia) over its 16-year life. The approach combines qualitative methods to describe research investments and their outputs, outcomes and benefits with conventional cost-benefit analyses that produce measures of the worth of the investment. While the maj…
