Social Value of the Child

This pictorial presentation of childhood aims to provide a visual depiction of the social value of the children in rural Punjabi socio-cultural context. I took these photographs in a village in south Punjab, Pakistan while doing an ethnographic inquiry about infant healthcare belief practices and the social value of the child in rural Punjab.

Kenya and Uganda

In this chapter, we describe the post-colonial history of higher education (HE) in Kenya and Uganda to explain why domestic doctoral education is still at a young stage in both countries. We present their national HE frameworks, and thereafter focus on local policy and practice in two public universities: Makerere University in Uganda and the University of Nairobi in Kenya. Our results are informe

Encouraging social innovation for combating poverty : Master's students’ gendered experiences with a service-learning intervention in Kenya and Uganda

Purpose – This study aims to understand master’s students’ experiences of service-learning, following their participation in a workshop with local social innovators whose activities had contributed to combating poverty in East Africa and to determine how this participation affected work on the students’ theses. The authors also explored possible gender differences in this context. Design/methodolo

"Do you see Yonder cloud?" - On priming concepts, a new test, and a familiar outcome. Reply to Lucas et al. : "Familiarity or conceptual priming? Good question! Comment on Stenberg, Hellman, Johansson, and Rosén (2009)"

Lucas, Voss, and Paller sympathize with our intentions but disagree with our findings. They argue that a relation between frequency and conceptual priming may have been obscured by methodological details in our second experiment, therefore failing to complete a bridge between conceptual priming and FN400 with name frequency as the mediator. However, renewed inspections of our experiment and a new

Data on plasma tumour and metabolism related proteins’ potential in differentiation of HFpEF-PH from PAH and in prognosis of left heart failure patients with pulmonary hypertension

The data in the current paper constitutes supplementary material to our article entitled “Plasma tumour and metabolism related biomarkers AMBP, LPL and Glyoxalase I differentiate heart failure with preserved ejection fraction with pulmonary hypertension from pulmonary arterial hypertension” Ahmed et al. (2021). The study investigated 69 plasma tumour- and metabolism related proteins in healthy con

ASPCAP : The APOGEE STELLAR PARAMETER and CHEMICAL ABUNDANCES PIPELINE

The Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE) has built the largest moderately high-resolution (R ≈ 22,500) spectroscopic map of the stars across the Milky Way, and including dust-obscured areas. The APOGEE Stellar Parameter and Chemical Abundances Pipeline (ASPCAP) is the software developed for the automated analysis of these spectra. ASPCAP determines atmospheric parameters

Is tourist walkability and well-being different?

Despite the environmental and health importance of tourist walking, specific research on walking and tourism is limited, with walking in leisure and work contexts often being used as a proxy. To fill this gap, this study identifies the effects of perception of air quality and mitigating climate change on attachment to walking relevant to walkable places and subjective well-being, along with compar

The dis/ablement of bodies in semiotic landscapes – a citizen science approach

Much of our built environment is constructed to accommodate ‘normate’ (Garland-Thomson 1996; Hamraie 2017) bodies. This fact may remain invisible to normate users of public space, much as the ordering of human interaction through categorisation is often invisible (Bowker & Star 1999).

Recognizing diversity within everyone’s lived experience: Strengthening the theoretical foundations of Universal Design

Recognizing diversity within everyone’s lived experience:Strengthening the theoretical foundations of Universal DesignThis paper situates Universal Design (UD) within the framework ofsocial justice theory, drawing Honneth’s conceptualisation of socialjustice as mutual recognition. It takes as a starting point theperspective that UD requires a robust theorisation and rationale tosupport implementat
