By amplifying the voices of field experts and facilitating connections with influential policymakers, the forum provides a platform for showcasing innovative, accessible, and sustainable practices, as well as significant initiatives. Through its editions, the GHF has emerged as a pivotal event in addressing global health challenges.<br /><br />For its 10th edition, from May 27 – 29, 2024, the GHF will address crucial issues for our future under the theme “Health, A Common Good!” The GHF transcends the boundaries of the healthcare system, considering the social and environmental determinants of health, with a specific focus on how environmental degradation is profoundly impacting human health.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://grand-jet-dor.genevahealthforum.com/VM80bhXZr3GBIgP_E7BstiRXxmYfSfKdv6M2cIjUgt08xlyKJ-qsKyVOfO8SrcYVk7Z5uDL4WAV3aV3inOC_U2cylT9sdKvUvCoJSFpfEUFR3Eu_WvoJL6BkxUNU4qTA6RLS6-jXO5ZUmbcMNL1hLs/s2500/ghf_axa_banner.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1492" data-original-width="2500" height="191" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzF4H-_proyMNs4aVtsfwlhw_8RS3fYrVM80bhXZr3GBIgP_E7BstiRXxmYfSfKdv6M2cIjUgt08xlyKJ-qsKyVOfO8SrcYVk7Z5uDL4WAV3aV3inOC_U2cylT9sdKvUvCoJSFpfEUFR3Eu_WvoJL6BkxUNU4qTA6RLS6-jXO5ZUmbcMNL1hLs/w320-h191/ghf_axa_banner.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>As part of its mission to advance academic research on key societal challenges and contribute to human progress, the AXA Research Fund (https://axa-research.org/) AXA Group’s global science philanthropy launched in 2008, is teaming up with the GHF in this endeavor.<br /><br />In light of this collaboration, the Geneva Health Forum (GHF) is introducing a new call for the <a href="https://grand-jet-dor.genevahealthforum.com/">Grand Jet d’Or de Genève Award</a>, in partnership with the AXA Research Fund: Health & medical solutions to address the adverse effects of pollution on humans.<br /><br />The World Health Organization estimates that exposure to air pollution is responsible for about 7 million premature deaths worldwide each year. Addressing pollution-related health issues is crucial, as underscored on May 24, 2023, by the World Health Assembly's resolution “WHA76.17 - The impacts of chemicals, waste, and pollution on human health.” The resolution calls upon Member States to work on human health impacts associated with plastics, act on linkages between chemicals, waste, pollution and other health priorities, as well as to prepare a proposal for a science-policy panel to contribute to the sound management of chemicals and waste.<br /><br />Pollution is a major global health issue, affecting human health by causing respiratory diseases, heart problems, and cancer due to exposure to pollutants in the air, water, and soil. Specific attention has been given to pollutants such as per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), which are linked to cancer, thyroid disease, and developmental issues. Other pollutants such as heavy metals, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), particulate matter, persistent organic pollutants (POPs), and indoor air pollutants, present serious health risks, including neurological damage, reproductive disorders, and respiratory illnesses, highlighting the broad impact of pollution on human wellbeing.<br /><br />Building on this international momentum, the Grand Jet d’Or de Genève 2024 will focus on the nexus of pollution and its health impacts.<br /><br />The objective of the Grand Jet d’Or de Genève Award is to support an research team engaged in researching or implementing research-based projects with a focus on health treatment, measurements, use of data, and community involvement in addressing pollution-related health issues. The proposed projects must demonstrate their potential to change health practices and improve health outcomes in relation to pollution of air, water and soil, including but not limited to PFAS. Multidisciplinary teams exploring innovative practices or tools will be favoured.<br /><br />The projects should not only focus on preventive measures to reduce pollution in the environment, but also encompass a broader scope, including assessing existing pollution, removing pollutants from the body and environment, developing medical solutions for pollution-related diseases, and finding ways to enhance health despite existing pollution.<br /><br />The call will be open from March 11 to April 21, 2024, midnight (CET). Applications must be submitted online in English.<br /><br />The Scientific Committee will select the top seven applications, which will then be submitted to the Programme Committee for the final selection of the winner. The award- winning research group will be announced on Tuesday, May 27, 2024, after the first day of the Geneva Health Forum, in the presence of the winning team.<br /><br />The Grand Jet d’Or de Genève Award carries a prize of €50,000, awarded by the AXA Research Fund.<br /><br />To prepare your proposal, you can view the complete proposal form:<br />https://grandjetdor2024form.genevahealthforum.com<br /><br />If you need more information: contact AT genevahealthforum.com<br /><br />HIFA* Profile: Eric Comte is Executive Director, Geneva Health Forum, External Affairs Directorate, Geneva University Hospitals.

Theorists create a structure around which their approach to understanding human conduct is built. Familiarity with the overall structure facilitates generalized discourse among those interested in the framework. An architectonic map identifies all the major components of a scientific text or canon, including its assumptions, concepts, propositions, and theories, and the paths connecting these components. Mapping architectonics is an intersemiotic (across two different types of sign systems) translation process when the translation product is a diagram, and an intralingual process when the product is a narrative." p.111. <span style="font-size: x-small;">(My emphasis)</span></blockquote><p></p><blockquote>"Models employ symbols (terms and their meanings), but also have an iconic function (a design meant to represent a object or process in important ways) and an indexical function (notation indicating and pointing to persons, processes, relationships, organizations)." p.112. </blockquote><p><br /></p>

We admit that globalisation refers to all aspects of life and that, depending on how it is questioned and operationalised, it may or may not be beneficial. Therefore, globalisation “has to do with the construction, codification, and distribution of knowledge that turns into goods for sale” (Skovsmose, 2014, p. 130). This way, mathematical knowledge is involved as part of the foundations of society, making it necessary to question its position in this laborious civilising equation (Civiero and Bazzo, 2020). In this context we delegate some power to critical mathematics education (CME) by considering that it can contribute to the formation of critical individuals by promoting reflection on this process. Bazzo (2019) considers us to experience a civilising equation whose variables need to be discussed in schools." pp.296-297.<br /></td><td width="50%"><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><span>"The word citizenship, a contested concept, emerges in different discourses that can hide contrasting interests. Differences in its meanings are enhanced with the changes in society through history. This chapter presents a discussion about mathematics education for citizenship and its outcomes. School presents itself as a stage of dispute and a space for expressing different ideologies that can configure ways of thinking and structuring an education on the topic of citizenship. Mathematics education is shown to be supportive of different citizenship discourses. In a globalised world with deep inequalities, a type of mathematics education for citizenship that matches with inclusion and diversity is required; one which considers global issues. The proposed landscape of investigation Global Visibility Matters is a possible support aid for mathematics classes, based on enabling students to develop global citizenship. By reading and interpreting a social situation as being open to change, it becomes possible for the students to be recognised as—and to act as—global citizens." p.133.</span></div><br /></div></td></tr></tbody></table></div></div></div><div><br /></div><br />Chapter 8 <i>Global Citizenship</i>, Manuella Carrijo, pp. 133-147.<div><br /></div><div>Chapter 18 <i>Critical Mathematics Education in Action: To Be or Not to Be</i>.

Questions remain about how many people were misled by previous advice, whether that advice was deliberate, and whether WHO's AUDIT test (currently used as the basis for the DrinkAware test) should continue to be used by anyone as an unsupervised self-evaluation tool.<br /><br />BACKGROUND On 22 February 2024 I reported on HIFA an apparent problem with DrinkAware, the UK's largest alcohol charity, funded by the alcohol industry. https://www.hifa.org/dgroups-rss/alcohol-use-disorders-79-role-alcohol-industry-10-alcohol-industry-and-misinformation<br /><br />I took their Drinking Check. I posed as a man who drinks 42 units per week (3X the recommended maximum) and DrinkAware told me: "Great news! You are at lower risk of alcohol-related problems. This means you are at lower risk of serious diseases such as stroke, heart and liver disease, and seven types of cancer and may already be noticing the benefits of lower risk drinking such as deeper sleep, more energy and brighter moods."<br /><br />There was no advice to reduce my consumption.<br /><br />This test was repeated by other HIFA members in subsequent days, with the same results.<br /><br />On 4 March 2024 we reported our findings to the World Health Organization.<br /><br />CHANGE IN ADVICE Today, 10 March 2024, I took the test again. As before I posed as a man who drinks 42 units per week. This time I got a different result:<br /><br />"You are on the right track. You are at lower risk of alcohol-related problems... To keep your health risks low, the UK Chief Medical Officers advice is to drink no more than 14 units a week. If you are regularly drinking above 14 units per week there are tips and advice below about how to cut down."<br /><br />INTERPRETATION Prior to 4 March 2024, DrinkAware was encouraging many heavy drinkers (up to 42 units per week) to continue drinking as they are.<br /><br />DrinkAware claims that its Drinking Check tool was used by 250,991 people in 2021, so it appears that potentially tens or even hundreds of thousands of people drinking 14-42 units per week may have been misinformed.<br /><br />At some point between 4 March and 9 March, Drinkaware changed their Drinking Check tool so that heavy drinkers (up to 42 units per week) are now advised to cut down.<br /><br />SHOULD WHO's AUDIT TEST BE USED AS AN UNSUPERVISED SELF-EVALUATION TOOL?<br /><br />Previous messages on HIFA have suggested that AUDIT should only be used as a clinical tool by health professionals, and not as an unsupervised self-evaluation tool. WHO's AUDIT manual notes: 'Care must be taken to tell patients why questions about alcohol use are being asked and to provide information they need to make appropriate responses. A decision must be made whether to administer the AUDIT orally or as a written, self-report questionnaire.' https://iris.who.int/bitstream/handle/10665/67205/WHO_MSD_MSB_01.6a-eng.pdf<br /><br />NEXT STEPS<br /><br />How many people were misled by previous advice, was that advice deliberate, and should WHO's AUDIT test (currently used as the basis for the DrinkAware test) continue to be made available as an unsupervised self-evaluation tool?<br /><br />I invite HIFA members to suggest next steps. Are you a health journalist (or do you know a health journalist) who might be interested to look into this in more depth? Please pass this on and/or contact me: neil@hifa.org<br /><br />Meanwhile I shall report this new finding to WHO.<br /><br />I look forward to your comments and suggestions: hifa AT hifaforums.org<br /><br />Best wishes, Neil<br /><br /><script async="" charset="utf-8" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"></script></div><div><i><b>Finally ...</b></i></div><br />Dear HIFA colleagues,<br /><br />We now enter our 6th and final week of the deep-dive into Alcohol Use Disorders, where I invite you to reflect on what has been discussed so far (and what has not been discussed). In your view, what is the key learning in relation to the 5 questions we have explored:<br /><br />1. Do people understand the health, socio-economic and environmental harms of alcohol? What matters to them? How can they be better informed? How to reduce stigma? 2. Do health workers have adequate knowledge to prevent and manage alcohol use disorders among their patients? What matters to them? How can they be better informed? 3. What is the role of the alcohol industry? What can be done to address misinformation from the alcohol industry? 4. Do public health professionals and policymakers have adequate knowledge to prevent and treat alcohol use disorders in their country? What are current national policies and what more can be done to fully implement those policies? 5. How can we define and measure alcohol use disorders?<br /><br />To help with this, I have prepared a full compilation of our discussion so far (205 pages):<br /><br />https://www.hifa.org/sites/default/files/publications_pdf/Alcohol_Use_Disorders_Compilation2.pdf<br /><br />I shall now work on an edited version (selected text organised under subheadings for each of the 5 questions and for other topics) and will get this to you asap.<br /><br />Many thanks, Neil<br /><br />Peter Joneshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17111028529581774728noreply@blogger.comCorner House, Market St, Charlbury, Chipping Norton OX7 3PN, UK51.8729403 -1.482394723.562706463821158 -36.6386447 80.183174136178849 33.6738553tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25609068.post-15401900434890175572024-03-10T13:13:00.009+00:002024-03-10T22:16:17.357+00:00Publication list - Peter Jones<p>Previously, I used to maintain a publications list, one that runs from the year 'dot' (ego eh!).

It enables us to organise educational processes so that students and teachers are able to get involved in explorations guided by dialogical interactions. It attempts to address explicit or implicit forms of social injustice by means of mathematics, and also to promote a critical conception of mathematics, challenging the assumption that the subject represents objectivity and neutrality. Landscapes of Investigation provides many illustrations of how this can be done in primary, secondary, and university education. It also illustrates how exploring landscapes of investigation can contribute to mathematics teacher education programmes. </p><p>This edited volume is the result of a collaboration established through the Colloquium in Research in Critical Mathematics Education, which took place in 2016, 2018, and 2019 in Brazil. Its twenty-eight contributors are young researchers from Brazil, Chile, Colombia, India, Mexico and the USA, who are dedicated to the further development of critical mathematics education. </p><p>Organised in eighteen chapters, the volume presents examples of engaging students from a diversity of social and economic backgrounds, age ranges, and abilities across different countries. The chapters present original findings on the social aspects of all levels of mathematics education. Landscapes of Investigation is of particular relevance to those with an interest in the potential of mathematics education to challenge social injustices."</p><p>Penteado, M. & Skovsmose, O., editor.

In supervision with the team's manager they would want to know what is 'happening'. It being important not to create (social) dependency, or worse support someone in their alcohol misuse.<br /><br />There was a sense, still is(?) that in substance misuse (across forms) - the individual has to reach 'rock-bottom', literally the 'gutter' that is the point they decide (really?)** to live, or carry on to suffer irreversible brain damage, or premature death. Regards the 'brain damage' it was a struggle for 45-60 minutes given the impact upon short-term memory, what time, .... is it indeed? When the patient was not living alone, how did the relative, family cope?<br /><br />Is having to reach the gutter, the bottom, a trope/myth? In psychosis rather than assume the patient is beyond being reached prior to being medicated there are psycho-social interventions that can be commenced: being available / with. Here though this is usually 'first episode'. There is no analogue here, unless first admission to an in-patient unit is taken as a golden opportunity? But this also depends on its nature (funding, staffing - expertise), a general adult mental health ward, or specialist unit.<br /><br />https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0048347/<br /><br />What is the current strategy?<br /><br />In terms of 'HIFA' - and the person that counts**, not only do they not have the 'information'; they do not have the EXISTENTIAL INFORMATION as it relates to them: 'Health Information for YOU'! <br /><br />Again in <b>Hodges' model we can contrast the dichotomy/polarisation of INDIVIDUAL :: GROUP.</b><br /><br />The <b>model's being situated</b>; and able to encompass data, information, knowledge (facts, for example, and their delivery) - wisdom (Multi-contextual / transdisciplinary..).<br /><br />I admire people who work in these services (learning disability and palliative care); as they must be severely tested as they retain an ability - the humanity - to 'see' the person whatever the patient's situation with their lack of awareness (capacity..?) and its critical salience.<br /><br />Peter Jones<br />Community Mental Health Nurse and Researcher <br />Blogging at "Welcome to the QUAD"<br /><a href="http://hodges-model.blogspot.com/"></a><a href="http://hodges-model.blogspot.com/">http://hodges-model.blogspot.com/</a><br /><a href="http://twitter.com/h2cm"></a><a href="http://twitter.com/h2cm">http://twitter.com/h2cm</a><br />h2cmng at yahoo.co.uk</div><div><br /></div><div>Location: It was just a cappuccino.</div><div><br /></div><div>**Which points to the relevance of the POLITICAL care/knowledge domain in Hodges' model.<br /><br /></div>Peter Joneshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17111028529581774728noreply@blogger.com2 Gerard St, Ashton-in-Makerfield, Wigan WN4 9AN, UK53.4875871 -2.636856525.177353263821153 -37.7931065 81.797820936178852 32.5193935tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25609068.post-20226819966606467312024-02-27T19:22:00.000+00:002024-02-27T19:22:48.844+00:00Information and Records Management Society [IRMS] Conference Bursaries<div dir="ltr" style="outline: none !important;">Dear list,<br /><br />Apologies for the cross-posting.

Apparently, the key is adding -ed to many words. <p style="background-color: white; color: #26282a; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; outline: none !important;">https://www.research-in-germany.org/idw-news/en_US/2024/2/2024-02-19__I_m_gonna_get_totally_and_utterly_X-ed.__OR__Can_you_really_use_any_English_word_to_mean__drunk__</p>This stood out for me as Hodges' model can potentially encompass the full corpus of a language, with the various contexts in which language is applied/used.<br /><br />Significant of course informationally, in evidence-based practice, and research, were 'definition of terms' are (usually?) essential.<br /><br />Also reminded of national variation in clinical/medical terminology. Scottish slang for injection includes 'jag'.<br /><br />For health communication and HIFA, clearly language is fundamental and presents a real 'can of worms' (sorry!) in sense-making, creating 'noise' in the communication channels.<br /><br />Should health services/systems effect a (gradual) change (shift) of emphasis to education and prevention - with the requisite policy support (utopic?) then this will need to be addressed.<br /><br />In checking this news, it appears Germany has a more acute problem with alcohol. Can anyone 'local' - please shed any light on this?<br /><br />I will post again about the <a href="https://www.hifa.org/news/hifa-announces-deep-dive-discussion-alcohol-use-disorders-starts-5-february-2024">HIFA discussion</a> with a week ... left and highlight the above.<br /><br />Many thanks<br /><br />Peter Jones <br />Community Mental Health Nurse and Researcher<br />CMHT, Prescott House, Salford NW England, UK (Mon-Tues)<br />Blogging at "Welcome to the QUAD"<br />http://hodges-model.blogspot.com/<br />http://twitter.com/h2cm<br /><br />h2cmuk AT yahoo.co.uk<br /></div></div></div>Peter Joneshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17111028529581774728noreply@blogger.comWigan Pier, Wallgate, Wigan WN3 4EU, UK53.542280899999987 -2.638641225.232047063821142 -37.7948912 81.852514736178833 32.5176088tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25609068.post-16209761528402666562024-02-23T17:55:00.007+00:002024-03-13T10:01:17.196+00:00Do we need to / can we 'cancel' Mental Health Nursing / Psychiatric Nursing?<span style="font-size: medium;">Ever since August 15th 1977 (and prior to starting in the NHS), I've been acutely aware of the politics of my chosen career choice. Once again this explains my focus here since April 2006 and prior...<br /><br />Make no mistake, starting as a Nursing Assistant at Winwick hospital, a Victorian asylum then two months later entering Warrington School of Nursing was a test. Quickly, you were preoccupied with trying to innovate and move beyond task oriented care, ritualised practice, trying to escape (the irony) from custodial care - despite the clink of keys (even on non-secure wards/clinical areas). <br /><br />The quality of debate on Twi/X regards psychiatry is saddening. <br /><br />The structure and domains of Hodges' model have been applied to the following editorial:<br /><br />Wand, T.

For example, (12th March) apart from people employed in tax and undertakers how many professions, would admit to a value system that aims for, seeks making the collective enterprise redundant? A utopic appeal no doubt, and this would for a population demand that the socio-political foundation (ills!) for our individual lives are finally addressed. What are referred to as the determinants of health. It is a sign of the times that trying to do a search on this, 'redundancy' / redundant is taken as related to the state of being employed, not an ideal.<br /><br />If this sounds like pie-in-the-sky, consider the birth of social medicine - the NHS.

Responses have been polarized; with some predicting the end of the world and others celebrating a technology with the potential to create a new industrial revolution. The biggest difference between these new algorithmic technologies and those that preceded them are the potential for new AI models to generate creative content. Visual art, photography, literature and digital scripting have been produced by AI, to varying levels of success. To the existing debates around AI (questions of ethics, consciousness, or cyborg theory, for example) have arisen new problems regarding the role of art and the artist in the age, not of mechanical reproduction, but mechanical production. Can a robot be creative?<br /><br />This conference aims to bring together researchers from across media studies, music and sound, the visual arts, video games, film and TV, animation, sociology, history, literature, politics, philosophy and aesthetic theory, to interrogate the growing role of AI in the creative industries, its potentials (both negative and positive), and how we are to react to the rise of AI as both tool and creator.<br /><br /><div class="separator"><a href="https://futureworks.ac.uk/news/2023/12/artificial-intelligence-conference/" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhOnYuPS05YzoEDbk7NVyKuXxINsblNRmlTV86xlf0yrVTxEdMFxkfDZPF7VL9gyOWIC3KmVPk3FUSrw8J5GLOLttkjBkJ5iqVFtewyMw1GZrd3D72UwKpuWhvVbLweTiMepjxuoFg1yceEITOnqciEdJ_2pNaxu4lUS87rq-pMTSpqABCgm6D/s320/AI-in-the-creative-industries-724x1024.jpg" /></a></div>Abstracts for 20-minute papers are welcomed on subjects including, but not limited to:<br /><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>AI creativity: is it truly creative?</li><li>AI and transhumanism</li><li>AI and the question of consciousness</li><li>Copyright law and artificial intelligence</li><li>Utilization of AI as a creative tool</li><li>The depiction of AI in creative media</li><li>The ethics of AI usage and its potential to help or harm</li><li>The aesthetics of artificial intelligence</li></ul>Please submit 250 word abstracts with accompanying 50-word bio and 5 keywords to organizer joe.darlington AT futureworks.ac.uk by 29th February 2024. <div><br /></div><div>Submissions are encouraged from academics, postgraduate researchers and non-academic speakers alike.

As the majority of people are aware his thought and books, especially the Gaia hypothesis with Lynn Margulis caught the public's imagination from first publication and through the 1970s. Was there a Horizon TV programme? James Lovelock's influence was not just in ecology, but also earth (planetary) sciences through work for NASA. In early 2021 I thought I would reach out, through his most recent book and publisher/agent. I passed a message, which was forwarded but I never heard anything more.</div><div><br /></div><div>As a nurse - with experience in older adult community mental health, I was acutely aware that this senior gentleman - in every sense of the word - may not want to be mithered by a scouser*, now living near Wigan Pier. I stressed not wanting to disturb the Dr. I also thought, given Dr Lovelock being of independent mind - a maverick, he might on the contrary love to be disturbed. </div><div><br /></div><div>Sadly, I was too late, hearing the news of Dr Lovelock's death in 2022. Of course, I was seeking validation (and still am) for the project here. I can't help thinking though, that Dr Lovelock really would have 'got' Hodges' model.</div><div><br /></div><div>James Lovelock: <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01h666h">BBC Radio 4 The Life Scientific</a><br /><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><></b></div><div><b style="text-align: center;"><br /></b></div><div>Philosophy has long been an interest B.A.(Joint Hons.)

Hodges' model as a data, information, knowledge, educational (e.g., case study) portal. </span></p><p>Given a specific context what concepts might we 'find' at a,b,c and d below; and elsewhere in the model? How do we characterise the 'individual', the group? While in a virtual (and conceptual / threshold space: Hodges' model!) this might, encountered as text be a less virtiginous and tiring experience*? <span style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 10px;">Hodges' model is an ideal fit in fact - well a candidate space at least.</span></p><p><span style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 10px;">Consider how far, since the early 2000s and 2012 (not to mention 1991) technology (hard and soft) has come in terms of language understanding and AI - ChatGPT. Hodges' model can leverage this in the first instance. As a template Hodges' model is a proverbial virtual lab - a potential situated corpus - also awaiting its dinosaur.</span></p><div style="font-family: Trebuchet, "Trebuchet MS", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18.08px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 10px;"><div><div style="text-align: center;"><span face="Trebuchet, "Trebuchet MS", Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 18.08px;"><span face="Trebuchet, "Trebuchet MS", Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 18.08px; font-weight: bold;">Individual</span><br /></span><b style="font-size: 18.08px;"> </b><b style="font-size: medium;"> |</b></div><span face="Trebuchet, "Trebuchet MS", Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 18.08px;"><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: lime;"><span style="font-size: 18.08px;"> </span><span style="font-size: medium;">INTERPERSONAL</span></span><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span><span style="font-size: 18.08px;">: </span><span style="color: blue; font-size: medium;">SCIENCES </span></b></div></span></div><div style="font-size: 18.08px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b><span style="background-color: white;">HUMANISTIC </span>-------------------------------------- MECHANISTIC </b></span></div><div style="font-size: 18.08px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><span style="color: red;"> SOCIOLOGY</span> : POLITICAL </b></span></div><div style="font-size: 18.08px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>|<br /></b></span></div><div class="nobrtable" style="font-size: 18.08px; text-align: center;"><b style="font-size: 18.08px;">Group</b><br /><table border="0" cellpadding="6" cellspacing="0" style="font-size: 18.08px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 100%;"><tbody><tr><td style="background-color: lime; text-align: justify;" width="50%"><div style="text-indent: 10px;"><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;"><b style="font-size: 18.08px;">a)</b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b style="font-size: 18.08px;"><br /></b></div><b>user (sector) purposes<br /><br />concepts</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><i><br /></i>critical thinking<br /><br />reflection<br /><br />model, modelling<br /><br /></b></div></div></td><td style="background-color: #3399cc;" width="50%"><p></p><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: right;"><b style="font-size: 18.08px; text-indent: 10px;">b)</b></div><span style="font-size: 18.08px; text-indent: 10px;"><b><br />space<br /><br />3D - graphics<br /><br />representation<br /><br />health / nurse theory<br /><br />models of care<br /><br /></b></span></div></td></tr><tr><td style="background-color: #ff2d00; text-align: center;" width="50%"><b>patient/carer engagement<br /><br />metric for: self care<br /><br />integrated care<br /><br />person-centred care<br /></b><br />integrated care<br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 18.08px; text-indent: 10px;">c)</span></div></td><td width="50%"><div style="text-align: center; text-indent: 10px;"><b>open source/commercial apps</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 18.08px; text-indent: 10px;"><b><br />outcomes</b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 18.08px; text-indent: 10px;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 18.08px; text-indent: 10px;"><b>prevention</b><br /></span><span style="font-size: 18.08px; text-indent: 10px;"><br />sustainable health care<br /><br />determinants of health</span></div><br /><div style="text-align: right;"><span style="font-size: 18.08px; text-align: center; text-indent: 10px;">d)</span></div></td></tr></tbody></table></div></div><div style="font-family: Trebuchet, "Trebuchet MS", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18.08px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 10px;"><br /></div><div style="font-family: Trebuchet, "Trebuchet MS", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18.08px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 10px;"><br /></div>Brian X.

(9) How can they be better informed? (5)<span style="font-family: verdana;">Further to the post on 1st February 2024:</span><div data-setdir="false" dir="ltr" style="outline: none;"><h4 style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://hodges-model.blogspot.com/2024/01/hifa-alcohol-misuse-disc.html">HIFA discussion on Alcohol Use Disorders, 5 Feb - 17 Mar 2024</a></h4><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">- I have f/w some reflections (edited here). You may have your own experiences, skills, knowledge to contribute?<br /><br /></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><></span></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />As a teenager you were very aware of peer pressure (as a social expectation) to drink. Is it an acquired taste?<br /><br />The media played a key role - advertising "Tetley Bitter-men", "Double Diamond - works wonders", Babycham, Advocaat, Martini Rosso .. and many of the popular TV series we consumed (pardon the pun).<br /><br />Getting in the pub AND served was a right of passage - and a rather 'tame' one for a white, male.<br /><br />In the family the harms and risks of alcohol were explained. <br /><br />Sometimes they were demonstrated at parties, weddings, the aunt, uncle - relative who was notorious for having too much.<br /><br />Studying literature at school did have a role to play - although less directly.<br /><br />Although on reflection when there were school assemblies I wonder if 'drink' (Church of England) was mentioned?<br />Interesting perhaps - the change in daily school routine.<br /><br />I remember at a birthday party for a fellow class pupil at a social club, the birthday boy was sick all over the table - yes - had been drinking.<br /><br />Tempered my attitude early on - c.15.<br /><br />As a nursing asst. and student nurse you realised the other - dark - side. The key being the contradiction that alcohol represents:</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-family: verdana;">Drink to relax, socialise, be friendly, enjoy yourself;</span></li><li><span style="font-family: verdana;">Impact of your health, risk of addiction, violence, (brewer's droop was an early lesson - tho not practically);</span></li><li><span style="font-family: verdana;">IF YOU develop a drink problem then you're on your own and so is your family (there are of course agencies in developed nations - but the funding disparity - as in, gambling, tobacco?).</span></li></ul></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">In a 'local' - public house - pub it was known in 1970s for some regulars (invariably men) to down c.12 (more?) pints in a night - even after drinking hours: they were heavy goods vehicle drivers.<br /><br />---------<br />I may have posted before - how in 1987-88 I completed a study of alcohol (intervention) teams, Preston, Salford, Blackburn here in NW England. The consultant psychiatrist made a key point about the (much debated even then) use of economic levers to help reduce alcohol consumption.<br /><br />Scotland have just updated their intervention:<br /><br /><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/society/2024/feb/08/scotland-raises-minimum-alcohol-prices-by-almost-one-third">https://www.theguardian.com/society/2024/feb/08/scotland-raises-minimum-alcohol-prices-by-almost-one-third</a><br /><br />As a student nurse - I was already aware of some of the inorganic molecules that have been found in space: the original primordial soup!<br /><br />The chemical names still remind me of a chemical plant, such as the former ICI plant at Widnes / Runcorn, Cheshire, England, e.g.:<br /><br /><a href="https://thumbs.dreamstime.com/b/heavy-industry-panorama-night-panoramic-view-chemical-plant-refinery-blue-sky-illumination-some-freight-85481422.jpg">https://thumbs.dreamstime.com/b/heavy-industry-panorama-night-panoramic-view-chemical-plant-refinery-blue-sky-illumination-some-freight-85481422.jpg</a><br /><br />This in-turn takes me to the miracle that is the liver - the biological chemical plant - with a potential powerful message in how 'alcohol' is broken down:<br /><br /><a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6527027/">https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6527027/</a><br /><br />Sometimes insight into this can work wonders in terms of motivation for change - the facts - not trying to scare (waste of time)...?<br /><br />Which brings me to the obvious 'contradiction' in caring for people with a primary / secondary problem with alcohol.<br /><br />Having a liver function test.<br /><br />If it's OK that *means* I can carry on!!<br /><br />I have over the years developed what imho I consider to be potentially therapeutic relationships with patients affected by alcohol.<br /><br />I say potentially as I, with supervision, have had to withdraw input and discharge them. Even if the client can't 'draw the line', you cannot support the patient in their damaging alcohol consumption and related behaviours. The offer of further support was offered, with signposts should there be a change of mind.<br /><br />Alcohol, tobacco - vapes, the 'mental pollution' that can be passed as legitimate 'advertising', fake news ... still calls for a generic model, a universal conceptual framework for personal and global health - across literacies and forms of informatics:<br /><br />'alcohol'<br /><a href="https://hodges-model.blogspot.com/search?q=alcohol">https://hodges-model.blogspot.com/search?q=alcohol</a><br /><br />Just to close I saw an item (I will try to find...) on the preponderance of 'smoking' in films 1940s - present day.<br /><br />Still a problem now. <br /><br />Of course: advocacy for health requires constant vigilance.</span></div></div>Peter Joneshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17111028529581774728noreply@blogger.comWigan Pier, Wallgate, Wigan WN3 4EU, UK53.542280899999987 -2.638641225.232047063821142 -37.7948912 81.852514736178833 32.5176088tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25609068.post-36274594743766384412024-02-09T23:27:00.001+00:002024-02-09T23:59:41.422+00:00Theater of War Productions - An Enemy of The People Feb 22 + 24<div style="background-color: white; outline: none; text-align: center;"><span face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="color: #26282a; font-size: large;">Cast Update!
