Human development has ushered in an era of converging crises: climate change, ecological destruction, disease, pollution, and socioeconomic inequality. This review synthesizes the breadth these interwoven emergencies underscores urgent need for comprehensive, integrated action.

Path analyses revealed that feelings loneliness (both emotional) increased adolescents' experiences, however was associated with higher levels than seventh eighth grade. Early experiences significantly predicted bullying victimisation. Implications for research intervention...
There is a growing interest in different forms of participatory modeling that bring science and lay knowledge into the same space. This recognizes that, traditionally, environmental community has mostly seen stakeholder engagement as ‘follow on’ activity to be undertaken once key scientific research been completed. By excluding communities from process, or at best approaching one-way communication, scientists are missing out on wealth local about very facets environment which they seek...
Introduction. Adolescent interpersonal violence is a global public health problem, yet gaps remain in the epidemiologic literature on adolescent low- and middle-income countries (LMIC). Prevalence rates risk protective factors reported high-income may be different from those LMICs. Culturally-relevant data important efforts aimed at addressing these countries. Methods. A cross-sectional study of Egyptian involvement violent behavior was conducted. Data collected 2006 school-based survey...

Research shows that trauma team formation could potentially improve effectiveness of injury care in rural settings. The aim this study was to determine the feasibility training amongst medical trainees and traffic law enforcement professionals Uganda. Prospective multi-centre interrupted time series analysis an interventional based on 4th edition development course American College Surgeons. Trauma related multiple choice questions (MCQs), non-technical skills were assessed pre-and...
Background: Injury-related mortality exhibits a significant social gradient, particularly in low-middle-income countries (LMICs), with approximately 4.5 million premature deaths annually. Objective: This study explores prehospital and in-hospital barriers to timely injury care as perceived by frontline healthcare personnel Uganda. Methods: We utilized mixed methods approach, gathering qualitative data from five hundred workers including surgical residents, interns, law enforcement...
Care provision in many nations increasingly relies on the work of informal, or non-professional, carers. Often these carers experience substantial disruptions and reductions to their own sociality, weakened social support networks and, ultimately, a heightened risk isolation. We describe qualitative study, comprised interviews, design workshops probes, that investigated community practices Our findings highlight issues related becoming recognising being carer, feelings ignored by, isolated...
Despite the potential use of digital storytelling with marginalised groups, there are few examples its application in homelessness or examinations co-creative relationships this context. Along storytelling, research used immersive media (virtual reality and 360 degree video) to explore place-based social exclusion. In feasibility study, four doctoral researchers at Loughborough University as participants, stories were co-created. The aim study was understand how create stories, through...
Abstract We present novel co-created transdisciplinary research that uses arts and humanities methods to explore air pollution in an informal settlement (Mukuru) Nairobi, Kenya. Air is a well-documented major human health issue, but despite many reduction interventions designed improve health, these are frequently ineffective. Often this because they fail account for local knowledge, cultural practices priorities of the intended recipients. Designing solutions therefore requires in-depth...
In a time of many extremes — climate, pandemic, isolation there is strength in community linkages that can provide resilience through arts-generated connections. The arts-led recovery approach to communities suffering extreme events and social offers the capacity use applied storytelling as both individual practice, generate creative contributions change. This paper will explore extent which, bringing people together, arts create spaces are open conducive real dialogue engagement, developing...
This paper examines how data-driven performance monitoring technologies affect the work of telecommunications field engineers. As a mobile workforce, this occupational group rely on an array smartphone applications to plan, manage and report their jobs, liaise remotely with managers colleagues. These intend help engineers be more productive have greater control over work; however they also gather data related quantity effectiveness labor. We conducted qualitative study examining engineers'...
Storytelling is by its very nature a messy business. Over the past decade or so it has got whole lot messier.In his book After Method: Mess in Social Science Research (2004), John Law calls upon fellow sociologists to abandon their loyalty notion of single scientific truth and associated methodologies ways interpreting world instead embrace vague, difffuse unspecific, slippery, emotional, ephemeral, elusive indistinct Weltanschauung (2), whose multiple often contradictory truths play out...
Abstract Background Road traffic injuries and their resulting mortality disproportionately affect rural communities in low-middle-income countries (LMICs) due to limited human infrastructural resources for post-crash care. Evidence from high income show that trauma team development training could improve the efficiency, care, outcome of injuries. A paucity studies has evaluated feasibility applicability this concept resource constrained settings. The aim study protocol is establish a cohort...
Student mental health and wellbeing have come under increased scrutiny in recent years.
