Critical appraisal and gender or ethnicity bias
I do a session with students on a Fundamentals of applied health research module which includes a brief consideration of bias in studies. I inherited the session from a colleague and was familiar already with only some of the topics. I have gained confidence in teaching the others and this year felt the section on bias was beginning to make sense. That bit is certainly informed by work I am involved in about decolonisation and diversification. So this year I found myself wondering if the " standard " critical appraisal checklists ask if the study being appraised shows any bias in...

NaNoWriMo – Days 18-19
My novel is up to 33,835 words now. The daily writing has become pretty habitual, so it feels like smooth sailing till the end.
Mapping the Field
As I write scene after scene, I feel like I’m mapping out a field of possibilities, not just for my story but also for what I can do with fiction writing.
This includes learning how to write different kinds of scenes and aspects of scenes, such as:
Dialogue between two charactersDialogue with more than two charactersFast action scenesSlow action scenesAction interspersed with dialogueIndoor scenesOutdoor scenesPracticing “show me; don’t tell me”...

Why You Should Make a Video in Your Bathrobe
I love mental and emotional resistance training because it has done so much for me over the years. It’s a fabulous way to think about skill-building when you’re diving into new territory, especially when you feel anxious, uncomfortable, or off balance.
Consider learning how to record and publish videos online, for instance.
So much of this is about how you model the experience in your mind.
A video can be a performance. It can be a conversation. It can be a form of play. It can be a gift. You can frame the experience however you like, but you won’t really feel free to choose your framing until yo...

From Feeling Good to Feeling Great
You may be aware that my books, Feeling Good and the Feeling Good Handbook, have sold more than 5 million copies worldwide, and are still popular, even though Feeling Good was published 40 years ago.
One reason for the books enduring popularity is groundbreaking research conducted by Dr. Forrest Scogin and his colleagues at the University of Alabama School of Medicine. They reported that if you simply give people seeking treat for moderate to severe depression a copy of Feeling Good, more than 50% will improve so much within four weeks that they no longer want or need treatment. What is crucial is that these patie...

Commentators and Journalists Weigh In On Digital Health And Related Privacy, Safety And Security Matters. Lots Of Interesting Perspectives - September 29, 2020.
----- This weekly blog is to explore the news around the larger issues around Digital Health, data security, data privacy, AI / ML. technology, social media and related matters. I will also try to highlight ADHA Propaganda when I come upon it. Just so we keep count, the latest Notes from the ADHA Board were dated 6 December, 2018 and we have seen none since! It is worth pointing out that it was only in last little while ( beginning end July 2020 ) the ADHA took down the notification regarding the most recent minutes notification. Embarrassed I guess – as they should be! I wonder will the new CEO make a difference? ...

A critique of the concept of'occupational rights' on Constitution Day 2020
Today is Constitution Day - a good time to reflect on the nature of rights, particularly as this is an apparent topic of interest among some occupational scientists.Many people improperly believe that in an American context rights spring out of the Constitution. Actually, the so-called Bill of Rights is a list of governmental limitations - or actions that the government can not take against individuals related to their rights. One of my favorites is the ninth amendment - so limiting in its scope - it states that enumerating any rights in the Constitution shall not be construed to deny or disparage other rights ...

Will You Ring the Bell?
During Navy SEALs training, which is really tough, recruits can quit by ringing a bell three times. Then they get a shower and a hot meal, and they’re done with the struggle.
No more physical ordeals. No more being wet and sandy. No more sleep deprivation.
And no more opportunity to be part of a SEAL team.
Afterwards the recruits who quit can offer up any reasons they want, but it doesn’t matter in terms of results. They’ve demonstrated that they will give up on the team, so the team grows stronger when they leave.
SEAL training, especially hell week, is a filter. It separates the quitters fro...

This is the first of these for some weeks - first, I was away on leave, then, I was just disorganised.There are too many new research articles and systematic reviews to list, so I suggest you go to McMaster ' sEvidence Alerts and search for your topic of interest.Start on the launch page, where you can see how they identify studies to include. Then go to Search and enter your term(s) - Advanced Search Options lets you specify things like diagnosis, discipline (e.g. Obstetrics) and population (e.g. Neonates). Although your search term may mean you don ' t need to specify discipline or population, of co...
