Environmental Protection in the Argentinian Supreme Court Case Law
Authors: Arlettaz Fernando
Published: May 2022

According to Article 41 of the Argentinian Constitution, all inhabitants have a right to environmental protection. Citizens have a right to a healthy and balanced environment, suitable for human development and productive activities to satisfy present needs without compromising those of future generations. The paper aims to analyze the tensions implicit in applying this constitutional norm by the Federal Supreme Court using the methodology of public law and legal theory. Indeed, the constitutional provision is broad, and its interpretation can lead to different solutions in a specific case. There are three main issues of legal interest discussed here. First, there is a delicate balance of protecting the environment against private property and economic activity, which the latter also being assured by the constitution. The point is particularly acute in Argentina, whose economy strongly depends on the primary sector. Second, there are tensions between the political branches (legislative/executive) and the judiciary. Environmental standards established by the judiciary are usually higher than those decided by the legislative branch. However, giving the judges the possibility to determine those standards in the absence of any previous legal norm (or even, sometimes, against that norm) could be a source of legal uncertainty. Finally, due to the federal nature of the Argentinian political system, the distribution of legislative and jurisdictional powers between the federal and local governments is disputed. In this equation, leaning towards the federal government may favor more homogeneity in environmental standards, which would simultaneously reduce local autonomy. This paper shows that the Supreme Court tries to balance different constitutional values in resolving these tensions. The difficulty of finding an adequate constitutional balance is usually added to the legal and factual complexity of environmental issues, and the result is not always completely satisfactory.

Thoracoabdominal injury with evisceration from a chainsaw assault: a case report
Authors: Salami Babatunde Abayomi , Ayoade Babatunde Adeteru , Shomoye El-Zaki Abdullahi , Nwokoro Chigbundu Collins
Published: May 2022

The usual cause of penetrating thoracoabdominal injuries with evisceration are stab wounds with knives and other sharp weapons used during fights and conflicts. Evisceration of the abdominal viscera as a result of trauma, with its attendant morbidity and mortality, requires early intervention. Gunshot wounds can also cause penetrating thoracoabdominal injuries. We report the case of a 52-year-old male patient, a worker at a timber-processing factory, who was assaulted with a chainsaw by his colleague following a disagreement. He was seen at the accident and emergency department of our hospital with a thoracoabdominal injury about 1.5 hours after the attack. He had a left thoracoabdominal laceration with abdominal evisceration and an open left pneumothorax. He was managed operatively, made a full recovery, and was discharged 16 days after admission. He was readmitted 4 months after the initial surgery with acute intestinal obstruction secondary to adhesions. He underwent exploratory laparotomy and adhesiolysis. He made an uneventful recovery and was discharged on the ninth postoperative day for subsequent follow-up.
Changes in patterns of plastic surgery emergencies at a level I trauma center in India during the COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Singh Veena , Haq Ansarul , Sharma Sarsij , Kumar Sanjeev , Kumar Aditya , Kumar Amarjeet , Kumar Neeraj , Kumar Anil
Published: May 2022

Purpose: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has had major effects worldwide, including sudden and forceful setbacks to the healthcare system. The COVID-19 pandemic has also led to changes in the plastic and reconstructive management of emergency cases, including those due to road traffic accidents. This study analyzed changes in patterns of plastic surgery emergencies and modifications in consultation policies to minimize the exposure of healthcare workers.Methods: Data on plastic surgery emergency calls received from the trauma and emergency department were collected for a period of 2 months before and during lockdown. The data were then analyzed with respect to the cause, mechanism, and site of the injury, as well as other variables.Results: During lockdown, there was a 40.4% overall decrease in the plastic surgery emergency case volume (168 vs. 100). The average daily number of consultations before lockdown was 2.8 as compared to 1.6 during lockdown. Road traffic accidents remained the most common mechanism of injury in both groups (45.8% vs. 39.0%) but decreased in number during the lockdown (77 vs. 39). Household accidents, including burns, were the second most common cause of injury in both phases (7.7% vs. 20.0%), but their proportion increased significantly from 7.7.% to 20.0% in the lockdown phase (P=0.003). The percentage of minor procedures done in the emergency department increased from 53.5% to 72.0% during lockdown (P=0.002). Procedures in the operating room decreased by 73.1% during lockdown (67 vs. 18, P=0.001).Conclusions: The COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown orders in India greatly influenced trends in traumatic emergencies as observed by the plastic surgery team at our tertiary care center. Amidst all the chaos and limitations of the pandemic period, providing safe and prompt care to the patients presenting to the emergency room was our foremost priority.
Penetrating sacral injury with a metallic pipe: a case report and literature review
Authors: Ha Mahnjeong , Nam Kyoung Hyup , Kim Jae Hun , Han In Ho
Published: May 2022

Other than gunshot injuries, sacral penetrating injuries with a foreign body exiting to the other side are extremely rare. We encountered a case of sacral injury in which a long metallic pipe penetrated from the anus into the lower back of a patient. Since the pelvis contains various organs, management of a penetrating injury requires multidisciplinary treatment involving several medical specialties. Due to the infrequency of this type of injury, there are no definitive guidelines for effective management. We described our experience surgically treating a sacral penetrating injury and conducted a literature review. On this basis, we suggest a surgical strategy for treating this type of injury.

Objetivos: Comparar função residual de célula beta pancreática através do cálculo do IDAA1C (dose de insulina ajustada para HbA1C) entre pacientes pediátricos com diabetes mellitus tipo 1 (DM1) que desenvolveram nefropatia diabética e aqueles sem complicações microvasculares. Metodologia: Estudo retrospectivo descritivo realizado através da análise de prontuários de pacientes DM1 acompanhados no ambulatório de Endocrinologia Pediátrica do Hospital Universitário Walter Cantídio (HUWC). Os dados coletados foram: sexo, idade, dados antropométricos, estágio puberal, tempo de doença, tipo de insulina, dose diária de insulina, dosagem de microalbuminúria e níveis de HbA1C. Resultados: A mediana de duração do diabetes em anos até o diagnóstico de nefropatia foi 3.2 anos. No ano anterior ao diagnóstico de nefropatia, 15,4% dos pacientes nefropatas ainda possuíam reserva pancreática (IDAA1C <= 9), resultado estatisticamente similar ao grupo controle (20,5%). Conclusões: O IDAA1C no ano anterior ao diagnóstico de nefropatia foi similar em ambos os grupos. Nesta coorte a duração do diabetes até o desenvolvimento de nefropatia foi inferior à relatada na literatura.
The Impact of Symptoms and Psychological Distress on Quality of Life in Early-Stage Lung Cancer Survivors
Authors: Lin Chwen-Mei , Rong Jiin-Ru
Published: May 2022

Background: The number of cancer survivors continues to increase worldwide. Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is important as a health-related outcome for cancer patients and cancer survivors. Patients with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer may face the stress of symptoms and treatment side effects. However, for survivors of this type of cancer, the impact of cancer or treatment-related stress perception, symptoms, and psychological distress on HRQoL remains to be explored.Purpose: To examine the impact of stress appraisal, symptoms distress, and psychological distress (anxiety and depression) on quality of life in early-stage lung cancer survivors.Method: A cross-sectional study design using convenience sampling. Early-stage non-small cell lung cancer patients who had completed treatment of lung cancer for at least one month were recruited after obtaining informed consent. Self-administered questionnaires were used to collect demographics and information on clinical characteristics, perceived stress, symptoms distress, psychological distress (anxiety and depression), and HRQoL. Multiple regression analysis was used to identify factors affecting HRQoL.Results: The study recruited 85 (30 male and 55 female) lung cancer survivors with mean age of 63.20 years old (SD= 9.01), 85.8 % of which were diagnosed with stage I non-small cell lung cancer. Mean time since diagnosis was 3.33 years (SD = 2.05). All participants underwent surgery. We found that 52.6% of the variance (F (4, 80) =24.28, p<.001) in HRQoL was explained by the variables of anxiety (β= -.34, t= -3.36, p=.001), depression (β= -.28, t= -3.21, p=.002), perceived stress (β= -.21, t= -2.30, p=.024), and symptom distress (β= -.13, t= -1.53, p=.13).Conclusion: Our results suggest that health professionals should pay more attention to the assessment of perceived stress, psychological distress, and symptom distress for promoting HRQoL and healthy functioning of non-small cell lung cancer survivors.
"Does anyone even notice us?" COVID-19’s impact on academics’ well-being in a developing country
Authors: Hardman J. , Watermeyer R. , Shankar K. , Ratnadeep Suri V. , Crick T. , Knight K. , McGaughey F. , Chung R.
Published: May 2022

In March 2020, the President of South African announced that the nation would go into full lockdown in the wake of an increase in COVID-19 infections. Academics had, in some instances, only one day to prepare for “emergency remote teaching”. Few academics had taught online before, as South Africa’s internet connectivity is not guaranteed in underprivileged areas, where 80 per cent of the population reside. The online move thus necessitated an entirely novel pedagogy for most academics, with high potential for an escalation of work-related stress and related illness, outcomes we have related in the wider sphere of workplace readjustment during COVID-19, to a state of “pandemia”. In this article, we report on an institutional case study where we surveyed n=136 academics from a university in the Western Cape, South Africa to learn more about impacts of COVID-19 on their work. The data analysis adopts Ryff’s (1995) theory of well-being. Findings indicate that the enforced lockdown due to COVID-19 and the subsequent move to online teaching has had a negative impact on academics’ sense of well-being. However, the emergence of positive, caring relationships between colleagues is reported as a significant outcome of the COVID-19 enforced move to online teaching.

Career development in employing organisations: Practices and challenges from a UK perspective
Authors: Hirsh Wendy

This paper considers the nature of career development within employing organisations and its implications for the role of employers in offering career support to employed adults. Although based on research evidence and practical experience from the UK (described for example, in Hirsh and Jackson, 2004), recent research for CEDEFOP indicates that the issues explored here also seem likely to be of relevance to other European countries (Jackson et al., 2008).

The challenge of career studies
Authors: Collin Audrey
Published: May 2022

I am proposing here that career studies is an appropriate subject for study at university level, even for those not intending to enterthe ‘career’ field. ‘Career’ lies at the intersection of the individual and society, and its study is as challenging as that of anyother university subject because it requires understanding of, and a rigorous approach to, a complex area, but unlike them,however, it is of direct relevance to students’ own lives. This paper argues that their reflections upon their own ‘career’experiences would illuminate and interrogate what they would learn through academic study. This indeed is what I foundfor myself as I came as a newcomer to this field.

Becoming aware of taken for granted attitudes and prejudices: A pilot study of Information, Advice and Guidance Practitioners
Authors: Bradley Liz
Published: May 2022

This article reports on the early stages of my empirical research. It explores how the enquiry developed through doubts in my own practice as an Information, Advice and Guidance (IAG) practitioner working outreach in East Lancashire. My early enquiry has developed out of emerging critical insights on my own ‘whiteness’ and further my ‘taken for granted’ attitudes. This resulted in the discovery of my ‘own reflexive voice’ which was captured in narrative, an example of which is included within this article. The research has been informed by theories on ‘whiteness’ and ‘taken for grantedness’. The research also considers possible limitations of some current careers guidance training, which could mean that some practitioners never reflect critically on their own taken for grantedness. It is suggested that if they were to engage in this deeper level of critical reflection, then they may develop a better understanding of the different world-views of their clients.

Becoming a ‘Professional’: Researching the development of career practitioners’ professional identity in a New Zealand context
Authors: Douglas Fiona
Published: May 2022

This paper outlines my current PhD research which examines how career practitioners’ professional identity construction is affected by their environment. The research takes a post-structural approach, focusing on the issue from the perspective of the ‘subjects’ or careers practitioners, rather than the structural, ‘top-down’ requirements of policy-makers and other agencies. The paper introduces the research, identifies the research problem, gives a brief insight into the literature, sets out the aims and methodology, and identifies the potential contribution to understanding the effect of the environment on career practitioners’ professional identity. Once my PhD is completed, I hope the outcomes of the research will contribute to understanding how practitioners construct their identity in relation to the discourse of professionalisation.

Reframing and re-telling: The changing identity of the careers guidance profession
Authors: Gough John
Published: May 2022

The aim of the article is to critically reflect on what may now constitute the occupational and professional identity of career guidance practitioners after a decade of rapid change, and in the face of further significant policy developments. It seeks to build on recent research, e.g. Colley et al (2010), in order to consider the effects of policy shifts, and their attendant managerialism, on the identity of careers practitioners in a wide variety of organisational settings. The article proposes that Bolman and Deal’s Four Frames model (2003), with its holistic and constructivist basis, can be used to illuminate and critically examine the structural, political, motivational and symbolic aspects of change, including identity reformation. It concludes by suggesting that the various professional bodies that represent career guidance have an opportunity to re-appraise and redefine professional value and identity.
Three-scene storyboarding: How narrative enlarges careers-work
Authors: Law Bill
Published: May 2022

This article examines the uses of narrative in careers work. It illustrates story-telling with three-scene storyboarding – a method for linking remembered experience to useful reflection as a basis for action. It is introduced here to probe the uses of narrative in careers work – the possibilities and the problems. Narrative thinking draws on a range of perspectives. The article examines philosophical issues and their practical implications. It shows how literary theory gives us a useful distinction between a case-study and a narrative. It probes how narrative is rooted in the way neurological states link to cultural experience. All help us to understand how a story can find meaning in experience and purpose in response.
Orientation, navigation and engagement: A philosophy for human and digital navigation
Authors: Dickinson David , Henderson Leigh
Published: May 2022

In this article, we discuss Internet navigation and the Personal Web and set out some of our thinking on an application to support sense-making in the career decisions process. We explain intermediated facilitation by the careers adviser as one of a series of professionals, supporting the client’s continuous ‘Orientation, Navigation, and Engagement’ process. We consider how this supported personal navigation of information process can be more responsive to perceived life-episode shifts, affording a greater degree of personal control complementary to a positive sense of personal wellbeing. We have been developing these ideas over the past decade, through a variety of initiatives and programmes and more recently have begun to build the solutions capable of realising them.
Careers guidance and career coaching – what’s the big idea?
Authors: Law Bill
Published: May 2022

Careers work is due for a new start. It will mean more than a realignment or reform of what it has been doing. It calls for an ability to imagine what it would do if it were starting from scratch. Such boldness is necessary because neo-liberal reliance on private-sector marketisation has fatally marginalised public-sector careers work. And, just as importantly, the fit between career-development expertise and career-management experience is increasingly askew. A product of these political and cultural shifts is the global prevalence of a private-sector careercoaching industry. The argument here is that, although careers work’s public-sector past is irrecoverable, an independent careers-work future is within reach.
Career management: Place, space and social enclaves
Authors: Law Bill
Published: May 2022

Geography influences life chances. This article examines how career-management is situated. What we refer to as ‘respect’, ‘freedom’ and ‘confidence’ are differently experienced in different locations. The term ‘place-and-space’ is used to frame these realities. In illustrating how work-life is managed differently in different places, this article uses the concept of ‘enclave’ to refer to the place. It points to how varying language voices experience, and illustrates what that does to making a claim to a stake in society. The article also shows how opportunities in any place can be expanded, creating space to accommodate unforeseen hopes. And it s uggests implications for the organisation of professional systems around these ideas. In particular it suggests a rebalancing in the importance attached to career-development expertise, in favour of career-management experience.
Can aspiration kill local community? Challenges for young people and career practitioners in Sri Lanka
Authors: Neary Siobhan
Published: May 2022

Raising aspiration is a primary focus of careers work. However, in some circumstances enhanced aspirations may create tensions in situations of limited accessible opportunity. Additionally focusing on the autonomy of the individual and their choice can impact more broadly on the local community. This article will explore the importance of locating career guidance in context, specifically in reference to some of the issues facing career practitioners working in Sri Lanka. These practitioners seek to inspire young people to a range of careers whilst remaining conscious of the individual and local impacts that may result. It will consider the concept of ‘foundation’ which encompasses the physical, social, religious and spiritual, cultural and political environment and the role this might play in providing a holistic model for career guidance.
‘Here you have to be a bit more fluid and willing to do different things’: Graduate career development in rural communities
Authors: Alexander Rosie
Published: May 2022

This article presents the background and findings to a research project focusing on how graduates living in a very rural area understand themselves, their careers and their futures. In this project a cross section of recent graduates living in a very rural area (the Orkney Islands) were interviewed and the data were analysed using a qualitative methodology. The findings show some tensions between ‘rural’ and ‘graduate’ identities and show some practical ways that graduates managed this tension. The article concludes with some tentative suggestions about implications for careers advisers when working with clients from rural areas.
International students and career development: Human capital in the global skills race
Authors: Arthur Nancy
Published: May 2022

Views of international students have shifted from considering them as temporary learners seeking international education to positioning them as a valuable source of human capital. These views form a context from which to consider international students’ career development needs while living and learning in higher educational settings and in considering their career options post-graduation. Influences on international students’ career decision-making to stay in the destination country are discussed. Targeted areas for career services are outlined to support the transition from education to employment in the destination country and for international students returning to their home countries.

The flip side: Career guidance policies and social control
Authors: Plant Peter , Valgreen Helene
Published: May 2022

Career guidance in most European countries is increasingly an area of policy interest. Not so much with a focus on guidance itself, but more preoccupied with other policy areas in which career guidance may have a role to play: employment, education, social inclusion, gender equality, and economic development, just to mention a few. This mirrors a strong policy focus on the role of guidance as a soft societal steering instrument. This poses dilemmas in relation to the delicate balance between guidance as an instrument for personal development, and guidance as social control.
Establishing Croatia’s lifelong career guidance service
Authors: Moore Nicki , Zećirević Mirjana , Peters Simon
Published: May 2022

On July 1st 2013, Croatia became the 28th member state of the European Union. One requirement for Croatia’s accession to the EU was the establishment of comprehensive life-long career guidance (LLCG) provision. In 2011, the Croatian Employment Service, the traditional provider of career guidance services to the unemployed, embarked on a programme to establish eight public facing pilot LLCG centres funded through EU transition funding. This article uses the results of an early evaluation of the new LLCG centres undertaken at the end of the pilot stage to explore the inter-relationship between this EU imperative and the policy and practice developments required to establish LLCG in a post-conflict and postcommand economy emerging EU country.
‘Girls into STEM and Komm mach MINT’: English and German approaches to support girls’ STEM career-related learning
Authors: Hutchinson Jo
Published: May 2022

European economies require STEM skilled people, yet compared with boys, girls demonstrate a tendency to reject some STEM study and STEM careers. This paper briefly reviews key factors that influence this phenomenon. It then introduces four examples of campaigns and initiatives that encourage girls to consider further participation in STEM in England and MINT in Germany as part of their career ambitions. Evidence of the impact of German initiatives is presented. It concludes that where there is a deliberate strategy linked with defined actions which tackle issues that are specific to girls, then gender imbalances can begin to change.
‘The whole world is my home’: An investigation into how a globalised lifestyle, international capital and an international schooling experience influence the identities and aspirations of young people
Authors: Young Jonathon
Published: May 2022

This article discusses the findings of a study involving the aspirations of students in an international school in Belgium. Aspirations are framed and formed via the interaction and interrelationship of self and social context. The originality of this work is in its emphasis on students’ own perceptions of the influences on their aspirations, within a new geographical arena and the social sub-culture of a fluid, semi-transient international group. The findings will add to our understandings of international schooling and might usefully inform pedagogical practices and programmes of professional development for staff in order to better serve students.
Surprised by success: An interim evaluation of an international career development programme
Authors: Houston Kathleen
Published: May 2022

Career guidance professionals and employability teachers aim to develop graduate employability characteristics in response to employer and CBI demands for ‘future fit’ graduate entrants to the labour market (CBI 2009). Part of this ‘future fitness’ relies on a global outlook and ‘cultural agility’ (AGR, CIHE, CFR 2011). The ‘Start your International Career’ programme at the University of Central Lancashire (UCLan) aims to promote and develop global career awareness and graduate capacities. A case study approach was used to examine the experience from the first cohort to seek out indications of potential effective practice to benefit teachers and careers professionals working in this subject area. Positive outcomes suggest that an incentivised and diverse programme can build international career awareness and global work competencies.
The global graduate: Developing the global careers service
Authors: Neary Siobhan , Thambar Nalayini , Bell Sharon
Published: May 2022

Graduate employability is an international issue. Students seek a higher education experience with added value in terms of employability and an international perspective. The University of Nottingham, an established global university with campuses in Malaysia and China, attracts students from across the world. These students have diverse and culturally-specific career development needs, requiring skilled practitioners with knowledge of the global graduate opportunity structure. Using a case study approach this article explores ways in which the Careers and Employability Services are being developed to meet a global market through support for staff and internationalised employer engagement.
Beyond DOTS: Theory and model development
Authors: Plant Peter
Published: May 2022

There is nothing more practical than a good theory. And even more practical is a model, if it communicates well. Tony Watts has been involved in creating a number of models, two of which are mentioned here: the DOTS model and a socio-political model, dealing with dimensions of society/individual and change/status quo. This article discusses the current importance and implications of these models: they have had a long life and a strong impact on the guidance field. As has Tony Watts.
Career guidance for Vocational Education and Training (VET)
Authors: Zelloth Helmot
Published: May 2022

This paper has been inspired by Tony Watts’ pioneering work which explored the relationship between VET and career guidance. This relationship features traditionally ambiguous and not very clearcut definitions. His helpful distinction between career guidance ‘prior to’ and ‘within’ VET opened new perspectives for analysis. Career guidance cannot only serve as an ‘eye opener’ to stimulate VET demand, but also as a ‘change agent’ to improve VET supply. However, career guidance has come under attack for being ‘VET-blind’ and has been criticised for being inadequately sensitive to VET. Similarly VET needs to consider the relevance of career guidance. It is this potential for a reciprocal interaction between VET and career guidance that this paper focuses on.

Changing employer practices in graduate recruitment: Implications for career development
Authors: Hirsh Wendy , Pollard Emma , Artess Jane
Published: May 2022

A major study of the changing graduate recruitment practices of UK employers, was conducted during 2014 by the Institute for Employment Studies (IES) and the Higher Education Careers Services Unit (HECSU) for the Department for Business, lnnovation and Skills (BIS). It involved in-depth interviews with 76 employers (diverse by size and sector) and 30 'stakeholders' in graduate employment, including university careers services. The qualitative data were complemented by analysis of existing quantitative data on graduate employment and a wide ranging literature review. This article reports on selected findings relevant to career development professionals, including: the challenges for employers of attracting appropriate applicants; employers' generic skill needs and views on employability; the changing reasons and criteria for targeting specific higher education (HE) institutions; and employers' increasingly strategic use of work experience in graduate recruitment .
'The heart has its reasons that reason knows nothing of': The role of the unconscious in career decision making
Authors: Yates Julia
Published: May 2022

The complexity of career paths in the 21 st century has led to a rise in the number of career changes in a typical working life. Effective career practitioners, therefore, should have a good understanding of the process of career choice. One aspect of decision making which has attracted attention in the literature is the role of the unconscious or gut instinct. Once considered best ignored, its potency and value are now recognised. Drawing from decision theory, cognitive neuroscience and behavioural economics, this paper summarises evidence of the most common and effective decision making strategies used in career choice, and considers the implications for practice.
An exploration into the experiences of career provision by students in 21st century Nigeria
Authors: Ettang Abasiubong , Chant Anne
Published: May 2022

In 2014, illustrative case study research was conducted to examine existing careers guidance interventions available to two young people in different secondary schools in Nigeria. The aim was to explore their perceptions in terms of the subjective usefulness of those interventions in an educational and labour market context within a growing economy. Analysis indicated that as well as access to careers guidance being inconsistent, the experience of the participants was that the existing provision was not sufficient to support them to develop an appreciable degree of independence, and the career management skills required to meet the demands of the 21 st century labour market in particular, and life in general.
Career development during COVID: Increased migration aspirations of South African University students
Authors: Albien A.J. , Beppo T.A.
Published: May 2022

The purpose of this qualitative research study is to explore COVID-19 effects on South African university students and graduates’ experiences of career development and migration aspirations, using Stellenbosch University as a case study. Qualitative interviews (N=30) were conducted with university students and thematic analysis was used. Participants felt that the restrictive COVID measures increased unemployment levels in South Africa and young adults’ difficulties in transitioning to the world of work. Increased levels of migration aspirations were mentioned by participants to facilitate access to sustainable employment in a global workforce. This study provides useful information and recommendations for international career researchers and practitioners on how to integrate COVID life experiences in career development trajectories.
Meeting the career development needs of single parents
Authors: Olaru Elsa R. , Bolger Emma
Published: May 2022

Social inclusion involves ensuring all individuals and groups are afforded the right to educational, training and employment opportunities. In this article, we highlight how single parents have been disproportionately experiencing inequity within the labour market throughout the COVID-19 pandemic and the ensuing considerations for career development practice. A study conducted in April 2021 assessed the impact of COVID-19 on childcare commitments and the support single parents require to achieve their career goals, and six themes emerged through qualitative analysis. Recommendations to support the career development needs of single parents are made for employers, policymakers and career practitioners.
Decision-takers’ Attitudes Towards SARS-CoV-2 Self-Testing in Kenya: A Qualitative Inquiry
Authors: Chabeda Sophie , Shilton Sonjelle , Manguro Griffins , Omenda Sharon , Owira Patricia , Martínez-Pérez And Guillermo Z.
Published: May 2022

Rapid SARS-CoV-2 self-tests have the potential to expand access to COVID-19 testing and improve community-level case detection, particularly in resource-constrained countries such as Kenya. However, prior to their introduction, their acceptability must be assessed. This qualitative study explored key decision-takers’ values towards SARS-CoV-2 self-testing in Kenya. Healthcare workers, representatives of civil society, and potential implementors from Mombasa and Taita-Taveta were selected as decision-takers. Semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions were used to collect data on their values towards self-testing. A thematic analysis approach was applied. Most informants considered that the Kenyan public is equipped to accept and use self-testing safely as an approach to help to reduce workload at public healthcare facilities, and know one’s COVID-19 status in a private manner. The informants emphasized the need to provide counselling to end-users, to support those needing to self-isolate, and to engage different civil society stakeholders in information provision on self-testing. Fear of stigma and of forced isolation were noted as potential deterrents to self-testing uptake for some individuals. In conclusion, there is high acceptability of self-testing in Kenya among decision-takers. However, enhanced education, counselling, and addressing deterrents to testing would be helpful to ensure effective use of SARS-CoV-2 self-testing in Kenya.
An Investigation of Experimental Reports on the Relativistic Relation for Doppler Shift
Authors: McKelvie James
Published: May 2022

An exhaustive list of thirteen instances of reports confirming experimentally the relativistic Doppler relation, are examined. For those involving longitudinal Doppler, the non-relativistic relation is seen to be confirmed, within the reported experimental accuracies, to the same degree as the standard relativistic relation. Higher values of the speed of the emitter would be required to examine further the claimed confirmations. For those reports involving saturation spectroscopy, there is much confusion over the appropriate Doppler relation to be used, together with some serious analytical flaws. For the two cases that involve transverse Doppler, there are seen to be either serious faults in the theoretical part, or intrusion from the first order effect. Therefore, the reported conclusions - that the results for the experiments confirm the relativistic SR relation - cannot be justified by any of the experimental works.
