The nature of Nordic music
\"The Nature of Nordic Music explores two distinctive yet complementary understandings of the term 'nature': the inherent features, characters and qualities of contemporary Nordic music, and how the elemental forces of nature, the phenomena of the physical world (landscape, climate, environment) inspire and condition creativity here. Within a broader debate about the meaning of 'Nordicness', 12 case studies challenge our assumptions about a 'Nordic tone' to reveal a creative energy that is diverse and cosmopolitan in outlook. Each of the three sections of the book - 'Identities', 'Images' and 'Environments' - accommodates an eclectic array of musical genres (classical, popular, jazz, folk, electronic). This book will appeal to anyone interested in Nordic music and culture, especially students and researchers.\"--Page i..

Student Collaboration in Action: A Case Study Exploring the Role of Youth Work Pedagogy Transforming Interprofessional Education in Higher Education
The College of Health, Psychology, and Social Care at the University of Derby has transformed its Interprofessional Education (IPE) offer from a top-down standalone event into a five-year strategy designed and delivered in genuine collaboration with students. Across the higher education sector, IPE has been a struggle, tokenistic at best, with limited buy-in from students. When academic-led it prevents deep learning; however, by utilising an informal education approach students bring their life, programme, and practice learning together to genuinely break down barriers between professional disciplines. This paper will use an autoethnographic case study to explore the challenges and opportunities of genuine collaboration based on youth work principles in the creation of a ‘value-added curriculum’, not aligned to modules or assessments. It found that buy-in from academics and students comes when students are empowered to take the lead. This is based on youth work pedagogical principles of group work, relationships with shrinking professional distance, critical pedagogy, genuine agency, and an emotional connection made between the professionals and service users. It suggests the potential is considerable as youth workers bring their pedagogical practice to a broader range of spaces within and beyond higher education.

ED Utilization by Uninsured and Medicaid Patients after Availability of Telephone Triage
For emergency departments experiencing crowding and a high percentage of patients leaving without being seen, a telephone triage service can provide other care options for low-acuity patients.
A nonexperimental pre- and postintervention comparative design was used to measure ED visit volumes from Medicaid and uninsured patients presenting with a low-acuity health care problem. Visit volumes for the 12 months before and 12 months after the initiation of telephone triage were compared.
The overall low-acuity visit volume increased in the first 12 months of telephone triage availability. However, the proportion of low-acuity Medicaid and uninsured patients seeking ED care decreased. For the first 12 months of operation, telephone triage received 10,055 calls. Sixty percent of the calls (N = 6086) were from uninsured and Medicaid patients. More than 43% of the calls resulted in a self-care decision.
A telephone triage service may help decrease ED crowding by communicating other care options to patients with low-acuity health problems.

Response
Had Texas opted to expand Medicaid, there would not be the 1115 waivers available to fund population health programs. [...]the approval of the telephone triage program by the Texas Department of Health and Human Services as a demonstration project provided the funding necessary to make this service free of charge to the community and at no cost to the Health System.
