Sharing news online : commendary cultures and social media news ecologies
\"This book explores the political economics and cultural politics of social media news sharing, investigating how it is changing journalism and the news media internationally. News sharing plays important economic and cultural roles in an attention economy, recommending the stories audiences find valuable, making them more visible, and promoting the digital platforms that are reshaping our media ecologies. But is news sharing a force for democracy, or a sign of journalism?s declining power to set news agendas? In Sharing News Online, Tim Dwyer and Fiona Martin analyse the growth of commendary culture and the business of social news, critique the rise of news analytics and dissect virality online. They reveal that surprisingly, we share political stories more highly than celebrity news, and they probe how deeply affect drives our sharing behaviour. In mapping the contours of a critical digital media phenomenon, this book makes essential reading for scholars, journalists and media executives.\"--Page 4 of cover.

Move to Improve: Co‐Designing a Hospital‐Based Physical Activity Program for Children With Chronic Health Conditions
Background Physical activity can support physical and mental health among children living with chronic health conditions; however, programmes must be tailored to their specific needs to support participation. Objective This study aimed to co‐design the protocol for Move to Improve, a hospital‐based clinical service at Perth Children's Hospital to support physical activity participation among children with chronic health conditions. Methods Four online co‐design workshops were conducted with children living with chronic health conditions and their parents, using a participatory and collaborative approach to inform programme development. Data were analysed using reflexive thematic analysis. Results Five interrelated themes were identified, highlighting the importance of family‐led and goal‐oriented approaches, individualised programme design, enjoyment, confidence building and support for transition to community‐based physical activity. Together, these findings underscore the need for family‐centred and tailored programmes that support sustained engagement in physical activity. Conclusion The co‐design process informed the development of a structured protocol incorporating evidence‐based strategies aligned with families' priorities. These strategies included goal setting at the start of the programme, goal review at the end of the programme and tailoring of strategies such as skill building and education on self‐management of the condition across the duration of the programme. This protocol offers a clinically relevant and scalable model for supporting physical activity participation among children with chronic health conditions within hospital‐based services. Patient and Public Contribution Children and parents of children living with chronic health conditions participated in co‐design workshops, and their input directly informed and shaped key elements of the Move to Improve protocol, including programme structure, content and delivery strategies.

Pediatric Otolaryngology
Highly Commended by the BMA Medical Book Awards for Surgical Specialties! Ear, nose, and throat diseases present and progress very differently in children than in adults, needing different diagnostic and treatment strategies. Training in the subspecialty of pediatric otolaryngology is often part of a general ENT program and not a program in itself. As such, the general otolaryngologist may be insufficiently prepared to handle certain pediatric cases. R. W. Clarke's Pediatric Otolaryngology: Practical Clinical Management aims to provide the pediatric ENT resident or fellow, as well as the general ENT practitioner, with sound clinical guidance on ENT pathologies as they affect the pediatric population. Key Features: * Fully describes the characteristics of ENT diseases in children, as opposed to only describing how the disorders differ from their presentations in adults * International cast of expert contributors * Practice based, for the clinician * Comprehensive accounts of hearing loss in children, often poorly covered in standard texts * Text boxes orient the reader to \"danger signs, \" \"top tips\" in surgery, advice regarding potential complications, situations that need urgent referral, and medicolegal pitfalls Pediatric Otolaryngology is an essential reference of this important subspecialty for ENT doctors in practice, as well as in preparation for board examinations.

Handbook of Vowels and Vowel Disorders
In the general study of speech and phonetics, vowels have stood in second place to consonants. But what vowels are, how they differ from one another, how they vary among speakers, and how they are subject to disorder, are questions that require a closer examination.
This Handbook presents a comprehensive, cogent, and up-to-date analysis of the vowel, including its typical development in children's speech, description by perceptual and instrumental methods, cross-linguistic and sociolinguistic aspects, and disorders of its production and use. It approaches the problems of vowel production and perception from the viewpoints of physiology, physics, psychology, linguistics, phonetics, phonology, and speech-language pathology. The chapters are logically complementary, and the major sections of the book are like key dimensions of understanding, each adding a perspective and base of knowledge on vowels. The sum total of the chapters is a synthesis of information on vowels that has no precedent.
