Is a Picture Worth a Thousand Words? Effects of Foregrounded Multimodal and Narrative Features
Multimodal novels rely extensively on the interaction of verbal and visual codes to construct meaning. It has been theorized that multimodal features of the multimodal novel shape our reading-induced imagery and our emotional reactions while reading. However, there is a lack of empirical testing behind existing approaches to multimodal novels. The current study aims to empirically investigate the effects of foregrounded multimodal features and foregrounded narrative features on reading-induced imagery and readers' emotional reactions in the reading process of multimodal novels. The results disconfirmed that differences between unusual and usual mind styles were traceable to multimodal vs. monomodal versions of these selected narratives. Reading about unusual mindstyles, instead of multimodal features, is suggested to have effects on changing perception of self and others, and thus on transformative reading. Keywords: multimodal novel, multimodal features, narrative perspective, foregrounding, reading-induced imagery, emotional reactions

The Curiosity of Things, Objects, and Subjects in Mark Haddon’s Novel of Incident
I begin with a moment from Mark Haddon’s The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time (2003) describing an encounter with things, in the form of an enumeration and a collection of sorts, where bodily, sensory, mental, and imaginative life are fused. Probing the porous boundaries, affinities, and frictions between contemporary subjects and objects, with bodies, special minds, and things, this essay develops novel approaches to notions of materiality, the object world, and embodied experience while also interrogating developments in the area of material culture, object studies, cultural phenomenology, and thing theory. Haddon and Boone (the narrator/protagonist) insisted on the material basis of all aspects of human existence and finally concluded that the subject can be materially transformed through interacting with objects.

Identification of Factors Affecting Road Traffic Injuries Incidence and Severity in Southern Thailand Based on Accident Investigation Reports
Thailand has the second-highest rates of road traffic mortality globally. Detailed information on the combination of human, vehicle, and environmental risks giving rise to each incident is important for addressing risk factors holistically. This paper presents the result of forensic road traffic investigation reports in Thailand and determines risk factor patterns for road traffic injuries. Detailed forensic reports were extracted for 25 serious traffic accident events. The Haddon matrix was used to analyze risk factors in three phases stratified by four agents. The 25 events analyzed involved 407 victims and 47 vehicles. A total of 65.8% of victims were injured, including 14.5% who died. The majority (66.1%) of deaths occurred at the scene. Human-error-related factors included speeding and drowsiness. Passenger risks included not using the seat belt, sitting in the cargo area and the cab of pickups. Overloaded vehicles, unsafe car modifications, no occupant safety equipment and having unfixed seats were vehicular risks. Environmental risks included fixed objects on the roadside, no traffic lights, no guard rails, no traffic signs, and road accident black spots. At present, traffic accidents cause much avoidable severe injury and death. The outcome of this paper identifies a number of preventable risk factors for traffic injury, and importantly examines them in conjunction. Road traffic safety measures need to consider how human, vehicle, and environmental risks intersect to influence injury likelihood and severity. The Haddon matrix is useful in identifying these pre- and post-accident risk factors. Furthermore, the sustainable preventions of road traffic injury need to address these risks together with active law enforcement.

Critical determinants of morbidity and adverse outcomes during the Hajj using the Haddon matrix and the combined model
Hajj, the annual pilgrimage to Makkah, Saudi Arabia, attracts around two million Muslims from across the globe, making it one of the world’s largest mass gatherings. This event is associated with different public health challenges due to the scale of participation, the diversity of attendees, the complexity of the rituals, and the extreme physical and environmental conditions individuals encounter on their pilgrimage. This study employed the Haddon Matrix and Combined Model frameworks to categorize risk factors into pre-event, during-event, and post-event phases. A comprehensive literature review was conducted, and data were extracted from peer-reviewed articles on health outcomes associated with Hajj. Factors across human, environmental, and agent domains were analyzed, and the effectiveness of various public health strategies to reduce adverse outcomes during Hajj was assessed. This study comprehensively examined the factors contributing to morbidity and adverse outcomes during Hajj. Cardiovascular diseases, respiratory infections, and heat-related illnesses were identified as the primary causes of morbidity, and older adults and individuals with pre-existing conditions were more affected.

Understanding the challenges of injury in providing sport programmes for physically inactive women: concept mapping insights from programme deliverers
ObjectivesInjury/poor health is an important barrier to women’s participation in sport and physical activity. This study aimed to identify perceived challenges sport programme deliverers face when supporting physically inactive women to prevent/manage injury.MethodsSport programme deliverers, targeting physically inactive women in Victoria, participated in concept mapping to brainstorm, sort and rate (impact on their ability to prevent/manage injury, frequency of and difficulty to overcome the challenge on a 1 (low)–5 (high) scale) the challenges faced. Analysis included multidimensional scaling, hierarchical cluster analysis and descriptive statistics (eg, mean ratings).ResultsTwenty-five deliverers brainstormed 82 injury prevention/management-related challenges. An eight cluster map was considered the most appropriate representation of the participants’ sorting data (mean cluster impact, frequency and difficulty to overcome rating (1–5)): time constraints (3.42, 3.69, 3.12); perceived competence in injury prevention/management (3.36, 3.50, 3.27); navigating participant perceptions and knowledge (3.35, 3.74, 3.49); information and responsibility (3.32, 3.50, 3.26); session planning and structure (3.25, 3.45, 3.07); participant engagement (3.13, 3.47, 3.08); responding to individual needs (3.07, 3.42, 2.92) and access to injury management resources (2.87, 3.25, 3.17).ConclusionLimited time created injury prevention/management challenges for programme deliverers when planning and modifying sport programmes for physically inactive women. Injury prevention/management should be integrated into programme design and delivery principles. Programme deliverers need education/training and access to injury prevention/management resources (eg, activity modification) and engagement/communication strategies tailored for physically inactive women. Public health funders, coaching course accreditors, programme designers and deliverers can use these insights to develop strategies to minimise injury risk and effect systemic change in sport programme delivery.

Trends in fatal paediatric unintentional injury: what is going on?
In recent years, the reduction in rates of fatal unintentional injuries to children in the USA has not only plateaued, beginning before the pandemic, but has reversed, with increases across most mechanisms of injury. This study seeks to understand the reasons for this trend, focusing on unintentional injuries to children aged 1–14 years in 2001–2023 and on injuries with the highest fatality rates and with the most substantial increases in the last few years.The highest rate of fatalities and most substantial changes were due to motor vehicle crashes, drowning, fires and burns. Many factors that are associated with the risk of injury fatality actually decreased in prevalence over the last decade while the fatality rates were plateauing and then increasing. These include improved motor vehicle and highway and roadway safety designs, lower rates of cigarette smoking, more homes with carbon monoxide alarms, fewer mobile homes, higher life-jacket use, fewer small recreational boats and decreases in child poverty. Increases in emotional and behavioural disorders are not likely responsible for changes in unintentional injury fatalities in this age group. An important contributor to injury, particularly among the racial groups experiencing the greatest change in the mortality trajectory, is the sociocultural economic environment in which children live, learn and play. Smartphone use by teens and caregivers was the one risk factor which dramatically increased over the last decade, and distraction from mobile phone use stands out as likely the greatest culprit in this increase in fatalities.

A curiosidade das coisas, objetos e sujeitos no romance do incidente de Mark Haddon
Começo com um momento de The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time (2003), de Mark Haddon, descrevendo um encontro com as coisas, na forma de uma enumeração e um tipo de colecção, onde vida corporal, sensorial, mental e imaginativa se fundem. Ao sondar as fronteiras porosas, afinidades e fricções entre sujeitos e objetos contemporâneos, com corpos, mentes especiais e coisas, este ensaio desenvolve novas abordagens para noções de materialidade, o mundo do objeto e a experiência corporificada enquanto também questiona desenvolvimentos na área da cultura material, estudos do objeto, fenomenologia cultural e teoria das coisas. Haddon e Boone (o narrador/protagonista) insistiram na base material de todos os aspectos da existência humana e finalmente concluíram que o sujeito pode ser transformado materialmente por meio da interação com objetos.
