White vanishing : rethinking Australia's lost-in-the-bush myth
\"The story of the vulnerable white person vanishing without trace into the harsh Australian landscape is a potent and compelling element in multiple genres of mainstream Australian culture. It has been sung in \"Little Boy Lost,\" brought to life on the big screen in Picnic at Hanging Rock, immortalized in Henry Lawson's poems of lost tramps, and preserved in the history books' tales of Leichhardt or Burke and Wills wandering in mad circles.\"--publisher website.
The child in Spanish cinema
2023
In this, the first full-length treatment of the child in Spanish cinema, Sarah Wright explores the ways that the cinematic child comes to represent ‘prosthetic memory’. The central theme of the child and the monster is used to examine the relationship of the self to the past, and to cinema. Concentrating on films from the 1950s to the present day, the book explores religious films, musicals, ‘art-house horror’, science-fiction, social realism and fantasy. It includes reference to Erice’s The Spirit of The Beehive, del Toro’s Pan’s Labyrinth, Mañas’s El Bola and the Marisol films. The book also draws on a century of filmmaking in Spain and intersects with recent revelations concerning the horrors of the Spanish past. The child is a potent motif for the loss of historical memory and for its recuperation through cinema. This book is suitable for scholars and undergraduates working in the areas of Spanish cinema, Spanish cultural studies and cinema studies.

Background:
The 24-h movement guidelines for youth and adults recommend the specific duration of physical activity, sedentary time, and sleep duration to ensure optimal health, but little is known about its relationship to mental health indicators. The aim of the study was to explore the association between 24-h movement guidelines in adolescence and its trajectories from middle adolescence (12–17 years old) to adulthood (33–39 years old) with depression and suicidal ideation in adulthood.
Methods:
This prospective cohort study included individuals who participated in Waves I (1994–1995) and V (2016–2018) of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health) in the United States. Physical activity, screen time and sleep duration were measured using questionnaires. Adults were categorized as having depression if they had a self-reported history of depression and/or prescription medication-use for depression in the previous four weeks. Suicidal ideation was assessed by a self-reported single question in both waves. Poisson regression analyses were used to estimate the incidence rate ratio (IRR) of depression and suicidal ideation at adulthood, according to meeting specific and combinations of 24-h movement guidelines at Wave I and its trajectories from adolescence to adulthood.
Results:
The study included 7,069 individuals (56.8% women). Adolescents who met physical activity guidelines and all three guidelines at middle adolescence had lower risk of depression (IRR = 0.84, 95%CI 0.72 to 0.98) and suicidal ideation (IRR = 0.74, 95%CI 0.55 to 0.99) at adulthood than those who did not meet any of these guidelines, respectively. Individuals who met the guidelines for screen time and all three guidelines in both adolescence and adulthood had lower risk of depression (screen time, IRR = 0.87, 95% CI 0.72 to 0.98; all three, IRR = 0.3

, 95% CI 0.15 to 0.92) and suicidal ideation (screen time, IRR = 0.74, 95% CI 0.51 to 0.97; all three, IRR = 0.12, 95% CI 0.06 to 0.33) than those who never met the guidelines. Additionally, individuals who did not meet all three guidelines in adolescence but met the guidelines in adulthood had lower risk of suicidal ideation than those who never met the guidelines (IRR = 0.81, 95%CI 0.45 to 0.89).
Conclusion:
Our findings highlight the importance of promoting and maintaining adherence to the 24-h movement guidelines from middle adolescence to adulthood to prevent mental health problems. However, our findings must be interpreted carefully due to declared limitations, e.g., the self-reported assessments which are subject to sources of error and bias or that the dataset used to gauge meeting a guidelines (1994–1996) was made later (2016).

The Future: Missing Children, Time Travel, and Post-Nuclear Apocalypse in the Dark Series (Netflix)
2023
The concept of the post-apocalypse, a cultural imagination of nuclear energy, the temporality of trauma, and time travel are linked herein in order to arrive at a political reading of the Dark series. This show is a commentary on the phasing out of nuclear power in Germany in response to the nuclear disaster in Fukushima. Two readings of this series are proposed: a meditation on the possible futures of the world (the possibility of reparative action and the post-apocalypse) and a traumatic narrative (the concepts of trauma and loss are crucial to understanding the plot, while both the visuals and the plot borrow from posttraumatic cinema). Nevertheless, the series plays by the rules of popular trauma culture, rules whereby a tragedy suffered by others serves the economic interests of the media.

Towards examining and addressing the danger of unaccompanied migrant minors going missing
2021
The phenomenon of missing children is complex, further complicated by the specific circumstances of missing unaccompanied migrant minors. Owing to the (often forced) migration, these children have moved through different countries with diverse legislation and work practices. The international nature of these cases leads to confusion about the responsibility of different actors. Additionally, for these cases, little data are available. This article critically assesses current work practices in the EU. It also introduces a new practical solution based on empirical data from 26 international expert interviews, proposing a new alert system for missing children cases to improve the efficiency in responding to them and the international communication between stakeholders to improve the situation of missing unaccompanied migrant minors. The solution is currently in use by three organisations and has already been used in more than 85 real-life cases. It is concluded that it holds the potential to connect actors in a new, efficient way and prevent children, and unaccompanied migrant minors particularly, from falling off the grid. It is also highlighted that the situation of unaccompanied migrant minors is highly disadvantaged, and new, homogenous legislation among the EU member states that does not discriminate against the rights of migrant minors is imperative. New research should also actively involve them to better grasp their situation before and during their disappearance.

Investigating anaemia vulnerability: determinants and changes in prevalence among adolescent girls in aspirational districts of India
2025
The World Health Organization identifies adolescent girls as particularly prone to anaemia due to reproductive changes, with challenges being more pronounced in India’s ‘Aspirational Districts’ (ADs), which suffer from poor education and health. The study examines the prevalence of anaemia among adolescent girls in ADs and identifies associated determinants from 2015 to 2021. Data from the National Family Health Survey (NFHS)-4 and NFHS-5, covering 21,637 and 19,879 adolescent girls aged 15–19 in ADs, were analyzed. Multivariable logistic regression was used to identify the determinants of anaemia among adolescents. The results show a notable increase in anaemia among adolescent girls in ADs, where anaemia rates have climbed from 58.3% to 62.4%, surpassing the national average rise. Over this period, more than 65% of ADs saw an uptick in anaemia prevalence, affecting 75 out of 112 districts. Specifically, Barpeta in Assam recorded the highest increase in anaemia prevalence at 45.1% points, while Haridwar in Uttarakhand reported a decrease of 25.8% points. Additionally, anaemia prevalence was found higher among girls with higher parity, Muslim girls, and those from poorer households. Pooled regression revealed that adolescent girls with a higher number of children (AOR: 1.29), formerly married (AOR: 1.57), Scheduled Tribe (ST) girls (AOR: 1.44), and girls with amenorrhoea (AOR: 1.57) were highly associated with anaemia. Specialized healthcare and nutrition programs for adolescent girls, similar to those for pregnant women in ADs, are crucial. Focusing on formerly married girls, ST girls, and those with amenorrhoea will enhance access to health resources, reduce anaemia rates, and improve overall well-being.

Anti-HIV Agents - therapeutic use
2024
Introduction
To prevent vertical HIV transmission and ensure healthy mothers and children, pregnant women with HIV must remain on antiretroviral treatment (ART) for life. However, motivation to remain on ART may decline beyond the standard 2‐year breastfeeding/postpartum period. We assessed attrition and retention in ART care among women with HIV up to 6 years since enrolment in vertical transmission prevention services in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.
Methods
A prospective cohort of 22,631 pregnant women with HIV were enrolled in vertical transmission prevention services between January 2015 and December 2017 in routine healthcare settings and followed‐up to July 2021. Kaplan−Meier was used to estimate time to ART attrition (died, stopped ART or was lost to follow‐up [no show ≥90 days since scheduled appointment]) and the proportion retained in care. Cox proportional hazard models were used to estimate adjusted hazard ratios (aHR) of ART attrition in relation to predictors.
Results
Participants were followed‐up to 6 years for a median of 3 years (IQR: 0.1–4). The overall ART attrition rate was 13.8 per 100 person‐years (95% CI: 13.5–14.1), highest in the first year of enrolment at 27.1 (26.3–27.9), thereafter declined to 9.5 (8.9–10.1) in year 3 and 2.7 (2.1–3.5) in year 6. The proportion of women retained in care were 78%, 69%, 63%, 60%, 57% and 56% at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 years, respectively. ART attrition was higher in young women aged <20 years (aHR 1.63, 95% CI: 1.38–1.92) as compared to 30‐39 year‐olds and women enrolled late in the third versus first trimester (aHR 1.29, 95% CI: 1.16–1.44). In contrast, attrition was lower in older women ≥40 years, women who initiated ART before versus during the index pregnancy and women attending higher‐level health facilities.
Conclusions
ART attrition among women with HIV remains highest in the first year of enrolment in vertical transmission prevention services and declines markedly following a transition to chronic HIV care. Targeted interventions to improve ART continuity among women with HIV during and beyond prevention of vertical transmission are vital to ending paediatric HIV and keeping women and children alive and healthy.

Poetic Resistance: Girls’ Autograph Albums during World War II in Norway
2022
The analysis includes different aspects of the texts: the memory verses, the illustrations, and the spelling. Because Norway was occupied by Germany starting in the Spring of 1940, all explicit utterances of national feelings-like singing or writing the national hymn, or hoisting or drawing the flag-were forbidden. Vello Helk (1994, 173) supposes that the spread of the genre to other parts of Europe is due to foreign students taking the habit with them back to their home countries after the end of their university years. At the beginning, autograph books were owned by young, male, reference-seeking men, but soon the genre followed the trend of several cultural expressions in Western society: it started to spread socially to include middle- and, later, working-class men and women (Ekrem 2002, 115). At the start of the twentieth century, most album owners were young adults, but the typical age dropped, first to young teenagers in the first half of the century, and later to seven- and eightyear-olds by the latter half of the century (Klintberg 1978, 69).

The Politics of Removing Children: The International Tracing Service's German Foster Homes Investigation of 1948
2021
After the Second World War, the International Tracing Service's Child Search Branch (CSB) responded to inquiries for missing children and, until 1950 when funding was stopped, searched for children ‘in the field’. As the Cold War set in, the US military authorities restricted the opportunities for such children, mostly Eastern European, to be removed from their German foster parents and returned to their countries of origin. In the spring of 1948, when tensions between the CSB fieldworkers and the military authorities were at their height, ITS appointed an experienced fieldworker, Charlotte Babinski, to investigate cases of children in German foster homes with a view to streamlining policy regarding child removal. Despite her findings, as monetary and geopolitical pressures increased, the CSB had to accept that many children of Eastern European origin would remain in Germany. Children were thus a battleground in the early Cold War, in which politics triumphed over ethics.
