So, this is the new editor. I am going to try out four features and see how they stack up:The bullet list works wellHow about the numbered list?The hyperlinksThe tableThe graphsCitationsThese are important as these are the life blood of any scholarly writing. How does the numbered list feature work?Works well, as the automated numbering worked like a charmIt also turned off automatically as I skipped a line. I am happy with this feature. Let's move to the next feature, i.e., tables.Table 1. A tableThis ThatThe table function still sucks. I think the best strategy might be to use an insertion of perhaps LateX or markdown. Let's see

Summary The purpose of this presentation is to provide a brief overview of the tension between the so-called construct or trait mindfulness as used in the therapies and the origins of the Buddhist mindfulness (Anapanasati and Satipathana Sutra based mindfulness ascribed to the teachings of The Buddha) and later on Tibetan practices of Attention, Shamatha, and vipassana meditation. We shall see that while these practices are somewhat overlapping, the modern tendency to ascribe biological and other properties to these ancient practices that deviate from their original meanings can be problematic, as referred to the works of Zizek and others. We shall further review the literature around the effectiveness and biological plausibility of the mindfulness practice and we shall argue that there may be other factors that may underlie the reported effectivness of these practices. We shall highlight the necessity of reading closely the Buddhist texts to gain a deeper understanding of these processes and hence the relevance of delving into the de Jong archives not only for Buddhist scholars but also for the modern day practitioners who would intend to ”use” the mindfulness meditation in a more “secular” context for therapeutic applications.

_Summary_ The purpose of this presentation is to is to discuss an overlap between construct mindfulness (trait mindfulness) used in clinical literature and the notion of Buddhist mindfulness as described in the Suttas in Buddhist literature and compare and contrast the two. in doing this work, we may seek the help from de Jong Archives maintained at the Unviersity of Cantebrury. In this paper, we first discuss the notion of mindfulness as discusesd in the clinical literature and then we describe the notion of mindfulenss as described in Mahayana and Theravada literature, and other ways of open awareness meditations that have been the centrepiece of buddhist Buddhist philosophy. As the tenstion between secular mindfulness and Buddhist mindfulness grows or is an issue n the practical applications in psychological literature, we sahll rview this in our discussions and see if how we may reconcile the two from a reading of the Suttas or Buddhist literature.

The purpose of this document is to show you how you can use Revman 5 to conduct a systematic review but more specifically, how you can use Revman to critically appraise literature using tools such as GRADE. We assume that you are familiar with the basic terms and know that different research questions require differnt types of study designs to approach the truth or associations. We also assume that you are aware that evidence based medicine or evidence based public health or evidence based health requires that you will search the liateruate literature databases, identify articles and then you will criticially appraise them and then finally, after apprasing the articles critically you will be abelt o bal able to synthesise the findings to arrive a t at a conclusion. In this example, we shall take five articles and appraise and summarise them. In the process, we shall learn the fundamental basics about evidence based healthcare. 

Here, I’d like to outline the key concepts of evidence based health and medicine. We begin with a description of what is meant by evidence based health care and why we should study this topic. Then we outline the steps of evidence based practices in health and health care. Evidence based health care refers to a process of judicious use of best available evidence for the purpose of making health care decisions for the benefit of the individual patient, keeping in perspective the clinician’s or practitioner’s own expertise and the patient’s or the client’s requirements and values. The practices include five different steps. It starts with the step of formulating a problem statement in terms of the person, intervention or exposure under consideration, comparator conditions, and outcomes that are of interest to the patient or client. Following this initial step of formulation of the key quesiton, the evidence based practitioner (EBP) then formulates a search strategy and initiates a search of the key literature databases. The liteature databases provide the practiitioner with sources of literature. In the third step, the pracitioner appraises the available evidence to match two issues: is the body of the available evidence valid? And secondly, is the available evidence applicable to the patient or client or the situation at hand? In the fourth and final step, the evidence based pracitiioner then applies the appraised and summarised evidence to the patient or client after taking into consideration the patient or the client preferences and his or her own previous experiences. This approach towards addressing health care problem solving or health care practice is a major change from the traditional practice in which medical care has been conducted. In the traditional practice of medicine, (consider pre-EBM era), the doctor would base his or her practice on two points. He would base his medical or health care practice on the knowldege of the mechanism of the disease and health conditions – thus, biology of the disease, the pathology, the biochemistry, and the physiological parameters of disease causation would play a very important role. In addition, the doctor would rely on the experience and expertise. These two aspects together would be sufficient and necessary for the practice of medicial and health care.

The purpose of this paper is to write about the concepts of evidence based health and its application in health with emphasis on population health. We shall learn how to search for articles and resources, how to critically appraise journal articles and how to synthesise evidence. Evidence based health was a term coined by David Sackett Sackett 2015

Authors Dr Arindam Basu, University of Canterbury, School of Health Sciences, email: [email protected], Dr Shrimati Das, Nehru College, Bengaluru, India, email: [email protected] Abstract We argue in this paper that as India continues to assert her “soft power” by influencing other countries, her pattern of transaction with the rest of the world is changing. In turn, this has resulted in a unique occupational/population health problem that warrants examination. Since mid-1990s, Indian entrepreneurs established “business process outsourcing centres” (BPO and Call Centres) in India that served back offices to the developed countries; further, the Y2K crisis in computing provided opportunities for Information Technology professionals from India find overseas jobs. Both contributed to India’s economic growth but also exposed Indians to life stresses in the developed countries. BPOs are important tools India uses to project her soft power, yet how do the working conditions in BPOs affect the health conditions of their employees? While the Diaspora act as agents of India’s soft power, trying to project India’s expertise in different spheres, they too seem vulnerable to the stresses of migration. We present our findings from a survey conducted in Bengaluru, India and highlight health issues related to stress and work associated with BPO. We also draw a parallel with a survey of health effects observed among Indians and compared with other immigrants in Auckland DHB region in New Zealand. In the light of these findings, we discuss the broader question how should India address health issues to create a better environment for its own citizens even as it realises its aspiration as a global soft power.

ABSTRACT

SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS The summary or abstract of the thesis needs more work! Smoking is a leading cause of preventable diseases and death world wide and within New Zealand.To date, a lot of previous research has been conducted and this suggests that Internet and Cell phone based interventions are effective to achieve cessation of smoking however the effects are short term.The purpose of this Meta Analysis was to investigate the effectiveness of Internet and Cell phone based interventions to achieve longer term cessation of smoking among adolescent and adult smokers.The analysis was based on the assessment of Randomied Controlled Trials whose interventions included Internet and Cellphone components and reported outcomes at six months or longer. Furthermore, this analysis was based on English Language articles published in the previous 10 years and whose comparison group received either any other intervention or an intervention inclusive of but not limited to Internet and Cell phone based interventions delivered at a lower frequency. Both a Fixed effects and a Random effects Meta Analysis between all studies were conducted to assess the length of abstinence.Morever the individual studies were grouped using an outcome theme and five subgroup analyses were conducted. Findings from both, the Fixed effects and Random effects analysis suggest great heterogeneity among the studies.Additionally some heterogeneity was found among the five subgroup but overall findings suggest that Internet and Cell phone based interventions used in smoking cessation are effective in achieving longer term cessation of smoking. Findings from the subgroup analyses suggest that both Internet and Cell phone based interventions combined with an additional intervention Nicotine Replacement Therapy are most effective in achieving longer term cessation of smoking among adolescent and adult smokers.

SUMMARY OF THE THESIS The purpose of the thesis is to examine the relationship between acculturation and mental health status of Zimbabweans of Black origin who are settled in New Zealand. Acculturation was measured using the Vancouver Index of Acculturation questionnaire responses, and mental health status was measured using the whoqol questionnaires. XXX has written that acculturation is important for good mental health.

Objectives This study tested the effectiveness of a service development tool – “Knowing the People Planning” (KPP) for management of mental health clients in the Canterbury District Health Board (CDHB), New Zealand. Methods A longitudinal study was conducted in the CDHB mental health services and data were obtained from 341 clients who managed clients with long term mental health disorders, under the care of the Community Mental Health Teams (CMHTs), in Christchurch. The managers at the North, South, East and West CMHTs were invited to participate in the study. The West CMHT managers were provided with KPP (N=83) while the other teams continued with usual care (N = 258). The intervention period was staggered over different time points, and The Health of the Nation Outcome Scale (HoNOS) data were collected every three-months over a three-year period to investigate mental health outcomes. The data were analysed using RM-ANOVA, and GEE in SPSS. Lessons Learned The intervention group showed increase of reporting of client symptoms in the first three months following the intervention commencement period. Scaled scores for reporting of the client symptom scores were notably higher in the intervention group for depression (standardised beta = 1.86 (95% CI: 1.22, 2.49), and the HONOS 12-item summative scores (standardised beta = 2.24, 95% CI: 0.86, 3.63). Implications Immediately following KPP implementation, case managers reported increased scores for client symptoms. This implies that KPP can reinforce observations among the mental health case managers and can be used as a monitoring tool in the community mental care setting.

Narrow-sense heritabilities of the wood properties of two-year-old _Eucalyptus bosistoana_ were estimated from 623 stems. Heritability estimates for growth-strain (0.63), density (0.54), diameter (0.76), volumetric shrinkage (0.29), acoustic velocity (0.97) and stiffness (0.82) are presented. A modified version of the splitting test for detecting growth-strain is described. The modified rapid testing procedure results in left-censored growth-strain data, a Bayesian approach is implemented to reduce errors associated with censored data sets. Correlations between wood properties are presented and discussed, as well as trade-offs when shifting trait means by selective breeding.

_Summary of the Paper_ The purpose of this paper is to write about the excessive stress related diseases that are observed in the Indian diaspora settled in many different parts of the world. We shall also examine the health effects reported in a survey of Indian professionals who work in call centres throughout India as these indicate a form of internal migration. We hypothesise that a persistent pattern of unrealised promise, both in internal migration from villages or small towns to larger cities, and within larger cities from one set of circumstances to another as well as unrealised dreams and unfulfileed promises may underlie the atypical health effects that seem to reverse the “healthy migrant effect” among Indian diaspora that settle in different parts of the world, specifically reviewing evidence from New Zealand and evidence from a cross sectional survey in Bangalore. We hypothesise that there are similarities between the pattern of migration abroad in specific countries and job patterns for middle to lower-middle class non-technically educated Indians (excluding Engineeers and doctors, and other highly technical well placed jobs), and the transmigration of Indian labourers in the nineteenth centuries as described in the trilogy “Sea of Poppies”. Drawing on the story of the migration detailed in the Sea of Poppies and current migration patterns, we lead to the hypothesis of the consistent pattern of reversal of healthy migrant effect seen in Indian settlers in developed countries.
