Multiple barriers were related with the low level of PA among Tongan Americans. Mobile technology is a promising way of enhancing PA among Tongan Americans and potentially other Pacific Islander subgroups. Culturally tailored strategies could significantly enhance the effectiveness of PA intervention.
Congenital syphilis is a prevalent infection in much of the world but rare in contexts where antenatal screening and treatment are available. In the UK in 2016, three cases of congenital syphilis were reported in babies born to women who were seronegative at the time of booking and hence a high degree of clinical vigilance is required in the unwell infant. We present the case of a seven-week-old baby girl with congenital syphilis with the unusual finding of discrete liver lesions. This baby was successfully treated with intravenous ceftriaxone.
Over the past three years teachers at Mercia Primary School (Gee long) have engaged in a research project aiming to extend teachers ' and students' understandings of Indonesia; liniitations in curriculum resources forced a broader focus on 'Asia'. Motivated by a whole school research project positioned within the context of government policies to ensure Australians are 'Asia literate', the teachers used action research to guide their curriculum work. The teachers were seeking ways to explore with their students the changing relations between Australia and Asia in order to improve their students' understandings of changing global interdependencies. The research efforts of these teachers were supported by links with university-based researchers. In this paper, four members of this collaborative team describe the action process, showing how it guided the negotiation of teaching and learning about Asia, and how it informed participants' understandings of the possibilities for and limitations of developing a postcolonial pedagogy.
