Public Belief in the “Great Replacement Theory”

2 weeks ago | journals.sagepub.com | James Dennison |Alexander Kustov

IntroductionIn recent years, a wide range of political actors have promoted the conspiratorial narrative that elites are purposely “replacing” white majorities in Western countries with other ethnicities. In the English language, this narrative is typically called the “Great Replacement” by its proponents (and the “Great Replacement Theory” or GRT by observers), likely derived from French writer Renaud Camus’s 2011 book Le Grand Remplacement (Zúquete 2018).

3 weeks ago | journals.sagepub.com | Miho Tanaka

Skip to main content Intended for healthcare professionals Skip to main content As I join the team at the American Journal of Sports Medicine as the inaugural Associate Editor of Women’s Sports Medicine, I am honored and grateful not only to fill this role, but also that such a role even exists in this elite journal. It is important to highlight that this concept is not to promote female physicians caring for female patients.
Connectivity in the Human Cerebral Cortex: A Fundamental Problem and a Possible Explanation for the Cognitive Power of Vertebrates

4 weeks ago | journals.sagepub.com | R. Douglas Fields

The recent reconstruction of all cells and synaptic connections in a sample of human cerebral cortex reveals an unexpected outcome that challenges the prevailing understanding of neuronal communication (Shapson-Coe and others 2024). Most connections in the human cerebral cortex are single en passant synapses, which are too weak to depolarize the postsynaptic neuron to the action potential threshold (Fig. 1).
‘I shouldn’t have to educate their school about what autism is’: Community attitudes and parent reports of autistic primary and secondary school experiences in Australia - Sandra Thom-Jones, Chloe S Gordon, Simone Mizzi, 2025

4 weeks ago | journals.sagepub.com | Sandra Thom-Jones |Chloe Gordon |Simone Mizzi

BackgroundInclusion in education is a human right, a legal entitlement and a core component of educational policy and agenda (Australian & Government, 1992, 2005; UNESCO, 1994; UN General Assembly, 2015). In Australia, inclusion means that a young person with a disability can participate in education on the same basis as a student without a disability through the provision of reasonable adjustments.
Bayesian inference for nonlinear mixed-effects location scale and interval-censoring cure-survival models: An application to pregnancy miscarriage

1 month ago | journals.sagepub.com | Danilo Alvares |Cristián Meza

1. IntroductionIn Obstetrics research, a recurring interest is to study longitudinal beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-HCG) hormone measurements from women during the first quarter of their pregnancies and the pregnancy outcome from some women who had complications leading to miscarriage.1 During the early stages of pregnancy, it is important to consider how the fluctuation in hormone concentration happens within such a framework, since it might alter the pregnancy’s outcome.

Transition: Revisiting a Troubled Concept in the Age of Climate Change

1 month ago | journals.sagepub.com | Jonathan White

Forging a political response to human-made global warming has widely come to be phrased as a problem of transition. Policy-makers, scientists, NGOs and others frame the challenge as the pursuit of a green transition, while variants such as the just transition are used to highlight its normative aspects. In adopting the concept of transition, these actors employ a term with a broader history.

IntroductionIn the last 20 years, the global landscape of mental health care has benefitted from a transformative shift towards early intervention provided by national access programmes and primary mental health services. These significant investments, exemplified by Australia’s headspace programme (McGorry et al., 2007), are committed to improving access to evidence-based care for those experiencing mental ill health.
