    Experimental results are presented on the reaction K+n→K0p at 2 GeV/c. As required by strong ρ-A2 exchange degeneracy, the dσ/dt distribution shows no structure at t~-0.6 (GeV/c)^2. The dσ/du distribution for backward charge-exchange scattering does not agree with proposed I=0 baryon-exchange models

    Evidence for a Non-HulthĂ©n Impulse-Model Component in K+d→K*0 (890)pp at 2.0 Gev/c

    In a study of K+d→K*0(890)pp at 2.0 GeV / c, evidence is found for the occurence of the single-pion virtual state d→π-(pp) associated with the high-momentum tail of the deuteron

    Worker well-being and the importance of work: bridging the gap

    Get PDF
    The importance of worker well-being is widely-embraced both in theory and policy, but there are numerous perspectives on what it is, how to measure it, whether it needs improving and if so, how to improve it. We argue that a more complete approach to worker well-being needs to consider workers as full citizens who derive and experience both public and private benefits and costs from working. A broad framework on the meanings of work is used to expand the boundaries of worker well-being to reflect the broad importance of work in human life

    ‘Wellness’ lifts us above the Food Chaos’: a narrative exploration of the experiences and conceptualisations of Orthorexia Nervosa through online social media forums

    The increasing prevalence of eating disorders has motivated a burgeoning of research from narrative methods to illuminate the cultural and social aspects of disordered eating habits. A seemingly new eating disorder, Orthorexia Nervosa, has gained visibility through the internet sphere and popular media, though scholarly attention has been scarce. This study develops qualitative understandings of the fixation with ‘clean eating’ through narrative inquiry by employing an internet ethnographic approach. Data were analysed using a thematic narrative analysis, focusing on parallels and divergences across narratives presented online. This article presents 30 male and female voices, illustrating how these individuals understand their eating habits through narratives of pursuit, resistance and recovery, which are largely motivated by the desire for physical, emotional and social change. Crucially, this study illuminates a range of cultural elements enabling eating disorders in response to the transmission of cultural values online set within the broader context and processes of reflexive-modernisation
