Making diversity visible in often unrecognised family practices

Making graphene visible

Microfabrication of graphene devices used in many experimental studies currently relies on the fact that graphene crystallites can be visualized using optical microscopy if prepared on top of Si wafers with a certain thickness of SiO2. We study graphene’s visibility and show that it depends strongly on both thickness of SiO2 and light wavelength. We have found that by using monochromatic illumi...

Making the invisible visible.

There would be no population problems if people were not concerned about the evidently increasing difficulties of survival. Such is not the case as is evident in the global efforts for economic and social development. Yet, in the minds of most people the population question as a "situation" or a "problem" does not exist. When its reality is asserted by others, it is frequently regarded as a ...

Making Thought Visible

Creative thought is invisible. Sketches of thought not only make it visible to others, so they can study creativity, and to self, to foster creativity. Sketches reveal thought, promote communication, and foster inference and discovery. A range of quantitative and qualitative data from coding sketches, interactions with sketches, and inferences from sketches uphold these conclusions. 1. Solving ...

Making air pollution visible: An ethnography of data practices in a multi-disciplinary public health project

Changing family food and eating practices: the family food decision-making system.

BACKGROUND Food decision-making processes interact with family and community environments to shape families' thinking (i.e., their constructed reality) about food, eating, health, and well-being as discussed by Gillespie and Gillespie (J Fam Consum Sci 99(2):22-28 2007). PURPOSE To understand the processes and impetuses for changing family food and eating routines and policies and to develop ...
