European Vaccine Initiative (EVI)’s Post

Happy to have my latest publication out ! this time with Wiley! A research paper that I enjoyed weaving its realities with theoretical insights . Thanks to my reliable research mate "Mrs. Mai Hamam that made sure to keep my feet on the ground and curb my overly theoretical tendencies. I dedicate this paper to refugees worldwide and in Egypt, who not only carry their sufferings, but encounter rising xenophobia everywhere, complex procedures and diverse webs of morality. https://lnkd.in/dSufKkUm

New #openaccess paper in JEMS by Tony Capstick highlights the importance of digital literacies in enhancing refugees' resilience in the Global South. It emphasizes refugee-led research, focusing on language as a source of capital to mediate health literacies and enhance transnational family resilience. The study advocates for inclusive research approaches that prioritize refugees' language practices and address power dynamics in research design. https://lnkd.in/eZjUqg_a

For those who are interested in Sudan's conflict, I share my latest work (Sudan’s Current Conflict: Implications for the Bordering Regions and Influence of the Key Regional/International Actors), which was published in The Journal of Social Encounters. I highly recommend to read the whole publication (Vol. 8, Issue 2), as there are lots of very interesting articles about Sudan.

Шимон Юлія, [16.08.2024 11:41] 🌍 Improving Intercultural Communication in Medicine 🌍 Working with doctors from different cultures can really highlight the importance of how we ask questions. Recently, I was helping a Ukrainian cardiologist refine their approach to taking a patient’s medical history. We looked at lifestyle questions like “What bad habits do you have?” This can seem too direct or even offensive in English-speaking countries. Instead, try saying, “I’d like to know if you smoke or drink” or “Could you tell me if you smoke?” In my lessons, I won’t be teaching your profession, but I will focus on helping you be more effective in cultural awareness and understanding cultural nuances as you interact in English-speaking contexts and environments. It’s not just about what you ask, but how you ask it. Small changes in phrasing can make a big difference in how your questions are received and help build better rapport with patients from different backgrounds. 🩺🌐 More about #MedicalEnglishCourse 🌐 https://lnkd.in/dpccaBuW 🖇 http://surl.li/nbqmmb 📎 http://surl.li/vsnkel #MedicalEnglishCourse #Lingua_zakarpattya #медичнаанглійська #англійськадлялікарів #курсанглійської #медичнийкурс

Intersecting inequalities exacerbate the negative impacts of crises on marginalised people’s lives ❗ 📑 NEW WORKING PAPER! BASIC Research addresses this gap in knowledge about the multi-layered effects of marginalisation and crises through generating understanding about the social assistance experiences of marginalised people in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq (KRI). The research provides insights into how safer, and more dignified, inclusive, effective, and accountable provision might be fostered through inclusive participatory processes.

Finished reading them Dina S Z.! Congratulations on your launch. Review: I like the fact that the book brings us readers on a journey of reflection and the adventure you took afterwards. Lots of things discussed inside, from class to space and home, to identity and belonging. One section of the book I somehow reminded me of the presentation Aziff Azuddin gave on IMAN Research project of Malay Youths, particularly on how young non Klang Valley Malays feel and view democratic participation and activism. Perhaps I will follow soon with a book idea, but first PhD. I am still exploring what does home mean, for myself, perhaps the Malays and the people I am currently researching in second-generation refugee/migrant community.
