We have been attempting to engage with the public in a number of ways recently. The first was via having a stand at an Alzheimers Care Show in London, not quite the same as the Care Show at the BIC which targets those working in the care world (we had a stand there too and lots of interest, but in a business sense), the show in London was different in that it was advertised and open to anyone interested in dementia. The organisors sold hundreds of tickets in advance to those working in the field but tickets were on sale on the day for anyone worried about their memory or their family members. This was a slightly novel approach and on the second day, a Saturday, there was a lot of footfall from people directly affected by dementia rather than those working in the field (who swarmed in on the first day). It was interesting to hear this audiences views about what Universities should be doing to address their concerns, and is an area that vexes me as we are not a campaigning organisation, nor are we a service, but we clearly need to engage with and work to our key stakeholders agendas and concerns to be having genuine impact. Training professionals working in the field is an obvious one (and the key issue raised at our own local carers forum last year) as was the need for more information to sign post people along their dementia journey (and is one of the areas Claire House-Norman and her team are currently fundraising for). However one of the big issues raised was the need to challenge perceptions about dementia, the assumption that people with dementia are less able, lost, require ‘special’ treatment that results in marginalisation and stigmatisation. Now this aspect was really interesting to us in BUDI as we also have an arts and dementia project on the go at the moment where we are collecting written accounts from people with dementia and the general public about what they think dementia is/means to them and peoples’ views and experiences about dementia; this will be exhibited at the Festival of Learning in June. Standing windswept at Bournemouth beach this weekend – one of our general public venues (we, BUDI staff and volunteer BU students, have been all over in the last week with further venues this coming week, for examples in supermarkets, shopping centres, hotels, sports centres, libraries, and schools) it struck me how many people steer away, physically and mentally, from the word dementia. Our pop ups and papers blowing around in the wind at the beach attracted attention and laughter from passing members of the general public as we raced around to pick stuff up and tie it down, and did result in some people stopping to talk about and write about their experiences/thoughts. Free sweets also pulled in teens and families to stop and talk but to not necesssarily write as they didn’t know what dementia was or didn’t want to write down their experiences. Also some people stopped, read the sign and made comments about dementia and did a physically body swerve. We also got a lot of people who did stop and write about their views and experiences (and we are currently at about 400 stories in total) but there seems to be a general fear? aversion? negativity? to the word dementia which makes our arts project even more important as we are trying to get people to think about dementia and question and challenge the negative stereotypes that abound about this condition. Engaging with the public about issues perceived as ‘difficult’ in some ways isn’t easy, nor is it easy to find practical ways for our University based work to have real impact, but we have started the journey and are open to any creative ideas others might have about how else we might go about engaging!

Stop Press: BU involved in first ever national health promotion conference in Nepal
(c) Sheetale “Ishwori and women in a health promotion group laughing when asked if men would help in the housework; part of addressing women’s status @GTNHP”
BU Professor Edwin van Teijlingen is involved in organisation of the first National Health Promotion conference in Nepal. The conference is held in Kathmandu over the Easter weekend (March 30th-April 1st). This is a unique collaboration between Bournemouth University, the Government of Nepal, international organisations such as the World Health Organization, USAID, the Nepalese media, and several universities and colleges; and will highlight the importance of health promotion at all levels in Nepal.
One of the opening plenary will be given by Prof. van Teijlingen, we will outline health promotion from a global perspective. A total of 75 papers will be presented at the conference, including one by HSC BU PhD student Ms. Sheetal Sharma. She will also present findings from the long-term research project that aimed to improve the uptake of maternity services in rural Nepal. Her PhD research is supervised by HSC’s Prof. Vanora Hundley, Dr. Catherine Angell & Prof. van Teijlingen as well as Dr. Padam Simkhada from The University of Sheffield and Visiting Faculty at HSC. As part of the conference Prof. van Teijlingen and Dr. Simkhada will also run a skills-building workshop which offers training on writing up of findings health promotion research for academic journals.
There will be 250 participants from seven different countries including the USA, Canada, UK, India, Nigeria, the Netherlands and Nepal. This is the first ever conference of its kind to held in Nepal in the field of health promotion.
Prof. van Teijlingen said: “Nepal has a double burden of diseases. It experiences both the kind of infectious diseases associated with being a low-income country, and a growing burden of the kind of diseases commonly associated with lifestyles in high-income countries. Therefore, is it is encouraging to see that so many different organisations have signed up to the principles of health promotion.”
Ms. Sharma commented: “Nepal is an exciting country to conduct research in, with the diverse castes and motivated rural community volunteers; also among South Asian countries, its speed of development is considerable: the Maternal Mortality rate was halved despite a decade long civil war, Abortion is legal since 2002, same sex marriage since 2008. It is important to disseminate findings to relevant stakeholders.”
Dr. Simkhada and Prof. van Teijlingen are both Visiting Professor at two Nepalese universities. They have more than sixty of research articles publish in international journals on health-related issues in Nepal. Sheetal Sharma was funded by BU to travel to Nepal and attend the conference. Prof. van Teijlingen was interviewed for national television in Nepal regarding the Public Health conference.
The Health Promotion conference has its own web site see: http://hpconference.org.np/
Prof. van Teijlingen has been conducting research in Nepal for nearly a decade. Some of the work he is evaluating is supported by Green Tara UK, a Buddhist organization based in London.

CEMP and CIPPM Researchers co-publish reports on parody for the UKIPO
Dr. Kris Erickson (CEMP), Dr. Dinusha Mendis and Professor Martin Kretschmer (CIPPM) have co-authored a series of reports commissioned by the UK Intellectual Property Office (UKIPO) on parody and pastiche. Empirical and legal research is presented in a sequence of three reports published by the UKIPO in March 2013. The three studies commissioned by UKIPO evaluate policy options in the implementation of the Hargreaves Review of Intellectual Property & Growth (2011).
Study I authored by Dr. Kris Erickson presents new empirical data about music video parodies on the online platform YouTube
Study II authored by Dr. Dinusha Mendis and Professor Martin Kretshcmer offers a comparative legal review of the law of parody in seven jurisdictions
Study III authored by Dr. Kris Erickson, Professor Martin Kretschmer and Dr. Dinusha Mendis provides a summary of the findings of Studies I & II, and analyses their relevance for copyright policy.
All three reports can also be found here
Study I presents new empirical data about music video parodies. A sample of 8,299 user-generated music video parodies was constructed relating to the top-100 charting music singles in the UK for the year 2011.
Study II discusses of the legal treatment of parodies in seven jurisdictions that have implemented a copyright exception for parody. The jurisdictions include Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Netherlands, UK, and USA. Study II identifies possible regulatory options for benefiting from a parody exception to copyright infringement, and distils the (economic and non-economic) rationales developed by legislators and courts. The report concludes by setting out a list of policy options.
Study III brings together the legal analysis and the empirical data. Each of the policy options identified in Study II is examined for its likely impact on the empirical sample gathered in Study I.
The research team comprising of Dr. Kris Erickson, Dr. Dinusha Mendis and Professor Martin Kretschmer presented the following key findings arising from the three Studies:
- Parody is a significant consumer activity: On average, there are 24 user-generated parodies available for each original video of a charting single.
- There is no evidence for economic damage to rights holders through substitution: The presence of parody content is correlated with, and predicts larger audiences for original music videos.
- The potential for reputational harm in the observed sample is limited: Only 1.5% of all parodies sampled took a directly negative stance, discouraging viewers from commercially supporting the original.
- Observed creative contributions were considerable: In 78% of all cases, the parodist appeared on camera (also diminishing the possibility of confusion).
- There exists a small but growing market for skilled user-generated parody: Parodists who exhibit higher production values in their works attract larger audiences, which can be monetized via revenue share with YouTube.
Engage with Dorset HealthWatch via Twitter!
Healthwatch is the new independent, consumer champion for health and social care services in England. The local Dorset HealthWatch are holding a tweetchat on Wednesday 20th March from 1-2pm.
The idea is to discuss how social media can be used to encourage volunteering and participation in Healthwatch during a lunchtime twitter session. Dorset HealthWatch tweet under @HwatchDorset, and the hashtag for the event is ‘#HwatchDorset’.
Twitter chats are discussions that take place on twitter, at a specific time around a predetermined subject. They use a hashtag (#) as a flag that binds a conversation together. Tweetchats are an excellent way to use Twitter to discuss topics with peers.
If you’re already on twitter just use the hashtag #HwatchDorset on Wednesday 20th March between 1pm and 2pm. If you’re new to twitter – register here http://www.twitter.com then search for @HwatchDorset and ‘follow’ and remember to include #HwatchDorset in your tweets.
Please use and promote #HwatchDorset – the first, 10th and 20th retweet we receive will win a £20 shopping voucher. We will also make a donation of £150 to a community group nominated by one lucky chat participant – be in it, to win it…..
This is a great opportunity to engage with a local health third sector organisation on the social media.
