Explore the Influence of Culture on Nursing Practice and the Delivery of Health Care...Dedicated to the advancement of culturally competent and culturally congruent health care, the Journal of Transcultural Nursing discusses important topics that affect nursing and health care clinical practice, research, education, and theory development.Discover How Culture and Health Care InterrelateThis dynamic and sometimes controversial publication offers practical information about how to deal with diverse cultures on issues that may affect nursing and health care, such as: Birth, including prenatal care, pregnancy, labor, delivery, and post-partum care Rites of passage rituals Definitions of illness Family roles and responsibilities for ill clients Withdrawal of treatment decisions Death and dying Medication and home remedies/treatments Nutrition and diet Reactions to mental illness Symptom management Racially abusive clients Care of the elderly Managing culturally diverse work forces Culturally appropriate communication, diagnoses, interventions and standards of careThe Journal of Transcultural Nursing also offers nurses, educators, researchers, and practitioners theoretical approaches and current research findings that have direct implications for the delivery of culturally congruent health care and for the preparation of health care professionals who will provide that care.A Comprehensive ApproachThe Journal of Transcultural Nursing includes intriguing and critical articles on Research, including both qualitative and quantitative methodologies, evaluation, and validity and reliability issues Theory Development, including conceptual models and theories currently used to guide culturally congruent health care. Education, including pedagogy, tools for increasing cultural awareness, integrating transcultural nursing concepts into the academic curricula and staff development programs, and teaching culturally diverse nursing students. Clinical Practice, including practical applications of research findings to clinical practice, such as adapting end-of-life care to the needs of specific ethnic populations, developing a hospital-based website with culture-specific information for both staff and patients, and culture assessment tools. International Department, including collaborative international research models, international consultation, and government and non-government health policy formation Information Resources, including internet resources, book reviews, special transcultural programs, and annotated bibliographiesThe Journal of Transcultural Nursing is at the forefront of promoting the creation of standards for transcultural nursing practice, professional competency, and clinical practices. It also keeps you in touch with the Transcultural Nursing Society's news and events.

The Journal of Transformative Education (JTD) is a peer-reviewed, scholarly journal focused on advancing the understanding, practice, and experience of transformative education. JTED offers articles that test, build on, and elaborate existing theoretical perspectives; demonstrate innovative and creative applications of the theory in practice; and explore the international and cross-cultural issues of the theory and practice of transformative learning.

The Journal of Transition Metal Complexes is a scholarly open access, peer-reviewed, and fully refereed journal. It presents original papers, reviews, and communications on all aspects of theoretical and experimental transition metal complex chemistry. Original manuscripts are expected to provide a clear contribution to advances in the chemistry of complexes and applications. Reviews are acceptable in all areas of metal complex chemistry and may focus on the metal, ligand or applications. Reviews concerning coordination chemistry should be developed fully from the basics, carefully relating the topic to the field, and from the literature with a critical view of recent work.

Editors: Samir M. El-Medani and Mohamed A. Zayed

The goal of the journal is to improve the understanding of metal complex chemistry issues through the integration of evolutionary principles and perspectives. Articles can specifically consider evolutionary patterns or processes, or simply incorporate an evolutionary perspective into the analysis of a coordination chemistry topic. The journal welcomes submissions over a broad range of disciplines, including mathematical modeling, computer simulation, and comparative studies. The materials published in the Journal of Transition Metal Complexes consider those working in related disciplines, such as chemical engineering, chemical analysis, molecular catalysis, biology, medicine, agriculture, materials science, and energetics.

• the impacts on public health and inequalities of:
  • active modes of transport;
  • noise and air pollution generated by transport;
  • road traffic injuries;
  • community severance;
• road danger and its reduction:
  • actual safety and security hazards associated with transport;
  • perceptions of danger and factors affecting these;
• factors affecting transport choices:
  • urban form;
  • location and accessibility of health and other facilities;
  • age, health and disability;
  • socio-economic inequalities;
  • rurality;
  • logistics systems, especially for food transport and distribution;
  • tourism and leisure travel;
• synergies between sustainability and health impacts of transport;
• economic and health impact assessments; and
• policies that promote or discourage healthy and sustainable transport modes, transport systems and communities.

The journal aims to cover transport and health issues in all countries. Three particular aims of the journal are: to promote dialogue between the two research communities it serves; to improve the quality of data and the appropriate use of data; and to encourage transfer of research into practice.

Transport and Health Study Group (THSG)
JTH is formally affiliated with the Transport and Health Study Group (THSG). However, JTH is a scientific journal, and manuscripts submitted to JTH will therefore be considered on two factors - their scientific quality and the relevance of their content - and not on whether the study's findings conflict with current THSG policy. As the THSG prides itself on promoting evidence-based policies, there will be occasions when such policy needs to be reviewed because of emerging evidence.

JTEP is international both in terms of authors and readership. Since it first appeared, more than 650 papers have been published from Europe, North America, the Pacific Rim/Australasia, Africa, Asia, and South America. This international variety is also reflected in the readership.Published three times a year, the journal covers all modes of transport and a wide variety of economic themes, including: Passenger Transport, Freight Transport, Shipping, Aviation, Transport Infrastructure, Environment & Energy, Traffic, Planning and Policy, Safety, Costs & Pricing, Competition, Evaluation, Productivity, Demand & Elasticities, Service Quality, Economies of Scale, Economics Regulation and Choice.

A major resurgence has occurred in transport geography in the wake of political and policy changes, huge transport infrastructure projects and responses to urban traffic congestion. The Journal of Transport Geography provides a central focus for developments in this rapidly expanding sub-discipline. The aim is to bring together contributions from the major strands of current transport geography research:• Transport policy practice and analysis, especially the impacts of deregulation, privatization and subsidy control• Infrastructure impact on trip making, the spatial economy and regional development• Technological innovation in transport and telecommunications and global and regional economic integration• The growing mobility gap between rich and poor and differential accessibility to jobs and services• Transport, environment and energy• Travel, recreation and tourism• Spatial and behavioural aspects of modelling transport demand• Methodological developments• The role and utility of Geographical Information Systems in transport research.Benefits to authorsWe also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.
