Corrigendum

The author information in the book review “Dalrymple, Mary &amp; Lowe, John J. &amp; Mycock, Louise (eds.). 2019. The Oxford Reference Guide to Lexical Functional Grammar. Oxford: Oxford University Press. Pp. 835” published in the issue Vol. 35 (2022) of the Finnish Journal of Linguistics was incorrect, the correct information is “Dalrymple, Mary &amp; Lowe, John J. &amp; Mycock, Louise. 2019. The Oxford Reference Guide to Lexical Functional Grammar. Oxford: Oxford University Press. Pp. 835”. Consequently, the first sentence of the book review is “The Oxford reference guide to Lexical Functional Grammar is a volume offering wide-ranging and detailed information about Lexical Functional Grammar (LFG).”

Essay: Theoretical and normative foundations for global health law

The Provincial Globalism (PG) and Shared Health Governance (SHG) frameworks established in Global Health Justice and Governance (Oxford University Press, 2018), provide theoretical and normative foundations for global health law. They ground global health law in human flourishing and health capabilities and require standards and legal and non-legal measures to ensure global health equity and justice. Specified roles and responsibilities for international organizations, states, and non-state actors provide a clear and structured approach for achieving global health equity, replacing the current fragmented international and global health law landscape.

Henry Ramsden Bramley: His Life and Edition of Richard Rolle’s English Psalter

H. R. Bramley’s 1884 edition of the English Psalter written by the Yorkshire hermit Richard Rolle (d. 1349), remains the standard edition of Rolle’s influential Middle English translation and commentary. In this essay, I discuss Bramley’s interest in Rolle and the making of his edition in light of Bramley’s biography as an Anglican priest, Oxford University administrator, and scholar. Bramley admired Rolle as a fellow Yorkshireman and as a pastoral-minded contemplative, whose spirituality and teachings were based on the Psalms. Bramley’s own theological writings are akin in certain respects to Rolle’s and his edition of the English Psalter is innovative, despite limitations. Correspondence and other material preserved in the Oxford University Press Archive (https://global.oup.com/uk/archives/index.html) reveal that Bramley changed his base text within a year of publication, producing as a result a more textually adventurous and useful edition.

Achieving better engagement with care and support for young people living with HIV in Australia: a mixed-method enquiry

ABSTRACT Young people aged 18–29 are considered “adult” within the Australian HIV health service context. However, evidence increasingly defines this age group as distinct from the broader adult population such that the needs of young people living with HIV may be overlooked in the context of HIV service design and delivery. This analysis draws on the Young + Positive study, a national study in Australia that documented the perspectives of young people (aged 18–29) living with HIV. Data were collected via survey (n = 60) and interview (n = 25) methods between 2018 and 2019. The data were analysed using descriptive statistics and thematic analysis, exploring the inner- and outer-world factors influencing participant engagement with HIV care and support. Using the multi-dimensional framework by Harms [2021. Understanding human development (3rd ed.). Oxford University Press], we found that both inner- and outer-world factors influenced participants’ ability and motivations to engage with specialist HIV treatment and support. Inner-world factors included psychological outlook, and perceptions of HIV and HIV services. Outer-world factors included workforce competencies of service providers, physical space of the service and hours of service operation. These research findings confirm that opportunities exist to better meet the treatment and care needs of young people living with HIV.

More than software vendors. The peculiar case of Palantir’s data integration platforms

ABSTRACT As digital platforms are increasingly incorporated within the digital apparatus of states in Europe, platformisation (Poell, T., Nieborg, D., & van Dijck, J. (2019). Platformisation. Internet Policy Review, 8(4), 1–13. https://doi.org/10.14763/2019.4.1425; van Dijck, J., Poell, T., & de Waal, M. (2018). The platform society: Public values in a connective world. Oxford University Press.) needs to be analysed in further detail with reference to both the specificities of the field that is affected (Seibt, D. (2024). Platform organizations and fields: Exploring the influence of field conditions on platformization processes. Critical Sociology, 50(7-8), 1323–1342. https://doi.org/10.1177/08969205231221444), but also the practices of the companies that provide the platforms. This paper, in line with the special issue's focus of data integration and analysis platforms, maintains a two-fold focus on the US-based company Palantir. On the one hand, the paper critically discusses the company's discursive and material practices. Said practices include the construction of a company profile as a supporter and protector of Western values and the provision of their product for “free” for short periods, which both function as an effective entry strategy into sensitive state-run institutions, which are in principle highly regulated (Ozalp, H., Ozcan, P., Dinckol, D., Zachariadis, M., & Gawer, A. (2022). “Digital colonization” of highly regulated industries: An analysis of big tech platforms' entry into health care and education. California Management Review, 64(4), 78–107. https://doi.org/10.1177/00081256221094307). On the other hand, the paper seeks to position data integration platforms in the platformisation discussion, with reference to their peculiar characteristics. Finally, the paper seeks to contribute into a finer breakdown of what is often referred to as “Big Tech” into singular actors, with differentiated practices and strategies on their transformation into quasi-public actors (Taylor, L. (2021). Public actors without public values: Legitimacy, domination and the regulation of the technology sector. Philosophy & Technology, 34(4), 897–922. https://doi.org/10.1007/s13347-020-00441-4).
