This article explores how food is good to think mobilities with. Food, taste, and eating are all implicated in differing mobilities, whether corporeal, technological, imaginative, or virtual. The space of the dining car brings together the corporeal mobility of passengers, the technological mobility of the railways, and the mobility of food. Through the reflections of eating in the dining car by E. M. Forster and Roland Barthes, this article explores this particular experience of eating on the move, before examining how cultures of food and eating are central to experiences of "traveling-indwelling" and "dwelling-in-traveling" through the wider connections of food mobilities.

Presentation of the Turing Way at the Tools, practices and systems for data science and artificial intelligence: scoping workshop. As announced last year, The Alan Turing Institute has received significant new funding from the UKRI Strategic Priorities Fund for a research programme in AI for Science, Engineering, Health, and Government. A key theme of this will include a cross-cutting effort to develop tools, practices, and systems to support all areas of the programme and, more broadly, to wider research in applied data science and AI. A user-centred approach will be taken when creating these tools to ensure they are of practical use to researchers with a clear potential user-community among the Institute's challenge domains. This scoping workshop will bring together data science and AI researchers to collaboratively propose and define short, practical projects that will be supported under this theme. Following the workshop, attendees will develop these into more concrete project outlines which will then considered by the management board for the programme.

OBJECTIVES: We aimed to compare the effect of a comprehensive intervention package focusing on the animal-source protein (egg and milk)-based snack in conjunction with feeding counseling, water sanitation and hygiene, and supplementation with multiple micronutrient powder on linear growth and development of 6‒12-month old children in rural Bangladesh. Primary and secondary outcomes were differences in length-for-age Z score and cognitive development. METHODS: A community-based cluster randomized controlled longitudinal trial included 412 mother-infant pairs from 13 unions (small-administrative-unit) of Harirampur sub-district, allocating to receive treatment (n = 206) or regular health messages (n = 206) as control. The treatment group received monthly food vouchers (30 eggs, 12 L milk, 500 g semolina, 500 mL oil, 500 g sugar) to prepare nutritious children's snacks, micronutrient powder, child feeding and handwashing counseling for 12 months. The Control group received routine health messages from the government. Anthropometry, feeding and morbidity data were collected at baseline, monthly and endpoint. Children's development was assessed only once at an endpoint using Extended Ages and Stages Questionnaire (EASQ), Bayley III and Wolke's behavior rating scales. We used generalized linear regression modelling to conduct intention to treat analysis. RESULTS: Children's mean weight and length were similar between groups at baseline. At endpoint, compared to the control, treatment children had higher mean length (83.52 and 80.89 cm; difference: 2.62, P < 0.001); higher LAZ score (β: 0.38, CI: 0.24, 0.51); 61% lower rate of stunting (IRR: 0.39, CI: 0.22, 0.67); higher cognitive (β: 4.01, CI: 2.08, 5.94), language (β: 2.94, CI: 0.94, 4.94) and motor (β: 4.53, CI: 1.87, 7.20) scores, all being statistically significant. The intervention also improved developmental EASQ outcomes of the treatment children (gross and fine motor, problem-solving, and socio-emotional scores). CONCLUSIONS: A comprehensive intervention ...

Background: A range of evidence for the effectiveness of one-to-one peer support in mental health services is emerging. Levels of engagement with peer support vary with limited studies showing few individual participant characteristics predicting engagement. Implementation factors that might predict engagement have not been considered. Methods: Data were analysed from the intervention arm of the ENRICH trial of one-to-one peer support for discharge from acute psychiatric inpatient care. Two outcomes were considered: (1) a measure of 'engaged with peer worker'; (2) number of face-to-face contacts with peer worker post-discharge. Two sets of independent variables were analysed against each outcome: (1) pre-randomisation participant characteristics; (2) implementation factors measured pre-discharge. Analyses used logistic and zero-inflated negative binomial regression models according to outcome structure. Results: Data were analysed for 265 participants randomised to peer support who had a known peer worker. Non-heterosexual participants had increased odds of engaging with peer support compared to heterosexual participants, OR = 4.38 (95% CI: 1.13, 16.9, p = .032). Longer duration of first contact with peer worker ( OR = 1.03, 95% CI: 1.00, 1.04, p < .001) and more relationship building activities in the first contact ( OR = 1.4, 95% CI: 1.13, 1.85, p = .004) were associated with greater odds of engaging with peer support. Analysis of number of contacts post-discharge showed consistent findings. Conclusions: Implementation of peer support should include a focus on relationship building in the first session of peer support. The potential for peer support to break down barriers to accessing mental health services experienced by people from marginalised communities warrants further investigation.
