Call for papers

 

Decolonizing knowledge, approaches and methodologies in health promotion

 

Please share in your networks! 

 

Following the Tiohtià:ke Statement: Catalysing policies for health, well-being and equity, an outcome of IUHPE2022 World conference, decolonization encompasses the whole-of-the-society and involves global, regional, national and local levels of policy, governance, systems, and communities. It involves questioning and revisiting our worldviews, thinking patterns, governance, organizations and institutions, to include the diversity of traditions and knowledge.

GHP latest editorial On disrupting colonial assumptions in health promotion - Carlos E. Sanchez-Pimienta, 2023 discusses what decolonization in health promotion means and offers a personalized reflection on ways to further the inclusion of various knowledge traditions.

Now, we wish to move forward the discussion on decolonizing knowledge, approaches and methodologies in health promotion and offer a space for critical reflection and sharing experiences from various parts of the world.

We welcome contributions on knowledge systems, approaches, practice, and methodologies that integrate and centre diverse traditional, Indigenous and other local knowledge, values and worldviews in health promotion research and practice.

Contributions can be theoretical papers, case studies, research results, program evaluations, or commentaries.

Papers on the following topics highlighted by the IUHPE2022 Statement are particularly encouraged:

• Approaches and methodologies to health, policy and practice integrating diverse traditional, Indigenous and local knowledge systems to promote health, health equity and well-being.
• Wholistic approaches that recognize spirituality, culture, language, knowledge systems, and identity as vital parts of human health and health promotion.

• Indigenous knowledge systems in the face of climate change and environmental challenges.
• Trauma-informed approaches.
• Culturally safe and culturally adapted approaches.
• Nature-based approaches.

• Research and evaluations that centre and value reciprocal relationships with communities in decision-making and leadership throughout the knowledge creation process.

• Other topics are welcome!

Contributions can be submitted in English, French or Spanish, on the journal’s website, here: https://journals.sagepub.com/author-instructions/PED

Appel à contributions pour la revue

Global Health Promotion

  

Décoloniser les savoirs, les approches et les méthodologies en promotion de la santé

 

Merci de partager dans vos réseaux!

 

Selon la déclaration de Tiohtià:ke: Catalyser les politiques pour la santé, le bien-être et l’équité, résultant de la conférence mondiale de l’UIPES2022, la décolonisation englobe l’ensemble de la société et concerne les politiques, la gouvernance, les systèmes et les communautés aux échelles mondiale, régionale, nationale et locale. Cela nous amène à remettre en question et à revisiter nos visions du monde, nos modes de pensée, notre gouvernance, nos organisations et nos institutions, afin d’inclure la diversité des traditions de connaissances.

Le dernier éditorial de GHP Rompre avec les présupposés coloniaux en promotion de la santé  offre une réflexion sur ce que signifie la décolonisation pour la promotion de la santé et sur les moyens de favoriser l’inclusion de diverses traditions du savoir.

À présent, nous souhaitons continuer la discussion sur la décolonisation des savoirs, des approches et des méthodologies en promotion de la santé et offrir un espace de réflexion critique et de partage d’expériences provenant de diverses parties du monde.

Nous invitons à soumettre à la revue vos contributions originales sur les systèmes de connaissances, les approches, les pratiques et les méthodologies qui intègrent diverses connaissances, valeurs et visions du monde traditionnelles, autochtones ou locales dans la recherche et la pratique de la promotion de la santé. Les contributions peuvent être des articles théoriques, des études de cas, des recherches, des évaluations de programmes ou des commentaires.

Les textes sur les sujets suivants, mis en évidence par la Déclaration de l’UIPES2022, sont particulièrement encouragés:

• Approches et méthodologies en matière de santé, de politiques et de pratiques intégrant divers systèmes de connaissances traditionnels, autochtones et locaux pour promouvoir la santé, l’équité en santé et le bien-être.
• Approches holistiques qui reconnaissent la spiritualité, la culture, la langue, les systèmes de connaissances et l’identité comme des éléments essentiels de la santé humaine et de la promotion de la santé.
• Les systèmes de connaissances autochtones face aux changements climatiques et aux crises environnementales.
• Approches adaptées aux traumatismes.
• Approches culturellement sécuritaires et approches culturellement adaptées.
• Approches fondées sur la nature.
• Méthodologies basées sur les relations réciproques avec les communautés dans la prise de décision et le leadership tout au long du processus de création de connaissances.
• D’autres sujets connexes sont les bienvenus!

 

Les contributions peuvent être présentées en anglais, français ou espagnol, sur le site Web de la revue.

Call for engagement with the People-Planet-Health Action Board on community (urban) regeneration though participatory methods

 

Announcing two events that will take place in April! Do not miss this unique opportunity to share your ideas about planetary health, participation and community regeneration with World Health Organization representatives.

 

Visions for local participation in global policies: Workshop

On Monday, 24th of April 2023 (1 – 3 pm CET), we will meet to share our ideas about ways of global participation of unheard local voices for a healthy planet. The topic of participatory methods and community urban regeneration were proposed by participants from Honduras and Spain at the first Action Board meeting and were very much welcomed by Dr. Rudiger Krech, WHO Director for Health Promotion. In this Workshop, we will exchange our experiences, ideas and visions on how unheard and unseen communities and voices can inform global policies for planetary health, and talk about how to broadly develop the approach of community urban regeneration, renewing visions for cities and communities oriented towards energy efficiency and social inclusivity.

All ideas will be welcomed: whether you are trying new participatory approaches in your specialist area of interest, or simply have ideas about what participation in a healthy future means to you, all visions will be valued. Discovering which beliefs about participation in planetary health connect us, and also what unique contributions we each bring to the discussion, we will agree a set of visions and values to share with WHO representatives at our Second Meeting of the PPH Action Board.

 

Next Meeting of the People-Planet-Health Action Board

On Friday 27th of April 2023 (11 – 12am CET), we will meet with Dr. Ruediger Krech and other senior colleagues from WHO to share those visions and ideas of methods and experiences from  unheard voices for a healthy planet. We will celebrate the sustainable innovations you have championed or imagined and ask WHO colleagues how they might inform planetary health policy on a global scale.

 

For more information see the outcomes from the first Action Board meeting in October 2022 and the information an the People-Planet-Health Action Board and what it entails.

 

Interested parties may contact Claudia Meier Magistretti This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or Jake Sallaway-Costello This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. 

 

Links to join the activities will be shared with participants in due course.

January 21, 1940 – February 11, 2023

 

With sadness, the Executive Board of IUHPE reflects on the life and contributions of Prof. Emeritus, Jürgen M. Pelikan, PhD.

 

He was professor emeritus of sociology at the University of Vienna, Austria and Adjunct professor at the Centre for Environment and Public Health, Griffith University, Brisbane, Australia.

 

Prof. Pelikan was a long-time supporter of IUHPE and an elected member of the board of trustees from 2007 to 2013, as well as a founding member of the IUHPE Global Working Group on Health Literacy. He co-authored the International Union for Health Promotion and Education (IUHPE) Position Statement on Health Literacy (2018). He was also active on the Global Working Groups for Salutogenesis and Healthy Settings.

 

He was the founder (1992) and (co-)director of the WHO Collaborating Centre for Health Promotion in Hospitals and Health Care, hosted at the Department of Health and Society at Gesundheit Österreich GmbH (Austrian Public Health Institute).

 

As principal investigator (PI) of the WHO model project “Health and Hospital”, and the first European Pilot Hospital Project on Health Promoting Hospitals, he co-initiated the International Network of Health Promoting Hospitals (HPH) and Health Services. Since its start in 1993, he was the Chair of the Scientific Committee of the annual International HPH Conference and advisor to the HPH Governance Board. He co-authored the Budapest Declaration, the Vienna Recommendations, the 18 HPH core strategies, the Amsterdam Declaration towards Migrant-Friendly Hospitals in an ethno-culturally diverse Europe, and the New Haven Recommendations on partnering with patients, families, and citizens to enhance performance and quality in health promoting hospitals and health services.

 

Prof. Pelikan was influential in establishing health literacy research in Europe. He co-initiated the first European Health Literacy Survey and was responsible for data analysis and results reporting. He was the Principal Investigator for a project on Health Literate Health Care Organizations and led work on the European Diabetes Literacy Project. He was the project director of an Austrian project on adolescent health literacy and on health literacy of two migrant groups in Austria.

 

He was a co-editor and author of the WHO publication Health literacy: The solid facts. He co-chaired the WHO Action Network on Measuring Population and Organizational Health Literacy (M-POHL).

 

He held multiple positions in international organizations over the years: member of the scientific advisory board of the Asian Health Literacy Association (AHLA), founding member of the Executive Board of the International Health Literacy Association (IHLA), President of the European Society of the Sociology of Health and Medicine, consultant to WHO/Euro, WHO-HQ and the European Commission. He was a member of the editorial board of the journal Health Promotion International and was a co-editor of Clinical Health Promotion – Research and Best Practice for Patients, Staff and Community.

 

Prof. Pelikan, a sociologist, has authored numerous publications on the theory of health and health promotion, on salutogenesis, the settings approach, evaluation in health promotion, quality in health care, measurement of personal health literacy and of health literate health care organizations A list of his scientific publications is available from:  https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Juergen-Pelikan

 

In addition to his many professional accomplishments, Jürgen was appreciated by his colleagues as a friend and mentor. He was known to be “always building bridges”, a “champion of social justice”, “a humanist of great culture”, and to have a “keen intellect.” As one member said, “He did a lot, but said little. Wise, thoughtful, calm and supportive.”

 

As individual members and as a global organization, IUHPE wishes to acknowledge Professor Jürgen Pelikan’s passing and to offer sincere condolences to his family and friends.

 ----------

Selected Quotes from IUHPE Executive Board Members

 

“I had the privilege to work closely with Jürgen and other colleagues to create “Health and Modernity” a reflection on theories for health promotion. For this project our small group held several meetings over a few years and during which we shared thoughts and experience on the theoretical foundations of our field. Jürgen was an extremely original and sophisticated thinker on how health promotion is a reflection and a transformative force in our societies. I will remember him as a kind man and a “renaissance” man: a humanist of great culture. I think that we should also extend our condolences to Marina, his lifetime companion, who was ever present in his conversations.”

Louise Potvin

 

“I worked with Jurgen since 2007 on implementation & promotion of health promoting hospitals and health literate organizations. With the support of his expertise, we held the 2012 International Conference in Taipei reaching the ever highest number of participants and countries. He did a lot, but said little.  Wise, thoughtful, calm and supportive.”

Shu-Ti Chiou

 

“I am really sorry to hear this sad news about the passing of Professor Jürgen Pelikan.

He was a very significant figure in Health Promotion, not only in Europe but internationally. Both his earlier ground breaking work in relation to Health Promoting Hospitals and more recently in Health Literacy had a global impact.

I had the privilege of getting to know him through my role as a Scientific Board Member of the then Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Health Promotion Research in Vienna. I visited over a number of years for annual meetings. 

Alongside his keen intellect, Jürgen was always incredibly courteous, thoughtful and kind.

He will be sadly missed by the global health promotion community and my sincere condolences go to all his close colleagues, friends and family at this sad time.”

Margaret Barry

 

“Professor Pelikan has been serving as the advisor to Asian Health Literacy Association (AHLA) and attended our annual conference in person for many years. He is a great supporter to the establishment of AHLA in 2013. 

As the pioneer in health literacy, he shared his experiences in health literacy research in Europe with Asian group.  His speech is always full of wisdom, and we always love to hear his advice, in particular the way how to develop/validate health literacy measurements and how to advocate health literacy in organizations despite of all the challenges and barriers. 

His valuable contributions to health literacy knowledge and practices in both Asia and the globe is well recognized. 

Our deepest condolences to his family and we wish him rest in peace.” 

Angela Leung

 

We are deeply shocked and saddened by the news of Dr. Pelikan's passing.

His organization's health literacy chart impacted many professionals in Japan.

I want to express my sincere condolences. I pray that he may rest in peace.

Hiroshi Fukuda

 

 

 

The 15th Conference of the parties to the UN convention on biological diversity is taking place this December in Montreal, Québec (COP15 of Kunming, China, Part II). IUHPE has gained accreditation by the Secretariat of the Convention for Biodiversity, as observer for the event. We have submitted an opening statement (available here) for the record, and will be present onsite to share publications and information at a booth hosted by Montreal International. We will make the most of this unique opportunity to highlight the role of a healthy planet as a key determinant of health and will share relevant documents, such as the declarations of World Conferences IUHPE2019 (including the Indigenous Statement) and IUHPE2022, GHP articles from the last 5 years (available here), and the People-Planet-Health Project. We will also have the opportunity to connect with other health stakeholders present, and jointly advocate for all parties to take a broad view of health and equity while considering the impact of biodiversity loss and other environmental threats on NCDs.

                   

 

IUHPE at the 75th World Health Assembly

 

WHA75 Non-State Actors Individual Statements

 

Item 16.2 - Strengthening WHO preparedness for and response to health emergencies

 

IUHPE Statement:

The Geneva Charter names various health-related risks for the future and calls to set the foundations for well-being. Similarly, the IUHPE2019 Rotorua and Waiora Legacy Statements, and the IUHPE2022 Tiohtià:ke Statement call for a global effort to address the wellbeing of the planet and humanity.

IUHPE advocates for a systems approach that allocates resources and builds capacity to create health for all, by fostering resilient and healthy populations so that vulnerable populations are not disproportionally threatened.

The IUHPE system requirements provide a framework for a collective response to current health issues. These include Political and Policy Requirements, Enabler Requirements, and Delivery and Implementation Requirements. They are easily adaptable to health emergency preparedness and response plans. And can be used alongside bottom-up processes reflecting local and Indigenous knowledge.

We call on Member States to embrace these systems requirements and to support and value initiatives that protect the natural environment and the health and well-being of all.

Item 15 - Human resources for health

 

IUHPE Statement:

The “Working for health: draft 2022-2030 action plan” on human resources for health addresses the need for financially sustainable health and care systems. We argue that a specialized health promotion workforce is necessary to prevent the increasingly alarming cost of preventable diseases, to increase resilience of populations and communities, and to engage with actors across sectors and settings to address the determinants of health.

Health promotion practitioners develop and exercise a range of competencies that are fundamental to effective health promotion and the prevention of disease. IUHPE has identified, through a rigorous and consensus-building process, core competencies and standards of practice applicable globally. They form the basis for the IUHPE Global Accreditation System. Health promotion practitioners are essential to achieve the WHO target of one billion people enjoying better health and wellbeing. IUHPE calls on member states to recognize and to value the unique competencies and contributions of health promotion practitioners.

IUHPE World Health Day statement

 

Written by Dr. Trevor Hancock, member of the IUHPE Global Working Group on Waiora Planetary Health and Human Wellbeing.

 

Our Planet, Our Health, Our Health Promotion Task 

Today, April 7^th,  we join people around the world in celebrating  World Health Day, marking the 74^th anniversary of the founding of the World Health Organization (WHO). This year WHO has chosen the theme of ‘Our Planet, Our Health’, in order to “focus global attention on urgent actions needed to keep humans and the planet healthy and foster a movement to create societies focused on well-being.” 

 

This reflects a growing global concern about what we are doing to the Earth, and what that means for the well-being of humanity – and the wellbeing, indeed the very survival in many cases,  of all the other species with whom we share the Earth. Our actions were summed up bluntly and succinctly by Antonio Guterres, the UN Secretary General, in December 2020: “Humanity is waging war on nature . . . this is suicidal.”

 

On its World Health Day 2022 website, the WHO is equally clear and blunt:

“WHO estimates that more than 13 million deaths around the world each year are due to avoidable environmental causes. This includes the climate crisis which is the single biggest health threat facing humanity. The climate crisis is also a health crisis.”

 

The IUHPE has recognised the importance of planetary health for some years. The theme for our 2019 Global Conference on Health Promotion, held in Rotorua, Aotearoa New Zealand, was ‘WAIORA: Promoting Planetary Health and Sustainable Development for All’.

 

Reflecting the important role of the Maori people as co-hosts of the conference, there was a strong emphasis on Indigenous perspectives and knowledge throughout the conference. This was also reflected in the use of the Maori word ‘Waiora’ in the title; the word “means water in its purest, life-giving form” but “is linked more specifically to the natural world and includes a spiritual element that connects human wellness with cosmic, terrestrial and water environments. It is a call to share knowledge from our diverse cultural systems for the wellbeing of the planet and humanity.”

 

In the Conference Statement

“participants call on the global community to urgently act to promote planetary health and sustainable development for all, now and for the sake of future generations”,

while the Indigenous Peoples’ Statement noted:

“We call on the health promotion community and the wider global community to make space for and privilege Indigenous peoples’ voices and Indigenous knowledges in taking action with us to promote the health of Mother Earth and sustainable development for the benefit of all.”

 

One result of the conference was the creation of the IUHPE Global Working Group on Waiora Planetary Health and Human Wellbeing (Waiora GWG). The GWG is helping IUHPE and the health promotion field focus on planetary health, and to recognise and pay attention to Indigenous peoples’ voices and Indigenous knowledges in working to protect and heal Mother Earth and promote the wellbeing of people and the myriad species with whom we share this small planet that is our one and only home.

 

Thus IUHPE strongly supports the theme of ‘Our Planet, Our Health’, having made planetary health part of our strategic priorities for its 2021 – 2026 Strategic Plan. IUHPE is determined to enhance a planetary consciousness in health promotion, and to incorporate an eco-social understanding of planetary health and human wellbeing into health promotion, making it transformative and more effective.

 

We strongly encourage the health promotion field, and indeed governments and societies as a whole, to embrace the concept of planetary health and to heed WHO’s call in the Geneva Charter to create Well-being societies that  are “committed to achieving equitable health now and for future generations without breaching ecological limits”.

 

IUHPE is convinced planetary health is central to health promotion policy and practice in the 21^st century, and that it must become a core subject not only in the education and training of health promotion practitioners but all health prtactitioners. And it must be linked to the social determinants of health, recognising both that social values drive social and economic development and thus ecological change, but that social and ecological injustice co-exist and must be addressed together.

 

Finally, IUHPE encourages health promoters and other health professionals around the world to take the Planetary Health Pledge. A shortened version, based on the Pledge in the Lancet in 2020, has been developed by Doctors for Planetary Health – West Coast. They suggest making a video of yourself taking the pledge - alone or together with colleagues, - and posting it to social media, with the hashtags #PlanetaryHealthPledge  #HealthierTomorrow  #ClimateJustice  #OneHealth  #ActNow

IUHPE STRATEGIC PLAN: 2021-2026

 

This Strategic Plan (2021-2026), which was developed in consultation with the IUHPE Executive Board and members, builds on existing developments and outlines the strategic priorities of the organization over the next five years.

The central theme and overarching framework that informs this Strategic Plan is a systems approach to health promotion. The Strategic Plan places the strengthening of health promotion systems at the centre of our priority actions. This is informed by the key requirements and enablers for strengthening health promotion systems, as outlined in a Position Statement published by the International Union for Health Promotion and Education in 20181. These system requirements inform and underpin this Strategy, as they are critical to effective action.

The Strategic Priorities identified for 2021-2026 include:
• Action on the determinants of health and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
• Addressing global challenges to health and health equity, including noncommunicable and communicable disease and promoting mental health and wellbeing
• The development of the health promotion field

These strategic priorities are supported by Operational Measures, which align with the portfolios of IUHPE Vice Presidents. These measures are advocacy, partnerships, leadership, capacity development, knowledge development and translation, communication, membership development and effective governance.

 

READ THE IUHPE STRATEGIC PLAN: 2021-2026

 

The dissemination of quality, timely and understandable information is key in slowing down transmission and avoiding overburdening the healthcare system. We have been supporting dissemination of evidence-based messaging on COVID-19 by trusted sources (e.g. WHO, national public health agencies, research institutions) mainly via Twitter.

To further IUHPE contribution to this collective effort, we are compiling a list of resources from key sources, IUHPE institutional members, Global Working Groups and Networks, academic publishers as well as collections of resources. We will be updating this page as new resources are created, or we learn about them.

We are open to receiving suggestions to add to this list – especially if they have a health promotion approach – just click on this form and let IUHPE know about them!

This workshop organised by IUHPE addressed the importance of health promotion for enabling all human beings to have healthy lives, to maximise their health potential and ensure that no one is left behind.  Health promotion is a critical component of modern health systems and a vital strategy for sustainable health development and human flourishing. Effective health promotion strategies are essential in addressing the broader determinants of health, reducing health inequities, and tackling current and emerging health challenges to human development.

Achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and universal health coverage calls for concerted action on health promotion as an integral component of modern health systems and future development. While successive global health policies have endorsed the need to invest in health promotion, political commitment to implementing health promotion is lacking and health policies and budgets remain focused on curative approaches. Health promotion is often poorly understood, both within the health sector and society more widely, and there is a limited appreciation of what is required to translate health promotion into effective action. Transformative health promotion actions are needed to deliver on improved population health and wellbeing and the creation of a healthy society where human wellbeing can flourish.

This workshop aimed to engage participants in an interactive discussion on how health promotion policy, research and practice can be strengthened in order to advance human health and wellbeing. Critical insights were exchanged on how to bring a renewed focus on health promotion as a key transformative and disruptive strategy for advancing human wellbeing development. The workshop critically considered what mechanisms are needed for strengthening health promoting policies, implementation processes and structures, capacities and research, to advance population health and wellbeing and a healthier future for all.

 

Key messages:

• Health promotion actions are critical to the delivery of improved population health and health equity, transforming health systems and enhancing human wellbeing and sustainable development.

• Strengthening health promoting policies, practices and research is essential to achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals and enable the conditions for a healthier world.

Members of the IUHPE Global Working Group on Health Literacy actively participated in a workshop on health literacy. More than 70 participants joined the virtual workshop from across the world and contributed to a lively discussion on health literacy and public health policy making.

Health literacy has evolved into a key dimension of public and global health policy. In the wake of Health in all Polices (HiAP), the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and recent health equity discussions, health literacy plays an important role in the context of health promotion and education in order to empower people and enable systems to sustain more effective health communication and better health outcomes. Health literacy increases personal and organizational capacities to deal with health information and make informed decisions, as well as creating an environment that supports these actions. In recent years, digitalization and digital transformation of societies and everyday environments have contributed to the increasing awareness of the role of health literacy for navigation of these new and often complex environments. Together, these developments have facilitated the establishment of health literacy as a critical policy item on agendas across the world, such as that of the IUHPE Position statement on health literacy. A practical vision for a health literate world.

In response to these developments, the aim of this workshop was to address policy issues in relation to health literacy and to:

• present research findings from recent health literacy policy initiatives, such as the WHO European health literacy roadmap and action plan and European national policies and

• initiate a critical discussion regarding future health literacy policy development in the European region and beyond. 

Key messages:

• Health literacy policy is an important cornerstone of national and global public health and policy strategies and linked to the UN Sustainable Developmental Goals.

• WHO Europe has launched a health literacy strategy and is now developing a pan-European action plan that should help to promote health literacy in populations in the 53 countries of the European Region.

• Worldwide, there are already 26 health literacy policies in 18 countries that specifically address children and a hand-on guide on how to develop new strategies and improve existing ones is being developed.

• Policy planning must include cultural appropriateness as an important dimension to depict the diversity of people in order to ensure that action on health literacy reaches all populations effectively and where they stand – including during a period of health crisis.

• In order to enhance health literacy development in the population and generate better health outcomes, health literate thinking and health literacy responsiveness must be integrated into current health strategies, including drawing the link between health literacy and the UN SDGs.

Nuevo grupo de trabajo mundial de la UIPES sobre promoción de la salud mental

 

 

 

This year’s World Mental Health Day urges us to make “Mental Health for All” a reality. For the World Health Organization, United for Global Mental Health and the World Federation for Mental Health, this means the opportunity to call for a massive scale-up in investment in mental health, a position IUHPE is eager to support.

Mental health is a positive resource for living that requires whole-of-government and whole-of-society approaches. Upstream policies and practices are needed to ensure that the conditions that create good mental health and reduce inequities are accessible to all. The COVID-19 crisis has also highlighted the urgent need to address the mental health impact of a pandemic at a population level.

IUHPE invites you to learn more about its new Global Working Group on Mental Health Promotion. This Group aims to advance the professional development and integration of mental health promotion within the wider health promotion field, and to advocate for a greater focus on implementing mental health promotion within global health and development agendas.

Margaret Barry, IUHPE President, WHO Collaborating Centre for Health Promotion Research, NUI Galway, and Chair of the Global Working Group, presents this group of experts and shares what it means to approach mental health from a health promotion perspective.
