Welcome
Welcome from the Co-Editors-in-Chief
We are so pleased to welcome readers to volume 4, issue 3 of the Healthy Populations Journal (HPJ). HPJ is a student-run, open-access, peer-reviewed journal nestled within the Healthy Populations Institute at Dalhousie University. Our focus is to highlight student-led population health research and support new authors in the academic publishing process. Since our inaugural issue in the spring of 2021, we have published 13 issues and continue to grow. Submissions from students locally, nationally, and internationally continue to demonstrate the need for student-led and student-focused peer-reviewed journals that disseminate diverse, creative, and interdisciplinary knowledge.
The cover of this issue features photography by one of HPJ’s founders and outgoing Co-Editor in Chief, Christie Stilwell. As Christie formally steps down from her role, the HPJ would like to acknowledge her leadership and support as an invaluable asset in ensuring the growth of HPJ. On her departure, Christie offers us a juxtaposition of the new and old as inspiration for repurposing what we outgrow and challenging the status-quo in an effort to live more sustainably.
Articles in this issue cover timely, interesting, and important topics such as the value of community-based doula training to support Black maternal health (Ottley), how play-based programs for autistic children and youth are perceived by their caregivers (So), and the factors that influence mental health literacy in Canada (Hill). Student perspectives are highlighted in a study that explores the relationship between student employment status and capacity to meet 24-hour movement guidelines for health and well-being (Shivgulam) and student perceptions and awareness of social prescribing in post-secondary settings (Smoke). The issue wraps up with a review protocol that aims to summarize literature on the feasibility and benefits of exercise programs in individuals living with a brain cancer diagnosis (Langley). We extend our appreciation to these authors and the reviewers who supported this work, bringing it forward to another exciting issue.
HPJ would not be possible without support from the Healthy Populations Institute and the guidance from the HPJ Editorial Board Members. We look forward to this period of transition into longer-term planning and restructuring. Stay tuned for more and, on behalf of the board, I extend a most heartfelt thank you to Christie for all her work, support, and leadership on HPJ.
We truly hope you enjoy reading volume 4, issue 3.

Www-sisällönhallintajärjestelmien vertailu mikroyrityksen käyttöön : case Lumestustekniikka HPJ Oy
Tämän opinnäytetyön tavoitteena oli tutkia eri www-sisällönhallintajärjestelmiä, jotta löytyisi helposti omaksuttava järjestelmä mikroyrityksen käyttöön. Työn toimeksiantaja oli Lumetustekniikka HPJ Oy, jolle tehtiin uudet verkkosivut vertailun perusteella valitulla järjestelmällä. Lumetustekniikka HPJ Oy maahantuo lumitykkejä sekä toimii lumetusjärjestelmien ja keskusten suunnittelussa, koulutuksessa ja konsultoinnissa. Yritys toimittaa myös tarvittavia laitteita lumetusjärjestelmiin ja lumitykkeihin.
Työn kehitystyötä ja järjestelmien vertailua tehtiin WAMP-ympäristössä. Vertailun jälkeen Lumetustekniikka HPJ Oy:n verkkosivusto toteutettiin yrityksen kanssa valitulla sisällönhallintajärjestelmällä. Tämän jälkeen järjestelmä siirrettiin yrityksen omalle palvelimelle lopulliseen käyttöön.
Työssä käytettiin laadullista tutkimusmenetelmää, koska työ keskittyi uuden ratkaisun etsimiseen. Aineistona työssä käytettiin aiheeseen liittyvää ammattikirjallisuutta. Sisällönhallintajärjestelmien omilta verkkosivuilta löytyi myös jonkin verran tietoa koskien järjestelmien asennusta sekä teknisiä ominaisuuksia. Sisällönhallintajärjestelmien vertailuun liittyvää tutkimusta tehtiin WAMP-ympäristössä, johon järjestelmät asennettiin.
Sisällönhallintajärjestelmäksi valittiin CMS Made Simple, jonka kanssa Lumetustekniikka HPJ Oy:n verkkosivusto toteutettiin

Welcome from the Editors
We are so pleased to welcome readers to the sixth issue of the Healthy Populations Journal (HPJ), a special edition focusing on health equity. HPJ is a multi-faculty, student led, open access, peer- reviewed journal housed at HPI at Dalhousie University. HPJ aims to make academic authorship accessible for students by reducing barriers to publishing, sharing, and accessing research. As part of our mission to support and disseminate research which advances knowledge on population health research and global health equity, we partnered with the CAHSPR Student Working Group to create a special issue to facilitate a sharing of student-led research taking place across Canada.
