Biodiversity as a Social–Ecological Capability
Biodiversity loss is an increasingly critical sustainability challenge; yet, within the Natural Resource‐Based View (NRBV), it remains undertheorised and is often treated as a generic environmental factor rather than a structuring social–ecological mechanism. This study reconceptualises biodiversity as shaping how environmental capabilities emerge and create strategic value. Drawing on an inductive qualitative approach supported by Fuzzy Cognitiv…
Extreme heat risk perceptions and readiness in schools
The increasing frequency and intensity of heatwaves poses significant challenges to schools, particularly in terms of ensuring the safety and well-being of pupils and staff. This paper investigates the perceptions of extreme heat risks and the readiness of schools to adapt to such conditions in the United Kingdom (UK), focusing on the experiences and viewpoints of schoolteachers and wider school staff. A survey was disseminated through multiple a…
Choreographing a good death
The proliferation of assisted dying legislative reforms globally is a significant change in the social and medico-legal landscape of end-of-life care. Understanding the impacts of these legislative reforms on family members who care for a dying person is vital, yet under-theorised in research. In this article, drawing on semi-structured interviews with 42 carers for a person who has sought assisted dying in Australia, and extending ideas of ontol…
Investigating moral hazard and property-level flood resilience measures through panel data from Germany
Property-level flood resilience is an important element of managing current and future flood risk. Government-provided flood protection infrastructure alone cannot fully prevent flood impacts. Property-level flood resilience can aid in the management of risk through two interconnected avenues of individual action. The first is through risk transfer (insurance), which provides post-disaster compensation so that the recovery process is enhanced. Th…
Identifying and characterising individual flood precautionary behaviour dynamics from panel data
Individual precautionary behaviour in response to flooding can considerably reduce flood impacts. Therefore, understanding its drivers and temporal dynamics is of high interest for risk management and communication. Previous studies are mostly based on temporally limited data by using cross-sectional surveys. Here we identified and characterised different types of trajectories of adaptive behaviour after a flood event. We used panel data, where 2…
Spinning in circles? A systematic review on the role of theory in social vulnerability, resilience and adaptation research
Preparedness for caregiving and preparedness for death
The purpose of this study was to (1) explore associations between preparedness for caregiving and preparedness for death among family caregivers of patients with advanced cancer and (2) explore modifiable preparedness factors, such as communication and support. Data was derived from a baseline questionnaire collected in specialized home care. The questionnaire included socio-demographics, the Preparedness for Caregiving Scale, and single items ad…
Supporting preservice teachers to transition to university through a purposely structured Health and Physical Education subject
Transitioning to university can be challenging for many first-year students. This study focusses on a Health and Physical Education (HPE) subject delivered at an Australian regional university and designed to support first-year preservice teachers training to teach in primary schools. The aim of this mixed-methods research was to investigate if a purposely structured first-year HPE subject could support primary preservice teachers’ confidence to …
Balancing the interaction between urban regeneration and flood risk management – A cost benefit approach in Ústí nad Labem
Urban areas are hot spots of flood risk due to how urban development concentrates people and assets into hazard prone areas, reinforcing negative externalities on the welfare of urban residents. Mitigating flood risk in urban environments, however, is challenging. This is not only because the process generating flood risk is complex, but the objectives of city planners, residents and/or developers are also multi-faceted. Therefore, there are vari…
Pre-pregnancy maternal BMI classification is associated with preschool childhood diet quality and childhood obesity in the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children
Objective: To explore the effect of maternal BMI class pre-pregnancy (overweight/obese v . healthy weight/underweight) on childhood diet quality and on childhood overweight/obesity risk. Design: Dietary data were collected using 3-d parental-completed food records for their children at ages 18 and 43 months. An index of diet quality was derived by classification of food items into core and non-core foods. Adjusted multiple linear regression analy…
Preferences of vulnerable social groups for ecosystem-based adaptation to flood risk in Central Vietnam
Developing countries are increasingly impacted by floods, especially in Asia. Traditional flood risk management, using structural measures such as levees, can have negative impacts on the livelihoods of social groups that are more vulnerable. Ecosystem-based adaptation (EbA) provides a complementary approach that is potentially more inclusive of groups that are commonly described as more vulnerable, such as the poor and women. However, there is a…
An assessment of best practices of extreme weather insurance and directions for a more resilient society
Extreme weather resilience has been defined as being based on three pillars: resistance (the ability to lower impacts), recovery (the ability to bounce back), and adaptive capacity (the ability to learn and improve). These resilience pillars are important both before and after the occurrence of extreme weather events. Extreme weather insurance can influence these pillars of resilience depending on how particular insurance mechanisms are structure…
The challenges of longitudinal surveys in the flood risk domain
There has been much research regarding the perceptions, preferences, behaviour, and responses of people exposed to flooding and other natural hazards. Cross-sectional surveys have been the predominant method applied in such research. While cross-sectional data can provide a snapshot of a respondent’s behaviour and perceptions, it cannot be assumed that the respondent’s perceptions are constant over time. As a result, many important research quest…

Let's Talk About Rick Turner
This article discusses aspects of Rick Turner’s life and thought based on the author’s relationship with Turner in the 1970s. It weaves together an apercu into Turner as a person with a reflection on where Turner stood in the intellectual milieu of South African in the 1970s. His basic orientation in philosophy was a commitment to the self-transcending subject of Sartre, and this is discussed in relation to The Eye of the Needle, psychoanalysis a…

Liberalism, Colonialism and National Democracy
This article compares and contrasts liberal democracy and national democracy. It attempts this by focusing on each of these as specific state forms with an effectivity or 'tilt' of their own which includes a determinate preconstruction of the category of the People. It is argued, inter alia, that internal to national democracy is a conception of colonialism (and anti-colonialism) and that the national-racial reference is thus internal to the nati…
The state and the colonial unconscious
In this article, Fanon’s concept of the colonial unconscious – introduced in Black Skin, White Masks (Fanon 1968 Fanon, F. 1968. Black Skin, White Masks, London: Paladin. [Google Scholar]) – is used to clarify the post-1994 political conjuncture in South Africa; in particular, unconscious forms of resistance against the National Democratic Revolution (NDR). Fanon’s concept of colonialism is first outlined and developed before his concept of the c…
Chinese Teaching English as a Foreign Language (Tefl) academics' perceptions about research in a transitional culture
Research capacity building has become a prominent theme in higher education institutions in China and across the world. However, Chinese Teaching English as a Foreign Language academics' research output has been quite limited. In order to build their research capacity, it is necessary to understand their perceptions about research. This case study presents the perceptions about research of six Chinese Teaching English as a Foreign Language academ…
Sound Continuing Bonds with the Deceased
This study examines music's relevance, including preloss music therapy, for 8 informal caregivers of people who died from cancer. The design was informed by constructivist grounded theory and included semistructured interviews. Bereaved caregivers were supported or occasionally challenged as their musical lives enabled a connection with the deceased. Music was often still used to improve mood and sometimes used to confront grief. Specific music, …

Liberalism, democracy and transformation in South Africa
This article examines the role of liberal individualist and collectivist conceptions of the good in the politics of transformation in contemporary South Africa. The argument is advanced that the transformation project of the ruling party, the African National Congress, embodies a conception of the latter sort and thus exceeds the theoretical vocabulary of liberal individualism

Edge of Empire
Aspects of transnationalism and identity in the period from the 1860s to the mid 1920s, which set in motion a form of globalization related to empire, are focused upon. The notion of 'regimes of representation' is adapted as a broad conceptual framework for exploring the role of colonial directories in establishing the identity of metropolitan commercial culture in Wellington, New Zealand. This outpost of empire is examined through a detailed ana…
English Emigration, Kinship and the Recruitment Process
There are still comparatively few investigations which look, in detail, at who the rural English emigrants of the nineteenth century were, the villages and communities they came from, and the rural kinship and recruitment networks which supported their decision. Deficiencies in the published statistical returns, and the fact that good historical data about the English is mainly concerned with the first half of the nineteenth century, have not hel…

Proletarian experience, class interest and discourse
This article examines the current debate in marxist theory between, on the one hand, the discourse‐theoretical approach developed in particular by E Laclau and C Mouffe, and, on the other, the recent defence of classical class theory and critique of the approach of Laclau and Mouffe developed by E Wood. It argues that whilst Wood's critique of Laclau and Mouffe amounts, ultimately, to little more than a regress to assumptions and theses they have…
