Improving wetland management through First Nations’ knowledge and a spatial visualisation tool
As wetlands continue to decline, there is an urgent need to improve their management by following the guidelines of international programs. The Ramsar Convention on Wetlands requires assessing baseline conditions and monitoring, for which Earth Observations are powerful tools. However, spatial and temporal limitations require integrated co-management, incorporating First Nations' Knowledge. We address three case studies with unique management cha…
The duty to secure and the Just war
Rita Floyd’s work on securitisation and the just war is original and creative, but the version of the just war she employs – the analytical approach to just war theory – limits the applicability of her ideas
An educated society is an ideas‐informed society
The term ‘ideas‐informed society’ describes democracies in which citizens believe in the value of staying well‐informed and up‐to‐date with current affairs. They also put these beliefs into action: critically engaging with new ideas and perspectives, delving into scientific discoveries or emerging technologies and exploring aspects of history and culture. Likewise, they stay abreast of political, economic and health‐related events, new products, …

Water Management on the U.S.-Mexico Border
Shortly after being confirmed by the U.S. Senate in 2021, Commissioner Maria Elena Giner called for input into issues of importance to the U.S. Section of the International Boundary and Water Commission (USIBWC). Responding to her call, a group of border scholars committed to producing a white paper entitled “Water Management on the U.S.-Mexico Border: Achieving Water Sustainability and Resilience through Cross-Border Cooperation”. This document …
The Future of Veteran Community Engagement
Veteran communities including veterans, their families, and their caregivers are vital collaborators in the field of veterans studies. Veteran community engaged research (CEnR) generates findings that are impactful and applicable to target populations. Veteran CEnR is a valuable emerging methodological approach. In the two decades since 9/11, clinical and health services researchers have increasingly prioritized participatory veteran research des…
Returning to Leisure Activity Post-Stroke
Physical difficulties and lack of energy are problematic for stroke and TIA survivors who want to return to or participate in leisure activity. Healthcare support alone cannot overcome all practical and emotional issues related to leisure activity engagement. Family support and improving well-being are important facilitators and future research should explore these mechanisms further
The securitization of Post-9/11 reception patterns of refugees, asylum seekers, and migrants
In the aftermath of 11 September 2001 attack, there was increased security concern in relation to border entry of refugee claimants. Subsequent to this event, several new measures were implemented to enhance the control mechanisms to reduce the threat of terrorism. In light of the close link between refugee and security concerns, especially in relation to the fear of terrorism, this paper examines the consequences of 9/11 on the conceptualization…
Forceful or Funny? Audience Interpretations of Narrative Persuasion in Satirical Entertainment Media
It has been established that narrative entertainment messages have the power to produce persuasive outcomes in audiences, but the specific message components that influence audience responses are not well understood. The current study uses focus groups to explore audience interpretations of meaning, perceptions of persuasive intent, and perceptions of the source of a persuasive message in response to a satirical narrative with an environmental th…
Critical Transitions from Pastoralism to Ranching in Central Africa
The goal of this paper is to explain why and how increasing commoditization and incorporation in the market economy are only now leading to a critical transition from pastoralism to ranching in Central Africa. While there are similarities between pastoralism and capitalism-in both systems, entrepreneurs are strategically maximizing their "stock"-there are also differences. We argue that these differences can be understood as two distinct types of…

Race and the Senses
In Race and the Senses, Sachi Sekimoto and Christopher Brown explore the sensorial and phenomenological materiality of race as it is felt and sensed by the racialized subjects. Situating the lived body as an active, affective, and sensing participant in racialized realities, they argue that race is not simply marked on our bodies, but rather felt and registered through our senses. They illuminate the sensorial landscape of racialized world by com…
By introducing my culture to someone else, I learnt to understand it again somehow’
As the first indigenous woman to achieve prominence as a filmmaker in Taiwan, Laha Mebow occupies an important place in the island’s film culture. Her first feature, 'Finding Sayun' (2011), depicts a village community from Mebow’s own tribe, the Atayal, offering a contemporary response to the 1943 Japanese propaganda movie 'Sayon's Bell'. Her second feature, 'Lokah Laqi' (2016), explores the troubled backgrounds of a group of kids growing up in a…
A History of the African American NovelAfrican American Writing
The particular brand of recuperative and archival work done by Saidiya Hartman, Fred Moten, Christina Sharpe, Frank B. Wilderson III, and others over the last twenty years has reshaped the landscape of African American literary criticism, clarifying that, in its many disciplinary genres, the field has long been propelled by the profound psychic consequences of antiblackness, whether in its archival or political or aesthetic dimensions. However, n…
Are mega-events a solution to address physical inactivity? Interrogating the London 2012 Paralympic sport participation legacies among people with disabilities

Bell on Trial
In June 1498, the Florentine government publicly punished and exiled the Piagnona, the lone bell of the church of San Marco, for its role in defending Girolamo Savonarola during the April siege that led to the preacher's execution. Drawing on new evidence, this essay offers the most complete account of this still poorly understood chapter in Renaissance history, examining its complex and conflicting motives. At the same time, the punishment of th…
“The Legacy Element . . . It Just Felt More Woolly”
This article explores why sports participation of people with disabilities in England has declined since the London 2012 Paralympic Games (LPG). Thirty semistructured interviews were conducted with staff employed in a variety of sports and disability-specific organizations. Our preliminary findings suggest that the decline is a result of a complex interplay between multiple factors. A competency gap and a lack of relevance between Paralympians an…

Does income distribution matter for effective demand? Evidence from the United States
This article examines the influence of income distribution in the determination of effective demand in the US. A simple model is developed to simulate the effects of changing income inequality on the aggregate propensity to consume. The simulation results illustrate that income inequality has a substantial negative impact on consumption when household spending is assumed to be income-constrained. Econometric evidence is presented that rising priv…

Scale and Subnational Resource Management
Transboundary water resources are very challenging to manage, generating numerous unresolved management issues. North America possesses two different spatial contexts in which transboundary water resource management issues exist, the arid U.S.-Mexico border region and the humid U.S.-Canada border region. Past work on the U.S.-Mexico border has explored a range of institutional arrangements by which resources are managed, with a special focus on b…
The Quantification of Microwear on Chipped Stone Tools
Although considerable progress has been made by archaeologists and materials scientists toward the development of a method to quantitatively document use-wear on stone tool surfaces, experimentation and refinement of methods continue. The experimental program tests root mean square roughness (rms or Rq) of measured profiles for their ability to quantitatively discriminate the surface textures, or roughness, of experimental stone tools used on fiv…

The first is only two lines long, but the second is the most extensive piece of Anacreon that we possess.

Declining Marriage Ratios of Young Black Women
Modeled in the choicetheoretic framework favored by economists, a mar-riage results when two parties have determined that marriage to the other is pre-ferred to the alternatives. A secular rise in the proportion of young adults living outside the institution of marriage (interpreted as a market-clearing phenome-non) is therefore explained by a corresponding reduction in welfare-improving marriage opportunities for this population. Such a trend is…
New directions in binational water resource management in the U.S.-Mexico borderlands
The onset of the 21st century sees the U.S.-Mexico border facing numerous challenges in meeting demand for water resources across a diverse set of interests, while also protecting water quality and providing for in-stream uses. This chapter surveys ongoing water resource management efforts in the border region and also examines a broad transboundary water resource management literature to identify existing innovations of note and also to offer id…
The Voluntary Side of a Welfare ‘Partnership’
Renewed political interest in reducing government expenditure in social welfare has often influenced the balance of government and voluntary sector involvement in what is sometimes called a welfare ‘partnership’. Governments seek to extend their planning and monitoring role whilst encouraging voluntary organisations to expand their capacity to deliver services. Similar trends are signalled in the Queensland Government policy papers on family welf…

Ruined by lust
We generally think of the poetry of Anacreon as coming from an entirely different world from that of the iambists, but among the extant fragments there is some indication to the contrary. With fr. 44 Gentili = 432 PMG iamb. 5 West, an epodic passage, we find Anacreon closest in form to the iambists. Here is the text with the full context from the Etymologicum Magnum (p. 523. 4; after West): τò δ κνύςα ώς λÉγι ‘Hgr;ρωδιανòς ν τ καθολικ (1. 251. 7,…
Social Work and Disadvantage
[Is there something distinct about the way in which social workers develop, analyse and apply certain knowledge to their day-to-day practice? One critical area of social work knowledge variously referred to as 'social problems', 'social welfare problems' or 'disadvantage' could be usefully subjected to more systematic analysis. Two approa ches to this task are discussed: the first built around the concept of social welfare problems; the second ar…

New Disability Services
Australian disability services have undergone a major review. Initiated by the government and now enshrined in new legislation, this review has significant implications for non-government social welfare organisations as major service providers in that it demands a significant service delivery reorientation. This paper describes one demonstration project involving four physically disabled persons, one female and three males, located in one domicil…
The Myth of Consumer Participation in Disability Services
There are many hindrances to consumer participation in the planning and management of disability services. Consumer perspectives, preferences and felt-needs are not always taken into account by those providing the necessary services. As one important group involved in social care, social workers are committed to extend the process where consumer needs and perspectives are incorporated in the planning and management of services. The Commonwealth G…

Evidence of marked sexual behavior change associated with low HIV-1 seroconversion in 149 married couples with discordant HIV-1 serostatus
To determine the effect of an HIV-1 counselling program on 149 married Zairian couples with discordant HIV-1 serology, the rates of HIV-1 seroconversion and reported condom utilization have been observed during 382.4 person-years of follow-up (minimum follow-up time per couple of 6 months). Before determination of HIV-1 serostatus and counselling, less than 5% of these couples had ever used a condom. One month after notification of HIV-1 serostat…
Hermeneutics and the Social Sciences
This paper explicates the hermeneutic procedure utilized in the development and interpretation of a questionnaire for consumers with a disability regarding their perspectives on the accessibility and quality of human services they are using. It finds that consumers experience difficulty in bringing into language their critique of existing services. The paper argues the value of a hermeneutic methodology in the social sciences and its usefulness i…

Geographic information system (GIS) characterization of metal loading in the binational Tijuana River watershed
This paper describes a geographic information system (GIS)‐based, land use runoff model that estimates the annual mass emission of copper (Cu), lead (Pb), and zinc (Zn) from the binational Tijuana River watershed (TRW). This model estimates that the urbanized portion of the City of Tijuana, Mexico, accounted for 37 to 47 percent of the actual downstream loading of these metals to the Tijuana Estuary and coastal ocean. The fraction of loading cont…

Quantification of Dental Microwear by Tandem Scanning Confocal Microscopy and Scale‐Sensitive Fractal Analyses
Dental microwear analysis is among the most commonly used approaches to reconstructing the diets of extinct animal species and past peoples. The usual procedure involves imaging tooth wear surfaces by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Surfaces are characterized quantitatively by measurement of individual wear features (pits and scratches) on photomicrographs. Recent studies of living animals have shown associations between diets on one hand and…
