Co-design of a digital health intervention to provide pharmacy-based, person-centered contraceptive decision support for youth in Kenya
Adolescent girls and young women (AGYW; age 15–24 years) face intersectional barriers to undesired pregnancy prevention, with profound health consequences. Community pharmacies remain a relatively untapped opportunity to improve the reach and quality of contraceptive care for youth. The purpose of this study was to co-design and prototype a digital health, person-centered contraceptive decision support application (the Mara Divas App) tailored fo…
An African Art Re-Discovered
Antique swords from the pre-colonial West African kingdom of Dahomey are aesthetically unique, but they also have many design features inspired by swords from Europe, the Islamic world and elsewhere. As the kingdom was famous for importing luxury European objects, this study aimed to pinpoint evidence of Dahomean sword composition and manufacture to determine scientifically whether they were being made in Dahomey, or imported. An inter-disciplina…
Dance Your Way Home
‘It felt very underground’
This article examines the concept of the term underground and its association with a range of dance music parties and venues that emerged in Liverpool, UK between 2008 and 2023. Drawing on a critical review of literature relating to the term, underground is positioned as a cultural signifier exhibiting three core characteristics: (1) as secretive resistance; (2) as a countercultural antithesis to mainstream; and (3) as a social imaginary. Using e…
Two Kings
This article presents a biography and multi-generational microhistory of Nathaniel King (1847–1884), the University of Aberdeen’s first African-born student and a pioneering practitioner of Western medicine in colonial West Africa. Nathaniel’s father, Thomas King, rose from slavery to become a missionary and linguist in Sierra Leone and what would later become Nigeria. Nathaniel, born to survivors of the Middle Passage, graduated M.B., C.M. from …

This unique and rich collection of narratives, written or dictated by formerly enslaved Africans between 1820 and 1876, offers a rare snapshot of African voices in the history of slavery.Including narratives from the Atlantic and Indian Ocean trades, as well as testimonies from enslaved people who never left the African continent, it expands the chronological and geographical scope of known accounts of enslavement, highlights the few but importan…
Playing Out
Drawing on the findings of practitioner group consultations (n=49) and an online survey of music makers (n=37), this article illustrates the devastating impact of 18 months without full-capacity live events on the financial, musical and social wellbeing of the Liverpool City Region’s (LCR) music sector. The analysis shows how uncertainties concerning a return to normal operations, access to funding support, working within socially distanced limit…
Neighbourhood effects on psychotic and depressive symptoms in the context of religious sectarianism in Northern Ireland
BACKGROUND: The incidence of psychotic disorders is higher in ethnic minorities groups. The 'ethnic density effect', in which living in a neighbourhood with a low own-group proportion increases the risk of psychosis, is one explanatory factor. The density effect in the ethno-religious and sectarian context of Northern Ireland has been found to be reversed, particularly for Catholics, in which there is harmful effect of high own-group density area…

Marine protected and conserved areas in the time of Covid
The intersection of potential global targets and commitments for ocean conservation with the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 has resulted in an opportunity to rethink the future of marine area-based conservation tools, particularly for marine protected and conserved areas (MPCAs). As MPCAs continue to provide essential ecological, social and economic services, current approaches to establishing and managing these areas require an understanding of the f…

Liberated Africans
“Liberated Africans” refers to a group of African-born men, women, and children intercepted by naval forces from slave ships and slave trading factories in the Atlantic and Indian oceans as part of the 19th-century campaign to abolish the transoceanic slave trade from Africa. Following the passage of Britain’s 1807 Act for the Abolition of the Slave Trade, the British Royal Navy patrolled both the Atlantic and Indian oceans in order to suppress t…

Abolition in Sierra Leone
Tracing the lives and experiences of 100,000 Africans who landed in Sierra Leone having been taken off slave vessels by the British Navy following Britain's abolition of the trans-Atlantic slave trade, this study focuses on how people, forcibly removed from their homelands, packed on to slave ships, and settled in Sierra Leone were able to rebuild new lives, communities, and collective identities in an early British colony in West Africa. Their e…

Ginés Garrido, Mélnikov en París, 1925
Reporting on the Soviet Pavilion at the International Exposition of Decorative Arts of 1925 for the Moscow weekly magazine Ogonek, Ilia Ehrenburg registered the range of opinions about Konstantin Melnikov's ephemeral structure circulating in Paris. "Mr. Nouveau-riche" thought it "a glass cage for the red beast." The architect Le Corbusier, the painter Fernand Lger and the poet Pierre Mac Orlan allegedly called it "the only pavilion at the exposit…
The Diaspora of Sierra Leone’s Liberated Africans
Between 1808 and 1863 the British Royal Navy liberated an estimated 164,333 Africans from slave ships in the Atlantic. The largest contingent was the over 99,000 landed at Freetown, Sierra Leone, while smaller numbers were emancipated in courts at St. Helena, Havana, Rio de Janeiro, and Luanda.[2][1
Using African Names to Identify the Origins of Captives in the Transatlantic Slave Trade
Between 1808 and 1862, officers primarily from the British navy liberated approximately 175,000 enslaved Africans from transatlantic slavers. Information on more than half of this group has survived in bound ledger books. Based on the assessment of extant data for more than 92,000 Liberated Africans whose information was copied in at times duplicate and triplicate form in both London- and Freetown-based registers, this essay explores the pitfalls…

Policy Watch
Increased excise taxes on cigarettes and alcohol have been suggested as a means to finance (at least partially) the Clinton administration's proposed program of health care reform. We consider the revenue potential of cigarette and alcohol tax hikes and explore the effects on consumption and related outcomes. We present estimates of the social costs and implied optimal tax rates on cigarettes and alcohol. The bulk of the evidence presented here d…

The Toronto Star Fresh Air Fund
The Toronto Star newspaper began rescuing poor children from the city's hottest, smokiest, and smelliest neighborhoods in 1901. The Fresh Air Fund, like park and playground planning, assumed that proximity to nature modified both health and behavior. Evoking transcendentalism—the idea that providential nature could move humanity into higher forms of existence—the Star sent children to the countryside near Toronto, albeit temporarily, assured of p…

Cognitive determinants of verbal underachievement at secondary school level
Children whose non-verbal cognitive ability markedly exceeds their verbal cognitive ability (discrepant, D group) as measured in cognitive abilities tests (CATs) were compared with non-discrepant children individually matched on either verbal (V group) or non-verbal (NV group) CAT scores. 66 children from year 7 (11/12 years) and 60 from year 10 (14/15 years) were selected on this basis in a semi-rural comprehensive school. The scores of the D an…

The untranslated content of Wundt'sGrundzüge der Physiologischen Psychologie
Limited translation into English has been a major entailment of the loss of awareness of the nature and scope of Wundt's original system of psychology. This is an attempt to analyze the influence of selective translation by calling attention to the untranslated material and by offering the interpretation that Titchener translated from the Grundzüge what was vital to his system of Structuralism.

Confidence Intervals for Elasticity Estimators in Translog Models
This paper examines the distribution fu nctions of elasticity estimators in translog demand models. The authors consider the normaland ratio-of-normals distributions and present confidence intervals for the elasticity estimators. The results suggest that only elasticity estimato rs based on the means of the actual cost shares are likely to follow either the normal or ratio-of-normals distribution function. Examination of three published empirical…

Relations of Coping Style and Illness Variables in Ulcerative Colitis
The relationships of illness variables (demographic, illness-quality, treatment, lifestyle, and interpersonal) to the eight coping styles as measured by the Millon Behavioral Health Inventory were investigated in 38 adult patients with ulcerative colitis, a chronic inflammatory disease of the colon, to identify coping styles important in managing this condition. Patients with ulcerative colitis were studied because this patient group has not demo…

Representations and Requirements
For a number of reasons, systems designers have recently shown considerable interest in ethnography. For the most part, this has been used as a method for the specification of end-user requirements for systems. In this article, I argue that most of this interest is predicated in a misunderstanding of ethnography's role in social science. Instead of focusing on its analytic aspects, designers have defined it as a form of data collection. They have…
