The economic gains from breaking boundaries
Index insurance intended to help low-wealth households manage risk is hampered by downside basis risk, meaning that the insured suffers a loss, but the insurance index fails to signal a loss. Existing index insurance contracts use statistically ad hoc administrative boundaries to demarcate insurance zones. We develop an algorithm that creates zones that maximize lower tail dependence amongst individual units included in each zone. Breaking bounda…
A Tomb for CIL 10.1074 and the Family of Aulus Clodius Flaccus at Pompeii
This paper investigates the history of a lost funerary inscription for the family of Aulus Clodius Flaccus ( CIL 10.1074) and proposes a provenience for the inscription, making the case to locate it on one of the most prominent tombs outside the Porta Nocera at Pompeii. This discussion allows for the detailed reconstruction of the family over several generations, as well as its members social and political importance to the community

Social media use in the context of the Personal Social Media Ecosystem Framework
The rapid proliferation and maturation of social media platforms have led to numerous challenges in understanding the correlates of social media use among users. To advance this research, the present article proposes a new way to think about social media with the Personal Social Media Ecosystem Framework (PSMEF). This perspective defines social media as a user-centric digital environment made up of a central set of individual, yet interrelated di…
Leveraging Ai-Based Interventions to Address Cyberbullying Among Children
One in three Internet users worldwide are children, and yet children are still insufficiently consulted on Internet governance-related matters as well as with respect to safety design decisions in online environments. Following the adoption of the general comment on the application of UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) in digital environments, this article presents the results of empirical research that solicited children’s input on…
A content analysis of aggression in Netflix original, adolescent-directed series’ subtitles
Given the risk for aggression in the media to potentially influence adolescents’ cognitions and behaviors related to aggression, we performed a content analysis to examine the different types of aggression referenced in all subtitles of all episodes of eight Netflix original, adolescent-directed series (as of the end of 2019). Across all series, there was higher number of references to physical aggression and verbal insult, but fewer references t…
A replication and extension of the Personal Social Media Ecosystem Framework
The recently forwarded Personal Social Media Ecosystem Framework (PSMEF) allows researchers to study social media in terms of generalized types of user interfaces. This study formally extended the PSMEF via the Digital User Interface Model and replicated previous work by evidencing the existence of new (e.g., Overtly Algorithmic Content Pages) and validating previously identified types of user interfaces (e.g., Home Pages and Chats/Messages) that…
Effectiveness of Artificial Intelligence-Based Cyberbullying Interventions From Youth Perspective
Cyberbullying on social media continues to pose a significant problem for children and young people, and platforms increasingly rely on artificial intelligence (AI) to address it. Nonetheless, little is known about children's views as to the effectiveness of AI-based interventions; and how these interventions impact their rights to protection, privacy, and freedom of expression, as afforded to them in the United Nations Convention on the Rights o…
Maternal Immune Activation and Interleukin 17A in the Pathogenesis of Autistic Spectrum Disorder and Why It Matters in the Covid-19 Era
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is the commonest neurodevelopmental disability. It is a highly complex disorder with an increasing prevalence and an unclear etiology. Consensus indicates that ASD arises as a genetically modulated, and environmentally influenced condition. Although pathogenic rare genetic variants are detected in around 20% of cases of ASD, no single factor is responsible for the vast majority of ASD cases or that explains their ch…
Byland Abbey
The twelve ghost stories written by a monk at Byland Abbey, North Yorkshire, around 1400 CE have received extensive comment by scholars of medieval ghost stories and the supernatural. Public interpretation of the site, which has been in State care since 1921, has largely focused on the acknowledged importance of Byland's buildings in the development of Cistercian architecture in the British Isles in the late twelfth century. With a strong archite…

The Construction of Value in Science Research Articles
Scholars in the field of writing and rhetorical studies have long been interested in professional writing and the ways in which experts frame their research for disciplinary audiences. Three decades ago, rhetoricians incorporated stasis theory into their work as a way to explore the nature of argument and persuasion in scientific discourse. However, what is missing in these general arguments based on stasis are the particular arguments in science…
Reasons Why, Perceived Norms, and Reports of Mental Health-Related Behavior Change among Adolescent and Young Adult Viewers in Four Global Regions
Media programing addressing controversial topics among youth has grown; however, research has yet to consider the correlates of viewing on a global scale. Using the theory of normative social behavior (TNSB), this study examined perceived norms about mental illness among a sample of 3,520 adolescent and young adult viewers and nonviewers of 13 Reasons Why in Australia/New Zealand, the United Kingdom, the United States, and Brazil. We assessed the…
Emotional disclosures and reciprocal support
Online support forums allow users to seek advice, information, and emotional support on a variety of issues. Today's parents navigate unique stressors both off- and on-line, and online forums can provide parents with the social support they need to address contemporary parenting issues. Research examining social support processes in parenting forums is lacking. This study examines the interpersonal support process within the largest Reddit parent…
Figurations of Digital Practice, Craft, and Agency in Two Mediterranean Fieldwork Projects
Archaeological practice is increasingly enacted within pervasive and invisible digital infrastructures, tools, and services that affect how participants engage in learning and fieldwork, and how evidence, knowledge, and expertise are produced. This article discusses the collective imaginings regarding the present and future of digital archaeological practice held by researchers working in two archaeological projects in the Eastern Mediterranean, …

The English and Welsh Cistercians have long been the focus of scholarly attention. For the most part, the literature is concerned with the early centuries of Cistercian monasticism, a period of gro
Abbots and Aristocrats
This article focuses on the art and architecture of the Cistercian abbey of Hailes, home of a famous relic of the Holy Blood, in the two centuries before the Suppression. It is intended to be a contribution to evolving literature on late medieval monasticism, showing the enduring spiritual vitality and relevance of Hailes between the 14th and early 16th centuries. The article discusses the planning and architecture of the late medieval monastery,…
Dressed in Adjectives, Part 2 the Lowly Adjectives
The second part of Dressed in Adjectives is an exercise in comparison, a comparison between the “elevated” adjectives, smart, elegant, and graceful, that are to be found in part 1 and a number of lowly adjectives that “undo” the valued qualities of these forms of dress. The “unelevated” adjectives chosen to throw light on the nature of these lesser states are scruffy, shabby, awkward, and clumsy. Some, like scruffy and shabby, are so named becaus…
Armorum Studium
In his Apologia (98.7), written about ad 158, Apuleius laments the fact that his former ward, the noble young Sicinius Pudens, has been allowed to abandon his studies and is instead spending his time in taverns and with prostitutes and, worst of all, has become a frequent visitor at the local gladiatorial school. Pudens has come to know all the gladiators’ names, their ‘fights and wounds’, and has even started receiving instruction from the lanis…
Dressed in Adjectives
This essay grew out of Thorstein Veblen’s observations on the struggle the19th century bourgeois had in maintaining an elegant appearance. This lead me to examine how dress adjectives such as such as elegant, smart and graceful play an important role imparting qualities to our varied forms of dress. The essay draws on Roland Barthes’ argument that without text an image would exist in a nameless zone, bereft of meaning. The essay traces the active…
‘It would have pitied any heart to see’
This article is a contribution to the revisionist literature on the monastic orders in late medieval England and their art and architecture. It discusses the visual and material cultures of the Cistercians in northern England in the period immediately before the Dissolution of the Monasteries, demonstrating the enduring popularity of the Order in the late Middle Ages and that patronage of art and architecture continued until the very moment of th…

Gender Socialization and Identity Theory
Gender socialization is examined through a social psychological lens by applying identity theory and identity control theory. Current research from the fields of family and sociological social psychology are surveyed to provide a better conception of how the family operates as agents of socialization, and how identities that are cultivated and fostered in youth provide meaning throughout the life course and maintain the social order. The applicat…
Beyond Race
Theory: The theory of policy particularism attributes the greater popularity of raceneutral policies compared to race-specific policies not to the fact the former only benefit blacks or minorities but to the fact they target only a particular segment of the population. The theory, moreover, points to a neglected distinction-between how a policy is targeted and how it is justified. Applied to race, a policy may be particularistic or race-specific …

Sustainable archaeology through progressive assembly 3D digitization
Three-dimensional object scanning for both diagnostic and collection management has become more accepted within archaeological research over the last few years. However, the ability to scan vast numbers of cultural artefacts effectively has been stunted by the lack of technical expertise, cost of both hardware and software tools, and access to full collections. This article examines the issues related to mass scanning techniques and their potenti…

Stuff and Nonsense
Ever since the late 1950s and early 1960s when Roland Barthes revolutionized our conceptions of dress most scholars have worked with an idea of dress as being a system of social communication, one that was structured like a language. Over time this conception of dress has attained such prominence that alternative ways of comprehending costume have been completely absent.However, the communication model of dress is not as watertight as it may at f…

Teaching Genre to English First-Language Adults
The question of whether written genres can be learned through explicit teaching or can only be acquired implicitly through writing in authentic contexts remains unanswered. The question is complicated by the different parameters associated with teaching genre to first- or second-language learners, to children or adults, in settings in which the genre is authentically used or in settings (such as writing classes) in which genre learning is deconte…
Richard M. Frank
This is the first of a three-volume set which gathers together a lifetime's contribution to the study of Islamic theological reasoning by one of the leading Western authorities. Known to all as Dick Frank, and universally respected and admired, the author of these articles deploys a subtlety of mind and a breadth of scholarly expertise which few can emulate, ranging from the intricacies of logical argument to the polyglot primary and secondary so…
L'étude de l'arabe
Arabic is an important language in several respects, and there is a long history of contact between Muslims and the non-Muslim West which justifies the study of Islamic culture. The relations between the two are briefly described, as a background to the consequences of 19th century imperialism. The paper then examines the dual linguistic status of Arabic, as a language both of revelation and everyday intercourse. The unique rôle of the Islamic Ad…
Allocating funds for HIV/Aids
OBJECTIVE: through a descriptive study, we determined the factors that influence the decision-making process for allocating funds to HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment programmes, and the extent to which formal decision tools are used in the municipality of KwaDukuza, South Africa. METHODS: we conducted 35 key informant interviews in KwaDukuza. The interview questions addressed specific resource allocation issues while allowing respondents to spea…
Cracking the Code
The three copper-gilt and enamel plaques from Warden Abbey are the most important examples of late medieval metalwork from an English Cistercian abbey. They are currently exhibited at the British Museum and dated to the mid-fifteenth century. A reinterpretation of the monograms decorating the plaques allows their patron to be identified as Abbot Walter Clifton ( c 1377–97). An analysis of the plaques’ style and iconography also suggests a late fo…

HIV-related stigma within communities of gay men
While stigma associated with HIV infection is well recognised, there is limited information on the impact of HIV-related stigma between men who have sex with men and within communities of gay men. The consequences of HIV-related stigma can be personal and community-wide, including impacts on mood and emotional well-being, prevention, testing behaviour, and mental and general health. This review of the literature reports a growing division between…

Subsidies and the Persistence of Technology Adoption
We report the results of a randomized experiment testing impacts of subsidies for modern agricultural inputs in rural Mozambique. One-time provision of a voucher for fertilizer and improved seeds leads to substantial increases in fertilizer use, which persist through two subsequent agricultural seasons. Voucher receipt also leads to large, persistent increases in household agricultural production and market sales, per capita consumption, assets, …

Unanswered Prayers
This paper discusses a hitherto overlooked printed missal of Cistercian use at York Minster Library. Deletions to the calendar and text show that it must have been in England during the Reformation. Four manuscript leaves have been bound at the end of the missal; the last leaf has prayers for the pregnancy of Queen Mary i that are known from only one other source. The presence of these prayers raises questions about the continued use of the missa…
