Despite growing investment in restoration, weak accountability and poor biodiversity monitoring mean many projects fail to achieve ecological recovery. The Global Biodiversity Standard (TGBS) offers a practical way to ensure that restoration finance delivers measurable gains for nature. By providing independent, site-based verification and engaging local experts, TGBS builds trust, transparency and equity in restoration practice. Its adoption cou…

Collaboration of health and education sectors drives equity for children with complex disabilities in China
Medical professionals often find it challenging to assess children having both complex disabilities and visual impairment, which may lead to excluding such children from educational programs and limiting their full participation in family and community activities. Identification and assessment of these children are essential to close this exclusion gap. A five-year project in Shanxi province, China, provided comprehensive training to eye health p…

Promoting healthy foods among urban school children in Bangladesh
There were many challenges to promoting healthy foods to school children within and outside the school. It is important to formulate policies and guidance to create a supportive environment for healthy foods in and in the proximity of schools. It is also important to educate consumers about identifying and choosing healthy foods. Laws related to food safety should be adequately implemented to boost the population's confidence in safety of availab…

Hillforts and Hut Groups of North-West Wales
An outline of types and dating of hillforts in north-west Wales is presented together with the types and location of contemporary, undefended settlement and their fields and enclosures. The relationship between hillfort and settlement distribution and the varied types of fields and enclosures is interpreted as showing patterns of territory largely determined by an economy based on a mix of upland stock raising and lowland arable farming within th…
Archaeological and environmental investigation of three prehistoric field systems in Gwynedd, north-west Wales
Cwm Cilio: Field system from the north-west Prehistoric field systems are, by their nature, extensive and often slight and intangible structures, most easily recognized when they are enclosed by walled, banked or ditched boundaries. The effects of many centuries of subsequent land use mean that many have been destroyed and those that remain complete and unmodified are of great archaeological value. This is the case even in north-west Wales, despi…

The Chaldean Account of Genesis
The Assyriologist George Smith (1840–76) was trained originally as an engraver, but was enthralled by the discoveries of Layard and Rawlinson. He taught himself cuneiform script, and joined the British Museum as a 'repairer' or matcher of broken cuneiform tablets. Promotion followed, and after one of Smith's most significant discoveries among the material sent to the Museum - a Babylonian story of a great flood - he was sent to the Middle East, w…

Measuring Multiple Deprivation at the Small-Area Level
Indices to measure deprivation at a small-area level have been used in the United Kingdom to target regeneration policy for over thirty years. The development of the Indices of Deprivation 2000 for England and comparable indices for Northern Ireland, Wales, and Scotland, involved a fundamental reappraisal and reconceptualisation of small-area level multiple deprivation and its measurement. Multiple deprivation is articulated as an accumulation of…
Thomas S. Kuhn, 1922–1996
Thomas S. Kuhn's singular voice was stilled by cancer on June 17, 1996, some 49 years after his initial encounters with past science had drawn him into a career in the history and philosophy of science. One of the most widely-read and influential academics of the 20th century, Kuhn was educated at Harvard University, where he received an S.B. (summa cum laude) in Physics in 1943 and a Ph.D. in the subject in 1949. He remained there until 1956, fi…
Archaeology and Environment of a Bronze Age Cairn and Prehistoric and Romano-British Field System at Chysauster, Gulval, near Penzance, Cornwall
The project involved the survey and selective excavation of an area of field system adjoining the Romano-British ‘courtyard house’ settlement of Chysauster, near Penzance, Cornwall, supported by soil and pollen studies and by the extensive landscape surveys. The excavation had two main elements: study of the rectilinear field system and excavation of a Bronze Age funerary cairn incorporated in one of the field boundaries. The earliest field syste…
Origins and Destinations - Social Security Claimant Dynamics
This article briefly reviews American and British literature on welfare dynamics and examines the concepts of welfare dependency and 'dependency culture' with particular reference to lone parents. Using UK benefit data sets, the welfare dynamics of lone mothers are examined to explore the extent to which they inform the debates. Evidence from Housing Benefits data show that even over a relatively short time period, there is significant turnover i…
Using Census Data to Predict Income Support Dependency
This article briefly reviews the development of area measures of deprivation. It examines the construction of indices of deprivation and the uses to which such indices are put, particularly in respect of resource allocation. Previous attempts to develop indices have been based on a priori definitions of deprivation (eg the Department of the Environment’s z score and its successor, the 1991 Deprivation Index) and have lacked an empirical base. The…
Brokers and Symbols in American Urban Life
This paper strives for an understanding of an urban system as a whole through an investigation of the role of esthetic expression in everyday life. The research was carried out in New York in 1971 on behalf of Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts. Three ideas are put forward: 1) the usefulness of a neo-Redfield model understanding the and social processes of the city; 2) the importance of esthetic expression as an aspect of human relations, one…
Beliefs in statements labeled fact and rumor
Thirteen pro-Russian and 13 anti-Russian items were administered, together with an attitude scale, to university students. In one form the items were labeled confirmed facts; in another, rumors; and in a third form there was no label. Students indicated degree of belief in each item on a 4-point scale. The fact label produced greater shift in belief than did the rumor label, but scepticism prevailed under all conditions. Existing attitudes toward…

What Difference Does History of Science Make, Anyway
This essay opens up the question of what difference the history of science makes. What is the value of the history of science, beyond its role as an academic pursuit that we historians of science know and love? It introduces the set of essays that follow as explorations that grew out of a seminar on this topic and that arise from the authors' particular concerns both that historians of science do not work hard enough to make their work of value a…
The Spread of Disability Living Allowance
This article examines the spread of Disability Living Allowance across a group of low income households in an industrial town in North West England from the introduction of the new benefits in 1992 until the Spring of 1996. We focus on the changes over time of the incidence of Disability Living Allowance in the low income population and look at the relative spread of different elements of the benefit. We speculate on whether the new benefits have…
