Researcher identities and values in the impact agenda
A major shift in the research sector has been the increased expectation from policymakers and funders that academic research should yield some socioeconomic benefits or ‘impacts’ rather than merely new knowledge. In this paper, we explore the role that impact has in academics’ motivations and values and how impact is being integrated into academics’ core functions of research and education. We do this through in-depth interviews ( n = 60) with sc…

Keys to the city
Considering the ways in which class and space inform the varied experiences of Black people is essential to a more complete understanding of the African reality. Situating these constructs within the context of the Black Intellectual Tradition sheds light on the history of scholars who, for decades, have encouraged this analysis. Starting with Du Bois, this study pays homage to and continues the work of analyzing race and class in Black spaces. R…
Black Mecca Dilemmas
This introductory article situates the papers in our special issue within the broader framework of the contradictory yet important concept of the Black Mecca. Broadly defined, a city or place considered a Black Mecca is characterized as one with a dominant Black constituency that is influential in the local social, cultural, economic, and political realms. Some of these spaces are economically poor but remain epicenters of cultural innovation. Ot…

Using Policy Labs as a process to bring evidence closer to public policymaking
While robust evidence is one ingredient in the policymaking process, it is by no means the only one. Engaging with policymakers and the policymaking process requires collaborative working models, navigating through the experiences, values and perspectives of policymakers and other stakeholders, as well as communicating evidence in an accessible manner. As a response to these requirements, over recent years there has been proliferation of activiti…

The Evita framework for evidence-based mental health policy agenda setting in low- and middle-income countries
The burden of mental illness is excessive, but many countries lack evidence-based policies to improve practice. Mental health research evidence translation into policymaking is a ‘wicked problem’, often failing despite a robust evidence base. In a recent systematic review, we identified a gap in frameworks on agenda setting and actionability, and pragmatic, effective tools to guide action to link research and policy are needed. Responding to this…
Saheed Aderinto. Guns and Society in Colonial Nigeria
The tremendous flow of firearms into Africa over the centuries has garnered a fair share of scholarly attention. Many of these studies have focused on either the precolonial period, with the connection of the gun trade with the slave trade, or the more contemporary era since independence. Saheed Aderinto’s new book Guns and Society in Colonial Nigeria: Firearms, Culture, and Public Order draws attention to the hitherto overlooked colonial period …
Between Depression and Disarmament
This business history analyzes the connections between private business, disarmament, and re-armament as they affected arms procurement and military technology transfers in Eastern Europe from 1919 to 1939. Rather than focusing on the negotiations or the political problems involved with the Disarmament Conferences, this study concerns itself with the business effects of the disarmament discussions. Accordingly, Schneider-Creusot, Å koda, Vickers,…

Comparative Performance of Adult Social Care Research, 1996–2011
Decision makers in adult social care are increasingly interested in using evidence from research to support or shape their decisions. The scope and nature of the current landscape of adult social care research (ASCR) need to be better understood. This paper provides a bibliometric assessment of ASCR outputs from 1996 to 2011. ASCR papers were retrieved using three strategies: from key journals; using keywords and noun phrases; and from additional…

The answer is 17 years, what is the question
This study aimed to review the literature describing and quantifying time lags in the health research translation process. Papers were included in the review if they quantified time lags in the development of health interventions. The study identified 23 papers. Few were comparable as different studies use different measures, of different things, at different time points. We concluded that the current state of knowledge of time lags is of limited…
Crossing the Eastern Divide
This article approaches the question of what constitutes Western civilization and its relationship with Islam from the vantage point of two thinkers from outside Western Europe, Peter Chaadaev and Ziya Gokalp. Chaadaev was an Orthodox Christian from nineteenth‐century Russia and Gokalp was a Muslim from the Ottoman Empire in the early twentieth century. Starting from very different premises and arguing along completely different lines, both men j…

Does inbreeding lead to decreased human fertility
In most Western countries there is a widespread belief, fostered in part by historical prejudice and religious proscription, that inbreeding in human populations causes a reduction in fertility. Support for this belief has been claimed in HLA-based studies, with increased rates of fetal losses suggested in HLA-compatible unions. To critically assess the overall status of fertility in consanguineous unions, data on 30 populations resident in six c…

Consanguineous marriage within social/occupational class boundaries in Pakistan
Data on patterns of consanguineous marriage were collected from 5340 families resident in eight cities in the Pakistan province of Punjab. To assess whether social and/or occupational class was interacting with con-sanguinity, information also was obtained on the hereditary qaum to which each family belonged. In the present generation 46·5% of all marriages were contracted at the level of second cousin or closer, with an average coefficient of in…

A Demographic and Health Survey of Spanish Female Sex Workers
In order to examine the prevalence of HIV infection and associated risk factors amongst Spanish female prostitutes a multicentre (n = 22) cross-sectional study was conducted between November 1989 and January 1991. Data collected included socioeconomic characteristics, sexual behavior and health status together with blood samples. A total of 1633 prostitutes were recruited into the study. Of these, 1433 (87.8%) consented to blood samples being tak…
