Beyond Bologna? Infrastructuring quality in European higher education
Applying qualitative methods, this paper examines the burgeoning of quality assurance databases, processes and networks of actors in the field of higher education in Europe. Our main argument is that there has been a move from the Bologna Process being the near singular focus for European-level coordination and harmonisation of higher education, towards the making of a much more diverse and complex quality assurance and evaluation infrastructure.…
Giving back and the moral logics of economic relations
This paper uses David Graeber's work on the moral grounds of economic relations as a vantage point from which to reflect on the ethics of giving back in field research, drawing on my own fieldwork experiences in Sierra Leone and Sri Lanka as well as examples from existing literature. I argue that Graeber's exposition of different moral logics for economic relations - hierarchy, exchange and communism - provides a valuable set of conceptual distin…
While Shepherds Watched their Flocks by Night
Why has one carol above all others become the most widely sung lyric in English vernacular carolling traditions during the last three centuries? What is it about the simple balladic structure that has endeared this narrative of the birth of Jesus Christ to generations of carollers? By what means did these words become so widely circulated and how has their popularity been sustained? Why have the singers/musicians been inspired to create and recre…

The limits on critical voice in conflict-affected universities
This article explores key factors that can impact upon the ability of post-war universities to engage in open debates and acts of critical voice, drawing on semi-structured interviews conducted in universities in Sierra Leone and Sri Lanka. The main factors identified relate to the entanglement of universities with political forces, academic networks and associated practices of social sanctioning, and the social histories of university communitie…
Degrees of peace
This paper examines the impacts of conflicts on universities and considers the corresponding implications for their ability to contribute to post-war recovery. Pushing against the methodological individualism associated with notions of human capital loss, I concentrate on the interaction between conflict and the social constitution of universities. I argue that the ways in which universities as social groups embody experiences of conflict can pow…
Peace o’er the World’
The current traditions of Christmas carolling in the Derbyshire Peak District were well established by the end of the eighteenth century. The main centre of activity was and is the Hope Valley with its several settlements based on upland farming, small-scale industries, quarrying, and mineral extraction. These communities nurtured distinctive repertoires of local carols over two centuries and through into the twenty-first century. The research in…
Brief interventions to prevent excessive alcohol use in adolescents at low-risk presenting to Emergency Departments
While drinking levels remained low in this population, this trial found no evidence that PFBA with or without eBI was more effective than screening alone in reducing or delaying alcohol consumption

The Travesti Critique of the Gender Identity Law in Argentina
This article reviews the immediate travesti critique of the Argentine Gender Identity Law (law 26,743) in May 2012. Based on what was developed by Marlene Wayar, as an example of sudaca criticism and internal blasphemy, the travesti critique points out that the law does not recognize the specificity of the transvestite identity or its patent inequality, and it reintroduces the binary man/woman categories because it is capable of sanctioning only …

Advice given by NHS Direct in Wales
BACKGROUND: In the UK, National Health Service Direct Wales (NHSDW) uses computerised decision support software to advise patients on appropriate care. However, the effect of deprivation on the advice given is not known. We aimed to estimate the effect of deprivation on advice given by nurses in NHSDW adjusting for confounding variables. METHODS: We included 400 000 calls to NHSDW between January 2002 and June 2004. We used logistic regression to…

Art and Archaeology
Towards an Ethics of Oblivion and Forgetting
The archaeological endeavor is founded on a belief that the revelation of the past through discovery, documentation, interpretation and, at times, preservation is a categorical imperative—that there is an ethical obligation to preserve the past for future generations. Through sampling, the processing of artifacts, laboratory work and survey, the hope is to create knowledge or at least preserve future possibilities for better or different knowledg…
Art and archaeology. A modern allegory
Following the recent discussion of excavation in Archaeological dialogues (18(1)), Rodney Harrison's questioning of the viability of excavation and depth as viable tropes for conceptualizing and communicating archaeology's epistemological processes is both timely and pertinent. Beginning where Harrison finished, his use of Anselm Kiefer's artistic work as a 'framing' device, brings me to some intriguing critical trajectories for understanding arc…
P08 Cancer of oesophagus or gastricus—new assessment of technology of endosonography
Objectives Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is recommended for staging gastro-oesophageal cancers but has never been rigorously evaluated. This trial assessed whether EUS, when added to usual staging tests: changes treatment; improves survival and quality of life; and uses resources cost-effectively. Methods We conducted a pragmatic randomised trial in eight centres. As 80% of participants came from two centres, we combined the other centres for analy…
A Study of the Carers Strategy (2000)
The Carers Strategies in England and Wales herald opportunities to develop new ways to support carers. This paper reports findings from a five-year study looking at the Carers Strategy in Wales. It presents interview data arising from fieldwork with carers and statutory and voluntary sector staff. Our findings highlight a gap between the positive perceptions of staff concerning improvements in the availability and types of support to carers and c…

Visualizing Archaeologies
Is archaeology a science? Is archaeology a humanity? What are the politics of spectatorship and archaeological representation? These initial thoughts form the basis for our archaeological explorations. Within current archaeological discourse, there are a growing number of requests for expressions, which illuminate and expose the interpretive and artistic qualities of presentation and narration. Yet few scholars actively utilize expressive practic…

In their Own Right
Successive legislation has underscored the importance of assessments that are sensitive to the needs of carers and take into account their ability and willingness to continue caring. This paper synthesizes qualitative and quantitative findings from a continuing programme of carer-related research that began in 1993 and has continued in parallel with legislative changes. It considers the process and characteristics of carer assessment from the per…
Working with Tradition
This paper explores the interaction between fieldworker and “tradition bearer” over an extended period of time, in the context of an ethnographic study of singing traditions in the southern Pennines of England. Using examples, it examines the negative as well as the positive aspects of the exchange, with particular emphasis on mutuality and reciprocity. It charts the development of key relationships and the ways in which they have come to maturit…
Evaluating Innovations in the Delivery and Organization of Endoscopy Services in England and Wales
This article presents four focus groups conducted with health professionals, part of a mixed-method evaluation of modernization of endoscopy services in England catalyzed by the UK National Health Service Modernisation Agency. Transcripts were analyzed adapting van Manen's "sententious" or "wholistic" approach to thematic analysis. Seven analysts worked to distil lengthy transcripts into summative paragraphs to capture the essentiality of text. F…

In Comes I, Brut King
THE INFLUENCE OF MASS MEDIA on traditional cultural forms has been regularly singled out in folklore scholarship as a destructive and negative force. For example, folksong in England is generally considered to be in a state of decline that has been rapidly accelerated during the last 200 years, initially by the proliferation of broadside material and latterly by the current evils of radio, phonograph, and television. However, recent research in t…

The SF36 health survey questionnaire
OBJECTIVE--To assess the validity, reliability, and acceptability of the short form 36 (SF 36) health survey questionnaire (a shortened version of a battery of 149 health status questions) as a measure of patient outcome in a broad sample of patients suffering from four common clinical conditions. DESIGN--Postal questionnaire, followed up by two reminders at two week intervals. SETTING--Clinics and four training practices in north east Scotland. …
A New Approach to the Measurement of Quality of Life
Quality of life has been defined as "the extent to which our hopes and ambitions are matched by experience." To improve a patient's quality of life through medical care would be to "narrow the gap between a patient's hopes and expectations and what actually happens." Using the above definition as a conceptual basis, we produced a self-administered, Patient-Generated Index (PGI) of quality of life. The PGI was completed by 359 patients presenting …

The hunt's up? Rural community, song, and politics
Recently in Britain a proposal to ban hunting with dogs has caused a political furore. A fever pitch has been reached with the impending prospect of legislation under the new Labour Government. (Twice previously legislation has been brought before Parliament, but has failed to become law.) Among communities, the polarisation of popular opinion into pro- and anti-hunting pressure groups, led, in June 1998, to the formation of the Countryside Allia…

Images, Representations and Heritage
Recent archaeological theory has show that images of the past have carried a particularly strong resonance within modern social groups. This volume explores the immeasurable impact that the phenomenon of archaeology has had on the representation of the past in the modern world. Modern society’s ‘archaeological imagination’ conceives of archaeology as a producer of images of the past which become representations of modern group identities. If arch…

Freud and Volkan
Social groupings create material cultures and material objects reflect and maintain group identities. The author explores the role of psychoanalysis in examining and explaining the origins and the need for these identities - and their material symbols - in the mind. He then shows that modern archaeology itself needs psychoanalysing: as a purveyor of culture, it is in the business of creating or reinforcing modern identities
