Combined storytelling and mapping approaches for increasing community engagement with woodland creation and expansion projects
Forests and woodlands are important for biodiversity, climate change mitigation and the provision of services including recreation, timber and non‐timber forest products. Land use policies currently aim to increase forest cover while also maximising the benefits of forests for people and improving community engagement with the process of creation, restoration and expansion. However, these initiatives often suffer from a lack of public support bec…
A review of theatre interventions and mental health
BACKGROUND: There is limited knowledge of how theatre interventions have been deployed to address mental health issues in low and middle income countries (LMICs). Our aim was to examine the role of theatre as a research activity and explore the ways in which its research potential had been actualised in the literature, and examine the extent to which authors have addressed LMICs. METHODS: We undertook a scoping review informed by PRISMA guideline…

Controlled comparative tensile tests of backed versus non‐backed edges’ adhesion
Backing is a procedure for retouching a stone tool edge to an angle of or near 90°. Archaeologists have recorded backed lithic specimens in the Pleistocene and Holocene around the world. One prominent hypothesis for the occurrence of backing is that it increases a stone tool's adhesion relative to what it would have otherwise been with unmodified, sharp edges. We conducted a highly controlled semi‐static tensile test in which we assessed lithic s…
Learning to stay silent
In heterosexual relationships, intimate partner violence (IPV) affects both men and women. However, women are more likely than men to seek help. This study used a qualitative approach to describe community perceptions on the coping and help-seeking behavior of male victims of female-perpetrated IPV. Love for their children and wives, and fear of shame, losing property and breaking the law makes men stay in abusive marriages. Avoidance, silence, s…

Public Engagement in Health Policy‐Making for Older Adults
INTRODUCTION: As the world's population ages, there has been increasing attention to developing health policies to support older adults. Engaging older adults in policy-making is one way to ensure that policy decisions align with their needs and priorities. However, ageist stereotypes often underestimate older adults' ability to participate in such initiatives. This scoping review aims to describe the characteristics and impacts of public engagem…
Trends in body image among Australian queer men during Covid-19 lockdowns
Existing literature demonstrates that COVID-19 lockdowns negatively impacted body image for most people. However, the exact nature of body image shifts during lockdowns and the impact sexuality had on these shifts remains understudied. We sought to investigate this phenomenon among queer men – an at-risk population for negative body image. Participants were 268 (Mage = 35.30 years) queer Australian men. They completed measures for lockdown-induce…
North American Clovis Point Form and Performance IV
This study is an assessment of Clovis knife edge effectiveness and wear. This work is the fourth contribution in a series of experiments aimed at shedding light on the functional performance of distinct Clovis “point” forms. Here, we used both edges from 14 replica Clovis point forms in a wood slicing task: the first seven forms represent the average and extremes of observed Clovis points; the second seven represent length-standardized versions. …
North American Clovis Point Form and Performance V
This study is an assessment of Clovis spear thrusting penetration depth and entry wound size. This work is the fifth contribution in a series of experiments aimed at shedding light on the functional performance of distinct Clovis point forms. Here, using highly controlled and standardized procedures, we had a participant who had previously trained with bayonets and hand-to-hand combat thrust seven spears, each tipped with a distinct Clovis point …
Comparing Clovis and Folsom fluting via scaling analysis
This study examines the fluting of two well‐known Late Pleistocene fluted point types in North America: Clovis and Folsom. Using scaling analyses, we assess the changing relationship between flute length and point length in a large sample of each type. Researchers use scaling to investigate the physical constraints of an object and determine how its dimensions change with size. We compare the strength and consistency of the scaling relationships …
Towards a Co-Creative Immersive Digital Storytelling Methodology to Explore Experiences of Homelessness in Loughborough
Despite the potential use of digital storytelling with marginalised groups, there are few examples of its application in homelessness or examinations of co-creative relationships in this context. Along with digital storytelling, this research used immersive media (virtual reality and 360 degree video) to explore place-based social exclusion. In the feasibility study, with four doctoral researchers at Loughborough University as participants, immer…
Specifying a principle of cryptographic justice as a response to the problem of going dark
Over the past decade, the Five Eyes Intelligence community has argued cryptosystems with end-to-end encryption (E2EE) are disrupting the acquisition and analysis of digital evidence. They have labelled this phenomenon the ‘problem of going dark’. Consequently, several jurisdictions have passed ‘responsible encryption’ laws that limit access to E2EE. Based upon a rhetorical analysis (Cunningham in Understanding rhetoric: a guide to critical readin…

How do Muslim service users, caregivers, and community members in Malappuram, Kerala, use their faith to address the challenges associated with mental ill health
Our aim was to explore the role religion and spiritual beliefs play in dealing with the challenges associated with mental ill health among the Muslim community in Malappuram, Kerala. Twenty-four interviews were conducted with patients of Islamic faith diagnosed with a mental health condition (n = 10) in urban (Ponnani) and rural (Vailathur) area of Malappuram, a Muslim majority district in Kerala, their family carers (n = 8) and community members…
Geographic isolation predicts tobacco product use among youth
PURPOSE: The purpose of the current study was to evaluate associations between geographic rurality and tobacco use patterns among adolescents. METHODS: High school students (N = 566) from north-central Appalachia reported on their lifetime and/or current use of cigarettes, electronic cigarettes (ECIGs), cigars, and smokeless tobacco. Geographic rurality was measured via the Isolation scale, whereby residential ZIP Codes determined the degree to w…
Providing Legal Assisted Dying and Euthanasia Services in a Global Pandemic
Background & objectives: Identifying the impacts of COVID-19 on patients' and practitioners' access to legal assisted dying and euthanasia (AD&E) services is vital to informing service continuity in an ongoing pandemic. Methods: An anonymous online survey collected qualitative and quantitative data from health practitioners and agencies providing legal AD&E services ( n = 89), complemented by semi-structured interviews with 18 survey respondents …
Smart Parenting? The Internet of Things, Children’s Privacy, and Data Justice
This paper examines children’s privacy and the Internet of Things (IoT). After describing the operation of IoTs directly marketed to and for children, we outline research concerning the surveillance of children and issues associated with children’s right to privacy, including the role of parents or guardians in protecting their children’s right to privacy. We then present the findings of a survey of Australian IoT consumers and non-consumers (n =…
Another tool in the experimental toolbox
Experimental archaeology continues to mature methodologically and theoretically. Around the world, practitioners are increasingly using modern materials that would have been unavailable to prehistoric people in archaeological experiments. The use of a modern material substitute can offer several benefits to experimental method, design, control, replicability, feasibility, and cost, but it should be directly compared to its “traditional” analogue …
Experimental assessment of obsidian versus chert lanceolate projectile point durability and robusticity
Stone‐tipped weaponry was important for the survival of past peoples, and many functional and non‐functional factors likely influenced their design. Two functional factors that past peoples likely considered in the design of their stone tips are durability (whether or not a stone tip breaks) and robusticity (how much damage is incurred upon breakage). Many factors have been shown experimentally to influence stone tip influence durability and robu…
Experiences of Loneliness Associated with Being an Informal Caregiver
Although providing care to a family member or friend may provide psychological benefits, informal (i.e. unpaid) caregivers also encounter difficulties which may negatively affect their quality of life as well as their mental and physical health. Loneliness is one important challenge that caregivers face, with this psychological state being associated with morbidity and premature mortality. Although previous research has identified loneliness as a…
Fossil Bison and Artifacts From an Early Altithermal Period Arroyo Trap in Wyoming
The Hawken site is a steep-sided arroyo into which small groups of bison were driven and slaughtered. The bison, which date about 4500 B.C. during the Altithermal period, are an extinct variant (B. bison occidentalis) and are morphologically intermediate between B. bison antiquus and B. bison bison. The projectile points are in the Altithermal period Side-Notched tradition and the butchering tools are similar to those found in many bison kill sit…
It’s All Possible”
This article examines how 18 teachers, counselors, administrators, and support staff from seven New York City public high schools collaborated during the Black and Latino Male Professional Development Initiative (a pseudonym) to develop a “culturally relevant, schoolwide, college-going culture” supportive of Black and Latino males’ college readiness and access. We draw from a mixed-methods empirical research study to discuss participants’ changin…

The Domestication of Maize
DOMESTICATION of plants is an ancient process that has received continuous human attention and has only recently been accelerated by advances in genetics and chemistry. The common assumption that domesticated plants and animals constitute a set of varieties, separated at some time in the past from wild progenitors, needs to be reassessed. Throughout the history of agriculture, man has put genetic pressure on biota by means of some type of mass se…

Digging deep
Organisational culture of institutions providing care for older people is increasingly recognised as influential in the quality of care provided. There is little research, however, that specifically examines the processes of care home culture and how these may be associated with quality of care. In this paper we draw from an empirical study carried out in the United Kingdom (UK) investigating the relationship between care home culture and residen…

The Effect of Isometric Scaling on Flaked Stone Projectile Point Impact Durability
A variety of flaked stone projectile point attributes can affect impact durability, which is the relationship between projectile impact force and point breakage. We examine the role of isometric scaling – size – on impact durability. Using 30 experimentally knapped points that varied predominately only in size, we conducted a ballistics experiment to understand whether points of certain sizes were more likely to break, or more likely to lose leng…
Research cultures in English and Scottish university education departments
The paper reports the findings of a small‐scale qualitative investigation into academic staff perceptions of research cultures across 10 English and Scottish university education departments. The study sheds light on four interrelated issues: the nature of research cultures, perceived facilitators, perceived constraints and the emotional landscape of working within a research environment. The findings indicate that perceptions vary according to s…

Critical reflection on authentic leadership and school leader development from a virtue ethical perspective
Authentic leadership has attracted recent empirical research from a wide range of social science disciplines interested largely in its relationship to human resource management and organisational effectiveness. In contrast, the focus of this study is specifically on the philosophical foundations of authentic leadership and their implications for leadership practice and continuing professional development. It emphasises the contribution of virtue …
Developing 14–19 education
The recent UK government Green Paper proposes reform for the supply side of 14-19 education, establishing four key goals. This article focuses on the first of these goals: meeting needs and improving choice. The article draws on research on sixth form colleges, general further education colleges and schools. It argues that employers, one of the two groups highlighted in the Green Paper, are a relatively weak force in shaping provision. The second…

Rock Music
We explore and describe the auditory landscape that emerges from stone tool making. Using two trained musicians, we identify the pitches and octaves produced from percussion knapping. We also analyze whether knapping sounds vary by raw material, knapper skill level, or by flake size. Our results show that our chosen stone material types each displayed a single fundamental pitch (E or G) with one or two additional octaves present, and each individ…
Who is in and who is out? A qualitative analysis of stakeholder participation in priority setting for health in three districts in Uganda
Stakeholder participation is relevant in strengthening priority setting processes for health worldwide, since it allows for inclusion of alternative perspectives and values that can enhance the fairness, legitimacy and acceptability of decisions. Low-income countries operating within decentralized systems recognize the role played by sub-national administrative levels (such as districts) in healthcare priority setting. In Uganda, decentralization…

Physical fighting is an important behavioral concern of public health importance among adolescents worldwide. The present study examines the patterns and correlates of physical fighting among a school-based population in a low-income country setting. Data on 6235 adolescents aged 11-16 years were derived from the Republic of Ghana contributions to the Global School-based Health Survey. Three thresholds of participation in a physical fight during …
Fossil Bison and Artifacts from The Mona Lisa Site, Calgary, Alberta
In November, 1968, salvage excavations at the site of an art gallery under construction in urban southwest Calgary, Alberta, Canada, revealed a Paleo-Indian bison kill. The single kill level lay at a depth of more than 250 em. in flood plain deposits of the Bow River, now flowing more than a mile north of the site. The bone bed was overlain by a thick deposit of Mazama Ash (6600 years B.P.). A bone radiocarbon date of 8080 ± 150 years B.P. (G.S.C…

Writing a Friendship Dance
In the opening pages of Mourning Dove’s 1927 novel, Cogewea, the Half-Blood: A Depiction of the Great Montana Cattle Range, the narrator tells us, “Of mixed blood, was Cogewea; a ‘breed’!—the socially ostracized of two races.” And yet what is striking about this work of contemporary American Indian literature is that it both asserts and, at the same time, subverts this essentialist vision of blood identity.\nIn certain circumstances (where there …
Speaking of Home
S_i everal years ago, National Geographic published a large photograph showing an Indian youth sitting in a tipi watching television. It must have come as a shock to photographer, this juxtaposition of two very dissimilar cultures-a moment of Barthesian frisson or jouissance perhaps. Yet, had several of Indian youth's friends happened by, it is unlikely that they would have exclaimed in a burst of ontological distress, A television in a tipi! Mor…
Legend and Life
In 1966 Frank Mitchell, a.k.a. “The Mad Axe-Man” escaped from Dartmoor Prison and, as panic swept the locality, one of the most concerted, and ultimately fruitless, manhunts of the time was instigated. The event also seems to have fuelled an increase in legend-telling so that the real-life case became intrinsically linked with the contemporary legend known as “The Boyfriend's Death.” Even today the story is central to the teenage storytelling rep…
