  • The 1976 IMF crisis revisited

    Open AccessDavid SmithARTICLEContemporary Social Science2026

    In 1976, the British government went ‘cap in hand’ to the International Monetary Fund to secure a foreign currency loan to prevent a further slide in the value of sterling. The currency was already under pressure due to the poor state of the UK’s Balance of Payments and weak public finances. A further decline in sterling raised the spectre of even higher inflation during an unprecedented post-war inflationary era. This commentary revisits the IMF…

  • Reducing misdiagnoses and cognitive errors using virtual patients and automated feedback in a clinical reasoning curriculum

    Open AccessJason Waechter, Anita Kusnoor et al.ARTICLEBMC Medical Education2026

  • ‘I've Never Seen That Money’

    Open AccessDavid Smith, David M Smith et al.ARTICLESocial Policy and Administration2026

    Using qualitative data with older (50+) EU‐migrants and NGO representatives, this study investigates the drivers of old‐age poverty and retirement insecurity for low‐income EU‐migrants. Our findings indicate that the nature of work that many are/were engaged in and education, along with timing and age of arrival to the UK, influenced poverty risk, placing older and more recent migrants at a disadvantage. These risks were exacerbated by poor aware…

  • Years of River Management of the Dove Valley, along the Border of Derbyshire and Staffordshire

    Open AccessKristina Krawiec, Andrew Howard et al.ARTICLEJournal of Wetland Archaeology2026

    In 2020 an opportunity to investigate a substantial water management feature was presented during work to improve biodiversity and fish passage along the catchment of the River Dove. The project was designed and funded by the Environment Agency, with archaeological monitoring by CFA Archaeology Ltd and York Archaeology. Such projects remove ‘obstructions’, usually represented by much-adapted weir and channel structures, which are often encased in…

  • Communicative Liminality and its Practices

    Open AccessJ H Matthews, Julian Matthews et al.ARTICLEJournalism Studies2026Referencias: 19

    Political journalists have long used anonymous sourcing within their journalistic outputs. This form of non-attributed sourcing has developed within a context of increasing intensification between journalists and their political sources (or “mediated reflexivity”) and is often regarded as regulated and routinised by the practices and products of traditional journalism. Still, potentially opening the aperture on elite communicative activity are th…

  • Radiocarbon Dating Insect Samples

    Open AccessR M Briant, Philippa Ascough et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Archaeology2025Referencias: 5

    Radiocarbon dating insects is difficult because insects are small, fragile, and rarely found in sufficient quantities. Interactions between the chitin in the insect body and sources of carbon contamination are less well understood than for collagen and cellulose-based organic materials such as bone and plant remains. Thus there is as yet no single radiocarbon pretreatment that reliably removes all contaminating carbon across all types of insect r…

  • Sappho’s Exile in Sicily and Her Statue in Syracuse

    David Smith, David G SmithARTICLEMnemosyne2025Referencias: 10

    Sappho’s poetry makes reference to exile but not to Sicily. There is no source other than the Parian Marble that makes reference to Sappho herself being in Sicily for any reason. There is also no clear evidence as to why the Syracusans, according to Cicero, honored Sappho with a statue in their prytaneion, although the Athenian comic tradition told stories of her jumping into the sea as far west as Leucas and there is a strong tradition of people…

  • Tax, trip-ups, and transgressions

    Open AccessDavid Deacon, David Smith et al.ARTICLEParliamentary Affairs2025Referencias: 1

    This contribution examines British mainstream news reporting of the 2024 UK General Election. The analysis shows the two main parties' share of coverage exceeded their actual vote share by some margin, the first time this has occurred in the last seven campaigns. Levels of policy content was also low compared with previous elections and the substantive agenda was disconnected from voter priorities. Analysis of GB News, a new television channel th…

  • South-East Asian Nurses’ Experiences Under the Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) in Japan

    Open AccessYoshiyuki Nagaya, Nicola Gillin et al.ARTICLEJournal of Transcultural Nursing2024

    INTRODUCTION: Since 2009, nurses have relocated to Japan from Indonesia, the Philippines, and Vietnam under the auspices of the Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA). We asked why some migrant nurses remain in Japan whereas others leave. METHOD: We applied the methodology of Constructivist Grounded Theory. All participants were internationally educated nurses (IENs) currently or formerly working in Japan after passing the National Nursing Examinat…

  • Measuring the Impact of Services for Human Trafficking Survivors

    Open AccessE C Levine, David SmithARTICLEJournal of Applied Social Science2024

    Evaluations of anti-trafficking services typically use statistical significance to determine effectiveness. However, statistically significant increases in quantitative assessments do not necessarily indicate substantive changes in survivors’ lives. This study employs clinically significant improvement as a standard for measuring outcomes among survivors who received services at the Coalition to Abolish Slavery & Trafficking (Cast, N = 167). Anal…

  • Artefacts of disaster risk reduction

    Open AccessGonzalo Lizarralde, Benjamin Herazo et al.ARTICLEDisaster Prevention and…2024

    Purpose Disaster risk reduction is of prime importance in informal settlements in the Global South, where several forms of vulnerability coexist. Policy and official programmes, however, rarely respond to the needs and expectations of citizens and local leaders living in these settlements. Even though these agents constantly attempt to reduce risks in their own way, we know very little about their activities, motivations and effective impact on r…

  • The State We're In

    Open AccessDavid Smith, David Nichol SmithARTICLEThe Political Quarterly2024

    UK in a Changing Europe (UKICE) is a comparative newcomer among think tanks and it has produced a wide‐ranging report on the state of the UK economy. It asks whether the UK economy is caught in a ‘doom loop’ where performance is bad, but policy options are constrained by the fiscal position. Unlike some SWOT analyses it looks as strengths as well as weaknesses, but these may favour the more prosperous parts of the UK. The ideas presented could he…

  • Why mainstream news media still matter

    Open AccessDesley Deacon, David Smith et al.ARTICLEMedia Culture & Society2024Citada por: 12Referencias: 5

    It is frequently claimed that mainstream news organisations are in crisis and becoming ever more marginalised in the contemporary high-choice media environment. Such claims frequently conflate different challenges facing the industry, resulting in over-generalised claims about the prospects for established news brands. In this article, we identify four related crises: reach, resource, reputation and relevance. Through the analysis of each, we sho…

  • Assessing disease self-management in multi-ethnic patients with chronic conditions and evaluating psychometric properties of the Partners in Health scale

  • The subjectivity of self and its ontology

    Open AccessGeorg Northoff, David SmithARTICLETheory & Psychology2023

    The search for the subjective nature of our self is intensely debated in philosophy and neuroscience. However, despite all progress, the subjectivity of self and how it fits into the seemingly objective world remains elusive. Drawing on recent empirical data, we show how the self is shaped by the brain’s scale-free activity, that is, long-range temporal correlation (LRTC) and the world’s ecological context. We assume that the scale-free LRTC of t…

  • The Development and Validation of the Practicing Faith Survey

    Open AccessAlbert Cheng, Beth Green et al.ARTICLEJournal of Psychology and Theology2023

    We introduce a new instrument, called the Practicing Faith Survey (PFS), to assess faith formation among students in K-12 Christian schools. We begin by describing the conceptual and theological background of the PFS, underscoring the ways it differs from existing instruments of faith formation because of its particular focus on Christian practice within the context of learning and the vocation of the student. We then describe the procedures behi…

    David H Smith, David Smith et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Archaeology2023Citada por: 1Referencias: 4

    This paper describes the recovery and identification of oothecae of the oriental cockroach (Blatta orientalis L.) from deposits associated with an Early Romano-British bakery oven from Roman Londinium (now modern-day London). The ecology, behaviour and past archaeological history of this species are presented. The implications of finding this species for our understanding of the movement and importation of stored products and other materials by t…

  • Trade Wars and Disrupted Global Commodity Chains

    Open AccessPaul S Ciccantell, David Smith et al.ARTICLEJournal of World-Systems Research2023Citada por: 4Referencias: 5

    The literatures on global commodity chains and global value chains rest on an unquestioned assumption: the continual expansion of globalization. The Trump Administration's trade wars challenged this foundational assumption and even today the new Biden regime also hints at the shift away from global supply chains. We find that the prior administration’s efforts caused continued disruption of long-established commodity chains in steel, aluminum, au…

  • Community resilience implications for institutional response under uncertainty

    Open AccessMrudhula Koshy, David SmithARTICLESustainable Development2023Referencias: 21

    While trajectories of community resourcefulness, solidarity, and mutual trust during and following environmental crises are abound in the literature, how these trajectories are taken into consideration and influences spatial planners, humanitarians and decision makers working under uncertainty remains under documented. Our article explores the concept of community resilience in action to illustrate where community resilience in action is supporte…

  • The development of arable cultivation in the south-east of England and its relationship with vegetation cover

    Open AccessAnne de Vareilles, John Woodbridge et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene2023Citada por: 1Referencias: 29

    The onset of prehistoric farming brought unprecedented changes to landscapes and their biodiversity. Past biodiversity patterns are broadly understood for different parts of Europe, and demonstrate trajectories that have been linked to prehistoric and historic demographic transitions, and associated land-use practices. To our knowledge, this paper is the first attempt to directly link evidence of agricultural practice from the archaeological reco…

    This article investigates ancestral Wendat pottery making in southern Ontario through the Wendat perspective of Sǫhahiyǫh, a Wendat potter. Our study is based on eyewitness accounts of Sǫhahiyǫh making pots, along with detailed photographs and his own artistic reflections on his gestures related to all stages of pottery making. To create a detailed description that sheds light on ancestral Wendat potting communities and their practices, we invest…

  • Learning from the Stranger

    David Smith

    Cultural differences increasingly impact our everyday lives. Virtually none of us today interact exclusively with people who look, talk, and behave like we do. David Smith here offers an excellent guide to living and learning in our culturally interconnected world. / Learning from the Stranger clearly explains what culture is, discusses how cultural difference affects our perceptions and behavior, and explores how Jesus' call to love our neighbor…
