Can’t Throw Away a Rubber Band
Glacial geomorphology of the Enguri River headwaters, Georgian Caucasus
Glacial geomorphological mapping is essential for understanding the present-day landscape shaped by glaciers and for reconstructing the history of past glacial changes. Integrating field observations with remote sensing data is crucial for multidisciplinary approaches in glacial geomorphology. This study presents a high-resolution (1:33,000) glacial geomorphological map of the Enguri River headwaters (∼358 km2) in the Georgian Caucasus Mountains …
Paying for the Piper
A total of 167 men died when the North Sea oil platform Piper Alpha blew up in July 1988. It remains the world's deadliest offshore oil disaster. It was a major regional, national and international news event. The tragedy was felt particularly keenly in Aberdeen, an important hub for the oil and gas industry. This study examines how Piper Alpha was commemorated in regional, Scottish and UK newspapers, after one, five and ten years. It aims to pro…

Relationship between education in the Welsh medium and self-esteem for primary Cymreag and English speakers
The Soil Erosion Paradox Re‐Examined
Modern studies show that soil erosion results in a loss of ecosystem function, particularly fertility, and is a cause of declining agricultural yields. However, despite the well‐attested high rates of soil erosion across Roman and medieval Europe there appears to have been little or no soil‐associated decline in agricultural production—the soil erosion paradox. Small low‐slope erodible lowland catchments offer the opportunity to examine this ques…
Evidence of long-term woodland persistence despite prolonged anthropogenic stress
A multimillennial analysis of woodland ecosystems in the Leicestershire landscape (UK) shows significant anthropogenic stress over the last six millennia. We track these stresses using a combination of palynology and place-name evidence. We show a protracted period of deforestation from the Bronze Age (beginning ~4500 yr BP in Leicestershire), but the continuity of some woodland ecologies through to the present, with the managed re-establishment …
Social media dependency, depression and self-esteem for Cymraeg and English-speaking adolescents
The current study examined the effects of speaking a minority language (i.e. speaking the Welsh language in Wales) on the relationship between social media usage, social media dependency [SMD], depression and self-esteem for adolescents using both cross-sectional and longitudinal designs. 1709 pupils (844 primary Cymraeg-speakers [i.e. people who primarily speak the Welsh language]; 865 primary English-speakers) at secondary schools in Wales were…
The View From the Boundary
County cricket is a traditional mainstay of sports media in the UK, especially the local press, radio and television. However, technological disruption and financial pressures affecting local journalism and cricket itself have led to concerns the domestic game is now less visible, with media attention dominated by international fixtures and franchise leagues shown on pay TV channels. This study aims to complement scholarship on digital mediatizat…
Excremental Flows
With high population densities and concentrated industry, towns and cities generate vast quantities of waste. Maintaining the flow of waste, especially excremental matter, away from these centres to areas of final disposal or dispersal, is an essential priority for urban authorities. To operate effectively, waste management infrastructures and protocols must have sufficient capacity to cope with the volumes and different types of waste produced, …
Final Score
Television has been a dominant force in the history and development of sport media.Footnote1 Coverage of sport has been central in helping to define what television is.Footnote2 Many conventions in television sport were established by the BBC through its magazine programme, Grandstand, which ran from 1958 to 2007.Footnote3 Critics and sporting figures have periodically called for the BBC to revive it, especially amid concern some Olympic sports s…
The News Values of Court Reporting
Reporting the courts on behalf of the public is one of the traditional tasks of local newspapers. Yet in the UK, twin financial crises affecting both the local media market and the criminal justice system have led to concerns over the sustainability of court reporting. Furthermore, the practice of reporting to the courts has arguably been under-explored, especially when set against media coverage of crime generally. This article seeks to establis…
Absent, Repressive, and Criminalized States
Nearly a million people from El Salvador, Honduras, and Guatemala have been internally displaced in recent years, and hundreds of thousands more have fled to Mexico, the United States, Canada, and Europe. An extensive literature provides evidence that direct and structural violence are the principal drivers of this phenomenon. Largely unexamined is the way in which the governments of the region contribute to and in certain critical respects creat…
On Artificial Intelligence in Black and White
With the emergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the Anthropocene, we are faced with “humanizing AI before it dehumanizes us.” Before the advent of the “posthuman,” will our technologies help develop a better world, or enable us to more efficiently destroy it? This essay is an appeal to Black philosophers to contribute to the critique and value theory of AI. OpenAI’s GPT-4 has opened new ethical questions. This examination of AI’s history, a…

Law, justice and the role of courts in changing the social superstructure narrative in climate litigation
A rejoinder to Benoit Mayer's response to our article “Causality and the fate of climate litigation: The role of the social superstructure narrative”1. In the article Causality and the fate of climate litigation: The role of the social superstructure narrative, we argue that an enhanced and wider understanding of attribution science will shape the social superstructure narrative of climate change. This social superstructure narrative influences c…
Nuisance and Nuisance-makers in Late Medieval Nottingham
In late medieval Nottingham, matters of nuisance were dealt with by the Mickletorn Jury. Drawing on contextual information gleaned from the borough court rolls, this article provides a detailed spatial analysis of the nuisances reported by the Mickletorn Jury in October 1407 and biographical information on the named nuisance-makers. The roll is shown to be unusual in its arrangement and, with its emphasis on removing dung and dunghills, unusual i…
The Effects of Occupational Complexity on Late Life Cognition in Active
Objectives: This article sought to determine (1) whether occupational complexity (OC) explains individual differences in cognition at baseline, (2) whether this relationship is differentially related to cognition by Black/White race, and (3) whether OC mediates some or all of the Black/White race-related variance in late life cognition. Methods: 2371 participants from the Advanced Cognitive Training for Independent and Vital Elderly (ACTIVE) stud…
Absolutely Delighted’
Reporting on crime and the courts are among the classic functions of journalism. In the UK, journalists and others must abide by the Contempt of Court Act 1981, the main piece of primary legislation aimed at ensuring coverage of legal matters is fair to the participants. The restrictions are generally tighter in practice than in jurisdictions such as the US, where the media has a much freer hand to engage in pre-trial reporting. This paper argues…
Rapid laminated clastic alluviation associated with increased Little Ice Age flooding co-driven by climate variability and historic land-use in the middle Severn catchment, UK
The analysis of exceptionally well-preserved visible clastic laminations in deep alluvial sediments at Kempsey, Worcestershire (UK), allows a new high-resolution analysis of late-Holocene flood-history in the largest UK catchment, as well as local human response. At the sample site over 4.5 m of sandy-silt overbank-alluvium accumulated on the floodplain and optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating of the upper 2.25 m demonstrates accretion …
Causality and the fate of climate litigation
Climate litigation has become a strategic tool to push for climate justice, including compensation for losses caused by climate change. Many cases rely on the establishment of a causal relationship between the defendants' emission of greenhouse gases (GHG) and the plaintiffs' losses. All decided cases seeking compensation for a concrete climate related impact have been unsuccessful (thus far). Legal scholars as well as social and natural scientis…
Perceptions of linguistic parity on social media
This thematic analytic qualitative study used participants’ oral narratives to examine primary Cymraeg, which is the Welsh language, and English-speaking adolescents’ perceptions regarding Cymraeg-speakers’ opportunities of using their primary language on social media. Twenty-three participants were interviewed (two Welsh/Bilingual-medium schools: males = 5, females = 6; two English-medium schools: males = 6, females = 6). All of the Welsh/Biling…

History, Tragedy, Theory
In this book, some of the foremost scholars of Greek drama explore the work of all three great tragedians and approach them from a variety of perspectives on history and theory, including poststructuralism and Marxism. They investigate the possibilities for coordinating theoretically informed readings of tragedy with a renewed attention to the pressure of material history within those texts. The collection thus represents a response within classi…
Pollen and charcoal in lake sediments compared with historically documented forest fires in southern Switzerland since AD 1920
Charcoal in unlaminated sediments dated by 210 Pb was analysed by the pollen-slide and thin-section methods. The results were compared with the number and area of forest fires on different spatial scales in the area around Lago di Origlio as listed in the wildfire database of southern Switzerland since AD 1920. The influx of the number of charcoal particles > 75 μm 2 in pollen slides correlates well with the number of annual forest fires recorded…

Why Remittances Shouldn't Be Blamed for Rural Underdevelopment in Mexico
Leigh Binford, borrowing from Jones (1995a), suggests two major thematic positions in Mexican-US migration and development research: first, neoMarxist critiques and structural inquiries of the 1970s and 1980s; and second, 'apologetic' functional models of the 1980s and 1990s, which come to positive rather than negative conclusions concerning remittance outcomes. Neo-Marxists and structural models are represented in Binford's article by Mines (198…
Digital Rule
This article develops a theoretical model of `digital rule'. This is a form of at-a-distance monitoring which becomes possible with the advent of certain electronic technologies. It is argued that this form of monitoring gives rise to a related form of decision-making, and to particular forms of punishment, both directly and indirectly. The article begins with a review of Foucault's work on `discipline'. It is argued that while his general approa…

We report 14 C intercomparison measurements being undertaken by the carbon dating laboratories at University of Waikato (Wk), University of California at Irvine (UCI), and University of Oxford (OxA). The Wk, UCI, and OxA lab…
Loss and Damage and limits to adaptation
Recent evidence shows that climate change is leading to irreversible and existential impacts on vulnerable communities and countries across the globe. Among other effects, this has given rise to public debate and engagement around notions of climate crisis and emergency. The Loss and Damage (L&D) policy debate has emphasized these aspects over the last three decades. Yet, despite institutionalization through an article on L&D by the United Nation…

Decadally Resolved Lateglacial Radiocarbon Evidence from New Zealand Kauri
The Last Glacial–Interglacial Transition (LGIT; 15,000–11,000 cal BP) was characterized by complex spatiotemporal patterns of climate change, with numerous studies requiring accurate chronological control to decipher leads from lags in global paleoclimatic, paleoenvironmental, and archaeological records. However, close scrutiny of the few available tree-ring chronologies and radiocarbon-dated sequences composing the IntCal13 14 C calibration curv…
Signatures in the Soil
Data collected from fieldwalking have traditionally been used to identify ‘sites’ (high-density pottery concentrations) and to distinguish crudely between arable and non-arable zones on the basis of the presence or absence of low-density pottery scatters. A deeper analysis of ceramic manure scatters has been undertaken here using material collected from an extensive survey of fields in north Buckinghamshire and south-west Northamptonshire. This h…
Early Medieval Place-Names and Riverine Flood Histories
Environmental information from place-names has largely been overlooked by geoarchaeologists and fluvial geomorphologists in analyses of the depositional histories of rivers and floodplains. Here, new flood chronologies for the rivers Teme, Severn, and Wye are presented, modelled from stable river sections excavated at Broadwas, Buildwas, and Rotherwas. These are connected by the Old English term * wæsse , interpreted as ‘land by a meandering rive…
It’s the Best Job on the Paper” – The Courts Beat During the Journalism Crisis
Local journalism in the UK has been described as being in “crisis”. Local newspapers have experienced years of declining circulations and staff cuts, leading to questions about how effectively those institutions can continue to perform normative functions of journalism. One of those is to report on the courts. Through analysis of 22 semi-structured interviews with local newspaper reporters who cover the courts beat, agency court reporters who sup…
Is it time for an elemental and humoral (re)turn in archaeology
This paper asks whether archaeologists might profitably re-engage with the pre-Enlightenment doctrines of elemental philosophy and humoral theory as paradigms more relevant for archaeological interpretation in certain contexts than much of current theoretical discourse. These ancient cosmologies are here reconceptualized to suggest ways in which archaeologists might provide fairer representations of past cultures, through the readoption of ideas …
Using Concept Mapping to Promote Community Building
While many organizations recognize the value of community building, they often encounter difficulty in actualizing projects and developing tangible results. This article presents how a planning and evaluation method known as concept mapping was used to drive a community building effort by a large not-for-profit organization in Chicago around the issue of at-risk African American male youth. This work grew out of a grant related to the needs of Af…
The social world of karate-do
Five related themes in the social and cultural aspects of contemporary karate-do are examined: 1. the development of karate in Okinawa and Japan and its subsequent growth in the UK, 2. the ‘value-structure’ of karate — how novices are socialized into the ‘karate-way’ (karate-do) in one particular North Wales club, 3. ideological aspects of the value system in karate, 4. the social organization of karate, particularly the interpersonal dynamic of …
Excavations at Lincoln. Third Interim Report
Excavations outside the walled area (of the ancient city) have added much to our knowledge of Lincoln's historical development and have demonstrated the potential of the suburbs for further problem-orientated investigations. Evidence was recovered in 1972 for a late Iron Age settlement on the east bank of the Brayford to the south of the later Roman city. The Ermine Street frontage here was heavily built up from the mid-second century for a dista…
Overcoming Dilemmas Created by the 21st Century Mercenaries
In the past private security companies have taken responsibility for protecting reconstruction and aid activities during and after conflict. In Mozambique, Angola and Afghanistan such companies have played various roles in providing security for the reconstruction effort and delivery of humanitarian aid. However, the extensive private sector involvement in the reconstruction of Iraq, in addition to expanding aid activities, means that the use of …
The late-Holocene history of Gormire Lake (NE England) and its catchment
Sedimentary evidence spanning the last 3500 years from cores taken from the centre of Gormire Lake, Cleveland, northeast England, points to two periods of deforestation and catchment erosion. The first, mainly late Iron Age/Romano-British phase, began c. 200 BC and ended c. AD 600. The second began c. AD 1200, the time of early Monastic activity, and continued into the nineteenth century. The chronology for the core rests on 137 Cs, 210 Pb and 14…
Responding to Modern Flooding
Place-names are used to communicate Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) by all indigenous, aboriginal and First Nations people. Here and for the first time, English place-names are examined through a TEK lens. Specifically, place-names formed in Old English—the language of the Anglo-Saxon—and coined between c. 550 and c. 1100 A.D., are explored. This naming horizon provides the basic name stock for the majority of English towns and villages st…

Populist leniency, crime control and due process
This article identifies and discusses examples of populist calls against punishment and for leniency—a phenomenon here termed ‘populist leniency’. A penal moderate might find such populist opposition to punishment superficially appealing. However, drawing from Packer’s classic models of the criminal process, it is argued that both populist leniency and penal populism express ‘Crime Control’ values, the view that the proper role of the criminal pr…

The excavation of the Knowes of Quoyscottie, Orkney
HY 302228. A typical Orcadian barrow cemetery consisting of at least ten small mounds, of which four were excavated. They measured 5m-8.5m in diameter, each with a rough stone kerb, and three had cremation burials in central stone cists. Three stone ard-shares were found on the kerb stones. A flat cremation cemetery of thirty-three burials in small pits clustered on the NE perimeter of Knowe 1; some had been deposited before and during the constr…
Excavations at Lincoln. Second Interim Report
Recent excavations have added considerably to our knowledge of the lower walled city in the Roman period, both in terms of internal structures (mainly houses) and of the sequence of the defences. Much, however, still remains to be learned about the early development and layout of the lower town, while the exact nature of the defensive system is imperfectly understood. Evidence is gradually accumulating to show that what had been the Roman city wa…
