A retrospective observational study of characteristics and outcomes of older patients referred to a hospital-based social prescribing programme
Introduction Social Prescribing (SP) links people to non-medical supports to address social determinants of health (SDH) and improve wellbeing. To date, there has been little evidence published on the use or outcomes of SP with older adults in a hospital setting. Here, we described patient characteristics, engagement, and pre–post wellbeing outcomes in a hospital-based SP programme for older people. Materials and methods Retrospective observation…
Ability and Difference in Early Modern China
In 1405, a family left their home in the Mongolian steppe and moved to China. This daring decision, taken at a time of dramatic change in eastern Eurasia, paved the way for 250 years of unlikely success at the Ming court. Winning recognition for military skill and loyalty, the family later known as the Wu gained a coveted title of nobility and became members of the capital elite until the dynasty's collapse in 1644. By tracing the individual fort…

Housing Inequalities
Housing inequalities are a key focus for housing research, yet how inequalities are defined and understood is rarely discussed. Recognising the potential for weak abstractions to limit the framing and restrict the imagination of research, this article subjects the concept of housing inequalities to analysis, critique and refinement. Through a narrative review, the fundamental assumptions common to different orientations towards housing inequaliti…
The Ming Dynasty (1368–1644) and Its Non-Han Military Auxiliaries
War is as much an exercise in building relations as breaking enemies. Relation building inevitably involves transfer—whether it is movement of people, exchange of goods, formation of social ties, or change of identity. This article focuses on efforts by the Ming dynasty (1368–1644) to secure skilled fighters from among populations that it viewed as distinct from the Chinese (or Han) majority but still integral parts of the polity. Contemporaries …
New flawed consumers? Problem figuration, responsibility and identities in the English building safety crisis
Particular populations within the UK housing sector (most notably social housing tenants) have been conceptualised as 'flawed' consumers (Bauman, 1998) subject to stigmatisation in governmental and popular discourses for failing to enact the correct forms of consumption within the 'grammars of conduct' of the housing system.These valorise home ownership, prudent financial management and maintaining and enhancing properties.The post-Grenfell cladd…

Race equality in housing
Ethnic inequalities in housing in England are entrenched and long-standing. Minority ethnic groups are more likely than the White British population to experience housing disadvantage and deprivation. In recent years, little attention has focused on what steps housing policy is taking to promote race equality. This study fills this gap in knowledge. Focusing on four key housing policy interventions, it traces the policy approach to race equality …
Curriculum as policy text
Curriculum reform was high on the agenda of South Africa’s post-apartheid governments. Yet as time passed, the initial reforms were seen as increasingly problematic, especially when pedagogical realities met policy priorities. There was reluctance on the part of policymakers to give up what was seen as the democratic imperative behind the reforms. Yet as schools struggled, public responses blamed inadequate attention to practical issues as underm…

ʿAjamī Literacies of Africa
African ʿAjamī literatures hold a wealth of knowledge on the history and intellectual traditions of the region but are largely unknown to the larger public. Our special issue seeks to enhance a broader understanding of this important part of the Islamic world, exploring the ʿAjamī literatures and literacies of four main language groups of Muslim West Africa: Hausa, Mandinka, Fula, and Wolof. Through increasing access to primary sources in ʿAjamī …

Specialist housing for older people in an era of neoliberal transformation
Specialist housing for older people is an important welfare service and integral part of the housing offer in many countries. An extensive evidence base details the relative merits of different modes of provision, but little light has been cast on the forces shaping provision and the interests served. Drawing on a new model of demand and supply of specialist provision in England at the local authority level, this study addresses this lacuna. Two …
Living in a small home
Housing choices are commonly perceived as active and exercised at a fixed point. But individuals continually negotiate these trade-offs through the unfolding of their everyday life, particularly when choices result in forms of living outside normative housing expectations. This article considers trade-offs around house size made by residents of smaller homes in three UK cities—London, Sheffield, and Edinburgh—drawing on in-depth interviews with 2…
An Archaeology of Nuclear Power
This chapter details an archaeological approach to sites in the nuclear industry. Set against a background of a consideration of Cold War sites more generally, the chapter suggests that nuclear sites have seen little investigation because many are still in use. Furthermore, there are associated risks of contamination (radiation) along with security issues to consider. However, the effects of nuclear sites can be documented, in terms of how they a…
Global developments in social prescribing
Social prescribing is an approach that aims to improve health and well-being. It connects individuals to non-clinical services and supports that address social needs, such as those related to loneliness, housing instability and mental health. At the person level, social prescribing can give individuals the knowledge, skills, motivation and confidence to manage their own health and well-being. At the society level, it can facilitate greater collab…

First Tonsures in England in the First Half of the Fourteenth Century
Boys who were tonsured by their bishop acquired clerical status. Bishops might confer the tonsure at or near a general ordination but also on their progress around their diocese or when resident at one of their manor houses. Candidates had to be ‘literate’, possessing a certain level of Latin, free (or manumitted), legitimate (or dispensed) and ‘suitable’. There is evidence of local selection and candidates were examined before being tonsured. To…
Eviction Dynamics in Market-Rate Multifamily Rental Housing
Evictions are a pressing issue facing many low-income renters. The growing scholarship on evictions generally groups together all types of evictions across multiple property and owner types. Eviction dynamics may differ, however, between publicly subsidized affordable housing providers and private, market-rate rental landlords, or between evictions filed for different reasons, such as non-payment of rent or for no-fault. We examine the neighborho…
Labor and Religious Tolerance in Two Senegalese Daaras
How do people create their religious selves and a religious culture through their everyday practices and discourses? This article examines residents of two rural daaras (Sufi religious communities) in Senegal and their focus on labor and tolerance as religious practice. It uses concepts of tradition, performativity, and citation to trace the themes of labor and tolerance through historical, political, and present-day applications in Senegal. How …
Urban rhythms in a small home
The amount of living space we have access to is one manifestation of the unequal distribution of housing resources within societies. The COVID-19 pandemic has required most households to spend more time at home, unmasking inequalities and reigniting longstanding debates about the functionality and experience of smaller homes. Drawing on interviews across three UK cities, this article attends to the changing household routines of individuals livin…
Rhythm and booze
Ale Trails, where a series of pubs noted for serving real ale and craft beer are linked together along a prescribed route followed either on foot or by bus or train, are now a well-established activity in the UK and beyond. However, in some cases they have become associated with large groups of rowdy drinkers characterised by excessive consumption and disorderly behaviour. While copious research has focused on drinking urban leisure spaces, few s…

Plato's Lysis
The Lysis is one of five short Platonic dialogues which address themselves entirely to a question of definition.Besides the Lysis these dialogues are the Charmides, Laches, Hippias Major and Euthyphro; all of these ask a question of the type "What is x?" and make this question their sole concern (unlike one or two longer dialogues in which a question of this type appears in conjunction with other questions of a different type).All these five dial…

A Place for Integration
This paper seeks to inject an appreciation of place into analysis of refugee integration. A framework of integration sensitive to interactions between people and places is operationalised to facilitate the systematic comparison of the refugee integration process in different places. In particular, this paper explores variations in key indicators of integration within a cohort of refugees arriving into the UK from the same country of origin (Iraq)…

The Neighbourhood Effects of New Immigration
Since the early 1990s global migration flows have become larger in scale and more varied in form. In the UK, controversy has surrounded this new phase of migration and it has often been assumed to be having a detrimental affect on the well-being of settled residents. Yet, there is dearth of information about the impacts of new immigration and what evidence does exist is curiously place-less, making it difficult to say anything about local effects…
Reflections on Migration, Community, and Place
This paper explores different conceptualisations of migration, community, and place as an introduction to a themed issue of this journal concerned with the contextualisation of migrants' experiences across a range of nested scales. The purpose of this collection of papers is to draw out the spatial variability, contradictions, and ambiguities in migrant experiences and to explore conceptual frameworks for understanding the connections between mig…
The Search for Community Cohesion
The community cohesion policy agenda in England emerged from the melee of explanation and advice that abounded in the aftermath of the street disturbances in Bradford, Burnley and Oldham in the summer of 2001. Various reports were published examining issues arising from the disturbances and providing recommendations for action. In 2002, the government responded with the launch of guidance on community cohesion for local authorities and establishe…
Sensual, material, and technological understanding
Recent years have witnessed an increased interest within archaeology in the non-visual senses, and particularly sound. To date, however, most studies have focused on the evidence for musical instruments and the acoustic properties of special structures and spaces, like monuments and caves. This study reports on further evidence for special musical activities at the prehistoric site of Sanganakallu-Kupgal in south India, but then also moves on to …

French ‘Islamic’ Policy and Practice in Late Nineteenth-Century Senegal
In contrast to the negative conclusions reached by Donal Cruise O'Brien, it is here argued that the French, in the last half of the nineteenth century, maintained an Islamic policy. They practised some of it all of the time and all of it when they had the human and financial resources. They consistently opposed the Islamic state where it conflicted with their own political and economic interests. They identified it with their old nemesis of Futa …

Sense of community in a remote mining town
Psychometric properties and determinants of Buckner's Neighborhood Cohesion Index (NCI) have previously been reported for 206 individuals from three Washington, DC suburbs. This study analyses the properties and determinants of the scale for 1182 mine workers in Elliot Lake, a remote Canadian single‐industry town. Data were collected through in‐person interviews. The scale in the Elliot Lake sample was highly reliable (α=.91) and the Elliot Lake …
The Jakhanke
When originally published in 1979, this was the first comprehensive study of the Jakhanke in any language. Despite the 19th ambience of jihad, the Jakhanke maintined their tradition of consistent pacifism and political neutrality which is unique in Muslim Black Africa. Drawing on histories, interviews, and colonial reports the book traces the details of the Jakhanke pilgrimages and analyses important themes such as their system of education, thei…
Towards Intercultural Engagement
Concerns about the consequences of new migration for good community relations have brought calls for bridge-building between apparently disconnected groups through greater social contact, intercultural dialogue and co-operation at the local scale. Although several initiatives have sought to build stronger relations between new and settled groups in the UK, we know relatively little about the impact of these encounters on those involved or their e…

New immigrants and migrants in social housing in Britain
The perception that new immigrants and migrants are unfairly advantaged in the allocation of social housing is one of the most frequently cited injustices of new immigration in Britain. Tapping into dominant notions of the immigrant as folk devil and a long tradition of scapegoating blameworthy groups for problems accessing social housing, this debate has all the hallmarks of a moral panic, with exaggeration and distortion raising public concern …
France as a Muslim Power in West Africa
France became a Muslim power, in the sense of an imperial nation with Muslim subjects, over the course of the nineteenth century. This practice and policy first emerged in Algeria, and from the mid-nineteenth century it was al-so deployed in Senegal and Mauritania, the initial core of French West Africa. The process of conquering the bidan, or whites, of Mauritania, an Arabic-speaking nomadic people with a strong sense of racial superiority over …
Community resilience
In many countries, local government has been a prime target of austerity measures. In response, local authorities are exploring a new repertoire of policy approaches in a bid to provide more with less. In England, local authorities have been drawn to community resilience as a pragmatic response to the challenge of deploying shrinking resources to support communities exposed to social and economic disruption. This application of resilience thinkin…
Assemblage Theory and the Capacity to Value
New discoveries from a Californian cave have found a remarkable assemblage of cached perishable and other artefacts. Comprised of baskets, cordage, bone, antler, leather, food residues and other materials, the assemblages are dispersed through four caves in the largest ever cache discovered in the borderland region attributable to the native Californian linguistic group known as the Chumash. This paper develops a methodology based upon DeLanda's …
Social Housing in England
The role and function of social housing in England are being recast. A radical programme of reform is being pursued in response to the apparent failure of the sector to serve as an effective welfare service, promoting dependency rather than social mobility. This paper examines the underlying logics and considers some of the potential consequences of this reform agenda, through an exploration of the relationship between social housing and workless…
Owners yet Tenants
The position of flat owners inevitably raises complex issues in terms of the balance of individual and collective rights and responsibilities to be enshrined in housing law. These issues are resolved in various ways according to national policies and market frameworks. This paper examines the unique and unusual position of long leaseholders in privately owned blocks of flats in England and Wales. It outlines the major legal changes which have aff…

Land Use, Land Ideology
While rock art is global in distribution, it remains a media fix in placed within particular physical environments. Because of this, it can be examined using various spatial approaches and technologies. By integrating a variety of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) applications to examine the location and position of rock art in relation to both natural features and other archaeological deposits, a detailed understanding of the positioning of r…

An epileptic seizure developed in a 46-year-old catatonic patient, with a family and personal history of convulsions in early childhood, when psychologically traumatic material was presented to her. There was no history of spontaneous convulsive seizure for more than 40 years prior to the structured interview. Recordings with depth electrodes were obtained for an extended period prior to and throughout the structured interview. The psychological …

Mothers' fear, their children's well-being in hospital, and the study of illness behavior
Attempts to identify problems connected with the hospitalization ofyoung children have usually focused on the children themselves and paid little attention to the children's parents. Nevertheless there is ample support in the literature for the commonsense notion that parents, and especially mothers, may suffer extreme distress over their children's illness, hospitalization, and surgery This paper makes a number of tentative propositions about th…

Topics in Sophocles' Philoctetes
Sophocles' Philoctetes is deservedly a much-studied play, and only sparse gleanings seem likely to remain for those who seek to propose total novelties in interpreting it. Much of the time, in these notes, I am attempting to restate or remarshal arguments for well-known positions; even the arguments are often old; I can only hope the redeployment of some of them will occasionally seem to sharpen them. It will be obvious how much I am indebted to …

The Alcohologist's Addiction; Some Implications of Having Lost Control over the Disease Concept of Alcoholism
Jellinek's original definition of the disease concept of alcoholism was restricted to the loss-of-control and inability-to-abstain aspects of excessive drinking. He later adopted a more wide-ranging definition of alcoholism; the implications of this for the alcoholic, the medical profession and the wider society are discussed
