Depressive Symptoms Among South African Construction Workers
The construction industry exhibits higher rates of depression in its workforce compared to other industries. This study investigates the association between the prevalence of depressive symptoms and various demographic (e.g., age, ethnicity, education), social, and work-related factors (e.g., relationship status, living environment, work situation) and behavioural factors (e.g., alcohol and drug use). Survey data collected from 496 male construct…
Evaluating incentives to encourage native afforestation on private lands in Aotearoa–New Zealand
Journeys towards decolonising research practices in Aotearoa New Zealand
This perspective piece focuses on attempts to reshape research in Aotearoa New Zealand in ways that honour Te Tiriti o Waitangi, the country's founding treaty between Māori and the Crown. These obligations establish dimensions of responsible research in this context that go beyond European-devised Responsible Innovation (RI) frameworks. We reflect on these requirements and how they are addressed within two public research organisations. Consideri…

Revisiting the sustainability science research agenda
Identifying research gaps and priorities is paramount to advance sustainability science and contribute to a sustainable future. This editorial contributes to this effort by contemplating the sustainability science research agenda and aligning it with recent changes in global dynamics. Drawing on consultations with the editorial board members of the Sustainability Science journal and a review of relevant literature, we identified 12 key research t…

Assessment of scientific gaps related to the effective environmental management of deep-seabed mining
A comprehensive understanding of the deep-sea environment and mining’s likely impacts is necessary to assess whether and under what conditions deep-seabed mining operations comply with the International Seabed Authority’s obligations to prevent ‘serious harm’ and ensure the ‘effective protection of the marine environment from harmful effects’ in accordance with the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. A synthesis of the peer-reviewed …
The Impact of the Hope Royal Commissions of the 1970s and 1980s on Australia’s Intelligence Agencies Today
In recent years several public events have raised serious questions about the respect shown by the Australian intelligence agencies and their political masters for civil liberties. The controversies have been linked to certain structural changes announced in 2017. This paper puts these changes and the associated controversies in the context of the principles and structures established by Justice Robert Marsden Hope in two royal commissions on the…

Exploring Adaptive Governance for Indigenous Peoples
In this article, we trace the evolution of the Erosion Control Funding Programme (ECFP) on the East Coast of Aotearoa New Zealand to illustrate the importance of indigenous co-development of forest systems for more adaptive governance. The ECFP was originally created to address severe erosion on the East Coast, but uptake of the programme has been slower than planned. We employ an adaptive governance lens to track the progress of the ECFP over ti…

Adaptive and interactive climate futures
Climate change is already having adverse impacts on ecosystems, communities and economic activities through higher temperatures, prolonged droughts, and more frequent extremes. However, a gap remains between public understanding, scientific knowledge about climate change, and changes in behaviour to effect adaptation. 'Serious games'-games used for purposes other than entertainment-are one way to reduce this adaptation deficit by enhancing opport…
Trust, engagement, information and social licence—insights from New Zealand
This research examines trust at the government, industry, community nexus, as mediated by media, and its effect on social licence to operate. Researchers attempted to understand levels and importance of trust in New Zealand's natural resource sectors by examining ways of building, maintaining and assessing public trust in a post-truth society. We surveyed 128 New Zealand public and held a stakeholder forum about perceptions of trust in relation t…
Validation of the Schieman and Young measurement scales for work contact, work-family conflict, working conditions, psychological distress and sleep problems in construction industry professionals
The six scales developed by Schieman and Young (2013) hold promise as measures of work contact, work-family conflict, psychological distress, and sleep problems in relation to working conditions of construction professionals

Aids-related knowledge, stigma and customary beliefs of South African construction workers
Customary beliefs about the cause/s of AIDS are significantly related to whether or not individuals will undergo HIV testing. This study examined the cultural beliefs of construction workers in terms of their demographic and lifestyle behavioural characteristics, and their AIDS-related knowledge and stigma attitudes, to help inform improved work-based AIDS-education interventions by construction firms. A total of 512 workers drawn from 6 firms op…

The Grass Roots of English History

Patient-centered boundary mechanisms to foster intercultural partnerships in health care
BACKGROUND: Up to one half of the population in Africa, Asia and Latin America has little access to high-quality biomedical services and relies on traditional health systems. Medical pluralism is thus in many developing countries the rule rather than the exception, which is why the World Health Organization is calling for intercultural partnerships to improve health care in these regions. They are, however, challenging due to disparate knowledge …
Maya phytomedicine in Guatemala – Can cooperative research change ethnopharmacological paradigms
Resisting Closure
The Passacaglia finale from György Ligeti's Le Grand Macabre (1974–7, rev. 1996) has been described as a point of stylistic crisis, marking Ligeti's return to more traditional compositional means. Consonances and tonal allusions in the music are regarded as indicative of this retrospective tendency. However, notions of functional hierarchy or even pitch centres do little to explicate the underlying processes that contribute to the sense of perpet…

Transport poverty meets the digital divide
Rural communities face a range of challenges associated with accessibility and connectivity which apply in both the physical and virtual sphere. Constraints in rural transport infrastructure and services are often compounded by limitations in the development and resilience of technological infrastructures. In this context there is significant disparity between urban and rural communities. This paper will examine the context for accessibility and …

Transdisciplinary Research on Cancer-Healing Systems Between Biomedicine and the Maya of Guatemala
Transdisciplinarity (TD) is a participatory research approach in which actors from science and society work closely together. It offers means for promoting knowledge integration and finding solutions to complex societal problems, and can be applied within a multiplicity of epistemic systems. We conducted a TD process from 2011 to 2014 between indigenous Mayan medical specialists from Guatemala and Western biomedical physicians and scientists to s…
Butchery of horse and dog at Witney Palace, Oxfordshire, and the knackering and feeding of meat to hounds during the post-medieval period
Upper levels of deposition associated with Witney manorhouse have yielded dense aggregations of bones which were mainly of horses and dogs. Probably these animals were butchered for their meat and skins. Possibly beginning in the medieval period, the practice reached a peak during the 18th century as occupation of the ruinous large house ceased. Archaeological and historical arguments point to the bones having little connection with normal househ…

Digital innovation through partnership between nature conservation organisations and academia
Nature conservation organisations increasingly turn to new digital technologies to help deliver conservation objectives. This has led to collaborative forms of working with academia to spearhead digital innovation. Through in-depth interviews with three UK research-council-funded case studies, we show that by working with academics conservation organisations can receive positive and negative impacts, some of which cut across their operations. Pos…

II. The Austen Chamberlain-Mussolini Meetings
One of the most fertile grounds for diplomatic and journalistic speculation in the late 1920s was the series of private meetings between Sir Austen Chamberlain and Benito Mussolini. During Sir Austen's tenure of the Foreign Secretary's portfolio, from November 1924 to June 1929, the two met five times in complete privacy, without aides or even interpreters, since both spoke fluent French. The communiqués they subsequently issued were conglomerati…

The Supply of Horses to the Parliamentarian and Royalist Armies in the English Civil War
Charles Reade, Wilkie Collins, and Marcus Clarke
Marcus Clarke's For the Term of His Natural Life is one of the best and has proved one of the most enduringly popular of all the 'sensation novels' of the mid-Victorian period. It is therefore interesting that unpublished letters to Clarke from Charles Reade and Wilkie Collins, the most admired of the elder generation of sensation novelists, are held in the Mitchell Library, Sydney, and that Clarke adapted novels by both Reade and Collins for the…

The Foreign Office and Fascism 1924-1929
It is a truism that a country's foreign policy is based on concern for its national interests; it follows, therefore, that those responsible for making foreign policy decisions look at another country with regard not so much to the ideology of its government, but rather as to whether its foreign policy is compatible with their own national interests. None the less, such decisions are not made in a vacuum, and, consciously or unconsciously, politi…

Labor's Vice-Regal Appointments
The Australian Labor Party's preference for Australian-born Governors-General is well known and of long standing. The decisive breakthrough came with Prime Minister J. H. Scullin's success in securing the appointment of Sir Isaac Isaacs in 1930 against the opposi tion of powerful sections of British and Australian opinion, up to and including King George V.1 In subsequent decades Labor leaders con sistently espoused the principle, which did not b…

Health museums or theme parks
This paper is an outline of a proposed initiative on intersectoral collaboration in health promotion--collaboration between health, tourist, cultural and entertainment sectors to provide a powerful mass educational experience about the human mind and body. There has been a recent rise in interest in using the technology of museums, science centres, exploratories and theme parks for the promotion of health. This revival is shown to have a historic…

Science and Aboriginal Education
In our society success in science is important for students as a means to full participation, empowerment, and access to career/further study options. Science in schools is an area of concern for Aboriginal education because of the low number of Aboriginal students who experience this success.

Dealing in Death
This work examines the ways in which the armies on both sides acquired their arms and equipment during the civil wars in England, Scotland and Ireland. The course of events is appraised in the context of the logistics of arms production and distribution, and whether the needs of each side were satisfied. The author shows how, in terms of logistics, Parliament was in the stronger position: not only did it control the native arms industry, concentr…
