Are there lightning fires in the Brazilian Amazon
The Brazilian Amazon contains approximately 40% of the world’s tropical rainforest and plays a critical role in preserving biodiversity and regulating water, energy and carbon cycles. However, deforestation and increasingly frequent droughts, heatwaves and wildfires threaten these rainforests. Amazonian fires are generally assumed to be entirely anthropogenic, which has led to lightning-ignited fires being underexplored. Here, we present the firs…
Impact of the UK’s smokefree generation policy on tobacco-related equity in England
The SFG policy has potential to reduce absolute inequalities among its target population and achieve significant gains in quality and length of life. Achieving reductions in relative inequalities will likely require targeted interventions that lead to greater effectiveness in lower socioeconomic areas and for males
Policing and social media
This article explores the perspectives of police officers and police civilian staff in England who engage with social media as part of their professional practice. It uniquely focuses on how these police professionals use visual tools, namely photographs, videos, emojis, infographics, memes and visual GIFs as part of their communicative police practices. The research is informed by qualitative interviews with police participants. Drawing on persp…

Community Input for Addressing Dementia Health Disparities
Background: The development of the Richmond Brain Health Initiative (RBHI) was guided by the need to address local brain health service gaps to improve Alzheimer's/Dementia health disparities in racially diverse communities. This paper describes the establishment of RBHI through 1) community and provider stakeholder input and 2) community brain health screening/intake development and testing. Methods: Phase 1 involved provider and community stake…
Shooting in the dark’
While participants feel positively towards research, there remains a gap between these perceptions and its use in practice. There remains a need to improve research relevance and accessibility and to clarify its role in decision-making in social care, including where there is no evidence, where evidence challenges existing practice, or where the evidence base is growing. Collaborative partnerships between adult social care organisations, research…
Memory, Trauma and ‘Affective Autonomy’
This article attempts to answer the question of how museums might communicate the affective experience of enslavement, and the history of emotions and slavery, to their audiences. By using the International Slavery Museum, Liverpool as its case study, it answers this question through examining how the museum uses contemporary art in dialogue with archives of historical and modern slavery to make an affective investment in the lives of enslaved pe…
A Matter of Joint Decision’
Formally concluded by the British prime minister, Harold Macmillan, and the US president, Dwight D. Eisenhower, in June 1958, the Murphy–Dean Agreement was an important aspect of the Anglo-American nuclear relationship during the Cold War but has not yet been the subject of any detailed historical scholarship. Updated and reaffirmed by a succession of prime ministers and presidents, the Agreement’s sensitive but now declassified contents outlined…
Outcome harvesting as a methodology for the retrospective evaluation of small-scale community development interventions
PURPOSE: Undertaking evaluations of public health interventions can be problematic, particularly where there are multiple stakeholders and high degrees of complexity. This is especially true with regards to the evaluation of community interventions that can include multiple actors with differing priorities, budgets and resources. Using the example of a place-based community wellbeing project, this paper discusses the practical application of 'Out…
A hydroalcoholic extract of Senecio nutans SCh. Bip (Asteraceae); its effects on cardiac function and chemical characterization
In normotensive animals, S. nutans partially reduces MAP by decreasing heart rate and cardiac contractility. This negative inotropy is accounted for by decreased SERCA activity and increased NCX activity which reduces SR Ca 2+ content. These results highlight the plant's potential as a source of novel cardio-active phytopharmaceuticals or nutraceuticals
Avoiding methane emission rate underestimates when using the divergence method
Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas, and a primary target for mitigating climate change in the short-term future due to its relatively short atmospheric lifetime and greater ability to trap heat in Earth’s atmosphere compared to carbon dioxide. Top-down observations of atmospheric methane are possible via drone and aircraft surveys as well as satellites such as the TROPOspheric Monitoring Instrument (TROPOMI). Recent work has begun to apply the …
Facilitators of and barriers to Covid-19 vaccination in Grenada
Objectives. To identify the factors contributing to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine hesitancy in Grenada. Methods. A phenomenological study was conducted using semi-structured interviews at vaccination and pop-up testing clinics during a spike in COVID-19 cases on the island. Interview questions were developed using the health belief model related to perceived threat of COVID-19, perceived benefits of and barriers to COVID-19 vaccinat…
Proximity-based evidence disclosure
Studying evidence disclosure methods in laboratory-based settings provides important contributions to evidence-based interview practices. However, methods developed through controlled testing need to be adapted to an operational context to ensure appropriate use in practice. The present project synthesized laboratory research on evidence disclosure and practical experience of homicide and robbery investigations to identify an operational purpose …
Police station meaning, closure and (in)visibility
This article considers the visual symbolism of policing as reflected by the presence or absence of police stations.The focus is England where recent years have witnessed a prolonged period of police station closure.The article draws on interviews with police estate managers and considers their reasons given for closure and consequent impact on visibility.The discussion is influenced by visual criminology and semiotics, as well as the concept of t…

Enhanced monitoring of atmospheric methane from space over the Permian basin with hierarchical Bayesian inference
Methane is a strong greenhouse gas, with a higher radiative forcing per unit mass and shorter atmospheric lifetime than carbon dioxide. The remote sensing of methane in regions of industrial activity is a key step toward the accurate monitoring of emissions that drive climate change. Whilst the TROPOspheric Monitoring Instrument (TROPOMI) on board the Sentinal-5P satellite is capable of providing daily global measurement of methane columns, data …
Maintaining police-citizen relations on social media during the Covid-19 pandemic
Despite a growing body of recent literature that has examined the role of the police during the COVID-19 pandemic, little is known about police approaches to citizen-engagement on social media in England. Accordingly, this paper draws on robust qualitative research conducted with police officers and staff across England who utilised either official, semi-official, or unofficial police social media accounts. The paper illustrates how they understo…
Visible policing
This article contributes to contemporary criminological debates on police visibility by exploring the relationship between police uniforms, artefacts and occupational identity. The article is influenced by visual criminology and semiotics and draws on elicitation interviews with officers and staff from four English police services. Participants were asked to bring with them an object or image that they identified as being an important expression …
End of Empire and the Bomb
This article focuses on the repercussions of remarks made by Duncan Sandys, the British Minister of Defence, at a press conference held in Canberra in August 1957 which suggested that British nuclear weapons were going to be deployed to airbases in Malaya. Against the background of the negotiations that had led to the Anglo-Malayan defence agreement, and with Malaya on the cusp of independence, an intense debate took place between Whitehall offic…
Impact of the national home safety equipment scheme ‘Safe At Home’ on hospital admissions for unintentional injury in children under 5
BACKGROUND: Unintentional home injuries are a leading cause of preventable death in young children. Safety education and equipment provision improve home safety practices, but their impact on injuries is less clear. Between 2009 and 2011, a national home safety equipment scheme was implemented in England (Safe At Home), targeting high-injury-rate areas and socioeconomically disadvantaged families with children under 5. This provided a 'natural ex…
The Blue-Eyed Boys’
Many accounts of Anglo-American relations during the early 1970s stress the tensions with Washington that marked the premiership of Edward Heath, as Britain moved to become a member of the European Economic Community, with particular attention given to the Year of Europe dispute during 1973. Over the issue of the American war in Vietnam, however, Heath’s Conservative Government stood out from other West European states in offering a grateful Nixo…
Influenza A Virus Infection in Cats and Dogs
Influenza A viruses are amongst the most challenging viruses that threaten both human and animal health. Constantly evolving and crossing species barrier, the emergence of novel zoonotic pathogens is one of the greatest challenges to global health security. During the last decade, considerable attention has been paid to influenza virus infections in dogs, as two canine H3N8 and H3N2 subtypes caused several outbreaks through the United States and …
Disabled young people’s hopes and dreams in a rapidly changing society
The idea that disabled young people should be at the centre of decision making about their future is promoted in policy, practice and research, yet this often translates into a narrow agenda on transitions through service and benefits systems. In this project, we aimed for an expansive exploration of disabled young people’s hopes and dreams in the context of unprecedented societal changes. Co-production methods brought academics, members of a Cen…
Honourable Members and Dishonourable Deeds
The general assumption of consonance between belief and action in individual and organizational behaviour has meant that relatively little attention is paid in the organizational literature to how individuals and organizations respond to allegations of belief/act discrepancy. In this article we identify three forms of response to such allegations, self-deception, hypocrisy and scapegoating, and suggest how they may be interrelated. It is proposed…
A Decision Delayed
This article seeks to explore the background to the Wilson Government's decisions of 1967‐68 to pull back British forces from South East Asia and leave the Singapore base. It challenges assumptions that this was a reluctant step on the part of several Labour ministers, who some have alleged were wedded to a sentimental and romantic attachment to a British ‘world power’ role. Instead, by analysing official thinking behind the creation of Malaysia …

Twenty years on
Twenty years ago Mark Burke's pioneering research into homosexuality and policing evidenced widespread prejudice and hostility toward lesbian, gay and bisexual police officers in nine forces across England and Wales. These serving officers were felt to represent the most serious kind of contamination and threat to the integrity of the British Police Service by their heterosexual colleagues. Twenty years on this research, which represents one of t…

Unclear physics
In addition to exploring why certain states seek to develop nuclear weapons (and why some choose not to pursue such an option), a key question for those interested in nuclear proliferation is why some weapons programmes—despite the aspirations of strong political leaders with apparently ample resources under their command—did not succeed, or were stymied, in reaching their goals. The invasion and occupation of Iraq in 2003, followed by Muammar Ga…
Anglo-American relations after Suez, the rise and decline of the working group experiment, and the french challenge to Nato, 1957-59
This article explores the establishment of a number of Anglo-American working groups at the Washington Conference of October 1957, and explains how the British regarded the groups as an attempt to institutionalize the principle of consultation in Anglo-American relations. American and British officials were anxious that the existence of the groups be kept secret for fear that they would be a cause of resentment to other close allies. De Gaulle's …
Chantal Mouffe's Agonistic Project
It is Chantal Mouffe's contention that the central weakness of consensus-driven forms of liberalism, such as John Rawls’ political liberalism and Jürgen Habermas’ deliberative democracy, is that they refuse to acknowledge conflict and pluralism, especially at the level of the ontological. Their defence for doing so is that conflict and pluralism are the result of attempts to incorporate unreasonable and irrational claims into the public political…
Great Britain, the United States, and Consultation Over Use of the Atomic Bomb, 1950–1954
The subject of when nuclear weapons might have to be employed by the United States during the early Cold War period was the setting for a prolonged and uneasy dialogue within the Anglo-American relationship. While British governments pressed for a formal agreement that there should be prior consultation before the atomic bomb was ever used, the Americans were determined to retain the freedom to take this crucial decision alone. This article explo…

Modifying the marsh
The ecological impacts of human activities have infiltrated the whole of the ‘natural world’ and precipitated calls for a newly defined geological epoch – the Anthropocene. While scholars discuss tipping-points and scale, viewed over the longue durée, it is becoming clear that we have inherited the compounding consequences of a constructed environment with a long history of human landscape modification. By linking phytolith and micro-charcoal evi…

Development gain? Participant observation in interpretive management information systems research
This article provides a critical assessment of the potential of participant observation as an interpretive data-gathering method for management information systems (MIS) research by drawing on a participant observation study of Executive Information Systems development. It identifies a range of issues with respect to participant observation in MIS research that may also be an integral part of reflective research practice for any field researcher
Targeting China
This article assesses how the U.S. National Security Council, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the Strategic Air Command (SAC)—devised highly classified plans for nuclear war against the People's Republic of China (PRC) in the period after the July 1953 Korean armistice. The Eisenhower administration was seeking to rely more heavily on nuclear weapons in East Asia. Important differences of opinion emerged during intra- and interagency debates on th…
The Radford Bombshell
This article looks at the emergence of nuclear planning assumptions within the South East Asia Treaty Organization (SEATO) during the mid-1950s. It does so by examining US strategic concepts for the defence of the treaty area, and the ways these produced major problems for the Australian Government as it switched the emphasis in its defence policy toward a permanent commitment of forces to the South East Asian mainland. At the same time, Britain …

Inter-Agency Co-Operation and Community-Based Crime Prevention
The role of 'inter-agency' co-operation in the sphere of crime prevention has been promoted increasingly by central and local government policy initiatives in recent years. In this paper we consider a number of theoretical issues raised by the examination of power relations in interorganizational contexts and the definitional processes through which local crime 'problems' are identified and translated into policies and practice.

Windows on the world
During the 1960s, European cinema became increasingly available to British audiences. The expansion of university film societies and art-house cinemas meant that domestic and US productions, which made up the vast majority of films screened in this country, were now in competition with the work of directors such as Bergman, Fellini and Truffaut. Using responses from nearly a thousand participants in an investigation of cultural memory and British…

Kennedy, Johnson, and the Nonaligned World
The principal argument advanced by Robert B. Rakove's thoughtful study of U.S. policy toward the nonaligned world is that concerted efforts were made by the Kennedy administration to engage in positive fashion some of its main actors, such as India, Indonesia, and Egypt, in the early 1960s, but this policy was not sustained under Kennedy's successor, Lyndon B. Johnson. Many books have analyzed the bilateral relations between Washington, D.C., and…

The Potential of Decision Analysis as a Means of Integrating the Environment into Energy Policy Decisionmaking
In recent years, environmental concern has been an increasingly important issue in energy policy decisionmaking. This has been paralleled by rising expectations of public involvement in major policy decisions with significant environmental impacts. However, existing mechanisms for incorporating these concerns in policy formulation and decisionmaking are widely recognised as unsatisfactory. In order to identify the nature of the debate on issues o…

Kirkholt Revisited
Little attention has been paid to the transferability of ‘successful’ crime prevention projects. The Kirkholt Burglary Prevention Project has been hailed by academics (Forrester et al. 1988, 1990; Bottoms 1990) and policy‐makers (Burns 1990; Home Office 1990) as one of the most successful crime prevention projects undertaken in the UK. In this paper we report on an ethnographic research case study of a crime prevention project which sought to tra…

Conflict and Confrontation in South East Asia, 1961–1965
In the early 1960s, Britain and the United States were still trying to come to terms with the powerful forces of indigenous nationalism unleashed by the Second World War. The Indonesia-Malaysia confrontation - a crisis which was, as Macmillan remarked to Kennedy, 'as dangerous a situation in Southeast Asia as we have seen since the war' - was a complex test of Anglo-American relations. As American commitment to Vietnam accelerated under the Kenne…

U.S. Relations with Indonesia, the Kennedy-Johnson Transition, and the Vietnam Connection, 1963-1965
In the first two decades of the Cold War in Asia, the sprawling archipelago of Indonesia, because of its physical size, large population, strategic location, and valuable natural resources, occupied an important place in the calculations of U.S. policymakers. Indonesian alignment with the so-called communist bloc, it was often feared, could outflank the line of containment that ran through mainland Southeast Asia in Indochina and Thailand and den…
