Struggling with Citational Politics as a Pathway to Unlearning and Relearning for Collective Action
There is a growing movement committed to the values of equitable and just citation, but the material practices of altering citational politics are more challenging. For instance, researchers in the Global South are under-cited, but how many citations are enough to correct this bias? How do we best determine when an author is from the Global South to begin with? We present a case study where social and natural science researchers (the authors) spe…
Humberside enhanced resettlement service (Hers) evaluation report
The Humberside Enhanced Resettlement Service (HERS) was a psychologically informed, supported accommodation service for people on probation whose presentation is consistent with personality disorder. An evaluation, utilising semi-structured interviews, identified four themes of experience for people on probation and their probation practitioners who worked with HERS: (1) relationships; (2) practical support; (3) expectations, and (4) risk. This s…
Development and refinement of a corner-based injury prevention programme for Latino day labourers
Objective: Latino day labourers (LDLs) in the USA are at increased risk for non-fatal and fatal occupational injuries, which are compounded by stressors that include wage theft, job insecurity and discrimination. This paper describes the development and refinement of Vales+Tú (You are Worthy of More), an injury prevention programme currently being evaluated as part of a cluster randomised trial in which health promotion is taken directly to the '…
Reflecting on Our Times
We present this brief reflection on key aspects of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the implications of the worldwide focus on achieving the sustainable development goals as external observers of the evaluation endeavor around the world. We have conducted and participated in evaluations, but it is not our primary field of work and we are not engaged in the global community of evaluation specialists. However, we believe that the urg…

Morphological responses of the Wax Lake Delta, Louisiana, to Hurricanes Rita
This study examines the morphodynamic response of a deltaic system to extreme weather events. The Wax Lake Delta (WLD) in Louisiana, USA, is used to illustrate the impact of extreme events (hurricanes) on a river-dominated deltaic system. Simulations using the open source Delft3D model reveal that Hurricane Rita, which made landfall 120 km to the west of WLD as a Category 3 storm in 2005, caused erosion on the right side and deposition on the lef…

Exploring the Digital Divide in an Australian Regional City
The ‘digital divide’ is generally considered to be the gap between people who have access to information and communication technologies (ICT) and those who do not, and an issue of significant social justice. This paper presents findings from research that explored the digital divide within the regional city of Albury. The study focused on assessing whether there was a digital divide; identifying strategies to address any divide; and developing a …
Codeine Cough Syrup Use Among African-American Crack Cocaine Users
While studies show evidence of a clear problem with the prevalence of crack cocaine and codeine cough syrup use separately, the relationship between these substances of abuse and concurrent polydrug use is unknown. In an attempt to ascertain beyond anecdotal evidence, the authors carried out a cross-sectional study among 482 African-American crack users to investigate the differences between those who were concurrently codeine cough syrup users a…
Sex, Drugs, Violence, and HIV Status Among Male-to-Female Transgender Persons in Houston, Texas
To inform the Community Planning Group (Houston, Texas) in setting HIV-prevention priorities, risk behavior surveys were completed by 67 male-to-female (MtF) transgender persons. By self-identification, 58% were preoperative and 48% were self-described heterosexual women. We found this small sample of male-to-female transgender individuals to have high rates of HIV infection, and high prevalence of risky behaviors, intimate partner violence, and …
Condom use self‐efficacy among U.S.‐ and foreign‐born Latinos in Texas
The objective of this study was to assess the influence of condom use self-efficacy on the reported condom use of Latinos. We conducted a rapid needs assessment study among U.S. and foreign-born Latinos living in Houston, TX, to identify behavioral and psychosocial factors that influence their risk for HIV. Bilingual Latino interviewers conducted confidential face-to-face interviews with individuals living in apartment complexes or residential ar…
Some excavations on the line of the Antonine Wall, 1994-2001
The results of over thirty separate excavations and watching briefs along the line of the Antonine Wall are presented. The alignment and character of the frontier works and fort defences were clarified in several places. New information was obtained regarding a possible enclosure on the north side of the Wall near Auchendavy. Material includes
Excavation of a Neolithic occupation site at Chepelfield, Cowie, Stirling

Excavation of 10th-century burials at Chapelhall, Innellan, Argyll, 1994
This paper describes results of salvage excavations undertaken on the remains of an early medieval cemetery at Chapelhall, Innellan, Argyll, in 1994.The limited excavations revealed a total of nine burials located in four trenches on a house building site.The graves indicate the existence of a late 10th-century burial ground associated with the site of a known chapel c 10 m to the north.At least three long cist burials were recognized, two of whi…
Originality and its Limits in the Alexander Sources of the Early Empire
This chapter contextualises the major accounts of Alexander the Great's reign that were produced in the early empire and considers the writers' aspirations, their treatment of fashionable motifs and current issues, and the limits of their originality. The focal figure in the story of Rome's emergence as the dominant ‘world’ power was Pompey, but the Caearian coups made it difficult for historians to avoid demonstrating or betraying their attitude…
Excavations on the Leven, Loudoun Hill, Ayrshire, 1993
Rescue excavations at Loudoun Hill Quarry revealed the remains of timber structures, defined as pits and postholes in the subsoil. A primary phase of activity was represented by two pits which are tentatively dated to the early Neolithic period by association with artefactual and botanical evidence. The second phase of occupation at the site was represented by the construction of a double palisaded enclosure. A third phase of activity is postulat…

The Aghia Kyriaki, Melos survey
The industrial minerals (IM) of antiquity, the ‘earths’ of the Classical sources, have for long eluded the archaeological record because of the limited material evidence they leave behind in the course of their extraction and processing. The extensive references in Classical and medieval literature and travellers' accounts have never previously been followed up by detailed surveys and by scientific analysis. In the course of April–May 1998 archae…
Investigating Burnt Mounds in Clydesdale during Motorway Construction
Two small burnt mounds were excavated as part of the programme to mitigate the impact of motorway construction in the Crawford area. The excavations followed a research strategy designed to address questions of date and function. This paper surveys the various competing theories about burnt mounds and how the archaeological evidence was evaluated against those theories. Both sites produced radiocarbon dates from the Bronze Age and evidence to sug…
