The Politics of Measurement in the Age of Localization
How should we measure reconciliation after conflict when trying to achieve localization? This article examines a fundamental tension in international aid: the push for localization-the idea that aid is more effective when it is driven by communities themselves-versus the growing reliance on global metrics to assess progress. While international organizations and national governments use Global Performance Indicators and similar standardized metri…
Measures of Justice
Quantification is a technology of control, but whether it is reformist or authoritarian depends on who has harnessed its power and for what purposes.-Sally Engle Merry, The Seductions of Quantification (2016, 218) Professor Sally Engle Merry's thought-provoking scholarship has reached far beyond her disciplinary boundaries in anthropology and influenced our own work as human rights and peace and conflict studies scholars.On a daily basis, through…
Reimagining Public Safety
In the context of a national movement to defund police departments, many American cities are starting to reimagine public safety, as activists demand new practices that maintain safety while minimizing harm, as well as ensuring accountability when harms occur. Drawing on Everyday Peace Indicators methodologies, we argue that “community-centered” measurement, combined with researcher-practitioner partnerships, can help move both researchers and po…
The Paradox of Justice
Transitional justice lacks a coherent framework for articulating the relationship between distributive and corrective justice. Academic debates remain largely normative, focused on whether and how transitional justice should distinguish itself from the realm of the social, economic, and cultural. Where there is a bridge between legal logics and lived realities, it generally happens through victims’ consultation, but these are often thinly designe…
Images and indicators
Participatory methods seek to counter the extractive nature of mainstream research methods by putting control into the hands of research subjects. But participation itself does not guarantee against extraction. There is a tension between the desire for researcher-control and the prerogative of community action in participatory methods. How can researchers committed to participation manage this tension? In this paper, we draw on the concepts of “c…
Readers’ processing of perceptual perspective and stance
We argue that to understand how readers process narrative, it is necessary to distinguish between psychological stance (i.e., how the narrator evaluates events and characters) and physical perspective (i.e., the angle of view from which events are described). Although these are metaphorically related, the cognitive processes that produce such a connection remain elusive. Here, we provide an analysis of a focal-character heuristic that allows read…
Distraction and Temporal Order in Narrative Situation Models
Narrative comprehension requires the allocation of resources to the construction of a situation model describing the events and circumstances in the narrative. While mind wandering, fewer resources may be devoted to this task. In the present research, we assessed whether the effects of distraction on memory for narrative event order are qualitatively similar to those of mind wandering. In two experiments, participants read passages, sometimes wit…
Mind Wandering, Noncontingent Processing, and Recall in Reading
In the present research, we attempted to manipulate noncontingent processing in reading, that is, mental activities not dependent on processing the words of the text. An important class of noncontingent processing is mind wandering, but noncontingent processing may include other task-related activities as well. In our study, participants read stories sentence by sentence, and we manipulated the interval between sentences. In the immediate conditi…

Readers' Knowledge of Popular Genre
This research examined readers' knowledge of popular genres. Participants wrote short essays on fantasy, science fiction, or romance. The similarities among the essays were measured using latent semantic analysis (LSA) and were then analyzed using multidimensional scaling and cluster analysis. The clusters and scales were interpreted by searching for lexical neighbors in the LSA space. The results indicated that there were 4 main types of essays:…
Linking National and Multi-regional Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) Models
Dixon P. B., Madden J. R. and Rimmer M. T. Linking national and multi-regional computable general equilibrium (CGE) models: the effects of an increase in award wage rates in Australia, Regional Studies. Wages for 20% of Australian workers are set by awards, reviewed annually in a centralized legal process. For the 2005 review, the economy-wide and regional effects of increases in awards were modelled. A top-down approach in which results from a n…

Drink and the Professional Footballer in 1890s England and Ireland
Alcohol played many roles in the life of the late Victorian footballer. While the licensed trade and the brewing industry provided much of the initial financial backing for the professional game, the direct relationship between players and drink was more problematic. The early professional was regularly cast as a drunkard in the press, and sometimes with good reason. However this may be the result of class prejudice and the failure of the middle-…

Text Is Not Communication
In much of the theoretical analyses of text processing, it is assumed that text should be thought of as a form of communication between the author and the reader. This conception is analogous to the communicative model used for analyzing conversation. We argue that this text-as-communication model is inappropriate for many forms of written discourse and for fictional narrative in particular. Unlike oral communication, the author is not physically…
A treatment trade‐off based decision aid for patients with locally advanced non‐small cell lung cancer
Purpose To describe the structure and use of a decision aid for patients with locally advanced non‐small cell lung cancer (LA‐NSCLC) who are eligible for combined‐modality treatment (CMT) or for radiotherapy alone (RT). Methods The aid included a structured description of the treatment options and trade‐off exercises designed to help clarify the patient’s values for the relevant outcomes by determining the patient’s survival advantage threshold (…

Insecticide Requirements in an Efficient Agricultural Sector
EVER since the publication of Rachel Carson's famous book, Silent Spring (1962), insecticide pollution has been an important public issue. As well as naturalists and medical researchers, economists have joined the discussion. They have rightly claimed that insecticide usage is an economic phenomenon, and they have proceeded to estimate the costs and production losses from total or partial bans.' In this paper, we consider the possibility of reduc…

Dryland salinity in a subcatchment at Glenthompson, Victoria
Dryland salinity is a widespread and serious environmental problem in western Victoria. As a result river environs and farmland have been seriously degraded with loss of habitat, reduced farm production and increased erosion. Until recently, the preferred method of salinity investigation was centred around expensive drilling programs to obtain information on groundwater provinces. More recently, electromagnetic surveys have provided the means of …
