Mapping critical minerals projects and their intersection with Indigenous peoples' land rights in Australia
Vastly increased quantities of minerals and metals are needed to scale up renewable energy technologies. Indigenous peoples globally are voicing concerns about how this will affect the speed and scale of mining and renewable energy development on their lands and territories. In this paper, we delineate areas of Australia where Indigenous peoples' interests in land are formally recognised under legislation. These areas are overlayed with critical …
Interprofessional collaborations in child welfare
This study investigated the experiences of providers collaborating with child welfare workers using the Quality of Collaboration with Child Welfare (Q-CCW) survey. The findings reveal a significant misalignment between the perceived importance of collaboration and providers' actual satisfaction levels. Despite high valuations of collaboration, participants from a range of professions expressed dissatisfaction with the responsivity and professiona…
Multidimensional poverty and small-scale mining in the shadow of large-scale mines in Papua New Guinea
Impersonalisation
In this paper I argue that ‘personalisation’ is a rebranding policy that has had three effects: to disguise deep structural faults in the organisation, funding and practice of social care; to deceive the population into assuming (until they come to need it) that personalised social care exists, and to systematically undermine and destroy what remains of truly personal, relationship based care in communities. I give numerous examples of the ways i…
Land relations, resource extraction and displacement effects in island Papua New Guinea
We examine the relationship between dispossession, customary land relations, and involuntary displacement. Attention to customary land relations is the key to understanding how some households experience the extremities of extractive capitalism. By decoupling involuntary displacement from the acquisition of land, it is possible to surface indirect or secondary effects that are otherwise illegible. We conclude that 'messy' land relations and dispu…

A global reference for human genetic variation
The 1000 Genomes Project set out to provide a comprehensive description of common human genetic variation by applying whole-genome sequencing to a diverse set of individuals from multiple populations. Here we report completion of the project, having reconstructed the genomes of 2,504 individuals from 26 populations using a combination of low-coverage whole-genome sequencing, deep exome sequencing, and dense microarray genotyping. We characterized…
Agency and the « Avatar » narrative at the Porgera gold mine, Papua New Guinea
The Porgera gold mine in Papua New Guinea is a subject of contention in the international development community. Anthropologists are among a range of scholars who have investigated community-mine relations since 1981, as solo postgraduate students, as leaders of university research teams, as members of social impact assessment teams, and as members of an oversight body. Recently, in a leading journal, the ngo activist Catherine Coumans accused th…
Milieu‐therapy With Children
Milieu-therapy With Children: Planned Environmental Therapy in Scandinavia By Kornerup Hans ( ed .) Lejre, Denmark : Perikon , 2009 ISBN 8788503569 , 369 pp, £27.00 (hb) (distributed by NCB ) In my ignorance, I have always made the assumption that residential childcare in Scandinavia would not be afflicted by the absurd and destructive government u-turns and reorganisations, and professional fads and fashions that British children’s homes have su…
Workers' Compensation
Studies using pre-1990 data generally found benefit and frequency elasticities for workers' compensation cash benefits that exceeded, respectively, 1.0 and 0: an increase in expected benefits apparently induced (a) an even greater increase in actual benefit payments and (b) an increase in claim frequency. Researchers previously hypothesized that incentive effects for workers dominated those for employers. The authors of this study reevaluate bene…
Culture and Sustainable Development in the Pacific
Throughout the South Pacific, notions of 'culture' and 'development' are very much alive-in political debate, the media, sermons, and endless discussions amongst villagers and the urban élites, even in policy reports
The Anthropology of Personal Identity
This paper discusses large‐scale genealogical work at three projects in Papua New Guinea, West Papua and Australia and considers three questions: in what respects is genealogy intellectual property (IP) and, if so, who owns it; what were the regimes of permissions that permitted the collection of genealogical knowledge in each of the three cases; and what duty of care do collectors/curators of genealogical knowledge have in respect of preservatio…
Fratricide and inequality
This paper contrasts models of increasing social integration in the central valleys of the New Guinea highlands advanced by Watson, Modjeska and Golson with that of a society constructed entirely differently at the eastern end of the central mountain chain, that of the Upper Watut of Morobe Province. Watut settlements were traditionally locked into a cycle of fission, foundation and accretion caused by the inability of lineage mates to live toget…
Workers' Compensation
Thomason, Schmidle, and Burton make use of a unique data set to delve into how insurance arrangements affect several objectives of the workers' compensation (WC) program. They underscore the effects of deregulation and other changes in WC insurance pricing arrangements by performing empirical analyses that use state-specific cost, benefit, and injury data from 48 states for 1975-1995. This allows them to address the interactive relationships amon…
Initial sequencing and analysis of the human genome
The human genome holds an extraordinary trove of information about human development, physiology, medicine and evolution. Here we report the results of an international collaboration to produce and make freely available a draft sequence of the human genome. We also present an initial analysis of the data, describing some of the insights that can be gleaned from the sequence.

International Examination of Medical-Legal Aspects of Work Injuries
Conflict Resolution
From earliest times human societies, like those which proceeded them, have been subject to rule by the relatively strong. In contemporary legal terms there have been "those who have a right to rule, and others who have an obligation to obey." Feudal societies, then industrial societies, had structures that reflected these we-they relationships based on relative power
The Competitive Order or Ordered Competition
This article contrasts the principles and prescriptions behind the UK model of utility regulation in the post–privatization period with its workings in actual practice, focusing in particular on the case of the telecommunications services industry as an exemplar of the broader picture. It diagnoses that the system has not evolved, as its primary architect (Littlechild) prescribed, into the rule – where feasible – of the competitive order in UK ut…

Quarrying in a tribal society
The organisation of a recently used stone axe factory in the Papua New Guinea highlands is examined with respect to the concept of chiefdoms and the emergence of centralised societies in the archaeological record. The case of the Tungei illustrates the fact that acephalous tribal societies can mobilise a large workforce for co‐operative, economic ventures. It is shown that a well‐suited ideology helped a great deal to prevent the quarrying effort…

A Proposed New Classification System for Musical Instruments
While there have been many attempts to produce a satisfactory scheme for the classification of musical instruments, all in some respects, and some in many respects, fall short of the ideal. Properly speaking, and as scientists understand the term, a classification is a system into which facts can be integrated in order to show their relationships and their affinities. The Hornbostel and Sachs Systematik (1914) comes nearest to being such a classi…

The Qur'ān and the Islamic practice of Wuḍū
It might appear that the Qur'ān does not establish the wuḍū', or 'lesser ablution'. It mentions only ġasl and tayammum the distinction between which is most clearly expressed in Q. 4: 43:Do not approach the [place of] prayer when you are befuddled, until you know what you are saying, nor in a state of ritual impurity (junub)-except for those merely passing through [the place of prayer]-until you have cleansed yourselves (taūtasilū); and if you sh…

XXVII. Extract of two Letters from Dr . John Burton, of York, to Dr. Ducarel, concerning Roman Antiquities discovered in Yorkshire, 1770
Since the consular coin of Marius was found, there have been other Roman coins dug up near the same place. Lately also several urns and Roman coins, about three miles east by north of Horden. Also in digging lately about a mile south of York for gravel, many pieces of urns were found, some of a beautiful red clay; some were impressed with letters. Mr. Smith, of New Buildings, near Thirsk, is very assiduous in searching after Roman antiquities, an…

Excavation of a standing stone at Deepdale, Stromness, Orkney
During the winter of 1976-7, the larger of two standing stones 2.75 km SW of the Ring of Brodgar became loosened during ploughing and was removed by the farmer, Mr B Reid.Shortly afterwards a local teacher, Mr S Firth, noticed the loss and informed the Orkney Heritage Society.Accordingly it
A Factorial Study of the Moral Content Components Test
The Moral Content Components Test was administered to 425 students enrolled at Brigham Young and Iowa State Universities and their parents. Through a factor analysis it was found that the eight component scales described by Boyce and Jensen could be reduced to three factors. The three moral content factors were Act, Rule, and Deontological orientations. These three factors are viewed as the fundamental units of the theoretical model proposed by B…
Inflation and electoral competition
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the notion that liberal democracies are more prone to inflation than other types of regime. In this section we establish the context of this research by briefly rehearsing some of the main themes in the literature on the political economy of inflation. Sections II and III deal with the analytical methods employed in this paper and the results of these analyses respectively. In our Conclusion we re-exami…

The Sociopolitical Analysis of Global Inflation
One variant of the influential sociopolitical model of inflation is examined, a version distinguished by its econometric testable form and its use of relative deprivation as a principal efficient cause of global inflation. Hence its relevance to the contemporary debate on the nature and origins of the inflationary process. Specifically, the model postulates that the rate of inflation in a country is inversely related to its level of per capita in…
