Estimating intra-urban traffic CO2 emissions and assessing environmental justice using smart data
Smart data, defined as digital traces that people leave behind during their daily activities, has an underexplored potential to estimate intra-urban traffic emissions and their implications for environmental justice. Here, we incorporate fine-grained mobility flows from the App (Huq) into the Spatial Weight Matrix (SWM) to predict traffic CO 2 in Glasgow City, UK. The results demonstrate that models based on customized SWM with real mobility bett…
Shakespeare Survey 78
Shakespeare Survey is a yearbook of Shakespeare studies and production. Since 1948, Survey has published the best international scholarship in English and many of its essays have become classics of Shakespeare criticism. Each volume is devoted to a theme, or play, or group of plays; each also contains a section of reviews of that year's textual and critical studies and of the year's major British performances. The theme for Volume 78 is 'Shakespe…
Change
This article gives a musical inflection to Landowski’s socio-semiotics. Starting from the premise that the regimes of interaction model (like the semiotic square itself) is not a classificatory grid but a dynamic model of situated social practices that traverse and combine semiotic styles, I imagine its two typical sensemaking pathways — one articulated around manipulation, the other around adjustment — as respectively narrative and musical semio…
Open science policy guidelines promoting open data sharing in low and middle-income countries for respiratory health research under Nihr Global Respire project
Open science drives progress, especially in the low-and-middle-income countries (LMICs), where data security and confidentiality are at risk due to lack of resources and non-compliance with diverse privacy laws. The National Institutes of Health and Care Research (NIHR) Global Health Research Unit on Respiratory Health (RESPIRE 2) project, funded by the UK NIHR, is a global collaboration led by the University of Edinburgh and Universiti Malaya, i…

Language Diversity and Literature Reviews in Tourism Research
Language bias is a common yet undiscussed practice that can significantly constrain the rigor and generalization of place-based studies and literature reviews. This article discusses how research published in English compared with other languages is considered or not when conducting literature reviews. This research focuses specifically on tourism research and explores specific journal article examples in the contemporary subject area of overtour…
Playing and Playgoing in Early Modern England
This edited collection of essays brings together leading scholars of early modern drama and playhouse culture to reflect upon the study of playing and playgoing in early modern England. With a particular focus on the player-playgoer exchange as a site of dramatic meaning-making, this book offers a timely and significant critical intervention in the field of Shakespeare and early modern drama. Working with and reflecting upon approaches drawn from…
What we meant by that was “let’s do this”. The interpretive metatext as pending account
This paper investigates the use of a semiotic macrostructure called a pending account as an interpretive metatext to configure strategy texts’ motivational affordances and lend authority to deontic claims. Interpretive metatexts tell us what another text means; if they use a pending account to do so, they tell us what it means by telling us what we should do; and they tell us what we should do by telling us what inclines us to act in a certain wa…
The seasonality of infections in tropical Far North Queensland, Australia
An understanding of the seasonality of infections informs public health strategies and assists clinicians in their management of patients with undifferentiated illness. The seasonality of infections is driven by a variety of environmental and human factors; however, the role of individual climatic factors has garnered much attention. This study utilises Poisson regression models to assess the seasonality of six important infections in tropical Au…
Analysis of OpenStreetMap Data Quality at Different Stages of a Participatory Mapping Process
This paper examines OpenStreetMap data quality at different stages of a participatory mapping process in seven slums in Africa and Asia. Data were drawn from an OpenStreetMap-based participatory mapping process developed as part of a research project focusing on understanding inequalities in healthcare access of slum residents in the Global South. Descriptive statistics and qualitative analysis were employed to examine the following research ques…
Sharing expertise with the public’
Storifying routines and routinising stories
This paper uses subject positioning theory to explore how conflicts between autonomy and protection are managed in the justification of controversial care arrangements for patients with mental/neurological illness. Its basic argument is twofold: firstly, to justify or propose care arrangements at strategic or contentious moments, actors position illness as an actant and make it present in talk‐in‐interaction, exploiting alignments and misalignmen…

Impact of the societal response to Covid-19 on access to healthcare for non-Covid-19 health issues in slum communities of Bangladesh, Kenya, Nigeria and Pakistan
INTRODUCTION: With COVID-19, there is urgency for policymakers to understand and respond to the health needs of slum communities. Lockdowns for pandemic control have health, social and economic consequences. We consider access to healthcare before and during COVID-19 with those working and living in slum communities. METHODS: In seven slums in Bangladesh, Kenya, Nigeria and Pakistan, we explored stakeholder perspectives and experiences of healthc…

Political discourse and mobility of worlds
Methodological narrative\institutional dualism was developed as an epistemological strategy to facilitate an approach to the study of political discourse that incorporates figures of disorder into the construction of order. The symmetrization of various theories of narration and argumentation and related analytical research approaches enables an examination of how discursive world-making engages syncretically narrative and argumentative repertoir…
Des réalités construites discursivement
Cet ouvrage a l’ambition de fournir un « exemplier » ou une « anthologie » (selon les termes d’Adele Clarke, auteure de l’avant-propos) pour une approche allemande de l’analyse sociologique du discours qui a émergé au début des années 2000 et s’est diffusée depuis à l’international, puisant dans le travail fondateur de Reiner Keller. Les seize autres auteurs – que l’on pourrait qualifier de tenants ou de continuateurs de la sociologie de la conna…

Discursively constructed realities
This book has the ambition of providing an ‘exemplar’ or ‘reader’ (in the words of Adele Clarke, author of the Foreword) for a German approach to discourse analytical sociology that emerged in the early 2000s and has since spread internationally, based on the foundational work of Reiner Keller. The sixteen other authors – whom we might designate as adopters or developers of the Sociology of Knowledge Approach to Discourse (SKAD), working in a ran…
Imperial Policy
This chapter examines British external policy against the background of the expansion of the British empire up to the end of the First World War and its long and uneven demise thereafter. In exploring the political dimensions of this process of expansion and contraction the chapter aims to explore the complexities of the scholarships and chronologies involved. It evaluates how historians have approached key challenges and critical turning points,…
Creating and implementing local health and wellbeing policy
Background In the UK managers from multiple organisations are commonly tasked with collectively devising and implementing local health and wellbeing policies as a way of addressing increasing demand for healthcare. This requires them to create knowledge together but relatively little is known about how this occurs. This paper reports the results of research into how managers collectively create knowledge in order to address local health and wellb…
From playing to designing
This paper presents research into the benefits and implementation strategies of integrating location-based mobile learning games in higher education courses to enhance educational experiences. Two approaches were studied: learning by playing, and learning by designing. In the first, games were developed for undergraduate courses in four discipline areas, introduced during lectures, and played by students during a tutorial, as a self-guided activi…

If We Cannot Have Both, Then Which Union Do We Choose? Scotland’s Options after ‘Brexit’
In the space of two years, the Scottish electorate has been asked on two separate occasions to declare its position with regard the two unions to which it currently belongs – that of the UK and of the EU. This special interest piece aims to take stock of the mood in Scotland towards Brexit and to consider the various options for Scotland going forward. It is starting to look probable that Scotland will have to go to the polls one last time. If th…

The two faces of EU–Nato cooperation
Maritime engagement in the Gulf of Aden is a puzzling case for anyone interested in the political and institutional problems underlying European Union–North Atlantic Treaty Organization (EU–NATO) cooperation. Although the EU’s operation NAVFOR ‘Atalanta’ and NATO’s ‘Ocean Shield’ operate in the same theatre and with similar mandates, there is no formal link between them. No joint planning has been envisaged, and no official task-sharing takes pla…
Accounting for Taste
L'A. se demande pourquoi les Britanniques boivent peu de cafe. Il s'efforce de comprendre leur attitude en ce domaine. Il presente un certain nombre de donnees collectees concernant les importations de cafe entre 1699 et 1774. Il compare les prix du cafe et du the entre, d'une part, 1664 et 1715 et, d'autre part, 1810 et 1860. Il envisage les importations de ces deux produits entre 1704 et 1784. Il tente de saisir pourquoi la consommation de cafe…
Critically evaluating collaborative research
We argue that critical evaluation achieves the reflexivity needed to facilitate collaboration by proposing boundary-negotiating artefacts to configure a joint action domain. Those objects become mediators for innovation by triggering controversies, conceived preventatively via an organized extension of what Boltanski calls 'truth tests' to 'reality tests' so that they dynamize ongoing affairs. However, critical evaluation must also anticipate act…
Tripartism in the Czech and Slovak Republics
A COMMON FEATURE OF SEVERAL POLITICAL SYSTEMS in post-communist East-Central Europe is the development of a tripartite structure which seeks to integrate social bargaining between business, labour and government into the policy process.1 Such institutions have emerged in Hungary, where they predate the collapse of communist rule, Bulgaria, the Czech and Slovak Republics and Poland. They received substantial initial encouragement from internationa…
Multiple temporalities of knowing in academic research
Based on ethnographic research at five Czech universities from 2011 to 2013, this article explores how academics make sense of and claims to three qualitatively distinct temporal regimes in which their activities as knowledge producers are inscribed: disciplinary time, career time and project time. This conceptual framework, a modification of Shinn's distinction between disciplinary, transitory and transversal knowledge-production regimes, seeks …
Storm Hazard and Slavery
On 11 August 1831, St Vincent was struck by the Great Caribbean Hurricane. Ninety-two out of 96 sugar estates on the island experienced damage to buildings and crops. Destruction varied, however, according to location and the type of structure at risk. Worst affected were the northerly regions of St David and Charlotte's parishes, while slave villages suffered more than mill works or great houses. As a result of the storm the colony's exports fel…
Regional development and post-communist politics in a Czech region
This article links post-communist politics with regional development through an investigation of the formulation of strategic plans at various levels. This is an important activity for compliance with procedures essential to accessing EU financial support, and beyond that, it has significance for the investigation of political relationships. The dominant conclusion is that the communist period and the post-communist transformation left distinctiv…

Traditionalists and Trendies
Questionnaires were sent to 900 secondary school teachers throughout England and Wales; 373 (41%) were returned. Teachers agreed on many issues but opinion was divided on the abolition of the remaining grammar schools and the question of mixed‐ability teaching. Underlying dimensions of traditionalism, belief in equality of the sexes and feminism were identified in teachers' attitudes. Older teachers were more traditional than younger ones, and sc…
Planning for knowledge translation
Researchers are being strongly encouraged to incorporate knowledge translation strategies into their research applications, but there is relatively little clear guidance for them about precisely what this means or how they can achieve it. A previous paper published in this journal addressed those assessing research applications, but there is still a need for guidance aimed at researchers themselves. This paper sets out a proposed guide, which cou…
Social Inclusion at Different Scales in the Urban Environment
As area-based initiatives emphasise community empowerment and social inclusion programmes focus on place, this article compares participation in two ICT programmes in UK cities which sought to empower communities at different scales. Recruitment was better in a neighbourhood-scale project, a scale that enabled access to settings of public familiarity and helping/coping networks. However, the factors that promoted social inclusion during recruitme…

Can Informal e-learning and Peer Support Help Bridge the Digital Divide
The project that we report here provided free home computers and a one-year broadband subscription to a sample of 108 older people diagnosed with coronary heart disease. The sample was divided at random and the experimental group had ‘facilitated learning’, based on access to a dedicated website, while controls did not. The results suggest that many participants needed to overcome their fear of new technology before they could learn how to use it…
An Inspector Calls
John Johnson acted as special visiting attorney for absentee planter James Adam Gordon between 1824 and 1825. In addition to his detailed reports on Gordon's estates in Antigua and St Vincent, Johnson's private journals and correspondence have survived. Through detailed analysis of these records and related source material, it is possible to assess the impact of amelioration policies and review the practical operation of plantation management sys…
Enabling healthy choices
The White Paper Choosing health acknowledges that there is no lack of information in the system about healthy lifestyles, but the manner of communication of risk and the level of support for lifestyle change need improvement. Action also has to be taken to address inequalities in health and to focus on securing better access to healthier choices for people in disadvantaged groups or areas. Accordingly, this randomized controlled trial examined wh…

Interest politics and identity formation in postcommunist societies
In this article we will explore how the Czech and Slovak trade union movements, 1 at both the leadership and grassroots levels, are seeking to reconstruct their collective identities in the post-communist era. This is an important phenomenon in its own right, but also one which has wider implications for the process of democratic consolidation in these two countries. Moreover, since these are the ECE labour movements which have gone furthest in c…

Local Communities and Post-Communist Transformation
This collection of studies grew out of a workshop held in M❼henice near Prague in April 2001, where early versions of the chapters were presented as papers in an informal and relaxed setting which allowed us to devote considerable time to free discussion of a number of related themes. The workshop was hosted by my friend Jiři Holub, lecturer in political science at Charles University in Prague, who has a summer house in M❼henice and is a member o…

Tackling the digital divide
The Internet is increasingly used to communicate health knowledge and there is growing belief that it can help transform both personal and public health. There is no lack of information on healthy lifestyles, but the manner of communication of risk and the level of support for lifestyle change need improvement, especially among deprived populations. Assisting vulnerable persons to increase their health knowledge could help them to be more respons…

Local issues discussion forums in comparative perspective
What would a socially inclusive discussion forum look like, and how inclusive are existing local issues discussion forums? This paper asserts that one needs to refer to normative conceptions of democracy before it is possible to make such an assessment. It is argued that within the hybridized modes of governance of contemporary local communities, various kinds of intermediation often substitute for direct participation. Their occurrence is demons…

Electronic Participation Policies and Initiatives in the European Union Institutions
Electronic participation (eParticipation) is increasingly employed by governments worldwide to broaden and deepen political participation. This is evident from the large number of relevant policy documents, initiatives, and platforms. In Europe, besides national governments, European Union (EU) Institutions are also actively promoting eParticipation. In this article, the authors investigate the eParticipation policies and current initiatives in t…
