Perceptions of Academic Malpractice are not Always Biased by Halo Effects
The attractiveness halo effect has been discussed for over a century. Physically attractive people are often judged more favourably and accrue many life advantages. Halo effects have been observed in university settings for decades, but perhaps their influence is waning due to increased awareness of unconscious bias. The first study examined judgments of students accused of academic malpractice. Undergraduate student participants ( N = 302) compl…
Spaceport Cornwall
This article explores conflicting environmental imaginaries that have surfaced around the development of Spaceport Cornwall, a satellite launch site in South West England. Spaceport Cornwall is significant for foregrounding environmental responsibility as a key promise of its development. In press releases they highlight that they are the first spaceport to carry out a full carbon impact assessment of their operations. They also present satellite…
The Spirit of Soul Food
Christopher Carter makes several compelling arguments in The Spirit of Soul Food: Race, Faith, and Food Justice. One is that soul food is more than just a cuisine used for daily consumption and nourishment; rather, it serves to preserve all aspects of the African American/African diaspora from the colonial period to present-day United States. Carter bolsters this argument by framing soul food through its origins in West Africa and by examining th…

As visions of the end-times accelerate under neoliberal capitalism, corporations and governments are moving their valuable digital data into that most iconic end-of-the-world architecture: the nuclear bunker. This article traces the rise of the bunker as a prominent architectural form for the industrial storage of data. In doing so, it introduces the concept of ‘data preparedness’ to explore one way that data centres and cloud back-up providers s…
Future‐proof
Abandoned after the Cold War, nuclear bunkers around the world have found afterlives as ultra‐secure data storage sites for cloud computing providers. The operators of these bunkered data centres capitalize on the spatial, temporal, and material security affordances of their subterranean fortresses, promoting them as ‘future‐proof’ cloud storage solutions. Taking the concept of ‘future‐proofing’ as its entry‐point, this essay explores how data ce…
Space Weather as a Threat to Critical Infrastructure
A. R. E. Taylor invites us to reconceptualize what counts as space infrastructure, as new attentiveness to cosmic weather conditions among security actors brings ground-based critical infrastructures into circulation with the electromagnetic energies of the Solar System
Worldwide trends in diabetes since 1980
BACKGROUND: One of the global targets for non-communicable diseases is to halt, by 2025, the rise in the age-standardised adult prevalence of diabetes at its 2010 levels. We aimed to estimate worldwide trends in diabetes, how likely it is for countries to achieve the global target, and how changes in prevalence, together with population growth and ageing, are affecting the number of adults with diabetes. METHODS: We pooled data from population-ba…
A Critical Approach to Human Growth & Development
Students of various ages and life stages, from a range of sociological contexts, with all manner of lived experiences are drawn to social work education and training. This assemblage of students can result in groupings which are richly diverse—learning landscapes that offer fresh insights, exposure to difference and access to change. Equally, social work education and training can evoke intra- and interpersonal conflicts, as students are presente…

Follow-up semi-structured interviews were carried out with the fifty social workers responsible for completing these assessments. Particular focus was given to investigating the use of experiential and analytical decision making and the effects of case and environmental characteri…
P2-303 Development of predictive equations for DXA measures of adiposity in an Indian population
Introduction Predictive equations for DXA measures of total and abdominal adiposity from simple anthropometry for an Indian population will enable more accurate estimates of adiposity to be derived in other studies. Methods Using 1230 men and 636 women from Hyderabad, India, multiple linear regression was performed to generate predictive equations for DXA measures of total body fat (grams) and total abdominal fat in the L1–L4 intervertebral regio…
SP1-66 Chronic disease in specific populations
Introduction The rising prevalence of chronic diseases in Australia is a significant challenge to both healthcare systems and the population. While it is the older population that is, the primary focus of chronic disease prevention programs, other population groups are also significantly affected by these conditions and present a challenge to governments and healthcare professionals alike. Factors that influence the development of chronic disease…

The Inside Text
SMS or Text is one of the most popular forms of messaging. Yet, despite its immense popularity, SMS has remained unexamined by science. Not only that, but the commercial organisations, who have been forced to offer SMS by a demanding public, have had very little idea why it has been successful. Indeed, they have, until very recently, planned to replace SMS with other messaging services such as MMS. This book is the first to bring together scienti…

In-kind Election Donations to Labour by Affiliated Trade Unions
This research note reconsiders evidence on 'in-kind' donations presented to the hearings on party funding conducted by the Committee on Standards in Public Life. The donation reports of the Electoral Commission, established by the Elections, Parties and Referendums Act (2000), suggest that the scale of trade unions' in-kind donations to Labour general election campaigns was greatly overstated in the hearings

High risk injecting behaviour among injectors from Glasgow
In 1988, the UK Departments of Health gave approval for sterile needles and syringes to be made available to injecting drug users, thus obviating their need to inject with used equipment.1 Since then, several hundred needle/syringe exchange schemes have been established, the incidence of HIV among injectors has been extremely low,2 and exchange attenders have been shown to share needles/syringes less frequently than non-attenders.1During the mid-…
