Musicians as Workers and the Gig Economy
Recent years have seen notions of the "gig economy" become widespread.Hitherto most analyses of this phenomenon have centered on first defining the phenomenon, then tracing its extent and effects before considering the policy implications.However, few previous accounts have concerned themselves with the origins of the word "gig," and none have focused on those workers whose lives revolve around gigs-musicians.This article seeks to address this la…
Other people’s children and the critical role of the social service workforce
Understanding the needs of your child is complicated. Understanding the varied needs of a population of children with whom you have no direct contact is the near impossible challenge policy makers, government planners and donors face when making policy or selecting interventions to fund and implement. They cannot unpack children’s individual needs and so must predict what is most important for a given population and which services to prioritise. …
Determination of Pharmacokinetic and Pharmacokinetic-Pharmacodynamic Parameters of Doxycycline against Edwardsiella ictaluri in Yellow Catfish (Pelteobagrus fulvidraco)
This study aimed to examine the pharmacokinetics of doxycycline (DC) in yellow catfish (Pelteobagrus fulvidraco) and to calculate related pharmacokinetic–pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) parameters of DC against Edwardsiella ictaluri. The minimum inhibitory concentration of DC against E. ictaluri was determined to be 500 μg/L. As the increase of oral dose from 10 to 40 mg/kg, the area under the concentration vs. time curve from 0 to 96 h (AUC0–96) values …
The kilt is my delight? Popular music on early television from Scotland

Players’ work time
This book is a history of the British Musicians' Union (MU) from its origins in 1893 to 2013. It uses the Union as a prism through which to examine changes in musicians' working lives, the industries they work in and wider British society. It argues that musicians can best be considered as particular sorts of worker and that while the MU's history has hitherto largely been ignored or marginalised, it has much to teach us about musicians, their wo…

Unequal Prospects
In light of the recent financial crisis and changing economic landscape, McNamara and Williamson present and analyze the possibility of working longer. Including a range of potential policies (e.g., further increasing the age of eligibility for full Social Security benefits, allocating more government resources to retraining and job search assistance for older workers), this is one of the major approaches currently being discussed by policy analy…

Having an impact? Academics, the music industries and the problem of knowledge
This article reflects upon recent interest in knowledge transfer from higher education to the creative industries, using the UK music industries as a case study. It suggests that traditional academic values of impartiality and concern with research methodology can come in to conflict with instrumentalist agendas that see research as valuable only insofar as it fits with pre‐existing worldviews and policy ends. In this setting, knowledge resistanc…
Sierra Leone’s Former Child Soldiers
This is the first prospective study to investigate psychosocial adjustment in male and female former child soldiers (ages 10–18; n = 156, 12% female). The study began in Sierra Leone in 2002 and was designed to examine both risk and protective factors in psychosocial adjustment. Over the 2-year period of follow-up, youth who had wounded or killed others during the war demonstrated increases in hostility. Youth who survived rape not only had highe…

Comparative Historical Sociology
Asubfield of sociological works exists, often grouped together under the name “comparative historical sociology” (CHS). These are the works of a sociology that emerged in the late 1960s and early 1970s, partially in response to perceived shortcomings of functionalism and crude Marxism, and partially as a return to classical sociological questions regarding the apparent contradictions and problems of modernity itself
Rethinking the music industry
This article examines a very basic question for popular music studies: what is 'the music industry?' It surveys the usage of the term in various arenas and argues that it is often used in ways which state or imply that the industry is a homogenous unit with shared objectives and interests. However, the reality is that this picture is, at best, outdated and an inaccurate portrayal of the organisational structure of the global music economy in the …
A tax on currency transactions as an instrument in the war against poverty
This paper considers whether a tax on currency transactions could be expected to raise a significant sum of money for use in the war on poverty. It traces the detailed discussion of Kenen and the subsequent argument of Schmidt, that technical developments would now permit the tax to be levied efficiently by the five authorities who issue currencies in which transactions are settled. It notes the creation of the CLS Bank and the proposal to confin…

This Companion provides an overview of the composer Anton Bruckner (1824–1896). Sixteen chapters by leading scholars investigate aspects of his life and works and consider the manner in which critical appreciation has changed in the twentieth century. The first section deals with Bruckner's Austrian background, investigating the historical circumstances in which he worked, his upbringing in Upper Austria, and his career in Vienna. A number of mis…

Creating Online Lessons
The World Wide Web is being used increasingly to deliver instruction in medical education. Consequently, there is a need to train faculty in developing and implementing online instruction. We developed and implemented a seminar series to teach faculty to create educationally sound, well-designed online instruction. Instruction was delivered to 15 participants via a six-session seminar on developing web-based lessons, supplemented with web-based i…
Association of Co-Occurring Psychosocial Health Problems and Increased Vulnerability to HIV/Aids Among Urban Men Who Have Sex With Men
Objectives. We measured the extent to which a set of psychosocial health problems have an additive effect on increasing HIV risk among men who have sex with men (MSM). Methods. We conducted a cross-sectional household probability telephone sample of MSM in Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, and San Francisco. Results. Psychosocial health problems are highly intercorrelated among urban MSM. Greater numbers of health problems are significantly and pos…
After the Washington Consensus
This volume is a successor of sorts to the Institute's 1986 volume Toward Renewed Economic Growth In Latin America. It again presents the work of a group of leading Latin American economists who were asked to think about the nature of the economic policy agenda that the region should be pursuing after the better part of a decade that was punctuated by crises, achieved disappointingly slow growth, and saw no improvement in the region's highly skew…

The Evolution of Thought on Intermediate Exchange Rate Regimes
This article traces the origins and evolution of proposals for exchange-rate regimes intermediate between fixed and floating rates. The origins are traced to Keynes's interwar writings. Keynes's ideas were revived in the 1960s literature on the (wide) band proposal and crawling peg and developed in the 1970s by the literatures on the reference rate proposal and optimal peg. The target zone proposals of the 1980s combined the band proposal and the…

Prevention of childhood household injuries
Injuries claim the lives of more children each year than the next six leading pediatric disorders combined, and produce injuries that require medical attention for one in three children. In the preschool age group, 91 per cent of these accidents and over one-half the resultant fatalities occur in the home. This paper reports the results of a controlled clinical trial conducted to evaluate the implementation of a health education program intended …

Inflation and Indexation
Triple digit inflation poses the greatest threat to the economic prospects and to the political cohesion of Argentina, Brazil, and Israel. All three countries have extensive indexation, including linkage of wages to the inflation rate. This report discusses questions such as: What strategy offers the best hope for controlling inflation in each of these cases? Is deindexation necessary to curb inflation and how might it be achieved? What can be le…

Phillips Curves, Expectations of Inflation and Optimal Unemployment over Time
It has been customary to specify the objectives of macro-economic policy in terms of targets with such labels as non-inflationary full employment (despite the doubts raised by the Phillips Curve as to whether such a thing exists), rapid growth (which is hardly instructive) and balance-of-payments equilibrium (whatever that may mean). This procedure is inadequate where the targets are lacking in immediate normative significance. The balance of pay…
