  • 'La Vérité emphatique du geste dans les grandes circonstances de la vie': Baudelaire, Barthes and the Hysterical Gesture

    David W Smith, Douglas SmithARTICLEIrish Journal of French Studies2021

    To associate Baudelaire and Barthes may seem a somewhat unlikely gesture. Barthes wrote about Baudelaire in a sustained way only once and with reference to a marginal part of the poet’s work, namely his failed theatrical projects. Yet Baudelaire remains a point of reference across the entire span of Barthes’s career, in particular as the author of a frequently cited quotation from ‘Exposition Universelle’ (1855): ‘la vérité emphatique du geste da…

  • The pandemic of 1918 and the heart disease epidemic in middle-aged men and women in the United States

    Stephen Blanchard, Ben Bradshaw et al.ARTICLEBiodemography and Social Biology2020Cited by: 1References: 29

    Members of birth cohorts who were alive in 1918 and survived the influenza pandemic were likely to have been "primed" for heart disease in later life. We examine the hypothesis that the twentieth-century heart disease epidemic was a cohort effect reflecting the changing susceptibility composition of the population.We estimated heart disease death rates by single years of age for cohorts born in 1860-1949. We prepared age-specific rates for calend…

  • A Comparative Sociology of Gypsy Traveller Health in the UK

    Open AccessMiranda Millan, David W Smith et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2019

    This paper presents findings from a series of health-related studies undertaken between 2012 and 2017 with Romany Gypsies and Irish Travellers living in different locations and in various forms of accommodation in southern England. These set out to develop a sociological understanding of the factors impacting on the health and wellbeing of members of those communities and to consider the extent health status is shaped by ethno-cultural and/or soc…

  • Reconceptualizing TPACK to Meet the Needs of Twenty-First-Century Education

    Todd Cherner, David W Smith et al.ARTICLEThe New Educator2016References: 6

    As technology continues developing and being integrated into all facets of society, it has a direct impact on education. In response, TPACK (Mishra & Koehler, 2006) was developed as a framework to guide how teachers think about the relationship between their knowledge of pedagogy, content, and technology. However, since its first articulation, significant changes to the technology have occurred. Plus, upon careful review, TPACK’s basis in researc…

  • A cohort study of tuberculosis and influenza mortality in the twentieth century

    Benjamin S Bradshaw, Ben Bradshaw et al.ARTICLEBiodemography and Social Biology2008Cited by: 1References: 9

    We reviewed period and cohort mortality for tuberculosis and influenza and pneumonia over the twentieth century and data on the roles of influenza and tuberculosis as underlying and contributory causes of death. As would be consistent with long-term trends, each cohort had lower tuberculosis mortality but there was no decisive downturn in age specific tuberculosis mortality for any male cohort until after 1945. Tuberculosis mortality among female…

  • Le Temps du plastique’: The Critique of Synthetic Materials in 1950s France

    David W Smith, Douglas SmithARTICLEModern & Contemporary France2007Cited by: 1

    The increasing pervasiveness of plastics in 1950s France was accompanied by a profoundly ambivalent critique of synthetic materials. Much postwar French culture tended to affirm traditional craft-based production, treating plastics with suspicion. Synthetic materials symbolised a ‘bad’ modernity, the emergence of a new consumer society of mechanised mass production and the death of an older artisanal way of life. More fundamentally, synthetics ch…

  • Official Responses to Juvenile Delinquency in Scotland During the Second World War

    D Smith, David W SmithARTICLETwentieth Century British History2006Cited by: 3

    This article addresses the official responses by various governmental agencies and departments to the perceived increase in juvenile crime—seen mainly as a male phenomenon—in Scotland during the Second World War. The war forced administrators to both contest and affirm current ideas about the punishment and treatment of juvenile offenders at a time of crisis when national unity was a concern. Experts saw the problem of delinquency as related to t…

  • Variation in life expectancy during the twentieth century in the United States

    Open AccessDavid W Smith, Benjamin S Bradshaw et al.ARTICLEDemography2006Cited by: 10References: 11

    The National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) reports life expectancy at birth (LE) for each year in the United States. Censal year estimates of LE use complete life tables. From 1900 through 1947, LEs for intercensal years were interpolated from decennial life tables and annual crude death rates. Since 1948, estimates have been computed from annual life tables. A substantial drop in variation in LE occurred in the 1940s. To evaluate these met…

  • People and Wildlife: Conflict or Coexistence?

    J Gregg Robinson, Howard Quigley et al.BOOKPeople and Wildlife2005

    Human-wildlife conflict is a major issue in conservation. As people encroach into natural habitats, and as conservation efforts restore wildlife to areas where they may have been absent for generations, contact between people and wild animals is growing. Some species, even the beautiful and endangered, can have serious impacts on human lives and livelihoods. Tigers kill people, elephants destroy crops and African wild dogs devastate sheep herds l…

  • Urbanization in Transitional Societies: An Overview of Vietnam and Hanoi

    David W Smith, Joseph L ScarpaciARTICLEUrban Geography2000Cited by: 13References: 2

    The rush of foreign investment that drives industrialization has disrupted the socialist ways of Vietnam. This unprecedented about-face in Vietnam's political economy, a process called doi moi, unfolds unevenly in what was formerly called North and South Vietnam. In particular, Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC, formerly Saigon) accommodate this industrialization differently, owing to history, politics, infrastructure, and the allure these places …

  • Urban Food Systems and the Poor in Developing Countries

    Open AccessDavid W SmithARTICLETransactions of the Institute of…1998Cited by: 12References: 29

    In many cities in developing countries, hunger and malnutrition are common amongst the poor, even when food is relatively abundant. Over the past two decades, a considerable literature has accumulated on the problems associated with rapid urbanization in developing countries – a literature that for the most part has neglected the important dimension of urban food systems and how these link production and consumption networks at local, regional an…

  • Auditory behavioral thresholds for Japanese macaques using insert earphones

    Open AccessDavid W Smith, Valerie B OlszykARTICLEAmerican Journal of Primatology1997

    The goal of this study was to measure behavioral auditory thresholds in four Japanese macaques. Animals were trained using food as a reward in an operant reinforcement paradigm. Stimuli were 1-s sinusoids with 10-ms rise/fall times delivered through insert earphones (Etymotic ER-1) having expandable foam eartips. The animals generally produced threshold contours similar in shape to those reported for other macaques species, except that the low-fr…
