Combinatorial (bio-geo-temporal) and non-combinatorial analysis of the Covid-19 dissemination that affected Georgia (the country) in 2021
Introduction To extract more information from the same data and support decision-making, we explored whether bio-geo-temporal (BGT) variables could distinguish municipalities where BGT variables differed and (if prioritized in subsequent interventions) could lead to cost-effective decision-making. This study was conducted investigating COVID-19 outbreaks reported in Georgia in 2021. Methods Using both commercial and non-commercial proprietary sof…

Social work and nursing students completed a pre/post survey following the educational intervention; results from this mixed methods study indicated positive change in attitudes as well as increased knowledge. Quantitative findings included statistically significant (using …
Not that of mere accident, but of humane treatment
This article investigates the demographic history of the Grand Sable sugar estate on nineteenth-century St Vincent. Exceptionally for a Caribbean plantation, Grand Sable's enslaved population achieved natural increase (a surplus of births over deaths). Pro-slavery campaigners seized on this achievement to support the cause of gradualist amelioration and to oppose metropolitan regulation of slavery, especially emancipation. Explanations of demogra…
"The Curse of the Caribbean"? Agency's Impact on the Productivity of Sugar Estates on St. Vincent and the Grenadines, 1814-1829
This study estimates agency's impact on sugar plantation productivity using a unique early nineteenth-century panel data set from St. Vincent and the Grenadines. Results of fixed effects models, combined with a qualitative and quantitative analysis of potential endogeneity of the agency variable, provide no evidence that estates managed by agents were less productive than those managed by their owners. We discuss the results in the context of the…
Multisectoral approaches to addressing youth violence
Youth violence is a public health concern that has devastating consequences for communities and requires a collaborative community response. While public health approaches underscore the importance of collaborative efforts to address public health concerns, violence prevention programs are often siloed and lack a multisectored response that includes the education system, criminal justice system, local government, university, and service providers…

Mainstreaming fisheries in development and poverty reduction strategies in the Asia-Pacific region
This paper offers an assessment of the mainstreaming of fisheries in national development plans and Poverty Reduction Strategy Papers within the Asia-Pacific region. Fisheries and aquaculture in the region make a significant contribution to world fisheries production. Importantly, those directly involved in the sector are predominantly small-scale artisanal producers, a group traditionally regarded as extremely vulnerable in poverty terms. Theref…

Slavery, Family, and Gentry Capitalism in the British Atlantic
From the mid-seventeenth century to the 1830s, successful gentry capitalists created an extensive business empire centered on slavery in the West Indies, but inter-linked with North America, Africa, and Europe. S. D. Smith examines the formation of this British Atlantic World from the perspective of Yorkshire aristocratic families who invested in the West Indies. At the heart of the book lies a case study of the plantation-owning Lascelles and th…

Women's Admission to Guilds in Early‐Modern England
The admission of women into the York merchant tailors’ is a remarkable episode in the history of post‐medieval guilds. Within England, the York experience was probably exceptional; across Europe more generally, it can be classified as a rare phenomenon. The article analyses male and female merchant tailors and apprentices in order to identify the gender‐specific characteristics of women guild members. It argues that the decision of the York Compa…

Gedney Clarke of Salem and Barbados
rpHE greatest failure ever happened here: thus did 1 John Hawksworth describe the financial collapse of Gedney Clarke Jr. of Barbados in a letter of June 1774. For forty years, the Gedney Clarkes, father and son, had occupied prominent positions among Barbados's merchant and planter elite.' Now their reputations and their fortunes lay in ruins. I have heard, Hawksworth went on to inform Philadelphia merchant James Pemberton, that [Clarke Jr.] wil…
Merchants and planters revisited
This article's principal source is a database of loans granted by the merchant Henry Lascelles (1690-1753) to clients in the West Indies. Lascelles' long-term lending in the Caribbean is compared with his English loans, his investment in securities, his purchases of English real estate, and short-term credits granted to planters by the London commission house of Lascelles and Maxwell. The data indicate that lending on mortgage grew in importance …
Coffee, Microscopy, and the Lancet's Analytical Sanitary Commission
Coffee was the most frequently analysed commodity in the Lancet's Analytical Sanitary Commission's reports on adulteration published between 1851 and 1854. Techniques of sample collection and microscopical investigation developed to analyse coffee were applied to other foods and drinks by Arthur Hill Hassall, and his findings were instrumental in establishing the first parliamentary select committee to investigate food purity in 1855. The committ…

British Exports to Colonial North America and the Mercantilist Fallacy
This article reconsiders the significance of continental North America as an export market for British manufactures during the eighteenth century. A simple model of export distribution between markets is used in conjunction with Hirschman indexes of trade dependence to assess whether trade with the colonies had a positive effect on total revenue earned from exporting between 1700 and 1776
