Welsh Accents and Social Identity: A Study on Perceptions of New and Traditional Speakers
This paper presents the results of an accent rating study of Welsh in which 59 raters were asked to listen to speech samples of three speaker groups (Welsh home language speakers, immersion education learners, and adult learners). The study aimed to ascertain (a) whether these groups are identifiable based on their accents, (b) how raters evaluate the three speaker groups socially, and (c) what phonetic features they associate with them. The resu…
Fundamental frequency range in the bilingual repertoire of traditional and new Welsh speakers
Aims: This research aims to examine cross-linguistic interaction and intra-linguistic variation in the Welsh and English of bilingual speakers in two areas of north Wales. Specifically, I present an analysis of fundamental frequency range (FFR) and examine both cross-linguistic and intra-linguistic differences in speech production between bilinguals from Welsh-speaking and English-speaking homes. Design: Data were collected from Welsh–English bil…
The Structural Violence of Indigenous Suicide Prevention Policies in Canada
Indigenous peoples in Canada suffer from very high suicide rates of which there are various state-created programmes and efforts to combat. However, the variety of these programmes may be limited in their conceptions of Indigenous suicide. I predicted that by analysing existing suicide prevention policies and frameworks, I would find that they systematically place Indigenous peoples in vulnerable positions through the enforcement of Western ideal…
Social Influences on Phonological Transfer: R/ Variation in the Repertoire of Welsh-English Bilinguals
It is well known that cross-linguistic interactions can exist between the two languages in a bilingual speaker’s repertoire. At the level of phonetics and phonology, this interaction may result in the transfer of a feature from one language to the other or the ‘merging’ of phonetic properties between languages. Although there are numerous studies of bilingual speakers which show such interactions, relatively little is known about the nature of tr…
Pre-aspiration in Bethesda Welsh: A sociophonetic analysis
Previous research has shown that pre-aspiration can be a phonemic and a variable linguistic feature susceptible to linguistic and extra-linguistic influences. In the case of Welsh, previous exploratory work has found the presence of pre-aspiration (Ball 1984, Morris 2010, Spooner 2016, Iosad forthcoming), but the phonetic and phonological properties of this feature and its sociophonetic patterning in the language are not known. This article prese…
Sociophonetic variation in a long‐term language contact situation: L/‐darkening in Welsh‐English bilingual speech
This study investigates /l/‐darkening in the Welsh and English speech of bilinguals in North Wales. Although it is claimed that /l/ is dark in all syllable positions in northern varieties of both languages, there have been no quantitative investigations of this feature which consider cross‐linguistic phonetic differences, the differing nature of language contact between North East and North West Wales, and differences in the way both languages ar…
Mapping to Support Fine Scale Epidemiological Cholera Investigations: A Case Study of Spatial Video in Haiti
The cartographic challenge in many developing world environments suffering a high disease burden is a lack of granular environmental covariates suitable for modeling disease outcomes. As a result, epidemiological questions, such as how disease diffuses at intra urban scales are extremely difficult to answer. This paper presents a novel geospatial methodology, spatial video, which can be used to collect and map environmental covariates, while also…

Introduction It is not clear what proportion of HCV (hepatitis C virus) patients attain a sustained viral response (SVR) when treated with pegylated interferon and ribavirin combination therapy outside randomised clinical trials (RCTs). Secondly, pre-treatment factors available in routine clinical settings that are predictive of SVR (the optimal treatment outcome) are not known. Methods HCV clinical databases from nine Scottish treatment clinics …

An examination of lithic technological variability at the site of Sheri Khan Tarakai, NWFP, Pakistan through experimental replication
In a previous paper Morris and Ashton suggested that the interpretation of the relationship between experimental and archaeological lithic datasets by Inizan et al. had resulted in misleading conclusions regarding levels of economic development at the site of Sheri Khan Tarakai, North- West Frontier Province, Pakistan. Morris andAshton questioned the use of copper in the lithic production strategy and suggested that the quality of the raw materia…

The Lithic Assemblage from the Neolithic Site of Sheri Khan Tarakai, NWFP, Pakistan: The Technological Interpretation and the Resultant Socio-Economic Implications
The Neolithic site of Sheri Khan Tarakai is of critical importance in terms of understanding the socio-economic processes present at this time in the Bannu Basin, NWFP, Pakistan. Scholars have drawn conclusions about the lithic technologies employed at Later Prehistoric sites in Pakistan based on attributes identified within experimental datasets. This research aims to show that the interpretation of the relationship between the experimental and …

Randomised controlled trials of physical activity promotion in free living populations: A review
OBJECTIVES--To review evidence on the effectiveness of trials of physical activity promotion in healthy, free living adults. To identify the more effective intervention programmes. METHODS--Computerised databases and references were searched. Experts were contacted and asked for information about existing work. INCLUSION CRITERIA--Randomised controlled trials of healthy, free living adult subjects, where exercise behaviour was the dependent varia…

Diet, infection, and acute appendicitis in Britain and Ireland
During 1979-82 hospital discharge rates after emergency admission for acute appendicitis were higher in Eire (17.4 per 10,000 population) than in England (10.3), Scotland (11.1), or Wales (12.3). Comparison of food consumption between the four countries, and between the health board areas of Eire and regions of Scotland, shows that appendicitis rates are highest in communities that consume more potatoes, sugar, and cereals, and less non-potato ve…
A case-control study of acute appendicitis and diet in children
The diets of 53 Southampton children who had had appendicitis were compared with those of two sets of age-sex matched controls using a seven-day weighed food record. One set of controls comprised classmates of the cases; the other was a random sample of all schoolchildren in the city. The cases weighed less and were shorter in height; they had lower intakes of energy, all the main nutrients and water. The differences in weight and water intake we…
Farmer Uptake of Agricultural Land Drainage Benefits
Grant aid for land drainage improvements by Regional Water Authorities has been an important feature of agricultural support in Britain. The paper reports a study undertaken to evaluate and explain the nature and rate of farmer uptake of benefits on sixteen publicly financed projects involving flood alleviation and improved arterial drainage in central England. A total of 177 farmers, 880 blocks of land, and 5500 hectares were surveyed, with data…
The effectiveness of smoking cessation methods for smokers in public health maternity clinics: A randomized trial
Little insight is available in the literature on how best to assist the pregnant smoker in public health maternity clinics to quit during pregnancy. A randomized pretest/posttest experiment was used to evaluate the effectiveness of two different self-help cessation methods. Three hundred and nine pregnant women from three public health maternity clinics were assigned randomly to one of three groups with one-third assigned to each: a control group…

Factors Involved in Learning a Simple Musical Theme
S ummary . 100 boys and girls of 13+ years of age were given repeated trials on a simple musical theme. The performance on eight consecutive trials was related to performance on a battery of musical and other tests and the factors underlying performance were elicited. It was found that the task was complex and changed in complexity during the eight trials. The learning curve for a hypothetical performer was broken down into a series of other curv…
