  • Community perceptions and governance of tree planting schemes in Ethiopia

    Open AccessTibebe Weldesemaet Yitbarek, John R U Wilson et al.ARTICLEPeople and Nature2025

    Historically, tree planting was primarily implemented to achieve economic functions; more recently, environmental and social goals have also been emphasised. This is due to the realisation that schemes operate in a socioecological system; hence, understanding and fulfilling local social (community) interests are imperative. We conducted 13 focus group discussions and 40 interviews with communities at 13 Ethiopian tree‐planting scheme sites to eva…

  • Links between the ornamental sector and alien plants in Southern Africa

    Open AccessDiana Rodríguez‐Cala, Jacob Fried et al.ARTICLEGeo Geography and Environment2025References: 14

    Humans and ornamental plants have a long relationship that could explain why ornamental gardening has been one of the main reasons for intentionally introducing and spreading plants worldwide. In Southern Africa, a significant part of the alien flora was introduced for ornamental purposes. Some species have become invasive, with ecological and socio‐economic impacts that can create conflicts between stakeholders, depending on their relationships …

  • Using the critical path method (CPM) for evaluating allocation potential of temporary housing units

    Open AccessDaniel V Perrucci, John R U Wilson et al.ARTICLEJournal of Housing and the Built…2025References: 1

    For disaster relief to be effective, responses must be quick and adaptable to the circumstances. The critical path method is a project management technique that assists in maintaining construction project timelines and limiting delays. This study applies the sequential approach of the critical path method to the manufacturing and logistical phases of post-disaster temporary housing to reduce delays that can lead to prolonged sheltering and homele…

  • Stakeholders' views on the global guidelines for the sustainable use of non‐native trees

    Open AccessAna Novoa, Giovanni Vimercati et al.ARTICLEPeople and Nature2024

    A large number of non‐native trees (NNTs) have been introduced globally and widely planted, contributing significantly to the world's economy. Although some of these species present a limited risk of spreading beyond their planting sites, a growing number of NNTs are spreading and becoming invasive leading to diverse negative impacts on biodiversity, ecosystem functions and human well‐being. To help minimize the negative impacts and maximize the …

  • A governance framework for the design and evaluation of tree planting schemes

    Open AccessTibebe Weldesemaet Yitbarek, John R U Wilson et al.ARTICLEForest Policy and Economics2023References: 18

    Tree planting has excellent potential to alleviate the profound negative impacts of global environmental change. However, tree planting schemes often involve complex social, political, economic, technical, and biological dimensions. In improving the performance of tree planting schemes, governance tools and frameworks have been developed by different stakeholders over the past years. In this study, we systematically reviewed existing literature a…

  • The impact of technology characteristics and job control on worker mental health

    Open AccessSean Mullarkey, P R Jackson et al.ARTICLEJournal of Organizational Behavior1997References: 7

    Recent research suggests that the occurrence of operational problems in advanced manufacturing technology (AMT) places stressful demands on operators. Applying Karasek's demand–control model, we predict that two properties of operational problems, namely technological uncertainty and abstractness, interact with timing and method control to predict operator strain. The results failed to confirm ordinal effects for timing or method control, but sho…

  • Participation—A framework and a foundation for ergonomics

    Open AccessJohn R U Wilson, John R WilsonARTICLEJournal of Occupational Psychology1991

    Participation, as a philosophy and as an underlying mechanism, is important to many work redesign approaches and initiatives. Within ergonomics it is especially relevant. With particular reference to physical workplace design the paper examines the notion of participation closely and critically. Requirements for its proper and successful use are identified

  • Kairos as ‘Profit’

    Open AccessJohn R U Wilson, John R WilsonARTICLEThe Classical Quarterly1981

    Lexicographers have always considered ‘advantage’, ‘profit’ as a possible meaning of kairos. And yet none of the ten passages cited in LSJ under this meaning (s.v. iv) is convincing. No less than four of these instances exemplify kairos as ‘due measure’ (s.v. i). Three other instances exemplify spatial kairos (a sense ignored by LSJ but recognized in W. Pape's Griechisch-Deutsches Handwörterbuch s.v.). The remaining instances exemplify the meanin…

  • The Wedding Gifts of Peleus

    John R U Wilson, John R WilsonARTICLEPhoenix1974Cited by: 3

    IN HIS MARRIAGE TO THE DIVINE THETIS, Peleus reached the height of human happiness. The gods themselves attended the wedding feast, entertained the bride and groom, and to match the occasion gave Peleus an immortal suit of armour and an immortal pair of horses.' In Iliad 16-19 these gifts play a significant role as a touchstone of divinity. The armour outlasts the vigour of the aging Peleus and is inherited by his son. But the son, though vigorou…

  • Parmenides, B 8. 4

    Open AccessJohn R U Wilson, John R WilsonARTICLEThe Classical Quarterly1970References: 1

    The text of Parmenides 8. 4 is unusually corrupt. Most recent critics, however, agree that Plutarch's printed in the later editions of DielsKranz, Die Fragmente der Vorsokratiker , should be excluded in favour of As G. E. L. Owen remarks (‘Eleatic Questions’, CQ [1960], 102), ‘[Plutarch's] is inappropriate since is to be proved from and not vice versa’
