Disruption of marine habitats by artificial light at night from global coastal megacities
Half of globally significant megacities are situated near the coast, exposing urban marine ecosystems to multiple stressors such as waste-water discharge containing a host of organic and inorganic pollutants, air and noise pollution. In addition to these well recognized sources, artificial light at night (ALAN) pollution is inseparable from cities but poorly quantified in marine ecosystems to date. We have developed a time- and wavelength-resolvi…
Shine a light: Under-ice light and its ecological implications in a changing Arctic Ocean
The Arctic marine ecosystem is shaped by the seasonality of the solar cycle, spanning from 24-h light at the sea surface in summer to 24-h darkness in winter. The amount of light available for under-ice ecosystems is the result of different physical and biological processes that affect its path through atmosphere, snow, sea ice and water. In this article, we review the present state of knowledge of the abiotic (clouds, sea ice, snow, suspended ma…
A global atlas of artificial light at night under the sea
The impacts of artificial light at night (ALAN) on marine ecosystems have emerged as a focus for ecological light pollution research in recent years, yet the global prevalence of ALAN in underwater marine ecosystems is unknown. We have derived a global atlas of ALAN throughout the marine water column that will accelerate our understanding of its sources and environmental impacts. At a depth of 1 m, 1.9 million km2 of the world’s coastal seas are …
Sign names in an intercultural classroom space: Practices and perceptions of sign language teachers and students
This study investigates practices around the bestowal of personal sign names to adult New Zealand Sign Language learners, from both teachers' and students' perspectives. Key findings include that, (1) learners receive similar types of sign names to deaf signers but in different proportions; (2) getting a sign name is regarded as a significant milestone and a valuable commodity in constructing an intercultural identity as a `new signer'; (3) deaf …
Globalization, hybridity, and vitality in the linguistic ideologies of New Zealand Sign Language users
The effect of teachers trained in a fundamental movement skills programme on children’s self-perceptions and motor competence
Perceived and actual motor competence are hypothesized to have potential links to children and young people’s physical activity (PA) levels with a potential consequential link to long-term health. In this cross-sectional study, Harter’s (1985, Manual for the Self-perception Profile for Children. Denver, CO: University of Denver) Competency Motivation-based framework was used to explore whether a group of children taught, during curriculum time, b…
Variable “subject” presence in Australian Sign Language and New Zealand Sign Language
This article reports the findings of parallel studies of variable subject presence in two closely related sign language varieties, Australian Sign Language (Auslan) and New Zealand Sign Language (NZSL). The studies expand upon research in American Sign Language (ASL) (Wulf, Dudis, Bayley, & Lucas, 2002) that found subject pronouns with noninflecting verbs to be more frequently unexpressed than expressed. The ASL study reported that null subject u…
Māori Signs: The Construction of Indigenous Deaf Identity in New Zealand Sign Language
Phonological variation and change in Australian and New Zealand Sign Languages: The location variable
In this study, we consider variation in a class of signs in Australian and New Zealand Sign Languages that includes the signs think, name , and clever . In their citation form, these signs are specified for a place of articulation at or near the signer's forehead or above, but are sometimes produced at lower locations. An analysis of 2667 tokens collected from 205 deaf signers in five sites across Australia and of 2096 tokens collected from 138 d…
Validity of case manager reports of clients' functioning in the community: Independent living, income, employment, family contact, and problem behaviors
The Sociolinguistic Situation of Natural Sign Languages
The study of signed languages can reveal whether or not sociolinguistic phenomena previously observed for spoken languages are general across modalities. In fact, like spoken languages, signed languages exhibit variation related to age, race, sex, and religion, and like other minority languages within majority cultures show effects of language contact (despite the difference of modality between the minority and majority languages). The situation …
Life Stress, Vulnerability, and Depression: A Methodological Critique of Brown et al
The conceptualization and measurement underlying the 'vulnerability' model of depression in women proposed by George Brown and his colleagues are criticized and an alternative, additive 'strain' model is proposed. It is also argued that Brown et al.'s statistical methods are inappropriate. An alternative approach utilizing logit and linear probability estimation is proposed. With these techniques, the 'vulnerability' and 'strain' models are teste…
