Climate (im)mobility justice under transboundary hydropower: Evidence from Northeast Thailand
Climate change is reshaping human (im)mobilities, and so are interventions intended to mitigate or adapt to them. Yet the ways in which injustices related to climate mitigation and adaptation projects constrain voluntary and involuntary (im)mobilities remain underexamined, especially in transboundary contexts. This paper addresses this gap by analysing how transboundary hydropower development in the Mekong River generates injustices that shape (i…
Articulation of the STRUT vowel in L2 English speakers of Swiss German
Given the importance of pronunciation in effective communication, this study investigates Swiss German speakers’ realisation of the English STRUT vowel. Anecdotally, such speakers use this sound more as an open-back vowel. The present study examined 54 students from two different school backgrounds reading out loud. The study involved a comparison of the students' vowel production with the standard British reference vowels as presented in school …

Extraverted innovators and conscientious laggards? Investigating effects of personality traits on language change
Although personality-related factors play a crucial role in sociolinguistics as conceivable sources of language variation and change, there is insufficient quantitative evidence on such relationships. Using a large and balanced sample ( n = 1000), this study investigated effects of personality traits on the use of a Swiss German plural marker in its early stages of diffusion. Besides age and region, conscientiousness and extraversion emerged as t…
Linguistic fieldwork in a pandemic: Supervised data collection combining smartphone recordings and videoconferencing
Linguistic data collection typically involves conducting interviews with participants in close proximity. The safety precautions related to the COVID-19 pandemic brought such data collection to an abrupt halt: Social distancing forced linguistic fieldwork into involuntary hibernation in many parts of the world. Such hardship, however, can inspire innovation. In this contribution, we present an approach that – we believe – enables a reliable switc…
Global, Regional, and National Prevalence, Incidence, and Disability-Adjusted Life Years for Oral Conditions for 195 Countries, 1990–2015: A Systematic Analysis for the Global Burden of Diseases, Inju…
The Global Burden of Disease 2015 study aims to use all available data of sufficient quality to generate reliable and valid prevalence, incidence, and disability-adjusted life year (DALY) estimates of oral conditions for the period of 1990 to 2015. Since death as a direct result of oral diseases is rare, DALY estimates were based on years lived with disability, which are estimated only on those persons with unmet need for dental care. We used our…
Educating for innovation and management: The engineering educators' dilemma
Research on ways to improve engineering education has identified management and innovation skills as important to success in an engineering career. This paper explores the nature of those management and innovation skills through presentation of some original research on a community of innovative engineers and managers and some published research on personality differences between engineers, managers, and entrepreneurial innovators. This paper sug…
