A Methodological Case Example of Capturing Social-Spatial Effects on Behavioral Health Treatment Outcomes
Overdose from Unintentional Fentanyl Use when Intending to Use a Non-opioid Substance: An Analysis of Medically Attended Opioid Overdose Events
Fentanyl-mixed and substituted heroin is well-documented, but less is known about unintentional fentanyl use among people using stimulants. To determine the prevalence of and racial and ethnic disparities in unintentional fentanyl use among people experiencing a medically attended opioid overdose, we reviewed 448 suspected non-fatal overdose cases attended by a community paramedic overdose response team in San Francisco from June to September 202…
The devil is in the detail—The need for a decolonizing turn and better environmental accountability in global supply chain regulations: A comment
This commentary on contributions to a special issue is exclusively informed by secondary data as contained in cited sources. There is no primary data to share
Proxy-led accountability for natural resource extraction in rentier states
The resource curse literature suggests that, in fragile states dependent on natural resource rents, structures of public accountability are weak because of an elite-controlled political economy indifferent to social and ecological interests. We examine accountability claims made by non-domestic proxy actors, holding governments and corporations accountable on behalf of communities adversely affected by natural resources extraction. This conceptua…
The role of sex, executive functioning, and perceptions of safety on urban adolescent substance use
Background: Perceptions of safety within one’s activity space (commonly frequented locations) reduces risk for adolescent substance use. Less is known about urban adolescents’ neuropsychological vulnerabilities to substance use and how these may interact with activity space risk. Questions regarding how male and female adolescents respond to these interactions have yet to be sufficiently studied. Method: To examine these interactions, we conducte…
A Political Ontology of Land: Rooting Syrian Identity in the Occupied Golan Heights
Questions of identity, belonging and place are heightened in societies under protracted military occupation. Bridging scholarship on territorial justice and settler colonialism, this paper examines the impacts of, and responses to, the misrecognition of Arab residents enacted by the Israeli state in the occupied Golan Heights. The injustice of misrecognition entails the imposition on the indigenous population of a Zionist ethnogeography consolida…
Barriers to equity in Redd: Deficiencies in national interpretation processes constrain adaptation to context
A national interpretation process involving diverse actors and interests is required to transform global environmental initiatives into policies appropriate to the national or subnational context. These processes of localising norms are critical spaces to formulate equitable pathways to environmental conservation, yet have received limited attention from policy makers and researchers. We explored national policy processes for Reducing Emissions f…
The role of tobacco outlet density in a smoking cessation intervention for urban youth
Disclosing or obscuring? The politics of transparency in global climate governance
Transparency is increasingly evoked within public and private climate governance arrangements as a key means to enhance accountability and improve environmental outcomes. We review assumed links between transparency, accountability and environmental sustainability here, by identifying four rationales underpinning uptake of transparency in governance. We label these democratization, technocratization, marketization and privatization, and assess ho…

Compounding Vulnerability: Impacts of Climate Change on Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank
This paper explores the implications of climate change for Palestinians in the occupied Palestinian territory, through a focus on vulnerability pertaining to water provision and the agricultural sector. Climate vulnerability is understood as exposure to climate-related hazards in the context of social vulnerability. Climate models project, over the course of this century, increased mean temperatures and decreased rainfall for the Eastern Mediterr…
Information Disclosure and Environmental Rights: The Aarhus Convention
Access to information is the first “pillar” of the Aarhus Convention on Access to Information, Public Participation in Decision-Making and Access to Justice in Environmental Matters (1998). This article examines how the information disclosure obligations on states within the Aarhus Convention express a particular blend of human environmental rights, conjoining procedural entitlements (and duties) with a substantive right to an environment adequat…
Transparency for Whom? Information Disclosure and Power in Global Environmental Governance
Information disclosure is the most obvious manifestation of the transparency turn in global governance, as evident from a growing uptake of environmental disclosure practices by countries, corporations and international organizations. Any analytic examination of environmental disclosure measures needs to grasp their relation to wider configurations of political and economic authority. Highlighting these relations of power reveals that transparenc…
The Governance of Transnational Environmental Harm: Addressing New Modes of Accountability/Responsibility
Transboundary and global environmental harm present substantial challenges to state-centered (territorial) modalities of accountability and responsibility. The globalization of environmental degradation has triggered regulatory responses at various jurisdictional scales. These governance efforts, featuring various articulations of state and/or private authority, have struggled to address so-called “accountability deficits” in global environmental…
Spirituality in adolescence and young adulthood: A method for a qualitative study
This paper discusses an ongoing research project on contemporary forms of youth and young adult spirituality, highlighting issues in the history and definition of spirituality and in development of appropriate qualitative methods of investigation. Previous research on the topic has been bedevilled by difficulties of definition. 'Spirit' and 'spirituality' have a long history in both philosophy and religion and surviving senses of the terms includ…
Urban Regeneration Rationalties and Quality of Life: Comparative Notes From Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver
NOTIONS OF QUALITY OF LIFE AND LIVEABILITY have for several decades pervaded representations of the Canadian urban experience offered by metropolitan authorities across the country. In a state that has targeted both inward investment and immigration as pivotal sources of economic growth, this might be seen as no more than boosterist rhetoric, and successful at that: in Toronto and Montreal over 40 per cent of the population is now foreign-born, 2…
Complicating Slavery: Teaching with Runaway Slave Advertisements
Perhaps the most revolutionary aspect of the American Revolution was the abolition of slavery in the northern states. It ended slavery where it had once flourished, began the process of reconstructing black life in freedom, and initiated a series of emancipations which eventually banished slavery from the Americas. With abolition, slavery was no longer a continental institution, but a sectional one. The North became the land of freedom; the South…

Administrative fairness and forest land decision-making: Restructuring land use governance in British Columbia, Canada
Attention to administrative process is of key importance in reconciling competing interests in environmental policy‐making and implementation. Acute wilderness preservation/logging conflict in recent years in British Columbia, Canada, has led the government to attach a political priority to the development of legitimate procedural forms for forest land use allocation and management. In devising a provincial land use strategy governed by principle…

An evaluation of case management
This project explores the efficiency and effectiveness of case management as compared with the usual and customary services available to chronic mentally ill individuals in reducing readmissions to mental hospitals and improving the quality of life. A randomized pretest-posttest control group design was used to assign 417 individuals who had at least two discharges from a mental hospital to an experimental (E) group (N = 213) to receive case mana…
The Tsoede Myth and the Nupe Kinglists: More Political Propaganda
“History is always written by the conquerors.” It is a convention in the writing of Nupe political history to begin with the name ‘Tsoede.’ This convention has been current at least since the early years of colonial rule, when we find ‘Tsoede,’ or ‘Edegi,’ as he is also called, being credited with the founding of the kingdom whose successive rulers can be traced up to the present. The clearest expression of the place of both ‘Tsoede’ and the king…
