Sexual Health Promotion and Dating and Relationship Violence Prevention in Further Education Settings
Placemaking in post-devolution Scotland
This paper investigates the framing and implementation of a distinct placemaking agenda that emerged in Scotland after devolution. Developed over a period of some twenty-five years, Scotland’s placemaking agenda is often upheld for its ambitious commitment to ‘design value’ and pursuit of social and environmental policy goals. Despite this, there has yet to be a comprehensive study of the agenda and its implementation. This paper’s originality li…
Emotional and behavioural difficulties in gender minority compared to cisgender adolescents
BACKGROUND: Gender minority adolescents are more likely to report emotional and behavioural difficulties compared to their cisgender peers. However, little is known about these experiences for adolescents with specific gender minority identities. METHODS: Cross-sectional data were obtained from the 2021/22 Student Health and Well-being survey, a national survey of 11-16-year-olds in Wales, UK. Emotional and behavioural difficulties were measured …
Urban retrofit in Canadian cities
Converting vacant offices into houses is gaining traction as a means of addressing housing affordability in Canadian downtowns. We argue that this adaptive reuse practice is a form of ‘urban retrofit’ with the dual potential to tackle affordability and precipitate wider climate benefits by avoiding carbon-intensive teardown and supporting the creation of mixed-use, walkable neighbourhoods in struggling downtowns. Sharing reflections from a Canada…
The Glory of the Artichoke”
Most medieval Persian lyric poems, or ghazals, combine brevity of form with dense and allusive language to meditate on love, one of the most multifaceted of human experiences. Concision and complexity — particularly in an environment where desire for another person and longing for the divine were not considered incompatible — placed the burden of interpretation on communities of readers and auditors. Mutability of signification made the ghazal in…
What support is needed for preconception health improvement, and by whom? A qualitative study of women's views
Background Systematic reviews suggest preconception health interventions may be effective in improving maternal and infant outcomes . However, few studies have explored women’s views on the types of support required for preconception health improvement, nor when and to whom this support should be provided. Methods We purposively sampled women aged 18-48 years in the West of England from respondents to a survey, and conducted semi-structured in-de…
Preventing gambling-related harm among adolescents (PRoGRAM-A)
Young people’s engagement in gambling can be linked to gambling-related harm. This can cause stress, anxiety, relationship issues, debt, and lost opportunities. There is a lack of independently funded, and evidence-based school-based interventions that seek to prevent and reduce the harms associated with gambling. PRoGRAM-A is one of the first independently research funded interventions to prevent gambling related harm in adolescents. This paper …
Economic Evaluation of a School-Based Social Worker Intervention (SWIS)
Schools are a source of at-risk referrals to Children Social Care (CSC), contributing the second highest proportion of all referrals in the UK, behind the police. Since 204 schools were also associated with the highest increase in referrals.Social workers have the lead responsibility for assessing and safeguarding children. This research evaluated an intervention that integrated social workers into schools (SWIS) to support education colleagues, …
A Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial of Social Workers in Schools (SWIS) in England
Purpose: “Social Workers in Schools” (SWIS) is a school-based intervention aiming to reduce the need for children to receive child protection services in England. This article reports the findings of a randomized controlled trial (RCT) designed to evaluate SWIS. Method: The study was a two-arm pragmatic cluster RCT with an embedded process and economic evaluation. The intervention physically located social workers within schools. The primary outc…
Reflections on the Social Work in Schools Program
In rural and remote areas of Australia, the social determinants of health continue to influence the health and wellbeing of children and young people. In existence for a decade, the Social Work in Schools (SWiS)program offers opportunities to support the wellbeing needs of school students. However, to date, it is unknown how the SWiS program is perceived by school leaders over time. In the qualitative study reported here, semistructured interview…

Women’s views on content and delivery methods for interventions to improve preconception health
Background: Systematic review evidence suggests preconception health interventions may be effective in improving a range of outcomes. However, few studies have explored women's views on potential content and delivery methods for these interventions. Methods: = 313) of a survey. Semi-structured, in-depth interviews were conducted to explore their views on seven candidate delivery methods for preconception health interventions: general practitioner…
Student perspectives on school-based social workers
Purpose School social work, in various forms, is well established internationally and has a growing evidence base. Yet existing research focuses on professional perspectives rather than those of students. This study aims to fill this gap by exploring secondary school student perspectives of having social workers in schools (SWIS). It was undertaken in England as part of the SWIS trial, which tested whether secondary school-based social workers co…
Dreaming at the End of Empire
This article examines the dreams of Jakob Vaarask (1862-1936), an Estonian Orthodox teacher and priest who, from 1889 to 1926, lived and worked on the island of Vormsi, for much of that period part of the Russian Empire's Estland province. I intend to show that dreams, rather than random and purely individual manifestations of the subconscious, can be used as historical sources, in Vaarask's case demonstrating the extent to which political propag…
The cost-effectiveness and cost-consequences of a school-based social worker intervention
The SWIS trial compared a social worker assigned to schools (intervention) versus usual practice. • The mean total cost of the SWIS intervention per school was £106,771.30. • Variations in staff recruitment to SWIS teams led to differences in costs for local authorities. • Costs were re-estimated to account for staff time and quality of implementation. • The probability of SWIS being cost-effective for averting a section 47 enquiry at cost-effect…
The data treadmill
This paper draws on fieldwork in rural Ireland to argue that environmental data can reinforce knowledge systems that shield structural problems and blunt efforts to rethink the role of community engagement in environmental governance. It offers a cautionary reading of how data has been instrumentalised by the EU and Irish State by showing how data diffuses responsibility and depoliticises environmental activism in cycles of funding and data colle…

Averting dead mall syndrome
As consumer habits evolve the role of purpose-built shopping centers is being severely tested. The phrase “dead mall syndrome” is now frequently used in North America and parts of Europe to describe shopping centers facing obsolescence. In this paper, we make purpose-built shopping centers in large UK cities our focus and consider the extent to which “dead mall syndrome” and “de-malling” are occurring on the UK’s city center high streets. Using a…
Interaction of phonological biases and frequency in learning a probabilistic language pattern
We examine how learning a phonological rule in an artificial language interacts with morphological and lexical learning. We exposed adult participants to an artificial language in which noun plurals were marked by one of two prefix forms (ba- or ni-), one of which also triggered a velar palatalization rule (e.g., singular kimu, plural ni-chimu). In some conditions, the rule additionally created homophony. We also manipulated the relative frequenc…
Beholding Beauty
One of the most celebrated authors of medieval Iran, Saʿdī Shīrāzī (d. 691/1292) is best known to many for his Gulistān (The Rose Garden), a prosimetrum that meditates on how the individual can navigate a path through political, spiritual and romantic relationships, and face mortality with grace. After its release in 656/1258, the Gulistān began to be fêted for its eloquence and the ethical ideas that it was perceived to espouse, to the extent th…
Homelessness in early adulthood and biomedical risk factors by middle-age
BACKGROUND: Homelessness has been linked to premature mortality but the relationship with biomedical risk factors is uncertain. METHODS: We analysed data from 8581 participants in the 1970 British Birth Cohort Study. Homelessness and type of experience were self-reported at 30 years of age. Nine biomarkers outcomes were collected at 46 years of age: body mass index (BMI), blood pressure, total and high-density cholesterol, triglycerides, glycated…
Stem similarity modulates infants' acquisition of phonological alternations
Textual Culture Between India and Iran
Until now, the textual history of the poetry transmitted in Persian literary anthologies has solely been the concern of editors preparing works for print publication. This article contends that an investigation of variance is also of relevance for writing the cultural history of how anthologists encountered, manipulated, and published poems in the manuscript age. While a shortage of independent textual witnesses makes it harder to undertake this …
Navigating an Orthodox conversion
Over the summer of 1866, the majority of the Swedish-speaking population on the Baltic island of Ruhnu (then part of the Russian Empire’s Livland province) sought conversion from Lutheranism to Russian Orthodoxy. Despite interest from the Russian secular and ecclesiastical authorities, however, the conversions did not take place. The islanders used the threat of conversion to leverage concessions from the Lutheran consistory: once achieved, the c…
Educational and employment outcomes of adults formerly placed in foster care
Election-Day Registration and Turnout Inequality
Religious Socialization
Recent research on intergenerational faith transfer has argued that (a) parents have a direct effect on the adolescence acquisition of religiosity and (b) parental effects are mediated through congregation and peers. This study tests the channeling hypothesis, which argues that parental influences are mediated through both peer selection and congregation selection. It examines both direct and indirect effects that parental influence has on the re…
Old Wine, Cracked Bottle
The theoretical model of the global city, an international metropolis in which form and functioning are predominantly determined by the forces of international capital and in which socioeconomic structure is characterized by class and ethnic polarization, is criticized as economically reductionist and ethnocentric. Paris and Tokyo are offered as empirical examples of international metropolises that are not dominated by capital and/or are not char…
Comparison of suicidal ideation, suicide attempt and suicide in children and young people in care and non-care populations
Suicide in children and young people is a major public health concern. However, it is unknown whether individuals who have been in the care of the child welfare system are at an elevated risk. Care is presently defined as statutory provision of in-home care (e.g. child living with birth family but in receipt of legal order involving supervision by social workers) or out-of-home care (e.g. foster care, residential care and kinship care). This pape…
Relative deprivation and risk factors for obesity in Canadian adolescents
Research on socioeconomic differences in overweight and obesity and on the ecological association between income inequality and obesity prevalence suggests that relative deprivation may contribute to lifestyle risk factors for obesity independently of absolute affluence. We tested this hypothesis using data on 25,980 adolescents (11-15 years) in the 2010 Canadian Health Behaviour in School-aged Children (HBSC) study. The Yitzhaki index of relativ…
Phonological Naturalness and Phonotactic Learning
We investigate whether the patterns of phonotactic well-formedness internalized by language learners are direct reflections of the phonological patterns they encounter, or reflect in addition principles of phonological naturalness. We employed the phonotactic learning system of Hayes and Wilson (2008) to search the English lexicon for phonotactic generalizations and found that it learned many constraints that are evidently unnatural, having no ty…
Screening for human trafficking among homeless young adults
Human trafficking is a public health issue affecting homeless young adults across the United States; however, screening tools for trafficking specifically for this population are lengthy and onerous. The aim of this study was to develop a sensitive, brief, and user-friendly trafficking screening tool for homeless young adults. Five candidate items for the screening tool were identified from the Vera Institute's Trafficking Victim Identification T…
Alcohol and Tobacco Use during Adolescence
Despite evidence that frequent family meals are associated with low levels of substance use during adolescence, prior studies have not examined the role of how adolescents perceive mealtimes. We examined family meal frequency, family connectedness, perceived priority, atmosphere and structure of mealtimes as predictors of alcohol and tobacco consumption, using data from 550 adolescents (50% boys; age range 11-16). Frequent family meals were signi…

Accounting for the learnability of saltation in phonological theory
Saltatory alternations occur when two sounds alternate with each other, excluding a third sound that is phonetically intermediate between the two alternating sounds (e.g. [p] alternates with [β], with nonalternating, phonetically intermediate [b]). Such alternations are attested in natural language, so they must be learnable; however, experimental work suggests that they are dispreferred by language learners. This article presents a computational…
Phonetics of Tongan stress
In this study, we determine the acoustic correlates of primary and secondary stress in Tongan. Vowels with primary stress show differences in f0, intensity, duration, F1, and spectral measures compared to unstressed vowels, but a linear discriminant analysis suggests f0 and duration are the best cues for discriminating vowels with primary stress from unstressed vowels. Vowels with secondary stress are mainly marked by differences in f0 relative t…

Perceived Similarity and Understanding in Married Couples
The propositional review of research on marital quality by Lewis & Spanier (1979) and the theoretical perspectives on close relationships of phenomenology, communication and consistency theory, suggest the hypothesis that the similarity perceived by a spouse is directly related to that spouse's understanding of his or her partner. The results of this study do not appear to confirm this suggestion. When global perception scores are divided by the …

Family Meal Frequency and Alcohol and Tobacco Use in Adolescence
This longitudinal study tested the direction of associations between family meals and alcohol and tobacco consumption during early adolescence. We examined family meal frequency, family connectedness, alcohol (binge drinking, drunkenness), and tobacco consumption (past year, daily frequency) in 671 adolescents (51% women; mean age, Wave 1 = 14.05 years). Structural equation modeling (SEM) was employed to estimate the associations between meal fre…
Civic Attitudes, Political Participation, and System Stability in Japan
The argument has been made that Japan's democratic polity is unstable, and that the reason for this instability is that political cynicism is peculiarly frequent in Japan, and that political cynicism (particularly when in combination with high political efficacy) conduces toward unconventional or radical individual political behavior, and that such behavior in turn is destabilizing to the polity. The conclusions of this article are that (a) the J…
Vowel Harmony and Disharmony Are Not Equivalent in Learning
General vowel harmony and disharmony rules have comparable formal complexity but differ dramatically in typological frequency and phonetic motivation. Previous studies found no difference in learning between vowel harmony and disharmony; this putative equivalence has been used to discount the view that learners are influenced by substantive learning biases. In the current study, we use a more nuanced test to show that there is a clear difference …
Tradition and Politics in Studies of Contemporary Japan
Each of the books listed above is concerned in some way with problems of tradition and modernity. The extent to which tradition is still an influential force in Japan; the compatibility and/or incompatibility of tradition and modernity; the present functions of tradition in Japanese society, polity, and economy; and the future prospects for tradition in modern Japan—all these are matters of concern to the authors, and together they may inform pre…
Mass Movement and Democracy
With a claimed membership of over 12 million members, possession of over 1000 seats in local and national legislative assemblies, a widespread domestic reputation, and a sensationalistic treatment in the foreign press, the Sokagakkai has come in recent years to be a subject of some academic, and much religious and political interest in both Japan and the United States. An organization of lay believers of the Sho sect of Nichiren Buddhism (noted f…
Russian Orthodox monasticism in Riga diocese, 1881–1917
This article considers the foundation of four Orthodox monasteries and convents in Riga diocese in the late nineteenth century and how these conceptually and physically transformed diocesan space through borderland rhetoric and the creation of internal and external religious and social networks. Analyzing the foundation of these institutions, their demographic profiles, their role in social outreach, and their function as loci of Orthodox religio…
Association between changes in lifestyle and all-cause mortality
BACKGROUND: To examine the combined influence of changes in physical activity, diet, smoking and alcohol consumption on all-cause mortality. METHODS: Health behaviours were assessed in 1984/1985 and 1991/1992 in 8123 adults from the UK (4666 women, median age 41.0 years). An unhealthy lifestyle score was calculated, allocating one point for smoking, fruits and vegetables 14 units (women) or >21 units of alcohol (men) per week. RESULTS: There were…

The Free Sale of Opium’
This article examines discussions of freedom of conscience and other religious liberties in the Orthodox ecclesiastical press between the Great Reforms of the 1860s and the first Russian Revolution in 1905. Avoiding highly influential and well-known religious thinkers, this piece instead focuses on forgotten ordained and lay writers who used their positions in the Church's hierarchy and educational establishments to reach a wide audience. At the …
Missionary, Reformer, and Old Believer in Revolutionary Russia
This article examines the life and thought of Andrei (Ukhtomskii), a prominent Orthodox churchman in late imperial and early Soviet Russia. A proponent of ecclesiastical reform, Andrei believed that the Church was unable to instil piety because of an overly close relationship with the state. Basing his opinions on Slavophile philosophy, Andrei campaigned for the restoration of the Russian patriarchate and parish reform that would grant the laity …

The Visual Arts in Ireland
Michail MacLiammoir has recently referred to the lack of visual sensitivity in the Irish people 'whose ears had always been its strongest point of aesthetic perception'. Naturally, the storyteller's art had been the only one to survive the long enslavement. Only the 'Ascendancy' had time or money to dabble in the fine arts, and the very nature of the 'Ascendancy' clan (those who collaborated with the ruling civil service appointed by England) led…

Dyadic systems analysis
This paper presents a formal system of dyadic cognition and communication. The formal system is a model for the two-person group, or dyad. The dyad is discussed formally as being composed of six subsystems, or state structures, which represent the states of a first-order stochastic process. Some exploratory data are presented which reveal that some axioms appear accurate, while anomalies suggest additional axioms. The implications of this formal …
