Elderflora: A Modern History of Ancient Trees
In the Realm of Ends: The Fate of Moveable Type
There is something strange, perhaps, in producing a journal called ‘Moveable Type’ that has never appeared in print, or been anywhere near a press. How or why the editors of the first volume landed on the name is lost to history, or at least in need of some research. But what is certain is that the journal, born (enrolled?) in the (academic) year 2004-5, is a child of the Internet. A thoroughly digital native; assembled, uploaded, published, down…
American Federalism: A Blessing and a Curse for Transgender Rights
The development of transgender rights in the United States has been hobbled by a patchwork of inconsistent state laws. The irregularity is a function of the political opportunity structure in the United States, which is defined by a sharp partisan divide and by the federal system’s division of power. National policymaking on transgender rights has stalled in Congress. Executive branch policymaking is often subject to challenge in the federal cour…
Approximating grouped fixed effects estimation via fuzzy clustering regression
We propose a new, computationally efficient way to approximate the “grouped fixed effects” (GFE) estimator of Bonhomme and Manresa (2015), which estimates grouped patterns of unobserved heterogeneity. To do so, we generalize the fuzzy C‐means objective to regression settings. As the clustering exponent approaches 1, the fuzzy clustering objective converges to the GFE objective, which we recast as a standard generalized method of moments problem. …
Unfeeling
The theme of ‘unfeeling’ promised an urgent exploration of what it is to be human after the enforced separation, dislocation, and artificially recreated forms of social interaction that were prevalent during the pandemic and continue to be so. It is almost that we have discovered how to be posthuman. Unfeeling, we suggest, dislocates the internal subjective experience and the external expression thereof in a culturally legible manner. This perhap…
Measuring real activity using a weekly economic index
This paper describes a weekly economic index (WEI) developed to track the rapid economic developments associated with the onset of and policy response to the novel coronavirus in the United States. The WEI is a weekly composite index of real economic activity, with eight of 10 series available the Thursday after the end of the reference week. In addition to being a weekly real activity index, the WEI has strong predictive power for output measure…
Robust Inference in Models Identified via Heteroskedasticity
Identification via heteroskedasticity exploits variance changes between regimes to identify parameters in simultaneous equations. Weak identification occurs when shock variances change very little or multiple variances change close to proportionally, making standard inference unreliable. I propose an F-test for weak identification in a common simple version of the model. More generally, I establish conditions for validity of nonconservative robus…
Evaluating the effect of change in the built environment on mental health and subjective well-being: A natural experiment
Background Neighbourhood characteristics may affect mental health and well-being, but longitudinal evidence is limited. We examined the effect of relocating to East Village (the former London 2012 Olympic Athletes’ Village), repurposed to encourage healthy active living, on mental health and well-being. Methods 1278 adults seeking different housing tenures in East village were recruited and examined during 2013–2015. 877 (69%) were followed-up af…
Longitudinal associations between neighbourhood trust, social support and physical activity in adolescents: Evidence from the Olympic Regeneration in East London (ORiEL) study
Background Most UK adolescents do not achieve recommended levels of physical activity (PA). Previous studies suggest that the social environment could contribute to inequalities in PA behaviours, but longitudinal evidence is limited. We examined whether neighbourhood trust and social support were longitudinally associated with four common forms of PA: walking to school, walking for leisure, outdoor PA and pay and play PA. We further assessed whet…
Initiatives without Engagement: A Realistic Appraisal of Direct Democracy’s Secondary Effects
Do ballot initiatives create better citizens? Proponents of direct democracy institutions have long argued that they not only create a more democratically responsive government and public policy but also promote civic engagement in society. Giving citizens a direct role in the legislative process should enhance individuals’ political and policy knowledge, trust in government, political efficacy, and, importantly, participation in elections. Initi…
S umner L a C roix . Hawaiʻi: Eight Hundred Years of Political and Economic Change
It might seem surprising to see a history with a specific focus on Hawaiian politics and economy that dates back to the thirteenth century. As Sumner La Croix demonstrates in Hawaiʻi: Eight Hundred Years of Political and Economic Change, writing about the particulars of socioeconomic life and politics in precontact Hawaiʻi is rife with challenges because the lack of a written language means that information has primarily been passed along through…
The Role of Optimism and Psychosocial Factors in Athletes Recovery From ACL Injury: A Longitudinal Study
Despite a growing interest into the role of psychosocial factors during the recovery period following sports injuries, there remains a paucity of longitudinal studies examining the indirect relationships between psychosocial factors, psychological responses, and recovery outcomes. The purpose of this study was to construct and test a conceptual model which examined the indirect relationships between optimism, psychosocial factors, rehabilitation …
Longitudinal associations between perceptions of the neighbourhood environment and physical activity in adolescents: Evidence from the Olympic Regeneration in East London (ORiEL) study
This study suggests that younger adolescents' perceptions of their neighbourhood environment, and changes in these perceptions, did not consistently predict physical activity in a deprived and ethnically diverse urban population. Future studies should use situation-specific measures of the neighbourhood environment and physical activity to better capture the hypothesised processes and explore the relative roles of the objective environment, paren…
A taxonomy of masculinities in Frances Trollope’s Domestic Manners of the Americans (1832) and Anthony Trollope’s North America (1862)
This essay examines how North American models of masculinity are defined, compared, and occasionally endorsed in Frances Trollope’s Domestic Manners of the Americans (1832) and Anthony Trollope’s North America (1862). In addition, the article explores how those models relate to American, Canadian, and British national identity in the mid-to-late nineteenth-century. The article’s examination of these taxonomies of masculinities shows how they reac…

HAR Inference: Recommendations for Practice
The classic papers by Newey and West (1987) and Andrews (1991) spurred a large body of work on how to improve heteroscedasticity- and autocorrelation-robust (HAR) inference in time series regression. This literature finds that using a larger-than-usual truncation parameter to estimate the long-run variance, combined with Kiefer-Vogelsang (2002, 2005) fixed-b critical values, can substantially reduce size distortions, at only a modest cost in (siz…

Patterns of Patient Registration with Primary Health Care in the UK National Health Service
The UK National Health Service (NHS) is a long-established universal provider of health care. Most primary care is delivered by general practitioner (GP)-run health centers (surgeries) that, subject to proposed policy changes, are increasingly central to the welfare geographies of the NHS. This article develops an analysis of a unique and hitherto underexploited data set, comparing the observed pattern of patient registrations at GP surgeries wit…
Campesinos y estancieros: Una región del Río de la Plata a fines de la época colonial
As Jorge Gelman notes in the introduction of this valuable work, historical research on Spain’s southern-most viceroyalty has expanded dramatically since 1984. One topic that has gained particular attention is the rural sector. While a number of researchers have explored the nature and operations of estancias and their impact on rural society, Gel-man has shifted his attention to an important but little understood topic: wheat production and its …

Characteristics of Northern Plains American Indians Seeking Substance Abuse Treatment in an Urban, Non-Tribal Clinic: A Descriptive Study
The Effect of National Service on Academic Performance at University
S ummary . The effect of national service on academic success at university was investigated by comparing the performance of groups of ex‐national‐service and ‘schoolboy’ undergraduates at the University College of Wales, Aberystwyth. The groups were equated on the basis of their attainments in the Higher School Certificate. For both Arts and Science students the percentage of ex‐national servicemen attaining an honours degree was less than that …
The Factorial Nature of Attainment in Elementary Science
S ummary . Objective tests of attainment in physics, chemistry, and biology were administered to over three‐hundred grammar‐school pupils, together with a battery of verbal, number and spatial tests. A factorial analysis yielded the following results: The tests of physics, chemistry, and biology formed a group factor over and above a general factor. Verbal, spatial and numerical group factors were also found. Attainment in science, as measured by…
Commentary on ‘The Genetic Determination of Differences in Intelligence: A Study of Monozygotic Twins Reared Together and Apart‘ by Cyril Burt
Ability in Science at Ordinary Level of the General Certificate of Education
S ummary . Objective tests of ability in physics, chemistry and biology were constructed, each test being structured into the three broad categories of (i) basic knowledge, (ii) comprehension and application, and (iii) evaluation, along the lines of the Bloom Taxonomy. The tests were administered together with tests of verbal, numerical and spatial ability to all the boys who had completed the Ordinary Level science syllabuses of the Joint Matric…
Variations in Performance in a University Entrance Test in English
S ummary . The performance of candidates in a university entrance test in English was analysed in terms of arts‐science choice in G.C.E. Advanced level subjects, type of school and size of sixth form. Generally, arts candidates did better than science candidates, and girls did better than boys. A significant second‐order interaction between school type, sixth‐form size and sex was revealed
The Performance of Sixth‐formers in General Studies
S ummary . The performance of groups of candidates on questions selected from the General Studies Advanced Level examination of the Joint Matriculation Board was compared. Four groups defined by the candidates' other Advanced Level subjects were selected: (i) a language‐literature group, (ii) a social studies group, (iii) a mathematics‐science group and (iv) a science (but non‐mathematics) group. In an analysis of performance on a balanced set of…
Personality and Performance in Elementary Mathematics With Special Reference to Item Type
S ummary . A stratified sample of 160 fourth and fifth‐year secondary school pupils, all of whom had completed a mathematics course leading to the Certificate of Secondary Education, were given a series of mathematics tests. These tests were structured into four sections according to item type, multiple‐choice, data sufficiency, multi‐facet and traditional, each section being divided into two broad content areas, number and space. A six‐way analy…

Les hommes de la pampa: Une histoire agraire de la campagne de Buenos Aires (1700-1830)
Juan Carlos Garavaglia began his work on the colonial economy in the Río de la Plata basin decades ago. This text is an ambitious and rewarding work. It provides a broad and detailed history of rural life in the areas surrounding Buenos Aires during the colonial era. While other recent works have focused on laborers, farmers, ranchers and the system of land ownership and use, he examines the region’s rural communities in their entirety.The book b…
Dendrochronological Dating Of Eastern Red Cedar (Juniperus virginiana L.) Logs From Alfred'S Cabin, The Hermitage, Home Of President Andrew Jackson
Alfred Jackson was an enslaved African American born on The Hermitage plantation (outside Nashville, Tennessee) of President Andrew Jackson around 1810, and lived most of his life on the plantation. Staff from The Hermitage wished to better understand and interpret lifeways of those once enslaved on the plantation, but the date of construction of Alfred's Cabin first had to be determined. Was it built when Alfred was enslaved or was a freedman? W…
Increasing Prenatal Care and Healthy Behaviors in Pregnant Substance Users
Evidence suggests that prenatal care, healthy behaviors such as exercise and nutrition, and general stress level are associated with fetal and maternal health but there is a relative dearth of research on interventions to improve these factors in pregnant substance users. Two hundred pregnant substance users entering outpatient substance abuse treatment were randomized to receive either three individual sessions of Motivational Enhancement Therap…
Including Accident Information in Automatic Bicycle Route Planning for Urban Areas
Between 2005 and 2007 there were 9071 traffic accidents involving bicycles within London and this paper demonstrates the utility of Geographic Information Systems as a tool for analysing and visualising these occurrences. Through linkage of these spatial locations to a street network dataset it was possible to create a variety of intelligence about the types of street infrastructure where accidents predominantly occur. Additionally, a network rou…
Say it, Don't Do It”: Male Speech and Male Action in Saturday Night and Sunday Morning
Alan Sillitoe's 1958 novel Saturday Night and Sunday Morning explores shifting masculine roles for working and middle-class men in England following the Second World War and the Korean War. I propose a reading of Sillitoe's novel that focuses on the abilities and the limits of male speech in the construction of a working-class masculine gender identity, including how those utterances work to establish differences and similarities. Furthermore, I …

Direct Democracy and Minority Rights: A critical assessment of the tyranny of the majority in the American states
This book conclusively demonstrates that direct democracy—institutions like the ballot initiative and the referendum—endangers the rights of minorities and perpetuates a tyranny of the majority. While advocates of direct democracy advocate that these institutions protect citizens from corrupt lawmakers beholden to special interests, Daniel Lewis's thorough investigation shows how such mass participation exposes minority groups to negative policy …
PP18 Spatial Profiling of General Practice Registration: Evidence From Southwark, London, UK
Background General Practices have a duty to serve their local community, and in doing so act as an advocate for further care, and as gatekeepers to the wider NHS. However, as reforms to the NHS erode the geographic basis for care commissioning via SHAs and PCTs, and with GP designed catchment areas largely unrepresentative of the distribution of patients served, particularly in urban areas, there is a need to better understand the characteristics…
A Health and Social Legacy for East London: Narratives of 'Problem' and 'Solution' around London 2012
Policies and programmes that tackle neighbourhood deprivation have long been a feature of urban policy in the UK and elsewhere. Large-scale urban regeneration and neighbourhood renewal programmes have been deployed as the primary vehicle to improve the health and life chances of residents of deprived neighbourhoods. Often these areas have a long history of efforts at regeneration and redevelopment and, over time, have become labelled as 'problem …
