A process-oriented approach to equitable resilience
Drought is a recurrent hazard in Lake Naivasha Catchment Area, Kenya, a centre for commercial irrigated agriculture and horticulture. Drought affects smallholder farmers, pastoralists and larger-scale agricultural enterprises differentially. We gathered qualitative data through semi-structured individual and group interviews with representatives of all Water Resource User Associations in the area, focussing on drought impacts on various actors, a…
Financial Capability and Mental Health Among Youth Aging Out of Foster Care
Using secondary data from the Annie E. Casey Foundation's OPPS JCYOI, we examined the relationship between financial capability and mental health outcomes among 2635 young people aged 14–26 with current or prior out‐of‐home care experience. Key findings indicated that financial capability was a protective factor for mental health, whereas owing money and holding multiple jobs were linked to worse mental health and higher unmet service needs. Whil…
Race is a Contributing Factor to Clinico-Pathological Characteristics of Ameloblastoma at a Multi-Network Academic Hospital System
Ameloblastoma is an odontogenic tumor with an aggressive growth pattern and high recurrence rate. Impact of race and geographic location on clinico-pathological characteristics of ameloblastoma is unclear. The study objective was to assess race-dependent clinico-pathological characteristics and treatment approaches for ameloblastoma at a hospital network of an academic institution located in a racially diverse metropolitan city. Retrospective ana…
Access to Abortion in New Zealand After Law Reform and Covid ‐19; A National Cohort Study
Following ALR in Aotearoa New Zealand, women have a 21% better chance of having an abortion procedure < 10.0 weeks' gestation compared to before ALR, after adjusting for demographic variables. Although access improved for Māori women, inequity by ethnicity remains
Role of Fat Talk on the Relationships in the Bruneian Chinese Society
This research paper examines the role of “fat talk” in relationships in Bruneian Chinese society. “Fat talk” refers to negative comments about one's weight or body shape towards oneself or others. Using qualitative research methods, the study explores the perceptions and experiences of Bruneian Chinese individuals regarding “fat talk”, factors leading to the discussion of the topic, and its impact on their relationships with their peers. The find…
O futuro dos livros
A revolução digital teve, e continua tendo, um impacto dramático em muitos setores da mídia e indústria criativa, mas qual é seu impacto na nossa mais antiga indústria midiática – o mercado editorial? No início dos anos 2000, muitos observadores ponderaram que o livro impresso seria eclipsado por livros eletrônicos e outras formas de entrega de conteúdo digital, assim como o vinil fora substituído pelo download digital e serviços de streaming. Th…
The Pilgrimage to Sand Hill Road
Many entrepreneurs in the world of tech start-ups seek venture capital funding to establish and grow their businesses, but this can be a process fraught with difficulties and laden with long-term consequences. Most attempts to secure VC funding will fail, and most start-ups that are VC-funded will not succeed. Moreover, start-ups that do secure VC funding will tend to find themselves on a developmental trajectory that is very different from that …
Future PM 2.5 emissions from metal production to meet renewable energy demand
A shift from fossil fuel to renewable energy is crucial in limiting global temperature increase to 2 °C above preindustrial levels. However, renewable energy technologies, solar photovoltaics, wind turbines, and electric vehicles are metal-intensive, and the mining and smelting processes to obtain the needed metals are emission-intensive. We estimate the future PM 2.5 emissions from mining and smelting to meet the metal demand of renewable energy…
A multicriteria analysis of groundwater development pathways in three river basins in Sub-Saharan Africa
Reliance on groundwater in Sub-Saharan Africa is growing and expected to rise as surface water resource variability increases under climate change. Major questions remain about how groundwater will be used, and who informs these decisions. We represent different visions of groundwater use by ‘pathways’: politically and environmentally embedded socio-technological regimes for governing and managing groundwater systems. We presented policy actors (…
Demateriality and Photography in Conceptual Art
Insights into smallholder capacity for agricultural commercialisation
Over the last 15 years, the agricultural economics and development literature has amply highlighted success stories of smallholder farmers in developing countries, illustrating their increased engagement and integration with markets, in other words, higher rates of commercialisation. Yet, this seeming ‘success’ should not detract from the large proportion of farmers who, through engaging in high-value market chains, face high risks that often lim…
Dharma and its Discontents
This article critically re-examines the “received wisdom” on Buddhism— its history, traditional lore, monastic institutions, and ritual practices— acknowledging the fact of violence within Buddhism while striving for a nuanced understanding by looking at the life of Kumarajiva (ca. 344–413). A legendary figure in Sino-Japanese Buddhism, Kumarajiva has long been lauded as a wondrous exemplar of the Dharma at work, making accounts of his life valua…
The Father I Knew
The long-term impact of a father's involvement in offspring development is understudied. The current study investigated the relations between early paternal engagement (i.e., the amount of time fathers engaged in one-to-one activity with their child), paternal accessibility (i.e., fathers' physical proximity to their children) and later child behavioral difficulties. Data were obtained from five phases of the Auckland Birthweight Collaborative (A…
Applying a Social Exclusion Framework to Explore the Relationship Between Sudden Unexpected Deaths in Infancy (Sudi) and Social Vulnerability
Background: Sudden Unexpected Death in Infancy (SUDI) is a leading cause of preventable infant mortality and strongly associated with social adversity. While this has been noted over many decades, most previous studies have used single economic markers in social disadvantage analyses. To date there have been no previous attempts to analyse the cumulative effect of multiple adversities in combination on SUDI risk. Methods: Based on sociological th…
Mediated Interaction in the Digital Age
In The Media and Modernity, Thompson develops an interactional theory of communication media that distinguishes between three basic types of interaction: face-to-face interaction, mediated interaction, and mediated quasi-interaction. In the light of the digital revolution and the growth of the internet, this paper introduces a fourth type: mediated online interaction. Drawing on Goffman’s distinction between front regions and back regions, Thomps…
Analysing interactions among the sustainable development goals
Food politics and development
Food has become both a pivotal topic in development and a lens through which to integrate and address a range of contemporary global challenges. This review article addresses in particular the interrelationship between food and sustainable, equitable development, arguing that this is fundamentally political. We offer a set of approaches to understanding food politics, each underlain by broader theoretical traditions in power analysis, focused res…
Pinta Pasado, Crea Futuro
The trauma wrought by fascism in Spain continues to haunt the country and spur various memory-oriented inquiries. However, the youth has not demonstrated thus far that it will continue the memory projects currently conducted mostly by the third generation, aged approximately between fifty-five and thirty-five. Activist art inspired by critical pedagogy can provide one effective framework for engaging the Spanish youth in remembrance of the Second…
Back to Addams and Richmond
Social work has experienced unique tensions related to its professional identity and dual purpose of social reform and individualized treatment. Scholars have represented this dual purpose, epitomized by Jane Addams and Mary Richmond, as indicating irreconcilable differences. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the writings and speeches of Mary Richmond and Jane Addams, and, based on this inquiry, to assert that their respective approache…
Triple wins' or 'triple faults'? Analysing the equity implications of policy discourses on climate-smart agriculture (CSA)
This paper analyses contrasting discourses of 'climate-smart agriculture' (CSA) for their implications on control over and access to changing resources in agriculture. One of the principal areas of contestation around CSA relates to equity, including who wins and who loses, who is able to participate, and whose knowledge and perspectives count in the process. Yet to date, the equity implications of CSA remain an under-researched area. We apply an…
An iconographic exploration of the “rattlesnake” gorgets of eastern Tennessee
Compared to other gorget styles and themes made during the Mississippian period, the so-called rattlesnake gorgets of eastern Tennessee have been found in fairly large numbers. Stylistically, Muller assigned these gorgets to the temporally related Lick Creek and Citico styles, while Crawford's recent work has argued for substyles within. While their style has been studied extensively, the idea that these gorgets depict rattlesnakes generally has …

Dietary intakes in children born small for gestational age and appropriate for gestational age
Children born small for gestational age (SGA) have an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and associated risk factors in later life; however, little is known about their dietary intakes. The objective of this study was to assess dietary intakes in SGA and appropriate for gestational age (AGA) at 3.5, 7, and 11 years. The Auckland Birthweight Collaborative Study is a longitudinal case-control study of children born at term (n = 871). Ch…
Ahimsā and its Ambiguities
This paper focuses on the story of the Buddha’s encounter with Angulimāla, a vicious brigand who, subdued by the Buddha, renounces his outlaw ways for the monastic life, eventually attaining arahant status. The tale of Angulimāla has proven quite popular in Buddhist history and is often cited as evidence of how under the Dhamma no one is beyond salvation. Yet this story poses problems for our understanding and as such, has been repeatedly (someti…
The New Visibility
This article examines the characteristics of a new form of visibility which has become a pervasive feature of the modern world and which is linked to the development of communication media. With the development of the media, the visibility of individuals, actions and events is severed from the sharing of a common locale: one no longer has to be present in the same spatial-temporal setting in order to see the other or to witness an action or event…
Ideology and Modern Culture
Critical Hermeneutics
This is a study in the philosophy of social science. It takes the form of a comparative critique of three contemporary approaches: ordinary language philosophy, hermeneutics and critical theory, represented here respectively by Ludwig Wittgenstein, Paul Ricoeur and Jürgen Habermas. Part I is devoted to an exposition of these authors' views and of the traditions to which they belong. Its unifying thread is their common concern with language, a con…

Shifting Boundaries of Public and Private Life
High-profile political scandals are symptomatic of a profound transformation of the relations between public and private life that has accompanied and helped to shape the development of modern societies. While the distinction between public and private life is not unique to modern societies, the emergence of new media of communication, from print to radio, television and the internet, has altered the very nature of the public, the private and the…

Mass Communication and Modern Culture
This paper argues that the analysis of culture and mass communication should be regarded as central concerns of sociology and social theory. It develops a framework for the analysis of culture and shows how this framework can be applied to the study of mass communication. Focusing on the medium of television, the paper highlights some of the distinctive characteristics of mass communication and examines some of the factors involved in the product…

Dossier « Le réveil du dodo III » - La solidarité écologique
Cet article propose une première exploration du nouveau concept de solidarité écologique introduit dans le droit de l'environnement lors de la réforme de la loi sur les parcs nationaux français en 2006. Nous montrons que ce concept polysémique, tirant les enseignements de l'application de la loi de 1960, se fonde sur la prise de conscience des interdépendances du vivant et une nouvelle vision de la conservation de la nature. La solidarité écologi…
Challenging the populist perspective
Waiting at the tap
This paper reports on changes in water supplies in 16 sites in nine East African urban centres (including Nairobi and Dar es Salaam) between 1967 and 1997. The sites included both low-income and affluent neighbourhoods. In most sites, water supplies had deteriorated. For sites that already had piped water in 1967, most received less water per day in 1997 and had more unreliable supplies. For households without piped supplies, the average time spe…
The Theory of the Public Sphere
The Politics of Seed in Africa's Green Revolution
As calls for a ‘Uniquely African Green Revolution’ gain momentum, a focus on seeds and seed systems is rising up the agricultural policy agenda. Much of the debate stresses the technological or market dimensions, with substantial investments being made in seed improvement and the development of both public and private sector delivery systems. But this misses out the political economy of policy processes behind this agenda: who wins, who loses, an…
Participatory approaches in urban areas
The paper examines current experiences with the use of participatory methodologies in low-income urban communities. It outlines the nature and development of participatory approaches and describes experiences, prospects and problems related to their use in an urban context. Three case examples from the UK, Sri Lanka, and India and South Africa demonstrate how innovative approaches are being used by different agencies to strengthen and support the…
Rationality and Social Rationalization
Language and Ideology
This essay re-examines the concept of ideology and the relations between language, ideology and power. Two basic concepts of ideology are distinguished, a 'neutral' conception and a 'critical' conception, and the latter conception is developed and defended. To study ideology, it is proposed, is to study the ways in which meaning serves to sustain relations of domination. The analysis of language is thus central to the study of ideology, since lan…
In Search of Regional Industrial Culture
This paper examines the ways in which the institutions of organised labour contribute to the formulation of regional industrial culture. We argue that industrial culture is fundamental to an understanding of uneven regional development. This industrial culture is dynamic, both product and constituent of negotiated social activities that involve the traditions and capacities of labour as an actor in its own right. We address the question of precis…
Response to ‘Combining sustainable agricultural production with economic and environmental benefits
We suggest that a recent commentary piece in The Geographical Journal on Conservation Agriculture (CA) and the System of Rice Intensification (SRI) (Kassam and Brammer 2012 was misleading because it drew very selectively from the literature, and presented its conclusions as both widely accepted and uncontroversial. Kassam and Brammer's intervention in the continuing debates around CA and SRI can be understood as a manifestation of the new ‘contes…

The Fisheries Industry of el Salvador
The per capita availability of fisheries products in El Salvador is about 3.3 pounds per annum . The level, while low, is not out of the ordinary for tropical America. Seafood in particular, but animal protein in all forms, is little consumed by the great bulk of the population. It is the better endowed economic classes and the fishermen who account for most of the consumption of fisheries products. Other groups, chiefly urban, regard fish and cr…

Habermas
The essays in this book - all of them published here for the first time - provide a long-overdue critical discussion of Jrgen Habermas's cascade of ideas. These are topped off by a freshet of original Habermas: in the final essay, he replies to the criticism developed in the preceding contributions and to other recent assessments of his work, provides an important clarification of his earlier views, and reveals the direction of his current though…
