Modeling post-disaster return mode choice of evacuees following large-scale evacuations: A national stated-preference survey-based analysis using machine learning and causal inference
Disasters caused by natural hazards pose significant threats to life and property, often requiring evacuation. While evacuation behavior has been widely studied, return mode choice during the re-entry phase following large-scale natural disaster evacuations remains understudied. This study addresses that gap using a national stated-preference survey of over 1000 U S. residents, modeling return mode choice with logistic regression, tree-based ense…

Degrees of Feminine Competence: Surface Aesthetics, Expertise, and Authority Among Drip Cake Baker-Influencers
This article explores the gendered expertise of neoliberal female influencers associated with a novel baking form, the “drip cake.” It engages in a close historically and theoretically informed analysis of a selection of popular online bakers’ content, majoring on their skill-sharing tutorials. Online images of drip cakes are distinctive and spectacular, and their creation is demanding. Yet they have become a mainstream standard of fashionable ba…
Monitoring the impact of chlorinated drinking water on the developing gut microbiota of adolescent mice using genetic profiling
Water chlorination as a method to deter the growth of disease-causing microbes has been standard practice in the United States for over a century. Toxicological studies that originally designated chlorinated water as safe for the human host failed to consider its impact on the developing gut microbiota. Here, this oversight was addressed through comparative assessment of the gut microbiota from post-weaned mice (B6) provided either chlorine-free …
Navigating Hypersexuality in Bipolar: Insights from a Corpus-Assisted Discourse Analysis of Reddit Posts
Bipolar is a severe mental health condition affecting at least 2% of the global population. Clinical observations indicate that individuals in elevated mood states, such as mania or hypomania, are more likely to engage in risk-taking behaviours, including hypersexuality. Characterised by an excessive preoccupation with sex, hypersexuality can lead to serious consequences such as sexual assault, unplanned pregnancies, and relationship breakdowns. …

What is important to service users and staff when implementing suicide-focused psychological therapies for people with psychosis into mental health services
Whilst all stakeholders viewed a suicide-focused therapy as valuable for people experiencing psychosis, they also recognize that enabling successful implementation of such interventions will require additional training, flexibility, and resources to existing services
How is automated and self-driving vehicle technology presented in the news media
The media continues to be a prominent and widely embraced channel for obtaining information on various topics, exerting considerable influence in shaping public opinions. This holds particularly true for the realm of automated vehicles (AVs), as the media consistently covers developments in this field, encompassing both positive aspects such as technological advancements, as well as negative occurrences like incidents involving self-driving cars …
Reducing traffic violations in the online food delivery industry—A case study in Xi'an City, China
Online food delivery (OFD) is one of the top industries in the Online-to-offline (O2O) commerce sector. Deliverymen need to complete a large number of delivery orders in limited default time every day, which cause high working stress to them. Therefore, a high level of traffic violations and crashes by deliverymen and corresponding negative impact on public safety are observed. To reduce traffic violations by deliverymen and resulting crashes, a …
Directly or Indirectly? The Role of Social Support in the Psychological Pathways Underlying Suicidal Ideation in People with Bipolar Disorder
Contemporary theories of suicide, such as the Schematic Appraisals Model (SAMS), hypothesize that negative perceptions of social support are implicated in the pathways to suicidal experiences. The SAMS predicts that perceived social support influences suicidal ideation through appraisals of defeat and entrapment. However, such pathways have not been investigated in people who have bipolar disorder. This prospective four-month study tested the inf…
Caring for a Family Member with Psychosis or Bipolar Disorder Who Has Experienced Suicidal Behaviour: An Exploratory Qualitative Study of an Online Peer-Support Forum

Possible Selves’ in practice: How students at Further Education Colleges in England conceptualise university
This paper reports on a project in the North of England that looks at the college-to-university decision-making processes of non-traditional students through the conceptual lens of ‘Possible Selves’, as initially developed by Markus and Nurius (1986) and applied to higher education by Harrison (2018), Henderson (2019) and others. Our data involves in-depth interviews with young people, and with the college staff responsible for advising and guidi…
Anxiety and Depression amongst African-Americans Living in Rural Black Belt Areas of Alabama: Use of Social Determinants of Health Framework

Data from a convenient sample of 159 African-Americans aged 18 or older were from two sites in rural Alabama. The levels of anxiety and depression were measured by the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ9). Multiple linear regre…
Bridging the know–do gap in African road safety through social work
The global road safety crisis disproportionately affects low- and middle-income countries, especially in sub-Saharan Africa. Indeed, with relatively low rates of vehicle ownership, Africa bears a disproportionate burden of annual road fatalities per population. Transportation and public health professionals have long been aware of the behavioral aspects of the global road safety epidemic. Successful collaboration of social work and public health …
Student loans as symbolic violence
This paper asks whether Bourdieu’s notion of symbolic violence is a helpful lens through which to view student loan systems. Symbolic violence occurs when two unequal agents unconsciously conspire in the oppression of the less empowered agent, thus reinforcing and legitimating existing stratifications. Using England as a case study, we draw on in-depth interviews with 74 graduating students at two types of university. Half of the interviewees wer…
Discursive framings of market-based education policy and their negotiation by students: The case of ‘value for money’ in English universities
Measures that economise education are typically accompanied by discourses that prime society for change by framing the policy in individualistic and consumeristic terms. This article explores the emergence of ‘value for money’ (VfM) discourses in the English higher education sector. Using Bourdieu’s thinking tools, we explore how VfM is conceptualised by final year undergraduates paying different levels of ‘headline’ tuition fees at a Russell Gro…

Geographic and source biases in network television news 1982‐1984
Content analysis of 5,190 network evening news stories appearing between May 1982 and April 1984 reveals two sorts of biases: a “geographic” bias whereby some geographic areas receive far more news coverage than is due them than their populations would proportionately predict, while others receive far less, and a “source” bias showing that governmental agencies and major institutions particularly business and major political parties are the most …
Using corpora to investigate antonym acquisition
In this study, a purpose-built corpus, containing both child-produced and child-directed speech, is used to conduct a longitudinal examination of antonym use among children from the age of two to five years old. Previous research has tended to approach antonym acquisition using either elicitation techniques or corpora of printed adult language. In contrast, this research focuses on the speech of preschool children in naturally-occurring interacti…

A sense of space: Virtual reality, authenticity and the aural
This paper re-examines the history of the apprehension, consumption and production of reality by means of the aural in light of developments in virtual reality technology. It argues that virtual reality has long been a domain of audio technology and that by acknowledging and examining its roots in aural media its connections to the discourse of authenticity are made clear. It proposes that critical analysis of virtual reality must make explicit i…
Expressions of student debt aversion and tolerance among academically able young people in low‐participation English schools
The 2012 rise in student fees, from £3375 to £9000 per year, made England one of the costliest places to attend university in the world. Drawing on evidence from higher attaining young people attending low‐participation schools, this paper renews established types of student debt aversion and tolerance, with sensitivity towards whether they reflect the (financial) ‘price’ of participation or the (cultural, social) ‘cost’ of participation. Finding…
Framing higher education: Questions and responses in the British Social Attitudes survey, 1983–2010
This article focuses on questions and attitudes towards higher education in the British Social Attitudes (BSA) survey series. First, we analyse the changing BSA questions (1983–2010) in the context of key policy reports. Our results show that changes in the framing of higher education questions correspond with changes in the macro-discourse of higher education policies. Second, we focus on the 2010 BSA survey responses to investigate how attitude…

Five faults and a submission: The case for the local government improvement programme
Despite the increasing body of evidence that questions the efficacy of central government performance instruments, there has been a reluctance to learn from mistakes made in the UK and elsewhere. This article examines some key dimensions of performance in the local government sector and suggests that there are at least five faultlines that undermine the Labour government's approach to date. In the context of the above the paper draws on longitudi…

The Kamin blocking effect, incidental learning and psychoticism
The Kamin blocking effect consists in impaired learning of an association between a conditioned stimulus (CS2) and an unconditioned stimulus (UCS) if CS2 is presented simultaneously with a different CS (CS1) already associated with the UCS. It is well established with animal but not human subjects. In the two experiments presented here, the effect was clearly demonstrated with UCS = a computer‐presented yellow square, CS1 = a blue square and CS2 …

A lexico-syntactic analysis of antonym co-occurrence in spoken English
Antonymy has always been regarded as a key lexical relation (see Leech 1974; Lyons 1977; or Cruse 1986). Recently, corpus data have allowed for the co-occurrence frequency of antonym pairs to be quantified and the various discourse functions of antonymy to be identified (e.g., Justeson and Katz 1991; Mettinger 1994; Fellbaum 1995; Jones 2002). The corpora upon which these studies were based all consisted exclusively of written language, so this p…
