Dog-assisted interventions to support health and wellbeing: A national survey of current practice in England
Introduction: In England, dog-assisted interventions (DAIs) are increasingly used to support the health and wellbeing of individuals with mental and physical health conditions. Although research in this area is increasing, little is known about the national prevalence and characteristics of DAIs in practice. Advancing knowledge is important to inform development of research, policy and practice in the field. Methods: An online survey of DAI provi…
Risk factors for severe Covid-19 outcomes in the Asia-Pacific region: A literature review
This comprehensive synthesis of severe COVID-19 risk factors specific to the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region addresses gaps in previous global studies, which often overlook regional demographic, epidemiological, and healthcare system variations. Three databases (PubMed, Ovid MedLine, Scopus) and two preprint platforms (BioRxiv, MedRxiv) were searched between December 1, 2019, and March 31, 2023. English-language publications from 11 APAC countries/reg…
Walking in two worlds: Insights from implementing a Tr'ondëk Hwëch'in approach to bridging knowledge systems in conservation and land use planning
Efforts to bring together Indigenous and Western science systems of knowledge have been ongoing for decades. In light of challenges related to knowledge integration, which have typically resulted in the favoring of Western knowledge systems at the expense of Indigenous knowledge, efforts to bridge these knowledges have expanded. Within such approaches, the two knowledge systems exist independently; one is not controlled or validated by the other.…
Using Paro, a robotic seal, to support people living with dementia: ‘What Works’ in Inpatient Dementia Care Settings
Introduction: The robotic seal PARO has received increased attention as a new technology to support people living with dementia in terms of emotional and physiological outcomes. However, little research has been conducted to improve understanding of how and why PARO may work within inpatient dementia care. We investigate for whom PARO works best in this setting, and why PARO may work. Methods: Informed by principles from realist methodology, qual…

S’ and ‘M’: The Last and Lost Letters Between Ann Quin and Robert Creeley
In her last letter to Robert Creeley, Ann Quin mentions that she has ‘been clearing out a lot of suitcases crammed with letters’. By contrast, Creeley kept this letter and one other inside his own copies of Quin’s novels, Three and Passages, separating them from his main collection of her papers. The filing of Quin’s letter inside Three suggests that the act of retrieving her from an archive could be at odds with her novel’s exploration of a coup…
Interview with Jasmina Cibic by Chris Clarke
Jasmina Cibic's artistic practice across film, performance and installation rigorously interrogates the aesthetics of politics. Her works are situated within grandiose architectural settings of national pride and power, from state assemblies to cultural monuments, while drawing on the historical events and individuals that determine shared conceptions of identity. In this interview, Cibic discusses ideas of soft power in relation to several recen…
Subjects Who Cannot Be Consoled: The Discarded Opening of Albert Angelo and the Queer Afterlife of “BS” Johnson in We Are Made of Diamond Stuff by Isabel Waidner
In the discarded opening section of Albert Angelo (1964), recovered by Jonathan Coe in his biography of B. S. Johnson, the narrator laments how “God had made another ballsup”: the protagonist’s “other half” is “almost a man instead of wholly a woman”. This essay reads Johnson’s abandoned representation of same-sex desire through the “tradition of queer backwardness” traced by Heather Love in Feeling Backward: Loss and the Politics of Queer Histor…
The strain of constraint: Loyalty, elasticity, and feasibility in translation
This article seeks to define and illustrate the notion of ‘constraint’ as it applies to literary translation. After a brief discussion of various ways in which the concept of constraint intersects with literary translation, the focus turns to the notion of ‘elasticity’, which describes tensions exerted upon the translator by factors particular to a given translation project, whether these are stylistic, formal, lexical, or intentional literary co…
Categorizing Professionals’ Perspectives on Environmental Communication with Implications for Graduate Education
The study of environmental communication originated as a diverse multidisciplinary field encompassing a wide array of communicator perspectives. However, as the field evolved, mass media and journalism became its perceived scholarly focus. As a result, environmental communication processes may be less well-understood across other settings, such as scientific and research institutions, non-governmental organizations, and federal agencies. To under…

Family Policies and Family Outcomes in OECD Countries
Families in OECD member countries have changed dramatically in recent decades. Across almost all OECD countries, couples are marrying and starting a family later than ever before. Fertility rates are low. Divorce and re-partnering have become much more common, giving rise to a diversity of new family forms. The (male) single-earner family model, previously dominant, is now largely a thing of the past. This chapter examines how families and family…
Platform lending and the politics of financial infrastructures
Online platform lending is typically understood as a challenge to incumbent banking institutions. Since its inception platform lending has been closely associated with particular financial and digital technological innovations that are thought to be changing how people engage in lending and borrowing around the world. In this article, I emphasize the deeply political aspect of these innovations. I claim that the platform lending model is built on…
Social Finance Meets Financial Innovation: Contemporary Experiments in Payments, Money and Debt
This special section explores the intersection of social finance and financial innovation in contemporary technologies of relational finance. The articles that follow study detailed cases of contemporary experiments in payments, money and credit-debt relations. By way of introduction, in this short piece we outline three paradoxes at the heart of these experiments: the feudal life of capitalist financial innovation; the social life of supposedly …
Experiments in Relational Finance: Harnessing the Social in Everyday Debt and Credit
In the wake of successive crises, novel politics and ethics are emerging around attempts to institute a 'new' world of finance in the name of social relations. Financial start-ups and development organizations, often working alongside established financial institutions, are experimenting with the 'social' in order to create markets and scale up their activities. At the same time, people continue to advance social claims in finance out of concern …

Work/life balance policy in Germany: Promoting equal partnership in families
Across the OECD, public policies seek to support parents in achieving their desired work/life balance. This article introduces the background to and issues at stake in promoting equal partnerships in families in Germany. Families in Germany face considerable challenges to spending more time together and achieving a more gender‐balanced reconciliation of work and family life, as paid work hours for fathers are long on full‐time jobs and many women…
Mainstreaming social finance: The regulation of the peer-to-peer lending marketplace in the United Kingdom
The article provides one of the first political economy accounts of the regulation of peer-to-peer (P2P) lending in the United Kingdom, drawing on interviews with platforms representing the vast majority of the market at the beginning of the regulatory process. The article links the regulation of P2P lending with debates about regulatory capture. It challenges conventional understandings of its consequences by showing how the regulation of P2P le…
The Impact of Constraint Visibility on the Translation of Constraint-based Writing
The Impact of Constraint Visibility on the Translation of Constraint-based Writing Chris Clarke (bio) The translation of constrained literature involves a number of difficulties not always present in the translation of more conventional texts. Many of the typical methods used by translators become insufficient when confronted with constraint-based writing, or more specifically with the enormous variation offered by this current of writing. Wherea…
Paid parental leave and other supports for parents with young children: The United States in international comparison
The United States is at a crossroads in its policies for families and women. Currently, the United States provides basic support for children, fathers, and mothers in the form of unpaid parental leave, child‐related tax breaks, and limited public child care. In contrast, the other member states of the Organisation for Economic Co‐operation and Development (OECD) empower families through paid parental leave and comprehensive investments in infants…

Learning to fail: Resilience and the Empty Promise of Financial Literacy Education
The requirement to build economic resilience in people has become a concern for the UK Government, regulators, and the financial services industry. Transposed to the realm of financial literacy education (FLE), the resilience doctrine performs particular effects in relation to the naturalisation and individualisation of financial market relations. At the same time, it tends to speak of the inevitability of market failures and crashes. I argue tha…
Mark Carney and the Gendered Political Economy of British Central Banking
In this article We account for Mark Carney’s role in the naturalisation of gender in finance and explain how this depoliticises important questions of gendered finance. We demonstrate Mark Carney’s ability to embody a successful combination of ‘transnational business masculinity’ and ‘traditional bourgeois masculinity’. We sketch how the current monetary and financial stability concerns of the Bank of England appear to reproduce the uneven and ex…

Financial Engineering, Not Economic Photography: Popular Discourses of Finance and the Layered Performances of the Sub-Prime Crisis
In recent years, significant studies of finance have explored, on the one hand, the ways in which a specific financial theory might act as a 'performative utterance' which through its use makes itself true and, on the other hand, the ways in which discourses and practices of finance might act as continuous performatives that constitute key categories of finance and the financial subject. On first glance, the idea of self-actualising financial the…

Paths between Positivism and Interpretivism: An Appraisal of Hay's Via Media
Hay's Political Analysis raises foundational issues for all social scientists, not least in its outline for a via media, or middle way, between positivist and interpretivist social science. In this view, social science should be firmly grounded in empirical study but take seriously the notion that there is no privileged vantage point from which to generate dispassionate knowledge claims about the social world. This article asks whether this appar…

Quantum Theory and Cosmolog
Interpretations, or generalizations, of quantum theory that are applicable to cosmology are of interest because they must display and resolve the “paradoxes” directly. The Everett interpretation is reexamined and compared with two alternatives. Its “metaphysical” connotations can be removed, after which it is found to be more acceptable than a theory which incorporates collapse, while retaining some unsatisfactory features
Excavation of pits containing decorated Neolithic pottery and early lithic material of possible Mesolithic date at Spurryhillock, Stonehaven, Aberdeenshire
This report describes a number of pits and a linear feature close to the scheduled cropmark site at Farrochie. The remains of a shallow curvilinear ditch and eight pits were recovered in one area which produced evidence for possible Mesolithic and Neolithic activity. In another trench a number of truncated pits with no associated artefacts were recorded. There are notes on: `The chipped stone' by B Finlayson (20); `Palaeoenvironmental results' by…
