The impacts of shipping emissions on lightning: Roles of aerosol-radiation-interactions and aerosol-cloud-interactions
Long-term (2005–2021) observations from the World Wide Lightning Location Network reveal significantly larger flash counts over heavily trafficked shipping lanes in the northeastern Indian Ocean compared to nearby regions. Here, we use the online coupled meteorology-chemistry model WRF-Chem to examine the impact of aerosols from shipping emissions on lightning activity over one of the world’s busiest shipping lanes (5–7° N, 82–92° E). We conduct …
Piloting the Virtual PLAYshop Program: A Parent-Focused Physical Literacy Intervention for Early Childhood
The PLAYshop program is a parent-focused physical literacy intervention for early childhood. This single-group mixed-methods pilot study aimed to explore the feasibility of virtually delivering and assessing the PLAYshop program. The virtual PLAYshop program included a virtual workshop, resources/basic equipment, and two booster emails (3-week and 6-week follow-up). Data on 34 preschool-aged children (3-5 years) and their parents from Edmonton an…

A Pragmatic Feasibility Trial Examining the Effect of Job Embedded Professional Development on Teachers’ Capacity to Provide Physical Literacy Enriched Physical Education in Elementary Schools
A gap in physical literacy (PL) oriented professional development (PD) for generalist teachers exists and thus their capacity to develop PL and maximize student health is potentially limited. We explored the feasibility of a novel job-embedded professional development (JEPD) program (10 weeks) and its impact on teachers' capacity to deliver PL-enriched physical education (PE) and student PL. A pragmatic feasibility trial with mixed methods includ…
Cutting Edge Thinking
The Credit Crunch ushered in an era of austerity with massive cuts and job losses. It highlighted the gulf between the world of real people and the abstraction of high finance. Put simply, to prevent the melt‐down of the global economy, the needs, hopes and ambitions of millions are being sacrificed. Who controls and issues money is key. To be viable any system must be big enough for people to have faith it won't fail, and it has to be administer…
Observation and Context
Certains anthropologues critiquent le travail d’artistes contemporains qui œuvrent en dehors de tout contexte, élément qu’ils considèrent essentiel à leur discipline. Mais inversement, l’excès de contextualisation de certains films des anthropologues donne un manque de vitalité. En revanche, des critiques d’art ont qualifié la façon qu’à l’artiste Cameron Jamie de documenter des éléments de la culture populaire de « jardin anthropologique ». Util…
Information in motion: Road vehicles as wireless relay stations for an ad hoc communications network
There is growing interest among automobile engineers and wireless communications researchers in the concept of a Vehicular Ad-hoc NETwork (VANET). Each motor vehicle on the road today provides a natural platform for mobile communications. When equipped with suitable on-board device, the population of vehicles in a busy area becomes a wireless network capable of relaying signals across considerable distances, without the need for a central transmi…
Mental health and resilience at older ages: Bouncing back after adversity in the British Household Panel Survey
Resilience is relatively rare and favours older women. It is fostered by high levels of social support existing before exposure to adversity
Traffic Jam Simulation
This research is concerned with the properties of incident-induced traffic jams on rectangular grid networks and possible measures for preventing and controlling them. However, while most conventional traffic management measures aim to increase capacity and hence postpone the onset of gridlock, this research develops several alternative strategies for protecting networks from gridlock and dissipating traffic jams once they have formed. The treatm…
Design of Traffic Circulation Systems to Minimise Conflict
At first sight, it might appear that the traffic planner faces an impossible task, trying to adapt the road network to accommodate the needs of road users traveling between different origins and destinations in a tangle of conflicting—and continually increasing—demands. During the 1960's, Professor Reuben Smeed and his colleagues adopted a radical approach. In their studies of urban movement, they pictured the network as a continuum, and using an…

Natural and Social Order at Walt Disney World; The Functions and Contradictions of Civilising Nature
Elias' theory of the civilising process is used to show how the Walt Disney World Theme Parks construct social control over visitors without calling into question the official presentation of these visitors as free, choice-making, experience seeking individuals. Particular attention is drawn to the manipulation of images of nature as either ‘wild’ or ‘civilised’ to code, respectively, forbidden and legitimate places for visitors. In doing so, WDW…

The Kappa Statistic in Reliability Studies: Use, Interpretation, and Sample Size Requirements
Purpose. This article examines and illustrates the use and interpretation of the kappa statistic in musculoskeletal research. Summary of Key Points. The reliability of clinicians' ratings is an important consideration in areas such as diagnosis and the interpretation of examination findings. Often, these ratings lie on a nominal or an ordinal scale. For such data, the kappa coefficient is an appropriate measure of reliability. Kappa is defined, i…

Self-management approaches for people with chronic conditions: A review
The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of self-management approaches for people with chronic conditions. The literature reviewed was assessed in terms of the nature of the self-management approach and the effectiveness. Findings are discussed under the headings of: chronic conditions targeted, country where intervention was based, type of approach (e.g. format, content, tutor, setting), outcomes and effectiveness. The last of these f…

Overcoming Perceived Barriers to Employment Among People with Arthritis
Work disability is a major problem for people with arthritis. The INTO WORK Personal Development (IWPD) programme aims to prevent work disability by addressing the internal and external barriers faced by people with arthritis seeking to fulfil their employment potential. The effectiveness of the programme was examined in a pretest-post-test study with an intervention group ( n = 37) and a comparison control group ( n = 42). Data were collected th…
Dimensions of the Center of Epidemiological Studies–Depression Scale for People with Arthritis from the UK
The aim of this study was to investigate the factor structure and to conduct an item analysis of the Center for Epidemiological Studies-Depression Scale (CES-D) among people with arthritis from the UK. This 20-item self-report scale was designed by Radloff in 1977 to measure depressive symptomatology in the general population. Data were drawn from a national study and collected through self-administered questionnaires mailed to participants, each…
A Fallible Safety System: Institutionalised Irrationality in the Offshore Oil and Gas Industry
The circumstances surrounding the explosion on platform Piper Alpha, July 6th 1988, are analysed in order to account for the failure of the principal administrative safety system, the Permit to Work. It is discovered that the system was incoherent and that failures to follow its procedures were endemic and normal. Two consequent problems are addressed. First, why were such unprocedural practices accepted, unremedied and engaged in by all levels o…

Routine Deaths: Fatal Accidents in the Oil Industry
This paper is a study in the relatively neglected field of the Sociology of Accidents and is concerned with fatalities in the UK Offshore Oil Industry. The purpose of the paper is to demonstrate the social and organizational causes of these accidents. Common sense and expert opinion both present industrial accidents as products of extra organizational abnormality but evidence from this research locates the causes of accidents in work organization…
