The myth of 'hearts and minds' in cold war Borneo 1962-74
‘Hearts and minds’ is inextricably associated with the successful British and Commonwealth ‘Confrontation’ campaign in Borneo following the earlier Malayan Emergency. Yet at the time the concept was nebulous and limited in application. This article examines its actuality, its efficacy and its legacy. Contrary to conventional accounts it demonstrates that ‘hearts and minds’ had no role in military operations but was applied solely to propaganda su…
Ian McDougall 1935–2018
Ian McDougall was a renowned Earth scientist who gained worldwide distinction for his research in the fields of K-Ar and 40Ar/39Ar geochronology. He was born in Hobart, Tasmania and obtained a BSc (Hons) at the University of Tasmania and a PhD at the Australian National University in Canberra. Following his PhD, he was introduced to the emerging field of K-Ar geochronology during a postdoctoral year at the University of Berkeley in 1961. On his r…
Time trends in ethnic inequalities in child health and nutrition: Analysis of 59 low and middle-income countries
Although measures of annual changes in ethnic or language group inequalities in child health were consistently correlated within each outcome, analyses of such inequalities should rely upon multiple measures. Countries showing progress in one child health outcome did not necessarily show improvements in the remaining outcomes. In-depth analyses at country level are needed to understand the drivers of success in reducing ethnic gaps

The Tijeras Pueblo Jewelry Project
Beads and other personal ornaments were recovered during excavations at Tijeras Pueblo (LA 581). In 2008, a volunteer project was begun (1) to identify potential jewelry artifacts from the site, and their contexts; (2) to develop criteria for classifying artifacts as jewelry; and (3) to make these data accessible to future researchers. Comparisons with other sites show that Pueblo IV jewelry consists mostly of beads and pendants, with a few unusu…
Rescuing Collections from Us: The Tijeras Pueblo Story
Most of the archaeological collection from Tijeras Pueblo (LA 581) was curated at the Maxwell Museum of Anthropology, University of New Mexico. As was typical of archaeological repositories in the mid- to late twentieth century, the collection was stored in a warehouse, using non-archival materials, with minimal curation records. Beginning in 2004, a massive volunteer effort led to the complete reorganization of the Tijeras Pueblo collection. Thi…
The redistributive power of cash transfers vs VAT exemptions: A multi-country study
Like high-income countries, low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) offer reduced rates and exemptions on particular goods and services in their value-added tax (VAT) systems. These policies are often motivated by distributional concerns and target items thought to take up a larger share of the budgets of poorer households. This paper explores the effectiveness of such policies in six LMICs. We estimate their impact on tax revenues, inequality a…
Sidgwick’s Kantian Account of Moral Motivation
Sidgwick begins the most important metaethical discussion of the Methods of Ethics (Book 1, Ch. 3) by contrasting an explicitly Humean with an implicitly Kantian view of moral motivation. Kantians endorse what can be called “the conflict claim”: they claim that there is such a thing as conflict between reason and desire; Humeans reject it. Sidgwick goes on apparently to defend the conflict claim by appealing to what can be called “the non-natural…
Rossian Ethics: W.D. Ross and Contemporary Moral Theory
This book has two connected aims. The first is to interpret and evaluate W. D. Ross’s ethics, focusing on the key elements of his moral theory: his introduction of the concept of prima facie duty, his limited pluralism about the right, and his limited pluralism about the good. The second is to articulate a distinctive view intermediate between consequentialism and absolutist deontology, “classical deontology.” According to classical deontology th…
Confrontation and Insurgency in Borneo, 1960–90
A considerable literature has accumulated on the ‘Confrontation’ conflict over the formation of Malaysia in the mid-1960s. Many accounts are of variable quality, especially where they lack knowledge of the local political and social context or ignore the complexity of often intertwined events. Conclusions from such limited studies can be misleading. This article identifies some aspects of the conventional narrative that should be revisited, parti…
Village Growth, Emerging Infectious Disease, and the End of the Neolithic Demographic Transition in the Southwest United States and Northwest Mexico
In the final centuries prior to the arrival of the Spanish, the southwest United States and northwest Mexico underwent two major sociodemographic changes: (1) many people coalesced into large villages, and (2) most of the villages were depopulated within two centuries. Basic epidemiological models indicate that village coalescence could have triggered epidemic diseases that caused the observed demographic decline. The models also link this declin…

American Muslim Immigrant Mental Health: The Role of Racism and Mental Health Stigma
Researchers have found that many American Muslim immigrants (AMIs) suffer from mental health problems, and an array of studies have identified racism and mental health stigma as key factors that negatively impact AMI psychological wellbeing. To date, no one has synthesized this literature into a cohesive review. To address this need, we have reviewed literature on racism and mental health stigma using Our findings indicate that AMIs' mental healt…

Prenatal Undernutrition and Autonomic Function in Adulthood
OBJECTIVES: Early-life adversity has been shown to be associated with cardiovascular disease and mortality in later life, but little is known about the mechanisms that underlie this association. Prenatal undernutrition, a severe early-life stressor, is associated with double the risk of coronary heart disease and increased blood pressure responses to psychological stress. In the present study, we tested the hypothesis that prenatal undernutrition…

The ‘Migrated Archives’ and a Forgotten Corner of Empire: The British Borneo Territories
The ‘migrated archives’, previously concealed files related to former colonies of the British Empire, were released over the period 2012–13. The first flurry of academic and journalistic interest, focused on possible revelations of the misuse of colonial power, soon subsided. Nevertheless, the archives have been valuable in enlarging knowledge of colonial policy-making. They have also aided exploration of the interstices between the official reco…

Processes of Policy Borrowing in Education: Some explanatory and analytical devices
This paper addresses questions of policy 'borrowing' in education. Building on the authors' previous work, it proposes some explanatory and analytical devices to assist in the exploration of the processes involved in 'cross-national attraction' in educational policy and its consequences in terms of decision making, implementation, and 'internalisation

Working-class Men's Constructions of Masculinity and Negotiations of (Non)Participation in Higher Education
This article draws on discussion group data collected with 64 ethnically diverse working-class men who were predominantly not participating, or planning to participate, in higher education. The article identifies how the men drew on various discourses of masculinity in their arguments for and against higher education participation, and discusses potential implications of these discourses upon working-class men's continued underrepresentation in h…

Archaeology beyond Anthropology
Archaeology's relationship to anthropology in the United States has been one of a natural and beneficial alliance. Archaeologists are currently showing more of an interest in formal models drawn from outside anthropology, but the classification of American archaeology as a subdiscipline in anthropology generally remains unquestioned. We argue that at the present time archaeological research is being hindered by its institutionalized relationship …

The Individual and the Social: A Comparative Study of Quality of Life, Social Quality and Human Development Approaches
The overall aim of this paper is to compare the human development (HD) and social quality (SQ) approaches in the context of quality of life in general and in relation to development in particular. It commences with a broad overview of several perspectives including: prudential values; Sen's capability approach; Berger-Schmitt and Noll's overarching quality of life construct; Phillips' quality of life construct; and Doyal and Gough's theory of Hum…

Neither a Borrower nor a Lender Be? The Problems of Cross‐national Attraction in Education
When Marc-Antoine Jullien put together the questionnaires appended to his Esquisse d'un ouvrage sur l'6ducation comparde [1] of 1816-17 with the express intention of identifying good educational practice and aiding its transfer to other systems, he sparked off an interest in the concept of educational 'borrowing' which has continued until today. Yet while one of the aims of comparative studies in education must indeed be to seek out and analyse g…
Researching policy borrowing: Some methodological challenges in comparative education
This article considers some of the methodological challenges involved in investigating, within the traditions of comparative research in education, the complex issue of educational ‘policy borrowing’. It discusses notions of ‘borrowing’ and ‘influence’ and refers to a model previously proposed by the authors for the analysis of what are seen as four stages in the policy borrowing process which can be tested empirically. These are identified as cr…
Welfare consequences of food prices increases: Evidence from rural Mexico
This paper presents an analysis of the welfare consequences of recent increases in food prices in Mexico using micro-level data. We estimate a QUAIDS model of demand for food, using data collected to evaluate the conditional cash transfer program Oportunidades. We show how the poor have been affected by the recent increases and changes in relative prices of foods. We also show how a conditional cash transfer program provides a means of alleviatin…
The Role of Contact Requirements in Producer Services Location
The authors explore the role of contact requirements in the locational tendencies of producer service establishments. Empirical evidence from two demand-side surveys suggests that close proximity between vendors and clients is required for contracts that involve frequent buyer-seller interaction (face-to-face linkages). These types of contracts are shown to be relatively low duration and/or low cost in nature. Specific activity classes that exhib…
Altruism and Intergenerational Relations among Muslims in Britain
Altruism, as a moral and social value demanding responsibility, caring, attachment and a concern for the benefit of the larger society, is a neglected area of sociology. It directly involves individuals' collective identity and affects their behaviour within the context of family and community. Drawing on 75 in-depth interviews with leaders and other members of the British Muslim community, the article addresses the nature, extent and variation o…

Adoption and Intensification of Agriculture in the North American Southwest: Notes toward a Quantitative Approach
Qualitative models are unable to explain the known variability in the adoption and intensification of agriculture in the prehistoric North American Southwest. Adoption of a quantitative approach (specifically, a model based on marginal costs and benefits) better accounts for that variability
Reaching and Engaging Hard-to-Reach Populations With a High Proportion of Nonassociative Members
Unlike research on "associative" hard-to-reach populations, such as those at risk of AIDS, which has been subject to extensive methodological scrutiny, few studies have explored strategies for researching nonassociative hard-to-reach populations: those whose members do not normally have contact with other members. This article contributes toward rectifying this imbalance. The literature review includes issues of representativeness, use of members…

Ceremonial Rooms” at Pottery Mound, New Mexico
Excavations at Pottery Mound, a Pueblo IV site on the Rio Puerco south of Albuquerque, New Mexico, exposed three types of rooms: kivas, domestic rooms for both habitation and storage, and “ceremonial rooms.” One of the last was sealed and contained ceremonial artifacts. Others were rooms whose internal features (and possibly also artifacts) differed from those of kivas and domestic rooms. The presence of “ceremonial rooms” at Pottery Mound may ha…

Methodological issues in psychopharmacological research: Chlorpromazine-a case in point
Past research on the relative efficacy of powerful psychotropic agents has generally relied on group designs, which may mask critical individual differences in drug response. This and other methodological inadequacies raise questions about much of the vast literature in support of the clinical efficacy of chlorpromazine and similar drugs. A research strategy employing within-subJect designs, using a single subject as his own control, is suggested…

Mortality from thyrotoxicosis in England and Wales and its association with the previous prevalence of endemic goitre
The distribution of mortality from thyrotoxicosis among women in England and Wales during 1968-78 correlates with the previous prevalence of endemic goitre. Mortality from the disease rose to a peak in the decade 1931-40 and then declined. This peak affected all age groups and can be attributed to the high fatality from surgery before the introduction of preoperative iodine to prevent thyroid crisis. An apparent cohort effect, whereby cohorts bor…

Seasonality of thyrotoxicosis
Study of a large and representative series of thyrotoxic patients showed a higher frequency of diagnosis in the spring and summer. The median interval between onset and diagnosis was 12 weeks, indicating a peak in onset of the disease from January to June. The seasonality of thyrotoxicosis may be related to seasonal variations in iodine intake
