Not All Math Activities Are Equal in Terms of Gender Stereotypes
The "math as male" stereotype is societally pervasive and emerges early in development. However, math is a broad and multifaceted domain that requires proficiency in several different cognitive skills. The current study explored the gender stereotypes associated with toys linked to the cognitive skills of numeracy, spatial reasoning, and patterning. Across three studies ( N = 878), adults viewed toys associated with each cognitive skill and repor…
Projecting the Effects of Climate-Driven Migration and Development on Heritage Resources
We combine mathematical modeling, population growth data, archaeological survey data, and GIS analysis to project that tens of thousands of archaeological sites will be destroyed by development in Illinois by the year 2100. Climate-driven migration from less hospitable areas of the United States is likely to contribute to the growth and expansion of existing municipalities, converting millions of hectares of natural and agricultural land into urb…
Urban communication in China
The paper interrogates the use of transmedia storytelling as an effective bottom-up form of urban communication. The authors identify a gap in the scholarly literature concerning urban communication. They explore the utility of transmedia storytelling in China, where urban communication is refracted through top-down governmental 5 Year Plans. These plans, through their national, regional and municipal manifestations, may limit the scope for innov…

The fluidity of soft power in YouTube’s broadcast of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic Games
In an era of heightened geopolitical tension, marked by a dynamic power shift between the West and China, the 2022 Winter Olympic Games emerged as a focal point of diplomatic contention. Several Western nations signalled their dissent through diplomatic boycotts, while China, conversely, seized this platform to strategically enhance its soft power. This paper explores how the Chinese government utilized the 2022 Winter Olympic Games’ opening cere…
A First Approximation of Large-Scale, Long-Term Population Changes in the Precontact Wabash River Valley in Illinois
Ideas about how population movements contributed to the large-scale, long-term changes that played out among the precontact American Indian societies of the midcontinent are based largely on archaeological research focused in core occupation areas, such as the valleys of the Mississippi, Ohio, and Illinois Rivers. The less intensively occupied parts of the landscape at the margins of such core areas would have been involved in the push-and-pull d…

A Large-Scale Appraisal of Paleoindian Spatial Demography in the East ern Woodlands
From copycat to copyright
Many commentators have in the past hailed the production in China of lower cost versions of famous Chinese and international cultural and media products, better known as a shanzhai (山寨) form of production. Against that, this paper argues that there has been a significant move away from a copycat model in the Chinese creative industries, a trend which should be viewed within the context of China’s obligations as a full member of the WTO. This pape…
The DCMS Committee’s inquiry on the economics of music streaming and its implications for artists
This paper analyses the Department of Digital, Culture, Media & Sport committee's inquiry into the economics of music streaming. The scrutiny of the committee's oral and written evidence, and final report is placed within the context of the music industry's significance to UK cultural policy since the late 1990s. The perspectives of the UK's musicians and song-writers are a focal point of the analysis of the inquiry's published documentation, as …
Turrem Et Castrum ’
This paper sets out to interpret the archaeological evidence of the five known Roman fortlets on the Yorkshire coast in a novel way, especially as to the structure and appearance of the sites, and how they were used. In particular it examines the use of stylobate blocks and vertical posts, and makes some comparisons with contemporary small forts and burgi on the Rhine and Danube frontiers, and with maritime defences in Wales. It also looks at evi…
A New Radiocarbon Database for the Lower 48 States
From 2014 to 2020, we compiled radiocarbon ages from the lower 48 states, creating a database of more than 100,000 archaeological, geological, and paleontological ages that will be freely available to researchers through the Canadian Archaeological Radiocarbon Database. Here, we discuss the process used to compile ages, general characteristics of the database, and lessons learned from this exercise in 'big data' compilation
Climate Change and the Practice of Medicine
Despite calls for including content on climate change and its effect on health in curricula across the spectrum of medical education, no widely used resource exists to guide residency training programs in this effort. This lack of resources poses challenges for training program leaders seeking to incorporate evidence-based climate and health content into their curricula. Climate change increases risks of heat-related illness, infections, asthma, …
A Critique of the Case for Paleoindian Caribou Hunting on the Submerged Alpena-Amberley Ridge
A series of papers has developed the claim that stone features on the submerged Alpena-Amberley Ridge (AAR) in Lake Huron provides unique insight into the Paleoindian caribou-hunting economies of the Great Lakes. The documented human occupation of the AAR dates to the late Early Holocene (about 9000 calendar years ago): however, a time when glacial ice was far to the north and the region was occupied by hunting-gathering societies with ties to th…
Overcoming ‘confirmation bias’ and the persistence of conspiratorial types of thinking
Discussions on media and fakery are usually premised on the general public being manipulated by mainstream media bias or fabrications emanating from the Internet. It is less common in the discipline of media and communication to speculate about users’ reasons for accepting what appear to be basic untruths: I will suggest here that discussions about users’ complicity must become more central to our attempts to understand media and fakery. Rather t…
Lithic Transport Patterns, Tool Curation Behavior, and Group Range Estimates
The distances that prehistoric hunter-gatherers transported lithic artifacts are often used to estimate how far groups moved across the landscape. Changes in the scales of stone tool transport, likewise, are frequently attributed to changes in group mobility behaviors. It is unclear what effects, if any, technological changes related to the design, manufacture, use, and discard of stone tools would have had on the broad archaeological patterns of…

How online video platforms could support China’s independent microfilm (short film) makers and enhance the Chinese film industry
As with the US and EU media landscapes, the Chinese film industry is dominated by platforms similar to Netflix, Hulu and Amazon, most notably in the form of the BAT (Baidu, Alibaba, Tencent) companies that according to He (2015) are “taking over the film industry”. These have been described as “imperialistic” in the monopolization of their respective markets and in the use of their financial muscle to squeeze content creators' incomes (Jin, 2015)…
International TV series distribution on Chinese digital platforms
The relationship between online media platforms in China and fan groups is a dynamic one when it comes to the distribution of international TV series and other media content, as media platforms incorporate user-generated content to encourage or foster audience engagement. Through a series of case studies, this article investigates how international TV series are acquired, distributed, marketed and curated on Chinese online video platforms. This h…
Homophobia and the perception of psychological differences
The present research examined the extent to which one’s negative attitudes towards gay individuals influences perceptions of psychological differences between straight and gay groups. Previous research indicates that endorsement of sexist ideologies predicts the exaggeration of psychological differences between men and women. We attempted to replicate these findings in the domain of sexual identity across two studies. Study 1 presented participan…
A Universal Basic Income in the Superstar (Digital) Economy
This paper argues that the structural logic of the digital economy is to widen inequality, not only through its increasing automation of jobs but also in its efficiency in delivering ever greater profits to a smaller number of already-enriched organisations and individuals. Remedial actions that might be taken to mitigate the effects of some of the digital economy’s structural flaws are interrogated here, with a particular focus on universal basi…

A History of the Warfare of Science with Theology in Christendom
"Given the powerful and forthright title of Andrew Dickson White's classic study, it is best to make clear his own sense of the whole as given in the original 1896 edition: "My conviction is that science, though it has evidently conquered dogmatic theology based on biblical texts and ancient modes of thought, will go hand in hand with religion, and that although theological control will continue to diminish, religion as seen in the recognition of…
Greek Theatre between Antiquity and Independence
This first general history of Greek theatre from Hellenistic times to the foundation of the Modern Greek state in 1830 marks a radical departure from traditional methods of historiography. We like to think of history unfolding continuously, in an evolutionary form, but the story of Greek theatre is rather different. After traditional theatre ended in the sixth and seventh centuries, no traditional drama was written or performed on stage throughou…
A Model-Based Analysis of the Minimum Size of Demographically-Viable Hunter-Gatherer Populations
A non-spatial agent-based model is used to explore how marriage behaviors and fertility a ect the minimum population size required for hunter-gatherer systems to be demographically viable. The model incorporates representations of person-and household-level constraints and behaviors a ecting marriage, reproduction, and mortality. Results suggest that, under a variety of circumstances, a stable population size of about persons is demographically v…
Functional and Stylistic Variability in Paleoindian and Early Archaic Projectile Points from Midcontinental North America
Early projectile points from Midcontinental North America vary significantly in size and shape. Understanding the functional and stylistic aspects of this variability on a large spatial scale is a precursor to using this class of artifacts to evaluate and refine models of the social interaction of early hunter-gatherers in this region. Metric data from a sample ( n = 1771) of Early Paleoindian (ca. 11,050-10,800 RCYBP), Late Paleoindian (ca. 10,3…

A critique of China's cultural policy and the development of its cultural and creative industries
This paper analyses the development of China's creative and cultural industries using the city of Shanghai as a case study. The authors argue that while the difficulty of applying a uniform policy to the whole of China has created ambiguities which creative workers can exploit for their own ends, the opportunities that these afford are more economic in orientation as creativity still takes place within the parameters laid down by the Chinese gove…
Mortality, fertility, and the OY ratio in a model hunter–gatherer system
An agent‐based model (ABM) is used to explore how the ratio of old to young adults (the OY ratio) in a sample of dead individuals is related to aspects of mortality, fertility, and longevity experienced by the living population from which the sample was drawn. The ABM features representations of rules, behaviors, and constraints that affect person‐ and household‐level decisions about marriage, reproduction, and infant mortality in hunter–gatherer…
A grey literature review of the UK Department for Culture, Media and Sport's Creative Industries Economic Estimates and Creative Economy research programme
This is a review of the DCMS's annual estimates of the size, scope and activities of the UK's creative industries, with a particular focus on the latest publication in January 2009. Running parallel to these estimates is a research programme, latterly codified as the Creative Economy Programme (CEP), which constantly assesses and periodically modifies the methodologies used for collating statistics. This programme is also reviewed, primarily thro…

Delinquency in Emerging Adult Females
Delinquent behavior has consistently been shown to be related to adverse outcomes later in life, ranging from educational difficulties to mental health problems and even premature mortality. Although previous studies have found social, family, and personality factors all contribute to delinquency, the majority of these studies have focused on either male or clinical samples. The current study goes beyond past research by examining how the subscal…
Painting Peace? Murals and the Northern Ireland Peace Process
Murals have figured as a prominent feature of the visual environment of Northern Ireland since the early twentieth century, developing, during the Troubles, into one of the best-known examples of political art in the world. This article examines the position occupied by these murals in the period (since 1994) of the peace process. It focuses on the multi-government-agency Re-imaging Communities programme (launched in 2006) and its attempt to inte…
Observing the work of an urban safety-net psychiatric emergency room
Staff in the psychiatric emergency room (PER) have demanding jobs requiring a complex balance between the needs and safety of the individual and the community, systemic resources, and job responsibilities while providing timely, effective care. Little research exists concerning day-to-day work activities of PER staff, their interaction, and their perceptions of their work. This study explored the work of PER staff and the organisational context o…
A developmental perspective on technological change
Generalized processes of technological development have implications for understanding change in prehistoric technologies. Documented cases of development typically follow a pattern where a period of rapid performance increase is followed by a period of more gradual change. This pattern appears to be the result of basic evolutionary search processes. If key variables related to performance can be identified and quantified, patterned changes in th…

Spatial Variation and Distribution of Phosphorus Forms in Bottom Sediments of Two Canadian Shield Lakes
Nutrient dynamics in lake systems are influenced by the loading of sediment‐associated phosphorus (P) from both internal and external sources. Despite efforts to control lake productivity through reductions in external P loading, water quality problems persist in some lakes due to high internal loading of P from bottom sediment. The present study examines the spatial distribution of chemically defined P forms (NH 4 Cl‐RP, BD‐RP, NaOH‐RP, HCI‐RP, …
Climate change impacts on ecosystems and the terrestrial carbon sink
Global response of terrestrial ecosystem structure and function to CO 2 and climate change
The possible responses of ecosystem processes to rising atmospheric CO 2 concentration and climate change are illustrated using six dynamic global vegetation models that explicitly represent the interactions of ecosystem carbon and water exchanges with vegetation dynamics. The models are driven by the IPCC IS92a scenario of rising CO 2 ( Wigley et al . 1991 ), and by climate changes resulting from effective CO 2 concentrations corresponding to IS…

Is Contemporary Ulster Unionism in Crisis? Changes in Unionist Identity during the Northern Ireland Peace Process
This paper addresses the way in which the Northern Ireland Peace Process has impacted on unionist identity. In particular, it offers a critique of the three constituent philosophies of unionism – cultural unionism, liberal unionism and economic unionism – and suggests that a new form of unionism that reflects the altered polity of Northern Ireland must be constructed
Watching the Directive
This paper investigates the way in which the European Union's Television Without Frontiers directive (recently re-named the Audio-Visual Media Services directive, AVMS) was implemented by two neighbouring states, the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland. Focusing on the broadcasting rights for live international cricket matches in England and the rights for the live coverage of the Republic of Ireland soccer team's competitive home matches,…

The Flying of Israeli Flags in Northern Ireland
In the spring of 2002 Israeli flags began to appear in loyalist communities in Northern Ireland. The appearance of these flags was in one respect explained as a response to the increased prevalence of Palestinian flags in nationalist neighbourhoods. However, the appearance and continued display of the Israeli flag can be seen to extend beyond a “wholly relational” dynamic to encompass the connotations this flag has come to possess for those who f…

Subsistence economics, family size, and the emergence of social complexity in hunter–gatherer systems in eastern North America
An Abstract Model Showing That the Spatial Structure of Social Networks Affects the Outcomes of Cultural Transmission Processes
Space plays an important role in the transfer of information in most societies that archaeologists study. Social networks that mediate learning and the transmission of cultural information are situated in spatial environments. This paper uses an abstract agent-based model to represent the transmission of the value of a single stylistic variable among groups linked together within a social network, the spatial structure of which is varied using a …
Functional and Stylistic Variability in Paleoindian and Early Archaic Projectile Points from Midcontinental North America
Early projectile points from Midcontinental North America vary significantly in size and shape. Understanding the functional and stylistic aspects of this variability on a large spatial scale is a precursor to using this class of artifacts to evaluate and refine models of the social interaction of early hunter-gatherers in this region. Metric data from a sample ( n = 1771) of Early Paleoindian (ca. 11,050-10,800 RCYBP), Late Paleoindian (ca. 10,3…
Art for art’s sake? A critique of the instrumentalist turn in the teaching of media and communications in UK universities
This paper charts the turn in the UK New Labour government’s (1997–2010) creative industries policy from an early focus on encouraging wider access to the arts to an increasingly instrumentalist emphasis on self-funding and the generation of wealth from intellectual property. The paper demonstrates the effect of this policy primarily through the case of the teaching of media and communications in UK universities. Focusing on the Skillset Media Ac…
