Silencing the Voice: The fossil-fuelled Atlas Network's Campaign against Constitutional Recognition of Indigenous Australia
Australians will soon vote in a referendum to recognise Indigenous Australia in its 1901 Constitution and establish a First Nations Voice to Parliament. A year ago, polling suggested the referendum proposal of the 2017 National Constitutional Convention and its Uluru Statement from the Heart enjoyed 60% support. Since lead anti-Voice campaign organisation Advance Australia began its media offensive, the Yes vote has declined to 40%. This article …
Nonparametric Regression Analysis of Cyclist Waiting Times across Three Behavioral Typologies
This paper seeks to predict the average waiting time, defined as the time spent moving at 1 ms−1 or less, of urban bicyclists during rush hours while performing different maneuvers at intersections. Individual predictive models are built for the three cyclist typologies previously identified on a large database of GPS traces recorded in the city of Bologna, Italy. Individual models are built for the three cyclist typologies and bootstrapping has …
Fossil capital, ‘unquantifiable risk’ and neoliberal nationalizations: The case of the Trans Mountain Pipeline in Canada
Nationalization was once anathema to neoliberals and the hydrocarbon-based corporations long closely integrated with the neoliberal project. Indeed, the origins of neoliberal advocacy for global economic liberalisation can be traced, at least in part, to the resistance of oil multinationals to nationalist governments attempting to assert ownership and control over natural resources. It is therefore striking that calls are now mounting from this q…

Promises that Matter: Reconfiguring Ecology in the Ecotrons
Ecotrons are large instruments designed to produce experimentally valid knowledge through the controlled manipulation of enclosed, simplifed ecosystems. Situating the ecotrons within a select genealogy of artificial biospheres, and drawing on interviews with key researchers engaged in the conception and recent construction of two ecotrons in France, we propose to think through ecotrons as promissory and anticipatory infrastructures that materiali…
Socioeconomic status, comorbidity and mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus in Scotland 2004–2011: A cohort study
BACKGROUND: Mortality in people with and without diabetes often exhibits marked social patterning, risk of death being greater in deprived groups. This may reflect deprivation-related differences in comorbid disease (conditions additional to diabetes itself). This study sought to determine whether the social patterning of mortality in a population with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is explained by differential comorbidity. METHODS: Hospital rec…
OP49 Socio-Economic Status and Lung Cancer Incidence in Men with type 2 Diabetes in Scotland (2001-2007)
Background Diabetes is a chronic disease which affects c. 5% of Scottish men; lung cancer is the second most common cancer among men in Scotland. While both conditions exhibit marked social patterning (specifically, higher prevalence in deprived groups), little research has sought to determine whether the relationship between socio-economic status (SES) and lung cancer differs between men with and without diabetes. Methods Data from a population-…
Worlds to endure: Weathering disorder from Arnhem Land to Chicago
In this article I consider the cosmopolitical enfolding of Western and indigenous ontologies of order and disorder implicit in the production of a 'carbon offset' by the West Arnhem Land Fire Abatement (WALFA) project. The resumption in Arnhem Land of broad-scale land management by indigenous fire ecologists and its reframing as 'carbon farming' is contextualized within an historical analysis of the distinctions made between 'magical thinking' an…

The Wild Life of Pesticides: Urban agriculture, institutional responsibility, and the future of biodiversity in Sydney's Hawkesbury-Nepean River
Agricultural chemicals are a notoriously intractable source of environmental pollution. Offering enhanced agricultural productivity, they simultaneously risk degrading the ecological basis upon which agriculture depends. This paper considers chemicalisation as a cause of the erosion of aquatic biodiversity and ecosystem resilience, focusing on the Hawkesbury-Nepean River and the small-scale horticulturalists who supply the city's fresh vegetable …
Genealogies of resilience
The concept of ‘resilience’ was first adopted within systems ecology in the 1970s, where it marked a move away from the homeostasis of Cold War resource management toward the far-from-equilibrium models of second-order cybernetics or complex systems theory. Resilience as an operational strategy of risk management has more recently been taken up in financial, urban and environmental security discourses, where it reflects a general consensus about …
P2-313 Relative mortality from common cancers among people with type 2 diabetes and the effect of socio-economic status
Introduction Socio-economic status (SES) is associated with both type 2 diabetes and cancer mortality and may confound their association. Methods We performed a retrospective cohort study using a population-based national diabetes database for 35–84 year olds in Scotland for 2001–2007 and an area-based measure of SES. RRs for mortality from lung, colorectal, breast and prostate cancer among people with type 2 diabetes compared to the population w…
Patient involvement in assessing consultation quality: A quantitative study of the Patient Enablement Instrument in Poland
Background Promoting a more patient‐responsive service has been the focus of policy initiatives in newer EU states. One measure of success should be the patient’s assessment of their consultation with their doctor. Objectives To measure consultation quality in Polish primary care using patient enablement (a patient‐driven instrument developed in the UK) and to test its theoretical framework. To compare the patient enablement outcome of different …

Moving home: Costs associated with different models of accommodation for adults with learning disabilities
This paper reports on variation in the cost and social outcomes of provision for clients with learning disabilities, resettled across different models of community accommodation; identifying personal and service-related characteristics influential on such variation. The study was conducted to inform the community reprovisioning strategy associated with the phased closure of the Gogarburn and Tornaveen learning disability hospitals in the Lothian …

Philosophy in the Present Age
In this paper I want to raise an extremely ancient philosophical problem: the problem of the nature of philosophy itself. But I do not want to answer this question in the abstract, since it is never asked in the abstract. ‘What is philosophy?’ always means ‘What is philosophy for us here and now?’ It is with philosophy ‘here and now’ that I am concerned. Now this ‘here and now’ can be defined in many different ways; the definition I have chosen, …
Logical Questions Concerning the Concept of the Empirical Self
Abstracts from Inquiry Vol. 12 (1969), No. 2
The concepts of (i) being, (ii) change, (iii) causation, (iv) action, and (v) purpose are concepts of decreasing generality, in this sense: (a) each can be understood only in terms of its predecessor on the list, and (b) while the first applies to everything, the others, in order, have an increasingly narrow scope. Much Western philosophy has amounted to an attempt to reduce one or more of these to those that precede them, and thus eliminate them…

Embodiment and Self-Knowledge
Self-knowledge is a permanent and necessary aim for man. By ‘self-knowledge’ I mean the knowledge of oneself as a human being; the understanding of what it is to be a human being; the grasp of human nature as such. There are many sides to this knowledge: the sciences and social sciences, the arts, history, reflexion on day-to-day experience. Philosophy has traditionally been seen as a road that can lead towards self-knowledge. What I propose here…
