Integrating Australian Native Foods for a More Sustainable Food System: A Qualitative Co-Design Study with Aboriginal Communities
(1) Background: Integrating native foods into food systems has shown promising benefits for health, the environment, and the revitalisation of Aboriginal culture. This study aims to explore the benefits, facilitators, and barriers of integrating Australian native foods into the current food system and how traditional knowledge around these foods can be revitalised in a culturally safe way. (2) Methods: This qualitative co-design study involved th…
Information Regarding Shared Genes Between Humans Improves Attitudes Towards World Members
Laypeople reason that different races share 68% of their genes. In fact, the Human Genome Project indicates that humans, regardless of race, share 99.9% of our genetic material and that only 1/200th of 1% has been used to group people into the five classically conceived races. We reasoned that information about shared genetics might compel participants to extend their ingroup to include those formerly in the outgroup. In three studies, we showed …
Social Identity Mapping With Justice‐Involved Young People: Exploring Identity Pathways to Aid the Desistance of Criminal Offending
Social groups and the environments they create play a prominent role in the desistance versus persistence of young peoples' criminal offending. Social Identity Mapping (SIM) provides a quantitative method for understanding the social network of young offenders. This exploratory study was guided by two broad research questions: (1) using the SIM task, we wanted to investigate the experiences of young people moving through the Youth Justice System …
Seeking God’s Presence: The Dopaminergic-Defense Hypothesis
There is evidence that dopaminergic excitation contributes to certain religious experiences however, a natural mechanism by which hyperdopaminergia may be elicited in normative Christian contexts remains elusive. Panksepp’s dopamine-mediated “SEEKING system” offers a plausible endogenous defense against psychological stress, and is activated by rewarding stimuli, so it was hypothesized that significant psychological stress followed by social rewa…
Longitudinal Change in Authoritarian Factors as Explained by Political Beliefs and a Distrust of Science
During the COVID-19 pandemic there have been marked changes in individuals' belief systems (e.g., support for lockdowns) as a result of the threat of COVID-19. In the current study, we investigated whether these belief systems change as a function of changes in the threat of COVID-19. Specifically, we conducted a longitudinal study, with authoritarianism measured at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in New Zealand and when the threat of COVID-1…
The Emu: More‐Than‐Human and More‐Than‐Animal Geographies
The emu is endemic to Australia and is one of the world’s largest flightless birds. For Indigenous peoples, the emu is a highly significant and totemic species—a fact that is poorly recognised by many. Emu shows itself, and is positioned as: a national symbol in the Australian Commonwealth Coat of Arms; a spirit and Dreaming‐creation belief involving the sky; a scientific animal; medicine and food; an oil; and as a component that has been isolate…

RWAc and SDOc: The measurement of right‐wing authoritarianism and social dominance orientation in childhood
Right‐wing authoritarianism (RWA) and social dominance orientation (SDO) predict prejudice and discrimination in adults. To create analogous scales for children, we carried out four studies. First, we gave 112 adults from New Zealand (Study 1) and 146 adults from Turkey (Study 2) novel child‐appropriate measures of RWA and SDO, along with the standard adult measures. The two RWA measures correlated more highly with each other than with the SDO me…
Examining the legacy of the Warnock Report in Northern Ireland: A Foucauldian genealogical approach
Over 40 years after the publication of the Report of the Committee of Enquiry into the Education of Handicapped Children and Young People , commonly referred to as the Warnock Report , this article uniquely considers its legacy in the context of Northern Ireland. The article adopts a Foucauldian genealogical approach to consider first the specific context of the ‘emergence’ or ‘origins’ of the Warnock Report in the 1970s, highlighting competing p…
Express yourself? Ease to express one's identity mediates the relationship between national belonging and mental health
A number of studies have reported a positive relationship between levels of national identification and well‐being. Although this link is clear, the relationship is likely influenced by a number of other variables. In the current study, we examine two such variables: age and the ease with which people feel they can express their identity in the national context. Participants were drawn from three waves (2008–12) of the biannual New Zealand Genera…
Positive youth development in Māori and New Zealand European adolescents through an adventure education programme
Within Aotearoa New Zealand there is growing interest in positive youth development (PYD). A PYD approach provides balance to narratives surrounding outcomes for youth and broadens our views of what we consider beneficial developmental outcomes. In the current study we used sail training as a method to promote PYD in Māori and New Zealand European adolescents. Specifically, 54 Māori and 37 New Zealand European adolescents completed the 7‐day yout…
If, Why, and When Subjective Well‐Being Influences Health, and Future Needed Research
We review evidence on whether subjective well‐being ( SWB ) can influence health, why it might do so, and what we know about the conditions where this is more or less likely to occur. This review also explores how various methodological approaches inform the study of the connections between subjective well‐being and health and longevity outcomes. Our review of this growing literature indicates areas where data are substantial and where much more …
Subjective belonging and in-group favoritism
The Works of John Hunter, F.R.S.: With Notes
The surgeon and anatomist John Hunter (1728–93) left a famous legacy in the Hunterian Museum of medical specimens now in the Royal College of Surgeons, and in this collection of his writings, edited by James Palmer, with a biography by Drewry Ottley, published between 1835 and 1837. The first four volumes are of text, and the larger Volume 5 contains plates. Hunter had begun his career as a demonstrator in the anatomy classes of his brother Willi…

Refining the Chronology of the Neolithic Settlement at Pool, Sanday, Orkney: Implications for the Emergence and Development of Grooved Ware
New radiocarbon dates for the Neolithic settlement at Pool on Sanday, Orkney, are interpreted in a formal chronological framework. Phases 2.2 and 2.3, during which flat-based Grooved Ware pottery with incised decoration developed, have been modelled as probably dating to between the 31st and 28th centuries cal bc . There followed a hiatus of a century or so, before the resumption of occupation in Phase 3, which has a different Grooved Ware style …
Archaeological Signatures of Landscape and Settlement Change on the Isle of Harris
Between 2004 and 2011, a program of archaeological investigation by the University of Birmingham on the Isle of Harris, a distinctive island forming part of the Western Isles of Scotland, has allowed the archaeological remains of this enigmatic place to be further characterized and understood. Despite intensive archaeological interest in the archipelago for a number of decades, the Isle of Harris has been overlooked, and only now are we beginning…

Metamerism, morphogenesis, and the expression of carabelli and other dental traits in humans
The patterning cascade model of tooth morphogenesis has emerged as a useful tool in explaining how tooth shape develops and how tooth evolution may occur. Enamel knots, specialized areas of dental epithelium where cusps initiate, act as signaling centers that direct the growth of surrounding tissues. For a new cusp to form, an enamel knot must form beyond the inhibition fields of other enamel knots. The model predicts that the number and size of …

General Mental Ability in the World of Work: Occupational Attainment and Job Performance
The psychological construct of general mental ability (GMA), introduced by C. Spearman (1904) nearly 100 years ago, has enjoyed a resurgence of interest and attention in recent decades. This article presents the research evidence that GMA predicts both occupational level attained and performance within one's chosen occupation and does so better than any other ability, trait, or disposition and better than job experience. The sizes of these relati…

Ritual in Some Early Bronze Age Gravegoods
This systematic study of selected ‘Wessex’ Early Bronze Age burial assemblages was undertaken to reassess the original purpose of the artefacts deposited and their significance in the burial ritual. Use-wear analysis and fragmentation assessment has been undertaken on daggers, whetstones, bone objects and beads. Lithological and physical analysis was also undertaken on the stone objects. The results show a remarkable disparity in use and fragment…

Flax-growing in Orkney from the Norse period to the 18th century
New material from excavations at Pool, Sanday, stimulates an examination of the botany, cultivation, and processing of flax, together with its value in early subsistence economies. Rather than having been introduced in the 18th century, flax cultivation may have taken place from the Norse period to modern times. Au (adp A R)

Glasses from Scandinavian burials in the first millennium A.D
This study is an attempt to examine the significance of glass vessels from within burials. Anthropological, ethnographic, and literary evidence is deliberately avoided. The author maintains that by a careful examination of the material remains from the burial it is possible to throw some light on the importance of glass in daily life. This can be interpreted from the positions of the vessels, the presence of sets and pairs of matching vessels, th…

Excavations at Clatchard Craig, Fife
Neo and IA pottery was found but the multiple ramparts were all of Dark Age date. Ramparts 1 and 3 were timber-laced and had been burnt; radiocarbon dates suggest construction in the 6th/7th century AD. Rampart 2, on a different line, incorporated mortared Roman stones. Finds include a metal disc in hanging-bowl style and a group of clay moulds for penannular brooches of 8th century type. Au (abr)
XXIX. An account of certain receptacles of air, in birds, which communicate with the lungs, and are lodged both among the fleshy parts and in the hollow bones of those animals
The singular communications which are found to subsist, in birds, between the cavities of the lungs, and certain other cavities in the fleshy parts and in the bones, being peculiar to that tribe of animals, and having never yet been sufficiently explained, nor perhaps attended to, either by anatomists or natural historians

The church of St Nicolas, Aberdeen
Excavation in the transept of St Nicholas' Church suggests that the original building dates from 1153-57 and not, as previously claimed, to 11th century. Evidence for medieval modifications is described, and there is an architectural and an archaeological account of the pre- and post-Reformation features of the building. The archaeology of the church is shown to have a bearing on the history and growth of the medieval city. R K M
Excavation at Ardeer, Ayrshire
This site was discovered in June 1973 as a result of building operations being carried out by ICI in Stevenston at Ardeer Recreation Club, which occupies the site of Ardeer House. In the former gardens of the mansion (NGR NS 27054191), the cutting of a services trench revealed the capstones covering part of drystone walled passage. Several capstones were removed, causing damage to the side walls. At this point the matter was brought to my attenti…

Government by Grant: The Case of Housing Renovation
Public policies increasingly consist of attempts by governments to modify market processes. A major market based policy instrument is the payment of cash incentives to private individuals and organisations. This paper evaluates the success of one such policy, housing grants which are intended to stimulate renovation activity. A statistical model of renovation by private households is specified and tested. The explanatory variables in the model in…

A new Neolithic burial cairn in Orkney
During the excavation of a series of post--medieval boat nousts at Hurnip's Point, Deerness, Orkney, in 1991 it was discovered that one of the nousts had been constructed against the side of an earlier cairn. Topographical and geophysical surveys showed the cairn to be tadpole--like in shape with a total length of some 60m. Exploratory excavation of the `tail' of the cairn suggested that the monument was probably a Neolithic passage grave

Social identity and intergroup evaluative bias: Realistic categories and domain specific self-esteem in a conflict setting
Social identity theory predicts a link between self-esteem and intergroup discrimination. Previous research has failed to find consistent support for this prediction. Much of this research has, however, been beset by a number of methodological shortcomings. These shortcomings may have hindered attempts to discern a consistent relationship between self-esteem and intergroup discrimination. The current investigation sought to overcome these difficu…

Are there benefits from NHST
Are there benefits from NHST
Krueger’s (January 2001) thesis can be summarized as follows: Induction is central to science (true). From a philosophical perspective, induction cannot be defended logically but can be defended pragmatically— because it leads to progress in science (true). Null hypothesis significance testing (NHST) is a good tool—perhaps the essential tool— for induction and inference from research data (false). NHST is like induction: It cannot be defended log…
Flying the Flag: Identities, the Nation, and Sport
This article sets the scene for this special edition, which was originally inspired by the 2001 Brunel University Conference on "The Nation and Sport". The distinctive complexities to the interface of sport, nation and identities are illustrated. The notion that sport presents a problematic intervention into the concept of a nation and the reshaping of identities is investigated along with the imbalance in the depth of consideration from differen…
