Innovative approach to the verification of the alleged pregnancy and cancer in the Warsaw mummy
Evaluation of wastewater surveillance for Sars-CoV-2 in a prison population
Background: Prisons are high-risk settings for the transmission of communicable disease. Robust surveillance systems are required to identify and control outbreaks. Wastewater surveillance for SARS-CoV-2 was introduced in four prisons in Wales in March 2022. We investigated its contribution to the COVID-19 surveillance programme. Methods: We evaluated prison wastewater surveillance against eight system attributes using a mixed-methods approach. S…

Research priorities for global food security under extreme events
Extreme events, such as those caused by climate change, economic or geopolitical shocks, and pest or disease epidemics, threaten global food security. The complexity of causation, as well as the myriad ways that an event, or a sequence of events, creates cascading and systemic impacts, poses significant challenges to food systems research and policy alike. To identify priority food security risks and research opportunities, we asked experts from …
Bhutanese or Nepali? The Politics of Ethnonym Ambiguity
For the group of Nepali-speaking refugees who fled Bhutan in the early 1990s, there exists no consensus ethnonym, but rather multiple terms—‘Nepali’, ‘Bhutanese’ and ‘Lhotshampa’. Based on a mixed methods approach, this article addresses the politics of ethnonym ambiguity by contextualising current naming practices within the group’s legacy of displacement as migrants in Bhutan and refugees in Nepal. In resettlement in the United States, refugees…
Global maps of travel time to healthcare facilities
From Romance to Tragedy
Based on 3 years of research with Nepali Bhutanese refugees in the Dallas–Fort Worth region of the southern US, this article asks how house ownership affects the meaning of home in third-country resettlement. While research participants initially depicted the owned house as a recovery of the pre-exile home, their narratives shifted when many started considering moves to the northern states of Ohio and Pennsylvania. In follow-up interviews based o…

Architectural tradition and modernity as crypto‐colonial ways of seeing
This essay compares the architectural responses to Kathmandu's 1934 and 2015 earthquakes through a postcolonial framework. While rulers and elites used post‐1934 reconstruction to impose their notion of modernity upon the city, in post‐2015 reconstruction, conservationists see an opportunity to remake the traditional city. Instead of framing modernity and tradition as opposing forces, however, this essay reconsiders references to both as markers …
A global map of travel time to cities to assess inequalities in accessibility in 2015
Travel time to cities in 2015 is quantified in a high-resolution global map that will be useful for socio-economic policy design and conservation research. Resources that sustain human wellbeing, such as education, jobs and health services, are distributed unequally, with higher concentrations in dense urban areas. Increasing access to such opportunities and services is a key factor in the advancement of fair and sustainable development. Integrat…
Betrayed by the Neoliberal State, Neglected by the “ Jangali ” Company
Like much of the global spread of gated communities and fortified enclaves, the emergence of Kathmandu's “housing” industry (housing colonies and apartment complexes) grew out of neoliberal reforms. The restructuring of Nepal's economy and government created the conditions for privatized housing infrastructure, management, and services to cater to elites dissatisfied with the post‐1991 processes of democratization and declining conditions in the …

Paleoimagen y análisis bioantropológico de la colección Maranga del Museo Jacinto Jijón y Caamaño
Este artículo recoge los resultados de los estudios de Paleoimagen y análisis Bioantropológicos realizados en 38 fardos funerarios, parte de la colección de restos humanos peruanos que se encuentra en el Museo Jacinto Jijón y Caamaño, en el Centro Cultural de la PUCE. La investigación realizada en el 2013 se centró en tres temas: conservación de los fardos, descripción de los individuos y composición de los fardos, con miras a interpretar datos p…
The other boys of Kilmichael'
The Kilmichael incident of November 1920, in which an Irish Republican Army (I.R.A.) column of nearly forty men ambushed and killed all bar one of a motorized patrol of eighteen Auxiliary Division Royal Irish Constabulary cadets, proved to be one of the I.R.A.'s most noted victories of the Anglo-Irish War. Recent historiography has been dominated by controversy over the late Peter Hart's 1998 conclusion that contemporary British claims of I.R.A. …
Effectiveness of Strict vs. Multiple Use Protected Areas in Reducing Tropical Forest Fires
Protected areas (PAs) cover a quarter of the tropical forest estate. Yet there is debate over the effectiveness of PAs in reducing deforestation, especially when local people have rights to use the forest. A key analytic problem is the likely placement of PAs on marginal lands with low pressure for deforestation, biasing comparisons between protected and unprotected areas. Using matching techniques to control for this bias, this paper analyzes th…
From 'Unmodern Sherpas' to Madhesi Cricketers
In a recent issue of this journal, Kausik Bandyopadhyay (International Journal of the History of Sport 22, no. 4 (2005): 709) lamented the dearth of scholarship that considers sport in India to be a 'serious intellectual discipline'. His observation is ever more fitting for India's neighbor to the north, Nepal, where even 'popular sports histories' are lacking. The one exception would be the global interest in Himalayan mountaineering. As a resul…

Syndromic surveillance using minimum transfer of identifiable data
Huesos a la deriva. Tafonomía y tratamiento funerario en entierros Mochica Tardío de San José de Moro
El presente artículo trata sobre una muestra de entierros humanos del sitio arqueológico precolombino de San José de Moro. Este se encuentra en el desierto costero del norte del país y la muestra data de la última mitad del período mochica (450 AD-750 AD). Muchos de estos entierros muestran varios grados de desarticulación. El análisis estratigráfico ha demostrado que esta disturbación no pudo ser producto de fuerzas post-deposicionales. Más aún,…
