Youngest Toba Tuff deposits in the Gundlakamma River basin, Andhra Pradesh, India and their role in evaluating Late Pleistocene behavioral change in South Asia
The eruption of Toba ca. 75 ka was the largest volcanic eruptive event during the Quaternary, and evidence for this eruption is widespread in terrestrial sediment sequences in South Asia as primary and reworked distal ash deposits. Youngest Toba Tuff horizons (YTT) have been widely employed as isochrons to understand and link regional sediment sequences and the evidence for environmental and cultural change in the archaeological records preserved…
LetsTalkShots
Introduction Vaccine hesitancy is a global health threat undermining control of many vaccine-preventable diseases. Patient-level education has largely been ineffective in reducing vaccine concerns and increasing vaccine uptake. We built and evaluated a personalized vaccine risk communication website called LetsTalkShots in English, Spanish and French (Canadian) for vaccines across the lifespan. LetsTalkShots tailors lived experiences, credible so…

Forum
This forum examines whether scholars’ access to networks in the international studies profession is gendered and if so, the consequences of those networks for personal and professional success. Academic networks that encompass both professional and personal connections have been proposed as one solution to chilly climate issues because they provide a dual function of enhancing scholarly productivity and inclusion in the profession. The articles i…
Building safe surgery knowledge and capacity in Cambodia
BACKGROUND: Working in partnership with the Cambodian Ministry of Health, the Safe Surgery 2020 initiative (SS2020) supports the prioritization of surgery and mobilization of resources to target limited workforce capacity. An evaluation study was conducted to assess the impact of SS2020 on intervention hospitals in Cambodia. OBJECTIVE: To understand the impact of the SS2020 program on intervention hospitals in Cambodia by assessing the changes in…
Promoting Peace as the Antidote to Violent Extremism
Equal Access International (EAI)'s countering violent extremism (CVE)–themed programming involves training local civil society members in Mindanao to design and implement locally based CVE campaigns. This report contains an evaluation of and recommendations from a set of EAI tech camps and fellowships in the Philippines. The authors of this report include research from a study of EAI CVE radio programming on Mindanao.
Apache Adaptation to Hispanic Rule
Despite their having fought the longest North American war of resistance against Euro-American imperialism, from the 1600s until September 1886, Apaches—along with their history, particularly in the Spanish colonial era—have remained underappreciated by historians. Matthew Babcock’s Apache Adaptation to Hispanic Rule helps close this gap, but it is best appreciated when paired with Mark Santiago’s Jar of Severed Hands (2011). Both books examine S…
Ground-level climate at a peatland wind farm in Scotland is affected by wind turbine operation
The global drive to produce low-carbon energy has resulted in an unprecedented deployment of onshore wind turbines, representing a significant land use change for wind energy generation with uncertain consequences for local climatic conditions and the regulation of ecosystem processes. Here, we present high-resolution data from a wind farm collected during operational and idle periods that shows the wind farm affected several measures of ground-l…
The Elizabethan succession question in Roger Edwardes's 'Castra Regia' (1569) and 'Cista Pacis Anglie' (1576)
Roger Edwardes's ‘Castra Regia’ challenges the perception that Elizabethans were diametrically opposed to the queen's refusal to establish the succession in the fifteen-sixties and provides an insight into the undervalued dimension of support for Elizabeth's royal prerogative in matters of succession. Charting the changing nature of Edwardes's views on the succession into the fifteen-seventies with his second succession tract, ‘Cista Pacis Anglie…

Biotite composition as a tool for the identification of Quaternary tephra beds
Stratigraphically important Quaternary rhyolitic tephra deposits that erupted from the Okataina and Taupo volcanic centers in New Zealand can be geochemically identified using the FeO and MgO contents of their biotite phenocrysts. The FeO/MgO ratio in biotite does not correlate with FeO/MgO in the coexisting glass phase so that tephra beds with similar glass compositions can be discriminated by their different biotite compositions. Some individua…
