Connecting Objects and Literature: A Case Study with Khipus, the “Khipu-Biblio Cross-Reference”
Within disciplines that aim to understand past cultures by studying the objects they made, research methodologies can move between example-based object-specific investigations and whole-of-corpus data-driven analyses. And when the count of extant objects is relatively small, every single individual object has the potential to uniquely contribute to new knowledge or transform existing paradigms. But how does a researcher know how many objects ther…
Reclassification for Dually Identified Students: Navigating Resource Constraints and Exercising Agency to Improve Opportunity to Learn
Background/Context: Demonstrating English proficiency and being reclassified from English Learner (EL) services is a pivotal time point in the educational trajectories of students classified as ELs. Dually identified students, who are classified as ELs and identified as having a disability, may have challenges meeting state reclassification criteria if their disabilities affect their performance on English language proficiency (ELP) assessments o…
Accessory tympanic plate ossicle: A new osteological entity
The auricular cartilage, which is typically soft and flexible, can calcify or ossify because of diseases such as diabetes mellitus, trauma, radiation therapy for cancer, and more commonly from frostbite. Calcified, ossified, or hardened auricular cartilage is a rare finding in the clinical literature and appears to be absent in the physical and forensic anthropological literature. This study examines the ossified auricular cartilage and tests whe…

Colour Words (Hand-Made Visualisations of Literature): A Maker’s Reflection
In her making practice, Colour Words, Thompson represents the words used to describe colour in novels as embroidered squares on paper. In doing so, she creates alternate visualisations of literature, which has led to more questions, discoveries of patterns, and a new way of thinking about and relating to narratives and text/s. In this article, Thompson describes her making practice/process as an example of small data methodology and reflects on t…
The Rohingya refugee crisis in Bangladesh: An Analysis of the Involvement of Local Humanitarian Actors
Since August 2017, more than 700,000 Rohingya have sought refuge in Bangladesh from neighbouring Myanmar, resulting in an unprecedented humanitarian crisis. A significant endeavour is taking place involving various humanitarian actors for the provision and overall management of the humanitarian activities in Rohingya refugee camps. The article studies the configuration and evolution of the humanitarian operations with the aim of identifying the e…
Clothing the New Poor Law workhouse in the nineteenth century
The workhouse remains a totemic institution for social historians, yet we still know very little about the day-to-day experiences of the indoor poor. Nowhere is this clearer than in discussions about workhouse clothing, which remain overwhelmingly negative in the literature and consistent with the predominant view of the workhouse as a place of suffering and humiliation. Yet more often than not, this view is based on relatively shallow empirical …
Education and bilingualism
Given the multilingual contexts in which the majority of the world’s population lives, educational systems have in some cases implemented instructional programs using multiple languages, sometimes in response to pressure by activists, sometimes as a means for spreading the national language among language minority groups, and sometimes as part of effort to promote economic competitiveness. After briefly reviewing the links between bilingual educa…

Post-colonial Politics and Resurgent Heritage: The Development of Kyrgyzstan's Heritage Tourism Product
In 1991 the Kyrgyz Republic secured its political autonomy from the USSR and set out on the road to cultural and economic independence. Tourism was high on the development agenda, not least because of the country's abundance of natural assets, its experience with health and recreational tourism during the Soviet period and its lack of viable alternatives. During the post-colonial period, tourist activity has been based mainly on the country's mou…
Population-Based Research: The Foundation for Development, Management, and Evaluation of a Community Nursing Center

Community nursing centers provide a focus to examine the use of population level data in the development of programs for community health practice and research. While health-related data may be analyzed at the level of individuals, families, populations…
