From limitation to innovation: Reimagining and rethinking academic dance
During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, while many professional production organizations were forced to temporarily, or in some cases permanently, close, most academic institutions in higher education remained open in varying modalities in order to continue providing educational opportunities for their students. The following article details the process by which theatre and dance faculty members at Central Michigan University experimented wit…
British Car Factories since 1896: An Industrial Archaeology Site Type Survey Case Study
This chapter deals with the technology and buildings of the car industry as a case study of the problems and rewards of researching a twentieth-century industry. It reviews the research sources and field techniques used to build a database of car factories in Britain. It then goes on to assess the levels of physical survival and the role of conservation using the city of Coventry, the focus of British car-making in the twentieth century, as a cas…

Longitudinal changes in behavioral approach system sensitivity and brain structures involved in reward processing during adolescence
Figure 2 was distorted in production. The correct version is presented in the erratum.] Adolescence is a period of radical normative changes and increased risk for substance use, mood disorders, and physical injury. Researchers have proposed that increases in reward sensitivity (i.e., sensitivity of the behavioral approach system [BAS]) and/or increases in reactivity to all emotional stimuli (i.e., reward and threat sensitivities) lead to these p…
An assessment of archaeological sites in June 2008: An Iraqi-British project
The proposal to develop an Iraqi-British project to protect and promote cultural heritage in Southern Iraq was first mooted at a lunch in the British Museum on 24 September 2007, involving Major-General Barney White-Spunner, Charles Moore, former editor of the Daily Telegraph, Neil MacGregor, Director of the British Museum, and John Curtis, Keeper of the Department of the Middle East at the British Museum. The lunch had been arranged to provide M…
Trees and gender in Assyrian art
The question of identifying cultural symbolism of any period is tortuous without textual or verbal evidence. It is particularly difficult when dealing with an ancient society removed by thousands of years and vast distance in space. Such is the case when interpreting the art of Mesopotamia. Occasionally, textual references help to illuminate possible meanings of imagery. More often than not we are left with nothing but our own culturally conditio…
Perils of religion: Need for spirituality in the public sphere
On both sides of the Atlantic, there is increased professional concern over roles in international public sector management—whether those of the policy makers, administrators or consultants. Growing numbers across many sectors feel an unprecedented crisis of identity and integrity. In international development, institutions often find themselves subordinated to the military in ever increasing conflict situations (the ‘development‐security complex…
A Strategy for Industrial Archaeology in the Black Country
Remains from Britain's industrial past are being lost daily. Much has gone already, often with its importance unrecognised. This applies no more so than in the Black Country where a joint local authority/university initiative set about addressing the problem by identifying, through Local Area Surveys, significant remains from the industrial period. Arising from this, Dudley MBC's 'Strategy for Industrial Archaeology' now allows important sites to…

Dopamine and the structure of personality: Relation of agonist-induced dopamine activity to positive emotionality
Modern trait theories of personality include a dimension reflecting positive emotionality (PE) based on sensitivity to signals of incentive-reward. In animals, responsivity within an emotional system analog of PE is dependent on brain dopamine (DA) activity. To determine whether human PE trait levels are also associated with central DA, effects of a specific DA D2 receptor agonist were assessed in Ss who were widely distributed along the trait di…
The Impact of Knowledge on the Survival of American Manufacturing Plants
Recently, a new economic theory of growth (Romer 1986, 1990) that emphasizes the importance of knowledge has been proposed. We extend this argument to manufacturing plants by developing and testing a theory of how investments in knowledge, as expressed in human capital and production technology, affect plant survival. Based on an event-history analyses of 97 manufacturing plants during the period from 1973 to 1987, we show that internal investmen…
Ministry at the Ends of the Earth: Priests and People in New South Wales, 1830-1840
Catholics arrived at Botany Bay with the first fleet in January 1788. But it was not until 1820 that institutional Catholicism arrived in the persons of two Irish priests—Fathers Philip Conolly and John Joseph Therry. They had been appointed after considerable negotiation between the British government, the London Vicar Apostolic, Bishop William Poynter, the Vicar Apostolic of Mauritius, Bishop Edward Bede Slater (in whose vast territory Australi…
Strategic planning for state enterprise performance in Africa: Public versus private options
This article presents methodologies to assist government officials in various African countries who have to deal with ill‐defined policy problems arising out of perceived performance shortcomings on the part of state enterprises. It reviews the historical role and record of state enterprise in African economies, the assumptions and major arguments of the ‘privatization option’ and the major forms in which the latter may be carried out. In a situa…

The management and administration of parastatal organizations for the promotion of indigenous enterprise: A West African Experience
Among the various functional types of public corporation and statutory authority, those concerned with the regulation and provision of economic opportunities and social amenities constitute one of the most interesting developments in West Africa's parastatal sector today. Taking as a case study the recent initiatives of the Ghana Government ta promote indigenous enterprise (which have had an important demonstration effect on neighbouring Nigeria)…

In the belief that intensive study of selected local areas is an important development in scholarship on Africa, the author presents a micropolitical study of an important region of one of East Africa's Rew nations. Sukumaland, an area of Tanzania which contains one tenth of the country's population and its largest tribe, was chosen for the study. Before independence it exhibited the most organized nationalist political activity of any part of th…
