Years of River Management of the Dove Valley, along the Border of Derbyshire and Staffordshire
In 2020 an opportunity to investigate a substantial water management feature was presented during work to improve biodiversity and fish passage along the catchment of the River Dove. The project was designed and funded by the Environment Agency, with archaeological monitoring by CFA Archaeology Ltd and York Archaeology. Such projects remove ‘obstructions’, usually represented by much-adapted weir and channel structures, which are often encased in…
Not All Roads Lead to Kashmir: British Road Construction in the High Himalayas and the Railroad That Never Was
The British Empire intervened on the princely state of Jammu & Kashmir in 1885, imposing a Resident on the state's ruler for the first time. While one of their primary intentions was to build a railroad connection between the state and British India, the project failed. This episode has largely been set within the context of Britain's strategic rivalry with Russia over Central Asia, the so-called Great Game. However, focusing on the example of th…
Psilocybin’s Potential Mechanisms in the Treatment of Depression: A Systematic Review
Effect of reducing the posted speed limit to 30 km per hour on pedestrian motor vehicle collisions in Toronto, Canada - a quasi experimental, pre-post study
Declines in the rate of PMVC were observed on roads with posted speed limit reductions from 40 km/h to 30 km/h, although this effect was not statistically greater than reductions on comparator streets
The built environment and active transportation safety in children and youth: A study protocol
This program of research will identify the built environment associated with active transportation safety and form an evidence base from which municipalities can draw information to support change. Our team's national scope will be invaluable in providing information regarding the variability in built environment characteristics and is vital to producing evidence-based recommendations that will increase safe active transportation
A visual ethnographic pilot study of school travel for families living with childhood disability
Children’s school transport has become a major research focus over the past 20 years, particularly within the fields of planning, transport geography, and children’s geographies. However, this work has rarely considered children living with disability. This article presents the pilot component of a visual ethnographic study about school transport within families living with childhood disability. It explains why we piloted the study, details the p…
A geography of child and elderly pedestrian injury in the City of Toronto, Canada
Trends in unintentional injury mortality in Canadian children 1950–2009 and association with selected population-level interventions
Installation of speed humps and pedestrian-motor vehicle collisions in Toronto, Canada: A quasi-experimental study
Speed humps are an easily replicated method of traffic calming which have a significant protective effect on PMVC on the roadways where they are installed, particularly for children. There is a need for an area-wide analysis to determine the effects of the installation of speed humps to ensure that PMVC are not being displaced to surrounding roadways
Do school crossing guards make crossing roads safer? A quasi-experimental study of pedestrian-motor vehicle collisions in Toronto, Canada
School crossing guards are a simple roadway modification to increase walking to school without apparent detrimental safety effects. Other more permanent interventions are necessary to address the frequency of child PMVCs occurring away from the location of crossing guards, and outside of school travel times
Corruption in the health care sector: A barrier to access of orthopaedic care and medical devices in Uganda
BACKGROUND: Globally, injuries cause approximately as many deaths per year as HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria combined, and 90% of injury deaths occur in low- and middle- income countries. Given not all injuries kill, the disability burden, particularly from orthopaedic injuries, is much higher but is poorly measured at present. The orthopaedic services and orthopaedic medical devices needed to manage the injury burden are frequently unavailab…
An argument for explicit rationing of health resources within the public-private mix in Brazil
provided an excellent starting point for dis-cussing means of distributing healthcare resources more reasonablywithin Brazil. Recently, an overview of the Brazilian healthcare system concluded that the most sizeable barrier to securing the right of healthcare for every Brazilian is, in fact, political
Safety standards and socioeconomic disparities in school playground injuries: A retrospective cohort study
Improvements in playground equipment can result in an environment in which students from schools in poorer neighbourhoods are no longer at increased risk of injuries on play equipment

Global Capital and Labor Internationalism in Comparative Historical Perspective: A Marxist Analysis
Labor internationalism has historically developed in response to the increasing globalization of capital, but economic factors in themselves do not provide a sufficient explanation for the relative success of international solidarity in specific geographical and historical contexts. In the past, movements of international solidarity have tended to coalesce where inclusive class-based mobilizations in individual countries have polarized local clas…
Alcohol and the Benzodiazepines; The Interaction between Intravenous Ethanol and Chlordiazepoxide and Diazepam
Large doses of chlordiazepoxide proved antagonistic to the soporific action of intravenous ethanol in healthy women undergoing minor surgery. Diazepam did not affect tolerance to alcohol
