The ‘civic-transformative’ value of urban street trees
Urban street trees (USTs) have a range of values – some of which are easier to quantify than others. Focusing specifically on the UK context and using the Sheffield Tree Protests (2012–) as a case study, whilst confirming existing research as to the variety of values associated with their specifically ‘cultural’ services, the article argues that USTs have an additional potential form – what I call ‘civic-transformative value’. This form of value …
Revolutionary Subjectivity in Post-Marxist Thought: Laclau, Negri, Badiou
Since the onset of the Global Financial Crisis the ideas of Karl Marx have once again become prominent in social and political thought. This book turns to Marx’s theory of revolutionary subjectivity as a means of assessing the work of three contemporary global theorists: Ernesto Laclau, Antonio Negri, and Alain Badiou, considered here together for the first time
Occupy: Struggles for the common' or an 'anti-politics of dignity'? Reflections on Hardt and Negri and John Holloway
This article provides a critical examination of Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri's and John Holloway's theory of revolutionary subjectivity, and does so by applying their theories to the Occupy movement of 2011. Its central argument is that one should avoid collapsing 'autonomist' and 'open' Marxism, for whilst both approaches share Tronti's insistence on the constituent role of class struggle, and also share an emphasis on a prefigurative politic…

P1-171 A scalable approach to improving death notification in the eastern mediterranean region: Lessons from Abu dhabi
Background Although accurate death notification is critical, data quality is inconsistent in many health systems. There are additional difficulties in countries in the Eastern Mediterranean Region with burial typically within 24 h of death (limiting post-mortem examination). The law in United Arab Emirates (UAE) mandates vital event notification. In 2007, the Health Authority—Abu Dhabi (HAAD) revised death notification in the Emirate. We report t…
Safety in the Heat: A Comprehensive Program for Prevention of Heat Illness Among Workers in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates
The Safety in the Heat program was developed in response to the extreme heat stress conditions experienced by workers in the United Arab Emirates and other Middle Eastern countries each summer, where ambient air temperatures often reach 45°C (135°F) and higher with 90% humidity. A comprehensive, multimedia, economical education and awareness program targeting companies in the region was developed; 465 companies employing 814 996 heat-exposed work…
