Long start strategy in high-intensity interval training in Rugby Union Academy players
Introduction High-intensity interval training (HIIT) protocols with varied parameters have been investigated to optimise the time spent at high levels of oxygen uptake. However, to date, the physiological and perceptual responses to a long-start approach (i.e., longer initial work phases followed by shorter subsequent phases) have not been investigated. The aim of the study was to compare external load, physiological responses, and rating of perc…
Heterogeneity in Agent-Based Models
Agent-based models are flexible tools that allow modellers to capture heterogeneity in agent attributes, characteristics, and behaviours.In this paper, heterogeneity is defined as agent granularity, referring to the level of detail used to describe agent attributes, behaviours, interaction processes, and decision-making rules.However, the increased complexity associated with greater levels of heterogeneity, and hence more parameters, can make the…

What does it mean to teach American studies in UK higher education? We teach “American” content in our classes, modules, and degree programmes, but do we also conduct our teaching in ways specific to American studies? Lee Shulman describes a “signature pedagogy” as “the forms of instruction that leap to mind when we first think about the preparation of members of particular professions,” encompassing both the types of teaching we conduct in our c…

Associations between psychosocial risk factors, and changes in substance dependence and psychosocial functioning, during engagement with digital cognitive behavioral therapy for methamphetamine use
Estimates of the Ambient Population
This paper will critically assess the utility of conventional and novel data sources for building fine-scale spatio-temporal estimates of the ambient population. It begins with a review of data sources employed in existing studies of the ambient population, followed by preliminary analysis to further explore the utility of each dataset. The identification and critiquing of data sources which may be useful for building estimates of the ambient pop…
Making Black Motherhood (In)Visible
This article examines Black motherhood within digital media and how the cultural mediation of Meghan Markle’s pregnancy and motherhood online can be understood. In considering the cultural meaning(s) attached to the Duchess of Sussex, this article uses visual semiotic and discourse analyses of @SussexRoyal Instagram posts to examine how the incursion of a Black woman into the British royal family reveals some of the anxieties that circulate aroun…
Wakanda liberation is this? Interrogating Black Panther's relationship with colonialism
Ryan Coogler's Black Panther (2018) constitutes an intervention within representations of blackness within American culture. In a landscape in which the vast majority of depictions of black people in film remain severely limited and stereotypical, Coogler's blockbuster stands out as a celebration of blackness and a challenge of anti-black racism. The way in which the film grapples with the legacy of colonialism and represents an opportunity to de…
Serving 'Reality' Television 'Realness
Despite the increasing visibility of queerness and queer folks in American popular culture, there is a concerning dissonance between this symbolic cultural progression, and the reality of queer lives that continue to be marked by discrimination, oppression, and violence. This article considers the ways in which RuPaul’s Drag Race (2009) simultaneously constitutes this increase in queer visibility, and yet also perpetuates specific hierarchies of …
Creative Economy, Critical Perspectives
From the late 1980s the creative economy became paradigmatic in cultural policy, achieving the status of a powerful global discourse across a range of domains (e.g. Duxbury et al. 2016; UNESCO 2013
The art of the good life
The creative economy has seen cultural policy swallowed up by a narrow vision of economic growth, its impacts on the urban fabric captured by property developers, and its promises of meaningful activity challenged by the exploitation and inequities of cultural labour markets. So it needs to be abandoned and re-thought, but on what basis? This paper analyses the potential for cultural work to encourage alternative visions of the “good life”, in pa…
Engaging the Imagination
This paper 1 explores the potential of ‘new nature writing’ – a literary genre currently popular in the UK – as a kind of arts activism, in particular in terms of how it might engage with the environmental crisis and lead to a kind of collective politics. We note the limitations of the genre, notably the reproduction of class, gender and ethnic hierarchies, the emphasis on nostalgia and loss, and the stress on individual responses rather than col…
Applying Behavior Change Theories and Qualitative Methods in Substance Misuse Implementation Research
There is insufficient research examining the implementation of complex novel interventions within health care. This may be due to a lack of qualitative research providing subjective insights into these implementation processes. The authors investigate the advantages of applying behavior change theories to conceptualize qualitative data describing the processes of implementation of complex interventions. Breaking Free Online (BFO), a digital treat…
The use of digital technology in substance misuse recovery
Alongside recent trends in the purchasing of illicit substances online, there has been a growth in the availability of online resources dedicated to treatment and recovery from substance misuse, including online interventions, mutual-aid groups and forums. Currently however, there is a lack of research on the utilisation of these online resources. Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine the use of these online resources by employing onlin…

Processes of implementation of computer assisted therapy for substance misuse ('Breaking Free Health and Justice') within prison settings
Rates of substance misuse and comorbid mental health difficulties ('dual diagnosis') are high within the prison population, so provision of rehabilitation services within prison settings has become a key concern for government, especially given the established links between substance misuse and criminal recidivism. Therefore, a novel computer assisted therapy (CAT) programme specifically developed for a prison population, Breaking Free Health and…
Theatre of the Oppressed and Environmental Justice Communities
Community Environmental Forum Theatre at UTMB-NIEHS Center in Environmental Toxicology uses Augusto Boal's Theatre of the Oppressed (TO) to promote involvement of citizens, scientists, and health professionals in deconstructing toxic exposures, risk factors, and cumulative stressors that impact the well-being of communities. The TO process encourages collective empowerment of communities by disseminating information and elaborating support networ…
The Use of the Illinois Test of Psycho‐linguistic Abilities on British Four‐year‐old Children
S ummary . The Illinois Test of Psycholinguistic Abilities (ITPA) was administered to 100 4‐year‐old nursery school children. Although the sample is biased by the inclusion of a disproportionate number of middle‐class children, the scores corresponded closely to those of the American standardisation sample of the same age. Discriminant function analysis indicated a strong relationship between ITPA performance and social class, particularly in the…
The Factor Structure of the Frostig Developmental Test of Visual Perception
S ummary . In order to obtain evidence as to the factor structure of Frostig's Developmental Test of Visual Perception, a factor analysis was made of the intercorrelations of subtest scores from the standardisation sample. Four separate principal component analyses were carried out, one for each of the grade levels concerned. It was found that in three out of four cases a single general factor, identified as perceptual maturity, was the only fact…
