Ethical considerations for remote sensing and open data in relation to the endangered archaeology in the Middle East and North Africa project
The UK‐based Endangered Archaeology in the Middle East and North Africa (EAMENA) project uses remote sensing techniques to rapidly record and evaluate the status of archaeological and cultural heritage sites in the MENA region. Applying remote sensing methods to the archaeological landscapes of 20 countries, EAMENA is one of the largest documentation projects of its kind. Such a scope raises important ethical questions fundamental to the practice…

Animal Production and Secondary Products in the Fifth Millennium BC in northern Mesopotamia
Current anthropological and archaeological research posits a strong role for livestock in the development of economic specialization and social inequality in the ancient Near East. We examine animal production in the Ubaid through Late Chalcolithic 2 periods (c. 5200-3800 BC) in northern Mesopotamia, presenting new zooarchaeological data from Tell Surezha. Evidence for gradual and piecemeal intensification of livestock production and secondary pr…
Energy access in Malawian healthcare facilities
Many healthcare facilities (HCFs) in low-income countries experience unreliable connectivity to energy sources, which adversely impacts the quality of health service delivery and provision of adequate environmental health services. This assessment explores the status and consequences of energy access through interviews and surveys with administrators and healthcare workers from 44 HCFs (central hospitals, district hospitals, health centres and he…
Evaluating Mobile Survey Tools (MSTs) for Field-Level Monitoring and Data Collection
Information and communications technologies (ICTs) such as mobile survey tools (MSTs) can facilitate field-level data collection to drive improvements in national and international development programs. MSTs allow users to gather and transmit field data in real time, standardize data storage and management, automate routine analyses, and visualize data. Dozens of diverse MST options are available, and users may struggle to select suitable options…

Visions of Mughal India
The Mughal Empire, which conquered and ruled virtually all of today's India, Pakistan and Bangladesh over several centuries, created one of the richest and most colourful of all historical periods. Peoples of different cultures - including Muslims, Christians, Hindus and others, originating from Iran, Central Asia, Europe and South Asia itself worked, traded and travelled throughout the Empire, contributing to its dynamism and power. A few of the…
The Crisis of Civil Service Trade Unionism
This article examines why and how management in a British civil service agency have sought to respond to the Modernising Governmentagenda of the present Labour government, by seeking to apply Taylorist principles of work organization to a complex form of administrative casework. This has led to the establishment of a call centre within the agency for the first time. The article discusses the response to this of the main trade union within the age…
Participation in Community Life by AA and NA Members
Critics point to 12-step fellowships as being a negative influence on active involvement of members in mainstream society. This article summarizes that criticism and contrasts experiences of community-involved members from Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) with those of members of Narcotics Anonymous (NA). We asked these participants to reflect on how their non-fellowship community service had been influenced by their recovery in a 12-step fellowship. Fe…
A Brief History and Progress of Mountain Cartography in Canada
Canada's mountain ranges offer great opportunities in high-mountain cartography, but also great challenges, given limited national mapping resources to deal with such extensive areas. Following post-war initiatives that introduced Swiss mapping styles into Canadian cartography, federal cuts and restructuring diverted resources to the generation and management of digital data. The increasing accessibility to GIS and mapping software and digital el…
