The quest for lithium production in the United States: The crucial role of communities
How Do Those Who Have Served Deserve to Be Treated? Military Veterans in the U.K. Social Security System
Military service has often been a basis for civilian welfare entitlements. If mass wartime service justified collective provision, it is now suggested professional militaries have been co-opted to support reformed welfare models in which entitlement is increasingly conditional on individuals’ commitment, discipline, and responsibility. “Forces Covenants” which explicitly connect the dedication and contribution of service to state assistance, symb…
Hope in the ashes: A military chaplain’s reflection on remembrance, sacrifice, and resurrection
This reflective piece explores the vocation of military chaplaincy through a personal encounter at Reichswald Forest Cemetery in Germany during Remembrance Sunday. Called at short notice to lead the service, the author recounts a profound moment of connection with the grave of Rev. James William Kenny, a fellow chaplain who died ministering amidst the chaos of war. The experience becomes a lens through which themes of sacrifice, remembrance, and …
Tracking the Success of Contextual Offer Students at One Scottish Higher Education Institution
Knowing the academic outcomes of students who received contextual offers to higher education is important in understanding whether or not Scotland's Widening Access efforts have been successful in delivering impact to those from socio‐economically deprived backgrounds. This study showed that once controlling for academic cohort, sex, ethnicity and faculty, contextual offer students have a greater than 80% chance of progression at the end of first…
Addressing the legacy of past mining in the Garden River First Nation Community: Perspectives and pathways to improve community engagement
Resource extraction severs community from the land, and their culture and the physical effects of mining are intrinsically tied to both social and spiritual wellbeing. • Government and industry need to make a concentrated effort to better understand indigenous worldviews, perspectives, and philosophies with an open-minded approach to facilitate effective collaboration and respect for both knowledge systems. • The drive for engaging indigenous com…
Building relationships of trust? The experiences of military veterans claiming ‘interface first’ Universal Credit
Trust is a central consideration when understanding the administration of social security benefits and interactions between the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) and claimants, which is increasingly digitalised. While this can have administrative advantages for the DWP and some claimants, less is known about how this digital shift impacts on the relationship between the DWP and claimants within the context of the DWP’s commitments to restore…
Claiming deservingness: The durability of social security claimant discourses during the Covid-19 pandemic
The Covid-19 pandemic created extraordinary conditions for social protection systems globally, with both material and discursive implications. In the UK, these unprecedented circumstances led to an influx of (first-time) social security claims, expectations of increased social solidarity and more positive public discussion around benefits. One might expect this to affect attitudes towards claiming. This article focuses on the accounts of claimant…
Validation of the Neuroception of Psychological Safety Scale (NPSS) Among Health and Social Care Workers in the UK
Psychological safety is essential for rest, recovery, and fostering social connections, particularly for health and social care workers (HSCWs) who frequently operate in high-pressure environments. These workers are prone to traumatic stress, which can elevate their sense of threat and undermine their psychological safety. This study aimed to validate the Neuroception of Psychological Safety Scale (NPSS) among HSCWs in the UK ( n = 443). The NPSS…
An anticipatory regime of multiplanetary life: On SpaceX, Martian colonisation and terrestrial ruin
In recent years, the aerospace engineering corporation SpaceX has been a vocal – and perhaps the foremost – contributor to the recent repopularisation of a discourse proposing the colonisation of Mars. This discourse has been intensively generative: SpaceX's press releases regularly command prominent headlines in the news; the social media posts of Elon Musk, SpaceX's CEO, invariably attract thousands of replies; and a lively meme culture further…
Barriers and enablers to influenza vaccination uptake in adults with chronic respiratory conditions: Applying the behaviour change wheel to specify multi-levelled tailored intervention content
OBJECTIVE: To specify intervention content to enhance influenza vaccination uptake among adults with chronic respiratory conditions using the Behaviour Change Wheel (BCW). DESIGN: Cross-sectional, multi-modal data collection and theory-informed analysis and expert stakeholder engagement. METHODS: Content analysis was used to identify barriers and enablers to influenza vaccination from nine focus groups (n = 38), individual interviews (n = 21) and…
Quoting Before Canon: The Various Forms of Authority Attributed to the Epistle to the Hebrews in the Second and Third Century
The scriptural citations of early Christian theologians have often been enlisted in scholarly reconstructions concerning the development of the canon. The underlying assumption in many such reconstructions appears to have been that the frequent quotation of a writing indicates a corresponding level of authority for that writing. More recent scholarship has challenged this assumption by drawing attention to the specific rhetorical contexts in whic…
Improving older adults' vaccination uptake: Are existing measures of vaccine hesitancy valid and reliable for older people
We sought to establish whether two recently developed measures, the 5C scale and the Vaccination Attitudes Examination (VAX) were reliable and valid for use with older adults. A total of 372 UK-dwelling participants (65-92 years, M = 70.5 years, SD = 4.6) completed a cross-sectional survey measuring health and socio-demographic characteristics in relation to vaccine uptake for influenza, pneumococcal and shingles. The 5C and VAX scales were admin…
Changes in Physical Activity, Sitting and Sleep across the Covid-19 National Lockdown Period in Scotland
We examine the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak and concomitant restrictions (i.e., lockdown) on 24-hour movement behaviors (i.e., physical activity, sitting, sleep) in a purposive sample of people ( n = 3230) reporting change recruited online. Participants' self-reported time spent in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), walking, sitting and sleep prior to lockdown (T1), during the first national lockdown (T2) and as restrictions initia…

Economic drivers of wind and solar penetration in the US
Much has been made of the potential for wind and solar generation to supply cheap, low-emissions electricity, but considerable disagreement exists as to which combinations of many potential drivers will enable deep penetration of these technologies. Most existing analyses consider limited factors in isolation, such as investment costs or energy storage, and do not provide rigorous support for understanding which combinations of factors could unde…
Development of a biochemical marker to detect current breast milk intake
The WHO recommends exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months, but despite interventions, breastfeeding rates remain stubbornly low. Financial voucher incentives have shown promise but require a biomarker for validation of intake. This study aimed to develop a simple biochemical assay of infant urine that would tell if an infant was receiving any breast milk to validate maternal report. Urine samples were collected and snap frozen from 34 infants atten…
The concept of spiritual power in East Asian and Canadian Aboriginal thought
A distinction is often made between animism, a belief that everything has a soul or spirit, and animatism, which refers to a belief in a generalized, impersonal power that permeates all of reality. Although the distinction seems to be useful, most traditional societies probably include elements of both. Some concepts, such as mana or kami, can be either animistic or animatistic, depending on whether one is focused on a specific object such as a s…
I Do It With Love”: Engagement in Caring for People With Dementia
For caregivers, the impacts of caring for their loved ones with dementia at home are complex. The purpose of this study was to gain understanding of the meaning and experience of engagement for caregivers of individuals with dementia living in the community. Participants are from a culturally diverse population of low-income caregivers and care recipients in the northeastern United States. We conducted in-depth semi-structured interviews with car…
Ikawai freshwater fishes in Māori culture and economy (2011) by R.M. McDowall
This beautifully produced work will be a crucial reference for many generations of not only fisheries scientists but also for so many of us amateurs who work with awe and respect in the realm of freshwater. It is thanks largely to the work of Bob McDowall and his scientific associates that New Zealanders now (should) know that their beloved delicacy, whitebait is fry derived from five species of galaxiidas. The primary purpose of this book is mor…
Pentecostals in Italy – Sicily and Calabria
There have been Albanians in Italy since 1448 and they have retained a sense of their own identity over the years. Many are Byzantine Catholics but, after the start of the Pentecostal outpouring in the 20th century, a number of them, now Italio-Albanians, moved to Pentecostalism. Most live in Calabria and Sicily

Insight, psychosis, and depression in Africa: A cross-sectional survey from an inpatient unit in Ghana
Few studies of the relationship of insight to psychopathology have been conducted in non-Western populations. This study examined the relationships between insight and depression, anxiety, and positive and negative symptoms on patients with schizophrenia resident in a psychiatric hospital in Ghana. A sample of 49 participants, (37 men and 12 women), with DSM-IV defined schizophrenia took part in semistructured interviews consisting of the Hamilto…

Changing the Tobacco Use Management System: Blending Systems Thinking with Actor–Network Theory
Managing “wicked” issues like the tobacco epidemic is addressed using a combination of Open Systems Thinking (OST) and Actor–Network Theory (ANT). OST was used to construct a model of the tobacco problem as a management system acting in a broader environment. This highlighted several problems with the current system but provided no mechanism for reform. ANT, the “sociology of translation,” was used for understanding how change occurs. Unlike syst…
Kakapo: Rescued from the Brink of Extinction. By Alison Ballance. Nelson, NZ: Craig Potton Publishing 2010
New Zealand writer, David Young, Reviews Kakapo: Rescued from the Brink of Extinction. 200 pp. Cloth $49.95Alison Ballance's work deals with the kakapo, once widely distributed across the archipelago, and which has become the poster-child of bird recovery programs in New Zealand. Since parrots are relatively new-comers to evolution, it had to have flown here in the past 12-25 million years, long after New Zealand separated from Australia. At the …
Montesquieu's View of Despotism and His Use of Travel Literature
Montesquieu'sL' Esprit des lois, first published in 1748, was an innovative and often paradoxical work. Almost as soon as a reader opened it, he was likely to be struck by a singular typology of governments: despotism, monarchy, and republic (subdivided into democracy and aristocracy). This represented a marked departure from the traditional division of monarchy, aristocracy, and democracy which Aristotle and Polybius had bequeathed to later stud…

An Actor-Network Theory Analysis of Policy Innovation for Smoke-Free Places: Understanding Change in Complex Systems
Complex, transnational issues like the tobacco epidemic are major challenges that defy analysis and management by conventional methods, as are other public health issues, such as those associated with global food distribution and climate change. We examined the evolution of indoor smoke-free regulations, a tobacco control policy innovation, and identified the key attributes of those jurisdictions that successfully pursued this innovation and thos…

Critical Realism as a Basis for Economic Methodology: A critique
This paper considers the claim that critical realism provides a convincing critique of mainstream economics and offers a sound methodological basis for an alternative approach. It argues that critical realism presents a tendentious definition of positivism and a characterisation of mainstream economics that is misleading, and that it misrepresents the nature and purpose of the work of Hume and modern Humean philosophers. It also argues that criti…

On the Coherence of Post‐Keynesian Economics
Recently the claim that post‐Keynesianism represents a coherent alternative to orthodox/neoclassical theory has regained favour with many leading post‐Keynesians. The purpose of this paper is to consider the basis for any such claim that post‐Keynesianism is a coherent alternative. A variety of forms of coherence are considered in relation to post‐Keynesian analyses and a number of shortcomings are identified. The broad conclusion is that post‐Ke…

The dilemma posed by minority medical traditions in pluralistic societies: The case of China and Canada
Pluralistic societies such as China and Canada frequently find themselves pursuing potentially contradictory goals. China's contradiction results from a desire to preserve cultural diversity while eliminating 'backward tendencies' which work against the economic and social development of the country as a whole. Canada's contradiction results from a desire to preserve cultural diversity while maintaining an emphasis upon equality of rights and res…

The Tobacco Use Management System: Analyzing Tobacco Control From a Systems Perspective
We use systems thinking to develop a strategic framework for analyzing the tobacco problem and we suggest solutions. Humans are vulnerable to nicotine addiction, and the most marketable form of nicotine delivery is the most harmful. A tobacco use management system has evolved out of governments’ attempts to regulate tobacco marketing and use and to support services that provide information about tobacco's harms and discourage its use. Our analysi…

Mens Sana in Corpore Sano ? Body and Mind in Ancient Greece
The popular noations that the ancient Greek athlete was more 'well rounded' than ours is wholly false, nor was there every any Greek ideal to achieve or pursue both intellectual and bodily excellence. Earlier Greeks judged excellence in either category invaluable, but an increasiingly vocal minority of intellectuals, apparently jealous of the athletes' great rewards, denigrated athletes and bodily achievement. Mind, they said, was superior to bod…
The promotional state and Canada's Juno Awards
The scholarly literature on popular music has rarely addressed music awards shows and the role of the state with regard to popular music. In an effort to deepen what is known about both sets of issues, this article utilises the concept of a promotional state to examine Canada's Juno Awards. A promotional state employs state intervention to support domestic popular music, and the promotional state in Canada has been connected to the Junos in three…
Discourses on Communication Technologies in Canadian and European Broadcasting Policy Debates
There have been growing similarities between broadcasting issues in Canada and Europe. Some issues, including the emergence of private broadcasting and concerns about American broadcasting, became prominent in Europe decades after they were evident in Canada. In both contexts, historical and contemporary debates about broadcasting issues have been tied to three discourses on communication technologies. This article contends that broadcasting poli…

Revising the Burra Charter: Australia Icomos updates its guidelines for conservation practice
This paper outlines the revisions made in 1999 to the Burra Charter, the core doctrine for heritage conservation in Australia that was first adopted by Australia ICOMOS in 1979. It examines the reasons why changes were needed, including broadened perceptions of heritage, new understandings of heritage significance, and recognition of the need for community input into conservation decisions about its heritage.The review process, which took five ye…
Firms' Market Power, Endogenous Preferences and the Focus of Competition Policy
Conventional neoclassical views of dominance are generally restricted to a concern for a firm's market power seen in terms of the ability to raise and maintain prices above their marginal costs of production. A prime example of this approach is the application of dominant firm price leadership models, which has led to a restricted theoretical perception of the nature of market power and to an incomplete view of the social costs of monopoly power.…

Céline Dion, national unity and the English-language press in Canada
The national unity crisis in Canada deepened during the 1990s; it became increasingly likely that the French-speaking province of Quebec might separate from the rest of the country. This article examines how press coverage of Céline Dion, the popular francophone singer from Quebec, has intersected with the national unity debate. After providing some background on the debate and Dion, the article explores the linkages between them in Canada's Engl…
Tibetan protection from intrauterine growth restriction (Iugr) and reproductive loss at high altitude
Chronic hypoxia at high altitude restricts fetal growth, reducing birth weight and increasing infant mortality. We asked whether Tibetans, a long‐resident high‐altitude population, exhibit less altitude‐associated intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and prenatal or postnatal reproductive loss than Han (ethnic Chinese), a group that has lived there for a shorter period of time. A population sample was obtained, comprising 485 deliveries to Tibe…
