An economic analysis of the impacts of local authority takeaway management zones around schools in England
Higher numbers of hot food takeaways in local neighbourhood food environments can be associated with increased exposure to, and consumption of, food that is high in fat and salt, and low in health promoting nutrients. Takeaway management zones enable local authorities in England to limit the number of new hot food takeaways opening. The impacts of takeaway management zones on local economies are currently unknown and yet commercial and other acto…
Poetry of coordinated motion
What is perceived as beautiful movement in dance? We investigated quantitative relations between the subjective experience of observing dance and objective physical variables. By integrating datasets from perceptual psychophysics and movement biomechanics, we explored how the control, coordination and energetics of dance movements, which represent dance skill, related to perceptual judgements of a naïve audience. Multidimensional perceptual ratin…
Using the planning system to promote a healthier food environment
Local authorities are using their planning powers to manage hot food takeaways. The use of these powers is mediated by the Planning Inspectorate. A case-study approach was adopted to understand outcomes of takeaways policy and decision after the statutory policy examination and appeal stages. Eight case studies in England were selected and a documentary analysis was undertaken to determine how public health issues were considered by inspectors. T…
Changes in the number and outcome of takeaway food outlet planning applications in response to adoption of management zones around schools in England
Physical exposure to takeaway food outlets ("takeaways") is associated with poor diet and excess weight, which are leading causes of excess morbidity and mortality. At the end of 2017, 35 local authorities (LAs) in England had adopted takeaway management zones (or "exclusion zones"), which is an urban planning intervention designed to reduce physical exposure to takeaways around schools. In this nationwide, natural experimental study, we used int…
For graduate students to become leaders in sustainability, we must transcend disciplinary boundaries
In the face of the climate crisis, is the academy preparing graduate students to engage in the interdisciplinary work needed to create a sustainable future? In 2021, the Brook Byers Institute for Sustainable Systems (BBISS) at the Georgia Institute of Technology convened a group of 7 doctoral students from 7 different disciplines: history, economics, chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, biology, city planning, and architecture. The inten…
Doctrinal Instability in Contextual Race-Conscious Review
The judicial tools of standards of review are designed to recognize historical inequities by applying heightened burdens of proof for discrimination and the abridgment of constitutional rights. In this Article, I argue that, in the past twenty-seven years since Adarand Constructors v. Peña, the Supreme Court’s contextual application of strict scrutiny for race and national origin discrimination has evolved to a point of instability, rendering its…

Health impact assessment in spatial planning in England –types of application and quality of documentation
Beyond Climate Impacts
The Fourth National Climate Assessment (NCA4) provided the most up-to-date understanding of climate change and its effects on the Earth system and on consequences for the United States, including impacts and associated risks, along with approaches to coping with these effects. It is intended to provide guidance to decision-makers in governmental sectors while, in practice, providing guidance for nongovernmental actors. Its regional and topical ch…

Holistic impact assessment and cost savings of rainwater harvesting at the watershed scale
We evaluated the impacts of domestic and agricultural rainwater harvesting (RWH) systems in three watersheds within the Albemarle-Pamlico river basin (southeastern U.S.) using life cycle assessment (LCA) and life cycle cost assessment. Life cycle impact assessment (LCIA) categories included energy demand, fossil fuel, metals, ozone depletion, global warming, acidification, smog, blue and green water use, ecotoxicity, eutrophication, and human hea…

Bioregional planning in central Georgia, USA
Student Leadership in Public Health Advocacy
Increasing hepatitis B vaccination rates for Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders is a priority. Laws requiring vaccination prior to school enrollment have helped, yet many youths remain unvaccinated. The Hepatitis B Initiative (HBI), launched in 1997 and operated by public health and medical school students, provides free screenings and vaccinations to Boston’s Asian American/Pacific Islander community, with a focus on youths. By October 2002, …
