Competing Loyalties in Eastern Cuba
At the start of the seventeenth century the eastern Cuban town of Bayamo became a regional entrepôt. Merchants from France, England, Genoa, and the fledgling Dutch Republic arrived at the shores of the port of Manzanillo to trade linens, silks, and enslaved Africans for hides from the Cuban interior. The governor of Cuba, Pedro de Valdés, sought to stop this unlicensed trade and sent his lieutenant governor to Bayamo to investigate. His investiga…
Predicting Covid-19 booster intentions among college students using the health belief model
Background COVID-19 remains a significant public health threat. The primary purpose of this study was to test the health belief model (HBM) constructs in predicting COVID-19 booster intentions of college students. Methods A total of 285 students enrolled at large public university in the Southeastern U.S., who were 18 years and older, completed an online survey to assess COVID-19 vaccination status, prior or current COVID-19 infection, demographi…
Challenges and instructor strategies for transitioning to online learning during and after the Covid-19 pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic triggered an unprecedented shift to online learning, significantly impacting the higher education landscape. This paper examines the challenges faced by faculty and students during the rapid transition to online instruction and explores best practices for delivering effective online courses. The increased adoption of online learning created stress for faculty and resulted in academic setbacks for students. Although challenge…
The Akchagylian stage (late Pliocene-early Pleistocene) in the North Caspian region
Detailed reconstructions of Holocene climate and environmental changes in the Taman Peninsula (Kuban River delta region) and their correlation with rapid sea-level fluctuations of the Black Sea
Lithofacies and ichnofacies distribution in offshore sediments of the Langarud–Rudsar region of Iran, southern Caspian Sea
Innovative Computerized co-axial tomography (CAT)-scan methods have been applied to two short cores collected in the southern Caspian Sea, offshore from the Langarud–Rudsar region of Iran, to the east of the Sefidrud delta. Magnetic susceptibility (MS) readings, in association with other lithological criteria, are used to correlate the cores and calibrate to real time. The cores provide a sedimentary record from this largely unstudied region cove…
Introduction to the Special Issue
This introduction provides a rationale for the papers in this special issue, establishing a link between these and last year's special issue on the subject of defining applied linguistics, and arguing the case for greater attention to be given to methodological issues in our field. Papers in the collection are briefly introduced in the context of five developments that make the publication of a collection on this topic particularly timely: the pa…
College Men and Women and Their Intent to Receive Genital Human Papillomavirus Vaccine
The study set out to investigate what influences the intentions of college students to get vaccinated against genital human papillomavirus (HPV). College men and women were surveyed to understand their intentions. Regression was used and supported that the constructs of the health belief model (HBM) as well as gender, norms, and information seeking contributed to predicting intent to receive the HPV vaccine, R 2 = .61, F(6, 159) = 39.41, p
Pollen evidence for Late Pliocene – Early Pleistocene vegetation and climate change in the North Caucasus, North-Western Caspian Region
Reconstructions of deltaic environments from Holocene palynological records in the Volga delta, northern Caspian Sea
New palynological and ostracod data are presented from the Holocene Volga delta, obtained from short cores and surface samples collected in the Damchik region, near Astrakhan, Russian Federation in the northern Caspian Sea. Four phases of delta deposition are recognized and constrained by accelerated mass spectrometry (AMS) radiocarbon ages. Palynological records show that erosive channels, dunes (Baer hills) and inter-dune lakes were present dur…

Irreversible river water quality and the concept of the reference condition
In the W ater F ramework D irective ( WFD ), ‘water quality’ now refers to a comprehensive assessment of the state of aquatic ecosystems (whether fluvial or lacustrine), which are evaluated by their deviation from a pre‐determined historically‐based reference condition. However, the WFD does not consider theoretically whether water quality can be expected to recover to a historical condition; it simply assumes that it is possible for quality to b…
Theorizing Qualitative Research Interviews in Applied Linguistics
Interviews have long been used as a method in applied linguistics for the investigation of an extraordinary array of phenomena. In quantitative research, interviews have been used to generate insights into matters as varied as cognitive processes in language learning, lexical inferencing, motivation, language attitudes, program evaluation, language classroom pedagogy, language proficiency, and learner autonomy (see e.g. Brown 1988; Dörnyei 2007; …
Using Micro-Analysis in Interviewer Training
Despite the recent growth of interest in the interactional construction of research interviews and advances made in our understanding of the nature of such encounters, relatively little attention has been paid to the implications of this for interviewer training, with the result that advice on interviewing techniques tends to be very general. Drawing on analyses of a feature of research interviews that is usually treated as analytically insignifi…
Professional orientation in back region humor
This article focuses on the use of back region humor in two different professional settings in order to highlight the ways in which professional orientations are reflected in both topic selection and style of humor. The first part of the paper examines humor in a prototypical back region setting, the school staffroom, challenging the view that such staffrooms exhibit characteristics associated with a back region, where professional issues do not …

Trends in qualitative research in language teaching since 2000
This paper reviews developments in qualitative research in language teaching since the year 2000, focusing on its contributions to the field and identifying issues that emerge. Its aims are to identify those areas in language teaching where qualitative research has the greatest potential and indicate what needs to be done to further improve the quality of its contribution. The paper begins by highlighting current trends and debates in the general…
The nature of publishing and assessment in Geography and Environmental Studies
We present a summary of the kinds of outputs submitted to the Geography and Environmental Studies sub‐panel (H‐32) for the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise (RAE), and examine the relationships between the peer assessment of research quality that the RAE process has typified, and alternative modes of assessment based on bibliometrics. This comparison is effected using (in aggregate form) some of the results from the RAE, together with citation da…
Conversations across the divide
Derrida Reframed
Deconstruction' is touted in every visual area from architecture to fashion, yet few really understand what Derrida's notorious concept means, much less his elusive idea of 'différance'. In fact Derrida's work can seem almost impenetrable. This guide explains Derrida's key concepts through examples from across the whole spectrum of the arts, looking at the work of architects, fashion designers, and at the work of artists.--[book cover

‘Being the Teacher’
Recent debate on the standard classroom Initiation–Response–Follow-up pattern has focused particular attention on the final move and the contribution it can make to productive interaction in teacher-fronted situations. This paper suggests that current research in this area has tended to exaggerate the pedagogic impact of changes based on specifiable discourse moves, proposing instead an approach to analysis which takes account of the dynamic natu…

Complexity and emergence (another conversation)
At the Annual Conference of the RGS-IBG in 2005, on 31 August, another session was held in the series that began at the Annual Conference in 2003 under the generic title "Conversations across the divide". These meetings have evolved with the aim of encouraging human and physical geographers to communicate with one another about their concepts, methods, languages and research agendas (Harrison et al. 2004). In 2005, a conceptual theme was chosen: …
Thinking across the divide
This paper reports on a meeting which was held at the RGS/IBG annual conference in London in September 2003, where we aimed to investigate and debate some of the ways in which human and physical geography could (and should?) reopen a dialogue. This conference session was timely for three reasons. First, whilst human geography has a long tradition of engaging in philosophical discussion, physical geographers have been rather more reluctant to exam…

Geography in the United Kingdom 1992-1996
Tr IURBULENT YEARS' AND 'MAJOR UPHEAVAL' have been phrases used to characterize both the periods 1984-88 and 1988-92 by previous authors of these quadrennial reviews of Geography in the UK (Bennett and Thornes, 1988; Gardner and Hay, 1992). Yet, when set against the enormous shifts and 'frenzied activity' (Johnston, 1995c) of the years 1992-96, those earlier periods seem in retrospect almost to have been years of relative stability and calm, pref…

Some Ideas and Reflections on Teaching 'Ideas' in Geography
This paper outlines the characteristics of a seminar on realism which forms part of the teaching of 'ideas and methods in geography' in the department concerned. The seminar requires each of about a dozen students to answer a specific question by reading a single paper, writing a summary answer to the question based on this source, and delivering an oral presentation. The questions are structured to deal with abstract theoretical issues at first,…

Why Best Practice Is Not Good Enough
The editors of this volume assert that accounts of properly justified and fully contextualised responses to actual teaching (and teacher education) situations provide a valuable resource for professional development. We identify fully with this assertion and with the editors' stated intention to give such reports more attention than has previously been the case in TESOL Quarterly. Our concern in this piece is to take this position further by argu…
