Harm reduction as “moral improvisation”: The role of frontline drug workers within Hong Kong’s abstinence-based drug policy
Background Within Hong Kong’s prohibitionist, abstinence-based approach to drug use and policy, frontline drug workers (FDWs) are the key point of contact between the state and People Who Use Drugs (PWUD).

The limited reach of surprise: Evidence against effects of surprise on memory for preceding elements of an event
When reflecting on the past, some of our strongest memories are for experiences that took us by surprise.

The four novels are modelled on the hardboiled or 'noire' US model rather than on the British whodunnit. Padura cubanizes this model and turns it against the Cuban political establishment. The texts are concerned with corruption in high places and, through the experience of the detective and his …
