A Fraught Fanfare: Acoustic Enemies in Ducal Siena
This study explores the sonic dimensions of Cosimo I de’Medici’s triumphal entry into Siena on 28 October 1560. Tracing the histories of three prominent sounds in the procession, this analysis parses how these sounds interacted with one another, as well as with visual elements and urban space in the 1560 procession. This article posits that these sounds communicated a sonic language of political dominance which effectively co-opted Sienese civic …
Enabling the uptake of circular water solutions
This study advances the discourse on the transition from a linear to a circular water paradigm, within which water is reused and resources such as nutrients and energy can be recovered. The research provides an empirical evidence from demonstrative cases, identifying the technological, economic, socio-cultural, and regulatory factors that facilitate or impede the broader adoption of circular solutions in the water sector. It proposes an integrate…
Exploring public perceptions and support for green infrastructure funding mechanisms: A study of the Oxford–Cambridge Arc, England
The uptake of green infrastructure is challenged by a lack of access to financing. Studies have investigated individuals’ economic valuation of green infrastructure but understanding public perceptions of a range of potential funding mechanisms is a fundamental step in developing funding measures. Using data collected from a sample of residents in the Oxford–Cambridge Arc, England, this study addresses a gap in our understanding of public percept…
Effect of Veteran-Focused Suicide Prevention Public Messaging on Help-Seeking Behavior and Secure Firearm Storage
Suicide is a major public health concern in the United States. Veterans are among those at higher risk for death by suicide. Firearm ownership is one factor that contributes to veterans' elevated suicide risk. The current study sought to determine the effectiveness of an evidence-based, multi-media advertising campaign with a specific focus on veterans related to secure storage of firearms and general help-seeking attitudes during a mental health…
Real-life resilience: Exploring the organisational environment of international water utilities
The water sector has signalled the need to advance organisational and social resilience efforts. There is a lack of understanding of whether the organisational environment in water utilities is conducive to organisational resilience. Themes from interviews showcased challenges related to cognitive and contextual organisational properties. We identified a need to broaden the cognitive frame of utilities to account for flexible concepts of enhanced…
Belonging in charlotte: Multiscalar Differences in Local Immigration Politics and Policies
In the context of Charlotte, North Carolina's, emergence as a "globalizing" pre‐emergent immigrant gateway, this paper focuses on a complex and multiscalar set of governmental policies and community‐development dynamics that are shaping localized response to Hispanic/Latino immigration. Specifically, we explore how these policies and dynamics play out spatially in the context of two Charlotte neighborhoods, both of which have similar historical r…

Human Trafficking: The Unintended Effects of United Nations Intervention
International relations literature is well developed on the effects of United Nations intervention on the duration of crises. The global human rights community has on a case-by-case basis addressed some of the unintended effects of UN intervention, namely, substantial increases in the human sex trafficking trade into crisis areas. We bridge these two literatures and evaluate the effects of UN involvement in Kosovo, Haiti and Sierra Leone.We look …
Counter-geographies: The campaign against rationalisation of agricultural research stations in New South Wales, Australia
Development and Validation of a Scale of Perceived Social Self-Efficacy
The present study involved the development and psychometric evaluation of the Scale of Perceived Social Self-Efficacy (PSSE), a measure of self-efficacy expectations with respect to a range of social behaviors. A high degree of internal consistency reliability was found for the PSSE in a development sample of 354 undergraduate students (90 males and 264 females), with coefficient alpha = .94. Test-retest reliability over a 3-week interval was r =…
The Grassy Street
Groups for children of divorced parents
This article deals with children's feelings at the time of, and after, parental separation. The argument is that it is important for children to have the opportunity of sharing their feelings, in a confidential setting, about such a momentous change in their lives. Children's groups are a way of meeting this need. In the Family Law Act 1996 new procedures relating to divorce are proposed. It is arguable that an opportunity has been lost, because …
