A protocol for mobilising novel finance models for collaborative health promotion and disease prevention initiatives: Taking a smart capacitating investment approach in the Invest4Health project
Background: The prevalence of preventable non-communicable disease (NCD) underpins the need for a life-course and cross-sectoral approach to population health that is grounded in health promotion and disease prevention. European Union (EU) countries typically spend 6 to 13% of gross domestic product (GDP) on health care, yet less than 3% of this is dedicated to prevention. The extent to which spending in other sectors prevents avoidable ill-healt…
The Weight of the Printed Word: Text, Context and Militancy in Operaismo
In The Weight of the Printed Word, Steve Wright explores the creation and use of documents as a key dimension in the activities of the Italian workerists during the 1960s and 1970s. From leaflets and newspapers to books, internal documents and workers' enquiries; the operaisti deployed a wide variety of printed materials in their efforts to organise amongst new subjectivities of mass rebellion. As Wright demonstrates, the practice of working with…
Rancière, political theory and activist community appraisal
Researchers must continually discriminate between competing sources of evidence, knowledge and theoretical justification, selecting who we believe to be credible informants and what we perceive as reliable testimony. In the keeping of records, particularly in the act of appraisal, we utilise methods of evaluation that reflect the social processes, institutional procedures, and interpersonal influences common to our disciplinary milieu. Viewing ac…
Spiritual Support During Covid-19 in England: A Scoping Study of Online Sources
Spiritual support is a key element of holistic care, and better healthcare professionals training and stronger strategic guidelines become urgent in light of health disasters and emergencies, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. To this end, the aim of this study was to explore spiritual support provision within mass and social media and the websites of spiritual leaders, institutions and NHS chaplaincy units during COVID-19 in England, between March a…
Dis-eases of secrecy – tracing history, memory and justice
Ostensibly, this unusual book is a critique of South Africa’s ‘Project Coast’ – a top secret biological and chemical weapons programme evolved during the apartheid years between 1981 and 1995. It i

Whistleblowing: A practical guide
Before and After Snowden
This editorial for the Surveillance and Security Intelligence After Snowden issue provides a very brief history of National Security Agency whistleblowers and investigations before Edward Snowden, and sets the current wave of NSA whistleblowing in the context of a growing demand for openness, transparency and accountability opposing the renewed closures and secrecy of the War on Terror. It also provides some links for further research and reading

The corporate machinery of global violence—A suitable case for treatment
The tactical approach to teaching games from teaching, learning and mentoring perspectives
This study examined the teaching of games via a tactical approach (also known as teaching games for understanding) from the theoretical perspective of social constructivism. A pilot study (of student teachers (STs) and pupils) informed the ‘main’ study which included collecting data on 49 STs, 58 cooperating teachers (CTs) and 1177 pupils. ST data were collected through videotaping (lessons), interviews and questionnaires; CT data through intervi…
An evaluation of the transport to employment (T2E) scheme in Highland Scotland using social return on investment (SROI)
Mapping Pathways within Italian Autonomist Marxism: A Preliminary Survey
Borio, Pozzi and Roggero (eds.) 2005 have characterised operaismo as 'neither a homogenous doctrinaire corpus, nor a unitary political subject', but rather 'multiple pathways with their roots in a common theoretical matrix'. Starting with a diagram drawn up by Primo Moroni in the 1980s, this paper will explore a number of the ways in which those paths might be mapped out, in terms of key categories and projects, above all for the years that follo…
The Internet for the Blind and Visually Impaired
A qualitative study of fifteen blind or visually impaired persons and sixteen professionals who work with blind and visually impaired persons sought to explore the potential role of the Internet in information provision for this group of people. Traditional forms of access to information such as print have meant that people who are blind and visually impaired have more difficulty in accessing the same range of information that people who are sigh…

Demand responsive transport: Towards the emergence of a new market segment
Countershock: Mobilizing resistance to electroshock weapons
Electroshock, stun and restraint technologies are often used for torture and as tools of repression. There is much information available exposing the problems with such technologies, but little about how to be effective in challenging their use. The concept of political ju-jitsu--the process by which an attack on a non-violent resister can backfire on the attackers--is introduced and adapted to examine challenges to electroshock weapons. In order…
Operaismo, Autonomia, Settantasette in Translation: Then, Now, the Future
Interest in the work of Antonio Negri is considerable these days, and can be measured by a variety of means. For the past few years, the prestigious Italian leftist daily Il manifesto has published the 30 most searched for terms within the newspaper's online edition. Of these, the word “Negri” ranked fifth in 1999, 14th in 2000, ninth in 2001, 11th in 2002, and ninth again for the month of May 2003. Engagement with Negri's work has also been on t…
The Echelon Trail: An Illegal Vision
This article tells the story behind the uncovering of the US operated global telecommunications interceptions system now known as ECHELON. It begins with the use of fieldwork techniques in the early 1970's exploring the configuration of Britain's Post Office Towers – these were ostensibly the microwave links through which Britain's long distance telephone calls were made. This modelling process revealed a system within the system of microwave tow…
Report. Sub-lethal vision: Varieties of military surveillance technology
The role of sub‐lethal weapons in human rights abuse
This article is based on two recent reports contracted by the European Parliament (EP), which assessed sub-lethal weapons as flexible tools of political control. It analyses the role and function of existing weapons systems in human rights abuses using examples from Indonesia, Israel, Kenya, Northern Ireland and Turkey. These weapons are designed to 'appear' rather than 'be' safe and, since they augment rather than replace lethal technologies, th…
A Love Born of Hate: Autonomist Rap in Italy
Perhaps the most distinctive aspect of Italian-language rap in the 1990s has been the close association of some popular performers with the nation's radical Left. Through a critical reading of the imagery, lyrics and other writings of two of Italy's best known rap bands, this essay seeks to explore the tensions between cultural labour and political commitment in the social centres movement

New Police Technologies: An Exploration of the Social Implications and Unforeseen Impacts of Some Recent Developments
Whilst developments in military hardware receive critical attention almost as a matter of course, innovations in police technology are only rarely focused upon. In this article an attempt is made to rectify this anomaly by providing a detailed survey of some recent devel opments in police technologies, as well as directing concern towards the unanticipated consequences associated with their integration into systems of socio-political control.

Landmines: A worse fate still to come
As the number of countries joing the ban on anti‐personnel mines slowly rises, Landmine Action has been investigating the weapons being stockpiled and invented to replace those banned. It seems that Governments, the military and manufacturers have not learned from the problems with landmines. They are stockpiling and quietly developing alternative mines that may be inhumane, dangerous and, in some cases, potentially as lethal as the weapons they …
