The ‘hidden roots’ of neoliberal fascism: Race, gender and the intensification of neoliberal hegemony
With the rise of authoritarian figures such as Donald Trump, Nigel Farage, Marine Le Pen and Viktor Orban, several scholars have examined the linkages between neoliberalism and contemporary fascism. While some argue that fascism’s emergence must necessarily mean the revolutionary break from (neo)liberal ideals, others have excavated ideological overlaps between the two projects. We utilize insights from the Black Radical tradition, which highligh…
Automated property parcel classification using very high-resolution land cover imagery and multi-modal deep learning: Effective city-scale monitoring for urban expansion outcome modelling
This study addresses the challenges of monitoring urban development where sprawl, infill and soft densification are prevalent. To accurately identify the spatial distribution and characteristics of different development types, a multi-modal deep learning model was developed to predict parcel-level development types using very high-resolution land cover maps and tabular data representing parcel attributes of surface cover, built form and dwelling …
Association between preschooler outdoor play and home yard vegetation as measured by high resolution imagery: Findings from the PLAYCE study
Understanding variations in the built environment over time to inform longitudinal studies of young children's physical activity behaviour - The Beaches project
We know relatively little about the role the neighbourhood built environment plays in promoting young children's physical activity, particularly its longitudinal effect either through repeated exposure to the same environment or through change in exposure by moving from one neighbourhood to another. This study characterised the neighbourhood environment of young children in the PLAYCE cohort study over three timepoints from 2015 to 2023. There we…
The ‘More Than Maps’ framework for building research capacity among young people in coastal climate change adaptation
When young people engage with climate change education, they are often left feeling disempowered and daunted. But past research has shown that there are ways to design and deliver climate change education that can be empowering and enabling. The delivery of climate change education was further challenged in 2020 by the shift to online learning driven by the COVID‐19 pandemic restrictions. However, the challenges of the pandemic context also offer…
Opposition or Acquiescence to Neoliberal Hegemony? A Sociological Analysis of the Use of Human Rights Frames in UK Social Movements
Building on recent work in the field of sociology of rights which emphasizes the ‘social life of rights’ and the interaction between micro-level social constructions via social movement action, and macro-level systemic forces, this paper constructs a counter-hegemonic theory of human rights. By drawing on both Gramscian theories and a Social Reproduction Theory framework, a novel view of neoliberal hegemony is described. The role of human rights …

Effects of training parents in dialogic book‐sharing: The Early‐Years Provision in Children's Centers (Epicc) study
Shared picture-book reading is well-recognized as beneficial for children's early language development, especially where “dialogic book-sharing” techniques are used. Possible benefits of dialogic book-sharing to other aspects of child development have been little investigated, and it has not been widely studied in European populations. We conducted a randomized trial of dialogic book-sharing in Children's Centers in the UK, with parents of 2- to-…
Deforestation-induced surface warming is influenced by the fragmentation and spatial extent of forest loss in Maritime Southeast Asia
Deforestation in the tropics causes warming which contributes to regional climate change. Forest loss occurs over a broad range of spatial scales, producing a variety of spatial patterns of cleared and forested land. Whether the spatial attributes of these patterns influence the resulting temperature change remains largely unknown. We adopted a differences-in-differences approach to analyse remotely-sensed forest loss and land surface temperature…
The death of neoliberalism? UK responses to the pandemic
It is sometimes argued that unprecedented and drastic interventions to mitigate the economic and social effects of the pandemic must herald the diminution of neoliberal ideology in guiding UK government responses. However, by reference to government approaches to the previous crisis in 2008, and the recession that followed, that view is here considered to be simplistic, resting in part upon an over-narrow understanding of neoliberalism. Instead, …
Leaf my neighbourhood alone! predicting the influence of densification on residential tree canopy cover in Perth
Forest loss in Brazil increases maximum temperatures within 50 km
Forest cover loss in the tropics is well known to cause warming at deforested sites, with maximum temperatures being particularly sensitive. Forest loss causes warming by altering local energy balance and surface roughness, local changes that can propagate across a wide range of spatial scales. Consequently, temperature increases result from not only changes in forest cover at a site, but also by the aggregate effects of non-local forest loss. We…
Cognitive Diversity in a Healthy Aging Cohort: Cross-Domain Cognition in the Cam-CAN Project
Objective: Studies of "healthy" cognitive aging often focus on a limited set of measures that decline with age. The current study argues that defining and supporting healthy cognition requires understanding diverse cognitive performance across the lifespan. Method: Data from the Cambridge Centre for Aging and Neuroscience (Cam-CAN) cohort was examined across a range of cognitive domains. Performance was related to lifestyle including education, s…
The tea landscape of Assam: Multi-stakeholder insights into sustainable livelihoods under a changing climate
Tea plays a pivotal role in India’s national economy, with the state of Assam the world’s largest regional producer of black tea. However, various socio-environmental factors are threatening tea production and the livelihoods of millions of people reliant upon the industry. Little documentation exists which provides comprehensive spatial insights into tea production practices and associated livelihoods. Additionally, vulnerability from climate ch…

The resilience of integrated agricultural systems to climate change
We reviewed studies addressing the extent to which more integrated agricultural systems ( IAS ) have been found to be more resilient to climate variability and climate change than more specialized agricultural systems. We found limited literature directly addressing the topic, necessitating the use of proxy measures to enlarge the sample. Where necessary, we used agricultural system richness and diversity as proxies for the presence of the sort o…
Resilience to hazards: Rice farmers in the Mahanadi Delta, India
Developing country deltas are important food producing areas and are home to large numbers of subsistence farmers. In particular, rice farmers dominate the populous deltas of South and Southeast Asia and face frequent climate hazards that have short-and long-term impacts on rice production and livelihoods. The aim of this study is to identify and explain proximal and ultimate factors (land access, cultural practices, and institutional support) th…
The Hope of Creation: The Significance of ἐφ’ ἑλπίδι (Rom 8.20c) in Context
This paper explores the meaning of ἐφ’ ἑλπίδι in Rom 8.20c. This phrase has been variously understood as denoting a hope exercised by the one who subjected creation or a hope inhering in creation despite its subjection. After surveying and evaluating the standard proposals, I argue for an alternative manner of punctuating vv. 19–21 that makes it possible to preserve the most common meaning of ἐπί with the dative, while also taking creation itself…
Sustainable development and the water–energy–food nexus: A perspective on livelihoods
The water–energy–food nexus is being promoted as a conceptual tool for achieving sustainable development. Frameworks for implementing nexus thinking, however, have failed to explicitly or adequately incorporate sustainable livelihoods perspectives. This is counterintuitive given that livelihoods are key to achieving sustainable development. In this paper we present a critical review of nexus approaches and identify potential linkages with sustain…

Travels in Western Africa, in 1845 & 1846, comprising a journey from Whydah, through the kingdom of Dahomey, to Adofoodia, in the interior
INold caboceer and my guide both informed me, that, during the seven months' war in Gbowelley and the neighbouring mountains to the eastward, four hundred caboceers were killed, so that, allowing only a proportion of one hundred individuals to each caboceer, at least forty thousand men must have perished.After a great deal of remonstrance and per- suasion with the caboceer and my captain, a pro- mise was given that I should be allowed to examine …

The Social Background to the Founding of the Chosŏn Dynasty: Change or Continuity
The Social Background to the Founding of the Chosön Dynasty: Change or Continuity? John Duncan Xt has become a truism in Korean history that the founding of the Chosön dynasty in 1392 represented the victory of a new scholarofficial (sinhúng sadaebu) class that rose in opposition to the old aristocracy during the late Koryö period. This proposition, first articulated in the post-1945 era by such historians as Yi Sangbaek,1 has become a central te…
Visual search and stimulus similarity.
A new theory of search and visual attention is presented. Results support neither a distinction between serial and parallel search nor between search for features and conjunctions. For all search materials, instead, difficulty increases with increased similarity of targets to nontargets and decreasedsimilarity between nontargets, producing a continuum of search efficiency. A parallel stage of perceptual grouping and description is followed by com…
