Numeracy, Otherness, and the Invention of ‘Civilization’ in Seventeenth- and Eighteenth-Century Anglo-European Travel Writing
Depictions of numeracy among non-Europeans were a prominent feature of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Anglo-European travel writing, but remain largely overlooked in the extensive scholarship on travel, knowledge, and empire. This article shifts attention from traditionally ‘scientific’ forms of numeracy such as mathematics and astronomy towards more fundamental counting, calculation, and communication skills, to examine the way in which mut…

Reconciliation of total particulate organic carbon and nitrogen measurements determined using contrasting methods in the North Pacific Ocean as part of the Nasa EXPORTS field campaign
Measurements of particulate organic carbon (POC) are critical for understanding the ocean carbon cycle, including biogenic particle formation and removal processes, and for constraining models of carbon cycling at local, regional, and global scales. Despite the importance and ubiquity of POC measurements, discrepancies in methods across platforms and users, necessary to accommodate a multitude of needs and logistical constraints, commonly result …
Influence of amino acids on bacterioplankton production, biomass and community composition at Ocean Station Papa in the subarctic Pacific
Bacterioplankton play a central role in carbon cycling, yet their relative contributions to carbon production and removal can be difficult to constrain. As part of the Export Processes in the Ocean from RemoTe Sensing (EXPORTS) program, this study identifies potential influences of bacterioplankton community and dissolved organic matter (DOM) composition on carbon cycling at Ocean Station Papa in August 2018. Surface (5–35 m) bacterioplankton pro…
Particle cycling rates at Station P as estimated from the inversion of POC concentration data
Particle cycling rates in marine systems are difficult to measure directly, but of great interest in understanding how carbon and other elements are distributed throughout the ocean. Here, rates of particle production, aggregation, disaggregation, sinking, remineralization, and transport mediated by zooplankton diel vertical migration were estimated from size-fractionated measurements of particulate organic carbon (POC) concentration collected du…
Numeracy and Popular Culture
Cocker’s Arithmetick was the most popular English-language arithmetic textbook from the late seventeenth to the mid-eighteenth century. Though well known to historians of popular mathematics, the reasons for its remarkable success remain largely unexplored. To explain why Cocker became a bestseller, this article identifies the economic, sociocultural, and intellectual conditions which spurred demand for arithmetical books, before considering the …
A Culture of Organizational Grit From the Perspective of U.S. Military Officers
With the backdrop of the utility of grit at the individual level, speculation has begun to circulate that grit may exist as an organizational level phenomenon. To explore this potential construct, this study used an exploratory, qualitative research design. This study explored grit at the organizational level by interviewing leaders’ perceptions of what may be a culture of organizational grit. Participants included 14 U.S. military officers. Seve…
Mental Well-Being in UK Higher Education During Covid-19
This paper draws upon the concept of recreancy to examine the mental well-being of university students during the Covid-19 pandemic. Briefly, recreancy is loss of societal trust that results when institutional actors can no longer be counted on to perform their responsibilities. Our study of mental well-being and recreancy focuses on the role of universities and government regulators within the education sector. We surveyed 600 UK students attend…
An operational overview of the EXport Processes in the Ocean from RemoTe Sensing (EXPORTS) Northeast Pacific field deployment
The goal of the EXport Processes in the Ocean from RemoTe Sensing (EXPORTS) field campaign is to develop a predictive understanding of the export, fate, and carbon cycle impacts of global ocean net primary production. To accomplish this goal, observations of export flux pathways, plankton community composition, food web processes, and optical, physical, and biogeochemical (BGC) properties are needed over a range of ecosystem states. Here we intro…
The Tsunami of Pesticide Use for Rice Production on Java and Its Consequences
The consequences of the ‘Green Revolution’ persist in Indonesia and are most evident in the continuing high use of pesticides. After 1986, Indonesia made dramatic reductions in its use of pesticides for rice by adopting methods of integrated pest management, but these reductions were significantly reversed after 2002, producing a ‘tsunami’ in a costly and deleterious promotion of a wide range of pesticides. By destroying natural predators, this d…

Master poets, ritual masters
This is a study in oral poetic composition. It examines how oral poets compose their recitations. Specifically, it is a study of the recitations of 17 separate master poets from the Island of Rote recorded over a period of 50 years. Each of these poets offers his version of what is culturally considered to be the ‘same’ ritual chant. These compositions are examined in detail
Eastern Indonesia in Austronesian Perspective
This paper considers eastern Indonesia from two directions: from the direction of western Austronesia (including Taiwan) and from the direction of Oceania. The paper is concerned with regional variation in terminological relations: what terminological patterns have carried through to eastern Indonesia from the western Austronesian region; what patterns have been transformed; what patterns are distinctive of the region; and what relational pattern…
Public Perception of Security and Privacy
This study reports public preferences for security, surveillance and privacy across 27 European Member States measured using a stated preference survey. It focuses on three real life contexts: metro travel, internet use and health records

Poppy Politics
In November 2011 a scandal was ignited when FIFA (the international football governing body) refused to allow the English football team to wear remembrance poppies on their shirts for a match against Spain. FIFA had long enforced a universal ban on the wearing of political symbols during its games, but under intense pressure from both the government and the Royal Family it finally relented. British lobbyists had argued that the poppy was a 'unive…
Tracing Genealogies
Tracing intellectual genealogies should be of particular interest to anthropologists. Genealogies are recognized as a significant way to link generations, to recognize predecessors and to trace origins. They are thus a primary basis for acknowledging participation in a tradition. The Islam tradition of learning, for example, though its use of isnad gives central importance to genealogy in affirming critical intellectual succession. And certainly …

‘Fiddling while Rome is Burning’
While the wartime experiences of British soldier-artists have received much scholarly attention, rather less is known about the artistic impact of the First World War on the home front. This article draws on a large amount of contemporary discourse (including government legislation, academic essays, tabloid editorials, publicly issued pamphlets and private letters) to describe how the inflammatory domestic climate precipitated a widespread questi…
Five Sisters
A Malay Frontier
The way in which Malays construe ideas about authority and government is the subject of this book. Focusing upon an often-ignored section of the Malay archipelago, Barus, a small kingdom on the coast of northwest Sumatra, the author compares readings based upon the royal chronicles of Hilir and Hulu Barus. She examines the relationship between the upland and the lowland to study the character of Malay political culture in Barus

Differences in Maze Performance of Group- vs Isolation-Reared Rats
A number of experimental investigations have verified that alterations in an animal's early experience may modify its normal pattern of behavior in adulthood (summarized by Denenberg, 1962 ) . Angermeier ( 1960), for example, found that animals reared together or in social isolation differ with respect to learning an instrumental response to obtain several kinds of social contacc. Recently, Woods (1959) confirmed the findings of Bingham and Griff…
