Out of Step with the World
Photo by Glen E. Friedman [E]ven though it seems like Minor Threat looks kind of normal in its clothing, sitting on the front porch on our last record, Salad Days, [...] that was shocking. That was kind of revolutionary within the punk scene, to be dressing down. -Jeff Nelson Punk upended music and fashion when it burst onto the popular culture landscape in the mid-1970s. Its provocative visual aesthetic—from album artwork to fanzines to clothing…
Safety and efficacy of the ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccine (AZD1222) against Sars-CoV-2
Background A safe and efficacious vaccine against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), if deployed with high coverage, could contribute to the control of the COVID-19 pandemic. We evaluated the safety and efficacy of the ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccine in a pooled interim analysis of four trials. Methods This analysis includes data from four ongoing blinded, randomised, controlled trials done across the UK, Brazil, and South Afri…
Lessons From Learners
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, many medical schools suspended clinical clerkships and implemented newly adapted curricula to facilitate continued educational progress. While the implementation of these new curricula has been described, an understanding of the impact on student learning outcomes is lacking. In 2020, the authors followed Kern’s 6-step approach to curricular development to create and evaluate a novel COVID-19 curriculum for m…
Mainstreaming climate adaptation into social protection
As the consequences of climate change become better understood, there is growing agreement among development practitioners and academics on the need for mainstreaming climate adaptation into social protection. This review paper assesses the progress in mainstreaming efforts, revealing that there has been considerable progress made to date. However, a number of critical issues relating to the challenges of such mainstreaming in the context of deve…
John Collins and the Double Horizontal Dial
On his admission to the Royal Society in 1667, John Collins presented to it, and described, an example of Henry Sutton's double horizontal dial with additions by himself. His description given on that occasion is here transcribed with some commentary both on the dial itself and on Collins’ involvement with it
I want something new
Recountings of the Washington, DC punk rock scene’s history often start with the founding of Dischord Records in 1980 and focus on the subsequent ascent of Dischord co-owner Ian MacKaye’s bands like Minor Threat and Fugazi. As seminal as Dischord remains in the narrative of DC punk – a community still thriving today – the years just prior to the label’s founding generated the scene’s true incunabula. Beginning with the self-released debut EP from…

Curricular Approaches to Transgender Health in Physician Assistant Education
PURPOSE: According to the Williams Institute, 1.4 million U.S. adults identify as transgender. Many experience health care disparities. Professional organizations call for medical education to improve transgender care, but what curricula are being delivered is unknown. The goal of this study was to conduct the first comprehensive, national survey of transgender health care curricula in physician assistant (PA) education. METHOD: The authors sent …
Brexit
This paper estimates the effects of potential post-Brexit UK trade and domestic agricultural policy scenarios on the economic welfare (real income) of farm households, at both regional (devolved administrations) and national level. Results show that depending on the selected scenario, particularly the retention or elimination of direct payments as currently provided under Pillar 1 of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), the impact varies signifi…
High-Expectations Relationships
Enacting high expectations for all students in the classroom is a complex undertaking. Underlying, out-of-awareness assumptions may lead to actions, behaviours or pedagogic choices that do not support these high expectations beliefs and intentions. For Indigenous education, this is compounded by public and professional discourses around deficit positioning, and by historical conditioning, where many Indigenous students do not see achieving in sch…
Time on a Tablet
This article offers the first comprehensive study of a newly discovered type of medieval sundial made of ivory which might well be the precursor of the well-known diptych dial form made from ivory and wood. These sundials are unique for the combination with a wax writing tablet (tabula cerata) on the reverse side, such as has been deployed as a reusable and portable writing surface in Antiquity and throughout the Middle Ages. Three previously unp…
Factors that influence elementary school teachers’ attitudes towards inclusion of visually impaired children in Turkey
There is a scarcity of research on inclusion of visually impaired children in Turkey. Specifically, a gap exists concerning the attitudes of elementary school teachers towards the inclusion of visually impaired children in mainstream schools. This article uses data from two questionnaires, leveraging the responses of 253 teachers from rural and urban areas. The results demonstrate that elementary school teachers commonly hold positive attitudes t…
Teaching with American Art
Fit for a King
The great Sloane astrolabe in the British Museum is the largest and most important of all medieval English instruments and yet its history is completely lost. In this paper, evidence from its various engravings is used to show that it is likely to have been commissioned, ca. 1326, by Richard de Bury as a teaching tool for Prince Edward of Windsor who was soon to become King Edward iii . Comparisons are made with two illuminated manuscripts, the “…
Is Mainstream Economics a Science Bubble
This article uses George Soros’ theory of boom–bust cycles to argue that mainstream economics, as built on Samuelson’s Foundations, followed a similar boom-bust cycle. It underwent a reflexive, positive feedback pattern of development before 1980 followed by a reflexive, negative feedback pattern of development after 1980, making it a science bubble. The positive feedback pattern was associated with the ‘misconception’ that when economics is fram…
Pluralism and Anti-pluralism in Economics
This short paper examines a possible connection between religion and economics in terms of the parallelism between the atomistic individual doctrine and the individual soul doctrine. The paper explores whether resistance to pluralism in economics as a methodological practice might be illuminated in terms of this connection. On this view, resistance to pluralism in economics is not a matter of economists holding methodological views about economic…
Pluralism’ In Economics? A Symposium
Bismarck, Europa und die ‘Krieg-in-Sicht’-Krise von 1875, by Johannes Janorschke
In this hefty volume Johannes Janorschke presents the most thoroughly researched and comprehensive study to date of the War-in-Sight crisis of 1875. Historical investigation and discussion of the origins, meaning and results of the crisis have taken place in many countries since the events themselves. The crisis was ostensibly caused by German newspaper articles in April 1875 which suggested that Germany, for the sake of its own security, should …
The Western River Steamboat Heroine, 1832-1838, Oklahoma, USA
This paper describes the excavation, discoveries relating to the hull, machinery, and artefacts, and the history of an early steamboat wreck discovered in the Red River between Oklahoma and Texas. The wreck has been identified as the side-wheel steamer Heroine, a vessel in service on the Mississippi, Ohio, and other western rivers of North America during the 1830s. It is the earliest example of this famous type of vessel yet studied

Reflecting on Children and Young People's Participation in the UK
The article interrogates how children and young people's participation in public decision-making has been promoted in the UK. It considers critically the reasons typically (and persuasively) put forward for such participation, which can be categorized as: the promotion of children's rights; alignment with consumerism and service user involvement; enhancing democracy; and developing children's well-being and development. Each of these reasons can …

The Borough Franchise after 1867
This article investigates the practical effects of the extension of the parliamentary franchise in 1867, examining the extent of enfranchisement in different types of borough and the reasons for the differences observed. An uneven pattern emerges, with registration law more open-ended in its application than has previously been claimed, but with the practical obstacles to enfranchisement reinforced by the inadequacy of the registration machinery.…
