Are simple models for natural ventilation suitable for shelter design
Many competing airflow models are available to aid designers size windows for natural ventilation, but their complexity in terms of computation and the required expertise needed has limited their application in shelter design. Shelters house over 8 million people worldwide, and the prevalent inadequacy of indoor air quality exacerbates health risks. This study examines the use of simplified airflow models to guide the shelter design process to de…
Contemporary probation practice
The role that social class plays within the desistance journeys of individuals on probation is largely unexplored. This lack of understanding is acknowledged as a limitation within theorising around desistance processes. It also prompts questions as to the awareness of class and classism issues amongst probation staff and their practice approaches within this difficult area of professional application. This reflective paper offers some discussion…
A review of the impact of shelter design on the health of displaced populations
There are currently millions of displaced people encamped in low-quality shelters that jeopardise the health of these displaced populations. These shelters, which exhibit poor thermal regulation and air quality, are often inhabited by households for several years. Recently, the internal environment of shelters has been recognised as a determinant of the health of the occupants and the indoor air quality (IAQ) and internal temperatures have been i…
Putting a face to a name
This article is about the experience of telephone supervision from the perspective of practitioners. It is set in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic, which changed and challenged the nature of probation supervision and required service users and supervisors to communicate remotely, using the telephone, rather than by meeting face-to-face. The article explores some of the impacts and consequences of telephone contact and examines the extent to w…
The potential for computational IT tools in disaster relief and shelter design
The expanding use of IT has brought an increase in productivity to the world of business, industry and commerce. However, this is not mirrored by an equivalent growth in the use of IT by aid agencies in post-disaster situations. We report a pioneering two-stage study which tested the appetite for the increased use of computational IT tools in this sector, assessed their level of usefulness and whether they can be practically implemented. Thirty a…
Probation staff supervision
Probation staff supervision is an established professional practice tool, documented historically through the lens of the Probation Journal. This article charts Journal discussions surrounding staff supervision and places them alongside a recent research study examining current practice. Study findings indicate that staff value dedicated time and space for structured supervision that contains significant elements of a more clinical approach. Neve…
Net-zero buildings
Many climate change-related building frameworks are designed to improve environmental performance by requiring reduced net energy demand, as it is widely assumed that energy demand (e.g. delivered/final, primary, primary non-renewable) is a good proxy for carbon emissions. However, energy grids are becoming less carbon intensive, meaning that the climate change mitigation value of renewably generated energy is not static, and is likely to decreas…
Analysing experiences and issues in self-built shelters in Bangladesh using transdisciplinary approach
There are currently 70.8 million forcibly displaced people, globally. Bangladesh hosts the largest refugee camp in the world. Much effort has gone into the research, design and delivery of mass-produced shelters. Yet most refugees live in self-built shelters using simple shelter materials. This paper aims to demonstrate the benefits of using a transdisciplinary approach for holistic data collection in such shelters. A total of 1594 households wer…
Mining Social Media to Identify Heat Waves
Heat waves are one of the deadliest of natural hazards and their frequency and intensity will likely increase as the climate continues to warm. A challenge in studying these phenomena is the lack of a universally accepted quantitative definition that captures both temperature anomalies and associated mortality. We test the hypothesis that social media mining can be used to identify heat wave mortality. Applying the approach to India, we find that…
The Signifying Power of Pearl
The fourteenth-century dream vision Pearl is an insistently uncooperative poem. Generically, it oscillates among elegy, allegory and consolation; theologically, it reads as both unyielding in its C

New York: Routledge, 2015; pp. 208. Given its ephemeral state, live performance often only lasts beyond our experience of it through our memories. Those memories degrade over time, falling apart a little bit more with each recollection. Despite this, certain images from …
