‘Vit (?) dans un monde de cauchemars et d’hallucinations’
Keynes Goes Nuclear
Among the most important ideas in Cold War nuclear strategy and arms control was that of “stability”—the notion that by protecting weapons for use in retaliation, the superpowers would be less likely to fight a thermonuclear war. Conventional wisdom among strategists and historians of strategy has long held that stability was inherent to the logic of rational nuclear deterrence. This essay shows the conventional wisdom to be mistaken. It examines…
Using GIS to Advance Social Economics Research
The political, social, and economic conditions which lead to inequality, poverty, and health disparities have distinct spatial footprints. Geographic information systems (GIS) are a collection of tools that can aid the social economist in the investigation of such phenomena. Geocoding is a technical procedure that matches attribute data to spatial features in GIS. This analysis of social economy discusses the possibilities of spatial analysis and…
Taking up and Raising, Fixing and Loosing
This article identifies a structural and conceptual chiasm within the description of Jesus' death and resurrection in Acts 2.23b-24, which helps to account for the distinctive elements of the passage
Communication and the Primate Brain
Considerable knowledge is available on the neural substrates for speech and language from brain-imaging studies in humans, but until recently there was a lack of data for comparison from other animal species on the evolutionarily conserved brain regions that process species-specific communication signals. To obtain new insights into the relationship of the substrates for communication in primates, we compared the results from several neuroimaging…
The Iran–Iraq war
Policy Review Section
In this issue of the Policy Review Section, Harvey Armstrong of the Management School, Lancaster University, examines the issue of subsidiarity in relation to the application of European Community Regional Policy in Britain. In the second Article John Doling of the Department of Social Policy and Social Work, University of Birmingham reviews the development of British housing policy in the past decade. In the third Article Hoe Lim of the Faculty …
Local perspectives on new process technology and employment
This article examines the introduction of new process technology into a local labour market in the late 1980s and relates variations in adoption rates to establishment characteristics. The authors highlight the contrasts in the employment outcomes and training requirements in adopting and non‐adopting establishments and find that ‘adopters' expect more changes in employment, more skills shortages and have a greater awareness of future training ne…
Introducing new process technology
Psychometric Properties of a Measure of Sense of Competence
A series of investigations was performed exploring the psychometric properties of Wagner and Morse's (1975) Sense of Competence Questionnaire (SCQ). Data were obtained from a total of 849 individuals constituting five different United States Air Force samples. Construct validation indicated that self-and supervisory ratings of competence converged on a common evaluation. SCQ ratings were significantly correlated with measures of skill and ability…
