Effects of mindfulness practice on the emotional states of students in the classroom
Traditional methods of exploring classroom emotions usually rely on self-reported data gathered retrospectively. Using a single exploratory case study design with multimodal methods, namely, momentary self-report ( S*3 app ), physiological ( Empatica 4 skin conductance wristbands), and observational measures, we explored the effects of mindfulness practice on the emotional states of students in a secondary school classroom. Specifically, we measu…
Working behind the scenes
We present an historically informed case study of the Scotch Whisky Association (SWA), during the 1950s, and 1960s, to illustrate the fundamental role it played in protecting the Scotch whisky industry in its key export market, the US. We illuminate the relationship between the SWA and its eminent legal counsel in the US, Ansel Luxford, who shielded the SWA from a major dispute between US and Canadian distillers. Our study explores the following …
Exploring the emotions of disadvantaged adolescents in the classroom
In the present research, three phases were conducted to develop a real-time emotional measure (S 2* emotion application) to examine the emotional experiences and causes for those emotions in disadvantaged Australian adolescents. In the first phase, data were collected from 412 Year 10 students (aged 14–15 years) to understand their emotional experiences in the classroom. Second, the S 2* emotion application was developed and trialed based on the …
Mindful practice for teachers

Methods The mixed-methods study design included participant reflections collected throughout the study and self-report measures: Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), Positive Mindset Index (PMI), and Five Facets of Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ).

Teacher stress and burnout in Australia
Concerns regarding high rates of teacher stress and burnout are present globally. Yet there is limited current data regarding the severity of stress, or the role of intrapersonal and environmental factors in relation to teacher stress and burnout within the Australian context. The present study, conducted over an 18-month period, prior to the COVID pandemic, surveyed 749 Australian teachers to explore their experience of work-related stress and b…
Schoolwide Approaches for Promoting Social and Emotional Well-Being in Australian School Contexts
Purpose: The present research sought the views of 157 stakeholders (students, parents, teachers, and school executive members) in three Australian urban government high schools and departmental and management staff of the Department of Education to determine the current status of social and emotional well-being (SEW) in an Australian context. Research Methods: Using semistructured interviews, participants’ perspectives were explored and compared …
In their words
Teacher stress remains a consistently reported issue nationally and internationally in both the mainstream media and academic fora. Understanding the source/s of stress, however, remains complex given the interplay of external and internal factors that have the potential to shape teachers’ stress and resilience responses. This exploratory qualitative study sought to understand 74 teachers’ perceptions of the main contributors to stress in the wor…
Litigation and Lobbying in Support of the Marque
We examine the Scotch Whisky Association’s (SWA) role in protecting “Scotch whisky” between c. 1945 and c. 1990. Using new archival evidence, we demonstrate that the SWA intensively lobbied the UK government to achieve coordination between domestic and European regulations governing Scotch whisky and whisky. The SWA’s nonmarket activities were consonant with some trade associations but in other respects they were atypical. The SWA extended its ac…
Varieties of capitalism, competition policy and the UK alcoholic beverages industry
This article informs a key aspect of the business-government interface; the evolution of competition policy and how firms adapt to it. Drawing on an extensive portfolio of inquiries, what constitutes ‘the market’ and the boundaries of the firm within it is described through the experience of the UK alcoholic beverages industry. In situating competition policy in its historical socio-economic context, this study traces three overlapping eras; fami…

The Whitbread Umbrella
This article investigates a structural ownership model that is used to protect firms from unwelcome capital market intrusion: a multiple-share arrangement. It details the evolution of one of the United Kingdom’s most successful former family firms, Whitbread, in the post-World War II era. In investigating the formation and operation of the so-called Whitbread Umbrella, the study poses the question of whether it was a positive factor in long-term …
Vertical and financial ownership
Traditionally the UK brewing industry was vertically integrated with brewers owning and controlling pubs. This came to an abrupt end in the forced divestment of a large proportion of the major brewers' pub estates in the 1989 ‘Beer Orders’. The divested pubs spawned the independent pub companies. This study of regulatory policy and financial services interest in the UK brewing industry poses the question of whether the original industrial structu…
Application of Citizen Science Risk Communication Tools in a Vulnerable Urban Community
A public participatory geographical information systems (PPGIS) demographic, environmental, socioeconomic, health status portal was developed for the Stambaugh-Elwood (SE) community in Columbus, OH. We hypothesized that soil at SE residences would have metal concentrations above natural background levels. Three aims were developed that allowed testing of this hypothesis. Aim 1 focused on establishing partnerships between academia, state agencies …

Development and application of the CAT-RPM report for strengths-based case management of at-risk youth in schools
The Contextualised Assessment Tool for Risk and Protection Management (CAT-RPM) has been established as a valid and reliable tool for differentiating groups across age, sex and behaviour and assisting young people to find their strengths [Bower, J., A. Carroll, and A. Ashman. 2014 Bower, J., A. Carroll, and A. Ashman. 2014. “The Development and Validation of the Contextualised Assessment Tool for Risk and Protection Management (CAT-RPM).” Journal…
How Scottish & Newcastle Became the U.K.'s Largest Brewer
Firms engage in a multitude of interactions with the external environment, most critically with government and its regulatory agencies. Despite an extensive literature on “regulatory capture,” little attention has been paid to the interactions between merging firms and competition authorities. Yet the possibility of capture exists where there is a recurring series of merger investigations of one firm by the same authority. This analysis of the im…
