Toward a definition of Essential Mountain Climate Variables
The numerous processes implicated in the rapid and profound climate-driven changes that are underway across the world's mountains must be well monitored, understood, and - as far as possible - accurately projected. However, not only are the available environmental data upon which such activities hinge often severely limited, but interdisciplinary consensus regarding which variables should be considered observation priorities also remains elusive.…
Is publicly funded criminal defence sustainable? Legal aid cuts, morale, retention and recruitment in the English criminal law professions
This paper examines how continued reductions in fee levels for criminal legal aid work affect recruitment and retention in the English publicly funded criminal defence profession. Data from 29 qualitative interviews with English defence solicitors and barristers are analysed to explore the impact of these reductions on recruitment of new lawyers and retention of current lawyers. On the basis of these findings, also building on research conducted …
The Way in Which Fee Reductions Influence Legal Aid Criminal Defence Lawyer Work
This article examines how fee reductions influence criminal defence lawyers’ work. Data from 29 qualitative interviews with English defence solicitors and barristers are analysed in order to understand the way in which cuts to fees paid by government for criminal legal aid work can operate to influence criminal defence lawyers’ working practices. I use game theory and Bourdieu's concepts of habitus and field to build a theoretical construct illus…
Individual privacy rights with respect to services such as Google Street View
For a person to squeeze his fingers is legal. For a person to face towards another person is legal. For a person to sight down the barrel of a gun is legal. Yet, for that same person to do all three of these things at once is very illegal. Although Google Street View, or GSV for short, and similar services may be comprised of previously accepted functions---operation of an automobile, photography, internet publishing, mapmaking, advertising, etc.…
Regression Strategies for Analyzing the Study and Pharmacological Treatment of Sexual Response
As the study of human sexual response becomes increasingly complex to meet the demands of this interdisciplinary field, the need for appropriate analytical tools has grown as well. In this review, we attempt to familiarize sexologists with the wide range of applications of regression analysis to the study of human sexual response. To this end, a typical experiment in human sexual response is described, and the basic regression model for the exper…
Using a Regression Approach to Study the Influence of Male Fetuses on the Genital Morphology of Neonatal Female Rats
Among newborn female rats considerable variability is found in genital morphology (e.g., anogenital distance, AGD). Presumably, such differences are related to prenatal androgen exposure, with greater exposure resulting in larger AGD's and thus in a trend toward masculinization. The source of prenatal androgen in female fetuses is unclear, but a role for male uterine mates has been implicated. The present study investigated the effect of a number…
