Improvements in beef cattle productivity can increase economy-wide activity and simultaneously reduce greenhouse gas emissions in Scotland
Cutting emissions from agriculture will be important in meeting emissions reduction targets. However, there are concerns that such outcomes might require reductions in the scale of agricultural activity, with negative impacts on agriculture reliant economies. A number of policies seek to improve the productivity of the agricultural sector, i.e. permitting increased output from a given set of inputs, but the impact of such policies on emissions or…
The use and misuse of regional data: Perspectives, challenges and policy implications from across the UK
This paper investigates the challenges faced when producing regional statistics for policy analysis and using regional data in policy debates. We consider the UK, where devolution, Brexit and ‘levelling up’ have placed a spotlight on regional data. However, the issues explored are of international relevance. Drawing on perspectives from analysts in UK government departments and the devolved administrations, we analyse: the difficulties constructi…
The impact of using an income supplement to meet child poverty targets: Evidence from Scotland
In 2017 the Scottish Government passed the Child Poverty (Scotland) Act with the commitment to significantly reduce the relative child poverty rate from the current prevailing level of around 25% to 10% by 2030/31. In response, the government introduced the Scottish Child Payment (SCP) that provides a direct transfer to households at a fixed rate per eligible child - currently £25 per week. In this paper we explore, using a micro to macro modelli…
Resource-use intensity and the labour market: More for less
Devolved fiscal powers, increased competitiveness and ‘levelling up’: A simulation approach
The UK levelling up agenda includes a commitment to devolution, but there has been little attempt to model the operation of possible accompanying regional tax powers. We use computable general equilibrium simulations to analyse the local impacts of regional tax cuts. These reduce production costs, thereby stimulating regional economic activity. But the financing of any subsequent deficit and the operation of the regional labour market determines …
Economic impacts of Covid-19 on inbound and domestic tourism
COVID-19 has led to an unprecedented disruption in tourism spending. This has propagated through the whole economy, however the scale of these system-wide consequences can be hard to quantify. We calculate direct reductions in spending across domestic and inbound tourism categories and then use a computable general equilibrium model to quantify their economic impacts. The results – illustrated using a model for Scotland and focusing on 2021 - dem…
Universal Basic Income as an instrument of regional development policy: A micro–macroeconomic analysis for Scotland
Regional development now encompasses inclusive growth so that welfare spending becomes a potentially important policy for regions with devolved powers. Universal Basic Income (UBI), an unconditional payment to all citizens, has been gaining traction, including internationally. We provide a system-wide analysis of a region-specific UBI for Scotland on the level and distribution of regional activity. Using both micro- and macroeconomic models, we f…
Determinants of variability in motor performance in middle childhood: A cross-sectional study of balance and motor co-ordination skills
The current study provides preliminary evidence of motor performance from a typically developing rural population within an age range that has not been previously studied. As well as being culturally appropriate, the developed tests were reliable, valid and sensitive to biological and environmental correlates. Further, the use of composite scores seems to strengthen the magnitude of differences seen among groups
Help or Harm: Symbolic violence, secondary trauma and the impact of press coverage on a community
This paper describes the impact of extensive journalistic coverage on a small community in Quebec that experienced the murder of a teenage girl by a local man. Press coverage of the case was intense, as journalists converged on the small rural town to cover the story and the subsequent arrest of the suspect and his parents. In presenting the voices of both local residents and a journalist, this paper illuminates the secondary trauma and symbolic …
Ethics Review for Qualitative Inquiry: Adopting a Values-Based, Facilitative Approach
In many institutions, the institutional review board/research ethics board (IRB/REB) uses the traditional audit approach that emerged from the biomedical community (e.g., Nuremburg Code, Belmont Report) to review the ethical acceptability of research using humans as participants. This approach is guided by participant protection and risk management concerns. This article discusses the approach to ethics review currently being adopted at a large C…

Emergent Issues When Researching Trauma: A Confessional Tale
This article examines the impact of conducting narrative research focusing on trauma and healing. It is told through three voices: the study participants who experienced the trauma, the researcher who shared her personal experiences conducting this research, and an academic colleague who acted as a reflective echo making sense of and normalizing the researcher's experience. Issues explored in the article include: harmonic resonance between the st…
Psychological state and psychological strain in relation to infertility
The purpose of the study was to explore the relationship between psychological state and perceived strain in relation to fertility problems. Couples presenting at an infertility clinic completed, on two occasions seven months apart, a series of standardized measures to assess psychopathology. In addition, they completed a weekly diary rating their mood state or distress/strain over a period of 22 weeks, during which investigations and treatment w…
The emergence of a tool-using skill in infancy
The use of a spoon for eating is one of the first tool-using skills acquired by most infants. The article provides a description and analysis of how the skill is built during the second year of life. A number of behavior categories were identified and measures were developed from a pilot study on a group of infants aged 10-58 months. Two groups of infants, aged 11 and 17 months, respectively, when the study began, were observed at monthly interva…
Psychological aspects of infertility
It has often been claimed that psychological problems accompany infertility among some couples attending infertility clinics. Some authors have suggested that psychological factors may be a primary cause of infertility, others have suggested that the state of infertility itself can provoke psychological symptoms. The importance of psychological counselling for involuntarily childless couples has also been noted. This paper, which reviews studies …

Language use, role and context in a five-year-old
To explore the relationship of language use and speech adaptation to role and context the spontaneous speech of a boy aged 5; 6 was recorded in three different situations: playing alone, playing with a friend of the same age, and playing with his mother. Several analyses were made of the speech transcripts to examine the relationship between context and language use. The nature of play episodes was also investigated. The findings suggest that rol…
Social and aggressive behaviour in preschool children as a function of crowding
Discrimination by Newborns of the Intensity, Frequency and Temporal Characteristics of Auditory Stimuli
The ability of 3‐ to 5‐day‐old neonates to discriminate between auditory stimuli, in terms of each of the dimensions of intensity, pitch and time, was studied using heart‐rate responses in a habituation paradigm. For each of the dimensions a survey of the literature failed to provide results which could be used as the basis for later work involving auditory patterns. Further analysis of an earlier experiment (Stratton, 1970 a ) involving stimuli …
Memory Effects in Cross‐modal Matching
Predictions based on the model advanced by Connolly & Jones (1970) regarding the storage systems involved in cross‐modality matching tasks were examined. Adult subjects made intra‐modal and cross‐modal matches to a range of standard stimuli under three conditions: zero delay between presentation of standard and subject producing his match, interpolation of 10‐sec. unfilled interval and interpolation of 10‐sec. filled interval. The results confirm…
A Developmental Study of Afferent‐reafferent Integration
Three groups of children, mean ages 5 yr. 4 mth., 8 yr. 3 mth., 11 yr. 1 mth., and a group of adults performed intra‐modal and cross‐modal matching tasks. The stimuli used were straight lines presented either visually or kinaesthetically. The results obtained were analysed in terms of absolute errors and variances in the two intra‐modal and two cross‐modal conditions. Performance on the tasks improved with increasing age. Intra‐modal matching was…
Report on a Behavioural Selection Experiment
The results from the second phase of a behavioural selection experiment designed to produce active and inactive strains of Drosophila are reported. Data show marked phenotypic differences have been produced as a result of the selection. Relaxing selection after 94 generations did not result in experimental populations drifting back to the control level; thus considerable inbreeding has taken place
Imprinting and the Following Response as a Function of Amount of Training in Domestic Chicks
Two groups of domestic chicks were given 30 min. training with a moving stimulus approximately 14 hr. post hatch. Following behaviour was measured at 24‐hourly intervals over 7 days, one group having a further 30 min. training each day. No differences in the amount of following was found between the groups though they both showed a steady decline in following over the 7 days of testing. Approach and free field responses were measured subsequently…
Developmental Changes in Some Components of a Motor Skill
Sixty children, aged 6, 8 and 10 yr., performed a target task 12 times. The results were analysed in terms of speed, accuracy and scatter. In each of the three age‐groups the girls performed significantly faster than the boys. Older children were faster than younger ones. No reliable age or sex differences were found in the accuracy component. Speed improved with practice, accuracy did not. The effect of practice was different in the 6 yr. group …
Sigrid Undset and the Modern Apostolate
On the feast of Corpus Christi, 1854, a young man, an artist, stood in the streets of Dusseldorf waiting for the procession of the Blessed Sacrament to pass by. He was not there from any religious motive; indeed, he looked with a certain supercilious air upon the people around him, waiting so silently for their Lord to pass by. It was only inspiration for a painting that he sought, attracted by the pageantry, the rich colours, the myriad candles …
