Exposure assessment during paint spraying and drying using PTR-ToF-MS
Spraying is a common way to distribute occupational products, but it puts worker's health at risk by exposing them to potentially harmful particles and gases. The objective of this study is to use time-resolved measurements to gain an understanding of spray applications at the process level and to compare them to predictions of exposure models. We used proton transfer reaction time-of-flight mass spectrometry (PTR-ToF-MS) at 1-s time resolution t…
Cancellative discourse markers: A core/periphery approach
2 See Fraser (1997b) for an in-depth discussion of the definition of a discourse marker. 3 Although neither Whereas Quirk et al. and to a lesser extent Halliday and Hasan are more concerned with how markers function as sentence connectors, the notion of discourse marker is intended to capture how markers operate on the propositional, rhetorical and sequential structure of the discourse as a whole
Sentence-initial And and But in academic writing
Prescriptivists have long proscribed sentence-initial And (SIA), and sentence-initial But (SIB). However, SIA and SIB are increasingly used in newspapers and style guides have softened strictures against their use. Moreover, SIA and SIB are amongst the most frequently occurring sentence-initial connectives within their respective semantic groups of additives and contrastives. Given their use despite prohibitions, this paper examines the patterns …
Rethinking Utopia: Place, Power, Affect
Over five hundred years since it was named, utopia remains a vital concept for understanding and challenging the world(s) we inhabit, even in – or rather because of – the condition of ‘post-utopianism’ that supposedly permeates them. In Rethinking Utopia David M. Bell offers a diagnosis of the present through the lens of utopia and then, by rethinking the concept through engagement with utopian studies, a variety of ‘radical’ theories and the nee…
An empirical, integrated forest biomass monitoring system
The fate of live forest biomass is largely controlled by growth and disturbance processes, both natural and anthropogenic. Thus, biomass monitoring strategies must characterize both the biomass of the forests at a given point in time and the dynamic processes that change it. Here, we describe and test an empirical monitoring system designed to meet those needs. Our system uses a mix of field data, statistical modeling, remotely-sensed time-series…
Co-production: Towards a utopian approach
This article outlines how co-production might be understood as a utopian method, which both attends to and works against dominant inequalities. It suggests that it might be positioned ‘within, against, and beyond’ current configurations of power in academia and society more broadly. It develops this argument by drawing on recent research funded through the UK’s Connected Communities programme, led by the Arts and Humanities Research Council; and …
Rethinking Utopia: Place, Power, Affect
The Politics of Participatory Art
The two books reviewed in this article engage with ‘participatory art’, in which artists mobilise people as the central medium of their work. Grant Kester argues that such works have the potential to generate new communal forms that challenge neoliberal hegemony, while Claire Bishop argues that in dispensing with the negating praxis of the avant-garde they all too frequently end up reproducing its logics. The article suggests that if the binary t…
Occupation from below: Squatting within, against and beyond
Metropolitan Preoccupations begins its study of squatting in Berlin with an account of the ‘Free Republic of Barackia’, a short-lived squatter settlement in the south of the city in 1872. From here
Paying “Utopia” a Subversive Fidelity; or, An Affective Trip to Anarres
This article pays “subversive fidelity” to utopia by rethinking what might be meant by the “good,” “no,” and “place” and how they might be brought together in an ambiguous but productive consistency. Specifically, it does this by drawing on Deleuze's reading of Spinoza's ethics, Sara Ahmed's concept of the “affect alien,” and Doreen Massey's understanding of place. It then applies and develops the theoretical approach through a reading of Anarres…

Distinguishing Structural and Functional Models of Human Development: "A Response to "What Transits in an Identity Status Transition
In response to Jane Kroger's "What Transits in an Identity Status Transition?" (this issue), this article questions the usefulness of the concept of soft structural stages as a tool for understanding James Marcia's ego identity status model. The authors begin by distinguishing a variety of developmental models along a continuum, ranging from cognitively based structural stages to culturally based social age periods, with functional stage models h…

Naked as Nature Intended
This article explores the ways in which naturism articulates a set of relationships between the body and nature. We begin by sketching the histories of some Western naturist movements, tracing their lineage back to 19th-century life reform movements and through into inter-war reorientations of citizenship and morality. We consider the problematic of the naked body's relationship to the erotic (and specifically to the erotics of nature), drawing o…
