Who wagers on horse races? A large-scale investigation into the socioeconomic background of online horse bettors in the Finnish market
This paper presents a large-scale investigation into how socioeconomic background predicts participation and level of engagement in the Finnish online horse betting market. Prior studies have mostly relied on self-report surveys or area-based proxies to examine correlations between demographic variables and gambling, which makes their results noisy. We add to this literature by using actual market data on gambling behavior and administrative regi…
Standardizing the goal net
Hosted by Italy, the 1980 UEFA European Championships marked the beginning of a period of regulation, standardization, harmonization, and commercial transformation for the tournament. This process included the goal net, the history of which as a recognizably differentiated stadium fixture effectively ended in the post-1980 period, when a universal style of goal net began replacing local styles at top stadia across Europe. This commentary argues t…
Gambling and wellbeing
Gambling is associated with both enjoyment and harm, yet conventional prevalence measures may understate its wider consequences. Subjective wellbeing data offer a broader lens for understanding how gambling relates to individual welfare. Using nationally representative data from the Health Survey for England, we analyse wellbeing across the gambling risk spectrum. Individuals classified as problem gamblers report markedly lower wellbeing than non…
These sporting lives
This article introduces the concept of the ‘author-athlete’ as a mechanism for examining the sporting narratives produced by authors who have experienced high level sport. This concept is examined through the careers of David Storey and Barry Hines, two authors from Yorkshire who were prominent in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s and who turned to writing after careers in Rugby League and football respectively. The article draws on archival material al…
Museum pedagogy and assessment strategies
Background and Purpose: The role of museums has increasingly evolved from artifact repositories to educational spaces, promoting meaningful and active learning engagement. Despite museums’ established role in supporting school curricula, there remains limited studies exploring museum educators’ instructional and assessment practices. This study addresses this gap by examining the pedagogical approaches and assessment strategies employed by museum…
Comparing Socio-Demographics and HIV Testing and Prevention Outcomes Between Low-Income HIV-Negative Heterosexually Active Black Women and Men with Health Insurance
Writing the British New Wave
This article dislodges the assumptions of authorial cohesiveness and centrality that have defined the scholarly and critical reception of the New Wave and suggests ways of reframing our understanding of British realism and the collaborative labours that underpin it. It does so through consideration of This Sporting Life, the adaptation of David Storey’s 1960 novel of the same name, which concerns the rise and fall of miner and rugby league player…

Past-Year HIV Testing, Current Antiretroviral Therapy Use, and Participation in Services for People Who Inject Drugs
Cartography and Geomedia in Pragmatic Dimensions
This article summarizes the Special Issue of Cartography and Geomedia. Here, Cartography and Geomedia presents a view of cartography as a combination of technology, science, and art, with a focus on the development of geomedia in a geomatic and design-based context. Individual considerations are presented according to the following topics: efficiency of mapping techniques; historical cartographic works in a geomedial context; cartographic pragmat…
The influence of schooling on performance in chess and at the Olympics
At the macro-level, it is hard to test the hypothesis that increased schooling in a country will raise labour productivity but sectoral analyses may be tractable. In sports, output is homogenous in that countries’ achievements are measurable in the same way. We examine country performances at the Chess Olympiad and the Olympic Games, contrasting tournaments where players in the first use only their minds but most in the second supply substantial …

Does IQ predict engagement with skill‐based gambling? Large‐scale evidence from horserace betting
We examine how measured intelligence, referred to as IQ, predicts a consumer's decisions on whether to participate in online horse wagering, how much to spend on those bets, and which horserace betting products to consume. We combine three individual‐level archival data sets from Finland, including all online horse bets during a 1‐year period from the state‐sanctioned monopoly operator, the Finnish Defence Forces' IQ test scores from male conscri…

Barry Hines’s palimpsestic city
This article examines a range of Barry Hines’s works set in Sheffield to argue for the city’s palimpsestic function, in relation to its spatial and temporal identity and broader symbolic role. Throughout, we will draw on sources including material from Hines’s archive, held at the University of Sheffield, and that of his long-term collaborator Ken Loach, from London’s BFI, to reveal the layered nature of the image of the city in three of his film…
Modern Cartographic Forms of Expression
This article summarizes the Special Issue of “Multimedia Cartography”. We present three main research fields in which multimedia cartography and the study of the effectiveness of multimedia maps are currently taking place. In each of these fields, we describe how published research is embedded in the broader context of map design and user studies. The research refers to contemporary technological trends such as web HTML5 standards, virtual realit…
Viewing I, Daniel Blake in the English Regions
This article examines focus group responses to Ken Loach's I, Daniel Blake (2016). Situated in four English regions (North East, North West, South West and Yorkshire and Humber), the focus groups were structured around a process of film elicitation that gathered a set of plural and richly textured responses to the film. Focusing on the participants’ understanding of realism within the film, the article complements existing textual analyses of rea…

Erasing Diversity
This article is focused on the 2017 BBC drama, The Moorside. Over two episodes, it revisits the events surrounding the ‘disappearance’ of Shannon Matthews, a nine-year-old schoolgirl from Dewsbury in West Yorkshire, with the drama culminating in the arrest of Shannon's mother, Karen, on charges of child neglect and perverting the course of justice. We identify the events depicted in The Moorside and, in particular, the media's framing of them, as…
Evaluation of Rapid Testing Algorithms for Venue-based Anonymous HIV Testing among Non-HIV-Positive Men Who Have Sex with Men, National HIV Behavioral Surveillance (NHBS), 2017
HIV rapid testing algorithms (RTAs) using any two orthogonal rapid tests (RTs) allow for on-site confirmation of infection. RTs vary in performance characteristics therefore the selection of RTs in an algorithm may affect identification of infection, particularly if acute. National HIV Behavioral Surveillance (NHBS) assessed RTAs among men who have sex with men recruited using anonymous venue-based sampling. Different algorithms were evaluated am…
Racial/Ethnic Disparities in HIV Preexposure Prophylaxis Among Men Who Have Sex with Men — 23 Urban Areas, 2017
National Gay Men's HIV/AIDS Awareness Day, September 27, directs attention to the impact of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) on gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (MSM). In 2017, MSM accounted for 67% of new diagnoses of HIV infection, and MSM who inject drugs an additional 3% (1).
Changes in HIV Preexposure Prophylaxis Awareness and Use Among Men Who Have Sex with Men — 20 Urban Areas, 2014 and 2017
Human Services proposed a strategic initiative to end the human immunodeficiency (HIV) epidemic in the United States by reducing new HIV infections by 90% during 2020-2030* (1). Phase 1 of the Ending the HIV Epidemic initiative focuses on Washington, DC; San Juan, Puerto Rico; and 48 counties where the majority of new diagnoses of HIV infection in 2016 and 2017 were concentrated and on seven states with a disproportionate occurrence of HIV in rur…
Using mixed-methods, a data model and a computational ontology in film audience research
This paper discusses a methodology that seeks to address one of the challenges in working with a range of data in mixed-methods audience research, which is how to sort, order and categorise different data so that they can be systematically combined and interrogated. The methodology was developed as part of the “Beyond the Multiplex: audiences for specialised films in English regions” (BtM) project. This project required a mixed methods approach u…

Social Class and Television Drama in Contemporary Britain
Class has always been at the heart of the television crime drama. Whether it is the post-war paternalism of Dixon of Dock Green (1955 – 1976), the harsh social realism of The Sweeney (1975-1978), or the almost mythical evocations of Britain in Heartbeat (1992 – 2010) and Midsomer Murders (1997- present), class and crime have always been seen as being inextricably linked. Since the 1990s, the British crime drama has been influenced by successive w…
Outcome Uncertainty and the Couch Potato Audience
Previous studies of attendance demand for professional team sports have failed to yield clear‐cut findings on the importance of outcome uncertainty to consumers. But potentially fewer problems should arise in examining the link between outcome uncertainty and demand in the television market for team sports, which of the case of English Premier League football is in fact a more important component in total club revenue. This study models both the …

An Analysis of House Price Differentials between English Regions
FORREST D. (1991) An analysis of house price differentials between English regions, Reg. Studies 25, 231–238. On the basis of data from a sample of 13,963 transactions in October 1985, house price differentials between the South East and the other eight English planning regions were calculated. The paper reports region-specific hedonic price equations and uses them to estimate what proportion of the price differential between each region and the …
The Sensitivity of Regional Unemployment Rates to the National Trade Cycle
FORREST D. and Naisbitt B. (1988) The sensitivity of regional unemployment rates to the national trade cycle, Reg. Studies 22, 149–153. This paper provides recent estimates for the UK of a model of regional unemployment rate variability due to Thirlwall. The principal findings are that regional industrial structure has continued to play a major role in determining regional unemployment variability, and that the pattern of industrial variability a…
The Virtual Placement
Work placements are a well-established part of the curricula of many geographical sciences, as are opportunities for online learning. Whilst many aspects of the learning experience for undergraduates have been given an online makeover the placement has remained a 'real' experience. This paper considers the potential value of an online placement and outlines pedagogical and technical aspects of the e-MapScholar Virtual Placement. Findings from eva…

PL Voice Leading and the Uncanny in Pop Music
Chromatic, major-third root movement comprises a special class of triadic progression. The contrary motion of half steps, described as PL voice leading, produces a perceptual paradox that simultaneously destroys any sense of background diatonic collection and forces irreconcilable interpretations of consonance and dissonance. Richard Cohn, Richard Taruskin, Matthew Bribitzer-Stull, and Scott Murphy identify examples from 19th-century music and fi…

A Spatial Cross–Sectional Analysis of Elasticity of Demand for Soccer
Several studies estimate the demand for watching English professional football (soccer) as highly inelastic, a puzzling result given that clubs appear to possess a degree of monopoly power. We discuss weaknesses in earlier studies and offer an alternative method of assessing elasticity based on travel costs of spectators living different distances from the grounds. We find that elasticity varies across the 20 senior clubs for which data were avai…

Developing Rules for Map Design
Increasingly, maps are being produced with the aid of desktop mapping systems and GIS by users unfamiliar with cartographic design principles. In order to assist with producing satisfactory maps, it is essential that cartographic knowledge be built into such systems. In the present paper, the need for such "intelligent" systems is explored and a comprehensive functional specification for a cartographic design expert system is presented. The speci…
Geographic Information
During the development of a cartographic-design expert system, it became apparent that a rigorous classification of the data to be mapped was required. The often-used general classes of points, lines, and areas, and nominal, ordinal, interval, and ratio measurement levels were found to be inadequate for the task. While these provide a useful starting point, detailed examination of the nature and classification of phenomena, spatial, and attribute…

Gambling Policy in the European Union
The paper reviews the case for special taxes on gambling services from a traditional public-finance perspective. Evidence suggests that high taxes are likely to hurt recreational consumers badly while not necessarily mitigating problem play. Taxes on gambling are also shown to be regressive, particularly when considered in combination with alcohol and tobacco duties. Finally the paper discusses the feasibility of taxing gambling when there is rea…

This study examines the influences of the Javanese batik sarong design as embedded in design Malaysian motifs batik sarongs. Several batik sarongs samples were photographed in order to trace and categorize the range of design motifs, which were mostly gathered from museums, galleries, personal collections and batik makers in Malaysia. These were investigated with regard to the layout of batik sarongs and design motifs that show different features…
The Football Pools
In principle, the term football pools could be applied to any pari-mutuel wagering concerning the outcomes, or any other aspects, of football (soccer) matches. However, it has long been used more specifically to refer to long-odds, high-prize gambling games where entitlement to a share of the jackpot is linked to football results. Long odds are inherent in the product and are achieved by requiring players to match their guesses or forecasts with …
The Efficiency Of Lottery Markets
This chapter analyzes the degree to which lottery players demonstrate rational behavior and how they use available information to make decisions about participation and level of play. Overall, players of lotto games act as if they understand the rules of the game and appropriately use relevant information about the games. Exceptions to efficiency are found, but these inefficiencies cannot be easily exploited by bettors.
