The Rise of Public Engagement in Japan and the UK
This paper juxtaposes major historical developments in public engagement in Japan and the UK to unsettle the idea that the UK experience of how “publics” have been accounted for in science policy might be taken as a common or representative story. In comparison to the UK and European moves “from deficit to dialogue,” recent events in Japan are much less well-known internationally, and do not follow the same pattern. Rather than being either “ahea…
Shared book reading to promote mental well-being among young people with and without Down syndrome
Background: With societal progress and a deepening understanding of Down syndrome (DS), research focus has shifted toward improving the quality of life and education for youth with DS. This study aims to determine the feasibility and estimate the preliminary effectiveness of a dyadic shared book reading program on the health-related quality of life of youth with DS (primary outcome), the mental wellbeing of university students (secondary outcome)…
The Soba Restaurant and the Oyster Bar
As STS researchers working closely with scientists and engineers, we have been invited into, created, reluctantly entered, and stumbled upon many kinds of spaces, some of which might be considered spaces for responsible research and innovation. Here we discuss a selection of these spaces, drawing on our work in synthetic biology in the UK and molecular robotics in Japan. They include a multidisciplinary workshop, a public engagement event, an art…
Utilising “wardrobe studies” to de-construct űber masculine, “bad-boy,” entrepreneurial identity
Purpose In this exploratory study, we examine the qualitative methodology of “Wardrobe Studies” as a mechanism through which to conduct a semiotic analysis of a genre of “Bad-Boy-Entrepreneurs” as an embodied, elite, entrepreneurial identity. Wardrobe studies are concerned with the analysis of clothing and artefacts which collectively form part of our wardrobe. This is important because entrepreneurial identity – and particularly an interest in i…
The PHEM-B toolbox of methods for incorporating the influences on Behaviour into Public Health Economic Models
This is the first attempt to rigorously and coherently propose methods to incorporate the influences on behaviour into health economic models of public health interventions. It may not always be feasible or necessary to model the influences on behaviour explicitly, but it is essential to develop an understanding of the key influences. Changing behaviour and maintaining that behaviour change could have different influences; thus, there could be be…
The long-term effect of the coronavirus pandemic on parkrun participation
The reduction in parkrun participation during the pandemic and following the reopening of events is likely to have negatively impacted wellbeing in would-be participants. Going forwards, policymakers must make the difficult trade-off between the long-term health and social implications of restricting outdoor physical activity events against the benefits associated with a reduction in infectious disease transmission
Nigeria–Ijebu
The attack launched from the British colony of Lagos against the capital of the Ijebu in May 1892 began the last phase in the long, often hesitant, expansion of that colony, opening the way to the rapid extension of British rule over the Yoruba country which soon became the Lagos Protectorate and in 1906 was merged with the former kingdom of Benin and territories to the east of the Niger in the Protectorate of Southern Nigeria. The British presen…
Centralization and integration of public health systems
Impact of Pluri-Lateral Free Trade Agreements on Innovation
Innovation has been identified as a critical indicator for an economy to succeed in the fourth industrial revolution. Historically, some members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations have been better known for violation of intellectual rights rather than their protection. However, this is changing as their economies develop and they have been better integrated into the global economy. Integration has been facilitated by their membership o…
Social capital-based mental health interventions for refugees
Promise and peril
Our study highlighted that stakeholder priorities and a limited understanding about public health systems influenced how reforms were implemented. Our findings support calls for modernized and inclusive governance, stable public health funding, and investment in the public health workforce, which may help inform future reforms
Addressing health inequities for children in immigrant families
What can psychologists do to address social determinants of health and promote health equity among America's approximately 20 million children in immigrant families (CIF)? This article identifies gaps in current research and argues for a stronger role for psychologists. Psychologists can advocate for and enact changes in institutional systems that contribute to inequities in social determinants of health and promote resources and services necessa…
The anatomy of ‘So-called Food-Fraud Scandals’ in the UK 1970–2018
The Pursuit of Happiness in the Founding Era
In The Pursuit of Happiness in the Founding Era: An Intellectual History, Carli N. Conklin tackles one of the enduring intellectual puzzles of the founding era: what did “pursuit of happiness” mean and how did it wind up in the Declaration of Independence? Conklin sees two schools of thought. In one, “pursuit of happiness” was synonymous with property in the Lockean formulation. In the other, which Conklin considers dominant, it was merely a clev…
Picking Up the Pieces
This paper examines the role of social capital on livelihood outcomes of households forcibly displaced by the Boko Haram insurgency in Northeast Nigeria. Drawing from in-depth interviews of 21 respondents and a cross-sectional survey of 810 household heads across 12 locations in Northeast Nigeria, the study finds that social capital provides a channel of critical psycho-social support for households. Further, the results of the structural-equatio…
A personal reflection on repositioning the masculinity entrepreneurship debate in the literature and in the entrepreneurship research community
Purpose Despite the healthy growth in studies and publications in recent years in relation to the expanding paradigm of gender and entrepreneurship, and notwithstanding the success of this very journal, from the perspective of the author, the field remains overly dominated by a focus on female and women's entrepreneurship. Conversely, there are few studies on masculinity and entrepreneurship and the role of men in shaping gendered entrepreneurshi…
Thailand
Thailand has been a State Party to the Convention Against Torture and other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (CAT) since 2007 and signed the International Convention for the Protection of all Persons from Enforced Disappearance (CED) in 2012. Despite this commitment, there is evidence that Thailand has violated both CAT and CED. Thailand has been discussing draft legislation since it was lodged in the House of Representatives i…
Urban Family Planning in Sub-Saharan Africa
The multi-sectoral nature of urban health is a particular challenge, which urban family planning in sub-Saharan Africa illustrates well. Rapid urbanisation, mainly due to natural population increase in cities rather than rural-urban migration, coincides with a large unmet urban need for contraception, especially in informal settlements. These two phenomena mean urban family planning merits more attention. To what extent are the family planning an…
Implementing an asset-based approach
This case study reports on a 5-year project which has been running in Hawkhill, a deprived area in central Scotland where violent crime was also of concern. It highlights the steps necessary to move from theory to implementation: the process and impact of change of a unique, innovative police/partnership policy within the framework of Scottish Policing. Through auto-ethnography it reports on utilising an asset-based approach for reducing offendin…
Socioeconomic inequalities in distance to and participation in a community-based running and walking activity
Over the past 10 years, geodesic distance to the nearest parkrun decreased from a mean of 34 km to 5 km. In 2010, there was equality between the least and most deprived areas but by 2017 the distance of the most deprived areas was 29% that of the least deprived. Participation was shown to have increased over the past 10 years which can be split into two distinct phases: from 2010 to 2013 participation increased super-linearly and inequality in pa…
Bridging the gaps sector to sector and research to policy
There is growing science and policy interest in multi-sectoral action, but bridging the gap between family planning and urban development is challenging. This paper analyses the experience of integrating these sectors in sub-Saharan Africa via building research capacity. Family-planning researchers were supported to link with urban-development actors, one goal being to generate lessons on the process of getting their research into the policy doma…
What can we do for part‐time nursing students during the Covid‐19 pandemic
In our Bachelor of Nursing programme (part-time), students are registered nurses working within various clinical and primary care settings. Because of the coronavrius disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, all face to face teaching has been suspended since early February and our epidemiology course has moved entirely to online teaching. We needed to address the challenges associated with the fact that the course is offered to final-year students who a…
Waterpipe smoking among university students in Hong Kong
WPS is the most common form of tobacco smoking among university students in Hong Kong, and characteristics unique to the population were identified. There is no legislation of relevant policies on WPS despite its concerning significance in public health among young people, therefore immediate action to monitor and control WPS is needed in Hong Kong

Investigating Variation in Replicability
Although replication is a central tenet of science, direct replications are rare in psychology. This research tested variation in the replicability of 13 classic and contemporary effects across 36 independent samples totaling 6,344 participants. In the aggregate, 10 effects replicated consistently. One effect – imagined contact reducing prejudice – showed weak support for replicability. And two effects – flag priming influencing conservatism and …
Participation in School-Based Extracurricular Activities and Adolescent Adjustment
This paper examines the association between participation in school-based extracurricular activities (ECAs) and adolescent adjustment (drinking, marijuana use, grades, academic attitudes and academic aspirations) among students from six high schools. Three major issues were addressed: the potential confounding of selective EGA participation by better adjusted students and measures of adjustment, variability in the strength of the association betw…
The dark side of the rural idyll
The Alafin in Exile
During the reign of Alafin Onigbogi, probably in the early sixteenth century, the Oyo capital, Oyo-ile, was abandoned to the Nupe from across the Niger. It was reoccupied only after an exile lasting some three-quarters of a century. During their exile the Alafin settled at several places in the marches of Borgu and Yorubaland, and finally founded a new capital at Oyo-Igboho. This essay, after referring to the oral traditions of the Yoruba on whic…
The Canoe in West African History
The canoe, carved and usually also burnt-out from a single tree trunk, played a part in the history of the coastal, lagoon and river-side peoples of West Africa similar in importance to that of the horse in the savannah states. It ranged in size from the small fishing canoe to craft over 80 ft. in length and capable of carrying, in calm waters, 100 men or more. Sails were often used, in addition to paddles and punt poles. The builders were specia…
Peace and palaver
International relations in pre-colonial West Africa were conducted in accordance with customary law, which exhibited broadly similar characteristics over a wide area. Trade and politics, linking the coast, the forest and the savannah, led to the development of diplomacy in the more centrally-organized states. Inter-African embassies enjoyed a degree of prestige and immunity comparable to that which protected European diplomacy, and a widely accep…
Commentaries and Rejoinder on
While direct replications such as the “Many Labs” project are extremely valuable in testing the reliability of published findings across laboratories, they reflect the common reliance in psychology on single vignettes or stimuli, which limits the scope of the conclusions that can be reached. New experimental tools and statistical techniques make it easier to routinely sample stimuli, and to appropriately treat them as random factors. We encourage…
The Lagos Consulate 1851 - 1861
Towards an Organizational Folklore of Policing
For police officers, much of the working day consists of telling stories about everyday policing and events. Although the study of narrative and storytelling in organizational contexts is an expanding area of research, the same cannot be said of the study of narrative and storytelling in a police context, which remains an under-researched, although not unexplored, subject of study. Using the work of management-narrative theorists such as David Bo…

The Lagos Consulate, 1851–1861
The British reduction of Lagos in 1851, their establishment of a semi-protectorate under the consuls, and the annexation of 1861 were due to a complex of causes, partly British, partly African: the movement to suppress the slave trade and to prevent its revival under the guise of contract labour; the encouragement of legitimate trade; the need to protect British and immigrant interests; missionary ambition; French rivalry; the rift in and subsequ…
Masculinity, doxa and the institutionalisation of entrepreneurial identity in the novel Cityboy
Purpose As a result of a plethora of scholarly articles by feminist scholars of entrepreneurship, it is now widely accepted that the notion of entrepreneurship is ideologically skewed towards masculine ideology. Although this body of work has been quietly acknowledged, it has not invoked a reply, or refutation, from male entrepreneurship scholars. Nor has it led to an increase in studies about the influence of masculinity on entrepreneurial behav…

Social Capital’s Role in Humanitarian Crises
The growing scale and persistence of humanitarian crises constitute a critical problem for nation-states, aid organizations and crisis-affected people. Many humanitarian responders continue to focus on material aid, providing essential supplies and services during these crises, while other actors restore physical infrastructures. We believe aid efforts are overlooking the pivotal nature of horizontal and vertical ties within and between communiti…
Assessing the contribution of the 'theory of matriarchy' to the entrepreneurship and family business literatures
Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to assess the contribution of "Matriarchy" to the entrepreneurship and family business literature. The literature on gendered aspects of entrepreneurship is expanding and maturing in its level of theoretical sophistication and subject coverage. At the same time, our nuanced understanding of how gender influences entrepreneurial action also expands, as does our appreciation of how men and women do entrepreneu…
Developing an organizational typology of criminals in the meat supply chain
Images, forms and presence outside and beyond the pink ghetto
Purpose – The purpose of this study is to consider entrepreneurial imagery that sheds light on differing and emerging patterns of female entrepreneurial identity which illustrate shifts in the locus of power that challenge masculine hegemony and power structures. As a concept, power has an image component, and shifts in power are often conveyed by subtle changes in the cultural semiotic. Globally, images of female-entrepreneurship are socially co…
Lugard and the Abeokuta Uprising
One is confronted here with strikingly different approaches-Gailey's, a tightly constructed, carefully-documented monograph, and Harrison's, a livelier, more impressionistic account based on contemporary interviews. In the end, Harrison's is the more impressive achievement. Gailey has written a work aimed at specialists and graduate students of Africa and imperialism; Harrison has produced a book for generalists interested in the human condition,…
Playing in the sandbox
For unrecognised states in the international system recognition of sovereign statehood is the ultimate goal. Not being ‘a state’ means being excluded from global networks. However, even in the most basic definitions and criteria for unrecognised states there is a period of relative autonomy accorded due to non-recognition. This is a period when political actors can use isolation to establish the state’s narrative, identity and structure. It is th…
Re‐storying and visualizing the changing entrepreneurial identities of Bill Gates and Richard Branson
The storytelling in textual and visual re‐constructions of Bill Gates and Richard Branson by their organizations produces entrepreneurial identities bound into particular social power–knowledge relations. Our purpose is to examine how these organizations, and their critics, mobilize storytelling in acts of re‐storying (enlivening) or re‐narrating (branding a monologic) practices using Internet technologies to invite viewers to frame the world of …
Yoruba Armament
A study of the weapons used by the armies is relevant to different aspects of Yoruba history, mainly military and political but also economic and even cultural. The article concerns those weapons which were in use before, as well as after, the general introduction of firearms into Yorubaland (which took place only between about 1820 and 1850). Oral and written tradition provides the background for the surviving weapons. Many of these weapons, or …
Bone density, breaking force and leg muscle mass as functions of weight in bipedal rats
Femur density, femur breaking force and muscle weight on the hind limbs of normal and bipedal rats have been measured. The bipeds had more muscle on the hindlimbs than controls. Increasing muscle mass was associated with increasing femur density and breaking force. It is concluded that weight bearing influences bone density and breaking force through muscle mass
Illegal activity in the UK halal (sheep) supply chain
Food supply chain theory and practice assumes that the processes involved are legal and value adding. In this paper, using examples from the UK halal (sheep) meat supply chain, we outline a value extracting value chain through a mixed methods qualitative approach consisting of face-to-face-interviews and a documentary research strategy underpinned by Narrative Inquiry. Building on previous theoretical work on Illegal Rural Enterprise, we present …
Function and Site
Brief description of the characteristics of Norwich's 214 pre-1700 houses is followed by an analysis of eight of the city's brick-built undercrofts. More than eighty domestic examples are known: it is suggested that they were built during the 15th century to provide level, fireproof foundations for timber-framed houses and that they were used for storage. The plans of two well-known buildings, the Bridewell and Strangers' Hall, are re-considered …

Event and Portent
Opening ParagraphExplanation, or the identification and assessment of the causes of events and situations, occupies the central place in nearly all historical writing in the present century. It is also the aspect of history which is most keenly debated by philosophers, and is the main issue today in the unending, wearisome, but seemingly inescapable controversy as to whether history belongs, or belongs more, with the sciences or with the humaniti…
