Healthy Homes
This article examines Healthy Homes, a program intended to initiate a new approach to housing repairs and maintenance in remote communities in the Northern Territory of Australia. It argues that while the evidence for associations between poor housing and poor health outcomes is clear, greater attention should be paid to the implementation of health-focused housing interventions. Healthy Homes was examined through interviews with public servants,…
Cultural variation in hiring people with disabilities
Purpose The goal of this study is to propose and test a model of the effect of the socio-cultural context on the disability inclusion climate of organizations. The model has implications of hiring people with disabilities. Design/methodology/approach To test the model, we conducted a cross-sectional study across four countries with very different socio-cultural contexts. Data were gathered from 266 managers with hiring responsibilities in Canada,…

The Bloomsbury Reader in Christian-Muslim Relations, 600–1500
This Reader brings together nearly 80 extracts from the major works left by Christians and Muslims that reflect their reciprocal knowledge and attitudes. It spans the period from the early 7th century, when Islam originated, to 1500. The general introduction provides a historical and geographical summary of Christian-Muslim encounters in the period and a short account of the religious, intellectual and social circumstances in which encounters too…
Examining the role of the occupational safety and health professional in supporting the control of the risks of multiple psychosocial stressors generated during the Covid-19 pandemic
COVID-19 created challenges at work with increased risks of multiple interrelated psychosocial stressors, surfacing as a comorbidity of COVID-19. The roles of many Occupational Safety and Health Practitioners (OSHPs) included helping to recognise, prevent and mitigate these risks, especially for essential and front-line workers. The rationale for this study was to investigate potential competency gaps amongst OSHPs on their lack of priority or in…
Examining the Relationship Between Sleep-Related Infant Deaths and Social Determinants of Health in Urban Communities
In 2017, sleep-related infant deaths (SRID) accounted for about 3600 deaths in the USA. The SRID rate for African American infants (186. 41 per 100,000 live births) is more than twice that of Caucasian American infants (85. 43 per 100,000 live births) (Centers for Disease and Prevention, July 2020). PURPOSE: The purpose of this article is to develop a case for considering the relationship between racial disparities in SRID and social determinants…
The Brighton Homeless Bill of Rights
‘Homelessness’ in the UK, currently at record levels, is the focus of an ever-expanding mass of law, policy, procedures, practices, and institutions and enterprises of all sorts, from government, local government, national and local NGOs. All are implicated in the drive to keep houseless people in their place, obedient, out of sight, receiving assistance in the ‘appropriate’ way. This contribution is an account of a successful activist campaign t…
Archival silences
Archival Silences demonstrates emphatically that archival absences exist all over the globe. The book questions whether benign ‘silence’ is an appropriate label for the variety of destructions, concealment and absences that can be identified within archival collections. Including contributions from archivists and scholars working around the world, this truly international collection examines archives in Australia, Brazil, Denmark, England, India,…
Perceptions, experiences and opportunities for occupational safety and health professionals arising out of the Covid-19 Pandemic
This study explored perceptions, experiences and opportunities for the occupational safety and health professional (OSHP) as a result of COVID-19. Using qualitative methods, interviews took place with OSHPs in two organisations to understand how their role developed during the pandemic. Additionally, seven focus groups were organised and met virtually, using the Zoom platform, each addressing a different topic identified by the researchers. Parti…
The Motives for and Consequences of the Introduction of Typewriters and Word Processing in the British Civil Service
Until the late nineteenth century the British Civil Service relied on handwritten documents which were hand copied by armies of clerks and filed. The next stage was that handwritten documents were copied by armies of typists and then filed. The third stage was that documents were, largely, typed by their authors and distributed via email or other means, at which point the system of filing seems to have broken down. The two major inflection points…

Fun, Taste, & Games
Reclaiming fun as a meaningful concept for understanding games and play. “Fun” is somewhat ambiguous. If something is fun, is it pleasant? Entertaining? Silly? A way to trick students into learning? Fun also has baggage—it seems inconsequential, embarrassing, child's play. In Fun, Taste, & Games, John Sharp and David Thomas reclaim fun as a productive and meaningful tool for understanding and appreciating play and games. They position fun at the …

Routledge Handbook on Christian–Muslim Relations
The matter of Christian–Muslim relations cannot be ignored these days. While the term itself may not appear all that often, relations between the two faiths and their reciprocal perceptions are undeniable influences behind many current conflicts, declarations of mutual recognition and peace negotiations, not to mention the brooding hatred of religious extremists. Since 9/11, relations between the two faiths have, in one form or another, hardly be…

AIMS: To identify barriers and enablers to effective diabetes self-management experienced by people with SMI and type 2 diabetes. METHOD: Qualitative methodology using semi-structured interviews was…
On the Margins
The Registan Desert in southern Afghanistan has, like most deserts, traditionally been regarded as a barren, hostile space, devoid of human occupation other than occasional nomad campsites and an isolated 11th-century a.d. fortress. Detailed analysis of a strip of high resolution satellite imagery available through Google Earth and stretching into the Registan has revealed the presence of over 800 hitherto unrecorded archaeological sites. Many of…

Whatever Happened to Planning
The Edge of the City
The paper is a reflection upon the parallel but largely unconnected modes of study of the rural-urban fringe, which had their origins in the 1930s, each stemming from a different country and owing their development to quite separate academic perspectives. The work of urban morphologists is set alongside that of urban fringe researchers and land-use planners to demonstrate the lack of appreciation of the importance of cognate, but different resear…

London's Green Belt
Green belts have a long, though intermittent, history. Towns and cities with inviola le rural hinterlands were d scr bed in the Old estame t and in the works of the classical writers. Later authors, such as Sir Thomas More, Robert Owen and Ebenezer Howard, contributed to the development of the idea that town and country should be functionally related but physically distinct (Osborn, 1946; but see also Sharpe, 1932). London's green belt is not of …

Pressurised pastoralism in South Gobi, Mongolia
The desert‐steppe region of southern Mongolia is susceptible to drought and extreme winter weather ( dzud ) that in combination form Mongolia’s worst natural hazard. Low precipitation and high climatic variability in this dryland environment impact the landscape and affect pastoralism, the dominant rural lifestyle. Using the Standardised Precipitation Index (SPI), this paper identifies drought occurrence in South Gobi Province, Mongolia. It then …

The nature of publishing and assessment in Geography and Environmental Studies
We present a summary of the kinds of outputs submitted to the Geography and Environmental Studies sub‐panel (H‐32) for the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise (RAE), and examine the relationships between the peer assessment of research quality that the RAE process has typified, and alternative modes of assessment based on bibliometrics. This comparison is effected using (in aggregate form) some of the results from the RAE, together with citation da…

From the moat to the Murray
This paper presents two current approaches to teaching practical aspects of archaeology at La Trobe University in Melbourne, Australia. One makes use of a simulated site constructed on the university campus where senior undergraduates are introduced to the complexities of excavation and project management from planning through to publication in a ‘safe’, artificial environment. The second is a field school for fourth year Honours students where t…
Rewarding the upland poor for saving the commons? Evidence from Southeast Asia
The Southeast Asian uplands provide livelihood opportunities for more than 100 million people. Many of these are poor smallholder farmers who are economically, socially and politically marginalized, suffer from tenure insecurity and have few options other than drawing on the uplands' natural resources to sustain their living. Forest conversion, inappropriate land use practices and timber logging by a variety of actors have caused widespread resou…
Community fencing in open rangelands
This article examines the cross‐cutting debates of empowerment, vulnerability, sustainability and livelihoods within the local and global contexts relevant to the people of Okonyoka, a settlement of less than 150 people situated in the heart of Eastern Namibia's southern communal lands. Here, people are adapting their livelihoods flexibly in response to both environmental natural resource variability and to changes in social institutions and land…
The Fezzan Project 1998
The Fezzan Project is investigating the last 10,000 years of human settlement, landscape evolution and climatic change in the Germa region in southern Libya. The second season in February–March 1998 comprised interdisciplinary research in archaeology and geography, centred around excavation and survey work carried out at the site of Old Germa. To date, three phases of mud brick buildings have been partially explored. In addition, wider geomorphol…

When the Grass Is Gone
This book discusses some of the consequences of development interventions for ordinary people, and some of their environmental concomitants. The contributors all raise new questions of how to redeem the people who live in the arid lands from their present predicament and how to enable them to manage their own future. Many of the insights have been sharpened by ideas well-known to peasants and pastoralists, but seldom discussed among policymakers

Needs for Structure, Tolerance of Ambiguity and Dogmatism in Adolescents
Measures of structure needs, ambiguity tolerance, and dogmatism were given to a sample of urban adolescents in British Columbia. Structure need scores were significantly and negatively correlated with scores of ambiguity tolerance and significantly and positively correlated with scores of dogmatism ( rs from .32 to –.45). Dogmatism and ambiguity tolerance scores were negatively correlated, as anticipated from MacDonald's work (1970). The findings…
