A phase 1 study of a second experience with Group Retreat Psilocybin Therapy for partial responders after a first experience
Introduction: Psilocybin therapy has demonstrated efficacy for cancer-related anxiety and depression, but resource-intensive individual treatment models raise important questions for psychedelic public health about equitable access and scalability. In our prior Phase 1/2 study of group retreat psilocybin therapy for patients with metastatic cancer, we observed partial responders who did not achieve full therapeutic benefit. No published research …
Health, Social and Recidivism Outcomes Among People Who Have Been Incarcerated in New South Wales, Australia
“Practicing Self-Care on a Highway in the Middle of Nowhere”
This article examines the way in which film-maker Ashley McKenzie depicts changes in Cape Breton’s landscape and its economic and social fabric. McKenzie’s films, Werewolf (2016) and Queen’s of the Qing Dynasty (2022), give us a vocabulary for understanding the island in the cost of living era: they move our gaze to Cape Breton’s experience of opioid addiction; a collapsing mental health system; an influx of international students who McKenzie de…
An Odd Habit
The issues around the wearing of academic hoods ‘in quire’ have been dealt with thoroughly by the late Nicholas Groves, whose paper in Transactions of the Burgon Society considers history, practice, canon law and common misconceptions around the use of the hood. While focused primarily on musicians, it also covers the requirements and traditional use of the hood by clergy, but not specifically by bishops. In Theological Colleges: Their Hoods and …

The Pale Death
In April of 1915, the German-Jewish chemist Fritz Haber supervised the first deployment of industrialized chemical weapons against French colonial troops. The uncertain nature of the attack, both in its execution and outcome, led many German military men to question the controllability of poison gas. Over the next three decades, Germans would continue this line of inquiry, as aero-chemical attacks appeared increasingly imminent. This article narr…

Mission impossible? Research praxis and activist interventions in New Zealand media policy
Over the last two decades, public media arrangements in many countries have been eroded by unsympathetic governments cutting subsidies/license fees or, in some cases, actively dismantling their institutional arrangements. The proliferation of online/mobile/interactive media has legitimated a view among some policy-makers and vested interests within the private media sector that public service provisions are an anachronism in the digital media eco…
Getting the economic context right
World War I has become the “go-to” analogy for understanding the contemporary security dynamic in East Asia, especially as it concerns US-China relations and the possibility of war. However, this analogy fails to account for the fundamental changes in economic flows in the current environment, specifically the growth and proliferation of foreign direct investment (FDI). Capital flows were primarily portfolio investments in 1914, while FDI flowed …
“Ready to do battle with the mountain”
This article examines the way in which Coal, a Thom Beers reality television program that aired for ten episodes on Spike TV in 2011, depicts ideas about masculinity, nature, and sacrifice. Coal is the story of a group of workers in a small mine in McDowell County, West Virginia. Like other reality television shows that focus on dangerous occupations in extreme environments, Coal accentuates the macho attributes of these workers and features a gr…
Avicenna and the Aristotelian Left
Ernst Bloch gives a striking account of materialism that traces emancipatory elements of modern thought to medieval Islamic philosophers’ encounter with Aristotle. He argues that the great medieval Islamic philosopher Avicenna (Ibn Sina) planted the seeds of a radical materialism still relevant for critical theory today
The return of public media policy in New Zealand
The formation of a new coalition government in New Zealand in the wake of the 2017 election ended three terms of National-led governments and raised the prospect of a significant shift in media policy. National had insisted that in the digital media ecology, the funding of public broadcasting institutions was no longer a priority and that platform-neutral contestable funding of local content would ensure the quality and diversity of content. This…
This is not a Pipe
Over the course of the Weimar Republic, cigarettes began to replaced pipes and cigars as the preferred method of tobacco consumption among urban-dwelling German men. Simultaneously, gender-specific advertising campaigns increasingly pitched cigarette smoking to German women. Through this visual advertising, the cigarette served as a site of mediated contention for the gendered meaning of a consumptive good. While tobacco ads helped to co-create t…
Experience and Entrepreneurship
The authors cast entrepreneurship as one of three career choices-remaining with one's employer, changing employers, or engaging in entrepreneurship-and theorize how the likelihood of entrepreneurship evolves over one's career. They empirically demonstrate an inverted U-shaped relationship between accumulated experience and entrepreneurship across various industries and jobs. The authors highlight the difficulty of inferring the mechanism underlyi…
Nabile Farès
L'article présente l'expérience de travailler avec Farès – de découvrir son sens du processus de traduire (sa poésie et sa fiction). La métaphore représente la mutabilité qui fascinait Farès. D'abord, parce que la métaphore est une source vivante de signification, et non pas le produit figé de cette signification. Farès s'intéresse à la traduction comme extension de ce moment poétique (naissance de l'image poétique). Deuxièmement, l'accent que me…
The chemical subject
Employing phenomenological theory, this paper argues that German World War I soldiers’ introduction to the gas mask represents a salient historical moment in the human relationship to modern chemical technology. As a protective device, the gas mask was intended to save soldiers from a horrible death by asphyxiation. In doing so, it forced soldiers to directly confront the new technological landscape of the modern World War I battlefield. While th…
The Disputatious Caribbean
Sarah Barber announces an intention to approach the history of the Caribbean from first principles. Her aim is ‘to move beyond Euro-hegemonic structural concepts, to bring multidisciplinary fluidity to a vast but ill-delineated subject over a longue durée’ (p. 7). The five main chapters of her text are named, and introduced, in the currently fashionable declamatory style: Place, Resource, Connection, Body and Will. She finds ‘place’, for example,…
Dangerous Neighbors
This excellent study extends our understanding of the impact of revolutionary-era events in St. Domingue/Haiti on political culture in the emergent United States. Americans were transfixed by the slave rebellions, civil wars, and foreign interventions that led to creation of the Western Hemisphere's second republic. They consumed and shaped these events to reflect their republican realities. The primary conduits for such reflections were newspape…
Ernst Bloch and the Spirituality of Utopia
This essay outlines the significance of the unknowable and the spiritual in the works of Ernst Bloch. Bloch argued that Marxism needed to generate a “warm stream” of analysis to complement the “cold stream” of socioeconomic categories. His major works, The Principle of Hope and The Spirit of Utopia, represent attempts to provide this warm stream. This means that he was one of the few Marxist thinkers who took religion and faith seriously and atte…
Economic Interdependence and Security on the Korean Peninsula
Given North Korea’s desire to maintain nuclear weapons—and barring its unexpected collapse—how can the US and its allies establish and maintain a peaceful Northeast Asia? Current US policy alternatives do not offer an effective means for removing North Korean nuclear weapons without creating many more serious problems that jeopardize a stable future for Northeast Asia. However, by engaging in foreign direct investment (FDI) through North Korea’s …
The Hipp chronoscope versus the d’Arsonval chronometer
Chronoscopes and chronographs were commonly used instruments that measured reaction times (RTs) in the first psychology laboratories. The Hipp chronoscope is commonly associated with the emergence of psychological laboratories in the late 19th century. This instrument is considered the key apparatus for the study of scientific psychology. Although German and American psychologists preferred the Hipp chronoscope, French psychologists of late 19th …
Matthew Warner Osborn. Rum Maniacs
How and why did heavy drinking become a subject of medical interest, social controversy, and lurid fascination in the early American republic? That there was heavy drinking in the early republic, both relative to other times and cultures, and absolutely, in terms of what the human frame can stand, is beyond doubt. Jacksonian America was an “alcoholic republic” in W. J. Rorabaugh's classic formulation. At the heart of Matthew Warner Osborn's story…

Neoliberalism and the political economies of public television policy in New Zealand
This article will examine recent debates on political-economic approaches to media industries in the context of recent broadcasting policy developments in New Zealand. Theoretically, neo-Marxist macro-structural analysis of neoliberal media policy trajectories will be linked to an institutionalist analysis of the nodes, networks, and agencies through which political-economic forces percolate. Empirically, the policy context underpinning the curre…
Trade, Foreigninvestment, Andsecurity
Trade interdependence does not always reduce hostility between states. It depends on whether the trade represents vulnerability or sensitivity interdependence. Portfolio investment also does not represent a tie that binds politically. Even more important, foreign direct investment (FDI) represents a link that is costly (and time-consuming) to break. Thus, FDI links between countries are more likely to reduce conflict than trading links. Evidence …
Invested interests? Reflexivity, representation and reporting in financial markets
Communication processes and information flows are an intrinsic dimension of financial markets. The neoclassical notion of information and market efficiency conceives of prices in terms of a more or less accurate representation of objective market conditions. However, this overlooks the reflexive, constitutive dimension of informational processes in financial markets. The massive flows of capital around the globe and the constant shifts in financi…

How Much Did the Liberty Shipbuilders Learn? New Evidence for an Old Case Study
This paper offers some new estimates of the contribution of learning to the rapid increases in labor productivity observed in the construction of Liberty ships during World War II. The study exploits new data on physical capital investment and vessel quality constructed from contemporary records held at the National Archives. Estimates of the rate of learning are shown to be sensitive to the inclusion of the new capital data, and data on vessel q…

The Case of the Missing Hegemon
Balance of power theories have come roaring back into prominence in recent years as international relations theory grapples with new developments, including offshore balancing and soft balancing. Recent works demonstrate the importance of more than just the distribution of power, and have addressed the role that domestic politics plays in balancing. One overlooked aspect of this debate, with implications for offensive realism and the current disc…

The Relationship between Unit Cost and Cumulative Quantity and the Evidence for Organizational Learning-by-Doing
The concept of a learning curve for individuals has been around since the beginning of the twentieth century. The idea that an analogous phenomenon might also apply at the level of the organization took longer to emerge, but it had begun to figure prominently in military procurement and scheduling at least a decade before Wright's (1936) classic paper providing evidence that the cost of producing an airframe declined as cumulative output increase…
The German Left, the Berlin Wall and the Second Great Crash
This article puts the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 into its historical context. It points out that the developments that led to the demise of communism were not restricted to the Soviet Bloc but were part of a longer term crisis of the global economy. Using Kondratieff's Long Wave theory, this article shows how the end of the long post-war boom in 1974 represented to the high-point of the productivist model of capitalism and the shift to the W…
Desultory Dividends
The introduction of the TVNZ charter legislation in 2003 restructured the broadcaster from a state-owned enterprise (SEO) to a Crown-owned company (CROC). TVNZ was given a charter involving a dual remit obliging the delivery of extensive public service functions while maintaining commercial performance. The government also decided to directly fund charter initiatives through the Ministry for Culture and Heritage, and TVNZ anticipated that the Tre…

Atheism in Christianity
Visionary utopian thinker finds the atheist core of the bible. In recent years religious faith has come under much scrutiny from secular progressives. Fear of a rise in Islamic and Christian fundamentalism has prompted numerous attacks on the belief in God which make no attempt to understand its source. In this long unavailable book, Ernst Bloch provides an original historical examination of Christianity in an attempt to find its social roots. He…
Late Pleistocene Paleoclimates of North America as Inferred from Stable Isotope Studies of Speleothems
Some speleothems (CaCO 3 cave deposits) can be demonstrated to have been formed in oxygen isotopic equilibrium with their parent seepage waters and thus a record of relative fluctuations in depositional temperature can be obtained from the δ 18 O variations in successive growth layers of such deposits. These temperature fluctuations reflect variations in the average annual air temperature at the surface above the cave, and therefore permit infere…

The Capital-Energy Substitutability Debate
Over the last twenty years, many studies have been made of the elasticity of substitution between capital and labor. The reported estimates are highly variable, and reveal an apparent dichotomy between cross-sectional and time-series studies. The former suggest that capital and energy are substitutes while the latter suggest the converse. All these studies reported Allen partial elasticities of substitution. We suggest that the Morishima elastici…
