Nudging church funding
Fundraising involves designing mechanisms through which funds are requested and collected. This matters as donation decisions are inevitably influenced by how the funding ask is presented. A subtle change in the design can nudge a donor to choose differently. For churches, practical concerns of financial sustainability need to be balanced against the non-monetary implications of funding mechanisms, including theological considerations. This artic…
Impacts of the CSIRO climate modelling program
The role of climate modelling groups in the development of international agreements that aim to assess future climatic risks and limit greenhouse gas concentrations is not well recognised. It is arguable that no such agreements would have been possible without carefully designed and managed research programs that provided the data upon which these risks and thus, decisions were made. Many groups contributed data that underpinned the Intergovernme…
Expectations of progression to university among pupils in rural communities
This paper examines the social influences determining S5/Year 12 and S6/Year 13 (final year) pupils' expectations of progression to university in a Scottish rural context in which pupils are less likely to go to university.In particular, we investigate the extent to which perceived support from parents, peers, and school, taking into account pupils' own evaluation of their qualifications, is associated with their self-assessed likelihood of unive…
Pulling together or pulling apart? Understanding the heterogenous collective action frames of local climate activists through a Q methodology study
The potential for green community groups to respond effectively to climate change depends on the heterogeneity of preferences of individual member activists. Using a Q-methodology study of two groups in England, we propose an original typology of collective action frames for local green activism: ‘consensus seeking’, ‘community building’, ‘radical adversarial’, and ‘eco-egalitarian’. These differ according to how activists articulate and act upon…
Do international tourist arrivals change residents’ attitudes towards immigration? A longitudinal study of 28 European countries
Can international tourist arrivals change residents’ attitudes towards immigrants and immigration? We discuss possible underlying mechanisms and provide the first evidence on this question using data from the European Social Survey (2002–2019; n=333,505). We find that, as tourist arrivals grow, residents become more positive towards immigration in Eastern Europe. In Western Europe, the relationship tends to turn from positive to negative at relat…
New discoveries from the early Māori village at Shag River Mouth, New Zealand, reveal intestinal parasites
Presented here are the results of archaeoparasitological analysis of habitation layers at Shag River Mouth, Otago coast. Two types of helminth eggs were identified: The first type is Toxocara canis , associated with the introduced kurī dog ( Canis familiaris ), which could have adversely affected local people and their dogs. The other type very closely resembles that of Stringopotaenia psittacea , associated with the critically endangered endemic…

Patient Preferences for Lung Cancer Treatment
Introduction: Lung cancer is the deadliest and most prevalent cancer worldwide. Lung cancer treatments have different characteristics and are associated with a range of benefits and side effects for patients. Such differences may raise uncertainty among drug developers, regulators, payers, and clinicians regarding the value of these treatment effects to patients. The value of conducting patient preference studies (using qualitative and/or quantit…
Establishing Identity
The rise of direct‐to‐consumer genetic testing is challenging the rules and expectations of the fertility industry concerning donor anonymity. While ethicists debate whose rights should prevail, many donor conceived people, recipient parents and donors are currently sharing their genetic information, along with methods to identify genetic links, in vast online communities, invalidating donor anonymity and providing a platform for those who advoca…

Rural Life, Roman Ways? Examination of Late Iron Age to Late Romano-British Burial Practice and Mobility at Dog Hole Cave, Cumbria
The scarcity of Romano-British human remains from north-west England has hindered understanding of burial practice in this region. Here, we report on the excavation of human and non-human animal remains 1 and material culture from Dog Hole Cave, Haverbrack. Foetal and neonatal infants had been interred alongside a horse burial and puppies, lambs, calves and piglets in the very latest Iron Age to early Romano-British period, while the mid- to late…

Mid-term radiological results of a cementless short humeral component in anatomical and reverse shoulder arthroplasty
Implantation of this particular short cementless humeral component at the time of TSA or RSA was associated with a low rate of adverse radiological findings on the humeral side at mid-term follow-up. Our data do not raise any concerns regarding the use of a short stem in TSA or RSA. Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2019;101-B:610-614.
New excavations at Fa’ahia (Huahine, Society Islands) and chronologies of central East Polynesian colonization
The six-hectare site of Vaito'otia-Fa'ahia on Huahine Island in the Leeward Societies is renowned for its wealth of material culture typifying early East Polynesian settlement, including items of wood and fibre preserved by waterlogging, through the research of Yosihiko Sinoto and colleagues in particular. However, the stratigraphy for much of the excavated area is sketchy and no precise chronology of settlement is available. Renewed excavations …

It aimed to develop understanding of the chronology and role of the hillforts and encourage local interest and involvement in their maintenance
Demographic Change in European Towns 2001–11
The unique contribution of this paper is to empirically compare and contrast demographic change in settlements with a population between 5,000 and under 50,000 (defined as towns) across different national urban systems in Europe with common definitions for the first time. The analysis uses a new data set based on harmonised small area data and harmonised morphological definitions of what a town is. The paper hypothesises first that a general mode…
Political party formation by former armed opposition groups after civil war
Under what conditions are rebel groups successfully incorporated into democratic politics when civil war ends? Using an original cross-national, longitudinal dataset, we examine political party formation by armed opposition groups over a 20-year period, from 1990 to 2009. We find that former armed opposition groups form parties in more than half of our observations. A rebel group’s pre-war political experience, characteristics of the war and how …
Bury My Documents in Lenexa, Kansas
Restricted access to the American Indian Records Repository (AIRR) poses significant problems for expert witness historians working outside the federal government, as well as for academic historians and tribes. The authors discuss the creation of the AIRR in 2004, the records housed there, and the challenges they have experienced as expert witnesses seeking access to the AIRR. Although the AIRR preserves a far greater volume of federal records th…
A reassessment of settlement patterns and subsistence atPointDurham,ChathamIsland
Orthodox reconstructions of subsistence and settlement patterns onChathamIsland proposed that throughout the pre‐contact period,Moriori lived within small home ranges and relied for food predominantly on fur seals, with plant foods being of little importance. Reassessment of thePointDurham sites on which these reconstructions were based demonstrates that they were not contemporary, which undermines the orthodox model. Chronological evidence indic…
Religious Labor Markets
Given the pivotal role of clergy inputs in church outputs, it is important to understand religious labor markets: how clergy are allocated to churches, how they are motivated and remunerated, and the implications of these factors for the performance of churches and denominations. Religious labor markets have particular characteristics. Like other motivated agents, clergy’s sense of call conditions their contractual and incentive structures. They …

The transient village in southern New Zealand
Southern New Zealand is a cool‐temperate insular region, first colonized about 800 BP by hunter‐gatherers. Archaeological data, particularly from the site at Shag River Mouth, show that small villages, established early in the settlement sequence, were occupied only briefly and that by about 400 BP village habitation had ceased. Ethnographic observations and some archaeological evidence show that villages were re‐established late in the sequence,…

The effect of external takeovers on manufacturing employment change in the Northern region between 1963 and 1973
Smith I. J. (1979) The effect of external takeovers on manufacturing employment change in the Northern region between 1963 and 1973, Reg. Studies 13, 421–437. This analysis attempts to assess the differential employment performance of externally acquired manufacturing plants with over 100 workers in the Northern region. The evidence for regarding this ownership category as potentially a distinctive one in terms of employment performance is first …
Testing Governance
This paper explores issues of urban governance through a case study of a major, waterfront regeneration project in an English city (Bristol). The first part of the paper sets the development of this project within the broader theoretical context of urban regime theory and changing structures of governance in the city. The paper then outlines the attempts to build a city-wide consensus in Bristol around a viable development project in a situation …
Sedentism, subsistence and socio-political organization in prehistoric New Zealand
Much archaeological thinking about the interrelationships between subsistence, sedentism and socio-political organization has been carried out within an evolutionary framework. The classic model sees the development of complex social organization linked to a rise in the importance of agriculture and of a sedentary way of life. The New Zealand record offers challenges to this model. New Zealand is an unusual case involving a society moving from an…
Cultural production, place and politics on the South Bank of the Thames
The past decade has seen an increasing interest in the cultural economies of cities by public bodies keen to address issues of urban decline. This article documents recent developments on the South Bank of the Thames in central London where cultural investments appear to be clustered and where attempts have been made to give spatial and policy coherence to a range of new development projects. The local authority promotes the South Bank as London'…
Changes in Corporate Control in the British Urban System, 1972-1977
Analysis of changes in the locations of the headquarters of the leading thousand companies in the UK, both at the regional and urban levels, reveals evidence of increasing centralization of control in the Southeast. The main elements of change are analysed to assess their relative significance in the process
Election Boycotts and Hybrid Regime Survival
Despite the frequent occurrence of election boycotts, there are few studies available in the scholarly literature concerning their effectiveness, particularly as a strategy of opposition parties seeking to bring about the end of electoral authoritarian governments. This article uses an original data set with global coverage of hybrid regimes from 1981 to 2006, and uses event-history analysis to determine the efficacy of boycotts in national elect…
Distribution and extirpation of pigs in Pacific Islands
Neolithic arrival in the Pacific involved, as in other parts of the world, the translocation of domesticated plants and animals by pottery‐making cultures in prehistory. Globally uncommon, though, was the abandonment of pottery on some islands and the extirpation of the pig (Sus scrofa/verrucosus) and dog (Canis familiaris) – the two largest mammalian quadrupeds introduced to Oceania – from the subsistence and cultural systems. This paper examine…

Radiocarbon dates from archaeological rat bones
AMS radiocarbon determinations on rat bone gelatin from Pleasant River, New Zealand, are presented. These differ significantly from radiocarbon ages for the same deposits on multiple samples of other materials, and in conjunction with previously reported data from Shag River Mouth show a consistent pattern of divergence between the results from two laboratories suggesting that pretreatment or other laboratory procedures may have influenced the re…
Explaining the Growth of Divorce in Great Britain
This paper tests whether the liberalisation of divorce law or economic factors can explain the post‐war growth of divorce rates in Great Britain. Timing differences regarding the dates of legal innovations in England & Wales relative to Scotland are exploited to test for divorce law effects. No effect on marital dissolution of extending the grounds for the divorce can be detected, though other innovations in family law have had a powerful but gen…

Making Teachers in Britain
There is an apparent contradiction between the widespread moves towards a uniform and instrumentalist standards‐based approach to teaching on the one hand and recent research‐based insights into the complexity of effective pedagogies. The former tendency reflects a politically driven agenda, the latter is more professionally driven. Tensions reflecting such a contradiction are evident in the debates over initial teacher education (ITE) policy and…
Capitalising on culture
English Over the last two decades, the cultural sphere appears to have gained a more central role in urban policy and urban governance. This article gives an outline of the changing cultural policy landscape in the UK over the last decade, and then explores the significance of this changing landscape from the standpoint of one of the country's main regional cities. It argues that there has been a growing congruence between national and local cult…

Dialects in Contact
This work accounts for the influence mutually intelligible dialects of a language have on one another when they come into contact. It examines linguisitic accommodation in face-to-face interaction and treats this phenomenon as crucial to an understanding of longer-term phenomena such as the geographical spread of linguistic features, the development of interdialect and the growth of new dialects

Reconsideration of the Marquesan sequence in East Polynesian prehistory, with particular reference to Hane (MUH1)
Current views about the Marquesan sequence are reviewed through a reassessment of the archaeological evidence from Hane. Particular attention is given to the stratigraphy, radiocarbon dating, adzes, fishhooks, harpoons, ornaments, pottery and faunal remains. These data suggest that the lower levels at Hane represent a single relatively brief phase of occupation, probably about the middle of the first millenium A.D., during the initial settlement …
