Freshwater biodiversity in a rapidly changing Arctic
Arctic freshwater biodiversity is rapidly changing due to climate warming, resource extraction, infrastructure development, and landscape transformation. To improve understanding, predict future responses, and inform policy formulation, research needs must be clearly identified. Using a horizon scan survey, Arctic freshwater experts from government, international agencies, and Indigenous Peoples identified 77 biodiversity research questions with …
How Culture Displaced Structural Reform
We use content analysis to show that the diagnosis of the financial crisis of 2007–2009 shifted significantly from a focus on the need for structural change in the banking industry to an emphasis on culture and reform at the organizational level. We consider four overlapping subsystems in which this shift in problem–solution clusters played out—political, regulatory, legal, and consulting—and show that the “structural reform agenda,” which was in…
Creativity, Risk and the Research Impact Agenda in the United Kingdom
This article describes the recent requirement for UK universities to account for the social and economic impact of their research, and asks whether this impact agenda may change the conduct of research itself. Three critical issues are highlighted: the epistemology of impact; the problem of quantifying qualities; and the likelihood of impact growing in significance and changing the landscape of research – so-called ‘impact creep’. Overall, the ar…

Predictors of breast milk macronutrient composition in filipino mothers
OBJECTIVES: There is increasing evidence that breastfeeding has long-term effects on offspring biology and health, which has heightened interest in understanding the extent of variation in breast milk composition and its underlying determinants. Here, we report variation in milk macronutrient composition in a well-characterized cohort of young Filipino mothers and test underlying maternal predictors of this variation. METHODS: Morning breast milk…
Physical and Biological Factors Affecting Mercury and Perfluorinated Contaminants in Arctic Char ( Salvelinus alpinus ) of Pingualuit Crater Lake (Nunavik, Canada) + Supplementary Appendices (See Arti…
Pingualuk Lake fills a deep crater in the Parc National des Pingualuit on the Ungava Peninsula (Nunavik, Canada) and is isolated from nearby surface waters. The main objectives of this study were to determine and compare the concentrations of two atmospherically derived contaminants, mercury and perfluorinated chemicals (PFCs), in the lake water column and fish of Pingualuk Lake and to assess the physical and biological factors influencing contam…
Cognitive psychopathology
Neste artigo fazemos uma reflexão sobre o papel da emoção na compreensão da psicopatologia. Fazemos uma breve revisão e apontamos uma série de limitações do influente modelo da Psicoterapia Cognitiva preconizado por Beck. Dois pontos particularmente fracos são destacados na compreensão da psicopatologia cognitiva; nomeadamente, a importância dos sistemas de processamento multi-nível e a importância das emoções. Apresentamos o modelo SPAARS de Pow…
Education, professionalism and the quest for accountability
by Jane Green, London, Routledge, 2011, 268 pp., £85.00, ISBN 978-0-41-587925-5. Critics of the control of public services via performance targets and audits are not hard to find, both at the lev
The Logic of Discipline
Foucault and Sociology
Michel Foucault was a gifted but elusive thinker with a wide and continuing impact across many academic fields. This article positions his work as a historical sociology of knowledge and evaluates its contribution. After reviewing Foucault's central preoccupations as they emerge in his major works, the argument briefly considers their influence on accounting scholarship as an informative exemplar of a wider Foucault effect. Four key areas for the…
Reputational Risk as a Logic of Organizing in Late Modernity
This paper argues that it is useful to regard `reputational risk' as a pervasive logic of organizing and organizational attention. First, we suggest that the risk management agenda has expanded from its roots in technical analysis to become a cornerstone of good governance and responsible actorhood. We illustrate this claim in the context of English universities. Second, we suggest that this expansion in the reach and significance of risk managem…
Movement and Aggregation of Eastern Hudson Bay Beluga Whales ( Delphinapterus leucas )
Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) consists of the collective knowledge, experience, and values of subsistence communities, while Western science relies on hypothesis testing to obtain information on natural processes. Both approaches provide important ecological information, but few studies have directly compared the two. We compared information on movements and aggregation of beluga whales obtained from TEK interview records (n = 3253) and …
Terence C. Halliday and Bruce G. Carruthers, Bankrupt
T he topicality of this book is fortuitous.Although the "systemic finan- cial crisis" of the sub-title is that of Asia in 1997 rather than 2008, it has much to say about current efforts to reform financial architecture.Its manifest topic is the development and implementation of global norms for bankruptcy.Yet it is has a much broader appeal for scholars of globalization processes in many different fields and with many different substantive intere…

Organized Uncertainty
Since the mid-1990s risk management has undergone a dramatic expansion in its reach and significance, being transformed from an aspect of management control to become a benchmark of good governance for banks, hospitals, schools, charities and many other organizations. Numerous standards for risk management practice have been produced by a variety of transnational organizations. While these many designs and blueprints are accompanied by ideals of …
Buying Time II
The study's aim was to investigate the cost-effectiveness of an NHS/Social Services short-term residential rehabilitation unit (a form of intermediate care) for older people on discharge from community hospital compared with 'usual' community services. An economic evaluation was conducted alongside a prospective controlled trial, which explored the effectiveness of a rehabilitation unit in a practice setting. The aim of the unit was to help indiv…
An Overview of Effects of Climate Change on Selected Arctic Freshwater and Anadromous Fishes
Arctic freshwater and diadromous fish species will respond to the various effects of climate change in many ways. For wide-ranging species, many of which are key components of northern aquatic ecosystems and fisheries, there is a large range of possible responses due to inter- and intra-specific variation, differences in the effects of climate drivers within ACIA regions, and differences in drivers among regions. All this diversity, coupled with …
General Effects of Climate Change on Arctic Fishes and Fish Populations
Projected shifts in climate forcing variables such as temperature and precipitation are of great relevance to arctic freshwater ecosystems and biota. These will result in many direct and indirect effects upon the ecosystems and fish present therein. Shifts projected for fish populations will range from positive to negative in overall effect, differ among species and also among populations within species depending upon their biology and tolerances…
Effects of Climate Change and UV Radiation on Fisheries for Arctic Freshwater and Anadromous Species
Fisheries for arctic freshwater and diadromous fish species contribute significantly to northern economies. Climate change, and to a lesser extent increased ultraviolet radiation, effects in freshwaters will have profound effects on fisheries from three perspectives: quantity of fish available, quality of fish available, and success of the fishers. Accordingly, substantive adaptation will very likely be required to conduct fisheries sustainably i…
The invention of operational risk
Until the ‘Basel 2’ reforms to banking supervision, operational risk was largely a residual category for risks and uncertainties which were difficult to quantify, insure and manage in traditional ways. This paper examines the rapid emergence of operational risk from this low epistemic status to its institutionalization as a key component of global banking regulation. However, the meaning and implications of the Basel proposals have been fiercely …

The study's objective was to determine the effectiveness of a joint NHS/Social Services rehabilitation unit (a form of intermediate care) for older people on discharge from community hospital, compared with 'usual' community services. This was a controlled clinical trial in a practice setting. The intervention was 6 weeks in a rehabilitation unit where individuals worked with care/rehabilitation assistants and occupational therapists to regain in…
The Rise of the British Regulatory State
This article reviews three recent books that explore the social and political foundations of the regulatory changes in the governance of British society and economy. Beyond privatization, there is increasing delegation to autonomous agencies, formalization of relationships, and proliferation of new technologies of regulation in both public and private spheres. Sociolegal, public administration, and political economic perspectives can help explore…
Counting, Control and Calculation
This article explores fundamental issues in performance measurement systems broadly conceived. Three key moments or themes are identified. First, the foundations of measurement in counting practices, and their inherent reductionism, are considered. Second, the relations between measurement and technologies of monitoring and control, such as auditing, are discussed. Third, first- and second-order measurement (meta-measurement) are distinguished, r…
Evaluating the Audit Explosion
This paper reviews the claim that there has been an audit explosion in recent years and seeks to refine the argument in terms of its institutional and behavioral effects and its underlying causes and consequences. A framework for greater comparative sensitivity is suggested, both in cross‐national and cross‐sectoral terms, which focuses on variation in the knowledge base, formal organization, and operational dimensions of auditing. Finally, a pre…

Councillors and commerce in Liverpool, 1650–1750
Liverpool grew remarkably in the century after 1650 outpacing long-established ports like Bristol and Hull. In part this was due to advantages of location, in part to the ambitions of its merchants. The council opened a wet dock in 1715, a pioneering project which gave the port an unusual trading advantage. This paper explains that event by tracing the emergence of merchants on the council in the late seventeenth century and, by analysing port bo…
Habermas and Transcendental Arguments
Habermas's transcendentalism in Knowledge and Human Interests ( KHI) deserves to be reappraised for a number of reasons. Prevailing conceptions of strong transcendental arguments, which inform many of his critics, cannot be sustained. The analytic reception of Kant suggests a more modest role for them that is remarkably similar to Habermas's claims for the paradigm of rational reconstruction. Hence a reinterpretation of transcendentalism provides…

Multi-disciplinary assessment for residential accommodation
This paper examines an example of multi-disciplinary assessment for residential accommodation (Part III) carried out in the Day Hospital of a district general hospital Geriatric Medical Unit. It is a positive example of co-operation between social services and medical, nursing and para-medical staff. Multi-disciplinary assessment was found to be of benefit to both medical and social services' staff. A number of applicants were found to have previ…

The politics of brand accounting in the United Kingdom
The debate on accounting for brand names in the UK is undoubtedly a significant episode in the recent history of accounting regulation. This essay describes the principal ‘technical’ parameters of the debate and places the question of a credible valuation technology for brands at its centre. A concept of the politics of consensus formation is developed to interpret the strategies adopted by the participants in the debate to contest and assert the…

The Audit Society
Since the early 1980s there has been an explosion of auditing activity in the United Kingdom and North America. In addition to financial audits there are now medical audits, technology audits, value for money audits, environmental audits, quality audits, teaching audits, and many others. Why has this happened? What does it mean when a society invests so heavily in an industry of checking and when more and more individuals find themselves subject …

Standardization and the Regulation of Management Control Practices
Der Aufsatz diskutiert Überlegungen zu Managementkontrollsystemen auf drei Feldern (Wirtschaftsprüfung, Qualitätssicherung, Risikomanagement) und stellt dar, was bei einem generischen System auf dem Spiel steht, das im Prinzip auf jede Organisation angewendet werden kann. Diese Systementwürfe spielen eine Rolle, indem sie Ordnungsvisionen liefern und legitime öffentliche Organisationsbilder unterstützen, aber sie verkörpern zugleich unrealisierba…
