Generative AI and LLMs in industry
The rise of Generative AI (GAI) and Large Language Models (LLMs) has transformed industrial landscapes, offering unprecedented opportunities for efficiency and innovation while raising critical ethical, regulatory, and operational challenges. Despite growing adoption across sectors, little is known about how corporate governance frameworks address these multifaceted risks in a comparative, sector-specific manner—a clear knowledge gaps this study …
Bridging the ‘sport/culture silo’
The Eurovision Song Contest (ESC) uniquely exhibits features of both sporting and cultural events. Its tradition of awarding hosting rights to the previous year’s winning broadcaster has persisted even as its scale has approached that of sporting and cultural mega-events. Research on its politics of place has increasingly drawn on studies of sports mega-events, especially surrounding nation-branding and ‘soft power.’ Yet there has been little dia…

A New Condition for Transitivity of Probabilistic Support
As is well known, implication is transitive but probabilistic support is not. Eells and Sober, followed by Shogenji, showed that screening off is a sufficient constraint for the transitivity of probabilistic support. Moreover, this screening off condition can be weakened without sacrificing transitivity, as was demonstrated by Suppes and later by Roche. In this paper we introduce an even weaker sufficient condition for the transitivity of probabi…
Making the History of British-U.S. Relations Great Again
Following the icy thing
This article explores how a focus on commodities, and associated ‘follow-the-thing’ methodologies, might help nuance and deepen traditional historical narratives of the natural-ice trade between Norway and Britain in the 1850–1920 period. The article outlines these approaches and their potential to prompt richer understandings of the broader social impacts of the extraction or production of commodities, and their sale and consumption. This approa…

Probabilistic truth approximation and fixed points
We use the method of fixed points to describe a form of probabilistic truth approximation which we illustrate by means of three examples. We then contrast this form of probabilistic truth approximation with another, more familiar kind, where no fixed points are used. In probabilistic truth approximation with fixed points the events are dependent on one another, but in the second kind they are independent. The first form exhibits a phenomenon that…
Screening off generalized
Eells and Sober proved in 1983 that screening off is a sufficient condition for the transitivity of probabilistic causality, and in 2003 Shogenji noted that the same goes for probabilistic support. We start this paper by conjecturing that Hans Reichenbach may have been aware of this fact. Then we consider the work of Suppes and Roche, who demonstrated in 1986 and 2012 respectively that screening off can be generalized, while still being sufficien…
Probability functions, belief functions and infinite regresses
In a recent paper Ronald Meester and Timber Kerkvliet argue by example that infinite epistemic regresses have different solutions depending on whether they are analyzed with probability functions or with belief functions. Meester and Kerkvliet give two examples, each of which aims to show that an analysis based on belief functions yields a different numerical outcome for the agent’s degree of rational belief than one based on probability function…

Folk Song as Hybrid Art Form
A number of philosophers of music have proved resistant to the idea that song should be considered as a hybrid art that combines language and music. Separately, Levinson in his influential account of hybrid art forms does not admit folk song, even though he does allow nineteenth-century lieder into the hybrid category. Folk songs are sometimes treated as if they are anterior to and therefore ontologically distinct from the more complex songs of W…
Pursuing Respect in the Cannibal Isles
In addition to being an exceptional scholar of Native American history, Nancy Shoemaker is among the most ingenious historians of nineteenth-century Americans' engagement with the world. Her scholarship is characterized by scrupulous research and incisive conceptual frameworks that not only enliven her own work but also promise to enrich the scholarship of others. This superb book builds upon her most recent contributions to this endeavor, exempl…

Relationships in Eighteenth-Century Ballads – Negotiation, Ideology, Imagination
The eighteenth century in England is not well represented in the standard ballad editions, but there were many printed ballads presenting a wide range of human relationships, marital and familial, romantic and sexual. Scholars have argued variously that such ballads enabled the negotiation of real-life relationships, that they embodied the prevailing patriarchal ideology of the time, and that they allowed their audience to imagine situations outs…
Fenianism, Expatriation, and the International Politics of Citizenship
Speaking in the aftermath of diplomatic tensions with Japan in July 1908, President Theodore Roosevelt observed the close relationship between American foreign relations and immigration. Roosevelt reflected on the scale and diversity of immigration to the United States in a speech before the Naval War College and concluded that “in consequence there are points of friction between this country and other countries such as exist in no other nation.”…
Preconception Care in a Remote Aboriginal Community Context
Preconception care (PCC) is acknowledged as a vital preventive health measure aiming to promote health today and for subsequent generations. We aimed to describe the content and context of PCC delivery in a very remote Australian Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Service setting. A retrospective audit was undertaken to identify what PCC was delivered between 2011 and 2018 to 127 Aboriginal women who had at least one pregnancy during this per…
Chair's note
The Society for Libyan Studies celebrated its 50th year in 2019 and it boasts a long record of promoting excellent research on Libya and its adjacent regions. Our second half-century will bring new challenges and opportunities. This note outlines our strategy to maintain our focus on Libya while acknowledging that Libya has always been embedded within wider networks of influence, trade and engagement across the Mediterranean and throughout North …
Till at last there remain nothing”
In A Treatise of Human Nature , David Hume presents an argument according to which all knowledge reduces to probability, and all probability reduces to nothing. Many have criticized this argument, while others find nothing wrong with it. In this paper we explain that the argument is invalid as it stands, but for different reasons than have been hitherto acknowledged. Once the argument is repaired, it becomes clear that there is indeed something t…
Engaging Northern Indigenous Communities in Biophysical Research
Guidelines and best practices to engage Indigenous people in Arctic regions in biophysical research have emerged since the 1990s. Despite these guidelines, mainstream scientists still struggle to create effective working relationships with Indigenous people and engage them in their research. We encountered this issue when we visited three communities on Alaska’s west coast to study impactful weather events and the formation of “slush ice berms,” …
The Trauma of Racial Annihilation in the Atlantic World
The fantasy of impending racial annihilation is at the heart of modern white supremacist discourse. Admonitions against “white genocide” and “white erasure” emanate from virtual chat-rooms and manifest in the chants of far-right identitarians on the streets of Charlottesville and Warsaw. Derived in part from the conspiratorial musings of convicted neo-Nazi murderer David Lane, present-day American and European conceptions of white extermination r…
It’s Important to Make Changes.’ Insights about Motivators and Enablers of Healthy Lifestyle Modification from Young Aboriginal Men in Western Australia
Lifestyle modification can improve the health of people with or at risk of non-communicable diseases; however, initiating and maintaining positive health behaviours including healthy eating and physical activity is challenging. Young remote Aboriginal people who had successfully made significant healthy lifestyle changes were sought out to explore how they achieved this success. Four Aboriginal men aged 20−35 years were identified and consented t…
Real-World Gestational Diabetes Screening
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is the most common antenatal complication in Australia. All pregnant women are recommended for screening by 75 g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). As part of a study to improve screening, 694 women from 27 regional, rural and remote clinics were recruited from 2015-2018 into the Optimisation of Rural Clinical and Haematological Indicators for Diabetes in pregnancy (ORCHID) study. Most routine OGTT samples wer…
Kitsch Geographies and the Everyday Spaces of Social Memory
Given recent developments in retheorising the spatialities of memory, in this study I move beyond established foci upon monuments and fixed sites of memory to consider some of the more ordinary places where memory erupts. In contrast to the high-profile, waterfront regeneration projects that often draw academic attention, I focus upon one of the more routine docklands that are less regularly analysed-namely 'Victoria Dock Village' in Hull. I disc…
Urban Rhetoric and Embodied Identities
This essay examines the monument constructed by the Italian state in the center of Rome to commemorate Vittorio-Emanuele II, first king of united Italy. Opened in 1911 and constructed in the Beaux-Arts architectural style popular at that time as appropriately “imperial” for urban monuments throughout the West, the Vittoriano's symbolism and iconography produce a “memory theater” through which the official rhetoric of a united and imperial Italy w…
A sanitised city? Social exclusion at Bristol's 1996 international festival of the sea
Charlottesville and the alt-right
This article argues that education and exposure are essential tools in the fight against the alt-right movement. While the alt-right has flourished by disguising its core racist ideology, the August 2017 “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville VA revealed the movement's white supremacist leanings and affiliations. Building on this public unmasking, I outline what I see as the eight central white supremacist concepts that animate alt-right thin…
Codeswitching, identity and ownership in Irish radio comedy
Tales from the Riverbank
n\t\t\t\t\tAlthough place-marketing and image-enhancement are increasingly common elements of Western urban policy, when applied to specific locales, these abstract theories have to negotiate local conditions and contexts. This paper discusses the ways attempts to place-market the city of Hull, England, prompted debates surrounding questions of place, memory and heritage. Despite being Britain's leading fishing port in the 20th century, Hull's pl…
Exploring language attitudes and ideologies in university students’ discussion of Irish in a context of increasing language diversity
The apparent gap between positive attitudes and low levels of everyday usage of the language is often cited as one of the greatest challenges facing Irish language revitalisation. In a context of increasing linguistic and cultural diversity in the Republic of Ireland, this article reports on a research project which set out to explore the attitudes of groups of Irish undergraduate students towards the languages which they come into contact with i…
The Emergence of Justification
A major objection to epistemic infinitism is that it seems to make justification impossible. For if there is an infinite chain of reasons, each receiving its justification from its neighbour, then there is no justification to inherit in the first place. Some have argued that the objection arises from misunderstanding the character of justification. Justification is not something that one reason inherits from another; rather it gradually emerges f…
Performing wartime memories
The paper examines contest over one of Trieste's most emotive sites of memory, the former Nazi death camp at the Risiera di San Sabba. Attention is paid to the Risiera as a site for ceremonial recollection of World War Two, and to the enmeshing of the local civic calendar of events within wider currents of academic and political revisionism affecting the upper Adriatic. The paper complements existing studies of former Nazi camps as memorial sites…
There's no excuse. Speak Catalan!’– the marketing of language acquisition to mobility students
This article explores the ways in which a website designed specifically for tertiary level mobility students, Intercat ( http://www.intercat.cat/en/index.jsp ), markets acquisition of the Catalan language to its target audience. We argue that the site displays tensions between different types of language ideology, in particular between the commodification of language and an ideology of nation and nationhood. These tensions are of sociolinguistic …
How to Confirm the Conjunction of Disconfirmed Hypotheses
Could some evidence confirm a conjunction of two hypotheses more than it confirms either of the hypotheses separately? We show that it might, moreover under conditions that are the same for ten different measures of confirmation. Further, we demonstrate that it is even possible for the conjunction of two disconfirmed hypotheses to be confirmed by the same evidence
Catalan on the Internet and the .ct and .cat campaigns
ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, divides the World Wide Web geographically, assigning country suffixes to states to be used in web addresses for sites on their territory. This paper reports on the campaign in Catalonia to have the right to use .ct as the territorial domain name for sites in Catalonia. The bid has been countered by the central government in Madrid and the argument is ongoing. In the interim, ICANN ha…
Minority Language Advertising
This paper investigates the Irish-language adscape through an analysis of the profile of two Irish-language newspapers, Foinse, published in the Republic of Ireland, and Lá, published in Northern Ireland. The advertising in both papers is analysed in terms of products and services advertised, advertisers represented and language used. Our results indicate that Irish-language advertising in these papers tends to be confined to traditional domains,…
Catalan and Spanish in an independent Catalonia
Pro-independence parties won a narrow majority of parliamentary seats in the December 2017 elections in Catalonia. Should Catalonia at some point become independent from Spain, the respective status of Catalan and Spanish is a major issue about which there is significant divergence of opinion, not least within the independence movement in Catalonia. This article approaches the question of language officiality in a hypothetically independent Catal…
Grounds and limits
From 1929 onwards, C. I. Lewis defended the foundationalist claim that judgements of the form ‘ x is probable’ only make sense if one assumes there to be a ground y that is certain (where x and y may be beliefs, propositions, or events). Without this assumption, Lewis argues, the probability of x could not be anything other than zero. Hans Reichenbach repeatedly contested Lewis’s idea, calling it “a remnant of rationalism”. The last move in this …
Linguistic normalisation and the market
Language planning and policy in Catalonia has been a focus of much interest and discussion over the past three decades. In this article we go beyond issues of policy in order to examine what happens when an influential constituency in the linguistic landscape of Catalonia, namely advertisers, have a “free choice” as regards the language(s) which they use when advertising in a key site in the print media, that of El Periódico de Catalunya , one of…

Minoritisation, Identity and Ethnolinguistic Vitality in Catalonia
This article expresses the view that language planning and policies which seek to protect the interests of linguistic minorities must be based on a realistic analysis of the power relations which exist between the groups concerned. It argues that such an assessment is a complex task and exemplifies some of the difficulties involved through reference to the situation in Catalonia, focusing on the nature of minoritisation, ethnolinguistic identity …
The Politics of Geography and the Italian Occupation of Libya
This article adopts a broad view of geography to examine some of the roles which geographical knowledges, of various kinds, played in constituting Libya in the Italian geographical imagination. After problematising geography as a situated form of knowledge with a long tradition of pro-imperial activities, it considers some of the ways in which geographical discourses laid the foundations for Italian imperialism in Libya. In particular the article…
Assessing cognitive impairment in Indigenous Australians
The Kimberley Indigenous Cognitive Assessment (KICA) was initially developed and validated as a culturally appropriate dementia screening tool for older Indigenous people living in the Kimberley. This paper describes the re-evaluation of the psychometric properties of the cognitive section (KICA-Cog) of this tool in two different populations, including a Northern Territory sample, and a larger population-based cohort from the Kimberley. In both p…

The Anglo-Scottish Ballad and its Imaginary Contexts
singers sometimes experience in recalling words in the absence of a tune (and there is some evidence from neuroscience for the synergy of the two things in human memory) -there is still an absence of a critical vocabulary that would convincingly facilitate the discussion of an integrated whole.Ballad words belong ultimately to the domain of language, and ballad melodies to the domain of music, yet it remains unclear to what extent those two domai…
Geographical imaginations, public education and the everyday worlds of Fascist Italy
This article explores the phenomena of geographical imaginations and their seldom-noted promotion within various corners of Fascist Italy. Imagined geographies are socially constructed understandings of other places and regions and, as such, they are malleable, contingent, shifting and unquantifiable. Nevertheless, these imaginaries help us to navigate our imaginative worlds and our relative place in the material world. In 1930s Italy, various in…
The Ballad and Its Paradoxes
Although the English and Scottish ballads have an established place as a major folklore genre, they have remained stubbornly resistant to definition and much that has been written both about their history and about their essential characteristics has been ambiguous, confusing, and in some instances misleading. This lecture casts an eye over some of the paradoxes thrown up by the genre, taking as a starting point Child's criteria of great age, ini…

Concurrent and Predictive Validity of Two Group Intelligence Tests in a Juvenile Forensic Setting
The study examined concurrent and predictive validity of two group intelligence tests in 110 institutionalized white delinquents with a mean age of 15 yr., 4 mo. Scores on the Otis-Lennon Mental Abilities Test and the Culture-Fair Intelligence Test correlated .67 with each other. The latter scores were greater than the former for 82.7% of the subjects. The prediction criterion of scores on Scale B of the High School Personality Questionnaire corr…

Of the small number of comic ballads included in the last volume of The English and Scottish Popular Ballads (Child 1882-98: nos. 273-283, 290), several (including those to be discussed in detail here) have enjoyed considerable popularity with traditional singers. It is also the case that this small body of material is somewhat reinforced by the presence of comic or humorous elements elsewhere in the ballad repertoire (Nicolaisen 1992; Roberts 19…

Agriculture-reconciling ancient tensions
Decision-making in agriculture has tended to be driven by factors other than environmental concerns. This may be changing, and perhaps the emphases of the 2 creation accounts in Genesis (responsible management or 'dominion', and active care) may become more important. The paper examines a number of current developments in agriculture (synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, genetic manipulation, and organic versus industrial methodologies) and disc…
