Using Response Cards to Increase Active Responding During Zoom Instruction in Students With Disability in a Postsecondary Classroom
Inclusive Postsecondary Education programs are designed to provide students with disabilities the opportunity to seek postsecondary education while receiving explicit instruction and support in social and emotional, independent living, and vocational skills. While students enroll in college classes, there is little research available for how to support student learning in postsecondary education classrooms. This study is designed to extend resear…

Capturing the shifting work of teaching in higher education through postcards of practice
Amongst the rapid and continual changes occurring in higher education is a heightened emphasis on teaching and the emergence of a quality teaching discourse.In tandem, we are living through a time where not only circumstances, but also new, more complex technologies continue to disrupt and challenge the ways teaching occurs.Despite various initiatives and compliance mechanisms, trust in notions of quality, accountability and scholarship related t…
Understanding allostasis
Optimal performance lies at intermediate autonomic arousal, but no previous research has examined whether the emergence of endogenous control associates with changes in children's up-regulation from hypo-arousal, as well as down-regulation from hyper-arousal. We used wearables to take day-long recordings from N = 58, 12-month-olds (60% white/58% female); and, in the same infants, we measured self-regulation in the lab with a still-face paradigm. …
Enacted spaces of peer learning
This article attends to practices of peer learning among international students on and around an Australian university campus. Informed by posthuman theories, we frame peer learning as a relational process that is entangled with objects, bodies, technologies, spaces and materialities. Our analysis pays attention to the vitality of various spaces and the pedagogic practices they call forth. In doing so, it differs from educational theorising that …
Fit Objects of Beneficence
This article explores Victorian concerns about the middle-class insane after the 1845 Lunacy Acts which promoted rate-supported provision for pauper lunatics. Calls for appropriate and affordable care for those of middle-class status grew after 1845 and encompassed public, charitable and private initiatives. A key priority was to ensure that insanity did not pauperise those from the middle class but also that they could access support without los…
What roles might automation play in the future of public administration journal peer review processes
Publishing in journals is crucial in the creation of knowledge within the public administration field and the career advancements of individuals. Each year, more articles enter journal publishing systems, and it is becoming more difficult and time consuming for editors to secure reviewers. A range of technological applications have been developed that apply automation techniques to various aspects of the peer review process and these are explored…
The alternate infrastructures that support digital counter publics
In this paper we interrogate how digital technologies and practices contribute to imaginaries of counter cities by telling the stories of people who navigate digital inequality. Digital inequality offers a lens onto the ways in which the privatised provision of services reshapes opportunities for collective organising. Digital technologies are commonly viewed as useful tools for collective organising, overlooking the fact that digital products ar…
Empowering Families Through Technology
The TANDem project has the potential to transform the global TSC community by empowering families living with TSC through an easily accessible digital solution to allow them to document their own TAND needs linked to an evidence-informed toolkit to enhance personalised healthcare, and by providing healthcare professionals with consensus clinical recommendations to prevent, identify and manage TAND manifestations
We’re Still Struggling a Bit to Actually Figure Out What That Means for Government”
Many countries are experiencing a "care crisis" driven by increasing demand for care services alongside difficulties in recruiting and retaining an appropriate care workforce. One of the solutions offered to this is the use of robotic technologies. While there are several positives produced by robots, they are not without challenges and have the potential to be misused. History shows disruptive technologies require appropriate policy capacity for…
Happiness, Competition, and Not Necessarily Arrogance in Kant
Kant held that human beings are competitive and not very good at living together in harmony. He also held that the principle of one’s own happiness is the central opponent of the principle of morality. According to Allen Wood, these claims are related: the competitive tendencies Kant attributes to human nature reveal, according to Wood, that the very shape of our human idea of happiness is derived from a deep-seated arrogance, incompatible with m…
Exploring governance tensions of disruptive technologies
Robots are increasingly appearing as a potential answer to the ‘care crisis’ facing a number of countries. Although it is anticipated that many positives will flow from the application of these technologies, they are also likely to generate unexpected consequences and risks. This paper explores the use of robots within disability and aged care settings in the Australian and New Zealand contexts. Informed by thirty-five semi-structured interviews …
The importance of social supports in education
Emergency situations such as pandemics typically widen inequities, and Australian children and young people with disability already face significant inequities in the education system. In this paper we draw on survey data from over 700 respondents exploring education experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic. Many families reported being left behind, finding it difficult to access education remotely, and that this was having a significant impact o…
Flexibility in individual funding schemes
Individualized funding schemes are designed to offer people with disability greater choice and control over the services they receive. In this research, we report on a survey of over 700 families to explore how Australia's National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) supported children and young people and their families to learn remotely during COVID‐19. NDIS funding to support education during the first COVID‐19 lockdown period forms an importan…
Activist dispositions for social justice in advantaged and disadvantaged contexts of schooling
This article advances current conceptions of teacher activism through an exploration of the social justice dispositions of teachers in advantaged and disadvantaged contexts of schooling. We interrogate the practices of teachers in a government school, with a high proportion of refugee students and students from low socio-economic backgrounds, in a high-fees, multi-campus independent school, and in a disadvantaged Systemic Catholic school to illus…
Calling Time on Oronsay
For over 120 years, the shell middens of western Scotland and the series of open-air sites on Oronsay have been the focus of debate in European Mesolithic studies. This paper challenges the significance of Oronsay in light of results from the geophysical survey and test-excavation of a new limpet and periwinkle shell midden dated to the late 5th or start of the 4th millennium cal bc at Port Lobh, Colonsay that offers fresh evidence to re-evaluate…
Metaphor as a methodological tool
This article investigates the social justice dispositions of teachers and principals in secondary schools as inferred from their metaphoric expressions. Drawing on a Bourdieuian account of disposition, our focus is the use of metaphor as a methodological tool to identify and reveal these otherwise latent forces within our data. Our analysis shows evidence of redistributive, recognitive and activist conceptions of social justice. We argue that the…
Cathcart Castle, Glasgow – Excavations 1980–81
Excavations on the site of the tower-house at Cathcart, demolished in 1980, produced evidence for the construction of the tower and associated barmkin, dated to the mid 15th century. No earlier structural remains were found but residual pottery suggests that the site was occupied prior to the construction of the tower. The interior of the tower was remodeled in circa 1630–40 in brickwork, an early dated example of the use of this material in Scot…

An archaeological excavation of a medieval fishermen's midden at Castle Hill Pumping Station, Banff
An archaeological excavation in the footprint of a proposed pumping station at the foot of the seaward slope of Castle Hill, Banff, revealed the remains of a late medieval coastal processing centre. Several features were uncovered including an extensive spread of midden material dating between the 11 th and 13 th centuries, a series of shallow enclosure ditches and a later rectangular building. Contained within the midden were knives, animal and …
Altered Hippocampal Lipid Profile Following Acute Postnatal Exposure to Di(2-Ethylhexyl) Phthalate in Rats
Slight changes in the abundance of certain lipid species in the brain may drastically alter normal neurodevelopment via membrane stability, cell signalling, and cell survival. Previous findings have demonstrated that postnatal exposure to di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) disrupts normal axonal and neural development in the hippocampus. The goal of the current study was to determine whether postnatal exposure to DEHP alters the lipid profile in …

Dogs, cats and horses in the Scottish medieval town
Scottish medieval urban sites excavated over the last two decades have provided abundant evidence of the animals which were exploited by human populations. This paper is concerned with three domesticated species – the dog, cat and horse – and reviews the nature of their relationships with town dwellers. The majority of the excavations reviewed here were funded either wholly or in part by Historic Scotland, in conjunction with the Manpower Service…
Doctors that Harm, Doctors that Heal
This article explores the fears and desires that conflict survivors invest in biomedicine in post-conflict Aceh, Indonesia. After examining common criticisms of Acehnese doctors, I go on to discuss the practise of Acehnese medical travel to Malaysia and the desirable depictions of biomedicine that are generated through cross-border clinical encounters. Building on Pinto [2004. Development Without Institutions: Ersatz Medicine and the Politics of …
The development of a medieval street frontage
In advance of redevelopment, an excavation was carried out in 1992 by the Scottish Urban Archaeological Trust Ltd (SUAT) at 80-86 High Street, Perth.Three burgageplots were identified on this prime street frontage site, with medieval occupation spanning some three centuries from the mid-to late 12th century through to the late 14th or early 15th century.Structural remains were not well represented, but there was significant evidence for small-sca…

Absenteeism in an Organizational Context
Research on absenteeism has led to the development of models that emphasize individual-level variables of satisfaction and job involvement but fail to recognize the social framework of absenteeism. Most studies investigate chiefly blue-collar workers in fairly routinized jobs; few studies cross industrial and occupational lines to white-collar or professional work. Our social model examines absenteeism in terms of alternatives available to employ…

Phrases in literary contexts
This paper addresses relations between lexico-grammatical patterns and texts. Our focus is on a specific linguistic unit, the ‘suspended quotation’ (or ‘suspension’), which has received particular attention in Dickens studies. The suspended quotation refers to an interruption of a fictional character’s speech by the narrator with a sequence of at least five words. We show how corpus linguistic methods can help to systematically study suspensions …

Built to last
A programme of archaeological investigations undertaken in advance of the Forth Replacement Crossing, at Castlandhill on Rosyth and Echline Fields in South Queensferry, revealed archaeological features dating from the Mesolithic to medieval periods, including Neolithic Grooved Ware and Impressed Ware pottery dating to the 4th to 3rd millennium BC. The principal focus of this paper is the Mesolithic remains, which are of major significance for the…
Family, community and the Victorian asylum
This article explores how the medicalization of poverty in 19th-century aetiologies of insanity provided the basis for which the Northampton General Lunatic Asylum became an option for the relief and treatment of the poor. It is argued that the poor, their communities and poor law officials, by being key to the process of committal, were partially responsible for the asylum population and the role that the asylum played in the local community. Th…
Urban renaissance and consumer revolution in Nottingham, 1688–1750
This article looks at ways of relating together two concepts of early modern urban life: the urban renaissance and the consumer revolution. Nottingham passed through a process of urban renewal between c. 1688 and c. 1750, and it is argued that in the absence of any public funding this must have been privately pioneered by the town's ‘middling sort’. Using probate inventory material the members of this social group are identified, and their habits…
Burgage plots of medieval Perth
Excavations undertaken in 1985 revealed four burgage plots with occupation spanning the mid-thirteenth to the early-fifteenth centuries. Evidence for malting, in the form of a kiln and coble, was recovered in an area relatively undeveloped until the eighteenth century. There are specialist reports on:`The pottery' by Peter Cheer (712--18); `The artefacts' by Adrian Cox (718--24) including a note on the `Coins' by Nicholas Holmes (724); `Animal bo…
Backland activities in medieval Perth
Two excavations within the medieval burgh provided the opportunity to investigate an early industrial zone on the western side of Meal Vennel and a relatively rich undeveloped area in the backlands of Scott Street. The artefact rich Meal Vennel excavation revealed evidence of a possible early western boundary of the town, timber and stone buildings and industrial activities including grain drying and iron smithing. Backland activities including s…

Metalwork, animal bones, pottery, palaeobotany
Structural Persistence in Proactive Organizations
Data from 36 well-established services and newly formed proactive agencies offering some services to adult rape victims are used to test our arguments that proactive organizations more than other service agencies use volunteers, make use of personal referrals to specific individuals in serving clients, educate the public, and secure more commitment of staff to the task or goals of the agency and less to the specific agency itself. We question lif…
Do Legitimacy of Supervisor and Reward Contingency Interact in Prediction of Work Behavior
The study examined the importance of different bases of legitimacy of authority upon conformity and performance of temporary employees engaged in a realistic technical task. Task supervisors varied in apparent technical and administrative expertise. The contingency of rewards upon performance was systematically varied to separate the impact of expected reward contingency from variations in bases of legitimacy. Subjects were hired as temporary wor…

Lesbian mothers and their children
Forty children ages five to 12, divided equally into groups according to their mothers' sexual object choice and within group by sex, were assessed by a research team. Gender development of the children was not identifiably different in the two groups. Prevalence of disturbance among the children was not found to be a function of the mother's sexual object choice. Case material is used to illustrate the variety and complexity of the issues involv…

Impacts of a Deprofessionalized Service Model
Do communities recognize and respond to deprofessionalized models of police service? This study tracks newspaper coverage of police and safety issues during an experimental foot patrol program. Content analysis of nonnews items confirms that police are evaluated more positively, depicted as more active but not made more visible overall after the first full year of program operation. The need for more community-level evidence of police impact is c…

The Dimensionality of Type A Behavior within a Stressful Work Simulation
The present study was conducted to examine the dimensionality of overt Type A behaviors elicited in a simulated stressful work environment. University students played a managerial role while being subjected to time and work‐load pressures, and completed the Survey of Work Styles (SWS; Jackson & Gray, 1989). Eighteen behaviors, coded by two raters based on audiovisual recordings, yielded relatively high interrater reliabilities. Principal componen…
