Can Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) Help Predict Unplanned Hospital Readmission
BACKGROUND: Administrative data used to predict unplanned hospital readmissions often lack patient-reported symptoms and functional status. Integrating patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) may improve risk prediction. OBJECTIVES: To assess the incremental value of PROMs in predicting unplanned readmissions to inform postdischarge monitoring and ongoing care management. METHODS: This population-based retrospective cohort study used linked adm…
Navigating risk and resilience
Communities across British Columbia, Canada, are experiencing direct and cumulative health impacts from extreme weather events, such as heatwaves and wildfires. These impacts exacerbate existing health disparities, especially for communities already vulnerable due to remote geography, socio-economic status, etc. Given this reality, it is valuable for community leaders (e.g., mayors and councillors) to have a sufficient understanding of the local …
The Development of Heritage Crime Policy and Enforcement Practice in the UK
Crime affecting our Heritage is as old as history itself. However, recognising it as Heritage Crime and having a coherent programme of activity to attempt to understand it and address it is relatively new. This paper summarises the history of these developments in the UK, focusing on the experience in England. It then provides examples of some of the challenges identified and the broad range of criminality that falls under this umbrella. It looks…

Russia’s Way of Building Mega Projects
Big infrastructure projects are a problem everywhere.In the abstract, everyone wants them.In practice, the problems multiply.A first surprise is how difficult it is to tell a great idea from a terrible one beforehand.Next, the unexpected costs and delays pile up.Every new road, reservoir, or power plant has buried someone's backyard or displaced their ancestors' burial plot.Construction drags out.A project that has overspent its budget with compl…

The Impact of reference pricing on prescribing patterns, costs, and health services utilization of proton pump inhibitors
INTRODUCTION: The Reference Drug Program (RDP) was established to steer patients toward equally safe and cost-effective medication under British Columbia's public drug coverage. Each RDP class covers at least one reference drug, and non-reference drugs are reimbursed up to the cost of the reference drug. In 2016, the RDP updated to include proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). This study evaluated the impact on drug expenditures, prescription patterns, …
From Social Visibility to Political Invisibility
The transition from authoritarianism to democracy has been a powerful impetus in research about Taiwan since the 1990s. Taiwan offered profound social, political, and cultural changes over that period for political science, cultural studies, anthropology and many other disciplines to explain and describe. The narrative of change has been, ultimately, modernity, and a wide range of scholarship has sought to account for the many ways Taiwan became …

Dictatorship and Daily Life in 20th Century Europe by Lisa Pine
Dictatorship and Daily Life provides short introductions to living under European dictators of both right and left, before and after World War II. The editor, Lisa Pine, is an author and social historian of Nazi Germany. The book, she writes, was inspired by hearing of a first-year history student who, when asked to compare fascism, Nazism, and Communism, did not know what to read.Eight chapters cover Fascist Italy (by Kate Ferris), Nazi Germany …

Oil and the great powers
With the twentieth century, oil became essential for war. Britain and Germany sought to assure their national requirements independently of the other great powers. Both failed. Germany lost two world wars. Britain won its wars but lost its peacetime dominance of the world economy. Oil and the Great Powers, by Anand Toprani, is a deeply researched and readable account of the role of oil in the twentieth century rivalry of the great powers. I discu…

A taxonomy of risk‐associated alternative health practices
Defining alternative health care and the recording of associated adverse events and harm remains problematic. This Canadian study aimed to establish and classify risk-associated alternative health practices in a Delphi study undertaken with an interdisciplinary panel of 17 health experts in 2020. It provides a new functional definition of alternative health care and an initial taxonomy of risk-associated alternative health care practices. A numbe…
A Dreadful Scourge
In 1817-21, the Indian subcontinent was ravaged by a series of epidemics which marked the beginning of what has since become known as the First Cholera Pandemic. Despite their far-reaching consequences, these epidemics have received remarkably little attention and have never been considered as historical subjects in their own right. This article examines the epidemics of 1817-21 in greater detail and assesses their significance for the social and…
Disenchantment in Taiwan
WHEN TAIWAN’S President Tsai Ing-wen came to power in a landslide election victory in January 2016, her supporters viewed her victory as expressing a truth about Taiwan being a progressive society. Tsai campaigned in support of indigenous reconciliation, same-sex marriage, and social equality. She had addressed her campaign rhetoric at Taiwan’s young people and spoken of economic opportunities in a globalised economy. Tsai’s win also went against…
Counting the Soviet Union’s War Dead
How many Soviet citizens died because of World War II? A new estimate of the Soviet war dead is 42 million. This figure, from Russian historian Igor’ Ivlev, is at least 15 million more than the 26–27 million previously estimated by Russian demographers Andreev, Darskii and Khar’kova and widely accepted for a quarter of a century. I consider the implications of the two estimates for the Soviet demographic accounts, contrast their sources and metho…

Forum 2
This essay proposes a new method for studying Taiwan, explains what it is and how it works, elaborates on the implications of this method, conceptually as well as practically, and invites discussion and debate. I have been calling this method relational comparison (Shih, 2013, 2015, 2016a, 2016b), which I think can help position Taiwan studies beyond the traditional area studies mode and into multiple interdisciplinary fields (such as American st…
Art, violence and memory in Taiwan
Taiwan is a liminal site of modernity in Asia. It is a modern exemplar as a liberal democracy with a developed economy, but is mostly unrecognized as a nation-state in the international system. In its liminality, however, it traces contours of modern power and their epistemological expression. This paper presents an account of Taiwan as an object of knowledge and representation in instances of scholarship and policy, Taiwanese politics, urban dev…

Climates and Constitutions
This is a study of European attitudes towards India's climate and their bearing on imperial expansion. It shows how growing fears about racial degeneration led to the abandonment of plans for white colonization and considers European strategies for coping with Indian climate, and explains the emergence of modern concepts of race
Chayanov and the economics of the Russian Peasantry
The years after 1900 saw the emergence of the "neo-populist" tradition as a leading tendency of economic thought in the study of the Russian peasantry. By the 1920s Aleksandr Vasil'evich Chayanov had become one of the most influential spokesmen of this tradition. His school was dispersed in 1930. But in the Western study of modern peasantries, his work is once more increasingly influential. The article considers Chayanov's place in the developmen…

The peasant mode of production in the work of A. V. Chayanov
Is there a peasant mode of production? Chayanov's work can be construed as a theory of the peasant mode of production at the level of the labour process. This labour process is analysed in terms of the forces of production, the relationship between the peasant and the means of production, and that between the peasant and the product. When subjected to an historical critique, from the point of view of the formation and decomposition of the peasant…
Science and the British Empire
The last few decades have witnessed a flowering of interest in the history of science in the British Empire. This essay aims to provide an overview of some of the most important work in this area, identifying interpretative shifts and emerging themes. In so doing, it raises some questions about the analytical framework in which colonial science has traditionally been viewed, highlighting interactions with indigenous scientific traditions and the …
Resource allocation and agrarian class formation
The relationship between social mobility processes and the development of bourgeois social classes in the pre-collective Russian peasantry has occupied an important place in recent discussion. On one level the discussion has concerned the 'specificity' of the peasantry; this is expressed in two quotations which preface the article. On another level discussion has concerned the use of agrarian statistics to establish the scale and significance of …
Chayanov and the marxists
Any school of social science with claims to historical significance must show itself able not only to understand the world but also to show how to change it. In this respect the Marxist theoretical tradition in peasant studies has sometimes proved inferior to bourgeois theory. This can be seen in the conflict between the Chayanov tradition and its Marxist critics, not only in Chayanov's time but also in our own. Suck a weakness of 'subordinate' M…

A Global Perspective
The emergence of global history has been one of the more notable features of academic history over the past three decades. Although historians of disease were among the pioneers of one of its earlier incarnations-world history-the recent "global turn" has made relatively little impact on histories of health, disease, and medicine. Most continue to be framed by familiar entities such as the colony or nation-state or are confined to particular medi…
Great War, Civil War, and Recovery
The last remaining gap in the national accounts of Russia and the USSR in the twentieth century, 1913 to 1928, includes the Great War, the Civil War, and postwar recovery. Filling this gap, we find that the Russian economy did somewhat better in the Great War than was previously thought; in the Civil War it did correspondingly worse; war losses persisted into peacetime, and were not fully restored under the New Economic Policy. We compare this ex…
Globalization, Nation, and Television in Asia
In the context of the globalization of television, India and China represent immensely attractive markets to the major corporations that provide television program content and services across borders and regions. However, globalizing pressures on both countries have achieved quite different kinds of liberalization. In the same process, local resistance and adaptation have opened up greater pluralism of cultural choices, as well as new forms of mo…
The frequency of wars1
Wars are increasingly frequent, and the trend has been steadily upward since 1870. The main tradition of western political and philosophical thought suggests that extensive economic globalization and democratization over this period should have reduced appetites for war far below their current level. This view is clearly incomplete: at best, confounding factors are at work. Here, we explore the capacity to wage war. Most fundamentally, the growin…

Coercion, compliance, and the collapse of the Soviet command economy
Are command systems that rest on coercion inherently unstable, and did the Soviet economy collapse for this reason? Until it collapsed, the Soviet economy did not appear unstable. Why, then, did it collapse? A game between a dictator and a producer shows that a high level of coercion may yield a stable high-output equilibrium, that stability may rest in part on the dictator's reputation, and that a collapse may be brought about by adverse trends …
The Soviet military‐economic effort during the second five‐year plan (1933–1937)
In our paper we aim to show the changing economic significance of defence outlays in \nthe period of the second five-year plan (1933-7).1 This period emerges as a time of \ntransition. Rapid rearmament had been begun during the first five-year plan (1928-32), \nbut from a very low base. In terms of the rising volume of activity, the following period \nwas less hectic. However, it was a period of exceptionally rapid change in military \ntechnology…
Tropical medicine in nineteenth-century India
It is customary to regard ‘tropical medicine’ as a product of the late nineteenth century, ‘its instrument the microscope, its epistemology the germ theory of disease’. The accepted interpretation is that tropical medicine was a European concept: originating in Britain and France and exported to the colonies by pioneering medical scientists. This interpretation is useful inasmuch as ‘tropical medicine’ as a discipline with its own journals, insti…

Post-war Russian economic growth
In a recent article Steven Rosefielde (2003) has advanced three propositions. He suggests that according to the best available statistics the post-war growth of the Russian economy under the command system was surprisingly good; in fact, he argues that it was too good. The standard for this judgement is economic theory, which holds that non-market systems must fail by comparison with market economies; Rosefielde associates specifically this view …
Accounting for Secrets
The Soviet dictatorship used secrecy to shield its processes from external scrutiny. A system of accounting for classified documentation assured the protection of secrets. The associated procedures resemble a turnover tax applied to government transactions. There is evidence of both compliance and evasion. The burden of secrecy was multiplied because the system was also secret and so had to account for itself. Unique documentation of a small regi…
Plans, Prices, and Corruption
On the basis of new historical research on the Soviet command system we analyze the choices of a plan-setter and an effort-setter who interacted with each other and an external market to determine real output, hidden inflation, and the quality of corruption. We show that the performance of the Soviet economy was affected not only by the level of corruption but also by its quality, that is, how corrupt incomes were used. Our results explain rapid …
Counting Soviet Deaths in the Great Patriotic War
Michael Haynes has pointed out that the conventional methodology for estimating the \nnumber of Soviet war deaths provides only a lower limit. It calculates wartime \n“excess” deaths, assuming that no one was killed by the war who would normally \nhave died anyway; this sets a lower bound on the number of real war deaths that may \nhave resulted directly or indirectly from enemy action. Where is the upper limit? \nHaynes proposes the 16 million t…

The Soviet Economy in the 1920s and 1930s
In the history of Soviet studies in Britain, Marxist ideas and influences have always been an undercurrent. This undercurrent has sometimes acted as a positive force; sometimes it has been merely argumentative and factitious. But it has never escaped its subordinacy. Individual Marxists have worked in isolation, reliant upon the research, the formulations and the good will of non-Marxist colleagues. For the most part the influence of Marxism has …

Soviet Primary Accumulation Processes
The ides of 'primary' (sometimes called 'primitive') socialist accumulation was first developed by Preobrazhensky, the Bolshevik economist and spokesman for the Trotskyist opposition in the USSR in the 1920's. The idea was based on an analogy with Mark's writing on primary capitalist accumulation. Primary capitalist accumulation meant the initial phase of growth in which the capitalist elements of the economy developed at the expense of the pre-c…

It is nearly twenty years since the seminal discussions of the English crowd by Hobsbawm, Rose, Rudé and Thompson, and almost forty years since Wear mouth's extraordinary catalogue of eighteenth-century disturbances. 1 These studies established that if we examined the composition, organization, objectives and beliefs of eighteenth-century crowds, then we would find them to have been informed, disciplined, and in possession of broad notions of the…
Primary accumulation in the Soviet transition
The Soviet background to the idea of primary socialist accumulation is presented. The mobilisation of labour power and of products into public sector investment from outside are shown to have been the two original forms of the concept. In Soviet primary accumulation the mobilisation of labour power was apparently more decisive than the mobilisation of products. The primary accumulation process had both intended and unintended results. Intended re…
