A holistic approach to assessing Redd+ forest loss baselines through ex post analysis
The implementation of REDD+ (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation) projects has become a key Nature Based Solutions strategy to protect at-risk forests using the sale of verified emission reductions (carbon credits) as financing, generated by reducing forest loss against counterfactual baseline scenarios. Controversy over the reasonableness of such baseline scenarios has thrown this nascent market mechanism into disarray. …
The Peak Dwellers Revisited
Artist and Patrons
This article will consider certain art objects and underlying acts of patronage in the waning days of the ancien regime in Europe, partly through a trifecta of personalities who either produced or consumed art. Michel-Paul-Joseph Dewez (1742–1804) was a Brussels goldsmith and bronze caster; James Lockhart (1727–1790) was a Scottish military officer in the Austrian service and a court official; and Prince Charles Alexandre of Lorraine (1712–1780) …
Invasion, Replacement and Colonial Anxiety in The War of the Worlds
British novelist Herbert George Wells’ 1897 science-fiction novel The War of the Worlds is a story about an invasion of the planet Earth by extraterrestrial beings. The novel is Wells’ reaction to his firsthand witnessing of the horrors of British colonialism. Seeing what travesties humans were capable of inflicting on other humans, the story is a projection of colonial anxiety. On 30 October 1938, American theatre director and filmmaker Orson We…
Covid-19 Vaccine Effectiveness against the Omicron (B.1.1.529) Variant
BACKGROUND: A rapid increase in coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) cases due to the omicron (B.1.1.529) variant of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 in highly vaccinated populations has aroused concerns about the effectiveness of current vaccines. METHODS: We used a test-negative case-control design to estimate vaccine effectiveness against symptomatic disease caused by the omicron and delta (B.1.617.2) variants in England. Vaccine…
Knowledge of the temporal structure of events in relation to autistic traits and social ability
Event knowledge, a person's understanding of patterns of activities in the world, is crucial for everyday social interactions. Social communication differences are prominent in autism, which may be related to atypical event knowledge, such as atypical knowledge of the sequences of activities that comprise the temporal structure of events. Previous research has found that autistic individuals have atypical event knowledge, but research in this are…
Covid-19
This chapter delves into the intricate dynamics of the mother-child bond during and after maternal incarceration, using Ethiopia as its locus. It examines the various forms of contact—permanent, partial, and broken—between incarcerated mothers and their children, analysing the implications through the lens of attachment theory. The harsh conditions of Ethiopian prisons, characterised by overcrowding and inadequate resources, are explored for thei…
Effectiveness of Covid-19 Vaccines against the B.1.617.2 (Delta) Variant
Background The B.1.617.2 (delta) variant of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the virus that causes coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19), has contributed to a surge in cases in India and has now been detected across the globe, including a notable increase in cases in the United Kingdom. The effectiveness of the BNT162b2 and ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccines against this variant has been unclear. Methods We used a test-negati…
The History and Conceptual Elements of Critical Race Theory
The Supreme Court’s unanimous 1954 opinion in Brown v. Board of Education overturned the doctrine of “separate but equal” embraced by the Court in its infamous 1896 Plessy v. Ferguson decision. The Brown decision ushered in a dramatic 15-year period of unprecedented legal, political, economic, and educational measures directed towards dismantling the structures of racism and oppression instituted as a result of segregation. All of the law profess…

Sustainable forest biomass
Forest biomass harvesting guidelines help ensure the ecological sustainability of forest residue harvesting for bioenergy and bioproducts, and hence contribute to social license for a growing bioeconomy. Guidelines, typically voluntary, provide a means to achieve outcomes often required by legislation, and must address needs related to local or regional context, jurisdictional compatibility with regulations, issues of temporal and spatial scale, …
Sars-CoV-2 infection in London, England
Background The UK has been one of the European countries most affected by COVID-19 pandemic. The UK implemented a lockdown in March 2020, when testing policy at the time was focusing on hospitalised cases. Limited information is therefore available on the impact of the lockdown on point prevalence in the community. We assessed COVID-19 point prevalence in London between early April and early May 2020, which approximately reflect infection around …

Reenvisioning Pay for Play
California recently passed the Fair Pay to Play Act, allowing college athletes to be paid for endorsements, making income off of their likeness. While many people are heralding this bill, we propose that sports revenue could be used to decrease the racial education gap in the local communities that are often preyed upon by elite sports programs
Karaoke Instagram
In this study, I compare and contrast online and offline performances of karaoke and ask, what are the material phenomena associated with the two practices? How are they different and/or the same? What does this tell us about the connection between performance and technology, especially in relation to amateur singing and its mediatized forms? Following this mode of enquiry, I find that examples of online and offline karaoke provide useful insight…
El Desarrollo Local. Teoría Y Práctica. Reintroducir Lo Humano en La Lógica Del Desarrollo
Using this epidemiologic approach, which can be applied to current and future pandemics, we have identified a variety of target drugs and drug classes that could offer therapeutic benefit in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and may warrant further validation. Some of these agents (eg, fluoxetine) have already been identified for their therapeutic potential
The dream medium
In the late 1920s, American scenic designer Robert Edmond Jones conceived of the ‘New Theatre’, a hybrid art form created through the combination of theatre and cinema. For Jones, this strategy’s function was to illuminate what he called the ‘dual nature’ of humanity. By examining Jones’ largely ignored and forgotten writings on what he called ‘the dream medium’, we can gain insight into new ways of utilizing combinations of living actors and med…
Oceanic Geographies
Caridad Svich describes The Orphan Sea as ‘a waterscape play’. She wrote the piece and I directed its world premiere at the University of Missouri during the autumn of 2014. Then, during the summer of 2015, I directed and performed in a staged, telematic reading of the play as part of the North Atlantic cluster of the Performance Studies international (PSi) ‘Fluid States’ conference. The theme of the meeting was ‘telematic presence’. Events were …
Karaoke Idols
Most ethnographers don t achieve what Kevin Brown did while conducting their research: in his two years spent at a karaoke bar near Denver, Colorado, he went from barely able to carry a tune to someone whom other karaoke patrons requested to sing. Along the way, he learned everything you might ever want to know about karaoke and the people who enjoy it. The result is Karaoke Idols, a close ethnography of life at a karaoke bar that reveals just wh…

Involvement in sport and social connectedness
This paper explores the relationship between involvement in sport and non-sport community organisations and social connectedness. Data were collected on types of community involvement, selected demographic variables and social connectedness. The findings support the contention that involvement in sport organisations is associated with increased levels of social connectedness. Sport involvement was found to be a predictor of social connectedness, …
What It Was Like to Live through a Day
Transitional justice mechanisms designed to deal with the past can collide with or be amplified by localized ‘everyday’ memory work in divided societies. This article argues that transitional justice actors need to take more account of the rich, dense and pervasive forms of memory in divided societies, which can provide insight into postconflict narratives and how they impact on transitional processes, how memory entrepreneurs can advance claims …

Force Multipliers”
Following humanitarian disasters, does the presence of both military and civilian international nongovernmental organization (INGO) interveners help or harm human security outcomes? This article argues that INGOs and military interventions can individually aid in less complex human security outcomes, while for more complex human security outcomes, joint INGO and military interventions can have a “force multiplier” effect. The implications of this…
Active Citizenship

It is based on an empirical study involving 1,610 respondents across 11 towns in six countries. The study explored how active citizenship is manifested, by gathering data on attitudes towards social changes and the forms and practices of active citizenship. There are two major, and apparently contradict…

Auslander's robot
In a challenge to our notions of what constitutes live performance, Philip Auslander illustrates his discussion through the technology of the ‘chatterbot’. Auslander intimates that the ontological origin of the performer is not of primary importance when deciding whether or not a performance can be considered ‘live.’ To explore this crisis, I propose that we imagine a hypothetical machine, a theoretical construct inspired by Auslander's suggestio…

The Reintegration of Sex Offenders
The process of reintegration of offenders after release from prison, or during a community sentence, is a key aim of criminal justice policy. This article provides details from recent research that investigated the barriers and opportunities to employment for sex offenders. The authors describe the barriers that are faced by sex offenders and the anxieties that employers experience when employing sex offenders. The authors conclude that the appro…
The Auslander Test
In ‘Live from Cyberspace: Or, I was sitting at my computer this guy appeared he thought I was a bot’, Philip Auslander asserts that there is a ‘crisis’ created by the invention of new digital technologies. Herbert Blau responds to Auslander in ‘The Human Nature of the Bot’. At the crux of the debate is the following question: is performance a specifically human activity? The digital technology that has precipitated this crisis, the chatterbot, is…

Trifling Things? The Sara Lewes MemorialLepelandVork
A case study of the Sara Lewes memorial vork (fork) and lepel (spoon), rare survivals in silver from the seventeenth century made in a Dutch colony in about 1672 to commemorate the decease of a woman named Sara Lewes, considers how these objects may have been produced, consumed and valued in the context of early modern trade networks. In the Dutch Auricular style, this cutlery serves as our starting point for a wide-ranging consideration of the c…

Mercury at Oak Ridge
Risk evaluations play an important role in environmental management, remediation and restoration. Yet when different agencies and groups evaluate risk, the objectives and methods may differ, leading to different conclusions, which can confuse managers, policy-makers and the public. In this paper, we examine two evaluations of the potential risk from mercury contamination deriving from the Y-12 facility at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge Rese…
