Sectarian Sound and Cultural Identity in Northern Ireland
Sound is a key symbol in the construction of identity in Northern Ireland. However, if one is growing up in a divided society such as Northern Ireland, the making of meaning through sound attains a duality whereby some sounds connote one's own people and some connote the 'other'. The theoretical problem of expressing this 'third space' is addressed by Papastergiadis in an essay that offers a means of explaining how the complexities of the Norther…
Shallow peat is most vulnerable to high peat burn severity during wildfire
Peatlands typically act as carbon sinks, however, increasing wildfire severity and annual area burned may challenge this carbon sink status. Whilst most peat resistance to wildfire and drought research is based on deep peatlands that rarely lose their water table below the peat profile, shallow peatlands and peat deposits may be most vulnerable to high peat burn severity and extensive carbon loss. To examine the role of pre-fire peat depth on pea…
The influence of system heterogeneity on peat-surface temperature dynamics
Temperatures at the soil–atmosphere interface influence ecosystem function by driving nonlinear terrestrial biogeochemical, ecohydrological, and micrometeorological processes. Whilst climate, soil and vegetation controls on spatially average ecosystem temperatures are recognised, how interacting and heterogeneous ecosystem layers create spatio-temporal complex thermal ecosystems has not been determined. Such thermal hot spots and hot moments may …
The biophysical climate mitigation potential of boreal peatlands during the growing season
Peatlands and forests cover large areas of the boreal biome and are critical for global climate regulation. They also regulate regional climate through heat and water vapour exchange with the atmosphere. Understanding how land-atmosphere interactions in peatlands differ from forests may therefore be crucial for modelling boreal climate system dynamics and for assessing climate benefits of peatland conservation and restoration. To assess the bioph…
Peer teaching medical students during a pandemic
Our personal views about the challenges of continuing to deliver peer teaching during a pandemic. We are a group of 4 th year medical students who are part of a student society which has delivered structured, highly formulaic peer-led teaching sessions for the past three years. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the reduced access to our normal clinical teaching highlighted the importance of peer-led teaching sessions. We wanted to continue with our p…
COPD and Rural Health
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a complex lung disease characterized by airways inflammation and lung tissue remodeling, leading to loss of small airways and emphysema.1 It is the fourth leading cause of death in the United States, responsible for more than 150,000 deaths yearly.2 More than 15 million people have been diagnosed with COPD and, compared to 4.7% in large metropolitan areas, a staggering 8.2% of those living in rural …
Weber, Max (1864–1920)
Maximilian ‘Max’ Karl Emil Weber was born on April 21, 1864 in Erfurt, Prussia (present-day Germany), and is a prominent figure in the emergence of sociology as an academic discipline. He is best known for the concept of the ‘iron cage’ (or ‘steel-hard casing’: stahlhartes Gehäuse) of modernity, which he introduced in his essay ‘Die protestantische Ethik und der Geist des Kapitalismus’ (‘The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism’), which …
Harmful and Undesirable
Did enhanced afforestation cause high severity peat burn in the Fort McMurray Horse River wildfire
Climate change mediated drying of boreal peatlands is expected to enhance peatland afforestation and wildfire vulnerability. The water table depth–afforestation feedback represents a positive feedback that can enhance peat drying and consolidation and thereby increase peat burn severity; exacerbating the challenges and costs of wildfire suppression efforts and potentially shifting the peatland to a persistent source of atmospheric carbon. To addr…

Big Data and structural organisation in major arts bodies
This article addresses the use and impact of the so-called Big Data on arts organisations. The article argues that arts bodies have been slower than some business sectors to enter the data sphere and to contribute to the key debates even though many arts organisations have been developing data systems as a means of responding to the demands of funding bodies for more concrete measurement of impact. The article tests this hypothesis by examining t…
Gemeinschaft als Erfahrung
Surveying modern social ties in the final quarter of the nineteenth century, the father of German sociology, Ferdinand Tönnies, proposed an influential dichotomy between society (Gesellschaft), marked by the impersonal and the instrumental, and community (Gemeinschaft), deriving from personal social interactions, often age-old in character. This typology was taken up by Max Weber thirty years later, who emphasized the affective components of comm…
The Truth about the Concentration Camps’
This article examines the international debate on the violence of the first year of the National Socialist regime by focusing on the Anti-Brown Book written by storm troop leader Werner Schäfer in 1934. Schäfer’s text is unique as the only book-long propaganda justification of a concentration camp to be written during the lifetime of the Third Reich by a serving commandant. Analysing this text in depth for the first time, the article presents the…
‘It’s a bit of a generalisation, but …’
This paper reports on domestic and international students’ perceptions of the influence of group diversity on communication, learning, task performance and assessment grades. The study’s methodology involved quantitative and qualitative analysis of surveys (N = 312), focus group interviews of students (n = 26) and individual staff interviews (N = 7). More domestic (79%) than international (29%) students stated that they preferred working with stu…

Subscribing to publicity
This article charts how movies were integrated into the existing popular print culture of weekend newspapers in North America between 1911 and 1915. Neither the movie theatre nor the newspaper should be given priority as the primary site of cinema culture. The practice of reading a newspaper’s film page would be incomplete without a trip to join the mass audience at a movie theatre; conversely, a moviegoer’s pleasure could be whetted by the print…
The grand opening of the movie theatre in the second birth of cinema
This article brings Gaudreault and Marion's framework for the 'second birth' of cinema into the realm of film exhibition. From the perspective of an ordinary person in the mass public, the experience of cinema is reborn daily through feature films shown at the movie theatre. Asking 'What is a cinema?' rather than 'What is cinema?', I propose that cinema's second birth comes with the grand opening of the first moving picture theatres. For its firs…

Social Capital at Work
This article argues that a common organizational practice-the hiring of new workers via employee referrals-provides key insights into the notion of social capital. Employers who use such hiring methods are quintessential "social capitalists," viewing workers' social connections as resources in which they can invest in order to gain economic returns in the form of better hiring outcomes. Identified are three ways through which such returns might b…
Everybody's Going
The emergence of the mass market as a concept ordering distinctions in urban space is investigated through newspaper reporting and promotion of early movie‐going in Toronto, 1907–1916. The analysis builds upon a revision of Chicago Sociology's text on The City, shifting the method and theoretical weight to rest more on Park's Natural History of the Newspaper than Burgess' Growth of the City. The metropolitan newspaper is both document and agent o…
Speaking Fundamental Frequency Characteristics of 15, 16 and 17 Year-Old Girls
The purpose of this research was to obtain speaking fundamental frequency data on a large number of high-school age girls in order to determine the age at which adult female speaking fundamental frequencies are established. Forty-four 15 year-olds, 115 16 year-olds and 148 17 year-olds were recorded reading a standard passage. The mean fundamental frequencies for these age groups were 207.5, 207.3 and 207.8 c.p.s., respectively. These results ind…

And What Concentration Camps Those Were!’
This article examines nazi propaganda on non-German ‘concentration camps’ in the years 1933—9. It shows how the regime publicized internment facilities in Austria, the Soviet Union and South Africa during the Boer War for rhetorical effect. This examination is placed within the context of extensive nazi propaganda concerning Germany’s own camps, demonstrating that the two propaganda strands worked not contrary to each other, but rather in a mutua…
General-Purpose Aid in New York State
This article explores key questions about targeted versus distributive aid policies within the context of New York's general-purpose state aid program. Development of that program over the past forty years shows ebbs and flows of support for both targeted and distributive approaches. Intense policy debates concerning local fiscal policies occur as part of annual state budget negotiations, although recently, New York policymakers have favored targ…

Learning and teaching in virtual worlds
Though Virtual Reality is at a relatively rudimentary stage of development, many argue it is destined to influence both educational theory and practice. Active research into the educational implications of VR for education is underway and mainly focuses on the phenomena related to the immersion of individuals in a simulated environment. This paper surveys the research into VR and focuses on the implications of immersive virtual worlds for learnin…
From the Semiotics of Sight to the Semiotics of Sound
This article argues that the study of sound has been neglected in relation to visual imagery. Despite the potential of sound and radio for creative and challenging production/art work (a potential recognised by many of the avant-garde artists of the twentieth century), there has been a tendency to teach sound as a complement for visual production or through the accepted radio conventions. This article uses the work of R. Murray Schafer and Theo V…

Legacy
This article examines the importance of radio in the context of public service broadcasting in Northern Ireland. It analyses the strategies used by BBC Northern Ireland to engage with the problems of the last thirty years, and argues that technological and audience developments have produced a new listening environment that demands new modes of broadcast address. The Legacy series, broadcast in Northern Ireland during 1999, is used as a case stud…

The Globe on Saturday, The World on Sunday
Between 1886 and 1895, the Sunday newspaper in U.S. cities became a cauldron for an emerging mass, popular culture—one with reach into Canada. The concurrent development of weekend newspapers in Toronto, Canada, distinguished local innovations against the unspecified, general influence of the “American Sunday paper.” The Sunday World and the Saturday Globe followed and refuted, respectively, the ideal set by the American Sunday paper, but togethe…
From the Bogside to Namibia
This article has evolved from the author's continuing relationship, as a broadcaster and trainer, with two so-called community radio stations. One is a community station according to accepted definitions of the global community radio movement, and the other is an example of community radio in a public service environment. Both, the article argues, fail their communities through being too closely associated with the norms and practices that have s…
