Cold War Asia
This innovative, interdisciplinary and international collection of essays offers fresh perspectives on the history of global diplomacy. Experts in history, international relations, art history and performance art have come together to examine a series of visual sources relating to Asia's role in global diplomacy during the Cold War. They explore how leaders, including Indonesia's Sukarno, the Philippines' Imelda Marcos and Thailand's King Bhumibo…
Une aire de chasse plurimillénaire à Bétheny
La fouille archéologique préventive réalisée sur le site du Champ de Manœuvre à Bétheny a permis la mise au jour d’une batterie de fosses profondes et étroites, organisées autour d’une ancienne mare. Ces fosses, dont certaines présentent des restes fauniques ou des négatifs de pieux en bois, ont vraisemblablement servi de pièges de chasse. Les datations couvrent un long intervalle chronologique entre la fin du Mésolithique et le Hallstatt. Les ét…
Mid-Late Quaternary Fluvial Archives near the Margin of the MIS 12 Glaciation in Southern East Anglia, UK
This paper presents an updated geological reconstruction of the Quaternary evolution of the River Thames at its downstream extremities, close to the North Sea coast, based on new data from multi-disciplinary and citizen-science sources. In this area, the interaction of the Thames with the MIS 12 (Anglian) glaciation is an important part of the Quaternary archive. The Anglian ice sheet, which reached parts of north and east London, was responsible…
Local-scale environmental gradients in ‘snail-shell’ stable isotopes from Holocene Jordanian archaeological sites
Reconstructing environments around archaeological sites is complicated by past land management practices and regional-scale climate proxies that can be contradictory and are often located at a distance from the sites themselves. Here we explore environmental information from fossil snail shells which, even when few in number on an archaeological site, may prove invaluable in constructing site-specific data. The palaeoecology of fossil snails and …
Interactive and Immersive Documentary Methods for Community Resilience & Disaster Reduction
Drawing on field research conducted by Professor Brian McAdoo, an environmental scientist at Yale-NUS College and Tom White, a freelance visual journalist who also teaches part-time at Yale-NUS this paper will explore how methods can be developed for emerging interactive documentary forms might contribute to the ways in which communities increase resilience and reduce losses when meeting the challenge of natural disasters and human-made environme…
Nothing to See Here? The Extension of Parent Company Liability in James Hardie Industries plc v White
In James Hardie Industries plc v White, the New Zealand Court of Appeal considered circumstances where a parent company could be directly liable for defective products produced by its subsidiary while upholding the principles behind separate corporate personality. The Court passed off the case as an unexceptional development in the law, based on an application of ordinary tort law principles and supported by decisions from overseas jurisdictions.…
Climate, Power, and Possible Futures, from the Banks of the Humber Estuary
Nayan Kulkarni’s Blade , Lucy and Jorge Orta’s Raft of the Medusa , and Nikolaj Bendix Skyum Larsen’s Quicksand were exhibited in Hull during its year as the 2017 UK City of Culture. These artworks provide the impetus for an article that moves between the local, national, and global, in order to connect visual culture, climate politics, and questions of citizenship and borders in a warming world. In the first section, I discuss how Blade —a wind …
Doctors Rule
Limited progress in nutrition policy action is often blamed on the close relationships the food industry has with health policy decision-makers. This analysis sought to examine this belief through the analysis of health ministers' diaries. Entries were downloaded from health ministers' diaries from two states in Australia from January 2013 to June 2018. Entries were coded according to which interest group met with the minister or whether general …
The Influence of Objectively Measured Physical Activity During Pregnancy on Maternal and Birth Outcomes in Urban Black South African Women
Objectives Research indicates the beneficial effects of physical activity during pregnancy on maternal health, although controversy still exists regarding its influence on birth outcomes. Little research has been done to objectively measure physical activity during pregnancy in black African women from low-to-middle income countries. The purpose of this study was to examine the association between physical activity and maternal and birth outcomes…

Large Scale Population Assessment of Physical Activity Using Wrist Worn Accelerometers
BACKGROUND: Physical activity has not been objectively measured in prospective cohorts with sufficiently large numbers to reliably detect associations with multiple health outcomes. Technological advances now make this possible. We describe the methods used to collect and analyse accelerometer measured physical activity in over 100,000 participants of the UK Biobank study, and report variation by age, sex, day, time of day, and season. METHODS: P…

Textile Logics of Late Medieval Romance
This essay examines some of the threads linking textiles, late medieval vernacular romance, and the manuscripts in which they survive. The metaphor of the fabric fold or gathering for the composition of romance evokes the shared Latin etymology of text and textile so familiar to medieval writers. What I here call the “textile logic” of romance opens out onto two further, related considerations. First, romances are themselves replete with textile …
The Middle Palaeolithic of the Nejd, Saudi Arabia
The Pleistocene archaeological record of the Arabian Peninsula is increasingly recognized as being of great importance for resolving some of the major debates in hominin evolutionary studies. Though there has been an acceleration in the rate of fieldwork and discovery of archaeological sites in recent years, little is known about hominin occupations in the Pleistocene over vast areas of Arabia. Here we report on the identification of five new Mid…
The Lived Experience of Depression in Elderly African American Women
African American women created a language for depression that was rooted in their personal and cultural history and presented in vivid vignettes through their life stories. Their belief systems and the language they used to describe depression are integral aspects of the lived experience of depression
NCH's Children in Danger campaign
This article describes the thinking behind the National Children's Home's (NCH) Children in Danger campaign which began in 1985. It discusses the difficulties and benefits for a service providing child care voluntary organisation involving itself in social policy campaigning. The reasons behind the campaign are outlined, its implementation and its effects both on the public and the organisation
