Race in the Modern World
Few ideas have had a more powerful effect on the modern world than that of race, yet few ideas are less understood. Bringing together contributions from leading international scholars, this volume traces the crystallisation of this concept in western intellectual discourse in the eighteenth century, its rapid rise to prominence as a governing concept across the world from the mid-nineteenth through the mid-twentieth centuries, and its legacy from…
A data-informed multidimensional composite score for stress assessment
Occupations such as the military, emergency responders, and athletes demand acute physical, cognitive and psychosocial effort. Individuals in these roles face task-specific stressors, including extreme heat, sustained mental focus and performance under social pressure, resulting in variable stress responses. Comparing individual stress responses is challenging due to the complex physiological, cognitive, and emotional interactions. This study pre…
Notorious Footnotes
This article responds to criticisms levelled by Professor Jonathan Hearn at the University of Edinburgh's ‘Race Review’ in this issue. It reflects on historical method, the selection of evidence in service of larger arguments, and scholarly propriety
The Celts
A new history of the Celts that reveals how this once-forgotten people became a pillar of modern national identity in Britain, Ireland, and France Before the Greeks and Romans, the Celts ruled the ancient world. They sacked Rome, invaded Greece, and conquered much of Europe, from Ireland to Turkey. Celts registered deeply on the classical imagination for a thousand years and were variously described by writers like Caesar and Livy as unruly barba…

Sir James Mackintosh and the first linguistic survey of India, 1806–1811
This article recovers the history of the first systematic British attempts to survey the languages of India. Long before George Abraham Grierson proposed his monumental survey of Indian languages at the end of the nineteenth century, the Scottish judge James Mackintosh suggested a similar undertaking to the Literary Society of Bombay in 1806. This article follows those who pursued the project over the next several years. Their efforts stretched a…
Integrating Relational Frame Theory (RFT) and Verbal Behavior (VB) in Early Intervention
Applying relational frame theory (RFT) to language intervention programs allows behavior analysts to maintain a focus on programming for generative language by providing systematic multiple exemplar training to establish repertoires of derived relational responding. Applying Skinner’s analysis of verbal behavior provides for a focus on identifying sources of control for discriminated responding, and effective means of teaching early verbal operan…
The Effect of a Defusion Exercise Including a Hierarchical Procedure on Depressive Rumination
This study examined the effect of a defusion exercise with a hierarchical procedure in the context of depression, depressive rumination, and behavioral inflexibility. A total of 38 undergraduates were randomly assigned to either a defusion or control group. All participants answered questionnaires and engaged in a behavioral flexibility task before and after intervention. For the intervention, the defusion group engaged in a hierarchical defusion…

Assessing Temporal Relational Responding in Young Children
Relational frame theory (RFT) sees temporal relational responding (e.g., A is after B; B is before A) as a key operant skill involved in the understanding of time. From this perspective relating events temporally is important for everyday life situations such as sequencing events, planning, and talking about the past or future. The aim of the present research was to assess performance on a test of temporal relational responding in young children …

After Sir William Jones
This article addresses a long-standing question in European intellectual history: why, if Sir William Jones formulated the Indo-European idea in Calcutta in 1786, was it developed only by German scholars on the continent several decades later, and not by Jones’s compatriots? British scholars, it has been assumed, either failed to grasp the importance of this finding or were too absorbed in etymology as a tool for investigating the philosophy of m…

Anti-fat, pro-slim, or both
Two measures of implicit attitudes, the Implicit Relational Assessment Procedure (IRAP) and the Implicit Association Test (IAT), were compared with each other and with a measure of explicit attitudes in the assessment of implicit pro-slim/anti-fat bias. Results from both implicit tests indicated higher levels of bias than revealed by the explicit measure. The IRAP data suggested that it was participants' pro-slim rather than anti-fat bias, which …

A preliminary comparison of the efficacy of online Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) stress management interventions for social and healthcare workers
Social and healthcare workers have been shown to experience greater levels of illness, depression and burnout as a result of chronic workplace stress. The purpose of this study was to examine whether brief online ACT and CBT interventions could reduce the experience of stress and burnout in employees, while also improving mental health and psychological flexibility. A total of 42 individuals working within the social and healthcare professions we…
Comparing the effects of derived relational training and computer coding on intellectual potential in school-age children
BackgroundPrevious research found that pre-teenage ability to derive arbitrary 'same', 'opposite', 'more', and 'less' relations correlated with measured intelligence quotient (IQ) and that training this derived relational responding (DRR) skill produced substantial IQ rises.AimsThis study extended previous work by comparing the effects of DRR training (using strengthening mental abilities with relational training [SMART], an automated online trai…
Facial reactions reveal that slim is good but fat is not bad
Facial electromyography (EMG) was used to gauge emotional responding towards images of slim and overweight individuals, and findings were compared with data from a series of alternative measures including two implicit attitudinal procedures, the Implicit Relational Assessment Procedure (IRAP) and the Implicit Association Test (IAT), and explicit measures of anti‐fat prejudice and discriminatory behavior. Images of slim individuals elicited EMG re…
A Cornish vessel from farthest Kent
Trevisker pottery is a common Bronze Age type in Cornwall and the southwest of England. It is often well-made and with a distinct petrology. It was, however, traded in prehistory with some petrologically similar vessels being found in Brittany and northern France. Recently, a Cornish-style vessel made from Cornish clays has been located in eastern Kent, almost 500 km from its source

The last problem to which this note is addressed is whether the budget's proposed tax cuts are the most efficient way to foster the desired economic growth and promote price stability. There are alternative measures that could have been undertaken by the government especially with their enormous surplus of funds after the all-too-suc…

Man glaubt, daß der griechische Philosoph Platon mit diesem Satz seinen Glauben daran ausdrückte, daß das physikalische Universum durch Gesetze regiert wird, die in die Sprache der Mathematik gefaßt werden können. Man muß nicht an die Existenz einer personifizierten Gottheit glauben, um festzustellen, daß die Welt, in der wir leben, Muster und Gesetzmäßigkeiten besitzt, und um sich zu fragen, warum dies so ist. Doch Piatons Aussage ist knapp, poi…

Ego States and the Theory of Theory
This speech discusses the processes of reasoning that are entailed in the building of scientific models and sets forth some generally accepted principles of model building. The speaker emphasizes that a “good” model can only be defined in terms of its usefulness, which in turn can only be judged against the intended use of the model. A model can never be said to be “correct” or “incorrect.” In light of these principles, the speaker suggests a cri…
Epidemiology of recreational exposure to freshwater cyanobacteria – an international prospective cohort study
A significant increase in reporting of minor self-limiting symptoms, particularly respiratory symptoms, was associated with exposure to higher levels of cyanobacteria of mixed genera. We suggest that exposure to cyanobacteria based on total cell surface area above 12 mm2/mL could result in increased incidence of symptoms. The potential for severe, life-threatening cyanobacteria-related illness is likely to be greater in recreational waters that h…
