Pandemic play spaces
Internationally, multiple cities introduced temporary solutions to provide safe opportunities for children to play during the COVID-19 crisis. This article unpacks the politics encountered by place-based actors involved in the creative reuse of urban spaces for children during the pandemic in four cities internationally. Focusing on the longer-term influence of interim solutions for urban play, findings demonstrate temporary play projects afford …
Assessing the environmental implications of sustainable public procurement of food
Sustainable public procurement (SPP) is increasingly recognized as a policy tool to improve the environmental performance of food systems, yet there is limited empirical evidence on how procurement strategies influence environmental outcomes. This study assesses the environmental implications of municipal food procurement in a rural Swedish region using life cycle assessment (LCA). Procurement data from Östersund Municipality were used to constru…
Cartographic privacy
Numerous quantitative techniques exist for protecting geoprivacy, but often require significant expertise and may not always provide adequate protection. We propose cartographic privacy as a framework for protecting sensitive spatial data. Cartographically private approaches favor using design techniques to obfuscate data rather than statistical ones, appealing to intuitive rather than technical understandings of geoprivacy. We explore this conce…
Determining vertical growth patterns and tissue of maximum age using radiocarbon dating in the long-lived Namib Desert plant Welwitschia mirabilis
Welwitschia mirabilis , a unique gymnosperm native to Namibia and Angola, is a keystone plant species in the Namib Desert. It represents the only extremely long-lived non-clonal plant species occurring under hyperarid desert conditions, yet limited attempts have been made to accurately determine its age. Here, we present radiocarbon dates from a dead, sectioned Welwitschia of moderate size. We find the outer caudex tissue growth to progressively …
The Power is in the Process
This study adds to the discussion of critical consciousness development through the processes of YPAR, not as an outcome after results are shared, but through the experience of power shifting that occurs as youth become true partners in youth-led YPAR. Combining unique and boundary-pushing elements at the nexus of action research and qualitative research, this paper illustrates particular ways in which power was intentionally directed towards you…
Urban density and child health and wellbeing
This scoping review explores the relationship between urban density and child health and wellbeing, focusing on how urban density has been measured and its association with various child health outcomes. By analysing 53 studies spanning from 1972 to 2023, we identify significant variability in how urban density is defined and measured and mixed evidence regarding its relationship with different child health outcomes. We also highlight context-spe…
Children’s opportunities for play in the built environment
Designing opportunities for play in the built environment is crucial to support children’s health and development. A growing research focus on child-friendly environments has evidenced a shift toward creating spaces and buildings that take children’s needs seriously and work with children as capable experts and active collaborators. Yet, limited attention has focused on how different scholars conceptualise and operationalise research on understan…
Temporary urban uses in response to Covid-19
Earlier research has focused on the temporary reuse of land and buildings in response to economic crises or natural disasters. This article highlights the ways in which the COVID-19 crisis has also triggered multiple examples of temporary use. It develops a framework to categorise different forms of temporary use emerging in response to COVID-19. The article highlights two challenges as the crisis evolves: how to employ temporary uses more effect…
Evaluating the environmental performance of producing soil and surfaces through industrial symbiosis
Industrial symbiosis (IS), where different entities collaborate in the management of energy, utilities, materials, or services, has been identified as an approach to improve resource efficiency and circularity in industry. This article assesses the environmental performance of an IS network with firms involved in waste management, soil, surfaces, paper, lumber, and energy. The aim is to highlight the environmental performance of an IS network and…
Tickborne disease awareness and protective practices among U.S. Forest Service employees from the upper Midwest, USA
Our study provides evidence that U.S. Forest Service employees in Wisconsin represent a high risk group for TBD, and despite relatively high TBD knowledge and engagement in tick protection activities, efforts are needed to reduce their risks for tick bites. More generally, our findings suggest that studies to better understand the factors related to the adoption and effectiveness of public health interventions are needed
Temporary use in England’s core cities
This paper develops an understanding of the structural and spatial characteristics of regulated forms of temporary use across England’s core cities. The paper’s contribution lies in its adoption of an extensive research design that goes beyond the intensive qualitative approaches that predominate in the temporary use literature. We employ a novel data set of 5890 temporary use interventions that have been recorded over a 15-year period (2000–2015…
The Role of Temporary Use in Urban Regeneration
This paper attempts to extend research on the temporary reuse of brownfield land through an examination of its role in regeneration strategies. The analysis draws upon empirical experience in two case study areas: one, Bristol’s Temple Quarter where regeneration policy has tried purposely to promote temporary use, and the other, Liverpool’s Creative Quarter, where policy has attempted retrospectively to capitalize upon ‘meanwhile’ development. Dr…
Whither the urban diaspora? The spatial redistribution of Latino origin groups in metropolitan America since 1990
Our research advances what is known about the urban portion of the Latino diaspora, focusing on the extent to which Hispanic country-of-origin groups have spread throughout metropolitan America. Analyzing 1990-2010 census data for the seven largest origin groups, we find that all seven have become more evenly dispersed across metro areas, with group shares declining in primary gateways and increasing in other types of destinations. At the same ti…
Fragmentation or Diversification? Ethnoracial Change and the Social and Economic Heterogeneity of Places
Our study investigates the diversification and fragmentation theses, fueled by claims that greater diversity is reshaping the social fabric of American life and that the United States is an increasingly fragmented nation. We take a multidimensional view of heterogeneity that considers whether growing ethnoracial diversity within U.S. communities (i.e., incorporated and unincorporated places) has resulted in the consolidation or differentiation of…
Implementation and assessment of a model to increase HIV testing among men who have sex with men and transgender women in Thailand, 2011–2016
HIV testing among men who have sex with men (MSM) and transgender (TG) women remains low in Thailand. The HIV prevention program (PREV) to increase HIV testing and link those who tested HIV-positive to care provided trainings to peer educators to conduct target mapping, identify high risk MSM and TG women through outreach education and offer them rapid HIV testing. Trained hospital staff provided HIV testing and counseling with same-day results a…

State-level changes in US racial and ethnic diversity, 1980 to 2015
Background: Few studies have examined long-term changes in ethnoracial diversity for US states despite the potential social, economic, and political ramifications of such changes at the state level. Objective: We describe shifts in diversity magnitude and structure from 1980 through 2015 to determine if states are following a universal upward path. Methods: ) measures of diversity magnitude based on five panethnic populations. A typology characte…

Literature and the Encounter with God in Post-Reformation England
Each of the figures examined in this study”John Dee, John Donne, Sir Kenelm Digby, Henry and Thomas Vaughan, and Jane Lead”is concerned with the ways in which God can be approached or experienced. Michael Martin analyzes the ways in which the encounter with God is figured among these early modern writers who inhabit the shared cultural space of poets and preachers, mystics and scientists. The three main themes that inform this study are Cura anim…
Revisiting critical GIS
The article looks into the critical geographic information science (GIS) in approaching questions both emerging and enduring around the intersection of the spatial and the digital. It offers trading zones for discussion of issues, for building alliances and interrogating tensions, and for a constant dialectical process of critique and renewal. One tension running through critical GIS is the contradictory role it has played in addressing questions…

High Mortality Among Non–HIV-Infected People Who Inject Drugs in Bangkok, Thailand, 2005–2012
Objectives. We examined the causes of hospitalization and death of people who inject drugs participating in the Bangkok Tenofovir Study, an HIV preexposure prophylaxis trial. Methods. The Bangkok Tenofovir Study was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial conducted during 2005 to 2012 among 2413 people who inject drugs. We reviewed medical records to define the causes of hospitalization and death, examined participant characteristics…

Sociology and the Second Darwinian Revolution
Sociologists tend to eschew biological explanations of human social behavior. Accordingly, when evolutionary biologists began to apply neo-Darwinian theory to the study of human social behavior, the reactions of sociologists typically ranged from indifference to overt hostility. Since the mid-1960s, however, neo-Darwinian evolutionary theory has stimulated a 'second Darwinian revolution' in traditional social scientific conceptions of human natur…

The Role of the Experiment in the Social Sciences
Laboratory research is often criticized for its artificiality and its lack of random sampling. These criticisms are examined within the context of two approaches to social scientific knowledge: the descriptive and the formal. The goal of a descriptive theory is the explication of social events and processes as they exist at one point or specific points in time, while the goat of a formal theory is the development of law-like statements. We argue …
The thematic content of graffiti as a nonreactive indicator of male and female attitudes
Graffiti written by men and by women were collected from the public restrooms of a large Eastern university. Based, in part, on the notion that graffiti are accurate indicators of group attitudes, frequencies of graffiti occurrence within 16 sexual and nonsexual content categories were analyzed to determine differences from results of previous research and between content currently expressed in male and female graffiti. Results indicated that wom…
Total Performance Inconsistency and Status Generalization
Past research has documented the fact that status characteristics organize group interaction. Freese and Cohen (1973) specified a condition under which a performance characteristic would eliminate the effect of a differentiating diffuse status characteristic. The present research extends the Freese-Cohen theory to specify a condition under which a differentiating diffuse status characteristic will eliminate the effect of a performance characteris…

The Effect of Equating Status Characteristics on the Generalization Process
The generalization of information for decision making is a major concern for social psychology. This paper investigates how such generalization is affected by information that equates the actors involved in decision making. We find that when the information that equates actors is diffuse status (age, sex, occupation) it does not seem to combine with or affect information that differentiates actors. Also, it appears that when actors are ranked on …

Evolution, Biology, and Society
Recently, a growing contingent of “evolutionary sociologists” has begun to integrate theoretical ideas and empirical findings derived from evolutionary biology, especially sociobiology, into a variety of sociological inquiries. Without capitulating to a naive version of either biological reductionism or genetic determinism, these researchers and theorists have begun to synthesize sociological thought with research produced in various branches of …

Trading the Known for the Unknown
The Marginal Utility of Information
This paper specifies how the importance or marginal utility of information can change as a function of both its amount and evaluation. Three simple mathematical models are presented: each describes a different relation between decision-making and the amount and evaluation of information available to actors. The model which best describes the data suggests that it cannot be assumed that information of the same type necessarily has the same weight …
The Philosophical Importance of the Rosenthal Effect
Invisible' Religions
One historic function of institutionalized religion is the designation of life's ultimate concerns and the provision of strategies for coping with them. Yinger's functional definition of religion is used in this study to discern (1) what the residents of an urban neighborhood in the Deep South define as life's ultimate concerns, and (2) the strategies they use to cope with them. The findings help support Luckmann's contention of the existence of …

The Explanatory Value of the Unconscious
It is common knowledge that the notion of the unconscious is an essential part of psychoanalytic theory. In recent years, however, Arthur Pap and A. C. MacIntyre have argued that Freud's theory of the unconscious is not explanatory. But a close examination of Pap's and MacIntyre's arguments reveals that they are invalid. If one wishes to show that the theory of the unconscious is unexplanatory, different arguments will be necessary

Theological Statements, Phenomenalistic Language and Confirmation
In a recent paper Michael Tooley has argued that theological statements can be confirmed relative to a phenomenalistic observational language given a certain construal of confirmation. Consequently, he maintains that the verificationist challenge to theological statements, namely that in order to be significant they must be confirmable, can be answered. In this paper I will show that Tooley's argument has serious problems
