Multimorbidity and the risk of post-tuberculosis lung disease
INTRODUCTION: Post-tuberculosis lung disease (PTLD), a chronic respiratory syndrome affecting approximately half of tuberculosis (TB) survivors, is an emerging public health threat in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Multimorbidity, defined as two or more coexisting chronic health conditions, is also rising in LMICs. This systematic review and meta-analysis examines associations between multimorbidity or individual comorbidities and PTLD…
Geographies of Prediction Markets
This commentary outlines the economic, political and moral geographies of prediction markets and maps how they are gamifying the future. These digital platforms are transforming the gambling industry and raising significant ethical questions
Re‐Thinking the Imposter Participant
Imposter participants are participants who falsely claim to meet inclusion criteria. They are an increasingly recognised issue in the interdisciplinary methods literature, an issue which has been exacerbated by the development of online research methods. This existing work recognises imposter participants as a frustration in the research process and provides important interventions that raise awareness and provide strategies of detection and prev…

The gamification of citizenship
This paper outlines the ‘gamification of citizenship’ through a focus on digital rewards, participation and volunteering. In recent years, a proliferation of mobile apps have incentivised behaviour change in various contexts such as health and sustainability. The growth of ‘gamification’ (using elements of game design in non-gaming contexts) in these popular mobile apps is now making ‘good citizenship’ a game to play, with real prizes to be won. …

Thread Control
The ability to control each thread individually in weaving has been the dream of weavers since the invention of the drawloom around the second century BC. Thread control means control of image and form: finer tonal gradations, smoother curves and the possibility to create unique interlacing that alters the physicality of a material, its texture, volume and mass. Until recently looms for such work were not oriented to the individual weaver, artist…
Youth and Young Adult Blunt Use Predicts Progression to Other Nicotine Product Use in the United States
Background Little cigars or cigarillos (LCCs) are frequently modified to smoke cannabis (“blunts”) by youth and young adults. This study investigated whether young blunt users who are otherwise nicotine-naïve are more likely to initiate other tobacco products compared to never blunt users.Methods and Materials Data were from four waves of the Truth Longitudinal Cohort (TLC), a national probability-based sample of youth and young adults (aged 15-2…
What to expect when you're expecting engagement
Community engagement in the planning process to build large-scale solar (LSS) projects can win local support and advance procedural justice. However, an understanding of community engagement in current LSS development is lacking. Using responses from a U.S. nationwide survey (n = 979) of residential neighbors living within 3 miles (4.8 km) of completed LSS projects (i.e. “solar neighbors”) and project details from the U.S. Large-Scale Solar Photo…
Use of a multi-method approach to rapidly assess the impact of public health policies at the state and local level
This rapid and efficient method of coupling online survey data with retail sales data provides a timely and effective approach for monitoring a quickly changing tobacco product landscape, particularly for states and localities where rapidly-available data is often not available. This approach can also be used to monitor other health behaviors and relevant policy impacts
Good fences make good neighbors
In order to meet decarbonization goals, the number of large-scale solar (LSS) facilities in the US is expected to increase considerably. The advantages of LSS over fossil-fueled power generation are numerous and well documented. However, residents living nearby proposed and existing LSS sites have voiced a number of concerns about LSS, including its possible impacts to farmland and agricultural production, biodiversity, stormwater runoff, home an…
Geographies of the event? Rethinking time and power through digital interfaces
This paper examines work in cultural and human geography that theorises temporality in terms of events. Moving from humanist phenomenology, to non-representational and assemblage theories and current geographies of encounter, it suggests these accounts of events tend to analyse the past and future through the lens of the present. Building upon these literatures and the work of Tristan Garcia, the paper argues for an expanded notion of the event, …

Mapping the Moral Geographies of Education
This book explores the growth of ‘character education’ in schools and youth organisations over the last decade. It delves into historical and contemporary debates through a geopolitical lens. With a renewed focus on values and virtues such as grit, gumption, perseverance, resilience, generosity, and neighbourliness, this book charts the re-imagining and re-fashioning of a ‘character agenda’ in England and examines its multiscalar geographies. It …
Psychometric evaluation of the Multidimensional Health Locus of Control scales in English- and Spanish-speaking Hispanic Americans
The English and Spanish versions of the Multidimensional Health Locus of Control scales have not been psychometrically evaluated for use with Hispanic Americans. Hispanic American adults ( N = 436) completed the English ( n = 210) or Spanish ( n = 226) Multidimensional Health Locus of Control scales. A multiple-group confirmatory factor analysis did not support equivalent four-factor structures for Spanish- and English-speaking Hispanic Americans…

Who are American evangelical Protestants and why do they matter for US climate policy
White evangelical Protestants are the most skeptical major religious group in the United States regarding climate change. While their position of political influence in the Republican coalition is widely recognised, the full range of effects of this position on evangelicals' climate opinions is not. To move research on evangelicals from the margins of climate change opinion research, we review and integrate the interdisciplinary literature on US …

Voice
This article uses the sonic geographies of childhood as an entry point into long-standing and important debates in the sub-discipline on ‘voice’. The article uniquely explores children’s voices from the past through considering a different type of research material – archival audio recordings. It argues that literally listening to past children’s voices (and noises, sounds and silences) can offer fresh insights into the concept of voice that tend…

Geographies of education, volunteering and the lifecourse
This article extends the current scholarly focus within the geographies of education and the geographies of children, youth and families through an original examination of the Woodcraft Folk - a British youth organization founded in 1925 that aimed to create a world built on equality, friendship and peace. This article illustrates how voluntary uniformed youth organizations had a much wider spatial remit and more complex institutional geographies…
An instruction in good citizenship’
This paper examines informal citizenship training for youth and the historical geographies of education over time through analysing the Scout Movement in Britain and its activities in the first half of the twentieth century. In doing so, it highlights the complexity of youth citizenship and the significance of non‐school spaces in civil society to our understandings of young people’s positioning as citizen‐subjects. Drawing on archival research, …

Geographies of youth work, volunteering and employment
This paper brings together current geographical debates on volunteering and employment through a unique focus on post‐war youth work. I use the example of the Jewish Lads' Brigade and Club in Manchester, UK to make a series of wider arguments about the emotional labour of paid/unpaid work, faith‐based identities and the spatialities of informal education. Through conceptualising youth work as a series of localised and inherently spatial practices…

Surprise! Public historical geographies, user engagement and voluntarism
This paper aims to expand understandings of ‘public geographies’, not usually associated with historical geography, through considering voluntarism. It seeks to bring together debates on research practice, positionality and the ‘surprise’ instances of user engagement. To do so, it draws on two experiences and opportunities that emerged during my doctoral research in Wales on the cultural‐historical geographies of scouting in Britain: first, curat…

This article examines the exposure, and in some cases dismissal, of Boy Scouts who belonged or sympathised with the Young Communist League in Britain during the early 1950s.

In particular, the post-World …

Social Capital, Social Inclusion and Changing School Contexts
This paper synthesises a collaborative review of social capital theory, with particular regard for its relevance to the changing educational landscape within Scotland. The review considers the common and distinctive elements of social capital, developed by the founding fathers--Putnam, Bourdieu and Coleman--and explores how these might help to understand the changing contexts and pursue opportunities for growth

Citizenship and faith
One of the accusations levelled at Muslims in the West is a lack of engagement with established institutions and organisations in civil society. As this book seeks to ask what Muslims have to be hopeful about today, and how others may share this hope, we need to uncover the hidden and marginalised stories of where Muslims are not only participating in these spaces, but can also act as the driving force for new growth within organisations. This ch…
