The well-known Easterlin paradox points out that average happiness has remained constant over time despite sharp rises in GNP per head. At the same time, a micro literature typically found positive correlations between individual income and measures of subjective well being. This paper suggests these two findings are consistent with presence relative terms utility function. Income may be evaluated to others (social comparison) or oneself past (habituation). We review evidence on from...

It is politicians who have to decide when release the lockdown, and in what way. In doing so, they balance many considerations (as with any decision). Often different appear incommensurable so that only roughest of judgements can be made. For example, case COVID-19, one has compare economic benefits releasing lockdown social psychological benefits, then total these increase deaths would result from an early exit. We here propose a way this more systematically.

Amoebic gill disease (AGD) is the most serious health problem in Atlantic salmon cultured Tasmania. Our field investigation examined prevalence of AGD during 2 years, every year for up to 7 months after transfer sea water. The relationship between environmental factors and was determined. Additionally, effects adding levamisole freshwater baths were investigated a trial. recorded on all farms, except farm A, which did not move from brackish site full‐salinity study. showed bimodal...

Generative artificial intelligence (AI) brings exciting prospects for learning and development (L&D) professionals as those tools can support their performance. This article illustrates how AI help them jumpstart scenario-based e-learning projects with drafts of characters scenarios, brainstorm evaluation questions, suggest sample survey items appropriate response scales. However, L&D should exercise caution before uploading data to systems analysis, may need multiple attempts...

Abstract This introduction sets out the context for special feature on gender and deindustrialization. It briefly outlines development of research in this field contribution made by articles included issue, before pointing to some directions future research.

This article practically applies Sherry-Lee Linkon’s ‘half-life of deindustrialisation’ thesis in examining a deindustrialising Scottish community. Linkon contends that, while the most visibly toxic impacts deindustrialisation have dissipated over time, its lingering effects continue to cause harm more subtle ways. Utilising qualitative research from national study on community organised crime, I consider ways which long-term legacies and disinvestment manifest lived experiences residents...

Political discourse in contemporary Scotland increasingly revolves around the vision of a ‘New Scotland’, more prosperous and meritocratic than rest United Kingdom. This has convoluted relationship with Scotland’s industrial past, specifically social dislocation experienced through deindustrialisation. article analyses deployment this narrative within regeneration efforts former communities Lanarkshire Inverclyde, West Central Scotland, before counterpoising it reflections workers their...

Abstract In the digital age, space has become increasingly structured by circuitry of global capital, communications and commodities. This ‘network society’ splinters fragments territorial according to hidden logic networked capital; with successful criminal entrepreneurs connecting bases in low-risk, controllable territories high-profit markets. Drawing on a recent, large-scale study organised crime Scotland, this paper we elaborate relationship between place, territory markets two...

Despite frequent associations, deindustrialization features rarely in studies of organized crime, and crime is at best a spectral presence deindustrialization. By developing an original application Linkon's concept the "half-life," we present empirical case for symbiotic relationship between former sites industry emergence criminal markets. Based on detailed case-study west Scotland, area long associated with both paper interrogates environmental, social, cultural after-effects community...

In this article, we lay out the basic case for wellbeing as goal of government. We briefly review history idea, which goes back to ancient Greeks and was acknowledged ideal Enlightenment. then discuss possible measures on a orientation could be based, emphasising importance acknowledging political agency citizens thus their own evaluations life. turn practicalities consequences: how would one actually set up wellbeing-oriented decision-making what difference should expect from current...

This study presents a temporal co-registration method combining electromagnetic articulography (EMA) and electroencephalography (EEG) to capture the neural planning execution phases of speech with high precision. Traditional EEG alignment based on acoustic vocal onset is often inaccurate due variable lag between articulatory onsets. Our approach synchronizes EMA-derived kinematics data, addressing these challenges. We also examined interaction EMA systems, focusing integrity signals in...
