Emerging Resistance in the Digital Transformation of Public Transport: Older Passengers With Dementia and Experiences of Ecobiographical Disruption

open access: yesInformation Systems Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The digital transformation of public transport is prone to resistance. Among the discontents of such transformation, older people and those living with cognitive impairments are repeatedly identified. Stereotypes assuming their innate resistance to technological change are widespread, but research shows that older people with dementia can have

Beyond the Sober State: The Work of Drunkenness in British Bureaucracy

open access: yesSociology Lens, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article reports the drinking stories of British civil service clerical workers based at a large civil service office complex located in Newcastle upon Tyne between 1968 and 1993. It uses these stories to develop an account of state formation that takes seriously the place of joy, solidarity, contention, and exhaustion within public sector

Temporomandibular Disorders, Work Productivity, and Activity Impairment: A Cohort Study Using a Claims and Survey Database in Japan

open access: yesJournal of Oral Rehabilitation, EarlyView.
This 3‐year cohort study using linked claims and survey data examined the association between temporomandibular disorder (TMD) diagnosis and work productivity and activity impairment among 18 570 Japanese workers. After covariate adjustment, TMD was associated with higher odds of overall work impairment (OR, 1.42; 95% CI, 1.03–1.96) and activity ...

Molecular confirmation of Leishmania infantum infection in the sand fly vector Phlebotomus neglectus (Diptera: Phlebotominae) in Slovenia

open access: yesMedical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Leishmania DNA was confirmed in phlebotomine sand flies collected in Slovenia. Molecular analyses confirmed Leishmania infantum in a pool of Phlebotomus neglectus females with a high parasite DNA load. The findings indicate potential conditions for local transmission and support continued entomological surveillance.

Epistocracy and the Commitment Problem

open access: yesPhilosophy &Public Affairs, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The epistocracy debate has turned largely on the character of the electorate—what voters know, whether competence filters can be designed well, and what filtered selection produces. Another strand has focused on the legitimacy of epistocratic justifications. I ask instead about the equilibrium effects of the institution.

Field‐grown coastal dune plants exhibit similar survival, growth, and biomass in recycled glass substrate and natural beach sand

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Restoration of coastal dunes following tropical storm events often requires renourishment of sand substrate dredged from offshore sources, although dredging has well‐described negative ecological impacts and high economic costs. As a potential solution, recycled glass sand (cullet) made from crushed glass bottles has been proposed as a potential ...

Field‐based evaluation of glass cullet as a supplementary sediment source for coastal restoration

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
There is an ever‐increasing demand for sand to support projects like beach nourishment and dune restoration, but dredging and mining sand causes environmental damage. Demonstrating the environmental and ecological compatibility of crushed and ground glass known as cullet to support coastal restoration projects could simultaneously divert waste from ...

Can surface treatments and climate matching enhance restoration success in the Sonoran Desert?

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Restoring native plant communities in arid ecosystems through seeding is a critical yet often unsuccessful strategy due to severe environmental stressors, including degraded soils, low and variable rainfall, and seed predation. Objectives To improve restoration outcomes, we examined the influence of seed mix types and soil surface
